Original subtitles

What are you doing?

Who told you to light a fire?

I thought I might catch a cold.

If you light a bonfire,

it's like announcing we're here.

That's why they call you slow.

What's so funny?

Can't you do anything but laugh?

- I'm fed up with you today. - No way.

Shut up.

Let's get out of here.

People call me Buddha.

Buddha's thunder.

I've never been angry before.

But why did he start helping?

He's only interested in doing things with his hands.

Hey, you always throw this away, don't you?

Musashi also came.

They're putting in money as well.

That's all they can contribute.

Next week.

There's a ship leaving for Siberia.

I need two or three luxury cars.

The bureaucrats over there want them.

Luxury cars?

Musashi said he'll definitely bring them.

These guys, they're messing with our business.

Hey, let's go back.

Hey, can't you hear?

Oh. It's you Rai.

You're here to see Yuma again?

Hey, Shiba.

Hey, Shiba.

When we were kids,

you saved me when I was being bullied, didn't you?

Do you remember?

That story again.

You're so persistent.

You saved me from them, when they were throwing sand at me.

So annoying.

Don't remember?

I remember it.

That's enough.

Hey, Buddha.

You wanna be a punching bag?

Why?

Because I'm frustrated. I want to hit you.

Come on, behave yourself!

You have no emotions.

You don't get angry, laugh, or cry.

So, even if you're hit, it doesn't hurt.

That looks painful!

Don't oppose me and I'll let you off easy.

Got it?

You got that?

Who's there?

It's Rai, right?

How did you know?

Because I can feel it.

Are you done for today?

Yeah, it ended early.

Rai, were you collecting scrap metal again?

What are you planning to do with all that metal?

Want to know?

Yeah.

I'll show it to you now.

- Show it? - Sorry.

I mean, not in that way.

It's fine. You can touch it, right?

Yeah.

Then let me touch it.

Alright, let's go.

Grab this.

Be careful.

What's this?

There's something there.

Hey Rai, what is this?

It's the Iron Buddha.

Iron...?

A Buddha to judge humans.

Made from the iron wasted by them.

Soon, I'll imbue it with a soul.

Then, it will rise and destroy this worthless world.

Why?

Why does the world need to be destroyed?

Evil is rampant.

The strong are dominating the weak.

Rai...

It's wrong.

Yuma, you've been bullied all this time too.

It's not good to become twisted just because you're left out.

I want to change this dirty world into something beautiful.

Yuma.

What are you doing here?

Shiba?

Are you two in that kind of relationship?

Were you getting cozy inside?

No, it's not like that.

It's okay, don't be embarrassed.

Shiba, wait.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like that.

Are you scared?

I'm not scared.

Say...

About us...

Do you really have no intention of getting married?

Of course not.

Do you remember the promise we made as kids?

When I said let's get married, you said yes.

Dummy.

It's because I can't see that you're holding me like this, right?

Shiba?

Shiba?

Stop joking around.

Over here.

If you really like me, try walking towards the sound of my voice.

This way.

This way.

You can't run away anymore.

- Come on, now! - Come on!

Stop screaming.

I'm scared already!

Shiba.

Shiba!

You're dead!

Enough, stop it.

At this rate, he'll die.

Now you know what happens when you piss Shiba off.

That guy was running away like an idiot.

He ran like this.

It won't get finished if this goes on.

Koto-kun.

What's up with you?

Shiba, Dad's looking for you.

He needs your help with work.

You do it.

Dad wants you in charge of the shop.

No way.

Listen...

Cars are to be sold, not repaired or dismantled.

And what about Yuma?

Is this what you're doing now?

You...

Do you like Yuma now?

Buddha, are you in love?

Love?

If you keep thinking about a girl all the time, that's love.

It's impossible for you.

You're too young to fall in love.

Wanting to do this kind of thing, that's love.

Hello.

Shiba!

Hey! What are you doing?

Rai!

What happened to Shiba?

Where did he wander off to?

All the units that were there are gone.

No engines either.

Shiba took them, right?

What the hell is he doing?

Why hasn't he come back?

Don't tell me, he's doing something that disgraces me?

What is it, Rai?

Are you involved in the mischief too?

Picking up scrap metal again.

What's the point in making a Buddha out of metal?

The older brother's a crook, and the younger one a slowpoke.

I didn't choose to be born slow.

Why don't you have any expectations from me?

I do expect something from you.

What's that?

Normal things.

That you'll be normal.

Still can't confess your feelings?

Thinking about it keeps you up at night, doesn't it?

I'm slow, I'll be hated if I confess.

That's not true. You're fine as you are.

Everyone mocks me and calls me Buddha.

It means you're a decent human being.

You think so?

You're not a thug and you notice flowers by the roadside.

Beautiful flowers will bloom soon. You can have it.

Can I ask you something?

You've been in love before, right?

You know how to love somebody.

How should I do it? Teach me, granny.

How to love?

Well... there are many ways.

First of all, women like strong men.

You're weak against someone you truly love.

So, love is power.

If you like her, try embracing her boldly.

At first, she may say she doesn't like you or that you should stop.

They say a woman's heart and the autumn sky are unpredictable.

But in reality, it's the opposite.

If you hesitate, love is over.

Right, Rai?

Listen, if you find a girl you like, gently pin her down.

Were you pinned down too, granny?

I was, a long time ago.

Can I do it?

If you can't, she'll be taken by another man.

Yes, Senikai-kan.

He's here.

Yes, he's here. Just a moment.

Cho-san.

Cho-san, you have a call.

That was from Kagawa.

She always calls without any reason.

It's proof that you're loved.

Can't say anything about that.

You must be exhausted.

This is from Rai. It seems that he likes you.

Is that so?

I think you two would be good together.

Yuma, what do you think?

Nothing much.

Is that so?

Well, I'll go for a walk then.

Take care, Yuma.

It's Yuma.

Is it okay?

Yuma.

Yuma, can you lend me some money?

Mom, no one will lend to us anymore.

Then we'll starve to death.

Sell something, or borrow some.

There's nothing left to sell.

If there was something worth selling, well, it's still here.

Chizuko.

Did you buy the liquor?

Yes, right away.

Can't you behave properly?

Why don't you help at work? You're just causing trouble.

Where did the engine go?

And what about the tires?

Stop! Stop it please.

That's why your mother became that way.

Lamenting her unsuccessful sons, might as well commit suicide.

Shut up!

That was... because of your affair, wasn't it?

It wasn't our fault.

Let's go.

Hey.

I'll show you something good.

What?

What's that?

I found it when I was a kid.

It's from a samurai a long time ago.

Can you use it?

What are you looking at?

What about Yuma?

You can have her.

It's not about that now.

Shut up!

Get out of here.

Go away.

What about Yuma now?

Are you asleep yet?

Please, entertain that man for me.

I'm too exhausted today.

Go talk to him.

- No. - Please.

I don't want to touch him anymore.

Give me a break.

Were you always such a selfish child?

No.

You think you've made it this far being blind without anyone's help?

Just pretend it's a dream.

I'm always grateful.

Good morning.

Can't even greet your parents?

Your education is to blame.

She was disobedient last night too.

Despite being taught the importance of gratitude.

It runs in the family.

I wish you could just be honest.

Good morning.

Yes.

- Thank you for your hard work. - It's so hot, it's killing me.

Sorry about that.

This...

Could you put this in the sauna's fridge?

The sauna on the second floor?

Wow, it's hot.

What are you doing?

I planted seeds here.

The flowers have finally bloomed.

Why here?

I want to beautify this town.

There's too much filth.

Right. That's admirable.

As expected, it's Buddha.

What are you flirting with Shiba's girl for?

You're not going to be mine?

No, I'm not.

Who would want to be your girl?

Shiba's nothing compared to me.

Sooner or later, you'll come to me on your own.

Muji.

Can I hit him first today?

Yesterday's brawl was no good.

I guess so.

This one is a special punching bag.

Ready, set, go.

You're strange, you can't even feel it.

Something's off today.

Let's leave.

Right.

Hey Buddha.

Become a punching bag.

I'm so frustrated. I wanna hit something.

What are you doing?

Shiba.

Do you remember when you saved me from being bullied as a child?

This story again?

Everyone was throwing sand at me and you helped.

I don't remember such old stuff.

You did help me.

You are kind.

You've always protected me. Me who can't see.

Don't interpret things to suit yourself.

Hey Shiba.

Won't you come to the city with me?

City?

How are we supposed to live with you being blind?

I'll work.

This actually pays quite well.

I'll make it easy for you.

Besides...

I've been secretly saving money.

Money?

You have money?

How much?

Enough for both of us to get by for a while.

Then show me.

If you're serious, I might consider it.

Really?

I'll show it to you next time.

Yuma.

It's hard to walk.

It's okay.

About the sand...

It wasn't Shiba who saved you from the bullies.

It was me.

What are you talking about?

I took the sand away from everyone.

Don't lie.

It's true.

My brother pretended to help,

but in reality, he was throwing sand with the others.

How can you say that?

You'll go to hell for lying.

Who's going to hell?

I know you can see.

You stole money from a customer's wallet.

Since when can you see?

Since when have you been able to see?

It doesn't matter when.

Why pretend to be blind?

Because I don’t want to see.

Because there are things I don’t want to see.

Like what?

Everything.

Yuma.

Come sleep on your father’s new futon.

- No, he’s not my father. - He wants to sleep with you.

No.

Be a good girl.

Just pretend to be dead, like before.

It’ll be over quickly.

It hurts.

Don’t be cheeky.

Who do you think you owe your life to?

Because of who?

Yuma, who do you think gave you life?

Let go. Rai.

Let go.

Why can't you love me?

Love you?

I think about you every night.

Don’t touch me.

If you come any closer, I'll bite my tongue off.

Do you hate me that much?

What do you like about Shiba?

He's strong...

and kind.

If I beat Shiba...

will you like me instead?

You can't beat him.

Shiba is the strongest in the world.

Look, if it isn't Buddha.

Let me help.

- Impossible, you're a Buddha. - Helping out here is different.

It's better with more people.

Anyway...

You never know where surveillance will come from.

Watch the darkness.

It's quiet.

What's wrong?

Got cold feet?

Of course not.

Oh, here they come.

Come on.

Shiba, something's coming this way.

Isn't that Muji's boat?

It's Muji, isn't it?

Muji, go away.

Get out of here.

You guys, go somewhere else.

You were too slow.

I left some tiny ones for you.

You should be grateful.

Hey, let's go.

Yuma, you worked until late yesterday.

I have a good job for the night.

A friend of mine, a club manager, saw your photo and said you're special.

And it wouldn't be an issue that you can't see.

Why don't you work there at night?

Your Shiatsu job alone won't feed the family, you know.

No.

Don't be so heartless.

I don't want to.

Then how are you going to live?

Hey, why are you making such a thing?

What are you going to do with this?

Eh? What are you going to do?

Dad, this Buddha is Mom.

What?

I enshrined Mom's soul in it.

Because Mom doesn't have a grave.

Mom's body was taken away by the waves.

Shut up! Stop it!

Are you saying it's my fault?

Damn it!

Why did you do that?

What are you doing?

Bastard!

Don't mess with me!

What...

Stop it!

Is that the only dance you know, Shinzo?

Shinzo-chan, wonderful!

Shinzo-chan, you're amazing!

Let's go find a car.

Alright!

What's this?

Who do you think I am?

A dimwit, right Dimwit-chan?

Say that one more time!

Dimwit.

What's wrong, Shinzo-chan?

You're suddenly so quiet.

- Dimwit. - Let go!

Let me go!

I've got a car for you. Yes. Yes.

It's a good one. Yes.

You can check it out next week, yes.

We'll be waiting. Yeah, Yeah.

Thanks.

What a pain in the ass.

Get him down.

Alright.

Look!

What is it?

Very well.

They hurt when you push them in like this.

Let's see how much further we can push them.

Turns out they go quite far.

Shinzo, pulling them out hurts just as much.

They'll be really hard to get out.

I'll help you and pull them out now.

Does it hurt?

It hurts?

Muji!

Muji!

What are you doing?

Stop that!

Stop! Stop!

Wait.

That's dangerous.

I said it's dangerous.

It hurts!

Please.

I won't bother you again, okay?

What about poor Shinzo?

Can't breathe through his nose. Shall we do the same to you?

What are you saying?

Despite your face, you have nice ears.

It'll bloom beautiful flowers. I grew them. Here you go.

Shiba is just using you.

- What? - Don't worry.

- Why? - I'll tell you if someone comes.

Shiba, what do you think of me?

We're childhood friends. You're like a sister to me.

Would you make your sister do this?

What about the money? Is it really there?

The money?

It's there.

Where?

It's okay. I won't tell anyone.

It's just between us.

Just between us.

It's our fund to go to the city.

Can't tell the others, right?

Under the shelf in the locker.

Locker...

I see, that's good.

Let's save more, for the both of us.

Yes, I'll do my best. Let's do it together.

It will be a million soon.

Really a million?

Alright, with a million we can go anywhere.

Ms. Shinako?

Ms. Shinako, excuse me.

My friend passed out drunk in the sauna.

What? That's troublesome.

It's written right there, drunk customers aren't allowed.

Mr. Cho, come help us out.

I am a Buddha.

I've never hit anyone before.

Wow. What's that?

Yuma found it for me.

So will you buy me something?

Buy anything you like.

Really? I'm so happy.

- Do you need something? - Let me help tonight again.

Finally, you're becoming useful to me.

What do we do now, Brother?

I don't need your help.

Are you guys really brothers? You don't look alike.

Yumaka. What's wrong?

I have to talk to Shiba.

He's not here anymore.

He's living elsewhere.

Elsewhere? Where?

Well...

I promised to leave this town with Shiba.

It's better not to get involved with him.

He's a bad man.

He will only cause you pain.

Shiba once promised to make me his bride.

What's wrong?

She bit it off.

What is going on?

What have you done?

Can you see it?

There's hardly any left now because of those guys.

Shiba! Look out! Let's get out of here!

Come on! Let's go!

Pull over your boat.

Don't talk bullshit.

Pull over your boat.

Who's there?

Oh... Rai.

Something terrible has happened.

Yuma's parents were killed.

Killed? By whom?

Well, the police are investigating. They say it was someone they knew.

How's Yuma?

She's in shock, taken to the hospital.

Is she safe?

Being blind was a blessing, it saved her life.

Blind?

If she could see, she would've been killed too.

Rai.

What happened?

Since becoming blind, I haven't shed a single tear.

The feeling of sadness has disappeared somewhere.

It's like I was raised on hatred.

What do you mean? What happened?

If I had emotions, I would've died long ago.

If I hadn't killed those people, I would have been the one to die.

It's okay. I won't ask why. I won't tell anyone. Don't worry.

I've asked my father to take you in at our home.

What about Shiba? Aren't you worried about him?

Shiba?

I want to see him.

Shiba fell into the sea yesterday.

He was trying to shake off the Coast Guard.

The boat lost balance and he fell into the sea.

It was a rough part of the sea, so he probably won't survive.

Liar.

I'll protect you in place of Shiba.

You're lying.

Can you hear me? Please, go on.

Rai.

Doctor, I'm his father. How is he?

He's in critical condition.

My son is foolish, but he's kind at heart.

Please do everything you can to save him.

I think his body is fine, but he hit his head quite hard.

Even if he regains consciousness, it's uncertain if he'll recognize anything.

What now?

What now?

Even if Shiba gets out of hospital, what can we do if he stays like this?

There'll be retaliation. Even the lower ranks are getting restless.

Damn! Can't even step out onto the road.

What do we do?

Stop asking what to do. Shiba is done for!

He'll be like this for the rest of his life!

Hey!

Finish them off!

What happened to Shiba?

We'll be crushed at this rate.

Finish them off!

Thank you.

His mother died early, there was no one to take care of him.

Your coming here has been a big help.

Please let me do whatever I can.

I'm actually the one who's grateful to be here.

Even though you've just gone through a lot yourself.

We're childhood friends.

Taking care of Shiba like this makes me feel at ease.

I see. Sorry about that.

I'll go deliver the car.

Let's be together from now on. Just the two of us.

It's me. No need to pretend you're blind.

You still love him like this?

As long as I live, I'll love Shiba.

Love? Is that love?

What's so funny?

My brother never cared about you.

But now he needs me.

Without me, he can't live.

Face reality. You'll need me someday.

Shiba!

Shiba!

We're being defeated. One by one.

Everyone's hospitalized.

At this rate, we'll all be wiped out.

Shiba?

Wake up please!

I can't...

I can't do it anymore.

You said you liked strong men.

You like men stronger than Shiba, stronger than anyone.

I was the one who pushed Shiba.

I was the one who crippled my brother.

What did you just say?

I did it. I pushed my brother off the boat to have you.

Why?

Why would you do something like that?

Because I love you.

Why? Why would you do such a thing?

Because I love you.

That's not love.

I will forever... hate you.

From today, I am Shiba. From today, you belong to me.

Listen, Shiba is as good as dead now.

But both of us are still alive.

Someday, you will come to love someone who's alive.

It may not be right now, but you'll come to love me eventually.

Who do you like more, me or Shiba?

You can't be compared.

What do you mean?

I like people...

I like people that are like the sun.

The sun?

The sun, huh?

Hey Buddha.

You think you're Shiba?

What's that?

What?

Wait!

What are you doing?

I'll always be by your side.

I won't belong to anyone else now.

What's up with that look!

Shiba?

Do you remember?

You saved me when I was being buried in the sand.

Do you remember the promise to make me your bride?

Your tired body.

I loved easing it.

I'm sorry.

I am...

only yours.

Let us leave.

Together.

Right?

To a world just for us.

Let's go.

Stop.

Don't do it.

What a scholar.

We'll always be together.

I'll be there soon.

Wait for me.

Yuma!

Yuma!

Yuma!

Yuma? Wait!

Don't come!

Rai.

I'm sorry.

Yuma...

It...

It would have been better if I remained blind.

Then I wouldn't have to face reality.

I hate the light.

The light that exposed the world.

Yuma.

Yuma...

I loved you.

Brother...

Yuma...

Let's go somewhere that isn't here.

And...

Let's live happily ever after, the three of us.
