May I ask you for something?

I want you to close your eyes and feel my face as if you're blind.

Is that it?

What is your family name?

Ikarishi...

It isn't Igarashi?

No. My name's Kimi Ikarishi.

I guess you're looking for somebody?

Please have something to eat.

I'll tell the person downstairs to prepare some food.

Bare feet?

Won't you catch a cold?

They're always bare. That's how it is in my world.

Pale...

They are as white as my deceased mother's feet.

What about your father?

He's in bed, sick.

My mother worked and raised us by herself.

Because of that, mom's face and arms were always black, covered in filth...

But her feet were surprisingly white.

I do have a younger sister.

She's 13 years old.

Eventually, she will be sold and come here too... like me.

What's this?

Go back home with it.

But...

I don't know how much money you owe here,

but this should be enough to pay it all off.

So go home.

And there, get a job, live happily and take care of your sister.

Ma'am, thank you so much.

I will send all this money to my father,

so my sister won't have to drop out of school

and be sold like me.

Tsuno, this game's on me.

I'm done. Thanks for the game.

Excuse me. We meet again. - Yes.

Wait...

Let me dare say that until the last game, all games were in your hands somehow.

I thought that was your way.

Yet at the end, you lost the game without a second thought

and that got me want to see you playing the game more.

I believe this next turn is yours.

What would you say? If I may be so bold...

Yes.

I don't know if I'm competent or if I'm just lucky,

but I will give it a shot for you.

That's it. Your bets in.

- One, two - One...

Bets.

- Finished. - Bets placed.

Over.

That's it.

Oryu.

She couldn't make up her mind.

What was that about?

To tell you the truth,

I've been looking for a girl named Igarashi Kimiko.

Her age is 16.

She got cataracts when she was young.

When I heard of this girl named Kimi, I was so sure it was her.

But... I've aged.

When I heard about this girl's situation, I wanted to help her out of there,

so I decided to make enough money for her to pay her debts, and send it her.

But, I don't know if that's going to really give her a happy life.

If she doesn't struggle out of her awful situation by herself...

Is that wrong?

But you did send the money?

Yes, I did.

In Asakusa, Tokyo...

I heard there was a girl in the Ichimura Ikukashi troupe who was 16 year old.

Due to cancer when she was younger,

she can't see two feet in front of her;

and that made her well-known to the public.

Her name is Sawamura Kimiko.

And when her father was alive, was he a yakuza known as Bakeyasu?

I don't know. I just heard about her from a friend.

But if you take your travels take you east, and feel like visiting...

You might want to see the Family that owns this troupe in Asakusa.

The boss is called Teppokyu.

He's a good man.

Take care of yourself.

Umm...

Where are you headed now, sir?

I'll go meet my sister.

It's been seven years since we were separated but I've finally found her.

She's in Kuruwa.

Then, was that money for your sister?

Next month in Tokyo...

Asakusa

What do you want to see?

Let's go see the Sato Troupe.

How do I get to Senzoku?

What? Senzoku? You're from countryside, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

How do I get there again?

Ask someone else again.

It's popular.

Yes, sir. They're the Roku.

Their show is the most popular in Tokyo.

Ginji, take a walk or something.

If we take control of them, we take control of all the troupes of their company.

Sabae.

Battles now aren't only about fighting and killing, they're about using your head.

I'm going to take over Asakusa, using my head.

Those outdated fools don't deserve to have control of the profitable Roku.

The first step for us to take them will be this Tokyo Theatre.

Father, today was the best turnout we had since I took charge of this Tokyo Theatre.

Oh, is that so?

When this continues, we're going to have three sold out shows by the end of today.

Boss...

We got a call saying that Oryu, head of the Yano Family in Kumamoto, Kyushu is here.

I see.

Man, that show is always awesome!

They're getting better still.

Father, there's a big problem.

What is it?

We had many customers reporting theft.

Go to the police.

What punks.

This will ruin our customers' enjoyable night.

Togo, gather everybody and go look for them

not only inside of the building, but outside as well.

And bring them to me!

Yes, sir.

Oh, good to see you!

I came to greet you.

I have received the letters from Komatare about you,

and in every letter, I read a lot about you.

And yet,

your presence and aura, you're way better than what the rumours say.

Please, enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

Boss, actually, I'd like to ask you for help about a girl I'm looking for.

Excuse me, is Mr. Teppokyu here?

When Mr. Teppokyu comes,

tell him that Samezuno Masagoro has something to ask him.

Are you asking me to lend you Sato Koichi for your Kyushu road show?

Only for the next month.

Would you do this favour for me?

Well, I'm sorry, but I can't grant this.

I know it's impossible to ask for him

for two or three months in the Sanin, and Hokuriku road show like I asked last time,

but, like I've told you, I've establish my own company

so could you please help me out?

I see what you're saying, Samezuno.

But I can't let you take Sato.

We've already scheduled the Sato troupe for the next month and the month after.

Your son-in-law, Suzumura, is in charge of the Tokyo Theatre

so if you ask them...

No, it's not that.

I can't do that to our customers who are looking forward to seeing the Sato troupe.

I see.

I'll go now.

Let me go!

Let me go! What did I do!?

Why are you doing this to me?

You fool!

Who do you think I am?

I'm in the Samezuno Family.

You bitch.

What are you doing?

What should we do?

Our punishment for theft is to cut off the middle finger of the right hand.

We need a rock or something.

Help!

Brother!

Gin, what are you doing here?

Weren't you supposed to be with Boss?

Brother...

Brother, let me take care of this.

What!?

If Mr. Jyu finds this, it'll be troublesome.

You're lucky. This isn't usually how it is.

How cruel.

You said you would quit stealing and move to Ginza to work in a shop. Why?

It's not that easy to get out of this lifestyle.

You, too.

What?

Mr. Ginji, why do you care about me so much?

Don't be silly!

Because I like you.

Since when?

Since when you tried to steal from me

and I caught you.

But you did such cruel things to me...

Well, back then...

I'll take my leave.

What?

You're Okin's partner.

Were you just watching when Okin was going through all this?

Well, so first of all, we have to take care of her injuries.

We should go to the Kanoya teahouse and get some bandages and medicine.

I'm going to go out.

Mr. Teppokyo wants me to bring a post card with the picture of Sawamura Kimika

and bring it to Onami.

So, do not take anything in my store while I'm gone like the other day

and just leave as soon as her treatment finishes.

What? Talking about that wall clock? It's not working anyway.

You're Kano Oume, considered as dignity as the Meiji first mistress, don't be so fussy.

That fussiness is my most charming point.

I see that's how you're still doing your business with your estranged husband.

What are you talking about, you novice?

Novice?

Mr. Otori, watch the store while I'm gone, we have a mischievous boy down here.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Oume, can I have some water in there?

Go ahead. - Me too.

Hey, let me have some water, please.

Oh boy, what a bunch of punks, we've been exhausted by them.

Hey. It's you!

Of course, the easiest way to ask her directly, isn't it?

You fool, she's in the road show and not here.

How could we ask her directly?

That's true.

If she isn't here, we can't ask her.

So, Kimika is 16 now...

She had an eye disease when she was a child. What was the disease?

Night-blindness.

- Night-blindness? - Yes.

Wasn't it cataracts?

It's the night-blindness she had when she was younger.

What about her parents?

They're both alive.

But both of them are gone.

Her mother with some other guy and her father with some woman.

That's why ever since Kimika was young

- she's had a lot on her shoulders. - Ms. Oryu...

I guess it isn't her.

Yes.

Well, anyway, you should see her with your own eyes just to be sure.

She'll be back next month.

Ms. Oryu, could you give us some time?

Hey, bring them in.

Ms. Oume.

Brother!

You kid, you too?

No, sir. I'm not.

My name is Shimano Ginji.

I'm in the same type of business as you.

But I prefer not to tell you my boss's name at this presence time.

And?

I would like to ask you to give me that girl named Okin.

Hey, what happened to your finger?

That finger was already smashed for something, I guess, before we caught her.

All right, Mr. Gin.

I'll talk to you later.

But before that, you all cut off the middle finger of your right hands right now.

Boss, that's too cruel, that's too brutal.

If we cut our fingers off, what're we gonna do from tomorrow on?

Shut your damn mouth!

I really hate crooks like you.

Toku, bring a knife.

Knife!

Even if you are the boss of this town, you don't have the right to do that!

What are you guys looking blue, we're professionals.

We've got to stand up!

Idiot!

Why did you slap me!?

You did something wrong.

Ginji, do you want to know why I left that shop in Ginza?

Money disappeared from the shop, and everyone was searched.

I was searched too.

It was...

It was found in my bag.

This hand...

...my hand did it without my will.

I'll help you.

And you, why don't you wear glasses like I told you?

If you keep living in a mess like this, you'll ruin your eyes again...

and you might be blind.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. Did you just mention your eyes?

Yes.

I actually wanted to be an eye doctor, but...

I couldn't keep paying for the school and I ended up in the street like this...

So, when I saw her eyes...

I knew that those eyes had gone under the scalpel.

She had cataract when she was a child and almost lost her sight altogether.

But she underwent the surgery at the Nabeshima oculist in Nagoya...

Excuse me.

Your real name is Igarashi Kimiko, isn't it?

Is that true?

Okimi...

It's me - Aunt Oryu.

Aunt?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Wait!

I'm sorry I was too hasty.

But you do know who I am. Touch my face with your hands!

You psychopath! Let me go!

- Please... - Okimi!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Somebody, please, cover her eyes!

- Please, you have to... - No!

Okimi...

I've looked all over for you.

I gotta go.

Okimi!

Your hands remember me.

At the oculist in Nagoya, when I took your bandage off...

You showed your face, you stayed with me only a little while.

If you insist on this, why did you abandon me back then?

I was waiting for you.

You were waiting?

My parents died and I was all alone.

So, I begged you not go and stay with me so many times...

so many times, but you left.

Okimi...

Stay away!

Okimi!

There was a trouble in my life, back then,

and I had no choice but to leave you to work it out.

That's the type of life I lead.

I'm not going to ask you to understand me,

but I won't lie to you.

I couldn't be with you, back then,

but I worried about you so much!

Then...

Your parents died because of that trouble, it was as if I killed them.

That's also partially why your father asked me

to give you this saving money when you were old enough to get married.

This is your father's keepsake.

Aunt!

Boss.

Ms. Oryu.

The boss that I work for is Samezuno Masagoro of Kikuyabashi.

What?

Mr. Ginji, I've noticed that you are a quite vivid young man.

Mr. Samezu-Masa has such a good follower.

You asked me to let you take Okimi, but what are you going to do with her?

I will marry her.

I see.

If she marries to someone, she ought not to be parentless.

I'll be her parent.

I'll go to the magistrate and I will officially take her into my custody.

We'll choose a day and tell Samezu-Masa, then we'll formally celebrate.

Until then, you ought to work at the Tokyo Theatre...

And keep yourself clean.

Right, Ms. Oryu?

Boss.

Thank you.

What?

You want to marry to a woman who's been adopt by Teppokyu?

And?

Yes.

Eventually, the boss, Teppokyu, himself will come talk to you.

You fool.

Boss...

Really? Way to go, Ginji.

Sabae.

Tae, you have such a sweet heart, unlike my own.

I don't know how I can apologize for this.

Apologize?

Soji, what happened to your heart?

This is going to be revealed eventually, even if I hide this now.

So, I'll tell you this assuming I'm already dead.

Tae, I have accepted the marriage to Akiyama Chise.

Marriage...

with Ms. Chise?

This has to be a lie.

Please, tell me this is a lie.

No, no!

That's not how we want you to act this part.

I'm sorry. Can I try it again?

Tae, I have accepted the marriage to Akiyama Chise.

Boss, we just got this letter. Tae, I have accepted the marriage to Chise Akiyama.

Tae, I have accepted the marriage to Chise Akiyama.

- Marriage! - Hand it to her.

...with Ms. Chise?

This has to be a lie...

Please tell me it's a lie.

Mr. Ginji... Please tell me it's a lie.

No, it's not.

Boss, I can't do that. Please don't make me do this.

Are you still whining?

Boss isn't asking you to steal or anything.

He's asking you to make that girl take the registered seal of Suzemura...

and the patent of the Tokyo Theatre from Teppokyu for Boss.

When it's done, Boss will happily be there for your wedding.

And even take care of the money to establish your family with that girl.

Are you still complaining about this?

Asshole!

Bro!

If Boss says black is white, it's white.

That's how this world turns.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Okimi?

Ms. Oryu?

Did Kimiko...

It's the patent of the Tokyo Theatre and Suzumura's registered seal.

I was the witness.

But if I stopped her at that moment, she wouldn't be able to stay here.

You, too, overlook this for now.

But they are such important items for this family.

There must be someone pulling the string behind for this sort of matter.

I'll take care of this secretly with her, right now.

Boss.

I know I'm not experienced but let me take care of this matter.

No.

Parents look after their children.

That's the way it is.

No.

You'd better not go for this.

Please, let me take care of this

or I'll be too ashamed to face you.

Ms. Oryu.

Okay, I'll trust you with this.

Good.

Before Teppokyu notices anything, go to a public office after dawn.

Then this is all ours.

Ginji, let's..

- Let's go! - To where?

You can't go back to Mr. Teppokyu.

Excuse me.

I am Yano Ryuko, the 2nd head of the Yano Family in Kumamoto, Kyushu,

and also currently a guest of the Teppokyu family.

I'd like to see the boss here, Samezuno Masagoro, if I may.

Very odd time, but what can I do for you?

I suppose you are Samezuno Masagoro.

What you've done is quite daring.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Mr. Samezu-Masa, we can go to report the theft to police after dawn, or right now...

What are you talking about?

Well, I don't know what you're talking about...

but, if Teppokyu is willing to expose their shame of getting robbed to the public,

go ahead and do so.

Only the Teppokyu Family will gain all the shame.

Oh, isn't that so?

But, Mr. Samezu-Masa,

I wouldn't swell this problem for Boss Teppokyu

who is kind enough to forget all this, once it settles.

How about this...

We both are in this business, so let's bring it to the table and settle this?

What an impudence, get lost!

What do you think, Mr. Samezu-Masa?

So you want a game, but what are you willing to bet?

My life.

Please check the dice.

Fine.

There's only going to be one game.

If I win, I will do what I want.

If you win, I will return what you claim.

All right?

Go ahead.

Odd.

Even.

Game.

Seems I won.

Is that so?

Time for you to get naked.

You idiot. You brought me disgrace.

Odiki!

Is Odiki here?

What?

- The Niju brothers? - Yes.

Is it true? Who did it?

Some strolling Samurai named Aoyama.

He chopped off Boss's arm.

What?

By Aoyama?

He left to Asakusa immediately after that.

We know he would definitely go to the Teppokyu Family when he comes here.

To Teppokyu? - Yes.

All right. Gather everybody.

You've got to find this guy and kill him.

Swear on your sword to kill him.

If Teppokyu noses in and complains about it,

that's even better for us.

Excuse me?

Why?

Sato is my old friend from my hometown since we were young.

So, you got to see your sister?

Yes, I did...

When I got there...

She was in a graveyard under an unmarked tombstone.

Then,

Aoyama...

In a nasty sordid town in Mikawa...

Some lady told me that...

her body was all bruised by men and right before she died, she uttered:

"Brother".

Right before she died.

The lady told me that she tried to escape,

but she was captured and tortured.

She shouted for help and begged them to stop, but they kept beating her.

I was so enraged about that...

But when I meet them, this yakuza family called Nishio...

I bowed to them properly and asked about my sister.

Yet, that bastard called my sister a whore.

So I chopped off that bastard's arm!

Aoyama, it's too dangerous here.

You should go to the Teppokyu Family right now.

No, I can't do that.

That'll cause trouble for your boss.

Now that I met you, so I'm just going to leave to our hometown.

But...

Excuse me.

Teacher, how is it different?

Please, tell me.

Just wait for a minute. Let me think through this.

You think this too. I don't know exactly but it's not right.

But teacher...

Please let me try it again.

Anyway, at the tonight's rehearsal...

You, who are you?

This is Igarashi Kimiko, who was recently adopted by the boss.

She'll be here for a while.

These eyes.

These eyes are what I wanted for the next show!

Unchanged by the ugliness of the world, starry, young, and beautiful.

We are going to rehearse tonight!

Wait a second, please!

Mr. Aoyama,

I've just called Boss and he was really grateful.

I was told to usher you right away.

No.

Please let's not talk about that now.

No. Boss is waiting for you.

If I didn't take you to the boss after coming all this way, I'd be in big trouble.

Hey.

This isn't that much, but take it with you.

I'm always thankful for your thoughtful care.

Mr. Tsunejioro, snow's started falling.

Why don't you stay here at least only tonight?

Thank you so much, but I'm in hurry today.

Hello.

Yes.

Is Mr. Teppokyo here?

If he is, tell him...

Samezuno Masagoro is here to settle for his sworn-brother Nishio.

I need him to give up Aoyama to me.

I heard what you said. But I refuse.

So, he is here?

Yes, he is.

Boss, give him to us.

Samezuno, you live in this world too.

When I have guests with their shoes off, sitting inside of my house...

It's not going to be

"give him over to us", "Okay, here".

You know how what I can do and what I can't do.

Then I can't settle my side.

I will take care of this!

Calm down. Calm down.

Samezuno,

your previous boss and I were really good drinking partners.

We were good friends.

Moreover, we have just happily agreed upon the marriage

between my recently-adopted Kimiko and Ginji from your family.

Let's not bring any trouble here.

If you say so, I'll let him live just a bit longer.

But...

We're going to kill him. Definitely kill him.

I don't care what it causes to your property.

I won't be responsible if the shows on your theatre get messed up or whatever.

I'm not going to back down on this.

Hey, we're leaving.

Tsune...

Boss, isn't this too much?

Idiot, I've been waiting for this opportunity.

We've got a legitimate reason to start a fight.

We're going to smash the Teppokyu family, and own the Theatre.

We're going to make the move at midnight.

If you do anything unusual before then, the police'll step in!

Boss, Mr. Kanai from the Imperial Shinmeikai is here.

Are you all right?

What is it?

"What is it?"

You're too relaxed!

Samezuno said earlier that he doesn't care what happens tomorrow.

If things go a certain way, there is going to be bloodshed.

They're gathering men. What about you? Have you already gathered your men?

Mr. Kanai, I'm still Teppokyu.

I want you to know there is no problem. I take care of Asakusa.

I took off for just a little bit. I will be...

I will be an actress!

I don't have time.

But I really have to tell you that...

Okimi.

Forget about our marriage...

and me.

Forgive me.

Why!?

Tell me why. You promised me.

No reason.

It's just that you've become the daughter of Mr. Teppokyu,

and I'm one of the men of the Samezu-masa Family.

That's it.

Ginji!

Pardon me. May I quickly borrow the space upstairs?

Sure, go ahead.

It's not your house!

Please go ahead.

Mr. Ginji,

you're the most important person for her now.

It's not me or Mr. Teppokyu.

It's you.

Ms. Oryu...

Please, stop being a yakuza.

Being a yakuza can't make a woman happy, Genji.

I can't.

I can't do that.

You know that my family and Teppokyu family will fight now.

How can I leave the Family now?

I won't let them fight.

It's too late.

It's not too late.

I'm not going to let them fight.

Mr. Ginji, happiness for a woman is to be with the one she loves.

That's all.

Okimi wants nothing but to be with you.

She would risk her life to be with you.

You know that.

If you can't make one woman happy, are you a man?

No, I can't.

It's impossible!

It's not impossible.

I don't mean to say anything hard,

but it all depends on you!

Me...

I...

Mr. Ginji...

I really,

really want Okimi to be happy in the way I couldn't be.

That's my amends to Okimi, at least...

I'm Aoyama Tsunejiro, the one you're looking for.

I won't hide or run.

If you want to kill me, I'll be waiting for you at Hyotan Pond.

I said Hyotan Pond.

You idiots, wait! Wait!

Sabae, do not fall for his trick! Come back!

Are you out of your mind? The police are coming.

Retreat! Go back home!

The Roku will be all right for a while since the police will be watchful.

Farewell.

Wait...

There is also a river.

In my country, it's called Kitagami River.

There is a small poor town upriver.

We can also see Mt. Iwate from the town...

and overlooks the trees of the forest...

That's where my parents sleep peacefully.

Your sister will be there too?

Yes.

I want to bury her there.

I really think she wanted to see her brother before she died.

Nonetheless...

I'm glad about you that you could find Okimi.

I'm really glad.

She's the one who brought me a cup of tea at Sato's place, right?

Yes.

She has a very trustworthy fiancée named Ginji.

You are a very kind person.

Please eat this on the train.

Thank you so much.

Human beings are to evolve. Refill, please.

How is that related to us?

By the way, what do you think about Igarashi Kimi?

I knew she had potential.

Let me have a cup of Sake.

Please pay, sir.

Check my account. I'll pay next time.

Sir, please.

You're jealous, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

Your name should be on this paper.

Is that acting?

If that's so, nobody needs to train at all.

Calm down.

Eventually, the Tokyo Theatre and Sato Company will be of my boss's.

When that happens, you might be the star.

Which should we use?

These are both good pictures.

I especially like her small mouth.

For her mouth, even a grain of rice would barely fit.

Why don't you say that about me?

For your mouth, a bale of rice can easily fit in.

You are talking about my mouth as if it's of a monster.

You said that you wanted to be eaten by this mouth before the divorce!?

That was because I was under certain circumstance.

Stop with the circumstance.

Then who is it that is still frequently sneaking into my room at night?

Anyway, Boss, how's this idea for all these good pictures?

You bastard, you did pass off so well.

Hello?

Oh, come in.

You also have a cute mouth.

What is going on?

Boss, the teacher wants to talk to you.

Oh, okay.

Where are we going?

Finish him!

Murder! Murder!

Boss's been stabbed!

Call a doctor!

Futaba, you helped a murder.

Don't hassle so much.

If you be a good girl,

we might eventually let you have some better job.

Sabae...

Deliver this to Mr. Kanae of the Imperial Shinmeikai.

To be ahead isn't only good in chess but in everything.

Make sure you deliver it tonight.

Boss.

Boss.

Who... who did this?

It was Samezuno's men! I saw their faces.

Yeah.... We did.

Damn it!

Why I didn't follow him?

Father!

Boss, be strong!

Okimi...

Your father...

Father!

Boss!

It was the Samezuno Family that stabbed you, wasn't it?

No fighting.

Okimi, we're not going to fight.

Boss.

Ms. Oryu...

No fighting!

Where are you going?

Unless we properly settle this, this Family will lose face.

I'm going to the Samezuno Family and have a word with them.

Please wait!

- Don't try to stop us! - No!

Have you already forgotten the boss's words?

- What he wants? - Please, let us go!

Please, let us go.

I know how you feel.

I feel the same way.

But what does boss always say?

"First the Tokyo Theatre's customers;

second, the customers who come to see the show too".

If we went to fight now, what would happen to the show?

Mr. Kisaburo,

if I were you,

I would think to do the same thing, but...

...please not now.

Ms. Oryu...

Thank you all for waiting.

We are to begin the Teuchi ritual.

Now please forgive me if any sort of wrong order of the process comes up.

Today's ritual's cup will be even.

Now proceed...

Wait a minute.

I was going to talk about this after the ritual,

but to straight out everything,

why doesn't the Teppokyu Family hand over Sato troupes temporarily?

What?

Yes, actually...

Samezuno will run a new performance under my name or better yet...

Why don't you leave the Tokyo Theatre to Samezuno?

What are you talking about?

Asakusa is Teppokyu Family's land.

Are you saying that we should give up all of that?

Don't talk so dramatically.

I'm just saying maybe you should trust Samezuno to run it temporarily...

I have something to say.

What is it?

Yes.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm the 2nd generation leader of the Yano Family.

I come from Kumamoto, Kyushu, and now I'm looking after the Teppokyu Family.

My name is Yano Ryuko.

What does a hick from Kyushu have to say here in Tokyo?

Step back!

Sir...

In this world...

Do you think there is any family that holds back,

when their boss has been stabbed in the back?

Shut up!

We were so enraged that we were about to raid the family that stabbed our boss.

And yet, since our boss didn't want to disturb the show at the Tokyo Theatre...

we are here today, enduring our fury.

Then, suddenly you are saying we should give up our land?

We are not going to put us with this nonsense.

Everyone, what do you think?

You bitch!

Kisaburo...

What's with using this bitch to complain?

If you want, we can settle this right here, right now.

- Bring it on! - Mr. Kisaburo.

Instead of the Teppokyu Family, the Yano Family will join this fight.

You...

What did you say?

Mr. Samezu-masa, if anybody uses a sword to me, you should be the one.

Damn it.

Kill this bitch!

I take care of the Yano Family's fights.

Mr. Oniki...

Ms. Oryu. I came all the way here.

Who the hell are you?

Me?

I'm Kumazawa Torushichi

who shared Sake with Ms. Oryu to be married...

...no, but who did shared Sake with Ms. Oryu to be sworn-siblings.

Get back here.

You wait!

Mr. Oniki

Ms. Oryu, what should I do to this punk?

Just wait.

Oh, oh, I'll wait.

I'll wait for years and years. I'll stay single.

Samezu-masa!

You are Yakuza too.

You should know what's allowed and what's not.

What you did is unacceptable!

Hands off Mr. Kanai.

Shut up!

If you want these hands off him, you first put your hands up.

Then, cut two fingers off and come right here and apologize for what you've done!

A spoiled kid like you can't cut his finger off himself...

I know so, that I will help you with that.

You take care of the other one.

Give me a knife.

Hurry! Brother, hurry! Mr. Oniki!

Brother, what took you so long.

If we missed this train, there's no way to make it to the ship to Shanghai.

Then, make the train to wait for us.

Mr. Oniki, are you going to Shanghai?

Attention! For the country! It's a military command.

You fool, when Ms. Oryu is in trouble, I don't care about the damn police or military.

I'll stay with Ms. Oryu. I quit going to Shanghai.

What are you saying!

Brother, when it comes to Ms. Oryu, you become totally blind about everything.

Of course. Ms. Oryu is my lovely, lovely sister.

I AM your sister.

Okay. It doesn't matter. But we've got to go.

Mr. Oniki, I don't want to be a burden.

If my trouble holds you back, I, as your sister, would be sorry.

I'd like to see you off when the ship departs, but...

So... forgive me.

What a pretty thing to say. Well, then I'll go.

Oh, Mr. Oryu, you're in hurry, aren't you?

Then why don't you use this carriage?

We're going to run. Right?

Mr. Ginji...

Forgive me.

Tell me why.

Forgive me, forgive me!

Sir, we're late for the sow's opening tonight already.

Isn't the teacher here yet?

No. Kimiko isn't here either.

She went off to the Kanoya teahouse to pick up the show's programs.

Sir, the teacher hasn't showed up at the Kanoya.

We can't delay any longer.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

You come here immediately along with Kisaburo.

Bring your seal, Teppokyu's seal, and the patent of the Tokyo Theatre.

The registered seal? What are you talking about?

Sato Kobi and Igarashi Kimiko are here in my hands.

It's my choice for whatever happens to them.

Just to make you sure, I'll let you hear their voice.

Hey, bring them in.

Stop it!

You understand? Do what I said.

So, did you change your mind?

Are you willing to work for me now?

Never.

You, just a mere performer.

Don't you understand that I'm being real nice to you?

A performer has a performer's grit.

I know what's obligation and what's kindness too.

Hey.

How about that?

Stop it! Stop it!

Boss, please stop torturing Okimi. Please.

Ginji, where are the rest? Where is everyone?

You loser!

Did you run off on them?

Hey, Sato, look.

If you keep resisting, I can blind this star actress's eyes.

Don't! Stop it!

Hey, open this girl's eyes wide.

Stop it!

What are you trying to do to Boss?

Are you kidding me?

You piece of shit!

Mr. Ginji!

Ginji!

What's going on? Kimi?

Boss...

Here you are.

Did you bring the patent and the seals?

The Tokyo Theatre and the Sato Company will belong to Samezu as of today.

We've already readied all the documents needed, we just need you to stamp on them.

How low-down and dirty are you going to get?

Who cares. Bring the documents.

Clean up.

Don't touch him!

Mr. Sato!

Careful.

Take a seat.

I said take a seat!

Hurry up!

Stamp here.

If you hesitate, not only Sato, but that girl's life will be lost, too.

What?

Mr. Kisaburo, nothing is more important than our people's lives.

Give me the patent.

Ms. Oryu.

You bitch!

Mr. Samezu-masa, how ugly are you going to be?

What?

If anybody moves one more step, there will be a bullet-hole in your boss's chest.

Mr. Samezu-masa, I want everybody back.

No way.

Take everybody out, hurry.

Mr. Ginji?

Mr. Samezu-masa, are you still a yakuza?

Beating a young man to death who left this underworld

to live in the upperworld.

How can you hold your name, if you are doing something like this?

I don't preach to me. Toku!

Yes.

Mr. Samezu-masa, if you truly want to continue this, I told you to the ritual.

You fight me one on one, alone.

I'll give you this, you have guts.

Tonight, at midnight, come to the Ryounkaku.

Understood.

Stop you idiots.

That bitch is the problem.

First, we've got to get rid of that bitch, and then strike the Teppokyu at once.

Gather our men.

Yes.

I was fostered by you.

I grew to be a strong and mature woman.

But that's me only when you are with me.

I alone have two hands, but when we are together there are four hands.

You once you told me that if we were together we could overcome all obstacles.

Was it all just a lie?

There's no lie in me liking you. Please, believe in me.

This is our fate; we cannot be together.

Fate.

Fate, fate...

Fate is something that we change or grab with our own hands.

You are a strong woman.

You are standing firm like this cedar with steady roots.

Ms. Oryu. I will go with you.

Mr. Aoyama.

With your support, I could properly bury my sister in the graveyard in my hometown.

How about your Okimi?

Let's go.

I appreciate your offer, but this is a one-on-one fight.

Then, I'll walk you there. I'll look after you.

Trading the peak of my womanhood with yakuza life

Red Peonies sway on my body that I risk

Such determination of a woman

Kills romance in the night sky as I travel

Aoyama?

Oryu, this is supposed to be one-on-one.

I'm just a witness.

What?

Mr. Samezu-masa, battle is about luck and destiny.

No matter who wins, there is no resentment or grudge afterwards.

Of course.

Mr. Samezu-masa, wasn't this supposed to be one-on-one?

Shut up.

To avenge our brother, kill them!

Samezu-Masa, this is your end.

Mr. Aoyama.

Ms. Oryu. Let me take blame for this.

If you disappear again...

Okimi will be all alone again.

I've decided to do this. Don't stop me.

Mr. Aoyama...
