Nagoya Mid Meiji Period

If I may have your attention, please.

Please allow me to present my formal greeting.

Mr. Hashimoto...

...ladies...

...and gentlemen in the house.

Please allow me to introduce myself.

We have never met before...

The place I was born is ltsuki, Kyushu...

...in the Kumamoto prefecture.

I am just a newcomer.

It's impertinent to announce my name, but please allow me.

My name is Ryuko Yano.

They call me Oryu, the Red Peony.

I'm traning myself to be a great gambler.

Please be aquainted with me...

...and give me your guidance from now on.

Thank you very much for your polite introduction.

I'm an underling working for the Nishinomaru family.

I take my orders from the head of the family, Teijiro Sugiyama.

My name is Kanezo Kitamura.

I'm traning myself to be a gambler, too.

I'm glad to meet you.

Thank you.

You can raise your hands first.

That's kind of you.

Let's raise our hands all at once.

Thank you.

Kumatora, a boss in Shikoku...

...has written this letter of introduction for me.

Please tell your boss I'd like to see him.

Wait!

Tell her we won't introduce her to the boss and send her on her way.

Have I done something wrong?

Don't feign ignorance.

This is no place for a cheat like you.

Cheat?

Three months ago, you were found cheating at the Domyo Family in Hamamatsu.

The Domyo confined you in a warehouse but you got away.

There must be some kind of mistake.

No. The rumor's been circulating.

Wait.

Are you the head of the Nishinomaru family?

I'll see the letter you brought.

Let me allow to give you some advice...

You're to take care of the gambling party held for the Atsuta Shrine.

Even if she has a letter, you'd better not to ruin your reputation by making her your guest.

I've read the letter, Oryu.

Stay here as long as you like.

Thank you.

So, it's all right with 30 people, right?

Let me ask you something Nishinomaru...

Why do you give shelter to a cheat?

Who are you talking about?

Oryu, the Red Peony.

Who are you?

I'm Kimbaru's sworn brother, Josuke Domyoji from Hamamatsu.

I'll lose face if I let her live.

Hand her over to me.

Sorry, but I can't do that.

What did you say?

Please wait, you two.

Who are you?

Oryu, the Red Peony.

Stop joking.

You can't be Oryu.

Nishinomaru, you can't trick me with a stand-in.

I saw her with my own eyes.

Looks like it's the wrong girl.

The boss of Nishinomaru, someone seems to be gambling under my name.

Please let me take care of this.

All right, I'll leave it to you.

Thank you.

How about you?

She'll come to Nagoya someday.

I'll watch you take care of this then.

Welcome home.

Sir...

Thank you for coming.

The extension of Atsuta Port will be formally decided.

Then...

The one who constructs it can make a huge profit.

Who shall it be?

This is my daughter I talked about - Yae.

If I make her my second wife, you and I will be related.

Your wife?

Lovely girl!

I like her.

Take my betrothal gift.

Kimbara wanted my advice about the improvement of the gamblers in Nagoya.

I would like to make this proposal.

Starting with the coming big gambling party for the repair of Atsuta Shrine...

...how about managing events with seven of you together?

One of you has to act as a leader, of course.

Good idea!

Mr. Furuta gave us good advice.

Why don't we do that?

Who would be the leader?

Let's ask Kimbara. He's the one who asked for Mr. Furuta's advice.

No, I'm not worthy...

I didn't mean to have things turn this way.

Don't hesitate. They recommend you. Take the role.

Wait a minute. I haven't agreed to it yet.

Mr. Nishinomaru, all of us are for it.

Even so, I'm not.

I'm leaving. - Mr. Nishinomaru...

How dare you insult me this way!

Mr. Kinbara, we're gamblers.

A gambler should behave like one.

Know your place.

That's all I want to say.

You just wait here, Nagoya. She'll come.

I feel the same way.

You can just wait for her while we eat those famous Nagoya cakes.

What are you talking about?

I don't know either.

Oh, young master...

Young master!

Who is he?

He is the boss' only son.

I thought he was studying at a university in Tokyo.

Jiro.

Yae.

You saw my wire? - Yes, I did.

So I rushed here on a night train.

Yae...

What happened?

Jiro, I'm going to be taken to Tokyo the day after tomorrow.

I'll be forced to get married.

Married?

Yae, what about our promise?

I don't want to go.

But I can't do anything about it.

I'll see Mr. Kimbara, your father.

No use. It's been decided.

Young master.

What are you doing here?

You have to go to school.

Fool!

I'll marry Yae.

Fool!

Can you call yourself a man?

You said you don't want to be a yakuza and wanted to study, so I let you go to Tokyo.

And you have the nerve to come home just because of a girl.

Go back. Go back to Tokyo.

Father...

I didn't say I'd quit the university.

I want to marry her because she'll be the ideal wife for me while I keep studying.

Young master, she's the daughter of a man like Kimbara.

So what?

I'm not marrying Kimbara.

I'm marrying Yaeko.

Of course you're not marrying a man.

So, I'll marry her.

Shut up!

Father!

Don't be silly.

I won't ask you any more.

I'll make her happy by myself.

Young master...

No.

You girls look pretty today.

You two are fair-skinned and have cute noses.

Your hands are nice, too.

Give me a cup of coffee.

Another cup, please.

All right.

I'll pay you.

I've lost all my money.

What's that?

They're gambling inside?

Then, let me make some money there. All right?

Game.

She sure is lucky, isn't she?

I heard there's a customer who is making a lot of money.

Yes.

We lost 150 yen because of her.

That woman.

What? That woman?

She must be the one who cheated at my place using Oryu's name.

Don't make a fuss.

Ready?

Ok, it's ready here.

It's ready.

Game.

She's definantly cheating.

But she's too good. I can't catch her doing it.

Bro...

Let me take care of her. - Wait.

She's too useful to be killed.

Mr. Kimbara.

Is the woman here?

Oh, I was going to send somebody to let you know.

You sure are quick.

Look.

That's the woman.

Well...

we're going to observe what you do with her.

I'm allowed to take care of her.

You'll have no objection to the way I handle this, will you?

But I have a right to...

Leave it to her.

I'll bring her.

Game.

You're Oryu, the Red Peony?

Will you come with me?

Someone wants to see you.

I'm sorry to bother you, but will you step outside?

Bring her slippers.

Excuse me.

I'm Oryu, the Red Peony.

Oryu, the Red Peony?

So what about Oryu the Red Peony?

It isn't the name of an important person.

I can use such an insignificant name if I like.

Just because you saved Okimi doesn't give you the right to lord it over me.

But you shouldn't cheat.

Cheat?

Do you have proof?

Your card of four has two faces.

I've observed you doing it very cleverly.

Right. You found it, so I give up.

Do whatever you like to me.

You...

Are you fine with that? - Yeah, I'm ready.

What are you saying?

You don't care about Okimi?

In our world of yakuza, a cheat deserves to be killed.

If that happens to you, what will become of your blind daughter?

Knowing that, you still don't care what happens to you?

You did it for her, didn't you?

Aren't I right?

I'm sorry.

Otoki.

I'm travelling around the country to train myself.

There's a chance that I may run into your husband.

Can you tell me his name?

Please forget him.

It's for Okimi's sake.

His name is...

...Yasuji lgarashi.

He has a burn on his left cheek.

So they call him Ghostly Yasu.

Ghostly Yasu?

My imposter is gone now.

Only Okimi's good mother remains.

Oryu...

Take this.

No.

I shouldn't accept more of your kindness. - It isn't for you.

It's for Okimi.

There's a boss in Shikoku called Kumatora, who's my sworn brother...

If you need help, visit him. I'll write to him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Take your hands off me!

Mommy!

I won't forgive you if you touch my daughter!

Mommy!

Please.

Yaeko and I are truly in love.

Please allow us to marry.

Hey...

It's been decided that she's going to marry Mr. Furuta, a congressman.

But, that's because...

Anyway, Mr. Sugiyama...

...if you really want her to be happy, please give her up.

She's my late wife's daughter from a former marrige.

She's my stepdaughter.

So I especially want her to be happy.

Even if a kid like you makes a fuss over her...

I'm a full-fledged man.

A full-fledged man means he takes responsibility and risks his life if necessary.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

I can risk my life.

All right.

Show me proof, then.

Proof?

What's the matter?

Takimura...

Don't tease the boy.

Right.

Kid, you've finished now, haven't you?

Go home before you get hurt.

I'll show the proof.

I'll risk my life on dice.

Let me marry her if I win.

We've got a job for you.

He's an amateur. Make sure you win quickly.

Understood?

Here.

I refuse.

You sure about that?

Ready?

Game.

I told you not to sleep.

This is Nishinomaru's house.

What? Mr. Jiro?

Hello.

Mr. Sugiyama isn't in?

That's not good.

I have to talk to him.

He's the kid's father.

Then, I won't kill him till he's back.

Oryu.

Come.

Young master!

Is it true that you proposed the idea of gambling?

By playing a fair game as a full-fledged man, I risked myself on the half chance of winning.

And I lost.

That's all.

Mr. Jiro...

Are you all right with that?

If I can't marry Yaeko, I'd rather die.

Are you satisfied now?

How dirty you are.

You're dirty!

Mr. Kimbara, your real purpose was the big gambling party, right?

That's why you tricked our young master into this. - Don't be crazy!

Don't underestimate Tetsunosuke Kimbara. - Tell us straight then.

What do you want? - Money.

Never mind me. - Mr. Jiro...

You keep out of this now.

Mr. Kimbara, you said you wanted money.

Tell me. How much?

Oryu.

Kanezo...

Please let me take care of this.

As Nishinomaru's guest?

How admirable.

It's going to cost you.

Tell me.

2.000 yen.

Stop it.

Oryu.

Young master. Young master.

Don't do it!

It's a shame to kill a young man with future.

I'll put if off till tomorrow to respect you.

The deadline...

...is 12 midnight.

Bring the money by then, or he'll be killed whether Sugiyama comes or not.

Will you promise me not to touch him until then?

Of course.

Hey...

Excuse me...

Aren't you gamblers, too? Let me ask something.

I'm a travelling gambler.

I'm going to visit the house of Tetsunosuke Kimbara, the boss of this town.

Would you tell me where it is?

Kimbara?

Yes.

That scum!

Kanezo...

I'll tell you. Cross the bridge and turn to the right, and you'll see a temple.

His house is just beyond the temple.

That's kind of you. Excuse me.

Wait!

Take this.

No, I couldn't.

Thank you for your kindness.

You still have a long way to go. Take this.

But I won't be able to return it to you.

So, thank you for your kindness, but no.

Leave it with Kimbara.

Then, I'll borrow this.

Excuse me.

Oryu...

How kind-hearted you are!

When he mentioned Kimbara, I just lost my temper...

Then I talked like that to the traveler.

I know how you feel.

But that polite traveler isn't the one to blame.

Kanezo...

I'm leaving for Osaka by tomorrow's first train.

Osaka?

I'll be back without fail by 12 midnight, the time promised with Kimbara.

Don't tell anyone.

Oryu...

You're going to see Madam Taka, the head of Domae Family, in Osaka, aren't you?

Don't ask me anything.

I just want to bet on myself.

Like Jiro did for Yae.

I want to bet myself on the couple's self-sacrificing love.

And on their desperate, beutiful sincerity.

Yaeko's waiting outside.

Quick!

Yae is?

But why are you?

Never mind and hurry.

Jiro...

Yae...

Go!

Thank you.

Hurry!

Jiro's gone.

Jiro's gone!

Ms Yae is, too.

What are you doing? Break the door.

Did you do it?

Did you do it?

What are you doing?

Get them.

Bro... - Yeah.

Okimi...

Okimi...

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Jiro...

Oryu...

Why did you do this?

If you two do such a thing now...

They'll blame us for breaking the promise and we have to accept whatever they want to do to you.

But, the lady who played the dice game with me helped us.

Lady?

Jiro, who is she?

Her name is Otoki.

Otoki?

She said she'd make up for betraying you, Miss Oryu.

We'll leave Nagoya for good.

Otoki...

What a foolish thing to do!

Come this way.

Search the station!

The train, too!

Mr. Jiro!

Damn. They're getting away. - After them!

You go this way.

You go that way.

Is she the daughter of Boss Kimbara?

I'm Shogo Hanaoka, a gambler staying with the Kimbara Family.

It's my duty to bring the couple back.

Please hand them over to me.

My name is Oryu, the Red Peony.

I understand your situation, but you can't take them back.

I've got to do my duty.

Even if we have to fight?

Yes, even if we use knifes.

Oryu...

Jiro, don't stop me.

This is between this traveling gambler and me.

Looks like you're not the group I was after.

Then, you...

I didn't see the lady called Oryu, the Red Peony.

Do you understand?

You never saw me.

Earlier today, I saw another lady...

...who risked her life for this couple just like you did.

Her name was Otoki.

After she let the couple run away...

...she was brutally killed by a young member of the Kimbara Family.

Otoki?

Before she died...

...she asked me if I see Oryu, the Red Peony...

...to tell her the foolish woman did a foolish thing again and died foolishly to make up for it.

Excuse me.

Mr. Hanaoka...

Take off that bandage, brother. - Fool.

As you know, I took a walk with Oryu with this hand holding hers.

Silly. - If I take it off, her sweet smell will go.

Let's go.

Bro... Do you know where the Nishinomaru boss lives?

No, but I can detect where Ms Oryu is by her sweet smell.

Let's go.

There's a police box!

Where does Sugiyama live?

Which Sugiyama?

It's Sugiyama who does this...

He makes noodles?

No. He's a gambler.

Oh, Sugiyama who is a yakuza?

Right! - Why didn't you tell me first?

Stop talking nonsense.

I'll tell you.

Hey, hold it.

What?

What do you mean you won't do it?

When I'm asking you politely!

What do you mean you won't do it?

I said I'll tell you!

You! You have the same kind of mustache as me...

Why can't you be more polite and tell me?

I've heard about you, but you've grown up to become quite a beautiful girl!

The child looks exactly like me when I was young.

Yes, exatly like I was young...

Stop taking the words out of my mouth!

Come over here.

Please...

Boss...

Forgive me for coming to you only when I need your help though you've taking good care of me.

That's my pleasure.

Thank you for helping this couple.

Leave the rest to me.

I'll go to Nagoya and talk to Kimbara.

Please wait.

I've promised him I'd return to Nagoya. - No.

No. It's obvious that you'll be walking into his trap if you go back.

Oryu...

You shouldn't forgot that you have an important duty to restore your Yano Family.

Leave the matter of Kimbara to me.

It's not only about Kimbara.

There's a gambler who knew everything and still let us go.

I promised him, too, in my heart that I'll be back no matter what.

You mustn't!

Boss...

...if you were in my position...

...if you were me...

...you would act the way I am. So, please allow me.

Fool!

You're a bigger fool than me.

Looks like the person you're waiting is not coming.

Have a carriage ready.

We'll attack the Nishinomaru Family when it becomes 12 o'clock.

Hayakawa... - Yes.

Go and tell this to all the bosses in Nagoya.

"Nishinomaru had his son kidnap Ms Yae and had Oryu trick the Kimbara boss."

"Nishinomaru is a dirty fellow, and we're going to kill him as punishment. Please understand this."

Yes, sir.

I don't want to be impertinent, but why don't we wait till the clock strikes 12?

What!?

Here's the 2,000 yen Jiro gambled.

Please check to see if it's all there.

Certainly.

Lady of the Red Peony, I've certainly received the money.

But it doesn't mean that everything's written off.

The "crime of abduction" still remains.

Crime of abduction?

Besides...

...you aren't supposed to have arrived in Nagoya.

You shouldn't have arrived to be exact.

Oh, I've already met the welcoming committee you sent.

If you'd run away with the money, it would've saved trouble for both of us.

It reads, "Chivalry is everything." Aren't you ashamed?

Why don't you remove this sign?

Oryu...

Boss Nishinomaru...

Kimbara, this house isn't in the middle of a plain.

What?

I've heard from Kanezo more or less of the whole story.

Rather than arguing now, why don't you tell me straight what you want.

Boss...

You mustn't. Please let me take care of this.

Oryu, I appreciate your kindness, but I have my pride as a gambler.

Since I know what happened, I cannot leave the things as they are.

I must take care of them.

Kimbara, what are your terms?

All right.

I'll tell you straight then.

Let's settle the problem with a game since we're gamblers.

All right.

I'll repeat.

If I win, I'll take care of the big gambling party at the Atsuta Shrine.

If not, I'll forget it.

About the couple, too?

Someone shall play for me.

All right.

It's the same with me.

Oryu. Play for me.

Come in.

I'm Yasuji lgarashi.

He's called the god of gambling.

Just one game.

Please...

Hold it.

Cheating at such an important game! - Cheating?

Don't talk silly!

It's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Got any proof?

Here's the proof.

Who are you?

Keep out of this, punk!

Long time no see, Mr. Sugiyama.

Kumatora.

Bro...

Oryu...

It's been a long time.

Everybody, forgive me for breaking in like this.

I'll skip formalities.

I'm Torakichi Kumazawa, a boss in Shikoku.

Oryu...

Let me take care of this trouble.

May I, gentlemen?

If you have any objection, step forward!

It hurts!

Help me!

Put up with it. You're a man, right?

Trying to swap the card for the trick one!

Stupid!

A card with two faces! What kid stuff!

And you tried to frame my Oryu.

I would kill you for that.

Mr. Igarashi, I want to talk to you later.

To me?

Stop it.

Stop it!

Mr. Sugiyama...

You win today.

Will you go quietly?

No, I won't.

Maybe it's all right with you, but it isn't with me.

If I hadn't found out your trick, my Oryu might have lost her finger.

Or even her life.

How are you going to make up for it?

Wait, Kumatora.

Will you forgive them for my sake?

All right.

But, Kimbara...

...if the boss hadn't said that, I'd have killed you.

Remember that.

Instead, Kimbara...

...you mustn't cause any trouble after this.

What?

Otoki?

Just as I thought!

She's been killed.

She's been killed?

Who do you think did it?

It was Kimbara's men.

And the child?

Wasn't she with a blind little girl named Okimi?

I'd like to know what happened to Okimi, too.

Mr. Igarashi...

I had to play the game as a guest of Kimbara.

Your name is Oryu, isn't it?

I took Okimi to a doctor.

One called Nabeshima.

They say he's a very good eye doctor.

Mr. Hanaoka...

On behalf of Otoki, I thank you.

I heard her operation is tomorrow.

Then, excuse me.

Wait... wait...

Here's your umbrella.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Hanaoka...

You saved us today... - wait, Oryu...

Just a while ago is the first time we've met.

We had never met before then.

Tomorrow I'm going back to my hometown in wakasa.

Then, excuse me.

Mr. Hanaoka...

The boss wants to see you.

Yes.

Please...

Thank you for your hospitality.

I was just going to leave.

What is it?

We have a job for you.

Stay here til the evening.

What's going on?

There's someone we want you to get rid of.

About the blind girl, I saved your face.

When you said you'd lost sight of Yaeko, I believed you, too.

You've got to save my face this time.

Kill Nishinomaru.

You're a yakuza.

You can't say no.

Mr. Hanaoka...

Didn't you leave yet?

Is the operation over?

Yes.

Then...

Will her eyes get well?

I'm sure they will.

I believe so, too.

After her eyes get well, she'll start school in the spring.

So I bought this for her.

Maybe it was too soon?

Mr. Hanaoka...

Snowing again.

Excuse me.

Take the umbrella.

No. I don't mind the snow.

You use it.

But...

Oryu...

The snow is so beautiful.

But, in my hometown, wakasa...

...we're snowed in and spend all day in dark houses.

You're going back there...

...and will you live there for good?

No.

My mother died after crying all the time about my becoming a yakuza.

This year marks the third anniversary of her death.

I meant to visit her grave and at least offer an incense stick.

But...

But?

Excuse me.

Are you Boss Nishinomaru?

Yes.

What is it?

I'm a guest statying with the Kimbara Family.

My name is Shogo Hanaoka.

I had to come to ask you favor.

I have no grudge against you.

But it is my duty to take your life.

I want to ask you to fight a duel with me.

Please, take out your sword.

Hey!

Be quiet.

Why should we let you have your way?

Why you?

Stop it, Kanezo.

Sword! - Boss!

Damn you!

He's a very polite man.

Don't be rude to him. - But, Boss!

Leave us alone.

I'm Boss Nishinomaru.

I cannot just let you kill me.

Let's not hold any grudges against each other after this.

Thank you.

Then...

I'm ready.

Boss!

Wait.

This is a man's fight.

You... Mr. Hanaoka?

You tried not to give me a fatal wound, didn't you?

Nonsense!

I did my best.

Excuse me.

Boss!

Boss!

Kimbara...

Damn!

Everybody!

Don't do anything reckless.

Boss!

Remember it was a fair fight.

All right?

Yes.

Boss...

Who did this to you?

Who did?

Their guest named Shogo Hanaoka.

Hanaoka...

Shogo?

Don't try to get back at him.

He had to do his duty as a yakuza.

Bro... Bro!

Bro!

Bro!

Bro...

He went alone to avenge the boss.

Do we still have to put up with them?

Let's attack the Kimbara Family.

Let us go!

All right.

Get ready.

Yes. - Idiot!

Don't do anything reckless.

Can't you all follow what I say?

But they killed poor Kanezo.

Quiet!

If you cause trouble now...

...what do you think will happen to the big gambling party this family has been managing?

I'll let you get back at the Kimbara Family after the gambling party is over.

Kumataro...

Yes.

Take me to Kanezo.

What a reckless fool!

Boss...

Oryu...

He didn't obey me. He had it coming to him.

But to me...

...every one of my men is...

...every one of them is...

...my treasures.

Boss...

I wonder if Nishinomaru will come.

I don't think he will.

They say he just pulled through.

So, if he moves now...

Thank you for waiting, ladies and gentlemen.

I thank every one of you for coming all this way.

I, Teijiro Sugiyama, the 6th head of the Nishinomaru family, express my sincere gratitude.

I feel greatly honored to take care of the gambling party...

...held for the repair of the shrine.

I hope you'll enjoy yourselves as much as you want.

I'm going to act as Nishinomaru's assistant in the party.

I'm Taka Goto from Osaka.

Unusually, we had much trouble over the party this year.

I'm glad we can hold it today.

It owes to your cooperation...

...and to Mr. Sugiyama's backbone as a genuine gambler...

...and to his men's efforts.

Please enjoy yourselves.

My name is Fujimatsu Takana. I'm working for Torakichi Kumasaka in Shikoku.

As my boss can't come for some reason, he's sent me.

Congratulations about this big party.

As usual, I've brought "sake," his congratulatory gift to you.

Please accept it.

Thank you.

Shall we drink it according to our custom?

Young men, uncork the barrels.

Yes.

It's been a long time.

I'm glad to see you again.

You look great.

Why didn't Tora come?

He caught a cold.

Isn't that unlike him?

Even though he had a high fever, he insisted on coming.

But we finally talked him out of it.

But, how's the condition of the Nishinomaru boss?

Let's have it.

Nice!

Nishinomaru, you should lie down at least.

No.

It'll be rude to our guests who have come a long way.

As stubborn as ever!

Why don't you tell us you'll let Jiro marry Yaeko?

No, I won't.

They've caused everyone so much trouble.

But, Taka...

...will you look after them?

Stubborn!

Until we dedicate the money to the Atsuta Shrine...

...the gambling party isn't over.

Game.

Okay. It's ready.

Game.

Nishinomaru. - Boss...

Boss...

Please come with me, Ms Oryu.

Game.

She's all right now, but she must keep quiet.

Okimi.

Who are you?

I'm your auntie.

Auntie!

You could tell...

You can see, can't you?

You're pretty, Antie.

Thank you.

I'm happy.

I really am.

Your mom must have been watching over you.

I'm sure of it.

Was my mom pretty? Was she pretty like you?

No...

Your mom was much much prettier than me.

Will you not go anywhere?

Will you stay with me forever?

Okimi...

I have nothing to worry about now that you have your sight back.

From now on...

...you study many things...

...and when you grow up...

...you'll be a pretty, healthy and soft-hearted bride.

Bride?

That's right.

You'll be a bride.

Boss!

Bro... - Bro!

Pull yourself together.

Pull yourself together!

Pull yourself together.

It isn't a serious wound.

Forgive me, Boss.

Those cowardly Kimbara guys...

...took the profits of the party to be dedicated to the Atsuta Shrine.

They took...

Dirty!

To steal the money!

How dirty they are!

They're here?

Yaeko.

Come and offer incense sticks to the deceased father of the man you love.

I can't stand it any longer.

I've been patient because Boss told me to be so.

But my blood was boiling.

I'll kill Kimbara today to avenge Boss and brother.

Wait.

Don't stop us.

I won't.

First...

...let's stay with Nishinomaru for the night at least.

We'll fight after that.

I'll go with you.

I, Taka of Okamura, am ready to do anything to help you.

Boss Taka...

Sit down, everybody.

For tonight...

...all of you bid goodbye to Nishinomaru.

Father...

After all...

...l'm your son.

Oryu...

No, you shouldn't.

I'm a man, too.

Let me go.

Jiro...

Do they teach you to settle things by swords in the university?

Let me go.

Jiro, a man like you mustn't carry a sword.

Do you think your father wants you to fight?

What you must do is just concentrate on your studies.

It'll be the only way to please him.

You didn't risk your life that time to fight them, did you?

You're the only one who can make Yaeko happy.

Jiro...

Jiro...

I'm going with you.

Fujimatsu... - wait.

It's no use trying to stop me.

If I let you go alone and I go back to Shikoku, the boss will never forgive me.

Let's go.

I pretend to be strong

But a girl is a girl, after all

Red Peonies sway with my black hair

I think of him regretfully...

When I look up at the stars

Oryu is here.

Mr. Kimbara...

I've come to take your life.

I'm Fujimatsu from Kumatora Family in Shikoku.

I'll help Miss Oryu. - Welcome.

Mr. Hanaoka.

Oryu.

Stay with me.

Hanaoka.

Doublecrosser!

I can't stand your dirtiness to even steal money!

Look out!

Mr. Igarashi...

Mr. Igarashi, Okimi can see now.

Take care of her.

Mr. Igarashi!

Mr. Hanaoka...

Why did you help us?

Oryu...

You may laugh at me.

But the warmth of your hands when we met by the river and you gave me the umbrella...

Maybe because it was the same...

...as that of my mother.

Mr. Hanaoka...

Oryu...

Let me settle these things by turning myself in to the police.

No.

I'll go alone.

When spring comes...

...flower petals will come fluttering through windows again.

Take care.
