The Way of the Warrior Soul
W H I R L W I N D

The last day of
the Summer Battle in Osaka.

Yukimura Sanada's army
made several attempts to...

...counterattack Ieyasu
Tokugawa and finally fell.

The sad news of Sanada's death
in battle spread all over Osaka.

Upon victory, Tokugawa's army
advanced into the castle...

...and it was a matter of time...

...before the invincible Osaka
Castle would finally fall.

Sanada's army has lost their battle.

Ohno's army is being uprooted, too.

Guess this is it for us.

Shuri, look at them!

Yeah, that's great accomplishment.

I suppose they're someone with names.

They'd have earned me no less than
5,000-koku if we were on the winning side.

Now they aren't even worth 3 cents.

- What's going on with the battle?
- Nothing for a while.

That cicada is screaming like
there's no worries in the world.

It doesn't feel like
we're at war, does it?

I can't breathe.

Hey, let's eat something.

- You can't fight on an empty stomach.
- Are you still going to fight?

Yeah!

Now that the castle is falling,
my rice turned out good for the first time.

Are you making us eat
before we commit harakiri?

Whoever put a skillful soldier like
me in the cook's position is at fault.

I'm asking you if you're
making us eat before harakiri.

I don't care whether you're
cutting open your stomach or not!

It's you who's doing it.
I'm just a cook!

Move it or you'll miss
your chance to run away.

What are you gonna do?

Hey, are you gonna come or not?

Even a hardy castle crumbles.

We humans are such small beings,
aren't we?

I don't mind going down
with that big castle.

Are you in your right mind?

Do you think anybody's in
their right mind right now?

But it's a crazy idea to go down with the
castle that you don't owe anything at all to.

Kyunosuke, aren't you romantic!

You can live off of dreams.

I only think of surviving.

What good does thinking of dying do?

It's a life to die in history, too.

We're all going to expire sometime.
I'll end my life in this place.

So, you aren't leaving, are you?

My mind's made up.

I gave my best in the battle.

It was a short life but I've
done things I enjoyed, too.

I feel fine to think it was
my destiny to join the losing side.

You're not the type
who's ready to die.

Go ahead and run away
without me if you want.

Go ahead.

Hey!

Are you plotting to run away?
What cowards!

If you're a warrior of any kind, why don't
you raid the enemy's camp and die bravely?

I don't wanna die.

Jubei...

How about you?

I've decided to commit harakiri.

Aaghh, what cowards!

Is harakiri cowardly?

If you're ready to die,
come with me!

Jubei, there's no future
once you're dead.

Run away with me.

I don't want to either fight or die!

I'll go with harakiri.

You bastards!

So, are you or are you
not going to do it?

You're pretty rotten, aren't you?

If we stay around the castle,
we'll just end up being executed.

And you want me to help
you betray our enemy?

Betrayal or switching sides doesn't
matter when it comes to survival.

This could possibly lead us
to making it big.

I guess I could if it saves my life.
So, what do you want me to do?

Set the Thousand-Mat Hall on fire.

Sister!

Kozato... Get away now!

Don't hate me.

Now I have no regrets.

Are you still dilly-dallying?

It's you who's dilly-dallying.

I'm looking for a spot
with a view to kill myself on.

This is the most important
event of my life, you know.

That's a nice one.

I won't feel free to run away until I see
you commit harakiri with my own eyes.

Hey, hurry up!

Hurry up!

Rogues! Arrest them!

Fire! Put out the flame!

Manta, run!

Fire! Fire!

The Thousand-Mat Hall is on fire now.

Hey, you'd better hurry
up or it won't be safe.

Then, I guess I'll do it around here.

Sir Nonomura!

Oh, Kozato.

Young Lord!

I'm not going to make it.

I'll leave him in your care.

In Ishiyama, O'omi there's a house of
a man named Rokuza'emon Yamada.

Take him there.

It's the hometown of Young
Lord Kunimatsu's nanny.

Yes. I promise you
I'll take him there.

If worst comes to worst,
kill him and yourself.

Never let him fall
into the enemy's hand.

I swear it on my life.

Prince!

Nonomura! Kozato!

Intruder!

Intruders!

Intruders! Stop them!

Damn! A ninja trick!

I failed.

What, a woman?

How dare you killed my father!

Remember the Iga people never give up.
I'm going to get you some day.

I presume you're on our side,
and I have a favor to ask of you.

Please take us to Ohmi.

Hey, wait a minute.
- Please!

If you served in this castle,
you can't turn me down.

Who are you? And the child?

This is Lord Kunimatsu.

Young Lord!

Jubei, it looks like you won't be able to
commit harakiri any more, doesn't it?

Kyunosuke, don't slow down!

Hold on. We've made it this far;
there's no need to hurry.

Money will be talking
for us from here on.

C'mon, move it!

What was he thinking carrying so much
money when he was planning to die?

Idiot.

There they are!

Run!

Mr. Kusanagi!

Aren't you Mr. Shuri?

What a pitiful sight.

It's me, Kikusato! Mr. Shuri!

Mr. Shuri!

It's someone from the castle!
- Alright, catch them!

It's a woman.

Leave the man, he's half-dead.
- Come on, now!

Jubei, I'll take my leave here.

Take this, it'll help.

Thanks.

I didn't work for it.

Thank the guy who died.

I'm relieved 'cause you didn't die.

Live long, alright?

Damn!
I swear I'll kill myself one day!

For what? You'll never find a good place
to die like that one again.

I'm sorry.

Next time we meet,
I'll have a different look.

How long are they gonna make us wait?

They said they'd spare our lives.

I hope they aren't gonna
trick us and kill us, are they?

Don't fret.

I've prepared alternate ways
to deal with them..

Put on a confident front.

These are passports that allow
you travel through provinces.

You're given special consideration
for your faithful request.

We're not going to punish you as
surviving soldiers of the Osaka side.

You're free to apply for positions
of the daimyo lord in any province.

Accept our decision with gratitude.

So you're saying this is your reward
for the two of us.

You have any complaints?

A big one.

You little villains.
- What do you mean by that?

We set the Hall on fire...

and created chaos at the castle base,
gaining you advantage.

We're the ones responsible
for your victory, so to speak.

We didn't expect
to be treated like criminals.

Your army couldn't even have
advanced inside the second moat...

...if we hadn't set the base on fire.

Shut up!

You're degenerates
who betrayed your own...

...simply because
you didn't want to die.

You don't deserve
to be called a samurai.

If you don't like our decision, we'll do
as you like and behead you as criminals.

Wait! Wait! Hold up!

You beheading us
won't be the end of it.

I didn't expect you Eastern folks didn't
know who to reward and who to punish.

There are a few tens of thousands of
Toyotomi loyalists who fled the castle...

...and they'll gather power
and attack you.

The era of Toyotomi's rule
will return. Wait and see!

He's quite a fool.

He unashamedly claims
Lord Hideyori is still alive.

He says Lord Hideyori didn't kill himself?

He's just a crazy man
who makes things up.

Interesting.

Mataza'emon,
don't kill that little villain.

Give him money and use him.

Listen, if you find any enemy soldier
who survived, don't let them escape.

Whoever captures them
will be rewarded.

Yes, sir.

Well, I think going to his
nanny's hometown is dangerous.

I'd leave him at a temple somewhere and
wait for things to calm down, if I were you.

No, I can't do that.

He's not like anybody else.
He's important.

I'm saying this because he's important.

I was ordered to bring him there
at any cost.

Weren't you ordered not
to let the enemy take him?

As a bodyguard, I don't need
to be so involved, really.

Anyway, let's wait for the nightfall.
It's not safe to travel in the daytime.

Nanny!

Young master!

Glad to see you're safe.

Thanks for coming all the way out here...

But you should leave right
now or you'll be in trouble.

What?

This house is surrounded
by a thousand officials.

Please go right now.
Go! Right now!

I told you.

Run!

Run!

Capture Lord Kunimatsu!

Wait!

Capture the ones who accompanied him!

Don't let them go!

Find them!

Let go of me!
- Where are you gonna go?

I must go.
I must save young Lord.

Do you think you can?

Mind your own business.
I'll lose face if I don't.

We lost him simply because we fell
into their trap. It wasn't your fault.

No, I just have to...

You don't get it, do you?

You idiot!

So you want to find young lord but
where on earth are you gonna look?

What can a fragile woman possibly do?

I was ordered not to let
the enemy take him away.

But they did.

I was ordered to kill him and
myself if anything happened.

I'm going to kill myself!

Hey!

Wait, what will you accomplish
by killing yourself?

I'll kill myself as an apology.

To whom and for what?

The castle's burnt down.

I need to apologize
to my own heart.

That's an admirable practice.

But what about me? I missed my chance
to die because you asked me to help you.

I gave up the ideal location to die at.

And you said you need to
apologize to your own heart.

I see I was nobody
from the beginning.

I was just a cheap hire, I didn't
mean anything to you, now, do I?

If you want to be selfish enough to end
your life without saying thank you to me...

...you can go ahead
and kill yourself.

Hey! Don't you get it already?

You're a handful, princess.

Don't make any noise.

Keep quiet.

I just want you to make me
some rice balls.

And...

Woman, take your clothes off.
I'll pay for them.

This is worth at least 20 ryo
even for give-away.

It might have been before the war,
but it's no good any more.

How much, then?

Don't be stupid! It's a work
by Kanefusa of Seki!

Haven't you heard about the order
by the Town Governor?

What about the Town Governor?

They want us to inform them of any
customer who turns in swords and knives.

We aren't gonna do it,
though, you know.

Would you say it's a deal for 3 ryo?

Deal. In exchange, let me use a
small space of your storefront.

Come on and take a look!

What on earth are you doing?

It's a bargain!

Look here, take any of these...

That's unreasonable!

I gave you a 20 ryo sword
for 3 ryo. Any problem?

C'mon and take these!
It's a bargain. It's a steal.

See, I'll sell you anything you want.

Let's go, it's a bargain!

What do you say, anyone
want to buy this, too?

I beg you.

Please let me do as I wish.

I give up.

But even if you get to Kyoto, it's not
going to be easy taking back young lord.

Well, take care.

And you?

I'll think of what I'm gonna do.

Now that the war's over,
my mind's become kind of empty...

...and I've lost my vision
of the future.

Please take care.

Thank you.

Excuse me...

I forgot to ask your name.

I'm Kozato.

Ms Kozato...

That's a nice name.

I'm Jubei Fukami.

I guess there's no point
in remembering.

Then...

Who are you?

Hands! Get the hands!

Finally I've got you.

You!

I told you the Iga people won't give up.

Daijiro, pull the rope tight.

You haven't forgotten that
you killed my father, have you?

That was an incident during a war.

It's always war for the Iga people.

Then why don't you have
a fair duel with me?

Two against one, and having me tied up,
too, and then taking revenge?

It's cowardly.

Ninja always ensure their own
safety before they attack.

Woman!

Watch how this man's gonna die.

Listen...

I'm gonna throw these
into your face and chest.

You seem to be Osaka side's survivors.

Who the hell are you?
Why did you interfere with the Igas?

Interfere?
Were you planning to die?

I'd missed my chance to kill myself.

I wouldn't have minded
being killed for revenge.

You treat life so lightly.

Fool!

Did I get you upset?

Though the war is over, you never
know what can still happen.

Be careful not to be swept up in a big
tornado and lose sight of your own path.

To begin with,
don't let the lady travel alone.

It's also a samurai's duty
to keep women safe.

Hey.

Are you lucky or unlucky?

Which one are you?

I'm unlucky.

There's no use being
in this world, is there?

Cross over!

He kills you if you say
you're unlucky.

Kills you if you say
you're lucky, too.

Either way, it's the end of
your life if you run into him.

Osaka is famous for street killers,
and women of the night, right?

What an ugly world it's become!

Tens of thousands were
killed in the war, you know.

The hatred alone can prevent
the world from being good.

Hey, old man, bring me another.

Another?

You got money on you?

I'm going to earn some now.

Hey, what'd you say?
You wanna play?

Let go of me! No!

No isn't an answer.

How long are you planning
to stay in a place like this?

You said you have an aunt or
something that you know in Kyoto.

Please leave me be.
I'm working here because I want to.

And what about you,
a samurai turned horse dealer?

How long are you planning
to be in a place like this?

I'm doing this because I like to.

Leave me alone.

You shouldn't be here or you'll end
up being raped by horse dealers.

You could ruin your life.

Please...

Leave you be?

Alright.

As of this moment of this day, I'll never
ever get involved in your affairs.

So in exchange,
don't you ever...

Hey! It's you, Fukami.

Hey!

My comrades from the castle told me
about a secret gathering.

They seem to have a plan.

Then, we should be able to find out
whether young lord is safe or not.

Looks like I'm stuck with you again.

There's a good reason why Lord
Hideyori escaped to Satsuma Province.

How old do you think Ieyasu
Tokugawa is this year?

72 or 73 if I remember correctly.

He's going to die before long.

That's when we'll take the world
back from Tokugawa's rule, he says.

My lord will raise
an army in Satsuma.

We the survivors will rise in various
places throughout the country.

We don't need to win.

If the chaos lasts for one month...

...beginning with Kato and Fukushima, Mohri
and other the daimyo will side with us...

...and the power structure
will be altered.

Announcement, Kunimatsu Toyotomi,
the first son of Hideyori Toyotomi...

...will be marched through the street
and executed on the Roku-jo river bank.

Let's go! Next one is this piece.

As you can see,
this isn't your everyday find.

To tell you a secret...

...this is something a lady who had to
escape from the castle on the day it fell...

...unwillingly to let go of it.

If you're a man, you should give
your wife something this nice once...

Have you seen the notice
by the Town Governor?

Are they giving rewards for information
on the remnants or something?

What a pity, Lord Kunimatsu
is going to be executed.

I see.

So he was captured after all.

He's the one and only grandchild
the late Great Lord Hideyoshi had.

We must take him back
by any means necessary.

Will you help us?

I'm a merchant. Spare me.

If you have a little heart as an Osaka
side's survivor, you can't say that.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

You were a cook so I don't know what
fancy captured you to dress like that.

But before you ask others for
a little heart, think of yourself.

How rude, to Master!
- Master?

You've seen me only from that time.

I'd listen if it's a money-making proposal,
but I can't waste my time with this story.

Sorry.

We've told you an important secret.
Don't think you can leave without paying.

Stop it, Kujuro.

I shall talk money with you then.

What a pity, it's one thing if they were
to exile the infantile Lord Kunimatsu.

It's demonic of them to execute him!

What do you all think of this?

On top of that, to do that
in front of the commoners.

The Tokugawa's intention is to impress
the world that they hold the power.

If that's the case, then if we the survivors
take back young lord from them...

the Toyotomis can impress
upon the world our power.

Not only that...

It can lead to shorter the lives of
Ieyasu Tokugawa and Shogun Hidetada.

Even if we saved him from them...

Are we prepared to raise him
for many years to come?

Of course, we'll get the rest of
the comrades to take care of that.

We need all of you who gathered
here to abandon your lives.

I'll give you three more days.

If each of you can find three more
comrades in the next three days...

...we'll have an army of
over 100 men in total.

Then, you who honed your skills
on the battlefield...

...will surely succeed
in achieving our goal.

Then...

I expect at least 50 to 60
of them there on the day.

All dressed as pilgrims, mountain
warriors and commoners...

They'll be waiting in formation at the
entrance to the Roku-jo river bank.

And at the blow of the horns, the
mountain warriors are supposed to attack.

What you should do is to line up Buddhist
chanting drums across from them...

...and hide an army with
guns and spears behind.

When the mountain warriors blow
their horns, the army can attack.

You shouldn't!

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

Daijiro, give it to me.

Are you sure she's here?

This is a nunnery
and temple for the pure.

Impure officials are
not allowed to enter.

I don't mean to argue but we saw you
took the woman in with our own eyes.

The woman is a Toyotomi remnant.
And she's not just a remnant.

She's a member of the terrible group that
attempted to steal Kunimatsu Toyotomi...

...who's scheduled
to be executed today.

Protecting her will get you
into big trouble.

The girl is indeed in this temple.

But she came here asking to become
a nun so I can't let you take her away.

I'm sure you know you can't arrest anyone
who's becoming a servant of Buddha.

I see. We can't arrest anyone
who's becoming a nun.

But I hope you're telling the truth?

Certainly.

Don't even think of lying
and letting her escape.

I'll have my soldiers tightly
guard all around the temple. Go!

Kozato.

Auntie.

Looks like you've gone through a lot.

Every time there's a war, women
are the ones to be broken-hearted.

15 years ago, when the battle
of Sekigahara was over...

I was 19.

I was just like you and ran
to this temple for shelter.

I had to give up ever knowing the joy
of being a wife and mother.

That money isn't a reward
for your accomplishment.

It's seed money for reinstating
the Toyotomi's power.

Continue to gather the remnants
hiding in Kyoto and Osaka.

We've done such a job
and you still can't trust us?

Stop it, Kujuro. The supervisor
is an understanding man.

Shut up and accept it.

Hey, Mr. Samurai.

Are you lucky or unlucky?

Don't know.

Do you think there's happiness for a
woman who stands in the street at night?

Lucky or unlucky?

Woman, answer.

Kikusato!

Can one say I'm lucky
to be doing what I do?

The same thing with you.

Kikusato, you...

But we're both alive, so we
can't say we're unlucky, can we?

Don't be stupid!

Looking like this.

Are you sad?

I am.

To be seen like this by you.

What's the difference between a skinny
murderous ronin and a lady of the night?

For me, the days gone by are
a dream gone up in smoke.

So I'll do anything I can to survive.

You wanna come? To my cabin?

A human makes a nest like
the rat in a tight situation.

He needs to hide his dirty body.

This is my cabin.
My pimps are inside.

They make me work while they just
drink and gamble. Lazy maggots.

Who's that?

Oh, it's you.

You got some money to give me?

C'mon, cough it up!

Who are you?

Damn it!

He's an old acquaintance.

We're going to talk alone.
You guys get out.

C'mon, get out!

Damn it!

Stop it if you don't wanna die.

Did you take care of them?

Close the door and come over here.

You've changed since
you were in the castle.

Kikusato has died.

In the battle of May 8.
She died along with the castle.

This woman here is a nameless stranger.

Come on, hold me.

Do whatever you want to do to me.

Why are you still alive?

Kikusato of Osaka Castle
was nothing like this.

All the young samurai's fantasized
about you, including myself.

When I, a son of a ronin, came to
work at the castle and I saw you...

...it was just like the fairy tale where
a fisherman meets a beautiful princess.

I aspired to be promoted to a rank high
enough to marry a woman like you.

Otherwise, I thought, I might
as well die in a battle.

So I fought hard in battles
always trying to stay ahead!

Whenever you returned
from a battle...

I was happy to see you
even if we had lost.

But on the day the castle fell...

A man whose name I don't
even know stole my virginity...

...and he died in front of my eyes.

Since then, I've decided to
curse all the men in the world.

I wanted to sleep with different men,
to put them down and laugh at them.

Sister, you haven't finished him off yet?

I will when I want to.
Where could he possibly go like that?

You'd better finish him or
you'll begin to feel sorry for him.

Sis, you're already feeling sorry,
aren't you?

You can't kill him any more...
isn't that right?

Shut up. You're just a brat.

If you can't kill him,
I'll do it for you.

Wait.

We can't be bothered with him
for so long. Let go of me!

What are you doing?
Can't you take my order?

Daijiro. I'll tell you the truth.

I want to have a baby by him.

As I suspected.

Our mother did the same thing.

The men of Iga are all trained
to become infertile...

...so she had to get the seeds
from traveling strangers.

Both you and I were born that way.

But he's our father's enemy.

Are you planning to have
a baby with the enemy?

I've fallen in love with him.

Why?

Forgive me.

Just on a whim!

Women are all tramps!

It's for the good of
the Tsuge family.

Sister, have his baby.

I wish I could say that.
But I can't!

What are you going to do?

I'll kill him.
- Don't.

Sis! Sis!

Please promise me that
you'll see me again, once more.

Why are you saying that?

I'm in love with you.

If you promise to see me again,
I'll save your life.

Run quickly.

Promise you'll see me again.

Damn!

Sis!

Sis!

I heard some 20 Toyotomi survivors
were arrested again yesterday.

They said the officials raided
the diner where they gathered.

Hey...

Wanna play with me?

What are you doing?

Aren't you looking for a woman?

Yes, I was looking for a woman.

Is that so?

But the one I'm looking for is
not like you. She's more like...

Sorry, forgive me.

Are you lucky or unlucky?

You get back!

You're the street killer,
aren't you?

Wait! Wait!

You want me to spare you?
I can't do that.

I wanted to hear your voice.

'Cause it sounds familiar.
Don't you recognize my voice?

No.

Even if I do,
I've forgotten my past.

Wait, aren't you Shuri?

Shuri Kusanagi?

So you are alive... You said
you were going to die fighting.

I fought well.

I fought to the end and I still
couldn't have my wish to die.

You said you were going to commit
harakiri, so what are you doing?

The same here.
My wish wasn't granted.

Alright, then let me.

Wait a minute!
Why do you want to kill people?

'Cause I hate people!

Both good or bad?

Enough!

You're really a weak minded man.

A strong person would kill the ones he
hates, but you kill the good ones, too.

You kill whoever you don't like.

That's because your mind is weak.

Shut the hell up!

You're the only one I failed to kill.

I swear to kill you someday!

You told him a good thing.
Thanks.

You said you were looking
for a woman, didn't you?

Her name is Kozato.

She's from Osaka Castle.

If you come across someone by that name,
tell her Jubei was looking for her.

Mr. Jubei!

If you want to find her,
go visit Ryugen Temple in Kyoto.

She might be there.

Ryugen Temple?

She has an aunt who's a nun there.

Who on earth are you?

Do I really have to become a nun?

It's a cruel thing but otherwise
your life will be in danger.

Auntie, there's a man I love.

I can't become a nun.

Are you two engaged?

No.

But I am in my heart.

Kozato, are you going to leave
here and jump into the storm?

Yes.

I want to live as a woman.

Even if you end up losing your life.

Yes.

You don't necessarily
have to die young.

You're safe.

I am now but I'm still
wanted for a reward.

So I'm still wearing this outfit.

Who's this?

I'm the man who was supposed
to marry your aunt.

Kamon Akashi.

We've both walked on thorny paths.

I suppose the Toyotomis are going
to be killed off in the current war.

Killed off?

Will the Tokugawas rule the world?

The world doesn't care whether
it's Toyotomi or Tokugawa.

As long as they can live
happily without any war.

That's the way people think today.

I agree with them.

You, a lord who sacrificed
everything...

...your own castle,
your parents and siblings?

I've been enlightened to the
fact nothing stays the same.

Kozato, is your name, right?

Yes.

What happened to the young man?

Go into town and find him.

Don't let the love
of your life go, like we did.

But if she goes outside, she'd be
arrested as a Toyotomi remnant.

Her life is in danger.

She can protect her own life.

I'll help her escape
from this temple.

Kozato.

Live as a woman.

Do what I couldn't do.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?
Go after her!

Are you going to let a big fish here
escape and chase one woman instead?

What, a big fish?

That's right.

I'm Kamon-no-kami Akashi, a sruvivor
of the Winter Battle in Osaka.

You'll gain points if you catch me.

What? Akashi? Arrest him!

I've got you now.

You tricked my sister.

I'm gonna kill you!

You're too late. Mr. Jubei,
please find Kozato at once.

I didn't know she thought
of me so much.

Please make her happy. Please.

You have no decency.

Where's the woman?

She's sleeping, exhausted.

I picked her up in town last night.
She's kinda cute.

Is it safe to invite someone
we don't know in here?

She's a professional.
Money will fix it.

You didn't come home
last night, either.

Kujuro, come and sit here.

Don't call me by my first name
so casually.

Who made you up to be the big master.
Be a little grateful.

You made me into the leader because you
know you aren't capable of doing the job.

I'm going to grow bigger.
You're going to grow smaller.

Stop it!

What are you trying to say?

Our lives are in danger now.

Don't be stupid.

Mataza'emon gave us a big chunk of
500 ryo just a few days ago, didn't he?

He must be gaining points
by using us.

Why would we be in danger?

This is why you're small.

Your mind's gone senile, too.

Shut up! Osaka Castle cook!

Is that all you have to say?

You would've stayed with
your low position forever.

It's my clever mind that's
made you who you are now.

You're just a puppet
I've created, so to speak.

What if the puppet is plotting
to do something outrageous?

Hidden monies were found in
the ashes of Osaka Castle...

28,000 gold coins
and 24,000 silver ones.

8,000 of the gold ones are scheduled
to be transferred to Edo...

...disguised as a cargo of barley.

You can't be thinking...

We'll steal the gold.

Can we really do that?

We'll gather the Toyotomi remnants
and attack them on the road.

Kujuro, are you in?

If we fail,
they won't let us live this time.

They're thinking of firing us anyway.

We'll outwit them and snatch the 8,000
coins and run off to Luson or Macao.

What do you say, Kujuro?

We're better off doing that
than to remain a tool...

...of the Town Governor
and eventually get killed.

What's that face?
Are you scared?

8,000 gold coins, huh?

We'll tell everyone we're doing it
to help reinstate Toyotomi rule.

Your job is to collect
a bunch of able men.

Have we lost her?
- Yeah.

That was a woman named Kikusato
who used to work in the castle.

You'd brought home
an unwanted guest.

I don't think she can't run far
with that deep wound anyway.

She's gonna die somewhere
around here.

Just find her.

Kikusato!

What happened to you, Kikusato?

Who did this to you?

Kikusato, don't die!

Please don't die on me, Kikusato.

Kikusato, you're my life.

Please don't die. Don't die.

I'm happy.

For me, who's been dirtied...

So happy.

What did you get yourself into?
Tell me.

It's not important.

Ah, how happy I was to see you.

I wish I could've seen
my sister Kozato again, too.

Kikusato...

If it isn't Mr. Kusanagi.

I'm Kujuro Washio.

You know, I was in the same camp
with you when Osaka Castle fell.

Don't come near me!

Even if you're an old acquaintance,
I might end up killing you.

I actually came to buy
that skill of yours.

What?

Wouldn't it be more fun
to kill a bunch of people...

...rather than to kill one of
two small timers like me?

There's a job that allows you to...

...kill as many people as you want
in the name of a righteous cause.

Would you be interested?

I'm not interested in just
or righteous causes.

I might be available if I can kill
to my heart's content.

All I want to do right now is to kill.

Alright, the next is this gourd!
Make a bid!

Children aren't welcome.

Make a bid! How much? How much?

Hey, old man.

Don't get so rowdy.
You'd interfere with my business.

Well, well, I'm sorry.

Welcome.

You seem to be doing very well.

You look like you're doing well, too.

After so many of our
comrades have been killed.

To reinstate our family in power,
a small sacrifice is to be expected.

A small sacrifice, is it?

Kyunosuke would you know
where Jubei Fukami might be?

No, I don't.

We're in desperate need for
skillful men for the next job.

So you're planning to sacrifice
many lives again, are you?

Watch your mouth.
It won't serve you.

If you're just trying to locate
Jubei's whereabouts...

...it wouldn't have been necessary
for both of you to come, would it?

The truth is...

What do you want from me
who's now a merchant?

We want you to arrange
for arms such as guns.

We won't take no for an answer.

Let's make a business deal.

I won't do it for free.

I'd consider it only if you're
paying in cash, in advance.

We're trying to reinstate the
Toyotomis in power here.

You have the nerve
to want a business deal.

I'm a merchant, not samurai.

So I'm not taking sides either
with Toyotomi or Tokugawa.

I won't help anyone if
I can't make any business.

Alright.

Then, I'll have the goods
packed up in two or three days.

You must have the money ready.

Pay me 700 ryo first. Remember,
I won't sell to you for one penny less.

700 ryo!?

It's a risk for me to do this.
Forget it if you don't want to pay.

Put down the cargo here for now.

For some time now I've had my eyes on
that secluded house to use as our base.

No one would know we're there.

Hello.

You two like to stay together
all the time, don't you?

I wish you could make
this place your home.

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm not gonna do any harm to you.

So just act normal.

Do you think Sir Jubei Fukami
is really going to come here?

Of course, he will. As soon as he finds
out you're here, he's gonna fly over here.

Then you're going to kill him,
aren't you?

Kill him?

You're using me as
a bait to draw him.

You really love him, don't you?

Yes.

I see.

I'm not surprised.
Anyone could fall in love with that man.

Please, don't kill him.

Are you prepared to put your life
at risk to get his love? I am.

I do.

Really.

Then let's see who wins his heart.

I love him, too.

Oh, Miss Kozato.

How fortunate to find you.

What on earth are you doing?

Kill them.

Why did you kill innocent people?

I had no choice. It's for
reinstating the family's power.

Our comrades will arrive here in about three
or four days. Get some rest until then.

Hey, bring in the cargo.

I told you. You're mistaken.

A mistake? You're kidding.

I remember your face well.
Get him!

Damn, it makes me upset to know you want
to fight with me out of some trivial grudge.

I accept the challenge.
Come at me, all at once.

What? Get him!

Hold up, hold up, you folks!

I understand your upset,
but hold up now.

Who the hell are you?

I'm intervening.

I don't know how it began,
but if the fight gets too big...

The Town's Governor would hear
about it and punish you all.

He's crazy.

So I get involved with crazy men?

Well, this man's a little off.

Intervention is the thing of fate.

Let me handle him, will you?

You've made me
into a crazy guy now.

Crazy Jakes and mistakes
are commonly found.

Anyway, don't think about
it 'cause it's been settled.

I'm amazed the rogue actually withdrew.

It's money.

Money solves it all.

It's because Osaka Castle fell that rogues
like him roam the streets shamelessly.

The castle might have lost
the war, but the town didn't.

That is, samurai were defeated
but commoners weren't.

Jubei, merchants will have
the power from now on.

I'm going to go up to Osaka and show them
the true spirit of an Osaka merchant.

But I can't be a commoner.

Not with your kind of
fighting skills, I guess.

If that's the case, then you
should live on the sword alone.

You could go to Edo and start a
school of your own fighting style.

If you spend all your time
looking for a woman...

...you'd end up losing sight
of your own path.

Let me give you your travel money.

How did you become so rich
in such a short period of time?

If you work hard,
money produces money.

Well, sometimes I get involved
in risky business, too.

Risky business?

Looks like Manta Muto and Kujuro Washio
are plotting something rotten again.

They want me to get
them guns and arms.

They said it's for the righteous cause of
reinstating the family but I don't buy it.

By the way,
they asked about you, too.

They said they needed able men.

Stay away from danger, alright?

What about the arms?

I gave them what
they wanted, for 700 ryo.

700 ryo?

It's business.

So you help a rotten cause
knowingly for money?

'Cause it's business.

Is that the spirit of the merchant?

You're no different
from a street rogue.

You talk as if you're somebody...

...but you're just an indiscriminate
and opportunistic upstart.

What spirit of the merchant
when you help an evil act?

I don't understand.
I don't, I don't.

Hold on, Jubei.

I've got nothing
to talk to you about.

Wait.

You've told me something more
precious than gold and silver.

Where is it?
Take me there right now.

Jubei, stay away
from worthless risks.

Wait. There's something
I need to tell you.

Tell me later. Where is it?

At the foot of Mt. Suzuka.

Okay.

He's as straight and
honest as a bamboo strip.

LEFT TO SUZUKA GAP

What are you hurrying for?

Running around,
disrespecting life again?

You said it's a samurai's duty to
protect a woman's life, didn't you?

- Has something happened to Kozato, then?
- Her life is in danger.

Wait. Where is she?

Suzuka Gap.

The entourage is climbing the pass.
They'll be there in half an hour.

Now, as we've agreed all along...

...the money we steal will be used
for reinstating Toyotomi power.

I urge you again not to betray your mission,
and be sure to bring all of it back here.

We've done it. C'mon,
don't let the horses run away.

What are you doing?
Let go of me!

I'm going to have 8,000
coins in about half an hour.

If you do as I say, you can
get whatever you want.

No! What about reinstating
Toyotomi power?

I don't care about that.
Do as I say.

Kozato! Kozato!

Wait!

Where's Kozato? Kozato!

Kozato! Kozato!

Tie him up!

Hurry up! Hurry!

Mr. Washio! That's the wrong way!

No, it's this way. Hurry!

I'm sorry but I can't let you live.
I'm going to kill you both.

Which one first?

They're back!

What happened?

He betrayed us.

He tried to run with the money.

Bastard.

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to kill you.

Can you kill me?

Can you really kill the one who
made you up into a big master?

You're a betrayer. No excuses.

Betrayer?

Are you serious?

You're the betrayer yourself.

What?

Listen to me, everybody.

This man is the real traitor.

He lied about reinstating Toyotomi power.

He's the one who schemed to trick you
into stealing the shogun's money for him.

He's a big thief!
- Bastard!

Is it true what Kujuro said?

Did you lie to us about
reinstating the family's power?

If it is, we can't forgive you.

Hey, stop it!

Stop it already, will you?

Reinstating the family's power?

Betrayal?

What a farce!

If you have the time to be
at each other's throat like this...

...why don't you check to see
if the cargo is really gold?

Miss Kozato,
I'm sorry you've gotten into this.

No.

More importantly,
I'm happy to see you.

I'm happy, too.

Even if I had to die here now,
I wouldn't be...

What's the matter?

Have you changed your mind
now that you've seen shiny gold?

What about the betrayal?
Reinstating the family's power?

In any case, we're undoubtedly thieves
who stole shogun's money now.

We're eventually going to be
hanged or burn at the stake.

We're not gonna burn at the stake.

I'm planning to escape
to Luson with the money.

I've arranged for a boat
at Port Sakai.

Everybody, give up your hopes of reinstating
the family's power and follow me!

Everyone, don't let him fool you!

Let's split the money among ourselves and
go our separate ways. What do you say?

Sounds good.
- Wait!

Then we'd be mere thieves.

We wouldn't be able to show our face
around for the rest of our lives...

...plus we'd burn at the
stake if we got caught.

I'll run to Luson.

Bastard.

Finally you're revealing
your true nature as little villains.

What are you going to do?

I'm not attached to the money.

I'm going to a place where I
won't even smell any humans.

Shuri, wait up.

Just save this woman.

I have no desire to help anyone.

Then kill both of us before you go.

Kozato, please be prepared.

Did you say Kozato?

Yes.

Do you know a woman by
the name of Kikusato?

She's my sister.

Is that right.

If we'd won the Summer Battle of Osaka,
Kikusato and I would have been married.

Poor woman.

Is there something the matter
with my sister?

She was killed.

Shuri...

The man who killed Kikusato is here.

What?

It's Kujuro here.

I... I killed her 'cause
I was told to.

Hey, what happened to
a woman named Kozato?

I know she's here.

Kikusato...

This house is surrounded by officials.

Where is Kozato? Kozato!

If you've got guns, shoot back.

The officials are going
to close in on us.

Load the gold on the horses
and escape from the back.

Kill them.

Sir Fukami!

Jubei, wait for me. Don't die!

Sir Jubei...

Stay here, alright?

It's a tornado!

Are we the only three that survived?

The tornado trampled on the good
and the bad, foes and friends.

You somehow survived it.

Hold on to your precious lives.

Jubei, hold her.
