You've become rusty, bro.

I aimed right between his eyes, but I missed a little.

It doesn't bode well.

Don't be cocky! My body's just stiff, that's all.

Stop fooling around. Take it seriously.

We're going after them.

When should we attack?

I have a plan.

We'll go ahead. You go get the spear.

What? Why me?

I know you can easily catch up with us.

Make sure you wipe the blood off.

Good grief. If only I'd been born first.

ONIMUSHA

NIGHTMARE

Why...

are you guys sleeping while walking?

Not sleeping! We're just tired!

How far does this road go? We've been walking for two hours already.

We're not even a fifth of the way to the fort.

Sir Musashi is giving up, man!

I am not giving up!

I just lost my mind a little, that's all.

Even the greatest swordsman of all time can't beat his age, huh?

Sayo, is there a spot where we can rest?

We'll run out of energy soon.

You asked me for the back road.

Well, I had no idea the hill was this steep...

Are you still okay?

I am used to walking in the mountains because of the ascetic training.

There's a field up there.

Then let's have a break there. We can eat there too.

Look, Sir Musashi is back on his feet!

How far is it up there?

About... two more hours.

He's given up again.

Are you all right, Sir Musashi?

Don't... talk... to... me...

Sahei...

How are you not tired?

Because I'm used to walking in the mountains.

It's a great misfortune!

Apparently, samurais are far more weaker than I thought.

We are experienced in martial arts,

but not in something that requires stamina.

Well, after a short break and some food, we should all recover.

I don't have much water left, so I can't prepare any good food though.

I caught this with a rock along the way.

Incredible.

I can now make some decent food.

I don't eat meat.

I thought so.

How reliable.

I feel better now.

We should thank Sayo for that.

You brought me back to life.

Thanks a lot.

If you break down here, I'll be the one in trouble.

This is part of my duty as a leader.

You're our leader? Since when?

Any problems?

Well, she's far more dependable than someone who's afraid of a bridge.

Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of heights.

I just don't like unstable places.

If you oppose me, I'll never feed you rabbit again.

That's not good.

And worms.

No thanks.

Taromaru still has chest pain, so Jiromaru is comforting him.

Jiromaru is such a sweet guy.

Are they brothers?

No, but I raised them to be so.

Do you have any siblings?

Nope.

Then, who taught you how to hunt?

Gonsuke and Daihachi.

My grandparents had bad backs.

And my parents were always working in the mountains.

I had to do it.

They were all taken away by the samurai though...

How are you guys related to the samurai?

He's our sworn brother.

You're brothers?

No, but we were raised to be so.

I never thought we'd have to fight him...

Sir Musashi.

We are out of water.

We should get some water from the river.

Right. Hey, Leader!

The river is...

over there.

It's just down there.

Not far at all.

All right, let's go.

River, huh?

I wonder if I can get some fish.

You just ate.

Will the rabbit's parent hold a grudge against me?

I do not know.

I don't understand anything other than humans.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Is this the river?

Isn't it too shallow?

As long as there's drinking water, I have no complaints.

What's wrong?

This isn't it.

We weren't meant to go this far upstream.

Did we take a wrong turn?

Impossible...

But...

Well. Let's just drink some water and calm down.

Too bad there's no fish, but the water looks clear and tasty.

I feel so much better!

Sir Musashi.

Yeah?

I need to talk to you about yesterday.

Go ahead.

Those villagers...

Were they all manipulated by Iemon?

Possibly.

But fortunately, they're not immortal.

No need to hesitate.

But if we encounter her relatives or friends,

what will you do?

Then I have no choice but to become an Oni.

The shape of the woods is different...

Draw your swords!

Sahei!

You climb the rock and protect her!

Understood.

The rest of you fight back with me!

Do you need the Gauntlet?

As much as I'd like to, my body can't endure it that often.

Not for a while.

As you wish.

There they are!

Here we go!

Get them!

Are you all right?

They deformed the shape of the woods by pulling the trees out.

They rebuilt the road to lure us in!

So, it's not your fault. Don't worry.

Oops!

Damn! It's unstable here!

Stay back.

Taromaru! Jiromaru!

Sayo, over here!

Is everyone all right?

Barely...

Looks like we defeated all the monsters.

Sayo is safe, too.

Heikuro, I've just made up mind.

About what?

About Iemon.

I was uncertain, but I'm determined now.

When I see him--

Goromaru!

Goromaru!

Goromaru!

Jiromaru...

Please help Jiromaru...

Please take care of Taromaru...

Goromaru!

You missed it again.

What the hell are you doing?

It's not my fault, bro.

The hawk interfered.

The hawk made him live three breaths longer.

That's fine.

So far, our plans are going smoothly.

Let our young brother do the rest.

Kaizen, the Gauntlet!

Forget it!

Who the hell are you?

Who are we?

Who do you think we are?

Iemon's henchmen?

Just let go of the girl and show yourself now!

I'm gonna kill you!

Don't be so hasty, Musashi.

We have a lot of catching up to do.

Let's talk as we cross our swords.

Shut up! Just show yourself now!

Are you sure?

Once we show ourselves, you all won't leave here alive.

Taromaru, wait!

You're no match for him.

Now you get it, Musashi?

As expected of you.

If you want the girl back,

come to the temple up the river tomorrow morning.

We'll be waiting for you.

Don't you run away.

It's my fault.

I took my eyes off her for a second.

We were all caught off guard.

It's not just you.

Sir Musashi.

They were talking to you as if they knew you.

Any idea who they are?

No.

But his voice sounded familiar.

They were different from those monsters.

They didn't show themselves, but they seem to have their own will.

They sounded just like Sir Gensai.

In other words, they're the trickiest among Iemon's henchmen.

One of them showed himself when he took her away.

He was as swift as a monkey.

The other two also killed Goromaru with a fatal blow,

and have voices as cold as ice.

Perhaps even with the Gauntlet, Sir Musashi couldn't have defeated them.

We need to make graves for Goromaru and Jiromaru.

So, when are we leaving?

To get there in the morning, we should leave before dawn.

What? Are we going to visit the temple foolishly as told?

Then, what should we do?

It's obvious.

We should keep going.

Our objective is Iemon.

We don't have to respond to their call.

What about that girl?

That's none of my business.

Sir Kaizen, that's too harsh--

Screw you!

Heikuro!

Aren't you a monk?

Are you even human?

I can calculate because I'm human.

If we keep going, she'll be of no use to them.

They will let her go.

You saw what they did!

They killed Goromaru without hesitation.

How can you be so sure?

Heikuro!

Hold it right there.

Fighting with each other will only make you hungry.

Don't waste the rabbit she hunted for us.

Kaizen.

Is it the teaching of Buddha to walk away from someone in trouble?

I am responsible for retrieving the Oni Gauntlet.

I am not going to get involved in anything else.

I understand your desire to seek refuge there.

But you're travelling now.

You won't be punished for worrying about various things.

And that voice...

This is indeed my problem.

Sir Musashi, what are you...

Misfortune...

Someone is going to die again.

None of my business.

Damn...

Are you awake?

Untie me!

I can untie you,

but I'm gonna cut off your legs, so you can't run away.

Is that what you want?

No, I prefer this.

Good girl.

Do you know Musashi?

Yeah.

What do you want from him?

Someone asked us to do a favor for him.

First, I will cut off his arms.

Then, I will cut off his legs.

Finally, I will cut off his tongue.

Once he's smaller and quieter, we'll take him to the client.

This is our plan.

Such violent people.

He's the one who is violent.

What about you?

What's your relationship to him?

You're not his daughter, are you?

I am their leader.

He seemed to have been struggling,

but I never expected a kid like you to be their leader.

He has really fallen from grace.

You guys know Musashi from the old days?

Sure.

We've suffered so much from him.

But it'll be over.

When the sun rises tomorrow,

he'll be done.

Girl, be prepared to die tomorrow morning.
