1887, YOKOHAMA

My apologies, sir.

I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?

Please. Have some mercy.

This is not the place.

Sir.

I don't want you in trouble again.

I'm staying at the inn called Hamaya.

If you get into trouble,

ask for Sugata at the inn.

Sugata.

Much obliged.

Much obliged.

You must be Mr. Sanshiro Sugata of the Shudokan.

I read about you in the newspaper.

You beat Hansuke Murai, master of Isshin-style jujitsu,

at the Police Martial Arts Tournament.

Excuse me. I have to go.

Miss Sayo.

Have you heard from Sanshiro?

No, sir.

Not since my father passed away.

A man like Sanshiro

must feel somehow responsible for his death.

He must be suffering alone.

But, Miss Sayo,

what makes him spacial

is how foolishly honest he is.

He's not shrewd.

He never strays from himself.

He could not live otherwise.

I say this with great sadness.

You don't see that kind of character

in today's youngsters who wear western fashions.

I really appreciate

the way he is, Miss Sayo.

I don't recommend that. It's not an easy path to follow.

Do you mean the path of judo?

Yes.

Even for an expert like yourself?

Even for someone who keeps winning like yourself?

You still face the sadness of life.

Sometimes you don't care for winning.

If you feel that way -

Are you saying I should lose?

Well, yes.

It's not that easy.

It doesn't matter how I feel. I must win.

Forgive me.

I've said too much.

I only wanted to tell you

that you shouldn't take judo lightly.

Besides, I'm not capable of being an instructor.

I, myself, am a pupil.

Excuse me.

This gentleman is here to see you.

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES INTERPRETER YOSHIZO FUBIKI

I heard about how you beat the sailor the other day.

As a fellow countryman, I'm very proud of you.

Speaking of which, an American boxer,

call him a Martial arts expert, if you will.

Anyway, a leading boxer in America

called William Lister is visiting Japan.

He somehow heard about what happened.

He regrets that the sailor,

a good boxer himself, lost the fight to you.

What do you want me to do?

Well, how about a friendship match between Japan and America?

Between yourself as the best judo wrestler

and William Lister as the best boxer.

What do you say?

- How exactly do boxers fight? - Boxers?

This is how boxers fight.

Two fighters put on spacial gloves

and hit each other in the upper body.

Like this.

You may see them bleeding from their eyelids or noses.

Their skin gets torn apart.

There's blood all over. You could even call it tragic.

Americans just love it.

So, it was created for show, then?

I will not fight to entertain people.

Don't be so simplistic -

That's how I am.

There's one jujitsu wrestler willing to do the fight.

That's not my concern.

So you won't do it.

No, I won't.

But at least come see the match.

The American Embassy will soon host a party to introduce boxing to Japan.

I'll send you an invitation.

Thank you for your time.

I feel terrible to have put you in this situation.

I'll bet he wants revenge.

Maybe you shouldn't go to the Embassy - - I will.

Sorry. I want to see what boxing looks like.

It's not much fun when it's a draw or when the judge calls the fight.

The crowd gets excited when one of them gets knocked out.

Where are you going, Mr. Sugata?

- I'm leaving. - What's the matter?

This is disgusting.

The fight between Lister and the jujitsu wrestler is coming up.

- You should stop it. - Stop what?

Don't let them have the fight.

What a silly thing to say.

It's these people here who are silly.

They let men fight like dogs or roosters.

If you take pride in being Japanese, stop him from disgracing himself.

Wait.

Yes?

What is it?

I strongly suggest you don't do this.

Why is that?

In the name of the Japanese martial arts.

I don't think I will lose.

It's not a matter of winning or losing.

What is it then?

Boxing is not about fighting.

For what reason do you fight?

My name is Kahei Sekine of Isshin-style jujitsu. And you are?

I'm Sanshiro Sugata from the Shudokan.

Sugata.

I see.

I will tell you what I fight for.

I fight for money.

Jujitsu has lost its popularity to Judo.

Thanks to you.

THE SHUDOKAN

Master.

It's become hard for me to fight.

I've fought others in various forms of judo.

I always thought I understood

that by defeating my opponents,

I'd be hated by them, their families and their pupils.

I accepted it as a fact of the judo wrestler's life.

But now I realize that I have crushed their lives.

I see it happening right in front of my eyes.

I wish to renounce judo.

Is that all?

Is that all you have learned from your journey of the past two years?

Is that it?

You haven't changed a bit. You're the same as two years ago.

I understand your anguish.

Or I should say

it pains me to see what I've brought upon you.

But I believe...

we have a much greater goal to pursue.

Fighting...

is a path to consolidation.

You shall not find peace in compromise or confusion.

Do not let small obstacles stand in your way.

I have put myself in this fight against jujitsu

believing in the way of judo.

The fight between judo and jujitsu

is not about names.

It's not about what I, Shogoro Yano, have achieved.

It's not about you winning the fight, either.

Or I should say

it's not at all about judo defeating jujitsu.

It's all about the survival of the Japanese martial arts.

Mr. Sugata.

Mr. Sugata.

Have you eaten dinner? - Not yet.

Where will you eat?

I'll have my dinner with you in the kitchen.

Oh, you're just like a young student.

I'd always imagined Sanshiro Sugata would look more fierce.

You know, with a mustache or something.

Seriously, my grandchild is a bit frightened of you.

There's a song about you, you know?

Here comes Sanshiro

Please stop, ma'am.

Well, you don't look scary in person.

You're probably very strong.

But don't get too strong for your own good.

It's been a while since I've seen your famous head-scratching.

Or your unshaven face.

The four kings of the Shudokan are all here.

This is nice.

What is?

It's been a long time.

I've come home.

About your father, I am -

I want to visit his grave.

You're the same as before.

That's what the master said to me.

I don't know what to do.

I can't make up my mind.

It's not good.

A man with no guts can neither make a woman happy

nor can he complete anything in his life.

What is it?

Miss Sayo has made a new kimono for you.

The one you're wearing now is worn out.

It's about time you got a new one.

Accept her generosity.

But -

Just accept it!

We have some visitors.

Who are you, sir?

Tesshin Higaki.

And you, sir?

Genzaburo Higaki.

These are the Higakis. They wish to see our dojo.

Excuse me, you're supposed to bow before stepping into the dojo.

- We don't do that. - How dare you?

Mr. Dan, they have a different set of rules.

But this is our dojo, our rules.

It's all right.

Yujiro Toda, Kohei Tsuzaki,

Yoshimaro Dan and Sanshiro Sugata.

Which one of you is Sanshiro Sugata?

That would be me.

Genzaburo.

Genzaburo.

Genzaburo.

Genzaburo.

Calm down, Genzaburo.

I'm Shogoro Yano.

You are karate masters?

I'm Tesshin Higaki of Higaki-style karate.

He's Genzaburo Higaki.

I apologize for my little brother pulling a plank from your wall.

He's not well.

Is Gennosuke Higaki

a member of your family?

He's our older brother.

He's not strong.

I always thought your brother's style of jujitsu was a bit extreme.

How is that?

He lost to Sugata right there.

But the name of Higaki-style karate will live on.

Have you ever seen karate, Mr. Yano?

My pupils here just saw it.

That was nothing.

It was just a warm-up.

We would like a match against Sugata.

We came here all the way from Kyushu.

- I decline. - Give me a reason.

We're on two different paths.

I do not believe that Higaki-style karate should be considered

as one of the martial arts.

You don't pay respect to the dojo.

You don't pay respect to other men.

That kind of behavior has never been acceptable in the Japanese martial arts.

Listen to Mr. Professor.

How about this, Mr. Yano?

Will you let Sugata fight a match if he accepts?

Nonsense.

Is that a no?

Sugata is one of my pupils.

He and I share the same path.

Here at the Shudokan, all you do is whine.

Genzaburo, we're leaving.

Mr. Yano.

You haven't heard the last of us.

Sugata doesn't seem to mind a match.

He seems to like playing with death.

Sugata.

Are you frustrated?

The man who knows not himself knows nothing.

He's the one who becomes the most extreme.

REGULATIONS

If you fight others without permission, you shall be expelled.

If you partake in any entertainment event, you shall be expelled.

If you disgrace the dojo in any way, by drinking or eating within it,

you shall be expelled.

What's the matter with you?

I can't stand it.

What's wrong?

I can't sleep without this.

How come?

Dan.

Why do I have so many enemies?

Why am I so hated by them? - Because you always win.

Don't feel sorry. That will make you weak.

I don't feel sorry.

I once did, but not anymore.

It's just that - - What?

I feel I should keep fighting without remorse.

You're still thinking about the karate fighters, aren't you?

That's not the only thing on my mind.

What else?

You guys are still awake.

What a beautiful moon tonight.

I was thinking about how to teach judo this evening.

I want to establish concrete instructions for each position and movement.

I'll start working on that tomorrow. I'll need your help.

I want to complete the fifth position and other positions as well.

Also, I want to make sure

that the theory of the throwing technique corresponds to the practice of it.

There are many different foot throwing techniques.

Foot sweep.

Advanced foot sweep.

Knee turn.

Prop and draw ankle throw.

Large outer slice.

Minor outer clip.

Major inner slice.

Hip counter-sweep.

Hip counter-spring. And lift-pull foot sweep.

It's time for me to go to bed. Good night.

You've made your decision?

Yes. I want to learn judo.

Put this on. I'll teach you.

Expect a lot of pain.

How did you like it, Daizaburo. Are you still in?

Yes, I am.

GRADE 7

DAIZABURO SAMONJI

DAIZABURO SAMONJI

GRADE 3

Hello, Mister Rickshawman

How much for the trip to Yanagi Town?

I'll give you the good price of a quarter yen

Give me a discount I'll pay half of that

Sir, are you all right?

Hello?

Mr. Tagawa. Is that you?

It's obvious someone is targeting us.

They asked me if I belonged to the Shudokan -

Damn.

He was a jujitsu wrestler, wasn't he?

No.

How do you feel, Brother?

You always look angry.

Where have you been?

We went to Tokyo for sightseeing. How do we look?

We don't look like villagers, do we?

Genzaburo, Genzaburo.

Don't go out at night. You might have an episode.

DEAR MISS SAYO

Put it down, Genzaburo.

Go home.

Leave me alone.

We won't do that.

Not until we beat Sugata.

Leave me alone. I beg you.

What's wrong with vengeance?

I don't understand you, Brother.

He beat you in a match, and he stole the love of your life.

Don't you hate him? - Shut up.

You don't have to apologize to me.

But tell me who was ambushed.

Mamiya, Rank 2 with a black belt.

Suzuki, Midorikawa and Tagawa, Rank 1.

The junior pupils just gave up

after two or three of them got thrown through the air.

It must be the karate fighters.

I guess karate offensive tactics

are something we judo wrestlers will have to learn to overcome.

Judo can win over karate.

I don't know about that.

Karate guys don't make the first move.

Judo will prevail.

Thank you for the lesson. I will see you tomorrow.

Don't take that street.

Excuse me?

The street where they were attacked.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no. It must be them.

You, Samonji! I told you -

Daizaburo, Daizaburo.

Sugata,

your old trade is paying off now.

Sugata.

Sugata, wait.

Be quiet. He just fell asleep.

Higaki is here.

- Which one of the two? - Neither. It's Gennosuke.

Mr. Sugata.

I was defeated by judo.

After that, I became very ill.

But in return, I was given a good spirit.

You can still do a lot of good.

You can help us advance the Japanese martial arts.

No.

Heaven will forbid me from doing that.

So will the many people I've hurt.

But I loved the way of jujitsu after my own fashion.

I hope my name will remain in the history of Japanese jujitsu.

Of course. Of course it will.

How is Master Yano doing these days?

He's full of energy.

Thank you.

I envy you people.

I want to talk about my brothers.

Both Tesshin and Genzaburo went up to the mountain to train.

They are preparing for a match against you.

They are both my blood brothers.

I can never hate them,

but they are without a righteous path or spirit.

Especially Tesshin. He's a snake in the grass.

Seeing him is like seeing my former self when I'd lost my way.

And Genzaburo.

He's very ill.

He's truly insane.

He's always suffered from seizures.

He always gets very violent moments before a seizure.

Anyway, please avoid any contact with either one of them.

Just ignore them.

I'm not telling you this for their sake.

I'm telling you for your own good -

Or I should say, for the good of the Japanese martial arts.

Thank you.

There goes Sanshiro

Do not bother Sanshiro

Don't get close to him Stay away from him

Don't touch Sanshiro He'll get mad

Here are the secrets of Higaki-style karate technique.

You're the kind of man who must fight.

- I am - - Stop.

Let me say this again.

For the future of the Japanese martial arts,

you're far more important than my own brothers.

Thank you.

Are you leaving?

Yes, I am.

Let me give you a ride.

I've got a rickshaw.

I used to be a rickshaw man.

- Thank you. - It's nothing.

You aren't cold, are you?

I'm fine. Thank you.

Let's pull up the top.

No, don't. I want to see the city.

For this will be my last visit to this place.

There goes Sanshiro

Do not bother Sanshiro

Don't get close to him Stay away from him

Don't touch Sanshiro He'll get mad

Mr. Sugata.

Sorry, but will you pull up the top?

It's getting cold.

What's wrong, Sugata?

"Challenge To A Duel.

On December 15 at dawn,

we challenge you to a duel at Tengu Pass, Bushu Prefecture.

Two of us shall await you.

Tesshin Higaki, Genzaburo Higaki."

Are you going to go?

You'll be expelled.

I have no choice.

I'll break all three rules.

- All three? - Yes.

I already drank in the dojo once.

Besides, I cannot decline a challenge.

Okay, those are two rules. What about the third one?

I'll fight for money.

If you partake in any entertainment event, you shall be expelled.

Thank you for waiting. Here's today's main event.

A match between an American boxer and a Japanese judo wrestler.

Here's the top boxer in America, Mr. William Lister.

175 pounds.

He has proven his strength

by breaking five bricks and bending metal with his bare hands.

He's the strongest man alive.

People call him "Lister the Killer."

He's the greatest boxer on earth.

And the challenger is

the genius judo wrestler of Japan,

whose name I'm not allowed -

It's Sugata. Sanshiro Sugata.

Sanshiro Sugata.

The winner of the match will take home 1,000 yen.

This match will make history.

We've never seen a match this big or controversial in our lives.

Come on.

And now, without further ado,

Iet us move on to the main event.

Do the Yama-arashi!

Mr. Sugata.

Thank you, Mr. Sugata. Thank you.

Mr. Sugata, don't you remember me?

I'm Kahei Sekine. The one who lost to Lister some time ago.

I must apologize to you, Mr. Sugata.

Mr. Sugata.

I said a horrible thing to you. Please forgive me.

SANSHIRO SUGATA

Priest, I left the Shudokan of my own free will.

I took my name plate off the dojo wall.

It sounds like you walked out on them.

That's a bad habit of yours.

No. I didn't want to be expelled by the master.

So I did it myself.

What on earth have you done?

I broke the dojo's rules, fighting a match in a theater.

I thought they would never understand the Japanese way of fighting.

I wondered whether I should let it be or if I should help them understand.

I did it because, at the very least, I wanted to show them what it is.

Is that all?

Sanshiro.

You're not all that smart.

That's why you focus on the fact that you broke the letter of the rules.

The rules are the rules.

You're just being obstinate.

Your spirit has not broken the unwritten rules of judo, has it?

The formalities are supposed to help you start down the path,

but if the path requires, you must break those formalities.

What do you say, Sanshiro?

Why don't you go and put your name plate back up?

I can't.

If and when you think you're ready,

be it today, tomorrow,

10 years or 20 years from now,

go back to the dojo.

I'm sleepy.

Sanshiro, go home.

Let me stay here tonight.

I came here to meditate.

You? Sit and meditate?

Come on. You'll just fall asleep.

That would be great, too. I haven't had decent sleep lately.

Why?

I see my opponent when I close my eyes.

But the match is over.

I'm talking about the next match.

Another one?

They're karate fighters.

I train all day long,

then clean the dojo and its hallways,

water the garden, split firewood and prepare meals.

I keep moving all day...

still I can't sleep.

All right.

I will meditate with you. Go sit.

I'm grateful, Priest.

I'll cook rice for your breakfast tomorrow.

I know just how to do it.

Quiet!

Stop talking.

Concentrate on the man who's bothering you...

until he's gone.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Priest. I've disappointed you.

How long will you be gone?

About a year?

Two years, then?

Three years?

I'm going to fight a duel, so -

No. You will win. I know it.

- But - - You'll win.

I'm certain you'll win.

Will you cry for me?

My horse, the Black Beauty

What I endure tonight

Is not love

There you are.

Are you by yourself?

Genzaburo couldn't come.

- Why is that? - He had a seizure.

You must be happy.

That's a shame.

Well,

I'll make you die a slow, agonizing death by my karate.

Here you go.

You should eat a little to regain your strength.

You don't want to?

How's your temperature?

Oh, you have a high fever. I'll get you a wet towel.

You don't want to eat, either.

I'll just leave it right here.

I'm certain you'll win.

Sorry. That must be cold by now. Let me warm it up.

Do you think you can eat now?

Good. I'll go get some more water.

We lost.

We lost.

THE END
