[Buddhist Sutras]

Get ready!

You finally came, huh?

NINJA KILLER: THE SECRET NINJA

Father! Father!

Remember this.

In the Nittoryu, one can't be defeated with just one sword. [Two-sword fighting style]

For no…

for no reason should you throw it away.

Father! Father!

Excuse me.

Are you Miss Sayuri, of the Ono Nittoryu style?

- So what? - We have a favor to ask.

We heard a rumor.

That you kill people

if it's for money.

- Find someone else! - We beg you!

You are the only one we can trust!

Here's the money!

We want you to avenge our father!

- Your father? - That's right.

Today at the hour of the horse, in the Rassho forest. [Between 11:00 a.m. and 1 p.m.]

CHALLENGE LETTER - This is the challenge letter! - We beg you!

It's too late. He's scared.

Genkichi Kumashiro, get ready, we will avenge our father!

Will you really do it?

There's no other choice.

What is it?

Come get me!

Kill me!

Why don't you kill me?

Life should not be wasted.

I will avenge my father!

Resentment doesn't do people…

or the world any good.

I return this to you.

In your current state,

you will not be able to kill that man.

Who are you?

Look, you get angry right away.

"The sword

is like the flow of water.

The heart

is like a spotless mirror.

If you tune your ear, you will hear the voice of the heart."

Didn't your teacher, Gensai Ono…

teach you this after all?

How do you know that?

Your sword is too straightforward.

Do you not wish

to become stronger?

If that's what you seek…

follow me.

Wait.

What a waste…

that you engage in stealing.

Will you allow your skills to go to waste?

Welcome!

Cheer up!

Push her, push her!

Push her!

Beat her!

With a harite, she will be sent out of Edo. [Hit to the opponent in sumo]

She will confuse him with her feminine charms.

- Do you want to bet? - You love this, don't you?

Come on, look at each other.

You'd better go home now.

You will.

What?

Get ready and… go!

Let's go!

Keep going!

It's time for you to stop acting.

Enough!

Well done!

Ouch!

Do you not…

want to eat delicious things daily until you are full?

Do you not want…

to try something bigger?

It's still wrong.

Your hearts are still not one.

Sayuri.

Shugiku.

Oka.

Alright, do it again.

That hurt.

Move, you are too slow.

Rather, you are bad.

I can't see a samurai,

but you are very arrogant!

Don't show off, you are just a peasant.

Swordsmanship is the same no matter whose daughter you are!

Alright.

On guard!

Yes! I accept the challenge!

This is interesting.

Help me, please!

Help me, please. I beg you.

Help me.

Many women are suffering in the world.

These women receive no help anywhere else…

and come here as a last resort.

I believe that helping those women…

and granting their fervent wishes…

is my mission.

This woman was probably…

also going to be sold in the capital.

There must be more women in the same circumstances.

Can the three of you…

save these women?

I will.

So will I,

I will do it.

No, I will definitely do it.

But I don't want to do it alongside them.

I will do it by myself.

Thank you, girls.

That is exactly what I was expecting.

- Shugiku. - Huh?

Three arrows are better than one.

Three people are better than one.

In time,

you will surely come to understand

what I'm saying.

Come on.

Go and punish those men already.

- Yes. - Yes.

What's wrong with you?

Come on, stop complaining!

Why are you crying?

- Walk, you wretches! - Come on!

Move already!

Move!

Don't stop!

Hey, you! Walk properly!

I beg you!

My father and son are sick!

And if I'm not… if I'm not there!

Be quiet.

You will never see your family again.

Come on, let's go!

Hurry!

I beg you! I beg you!

Ah, shut up!

You won't understand unless you feel pain, right?

And who are you?

Run away!

- Thank you very much. - Run fast.

Kill them!

Get ready.

Listen.

If I find out that you are

selling women again…

I will not forgive you.

Leave.

Wait!

Why are you stopping me?

Our objective

is not to kill people senselessly.

It's to punish them.

I don't want you giving me orders!

Don't you understand?

That's right, I don't understand.

What?

Do you want to fight?

They are at it again.

[Buddhist Sutras]

Mr. Kurofuji.

What is it?

Gonzo has returned.

Gonzo!

Did those three women take you down?

It's just that…

they are too strong.

Gonzo.

Lift your head.

Stick out your tongue.

A little more.

Yoichi, don't take your eyes off him.

Y… yes!

Girls, you did a great job.

What comes next…

What's next?

Mrs. Shien, is there more?

That was just a test.

What comes next

is our real mission.

Mission?

Well, it doesn't matter, I, the great Shugiku, will defeat them.

Your next opponent

is incredibly powerful.

However,

you must undoubtedly defeat him.

Your lives…

are also not guaranteed.

What is his name?

Hanbe Kurofuji.

He acts with voracity for his own interests

and conspires to overthrow the shogunate.

He kidnapped the villagers one by one

and forced them into slave labor.

He has been killing…

one after another the rebels and the weak,

only to then take new victims.

Where is that guy?

I heard he has his base in a mine on Mount Kinjozan,

but that's nothing more than a rumor.

Mount Kinjozan?

Our mission is…

to locate Kurofuji

and thwart his plans.

To that end…

I gathered all three of you

and trained you.

My darlings.

For the sake of the world

and the people,

rise now and

fulfill your destiny.

Come on,

off you go.

I feel like someone has been following us.

Me too.

We shouldn't kill unless necessary.

You are always like this.

You are boring.

The thrill of a sword fight is irresistible.

I hate it.

Wow. I won't argue with you.

As I thought, the Gensai style.

And you are quite skilled.

Tell us your name!

Shinigami. [God of Death]

Shinigami?

I feel like I will see you again somewhere.

And when that happens…

Mr. Kurofuji.

What is it?

Shien finally…

sent us assassins.

Those three women?

Indeed.

Damn Shien.

Interesting.

Wretch!

You are a thief!

Give me back my money!

If you don't want to die, take us to where Kurofuji is.

Come on, come on.

Walk properly.

Is it really this way?

Do you really want to go to where Kurofuji is?

Of course.

- You won't come out of this alive. - Shut up and walk!

Watch out!

You are not that great.

I'm sorry,

but I, the Red Spider Osaki, won't let you take another step.

What? So arrogant!

Die!

If you move, your head will fly off.

Shugiku!

Step aside.

Where do you think you are looking?

Soon the head and torso of this woman will say goodbye.

Are you okay?

Get them!

I won't forgive this.

Who…

were those?

Are you okay?

Yes, it's not that serious.

Don't act tough.

What? You are like that too, aren't you?

I just let my guard down.

That is proof of your inexperience.

What?

- I won't spare you. - Do you want to fight?

Hey, you two, calm down already.

Damn! You slippery deer!

Why are you so vulgar?

Sorry for being vulgar.

What's wrong about it?

I wasn't raised in a samurai family like you.

My late mother

always told me

not to let myself be defeated by men and to live like them.

One time,

I abandoned my femininity.

That's why

I forgot how a woman behaves.

Did you have a nightmare?

You wouldn't care.

You are so stubborn, Sayuri.

I too…

used to suffer

from many nightmares.

Many times

I had the same nightmare.

I would wake up startled at night.

But lately…

I haven't had any.

I feel like your swords…

carry something.

You even have a deathly look.

Listen.

All humans live

with the weight of a past we want to erase.

Since I

am the daughter of a prostitute…

I don't even know who my father is.

When I was a child…

while my mother attended to a man…

I always

waited quietly and hungry

by a nearby river.

This was often the case.

Still…

she was for me…

my one…

and beloved mother.

However…

at thirteen…

my mother…

was murdered by bandits.

I cried.

I shed the tears of a whole lifetime.

Since then,

I sold my body…

stole money from others' pockets…

and survived as best I could.

But

if Mrs. Shien hadn't rescued me,

I might be

dead and lying in the street now.

Shugiku is like that too.

Her village was attacked.

She was the only girl who survived…

and barely made it.

She was alone and without…

anyone to trust.

That's why…

she gets so restless.

Well,

I'm going to sleep now.

And what is this?

Get up.

I'm telling you to get up!

Forgive me, please.

Damn it! Work!

- Get up. - Are you okay?

Move.

I said, move!

- Work! - You are going to kill him!

Idiot!

Hey, you, you ate a big one a while ago, didn't you?

I caught them, so it's obvious I should do it.

- Give it to me! - What are you doing?

Hey!

What is it?

This guy…

Help… help me.

You are…

Genkichi Kumashiro.

"Kill me.

Why don't you kill me?

Life should not be wasted."

That thing about you being a master swordsman…

It's because you defeated Sayuri.

And your sword…

from that time?

I abandoned the sword.

Now I am a simple coin smith.

That's why Kurofuji set his sights on you and took you to Mount Kinjozan, right?

And how did you manage to escape?

I was desperate.

Genkichi!

I found you.

You have fallen low, Genkichi,

to the point of asking…

three women for help.

Who are you?

Thank you for treating me kindly.

Are you from the Red Spider gang?

I will take you to hell.

Kill them!

Yes!

Get ready!

Do you think you can kill me

with such a poor technique?

Did you plan this?

You completely fell into my trap.

Come get me!

Oka, your feet!

Damn girl!

Oka.

Are you alright?

Where are Shugiku and Oka?

I am here!

That wouldn't send me to hell.

Oh, it hurts.

And Oka?

Well, she's not here.

Not here?

I searched around, but I couldn't find her.

Don't tell me that…

Watch out!

There's something written.

What is it?

Can't you read or what?

"The woman is in our hands.

If you don't come tomorrow at the hour of the rooster, [Between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.]

she will die.

Kurofuji."

Damn Kurofuji.

Let's go, until that hour.

Quickly, to be on time.

Genkichi.

Please take us there.

It's not just about Oka's life.

As long as we don't defeat Kurofuji, soon everyone will die.

It's for the good of the world.

I ask you.

Take us there.

I don't blame him.

It's like asking him to return to hell, even though he barely escaped.

Genkichi.

Have you forgotten the heart of the sword?

I abandoned the sword.

And you think that's alright?

Weaklings, babies, the elderly, and women,

they will all be killed.

Innocent people will be killed one after another!

And yet you will not take us?

- Then I will kill you! - Sayuri!

My happiness…

they also destroyed it.

Even though I lived happily…

even though I lived so happily.

People…

are weak on their own.

But…

if they join forces…

Alright.

I will take you.

However…

there are conditions.

What are they?

I will only take you to the entrance of the mine.

Alright.

Good.

Let's spend this night at the great rock ahead.

If we get up at dawn,

we will reach the top at the hour of the ox. [Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.]

Genkichi…

thank you!

Well,

if it's already decided, let's go.

I will fill you with blows slowly,

until you die.

Shinigami,

how about you do the same, huh?

I'm not interested in that.

Gosh!

You are a boring guy.

Look.

You can already see hell!

What a great show!

It's like watching the petals…

from a beautiful flower fall.

How fun.

Go to hell.

Which of the two of us will…

be the one to go to hell?

Don't let your guard down.

Alright!

Do you know why

you lost that time?

I lacked experience.

No,

it wasn't that.

It's because I felt

that your technique was the same as mine.

The same as yours?

To be frank, my sword master

was Gensai Ono.

That's why I perceived your movements

as if they were in my hand.

Then,

why don't you use Nittoryu?

Master Gensai saw that I had no talent

for the Nittoryu style,

so he recommended Ittoryu. [One-sword combat style]

Thanks to that, I mastered the sword.

Why

did you give up the sword?

I put down the sword

right after I fought you.

The sisters came many times to kill me,

but I felt less and less like fighting.

So I hid in the countryside

and started minting gold coins.

I wanted to cut the karma of this bloodbath.

Bloodbath?

My mother was taken to her death…

by the father of those sisters, Ittosai Kikuma.

I lost my father and lived with my mother.

She was a…

kind and beautiful mother.

But

the father of those sisters…

Ittosai Kikuma, played with my mother and forced her to die.

As a samurai's wife…

my mother

honorably committed suicide.

From that moment on, I swore to take revenge.

I would defeat Ittosai Kikuma.

I wanted to become strong.

And at last, the moment

to put an end to Ittosai Kikuma arrived.

But that time…

That time?

That guy was playing with his little girls.

Honestly, I was confused.

If I killed him…

the sisters would meet the same fate as me.

But my desire for revenge could no longer be calmed.

And then I killed him.

Since then, I was pursued

by those seeking revenge.

Revenge only brings more revenge

and the slaughter continues until one dies.

It's a hell of cruel and senseless killing.

But in the end,

those sisters understood what I felt.

And then, Onatsu…

the youngest sister accepted to marry me.

Soon you will be able to return.

So live happily.

Thank you.

That sakura tree is fine.

Soon.

Soon I will give you the blood you desire.

Once more time.

Why do I have to dance…

to become stronger with the sword?

What you need right now…

is a heart as clear as a mirror.

A beautiful heart,

without malice.

You are dancing to earn

that heart.

I don't understand it.

The time will come when you understand.

Come on,

one more time.

Don't cry, Sayuri!

You will inherit the Ono style!

You must not cry like a woman!

Lady Shien.

I think it's bad for your body

that you haven't eaten for three days

and spend all your time praying.

Hakuen.

- Make preparations for the dance. - Huh?

I want to dance.

Y… yes.

As you command.

Don't die.

You must…

return alive.

That's the mine.

Let's go.

Thank you.

It's over there.

That is the Kurofuji stronghold.

We have finally arrived.

Genkichi,

truly, thank you.

We will take care of the rest.

That and…

take this.

What is this?

A keepsake from my father.

If by chance…

I can't return…

carry it with you forever.

My body longs to fight.

Well, Shugiku.

Let's go.

Wait.

I will go too.

But…

Thanks to you

I feel alive after such a long time.

Well,

please use this.

Let's go!

What the heck are you doing!

To her!

Your skills have not diminished.

It seems so, right?

At the back there is a torture area.

Come on, let's go.

This is bad. Hurry!

Oka!

You took a while.

I was tired of waiting.

Well, well,

- does "the Pinwheel" welcome us? - Stop joking!

This is the entrance to hell.

You are still naive.

Genkichi,

you did well.

Good job bringing these girls.

I congratulate you.

Genkichi.

What does it mean?

Onatsu is fine, right? Let her go!

Hey.

Genkichi!

Onatsu.

It's a deal.

- Let her go. - Yes.

Onatsu.

I'm so glad…

to see you before I die.

Darling.

Onatsu.

Onatsu!

Needless to say, she won't be back.

How evil…

can you be?

The four of you will go to hell.

To them!

Rest assured

that hell awaits you.

This is the best.

Oka, hold on.

Oka!

Kill them!

Genkichi!

Genkichi, hold on.

Sayuri, let me handle this.

You help Oka!

Genkichi, hold on!

You will get to the beach…

if you go that way…

and he will be in the cave at the back.

Don't die!

Don't die.

Did you not promise

that you would be happy?

Thank you.

Thanks to this…

I can die without bringing shame…

to the way of the sword.

Genkichi.

Who are you!

Today is a good day.

I didn't think I would see you again.

You are Shinigami.

But…

today will be a fateful day for one of us.

You finally came, huh?

Kurofuji,

get ready!

Bah! Damn girl.

Listen, Sayuri.

If something happens to me…

you will take

this sword.

Did you hear?

That sword?

It's the famous Shirai.

A keepsake from your father.

Impossible…

You killed

my father!

Sayuri, get out of the way.

Father! Father!

If you feel anger,

come to take revenge.

Father! Father!

Listen, Sayuri.

Remember this well.

In the Nittoryu, one can't be defeated with just one sword.

For no…

for no reason should you throw it away.

Father! Father!

Your father's sense of justice was too strong.

I wish he had…

joined our plans.

I will not forgive you.

For avenging my father…

for avenging the villagers…

there's no way I can forgive you.

Kurofuji…

get ready!

Someone who can't see

is just like a baby.

I will indulge you a lot.

Let's see…

what would you like?

Your ear?

Your nose?

"What you really need right now…

is a heart as clear as a mirror.

A beautiful heart,

without evil."

"The sword

is like the flow of water.

The heart

is like a spotless mirror.

- If you sharpen your hearing, - If you sharpen your hearing,

- you will hear the voice of the heart." - you will hear the voice of the heart.

What are you murmuring?

A prayer to entrust yourself to Buddha?

I can hear…

his footsteps.

His breathing.

The sound of his heart.

Die just like…

your father.

I sense it.

I sense his movements as if he were in my hand.

Sayuri!

Are you okay, Sayuri?

Wretches.

Damn girls!
