Dairoku! What's wrong?

You have a high fever!

Dairoku!

I drank the water and...

You drank the water?

You can't be so weak as to get sick from the water...

You'd better shape up. Dairoku!

I'm in pain!

We caught cholera...

Cholera?

DISGUISES AND POISON (Kamen to Dokuyaku)

It's awful here, too.

Your neighborhood, too?

This entire area is filled with sick people.

Dairoku has a high fever, too.

Dairoku?!

Hovv pathetic.

Is it cholera, after all?

It's your job to figure that out.

That's true.

There's something that bothers me though...

What?

I savv some suspicious characters...

They were doing something by the well.

They moved very fast.

Then I heard a scream from the other side.

Thieves!

Epidemic and thieves?

Chief, this isn't an ordinary epidemic.

What do you mean?

It bothered me, so I checked the vvater in the well immediately.

When this "baikin" (dangerous germ) enters the body,

it causes higher fever, decay, then eventual death.

It's a poisonous germ? - Yes.

I think it's from the "kirikabine" plant that grows only

by the falls in Nachi, Kumano.

Kirikabine plant?

If that is true, then...

Judging by the method...

The Uragumano group is behind it.

Uragumano?

The Uragumano group is a different sect from the

ascetic mountain monks of Kumano, and is a group

of assassins known as the Kumano heresy

Uragumano group...

Which means, the Kishu clan is behind this.

If it's the Uragumano that we are dealing with...

they'll do much more than bring chaos to Edo.

Are we their...?

Chief...

Thanks for waiting!

Where's the customer?

This isn't the place to take a nap...

If she's the customer, what can I say?

Be sure to collect from her later. - Yes, I will.

Madam, I'm going to start the massage.

Don't touch me like that, all of a sudden.

Where do you want me to massage?

My entire body is hot.

I can feel throbbing pains around my hips and chest.

Is this where the pain is stemming from?

Han-ko, you've lost weight.

There's only one customer out in the front now.

Do we open for business?

One?

With the cholera going around, what do you expect?

And we heated the bath water already!

Oh, great... Why did the people stop coming?

There's a rumor going around that you have cholera.

Why would I have it?

Doesn't your body feel hot?

Yes, it does.

Don't you feel throbbing pains around your hips and chest?

I always get those symptoms with Han-ko.

It's nothing new.

So you are the cause of the cholera.

Stop talking nonsense and open shop.

Han-ko...

Shall I send the customer away so that we can leisurely bathe together?

Let's do that!

Okimi, close shop!

I already opened shop...

Just close it and send the customer away.

She has business with Han-san.

Welcome.

It's that woman again...

The recent epidemic...

The serial pillaging...

If we don't do anything, there'll be panic in Edo.

Since we don't know the cause of the epidemic...

We must at least stop the pillagers from appearing.

I'm counting on you, Hanzo.

They are the Uragumano group sent by the Kishu clan.

Lord Kishu is behind this?

What does that mean?

That they are not only after us, the lga ninja.

You are also a target.

Are the numerous people being sacrificed for us?

To stop them, we will have to stake our lives on it.

Please be prepared, too.

Chief! - Stay out of this!

You've improved a lot.

Chief, did you know it was us?

Of course.

You're Saburoji!

U ne! - lnokichi/

I thought you were both in l\/lino.

Every time we heard about your feats in Edo,

we would get e> want a piece of the action.

We wanted to test our fronted skills in Edo.

That is why we came here.

Chief, please let us work for you!

Please!

No! Absolutely not!

Chief...

Go straight back to l\/lino.

Is that clear?

Chief!

Life in Edo isn't as easy as you think.

We are always face to face with death.

It's for your own good...

Go back to l\/lino.

Inokichi! I am an lga man.

I know those things, even without being reminded.

I am prepared to die, too!

A ninja is a person, yet not a person.

We are not allowed to fall in love.

The chief knows that you two are lovers.

That is why he told you two to return to l\/lino.

You should know hovv we struggled in life.

During the warring era, the ninja supported the

Tokugawa in the shadows and front lines.

But in times of peace, they were deemed useless

and were massacred by the shogunate government.

My mom, who was chased out of our home village...

wandered about, and ended up in Nagasaki tovvn.

And I was conceived with a Dutchman she met there.

Red hair! - Blue eyes!

Monster!

Saburoji... Une...

We went through many ordeals in life...

A ninja is born with a fi>

One generation... No children needed.

As lnokichi said...

We are naive.

We wanted to get out of the mountains of Ivlino,

so we came to Edo.

I can't deny that.

Saburoji...

Une, please forget about me.

Saburoji!

I'll forget about you, too!

No! I can't give you up!

No!

Stupid!

Saburoji...

Fool...

Didn't we vow to work under the chief in Edo?

I want to live here as a ninja.

I want to become a fine ninja like lnokichi.

I'll give up on you...

I'll forget about you!

Uhe!

Saburoji!

SHADOW WARRIORS III

We don't worship Buddha or fear God...

All we believe in is our own strength.

Do you think you can beat the lga ninja with such skills?!

I don't like it.

Why aren't the lga ninja taking action?

Why'?!

I'm sure they vvill, soon.

I accepted the job from Lord Kishu for 30,000 ryo to kill

Lady Senshu-ni, Tarao Hanzo, and his lga group.

Wherever they are, l'll find them and kill them.

Is that clear? - Yes!

He should be up and well in a few days.

Please e>

Sensei, thank you.

E> There's someone in pain.

Please come with us.

Sure.

Please follow us.

That's lnokichi.

This is the place.

Please come inside.

Thank you for coming a lone way. - It's all right.

You must be an lga ninja.

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending!

The "hiramegusa" herb in the medicine is used by the lga ninja!

Hiramegusa? You must be joking!

I haven't used such a thing.

Stop pretending. We've already checked on you.

I'm glad you're fine, Dairoku.

My prayers musfve worked.

No, it was lnokichi's medicine that made me well.

Stupid.

By the way, lnokichi is late.

Saburoji! - Une/

lnokichi is captured by a group of men!

Please go right away!

What? Where is he?

L'll lead the way. - Wait!

Why didn't you go back to Ivlino?

Chief...

I'm asking you why you didn't go back.

Chief!

Go back to l\/lino and get married.

No!

We vowed to live as ninja!

If we don't, I'll feel sorry for Saburoji!

We trained hard so that we can work under you in Edo!

Telling us to go back to lvlino, is like telling us to die!

Une...

Chief...

It's probably the Uragumano group that has lnokichi.

They are formidable foes.

You could lose your life.

That is the fate of a ninja.

Fools...

lnokichi!

Hang in there!

Where's the chief?

Saburoji went to get him.

The chief is sure taking long, isn't he?

Chief?

Whose voice was that?

Inokichi's.

Is something wrong?

Nothing...

Chief!

Inokichi.

Yes.

Are they the Uragumano group, after all?

Yes, I'm positive of it.

They were referring to you as Tenpenmaru.

Tenpenmaru?

He's getting the faces of your lga comrades now.

After that, it'll be a cinch to get rid of all of you.

Everyone is late. What's going on?

Inokichi, who do you mean by everyone?

This is the entire group.

Chiefm? - Stop joking around.

ls there anyone else in our group?

Inokichi, tell me.

You're not lnokichi.

Chief...

When I heard his voice outside, it bothered me.

When we went to save him, they gave us an imposter.

Damn!

Talk.

Where's lnokichi?

Talk!

He's been trained well.

Chief!

Chief, now that their spy is dead...

They will definitely kill lnokichi, too.

Once they find out, they will kill lnokichi.

He's not dead.

What?

Someone will pretend to be lnokichi?

That's right.

Someone will definitely contact him.

I get the picture.

And we'll get to them instead.

Toramaro, I want you to disguise yourself as him.

I want to get to their power by all means.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Sensei, thank you.

I'm glad I could help. Please take care.

Let me give you a special medicine for emergency.

Don't we wish to earn a merit, too?

Saburoji!

Well, Neko? Did you find out anything?

I sure did. - The chief is waiting.

All right, Neko.

What's wrong? You're acting strange.

We're being followed. Didn't you notice?

I'll Kill them!

Wait!

We should let the chief know first! - But they'll find out our hideout!

We can easily give them the slip!

Uhe!

Saburoji!

Une...

The chief is in the main hall. The real lhokichi is in there.

What about you?

If they managed to follow us, I'll kill them both.

Neko, hovv did it go?

I'll report to the chief later.

We were followed. - What?

Inokichi.

Tora!

What a sight!

Saburoji and Une are in danger. - What?

Don't move!

So you left there without Saburoji and Une?

We're ashamed of it, but...

There was nothing we could do then.

I was about to be unmasked, so I used them to cover up.

That is why they got caught.

Chief, let's save those two immediately.

Let's go!

Wait!

Chief?

Chief!

They will have a new trap set for us with those hostages.

If we act now, we'll only fall into their trap.

Chief...

Saburoji...

Une...

Please forgive me.

He unmasked Neko in his master disguise...

Tarao Hanzo is far greater than the rumors.

But it is the powerful that will win in the end.

The powerful will win without fail,

and the weak ones will lose.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Uhe!

Stop it!

If you want to save her,

tell us where your hideout is!

Saburoji!

Don't tell them!

Uhe!

Uhe!

Saburoji...

Let's run away.

Let one get away.

To lead us to their hideout.

Let's go.

Go!

Saburoji!

Don't mind me and go!

SHADOW WARRIORS III

What do you want with me? I work here...

I'm the stoker for the bathhouse!

You must have the wrong man! You're hurting me!

They got the chief.

Who is he?

I've never seen him before.

The female ninja that died musfve wanted to see or

relay a message to someone at that Tsuru-no-yu bathhouse.

You are the only man that works there.

But we have a lot of male customers.

Stop the pretense!

Let's make that clear now.

Tell me who this guy is!

I don't know him! - You don't?

Is that right?

I don't know him!

I'll make you want to talk.

Stop it! I really don't know him!

I don't know him, too!

Tell us who that is.

I don't know him! I really don't!

I don't know him!

Please let him go. I really don't know him.

Please let him go!

I don't know him...

I really don't...

I don't know him...

Darn... He bit his tongue.

We know he's your comrade.

Chief!

An lga ninja named Tarao Hanzo is here.

What? Tarao Hanzo?

Saburoji...

That damn stoker!

I get it now.

He was Tarao Hanzo, after all.

Tarao Hanzo will come for sure...

To die.

The shadow warriors are here, as you wish.

So you've come, Hanzo!

My body is iron...

My mind is empty...

Evil shall be destroyed.

Fools...

You should've stayed in l\/lino.

This is what happens for coming to Edo.

What fools...

Saburoji... Une...

The ne>

don't be born as ninja.
