THE YEAR 1651

In every period, there are groups of youths

that have risen to correct the unjust powers.

However, their boiling blood was ended as...

Yui Shosetsu, the military strategist in Kanda, Edo,

who was supported by the fervent young ronin

that were ousted from the system,

was also plotting against the Tokugawa shogunate.

Are you going to let Sir Shosetsu die?

If we die here, our clan's name will be brought up.

Please bear it for the clan.

Stop!

LULLABY OF DEATH (Shi o Yobu Komoriuta)

Do you have any items to exchange?

SEVEN YEARS LATER Do you have any items to exchange?

SEVEN YEARS LATER

SEVEN YEARS LATER The lid of a useless iron kettle?

The lid of a useless iron kettle?

A tub with no hoops? A pot with holes?

Hovv about exchanging it for a delicious, colored candy?

Mister!

There's still some sakA© inside.

I'll give you three candies for it.

Thank you!

Clear the way!

They're hunting for the Yui Shosetsu remnants.

The fate of those who bared their fangs against the powerful...

is that they will be pursued until they are killed.

But the ones who are caught and killed

are always the lowly followers.

The strong and sly wolves are leisurely sharpening

their fangs at another place.

Hanzo...

Did you know that Chief Councilor Kishu

was behind Shosetsds coup cfetat?

I've heard about it.

But the villainous lord of Kishu

wouldn't have any interest in his noble cause.

He was probably laughing at Shosetsu inside.

He just wanted the pact, signed by the various lords

that were moved by Shosetsds noble cause.

The names on it were Date, lkeda, Hachisuka, Satake...

and probably Shimazu.

If that list surfaces, those clans would be abolished

for committing treason.

The chief councilor has that list in hand now.

Are you telling me to steal that pact?

Will you do it?

He will use that pact as a tool to realize his ambitions,

and create a bloody storm.

And it will be the blood of the lowly followers.

KISHU CLAN'S MAIN RESIDENCE

Where is the pact?

Guarded by Edo Chief Retainer Akama Tonomo.

Can you steal it?

While that pact is in the hands of the Kishu clan,

the Satsuma clan is at the mercy of the lord of Kishu.

I promise to obtain it.

Chief Retainer...

Send their bodies to the Satsuma clan's residence.

Who's there?

The young lord is here.

Yu...

Did someone run in here?

No one did.

Thank you for saving me.

Excuse me...

V\fasn't that lullaby from Ryukyu that you were singing?

Are you from Ryukyu?

No.

I had no luck today.

Welcome home.

Hovv unusual to have a guest...

Thank you for your help. - Wait.

It appears to be dangerous outside.

You should stay here for a bit.

It's all right.

Please join us for dinner.

You waited for me again?

Come inside. - But...

The more, the merrier and tastier. Don't hold back.

What's the matter?

I remembered the times I had tasty meals like this

with both of my parents.

It brought back old memories.

Where are your parents?

They died a long time ago.

I see. I'm sorry for asking.

It's all right.

Thank you for letting me stay here.

Stay longer.

I should be going.

Please let me pass through.

Are you being pursued?

Something like that.

Is the men's bath on this side? - No, come this side.

Sir, what are you doing?

Don't come in with your footwear!

Han-ko! Come here and help!

What are you doing? Don't look!

He's nowhere around.

Let's go!

Hold it! What is this all about?

Maybe they wanted to see the naked women.

Get your hands off of her!

Don't come back!

Who's that?

Was the view too good?

I'm about to faint...

What a Peeping Tom...

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Can I take this?

Go right ahead.

Can I take this, too? - Sure.

You're cleaning the place up for me.

You're something else. - What?

I'm impressed with your hands.

Your fists. You musfve used them a lot.

I have to chop firewood and scour the drain every day.

What was that for?

Fool! Why didn't you dodge it?

You hit me from the back all of a sudden!

What are you thinking of? That really hurt!

Sorry about that. - Does it hurt?

It sure does. - I 'm really sorry!

Thank you for last night.

Thanks to you, we had a very delicious dinner.

Same here. - ls that right?

Will you come again? - Yes.

I'll come again to thank you formally for today.

I'll bring sakA© with me.

Be sure to come now. - Yes, I will.

She would've had a daughter about your age.

See you again!

Thanks.

Please give your wife my regards.

I will. Come over now.

His wife sings a lullaby from Ryukyu.

For a moment, I thought she was Yu's mother.

But Yu's mother is a Ryukyu royalty.

She wouldn't end up as a wife to him.

He's no ordinary man.

Kosaka Jinemon...

He is the best Kuramako swordsman in Kishu.

Why did the Kishu clan release such a man?

Young lord!

Young lord!

According to the e> messenger from home,

the lord will be arriving in three days.

As soon as he arrives,

he plans to lead the lords listed in the pact to Edo castle,

and have the elders consent to your installation as the ne>

The Tokugawa's eight million koku is mine!

Young lord, you will be the fifth shogun.

Those lords are obeying us only because of that pact.

Exactly!

It's just three more days!

Protect the pact with your lives!

Yes, sir!

The security is very tight.

It wasn't like this last night.

It must be because of that e>

They must be Satsuma spies.

I don't like the fact that they are beating us to it.

I heard you are the daughter of a cotton dealer.

I'm from Ivlikavva-ya in Otenmacho.

Learning etiquettes sounds laudable, but...

Where did you learn the Ryukyu songs from?

I heard you sang it for a maidservant here.

Was that a song from Ryukyu?

Were you singing it without knowing it?

Yes.

I don't know where heard it from, but...

It amused me.

Shall I sing it for you?

Please e>

Master...

Was it Shizume?

Shizume?

Those eyes...

Those gestures...

Remind me of that woman.

The blood will drip! Clean it up right away!

Very well.

Ocho!

Are you after the pact, too?

Is it the lady's order?

Hey, we have to go back.

Yu, this is way above your head.

You didn't come from Ryukyu to do such a dangerous thing.

You have to find your mother.

We have only two days left.

Can you obtain the pact within that time?

After that, Kishu Tsunanori will become the shogun's heir.

Did you hear the conversation between Tsunanori and the chief retainer?

Yes.

You're sacrificing your life...

Doing what you are doing.

If you go back to the Kishu residence, you will die.

I am deeply indebted to Lady Senshu-ni.

This is the least I can do.

Duties and obligations... Don't match a woman.

Yu, will you sing that song for me?

What?

The one you sang before. The Ryukyu song.

Father!

Yu!

Mother!

Mother! - Yu/

Mother!

It wasn't only because of Lady Senshu-nFs request

that I decided to go to the Kishu residence.

It was also to search for my mother.

Nago Heian, who abducted my mother,

became the shipping agent for the Kishu clan, remember?

Apparently, he bribed the clan's high officials.

He gave them gold, silver, and beautiful women.

Women?

Do you think your mother was one of them?

Yes.

The woman that was given to Akama Tonomo,

the Edo chief retainer, used to sing Ryukyu songs.

I'm certain that was my mother.

Is she still in the main residence?

No, but...

Are you having a rendezvous?

What an attire today!

Hovv inconsiderate of you!

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Welcome home.

When did you start sewing?

I'm sorry.

I had no idea that we were so financially tight.

No, I'm sewing this for you.

For me?

The kimono you are wearing now is very ragged.

You sewed a kimono for me?

I see...

So you sewed this for me...

Hovv does it look on me?

What's wrong?

Because you got involved with a tainted woman like me...

A nice man like you has to suffer, too.

You've got that wrong.

I didn't leave the Kishu clan because of you.

It was love at first sight, when I saw you,

Akama Tonomo's gift from Ryukyu.

But I didn't come to your rescue when you needed it.

Please stop it.

Something was wrong with me that time.

I just watched Shosetsu and his followers die...

I did nothing to help them.

I fell to the bottom after that.

When I was feeling useless, you helped me recover...

Why do you reject the lord's love?

Why aren't you trying to humor the lord?

I don't want to be a man's toy anymore.

Seeing you resist...

Seeing your strong will to go with the flovv of the times...

I was able to get back on my feet.

Shizume...

Dear...

Shizume!

I saw your daughter today.

You saw Yu?

She's beautiful, like you.

Yu...

We found you, Kosaka Jinemon!

Dear!

Stop!

It's been a while, Jinemon.

T h ree years?

Yes.

It's about time you forgot about this head.

You stole the precious living doll I was going to give the lord.

Oh well. Never mind.

Will you forget about me then?

As despicable as you are, I want to use your skills...

As lowly as you've fallen, your skills aren't rusty.

Will you return to the clan, Jinemon?

Won't you use your skills again for the clan?

Ocho!

Ocho, you're not an ordinary person, after all.

Jinemon...

Why are you here?

Knowing it's you, I can't kill you.

Hand that scroll over and leave at once.

Aren't you Shizume's daughter?

I heard that Shizume's daughter had joined Lady Honri-in's group.

Tell me where Lady Honri-in is!

I do not know such a person!

Confess...

And I won't take your life.

I'll let you see Shizume, too.

Shizume was a stubborn woman, too.

Will you take the same punishment as her?

What did you do to my mother?

You'll go through the same thing as her.

You've endured the torture... But what about this?

Chief Retainer!

Stay out of this!

That's what you told me three years ago.

What?

I'll repeat what I said three years ago.

I will take this woman.

Jinemon...

I get it.

You knew that she was Shizume's daughter...

Did you honestly think I'd serve you again?

Do you think you can protect her life alone?

It didn't go as well as three years ago, huh?

There is a way you can save her.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

As foolish as it sounds...

I saved Yu in exchange for your head.

Hanzo, please forgive me.

Do you think they'll spare Yu for my head?

I have no other option.

I shall kill you!

Have you come to?

You can't get up yet.

I can't see.

Don't vvorry. You'll be able to see again.

Don't worry and lay down.

Mother?

That voice...

This warmth...

I remember them very well.

Mother...

You're my mother, aren't you?

You're mistaken...

You're my mother!

Mother...

You're crying...

I knew it... You are my mother, after all...

Yu, was it?

I've been passed around like a toy,

from man to man...

I'm filthy...

A woman like me can't be your mother.

Who cares about that?!

That doesn't matter to a mother and daughter.

All that matters is that you are alive.

Ocho...

Even my mother...

was very filthy.

The shogunate killed my father when I was seven.

They killed him because ninja weren't necessary during peaceful times.

My mother slept with many men to provide for me.

She did everything she could to raise me.

As filthy as she was, I still loved her.

I want to see her, if I could...

But she's dead already

Shizume, if Yu was filthy...

Would she not be dear to you?

Yu...

Mother...

Yu!

Mother!

Yu...

Mother?

Mother!

Yu, call me mother again...

Mother!

This isn't a dream, is it?

Until I saw you again...

I couldn't die...

Mother?

Mother!

Mother...

Mom!

Chief! Don't kill him!

Chief! Why did you kill him?!

Why'?!

If I didn't, he would've killed me...

Chief...

Chief...

What?

The lord has suddenly come?

Yes.

He wants you to bring the pact to him immediately.

All right.

So you had the fake pact guarded grandly...

Damn you!

Guards!

My body is iron...

My mind is empty...

Evil shall be destroyed.

Chief!

Shouldn't you give that to the lady?

It doesn't matter who has it.

As long as it e> will be more bloodshed...

Han-ko!

This is during business hours! Please stop it!

Han-ko, what is the meaning of this?

Pact? This is alarming.

It's to protect her virginity.

What's that opposed to be?

I guess she's protected it for a long time.

I'm so ve> They're all making fun of me.

They're trying to make me an old maid.

Don't get mad at me.

Stop pretending. You signed it, too.

I didn't sign it. Someone must've forged it.

This is your signature. - Bu! I didn't!

Stop cryiHQ-

Be a good girl and suck her breasts.
