Nemuri Kyoshiro!

Hey! Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir! You! Lady's man!

Sir! She's a pretty girl! That's so, isn't it?

Yes, oh yes!

You're lucky!

She's only 15, and of course she's a virgin.

How about 2 ryo?

Well, is it too much for you?

Sir, sir.

- Please, let's go. - Let's go.

- Move! Move! - Please.

She's a good girl.

- Hey. - Yes.

Do you know where a house called "Izutsu" is?

What?

Izutsu.

Well, you knew of her already.

That's the house I'm taking you to.

Who told you about the girl?

I need to go to the house, that's all.

I see.

It's over there.

Sir, I'm not lying. She really is a virgin.

Sir, please...

I'll give you a little discount.

But please don't be cheap, either.

- Sir, please. - Sir, please.

- Very well. I'll buy her. - Good!

Excuse me. Welcome here.

Hey, don't just stand there! Come in here.

You're her first customer, so... she's a little shy.

This is the girl. She's good isn't she?

Well, say something nice to the customer!

She's still a child.

Oh, no! She's not.

Hey! Say something to the customer!

Samurai... samurai... I hate them!

Oh! What's the matter with you?!

Samurai... samurai... Murderer!

Have you lost your mind?!

Come here and say something to the customer!

I heard the word "Murderer".

Nothing happened.

She's a virgin, isn't she?

Behave.

- Madam. - Yes.

It has nothing to do with this girl.

I came here because I received an invitation.

What?

The letter said it was from Kiku.

I don't know her.

I assume you know I'm Nemuri Kyoshiro!

Why don't you introduce yourself?

The Hayate of Bushu!

Aree you the one who invited me?

Who is this Kiku?

Tell me! Who is Kiku?

A daughter of the Shogun,

the Princess Kiku.

Kiku-hime!

It's revenge for your humiliation of the Princess!

That witch! She's come back!

Watch your mouth!

She's a noblewoman!

We underestimated you.

This is only the beginning.

We will keep coming after you until we kill you!

Until we kill you...

Princess Kiku is the one who has a bad reputation

and abuses her power as a daughter of the Shogun.

But, how do you know her?

Oh, excuse me.

I'm Shimosawa Tenma.

I travel to find my sworn enemy,

and because of that I tend to listen in.

Kiku-hime...

He said the humiliation you gave the Princess.

Yes.

She abused her power as the Shogun's daughter,

and killed men after she slept with them.

She enjoyed it greatly!

I can't stand a woman who gets

all that she wants because of her position of authority!

Hey, stand back!

She saw me on the street and wants to invite me...

very well, I'll sleep with her.

Kyoshiro...

...Kyoshiro...

...Kyoshiro.

He's an actor.

I saw everything.

You deceived me! I'll kill you!

Somebody! Intruder!

Get him! Get him!

I felt sympathy because of the burn that made you ugly.

But your hatred of beauty and destruction of it...

That makes you a real monster!

The power corrupted her and made her a real monster.

Murderer!

Murderer!

All samurai are Murderers!

What is it?

Well, nothing.

Her father was killed by a samurai.

Testing a new sword on a random wayfarer?

Where's her mother?

Weell...

Hey, bring her contract.

What? Her contract?

I'll let her go free.

I spent a lot of money on her.

She was expensive.

If it's reasonable, I'll pay.

Bring the contract.

What will you do with the girl?

You paid for her, so she's yours.

What's the matter?

Are you sick?

You must be hungry.

Let's go.

Take your time.

Eat more.

I'll bring some fish.

Thank you.

You have great skill with the sword.

Would you please teach me that?

I don't have anything that I can teach.

May I ask you something personal?

I wonder if one of your parents was a foreigner?

Why?

Well... I was just wondering...

My father was one,

a corrupted Christian Missionary.

He became a practitioner of black magic.

- I'm sorry I asked you about it. - Don't be, I don't mind anymore.

Do you have to go?

I wonder where I can stay tonight.

Why don't you come to my place?

That's okay.

Here's the money.

Good luck to you.

Please take care of yourself.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Pleasee come again.

Haru is your name, isn't it?

What are you going to do now?

You don't have parents or a place to go back to.

I'll find a job.

Where?

I'll work as a servant and pay you back all the money!

I won't run away!

What a bother! I don't need a servant.

Even if you don't need me. I'll work.

You said you bought me.

Nobody can buy me! Especially a samurai!

I guess you think I'm a good guy.

But I'm as bad as any outlaw. I'm a rogue and a villain, too.

You're bad.

All samurai are bad people!

Come to my house.

And, your kimono is terrible.

Master!

Could you please get something for her to wear?

Yes.

Aren't you afraid of me?

I've been through more terrible things.

You're always attacking me.

I didn't kill your father!

Samurai are all the same!

Losing your father at the hand of a samurai was the...

beginning of your misfortune.

I'm a samurai, too.

Have you ever killed anyone who did not carry a sword?

If I said no, I'd be a liar.

- But I did it out of self-defence. - It's a lie!

It's always the person who doesn't have a sword that...

gets killed by the one with the sword.

Samurai have a special privilege to do so, don't they?

That's what makes them elite, isn't it?

I'm your servant.

Everyone!

Murder again!

Get out of my way! Out of my way!

Move! Move!

Two days in a row?

An actress was murdered at Ryogoku yesterday morning.

- Damn! What a waste! - I can't believe it.

Why does she have a Cross on her abdomen?

Hey! Here comes the Captain.

Captain, we found this at the river.

"Nemuri Kyoshiro raped her."

Were you still in bed?

I'm not an early riser.

I'm Heihachi, Captain of the police station at Umamichi.

How do you do?

Can I help you?

I guess you know why I'm here.

No, I don't know.

Then I'll tell you directly. It's a serious matter.

Let's hear it.

Did you kill someone across the river at Komachi?

Well, I've already investigated it.

I'm here for another one.

There were two murders, two days in a row.

An actress, Bantan, got killer yesterday morning.

And this morning a barmaid named Shino was murdered.

Both women were naked and had...

black Crosses drawn on their abdomens.

Black Crosses?

There were wooden poles right beeside their bodies that said,

"Nemuri Kyoshiro raped her."

- Heihachi, do you think I did it? - You're saying someonee else did it?

Why don't you find out whose handwriting is on those poles?

Perhaps somebody wrote on the...

poles expecting you to find out whose handwriting it is?

- You're too suspicious - It's my job to be.

Excusee me. Who was the barmaid?

She was the ex-wife of a very famous samurai warrior.

Why was she "ex-"?

Her husband, Akamatsu Kanbei who has a dojo here in town.

He drinks sake all day and is very rowdy.

Because of that his students all left his dojo.

They became quite poor, so his wife, Shino had to work at a bar.

Where is his dojo?

Aioi-cho at Honjo.

Wheree are you going?

To provee my innocence by myself.

- Wait. - Yes.

How much is it?

25 mon.

Let's go.

What?

This girl?

Jinsuke, would you hire this girl?

Well, I neeed help anyway.

I appreciate it a lot.

Besidees, she looks very healthy.

Please, let me work. I'll work very hard.

Because I want to pay my debt.

Very weell. I'll hire her.

- Please take care of her. - Yes.

- Uncle. Please teach me a lot. - Yes.

Let me clean up over there.

My wife will be very happy.

It seems like we suddenly have a daughter.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Kyoshiro-dono!

I was on my way to see you in town.

You told me you were on the road to find your sworn eenemy.

If you want to offer me your help, I refuse it.

No. I want to see your sword style once.

Are you Nemuri Kyoshiro?

Say something!

Are you saying it wasn't you?

People think I'm the one.

- But I didn't do it. - Don't be a fool.

It's so obvious.

The black Cross on my wife's naked body!

It's your clan's family crest!

Nonsense!

You must be one of her lovers!

She's my wife...

even though she slept around!

Therefore, I have to kill you!

If I had killed your wife, why should I have come to see you?

You want to challenge my sword skill.

- For what purpose? - No excuses!

Draw your sword!

Let's see your "Full Moon Cut"!

How do you know about it?

I practice the art of the sword, too.

I've heard your name.

- I don't want to fight with a drunk. - Shut up!

It's no match.

The "Full Moon Cut" is to get the enemy's attention...

while you make a circle and kill him while hee's entranced.

It's just a trick.

So what did you do?

I bit my lip in order to stay awake.

I'll ask you this.

You have to kill whomever sees your Full Moon Cut, don't you?

I don't kill anybody.

I have to kill for my self defense.

I kill only if people attack me first.

Otherwise, I wait.

Please teach me your Full Moon Cut.

My answer is the same. Don't follow me.

Welcome. Come in, please.

This way, please.

I'm fine here.

Would you like to have some tea or sake?

I didn't come here to geet out of the rain.

I came heere to ask you something.

Well.

I wonder what it could be?

I'll tell you how much I love you.

Oh, that's very nice.

But we say "Money can buy you anything."

Don't be smart.

- Please arrange for a boat. - Yes, yes.

Ohisa,

I want to ask you something.

Oh, you look so serious.

I won't let you go home tonight.

It's about Akamatsu Kanbei's wife Shino.

You must have known her since you worked in the same bar.

Who are you?

Who?

Nemuri Kyoshiro.

Hey!

The murderer who killed Shino used my name!

I didn't even know her!

I heard she would sleep with anyone.

Please tell me.

Anything you want to hear.

But only if you give me something I really want.

Money?

And you...

You're really greedy.

A person who gets involved with me tends to have bad luck.

Is that all right with you?

Hold me, please.

Then I'll tell you who killed Shino-san.

Hey, tell me...

Shino-san was killed by Akamatsu Kanbei.

Kyoshiro-sama!

What's wrong?

Akamatsu found out about me telling you the truth...

All right. Stay close to me!

You killed your own wife...

and set me up!

You were jealous of your unfaithful wife...

and also drawn to the large bounty for killing me.

I guess the Bushu of Hayate are the ones who brought the deeal.

You may think it's a piece of cake, but you might lose your life.

Comee on!

- You really want to fight? - Yes.

Let's fight!

Withdraw!

Hey! Tell Princess Kiku!

If she wants to kill a ronin like me just because I...

saw that ugly face of hers, it's eat or be eaten!

I'll fight back like a wild animal!

Tell Princess Kiku!

"Full Moon Cut" Ujitsu Kishizo!

You!

You must be the leader of the Hayate!

Tell me your name!

Bushu no Hayate Number 17!

Is that the hair of your late father?

Those graves are for the nameless poor prostitutes who...

died of illness or committed suicide.

They are buried with 200 mon in their hands.

Those graves are the only sign that they ever lived.

Poor souls.

They were poor, too...

"Nemuri Kyoshiro Raped Her"

Heihachi!

Oh, you knew!

Go away! Don't get involved!

Go away!

Who's that?

Yes, she's been here for a few days.

I feel sorry for a young girl like her being insane.

She seems like the daughter of a merchant or someone.

Oh, yes.

But actually she's living in the house of a Hatamoto samurai.

- Don't you have to follow her? - Oh, no.

It's beyond my jurisdiction as the town policeman.

Then you shouldn't follow me, Heihachi.

"Nemuri Kyoshiro Raped Her"

Is anybody here?

Hey!

She's in danger!

She shouldn't be alone!

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

You're beeautiful.

Dear...

...Dear.

You'ree revealing yourself at last!

Who told you to set me up?

Tell me your name!

Damn.

You know the rules of the Hayate!

Kyoshiro!

What?

I'm banned from Edo?

You're in a state of exile from the city.

I'm a daughter of the Shogun!

That's why his lordship is so disappointed in you.

If you're making more trouble,

our lord is thinking about more seevere punishment for you!

Even the senior members of thee Ruling Council are worried.

Shut up!

I'm begging you!

Nothing will change if you kill a stray dog like him!

It will only be very damaging to the Shogunate's reputation.

Hime-sama!

Please forget about assassinating Nemuri Kyoshiro!

Be peaceful and live quieetly!

Rubbish!

Go!

Go!

Hime-sama!

No one understands how deeply humiliated I was...

and my womanhood destroyed.

Who will comfort me?

Who will comfort me!

I can't let him live any longer!

I can't let him live...

I, Inoki Kiheita, the Shogun's senior counsellor has delivered "His Highness" private messages.

Haru's gone!

What, Haru's gone?

That's big trouble!

Sir!

Sir!

- It's Haru! It's Haru! - What happened?

Haru has been kidnapped!

What?

We got the girl by the order of Princess Kiku.

Every time you kill one of us,

we'll deal her some damage

You!

Bastard!

Oh, what a coincidence to meeet you again!

I don't like to be followed.

Oh, no... no

You can't just guess where I am, can you?

I want to show you something.

What?

I'll escort you.

"Here Lies Nemuri Kyoshiro"

For a villain like me,

this is a very nice grave.

Wait!

I'm just a traveler,

but even if you don't teach me the Full Moon Cut,

I'll help you if you really need backup.

This is my war. I don't need any help.

Oh, you came to see me!

Go ahead!

Okay.

Thank you.

One more.

I'll get drunk.

What are you going to do with me?

I want you.

Are you sure?

For you,

I don't think it's enough.

It's too bright.

I don't want any other man to have you.

Are you serious?

Can't you tell from my eyes?

I'll give you my body.

I'll give you everything.

Elder Sister! Someone wants to see you!

Tell the person to wait.

What is it?

Please, take care.

Enjoy your meal.

Please!

I've been waiting for you!

I'll let you tell me where Princeess Kiku is!

Wait!

I guess you're Nemuri Kyoshiro.

Who are you?

I'm Inoki Kiheita, of the Ruling Council.

May I speak with you?

What do you want to talk about?

It must be about Princess Kiku, Since you're from the government

Yes.

Let's talk.

When Princess Kiku was first exileed from Edo,

she built her own castle and started to act very selfishly.

We don't know what to do about her.

Because of her face,

we feel sorry for her.

Because of her status, she can do anything she wants.

Yet, poor people can't say anything and just die like dogs.

I, myself, can't stand what she's doing.

But my position does not allow me to express my opinions.

You said she has her own castle.

Where is she now?

Well, you can't say where she is now, can you?

She's probably committing countless acts of cruelty.

It's probable that she is not only acting selfishly,

but enjoying cruel acts against people in her castle.

When she gets good looking men,

she uses them as sex slaves and kills them when she's done.

When she gets beautiful women,

she humiliates them, tortures, and kills them.

She's crazy.

These kinds of rumors can damage our government's image.

Government's image?

It's already damaged.

What do you want me to do?

Please destroy all of Princess Kiku's soldiers.

Why don't you do it yourself?

We're on the same side.

We can't kill each other.

He's a member of the Bushu no Hayate.

They're the shadow army of Princeess Kiku.

Nemuri-dono,

you don't want to do the job?

I don't mind killing them all.

I don't worry about my life.

But if I do it,

I'll do it for myself.

Not for anybody else!

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

Will you do it?

Wait.

You left me like that.

You're mean...

I'll stay tonight.

I'm happy.

You're drinking in bed?

No.

Hisa.

Yes?

I know what you're going to do.

Hey, I can't help but love you,

even though I know you love money more then you love me.

Let me go!

You're the one who told Akamatsu Kanbei to kill me.

Now, You're using love to get all the bounty money for yourself.

That's not true!

I won't waste this chance.

I'll have you!

Stupid!

You Failed!

What are you talking about?

He knew everything and came heree!

You're the one who was fooled by him!

Hayate 17!

Run away!

Don't get involved with this man or me, anymore! Otherwise, you'll die!

Go, quickly!

Let her go!

Tenma!

Damn!

Heihachi!

Nemuri Kyoshiro!

I'll challenge you to a fight in the future.

I'll kill you then!

Come out now!

No, you come out.

To Musashino.

Musashino?

The castle of Princess Kiku.

What part of Musashino?

Why don't you find out for yourself?

The girl, Haru, is there also.

Tell me!

Where in Musashino?!

I'll tell you where the castle of Princess Kiku is.

For your own sake?

But is that what you want?

Yes, indeed.

I have to destroy the origin of the evil,

the Princess Kiku.

Otherwise, my bad luck will go on forever.

That's too miserable.

Heer castle is in Musashino,

between Yotsuba and Hontokoromara.

When you see the zelkova trees, turn right.

Then you'll see one zelkova tree on a hill.

You can see her castle from there.

Sir, the Princess wants to see you.

Shimosawa Tenma, come closer.

Yes.

Is Kyoshiro coming?

Definiteely.

We lost in Edo.

Don't do the same here!

Yes!

Kyoshiro...

Kill Kyoshiro in the cruelest way possible.

Understand, Tenma?

Yes.

If you want to say something, say it.

I thought you still love Kyoshiro.

I just felt that way.

Tenma.

You think you can see what's in my heart?

But I can see what's in your heart, too.

You want to kill Kyoshiro not becausee of loyalty to me.

What are you talking about?

No! You don't care about ugly Princess Kiku!

You want to make it to the top.

Because I told you that if you kill Kyoshiro

I'll arrange for you to work in the government.

- Isn't that right? - Yes, that's right.

We're in the shadows.

Now we have the chance to become real soldiers.

To be what you want,

and to kill Kyoshiro,

did you prepare everything to trap him?

To win!

We'll be cruel! We'll have no pride!

Only to win! Wee want to kill!

Kill Kyoshiro!

Bring Kyoshiro's head!

It's Kyoshiro! Kyoshiro is coming!

Kyoshiro. I've waited a long time.

I gueess you wanted to have my head!

I'm sorry I still have it.

I'm so delighted to be able to see you die in front of me.

I'm looking forward to seeing what entertainment you have for me.

I hope you'll enjoy my deep hatred.

What are you talking about?

I'll sell your ugly face to a freak show downtown!

Hey, you!

Then you'll say she's a member of the Shogun's family, right?

If you don't want a stray dog like me to look down on her,

I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

Watch your mouth!

You're the one using an evil sword style to kill.

The person who is killed by my evil sword style is more...

likely the one who is unworthy!

Bring Haru here right away!

Don't be in such a hurry.

I'll bring Haru right in front of you now!

Haru!

You wanted to see what entertainment we have, didn't you?

She's an innocent little kid!

This is the fate of those who get involved with you!

What are you going to do to Haru?

Princess Kiku herself will pour the poison over the girl's face.

She'll be the same as the Princess Kiku.

Enjoy it well!

Damn you!

Can you come up these stairs?

Comee over here!

Drop your sword at once!

Otherwise, I'll give her the same pain that you gave me!

Drop your sword!

Kyoshiro!

You finally gave up.

Watch what I'm going to do!

Wait for me at the bottom of the hill.

Yes.

Your plan did not work in the end.

I'll destroy your Full Moon Cut!

I'll kill you in order to stop Princess Kiku's evil deeds...

Die!

Use your enemy's strength to your advantage.

Nemuri-dono That was great work.

If I had been killed, what were you going to do?

Then, I'd do it myself.

I made your work easy.

Now Princess Kiku will be moved to somewhere far away.

What trash!

The Shogunate's image is more important than anything else.

Politicians make me sick!

Uncle!

Uncle!

What a coward he was!

Kyoshiro!

Kyoshiro!

Uncle!

Uncle!

The End
