Help! Somebody, please help!

The biggest oil merchant in Edo,

Yahiko-ya, was robbed by
a professional thief in the daytime.

That was big news!

The police chief happened
to be in the neighbourhood,

and rushed into the store!

Oh, thank you for coming.

Who was it?
Did he run away?

Well, nobody saw him.

Close the main gate!
- Sir! -Sir!

Watch the hallway! Close the back gate, too!
- Sir! -Sir! -Sir!

What about the warehouse and the cellar?
- Yes.

The inner warehouse is fine.

Nobody went there.

Master's youngest daughter is in front of it,
playing hide and seek with her friends.

"Kojimachi, Akasaka...
... Akasaka no..."

"Kojimachi, Akasaka...
... Akasaka no..."

Well, if he isn't here, then?

We keep all the oil barrels from
Osaka at the outside warehouse.

How about there?

- Take me there!
- Yes.

"Kojimachi, Akasaka...
... Akasaka no..."

Are you ready?

Not yet.

"Soon, Ochanomiya..."

"It's time for
lunch at Ochanomiya..."

"I'll buy you a drink."

Are you ready?

Not yet.

Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready.
I'm ready.

I found the devil
in hide and seek!

Oh, you've found me.
I give up. I give up.

Now, Uncle, you be the devil.

Yes, yes.

I'll be a scary devil who
eats up the whole Yahiko-ya.

However, this devil has a soul.

I don't want to
kill innocent people.

Besides, I have accomplished
my purpose for today.

Yahiko-ya, I'll take this.

This used to belong to us.

And you,

if you care about your child's life,

don't say anything
until after everybody leaves.

Let's go upstairs.
And bring the toys with you.

Yes!

I'll teach you a new song.

The beginning of the story is,

a samurai came to sell Yahiko-ya

a very famous and expensive
tea cup called "Ichimonji".

The daughter of the master
was going to get married

to another big merchant
also named 'Ichimonji'.

Yahiko-ya thought it
would bring great luck

to add the famous tea cup
to her bridal furniture set.

However, the samurai
set the price too high.

The negotiations seemed
to be at an end right there.

Suddenly, the samurai drew his sword.

Well, the samurai tied them all up and
went to the inner warehouse

as if he had planned it in advance.
Then...

"How much will it be
to get in the palanquin?"

"How about 500?"

"How about a little lower?"

Uncle!
Let's play together!

Yes, yes.

Well. Play hide and seek with me.
We'll decide who'll be the devil.

What a surprise!

She said to him,
"Uncle, let's play!"

Even though she
had never met him before.

He was a total stranger to her,
you know.

What a brave girl she was!

What a nice line.

"Uncle, let's play!"
- Tetsu.

How did you get this whole story?

Oh, come on.

I'm a well-known hairstylist
in that neighborhood.

I see.

I guess Yahiko-ya let you do your
work at the inner warehouse.

Hush! How rude you are!

Well. Actually, you're right.

I was hiding in
the inner warehouse first

because I wanted to
steal something from there.

Then, suddenly the samurai came in
with the girl to play hide and seek.

I almost had a heart attack!

What was he looking for?

He was looking
for something like

contract documents, accounting
records, or blue prints.

What were you looking for?
- Yes.

I spotted some merchandise
delivered from Echigo,

specifically from Yahiko, which is
the store owner's home town.

So I guessed that it was the famous saké
from that region called 'Enmei-shu'.

I stole one container and
hid it inside my tool box.

How did you escape
from the warehouse?

Since his granddaughter
was a hostage,

Yahiko-ya couldn't do anything.

I used that panic situation

as a chance to
escape from the warehouse.

Well, I want to taste
this special saké with you.

Hey, can I have a hammer and a wooden cup for saké?
- Yes!

People say that if you
drink a cup of this saké

you'll extend your life by a year.
What great saké. 'Enmei-shu!! '

Ugh! Damn!

What is it?
What a foul smell!

Spoiled? Or I don't know what.

- Wow! - Wow! - Fire!

- Madam! - Water! - Water!

- It's out! - It's out! - Yes!

What a surprise!

You can't put it out with water

because it runs on top
of the water and spreads.

That's why we have
to put it out with our feet.

We call it 'fukusozui'or 'kusamizu',

and it comes out
of the ground in Echigo.

It's just like oil.

Miss, are you from Echigo?

Oh no, no.

I knew because my friends
from Echigo told me about it.

Friends?

Yes.

"The Street Performers from Echigo".

Attention!

Thank you very much.
Good day.

There was a
man behind the screen.

He was hiding himself there.

The man who ignited the fukusozui.

Was he a samurai?

He seemed like a ronin.

So what?

I just saw him for a second,

but I thought
he was Kakunosuke-sama.

So, I wanted
to check for myself.

That's why I jumped in the
restaurant to put out the fire.

But he never showed his
face from the screen again.

It's impossible.

Impossible that he
could have survived.

Kakunosuke-sama,
whom I met in Osaka,

had been badly burned by fire.

I cannot be sure it was
his head on display.

I can't get the idea
out of my head that

Kakunosuke-sama somehow survived

and is living somewhere here in Edo.

Yes.

He was following
us from the restaurant.

Are there any rich people
in this neighborhood

who can afford a hairstylist?

Damn!

Who are you?!

Attention!

This is evidence.

Yahiko-ya stole these very secret plans

which had been made by the Senshindo.

From these designs,
Yahiko-ya has already started

refining oil from Fukusozu
in Echigo for commercial use.

Well, what did you
request from Yahiko-ya?

At first, 100,000 ryo.

100,000 ryo?

In cash?

Can he afford it?

He was the one who
brought the proposal that

for our project of
refining oil from Fukusozu

he pay a 10,000 ryo premium.

However, now I know
he won't pay a penny.

So that's why
I want to blackmail him.

Of course,
I don't care if he pays or not.

I just want to
push him to the edge.

I want him to suffer!

Yes.

After all,
I'm going to kill him anyway.

Since we've got the evidence.

To keep it simple,
let's kill him right now!

Yes, kill him!!

It's too easy!

The research of Jusai-sama,
our great teacher was destroyed

by others besides Yahiko-ya,
was it not?

Yes, of course!

All of the big Osaka merchants
who promised to support

our cause to aid the poor,
then backed out on their promises.

Konoike Zeiemon to begin with.

Mitsui Hachisoemon,
Tenma-ya Gohei!

Uchida Sobei,
Yone-ya Heiemon, 24 others!

Merchants.

Any others?

Of course!

Our petition for aid
to the poor was crushed

in his hand as if it were trash
by the East Magistrate Officer,

Atobe Yamashiro.

Then what did Atobe Yamashiro do?

Well. He asked for orders
from the higher ranking officers

in the East Magistrate's office.
- That's what people thought!

The truth is Atobe Yamashiro was
under the direction of his brother,

Mizuno Tadakuni.

Mizuno, one of the senior councillors
to the Shogun, is Atobe's brother?

Not many people know.

Atobe is actually a
puppet who's controlled by

his brother Mizuno Tadakuni,
one of the Shogun's senior councillors.

Therefore, never forget
who actually destroyed our

great teacher Jusai's project
and put him to a tragic death!

Never forget his name!

Our ultimate goal is!

Shima-san?

Finally, Yahiko-ya makes a move.

I heard that Yahiko-ya
secretly ordered bodyguards

from the dojo 'Kusakabe
Genshin School of the Sword.'

How about you?

I'm a new student.

So I'm not
included as a part of it.

Then, do you know
anything about the order?

We can't make a plan
if we don't have any information!

What are we going to do?

What shall we do?

We can't just wait here
for them to show up.

For them to show up?
Here?

Yes.

This is a secret hideout.
How would they find out about it?

Why don't you ask Shima?

No! Never!

They asked you, didn't they?

Why don't you ask Shima's body?

I see.

You told them after being tortured.

Damn you!

Since they found
out about our hideout,

where is the best place for us to go?

Yes! Yes!

What good timing.

There are two vacant rooms
at a tenement house.

One is vacant because
the old tenant died there.

The other is vacant because
the former tenants ran away.

Besides, they're
very close to Ichimonji-ya!

Oh!

I'm so sorry, sir.

Kusakabe Genshin
School of the Sword

Place your bets! Ready?
- Game! - Even!

Aizen and the others
have gone somewhere.

But Shima did not
come out of the ship.

I thought it was a bit strange,

so I went inside the ship to check.

"Take him back since he is a student of yours."

What the hell are you doing?

What a terrible thing I did!
Please. Please forgive me, please.

Hey you! Come up here!
And get down on your knees!

Komura,

you're the one who
should have avoided it.

If it was a 'kusarigama' (chain and sickle),

half of your head would already be gone.

Well, well, it was my mistake.
I'm so sorry.

Oh, our teacher!
- Kakunosuke-sama!

Oh!

Kakunosuke-sama!

"Oh, our teacher!"
- "Kakunosuke-sama!"

"Kakunosuke-sama!"

I see!

He was Kakunosuke!
The one who was in Osaka.

If Kakunosuke was
the son of Oshio Heihachiro...

Then, calling me, "Our teacher",
"Kakunosuke-sama"...

Those men, that woman,
Who are they?

What are you studying?

Oh, sir.

When we had the
'Oshio Heihachiro Affair',

Atobe Yamashiro-dono was in the
East Magistrate's office, wasn't he?

Correct.

Mizuno Esshu, is Atobe
Yamashiro your brother?

Yes, that's right.

What about it?

There's someone who wants
to see you right away.

The men in the ship
found an odd place to hide.

Well.

"Attention!"

The street performers live there too.

That means they live
very close to Ichimonji-ya.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Hey!

I don't know who they are,

but I guess they're after Yahiko-ya.

Are they thieves?

They can't be.

But we have our job
to do before they move.

Please stop singing
the song that man taught you.

He's a criminal!

He is not a criminal!
He promised next time he'll bring me

a beautiful gift!

Don't trust him.
He's a terrible person!

He will! He will!
If he doesn't, he'll be punished!

"Promise... Promise..."

"If you break it,
your ten fingers..."

"will rot and fall off."

He'll come.

I don't want to see
Uncle lose his ten fingers!

- What did he promise to bring you?
- Well... I can't say! I can't say!

Until the moment,
I promised not to say a word!

Otherwise my fingers will rot.
Oh, a terrible thing!

Where is Ichimonji-ya?

With father.

I copied the illustration
and document myself.

So they're quite accurate.

I'm pretty sure of it.

If there are any mistakes,

it would have to be
in the processing equipment.

No matter what we tried, we
couldn't eliminate the black smoke.

I must find out the petroleum refining
process from the Dutch in Nagasaki.

Otherwise, we can't sell
this stuff as commercial oil.

- We'll do it!

We'll keep doing it until we change all
the petroleum in the country into 'pure' oil.

This is a big business!

I swore on my soul that we'd close
the door on the tragic 'Oshio Incident'.

I was a part of that incident.

Because of it,
I can't sleep well at night.

- That's why I'll give
you my daughter

and let you
handle my main business.

I really appreciate that.

So please let me go to Nagasaki.

No. We can't make any moves.

Why is that?
- Because it's dangerous.

The Oshio survivors are tough,
and I know

they won't just
take money and go away.

Besides, I'm worried about...
- What? Is there something else?

Well, I heard that Kakunosuke,

who is supposed to be dead,
is hiding somewhere in Edo.

Furthermore, somebody saw Kakunosuke.

It can't be true.

Well...

It's possible if the dead body
they recovered was somebody else's,

and was so badly burned that
it couldn't be identified well.

Father!

He's the one
who saw Kakunosuke.

I made pictures of Kakunosuke

to give out to my bodyguards

for the search.

Excuse me.

Could your name be Oshio?
- Are you asking if I'm Kakunosuke?

- Oh!

It depends on who's asking!

Be serious!

Who are you?

You should introduce yourself properly
if you want to know somebody's name!

Alright, then!
I'm asking you with a sword!

If you draw your sword,
then I'll do the same.

Prepare yourself!

Damn.

Withdraw! Withdraw!

Kyoshiro! I need to talk to you.

A wastrel?

Yes, I'm a wastrel as you say.

I can't stand authority.

It's for our country!

It's for our country that we
need your help in bringing justice.

How could you do nothing if you know
the Oshio survivors plan to revolt?

I know nothing about it.
I don't know any details of it.

Don't tell me
you don't know anything.

Weren't you at Mizuno Esshu-sama's
library the other day

doing research about
the 'Oshio Heihachiro Affair'?

That's right.

The 'Oshio Affair' was the
result of bad government policies

and mishandling of
the public by politicians.

I believe responsibility
for the whole incident lies with

'Roju'Mizuno Echizen-no-Kami...
- Stop!

As you wish, sir.

I'll ask you again.
Can you accept my request?

If there's a revolt,

it will be Echizen-no-Kami's own fault.

He should deal with it himself.

He's an Elder on the
'Roju'(Ruling Council).

He doesn't need this villain's
skill at the sword to protect him.

Come!

Lf...

If you change your mind.

Kid! Come out!

I'll walk you home.

Whatever your intentions.

Whatever your plans.

You shouldn't use
a little kid like him as a spy.

If you interfere too much,
you might get hurt.

Please tell them that.

Understand?
- Yes!

How kind of you.

For walking this child home
to his tenement house,

as a member of the community,
I want to thank you.

You're welcome.

Forgive me for asking,
but are you Nemuri Kyoshiro-dono?

I saw you at
the bridge the other night

and observed your 'Full Moon Style'.

I was very impressed.

Thank you very much.

However, since you're a friend of
RojuMizuno Esshu's Chief Retainer,

you might not be on our side.

Maybe yes...

and maybe no.

Well, in the near future,

we'll find out!

Excuse me.

Kyoshiro is on our enemy's side

and I assume you're on our side.

I don't know
why you're here,

but if you need help,
I'll give it to you.

"If you interfere too much,
you'll get hurt."

Don't bother us too much,
otherwise we'll kill you right away.

If it makes you feel better
to confess to someone,

then I'll listen to you.

However, you should know
that I'm not a moral person.

You can trust me on this,
because I, myself, am telling you.

Kakunosuke-sama had an
idea about fukusozuiin Echigo.

He was searching for a process to refine
fukusozuiinto commercial oil.

Since fukusozui comes out
of the ground naturally,

it would make huge profits
if he could successfully refine it.

And he thought he could
use the money for his cause.

Then Yahiko-ya,
who is from Echigo, proposed to

back all of Kakunosuke's projects.
- No!

Yahiko-ya wanted to steal
our master's project.

He just pretended to be
Kakunosuke's sponsor.

What?

They made me spy on Kakunosuke-san.

Spy?

It was when Kakunosuke-sama
came to our village in Echigo

to research fukusozui.

I became a guide and
his assistant at that time.

Then Kakunosuke-sama asked
me to be his assistant in Osaka

for research into refining
fukusozuiinto commercial oil.

So I went with him to Osaka.

Young Master!

I'm stupid!

Stupid!

You fell in love with
Kakunosuke, didn't you?

No, never. Not at all!

I'm a street performer.

Homeless from the day I was born.

Our class levels were totally different.

Class level is class level.
Love is love.

I see.

Then Yahiko-ya used your
emotions for his benefit.

After all, I'm the one who's stupid.

Yahiko-ya's nephew,
Ichimonji-ya Minokichi and I

grew up in the same
neighborhood in our home town.

Minokichi told me that he loved me.

I see.

I was so flattered by
his sweet talk because

I had never expected anything
like that in my life.

Please understand me.

I understand well.

Then, I did awful things
to Kakunosuke-sama,

such as stealing his research
documents and equipment,

as I was told to do by Minokichi.

After everything you did for him,
he left you.

Yes.

Minokichi got a lot of credit for
what you stole from Kakunosuke

and he got a branch
of Yahiko-ya's family.

Besides, he'll marry
Yahiko-ya's daughter.

That's why you're here.
To kill Minokichi.

Yes.

But, how are you going to kill him,
with your gentle hands?

I'll do anything.

If I can get close to him, then.

What?

Let's go!

Hey!

Did you see?

Kyoshiro! I'll kill you.

Let's fight!
- Give up!- Woman! - Prepare!

I don't know who my mother is!

But some woman
gave birth to me for sure!

That's why I can't stand for
anyone trying to hurt a woman

who is just like my mother!

I also can't stand anyone
who tries to hurt my neighbor.

I'll take care of the rest.

Is that the palanquin?

Yes. I'm sure it's Ichimonji-ya.
Your enemy Minokichi is right there!

Where is he going?

He was probably summoned by Yahiko-ya,
because I see one of Yahiko-ya's clerks.

Only one clerk.

Wait!

It's not the right time yet.

Let me see your hand.

My hand?

Oh, we've almost the same hands.

I don't know who my mother is.

But I was told by someone
who knew my mother

that we have almost
exactly the same hands.

If my hand and yours are the same,

then your hands are
the same as my mother's.

Your mother's hands?

I don't want any blood on your hands.

I understand how much you hate him
for what he did to you.

However, a woman like you
should not have blood on her hands.

When the right time comes,
the right person will kill him.

Are you talking about Aizen's people?

No.

Then are you the one?

No.

Then who will do it?

Heaven.

Heaven?

By a person who was
ordered to do so by Heaven,

and at the time
when he is told to do it.

Then, when will that be?

When?

Well.

Today is...

The Rat. The Ox. The Tiger. The Hare.

I see.

What?

I see.

The Ram. The Monkey. The Rooster. The Dog.

It will probably be in
October, the first day of...

The day will be the
first day of 'Inohi' in October.

The day of the 'Inoko' visit to the castle.

The 'Inoko' visit?

On the first day of 'Inohi'
at the beginning of October,

all of the direct retainers
of the Shogun will gather

at Chiyoda Castle to
celebrate the festival of 'Inoko'.

This will be a once per year special occasion
with a parade to the castle at night.

They'll start to the
visit in the early evening,

between 4:00 and 5:00 PM
(the Hour of the Monkey).

The 'Inoko' festival among the townspeople
will be going on at the same time.

We must not miss this excellent timing.

I understand. Very well.

I'll kill the senior councilor
Mizuno Tadakuni by myself,

since we only have one
handgun from the Dutch.

Who will burn one of
Yahiko-ya's oil warehouses?

I'll do it!

Who will take care of Hikoemon?
- I'll do it!

Did you find out where
Ichimonji-ya's secret oil refinery is?

I still don't know.

But it must be somewhere
underground near Ichimonji-ya.

I believe the woman street
performer who lived next to us

has already found out where it is.

Since she's a woman, I bet she wants to kill
Minokichi for some emotional reason.

Should we catch her and torture her?

Torture her and force her to confess.

Or take her into our group and use her.

Then what?

After we've used her.

Sir!

The woman street
performer got kidnapped!

What about the children?
- Yes!

Everybody! The old man, too!
There's nothing in the room. It's empty!

It doesn't seem
as if they've been kidnapped.

It looks like they packed
their things and took off.

What's this?

"Koishikuba"

This is still wet.
That means it was just written.

I see.

She used a riddle from
her performance to tell me

where she was going.

Oh! Look at that!

Tetsu!

Why don't you read this from a headstand position?
- What?

Yes.

How about it?
Do you understand it?

The reverse of 'Ura Mi'would be 'Miura'.

'Koishikuba'is the beginning
of the poem "Kuzunoha".

"Koishikuba..."
(lf you miss me... )

"Tazune Kitemiyo Izuminaru,"
(Why not come and visit me,)

"Shinoda no Mori no?"
(in the forests of Shinoda?)

- Well. That means
at the den of the 'Shinoda'fox.

The den of the 'Shinoda'fox.

'Ura Mi'backwards would be 'Miura'.

"Shinoda no Mori no Urami Kitsuno."

"MIURA"

"FOR SALE"

What happened to you?

Where are the children and the old man?

I helped them escape.

Before I was caught,
I got them away to safety.

But I couldn't escape.

So, they brought you here.

Then what about the riddle
telling me where you were?

Who did it?

How did you manage to write it?

After I got caught,
I was forced to write it.

- Why?

Why are you in bed?

I'm naked.

What?

They took all my clothes away,
to keep me from escaping.

And made me disclose where
Ichimonji-ya's oil refining factory is.

Now! Put this sheet
around your body and get up!

I don't think I'll let you do that.

First, step back from there very slowly.

Yes, yes.

Walk to the alcove.

Wait!

Drop your 'Katana' right there.

Nemuri Kyoshiro, you're pretty smart.

How did you find us?

"Koishikuba? Tazune Kitemiyo?"
(Will you come? Or not?)

I was wondering if you
caught the twist of the riddle.

And by coming here to Miura,

you did well!

Why are you doing this?

I want to be cautious.

I don't want you to interfere
in our business tonight.

What's going on tonight?

You'll find out soon.

Wait until 5:00 PM.
(the Hour of the Monkey)

Waiting won't be so bad,
since you'll be with a sexy woman.

Until 5:00 PM?
(The Hour of the Monkey)

Yes.

That's when the
Shogun's direct retainers

parade to the castle to celebrate
the annual festival of 'Inoko".

At the same time,

we'll be burning down all of Yahiko-ya
and Ichimonji-ya's oil warehouses.

Fire will spread over all downtown

and create an inferno!

In avenging our teacher
Oshio Jusai-sensei's brutal treatment

at the hands of the government,
this is only the beginning!

You're one of the
retainers of Jusai-sensei

who fought against the
government for the poor.

How can you kill a thousand
innocent people just for your revenge?

- Shut up!

I don't care!

By the way,
give me your short sword, too.

Even though you're a master of 'Full Moon Style',
you'll die instantly if I shoot you with my gun.

Why don't you give up?!

I want you to stay away from
my work tonight, that's all.

- I can't let you do that!

Why should your revenge
against a corrupt government

cause innocent people to die?

I won't let you do that!

- You're very stubborn!

You and I have a lot in
common in our characters.

That's why I want you to be on my side,

rather than an enemy.

Why don't you understand my kindness?

- Cut the crap!

As one of the 1,840,000 people of Edo,

I will not allow you
to carry out your murderous plans!

I see.

I see! I see!

Whatever you say,
I'll still have to do it.

You just shut up and watch me.

When your eyes get
used to the darkness,

take a look from the window.

You have to see everything!

They're the bodyguards
hired by Yahiko-ya,

students of Kusakabe
Genshin's sword school.

But they tricked Yahiko-ya
and Ichimonji-ya and kidnapped them.

That's right.
As you might suspect.

Money, money, money!

By the way, from Yahiko-ya's
company we demanded,

in exchange for Yahiko-ya Hikoemon
and Ichimonji-ya, they give us 100,000 ryo.

The money is supposed
to be delivered today.

Then the bodyguards
found out about the money,

so they kidnapped them,
and brought them here.

They want to have a
share of the 100,000 ryo.

They're like animals.
No morals, no loyalty.

Since we're keeping them here,
Aizen can't get the money from Yahiko-ya.

So, he has to pay
us whatever we want,

or he'll have to beg us
to bring them back to Yahiko-ya.

So let's decide how
much we want to ask for.

They came to us to negotiate for
the lives of Hikoemon and Ichimonji-ya.

But we don't have a figure yet.

I don't think we'll ever have a figure.

The whole thing is just a ruse.

We have to keep them busy
until we can complete our mission.

Eventually, I'll kill them both.

To begin with, they're stupid enough
to believe there will be 100,000 ryo.

It's time.

Everybody, thank you very much.

Well, I'll give you some money.

Well. It's already 5:00 PM.
Where is my husband?

Mother! It's already 5:00 PM!
It's already 5:00 PM!

Hey! Hey! Big Sister!

It's the 'Hour of the Monkey'!
Today is the day!

Uncle promised that
he'd be back to give me

a present at 5:00 PM
on the day of the 'Inoko'.

He'll be here soon!

Then I'll show you the present!

Watch out!
- There, in the garden!

There's Mizuno-sama!
I can see the family crest.

There is 'Roju'Elder,
Mizuno Esshu-sama!

Oh!

Tricked!

Fire!

Fire, fire, fire!

Downtown is burning!

It could be around
Yahiko-ya's neighbourhood!

What?

If that is Yahiko-ya,
our whole plan will fail!

Hey, take them upstairs and let them see it.
- Yes!- Yes! - Yes! - Yes! - Yes!

Take a good look.
Is that your store or not?

Oh!

It has to be!

Aizen did it!

- We can't get the money
if the whole store burns down!

Hey, Yahiko-ya!
Where's the 100,000 ryo

extortion money you
were supposed to pay Aizen?

- I don't have that much money!
- What did you say?

Are you forgetting about your promise?

I can't believe you actually believed
we had that amount of money to pay.

You pitifully switched sides in order
to get a share from them.

- Shut up! You bastard!

Aizen promised to pay us
in exchange for you!

Now, where is the money?!

Tell me!

If you really want money,
why don't you get Aizen?!

He and his men are fugitives from the Oshio Affair.
- What?

- Get them!

You'll get a lot of reward money
from the government!

Get them! Get them all!

Oh!

They did it!

My store and my warehouse!

All gone!

Hey you!

How could you double-cross us?!

That's your own fault
for becoming overly greedy!

- What did you say?

You're fugitives from the Oshio Affair.
I'll get you!

What do you mean, "I'll get you"?

We don't care about our lives.

Everything is for our teacher
Oshio-sensei's cause!

Come on!

Oh! Release me, too!
Release me, too!

Aizen!

Oh! Aizen!
- How did you do?- How about Mizuno?

Rotten luck! They deceived us!
- What?

Aizen!

Kyoshiro!

You did it!

Yes!

If I say I'm going to do it,
I do it.

Unfortunately, I missed my mortal enemy,
Mizuno Echizen no Kami.

Look! Look!

A burning inferno!

If the wind shifts,

the fire will reach the central keep
and west wing of the castle!

Burn the castle!

Burn the Daimyo's mansions,
the Retainers' mansions!

If you want to burn them all, do it!

But, how do you
feel about the people

who lost their houses
and have no food for tomorrow?

Whatever your intention was, Aizen,
there is no way I can forgive you!

Very well.
You're worthy of battling.

Hey! You.
- Stop! I'll take care of him.

Let's go.

I didn't have... time...
to... give this to her.

Take this...

...I promised to give...
Yahiko-ya's little girl...

Today is the day...

...The first day of 'Inoko'.

THE END
