Lone Wolf and Cub

ltto Ogami stole the secret document of the Yagyu shadow clan.

But he was attacked by the men of Kurokuwa sent by Retsudo.

He finally fought Retsudo in a duel, but...

Daigords Song

Ouch! Ouch!

Ouch!

It hurts!

You hurt yourself again?

That's all right. Stop crying.

Should we take a break? You must be hungry, right?

Yeah!

It's a little early, but let's eat.

I brought some bracken today.

Come on. Let's eat.

Be careful now.

You'll trip and fall if you run around that much.

Mosaku!

What's wrong?

Mosaku!

Don't die on me...

Don't die on me.

Mosaku. There's no need to worry.

He won't wake up.

He's sleeping.

Let him sleep a little longer.

Anyway, he has wounds all over his body.

Looks like he fell off a cliff.

I wonder why he was alone.

He probably came looking for the bracken.

I'm sure his father or mother was with him.

You're probably right.

His parents must be worried.

Anyway, we have to find out who this boy is.

Daddy...

Daddy...

Ah, you're awake now.

It's wonderful! Isn't this wonderful, Father?

There's no need to worry.

My son and I live here.

You were lying near the bottom of the cliff, so we brought you here.

Daddy!

Hey, where are you going?

Daddy!

Your father was involved in an accident too, huh?

Where?

Where was it?

All right.

I'll go find your father, okay?

So you can just go back to sleep.

Mosaku.

Mosaku.

Give this medicine to the boy.

My name is Mosaku.

What is your name?

You must be a farmer's son, aren't you?

I'm a samurai.

I'm the son of a samurai!

But...

I'm sick.

I'm sick in the head and...

You'll get sick if you don't drink this.

You want some?

It's not bitter at all.

It's sweet.

You want some?

If you don't drink, my father will get mad.

He is kind, but he can be scary at times.

He's a samurai!

He's strong...

Stronger than anybody out there.

Daddy!

Hey!

Hey! Where are you going?

Where are you going?

You think your father is up there?

All right. Let's go!

Let's go, Mosaku.

Mosaku! Hang in there!

We're almost there!

Daddy...

Is this your baby cart?

Father...

I see.

So your father is a samurai?

Daddy!

Daddy!

The door is unlocked. Please come in.

What's the matter?

Did you think there was anyone else with me?

No.

This dilapidated house is only good for riding out the evening dew.

If that's fine with you, then you're welcome to stay.

Thank you.

This is great.

My body is really freezing.

I agree.

Sorry to ask you this,

but why do you live in this kind of place?

You seem like a respectable man.

And from the way you talk,

you don't sound anything like a lumberjack.

Are you a ronin?

What clan did you belong to?

There's no need for me to conceal my identity.

Just as you guessed, it's been six years since

I gave up my life as a samurai and moved to this place.

I have an unworthy son.

He was born mentally retarded.

So I couldn't let him take over the clan.

No...

The reason why he was born that way is because his parents were careless.

I have no one to blame but myself.

I feel sorry every time I see him.

Even when we lived at the castle town,

the neighbors constantly mocked him.

He was always crying.

Crybaby Mosaku.

Kids called him names like that and made fun of him.

But if we're out here deep in the mountains,

we can live quietly in peace.

That is why we left the life we had

and ended up out here in the mountains.

In order for the child to live a happy life,

the parent must be responsible and do what's best for him.

I see.

But it seems you have more than one child.

Who's the other child?

I think you people might know more about him than me.

What?

I have sensed your urge to kill,

but that is directed towards that child.

That is why I told you my personal story.

What?

If you understand how I feel, then I would like

for you all to leave quietly.

Why is that?

I don't know what your reason may be,

but it is my responsibility to return this child to his rightful parent.

I believe that heaven entrusted this child to me.

And your urge to kill is directed towards that child.

This is no laughing matter.

And so, for a man like myself devoting everything to his child,

I just can't sit and do nothing.

If you are to harm this child in any way, I must

protect him since I believe it is the right thing for me to do.

What will you do now?

Get him!

Hold it!

You leave us no choice!

Mosaku! Take this child and run!

Stop crying! You're a son of a samurai! Protect this child no matter what!

Mosaku!

Go, Mosaku! Hurry up and go!

Die!

Get out of the way, kid!

I'll kill you if you don't!

Mosaku!

You brat! Damn!

He was a child who didn't shed tears.

He never showed his feelings, and he didn't talk much at all.

He doesn't cry because he's afraid.

He doesn't cry because he's sad.

Those tears he shed were for the death of his very first friend.

They were tears of sorrow.

Daddy!

Lone Wolf and Cub

All alone and playing as I grieve...

Where did my father go?

I tried to go after him,

but ended up stepping on the forest's shadow.

All alone and playing as I grieve...

there's a shadow that! can't step on.

Even though I searched for my mother's shadow,

I couldn't step on it.

Mother...

Where is my mother?

My father still hasn't returned.

A bird sings in the mountain.

Daddy...

All right.

He could have quenched his thirst and satisfied his hunger

if he had accepted sympathy from others.

But he didn't think it was right to depend on others for help.

He was a child who lived a life of great hardship.

Huh? That boy is still watching us.

What?

Whose boy is that?

Come here, little boy.

Little boy, where did you come from?

Looks like he's not from around here.

Maybe he's lost?

Hey, where's your home? Where's your mother?

He probably doesn't have a mother.

Poor child.

You're so dirty.

You're hungry, right?

Here. Have some.

You're hungry, aren't you?

He's a strange kid.

He's not deaf or mute, is he?

He can probably hear us. He's just shy in front of strangers.

Hey. If you leave it there, he'll eat it.

All right, let's get back to work.

Yeah.

All right!

Here we go.

Go over there!

Go after it!

There it goes!

What should he say about his father'?

How should he tell them that he's looking for his father,

who is being hunted down by the Yagyu clan?

As a child, he didn't know how to explain it.

He was hungry.

But he didn't know how to live by accepting kindness from others.

People work hard in order to get fish.

Fish caught in the weir

seemed like a very expensive thing for him.

He didn't think they would just give it to him.

He couldn't just accept the food without paying the price.

To him, paying the price meant putting his life on the line,

just like his father used to do.

I guess you didn't want the food after all.

How long are you planning to stay here?

Hey, maybe his parent told him to stay here.

But...

We're too busy to take care of some strange kid.

Come on, let's go home.

Hey! Okan!

Hurry LIP!

Poor child...

Lady!

You were lonely, right?

You must've been hungry.

Ah, Lady Yabume.

It's very chilly tonight.

Eyes of death!

How frightening!

This child has the eyes of death!

I'm sure of it!

Lady Yabume.

What's wrong with his eyes?

Those eyes...

Ever since he was born, those eyes have seen plenty of bloodshed.

Those eyes are frightening.

Those big black eyes stay motionless,

and the whiteness spreads to the lower left and right.

And he has evaded countless dangers, time and time again.

They could very well be the eyes of a swordsman.

If a child like this has the eyes of death,

it means that he was born under the stars of misfortune.

This child will bring misfortune to anyone who comes in contact with him.

Lady Okan.

I don't know where you found this child,

but I suggest you get rid of him immediately.

But...

Lady Yabume.

I've come for you. For the prayer.

Are we clear, Lady Okan?

You must not get involved with that child.

It may seem pitiful, but leave him alone.

If you don't, there's no telling what misfortune will come your way.

You shouldn't doubt my words.

This boy can't be...

Little boy!

Little boy! Where are you going?

Little boy! Wait!

I see...

I see.

You understood what Lady Yabume said about you.

That's why you tried to run away.

So that you won't give me any trouble, right?

Such a poor child!

Such a poor child!

Lone Wolf and Cub

It feels good, doesn't it?

You haven't bathed in a long time, huh?

Yeah.

All right.

Here. Use this to wipe yourself up.

This belonged to my late son, Taichi,

but I'm sure it'll fit perfectly on you.

I'll wash these for you. I'm sure they'll be dry by tomorrow.

The rice porridge is ready.

Hey, kid, hurry up and eat some.

You can sit right there.

Come on.

Oh, he's a well-disciplined boy.

Come now. You can eat as much as you like.

Eat until you're full.

Here you go.

You must've been hungry.

Go ahead and eat.

We prepared lots of food.

I wonder where he's from.

I mean, what is his parent doing, leaving a child like this all alone?

You know what?

Let's just keep him here for a while.

It feels like Taichi has come back from the dead.

But you know...

But you know... It's all right.

It's all right.

Let him stay.

He's cute and has very good manners.

Here. Eat some more. Come on.

Go on and eat some more.

Come on.

There we go.

There it goes again. You're so careless.

What if the house catches fire?

Did you say something?

Jeez. He should just give up such a useless habit.

But that's the only thing he enjoys...

What's wrong? You want some more?

Yeah!

All right.

Eat a lot and grow up fast.

I'll give you a lot more food.

Eat until you're full.

There.

Daddy...

Well, Grandpa, we have to get going.

Bye.

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

There, there.

Old man Gen.

You must get rid of him immediately!

What did this boy do?

I told Lady Okan the same thing last night.

This boy was born under a very fearful star.

If you keep him around, he will bring misfortune to all of you.

You must get rid of him at once!

It can't be. He's just a child.

You still don't understand!

Lady Yabume! What are you doing?

Listen to me, old man Gen.

Take a good look!

The sight of blood does not scare him!

Lady Yabume!

This boy has lived through bloodshed and has also smelled blood.

He is not moved at all, since he has witnessed countless corpses.

He clearly has the eyes of death.

Get out!

Get out and leave!

Begone, evil spirit!

Begone, evil spirit!

Boy with the eyes of death, go away!

Begone, evil spirit! Begone, evil spirit!

Begone, evil spirit! Begone, evil spirit!

Begone, evil spirit! Begone, evil spirit!

Begone, evil spirit!

Kayo!

It's dangerous!

Let me go!

Kayo! Kayo!

No! You must not!

Kayo!

Kayo!

Fire!

Tomekichi!

Yeah?

It's your house! Your house is on fire!

Kayo! Kayo!

Okayo?

Grandpa!

Where's Okayo?

Grandpa!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Kayo... Where's Kayo?

Kayo! Kayo!

Okan! Okan!

Kayo!

Kayo!

Frightening... How frightening!

That boy has cursed us!

Where is that boy?

You're still there?

It's him!

Get rid of this child!

Your house burned down because of his curse!

If you don't get rid of him, he will bring misfortune to the entire village!

Kayo!

Kayo!

Kayo!

Kayo! You're safe!

You're safe!

Kayo!

You're safe!

But what's Kayo doing here?

Who brought her here?

Kayo was inside the house.

Somebody got her out...

You saved Kayo?

Was it you?

Little boy! Wait!

Little boy!

Daddy!
