FUJI Junko

Directed by SUZUKI Norifumi

In the 38th year of Meiji (1905)...

Japan, just a small country in Asia, defeats the world power Russia.

“Mission accomplished in Ryojun...

the enemy Gen. Stessel meets our Gen. Nogi...

where is it taking place?”

Well, what times these are.

Oh, this is about the size of Gen. Stessel's.

Gen. Nogi must have felt discouraged.

Come in!

Excuse me.

Boss.

Hansuke.

All members of the Kumatora Family are lined up on the top deck.

Boss on deck!

Roll call! Numbers!

One! Two! Three! Four! Five!

Six! Seven. Eight! Nine.

Tighten your lips!

Stand up straight!

Why that spacey look on your face?

Look alert and handsome just like me.

Yes.

Hey, hey, your weenie button is undone.

Listen, all of you.

Japan was able to defeat the world power Russia...

not only because of its army...

but also because...

of these three war heroes who passed away...

and the rest of us yakuza who risked our lives to support the army.

We're no longer the small-time operation that we used to be.

We are the Kumatora Family of Japan.

We'll receive a big welcome by all citizens of Japan.

As we approach arrival at Port Kobe...

how shall we respond to the cheering crowd that will greet us?

Let me show you how.

First you stick your chest out like this.

Second raise your hand.

Now bring the hand to your cheek this way.

Then, smile, smile, smile.

Say, “Thank you, thank you. Good work, good work.

“Thank you and good work.”

That's how.

SILK HAT BOSS Silk Hat no Oyabun

KOBE

Banzail

Boss! - Brother, welcome home!

It's the Manager and Sister Kyoko!

Boss, I don't see any fireworks or parade.

What the hell is that? Is that our big welcome?

Shut up!

You don't need to make that face any more!

We're home!

Brother, welcome home. Good job.

Boss, you look better than I'd expected.

I'm overwhelmed with joy!

Kohige.

What's that under your nose?

You see, Boss, it's a moustache.

Idiot!

You're a mere manager.

How can you wear a bigger moustache than your boss?

Listen, the moustache is the trademark of the Kumatora.

I'm the general and you're the platoon leader, so to speak.

How dare you, growing a fine moustache like the emperor's?

Go shave it off now!

I'm sorry.

Kyoko!

First of all, why is no one here to greet us?

You know we went out to represent Japanese yakuza...

and worked hard for our country.

Showing up is the least they could've done.

You're right.

When Boss Chindai came back the other day...

there were people overflowing the boardwalk.

What?

So, he received such a big welcome.

Japan must act as the leader of East Asia from now on.

The army cannot achieve this goal alone.

We need support from the civilians...

especially the yakuza folks like Tanigaki Denji.

I'd like to express my gratitude...

and earnestly hope for his continuing support.

That's all.

Damn him, that bastard's hogging the success all to his damn self.

Boss, let"s make a fool out of him in public.

We can't let this slide.

Don't worry.

Let's hear what Chindai has to say.

Well, gentlemen...

I, Tanigaki Denjiro, am humbled, grateful and moved to tears...

by It. Col. Kito's extremely generous words.

As you know...

during Southwest Suguru War, we served under It. Tani...

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Your hat, sir.

I am Kumatora the Silk Hat Boss.

-...XI will gladly give for the sake of my country.

To strengthen Japan's defense power...

I expect the amount of work for us shall increase greatly.

Please have trust in my ability to handle the task...

as I proved in the Russo-Japanese War.

Gentlemen, I am Otsubo Komazo of the Akauma Family...

that oversees Matsushima, Osaka.

The yakuza in Kansai like myself should look up to Mr. Tanigaki...

and do good for the country.

Let me humbly propose a toast.

Come on, fill up everyone's glass.

Please go ahead.

Now, in celebration of Tanigaki Denji's success, cheers!

Boss Kumatora, banzai! Banzai! Banzai!

Ladies and gentlemen...

Thank you very much for holding this party for a man like me.

Mr. Kuma...

...no, Kumatora!

What on earth are you thinking?

Chindai, no need to blow smoke from your ears like that.

You and I worked together back on continental Asia.

Except, while we were ducking under flying bullets...

you were ducking between women's legs, so I've heard.

Are you challenging me?

No, I'm not!

I just want everyone to know that Japan won the war...

because of neither you nor me...

but because of the work of the nameless laborers.

We're leaving now. Thanks for the feast.

Brother!

Kumatora, how dare you ruin this welcome party!

Get them!

Boss, let's get them!

Mr. Kito, please get out.

This is embarrassing.

Very sorry. Well, please.

What the hell are you doing?

It's your fault.

You messed up the party. We're losing business.

I'm very sorry.

Anyway, what a tough woman you are.

I like you.

Say, would you like to sleep with me tonight?

A geisha from Horie wouldn't do such a thing.

Oh, is that so?

I like her. Find out where she lives.

Yes, I will.

Kuma, c'mon, just you and me.

Why not.

Stop it!

O'Takal!

Mr. Kumatora and Mr. Chindai...

I will mediate this fight.

Gentlemen, I'm O'Taka the Festival Music of the Dojima Family of Osaka.

Mr. Kumasaka Torakichi has been like family to me.

I'm sorry we disturbed your party.

Please forgive us in my honor.

Dojima...

We aren't satisfied.

You're not the only leader in Osaka.

Elite executives from all of Kansai are present here.

What Kansai?

I only see your subordinates and sly tricksters playing up to the army.

What did you say?

I'm going to kill you if you ever challenge me again.

Well, I'll look away this time.

I suggest you look with your eyes open instead.

OSAKA

MATSUSHIMA RED-LIGHT DISTRICT

Attention, everyone!

Numbers!

One! Two! Three! Four! Five!

Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve!

We're missing one.

But Mr. President...

There are ten of you in total.

What are you talking about, granny?

Look closely, three more right here.

Why, aren't they ashes?

That's right.

Eek, how creepy!

Hey, granny...

How could you say that when you've got a face like that?

You're half becoming ashes yourself.

How dare you.

I used to be called Snow White and was quite popular in Yoshiwara.

All right. Then, she will fill in as Number 13.

What?

C'mon, get all of them lined up in the hallway.

Everyone, pull up the kimono!

This one's a veteran.

About 36, I guess.

Gasp, this one's got a strong odor!

All right. Oh, here's a nice one. Okay.

This one's a wrong size.

Okay, I got it!

Everyone, hold out your hands.

I'll give one to each of you.

Do a good job!

Thanks.

Why are you holding out two hands?

One for him.

Idiot! You can't put it over a plaque.

You do it alone.

Boss has the women lined up by their age. I wonder what for?

Brother, of course there's only one reason.

He's paring up the younger one with a younger one.

So, I'm getting this girl.

Fool, she's definitely for me. Right?

Don't be stupid, I'm younger than you are.

What are you fighting over? Attention!

Listen to me speak.

I don't discriminate my subordinates according to their ranks.

One's gotta be fair. Understood?

Members of the Kumatora Group, line up by age.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

But I thought...

The younger ones over there. Hurry up!

Hurry up.

Hey, I'm a little older than you. Move over this way.

Go on, move over.

This is the truly fair way.

Now, everyone, attack!

The horn!

How old are you?

14.

14?

Listen, then, you don't have to force yourself.

Do you want to play cards instead?

Uncle, don't underestimate me.

Let me tell you something.

I'm O'Tama the Thousand Men Killer, pretty well knowvwn in Matsushima.

Come on, look now, pay later.

Have a taste and see how you like it.

A taste?

Does it feel good?

Feels good.

But don't you still wet your bed?

Oh, I forgot. Before we go on, let me see yours.

See mine? My what?

What are you doing? What...

It's a cute puppy.

My, what a fine thing!

The first man I've had in 30 years.

Mommy, I'm scared!

Murder!

I feel so good.

I never had it like this.

Uncle, put it in deeper.

Sure, I will.

Like this?

Does it feel good?

O'Tama, there's a big ball of wax. Lots of it.

If you let it build up like this...

you could lose your hearing some day.

Boss!

Kohige?

Come in.

What's going on?

Keep it down. She just fell asleep.

So, how did you do?

Well, it was just ridiculous.

What do you mean?

She's one tough cookie. She coldly kicked me out.

So, where does she live?

She's a geisha from Horie, Osaka. Her name is Choko.

A geisha from Horie called Choko.

She's a real beauty.

You see, Kohige, I've got one more thing to look forward to now.

We have decided to build the new fortress at these three locations.

Each one of them will be bigger than the old one in Ryojun.

Hon. Matsumura will approve the plan in the next few days...

at which time the details will be announced at the Osaka Military HQ.

As before, we will likely contract a civilian agent...

to procure and transport laborers and food supplies.

Mr. Kito, I hope Matsumura won't be a problem?

Yeah, Matsumura doesn't have real power.

Especially since we're planning to hire a workforce...

in your home territory Kyushu, the situation is in your favor.

Yes.

Again, thank you for your help in advance.

But you see, Denji...

I don't care if you bump up the figures for the transportation fee...

but just be sure to get the head count of laborers right.

After all, it is crucial construction that Japan's defense power depends on.

Mr. Kito, I'm Japanese too.

I understand my responsibility.

In fact, we won the Russo-Japanese War, didn't we?

I guess this match is his.

Choko is impatiently waiting for you.

Impatiently?

The one you've been after.

Enjoy.

Come in with me.

Please let go of my hand. You're hurting me.

Don't play hard to get. You know the deal.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Big sister told me to bring you the yukata, so I did.

Just do as I say.

Stop it!

Damn you! How dare you.

Because you've got bad manners.

So much for being a lieutenant colonel!

Hey, Choko!

Wait!

Why, it's you!

That's right.

It's Kumatora.

Choko, I came all the way just to see you.

Please.

You look pale... What's the matter?

What the hell is that? This isn't the bathroom.

Hey, you, hand over that woman.

What arrogant attitude, you bastard!

How dare you call me a bastard!

I'm a military man, It. Col. Kito!

So what.

I'm Kumatora of Japan.

How rude of you!

Don't make me laugh.

Isn't it much ruder to run after a lady in underwear?

Right, Choko?

Thanks.

If I could have it my way, your precious part would've been chopped off.

Lieutenant colonel!

Damn you!

How dare you insult the imperial military personnel?

Unforgivable!

Go ahead and shoot if you can.

Let me tell you something.

Russian machineguns couldn't hurt this body of mine..

During the fierce battle on Hill Point 203.

You've got my praise if you succeed in blasting a hole in it.

Oh, you seem to be shaking a lot.

Do you have arthritis at such a young age?

Kumatora!

Yeah, Chindai...

You haven't changed your ways a bit.

It looks like you"re using a woman as bait and doing something shady.

It's gonna catch up with you some day.

Well, Choko, shall we?

Thank you.

Don't stand there with that dumb face.

It's Umegawa Chubei coming through.

What a hateful fellow!

Denji, he's dangerous.

Do something before it's too late.

It feels so good! It was cathartic!

Good evening.

Boss, please come in.

Thanks.

Come in, please. - Choko...

I'm going to go now.

Why?

Boss, you came to woo me, right?

Well, y'see...

Because of what happened, I feel like I'm putting you in a spot.

Not at all.

I'm not going to let you go tonight.

It's all right with you, isn't it?

Well, then, I guess I'll stay for a cup of tea.

Hey, prepare some Sake for us.

It's stuck!

It's a nice house.

Well, then, I'll help myself to some tea.

Welcome.

Please make yourself at home.

Choko, I won't have Sake, just tea.

It's Sake tea.

Sake tea?

You"re so clever!

Boss, please have some.

I'll accept your offer and have a cup.

In this one.

Wow!

Here you are.

That's good.

Boss...

Please sing that song again.

Well, to commemorate our meeting tonight, I will.

Will you be my audience? Then...

I'm sorry! So sorry!

I didn't know. I had no idea.

Why am I always so careless?

Choko, there's no point in saying this when it's already been done...

but I see it was your first time.

Forgive me.

I'm glad that I could give it to someone I like.

Your kind words make me wish I could disappear.

Well, you'll take me as your bride, won't you?

What, bride?

You mean, am I right in thinking it's about being a couple?

You shouldn't.

Choko, you shouldn't be so hasty.

I'm a yakuza after all.

A yakuza could die any time anywhere.

If that happened, you're the one to suffer, you see?

I can't put you through such ordeal.

I won't be able to marry anyone now.

How come?

Why not?

Choko, you can't be so old-fashioned.

There are tons of careless men in this world.

They won't be able to tell if it's new or used if you don't tell them.

Don't you think so?

When you find a man who can make you happy, marry him.

They can't tell if you don't tell them. They can't!

Boss, it's here.

Call them.

Hello? Is this the Yamamoto residence?

Hello?

Mr. Yamamoto isn't home.

He went some place far and hasn't been back.

Mr. Yamamoto is here.

What? He's passed away?

Is that right?

He served as a laborer during the Russo-Japanese War...

and died honorably.

I'm Kumasaka Torakichi of the Kumasaka Group...

who hired him for the work.

I wanted to see his family.

Boss, you came too late.

His wife has gone to the Matsushima Red-Light District to work.

I'm taking care of their only daughter.

She's been ill since yesterday and we're having a hard time.

She has such a high fever.

She also has some kind of rash.

She looks just like my daughter.

Thank you for taking good care of the girl on her father's behalf.

But why didn't you call the doctor for her sooner?

Well, Boss, we don't have the money.

You don't have the money.

I got it.

Hey, Hansuke, we need to take her to the hospital.

Quick, call the rickhaw.

We'll find one. Please pick her up.

Hansuke, hurry up and find a richshaw.

Hey, I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry.

But we have a sick child. Can we borrow the ride?

How dare you talk to It. Matsumura like that!

It doesn't matter if you're a lieutenant or a general.

Nothing is more precious than the life of a child! Let him off!

What the hell are you doing?

Sir, very sorry for the inconvenience, but a child could be dying.

Let me borrow it.

Boss, you can't! - Shut up, you!

Hurry up, get in.

Hansuke, come on!

We're in trouble! He's messing with the wrong people.

I'm sorry, very sorry!

Boss!

Doctor, how is she?

Well, she's got measles.

Measles?

Well, she won't die from it.

Every child goes through it once.

Oh, it's a children's sickness. Is that right?

I'm relieved.

What a poor girl! You've got no mom or dad.

Don't say that.

It's all my fault.

I'm responsible that my laborers went through such hardships.

Boss, we're in trouble!

That's him!

Was that you?

Are you the one who insulted the lieutenant and beat up his soldiers?

What?

I'm asking you if you beat up the soldiers.

What's the problem?

We're taking you to the military police for investigation.

Kumatora, I'm Matsumura of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

How's the child doing?

Did the rickshaw help?

The truth is, I was hoping to meet you while in Osaka.

I had heard about you...

but I see now that you truly are as hot-blooded as they say.

Not at all.

I hear that you as a civilian did far greater a job...

than any soldier did in the continent.

Gen. Nogi specifically mentioned you in his letter to me.

Gen. Nogi did?

Here's the letter. Would you like to read it?

Yes, I would. Thank you.

Hey, it's upside down.

Oh, is that so?

I see, he says nice things.

He's great.

You can't read, can you.

Not at all.

Look...

This here, these characters are your name.

Oh, is that so? - It says...

“Fellow fighter Kumatora.”

Fellow fighter?

Gen. Nogi called me his fellow fighter?

Is that so?

A great man is different from the rest.

He watched our work.

I'm glad I worked for the army.

I'm sure the laborers who died will happily go to heaven.

Mr. Kumatora, this is strictly confidential...

but in order to strengthen our defense power on the continent side...

the military needs to build fortresses...

on the Ryoto Peninsula near Port Ryojun.

We need to have 3,000 laborers and their food supplies...

shipped over there within a month.

Headquarters is leaning toward hiring the Chindai Group of Kyushu...

whom they have a long history with.

I want you to take it on.

Japan's future depends on this operation.

It's not simply about the level of engineering technique.

It requires enthusiastic spirit of patriotism.

I have high hopes for you.

Mr. Matsumura, thanks for telling me.

Thank you. I, Kumatora, will put my life at stake and see through the project.

I see.

Then, Mr. Kumatora...

All arrangements must be made in Chindai's homebase, Kyushu.

Expect some hardships.

Yes. I understand the situation quite well.

Mr. Matsumura, I have a favor to ask of you.

What is it?

Well, could you let me have Gen. Nogi's letter?

I'd like to wear it under my belt as a good luck charm.

Fair enough. It's a gift to you.

Is it?

Thank you.

Who are you?

I'm Kumatora of Shikoku.

You bastards must be Chindai's assassins.

What dirty tricks he uses.

Come at me!

Wait.

Too soon to relax.

I'll kill you now.

You're mighty tall, aren't you?

What's that? Karate?

You don't scare me with that.

Let me show you my karate.

“Empty hand”.

Damn you.

You're going to die.

I used the back of the blade.

You won't die.

Next time, it will be for real.

Hey, run!

Boss Kumatora, are you hurt?

Who the hell are you? Don't meddle in my business!

I was just taking a nap.

Oh, a nap in the evening? Very nice.

Who the hell are you?

Oh, excuse me.

I'm a young man of the Yano Family of Hitoyoshi, Kyushu.

My name is Iba Shinjiro.

So, you're with O'Ryu the Red Peony!

Yes.

I heard you were returning from the continent.

Our boss is traveling...

so I came to greet you in her place.

Forgive me for being late.

Of course.

She's a fine boss.

Of course she's got a fine young man like you under her.

Thank you.

You see, I'm going to Kyushu myself.

I'll finally get to see her after a long while.

I really miss her.

By the way, am I right in guessing you're in love with her too?

Hey, Shinjiro, don't fall in love with her.

Hey, you heard me?

She's unattainable.

She's the red peony that no one can pick.

Loving her will only make you suffer.

Love is patience.

Idiot! No excuse for failing!

I told you to make sure you corner him in and finish him right there.

Mr. Kito, can't you use your power to do something about it?

Why don't you influence the Minister?

We've supplied you with enough operation fund.

It's too late.

The decision has been made.

Chindai and Kumatora will split the work 50/50...

both with the laborers and food supplies.

What? What a pain.

It makes it hard for us to manipulate the numbers with that idiot around.

No need to worry.

I'm Chindai Denji.

I simply won't let Kumatora do what he wants in Kyushu.

Listen, you all!

Never ever give in to the Chindai, no matter what.

We can't embarrass Gen. Nogi and It. Matsumura...

and devalue our own esteem as the Kumatora Family.

Got it?

Mr. Kumatora, you never seem to learn.

What big responsibility you've taken on.

O'Taka, I had no choice.

Nogi and I are pals, you see.

I can't turn down his request.

Everyone, I'll show you the Kumatora's family treasure.

Kohige, come over here.

This is a letter from Gen. Nogi.

Take a good look.

No, don't come too close, stay away.

It says...

“My fellow fighter Kumatora, thank you for your work.”

That's what it says.

Wow! Boss is something, isn't he?

Boss.

Oh, hello, Boss Dojima.

Welcome, pretty lady. Come here, come here.

Good work.

Come here.

How did it go?

Well, her mother isn't in Matsushima.

It's possible the Akauma Family took her to Kyushu.

Satsuki, don't worry.

Uncle will find your mom, okay?

Boss, you've got a load of work to take care of.

Let me handle the search for her mother.

Mr. Kumatora...

Both Chindai and Otsubo are parasites...

that suck the blood out of Japanese souls.

You have to hang in there.

O'Taka.

Just watch me.

KYUSHU

Get the laborers out of here!

It's for the country! Save the rice! Save the rice!

Hello! Hello, Boss!

They got us again.

Where are the laborers?

We took the injured to the doctor.

But all the others got scared and they all left.

Boss! Boss!

Are you alright, Chuji?

Chuji! - Boss!

They attacked us.

The rice we secured isn't good any more.

It's the Chindai Family. For sure.

Fool! No time to cry, idiot!

Damn it, we've gotta get them!

Boss, let's do it! - Let's attack them!

Wait a moment.

Our guest...

What?

He went to the Chindai's to settle with them.

You mean Shinjiro?

Boss Chindai...

Your tricks are so dirty thatl had to come to settle with you.

What?

Ready yourself.

Boss, it's him! He's the one who stopped us.

Stop it!

Kick his ass!

He's a find boy, but we need to show an example.

We'll hang him!

Chindai, don't move.

Drop the guns if you want your boss to live.

Hurry up!

Do as he says.

Chindai, I'll let you live until our job for the country is done.

Shinjiro.

Boss...

I'm sorry.

That's enough.

Go back to work now.

Please, punch me in the face.

I beg you.

All right.

Boss!

What is it?

Boss, you have a visitor.

A visitor?

A lady from a far away place.

A lady?

Is she pretty?

She's a top notch beauty!

It must be her! It must be O'Ryu!

O'Ryu!

Wait for me, Boss!

O'Ryu!

O'Ryu!

O'Ryu!

O'Cho, it's you.

What happened, dear?

Hang on, come on, dear.

I'm not surprised.

We haven't seen each other for a long time.

You must have fainted with joy.

To the contrary, he's disappointed.

Idiot!

Why do I get slapped?

You'll never understand the love between husband and wife.

Boss, we just can't seem to get enough laborers.

We've stalked the main roads but no luck.

Chindai's men are threatening everyone.

Boss?

Boss, you're sweating. Are you feeling ill?

You need to take care of yourself right now.

Shut up.

I'm imperishable. I won't be fired.

Kumatora, what's going on here?

The first ship is scheduled to depart in three days.

Well, that means we still have three days.

But this doesn't look like you can do it.

You see, it's a matter of national security.

You can't wait until the last minute to find out you can't do it.

Perhaps it was too big a job for you after all.

Say, Kumatora, how about withdrawing while you can?

It'll be a big problem if you wait too long.

I suggest that you leave it all to the Chindai Family.

Their first ship is leaving tomorrow.

They should be able to catch up with the schedule in no time.

Kumatora, it's for the sake of the country.

Just what the hell are you?

A bodyguard for the Chindai Family?

What are you saying? I'm the supervisor with the Ministry of Military Affairs.

That's news to me.

I see your money trickling down from the Chindai big house.

How dare you!

Hold it.

Kumatora, make sure your first ship departs in three days.

Without fail.

I understand.

Any delay and your contract will be invalid.

There will be consequences. Got it?

You too don't waste your young life in vain.

Three days from now.

Agreed.

Uncle!

Oh, Satsuki.

What are you doing here by yourself?

Mr. Kumatora, it's me.

O'Takal!

I came to see how you're doing.

Guys, hurry and bring them in!

Good rice comes not from Kyushu nor Tohoku...

but from Dojima of Osaka. Remember that.

You're right.

O'Taka, thank you.

Listen, all.

We're able to eat beautiful white rice tonight, all thanks to Boss Dojima.

Be grateful.

Thank you for the food!

Well, it's been a long time since we had a beef pot.

It's all because of you, sister.

Thank you very much. - Eat well.

Sister, I guess your honeymoon will be in the continent.

Stop it. Go on, eat up.

Let's have some beef!

Boss!

There's no more beef. Where's the beef?

Don't cry, piggy. I didn't get any either.

I'll get you some right now.

Boss...

Brother! - Hansuke!

Hansuke!

Let go of me! Let go of me! I've got something to tell Boss.

Let go of him.

Boss...

I'd like to report to you that Satsuki's mom...

is in the cellar of Chindai's boat.

Along with the laborers, they're shipping off lots of women.

Those poor souls.

Please go and rescue them at once.

That's the end of my report.

Brother!

Blood!

Don't be scared.

Have you been taken by the Akauma Family?

I'm on your side. I'm Boss Kumatora from Shikoku.

Don't worry.

Is it true? Are you going to rescue us?

It's true. It's true.

We were told there's a good clean job for us in the continent.

We were lied to.

They said we could make as much as 100 yen in half a year.

Boss, listen to this. So much for a clean job.

We're going to be fed to the laborers.

Boss, get us out of here right now!

Don't be violent. Don't be violent. Keep it down.

I'll help you. I will, so keep it down, okay?

Listen, is the wife of a man named Yamamoto here by any chance?

Shinobu is her name. Anyone by that name?

That's me.

Are you the mother of Satsuki?

Boss, you know about Satsuki?

Quite well, actually. She's living with me right now.

How is...?

Boss, that's the Akauma.

Please hide yourself. Quick, hide yourself now.

How can I? You're all women.

I can't hide under your legs. What to do?

Boss!

Over there. Quick!

Isn't this the toilet?

I'm going back to Osaka!

Let me go! - Shut up!

Damn youl! Liar! Devil!

Listen, this boat leaves tomorrow.

You'd better give up and behave well for our own sake.

Got it?

Boss! Are you alright, Boss?

Thanks. Thanks.

Uncle!

O Tama!

Uncle!

What's wrong?

You look pale. Are you feeling ill?

I'm fine.

You are? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'm glad. You're coming with us.

I'll go to the continent or wherever as long as you're with me.

Listen, everyone, keep quiet and be quick.

Once you"re off the boat, you're free.

Be careful! Be careful!

Kumal! You stepped right into my trap!

We caught you stealing red-handed.

You deserve to get killed.

Yeah, I came to get all these women out of there.

I was prepared to give my life for it.

Listen, I'll make an opening for you.

Lift up your kimono and run for your life, okay?

O'Tama, you should quit this business.

Uncle!

Okay.

Uncle...

Uncle!

Hold it. Let me do it.

Good boy, stay asleep.

You're O'Ryu the Red Peony!

Indeed, I'm Yano Ryuko of Hitoyoshi.

Chindai...

You have many to beat a single man.

You're the same dirty scoundel you always were.

Shut up!

He's the one who waged a war on us. He's the dirty one here.

Is it really?

Seeing the scene here, it doesn't look like it.

I'll take him home right now.

I'm sure you have no problem with that.

Or would you rather settle it right here?

Boss!

Do what you want!

Boss!

Brother, it's me, Ryuko.

Oh, Sister, it's you!

Brother, forgive me for arriving late.

Don't say that.

I'm happy just to see you.

Thanks.

Brother, you have a terrible fever. You're sick.

What are you talking about?

No way I get sick. See, I'm fine.

Brother! - Dad!

Guys, stand back! You'll make me sicker.

Sis...

Sis...

Brother.

I'm not going to last.

It's not like you to act so weak.

But you see, I'm sick.

I can survive injuries.

Sickness, I can't.

You see, I've been feeling sick lately.

Will you tell me the truth?

What do I have?

My chest... my heart...

Could it be a hernia?

You've got the measles.

Measles? It's contagious.

Keep away from me! Stay away!

It's a disease only children get. So don't worry.

But you're different.

You fainted yesterday because of the fever from the measles.

I see, it's measles.

So, I got it from Satsuki.

I wonder if I'm less handsome now.

Kohige, get me a mirror.

A mirror! Quick, give it to me!

Here.

I can't tell which ones are freckles.

I feel embarrassed!

Brother.

Sister, there's something I want you to read while I'm still alive.

A letter from Gen. Nogi.

There it is.

This is it.

Please read this.

That's my underwear. How embarrassing.

Oh, this is it.

Here, here it is.

In about the middle...

it says “fellow fighter Kumatora”.

Read from around there.

Oh, how embarrassing. What to do?

“My fellow fighter Kumatora...” From here?

Yes.

*...is truly a brave man of strength.

“Without fear of enemy bullets, he completed his mission.

I must say he is the model Japanese man.

“During the battle of Hill Point 203...

“Though he is a civilian, his courage is nothing less than that of any soldier's.

“I'm impressed by his invincible strength.

“Mr. Kumatora is indeed a modern day hero and...”

You truly are a lovable hero.

Sister.

Beautiful, right?

She really is beautiful.

I'm nothing compared to her.

No, well, I was talking about the lights on the port.

Oh, forgive me.

But now I've seen her, I'm ready to give up on him.

Sister...

Stop calling me Sister.

I'm Choko, an Osaka geisha.

Please don't worry about me.

I'm not going to cry over a man.

It's the pride of the Osaka geisha.

Ms Choko...

Please take good care of him. He's finally awake.

But I...

I can rest well knowing that a kind woman like you is by his side.

Boss...

Denjil

I hear Kumatora took the women.

What a shame!

If Matsumura hears about this, you're finished!

Mr. Kito...

You too will be in big trouble, won't you?

What are you talking about?

I'm the supervisor from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

I have nothing to do with it.

But I can tell you how you can get out of this pinch.

Kill off the Kumatora Family and thier associates at once.

Mr. Kito, I'm Chindai Denji.

I'm going to win this time around, no matter what it takes!

Do it.

Boss, let me handle it from here.

You should leave.

I may be half a samurai, but I'll be happy to die for you.

Excuse me!

Shinjiro!

Shinjiro!

What are you doing, dear?

Something's going on at the warehouse. I've gotta be there.

Choko, let me go!

There you are, karate monster!

My gun served me well in the Russo-Japanese War.

Move and you"ll die.

O'Cho!

Choko! Choko!

Hang in there, Choko!

Dear...

Dear...

Was I any help to you?

You were.

Then, will I get my reward?

You will.

I'll give you anything you want.

Sing me that song.

I will.

Listen well.

Choko...

I don't wear the silk hat for a show

I have Joyalty and responsibility in my heart

Living with pride and courage

That will not fade as time goes on

Is the man's straightforward way to go

What's going on?

Piece of junk!

What the hell has he done?

O'Ryu!

Do you think you can be my enemy and survive in Kyushu?

As a Kyushu yakuza, I can't let you live.

Bitch.

Get her!

Sister, are you good?

Brother, let me handle it here. Go and get Chindai.

You're dead.

You're one to talk.

Chindai! Chindai!

Are you going against an imperial soldier?

It's a crime against the Empire!

Wait. Stop!

I'm the supervisor from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Military...

Don't you see my badge?

Bastard, die!

Damn you...

Brother.

Thanks.

Brother, it's Boss Dojima.

She's going to bring the first ship in your place.

I see.

It's O'Taka.

Well, Sister, shall we go now?

Brother, I will come with you.

This is the first time for us to walk together alone.

After all, we are the most beautiful woman and man in all of Japan.
