1
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:25,050
By the time you get
the Book of Omens rigged up...

2
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:27,380
Mumm-Ra will have conquered
the planet.

3
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,390
Never. Rush. Genius.

4
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:36,400
There. Fire it up.

5
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,750
We're gonna be here a while.

6
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,580
I just hope your brother is having
more luck finding supplies.

7
00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:22,110
I've heard stories about towns like this.
Just never seen one before.

8
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,320
Don't worry, Snarf. We'll get what
we need for the tank and leave.

9
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,450
Think you could lend a hand,
friend?

10
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:42,600
Up here. I seem to have snagged
myself again.

11
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:45,460
What are you...?
Uh, who are you?

12
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,470
Just a drifter, I suppose.

13
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,380
Thanks for the assist.

14
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,090
Maybe you can return the favor.
I'm looking for supplies.

15
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:14,530
Well, find them somewhere else.

16
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,860
This is a swordsmen's town,
stranger, and they duel for keeps.

17
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,130
Leave before it's too late.

18
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:25,270
Or don't. I don't care.

19
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:28,870
I can handle myself all right.

20
00:02:29,050 --> 00:02:31,670
Heh, heh.
This town loves guys like you.

21
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:37,380
Swaggering around with your
fancy sword, thinking you can't lose.

22
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,450
But you will.

23
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:41,420
They all do.

24
00:02:41,590 --> 00:02:43,860
This is more than a fancy sword.

25
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:47,490
It's the Sword of Omens,
and with it, I never lose.

26
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:48,830
Just like I said.

27
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,430
Take my advice
and blow on out of here.

28
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,630
Or don't. I don't care.

29
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,340
He was strange.

30
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:49,990
A Thunderian schilling, eh?

31
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,990
I'm afraid we don't deal
with antiques.

32
00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:56,830
Thunderian coins were once
the most prized in the land.

33
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,960
And now they are relics
of a fallen empire.

34
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,040
So, what am I gonna do
for money?

35
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:06,840
What everyone else here does.
Sword competition.

36
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,850
Wanna bet they've never seen
a sword like this?

37
00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:29,320
The Great Olekan...

38
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:33,370
its blade forged in the lava pits
of Mount Tiramabu.

39
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:36,670
Witness its awesome power.

40
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,050
Nice. But nothing compares
to my sword.

41
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:55,420
The gods themselves
fear its edge.

42
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:57,490
Behold.

43
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:15,500
The wind, the trees, the morning dew
on a delicate orchid.

44
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,050
They all tremble before
my beauty of the blade of Kurokai.

45
00:05:26,690 --> 00:05:29,220
Is there no one else who
will accept the challenge?

46
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:34,350
I accept.

47
00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:37,500
Hmm. Never seen him before.

48
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Do you have anything to say?

49
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:44,430
Only to the other competitors.

50
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:46,740
You're all vying
for second place.

51
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,790
Where do I get my money?

52
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:44,260
Now, that should cover it.

53
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:46,830
An impressive victory.

54
00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:52,830
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm the Duelist.

55
00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:55,640
You, my friend,
have something I desire.

56
00:06:56,050 --> 00:06:57,950
Sorry, Snarf's not for sale.

57
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,920
Your sword against my best blade.
Winner takes all.

58
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:09,420
Not interested. I proved
I've got the best sword in town.

59
00:07:09,590 --> 00:07:10,920
Indeed.

60
00:07:11,090 --> 00:07:14,430
The Sword of Omens
is legendary even in these parts.

61
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,930
But it's not your blade
that needs to prove itself.

62
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:19,660
It's you.

63
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,430
I said no.

64
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,330
A wise decision.

65
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:27,000
Perhaps if the last owner of that sword
shared your cowardice...

66
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,110
he'd still be alive.

67
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,110
You're on.

68
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,550
Might as well hand over
your best sword right now.

69
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,050
The town square. High noon.

70
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,050
You sure got guts.

71
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:43,060
The Duelist is a legend
in these parts.

72
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,060
Those swords on his back...

73
00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:49,390
trophies from all those
who have fought him and lost.

74
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:52,130
He is without
conscience or morals.

75
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,400
And he will not stop
until his thirst is slaked.

76
00:07:56,570 --> 00:08:02,100
Now he wants your sword.
And it will be his.

77
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,270
Whiskers.

78
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:22,870
Run? I'm no coward, Snarf.

79
00:08:23,030 --> 00:08:26,130
Besides, someone needs
to teach that guy a lesson.

80
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,600
He may be tough...

81
00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:33,340
but nothing the Duelist has in his
scabbard can beat the Sword of Omens.

82
00:08:33,510 --> 00:08:35,780
There's that ego kicking in again.

83
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:38,280
Mind helping me down?

84
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:39,940
Drifter.

85
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040
I know what you're gonna tell me.
I shouldn't have accepted his challenge.

86
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,020
Why would I care what you do?

87
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:48,280
You're the one who's going
to lose his sword, not me.

88
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:51,660
You know, I can swing steel
a lot better than you think.

89
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,060
You could've fooled me
with those moves.

90
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:57,290
You couldn't even
split this reed.

91
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:58,700
You're crazy.

92
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:01,070
Did you see what this sword
did to that boulder?

93
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,870
If I only had your spirit.

94
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,510
But the fight left me long ago.

95
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,980
How about I give you
three swings?

96
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:11,210
I'll do it in one.

97
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:25,490
That's one.

98
00:09:25,660 --> 00:09:28,570
You could've warned me first,
but you're impatient, I can tell.

99
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,300
Two.

100
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:37,340
There is such a thing
as trying too hard.

101
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:39,840
That's why I prefer
not trying at all.

102
00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:51,180
Well, that was more than three,
but I don't care.

103
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,090
I made my point.

104
00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:56,080
There was a point?

105
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,620
Willows are weak.
Yet they bind other wood.

106
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,600
Just some advice.
Take it or leave it.

107
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:06,260
A weakness can be turned
into a strength.

108
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,070
A lesson you won't understand
until it's too late.

109
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,110
You're just like he was.

110
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:14,100
The Duelist?

111
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:15,670
No.

112
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:20,250
The original owner of the sword
the Duelist now uses.

113
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:23,390
<i>The Sword of Hatanzo.</i>

114
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:29,550
<i>Forged by a man who some called
the greatest sword-maker of all time.</i>

115
00:10:36,530 --> 00:10:38,560
<i>The sword-maker
lived a lonely life...</i>

116
00:10:38,740 --> 00:10:42,970
<i>devoted only to one thing,
his craft.</i>

117
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,410
<i>But this particular blade
was more than a sword.</i>

118
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:52,850
<i>It was a work of art.</i>

119
00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:57,420
<i>His most prized possession
and proudest achievement.</i>

120
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,960
<i>The Sword of Hatanzo.</i>

121
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,820
<i>Like you, he felt a sense
of oneness with the weapon.</i>

122
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,060
<i>With it, he was unstoppable.</i>

123
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:10,100
<i>He thought.</i>

124
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:12,740
<i>Word spread of
the legendary blade.</i>

125
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:18,100
<i>One day, the Duelist appeared
and challenged the sword-maker to a fight.</i>

126
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:22,610
<i>The sword-maker
accepted the challenge.</i>

127
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,680
<i>In his hubris...</i>

128
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:27,440
<i>the sword-maker believed
the strength of his sword...</i>

129
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,850
<i>would overcome his
weakness as a warrior.</i>

130
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:48,010
<i>He was mistaken.</i>

131
00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:51,040
<i>And it cost him the one thing
he valued most.</i>

132
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:54,980
<i>To know that his work of art,
his masterpiece...</i>

133
00:11:55,150 --> 00:11:59,640
<i>would be in the hands of a villain
like the Duelist crushed him.</i>

134
00:12:01,890 --> 00:12:03,650
<i>He never made another sword...</i>

135
00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:06,760
<i>while the Duelist went on
to become the greatest swordsman...</i>

136
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,120
<i>to ever walk the land.</i>

137
00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:12,020
<i>Whatever
became of the sword-maker?</i>

138
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,220
<i>Who knows?</i>

139
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,130
<i>Some say he just drifts around,
blowing wherever the wind takes him.</i>

140
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:20,470
A shell of the man he once was.

141
00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:26,440
You.

142
00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:29,600
I'm fighting against
a sword you forged.

143
00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:34,080
I need your help.
How can I beat the Sword of Hatanzo?

144
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,650
How can I beat it?

145
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:38,910
You can't. Understand?

146
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:41,320
Nobody can.

147
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,170
Punctual. I like that.

148
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:10,310
Whenever you're ready.

149
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:12,720
Whenever you are.

150
00:13:12,890 --> 00:13:14,190
Fine.

151
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:15,750
Draw.

152
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,328
What have I done?

153
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,940
Without the Sword of Omens,
our mission is doomed.

154
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,410
I've got to win it back.

155
00:14:15,270 --> 00:14:18,400
Can you believe it?
Stuck again.

156
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,710
Could you help me down?

157
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,180
Or maybe you should
just leave me up here.

158
00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:25,710
Either way, I don't care.

159
00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:32,520
I need you to make me a sword.

160
00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:36,220
So my warnings were just a breeze
blowing through your ears?

161
00:14:36,390 --> 00:14:39,160
I didn't think you'd listen,
but if you expect me to help...

162
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:42,200
you haven't been
paying attention.

163
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,230
We both lost something precious.
But we can get it back.

164
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,230
Sounds like too much work.

165
00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:52,710
Fine. Then I'll do it myself.

166
00:15:07,690 --> 00:15:09,390
What do you think you're doing?

167
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,260
You may be content to flop around
feeling sorry for yourself, but I'm not.

168
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:16,220
I'll make 100 more swords
if I have to.

169
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,260
I'm going to defeat him.

170
00:15:18,430 --> 00:15:21,770
Not that I care, but you're doing it
all wrong, you need to...

171
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:24,770
Thanks, but I can handle it.

172
00:15:24,940 --> 00:15:27,670
You don't give up easily,
do you?

173
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:31,510
Here, let me show you.

174
00:15:49,630 --> 00:15:51,190
Done yet?

175
00:15:51,370 --> 00:15:53,030
No.

176
00:16:00,910 --> 00:16:03,240
- How about now?
- No.

177
00:16:10,890 --> 00:16:12,510
How much longer?

178
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:14,050
Is it ready?

179
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:15,850
No!

180
00:16:24,530 --> 00:16:28,700
It is done.
That is, if you still want it.

181
00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:38,250
It's perfect.

182
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,480
He doesn't stand a chance.

183
00:16:48,290 --> 00:16:51,450
Lion-O, a strong sword
doesn't make you strong.

184
00:16:51,630 --> 00:16:54,360
Remember,
willows are weak, and yet...

185
00:16:54,530 --> 00:16:57,830
They bind other wood.
Yeah, I know, I know.

186
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:14,970
Huh?

187
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,450
You might recognize
the craftsmanship.

188
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:20,750
Impossible. It's a fake.

189
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,950
He hasn't made a sword in years.

190
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:25,490
I came out of retirement.

191
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:27,960
I didn't have much else
to do today anyway.

192
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,470
I challenge you to a rematch.

193
00:17:31,630 --> 00:17:35,230
But this time,
for all your swords.

194
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:37,470
That's quite a request...

195
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,870
from someone who has only
a single sword to offer in return.

196
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,210
In addition to your blade,
you must also put up your life.

197
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,380
Deal.

198
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,410
You can't beat me.

199
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,920
Then why do you look so scared?

200
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,570
No.

201
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,270
The sword is lost
and victory is still mine.

202
00:19:25,050 --> 00:19:27,780
Willows are weak, Lion-O.

203
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,530
I understand now.

204
00:19:46,770 --> 00:19:48,290
Power alone is rigid.

205
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,300
But if you can bend with the wind,
you'll never break.

206
00:20:12,430 --> 00:20:15,060
You knew that sword would break.

207
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:17,860
It took years to make
the Sword of Hatanzo.

208
00:20:18,030 --> 00:20:21,130
I made that piece of
junk in an afternoon.

209
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:26,070
You already had what
you needed to win in here.

210
00:20:51,770 --> 00:20:55,900
You've had your last duel.
Begone.

211
00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:15,390
Thank you for everything.

212
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,780
No, thank you.

213
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,390
I haven't felt
this alive in years.

214
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,590
I finally have a purpose again.

215
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,390
Returning these swords
to their rightful owners.

216
00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:49,920
What in the name of Thundera
took you so blasted long?

217
00:21:52,590 --> 00:21:54,430
I was, um...

218
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,930
Off enjoying the breeze
while we do all the hard work.

219
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,070
- Something like that.
- Huh?
