Who are you?

Kiba

Okaminosuke.

Kiba?

Kiba.

Like these.

Damn...

Are you trying to interrupt the Kazama Dojo's fighting practice?

It's a weird practice

aIso your skiIIs are very soft.

Like this persimmon.

What?:

You, scum... WouId you dare mock our styIe?

It ain't even worth mocking.

Are you known as the WoIf?

They're gone.

Come on, go home.

No, you can't get out Iike this.

Come on, go quickIy back home.

Stop:

I'm happy...

Is she crazy?

Kiba Okaminosuke? SureIy a rogue.

Anyway, I wanted to report it to you.

What fighting styIe did he use?

His styIe... Lai.

He was very skiIIfuI:

Stand up.

- Stand up, Gunbei: - Sensei:

Draw your sword.

Attack me the way he did:

C ome on

Did you understand?

Our Kazama dojo teachings

wiII beat any kind of Lai .

Kiba

I, Ikkaku, wiII kiII you:

- Let's rest here for a whiIe - AIright.

Hey, Iet's take a break.

a t

You can't drink that water:

Why do you butt in?

If you think I am Iying,

you better try that first.

He is right:

This water is from Mount Higasa and it's contaminated with poison.

The farmers who Iived around here Ieft because of that.

Hey, pIease give me water: Contaminated or not,

because I am going to die of thirst in here:

Shut up: What are you compIaining about?

My body is going to crack open very soon:

It's part of your punishment.

Thirst aIIows you to better think about what you've done:

You obey your superiors Iike dogs.

Drink.

Hey, hey, hey, who gave you permission?

Don't get so uptight and have one:

Karubei...

What's your name?

Kiba Okaminosuke.

I'm Kihachi.

I broke into the samurai's house.

I am not just a petty thief.

Didn't you ever hear my name before?

o

WouId you Iike to have some

You have a weird name, but you're considerate.

He so resembles him...

You'd say my father when he was alive.

He used to make a living going from dojo in dojo.

''INN''

l was always hungry.

How Iong do you pIan on foIIowing us?

If you don't stop foIIowing us, you wiII be arrested too.

Officer,

what did that ronin do?

This is very sweet:

You reaIIy don't know?

He is Kawazu Magobei

Mondo Nishina, who guarded the mine,

the Shogun's mine,

he kiIIed him.

Mount Higasayama's goId mine is a IittIe farther on.

It was cIosed down a year ago.

Nishina-sama was patroIIing there

when Magobei kiIIed him.

hy?

He'II onIy say he didn't Iike him.

Hey: Are you Takada-sama ,

from the castIe town?

Yes.

My prisoner's coming from the Nishida reIay post.

AII our soIdiers got poisoned with water.

- Poisoned? - Yes.

I must get this criminaI woman to the governor of Arakawa.

My superior being very iII,

he has asked me to ask for your permission

to join your convoy.

Do you have the Ietter?

Oh, that woman is Oni-Azami Oren.

She had an affair with the Magistrate of Nishida Town.

But in the end, she was dumped. Her revenge was to kiII him

and burn down his house.

Let's go:

Hey, can't you move more smoothIy:

It'II be smooth at the office.

But then...

Then, I'II be crucified, isn't that what you mean?

But maybe I won't get there.

Moron:

Magobei, accept your fate.

Look, they're coming for you.

HeIIo:

We're from Arakawa to take over the escort.

- Let's check their identities. - Thanks.

Be my guest.

You're breaking our promise:

It doesn't make any difference if you die here or if you're crucified in Edo.

- Die now: - You swine:

Even a chiId can kiII a man who is caged and heIpIess.

Withdraw:

Magobei, who were they?

- I don't know. - What?

There must be a reason they wanted to kiII you.

Speak:

Stop it:

He toId you that he doesn't know, didn't he?

Anyway, if you don't move, they'II come back again.

Kiba-san ,

can you escort them

to the reIay post in Arakawa?

I wiII pay you.

How much?

How about 2 ryo ?

AIright.

But...

.. I want to taIk to him in private.

I want you to teII me who wants to kiII you.

Otherwise, I can't protect you.

I was duped.

A man named Higasa Jinroku used me.

Jinroku Higasa?

He's hiding on Mt. Higasa.

He and his crew are secretIy digging in the goId mine,

He was about to be discovered, and he used me

to kiII the officer patroIIing the mine.

He had promised to heIp me escape.

d o ts

AII of you,

and you can't kiII a man aIone?

e hired him

to kiII the guard. Nothing eIse.

He went for the deaI onIy because of the money.

He aIso was interested in the mine.

We have to waste him.

Daddy...

- Daddy: - Oteru:

- Who did this to you? - I did it.

Oteru was out of controI.

Today she came back aII naked.

Moron:

He aIways screams at us,

but not Oteru, she's spoiIed...

She's your sister.

If you do this to her again, I won't forgive you:

Listen,

we can't waste any more time:

If Magobei reaches Arakawa,

we can't do anything.

Jirota, this time you go:

Somehow, you must send him to HeII:

Why are you worried about me? Have we met before?

Maybe we did.

You resembIe my father a Iot.

Your father? Do I Iook so oId?

I was just a chiId

when he was kiIIed.

Was he a samurai?

r nin

Then, you are a Second generation ronin , aren't you?

For sure, I don't want a Third...

My father speciaIized in

Dojo yaburi to make a Iiving.

One day,

he went to the dojo in Koshu province.

l was 7 years old.

lt was the 6th year of Tenpo, late autumn.

After a violent fight, they chassed himi.

That's how...

.. his ronin life came to a stop.

I see... But I'm smarter than your father.

OddIy, as I Iistened to your story, I feIt as if I knew him.

I'm sure that you know what

I am expecting from you, don't you?

Let's be partners: I'II pay you a Iot of money.

And if I refuse?

Do you want to be a poor ronin forever?

Magobei, I've been foIIowing you since the start so I can see

how you free yourseIf from this cage.

What are you mumbIing about? Just keep your eyes...

Withdraw: Withdraw:

Kiba, we came here to get you:

You defeated my discipIes at the miII.

I saved you so that I couId fight you myseIf.

Come:

a ts

You coward: Come on:

Wait.

PIease wait untiI tonight:

I was hired to guard these cages

They paid me in advance.

- Are you trying to run... - Wait:

Is he teIIing us the truth?

Yes

If they Ieave now, they can arrive by tonight in Arakawa-juku

and his duty wiII be over.

see

I'II be waiting for you at midnight at Meoto crossroads.

Do you agree?

I promise, I wiII be there:

Sorry.

So...

.. try to stay aIive untiI then.

It's been a difficuIt road.

Let's take care of your injury.

First Iet me see the Magistrate...

I'm sorry, the Magistrate and the others aren't here,

because of the rain.

They crossed the river

with Iord's Kaga retenue and got bIocked.

There's onIy us 5 or 6 servants here.

Good evening.

PIease get some rest: It's been a Iong road.

My duty is over:

I'd be happy to wish you a pIeasant stay,

but that'd be of poor taste.

a t

Get me out of here.

I don't want to die:

Hey, what's with you? You're a 'big time' robber:

I am not a 'big' timer, just a 'smaII-time' thief:

I Iied to you:

I hadn't pIanned anything.

Shut up:

Good work.

You can go.

- It'II be midnight soon. - Kiba:

Won't you change your mind?

Can't you stay here untiI morning?

Kiba

Let him ago.

It's useIess asking a stray dog to stop somewhere.

Let's put our hopes in the Gods' hands.

Say,

we shouId bIock that entrance.

BIock it?

If they get kiIIed here, it wiII be your responsibiIity

and it's hara-kiri for you..

So you better take care of them untiI everybody returns.

a t

I was wrong. You're just a dirty dog paid by the shogunate:

No wonder, you are the son of a ronin :

Where are your fangs?

CaIm down:

You ingrate:

You're aIive onIy because I protected you untiI now:

From now on,

you're on your own:

Goodbye.

Take good care of Kihachi and Oren-san :

Here you are Okaminosuke.

As I promised.

I was Iooking forward for this moment.

Don't rush to your death:

You can't make me angry.

The fight is adjourned.

Damn...

Sir,

pIease Iet me have some of your sake :

PIease Iet me have just one sip before I die.

It's against the ruIes.

I have money.

Money? ReaIIy?

I have kept in case of need.

It's sewn into my coIIar.

Where?

o e

ere

Here, drink it:

Sir,

Iet me use my hands to take a drink, pIease:

You're too much: Just whiIe you take a sip.

Stop...

Oren...

Oren:

Hurry:

QuickIy:

What's wrong?

Open up:

Nagira-san , what's going on?

Let me get out of here too:

If you don't Iet me out,

I am going to teII about your secret goId mine:

Let me out:

Set me free:

Hurry:

Hurry:

Kihachi:

Damn...

a t

I'II make him reaIIy suffer:

Let's go to the ''VaIIey of the Crows''.

Mago-san , wait for me:

Mago-san...

Mago-san...

That way, you'II get to Bushu.

Oren, you're a good woman.

a ke ca e

a t

I am not going to Ieave you,

so pIease take me with you:

How many men have you deceived Iike this?

What?

My work has just started. I don't have the time for you:

Bastard...

Who couId faII for a man Iike you?

Monster: Assassin:

HeartIess fooI..:

You're probabIy from the Higasa famiIy, aren't you?

You got the wrong person.

Name?

My name is Oni-Azami Oren.

You guys scared me when I was in the cage.

I am sure that you escaped aIong with Magobei.

Where is Magobei?

Wait a minute: Don't rush to concIusions:

I have a grudge against him, too:

I want you to chop him up right in front

of my eyes:

PIease:

Come with us:

This is revenge for our men you kiIIed:

You enjoy it:

The crows wiII pick your bones cIean:

They'II pIuck out your eyebaIIs..:

Another skeIeton in this crow's den.

- Father: Father: - Okay, okay

Magobei is coming... to the mine or to the hut.

Maybe the mine is safer for her.

Saburota, take Oteru to the mine.

Come, Oteru.

Oteru.

Oteru, come:

Otatsu, what happened to that woman who foIIowed us?

At the hut. She escaped.

Better be aware of her.

Daddy:

Saburota,

Iong time, no see. Where is Jinroku?

Damn:

Saburota:

Speak:

Where is Jinroku?

Where's he?

If you teII me, I won't kiII you.

My father is at the hut:

Daddy:

Did Magobei taIk about the goId?

Nobody eIse knows about it: He just toId me.

Then you can't Ieave here.

UnIess she joins us.

Listen, Oren-san.

Do you want to have a Iong Iife?

Yes, boss. I'm ready to be one of yours.

But I'm exhausted...

Ichirota, take 2 or 3 men with you and go to the mine:

Magobei wiII go there for sure...

And you, wiII you be aIright?

If he comes this way, I am going to chop him up:

In front of your eyes, Oren.

DarIing,

don't you think that you better kiII this vixen first?

Shut up: Go to the mine with Ichirota.

- But, darIing... - Move it:

Listen up:

You, go to the mine.

Jirota, you go front. You, by the back.

It's not reasonabIe.

She's your wife, isn't she?

No. I can get rid of her no matter when.

- Get rid of her? - Yes.

She knows aII about the goId mine,

I can't Iet her Ieave aIive.

TeII me about the goId mine.

The shogun's mine ran dry.

Afterwards I found a different vein in the North sIope of the mountain

It is aII mine.

Now, that you know, you're one of us.

o

I was sure.

You're just a thief:

- Bitch: - Stop it: Let me go:

Magobei:

Magobei:

Wait for me, Magobei:

I'm in Iove with you:

You make me Iose my mind.

Why're you running?

You're heartIess:

Oteru:

Oteru:

Oteru, it's me.

It's me, Oteru.

Take this, Oteru.

Oteru, up there.

Oteru, quickIy:

QuickIy, Oteru:

Oteru, hurry up:

Kiba

this must be our fate to aIways meet in weird pIaces.

I'm an honest man,

so I'II give back what I owe you.

Hey,

isn't she the crazy Higasa girI?

What're you doing together?

Oteru, it's okay: Come down here:

You mustn't Iinger on.

If you don't want to be my partner, Ieave the mountain as soon as possibIe.

- Wait: - What is it?

I want to ask you one thing.

Why did you kiII Kihachi?

He Ieft me with no choice.

But...

You are so naive.

You don't deserve your nickname.

What use do I have for pity?

Show pity on someone and I'II get kiIIed from behind one day.

But I can't afford to die yet.

Not untiI I destroy the Higasa famiIy who betrayed me.

I'm going to kiII every Iast one of them.

It couId be,

I may have to kiII this crazy daughter too.

I Iove you.

I Iove my father aIso.

I Iove you too.

Am I beautifuI?

Yes.

You are very beautifuI.

Oteru...

Water...

Oteru:

You're a good girI.

I understand you.

You were very frightened

when they abused you in here.

I was Iooking for you.

Get out:

Oteru, stay away:

I have no choice.

e t s g o

What a sad fate

for a man Iike you...

I'm going to send you to Heaven.

Why? Oteru...

I didn't want you to die.

Daddy...

I want to see daddy.

Your father? You want to see him?

AIright. I'II take you to him.

Daddy...

Bitch:

KiII me and Iet's end this.

I am Oni-Azami Oren

I want a beautifuI death.

D'you understand what's going to happen?

Damn:

Magobei, stop it:

If you move, I'II throw her into the pit.

Magobei:

Magobei, save me:

I'd give my Iife for you.

You're abandoning me?

a nt to e

HeIp:

I want to Iive:

a nt to e

Oteru:

a t

I brought Oteru. PIease take care of her:

But in exchange, pIease Iet that woman go:

Oteru, what happened to you?

Magobei, it's not Iike you:

Do you think that you can beat aII these men?

Jinroku, if I give you Oteru,

you'II postpone the fight.

You must fight Magobei aIone.

Don't shed anymore bIood. How about it?

Magobei...

Fine by me. You aIways show up at the right spot.

So?

We'II fight Iater, one on one.

- Sons of bitches: - Wait:

AIright. Give Oteru back to me.

- Sweetheart: - It's my daughter.

Let Magobei drop his sword and bring her to me:

I'm watching him.

Drop your sword.

I have no choice.

Let the girI go.

Give me my daughter, and I'II set the other one free. I promise.

Daddy...

Daddy...

Oteru: Magobei:

Wait, Magobei:

Daddy:

Wait, Magobei:

Oteru...

Don't kiII Oteru:

Kiba, do you reaIIy Iove this crazy girI?

Magobei, don't kiII her:

Oteru:

Damn...

e

Magobei:

Why...

Why did you kiII Oteru?

She harmed no one.

Kiba, heIp me. There's goId in there.

Magobei, why did you kiII Kihachi and Oteru?

Shut up: That's how Iife is, hard.

HeIp me, quickIy:

o

Come here, Magobei.

D'you want to fight?

I'II never forgive you.

We must have no pity. Don't you agree, Kiba?

With money, you can buy anything.

Even men's hearts.

Sink it into our skuII.

I never give an opponent a chance, even if he's wounded.

Kiba...

you'II be Iike me, one day.

Oteru...
