It is all right.

Kibakichi.

Why did you come here?

A long time ago...

humans and monsters named Yokai...

and nature lived in perfect harmony...

without interfering in each others' lives.

But as time went by...

humans forgot their fears.

In the fourth year of Hoi 1707...

the new government assembled a team to exterminate the Yokai.

The weakened Yokai escaped deep into the mountains...

to avoid contact with the human world.

Some Yokai turned themselves into men, women or the elderly...

to hide within the human world.

No one returns home from this town.

Ever.

Ever.

Why did you come here?

Did Onizo send you?

Onizo.

Sake.

Yes, sir.

Please, go ahead.

Is that all you are going to have? You sure are cheap!

I am going to buy you one.

Sake tastes better when we drink it together.

Oome have a drink with us.

Drink with us, all right?

Where did you come from?

There are so many beautiful women in this town.

May I take you to them?

Brother, are you a gambler?

Please, do not get upset.

Do you want me to take you to the casino?

If you need money I will take what is on your waist in exchange.

Listen to my brother, and don't be so shy.

Anyway, if you carry that with you, you won't get in the casino.

You just bring back some money when you come out of there.

If you do that, I will give you back your sword.

Or perhaps you don't have any...

confidence?

Kikio.

You were abandoned by humans.

And you have nowhere else to go.

Put it on the table.

The dice goes in the cup.

- It is set. - Please bet now.

Two and six, even.

I won again!

Everyone, we are now going to change our dealer.

Thank you.

And now, our proud Akane will shake our dice.

For those who haven't had any luck, perhaps your luck will change now.

So, please, do your best.

Brother! Keys.

I will shake this cup to the best of my ability.

So please be kind to me.

Oup!

Are you ready?

You are ready.

I will shake the cup.

Oup is down.

Please bet now.

Bet now.

If it's odd, I'm done.

Open it, show!

Three and six, odd.

You are beautiful.

Kikio really is a good girl.

She is really beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Pass!

What is the matter?

There is a man who is quite interesting.

How interesting?

He is not very good at the small game.

But when it comes to betting big...

he never loses.

He is not cheating, so he really is a true gambler.

Are you ready?

You are ready.

One and six odd, I will shake again.

Boss!

Yamayi-sama is waiting for you.

I am sorry.

But we ask that you wait a bit longer for us to fulfill our promise.

Again?

You promised me that this time was for sure.

Didn't you?

We found the ideal place.

But there are some people in the clan who dislike me.

If I take any action now, they'll become suspicious...

and our plan will be destroyed.

I, Onizo...

put my life at risk for your promise, Yamayi-san.

Even though our power has weakened...

if all of the family puts their lives at risk...

Onizo-san, please do not try to threaten me.

I will fulfill my promise very soon.

Please agree with Yamayi-san.

If we succeed...

the day you and your people can live peacefully will come.

Yamayi-sama's plan of reform is so perfect...

that even ordinary Yokai will not understand it.

But we must do it.

The custom of discriminating against one's appearance...

must change as soon as possible.

Kikio!

Excuse yourself.

The important thing is...

to respect and understand each other's needs.

Like ourselves, who are different creatures and cultures...

but can become friends.

That is right.

Onizo-san, who lives with Kikio, will understand this, won't you?

Kikio has no place to go.

That is all.

Son of a bitch!

How am I supposed to gamble with a woman dealer?!

Let me gamble with a male dealer!

I understand you.

Let's go to another room.

Go, you idiot!

Excuse me.

I have something to tell you.

Please.

It is so tiring entertaining Onizo, isn't it?

Yes. But we do not have a choice right now.

We need their help, for now.

Since Onizo helped us with that dirty job...

we've gotten rid of a lot of so-called trash.

Well...

I think Kikio knows too much about what is going on.

When the time comes we can get rid of her.

I don't think Onizo is going to let her go.

I am sorry to bother you.

If you want to say something, do it quickly.

Don't be...

in such a rush.

I've been watching you gamble.

You are quite... skillful.

I like that.

What is your... name?

Kibakichi.

From Inugame village.

Kibakichi-san...

of Inugame village.

My family takes care of this town.

I am Boss Onizo...

of the Onizo family.

You can ask Achichi...

about the murder details.

This way, please.

Brother...

is it true that in Akami swamp you killed Kapa?

We do not know what to do with those Kapa.

Because of them...

people have stopped coming to this town.

We have got a job to do here.

And we do not want anyone bothering us...

including Kapa.

Brother!

Will you help us? Please!

What kind of help are you talking about?

I will tell you about that later.

You should stay here for a while...

and watch us with your own eyes and then decide.

If you do not like what you see, you can leave without any trouble.

We have been looking for a good gambler...

and our boss trusts a man who has good luck.

A gambler must return his obligation.

Even if he is in town for only one night.

Thanks for saying that. We appreciate it.

She is Boss Onizo's woman.

How about me?

Old woman, just think about your age.

What are you saying?

Don't you know that women are at their best at my age?

That is enough. Go away.

I will introduce a beautiful woman to him.

- No, no! - Yes! Yes, I will.

I will do it.

Why are you drinking early in the morning?

Go back to work!

Work, work, get to work!

Work!

Good, good!

One more, one more.

I am lost!

We have not had a customer like you for a long time.

Everyone is very happy to have you.

Are we too much for you?

No, you are not.

I have been alone for a long time.

And I have forgotten how to associate with people.

We are all old friends.

Some were chased away from their homes...

and others arrived without reason.

Everyone likes and trusts Boss Onizo.

We are just like a family.

Do you find that funny?

It does not sound like the Yakuza, does it?

Our lord is not feeling well.

So he said to let Yamayi-sama...

handle everything related to the festival.

Everyone taking care of our lord must be very concerned about him.

There's no other choice.

We must take care of the clan ourselves.

We are depending on you.

Of course.

You can count on me.

Just let me handle everything.

Thanks for waiting.

Oup!

I will shake the cup.

Please.

Two and six, even.

Five and four, odd.

One and six, odd.

One and two, odd.

Shit I be serious, I want a male dealer!

Four and one, odd.

Two and four, even.

Four and three, odd. Two and four, even.

Two and four, even.

One and six, odd.

The game is over, Boss Oshiozo.

What do you think you are doing?

How could you bring that into the Onizo family casino?

I hope you know what you are doing.

Let's make a deal.

Oome in.

Please take whomever you like.

Onizo is some guy!

Okay, okay.

- What a handsome man you are! - Let me have a drink first.

You are cute, aren't you?

How about another?

I'll have many more!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Kibakichi-san.

We Yokai do not like humans.

But we must survive.

We are trying so hard.

Kibakichi-san...

why do you still want to help them?

We are Yokai.

What is wrong with that?

What is going on?

I am sure...

Kibakichi-san sees what we are.

And he also has a grudge against the humans.

Let's go.

Very soon our dream will come true.

- Your dream? - That's right.

I n the near future...

Yamayi Osuke-sama will become head of the Momoi clan.

He will create a place where we can live peacefully.

The humans will not honor their promise to the Yokai.

That is we must all get along.

We should not give them an excuse...

because of some feud among ourselves.

That is right.

If will unite and show the humans how strong we are...

they will be scared of us.

And they cannot break their promises so easily!

Kibakichi-san.

Please help us. It is for the Yokai survival.

Kibakichi-san.

You were also chased away from your home and came here!

Isn't that right?

If they chase us away from here...

we have nowhere else to go!

I thought...

we could share our dream...

with you.

Are you not going to interfere?

Because I do not care about...

your dream.

Anju.

You are alive, Anju.

Do not call my name so easily.

Betrayer!

Kibakichi, have you forgotten what you have done?

Kibakichi...

Our people were living peacefully...

In a village located deep In the mountains...

without any contact from the outside world.

Kibakichi.

It was all your fault because you trusted the humans.

They are selfish monsters who only care about themselves.

They came to our home and killed all of our family.

If only you did not trust them I

If only you did not trust them!

If I don't kill you I cannot apologize to our dead family.

Brother! What's going on?

Who was that?

Should I let my men handle it?

No, it's all right.

It isn't any of your concern.

Only one life to live.

I might as well give my life to you.

Wonderful!

How powerful they are!

It was made in England...

and its quality has been improved.

With this on our side...

the reformation of Yamayi-san will be realized.

That's right!

We need a great leader like Yamayi-sama...

for this country.

Let's blow up these coward government officials...

with that machine gun!

You may be rushing a bit.

Maybe I am.

We must first take leadership of our clan.

The power of having this ability is quite wonderful.

You are right.

And this power... will never betray us.

We do not need people who at any time might betray us.

That is right.

We must get rid of them as soon as possible.

The Yokai's powers are weakening.

They weren't any help at all, were they?

No.

But we still can use them.

How?

I think they will make a very good target...

while we practice with the machine gun.

I see.

We can get rid of a nuisance...

and practice shooting...

at the same time!

That's just what we would expect from the brightest man in the country.

I respect you with all my heart.

However...

we must be cautious.

They are very suspicious and we will never know...

when they will betray us.

Deliver this to them.

Yes, sir.

Have a drink, Kibakichi-san.

Achichi-san.

Do you really believe...

the Yokai will be given the holy land?

Yes.

Do not believe the humans.

I am sure they will betray you.

I want to trust them one more time.

I do not believe...

that all humans are bad people.

What are you praying for?

For everyone's happiness.

I believe there is a place...

where we can live in peace.

I am sure it must be somewhere.

It is time, I must ask you.

Yokai?

That is right.

With these, I let customer go home with money, once in a while.

About two out of every ten people.

And the winner brings more...

people to the casino?

I played a real game with you, Kibakichi-san.

I did not cheat.

Didn't I say...

that I was looking for a man with good luck?

I thought it was strange.

Besides Hachigoro, Akane is a good dealer.

But every once in a while she loses concentration.

That's all right.

The casino's...

purpose is not to make money.

You were taking away the lives of the gamblers.

Weren't you?

You've traveled around the country.

So you should know that casinos have not been legalized.

Do you know why?

Even if there was a law...

no one would obey it.

So, as to the Yakuza...

and those who threaten others...

I will get rid of them!

Don't you think this kind of job is quite suitable for Yokai?

It is foolish.

The humans are just using you.

And we also use the humans to make our dreams come true!

That's good enough.

Do you really think...

your dream will come true?

Life...

is just like a spot on a dice.

We won't know...

until we shake it.

You have come this far...

so, go ahead and try...

until you get your number on the dice.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

Anju...

Are you happy here?

Humans abandoned me.

And I had no place to go. No one waited for me.

But Onizo found me.

And he raised me.

Yamayi Osuke.

I appoint you leader of the clan with a 6,000 goku fortune.

Because of Yamayi-sama...

the Momoi clan have quickly reduced...

the amount of men who commit crimes against us.

Also our lord was very happy...

to receive good words from the government.

But...

we still have enemies to eliminate.

Once you have accomplished your mission...

I, Wutani...

will make sure to report this to our lord.

It's getting chilly out here.

I do not want you to catch a cold.

Oome on, let's go inside.

You've always caught a cold so easily...

even since you were very young.

We didn't know what to do...

since we never knew how to take care of a human child.

Kikio, you are a good girl.

You have grown up to be such a beautiful, beautiful girl.

Yes.

Taruchen! Taruchen!

- Let's get out of here! - Taruchen!

- Hurry! Hurry! - Taruchen! Taruchen!

Achiro!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister...

We are leaving.

Brother!

Brother! Brother!

You, insect...

This way.

Listen.

Don't you come out.

Do you understand?

You'll be okay.

I found them! They're here!

You...

You...

You...

How could you destroy Boss Onizo's dream?

How could you destroy Boss Onizo's dream?

How beautiful...

to be still alive.

You, monster!

Help the women and children inside.

Grandma!

- Don't worry about me. - Grandma!

Get out of here, Kikio.

If you survive...

some day you will find...

happiness.

Kikio, are you all right?

Is Kibakichi still alive?

It is not safe out there.

They surrounded us. Get inside! Get inside!

Oshino!

Boss, this way!

Kikio!

I am...

I am staying here.

Yamayi.

I was trying to use your power...

to win the leadership of my clan.

We do not need...

the Yokai's power any longer.

We have another power now.

To tell you the truth, I was afraid of you.

That's why I thought I'd have you on our side.

But now...

we have nothing to be afraid of.

Our contract will not exist if we destroy the evidence.

I stand to gain nothing from you now.

So, I must destroy you.

Am I right?

We did everything you told us to do.

That is correct.

And now you have to show your loyalty to me once again.

Onizo...

will you please kill Kikio?

Oshino was my daughter.

You told me that you wanted a place...

where the Yokai could live peacefully.

It was a good idea.

But if humans live with you in your area...

that's not very good.

If humans and Yokai mix together...

there will be trouble in the future, just like we have now.

We know how much you adore Kikio.

So if you kill her...

you will prove your Loyalty to Yamayi-sama.

If you kill Kikio...

I will let the others go.

It is not too bad a deal.

What is the matter, Onizo?

It is...

for our dream.

There is no choice.

This is going to be...

quite a show.

Kikio.

It is all right.

As long as I can go to Paradise...

it is all right.

What Paradise?

The Yokai go to Hell.

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Move!

Yes, the tough one. Get out of my way!

Get out of the way!

Forgive me.

I have decided to become Yamayi-sama's man.

Take this!

You, monster.

The Yokai's appearance Is very different than yours.

Kiklo...

I will never let anyone ruin your beauty.

Your prayer...

has been answered.

I'm sure...

that Onizo went to Paradise.

I'm sure of it.

Where are you going?

Wherever you go, the Yokai will be chased by humans.

This Is our fate.

Do not mix with them, just live quietly...

until your time comes.

I am going to find a place...

where I can live with this child.

You will find it.

There must be somewhere.

A place of our own.

And for you as well, Kibakichi-san.
