Wrath of Daimajin (Daimajin Strikes Again)

Our wild mountain god is thrashing about.

Hurry, sweetie!

- God must be furious. - How dreadful.

- It's God's doing. - We must be cursed.

- Please, help us. - God must be furious!

Giant snow storms, floods, fires, and earthquakes.

This story takes place when people used to think these disasters

were caused by an irritable mountain god.

Boy, I sure am hungry.

Don't say that.

Our family will be back from the mountain soon.

We have to prepare for the winter so we can have a good New Year's.

Okay! I'll work hard.

Sanpei!

Come quick! Look, it's Sanpei!

- Brother! - What's going on?

Where are the others? You're the only one to make it back?

They all were

forced to go to Hell's Valley.

To the neighboring valley?

We were chopping wood as usual

When the Arakawa samurai got us

And abducted the others to work on some big construction.

- In Hell's Valley? - What are they building?

I don't exactly know.

It's a big secret.

I was the only one who escaped.

I wanted to tell our lord Koyama.

But--

- Brother! - Go get someone from the palace!

Sanpei.

Did our lord say he'll go get the others?

He said he wouldn't since the snow is coming.

What?

Even if we go get them

Hell's Valley is quite far from here.

We're doomed if the snow comes.

We'd be trapped by the snow.

That's so cruel.

And Hell's Valley is enemy territory. It'll be hard to fight.

What if the mountain god gets angry?

We'd be trapped by the snow.

Isn't there another way to help our people escape?

There is one way.

We can go over the majin's mountain.

- The majin's mountain? - Sanpei.

Nobody has ever gone into that mountain.

I escaped through there.

Really?

All the other paths are under heavy security.

They're killing everyone on sight.

My brother!

I thought about going to Hell's Valley

to help the others escape.

I'm sorry.

Tell everyone

to go over the majin's mountain.

The majin's mountain.

Brother! Brother! Mom!?

- Should we go to Hell's Valley? - No, we shouldn't.

Sanpei is our best logger. That's why he was able to escape through the mountain.

And we'll be doomed if it starts snowing.

Maybe Sanpei died because he was cursed going over the majin's mountain.

It must be the majin's curse.

- Daddy isn't coming home? - Don't worry about it.

- What are you looking at? - The majin's mountain is over there.

You're going to Hell's Valley, Tsurukichi?

Over majin's mountain?

I'll go over a majin's mountain if I can get our dad and your brother back.

I'll come!

Kinta.

What's that?

My brother's good luck charm. I'll go instead of him.

- Okay. I'll go too. - No, Daisaku.

- Why not? - You're slow. You'll get in the way.

No I won't. I'll do anything to save my brother.

Okay, Kinta?

- Let's get ready. - Don't tell our moms. They'll just worry.

Why is Daisaku always late?

- Maybe he got caught? - Hey!

You're late, Daisaku.

Don't say that! I ran here as fast as I could.

What is this?

Food.

- It's all food? - Yeah.

Let's hurry, Daisaku.

We don't want to get caught.

Little Sugi!

- I'm coming too. - No, you're not!

We're going very far.

We don't know how scary our journey might be.

You'll get in our way.

Now go home. And don't tell mom.

Okay? Let's go.

I said no. I'm going to get angry if you don't go home.

Come, let's go!

Hurry up and walk!

Hey!

Walk!

General!

We almost caught the logger that escaped

but he ran into the majin's mountain.

- You let him go? - No.

The legend of that mountain is true.

It is so treacherous, you can't tell east from west.

We finally got out!

You came back without fulfilling your mission!

- But-- - What if the logger

Survived the mountain and got back to Koyama?

What if our secret gets out?

You idiots!

You must immediately go back to the majin's mountain

And look for the logger that escaped.

And go find out what the Koyama clan knows now.

Yes, sir.

He escaped!

But he went into the majin's mountain.

I hope he made it home safely.

We've come a long way. We didn't get lost, right?

My dad once told me to go where the stars fall

so we go west and further west to get to the majin's mountain.

And after that?

We keep going west. I heard that Hell's Valley always has yellow steam coming out.

Yellow steam?

Let's hurry. We're almost at the majin's mountain.

- Oh no. - What?

If the sandal landed up, my brother is fine. If not--

Don't rely on a sandal!

You idiot! What if something really happens to your brother.

Let's hurry.

That's majin's mountain.

My goodness, boys.

You cannot enter the majin's mountain.

Where are you from, old lady?

I live nearby.

You're not from here.

There's a scary, wild mountain god that lives here.

We know.

You know? You'll be cursed if you enter!

We're off to help our family.

In order to do that, we must climb over this mountain.

No! You boys take one step in

and you will not survive, no matter what.

The mountain's god is a wild one.

Just because you are children doesn't mean he won't stop rain

or snow storms from occurring if you anger him.

- What? - No, don't take one further step.

God's avatar is a giant hawk with sharp talons.

This bird is on guard at all times.

A hawk?

I cannot let you boys through.

You must hurry home.

- Go! - Okay!

Then hurry and go! Go! Go!

Go!

Brother!

Little Sugi!

I can't believe you made it here!

Did you climb through the boulders all by yourself?

Take me with you, brother!

We have to take him now.

No! It's just going to get harder from here.

But we can't make him go home alone from here, right Daisaku?

Right, that's too mean.

You can handle all sorts of hardship, right?

Sure.

You're going to keep up with us and try hard?

Yes.

Tsurukichi.

- You're not going to complain? - No.

Okay, then! Come Little Sugi.

Little Sugi!

General.

Daizen. We've made much progress.

We'll be finished in two days.

We finish this part, and we can take over any neighboring nation.

Sure.

We finish this and we'll have plenty of gun powder.

What's going to happen to us when this is done?

Where is Sanpei?

Was he caught?

Hey! What's the hold up?

- These are the captured loggers? - Yes.

The mountain men are strong and skilled.

Get them to work harder! Harder!

It's nothing, Little Sugi.

There's nothing scary.

Let's go.

- Let's climb this! - Yeah!

Don't let go, Kinta!

- Daisaku. - Yeah.

Little Sugi!

Little Sugi! Little Sugi! Little Sugi!

- Hey, brother. - Oh, Little Sugi!

Kinta? Kinta! Kinta!

Daisaku. Daisaku! Daisaku!

That's a...

a hawk.

It's the majin's avatar.

That's the wild god!

He has a kind face for a wild god.

Please forgive us for entering your mountain, God.

We just have to save our dads.

That's right, God.

Please let us pass through your mountain.

God!

The hawk!

Let's go.

What's wrong, Little Sugi?

I'm so hungry, I can't move!

Of course! You're hungry.

I forgot about my hunger since I've been so scared.

Okay then, time to eat.

Sounds great!

The enemy! I bet they're the Arakawa samurais.

Daisaku!

Ouch.

- Get them! - Yes.

You go first, Daisaku. You're the slow poke.

Me?

I'm scared. I get dizzy in high places.

Plus this bridge is so narrow.

What should we do?

Which way did they go? They sure run fast.

There must be a reason why the kids are on the majin's mountain.

Heave-ho. Heave-ho. Heave-ho.

You're next, Daisaku.

Don't look down.

But!

Hurry, hurry! Hurry, hurry!

Daisaku, they're here! Hurry, hurry!

Hurry, hurry!

Kinta and Daisaku.

- What's wrong? - Ouch! Ouch!

- Ouch! - What's wrong?

Shoot!

Hey!

A Path!

We made it! We made it over the majin's mountain!

Yes!

I can't believe they're nowhere to be found.

I bet the kids went to Hell's Valley.

- Oharu. - I'm going too.

- What? - I can't just let them go.

- I'll go too. - Me too.

Okay, then. We leave tomorrow morning.

Oh, boy. I'm starving.

How many times do you have to say that!

Shoot. I'm so bummed I dropped my rice ball.

Stop that.

It's dad's favorite mochi. Let's share it.

You brought that for your dad, right Tsurukichi?

I'll leave him one. Let's eat the rest.

Let's share it.

Sanpei didn't come back today, either.

I'll try to escape next. I'll make it home.

Wait. Help still may come.

Don't risk death now.

They have no use for us once the construction is done.

They'll kill us.

- We've run out of time. - But,

what will happen to your brother if something happens to you?

Daisaku will be all alone.

Hang back for a while longer.

I'll do it for us, now that Sanpei is not here.

I have to escape next!

Hey!

What were you doing?

Go to bed!

Okay.

- You go, then. - Okay.

Until tomorrow.

Hurry!

- Ouch! - What's wrong?

Hey, you!

Hurry! Get up!

Someone escaped!

A logger escaped!

Shoot.

You guys come to the sulfur lake.

Johatchi!

Come!

What are you doing?

Just watch.

If you try to escape or fail to obey us

Watch what will happen.

Kichibei.

My brother Daisaku is a slow one, but please take care of him.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

Do it!

Johatchi!

Johatchi.

Now do you get it?

Johatchi.

- Smells good. - Huh?

- I don't smell anything. - I have a heightened sense of smell.

Yup. I'm sure of it.

That hut.

- It does smell good. - Right?

Let's go.

I think the kids have something to do with the escaped logger.

Otherwise, why would kids go over the majin's mountain on their own?

- Why else would they run? - Of course.

We must get them.

What's wrong?

- It's yesterday's samurais. - What?

Hurry, Little Sugi.

The kids!

Humph. They got us!

Wait!

Take us to Hell's Valley.

- And you are? - We're from the palace!

I heard that Sanpei, the former guide, died.

We heard from the villagers.

Are you going to save the others?

We're worried that we'll be attacked.

We're trying to see what Arakawa is doing.

- What about the loggers? - Take me to the valley!

Oh, a dead end.

This river flows into Hell's Valley.

I smell snow. There's a storm coming.

- Well, let's cross. I'll carry you. - Okay.

Ouch!

You're okay, Kinta.

Okay, then!

I'll carry you.

Oh, I know! Daisaku, give me a hand.

- Little Sugi! - Kinta!

- Let go! - No!

I'm done! My leg hurts.

- Let go! - No!

Little Sugi!

- Let go! - Kinta!

Kinta!

Kinta!

Kinta! Kinta!

I smell something weird.

We're close to Hell's Valley.

Let's stay here tonight, and we'll leave early tomorrow.

- Okay. - Let's go get some fire wood.

Daddy! Daddy!

Little Sugi.

Little Sugi! Little Sugi!

Were you having a bad dream, Little Sugi?

Don't worry and go back to sleep.

Little Sugi. Little Sugi. Daisaku!

Snow! We'll freeze to death if we sleep now.

Little Sugi. Little Sugi. Daisaku! Oh no!

Wow, snow!

What should we do? We can't walk in snow like this.

Let's keep going. We have no other choice.

Listen closely. The construction is done.

We're making lots of weapons.

We'll first take over Koyama, then other neighboring nations.

There must be a road to Koyama.

- Take us to this road. - The road?

There is no such road!

Don't lie.

You loggers always know the back roads.

Why are you silent?

The general has spoken!

Well?

Show us the road and we'll let you live.

The construction is done. Now let us go!

Guide us, and we'll let you and your family live.

How about you?

Or do you want to suffer in the sulfur lake?

The snow makes staying here, or climbing the mountain dangerous.

- I'm not falling for that. - I'm not lying.

We grew up on the mountains. A storm comes, and we're dead!

- It's no use with this huge snow! - Quiet!

- Take them to the sulfur lake. - Yes.

Wait and see if they change their mind.

And if they don't, push them in.

Look.

Daisaku! Little Sugi! Don't go to sleep!

You'll die! Daisaku!

Daisaku!

Little Sugi! Little Sugi!

Little Sugi! Little Sugi!

Let's count, okay?

One.

Two.

Three.

Little Sugi, three!

Three

One hundred and one.

One hundred and two.

One hundred and three.

Little Sugi, Little Sugi! Daisaku!

Daisaku! Daisaku! Little Sugi!

Little Sugi!

Little Sugi!

Each of us will target one kid.

You take the one that's awake, Teradera.

Daisaku! Daisaku!

Daisaku! Little Sugi!

Little Sugi! Little Sugi!

Shoot the kids, Ichimaru.

Daisaku!

Little Sugi! Little Sugi! Daisaku! Daisaku!

It's God.

Oh, it's blood!

Kinta was taken by the river.

Daisaku and Sugimatsu won't wake up.

The three of us will surely die here in the snow.

Is this God's will?

Are we punished because we tarnished your mountain?

We had to climb over your mountain in order to save our family.

I, Tsurukichi, will sacrifice myself.

So please, don't be angry.

Please don't be so angry and save Daisaku and Sugimatsu.

Please.

Where's my brother?

Hey!

Ack!

It's my brother!

Gasp!

Some time has passed. Will you tell us now?

Shove them in.

What are you doing? Shove them in!

What's that sound?

What is that?

Shoot! Shoot!

General!

Don't run! Attack! Attack!

Cut the ropes and release the logs!

Shoot! Shoot!

Shoot!

Daddy!

Tsurukichi!

Sugimatsu!

- Daddy, daddy! - Tsurukichi! Sugimatsu!

Daisaku, come here! Here!

I can't believe you're here.

God, thank you so much.

God!

God!
