’We ni wa Me a!” '91” Eye FarAn Eye!"

You heard that?

It was a shot. Wasn't the Chief around here?

Let's go!

What's the matter?!

Take care... of this...!

Stop!

Run!

Chief!

It's an Iga weapon!

What is it, anyway?

I don't know. They're foreign words...

But what do these handprints mean?

Well, at least you're safe.

If you killed 4 men...

That's the problem...

Can you move everyone to a safe place?

Yes, but...

Chief!

I'll stay here. I'll see how they move.

I didn't start it, but it's my responsibility.

We'll stay, too!

Then who'll protect the women and children?

Get ready.

10 years ago, the Iga Clan had scattered...

afi'er [using their past as Shagunate Agents.

This hand, headed by Tsugi Shinpachi...

lived as hunters in the I-Iachijaji hills.

Okiri!

Brother.

What are you doing here?

Sorry to startle you.

I had to talk to you.

Talk?

Where's your husband, Kokichi?

He died.

Died?

Four years ago, in Kisaralu...

of the flu.

Perhaps heaven punished me...

for disobeying father...

and eloping, leaving everyone.

I thought you and Kokichi were living in Osaka.

He wanted to, since he was from Osaka.

But I was afraid.

Father said he'd allow no outsiders.

In my many dreams...

you came to kill me, sent by father.

Didn't he ask you to?

Did you know Pa died?

I'd heard. Was it last summer?

I'm greatful that he took me in...

and raised me.

But he was a frightening man.

I loved him.

When he lost his comission...

the Koga's bribed their way to replace him.

Father knew, but did nothing.

It was later when I learned what had happened.

Oh.

But you're not here to reminisce.

Please... Return that scroll.

So that's why you're here.

Brother, it's of no use to you.

I was attacked because of this.

I had to kill.

I know.

Whose is it? How are you involved?

Please don't ask.

Forget what happened these last two days...

or harm will come to you and our people.

What?

If our people are to live in peace...

please give that to me.

Very well. The battle over this...

has nothing to do with me.

Nor, do I wish to be involved.

Thank you, brother.

But I'm concerned about you.

Those aren't ordinary attendants.

Never mind. You can see that I'm well.

I'll come to see you when I can.

So please don't spy on me.

Don't follow me, either.

In return, I'll promise...

never to cause you any more trouble.

Good work, Okiri.

Now our Lord need not worry.

Fate is strange, indeed.

When I bought you from the gay quarters...

I never dreamed you'd be so useful.

I'll give you a present.

Name it, Okiri.

I don't want anything. Only...

What?

You won't harm the Iga now, will you?

What...?

Is that what's worrying you?

Trust me...

Who would harm anyone...

that is dear to you?

In 1751, 6 months afi'er Shogun Yashimune 's death...

the 9th Shagun was yet to be chosen.

Yashimune had two sans.

Ieshige, the eldel; had became feehleminded.

Thought unfit for rule...

only his advisol; 0'oka Tadamitsu, supported him.

But the 2nd son, Yoshiharu, was intelligent.

The minister's looked to him...

as a most worthy successor.

Six months passed, with the two factions split.

Today the councilors gave their decision.

We shall announce our decision...

concerning this problem.

The 9th Shogun will be Lord Yoshiharu.

Heir Ieshige's advisor may think this cruel...

but this matter is of the utmost importance.

Please refrain from useless argument!

What a rude request!

Perhaps this is another example...

of the harassment I have been victim to lately.

A burgular tried to steal my scroll...

a family heirloom.

And...?

We gave chase...

and killed him in the Takao mountains.

Lord Naito, your domain lies beyond Takao.

Would you know about this?

The idea...!

Forgive me. Guessing games are in fashion, now.

Strange things happen in this degenerate age.

How is my brother, these days?

He has been better.

I see. Take care of things.

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Pop!

Not so loud!

Chief!

Here's more!

Hunting's good!

Chief, it's nice to see you!

Jinsuke, you're here? You look well.

Thank you.

Pop! Why not ask the Chief?

Will you give this to my granddaughter?

She's been begging for one.

Omitsu's sure to like this!

I'll be going, now.

Come anytime if you need help.

That's what we're here for.

Thank you.

Gohei.

Give me the doctor's address.

You introduced us once.

Hiraga Gennai...

You want something from him?

I have something to ask him.

Pardon me.

What a suprise! Come in.

Aren't you busy?

I just finished.

Doctor, you have a strange pet.

A pet? What do you mean?

Don't you know?

A black-haired mouse in the ceiling.

Who are you?

I have no name.

They call me "Hayate" Kid.

You're the thief that steals for the poor?

I'm a "Robin Hood!"

This is a comfortable house.

Maybe I'll stay, sometimes.

Fine, but I'll charge rent!

Doctor, do you know this woman?

No, I don't. What's the matter?

Nothing.

A few days ago...

she ran in, and asked for me to paint her.

Even I was taken aback.

She is beautiful...

but this beauty spot here is unlucky.

She can never find happiness.

I know this girlie!

She's someone's mistress in Honcho.

Mistress?

Her master's a samurai...

a chief overseer, called Honda.

You're well informed. Did you break in?

Someday... See you!

Be careful.

Thanks!

Shinpachi, didn't you come for something?

Teach me some foreign words.

Foreign...?

This?

This?

This?

This?

It's a secret pact.

And...

This?

It means plan.

I see... I think I get it.

What a great memory, though!

Is this one of your special skills?

This is what the scroll said in Dutch...

"By this secret pact...

"we pledge our loyalty to you in all things...

"never to betray you.

"We do so pledge."

It's a group pact.

The code below the handprint...

is the western capital letter.

But why go through so much trouble?

Yes, if this is conspiracy...

it's very suspicious.

Excuse me...

Brother!

I asked you not to look for me!

You even promised!

If this was a coincidence...

please go back to the mountains!

Brother!

Okiri, I know how your're living now.

Why did you lie? Tell me...

It just seemed easier.

To get the scroll back?

You galed fondly at the mountains...

Was that an act, too?

Why discuss it, now?

Brother, I left of my own will. I left our people.

I've lived my own life since then.

Now we mean nothing to each other?

Perhaps.

So please...!

Okiri!

So here you are.

My brother.

How fortunate...

I wanted you to contact the Iga.

A man of position wishes to meet you.

He is waiting at my home.

Will you come with me?

Would you like to work for me?

Of course, you'll be paid handsomely.

Paid handsomely?

The Iga are living in hardship...

leaving their families to work...

owning no fields, hunting for food.

Surely no life for human beings.

We know why this came to be.

When the Iga lost their Shogunate posts...

their lands were confiscated.

I shall get the Iga's land back.

If you help me...

What's so funny?

Is that all you wanted?

What?

I refuse. I wasted my time coming.

You... Don't be insolent!

Wait! We cannot force you.

But how disappointed your people will be.

I wish you'd see for yourself.

True, everyone lives in poverty...

but they rejoice in their freedom.

Old folk, women, children...

live in peace as human beings.

In government service, we never knew such joy.

Iga homelands exist in our hearts.

That is enough. Pardon me...

If he won't help us...

only one way remains.

The hawk hunt 5 days hence...

We cannot miss this chance!

Jinsuke of the Iga's?

Come with us.

Where?

Just come!

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Young Lord!

He did it!

After him!

I did it! Take care of things!

Isn't this an Iga weapon?

Yes.

But...

why would the Iga create such an outrage?!

I can't believe it! Someone probably...!

Councillor, please leave this to me.

Lord Ieshige has ordered an investigation.

It is urgent that we choose the Shogun now.

Lord Ieshige is the last of the Shogun's blood.

There is no need for debate.

But his health...

So is it not our duty to give him our support?!

What does everyone say?

Under the circumstances, we must.

How did it go?

We won. Completely...

But one more job remains.

Leave the Iga to me.

No, you needn't bother.

I've asked the Shi'ina Group.

I'm not going.

Chief!

Just lead the officers to their secret valley.

You men will be enough!

But Sir O'oka said...

I'll face the Igas head on!

Chief!

What's wrong?

What happened?

What happened?!

What happened?! Tell me!!

The sheriff's men attacked us with guns!

With the Koga!

What?!

All killed! Old Kyu, Akemi...

Even Omit-chan was killed!

We couldn't do anything, Chief!

Omitsu!

I won't give my condolences.

Just let me sing my burial song.

Burial song?

It reminds me of when...

Who was that boy?

Funeral services!

Funeral services!

Funeral services!

Chant the "Nenbutsu" with me!

Don't stand there! Pick them up and chant!

Pick them up!

Settle down!

Gunners!

Gunners! Shoot him!

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Don't cry. Stop it.

Our fathers bore pain and sorrow...

to accompish even the impossible.

Even a losing battle for their master.

Nothing will be impossible for us, either.

Our battle cry will be...

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Okiri!

Kiri!

Why glare at me?!

So you're angry because we killed the Iga?

Fool!

They assassinated the Shogun's heir!

It's a lie! They would never do that!

Fool! Where's Shinpachi?! You should know!

You were at the execution grounds!

You helped Shinpachi steal the heads!

Where's Shinpachi?!

Talk!

Fool!

Who are you?!

Shadow Warriors... Here to avenge the Iga.

What?!

Our first target will be you.

Chief overseer, Honda Denkuro.

You...!

Fool. You're trapped.

Look!

We've been waiting!

Be happy to die at the Shi'ina Group's hands!

Wretch!

You'll die in half a day.

It's a secret Iga revenge.

Remember it.

Tell your boss, O'oka Tadamitsu...

I'll kill the Dark Shogun's 26 followers!

Cut away his limbs, eyes and ears...

until I'm at the throat of the Dark Shogun himself.

Tell him to expect me!

Brother!

Okiri! What happened?!

Look behind that portrait...

This is...!

I made a copy of the original...

I knew I would come to this, someday.

I see!

Please brother, kill me by your hand.

I... who abandoned the Iga!

Hang on, Okiri!

Time to go!

Don't get killed!

Chief! Chief!

Retreat!!

After them!

Okiri! Okiri!

You gave me water...

...with your lips. I'm so happy!

Hang on, Okiri.

Now I have no more regrets.

I can say it now.

The only thing I ever wanted...

was to be held in your arms, like this.

You didn't know, did you?

Though we were raised as brother and sister...

I loved you.

Okiri, you...

Was I 13, then...? A centipede bit me.

You sucked out the blood and dressed the wound.

My whole body was trembling!

I ran away from home to escape that misery.

I'm sorry for those who died, though.

But now, I have no more regrets.

Brother, I really loved you.

That mountain monkey...!

Come at my throat, will he?

He doesn't know his place!

What's wrong?

What happened?

A broken rib had pierced his intestines.

I've heard the Iga use such a method.

That wretch... He dares...

Thus, one of the 26 in the pact had died.

But the Dark Shogun, O'oka Tadamitsu...

now fought new foes, the Shadow Warriors.

I'm from the Fuji bathhouse.

I can't stand it anymore!

My customers must smell this foul odor!

It's hurting my business!

What are you going to do about it?!

Are you a new worker?

Yes, I'm Shinpachi.

How polite... I'm Orin.

I'll have some too. Excuse me!

What about your bathhouse?

It's empty, now.

Cold saké. Right away, please.

I heard something interesting.

About the Dark Shogun, a lady and a doctor.

Let's hear it.

1752, the height of summer.

One incident had ended.

But another was about to begin...
