Intendant,

I'm bringing Samanosuke Tange.

Leave us.

What do you want?

That woman...

She's a spy sent by the government.

I suspect her since she's been hired.

The bitch...

She was carrying this letter

contenaining confidential information

about Soma's Nakamura clan finances.

And it's not everything.

She confessed

that another spy has infiltrated our clan.

Samanosuke.

You have been trained to Kashimashin sword school

and you are our finest swordman.

Kill this spy.

I also chose you for another reason.

Samanosuke.

You and Hagino, Kojuro Kamijima's fianc�e,

are childhood friends, right?

Yes. Why do you ask me that?

It happens that

the spy is Kojuro Kamijima.

Kojuro... Kamijima?

The government

will have to believe it is a personal matter.

For example,

a rivalry between the two of you because of Hagino.

It's classic.

Intendant!

I am ready to sacrifice everything for my duty.

But what will happen to her?

She will be in a bad position.

Kojuro tried to deceive us

by wanting to marry her.

She will realize she has been just a tool...

sooner or later.

You msut kill him, Samanosuke.

For our clan and our Lord.

But you're so fond of this bird...

Do you really give it to me?

Hagino.

I must go away for a while.

Where are you going?

That...

I can't tell you.

Hagino,

whatever happens,

be happy.

Whatever happens. Alright?

Samanosuke...

So? What did you want to tell me?

I'm going to kill you.

You...

you are jealous because Hagino's father likes me.

Kojuro, you are a spy from the government.

Hagino doesn't know about it.

Why did you engage?

What are you talking about?

They have proof.

Fight.

I see...

I refuse.

I won't fight.

I stand no chance against you.

Since I'm revealed, my mission is over.

Samanosuke.

I'm going to do harakiri.

In memory of our friendship,

give me the deathblow.

It's disloyal...

Not for a spy!

Kill this madman!

A YEAR LATER

320 KM FROM SOMA CH IYODA CASTLE - EDO

Guraku,

As it is done every 20 years, Nikko's Toshogu sanctuary

will be fully restored next year.

To which clan will I give this task?

Don't worry my Lord.

I already picked one.

You are always very efficient.

Which clan is it?

Yagyu.

- Yagyu? - Yes.

Tsushima Yagyu isn't a rich lord.

The restoration will be very expensive.

I know,

but I made inquiries about his finances.

Really?

I trust you.

YAG YU CLAN

EDO RES I DENC Y

I found it!

I found it!

- Read, Tamaru. - Yes.

"Date clan handled the previous restoration of Toshogu"

"during year one of Shotoku era."

"They had to spend 250000 ryos,"

"which led them to bankrupt."

"It took them 10 years to recover." That's it.

250000 ryos...

It was 20 years ago.

Nowdays, it will cost 300000.

How can our clan find such a large amount?

The shogun is pushing me to suicide.

- My Lord! - Tamaru.

Do you have another solution?

You should seek advice from lppusai.

Ippusai...

This order comes from the Shogun.

If I refuse, I will be severely punished.

But if I accept, our clan will be ruined.

Ippusai,

you were already at my grandfather service.

Do you have an idea?

Tell me what to do, lppusai.

You are 120 years old. You are a great wise man.

"Don't worry."

"A million ryos have been hidden in case of need."

"I have no idea where they are"

"but ask your family treasurer."

The precious urn?

The location of the hiding-place is written on it?

Is it true, lppusai?

The urn is safe in lga.

- Tamaru. - Yes.

Make sure it is brought to me immediately.

Stay discreet about it.

I'm going to entrust this mission to... I know!

To Genzaburo, my brother.

I'm going to warn him.

Yagyu stronghold, close to Kyoto, is in a strategic place.

The Shogun must take control of this land

and give the leadership to government officials.

This is my goal.

That's why I chose Yagyu

to restore the Toshogu in Nikko,

knowing they can't afford the cost.

Do you understand, Taiken?

Take possession of this precious urn.

I must use whatever mean necessary to bring them to ruin.

On top of that, I'll kill two birds with one stone

and recover the million ryos.

Taiken,

if everything goes as planned,

you will be named administrator of Yagyu's territory.

There's someone above us!

It was just a petty thief.

He's nimble.

That's all for today.

I'm sorry. I must stop.

I have a headache. Sorry.

- But... - Goodbye.

Thank you very much!

Yokichi!

I already told you not to come during the day.

I forbade you to.

Sorry...

Aye...

You failed again, didn't you?

You are too fat to be a thief.

You should consider quiting.

I know, Ofuji.

But yesterday evening, at Mukojima,

I was looking around the place for a burglary

when I surprised an interesting conversation.

They were talking about a million ryos.

Really?

Of course. Believe-me.

That's why I came here as fast as I could.

Say something, Ofuji.

You know, for you, I'm ready to do anything...

A million?

Not bad.

- Ofuji... - Is it the one?

Yes. This urn is worth a million. A million!

Awesome...

Yokichi, don't you find it a bit fishy?

Who are you?

I am Genzaburo Yagyu. I'm carrying an urn,

a present from Shogun leyasu.

The urn!

Kiddo...

do me a favor.

Take this urn

to the Yagyu residency in Edo.

They will give you money...

as a reward.

Money? Really?

Please...

Kiddo, be nice. Give me this urn.

- No! - Give it to me!

Be nice. We'll give you money.

I don't care!

You little brat! Ouch...

Be careful, Ofuji!

Wait, kiddo!

Kill him.

Sir, I don't know how to thank you.

My name is Genzaburo Yagyu.

This urn is our family treasure.

It would have been serious if it had been stolen.

What is your name?

Last name: Tange. First name: Sazen.

Tange,

give us the urn back.

No. " It would have been serious if it had been stolen..."

It may seem strange, but I don't like the way you're talking.

Apparently, people died for this urn.

As I'm a nice guy, I'm taking it

to prevent anymore blood from being spilled.

Genzaburo, you should be thankful.

Wait.

What if I give you 100 ryos?

100 ryos? And if I refuse?

I will kill you.

Then I refuse.

You, the Yagyus, from the Shinkage school, are skilled swordmen.

Sir! You, over there!

Genzaburo, we will fight another day!

Moaning over it is useless.

Who were the attackers?

They looked like government spies.

- Maybe. - Lord!

By ordering us to restore the Toshogu,

the government is looking for our ruin.

That's why they wanted to steal the urn.

We must find this Sazen quickly. Otherwise we're doomed.

Tsushima,

we'll do everything we can to find

this ronin.

Our future depends on you.

Leave to search him out immediately.

I'm counting on you.

He's taking advantage of the situation, the monster.

Whatever happens

never I'll be able to

marry this man.

Hey, sir... Sir!

Sir...

Hey, sir!

He's sleeping like a log.

Ofuji.

Thank you for the sake. I'm going to take the urn off him soon.

Ofuji, I think we're spending too much for him.

It's been five days he's here.

Think about the million.

The money we're spending now is nothing in comparison.

He's drinking at our own expense.

Be patient and everything will be fine.

Let me handle it.

Victory is soon.

"Victory is soon."

Sir...

Sir, are you going to sleep much longer?

Tell me...

I slept like a log.

Here, sir. Have a drink.

I like this place.

A singing teacher who, at night,

changes into a thief. That's entertaining.

You can stay here as long as you want.

Tell me, where were you born?

I forgot my past.

How do you survive?

I fight men from dojo to dojo.

I beat them all.

I don't have many offers as a bodyguard.

My face scares them, people don't hire me.

Well me, I will hire you.

What do you think about it?

My services are very expensive.

I've been training a lot.

I imagine.

In this case,

what would you say

if I offered you my body?

Bodyguard working for a thief, that's not very brilliant.

Sir,

don't be so mean with me.

Sir,

I've been waiting for a man like you for many years.

A strong man...

Sir...

Sir...

Don't move!

Stop!

You too, you're trying to steal the urn?

Wait.

You seem to have information about this urn.

Let go of me, goddamn it!

Speak. Do you want to become one-eyed too?

Ofuji, do something... Ofuji!

Stop!

I didn't want to use it

but you leave me no choice.

Release him and give me the urn.

And if I refuse?

I'll kill you. Hurry, give me the urn, quick!

No.

Ofuji!

Do you have the guts to shoot?

Go ahead. If you hit the urn,

it will break into thousand pieces.

Scumbag...

So? Are you shooting, yes or no?

Are you shooting, yes or no?

Scumbag!

Who are you?

It looks like you want this urn too.

Unfortunately,

I'm getting quite fond of it.

Attack me if you want to die!

Woman!

Do you have any bullets left?

You seem to be their boss.

What is your name?

The God of Death.

The God of Death? Interesting.

Let's fight for this urn!

Kiddo, you're coming at the wrong time!

It's mine!

Kiddo!

Goddamn it... Let's go!

Ofuji!

Ofuji, forget the urn.

It's worth a million but we'll be dead before getting it.

I've got my pride.

I will find this monster

and I'll get it back.

Your pride? Is it really the only reason?

Shut up! Find me a place to spend the night instead.

I can't go back to my home.

Why don't you come to my house? I can take you in.

Alright. I'm coming.

I had some trouble to get rid of the kid.

You will take care of me.

And our conversation isn't over yet, is it?

Let's go.

Lord Tsushima,

The Shogun greatly appreciates your family's loyalty.

That's why he entrusted you with this mission.

And you would like to refuse it? Don't think about it.

It is totally insane.

Lord Tsushima, don't be so anxious.

You know

that the Shogun really likes your family.

The 13th of this month, a tea ceremony

will take place at Kanei temple.

He requires your presence.

I'm honored.

Your family owns an urn

where the tea is stored, isn't it?

The shogun wishes you to bring it

for this occasion.

What's going on?

Shogun leyasu offered it to your family.

I hope nothing happened to it.

What are you insinuating, Guraku?

I will bring it to the temple,

you have my word.

Yagyu is getting impatient. He still hasn't found Tange Sazen.

We have to recover the urn as soon as possible.

You still don't know where he's hiding?

Yes.

But I have a plan

to drag him outside.

Is Genzaburo back?

No, not yet.

Boss, cook us something to eat.

Edo is a big city.

A very big city...

Only three days left

until the tea ceremony.

I'm worried.

Don't be. I'm sure we'll find Sazen tomorrow.

So?

We have three days left.

That's enough. Tomorrow, we'll search Honjo district.

No need.

Tange Sazen is here.

Dainoshin!

His...

It's a trick from Sazen!

Sazen,

What is written?

Please, let me have a look at it.

What is it?

Letters or drawings. I don't understand anything.

You told me this urn was worth a million.

Did you lie?

You're crazy.

I'm a thief, alright.

But my parents forbade me to lie. Who do you think I am?

We understood, Yokichi.

Leave us.

I know I'm not wanted here.

Sorry to have disturbed you!

Wait. Don't be upset.

Go have some fun with some women.

Tell me, what are you going to do with this urn?

I'm thinking about it.

If you don't understand the writings, resell it to the Yagyus.

The Yagyus and the government spies

will do anything to retrieve it.

Ofuji,

I'm going to have fun to drive them up the wall.

You can't understand my motives.

Me,

I'm suggesting it for your own good.

Let's start a new life.

Let's open a restaurant with the money you'll get from it.

You know how I feel about you, don't you?

I will make you happy, my love...

It's not the time, it's still daylight.

Us, the thieves, we sleep when the sun shines.

What ardour... You're going to kill me at this rate.

- What? - Nothing.

What?

It's you again? The urn isn't here anymore.

Kiddo, do you still want it so badly?

No. I will give up

if you teach me how to fight with a sword.

I want to be strong.

Samurais are very strong.

I want to be a samurai as strong as you are.

- Please. - Shut up! Get lost!

Please, teach me.

Get the hell outta here or I kill you!

I won't give up.

Dirty little brat!

What is this racket?

It's the thieves auction day.

150, 200... going...

300, 400...

450... going...

500.

The perfume burner of famous lord Maeda... It's worth more.

500, done!

Dorogame, it's yours.

What is it?

You won't believe it.

I sneaked into lord Mito's garden

and stole this.

The washbowl he's using for his hands.

- Next! - What's wrong?

Next time, steal the Shogun's chamberpot!

I have even better.

The calabash lord Hideyoshi was using as a symbol.

I'm the best thief.

What? Moron!

Fucking thief!

That's enough!

Stop this racket!

You're preventing me from having a nap.

Who are you?

His guest.

Last name: Tange. First name: Sazen.

Got a problem?

So? You got it, right?

They are together.

Kuma, last night, I saw this monster kill people.

You dreamed.

They slept together the whole night.

I have the room next to theirs. Look...

I haven't slept at all.

Go, we have to tidy everything.

No, I haven't dreamt.

Or else...

What? Somebody pretended to be me?

That's the truth. Why would I lie?

The whole city will know it in 2 or 3 days.

Who is it?

I followed him and it won't surprise you.

He went to Guraku's house, the Shogun's confidant.

What? Guraku?

I see...

I'm begining to understand.

They're trying to get me out of my hiding-place.

Good.

I'm going to have some fun with this old Guraku.

What's going on?

I need your help.

Find some urns looking like this one.

They have to be very similar!

Here.

Find your good fortune in that.

I'm impressed.

No, it's nothing.

Dorogame, you stole a simple jug?

And you, a fishing tool!

Where are you going?

Don't worry. I'll be right back. Keep an eye on the urn.

We're going to see Guraku.

It's here.

Good, Sazen... I'm leaving you.

Is it you, Guraku?

Tange Sazen?

So, it is true,

you really are a monster.

Bullshit!

You are the worst monster in Japan.

You've got a lot of guts.

Sazen, I like you.

Would you like to work for me?

I get my hands dirty

for the Shogun and his advisors.

Therefore, I'm holding more and more the reins of the government.

Do you understand, Sazen?

You can rebel

but you still remain a stray dog.

Becoming my own dog

wouldn't be so bad.

No. I refuse to be domesticated.

I've heard you're looking for this urn.

Here it is.

I will sell it.

100 ryos, is it fine?

100 ryos?

My casket!

Guraku, 100 ryos, it's really cheap.

You're making a good deal.

You are my domestic dog

but this one won't let himself be domesticated.

Ikkaku, can you kill him?

Of course.

How will you proceed?

I'll throw two swords.

He will only be able to stop them with his left arm.

I will take the opportunity

to deliver the deathblow.

Stray dog!

Domestic dog!

Come back to see me, darling.

- You told me you are 18 years old. - That's true.

Liar!

Next time, I'll say I'm 20.

As you wish.

Come on, come back to see me.

Hey you, who are you?

Who allowed you to come inside my cabin?

Say something!

I'm sorry.

I travel alone and I don't have any money.

You intended to steal our customers, right?

- Insolent bitch! - What?

Can't you see I apologize.

Don't make me laugh! What is this outfit?

- Bitch! - What is this?

- Stop! - Let go of me!

Drink!

I invite you to celebrate our meeting. Drink!

Thanks, boss. You are a true god of happiness.

What? A god of happiness?

Boss, don't believe him.

Before, he was calling you a monster.

And you, you said children were passing out when they see him.

- Motherfucker! - What?

Stop, retards.

Children pass out when they see me? It's funny!

Sing! Danse!

Don't worry. It's not luxurious

but it's better than sleeping outside.

It's here.

Don't be afraid. They're my friends. I'll introduce you to them.

What a beautiful couple!

You don't get it at all.

Come.

This is Miss Hagino.

She's coming from Oshu, in Nakamura kingdom.

She is looking for a man...

What's going on?

Samanosuke...

It's me, Hagino.

Don't you remember me?

You're mistaken.

No, you really are Samanosuke.

I'm sure of it.

I wanted to find you

to tell you how I feel about you.

People told me you were in Edo, so I...

If you really think I'm this Samanosuke,

then come closer and have sex with me.

After that, I'll sell you to a whorehouse.

Come near me!

Do you understand, Hagino? It's your name, right?

This place is not for a woman like you.

Who are you?

Ofuji.

I regard her as my wife.

Here, darling. Have a drink.

Wait, miss Hagino!

Sazen shouldn't have talked to you like that.

Ofuji has been mean too.

I'm sorry. What will you do?

Oh no!

Excuse-me, do you know this man?

Answer me, please.

Are you going outside?

Bouddha statues, they depress me.

I'll have a drink.

Don't be ridiculous. If you worry about her,

run to her, go ahead!

It's useless to try to scare me.

You will always be a samurai.

Since you saw her, you're missing this life style.

Are you jealous, Ofuji?

Don't be stupid!

You told her I was your wife to get rid of her.

I didn't deny but it was to do you a favor.

You hit me!

After all I did for you?

Enough!

Ofuji, when I told her you were my wife,

I wasn't lying.

All I want since the start,

is to get the urn back. I've been using you.

Go away!

Are you going to kill me? Fine.

Do it!

So? Why don't you kill me?

Keep the urn if you want it so much.

Hold it in your arms at night.

Imbecile!

You don't understand me.

Monster...

Please, tell me where Sazen lives.

I will meet him alone. I promise.

Miss Hagino, try to understand.

He killed five of my men. They meant a lot to me.

No...

No, I don't believe you.

Please, Miss Hagino.

The future of Yagyu clan

depends on the urn he's holding.

Miss Hagino...

Kiddo, come here.

Come on.

So, do you still want to become a samurai?

You know, a samurai

isn't as strong as you imagine.

He only has a sword to kill.

Don't think he's strong.

But...

You,

you are an orphan and manage to survive on your own.

You are stronger than a samurai.

Do you really mean it?

Of course.

You are nice tonight.

It's probably because you're sad.

It would be better if you went back to Ofuji.

I saw you quarrel.

She looked sad too.

Yokichi!

What's the matter?

Take me to this old man, Guraku.

I've had enough of this urn.

I'm going to sell it to him.

You're drunk.

Sazen will kill you if you do that.

This monster?

I told him to get lost. He had it coming!

Ofuji...

Yokichi!

Will you take me there, yes or no?

Alright, alright!

Won't you go in?

Ofuji.

Ofuji!

She went out. She wanted to sell the urn.

To who?

To Guraku. Yokichi took her there.

What?

Sazen.

Give me the urn back. Let's fight in a duel.

- It's not the right time! - Quiet.

You killed five of our men! What do you blame us for?

Someone pretended to be me!

Genzaburo!

I have no intention to run or hide.

I see...

It's really the urn I was looking for.

How much do you want?

200 ryos. I won't sell it for less.

Of course...

I was expecting it. I'm not stupid.

Guraku, put the money here.

Tonight, I'm in a bad mood.

Hurry up or I shoot.

Too late!

- Darling! - Sazen!

Morons!

Sazen, I was waiting for you.

Darling, I knew you would come.

You really are...

Forgive me.

Sazen, we don't want to spill more blood.

It's your life or theirs, make a choice.

Don't worry about us. We're ready to die.

No! Not me!

Yokichi, stop crying like a child!

I don't want to die...

Behave like a man!

Well? I'm not patient.

Darling, don't mind us.

Wait.

Leave us!

Wait.

- Darling... - Sazen...

Darling...

We'll gain time.

I don't want them to see me die.

Darling!

I already eliminated several Yagyus.

After you, Genzaburo will be the only one left to want the urn.

So it's you who killed them pretending to be me?

Yes.

I'll kill anyone who wants this urn.

The way you act is disgusting.

Good.

Where do I start?

I will sever your left arm first.

Darling!

Taiken, it's you...

It's you who killed our men.

You will face the same fate!

Darling!

I will fight you later.

The urn is mine.

What?

I put it in a safe place.

What are you doing?

The ceremony is tomorrow.

- We are doomed. - But...

Quiet!

Stay out of this.

Go away or I'll kill you!

Do you want to die?

Following samurais honor code?

Me,

I had to become a monster

to realize how much this code was stupid.

But you're free to do as you want.

I won't stop you.

Sazen.

Me, Genzaburo Yagyu,

I have my own vision of life.

Give me the deathblow.

Sazen!

I will help you to retrieve the urn.

Only if you accept my conditions

I will tell them later.

At what time does the ceremony start tomorrow?

Did you stop Tange Sazen?

Not yet.

Echizen,

This Sazen

can appear right in the middle of the ceremony at the temple.

It will be terrible

if he tries to assassinate the Shogun.

Put the guards who patrol the city

around the temple, immediately.

No one must pass.

I'm counting on you.

Certainly.

But, master Guraku,

why do you think

this Sazen would commit such an outrage

during this ceremony?

As far as I'm concerned,

I don't understand your fear.

You don't have to understand.

Echizen, as the civil governor,

you only have to worry about the temple security.

Tell me, will you really go there?

It will be fun

to grab the urn before the very eyes of the Shogun.

For sure!

Shut up, kiddo!

Sazen, will you really go there?

That's madness.

Let's forget about this urn. Ok, Sazen?

Don't risk your life. Think about Ofuji.

Please.

I don't know if I'll risk my life.

Sazen,

I don't understand.

Why do you want this urn so badly?

To give it back to the Yagyu or to steal the million?

I don't know.

The eye and the arm I lost

push me

to act like that.

Sazen!

Sazen!

I'll come back when everything will be over.

You will take care of me for the rest of my life.

Tsushima, be a little more patient.

Genzaburo, I can't count on this ronin.

Doing harakiri is the only solution

to save the honor of our clan.

You won't die alone.

I'm joining you.

My Lord!

I thought about it.

He really is a monster.

The urn and the million ryos

are the reason of this story.

Without that, we would never have met.

I wanted to sleep with a million...

It drives me nuts!

Come on, I'll go get some girls.

I'm down in the dumps.

I'm going to drink.

Leave me alone. It's not a place for you.

You're going to meet Sazen, aren't you?

How?

I can see it in your eyes. No need to lie.

We are the only ones to love him.

I'll help you. Take me with you.

Alright, as you want.

Damn... What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You will see...

Listen. Yokichi will be back soon.

Be patient.

Sazen!

Don't say anything and let me help you. I can be useful.

I doubt it.

There are so many guards

that you will need my help.

The ceremony will take place in this building.

At the end on the right is the main room.

The urn is probably displayed there.

The Shogun will be there soon.

Sazen, we have to take this opportunity.

Nothing to report?

Taiken, is everything in order?

See by yourself.

The Shogun is coming!

The Shogun is coming!

Listen, Sazen.

Rush inside the room when I start running, ok?

Ofuji.

Ofuji...

Come on, arrest me!

Come on, what are you waiting for?

What's going on?

Go check what's going on.

Yokichi! The urn!

I got it!

Yokichi!

Stay close to me!

Run!

Sazen...

Listen, Yokichi. While I'm fighting them,

bring the urn to Tsushima Yagyu.

Wait.

And tell Genzaburo not to forget my conditions.

- Ok. - Go.

Did we stop him? Where is Guraku?

Guraku!

Move aside!

Who are you?

Lord Genzaburo!

I bring you the urn!

Sazen sends me!

Tsushima...

Tsushima, Sazen did it.

Genzaburo, Yagyu clan is saved.

Yokichi, where is he?

Guraku!

The urn I stole

is within lord Yagyu's hands!

Guraku, by asking them to restore the Toshogu,

you wanted to ruin them,

recover the urn and the million ryos.

Were you aware of that, Shogun?

You weren't watchful enough.

You have been his puppet.

Guraku, what's the meaning of this?

I...

Explain yourself!

I don't want to see you ever again! Disappear!

My Lord...

My Lord.

It would be a shame if your guests saw this incident.

Let me handle the problem.

I'll take care of everything.

I'm counting on you, Echizen.

Tange Sazen!

I am Echizen, the civil governor. I want to talk to you!

Get down here!

Sazen! I want to talk to you face to face.

Climb down the ladder. Sazen!

Sazen, please.

Bring the ladder down, please do.

What do you want?

Listen, Sazen.

We want to forget this regrettable incident.

It is the Shogun's wish.

I see.

He doesn't want people to learn

that a ronin disrupted his ceremony.

It would undermine his prestige.

However, don't think you'll get out of it so easily.

I'm going to expel you from Edo for what you did.

What? Expel me from Edo?

Don't be upset.

To be honest, you're scaring me.

If a monster like you stays in Edo,

it won't make

my job as a civil governor easier.

What do you say, Sazen?

The Yagyus will be saved

and Guraku will be punished.

So, Sazen? Does it suit you?

Think about it.

What will happen if I accept?

The woman we arrested

and the thieves won't be punished.

Does it suit you?

Aren't you lying?

Alright.

Really?

Sazen...

asked the governor not to punish us?

Really?

He also made sure

I could stay with the lord Yagyu.

Is that so? I'm happy for you. That's good.

I will tell you his other conditions.

Those 500 ryos

have been given by the Yagyus

for recovering the urn.

He gives them to you.

He gives them to us?

This Sazen is undoubtedly a god of happiness.

What? You never stopped calling him a monster.

And you, you said children were passing out when they see him.

What? It was you who said that!

Stop!

And you, Ofuji,

he asks you to take care

of the boy, Yasu.

Is it a part of his conditions?

How selfish!

I wonder where the kid went.

I'm hungry!

Did Sazen make it out of it alive?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You will see...

Keep cool!

Listen, starting today, you have to obey me.

Understood?

I'm going to clean you.

I will clean you well.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

What about Hell?

And Guraku?

He took some poison.

You want to remain loyal?

I became a stray dog, just like you.

To start this new life...

I will put an end to yours.
