1. Thank you, come again!Copy !req
2. And who might you be?Copy !req
3. You know that I'm Munetada Tajima
of the Fu'un Sekisai school, don't you?Copy !req
4. Of course. That's why I chose you.Copy !req
5. All right, then. I'll take you on
for a little after-dinner exercise.Copy !req
6. Come on!Copy !req
7. " Lethal LunacyCopy !req
8. Geez, I'm so hungry...Copy !req
9. I'm sick and tired of hearing you say that.Copy !req
10. Come on, we haven't had anything
to eat since the checkpoint...Copy !req
11. Then go drink from the river or something.Copy !req
12. Sorry, friend, but we don't
even have money for lodgings.Copy !req
13. We don't have anything to give you as alms.Copy !req
14. I'm glad to hear you say that.Copy !req
15. You came at a perfect time. We've been
in a bind because we're so short on help.Copy !req
16. Once you're finished wiping down
the floors, please polish the Buddha.Copy !req
17. All right?Copy !req
18. You bald bastard, who do you
think we are, your slaves?Copy !req
19. Hey, quit your complaining!Copy !req
20. He's feeding us and letting
us stay here for free!Copy !req
21. That reminds me. Don't forget to chop
firewood and mend the sliding doors.Copy !req
22. Screw you!Copy !req
23. Oh, geez...Copy !req
24. Damn it, I'm always the one who
has to clean up their messes!Copy !req
25. Geez, there's been another one.Copy !req
26. Talk about scary...Copy !req
27. —What happened?
—What, haven't you heard?Copy !req
28. It's another street killing.
This is the third one this month.Copy !req
29. And the only people that the killer
goes after are skilled samurai.Copy !req
30. And it says here that they've gotten fed up
and put a ten ryo bounty on his head.Copy !req
31. No way! Ten ryo?Copy !req
32. Hey, are you listening to me?Copy !req
33. A ten ryo bounty! Ten ryo!Copy !req
34. That much money would get us
to Nagasaki with no problem.Copy !req
35. A street killer, huh? I can't
really say that I'm interested.Copy !req
36. Is this guy a real badass?Copy !req
37. He has to be.Copy !req
38. I mean, he's specifically targeting
and killing skilled samurai.Copy !req
39. Okay, then.Copy !req
40. Well, I'm going out for a bit.Copy !req
41. Hey, wait!Copy !req
42. Jin, see to the rest of the chores here, okay?Copy !req
43. Hey!Copy !req
44. Good grief...Copy !req
45. —Well?
—Come on, little lady. Think it through.Copy !req
46. If you see the street killer,
it means that he sees you, too.Copy !req
47. Once that happens, you're as good as dead.Copy !req
48. Oh, right... I wonder if there
are some clues or something.Copy !req
49. Hey. Who's the best swordsman around here?Copy !req
50. What the heck are you asking him that for?Copy !req
51. The killer's gonna go after him next, right?Copy !req
52. Oh...Copy !req
53. Well? Hello?Copy !req
54. Seishiro Momoi.Copy !req
55. Thanks, mister.Copy !req
56. —Hey, what are you doing?
—Oh, don't mind me.Copy !req
57. —What is it?
—You're that samurai named Momoi, ain't ya?Copy !req
58. Indeed. This is Master Seishiro Momoi,
instructor at the Gensou Academy,Copy !req
59. also known as the Human Dynamo.Copy !req
60. You want to be my disciple?Copy !req
61. Glad to hear it. Now the street killer will—Copy !req
62. Are you the street killer?Copy !req
63. You've got guts, showing
your face in broad daylight!Copy !req
64. —Huh? You're making a mistake!
—Say your prayers!Copy !req
65. I said you were making a mistake, didn't I?Copy !req
66. P-Please, wait! It was all a lie!Copy !req
67. The whole Human Dynamo thing
was a lie that I spread myself!Copy !req
68. S-Spare me!Copy !req
69. This guy is useless.Copy !req
70. Yes, I saw one of the corpses.Copy !req
71. —Really?
—It was the strangest thing I ever saw.Copy !req
72. There wasn't a single sword cut on it,Copy !req
73. but blood was spurting out of his eyes,
ears, and every other orifice when he died.Copy !req
74. How was he killed, then?Copy !req
75. I have no idea.Copy !req
76. If the authorities could figure that out,
he would've been arrested long ago.Copy !req
77. What's the big idea?Copy !req
78. Hey, there's no need to shout.Copy !req
79. I'm sure this nice gentleman
didn't bump into me on purpose.Copy !req
80. I'm sure my friends would be willing
to overlook this unfortunate incident,Copy !req
81. if you give us a little
something as an apology.Copy !req
82. C'mon, say something!Copy !req
83. You wanna end up as food
for the ravens, buddy?Copy !req
84. I have no interest in the likes of you.Copy !req
85. What I'm saying is,
I'm not interested in weaklings.Copy !req
86. —Why, you...
—Who the hell do you think
you are, you bastard?Copy !req
87. Shit!Copy !req
88. Monster! That guy's a monster!Copy !req
89. That's enough for today, I think.Copy !req
90. I'll finish this last log, then.Copy !req
91. I'll go get dinner ready.Copy !req
92. What a lively piece of firewood!Copy !req
93. Perhaps I'll use this as
kindling for today's bath.Copy !req
94. What'll it be?Copy !req
95. Sake.Copy !req
96. That won't buy you much,
but maybe that's for the best.Copy !req
97. What's that mean?Copy !req
98. Haven't you heard? These parts
have been dangerous lately.Copy !req
99. That street killer, you mean?Copy !req
100. Yeah, business here has
been lousy because of him.Copy !req
101. Hit me again.Copy !req
102. Sorry, mister, but that's all
that 10 mos will buy you.Copy !req
103. Excuse me.Copy !req
104. Help yourself to mine.Copy !req
105. When they speak of the joy of sake,
that is only when you are slightly tipsy.Copy !req
106. I've had a little too much to drink tonight.Copy !req
107. —Be my guest.
—Sure, if you insist.Copy !req
108. Oops. My apologies.Copy !req
109. It looks like I really have had
too much to drink tonight.Copy !req
110. How about you? You know anything, buddy?Copy !req
111. —About what?
—The street killer.Copy !req
112. I have no idea. I'm rather
out of touch with public affairs.Copy !req
113. Word has it that he only goes after
tough people. Why do you think that is?Copy !req
114. I don't know. I couldn't really say.Copy !req
115. But I once heard a story
that goes something like this...Copy !req
116. Long ago on the mainland, there
was a mountain-climbing expert.Copy !req
117. This man had climbed
an amazingly tall mountain.Copy !req
118. But no one had ever seen this mountain,Copy !req
119. so they couldn't comprehend the
magnitude of this accomplishment.Copy !req
120. Reluctantly, the man continued to climb
mountains that were said to be even taller.Copy !req
121. Day after day he climbed, all in order to
make the people recognize his greatness.Copy !req
122. In the end, the man made the mountains
his home and he became a demon.Copy !req
123. And?Copy !req
124. The story ends there.Copy !req
125. I don't get the point.Copy !req
126. Forgive me, I suppose there
was no point to the story.Copy !req
127. Well, this is where we go our separate ways.Copy !req
128. Watch out for that street killer.Copy !req
129. Thank you. You, too.Copy !req
130. You're him, ain't ya?Copy !req
131. What the hell kinda fighting stance is that?Copy !req
132. Impressive, you dodged it...Copy !req
133. This should be entertaining.Copy !req
134. There he is! It's the killer!Copy !req
135. The night of the next full moon.
Let us meet here again.Copy !req
136. What the hell...?Copy !req
137. What a beautiful moon.
I love watching it from here.Copy !req
138. Oh, there you are!Copy !req
139. I'm sorry!Copy !req
140. That's all right, miss.Copy !req
141. Um, about that street killer...Copy !req
142. They say that the corpses
were bleeding from everywhere,Copy !req
143. even though there wasn't a cut on them.Copy !req
144. Listen, don't you think this is too dangerous?Copy !req
145. Jin! What the heck do you think you're doing?Copy !req
146. My apologies.Copy !req
147. But the speed of your movements makes
me think that you're no ordinary priest.Copy !req
148. What do you mean, not an ordinary priest?Copy !req
149. Hey.Copy !req
150. Mugen! When did you get back?Copy !req
151. Hey, your hand...Copy !req
152. —How did they get cut up like this?
—It's nothing.Copy !req
153. I wouldn't call those nothing!Copy !req
154. You ran into the street killer, didn't you?Copy !req
155. —Yeah.
—No way...Copy !req
156. The guy had this weird-ass sword. It was like
a powerful wind shot out of it or something.Copy !req
157. —A wind?
—Yeah.Copy !req
158. And when it hit me, it...Copy !req
159. I knew it.Copy !req
160. The street killer is most
likely a man called Shoryu.Copy !req
161. What, you know the guy?Copy !req
162. He was once a pupil of mine.Copy !req
163. At one time, I was a warrior
who had his own dojo.Copy !req
164. Shoryu— No, at the time, his name was Ukon—
was a student at my dojo back then.Copy !req
165. He was a man of considerable skill,Copy !req
166. and he devoted himself heart and soul to the
martial arts, spending each day in their study.Copy !req
167. Eventually, Ukon was sent on a sea voyage
on the orders of this domain's lord,Copy !req
168. but the ship met with disaster.Copy !req
169. It was believed that the ship
had gone down with all hands.Copy !req
170. But Ukon miraculously washed ashore
on the continent, and escaped death.Copy !req
171. In that land, he apparently
encountered a strange martial art.Copy !req
172. Who could have known how great
an impact that would have on him...?Copy !req
173. Ten years after he had disappeared,Copy !req
174. he returned to these lands after crossing
the sea, determined to make it or die trying.Copy !req
175. But he had changed so completely that
he almost seemed a different person.Copy !req
176. Learning the martial arts of the
continent has made me realizeCopy !req
177. how weak and empty those that
I had previously studied were.Copy !req
178. There is a technique called Hakkei.Copy !req
179. It allows you to defeat an opponent, not with
strength, but with the power of your inner chi.Copy !req
180. After arduous training,
I mastered this technique.Copy !req
181. But what of the warriors of this
country? What have they done?Copy !req
182. I wish to teach the ways
of the true martial artsCopy !req
183. to the samurai who have grown indolent
and weak in this peaceful country.Copy !req
184. I want to do something
about this corrupt country.Copy !req
185. —Ukon, what are you...
—I have given up that name.Copy !req
186. I am now called Shoryu.Copy !req
187. I yield!Copy !req
188. —Hey, wait!
—Stop! What're you doing?Copy !req
189. What's going on in here?Copy !req
190. H-He's dead!Copy !req
191. What have you done?Copy !req
192. What kind of man kills during training...?Copy !req
193. You attack a helpless man,
and then go on to kill him...Copy !req
194. What do you think the martial arts are for?Copy !req
195. Once mastered, the martial arts
are a tool for killing.Copy !req
196. In other words, they are to utterly and
completely take the life of your opponent.Copy !req
197. I hereby expel you from this dojo.Copy !req
198. I-I'm what? Expelled? You're throwing me out?Copy !req
199. But why?Copy !req
200. I'm expelling you because
you don't understand why.Copy !req
201. Impossible... You're throwing me out?Copy !req
202. You can't be serious!Copy !req
203. You're scared of being beaten by me, is that it?Copy !req
204. Is that why you're throwing me out?Copy !req
205. You coward!Copy !req
206. After Shoryu left my dojo,
he wandered from domain to domain,Copy !req
207. trying to be accepted into service.Copy !req
208. But I've heard that he was treated
as a heretic no matter where he went,Copy !req
209. and no domain would take him in.Copy !req
210. After that, they say he
began to hate this worldCopy !req
211. that wouldn't give him
recognition or even accept him,Copy !req
212. and he began to go from dojo to dojo,
killing the master of each one.Copy !req
213. As for me, in repentance for being
unable to save the soul of my pupil,Copy !req
214. which had become tainted with darkness,Copy !req
215. I became the priest that you see before you.Copy !req
216. I mustn't allow Shoryu to commit any more sins.Copy !req
217. But he is now virtually invincible.Copy !req
218. I doubt that there is anyone
who is capable of stopping him.Copy !req
219. I'm happy to hear that.Copy !req
220. I'm glad I'm gonna have the
chance to take on a guy like that.Copy !req
221. What's gotten into you?Copy !req
222. Why the sudden change in heart?Copy !req
223. Ow!Copy !req
224. I've never seen Mugen like this before.Copy !req
225. It means that this is one opponent
that he isn't sure he can defeat.Copy !req
226. Yep, you gotta meditate under a waterfall...Copy !req
227. Screw that.Copy !req
228. It isn't a sword that
Shoryu kills with, it is his chi.Copy !req
229. In this country, the technique is
sometimes called the Armor Piercer.Copy !req
230. Once mastered, it can destroy
the body's internal organsCopy !req
231. without so much as
scratching the opponent's armor.Copy !req
232. Maybe that's true, but it can't
hurt ya if it don't hit ya, right?Copy !req
233. The moon's so big...Copy !req
234. Well, I'm heading out for a bit.Copy !req
235. Hey, you haven't forgotten, have you?Copy !req
236. You're gonna help me look for the
samurai who smells of sunflowers, right?Copy !req
237. Yeah, I know.Copy !req
238. Don't forget.Copy !req
239. I will be the one who kills you.Copy !req
240. Who do you think you are, my wife or something?Copy !req
241. I knew you would come. You don't
know how happy this makes me.Copy !req
242. Ever since I returned from the
continent, everyone has feared me.Copy !req
243. It never even occurred to them
to recognize my strength.Copy !req
244. In spite of the fact that my skills were far
superior to those that the people call masters.Copy !req
245. And so, I taught them a lesson.Copy !req
246. I showed them who was really the strongest.Copy !req
247. Spare me the introductions.
Let's get this started.Copy !req
248. As you wish.Copy !req
249. Son of a...Copy !req
250. You exceeded my expectations.Copy !req
251. Why do you fight me?Copy !req
252. Is it because I have a bounty on my head?Copy !req
253. I don't give a damn about the bounty anymore!Copy !req
254. I'm having the time of my life right now!Copy !req
255. As am I...Copy !req
256. But I think it's about time
that I put an end to this.Copy !req
257. I-Impossible...Copy !req
258. This can't be!Copy !req
259. This time you're mine...!Copy !req
260. Ukon...Copy !req
