to distant Nagasaki.Copy !req

5. they passed Suruga, they passed Hamamatsu,Copy !req
6. they passed Ise,Copy !req
7. and in spite of various digressions,
have traveled ever westward.Copy !req
8. And now, overcoming
many trials and tribulations,Copy !req
9. they arrived at long last
at the Kamigata area.Copy !req
10. In other words, Samurai Champloo
has now begun its Kansai chapter.Copy !req
11. We hope you enjoy it!Copy !req
12. "Bogus BootyCopy !req
13. These freshwater fish taste
a lot better than I thought.Copy !req
14. There's a book called Master of the River
that says they taste bad, though.Copy !req
15. Well, I guess they do have a lot of bones...Copy !req
16. Jin! Just give up, already!Copy !req
17. C'mon over here and join us for lunch!Copy !req
18. I'll share my catch with you!Copy !req
19. Aw, forget him. He's just being
stubborn 'cause he came up empty.Copy !req
20. Yeah, but still...Copy !req
21. C'mon, before we started fishing, he said,Copy !req
22. "Fishing is a life-and-death
struggle between man and fish.Copy !req
23. Approach it lightly,
and you are certain to be hurt."Copy !req
24. He actually said that,Copy !req
25. and the moron can't even catch fish
that're swimming right in front of him!Copy !req
26. W-We shouldn't laugh at him! It's not nice!Copy !req
27. Um, do you think we might
have overdone it a little?Copy !req
28. —Like I care.
—But he's...Copy !req
29. Don't look him in the eye, got it?Copy !req
30. W-Where the heck did you get these?Copy !req
31. They were lying at the bottom of the pond.Copy !req
32. —They're banko!
—Koban, dummy.Copy !req
33. This means we're a filthy bitch.Copy !req
34. That's filthy rich!Copy !req
35. I hope you're doing that deliberately.Copy !req
36. Well, whatever the case may be...Copy !req
37. Banzai!Copy !req
38. A city! Proper food!Copy !req
39. "Udon Noodles"Copy !req
40. Boy, I'm stuffed...Copy !req
41. For the first time in ages, I'm actually full.Copy !req
42. She's some kinda low-grade monster...Copy !req
43. I'm so full, I'm so full,
I'm so full and it's no bullCopy !req
44. It's no bull, it's no bull,
it's no bull that I'm so full!Copy !req
45. Don't be shy, my gut's not shot,
I can eat everything you got!Copy !req
46. Hey, you guys! Where do
you think you're going?Copy !req
47. Hey!Copy !req
48. No women allowed!Copy !req
49. What? How come?Copy !req
50. This is the red light district!Copy !req
51. No way! Darn it, let go of me!Copy !req
52. You two traitors!Copy !req
53. You jerks!Copy !req
54. Welcome, my good sirs!Copy !req
55. Please, right this way!Copy !req
56. Word on the street is that
this is the best place in town.Copy !req
57. Well, I must say that our girl's looks
and skills are the equal of any Edo geisha.Copy !req
58. We like to think of ourselves as
the finest establishment in the West.Copy !req
59. We have nothing but the best girls.
There's not a bad one in the bunch!Copy !req
60. And our prices are most reasonable.
Our guests have nothing to complain about.Copy !req
61. Now, sirs, please make yourselves at
home in this room for a few moments.Copy !req
62. I will go make arrangements
for food and courtesansCopy !req
63. that are in keeping with your price range.Copy !req
64. I can't believe those two jerks...Copy !req
65. How could they go to a red light district
when they've got me around?Copy !req
66. It sure is tough to be a girl, isn't it?Copy !req
67. Hey, are you a boy, Momo? Or a girl?Copy !req
68. I'm so hungry...Copy !req
69. Welcome, good sirs!Copy !req
70. My name is Takigawa.Copy !req
71. My name is Seyama. It is a pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
72. My name is Yatsuha.Copy !req
73. It is a pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
74. Sweet! Okay, I'm gonna take this girl here.Copy !req
75. The rest of you ladies,
have fun with four-eyes here.Copy !req
76. What do you think, sir?Copy !req
77. Who are they?Copy !req
78. We are unsure of their identities,
but they seem to be a pair of ronin.Copy !req
79. And they entered the city today?Copy !req
80. So it would seem.Copy !req
81. These are the coins that we'd planned
to release in Kaga three days from now.Copy !req
82. Why are they circulating already?Copy !req
83. Did you fail in your duties, Kakizou?Copy !req
84. Yes, sir. I can offer no excuses.
I will submit myself for punishment later.Copy !req
85. I am putting together a
report as quickly as possible.Copy !req
86. —Hey!
—Yes, sir!Copy !req
87. Bring him up!Copy !req
88. Who is this?Copy !req
89. A man by the name of
Hankichi Otowa who tried to escapeCopy !req
90. from the underground foundry the other day.Copy !req
91. We captured him near Ryugakubo,
but he had nothing on him at the time.Copy !req
92. However...Copy !req
93. However?Copy !req
94. Just to be safe, we put him under intense
torture, but he never said a word.Copy !req
95. It's possible that he's been
trained to withstand torture.Copy !req
96. I can't believe it... Are you saying we've been
infiltrated by the Shogunate's secret police?Copy !req
97. This is serious... Kakinoji!Copy !req
98. —Akame.
—Sir?Copy !req
99. Who else started here at
the same time as this laborer?Copy !req
100. At the same period, sir?Copy !req
101. This man started working at
the foundry about a year ago.Copy !req
102. There were four or five others who
started working underground at that time.Copy !req
103. As for workers who started
aboveground a year ago,Copy !req
104. Yatsuha is the only one I can think of.Copy !req
105. I can't believe that Yatsuha could be—Copy !req
106. Whether or not you believe it is irrelevant.Copy !req
107. Doubts are like flies, they must all be crushed.Copy !req
108. —That is our inviolable rule.
—Yes, sir...Copy !req
109. For the sake of our great cause,
we must be thorough in all things.Copy !req
110. There can be no exceptions.Copy !req
111. I'll leave the disposal of those
two ronin to you, Kakizou.Copy !req
112. Turn them into fish food so as
not to raise any suspicions.Copy !req
113. There was apparently a fat girl
who was accompanying the two men.Copy !req
114. Her, too. Track her down and eliminate her.Copy !req
115. Yes, sir!Copy !req
116. Don't leave any traces whatsoever.
I'm counting on you.Copy !req
117. This isn't good...Copy !req
118. Whatcha doin', baby?Copy !req
119. Oh, nothing in particular...Copy !req
120. I don't like being teased.Copy !req
121. So, what say we let the good times roll, huh?Copy !req
122. I'm paying good money for you, after all.Copy !req
123. You have a point...Copy !req
124. I'm sorry about that, but it looks
like the situation has changed.Copy !req
125. It looks like my partner has been captured.Copy !req
126. I think I'm in danger, too.Copy !req
127. I have to go back to Edo
and come up with a new plan.Copy !req
128. Boy, this is so irritating...Copy !req
129. I've been working an undercover investigation
here for a whole year, and now this.Copy !req
130. See you around, lover boy. If it's in
the cards, maybe we'll meet again.Copy !req
131. Damn, that hurt...Copy !req
132. You know, I think I could
get into this rough stuff.Copy !req
133. H-Hey, wait a minute!Copy !req
134. I'm not lettin' you get away again.Copy !req
135. Oh, good grief...Copy !req
136. Now, then... Let's get down to business.Copy !req
137. Oh! Look over there! It's a naked woman!Copy !req
138. This guy is incredibly tough...Copy !req
139. But still...Copy !req
140. Tough chicks totally turn me on...Copy !req
141. Hey, would you like to do
something really fun with me?Copy !req
142. Then let's go to the room next door.Copy !req
143. —What do you think you're doing?
—Who are you?Copy !req
144. No, who the hell are you?Copy !req
145. Oh, gosh! There are people here already!Copy !req
146. We can't do anything really fun
with these guys in here!Copy !req
147. You sons of bitches...!Copy !req
148. Beat it!Copy !req
149. Hankichi, are you all right? Are you alive?Copy !req
150. Yatsuha, is that you...?Copy !req
151. I'm sorry, I couldn't outrun them...Copy !req
152. These people are no ordinary forgers...Copy !req
153. I can't believe that someone
as fast as you couldn't get away...Copy !req
154. Who are they?Copy !req
155. Probably remnants of the Negoro...Copy !req
156. The Negoro militant monks?
The mercenaries from the Warring States period?Copy !req
157. You're telling me that they're still around?Copy !req
158. We don't have enough men...Copy !req
159. Yatsuha, go to our master for reinforcements...Copy !req
160. It'll be all right. I'll take it from here.Copy !req
161. I'll try to come up with something.Copy !req
162. I'm sorry...Copy !req
163. Now, where were we?Copy !req
164. Oh, we can't do anything
really fun in a room like this!Copy !req
165. Hey, I know! As I recall, there's another
great spot right below this room!Copy !req
166. Is this all of them?Copy !req
167. Yes, sir. The other one bit off his
own tongue and killed himself.Copy !req
168. As I expected.Copy !req
169. —Hold him.
—Yes, sir!Copy !req
170. I'll have you sing a little for me.
About who sent you.Copy !req
171. What's going on?Copy !req
172. Hey.Copy !req
173. Hey, what the hell is going on?Copy !req
174. Looks like our timing was a little too good.Copy !req
175. Who are you?Copy !req
176. So, you're the big boss of the operation, huh?Copy !req
177. I've finally seen your face.Copy !req
178. A spy from the East, huh?Copy !req
179. Ginsa Momochi! All of your
misdeeds have been exposed!Copy !req
180. Counterfeiting the koban coins of the realm
is the most serious of all serious crimes!Copy !req
181. This counterfeiting foundry
is irrefutable proof!Copy !req
182. Surrender yourself and come along peacefully!Copy !req
183. What's so funny?Copy !req
184. And just who have my crimes
been exposed to? Only you two?Copy !req
185. We are the 20-odd descendants
of the Tsuda clan of Negoro.Copy !req
186. The clan's mighty warriors are gathered here.Copy !req
187. Outnumbered here by the likes of us,Copy !req
188. what can mere secret policemen who serve
in a country at peace hope to accomplish?Copy !req
189. You have us outnumbered, all right...Copy !req
190. but don't count us out!Copy !req
191. Hey, if you take out all of these guys for me,
I'll do something really amazing with you.Copy !req
192. Are you kidding me?
I'm not falling for that again.Copy !req
193. You're on!Copy !req
194. Get them!Copy !req
195. Excuse me, miss. Have you seen a really
fat girl who's about your age around here?Copy !req
196. Nope.Copy !req
197. Sorry to bother you.
Okay, let's check over there!Copy !req
198. Yes, sir!Copy !req
199. Damn, you're persistent!Copy !req
200. Who's out there?Copy !req
201. Answer one question.
Where did you get the koban?Copy !req
202. As I suspected, that money has a history...Copy !req
203. I'm under no obligation to answer you.Copy !req
204. My back...Copy !req
205. Master Jin...!Copy !req
206. This can't be... How did you—Copy !req
207. Who are you?Copy !req
208. The daughter of Shogunate secret
service officer, Jinpachi of Iga!Copy !req
209. Yatsuha!Copy !req
210. Now I see... You're Jinpachi's daughter.Copy !req
211. Imagine, the revival of the
Tsuda clan being thwartedCopy !req
212. by a blood relative of the same clan of
ninja mercenaries that brought us down...Copy !req
213. Well, no matter.Copy !req
214. "Yoshinoya"Copy !req
215. For the past year, we were hiding here
and secretly investigating these guys,Copy !req
216. and we were finally able to arrest them.Copy !req
217. We owe it all to you.Copy !req
218. That's okay, I don't need no thanks.Copy !req
219. That is, just so long as
you keep your promise...!Copy !req
220. Look! A naked woman!Copy !req
221. Yatsuha, are you sure he's gonna be
okay if we leave him here like this?Copy !req
222. It looked like he had traveling companions.
They'll probably come looking for him.Copy !req
223. Come on, let's get moving.
It's a long way to Edo.Copy !req
224. I just hope the crows don't eat him first.Copy !req
225. He'll be fine. He's not that delicate.Copy !req
226. After all, that's the man
who's gonna be my husband.Copy !req
227. I'm in love!Copy !req
228. Bye-bye. Once both our journeys
are over, I'll come find you.Copy !req
229. A-Are you serious?Copy !req
230. I'm starving to death!Copy !req
231. My back...Copy !req
