So, what are you guys getting?Copy !req
16. Seafood style. With oysters.Copy !req
17. You got it. And you, buddy?Copy !req
18. Gimme what this guy's having.Copy !req
19. Coming right up.Copy !req
20. You keep ordering the same thing as Jin or me.Copy !req
21. You can eat whatever you want, you know?Copy !req
22. I don't got much choice.Copy !req
23. But everything's written there
on the menu, plain as day.Copy !req
24. That's my point. I can't understand it, okay?Copy !req
25. Are you telling me that you can't read?Copy !req
26. This one here is "no."Copy !req
27. So's this one. And this one, too.Copy !req
28. See, I can read just fine.Copy !req
29. What's this one, then?Copy !req
30. --"No," I guess.
--It's "me."Copy !req
31. You little bitch, that was a trick question!Copy !req
32. Are you telling me that you
can only read one letter?Copy !req
33. Being able to read one is
more than enough, you know?Copy !req
34. Now that you mention it,
I've never seen you read anything before.Copy !req
35. I can get by just fine
without being able to read.Copy !req
36. Isn't it amazing that in all the time
we've been traveling together,Copy !req
37. we've never noticed that he can't read?Copy !req
38. Hey, you just laughed, didn't you?!Copy !req
39. Listen up, you don't need to
be able to read to kill people.Copy !req
40. What's that crap you're spoutin', boy?!Copy !req
41. It's okay for a fool to stay a fool, huh?
Don't give me that pathetic garbage!Copy !req
42. Listen good!Copy !req
43. Every word has a soul in it!Copy !req
44. If you don't know the letters that convey
that soul, you're the one who loses out.Copy !req
45. When you're illiterate, you're
automatically branded as an idiot!Copy !req
46. Don't that piss you off, boy?!Copy !req
47. Well?! Don't it?!Copy !req
48. Are you okay with bein' an idiot?!Copy !req
49. Are you?!Copy !req
50. He passed out...Copy !req
51. Let's see... How much do we owe?Copy !req
52. D'oh! We're short!Copy !req
53. Put it on this old dude's tab, okay?Copy !req
54. --Sure thing!
--What? But...Copy !req
55. Don't sweat it. Call it a nuisance fee.Copy !req
56. Let's go.Copy !req
57. Sorry, mister!Copy !req
58. Mister? C'mon, wake up. Time to settle up.Copy !req
59. All together, it comes to 13 shu.Copy !req
60. What the hell is this?!Copy !req
61. We keep painting it over
and over... It's a vicious circle.Copy !req
62. They're getting awfully cocky.Copy !req
63. Um, pardon me, ladies.
Do you know who painted this?Copy !req
64. Of course we don't! If we did,
we would've had'em arrested ages ago!Copy !req
65. I-I see...Copy !req
66. I'm sorry, but there is someone over
in Mihara to whom I am indebted,Copy !req
67. so I would like to stop by and pay my respects.Copy !req
68. Mihara's pretty far away from here.
Who would you be willing to go that far to see?Copy !req
69. An old girlfriend?Copy !req
70. To anyone who aspires to
mastery of the martial arts,Copy !req
71. Mihara is a town that cannot be passed by.Copy !req
72. Among all the town's dojos, the best one in
which to study general weapons mastery...Copy !req
73. is Gojuu Hall.Copy !req
74. Under the tutelage of
Master Junosuke Niwa, I once--Copy !req
75. Fine, go have fun!Copy !req
76. And make sure you ask him if he knows
anything about the sunflower samurai, okay?Copy !req
77. Hey, deep down, you really want
to learn how to read, don't you?Copy !req
78. Just drop it.Copy !req
79. I'll teach you.Copy !req
80. Look, that's "sa," and "n," and "jou."Copy !req
81. That means"was here." Got it?Copy !req
82. That's the bastard who stiffed me yesterday...Copy !req
83. What the heck does 4-6-4-9 mean?Copy !req
84. Oh, it's "yoroshiku"!
"Nice to meet you" ! Get it?Copy !req
85. Huh?Copy !req
86. "Gojuu Hall"Copy !req
87. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
88. What do you think you're doing here?Copy !req
89. Sorry, pal, but this is our team's turf.Copy !req
90. Listen up, pops. I think we're gonna
collect a little relaxation fee from you.Copy !req
91. He's telling you to hand over your money!Copy !req
92. --S-Stay away!
--S-Stay away!Copy !req
93. This is a place where those who strive
to master the martial arts gather together.Copy !req
94. This is no place for the likes
of you to be loitering around.Copy !req
95. Sorry, mister. But the thing is,
this is our hideout.Copy !req
96. Where might I find Master Niwa?Copy !req
97. Master Niwa?Copy !req
98. Oh, if you mean the bosses,
they're in town right now.Copy !req
99. What?Copy !req
100. Darn that Mugen... He's always
disappearing into thin air.Copy !req
101. --I'm the boss!
--No way! I'm the boss!Copy !req
102. Is that how you show your
respect towards your elder brother?!Copy !req
103. You were only born one stinkin' minute
before me, so don't pull that big brother crap!Copy !req
104. You think that a guy who can't keep
junior and senior rankings straightCopy !req
105. is cut out to be the boss?!Copy !req
106. What do you think this is,
some procession of feudal lords?Copy !req
107. That way of thinking is so behind the times!Copy !req
108. Just looking at that face
of yours pisses me off.Copy !req
109. You took the words right outta my mouth.Copy !req
110. What're they talking about?
Their faces are identical.Copy !req
111. --Who talked just now?!
--Who talked just now?!Copy !req
112. --Pretty...
--Pretty...Copy !req
113. Stop copying me!Copy !req
114. You're the one who's copying me, you dick!Copy !req
115. Those big brown eyes are so cute!Copy !req
116. You're wrong!Copy !req
117. The way her mouth is a
little coy is seriously sexy!Copy !req
118. Goodness.Copy !req
119. And that voice like a bell is so sweet!Copy !req
120. No way!Copy !req
121. The way her little nose is turned up
just a little bit is so honey-bunny!Copy !req
122. Hey, you two!Copy !req
123. --She's mine.
--She's mine.Copy !req
124. It's been a long time.Copy !req
125. Tatsunoshin. Kazunosuke.Copy !req
126. --It can't be!
--Big bro Jin...!Copy !req
127. You know these two?Copy !req
128. That hurt!Copy !req
129. Just who the hell are you?!Copy !req
130. My name is Bundai.Copy !req
131. "Private School Bundai Hall"Copy !req
132. This here is a private school.
"Private School Bundai Hall"Copy !req
133. This here is a private school.Copy !req
134. And under this roof,
you will address me as Sensei!Copy !req
135. You're a teacher?Copy !req
136. You can keep trying to solve all your
problems by force the way you're doing now,Copy !req
137. but that won't stop the world from turning.Copy !req
138. You can't build a castle if
all you've got is carpenters.Copy !req
139. What you need is a wood plane.Copy !req
140. And even if you've got wood planes,Copy !req
141. you'll get hurt if they aren't
kept good and sharp at all times.Copy !req
142. First, you sharpen your plane.Copy !req
143. Cause that's the first tool that you'll use.Copy !req
144. Take your seat, boy.Copy !req
145. I'm about to teach you how to read.Copy !req
146. "Drills"Copy !req
147. Doesn't it piss you off?!Copy !req
148. To have your companions mock you like that?!Copy !req
149. Are you kidding me?! You can't read?!Copy !req
150. "No"Copy !req
151. All right, damn it, you're on!Copy !req
152. Why do you quarrel with one another?Copy !req
153. As brothers, should you
not be helping one anotherCopy !req
154. and mastering the path that
your father handed down to you?Copy !req
155. What do you expect?Copy !req
156. Nobody takes over as heads of families or
follows in their father's footsteps these days.Copy !req
157. Hell, when somebody offs themselves,Copy !req
158. they're only screwing over
the ones they're leaving behind.Copy !req
159. Besides, the way this guy dresses scares people.Copy !req
160. Come back and try saying that again after
you've washed that filthy mug of yours!Copy !req
161. Say what?!Copy !req
162. You want some, pinhead?Copy !req
163. Enough of this.Copy !req
164. If this is the case, settle the matter with
swords like true heirs of Gojuu Hall.Copy !req
165. --We're no good with those.
--We're no good with those.Copy !req
166. In that case, what could act as a
substitute for a sword for the two of you?Copy !req
167. --That'd be...
--Yeah, definitely that.Copy !req
168. Your graffiti?Copy !req
169. That's not quite right, bro.Copy !req
170. It might look like ordinary graffiti to you, but
it's something that we've devoted our lives to.Copy !req
171. So in that sense, it's no different from
the way Pop devoted himself to the sword.Copy !req
172. It's called tagging, and it's like
it proves that we're alive.Copy !req
173. That ain't right.Copy !req
174. We try to tag the most dangerous places.Copy !req
175. "Police"
We try to tag the most dangerous places.Copy !req
176. "Police"
Places that nobody else
has ever tagged before.Copy !req
177. "Police"
Places that nobody else
has ever tagged before.Copy !req
178. "Live in the Moment"Copy !req
179. "Live in the Moment"
It's like the only time we're really alive
is when we're experiencing that thrill.Copy !req
180. They're both saying pretty
much the same thing, huh?Copy !req
181. Okay, then. You should duel each
other using this tagging of yours.Copy !req
182. --How do we do that?
--How do we do that?Copy !req
183. You could say that the winner will be the one
who tags the most dangerous place, right?Copy !req
184. --In that case...
--The prize has to be...Copy !req
185. Oh, goodness... Whatever shall I do?Copy !req
186. --Bro, please act as the judge!
--Bro, please act as the judge!Copy !req
187. What's this one?Copy !req
188. It's "re."Copy !req
189. You dumbass! This one is "ne"!Copy !req
190. You can tell it's "ne" cause it's got
this little loop on the end here!Copy !req
191. This one with the swoop
on the end, that one's "re"!Copy !req
192. How many times do I gotta explain it?!Copy !req
193. This is so damn confusing!Copy !req
194. What's the matter, my good first grade pupil?Copy !req
195. Are you crying uncle? Are you?
Are you gonna turn tail?Copy !req
196. The way all these letters look
so much alike pisses me off!Copy !req
197. If you've got complaints to make, I'll listen
to 'em after you've passed these drills!Copy !req
198. This is awfully unusual for you, isn't it?
Acting as a mediator all of a sudden...Copy !req
199. I mean, this is just a simple
brawl between brothers, right?Copy !req
200. Their father, the man I am indebted to,
once asked something of me.Copy !req
201. There is now nothing more that I can teach you.Copy !req
202. Return to your master and walk
our path with your head held high.Copy !req
203. Yes, sir.Copy !req
204. I have a favor to ask of you.Copy !req
205. If anything should ever happen to me,
I ask that you look after my sons.Copy !req
206. --C'mon, Kazu!
--Wait up, Tatsu!Copy !req
207. Tag!Copy !req
208. "Niwa Family"Copy !req
209. This is a surprise... Do you remember me?Copy !req
210. It has been a long time, sir.Copy !req
211. --I see you've grown into a fine young man.
--Not at all.Copy !req
212. My, what fine flowers you've placed there...Copy !req
213. They're just wild chrysanthemums
that I found over there.Copy !req
214. No, it is the thought that counts.Copy !req
215. I'm sure that Master Niwa
is smiling beyond the grave.Copy !req
216. What was it that happened?Copy !req
217. Of all the earthly emotions of men,
jealousy may be the most powerful.Copy !req
218. There was no dojo in the area
that surpassed Gojuu Hall.Copy !req
219. The masters of the other dojos
curried favor with the local lordCopy !req
220. and made false accusations against Master Niwa.Copy !req
221. He was ordered to either close his doors
and take down his sign or cut off his own arm.Copy !req
222. And so, in order to leave the dojo to
his sons, he committed ritual suicide.Copy !req
223. But his young sons were unable to
appreciate their father's strengthCopy !req
224. and learn from his example.Copy !req
225. With the way those two are behaving,
his memory will never be respected.Copy !req
226. "Re"! "Ne"! "No"! "Me"!Copy !req
227. "A"! "O"!Copy !req
228. All questions answered correctly!Copy !req
229. Damn straight. What else did you expect?Copy !req
230. And now, use the letters you've
learned to write your own story!Copy !req
231. Write it bigger than anybody else!Copy !req
232. --Got it?!
--Hell, yeah!Copy !req
233. Hey, where the heck have you been?!Copy !req
234. Oh, around...Copy !req
235. Geez, we've got a serious situation here!Copy !req
236. Two men who are vying for my attention
are fighting each other at this very minute.Copy !req
237. Sounds rough, all right.Copy !req
238. Um... I think they called it
jogging or something.Copy !req
239. It's a life-or-death struggle using letters!Copy !req
240. Letters, you say?Copy !req
241. Stop! Police!Copy !req
242. --Police!
--Stop in the name of the law!Copy !req
243. What the hell is this?Copy !req
244. This is terrible! Somebody, help!Copy !req
245. The reds... The blues... How lovely.Copy !req
246. I got you beat!Copy !req
247. You wish!Copy !req
248. No, you wish!Copy !req
249. The duel will never be settled at this rate.Copy !req
250. Well, is there anywhere that
you haven't put graffiti on yet?Copy !req
251. Well...Copy !req
252. Yeah, there's one.Copy !req
253. --Hiroshima Castle!
--Hiroshima Castle!Copy !req
254. Hold it!Copy !req
255. Come along peacefully!Copy !req
256. "Okonomiyaki"Copy !req
257. Ya know I don't get it. Why do you
suppose they picked Hiroshima Castle?
"Okonomiyaki"Copy !req
258. They're getting revenge in their own way.
"Okonomiyaki"Copy !req
259. They're getting revenge in their own way.Copy !req
260. The revenge against the lord that
their father was unable to get himself.Copy !req
261. It's wrong! They should be ashamed!Copy !req
262. I know what you mean.
Kids these days don't have any respect.Copy !req
263. You're writing it wrong!Copy !req
264. Magnificent...! This is
what I've been looking for!Copy !req
265. Who the hell is that?!Copy !req
266. Come back here!Copy !req
267. I'm number one!Copy !req
268. So, who won the duel?Copy !req
269. Neither one of us. Somebody beat us to it.Copy !req
270. We got beat by some mystery man.Copy !req
271. It's a big world. There's always
somebody better than you.Copy !req
272. What is important is that you
have learned that lesson.Copy !req
273. Then I guess nobody wins me, either.Copy !req
274. --Let us cop a quick feel before you go!
--Let us cop a quick feel before you go!Copy !req
275. Huh? Hey, now!Copy !req
276. She's so cute!Copy !req
277. Awesome! Just look at those round eyes!Copy !req
278. --She's so soft!
--What's up with that?Copy !req
279. I recognize your talent for what it is!Copy !req
280. You must be the tagging team
that has this town all abuzz.Copy !req
281. What if we are?Copy !req
282. Who are you people?Copy !req
283. How delightfully cool!Copy !req
284. Boys, I will make you famous!Copy !req
285. You boys have it in you to become designersCopy !req
286. who will breathe fresh air
into this stagnant industry!Copy !req
287. I just know it!Copy !req
288. So, who are you?Copy !req
289. The textile merchant who
is known to all in Ura-Edo.Copy !req
290. I am Uhori from the Ando Store.
A pleasure, I'm sure.Copy !req
291. Nothing doing.Copy !req
292. Before that, you do have
something else to see to!Copy !req
293. You've been writing everything wrong!Copy !req
294. --Aw, Teach!
--Aw, Teach!Copy !req
295. You're gonna hit the books first! Got it?!Copy !req
296. Are you serious?!Copy !req
297. Come back!Copy !req
298. What's the matter?Copy !req
299. This one! And this one, too!Copy !req
300. What's going on here?!Copy !req
301. Hey, you jerk!Copy !req
302. What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
303. You gotta write your name
on your stuff, you know?Copy !req
304. That symbol--Copy !req
305. "Mugen," it means "infinite." I made it myself.Copy !req
306. Wait, don't tell me that
the man last night was--Copy !req
307. "Ura-Edo"Copy !req
308. Later when the two young men traveled to Edo
"Ura-Edo"Copy !req
309. they blew a breath of fresh
air into the fashion world,Copy !req
310. and their designs spread from
Ura-Edo Avenue to all across the country.Copy !req
311. "Niwa"
and their designs spread from
Ura-Edo Avenue to all across the country.Copy !req
312. "Niwa"
And people came to call these
two men "The Embodiment of Graffiti."Copy !req
313. To be continued!Copy !req
