1. Kariya.Copy !req
2. My goodness, to what do I
owe the honor, Councilor?Copy !req
3. I take it that you know why I'm here?Copy !req
4. I believe I have a good idea.Copy !req
5. We are in a race against time.Copy !req
6. They say that criminal from the Ryukyus
and that ronin who betrayed the Muju dojoCopy !req
7. are both swordsmen of considerable skill.Copy !req
8. So I have heard.Copy !req
9. They also say that they will make
contact with Seizo Kasumi any day now.Copy !req
10. It will prove problematic
if they meet up with himCopy !req
11. before we eliminate the remnants
of the Shimabara Rebellion.Copy !req
12. Councilor.Copy !req
13. Since you have come all this way, would you
care to take in the flowers of my garden?Copy !req
14. I don't have time for
flowers at a time like this.Copy !req
15. Do you know the proper method
of eliminating weeds, sir?Copy !req
16. Weeds leech away nutrients that the
flowers need, causing them to wither and die.Copy !req
17. That being said, if you uproot the weeds,Copy !req
18. you also kill the flowers that are
growing in the same patch of soil.Copy !req
19. How do you go about it?Copy !req
20. You should plant flowers that will
also use the weeds as nourishment.Copy !req
21. Flowers such as this one,
whose beautiful exterior belies its brutality.Copy !req
22. I've been told that Sara was killed.Copy !req
23. If they are skilled enough
to kill someone of her caliber,Copy !req
24. perhaps this merits drawing my
own sword for the first time in ages.Copy !req
25. Excuse me?Copy !req
26. I shall see to this personally.Copy !req
27. Councilor, begging your pardon, but...Copy !req
28. But what?Copy !req
29. Master Kariya does nothing
but admire his flowers.Copy !req
30. No one I know has ever seen him draw his sword.Copy !req
31. Pardon my saying so, but I'm
not confident that he is capableCopy !req
32. of carrying out such an important task.Copy !req
33. I see.Copy !req
34. You're young. It's not surprising
that you don't know about him.Copy !req
35. Sir?Copy !req
36. You ask why he doesn't draw his sword?Copy !req
37. It's because there are no
opponents worthy of him.Copy !req
38. Kagetoki Kariya is the kenjutsu master who
was once known as the Hand of the Gods.Copy !req
39. He is...?!Copy !req
40. There probably isn't anyone in this world
who is capable of killing that man.Copy !req
41. "Evanescent Encounter
"Copy !req
42. So anyway, how much farther is it to Nagasaki?Copy !req
43. Actually, we've already passed Nagasaki.Copy !req
44. Ikitsuki Island is a little
to the north of Nagasaki.Copy !req
45. Once we cross this mountain,
it will be a stone's throw away.Copy !req
46. What the hell? We've been
busting our asses all this time,Copy !req
47. and we made it without even knowing it.Copy !req
48. We're here, huh? It doesn't seem real.Copy !req
49. It seemed like we'd never arrive,
but we're finally about to get there...Copy !req
50. Maybe, but even if we get to that
Whatchamacallit Island place,Copy !req
51. that doesn't mean that we're
gonna find your Sunflower Samurai.Copy !req
52. Well, yeah... I guess it doesn't.Copy !req
53. Hey, doesn't it seem a little strange?Copy !req
54. What does?Copy !req
55. I mean, we've been traveling
together all this time,Copy !req
56. but we don't know anything
at all about each other.Copy !req
57. Like what we were doing before
we set out, that sort of thing.Copy !req
58. I suppose that's true.Copy !req
59. In that case, why don't we take turnsCopy !req
60. and reveal one thing that we've
kept secret about our pasts?Copy !req
61. 'Cause we might not get a
chance to talk about it later...Copy !req
62. What's gotten into her?Copy !req
63. She's being "centimeter."Copy !req
64. "Centimeter"?Copy !req
65. It's a female emotion that they
discovered in Western Europe.Copy !req
66. I suspect that she's emotionally worked up.Copy !req
67. Are you even listening?
Okay, Mugen, you're first.Copy !req
68. Me?Copy !req
69. I don't really have any secrets or anything.
I've been up to no good my whole life.Copy !req
70. We already know that.Copy !req
71. Also, I like chicks with big hooters.Copy !req
72. We know that, too.Copy !req
73. Hey, I know. There was one time when
I got into a fight while I was on the road.Copy !req
74. I ended up killing some weird old geezer.Copy !req
75. Weird? Weird how?Copy !req
76. He said something like, "Can you not
see this box with the Shogun's crest?"Copy !req
77. So I went, "No, I can't," and I killed the dude.Copy !req
78. Hey, now... Wasn't that dangerous?Copy !req
79. "Dangerous" is hardly what I would call it.
It's a wonder that you're still alive.Copy !req
80. Okay, Jin, you go next.Copy !req
81. Begin!Copy !req
82. What were you doing before
you met the two of us?Copy !req
83. I had been traveling for a long time.Copy !req
84. I lost my parents while I was still a child,Copy !req
85. and was left in the care of
the Muju Shin Kenjutsu dojo.Copy !req
86. However...Copy !req
87. Ever since I was a child, I had done nothing
but train in kenjutsu day in and day out.Copy !req
88. I had always been alone.Copy !req
89. None of the other children were a match for me.Copy !req
90. They all feared me, were jealous
of me, and shunned me.Copy !req
91. Your eyes see too much.
Your strength has no grounding.Copy !req
92. That means that your strength is strength
that exists for no one but yourself.Copy !req
93. Eventually, I was made to bear
the shame of killing my masterCopy !req
94. and was driven from the dojo.Copy !req
95. I was on the road ever since that day,
traveling in search of something.Copy !req
96. But even I had no idea
what it was that I was searching for.Copy !req
97. It may be that I was simply running away.Copy !req
98. Now it's your turn.Copy !req
99. Ever since I was little,
my mother and I lived by ourselves.Copy !req
100. I had always thought that my father
had died a long time earlier.Copy !req
101. But as my mother lay sick
and dying, she told me the truth.Copy !req
102. She said that she was certain that
my father was still alive somewhere.Copy !req
103. He had left my mother and me
a long time ago and gone somewhere.Copy !req
104. Mother didn't sound all that mad at him,
but I couldn't forgive him.Copy !req
105. So I was gonna find him no matter what
and slug him one for my mother.Copy !req
106. That's what I decided to do.Copy !req
107. But I could never work up the
courage to set out on the journey.Copy !req
108. And then I met you two at that tea house.Copy !req
109. That's when it hit me.Copy !req
110. I thought, "Something tells me that if I go with
these two, I might just be able to pull it off. "Copy !req
111. Thanks, you two. Thanks for
coming all this way with me.Copy !req
112. Is something the matter?Copy !req
113. No, it's nothing.Copy !req
114. It's nothing...Copy !req
115. Fuu.Copy !req
116. Once you find the Sunflower Samurai,
what do you intend to do after that?Copy !req
117. That's a good question. I really
ought to give that some thought.Copy !req
118. If I should--Copy !req
119. You know, I don't really want
to think about stuff like that.Copy !req
120. If you did, that jerk Mugen would...Copy !req
121. Sorry... I'm sorry.Copy !req
122. Well?Copy !req
123. --I-It's them, all right...
--I see.Copy !req
124. I wanna kill'em! I wanna kill'em soon!Copy !req
125. Don't be so hasty.
Hang in there for a little longer.Copy !req
126. You there!Copy !req
127. Do you know who set this
campfire here yesterday?Copy !req
128. No idea.Copy !req
129. We don't take kindly to outsiders, so go away.Copy !req
130. Hey! Forget that you saw us, all right?Copy !req
131. I guess that just saying that won't do any good.Copy !req
132. "Time Flies Like an Arrow"Copy !req
133. "In Times of Need,
You Learn Who Your Friends Are"Copy !req
134. Wow, look at that!Copy !req
135. C'mon, don't answer me with your stomachs.Copy !req
136. First things first. Food.Copy !req
137. Ikitsuki Island?
You'll have to take a boat across.Copy !req
138. Here you go. One order of Shabu-shabu.Copy !req
139. Whoa, what is this? Meat?Copy !req
140. It's because this area has
picked up European eating habits.Copy !req
141. Hey, is it just me, or is this stuff raw?Copy !req
142. Um... You pass it through
the hot water and eat it.Copy !req
143. It doesn't take much to cook it.Copy !req
144. Hell, I'll try anything once.Copy !req
145. Wait just a minute!Copy !req
146. Human nature comes out when
you share a single pot like this.Copy !req
147. Let me lay down the rules here.Copy !req
148. Eat in this order:
meat, vegetables, meat, vegetables.Copy !req
149. Keep alternating like that, and-- Hey, wait!Copy !req
150. Don't start without me!Copy !req
151. Mugen, you're eating nothing but meat!Copy !req
152. Bite me, pothead.Copy !req
153. You've got to follow the--
Hey, Jin! You're eating nothing but meat, too!Copy !req
154. --Delicious.
--Like I care about the rules.Copy !req
155. Survival of the fittest is the way of the world.Copy !req
156. This is surprisingly good.Copy !req
157. Oh, damn it! You two only think of yourselves!Copy !req
158. There's one! There's a boat!Copy !req
159. I forgot to buy souvenirs!Copy !req
160. --Souvenirs?
--Some castella cakes.Copy !req
161. --Will you two go buy some for me?
--Now look here...Copy !req
162. Look, the money's right in here.
Quit your grumbling and get going!Copy !req
163. I'll handle the negotiations for our boat fare.Copy !req
164. What was that all about? Here.Copy !req
165. What can I get you?Copy !req
166. A criminal from the Ryukyus
by the name of Mugen was here, right?Copy !req
167. Who are you?Copy !req
168. If you're trying to hide him,
that's fine with me.Copy !req
169. But one of my men wants to kill
someone so badly that he can taste it.Copy !req
170. I'm not too sure if I can
keep him under control.Copy !req
171. W-Wait a minute! Please! Stop!Copy !req
172. I-I don't know if it was him or not,Copy !req
173. but a man with a strange sword and clothes
said he was going to I-Ikitsuki Island...Copy !req
174. Forget that you saw us come in here.Copy !req
175. Don't tell anyone. Got it?Copy !req
176. I-I understand. I won't tell anyone.Copy !req
177. Now that's not nice.Copy !req
178. Didn't we tell you not to tell anyone?Copy !req
179. We just need to buy any damn thing, right?Copy !req
180. Yes, but these are rather expensive.Copy !req
181. How much is in her purse?Copy !req
182. We're about to leave!Copy !req
183. Okay, I'll be right there!Copy !req
184. Is there a problem?Copy !req
185. No, I--Copy !req
186. We're leaving!Copy !req
187. Um... Is your name Seizo Kasumi?Copy !req
188. I'm sorry. What am I saying?Copy !req
189. I mistook you for someone else. I'm sorry.Copy !req
190. What's the deal?Copy !req
191. It's Fuu.Copy !req
192. It would've been too hard to say
goodbye, so I'm going by myself.Copy !req
193. I really enjoyed the talk we had
around the campfire last night.Copy !req
194. I thought to myself, " I wish
that this could go on forever."Copy !req
195. But then I got scared all of a sudden.Copy !req
196. If something happened and we
were split up, what would happen?Copy !req
197. Maybe I'd been relying on
you guys too much all this time.Copy !req
198. Would I be able to make it on my own
once this journey ended and I was on my own?Copy !req
199. I gave that a lot of thought.Copy !req
200. And that's why I'm going by myself.Copy !req
201. Just one last thing.Copy !req
202. I know you said that you'd put off
your duel until this journey ended,Copy !req
203. but I don't want you two to kill each other.Copy !req
204. The souvenir castella cakes
are a farewell gift from me.Copy !req
205. Please reconsider your plan
while you're eating them.Copy !req
206. Bye. I hope we meet again someday.Copy !req
207. I'm looking for someone.Copy !req
208. A man by the name of Seizo Kasumi.Copy !req
209. I heard that he was on this island!Copy !req
210. Do you have a death wish?Copy !req
211. No, sir. I'm just looking for someone.Copy !req
212. Long ago, this village was peaceful.Copy !req
213. If those Christians hadn't come here,Copy !req
214. our families and homes
wouldn't have been burned.Copy !req
215. Get out. And don't you ever
speak that name again.Copy !req
216. --Come here!
--Look!Copy !req
217. Just come here!Copy !req
218. This person that you're looking for...
Who is he to you?Copy !req
219. He's my father...Copy !req
220. Oh.Copy !req
221. On the cape to the north, there's
a house standing there by itself.Copy !req
222. Go there.Copy !req
223. You should hurry. He doesn't have much longer.Copy !req
224. Thank you so much!Copy !req
225. Thank you!Copy !req
226. Only hope can give rise to
the emotion we call despair.Copy !req
227. But it is difficult for man to
live completely without hope.Copy !req
228. In other words, man has no choice but
to live with despair as his companion.Copy !req
229. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
230. If you're looking for Kasumi's daughter,
she's crossed over to the island.Copy !req
231. You know him, then? You know Seizo Kasumi?Copy !req
232. He's a felon who had his soul
stolen by that foreign religionCopy !req
233. and abandoned this country.Copy !req
234. I've heard that he fled here to Kyushu and
was even involved in the Shimabara Rebellion.Copy !req
235. He's the man that the Shogunate
wants eliminated more than any other.Copy !req
236. They've also known all along that
his daughter was trying to find him.Copy !req
237. They've let her run free all this time in order
to discover Kasumi's whereabouts, you see.Copy !req
238. And now, although it pains me to say it,
I will have to insist that you two die here.Copy !req
239. Are you here by yourself?
You got a big pair on ya.Copy !req
240. Come. Don't disappoint me.Copy !req
241. Don't be in such a rush, little girl.Copy !req
242. I know what it's like...
Life can be such a bitch, can't it?Copy !req
243. You travel such a long way,
and it all blows up in your faceCopy !req
244. right before you reach your destination.Copy !req
245. That's right, I want him to get
a good taste of that feeling.Copy !req
246. I want him to understand how we feel.Copy !req
247. W-What are you talking about?Copy !req
248. I'm saying that this place will be your grave.Copy !req
