1. When I was little,
my father was famous.
Copy !req
2. He was the greatest samurai
in the Empire.
Copy !req
3. He was the Shogun's decapitator.
Copy !req
4. He cut out the head of 131
lords for the Shogun.
Copy !req
5. It was a bad time
for the Empire.
Copy !req
6. The Shogun just stayed inside this
castle, and he never came out.
Copy !req
7. People said his brain
was infected by devils
Copy !req
8. And Daddy's is brought in with evil.
Copy !req
9. The Shogun said his
people were not loyal.
Copy !req
10. He said he had a lot of enemies,
Copy !req
11. but he killed more people than that.
Copy !req
12. It was a bad time.
Copy !req
13. Everybody's living in fear.
Copy !req
14. But still we were happy.
Copy !req
15. My father would come home to mother,
Copy !req
16. and when he sees her,
he would forget about the killings.
Copy !req
17. He wasn't scared of the Shogun,
but the Shogun was scared of him.
Copy !req
18. Husband...
Copy !req
19. Maybe that was the problem.
Copy !req
20. Azami.
Copy !req
21. I had a bad dream.
Copy !req
22. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
23. Bad dreams are only dreams.
Copy !req
24. What a time you chose to be born,
Daigoro!
Copy !req
25. At night, mother
would sing for us.
Copy !req
26. My father would go into the temple
and pray for peace,
Copy !req
27. He prayed for things to get better.
Copy !req
28. Then one night...
Copy !req
29. The Shogun sent his
ninja spies to our house.
Copy !req
30. They're supposed to kill my father
Copy !req
31. But they didn't.
Copy !req
32. That was the night everything changed.
Copy !req
33. Forever.
Copy !req
34. Azami...
Copy !req
35. Azami, your dream has come true!
Copy !req
36. Dai ... Daigoro...
Copy !req
37. You must protect our son.
Copy !req
38. They will pay
Copy !req
39. In rivers of blood.
Copy !req
40. That was when my father
left his samurai life
Copy !req
41. and became a demon.
Copy !req
42. He became an assassin,
Copy !req
43. who walks on the road of vengeance.
Copy !req
44. And he took me with him.
Copy !req
45. I don't remember most of it myself.
Copy !req
46. I only remember the Shogun's ninjas
Copy !req
47. hunting us wherever we go.
Copy !req
48. And the bodies falling...
Copy !req
49. And the blood.
Copy !req
50. You are marching toward death
Copy !req
51. wherever you go,
Copy !req
52. you cannot escape the Shogun.
Copy !req
53. My father hardly ever talks anymore.
Copy !req
54. We just go a little farther everyday.
Copy !req
55. At night, we make a fire,
Copy !req
56. have our tea
Copy !req
57. and we listen for the ninjas.
Copy !req
58. We never make a sound.
Copy !req
59. Sometimes he tells me about the past
Copy !req
60. and about mother.
Copy !req
61. I try not to think about it
Copy !req
62. but my father can't
help it.
Copy !req
63. Sometimes he gets lost
Copy !req
64. in the past.
Copy !req
65. Daigoro.
Copy !req
66. I have decided to escape
Copy !req
67. and defy the Shogun.
Copy !req
68. Today I will begin walking the road to hell.
Copy !req
69. But you will choose
your own path.
Copy !req
70. So...
Copy !req
71. soon you may be seeing heaven.
Copy !req
72. Choose the sword
Copy !req
73. and you will join me.
Copy !req
74. Choose the ball
Copy !req
75. and you'll join your mother
in death.
Copy !req
76. You do not understand my words,
but you must choose.
Copy !req
77. Come, my boy.
Copy !req
78. Choose life or death.
Copy !req
79. Your mother would be happy.
Copy !req
80. My own son will defy the Shogun.
Copy !req
81. You are my child.
Copy !req
82. Assassin with son.
Copy !req
83. By order of our lord Shogun,
Copy !req
84. in the name of Emperor Gonigi,
son of heaven.
Copy !req
85. You now have two choices:
Copy !req
86. Swear eternal loyalty to your master,
Copy !req
87. or commit harakiri
with your son.
Copy !req
88. You are wrong.
Copy !req
89. I have a third choice.
Copy !req
90. You mad man!
Copy !req
91. We command you!
Copy !req
92. He defies the Shogun's orders!
Guards!
Copy !req
93. Seize him! Stop him!
Copy !req
94. What are you waiting for? Kill him!
Copy !req
95. Can't you see he's a devil?
Kill him!
Copy !req
96. You fool, bow
before your Shogun.
Copy !req
97. We see you are trapped.
Copy !req
98. You can never escape
Copy !req
99. your fate:
Copy !req
100. some death with honor in duel
Copy !req
101. with my son, Lord Kurando.
Copy !req
102. Why don't you accept?
Copy !req
103. If you win,
Copy !req
104. the Shogun will not
challenge you anymore to come back.
Copy !req
105. How about it?
Copy !req
106. Accept this offer
Copy !req
107. or die here
Copy !req
108. now.
Copy !req
109. Defeat my son
in a fair fight
Copy !req
110. and you will win your freedom.
Copy !req
111. I agree.
Copy !req
112. My son Kurando, the massacrer
Copy !req
113. and his little bastard.
Copy !req
114. My strategy will not fail
Copy !req
115. What's his karma!
Copy !req
116. Sun in the heavens
Copy !req
117. blind the eyes of this mad wolf.
Copy !req
118. Fly, Kurando, my boy.
Copy !req
119. Fly to glory.
Copy !req
120. Sometimes we come to a town,
Copy !req
121. but it is bad for us.
Copy !req
122. Because we are
not like other people.
Copy !req
123. The towns are dangerous.
Copy !req
124. The Shogun's ninjas are
everywhere.
Copy !req
125. Our rooms are nice,
Copy !req
126. and we have hot baths.
Copy !req
127. Anybody could be a ninja
Copy !req
128. Even a pretty girl
or a nice lady.
Copy !req
129. And you never know who.
Copy !req
130. Hey.
Copy !req
131. Oh, how cute!
Copy !req
132. Oh, merci? Thank you very much. Thank you.
Copy !req
133. Can I roll it out to the back?
Copy !req
134. This way inside, please, thank you.
Copy !req
135. But sometimes you have to take a chance,
Copy !req
136. if you want to take a bath.
Copy !req
137. Let's rinse your feet.
Copy !req
138. There.
Copy !req
139. Matsu!
Copy !req
140. Yes?
Copy !req
141. Matsu! Why show your kindness to this guy?
Copy !req
142. You let that man in here!
Copy !req
143. It's just the kind of beggars!
Copy !req
144. Oh I too can see!
Copy !req
145. But don't you realize he's
a masterless samurai?
Copy !req
146. They reek of troubles!
Copy !req
147. If he doesn't pay,
he'll become violent.
Copy !req
148. This person involves first of us.
Copy !req
149. Sorry, sire, there's been a mistake,
Copy !req
150. we have no...
Copy !req
151. Can I pay now?
Copy !req
152. And, would you keep this for me?
Copy !req
153. One thousand pieces of gold.
Copy !req
154. Oh, so much?
Copy !req
155. I hope it's enough.
Copy !req
156. Thank you very much, I am honored.
Thank you.
Copy !req
157. Matsu, idiot servant!
Copy !req
158. We must wash their feet.
Copy !req
159. Oh, a strong little samurai boy!
Copy !req
160. I'll wash your feet.
Copy !req
161. Thank you.
Copy !req
162. Can we go?
Copy !req
163. Mostly, we just keep moving.
Copy !req
164. It's safer that way.
Copy !req
165. That's how I get my education.
Copy !req
166. Just seeing things
Copy !req
167. and always watching out for ninjas.
Copy !req
168. Sometimes I fall asleep,
Copy !req
169. but my father never does.
Copy !req
170. That's good, because one time
when I was sleeping,
Copy !req
171. the Shogun sent his
soldiers for me.
Copy !req
172. Assassin, show yourself!
Copy !req
173. This is Lord Bizen
your old comrade.
Copy !req
174. I bring a message from my father,
Copy !req
175. your former master.
Copy !req
176. You have won your liberty,
but not your son's.
Copy !req
177. Your son's life will be
payment for your foul crimes.
Copy !req
178. The slow death of your son
will be an example to all men.
Copy !req
179. Where is he?
Copy !req
180. Turn him over!
Copy !req
181. Prepare to witness his agony.
Copy !req
182. He is the son of a mad wolf.
Copy !req
183. Kill him!
Copy !req
184. Bizen, my son, you fool!
Copy !req
185. The wolf lured you to your grave.
Copy !req
186. But I will risk the life
of all my sons
Copy !req
187. to see his head on a stake.
Copy !req
188. Farewell, my son.
Copy !req
189. You!
Copy !req
190. Listen to me, Lone Wolf.
Copy !req
191. I want your head now.
Copy !req
192. You can not kill me.
Copy !req
193. By my eternal vow I will destroy you!
Copy !req
194. You and your son are cursed
Copy !req
195. for evermore!
Copy !req
196. Bring your ninjas.
I will kill them all!
Copy !req
197. I, Lord Kuragawa and
my ninja group greet you.
Copy !req
198. We are here to report
the Shogun's wishes.
Copy !req
199. My ninja women exists
to serve our master's move.
Copy !req
200. We hunt a man
called Lone Wolf
Copy !req
201. who fought a duel with our Shogun's heir.
Copy !req
202. What was the outcome of this duel?
Copy !req
203. Terrible.
Copy !req
204. Traitor!
Copy !req
205. Tell, please.
What can we do?
Copy !req
206. We have orders to kill him,
it won't be easy.
Copy !req
207. You fool!
Copy !req
208. Maybe Lone Wolf
would only toy with you.
Copy !req
209. May you want to see?
Copy !req
210. These are your men?
Copy !req
211. Yes.
Copy !req
212. Show me your strongest man.
Copy !req
213. Junai.
Copy !req
214. Junai, find the way from the room.
Copy !req
215. Yes.
Copy !req
216. Try to escape from the room.
Copy !req
217. This is your best man?
Lone Wolf would swallow him!
Copy !req
218. My women will execute him.
Copy !req
219. Always on the road, we stop
a lot at temples,
Copy !req
220. to pray for the souls of the dead.
Copy !req
221. That's how Kupel can find
my father.
Copy !req
222. And they hire us to kill someone
Copy !req
223. they are scared to kill themselves.
Copy !req
224. They put up pictures of
a wolf on their temple gates.
Copy !req
225. My father leaves a message.
Copy !req
226. Then we meet in secret.
Copy !req
227. Message... road side...
Copy !req
228. Lone Wolf must be near.
Copy !req
229. I am Hirado, local clan's chief.
Copy !req
230. We hear you will kill
a man for money.
Copy !req
231. They call me Lone Wolf,
assassin with son.
Copy !req
232. In fact they say that..
Copy !req
233. But you have to show me who you are,
something to assure me.
Copy !req
234. The Shogun must have sent him.
Copy !req
235. Is it enough proof?
Copy !req
236. Tend to him.
Copy !req
237. Assassin fees in advance.
Copy !req
238. Bring the money.
Copy !req
239. Check, please.
Copy !req
240. 1000 pieces of gold.
Copy !req
241. We need your help.
Copy !req
242. The men of our clan are proud
and dare to defy the Shogun
Copy !req
243. who's taxing us without mercy.
Copy !req
244. He takes 2/3 of our harvest,
and still think we cheat him!
Copy !req
245. That is why he has sent
his fanatical brother, Lord Kiru,
Copy !req
246. to infiltrate our brothers
with many ninja spies.
Copy !req
247. The Shogun's brother's methods
Copy !req
248. His ninja scours terrorize our people
by night with his supreme torturous methods.
Copy !req
249. Even now, they are probably
report him to Kiru.
Copy !req
250. But even worse, now the Shogun
is sending special escorts by ship
Copy !req
251. to bring Lord Kiru
safely home.
Copy !req
252. Three brothers are called
the "Masters of Death".
Copy !req
253. There are few who heard of them.
Copy !req
254. One brother uses the claws.
Copy !req
255. Another fight with a club.
Copy !req
256. The third uses nailed fists.
Copy !req
257. Together, they've killed many men.
Copy !req
258. We beg you, kill Lord Kiru
Copy !req
259. before they escort him across our borders.
Copy !req
260. You have our unworthy prayer
for the success of your mission.
Copy !req
261. We hope you will not fail.
Copy !req
262. The future of our clan
depends on you
Copy !req
263. When we're on the mission,
Copy !req
264. I keep count of how many ninjas
my father killed.
Copy !req
265. He says not to keep count
Copy !req
266. Always to pray for
their souls.
Copy !req
267. But if I don't keep count,
Copy !req
268. I don't know how many
souls to pray for.
Copy !req
269. So I keep count.
Copy !req
270. So far it's 342.
Copy !req
271. 34 ... 5
Copy !req
272. Daigoro!
Copy !req
273. I am the Supreme Ninja!
Copy !req
274. Father, are you cold?
Copy !req
275. We've met Lone Wolf.
Copy !req
276. Now may I suggest you put
your troops against him.
Copy !req
277. He fought and killed
all but two of them!
Copy !req
278. So what happened to your swordsmen
will happen to you too, next?
Copy !req
279. Sorry, but your women are
all dead.
Copy !req
280. This is intolerable.
He intimidated you.
Copy !req
281. Don't worry, we are very
sure he'll lose his power
Copy !req
282. when he's without his son.
Copy !req
283. So you see, the little boy
is the way to him.
Copy !req
284. Daigoro...
Copy !req
285. Prepare to die, Lone Wolf!
Copy !req
286. Shameless cheat!
Copy !req
287. You torture my boy.
Copy !req
288. The well is very deep.
Copy !req
289. Surrender now, or your
boy will drown.
Copy !req
290. Cheer up, Lone Wolf.
Copy !req
291. I refuse.
Copy !req
292. It is a certain death.
Copy !req
293. Throw away your sword.
Copy !req
294. Kill him if you dare.
It doesn't weaken me.
Copy !req
295. My son and I...
Copy !req
296. already have embraced our fate.
Copy !req
297. Almost too heroic for one
without another son.
Copy !req
298. In the sight of death,
my son will not give up.
Copy !req
299. Ninja, now you shall see...
Copy !req
300. You will wish you have been wiser.
Copy !req
301. Daigoro.
Copy !req
302. Soon you'll stand by your mother's side.
Copy !req
303. Understood?
Copy !req
304. Daigoro.
Copy !req
305. That was the first time
I ever saw my father
Copy !req
306. spare the life of an enemy.
Copy !req
307. He should have killed her,
Copy !req
308. but he didn't.
Copy !req
309. Maybe it's the way she looked at him
Copy !req
310. Maybe she reminded him of someone.
Copy !req
311. To find the Shogun's brother,
we had to take a ship.
Copy !req
312. It was fun.
Copy !req
313. But there are too many people
on the ship.
Copy !req
314. Too many dangerous people.
Copy !req
315. All aboard!
Copy !req
316. All new passengers, get out
your money, please!
Copy !req
317. Rebels.
Copy !req
318. The Shogun has many enemies.
Copy !req
319. Get rid of them, or the same
will happen to you.
Copy !req
320. Yes.
Copy !req
321. Now!
Copy !req
322. Yes!
Copy !req
323. With son?
Copy !req
324. Masters of Death ...
Scum!
Copy !req
325. Let me off at the next stop!
Copy !req
326. - Don't worry! I'll be the one they ha...
- Let me off!
Copy !req
327. - Do not do something!
- Do something!
Copy !req
328. Please!
Copy !req
329. It makes me sick!
Copy !req
330. Those swines will butcher anyone
who walks in their way.
Copy !req
331. It's just bad taste.
Copy !req
332. Never mind.
They'll never make it to shore.
Copy !req
333. I will see to that!
Copy !req
334. Sorry to bother you.
Will you return my knife?
Copy !req
335. Very strange.
Copy !req
336. These cases are filled with oil
disguised as soy sauce.
Copy !req
337. Someone plans to burn the ship?
Copy !req
338. Scums drinking sake!
Copy !req
339. I'll teach you to hurt
innocent people like that.
Copy !req
340. Good. Stay below.
Copy !req
341. Beings from hell. Now you roast!
Copy !req
342. Fire!
Copy !req
343. Listen to me.
You are trapped with a child.
Copy !req
344. In case you escape,
you should know:
Copy !req
345. We recognize you. The Shogun will
never forget about what was.
Copy !req
346. We've sworn to deliver
Lord Kiru.
Copy !req
347. But we will not attack you, as long as
you make no move against him.
Copy !req
348. If you move, you will see some bloodshed
Copy !req
349. You'd be wise not
to follow us.
Copy !req
350. Even your mystic play is no match
to the Masters of Death.
Copy !req
351. Daigoro, be brave.
Copy !req
352. Daigoro.
Copy !req
353. There's no fire.
Copy !req
354. We must warm ourselves or die.
Copy !req
355. How can't I? You saved me.
Copy !req
356. You are trembling.
Copy !req
357. More afraid of peace
than war?
Copy !req
358. We felt bad
leaving her there.
Copy !req
359. We knew she would have to
go back to the Shogun...
Copy !req
360. And commit harakiri.
Copy !req
361. She was a ninja, and she
had failed.
Copy !req
362. We went on, looking for
the Shogun's brother.
Copy !req
363. They are here.
Copy !req
364. They must be near.
Copy !req
365. I sense the rebels,
I feel them somehow.
Copy !req
366. Where can they be?
Watching us.
Copy !req
367. No attack.
Copy !req
368. Be very careful.
Copy !req
369. So...
Copy !req
370. We have our reunion.
Copy !req
371. Now we will show you
"Masters of Death."
Copy !req
372. Come on.
Copy !req
373. How could you throw your sword?
Copy !req
374. Your technique ... is...
Copy !req
375. magnificent!
Copy !req
376. When cut across the neck...
Copy !req
377. a sound like wailing winter wind is heard...
Copy !req
378. I always hope to cut someone
like that someday...
Copy !req
379. to hear that sound...
Copy !req
380. But have it happen to my own neck
is ridiculous!
Copy !req
381. You can't touch me!
I am the Shogun's brother.
Copy !req
382. Out!
Copy !req
383. The Shogun is nothing to me.
Copy !req
384. Die!
Copy !req
385. I guess I wish it was different.
Copy !req
386. But a wish is only a wish!
Copy !req
