Set in Edo during the Bunsei era, this story follows the unlikely duo of Satake, a lowly constable, and Ichi, a blind masseur, as they team up to solve a murder case.
00:22In this film, Sabu, Ichi, and Torimoto Hake are a pair of a young underling who works day and night to maintain peace in the Yaoyacho district of Edo, and a blind demon who is an expert in Iaijutsu, who team up to face off against unforgivable villains.
00:40Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:43Sabu to Ichi and Torimoto Hake were originally written by Shotaro Ishimori and aired for a total of 52 episodes between 1968 and 1969.
00:58The story begins on a stormy night in Edo, when someone knocks on the door of a restaurant and asks for help.
01:07The owner of the restaurant and his daughter thought that the storm was causing trouble, so they kindly opened the door to find the three villains standing there, who forced their way into the restaurant without asking any questions.
01:21Later, while forcing the girls to provide alcohol and food, one man attacks the girl, accidentally exposing her exile tattoo, revealing her identity as an island-breaker.
01:35The enraged trio then killed the father, treated the daughter, and, satisfied, killed her and her younger brother before leaving.
01:48The next morning, police officer Tanabe and his underling Sabu visit the murder scene and are disgusted by the brutality of the killings. Then, news arrives that someone has broken into the island, and the three exiled criminals, Kadame, Mamushi, and Yota, are put on the wanted list as the perpetrators.
02:06Meanwhile, this evil trio, who could be described as murderers, have taken refuge in their old home, the outcast Black Hell Island, where no one approaches, and Sabu and the town officials are unable to interrogate them and are running out of time.
02:24Meanwhile, Echigoya's daughter visits the office and tells him about her father, who was the cause of her being exiled to the island by the evil trio. She also complains that she has received threatening letters from them and asks for help.
02:40That night, Echigoya's daughter is kidnapped by a villainous trio, but when police officer Tanabe hears of the kidnapping, he has his officials secure the entrance to the island to prevent the trio from returning to Hell Island.
02:58So they break into a nearby temple and become trapped, taking Echigoya's daughter hostage as they attempt to escape.
03:10After invading Edo, the evil trio set fire to a temple and engaged in a life-or-death battle, but Mamushi and Yota were easily defeated, and the last remaining one, One-Eye, was crushed to death by wood that collapsed in the fire.
03:24Afterwards, Sabu witnesses the end of the villains, but he is unable to be happy because so many people, including his older brother, have died. However, he renews his resolve to continue protecting the peace of Edo.
03:41Now, let me introduce the main characters.
03:46Sabu is the protagonist of this work and is a low-level subordinate working for boss Saheiji, but because Saheiji is ill, Sabu is actually the one who is active on the front lines.
03:57Along with a sense of duty and justice, he is skilled in reasoning and action, and he also has a unique auxiliary technique, attaching a rope to the end and throwing it at bad guys to capture them.
04:10Before coming to Edo, he was from a farming family that lived in poverty and ran away from his village to Edo, where he was picked up by Saheiji and became his subordinate.
04:211 is Sabu's best friend. He was kicked by a horse as a child and became blind. He now makes a living as an ankle-striker and is also a master of Iaijutsu using a hidden staff.
04:35Originally, he helped Sabu's boss, Saheiji, steal things, and now he is Sabu's partner.
04:45He values friendship and has a warm heart that will not give in to any pleas when Sub is in danger, and will go to his aid.
04:54Saheiji is the head of the gang and also Sabu's boss. He takes Sabu in when he has just arrived in Edo and trains him as his subordinate.
05:03During the play, he is often bedridden due to gout, which causes severe pain, and the reality is that he now leaves most of his duties to his assistants.
05:15He also approves of his daughter Midori's relationship with Sabu, and hopes to have her take over the business someday.
05:24Midori is Saheiji's only daughter, and while she usually works as a security guard, she has feelings for Sabu.
05:31However, while she worries more than necessary about her impulsive sub, she also has strong feelings for him and is sometimes seen to become jealous.
05:44She later married Sabu, who had become a sissy, and had a son.
05:49Tanabe Yasunoshin is a police officer at the Bugyōsho and is Saheiji and Sabu's direct superior.
05:59He is an official who usually performs his duties while listening to his disciples, including Sabu.
06:05He had a deep and calm demeanor and gave precise instructions.
06:11In addition, he acknowledges Sabu's abilities, and towards the end of the game, he gives him a real hand, allowing him to succeed Saheiji and become his uncle.
06:21Santa is a child who lives in the same poor tenement as Sabu, and he admires Sabu and calls himself Ichi's follower.
06:33However, as he is still a young child, he is prone to dangerous behavior, and hopes to become a detective like Sabu in the future and catch bad guys.
06:43As an aside, this work first appeared in Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1966 as a one-shot story under the title Nawa to Ishitorimono Hake, and became an unexpected hit.
07:01After that, it was renamed Sub and Ichitorimonohake and serialized irregularly.
07:06However, because the content was thought to be a little difficult for children, publication in Weekly Shonen Sunday ended.
07:16The series later resumed serialization in Big Comic, a magazine aimed at young men, and has since become popular again.
07:25In response to this situation, when the anime was produced, the content of the program was initially targeted at adults, not children,
07:35When the anime first began, it started at an unusual time of 9pm, but six months later it was changed to start at 7pm.
07:43In addition, experimental productions using live-action footage for the bridge are also being carried out, although the reason is unclear.
07:54The production stations, Osaka MBS and Tokyo NET, broadcast the first and second episodes on the same day at the same time, in an unusual move where the order was reversed.
08:06After the anime ended, a live-action version was also released.
08:12In 1971, Nabe Osami played a supporting role, and Takuya Fujioka played a leading role.
08:19When "Jute Yaro" and "Torimono Hake" were first broadcast,
08:23From 1981 to 1982, Miura Domowa played a supporting role, and Umemiya Tatsuo played a leading role.
08:32While Sabu to Ichi and Torimono Hake were broadcast as a period drama special,
08:38In 2015 and 2016, BS Nippon Television aired a special drama to commemorate its 15th anniversary.
08:46The work is currently being aired, starring Teppei Koike in a supporting role and Kenichi Endo in a leading role.
08:53In addition, in 2013, Big Comic will celebrate its 45th anniversary since its founding.
09:01A remake of a one-shot work by Fujihiko Hosono,
09:05Iwasaku, Hajime, and Torimino were announced as substitutes.
09:11Now, it's finally the final episode.
09:15One day, a soba restaurant that Sabu knew was destroyed by a flag runner.
09:20You will be killed by a sword.
09:23Sub immediately rushed over, and Yajima, who had been watching the scene of the brake being struck,
09:28The soba shop owner suddenly screams that he has been slashed from behind,
09:32The samurai who performed the bravery, Magaki, was a flag bearer.
09:36I couldn't do anything to the sub and just stood there.
09:41Afterwards, his superior, the police officer Tanabe,
09:44I report the beating of an innocent person,
09:47Because Magaki is an old man,
09:50He looks distressed as he explains that he cannot conduct the interrogation carelessly.
09:56That night, Magaki, under the control of Kogai,
09:59He called Nisuke to the mansion,
10:01The brothel has been planned for a long time,
10:03Or they would have them report on the construction progress throughout their lifetime.
10:09In fact, oysters were cultivated by the shogunate,
10:12He is aiming to get promoted,
10:14The bribe money needed to get promoted,
10:18By building a pub,
10:20I was trying to secure it.
10:23but,
10:24According to Nagesuke,
10:25I reported that there was a tenement house that I couldn't move out of,
10:29Magaki is
10:30Even if it meant threatening the residents of the tenement house,
10:32To make it stand up,
10:34I was going to give orders.
10:35and,
10:37A few days later, late at night,
10:39Nisuke helped him stand up,
10:41They broke into the tenement owner's house.
10:43Holding his family hostage,
10:45They force you to agree to the documents.
10:48the next day,
10:49By showing the certificate of the building approved by the owner,
10:53Nisuke is,
10:54They try to start demolishing the tenement house,
10:57In this tenement house,
10:58For unity lived,
11:00With Iai-nuki swordplay,
11:01He chased away Nisuke and the others.
11:03Therefore,
11:05That night,
11:06For the purpose of retribution,
11:08A few people's sacrifices,
11:09I will send you to kill everyone,
11:12All the offerings,
11:13You will be defeated in an instant.
11:17on the other hand,
11:18The sub is
11:18Threatened by Nisuke,
11:20To the landlord of the tenement house who fled in the middle of the night,
11:22By chance, we met,
11:23The reason for the night escape was
11:25Behind the threatening Kasuke,
11:27You will hear that there are people in authority.
11:30In such a situation,
11:31The carpenter of the tenement house,
11:33In a fake job,
11:34To the mansion of the Demon Fence,
11:36After being invited out,
11:37It will be retaliation,
11:38With a bow from the Demon Fence,
11:40He suffered serious injuries,
11:41It was abandoned on the side of the road,
11:43Found by location,
11:45He is carried into the tenement house.
11:47this,
11:48Sabu heard the commotion and
11:50We sneak into the Magaki mansion,
11:52Magaki and Nisuke,
11:54A story about burning down a tenement house,
11:55Because I heard it,
11:56To the police officer Tanabe,
11:58He pleaded with them to capture Magaki and Nisuke, but
12:02The cautious Tanabe
12:03Just suffering,
12:04I couldn't reply.
12:07after that,
12:08Leaving behind the indecisive Tanabe,
12:10The sub is
12:11To the tenement house that was about to be burned,
12:13After rushing there,
12:14To the tenement house,
12:15Trying to set fire
12:17Magaki and Nisuke,
12:18I will try to stop it at the risk of my life.
12:19but,
12:22Outnumbered,
12:23The sub is cornered,
12:25There,
12:26With Ichi rushing to the scene,
12:27As the deadly battle with the villains begins,
12:30Tanabe was unsure of what to do.
12:32Appearing with the way of waiting,
12:34It was going to be an intrusion.
12:37and,
12:37The situation has turned around,
12:40As Magaki was cornered,
12:42Cowardly abandoning his comrades,
12:44I try to escape, but
12:45Finally,
12:46Cut down by one,
12:47You will die.
12:49Sub witnessed this scene,
12:52While he felt a sense of accomplishment for saving the tenement house,
12:55Headquarters,
12:56Or perhaps, by taking advantage of the aging of the elder statesman,
12:59Heavy punishment is expected
13:01Sub-boss,
13:02Saheiji Temple and
13:03lover,
13:04Green, too,
13:05You will have to prepare for severe punishment.
13:09the next day,
13:10Sub,
13:11one,
13:12Tanabe is
13:13At the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office,
13:14By the service,
13:15I was expecting a severe punishment,
13:17The elder statesman,
13:18Fearing the misconduct of family members,
13:19Because there wasn't
13:20Surprisingly,
13:21The existence of the incident itself
13:23It was as if nothing had happened.
13:24The subs are
13:25The sound becomes invisible.
13:28moreover,
13:29Recognized for his efforts in solving the case,
13:32For the sub,
13:33From the magistrate,
13:34To Okappiki,
13:35As soon as the promotion was announced,
13:37I was given the actual hand.
13:39The scene changes,
13:42In the tenement house,
13:43Sabu, who was promoted to Okappiki,
13:45As the residents congratulated him,
13:48Saheiji and Midori,
13:49Rushing to the tenement house,
13:51Midori is,
13:52I had prepared it before,
13:53The costume of the Okappiki,
13:55After putting it on the sub,
13:56again,
13:57When everyone is celebrating,
13:58The program ends.
