00:25I'll see you next time.
00:35Oh
01:00I don't get one date man
01:02Unlucky!
01:03WOI multi!
01:04M lesbian Craig
01:05I got it!
01:06You got it!
01:31Don't be-be-be-be-be afraid
01:42I also crave that success in the modern world!
01:56He-he cut him?
02:04Hmm...
02:05Well, now! Isn't that something?
02:09That body of yours is surprisingly firm.
02:12It didn't feel like it was made of flesh and blood.
02:15No, it felt more like hitting armor. A full suit of it, too.
02:20My blade didn't penetrate.
02:22And there's many a man who've fallen to that slash.
02:26This is the first time I've not been able to sever the collarbone.
02:30Hmph.
02:33That was disappointing.
02:37You didn't even bother drawing your sword, but you're surprised you can't cut through my flesh?
02:44Is it swordplay or wordplay?
02:58Mitsunari. Can you bring him a sword? I can tell he wants one.
03:07Hmph.
03:08A kind gesture from a strong man.
03:17Feels nice to be properly armed again.
03:21Very nice indeed.
03:35Oh, you're brash.
03:39More!
03:40More!
03:43Miyamoto.
03:45Don't get cocky.
03:54Oh!
04:20Look at that.
04:22I was close to wandering with the dead, but with no memory of being strong.
04:26Fuck.
04:27The martial artists of the modern world have taught me an important lesson.
04:31They possess a state of mind only reached with the absence of swords.
04:36Fists can reach the lethal level of a blade.
04:42However...
04:43Hmph.
04:44The sword of Musashi is not just any blade.
04:49Let's see how strong you are.
04:51Hold on tight!
04:53Hmph.
04:55Hmph.
04:59The ogre grabbed the sword.
05:02Don't let go!
05:04But he got hold of the blade.
05:05The one gripping the hilt...
05:07Was Musashi Miyamoto.
05:10Hmph!
05:14Hmph!
05:16Hmph!
05:18Hmph!
05:24Hmph!
05:24Not already!
05:28You have a particular talent for not holding back.
05:32He's using Niten Ichiryo this early!
05:35I like that.
05:37Standing face to face with a man like this demands you hold nothing back.
05:47I just can't contain myself!
05:53It's so exciting!
05:58To meet every attack head on.
06:01And crush it in its tracks.
06:04That approach became synonymous with the strongest creature alive.
06:09It was his legacy.
06:11When was the last time he had dodged anything?
06:17Look at their auras!
06:19Is there an apt analogy for this deadly energy?
06:22Two fearsome kings of beasts and a standoff?
06:26Perhaps a tiger and a dragon?
06:29No, that still doesn't do it justice.
06:32Those don't even come close!
06:34I could try all day, but the truth is, when it comes to strength,
06:38these two great men standing before me are utterly unmatched in this world!
06:44I'm sure of it!
06:47Lions...
06:47Dragons...
06:48Tigers!
06:49None of them could defeat either of these powerful fighters!
06:54Musashi went limp, letting the strength drain from his body,
06:57and with that acceleration, he pushed off from his heel
07:01and directed his momentum towards his opponent, closing the distance in a blink.
07:07Using the full length of his blade,
07:10he directed his slash at a vital vulnerability.
07:14But, Yujiro could see it coming,
07:17and he understood all of this in less than 0.000 seconds.
07:24Look at those well-trained rifts of yours!
07:45Even if he lost consciousness, Musashi would never let go of his swords.
07:51But it was pain that tore them from him now,
07:54unlike anything he had ever experienced.
07:57Not even the throes of war could compare.
08:02It's over.
08:08In the midst of his agony,
08:11an unprompted thought sprouted in Musashi's mind.
08:15Or maybe not.
08:17It's almost ready.
08:19The secret technique that I was developing in Higo.
08:24It's not over yet!
08:26Impressive strength.
08:29May I ask for your name?
08:31I can't think of anyone better to try it on.
08:36Standard script evolved into semi-cursive script.
08:39That in turn became cursive script.
08:42So then, what is that equivalency in swordsmanship?
08:47And...
08:48What is its evolution?
09:00Oh...
09:00He's 58 years old.
09:02But even in his old age, he still has such an intimidating presence.
09:07It's almost as if...
09:08He were wielding his long and short swords.
09:12It's not like I can cut you down.
09:15So why are you hesitating?
09:17Huh?
09:19Now!
09:21Wh-when did he...
09:26First here.
09:28And here.
09:28Stab here.
09:29Slash.
09:30Slash.
09:31Slash.
09:32Slash.
09:33Hmm.
09:40Now you're in pieces.
09:43I am?
09:45Continue your practice.
09:47What?
09:50I'm getting close.
09:54Getting close?
09:55What's going on?
09:57Master seems to be taking up his swords less and less as time goes on.
10:01It's almost spring again.
10:03And yet I don't think he's picked them up even once all year.
10:09What lies beyond cursive script and what lies beyond that?
10:14It began with me writing on paper every day.
10:17Entire days spent writing.
10:20Until eventually, I began writing not on paper but in my head.
10:24Entire days spent writing in my head.
10:27So much so that when I looked at a wall, I envisioned the writing on it.
10:33When I gazed at a waterfall, I conjured the words to write on it.
10:42Even the great arc of the sky became a surface for my brush to trace.
10:46And upon reaching this state, I no longer needed a brush.
10:54It's just the same.
10:58For swords as well.
11:02They will become unnecessary.
11:08My last name's Hanma.
11:10And my first name's Yujiro.
11:13Otherwise known as the strongest creature on earth.
11:16So they say.
11:20You are strong, Yujiro Hanma.
11:24Look at this.
11:28In order to deliver that kick to the groin, I had to let you wound me.
11:31You're strong too.
11:33You live up to your reputation.
11:35Nah.
11:36You might be stronger.
11:38My reputation?
11:39So people have been talking about me for 400 years.
11:43That's a thought that I can enjoy.
11:46I understand.
11:48This is the most powerful man in the world.
11:50Isn't that right, Tokugawa?
11:53Yes, Musashi.
11:55That's exactly who he is.
11:56The man who you see standing before you now
11:59represents the highest peak of strength in all the world.
12:11Huh?
12:13I'm returning these to you.
12:21I'm lucky.
12:23An opportunity for progress has landed right in my lap.
12:27I'm still in some pain, but I can fight.
12:33Let's go.
12:36As soon as he gave up his sword, his aura only increased.
12:40Oh, I see.
12:41He didn't give him up at all.
12:46I don't need a large sword or a small one.
12:49That is the way of my Niten Ichiryu.
12:58He's just as deadly without them.
13:00This is auspicious indeed.
13:02He will bring it to fruition.
13:05The completion of Niten Ichiryu is here.
13:08I understand what's going on.
13:11You're close to not needing physical swords.
13:13That's why you use two.
13:15Hm.
13:20Ah!
13:23MULTOBEI!
13:24Who is this?
13:28You bastard!
13:31What do you think you're doing?
13:36How dare you try to protect someone like me?!
13:41Wait!
13:42All right. That's enough, Yujiro.
13:45Now you're trying to get in my way?
13:47Wait! Stop! Stop!
13:49Please calm yourself, Yujiro.
13:52Don't you see MULTOBE jumped in to stop this?
13:54And look at what happened to him.
13:58I'm the last person who wants to admit this, but...
14:01This match has been rendered invalid.
14:23You're awake.
14:27You're awake.
14:27You did something awfully extreme.
14:29Where are they now?
14:31I'm not really sure, but they left their estate together.
14:35Is that so?
14:38Yes, I'll admit that it was extreme.
14:40But Tokugawa, if I hadn't stepped in and stopped them when I did,
14:45the ogre likely would have been cut down.
14:49Unfortunately, everyone's understanding of martial arts is far too shallow.
14:54Ha!
14:55So?
14:57So I, Izumotobe, have come to help you.
15:02I don't really know how you could help.
15:05Watch out!
15:08In the next match, it will be I who cuts down Musashi.
15:14Their outfits alone were not enough to attract attention.
15:18No, it was their individuality, their presence, their auras.
15:23It was impossible not to notice them.
15:26And so they both stood out from the crowd, particularly since they were together.
15:32Yujiro Hanma, are you a famous person?
15:36Everyone seems interested in you.
15:38The people in front of us can't hide their stares, and those behind us have turned around to look.
15:44Huh. I think you're a part of it.
15:48It was simply too astonishing.
15:52All right, I understand.
15:54You are a practitioner of ancient martial arts, so you want to be the next to fight Musashi.
16:00But even more, you think you can cut down the Master Swordman.
16:03It's important.
16:04Is that out of the question?
16:06A match between Musashi, Miyamoto, and myself.
16:10I think it's a good idea.
16:12I imagine it would be an interesting battle.
16:15Hmm.
16:19It makes no difference to me.
16:21Don't lie to me.
16:23Huh?
16:24Mortarbe quit running your mouth.
16:26Know your place, Iso.
16:29I know that's what you want to say.
16:31I don't know about that.
16:32I am...
16:34If anyone has a problem, then they can come and face me directly.
16:38If someone comes to you and says that I'm not strong enough, then we'll test their theory in battle.
16:44One stipulation.
16:47Everything is permissible except the use of weapons?
16:50I have no need for such a paltry rule.
16:53Everything is allowed.
16:55Acquired knowledge.
16:57Skills.
16:58Tools.
16:59And of course, weaponry.
17:01From projectiles to smoke bombs.
17:04I want them to be prepared for that kind of fight.
17:07It was at that moment.
17:09Mitsunari would later acknowledge that was when he decided.
17:12Motivei is a fit challenger.
17:24A strong one.
17:27It is whiskey.
17:30No.
17:31I mean that man.
17:35Iso's practical.
17:37Yes.
17:38That he is.
17:39But I am enjoying the drink as well.
17:44Legends say you couldn't drink.
17:47Couldn't drink?
17:48I'd say you have good taste in booze.
17:51Motivei seems willing to use any means available.
17:56And to be fair, compared to some of the others I've fought here.
18:01He has quite the arsenal.
18:08A varied one at that.
18:10And there was proof of that today.
18:13He kept them hidden, but...
18:15You saw them.
18:17Yes. Concealed weapons.
18:19He had them all over his person.
18:25It worked out for him.
18:27Worked out how?
18:28This was an unexpected twist.
18:31He spent years mastering dead techniques.
18:34And ancient weapons.
18:36It all seemed like a waste.
18:39Even now, weapons like swords and spears.
18:41They're viewed as valuable cultural assets.
18:44Smoke bombs.
18:45Grappling hooks.
18:47Weighted chains.
18:48His tools and techniques.
18:50Ninjutsu.
18:51When the hell was he going to use that?
18:54Even in my era, there were few opportunities.
18:58A martial art that I thought was useless.
19:01But now, an opponent disappeared on whom he can use every one of those talents.
19:07Skills that should have been buried in obscurity.
19:09Come to light again.
19:11It's all thanks to you.
19:15Huh.
19:17You're a kinder man than I expected.
19:24Well now.
19:25It's been a while, hasn't it, Sensei?
19:28Your words were full of resolve.
19:31So you were listening?
19:33Yes, sir.
19:34I was hiding in the attic.
19:36I had a feeling that it was you.
19:38Good work, Gaia.
19:44I've been to this dojo many times before.
19:46But every time I come back, my heart beats in my chest like a child at play.
19:53I take it you like weapons.
19:55They're so cool.
19:56All of them.
19:58You think they're cool?
20:00Weapons are amazing.
20:02Their shape and form perfectly match their intended purpose.
20:05A tool that is the essence of necessity.
20:09The idea of requirement made physical.
20:12A weapon's form is its function.
20:15That's what makes them cool.
20:17You're right, Gaia.
20:18And I'm still excited by this dojo.
20:22You're amazing, Sensei.
20:24A dojo you come to every day still excites you.
20:27That's what makes you Motube.
20:30It's what makes you a genius.
20:33This is just my toy box, this dojo.
20:36And also, it's a safe space.
20:39What do you mean a safe space?
20:41We have rules.
20:43And discipline.
20:44And common sense.
20:46I assure you it's a much safer place than out there.
20:50But while we're here, Gaia,
20:52It's been far too long.
20:54How about a sparring session?
21:00Sensei...
21:01Turns out the dojo's not a safe space after all.
21:04ガタンをしてみてください。
21:09ここの山の上に、まつながんねんぼう夢にみた。
21:16あの日かわした指切り、足は止めない。
21:21頂上が近づき、この目がうつしたその先。
21:28浅くみゃくつくびすじ、ここには何もない。
21:29Yeah, 100分は1件にしかず, 100件は1色にしかず欲しかったは手も伸ばす,
21:37手に入れたら全部わかるはい、つくばって掴んだ昨日が
21:43あくびが出る今日を作った気づけば横には誰もいない
21:48この如くあなたの面影Yeah,きっとあの時と一緒 戦う理由が欲しかったんだ
21:53楽しめ 本能は正しい 努力がくだらぬほどに怒りや憎しみ寄り裂き
22:14この心が叫ぶもっと強くその度どの犠牲も痛くないほどに 守らればならぬものに手を伸ばして
22:17Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm on the mountain top, yeahYeah,
22:27yeah I'm on the mountain top, yeah
