00:33The last of it. Who knew one man could bleed so much?
00:37You're better at cleaning than cooking. When does your son get back?
01:00The Four Fangs! What an honor! May I get you something to eat?
01:05A samurai came through here. Young. Arrogant.
01:11He cut four fingers to get a name. Tell me what you know.
01:14Shut up. We're trying to eat.
01:38He was here two days ago. He spilled blood everywhere.
01:42Which is fine. Then he left. And he took my son! An invalid! That's it!
01:49That's it!
01:49That's it!
02:38You move quietly for someone so large.
02:42I'm naturally stealthy.
02:46Maybe not naturally. My father beat me if I ever made noise in the noodle shop.
02:49I'd learn to be quiet. Like a ninja.
02:52I do not want you anywhere near me. Stay away.
02:55Stay away. Ringo.
02:56I don't care.
02:58But I'm useful. You see?
03:00I heard white people's skin burns off in the sun.
03:04Is it true blue eyes you can see in the dark?
03:05Oh, and is it true white people drink milk from the animals?
03:09I know why you think you don't want me around, but you can trust me.
03:12I'd never tell your secret. Not ever. Not if someone bit off my skin bite by bite, or even if
03:17they made me eat eggplant.
03:18I never, ever, ever, ever, ever tell anyone that you're a girl.
03:26If I see you again, I will kill you and never think of you again.
03:51No one gets through without a travel pass.
03:54Next.
03:56Come on, come on.
03:58Let's see your pass.
03:59Next.
04:00Come on.
04:05What is this?
04:06A bribe?
04:07Are you trying to bribe me?
04:09Arrest him and flog him!
04:16Hey, where's your pass?
04:19Right here.
04:20Travel pass for two.
04:22Just as two boys, traveling together like always.
04:25Heading to my buckwheat dealer.
04:27Fresh shipment from Porokanai.
04:28The best!
04:29Come on, you!
04:30My apprentice.
04:31He's a betting.
04:41Next.
04:54Useful.
04:55I told you.
04:59You will not find what you seek at my side.
05:02I am owed my revenge, I am owed my revenge, and I will have it at any cost.
05:05I love revenge.
05:10It is a demon's path, littered with death.
05:14I'm not afraid.
05:15I can train, and I can help you.
05:18I'm already the greatest in the world at one thing.
05:20What's one more?
05:23Noodles is not war.
05:26My whole life has been a battle.
05:36I'm an apprentice!
05:39So where do we go to get your revenge?
05:41I need a boat.
05:42Oh, a revenge boat.
05:54A revenge boat.
06:06It's not so bad.
06:09It's not so bad.
06:22We will be married and...
06:24Your father will never allow it now.
06:26I can convince my father.
06:28And have everyone mock me.
06:30I'd rather cut myself open now.
06:33The cut is so clean.
06:36A masterful cut.
06:38You can't kill yourself over a brawl with some monster.
06:42It wasn't even a duel.
06:43It was an attack.
06:45Did he officially challenge you?
06:47Victory cannot come from dishonor.
06:50Therefore, you never lost.
06:52Had he challenged you, he'd be dead.
07:07I can see it now.
07:09You challenge him.
07:11And like a dog, he comes running.
07:13He faces you.
07:15An onryo.
07:16His demon eyes.
07:18But your courage drives him back like a squall against the sea.
07:23You ensheath your magnificent sword.
07:32Cammy, are you sure?
07:35Shh.
07:43He lunges at you.
07:45But his sword is no match for yours.
07:49He strikes with your blade.
07:55You draw his blood.
07:58His eyes like two angry waves in a storm.
08:02They try to suck you in.
08:05But you're too strong.
08:07You thrust your sword into him again.
08:09And again.
08:11And again.
08:14A final cut.
08:16You feel the hot spray of blood.
08:21Glory!
08:44Come now.
08:46Let's shave your head.
08:48No.
08:49You're right.
08:51That monster didn't fight honorably.
08:53So my honor can still be restored.
08:57I must find him.
08:59Challenge him.
09:00And kill him.
09:01For all to see.
09:03But we're supposed to marry.
09:04You can't leave.
09:06He could be anywhere.
09:07It could take months to find him.
09:09He's looking for Heijishindo.
09:11Arrogant enough to go straight to him.
09:13He'll need a boat.
09:16Mihono Seki.
09:18He must have left a trail.
09:20But what if he kills you this time?
09:34Boom, boom.
09:35There was blood everywhere.
09:36And that's why I vowed never to eat eggplant again.
09:40So, tell me about this boat.
09:42I've never been on a boat.
09:44I wonder if I could cease it.
09:45I get nauseous in the past if I slosh too much.
09:52You don't have to be here.
09:54And miss you killing Heijishindo?
09:57Not him.
09:58The white man he protects.
10:01He's on an island in the west.
10:03By sea, I can be there before dawn.
10:06And kill him by sunrise.
10:09Revenge.
10:31Where is everybody?
10:49Where did your town go?
10:55Where did your town go?
11:25We're not here for fun.
11:27We're here for a boat.
11:30Sure, I can take you there.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:34Not now.
11:35Tomorrow.
11:37Not too early either.
11:39I must leave now.
11:40During the Hadaka Matsuri?
11:42Well, then you'll have to swim.
11:44Everyone's closed today.
11:45We have to purify ourselves and celebrate the kami,
11:48or we'll have a bad year.
11:50You don't want a bad year, do you?
11:58Fine.
11:59Tomorrow then.
12:00That's the spirit.
12:01Have fun!
12:02Stay for the shingi.
12:04A dip in the ice cleanses the soul.
12:06You don't want to miss that.
12:08And when you hear the drums, come running.
12:12We will see you in the morning.
12:16Not too early!
12:20Sorry, stealthy.
12:22You do that a lot.
12:25There has to be something you like to do while you wait.
12:28Gambling.
12:29We could try their noodles.
12:31The shingi.
12:32You said we don't want to miss that.
12:34Your foot.
12:43You were never to take that off.
12:45The day you take that off, you were discharged from your duties.
12:48Do you understand?
12:53I will use the time to train.
12:56You need to train?
12:57I've seen you fight.
12:59Right.
13:00You can never train too much.
13:01It's good we miss all the fun.
13:03No fun for samurai.
13:04Fun is bad.
13:05I'll set camp on the eastern cliffs.
13:09Ringo, you should stay here and have fun.
13:12For as long as you want.
13:14Forever even.
13:15There's no shame in making a home here.
13:18And keeping your life.
13:20An apprentice would never leave his master's side.
13:23Just a little fun.
13:24Then tomorrow...
13:25Ha!
13:26Ha!
13:28Ha!
13:28Ha!
13:29Ha!
13:30Ha!
13:31Ha!
13:32Ha!
13:32Ha!
13:32Ha!
13:59You're cut.
14:02You did leave me a trail.
14:10Ha!
14:11Let him through.
14:11Let him through.
14:13Ha!
14:18Ha!
14:18I don't know.
14:51I don't know.
15:02I don't know.
15:32Not everyone can be relied on.
15:34I'm familiar with that premise.
15:39Every year, I promise you delights beyond imagination.
15:44Every year, I deliver.
15:47My imagination expands.
15:50The spring pilgrimage is the one time of year I'm allowed off this fucking island.
15:55I've been planning all month.
15:57Surprises for you every stop along the way to Edo.
16:03And when we get to Edo?
16:06Our surprise for the Shogun is almost ready.
16:10After that, you'll be free to go anywhere you like.
16:14Anytime you like.
16:23Done.
16:26Hmm.
16:29After all these years, you've mastered the brush.
16:32I hate painting and woodblock and ceramic and calligraphy and every other useless art I mastered to while away the
16:46hours.
16:48I hate that I have time for painting.
16:51If I have time to paint, something is wrong.
16:55The Shogun lets us operate so long as he can deny I exist.
16:59Soon he won't have that luxury.
17:03I'd have liked that in my room.
18:00I hate that in my room.
18:01I hate that in my room.
18:24A sword made by your hand is beyond price.
18:27Hmm.
18:29Yet there is a price.
18:32Take all I have.
18:33Please.
18:34I must have a sword made by your hand hmm I am NOT a swordsman I bind books I
18:42was taught my trade by my father he was killed by a drunk Ronin who cut my
18:49father down for splashing him with his cart this Ronin is a drunk but he is
18:55skilled as I am NOT he will kill me I know this but with a sword from you master
19:00I can take his life as he takes mine and die avenged hmm will you make him a blade
19:19he's hiding something
19:29his tail is moving perhaps we can help him die with honor like the fire you take up
20:08them
20:10in this edge it's ready
20:30your breath is late like so come on then boy
20:51your foot announces your thoughts
21:09you're soft for a boy these breeds are all weak stock
21:17you
21:59Thicker at the spine, thin at the edge.
22:03The homo will show a soft and hard steel blend.
22:08It's time for the yaki-ire.
22:18The yaki-ire is when metal is reborn, and the sword enters the sword.
22:28All must be pure for the sword to be pure.
22:32The metal, the maker, the one to wield it.
22:37Mizu, is your mind clear?
22:42It is.
22:47Mizu, is your soul at rest?
22:51It is.
22:52Mizu, is your soul at rest?
22:52Mizu, is your soul at rest?
22:52It is.
22:56It is.
22:59It is.
23:19The summer sun just touched the horizon.
23:23Oh, my God.
23:43Mizu.
23:46You're at you.
24:13how could this happen forgive my failure an unexpected element entered the blade if I
24:20find what it is the sword can be repaired and re-immersed the fault is mine the element is me
24:31the fault is mine I believed your story this is not the hand of a bookbinder this hand has taken
24:39many
24:39lives an assassin's hand you're a fool I've taken more than many lives they call me blood-soaked Chiaki
24:50and I've made a fortune with this I'll make a thousand fortunes the assassin who carries
24:57Master A.G.'s broken blade a soul like that is drowned in blood there's no stopping them they will
25:10always find their broken blade we can only mind our own soul Misa
25:45so
25:52so
25:53so
25:53so
25:53so
25:54I don't know.
26:35I don't know.
27:12I don't know.
27:50I don't know.
27:53I don't know.
28:24I don't know.
28:26She's as you promised.
28:28Yes, lovely.
28:30Bit old, but many good years left.
28:32Hmm.
28:34Oh, yes.
28:35Very fertile.
28:36Saiko's in precise rhythm with the moon.
28:38And of course, her purity strictly guarded.
28:41How fortuitous for you, Lord Miyabi's daughter turned out to be so ugly.
28:46And how fortuitous for us, yours didn't.
28:49Of course, as the Shogun's counselor, the Tokunobu clan was not my first choice for an alliance by marriage, but
28:59your proximity to several kihans and your profound ambition.
29:04Yes, she will make a suitable new wife to the Shogun's younger son.
29:11May the gods bless the Shogun's wise and noble counselor.
29:14The spring wedding would be auspicious.
29:18The boy's first wife was not an affectionate match.
29:22The boy is eager.
29:27If you permit, I offer engagement gifts for...
29:33Um...
29:35Hmm...
29:36Akemi.
29:36Hm.
29:54And now how good of sent.
29:57To blacken your teeth like a proper bride.
30:00A master prefers black pearls to white.
30:11Father! Father, please! Please! You can't marry me off like this!
30:17Sent away! Away from you! Away from Tygen!
30:21Tygen, there's rust on his blade now. I was foolish to consider him for you.
30:25But I've secured a suitable match. More than suitable. Kissed by the gods.
30:30I can't! Seki, tell him!
30:34It is the best option for you.
30:37I won't do it! I won't!
30:39You do not try to change my mind this time! You are not the hero of this family story!
30:45I raised the Tokunobu name from nothing! From nothing to the shogun's chambers! I did!
30:54Oh, stupid girl. Too stupid to see. I am giving you an opportunity.
31:03The shogun is expecting Master Chiba to return to Eda with a new bride for his son.
31:08We leave in five days. Don't forget your teeth.
31:13No.
31:13Not at all.
31:17No.
31:38Shh, quiet.
31:45Seki! Just in time. I'm seeing the silk man. He just got his new shipment. Freshly dyed.
31:50At night?
31:51If we're to leave for a wedding in five days, there isn't a night to spare.
31:56I adore his silks. I'll ride with you.
32:04Why didn't you stand up for me?
32:06Because your father's mind cannot be changed when it is set any more than yours.
32:12For example, when you seem set on what is clearly a bad decision, like running away, you think I don't
32:20know you, child? I brushed your teeth.
32:23I won't be locked away in Edo married to a stranger. I can fix everything. I just have to find
32:29Taigen.
32:30On your own, on the open road, you'll get your throat cut by brigands before you find anyone.
32:36If your father doesn't find you first. In which case, you're better off with the brigands.
32:43What choice do I have?
32:45You can share a bed with an heir of the Shogun. Any woman would die for the chance.
32:50Let them! That kind of man treats women like animals. They say he's a tyrant.
32:55What?
32:56What man isn't?
32:59You.
33:04Add my trunk with hers.
33:12Now get in and shut the door. If we're running away, let's at least do it more.
33:18I'm not going to call him.
33:19What?
33:20I'm not going to call him.
33:23I'm not going to call him.
33:36And you're not going to call him.
33:48Every day for a thousand years, we have offered prayers at the tree from which the Shingi are made.
33:57Their fibers are filled with the Kami's breath.
34:01Who shall win their power this year?
34:04Power?
34:05Their sacred. The priestess throws them in the water.
34:08Whoever gets them, their fondest wish comes true.
34:12Ooh, magic sticks.
34:15Don't even think about it.
34:16Mine!
34:17I'm getting my wish this year. A new husband!
34:26Noodles!
34:34So, how are your noodles? Anything great?
34:37Second best in town. Used to be the best.
34:40Then last year, Rinji caught the Shingi.
34:41And all of a sudden, his noodles are magic.
34:44Still, second best.
34:45Hmm.
35:00This is... This is...
35:03Incredible!
35:04The balance of the noodle, the balance of flavor, and your spices!
35:09Is that Shiso?
35:10Where did you find Shiso this time of year?
35:12Heh. Thanks.
35:13I hardly get any compliments, since Rinji surpassed me.
35:16His are better than this?
35:24Transcendent! Beyond!
35:25I never imagined such flavor was even possible.
35:31I thought I was the best.
35:33Compared to these, my noodles are like worms.
35:36Slimy worms in a scummy pond.
35:39Come on. I'm not even good at what I thought I was great at.
35:42Maybe this is why Master told me to stay.
35:45If you love my noodles so much, you want a job?
35:48Dishes are piling up.
35:49I'll teach you.
35:51You mean stay here?
35:52You got somewhere better to be?
35:55Ah.
36:16Tomorrow.
36:17Tomorrow.
36:26No, he dies.
36:48No drums. Maybe I'll just go look at the fun.
37:18No drums.
37:19I don't know you, and we have no dispute.
37:21You have enemies now. Rich ones. You can take off those things. We know what they hide. We know who
37:29you are.
37:31All Kyoto is talking about the unnamed samurai who cut through Shindo Dojo.
37:43I have a name.
37:45No one will ever know it.
37:52We know
38:21What's everyone doing?
38:24You're being reborn. What are you waiting for?
38:50Dojos fight the most.
38:51Warriors fight to kill.
39:21Oh my gosh.
39:27Oh my gosh.
39:33Oh!
39:34Oh!
39:35Oh my gosh.
39:36Oh my gosh.
39:39Let's go.
40:07Let's go.
40:38Let these waters quench our perched souls and bring us good fortune.
40:44But only one of you gets your fondest wish.
40:49Make your wish now.
40:55I wish to be great at something.
41:14Let's go.
