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 petting.
04:40Next.
04:54Useful. I told you.
04:59You will not find what you seek at my side. I am owed my revenge and I will have it.
05:04At any cost.
05:05I love revenge.
05:10It is a demon's path.
05:13Littered with death.
05:14I'm not afraid. I can train and I can help you. I'm already the greatest in the world at one
05:19thing. What'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?
05:40I need a boat.
05:43Oh, a revenge boat.
06:06It's not so bad. You can shave the front. It's how all the noblemen wear their hair. Very fashionable.
06:41Why didn't he just kill me?
06:43It's not a duel. It was an attack. Did he officially challenge you? Victory cannot come from dishonor. Therefore, you
06:51never lost. Had he challenged you, he'd be dead.
07:07I can see it now. You challenge him. And like a dog, he comes running. He faces you. An onryo.
07:16His demon eyes. But your courage drives him back like a squall against the sea. You unsheath your magnificence.
07:35He turns to the street and you're not alone. He uses the death of his sword.
07:51Huh?
07:53What?
07:54Eh, Cami. Are you sure?
07:55You draw his blood. His eyes like two angry waves in a storm. They try to suck you in, but
08:05you're too strong. You thrust your sword into him again, and again, and again.
08:14A final cut. You feel the hot spray of blood. Glory!
08:45Come now. Let's shave your head.
08:49No. You're right. That monster didn't fight honorably. So my honor can still be restored.
08:57I must find him, challenge him, and kill him for all to see.
09:03But we're supposed to marry. You can't leave. He could be anywhere. It could take months to find him.
09:09He's looking for Heiji Shindo. Arrogant enough to go straight to him. He'll need a boat.
09:16Mihono Seki. He must have left a trail.
09:20But what if he kills you this time?
09:34Boom, boom. There was blood everywhere. And that's why I vowed never to eat eggplant again.
09:40So, tell me about this boat. I've never been on a boat. I 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 Heiji Shindo?
09:57Not him. The white man he protects. He's on an island in the west.
10:03By sea, I can be there before dawn and kill him by sunrise.
10:09Revenge.
10:31Where is everybody?
10:49Where did your town go?
10:55Where did your town go?
11:26We're here for fun. We're here for a boat.
11:30Sure, I can take you there.
11:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not now. Tomorrow.
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. Tomorrow then.
12:00That's the spirit. Have 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'd 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.
12:35What?
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.
13:06I'll set camp on the eastern cliffs.
13:09Ringo.
13:10You 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...
13:31One day...
13:34One day...
13:59You're cut.
14:02You did leave me a trail.
14:10Let him through.
14:11Let him through.
14:38Let him through.
14:54Let him through.
15:17The messengers were supposed to light a fire when the samurai is dead.
15:22You pay money for a job you don't want to think about, so you don't have to think about it.
15:28It's the whole point of money.
15:32Not everyone can be relied on.
15:34I'm familiar with that premise.
15:38Every 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.
15:54I'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.
16:28After all these years, you've mastered the brush.
16:32I hate painting.
16:36And woodblock.
16:38And ceramic.
16:40And calligraphy.
16:41And every other useless art I mastered to while away the hours.
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.
17:02Hmm.
17:03I'd have liked that in my room.
17:28Mr.
17:30Bye.
17:30Bye.
17:31Bye.
17:33Bye.
17:35Bye.
17:53Hmm.
18:24A sword made by your hand is beyond price.
18:27Hmm. Yet there is a price.
18:32Take all I have. Please. I must have a sword made by your hand.
18:38Hmm.
18:39I am not a swordsman. I bind books. I was taught my trade by...
18:45My father. He was killed by a drunk ronin,
18:48who cut my father down for splashing him with his cart.
18:52This ronin is a drunk, but he is skilled as I am not.
18:57He will kill me. I know this. But with a sword from you, master,
19:01I can take his life as he takes mine and die avenged.
19:06Hmm.
19:14Will you make him a blade?
19:19He is hiding something.
19:28Hmm.
19:30His tail is moving.
19:32Perhaps we can help him die with honor.
19:36Light the fire.
19:37Well...
19:38You take up the hammer.
19:42You take up the hammer.
19:43There...
19:46He must be.
19:47...
19:51...
20:00...
20:08You're...
20:09Fire is in this edge, Missouri.
20:13It's ready.
20:30Your breath is late.
20:33Like so.
20:41Come on, then, boy.
20:51Your foot announces your thoughts.
21:09You're soft for a boy.
21:11These breeds are all weak stock.
21:13Fuck.
21:14Fuck.
21:14Fuck.
21:25Fuck.
21:26Fuck.
21:39Fuck.
21:59Thicker at the spine, thin at the edge.
22:03The hummel 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?
22:41It is.
22:47Mizu, is your soul at rest?
22:51It is.
23:06Mizu, is your soul at rest?
23:11Mizu, is your soul at rest?
23:18I'm sorry.
23:19The summer sun just touched the horizon.
23:43Mizu, you're at you.
24:13How could this happen?
24:15Forgive my failure.
24:17An unexpected element entered the blade.
24:20If I find what it is, the sword can be repaired and re-immersed.
24:24The fault is mine. The element is me.
24:31The fault is mine.
24:32I believed your story.
24:34This is not the hand of a bookbinder.
24:38This hand has taken many lives.
24:40An assassin's hand.
24:44You're a fool.
24:46I've taken more than many lives.
24:48They call me blood-soaked Chiaki.
24:51And I've made a fortune.
24:53With this, I'll make a thousand fortunes.
24:56The assassin who carries Master A.G.'s broken blade.
25:04A soul like that is drowned in blood.
25:07There's no stopping them.
25:09They will always find their broken blade.
25:13We can only mind our own soul, Mizu.
25:17Oh my gosh.
25:18Oh my gosh, thanks.
25:44Huge.
25:44Boom-inch.
25:45I don't know.
26:22I don't know.
26:53I don't know.
27:28I don't know.
27:35You're a mess.
27:38Your father's calling for you.
27:40He insists on your finest.
27:43Get dressed.
28:08I don't know.
28:11I don't know.
28:41I don't know.
28:54I don't know.
29:23I don't know.
29:26I don't know.
29:26I don't know.
29:38I don't know.
29:40I don't know.
29:42I don't know.
29:54I don't know.
29:56I don't know.
30:11I don't know.
30:36I don't know.
30:40I don't know.
30:45I don't know.
30:46I don't know.
30:50I don't know.
30:56I don't know.
30:59I don't know.
31:05I don't know.
31:28I don't know.
31:54I don't know.
31:57I don't know.
32:07I don't know.
32:21I don't know.
32:22I don't know.
32:27I don't know.
32:29What does that mean, Tigen?
32:30On your own.
32:31On the open road.
32:33You'll get your throat cut by brigands before you find
32:36anyone.
32:36If your father doesn't find you first.
32:39In which case, you are better off with the brigands.
32:43What choice do I have?
32:45You can share a bed with an heir of the Shogun.
32:47Any woman would die for the chance.
32:50Let them.
32:51That kind of man treats women like animals.
32:54They say he's a tyrant.
32:56Hmm.
32:57What man isn't?
32:59You.
33:05Add my trunk with hers.
33:12Now get in and shut the door.
33:15If we're running away, let's at least do it more.
33:29Let's go.
33:48Every day for a thousand years,
33:52we have offered prayers at the tree from which the Shingi are made.
33:56Their fibers are filled with the Kami's breath.
34:01Who shall win their power this year?
34:04Power?
34:05They're sacred.
34:06The 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.
34:17Mine!
34:17I'm getting my wish this year.
34:19A new husband!
34:26Noodles!
34:34So, how are your noodles? Anything great?
34:37Second best in town.
34:38Used 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.
34:46Hmm.
35:00This is... this is... incredible!
35:04The balance of the noodle, the balance of flavor, and your spices!
35:07Is that Shiso?
35:10Where did you find Shiso this time of year?
35:12Heh.
35:13Thanks.
35:14I hardly get any compliments since Rinji surpassed me.
35:16His are better than this?
35:20Mm.
35:22Ah.
35:24Transcendent!
35:25Beyond!
35:26I 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.
35:39I'm not even good at what I thought I was great at!
35:42Maybe this is why Master told me to stay.
35:44Hmm.
35:45If you love my noodles so much...
35:47Want a job?
35:48Dishes are piling up.
35:49I'll teach ya.
35:51You mean stay here?
35:52You got somewhere better to be?
35:56Ah...
36:14You're not gonna be smart.
36:23You're not gonna be smart.
36:25Tomorrow... he dies.
36:49The drums.
36:50Maybe I'll just go look at the fun.
37:18I don't know you, and we have no dispute.
37:21You have enemies now, rich ones.
37:25You can take off those things.
37:27We know what they hide.
37:28We know who you are.
37:31Oh, Kyoto is talking about the unnamed samurai who cut through Shindo Dojo.
37:43I have a name.
37:46No one will ever know it.
38:21What are they doing?
38:24Me and Reboboam, what are you waiting for?
38:50Dojos fight to boast.
38:52Warriors fight to kill.
38:54No.
39:25Let's go.
39:26Let's go.
39:33Oh, my God.
39:59Oh, my God.
40:32Oh, my God.
41:16Oh, my God.
41:19Oh, my God.
41:51Oh, my God.
41:56Oh, my God.
42:03Oh, my God.
42:11Oh, my God.
42:42Oh, my God.
43:06Oh, my God.
43:31Oh, my God.
43:34Oh, my God.
44:08Oh, my God.
44:16Oh, my God.
44:22Oh, my God.
44:47Oh, my God.
44:59I am owed my honor.
45:02Then take it.
45:11Oh, my God.
45:16Oh, my God.
