[00:16] Gantetsusai
    Known as the Blade Dragon
    and Unparalleled in Eight Provinces,
[00:20] Gantetsusai
    when I stopped finding men stronger than me,
[00:26] Gantetsusai
    a lord named Something-or-Other Tatsumi
    asked me to become his officer.
[00:31] Gantetsusai
    He was a great man who took
    pride in his great mansion.
[00:34] Gantetsusai
    His name's characters made him a "dragon" too,
    so I agreed, in exchange for room and board.
[00:40] (Flashback) Tatsumi
    You sure can put them back.
[00:43] (Flashback) Tatsumi
    Splendid.
[00:47] (Flashback) Tatsumi
    Anyway, Tamiya Gantetsusai-dono,
    you may be the Blade Dragon,
[00:53] (Flashback) Tatsumi
    but surely you can't kill a real dragon.
[00:57] (Flashback) Gantetsusai
    What?
[00:59] Gantetsusai
    So I cut down both the dragon on his gate
    and that cowardly dragon's nerve.
[01:08] Fuchi
    Your temper is too violent.
    I don't understand you.
[01:12] Gantetsusai
    I agree.
[01:14] Gantetsusai
    Because of that, his whole clan came
    after me, and I was sentenced to death.
[01:17] Gantetsusai
    Not that I regret it.
[01:20] Gantetsusai
    Once I acquire the pardon,
    I'll be cleared of all charges.
[01:23] Gantetsusai
    Then I can openly hone my skill again.
[01:26] Gantetsusai
    This time, I'll split his
    whole mansion in half.
[01:29] Fuchi
    I don't understand you.
[01:32] Gantetsusai
    If you ask me, you people
    make even less sense.
[01:35] Gantetsusai
    Those tools you're wearing are
    for dissections, aren't they?
[01:39] Gantetsusai
    What a gloomy little man.
[01:41] Gantetsusai
    Does the food you earn beheading
    criminals taste good, Whatever-emon?
[01:46] Fuchi
    It's Asaemon. Yamada Asaemon Fuchi.
SIGN    Tameshi-itto-ryu Rank 9
    Yamada Asaemon
     Fuchi
[01:51] Fuchi
    Beheadings aren't
    the Yamada clan's only trade.
[01:53] Fuchi
    We also test swords and produce medicines.
[01:56] Fuchi
    We're far more useful to society than you.
[02:00] Fuchi
    The same goes for the dissections.
[02:02] Fuchi
    Discoveries about the human
    body help advance medicine.
[02:05] Fuchi
    It's a noble purpose.
[02:13] Fuchi
    I won't allow you to insult us.
[02:19] Gantetsusai
    Whatever.
[02:21] Gantetsusai
    Try not to get in my way.
[02:22] Fuchi
    H-Hey, wait.
[02:26] Fuchi
    Do you know what you're doing?
[02:29] Gantetsusai
    There's only one thing to do.
[02:30] Gantetsusai
    I'm going to eliminate the competition.
[02:34] Gantetsusai
    It's more efficient to take my time
    searching for the Elixir after that,
[02:38] Gantetsusai
    and most importantly, I can use
    my sword to my heart's content.
[02:41] Gantetsusai
    I thought I'd never get the chance to
[02:43] Gantetsusai
    engage in thrilling duels
    in this peaceful world again.
[02:48] Fuchi
    It makes sense.
[02:51] Fuchi
    This job is like crafting insect poison.
[02:54] Fuchi
    The longer you wait, the stronger
    the surviving venomous insects.
[02:58] Fuchi
    But will this really end well?
[03:01] Fuchi
    Not all of the venomous insects are here.
[03:04] Fuchi
    If the shogunate runs out of patience,
    they'll send the next batch of insects.
[03:08] Fuchi
    Stronger, more venomous insects.
[03:33] Gantetsusai
    Interesting...
[03:47] Gabimaru
    Stay back.
SIGN    Hell and Paradise
[05:22] Gabimaru
    What is this thing, a fish?
[05:25] Gabimaru
    It's wearing prayer beads.
[05:26] Gabimaru
    Is it a monster or a living creature?
[05:29] Gabimaru
    Its appearance is ridiculously fantastical.
[05:32] Gabimaru
    I have so many questions,
[05:34] Gabimaru
    but my instincts are telling me
    that this island itself is dangerous.
[05:40] Gabimaru
    What a pain in the butt.
[05:52] Sagiri
    Gabima—
[05:57] Gabimaru
    I told you to stay back.
[05:58] Sagiri
    Right.
[06:00] Gabimaru
    It seems to be alive.
[06:03] Chief
    Shinobi Rule Number Five.
[06:07] Chief
    Do not fight an unknown enemy.
[06:13] Gabimaru
    Should we run?
[06:16] Gabimaru
    The two of us, or just me?
[06:31] Sagiri
    Gabimaru! Are you all right?
[06:34] Gabimaru
    This place is dangerous.
[06:37] Sagiri
    So it's possible for you to be injured...
[06:39] Sagiri
    No, wait. I mean—
[06:41] Gabimaru
    Let's run for now.
[06:52] Sagiri
    What are they?
[06:54] Sagiri
    They're smiling?
[06:56] Sagiri
    Are they real?
[06:59] Sagiri
    Calm down. Don't lose your head.
[07:04] Sagiri
    We've been surrounded.
[07:10] Gabimaru
    Enough. Stop thinking.
[07:15] Sagiri
    Gabimaru!
[07:20] Gabimaru
    Ninpo: Ascetic Blaze.
[07:30] Gabimaru
    For now, don't think.
[07:37] Gabimaru
    Just kill.
[07:40] Gabimaru
    So you can survive.
[07:42] Gabimaru
    So you can acquire the pardon
    and escape this bloody world.
[07:47] Gabimaru
    Just kill.
[07:50] Sagiri
    I knew this was a dangerous job,
    but it's different now.
[07:54] Sagiri
    Everything has changed since mere hours ago.
[08:09] Sagiri
    What an otherworldly sight.
[08:12] Sagiri
    Am I in Paradise, or...?
[08:30] Gabimaru
    Don't worry about anything else.
[08:32] Sagiri
    That's not weakness.
[08:35] Gabimaru
    Just focus on the enemies in front of you.
[08:37] Yui
    True courage is being true to your emotions.
[08:40] Gabimaru
    Eliminate them.
[08:53] Sagiri
    Um, Gabimaru...
[08:57] Sagiri
    I'm so—
[09:02] Yuzuriha
    Wow, you killed all of these by yourself?
[09:06] Yuzuriha
    Impressive, Hollow!
[09:07] Yuzuriha
    Wow, that was something else.
[09:10] Yuzuriha
    Wow.
[09:12] Yuzuriha
    I'm Yuzuriha.
[09:13] Yuzuriha
    Like you, I'm a ninja.
[09:16] Yuzuriha
    We're, like, totally the same.
[09:18] Sagiri
    Two executioners?
[09:20] Gabimaru
    What do you think you're...
[09:22] (Flashback) Yui
    You're supposed to say "thank you"
    when someone helps you.
[09:29] Gabimaru
    Thank you for saving me.
[09:33] Gabimaru
    So, what do you want? We're rivals.
[09:38] Gabimaru
    You didn't have to help me.
[09:41] Yuzuriha
    Don't be so on edge.
[09:44] Yuzuriha
    The monsters are gone now.
[09:46] Yuzuriha
    You seem super dependable, Gabi-kun.
[09:48] Yuzuriha
    You're still standing, despite
    how much you're bleeding.
[09:51] Yuzuriha
    Didn't you save her just now, too?
[09:58] Yuzuriha
    Hey, why don't we work together?
[10:01] Yuzuriha
    I'm so scared of this dangerous place.
[10:06] Yuzuriha
    I'll do whatever you say. Please protect—
[10:10] Yuzuriha
    Huh? What?
[10:12] Yuzuriha
    Ow... Ow...
[10:14] Yuzuriha
    Ow, that hurts! What are you doing?
[10:18] Gabimaru
    You can't seduce me.
[10:19] Gabimaru
    I'm familiar with kunoichi methods.
[10:23] Yuzuriha
    Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you are.
[10:26] Yuzuriha
    I just wanted to try it.
[10:27] Yuzuriha
    It's better to regret what you've done
    than regret what you haven't, right?
[10:31] Yuzuriha
    But I'm serious about working together.
[10:34] Yuzuriha
    Five is safer than three.
[10:37] Sagiri
    Wait a minute.
[10:38] Sagiri
    Why do you have two Asaemon with you?
[10:41] Yuzuriha
    This guy is, uh...
[10:44] Genji
    Yamada Asaemon Genji.
SIGN    Tameshi-itto-ryu Rank 8
    Yamada Asaemon
     Genji
[10:46] Genji
    I was originally assigned
    to Moro Makiya the Apostate.
[10:51] Genji
    Makiya died when he was
    fooled by this woman.
[10:54] Genji
    Her foul tricks run contrary to bushido.
[10:56] Genji
    I deemed a single executioner
    insufficient to control her,
[11:01] Genji
    so I decided to accompany them.
[11:03] Gabimaru
    Huh.
[11:05] Gabimaru
    So she seduced him.
[11:06] Sagiri
    I see.
[11:08] Sagiri
    Women have always been
    Genji-dono's weakness.
[11:10] Sagiri
    He fell for her tricks.
[11:13] Senta
    Uh, um...
[11:15] Senta
    I'm Yamada Asaemon Senta,
    the executioner assigned to her.
SIGN    Tameshi-itto-ryu Rank 5
    Yamada Asaemon
    Senta
[11:18] Yuzuriha
    Well, you know.
[11:20] Yuzuriha
    We ran into crazy bugs, monsters,
    statues on our way here.
[11:26] Yuzuriha
    We know just how dangerous this place is.
[11:28] Yuzuriha
    Finding the Elixir as quickly
    as possible is important,
[11:32] Yuzuriha
    but there's no point in blindly
    charging in and dying without a plan.
[11:35] Gabimaru
    You're the one who called me disappointing.
[11:38] Yuzuriha
    Did I? I don't remember that.
[11:41] Sagiri
    As long as you both agree to it,
[11:44] Sagiri
    then there's no problem
    with you working together.
[11:46] Yuzuriha
    All right! I love you, Gabimaru.
[11:48] Yuzuriha
    Ow, ow, ow! What are you doing?
[11:51] Gabimaru
    I never said I'd work with you.
[11:52] Gabimaru
    I can't trust a kunoichi.
[11:55] Yuzuriha
    Trust? Come on.
[11:57] Yuzuriha
    We're not kids.
[12:03] Yuzuriha
    We can betray each other at any time.
[12:06] Yuzuriha
    Even if we find the Elixir,
    only one of us will be pardoned.
[12:10] Yuzuriha
    I'm suggesting we use each other
    for as long as possible.
[12:13] Yuzuriha
    Or are you scared of me?
[12:17] Yuzuriha
    You're surprisingly naïve.
[12:21] Yuzuriha
    Please, Gabi.
[12:22] Yuzuriha
    Won't you help a weak little girl?
[12:25] Gabimaru
    You're wasting your time with that.
[12:27] Yuzuriha
    Oh?
[12:29] Gabimaru
    How would working with you benefit me?
[12:32] Yuzuriha
    You'll offer your strength
    in exchange for my information.
[12:36] Yuzuriha
    For example,
[12:37] Yuzuriha
    you seem to think the monsters are a threat,
[12:40] Yuzuriha
    but the real danger here is the bugs.
[12:43] Yuzuriha
    Human-faced butterflies.
[12:45] Yuzuriha
    They fly around monsters,
    but their nests and behavior are unknown.
[12:49] Yuzuriha
    Their scales seem to contain
    hallucinogens and poison.
[12:53] Gabimaru
    How do you know that?
[12:58] Yuzuriha
    Moro Makiya.
[12:59] Yuzuriha
    I got close to him and talked him into it.
[13:02] Yuzuriha
    I tested them on him.
[13:04] Yuzuriha
    The centipedes are gross,
    but you can safely ignore them.
[13:07] Yuzuriha
    They only eat dead flesh.
[13:08] Gabimaru
    How do you know that?
[13:10] Yuzuriha
    I tested it on Makiya.
[13:12] Yuzuriha
    There are other bugs too,
    but they didn't attack unless approached.
[13:16] Yuzuriha
    I tested it on Makiya.
[13:18] Gabimaru
    What happened to him?
[13:20] Yuzuriha
    I got him to let his guard down
    by playing dead and killed him.
[13:23] Senta
    Many of the items worn by the
    monsters feature Buddhist or Taoist designs.
[13:31] Senta
    Buddhism and Taoism are
    different religious traditions...
[13:34] Senta
    It's strange to see them mixed together.
[13:37] Senta
    The Buddhist statues are strange, too.
[13:39] Senta
    I have trouble believing
    this island is truly Paradise.
[13:43] Sagiri
    I agree.
[13:46] Sagiri
    We can explain it away
    by calling them fantastical,
[13:48] Sagiri
    but to my blade, their anatomy and musculature
[13:51] Sagiri
    feels like those of living creatures.
[13:53] Yuzuriha
    See? There's so much we don't know.
[13:56] Yuzuriha
    We should work together
    and gather information.
[13:59] Yuzuriha
    I'll tell you everything I know.
[14:03] Gabimaru
    Why are you willing to reveal so much?
[14:05] Gabimaru
    Are you that desperate to survive?
[14:09] Yuzuriha
    I have one younger sister.
[14:13] Yuzuriha
    She's got an incurable disease,
    but can't afford any medicine.
[14:17] Yuzuriha
    I became a shinobi in order to make money.
[14:20] Yuzuriha
    I endured hellish training
    with the Kai of Kasumidani.
[14:23] Gabimaru
    The Kai shinobi are from Mizoredani.
[14:25] Yuzuriha
    Uh, right. That place.
[14:27] Yuzuriha
    Anyway, uh... the village chief, uh...
[14:32] Yuzuriha
    He said something about
    how I couldn't do that.
[14:34] Yuzuriha
    And then they betrayed me.
[14:36] Gabimaru
    If you're lying, then keep it short.
[14:38] Yuzuriha
    Oh, you figured it out?
[14:41] Yuzuriha
    Do I need a reason to want to survive?
[14:45] Yuzuriha
    Some deep personal motivation?
[14:48] Yuzuriha
    I've got nothing like that.
[14:51] Yuzuriha
    Do I need a reason to want to
    make it back home alive?
[14:54] Yuzuriha
    I don't want to die
    while I'm still so young.
[14:57] Yuzuriha
    That's all.
[14:58] Yuzuriha
    Maybe you samurai wouldn't understand.
[15:02] Yuzuriha
    After all, you risk your lives
    just because the shogun wills it,
[15:05] Yuzuriha
    and never even question it.
[15:09] Gabimaru
    I have another question.
[15:12] Yuzuriha
    Hmm?
[15:13] Gabimaru
    What did you actually do to Moro Makiya?
[15:22] Yuzuriha
    Nothing.
[15:25] Yuzuriha
    You care about the lives of others?
[15:28] Yuzuriha
    It'll get you killed.
[15:33] Gabimaru
    Fine.
[15:34] Gabimaru
    I want information.
[15:36] Gabimaru
    As long as we're simply fighting together
    and not fully cooperating...
[15:39] Yuzuriha
    All right! You're the best, Gabi-chan.
[15:41] Yuzuriha
    Ow, ow, ow! I just got a little excited.
[15:44] Yuzuriha
    What is this for?
[15:45] Gabimaru
    I have a wife.
[15:47] Senta
    Then let's share what we know.
[15:49] Yuzuriha
    No, wait. We're working together now.
[15:52] Yuzuriha
    We don't have to tell them anything else.
[15:54] Gabimaru
    The words were barely out of your mouth
    before you went back on them.
[15:57] Yuzuriha
    I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
[16:01] Sagiri
    What have I done
    since arriving on this island?
[16:06] Sagiri
    I lost my bearings against those monsters
    and let the situation overwhelm me.
[16:10] Sagiri
    What purpose have
    the sword skills I honed served?
[16:15] Sagiri
    I'm so powerless.
[16:26] Toma
    Change is strength.
[16:29] (Flashback) Student
    He became an agent of the clan
    within a month of joining it.
[16:32] (Flashback) Eizen
    Impressive, Toma.
[16:34] (Flashback) Eizen
    The final step is for you to execute a
    criminal so we can add your name to the list.
[16:38] (Flashback) Eizen
    Which execution would be suitable?
[16:43] (Flashback) Toma
    I have a request.
[16:52] (Flashback) Toma
    Thank you for waiting.
[16:54] (Flashback) Toma
    I've come to save you, brother.
[16:57] (Flashback) Chobe
    Took you long enough.
[16:59] (Flashback) Toma
    Not even a word of thanks
    for your younger brother who infiltrated
[17:02] (Flashback) Toma
    the Yamada clan and achieved
    this status within a month?
[17:04] (Flashback) Chobe
    I endured a month of torture at their hands.
[17:08] (Flashback) Toma
    And now you're more handsome than ever.
[17:10] (Flashback) Chobe
    So, how are we getting out?
[17:12] (Flashback) Chobe
    The magistrate's men don't give up easily.
[17:15] (Flashback) Toma
    There's apparently a way
    to make them stop pursing us.
[17:21] (Flashback) Chobe
    I'm in.
[17:22] Toma
    Change means changing yourself
    according to the situation.
[17:27] Toma
    Brother...
[17:28] Toma
    Quickly appraising a situation
    and understanding it.
[17:31] Chobe
    Are these things alive?
[17:34] Toma
    Some situations can be
    difficult to understand.
[17:41] Chobe
    Then they can be killed!
[17:43] Toma
    My brother's strength is
    how quickly he understands situations.
[17:47] Toma
    He always has.
[17:49] Toma
    Even when the lord our father
    served committed an outrage
[17:51] Official A
    A lord's crimes are his vassals' crimes!
[17:54] Toma
    at Edo Castle and our clan was disbanded.
[17:59] Toma
    Even when our mother died
    while we were living in poverty.
[18:03] (Flashback) Sergeant
    For avenging their master,
    all 47 ronin shall be beheaded.
[18:10] Toma
    Even when our father was executed
    for avenging his lord.
[18:23] Toma
    Even when we were attacked by bandits.
[18:26] Toma
    He immediately understood the situation
    and ultimately ended up controlling it.
[18:32] (Flashback) Magistrate
    Give yourself up, Bandit King Chobe!
[18:35] (Flashback) Magistrate
    Come quietly!
[18:38] (Flashback) Chobe
    Toma, I want you to run.
[18:40] (Flashback) Toma
    Brother.
[18:41] (Flashback) Chobe
    Come rescue me later.
[18:44] (Flashback) Chobe
    I believe in you.
[18:48] Toma
    We don't live in a world
    where the strong prey on the weak.
[18:52] Toma
    It's survival of the fittest.
[18:54] Toma
    It's those who can adapt that are strong.
[19:00] Toma
    Brother...
[19:00] Chobe
    Toma,
[19:02] Chobe
    we're slipping through the monsters.
[19:03] Toma
    Got it.
[19:06] Toma
    Fleeing a situation you can't
    understand can also be the right choice.
[19:11] Toma
    My brother is a genius when it comes to change.
[19:14] Toma
    The one thing that hasn't changed is...
[19:22] Toma
    Brother...
[19:28] Toma
    Change is strength.
[19:32] Toma
    Those who cannot change are unnecessary.
[19:37] Toma
    That's why my brother is strong.
[19:43] Toma
    Damn monsters!
[19:44] Toma
    You won't get past me!
[19:52] Chobe
    What's more effective against a monster
    than its own weapons?
[19:56] Toma
    Brother...
[19:57] Chobe
    You bought me time to pick up a weapon.
[20:03] Toma
    Brother!
[20:05] Toma
    Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother!
[20:11] Soshin
    Murder is a sin.
[20:15] Soshin
    Even insects are alive.
[20:18] Soshin
    So are fish.
[20:20] Soshin
    You mustn't harm them.
[20:20] Chobe
    These things can talk?
[20:22] Soshin
    Murder is a sin.
[20:23] Toma
    Brother, are these real deities?
[20:27] Toma
    Are we in not in Heaven,
    but in Hell instead?
[20:31] Toma
    Where sinners receive divine punishment?
[20:37] (Flashback) Official A
    A lord's crimes are his vassals' crimes!
[20:40] (Flashback) Sergeant
    They shall be executed!
[20:42] (Flashback) Magistrate
    Arrest that criminal Chobe!
[20:47] Chobe
    I'm sick of hearing about crimes and sins.
[20:53] Chobe
    Evil? Sin?
[20:55] Chobe
    I don't give a shit.
[20:56] Chobe
    You're the ones who decided that.
[20:59] Chobe
    You're slaves to righteousness.
[21:02] Chobe
    You're puppets without your own desires.
[21:06] Chobe
    I'm not letting anyone
    else tell me what to do.
[21:08] Chobe
    I'll do what I wanna do.
[21:13] Chobe
    I'm my own lord.
[21:15] Chobe
    I'm my own god.
[21:19] Toma
    My brother's strength is change.
[21:21] Toma
    And because he changes,
    it always comes to the fore...
[21:26] Toma
    His unyielding sense of self.
[21:29] (Flashback) Young Toma
    Father, Mother...
[21:32] (Flashback) Young Toma
    I wanna go back to the mansion.
[21:36] (Flashback) Young Toma
    We were the sons of samurai,
    but now we're bandits.
[21:40] (Flashback) Young Toma
    I don't know what's right anymore.
[21:50] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    Don't cry, Toma.
[21:52] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    Show any weakness, and you'll die.
[21:54] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    If you don't know what's right, then trust me.
[21:58] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    I'm your older brother.
[21:59] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    An older brother shows his
    younger brother the way.
[22:02] (Flashback) Young Chobe
    I'm always right.
[22:07] Chobe
    If these monsters exist,
    then the Elixir must be real as well.
[22:12] Chobe
    All right.
[22:14] Chobe
    I've made up my mind.
[22:15] Chobe
    We'll kill every last monster and criminal.
[22:18] Chobe
    Then no one can stop us
    from finding the Elixir.
[22:22] Chobe
    We'll drink the Elixir ourselves.
[22:25] Chobe
    Not even death will be
    able to tell us how to live.
[22:35] Toma
    Will it really go so well?
[22:37] Chobe
    What?
[22:38] Toma
    This island is a dangerous place.
[22:41] Toma
    Anyone else we meet will be another survivor.
[22:46] Toma
    The threats here are that great.
[22:50] Toma
    The weak will be weeded out.
