[00:27] Tenza
    As far back as I could remember,
    people always said the same things about me.
[00:33] (Flashback) Townie A
    Trash.
[00:34] (Flashback) Townie B
    Good for nothing.
[00:35] (Flashback) Townie C
    Useless.
[00:39] Tenza
    I was born and raised in the slums.
[00:42] Tenza
    My parents had neither the
    resources nor desire to feed me.
[00:53] Tenza
    When I got hungry, I stole, and I took.
[00:57] Tenza
    Aside from killing, I'd do anything.
[01:04] Tenza
    I slept when I wanted to,
[01:07] Tenza
    and woke when I wanted to.
[01:14] Tenza
    I was free.
[01:18] (Flashback) Tenza
    Ow.
[01:19] (Flashback) Tenza
    Hey, watch where you're going!
[01:21] (Flashback) Samurai A
    A street urchin, huh?
[01:22] (Flashback) Samurai A
    Trash.
[01:32] (Flashback) Samurai A
    Please, no more.
[01:40] (Flashback) Shion
    That's enough.
[01:43] (Flashback) Tenza
    Who the hell are you?
SIGN    Student and Master
[03:28] Nurugai
    We won't find a current leading off
    the island wandering the beach aimlessly.
[03:33] Nurugai
    The sun and sand will just exhaust us.
[03:36] Tenza
    Stop being right all the time!
[03:37] Tenza
    It's the best idea that an idiot
    like me is gonna come up with.
[03:40] Tenza
    There are bugs and monsters in the woods.
[03:43] Nurugai
    We could defeat them by working together.
[03:45] Tenza
    Now that I know you're a woman,
    I'd like to avoid danger.
[03:49] Nurugai
    You know what? I really
    do want to marry you.
[03:52] Tenza
    It's way too soon for
    that in lots of ways.
[03:53] Tenza
    We need to leave this place alive
    before we start thinking about marriage.
[03:57] Tenza
    Let's play it safe, even if it takes longer.
[04:00] Tenza
    We'll avoid fighting as much as possible.
[04:02] Nurugai
    Your prudence will make you a good husband.
[04:06] Tenza
    Huh?
[04:12] Tenza
    What? Who?
[04:15] Tenza
    She just fell from the sky...
[04:17] Zhu Jin (F)
    The forest was... noisy. It was unusual.
[04:22] Zhu Jin (F)
    I saw the corpses of many Soshin.
[04:25] Zhu Jin (F)
    Also unusual.
[04:28] Zhu Jin (M)
    Did you do it?
[04:30] Nurugai
    It turned into a man.
[04:32] Tenza
    It's a monster. We should run.
[04:35] Zhu Jin (M)
    Why do you flee?
[04:40] Tenza
    Huh?
[04:41] Zhu Jin (M)
    It's pointless.
[04:52] Zhu Jin (M)
    Not that it matters,
[04:54] Zhu Jin (M)
    but doesn't it bother you
    when things aren't as they normally are?
[04:58] Zhu Jin (M)
    I don't like it, myself.
[05:09] Zhu Jin (M)
    Huh, you move well for a human.
[05:26] Zhu Jin (M)
    You're fast for a human.
[05:31] Tenza
    Nurugai-san!
[05:34] Tenza
    We'll run on my signal.
[05:36] Tenza
    Don't think about defeating it. Just run.
[05:38] Nurugai
    Okay.
[05:38] Tenza
    I don't have much stamina, but...
[05:43] Tenza
    I take pride in the quickness of my blade.
[05:57] Zhu Jin (M)
    Oh?
[06:00] Tenza
    Now!
[06:21] Zhu Jin (M)
    You tore my clothes.
[06:27] Zhu Jin (M)
    How awful.
[06:39] Nurugai
    Huh?
[06:41] Tenza
    Ma...
[06:42] Tenza
    Master!
[06:43] Shion
    Run, Tenza!
[06:45] Tenza
    Yes, Master!
[06:52] Nurugai
    Who is he?
[06:54] Tenza
    Yamada Asaemon Shion.
[06:56] Tenza
    My master.
[06:58] Nurugai
    He's blind.
[07:00] Nurugai
    But he's running through
    the forest regardless.
[07:03] Tenza
    He apparently "sees" using smells and sounds.
[07:14] Shion
    We made it pretty far.
[07:16] Tenza
    Nurugai-ku—I mean,
[07:18] Tenza
    Nurugai-san, now that this
    guy's here, we'll be okay.
[07:21] Tenza
    After all, I owe Shion-san my life,
    and he taught me to use a sword.
SIGN    Tameshi-itto-ryu Rank 4
     Yamada Asaemon
    Shion
[07:25] Tenza
    He's incredible—ow!
[07:27] Shion
    You were relying too much on your speed,
    and your movements were sloppy.
[07:31] Shion
    Go for the head or feet first against
    an opponent like that.
[07:34] Shion
    I could hear how lukewarm
    your lunges were, too.
[07:35] Tenza
    Ow!
[07:37] Shion
    Each strike should be executed carefully.
[07:38] Tenza
    Ow!
[07:39] Tenza
    Not even these circumstances can stop
    you from acting like my teacher.
[07:42] Tenza
    I'm actually kind of relieved.
[07:45] Shion
    You still finish as weakly as ever, too.
[07:47] Shion
    Unbelievable. I'm glad you're all right.
[07:50] Shion
    I thought the last time
    I saw you would be on the ship.
[07:54] Tenza
    Do you want me to say something?
[07:56] Tenza
    Wait a minute, Master. What have
    you been doing all by yourself?
[08:02] Shion
    I completed my duty and was on my way home.
[08:13] Shion
    Unable to find a current
    leading away from the island,
[08:16] Shion
    I kept searching for one.
[08:18] Nurugai
    Just like us.
[08:19] Shion
    I found what seemed to be a current
    leading out in just one place, but...
[08:25] Shion
    I heard a noise and detected a presence
    like nothing I'd experienced before.
[08:29] Shion
    Realizing there were limits to what
    a blind man could accomplish alone,
[08:32] Shion
    I searched for others
    who were also heading home.
[08:35] Tenza
    Please take us there.
[08:38] Tenza
    Together, the three of us
    can figure something out.
[08:40] Shion
    Maybe.
[08:42] Shion
    But first...
[08:48] Tenza
    What are you doing, Master?
[08:51] Shion
    It's your turn to explain.
[08:54] Shion
    Why are you protecting a criminal?
[08:55] Shion
    You were told to execute
    criminals immediately
[08:58] Shion
    if they violated the rules
    or the unexpected occurred.
[09:02] Shion
    That's what I did.
[09:06] Shion
    She tried to seduce me.
[09:12] Shion
    So I executed her,
[09:13] Shion
    as painlessly as possible.
[09:17] Shion
    You seem to be assisting
    that criminal. Explain.
[09:22] Shion
    Depending on your answer,
    an execution may be in order.
[09:25] Tenza
    This child has committed no crime.
[09:28] Shion
    I've memorized most
    of the contents of the roster.
[09:32] Shion
    I know the circumstances of the criminals.
[09:35] Shion
    But the times we live in dictate
    what is a crime, Tenza.
[09:40] Shion
    The Yamada Asaemon are
    the blade swung down by the times.
[09:44] Shion
    It would be illogical
    for a sword to choose who it cuts.
[09:48] Shion
    Above all else, you violating
    the rules could be
[09:50] Shion
    interpreted as treason committed
    by the entire Yamada clan.
[09:53] Shion
    The actions of a single man
    could threaten the entire clan.
[09:57] Tenza
    But you taught me how to use a sword.
[10:01] Tenza
    When I was a homeless scoundrel,
[10:04] Tenza
    you took me in, even though you
    weren't obligated to.
[10:09] Shion
    Because I sensed resourcefulness
    and potential in you.
[10:13] Tenza
    Then it's the same for me.
[10:15] Tenza
    I sense there's potential in a world
    where this child can live freely.
[10:20] Shion
    You've come to speak like a grown man.
[10:22] Tenza
    Because of you.
[10:25] Tenza
    Besides, I know you're a kind man.
[10:29] Tenza
    I know you'll listen to me
    if I speak from the heart.
[10:41] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't get why you'd help people.
[10:46] Shion
    If you insist.
[10:48] Tenza
    All right!
[10:49] Tenza
    See? He's a good person.
[10:52] Nurugai
    Uh, yeah.
[10:53] Shion
    But the matter has simply been tabled.
[10:56] Shion
    If protecting her would threaten
    the Yamada clan or you...
[11:02] Shion
    Then...
[11:04] Shion
    What is it?
[11:05] Tenza
    Her? I'm impressed you figured it out.
[11:08] Shion
    Of course I did.
[11:10] Shion
    I've got a good eye for evaluating people.
[11:11] Tenza
    You sure do love making jokes like that.
[11:15] Nurugai
    Nice to meet you, Master.
[11:18] Shion
    Nice to meet you, Nurugai.
[11:20] Shion
    But you needn't call me "Master."
[11:23] Shion
    I haven't taught you anything.
[11:28] Tenza
    Let's not waste any time checking
    out this current you found.
[11:31] Shion
    Keep your voice down.
[11:33] Shion
    We'll take our time and be careful.
[11:35] Shion
    The greatest threat we face
    currently is that monster.
[11:38] Shion
    It can't possibly be human.
[11:40] Shion
    We should consider how we'll
    respond if we encounter it.
[11:43] Tenza
    If we just intend to flee, then we
    should be able to do what we did earlier.
[11:48] Zhu Jin (F)
    You underestimate me.
[11:57] Tenza
    You saved us, Master.
[11:58] Nurugai
    Thank you.
[12:01] Tenza
    Master!
[12:02] Zhu Jin (F)
    Huh?
[12:03] Zhu Jin (F)
    I thought I'd taken off his head. Not bad.
[12:15] Zhu Jin (F)
    I've gotten used to that.
[12:18] Zhu Jin (F)
    You have to be alive to become Tan,
[12:23] Zhu Jin (F)
    but because you're so
    annoying, I'll kill you.
[12:25] Tenza
    What should I do? I should run, but...
[12:30] Tenza
    No, I have to kill it now.
[12:38] Tenza
    Tameshi-itto-ryu Ultimate...
[12:41] Shion
    Wait, Ten—
[12:44] Tenza
    Pounding Torrent!
[12:52] Zhu Jin (F)
    I told you, I'm used to that.
[13:04] Nurugai
    Tenza!
[13:15] (Flashback) Tenza
    Hey, Master.
[13:16] (Flashback) Tenza
    Why'd you take in a guy like me?
[13:19] (Flashback) Shion
    Mind your language.
[13:21] (Flashback) Tenza
    Why did you take me in, Master?
[13:25] (Flashback) Shion
    Taking lives is our job.
[13:28] (Flashback) Shion
    I wish to spend the rest
    of my time helping people.
[13:31] (Flashback) Shion
    It's true that you're
    a bit rough around the edges...
[13:36] (Flashback) Shion
    but I sense potential in you.
[13:38] (Flashback) Tenza
    Well, aren't you great?
[13:41] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't get why you'd help people.
[13:49] (Flashback) Tenza
    Damn it.
[13:51] (Flashback) Shion
    You're sloppy with your sword.
[13:53] (Flashback) Shion
    You're allowing your
    emotions to control you.
[13:55] (Flashback) Shion
    Your rage, and your doubt.
[13:59] (Flashback) Tenza
    It's not like I want to be a samurai.
[14:02] (Flashback) Tenza
    This is pointless.
[14:04] (Flashback) Shion
    I'm not asking you to follow
    the samurai code from the start.
[14:07] (Flashback) Shion
    But someday, if you find
    something you want to protect,
[14:12] (Flashback) Shion
    the sword skills you've developed
    will definitely help you.
[14:16] (Flashback) Tenza
    Something I want to protect...
[14:19] (Flashback) Shion
    Look at that cherry blossom tree.
[14:21] (Flashback) Shion
    Its trunk is lean,
    and its flowers are still buds.
[14:24] (Flashback) Shion
    But buds contain all manner of potential.
[14:29] (Flashback) Shion
    So do you.
[14:30] (Flashback) Shion
    The day will come when your
    buds of potential blossom.
[14:35] Townie A
    Trash.
[14:36] Townie B
    Good for nothing.
[14:37] Townie C
    Useless.
[14:37] Samurai A
    A street urchin, huh?
[14:40] (Flashback) Shion
    Now, continue.
[14:42] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't.
[14:44] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't have potential!
[14:47] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't have status or money.
[14:50] (Flashback) Tenza
    Since the day I was born,
    I've never had potential!
[14:56] (Flashback) Tenza
    I'm quitting.
[14:57] (Flashback) Shion
    What?
[14:58] (Flashback) Tenza
    I said I'm quitting.
[14:59] (Flashback) Tenza
    I've had enough of this strict lifestyle.
[15:02] (Flashback) Tenza
    I wanna live how I want to live.
[15:05] (Flashback) Shion
    Are you serious about that?
[15:06] (Flashback) Tenza
    Yeah.
[15:07] (Flashback) Shion
    Then I have a condition.
[15:10] (Flashback) Tenza
    A condition?
[15:12] (Flashback) Shion
    Just one blow.
[15:14] (Flashback) Shion
    Anytime, anywhere. Land a single blow on me.
[15:19] (Flashback) Shion
    If you can do that,
[15:20] (Flashback) Shion
    then I'll allow you to quit.
[15:26] (Flashback) Tenza
    I don't have time for this.
[15:30] (Flashback) Eizen
    Where are you going?
    The dojo is in the other direction.
[15:35] (Flashback) Eizen
    Shion told me about your deal.
[15:37] (Flashback) Eizen
    Have you already landed a blow on him?
[15:40] (Flashback) Tenza
    Are you going to drag me back?
[15:42] (Flashback) Eizen
    Do as you please.
[15:43] (Flashback) Tenza
    Huh?
[15:44] (Flashback) Eizen
    But before you go, accompany me on a walk.
[15:47] (Flashback) Eizen
    I woke up too early and have nothing to do.
SIGN    Namu Amida Butsu
[16:01] (Flashback) Eizen
    Shion's former junior sleeps here.
[16:06] (Flashback) Eizen
    His name was Tesshin.
[16:08] (Flashback) Tenza
    His junior?
[16:09] (Flashback) Eizen
    Like you, he was dissolute.
[16:12] (Flashback) Eizen
    He had talent, but he lacked motivation.
[16:16] (Flashback) Tenza
    Then Master must've put him
    through the wringer, like me.
[16:22] (Flashback) Eizen
    At the time, Shion focused
    on improving his own skills.
[16:26] (Flashback) Eizen
    He didn't have nearly the same passion
    for teaching as he does now.
[16:29] (Flashback) Eizen
    In the end, Tesshin said he'd live
    how he pleased and left the dojo.
[16:34] (Flashback) Eizen
    For a while, things stayed the same.
[16:38] (Flashback) Eizen
    That day, Shion went out
    to test his sword just like he always did
[16:42] (Flashback) Eizen
    and stood before the criminal.
[16:48] (Flashback) Eizen
    But Shion wouldn't lower
    the sword he raised.
[16:53] (Flashback) Tenza
    Could it be?
[16:54] (Flashback) Eizen
    Yes.
[16:55] (Flashback) Eizen
    Shion realized the criminal
    before him was Tesshin.
[17:00] (Flashback) Eizen
    After leaving the dojo,
[17:03] (Flashback) Eizen
    Tesshin eventually struggled
    to feed himself and turned to crime.
[17:07] (Flashback) Tenza
    What did Master do?
[17:10] (Flashback) Eizen
    Naturally, he killed him
    as a Yamada Asaemon.
[17:14] (Flashback) Eizen
    Shion clearly heard Tesshin's last words.
[17:18] (Flashback) Eizen
    Apparently, he said this.
[17:22] (Flashback) Eizen
    "Master, I'm sorry."
[17:25] (Flashback) Eizen
    That's when Shion became passionate about
[17:29] (Flashback) Eizen
    teaching his juniors
    and began helping people.
[17:32] (Flashback) Eizen
    If you live the life of a scoundrel,
    you might eventually end up the same way.
[17:37] (Flashback) Eizen
    He probably felt it would be
    a waste for that to happen.
[17:40] Shion
    So do you.
[17:42] Shion
    The day will come when your
    buds of potential blossom.
[17:46] (Flashback) Eizen
    Well?
[17:48] (Flashback) Eizen
    Will you run from this place
    without landing a single blow on him?
[18:01] (Flashback) Shion
    Ah, Tenza.
[18:03] (Flashback) Tenza
    Master, please spar with me.
[18:16] (Flashback) Shion
    You seem different than before.
[18:19] Tenza
    I've never seriously devoted myself
    to anything before, but...
[18:30] (Flashback) Shion
    Your flanks are undefended.
[18:34] (Flashback) Tenza
    Again.
[18:36] (Flashback) Tenza
    Again.
[18:39] (Flashback) Tenza
    Again.
[18:42] (Flashback) Tenza
    Again.
[18:44] Tenza
    I want to land a blow on him.
[18:51] Tenza
    He's the first person
    to believe in my potential.
[18:56] Tenza
    Hey, Master.
[18:58] Tenza
    Can I believe in my own potential?
[19:01] Tenza
    And like you said, someday...
[19:06] Tenza
    Someday, will I find
    someone I want to protect?
[19:21] Tenza
    My fingertips are growing cold.
[19:25] Tenza
    But I'm burning from the chest up.
[19:31] Tenza
    I see.
[19:33] Tenza
    I'm dying.
[19:36] Tenza
    We're all going to be
    killed by this monster.
[19:50] Tenza
    I won't let that happen!
[19:56] Tenza
    Even if I die, I'll make sure they escape.
[19:59] Tenza
    I don't care how I do it.
[20:02] Tenza
    I'll do everything I can
    to buy time for them.
[20:14] Tenza
    Stay away.
[20:16] Tenza
    Run. Please run.
[20:29] Tenza
    Both of you, run.
[20:33] Tenza
    Don't, Master.
[20:35] Tenza
    You can't beat it.
[20:36] Tenza
    You know that.
[20:39] Tenza
    My throat's too damaged to speak.
[20:42] Tenza
    Master, please run.
[20:44] Tenza
    Just one word.
[20:46] Tenza
    Let me speak.
[21:04] Nurugai
    Tenza!
[21:21] Tenza
    Master, I'm sorry.
[21:23] Tenza
    You took care of me, but I...
[21:26] Tenza
    Nurugai-san, please live.
[21:29] Tenza
    You have potential.
[21:33] Tenza
    Potential...
[21:35] Tenza
    I wonder what potential I had.
[21:50] Zhu Jin (F)
    He was pretty tough.
[22:03] Nurugai
    Why are we abandoning him? I'm going back!
[22:06] Shion
    Don't.
[22:08] Shion
    This is what Tenza wanted.
[22:11] Nurugai
    But still... you're his master, right?
[22:15] Nurugai
    Isn't he your student?
[22:16] Shion
    He's more than that!
[22:18] Shion
    We're brothers who wanted the same thing.
[22:22] Shion
    He risked his life for us.
    I can't waste that.
[22:28] Shion
    We can't beat that monster right now.
[22:30] Shion
    If we hadn't run, we would've all died.
[22:32] Shion
    We had to retreat.
[22:34] Shion
    But I swear we'll make them pay.
[23:06] (Flashback) Tenza
    All right! I hit you!
[23:10] (Flashback) Shion
    That was impressive.
[23:11] (Flashback) Shion
    Now you're free to do as you please.
[23:17] (Flashback) Tenza
    Master, will you keep
    teaching—no, I mean...
[23:22] (Flashback) Tenza
    Master, I humbly request that you
    continue teaching me to use a sword.
[23:28] (Flashback) Shion
    Of course.
