[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.
