[00:02] Jun
    One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
[00:14] Tatsu
    Mother! I'm heading out!
[00:16] Hisa
    Tatsuzo! Where are you going?
[00:18] Tat
    The dojo, of course!
[00:20] Tat
    I henceforth devote myself to the sword!
[00:27] Tat
    Farewell!
[00:30] Jun
    Brother?
SIGN    Parting
[01:39] Hisa
    This is no laughing matter.
[01:41] Hisa
    It's like he's a completely
    different person.
[01:44] Hei
    That's the nature of youth.
[01:47] Hei
    Sometimes you're focused on play,
[01:49] Hei
    sometimes you devote yourself to the sword.
[01:52] Hei
    It's the fickleness of youth.
[01:56] Hisa
    I wish it weren't like this.
[01:57] Hei
    It's harmless.
[02:00] Hei
    He is working hard to learn
    a samurai's main skill.
[02:05] Hei
    Swordplay is the best thing there is.
[02:07] Jun
    Better than juggling?
[02:12] Hei
    The sword leads you to others.
[02:14] Hei
    Strong people, dangerous people,
     amusing people...
[02:18] Hei
    And sometimes you have the
    kind of mysterious encounter
[02:24] Hei
    that appears guided by fate.
[02:42] (Flashback) Taka
    Enough!
[02:43] (Flashback) Man
    I give!
[02:52] (Flashback) Taka
    Next!
[02:54] (Flashback) Mat
    Excuse me!
[03:09] (Flashback) Mat
    I am Matsuoka Jubei.
[03:11] (Flashback) Mat
    I have come for training.
[03:14] (Flashback) Tet
    A challenge to the dojo?
[03:18] (Flashback) Taka
    Matsuoka-dono...
[03:22] (Flashback) Taka
    I may be old, but I hope you'll try me first.
[03:42] (Flashback) Tet
    Damn it! I wish he'd let me try.
[04:04] (Flashback) Tet
    It's been a damned hour!
[04:07] (Flashback) Tet
    How long are they gonna glare at each other?
[04:09] (Flashback) Sa
    Look! That sweat...
[04:23] (Flashback) Taka
    Is that it?
[04:25] (Flashback) Mat
    Thank you for the fine training.
[04:34] (Flashback) Tet
    I request a match!
[04:50] (Flashback) Tet
    Ow, ow, ow!
[04:54] (Flashback) Sama
    He really got you, Tetsu-san!
[05:02] (Flashback) Sama
    The man had an air about him, though.
[05:05] (Flashback) Sama
    Just who was he?
[05:12] (Flashback) Tet
    Damn it!
[05:15] (Flashback) Sama
    Want a little distraction tonight, Tetsu-san?
[05:19] (Flashback) Tet
    Yeah.
[05:21] (Flashback) Tet
    But I'm a little light on funds.
[05:24] (Flashback) Den
    Tetsusaburo! How have you been?
[05:28] (Flashback) Tet
    I'm happy to see that
    you remain well, Father.
[05:34] (Flashback) Den
    How respectful of you.
[05:36] (Flashback) Den
    Is this what you're after?
[05:43] (Flashback) Den
    Hurry! Hatsu's coming!
[05:49] (Flashback) Den
    How are things at the dojo?
[05:51] (Flashback) Den
    Sir, I'm giving it my all.
[05:56] (Flashback) Den
    Tetsusaburo...
[05:58] (Flashback) Den
    I know well that you don't
    want to stay at this house,
[06:02] (Flashback) Den
    and that you have an excess
    of pent-up resentment.
[06:07] (Flashback) Den
    That's why I entrusted
    you to Takasugi-sensei.
[06:10] (Flashback) Den
    He's the one who trained me, after all.
[06:14] (Flashback) Den
    Follow your master's teachings,
[06:17] (Flashback) Den
    and you'll never step wrong.
[06:20] (Flashback) Tet
    I shall.
[06:22] (Flashback) Hatsu
    What a lot of nonsense.
    He's already off the path.
[06:26] (Flashback) Den
    Hatsu!
[06:27] (Flashback) Hatsu
    My lord. Spending money for the prodigal son?
[06:31] (Flashback) Hatsu
    How kind of you.
[06:33] (Flashback) Den
    I wasn't...
[06:36] (Flashback) Tet
    Mother—
[06:37] (Flashback) Hat
    I am not your mother!
[06:39] (Flashback) Hat
    You're the son of a peasant
    woman from Sugamo Village.
[06:42] (Flashback) Hat
    I won't be called "mother"
    by a bastard like you.
[06:47] (Flashback) Hat
    Or do you still wish to inherit the estate?
[06:51] (Flashback) Hat
    Sneaking around like a street cat,
    begging your father for money...
[06:57] (Flashback) Hat
    Ruffian!
[06:59] (Flashback) Hat
    Come here! Come here!
[07:00] (Flashback) Den
    It's just Tetsusaburo.
[07:02] (Flashback) Den
    Stay back! Stay back!
[07:06] (Flashback) Tet
    Mother...
[07:08] (Flashback) Tet
    How old are you now?
[07:10] (Flashback) Tet
    You'd better get to work finding an heir,
[07:12] (Flashback) Tet
    or you'll run out of time.
[07:14] (Flashback) Tet
    Farewell.
[07:17] (Flashback) Sama
    Tetsu-san, did something happen to you?
[07:21] (Flashback) Tet
    Oh, no. It's nothing.
[07:24] (Flashback) Hiko
    Hey, Tetsu-san!
[07:26] (Flashback) Sama
    Hey there, Hikoju.
[07:28] (Flashback) Hiko
    Heading out on the town?
[07:30] (Flashback) Tet
    Yeah.
[07:31] (Flashback) Hiko
    For you-know-what? Or you-know-what-else?
[07:35] (Flashback) Hiko
    You know, you know...
[07:38] (Flashback) Tet
    Both.
[07:39] (Flashback) Tet
    Want to join us?
[07:41] (Flashback) Hiko
    Most gladly!
[07:47] (Flashback) Girl
    Oh, Tetsu-san, you've been so cold lately.
[07:52] (Flashback) Man
    Hey, Tetsu-san! You're loaded today.
[07:55] (Flashback) Man
    How about putting it on the line?
[07:59] (Flashback) Tet
    I lost!
[08:01] (Flashback) Tet
    Hold it right there!
[08:08] (Flashback) Tet
    Take that!
[08:27] (Flashback) Tet
    What a wild night.
[08:29] (Flashback) Tet
    But I feel a lot better now. Damn it...
[08:37] (Flashback) Tet
    I saw my dad.
[08:40] (Flashback) Chu
    Well, well...
[08:45] (Flashback) Tet
    Damn it.
[08:47] (Flashback) Tet
    Having to beg for money...
[08:49] (Flashback) ---
    Knowing that woman of his was there...
[08:57] (Flashback) Tet
    It's pathetic.
[09:00] (Flashback) Tet
    It's pathetic!
[09:11] (Flashback) Tet
    Maybe I'll become a thief. Like you.
[09:16] (Flashback) Tet
    Then I'll never have to
    see her ugly face again.
[09:19] (Flashback) Chu
    Don't be like that. That's all in the past.
[09:23] (Flashback) Tet
    The sign out front says The Thief's Bar.
[09:26] (Flashback) Tet
    Pretty ballsy.
[09:30] (Flashback) Chu
    It's more like a warning.
[09:33] (Flashback) Chu
    Tetsu-san, let me warn you.
[09:36] (Flashback) Chu
    Don't lose your head.
[09:39] (Flashback) Chu
    You're an honest man, deep down.
[09:41] (Flashback) Chu
    There's nothing worse than an
    honest man becoming a thief.
[09:46] (Flashback) Chu
    With hands stained by wicked deeds,
[09:47] (Flashback) ---
    you'll try to wipe them clean with worse.
[09:51] (Flashback) Chu
    Little by little, you'll find yourself—
[10:00] (Flashback) Oma
    He's asleep?
[10:03] (Flashback) Oma
    Oh, Tetsu-san... what'll we do with you?
[10:09] (Flashback) Chu
    Tetsu-san, c'mon.
[10:11] (Flashback) ---
    You'll catch cold there.
[10:32] (Flashback) Taka
    As you saw yesterday,
    Matsuoka-dono's skill is impressive.
[10:37] (Flashback) Taka
    He's hesitant to leave right away,
[10:40] (Flashback) ---
    so he'll be staying with us here for a while.
[10:45] (Flashback) Mat
    Takasugi-sensei overwhelmed me
    with his passion and kindness.
[10:50] (Flashback) Mat
    I hope you'll accept me.
[10:52] (Flashback) All
    Welcome!
[10:56] (Flashback) Tet
    I request a match.
[11:51] Tet
    He's... the real thing.
[12:06] (Flashback) Mat
    Your strength means nothing
    without skill and technique!
[12:11] (Flashback) Mat
    Next!
[12:12] (Flashback) Stu
    Sir!
[12:15] (Flashback) Sama
    Ow, ow...
[12:17] (Flashback) Sama
    Means nothing, he says.
[12:19] (Flashback) Tet
    You require more training.
[12:21] (Flashback) Sama
    Matsuoka-san's kicking our asses.
[12:24] (Flashback) Tet
    "Sensei." Call him Matsuoka-sensei!
[12:33] (Flashback) Mat
    They've really livened up.
[12:35] (Flashback) Taka
    Thanks to you, Matsuoka-dono.
[12:38] (Flashback) Mat
    I doubt it.
[12:39] (Flashback) Mat
    They're all splendid young men.
[12:45] (Flashback) Taka
    How long are you in Edo?
[12:46] (Flashback) Taka
    If you wish, you could remain—
[12:49] (Flashback) Mat
    I cannot.
[12:51] (Flashback) Mat
    That is... I'm a poor samurai from Koshu.
[12:56] (Flashback) Mat
    I didn't come to Edo for my stipend,
[12:58] (Flashback) ---
    but to care for a sick relative.
[13:01] (Flashback) Taka
    I see.
[13:02] (Flashback) Taka
    I had no idea. Forgive me.
[13:05] (Flashback) Mat
    Not at all.
[13:07] (Flashback) Mat
    At my age, I can't help
    but worry for the future.
[13:12] (Flashback) Mat
    I need a successor,
[13:15] (Flashback) ---
    but none of them have mastered the art yet.
[13:19] (Flashback) Mat
    Hasegawa, perhaps?
[13:20] (Flashback) Taka
    He's strong, but he can't handle it.
[13:23] (Flashback) Taka
    He only practices the sword
    to vent his resentment.
[13:26] (Flashback) Mat
    Now that you mention it,
[13:28] (Flashback) ---
    there's more driving him than just
    the usual competitive spirit.
[13:32] (Flashback) Taka
    From what his father tells me,
[13:34] (Flashback) ---
    it won't be easy to correct.
[13:37] (Flashback) Taka
    Despite how he presents himself,
    he has a rather tragic background.
[13:47] (Flashback) Taka
    Family circumstances.
[14:03] (Flashback) Tet
    What do you guys want?
[14:05] (Flashback) Sama
    Tetsu-san, it's the gambling
    house guys from before.
[14:09] (Flashback) Tet
    Oh, yeah?
[14:11] (Flashback) Tet
    Came to get back the money you frauds lost?
[14:15] (Flashback) Yaku
    Our boss isn't that worried about money.
[14:19] (Flashback) Yaku
    We've come to collect... on your life!
[14:25] (Flashback) Tet
    Interesting.
[14:27] (Flashback) Yaku
    Hey! You!
[14:30] (Flashback) Yaku
    Matsuoka-sensei!
[14:31] (Flashback) Mat
    Stay out of this.
[14:33] (Flashback) Yak
    Who the hell are you?
[14:34] (Flashback) Yak
    You wanna fight?
[14:36] (Flashback) Tet
    Sensei!
[14:37] (Flashback) Mat
    Stay out of this!
[14:38] (Flashback) Yaku
    Die!
[14:47] (Flashback) Yaku
    Get him!
[14:58] (Flashback) Yaku
    D-Damn it...
[15:07] (Flashback) Tet
    Amazing.
[15:10] (Flashback) Mat
    Hasegawa...
[15:11] (Flashback) ---
    Come with me.
[15:17] (Flashback) Mat
    You visit here frequently?
[15:20] (Flashback) Tet
    No...
[15:24] (Flashback) Mat
    "Honjo no Tetsu," I hear.
[15:26] (Flashback) Woman
    Welcome!
[15:28] (Flashback) Mat
    Hearing about you reminded
    me of my own youth.
[15:34] (Flashback) Mat
    I was quite a fool back then.
[15:38] (Flashback) Mat
    Alcohol, women, gambling, brawls...
[15:41] (Flashback) Mat
    I was a reckless man.
[15:44] (Flashback) Tet
    You, sensei?
[15:45] (Flashback) Mat
    Resentment towards the world, I think.
[15:51] (Flashback) Mat
    The truth is...
[15:53] (Flashback) ---
    I'm the son of a temple's
    head priest and a concubine.
[15:57] (Flashback) Mat
    It was a rather famous temple,
[16:00] (Flashback) ---
    so I'm sure it was quite a scandal.
[16:03] (Flashback) Mat
    My mother said he gave her
    money and threw her out.
[16:09] (Flashback) Mat
    She died when I was twelve.
[16:12] (Flashback) Mat
    But forget that.
[16:13] (Flashback) Mat
    Such talk makes the wine lose its flavor.
[16:18] (Flashback) ---
    Here's what I wanted to say:
[16:21] (Flashback) ---
    It's fine to blow off steam.
[16:23] (Flashback) ---
    That's the nature of youth.
[16:26] (Flashback) ---
    But Hasegawa...
[16:28] (Flashback) ---
    Don't do anything to
    disgrace Takasugi-sensei.
[16:32] (Flashback) ---
    That's the line you must draw.
[16:37] (Flashback) Tet
    Yes, sir.
SIGN    Simplicity and Fortitude
[16:46] (Flashback) Sama
    Tet-san, you're enthusiastic today, aren't you?
[16:49] (Flashback) Tet
    I've been reborn!
[16:52] (Flashback) Tet
    I've decided to drop my
    resentment of the world!
[16:58] (Flashback) Taka
    Hasegawa!
[17:00] (Flashback) Taka
    A message from the mansion.
[17:10] (Flashback) Kam
    It's been a while, Tetsusaburo.
[17:12] (Flashback) Kam
    It's me! Your cousin, Nagakura Kamesaburo!
[17:16] (Flashback) Tet
    Father, what in the...
[17:18] (Flashback) Hat
    You're the one who told me to find an heir.
[17:23] (Flashback) Tet
    You mean...
[17:23] (Flashback) Hat
    I'm adopting Kamesaburo here.
[17:26] (Flashback) Den
    Enough, Hatsu.
[17:28] (Flashback) Den
    That's not why we—
[17:29] (Flashback) Hat
    Your dilly-dallying gets us nowhere.
[17:33] (Flashback) Hat
    Blood is important for
    continuing a warrior family.
[17:35] (Flashback) Hat
    True blood, not that of a bastard!
[17:40] (Flashback) Hat
    Tetsusaburo, what do you think?
[17:44] (Flashback) Hat
    Go ahead. Tell us just what you're thinking.
[18:00] (Flashback) Hat
    Wh-What exactly is so funny?
[18:05] (Flashback) Sama
    Hey, Tetsu-san! What's wrong, Tetsu-san?
[18:08] (Flashback) Sama
    What happened?
[18:11] (Flashback) Hiok
    Hey, Tetsu-san!
[18:13] (Flashback) Hiok
    Hey, Tetsu-san! I've been looking everywhere!
[18:18] (Flashback) Tet
    A big job?
[18:20] (Flashback) Hiko
    Keep it down!
[18:22] (Flashback) Hiko
    I know this freelance thief.
[18:25] (Flashback) Hiko
    He's going to run a job,
    and he needs a little help.
[18:31] (Flashback) Hiko
    Of course, he's not asking you
    to join him for the break-in.
[18:35] (Flashback) Hiko
    He just needs someone to row
    the boat for the getaway.
[18:38] (Flashback) Hiko
    It'll be three days from now.
[18:40] (Flashback) Hiko
    The target is Kameso,
    a restaurant in Asakusa.
[18:42] (Flashback) Hiko
    Your share is fifty ryo!
[18:44] (Flashback) Sama
    Fifty ryo?!
[18:48] (Flashback) Tet
    Sounds fun.
[18:50] (Flashback) Tet
    You in, Sama?
[18:52] (Flashback) Sama
    Well, fifty's a lot.
[18:55] (Flashback) Hiko
    It's done!
[19:14] (Flashback) Tet
    Hey! This way!
[19:17] (Flashback) Tet
    Hurry!
[19:23] (Flashback) Tet
    What're you doing?!
[19:26] (Flashback) Mat
    Hasegawa!
[19:29] (Flashback) Tet
    Matsuoka-sensei!
[19:31] (Flashback) Mat
    Hasegawa...
[19:33] (Flashback) ---
    What did I tell you?
[19:35] (Flashback) Mat
    I said, don't do anything
    to disgrace Takasugi-sensei!
[19:40] (Flashback) Mat
    Don't you...
[19:43] (Flashback) ---
    Don't you...
[19:46] (Flashback) Mat
    Don't you become like me!
[19:55] (Flashback) Thief
    Sensei, we're out of time.
[19:57] (Flashback) Thief
    Hurry!
[20:18] Mat
    Tetsusaburo...
[20:20] Mat
    Samanosuke...
[20:23] Mat
    Take care of Takasugi-sensei.
[20:31] Hisa
    What happened to Matsuoka-sensei after that?
[20:35] Hei
    He never came back to the dojo.
[20:40] Hei
    I don't know where he is now.
[20:44] Hei
    It's clear that Matsuoka Jubei
    was part of a thief's gang.
[20:49] Hei
    He mocked Takasugi-sensei, betrayed us,
[20:53] ---
    and disappeared into the dark.
[20:55] Hei
    But...
[20:58] Hei
    But... sometimes, I think...
[21:02] Hei
    If it hadn't been for Matsuoka-sensei,
[21:06] Hei
    there'd be no Hasegawa Heizo of
    the Arson & Theft Department.
[21:20] Tat
    Oh, er... I forgot something.
[21:23] Hei
    Money for the bars?
[21:24] Tat
    How did you know?
[21:26] Hei
    Fool! You fell into my trap.
[21:30] Tat
    You're too smart for me, Father.
[21:36] Hei
    Be back by dawn.
[21:39] Tat
    You're sure?
[21:41] Hei
    Just go!
[21:42] Tat
    Thank you, Father!
[21:45] Hei
    Tatsuzo!
[21:48] Hei
    It's fine to blow off steam.
[21:50] Hei
    That's the nature of youth.
[21:53] Hei
    But don't do anything
    to disgrace your sensei.
[21:59] Hei
    That's the line you must draw.
[22:02] Tat
    Yes, sir!
[22:03] Hei
    Okay, go on!
[22:04] Tat
    Goodbye!
