SIGN    Eiroku 11 (1568)
     The Country of Hinomoto
[00:23] Narration
    Hinomoto was once a human land...
[00:31] Narration
    But with the sudden appearance of the
    enigmatic Kishin, their rule came to an end.
[00:38] Narration
    The famous Warring States generals
    fell one after another,
[00:42] Narration
    yet some continued to struggle against
    the complete dominance of the Kishin
[00:46] Narration
    in a battle that rages to this day.
[00:51] Narration
    They are the only people willing
     to stand up to the demonic oni.
[00:56] Narration
    And they're known... as bands of Bushi!

    Musashi really can dig better than anybody!
[03:40] Pupil 2
    He's the pride of our class!
[03:42] Pupil 1
    You managed to dig up some of that
    legendary Rakshasas ore, right?
[03:46] Pupil 3
    You're a mining all-star!
[03:48] Pupil 2
    Musashi's gonna be named top of the
    class this year, no doubt about it!
[03:51] Pupil 3
    Our Musashi, the mining prodigy!
[03:54] Musashi
    Aw, quit trying to embarrass me!
[03:56] Pupil 1
    You've gotta teach us how you do it!
[03:59] Musashi
    Sure thing.
[04:00] Pupil 2
    That's a big pickaxe...
[04:01] Pupil 3
    You're the only one who can handle this thing.
[04:03] Pupil 1
    I guess top miners just do
    everything differently!

[04:14] Teacher
    They were monsters who dominated
    Hinomoto until 150 years ago.
[04:19] Teacher
    Through violence and social inequality,
[04:21] Teacher
    they made life for the agricultural
    class a living hell.
[04:26] Pupil 1
    That's awful!
[04:27] Pupil 2
    They suck.
[04:28] Musashi
    That's not true.
[04:30] Musashi
    The Bushi were the only ones
    who stood up against the oni.
[04:33] Musashi
    I know the truth.
[05:06] (Flashback) Young Musashi/Kojiro
    Sword fighting is awesome!
[05:09] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    You still use big, sloppy moves, Musashi.
[05:12] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Shut up! At least I don't poke
    with my sword like a toothpick!
[05:15] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    What's that even mean?
[05:17] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    Bigger is obviously better, anyway!
[05:19] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    What are you talking about?
[05:19] Jisai
    Why don't you boys take a break?
[05:23] (Flashback) Jisai
    The only force willing to stand up to the oni...
[05:27] (Flashback) Jisai
    Those are the Bushi.
[05:30] (Flashback) Jisai
    A bunch of evil oni have taken over Hinomoto,
[05:34] (Flashback) Jisai
    but the Bushi are still fighting
    in hopes of beating them one day...
[05:41] (Flashback) Jisai
    so that Hinomoto will know freedom again.
[05:45] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    So cool!
[05:47] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    Are they really gonna be able to
    beat these giant monsters...?
[05:54] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    That's probably why they're all fighting!
[05:57] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    I bet Bushi fight together
    with their friends!
[06:00] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    With their friends?
    I like the sound of that.
[06:04] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Okay, we're gonna do it too, Kojiro!
[06:07] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    Do what?
[06:08] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    You and me are gonna become Bushi!
[06:10] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Then we'll leave town
    and go around fighting oni!
[06:13] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    What, together?
[06:14] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Is that a problem?!
[06:16] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    No... I guess not.
[06:20] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Then that settles it!
[06:22] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    Yeah!
[06:25] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    We're gonna form the
    strongest Bushi band ever!
[06:28] (Flashback) Young Musashi/Kojiro
    Yeah!
[06:39] Teacher
    Tomorrow is your entrance ceremony.
[06:41] Teacher
    Remember everything you've learned here
[06:43] Teacher
    and serve the oni masters
    as best as you can!
[06:46] Pupil 1
    I wonder what the oni masters are like.
[06:48] Pupil 2
    They've gotta be really glamorous!
[06:51] Pupil 1/2
    Oh, Miss Oni!
[06:55] Teacher
    Okay, today will be the last time you do this.
[06:57] Teacher
    Let's chant your dreams, nice and loud!
[07:03] Musashi
    Today I'm gonna say it.
[07:06] Teacher
    What's the future you all dream about?
[07:10] Pupils
    Becoming miners!
[07:11] Musashi
    Bu...shi...!
[07:14] Teacher
    Okay, one more time!
[07:16] Teacher
    What do you all dream about?
[07:18] Musashi
    Bu...shi!
[07:18] Pupils
    Becoming miners!
[07:21] Teacher
    Well done!
[07:23] Teacher
    Make sure to work hard once
    you're in the Tatsuyama Mine.
[07:26] Pupils
    Right!
[07:28] Pupils
    This is gonna be great.
[07:29] Pupils
    Let's do good work!
[07:31] Musashi
    I couldn't say it... again.
[07:35] Musashi
    Dammit!
[07:41] Pupil 1
    Almost time for the entrance ceremony!
[07:44] Pupil 2
    Our dreams are finally gonna come true!
[07:46] Pupil 3
    We're all gonna be miners together, Musashi!
[07:49] Musashi
    I've got something to take care of.
[07:53] Musashi
    See ya.
[07:54] Pupil 1
    What do you mean?
[07:55] Pupil 2
    Where are you going, Musashi?
[07:57] Pupil 3
    Musashi!
[08:16] Musashi
    Kojiro! You there?
[08:21] Musashi
    Hey! I came by again.
[08:24] Kojiro
    Go home.
[08:25] Musashi
    Aw, what's the big deal?
[08:27] Musashi
    Man, I'm starving. You got anything to eat?
[08:28] Kojiro
    Go eat at your dorm.
[08:31] Musashi
    Did you eat yet?
[08:33] Kojiro
    Don't you have an entrance
    ceremony tomorrow?
[08:35] Kojiro
    Should you really be wasting
    time in a place like this?
[08:38] Musashi
    Yeah, about that...
[08:41] Musashi
    At this rate, I'm gonna end up
     working as a miner.
[08:46] Musashi
    So...
[08:48] Musashi
    I came here to have a serious talk with you.
[08:53] Kojiro
    What is this? Why do you have that?
[08:57] Musashi
    It's my katana for fighting oni!
[08:59] Kojiro
    Fighting oni?
[09:01] Musashi
    Yeah! It's time to leave town.
[09:03] Musashi
    We're gonna form a Bushi band,
     like we promised...
[09:08] Musashi
    And fight some oni!
[09:10] Kojiro
    A katana? That's a pickaxe.
[09:13] Musashi
    It's a katana that's shaped like a pickaxe!
[09:16] Musashi
    I was training to fight with this thing
     the entire time I was digging!
[09:21] Musashi
    For five years! All so we could
    leave town together today!
[09:30] Kojiro
    I don't think so.
[09:32] Kojiro
    My old man was just trying
    to make us feel better.
[09:34] Musashi
    What are you talking about, Kojiro?
[09:36] Kojiro
    My dad and I are descended from Bushi.
[09:39] Kojiro
    That's why we get treated like trash in town.
[09:42] Kojiro
    So my dad, before he died,
    lied to make me feel better...
[09:47] Kojiro
    All that stuff about Bushi being heroes
    and oni being scary monsters.
[09:52] Musashi
    Kojiro...
[09:53] Kojiro
    And that's the truth of it.
[09:55] Musashi
    You can't buy into this crap too!
[09:57] Musashi
    Remember what your dad said?!
[09:59] Musashi
    A Bushi never gives up on his dreams!
[10:01] Musashi
    So don't give up on your
    dream of being a Bushi!
[10:04] Kojiro
    You're not even serious
    about it yourself anymore.
[10:08] Musashi
    Huh?! Yes, I am!
[10:10] Kojiro
    Quit lying.
[10:11] Kojiro
    Why else would you be shouting
    that stuff in school every day?
[10:16] Musashi
    Wh-What do you mean...?
[10:19] Kojiro
    "My dream for the future
    is to become a miner!"
[10:26] Musashi
    I was just...
[10:27] Kojiro
    Just what?
[10:29] Musashi
    I was...
[10:30] Kojiro
    Yet here you wanna talk about fighting oni
    and chasing after dreams.
[10:33] Kojiro
    How am I supposed to believe you
[10:36] Kojiro
    when you're saying the exact opposite
     of what you do in school?
[10:39] Kojiro
    It's not happening.
[10:41] Kojiro
    And I don't want to hear
    nonsense about dreams
[10:44] Kojiro
    from someone who spouts lies
     at the people around him!
[10:52] Musashi
    Fine...
[10:55] Musashi
    You wanna be like that?
[10:57] Musashi
    Just watch.
[10:59] Musashi
    I'll prove how serious I am!
[11:07] Kojiro
    You deserve a normal life, Musashi.
[11:23] Townspeople
    Look at that sword.
[11:24] Man
    Hey, why don't you use that big
    sword to pick up the trash?
[11:27] Mother2
    Stop that. Don't look at the Bushi.
[11:33] (Flashback) Teacher2
    Section 3 of Article 9
    of the Universal Aki Prohibitions...
[11:37] (Flashback) Teacher2
    Bushi must carry their katana at all
    times for identification purposes.
[11:42] (Flashback) Teacher2
    Because they were the criminals responsible
    for the Warring States period!
[11:46] (Flashback) Student 1
    Wow...
[11:47] (Flashback) Student 2
    Ew!
[11:47] (Flashback) Student 3

    The descendant of Bushi!
[12:16] Kojiro
    You're not like me...
[12:19] Kojiro
    You should become a proper miner.
[12:22] Kojiro
    Okay, brother?
[12:29] Musashi
    I'm serious about this
    dream of becoming a Bushi!

    This is gonna be great!

[13:57] Miner 2
    H-Help—
[14:02] Pupil 3
    Th-This is paradise...?
[14:03] Official 4
    Glad to see a new batch of slaves has arrived.
[14:06] Friend 1
    Slaves?!
[14:07] Official 4
    And now your dreams will finally come true!
[14:10] Official 4
    Now, dig up stones for your
    oni masters until you die!
[14:27] Friend 1
    Th-Those things... are oni?
[14:29] Official 4
    They're your oni masters, you fool!
[14:35] Pupil 3
    Th-They're freaking monsters!
[14:37] Pupil 2
    W-We've been lied to all this time?
[14:41] Musashi
    I knew all along that oni
    were really monsters.
[14:45] Musashi
    And this is gonna be my first step
    toward making my dream come true!
[14:48] Musashi
    It's time for Musashi of the
     Kanemaki Sword School to slay some oni!
[14:59] Musashi
    Crap! I can't fight without a weapon!
[15:02] Official 4
    Behave like the slaves you are
    and obey your oni masters!
[15:26] Kojiro
    Fighting oni, huh?
[15:40] Kojiro
    What am I even thinking about?
[15:42] Kojiro
    I can't make Musashi suffer
    for my Bushi blood...
[15:49] Kojiro
    That goof...
[15:50] Kojiro
    He must've dropped this in his hurry.
SIGN    Training Notes
[16:02] Kojiro
    Has he...?
[16:07] Friend 1
    Musashi!
[16:08] Friend 2
    Just give up!
[16:10] Friend 2
    Do what the officials and oni masters say!
[16:12] Friend 3
    Otherwise they'll kill you!
[16:15] Musashi
    But fighting oni...
[16:18] Musashi
    is a Bushi's job.
[16:21] Friend 1
    Bushi?!
[16:22] Friend 2
    What are you saying, Musashi?!
[16:24] Friend 3
    We're miners, remember?!
[16:28] Musashi
    Why was I lying... about my real dream?
[16:38] Musashi
    Thanks to that, Kojiro lost faith in me.
[16:42] Musashi
    I never meant to lie to anyone...
[16:49] Musashi
    But if I'd told the truth,
    they would've thought I was a freak.
[16:52] Musashi
    So I thought it was okay.
[16:55] Musashi
    Really, I was lying...
[17:01] Musashi
    to myself.
[17:08] Musashi
    I didn't want to stand out.
[17:10] Musashi
    I didn't want to be left out.
[17:13] Musashi
    So I went with the flow...
[17:16] Musashi
    and I lost sight...
[17:22] Musashi
    of what really matters most.
[17:31] Official 4
    Now this is a fine example of a
    miner serving his oni masters.
[17:35] Official 4
    How's it feel for your dream to come true?!
[17:38] Musashi
    My dream?
[17:40] Official 4
    The one you were taught in school!
[17:42] Official 4
    Your dream of becoming a miner!
[17:45] Musashi
    Dead wrong.
[17:47] Musashi
    My dream...
[17:49] Musashi
    is being a Bushi, you dumbass!
[17:52] Official 4
    Then you can die!
[18:09] Official 4
    A Kitetsu Mount?!
[18:14] Musashi
    Kojiro?
[18:17] Kojiro
    You idiot!
[18:19] Kojiro
    What the hell is your deal?!
[18:21] Kojiro
    You were serious all along?!
[18:22] Kojiro
    You were actually training your sword skills
     while pretending to dig up rocks?!
[18:27] Musashi
    I was serious.
[18:28] Musashi
    But I guess I can't blame you
     for not believing me...
[18:32] Musashi
    after the way I went along
    with everyone else.
[18:34] Officials
    Possession of a Kitetsu Mount
     is a capital offense!
[18:37] Officials
    The two of you are hereby
    sentenced to slaughter!
[18:42] Kojiro
    These things are oni?
[18:43] Kojiro
    This means Dad was right all along!
[18:45] Musashi
    Yeah.
[18:48] Musashi
    It's great, isn't it?
[18:50] Musashi
    I'll show you just how serious I am, Kojiro!
[19:00] Pupil 3
    It's gonna be stuck in the ground like that!
[19:01] Pupil 2
    What are you trying to do, Musashi?!
[19:03] Official 4
    Fool! Imbecile!
[19:04] Kojiro
    No...
[19:10] Kojiro
    He's using the ground as a sheath!
[19:15] Kojiro
    With the earth itself acting as a scabbard,
[19:18] Kojiro
    you draw a flying spiral
    to cleave apart demons.
[19:20] Kojiro
    It's the Kanemaki-Isshin Style
    sword-drawing technique...
[19:31] Musashi
    Thousand Vortex Shredder!
[19:39] Pupils 1+2+3
    He did it!
[19:40] Official 4
    Impossible... That was an oni master...
[19:46] Kojiro
    Amazing... That was amazing, Musashi!
[19:57] Musashi
    Kojiro...
[19:59] Kojiro
    Yeah?
[20:00] Musashi
    Just so you know,
    I didn't ask you to come along
[20:03] Musashi
    because I'm scared of
    fighting oni on my own!
[20:07] Kojiro
    Then why?
[20:09] Musashi
    I just don't wanna be
    in a Bushi band by myself!
[20:13] Musashi
    Let's say I take down a whole mountain
    of oni, have adventures...
[20:17] Musashi
    and rise to the top!
[20:19] Musashi
    How am I supposed to
    celebrate that on my own?!
[20:33] Musashi
    Food doesn't even taste as good
     when you eat it alone.
[20:36] Musashi
    It'd be no fun without you.
[20:46] Musashi
    Let's do this together! You and me!
[20:54] Kojiro
    All right.
[21:02] Kojiro
    What is that?!
[21:11] Official 4
    It's a Kishin!
[21:13] Official 4
    A mighty Kishin is descending!
[21:18] Musashi
    A Kishin?!
[21:19] Friend 1
    They're the most important kind of oni!
[21:20] Kojiro
    An oni boss, huh?
[21:22] Official 4
    Everyone, retreat!
[21:28] Musashi
    Watch it!
[21:33] Kojiro
    You still use big, wild swings, I see.
[21:35] Musashi
    Whatever! It's better than you
    and your toothpick sword.
[21:40] Jisai
    The only force willing to stand up to the oni...
[21:44] Jisai
    Those are the Bushi.
[21:50] Kojiro
    Let's do this.
[21:52] Musashi
    We'll take down the oni together!
[23:25] Musashi
    You showed up just when I needed you, man!
[23:27] Kojiro
    I mean, we've known each other long enough.
[23:30] Musashi
    I guess you could sense I was in trouble!
[23:31] Kojiro
    Yeah, something like that...
[23:34] Kojiro
    I was really just returning his notes
[23:35] Kojiro
    and grabbed his pickaxe when
    I saw it on the way in.
