**[00:39] Hirata**
It's you...
***SIGN*** Episode 1
**[03:46] Yuen**
Excuse me, my good samurai?
**[03:50] Raizo**
Who are you?
**[03:52] Yuen**
Pardon the intrusion.
My name is Usui Yuen.
**[03:58] Yuen**
Is it all right if I ask your name?
**[04:01] Raizo**
I am Kurima Raizo, a retainer
to the daimyo of Satsuma.
**[04:06] Raizo**
What do you want?
**[04:08] Yuen**
I happen to run an odd jobs
service in the area...
**[04:13] Raizo**
Odd jobs?
**[04:15] Yuen**
Yes.
**[04:16] Yuen**
Merchants of all trades,
operating at your service...
**[04:20] Yuen**
The simplest way to think of it would
be a group of all-purpose laborers.
**[04:25] Raizo**
And what does this man of
all trades want with me?
**[04:29] Yuen**
There have been rumors of a very stern-looking
samurai passing his days here recently,
**[04:35] Yuen**
like the legendary Musashibo himself.
**[04:38] Yuen**
The locals have grown concerned,
and hired me to look into the matter.
**[04:45] Yuen**
Why would an individual refined enough
to identify himself when asked
**[04:49] Yuen**
be sleeping here, under a bridge,
instead of at an inn?
**[04:57] Yuen**
I take it you have cause
to avoid prying eyes?
**[05:08] Raizo**
I killed a man.
**[05:11] Yuen**
That certainly sounds dangerous.
**[05:13] Raizo**
You don't seem surprised.
**[05:15] Yuen**
If anything, that raises more questions.
**[05:18] Yuen**
This place is far too haphazard to hide
away in, especially for an oath-breaker.
**[05:24] Raizo**
I was ordered to take this life,
and had no grounds to defy the order.
**[05:28] Raizo**
It is my duty to dispose of traitors
who pose a threat to the clan.
**[05:33] Yuen**
That makes even less sense, then.
**[05:36] Yuen**
If it was a lawful act committed within your
duty, why avoid people under a bridge?
**[05:42] Yuen**
You could return home with
your head held high, no?
**[05:47] Raizo**
It was... someone I knew.
**[05:53] Raizo**
Someone who was important to me.
**[05:57] Raizo**
Even if I didn't have a choice,
I can't face those who knew him.
**[06:03] Yuen**
That explains it.
**[06:05] Yuen**
So, in spite of a job well done,
you find yourself unable to return.
**[06:17] Yuen**
I imagine this sort of thing happens
when you're a samurai.
**[06:21] Yuen**
Still, you're unlikely to think of a way
to resolve things while lurking down here.
**[06:27] Raizo**
You're... right, I suppose.
**[06:32] Raizo**
You know, it's strange.
**[06:35] Raizo**
Just talking with someone makes it clear how
foolish it was to fret so much on my own.
**[06:39] Yuen**
Consider it one of the
many services I offer.
**[06:47] Raizo**
I appreciate your advice.
**[06:48] Yuen**
Have a safe journey.
**[06:51] Raizo**
You can let the people know that
you've disposed of Benkei.
**[07:30] Conspirator A**
Greetings, Kurima-dono!
**[07:32] Raizo**
Are they here to escort me?
**[07:34] Raizo**
That's odd, for Matsumine-sama.
**[07:39] Conspirator A**
I must say, it's a splendid
thing you've done!
**[07:43] Conspirator A**
To slay all of your father-in-law's
men single-handedly...
**[07:49] Raizo**
Regardless of our relationship,
**[07:52] Raizo**
the moment he sullied his
hands in the opium trade,
**[07:55] Raizo**
it simply needed to be done.
**[07:57] Conspirator A**
What a display of loyalty!
**[07:59] Conspirator A**
Matsumine-sama will be thrilled.
**[08:03] Conspirator A**
Now, you need only perform one last duty...
**[08:09] Raizo**
What?
**[08:12] Conspirator A**
Still haven't caught on?
**[08:14] Conspirator A**
I must say, your stupidity truly astounds.
**[08:17] Conspirator C**
Maybe there'd have been some other use for
you if this was the warring states...
**[08:22] Raizo**
Why would you do this?
**[08:24] Conspirator B**
You can ask Hirata-dono about it
when you see him in the afterlife.
**[08:27] Conspirator B**
I'm sure he'll be happy
to give you an earful.
**[08:33] Nio**
Jump for it.
**[08:34] Nio**
If you don't wanna die,
then shut up and jump!
**[08:46] Conspirator A**
Has he gone mad?
**[08:51] Conspirator B**
I wouldn't worry. Either way,
he couldn't have survived.
**[08:54] Conspirator C**
We'll report as much to
Matsumine-sama, then.
**[09:13] Nio**
Just had to dawdle a bit first, huh?
**[09:16] Nio**
If you die, it's not on me.
**[09:18] Nio**
Come on!
**[09:55] Nio**
The samurai's awake.
**[09:59] Raizo**
Did you save me?
**[10:02] Yuen**
As I said, we handle all manner of tasks.
**[10:06] Yuen**
Though, as a day job, I also produce maki-e
gold-lacquered works, as you can see.
**[10:16] Raizo**
What, exactly, are you people?
**[10:19] Yuen**
In a business like this, you learn certain
things about the Nagasaki underworld.
**[10:25] Yuen**
Things someone like you
wouldn't know, at least.
**[10:29] Yuen**
To begin with,
**[10:32] Yuen**
it is true that someone from
the Satsuma clan has been
**[10:36] Yuen**
making secret deals with
English merchants for opium.
**[10:39] Yuen**
Hirata Genshin-dono had been
investigating around Nagasaki
**[10:44] Yuen**
in order to discover the truth.
**[10:46] Raizo**
That's...
**[10:47] Yuen**
Different from what you were told?
**[10:49] Yuen**
Which would indicate that
whoever told you otherwise,
**[10:52] Yuen**
and ordered you to kill Hirata-dono,
is the mastermind behind the opium deal.
**[10:58] Yuen**
The chief financial officer of
Satsuma, Matsumine Jonoshin.
**[11:03] Yuen**
Hirata-dono seemed to have been on the
verge of having the evidence he needed.
**[11:09] Yuen**
I can only imagine how
vexed he must have felt.
**[11:26] Raizo**
Why did you save me?
**[11:29] Yuen**
Would you rather have died?
**[11:32] Raizo**
I was tricked, like a fool, and killed
my fiancée's honorable father!
**[11:38] Raizo**
How can you expect me to
live with this shame?!
**[11:41] Yuen**
And Matsumine maintains his position,
coming out of this unharmed.
**[11:45] Yuen**
That doesn't bother you?
**[11:49] Nio**
Oh, he's ready now.
**[11:52] Yuen**
There's not much you can
do with those injuries.
**[11:55] Yuen**
The truth is, Hirata-dono acquired
our services before his passing...
**[12:03] Yuen**
and, in the event of his untimely death,
**[12:05] Yuen**
wanted to ensure that
we would fulfill his mission.
**[12:11] Yuen**
The layout of Matsumine Jonoshin's estate,
**[12:14] BG Sign**
Merchants of all trades, at your service
**[12:14] Yuen**
a path for infiltrating Satsuma,
**[12:16] Yuen**
guidance through the
Tsurumaru Castle town...
**[12:18] Yuen**
This job requires a collaborator
familiar with local affairs.
**[12:25] Yuen**
Would you be willing to help
us, Kurima Raizo-dono?
**[12:52] Nio**
Hup!
**[13:15] Raizo**
*Yui...*
**[13:21] Raizo**
* I know that this won't make*
* amends for what I've done,*
**[13:26] Raizo**
*but I...*
**[13:29] Neighbor A**
You mean to tell me...
**[13:31] Neighbor B**
Right?
***SIGN*** Mourning
**[13:32] Neighbor A**
Losing her father and her
groom at once like that...
**[13:35] Neighbor A**
And now Yui's all by herself?
**[13:37] Neighbor B**
She is. And she looked absolutely
terrible during the funeral.
**[13:41] Neighbor A**
The poor dear!
**[13:43] Yuen**
I know you're concerned, but if she
learns you're alive at this point...
**[13:47] Raizo**
I know.
**[13:48] Raizo**
As things stand, I couldn't face her anyway.
**[13:55] Raizo**
These are the storehouses.
The stables are here.
**[13:59] Raizo**
The service entrance isn't guarded heavily,
**[14:01] Raizo**
but it's farther away from
the main building...
**[14:11] Yuen**
Don't mind them. Please continue.
**[14:15] Raizo**
Anyway, the main entrance is heavily guarded,
**[14:17] Raizo**
but once you're inside,
there are blind spots you can use.

**[14:20] Raizo**
A small group can sneak in,
taking them by surprise.
**[14:22] Raizo**
That might be the trick to finishing
before causing too much of a commotion.
**[14:27] Yuen**
This seems like the kind of place
that would have a secret exit.
**[14:32] Raizo**
No. Not a concern.
**[14:33] Raizo**
Matsumine trusts his guards completely.
**[14:38] Yuen**
Fair enough.
**[14:40] Yuen**
All the better, really.
**[14:42] Yuen**
We'll finish things tonight.
**[14:46] Yuen**
Kurima-san, you should wait here.
**[14:49] Yuen**
If you were to act recklessly
with those injuries,
**[14:51] Yuen**
it would serve only to warn Matsumine.
**[14:53] Yuen**
Do you understand?
**[15:12] Conspirator A**
The Hirata matter's already
become the talk of the castle.
**[15:17] Conspirator A**
Slain by a deranged son-in-law!
**[15:21] Conspirator C**
And now, Matsumine-sama is secure.
**[15:23] Conspirator C**
Soon, all of Nagasaki will be his...
**[15:25] Matsumine**
All made possible by Kurima Raizo himself!
**[15:29] Matsumine**
It was a fine job he did.
**[15:32] Conspirator A**
I wasn't sure why you involved the Hirata girl's
fiancé, whose only skill was with a sword,
**[15:38] Conspirator A**
but I had no idea you'd
thought so far ahead!
**[15:41] Matsumine**
I'm used to dealing with these
bull-headed warrior types.
**[15:44] Matsumine**
The trick is not to restrain them,
but to allow them to cause of bit of a ruckus.
**[15:47] Conspirator C**
Well said, Matsumine-sama.
**[15:49] Conspirator C**
"Send a bull to slay your enemies," in effect.
**[15:53] Conspirator A**
He and Hirata must be absolutely
stewing in the afterlife!
**[16:05] Conspirator B**
I must say,
**[16:06] Conspirator B**
I've heard talk of how Westerners intend
to bring the Qing to heel via this opium.
**[16:12] Conspirator B**
Will the same happen to Nagasaki?
**[16:15] Matsumine**
Even if that does happen,
it'll suit us fine.
**[16:17] Matsumine**
Whoever rules Nagasaki, even if it's the
English, will require a local governor.
**[16:23] Conspirator A**
Incredible! You've thought that
far ahead, Matsumine-sama?!
**[16:27] Conspirator A**
Please, allow me.
**[16:29] Conspirator A**
Oh, I'm ever so sorry!
**[16:31] Matsumine**
Hey, we're out of sake!
**[16:33] Matsumine**
Why isn't there more yet?
**[16:37] Matsumine**
Unbelievable...
**[16:38] Conspirator C**
Let me go and check.
**[16:56] Teppa**
Well, this wasn't part of the plan.
**[17:02] Conspirator C**
Hey! Is anyone there?
**[17:05] Conspirator C**
Even the lights are out...
**[17:49] Conspirator B**
Who goes there?!
**[17:51] Conspirator A**
Summon the men! Now!
**[18:13] Conspirator B**
Y-You rogue!
**[18:27] Conspirator A**
D-Damn you!
**[18:48] Yuen**
Before the eyes of holy
Saint Mary, full of grace,
**[18:56] Yuen**
for your sins and your misdeeds,
**[19:02] Yuen**
repent.
**[19:18] Soji**
Didn't he say there were no secret passages?
**[19:21] Yuen**
I suppose this means Kurima-san outfoxed us.
**[19:42] Raizo**
Matsumine Jonoshin.
**[19:45] Raizo**
If you intend to explain
yourself, I'm listening.
**[19:52] Raizo**
So be it.
**[20:17] Teppa**
Good grief...
**[20:19] Teppa**
I bet this was his plan from the beginning.
**[20:22] Nio**
You mean we smoked the old
man out of his hole for *his* sake?
**[20:28] Yuen**
So it would seem.
**[20:29] Soji**
Come on, man, this guy
just snatched our target!
**[20:33] Soji**
How are we gonna explain that to the Chapel?
**[20:38] Teppa**
The bell still needs to be rung once the
job's done, regardless of how it's done, right?
**[20:43] Yuen**
That it does.
**[20:45] Yuen**
Nio.
**[20:46] Nio**
Right.
**[20:59] Raizo**
*Yui!*
**[21:00] Raizo**
*I'm such a fool...*
**[21:05] Raizo**
* I didn't realize what Matsumine was*
* doing, and I killed your father.*
**[21:12] Raizo**
*But...*
**[21:15] Raizo**
*I can still make up for it!*
**[21:17] Raizo**
*I've avenged your father.*
**[21:19] Raizo**
*Maybe now...*
**[21:23] Raizo**
*Yui!*
**[21:28] Raizo**
Yui! Where are you?
**[21:31] Raizo**
Yui?!
**[21:43] Raizo**
Yui?
**[21:49] Raizo**
Please, Yui...
**[21:53] Raizo**
I have so much to atone for...
**[21:58] Raizo**
Yui!
**[22:01] Raizo**
Yui!

Oh, uh, I...
**[00:48] Raizo**
Forgive me, Yui-dono.
**[00:53] Hirata**
Come now. The two of you
are going to be married!
**[00:56] Hirata**
You know, Kurima-dono is so diligent
in his training for the sake of our family.
**[01:02] Hirata**
Isn't that right, Raizo?
**[01:05] Raizo**
Yes, sir. I will wield this sword for Yui-dono...
**[01:08] Raizo**
no, for Hirata-sama's house. I swear it.
**[01:10] Yui**
Liar.
**[01:15] Yui**
Father and Raizo-sama are both gone.

**[03:47] Gerald**
In the words of almighty Deus:
**[03:51] Gerald**
"Those who shed the blood of life
shall meet with my revenge."
**[04:02] Gerald**
But in time, the Lord's
children would come to say:
**[04:07] Gerald**
"Holy father Deus does
not mete out punishment,
**[04:11] Gerald**
for He has entrusted
justice to His children."
**[04:15] Gerald**
And so, it became the duty of the
children of men to dispense revenge.
**[04:20] Gerald**
Even if doing so is to take
sins upon our own backs...
**[04:22] Yuen**
And in the spreading of false prophecy,
the fallen world reveals itself.
**[04:29] Gerald**
O Deus, we beg you to forgive our sins.
**[04:34] Gerald**
Thy will be done.
**[04:41] Gerald**
Your latest act of revenge
was splendidly done.
**[04:45] Gerald**
To split both the sin and
the sinner asunder like that
**[04:49] Gerald**
was work befitting the servants of God.
**[04:53] Gerald**
That said...
**[04:54] Gerald**
I was a bit surprised to see that one of your
number has that kind of skill with a sword.
**[05:01] Gerald**
Revenge is a sin intended to be
shouldered by the disciples of Deus.
**[05:06] Gerald**
And should those disciples sin further
by leading others down that path...
**[05:12] Gerald**
I'm certain that Deus's
judgment will await them.
**[05:17] Yuen**
I'm aware.
**[05:19] Yuen**
But who would be so sinful
as to do such a thing?
**[05:24] Gerald**
A good question. What could lead
someone to commit such a grave act?
**[05:29] Gerald**
That said...
**[05:31] Gerald**
Deus sees all from His seat in Heaven.
**[05:35] Gerald**
You would do well to remember this.
**[05:42] Soji**
Yo, where's the rest?
**[05:44] Soji**
C'mon, boss. You know better
than to try and skim off the top.
**[05:48] Yuen**
That's the correct amount.
**[05:50] Yuen**
There are also two bags with
50 mon apiece, one for each of you.
**[05:56] Nio**
That's not right, though.
**[05:58] Nio**
This is one, two, three
pieces of silver, right?
**[06:01] Nio**
Add 50 mon to that...
**[06:03] Soji**
And between me, you,
boss man Usui, the doc...
**[06:08] Yuen**
You're forgetting someone.
**[06:12] Soji**
Wait, you don't mean
that samurai bastard?!
**[06:14] Soji**
He bags our target from the side,
and not only do we let him live,
**[06:17] Soji**
but we share the take
with him? What the hell?!
**[06:20] Nio**
That's right.
**[06:21] Nio**
We oughta kill him before the Chapel finds
out he's the one who killed the Satsuma boss.
**[06:27] Yuen**
The Chapel already knows.
**[06:30] Soji+Nio**
Huh?!
**[06:31] Soji**
So what do we do?!
**[06:34] Soji**
Are we gonna get crucified? Boiled in oil?!
**[06:36] Yuen**
We're going to make sure
all of our team get paid.
**[06:41] Sign**
Merchants of all trades,
**[06:41] Sign**
at your service
**[06:43] Soji**
Wait, don't tell me...
**[06:45] Nio**
Why should we let that guy join us?
Can't we just kill him already?
**[06:50] Soji**
Yeah! I'm with little Nio on this one.
**[06:53] Soji**
We're talking about the kind of samurai
asshole who doesn't just kill comrades,
**[06:56] Soji**
but his *fiancée's dad*
because of a false opium rap.
**[07:01] Soji**
Why don't we just kill him?
**[07:04] Yuen**
Because he was deceived.
**[07:07] Yuen**
Kurima-san believed it was
a lawful order from the daimyo.
**[07:10] Soji**
That kinda excuse wouldn't
even cut it at a gambling den!
**[07:13] Soji**
You kill a bunch of innocent folks, but it's
fine 'cause you can just say "I was tricked"?
**[07:19] Soji**
Sure must be nice being a samurai!
**[07:22] Yuen**
What do you propose, then?
**[07:24] Yuen**
Should we reimburse the Chapel
what we were paid
**[07:26] Yuen**
and let them know we failed
in our revenge mission?
**[07:30] Soji**
Damn it!
**[07:31] Nio**
Where are you going, Soji?
**[07:33] Soji**
I've got betting to do, damn it!
**[07:35] Soji**
When your pay comes up short,
ya gotta make up the loss somehow.
**[07:52] Mana**
So, Doctor, how is my body holding up?
**[07:57] Teppa**
I know I've said it before, but you should
really try to build up your strength.
**[08:02] Teppa**
If you don't, you won't get better,
even if it is possible to.
**[08:05] Teppa**
Whether it's fish or meat, you should
eat your fill of whatever it is you like.
**[08:11] Mana**
So that I can enjoy my
final days in extravagance?
**[08:14] Mana**
Do I have that right?
**[08:15] Teppa**
Oh, come on, now. Stop it.
That kind of thinking doesn't help.
**[08:19] Mana**
You don't need to try and coddle me.
**[08:22] Mana**
Due to the line of work I'm in,
**[08:24] Mana**
I've gotten particularly good
at knowing when men are lying.
**[08:30] Mana**
Besides, I've already had my last meal.
**[08:50] Mana**
There are rumors in the brothels about folks
who will settle your score in exchange
**[08:56] Mana**
for a gold mon with teeth marks on it.
**[08:59] Mana**
Would you happen to know
anything about that, Doctor?
**[09:03] Teppa**
Couldn't really say either way.
**[09:07] Teppa**
But who in the world could you hate
that badly? If you don't mind my asking.
**[09:13] Mana**
A certain waste of a man named Inohachi.
**[09:17] Mana**
If you asked around,
people would tell you he's my husband.
**[09:21] Teppa**
Revenge against your husband?
**[09:25] Teppa**
What's this all about?
**[09:26] Mana**
He deceived me.
**[09:28] Teppa**
Mana-san, please.
**[09:30] Mana**
Oh, what difference does it make?
**[09:39] Mana**
Girls can be so stupid
when we're young, you know?
**[09:44] Mana**
He claimed to be the head clerk for
this big-shot businessman, Tenmokuya.
**[09:47] Mana**
A handsome thing whose words were
all sweet, and I was his plaything.
**[09:57] Mana**
But playtime only lasted
until we were married.
**[10:02] Mana**
He had more than his
fair share of gambling debts.
**[10:06] Mana**
But it wasn't a problem,
because I was his collateral.
**[10:10] Mana**
And when I found out he was in debt
to his own employer, Tenmokuya?
**[10:14] Mana**
I couldn't even bring myself to laugh.
**[10:16] Mana**
It was a scheme between him
and his boss the entire time.
**[10:23] Mana**
They took everything my father, who raised
me on his own, gave me for my marriage...
**[10:28] Mana**
Except what I used to get this.
**[10:32] Mana**
I wasn't even there for him when he died.
Some daughter I turned out to be...
**[10:37] Teppa**
Mana-san!
**[10:42] Mana**
So, Doctor, please...
**[10:45] Mana**
If I'm going to Hell, I don't
want to go alone, you know?
**[10:57] Teppa**
Two targets, then.
**[10:59] Teppa**
Steady as she goes.
**[11:04] Yuen**
How are you finding the lodgings?
Were you able to sleep?
**[11:09] Raizo**
What's this?
**[11:10] Yuen**
Payment for services rendered.
**[11:14] Raizo**
I don't remember helping you
with your lacquer art.
**[11:18] Yuen**
I thought we could discuss
my other line of work.
**[11:23] Raizo**
This "riben-goto" odd jobs work, if I recall?
**[11:24] Sign**
Merchants of all trades, at your service
**[11:27] Yuen**
There's actually another way to read it.
**[11:31] Yuen**
Which would be "revenge."
**[11:33] Raizo**
"Ribenji"?
**[11:36] Yuen**
It's an English word meaning retribution.
**[11:40] Yuen**
If someone has a vendetta
they need taking care of,
**[11:43] Yuen**
they demonstrate this by
leaving bite marks on a gold coin,
**[11:47] Yuen**
and we make it our business to take up
the cause of reprisal in their stead.
**[11:51] Yuen**
This is why we are called "Revengers."
**[12:01] Raizo**
So you're a "ribenji-ya," huh?
**[12:04] Yuen**
Right.
**[12:08] Raizo**
That doesn't sound like
legitimate work to me.
**[12:11] Yuen**
Nor should it.
**[12:13] Yuen**
No matter the justification,
in the end, it's still murder.
**[12:17] Yuen**
But despite that, there are grudges
in this world that must be settled.
**[12:22] Yuen**
Evils in this world that
need to be punished.
**[12:25] Yuen**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[12:27] Raizo**
I'll admit I killed Matsumine for vengeance.
**[12:32] Raizo**
I wouldn't claim it was just.
**[12:34] Raizo**
If anything, it was faith in false justice
that led me to kill my comrades,
**[12:38] Raizo**
and my future father-in-law.
**[12:41] Raizo**
That cannot be forgiven.
**[12:43] Raizo**
But I was the one who did it,
with my own hands.
**[12:47] Raizo**
The idea of taking on some
stranger's vendetta... and for money?
**[12:52] Yuen**
Not everyone in the world is in a position
**[12:55] Yuen**
to settle their own vendettas
by their own hands.
**[12:59] Yuen**
That is why we're here.
**[13:02] Yuen**
Kurima-san, I ask you...
**[13:06] Yuen**
Would you be willing to lend your
sword to those in need of vengeance?
**[13:10] Raizo**
You're asking me to kill... for money?
**[13:17] Yuen**
"The bite of vengeance."
**[13:19] Yuen**
The bitten gold is and isn't
money at the same time.
**[13:23] Yuen**
We use it to gauge the depth of a grudge.
**[13:27] Yuen**
If, after seeing the kind
of mark our clients leave,
**[13:30] Yuen**
you still say our business is
simply a band of hired killers,
**[13:35] Yuen**
there's not much else I can do.
**[13:41] Raizo**
But... I...
**[13:46] Yuen**
Why don't we get some fresh air?
**[14:02] Teppa**
Hm?
**[14:06] Raizo**
Is this... a wake?
**[14:13] Teppa**
You barely sleep or eat.
**[14:16] Teppa**
Keep this up and you're gonna get sick.
**[14:20] Raizo**
If this is a wake, why are there no lights?
**[14:23] Raizo**
Isn't that a bit sad?
**[14:25] Teppa**
Because there's no money for that.
**[14:27] Teppa**
Not anywhere.
**[14:32] Teppa**
Not all red-light districts are like
Maruyama. Most are like Hell on Earth.
**[14:38] Teppa**
People can work there for years with
less than a pittance to show for it.
**[14:42] Teppa**
Mana-san got together
everything she could,
**[14:46] Teppa**
including the cost of her funeral,
and used it to get that gold coin.
**[14:51] Raizo**
Then that coin...
**[14:53] Yuen**
She didn't want incense,
candles, sutras, or a coffin.
**[14:58] Yuen**
She had a vendetta she was willing
to risk a restless death for,
**[15:02] Yuen**
and the result is the
bitten gold she gave us.
**[15:07] Yuen**
She's not the only one who has been deceived
by Inohachi and Tenmokuya, either.
**[15:12] Yuen**
A number of young women
have already lost everything,
**[15:16] Yuen**
and been sold into prostitution.
**[15:20] Raizo**
I need some time to myself.
**[15:26] Yuen**
Discuss the matter with Yui-san.
**[15:30] Yuen**
You can't return to the domain you served.
**[15:33] Yuen**
You can waste away into nothing,
**[15:36] Yuen**
or wield that sword for another purpose.
**[15:41] Yuen**
Ask her what to do.
**[15:44] Raizo**
Thank you.
**[15:50] Sign**
Suijin
**[16:06] Raizo**
Forgive me, Yui.
**[16:24] Inohachi**
Let him know Inohachi's here!
**[16:27] Inohachi**
I know the big man is around today!
**[16:31] Tenmokuya**
Idiot!
**[16:32] Tenmokuya**
I'm the one who's got business with you!
**[16:35] Inohachi**
Took you long enough, man.
**[16:37] Inohachi**
See, the thing is, I lost quite a bit...
**[16:41] Inohachi**
And that Soji bastard was
making noise about how he'd—
**[16:45] Inohachi**
Who the hell is this?!
**[16:46] Tenmokuya**
*Someone* is trying to find you.
**[16:48] Tenmokuya**
He's going to escort you out
of Nagasaki for a while.
**[16:52] Inohachi**
But why?
**[16:53] Tenmokuya**
Because you screwed around too much.
**[16:56] Tenmokuya**
Would it kill you to at least keep your
head down during the mourning period?
**[16:59] Inohachi**
Whose mourning period?
**[17:03] Inohachi**
Hey! Let go of me!
**[17:05] Inohachi**
Where are we going?!
**[17:07] Umajiri**
To the boat.
**[17:08] Inohachi**
What boat?!
**[17:12] Sign**

**[17:26] Raizo**
All this under a local doctor's office?
**[17:31] Teppa**
The tour will have to wait.
First, we have a job to take care of.
**[17:37] Teppa**
Okay, here we go.
**[17:38] Teppa**
The perfect tool for a guy like you.
**[17:41] Teppa**
They will come in handy.
**[17:45] Inohachi**
Damn it. Why am I doing this?
**[17:49] Inohachi**
Is all that muscle just for show?
**[17:51] Umajiri**
I'm your bodyguard.
I can't be distracted with the oar.
**[17:55] Inohachi**
What difference does it make?
Who's gonna attack us on a boat?
**[17:58] Umajiri**
Whoever is after you might have guns.
We can't be sure.
**[18:00] Inohachi**
Guns?!
**[18:03] Umajiri**
Relax. My armor can
block any shot or arrow.
**[18:07] Inohachi**
What difference does it
make if *you'll* be okay?!
**[18:10] Inohachi**
Protect me better, damn it!
**[18:15] Teppa**
About four and a half cho away...
**[18:18] Teppa**
A faint breeze from the northeast.
**[18:20] Teppa**
Well, then...
**[18:22] Teppa**
Better get started.
**[18:42] Teppa**
Four cho and forty-five ken.
**[18:45] Teppa**
Forty-six.
**[18:58] Teppa**
Steady as she goes!
**[19:03] Inohachi**
You were just tryin' to scare me.
I don't see no guns—
**[19:24] Teppa**
Now, let's see if you can
put my gear to good use.
**[19:31] Inohachi**
What the hell was that?!
**[19:45] Inohachi**
Damn it... I should be in the clear now.
**[19:50] Raizo**
I've come for revenge.
**[20:16] Inohachi**
Huh?
**[20:24] Teppa**
Well, looks like I just
gave wings to a tiger.
**[20:34] Prostitute**
What are you...
**[20:35] Tenmokuya**
Look at you. Bloom's long gone.
**[20:38] Tenmokuya**
Why don't you go entertain
some dried-up widower?
**[20:41] Tenmokuya**
I'm Tenmokuya, damn it.
Like I'd settle for someone past their prime.
**[20:46] Nio**
Is something wrong, mister?
**[20:49] Nio**
You look so mad.
**[20:55] Nio**
Wanna play with me?
**[20:57] Tenmokuya**
Oh, you're perfect!
**[20:59] Tenmokuya**
We'll have a good night or two
together. Oh, yes, we will.
**[21:03] Nio**
What should I do, I wonder?
**[21:06] Nio**
If you wanna play, you have to catch me.
**[21:12] Tenmokuya**
Come here!
**[21:15] Tenmokuya**
Wait right there!
I'll take good care of you!
**[21:21] Tenmokuya**
There's no escape now!
**[21:23] Tenmokuya**
Time for me to send you to paradise!
**[21:37] Yuen**
You're the one who's heading to Heaven.
**[21:41] Yuen**
Assuming you beg for forgiveness first.
**[21:51] Yuen**
Before the eyes of holy
Saint Mary, full of grace,
**[21:55] Yuen**
for your sins and your misdeeds,
**[21:58] Yuen**
repent.

Remarkable that it all fits

**[01:43] Raizo**
I'm curious...
**[01:47] Raizo**
What's that?
**[01:49] Nio**
Bad news is what it is.
**[01:51] Raizo**
People live there?
**[01:53] Nio**
It's home to all the people too poor or
with problems too big to live in the town.

Come on.
***SIGN*** Episode 3
**[03:33] Kaoya**
Sakata-sama, I swear! It's some
kind of mistake! I would never—
**[03:37] Sakata**
Quiet down. The evidence is all there.
**[03:40] Nio**
Think it's a fight?

Hey!

Kao-ya
**[03:44] Kaoya**
Sakata-sama...
**[03:45] Subordinate A**
Would you settle down already?
**[03:47] Kaoya**
I'm begging you! Please...
**[03:49] Sakata**
Stay away from me.
**[03:53] Sakata**
We know all about how you've
been smuggling opium,
**[03:58] Sakata**
and dealing it to boot.
**[04:00] Kaoya**
That's crazy! My shop has
thrived for four generations!
**[04:03] Kaoya**
Why would I touch that dreadful opium?
**[04:06] Sakata**
And yet, we have irrefutable evidence.
**[04:10] Subordinate B**
Yes, sir.
**[04:15] Kaoya**
How could you...
**[04:19] Crowd A**
Opium, they said.
**[04:20] Crowd B**
The Kao-ya guy's honest and
devoted to his shop. He'd never...
**[04:24] Sakata**
Look here.
**[04:25] Sakata**
Opium hidden inside
a statue of the Buddha...
**[04:27] Sakata**
Exactly as your wife described.
**[04:31] Kaoya**
My wife?
**[04:32] Kaoya**
This can't be! There has to be some mistake!
**[04:35] Sakata**
Enough of this. Take him away.
**[04:37] Kaoya**
Sakata-sama! What did...
What did my wife say?!
**[04:41] Subordinate A**
Would you pipe down already?
**[04:42] Kaoya**
Sakata-sama! Sakata-sama!
**[04:45] Sakata**
Question him thoroughly.
**[04:46] Crowd C(Woman)**
I heard he got on the
bad side of the trade union.
**[04:49] Crowd D**
Should've kept quiet and paid
off the magistrate's office.
**[04:53] Subordinate D**
What are you people yapping about?!
**[04:56] Crowd A**
Yikes, talk about scary.
**[04:58] Crowd B (Woman)**
Come on, let's go.
**[04:59] Crowd B (Woman)**
Best to let a sleeping Sakata-sama lie.
**[05:04] Raizo**
What happened back there?
**[05:06] Nio**
What? You really didn't get it?
**[05:09] Nio**
That shopkeeper didn't pay them off,
so they made an example of him.
**[05:14] Raizo**
So he's done nothing wrong?
What kind of samurai would do that?
**[05:19] Nio**
You think? Seems pretty nice to me.
**[05:23] Raizo**
How so?
**[05:24] Nio**
Well, if you pay them off,
they leave you alone.
**[05:27] Nio**
A samurai who'd kill his father
without asking any questions
**[05:31] Nio**
just because he was ordered to
is way scarier to me.
**[05:39] Nio**
Come on. Let's go.
**[05:42] Raizo**
Right.
**[05:49] Hana**
Soji? Soji! Are you ever gonna wake up?!
**[05:57] Soji**
Lay off the knocking...
**[05:58] Soji**
Feels like you're doing it on my head.
**[06:05] Soji**
Trash draw.
**[06:07] Soji**
What's the big deal?
**[06:11] Hana**
You stink of booze!
**[06:13] Soji**
It's fine. I won big yesterday.
**[06:16] Soji**
What's up?
**[06:18] Hana**
The other day you said you
were drinking because you lost.
**[06:22] Hana**
You drink if you win, you drink if you lose...
**[06:24] Hana**
Well, Big Drinker Soji, you've got a guest.
**[06:28] Teppa**
Hey, sorry for the intrusion.
**[06:30] Soji**
C'mon, Doc. You can't just
bust in here unannounced.
**[06:34] Hana**
Are you sure you wanna live here?
**[06:36] Hana**
You're a samurai.
Can't you find somewhere nicer?
**[06:40] Raizo**
No, I...
**[06:42] Raizo**
I'm a ronin.
**[06:44] Hana**
Oh, is that right? Well, okay, then.
**[06:49] Hana**
I'm Hana.
**[06:52] Hana**
I live downstairs with my dad
and my two little brothers.
**[06:54] Hana**
Welcome to the house!
**[06:56] Raizo**
Thank you for having me.
**[07:02] Hana**
Hey, it's Nio! And Yuen-san!
**[07:06] Raizo**
Pardon me.
**[07:09] Soji**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell is this?!
**[07:12] Teppa**
Town's booked to capacity all over.
**[07:15] Soji**
You think I don't know that?
**[07:17] Soji**
You think I'd be living with
that noisy brat if I didn't—
**[07:21] Soji**
Wait...
**[07:22] Soji**
You're sticking me with *him*?!
**[07:24] Teppa**
Yeah. If you'd be so kind...
**[07:28] Raizo**
I apologize for the imposition.
**[07:31] Soji**
Oh, hell no!
**[07:33] Soji**
Why should I have to put up
with some damn samurai?
**[07:36] Teppa**
Well, there's the matter
of the rent you're behind on.
**[07:39] Teppa**
Remind me who's been covering
for you in the meantime?
**[07:47] Soji**
Shit!
**[07:51] Yuen**
How'd you find Kurima-san?
**[07:53] Nio**
He's boring. I took him all over and
he was stone-faced the whole time.
**[07:57] Nio**
Why'd you let a guy like that join us?
**[08:00] Nio**
You know I hate samurai.
**[08:03] Yuen**
Kurima-san can't be a samurai anymore.
**[08:07] Yuen**
He'll need you and Soji to help
him find a new way of life.
**[08:13] Nio**
Can a samurai even *be*
anything other than a samurai?
**[08:17] Yuen**
That depends on him, I'd say.
**[08:20] Nio**
Don't dodge the question, Yuen.
**[08:23] Nio**
Can a samurai really stop being a samurai?
**[08:26] Nio**
Can a killer stop being a killer?
**[08:30] Nio**
Can you really change
your way of life like that?
**[08:38] Yuen**
If that were possible...
**[08:40] Yuen**
I doubt you and I would be
having this conversation.
**[08:46] Nio**
Well, that's a relief.
**[08:49] Nio**
Depending on your answer,
I might've had to kill you.
**[08:53] Nio**
But if that's true, what's the point
in doing all this stuff for him?
**[08:58] Yuen**
Even if he ultimately fails,
**[09:01] Yuen**
wouldn't you say there's a big difference
between aspiring to a different way of life,
**[09:05] Yuen**
and dying without ever
having known another way?
**[09:11] Nio**
I'm not sure I follow.
**[09:17] Raizo**
Soji-dono.
**[09:17] Soji**
Shut up! No talking!
**[09:19] Soji**
Listen up! You get that single futon's
worth of space, and that's it!
**[09:24] Soji**
Don't like it? Then haul your ass outta here!
**[09:29] Raizo**
Soji-dono.
**[09:30] Soji**
What?! You got a problem?!
**[09:32] Raizo**
I appreciate your kindness.
**[09:37] Soji**
Can't even humor me by biting back...
**[10:11] Courtesean A**
Isarizawa-san, your guest...
**[10:15] Courtesean A**
He's waiting.
**[10:18] Courtesean B**
You can focus all of
your attention on us later.
**[10:22] Jinkuro**
You know what? You're right.
**[10:25] Jinkuro**
I'll do just that.
**[10:37] Jinkuro**
Sorry for the holdup.
They were all over me, y'know?
**[10:43] Yuen**
It's fine. What can I do for you today?
**[10:46] Jinkuro**
Well, I'm sure you remember the murder
of that Satsuma samurai about a month ago.
**[10:54] Jinkuro**
The maniac went and cut down some
of Satsuma's famously tough guys,
**[10:59] Jinkuro**
and the thought that he might
still be lurking in Nagasaki...
**[11:01] Jinkuro**
Well, let me tell you,
I've been losing sleep over it!
**[11:06] Jinkuro**
Hey.
**[11:07] Jinkuro Agent**
Sir!
**[11:11] Jinkuro Agent**
It is believed that a samurai from Satsuma
named Kurima Raizo is the killer.
**[11:15] Jinkuro Agent**
He was spotted sleeping under
Amigasa Bridge a month ago,
**[11:20] Jinkuro Agent**
but his whereabouts since are unknown.
**[11:24] Jinkuro**
There you have it. Know anything?
**[11:28] Yuen**
I'm not even sure why you would ask me.
**[11:35] Jinkuro**
Is that right?
**[11:40] Jinkuro**
The thing is, it's weird how this
Kurima guy just up and vanished, right?
**[11:46] Jinkuro**
Think the locals might be
helping him to stay hidden?
**[11:50] Yuen**
I wouldn't want to venture a guess.
**[11:58] Jinkuro**
Well, fair enough. If you say you
don't know, then you probably don't.
**[12:04] Jinkuro**
I'm not sure that bastard, Sakata,
would believe you, though.
**[12:08] Yuen**
Why bring him up?
**[12:11] Jinkuro**
Oh, you know how it is.
He's desperate to make a name for himself.
**[12:16] Jinkuro**
No telling what he might do if he
finds out that Usui the maki-e artist
**[12:20] Jinkuro**
was the one who chased
Musashibou out from under his bridge.
**[12:24] Yuen**
It's not very nice of you to
threaten an unremarkable craftsman
**[12:27] Yuen**
like myself in this way, Isarizawa-sama.
**[12:30] Jinkuro**
What do you want from me?
**[12:32] Jinkuro**
Sakata wants my ass so bad,
he's gotten into bed with the trade unions.
**[12:38] Jinkuro**
And if they get involved, it becomes a lot
bigger than some beef between the two of us.
**[12:45] Yuen**
That certainly sounds dangerous.
**[12:48] Jinkuro**
We're not in the magistrate's office.
The walls don't have ears here.
**[12:52] Jinkuro**
So how about we lay it all on the table?
**[12:55] Yuen**
I suppose operating out of the
red-light district instead of a guard post
**[12:58] Yuen**
is how you got the nickname
"The Pajama Police."
**[13:02] Jinkuro**
And you're the only one with the guts
to actually call me that to my face.
**[13:07] Jinkuro**
Don't get me wrong. I do show up
at the office every now and then.
**[13:11] Jinkuro**
Hell, I questioned someone Sakata
dragged in this morning myself.
**[13:17] Jinkuro**
And wouldn't you know it?
**[13:21] Jinkuro**
He gave me this.
**[13:25] Jinkuro**
Can you believe it? Cops can't
accept things like that. It'd be bribery!
**[13:31] Jinkuro**
That said...
**[13:34] Jinkuro**
I figure you'll make sure
it gets where it needs to go.
**[13:43] Yuen**
I understand.
**[14:13] Nio**
Ugh, there's even more than before.
**[14:18] Nio**
Hey, isn't that her?
**[14:21] Teppa**
You're the Kao-ya owner's wife, right?
**[14:24] Wife**
Did you... bring me some medicine?
**[14:29] Teppa**
Your husband has been
arrested for dealing opium.
**[14:35] Wife**
You're the ones who told me
**[14:38] Wife**
to hide the opium in the Buddha statue.
**[14:42] Wife**
You said you'd give me
the medicine if I did.
**[14:48] Addict Woman**
You work for Sakata-sama, don't you?
**[14:52] Addict Woman**
Please give me some, too.
**[14:55] Addict Woman**
I did what he asked...
**[15:08] Soji**
Of all the dirty, rotten cheats...
**[15:11] Soji**
Taking credit for busting people
for the opium *you're* dealing?
**[15:15] Teppa**
It'd almost be funny if it
wasn't actually happening.
**[15:19] Soji**
And now that pleasure quarter dweller,
Isarizawa-sama, drops this guy in our laps
**[15:23] Soji**
after letting him run free this whole time.
**[15:26] Soji**
Must be a lot of real talented folks
**[15:29] Soji**
in the magistrate's office, if they
can't even clean up their own messes.
**[15:34] Nio**
I don't like him, either. He's got pervy eyes.
**[15:38] Nio**
Be careful around him, Yuen.
**[15:41] Yuen**
Regardless, we have bitten gold here.
**[15:44] Yuen**
That means someone must
undertake this revenge.
**[15:48] Raizo**
In that case...
**[15:49] Soji**
Tell you what, Boss Usui.
How about you let me take this one on?
**[15:54] Soji**
You're coming too, rookie.
**[15:58] Soji**
Rotten or not, these guys are still samurai.
**[16:01] Soji**
I figure you'll know what to expect.
**[16:04] Soji**
Or would you rather not kill your own?
**[16:08] Raizo**
No, it's fine. Sakata and I have both
strayed from what a samurai is meant to be.
**[16:27] Nio**
Five.
**[16:29] Soji**
There you have it.
**[16:31] Soji**
Probably an easy gig for a
big-shot Satsuma samurai, right?
**[16:37] Soji**
Oh, c'mon. Say something, would you?
**[16:40] Soji**
Man, the thought of having to stare at your
grim mug every day from now on kills me.
**[16:46] Raizo**
I can leave the lodgings if you wish me to go.
**[16:49] Soji**
Don't be stupid. You think
I wanna get chewed out by the doc?
**[16:54] Soji**
Besides, I ain't big on charity, even after
I've been robbed blind on a bad bet.
**[16:59] Raizo**
What else can be done, then?
**[17:01] Soji**
Isn't it obvious? We settle
things the old-fashioned way.
**[17:05] Soji**
We'll gamble the room on tonight's job.
**[17:09] Soji**
Whoever gets the most kills keeps the room.
**[17:14] Soji**
How about it? Collecting heads
is a samurai pastime, ain't it?
**[17:19] Raizo**
If that's how you want to handle things.
**[17:23] Soji**
Then it's settled.
**[17:28] Soji**
Sadly for you, I've got a great draw.
**[17:30] Soji**
That means luck's on my side.
**[17:39] Soji**
That oughta light enough of a fire
under him to make this easy.
**[17:43] Soji**
* Everyone knows these Satsuma guys*
* are like charging bulls.*
**[17:47] Soji**
* He's bound to charge right in,*
* screaming at the top of his lungs again,*
**[17:51] Soji**
* and he'll nail the first guy, but then*
* get totally surrounded by the rest,*
**[17:57] Soji**
* turning him into the barrel that'll*
* make shooting these fish easy.*
**[18:03] Soji**
* Something this easy is more like*
* a nap in the park than a walk.*
**[18:19] Soji**
Wait, what?!
**[18:21] Soji**
Since when did he have
slick moves like that?!
**[18:32] Subordinate C**
Hey, what is it?
**[18:34] Subordinate B**
I could've sworn I just...
**[18:40] Subordinate B**
Hey—
**[18:48] Soji**
That's two for me.
**[18:53] Soji**
Damn, we're even again.
**[19:05] Sakata**
Hey, where have you all gone?
**[19:08] Sakata**
Answer me.
**[19:13] Sakata**
An intruder?
**[19:20] Sakata**
You're no mere bandit.
**[19:23] Sakata**
Sent by someone, most likely.
**[19:56] Soji**
Looks like I win.
**[19:58] Raizo**
Indeed.
**[20:05] Soji**
I'll admit, it was closer
than I thought it'd be.
**[20:09] Soji**
But a bet's a bet. Grab your stuff and—
**[20:15] Soji**
You...
**[20:27] Soji**
Damn Nio, that little twerp.
Didn't mention a sixth guy.
**[20:31] Raizo**
We each have three kills now.
**[20:35] Soji**
You really need me to say it?
It's a draw, okay? A draw.
**[20:38] Raizo**
Then will we still be sharing the room?
**[20:41] Soji**
Yeah, we will. A bet's a bet.
**[20:44] Soji**
No backing out and no do-overs.
What's done is done. I said as much!
**[20:50] Soji**
Damn, what is it with you?
**[20:52] Raizo**
No, I was just thinking...
**[20:54] Raizo**
You seem more like a samurai than I do.
**[20:57] Soji**
Don't you dare. I'm nothing like you.
**[21:00] Soji**
Man, got my hopes up for nothing.
**[21:03] Soji**
Talk about a bad draw.
**[21:19] Teppa**
What are you doing out here with no light?
**[21:22] Yuen**
Oh, nothing in particular.
**[21:24] Yuen**
What brings you here, Doctor?
**[21:26] Teppa**
Soji and Kurima-kun have
completed the revenge job.
**[21:30] Teppa**
I figured you should know.
**[21:33] Yuen**
I appreciate it.
**[21:36] Yuen**
I hope the two of them will get along.
**[21:40] Teppa**
Do you really think that?
**[21:44] Yuen**
What do you mean?
**[21:47] Teppa**
Kurima Raizo. If he gets any more involved,
it could spell real trouble.
**[21:53] Teppa**
You realize that, right?
**[21:57] Yuen**
Yes.
**[22:00] Yuen**
I do.

**[00:01] Jirobei**
Hana! He hit me!
**[00:06] Hana**
Cut that out, Tarokichi!
You're the big brother, you know.
**[00:09] Tarokichi**
I-I only hit Jirobei 'cause he stole from me!
**[00:12] Hana**
No excuses!
**[00:13] Soji**
Every damn day with this...
**[00:16] Soji**
Would you knock it off, Hana?!
It's too early for this shit!
**[00:19] Hana**
Sleepyhead Soji!
**[00:21] Hana**
It's afternoon already.
**[00:28] Soji**
Who does she think she's talking to?
***SIGN*** Episode 4
**[02:07] Hana**
Come on, Tarokichi. You've gotta
hold the bowl while you eat.
**[02:12] Hana**
Jirobei, this is how you hold chopsticks.
**[02:12] Soji**
I tell you, those brats might be
obnoxious day in and day out,
**[02:15] Hana**
Dad, sit down and join us already!
**[02:15] Soji**
but these pickled veggies do just
about enough to make up for it.
**[02:30] Soji**
Damn it all.
**[02:33] Soji**
That bastard *must* have been cheating.
**[02:36] Soji**
Next time, I'll...
**[02:46] Jirobei**
Hana! He hit me again!
**[02:51] Hana**
Hey, Tarokichi! What did I tell you?!
**[02:53] Tarokichi**
But he—
**[02:55] Soji**
Would you shut the hell up?!
**[02:59] Soji**
Do they even realize what it's like getting
woken up with shrieking every morning?
**[03:09] Soji**
How about a little
consideration, am I right?
**[03:15] Soji**
Would it kill you to give
me a "Yeah, that's right"?!
**[03:19] Raizo**
Were you talking to me?
**[03:22] Soji**
I don't even wanna imagine how cramped
it'd be with anyone else in here!
**[03:26] Raizo**
Forgive me. I was trying to
ensure I did not bother you.
**[03:30] Soji**
And you thought never saying
a word was the way to do that?
**[03:34] Soji**
My room ain't a prison, pal!
**[03:36] Soji**
C'mon, man. It's a nice day, y'know?
**[03:40] Soji**
Don't samurai ever go out
for nice meals or whatever?
**[03:45] Raizo**
It is more a matter of not having any money.
**[03:49] Soji**
What about your cut from the Satsuma kill?
**[03:52] Raizo**
I spent it on this screen.
**[03:55] Soji**
You mean you didn't just find
that garbage on the street?
**[04:00] Soji**
Damn, man. You can't even shop right, can you?
**[04:03] Soji**
Honestly...
**[04:08] Soji**
Okay! We're going out.
**[04:10] Raizo**
I just told you I have no money.
**[04:13] Soji**
That's why we're going. I'll help you
figure out how to earn some cash.
**[04:18] Soji**
You never can tell when the
next bitten gold is gonna show up.
**[04:23] Soji**
Get a load of this.
**[04:27] Soji**
You're sitting on a surplus of luck.
**[04:36] Nio**
You were gonna help him get a job
when you don't even have one?
**[04:40] Soji**
Oh, shut up! I decided to pay
my way through life by gambling!
**[04:45] Nio**
So, how'd it go?
Were you right about all that luck?
**[04:48] Soji**
I'll be honest, first thing I did was
try to pawn him off on the doc...
**[04:54] (Flashback) Teppa**
Oh, you've twisted it in a bad way.
It's quite a mess, to be honest.
**[04:59] (Flashback) Teppa**
I can take care of it, though.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Patient**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[05:02] (Flashback) Patient**
D-Doctor, can't you fix my back
without touching it so much?
**[05:06] (Flashback) Patient**
Ain't there, like, medicine or something?
**[05:09] (Flashback) Teppa**
Drugs aren't magic potions, my friend.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Teppa**
I'll be as gentle as I can.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Teppa**
So relax.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Patient**
Don't! Stop!
**[05:21] (Flashback) Patient**
Ow! It...
**[05:23] (Flashback) Patient**
doesn't hurt?
**[05:25] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Hard at work as usual, Dr. Teppa?
**[05:29] (Flashback) Teppa**
Well, if it isn't Tomi-san!
**[05:31] (Flashback) Teppa**
What brings you by today?
**[05:34] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
I wanted to thank you for looking after
my pa when he caught that cold.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
There's some fresh mandarins
that just came in, too.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Teppa**
Just a little more...
**[05:44] (Flashback) Teppa**
I appreciate you always being so generous!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Well, you're about the
only doctor in Nagasaki
**[05:52] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
who'd accept this kinda
payment for medicine.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Teppa**
So how have you been lately?
**[05:58] (Flashback) Teppa**
Anything interesting going on?
**[06:01] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Let's see...
**[06:03] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Well, you know Sakata, that samurai
from the magistrate's office who died?
**[06:08] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
They said it was a sudden illness,
but it turns out...
**[06:12] (Flashback) Raizo**
What is the matter?
Answer the doctor's question.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Oh, my! A samurai!
**[06:18] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Pardon me!
**[06:20] (Flashback) Raizo**
There is no need for that.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Raizo**
Right now, I am simply
an assistant at this clinic.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
An assistant?
**[06:28] (Flashback) Raizo**
Correct. Now, what is the matter?
Answer the doctor's—
**[06:31] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
It wasn't really that important!
**[06:34] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
Oh, I just remembered I have
something I need to go and do.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Raizo**
Very well. I will see you out.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Farmer's Wife**
No, that's quite all right!
**[06:45] (Flashback) Raizo**
She seemed to be in a rush. I wonder why.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Teppa**
Listen, Kurima-kun...
**[06:53] Nio**
How dumb are you, Soji?
**[06:55] Nio**
Did you really think a killer samurai
was cut out for being a doctor's assistant?
**[06:59] Soji**
Aw, shut up! He can read and write,
so I figured he'd be of some use!
**[07:08] Yuen**
Kurima-san lived alone,
but I doubt he was high-ranking enough
**[07:12] Yuen**
for his stipend from the
domain to cover his expenses.
**[07:15] Yuen**
Didn't he have some
other line of work before?
**[07:17] Soji**
Well, y'know, I figured a hard-up samurai
had to have some way of making money...
**[07:24] (Flashback) Raizo**
I would wake up and practice with my sword.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Soji**
And after that?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Raizo**
Depending on the day, I would offer
sword instruction at castles or manors.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Raizo**
Then, when I came home,
I would practice some more.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Raizo**
Other than that...
**[07:38] (Flashback) Raizo**
I normally went to sleep at dusk so I
could be up in time for morning practice.
**[07:44] Nio**
Swinging his sword around all day long
like it's the only thing he knows how to do!
**[07:48] Soji**
I'm telling you, it's not funny!
**[07:52] Nio**
Why don't you teach him
how to gamble, Soji?
**[07:56] Soji**
Don't be stupid. You think he'd be in a
situation like this if he knew how to bluff?
**[08:00] Soji**
They'd squeeze him for everything
he's worth in a single night.
**[08:06] Nio**
I guess I could find him some clients.
**[08:09] Soji**
Huh? You? Clients?
**[08:29] Soji**
Hey there, sweetheart.
**[08:39] Soji**
Aw, damn it! You got me imagining it!
**[08:44] Soji**
Nio!
**[08:46] Soji**
Get back here!
**[08:47] Nio**
I don't think so!
**[08:48] Yuen**
What did Kurima-san end up doing, then?
**[08:51] Nio**
Hup!
**[08:52] Nio**
Eh?
**[08:53] Nio**
Catch!
**[08:53] Soji**
Ow!
**[08:55] Soji**
Well...
**[08:57] (Flashback) Soji**
How about selling the boss's
housewarming gift, then?
**[09:01] (Flashback) Soji**
That'd cover you for a while.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Raizo**
A single painted bowl?
**[09:06] (Flashback) Raizo**
How could that be worth so much?
**[09:09] (Flashback) Soji**
Buddy, that particular bowl
could get you a whole stack.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Raizo**
Are Yuen-dono's works really that prized?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Soji**
Well, it figures that a hick samurai
from Satsuma wouldn't know, but...
**[09:21] (Flashback) Soji**
It's that whole "wabi-sabi" thing.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Soji**
Usui Yuen the maki-e artist is a
big name among the refined crowd.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Soji**
People from as far away as Kyo and Edo,
and even from the other side of the ocean,
**[09:35] (Flashback) Soji**
have an eye for his stuff.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Raizo**
Is that so?
**[09:39] (Flashback) Soji**
Did you think he was doing
this revenger gig for the pay?
**[09:43] (Flashback) Soji**
Underestimate Usui-ya at your peril.
**[09:45] (Flashback) Raizo**
No, that was not my intention.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Soji**
So how about it?
**[09:51] (Flashback) Soji**
This thing'd probably be better off
with someone who appreciates its value.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Raizo**
It *is* probably too good for me...
**[09:59] (Flashback) Soji**
So what're you gonna do?
**[10:03] (Flashback) Raizo**
Yuen-dono and Teppa-dono...
**[10:06] (Flashback) Raizo**
Their "odd jobs" are a secret
from the wider world, correct?
**[10:09] (Flashback) Soji**
Huh? Well, of course they are.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Soji**
Wait, you didn't tell anybody, did you?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Raizo**
No. But I still find myself struggling
with the concept of revenge.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Raizo**
Can I truly carry myself the way they do?
**[10:26] (Flashback) Raizo**
Working to serve people
with a smile during the day,
**[10:28] (Flashback) Raizo**
while hardening my heart to
settle unpaid vendettas at night.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Raizo**
Can someone like me really be like that?
**[10:38] (Flashback) Soji**
Look, man. Maybe worry about that sorta
thing *after* you've lined up some work.
**[10:42] Sign**
Merchants of all trades, at your service
**[10:43] Soji**
And there you have it.
**[10:45] Soji**
He's probably still kneeling
in that room as we speak.
**[10:50] Nio**
Samurai are so stupid!
**[10:53] Nio**
He's worried about the fact that
he's worrying? Where will it end?
**[10:56] Soji**
It ain't funny. I busted my hump for his sake
and I've got nothing to show for it.
**[11:02] Soji**
You gotta talk some sense into him, boss.
**[11:05] Yuen**
Yes, well...
**[11:08] Yuen**
It'd probably be easier for him to simply fret
until he reaches the point of ambivalence.
**[11:13] Soji**
Hm? What do you mean by that?
**[11:19] Yuen**
Oh, nothing.
**[11:21] Yuen**
I'm going to visit the Chapel.
**[11:23] Yuen**
Please keep checking on Kurima-san.
**[11:28] Soji**
Man, I got stuck with one hell of a bad card.
**[11:34] Soji**
Or maybe he's just a jinx?
**[11:44] Gerald**
The son of God said:
**[11:48] Gerald**
"Drink ye all of it, for this is
my blood of the new testament,
**[11:54] Gerald**
which is shed for the many
for the remission of sins."
**[12:02] Gerald**
Thy will be done.
**[12:10] Gerald**
Even with the offering of bitten gold,
**[12:13] Gerald**
I cannot think of many revengers who would
stride into the lair of the bakufu's servants
**[12:18] Gerald**
with the ferocity that
your group in Nagasaki did.
**[12:35] Gerald**
That said, this act of
revenge remains unfulfilled.
**[12:41] Gerald**
Judgment must fall upon all sinners equally.
**[12:45] Gerald**
Which is why, today,
I will forgive only your sins.
**[12:50] Yuen**
Then there are still others
who must meet with revenge?
**[12:54] Gerald**
Where did Sakata's opium come from?
**[12:57] Gerald**
He was not so foolish as to
receive it directly from the English.
**[13:02] Gerald**
There was a middleman.
**[13:05] Gerald**
In exchange for providing
the opium, he gained influence
**[13:09] Gerald**
by having Sakata undermine his
more-established business rivals,
**[13:13] Gerald**
until he was in a position
to enter the den of avarice
**[13:15] Gerald**
known as the Nagasaki Trade Union.
**[13:20] Gerald**
His operation is called Azumi-ya.
**[13:25] Gerald**
You hadn't heard about any of this?
**[13:28] Gerald**
And why would you have?
**[13:30] Gerald**
You see, the Pajama Police,
that servant of the bakufu,
**[13:33] Gerald**
has a heart devoid of both love and faith.
**[13:36] Gerald**
Only bloodthirsty ambition
and self-preservation remain.
**[13:39] Gerald**
He sought to remove the
nuisance Sakata proved to be,
**[13:41] Gerald**
without a care for the
suffering or cries of the people.
**[13:45] Gerald**
These sinners must be punished.
**[13:49] Gerald**
If the martyrs who died in the
name of their faith at Shimabara
**[13:52] Gerald**
had had gold which they could
have left their mark upon,
**[13:55] Gerald**
how deep do you suppose
their grudges would have been?
**[14:01] Yuen**
Was it not the son of God
who said: "Love thy enemy"?
**[14:06] Gerald**
These heathens are akin to beasts.
Such love would fall on deaf ears.
**[14:12] Gerald**
It is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle,
**[14:16] Gerald**
than for these sinners to
awaken to the truth of love.
**[14:24] Yuen**
Thy will be done.
**[14:30] Soji**
So this Azumi-ya guy went
into hiding after Sakata died,
**[14:36] Soji**
and the only time anyone's seen him since
has been at his mistress's place?
**[14:40] Nio**
That works out great.
**[14:42] Nio**
Since they've both gotta die,
we can kill two birds with one stone.
**[14:48] Raizo**
The mistress is a target
for revenge, as well?
**[14:52] Teppa**
The Kao-ya owner's wife was one thing,
since she helped him run the shop...
**[14:56] Teppa**
But the daughter of Tenman-do was a
perfect example of a sheltered rich girl.
**[15:02] Teppa**
Who do you think got her hooked on drugs?
**[15:07] Raizo**
You mean the mistress...
**[15:09] Teppa**
The girl let her guard down around
another woman and bought the stories
**[15:13] Teppa**
about it being foreign-made
medicine for relaxation,
**[15:16] Teppa**
and before long, it was already too late.
**[15:20] Teppa**
So the mistress needs to pay the price for
destroying someone's life for her own gain.
**[15:26] Yuen**
I've made arrangements with the owner
of the art book store across the street.
**[15:30] Yuen**
We'll be able to watch her place day and night,
and wait for Azumi-ya to show himself.
**[15:35] Soji**
Hey, in that case...
**[15:37] Yuen**
Are you volunteering, Soji?
**[15:39] Soji**
Nah, not me.
**[15:42] Soji**
This one's perfect for him!
**[15:44] Soji**
If ya need someone to sit
and not make a peep all day,
**[15:46] Soji**
I'm pretty sure you won't find anyone better
for the job in the whole of Nagasaki.
**[15:52] Nio**
You don't think a scary-faced samurai sitting
around all day would draw suspicion?
**[15:57] Nio**
I bet you just don't want him
hanging around at your place.
**[16:00] Soji**
It ain't like that!
**[16:01] Soji**
Look, man. You can't keep up this
grim samurai act all the damn time.
**[16:06] Soji**
Go learn how to be a shopkeep.
**[16:09] Soji**
But don't get too serious about it.
Keep it casual, so it looks natural.
**[16:13] Soji**
You got that?
**[16:17] Raizo**
Understood.
**[16:19] Raizo**
I will fully dedicate myself to being casual.
**[16:24] Nio**
Is this really gonna work?
**[16:26] Sign**
Ganso-ya
**[17:20] Nio**
Soji.
**[17:23] Soji**
Nio?!
**[17:25] Soji**
This ain't what you think it is.
I just wanna make sure he...
**[18:19] Azumiya Mistress**
What's got you so wound up?
**[18:22] Azumiya**
They still haven't caught
whoever killed Sakata-sama.
**[18:25] Azumiya**
If you hadn't asked me to come by,
I wouldn't have even taken the risk.
**[18:30] Azumiya Mistress**
Funny how you didn't
mention that before we did it.
**[18:33] Azumiya Mistress**
I'm not exactly in the clear here myself.
**[18:36] Azumiya Mistress**
Which is why you'd better pay
exactly what you owe.
**[18:42] Azumiya Mistress**
Seriously? Wind chimes are a summer thing.
**[18:47] Azumiya**
Hang on!
**[18:48] Azumiya**
It could be whoever killed Sakata-sama!
**[18:50] Azumiya Mistress**
You're such a worrywart.
**[18:54] Azumiya Mistress**
There's no one out there.
**[19:05] Azumiya Mistress**
A kite?
**[19:36] Azumiya Mistress**
Someone!
**[19:38] Azumiya Mistress**
Anyone!
**[19:42] Azumiya Mistress**
You've got to help me! It was an arrow,
but it was as big as a harpoon! My man was...
**[19:47] Yuen**
I see. That does sound like a miserable end.
**[19:51] Yuen**
But when you weigh it against the
crime of ruining people's lives with opium,
**[19:56] Yuen**
it seems like just deserts, wouldn't you say?
**[19:58] Azumiya Mistress**
What...
**[20:00] Azumiya Mistress**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[20:04] Azumiya Mistress**
I have no idea what you're—
**[20:20] Yuen**
Before the eyes of holy
Saint Mary, full of grace,
**[20:24] Yuen**
for your sins and your misdeeds,
**[20:30] Yuen**
repent.
**[20:40] Sign**
Ganso-ya
**[20:41] Yuen**
How did you enjoy the
Mount Unzen hot springs, sir?
**[20:44] Ganso-ya Owner**
It was even better than the rumors said!
Feels like I added ten years to my life!
**[20:49] Ganso-ya Owner**
Your recommendations
never fail, Usui-dono.
**[20:53] Ganso-ya Owner**
And you were kind enough to
watch the shop while I was away.
**[20:59] Raizo**
This seems like a bit much.
**[21:02] Ganso-Ya Owner**
Oh, pish posh.
**[21:04] Ganso-Ya Owner**
You tidied the shop up good.
It's like it's a whole new place.
**[21:10] Nio**
No need to be modest. You did a good job.
**[21:15] Raizo**
I see.
**[21:16] Raizo**
Was I sufficiently casual?
**[21:19] Ganso-Ya Owner**
These are...
**[21:22] Ganso-Ya Owner**
Wait, did you do these?
**[21:24] Raizo**
Oh, um, I apologize. I was told
to approach this casually, so...
**[21:29] Ganso-Ya Owner**
Have you studied Western art, sir?
**[21:32] Raizo**
No, never.
**[21:36] Ganso-Ya Owner**
Still, this is quite unique.
**[21:38] Ganso-Ya Owner**
Depicting things as they are...
**[21:40] Ganso-Ya Owner**
It's not a good fit for ukiyo-e prints,
but maybe as a hanging scroll?
**[21:44] Nio**
Huh. I've never seen
a picture like this before.
**[21:47] Nio**
I bet there are people who'd want it.
**[21:50] Ganso-ya owner**
What do you say?
I'd like to show these to a publisher.
**[21:55] Raizo**
That's... I-I doubt my art is really...
**[21:57] Nio**
Aw, come on. It sounds like fun.

**[00:28] Hana**
Weasel! Badger!
**[00:33] Hana**
Where are you?!
***SIGN*** Episode 5
**[02:09] Doan**
Tonight, you will bear witness
to a menagerie of freaks,
**[02:12] Doan**
gathered from distant Ryukyu, Ezo,
and even China and the lands beyond!
**[02:12] Sign**
The Doan
Company
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Mighty Man
of Stone
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Fire-Breathing
Daruma
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Terrifying
Snake-Woman
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Uncanny
Knife-Thrower
**[02:17] Doan**
A fire-breathing daruma
who lights up the night sky,
**[02:20] Doan**
a man of stone with unrivaled strength,
**[02:22] Doan**
and of course, a dreadful snake-woman
and her terrifying brood!
**[02:56] Badger**
Big brother Weasel...
Where are we? Where'd Hana go?
**[03:01] Weasel**
Come on, quit crying.
**[03:02] Weasel**
She said to meet up at the Jizo statue
if we got separated, remember?
**[03:08] Doan**
Well, now. Where did you two come from?
**[03:15] Doan**
I must say, it seems some absolute
treasures have found their way to me.
**[03:21] Doan**
Welcome to the Doan Company.
**[03:33] Soji**
All right. Time for a round to celebrate.
**[03:36] Soji**
Wait, no, no. If I bet big on
Nio's kite tomorrow, I'll score huge.
**[03:41] Soji**
Where the hell's the sense
in blowing cash before then?
**[03:49] Soji**
Man, I'm still not buying it.
**[03:50] Soji**
How do hands that have only ever held blades
to kill know how to paint, of all things?
**[03:58] Raizo**
When I face someone, sword in hand...
At times, I find that time seems to stop.
**[04:04] Raizo**
Much like in these pictures, really.
**[04:08] Raizo**
And I have realized this same moment
comes when I am holding a brush.
**[04:12] Raizo**
Then, I need only depict what I see.
**[04:15] Soji**
You mean to tell me you paint
people the same way you kill them?
**[04:20] Raizo**
No. Once you achieve that state,
what you actually do is of little concern.
**[04:25] Raizo**
"The sword and zen meditation are as one."
I always thought the saying pretentious,
**[04:30] Raizo**
but maybe it is close to the truth after all.
**[04:33] Soji**
Well, shit, I like that even less.
**[04:36] Soji**
If you're able to pull that off
with a brush instead of a sword,
**[04:40] Soji**
why exactly did all the people
you killed have to die?
**[04:46] Soji**
What? You mad?
**[04:48] Raizo**
No. But I sincerely believe you have
a better head on your shoulders than I.
**[04:55] Soji**
Man, shut up! Go sharpen that
butcher's knife of yours or something!
**[05:03] Soji**
You better not start thinking
you can do what the boss does.
**[05:06] Soji**
By the time they first dipped him in a bath,
**[05:09] Soji**
he was already the kinda monster who could
paint, fold gold, and kill as good as anyone.
**[05:15] Raizo**
Is something the matter?
**[05:16] Soji**
Huh? No, man, why?
**[05:19] Raizo**
Forgive me. I did not mean you.
**[05:25] Hana**
My friends... Weasel and Badger...
**[05:30] Hana**
They're missing.
**[05:34] Soji**
I'm always tellin' Hana not to hang out with
folk from the mountains, but she never listens.
**[05:40] Raizo**
This is quite the hill.
**[05:43] Raizo**
If the missing siblings lived up here,
how could Hana have met them?
**[05:48] Soji**
She tries to act grown-up,
but she's still a little brat.
**[05:52] Soji**
And sometimes, she misses her mom.
**[05:55] Raizo**
I see. She was visiting her grave.
**[06:01] Soji**
Aw, damn it. The kite battle's today.
**[06:06] Raizo**
That thing?
**[06:07] Soji**
That's right. Li'l Nio better do a good job.
**[06:11] Soji**
I'm betting my whole fortune on you!
**[06:14] Soji**
Bring home the big one again this year!
**[06:19] Nio**
There we go! There we go!
**[06:26] Nio**
Which one should I cut next?
**[06:28] Villager 1**
Don't even try it, little boy!
**[06:30] Villager 2**
I'll show you, little girl!
**[06:31] Nio**
Boy? Girl? Which is it gonna be?
**[06:35] Villager 1**
Little girl!
**[06:35] Villager 2**
Little boy!
**[06:40] Villager 1**
Hang on! Stay away from me!
**[06:42] Villager 2**
No, stay away!
**[06:45] Villager 2**
Damn it!
**[06:46] Villager 2**
I said stay away!
**[06:47] Doan**
Usui-san.
**[06:50] Doan**
It's wonderful to see you doing so well.
**[06:52] Doan**
And looking even more beautiful than before.
**[06:57] Yuen**
I don't think we know each other
well enough to celebrate meeting again.
**[07:05] Doan**
Then let me get straight to the point.
**[07:08] Doan**
I ask that you let me take back my monster.
**[07:12] Doan**
An angel with the taint of darkness.
**[07:16] Doan**
Our separation has been a folly that
I, Doan, have regretted ever since!
**[07:19] Yuen**
If you mean Nio, I don't appreciate
you using the term "monster."
**[07:24] Yuen**
And it isn't a matter of money.
**[07:27] Yuen**
Nio is a human being.
**[07:31] Doan**
Surely you jest!
**[07:33] Doan**
All of the monstrosities in the
Doan Company pale by comparison.
**[07:37] Doan**
You're talking about an abomination
that reigns over all others.
**[07:41] Yuen**
Please leave. We have
nothing else to discuss.
**[07:44] Doan**
Do you truly think a demon would be
pleased at being defanged, declawed,
**[07:48] Doan**
and dressed as a human?
**[07:50] Doan**
Usui-sama, I am asking you
to set the beast free.
**[07:55] Yuen**
Leave.
**[07:57] Nio**
I wonder what I should get
Soji to buy me when I win.
**[08:00] Nio**
Hey, Yuen!
**[08:10] Villagers**
Hurray!
**[08:19] Raizo**
The two siblings are not the
only ones who are missing.
**[08:22] Raizo**
It seems a number of children with
remarkable appearances have disappeared.
**[08:28] Yuen**
No one cares how many children
from the mountains go missing.
**[08:33] Yuen**
That's simply how it is in Nagasaki.
**[08:41] Yuen**
That said, it was likely
the Doan Company's doing.
**[08:45] Raizo**
I heard they kidnap unfortunate children
and make them part of their show.
**[08:50] Yuen**
In the past, they were a simple
company of traveling performers.
**[08:54] Yuen**
But at some point, their chief, Doan,
began collecting children who were different,
**[08:59] Yuen**
with scant regard for anything else.
**[09:02] Raizo**
You know a lot about this.
**[09:04] Yuen**
Nio used to be among their number.
**[09:07] Yuen**
I brought that child into my care,
because I wanted to do something.
**[09:11] Yuen**
But it seems Doan regrets letting Nio go.
**[09:15] Yuen**
He visited me this afternoon.
**[09:17] Raizo**
And this Doan—
**[09:18] Soji**
Whoa, whoa, hold on a second!
**[09:21] Soji**
You mean to tell me Nio
lost because of that guy?!
**[09:25] Yuen**
It must have come as a shock, yes.
**[09:28] Soji**
That don't cut it, man!
I lost everything I had on that bet!
**[09:32] Soji**
And where the hell is Nio now?
**[09:34] Yuen**
In hiding for the time being,
just to be on the safe side.
**[10:11] Badger**
Let go!
**[10:12] Weasel**
G-G-Get off! Put us down!
**[10:40] Nio**
Doan.
**[10:46] Doan**
Nio.
**[10:53] Doan**
My beloved beast. Why are you here?
**[10:58] Nio**
You wanted to make me yours, right?
**[11:02] Doan**
Yes! I'll never let you go again!
**[11:05] Doan**
You belong only to me.
**[11:10] Nio**
In that case, how much are you willing to pay?
**[11:20] Attraction A**
Give me my doll back.
**[11:22] Attraction B**
Mommy... Mommy!
**[11:26] Snake Woman**
Come on, no more crying. I've got food.
**[11:29] Attraction C**
Gimme!
**[11:31] Attraction misc**
I miss my mommy!
**[11:31] Snake Woman**
Hang on, I've got yours right here. Just a sec.
**[11:35] Snake Woman**
Here you go.
**[11:39] Attraction Misc**
Give it back.
**[11:41] Weasel**
Cut it out already! Put Badger down!
**[11:46] Snake Woman**
Hey!
**[11:48] Snake Woman**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[11:55] Snake Woman**
Eat up and try to stay quiet.
**[11:57] Snake Woman**
If you don't wanna end up getting
slugged like me, you should do as they say.
**[12:07] Badger**
What's gonna happen to us?
**[12:13] Nio**
Well, if you learn some tricks,
life might not be so bad.
**[12:17] Badger**
Who are you?
**[12:19] Nio**
I mean, it's better than
living in the mountains.
**[12:23] Nio**
You get to eat every day
and sleep under a roof.
**[12:27] Badger**
I wanna go home.
I bet Hana's looking for us.
**[12:32] Weasel**
Yeah. No way are we staying here.
**[12:35] Nio**
Oh, is that right?
**[12:49] Soji**
Hell yeah! Nicely done, Nio!
**[12:51] Soji**
I might not starve now!
**[12:54] Raizo**
So the target for revenge
is the Doan Company.
**[12:57] Raizo**
And the coin was bitten by
the twins Hana is searching for?
**[13:01] Raizo**
This works out perfectly.
**[13:04] Teppa**
How exactly did some kids from
the mountains get a gold coin?
**[13:09] Teppa**
And how did you end up receiving it?
**[13:11] Nio**
Does it matter?
**[13:13] Nio**
I was on my way back from saying hi to Doan.
**[13:17] Nio**
I came across it by chance. Honest.
**[13:20] Yuen**
I asked you to stay away from Doan.
**[13:22] Nio**
Oh, did you?
**[13:24] Teppa**
Well, this all seems a little too convenient.
**[13:27] Soji**
Whoa, excuse me, but when did we start
questioning where the coins come from?
**[13:32] Soji**
This is bitten gold, same as any other.
**[13:34] Soji**
And now that it's in our hands,
**[13:37] Soji**
ain't it our job as revengers to
get to work, no questions asked?
**[13:40] Soji**
Or are you gonna tell me that every
other time, all those cases were legit?
**[13:48] Teppa**
Well, you've got a point there.
**[13:51] Teppa**
Once the gold bears the mark of a grudge,
we have no choice but to act.
**[13:56] Nio**
And there you have it.
Isn't this great, Yuen?
**[14:00] Nio**
Don't give me that scary look.
You wanted him dead, too, right?
**[14:06] Nio**
Oh, but Doan's mine, okay?
**[14:09] Nio**
Since I'm the one who
brought the revenge in.
**[14:12] Nio**
I can have that, can't I?
**[14:20] Nio**
Thanks for getting this for me so quickly.
**[14:23] Nio**
I promised Doan I'd be back tonight.
**[14:30] Nio**
It's too late, y'know.
**[14:32] Nio**
If you wanted to keep me from going,
you should've killed him first.
**[14:37] Nio**
You could've done it without
anyone catching on, right?
**[14:42] Yuen**
It's not a question of whether anyone knows.
**[14:45] Yuen**
I have already strayed from God's path.
**[14:47] Yuen**
I adhere to a code because it's
the last way I can stay faithful.
**[14:56] Nio**
I don't get this stuff
about religion and codes.
**[15:02] Nio**
* But I do get that we can't kill*
* without a coin, because Yuen says so.*
**[15:07] Nio**
*But we've got a coin now, so it's fine, right?*
**[15:15] Soji**
How's it looking? Nio said
everything should be set.
**[15:19] Soji**
You think we're gonna find
that Doan guy snoozing?
**[15:24] Raizo**
If he is the villain we have been
told he is, I doubt he fully trusts Nio.
**[15:28] Soji**
I hear that.
**[15:30] Soji**
See? And here they are.
**[15:33] Soji**
Okay, since we're the decoys,
let's make this flashy...
**[15:40] Soji**
I didn't mean literally!
**[15:47] Soji**
Damn it.
**[15:49] Soji**
Hey, samurai! You get the fat fire freak!
**[16:02] Teppa**
Seems you knew we were coming.
**[16:07] Teppa**
It's been a while, but...
**[16:10] Teppa**
Guess it's time for a test of strength.
**[16:23] Soji**
Bastard!
**[16:27] Soji**
Asshole.
**[16:37] Raizo**
If this keeps up...
**[16:39] Soji**
He really lit a fire under us.
**[16:42] Soji**
Take the whole deck, then!
**[16:53] Knife thrower**
Damn you!
**[17:03] Knife thrower**
Get your fat ass off me! You're in the way!
**[17:13] Soji**
Well, *someone* sure owes *someone*.
**[17:15] Raizo**
I do not know which of us you mean.
**[17:24] Teppa**
Steady as she goes!
**[17:33] Teppa**
Honestly...
**[17:35] Teppa**
See what happens when you play with fire?
**[17:39] Snake Woman**
Somebody! Get the keys, please!
**[17:42] Snake Woman**
The kids will burn to death otherwise!
**[17:48] Snake Woman**
Get out of here quick, boys!
**[17:51] Snake Woman**
Help the kids who can't walk, you hear?
**[17:56] Nio**
That's right. I want your eyes on me.
**[18:00] Doan**
My precious abomination...
**[18:03] Nio**
You wanted me to be
yours and only yours, right?
**[18:14] Doan**
Yes. I knew.
**[18:21] Nio**
That's right. If you want to make sure
I belong to you alone, this is how.
**[18:47] Doan**
I can't.
**[18:49] Doan**
I can't bring myself... to destroy you.
**[18:53] Nio**
Okay.
**[18:54] Nio**
In that case, I guess I'll have
to make you mine, Doan.
**[19:03] Doan**
Yes. From the very beginning,
this was meant to be.
**[19:10] Doan**
You exquisite creature.
**[19:12] Doan**
At long last, I can become yours.
**[19:18] Nio**
You've been waiting for this for a while, huh?
**[19:21] Nio**
Now I'll love you, Doan.
**[19:43] Hana**
Hey! Quit running!
**[20:19] Nio**
This cake is expensive. What gives, Soji?
**[20:21] Nio**
It must have cost most
of your take from the job.
**[20:26] Soji**
You said the other day that
you wanted to eat your fill of it.
**[20:31] Soji**
I guess I'd say... I'm just glad Hana's
not worried sick anymore, all right?
**[20:36] Nio**
But then there was no point!
**[20:40] Nio**
I got those kids to bite the gold
'cause you said you were going broke.
**[20:46] Nio**
I didn't wanna hear you
whining about the kite battle.
**[20:50] Nio**
If you weren't gonna keep the money,
I shouldn't have bothered killing Doan.
**[20:53] Nio**
And those kids would've probably been
better off there than back in the mountains.
**[20:57] Soji**
What the hell? You mean to
tell me you set up the whole thing?
**[21:01] Nio**
Why are you giving me that look?
**[21:03] Nio**
You're the one who said one piece of
bitten gold is the same as any other.
**[21:15] Teppa**
Nio asked me something the other day.
**[21:17] Teppa**
Whether living in a town
where I can smell the sea
**[21:21] Teppa**
made me miss my old days as a scoundrel.
**[21:25] Yuen**
What did you say?
**[21:27] Teppa**
Same thing I said to you.
**[21:29] Teppa**
I take these kinds of jobs to keep
that side of myself in check.
**[21:35] Yuen**
I doubt Nio understood what you meant.
**[21:38] Teppa**
Well, that's human nature.
**[21:41] Teppa**
Even if it only amounts to an excuse,
we try to justify the things we do.
**[21:46] Teppa**
Except for Nio, who doesn't feel the need.
**[21:52] Yuen**
Even if that is the case...
**[21:56] Yuen**
I still want Nio to live like a human being.

**[00:03] Kariki-ya owner**
I'm really not sure what to say.
**[00:06] Raizo**
Does it not suffice?
**[00:08] Kariki-ya owner**
No, the exact opposite.
**[00:11] Kariki-ya owner**
A publisher recently ordered an
illustration for a hanging scroll,
**[00:16] Kariki-ya owner**
and I'd like you to use these to paint one.
**[00:21] Raizo**
I am grateful for the chance,
**[00:23] Raizo**
but I feel as though my art would not suit that.
**[00:27] Soji**
Yeah, man. His stuff looks like it's about to
jump off the paper. It's downright creepy.
**[00:32] Kariki-ya owner**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[00:34] Kariki-ya owner**
Your works are so remarkable, they make
me wonder if I ended up in this business
**[00:38] Kariki-ya owner**
for the purpose of showing them to the world.
**[00:43] Kariki-ya owner**
These hands are a gift from the Buddha.
**[00:47] Kariki-ya owner**
Please take great care of them.
**[02:23] Merchant**
This is truly splendid work.
**[02:26] Merchant**
Come to think of it, the artist
everyone has been talking about...
***SIGN*** Episode 6
**[02:30] Merchant**
You were the one who introduced him
to the art dealer at Kariki-ya, no?
**[02:35] Merchant**
I've heard he's got a rather
otherworldly art style.
**[02:38] Yuen**
I wouldn't dare take credit for that.
It was simply a series of coincidences.
**[02:44] Merchant**
Humble as always, Usui-sama.
**[03:01] Nio**
What's with the serious look?
**[03:03] Yuen**
I'm actually about to head over
to the pleasure quarter.
**[03:07] Nio**
He called you in again?
**[03:10] Nio**
Hasn't that been happening a lot?
**[03:13] Raizo**
You look displeased.
**[03:15] Soji**
I was kinda hoping he'd whack that snooty nose
of yours down to size and kick you out.
**[03:20] Raizo**
I thought you would be happy.
**[03:22] Soji**
Why the hell should I be happy for you?
**[03:25] Raizo**
Well, if I manage to secure a livelihood,
**[03:29] Raizo**
I will no longer need to impose on you.
**[03:32] Soji**
Idiot!
**[03:34] Soji**
The thing about gamblers is we don't
count our money until it's in our hands.
**[03:47] Soji**
Don't kill them.
**[03:49] Soji**
Damn.
**[03:51] Soji**
I'm just saying, you'd better not
go counting your chickens before...
**[03:55] Soji**
they've hatched!
**[04:12] Soji**
Well, hell.
**[04:13] Soji**
You get a little praise for your art,
and you've already gone soft?
**[04:21] Soji**
Well, if isn't Han-Cho Kumo
and Dice-Slinger Yasu.
**[04:24] Soji**
What the hell made you pull this stunt?
**[04:26] Gambler A**
We weren't trying to kill you!
**[04:28] Gambler B**
Some guys said they had
business with your ronin buddy.
**[04:33] Soji**
What're you saying?
**[04:35] Soji**
Did the guys who hired you wanna make shochu
out of the Satsuma sweet potato samurai?
**[04:40] Gambler A**
W-We don't know, man!
We just did what they paid us for!
**[04:44] Gambler A**
Here, look! Take all of it if you want!
**[04:48] Soji**
Don't give me that shit!
**[04:49] Soji**
Like hell I'm gonna buy a pair
of gamblers folding *that* easy!
**[04:52] Raizo**
They are not lying.
**[04:56] Raizo**
Go.
**[04:58] Gambler A**
W-We're real sorry!
**[05:02] Soji**
Anything come to mind?
**[05:05] Soji**
Probably one of those "too many
grudges to narrow it down" deals.
**[05:10] Soji**
Damn it all.
**[05:12] Soji**
Don't go forgetting your meal ticket, man.
**[05:15] Soji**
You really must be a killer to the core.
**[05:40] Usui**
On the matter of Sakata-sama,
**[05:42] Usui**
I don't know how to express
my condolences, Isarizawa-sama.
**[05:46] Jinkuro**
Tell me about it.
**[05:47] Jinkuro**
The owner of Azumi-ya, who was meant
to handle his funeral, went and died, too.
**[05:51] Jinkuro**
Thanks to that, I've been busy as hell.
**[05:54] Jinkuro**
Makes me wonder if there's
a nasty disease going around.
**[05:56] Usui**
The owner of Azumi-ya?
**[05:59] Usui**
I hadn't heard about that.
**[06:01] Jinkuro**
I'd honestly rather be out drinking
to honor Sakata's memory,
**[06:06] Jinkuro**
but business calls, y'know?
**[06:09] Usui**
What do you mean?
**[06:11] Jinkuro**
This Benkei wannabe from
Satsuma I asked you about...
**[06:14] Jinkuro**
Find out anything about him?
**[06:16] Usui**
Nothing yet, I'm afraid.
**[06:18] Jinkuro**
I'm begging you, man.
**[06:20] Jinkuro**
'Cause it turns out the folks in Chinatown
are trying to track him down now.
**[06:26] Usui**
Chinatown?
**[06:27] Jinkuro**
Yep. Seriously, the headaches never end.
**[06:30] Jinkuro**
If I let 'em snatch Hirata Genshin's
killer out from under my nose,
**[06:35] Jinkuro**
I don't know what I'm gonna tell
my bosses at the magistrate.
**[06:38] Jinkuro**
They'll want me to do this!
**[06:41] Jinkuro**
And if that does happen,
**[06:42] Jinkuro**
I imagine whoever's been sheltering
Mr. Satsuma will go down with me.
**[06:48] Usui**
That sounds like a dreadful situation.
**[06:50] Usui**
But what would the residents of
Chinatown want with this man?
**[06:53] Jinkuro**
Couldn't say.
**[06:55] Jinkuro**
Maybe they got a craving for
fried Satsuma sweet potatoes.
**[06:59] Jinkuro**
But there is the question of the missing
product Hirata Genshin was investigating.
**[07:03] Jinkuro**
I could see that being of interest,
especially if they were involved.
**[07:08] Usui**
You think they're connected to
the opium circulating in Nagasaki?
**[07:11] Jinkuro**
I'm just saying it's a possibility.
**[07:14] Jinkuro**
If I could actually go take a look
for myself, it'd be easy to figure out,
**[07:19] Jinkuro**
but considering where we're talking about...
**[07:21] Jinkuro**
If a magistrate waltzes into Chinatown,
the union's gonna raise a stink about it.
**[07:27] Usui**
The Nagasaki Trade Union?
**[07:29] Jinkuro**
You got it.
**[07:30] Jinkuro**
Imagine the magistrate and the union feuding
'cause of some sweet potato samurai...
**[07:34] Jinkuro**
Even for a joke, it's too bizarre.
**[07:36] Jinkuro**
So I'd be real grateful if someone with
sharp ears could maybe go have a listen.
**[07:43] Jinkuro**
Know anyone who fits the bill?
**[07:46] Usui**
That's a tall order...
**[07:49] Usui**
But I'll see what I can do.
**[07:51] Jinkuro**
Well, try and be quick about it, yeah?
**[07:55] Jinkuro**
Though I hate that all I can do
**[07:57] Jinkuro**
while I wait is hope our Satsuma
sweet potato stays hidden.
**[08:03] Jinkuro**
Wish I could take my mind off it somehow.
**[08:06] Jinkuro**
Oh, I know.
**[08:08] Jinkuro**
I heard you found some artist
whose work is out of this world.
**[08:14] Jinkuro**
Next time you drop by, why not
bring me one of his paintings, too?
**[08:20] Usui**
Of course.
**[08:23] sign**
Chinatown Nagasaki
**[08:23] Drugstore Owner**
I'll send someone to deliver your order later.
Why don't you join me for tea?
**[08:28] Drugstore Owner**
It's medicinal.
**[08:30] Teppa**
I really appreciate it.
**[08:32] Teppa**
Nagasaki businesses have real trouble
getting their hands on Dutch goods.
**[08:37] Drugstore Owner**
The English have apparently forced the
Dutch out of both Ceylon and Jakarta.
**[08:43] Drugstore Owner**
It might be even harder to get your next order.
**[08:48] Teppa**
I'm curious.
**[08:49] Teppa**
I've heard the folks around here have
been looking for a samurai from Satsuma.
**[08:54] Teppa**
What's that about?
**[08:56] Teppa**
If there's anything I can do to help—
**[09:05] Drugstore Owner**
Teppa-san. If you wish to keep discussing that,
**[09:07] Drugstore Owner**
I'm afraid I can't do business
with you ever again.
**[09:11] Teppa**
Sure. Forget I said anything.
**[09:14] Teppa**
I ought to be moving along, anyway.
**[09:30] Teppa**
Well, that was a hair-raising experience.
**[09:33] Teppa**
But the folks in Chinatown
are definitely serious about it.
**[09:36] Raizo**
And you think they may have
been conspiring with Matsumine?
**[09:39] Yuen**
That's just Isarizawa's theory.
**[09:42] Yuen**
But if it's right, it would explain
why they're so panicked.
**[09:46] Soji**
Considering their business partner
suddenly disappeared...
**[09:49] Soji**
And you're their only lead.
**[09:53] Soji**
Hey! Where are you going?
**[09:56] Raizo**
If Matsumine's people are looking for me,
I will save them the trouble.
**[10:01] Soji**
Haven't you learned anything?
We don't even know if that's the case yet!
**[10:05] Soji**
You can't just kill them all and go,
"Whoops, my bad," if you're wrong!
**[10:09] Soji**
Regardless of the outcome, meeting with
them is the fastest way to learn the truth.
**[10:12] Yuen**
Wait a moment.
**[10:14] Yuen**
If they were open to
discussing this reasonably,
**[10:16] Yuen**
I doubt they would've tried to kidnap you.
**[10:18] Raizo**
And?
**[10:20] Soji**
"And?" Man...
**[10:21] Soji**
There's no guarantee you'll even
make it back in one piece, asshole!
**[10:25] Raizo**
And I am asking why that matters.
**[10:28] Raizo**
You see...
**[10:29] Raizo**
I killed my future father-in-law,
and drove my fiancée to kill herself.
**[10:35] Raizo**
What sense does it make for someone
like that to consider his own life precious?
**[10:42] Yuen**
You're certain you want to do this?
**[10:44] Raizo**
It is what it is.
**[10:46] Raizo**
My foolishness caused this situation.
**[10:50] Raizo**
It is best that I put an end to it.
**[10:57] Soji**
What are we gonna do about that idiot?
**[11:00] Nio**
Nothing, maybe?
**[11:02] Nio**
It's not like it's any of our business.
**[11:05] Nio**
Who cares if he dies?
**[11:06] Soji**
That ain't gonna cut it here,
and you know it.
**[11:09] Nio**
What's this?
**[11:10] Nio**
Is Soji, of all people, gonna talk
about brotherhood and friendship?
**[11:14] Soji**
Don't be stupid. That bastard...
**[11:17] Soji**
His death is gonna be a bad one, regardless
of whether it comes sooner or later.
**[11:20] Soji**
But didn't the Pajama Police
basically say we're on the hook for him?
**[11:26] Teppa**
Indeed we are. And if this blows up,
**[11:30] Teppa**
there's a good chance we'll be blamed for
the whole thing, with nowhere left to turn.
**[11:35] Nio**
So why'd you let him go?
**[11:38] Nio**
We could have jumped him
and tied him up or something!
**[11:41] Yuen**
Why is Chinatown after Kurima-san?
**[11:45] Yuen**
If nothing else, Isarizawa
needs us to find out why.
**[11:50] Yuen**
You can follow him, can't you, Nio?
**[11:54] Nio**
What a pain!
**[11:56] Nio**
Ugh, we never should've saved
that guy in the first place.
**[12:00] Yuen**
We absolutely needed his help in order
to carry out the revenge on Matsumine.
**[12:05] Teppa**
Enough opium for Chinatown to get involved...
**[12:08] Teppa**
I really don't want to imagine what'd happen
if that made its way into Nagasaki.
**[12:15] Soji**
Well, there you have it.
If one of us goes down, we all do,
**[12:19] Soji**
and since he's already in trouble,
we might as well do something crazy.
**[12:22] Soji**
So if you don't wanna get
nailed by the Pajama Police,
**[12:25] Soji**
you run along, li'l Nio.
**[12:28] Soji**
What are you making
that smug face for, Soji?
**[12:31] Soji**
Don't blame me if I can't catch up in time.
**[12:33] Soji**
You'd better come up with a plan
for what happens if I can't.
**[12:37] Teppa**
Good point.
**[12:39] Teppa**
We'll need to do just that.
**[12:52] Sign**
Chinatown Nagasaki
**[12:54] Chinese 1**
Hey, isn't that the guy?
**[12:57] Chinese 2**
That guy?
**[12:58] Chinese 3**
Yeah, that's the one.
**[12:59] Chinese 4**
He seriously came here alone?
**[12:59] Drugstore Owner**
Don't worry about it. Leave him for Master Liu.
**[13:03] Chinese 5**
What does he think he's doing?
**[13:05] Chinese 6**
Get the women and kids to clear out.
**[13:10] Minion B**
He's actually pretty good.
**[13:12] Liu**
I didn't think you'd actually
come here on your own.
**[13:15] Raizo**
I heard you were looking for me.
**[13:18] Raizo**
I would like to know why.
**[13:40] Liu**
Take him away.
**[13:59] Raizo**
What is this about?
**[14:01] Raizo**
Why were you looking for me?
**[14:03] Liu**
So you killed your comrades out of greed,
**[14:06] Liu**
and with nowhere to turn, you were
brazen enough to come to us for help.
**[14:10] Liu**
If I believed that, it would've
made this so much simpler.
**[14:14] Liu**
But your eyes aren't the eyes
of a greedy self-serving pig,
**[14:18] Liu**
nor of a frenzied tiger that
tears apart everything it sees.
**[14:22] Liu**
They're eyes that believe in something.
So who gave you the order?
**[14:27] Liu**
Out of respect for those eyes,
I'll let you choose.
**[14:32] Liu**
The right?
**[14:34] Liu**
Or the left?
**[14:39] Minion B**
Master Liu.
**[14:41] Minion B**
Shishido-sama from the Nagasaki
Trade Union is calling for you.
**[14:44] Liu**
At a time like this?
**[14:47] Liu**
Hurt him however you please.
**[14:48] Minion A**
Yes, sir!
**[15:24] Nio**
All right. That's bait for the minnows.
**[15:31] Chinese Sailor 1**
Over in that direction! By the prow!
**[15:39] Chinese Sailor 3**
We're taking on water!
**[15:41] Chinese Sailor 5**
Plug it now!
**[15:53] Raizo**
Who exactly are you people?
**[15:57] Minion A**
I need to teach you some manners before the master returns.
**[16:03] Minion A**
Cool your head.
**[16:10] Chinese 1**
Damn it. How are we gonna explain this to Master Liu?
**[16:13] Soji**
Don't get so worked up, pal.
**[16:15] Soji**
Care to drink under the moon with me?
**[16:17] Chinese 1**
Who are you?!
**[16:18] Soji**
Yeah, I don't understand.
Any clue what he said, boss?
**[16:34] Soji**
You're a lucky guy.
**[16:38] Soji**
We don't kill without a coin, see?
**[16:47] Soji**
Can't let our faces be seen.
**[16:48] Soji**
Can't leave any evidence.
**[16:51] Soji**
And we're not even getting paid.
**[16:53] Soji**
This samurai is a huge pain in the ass.
**[16:56] Yuen**
I was surprised you agreed to
come along in spite of all that.
**[17:00] Yuen**
He hasn't actually grown on you, has he?
**[17:04] Soji**
I'd rather work for free than
get nailed by the cops. That's all.
**[17:08] Soji**
I'll have to satisfy myself with seeing how
badly they worked the samurai bastard over.
**[17:15] Minion B**
You are friends of the samurai?
**[17:17] Soji**
How many times do I gotta say no to that?
**[17:19] Yuen**
Go on ahead.
**[17:30] Minion A**
Ready to talk now?
**[17:33] Raizo**
I am the one who killed Matsumine.
**[17:37] Minion A**
We know that!
**[17:39] Minion A**
Where are the goods?!
**[17:41] Minion A**
Where did you hide them?
Who'd you give them to?
**[17:44] Minion A**
There was too much there
for one man to manage alone!
**[17:47] Raizo**
The goods? You mean what
Matsumine was dealing?
**[17:50] Minion A**
Still playing dumb, huh?!
**[18:01] Minion A**
You must be cold. Let me warm you up.
**[18:12] Soji**
Bastard!
**[18:19] Minion A**
Who are you?!
**[18:20] Soji**
I don't have time for this!
**[18:46] Soji**
Hey, you alive?
**[18:50] Soji**
Come on, samurai! Say something!
**[18:53] Soji**
Raizo?!
**[18:56] Raizo**
What are you doing here?
**[19:01] Raizo**
Well, y'know...
**[19:03] Raizo**
Figured I'd finally get to see your
snooty nose whacked down to size.
**[19:08] Raizo**
My nose appears to be unharmed.
**[19:10] Soji**
Shut up!
**[19:11] Soji**
H-Hey!
**[19:57] Guest**
I'll examine the cup.
**[20:02] Guest**
What do you suppose that is?
**[20:07] Liu**
We drink tea here leisurely
while things fall apart.
**[20:15] Liu**
My people's welfare is
supposed to be guaranteed
**[20:17] Liu**
by your people in the
Nagasaki Trade Union.
**[20:20] Shishido**
A question: since when does a boat out
at sea count as part of your neighborhood?
**[20:27] Shishido**
If you had spoken to us beforehand,
this would've been dealt with.
**[20:32] Liu**
"Nagasaki is a town of businessmen."
**[20:35] Liu**
"And the Nagasaki Trade Union, who oversee
the businesses, are the true power."
**[20:39] Liu**
"The magistrate is nothing to fear."
You were the one who told me this.
**[20:44] Liu**
And yet, my boat has been raided,
and the man we spoke of has been taken.
**[20:49] Shishido**
The way this was executed...
**[20:51] Shishido**
It was far too fast to be that
hedonist's outfit, the Pajama Police.
**[20:55] Liu**
Then who?
**[20:57] Shishido**
While we are businessmen,
**[21:00] Shishido**
we do not deal in the lives of men.
**[21:03] Shishido**
However, here in Nagasaki,
**[21:06] Shishido**
there is a group of outlaws who will
undertake any dirty task for a price.
**[21:11] Shishido**
They cause us quite a bit of trouble.
**[21:16] Shishido**
They're known as the ribenji-ya.
**[21:22] Liu**
Revenger...
**[21:27] Soji**
So did you figure anything out?
**[21:30] Raizo**
They were not working with Matsumine.
**[21:34] Yuen**
Isarizawa's theory was wrong?
**[21:36] Yuen**
Then why did they kidnap you?
**[21:39] Raizo**
Matsumine had already collected his cargo.
**[21:43] Teppa**
Then where is it?
**[21:47] Raizo**
But they seemed to think that I knew.
**[21:52] Raizo**
It is an obscene amount of opium, purchased
by the chief financial officer of Satsuma.
**[21:58] Raizo**
And...
**[22:00] Raizo**
It is hidden somewhere in Nagasaki.

**[00:17] Raizo**
Yui.
**[00:20] Raizo**
Wait, Yui.
**[00:27] Raizo**
Yui!
**[00:30] Raizo**
F-Father...
**[00:34] Raizo**
Yui!
**[00:48] Raizo**
I thought killing Matsumine
would be the end of it.
**[00:54] Raizo**
How could I have been so foolish?

**[02:40] Tarokichi**
So this is when you...
**[02:42] Jirobei**
Got it!
**[02:43] Jirobei**
Koi-koi!
**[02:45] Soji**
Hey, you know your stuff!
**[02:48] Hana**
Hey now, hanafuda is against the law.
**[02:51] Soji**
Aw, it's fine. It's all in good fun.
**[02:54] Soji**
That's right!
**[02:54] Soji**
It's good fun!
**[02:56] Hana**
Fine. Just don't blame me
if you end up a mess like Soji.
**[03:02] Hana**
Hey...
**[03:03] Hana**
Did you get in a fight with Raizo-san?
**[03:06] Soji**
Huh?
**[03:07] Soji**
All the damn time. Why?
**[03:08] Hana**
Well, he never comes downstairs anymore.
**[03:13] Soji**
Oh, he's actually been kinda busy.
**[03:16] Soji**
Just give him some space.
**[03:23] Soji**
That dumbass.
**[03:50] Seiku**
What are we doing in a nunnery at this hour?
**[03:52] Monk B**
Oh, just another aspect of our training.
**[03:55] Keigyoku**
Venerable sirs.
**[03:59] Keigyoku**
I hope you will honor us with
your prayers again tonight.
**[04:15] Seiku**
Why are these women here?
**[04:18] Monk B**
Look closer, fool.
**[04:23] Seiku**
They're male prostitutes?
**[04:26] Monk B**
Indeed they are.
**[04:28] Monk B**
Which means we would not be
committing the sin of lying with a woman.
**[04:31] Seiku**
That's...
**[04:32] Keigyoku**
These are not impure women,
**[04:35] Keigyoku**
but guides who will lead you to enlightenment
via the works of the god of bliss.
**[04:43] Keigyoku**
I hope you find it a joyful experience.
**[04:46] Monk A**
This is your first time, right, Seiku?
**[04:49] Monk A**
You may have the first pick.
**[04:51] Seiku**
You want me to choose?
**[04:55] Monk B**
Bless you! Bless you!
**[05:01] Seiku**
This smell... It can't be...
**[05:05] Seiku**
Opium?
**[05:13] Seiku**
I have no desire to do this.
**[05:16] Ichinojo**
How cruel of you.
**[05:17] Ichinojo**
My name is Ichinojo, and I may only be a
lowly prostitute, but I can still be shamed.
**[05:24] Seiku**
From your bearing and way with words,
I would say you are from a home of some repute.
**[05:29] Seiku**
Why sully yourself with opium?
**[05:32] Seiku**
When restricted to modest meals,
your senses become sharper as a result.
**[05:39] Seiku**
So you are from a samurai family.
**[05:46] Ichinojo**
Those witches are always listening.
**[05:49] Ichinojo**
If they hear you, you'll end up just like me.
**[05:53] Seiku**
What do you mean?
**[05:56] Ichinojo**
You're being too loud.
**[06:10] Keigyoku**
And what of our young guest?
**[06:14] Nun A**
Learning of the enlightenment of pleasure
at the hands of Ichinojo, Keigyoku-sama.
**[06:19] Nun B**
What wonderful news. High-minded
moralists like him always fall the hardest.
**[06:24] Nun C**
Now, stop that! What do you mean by "fall"?
**[06:28] Keigyoku**
Indeed. All we are doing is guiding the
lost to the true joy of enlightenment.
**[06:34] Nun B**
Please forgive me.
**[06:36] Nun B**
Though I must say, it would be a
shame if that boy remained in robes.
**[06:41] Nun C**
Now that *is* a wonderful idea!
**[06:43] Nun C**
In a beautiful kimono, with his hair
regrown, he could be quite fetching.
**[06:47] Nun A**
We may have made a
divine connection tonight!
**[07:00] Seiku**
You were assigned the honorable duty
of traveling to Nagasaki,
**[07:04] Seiku**
but after being poisoned by opium, you are
now used as an outlet for men's passions.
**[07:09] Seiku**
It is so cruel.
**[07:12] Ichinojo**
My family in Edo believes I am dead.
**[07:16] Ichinojo**
Do you have any relatives?
**[07:19] Seiku**
No.
**[07:20] Ichinojo**
I have a younger brother.
**[07:23] Ichinojo**
He'll do a wonderful job as head of the house.
That's the only saving grace in all this.
**[07:28] Seiku**
But what about you?
**[07:30] Ichinojo**
If I could just bite my
vendetta into a gold coin—
**[07:33] Seiku**
No!
**[07:35] Seiku**
Stacking sin atop sin will do you no good!
**[07:37] Ichinojo**
But what else can I do?
**[07:40] Seiku**
Join a temple.
**[07:43] Seiku**
No matter what has happened to you,
the Buddha will accept you.
**[07:47] Ichinojo**
How can I after all this?
**[07:52] Seiku**
There has to be a way.
**[07:56] Ichinojo**
Seiku-sama...
**[08:21] Keigyoku**
Oh, my. Is there something wrong
with your ceremonial medicine?
**[08:25] Ichinojo**
No, not at all.
**[08:30] Keigyoku**
Even after applying powder and lipstick,
men truly are terrible liars.
**[08:37] Keigyoku**
Did that monk put
strange ideas in your head?
**[08:40] Ichinojo**
No. He was very kind to me.
**[08:44] Keigyoku**
I hear the monk known as Seiku
**[08:45] Keigyoku**
lost his family in a pandemic
and entered the temple as a result.
**[08:49] Keigyoku**
Had he lived, his younger brother
would likely be around your age now.
**[08:54] Ichinojo**
Seiku-sama...
**[08:57] Keigyoku**
How pitiful it is for him to
be haunted by such shadows.
**[09:01] Keigyoku**
You must bring him salvation.
**[09:05] Ichinojo**
What are you...
**[09:08] Keigyoku**
There are more ways to take the
medicine than simply smoking it.
**[09:21] Underling A**
Master Liu.
**[09:23] Liu**
Come in.
**[09:27] Underling A**
This Hoenji temple is definitely the place.
**[09:44] Seiku**
Is that you, Ichinojo?
**[09:50] Seiku**
I'm sorry. I still don't know what to do.
**[09:56] Seiku**
Ichinojo?
**[10:01] Seiku**
Ichinojo...
**[10:22] Seiku**
Ichinojo! Ichinojo!
**[10:25] Seiku**
Ichinojo!
**[10:29] Seiku**
Ichinojo!
**[10:37] Mother**
Chobo! Chobo! Chobo!
**[10:43] Farmer**
Mister monk, sir.
**[10:45] Farmer**
Could you please read a sutra for a child?
**[10:48] Farmer**
He was only three...
**[10:52] Seiku**
I cannot. I have strayed from Buddha's path.
**[10:58] Seiku**
I am no longer a monk.
**[11:07] Teppa**
And here I thought they'd rebuilt that rundown
old temple because they were a pious bunch...
**[11:14] Yuen**
Well-known monks and members
of prestigious samurai families...
**[11:16] Yuen**
They've been providing people
who can't openly visit red-light districts
**[11:19] Yuen**
with not just prostitutes, but opium, as well.
**[11:24] Soji**
And if the customers are pretty enough,
once they're hooked, they get recruited.
**[11:30] Soji**
It ain't just convenient,
it practically runs itself.
**[11:33] Nio**
How come stuck-up people
are always the easiest to trick?
**[11:38] Raizo**
Sakata the magistrate,
Azumi-ya the merchant, and now, nuns...
**[11:43] Raizo**
Just how many are involved with opium?
**[11:45] Teppa**
Those first two might have been
moderating the flow previously.
**[11:50] Soji**
Too much supply means prices fall hard.
Rice and opium are the same that way.
**[11:55] Raizo**
Then, with their deaths,
there is no one at the reins?
**[11:59] Yuen**
Either that, or someone has stumbled
upon enough opium to flood the market.
**[12:05] Raizo**
Did Chinatown find Matsumine's supply?
**[12:08] Teppa**
We can't confirm either way yet.
**[12:10] Teppa**
All we can really do is
execute this revenge.
**[12:18] Raizo**
Excuse me.
**[12:23] Soji**
And here I thought he
was finally lightening up.
**[12:27] Yuen**
Try and keep an eye on him.
**[12:29] Yuen**
I get the feeling that when opium is
involved, he might run off on his own.
**[12:33] Soji**
You gotta be kidding me, boss!
**[12:36] Soji**
*You* try getting in that fool's
way once he's on a tear.
**[12:39] Soji**
You might just end up cut in half.
**[12:41] Yuen**
Which is why I want you to stop him
before he becomes that far gone.
**[12:45] Soji**
You make it sound easy.
**[12:47] Nio**
Huh?
**[12:59] Soji**
You can't get a professional
to sharpen that thing?
**[13:02] Raizo**
Any decent craftsman can tell
when a katana has been used to kill.
**[13:08] Soji**
Y'know, the boss could find you someone
who knows how to keep their mouth shut.
**[13:13] Raizo**
You think I can entrust my sword to
someone else when I can't even trust myself?
**[13:31] Nun A**
What in the world is that brat?
Some kind of demon?
**[13:40] Nun A**
S-Stay back, monster! Murder in a temple?
Do you *want* to go to hell?!
**[13:45] Nio**
Hell?
**[13:47] Nio**
If it even exists,
**[13:49] Nio**
I'm pretty sure we're in it right now.
**[13:51] Nio**
There we go.
**[13:57] Nun C**
We'll just deal with
these intruders ourselves!
**[13:59] Nun B**
They know what they're doing. Stay alert!
**[14:04] Nun B**
What's wrong? Lost your nerve?!
**[14:28] Yuen**
Before the eyes of holy
Saint Mary, full of grace,
**[14:33] Yuen**
for your sins and your misdeeds,
**[14:37] Yuen**
repent.
**[14:46] Keigyoku**
They must be the ribenji-ya I've heard about.
**[14:52] Keigyoku**
In time, I will make them captives to joy.
**[15:03] Teppa**
More cautious than you'd figure for a nun.
**[15:06] Teppa**
Bet she's picked up a lot
of vendettas over the years.
**[15:09] Raizo**
I shall go, then.
**[15:16] Teppa**
Never a dull moment with you around, huh?
**[15:20] Teppa**
Just don't forget, this is about revenge.
**[15:30] Keigyoku**
What were they aiming at?
**[15:41] Raizo**
I have come for revenge.
**[15:43] Keigyoku**
Wait! Surely my life is worth
more than a single gold coin!
**[15:47] Keigyoku**
I would gladly buy it back from you.
**[15:51] Raizo**
With opium?
**[15:52] Keigyoku**
If that's what you want! Gladly!
**[16:00] Raizo**
Tell me everything.
**[16:09] Keigyoku**
Not used to women, are you?
**[16:25] Raizo**
As I thought.
**[16:27] Liu**
As I thought.
**[16:29] Raizo**
It was you...
**[16:29] Liu**
It was you...
**[16:36] Liu**
Jigen-ryu, yes?
**[16:40] Liu**
But it pales in comparison to my speed.
**[16:47] Liu**
Too slow!
**[17:16] Liu**
I praise you for the effort, at least.
**[17:30] Keigyoku**
Until we meet again, my naïve samurai!
**[17:34] Soji**
Yeah, that ain't happening!
**[17:39] Keigyoku**
I can't... Not like this...
**[17:44] Soji**
Whoa, there.
**[17:47] Soji**
Damn, killing women just ain't pleasant.
**[17:53] Liu**
Two at once, huh?
**[17:55] Liu**
Very well.
**[18:00] Soji**
Three at once, it turns out.
**[18:14] Soji**
Is that guy even human?
**[18:47] Nagasaki Administrator**
I apologize for calling you in,
given your weak constitution.
**[18:53] Jinkuro**
When the magistrate calls, I, Isarizawa,
will risk life and limb to answer.
**[18:58] Jinkuro**
Now... how may I be of help today?
**[19:01] Jinkuro**
If the Nagasaki Trade Union's general
overseer, Shishido-sama, is here,
**[19:05] Jinkuro**
I assume it must be something remarkable.
**[19:08] Shishido**
Administrator, have you ever heard
of something called "bitten gold"?
**[19:13] Nagasaki Administrator**
It's a superstition among
the merchants, isn't it?
**[19:15] Nagasaki Administrator**
Offer up a gold coin with teeth marks on it,
**[19:18] Nagasaki Administrator**
and your nemesis dies overnight,
or something like that.
**[19:22] Nagasaki Administrator**
Quite dreadful.
**[19:24] Jinkuro**
Nothing but a ridiculous rumor.
**[19:26] Jinkuro**
It likely began with some rogue who was paid
to kill someone, and took on a life of its own.
**[19:33] Shishido**
But we can hardly ignore this rumor if
it is linked to Sakata-sama's death, can we?
**[19:39] Nagasaki Administrator**
Hm? What are you talking about?
**[19:41] Jinkuro**
Sakata died of a sudden illness.
**[19:44] Shishido**
This was brought to me by someone
who was in a position to collect it.
**[19:50] Shishido**
It was originally a gift to
Sakata-sama from our organization.
**[19:54] Nagasaki Adminstrator**
It's covered in blood!
**[19:56] Nagasaki Adminstrator**
And you are sure it belonged to Sakata?
**[19:58] Jinkuro**
I do remember seeing it before...
**[20:01] Shishido**
Sakata-sama's efforts
earned him the union's respect,
**[20:06] Shishido**
but could easily have drawn the ire
of someone who might bite a gold coin.
**[20:11] Nagasaki Administrator**
Isarizawa, look into this immediately!
**[20:14] Jinkuro**
Yes, sir!
**[20:17] Jinkuro**
I bet that bastard Sakata is thrilled on the
other side, knowing you're such a fan of his.
**[20:25] Shishido**
Please see to it that his killers
are brought to justice.
**[20:30] Jinkuro**
When it's the high-and-mighty general overseer
making the request, I can hardly brush it off.
**[20:35] Jinkuro**
But I'm still busy trying to figure out
who killed that Satsuma samurai.
**[20:39] Jinkuro**
No telling when I'll have time to
investigate the curse of the bitten gold.
**[20:44] Shishido**
I appreciate your candor, but you'd be
surprised by how things can be connected.
**[20:48] Shishido**
Perhaps you will find a lead in the Satsuma
case while pursuing Sakata-sama's killer?
**[20:54] Jinkuro**
Well, ain't that a funny notion?
**[20:59] Jinkuro**
I'm a busy man, so how about
we stop screwing around?
**[21:04] Jinkuro**
Would it kill you to thank me
for taking care of Sakata's mess?
**[21:08] Jinkuro**
That asshole was so full of himself,
he started dealing in opium.
**[21:13] Jinkuro**
I'd wager Nagasaki being full of junkies
would be bad for your profits.
**[21:17] Shishido**
I'm not so sure.
**[21:19] Shishido**
When there's a famine, you sell rice.
**[21:21] Shishido**
When there's a plague, it's your job
as a merchant to sell medicine.
**[21:25] Shishido**
And when there's opium...
**[21:28] Jinikuro**
You knew all along, didn't you?
**[21:31] Shishido**
I've heard your rise through the ranks has
been thanks to your handling of opium crime.
**[21:36] Shishido**
Perhaps you'd be the one
in trouble if it all dried up?
**[21:40] Jinkuro**
You fixing to take over
where Sakata left off?
**[21:44] Shishido**
Who can say?
**[21:45] Shishido**
Perhaps you'd like to join me for tea.
We can pay our respects to the departed...
**[21:50] Jinkuro**
Y'know, a girl I liked to visit
messed around with opium.
**[21:54] Jinkuro**
Her pretty face looks like a skull now.
**[21:57] Jinkuro**
I was willing to laugh it off
when it was just Sakata,
**[22:01] Jinkuro**
but if this escalates, it's gonna get ugly.
**[22:04] Shishido**
That's quite the weapon you have there.
**[22:07] Jinkuro**
Yeah. I had to offer up my
family heirloom, Kiyomitsu,
**[22:10] Jinkuro**
to cover my tab at the
entertainment district.
**[22:13] Jinkuro**
Not that I minded. The sight
of blood makes me pass out.
**[22:17] Shishido**
Still, you never know what might happen.
**[22:20] Shishido**
I hope you don't intend to
use this to commit seppuku?
**[22:24] Jinkuro**
If it comes to that,
maybe you can help me out.
**[22:27] Jinkuro**
I'm sure a big shot like you can call
someone to slice my head off real nice.
**[22:34] Jinkuro**
Y'know, rich boy, a head is
enough to bite into a piece of gold.
**[22:40] Jinkuro**
Just something for you to remember.
**[22:43] Shishido**
Yes, I'll keep it in mind.
**[22:47] Shishido**
But in that case, perhaps I should bite a
piece of gold for the sake of my operation?
**[22:54] Jinkuro**
You looking to avenge Sakata?
**[22:56] Shishido**
Of course not. But I'm ashamed to
admit the residents of Chinatown
**[22:59] Shishido**
have been searching high and low
for a hoard of opium lately.
**[23:04] Shishido**
I can hardly ignore that, can I?
**[23:06] Jinkuro**
As it happens, I've made
arrangements to deal with that.
**[23:09] Jinkuro**
You could always kick back
and just let it get dealt with.
**[23:12] Shishido**
That is actually quite reassuring.
**[23:15] Shishido**
Still, it never hurts to
have extra insurance.
**[23:18] Jinkuro**
In that case, bite all the gold
or squid jerky you like.
**[23:25] Shishido**
I'll do just that, then.

Taishin
***SIGN*** Episode 8
**[02:41] Yuen**
A surprising choice of subject matter.
**[02:45] Raizo**
I have no idea if I should be allowed to
paint the woman I drove to her death...
**[02:51] Raizo**
But if there is no escape from
what I see when I close my eyes,
**[02:55] Raizo**
I have no other choice.
**[02:58] Yuen**
Many who pursue mastery find themselves
chasing certain motifs their entire lives.
**[03:05] Yuen**
You are simply one such person.
I doubt it means more than that.
**[03:09] Raizo**
I am?
**[03:27] Sign**
Taishin
**[03:39] Yuen**
If you need anything,
simply speak to the master of that shop.
**[03:44] Raizo**
Is that what we set out for today?
**[03:50] Yuen**
Your pseudonym, "Taishin"...
Did you come up with it?
**[03:54] Raizo**
Oh, that...
**[03:56] Sign**
Tai
**[03:57] Sign**
Tai
**[04:02] Sign**
Taishin
**[04:03] Raizo**
I took a character from your name for it.
**[04:06] Raizo**
Should I not have done so?
**[04:08] Yuen**
Actually, I'm honored.
**[04:13] Yuen**
I suppose that makes this
Taishin's retreat, starting today.
**[04:22] Yuen**
I used it when I was just starting out.
**[04:25] Yuen**
It's a bit of a walk from the city,
**[04:28] Yuen**
but I imagine you prefer it quiet, anyway.
**[04:31] Raizo**
This is for me?
**[04:33] Yuen**
I think you will soon be so in-demand,
you'll struggle to find time to sleep and eat.
**[04:38] Yuen**
When that happens...
**[04:40] Yuen**
You can put the name and past
of Kurima Raizo behind you,
**[04:43] Yuen**
and carry on as Taishin, the artist.
**[04:47] Raizo**
My name and past...
**[04:53] Raizo**
Can such selfishness truly be forgiven?
**[04:56] Yuen**
I do not think it is a question
of whether it can be forgiven,
**[04:58] Yuen**
but whether or not you choose to do so.
**[05:02] Yuen**
The man who placed the vision of
Saint Mary upon my back is dead.
**[05:09] Yuen**
That is why I must carry his frustration,
**[05:11] Yuen**
and that of all others
who die in a similar fashion,
**[05:15] Yuen**
upon my back, as is appropriate.
**[05:19] Yuen**
The same goes for all of the revengers.
**[05:24] Yuen**
Both Teppa and Nio could
never live in proper society.
**[05:30] Yuen**
But you're different,
**[05:32] Yuen**
as demonstrated by the fact that you are on
the verge of creating a new life as Taishin.
**[05:37] Raizo**
That was never my intention.
**[05:40] Raizo**
The karma I have wrought by killing
first my father-in-law, then my superior...
**[05:46] Raizo**
I cannot rest until this matter, with all
its hidden depths, has been laid to rest.
**[05:51] Yuen**
But what about afterward?
**[05:54] Raizo**
Afterward?
**[05:56] Yuen**
When you have finally
settled all the old scores,
**[05:59] Yuen**
what reason will you have to kill?
**[06:13] Nio**
It would've been so much easier
if he'd just said he was gonna quit.
**[06:18] Yuen**
How much did you hear?
**[06:19] Nio**
You're the one who asked
me to clean the place up.
**[06:24] Nio**
I was thinking about how I could've killed
him if he'd said he was going to quit.
**[06:31] Nio**
Aw, was that a bad idea? But I thought
trying to ditch was against the rules.
**[06:35] Nio**
So why the heck did you even bring it up?
**[06:38] Yuen**
I'm trying to see whether
or not he deserves to die.
**[06:43] Nio**
Oh, is that all?
So you really were testing him.
**[07:00] Nio**
What's up? Another summons?
**[07:02] Yuen**
Likely regarding the excursion
into Chinatown the other day...
**[07:06] Yuen**
I knew the Chapel would
hear about it sooner or later.
**[07:15] Sign**
Pub
**[07:26] Owner**
Welcome.
**[07:28] Raizo**
May I enter?
**[07:30] Owner**
Take a seat in the back.
**[07:36] Waitress**
Hello there. Will you be
having your sake warmed up?
**[07:39] Raizo**
Oh, no sake for me.
**[07:41] Raizo**
Just something to eat, please.
**[07:43] Waitress**
Oh, my. You don't drink, mister samurai?
**[07:46] Raizo**
It's not that...
**[07:48] Raizo**
Actually, you are right. Please bring a bottle.
**[07:51] Waitress**
That's what I like to hear!
Honey, one warm bottle of sake.
**[07:55] Owner**
Sure thing.
**[07:57] Customers**
Nah, there's no way!
**[08:02] (Flashback) Yuen**
You are on the verge of
creating a new life as Taishin.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Yuen**
But what about afterward?
**[08:11] (Flashback) Yuen**
When you have finally
settled all the old scores,
**[08:15] (Flashback) Yuen**
what reason will you have to kill?
**[08:18] Sada**
Now that's the face of a
troubled man, if ever I saw one.
**[08:23] Waitress**
Sorry about the need to share the table.
**[08:26] Waitress**
Here you are.
**[08:28] Sada**
Hope you don't mind the imposition.
**[08:33] Raizo**
You are a priest?
**[08:36] Sada**
Although it's plain to see,
I'm not the most pious one you'll meet.
**[08:43] Sada**
On the trail of the sins committed by all,
**[08:46] Sada**
I travel around the 88 holy
shrines of the nation...
**[08:49] Sada**
That about covers it.
**[08:55] Raizo**
Can I ask a question?
**[08:57] Raizo**
Could one atone for the crime of murder
by embarking on a religious pilgrimage?
**[09:03] Sada**
For a samurai, you've got
quite a sense of humor.
**[09:07] Raizo**
Is it that funny?
**[09:09] Sada**
Well, of course it is.
**[09:11] Sada**
I mean, if a priest's job is to perform
funeral rites and say prayers for the dead,
**[09:15] Sada**
isn't it a samurai's job to kill people?
**[09:18] Raizo**
That hardly sounds like
something a priest should say.
**[09:21] Sada**
If you ask me, condemning killing
is just as much of a whimsical joke.
**[09:29] Sada**
Life is sustained by taking the lives of others,
just like we have for this meal.
**[09:34] Sada**
Even for vegetarians,
the facts remain the same.
**[09:37] Sada**
If you clear a forest and turn it into a field,
what happens to the plants and animals?
**[09:42] Sada**
I'd say taking a life with a bow and arrow is
more respectful than doing so with money.
**[09:50] Raizo**
What do you mean?
**[09:52] Sada**
Well, it's true, isn't it?
**[09:57] Sada**
Be it carpentry or merchantry,
a calling has a lifespan of its own.
**[10:01] Sada**
So by offering coin in exchange for labor,
**[10:04] Sada**
you have, in essence, bought
a portion of that life with money.
**[10:08] Sada**
Whoever called it a "livelihood" was onto
something. If money makes the world go 'round...
**[10:15] Sada**
As such, a comparable amount
of life is lost in the process.
**[10:23] Raizo**
By that logic, a samurai who
kills someone by their own hand
**[10:27] Raizo**
and a young girl who buys a flower at
a shop would be the same type of killer.
**[10:31] Sada**
Samurai never disappoint. You are truly
quick to grasp matters of life and death.
**[10:37] Sada**
It's exactly as you say.
In the same way that you kill with a sword,
**[10:40] Sada**
the average person kills with coin.
**[10:42] Sada**
That's the only real difference.
**[10:46] Sada**
So please...
**[10:51] Sada**
Don't worry so much over something
as trivial as having killed someone.
**[11:05] Raizo**
Forgive me. I think I am drunk.
**[11:09] Raizo**
Ma'am, the money is on the table.
**[11:13] Server**
But mister samurai, this is too much!
**[11:16] Raizo**
I have paid for the priest, as well.
**[11:19] Sada**
Well, well. You have my thanks.
**[11:31] Gerald**
Under ordinary circumstances,
your exploits in Chinatown
**[11:35] Gerald**
are not the kind of thing
that would be forgiven.
**[11:39] Gerald**
But I am willing to make a special exception
now that we know the name of the true sinner.
**[11:46] Gerald**
If the wretched poison permeates
deeper and deeper into this city,
**[11:51] Gerald**
it will likely fall into oblivion
without the need for judgment from Deus.
**[11:56] Gerald**
And in spite of that,
another man appears to be seeking opium.
**[12:02] Gerald**
Liu Wen-Lin of Chinatown.
**[12:05] Gerald**
He must be kept from the opium at all costs.
**[12:13] Yuen**
I must ask...
**[12:15] Yuen**
Where is the bitten koban coin?
**[12:18] Gerald**
Can you not sense the vendetta
burnt into that oban coin?
**[12:23] Gerald**
Where do you think it was scorched so?
**[12:27] Yuen**
Shimabara?
**[12:28] Gerald**
Indeed.
**[12:30] Gerald**
The faithful who died as martyrs in that land
**[12:33] Gerald**
have surely been awaiting a
revenge of great magnitude.
**[12:37] Gerald**
And to that end, they have
entrusted this gold to us.
**[12:41] Gerald**
Is that not enough for you?
**[12:45] Yuen**
If they desire revenge, it would be
against those who condemned them.
**[12:49] Yuen**
Why Liu?
**[12:50] Gerald**
This is a matter that
must be dealt with swiftly!
**[12:53] Gerald**
If nothing is done, Liu's people
will obtain Matsumine's opium.
**[12:58] Gerald**
And if that happens, all will be lost.
**[13:02] Gerald**
There are no revengers in Nagasaki
that I can entrust this Shimabara gold to.
**[13:10] Gerald**
In the name of God, you will strike Liu down.
**[13:15] Soji**
I've never even touched one
of these big boys before!
**[13:18] Soji**
The Chapel must be feeling generous!
**[13:21] Soji**
I thought we were dead meat when I heard
they'd found out about the other day,
**[13:25] Soji**
but it's outta the frying pan
and into the limelight!
**[13:28] Raizo**
But where are the teeth marks of a vendetta?
**[13:31] Soji**
Hey, now that you mention it, there ain't any.
**[13:35] Yuen**
This is a direct request from the Chapel.
**[13:38] Yuen**
They want us to kill Liu as soon as possible.
**[13:43] Teppa**
Well, this definitely
isn't the standard revenge.
**[13:46] Teppa**
Why would they go out of their way?
**[13:49] Yuen**
There's no telling why.
**[13:50] Soji**
You think?
**[13:52] Soji**
They probably forked over the big bucks
because they knew it'd be a tough job.
**[13:56] Soji**
Sounds like the right amount
of compensation to me!
**[13:58] Soji**
Especially considering I was
expecting trouble after what happened.
**[14:02] Raizo**
But—
**[14:03] Soji**
You gonna wring your hands about this, too?
**[14:06] Soji**
You were gonna have to deal
with that guy sooner or later
**[14:08] Soji**
if we stayed on the trail
of Matsumine's opium.
**[14:11] Soji**
Sounds like the ideal opportunity.
**[14:15] Raizo**
Yuen-dono said something to me before.
**[14:17] Raizo**
Revenge is not about the money,
but the depth of the grudge bitten into it.
**[14:23] Soji**
But the folks who have been arranging the
revenges say it's fine even without the bite.
**[14:28] Soji**
That means we've gotta
get it done. Ain't that right?
**[14:32] Soji**
Besides, a grudge is a grudge,
but not all of them are earned, y'know?
**[14:35] Soji**
And what happens if we start
sweating every job that comes in?
**[14:39] Soji**
Ain't we just killing whoever
we feel like at that point?
**[14:41] Soji**
Am I right, boss?
**[14:48] Soji**
Boss?
**[14:49] Nio**
Then you'll have to kill Yuen first, Soji.
**[14:52] Soji**
Huh? Why the hell would I?
**[14:54] Nio**
Because Yuen always says
we don't kill without bitten gold.
**[15:00] Nio**
He's gonna kill you if you keep this up, Soji.
**[15:07] Nio**
I'm not sure what I wanna do, though.
Might be fun to go at it with Yuen.
**[15:11] Soji**
Don't be stupid! What the hell is
the point in us fighting each other?!
**[15:15] Nio**
What else are we supposed to do?
Yuen makes the rules.
**[15:18] Soji**
What are you suggesting, then?
We throw all this gold back in their faces?
**[15:22] Soji**
I mean, if we do...
**[15:24] Teppa**
There's no way the Chapel
lets us get away with it.
**[15:29] Raizo**
But they were the ones
who transgressed first.
**[15:33] Nio**
You're right about that.
Wanna kill everyone from the Chapel, then?
**[15:37] Soji**
You're really making jokes right now?!
**[15:46] Soji**
Are you guys nuts?! We'd have to fight
every other ribenji-ya in Nagasaki!
**[15:51] Soji**
All the luck in the world
wouldn't cover those kinds of odds!
**[15:55] Soji**
Please don't say you're seriously
thinking about this, boss.
**[15:57] Yuen**
If nothing else, we need to find out
what the Chapel is really after.
**[16:04] Yuen**
We are ribenji-ya. We are not their lapdogs.
**[16:08] Teppa**
I could see them throwing
that gold our way as a test
**[16:12] Teppa**
to see if we're willing to wag our tails.
**[16:18] Nio**
What's the big idea?
**[16:20] Soji**
We're outta options, so let's use that trick
again. Head on over to Chinatown, Nio.
**[16:26] Nio**
Aw, but why?
**[16:28] Soji**
If this Liu guy's the kind of
dirtbag that deserves to die,
**[16:31] Soji**
you're bound to find folks
willing to bite that thing.
**[16:34] Soji**
Hurry up and get it done!
**[16:37] Soji**
Boss, doc, samurai!
You guys are cool with this, right?
**[16:43] Yuen**
I would also like to request you do that, Nio.
**[16:46] Yuen**
This could help us learn
the Chapel's true intentions.
**[16:50] Nio**
Ugh, this is a lot of extra work.
**[16:53] Soji**
I could say the same thing!
**[16:55] Soji**
How did we go from needing to kill
Liu to doing all this other crap?!
**[17:00] Raizo**
It is true that this Liu is after the opium.
**[17:04] Raizo**
But we do not know why.
**[17:27] Shishido**
Thank you ever so much for
coming all the way to Nagasaki.
**[17:33] Sada**
Come now. We are just itinerant clergy
who have no real destination in mind.
**[17:38] Sada**
The call goes out, we head there,
no matter where it is.
**[17:41] Sada**
That said, I'd like to ask one thing.
**[17:45] Sada**
Why us? Surely there are plenty of folks
willing to take your gold around here.
**[17:53] Shishido**
Well, you see, the other options
just aren't as trustworthy, sadly.
**[17:57] Sada**
Really? I heard there was a
pack of mad dogs in these parts
**[18:03] Sada**
who would even go up against
the magistrate for the right price.
**[18:07] Shishido**
That particular pack seems to be
giving their owners a hard time lately.
**[18:12] Shishido**
Though it embarrasses me to admit that,
as it paints a poor picture of the city.
**[18:17] Sada**
Well, that does sound troublesome.
**[18:19] Sada**
A dog that breaks its collar can, at times,
be more dangerous than a wolf.
**[18:24] Sada**
I suppose that explains why you called us.
**[18:27] Shishido**
Is it going to be a problem?
**[18:29] Sada**
Of course not!
**[18:31] Sada**
We'd come knocking on
the door of our own family,
**[18:33] Sada**
if that's what the bitten gold called for.
**[18:36] Sada**
And with that being the case, could you go
ahead and leave the mark of your vendetta?
**[18:41] Shishido**
I must say, I really appreciate
how accommodating you are.
**[18:45] Shishido**
Oh, how I hate them.
**[18:51] Shishido**
All these people who stand in my way...
**[18:55] Shishido**
I hate them.
**[19:07] Sada**
Well, that certainly is a very deep grudge.
**[19:10] Shishido**
Oh, look. Someone else
with an unfulfilled vendetta.
**[19:16] Shishido**
Do you mind?
**[19:17] Sada**
No, not at all.
**[19:19] Sada**
Whoever makes the bite,
bitten gold is all the same.
**[19:23] Sada**
And one ribenji-ya is as good as another.
**[20:20] Liu**
You're one of his people.
**[20:27] Nio**
Hey! What's the big idea?!
**[20:27] Liu**
Why has a rat snuck into my town?
**[20:30] Raizo**
What exactly are *you* planning to do?
**[20:48] Liu**
You really have underestimated me.
Draw your sword.
**[20:52] Raizo**
The opium bought by
Satsuma's chief financial officer...
**[20:55] Raizo**
What do you plan to do with it?
**[20:56] Liu**
How foolish can you people be?
**[21:00] Raizo**
If your idea of wisdom is letting innocent
people suffer the effects of opium,
**[21:04] Raizo**
then I am glad to be a fool.
**[21:07] Liu**
What?
**[21:26] Yuen**
This is addressed to the
Qing Imperial Commissioner...
**[21:29] Yuen**
Lin Zexu.
**[21:32] Teppa**
Which would mean this guy is...
**[21:59] Sada**
We've come for revenge.

Where'd that shot come from?
**[00:04] Nio**
No idea.
**[00:07] Raizo**
Nio!
**[00:14] Raizo**
Hold on. A doctor is on the way.
**[00:17] Yotaro**
What's this? He survived?
**[01:55] Raizo**
Who are you?
***SIGN*** Episode 9
**[01:56] Yotaro**
Okay, enough with the scary face.
**[01:59] Yotaro**
We'll take care of this guy.
**[02:01] Yotaro**
You can run on home.
**[02:05] Yotaro**
The hell, man? That was cutting it close.
**[02:06] Soji**
Sorry, pal, but that guy's head is
gonna bring us a big old oban coin.
**[02:11] Soji**
And this is a first-come, first-serve gig.
**[02:15] Yotaro**
Wait, what?
**[02:16] Yotaro**
What are you doing?
**[02:18] Yotaro**
I thought you guys were gonna kill him.
**[02:20] Soji**
Man, shut up. It's complicated, okay?
**[02:23] Kazuya**
That wasn't a kill shot.
Is this for the best?
**[02:26] Sada**
He won't last long, and now
we know what we're dealing with.
**[02:30] Kazuya**
What do you suppose they're trying to do?
**[02:33] Sada**
Well, I thought they were
in the same line of work...
**[02:37] Kazuya**
Should I take another shot?
**[02:38] Sada**
Not today. I think we're done for now.
**[02:41] Sada**
We haven't even introduced
ourselves properly.
**[02:44] Sada**
Signal that fool Yotaro to come on back.
**[02:47] Kazuya**
Yes, sir.
**[02:54] Yotaro**
Ugh, this is so damn annoying.
**[02:57] Yotaro**
Maybe I'll just kill you!
**[03:02] Soji**
Dumbass.
**[03:03] Yotaro**
Whoa, time out! Hold on a sec.
**[03:08] Yotaro**
See? Glad you waited, aren't you?
**[03:10] Yotaro**
Catch you later!
**[03:11] Soji**
Hey!
**[03:14] Soji**
What's his deal?
**[03:24] Liu**
Kill me, revenger...
**[03:26] Raizo**
No one has bitten any gold.
**[03:30] Liu**
What?
**[03:32] Raizo**
Tell me why you want the opium.
**[03:35] Liu**
Who would want that wretched filth?
**[03:39] Raizo**
Then we *are* after the same thing, after all.
**[03:43] Liu**
What?
**[03:45] Raizo**
The opium Satsuma's chief financial
officer brought into Nagasaki
**[03:48] Raizo**
must be burnt until no trace of it remains.
**[03:51] Raizo**
Do you agree?
**[03:53] Liu**
Whose orders are you under?
**[03:56] Raizo**
I have no master. Not anymore.
**[03:58] Liu**
You're a mere ronin?
**[04:01] Raizo**
What about you?
**[04:06] Raizo**
I was the same way once.
**[04:08] Raizo**
I followed orders and killed innocent people.
Including a man who was like a father to me.
**[04:15] Raizo**
Do not make the same mistake.
Be certain who your enemies are.
**[04:19] Liu**
What are you...
**[04:25] Teppa**
The bullet passed through.
There's a good chance he'll make it.
**[04:29] Yuen**
It's dangerous here.
**[04:31] Yuen**
Let's head to the clinic.
**[04:40] Liu**
No one gets away. Under Commissioner Lin's orders,
we will eradicate opium from the Qing Empire!
**[04:53] Minion A**
Master Liu, you need to see this...
**[04:57] Liu**
What is it?
**[05:07] Xue Mei**
Huh?
**[05:08] Xue Mei**
What's wrong, brother?

Xue Mei...

**[05:26] Liu**
The opium... I must...
**[05:30] Liu**
Every last trace...
**[05:33] Teppa**
The Qing had tea, silk, and
porcelain to sell to the English,
**[05:39] Teppa**
but the English had nothing
of their own to trade.
**[05:42] Teppa**
Which is why they started selling
India-produced opium instead.
**[05:47] Soji**
You bust your ass learning a trade
just to end up hooked on opium...
**[05:52] Soji**
That's a screwed-up joke
if ever I heard one.
**[05:55] Teppa**
It spread through the country like wildfire,
and managing it proved difficult.
**[06:01] Teppa**
Especially considering a ban on opium
**[06:04] Teppa**
would upset the English, who were
making massive profits from its sale.
**[06:09] Teppa**
But in spite of that, the Qing Emperor tried
to eradicate opium from within his borders,
**[06:14] Teppa**
appointing an administrator
known for his pristine reputation
**[06:18] Teppa**
to act as his proxy in pursuit of this task.
**[06:21] Teppa**
Namely, the Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu.
**[06:25] Soji**
So this Liu guy...
**[06:26] Soji**
In Japanese terms, he's like a vassal
who reports directly to the shogun?
**[06:30] Nio**
But this is all stuff from overseas, right?
**[06:34] Nio**
What's it got to do with us?
**[06:36] Nagasaki**
The winds blow, and a barrel-maker
ends up making a profit.
**[06:40] Nagasaki**
You'd be surprised by all the ways
things are connected in this world.
**[06:45] Nio**
Say what now?
**[06:47] Soji**
Well, if it blew all the way to
Nagasaki, that's one hell of a wind.
**[06:53] Raizo**
Wait! You're in no condition to be moving!
**[06:56] Liu**
Enough! Let go of me!
**[06:59] Teppa**
Good grief.
**[07:04] Teppa**
I've notified Chinatown that you're alive.
**[07:08] Teppa**
Given the shape you're in,
there'd be no point in returning.
**[07:11] Liu**
You're a hired killer. Why are you
playing at being a doctor, revenger?
**[07:16] Teppa**
Our line of work involves
settling vendettas bitten into gold.
**[07:21] Teppa**
We have no reason to kill an agent working
for the Imperial Commissioner of Qing.
**[07:29] Raizo**
If you intend to destroy the opium,
as I also do, I suggest we join forces.
**[07:34] Liu**
Are you out of your mind, assassin?
**[07:39] Yuen**
There's no need to be so brusque.
**[07:42] Yuen**
Kurima here has lost a great deal thanks to
the Satsuma financial officer's opium deal.
**[07:48] Yuen**
His father-in-law,
his fiancée, and a clan to serve.
**[07:55] Yuen**
Could you at least tell us
how you ended up here?
**[08:05] Raizo**
Please.
**[08:16] Liu**
English merchants try to avoid being
investigated for smuggling opium,
**[08:21] Liu**
so they've been hiding
their supply in nearby ports.
**[08:24] Liu**
Singapore, Calcutta, and here in Nagasaki.
**[08:29] Liu**
But someone in this town had an eye
for the opium that was brought in.
**[08:34] Teppa**
And they saw it as the
perfect chance to procure it.
**[08:38] Liu**
They thought they were
being clever, but it was idiocy.
**[08:42] Liu**
We're talking about an
amount too large to manage.
**[08:45] Liu**
The English will be able to buy it back
at a fraction of the price after the fact.
**[08:49] Teppa**
Except that Matsumine was
killed by our Kurima-kun here,
**[08:53] Teppa**
and the opium that was floating around
Nagasaki was snatched up by someone else.
**[08:58] Yuen**
It could simply be some
greedy Japanese group...
**[09:02] Yuen**
Or the English.
**[09:04] Yuen**
I've heard the Imperial Commissioner
has many enemies, as well.
**[09:08] Yuen**
Another faction from
Qing might be behind it.
**[09:11] Liu**
This is a matter for my country.
**[09:13] Liu**
You people have no place... in... this...
**[09:22] Liu**
Bastard...
**[09:24] Yuen**
What you need most right now is rest.
**[09:28] Yuen**
We'll talk again later.
**[09:43] Soji**
Damn it.
**[09:45] Soji**
I was so desperate for that gold,
I ended up drawing a busted hand.
**[09:48] Soji**
I acted like a complete amateur.
**[09:52] Nio**
What's gotten into you, Soji?
**[09:54] Nio**
You look even more pitiful than usual.
**[09:56] Soji**
Stuff it.
**[09:57] Soji**
Hey, li'l Nio, what exactly is our job?
**[10:02] Nio**
You don't have one, Soji.
**[10:04] Soji**
No, I'm talking about being a ribenji-ya.
**[10:07] Nio**
Then don't ask.
**[10:09] Soji**
We got a real straightforward setup.
**[10:12] Soji**
We take the money and kill someone.
It's supposed to be simple.
**[10:17] Soji**
So how in the hell are we on the
hook to help some Qing big shot?
**[10:21] Nio**
What else are we supposed to do?
No one wanted to bite the oban coin.
**[10:25] Soji**
Doesn't mean we gotta help this guy out.
**[10:30] Soji**
We coulda ditched him any number of ways.
**[10:33] Soji**
But instead, we're sheltering a guy
we were meant to get revenge on.
**[10:37] Soji**
You know what that means, right? Well?
**[10:40] Nio**
No big gold coin for us.
**[10:44] Soji**
It's way worse than even that.
**[10:47] Soji**
We're basically picking
a fight with the Chapel.
**[10:50] Soji**
All this crap about the Qing and the English...
What's it have to do with us?
**[10:56] Soji**
What the hell are we gonna do?
**[10:58] Nio**
I don't think you worrying
about it is gonna help, Soji.
**[11:02] Nio**
I'm sure Yuen will think of something.
**[11:04] Soji**
But the boss is acting like the samurai.
**[11:08] Soji**
He's set on helping this Chinese guy,
which is what I'm worried about.
**[11:12] Soji**
Aw, man! When'd our revenge
business get so messed up?
**[11:22] Teppa**
Well, we know what Liu's after now.
**[11:25] Teppa**
But we don't know who shot him,
nor who took Matsumine's opium.
**[11:30] Teppa**
Just more questions to worry about.
**[11:33] Yuen**
Given his identity, there's no shortage
of people who'd want him dead.
**[11:38] Teppa**
Let's take things one at a time, then.
**[11:42] Teppa**
Why did the Chapel order revenge on Liu?
**[11:45] Teppa**
And what if they gave that order
while knowing who he was?
**[11:50] Teppa**
That'd mean the Chapel is working
alongside whoever took the opium.
**[11:54] Teppa**
Or maybe even working *for* them.
**[11:58] Teppa**
That might mean the
oban coin we were offered
**[12:00] Teppa**
was their way of testing if
we'd help distribute the opium.
**[12:07] Yuen**
That seems likely.
**[12:08] Teppa**
But what do we do, then?
**[12:11] Teppa**
Have you heard anything from them?
**[12:13] Yuen**
Not so far.
**[12:15] Teppa**
That's actually scarier. Because they're
bound to have caught on by now.
**[12:19] Teppa**
To the fact that we're protecting Liu,
and that we know who he really is.
**[12:26] Yuen**
I'll be heading to the Chapel
on the Sabbath either way.
**[12:31] Teppa**
To do what?
**[12:32] Yuen**
The only thing I can do is confess the truth.
**[12:36] Yuen**
Now that we know who Liu is,
we have to return the gold, as well.
**[12:40] Yuen**
If that happens, and I don't return, then...
**[12:45] Yuen**
You need to take charge.
**[12:49] Teppa**
There's still the matter of Kurima-kun.
**[12:52] Teppa**
Be very careful out there.
**[13:07] Raizo**
The doctor will be back with medicine soon.
**[13:09] Liu**
I don't need it. Just take me to Chinatown.
**[13:12] Raizo**
Don't be ridiculous.
If you move too much, you will die.
**[13:16] Liu**
That's why I need to go tell my men
**[13:19] Liu**
that the opium Commissioner Lin
has staked his life on expelling
**[13:22] Liu**
must never return to my homeland.
**[13:27] Raizo**
But what about you? If you were to die,
you must have family that would suffer.
**[13:31] Liu**
What difference does that make
when I'm doing my duty?!
**[13:33] Liu**
Have you forgotten a warrior's purpose?!
**[13:49] Raizo**
I cannot guarantee that I can protect you.
**[13:53] Minion B**
Has there been any word from Master Liu since?
**[13:56] Minion A**
With all the blood we saw... Could he have...
**[14:00] Minion B**
Don't be stupid! The master can't possibly be dead.
**[14:02] Drugstore Owner**
I've contacted the Nagasaki Trade Union. If he's alive, he will return.
**[14:09] Minion B**
So all we can do is wait here?
**[14:16] Drugstore Owner**
Hm? What's that racket?
**[14:17] Yotaro**
Hey there, folks!
**[14:18] Yotaro**
Hope you don't mind me coming through
the back. The Trade Union sent me.
**[14:24] Minion A**
Who are you?!
**[14:26] Sada**
Oh, I wouldn't worry about our names.
**[14:30] Sada**
We're just here for a bit of revenge.
**[14:34] Minion B**
Spare me your nonsense!
**[14:52] Sada**
We've come...
**[14:55] Sada**
for revenge.
**[15:02] Yotaro**
Aw, man. You took 'em all out by yourself.
**[15:06] Yotaro**
I shoulda gone down to the port instead.
**[15:15] Liu**
The doctor told me about you.
**[15:19] Liu**
You got your revenge.
Why continue to pursue the opium?
**[15:26] Raizo**
I am haunted by visions of her.
**[15:30] Liu**
A woman?
**[15:32] Raizo**
One that I let die.
**[15:34] Raizo**
And the opium caused it all.
**[15:40] Liu**
And now, asinine sentimentality
has you running in circles.
**[15:46] Liu**
Did that bother you?
**[15:48] Raizo**
No. What you say is the truth.
**[15:52] Liu**
What is wrong with you?
**[16:13] Chinese Sailor A**
What is this?
**[16:14] Chinese Sailor B**
Some Japanese merchant came by. Said you ordered it.
**[16:18] Chinese Sailor A**
Me? Well, I didn't. What's inside?
**[16:22] Chinese Sailor A**
Is that... oil?
**[16:32] Liu**
No...
**[16:36] Raizo**
I will find out what happened. Wait here.
**[16:43] Chinese 1**
What happened here?!
**[16:45] Chinese 2**
There's a fire in the port! What's going on?!
**[16:48] Magistrate**
Calm down and stand back!
**[17:01] Liu**
Damn it...
**[17:15] Liu**
Fine. I'll take you with me.
**[17:34] Raizo**
Begone!
**[17:36] Raizo**
Or I will cut you down!
**[17:47] Raizo**
Liu!
**[17:49] Liu**
Pathetic... Can't even take
one of them with me...
**[17:53] Raizo**
Don't talk. It will aggravate your wound.
**[17:56] Liu**
Forget about me. How are they?
**[18:02] Liu**
Even the men in the port?
**[18:05] Liu**
I don't even know who's responsible...
**[18:07] Liu**
The commissioner entrusted me
with soldiers, a ship, and comrades...
**[18:14] Liu**
This is all my fault.
**[18:17] Raizo**
This only means your enemy is a
wretched one. Live and even the score!
**[18:22] Liu**
That won't happen.
**[18:25] Liu**
Forgive me... Xue Mei...
**[18:32] Liu**
It seems we really are... the same...
**[18:36] Raizo**
Hey!
**[18:37] Liu**
I hate it so much...
The opium... My sister was...
**[18:42] Liu**
No...
**[18:44] Liu**
I can't die yet... Not like this...
**[18:49] Raizo**
Then entrust it!
**[18:51] Liu**
What?
**[18:53] Raizo**
Entrust your vendetta to us!
**[19:07] Sute**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...
**[19:13] Sada**
Couldn't even kill a half-dead Chinese man.
Makes you worth less than a mangy dog, Sute.
**[19:18] Sada**
It's pathetic.
**[19:20] Sute**
I'm sorry!
**[19:21] Sada**
You're not a parrot, boy. Apologize
like you've got a thought in that head.
**[19:27] Kazuya**
Priest. Shishido-sama wants you.
**[19:30] Sada**
Is that right?
**[19:32] Sada**
Lucky you.
**[19:34] Sada**
I don't really wanna have to explain to our
client why I had to crush your mongrel skull.
**[19:44] Sada**
So Kurima Raizo and his allies
**[19:48] Sada**
are total strangers, unaffiliated with
you folks. Am I understanding that right?
**[19:53] Sister**
Yes. The Chapel has nothing
to do with these people.
**[19:58] Shishido**
If you had told us sooner,
**[20:01] Shishido**
Sada-san could've gone after Liu properly,
instead of erring on the side of caution.
**[20:06] Sada**
Oh, don't worry about us, sir.
**[20:10] Sada**
I'd rather discuss today's
events in Chinatown.
**[20:15] Shishido**
What Kurima Raizo and
his gang did was so dreadful.
**[20:19] Shishido**
Assaulting Chinatown, which is under
the Nagasaki Trade Union's protection,
**[20:23] Shishido**
in broad daylight...
**[20:25] Shishido**
Something must be done.
**[20:28] Sister**
Without a doubt.
**[20:30] Shishido**
Do you mind if I bite some gold
regarding this matter, then?
**[20:35] Sister**
God will surely forgive you.
**[20:39] Shishido**
In that case, I, Shishido, shall
humbly leave the mark of my grudge.
**[20:45] Sister**
May God bless Nagasaki.
**[20:53] Shishido**
It's a shame what happened to Liu.
**[20:57] Sada**
I'm sorry our stupid brat
couldn't finish the job, sir.
**[21:00] Sada**
But from what I've heard,
it's likely he's done for.
**[21:04] Shishido**
Oh, I meant the other way around, actually.
**[21:07] Shishido**
I'm sad that he died
without learning the truth.
**[21:11] Shishido**
If he'd known I was responsible for all of it,
what kind of face would he have made?
**[21:16] Shishido**
I wish I could've seen it.
**[21:18] Sada**
Yeah, that is a shame.
**[21:20] Shishido**
I don't blame you, of course.
**[21:23] Shishido**
Our Chinese friend was
simply too much of a fool.
**[21:27] Sada**
I must say, this is a massive supply.
Why not simply sell it to the Qing?
**[21:33] Sada**
Threaten to hand it to
the English if they refuse,
**[21:36] Sada**
and they'll be in no position
to try and short you.
**[21:38] Shishido**
I wouldn't dream of it.
**[21:40] Shishido**
Why would I give up such a wonderful prize?
**[21:45] Shishido**
Money can only tempt people
in the heat of the moment,
**[21:49] Shishido**
but opium can make them
dance until they fall apart.
**[21:53] Sada**
I take it you intend to turn Nagasaki
into the stage for a grand opium dance?
**[22:00] Shishido**
Yes!
**[22:01] Shishido**
Doesn't that sound like fun?

**[00:00] Jinkuro**
You guys have really done it this time.
**[00:03] Jinkuro**
Running amok in Chinatown
in broad daylight like that...
**[00:06] Jinkuro**
The magistrate won't stop yelling
**[00:08] Jinkuro**
about the ribenji-ya needing
their heads lopped off and hung up.
**[00:12] Yuen**
And we're supposedly
responsible for all of it?
**[00:15] Jinkuro**
All thanks to a hot tip from everyone's
favorite trade union rep, Shishido-sama.
**[00:21] Jinkuro**
Aided by Kurima Raizo,
you guys swiped the Satsuma opium,
**[00:26] Jinkuro**
then wiped out the Qing emissaries,
led by Liu, who'd been sent to retrieve it.
**[00:34] Yuen**
I'm surprised they want
to cover it up so hastily.
**[00:37] Yuen**
Chinatown is under the
Nagasaki Trade Union's supervision.
**[00:40] Yuen**
This incident ultimately
tarnishes their reputation.
**[00:45] Yuen**
Wouldn't that motivate them
to find the true culprit?
**[00:49] Jinkuro**
And yet, they're still dead set on
saying it was you guys who did it.
**[00:55] Jinkuro**
Why do you suppose that is?
**[00:58] Yuen**
The union knows who's responsible.
**[01:04] Jinkuro**
Come on, man. You're sharper than that.
**[01:07] Yuen**
Then it was the Nagasaki Trade Union
who killed Liu and attacked Chinatown.
**[01:15] Jinkuro**
That's more like it.
**[01:17] Yuen**
Liu was a Qing agent sent here
on a mission to dispose of opium.
**[01:22] Yuen**
Opium that should also pose a threat
to the union's operations. So why?
**[01:27] Jinkuro**
Well, it's not like they had
a meeting and all agreed on it.
**[01:30] Jinkuro**
There's a loose cannon in the mix.
**[01:35] Yuen**
Shishido Saimon-sama,
the union's general overseer.
**[01:40] Jinkuro**
Yep. That bastard said he was gonna bite
gold for the sake of the folks in Chinatown.
**[01:47] Jinkuro**
And he did just that.
**[01:50] Jinkuro**
Seems Shishido wants to get in
good with that foreign priest,
**[01:53] Jinkuro**
while cutting the rest of you off.
**[01:56] Jinkuro**
Play it cool if you want,
**[01:59] Jinkuro**
but you might wanna think about
what to do with yourself.
**[02:03] Jinkuro**
I can always hook you up
with a job waving a jitte around.
**[02:07] Jinkuro**
I'd have your back then.
**[02:10] Yuen**
I'm barely able to deal
with all the odd jobs in town.
**[02:14] Yuen**
I'm afraid assisting you would be beyond me.
**[02:18] Jinkuro**
Gotta be stubborn, huh?
**[02:23] Yuen**
As the general overseer of the trade union,
he's positioned to take over someday.
**[02:29] Yuen**
Why would he do all this?
**[02:30] Jinkuro**
He had Sakata gunning for me, too.
**[02:35] Jinkuro**
On top of supplying him with opium.
**[02:37] Jinkuro**
I thought he was a rich
little shit playing with fire,
**[02:40] Jinkuro**
running a side hustle to make a bit extra...
**[02:42] Jinkuro**
But I was wrong.
**[02:45] Jinkuro**
Maybe it's time the Pajama Police
thought about hanging up our robes.
**[02:50] Jinkuro**
Because this son of a bitch is serious about
turning Nagasaki into one big opium den.
**[02:56] Yuen**
But why?
**[02:57] Jinkuro**
Hell if I know.
**[03:02] Yuen**
I suppose we'll just have
to go find out, then.
**[04:48] Hana**
Hey, Soji!
**[04:49] Hana**
It's too late to be making so much...
**[04:52] Hana**
What happened here?
**[04:57] Soji**
Slippery bastard.
**[04:59] Raizo**
It seems they do know where we live.
**[05:01] Soji**
Well, they did see our faces.
**[05:04] Raizo**
What now?
**[05:05] Soji**
I'm not going back there for a while.
You find somewhere to hide out, too.
**[05:09] Soji**
We don't wanna drag Hana's family into this.
***SIGN*** Episode 10
**[05:21] Merchant A**
I must say, this is rather, uh...
**[05:26] Shishido**
A piece from the renowned Tenzan-sensei.
**[05:30] Shishido**
I would like to spend today
remembering him with all of you.
**[05:33] Merchant A**
Remembering? I had no idea he'd died.
**[05:38] Merchant B**
From what I heard, his wife passed away,
and the grief drove him to opium.
**[05:44] Merchant C**
Stop that. Those are just rumors.
**[05:46] Shishido**
Before his passing, Sensei gave form
to the ephemeral nature of man.
**[05:53] Merchant A**
I see! When you put it in those terms,
this piece is quite thought-provoking.
**[06:01] Merchant B**
I'm sure his surviving family is honored
to have your patronage, Shishido-sama.
**[06:05] Shishido**
Unfortunately, Tenzan-sensei was only able
to finish the cup portion before he passed.
**[06:11] Shishido**
What do you say, Usui-sama?
**[06:13] Shishido**
Perhaps you could adorn it with your lacquer.
**[06:18] Merchant C**
Usui-sama's touch... for this?
**[06:20] Merchant B**
I see!
**[06:22] Shishido**
With the addition of your gifts, I'm sure
Sensei's work can become truly everlasting.
**[06:32] Yuen**
I appreciate you inviting me here today,
**[06:36] Yuen**
but I must humbly decline.
**[06:43] Shishido**
I thought only your work would
be a match for this teacup...
**[06:50] Shishido**
May I ask why?
**[06:52] Yuen**
I don't believe this piece turned out
the way Tenzan-sensei wanted it to.
**[06:57] Yuen**
As a fellow artist in pursuit of expression,
**[07:00] Yuen**
I do not wish to expose it
to greater scrutiny.
**[07:04] Shishido**
You say that, but there is no shortage of
works decried by their makers as failures,
**[07:08] Shishido**
only for them to later
be reappraised as fine art.
**[07:15] Yuen**
And you believe this to be such a piece?
**[07:16] Shishido**
Yes. I dare say that Sensei was born for
the purpose of giving birth to this work.
**[07:28] Merchant C**
P-Putting that aside for a moment...
**[07:30] Merchant C**
Is that by the artist
everyone's been talking about?
**[07:33] Shishido**
Yes. It was quite difficult to actually get
my hands on it, but isn't it something?
**[07:40] Merchant A**
The rumors don't do him justice.
**[07:42] Merchant B**
It's like the living image of someone.
**[07:45] Shishido**
Though I must say...
**[07:46] Shishido**
Whoever had this artist take up
a brush must be truly cruel.
**[07:52] Yuen**
What do you mean?
**[07:54] Shishido**
I believe the girl depicted here
is no longer among the living.
**[07:56] Signature Sign**
Taishin
**[08:00] Shishido**
I can feel the despair and self-condemnation
that comes from letting a loved one die,
**[08:05] Shishido**
as if this was painted by
cutting away at one's own flesh.
**[08:10] Yuen**
People deal with their
grief in different ways.
**[08:14] Yuen**
I'd wager that, for this artist, Taishin,
creating art is his method for doing so.
**[08:20] Shishido**
In that case, I can't wait to see more from him.
**[08:25] Shishido**
If he can reproduce the image
of a lost one so clearly,
**[08:30] Shishido**
it must be akin to perpetually
losing that person over and over.
**[08:35] Shishido**
I wonder what will become of this artist.
**[08:40] Yuen**
If he's able to keep confronting his grief
without turning away from it,
**[08:46] Yuen**
in time, I'm sure it will be his salvation.
**[08:49] Shishido**
Would that be like a ray of light clearing
away the clouds of grief around his art?
**[08:58] Shishido**
How dreadfully dull.
**[09:00] Shishido**
If salvation brings about such a pedestrian
turn, this creator has no need of it.
**[09:06] Shishido**
Infinite suffering capable of
shattering the body and mind
**[09:09] Shishido**
would be much more valuable.
**[09:12] Shishido**
I'm certain that would create much finer art.
**[09:19] Teppa**
It's only just healed, all right?
So don't push yourself too hard.
**[09:24] Construction worker**
Thanks for everything.
**[09:38] Teppa**
Well, time for supper.
**[09:49] Nio**
Hey, you making the same thing again?
**[09:52] Soji**
Aw, c'mon, Doc. I'm impressed you can
make a meal out of a single daikon radish,
**[09:57] Soji**
but it wouldn't hurt to spice it up with
a whole sea bream or something, y'know?
**[10:02] Teppa**
Sorry, did I adopt you two at some point?
**[10:06] Soji**
What do you want from me? These guys
could attack my place at any minute.
**[10:10] Soji**
Can you imagine if they lit that tiny
room in the middle of town on fire?
**[10:14] Soji**
Even that hulking frame
of yours would get cooked.
**[10:17] Nio**
That about covers it. Plus, Raizo spends
all day scowling blankly up at Yuen's place.
**[10:23] Nio**
I don't wanna hang around there.
**[10:25] Teppa**
Then could you at least help out a little?
**[10:29] Soji**
Sorry, but I ain't what you'd call "educated."
Western medicine goes right over my head.
**[10:34] Nio**
I'm great at killing people,
but fixing them up? Nah.
**[10:39] Nio**
Hey, aren't there any new revenge jobs?
**[10:44] Soji**
'Course there ain't. We picked a
fight with the Chapel, remember?
**[10:49] Teppa**
I'm not so sure about that. Usui-kun should
be visiting the Chapel right about now.
**[10:54] Teppa**
Depending on how it goes,
he might return with a gold coin.
**[10:58] Soji**
The boss is doing *what*?!
**[10:59] Soji**
He's going to the Chapel? Alone?!
**[11:02] Teppa**
With the Liu matter more or less settled,
he has to go report in about it.
**[11:08] Teppa**
As well as return the oban gold.
**[11:11] Soji**
If it was that easy, would we
really be in a situation this hairy?!
**[11:15] Soji**
How do we know he's even
gonna come back alive?
**[11:19] Teppa**
We don't.
**[11:20] Soji**
What the hell?
**[11:22] Soji**
And you just let him go?
**[11:25] Nio**
What else could he do? You know
Yuen doesn't take no for an answer.
**[11:29] Soji**
Damn it!
**[11:31] Nio**
Hey! What's the big idea?!
**[11:33] Teppa**
Where are you going? Food's almost done.
**[11:36] Soji**
Ain't got much of an appetite.
**[11:38] Teppa**
The best thing we can do right now is wait.
For the time being, at least.
**[11:45] Nio**
Soji, where are you going?
**[11:47] Soji**
To the damn gambling den!
I'm too worked up for much else!
**[11:51] Nio**
Didn't you just say these guys
could attack at any time?
**[11:54] Soji**
Shut it!
**[11:55] Soji**
Times like these, you need to
check how your luck's working!
**[12:07] Gerald**
The failed revenge against Liu Wen-Lin was
not what I have come to expect from you.
**[12:13] Gerald**
That said, the ultimate
outcome was a suitable one,
**[12:19] Gerald**
so perhaps this, too, is God's will.
**[12:22] Gerald**
Which is why I am willing to
overlook what has happened.
**[12:27] Yuen**
Liu's aim wasn't to bring opium
into Nagasaki, but to remove it.
**[12:34] Yuen**
An emissary from Qing charged
with the eradication of opium...
**[12:38] Yuen**
I must ask: what reason was there
for him to be a target for revenge?
**[12:44] Gerald**
All that glitters is the
gold of a bitten koban.
**[12:48] Gerald**
You know better than to probe too deeply.
**[12:53] Yuen**
I met with a man named Shishido Saimon.
**[12:56] Gerald**
Hm... I believe he is the general overseer
of the Nagasaki Trade Union, yes?
**[13:03] Yuen**
You're not acquainted with him?
**[13:05] Gerald**
That's rather a sudden accusation.
**[13:08] Gerald**
What makes you think so?
**[13:11] Yuen**
There's something I've been wondering.
**[13:15] Yuen**
Why would a piece of gold left behind
by our brethren at Shimabara
**[13:18] Yuen**
not bear the teeth marks of a vendetta?
**[13:22] Yuen**
And Shishido Saimon feels no grudge.
No rage. And no hatred, for that matter.
**[13:28] Yuen**
All he feels is twisted pleasure
at seeing people's lives disrupted.
**[13:34] Yuen**
Neither he nor those who disgrace
themselves as his followers
**[13:39] Yuen**
could sink their corrupt teeth
**[13:41] Yuen**
into this piece of gold, the embodiment
of the faithful who died for their beliefs.
**[13:48] Gerald**
I have taught you that such impertinence
only serves to distance you from true faith.
**[13:56] Gerald**
Close your eyes, my child.
You should be able to feel it.
**[14:01] Gerald**
The vendetta of those who died in the
flames clings to that coin even now.
**[14:07] Yuen**
With Liu gone, Shishido will move to begin
distributing the opium Matsumine purchased.
**[14:13] Yuen**
Do you believe letting Nagasaki turn into
Hell is the vengeance this coin pays for?
**[14:18] Gerald**
The truly virtuous would never
succumb to the temptation of opium.
**[14:26] Gerald**
Indeed, it may even be that Shishido's
very machinations are the will of God above.
**[14:34] Gerald**
For the Lord's judgment can be harsh.
**[14:38] Gerald**
If Japan can plunge into the inferno
due to the influence of opium,
**[14:43] Gerald**
it only means this nation has sinned
enough to deserve such a fate.
**[14:48] Yuen**
There is no doubt that men sin easily.
**[14:51] Yuen**
But it is for that very reason
that God sent His only son to us.
**[14:55] Yuen**
And those who exist
beyond even that salvation...
**[14:58] Yuen**
We revengers serve them.
**[15:04] Gerald**
Now that is a most deep-seated vendetta.
**[15:08] Yuen**
It is the vendetta Liu incised
with his final breaths.
**[15:11] Yuen**
Against those who deceived him
and killed his comrades.
**[15:15] Yuen**
A grudge against those who toy
with something as loathsome as opium.
**[15:19] Yuen**
How could I, as a revenger, ignore
the sentiment bitten into this coin?
**[15:35] Gerald**
Thy will be done.
**[15:40] Raizo**
Shishido Saimon...
**[15:43] Raizo**
He is the one responsible for Liu's demise?
**[15:46] Yuen**
Not only that, but he stole
Matsumine Jonoshin's opium,
**[15:50] Yuen**
and is on the verge of
distributing it around Nagasaki.
**[15:54] Raizo**
I was never fully convinced of the purpose
behind being a revenger until today.
**[16:02] Raizo**
But if I had never met you,
**[16:05] Raizo**
I would have died without knowing
the truth of the crime I had committed.
**[16:13] Raizo**
You have my gratitude.
**[16:15] Yuen**
You were the one who
followed the thread of karma.
**[16:19] Raizo**
If nothing else, it is the duty of
this foolish samurai, Kurima Raizo,
**[16:23] Raizo**
to ensure that this is all brought to an end,
even at the cost of his own life.
**[16:30] Yuen**
But what happens after?
**[16:32] Raizo**
I shall do the noble thing
and disembowel myself.
**[16:37] Raizo**
Though I doubt my father-in-law or Yui
would accept me dying like a samurai.
**[16:45] Yuen**
You have another name.
**[16:49] Yuen**
That of the artist, Taishin.
**[16:53] Raizo**
True.
**[16:55] Raizo**
One that forces me to confront the crimes
I committed for as long as my life continues.
**[17:01] Raizo**
That may be a better fit for me.
**[17:06] Yuen**
If you intend to come
into your own as an artist,
**[17:09] Yuen**
you may need a wider
variety of subject matter.
**[17:12] Raizo**
That is not possible.
**[17:14] Raizo**
Not yet, at least.
**[17:17] Raizo**
But perhaps one day...
someday far from now...
**[17:23] Raizo**
Yui may smile for me.
**[17:34] Soji**
Hey, what's going on?
Things are awful lively in here.
**[17:37] Dealer a**
She floated in here and asked to give it
a try, but she's got a real knack for it.
**[17:42] Dealer a**

Now, what's it gonna be?
**[19:31] Dealer u**
What's it gonna be?
Come on. Any bets this time?
**[19:34] Soji**
That's enough for me. I'm done.
**[19:37] Gambler A**
Hey, you gonna just win and run?
**[19:39] Soji**
Can it! You guys were just
waiting to ride my coattails!
**[19:43] Soji**
What kinda gamblers are you?!
**[19:44] Gambler A**
Say what?!
**[19:50] Soji**
What the hell was that?
**[19:52] Soji**
Why's the nun from the Chapel
throwing the bones at a dice game?
**[19:59] Soji**
Did something happen to Boss Usui?
**[20:02] Nun**
You were on such a roll. What's the problem?
**[20:07] Nun**
Did you drop the tools of your trade?
**[20:10] Nun**
Then why don't I...
**[20:12] Nun**
give you mine?
**[20:14] Soji**
What are you doing?!
**[20:27] Soji**
Damn. Of all the cheap little tricks...
**[20:32] Nun**
How lucky you are.
**[20:34] Nun**
Keep this up, and in a month,
you'll have made a fortune.
**[20:38] Soji**
Gimme those back, damn it!
**[20:41] Soji**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[20:55] Soji**
So a nun from the Chapel's here
just to make me look a fool?!
**[21:00] Nun**
Consider it a deposit.
**[21:01] Soji**
For what?
**[21:03] Soji**
If this is the usual business,
just hand some bitten gold to the boss!
**[21:07] Nun**
That's not an option anymore.
**[21:09] Soji**
Don't tell me...
**[21:11] Soji**
Is the boss...
**[21:12] Nun**
That will depend on you.
**[21:15] Nun**
Why does Usui Yuen harbor Kurima Raizo?
**[21:18] Soji**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[21:20] Nun**
Don't play dumb.
**[21:22] Nun**
Kurima Raizo was supposed to have been
killed at Tsurumaru Castle Town in Satsuma.
**[21:29] Soji**
Yeah, that's right. But the boss didn't do it.
**[21:32] Nun**
Why not?
**[21:34] Soji**
How the hell should I know?!
**[21:36] Nun**
Then find out. Before every gambling den
in the city closes its doors to you.
**[21:40] Soji**
You want me to snitch for you?
**[21:43] Nun**
You already took the money.
**[21:45] Soji**
You forced it into my hands!
**[21:54] Soji**
What the hell?
**[21:57] Soji**
What's going on with the boss
and that bastard, Raizo?

Aren't you going to shoot?

Don't talk, Sute. It's distracting.

Sorry.

**[02:35] Sign**
Taishin
**[02:39] Gerald**
What progress has been made on
the matter with Usui Yuen's group?
**[02:45] Nun**
I don't know why you're being so indirect.
**[02:48] Nun**
If you can't wait for Shishido's
revengers to deal with them,
**[02:52] Nun**
why not just send some of your own?
**[02:56] Gerald**
They are a group of talented individuals.
Their loss would be sorely missed.
**[03:02] Gerald**
Some of them may have their quirks...
**[03:04] Gerald**
But that actually only makes them
more useful in the right circumstances.
**[03:09] Gerald**
Especially given the times ahead.
**[03:14] Gerald**
Once the opium is flowing in Nagasaki,
**[03:17] Gerald**
the entire country will,
in time, be brought low by it.
**[03:21] Gerald**
The greedy English will be
unable to resist the temptation,
**[03:24] Gerald**
and the world will fall into disorder.
**[03:27] Gerald**
And so, the dream of Shimabara
will finally come to pass.
**[03:30] Nun**
And by that, you mean the creation of God's
kingdom in Kyushu, which you would rule over?
**[03:36] Gerald**
Of course not! My only wish
is the revival of my faith.
**[03:42] Gerald**
You all may choose the
ruler at your discretion.
**[03:45] Gerald**
More influence for the English heretics...
What more could you ask for?
**[03:53] Gerald**
"Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's,
**[03:55] Gerald**
and unto God the things that are God's."
**[04:09] Jinkuro**
I've dug up about as much
as I'm gonna be able to, man.
**[04:12] Jinkuro**
How's your "fishing" going?
**[04:15] Yuen**
They're being very cautious.
**[04:17] Jinkuro**
With the Satsuma sweet
potato as bait, I bet they are!
**[04:19] Jinkuro**
Maybe I'd be better off following
Sakata's lead and sucking up to Shishido.
**[04:23] Yuen**
That's the thing.
**[04:25] Yuen**
Smuggling opium is a capital crime.
**[04:27] Yuen**
Even as the general overseer
of the Nagasaki Trade Union,
**[04:30] Yuen**
if he were exposed,
he wouldn't escape being executed.
**[04:33] Jinkuro**
Even Sakata considered busting Shishido
and swiping the opium out from under him.
**[04:41] Yuen**
But Shishido approached Sakata with a deal
because he was confident he wouldn't.
**[04:46] Jinkuro**
And if the Imperial court
is just gonna stand by...
**[04:52] Yuen**
If they can recover the
opium that was lost in Qing,
**[04:56] Yuen**
the English won't care if it's
Satsuma's chief financial officer
**[04:59] Yuen**
or the general overseer of the
trade union doing the deal.
**[05:02] Jinkuro**
Still, moving the junk to and from
their turf would be way too obvious.
**[05:10] Yuen**
Which would mean...
**[05:15] Teppa**
This fog isn't doing us any favors.
**[05:18] Yuen**
Things haven't gone much better on my end.
**[05:20] Yuen**
Did you need something?
**[05:23] Teppa**
Well, actually...
**[05:26] Soji**
Sorry, boss, but I'm the guy
who needs to talk to you.
**[05:35] Soji**
There's something I've been
meaning to check with you.
**[05:37] Soji**
The whole reason we went to
Satsuma is because Hirata Genshin,
**[05:42] Soji**
that old dude Raizo killed,
bit some gold before he croaked, right?
**[05:47] Yuen**
This seems sudden. What brought it on?
**[05:51] Soji**
Big brain stuff ain't
exactly my bag, boss man.
**[05:55] Soji**
So I'm gonna do a full rundown,
if you don't mind.
**[05:58] Soji**
Well? Is that right?
**[06:00] Yuen**
Yes. It certainly is.
**[06:04] Soji**
But after Raizo killed Matsumine,
you had Nio ring the bell.
**[06:10] Soji**
Who was that for?
**[06:14] Soji**
It couldn't have been for the Hirata guy.
He was long dead by then.
**[06:20] Soji**
So... who else was there?
**[06:24] Soji**
And there's another thing.
**[06:26] Soji**
The fiancée Raizo's so torn up
about had a hairpin...
**[06:31] Soji**
You made it, didn't you?
I've seen you handling it before.
**[06:36] Yuen**
That's right. It was something
I made at Hirata-sama's request.
**[06:42] Yuen**
It was going to be his gift to
Yui-san, Kurima-san's fiancée.
**[06:48] Soji**
That's the part I don't get.
**[06:50] Soji**
From what Raizo's told me,
she was wearing it.
**[06:55] Soji**
That'd mean someone went all
the way to Satsuma to deliver it.
**[07:01] Soji**
Isn't that right?
**[07:03] Teppa**
Maybe Hirata-dono had a courier
deliver it before he died?
**[07:07] Soji**
Yeah? Is that right?
**[07:10] Soji**
You really gonna go with that?
**[07:14] (Flashback) Genshin**
I'm sure Yui will love this.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Genshin**
Though it might be a bit fancy
for a country girl from Satsuma.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Yuen**
I've heard that your mission
is a very dangerous one.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Yuen**
If you want to ensure that gift is received,
please make sure you return home safely.
**[07:35] (Flashback) Genshin**
It seems my return becomes
ever more imperative...
**[07:41] (Flashback) Genshin**
These "revengers" you've spoken of...
**[07:45] (Flashback) Genshin**
Would they accept a conditional
offer if it came to that?
**[07:50] (Flashback) Yuen**
That's a rather dour joke to make.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Genshin**
There is an assassin coming for me.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Genshin**
Most likely, a very fierce one.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Genshin**
But my killer is of little concern.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Genshin**
The grudge I want to engrave is against those
responsible for smuggling opium into Japan.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Genshin**
Now, could a koban carry my vendetta
all the way to distant Satsuma?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Yuen**
It would reach the ends of the earth.
**[08:29] Yuen**
I gave it to her.
**[08:32] Yuen**
I spoke to her in person,
and delivered her father's memento.
**[08:36] Soji**
That sounds like you, all right.
**[08:39] Soji**
So how was she? Was she a weepy mess
after her old man got cut down?
**[08:50] (Flashback) Yui**
So these "revenger" people...
will avenge my father?
**[08:57] (Flashback) Yuen**
Gold engraved with Hirata-dono's vendetta
in his final moments is in their hands.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Yuen**
It won't be long before Matsumine Jonoshin,
the chief financial officer of Satsuma,
**[09:10] (Flashback) Yuen**
is punished for what he has done,
so that the bell may toll for your father.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Yui**
Father...
**[09:19] (Flashback) Yui**
But Matsumine-sama...
**[09:21] (Flashback) Yui**
Matsumine wouldn't have
been able to leave Satsuma.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Yui**
So who was it that
actually killed my father?
**[09:29] (Flashback) Yuen**
Right now, all I know for certain
is that his name is Kurima Raizo.
**[09:53] (Flashback) Yui**
It can't be...
**[09:54] (Flashback) Yuen**
You know him?
**[09:57] (Flashback) Yui**
He... He's my...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Yui**
He was going to marry me! Why?!
**[10:06] (Flashback) Yuen**
Then Hirata-sama was
slain by his son-in-law?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Yui**
Damn you...
**[10:22] (Flashback) Yui**
Damn you, Kurima Raizo.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Yui**
Was this what you wanted all along?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Yui**
He said he'd give up the Kurima name
to inherit the Hirata house...
**[10:34] (Flashback) Yui**
He said he would give
his life to protect me!
**[10:40] (Flashback) Yui**
Underneath it all, was he laughing
at me and my father this entire time?!
**[10:48] (Flashback) Yui**
Damn him! Damn him, damn him, damn him!
**[10:59] (Flashback) Yuen**
If he does serve Matsumine,
**[11:02] (Flashback) Yuen**
I'm sure the blade of revenge
will fall on him, as well.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Yui**
Please kill him.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Yui**
That man... Kurima Raizo...
**[11:17] (Flashback) Yui**
No matter where he goes,
**[11:20] (Flashback) Yui**
hunt him to the ends of the earth
and make sure that he pays.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Yui**
If my father's vendetta will punish Matsumine,
let mine punish Kurima Raizo!
**[11:32] (Flashback) Yui**
How could I ever let that man live?!
**[11:37] (Flashback) Yui**
Please! I'm begging you!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Yuen**
Consider it done.
**[11:52] Soji**
Well, she hated Raizo
real bad, that's for sure.
**[11:56] Yuen**
When I learned the truth,
I thought to return the coin.
**[12:03] Yuen**
But...
**[12:05] Soji**
She was already dead, meaning you can't
give it back, and you can't kill Raizo, either.
**[12:11] Soji**
But the truth is, you took
pity on that poor bastard.
**[12:17] Soji**
And look where it got us.
**[12:19] Soji**
All he cares about is squaring
up this opium business.
**[12:22] Soji**
He starts all this crap with Chinatown,
the Nagasaki Trade Union, the Chapel...
**[12:27] Soji**
And now, because of his beef,
**[12:30] Soji**
it's gotten so bad, we can't even
walk around outside anymore.
**[12:35] Soji**
Y'know, I'm wondering if we're
better off doing this one over.
**[12:38] Teppa**
After the Shishido business
is taken care of, you mean?
**[12:42] Soji**
That makes no difference.
**[12:43] Soji**
We're revengers, and we've
got bitten gold right here.
**[12:47] Soji**
Who cares when the job gets done?
**[12:51] Teppa**
Could you really do it, though?
**[12:54] Teppa**
You've seen firsthand how much
he regrets what happened.
**[12:59] Soji**
Are you suggesting we've never killed
anyone over a misunderstanding
**[13:03] Soji**
or for something they didn't deserve?
**[13:05] Soji**
Maybe there was some
dirtbag who had a sick mom.
**[13:09] Soji**
Maybe they felt bad about what they did!
**[13:12] Soji**
Hell, maybe one of them turned over
a new leaf and became an artist!
**[13:18] Soji**
But once we accept a piece of bitten gold,
we can't act like it never happened.
**[13:26] Raizo**
I am surprised.
**[13:27] Raizo**
I had thought you were not
interested in this matter.
**[13:31] Soji**
The boss told me to keep an eye
on you in case you go nuts.
**[13:36] Soji**
As if I'd actually want to be stuck
with you on a nice day like this.
**[13:41] Raizo**
I am a poor fit for any sort of subterfuge.
**[13:45] Raizo**
But if I walk around in broad daylight
like this, they have to pay attention.
**[13:50] Raizo**
Which allows Nio more freedom.
**[13:53] Soji**
You saw Liu get shot, didn't you?
**[13:56] Soji**
That bullet came outta nowhere, made no
sound, and didn't leave so much as a clue.
**[14:01] Soji**
So don't come crying to me if
you get gunned down in the street.
**[14:05] Raizo**
If that happens, I leave it in your hands.
**[14:08] Soji**
No way in hell am I avenging you.
**[14:11] Raizo**
I do not matter.
**[14:13] Raizo**
But Liu bit a coin.
**[14:17] Raizo**
And to revengers, bitten gold
is a sworn oath, is it not?
**[14:24] Soji**
Yeah.
**[14:25] Soji**
It is.
**[14:28] Soji**
Bitten gold is a guarantee.
**[14:42] Soji**
Bastard—
**[14:43] Raizo**
We must be careful. They are here.
**[14:51] Soji**
Wait, did they hit you?
**[14:54] Raizo**
It is only a flesh wound.
**[14:57] Raizo**
Are you all right?
**[14:59] Soji**
Damn it. You're always like this.
**[15:03] Kazuya**
Well? Any movement?
**[15:06] Tsute**
No, none that I noticed.
**[15:08] Kazuya**
I figured.
**[15:10] Kazuya**
If they'd made a move,
you'd be dead by now.
**[15:14] Kazuya**
But now I'm wondering where the
others are and what they're up to...
**[15:28] Yuen**
A ship has been seen acting suspiciously.
**[15:32] Yuen**
It sets out at night and returns before dawn.
**[15:36] Jinkuro**
Which means it can't go too far.
**[15:40] Jinkuro**
It's been so long, they might have forgotten,
**[15:44] Jinkuro**
but when the English
first took root in Nagasaki,
**[15:47] Jinkuro**
they slapped together this
ridiculous lighthouse off the coast.
**[15:51] Yuen**
And if the trade union trespassed on their
territory, it'd be a serious transgression.
**[15:56] Jinkuro**
You say that, but if push comes to shove,
they can just play dumb.
**[16:00] Jinkuro**
Which makes it the ideal hiding place.
**[16:03] Jinkuro**
Though maybe one that's a bit too obvious.
**[16:06] Jinkuro**
What are the odds it's a trap?
**[16:08] Yuen**
I've sent someone to take a look.
**[16:10] Jinkuro**
You never miss a beat, huh?
**[16:22] Yotaro**
Man...
**[16:23] Yotaro**
Having such a generous client sure is sweet.
**[16:26] Yotaro**
Maybe I should take the boat
for myself and give piracy a shot?
**[16:40] Yotaro**
What's got you so curious?
**[16:42] Yotaro**
We've been back and forth to
this island plenty, haven't we?
**[16:46] Nio**
Sorry, I'm actually new...
**[16:51] Yotaro**
Guess that explains how soft
your hands are for a sailor.
**[16:56] Yotaro**
Whoa, there!
**[16:59] Yotaro**
Aw, come on! Let's have some more fun!
**[17:05] Yotaro**
Where'd that come from?
**[17:12] Sailor**
Do we give chase?
**[17:13] Yotaro**
Too much trouble.
**[17:15] Yotaro**
Their whole gang will be back soon enough.
**[17:18] Yotaro**
We might as well prepare the party.
**[17:34] Sada**
And this is what they
take photographs with?
**[17:37] Sada**
Very impressive.
**[17:39] Shishido**
Isn't it just? Depicting the rage,
frustration, and sorrow inside someone...
**[17:44] Shishido**
It used to take heaven-sent
talent to capture such things,
**[17:49] Shishido**
but not with one of these devices.
**[17:53] Shishido**
In time, I'd love to have a number of them.
**[17:56] Shishido**
Consider this girl's parents and siblings.
**[18:00] Shishido**
How would they react
to seeing her like this?
**[18:04] Sada**
You really do have refined tastes.
**[18:07] Shishido**
So how can I help you today?
**[18:10] Sada**
I'm sorry to inform you that the rats
have managed to sniff out the island.
**[18:16] Shishido**
Oh, finally. I was actually
hoping they'd find it sooner.
**[18:20] Sada**
Then...
**[18:21] Shishido**
Yes, I'm sure it'll make
a fine location for a hunt.
**[18:25] Shishido**
Can you wipe out all the rats at once for me?
**[18:29] Shishido**
Oh, dear.
**[18:31] Sada**
Consider it done.
**[18:45] Yuen**
Teppa didn't know what to make of it.
**[18:48] Yuen**
He seemed shocked that you made such
good use of these in such a short time.
**[18:53] Raizo**
I appreciate you bringing them.
**[18:55] Yuen**
Tonight's revenge will be
be a rather laborious one.
**[18:59] Yuen**
We should all be as prepared as we can be.
**[19:03] Raizo**
Forgive me.
**[19:05] Yuen**
What's wrong?
**[19:07] Raizo**
I dragged all of you into this matter.
**[19:12] Raizo**
It is only natural that Soji
would think to get rid of me.
**[19:19] Yuen**
I see you've kept working on your art.
**[19:25] Raizo**
It happens before I even think.
**[19:29] Raizo**
It appears my behavior is the same,
whether with a sword or a brush.
**[19:36] Yuen**
But there's a big difference.
**[19:41] Yuen**
There is something other than
a sword that you can grab hold of.
**[19:46] Yuen**
I thought, after losing your status, you'd still
only be able to live by wielding a sword...
**[19:52] Yuen**
That was why I invited you
to become a revenger.
**[19:58] Yuen**
But you've found a new way of life.
**[20:03] Raizo**
Living... Am I truly allowed to do that?
**[20:08] Yuen**
God will forgive you.
**[20:14] Yuen**
The only question that remains is
whether you can forgive yourself.

**[00:06] Laborer A**
What do you suppose is in these boxes?
**[00:10] Laborer A**
What needs moving to an
island like this at this hour?
**[00:12] Laborer B**
I'll tell you this much: there's definitely
something shady about the ship's crew.
**[00:16] Laborer C**
Don't think about it. There's some
stuff you're better off not knowing.
**[00:23] Teppa**
Jump into the water if you don't want to die!
**[00:27] Laborer A**
What?
**[00:30] Teppa**
Move it!
**[00:50] Nio**
Looks like there's a lot of people here.
Wanna come back later?
**[00:54] Yuen**
Kurima-san and the others
already have their hands full.
**[00:58] Yuen**
We'll simply have to get
a little rougher tonight.
**[03:03] Soji**
I don't see the other crew.
**[03:05] Teppa**
I wonder where they're watching us from.
**[03:08] Raizo**
All we can do is proceed.
**[03:11] Raizo**
We know where the opium is hidden, yes?
**[03:21] Yotaro**
What? Only three of them?
**[03:24] Yotaro**
You sure your dumb ass didn't miss a few?
**[03:27] Sute**
I made sure.
**[03:28] Sute**
There really are only three.
**[03:31] Kazuya**
That means the others must have
gone to Shishido-sama's place.
**[03:35] Sada**
They're really taking us lightly.
**[03:37] Sada**
That's gonna guarantee they meet
some rather unpleasant deaths.
**[03:49] Nio**
Gotta admit, taking the direct
approach for a change...
**[03:54] Nio**
is really fun, Yuen!
**[04:04] Servant D**
Monster!
**[04:27] Servant D**
Damn you...
**[05:03] Soji**
I bet that bastard's aiming
at us from up there.
**[05:07] Soji**
What now?
**[05:09] Raizo**
We let him fire a shot.
**[05:17] Soji**
This is a dice roll. It'll be odds or evens.
**[05:20] Soji**
Let's see which of us is luckier.
**[05:25] Raizo**
Understood.
**[05:27] Soji**
In that case...
**[05:28] Soji**
Game on!
**[05:34] Teppa**
Steady as she goes...
**[05:40] Kazuya**
One down.
**[05:43] Soji**
Doc!
**[05:44] Raizo**
Soji!
**[05:49] Yotaro**
You just *had* to get in the way!
**[05:51] Raizo**
Teppa-dono!
**[05:58] Soji**
Doc!
**[06:02] Yotaro**
There you go! Good thinking!
**[06:05] Yotaro**
Stay on me, or you'll get
an extra hole in your head!
**[06:13] Soji**
Raizo!
**[06:15] Yotaro**
Dumbass! You should've—
**[06:23] Soji**
No one with half a brain cheats
the same way twice, loser.
**[06:28] Kazuya**
Good work.
**[06:43] Teppa**
Imagine only being able
to shoot in a straight line...
**[06:46] Teppa**
Guns seem so inconvenient.
**[06:50] Yotaro**
Damn it...
**[06:51] Soji**
I'll take care of Doc!
**[06:53] Soji**
Go finish this!
**[06:56] Raizo**
Please do.
**[07:09] Sada**
Damn. Young folk these days
really are useless, aren't they?
**[07:15] Raizo**
It's you!
**[07:16] Sada**
Seems we were fated to
end up like this, huh?
**[07:32] Nio**
Mine now!
**[08:19] Yuen**
We should get going, Nio.
**[08:22] Nio**
I'm sorry you got mixed up in this.
**[08:26] Sada**
As I'm sure you're aware,
**[08:28] Sada**
the merchandise you're looking for
is in the caves up above us.
**[08:33] Sada**
But if you want to get there,
**[08:35] Sada**
you will have to beat me.
**[08:38] Sada**
Question is, can your famous Jigen-ryu
close the gap faster than I can draw my blade?
**[08:46] Sada**
Why don't we find out?
**[09:11] Sada**
That was certainly a fancy trick.
Where'd you learn it?
**[09:17] Raizo**
If it had been Liu, he would have cut off
your wagging tongue along with your head.
**[09:21] Sada**
Oh, the unfortunate Chinese fellow.
**[09:24] Sada**
I'd forgotten all about him.
**[09:26] Sada**
It's a downside of getting older, you know?
**[10:09] Sada**
I've got this won, unless you
have more tricks up your sleeve.
**[10:14] Sada**
If you don't, I'm ready
to hear your last words.
**[10:19] Raizo**
You said that whether
you use a sword or a coin,
**[10:22] Raizo**
the end result is the same: you take a life.
**[10:25] Raizo**
If that is true, why are you seeking revenge?
**[10:29] Sada**
You've got a mind like a steel trap.
**[10:31] Sada**
I'm not sure I understand the question.
**[10:33] Sada**
We accept money in exchange for killing.
**[10:36] Sada**
Our line of work is the most
honest way of life there is.
**[10:40] Raizo**
Revenge is not bought with money,
but with the grudge carved into it!
**[10:49] Sada**
Are you being serious?
**[10:51] Raizo**
We revengers have come here to honor the
vendetta that was bitten into gold by Liu!
**[10:59] Sada**
Even a monkey or a dog can chew on a coin.
**[11:03] Raizo**
It is time you felt the wrath of
those whose lives you have ruined!
**[11:16] Sada**
What the hell is wrong with you?
**[11:19] Sada**
How does both of us dying profit anyone?!
**[11:22] Raizo**
Financial matters have
never been my strong suit.
**[11:27] Sada**
And you call yourself a revenger?
**[11:30] Sada**
You're just some stray mutt
looking for a place to die!
**[11:35] Raizo**
Kurima Raizo is prepared to die this day.
**[11:42] Sada**
Hah.
**[11:43] Sada**
Well, *I* kill people to make a living,
you washed-up samurai!
**[11:47] Sada**
Feel free to slice open your own belly!
**[11:50] Raizo**
You dare to flee?
**[11:51] Sada**
Sute!
**[12:26] Sada**
Well, the kid's named Sute, like "sutegoma,"
a sacrificial pawn, so I'd say it's fitting.
**[12:32] Raizo**
I have come...
**[12:34] Sada**
And now, time to make myself scarce.
**[12:36] Raizo**
...for revenge!
**[12:49] Sada**
I'm getting too old for this shit.
**[13:18] Yuen**
Why didn't you flee?
**[13:21] Shishido**
In the face of this masterpiece?
**[13:24] Shishido**
It's just as I thought. Usui Yuen's
true talent isn't lacquering gold,
**[13:30] Shishido**
but giving rise to death and destruction.
**[13:34] Shishido**
The sun will rise soon.
**[13:37] Shishido**
I would love to make a record
of this scene for posterity.
**[13:42] Yuen**
I don't think you'll be
around to witness this dawn.
**[13:46] Shishido**
But why?
**[13:47] Yuen**
You're asking why?
**[13:49] Shishido**
I can make your dream come true.
**[13:53] Shishido**
Because I'm the only person
who understands you.
**[13:57] Shishido**
One look at this garden tells me
all I need to know about your artistry.
**[14:02] Shishido**
You want to turn the
whole world into a living hell.
**[14:08] Yuen**
All sinners will eventually
meet suitable judgment.
**[14:14] Shishido**
But you can never deliver
that judgment all by yourself.
**[14:19] Shishido**
Which is why I'll entrust you
with my opium supply.
**[14:24] Shishido**
Then you can fill Nagasaki...
**[14:26] Shishido**
no, the whole world with
the cries of the damned.
**[14:32] Yuen**
And you would simply take your leave?
**[14:35] Shishido**
That's right. The two of us, the only ones
left standing here, would be free to go.
**[14:41] Yuen**
All men are sinners. And there is no
place beyond the reach of judgment
**[14:46] Yuen**
for them to sit and bear witness
to the ways of the fallen world.
**[14:53] Shishido**
Well, that's rather a boring answer.
**[14:57] Shishido**
I suppose I'll have a monopoly on hell, then.
**[15:10] Nio**
There!
**[15:17] Yuen**
Before the eyes of holy
Saint Mary, full of grace,
**[15:21] Yuen**
for your sins and your misdeeds,
**[15:25] Yuen**
repent!
**[15:47] Nio**
Come here!
**[16:16] Jirobei**
And this... is the leg.
**[16:19] Tarokichi**
The leg?
**[16:20] Jirobei**
Yeah, the leg!
**[16:21] Tarokichi**
Looks good.
**[16:29] Hana**
Stupid Soji! Where have
you been this whole time?!
**[16:34] Tarokichi**
It's Soji.
**[16:36] Jirobei**
Soji's back.
**[16:39] Soji**
Come on, kid. That's enough of that.
**[16:45] Hana**
Where's Raizo-san?
**[16:48] Soji**
Well...
**[16:50] Soji**
He's actually...
**[16:53] Yuen**
The vendetta engraved on
Liu's coin has been fulfilled.
**[16:59] Gerald**
Then peace will return to
Nagasaki, if only for a time.
**[17:05] Gerald**
But never forget, the day
of judgment is ever nigh.
