Revenger
As master assassin Usui Yuen looks into a series of assassinations made on the grand samurai clan, the Satsuma, he encounters Kurima Raizo, member and survivor of one of the attacks. Together, they discover the true nature of these murders is bigger than over stolen resources. As they get closer to the truth, will they come out alive to exact revenge?

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,

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!

[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.

[16:37] Inohachi

[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

We know all about how you've

[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.

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

Oh, hell no!

Well, there's the matter

[07:39] Teppa
Remind me who's been covering

[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.

You know what? You're right.

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.

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.

Who does she think she's talking to?

[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.

[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!

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.

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?

Well, if isn't Han-Cho Kumo

[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!

Go.
[04:58] Gambler A
W-We're real sorry!

Anything come to mind?

Probably one of those "too many

Damn it all.

[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,

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.

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.

I didn't think you'd actually

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?

Out of respect for those eyes,
I'll let you choose.

badly they worked the samurai bastard over.

H-Hey!
[19:57] Guest
I'll examine the cup.
[20:02] Guest
What do you suppose that is?

We drink tea here leisurely

[20:15] Liu
My people's welfare is
supposed to be guaranteed
[20:17] Liu

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

But what else can I do?

No matter what has happened to you,
the Buddha will accept you.

How can I after all this?
[07:52] Seiku
There has to be a way.
[07:56] Ichinojo

[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...

There are more ways to take the
medicine than simply smoking it.

[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.

[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?

Your pseudonym, "Taishin"...

Oh, that...

[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.

Pub

Welcome.

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.

[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.

Wait, what?

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.

Yes, sir.

Ugh, this is so damn annoying.

Dumbass.

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...

[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.

[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.

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?

What's going on with the boss
and that bastard, Raizo?

[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

[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.
[17:17] Gerald
Now, regarding your next revenge...

You in there, Doc?
[17:25] Teppa
Sorry! Be with you in one moment!

Right... Right there! Harder!

Ow, ow, ow...
[17:33] Courtesean A
Oh, Isarizawa-sama!
[17:37] Nun
Can I pour you a drink?
[17:38] Isarizawa
Sure thing.
[17:39] Isarizawa
There we go.
[17:42] Isarizawa
You must be the new girl
everyone's talking about.
[17:47] Isarizawa
Those are some gorgeous eyes
you've got. Where are you from?
[17:52] Nun
I'm embarrassed to admit it,
[17:54] Nun
but I'm an orphan with no
memory of my parents' faces,
[17:57] Nun
so I couldn't even begin to guess where.
[18:04] Yuen
The samurai, Kurima Raizo, died in this place,
the victim of a criminal conspiracy.
[18:14] Teppa
Or so the story goes.
[18:16] Soji
Let's never cheat like this again, okay?

That look of indescribable
anguish on her face...
[19:44] Guest B
So beautiful yet so melancholic.
[19:46] Nio
Really? Let me see, too.
[19:52] Nio
What are you talking about?
He hasn't changed at all.
[19:55] Karikiya Owner
Not a fan, I take it?
[19:59] Guest A
Perhaps it's a little too
sophisticated for a child.
[21:42] Raizo
Yui...
