[00:05] ---
I take it you are Kunai Maekawa,
founder of the Chuetsu-ryu.
[00:10] ---
I would like to challenge you.
[00:15] ---
I am Raijuta Isurugi!
[00:17] ---
I am truly concerned
about the future of swordsmanship!
[00:25] ---
Cloudy eyes
that I cannot see deeply into...
[00:28] ---
but he is strong!
[00:36] ---
What do you want from me, that you do?
[00:39] ---
How do you think
swordsmanship should be today?
[00:42] ---
Don't you think it is spineless?
[00:45] ---
Don't you feel it is scant
and too delicate?
[00:48] ---
My style is Shinko-ryu.
[00:50] ---
I seek to fulfill the great deed of
restoring swordsmanship in its name.
[00:55] ---
My desire is the eradication
of the over 500 swordsmanship styles.
[01:02] ---
So I see.
[01:04] ---
In that case, you and I don't get along
with each other, that we don't.
[01:09] ---
You think nothing of it,
even if swordsmanship
[01:12] ---
will fall to ruin
unless something is done?
[01:15] ---
I am a swordsman myself,
even if not much of one.
[01:18] ---
I do have feelings
of lamenting the future of swordsmanship.
[01:21] ---
However, if the future is one
where murderous swords thrive,
[01:25] ---
I would gladly decline.
[01:29] ---
I see.
[01:30] ---
So you are not in agreement
to my grand plan.
[01:35] ---
Then, as of this moment, you are an enemy!
[03:17] ---
EPISODE 16: THE IDEAL MAN
[03:32] ---
This is the same technique you used
to break the floor at Maekawa Dojo.
[03:37] ---
Secret Sword: Matoi-Izuna!
[03:39] ---
This is a technique I revived
from a book of ancient sword art secrets!
[03:45] ---
Amazing! As I expected of you, sir!
[03:48] ---
You cannot win against me
by simply running away!
[03:57] ---
A reverse-blade sword...
[04:00] ---
As this sword shows, I have forbidden
myself from murderous swords.
[04:08] ---
Now that I have deemed you an enemy,
I will make sure to crush you.
[04:21] ---
For now, things have settled down.
[04:25] ---
Let's go home.
[04:30] ---
- Oh.
- Oh.
[04:31] ---
I won't ever forgive you guys!
[04:34] ---
Yeah, I get it. We're sorry,
so don't get so pissed, kiddo.
[04:38] ---
Don't pat me like that!
[04:40] ---
You gagged him and tied him to a tree?
[04:43] ---
Sanosuke did it.
[04:45] ---
You hear that? I'll make sure
to cut you with my secret technique!
[04:49] ---
Shut up, already!
[04:51] ---
What?
[04:53] ---
If you got the energy to whine like that,
[04:55] ---
don't just follow that big lug around,
and come to the dojo alone!
[04:59] ---
If you do, I'll take you on!
[05:02] ---
But with a bamboo sword!
[05:14] ---
I came here like I promised!
[05:17] ---
You know... what time do you think it is?
[05:20] ---
You never set a time!
[05:22] ---
Now challenge me!
[05:27] ---
I'll settle the score with you!
[05:29] ---
Brace yourself!
[05:31] ---
Hey, Kaoru, can you be the ref?
[05:35] ---
Then, first match.
[05:37] ---
You got no spirit at all!
[05:38] ---
I can't take on a challenge like that!
[05:40] ---
Don't yell into my ear!
[05:42] ---
You awake yet, ugly hag?
[05:44] ---
I am! And did you
just call me ugly hag again?
[05:45] ---
Challenge me!
[05:46] ---
Listen up!
[05:46] ---
- But you are an ugly hag!
- Huh?
[05:48] ---
KAMIYA KASSHIN-RYU
[05:49] ---
First match!
[05:51] ---
All right, bring it on!
[05:53] ---
Oh?
[05:55] ---
Oro?
[05:57] ---
Aren't you holding the bamboo sword weird?
[06:01] ---
Your right hand
should be above the left hand...
[06:05] ---
and the left hand
should be gripping the end of the hilt.
[06:08] ---
I-I only train on real swords!
[06:13] ---
That's why I don't know
how to hold a bamboo sword—
[06:15] ---
How you hold a real sword is no different
from a bamboo one, that it isn't.
[06:21] ---
Is it possible that you've never
actually done any swordsmanship?
[06:27] ---
I see. That's why you came
right when I woke up to get an easy win.
[06:33] ---
There's no contest.
[06:37] ---
Raijuta won't train with you?
[06:40] ---
He can't help it.
He's busy trying to raise Shinko-ryu.
[06:46] ---
He always says Shinko-ryu is a big thing
for Japanese swordsmanship.
[06:52] ---
So I can't be selfish and get in his way.
[07:01] ---
There's nothing you can do, I guess.
[07:02] ---
KAMIYA KASSHIN-RYU
[07:03] ---
All right. Since you came all
the way here, I'll teach you for today.
[07:07] ---
Huh?
[07:09] ---
All right, first off,
how to hold a bamboo sword.
[07:12] ---
You hook your left pinkie halfway
down the end of the hilt like this.
[07:18] ---
Why are you turning all red?
[07:19] ---
Sh-Shut up!
[07:21] ---
Yahiko, stop jeering!
[07:23] ---
Hmph!
[07:26] ---
Face! Face! Face! Face!
[07:30] ---
Face!
[07:31] ---
That's right! That's the spirit!
[07:33] ---
You're good, Yutaro.
[07:35] ---
Really?
[07:36] ---
Yes, really. You have potential.
[07:39] ---
I'm so happy!
[07:41] ---
A short break. Since nobody
has eaten anything this morning,
[07:45] ---
I made some rice balls, that I did.
[07:48] ---
Here, Yahiko.
[07:49] ---
Yeah.
[07:51] ---
Damn Kaoru. She's getting on his side.
[07:57] ---
Here, Miss Kaoru.
[07:59] ---
Thanks.
[08:02] ---
Yahiko is pouting, that he is.
[08:04] ---
Huh?
[08:07] ---
Sheesh, he's such a kid.
[08:10] ---
Yahiko!
[08:11] ---
What is it, ugly hag?
[08:12] ---
What?
[08:15] ---
Here you go, Mr. Yutaro.
[08:18] ---
I don't want any.
[08:20] ---
Sir said you were his enemy.
[08:23] ---
I won't accept any handouts from enemies.
[08:26] ---
Don't be so stubborn, that you shouldn't.
[08:28] ---
See, the old general,
Kenshin Uesugi, in the Sengoku Era
[08:32] ---
was said to have given salt
to the enemy general.
[08:44] ---
There we go.
[08:45] ---
Oh, don't sit next to me without asking!
[08:49] ---
How is it?
Is bamboo swordsmanship fun, that is?
[08:53] ---
It's only play to begin with.
Any play is sure to be fun.
[09:00] ---
But I can't become stronger
from just play.
[09:02] ---
Oro?
[09:04] ---
I want to become an invincible swordsman
like my mentor and put my father to shame.
[09:11] ---
Put your father to shame, that is?
[09:14] ---
Yes.
[09:16] ---
He ditched the pride of being a samurai
to become a merchant.
[09:19] ---
He's always got a fake smile,
bowing down left and right.
[09:22] ---
Not only that, but he's working hard
on his business selling katanas,
[09:25] ---
the soul of samurais, overseas.
[09:29] ---
I want to pound into him how a true
samurai lives with nothing but his sword.
[09:36] ---
He's just like Yahiko in having pride
of being a descendant of a samurai.
[09:41] ---
However, the wish to become stronger
comes from a completely opposite place.
[09:48] ---
Yutaro. If you don't mind, would you
like to train with us for a while?
[09:53] ---
What?
[09:55] ---
Let's put aside feelings of putting people
to shame or pounding into people.
[09:59] ---
You have to face your feelings
of wanting to learn swordsmanship first.
[10:04] ---
If you keep competing with Yahiko,
I'm sure you will become strong.
[10:08] ---
I see. That might be a good idea,
that it may.
[10:11] ---
Kenshin, Kaoru!
What are both of you thinking?
[10:14] ---
He's Raijuta's apprentice!
[10:17] ---
Heh. I get it.
[10:18] ---
Huh?
[10:20] ---
You must be afraid
of me getting stronger than you!
[10:24] ---
Idiot! That's totally not the case!
[10:26] ---
There's no way I'd lose against you!
[10:28] ---
I hit the mark!
[10:31] ---
You will start attending Kamiya Dojo?
[10:34] ---
I beg of you!
[10:41] ---
Well, that's fine.
[10:43] ---
Oh? Thank you very much!
[10:46] ---
They do say, "If you know the enemy
and know yourself,
[10:48] ---
you need not fear the result
of a hundred battles."
[10:50] ---
That's Sun Tzu's strategy!
[10:53] ---
Go get some experience learning the enemy.
[10:55] ---
Yes! Thank you very much!
[10:58] ---
I have received
my first teaching from him!
[11:01] ---
He has high hopes of me!
[11:09] ---
RUROUNI KENSHIN
[11:14] ---
So that boy's been coming
to the dojo every day ever since?
[11:18] ---
He's pretty passionate.
[11:20] ---
Yeah. He has opened up to Yahiko, too,
that he has.
[11:24] ---
Who you callin' a short monkey, cat eyes!
[11:27] ---
In the first place, you were saying
[11:28] ---
you weren't gonna train
in bamboo swordsmanship!
[11:30] ---
Bamboo swordsmanship is just for play!
[11:33] ---
I am here as a scout for my mentor's
upcoming battle with Kenshin Himura!
[11:38] ---
Scouting? He usually only
helps out with the chores.
[11:43] ---
Right. That surprised me, too,
[11:46] ---
such a master of the arts
helping out with chores.
[11:48] ---
Then stop coming here!
[11:50] ---
Hmph! I don't recall
ever letting you boss me around!
[11:53] ---
Opened up, you say.
[11:56] ---
Okay, okay! Enough arguing!
[12:00] ---
- Yahiko.
- Huh?
[12:01] ---
Yuta is going to train the Jump-in Face
today, so can you be the target?
[12:06] ---
Why me?
[12:08] ---
I'm too tall compared to him,
so it won't be good training.
[12:11] ---
Stop your grumbling, and put your mask on.
This is an order from the acting master!
[12:17] ---
Damn it!
[12:19] ---
Hurry on over.
[12:21] ---
I'll take on your weak-ass sword,
so be grateful.
[12:26] ---
Face!
[12:28] ---
Oh...
[12:29] ---
How is it?
[12:30] ---
This is surprising.
[12:33] ---
He may have more swordsmanship potential
than I had thought.
[12:38] ---
Face!
[12:40] ---
He was a total amateur that didn't
even know how to hold a bamboo sword.
[12:45] ---
I didn't think he'd improve this much
in such a short time.
[12:47] ---
Face!
[12:49] ---
He's not all talk!
[12:52] ---
Face!
[12:54] ---
But...
[12:55] ---
It really does piss me off if you
just keep pounding me for no reason!
[12:58] ---
What was that? I'll take you on!
[13:01] ---
- I'll make an attack, too!
- Bring it!
[13:01] ---
That's enough!
[13:05] ---
Ororo.
[13:07] ---
BEEF HOT-POT AND SAKE
AKABEKO RESTAURANT
[13:11] ---
Meals are really tasty after you exercise!
[13:15] ---
Hey, server over there,
I'd like another helping!
[13:19] ---
There's no rice here for you to eat!
[13:21] ---
What was that? I'm a customer!
[13:24] ---
Like I'd know!
I haven't acknowledged you as such!
[13:24] ---
You're not stopping them, that you aren't?
[13:26] ---
I don't care anymore.
[13:26] ---
What a cheeky employee! I'll show you!
[13:28] ---
Excuse me.
[13:29] ---
What was that? Bring it on!
[13:30] ---
Oh, Tsubame.
[13:32] ---
Is that Yahiko's friend?
[13:32] ---
I can take you on anytime!
[13:36] ---
Well, yeah, something like that.
[13:39] ---
They seem to be getting along really well.
[13:41] ---
We're arguing! What part of this
is getting along well?
[13:44] ---
You might as well be blind!
[13:46] ---
I-I'm sorry.
[13:47] ---
Yahiko! Don't scare Tsubame like that!
[13:51] ---
H-H-Hold on.
[13:52] ---
Please, use this.
[13:55] ---
Yuta is so kind!
[13:57] ---
Such a big difference
compared to a brat I know!
[14:01] ---
Damn it.
[14:03] ---
Hmph!
[14:05] ---
Yuta, this is only
if you're okay with it...
[14:09] ---
What is it?
[14:10] ---
Why don't you become one of our students?
[14:14] ---
How about it?
[14:15] ---
I think you'd go pretty far.
[14:18] ---
You can definitely become a swordsman
[14:19] ---
carrying on
Kamiya Kasshin-ryu with Yahiko.
[14:25] ---
I'm sorry.
[14:27] ---
Miss Kaoru,
you're an excellent instructor...
[14:30] ---
and I'm really glad you have
such high expectations for me.
[14:34] ---
And I can tell that Kenshin Himura
really is a powerful swordsman.
[14:40] ---
Though I hate bird head.
[14:43] ---
I have no intent on being liked by you.
[14:46] ---
I had made fun of bamboo swordsmanship,
[14:49] ---
but it was really interesting
once I tried it out.
[14:51] ---
Training at Kamiya Dojo really was fun.
[14:53] ---
But if I'm gonna become stronger,
I really want that...
[14:59] ---
under Mr. Raijuta.
[15:10] ---
The first night I met him
[15:12] ---
it was a night just like tonight.
[15:16] ---
It was right in front
of that jizo statue.
[15:19] ---
We were attacked by a horde of bandits.
[15:23] ---
Old man!
[15:24] ---
You can call for help, Mr. Tsukayama.
[15:29] ---
Though, on the outskirts
of a town like this,
[15:31] ---
I'm sure nobody will hear you.
[15:33] ---
Damn it!
[15:35] ---
I will give you as much money as you want!
So spare me my life!
[15:39] ---
Dad!
[15:40] ---
How pathetic.
[15:42] ---
Did you turn the pride
of a samurai into money
[15:44] ---
along with the sword on your belt?
[15:47] ---
Hey, aren't you gonna grovel
and beg for your life, too?
[15:51] ---
Give me a break!
I'm a Tokyo samurai,
[15:54] ---
Yutaro Tsuk—
[15:55] ---
Yutaro!
[15:57] ---
Don't try to act cool, kid.
[15:59] ---
Kids should be kids and mimic
what their parents do and grovel.
[16:05] ---
Right, Mr. Tsukayama?
[16:07] ---
Please! Anything but our lives!
[16:21] ---
It was just one blow.
[16:23] ---
That one blow ended everything.
[16:26] ---
The bandits scattered about
in all directions and ran away.
[16:30] ---
My mentor was truly invincible!
[16:34] ---
I really felt it that night.
[16:38] ---
Raijuta helping people out, huh?
[16:41] ---
That sounds like a big, fat lie.
[16:44] ---
Shut up, bird head!
[16:46] ---
Everyone has misconceptions about him
because he doesn't talk or show emotions.
[16:51] ---
That strength to rout everything else
in this world is my ideal.
[16:58] ---
If I can become as strong as him,
[17:00] ---
I wouldn't have to live
a pathetic life like my father.
[17:06] ---
Kenshin Himura...
[17:08] ---
you're going to fight him
at some point, right?
[17:11] ---
When you do, fight him fair and square
in a straight battle.
[17:17] ---
Understood.
[17:19] ---
That's what a battle between two men is—
[17:26] ---
Sir!
[17:31] ---
Sir?
[17:32] ---
An ambush from behind
on the streets at night, eh?
[17:35] ---
Looks like that facade of yours
is finally coming off.
[17:38] ---
You're wrong! That was just a greeting!
[17:41] ---
He wasn't really serious
about that at all!
[17:44] ---
Isn't that right, sir?
[17:47] ---
Sir...
[17:51] ---
Get away, Miss Kaoru, that you should.
[18:03] ---
This is just like me with my Zanbato.
[18:07] ---
No matter how much force it has,
it's useless if it doesn't connect.
[18:12] ---
Blinding attack!
[18:13] ---
That's dirty!
[18:14] ---
Sir!
[18:17] ---
That's not enough.
[18:19] ---
Ryuutsuisen!
[18:31] ---
Looks like I won't be able
to defeat you with Matoi-Izuna.
[18:39] ---
This was the ace up my sleeve,
but I have no choice!
[18:45] ---
Secret Sword: Tobi-Izuna!
[18:48] ---
What the...
[18:57] ---
Yutaro!
[18:59] ---
Stop the bleeding!
Get him to a doctor quick!
[19:01] ---
As long as it misses the vitals,
he won't die.
[19:07] ---
You idiot! Your own attack
caused injury to your apprentice!
[19:11] ---
Don't you get it?
[19:13] ---
Did you think I'd seriously
take such a kid under my wing?
[19:18] ---
What was that?
[19:20] ---
You must be aware that swordsmanship
doesn't make money these days.
[19:25] ---
However, in order to raise Shinko-ryu,
I need quite a sum as capital.
[19:30] ---
That kid is the son of my investor,
[19:33] ---
so I withstood his annoying nature
and pretended to be his master.
[19:38] ---
It's a shame I'm going to lose
my investor at this point,
[19:40] ---
especially since I staged a fake robbery
to get him.
[19:43] ---
Oh, well, there are
plenty of replacements.
[19:47] ---
Sir...
[19:50] ---
Right now, the first thing on my agenda
is to defeat you.
[19:53] ---
Here goes!
[19:54] ---
You just wait there a while.
[19:58] ---
I'm going to take Yutaro to a doctor.
[20:01] ---
I will take you on once that's settled.
[20:07] ---
All right.
[20:09] ---
You're finally serious about this.
[20:12] ---
Sheesh, this feather dude
doesn't realize what he actually did.
[20:18] ---
You finally touched upon the wrath
of the scariest man in this world.
[20:27] ---
OGUNI CLINIC
[20:30] ---
Whew.
[20:32] ---
Miss Megumi!
[20:33] ---
How is Yuta?
[20:35] ---
What in the world cut that boy?
[20:38] ---
He has such a clean, open wound,
but very little bleeding.
[20:43] ---
I've never seen anything like that before.
[20:45] ---
I don't know much myself.
[20:48] ---
Anyways, how is Yuta?
[20:49] ---
His life is not threatened.
[20:53] ---
However...
[20:55] ---
However?
[20:57] ---
The nerves and tendons are all slashed.
[21:01] ---
I'm sorry to say, but that kid
[21:03] ---
will never be able to perform
any swordsmanship again.
