1:12
They cut us away, you that speak the
1:26
words. A tiger forced up the mountain
1:30
still bears teeth and will return twice as strong.
1:36
Well set you may approach. Clan Saito welcomes you recruit.
1:56
Are you from Azo or the mainland?
1:59
Born in Azo, forged in the South.
2:03
Ah, you're a woman. Is that a problem?
2:08
Lord Saito has a place for all in his vision for the North.
2:12
So long as you are loyal and you're in luck.
2:16
He has come to personally oversee our efforts.
2:20
Saito is here. Wait, I know your face.
2:25
You are the one they call the Ondio.
2:28
You murder the snake. Hurry up.
2:32
Let's see if spirits bleed. Move quietly.
2:42
I can ambush Saito. Stick to the grass, Stay out of
2:46
sight. When will we move against the
3:02
cloud? Multiply.
3:03
When Lord Saito leaves us ready. 2nd chapter Victory.
3:12
It will come once blood begins to flow.
3:15
It won't stop until Lord Saito. His name is Shogun.
4:54
None. Locked.
6:01
I'll need to find another way. I found you.
6:53
He's out of range. I need to follow, get close, a
7:00
crack in the walls. I can climb up the Cliff side
7:03
from there. I see you there.
7:42
What psycho will be? Something there, there she is.
9:35
This is going to hurt. For this.
11:58
I'll fight them. What's that?
12:00
There you are. Gunfire.
12:31
They have muskets. No.
12:57
Make an example bastard. Should we expect a dragon in
13:14
this way? They have other
13:16
responsibilities. My son's a fun way home and yet
13:22
I never seen her. Do you have children?
13:28
Nothing. Blessed.
13:30
You have not been curved. He's headed to the keep.
13:51
These are raw recruits. I should be careful.
14:45
Too hungry too. I wish I could train with a
15:32
sword. What's happening?
16:28
What the hell are you doing? No.
19:09
You mean they still haven't found her years ago?
19:15
Don't let the Saito hear you say that.
19:17
I know she's only a woman but more and more of the men are
19:22
falling victims. Shit.
19:30
Made it. My Lord, the female, I'm not
19:45
sure their presence sends the right message.
19:47
Our enemies. Would.
19:50
Say that the Shogun in the north, a woman, my message, a
19:59
warrior, second only to Rome. I do not care where my reference
20:07
comes from, who their fathers were or what's between their
20:09
legs. I am looking for passion and
20:12
loyalty. But to call some a peace peasant
20:15
saburai is an insult to who you All of us.
20:20
By the way, bodies are bodies. We have a war to win.
20:26
Without the only we cannot hope to hold the Ishikari plane.
20:30
His death is a humiliation that must be answered, and we will
20:59
wait. Impossible.
21:14
The swordsmith's daughter. I watched that tree burn.
21:20
How did you escape? The same way I survived every
21:26
battle I thought of killing you. Walk with me.
21:50
Life has not been kind to you, has it?
21:54
Little walk. Don't call me that.
21:59
Tell me, when you were fighting all those battles, did you ever
22:04
find a Lord willing to name you samurai?
22:07
No, I didn't. The Shogun's Matsumai don't want
22:12
warriors like you and me. They want dogs, men who can be
22:17
trained, made loyal. You're not different, only
22:23
instead of honor you promised people freedom to keep their
22:28
swords to become samurai. It's all bullshit to make them
22:33
serve you. Except the Matsumai would never
22:38
give a woman a sword. The Chauvin would say a wolf
22:47
cannot be tamed. He may be right, but I'm still
22:58
tempted to try. Let's see what you've learned,
23:12
little Wolf. Shut up.
23:58
Haven't done that? Stick draw your Cortana.
24:01
That would not be fair to you and would be literally as a
24:05
warrior. My Lord, that must be my our
24:10
time runs short little walk. Your technique is familiar.
24:17
How is Humve A? Lie.
24:20
Running like a cow. No.
26:29
Hold on, I've got you rest. Your lungs are filled with
26:38
smoke. Henbe, where is Saito?
26:43
Gone. He cut through more than a dozen
26:47
much of my to escape. How did the summer I even know
26:50
he was here? I told them I thought I was
26:55
helping you. He'll be more careful now.
27:03
I'll have to draw him out. Or you could live your life.
27:07
Answer Stop chasing death. So long as the your taste 6
27:16
breathe. My family will never know peace.
27:21
Dying will not bring them peace either.
27:26
I hope you find what you're looking for.
27:44
I was so close I should continue my hunt, the kittenes and Tashia
27:51
Ridge. This is a reputable business, I
28:15
assure you. I got my hands on new
28:17
merchandise. Fantastic toys.
28:22
I see your. Come on, boy.
28:59
Michael Brothers, this ought to be creeped in half.
29:01
That is the way of the order, Chief.
29:04
Yes, Master your staff. Can I help you?
29:49
I am Master Yoshida, but I'm not accepting any more students.
29:54
Too busy chasing down the Saito brothers.
29:58
I see we have something in common.
30:01
You must be the only O hunting them, just as you haunted the
30:05
only. You've heard of me?
30:07
Those names on your sash? It's a bold woman who wears her
30:11
enemies around her waist. And it's a bold warrior who
30:15
carries a giant sword on his back.
30:17
Or a foolish 1. We are both fools if we're at
30:21
war with the Yote 6. What did the Saito brothers do
30:25
to you? That requires trust, something
30:30
only my best students earn. Then teach me the way of the
30:33
Odachi. How hard can it be?
30:38
That depends on if you can lift it.
30:53
Why teach the O Dutchie? Anyone can wield the Catana with
30:57
a blade the size of a man. Makes it slow, dull.
31:01
Only in the wrong hands here. Try and pick it up
31:17
well. It's very large.
31:20
Come with me. With proper training, even the
31:24
largest enemies will beg for mercy.
31:27
Our new student thinks he can Best Master Yoshida.
31:29
Yo Dutchy weighs more than she does.
31:32
She will not last that day. Does the own Yo have a name?
31:46
Atsu? Ready.
31:47
Yo O Dutchy Atsu. We will begin with blocking to
31:52
help you become comfortable with the O Dutchy's weight.
32:00
A fine block, as firm as the mountain.
32:06
Your muscles are earned. Impressive.
32:10
Now break my guard with a heavy strike.
32:18
You are a force. Not bad.
32:24
You're still standing. So are you.
32:27
Men who come at me usually wind up dead.
32:30
Maybe someday now the real fun begins.
32:37
Or tomorrow you doubt our guest who wants to challenge her?
32:43
Or are you content to just talk? I'll teach her a lesson.
33:07
Please we yield. Who's next?
33:10
You're a quick study, Hatsu. Your swing is more confident,
33:15
unlike some of you who fight like my blind grandmother.
33:21
Master. Oh.
33:21
Scouts have returned. Master Yoshida, the Dragon and
33:30
the Spider's men have a camp up the Ridge, so close they won't
33:34
see title for long. There's a group on their way.
33:37
Now let them come and meet our braids.
33:40
What's my attention? The enemy draws near.
33:52
Utter a moment. Saito's sons are coming here.
33:56
Unlikely. So far they've only sent
33:59
soldiers. You should wait in the rear.
34:01
This is too much for your first day.
34:03
My first day I thought I'd say Gigada.
34:06
All right, if you're so eager. But you must remember the Odachi
34:10
is most effective against larger opponents.
34:13
But you should always face a catana with your own.
34:16
Show me what weapon to draw when fighting a swordsman.
34:21
Good. And if your enemy stands ahead
34:24
taller than you? Yes, the power of your Odachi
34:29
will overwhelm them. Saito's men are here.
34:36
The spider and the dragon demand blood for the humiliation they
34:39
have suffered because of you. If the pride was so wounded,
34:43
they should have come themselves.
34:45
But salute the power of your own Dutchie.
34:47
Why are we waiting now? She must face this trial alone.
35:00
I know this woman. She's beyond the old watch.
35:04
My. Victory is ours.
35:47
Not bad answer. I wasn't sure you were going to
35:50
survive. There are plenty of dead men in
35:53
Nazel who underestimated me. And I thought I was the cocky 1.
35:58
You still are. I let my blade do the talking.
36:03
Your braid needs more training. There's no time.
36:06
Your scout said the Saito brothers have men camped just at
36:09
the Ridge. My students need to rest.
36:12
But does their master need a nap?
36:17
Let's go. Arthur and I.
36:20
We're head off. Saito's men protect our home in
36:24
the way of the odachi. We won't fail you, Master
36:26
Yoshida. This way, Arthur.
36:29
How's that Odachi feel now? I almost forgot I was carrying
36:32
it. Tell me, what drives you to hunt
36:37
your taste 6 all on your own? Everyone else was taking too
36:41
long. And what about you?
36:43
How does a young Odachi master get stuck teaching?
36:47
Who else but the best to pass along their knowledge?
36:50
There's more to it than that. And you just decided to track
36:53
Saito's men for sport. I enjoy traveling.
36:56
Just as I love teaching. We could lie to each other all
36:59
day. Thanks.
37:00
For present conversation. I prefer no conversation.
37:04
Then I suppose I'll have to feel the silence.
37:08
Would you like to hear the complete history of Quran
37:11
Matsumaye or perhaps a song? No poetry.
37:17
We masters are supposed to love that.
37:22
More Dutchie, my love. No weapon more Gloria.
37:30
Stop, please, quietly inside those men ahead.
37:37
Some muskets we are falling behind so pick up the pace.
37:43
It's master your shit up. A good chance to put your
37:46
lessons to use. Try to keep up.
37:49
Don't. Make this
38:02
hurt. Keep going.
39:00
Help me up the ledge. Hurry.
39:07
I see why they call you the only all.
39:09
Superstition. Or it's the anger in your swing.
39:22
Lookout No. We put the pressure on them,
39:25
make the fight. Your head is mine
39:55
quickly. We need to get through that
39:57
gate. Do you always charge head first
40:07
into Bo hear fire like that? Get the job done.
40:10
Get your face brown off. Then I'll wear a mask.
40:13
Like our friends, the Saito brothers.
40:16
Back at the Dojo, one of their soldiers said you humiliated
40:19
them. They deserved far worse.
40:24
Careful, I hear movement at the time.
40:31
Wait more? Saito's Outlaws are up ahead.
40:34
Time for your next lesson. Now.
40:39
The best lessons come when death is near.
40:42
Use the O Dutchie size to your advantage while in a defensive
40:46
stance. Knock your opponent off balance,
40:49
then come in with a follow up attack.
40:52
Got it. Block, knock back and attack.
40:55
Don't forget it. I'd miss our pleasant
40:58
conversation. Now draw your odachi.
41:06
Do not put it away until you have mastered this technique.
41:16
Psycho dogs, your attack on my home failed.
41:20
Your masters won't be pleased. For the dragon, for the spider.
41:28
No, no, came back. That's it.
41:35
That's it. You can join in anytime.
41:57
One of them sliding down from the left.
42:40
Getting tired? We're not done yet.
42:52
Come on. Lock lock back the attack.
42:56
Simple but efficient. Help me up here.
43:15
Any lessons for this great master?
43:18
Yes, always be the first one up. Bears run fast.
43:26
Why does Clan Saito have it out for you?
43:29
I stole the Dragon's lover. She must have been a beautiful
43:33
woman and. The truth will ruin our present
43:36
conversation, as I suspect would your own secret.
43:41
It's a burden I've been carrying for a long.
43:44
Time when the odachi can lighten.
43:47
Maybe. When this threat has passed,
43:50
we'll talk. No time for a lesson.
44:01
We're easy targets. Sitting still, move, keeps
44:09
going. Don't.
44:14
Stop. Close the distance here they.
44:18
Are get together what fire on my own, My own on your head.
44:36
This is the land who died. Here
44:51
it comes, sure. The master of your death.
45:35
It's over. Nothing a giant sword couldn't
45:38
solve. Don't forget rushing into bohair
45:41
fire. Keeps them on their toes.
45:44
I think mine were blown off. So how about you tell me why the
45:48
dragon and spider want you dead? It's not the story I enjoy
45:54
telling, but you may be the one to set it right.
46:00
Lord Saito has two sons. The dragon, the eager to please,
46:06
first born, desperate to prove his worth, and the spider, a
46:11
Craven drunk whose decadence is outweighed only by his cruelty.
46:16
It was my duty to hunt them down.
46:21
Grand Matsumaya pursued the Saito brothers for a year.
46:25
I could not wait for the day we would back them into a corner.
46:29
Then that day came and we walked into a storm of gunfire. 100
46:36
Matsumaya fell to 40 muskets. A bloody massacre orchestrated
46:41
by Rod Saito's sons. When the the smoke cleared, the
46:49
spider proud the battlefield, executing the wounded samurai.
46:56
I held my breath and waited for the bullet that would end my
47:00
life. I felt the Spider's Shadow Fall
47:03
over me as he raised his pistol. I swung my oddity and nearly cut
47:09
him in two. As the spider screamed in agony.
47:15
I ran for my life and the Dragon's bullets followed.
47:19
One hit me in my leg. I didn't know this until later
47:23
when the Mata, my hero, pulled it out and told me the spider
47:26
survived. The dragon refused to leave his
47:31
brother's side until he recovered.
47:34
They had won the battle, but such a wound was considered a
47:37
humiliation. Lord Saito judged his sons
47:41
harshly, and in turn, the spider and the dragon have dedicated
47:46
themselves to my ruin. I had hoped Lord Matsumaya would
47:54
demand I go into exile for such failure.
47:58
Instead, he asked me to teach. So you came here?
48:03
By his orders, he knew Clan Saito would remain our sworn
48:07
enemy. Who better to train Matsumaya
48:10
how to fight them than one who had faced them?
48:14
And suffered greatly at their hand.
48:19
The Otay 6 murdered my family. I spent 16 years fighting in the
48:26
South. I came home for revenge and to
48:31
find peace. Both elusive goals.
48:36
I have 6 names on a list, every one of them a killer.
48:41
I'm working my way down. Perhaps you can strike a blow I
48:46
no longer can. Last I heard, the Dragon and
48:51
Spider were trading with the Russians in the north at their
48:54
father's bidding. And the other yote 6.
48:58
Where can I find them? The one called the Kitchener
49:01
hides further north in Teshio Ridge.
49:04
People who seek him out have a habit of disappearing.
49:07
Thank you for your lessons and the pleasant conversation.
49:13
I wonder what unpleasant would be like with you.
49:17
Ask the Yote 6. The Dragon and the Spider may be
49:45
out of reach, but you can still hurt Rd.
49:47
Saito by disrupting his operations in Tokachi Range.
49:52
I can provide you with a list of targets.
49:54
Why don't we hit them together? As much as I enjoy charging
49:57
bohias with you, my place is here.
50:00
We need. To go kids and is still out
50:09
there and test your rich. You've returned Good.
50:21
You said there was a way I could hurt Lord Saito.
50:23
By disrupting his operations in Tokachi Range.
50:27
You're the one I've been waiting for, Atsu.
50:30
An unstoppable force of nature delivering retribution to Cran
50:34
Saito for all their sins. I do what I can.
50:38
You can finish the hunt. I cannot.
50:41
Destroy, destabilize, dismantle, make Saito's life miserable, and
50:47
I will reward you. With pleasant conversation.
50:50
That's always free, along with more training and the coin.
50:56
A worthy braid deserves a worthy reward.
51:02
These are the targets. I've already taken care of
51:06
everything on this list. You do get around.
51:09
Can't let the trail go cold. Well, return whenever you're
51:12
ready to continue your training. The Odachi still has its
51:16
secrets. Are you ready to begin, Artsu?
51:26
You've been busy. You have made life miserable for
51:29
the Yote 6. Better yet, their followers are
51:34
terrified of you, the odachi wielding on your.
51:38
You even have admirers among Cran Matsumaye.
51:48
None have offered me sake. You might drink them under the
51:51
table. Come, you have more than earned
51:55
your next lesson. There are certain techniques
52:10
passed down from master to master through these scrolls.
52:14
Of course I improve them. We will study them together.
52:25
Begin with a wide stance. Is something wrong?
52:28
I'd rather hit something then read.
52:30
Later I have students for that. Rotate your body, unleashing a
52:37
powerful swing. This requires focused energy.
52:43
That focus comes from breathing. Something many students forget
52:47
in the face of the enemy to breathe.
52:50
The O Dutchie's weight will throw you off balance.
52:54
This next technique will break your opponent's guard and you're
52:59
not listening. I learned better hands on.
53:02
You can spar with me whether you survive.
53:13
How did you improve these techniques?
53:15
The old man who wrote them got lost in poetry.
53:18
One day I knocked them to the ground and reminded them a giant
53:22
sword doesn't need to rhyme. Ready you're O Dutty.
53:28
You ready Yours. You're one of those old men now.
53:34
After you. Now show me your technique.
53:46
Don't hold your breath. Try again.
53:55
Almost control your breathing. It's too erratic.
54:02
That's it. My stance and breath were
54:04
steady. And my hand felt it.
54:06
Let's go again. Give me a chance to knock you to
54:09
the ground, old man. Yeah, I still have another hand.
54:13
Even better to take a sake break.
54:15
The weather's turning cold. I can make us a fire.
54:29
My old master would say the frames are cooked by your breath
54:33
just like your new technique, but I'm cold so hurry up.
54:55
I think that was the worst soccer I've ever tasted.
54:58
I cut it with vinegar. My students sneak into it at
55:01
night. You're not a very fun master.
55:05
I used to let them drink the good stuff.
55:07
I joined in, but drunken samurai swinging all that year round
55:12
doesn't end well. I had to enforce discipline.
55:16
And become one of those old men. If not that, then what?
55:22
I'm a warrior sitting here watching the war from afar.
55:28
How is your hunt for the Yote 6 coming?
55:32
You'll find them and then use that odachi to remove their
55:36
heads. Did you hear that movement
55:40
below? It might only be animals.
55:44
Let's check to make sure. I see a Matsumaya patrol.
55:52
I'm used to that. That's not what I heard.
55:57
There's a merchant caravan heading north.
56:00
That must have been it. Wait, there's something else.
56:05
A group of Saito's men. What are they doing?
56:08
There's your answer. Watch out, you're the horses we
56:10
have. To stop this.
56:23
Students. No time to rally them.
56:25
These bastards must be stopped once and for all.
56:28
This is 1 war I can win. Remember the new technique you
56:32
learned? Right.
56:33
Keep them confused and off guard.
56:35
I will not be denied this victory.
57:29
And you bring upon your face tremble.
57:33
It's a great and worthy when find the purchase in your
57:38
stores. Revel as a phrase, crush your
58:03
chest and 1st open your heart. Better be ready.
58:54
Well, I think we got them all. This may have only been a
59:01
skirmish, but if I can't read Armies to Victory, then I can
59:06
lead my students to mastery of their own courage.
59:10
And you to your own redemption. Perhaps this certainly helped
59:17
you honor the way of the O that you ought to.
59:20
I'm proud to have fought alongside you.
59:25
You're pretty good at teaching. Maybe you should open a Dojo.
59:29
I could charge for lessons. What now?
59:33
Continue training with your O that's even someone with your
59:36
natural talent needs. Practice.
59:38
When you feel you have nothing left to learn, return to me for
59:41
one final lesson. There's more.
59:44
Maybe not in the way you think, but worthy just the same.
59:48
I look forward to it. Take care, Master Yoshida.
1:00:52
So many offerings for the Ondio. More rumors are spreading.
1:00:58
They say the Ondio wields more than a Cortana.
1:01:01
That she can use multiple weapons like Lord Saito.
1:01:05
A ghost shouldn't need weapons. He had no fun, you know that.
1:01:25
Straight from the battlefield. The perfect good for any
1:01:28
warrior. Fine choices, every one of them.
1:01:37
Never a dull moment. Get away from war.
1:02:27
You want quality? Take a look at my bows.
1:02:30
I've made some additions. Can I interest you in something
1:02:37
else that will do Stay alive? Yes.
1:02:44
Can't the? Let me show you my dice.
1:02:53
Let us discuss dice. This will serve you well.
1:03:05
Travel safely over here, boy.
1:03:57
Sounds like a wolf I know. Another wolf den.
1:04:23
You can track these hunters down.
1:04:25
We can't let them kill any more.
1:05:53
What do I do? Hey.
1:06:11
I know, I know, one juicy salmon coming right up.
1:06:23
Almost lost my hand but I'm glad you're on my side.
1:07:50
To me, you monkey, right? Well, well, the woman on the
1:08:09
bounty poster wanders by. My luck has finally changed.
1:08:14
Walk away or your luck's going to get a lot worse.
1:08:18
I can't improve the odds. This woman's got a price on her
1:08:23
head. I'll split the reward with
1:08:25
anyone who helps me cut her down.
1:08:27
Have it your way, hope. You're ready to die.
1:09:44
On your beast, the horses feel something's wrong.
1:09:48
Shut up with the nonsense. There's a handsome boy.
1:09:59
He's usually a gentle soul. It's displaced Tashurich spirits
1:10:06
are drawn to its snowy peaks. They lure settlers to their
1:10:10
deaths. People go missing.
1:10:13
Happens all the time. Are you as good with that sword
1:10:16
as you are with horses? When I'm motivated, ride with
1:10:20
us. We'll pay you a generous sum now
1:10:23
then more on arrival. Like hell we will.
1:10:26
She's the woman who just doubled her price.
1:10:32
Consider it done. List up.
1:10:35
It's not an easy journey. Time to go.
1:10:51
There's a chill in the air. I hate this route.
1:10:55
It'll be worth it. Remember our last trip?
1:10:58
I almost lost three toes to frostbite.
1:11:01
Instead, you returned with saddlebags full of coin.
1:11:04
This time feels different. You're both cheer up once we
1:11:07
reach the Red Crane. Inn The Red Crane Inn.
1:11:10
Is that our destination? It's the only bit of
1:11:13
civilization in Tatio Ridge, even for as well.
1:11:17
This valley is remote. It's settled as pay extra for
1:11:20
the small comforts of home. He means they're desperate.
1:11:26
Everyone has to make a living. I hope the in Shamisen player
1:11:29
hasn't moved on. Still pining.
1:11:32
Yeah, it's not like that. No, of course not.
1:11:37
You're interested in her artistic integrity?
1:11:41
No. Her.
1:11:41
That's enough. Eyes on the road.
1:12:02
Storm's brewing. Wiggle your toes while you still
1:12:06
have them. We need shelter, but we'll
1:12:09
freeze. There's a cave not far from
1:12:11
here. Those lights, Do you see them?
1:12:16
Get some nappy. Fire.
1:12:19
To hell with this wait. Idiot, you and me stay close.
1:12:42
Where the heck you are? None.
1:14:17
So-called Andrea, let's see how strong you are.
1:14:27
Kill the others. Where were you?
1:15:13
Likely story. Still shaky?
1:15:38
Need to find shelter? Ko ko no miso shiri MU wagga ko
1:16:21
misa da Mein SU SU Mein. Start a fire.
1:17:17
That's better. We slept in worse places.
1:17:38
I. Will find you.
1:18:15
Let's get our bearings. Don't want to get caught out
1:18:18
again. That's where I'll find a master
1:18:26
Enomoto. He could teach me the way of the
1:18:28
Kusarigama. Those merchants were headed to
1:18:33
the Red Crane Inn. As good a place as I need to ask
1:18:36
about the Kitsune. That's enough to go on.
1:19:00
Come on, boy. You need to find a lead on the
1:20:20
kids in there you look chilled through.
1:20:34
Mom a good. Soap will warm you.
1:20:36
Welcome our waters will cure whatever ails you.
1:20:41
Cold, cough or general eggs. How much A small charge compared
1:20:46
to the Hot Springs. Many benefits.
1:20:51
It'll be nice to feel warm again.
1:20:52
You won't be disappointed. Feels like I can't go a day
1:21:13
without tripping over a sunrise with their puffed out chests and
1:21:19
talk of honor. At least the months of my pay
1:21:25
will. Samurai horses.
1:21:55
What are the Matsumaya doing here?
1:22:14
Welcome to the Red Crane Inn. I know.
1:22:17
Just the sake to warm those bones.
1:22:20
Surprise. Do you have any left?
1:22:23
It is our privilege to serve Clan Matsumaya as they bring
1:22:27
order to Ezzo. So that's what they're doing.
1:22:30
I don't want trouble. If you're interested in sake or
1:22:34
a game of zeni hajiki, please take a seat.
1:22:38
Otherwise, move along. You might know about the
1:22:42
kitchenette sake. Whatever's one step up from
1:22:55
swill. Drinking alone, That won't do.
1:23:04
May we join? No.
1:23:06
Fine, pay for your own sake. I will, someone must know
1:23:12
something. Bear Yeah, At this rate I'll be
1:23:24
leaving Teshio Ridge with only the shot on my back, Assuming we
1:23:28
leave at all. I'm not sure this kitsune even
1:23:32
exists. The Kitsune Maybe I can win some
1:23:40
coin and information looks fun.
1:23:56
Is this a private game or can anyone join?
1:23:59
Anyone was going to lose. Take my spot, but be careful he
1:24:03
won't go easy on you. You're a long way from Castle
1:24:40
Matsumaye. Who did you anger?
1:24:43
You're more insightful than you look.
1:24:45
Oh Commander fell out of Lord Matsumaye's favor.
1:24:49
Only the head of the 9 tails leader will win back his good
1:24:52
graces. You mean the Kitune?
1:24:55
How do you know that name? He attacked me.
1:24:58
And you survived. I have my ways.
1:25:43
None. You got lucky, you know, if
1:26:01
you're looking for the kids there, we might be able to help
1:26:05
each other, but it's too dangerous to talk in the open.
1:26:08
I'm not going anywhere alone with you.
1:26:12
Not us. Speak to our commander upstairs,
1:26:16
last room to the right. Greetings stranger.
1:26:33
Psycho is bringing in more troops every day.
1:26:43
Beautiful instrument. Do you play?
1:26:46
Not as much as I'd like to. Spoken like a true musician.
1:27:00
Last door to the right. You're early, Take off your
1:27:27
clothes. I will be with you when I'm
1:27:29
ready. Mind if I keep my sword?
1:27:32
Sword, who the hell are you? Someone low on patience, What do
1:27:42
you know about the keetonette are?
1:27:46
You serious? Ask me another question and
1:27:48
you'll find out. I am a commander in the mutts of
1:27:51
my army. I don't answer to dirty
1:27:54
mercenaries. Now get out before I arrest you.
1:28:01
Before or after you put on your clothes?
1:28:06
Find what you were looking for. Bastards.
1:28:09
May I present Oyuki, the songbird of Ezo?
1:28:13
Quiet down, show starting. Hi.
1:29:41
Play something more lively. Better yet, put down that Shami
1:29:45
sin and dance. You want to dance?
1:29:55
Haven't we shown you enough fun? Go on, give us a tune.
1:30:12
Just fists. I don't need another bounty on
1:30:14
my head. Get up.
1:30:16
Typical samurai. This.
1:30:25
Woman, look up, she's not human. What's wrong?
1:30:30
Can't keep up? You.
1:30:48
Me. Get up, you idiot executor.
1:30:52
Is that wise? I can't imagine Lord Matsumi
1:30:56
will be pleased when he hears his men were bested by a single
1:31:00
wanderer, and a woman at that. And how will he hear such a
1:31:05
tale? Nothing travels faster than a
1:31:08
good song. This never happened.
1:31:13
If I see your face again, you'll wish for a simple execution.
1:31:22
Meet me outside. How much for the damage?
1:31:48
It'll go on the Matsumaya's tab. Don't test me.
1:32:14
You didn't have to do that, I know.
1:32:16
So why risk your neck? I heard you asking about the
1:32:19
kitsune. He's the leader of the 9 Tails,
1:32:22
a group of shinobi terrorizing Tishio Rich.
1:32:25
You know a lot for a musician. Almost everyone here has been
1:32:29
affected by the 9 tails. Take a look at the village and
1:32:32
I'll show you what do you see. Stables.
1:32:44
The nine tails use the horses as bait to draw their masters into
1:32:47
the forest. Only the horses return.
1:32:52
An old mill. Abandoned the Nine Tails, scared
1:32:56
off the Miller and his family. We still haven't found a
1:32:59
replacement. A forge in need of a fire.
1:33:05
And a master, The swordsmith who tended it was killed by the 9
1:33:10
tails. It wasn't even a body for his
1:33:12
daughter to bury. Then how do you know he's dead?
1:33:15
They didn't have time to wash away the blood the 9 tails used
1:33:19
to keep to themselves. It's only in the last year
1:33:22
they've become aggressive. The settlers hoped the Matsumai
1:33:26
would help, but well, you've met Commander Fujita.
1:33:31
So now you're wondering what someone like me can do?
1:33:35
You'll help us then. I came here to kill the kitten,
1:33:43
might as well get paid for it. Some might sneer at such
1:33:47
pragmatism. Some don't know what it's like
1:33:50
to live on mushrooms and grass. If you need a lead, I know where
1:33:54
you can start. Follow me.
1:34:00
You play like someone I used to know.
1:34:02
Is that a compliment? You don't hide from your
1:34:05
shamisen, you let the music flow through.
1:34:08
You. It is the one place where I can
1:34:10
be myself completely unguarded. That's why I like to play alone.
1:34:33
We're here. A shrine?
1:34:35
How is this a lead? You must understand that too
1:34:49
many the kitsune isn't human, but a powerful shapeshifter, A
1:34:54
trickster fox who scares more than children.
1:34:57
Is that what you think? That the nine tails are evil fox
1:35:01
spirits. I think they are flesh and blood
1:35:04
who use fear to get what they want.
1:35:06
But other settlers leave offerings hoping for protection.
1:35:10
Someone comes to collect an offering could draw them out.
1:35:14
Then we follow them. A few coins should do the trick.
1:35:22
Don't look at me, I'm broke. You don't have a single Mon on
1:35:27
you. Not if it's going to the 9
1:35:29
tails. Now we wait.
1:35:36
Head up that Ridge, it'll give us cover.
1:35:53
Settling, We may be here a while.
1:36:14
What? You look like a woman with a
1:36:17
story. You'd haven't said a word.
1:36:20
You might put it in a song. Oh, you're from Ezzo?
1:36:28
I can tell you're not. What gave me away?
1:36:33
Your clothes, the way you talk. You were born on the mainland,
1:36:38
or at least spent time there. The samurai on their wars have
1:36:42
kept me on the move. I thought I could escape all
1:36:46
that into she or. Rich, but they followed you even
1:36:50
here. Might be time to find a new
1:36:53
home. The kitsune took something from
1:36:56
me. I can't leave until I get it
1:36:59
back. Foxfire, they're here.
1:37:08
Look, a nine tail is taking the offering.
1:37:12
Let's go. You'll lead the way.
1:37:14
I'll try to keep up. Stay low.
1:37:18
If we're careful and lucky, they'll lead us to the
1:37:20
kitchenette. Or into a trap.
1:37:23
They ambushed me once, it won't happen again.
1:37:25
They stopped. I need a closer look.
1:37:31
What are they doing? Brushing snow off a rock,
1:37:35
there's a symbol. Does that mean something?
1:37:37
To kitsune uses symbols. Like some form of communication.
1:37:41
Or instructions. We can't lose them.
1:38:03
Careful, there could be more hiding in these woods.
1:38:07
It's a risk we'll have to take. They're stopping again.
1:38:21
What are you bastards up to? Another symbol you're.
1:38:25
Right. I think they're following the
1:38:27
instructions. They're splitting up.
1:38:28
Did they see us? I don't know, take the one on
1:38:31
the right, I'll follow the others.
1:38:54
Where did he go? You're not a nine tail, are you?
1:38:57
I will. Hold back, Outlander.
1:39:47
You'll get nothing from me. Where's the kitten?
1:39:54
Tell me. I couldn't keep up with A9 tail.
1:40:14
What happened here? You'd rather die than talk.
1:40:19
Flesh and blood. What are you doing?
1:40:26
In my travelling days, I used to hide song lyrics.
1:40:29
In my shoes, an evil spirit wouldn't need a map, but a mere
1:40:34
mortal. There's another symbol on it.
1:40:42
What do you think? Could it be a hideout?
1:40:44
Could be. Head back to the inn.
1:40:48
I'll find you when I'm done. That's it, you're rushing in
1:40:51
alone. You would rather I wait around
1:40:53
like the Matsumai? I didn't think so.
1:40:57
I don't even know your name. Atsu.
1:41:04
Atsu. Let's see where this map leads.
1:42:00
This looks promising. That's the symbol I found on the
1:42:17
night who ambushed me. How do I get inside?
1:42:21
These statues match the ones on the lanterns.
1:43:07
Now to find the key to net what is this place?
1:43:26
Training ground. And I'll.
1:43:34
Tell. You Where is he?
1:44:39
None. Get back here more tricks.
1:44:49
There must be a way through. Another 9 Tailed Fox 2 are
1:45:24
missing, where are the others? That.
1:45:43
Did something Sneaky bastards. Where did you run off to?
1:47:11
They're hiding somewhere. What's this?
1:47:48
That scroll is not for your eyes.
1:47:51
All I want is the key today. Key is beyond your reach.
1:48:30
She's a ghost. What did you not want me to see?
1:48:59
Doors are locked, The 9 tail mentioned a scroll.
1:50:11
None. A list of symbols and their
1:50:20
meanings. A cipher.
1:50:23
I'll make a copy. These will prove useful up down.
1:50:47
Right and left engage forward and death.
1:51:17
I'll try to avoid that one. Maybe I can use this to escape.
1:51:53
Only have myself to blame for that.
1:52:02
The cypher works. Look.
1:53:07
Get ready. That's all of them.
1:53:39
The nine tails came from up there.
1:53:41
Be an exit. The symbol.
1:54:02
The symbols relate to the statues somehow.
1:55:10
Shinobi armor, I can use it against them.
1:55:13
I don't see anything else of use.
1:55:41
Need to get out of here. Nikita is not here, but at least
1:55:57
I found his cipher. I'll bring it back to Oyuki.
1:56:01
She might have another lead. Hey boy,
1:56:36
someone put up a fight. 9 tails killed with kunai.
1:56:43
We gave you a chance, Hannah. Now you die.
1:56:49
I'm not Hannah, but I'll give you a fight if you're looking
1:56:52
for one. Leave her alone, Hannah, I
1:56:59
presume. Ready yourself.
1:57:01
More are coming. What a mess you should leave.
1:57:35
There might be more where that came from.
1:57:37
No fuck spirit is going to kick me out of my own home.
1:57:42
Where did you learn to throw kunai like that?
1:57:45
I'm not one of them, if that's what you are worried about.
1:57:48
They look handy in a fight, and I've got my own fox spirits to
1:57:52
deal with. Maybe we can help each other.
1:57:56
The enemy of my enemy. Very well.
1:58:00
I teach you. You help me keep one shoulder
1:58:05
back, step forward and follow through with your other
1:58:08
shoulder. You are using your wrist, losing
1:58:26
momentum. Use your whole body.
1:58:33
See much better. The nine tails favour speed and
1:58:37
surprise attacks. You'll need to practice on
1:58:40
moving targets. You'll have to be quicker than
1:58:48
that. Why do the 9 tails want to kick
1:58:52
you out of here? It's not easy to harvest the
1:58:54
land so far north. They want the fields.
1:58:57
Our families have painstakingly grown.
1:59:10
That's it. The nine Tails ambush.
1:59:13
In groups, you'll need to be faster on the draw.
1:59:15
The more kuna you throw, the more room you'll have to
1:59:18
breathe. Good.
1:59:28
I was born at this very farm. My parents thought if they lived
1:59:32
where no one else wanted to, they would be left alone.
1:59:36
I have had no such luck. You are a quick study.
1:59:44
These things are hard to find once you throw them.
1:59:46
I can make more for you. But first let's discuss how we
1:59:49
can help each other. I will make us a meal.
1:59:53
Wouldn't want all that squash to go to waste.
2:00:08
You mentioned there are other families caring for farms in the
2:00:11
area. They haven't made a life here
2:00:14
and are now being threatened if they don't leave.
2:00:19
Why don't you leave? Why risk losing the people you
2:00:23
love? The same reason I learned to
2:00:26
make kunai in the 1st place. A story for another time.
2:00:31
All you need to know is that there are four families with
2:00:33
homes in this area. Help me check on them and I will
2:00:36
make you as many kunai as you want, Matsu.
2:00:41
And it's a deal. Then you are welcome at my
2:00:44
forge. Atsu.
2:00:46
Come see me if you need to replenish your kunai.
2:00:56
This that will do lots of work to be done.
2:01:37
Should chill the 9 tails cipher to Oyuki.
2:01:40
She might have a new lead waiting for someone.
2:01:48
A stingy wanderer who abandoned me in the woods.
2:01:51
The map led me to a cipher for the 9 tails symbols.
2:01:55
Then we were right. It's how they communicate.
2:01:58
When I first arrived in Teshio Ridge, I was ambushed by the
2:02:01
kitchenette. Before I got away I found a
2:02:04
symbol on one of his men. I think it means hideout.
2:02:08
He was going to take you somewhere.
2:02:11
For what purpose? I don't know, but he might still
2:02:15
be there if we can find it. The Matsumi have been tracking
2:02:19
the Kitsune for months. Combine their knowledge with
2:02:22
your cipher and we may be able to find this hideout.
2:02:25
Last time I spoke to Commander Fujita, he said he'd execute me.
2:02:29
Only if you saw your face. Come with me.
2:02:49
Where are we going? As a performer, I've learned to
2:02:52
keep my audience wanting. I'd never get paid if I did
2:02:55
that. Behind this wall is a secret
2:03:10
passage we can use to spy on Commander Fujita.
2:03:17
You're surprisingly useful. I tried to tell you the original
2:03:23
owner of the Red Crane Inn was a prospector.
2:03:26
He used the promise of a hot bath to eavesdrop on the
2:03:29
competition and then blackmail them.
2:03:32
He sounds like a pervert. I prefer to think of him as
2:03:36
shrewd, careful. It's a tight squeeze.
2:03:58
And don't linger if that woman finds the kids in there before
2:04:01
we do. No one is going home, Sir, Tell
2:04:05
Chosky he either coughs up new information or he'll be short
2:04:09
and knuckle. Chosky sounds like the Mutsum.
2:04:13
I have an informant, maybe he can tell us about the nine tails
2:04:17
hideout. But where?
2:04:18
Are they meeting him? I need to get in there.
2:04:21
I'll distract the commander, just be quick about it.
2:04:26
No folk spirits. An ugly meddlesome woman.
2:04:29
This is the worst posting in this all No because of a simple
2:04:33
misunderstanding. Commander Fujita.
2:04:46
How's my chance? You humiliated me in front of my
2:04:49
man. What?
2:04:56
There's a commotion down. At.
2:05:04
This looks like they've hit more dead ends than leads there.
2:05:09
Choske's name is marked near the Nakajima Soccer House.
2:05:13
Anything else of use in here? Exile for disobeying orders.
2:05:20
Find anything? Still looking soft and dainty.
2:05:27
Hands bring pleasurable pressure.
2:05:30
I'll sleep well tonight. I never took Fujita for a poet.
2:05:37
How many mistresses can one man have?
2:05:40
And where does he find the stamina?
2:05:43
Here we are, a note from the informant Chos gave and mentions
2:05:48
the symbols in this letter. But the summer I can't read
2:05:51
them. That's enough to go on.
2:05:53
Fujita will be back soon. This is the one time he would
2:05:56
not be pleased to find two women in his room.
2:06:02
The samurai are meeting their informant at the Nagajima Sake
2:06:05
house. Do you know it?
2:06:07
The proprietor has been asking me to perform there for years,
2:06:10
but he's the kind of man who easily gets the wrong ideas.
2:06:14
Stay here. That won't happen to me.
2:06:16
We'll only start another fight with the Maximi.
2:06:19
I have a plan, but it requires an open mind.
2:06:23
I don't like the sound of that. You want to find the kids in his
2:06:26
hideout, don't you? You were quick to think of those
2:06:52
secret passages. That wasn't the first time you
2:06:55
spied on guests. Innkeeper Umay showed them to me
2:06:58
as a place to hide if the 9 tails attack, but if I know my
2:07:03
audience I can tailor my performance to their needs.
2:07:07
I knew it. Do you not learn about your
2:07:10
clients before taking a job? My clients are a bounty poster
2:07:14
and a price, but I don't hurt kids or animals.
2:07:17
How noble your horse is fond of you.
2:07:29
I feed him. It's more than that.
2:07:33
You move practically as one. His last donor didn't treat him
2:07:37
well, so I took him off his hands.
2:07:40
Animals can be easier company than people.
2:07:43
They're less likely to stab you in the back.
2:07:45
And they don't judge. What's this plan of yours?
2:07:51
The Matsumai, and likely their informant, will be on the
2:07:54
lookout for a woman with a sword.
2:07:56
What they won't be expecting is a waitress.
2:07:59
No, no, absolutely not. All you have to do is follow my
2:08:03
lead and keep an ear out for Chosuke.
2:08:06
It's like any other scouting job.
2:08:09
Except I'll be in the kimono without my sword.
2:08:12
Do you want to find the kitsune or not?
2:08:18
Then we do it your way. Sword swinging and blood
2:08:20
spraying, Here we are. Nakajima Saki House This
2:08:26
mountain will get you changed. It's too tight.
2:08:45
And you're looser and they'll want more than sake.
2:08:52
There you look. So we need people to order
2:08:58
drinks, not call for help. I can't change my face.
2:09:06
The other day when you watched me perform, what were you
2:09:09
thinking of? How it must be nice to sit
2:09:12
around and play music all day. You looked peaceful.
2:09:19
If you think about it again, it might fix our scowling problem.
2:09:25
Won't the owner recognize that I don't work here?
2:09:28
What if he starts asking questions?
2:09:30
Deflect. You're good at that.
2:09:34
Come on, let's find this Chosky. Try to be polite and absolutely
2:09:44
no violence. Define violence.
2:09:46
A physical action that provokes anything other than a thank you.
2:09:53
There she is, the most beautiful musician in Ezzo.
2:09:58
Heta, does your office still stand?
2:10:01
Of course, but who is this? I've worked here for two years.
2:10:08
Oh, you must have changed her hair.
2:10:11
She's kindly offered to help me warm up.
2:10:14
Our best patrons are upstairs practice on the Ravel down here.
2:10:19
They won't know any better. Remember, we're looking for the
2:10:26
maximizing format, Chosky. He's our best chance at finding
2:10:31
the 9 tails hideout. You sound nervous.
2:10:35
I have a reputation to uphold. May I present the lovely Oyuki
2:10:45
and Nakajima's very own waitress?
2:11:07
I'll play something simple, try to follow the best you can,
2:11:30
eyes down, ears open. Last week, he lost everything
2:11:41
but his shoes. Where's Choske finding the money
2:11:44
to gamble? Choske is a gambler.
2:11:47
Hater keeps a room upstairs for Zeni.
2:11:49
Hajiki Choske here yet? He promised me around the sake.
2:11:54
You're kidding. He's always Hater's first
2:11:57
customer. Choske is here now.
2:12:00
He arrived this morning. Then he's likely upstairs.
2:12:04
Once you find Choske, slip this into his cup.
2:12:07
What is it? Something his stomach won't soon
2:12:10
forget? Thank you for listening.
2:12:21
I don't know what Choske looks like.
2:12:23
Offering a free round of sake should do the trick.
2:12:34
May this song bring you luck or come Master Choske.
2:12:37
Who's asking? Your friends from the South
2:12:41
would like to cover your next round of sake.
2:12:46
Then I'll take something refined, elegant, expensive.
2:13:49
No prices. Which one would he want?
2:13:56
Strong? That's what I would order.
2:13:59
Not exactly refined. Notes of milk, like a fog
2:14:14
blanket. Too heavy, that's sucky, that's
2:14:21
smooth, dangerous. I almost feel bad tainting
2:14:26
something so delicious. Please enjoy.
2:14:48
Oh, your play? I have to.
2:14:58
Oh no. Too easy, come Utzu.
2:15:17
He's not going to die, is he? Not if he drinks plenty of
2:15:20
water, but maybe don't tell him that.
2:15:34
Breathe, Chosky, for the parasite that danced its way
2:15:37
into a sake cup will only become more aggressive.
2:15:42
Who are you? What do you want?
2:15:46
Talk to me about this symbol. I saw it on a piece of fabric at
2:15:52
a dye house near the river. What else?
2:15:56
The owner has been acting strange.
2:15:59
Her shop's been closed for weeks.
2:16:01
She won't even sell to long time customers.
2:16:06
Am I going to die? Go home, brew a large pot of tea
2:16:14
and drink every last drop. And Choske lay off the dice.
2:16:26
To the dye house then. Soon as I get out of this damn
2:16:30
kimono. Feel better?
2:16:41
Yes, I can move again, you handed yourself well, but they
2:16:45
would just get. I simply followed your lead.
2:16:48
It wasn't my idea to put a parasite in his socket.
2:16:51
An old trick I learned to keep my more enthusiastic admirers.
2:16:55
You could hire a bodyguard. And share my profits?
2:16:58
Not a chance. The Sky Master Chosky mentioned.
2:17:17
Do you know her? Not personally, but she makes
2:17:20
the most beautiful designs. I've heard they even sell in
2:17:24
Kyoto. Makes you wonder why she's
2:17:26
living all the way out here. Sometimes we can't escape where
2:17:29
we're from. We're here.
2:17:55
There's the symbol. The 9 tails hideout should be
2:17:58
close by. The question is where?
2:18:08
No one's here. Overturned trays of food.
2:18:11
Like they were grabbed in the middle of their meal.
2:18:13
You think the dime master was taken by the 9 tails?
2:18:16
Let's check the other building. Another symbol.
2:18:53
Check the cipher. What does it mean?
2:19:04
Find something. There's a symbol on the lid.
2:19:22
A fox statue. With nine tails,
2:19:51
that seems right. And the other
2:20:40
no. Traps triggered.
2:20:42
That's a good sign. Try the middle of that.
2:20:56
Well done. Stay close and follow my lead.
2:21:04
Oh, this was under our feet. Hiding in plain sight.
2:21:19
They're keeping prisoners. Hopefully the dime.
2:21:21
Master is among them. Stay back until it's clear.
2:21:59
Please. Are you the dye master?
2:22:19
Yes. How did you find us?
2:22:22
We're looking for a shinobi wearing a kitsune mask.
2:22:26
That demon threatened to burn my workshop if I didn't turn away
2:22:29
my customers. I cooperated until he started
2:22:33
taking prisoners. That's when he threw you in
2:22:37
here. There are others deeper in,
2:22:41
please help him. The kitsune might still be here.
2:22:46
I'll keep going. Take them back to the house.
2:22:50
Be careful, atsu. Too far to jump.
2:23:27
I see you clever. This isn't a training ground
2:24:35
like the other hideout. There's a nurse what the 9 tails
2:24:39
want. This one looks angry.
2:25:54
Bloody foam around the mouth and the marked with the same symbol.
2:25:58
The quitine wanted to send me here, but why?
2:26:03
To be some kind of test subject? This one looks angry.
2:26:37
Take your head. None.
2:28:41
One raised paw poison, but with what?
2:29:58
None. Still no kids in there but he
2:30:52
was here. Maybe he left something behind.
2:30:55
More 9 tailed foxes and symbols. I've seen these statues before.
2:31:54
This one looks angry. Arch back and folded ears.
2:32:11
A scaredy fox. No one survived
2:32:39
a clicking sound. Again, something unlocked.
2:32:48
The puzzle box, there's a Kitzene on top, no obvious
2:32:55
opening. I should get back to Oyuki.
2:33:04
Maybe she can open it. That music.
2:34:48
Ozzo, are you all right? Fine.
2:34:57
Let's get some air. I found this but it won't open.
2:35:15
Now puzzle box. They are designed to protect
2:35:19
treasures. My mother had one.
2:35:26
I was obsessed with it. Did you think she was hiding
2:35:29
something from you? Everyone has secrets, mothers
2:35:33
more than most. But no, I just wanted to know
2:35:37
her. One day she caught me with it.
2:35:41
But instead of scolding, my mother showed me that all it
2:35:46
takes to reveal a person's secrets is applying the right.
2:35:50
Pressure. What was inside?
2:35:56
Unlock of my baby hair. You were her treasure.
2:36:04
All right, what does a kid send a treasure?
2:36:11
Poison. There's a list of ingredients in
2:36:15
the harvesting site. My closing in, I want to check
2:36:21
on the dye master and her family.
2:36:24
I'll meet you there. They really believe in the
2:37:16
Ondio. People are still leaving
2:37:19
offerings. Why wouldn't they?
2:37:23
They say the Ondio's been spotted fighting folk spirits in
2:37:26
the forest of Tessio Ridge. Don't believe everything you
2:37:29
hear. Folks up, they don't.
2:37:31
Have much to begin with. Nothing wrong with believing a
2:37:34
story or two.
