- 0:01Sometimes I feel you all think I just make these maps magically
- 0:05appear. No need to admire my work.
- 0:08I'll have to charter the next region soon.
- 0:18Come on, boy. Keats and his harvesting site is
- 0:56in that forest. Leafy should be nearby.
- 1:21The other day I found the kunai in the squash patch.
- 1:23The craftsmanship was incredible.
- 1:27Let's see it. A patrol found dead 9 tails near
- 1:34those strange wooden statues of bears and owls.
- 1:38Once I could have sworn I saw an old man with a kusarigama by
- 1:42there. He disappeared before I could
- 1:44say anything. The sooner we leave Teshio Ridge
- 1:47the better. Things should get easier for us
- 1:50with that. Arzo, we have a problem.
- 2:25The Matsumaya are here. The harvesting site for the
- 2:28Quitanese poison is in there. How did the Matsumaya find it?
- 2:33Someone must have tipped them off they won't let anyone near
- 2:36the forest. Damn samurai always getting in
- 2:39the way. How do we get inside?
- 2:45They brought the whole Garrison, No point in sneaking around.
- 2:49So long as we avoid Commando Fujita, your head will stay
- 2:52where it belongs. Is that Choske?
- 3:01He must have led the Matsumaya here.
- 3:03The little eel was holding out on us.
- 3:05Maybe we should have killed him. There's still time.
- 3:12Cannons enough to raise a fortress.
- 3:15Amanda Fujita won't bother with ciphers and symbols.
- 3:18If pushed, he will burn the entire forest.
- 3:21We must find the Keats in there before the summer.
- 3:23I can scare him away. They've built the wall around
- 3:29the entrance. The main gate is well guarded
- 3:31and like they locked. Let's see if there's another way
- 3:37there, an opening in the fence. Just need to deal with the
- 3:40guard. Leave him to me,
- 3:54stay close and avoid Commando Fujita.
- 3:57I'll do the talking. Don't trust me to hold my
- 3:59tongue. Not for a second that.
- 4:09Woman is not welcome here. She is my bodyguard and will be
- 4:13on her best behavior. I thought you didn't want the
- 4:22bodyguard? I am not adverse when there are
- 4:25no profits to share. Wait here while I deal with our
- 4:32friend. This area is restricted.
- 4:41They do. Yuki, what are you doing so far
- 4:43from the Red Crane Inn? Commander Fujita thought the
- 4:46camp could use some entertainment, but my fingers
- 4:49are stiff from the long ride. Would you mind building me a
- 4:52fire? Of course, skilled hands such as
- 4:55yours should never suffer. You are too kind.
- 5:01She plays this samurai as well as her shammy son.
- 5:04Now to head inside. That was quick.
- 5:13I told him I dropped my hairpin, let's hurry before he comes
- 5:16looking for me. The harvesting site should be at
- 5:20the heart of this forest. That's where we'll find the
- 5:22kitsune and his toxin. 39 tailed foxes sitting under a tree
- 5:28sounds like. A fable or a bad joke?
- 5:31Looks like some sort of pedestal.
- 5:34We're at the right place, just need to find a way inside.
- 5:37Another puzzle like the diver. Let's look around.
- 7:13Batsu, something changed on the pedestal.
- 7:16Take a look. You're right, there's an
- 7:21indentation here now. The shape and size looks
- 7:24familiar. Try the Kitsune's puzzle box.
- 7:29It fits. The way forward is open.
- 7:34We're getting pretty good at this.
- 7:36Better than the Samurai, Kitana has gone through a lot of
- 7:41trouble to hide this place. Makes you wonder what else he's
- 7:44hidden away in tissue or Ridge. I have to watch out.
- 8:45I hate when they do that. We should be prepared for more
- 8:47guards. And other surprises.
- 8:49More fox statues. They rotate.
- 8:52I saw something similar in the hideout under the dye house.
- 8:55I'm sorry to have missed. That me too would have saved me
- 8:59the trouble of running around. These puzzles are slowing us
- 10:20down. We're Wait traps like at the
- 10:32entrance? I have a light step.
- 10:34Follow me. Where did you learn to be so
- 10:40nimble? A musician must be graceful.
- 10:43With your fingers, not your feet.
- 10:44The two are not so different when following a rhythm.
- 10:47It's about timing and pressure, like swordplay I imagine.
- 10:51That requires your fingers and your feet.
- 11:41What will you do after we deal with the Kitsonnet?
- 11:43Move on. Why you want to come with me?
- 11:46My Sharma son does miss the road.
- 11:48But. I've grown used to taking
- 11:50regular baths. You're saying I smell?
- 11:54I'm saying I don't want to smell.
- 12:04What will you do after we kill the kitchenette?
- 12:07Return South. Maybe.
- 12:09Do you want to come with me? We'll make music and trouble
- 12:12wherever we go. I can't keep up with you on the
- 12:18shamisen. You played beautifully at the
- 12:20sake house. All you need is practice.
- 13:13Give me a hand with this. You're stronger than you look.
- 13:26Especially for someone who sits around and plays music all day.
- 13:44I was Stay close, there could be more.
- 15:24You all right? In a strange way, comforting.
- 15:28We must be getting close. Was that cannon fire?
- 16:17Commander Fujita must have lost his patience.
- 16:26We need to hurry Help me open it, it won't fudge.
- 17:01You don't have time for this. There must be another way up
- 17:04there. The bamboo looks thinner.
- 17:06I'll help you up. Take my hand.
- 17:16Are you sure you can just hurry? Can you cut through this?
- 17:25If you only knew how much practice I've had at chopping
- 17:28bamboo. I doubt this is how the 9 tails
- 17:38do. We need to reach the Keats there
- 17:39before the samurai. The harvesting site.
- 17:45Now we find the Keats in it this.
- 17:47Is a massive operation. What are they growing?
- 17:51Wolf's Bane. The Inu use it in their hunting
- 17:54poisons. The recipe varies among
- 17:56families, and there's a closely guarded secret never written
- 18:00down. Yet somehow the kitten has it.
- 18:03He must have manipulated the INU into giving it to him.
- 18:06Or worse, shouldn't the wolf's bane affect the 9 tails?
- 18:11The kitsune must have taught them the art of poison.
- 18:20Atzu. It's him, the kitsune.
- 18:25He's too far. How do we draw him close?
- 18:30We don't. I'll move in while you cover me.
- 18:34You know how to use that bow to? Hunt rabbits, not people.
- 18:40Rabbits are harder to hit. You'll be fine.
- 18:45What's going on? It's Commander Fujita and his
- 18:48men. We're out of time.
- 18:50The kitchen is getting away. Go.
- 18:52I'll catch up. Summarize out of my way.
- 19:38It's you that day in the snow. You recognized my mask and now
- 19:47you chase me through. Fire.
- 19:50Why? I don't expect you to Remember
- 19:54Me. I was a child.
- 19:57But my mother, you should remember her, what you did.
- 20:04Curious. Did you think I was the first
- 21:19kid from there? Liar and a coward.
- 21:22What? Get away from her, Oh Yuki.
- 22:04Stay with me, stay with me. Otsu the kitchen, he.
- 22:13Fled. I chose to save you.
- 22:18The kitchenette toxin causes hallucination.
- 22:21Control your breathing. Now, do you know so much about
- 22:24this toxin? Stay back, I'll deal with them.
- 22:28She can't burn anyone. You wear a mask.
- 22:46You can fight. I'll explain everything once
- 22:48we're safe. He said he wasn't the first kids
- 22:51in there. If only you know the truth.
- 23:41It can't be. Music is not bound to this
- 23:45world. Sing with me.
- 24:27Let me go. Stay with me.
- 24:30Can't wait for. Her Natsu look at me, not him.
- 24:39Stop. So please.
- 24:43Come on. Natsu go with him.
- 24:46No. No.
- 24:55Then sing with me. Thank you.
- 25:02You can. You can do anything.
- 25:20holy, in other words, water on my life.
- 26:05One easy atsu. The antidote takes time.
- 26:08You can't move yet. You fight like a shinobi, carry
- 26:22the antidote to the poison. Your voice.
- 26:31How could I forget your voice? You never asked why I was after
- 26:42the kitchenette. Because you were there.
- 26:49I tried to save you and. My mother, What did you do for
- 26:53her? Nothing you watch.
- 26:58Does he? I am not your enemy, Atsu.
- 27:46Here you go, got her scent? Strong enough to move again and
- 28:02find Oyuki, the kids in there. Find me boy.
- 29:12This. Is where are Yuki?
- 29:27Annette said to me. You came.
- 29:33Are you here to fight or listen? My mother is dead because of
- 29:38you. She was lost the moment Saito
- 29:41placed that noose around her neck.
- 29:44You don't know that. Yes, I do.
- 29:47I know him better than you. I don't want to fight Atsu.
- 29:54I want to help you kill Saito and the rest of the Yote 6.
- 29:58You're one of them. You are the kitner.
- 30:01Not anymore. Please, Atsu, just listen.
- 30:07No, you'd only lie. The man in the mask is my
- 30:58replacement. It stalled by Saito when I tried
- 31:00to turn the 9 tails against him. I don't.
- 31:03Care. There's new kids in there.
- 31:33Didn't murder my family. He protects the man.
- 31:36Who did you want your revenge? Take it, but you'll be doing
- 31:47Saito a favor. What do you mean?
- 31:52I know Saito better than his own sons.
- 31:55He wants to silence me, so I can't help you bring him to his
- 31:59knees. I can help you fight like A9
- 32:05tail and resist the kitsune's toxin.
- 32:08I told you I don't care about the man in the mask.
- 32:11The kitsune overseas, The shinobi who protects Saito.
- 32:15Kill him and Saito will be vulnerable.
- 32:21Why are you doing this? To be the Kitchener again.
- 32:26No, a part of my life is over. Fine, teach me your tricks, but
- 32:39this fight isn't finished. The man who replaced me as the
- 33:06kitsune is named Dojo, I told him.
- 33:08And the other nine tails my family should not be techniques
- 33:11had training grounds such as this one.
- 33:13I. Don't see any ciphers or
- 33:15symbols. Dojo created that system to lock
- 33:18me out of my own operation. Stand here with me and we will
- 33:24begin. When you arrived, I asked if you
- 33:27came to fight or listen. You tried fighting.
- 33:31Now I want you to listen. This is one of your great
- 33:35shinobi techniques. Knowing where your enemy is can
- 33:39help you anticipate their attacks. close your eyes.
- 33:44Listen to the world around you. What am I listening for?
- 33:56Movement. Life that your ears perceive
- 34:00what your eyes cannot. Tell me what you.
- 34:09Hear a creaking noise from what? A tree bracing itself against
- 34:19the wind? Anything else?
- 34:25A bird? What kind?
- 34:27A crow. She has a lot to say.
- 34:30Good, now open your eyes and use all your senses.
- 34:35You and I are not the only living creatures here.
- 34:39Who else is in the Grove? I just told you who else is
- 34:43here? Atsu the fox.
- 34:51She's laughing at me. Oh, she thinks you are playing a
- 34:54game. A deer.
- 35:06He's chewing grass. Food is scarce in winter.
- 35:09He must eat while he can. Now for something a little more
- 35:12challenging, find me. More tricks, this better be
- 35:22worth it. Warm breath hitting the cold
- 35:31air, There you are. You're a natural.
- 35:49Stop with the compliments, you either have more to teach me or
- 35:53we continue our duel. Follow me.
- 35:56Why did you create the 9 tails? Saito knows that to control Ezo,
- 36:01some battles need to be fought in the shadows.
- 36:04So you gave him a shinobi army? In doing so, I was able to put
- 36:08distance between myself and the Yote 6.
- 36:28There should be incense stored somewhere in here.
- 36:30How will Incense help me against Saito?
- 36:33Patience, Atsu, you'll see. That's it.
- 36:45Yes, grab a bundle and follow me.
- 36:53How did you end up in Hazel? My family served Clan Saito for
- 36:57generations. Most fell at the Battle of
- 37:00Nagashino, the rest on the journey north.
- 37:03You could have stayed on the mainland.
- 37:05Why follow Saito? He was different then, or I
- 37:09thought he was. A shinobi's greatest weapon is
- 37:18knowledge. We gather information by
- 37:21blending in performing everyday tasks but always listening.
- 37:27There's no one here to spy on. The dead are not without secrets
- 37:33tend the graves. Who is?
- 37:38Buried here? I don't know.
- 37:41The cemetery existed long before I found this place.
- 37:45Then why honor them? My family's graves are scattered
- 37:48throughout Japan. I like to think someone tends to
- 37:51them. Since I cannot, it's how I speak
- 37:54to them. Music is not bound to this
- 37:57world. It can speak to those who are no
- 38:00longer with us. Who told you that?
- 38:03My mother. If music can reach the dead,
- 38:09then perhaps it's time I told you the tale of the Kitsune, if
- 38:15you will allow it it. Won't change anything.
- 38:21Before the kitsune, there was the innkeeper's daughter.
- 38:26By day, Misha Mason songs brought warriors to tears by
- 38:31knife. The family served Clan Seidel as
- 38:34their knives in the dark until Clan Saito fell and the
- 38:39innkeeper's daughter lost everything.
- 38:43Often and vulnerable, she followed the disgraced Lord
- 38:47Saito north and took on a new identity, the kitsune, the most
- 38:52elusive member of the Yoti 6A woman hiding among men.
- 38:58More and more, the kitsune felt trapped by the title meant to
- 39:03protect her until 1 fateful night, she snapped.
- 39:11The kitsune defied Lord Saito to save the life of a young girl.
- 39:16As punishment, he branded her skin and forced her to train new
- 39:21shinobi to serve his skins. For years, the kitsune played
- 39:27the repentant servant while secretly plotting against Saito,
- 39:32but she was betrayed by her closest ally and the Nine Tails
- 39:36cast her out as a traitor. The kitsune lost everything she
- 39:41built. They found an unlikely ally and
- 39:44the girl she risked her life to save.
- 39:55Saito branded you with my father's tools.
- 40:02If I screamed, the others would discover I was a woman.
- 40:06You can imagine what would happen next.
- 40:10I can't. It's dark.
- 40:15I'm going to sleep. We'll continue your training in
- 40:18the morning. You're up early.
- 40:32I don't sleep much. You've always looked so put
- 40:39together. Old habits That performer must
- 40:43look her best. But I didn't spend the morning
- 40:46simply drinking tea. I scouted the surrounding area.
- 40:51There are signs of ambushes on the road. 9 tails practice for
- 40:56your next lesson. I can feel you staring.
- 41:09You said you were betrayed by your closest ally, Dojin.
- 41:13I thought if I told him my story, he would help me take
- 41:15down the Yoti 6 from within. I underestimated Dojin's loyalty
- 41:20to Saito. Or he just wanted to be in
- 41:26charge. Dojin always was ambitious.
- 41:29Even as a boy. It didn't take much for Dojin to
- 41:32turn the 9 tails against me. He painted me as a bitter,
- 41:36jealous woman who wanted their Lord's power.
- 41:42Wait, I feel it too. We aren't alone.
- 41:45Follow me. As I suspected, what do you
- 42:05hear? Atsu dry grass crunching under
- 42:14tense muscles. An ambush.
- 42:17They're waiting for. Travellers, if their eyes are
- 42:20focused on the road, I can stab them in the back.
- 42:24Always so eager. What happens if they spot you?
- 42:31Things get messy. A mercenary may be reckless, but
- 42:35not a shinobi. Today's lesson Always have an
- 42:40exit strategy. Here take this.
- 42:44A bomb. Smoking Shadow, if you get
- 42:47surrounded, use it to escape. I'll be right behind you.
- 43:26Find them, then sneak away. Good work.
- 43:42Let's find out where this group came from.
- 43:44Search the bodies. There's nothing on him, but his
- 43:51clothes smell like rotten vegetables.
- 43:54Is there a tannery nearby? There's a hunting village just
- 43:57down the road. You could have said.
- 43:59That wouldn't be teaching. Why did you think you could
- 44:05trust Dojo? I have a history of putting my
- 44:07faith in the wrong people. Quiet.
- 44:11Now we're at the village. This way, let's see what we're
- 44:30walking into. It looks abandoned.
- 44:40Dojin likes to take the healthiest settlers, the
- 44:43providers and caregivers. Those left behind either starve
- 44:47or are forced to move on. He needs some strong to test his
- 44:50poison. We know the 9 tails were here.
- 44:54You don't get that smell on your clothes from simply passing
- 44:57through. It's just like on the road,
- 45:02they're waiting for travellers. Except this group will likely be
- 45:06larger. Use what I've taught you to find
- 45:09the 9 tails and if you become surrounded.
- 45:12Shadow and smoke nearby. Perfect.
- 45:27They don't suspect a thing. None.
- 47:44None. That's all of them.
- 48:10Excellent work. It's getting late.
- 48:13We should camp here. We should keep.
- 48:18Moving. The firewood's a little damp
- 48:44from the snow. It's fine.
- 48:46Move over. Judging by the moon, I'd be
- 48:55about to start my evening performance at the Red Crane
- 48:58Inn. You know, I'm a decent.
- 49:04Cook, you also put parasites in people's sake.
- 49:08Technically, you're the one who poisoned Juske.
- 49:11I nearly provided the means to do so.
- 49:14Just keep your hands where I can see them.
- 49:28Why the kittennet? You could have chosen any name.
- 49:36As a child, my favorite stories always featured foxes, immortal
- 49:42tricksters with the power to become anyone.
- 49:49After I lost my family and home, that power was very appealing.
- 49:58And now? Now
- 50:13I just want to show someone my true face.
- 50:44Of all the places I've travelled, Tishio Ridge has the
- 50:47most beautiful mornings. There's only one place better.
- 50:51Your home. When the skies clear, you can
- 50:54see Mount Yote. It's not so damn cold.
- 50:59And you've had so much taken from you.
- 51:01That's right. You've come far in your
- 51:22training. But there's still one thing you
- 51:25must overcome, Dojin. Stops and.
- 51:27There's no physical tool to count it, and the antidote takes
- 51:30too long to be useful in a fight.
- 51:32Then how do I stop the hallucinations?
- 51:35By knowing what is real, the hallucinations won't be so
- 51:38debilitating. See the braziers circling the
- 51:48graves? I've soaked the logs in Dojin's
- 51:51toxin. Light them.
- 51:54You want to poison us both? I have the antidote if it
- 51:57becomes too much. Tell me, what did you see under
- 52:13the toxins influence? My mother, how she died.
- 52:18I thought as much. Tell me, what did you see under
- 52:21the toxins influence? My mother, how she died.
- 52:27And I thought as much. What does the toxin show?
- 52:31You ghosts of the people I've killed, of the ones I couldn't
- 52:37save. Now what?
- 52:42We finish our do. I thought you didn't want to
- 52:46fight. And I thought.
- 52:47You did, he said. If I killed you, I'd be doing
- 52:53Saito a favor. Only if you didn't learn what I
- 52:57had to teach you, you have it's time to take your revenge.
- 53:50You should start feeling the toxins effect.
- 53:57Control your breathing. Remember what's real.
- 54:42Look. Resistant soup.
- 54:51Fight it. I can't.
- 54:52You can't. Not so I am so sorry.
- 56:11I will never forgive the kids net,
- 57:15Oh, Yuki, where did she go? Surprised your fingers aren't
- 58:25stiff from the cold. I've learned to play anywhere.
- 58:29I thought you might have run off.
- 58:32Not this time. I need to face my mistakes
- 58:36starting with dojin. If killing him hurts Saito, I'll
- 58:41help you. In return, let me assist you in
- 58:45your hunt for the Yote 6. All right.
- 58:49Thank you. Dojin's trail ran cold after the
- 58:53Matsumaya burned his harvesting site.
- 58:57And it's best we start back at the beginning at the Red Crane
- 59:00Inn. But first, let's seal our new
- 59:04partnership with us all. I know one we can add to my
- 59:08mother's song, Atsu. It's what she would have wanted.
- 1:01:40Mila. I will Mama.
- 1:02:15Back to where this all began. The red crane in.
- 1:02:32That's about the Red Crane in time to find Dojo and then
- 1:02:36finish this. Atsu.
- 1:02:42What happened here? Retaliation from Dojo for
- 1:02:48destroying his harvesting site. He slaughtered these people over
- 1:02:55some plants. That toxin is his life's work.
- 1:03:00If Dojin did this out of spite, he might have made a mistake,
- 1:03:03left behind something we could follow.
- 1:03:08I'll help you look. Umay, she never asked questions,
- 1:04:14claimed my music, said all she needed to hear.
- 1:04:31Someone was sick here. Likely from the same type of
- 1:04:34parasite we used Onchoske. This hampered the small
- 1:04:49childlike. Shunpei, the stable boy.
- 1:04:53Do you see him among the bodies? No.
- 1:04:56Maybe he got away. Listen, do you hear anything?
- 1:05:07Someone's hiding in the walls. That's where the innkeeper
- 1:05:10instructed us to go should the 9 tails attack.
- 1:05:27We know you're in there, kid. Shunpei, it's me.
- 1:05:37Oh, oh, you hurt. No.
- 1:05:40But the others? Don't think about them.
- 1:05:44You're safe, you survived. Because I ran, you ran, so you
- 1:05:52can help me find who did this. Any detail is helpful.
- 1:05:57Did the 9 tails say anything? They did not speak, but their
- 1:06:02clothes were wet and they smelled of flowers, rose and
- 1:06:07Jasmine, camellia blooms. There's a waterfall near the
- 1:06:11entrance of Tishio Ridge. It's banks are covered in
- 1:06:14camellias. Show me if you are leaving,
- 1:06:19we're going to avenge your friends.
- 1:06:22Run home Xanpei, hug your mother tight.
- 1:06:25I will. You know your flowers.
- 1:06:44Mother kept the garden. Whatever the season, something
- 1:06:48was always in bloom. The smells have stayed with me.
- 1:06:53I'd like to see it one day. It's all weeds now.
- 1:06:56Then I'd like to help replant it with your permission.
- 1:07:00Maybe once the Yote 6 are dead. You never told me how you met
- 1:07:28Dojo. I found him living off the land,
- 1:07:31too old to be taken in by a family, too young to be on his
- 1:07:35own. You took care of him.
- 1:07:39I tried at first. I told him little tricks to
- 1:07:42protect himself, but he was such an eager student I began to
- 1:07:46teach him more. Until he was no longer a boy,
- 1:07:49but A9 tail. Dojin changed after meeting Lord
- 1:07:54Saito. Saito came here.
- 1:07:57To check on my progress with the 9 tails, I tried to keep the 2
- 1:08:00apart, but Dojin snuck in to see him.
- 1:08:03And once Saito realized you were close.
- 1:08:06He was all too happy to use my favorite pupil against me.
- 1:08:09If Saito suspected disloyalty, why not just kill you?
- 1:08:13To make me suffer, he wanted me to believe that no one would
- 1:08:17accept the woman behind the mosque.
- 1:08:19He was wrong. Camellias along the river smell
- 1:08:28the Rose and Jasmine. It's like being back in mother's
- 1:08:30garden, Zhumpei said. The Nine Tails clothes were wet.
- 1:08:40Every waterfall has its secrets. Oh, Yuki,
- 1:09:16Well, we're in the right place. Locked.
- 1:09:25Of course, we're back to hunting symbols.
- 1:09:29There's something I don't understand.
- 1:09:31Why didn't Dojo never try to attack you at the Red Crane Inn?
- 1:09:35Because he stole the title of kitsune through manipulation,
- 1:09:39not Marshall Paris. He's afraid of you.
- 1:09:42Then maximize presence gave Dojan the perfect excuse not to
- 1:09:45act outright. But once they were gone.
- 1:09:48He had to do something. I wish we knew for certain he
- 1:09:51was here. There are only so many places to
- 1:09:54hide, even in tissue or Ridge. Damn, things won't stay put.
- 1:10:47What if we turn them together? Ready.
- 1:10:52Ready. So much for a quiet entrance.
- 1:11:03We should assume they know we're coming.
- 1:11:20That's unnerving. Look scratch marks on the ground
- 1:11:29a. Hidden passage.
- 1:11:32The Nine tails are almost certain they're waiting for us.
- 1:11:35Why walk into a trap when we can spring one ourselves?
- 1:11:55It's dark, so use your ears. Listen for breathing, shuffling
- 1:12:00feet. Just like we did at the village,
- 1:12:03remember? Together, quick and quiet.
- 1:12:37Now the others. I see you.
- 1:13:23That's all of them. Impressive.
- 1:13:25You fought like a true shinobi. I had a good teacher.
- 1:13:30What is this place? A map room, perhaps?
- 1:13:34What are you up to? Dojun Otsu?
- 1:13:36Look at this. He has markers as far South as
- 1:13:40Nagasaki. Spies to keep an eye on the
- 1:13:43Shogun. I tried to delay sending the 9
- 1:13:46tails to the mainland. The Dojo has proven more
- 1:13:49amenable. More reason to kill him.
- 1:13:52Without their master, those spies will be forced to ground.
- 1:13:56And Saito will lose his eyes and ears in the South.
- 1:14:06How do we get out of here? Over here, give me a boost.
- 1:14:11Let me see if there's a ladder. Here we are.
- 1:14:19It must be hard seeing the man Dojin's become.
- 1:14:22He had such potential. That boy I found in the woods.
- 1:14:39Feel that breeze this was. Laid back outside.
- 1:15:11Foxfire. Careful, this is the perfect
- 1:15:14place for an ambush. You are right, an ambush.
- 1:15:41It's almost like I taught them. stayed in hiding.
- 1:16:25And you should watch your footwork.
- 1:16:30Is that you, Ondio? Don't you train them well?
- 1:16:55Don't sound so proud. Good one, Let's see if.
- 1:17:18The stories are true. Let's move before more arrive.
- 1:17:33Back at the harvesting site, was that the first time you've seen
- 1:17:36Dojin since he betrayed you? I tried to track him down,
- 1:17:40especially after he began targeting travelers and
- 1:17:42settlers. He always eluded me.
- 1:17:45Then you've never really talked. What is there to say through
- 1:17:56here? I'm with you this.
- 1:18:11gotten fired up. Hand over the traitor and we'll
- 1:18:15let you walk away. No, I'm ready.
- 1:18:26You are too small to be a danger.
- 1:19:35going to work. What shinobi?
- 1:19:46For there to be so many, we must be getting close to Dojo.
- 1:19:49Assuming he's here. He is.
- 1:19:51I feel it. The only way forward is through
- 1:21:33those doors. Oyuki, I need to know you won't
- 1:21:36hesitate. Why would I?
- 1:21:38Because you wish Dojin was still that.
- 1:21:40Boy, you took in. He's not.
- 1:21:43He belongs to Saito now, remember that.
- 1:22:09You know the truth, and still you stand by her.
- 1:22:13We have a common enemy. Lord Sito Oh Yuki is his most
- 1:22:19loyal servant. Liar.
- 1:22:21She lets your mother hang, made you watch.
- 1:22:26I didn't thought so. She will never betray him.
- 1:22:34She already did when she let me go.
- 1:22:39And that's enough to earn your forgiveness.
- 1:22:43It's a start. Then you will die with her.
- 1:22:56Focus on Dojo, I'll deal with the others.
- 1:24:45I didn't murder your family. Killed others all across Tesio
- 1:24:52Ridge. All fire toes.
- 1:24:55You tell them you can be part of it.
- 1:24:58Just kill all your kid. No.
- 1:26:44You need a new trick. Oh, how are you resisting?
- 1:26:48She knows what is real and what is only an illusion.
- 1:27:05Surrender Dojon. I can't answer to you, only Lord
- 1:27:10Saito, you. Chose the wrong master.
- 1:27:31Yuki took you in, why betray her?
- 1:27:34Because she's stuck in the car. One psycho have a vision, a
- 1:27:56place for me by his side he is. Using you go.
- 1:28:00You were using me great bad. but feel like I failed him.
- 1:28:21You have much to atone for. But Dojoon.
- 1:28:25He failed himself. Saito has lost his spymaster.
- 1:28:31Focus on that. What now?
- 1:28:37We cross the remaining names off the list.
- 1:28:44Meet me at my family's homestead when you're ready.
- 1:28:50Otsu, thank you for believing in me.
- 1:29:02See you around. And so the only in the kitchen
- 1:29:26they join the snake among the dead.
- 1:29:29How could one woman 'cause so much damage?
- 1:29:33Duh. But haven't you heard?
- 1:29:36She isn't the woman, she's a vengeful ghost.
- 1:29:42Peasants and their superstitions.
- 1:29:44That night has come back to haunt us.
- 1:29:47Stop being so dramatic. Clan Matsumai serves the Shogun.
- 1:29:52They are the enemy, not some dead girl with a grudge.
- 1:29:57Yes, Father. As you command.
- 1:30:40Mother, Father, I'm one step closer.
- 1:31:14Straight from the battle. The perfect good for any
- 1:31:17warrior. Smells like opportunity, doesn't
- 1:31:20it? Fantastic choice, picked for
- 1:31:32those who needed more. A dye like this is hard to come
- 1:31:49by. I've developed new techniques.
- 1:31:57carefully. Three names left.
- 1:32:36Let's go. Someone's here.
- 1:32:48Cheer pay. You came home.
- 1:33:11I should have been here to help you bury them.
- 1:33:15You're here now. She's her father now.
- 1:34:32It's. OK, save the tears.
- 1:34:45Why are you doing this? All of this.
- 1:34:48Screaming is giving me a headache.
- 1:35:23It dragged me back here, stabbed me to this tree, then Neoni set
- 1:35:31it on fire. And then Ondeo was born.
- 1:35:36I've never talked to anyone about that night, but we should.
- 1:35:42If not for ourselves and for mother and father.
- 1:35:49Walk with me. Father's forge.
- 1:36:05He died where he was most alive. After I cut the own knee's face,
- 1:36:18I remember for the briefest moment thinking we were safe.
- 1:36:24But the nightmare had only just begun.
- 1:36:38The tree survived the fire. After they separated us, Saito
- 1:36:45made me watch as he hung mother from that branch.
- 1:36:50I like to think her spirit protected the tree somehow.
- 1:36:53I was so scared I ran away. I ran too.
- 1:37:00With mother gone, I broke away from the Quitzaner.
- 1:37:06It's a miracle we found each other.
- 1:37:14I've had so many nightmares about this place.
- 1:37:18Even now I remember the dragon and spider hunting a stone the
- 1:37:25way you fell. We can't let them win or two.
- 1:37:29There were good times here too. The house was always full of
- 1:37:32laughter. Strange for something to be so
- 1:37:54familiar and yet unrecognizable. Is that?
- 1:38:05Mother Sonny had your keyboard. You want to play.
- 1:38:08As long as you don't mind losing, you start, I insist.
- 1:38:14Giving up the advantage. I don't want to hear any excuses
- 1:38:18when I win. Never thought about it before,
- 1:38:46but then the hajiki is for gamblers, not mothers and
- 1:38:50children. She learned the winter we were
- 1:38:52born they needed money and the local gambling, then thought a
- 1:38:56proper lady like her would be harmless.
- 1:38:59They were wrong. She cleared them out.
- 1:39:06This game was mine. Have you ever thought about
- 1:39:16having a family? The path I'm on has no place for
- 1:39:20a child. And when that path ends.
- 1:39:25I don't know. But there's something I've been
- 1:39:35meaning to tell you. I.
- 1:39:36Didn't expect you to have company.
- 1:39:42Who is this? Oyuki, a friend.
- 1:39:49This is Jube, my brother. He grew up and became samurai.
- 1:40:00I feel I would remember if we've met.
- 1:40:06You knew me as the kitsune. Is she serious?
- 1:40:16We crossed paths and test your age.
- 1:40:19Oyuki helped me cut down the man who replaced her, Saito's spy
- 1:40:22master. You invited a member of the Yute
- 1:40:256 to our home. She's not with them, not
- 1:40:29anymore. You were willing to sacrifice
- 1:40:32anything and everyone to kill the O'Neill.
- 1:40:36How has this woman who murdered our parents earned the Ondio's
- 1:40:42mercy? She saved my life.
- 1:40:46That's not enough. Tube.
- 1:40:50You're right, it's not enough. What I have taken from you
- 1:40:56cannot be given back, but what I can give to you is knowledge.
- 1:41:03Saito and his sons are gathering forces near the Oshima coast.
- 1:41:11They're planning to attack us on what's my my home.
- 1:41:16We'll come with you. No, it's hard enough for me to
- 1:41:19defend you to my clan. I will not defend her.
- 1:41:29He needs time, Matzo. He has until we reach the Oshima
- 1:41:41coast. There's a mutsu, my checkpoint
- 1:42:05guarding the Oshima coast. I'll ride ahead to secure US
- 1:42:08travel permits once my horse is rested.
- 1:42:12Before I was sent to Tishio Ridge, I used to ride by here.
- 1:42:18I thought of living flowers, but I couldn't bring myself to step
- 1:42:24inside. This was Dubai's first time
- 1:42:29back, too. If I'd known who he was, I would
- 1:42:33have waited. It's fine.
- 1:42:35I should have told him sooner. It's just hard being here with
- 1:42:41him, and you do. You know what I remember most
- 1:42:47from that night? Your mother's courage.
- 1:42:52Even with a noose around her neck, she thought only of you.
- 1:43:01When food was scarce, she'd go hungry so the rest of us could
- 1:43:05eat. Claimed she ate her fill while
- 1:43:08cooking, but I watched her. I knew the truth.
- 1:43:13That she loved you. I'll see you on the Oshima
- 1:43:17coast. Shimaki no shimaki.
- 1:44:21I can't believe it. She's here.
- 1:44:28Stay back, spirits. I'm warning you.
- 1:44:32I thought you wanted to fight to the death.
- 1:44:34Cut her down. No, nobody will never take me.
- 1:46:45Hatsu, you're back. Santos man giving you any
- 1:46:49trouble? I think he has bigger concerns.
- 1:46:52Thank you again for your help. Kengo would be proud.
- 1:47:30So this is how they see me. To me,
- 1:47:52Ayuki, what happened? Saito must have launched his
- 1:47:55offensive. I only just arrived.
- 1:47:57Help me get that gate open quick.
- 1:48:01Any sign of Dube? None.
- 1:48:50Damn it, guns down by the side door, brothers.
- 1:48:55Their father has been planning this for years.
- 1:48:57Full scale assault against the maximized seat of power.
- 1:49:01We need to find Jubei. Dube.
- 1:49:53There he is. Dube.
- 1:49:57You made it. Did you run into any trouble?
- 1:50:01Only bodies. These people were innocent, gone
- 1:50:05down with no one to defend them. You should prepare yourself.
- 1:50:09The spider and the dragon will wipe out whole villages to
- 1:50:12please their father. Spoken from experience.
- 1:50:17I told you I will put things right for what I did to your
- 1:50:20family. Oyuki is on our side, Dubey, you
- 1:50:24can trust her. Just help me kill those two
- 1:50:28bastards. My men are waiting ahead.
- 1:50:32Let's go. The dragon and spider wields
- 1:50:36firearms. We may be riding into a storm of
- 1:50:38gunfire. Better us than more civilians.
- 1:50:41These men are samurai. They will not be defeated by the
- 1:50:44rebels. Saito called an army.
- 1:52:23man. The war is upon us.
- 1:52:26Our homes burn, our families scatter, their blood Gunner
- 1:52:39don't. Stop, she'll gunner.
- 1:52:44Run through them like their lines.
- 1:54:26Marsh Shields Gunners. Right, cover.
- 1:54:29We are here reloading. That's all right. what a day.
- 1:55:53Oh, you're too late. The spider and dragon have
- 1:55:55already won. Clan Matsumai will not accept
- 1:55:58defeat so easily. Matsu, you've fought at
- 1:56:01Sikigahara. What's our move?
- 1:56:05The gates fallen, they broke through.
- 1:56:07Any sign of the spider or dragon?
- 1:56:09None. Most of the dead are Matsumai.
- 1:56:14Whatever we do, we won't have backup.
- 1:56:16We expected an attack, but not here, not on the scale.
- 1:56:24Enemy soldiers are splitting up. Some will hold this position,
- 1:56:28others are charging ahead. Toward Matsumi Castle.
- 1:56:33We need to get through that gate quickly.
- 1:56:36Leaving now would be suicide. Enough I don't need advice from
- 1:56:40a member of the yot sex. Yuki is on our side, and she's
- 1:56:48right. If we go out there now, we're
- 1:56:50dead. We can't just sit here.
- 1:56:53What's gotten into you? Please ought to trust me.
- 1:56:58Then trust me enough to explain what's going on.
- 1:57:04I have family on the other side of that gate.
- 1:57:08Family. What do you mean?
- 1:57:11Someone very close to me if any harm comes to them.
- 1:57:16I won't let that happen, I swear it.
- 1:57:21Our best chance is to wait until the sun goes down.
- 1:57:24We can use the cover of night to reach the gate.
- 1:57:27Thank you. They've made camp for the night.
- 1:57:35Let's reach that gate. Over there.
- 2:00:21Nice to Sure, again.
- 2:03:40Almost there. Quietly now.
- 2:03:52Trouble ahead. Finish them quick the.
- 2:03:58Merchant saw a. Knife forged under a full.
- 2:04:54Hurry with me. You have no choice.
- 2:05:24Obey or you will die. Please, we are just farmers.
- 2:05:34Your marks my are dead. Swear your allegiance to Lord
- 2:05:38Saito or share their faith. Take that musket and go up
- 2:05:42tough. Cover me.
- 2:05:44Jubay, you're sure? If I don't go out there, they'll
- 2:05:48kill the hostages. Be ready.
- 2:06:19Let your loyalty to Lord Saito, his sons shot my wife.
- 2:06:27Execution by musket. That girl is next.
- 2:06:30They fight dirty, so can you. Stop for you.
- 2:06:34Killing these people won't help. They're just farmers.
- 2:06:38That's it, Jube. Keep them distracted.
- 2:06:41Maybe we'll kill you. I could shrimp the leader, but.
- 2:06:44Spare the. Girl, too many others.
- 2:06:46They killed Jubei. Gunpowder.
- 2:06:49That will do the trick. Are you good, the farmer?
- 2:07:46They they killed.
- 2:07:59Him, listen to me. You are safe.
- 2:08:01Now I'm here. Who are they?
- 2:08:30I'm Matsu. She's my sister.
- 2:08:41I I have an aunt. Yes.
- 2:08:48And you can fight. I can handle a blade.
- 2:08:56I hope you killed that bastard to murder the farmer.
- 2:09:00What? He deserved it.
- 2:09:03He did, and he's dead now. Maybe it's best we get moving.
- 2:09:25Yes, yes, Have a niece?
- 2:09:58Why didn't you tell me? I wasn't sure how.
- 2:10:01So you hid her for me? Because she's not ready for your
- 2:10:04world. What other world is there?
- 2:10:06This world, how much happens here until today.
- 2:10:13I'm sorry, children should never have to see such violence.
- 2:10:17Kiku, this is Oyuki. She's.
- 2:10:23An ally. To some good a Matsumaya castle
- 2:10:36still stands. It won't last long.
- 2:10:40Saito planned for this. He sent his sons to strangle the
- 2:10:44Matsumayi. Their army will overrun the
- 2:10:46coast. The siege will last months.
- 2:10:49What's going to happen? Oyuki underestimates Clan
- 2:10:53Matsumayi. We will rally now.
- 2:10:56We have to go, Kiku. We'll be safe inside the castle.
- 2:10:59Well, Yuki and I will scout around.
- 2:11:01I'll post a guard in town, you'll know where to find me.
- 2:11:05Be safe, there will be no end to Saito's forces.
- 2:11:17It's the Southern wars all over again, thousands dying for the
- 2:11:22mistakes of their leaders. If only I could corner the
- 2:11:25dragon and spider then this all with my own blade.
- 2:11:30That sounds like the only you're talking.
- 2:11:35It's good strategy, nothing more.
- 2:11:39Just remember Andreo are a myth. You are still flesh and blood.
- 2:11:44Only for as long as it takes to kill them.
- 2:11:47Tell that to Jube and your niece.
- 2:11:53Let's get a lay of the land. What do you see?
- 2:12:01I see the town looks like it's in danger.
- 2:12:04Bent in port, its residents are likely retreating to the castle.
- 2:12:11There's Matsumaya Castle. Safe for the moment, but Saito's
- 2:12:15sons won't stop until it's walls crumble.
- 2:12:18The dragon and the spider could be anywhere.
- 2:12:21Check on your brother and niece, Atsu.
- 2:12:23There's also a man, Matchlock Murata, who can make you a
- 2:12:26pistol. Look for him at the headwaters
- 2:12:29of the Karatsu River. And you?
- 2:12:32I have contacts everywhere. I'll turn over some rocks and
- 2:12:35find Saito's sons. Stay safe, Oyuki.
- 2:13:30I can make your bow sing if you have the coin.
- 2:13:34You'd be quite deadly with these, I'm sure.
- 2:13:39Can I interest you in something else?
- 2:13:41I should probably. Hey boy, that's if she might be.
- 2:15:39The craftsmanship is beautiful. It's in good hands, I promise.
- 2:16:28She must be right. None.
- 2:19:00Let's go. You must be Atsu.
- 2:19:05Depends who's asking. Lord Kitamori told me to escort
- 2:19:08you to him. Then lead on.
- 2:19:25I'm surprised the town survived the invasion.
- 2:19:27We stopped titles forces on the outskirts.
- 2:19:30Many Matsumai died in the battle.
- 2:19:32How long can you hold out? As long as it takes.
- 2:19:36But they have guns. And no honor, their weapons
- 2:19:40killed from a distance, indiscriminate.
- 2:19:42You have to adapt. We fight the way Matsumai have
- 2:19:45always fought. Our blades will win the day.
- 2:19:49And what about these people? They will be safe in the castle
- 2:19:52if we can feed them all. Open the gates.
- 2:20:21The dragon kicked. Us out of our home.
- 2:20:25Rod Kitamuri's residence is through here.
- 2:20:27He's waiting for you. Pretty flowers are nice, but
- 2:20:31it's more than that. I.
- 2:20:33Like how they look? They should first express
- 2:20:36emotion, how you're feeling. The world's on fire, and the
- 2:20:55Matsumaya commander has time for flower arrangements.
- 2:20:59I don't, but my father does. Are you sure about that one?
- 2:21:07It symbolizes grief. Despair.
- 2:21:12That's. How I feel.
- 2:21:19Kika, what happened to you at that camp won't happen again.
- 2:21:24Ever. I won't let it.
- 2:21:27But you can't be everywhere. I should know how to fight, not
- 2:21:32play with flowers. Patience Kika, it's not that
- 2:21:40simple. Now I have to go report to
- 2:21:45Commander WADA. Can you finish this arrangement?
- 2:21:50I guess. Skills come from.
- 2:21:54Practice. Can OTSU help?
- 2:22:05Well, I suppose. Good, maybe you 2 can get to
- 2:22:15know each other. Thank you.
- 2:22:21I know this is all sudden, but we'll talk later, I promise.
- 2:22:32Right, where do we start? You'll need to choose a flower.
- 2:22:41You're the expert. I never remember what all the
- 2:22:44flowers mean so I just make it up.
- 2:22:47That's one way. That's a white flower, I think,
- 2:22:56Father said. It stands for hope and renewal.
- 2:23:00You think? That's.
- 2:23:09A purple flower. I don't remember what it means.
- 2:23:14I recognize it. That's about not forgetting.
- 2:23:18Go ahead, pick one. Now we just need one more this
- 2:23:24way. How come you never visited us?
- 2:23:28Your father and I lost touch. Why?
- 2:23:31That's a story for another time. The orange one I remember it
- 2:23:39symbolizes hatred and revenge. I guess it made an impression.
- 2:23:43I never knew Flowers could be angry.
- 2:23:48What's this one mean? That I wasn't paying attention
- 2:23:53when father explained it. I think it should mean patience
- 2:23:58for having to learn all of this works.
- 2:24:01For me. Which one do you like?
- 2:24:05Good. If you put them in a vase, we
- 2:24:08can finish the arrangement. I hope this makes father happy.
- 2:24:13Sometimes he seems sad and I don't know why.
- 2:24:17He's been through a lot more than even I knew.
- 2:24:23There we go. Father would ask you what the
- 2:24:27arrangement means. The purple flower, Who won't you
- 2:24:32forget? People I lost.
- 2:24:35And the Blue 1 Patience. That's something I know a lot
- 2:24:41about. Thank you for the lesson Sensei,
- 2:24:47but I should check on your father.
- 2:24:49We have a dragon and spider to hunt.
- 2:24:52I'll show you where he is. Besides, I have a friend I'd
- 2:24:56like you to meet. Have you always lived on the
- 2:25:03castle grounds? As long as I can remember, I
- 2:25:06stay here where it's safe while Father carries out his duties
- 2:25:10across this but. You must be proud of him.
- 2:25:14You guys done well. I just wish we spent more time
- 2:25:17together. He probably feels the same.
- 2:25:21All these villagers. It's the war.
- 2:25:24Their homes have been overrun. They don't deserve this Agree.
- 2:25:30Meet Aunt Atsu your. Friend is a horse.
- 2:25:33His leg was lame. The Mazumaya wanted to put him
- 2:25:37down, but I told them I'd care for him.
- 2:25:40Most people wouldn't bother. They aren't the ones about to be
- 2:25:43put down. Come on.
- 2:25:46My father is this way You. Have.
- 2:25:58To help. What's that all about?
- 2:26:00I told you there is nothing more to be done my.
- 2:26:03Husband's leg is infected. You told us we'd have medicine.
- 2:26:07The soldiers need it. We have orders to lock it up in
- 2:26:10the Armory. But we need help.
- 2:26:14They can't do this. I know where the Armory is.
- 2:26:18He could sneak in and take some medicine for these people.
- 2:26:21This is a war, Kiku. They have to ration it.
- 2:26:25We'll only take what we need. We have to help these people, no
- 2:26:30one else will. What makes you think I'd go
- 2:26:33along with this? Because you're the only old
- 2:26:37everyone's talking about, aren't you?
- 2:26:40The way I heard it, the only old doesn't exactly help people.
- 2:26:45Killing the your taste 6 helps everyone.
- 2:26:49They see their names on your belt and the way you fought the
- 2:26:52other night. Besides, my father told me you
- 2:26:57were the ghost. Nice try, but Jubei wouldn't say
- 2:27:04that. Doesn't mean it's not the truth.
- 2:27:08Come on, the medicines this way. Hello.
- 2:27:12Wait. Deny it all you want, I know
- 2:27:16you're the only all everyone's talking about.
- 2:27:18Up to no good again, Kiku. Just robbing the Armory.
- 2:27:22You have the wrong idea about me, Kiku.
- 2:27:25The stable master said you fight for people who can't fight back.
- 2:27:30Not exactly quietly now, never rush in.
- 2:27:43Always examine That Brazier.
- 2:28:22We might be able to use it as a distraction.
- 2:28:25OK, here's the plan. We'll shoot that Brazier, start
- 2:28:28a fire, draw the cards. Attention then.
- 2:28:31Kiku, are you going? Hey, over here.
- 2:28:35What, Kiku, what are you doing here?
- 2:28:39Commander WADA needs to see right away at the stables.
- 2:28:42What for? It's a horse emergency.
- 2:28:46You don't want to keep on waiting.
- 2:28:48Right, let's go. A horse emergency.
- 2:28:57Better than setting the castle on fire.
- 2:29:00Well, let's get moving before they come back.
- 2:29:04I'll find a way over the gate and pull you up.
- 2:29:06All right, you must sneak into lots of castles.
- 2:29:10With your knees. Your father helped.
- 2:29:12Really. He's good at this too.
- 2:29:16Can you teach me to do that? So you can get into more
- 2:29:19trouble. Wait for me.
- 2:29:34Those names on your belt, Why did you kill them?
- 2:29:38They deserved it. Did they hurt you?
- 2:29:41I'll tell you when you're older. The armory's on the other side
- 2:29:44of this wall. Can you boost me up?
- 2:29:47Let's do it. What have I gotten myself into,
- 2:30:27Jube? It was Keithley's idea.
- 2:30:29Don't look at me. Kiku, you OK?
- 2:30:37Better than you, it.
- 2:31:16There's a door, I'll unlock it for you.
- 2:31:18The medicine should be in here somewhere.
- 2:31:51here before someone finds us. Oh, what were you doing in
- 2:32:07there? The castle is so confusing.
- 2:32:13I lost my way. This nice girl was helping me.
- 2:32:17You're lying. We took some medicine for the
- 2:32:21refugees. Stealing.
- 2:32:23You will be sent to jail for that.
- 2:32:26You're new, right? If people don't get this
- 2:32:29medicine, there could be riots. Do you want to cause a riot?
- 2:32:34Well, I will have to speak to my commander.
- 2:32:38Do you mean Commander WADA? He's the one who sent us to get
- 2:32:41medicine. He did.
- 2:32:44We can all go talk to him, or you could let us go and you'd be
- 2:32:48a hero. You'd save your commander a lot
- 2:32:51of trouble. Yes, all right.
- 2:32:55It's important we keep order. Carry on.
- 2:32:59Nicely done. I'll go hand out this medicine,
- 2:33:03thank you. And that's it.
- 2:33:05Are you atsu? Lord Kitamori is waiting for you
- 2:33:08in the keep. Did he say what this is about?
- 2:33:13Only that it was urgent. This information is accurate
- 2:33:27within the last hour we will need to act.
- 2:33:32Commander WADA, I'm surprised you let me in the door.
- 2:33:36Lord Kitamori insisted we have word of the dragon.
- 2:33:40He's captured our lighthouse on the far side of the harbor.
- 2:33:42He's a hard one to pin down, but he's there now.
- 2:33:45Then let's go after him. This is my chance.
- 2:33:48But this is my war. No, it's Saito's war and his
- 2:33:57sons. Have you backed into a corner?
- 2:34:00If I bring down the dragon, Saito loses his right hand.
- 2:34:03He'll be weak. Commander Otsu is a weapon the
- 2:34:08Ondio strikes fear in the enemy. A lesson the only and Kitsune
- 2:34:11learned all too well. We need to use that.
- 2:34:16What do you propose? My man and I will storm the
- 2:34:19lighthouse while she goes after the dragon.
- 2:34:22Very well, take back our lighthouse and bring me the
- 2:34:26Dragon's head. The lighthouse is on the other
- 2:34:35side of the harbor. My men will be waiting.
- 2:34:45I'm surprised you went along with this, Jude.
- 2:34:47There's no denying your reputation.
- 2:34:49We may as well use it. Anything to avenge mother and
- 2:34:52father. We will bring them justice and
- 2:34:54win this war. For Clan Matsumi and Kiku, how
- 2:35:00did it go with her? She sometimes finds flower
- 2:35:03arrangements trying. We had a little adventure.
- 2:35:08Do I want to know? Probably not, but she cares.
- 2:35:13Gets that from her father. And her knack for causing
- 2:35:16trouble? Who does she get that from?
- 2:35:19You should have told me about her.
- 2:35:21I'm sorry, I was trying to shield her.
- 2:35:24There's the world Kiku believes in, and the one that you and I
- 2:35:27know is real. She's already in it, Jubei.
- 2:35:30She's growing up fast. That's what I'm afraid of.
- 2:35:34I've been too busy to know this. The lighthouse is just ahead.
- 2:35:40Do you think this plan will work?
- 2:35:42I hope so. Our scouts have only caught
- 2:35:44glimpses of the dragon. Because he's careful, he knows
- 2:35:47he's a target we'll only get one shot at.
- 2:35:50Him. Then let's make it count.
- 2:35:55This is it. We'll speak with my soldiers.
- 2:36:02Go, go. Man, the hour has come.
- 2:36:11We fight back. We kick the enemy off our shore.
- 2:36:15My associate and I will focus on killing the dragon, a woman.
- 2:36:20That's right, and I'll be the last thing these dogs ever see.
- 2:36:25She and I will sneak in and confirm the Dragons here, wait
- 2:36:29for our signal, then blow the gates and attack.
- 2:36:32Men, take your positions. This way, Arthur, we'll climb up
- 2:36:36the rocks. I'll boost you up.
- 2:37:00Let's find a good vantage point, see if we can spot the dragon.
- 2:37:04He'll be well guarded. My man will thin his ranks
- 2:37:09through here. That's a lot of soldiers.
- 2:37:15Enough to seize the lighthouse from us, and like you said, he
- 2:37:19knows he's a target. I see you're Matsumaye.
- 2:37:23They're in position. They'll wait for my signal.
- 2:37:25We have to get a lay of the land first.
- 2:37:27That boat offshore, is it the Dragons?
- 2:37:34Looks like it. A warship fit for Saito's son.
- 2:37:38He must be here somewhere. There's the bastard.
- 2:37:43He's taking Matsumaye prisoners. Kill them.
- 2:37:55All now he's headed for the lighthouse.
- 2:38:03They're going to execute the Monsumaye.
- 2:38:05Animals and we'll stop them. Let's get down there,
- 2:42:19Are you injured? I can still fight, Lord
- 2:42:22Kitamori. My blade is yours.
- 2:42:25The Dragon's still here. We have to press our advantage.
- 2:42:28There's no time to lose those who are able follow me.
- 2:42:33Death to the dragon the on yours here with more Matsumi dogs.
- 2:42:41Kill anyone who comes through that gate.
- 2:42:45Fire breakthrough, take cover. Bring those Gunners down.
- 2:42:52Come. In we can't give the dragon time
- 2:42:55to escape. Come in.
- 2:43:07Underneath. dragon soup is opening fire.
- 2:47:34He knows he's trapped. I'll deal with this ship.
- 2:47:37You get to the lighthouse and kill him.
- 2:47:44Don't let up. We turn them
- 2:47:56on the rock. I'm.
- 2:48:03Coming for you. You die trying.
- 2:48:14You can't hide behind your guns any longer.
- 2:48:35The dragon is on board. Go.
- 2:48:38We'll go off in water. Answer.
- 2:48:44He got away, Jubae, the bastard got away.
- 2:48:49At least you're not hurt. And we saved the prisoners, took
- 2:48:53the lighthouse back. That ought to give Saito a black
- 2:49:02eye, but what now? The Dragon's out of reach.
- 2:49:08I don't know. Well, there are two Saito
- 2:49:14brothers. The Spider.
- 2:49:17He may not be as cautious as the dragon.
- 2:49:19True. If we can find him, we'll have
- 2:49:22to discuss it with Commander WADA first.
- 2:49:25Sweet talk him if you want, just send word to Oyuki.
- 2:49:29Let's hope she was able to pick up the spider's trail.
- 2:49:33We'll meet back at my house later.
- 2:49:35They won't slip away from us again, I'd say.
- 2:49:38No they won't. Thank you again for saving us.
- 2:50:01Any sign of sight those forces returning?
- 2:50:03They fled like the cowards they are, thanks to you and Lord
- 2:50:07Kitamori. I wonder what this goes for.
- 2:50:45It's you, I have maps if you need them.
- 2:50:49This is what I get for serving the Shogun being stuck in the
- 2:50:53middle of a war. Here I thought you'd be eager to
- 2:50:56fight next to the Matsumaye Saburo.
- 2:50:58Don't. Be ridiculous.
- 2:51:01What am I supposed to do against an army of guns?
- 2:51:03Paint them a pretty picture. I think you underestimate your
- 2:51:06talents. Just buy your maps and get on
- 2:51:11with it here. I have the goods.
- 2:51:29If you have the coin, you won't find a better deal.
- 2:51:38What else can I get you? I hope the war is over soon.
- 2:51:49Want some easy coin dream? Some lifespans.
- 2:52:03If you have the coin, I have what you need.
- 2:52:07Didn't think you'd be anywhere near a world like this.
- 2:52:09I can take my business wherever I think best.
- 2:52:12Not that bows do much against guns, but at least people can
- 2:52:18defend themselves. I'm sure people appreciate it.
- 2:52:25Try not to get shot out there. Take care.
- 2:53:19So many offerings for the Ondio. Even with a war going on, people
- 2:53:25still leave gifts for the Ondio. It gives them hope if it's true
- 2:53:31she killed the only and the Kitchener.
- 2:53:34She's the only thing standing in Saito's way.
- 2:53:57Wonder if I will ever get to see home again.
- 2:55:01Can't believe how bad. I don't want any trouble from
- 2:55:29you. The.
- 2:56:53Spider is within our grasp that we must move quickly.
- 2:56:57Kiku, go finish your chores. The three of us have much to
- 2:57:01discuss. Oyuki, tell me you have news.
- 2:57:04The Spider seized a number of samurai holdings during the
- 2:57:07invasion. One has become his own personal
- 2:57:11retreat. The Great Tamara Estate is now a
- 2:57:13brothel and opium den. That's where we'll get him.
- 2:57:17The spider does not have the same military value as the
- 2:57:20dragon. This won't make up for our
- 2:57:22failure at the lighthouse. Unless we use him as bait to
- 2:57:27lure in his brother. You're assuming the dragon
- 2:57:30cares. During my travels, I met an
- 2:57:37Odachi master, he said when the spider was wounded in battle,
- 2:57:41the dragon refused to leave his side.
- 2:57:44It's true, even when Lord Saito ordered him to leave, it was the
- 2:57:48only time I ever saw the dragon disobey his father.
- 2:57:52What do you suggest? An assault on the estate.
- 2:57:55We can't risk alerting the spider.
- 2:57:58Atsu and I should slip in alone, quietly.
- 2:58:01Commander WADA won't like. That I'll handle him, just don't
- 2:58:05come back empty handed. Meet me in the forest outside
- 2:58:09the estate when you're ready, Atsu.
- 2:58:11I'll ride ahead to scout the area.
- 2:58:19You have a lot of faith in that woman.
- 2:58:22Oyuki has proven herself so far. Whenever she's near I can't help
- 2:58:27but feel there's a knife at my back.
- 2:58:30That night before you were shot, I only found you because Oyuki
- 2:58:36helped me escape. Lord Saito branded her as
- 2:58:40punishment with her father's tools.
- 2:58:44Why are you telling me this? Because we spent a day with
- 2:58:47Saito, she was forced to live with him for years.
- 2:58:52It's. Easier to hate her.
- 2:58:57And I found out Oyuki was the kits in there.
- 2:58:59I tried to kill her. Maybe if I fought her, I'd feel
- 2:59:03better. The stakes are too high, Jubei.
- 2:59:10You better get going. Be careful against the spider,
- 2:59:15sister. Go to Oyuki.
- 2:59:18I'll handle Commander Water.
