You can't!
You can't come!
You coming on visiting day is a terrible idea!
How come? Did I do something wrong?
Where in the world do parents watch their children's classes
while bringing a sword with them?!
Don't think I'll forget this!
What's she ashamed of...?
Look at this cherry blossom tree, Michiko!
It was planted just as I was born...
And ten years later, it still had tons of flowers...
People that are shy like you are just ridiculous...
Listen to me, Michiko!
Whatever path you follow must be beautiful, like the flowers and trees...
I've got to be strong, right?
I'm tired of hearing that speech!
If you really don't want me to come...
you must defeat me!
As you wish...
Come on, get ready!
As if Sanjūrō "The Demon" would be taken out that easily.
Wait! Are you running away?!
Damn you, Michiko! You can't turn your back on your opponent!
Grand-daughter or not, I'll show you no mercy!
Fight me!
Even I, who mastered the path of the sword...
...can do nothing against my age.
Why... why you!
But if I faced you directly,
I'd have had no chance. My strategy was a success!
Well? You can't come.
I feel humiliated...
To be beaten like that by a girl...
I, Sanjūrō Tsurugi, have never felt such shame in my entire life!
Don't forget you're 80 years old!
I'm off!
Wait! Wait for me, will you?!
You're getting old, Sanjūrō...
Cherry blossom tree...
You're as old as I am...
In a way, you're like my other self...
Then, can you tell me why...
your flowers still bloom with such energy...
whereas I aged like this...?
I envy you...
If only I could be as young as you...
I could, once more...
Once more...

Play it Again

All right... I guess grandpa really isn't here.
Then again, is it really normal to open high-school classes to the public?
Geez, I fell asleep...
That Michiko's gonna pay for this.
Well, we're going to start reading from here.
Tsurugi-san.
Yes!
Michiko!
Michiko!!
Grandpa?! But I told him not to come!
Michiko! I want my revenge! Come on!
Who are you?
You think you're gonna mock me now?!
Hey, you. We're in the middle of a class here.
Also, what's with the outfit?!
Go change and go back to your class. Understood?!
Why you...
Michiko, who was that just now?
Who knows...
Are you kidding?
This is the best clothing I have!
Is there anything weird in it?
What the...?!
It looks like me, but younger...?
This... could this be for real?
A time trip?
No. I... I...
I became young again!
"New Life"
That kimono looked like grandpa's...
Hey, hey...
Hey, my body's so light!
I can run and run without getting tired!
Is being young this great?!
All right!
I'm gonna do everything I wanted to do until now!
Your friend's kind of odd, Michiko...
We're not friends, I tell you...
Everybody, it's a home run!
All right!
And it's a strike!
That's what being young's all about!
This is it!
Did you get a Sundae?
Of course!
Let's see...
"Mokichi Saitō"
Tōson...?
I haven't read this in ages...
With your fringes still rising,
I saw you next to the apple tree
with this flower comb in your hair,
and I thought you, too, were a flower...
Flower comb?
Of course!
This is really changed... it's completely changed.
What am I thinking? It's been over 60 years...
Beika Temple - 500 meters (1,640 feet)
This place hasn't changed...
It's here, it's here!
This is where I met that girl!
I see...
It must be in the back...
I knew it, there's a well...
But of course, it isn't being used anymore...
If I recall, her house was around here...
Well, this happened over 60 years ago...
Even if the house is there, there's no reason she would be...
I don't know where I am anymore...
Aren't you cold, grandmother?
No, it's all right.
What's wrong, grandmother?
Nothing...
This is the comb that let us meet,
him and me, back then...
Well, then, what should I do now?
Either way...
The pressure isn't the same when we're young!
Who's next?
Tell us, Nakadai-san.
Michiko Tsurugi, from class 2-4!
But I heard her gramps...
You're Nakadai-san, all right.
What? Even if he used to be a master,
he's nothing but a geezer now.
Besides... girls should be taken by force!
You creeps!
People like you aren't gonna touch Michiko!
Oh, man. He heard us!
We'll take care of that problem!
He's good!
Damn! He's mocking us...
Stand back! You're no match for him...
I'll handle him.
What a clown...
"Class 2-4"
A fight! A fight!
Nakadai, from the kendō club, is fighting against some weird guy!
Nakadai-sama...?
Oh? The Uintō guard?
Nothing like the brats you see all over the place.
You're an old fox...
And you're using the Takagasumi guard...
You're not a nobody.
I've got no choice...
I'll kill you!
Hikken: cherry blossom storm!
The cherry blossoms...?
The cherry blossoms are...
Nakadai-sama! Hang in there!
Mi... Michiko...
Don't tell me you...
you're in love with this guy...?!
- Amazing! - That was so cool!
I don't get it...
How come a man like him...?
"Infirmary"
Kendō geniuses like Nakadai-sama are rare...
He's not someone you should trifle with!
He's just some youngster...
What's that about? You're the one who lost.
If you like him that much,
then just leave me here and go to him!
I can't just leave someone here with an injury like that!
This is just a scratch!
Besides, I already have one at home...
A stubborn samurai who doesn't know when to quit.
You sound just like him.
That's why I can't just leave you!
Right, I'm done.
You're gonna make someone a good wife, Michiko...
Geez... "Michiko" this, "Michiko" that, shut up already.
And what's your name?
My name?
Well...
Sakura...
(lit. "Cherry Blossom")
Sanjūrō Sakura!
Weird name...
Eh?
I can't believe you don't have anywhere to go...
I warn you, if you try to do anything weird with me,
my grandpa'll kill you!
Who'd do that to their own grand-daughter...?
Nakadai-sama...
What are you doing here?
What? "What are you doing here?''
I want to fight you again.
You mean our fight back at noon didn't convince you?
This is a problem...
If I win...
You useless man! Get out of here!
And if I lose...
Nakadai-sama, you're so awesome.
Mi... Michiko...
What's wrong? Fight!
She'll probably say...
Then I'll make you fight!
A real sword?!
Don't do it, Nakadai-sama!
You're making a mistake.
You can't use a real sword against a weakling!
If you have to fight, fight me!
Like you could win!
Don't worry, Michiko-kun...
Once I've taken care of him, I'll be all yours!
Get ready!
Michiko!
Two-Swords Style?
The Heisei-era Musashi...
...is me!
Forget about the wooden swords at noon! Let's move ahead!
Sakura-kun...
Sakura-kun's going to die...!
The Heisei-era Musashi, huh?
How cute.
Your lust and ambition tarnish your swords...
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Where are you, grandpa?!
You're no Musashi...
Don't mock me!
Hey, moron, I've got more than one short sword!
Die!
Sakura-kun!
Sanjūrō Sakura...
Come...
Hikken: cherry blossom storm!
Tear his clothes!
I... lost...
Sakura-kun!
The cherry blossom flowers...?
This is terrible! I'll go get the first-aid kit...
I see...
Cherry blossom tree, it was you...
who gave me back my youth...
But I got what I wanted...
It's enough.
You gave me a great dream...
It was an amazing dream...
Grandpa!
Where'd you go, geez!
Oh, just went for a little walk...
Huh? Where did Sakura-kun go...?
Michiko...
Don't tell me you fell in love for some good-for-nothing?
What of it? He was much cooler than you, grandpa!
