KOZURE OKAMI Lone Wolf with cub
Go to Hell, Daigoro!
I heard, ltto Ogami had become an assassin together with his child
What are you saying by this
My Lord?
My dear,
what's wrong with the Yagyu-Clan?
You haven't been able to kill Itto Ogami, have you?
No.
Shame on you. You are the official assassins of the Shogunate.
There are people who want to make him an official enemy of the state.
Enemy of the state?
Yes. So the whole adminstration will be after him...
If this happens,
Nobody will take you serious as assassins any more.
Lord ...
Please!
Lord,
I still have my youngest daughter,
Kaori.
She's a skilled fighter ...
She will defeat Itto Ogami and
restore our reputation
You are still too slow.
You won't defeat Itto Ogami if you don't improve.
Next please!
If you watch the sword that's in the air the otherone
kills you.
Either sword you watch, the other
will kill you.
Next please!
Well done, Wanseki,
you understood the technique.
adjust the rhythm of the swords to the movement of your enemy
Make sure that one sword is always
in the air above your head
Then tempt your enemy to attack.
You didn't sacrifice your lives
for nothing.
Forgive us.
Kaori.
Yes.
Me and you, we are the only surviors
of the Ura-Yagyu-Clan.
You are
our last hope.
Take revenge for the death of your brothers.
Kill ltto Ogami
and his son, Daigoro!
I will.
Now go,
Farewell.
Ozunu lwane, leader of the Kurokuwa-Clan,
will lead you to ltto Ogami.
I've heard that Itto Ogami
is on his way to Edo.
You may go now.
Kaori, I will lead you.
l'll walk alone. - But,
Maybe my men have already killed him.
I don't think they are able to...
The wolf has moved westwards.
The wolf has moved east.
Welcome in our temple, Master Ogami.
I'm sorry to bother you again.
Follow me please.
Azami ...
I will take Daigoro
and go to Edo.
There I'll kill Retsudo Yagyu, and rehabilitate the name of Ogami.
The child of the wolf is here.
Daigoro?
We have to go. Bye!
One, two ...
... one, two ...
... three, four ...
... blossom ...
... like cherryflowers ...
Juggle-Sacks, filled with iron-powder ...
You are ...?
l am Kaori Yagyu.
You killed three of my brothers.
I am the last of the Yagyu.
ltto Ogami, your life and the life of your son are mine.
Your brothers?
I am Retsudo's child as well.
Come!
Because of this mirror, Kurando had to die.
As soon as I lower the distance, she'll get us.
How could you...
take your child on your shoulders,
although you knew my
juggle-technique?
That's coward for a father,
to use ones own child as
shield.
Both of us,
father and son, walk the way of hell.
We're standing on the edge of life and death.
Kaori is ...
Kaori ...!
Hyoei.
ls Hyoei here?
lt's me, Retsudo.
If you are close, answer!
Your three brothers
and your sister,
all have been killed through the hands of ltto Ogami.
You're the only one left.
If Ogami doesn't get killed,
not only the Tokugawa-administration,
but the whole Ura-Yagyu-Clan
will be made a laughingstock of the people.
Now
just you, Hyoei,
are left.
Hyoei, it's about time for you to take the heir of the Yagyu
and to kill Itto Ogami.
Hyoei, come back to your family,
join the Ura Yagyu once again
as son of Retsudo
and restore our reputation.
Just because your four legal
childs have been killed by Itto Ogami, I, Hyoei,
should accept you as my father?
To defeat Itto you have taken upon you the trouble of
getting deep into the mountains,
to find me.
Hyogo, Kurando, Gunbei and Kaori,
all your beloved failed.
And now I'm the only hope you got?
Kill ltto!
For us Yagyu.
I was the child of your concobine, that's why you released me,
here in the mountains,
at the age of five.
How did I wish to have my parents back.
A wonder that I survived.
Hyoei ... - Listen!
The ones I accept as my parents,
are the Tsuchigumo who raised me.
Hyoei,
Is that true?
I am no Yagyu no more.
l'll thwart the plans of the Yagyu!
Wait, Hyoei!
Wait!
lch rufe alle G�tter, die sich am Ufer der Stille des Jenseits aufhalten.
l pray to the almighty gods.
Three of us have been sent to the land of the dead.
to enlighten their souls.
Almighty gods,
answer our request and send them back.
Fighters, come out!
Mujo.
Muga.
Mumon.
You three
have been buried for 42 days.
This Tsuchigumo-Ceremony lets
you reawake as ghosts of braveness and spirituality.
You now belong neither to the living,
nor to the dead.
Time has come.
We Tsuchigumo sacrifice our lives for the sword.
We honour the way of warriors.
Our name will be heard everywhere in the country.
Kill ltto Ogami!
before the Yagyu kill him!
Bury the lone wolf with his child!
What a cute little boy.
Look. This is a flute.
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong ...
It gets longer and shorter
and melts pleasingly in your mouths ...
l'd like one. - Me too.
Here you got them.
One for your son?
Yes, I'll take one. - Thank you.
Thank you.
It tastes good.
Thanks.
Buy them ...
Daigoro!
Father and son, whereever you go,
innocent people have to die.
Who's there?
The woman, the merchant,
they had to die although they were innocent.
lsn't that sad?
Father and son, wherever you go,
innocent people have to die.
Forgive us to disturb you at this late hour,
we'd like to pass the night here.
One moment please.
Welcome. You must be tired.
Thank you. Omatsu? - Yes.
Drive away the cart. - Ja.
How cute!
l'll turn on the light.
Come in.
So, please. l'll prepare you something to eat.
We don't have anything special, but please have a little patience.
l let you wait.
Who's there?
No matter what you do. Asking somebody for a bed,
something to eat, anything else.
They will die.
How sad ...
Father and son, bringer of death.
Everywhere.
Tsuchigumo-Style.
Happyness, Anger, Grief, Pain and fear.
We take the people all five emotions and noting's left.
Tsuchigumo ...
We will take your,
Happyness, Anger, grief and pain.
The only emotion that is to stay
is horrible fear.
Taht is the Tsuchigumo-techinque.
Father and son, angels of death.
Every step you make is one step
closer to your death.
A message to Lord Retsudo.
Speak.
Master Hyoei uses an unknown
technique to drive Ogami to madness.
What? Hyoei?
Even ltto and his son seem to fear him.
Hyoei!
But Lord Retsudo ... - Shut up, Ozunu!
What's wrong with you Kurokuwa?
Are you still there or not?
Hyoei belongs to the Tsuchigumo. - forgive me,
It just seems so.
He's the one and only true heir of the Yagyu.
Your blood is in his veins.
But he refused to help me.
He rejected me.
He grew up in the mountains amongst the wild.
He knows nothing but loneliness and there's just one person who
could reach him. - Who could that be?
His younger sister,
Azusa.
Azusa ...
Ozunu, you'll have to go!
Azusa.
Listen to me.
I have news from your father, Lord Retsudo.
He begs you to calm down,
the heart of master Hyoei.
What have you buried there?
Daigoro ...
A careful man.
I am Kyudayu Kenmochi, Consultant of the Zeze-Clan.
I am the lone wolf.
Time is over.
Tell me the reason for your delay.
I want to thank you for your coming,
but due to certain reasons we have to take back our 'order'
I have 50 Ryo for you to show our good will.
Please take it.
Tell me the reason.
It's better for both ides not to talk about it.
Then why have you come?
Tell me.
The former Kaishakunin of the Shogunate deserves a better
treatment than an ordinary Assassin.
Another reason to tell me
the reason.
If you don't want to commit a breach of etiquette.
If you insist.
The reason are the Yagyu.
I know about the war between your families.
The Yagyu set up a trap
to become Kaishakunin instead of you.
You became an assasin
to rehabilitate your clan.
Times have changed
and so has the situation.
Why?
The Yagyu have certain plans,
dealing with you.
What plans? - They want to make you
an enemy of the state
to gather support in the whole country,
to arrest you.
Master Ogami, take my boat,
go to the northern side of the lake and hide in the mountains.
As soon as you're an official enemy of the state we'll have
to hunt you. Do you accept?
l thank you.
Daigoro ...
What are you doing?
A Samurai would never touch the sword with his feet.
As you came here your feet touched the sword. How can that be?
And then this masquerade.
Even for the chif consultant of the Zeze-Clan, this is inappropriate.
You ain't no Samurai.
You're a Tsuchigumo.
Well said, ltto Ogami. You got my number.
I am not Kyudayu Kennmochi.
I am Hyoei Tsuchigumo.
ltto Ogami,
die under the blade of the Tsuchigumos.
So what?
So that's your answer. - A Samurai honours his enemy.
Before a fight you have to tell your enemy
your true name.
I am Hyoei Tsuchigumo.
Hyoei Tsuchigumo? Laughable.
Why should the Tsuchigumo fight against me?
Did Retsudo Yagyu give you orders?
l don't know a Retsudo!
l heard Retsudo had a son who's name was Hyoei.
A bastard.
Shut up, ltto!
What is the meaning of father or child?
l, Hyoei, will kill you
and then expose Retsudo Yagyu.
The Tsuchigumo will have the power they deserve.
It belongs to the etiquette to tell your enemy your true name,
will you fight
like a Samurai
or like a man without honour?
Or are you simply so afraid of my Suio-Style,
that you need magic?
What�s up, Hyoei?
This is the known cowardice of the Tsuchigumo!
What?
Etiquette to kill an Assassin!
If you call yourself a Samurai
and you wish we were ones by ourselves,
you can have it.
Step back! Release him!
Let's fight, ltto Ogami!
I agree!
Tsuchigumo-Style, Hyoei Tsuchigumo.
Suio-Style,
ltto Ogami.
I had to take care of that we will be known throughout the
whole country as the true warriors.
And I had to convince you to fight
because we, father and son have to survive at any costs.
Forgive me
and understand those who walk
the way of hell.
l understand now.
Even for me there's something
I have to take care of before I die.
Shall we split to do what we have to do,
and meet again later if we're still alive?
I agree.
l'll have to ... Before I die ...
Elder brother!
What are you doing, brother?
Give birth to my child. - What?
The child ... My child lead the Tsuchigumo ...
Azusa!
The Yagyu ... Retsudo he mustn't.
Just because we're Tsuchigumo,
we needn't hide in the mountains.
Azusa, please ...
give birth.
The child of the leader of the Tsuchigumo.
Brother ...
l will show Retsudo,
that even I have my pride.
Receive my semen...
Azusa ...
Hyoei!
Have you lost your senses?
Judge us,
those who walk the way of creatures ...
Father ...
You fool,
Hyoei ...
You could have killed ltto Ogami.
But no ...
Fool!
Accepts a regular fight and loses!
Tsuchigumo, get ready!
From now on I will lead you.
We refuse.
What?
We follow the desire of our leader
we will kill Itto Ogami.
O.K.
He lead us here, where our
technique won't have any use.
Oh no ...
We'll freeze to death.
Now ...
You are scary, ltto Ogami.
The Tsuchigumo-technique failed.
If I could change...
to something ...
... different at least in the moment ...
... of death ...
soo cold ...
Miserable
The Tsuchigumo technique
l waited for you Retsudo!
ltto Ogami,
We Yagyu have lost our six children in the fight against you,
and only I remain.
And you will pay.
You still have
your one and only son.
Die!
We have assembled our powers
to fight the final fight.
This is my desire as well.
Attack!
Daigoro!
Master Retsudo!
Go!
Get yourself ready!
Fool!
Now!
Lord Retsudo, it's enough for today!
Damned ...
How strong he may be,
one day I'll kill him!
Father.
Daigoro.
