[groans]

5
00:00:29,291 --> 00:00:30,958
[Kanjiya] It's not enough.

6
00:00:35,125 --> 00:00:36,666
-It's not enough!
-[man yelps]

[groans]

8
00:00:43,125 --> 00:00:45,208
Kokushu the Manslayer.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,958
I haven't had enough fun yet.

10
00:00:48,875 --> 00:00:50,916
Let's fight to the death.

11
00:00:53,208 --> 00:00:54,916
The war is already over.

12
00:00:56,625 --> 00:00:58,125
[Kanjiya laughs]

13
00:00:58,208 --> 00:01:00,083
But we're samurai, aren't we?

14
00:01:00,875 --> 00:01:02,208
So we fight.

15
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:06,666
[laughs] It went by so fast.

16
00:01:07,375 --> 00:01:10,708
Those bastards
with their rifles and their cannons.

17
00:01:10,791 --> 00:01:11,625
[groans]

18
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:15,625
See?

19
00:01:16,625 --> 00:01:18,875
That is all it takes.

20
00:01:18,958 --> 00:01:21,500
[scoffs]
It doesn't even feel like killing.

21
00:01:21,583 --> 00:01:23,750
A neat and clean little weapon.

22
00:01:24,458 --> 00:01:25,791
[sword tearing flesh]

23
00:01:27,125 --> 00:01:29,500
The days of the sword
are coming to an end.

24
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:35,041
The world doesn't need swordsmen like us.

25
00:01:35,541 --> 00:01:38,458
But that won't change who we truly are.

26
00:01:38,541 --> 00:01:41,166
You and I will always be manslayers,
no matter what.

27
00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:45,083
You killed this one, didn't you?

28
00:01:46,125 --> 00:01:47,375
Not bad at all.

29
00:01:48,958 --> 00:01:51,000
Why don't you show me how you do it?

30
00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:56,625
[grunts, panting]

31

[breathing heavily]

36
00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:28,250
[chuckles]
Is that enough to get you to fight?

37
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:34,875
[grunting]

38
00:02:34,958 --> 00:02:37,291

[dramatic music fades]

42
00:02:54,458 --> 00:02:56,000
Go on, do it.

43
00:02:56,083 --> 00:02:57,416
Kill me.

44
00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:04,958
If you leave me here alive,

45
00:03:05,041 --> 00:03:07,958
I'll keep following you
to the ends of the earth.

46
00:03:12,041 --> 00:03:13,750
No. It's over.

47
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:15,583
[brooding music playing]

48
00:03:24,625 --> 00:03:27,000
[shouting] I will see you again!

53
00:03:52,083 --> 00:03:54,041
[guard] The age of the samurai is over.

54
00:03:54,125 --> 00:03:56,125
You'll be locked in here until you die.

[Kanjiya groans]

59
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:25,916
[whispers] I want to fight.

60

[footsteps approaching]

61
00:04:38,125 --> 00:04:39,625
Look how miserable you are,

62
00:04:40,458 --> 00:04:42,000
Kanjiya Bukotsu.

63
00:04:42,083 --> 00:04:43,458
[somber music fades]

64
00:04:43,541 --> 00:04:45,916
You were gone for ten years,

65
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,416
and then you decided to return
for the Satsuma Rebellion.

66
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,750
You even killed your own allies.

67
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,375
What has your life been like since then?

68
00:05:01,625 --> 00:05:05,041
You're asking me
what my life has been like?

69
00:05:05,125 --> 00:05:06,625
[somber music resumes]

70
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:09,333
I've been dead

71
00:05:10,791 --> 00:05:12,708
for a while now.

72
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:17,500
I bear good news.

73
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:20,500
You'll have one more chance
to walk the path of the samurai.

74
00:05:23,166 --> 00:05:24,000
Huh?

75
00:05:32,625 --> 00:05:34,166

TO TOSHIYOSHI KAWAJI

WE MUST DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF THE POLICE.
I AWAIT YOU IN TOKYO.

[brooding music playing]

91
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,416
[Kawaji] Lord Okubo!

92

[door opens]

93
00:07:12,333 --> 00:07:15,125
Lord Okubo, please listen to me.

94
00:07:15,208 --> 00:07:18,041
This rebellion is our chance
to finally destroy the samurai.

95
00:07:18,125 --> 00:07:21,250
We must exterminate them,
or else they will rebel once again.

96
00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:24,958
All I'm asking is for you
to grant us the right to carry guns.

97
00:07:26,416 --> 00:07:28,458
-I won't.
-Why not, sir?

98
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,750
What will you do if one of them tries
to sneak in and assassinate you?

99
00:07:31,833 --> 00:07:33,125
How will we protect you?

100
00:07:33,208 --> 00:07:35,041
Have them forfeit their swords.

101
00:07:36,333 --> 00:07:38,541
-That is all I can allow.
-[Kawaji] Okubo!

102
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:42,375
[sighs] We shouldn't use too heavy a hand.

103
00:07:42,458 --> 00:07:44,625
It will only lead to new uprisings.

104
00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:47,625
Remember Kyoto
during the shogunate's final days?

105
00:07:47,708 --> 00:07:50,416
Think of how many
of our comrades had fallen back then,

106
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,000
killed by the swords of samurai assassins.

107
00:07:53,875 --> 00:07:55,250
Should they plot to kill us,

108
00:07:55,333 --> 00:07:57,291
we have no way
of defending ourselves against them.

109
00:07:57,375 --> 00:07:59,375
Their speed and power are unstoppable!

110
00:07:59,458 --> 00:08:03,666
We need to be able to bear firearms
for the sake of the future of Japan.

111
00:08:04,291 --> 00:08:07,458
There is no point
in fighting brute force with brute force!

112
00:08:08,333 --> 00:08:10,333
The future of Japan, you say.

113
00:08:10,416 --> 00:08:13,875
Do you know what Japan must have
in order to grow stronger as a nation?

114
00:08:13,958 --> 00:08:17,041
-The people, Kawaji!
-And the people need to be protected!

115
00:08:17,125 --> 00:08:19,333
You'll never win the people with violence!

116
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:21,416
How can you not understand?

117
00:08:25,666 --> 00:08:26,666
Kawaji.

118
00:08:28,416 --> 00:08:30,541
The days of the samurai are done.

119
00:08:31,208 --> 00:08:32,291
However,

120
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:36,833
if we cannot be united and live in peace,

121
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:42,250
our nation will be destroyed.

122
00:08:48,375 --> 00:08:49,750
[inhales sharply]

123
00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:06,333
I will not give in.

124
00:09:07,291 --> 00:09:08,833
As long as I'm breathing.

125
00:09:18,208 --> 00:09:19,208

[footsteps approaching]

132
00:10:10,541 --> 00:10:11,916
[man] Lord Kawaji.

133
00:10:15,250 --> 00:10:16,250
Come in.

134
00:10:19,375 --> 00:10:20,958
Sorry to interrupt.

135
00:10:23,625 --> 00:10:26,208
Lord Okubo has sent you a telegram.

136
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,166
[Okubo] To Kawaji Toshiyoshi.

137
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:33,666
Need to discuss future of police.

138
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:35,583
Awaiting you in Tokyo.

139
00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:37,750
Come promptly.

140
00:10:41,583 --> 00:10:42,750

Futaba.

147
00:11:26,041 --> 00:11:26,958
Yes?

148
00:11:27,458 --> 00:11:28,458
You can go.

149
00:11:30,416 --> 00:11:31,416
Is that all right?

150
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:32,958
Sure.

151
00:11:36,291 --> 00:11:37,750
Thank you so much.

152
00:11:41,916 --> 00:11:42,958
Are you sure?

153
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,208
We have two days
before the appointment, and…

154
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:50,250
these could be our last days together.

155
00:12:10,041 --> 00:12:12,666
Strange to see you
with that look on your face.

156
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:15,333
What do you mean?

157
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:21,583
You look like a father
who's worried about his child.

158
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:33,166
Did having a family make you happy?

159
00:12:37,208 --> 00:12:38,208
Yes.

160
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:48,000
What's it like having a real family?

161
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:52,000
[somber music playing]

162
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,166
I was able to live life peacefully,
without killing anybody.

163
00:13:25,333 --> 00:13:28,500
So I would do
whatever it takes to save them.

164
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:39,583
[Iroha] As for me…

165
00:13:42,583 --> 00:13:44,708
I've only been thinking of one thing.

166
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:49,750
I should've just died
in the battle for succession.

167
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:51,708
It'd be better than this life.

168
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:54,166
Iroha.

169
00:13:54,791 --> 00:13:56,250
Don't say that. I didn't--

170
00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:57,416
Yes, I know.

171
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:02,375
I know that.

172
00:14:05,125 --> 00:14:06,041
[inhales]

173
00:14:07,458 --> 00:14:08,875

[Sansuke] What do you mean?
What kind of trouble?

177
00:14:22,916 --> 00:14:24,416
Keep talking.

178
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:26,541
Saga Shujiro and Kinugasa Iroha

179
00:14:27,125 --> 00:14:29,625
are going to die
unless you go and help them out.

180
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:33,083
Wait, it's not…

181
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:34,750
Gentosai, is it?

182
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:37,625
Oh! Well done. That's the right answer.

183
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:40,583
They're holding a festival

[Kyojin] Hmm…

189
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:54,541
I'm not even sure anymore, honestly.

190
00:14:56,333 --> 00:14:57,708
You should hurry.

191

[Shinnosuke] Kyojin.

192

[panting] Who are they?
What was all that? And who's Gentosai?

193
00:15:10,291 --> 00:15:11,166
Shinnosuke.

194
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,333
In this world, some things are better
left kept in the dark, okay?

195
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:16,291
But--

Oh man.

239
00:18:28,208 --> 00:18:30,958
There's no thrill like trying
to kill each other, huh?

240
00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:33,916
You must be a beast
to find pleasure in murder.

241
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,875
Yeah, but you're no different.

242
00:18:37,041 --> 00:18:39,250
And none of it matters.

What was that, darling?

250
00:18:58,458 --> 00:19:01,125
Why shed the blood
of those who have done nothing?

251
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:03,458
That's not the samurai way!

252
00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:04,916
Futaba! Stand down!

253
00:19:06,916 --> 00:19:08,625
Then what is the samurai way?

254

Don't do it, Bukotsu. Let go of her.

00:19:22,541 --> 00:19:24,208
What if I killed her?

258
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,833
I think that you'd fight me then, right?

259
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:30,000
Don't. Stop this.

260
00:19:30,083 --> 00:19:31,541

[Saga] You can't win
with your arm like that.

Just give up.

288

You're telling me to give up now?

289
00:21:44,708 --> 00:21:47,333
We ended up like this
all because we gave up, didn't we?

290
00:21:49,375 --> 00:21:51,916
How did you feel
when they took your sword away?

I'll tell you why.

295

Because in the end,

296
00:22:07,791 --> 00:22:09,791
you're only worth something
if you can kill.

Move as one.

227, Kamuykocha.

Good! Yes, yes, very good!

444
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:36,750
He didn't come all the way
from Ezo for nothing.

445
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:40,916
We've received another report
that Kanjiya Bukotsu was just killed.

446
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,750
-What? No!
-He was killed by 108, Saga Shujiro.

447
00:35:43,833 --> 00:35:46,833
-Oh!
-Well, such is the Manslayer we know.

448
00:35:46,916 --> 00:35:49,666
[man 1] We've lost the Savage Slasher.
What a shame!

[man 2 groans]

450
00:35:51,375 --> 00:35:54,583
Another ghost of the past has died,
nothing new.

451
00:35:56,666 --> 00:35:59,541
However, I'd say
that's still cause for celebration.

452
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,666
[chuckles] I agree.

453
00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:03,291
-Of course.
-[chuckles]

454
00:36:03,375 --> 00:36:06,333
Lord Kawaji, I think you should get going.

[ominous music playing]

456
00:36:11,625 --> 00:36:13,500
Certain duties require my attention.

457
00:36:13,583 --> 00:36:16,583
So for now, I'll have
to leave you all to it, I'm afraid.

458
00:36:16,666 --> 00:36:19,208
Naturally. You're a busy man, of course.

459
00:36:19,291 --> 00:36:20,333
Sir,

460
00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:22,291
so it's finally time.

461
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:28,458
I'm sure you'll be very entertained
as the Kodoku keeps unfolding.

[ominous music continues]

464
00:36:49,583 --> 00:36:52,041
I've sent a telegram
informing them where to meet.

465
00:36:52,583 --> 00:36:53,583
Glad to hear it.

466
00:36:53,666 --> 00:36:55,750
Keep those wealthy fools
busy with their pleasures.

467
00:36:55,833 --> 00:36:57,208

471
00:37:11,916 --> 00:37:13,208
Come in.

00:37:13,291 --> 00:37:14,583
[ominous music fades]

473
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:15,750
If I may.

474
00:37:18,333 --> 00:37:21,625
It seems Lord Kawaji is back.
He's just returned from his journey.

475
00:37:22,875 --> 00:37:25,458
I'll pay him a visit.
Get the carriage ready.

476
00:37:25,541 --> 00:37:26,625
Sir.

477
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:28,958
Shinpei hasn't been in touch yet, has he?

478
00:37:30,083 --> 00:37:30,958
No, sir.

479
00:37:31,041 --> 00:37:33,625
We've checked at his home as well,
but he doesn't appear to be back.

480
00:37:33,708 --> 00:37:35,791
Should we have the police look for him?

481
00:37:38,125 --> 00:37:42,750
No. We'll search for him ourselves.
Inform the Home Ministry staff.

482
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:43,666
[man] Yes, sir.

I know it's been awhile, Lord Okubo.

492

Hanjiro, you're alive.

493
00:38:58,583 --> 00:38:59,833
I thought you were dead.

494
00:39:00,666 --> 00:39:04,750
Unfortunately,
Lord Kawaji will not be heading this way.

495
00:39:08,583 --> 00:39:09,625
What are you saying?

496
00:39:09,708 --> 00:39:14,166
[Sakura] He sent me instead.
And he asked me to deliver a message.

497
00:39:14,916 --> 00:39:16,125

00:40:51,541 --> 00:40:53,375
Who would do something like that?

523
00:40:56,541 --> 00:40:58,416
This is no coincidence.

524
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:00,541
What?

525
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,833

Yes, why?

I have a message from Lord Maejima.

"Returning to Tokyo. Urgent matter.
Make for the capital at once."

00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:03,000
I saw us all living together as a family.

551
00:43:05,291 --> 00:43:08,458
Sansuke and I were arguing,
like we always did.

552
00:43:11,791 --> 00:43:13,541
Shikura was strong as always.

553
00:43:15,541 --> 00:43:17,875
We all used to smile a lot back then.

554
00:43:19,416 --> 00:43:21,625
[chuckles softly] Sure.

555
00:43:22,583 --> 00:43:23,958
We certainly did.

556
00:43:26,291 --> 00:43:28,875
Had we all fought each other
for the succession,

557
00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:33,041
I would not have survived.

558
00:43:39,458 --> 00:43:41,833
If Shujiro hadn't decided to run away…

559
00:43:42,958 --> 00:43:44,666
[brooding music playing]

560
00:43:47,083 --> 00:43:49,166
…I certainly wouldn't be alive right now.

561
00:43:56,125 --> 00:43:58,583
But unless we're able to defeat Gentosai,

562
00:44:01,250 --> 00:44:03,416
we will never manage to move forward.

563
00:44:16,541 --> 00:44:18,208
Once we're all together,

564
00:44:19,833 --> 00:44:21,583
we can finally take him down.

565
00:44:24,166 --> 00:44:25,375
You know it too.

566
00:44:27,958 --> 00:44:30,416
We cannot defeat him
unless we're together.

567
00:44:36,666 --> 00:44:38,166
[Sansuke] You're right.

568
00:44:39,458 --> 00:44:40,708
And we'll do it.

569
00:44:41,666 --> 00:44:42,750
[Shikura] Yes.

570
00:44:43,416 --> 00:44:46,041
So now, we gather our brothers.

571
00:44:48,583 --> 00:44:50,166
[indistinct chatter]

572
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:52,041
[brooding music continues]

573
00:44:58,166 --> 00:44:59,166
[sighs]

574
00:44:59,791 --> 00:45:01,583
[dramatic music playing]

575
00:45:02,250 --> 00:45:04,958
-[man 1] Oh!
-Attacked in Shimizudani. [laughs]

576
00:45:05,041 --> 00:45:06,416
I can't believe he actually did it!

577
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:08,916
Kawaji's a man of action, truly.
Wouldn't you agree?

578
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,666
Now we can focus on the Kodoku in peace!

579
00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:12,875
Indeed.

580
00:45:13,458 --> 00:45:16,708
There are plenty
of remarkable contestants left to watch.

581
00:45:16,791 --> 00:45:18,708
The weak ones are gone.

582
00:45:18,791 --> 00:45:21,416
From here, only the strong remain.

583
00:45:28,791 --> 00:45:32,125
-[men exclaiming, laughing]
-[man 2] Well, well.

584
00:45:32,208 --> 00:45:34,458
CHIRYU, OKAZAKI, HAMAMATSU, SHIMADA

585
00:45:37,125 --> 00:45:38,333
Now, gentlemen.

586
00:45:38,833 --> 00:45:41,666
We guarantee this Kodoku
will keep you entertained.

587
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,583
-Hear, hear.
-Hear, hear.

588
00:45:44,666 --> 00:45:46,916
-[man 1] Hey! Wait for me!
-[man 2] Go! Quick!

589
00:45:47,583 --> 00:45:48,875
[groaning]

590
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,708
-[man 1] Let's play some more.
-[groaning]

591
00:45:53,791 --> 00:45:54,791
[man 1 grunts]

592
00:45:57,166 --> 00:45:58,041
Well, lucky me.

593
00:45:59,041 --> 00:46:01,125
No one was around,
so I didn't get enough tags earlier.

594
00:46:02,958 --> 00:46:03,791
[groans]

595
00:46:03,875 --> 00:46:05,125
[man 1 grunts]

596
00:46:09,916 --> 00:46:12,500
Good. That's enough for now.

597
00:46:14,375 --> 00:46:17,000
Oh. Do you want to fight, sir?

598
00:46:18,125 --> 00:46:19,291
[exhales sharply]

599
00:46:19,375 --> 00:46:20,375
It's fun!

600
00:46:20,458 --> 00:46:22,041
Come on. Why not?

601
00:46:23,166 --> 00:46:25,041
[dramatic music continues]

602
00:46:34,416 --> 00:46:36,000
[Kamuykocha praying in Ainu]

603
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:42,375
[bell tinkling]

604
00:46:49,250 --> 00:46:51,625
Well, well, so you couldn't get it done.

605
00:46:51,708 --> 00:46:53,958
[chuckles]
Even with the tip I gave you, huh?

606
00:46:54,041 --> 00:46:55,041
[gasps]

607
00:47:08,750 --> 00:47:12,250
Fight to the death,
until the last one standing.

608
00:47:12,958 --> 00:47:14,208
[yelling]

609
00:47:17,458 --> 00:47:19,375
[dramatic music intensifies]

610
00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:40,666
LAST SAMURAI STANDING

611
00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:43,416
THE END OF THE FIRST CHAPTER

612
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:45,500
[brooding music playing]

613
00:49:27,916 --> 00:49:29,916
[dramatic music playing]

614
00:51:23,166 --> 00:51:24,541
[music fades]
