00:00:01,583 --> 00:00:06,{\an8}GENJI YEAR 1 (1864)

00:00:01,751 --> 00:00:04,The shogunate is just a
rotting carcass at this point.

00:00:04,375 --> 00:00:07,Now is the time for us samurai to rise up!

00:00:07,541 --> 00:00:10,Keep it down. Someone might hear you!

00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:12,Who goes there?!

00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:19,Hey! What do you think you're doing?!

00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:39,I brandished my blade

00:00:35,167 --> 00:00:39,and yet you chose to flap your gums.

00:00:39,083 --> 00:00:40,You're tainted.

00:00:46,916 --> 00:00:47,D***n yo-!

00:00:56,916 --> 00:01:00,Tainted to the bone.

00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:47,What is it, Nomari?

00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:50,I thought you were joking

00:02:50,333 --> 00:02:54,when you came in here with Nomari-chan

00:02:50,334 --> 00:02:54,and said she was your daughter,

00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:56,but you're like a seasoned dad now.

00:02:56,833 --> 00:02:59,Hey, pal. Can I talk with ya for a minute?

00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:02,Sorry for borrowing the bedroom.

00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:05,Oh, no! That's not a problem at all.

00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:09,How can I put this?

00:03:09,833 --> 00:03:12,There's a visitor here to see you...

00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:16,Okay. I'm coming.

00:03:24,208 --> 00:03:26,Ah, Jinya-dono!

00:03:26,291 --> 00:03:29,My apologies for the abrupt visit.

00:03:29,541 --> 00:03:31,Hatakeyama-dono.

00:03:31,958 --> 00:03:36,It's been some time.

00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:36,I'm glad to see you're in good health.

00:03:37,083 --> 00:03:40,Oh my. Is that baby yours, Jinya-dono?

00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:42,Why are you here?

00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:44,Men of your standing don't visit

00:03:42,167 --> 00:03:44,podunk soba shops like this.

00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:48,There's only one reason

00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:48,to call upon the famous demon hunter.

00:03:48,916 --> 00:03:51,Isn't it obvious?

00:03:51,041 --> 00:03:54,There is a demon I need you to slay.

00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:00,The demon's name is Kiichi Okada.

00:04:00,791 --> 00:04:05,Until recently, he has served in my employ

00:04:00,792 --> 00:04:05,to help rid our country of the barbarians.

00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:09,He's the most skilled warrior

00:04:05,376 --> 00:04:09,among my ranks by far.

00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:12,But we've had a bit of a problem, you see.

00:04:12,875 --> 00:04:14,And what's that?

00:04:14,208 --> 00:04:15,Regretfully,

00:04:15,291 --> 00:04:19,Kiichi developed a bad habit of attacking

00:04:15,292 --> 00:04:19,people aside from our adversaries.

00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:22,He's killed several of our

00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:22,samurai comrades in arms

00:04:22,375 --> 00:04:24,and even women and children.

00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:27,He's nothing more than a murderer now.

00:04:27,958 --> 00:04:30,It's gotten to the point

00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,I cannot ignore it.

00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:33,But I doubt he can be reasoned with,

00:04:33,833 --> 00:04:37,nor do I have any warriors skilled

00:04:33,834 --> 00:04:37,enough to take him down.

00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:40,That's where you came to mind.

00:04:40,416 --> 00:04:43,I'm not here to ask you

00:04:40,417 --> 00:04:43,to wield your blade on my behalf.

00:04:43,958 --> 00:04:47,I merely wish for you to stop him

00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,and prevent any more casualties.

00:04:47,750 --> 00:04:52,Would you be willing to help me out,

00:04:47,751 --> 00:04:52,just this one time?

00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:56,I don't understand.

00:04:56,083 --> 00:04:58,Kiichi's objective, you mean?

00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:00,Your objective, actually.

00:05:00,916 --> 00:05:02,You have that Tsuchiura fellow.

00:05:02,916 --> 00:05:05,Why not just order a demon already

00:05:02,917 --> 00:05:05,under your command to take care of him?

00:05:06,125 --> 00:05:09,Because he and Kiichi are comrades.

00:05:09,083 --> 00:05:12,I cannot ask him to put an end

00:05:09,084 --> 00:05:12,to one of his own.

00:05:13,458 --> 00:05:14,What do you say?

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,Will you take on this task for me?

00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,I want to be clear on one thing.

00:05:22,791 --> 00:05:25,You're sure this murderer is a demon?

00:05:25,875 --> 00:05:26,Yes.

00:05:26,791 --> 00:05:29,He is a lesser demon

00:05:26,792 --> 00:05:29,without any special power.

00:05:29,583 --> 00:05:31,However, his skill

00:05:29,584 --> 00:05:31,with a blade is so great

00:05:31,750 --> 00:05:34,that he can rival even

00:05:31,751 --> 00:05:34,superior demons in battle.

00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:37,Dealing with him will prove tricky.

00:05:39,083 --> 00:05:41,You can't decide right away, I suppose.

00:05:41,958 --> 00:05:44,Then, how about this?

00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:48,I shall make it so Kiichi visits

00:05:44,334 --> 00:05:48,the Edobashi bridge tomorrow night.

00:05:48,291 --> 00:05:51,If you decide to accept the job,

00:05:48,292 --> 00:05:51,then simply go there.

00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:55,Otherwise, you're free to refuse

00:05:51,626 --> 00:05:55,and ignore the situation entirely.

00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:01,Well, I'll be going now.

00:06:02,416 --> 00:06:04,Yasuhide Hatakeyama.

00:06:05,375 --> 00:06:07,What is going through your mind?

00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,That's simple. The fate of this country.

00:06:10,416 --> 00:06:13,And all the samurai who live in it.

00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:22,Look, Tsuchiura.

00:06:22,083 --> 00:06:24,Isn't this katana just superb?

00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:26,Yes, I suppose...

00:06:28,666 --> 00:06:30,Kadono, was it?

00:06:30,958 --> 00:06:36,It lives up to its reputation as the home

00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:36,of Japan's most distinguished blacksmiths.

00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:38,Their blades are truly something else.

00:06:42,583 --> 00:06:45,You have an eye for quality,

00:06:42,584 --> 00:06:45,Hatakeyama-dono.

00:06:45,875 --> 00:06:48,Swords from Kadono are pure and untainted.

00:06:48,833 --> 00:06:52,"Masterpiece" is truly

00:06:48,834 --> 00:06:52,the only word to describe them.

00:06:52,958 --> 00:06:55,Kiichi. So, you've returned.

00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:58,I did as you ordered.

00:06:58,416 --> 00:07:01,Those "skilled" samurai

00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:00,plotting against the shogunate?

00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,They were hardly worth

00:07:01,001 --> 00:07:03,the effort of killing.

00:07:04,291 --> 00:07:07,Yet I get the impression

00:07:04,292 --> 00:07:07,you greatly enjoyed yourself.

00:07:09,791 --> 00:07:12,I'm a killer to the core.

00:07:12,125 --> 00:07:15,It only makes sense for me

00:07:12,126 --> 00:07:15,to indulge in all forms of slaughter.

00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:17,Did you kill more people

00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:17,other than your targets?

00:07:17,875 --> 00:07:19,You scumbag!

00:07:19,083 --> 00:07:22,Why, Tsuchiura?

00:07:19,084 --> 00:07:22,You g***t a problem with me?

00:07:22,625 --> 00:07:24,Of course!

00:07:24,083 --> 00:07:28,Your indulgence in such senseless violence

00:07:24,084 --> 00:07:28,will only bring trouble for Lord Yasuhide!

00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,You're as tainted as ever, I see.

00:07:32,125 --> 00:07:33,I'm sure Hatakeyama-dono

00:07:33,458 --> 00:07:37,is more than happy to accept

00:07:33,459 --> 00:07:36,whatever trouble that comes his way.

00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,Now then, Kiichi.

00:07:39,291 --> 00:07:41,I have a task for you.

00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:44,There is man who I'd like you to slay.

00:07:44,458 --> 00:07:45,All right.

00:07:45,916 --> 00:07:49,Who is it this time,

00:07:45,917 --> 00:07:49,some ronin from Choshu?

00:07:49,458 --> 00:07:50,No.

00:07:50,416 --> 00:07:52,Someone who you will find

00:07:50,417 --> 00:07:52,a worthy opponent.

00:07:54,166 --> 00:07:56,Perhaps you've heard of him?

00:07:56,041 --> 00:07:59,The fierce warrior in Edo

00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:59,known as the demon hunter.

00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:02,Oh?

00:08:17,791 --> 00:08:19,Thanks as always.

00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,Think nothing of it.

00:08:22,416 --> 00:08:27,We both know you can't go around hunting

00:08:22,417 --> 00:08:27,demons with Nomari-chan on your back.

00:08:32,416 --> 00:08:33,Chef?

00:08:34,416 --> 00:08:35,Dad?

00:08:37,875 --> 00:08:39,Hey, Dad!

00:08:39,125 --> 00:08:41,O-oh, sorry about...
