In Genroku period,
The number of residence in Jianghu had reached as much as 1 million.
Compared with 50 thousand in Paris
and 70 thousand in London, Jianghu was the biggest city in the world.
By that time,
The family, headed by General Tokugawa Tunayoshi
was the most mighty one.
There was 38 families revoked and
40 thousand people homeless
Genroku l5th on March l4th
one year after Takuminokami Asano died
Leave me alone
Takuminokami
Quiet, please keep quiet
Go to hell
What are they doing?
Look, that guy
He died after all. What a short-lived guy
The so-called trashiness guy, bring along your guys and
go to die.
What happened? has Takuminokami been killed?
Not exactly. he was hacked
The night Takuminokami hari-kari
Tens of mobs
allured by the big fortune
trespass on the house of Asano's.
You those mobs
kill you all!
Twenty days later
Those who protest vengeance
gathered in the city of Ako
Attention please
We are not here for hari-kari
but to recruit those in the same camp and revenge on our enemy
Right!
Those mobs tyrannize
in our palatinate of Edo
We should make an end to this as soon as possible
What I meant was is there some guy who can shoulder this important task
Can some one stand out and be our leader?
it is the right time to
transform this corrupted society with our own hands
You mean dynastic change?
Yes
it is farfetched.
Is that true?
Those so-called aristocrats
has no difference with the irresponsible beasts
We don't want our hands be contaminated and no blood either
prompting war
is an interesting game and is worthy of watching.
This is not a war
but revenge!
We can simply say it is revenge
But how many do you aimed at
Rather than that, I would see here
besides Yasunobyoue, how many of here has ever killed someone?
Can we fight like this?
It seems that KotsukenoSuke Kira, together with aristocrat, has get prepared
We don't even know how many has been sloughed up
They twiddle with the guys arrested
and kill one person at a time
Yes, his name is KotsukenoSuke Kira
We can do nothing but to submit to him
We can't undergo such humiliation anymore!
KotsukenoSuke Kira! ­Is that right?
Yes
Calm down
Shouldn't you calm down?
Then Ooishiuchi what do you plan to do?
No choice other than surrender
No, you can't do that
You can't understand with so many housewives bothering you
Leave or stay, it is up to you all
How many left?
Even the people in the bursary don't know
I want to ask you but one thing
What's your name?
Iuemon
To reveal my thinking
I am new here, since my brother died last month
Then, what do you want to know?
Don't you want to revenge, Ooishiuchi?
Yes, that’s right
Do you ever think of revenge?
No, at least now
What?
There are many things waiting for me to handle
My last request is can you bear comparison with them?
We need at least one year to get rid of them
It is no doubt that in this period, our cavalier
Should get united.
Today, every one presents here should have a think that
One year later, what you think
No, what can you think of now be congruent?
It is hard to decide finally.
Horrible, have you heard about
What?
about Ooishiuchi
After departure, he occupied Oshima's home
Really? Then what about that sword?
It is the only thing remains with him
Do you mean that they will soon take over here?
At least three persons. There are some girls come into that room gradually
No kidding, where is it, where did he hide
Many callets outside, and still many hetaera at home
He always flirts with those
who have big age gap with him
He is such bastard knowing no shame
Are you happy?
Big age gap
We can see unhappiness in her eye
that innocent guy
Then, we have to leave now
The bitterness in those hungry and unease people
Iuemon understand this when he was quiet young
Some day 15 years before
Dad
Dad, what happened?
Dad, the porridge is ready
Have you had your meal?
I will have a late meal
How long can we last depend on this
No money?
No
Never mind
And, I will play for dad tomorrow
You are not ready for playing for others
You should eat now
I didn't feel hungry when lying there
Iuemon
Come here
Pull out your knife
Pull it out
It will be hard to pull out
If you forget to clean it after using
Bear it in mind
Dad, Dad
Do you like goldfish?
If you like it, then give it back to you
No, I will get abused
Shop?
Yes, the shop
The fourth shop in Ono's, My name is Izumi
Then, what about this
It will not be discovered if you put it in the box
Turtle!
Izumi! No!
There is no Izumi in the fourth shop here
You must have made some mistakes
What's up?
It is dying, you should save it
You lied. I wouldn't allow it
What?
But there is no Izumi in the fourth shop in Ono.
It is incorrigible
If so, I will chop it head down
No!
Come in with me, ok?
Monsignor, Monsignor, I have something to say
Go to the shop-keep lady, she will accommodate you
There are many perils waiting for you
You are sure to be satisfied.
Come in, hurry up, here
This way please
Welcome
You have never been here before, have you?
Thank you for your presence
Doff
Do you like massage?
It's you
How is your turtle?
It died
Have you buried it seriously?
Of course
Then, you are my girl.
Don't say that, it is disgusting
Don't you here to serve me?
Yes.
Somebody here?
You cannot do this
You, get out
Can some body go and save her?
Listen to me, I have long searching for you
Then Dad, I will be back soon
Good morning!
where is Iuemon
He has been out
What's this?
It seems like herb
You are really smart! Izumi
what are you saying, Takuetu
The point is not what I said
Three days, without any interval
He got ferocious look just like he is a cock
We can easily get embroiled
I understand that
It make no difference if you don't know. It is enough
Hey, Izumi. Why do you like such a man?
I'm good at observing and I find he may be much better than I.
but, you are a good-looking guy
the one who can attract many girls.
It must be happy to be with you
Ah, is it? Then it is enough
Izumi
What are you doing?
I want just one time, just one time
leave me alone
Only once
Leave me alone! leave me alone
I know
Izumi
You do it to a fault!
So, be in peace please
Ok, what should I do?
By what time will you.....
Let him go
He will leave by soon
What do you mean by soon?
Let us talk about it later
Hurry, keep off, keep off
What a really pretty girl
It is such a pleasure to drink with pretty girls
Then come to my home
Absolutely impossible
The lady is attending ceremony
I will not forgive you in case of any accident
Keep off, keep off, don't have a finger in the pie
Ouch!
Who are you? come here.
Come here
Kill it
flee! flee!
The dog was killed by Asano.
To big extent it has been proved
the relation of the died didn't give Asano's family any compensation
But monsignor, the reward for the tidy and neaten of the gundog's body of Iori
for hamauls and me
should be afforded by the relations of the died
The total sum is twenty gold coins
That's enough, that hunt dog crazily ran into the house of Asano's house
causing some serious damage. They are responsible for this all
It is the monsignor who should shoulder this heavy task
Why will the victims like us take the responsibility of this?
I want to see your cock.
It just make no difference. Ok, this is the end.
Twenty gold coins is
is an unusual large amount for a loner
with the little income we earn every day.
Then it is your fate to do drudgery your entire life.
Drudgery!
After all, you have twenty days to collect the money.
Only then can we discuss any more.
You must give it out by that day
Did you hear me?
What kind of hunt dog, can we obey this kind of person anymore?
Collect twenty Liang gold coins in twenty days
No one here have such big amount of money
Maybe pay a visit to Ooishiuchi is a better choice
They just want us to crouch the head day after night and let others laugh at us
Their cruelty surprised me. Maybe Ooishiuchi will give us a hand
I would rather not go
Why?
That's because we only live on his money
And if so, Iuemon and I will both get involved.
Is that the guy who wants to revenge?
First think of those related people
What a fool!
What an interesting place!
You fell into the pond and nearly died
as well as drink so much water
Hurry, hurry. Bring the dishes here to Mr. Da Shinei
Ah, no, we don't need that.
Cheers!
Ooishiuchi, our fate is in the Jianghu period
I know, I know
No, you don't understand.
Please listen to us seriously
So noisy, I will probably catch cold.
It seems that you drank much water
and you sneezes so often.
Ooishiuchi, Ooishiuchi
Ooishiuchi, this is one important thing. You must listen carefully.
What's up?
Ukihasi died
What?!
When?
Before he died
he used the knife on him
to killed the girl named little O
Sorry, Ooishiuchi
It's high time I went.
The reason for my death is
in the last year there is nothing but hatred in my heart.
But, I, Ukihasi, am really distressed.
In this money-depending era
I gone with the gril I know well and her 17 years old adolescence
Say bye
When mum is attacked again,
take off my sweater
I left to you.
It is my hope that you put it on instead of me
Ukihasi, Ukihasi
Dad
Ukihasi paid a visit to you yesterday,
didn't he?
Yes.
What for?
to borrow money.
Then, what do you say to him?
I asked him the money he borrowed was for living or lechery.
He said it was for living.
So, I said I would lend you money for the later purpose.
I won't lend you money for living.
Why?
If it was for lechery,
both the debtor and the creditor
will forget soon. But,
if it was for living
the case is different, it will bundle him all life.
That will be painful
and finally will result in treachery
I wouldn't see the Ukihasi like that
So I told him that I can't lend him the money.
Then...
Then, Ukihasi
He said he understood
And, in fact,
he confess that it was not for living,
but for those girls he was infatuated with.
He regret that he lied to me, but
he laughed and said "it is my fault" as he went away
That's the face I will never forget
Dad, it is you who killed Ukihasi
If you had lend money to him at that time,
Ukihasi would be still alive.
What I said is true, isn't it? Dad!
Did you forget something?
No.
I have nothing to say
Dad, dad
You will lend money for entertainment,
but not for living. Is it?
This is the words of those who didn't live in difficulty
I have one request
one request
...
What ?
Excuse me, is that Mr. Iuemon?
What?
No, ah! yes.
This guest want to meet you.
Are you Iuemon?
You drove those guys away in protection of girls in the day
You saved my little daughter, thank you so much!
This is my honoraria. Please accept it.
And for that unexpected misery,
please accept those money for bury
Then you are?
Ah, sorry for late introduction
I am the successor for Kanhei Jokokawa.
We are responsible for the strange vagrant on the street.
My name is Kinobyoue Ioto
I am here to see if it is true
Hey guys, Can I help you?
Thanks but
I can not accept it
Please take it back
Why?
My father and I with you are like oil with water.
So, I can not accept your money.
What happed to those guys?
It is far beyond my expectation.
Please, take it back
You won't accept, will you?
Then, it is unnecessary to talk with you.
My little daughter and I seldom
contact with you.
It is regretful.
Please take all this away.
Hurry, hurry, and take it away
What are you doing?
There is still one gold coin.
What?
Sorry.
It is up to you.
Sorry for keep you worrying me.
In any case, I can collect the money
by doing drudgery.
But, Ooishiuchi, can you raise so much money in so short time?
Yes, at any expense
I will handle the problem at that time
But, how?
You can trust me
We are both vagrant!
Horrible, there is blood on your clothes.
But, we finally collect twenty gold coins.
Iuemon, you don't feel heart burned?
every one is sure to have such feeling, after killing some one.
Isn't it true?
We should get it as soon as possible.
If not, it will¡­
Good noon!
You are all wet.
Hey, it has been repaired. Nice!
What's in that bag?
I am on the way to be a mother
My baby will be born in next summer.
If I keep on working, it would do harm to my baby
and he also want to be born at home.
You also want to see him, don't you, dad?
So I...
Move back
Please wait
Who is the father?
It is you, of course.
Don't cheat on me.
You have many guests other than me
I didn't remember that.
But, you are the father
Do you have any evidence?
It is your baby, actually.
As the mother, I know it.
Get out of the way.
Do you know what revenge is?
Revenge?
Do you know Takuminokami Asano?
No.
then what about KotsukenoSuke Kira?
No.
Tomorrow is the time I will revenge on them.
Asano's hari-kari was all because of KotsukenoSuke's compel.
So we should twist off his neck
now!
Why?
That is the spirit of cavaliers.
It is better to be innocent
So what will happen to that
spiritual leader?
If he understands this, he won't sit idle and only eat
Then?
His head will be twist off, or
he will be executed to decapitation.
Why?
That's because the father of Kira's father is a wealthy landlord.
It is the right time to kill Kira.
As they were both out
it will be good for us all to do it as quick as possible.
No, no, I don't want that
Then I can do nothing if you are not willing to do this.
That’s the fate for you and me
Please wait.
I feel disgusted to see you
There are some messages come from Kouen.
there are about 3 or 5 hundred people gathered in that temple.
Thus, we can establish our own force.
What about then?
We are here to think of a name
for the sake of raising some tools and money.
Those who want to revenge please gather at Maruyama's.
Horrible will keep all the repairing fees.
It is our revenge day today!
I will meet with them later.
We'd better set out quickly.
We will meet later, Iuemon
What do you plan to do today?
Ah?
We should go
You mean?
Can, can I go?
You want to flee?
Then, what should I do, from now on?
Flee?
Why?
You want to revenge so much, don't you?
Don't say that again.
I am the person bound to die
If I cast poison to Jokokawa, then he is sure to die.
That's too bad
Do you dissatisfy with something? Iuemon
I understand.
That's the thing you decide, I won't even say a word.
Nothing to say.
It is me to save you
It is our fate when we can't move.
It is by our hands to create such well-off live for them.
Such person like me.
Don't you understand?
Smile, please smile.
It is the era that transformed us.
Yes, it is the era that transformed us
That's right.
In this year
there is nothing inconceivable other than this.
Oshima had said it that
we should be able to understand our feeling one year later.
Stay there!
I knew that one day he would betray on me.
He is incorrigible, I can do nothing.
But why he feel angry about me?
That's because in the last year, he witness
the expansion of my hatred.
Get out of the way!
Does such revenge worth of my life?
Iuemon
Is it laughable?
Is it ridiculous?
You, laugh
Laugh!
Do you laugh? you bitch!
No, I do not want to see you to die.
Please, please, stay with me
I will serve me whole heartedly
and would prevent you from any danger.
I come with money.
Thought it is not a big sum, but it is for you all.
So, so
do not revenge anymore!
Ok, I understand, I won't do it anymore
and I will stay here.
No revenge anymore.
And so please stay with me.
Iuemon, Iuemon...
Today is en end to your drudgery, and
those friends on the same camp should get united.
There is no room for discussion, if there is some one imitating working in the storeroom.
But there is only one left
and we should kill Kanhei Jokokawa.
This is a thing affording general satisfaction¡£
Those endless greetings should be reserved.
The first thing we should do is to blame one person.
What do you think about? Every body has opinions?
Done now.
What?
The clothes for the baby.
is it cute?
Where are you going?
Highness, Iuemon.
Your highness, Iuemon.
I doubt that there are some trap waiting for you or not.
So, please don't go back tonight.
Please come to our house in any case
by Lunar May the 8th.
It is a dark and cold night.
In the name of justice, convoluting around the mansion.
Among them there are two young men.
Knowing the task is dangerous, they still come at last.
This is our justice!
And we are here to kill them.
Leaning against the shoulders of our fathers,
We should drive the entire enemy away.
That's good, this, this ...
Sorry for keeping you waiting
Then, I can express slowly about the disrespect last time.
Ah, please sit here
Hey, look this is little gold coin
This is really good luck
What are you soliloquizing?
Let me tell you, from your husband
I took some little thing.
My husband?
Yes.
We meet unexpectedly on the street just now
This is catholicon which can guarantee the safety of foetus.
He said that he had something to see to and can not come back right now
So he asked me to bring this back for him.
You can have a look now.
Really?
Great, I am so happy!
Wine can help people out of pains,
as well as it is also a luxury for soldier.
The two brother of us, as the leader of our cavalier,
are here to outguess the nature of war
and get rid of our fear.
We should maintain a peaceful mind
and bring all these to the world of happiness.
Let them know our strength.
