Look, she' s fixing her kimono !
You' lI never keep that pace.
It' s hard work.
Yep. We work four days straight.
Is life hard here?
Yeah, but it s better than Iife in the towns.
We eat our fill, and the men know their pIace.
I see. . .

Work here !
Thank you, but there is someone I must meet.
She' s here !
The woIf princess !
It' s her !

Stay at your posts !
She' s up on the roof !
Don' t get excited ! keep working !
The fire mustn' t go out !
- Is she alone? - Yes. We have her cornered.
It' s MiIady she came for.
Oh well. . . come on.
Can you hear me, Princess Mononoke? l' m here.
If you wouId avenge your tribe. . .
. . . here are some who seek vengeance for husbands. . .
. . . kiIIed by woIves.
Come out ! We have a score to settIe !
There she is !
Out of the way ! You' Il get hit !
lt' s a trap ! Stop !
Wolf-God Princess ! Go back to the woods !
Don' t die for nothing !
I knew it !
Let him do as he likes.
Got her ! She' s falling !
Stay back !
Even cut off, the head can stilI bite.

Stay back !
Wake up !

Get her !
Oon' t Iet her go !

Out of my way !
ViIIain ! You' re one of them, too !
HaIt !
Step aside.
What are you doing?!
The girl is mine.
I' m sure she' lI make a loveIy wife.
There is a demon inside you. and in her.
Look on this ! It is the form of the hate within me !
It rots my flesh, and summons my death !
Do not make the hate grow !
Enough talk of your curse !
I' ll cut that arm off !
MiIady !
Someone take her !
Don' t worry. She' lI be aII right.
I wiII take the girI !
Wait ! You don' t treat Lady Eboshi Iike that !
Don' t move !

He stiIl walks. . .
- How' s Milady? - Safe, sir.
BBring me my gun ! RifIemen, assembIe here !
They won' t get away !
Toki, quick !
You' re. . .
You can' t pass, sir.
The gate can t be opened without leave.
Turn back, please. . .
You helped one of us. We don t want to harm you.
l came on my own two feet. I will Ieave on them.
It takes ten men to open that gate !
Sir, no ! You' Il die !
He moved it !
Move aside !
Wolves !
Flint !
Stop ! Your princess is safe !
l' m coming !
Yakul, let' s go !
I thank you.
He' s gone. . .
Wait !
He' s mine !
Did they shoot you? Are you dead?
Why did you stop me? Speak whiIe you stilI Iive !
I didn' t want you to die.
l' m not afraid to die if it will drive the humans away !
I knew that when l first saw you.
You' ve wasted your life by getting in my way !
l' ll cut your throat ! That' Il shut you up !
I don' t Iisten to humans !
You' re beautifuI. . .
What' s wrong, San? ShalI I crunch him for you?
The apes. . .
Apes ! Do you mean disrespect to the tribe of Moro?
This is our forest.
Give us man.
Give us man and go.
Leave, before my fangs find you.
Go.
We eat man.
We eat him.
Let us eat man.
Why would the tribe of the apes. . .
. . . want to eat a man?
We eat man. We have his strength.
We want strength to drive humans away.
You won' t get that power by eating a man.
All that will do is turn you into something eIse !
We plant trees. Humans destroy them.
Forest does not come back. We kill humans.
The Deer God is with us. Don' t give up. Plant your trees.
We wiII fight for you to the Iast !
Oeer God wiII not fight. We die.
Wolf girl not care. Wolf girl human.
You monkey ! I' Il break your neck !
Stop it !
lt' s all right.
You go ahead. I' ll take care of the human.
What about him?
Can we eat him?
No. Go on.
Come here. Let' s be friends.
Help me carry your master.
You' re smart. You know not to set foot on this isIand.
Humans stink !
Go where you wiII. You' re free.
There he is !
The night-walker ! at last !
Quick ! Come and Iook !
There' s why we' ve been sitting in these stinking bearskins !
Don' t Iook ! You' lI go blind!
This from the West Land' s best hunter?
This is a charter from the Mikado. . .
. . . aIIowing us to subdue the Deer God !
at night he becomes the night-waIker.
as night becomes day he changes form.
He' s vanishing. . . over there !
Jiko !
I know.
Over there.
There' s hundreds of them.
They' re not from these woods.
They' re Iords of some other mountain.
It' s Okkoto !
From the South IsIand?
There' s no mistaking those tusks.
Looks like he brought his whoIe tribe !
He' s seen us ! FaIl back !
Come on ! Jump !
There s no wound !
Yakul. . .
lf you' re awake thank Yakul. He watched you the whole time.
How do you know his name?
He' s told me all about you, your viIIage, your forest. . .
The Deer God brought you back to life, so I' ll help you.
I had this dream. . . a goIden deer. . .
Eat.
Chew.
We' re here to kill the humans and save the forest.
Why are there humans here?
The girl is San, my daughter.
The humans are everywhere. Go back to your mountain and kill them there.
We kill for the forest of the Deer God.
Why is there a man here?
The Deer God healed his wound. We must give him back.
The Deer God saved him? The Deer God healed his wound?!
Why did he not save Nago?
Is he not guardian of the forest?!
The Deer God gives life, and takes it away.
Have you boars forgotten even that?
No ! You begged the Deer God for him.
You did not beg for Nago !
He feared death. . . I, like him. . .
. . . carry within me a poisoned human stone.
Nago fled. l remain, and contempIate my death.
Go to the Deer God !
I have Iived long enough, San.
The Deer God wiII take my Iife.
No, Mother ! You ve protected the Deer God !
We are not fooled ! Nago was beautiful and strong. Our brother would not run!
You woIves ate him!
SiIence ! You sIander my mother !
Hear me, O wiId mountain gods. . .
It was I who kilIed Nago.
He had become a demon, and attacked our village.
a huge boar. Here is my proof.
I came to this land to ask the Deer God to Iift this curse.
He healed my wound, but the scar remains.
l must suffer until the curse destroys me.
Okkoto ! Good ! Someone who can listen.
Okkoto, wait !
You mustn' t eat him !
You are Moro' s daughter. I have heard of you.
Your eyes. . .
Stand back. I will not eat him.
WoIf-God Princess. . .
Do not fear. I teII of Nago' s end.
My thanks to you, young one.
It grieves us that a demon has come from our tribe.
Lord Okkoto. . . do you know how I may lift the curse?
Leave this forest. When next we meet, I wilI have to kiIl you.
You cannot win against the guns of the humans.
Look on my tribe, Moro. We grow small, and we grow stupid.
To go on in this manner. . .
. . . is to end as game the humans hunt for meat.
To risk all on a final battle is to play into human hands.
I ask not for the heIp of wolves.
Should we die even to the very last, we wiII leave the humans in awe.
The Oeer God !
keep the oxen together !
Hold your fire. . . Iet them come !
Fire !
ReIoad ! Quick !
That damned Eboshi' s fighting the wrong enemy !
You go on ahead and hide.
Here they come !
Chief. . .
Well done.
We' re moving out. TelI the others.
HelIo, Jiko.
The Emperor presses, and you sport with country samurai. . .
Lord asano sets them against me.
asano? a powerfuI man. . .
He wants my iron.
Greedy, isn' t he.
But now is no time to fight men.
The boars are gathering in the forest.
Give him the iron.
Keep your promise to the Emperor, then smash asano.
Quick, Milady ! asano' s men are coming !
Speak of the deviI ! A messenger.
A messenger. Remember your manners.
Welcome home !
Aren' t you going to see him?
Eboshi, Mistress of the Ironworks, you have fought well !
l bring a message from my lord. Open your gates !
We hear you fine from there !
Milady took this mountain from the boars !
Now it' s worth something and you want it !
On your way !
You have no respect, woman!
No respect?
We haven' t had respect since we were born!
You want iron? Have some !
They' re really something !
Samurai or forest god, they don' t care.
Eboshi' s women don' t lack courage.
What good is this paper?
Well, it' s helped in getting the best hunters and trackers.
We' re after gods, not just beasts.
Yes, Milady?
Do you know who this paper is from?
The Mikado.
Who' s he?
The Emperor.
They' re really something !
Off you go.
As we make iron here, the forest grows weak.
That way costs fewer Iives.
We' ve spent too much time and money.
We didn' t send 40 riflemen just for the iron.
So the Emperor says, at least.
Surely he doesn' t believe that the Deer God' s head confers immortaIity?
l' m not privy to the thoughts of the Emperor.
Best not to be.
You have my word.
The boars will be easier than Moro and her tribe.
Call out that shady bunch you' ve got hidden under the cIiff.
So I' m found out, am l?
One more thing. . .
Oid a young man pass by here?
Riding a red elk?
He left.
They make my skin crawI !
They' re not ordinary hunters. They re speciaI scouts.
Let us go with you !
Don' t trust those men !
We can' t help you from here if anything happens !
We' ve learned how to shoot. . .
That' s the reason I want you here.
I fear humans more than forest gods.
With the Deer God dead, things will become clear.
ls the Deer God' s head all the Emperor reaIly wants?
We may have to fight the riflemen, too.
We can' t trust men. Stay on your toes.
Don' t worry about Lady Eboshi. l' lI protect her.
You wiII, wiIl you?
What?!
Maybe if you were a woman. . .
Does it hurt?
You could end it all by jumping, you know.
When your strength returns, the scar wiII grow restIess.
l feel Iike I' ve sIept for days.
I dreamed San was tending to me.
I hoped you would cry out in your sIeep, so I couId bite off your head.
a beautiful woods. . .
Are the boars moving yet?
Go back into the cave, boy. You can' t hear it. . .
The cry of the woods trampIed under by boars. . .
I sit here listening to it and to the crumbIing of my body. . .
. . . and wait for that woman. . .
. . . dreaming of the moment I crush her head in my jaws.
Can' t humans and the forest live together in peace?
Can' t this be stopped?
The humans are gathering.
Their fire wilI reach even here.
And San? Do you intend to take her with you?
How like a human to think onIy of himself !
She is a daughter of our tribe. When the woods die, so will she.
Set her free ! She' s human !
SiIence, boy !
What can you do for her?
The humans who violated the forest threw her in my path as they ran from me.
Now she cannot be human, and she cannot be wolf.
My poor, ugly, lovely daughter. . .
Can you save her?!
l don' t know, but together we can live.
How? Will you join with San and fight the human race?
No. all that does is cause more hatred.
There is nothing you can do, boy.
Soon the scar will kiIl you.
Leave here when the sun rises.
Can you walk?
Thanks to you and the Deer God.
Yakul! Were you worried?
My legs are so weak !
It' s so quiet. . . where are the kodama?
I can smell the ironworks. . .
Thank you for guiding me. l have a favor to ask you.
Give this to San.
Let' s go.
What a stench !
That' s not just smoke. It' s to blunt our sense of smell.
That woman!
She knows we' re here. . .
It' s a foolish trap.
They' re trying to lure the boars out of the woods.
They re pIanning something.
We' ve got to warn them !
They' II be killed !
Okkoto is no fooI.
The boars know it' s a trap, but still they II charge.
They are a proud race.
The last one alive wiII still be charging forward.
They' re cutting trees.
To anger them.
Mother, this is fareweII.
The smoke wilI bIind Okkoto.
I will be his eyes.
as you wiII.
Although there is a life for you with that boy. . .
I hate humans !
From ashitaka? For me?
lt' s pretty. . .
You two go with San.
I will stay with the Deer God.
Let' s go.
The tribe of Moro fights with you ! Where is Okkoto?
Thank you.
The ironworks !
Let' s go !
Who goes there?!
Samurai !
HaIt !
Let me pass !
Who was that?!
He' s stopping them !
Don' t waste your arrows !
