Oh, look at this poor thing.
She was born in Hokkaido...
at the upper stream of the Ishikari River.
Goddess of Mercy.
I'm really hungry.
Even a monk would complain.
I'm starving.
Listen, little fish.
Show some sympathy and let me eat you.
Let's hear Miss Hana sing a song.
Rlease welcome Hana.
This one must be huge.
Good heavens.
What am I supposed to do?
Goddess of Mercy.
Wait.
Did she drink too much water?
Or is she pregnant?
Can't tell which.
What dark eyes this dead woman has.
You've got so much darkness in you.
Goddess of Mercy.
Hail Bodhisattva the Perceiver.
It's moving.
There's something in her belly and it's alive.
Goddess of Mercy.
Don't you cross the border of the two worlds.
Do yourself a favour and don't come out.
What should I do, Goddess of Mercy?
It looks like it's coming out.
Are you telling me to...
act as a midwife?
Well, then.
Oh, it's cold.
The baby must be cold inside.
Goddess of Mercy.
Hail Bodhisattva the Perceiver.
The Amida Temple just rang the bell.
I put my faith in Amitabha Buddha
Become a monk and soothe your mother's anger.
23 YEARS LATER
- Yakuza Kannon: Iro Jingi - YAKUZA GODDESS: LUST AND HONOR
Seigen, let's go score some women.
No, thank you.
I have work to do.
Cleaning the toilet?
Exactly.
You work so hard.
You make Master Ajari so happy.
You're the brightest of us all.
I love Guan Yin.
I'd rather be with Guan Yin than with some woman.
I see.
How tight is Guan Yin?
It is my love, and it is my belief.
Tell me.
Do you even know what you believe?
You were born from a dead woman, Seigen.
Your mother is calling you from the other world.
You were born in the river.
We all wonder how long you can deceive us.
Seigen.
Master Ajari.
Calm down, Seigen.
You idealize your beliefs too much.
Just as you adore a beautiful woman.
Is that a problem?
Seigen.
I'm releasing the Buddha from my body now.
The shit. The Buddha is shit.
Is that so?
You will not find your saviour in beauty.
Do you understand that?
I'm afraid not.
Your Buddha is so beautiful that it is lethal.
The guys from the Fujiwaras are tailing us.
It's been quite some time now.
They think they're harassing us.
I'll let them pass us.
The Amida Temple towers over S City...
where rivalry between the Saidas and Fujiwaras...
has become intense.
I've got a bad feeling. I think we should head back.
This is the third anniversary of my mother's death.
I know that.
You can just wait for me right here, if you want.
No. I'll go with you.
That thing was the source of the smell.
He's a rather good-looking priest.
Are you Seigen who just came back from the head temple?
Yes, ma'am.
All the parishioners know about you.
The brightest and the most hopeful.
The rumour says you'll succeed Head Priest Ajari.
Your sweat is getting into your eyes.
So stinky.
Miss, they may come back again. Let's just go back.
We don't mean to scare you, miss.
Don't worry. He won't die.
Please, miss, come with us.
Miss.
Our boss wants to talk to you.
Our boss has asked...
for permission to marry you.
You also agreed.
But then the engagement was broken off without a reason.
I broke it off because my father told me to.
Well, we can'tgo back empty-handed.
Just come with us.
Don't make it more difficult than it has to be.
Bonze, watch out. You don't want to spill it.
It stinks so bad. I can't stand it.
Just keep going, all right?
Don't shoot him. We'll be covered with faeces.
I'lljust scare him.
Crap!
Shit is the Buddha. The Buddha is shit.
Shit.
The Buddha is shit.
That stinks.
Shit.
There they are. - Don't move!
Stay there!
Bastard. - Where did they go?
Man, we stink.
Where did they go?
They must have gone to the temple.
It smells really bad.
I can't stand it.
They're heading to the temple.
You should go back now.
There's a caterpillar on your shoulder.
A priest who kills bugs, huh?
It's probably because...
ljust had a run-in with the yakuza.
I like butterflies.
Especially black swallowtails.
Caterpillars grow up to become those, you know?
You want to see me fly?
Thank you for saving me.
You've got lipstick on your clothes.
It won't come off.
One can deceive others, but not the Buddha.
Isn't that so?
You shouldn't have done that.
Oh. You're mad at me.
You called them yakuza.
I'm the daughter of a yakuza.
Would you kill me because I'm one of them?

That was so good. I felt it to the bone.
Don't we make a good couple?
By any chance...
do you know Saida Seimei of the Saidas?
I do. He's my father.
What's wrong?
It's over.
What do you mean?
The Buddha has just died inside me.
We can't get this stench off of us.
You may throw shit at me, if you'd like.
Oh, we can throw shit at him.
Where did you hide Misako?
She's gone down the mountain.
You realize you caused us trouble, right?
We should teach you a lesson.
Shall we cut off his arm?
We'll show you how angry you made us.
Startchanting.
Stupid bonze.
Let's hear you chant.
I put my faith in Amitabha Buddha
Master.
Seigen. Is thatwho you really are?
Master.
Is Saida Seimei my father?
What if he is?
You were born outof a dead woman.
I was asked to keep you within the priesthood.
The Buddha is my parent, right?
You've told me so.
I really wanted you to succeed me.
Farewell...
Master.
I may have killed, but still...
I'm a son of the Buddha.
Did Seigen leave the temple?
Yes.
Did he kill others?
Yes.
No way out but death.
You brought me a sudden death.
Your game is still savage, I see.
I still have a lot to learn.
Seigen must be on his way to the Saidas.
An avoidable fate, I guess.
Are you going there, too?
He was never supposed to be born.
I brought him into this world.
What are you going to do with him?
Who knows? Maybe I should send him back.
SAIDA
Who is it?
My name is Seigen of the Amida Temple.
I'm here to see Miss Saida.
Are you a priest? - Yes, I am.
What would a priest want from her?
I'll tell her when I see her.
Wait right there.
She says she doesn't know you.
That can't be.
My name is Seigen.
Tell her Seigen is here.
She doesn't know any priest named Seigen.
You're lying.
Just let me see Misako, please.
Please open the door.
Please.
Damn.
Misako. - Open the door.
Misako. Misako.
Give me more.
Son of a bitch.
Open the door.
He's still there, acting like a saint.
What happened between the two of you?
Damn it.
Did he fuck you like this?
That son of a bitch.
I only thanked him...
on behalf of our family.
What the hell!
Who does he think he is?
Get lost.
Open the door. Open it.
Just go back to the temple.
Bastard.
You're a dead man.
Knock it off.
Don't throw your life away.
You're that priest.
You know him? - Yes.
He's Seigen from the Amida Temple.
He's the one who saved Misako.
Seigen from the Amida Temple?
Go.
You know who I am.
No, I don't.
Well, I've known you all my life.
I don't know how that is.
Anyway, please excuse their behaviour.
I'm Misako's father.
I'm not with the Amida Temple anymore.
Just an ordinary, foolish man.
Seigen.
Boss.
He's a bit weird.
He was crazy to see Miss Misako.
To see her? - Yes.
But she insists she doesn't know him.
Seigen.
For your own sake...
return to the temple.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
Mister Saida.
Seigen has had a taste of earthly life...
starting with the tip of his penis.
Miss Misako made it happen.
I won't be a priest the next time I see her.
Please tell her that.
Welcome home, Boss.
Welcome home, Papa.
Nakatani wants to raid the Fujiwaras.
All by himself.
For me.
Two families will fight to the death...
for a woman, for me.
Who do you think you are?
The Fujiwaras have already made their move.
A word, please.
About what?
You'll find out.
Nakatani.
Yes, sir.
I'm assigning you to the office.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Our secret must be out.
You know Seigen of the Amida Temple, don't you?
I don't want to talk about him.
What if I tell you he's your brother?
What?
It's true. He's your brother.
You're lying.
But we... we...
Why didn't you evertell me about him?
It was 23 years ago.
I had an affair with one of the maids, Chiyoko.
Unlike your mother...
she was sweet and affectionate.
She had a baby with you.
No. She died before his birth.
With Seigen still inside.
Her body was in the river...
when an itinerant monk found her.
The baby was alive in her dead body.
A spine-chilling tale, isn't it?
When I found out about it...
I could only imagine her anger.
That's because...
Chiyoko was killed by your mother.
What?
Blinded by jealousy...
your mother pushed her down into the river.
What a horrible person.
She was.
But Chiyoko's anger horrified me, too.
I was afraid of the baby...
so I asked the monk to take him in.
And that was Seigen of the Amida Temple.
Indeed.
A little affair 23 years ago has come back to haunt me.
No wonder he and I clicked.
Misako.
Go spend some time in Shibasawa.
Why should I hide from Seigen?
I'm not asking you.
I felt it to the bone...
with Seigen.
Don't be rough.
You smell like liquor.
Who the hell are you?
Silly.
This is what I do.
You have to pay me now.
This much? Thank you.
Honey, be gentle, will you?
Oh, I love it.
You're amazing.
You're not from around here, are you?
That's right.
You're not really a monk, are you?
I didn't think so.
You were singing a song last night.
I'm a hostess in a bar.
Of course, I sing.
How did you end up
As a fisherman
So sad, so sad
Your skin gets darker
your body gets thinner
Wait until it's dark.
You must have gone through a lot to want to carry something this heavy.
You can't behave badly with the Bodhisattva on your back.
Would I be punished?
Worship the Buddha.
A butterfly.
What a beautiful butterfly.
Sorry. I got distracted by it.
That feels good.
Carry on.
How foolish. This is your own body.
Why do you torment yourself like that?
Torment?
You don't understand.
Forthe first time in my life...
I'm taking good care of myself.
But it's kind of eerie.
You've got welts all over your skin.
Why are you laughing?
I was told that with the Bodhisattva on my back...
I'm not supposed to kill anyone.
Are you a killer? With a gentle face like yours?
I guess even you have a dark side.
Your body is burning. It's so hot.
You feel better now?
Yeah.
Hey.
Make love to me.
You endured the pain well for someone your age.
This is one of my best works.
Mister.
Looks exactly the same.
Who are you talking about?
Well.
It looks just like the Bodhisattva statue at the temple.
Hello, Mr. Fujiwara.
I haven't taken care of my tattoos fortwo decades...
so the colors are fading.
I want you to redo them.
Ah, well.
Mister, do you mind waiting a little?
Hell, yeah.
What? - See?
With one or two more touches my Bodhisattva will come to life.
I'd be punished if I kept him waiting for some guy.
In other words, it's not a good omen.
You punk.
Are you telling me...
Son of a bitch.
Can I bear a Bodhisattva with no eyes?
Hey.
You.
I'm bloodthirsty, you know?
I want to kill someone so bad.
Come on.
Bastard. - Hey, Hide.
Who is he?
Seigen from the Amida Temple.
Seigen.
Boss, let me take care of him.
This priest cut off my hand.
I have to get even.
Mister.
Thatwas very rude of us.
We'll wait until you're done.
I want you to kill someone.
Do it yourself.
They know who we are, but not you.
I think you can pull itoff.
You weren't lying when you said you wanted to kill.
Sorry. Ljust don't feel like it.
You killed Kazama. He was one of us.
They couldn't reattach the arteries in his neck.
But we're willing to forgive you.
Just kill Saida Seimei.
After the killing, Momoi will take the rap for the kill.
Right, Momoi?
Yes.
I've seen many killings.
I can sense that you've really been through hell.
I'm devastated. This is really horrible.
I've lost my hand.
And it's crying out for me.
Oh, Mister, please.
Shut up and keep grinding. - You'll ruin my hairdo.
Pretty little thing.
You have beautiful hair.
Thank you. I just styled it.
Damn you!
Let's fuck like animals.
What's this?
Not to worry. It's a toy gun.
How did you end up
As a fisherman
So sad, so sad
Your skin gets darker
your body gets thinner
Hi, Seigen.
She's a good singer and dancer.
Calm down.
What the hell?
Darling.
It could be the father It could be the mother
Or it could be the child
Who suffers the most
The one who suffers alone
You were ready for this, weren't you?
I'm coming.
Hello?
Mr. Saida was just hit at the bar Full Moon.
They took him out. - What?
Guys, don't let your guard down.
Where is it?
It could be the father It could be the mother
Or it could be the child
Who suffers the most
The one who suffers alone
Perv! Get lost!
Our boss will hear about this.
Where's Misako?
Miss Misako?
Who are you?
Tell me where she is.
I have no idea.
How about another hole between your legs?
Guys would love it.
Come on. - She is...
Tell me. - She is...
Tell me where she is.
She is at...
their second house in Shibasawa.
You like that, don't you?
My mother was a maid here, too.
Just like you.
You lost Seigen?
Yes, sir.
Morons!
If he talks, they're going to bust me.
Go find him. Look all over the city and beyond.
Go! - Yes, sir.
This is Nakatani. Is everything okay?
Yes, but I'm bored to death.
I have bad news.
Yourfather has been killed.
Hello? Hello?
I'm listening. - Seigen did it.
Seigen?
From the Amida Temple.
You really started a big fire.
Do you realize that?
Don't talk to me like that.
I'm on my way there.
Don't open the doorfor anybody else.
Okay?
Seigen.
Call me big brother.
Parricide.
Have you gone mad?
That may be so.
Thanks to you.
Did you really do it?
That man...
I killed him for my mother.
I shot him with this gun.
I'll kill you.
You're going to kill me for him?
Very well.
Listen.
It's not'Seigen'.
Call me 'big brother'.
We're related by blood.
And we share the same father.
Of course, we feel it to the bone.
No.
You want to try?
Not here.
I've dreamed about this...
since the last time.
Have you got better in bed?
Do you like it?
I do.
Don't come yet.
Be quiet.
Do you respect me as your brother?
You? I never will.
Father looked rather peaceful.
As though...
he expected me to kill him.
Why did you do that?
For you.
If he were alive...
we'd never see each other.
I feel weird.
I'll never leave you.
We'll be together until we die.
Brother.
Brother?
Do you hate me that much?
I wish you had never been born.
I see.
Bastard.
Very well.
Such a beast.
Not bad.
So evil.
Go ahead and shoot.
Misako, do it.
I'm looking for a woman.
She's with a guy with a shaved head.
Like this one?
You didn't have to.
He had a relationship with you.
What now?
We'll live together.
We'll start a family.
Society won't let us.
Look who's talking.
The police are after you.
Not to mention the Saida Family.
No way out, huh?
Fine.
This is our honeymoon.
Do you have any money?
I think I can find a way.
This is Seigen.
Where the hell are you?
At a restaurant, having lunch.
You disappeared on us.
I need some money.
How much?
Three million yen.
That's a small price to pay, right?
I agree.
It's a necessary expense for the hit.
Where?
On the platform at Kitashibasawa Station.
I'll go get the money.
Wait for me here.
No. I'm coming with you.
You don't need to see Fujiwara.
Don't go anywhere, all right?
The Honored one
Replete with wonderful features
I now ask you again
For what reason the Buddha's son
Is named Bodhisattva the Rerceiver?
The Honored One
No begging around here.
DINER- REST STOP - MOTEL
I have good news, Seigen.
You won't be a bastard much longer.
Who are you?
Me?
My name is Ransetsu.
I brought you into this world.
What?
Did you take away Misako?
Don't flatter yourself. She left on her own.
Where did she go?
No idea.
Tell me!
I don't know.
Wait!
Look at your bloodshot eyes.
You must kill yourself.
Suicide? No, thanks.
You can't, huh?
If it's too much of a job, I'll help.
You brought me to life.
Now you want to kill me?
It's not that easy.
Die.
How pathetic, Seigen.
Do you love your sister that much?
I'll die with my sister.
That would be blissful.
That would take us to paradise.
A few months later...
the city that surrounds the Amida Temple...
is under the Fujiwaras'control.
Welcome home.
Have you been good? - Yes.
Please give me a hit.
I will.
Please, hurry.
Be patient.
Seigen has come back.
Here.
This will make you feel good.
Seigen.
Did you say 'Seigen'?
He's a drunk now.
He doesn't know how close he is to you.
Brother.
'Brother'?
To think he would marry his sister.
He sure was a bad man.
Poor thing.
You didn't have to be faithful to him.
You're a wild one. Now look at yourself.
What did you like about him?
Soon you'll even forget his name.
How did you end up
As a fisherman
So sad, so sad
Your skin gets darker
your body gets thinner
Misako is like the guy's pet.
You will not find your saviour in beauty?
But Master Ajari...
what's beautiful is beautiful.
Who's there?
Is that you, Brother Hide?
Seigen.
Brother, you came to kill me, didn't you?
So many times you've put me down.
This is the end, right?
I was determined to do this.
I've come to get you.
You're out of your mind.
They'll kill you.
If you're wise, you'll run.
Look at yourself. Don't preach to me.
But somehow it's turning me on.
If a samurai is destined to kill
Why can't he kill the love within?
He touches his hair that's grown too long
Hold on.
You can shoot first, if you want.
We'll both end up dead anyway.
Damn it. - Don't.
This was the path of the grudge
This was the path I went down
This has to be another lie
I know you're trying to fool me
But look, look at us
This is a bad joke
At the end, we killed each other
Is there a God?
Water.
Does God exist? - Water.
I wonder if there really...
Is a God
Why did we fall in love?
Like our love was real
No. No!
Stop it!
Please!
Let me go.
It could be the father It could be the mother
Or it could be the child
Who suffers the most
The one who suffers alone
The most wicked are the true subject of salvation.
THE END
