Ancient feudal Japan, a land shrouded in mystery
forbidden to foreigners.
A group of Magical Island Homes to Witchess, Demon.
A nation arrival provinces
who's lord a rule by a Shogun whose will is absolute.
Peace realm capped by the Samurai.
Master Swordman.
Task could protect their lord and Province at all costes.
Should a samurai have a lure of a fail his Master...
he suffers the greatest shame at all Japanese society.
He becomes a Ronin.
And yet to know the story of the 47 Ronin
is the know the Story of all Japan.
At began with a boy.
Noone knew where he came from or how he found the way to Ako.
Some said he's a chainlay, took over by a beast.
Many believed he've been Raised by the Tengu.
The Demon of Forest.
who had tough him the Dark Power
and trained him in a life lot of killing.
The evil he had fled lefted mark up on in.
Oishi!
My Lord, he is a demon.
He is a child.
Just like you.
Help me pick him up, Oishi.
Lord Asano, the province Ako...
saved him that day.
Seeing something in the boy, but Oishi did not.
Lord Asano's daughter, Mika, saw it too.
Mika's father allow the boy to live amongst them.
Against the advice of the samurai.
Look!
What do you see?
A branch?
No.
It's a deer.
It took his path.
You keep it, Kai.
The Samurai believed his presence would bring misfortune on their land.
Mika only saw a gentle boy.
Although he lived in a outcast
Kai determined to repay the love he ​​received from Mika and her father.
Whatever the cost.
Kai.
Well?
There's something wrong with the creature.
It's up there on the raise. It'll gonna come down against the hunt.
You would be safer to set the trap waiting for it here.
It's up on the raise, Lord Asano.
My Lord./ Kill it!
I would rather to be killed by the beast
than saved by a Half Breadth.
Yasuno!
Ako owe the a grate debt, Yasuno.
We can finally welcome the Shogun without fear.
For Ako!
Well done.
Get out!
Does Lord Asano live?
Yes.
Hosts Team of Shougun's Tournament is a great honor for my father.
Everything must be perfect.
My Lady

Yasuno showed great courage.
Is anyone badly hurted?
Who are you looking for?
Is everything pit for the Shogun's arrival?
Yes, Father.
I want all of Ako to share in this honor

My Lady, Kai has returned.
They told me you were hurted.
It's nothing, My Lady.
Your back.
Sit down.
Someone should've ben seen for these before.
Thank you.
I saw the shame in Yasuno's eyes when they're praising him.
Even when you try to help them, they hate you.
Your father's Samurai always treated me as well can be expected.
And is that all you expect?
It's all I know.
It doesn't have to be, Kai.
This is not place you may, My Lady.
Are yout sending me away?
Look at me and tell me you don't love me.
I always love you.
But you have your place
and I have mine.

Last week at a hunt, I saw fox.
I didn't realize at the time, that it was a witch.
A witch?
I believe I saw the same creature again tonight.
She was in humon form among the Noble Concubines.
My Lord.
They say only demons have the power to see past a Witch's disguise.
Are you a demon?
No.
Then I suggest you simply bewitch by beautiful girl.

Master of Nagato, from the Northern Provinces.
Ako is as beautiful as I remembered, Lord Asano.
We are honored to pay your visit, Lord Kira.

You have struck an unarmed guest and ashame your home.
The penulty is death.
Because of your rank and a service you have done Ako
I will allow you to regain your honor and the honor of your house
through Seppuku
death by your own hand.
So that, you may show courage and dignity in death
as you want show in your life.
The Shogun could have had me hung, like a criminal.
Instead, he has allowed me
to take my life with honor.
You have bewitched, my lord.
Your mind was poisoned.
If I accept my fate
noone will question the honor of our People
Or punish them for me crime.
Promise me
you will protect to Mika and Ako from our enemies.
My Lord.
I'm ready, Oishi.
And when I die
I would be honored if you would act as my second
My Friend.

Don't return see you cry.
We must have revenge.
Whatever the costs, it is our duty.
My lord, what will we have as do?
If we fight now, we die.
And not just us
Every farmer and villager in Ako will be killed.
We have to think of them first.
Poison, My Lady. It'll injure pain.
We have not lost Ako yet.
Your Highness.
Lady Asano.
I'm sorry for your father's death.
He accepted it with dignity.
Your Highness.
As my father's only child
I ask that I may look after his land until such time as I marry.
I've already considered this, My Lady.
So that day we view no between your clan
I decree that from this day
they will be one.
Sealed by the marriage bond between you and Lord Kira.
You're granted one year to mourn.
But you're remained a guest of Lord Kira until you're married.
Oishi.
You are now Ronin.
Master List Samurai.
I forbid you to sit vengeance of Lord Asano's death.
Lord Kira
I leave Ako with you.
From this moment on
you are banished from this land.
Those who remained, will be hunted down
and excuted.
You'll never see him again, My Lady.
Take a last look.
I don't trust Oishi. He no longer ask protect on his rank.
Throw him in the death.
Break his will.
Father!
Father.
Get away, get away from me!
Chikara, help him up.
Where are my men?
They have all left Ako.
And Lady Asano?
The time over morning is almost over.
Lord Kira took her to his castle to begin preparing for their wedding.
Chikara
Where do the Half Breadth?
Kira's men took him to the Jail Lands
and sold him as slavery.
We need three horses.
Now.
Riku.
You must make the whole world believe you have divorced me.
It is only way to protect you from what I have to do.
Noone. But you and I can know that
you are and always be...
the joy of my life.
I have the wife of a Samurai.
Whatever your duty is
It is mine too.
Show them this
And tell them to meet me at the Black Lake in a week.
Remember, the enemy will be watching.
Hi, stranger.
What's your business here?
I am looking for a Half Breadth.
Good luck, Samurai.
Half Breadth!
Kai!
It's Oishi.
Kai!
It's me!
Kai!
Lady Asano...
Mika!
She needs your help.
Kai! Soon Kira will marry Mika!
We must stop him! Are you with me?
Now!
Lady Asano is to be married in a week.
Why do you care?
When Kira took her away You're on your kneel instead.
We would have all being killed. You too.
What do you say if you are death?
What use am I to you?
You follow me, or go back to what you are.
Don't turn your back on me, Ronin.
Follow you for what?
Kira has a thousand men under his command.
He is also protected by Witch Craft.
When I told you but you turn me away.
I was wrong.
I felt My Lord.
I don't know who or what you are
But I need your help.
Clothes.
I'll come with you
But if you kneel before Kira again I'll take your head.
Where did you learn fight like that?
From Demons.
My Lord, forgive me.
The Half Breadth has escaped from Dutch Island.
They say a Samurai to help him.
Oishi.
Find Oishi. I need him dead.
Yasuno, it's Oishi!
He's back!
Everyone, Oishi is back!
Oishi is back!
Father.
Well done, Chikara.
Today, we may be Ronin
But now, the time has come.
What I propose, ends in death.
Even if we succeed
We will be hanged, as criminals
we're define the Shogun's order.
I take a bow before you
I will not rest until justice is done
will not sleep until our Master lies in peace
and will not pray
unless it is the ask of heaven forgiveness
we're sending Kira to Hell!
There are only two ways in.
The main gate here
And this point beneath the West Wall.
Both are heavily guarded.
Our best chance is this strike when Kira leaves the safety of his portals.
He will travel to his ancestor's strenght over prayers.
We don't know yet while he make the journey.
Isogai, you ride ahead to his Temple Town
and see what you can find out.
Remember, even near the holy side
there are many brothels and plenty of tangle officials who visit them.
Even if we know the route, we'll need more men to an ambush.
Then we'll get them.
You, Chuzaemon and Okuda
You gather as many of our former Samurai as you can.
Meet us here, at the Farmhouse. Horibe has found for us.
Forgive me, sir.
But, how can we succeed without a good sword?
Take mine.
When we meet again, I'll have more waiting for you.
The rest of us will go to Uetsu.
To find a sword make a Sinderland Work there.
Why is the Half Breadth here?
I ask him to come.
We can't take him with us. He's not a Samurai.
None of us are Samurai anymore.
Who are you?
We are farmers from Shimobe, sir.
We have come to buy tool rule.
This is Lord Kira's village now.
These are not farmer's hands.
Take the sword whatever you can saw it.
We'll need more.
Help him.
Eat, My Lady.
You think I care if you starve?
Soon My Lord will be ruler of all Japan.
And you can tak your life, like your father did.
You killed my father.
Weren't you the one who brokes his heart?
You betrayed him with your lust.
We can go to Hida.
They will give us weapons.
You'll find nothing in Hida.
Kira's men take enough for this entire region.
There is another way.
You will find a sword in Ocean of Trees.
The Tengu Forest.
That is just a myth.
I've seen them.
How do you know about The Tengu Forest?
I was raised there before I fled to Ako.
Those scars on your head
are they the one who marked you?
Yes.
And tough you to fight?
To kill.
They've many strange and magical ways
to protect themselves and their believes.
They wanted to show me that this life is nothing to offer but death.
They wanted me to be like them
renounced the world.
I vow never to use the magical powers they tough me.
Although I was still a child
I knew my place was among another men.
And you think Tengu would give us weapons?
They will test our will.
My wife is just want stop leading me.
She wanted me to find her the best view of Lord Kira procession.
Procession? What procession?
Nobody knows when Kira will leave this fort place.
Not even his own gurd.
He'll hurry back before anyone is awake.
What is your name?
Yuki.
Where do you from, Yuki?
You've come back.
Are we lost?
No.
They know we're here.
What is that noise?
Ghost.
Spirit of load and firmware. Left you die.
And want the children too.
Only you.
I'm coming with you.
No.
Do what he says.
Stay here.
Whatever happens since now
Whatever you see
Don't draw your weapon.
Wait here.
How do we know that Half Breadth hasn't led him into a trap?
Oishi trust him.
Of course, he ​​has no choice.
We need weapons.
If he doesn't come back soon
I make he after him.
So the the terrified boy, return as a man.
I have come for your help.
We're a need of swords.
Then take it.
This sword is the voice to defend us against the hatred of men.
Men who persecuted us, for believies.
The same men who despise you for being different.
And now, you're here to help them.
They're good men.
Their cost is just.
Many come flows to you
but none return.
You told him not to draw his sword.
If he does
He and all his men will die.
Was it was it? But you found in the outside world?
The love a woman you can never have?
Yes.
Let me tell you of love, Kai.
The love of one night
that brought you into this world.
An English sailor and a peasant girl.
Your loving mother, abandoned you to die in this woods.
A monster Half Breadth Child.
Yet, we found you.
Accepted you, trained you.
We taugh you of many things.
But you fled
and you turn your back on those gifts.
Gifts of Death.
No matter what you do
Mika will never be yours in this life.
Then I would go to my death and pray I find her in the next.
Sir?
What are you doing here?
We told you to stay.
No! Yasuno!
Draw your sword.
Save them.
Draw your sword!
Save them.
Draw your sword.
Save your men.
No more talk.
Will you give me what I ask?
Take the blade, Kai.
If you can reach it before me.
Save your men.
Help them.
Draw your sword, Oishi.
Save them.
Chikara!
I've gift not forgotten.
You passed the test.
Your men are safe.
You got your swords.
What's so special about these swords?
What do they do?
Depends.
On what?
Who use these up.
What about a tall, strong...
Brave man like me?
They cut.
I think mine is broken.
Your sword.
You keep it, Hazama. I told you We'll bring others.
I have the information you requested.
Lord Kira leaves for his ancestors right tonight.
Well done.
Come, Isogai.
Gather the men.
Father.
I want to go with you.
No.
Horibe, stay with him.
I ride to my ancestor's ride through for thank for our wedding.
Is there anything you wish me to pray for?
My lord will not like my answer.
You may look down on me, My Lady.
But our children and their children will be one blood.
Take care, Hasama.
Sorry.
It's a trap! Go! Go!
It's a trap!
Get back!
Get out!
Yasuno!
Oishi, help me! Basho!
Hasama!
No!/ Oishi!
It belongs to Oishi, My Lord.
Your Half Breadth is dead.
And also dozens father's men.
All killed
Trying to save you.
Perhaps now, you understand
the price of your love.
I promised to my Lord
I would not hurt...
a hair on your head.
But what you do to your self
is not my concern.
Good night.
Kai...
I have a confession to make.
When I was a boy
I used to wait in the woods outside the hop.
And when you came out
I threw stones at you
then hide.
I knew it was you.
I could see your belt stick enaugh from behind the trees.
I'm sorry, Kai.
You're a good man.
I should have fow to the take of Lord Asano died.
Our anger should have been suddenly and swift.
Then even if we're failed
it would have been with honor.
You are a Samurai.
We still have a sword to beneath him surprise.
Kira think we're ghosts.
We can use that, turn it into our advantage.
He'll never expect us.
We can still do what we came for.
Eat.
Your arm?/ Fine.
Go get your father.
Stay where you are!
What is this?
We are not some village cube to be bandits.
Lord Kira himself has hire dusk to perform at his wedding.
I have the letter and task to prove it.
There is no need.
We saw your perform in Ako.
You're Lord Asano's men.
We need your help.
Kai.
Forgive me for not thanking you for defeating the beast
and saving my life.
A Samurai has not decreated for victory of others.
This belongs to Basho.
A Samurai wears two swords.
When a crime goes unpunished
The world is unbalanced.
When a wrong isn't avange
the Heavens look down on us seen shame.
We too must die for this circle of vengeance to be closed.
We will leave a note of our courage.
So the world will know who we were and what we did.
Tonight, we will regain our honor
and avenge our Lord.
None of us know how long he's alive
or when his time will come.
But soon, all that we left about brief lives
is the pride our children view when they speak our names.
Kai!
We end this now.
Now...
we are 47.
What do you see?
The all meants are good.
Soon, you will travel far
in every town and village, people show bow before you.
Hold!
Let them through!
Five minutes!
Lord Kira
we are proud to present to you
our performance as a gift for your wedding.
Don't hurt the Princess!
Kai!
Get them!
Stay there!
I knew you'd come for me.
Nothing will I keep away from you.
Nothing, Half Breadth?
Even Death?
I know what you are.
You have no idea.
I'm not afraid of you.
You should be.
Come on!
Now and how the debt of My Lord come which.
In the Name of Lord Asano of Ako!
For Lord Asano!
Chikara.
Rest now, My Lord.
You are avanged.
Oishi...
I gave you a command forbidding you to take revenge.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
But a man may not live under the same heaven
as the murderer of his lord.
All I ask
is the respect for my men.
They are brave, My Lord.
The breavest I known.
I beg you to let them die
with the dignity they deserve.
For the crime of this obedient
you should all be executed as common criminals.
But you and your men
Follow the all ways of Bushido.
You honor your lord
into avange traitory.
I see only Samurai before me.
I grant you as Samurai's death
will be buried along side your lord...
with honor.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Lady Asano is like her father.
She will make Ako great again.
Yes.
I know.
My father told me
This world was only a preparation for the next.
But all we can ask that we can live it, having love
and being loved.
I will search for you through a thousand worlds
and ten thousand life times until I found you.
I will wait for you in all of them.
Wait!
Chikara...
Son of Oishi.
Step forward!
Oishi
I will not deny our country your blood line.
Your son shall alive
to serve Ako.
As you and your Samurai have done.
I will search for you through a thousand worlds
and ten thousand life times
until I found you.
The memory of the 47 Ronin
who put duty and justice before their fear of death
has lived down through the centuries
As one of great example of honor and loyalty
in Japanese culture.
