I'll never be easily loved...
Am I just too clumsy?
That girl who looks good in pink...
Is that who you want?
Is red not good enough?
The rabbit with red eyes runs away.
Even though I loved you so much...
If I'm sad, I'm going to die.
The rabbit that you like...
...isn't on the moon. It's just a rabbit...
When snow falls, the next day it will melt.
A flower in the moonlight is destined to fall.
You can become intoxicated in dreams, but reality will make you sober.
How unjust, that to struggle against time gains one eternity...
...but only through death.
I trust in the Buddha of immeasurable light
Love Song
Like the sand. Like her jet-black hair.
Like a butterfly crossing the sea in vain.
Its homeland, like a dream, lost...
Love for parents is only realized when they have passed.
If you try and talk to a butterfly, it flies away.
Such is life.
You're now destined to live in pain.
Did my words reveal my innermost feelings?
Yes.
I am pleased.
And now, with your understanding...
...I shall take your life.
Actually, I have come to take your life as well.
Is that so? How serendipitous.
Then let us go hand in hand down the path to the realm of the dead.
Thank you. But you'll just have to walk down that path...
...all alone, Kuroi Sabato.
I hate him too...
But the one I can never forgive...
...is you.
First I'll cut you down, the man who murdered my father...
...as the prologue to my long drama of revenge.
So beautiful...
You have become even more beautiful than when last I saw you.
My feelings for you grow and grow.
I must kill you with my own hands.
How about that.
Those love letters really were for you, Rin.
How sweet. Sweet in a creepy sort of way.
Hitting on a girl young enough to be your daughter.
Rin, I'll take over. He doesn't look like an opponent an amateur can handle.
I'm no amateur. I've been training for two entire years.
Lady Rin, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you.
Who'd love you?
In love, I seek perfection.
But the only perfect love can be found in death.
The flow of time stops for nothing.
White snow melts and mixes with mud.
The blue moon disappears behind the mountains in the distance.
Even the most fragrant flower loses its color and dies.
Everything bows to time's fate.
It's the same for the beauty of a woman.
Before your beauty withers away...
Your hair... Your eyes...
I want to make everything of yours mine.
If you kill the girl you've fallen for, then you lose everything.
You can sure talk some bullshit, old man Sabato.
What's so funny?
Someone like you will never understand.
The only thing that can defy time itself, the only eternity allowed to man...
...is death.
I wouldn't be so sure.
For all that grandiose gibberish you go off on, things that are eternal...
...like so much dog shit, might be laying around us more than you think.
So, old man Sabato.
Not many thrills fighting little girls, don't you think?
How about us two-handed heretics of the sword...
...go at it like wild men?
Tonight is the night my love shall be fulfilled.
No matter who you are, I'll let no one interfere.
If I'm in the way, then kill me.
Don't hold back.
Hyaku, over here.
That's Kuroi Sabato of the ltto-ryu.
Why is he with the Hundred-man Slayer?
Looks like he's that girl's bodyguard.
Revenge, huh?
When we get inside the forest, use that weird attack on him.
Golden Wasps!
Well done.
My face and shoulders have not been exposed for a very long time, Lady Rin.
What the hell are those?
It's unbearable to see the women you love grow old.
This is the woman who used to be my wife.
And this is...
What's wrong, Rin?
M-Mother...
What did you say?
Indeed.
This is the head of the woman who two years ago was your mother.
No, please don't !
Go ahead and destroy her.
Close your eyes and cover your ears.
Though we were of the same school...
Those worthless trash were far too brutal in their sport.
So I saved her life.
She's far too flawless a woman...
...to be taken by those who don't appreciate such perfection.
I'm going to kill you.
Kuroi Sabato, I shall kill you...
Even if I have to sell my soul to the devil...
...I will kill you!
Stop, Rin!
Golden Wasps!
Infinity.
Golden Wasps!
Manji!
I have trained my shoulder to twist completely backwards.
Understand?
Now that you understand, hurry up and die.
I have no interest in talking with men.
You perverted old man...
The Hundred-man Slayer...
...lost?
Are you trying to hurt your honorable mother?
You said you would kill me, Lady Rin.
Even if it's not by your hand, I am always ready to die.
For one thing. If I am able to see you die in eternal beauty...
...I will be more than happy to die.
When you die, I will take my wife's head down from my shoulders...
...and adorn them instead with your beautiful head, Lady Rin.
I shall recreate those nostalgic days of mother and daughter on my shoulders.
And lastly, I shall take my own life and have myself stuffed as well.
Together we will rise up, and perfected by our beauty...
...our love will last forever.
I'll say it once more.
If you will give me your life, I will hand over mine.
This is the ultimate proof of my love.
If I die...
Yes. Then I, the one you hate, shall follow.
It seems you understand.
Truly?
In my own way, I am still samurai.
I swear to, after I send you off...
What?
Manji!
Are you human?
More or less.
But because of these guys, I have a body that can't die.
What?
I see... So that explains it.
So that's the Hundred-man Slayer...
A man who won't die?
If you cannot die...
...then that means you've acquired eternal life?
Well, I suppose so.
I won't accept it. I will not!
I'll never accept it!
Die!
I wish I could...
Eternity is the proof of love attained through the beauty of death!
Someone like you...
As long as a fucked-up bastard like you lives...
...I wouldn't be able to die in peace anyway!
Eternity is in your hands even though you're alive.
Such men should not exist!
Quit your pointless rambling, you big perverted freak!
Lady Rin!
I lived for love. And I'll die for love.
I have no regrets.
Someone like you could never understand...
...these feelings.
Consider yourself lucky...
...that you can die!
Did you see that man?
I didn't , but Hyakurin and Shinriji did.
Hyakurin is saying she wants to ask him to join us.
He definitely is strong. He murdered the hatamoto Horii Shigenobu...
...and then killed the policemen of the Hacchoubori group, over a hundred.
You knew?
The reason we haven't caught him is because of his unique strength.
What do you mean?
If this Manji possesses interests similar to ours...
...there is a chance he will fight alongside us.
You let him go free because you predict he'll join us?
That's right.
You idiot.
You almost bought into that pervert's ramblings about love and death.
I can't believe you said, " prologue to my long drama of revenge."
I'm sorry.
But I thought you were dead then.
Manji, why do you have a body like that?
Never mind that.
Your mom, dad, and all his students are dead.
If you don't keep it going, the Mutenichi-ryu will disappear.
Isn't that right?
Risking your life over crap isn't a luxury you've got.
Even that Anotsu guy is fighting for his own school, remember?
Anotsu Kagehisa...
Master Anotsu, I need you to make a decision soon...
...or this will become very inconvenient for you.
You've shed a lot of blood to unite all the styles together.
There is a reason that the shogunate pretended not to see it.
In other words, it means someone was keeping an eye on us.
Do not worry, Master Habaki.
There are some who would consider that a threat.
But I'm not even going to think about it because my decision is already made.
Then...
I, Anotsu Kagehisa...
...accept the offer to be instructor to the Koukenjyo.
I will make a new style with my own hands.
An elite group that strives for nothing less than victory.
If the Anotsu house knows only the morality of the blade...
...no one will ever see you as a true samurai.
If there are any who'd join such a style...
I trust in the Buddha of immeasurable light If there are any who'd join such a style...
I trust in the Buddha of immeasurable light ...it'd only be the fringes of society like me.
Are you prepared to use...
...such subhumans?
Yes, I look forward to it.
Well said.
Yes, well said, truly.
Terrible news! Sir Sabato is... Sir Sabato is...
What happened to Kuroi?
Sadly, I awakened...
Overflowing reality is just...
...more of the empty lies.
To be honest, I have to get ready for the next one.
The morning slides in from the window.
Regardless of what I see, I remember.
I remember...
The unchanging wind always...
...just said this as it passed by...
"What's needed for this endless journey?"
Where should I go?
