Jubei!
As soon as you've awoken...
the Hiruko Clan falls to its demise.
How ironic.
But your needless bond has also been cut.
All in all, a happy turn of events.
How utterly joyful.
Up there.
The future rests on what happens on that mountain.
Now it's the Light Maiden's turn.
Now search in your memory. Of the olden days.
Ah. The song of the ancients.
The memory of the ancient kingdom that lay dormant...
with the Light Maiden has been awakened.
This song...
I've heard this before.
Go inside.
You want to know, don't you?
Who you really are.
The answer lies beyond this opening.
Do as I have instructed you beforehand.
Yes, sir. Let's go!
Dammit, what am I supposed do now?
Wait a minute!
Huh?
Jubei!
C'mon, let's go!
Huh? What? What are we gonna do?
It's the Yagyus! Don't let them get ahead of us!
Huh?
Come on!
Charge!
'Scuse me, just passin' by.
Man, scary!
Hey, old man, doesn't that thorn hurt?
Hmm? Oh, this? Didn't work at all.
It took some acting to look like it did.
As I figured, your neck is tenacious as well.
You old fart...
You need to fool your friends to fool your enemies.
I saved those female ninjas.
Aren't they both beauties?
Dirty old man.
No one goes beyond this point!
Stop, under orders from the government!
Get out of my way!
Follow him!
Here and there. Here and there.
Tsubute! You go ahead, too!
That goes without saying.
The Maiden is going forward as though...
she is being pulled by the memory of the ancients.
It seems that is so.
By the way, are you aware?
Yes.
Udayuu, Sadayuu.
Disperse!
My lord, go now!
Gunbei!
Thank heaven that's over.
Hotta, Kawabe, Satomi...
Let's move. Before Yamikubo gets too far.
It is behind this?
Yes.
I don't know what is behind this door.
But... I have a feeling I've seen it before.
This is the memory of the Light Maiden.
Now, Maiden. Open the door.
And see for yourself!
Oh, this is...
Uh-huh...
I see something like a tomb or an island.
Do you suppose that the treasure is out there?
Oh, damn, it's so narrow here.
Huh?!
Oh, man...
Heaven protect me...
Ouch!
It's you, old fart.
What happened to the Yagyu Clan? Did you kill 'em all?
You're kidding.
Can't deal with all of them, so I split when I got a chance.
Yeah.
I'm sure the Yagyus and the Kimons...
are knocking each other dead as we speak.
What an elaborate contraption, Yamidoro.
Yes.
With this, even I can get across to the other side.
Aye, sir.
From here on...
do as you wish, dear Maiden.
As you wish...
Yamidoro...
I must finish the battle with you!
Couldn't even go to hell like you should've.
Mufu!
Yamidoro!
Yamidoro...
Judgment from heaven!
Hey, how's it going?
What are you surprised about?
I'm not a ghost, you know.
Who cares!
Well, well. You're alive, Jubei Kibagami.
This time in alliance with the Yagyus.
Head of the Kimon Clan!
Your lord is done with.
Any further fighting is useless!
Carry on. After all, I am a shadow.
As you wish.
You... a shadow decoy?!
Lord Yamikubo cannot be defeated by a greenhorn like you!
Shigure!
They're calling me.
Shigure!
I won't allow you to have the Hiruko treasure.
Butthead, what are you talking about?!
I see that the Hiruko treasure...
is that young woman, the Light Maiden herself.
What?!
You saw her power in creating that bridge.
That is the extraordinary power inherited from the ancients.
The proof of her ancient royal heritage...
is her evil power bent on destroying the world.
Shut up!
So she moved a few rocks and you call that evil!
Mufu...
what will the Maiden desire?
Hmm?
When she inherits everything as the Light Maiden...
which path shall that young woman take?
It will be...
up to her wishes!
Is that so?
I will return this to you.
Who I am...
and what my destiny is about...
I know everything now.
I want to live the present...
as myself...
Jubei!
Jubei, run!
Shigure!
The root of evil must be extinguished!
Move away!
Butthead!
This place will collapse soon. Get out, please!
Collapse, she says!
Unless I kill that young woman...
the blood of the ancient kingdom will remain.
So what... if it remains?
I will not allow you to use your quick-draw technique!
Jubei!
Shigure, go!
Get out!
I see that the Light Maiden has chosen to abandon her power.
Yes.
The Hiruko Clan will also perish here.
That may be a good thing...
brother.
You're right.
You're up?
Are you OK?
Where am I?!
Jubei?
Jubei.
Jubei!
Hmm.
Uncharacteristic of me.
To think back about them...
It's been a while...
Here goes!
Oh, man, now why do I have to be doing this?
I can't laugh at Tatsunosuke anymore.
But you're hoeing like an old pro.
You look great.
Knock it off!
You know, though...
you're not gonna be here growing vegetables forever, are you?
Traveling was great, wasn't it?
So whassup?
Well, yes.
I'll think about it when I get to that fork in the road.
For now, living like this has its charms doesn't it?
Well, yeah...
No way, man!
I want to do something big that makes lots of money!
No way would I keep doing this.
Wherever you go, the sky is the sky...
and people are people...
Well... let's get going.
Wherever you go, the sky is the sky...
and people are people.
