*NEAR THE VILLAGE OF IGA,JAPAN*
Nothing has changed in ten years.
Master Jinen.
Goemon has returned.
Damn!
How cowardly! Who the hell?
I don't sense anyone here.
I wonder if something has happened to Master.
Oh, no. I must hurry!
Goemon!
Master!
Master Jinen!
Master?
Master!
Ah, Goemon.
This is yours.
Master, hold on!
Master...
I vow to take revenge for you!
"Goemon's Revenge" (Goemon No Fukushuu)
Don't you feel empty when one of us is not here?
He gets to see his sword master for the first time in ten years.
He was so excited, rushing back to Japan.
What's Goemon gonna do when he sees his master?
He'll receive the full mastery book of the Iga Ninja arts...
...as was promised 10 years ago.
The full mastery book of the Iga Ninja arts?
I've heard it contains the secret essence of the arts.
The mastery book might have a hidden map...
...which indicates where the hidden treasure of Iga is buried.
Well, aren't you all being selfish!
Aren't you the least bit worried about Goemon?
Well, look who's talking.
That hurts my feelings!
Well, the only thing bothering me...
...is that Goemon isn't the only one returning after ten years.
Yes, that's right!
Goemon's fellow disciple...
...the insidious and deadly Jinkuro.
Hello, young man!
How about some of Hong Kong's specialties?
Antiques, vitality medicine, toys and various other items.
No, thanks. I don't need anything.
Who's Jinkuro?
Either Goemon or Jinkuro will be given the mastery book.
Hey, young man.
Shut up!
Then, Goemon might be forced to duel Jinkuro for the book?
Yes.
Young man.
This is a good buy.
OK, OK. How much is it?
Discounted to a dollar.
A dollar? OK, OK.
And that means Goemon could be in serious danger.
You might be in danger before that, young man!!
Whoa! You are...
Lupin!
Shrimp!
Oh, no! Damn!
Well, you did a pretty good job disguising your voice, Pops!
Jigen, Fujiko, let's go!
Hey, Lupin. Wait!
See ya!
Hey! Wait!
Lupin! Lupin!
Master Jinen...
...if only I'd gotten here a little earlier.
Goemon. Don't resent Jinkuro.
Master, that's impossible!
Have you forgotten what I taught you?
What?
To know nature's breath.
That's my only teaching.
The plants that bloom in spring and bear fruit in autumn...
...will wither up and die in winter.
But when spring comes around again, nature revives itself.
But, Master! Human life!
Master's life won't come back!
I am talking to you like this right now, am I not?
I'll live in your heart forever.
But...
That's the way it is...
- Goemon, come out! - Jinkuro!
It's been a while, Goemon.
Jinkuro, why did you kill our Master?
It is you who killed him!
What in the hell?
I've just come back from talking to the people of Iga.
They said Goemon killed Master Jinen to get the mastery book.
That's ridiculous!
By killing you, I'll avenge Master Jinen!
I will kill you!
Do you think you can kill me in your condition?
Let's go!
Goemon, your skills have improved!
Damn you, Jinkuro!
You're a coward, Jinkuro!
If you were always fair, you wouldn't live very long!
Give me the other half of the map!
I will not!
You have only one life.
Do you want to die like Jinen, felled by your stubbornness?
If you wish to die, I shall grant your wish.
Who did that?
You goofed, Goemon!
Hey, Jinkuro. We're your opponents now!
Damn!
I'll finish this fight another day!
Wait!
Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy.
Lupin...
Look at you.
Goemon is in bad shape, and even lost his dignity.
"Iga Ninja Martial Arts Mastery Document" We can do nothing with only half of the map.
We must capture Jinkuro.
Hey, Lupin!
Lupin, Pops is back in Japan.
How persistent of you, Pops!
And he is already at the local police station, too.
Very impressive! Very impressive!
And Jinkuro was arrested by Pops.
Is that so?
Whaaaat! Jinkuro got arrested by Pops?
What's going on?
I guess Jinkuro and Pops made some kind of a deal.
You mean, he has police protection?
And Pops will use Jinkuro to lure us out.
We must move carefully.
Right, Goemon? What? Where did he go?
Damn! You're rushing things, Goemon.
Chief, the police escort is ready.
Good.
Thank you so much for your cooperation.
I will transport the deadly Jinkuro...
...by special police escort to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thanks for your hard work.
Please be careful on the way.
Yes, sir.
Wait!
Your life is mine, Jinkuro!!
Goemon! Like a moth to the flame...
Now!
You're cheating!
Goemon, ordinary methods are no good with you!
Damn you, Jinkuro!
He is such a troublemaker!
We need to hurry, it'll soon be too late.
Ready... Fire!
Jinkuro, you bastard!
All right. Cease fire!
Goemon, give up and come out!
How mortifying!
What?
Pops!
Lupin!!
No! No! Stay back!
Have mercy on me!
Jigen, let's rescue Goemon!
He's getting away! Capture Lupin!
Goemon, hurry up!
Are you sure the police can protect me from Goemon?
Of course we can. I am here. Me!
There's nothing to worry about.
It's you who worries me.
Yeah, you're right...
What? What do you mean?
Take it easy!
Calm down and plan on how to bait them, OK?
Don't tell me what to do!
You're a suspect for the murder of Futaro Jinen.
Shut up and do as I say!
I'll stop at nothing to capture Lupin!
I'm counting on you, Inspector Zenigata.
Damn it!
Hey, Goemon, be quiet.
You're scaring the fish away!
How could I possibly be quiet?
Jinkuro is alive and in police protective custody.
Don't be so hasty.
He won't get away from the police.
Still, we can't make our move yet.
Lupin, I'm counting on you to help me!
Don't be so hasty!
You should recover first.
Oh. Hey, take a look at this.
This is how Jinkuro is now, Goemon.
"Deadly Jinkuro First Court Hearing Tomorrow" Jinkuro goes on trial tomorrow.
"Deadly Jinkuro First Court Hearing Tomorrow" The Justice Department will take revenge for you.
Cold-hearted beast!
I'll get him with my own hands!
I got one! Come to daddy!
I understand how you feel.
But you didn't have to slice up my fish!
Hey, wait, Goemon.
I understand how upset you are.
But look at Lupin.
When he's acting like that...
...he's concocting a plan.
There he goes. Look!
His computer-like brain has started working...
...at maximum capacity!
Jigen. Goemon.
Here we go!
You came up with a good scheme, didn't you, Lupin?
I'll bring out your enemy, Goemon.
After that you can cut him into pieces...
...or whatever you like!
As I explained...
...there is no doubt that the defendant, Jinkuro...
...brutally murdered his master, Futaro Jinen.
Regarding the murder...
...the defendant has admitted committing it.
Isn't that right, defendant?
That's right.
I won't resist or make a scene.
So, Your Honour, just give me a verdict, will you?
This is boring me!
Jinkuro!you bastard!
He only wants a guilty verdict so he can seek refuge in prison.
Damn you!!
Hey!
If Zenigata finds us now, we'll be in trouble!
I know!
Your Honour, motion to make a statement.
Statement by the defence council granted.
Your Honour...
...the prosecutor is maliciously and purposefully...
...trying to obstruct judicial process...
...and has not submitted a single piece of evidence.
Motion sustained.
I request that the prosecutor submit...
...sufficient evidence of the murder of Futaro Jinen.
I shall now submit the evidence...
...which shows that Jinkuro murdered Futaro Jinen.
Exhibit No.1!
As the first piece of evidence, we submit this sword.
This is the murder weapon...
...the defendant used to kill Jinen!
The method of murder was horrific and gruesome.
Is this the murder weapon used to kill old Jinen?
Do you think you could kill someone with this?
"No Place Like Cabaret Don Don" "Special Service Month"
Order in court!
Exhibit No.2!
Here is a picture, taken at the murder scene.
This is proof...
...that the defendant did kill old Jinen.
See? It's extremely gruesome, isn't it?
This is you, isn't it, Mr. Prosecutor.huh?
Order in court!
If you mock these proceedings any further...
...I will charge you with contempt of court!
We have the defendant's statement.
We will submit this, as well.
The defendant confessed to the murder of the old man Jinen.
Here you are, sir.
Order! Order! Order in court!
I will now give my verdict.
I can sympathize with the defendant's position...
...whereby the real murderer, Goemon, is trying to kill him for no reason.
Therefore, in order to protect Jinkuro from the murderer...
...he should be in the safety of prison.
- Damn! - Wait!
But then again, all the evidence submitted by the prosecution was utterly bogus!
I therefore find the defendant...
...NOT GUILTY, due to lack of evidence!
Are you kidding?
I killed Futaro Jinen with my own hands!
I killed him!
I lost, Goemon.
Court is adjourned.
Now, Goemon, have a good fight.
Jinkuro! Fight me fair and square.
It seems the time has come.
Goemon.
You can't fight with your injured arm.
Jinkuro! I will now avenge my Master...
...with this sword!
Shut up, Goemon!
Goemon, unlucky for you, you're downwind!
It's a paralyzing drug.
No! Jinkuro, you're a dirty coward!
Don't! Let me kill him!
How daring of you to continue, Goemon!
I can't take this much longer.
Goemon. You have nowhere to run.
Goemon. It is time to die!
Die!
Goemon.
are you all right?
M-Master...
Let's see.
According to this map... Huh?
What's wrong, Lupin?
Can't you figure it out yet?
Oh! I've got it!
So where is the mastery book?
You need to cut this tree into a doughnut, Goemon.
Here it is!
"A fool should not open this lid."
What the hell does this mean?
Shall I open it then?
It says it's not for fools.
"Fortune Favors Cheerful Homes"
What the hell is this?
"Fortune favors cheerful homes."
Those who could laugh after opening this box...
...are given the full mastery of the art of life.
You understand, don't you, Goemon?
Great pains, but all in vain.
What would Fujiko say, waiting in Hong Kong?
Master.
A secret palace, from whence no intruders return.
And I challenged it.
It was full of beautiful girls, and I was so popular in there.
I may not be able to get out, either!
