These are so dull.
Looks like you're heavily outnumbered.
I'll help you out.
Hey...
Can you hold your breath and run like mad?
Shit! This is...
What was that smoke, anyway?
Aztec Brown, sleeping incense.
They won't be able to move for a while.
Those guys...
They're the Preservation Bureau's Kabuto Mountain defense forces.
You've been marked since about a mile away, lchimatsu.
I see.
You're lchimatsu from Kiriyama, aren't you?
And you are?
Inazuma...
Thanks to this lightning-shaped scar, that's what I'm called.
I came from the Southern Council. I'll accompany you from here on out.
Good evening, Mister.
You doing okay?
Hello, Mr. Daimon.
Nice evening we're having here.
Never mind that. You have some info, don't you?
About lchimatsu's job.
I'm wondering if it's going smoothly.
Yeah...
Dragon Palace Tavern Yeah...
Dragon Palace Tavern
On his way to the Kabuto Mountain political prison,
he was apparently attacked by the Preservation Bureau's defense forces.
But he was helped by someone from the south, thus getting by without incident.
That's as far as I know.
Someone from the south?
I see.
So he's come into contact with lnazuma.
Mr. Daimon!
Hi, Ohana.
Have you gotten used to the tavern?
Yes, I'm getting along.
Oh, you're here, Daimon.
You never show up unless lchimatsu's around.
Well, that's not what I intend.
Good.
Since lchimatsu's not here, we don't have enough men to do the work.
Help me a bit.
What? Hey, wait a minute. I have something to do...
No, no you don't. Come on, come, hurry.
Hey! Don't arbitrarily decide I don't have business elsewhere!
Here, Ohana. Hey! Don't arbitrarily decide I don't have business elsewhere!
Here, Ohana. Hey! Hey!
Political prison?
Just talking about abolishing the caste system
or spouting anti-Shogunate philosophy will land a person there.
One's personal pride and life are both taken away.
It's a sinister world.
A sinister world...
Yeah...
It's so sinister, it makes my skin crawl!
The Kabuto Mountain political prison
has degenerated into the Preservation Bureau's branch office.
It's reason enough to send in Samurai Gun.
So, how many people are in the Kabuto Mountain prison now?
Six defectors from the Choshu clan. If they're all still alive, that is.
I see.
So the idea is to spring them loose.
You didn't read the instructions?
I read them.
I just wanted to confirm again.
But isn't it strange?
The goal of a Samurai Gun is to defeat the evils of the world.
It's not to defeat the Shogunate.
And yet, even though they're Choshu or Tosa or whatever, anti-Shogunate loyalists,
a Samurai Gun is being sent to rescue them?
I don't care about the circumstances of the Council.
For now,
I don't care as long as I can do something that might be meaningful.
Such as helping people.
Helping people, huh?
Helping people definitely has meaning to it.
Inazuma?
He's from the Southern Council,
but there are rumors he's got ties to the Satsuma clan's inner circle.
In other words, we don't know if he's friend or foe?
Well,
from the standpoint of the Council,
they've got the ulterior motive of testing those rumors using lchimatsu.
You're kidding me.
This certainly seems like the way the Council does things.
He's with the defense force.
You were about to get whacked.
Corpland's Dunbar lll model, a six-shooter made in England.
Five years ago,
some anti-Shogunate loyalists from the Satsuma clan quietly tried to acquire these.
However, a certain man betrayed them
and because he sold them out to the Shogunate, nine clansmen were captured and killed.
A certain man?
The former head of the Satsuma clan Rougi School,
Gunkei Yoshii!
He's been promoted and is now the warden of the political prison.
Now, you criminal.
Let me now ask you again.
The enemy you hate and resist. Who is it?
The ones who desperately defend the authoritarian and unreasonable caste system!
The ones who defend the rotten state of affairs of the Shogunate system
because they've tasted the sweetness of power.
The madmen of Edo Castle!
It looks like listening to you any further is a waste of time.
You loser!
All right you guys.
As always, let's start the target practice.
He's a living target.
Aim carefully.
I have a gift for the one who shoots out both his eyes!
This is what's great! This!
The smell of this dark black gunpowder,
it's just fantastic!
Let's go, lnazuma.
Yeah, but it's hard to breathe with this thing on.
Bear with it.
What the...
What the hell are you?
Hold it! If you come any closer...
Have you come to save us?
That's right.
Just the two of you?
What of the others?
The others died.
They didn't talk, in spite of the warden's continuous torture.
The way their lives ended was worthy of praise.
Number Four SAKICH I
Inazuma...
Sorry, but from here on out, I'm going to do my own job.
Your job...
What do you mean by that?
Hold it, there.
Let me go.
If I lose my chance now, I'll never have an opportunity again.
What?
Five years ago,
the nine people captured due to Gunkei Yoshii's betrayal
were all my comrades in our anti-Shogunate faction.
While my comrades were being captured one by one,
I alone was able to escape.
Then, I joined the Council. I lived in shame for five years.
If I'm going to kill him, there's no other time than now. I've been living just for this day.
In the sense of wanting to do something meaningful, you and I are the same.
I'm going to exact revenge for my fallen comrades!
Even if I die on his sword!
If you hadn't been with me, I couldn't have come this far.
For that, I thank you.
Inazuma...
Take care, Samurai Gun.
Inazuma!
Wait!
If you mean for you and the warden to die on one another's swords, take us with you!
No way.
You guys need to get out of here alive!
Get back to Choshu.
Do that for your fallen comrades.
Listen up, you guys.
Having a half-assed carrot and stick policy is no good.
You need a STlCK and a stick.
In order to beat some sense into a human being, that's the best way.
If he dies when that's going on,
then that was all he was cracked up to be.
Oh, is that so?
Then your betrayal...
Was that just another one of your sticks?
You!
I've missed you, Gunkei.
You've seen this face before, haven't you?
Inazuma!
You're You're Under Under Arrest Arrest
You're Under Arrest You're Under Arrest
Thanks to your betrayal, our comrades were...
Shut up!
He's a bandit!
It doesn't matter who! Shoot him dead!
Don't flinch! Shoot! Shoot!
What are you doing? Hurry and shoot him down!
Shit!
Well, shit, out of bullets.
Inazuma...
It seems you've endured a lot of suffering.
But that's coming to an end now.
I'll put you out of your misery.
I didn't intend on finishing things with a projectile weapon in the first place!
You're all talk!
Here I come, Gunkei!
I'll exact plenty of revenge for those nine men!
GUNKEl!
Is he a fool?
He can die in vain and join his comrades for all I care!
Damn it!
So you're the warden?
You're going to abandon your subordinates and run away by yourself?
How many times have you done the same thing?
Who the hell are you?
Samurai Gun is here!
Shit!
Hold it, Samurai Gun.
That one's opponent is me.
I've lived on just for this moment.
Please.
Inazuma...
I'm asking you.
Don't interfere!
Inazuma!
Inazuma, pull yourself together.
I did it.
I cut down the traitor.
But actually,
I'm the same.
Five years ago, I ran away by myself.
That's the same as abandoning my comrades.
I can't ask them to forgive me after all this time,
but I at least wanted to atone for that.
Will you accept this?
I don't have any comrades I can give mementoes to anymore.
But you do right here.
You're my comrade.
I see. Thank you.
Inazuma...
I see.
So in the end,
Inazuma turned out to be an anti-Shogunate loyalist from the Satsuma clan?
Oh, him.
He seems to have completed his job.
Whether or not he was an anti-Shogunate loyalist has nothing to do with anything.
He completed a man's job.
That's all that matters.
You're right.
Inazuma,
I wanted to talk to you more about all kinds of things.
Goodbye, samurai.
Eventually, we'll meet again, in the afterlife.
