Unique culture, the pride of an island nation
Mt. Fuji
Samurai, etc., they were all
A part of a considerable number of things which disappeared
And now those things make us nostalgic
Oh yeah! I can't easily say, "l love you"
Oh yeah! That's certainly a passive nationality
Oh yeah! Don't worry, when it comes to living a long time I'm number one in the world
Oh yeah!
Yeah! From the A to the B to the C to the come on!
Now go, Samurai Crew
Won't you please understand?
Everyone is alive
Hey, listen, I know
Let's stand side by side with the confused world
Get rid of abstract concepts
Even safety is unstable somewhere
Who the opponent is, is irrelevant
I'll do this as many times as it takes
Thank you for listening.
Natural Enemies
Lord Kozan, there's something I'd like to report.
So it's you, Watou.
A man who seems to be a Samurai Gun has been captured.
And?
According to Edo Castle,
Mr. Seiritsu Urao will be escorting him in person.
Urao, huh? Then the credit will be his.
That is, if he carries things out successfully.
Watou, don't interfere.
Dragon Palace Tavern
Got it.
Bullets pierce through two people
Two bottles of sake and some tofu, right? Bullets pierce through two people
Coming right up! Bullets pierce through two people
Ohana really looks good. Bullets pierce through two people
Ohana really looks good. The spraying blood dyes the skies red
The way she walks is irresistible. The spraying blood dyes the skies red
Weren't you the one crying "Kurenai, Kurenai," until just recently? The spraying blood dyes the skies red
Weren't you the one crying "Kurenai, Kurenai," until just recently? In long, tangled black hair
Shut up! In long, tangled black hair
Hey, lchimatsu. In long, tangled black hair
Say, does Ohana have a boyfriend? In long, tangled black hair
No idea. In long, tangled black hair
No idea. Flowers of snow deceitfully bloom
Tell me! Flowers of snow deceitfully bloom
You too, Masa? Flowers of snow deceitfully bloom
You there. You're too loud.
Yes, Ma'am!
Have you gotten used to this yet?
It's a lot of fun.
I see.
Because I can be here with you.
Go deliver the sake bottles.
Come to my room after closing hours.
Hello!
Welco...
Oh. It's you, Mr. Daimon.
Come on, Chief.
I'm a customer, after all.
You would be if you'd pay your tab.
I'll take care of it, as soon as I get my pay from the school at the end of the month.
They bring you clams and radishes, then?
What?
The brats from the row houses bring you goods instead of money, right?
How did you know?
You're just too nice.
That can't be helped.
By the way, lchimatsu.
There's a place I want you to go with me, after you're done.
Special orders from the Council, coded in Kofu-1, have arrived.
Mr. Matsuzaki...
Please hold off on the questions until you hear the orders.
If it's an assassination mission, I'm out.
You're still saying that?
I just don't like killing.
Then relax.
This time, the mission is to break a prisoner out.
Breakout?
He's late...
An essential personnel member of the Council
was captured by the anti-Samurai unit.
Your mission this time is to rescue that man.
If the rescue becomes difficult...
You'll make us silence him, right?
That's why I'm telling you I don't want to!
Ichimatsu, the man who was captured is someone you know very well.
What?
One of the first generation Samurai Guns...
Number Six, Sutekichi.
You'll do this. Won't you, lchimatsu?
Come in.
I brought you some new tools.
She's Mitsu, from the Council's technology department.
Mitsu?
Yes, "Mitsu" as in "peach nectar."
It's the kind of name that sends your mind to the gutter, isn't it?
All the people who meet me for the first time say that.
Well, uh...
Please get used to using each of these by the time the mission starts.
The new model samurai gun, type 474.
Samurai Gun 474 The new model samurai gun, type 474.
And, as usual, frangible bullets.
And this, inside, in addition to explosives,
there are two substances, divine water and dragon water.
If you pull this pin here,
the substances will mix and when the time comes, boom.
I can guarantee its destructive power.
Can it be used underwater?
Would you like to give it a try, then?
Isn't it a good gun?
There is no good or bad gun.
It's dependent on the skills of the one using it.
Dragon Palace
What?
Ichi has the day off?
Yeah.
Kurenai's off, too.
Tonight, it'll just be you and me.
It'll get very busy.
Is lchi feeling ill?
Ohana?
I'll go look after him.
No need to worry. He's not sick.
He says he's got some minor business to take care of,
so he'll be away from Edo two, three days.
I see.
You're a Samurai Gun.
At the very least, there's no doubt you're one of them.
You won't be able to smile like that for long.
When this ship arrives at its destination,
you'll undergo a thorough inquiry.
Well, to put it another way,
it's a vivisection.
Number Five RODAI
Sutekichi...
Ichimatsu.
Have you gotten used to your new toy?
It might be a little heavy.
Before this, you were using samurai gun type-42, right?
That one's certainly light and easy to handle,
but there's a lot of recoil.
In terms of rapid-fire, the type-474 you now have will have greater stability.
Given that, even with normal bullets,
you can take down the enemy even if you miss his vital points.
Well, that's dependent on your skills.
Ichimatsu's skills are good.
But you don't like killing, right?
Do you like it?
No, no.
But this one Samurai Gun I knew said he enjoyed killing.
He's completely different from you.
Is that the man who helped you?
Yes.
Any evildoer, whether he's a warrior or a public official,
will be mercilessly killed by the "Samurai Guns," the rogues of justice...
However!
That image of yours is just a clever fairy tale being fed to the foolish people.
A Samurai Gun is really a combat tool trained by an insurgent group known as "The Council."
In other words, a human weapon!
Due to his special training,
a Samurai Gun's mental and physical reflexes are sped up to an abnormal degree.
However,
in order for a Samurai Gun to acquire those skills,
the training plants hideous things into the back of his mind at the same time.
An overpowering desire to take violent actions!
A monster who seeks destruction!
All of you are holding hideous monsters in the back of your minds!
What we were talking about earlier...
It's not just about liking or disliking killing people.
What I don't like is...
While I'm sick of seeing people bleed,
when I'm in a life or death situation,
nothing can be done about my body moving on its own.
Before I realize what's going on, I'm frantically killing the enemies in front of me.
I don't like that about myself.
I wonder if, underneath my mask,
I'm actually smiling while I kill.
Here it comes!
Now,
before the ship arrives at its destination, I want some information from you.
About the Council, that is.
But being a Samurai Gun, you wouldn't casually spill the beans over a little torture.
So I prepared some pain for the soul.
Gio, Castago, Gelt!
These women are loyal to us to the letter.
That's how they've been tuned.
Until you talk, they'll injure themselves and die.
Shall I make them dance wildly?
Goff!
Wait!
I'll talk.
I'll talk, so get the women out of here before I do.
I don't want to see blood spilt meaninglessly.
Very well.
Now, let me ask you this. About the Council.
It was created with what goal in mind?
You guys really don't understand.
There are such things as natural enemies, aren't there?
Creatures in the wild all have predators that naturally hunt them.
The Council is the natural enemy to Edo Castle.
Steam power has decreased!
The ship's speed is decreasing!
Shit.
Samurai Gun is here.
It can't be!
Hey, you.
Shall I tell you one last thing?
That is, after I was captured by you guys,
the reason I didn't bother trying to escape.
What?
I wanted to confirm what you guys in Edo Castle really had.
We've come this far defeating evil in the name of justice.
This was all to drag you guys out on stage!
Don't bother with the enemies who run.
It won't do you any good.
Just because you do something to me here,
that won't make Edo Castle budge.
You have no chance of winning.
You're fighting a meaningless losing battle!
Oh, there's meaning.
First of all, it's to get past you, an enemy in front of me!
And then, on to the next step.
That's where there's meaning behind the existence of a Samurai Gun.
Sutekichi!
Over here.
Haven't seen you since the days in the training hall in Ukishima.
Ichimatsu, sorry, but let me lean on your shoulder.
I messed up my legs a little.
Mr. Urao's corpse is inside the steam boat, which sunk.
The man who seemed to be a Samurai Gun has already disappeared.
Congratulations, Lord Kozan.
This will probably make you the staff chief of the anti-Samurai unit.
Watou, be careful of what you say.
There's something we need to discuss before we talk about one another's advancements.
How do we defeat the Black lnsurgents, the Samurai Guns?
That's where we need to start.
Perhaps even you've heard
About me?
I'm in good health
Have you forgotten?
The love and warmth we so wholeheartedly affirmed together
Are now directed toward different people
The memories of all the times we had as a couple
Are melting into a pale color
Now's a good time, so I want to say this
For the voice in my heart, I say thanks
