SATOMI HAKKENDEN"
Lord Motofuji, please look at this.
These are the heads of Shigeyoshi Satomi and his family.
One is missing.
The most important head is missing.
What happened to Princess Shizu, the only daughter of Shigeyoshi?
Ma'am!
We couldn't find her anywhere in the castle.
What?
The waiting maids we captured said
She escaped just before the fall of the castle.
What are you going to do about it?
We've arranged men to look for her.
All of Nanso is already under your control. Lord Motofuji.
She can neither run nor hide.
We brought this back, as you ordered. Please enter the castle.
We've finally returned, Motofuji ...
To the castle where you were born and raised 100 years ago.
Honorable Mitama...
Motofuji and I have returned.
Honorable Mitama, please look.
We've killed the Satomi clan like this.
All except only Princess Shizu.
But we will capture her soon...
And we'll present her head to you.
I'm back.
Did you get them?
Yes, but ...
I was only able to get one kimono like this.
It can't be helped.
Princess, you can change your clothes later. But for now ...
Please eat this.
We still have to walk the mountain paths for several dozens more days.
Unless you eat, you can't gain strength.
Princess!
By all means ...
We have to take you to the your uncle's castle in Musashi.
That's our duty.
Please don't be that stubborn!
I'm not being stubborn!
I'm thinking how to avenge...
The deaths of my father and mother.
You can only do that when your body gains strength.
Please eat.
I cannot eat the meat.
If I do not know of what kind it is.
If I tell you, are you going to eat it?
I might.
This is the meat of a blue-green snake I found in the back of this cottage.
Now, as you promised...
You will be satisfied if I eat it, right!?
It tastes good.
Kohagi, give me your hand!
I'm sorry.
Kohagi looks more like a princess...
...than I do. Don’t you think so, pops?
Yeah. Oh... no, no.
It's better if you have Kohagi dressed lightly, like me.
We can't do that. We have to hurry, now.
Horses! The sound of hoofs!
Princess, hurry!
Pops!
Princess, hurry!
Kohagi!
Kohagi, hurry!
Princess, please run away! Fast!
Pops!
You can’t go!
You can't go, Princess!
Release me! Kohagi will...
You can't!
Pops!
Princess, please make sure you get to...
Your uncle as fast as you can.
And your family...
Pops!
Motofuji Hikita!
I swear I will kill you someday! I will kill you!
Lord Motofuji, please look at her.
You're frightened. Good.
I prefer the pale skin of fear on a woman.
Listen, Princess Shizu.
One hundred years ago, we, the Hikita clan ...
We were attacked and destroyed in this castle .
By your grandfather, Yoshizune.
Our castle was set on fire.
I was an infant, and my face was burned to the point of misery.
While being burned in that fierce fire...
We swore that we will curse the Satomi clan as long as their descendants live.
I fixed my face"
With skins stripped from noble princesses.
But an important part is still missing.
I will complete my face tonight.
Princess of the Satomi clan, I will take your skin.
Please wait! That girl is not the Satomi princess!
What!?
Honorable Mitama does not like her blood.
Oh ... Honorable Mitama, please calm down.
Oh... Please calm down.
You! You deceived us!
Damn you!
Get out of my way!
Get out of my way, you hicks!
Hey, hey, hey! What’s the matter!?
You cowards. It’s me. It’s me.
I'm Shinbei, everybody.
Did you forget my face?
What?
What did you say?
Hey! All of you show me your wrinkled faces!
Where are all the girls?
The great Shinbei has returned!
Hey, bring me some girls!
Hey! You're old man Hiko.
Where is Omitsu...
...the pride of your family?
Where have you been, Shinbei?
I have been to a war, of course.
Look at the horse, armor, and sword!
I bet you didn't get them as a reward for your achievements.
You must have stolen them from the dead.
What did you say!?
I must be right. You fool.
Why, you!
You said you didn't want to be a farmer and wanted to be a samurai.
While you were living your selfish dream...
Old man Gen died.
What!? What did you say?
Although he found you as an abandoned child and raised you .
You didn't even visit him in his deathbed. His soul cannot rest in peace.
Shut up!
I just can't believe it.
I just wanted to please the old man.
I thought if I become a samurai...
The old man would be proud of me.
But I couldn’t.
They no longer needed us common soldiers when the war was over.
Old man Gen is dead. And I failed to be a samurai.
What should I do?
What are you doing?
This shed's for burning charcoal. There's no food.
Are you hungry?
Are you hungry!?
Take this.
Eat it!
You wolfed that down. Here you go.
You are hopeless.
Don’t you even know how to eat baked rice balls?
You hick.
Say, where did you come from?
That way.
That way, where?
That way.
Are you a fool?
You're just a little boy with dirty clothes.
I'll give you all of this. Take it and go away.
Scram!
Hey. Wait a minute!
Hey!
You! Wait!
I said, wait! Wait!
You are a woman, aren't you?
Hey. Why are you dressed like a guy?
Why you! Tell me!
Why won't you tell me?
Princess. Please get away quickly!
Princess?
Hurry!
Sir!
Hey, you! Wait!
Why you!
Damn it!
Princess.
Who are you?
We were looking for you.
I am Dosetsu Inuyama. He's Daikaku Inumura.
We are descendants of people who served your family in the old days.
There she is
Do not let her get away! Capture her!
Don’t let her go! Go after her!
The man who captured the Satomi pricesses will get as much reward as he wants!
Go! Go!
Satomi princess?
Can get as much reward as he wants?
Okay. I won't let anybody take her.
This is something drawn by my grandfather, Tadayoshi Hachiro.
The origin of your clan's misfortune today . . .
...is drawn in this picture scroll.
Please take this in your hands and look.
About 100 years ago...
Our grandfathers, who served under the Lord Yoshizane Satomi . . .
...attacked the castle of Sadakane Hikita.
At that time...
Sadakene was infatuated with an evil woman called Tamazusa ...
And spending days of alcohol, gluttony and sex.
So, accepting pleas by farmers who were suffering from poverty . . .
Lord Yoshizane sent an army to subdue Sadakane.
Sadakane’s head was taken easily.
But that evil woman, Tamazusa, before she died...
Cast dreadful curse:
Damn you, Yoshizane! As long as your descendants live . . .
I will curse your Satomi clan!
It might be because of the curse, soon the castle of Satomi ...
... was soon besieged by armies of neighboring feudal lands . . .
and was forced to the verge of ruins.
Lord Yoshizane, exhausting all his energy...
... said to his pet dog, Yatsufusa, that happened to be near him . . .
... that if he takes the head of the enemy leader .
he will give Princess Fuse as his bride.
This was said as a joke.
Father! Yatsufusa is no ordinary dog!
Then...
That night, Yatsufusa succeeded in taking the enemy leader's head ...
The Satomi clan won the war, but...
... even if it was a joke spoken out of distress . . .
... a lord should keep his word.
Princess Fuse said so and...
... left the castle with Yatsufusa, giving herself to him.
This is Tamazusa's curse exactly.
Unable to accept the fact that their princess was taken by a dog . . .
...our grandfathers raided...
...deep in the mountains with a rifle squad.
But the bullets shot by the squad...
...struck Princess Fuse...
... who was shielding Yatsufusa.
Then...
From the body of Princess Fuse...
...eight balls flew out with lights.
And the princess said...
Do not be sad.
In 100 years ...
... these illuminated balls will revive as eight dog warriors . . .
...and, led by a Satomi princess, they will conquer Tamazusa's curse.
Our clan was destined to live ...
...and I would die for that.
This is ...
The flute left by Princess Fuse.
Also, please look at these.
Are they ... ?
I heard that when I was out of my mother’s body...
I firmly held this ball in my right hand.
I held this in my left hand.
For this strange destiny, we share...
... the illuminant balls that flew off from Princess Fuse’s body.
Then, are there six more people...
Who have these same kind of balls?
Yes.
They will fight against Tamazusa's curse...
Under your leadership, Princess Shizu.
Under my leadership?
Yes. It was commanded by Princess Fuse.
But, what can I do ...
...with only eight supporters?
That's right.
If you are that much concerned about me ...
I want you to take me to my uncle in Musashi.
Musashi?
"Gain the support of your uncle and defeat Motofuji."
That's what my father and the old man told me.
Princess.
Defeating Motofuji and the others cannot be accomplished by the use of force only.
What?
Dosetsu and I have watched them carefully.
They are not human beings...
that live in the castle.
They are demons...
born from Tamazusa’s curse.
Except for you, princess, and the eight Kenshi (dog warriors) . . .
... there is no one who can conquer these demons.
I cannot believe such a story.
It's unreasonable to believe that!
You have to believe it!
My life will last only one more month.
I can live only one more month.
Suffering an illness, my health is deteriorating day by day.
Within a month...
I have to find our other comrades, by any means.
And destroy those demons.
That won't be possible...
... without you.
We ask you humbly...
Please ... please be the means ...
To search for the other comrades with us.
Motofuji! Motofuji!
Come here quickly! Motofuji!
What's the matter. Mother?
Mitama has told us to capture Princess Shizu without a moment's delay!
Otherwise, protected by the lights of eight balls . . .
A vengeance will fall on us!
Eight balls? What are they?
The Kenshi who has the eight balls...
Under the leadership of Princess Shizu...
They are going to come to destroy us!
What are you doing?
Go on and capture them fast!
Please calm down, mother.
Funamushi. What do you think what my mother said?
Certainly, eight balls are drifting...
... illuminating dim lights in the direction of East.
Then, the lights will guide us to Princess Shizu.
Go, everyone. Go!...
Capture Princess Shizu and those warriors by any means.
Yes, sir!
Mother, you do not have to worry.
We have eternal youth and life.
No power would be able to destroy us anymore.
Motofuji, remember this, at least...
When you start to think that you are the strongest on earth . . .
You are on the path to destruction.
It might be because to celebrate Hamaji’s wedding...
that cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
The blossoms are out of season, but auspicious.
Don’t you think so, Shino?
Yes.
Why do you look gloomy?
Are you sad because your sister is getting married?
No, it's not that...
As brother and sister, you're close to each other, so it is understandable.
But your sister will marry a man of wealth, asked to be the bride by the magistrate.
It is a happy, happy event.
It is such a happy event.
Who are you?...
Your faces don't look familiar.
Oh, we're acquaintances of the Magistrate.
Hearing that he will have a beautiful bride ...
We came down from the mountain.
Kill it quickly!
Magistrate Kyuroku Higami, I will kill you!
Who are you...
Keno Inusaka. Die!
Stay out of my way if you don't want to die!
Damn you!
Hamaji! Are you all right, Hamaji?
Shino!
Damn you!
Please don’t go, Shino.
Let me go!
Outside! Go outside!
Catch her!
You!
Shino!
Don’t, Shino!
Let me go, Hamaji! Let me go!
Please run away with me, Shino!
What!?
The magistrate is dead now.
So the two of us can go anywhere we want.
I was waiting for this to happen!
What are you saying, Hamaji?
Please, take me and run away.
What are you doing, Shino?
Where is that murderer?
Uncle.
I'm in love with Shino!
Hamaji!
I am telling you, I love Shino.
Hamaji!.
I've loved him for a long time.
You're brother and sister, Shino!
Even though you're not related...
... you were raised as brother and sister from childhood.
What are you doing to your sister?
I am not doing anything!
Shino!
Then, did you help that female murderer?
Did you let her kill the magistrate?
Don't be stupid!
You fool!
And then, did you try to take Hamaji and run away?
Uncle!
Get out of the way, Hamaji!
You forgot your obligation for being raised. Disobedient child!
I will kill you!
Stop it!
Get out of the way!
Uncle!
Hamaji...
Hamaji!
I certainly got the head I had promised.
Taking a head in exchange for money...
That's an interesting business.
Moreover...
You're the type only a snake would like.
Look.
People get uneasy and stay away from a person who is liked by snakes.
Is that why you started this business even though you are a woman?
Wait!
I must be, also...
A snake that's attracted to you and has come out.
I wanted to meet a woman like you.
You're a woman who was born for me.
You cannot escape from my grasp.
What is that light?
This has been always with me from my childhood.
When it identifies an enemy, it glows.
Then, are you one of the Hakkenshi (8 Kenshi)?
I'm all alone in this world I do not have any friends...
Do not come near me. You are my enemy.
I will surely kill you if you come near me!
Keno!
She completely rejected you, didn’t she, Yoo-no-suke.
Funamushi...
Was that the ball that Lady Tamazusa was talking about?
Certainly. There's no doubt about it.
Okay now ...
I will definitely capture that woman.
What is your name? How old are you?
Where did you grow up...
Do you remember the face...
... of your father? No, I mean, the face of your mother?
What on earth ... Is that woman a monster?
Hey.
Are you all right, old lady?
Hey.
Excuse me.
Please let me enter.
You!
Why? Why did you cause such havoc?
That's what I did, led by my destiny. I don't make any excuse.
You! Because of you, Hamaji died!
Mother.
I'm back.
Oh, do we have a guest?
Please enter.
My mother probably...
went to fetch edible wild plants.
Please relax and make yourself at home.
Daikaku grew up in this hut...
And learned many things from many mountain ascetics.
That's why he excels in military arts...
And he knows a lot about academic things which I don't understand.
No. That's an exaggeration.
Well, it seems that my mother is back.
Daikaku, are you home?
What's the matter, mother?
My eyes suddenly started hurting in the mountain.
Are you all right?
I'm all right. It'll pass soon.
Mother, this is Princess Shizu.
We've finally found the Satomi princess ...
... whom Dosetsu and I had been looking for.
Oh. That's good. That’s good.
As might be expected, you have beautiful eyes.
You must be tired from walking the mountain paths.
Daikaku, prepare her a bath...
... and let her wash off the dirt from traveling.
Yes.
Princess Shizu, I want your eyes.
I want to eat those clear eyes of yours.
That way...
My eyes will be cured.
Somebody, help! Dosetsu! Daikaku!
Help!
Mother!
Mother! What's the matter?
Ah! I want to eat that woman's eyes!
Mother!
Be on alert, Daikaku!
It's a monster that killed your mother and possessed her body.
Daikaku, take the princess.
Yes.
Dosetsu!
Princess!
Daikaku. Did you see the old woman?
Yes. If I'm not mistaken her name is Funamushi.
She's one of the demons of the group led by Motofuji.
Oh. Thank you very much for your help.
Are these balls yours?
Then, you are comrades we've been looking for.
Comrades?
Yes.
Everything is happening as the story in Princess Fuse's picture scroll tells.
This is silly!
If we are connected by such a fate ...
Why are we enemies?
Enemies?
I lost the person I loved most because of that woman!
I even lost the will to live.
Everything is because of my destiny...
Because of my cursed birth...
I have always lived by myself.
No one loved me. I loved no one.
That’s it.
We are all loners now.
But isn't this destiny decided upon us if we like it or not . . .
.. in order for us to fight by Princess Shizu's side?
Please let me see those balls once more.
It hurts.
My face ... My face is losing shape...
Be strong!
To the castle!
Get back to the castle! Hurry!
Let's go!
Go! Withdraw! Withdraw!
Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
Go!
That was close.
Dosetsu.
I will go with you.
Princess.
Four more.
I'll go with you, believing that there are eight balls on earth.
You, too. Let’s go together.
Please go with us together.
Mother.
You've become even more beautiful than before.
Who are they?
Genjin worked on ...
... the women we captured.
Yes.
I thought it is dreary in the castle...
with just us and the warriors alone.
Everyone, raise your heads.
All right. They are all so beautiful.
But what did you do to them?
Genjin, what is that?
Their breath, sweat and blood...
They are all poison.
If these women have that much poison...
Why don’t they die?
That is the greatness of Genjin.
Beautiful women are said...
to be more powerful than any weapon.
Look out!
Princess!
You!
Princess!
I’ve beaten you all.
Who are you...
Me? I'm Shinbei.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Did you forget that I gave you food?
Ha! I didn't imagine that dirty boy was a princess.
Don’t touch me!
you ...
You're feisty for a princess.
Ouch! Damn you!
No!
I'll bite my tongue off and die if you touch me any more.
What?
I am a Satomi princess. I was taught ...
how to kill myself in my childhood!
If I take you to the castle ...
I will become a feudal lord.
Come!
Hey. You dared pull a trick on me.
Apologize.
If you apologize to me, I will forgive you.
Or, do you want ...
to fall from here and be drowned?
I said, apologize, bitch.
I'll jump...
What did you say!?
I'll never apologize to a person like you!
Dammit! Do you want to die, bitch!?
You're a stubborn woman...
Causing all this trouble...
What's the matter, old lady? What happened?
Why are these many people dead?
A massacre. Massacre.
Why?
Being suspected to have helped the Satomi princess .
Everyone...
was chopped to death.
This looks dangerous. Hey, come on.
Hey. What's the matter? Hey.
Dosetsu, the others and I ... We lodged in this village last night.
Everyone was kind. Everyone.
Old people and children, too...
This is bad. Hey. C'mon.
Hurry up.
Stop!
What's the matter, Genpachi? Be quiet.
I hear the voice of a child.
Deliver me to those men!
Be quiet.
That way, those children will be saved.
Shut up!
Deliver me! Quick!
Stop it!
Help them! Hurry! Save them!
Be quiet!
I don't care what happens to me! Save those children!
Stop it!
Stop it! Stop it!
What's the matter, Genpachi?
The children are getting away!
Shinbei!
Stop it! Get out of the way!
Okay! Genpachi!
What are you doing? Here we are!
Shinbei!
Are you hurt?
Ha! I won’t get killed by the likes of them.
Shinbei, undo my ropes.
I want to wash those two bodies clean.
I can't leave them as they are.
What is this stone?
This will calm down the souls of the dead.
Is that so?
I don't know anything.
You were raised as a princess.
Shinbei.
I will go to the castle now.
What?
I cannot...
have any more people die because of me.
I am Princess Shizu of the Satomi clan.
I will not run or hide anymore.
I will go to Motofuji's castle now.
I will make him stop these killings.
It is no good!
They are only thinking of...
the reward for capturing you.
They are the same as me.
Hey! Run!
This way.
Oh, they went into the cave.
They won't come out alive!
Fools!
They're not following us.
Nobody's following us. Why?
You're injured.
Does it hurt?
I didn't notice.
This water's clean.
When we get out of here, I will put some medicinal herbs on it.
Shinbei.
What is it?
Why did you help me get away?
I don't know.
What about you?
Why did you follow me?
I don't know.
Are those samurai warriors we saw...
Are they the ones who killed your father?
Who are you...
Are you from the village?
Why have you come into this cave?
Go back!
Go back to the village! Go back! Go back!
Shut up! Or I'll kill all of you!
Go back! Go back! Go back!
Damn it!
Wait!
You're Princess Shizu of the Satomi clan, aren't you?
Aren’t you Princess Shizu?
Yes, I am.
Please excuse our impoliteness. Please come this way.
Hey. Will it be all right?
He doesn't look a bad person.
Dosetsu.
Princess!
We're glad that you're safe.
How did you get here?
You!
This is Shinbei. He...
He brought me here.
Brought you here?
Who are these people?
This is Inuta Kobungo.
And this is Inuta Sosuke.
We also came to this cave lost, and were saved by these two.
Then...
They are also comrades we were searching for.
Do you live in this cave?
That's right. Nobody comes into this cave.
Those who enter the cave will not come back alive....
The villagers believe this.
Why?
When people see us living in this cave...
... they are surprised and attack us.
Somebody who looks weird must have a weird mind . . .
That is the way those village people think.
But nobody can defeat us in this cave.
Beyond this cave is Mt. Misumaru.
The shrine of Princess Fuse is apparently in the mountain.
From the statues of the Eight Doji in Mt. Misumaru . . .
A man scooped out the eight precious balls. I've heard.
From then, this world became dark.
We heard such a story from...
...an old person who lived and died in this cave.
These balls are the precious balls of the Eight Great Little Boys.
Each of us is ...
United by the power of the balls. But...
What is it?
Why are you all looking at me like that?
What's the hell is the power of these balls?
I also have two hanging balls...
Shut up!
Shinbei helped me!
But this man is not our comrade.
But ...
We will forgive your rudeness to the princess.
Get out of here now.
What did you say?
Dosetsu!
If you stay around us, I will kill you without mercy.
Please leave.
I don't think you're a bad person.
But we have something we have to achieve.
I have to say goodbye.
He's still following us.
We have to do something about it. I'll...
Okay. I'll have Shino go, too.
What’s the matter?
Nothing.
Where are Daikaku and Shino?
I don't know.
Dosetsu! Are you trying to... kill Shinbei?
Princess!
Did Princess Shizu tell you to kill me?
Tell me! Did that woman tell you to do this?
Princess!
Daikaku. Shino. What happened to Shinbei?
Did you kill Shinbei?
He fell off a cliff into the valley.
- Bring him. - Yes, sir.
Come on.
We brought him in, as you commanded.
Untie him.
Yes, madam.
Do you remember me?
What is your name?
Shinbei.
Look at this, Motofuji...
Did you have this mark from your birth?
Yeah.
Motofuji, show him yours too.
Shinbei. I am your mother who gave birth to you.
And this is your brother.
A hundred years ago, you were...
... burned to death with us at this castle by ancestors of Princess Shizu.
You were reborn into his body, still carrying my grudge.
That's an outrageous story.
That birthmark is proof.
The flame pattern is the symbol of my grudge ...
... for being burned to death with my two sons.
It's a lie.
I'm your son?
Are you saying I'm a kin of you demons?
You must be joking!
Don't tell me that!
Listen carefully, Shinbei.
Listen to the sound of the blood flowing in your body.
Your heart is beating...
... in the same rhythm as Mitama's heartbeat.
See? The same as the heartbeat of Motofuji and me.
If your heart beats fast, Mitama’s heart beats fast.
And so do mine and Motofuji’s hearts.
You've come to understand haven't you, Shinbei?
You will understand better if you walk around this castle.
You body must have all the memories of this castle...
You finally remember, don’t you, Shinbei?
When you were born, the sea was...
... a blood red, reflecting the red sky.
Your first cry cut across bravely through the roaring sea.
We are mother and child who share blood, Shinbei...
Shinbei!
Aah! Stop it, Shinbei!
Aah! Motofuji! How dare you!
Mother, the smell of this man's skin and blood ...
They do not smell as those of my brother.
But ...
Genjin.
Yes, sir.
Drain the blood from this man.
Peel off his skin, that smell like an animal.
And replace them with the soft skin of a woman.
Make him suitable as my brother.
Yes, sir.
Princess.
What’s the matter?
I thought I heard the sound of a flute.
Flute?
Yes. Didn't you hear it?
You must have imagined it.
Please rest, now.
Was Shizu thinking of Shinbei?
Shinbei was thinking of Shizu, too.
Cut it out.
There are eight Doji statues.
But we are only six.
Where are the two others?
Oh, it's you, Genpachi. What is it?
Hey, Genpachi...
What are you doing?
What are you going to do with that man?
Genpachi, you bastard!
Oh .... Genpachi, you fool.
It's too late now.
I heard the sound of a horse.
Who are you? Stop!
Genpachi Inukai.
I came here, guided by this ball.
Then, you are the seventh...
This man ...
Isn't this Shinbei?
What?
Do you know the brother of Motofuji Hikita?
Brother of Motofuji Hikita?
They call him so at the castle.
Why did you bring him?
I could not believe them anymore.
The flute this man played awakened my mind.
What are you doing, Dosetsu?
Princess.
Shinbei!
- Shinbei has come back, hasn't he? - Princess!
Princess!
Shinbei! Shinbei!
Princess!
Princess Shizu ...
You told them to kill me.
Shinbei!
You ordered them to kill me!
Shinbei!
Stop it, Shinbei!
Shinbei!
You!
Wait!
- Don’t touch him! - Princess!
Don’t touch him, anybody!
Shinbei. I was waiting for you.
All that I was thinking was that I wanted to see you.
Princess!
I want to talk with Shinbei.
Shinbei, please listen to me.
Please forgive me, Shinbei!
Die!
Princess!
He's alive.
I'm so glad.
Are you conscious, Shinbei?
Shinbei.
I am glad.
I'm glad to see you again.
What is this?
Is this mine?
Yes, it is yours.
"Jin"
What does Jin mean?
It's the heart to love people.
Heart ... to love people?
It's gone.
What is?
The evil mark that was here is gone now.
Shinbei.
Princess!
What’s the matter, Shinbei?
The princess...
What?
The princess...
The lights have come back to this dark world. The last fight is about to begin.
Shinbei. Genpachi...
Return your balls to these statues.
Now, we have all eight.
I'm glad you've come, eight Kenshi warriors.
You are the messengers of the lights.
Give this bow and arrow to Princess Shizu.
No one but Princess Shizu can draw this bow.
No one but the princess...
That's it.
And only this bow ...
... can destroy Motofuji’s castle.
Shinbei, you take this to her.
Why me?
You have to survive by all means...
And deliver this to Princess Shizu.
Beautiful.
Her skin is so young and smooth.
Now, our dreams will finally come true.
How stout-hearted ... As one might be expected of the princess of Satomi.
Be mad. Get angrier.
When you turn pale in anger, your skin becomes more beautiful.
Excuse me.
What’s the matter?
Please listen to me.
As I thought, they've come.
The eight Kenshi of Satomi.
From the sea...
Yes.
I was waiting for this.
Move out!
Yes, sir.
Go!
Well, I wonder how many will arrive...
Now...
Keno!
Please go! Quickly!
Forget about me! Go!
Keno!
Let’s go!
Welcome, Keno. I've been waiting for the day I can see you.
I've beeen waiting for this moment, too.
I'll cut you to death this time.
And I'll cut my destiny at the same time!
It won’t go as you wish.
You're a woman who was born for me.
I will hold you in my arms tonight.
Do not say that!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
A trap is waiting beyond this door.
What’s wrong with that?
So, I'll go first.
Why, Genpachi?
I've killed many people for pleasure.
Even children and women.
Please open the door.
Okay! Let’s do it!
Get back, Genpachi...
Genpachi! Genpachi...
Go! Quickly!
Kobungo!
Sosuke!
You!
Komongo!
Sosuke!
Komongo!
Sosuke.
Komongo.
Go! Go!
You impudent...
Keno. You are mine...
... eternally.
No one loved me.
I loved no one.
Hamaji!
You're alive, Hamaji!
You!
Shino!
Don't cut them! The blood of these women is poisonous!
Go onto the back, quickly!
We'll leave it to you, Shino! We will leave it to you!
Come to your senses, Hamaji!
Hamaji!
Hamaji...
I will not leave you anymore.
As you wished.
I will go anywhere with you.
Daikaku!
Daikaku, pull yourself together!
Quick. Quickly, the princess!
Shinbei!
Dosetsu! Shinbei!
Here we go, Shinbei.
Dosetsu!
Princess!
Out of my way!
You truly are great, Shinbei.
As I expected, you've come back to your mother.
Out of my way!
I am not your son!
Are you going to kill me?
Are you going to kill your mother...
who loves you so much?
Out of my way!
It's no good, Shinbei.
I will not die by some earthly blade.
We do not age or die ...
And can be reborn many times.
So, throw this thing away...
and embrace your mother.
Shinbei, what are you doing?
Shinbei...
Wait, mother.
Although he is my brother, he is a fool who cannot be saved after all.
Come, Shinbei.
Your brother will drop you into hell.
Princess!
Shinbei! How dare you!
Motofuji...
That's the one. Hit the evil statue!
Stop it, Shinbei! Do not let her!
Do it!
Jump.
Princess!
Shinbei!
Shinbei.
They're dead...
All seven of them ...
They're all dead...
Shinbei, we . . .
My duties are over.
Please go.
You now belong to someone else.
Are you Princess Shizu?
It's been a long time.
Do not hesitate to raise your head.
Oh, you have grown up fine.
Losing all of your family and retainers, and alone as a woman...
You have wonderfully survived.
I was not ...
alone.
What did you say?
Seven ...
who no longer exist in this world.
And one more ...
Yes. I've heard.
It is a pity that you have lost valuable people.
But you do not have to worry anymore. Isn't that right, Masaharu?
Yes. It's been long time since we saw each other.
When we were little, we played ball in the castle garden.
With blue sea and green mountains...
The castle was beautiful.
As early as tomorrow, we will select carpenters . . .
and have them go to Tateyama.
We will build a new castle...
even more beautiful than before.
Princess Shizu. What's the matter?
Yes, sir.
What is the matter. Princess?
Shinbei!
Princess.
Shinbei, I won't go back to the castle.
What!?
I'll go anywhere with you.
I'll live anywhere.
But, you are...
Shinbei, why are you hesitating?
Go, Shinbei!
Go with the princess!
Don't be surprised. Go without hesitation!
You two, go with your hands held together.
Go anywhere you want!
That's right. Go, Shinbei!
Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go!
Go, heading for your ideal land!
We will never die.
We will live forever with Princess and Shinbei.
Shinbei!
