They've increased in number
Five from the west Five from the south
Who the hell are these persistent guys?
We're assassins who've killed many people
It's obvious that we're marked
That's true
Let's go!
They're coming...
You're rats caught in our fangs
Prepare yourselves
Kill them!
Huh...!?
I'm sure I sliced him
- Let's fall back for now! - Don't lose them!
These guys are wearing steel armor
Is that Kanbei?
I'll get revenge for Lord Kato
Shoot them!
- Damn! - They jumped off
We lost them
They couldn't be unharmed from this height
You still don't know them well
Azumi
Let go of my hand!
Everyone died...
Now it's just the two of us left
We have to kill Sanada and complete the mission
You can't die a meaningless death in a place like this
I'm going
Azumi 2
Death or Love
Kanbei, why have you come such a long way?
Lord Kato whom I served...
...fell victim to assassins
Their last target is you, Sir
The only one who may wield the power of the Toyotomi...
...is you, Sir
I traveled this far...
...to ask what you intend to do
- My intentions... - Yes, Sir
You want to know my intentions?
When Kato fell right before your eyes...
...what the hell did you do?
This pain...
...is Kato's price
It is my suffering as well
Endure the suffering
Then you will naturally know my intentions
If you do not...
...explain your intentions to this lowly servant...
How could he fathom the deeper meaning?
I was driven out by the Tokugawa
For 10 years since the attack at Kudo mountain...
...I have never lost in a battle against the Tokugawa!
But... the war between the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi...
...is not over
The Toyotomi's defeat is imminent
Wasn't it you who said...
...that in a war with no chance for victory...
...you couldn't let your followers die, Father?
Even my son doubts my strength
You are deluded by something, Father
The Uenokogashu's ninja, Kunio
The girl called the demon of war
Young Master Yukimura is unsatisfied with us
I just don't want a hopeless war
What are your personal reasons for assisting Father?
Watch your words, Yukimura!
Kunio You're really something
If those are truly your intentions...
...then I will go right now to Osaka...
...and consult the opinion of the Toyotomi
Well then
Nagara, are you all right?
Ouch!
Get a hold of yourself
This is where Master waited for secret messengers
If we wait, someone will come for sure
Good job, Azumi!
Azumi
Azumi
Nachi
Nachi, watch
You're doing well You've really become strong
Azumi
There's something I really wanted to say
I really like you
The mission ahead of you...
...will be infinitely brutal
You must harden yourself with a steel resolve
That is the path of an assassin
The partner you are matched with...
Azumi
Kill him!
I want to complete the mission
Nachi
Azumi
This is our destiny
Nachi...
No!
What's the matter?
I'm hungry I'll go get something to eat
You're invulnerable
- Azumi - Yeah?
Thanks
Please give me something to eat
- OK, here you go - Thank you
Your change
Nobody move!
D~don't misunderstand
We're noble robbers who help others
We work for the sake of the world
If you want to do something good, you have to be alive first
So let's all get along and share
We need your help
Give us all your money
Don't hesitate Hurry up and fork it over
Give it up
You too
I don't have any money to give to a bandit the likes of you
Then why don't you leave your sword
You won't have another occasion to use it anyway
You insolent fool
Put out your worries and just hand over your money
Hurry up and fork it over
- Where are you going? - Please move aside
It's a girl with a lot of guts
She's cute
Such a pretty face
- Ginkaku - Yeah?
What are you doing?
Ginkaku, take a look...
Nachi?!
What do you think? Pretty, right? Let's take her with us
You agreed to work for the sake of the world
If we had a girl...
...she couldn't become one of us
W~well, how about an assistant?
- Hey hey hey - Stop it
Son of a ***, the effect of your blood was awesome!
Fooled them all in an instant
Man, you really looked like a warrior
K~Ginkaku
Why did you drive away a hot girl like that?
- That girl is strong - What?
Clumsy awkward guys like us would take the fall
- R~really? - Yeah
Azumi, stop! They're on our side
I am Hanjo of Iga
We came because Lord Tenkai sent us
I heard many rumors about you
They were incredible
Asano Nagamasa Kato Kiyamasa
Thanks to you killing those two...
We were able to avoid a blameless war
You fulfilled your mission successfully
That is sufficient
There is still one man left
Sanada Masayuki
We are too inadequate to take Sanada down
Pardon?
He has hired a killer ninja squad
They're called the Uenokogashu
They're a gruesome bunch that don't belong to any ninja school...
...who make assassination their business
We may even have to mobilize the army
We're here so that we can avoid a war
We will deal with Sanada Masayuki
As our master commanded, we will complete the mission
We will finish it for sure for the sake of our fallen comrades
You will not come back alive
Master commanded us to kill our own comrades
For the sake of making me a cool-headed assassin...
I killed my partner who was like a brother to me with my own hand
I don't have any expectations of coming back alive
Fine
Complete the mission
I want to go too
Allow me to guide you through the lay of Kudo mountain
Hanjo sent spies to Kudo mountain
They're watching Sanada's every move
The movements of Tenkai who regulates the Tokugawa...
...from behind the scenes are suspicious
The pigeons are crying out
The assassins of the Tokugawa...
...came to cut the head off this old man
You smell like blood
Isn't it your favorite scent?
When I was young...
...this was my happiest moment
And now?
With this old body...
...what craving could be left...
...except to verify that I...
...still have the strength to live
The day those who make attempts at your life...
...fall into the hands of our ninjas...
We've come to a major road
Gozue is really excited
Let's go What are you doing?
What's the matter?
I met a guy who looked just like Nachi
Nachi?
He's a bandit who goes by the name Ginkaku
Hey! You want a fight?
What did you say?
- Sorry! - You ***
How pathetic, running away
If we catch you one more time you're dead
You have all gathered below the banner of General Sanada
You're a sad lonely lot...
...who don't have homes...
...or family to lean on
But there's no need to worry
Starting today, you are servants of General Sanada
Hold up the banner of General Sanada and follow him
You will kill the assassins who seek the life...
...of our ever vigilant Lord and fight the Tokugawa
If you do that, then the Lord Sanada Masayuki...
...will grant you a reward
Wow~!
Those who want to become a soldier for General Sanada...
...come to this side
Yeah!
- K~Ginkaku - Ginkaku
Pick out the skilled ones
Yes, Sir!
What do you think those assassins are like?
You're really going to become a soldier for Sanada?
I took the money
All we have to do is kill the assassins, right?
I don't like slicing people with swords
Ginkaku will take care of it, right?
Who's the guy who went on about how he killed 100 people?
When did I?
If you don't want to then we can just run away
B~but you know, that girl from before...
If I keep thinking about her as I look at the stars...
I'll meet her again, right?
- Hey man - What?
Want to meet her? I'm talking about that girl
You're the one who really wants to meet her, right?
Me?
Maybe it's because of the war but the atmosphere is really dreary
- Ginkaku - Nachi?!
Are they the assassins who are trying to claim Sanada's life?
There's no mistake
What should we do?
Hold on a moment
Don't get in the way Attack!
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear me tell you to wait?
I changed my mind These guys are the enemy
Huh?
All right! Do as your told
Kill them!
Traitor!
You can't trust anything in this world
Run
Are you a demon?
You ***...
Hey everybody, Big Brother's back!
Ginkaku
Have you all been well?
These are children who lost their parents because of the war
I brought them here
You've grown a lot
This guy's gotten fat
Don't cry Come over here
You're good right? Don't cry
Want to play with Big Brother? Let's play
- Saburo - Yeah?
- How about elder brother? - He died
Ginkaku, who's this?
These are my friends
These gentle people are your friends?
They may look like that but they're assassins
They kill people without even blinking
Is that true?
With a pretty face like this, you commit ***?
We kill the people who start the war
The war won't go away
As long as people are here, it will continue
The people who get used as tools...
...are the most foolish
Are you saying that to us?
Nagara
Be patient
You heard him just now
This *** didn't just insult us...
...he insulted our fallen comrades as well
I'm sorry if I was disagreeable
Ginkaku
Give me the money you raised
You didn't do anything bad, right?
Chiyo, there's no good or bad with money
If a good person spends it, then it's good money
- Grandma Yone - What?
Look at this There's so much
You were up to no good again You won't die in peace
If you are healthy and eat well...
...and if the children grow up well, that's enough for me
Chiyo, leave him be He'll sleep when he gets worn out
Chiyo, I'll help
That's fine
Please just sleep and leave quickly
Did we do something wrong?
Assassins who kill people are abominable
What's the use of cultivating love and devotion?
It's obvious that we'll just fall victim to people like you
We want to get rid of the war
So there won't be children with no parents
You chat well for a murderer
What about the children of the people you killed?
That's...
Gozue, get up
Azumi, let's go
We live in a different world than these people
Nagara
The enemy is at their base
We're finally moving out
If Lord Sanada attacks Tenkai...
...then the feudal lords siding with the Toyotomi will be furious
If we get wrapped up in a violent battle again...
War would probably break out again
While Young Master Yukimura is gone...
...this is the time to make our move
The Black Spider is getting amused
The Black Spider will be the opponent...
...of the assassins aiming for the Lord's life
You are strong
One of their spies is on our side
Don't leave out a single person Annhilate everyone
Show them clearly the strength of the Uenokogashu
It's Sanada's soldiers
Who are they?
It must be a war
Let's go
Can I ask one question?
Yeah?
What's the secret to dodging arrows?
What?
Both of you have never been hit by an arrow
Let the master of running teach you something
Take an arrow and stand here
One two three... Eight up to here
In my experience, it's eight steps
If you have this much distance, you can dodge them
Azumi only needs six
All right, try shooting me
From here? Shoot for real?
Don't worry Just shoot me
Wow! You're amazing
Arrows are surprisingly slow
If the distance is enough, you can dodge them
- Let's go - Sure
There's none left
What you see over there is Kudo mountain
That's where Sanada Masayuki is
We've arrived at our destination
Nagara... You like Azumi, right?
What?!
Has anything happened while the two of you have always been together?
Azumi is just like a little sister to me
You really don't have any feelings for her?
Well, I like her
Our fallen comrades liked Azumi too
That's why I'm going to protect her in their stead
It looks like she likes that Ginkaku guy
Azumi's true intentions are probably...
...to disappear to somewhere far away with Ginkaku
It can't be
You saw it too, haven't you?
Actually, that guy...
...looks exactly like Nachi who died
That Nachi guy...
Did Azumi like him?
Let's send Azumi to Ginkaku
To us, the mission...
If you really want to protect Azumi...
...then let her get away from a dangerous mission
Let's kill Sanada ourselves
Ginkaku
Sanada left Kudo mountain
What?
Now Kudo mountain is just an empty shell
Scrap
I'll have to verify with my own eyes
Trust us
Is the mission that important?
You stay out of this
Did someone say they'd recognize you for risking your life to fight?
That's right
In any case, the war won't go away
That's right!
More than that...
...why don't we think about a way to live happily?
Just like Chiyo
What do you think about living with the children?
Let's do that, Azumi
I want to do that but...
I can't
- Why? Why can't you? - Wait
Come on everyone, persuade her
Azumi, hold on!
Azumi!
There's no reason you can't
Follow Ginkaku
Why are you even doing this?
Mission? Don't make me laugh
Gozue and I are going on a vacation
Listen up, I'm sick of following the mission
I've endured it up to now but I finally understand
In a vain ideal, we lost our comrades
I felt the attacks of our enemies as we stood before them
There wasn't a single day when my mind was at ease
Do you really mean that?
Of course I mean it
You should live happily with Ginkaku too
Forget about completing the mission
Nagara, get a grip Why are you doing this?
You get a grip!
I'm finished living for the sake of the mission
We're leaving
Take care
Please, I'm begging you Don't do this
Ginkaku, take care of Azumi
And don't show up in front of me again
Nagara, wait!
He's right
Look at us
Though we don't have anything...
...we live with freedom and happiness
- Isn't that true? - Yup
I...
I'm different from you guys
Everything I've seen, touched, and perceived
So don't interfere
We're not interfering!
- Right? - That's right
- Right? - That's right
- Right? - That's right
D~don't go
What are you doing not trying to stop her?
Don't go, Azumi!
Live with us
It's for the best
If it's Ginkaku, you can relax
Azumi will be happy now too
If Ginkaku's words are right...
...then Sanada has already left Kudo mountain
After Azumi and the rest...
...have gone away...
...let's take this chance and hit Sanada
Sure Let's chase Sanada
I know all the roads
- Is this the right way? - There's no mistaking it
We've been going in circles
If we go a little more, there'll be a major road
Then let's hurry
Nagara
What the hell is this?
Did you say to shoot within eight steps?
You taught me
Gozue, you...
We're on the same side
I'm the spy the Uenokogashu sent
I trained under ninja ever since I was young
I built up trust...
...and waited only for a day like this
Burying Tenkai's gang...
...is my first priority mission
Mission?
Don't be careless and try to pretend
Dammit! This can't be happening
Azumi
Let Azumi...
...live
Azumi~!
Of all times, why do people come to interfere now?
Next time, I will definitely cut your throat
I told you that Sanada isn't here
He already left with his soldiers
It can't be
He isn't intending to attack Lord Tenkai, is he?
Their target is you, Lord Tenkai
Are you saying that Sanada has left Kudo mountain?
We have received word
We do not have a moment to lose
If we flee from here...
...we have to abandon Azumi's party
We don't have time to take care of our assassins
I must protect you, Lord Tenkai
- You're telling me to throw them away - Lord Tenkai
Azumi is...
It can't be helped
I'll do what you say
I was right, wasn't I?
Sanada's henchmen are spread out everywhere
There's a temple beyond that mountain over there
We're completely trapped in
It'll be hell from here on
Hurry and go back you guys
A~are you worrying about us right now?
We've already come this far so let's go to the end
I like it! Guys...
Let's go crazy for once
Kill anyone who comes close
The blood's gonna break out
Let's have a helluva fight
Your mouths are lively so you can talk a lot
I had a friend who was a lot like you
Was that guy also an assassin?
Yeah He was a guy named Nachi
Nachi...
There are many people who look similar
So what happened to him?
He died
I... killed him
- What? - Let's go
The ranks to the west are in position
The ranks to the east are in position
We have blockaded the road to their base
Tenkai is a cornered rat
They have no holes to run away
Instead of wasting precious soldiers...
...allow us handle this
You must not lose him
Yes, Sir!
Stop
You're one step behind
Uenokogashu!
Scatter!
Lord Tenkai, please escape
This way
Sir Hanjo!
Take care
Azumi!
Itkaku!
You ***!
Boss!
Die!
Kijimaru!
Move aside
Everyone is dead
Ginkaku
Thanks for looking out for this dim-witted big brother
Don't say that
Azumi...
I feel good
K~Ginkaku
Bro!
Open your eyes
Boss~!
- Mistress Kunio - Why are you coming now?
We lost them
What?! What happened?
They're not average assassins
Rokpa also has fallen
Rokpa was beaten?
The Matchless Rokpa?
I can't believe it
We must bring them into the spider web
Are you saying we should lure them?
If they get caught in a web loaded with poison
Their bodies will become paralyzed and they won't budge
The slightest mistake and you'll be in the same situation
Mistress Kunio, please throw the bait
These are the only soldiers who survived
This is too horrible
They all died trying to protect you
You know that?!
- Ginkaku - It's OK
You're right
Gozue
Where's Nagara?
While fighting enemies to protect me...
...we got split up
He'll be all right
He was the most agile of all of us
Surely...
- Why are you looking at me like that? - I just...
It's nothing
There is a shortcut to the Tokugawa temple grounds
I'll guide you
Lord Tenkai, please wait here for a moment
Mission... The mission...
It was a mistake! We're surrounded by enemies
What did you say?
You ***!
Gozue
Nagara...
Where's Nagara?
The mission...
I asked you Where's Nagara?
I killed him
What did you say?
To the end, he only pleaded that I let you live
Of course that's a promise I can't keep
Lies
I couldn't should you from here, could I?
Gozue
Tell me that's a lie
That's...
...the mission I was given
Nagara is dead
To think he'd fall to someone like you
Don't follow me!
I'll deal with Sanada
Are you Azumi?
I sent Gozue to hell already
What?
I also lost my only companion
I'll tear you to shreds!
I'll repay you...
...for the words you just spoke
Gotcha
Has the poison spread?
You... How dare you...
Rokpa and Gozue weren't enough So even the Black Spider?
You've dried up the seeds of the Uenokogashu
You insolent ***!
What a man is... What life is...
Even what the world is... You're an inexperienced girl who knows none of these
I can't forgive you
Has the poison spread?
This is the end
Drop into hell for me
Prepare yourself!
General... Lord Sanada...
Azumi
Are you all right?
Azumi
Get a hold of yourself
Azumi
Is the mission that important?
I'm going to complete the mission
There are many people who look similar
Isn't that true?
Nachi
The mission...
Nachi
Nachi
I...
- You know who I am, don't you? - Nachi...
Nachi
It's OK
The poison only spread a little
You have to live
Azumi...
You can't die
- Kunio - General
Mistress Kunio!
General
I couldn't kill the assassin
What do you mean?
How did you get these wounds?
Your dreams of war...
...cannot end here
Everything was for your sake
I only wanted to see you smile
General
Kunio Kunio!
Ginkaku?
Ginkaku
Wake up Ginkaku!
Why did you...
Instead of me...
Why did you die in place of me?
Why dammit, why?!
The people I love around me...
Why do they all die?
Listen up
This is an all out attack on Tenkai
Move out!
And the prey comes walking up to our feet
Get her!
Prepare to fire!
Call off the attack
General!
You must not!
Get out of my way
To think such a young girl is an assassin
What reason do you have for seeking my life
It is to get rid of the war
Nonsense!
Yukimura
Father!
Gather up the troops
Not only the Toyotomi...
...but now no one is on our side
This is not your place to interfere!
Go back to Kudo mountain
There is no hope in taking action like this
These are all the consequences of my actions
You be quiet
Priest Tenkai
General Sanada
Do you intend to face all of these soldiers
My defeat is imminent anyway
If we are to die here...
...the Tokugawa will not sit tight
If I let you live the result will be the same
It is time to make a decisive decision
That despicable girl...
...took away what I treasured most
Leave that young assassin and go
Then I, Sanada Masayuki, will return to Kudo mountain
I will not resist the Tokugawa again
H~hold on
You want us to leave Azumi? No way
No way...
I am an assassin
I am always prepared to die
All of my comrades...
...died feeling the same
If you believe a world of peace will come...
Even if we were just used...
Even if that's the case...
Today will be the end of everything
If I eliminate Sanada
You will be hated
I willingly comply
- General - Stop!
- No one interfere - Father
Even if you don't interfere this is enough
I brought this all upon myself
I will get revenge for Kunio
Prepare yourself
Father~!
Don't shoot Lower your guns
Stand back
You ***...
Kanbei Sheathe your sword
She killed every one of our most skilled warriors
And she cut the sprouts of the Toyotomi
This was my father's last wish
I want to protect what little honor remains
Nobody interfere
I must get revenge for Lord Kato
How could I not know your rage?
However, the promise of a warrior...
...must be kept even at the risk of life
Do you think the war has really ended?
The mission is over
Our affiliation is only up to here as well
Where are you saying you must go now?
Facing what...
