Blade of the Immortal (2008) s01e06 Episode Script
Cries of the Bugs
I'll never be easily loved Am I just too clumsy? That girl who looks good in pink Is that who you want? Is red not good enough? The rabbit with red eyes runs away.
Even though I loved you so much If I'm sad, I'm going to die.
The rabbit that you like isn't on the moon.
It's just a rabbit I'm not a bug.
Cry of the Worm I said I was quitting the Itto-ryu, and now look at me.
Did you tell Kage already? Yeah.
Tai.
What'll you do after your wound heals? Let's see If I'm going to fight samurai without relying on the Itto-ryu I guess I'll murder them in the streets of Banchou.
Hey, why don't I plow into a daimyo's group with just a wakizashi? That's amazing.
So cool.
You're kidding, right? I'm kidding.
Oren, there's a visitor for Sir Magatsu.
Who would that be? Manji.
I'm thinking of going on a little trip today.
Do whatever you want.
What's wrong? Hey.
No.
I didn't say anything yet.
I already knew what you'd say.
Alcohol, right? There's lodging then meals, and also money for maps and riding river ferries.
It all really adds up.
It won't kill you to cut back on everything else.
No, but then I might as well be dead.
I said no, so no.
The weather's sure nice.
But it's a little hot.
Days like this are perfect for eating kuzukiri but instead I'm out here on the street looking for my own hot and cold encounter with an attractive young lady.
But then hoping for that is like tilting at windmills.
I should have chilled sake when I get there What was that for, asshole? You have the nerve to be spiteful when you're caught whoring behind your husband's back? Don't make me laugh, you underpaid dimwit.
If we're comparing you two as men, he's way better than you! While I'm at it, yours is like a little rhubarb, and his is like a giant radish.
What did you say? Come on, say it one more time! The heat just went away.
She's not that young, but she's good looking.
And wow, talk about spirit.
Who the hell are you, anyway? She's my wife! Only a miscreant would humiliate a woman in the middle of the street.
Honey! Hey, what's the big idea? Sorry about that.
He's your husband, huh? Your beauty moved me so.
I couldn't stop myself from acting.
I'm impressed.
A tough samurai isn't exactly a rare sight but it's a different story when they're unarmed.
That's quite an arm you've got, sir.
All the better to be held with, perhaps? You're referring to that argument? I don't mean to take the moral high ground, but we've only just met I thought so.
I like women, but I don't like coercion.
I was half kidding too.
Let's just laugh and leave it at that.
I'll be leaving now.
Hold on! Wow How lovely.
Well, it'll keep us cool at least.
Yeah.
I said I'd treat you but other than sake, I don't have much to offer.
Hey, this is plenty.
My favorite dish is soybean pulp dressed with mustard.
I have some soybean pulp.
And It's rhubarb.
It's his favorite.
Say what you will, but you still adore your husband.
Yeah He's ordinary and no good at his job.
What's the matter? Back in the day, a friend of mine was poisoned at a dinner gathering.
Since then I've become really cowardly about meals.
So I should taste it? I truly apologize.
Feel better now? It's not very strong though.
This must be poison.
It's too good.
My fingers Oh? Are you drunk already? If poison of that caliber is enough to finish you I guess your stomach isn't as tough as your fists.
I knew it Wait, why is it just me? You ate the same food I did and drank the same sake.
Itto-ryu deputy leader, Fusano Kenei.
A former low-ranking cop who went broke and deserted.
After that, you changed your name and joined the Itto-ryu.
Officious and fond of women.
Well? Was that accurate? Who did you get that from? Don't tell me there's a traitor! I'm asking the questions.
It's none of your business how I found out.
In any case, you don't have much longer to live.
Also, thanks for eating plenty of my cooking.
I was more worried about that than my acting.
That poison isn't so strong it'll kill you.
But you're suffering, so I'll end your misery as thanks for today.
Right here so it won't hurt.
I just made the biggest mistake of my life.
I've often said that all is vanity But down on my luck or not, I'm still the Itto-ryu's second-in-command.
Even though I'm poisoned I can't face my comrades if I let a bitch get the best of me! B-But I blocked it with my sword! You should have dodged it instead.
Idiot.
Women can kill too, when the time comes.
I'm sorry.
I borrowed the kimono, geta, and the stove but I'll be sure to call someone over, so no hard feelings? Sorry for causing a ruckus Itto-ryu swordsman, Morozumi Chougo.
How do you know my name? I have a question.
How many are there in the Itto-ryu who could be called instructors? Say what? If you don't talk, I'll kill you.
If you do, I'll tell you what I'm after.
It's up to you to believe me or not.
T-The Itto-ryu has no acting instructors.
But there are about 30 I know of with sword skills just below our leader's.
30, huh? You're sure about that? That's all of them in Edo.
Hurry and take this off! Is that so.
Sorry.
Shinriji, you're looking nicer now.
Oh, yeah? Hey, Hyaku, what about where I hit you? It barely hurt Hey, are you okay? Before I served him poison, I drank about half a liter of sesame oil.
It was quite an adventure.
Amazing! You're risking your life, as usual! What's with the "as usual"? But I bet even an idiot like you learned something from today's job.
Yes! I feel fulfilled just getting to play the role of your husband! You can go home now.
Why? Morozumi Chougo They say: To boil beans, use their own husks to make the fire.
Infinity.
Infinity.
Hey, Manji.
Let's stop here.
How long has it been since lunch? Not very long, I guess.
Edo Suzume, Revised Edition Edo Suzume, Revised Edition Hey, Rin You're the one who said it won't kill us to cut down on costs other than maps, lodging, meals, and ferry fees.
You're right.
Sorry.
Warabimochi and barley tea.
Also, where's the restroom? You'll see it inside the back door.
I figured as much.
Number two or number one? Or maybe You expect me to answer that? You're blocking the light, you know.
Either sit down or leave.
You were looking at something interesting.
It's just a cut-out map.
There were marks here and there.
Every one was a dojo that was forced into submission by a certain school these past few years.
Huh, you know a lot about this.
Monks should be detached from worldly matters.
That's not all.
I also know about the man you both seek.
You've done all this traveling, and you still don't know where to find that man, Anotsu Kagehisa? How do you know about that? Uji tea.
Okay, that's Uji tea.
Here's the barley tea and warabimochi.
Sure, yeah Also, some sakuramochi.
We're out of that, but we do have kashiwamochi.
That's fine.
Thanks, sorry about that.
So back to our conversation.
You said just before, "the man you both seek.
" How'd you know I wasn't alone? I'm an Itto-ryu swordsman.
Name's Shizuma Eiku.
As you can see, I'm not wearing a sword.
I knew from the start you weren't a monk.
You smell too strongly of blood.
I've killed 128 so far.
This is only my assumption, but you must be in a different league.
So what's an Itto-ryu samurai doing here without a sword? To kill Anotsu.
Did you hear about me from that Magatsu guy? That's right.
He was praising your swordsmanship and also your immortal body.
Anotsu Kagehisa, leader of the Itto-ryu He's definitely considered a genius but as long as he is human, he cannot avoid the fate of death.
He might not even live to see his ambition fulfilled.
Don't you think a true leader is one with both the technique and flesh to know he's certain to fulfill his dream? So your plan is to pair up with me and take over the Itto-ryu, huh? If either of us are alone, we won't be able to beat Anotsu.
But if we're together I'll let you live today.
Get lost.
That's your answer? Manji, are you okay? You're usually supposed to hold trays.
What's with this guy? He knew my body's immortal, but he came at me with just a dagger This man I know him.
You got your revenge again.
That's one less thing on your hands.
L-Look I thought you'd be more understanding.
Is it the Kessenchu? Was it the old woman? I'm asking if this was Yaobikuni's doing! I don't know her name.
She was an old Buddhist nun.
Does that mean that old lady is helping the Itto-ryu? No, that's not true.
She put the Kessenchu inside me Iong before I had any connection with the Itto-ryu.
It was about two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years? I've watched the era change with my own eyes.
I've had five women as wives and had more friends than that but they all died before me.
Death is ruthless.
But not being able to die is cruel too.
However, it doesn't mean there isn't a way.
Nothing in this world is immortal.
That includes us.
You will learn this tonight.
What are you talking about? Manji, your wound That's weird.
The worms aren't coming out.
Manji! Go somewhere else! Why? Why did this happen? It's poison! Poison? Most likely on his dagger Nice job You got me, Shizuma Eiku.
This may be it Rin Even if I die, don't you set out alone.
Hurry and find another Stop! I don't want to hear those things! Manji! Manji! Manji! Hang on! You can't die! Don't die! Sadly, I awakened Overflowing reality is just more of the empty lies.
To be honest, I have to get ready for the next one.
The morning slides in from the window.
Regardless of what I see, I remember.
I remember The unchanging wind always just said this as it passed by "What's needed for this endless journey?" Where should I go? Infinite Preview Styx
Even though I loved you so much If I'm sad, I'm going to die.
The rabbit that you like isn't on the moon.
It's just a rabbit I'm not a bug.
