Be true of heart.
Do not deceive me.
Break that trust,
and I will leave thee.
(CRACKLING)
At last the shrine is safe.
Not yet, brother. Not until our niece comes out of the temple.
(CROWD CHEERS)
(WHISTLES)
Way to go, sis.
Hey! Get with it, Uncle Tadashi.
The fireworks, remember?
Oh, right. Thanks, Toshio.
Wow! That Taki Tamura sure has blossomed into a beauty.
You better not let your grandmother hear you say that, Yoshi.
I know. It's too bad she's a Tamura and I'm an Ishida.
Oh, well.
TAKI: People of my village. On this great day of the shrine's return,
my humble family reaffirms our pledge
to faithfully guard the shrine with our lives.
Well, Mr. Miyagi, I guess the quest is finally over.
Miyagi sure hope so, Daniel -san.
AUNT YOKO: Taki wrote me all about you in her letters, Mr. Miyagi.
She says you work miracles.
Taki -san very good writer.
Especially fairy tales.
(LAUGHS)
You're so charming!
(MOTORCYCLE ENGINES ROAR)
Ishida! Ishida!
Hey, what's going on?
The same thing that has been going on for 100 years!
Stop that, you little grubs! Those are my best planters!
Forget your silly planters, brother,
and do something to stop them!
You silly old peasants.
(CRIES OUT)
You stop that, you big goon, before I
Before you what?
KATSU: Take a flying leap?
(ISHIDA LAUGHING)
SHIRO: You will bow on your knees before your samurai masters.
Now admit the Ishida family is superior,
and you are just a lowly peasant.
Never!
True samurai no need to make someone small to feel tall.
We'll teach you to interfere with Ishida!
Hi-yah!
SHIRO: Let go! I can't steer!
Hi-yah!
Ah!
Wow! That was some karate move, Daniel.
Just like Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris? Nah. Well, maybe
So what's the story with those hot rod samurais we just tangled with?
They are of the Ishida family,
descendents of the great samurais.
Those barbarians have been our enemies as long as we can remember.
Maybe this good time to forget.
I cannot forget, Mr. Miyagi!
My family has been the guardians of the shrine for a thousand years,
ever since it first appeared and helped my village.
And we vowed never to reveal its secret.
Until one day my great-great-great- great-grandfather
chose to use the shrine to help his best friend.
TAKI: That man was an Ishida,
a great samurai warrior.
Because samurai were forbidden to teach peasants how to use the sword,
the great samurai taught my ancestor in secret.
But he was very ill.
(COUGHS)
And since the samurai had trusted my ancestor with the secret of the sword,
he decided to trust the samurai with the secret of the shrine.
Be true of heart.
Do not deceive me.
Break that trust,
and I will leave thee.
(CRACKLING)
The shrine made the samurai well again.
Wow, what a story!
That's the way real friends should be.
Should be, yes.
But not long after the great samurai betrayed my ancestor
and stole the shrine.
But your family has it now.
Yes. Because our brave ancestor rallied the peasants against the samurai.
And ever since the two families have been feuding?
Yes, Daniel.
But we would not be if the Ishida family had not betrayed us.
Great Grandfather,
now that the shrine has returned
I will find a way to get it back
and avenge your defeat.
I see my cousins were feuding with Tamura again.
Just because they are our enemies, does that
Silence!
I see you have been playing that ridiculous game of baseball.
Oh, that. Well
Well, I was trying to one-hand this line drive and
We will discuss your future later.
Right now you can do honor to you family by helping to get the shrine back.
YOSHI: Be true of heart.
Do not deceive me.
What is this poem, Grandmother?
It is half a poem.
The other half is missing.
When it is said,
you can release the shrine from the temple.
You will get to know this Taki
and learn from her the rest of the poem.
But, Grandmother
It is your duty!
(GASP)
Ishida!
Got you, you trespasser!
So you thought you could sneak up on me with your sword, samurai.
Oh, you mean this? I'm not a samurai, I'm a shortstop.
I only study the ancient art of the samurai to apply it to baseball.
Do you always play baseball in your enemy's backyard?
How can we be enemies? We've never even met.
If I had my way, I'd end this dumb feud right now.
Besides, who could fight against such a pretty opponent?
(STAMMERS)
I have to go put up more decorations for the celebration tonight.
Uh, uh, and I have to go run the bases.
Wait. Since you are so interested in ending the feud,
come to the celebration tonight.
Okay. I'll be there.
(WHISTLING)
Yoshi! Where are you going?
To see Taki.
Her family is having a celebration for the return of the shrine and she invited me.
Excellent.
Then you are making progress with the girl and will soon learn the secret poem.
No! I like her.
I won't ruin our friendship over a stupid old relic.
Yoshi!
I will avenge my ancestor.
I will get the shrine!
You two are going to a party tonight.
But, Aunt, I already have a date.
You will have another! Her name is Taki.
(LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
All right! Rock and roll! Way to go!
Huh?
Plenty time later to find way to go.
Take off your mask, Yoshi. I want my family to meet you
and see that not all Ishida are monsters.
YOSHI: I don't know about this, Taki.
Aunt Yoko, this is my friend, Yoshi Ishida.
Ishida?
Karate chop him, Daniel! He's come to crash our party.
Hush, Toshio! Yoshi is a friend.
He hates the feud as much as we do.
Isn't that right?
Yes. It is time to forget the past.
TAKI: Yoshi has given up the sword and taken up baseball.
Baseball, all right!
Teach me to swing like Reggie Jackson.
I'll be back. Promise you'll dance only with me.
I promise.
And a Tamura always keeps their word.
Let's see how long this peasant girl keeps her promise, cousin.
Dance with me, sugarplum?
Hold your bat up higher, like this.
Psst. Yoshi.
Shiro! Go home. The feud is over.
Our families must learn to trust each other.
Tell that to your peasant girlfriend.
She's a flirt who laughs behind your back that she can make a fool out of an Ishida.
Let go of me!
YOSHI: So this is how you keep your promise.
No. Yoshi! You don't understand.
I understand that you are a liar.
And you are acting foolish, Yoshi.
You've ruined everything!
You made a promise and broke it.
Were you only pretending to like me?
I never said I liked you.
Be true of heart and don't deceive me.
Break that trust,
and I will leave thee!
Oh, no! What did I say?
The shrine!
Taki, wait! Where are you going?
Hurry, Daniel -san. I fear for Taki -san and the shrine.
We must hurry.
You have done well, my grandson.
Taki's betrayal destroyed all chance of peace between our two families.
Forget the peasant girl.
They do not know the meaning of honor.
TAKI: It is you who have no honor, Madame Ishida.
Obviously, you planned to trick me all along.
We found her outside spying, Aunt.
No! I speak the truth! The shrine is ours!
(TAKI GRUNTS)
MADAME ISHIDA: The shrine belongs to the House of Ishida!
The shrine! Taki's inside.
We have to get her out.
No, Daniel -san.
No enter house. Power too strong.
Can only wait.
Samurai,
protect the shrine, I command you!
I follow your command, Grandmother.
Leave this honorable house while you still can, lowly peasant.
I take my leave. But I will return.
(WHINNIES)
Hurry, Daniel -san.
Taki -san under power of shrine.
TAKI: Now there is only one way to get back the shrine.
The way of my ancestor.
The way of the sword.
Taki?
What are you doing in that get-up?
I am going to get back the shrine.
That's nuts, Taki!
Taki -san, no fight.
Try talk to Yoshi.
Don't make same mistake as ancestor.
I do not talk to betrayers.
I'm going after her.
No, Daniel -san.
House of Ishida under power of shrine.
All who enter relive past.
Including Taki.
DANIEL: What are we gonna do?
Miyagi train Taki's family.
To fight?
Not my choice, Taki choice.
Miyagi only prepare family in case have to fight.
TAKI: Excuse me, my lord.
I heard you are looking for samurais. I want to train.
Miyagi teach trick.
Throw plate like discus in Olympics.
(GRUNTS)
I can do that.
Miyagi teach that trick in advanced class.
Hi-yah!
Miyagi no mean to be rude,
but must meet force with force.
I could not harm a sweet man like you.
Oh, my new hairdo! You brute!
Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you all right?
Miyagi fine. Just remember,
enemy do more than mess your hair.
You learn quickly, boy.
You will make a good samurai.
MADAME ISHIDA: Once again you show your true colors.
That of traitor! Just like your ancestor.
This time we will teach her a lesson.
Come and get me, cowards!
Those peasants have tried to steal the shrine for the last time.
We will attack at sunrise.
I must prepare my people for battle before they can attack.
Taki -san, still time to change mind.
Fighting only repeat history, not make it.
Then that means I will be victorious, just like my great ancestor.
Come on, Taki, this guy is serious.
You're not exactly major league with that thing.
So, you have come to meet us on the battlefield of our ancestors.
My warriors are ready.
Must we fight?
No choice now. Family pride and shrine lead Taki down this path.
(ISHIDA LAUGH)
Look at their silly weapons.
We will mow them down like blades of grass.
Taki, wait! You're no sword expert!
No, Toshio!
You stay away from my nephew, or I'll sweep you off the face of the earth!
Sister, wait!
DANIEL: Game's over, pal!
Nobody treats my brother like that!
That was my best broom!
UNCLE TADASHI: Sister, look out!
MADAME ISHIDA: This time it will be different.
We will have the shrine, and no more Tamuras to take it from us.
That was awesome!
How did you do that, Uncle?
AUNT YOKO: Oh, I just hope Taki is all right.
There is only you and me now, Yoshi.
I will have the shrine.
You will have to take it from me.
No listen to history.
History have way of repeating self.
Yoshi cannot lose against that weak girl!
I will avenge my ancestors!
YOSHI: The shrine!
Yoshi!
Taki! Help me!
No. We are still close enough to the temple to send the shrine back.
Once I say the poem,
the shrine will disappear out of your hands and return to the temple.
TAKI: Be true of heart.
Do not deceive me.
Break that trust,
True of heart
Trust
What am I doing? If I send the shrine back, Yoshi will fall.
I must be true to myself!
(GRUNTS)
Oh, Yoshi, can you ever forgive me?
I was so selfish!
The shrine could never replace you.
When you refused to get the shrine,
I sent your cousins to trick you into thinking Taki was untrue.
We should never have mistrusted each other.
Well now that off chest,
can all be one happy family now?
DANIEL: Hey, isn't it great?
Yoshi's grandma is gonna let him try out for the Olympics baseball team.
Well, I'm glad somebody got what they wanted.
(SIGHS)
I know what you mean, Daniel.
This time I thought for sure our quest had ended.
Look on bright side, Taki -san.
Next time shrine will be safe,
now that families put past behind them.
