Rurouni Kenshin (1996) s01e21 Episode Script

1
A brush against the freckles
that I hated oh so much
A small flicker, that's all,
and then I heave a little sigh.
The heavyweight love
that I once shared with you
Miraculously dissolved
with the sugar cube.
The little prick that I feel
on my bosom that has shrunken
from the little thorn
really hurts me now.
I guess I cannot trust those
silly horoscopes after all
I wonder what it would be like
if we could go further away right?
I'd be so happy
just because of that!
Memories I have are
always beautiful in my mind.
But they can't feed me:
they can't fill up my stomach.
In reality tonight was
supposed to be somber.
I really do wonder why
I just can't see how all of the tears were
streaming down his face that night.
I just can't see it anymore
Wandering Samurai
D-YFI
Rurouni Kenshin
It is finally the
beginning of our kingdom!
Instructor Raijuta
Please tell me
what's going on
Instructor Raijuta!
The Dissolution of a Nightmare
Raijuuta's Dream
Fire!
T-This is awful
Where's Yutaro?
Shit!
How many rifles do they have?
Was building the
kingdom a futile idea after all?
What are you saying?
From the beginning,
I was prepared to die.
The warrior's spirit
will soon become extinct
from this holy land of Japan!
Lord Tsuruza!
If we are going to become extinct
I would rather die fighting!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop killing each other!
I will not let one
more drop of blood fall
whether it be from friend or foe!
Kenshin!
Who is that?
I will now challenge Raijuta Isurugi!
Until the outcome of this duel is clear
I will not allow either side to attack!
Mr. Muraki!
That is
Mr. Kenshin Himura,
listen to him and stop attacking!
What?
That is
Kenshin Himura?
All right!
Stop the attack!
We are beginning a
temporary cease-fire!
Those of the Shinko
School should hold back as well!
Kenshin!
We should go too.
Yeah!
Instructor!
Instructor Raijuta!
Instructor!
H-Help me!
They shot my foot!
H-Hey!
Are you all right?
It hurts
It hurts
Y-You're that guy
the one who tried to
kidnap me a few days ago
l-I'm sorry about that!
But, we were asked to do so
by Raijuta!
He gave us money
He gave us money
and told us to attack you!
My teacher did?
It was all Raijuta's act!
That guy just wanted
you to be grateful to him!
That's a lie!
It's true!
We were fooled as well!
Back then, everyone was slain but me
l-Instructor
Instructor
I won't believe it
Instructor
I still think of you as my father
Kenshin!
Yutaro!
Yutaro!
So you managed to survive
Battousai.
To prevent any more
innocents from being hurt
let's settle this one-on-one
Just me and you
What?
This is a battle for our own kingdom
This is no place for you to
All right.
Lord Raijuta!
It's all right.
Kenshin
Battousai
the Imperialist who
was said to be the strongest
I was waiting for this to happen
Witness this, your parting gift
before you go to the afterlife
The oldest secret
technique from this country
The Izuna!
Look out!
Everyone, out of the way!
What is it?
Where's Kenshin?
Kenshin!
Nothing less from the Battousai
You managed to evade it by a fraction
But
What about my next attack?
Here goes!
Please, wait!
Yutaro!
Instructor Raijuta!
Kenshin saved my life!
Mr. Yutaro!
He's a brave
swordsman like you, Instructor!
I don't know much
about your kingdom
But if you two talk things over
I'm sure you would understand!
Move.
I will not move!
Please, listen to what I have to
It's useless trying to tell him that!
Don't you understand what he really is?
He's different from that!
I'm sure my Instructor
really will understand
Yutaro!
Mr. Yutaro!
Yutaro!
T-This is awful
l-l-Instructor
H-Hey you!
He was one of your students!
And yet, you've done this
So you really were just after
Yutaro's land and fortune after all!
You used Yutaro to
build your own kingdom!
T-That's a lie
He said I was his student
I have no more need
for little bugs like you!
I can save you from
your pain by killing you off
with my sword that you love so much.
What an asshole
What's this about your warrior's spirit?
Your kingdom?
Ruthless bastards like you
You should have known how much
Mr. Yutaro respected you.
Kenshin
You sent many a swordsman
down the path of destruction
and you toyed around
with an innocent boy's heart
For that
I will leave you in a living hell.
Miss Kaoru, take Mr.
Yutaro to Miss Hana's house.
We need to get his wounds
tended quickly, that we do.
Got it.
Sano, please go with her.
There still are people
fighting around here, that there are.
Please protect Mr.
Yutaro and Miss Kaoru.
All right, I understand.
Let's go, Missie.
Yeah!
Yahiko, go with them.
I will watch this guy
lose for Yutaro's sake!
Kenshin, make sure you defeat him!
All right.
Now, stand back
You are rather confident
I will not let Mr.
Yutaro's sacrifice go to waste
The wound on his body
I figured out the nature of your attack!
What?
A wound that opened
without a drop of blood
it must have been inflicted by an
air vacuum caused by a pressure wave.
In other words, a vacuum cut.
The secret technique, Izuna
I will bury it forever with my sword!
Even if you know what it is
can you defeat me?
When my sword defeats the man
of legend, Battousai the Manslayer
dawn will reach our kingdom.
I will garnish the throne of victory
with your corpse, Battousai!
The secret technique
Matoi Izuna!
Damn you!
Did he get
the Battousai?
It's fruitless, no matter
how many you throw at me.
What?
This Izuna of yours
As long as it comes across the ground,
anticipating its timing is simple.
So, Matoi Izuna alone is not
enough to defeat the Battousai
Then
Tobi Izuna!
W-What's this?
That Izuna thing can
fly straight from his sword?
I know where he's moving!
Did you see that?
This is my Izuna!
This is the ultimate killing technique!
Does this make you happy?
What?
Does this little scratch
make you that happy?
Damn you and your pathetic excuses!
I will make you regret
giving me such a wound.
You bastard!
This is the end!
What?
The Izuna
cut in two!
Do ryu sen!
Hiten Mitsurugi Style
Ryu tsui sen!
I can't believe it
he cut the Izuna
Were we
Were we caught up in a
dream that could never be?
You can die at any time.
Living on is what really takes courage.
Mr. Himura!
I am still alive as well, that I am
To repay for all the lives I have taken
What?
Mr. Himura won?
This is the end of the battle!
Nobody has to die anymore!
I can't believe it
He defeated that monstrous Raijuta
Kenshin Himura
It seems that you have
created another legend
The wound is only on his right arm.
It isn't life-threatening.
But
But?
The muscles and nerves in
that arm are completely detached.
I can't do anything else about it
I feel sorry for him, but
I don't think he will ever be able
to practice swordsmanship again.
That's impossible
He really liked
learning swordsmanship!
And yet
Dammit!
Dammit!
Dammit
I see, so that's it, then
And, what about Mr. Yutaro?
Since then, he's been shut up
in his room for an entire month.
He can no longer
practice with swords
and he was betrayed by Raijuta,
who he also saw as a second father
I'm sure that Mr. Yutaro
thinks everything in his life
has been denied, that he does
Kaoru!
Kamiya Kasshin is a style
that helps other people, right?
Can't we do anything about this?
It's ironic
that I can't do
anything at a time like this
Miss Megumi
What's wrong?
Is this a funeral wake?
Hey, what are you smiling about?
I have a letter from
the infamous Yutaro.
What?
To everyone at the Kamiya School
I hope you are doing well.
You have done a lot for me,
but I will move in with my uncle
What?
and move to Germany.
Germany?
I want to forget all the bad
things that happened in Japan
I'm pretty sure
that I will never
return to Japan again
Yutaro
The young master's uncle is
studying medicine in Germany.
There is a chance that
our young master's arm
can be healed using
modern medical technology.
L-Is that true?
L-I'm sure that your
arm will get better, Yutaro!
If it does, you have to come back!
The Kamiya School
will always welcome you!
Yutaro
Well, it is almost time for us to leave
Thank you for coming all
the way here to see us out.
I hope that you will all fare well
Now, excuse us
Come along, young master.
Yutaro!
Cheer up!
Yutaro!
Yahiko!
So you're going to
pout and run away like this?
W-What?
If being betrayed by
Raijuta was so tough
you should become
stronger than Raijuta and get over it!
By Raijuta, I don't
really mean that Raijuta!
I mean, you should become better than
the ideal Raijuta you dreamed about!
If you can't do that, you'll be
a loser for the rest of your life!
Damn you!
For once I listen to you
And you call me a loser?
I won't quit practicing swordsmanship!
I will never quit!
I still have my left arm!
Just my left arm is
enough to defeat you!
Oh, great!
You'll see!
I'll make sure I defeat you!
Yeah, you can try!
You blockhead!
What did you say?
Blockhead!
I kept quiet and listened to you
It seems
I kept quiet and listened to you
It seems
It seems
and you let it go to your head!
that he is all right, that he is
And so, Yutaro
Tsukayama headed for Germany.
Hey, don't forget!
My fight with you
hasn't been settled yet!
Yahiko Myojin
When I come back, the first
thing I'll do is to defeat you!
That day, at the Kamiya School
a new nameplate was added.
Yutaro Tsukayama.
He is one of my dear students.
Yotaro Tsokayama
Tentative
When your heart is
shaken about with tears
What should i be doing to help you out?
Even looking up at the sky
My heart hurts as much as yours.
Something that you don't
have to get hurt over
Everyone accidentally feels
Just like the times
when you're surprised
by how cold the water really is.
Now, just being here right next to you
It's all that i can do, and nothing else
All the smiles that i can
make just for you, anytime
I'll embrace and send to
you, whenever you need it.
You can believe it,
dreams will someday be reality
Just for you and only for you
It's okay to cry, because
deep inside that heart of yours
every piece of
sadness turns to wings
for you to fly.
