Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : A condemned storyteller once asked to be beheaded while telling a story. |
(0:00:18.03) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : My father, Yamada Asaemon Kichiji, accepted his request. |
(0:00:33.92) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Even after he was beheaded, |
(0:01:00.95) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : the storyteller finished his tale. |
(0:01:03.12) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : He didn't even realize he'd been beheaded. |
(0:01:08.42) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : It was the perfect blow, painless and devoid of emotion. |
(0:01:10.92) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : After that, I made it my goal to duplicate that stroke my father made. |
(0:01:16.63) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Thank you. |
(0:01:49.92) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : There's fear. |
(0:02:00.55) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : In your swordsmanship. |
(0:02:02.68) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Doubt and fear. |
(0:02:04.60) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : You'll make the condemned die painful deaths. |
(0:02:07.14) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I'll work on it. |
(0:02:11.81) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Sagiri... |
(0:02:31.42) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Look at your blade. |
(0:02:32.92) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : The truth is reflected in the blade. |
(0:02:37.05) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : My blade, heavy with fear, causes the condemned to suffer, |
(0:02:40.18) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : which makes my blade heavier still. |
(0:02:44.22) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : What should I do? |
(0:02:48.27) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : How can I eliminate doubt and fear from my heart? |
(0:02:50.14) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Like my father. |
(0:02:57.74) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Perhaps... |
(0:03:04.45) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : if it were a life I could take without doubt or hesitation. |
(0:03:09.46) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : A burglar who killed 30 people, Tanio Seikichi. |
(0:05:19.79) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : The serial arsonist, Nikimaru. |
(0:05:25.80) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : The former constable and murderer, Kido Shukan. |
(0:05:28.93) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : They're all heinous criminals who've caused chaos. |
(0:05:32.22) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : You cannot. |
(0:05:41.82) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : The atmosphere changed. |
(0:06:02.84) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Adachi Matagoro... |
(0:06:11.80) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : A fiend who killed only woman and children, and only for pleasure. |
(0:06:13.76) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Could I kill a truly evil person who's better off dead without doubt or hesitation? |
(0:06:18.52) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I was certainly wary of him at first. |
(0:07:03.44) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : But now he's so listless, like he's a different person. |
(0:07:07.07) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Is this man just like the other criminals? |
(0:07:11.07) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Or is he even more evil than that, as the rumors claim? |
(0:07:13.82) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Yes. |
(0:10:24.14) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I can't tell if he's brave or just dumb. |
(0:10:28.10) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Feeling overwhelmed, Sagiri? |
(0:14:09.70) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Eizen-dono... |
(0:14:12.62) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : It'll be even more brutal on the island. |
(0:14:14.12) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Not just among the criminals. |
(0:14:19.00) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : You'll be exposed to harm as well. |
(0:14:21.17) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : When that happens, will you be able to kill? |
(0:14:24.46) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Let me take this opportunity to tell you... |
(0:14:30.72) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : you're not suited to this job. |
(0:14:35.47) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Why would a woman bother to wield a sword? |
(0:14:42.73) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : The daughter of a warrior should live quietly in her mansion |
(0:14:45.57) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : and stay far away from the fate of an executioner. |
(0:14:50.74) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : With all due respect, Eizen-dono, I would have if I could. |
(0:14:59.67) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Testing swords on bodies, beheading criminals, making medicines from corpses... |
(0:15:18.98) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Even if you don't wield a sword, |
(0:15:25.77) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : everyone born into the Yamada clan makes their living through people's deaths. |
(0:15:27.69) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : You can try to turn a blind eye to it. |
(0:15:59.93) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : But the truth is reflected in the blade. |
(0:16:19.50) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Can you kill him? |
(0:16:43.89) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I can't escape the executioner's fate. |
(0:16:50.86) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : In that case... |
(0:16:53.74) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I refuse to quietly accept it. |
(0:16:56.12) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I'll see for myself what my fate is. |
(0:17:01.20) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Why? |
(0:17:22.22) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Why? |
(0:17:26.31) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : His methods are brutal. |
(0:20:45.68) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : Is it possible that what I needed wasn't the strength not to fear killing... |
(0:20:57.23) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : But the resolve to take on the burden of that fear and the lives I took? |
(0:21:06.16) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Sagiri, are you all right? |
(0:21:19.55) |
Eizen Yamada Asaemon : Perhaps this was too great a responsibility for you after all. |
(0:21:22.59) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : No. |
(0:21:25.43) |
Sagiri Yamada Asaemon : I will kill him. |
(0:21:26.89) |
