00:01:35,658 --> 00:01:41,038
BAKI-DOU: THE INVINCIBLE SAMURAI

2
00:01:45,126 --> 00:01:48,546
This is well-made,

3
00:01:49,171 --> 00:01:51,048
but this won't do.

4
00:01:51,882 --> 00:01:55,052
What kind of match is this?

5
00:01:55,636 --> 00:01:58,055
Was this even a match to begin with?

6
00:01:58,639 --> 00:02:03,060
Utsumi, we had a deal. Can I go home now?

7
00:02:04,228 --> 00:02:07,106
Are you in a hurry?

8
00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:13,070
Am I interrupting, Utsumi?

9
00:02:13,154 --> 00:02:15,072
Shibukawa.

10
00:02:15,865 --> 00:02:16,824
Hey, sir!

11
00:02:16,907 --> 00:02:19,410
I've been waiting for you.

12
00:02:21,245 --> 00:02:22,329
<i>Well, well.</i>

13
00:02:22,413 --> 00:02:24,832
<i>It's been a while since I've seen this.</i>

14
00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:29,837
<i>There's a solid core
running straight through him.</i>

15
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,842
Shibukawa, the person over there is

16
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:37,845
Musashi Miyamoto.

17
00:02:43,934 --> 00:02:46,854
<i>What will they do? The two legends.</i>

18
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,861
Yes, Musashi, right.

19
00:02:55,446 --> 00:02:59,116
Wow! That Musashi...

20
00:03:02,912 --> 00:03:05,372
I'd like to ask you both something.

21
00:03:05,456 --> 00:03:09,501
His presence is
no longer limited to Japan.

22
00:03:09,585 --> 00:03:11,378
It extends to human history.

23
00:03:11,462 --> 00:03:16,884
Musashi Miyamoto went down in history
as an unmatched warrior.

24
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:21,680
On the other hand, the master of masters
who lives in the present,

25
00:03:21,764 --> 00:03:24,391
Goki Shibukawa, who's still in his prime.

26
00:03:24,975 --> 00:03:28,145
Which one is stronger, I wonder?

27
00:03:28,979 --> 00:03:32,900
No, no. Absolutely not.

28
00:03:32,983 --> 00:03:35,945
What on earth are you saying?

29
00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,614
Think clearly, Utsumi.

30
00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:42,326
The name Musashi Miyamoto.

31
00:03:42,409 --> 00:03:48,457
To those of us who live for martial arts,
you know what that means.

32
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:51,418
He's not merely in the realm of the gods.
He is one.

33
00:03:51,502 --> 00:03:54,755
Which one is stronger? That's ridiculous.

34
00:03:55,256 --> 00:03:59,677
Just being able to meet you like this
is the greatest honor.

35
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,930
Could we please have a handshake?

36
00:04:04,014 --> 00:04:05,432
A handshake?

37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:08,435
It's like a Western-style greeting.

38
00:04:15,651 --> 00:04:18,070
Um...

39
00:04:18,153 --> 00:04:19,113
I can't...

40
00:04:20,447 --> 00:04:22,157
let go of your hand.

41
00:04:22,241 --> 00:04:23,325
What?

42
00:04:24,910 --> 00:04:26,829
<i>It's a technique.</i>

43
00:04:26,912 --> 00:04:30,833
Is this a spell? I can't let go
of my hand, even when I try to.

44
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:33,961
You're already in my grasp,

45
00:04:34,044 --> 00:04:35,087
Mr. God.

46
00:04:42,303 --> 00:04:43,721
<i>So heavy...</i>

47
00:04:46,056 --> 00:04:46,974
<i>It's</i> aiki<i>!</i>

48
00:04:49,768 --> 00:04:51,979
Miyamoto.

49
00:04:52,062 --> 00:04:54,606
I know what happened.

50
00:04:54,690 --> 00:04:57,985
I know it was a match,
but I can't accept this.

51
00:04:59,570 --> 00:05:02,239
Sea King Retsu was my pal.

52
00:05:11,999 --> 00:05:13,876
Serves you right.

53
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:15,502
Shibukawa!

54
00:05:15,586 --> 00:05:17,921
<i>What incredible luck!</i>

55
00:05:18,005 --> 00:05:20,507
<i>I got to witness</i> aiki <i>in actual combat!</i>

56
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,769
I have no intention of apologizing.

57
00:05:33,354 --> 00:05:36,732
It may sound nice
if I say I'm avenging my pal,

58
00:05:36,815 --> 00:05:43,155
but even Sea King Retsu himself wouldn't
want this kind of ridiculous revenge.

59
00:05:45,032 --> 00:05:48,535
I did it out of my own feelings.

60
00:05:49,119 --> 00:05:53,749
I carried out the revenge
due to my dislike for Musashi Miyamoto.

61
00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:58,545
In short, I was just venting.

62
00:06:01,131 --> 00:06:05,177
Putting that aside,
that's an amazing technique.

63
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:07,054
I couldn't let go of your hand.

64
00:06:07,638 --> 00:06:13,060
We were gripping hands equally,
but I was manipulated one-sidedly.

65
00:06:13,811 --> 00:06:19,566
<i>On top of that, you even used
the hand you grabbed to put weight on me.</i>

66
00:06:19,650 --> 00:06:22,820
<i>As if you placed a giant rock on me.</i>

67
00:06:22,903 --> 00:06:25,155
This is a technique I don't know.

68
00:06:25,906 --> 00:06:30,327
<i>That's true.</i>
Aiki <i>didn't exist in the Sengoku era.</i>

69
00:06:30,411 --> 00:06:35,707
{\an8}When you lose your sword or spear
in battle, you grapple.

70
00:06:35,791 --> 00:06:38,836
{\an8}This technique was born
to control weapons while unarmed.

71
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:40,838
That's <i>torite</i>.

72
00:06:40,921 --> 00:06:44,842
It's a story
from the distant future for you,

73
00:06:44,925 --> 00:06:50,347
but this country issued the Haito Edict,
separating the people from their swords.

74
00:06:50,931 --> 00:06:57,396
As a result, the bare-handed
grappling techniques lived on as jujitsu.

75
00:06:57,479 --> 00:06:59,064
Jujitsu?

76
00:06:59,148 --> 00:07:03,360
In the sixth year of Ansei,
a genius appeared.

77
00:07:03,444 --> 00:07:06,113
<i>It was Sokaku Takeda.</i>

78
00:07:06,697 --> 00:07:11,410
<i>At the age of 15, he was caught
in a ruffian's fight in Inawashiro,</i>

79
00:07:11,493 --> 00:07:12,870
<i>but he cut them down.</i>

80
00:07:13,537 --> 00:07:16,373
<i>He left behind countless stories of valor.</i>

81
00:07:16,457 --> 00:07:20,627
But Sokaku was a genius.
It didn't end with just that.

82
00:07:20,711 --> 00:07:23,714
This story is long.

83
00:07:24,214 --> 00:07:27,092
He was only around 150 centimeters tall,

84
00:07:27,176 --> 00:07:31,638
yet a technique one might call
revolutionary came from this disadvantage.

85
00:07:32,222 --> 00:07:34,641
<i>The attack of a hostile opponent.</i>

86
00:07:35,476 --> 00:07:39,188
<i>A secret technique that neutralizes
an enemy the moment they touch him.</i>

87
00:07:39,271 --> 00:07:40,898
<i>He created</i> aiki<i>.</i>

88
00:07:41,899 --> 00:07:43,400
<i>Aiki.</i>

89
00:07:43,484 --> 00:07:47,279
After Sokaku Takeda,
a few talents were born,

90
00:07:47,362 --> 00:07:52,784
but finally, another super-genius
appeared who surpassed even Sokaku.

91
00:07:54,995 --> 00:07:57,915
Me, Goki Shibukawa.

92
00:07:57,998 --> 00:07:59,917
<i>Oh, he said his name!</i>

93
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,418
<i>It's starting!</i>

94
00:08:03,921 --> 00:08:06,924
Shibukawa, what do you see?

95
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:13,597
{\an8}Since this morning,
I've been seeing a flower field.

96
00:08:14,473 --> 00:08:15,891
Me too.

97
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:21,647
{\an8}The best self-defense?

98
00:08:22,606 --> 00:08:28,695
{\an8}Well, there's no self-defense
better than our Chinese martial art.

99
00:08:29,404 --> 00:08:31,782
I'd love to say that if I could,

100
00:08:31,865 --> 00:08:37,204
but when you're over 150 years old,
it's hard to be so biased.

101
00:08:38,288 --> 00:08:40,207
There are stages.

102
00:08:40,290 --> 00:08:45,212
<i>You take down opponents with brilliant
technique without breaking a sweat.</i>

103
00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:54,221
That stage is only halfway there.
It's nowhere near complete.

104
00:08:56,306 --> 00:09:00,727
When self-defense is perfected,
you can't use techniques.

105
00:09:01,353 --> 00:09:05,232
Even if you want to use them,
you aren't able to get near to any danger.

106
00:09:05,315 --> 00:09:08,735
<i>Is it crimson flames
that stand in the way,</i>

107
00:09:09,403 --> 00:09:11,238
<i>or a raging torrent,</i>

108
00:09:11,863 --> 00:09:13,740
<i>or a mountain of swords?</i>

109
00:09:14,324 --> 00:09:19,371
It blocks your way,
and you can't even approach it.

110
00:09:19,454 --> 00:09:22,249
What? Oh, these?

111
00:09:22,332 --> 00:09:24,001
Prayer beads.

112
00:09:24,084 --> 00:09:28,255
My dear disciple went to the other side.

113
00:09:29,256 --> 00:09:32,050
<i>A peaceful day begins.</i>

114
00:09:32,134 --> 00:09:34,761
<i>A residential area
no different from yesterday.</i>

115
00:09:35,345 --> 00:09:37,764
<i>The only thing that has changed</i>

116
00:09:38,348 --> 00:09:42,436
<i>is that the road was boiling lava.</i>

117
00:09:44,855 --> 00:09:47,774
<i>It's always like that on dangerous days.</i>

118
00:09:47,858 --> 00:09:50,902
<i>It tells me not to go.</i>

119
00:09:53,363 --> 00:09:55,991
<i>But there's a problem.</i>

120
00:09:57,367 --> 00:10:03,290
<i>I'm kind of into that dangerous stuff.</i>

121
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:06,710
Utsumi.

122
00:10:07,878 --> 00:10:11,798
Does this mean it's already started?

123
00:10:20,265 --> 00:10:22,309
I knew it was coming.

124
00:10:22,893 --> 00:10:25,062
Surprise attacks are your specialty.

125
00:10:25,646 --> 00:10:27,564
You're a legendary rule-breaker.

126
00:10:27,648 --> 00:10:31,068
{\an8}Out of those samurai period dramas,

127
00:10:31,693 --> 00:10:35,656
that's where Miyamoto Musashi came from.

128
00:10:41,828 --> 00:10:43,830
<i>Mommy!</i>

129
00:10:46,291 --> 00:10:49,836
<i>I knew he'd be carrying them.
The long one and the short one.</i>

130
00:10:51,088 --> 00:10:52,589
<i>Well, of course.</i>

131
00:10:53,173 --> 00:10:55,092
<i>He's a samurai.</i>

132
00:11:07,688 --> 00:11:11,608
You got me!

133
00:11:23,161 --> 00:11:25,122
Hey, master?

134
00:11:28,208 --> 00:11:31,128
Wow, as expected.

135
00:11:31,712 --> 00:11:33,880
As expected.

136
00:11:34,506 --> 00:11:36,883
You are a true swordsman.

137
00:11:38,468 --> 00:11:41,138
You cut me without even showing the draw.

138
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:45,392
That's not it.

139
00:11:45,475 --> 00:11:48,729
You didn't even show me
a sign of stepping in.

140
00:11:48,812 --> 00:11:51,148
Before I knew it, you cut me.

141
00:11:51,231 --> 00:11:55,152
<i>You closed in on me
before I even took my first step.</i>

142
00:11:55,902 --> 00:11:57,779
I couldn't even touch you.

143
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,657
No <i>aiki</i>, no anything.

144
00:12:05,203 --> 00:12:06,663
I completely lost.

145
00:12:12,335 --> 00:12:14,421
Whoa...

146
00:12:14,504 --> 00:12:16,673
<i>As expected.</i>

147
00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:21,678
<i>This is what a master swordsman
is supposed to be like.</i>

148
00:12:25,724 --> 00:12:28,101
It must've been that old guy Tokugawa.

149
00:12:28,977 --> 00:12:31,104
He ratted out my location.

150
00:12:32,439 --> 00:12:36,109
I don't really want to say this, Motobe,

151
00:12:36,693 --> 00:12:39,112
but I was planning to visit you.

152
00:12:40,697 --> 00:12:43,867
You were planning to visit me?

153
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:47,329
{\an8}Haven't you been getting
more visitors lately?

154
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:50,874
{\an8}You're the one who knows him the best.

155
00:12:53,293 --> 00:12:56,880
This is Hardy Noces d'Or, a cognac.

156
00:12:57,714 --> 00:12:58,882
Drink up.

157
00:13:22,239 --> 00:13:24,157
These grapes are good.

158
00:13:25,075 --> 00:13:26,660
The barrel is good too.

159
00:13:32,916 --> 00:13:35,168
This is cheap candy.

160
00:13:35,794 --> 00:13:37,170
It goes well with this.

161
00:13:43,218 --> 00:13:46,721
Yujiro Hanma puts candy in his mouth.

162
00:13:46,805 --> 00:13:50,183
I just witnessed
a priceless piece of footage.

163
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:53,937
I'm in high spirits.

164
00:13:55,522 --> 00:13:59,192
{\an8}Musashi Miyamoto is an absolute brand.

165
00:14:00,277 --> 00:14:02,195
I want to meet him.

166
00:14:05,782 --> 00:14:08,952
{\an8}I'm telling you this
for your own good. Don't do it.

167
00:14:17,544 --> 00:14:18,962
Why not?

168
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,219
He's not someone you can handle.

169
00:14:41,192 --> 00:14:46,615
The heat isn't too bad this summer.
It's not strong enough to drive you crazy.

170
00:14:47,782 --> 00:14:52,871
Izo Motobe, who can handle him?

171
00:14:53,830 --> 00:14:57,876
Yujiro Hanma, you can relax.

172
00:14:57,959 --> 00:15:01,379
I will protect you.

173
00:15:03,715 --> 00:15:06,134
I'll kill you!

174
00:15:31,117 --> 00:15:34,204
<i>His thoughts were in conflict.</i>

175
00:15:34,996 --> 00:15:36,831
<i>You can relax.</i>

176
00:15:36,915 --> 00:15:39,417
<i>I will protect you.</i>

177
00:15:40,335 --> 00:15:42,420
<i>He's never been protected.</i>

178
00:15:43,004 --> 00:15:49,427
<i>From the moment he was born until now,
he's never let anyone protect him.</i>

179
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,517
<i>He ordered his own birth.</i>

180
00:15:56,017 --> 00:16:00,021
<i>He even ordered his mother
to breastfeed him.</i>

181
00:16:00,522 --> 00:16:04,025
<i>Being protected
feels totally unnatural to him.</i>

182
00:16:04,526 --> 00:16:07,529
<i>He has no immunity to being protected.</i>

183
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:11,199
<i>He was furious.</i>

184
00:16:12,534 --> 00:16:14,202
- An earthquake?
- What was that?

185
00:16:33,722 --> 00:16:35,724
<i>I did pretty well.</i>

186
00:16:36,349 --> 00:16:41,980
<i>I pushed my will
through the enraged Ogre himself.</i>

187
00:16:42,063 --> 00:16:44,566
<i>I will protect Yujiro Hanma</i>

188
00:16:45,066 --> 00:16:46,735
<i>and Baki Hanma</i>

189
00:16:46,818 --> 00:16:48,737
<i>and Shibukawa</i>

190
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:50,238
<i>and Jack</i>

191
00:16:50,321 --> 00:16:51,990
<i>and Katsumi Orochi.</i>

192
00:16:52,073 --> 00:16:56,494
<i>There's something
that modern fighters can never see.</i>

193
00:16:56,578 --> 00:16:58,997
<i>Only I, Izo Motobe, can see these things.</i>

194
00:16:59,831 --> 00:17:02,584
I've lived through ancient martial arts.

195
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:05,420
The one who can see stands at the front.

196
00:17:05,503 --> 00:17:08,590
It's an obvious duty.

197
00:17:15,096 --> 00:17:18,016
Well, now. Looks like the season changed.

198
00:17:19,601 --> 00:17:21,770
{\an8}Stop moving so violently.

199
00:17:27,609 --> 00:17:29,277
Hanma.

200
00:17:35,366 --> 00:17:41,289
Someone in charge of security
shouldn't be taken from behind so easily.

201
00:17:41,372 --> 00:17:44,417
<i>This is the first time he's spoken to me.</i>

202
00:17:44,501 --> 00:17:46,795
I'm terribly ashamed.

203
00:17:46,878 --> 00:17:51,091
Why sneak in?
You could've walked in through the front--

204
00:17:51,174 --> 00:17:52,759
That's not my style.

205
00:17:54,135 --> 00:17:55,804
First of all,

206
00:17:55,887 --> 00:17:58,848
I didn't come here to drink tea.

207
00:17:58,932 --> 00:18:00,058
Um...

208
00:18:02,644 --> 00:18:05,063
You have a guest, right?

209
00:18:08,608 --> 00:18:11,611
Is something wrong, Musashi?

210
00:18:11,694 --> 00:18:13,196
This is amazing.

211
00:18:14,656 --> 00:18:18,034
Who did you summon?

212
00:18:18,118 --> 00:18:19,369
What?

213
00:18:19,452 --> 00:18:22,288
Come in, good sir.

214
00:18:26,918 --> 00:18:29,838
Yujiro!

215
00:18:29,921 --> 00:18:31,673
Do you know him?

216
00:18:34,551 --> 00:18:36,344
Well, it doesn't matter anymore.

217
00:18:37,178 --> 00:18:38,555
I thank you.

218
00:18:40,306 --> 00:18:41,975
Yujiro...

219
00:18:42,809 --> 00:18:46,312
Tokugawa, another cup, please.

220
00:18:46,813 --> 00:18:48,731
TOUGH

221
00:19:03,580 --> 00:19:05,999
TOKUGAWA

222
00:19:14,883 --> 00:19:16,259
My goodness...

223
00:19:16,342 --> 00:19:18,928
<i>It reaches the heavens.</i>

224
00:19:19,012 --> 00:19:21,014
My goodness!

225
00:19:22,056 --> 00:19:23,600
So, good sir.

226
00:19:24,601 --> 00:19:26,519
What do you see in me?

227
00:19:27,103 --> 00:19:30,023
Are you asking me what I see in you?

228
00:19:30,106 --> 00:19:32,525
I'd love to hear it. Please.

229
00:19:33,026 --> 00:19:35,153
What a foolish question.

230
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,285
{\an8}The real Musashi Miyamoto, the legendary
swordsman, is right in front of me.

231
00:19:43,453 --> 00:19:48,291
Musashi Miyamoto, who will react
if I jump at him, is right here.

232
00:19:48,875 --> 00:19:50,293
Do you get it?

233
00:19:50,376 --> 00:19:52,879
My dream has come true.

234
00:19:53,379 --> 00:19:58,551
Even if mountains of gold surrounded me,
I'd only see you.

235
00:19:59,385 --> 00:20:03,556
As expected of you!
Well said, Yujiro Hanma!

236
00:20:04,641 --> 00:20:08,561
So, what do you see in me?

237
00:20:10,146 --> 00:20:13,066
Surely not gold, right?

238
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,579
Is gold not good?

239
00:20:29,165 --> 00:20:32,835
So the fight isn't the goal.
It's the means.

240
00:20:34,420 --> 00:20:37,840
<i>How will you respond, Musashi Miyamoto?</i>

241
00:20:38,925 --> 00:20:40,843
The purity is low.

242
00:20:42,929 --> 00:20:45,348
Is purity necessary?

243
00:20:46,933 --> 00:20:48,101
I cut,

244
00:20:48,184 --> 00:20:49,686
<i>and cut,</i>

245
00:20:49,769 --> 00:20:50,603
<i>and cut.</i>

246
00:20:51,187 --> 00:20:53,606
<i>I've fought more than 60 times.</i>

247
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:58,695
If you include trivial skirmishes,
it'd be no less than 100.

248
00:20:59,195 --> 00:21:01,197
I've cut plenty.

249
00:21:01,698 --> 00:21:03,116
I know.

250
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:07,203
The more I cut, the more my name spread.

251
00:21:08,204 --> 00:21:09,122
<i>To Kyoto,</i>

252
00:21:09,205 --> 00:21:10,623
<i>Nara,</i>

253
00:21:10,707 --> 00:21:12,125
<i>Edo.</i>

254
00:21:12,834 --> 00:21:17,130
<i>As my name spread, the feudal lords
of the provinces wouldn't leave me be.</i>

255
00:21:17,213 --> 00:21:20,174
Everyone wanted me.

256
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:23,970
<i>Sounds like...</i>

257
00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:30,643
<i>As I overwhelmed famous swordsmen,
the conditions for hiring me kept rising.</i>

258
00:21:31,352 --> 00:21:34,647
<i>Men and women of all ages praised me.</i>

259
00:21:35,231 --> 00:21:38,151
<i>The crowds were so dense,
I couldn't even walk.</i>

260
00:21:38,943 --> 00:21:40,403
<i>This man...</i>

261
00:21:41,988 --> 00:21:44,407
<i>Beautiful women,</i>

262
00:21:44,490 --> 00:21:47,160
<i>dazzling gold,</i>

263
00:21:47,785 --> 00:21:49,912
<i>extravagant feasts,</i>

264
00:21:49,996 --> 00:21:51,914
<i>and sake.</i>

265
00:21:52,749 --> 00:21:53,916
Good grief.

266
00:21:55,501 --> 00:21:58,171
This is exactly what I want!

267
00:21:58,254 --> 00:22:00,089
I want to rise to the top!

268
00:22:00,173 --> 00:22:01,924
I want to be celebrated!

269
00:22:02,008 --> 00:22:05,928
I want to be praised!

270
00:22:08,264 --> 00:22:11,684
I want to be someone
who can never run away or hide!

271
00:22:11,768 --> 00:22:13,186
Hey...

272
00:23:46,863 --> 00:23:51,200
