of the feudal clan.

Some people said so.

I'm terribly sorry.

It was nothing to do with the

judgment of the feudal clan...

but Okuno Shume made his own decision.

It's too late to say so! Nothing

we can do about it now!

Ezaki...

You are obligated to the feudal clan.

I don't mean to talk back to

you, superintendent officer...

Jubei!

The clan officially accepted the petition

for revenge submitted by the Okuno.

It means wherever Shinpachi is, the

Okuno will find him and chop his head off!

He is destined to die.

You should worry about the future

of the house rather than his life.

It's the right way of thinking followed

by the way of samurai, don't you agree?

Now is the time to do so, don't you think?

Jinza, are we required to send

a messenger to both parties?

I myself went to see them early

this morning and confirmed.

There's no way they'll be late.

However, if you wish, I'll send...

No, it's all right.

Look Jinza...

He is still young but Tatsunosuke is

going to stand here with a lion's heart.

On the other hand, Ezaki Shinpachi

won't hesitate to come here...

and confront him with

absolute determination.

Both spirits are incredible.

As you said.

Brother, why?

Why do I have to be killed by

Tatsunosuke without fighting back?

We are both samurai, I don't get it!

Our mother...

Shinpachi...

She has a request.

Does she?

At least, in your last

moment, work for the house.

As an honorable samurai.

Honorable samurai?

Brother! I...

I was challenged by Okuno

Magodayu and faced him.

To Shume, I had a fair fight!

Being unfair, unlike a samurai...

are you saying Tatsunosuke

should just kill me!

Chief priest!

Atone for your own sins by yourself.

Don't give trouble to other people then.

Ryonen, meal time, meal!

Chief priest.

It is trouble to give consultation

about which there is nothing I can do.

Escape from here.

It looks small but Japan is a wide country.

One person can hide himself anywhere.

You don't know the samurai's code.

What?

The petition of revenge has already

been accepted by the feudal clan.

Wherever I may escape to...

each feudal clan will

regard me as a criminal.

It's not so easy.

So again you wait for him

to come and kill you?

Then, it won't be just one or two people.

I've been praying over these two

tablets morning and night for your sake.

However, a survivor is in a state of

spiritual darkness rather than a dead man.

I'll pray for the one who survives

and is in a state of spiritual darkness.

It's the only thing I can do.

Ezaki Jubei's brother Shinpachi.

I'll examine the case in which he killed

Okuno Magodayu and his brother Shume.

His brother Jubei's

judgment was all at fault.

So Okuno Jubei may be locked

up securely in the castle...

for the purpose of strict

investigation of the case.

Ezaki, come here.

Executives are so angry.

And our lord knows about it.

We can't leave it any longer.

Yes.

If you can't pursue him...

the feudal clan will send people

to lock Shinpachi up in prison.

When we find out his

body has become weak...

we'll let Okuno Tatsunosuke

avenge his brothers.

The executives have already

decided to do so privately.

However, if it happens it'll

fatally disgrace the Ezaki.

Understand?

Go now to Kanno temple in Kitakoji.

Brother.

Yes?

Has Nishida Ritsu set up a marriage

with someone in the castletown?

I heard Muroi's second son

in charge of the stock room...

will be her husband in the future.

However, this is only

a rumor, understand?

Here, here, thank you very much.

Shinpachi.

The chief priest kindly

prepared these for us.

It's little early but shall we start?

Sake... He is considerate.

That's because he is such a worldly priest.

By the way, Shinpachi...

What are you going to do?

I told you earlier all about

what the feudal clan wants.

It's only up to you.

I think there are two choices.

Which ever you choose,

it'll be your decision.

Decide to be killed by Tatsunosuke...

Or secretly leave here and

live as long as possible.

You happened to be born

my younger brother.

Because of that, you haven't

been treated very well.

I've been caring about you and

wanting to do something for you.

After all I'm here.

At least, you shouldn't care about the

house or what other people want.

Do what you want to do, by your own will.

Brother...

I'm coming in.

What do you want?

If you want more sake,

Ryonen will serve you.

What happened?

Thank you very much for

looking after me for so long.

Early tomorrow morning...

I'm going home with my

brother to the castletown.

I see.

Drink this.

Well, the trouble maker

finally leaves home.

I'll be able to relax then.

But I wanted you to spend at

least a whole summer here.

Very cool.

You never feel the hot summer when

you have a nap in the main hall.

Here.

Look, I should start packing up.

Ryonen, do you know this song?

Well, it's natural you wouldn't.

It's a song for a riding samurai.

My grandfather, no, even older...

ancestors sang this when they

rode horses or went to battle.

You sound in good sprits.

I should clean dirt mixed with mice

droppings in this falling temple.

What did you say! You

never appreciate anything!

Shinpachi, he already

decided a few days ago.

Well, don't get me wrong.

Shinpachi placed...

the mortuary tablets of Okuno Magodayu

and Shume where no one goes.

In front of those he was quietly

preparing to... to do this.

If he escapes to another

domain, the Ezaki will lose 'face'.

If he confronts enemies here, he

won't be able to defend himself.

He decided to be prepared to do

so, as he can't avoid losing his life.

Although suddenly you came to see him.

I don't know what you said to him...

but he seems to have

decided once more...

to be voluntarily killed by Tatsunosuke.

Anyway, he wishes a peaceful death...

The intention and your

situation should be considered.

But it must be something very serious

when it comes to be prepared for death.

I beg you...

Please give Shinpachi a peaceful

last moment as he wishes.

Please.

No, whatever you say, I can't do it!

The way this coming revenge...

But it's...

No, according to the notice

board this morning...

it is just a brutal beating

to death by a mob!

Brutal beating to death!

Koyama, you go a bit too far!

If it's not s brutal beating to

death, it's a sneak attack!

The reason Shinpachi has

come back to the town...

by himself was that he agreed

to be killed by Tatsunosuke.

Sir Shirai, the majority of people say

this elaborate revenge isn't acceptable.

Regarding the matter...

Jubei, Shinpachi's brother,

repeatedly requested this to me.

But we can't change it anymore as it's

already been decided in the meeting.

People start rumors but we shouldn't

care which ones abide by authority.

And even though Shinpachi is prepared...

when he faces death, we never

know what he is going to do.

Yes, as you said.

The Chief retainer has arrived!

There are many more
