Fight with the beast inside you, and become human.

I'm not a human.

Everyone... Everyone's the same.

They kill each other if there is nothing to eat.

There are even people

who devour their children.

Everyone is an enemy.

It's always eat or get eaten.

That's why I have fangs.

Asura listen up.

It is true that everyone has a beastly nature.

Yet, there is something different

about you, from other beasts.

You have a heart.

Heart...

People have a heart.

As someone walks on a beastly

path, they become more dejected.

You were saying that you were

suffering, that's a sign of being human.

I haven't said.

But you were just saying it a moment ago.

I don't have a heart.

That is why I have no choice but to eat.

I am a beast.

Do you want to be a beast that much?

I got it.

Then give that to me.

I will give this arm up to Buddha.

Now eat!

Try eating my arm.

I am the same.

No one wants to eat human flesh.

As people have reasoning.

Yet, there are times when things

are so tough that people lose their reasoning.

So you have to fight with the beast inside you.

Don't hate people or hate yourself.

Hate that beast inside you.

This is to celebrate that

you have become human.

Seems its useless this year.

You sure have it tough, Gisuke.

Hey is that alright?

What?

There are guys who buy people at Sakuji's place.

You can sell Wakasa for a high price.

You want me to call them?

Don't be a fool!

I won't sell my daughter!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

I'll remember this.

Go away!

Thanks.

Wakasa.

Actually there is less to eat here too.

The Lord is rationing the food these days.

So, Um...

Sorry.

It's alright.

I was relying on you too much.

Wakasa.

I will do something myself.

Even if you say that...

We don't have any we can share.

Sorry.

It's alright, sorry for bothering you.

Of course we don't have any.

I want some on the contrary.

I will bring more the next time.

When is the next time?

Don't move to much.

You'll get hungry.

I'll come again tomorrow.

It's ours!

Why are you acting like it's yours?

This is ours.

What are you doing?

This isn't what it looks like!

That's ours...

Where do you plan on taking them?

Sorry, I can't leave Wakasa dying.

You want to starve us for some girl?

It's our food, give it back!

I beg you, this much!

It's the horse thief!

The horse thief is here!

It's the brat that killed Kotaro-sama.

Come out, where are you!

It went to the back of the store house.

What, that brat was alive!

Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.

You brat, I won't forgive you.

Gather the everyone from the village.

I will make sure you die this time.

We screwed up.

What is it father.

I think I should have just

listened to what he said at that time.

Before you become like that.

Well, it might not be to late.

What do you think Wakasa?

If you don't want to then it's OK.

I was just putting the idea out there.

It's just...

We need food.

Gisuke, Jitou-sama is calling everyone.

At such a time!

Any at rate just hurry.

Can't be helped.

Guess I'll go and have a look.

I won't forgive anyone if they show mercy.

Listen, don't wait for me.

Just kill it when you find it.

One years worth of rice to the one who kills it.

One years worth of rice!

Father went out in the middle of night.

OK I'll go as well then.

When you find that brat,

you need to tell Jitou-sama.

It's that brat who killed his son.

If you catch him, you get one years worth of rice.

I see...

Asura!

Wakasa.

Don't put a hand on my Wakasa.

Eat.

Meat.

You killed people again?

This is horse meat.

I dont need it.

Then I will.

Father.

That is human meat.

Like I care.

I can't take this hunger anymore.

Thanks.

No!

Meat!

Father.

Those who eat human meat will

fall into the depth of damnation!

Weren't you saying that all the time.

Can't help it, it's for living on.

Eat already.

No.

But, if you don't eat, you will die.

I won't eat it, I'd rather die.

I brought it for you.

Cheer up.

We can play like we used to.

Why?

Why?

You do things that hurt me?

We can't ever play like we used to.

Jitou-sama!

Wakasa...

Wakasa!

Wakasa, this is horse meat!

So eat it.

There's no point in trying to trick me.

Eat it!

This is horse meat.

Stop it Asura.

Wakasa!

Stop it.

Wakasa!

Please eat it.

Say Asura.

If I eat that...

I feel like I won't be able

to live properly anymore.

I don't want to live while

holding onto that feeling.

You are suffering so much right now.

You will suffer more if you don't eat.

I want you to live.

I don't want you to die.

So you must live!

Wakasa!

Why don't you listen to what I say.

You idiot!

Asura, don't!

Catch it!

After it!

Hunt down that beast.

There it is.

Capture it.

How was your end.

Wasn't there too.

There it is!

After it!

There it is!

Surround it!

Where is it?

Where did it go?

You!

You brat!

There it is!

Its over there.

Found it!

This way.

Okay we've cornered it.

Kill it!

Kill it!

Kill it!

Asura,

I must have only passed

beside you, among the 6 way life cycle.

But, I want to thank that affinity.

The thing that you taught me was,

That people can even live on,

no matter what troubles they face.

Taking away life that was born,

And taking away life after life.

People still keep on living.

Burdened with crime.

Even so, trying to live as much as there is life.

That is why,

this world is beautiful.
