Friday.

Every Friday.

He hasn't missed a game in 10

years.

Vote For the General!

Come on, come on, let's go.

Thank you very much for your

continued support!

Sign.

So far, so good.

It's like kind ways or right way?

Or so it seems.

Out east, in the forest...

In between caves, cliffs and

waterfalls...

The camp... the mansion...

The training grounds...

Red suits and killers are more

troubled to be found...

From a dragon for help.

We've only just begun.

It's Eddie, he said it was urgent.

Yeah, number 2, Eddie here, Sir.

It's a beautiful day, Eddie.

The birds are chirping.

There's a strange man here, Sir.

An oriental.

The birds, Eddie, they're chirping.

He says he wants to offer a trade.

- A what?

- Exactly.

Now, we had a little incident last

night...

Some of our boys got beat up pretty

bad at a Japanese restaurant.

Does he look Japanese?

He looks fishy.

Fishy fish...

Hm-hm... Don't you think it's odd,

Sir?

- Odd?

- Yeah.

Singing dogs are odd, Eddie.

An oriental stranger who's beating

up your men is not odd.

In the worst case, he's an

intriguing problem.

- Your problem.

- Yes, yes, I...

Great. Now, Eddie...

If you interrupt me like this

again...

You will see the edge of my

dagger...

Literally speaking of course...

Ah, of course, Sir.

Eddie.

Yoshi.

Yoshi...

Come.. Sit here.

- What's this?

- Just a precaution.

We've had quite a few mercenaries

come to town lately.

Every small syndicates think they

could just muscle in...

And take over the land.

We have to deal with 5 challenges

in the last 2 months alone...

Now, even the workers are

fantasizing it.

Almost like 16th century Japan

here.

- Almost.

- Exactly.

What's your story, Yoshi? Who sent

you?

Tokyo Yakuza?

I'm a villager.

My family will pay a lot of

money...

For a... a dragon.

Here.

Hey, hey, hey...

Listen... I'm not looking for a

fight.

Passing the journey. If any of your

men identifies it...

He can make a lot of money.

An interesting character, Yoshi.

Next time, be a little more

careful.

Run ahead. Avoid unnecessary

trouble and most importantly...

Stay away from Japanese

restaurants.

A villager, huh?

Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi...

You're good.

But you can't beat me with a stick.

I'm giving you... one... last...

chance.

Red Sake.

Just give me Whiskey.

- What kind?

- Any kind.

How much is it?

Fifty-five.

For a glass?

You said any kind.

Very much.

A man needs a hobby.

- Mine's pop-up funnies.

- Pop-up funny?

Oh...

- it's for children.

- No.

It's for people with imagination.

It's the myth of Arachhidiz.

In his youth, Arachhidiz falls into a

hidden cave and gets beaten by an arachnid.

An arachnid is... a spider.

Anyhow... As he grows older...

- Arachhidiz realizes the bite gave him special powers.

- Spiders don't have special

They walk on the walls.

- Funny.

- No.

Arachhidiz uses his newly obtained

powers...

To get far stronger enemies.

He realizes that his new power gives

him a responsibility to fight.

For the greater good.

And the weak men's freedom.

So, it's a story about personal

responsibility.

And then some...

- Why don't you drink the drink?

- The truth is...

I didn't really come here for the

whisky.

I had a feeling you were gonna say

that.

I'm looking for some information.

About a guy.

Named Nicola.

Good luck, friend.

Good timing.

Figured it was time for a drink.

Well, this one's on the house.

Who are you?

Either a friend or a foe.

Depends on who's looking.

- I'm looking.

- Maybe you should look somewhere else.

Something on your mind?

$48, 000 something to be exact.

Well, this might be your lucky

night.

'Cos this fine gentleman here is

looking to buy some information.

About a fella named Nicola.

You think you might be able to help

him out?

So...

You know this man?

What if I do?

I need to find him.

I need a loan..

Two days and I'll have it back to

you with interest.

After that...

I'll see what I can do.

What's in it for me?

Profit.

And the ultimate power of my

negotiating skills.

[Yoshi Speaking in Japanese]

Are you gonna tell me what that means

or are you gonna leave me guessing?

It means you are...

A liar.

And a cheat.

And I don't see howl need you to

negotiate for me.

You guys wanna fight... Take it

outside.

The good mentor... Never forces

himself on the unprepared.

Steady opens the door...

And waits for the rain to push them

into his warm embrace.

Bravo! Bravisimo!!

I'm sorry.

She said she'd tell Nicola I tried

to rape her.

You know me, I pay on time.

Sshhhh ....

I found them in the back.

Messing with the ladies.

What did I tell you?

You know how she is.

Leave them alone! You degenerate

f***!

You don't run me.

You don't tell me what to do.

Take her to the camp.

Have them wash her down.

And get her ready.

You're nothing, but a dog.

Nicola's little poodle.

Your time is coming, pooch.

And I promise I'll be there when

you're finally stiff.

What about them?

It's not their fault our boss has

poor taste in women.

But, then again...

Someone has to take responsibility

for this fiasco.

Fix your hair.

Sword. rd.

A pure soul is like pure water.

And pure water has no shade and no

color.

It only reflects what it stands

next to.

It's dirt, wind, and salt that

gives it character.

You don't understand. There's evil

inside me and it's kicking.

Life is tough.

But you've done well for yourself,

darling.

Why beat yourself up?

I could've been decent, Lady.

I could've been someone's woman.

And instead, I chose to be

someone's whore.

Good work.

We'll call it...

Gangbusters.

Cowboy and a world without guns

and...

A samurai with no swords.

Team up to defeat...A common evil.

What's wrong?

You don't wanna be just paper

tiger, huh?

You both fail to understand the

symbolic element...

Of good versus evil enhanced

through the embodiment...

Of the most ancient of human

desires.

Which is what?

To be the most powerful motherf***er

on the face of the planet.

There's no such thing.

There's always someone more

powerful than you.

That is a smart smart line coming

from a young young mind.

But, I was speaking metaphorically.

People need someone to look up to.

A hero is not always the strongest

man.

Sometimes it's just the guy who

leads the way.

Sometimes it's just the guy who

serves the drinks.

I used to believe that once and it

nearly cost me my life.

What happened?

You're still alive.

He took pity on me.

Recon circumstances.

But I went from alive and kicking

to alive and limping.

- And it taught me a great lesson.

- Great lessons.

Are often found in defeat.

Love is temporary.

Hope is eternal.

There is no hope, everything is a

circle.

You know...Life is not all about

fighting.

Come on now, you know that ain't

true.

I can see it in your eyes.

So...

Guess we're up.

I can't loan you the money.

I'm sorry.

These are tough times to trust a

stranger.

But let me warn you.

If you get in my way before I
