Takezo, don't you dare hide!
I failed in Kyoto, but I've traveled far!
Heaven's help is slow but sure!
I'll get your head today!
Feel the blade that
has divine protection!
She's dressed to die! And means
to avenge her son and his wife!
I'm a man!
I side with the underdog!
Move aside!
A Shogunate messenger!
Proprietor.
I'm Kimura, Lord Yagyu's steward.
Is Musashi Miyamoto in?
Tell him I'm here.
Lord Yagyu?
If you're here on business, I'm ahead of you.
My business with Takezo comes first!
I won't leave without revenge!
Revenge?
Wrong man. Be quiet.
You'll get yourself executed!
What're you doing?
The great Lord Yagyu
refuses a match with me?
Did he give a reason?
It's contrary to the rules
of his fencing line.
Lord Yagyu is a daimyo.
I'm only a masterless samurai.
But...
the way of the sword
transcends social position.
My lord has heard of your famous name.
But the Yagyu Family
instructs the Shogun.
engage in private contests.
But this is a form of training...
No!
The cardinal principle
of the Yagyu School...
The sword is not used in martial arts.
It's use is to preserve
order in the land.
And so must never be used
in personal competition.
The Yagyu sword
is not a sword of destruction.
Destruction?
The Yagyu sword
is the agent of the Shogun.
Which also means it must always work
for the good of the country and the people.
proving his skills.
With pen and sword he prepares daily
by his country or the people.
A sword prepared to die...
For whom?
SOUL POLISHER KOSUKE ZUSHINO
Excuse me!
Welcome.
Something you'd like?
Polish my sword.
May I see it?
How do you wish me to polish it?
So it will cut cleanly.
I cannot polish a sword
in this condition.
Please take it elsewhere.
You feel it's not worth polishing?
No, no. Your sword's a Hizen
make and a fine sword.
Why then?
Didn't you see my sign outside?
I polish swords
that are a samurai's soul.
I don't polish ordinary swords.
This blade's nicked in many places
can't be wiped away.
Excuse me, but it's a blood
thirsty sword.
It's only been used to slay people.
You're displeased, aren't you?
Swords are primarily to preserve the peace.
They're divine agents. They ward off evil.
Leaders of men follow the sword
more as a self-discipline than to fight.
So they're called a samurai's soul.
Look at this sword.
How is it?
Keen...
I feel the owner's tension.
It has sucked blood.
It's rusty, but it's not nicked.
a samurai's soul.
The blade's three feet long.
To wear a sword such as this...
He must be very tall...
or very strong.
Slings it across his back, I heard.
I'm keeping it for Lord
Hosokawa's Chamberlain Iwama.
his guest, I believe.
Kojiro Sasaki.
Please, have some more.
Did I go too far today?
No, no, everyone was
greatly impressed.
Our lord was also pleased.
I'm proud to have recommended you.
So?
You see...
Chief Chamberlain Sado Nagaoka.
He's recommended Musashi Miyamoto
very strongly.
Musashi Miyamoto?
Our lord will see him.
And then decide whether
to employ you or not.
Omitsu...
I withdraw!
I refuse to serve Lord Hosokawa!
Kojiro!
To think I'd be compared
to a man like Musashi.
I'm regarded very cheaply.
Now, now. I expressed it badly.
There's no way I'd compare you to Musashi.
However our lord is trying to save
face for the Chamberlain.
Our lord is very wise.
He will know who's the better man.
Cheer up and drink.
- Omitsu, pour for him.
- Yes.
I would never want to make trouble
for your kind father.
I'll reconsider.
You know Musashi?
What's your opinion of him?
There are not many men like him.
Few men are as smart.
Being too polite is
a disservice to our lord.
It's said Musashi challenged Yoshioka
solely to gain fame.
Sometimes a masterless samurai
is forced to use extreme means
to seek notoriety.
A swordsman
can not bear to see
his skill go to waste.
services to a worthy lord.
Musashi gained notoriety
to achieve this same purpose?
Is Musashi swordsmanship
really strong?
He's an expert.
But only in the art of living.
Kyo-ryu Yoshioka was a strong swordsman.
But his successors were like
decayed trees.
Musashi helped them fall
by pushing them down.
Some praise Musashi,
and make the claim
that he's the strongest swordsman seen
since Sekishusai Yagyu.
Didn't he take on more
than seventy Yoshioka men?
He did so using underhanded tricks.
Arriving late,
he attacked from the rear.
He killed his opponent,
a small boy.
And beat a hasty retreat.
Musashi.
I am honored to be received
for your audience, Sire.
Seats for them.
I have heard about you.
You beat a hasty retreat?
Fools are as many as wise men.
Rumors vary.
I see.
I hear you both wish
to serve me and my clan.
What are your reasons?
It is the perfect place for the
best swordsman in Japan to die.
This is a nice place to die?
Yes, Sire.
You too?
Yes.
Two outstanding swordsmen are here.
But I do not need
two fencing instructors.
Sado.
Iwama.
What shall I do?
Begging your pardon.
Two best men are inconvenient.
I would be pleased to settle it
to be allowed a match.
Musashi?
Please excuse me
from engaging in a match.
Musashi!
Why?
Not afraid, by any chance?
To be honest
I do not wish to serve a lord.
Am I unsatisfactory?
No, Sire.
I am unsettled and immature.
I am not certain that
I could serve you
at the level you deserve.
Sado,
you recommended him,
but he's not interested.
I was anxious to present him to you.
I did not mention service to Musashi.
You didn't tell him?
I see!
Musashi...
I'm honored to have met you.
I too.
Service apart
we should have a showdown once.
This is a good chance.
Let's decide the day and time.
Only
it seems to be your rule
never to arrive on time.
When the right occasion arrives.
Is that necessary?
I see.
You have matches with only
the men you can defeat?
Kojiro Sasaki...
I make you our instructor.
Thank you, Sire.
Musashi Miyamoto...
When you want a match
with Kojiro, come to Kokura.
Takezo!
Return Matahachi and Otsu to me!
You inhuman wretch!
Have you no ears?
I'm asking you!
Let me kill you!
SOTOKUJI TEMPLE, OTSU
Excuse me.
Is Priest Takuan,
the head priest, here?
Yes, he is.
Takuan is still the head priest.
Announce me to him.
I'm Musashi Miyamoto, a masterless
samurai from Sakushu.
- Tak?
- Mata?
What happened to you?
As you can see,
I came here with priest Takuan.
A monk?
This is a surprise!
I've renounced the world.
I'm training to be a Buddhist priest.
Fine, but your old mother?
Don't ask me that.
She died by the roadside somewhere?
I pray for her soul.
Nonsense!
She's in Edo.
In Edo?
My mother?
Don't neglect her!
