Miyamoto Musashi Page #6

if Kojiro loses?

I only care for the clan.

We'll kill Musashi and say

they killed each other.

Can he be killed so easily?

Magoshiro's men are hiding

behind the enclosure.

If he escapes to the sea

Kojiro's men will stop him.

They will overturn the boat

and sink him in the sea.

It's about time to go.

Please tell me

when you're ready to leave.

Your clothes...

sash...

and everything you need

are in the next room.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Is it ebb tide?

No, not quite yet.

Ebb tide these days

is around 10 a.m.

10 a.m?

The boat?

Yes. I chose an especially fast one

from among the many boats.

Keep it where it won't be noticed.

Very well.

Near the Heike pine tree then.

A beach about 200 yards

to the east.

You've been very kind.

I can't pay you enough.

I carved this Goddess of Mercy.

Please accept it as a keepsake.

Thank you.

I hope we can talk tonight under

the same lamp like last night.

Otsu!

Takezo!

You came here?

Are you alone?

Yes.

You went home?

Yes.

Elder Mother... died.

Matahachi, does he know?

No.

Otsu...

Takezo...

Forgive me.

A man may not be as cold

as he seems.

You're my only...

I know.

Forgive me!

Say one word - call me "wife".

After saying you understood

it's best left unsaid.

A samurai's wife must be brave!

She sends him off with a smile.

Especially, since he may never return.

Farewell.

Takezo!

Pretty late.

It's way past 8 a.m.

Arrival?

10 a.m...

Maybe even a little past 10.

Just right.

What's that?

Hikojima Island.

Chamberlain...

Why are men hidden in

the pine grove?

Insurance to ensure a win?

What about my pride?

It's stupid to fight like this!

I withdraw!

Kojiro...

You're our fencing instructor.

So what of it?

Calm down.

He's only a masterless samurai.

It's the Hosokawa Clan versus Musashi.

We can't afford to lose

to a mere ronin!

Think it over well.

Nonsense.

Needless consideration!

I'm certain to defeat him!

He's coming!

Musashi's boat!

Don't move!

I need no help.

Where?

Straight ahead.

Far enough.

If you go in too far,

you might hit a rock.

You're late, Musashi.

We do it here?

I'll kill you according

to the code of the sword.

I, Kojiro Sasaki,

will kill you, Musashi.

Poor Kojiro!

In a hurry to die?

What?

Victors never discard their scabbard.

You've lost already!

That's just nonsense.

Come.

What?!

None of them can catch us!

Tak, we came to pick up

your bones.

But we didn't see you.

Takezo won't lose.

Even if he wins,

he'll soon find a new enemy to fight.

Tak, what will happen to you

after this?

Sleep, sleep little baby.

Mother's cooking food.

In the big red bowl,

put the warm, soft rice.

On the wide, white plate,

put the steaming greens.
