Shogun Assassin Page #2

Synopsis: Long ago there was a great samurai warrior who served his Shogun honorably. The Shogun however grew paranoid as he became more and more senile. The Shogun sought to destroy all those who might stand to oppose his rule, and so he sent his ninja spies to the samurai's home. The ninjas failed to kill the samurai, but did kill his beloved wife. From then on, the samurai swore on his honor to seek out the Shogun and avenge the death of his love. The samurai roams the countryside with his toddler son taking on mercenary work for money until the final battle with the Shogun's three Masters of Death.

We need your help.

The men of our clan are proud

and dare to defy the Shogun

who's taxing us without mercy.

He takes 2/3 of our harvest,

and still think we cheat him!

That is why he has sent

his fanatical brother, Lord Kiru,

to infiltrate our brothers

with many ninja spies.

The Shogun's brother's methods

His ninja scours terrorize our people

by night with his supreme torturous methods.

Even now, they are probably

report him to Kiru.

But even worse, now the Shogun

is sending special escorts by ship

to bring Lord Kiru

safely home.

Three brothers are called

the "Masters of Death".

There are few who heard of them.

One brother uses the claws.

Another fight with a club.

The third uses nailed fists.

Together, they've killed many men.

We beg you, kill Lord Kiru

before they escort him across our borders.

You have our unworthy prayer

for the success of your mission.

We hope you will not fail.

The future of our clan

depends on you

When we're on the mission,

I keep count of how many ninjas

my father killed.

He says not to keep count

Always to pray for

their souls.

But if I don't keep count,

I don't know how many

souls to pray for.

So I keep count.

So far it's 342.

Daigoro!

I am the Supreme Ninja!

Father, are you cold?

We've met Lone Wolf.

Now may I suggest you put

your troops against him.

He fought and killed

all but two of them!

So what happened to your swordsmen

will happen to you too, next?

Sorry, but your women are

all dead.

This is intolerable.

He intimidated you.

Don't worry, we are very

sure he'll lose his power

when he's without his son.

So you see, the little boy

is the way to him.

Daigoro ...

Prepare to die, Lone Wolf!

Shameless thieves!

You torture my boy.

The well is very deep.

Surrender now, or your

boy will drown.

Cheer up, Lone Wolf.

I refuse.

It is a certain death.

Throw away your sword.

Kill him if you dare.

It doesn't weaken me.

My son and I ...

already have embraced our fate.

Almost too heroic for one

without another son.

In the sight of death,

my son will not give up.

Ninja, now you shall see ...

You will wish you have been wiser.

Daigoro.

Soon you'll stand by your mother's side.

Understood?

Daigoro.

This was the first time

I ever saw my father

spare the life of an enemy.

He should have killed her,

but he didn't.

Maybe it's the way she looked at him

Maybe she reminded him of someone.

To find the Shogun's brother,

we had to take a ship.

It was fun.

But there are too many people

on the ship.

Too many dangerous people.

All aboard!

All new passengers, get out

your money, please!

Rebels.

The Shogun has many enemies.

Get rid of them, or the same

will happen to you.

Yes.

Now!

Yes!

With son?

Masters of Death ...

Scum!

Let me off at the next stop!

- Don't worry! I'll be the one they ha...

- Let me off!

- Do not do something!

- Do something!

Please!

It makes me sick!

Those swines will butcher anyone

who walks in their way.

It's just bad taste.

Never mind.

They'll never make it to shore.

I will seek to revenge.

Sorry to bother you.

Will you return my knife?

Very strange.

These cases are filled with oil

instead of soy sauce.

Someone plans to burn the ship?

Scum to drink sake!

I'll teach you to hurt

innocent people like that.

Good. Stay belong.

Beings from hell. Now you roast!

Fire!

Listen to me.

You are trapped with a child.

In case you escape,

you should know:

We recognize you. The Shogun will

never forget about what was.

We've sworn to deliver

Lord Kiru.

But we will not attack you, as long as

you make no move against him.

If you move, you will see some bloodshed

You'd be wise not

to follow us.

Even your mystic play is no match

to the Masters of Death.

Daigoro, be brave.

Daigoro.

There's no fire.

We must warm ourselves or die.

Hokeno. You saved me.

You are trembling.

More afraid of peace

than war?

We felt bad

leaving her there.

We knew she would have to

go back to the Shogun ...

And commit harakiri.

She was a ninja, and she

had failed.

We went on, looking for

the Shogun's brother.

They are here.

They must be near.

I sense the rebels,

I feel them somehow.

Where can they be?

Watching us.

No attack.

Be very careful.

So ...

We have our reunion.

Now we will show you

"Masters of Death."

Come on.

How could you throw your sword?

Your technique ... is ...

magnificent!

When cut across the neck...

a sound like wailing winter wind is heard...

I always hope to cut someone

like that someday...

to hear that sound ...

But have it happen to my own neck

is ridiculous!...

You can't touch me!

I am the Shogun's brother.

Out!

The Shogun is nothing to me.

Die!

I guess I wish it was different.

But a wish is only a wish!
