TOEI COMPANY LTD.

1651, UNDER THE REIGN OF THE

THIRD SHOGUN, TOKUGAWA IEMITSU.

Edo city is now crammed

with masterless samurai

and tramps from

other provinces.

And they are causing public disturbances.

Of course, this doesn't threaten the secure

government under Tokugawa lemitsu.

MATSUDAIRA IZOENOEKAMI NOBUTSUNA

CHIEF OF THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS

But putting this aside,

the conduct of these

rogues in our Shogun's own city...

may result in disgracing his leadership.

Chief Elder Matsudaira's orders!

Expel all the masterless

samurai and tramps

from Edo...

from this moment on.

Whether or not these retainers,

especially of extinct lords...

are now making trouble...

should be thoroughly checked.

Those who actively

oppose your investigation

or attempt to run away...

should be killed on the spot!

Now, the following places need

a strict masterless samurai hunt...

Are they here?

How foolish of them ...

to be caught in a

masterless samurai hunt!

Run!

Chief ...

HATTORI HANZO

His Excellency is dead!

It's the end of the world.

His Excellency is dead!

It's the end of the world.

SHOGUN TOKUGAWA IEMITSU

DIED IN FEBRUARY, 1651

Chief! Something is going on.

Lords were summoned

to Edo castle.

What?

They are rushing to the castle.

Sounds interesting.

Our chance has come at last.

Daimyo mansions will be short of guards.

All right. Let's go!

Intruders!

Look here!

Blame your extravagant life!

Be quiet!

I won't kill you.

Mortuary tablet!

Mortuary tablet!

Hey! You, sir.

How about...

...wearing this for once in your life?

Everybody tightens their purse strings.

Times are indeed bad.

Constables!

Constables are coming!

They are here!

Gather here, merchants!

I want all merchants

over here quickly.

Are you a merchant?

We will confiscate all the goods here.

Oh, no, please!

Enough!

Excuse me, sir.

What is it?

Thanks. Patrol this area.

Idiot!

You fool!

Are you selling stolen goods?

No, sir!

I'm only making a honest living.

Shut up!

LORD MITO, DEPUTY SHOGUN

HOSHINA MASAYUKI, LORD OF AIZU.

IEMITSU'S YOUNGER BROTHER

Lord Aizu...

I would like to know

how you are planning to

conduct government affairs.

What do you mean, sir?

Now that Iemitsu is dead...

you are his younger brother and...

an advisor to his son

and the heir to the Shogun.

You are the key man now.

Where is Lord Matsudaira?

Why didn't he attend the

council at this critical moment?

Lord Hotta has just submitted

his resignation to the Council.

Please allow me to follow

the late Shogun to the grave.

Thank you for everything.

Farewell, gentlemen.

AT 10 AM, LORD HOTTA FOLLOWS

THE LATE SHOGUN TO THE GRAVE.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER,

LORD ABE ALSO COMMITS SUICIDE.

I hear that Lord Hotta and

Lord Abe followed the late

Shogun to the grave.

I see.

You may go.

Don't let anyone enter this room.

Understood.

Those who burglarize

the lords' residences and

cause a public nuisance...

are Iga ninja, after all.

Lord Naito!

I will behead you in a memorial

service to be held for the...

masterless samurai you have killed.

Wait!

I know you are Hattori Hanzo.

Hanzo, Iwould like you

to meet a certain person.

Who is it?

You will see.

Come to Ryotokuji Temple

at 10 tomorrow morning!

Come in.

Are you Hattori Hanzo?

Show me your face!

Behave yourself, Hanzo!

This is Lord Izu Matsudaira!

Lord Izu?

Anything wrong, Hanzo?

You are looking at me

as if you have seen a

ghost or something.

You are alive.

Yes, I am alive.

But I am only existing like a living corpse.

I must use an artifice

which will make me come back

to real power.

Won't you give me a hand, Hanzo?

You will get whatever you name in return.

Either money or a position.

Or both.

I will give you what you

would never be able to get...

in a lifetime the way you are.

What's my job?

Lord Aizu.

Kill him?

What's your answer?

The answer is no.

What?

I don't trust Shogunate people like you.

Watch you tongue, Hanzo!

Shut up!

How did you treat the last Hattori Hanzo?

You threw him away like

a rag after using him up.

We, Iga ninja, are not

idiots who have forgotten their grudge against you.

I see.

But Hanzo...

I have already told you

about such a serious matter.

Do you think you will be

able to leave here safely?

Sure...

I will manage to get out

of here without any harm.

RiniPyoiToh’Sha...

KaiiJiniRestuiZaiiZen.

RinaRyoiTohiShaiKaiiJiniRetsuiZai...

After persuading Hanzo...

I was planning to go ahead

with the help of both the Koga and Iga ninja.

But you are my only reliable support now.

We have got to kill Hanzo first.

How did it go, Chief?

Lord Izu is alive.

But word is out that he is dead.

And there was a monster there.

Monster?

He is all black from head to toe.

He may be Izo's tool,

but I wonder who he is.

Be quiet or you will be killed.

Who are you?

My name is Upper Hanzo.

Remember that.

Young Lord is only eleven years old.

There might appear men

who want to control him.

Then political turmoil will come next.

So don't rest on your position,

even if you earned it easily.

What are you after?

I came to sell my skills to you.

What do you want?

The reinstatement of the Hattori family.

If I refuse...

will you go to the others with my head?

The wise man knows how to wait

for a chance and select his master.

So I will leave you tonight.

The time will come when

you will need me badly.

Just keep your eyes open.

Don't tell me what to do.

I will see you again.

Long time no see, Upper Hanzo.

It's you, Lower Hanzo.

Where are you?

Come out.

Just keep walking.

Walk straight ahead.

Don't be arrogant.

What's your business in

a samurai's mansion?

Offering my services.

How foolish!

Are you still engaged in burglary?

So what?

I will steal whateverI

can from the Shogunate.

You think small.

What?

Now is the time of political disturbances.

Why not seize the whole country?

The whole country?

I gather Lord Aizu is our trump card.

If we assist him, in holding

the reins of the Shogunate...

we will be able to rule over the land.

Lord Aizu is also a Shogunate man.

I can't trust him.

You haven't forgotten

how the Shogunate treated OUR predecessor...

Have you?

You mean our father?

That's right.

Despite his services, the

Shogunate was harsh to him...

and caused him to die.

Both of our houses risked themselves for the Shogunate as spearheads.

And many died in their

struggles for the Shogunate.

But once peace reigned over the land...

they were neglected for

they knew too much.

That's enough!

Listen, Hanzo!

Never forget this humiliation.

I will protest to the Shogunate

against this injustice, with my death.

You must live and dedicate your life...

to the prosperity of the

Hattori with Lower Hanzo.

Hanzo! You haven't killed anyone yet.

Kill me now and inherit all

of the Iga ninja's fighting spirit.

Father!

Father!

Behead me, Hanzo!

Bring my head to the

Hanzo Gate and display it!

Hang it high on the Hanzo Gate.

Don't hesitate!

Behead me quickly, Hanzo!

Do it now!

Father!

Do a good job, Hanzo!

I have never forgotten my

father even for a moment.

I will avenge myself on

them in my own way.

The best way is to pair up

with someone in the Shogunate.

But you might parallel

our predecessor.

I am different from him

and I am sure I will succeed.

Won't you lend a hand?

I'm content to be a thief.

I will go my own way.

Suit yourself.

Hey, won't you come to my place?

Kohagi will be happy to see you.

Some other time.

I have got something to do.

I also have many followers

with the same aim in life.

Earn five ryo per head today.

I will make 10 ryo...

Have a nice day.

We are off!

What's wrong, Koroku?

They are all gone.

Why are you still here?

Go quickly, Koroku!

What's the idea?

Don't!

Stop it. Please!

Koroku, no! Please!

Stop it!

You fool! Stop it!

Stop it, Koroku! Please!

Please!

What's wrong?

Tell me what is wrong.

I wet my pants!

No! Stop it!

What did you do to Kohagi?

Nothing, Chief!

Brother, stop it!

Forgive me, Chief.

Don't hurt him.

Brother!

Sorry.

You idiot!

Are you all right, Kohagi?

You fool!

It's time to think about your future.

Right, Kohagi?!

You can't stay with us any longer.

I met Upper Hanzo last night.

You had better go to his place.

You like him, don't you?

What on earth have you been doing?!

The tramps in Edo just

keep growing in number!

Why can't you control them?!

If this job is too tough for

you, hand in your resignation!

But we are in mourning

for Tokugawa lemitsu.

And Lord Aizu has

forbidden any needless killing.

Shut up!

Disregard the orders!

Just do exactly as I tell you!

Who is that black monster

who works for Izu?

Nothing to say yet?

I will fix you so you

never say another word.

What's wrong?

What are you doing here?

Hey, what are you doing here?

Look! He is trying to speak!

Did you hear that?

He is Lord Naito!

He must be out of his mind.

Move away!

Unfasten the fetters!

We shouldn't have done that, Chief.

The cops are making a

frantic search for the culprit.

Chief!

He is right.

We had better leave Edo now.

Don't talk such nonsense!

We will be arrested soon.

Tens of thousands of

people live in this town.

That's why we are safe here.

That's right.

We are safe as long as

we slip in among the crowds.

I don't mind moving out

if you feel uneasy here.

Open the window, Koroku.

I have been unhappy

with that a long time.

The sight of the castle

cuts me to the quick.

Let's move out!

We are moving out, Koroku.

Go to Upper Hanzo’s.

Brother!

Okay?

Go to Upper Hanzo!

Go on!

Kohagi!

Who sent you here?

My brother told me to look after you.

What a man!

Can I stay?

Look Kohagi...

This isn't a place for a woman.

300,000 ryo is an

exorbitant sum of money.

Even leading Edo merchants like

us cannot raise the money easily.

You must do it.

How long do I have?

Within three days.

That's impossible!

Do you want to see hardheaded

Lord Aizu come to power?

He will issue a regulation on debt

cancellation once he comes to power.

Under the regulation, people will

be entitled to cancel their debts.

He's even planning to restrict the

prices of rice, salt and lumber.

But, if I come back to power,

there will be no problems for you.

I don't think the 300,000 ryo

is too much for that.

All right, Sir.

What are you planning to

do with the 300,000 ryo?

How you are going to contribute

the money is written here.

100,000 ryo to Lord Mito.

30,000 ryo to Lord Kishu

and Lord Owari respectively.

25,000 ryo to Lord Sakai.

25,000 ryo to Lord li.

25,000 ryo to Lord Izu Matsudaira.

Eat it up!

25,000 ryo to Lord Iga Naito.

20,000 to Lord Abe.

20,000 to Lord Nagai.

Is that all?

We will manage it.

Is the chief in?

He is upstairs.

Where do we go next?

Wealthy merchants will deliver

their money to some lords for Izu.

So we will steal it.

That sounds interesting.

But this job won't be easy

as our previous jobs were.

What do you mean2

I met the monster at Izu's mansion again.

Is he a Koga Ninja?

Yeah, his gang will be on the alert in anticipation of our attack.

We will have to beat them for Iga's honor.

Fight to the death.

Come up, everybody.

You idiot! These are the

deputy Shogun's goods!

Get away!

It was a trap!

Put out the fire!

Chief, this is hopeless.

There's no chance against them.

Shishido!

Ready!

Here we go!

Daigo!

RiniPyoiToh’ShaiKaiiJiniRetsuPZaiiZen.

Attack their left.

Chief!

Yamahachi!

OTAKIMURA, CHICHIBU PROVINCE

How can I pray for you2

Pray for the health of the new Shogun.

Because the young lord

is susceptible to sickness.

Certainly, Madam.

Chief, Kohagi's back.

Kohagi?

Kohagi.

What's the matter?

Tell me what happened!

Now, tell me!

Kohagi!

What's all this about, Upper Hanzo?

I brought her back to you.

What's wrong with my sister?

Brother!

Stay away!

Hanzo, listen to me.

Now, listen!

Stop it!

Chief, stop fighting!

Now stop it!

We have no time for a family fight!

Don't talk so big.

Brother!

I married her off to you.

Take her back to your place.

Now, listen to me!

No!

Hanzo!

How can I live in peace with

her when you are in trouble?

You badly need every hand you can get.

Is the Koga the enemy?

Their chief is Koga Shirobei.

He is a monster.

Koga Shirobei...

I will kill him.

It's no time for you to go on being a loner.

He will track the Iga ninja

until he exterminates them.

I will stand up to him.

I need your help.

In order to hold power under Aizu

we have to kill Izu and

Shirobei by any means.

I'm not interested in holding power.

But I will do anything in

the world to kill them.

Thank you, Hanzo.

What's Izu's next move?

He will kill Lord Aizu and

Lord Nagai, his roadblocks.

Sorry to have misunderstood you.

Kohagi!

TOKUGAWA IETSUNA

TOKUGAWA IEMITSU'S HEIR

I'm Nagai Shinano, a new

member of the Council of Elders.

It is a great honor and privilege

to accept the appointment.

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life...

for the successful completion of

your inaugural ceremony as Shogun.

Your Excellency...

Shinano, thank you.

Lord Nagai...

I am Jokai, I pray for the young lord,

to protect him from evil.

There is only one month left till

his inaugural ceremony as Shogun.

In order for him to complete it

successfully in the presence of the envoy.

Iwould like to propose

that he visit Nikko.

Would you please consider it?

Visit Nikko?

Yes. Before his inaugural ceremony,

the late Tokugawa lemitsu

went there to report it to

Tokugawa leyasu's grave.

That's why he became

such a distinguished Shogun.

His mother was greatly

impressed by his homage...

Lord Nagai, don't let Lord Aizu

attend the Council tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Council, tomorrow's Council...

Kill him who would become a

great obstacle to the Shogunate.

Kill him.

Let's talk over dinner.

Help yourselves.

In starting the new government...

Iwould like to enforce

strict official discipline.

Under the late Tokugawa lemitsu,

there were some...

who tried to enrich themselves

by taking advantage of his favor

and their position.

So at tomorrow's Council...

Shinano?

Lord Nagai, don't let Lord Aizu

attend tomorrow's Council.

Tomorrow's Council, tomorrow's Council...

Kill him who would become a

great obstacle to the Shogunate.

Kill him.

Lord Nagai, what is wrong?!

Wretch!

Are you out of your mind, Lord Nagai?!

Shinano, calm down!

My Lord! Please calm down!

My Lord!

Calm down!

Just keep quiet!

Keep this incident a secret!

Shinano died of a sudden illness.

Cover it in this way.

Understood?

My Lord!

Who is there?

You were trapped, weren't you?

What do you mean?

Lord Nagai didn't go mad.

It's an enemy trap to

discredit you and Lord Nagai

at the same time.

Who are you?

But Nagai couldn't have

doubleicrossed me.

Right.

But if there is a monster

who can drive him mad?

Who can it be?

Koga Shirobei.

A Koga ninja?

He must have cast a strange

spell over Lord Nagai.

Koga Shirobei has some

technique through

which he can control another's mind.

Was Nagai controlled by him?

And the one who controls

Shirobei is Lord Matsudaira.

Look...

Lord Matsudaira followed the

late Shogun to the grave.

He is still alive.

And eagerly awaiting a

chance to return to power.

Come on in!

I saw him alive.

Who is this?

Hattori Hanzo.

Hanzo?

And you are?

I'm also Hattori Hanzo.

What?

The Iga ninja have Upper

and Lower Hattori.

I belong to the Upper Hattori.

He is from the Lower Hattori.

The Upper lives like a shadow,

and the lower lives like grass.

The Upper lives with

nonininja under an alias.

The Lower rides the tide

and appears if he is needed.

I see.

I will hire both.

What do you want?

The reinstatement of the Hattori.

As Shogun's agents?

No. As direct retainers of the Shogun.

The first Hattori Hanzo was

entitled to receive 5,000 koku

as a direct retainer

of Tokugawa leyasu.

Cut it out!

But the second Hanzo was

demoted to the Shogun's agent.

And my father was ordered under

confinement for knowing too much.

He committed suicide in anger.

Now the Hattori family is

all in needy circumstances

without social status.

I will certainly grant your wish.

What about the other Hanzo?

What do you want?

Tell me your wish.

I don't know.

I'm a casual sort of person.

I will think about it after

I kill Koga Shirobei.

Let's go!

Here comes Lord Matsudaira.

Lord Aizu, I have just heard that

Lord Nagai passed away recently.

He was your rightihand man.

I'm terribly sorry.

What's the matter?

You look so pale.

In fact, I'm shocked.

I thought you, Lord Kaga,

and Lord Tsushima...

followed the late Shogun to the grave.

Who told you that?

Since the Shogun has passed away,

everyone is acting strangely.

So you came, Izu.

Lord Mito, I haven't seen

you for quite a while.

I'm glad you are in good health.

Lord Aizu...

I have something Iwant

to talk to you about.

Listen to me carefully.

In fact, I called Matsudaira

who was in mourning.

May I ask why?

I'm averse to the idea of

following one's lord to the grave.

I don't believe in sacrificing a capable

man for the sake of a cruel custom.

Nagai Shinano passed away suddenly.

It's high time Matsudaira

revived the position.

He will be of help to you.

I beg your pardon, sir.

I'm afraid I can't believe

that Lord Mito said that.

Zusho, silence!

But, my lord!

We are different from

those court nobles and

merchants in Kyoto.

We need to reiterate the

honored samurai spirit.

But if you ignore the samurai spirit

you will degrade the new Shogun

and shake the Shogunate

to its foundations.

Who is this?

Aoyama Zusho.

He was appointed as a

valet to our young lord.

Zusho, your story makes sense.

But, you are chained

to an olditime custom.

It's our duty to serve

the new Shogun after

his father passed away.

We must be loyal to the

new Shogun as his predecessor.

Serve the Tokugawa family.

That's the sincerest way of the samurai.

That's nonsense!

Zusho, behave yourself!

Damn Aizu...

He has guessed what happened

to Nagai and challenged us.

Shirobei...

We must take the next step.

Are you ready?

The young lord will go to

visit the Nikko Shrine soon.

THE NIKKO ROAD

Make way for the procession...

IMACHI INN, NIKKO ROAD

Sir Yata!

I was to wake up the

young lord when Ifound

his mother and the

housemaid were like this...

and the young lord was gone.

Zusho!

We were framed.

Matsudaira did this.

We must find him before

the Imperial envoy comes.

Koga Shirobei did it.

He plotted all this knowing the

young lord would stay here.

Where is the young lord?

I have no idea.

Where is Koga Shirobei?

I wish I knew.

Please, you are our only hope.

Get the young lord back.

Lord Hoshina is counting on you.

Someone used sleeping

incense and guided Shirobei.

There was a spy around our young lord.

What do you want?

Kohagi!

I brought her as I promised.

Let me take responsibility for her.

Good! I'm glad you have decided.

No. I need her help.

The young lord was kidnapped.

What?

I think Koga Shirobei did

it on Matsudaira's order.

I have no evidence yet.

But, someone guided

him from the inside...

To find out...

You need Kohagi in the castle.

It's vitally important to

get the young lord back.

I refuse!

Is Kohagi just a tool

to feed your ambition?

I'm not interested in

rising to the top like you.

We will kill Shirobei and

Matsudaira never the less.

Hanzo.

What?!

Brother!

I will go.

You may be killed!

I'm aware of that.

Kohagi is your wife anyway.

Do what you like!

Brother!

Have you been well, Father?

Young lord...

Where is my young lord?

Reverend Jokai has arrived, my lady.

My lady!

Leave her to me.

When the young lord is

found, she will be fine.

I will pray for her first.

I understand it is urgent.

Lord Aizu...

Is it true that the young lord

disappeared on his way to Nikko?

It is true.

Someone kidnapped him.

Lord Aizu!

Why did you hide such

an important crime?

If something happens to him...

I was worried that this

news could panic the people.

We are searching for him secretly.

Do you have any clue

as to where he could be?

No, not yet.

Sir Hoshina, you are at

fault for this gross blunder.

Take responsibility.

Kohagi!

Kohagi!

Kohagi!

Kohagi...

Chief!

RiniPyoiToh’Sha...

KaiiJiniRetsuiZaiiZen.

Chief!

Koroku!

Koroku!

So, you are a Koga ninja?

You killed my sister.

You are Koga Shirobei's

daughter, Chisato, aren't you?

Where's the young lord?

You scum!

KOHAGI

A Iga ninja attacked you...

Was it Hanzo?

You gave your body to him!

Kill yourself.

Slit your belly and...

die with your enemy's child.

You have tried to

overthrow the government.

The maids told me you did it.

Confess your guilt!

Where did you hide the young lord?

Confess!

It was a set up.

I know what you want.

You want to make me a

scapegoat for your crime.

You have committed a

fraud against the public.

You are a traitor who would

do anything for your ambition!

Hold your tongue!

You must be destroyed by

someone who cares about...

his country!

Silence, Zusho!

Wait, Matsudaira!

Kill him!

Wait, Matsudaira...

You will be judged before the lord...

and sent to Hell for sure!

”Lord Hoshina Masayuki...

”you are incapable of assuming your duty.

”Therefore, you are to be

released from that duty. ”

Shirobei?

I hid the young lord in the castle.

You moved him to the castle?

Don't worry, sir.

It's the most isolated part.

People are afraid to go there

and there are no guards.

It's the best place to hide him.

But, Shirobei...

how are we going to

reveal the young lord?

I'm worried that someone

will expose our plan.

We Koga ninja have devoted

our lives to you, my lord.

Don't lose your courage now.

There's nothing to worry about.

All we have to do is

proceed as we planned.

If you can't do it...

leave the matter of the young lord to me.

Chief!

Here comes Shirobei.

Shirobei!

Hold on!

Chief?!

Get back.

I'm glad the two Hanzo are here.

Shut up, villain!

I'm Lord Matsudaira's man.

What's wrong with that?

He will be number one soon.

The outcome is clear.

It makes no sense for the Koga

and Iga ninja to kill one another.

Why don't you make a pact with us?

What do you want?

I will get many treasures when

Matsudaira comes into power.

I will give you seventy

percent of it all,

if you withdraw from this right now.

It's too late.

I refuse.

We Iga ninja have our own pride.

You fool...

As a ninja, I only tried to save your life.

Shirobei, where is the young lord?

You insist on reaching him?

Go ahead and try to if you can.

He's in the castle turret.

The castle turret?

Stop it!

Shirobei tricked us.

He performed a clever trick

by hiding him in the castle.

Chief, what will we do?

Since Shirobei told us about the turret...

there must be many, many traps.

We must be very careful.

But we must rescue him at any cost.

There must be a way.

All right!

I don't know how this will turn out...

but we will do our very best.

Our best?

We will break the turret

if worse comes to worse.

What?

If we can't really beat them...

we will destroy the turret.

That is war.

Our enemy, the young lord, and all of us...

will die.

Senior, just remember this.

What we are risking our

lives for is notjust one boy.

We will plunder the

young Tokugawa lord...

and we will blackmail Matsudaira

and his lowilife creatures.

Ippei!

Tsukumo, you go first with Tochimaru.

Hide in the turret and

prepare to destroy it.

We have only five days before

the imperial envoy comes.

Don't make any mistakes.

We can't afford it.

Certainly.

Senior, you got it?

MARCH THE 18TH

MARCH THE 19TH, THE NEXT DAY

Not yet?

That's a tough turret.

It isn't that easy.

God! I have a toothache.

We can't wait any longer.

Wait a little while.

If we don't hear from them, we will go.

Chief!

Mimisuke!

Chief!

Did you do it?

Let's go!

Calm down!

Make sure everything is ready.

We will leave here one

after the other, quietly...

and we will meet in Myojin

woods in half an hour.

Who's there?

Chief!

Are you Koga Shirobei's daughter?

Die!

Let me kill her!

Chief!

What brings you here?

Why did you spare my life?

I am the one who killed Kohagi.

You would have to do it anyway

if you were ordered to do so

as a ninja must.

You are carrying my child.

I will never bear it.

Iga or Koga, the child is innocent!

You are my wife.

I wouldn't lie to you in

the name of our child.

I can't return to the Koga anymore.

You are planning to kill

yourself, aren't you?

Don't go to the turret, please.

You will never come back alive.

I don't want to die alone.

Wait!

If you and I die, there

will be no one to carry on.

You must survive by all means.

I pray I will see you again!

Chief!

I will leave the rest to you.

Chief!

Koga Shirobei?

You are a tough Iga ninja.

You made it this far.

Give us the young lord.

Take him if you can.

Destroy the turret! Bring it down!

Destroy the turret!

Don't be in such a hurry.

Destroy it!

Senior!

Hit it!

My world spins on even as you kill me.

So long as Matsudaira Izuino’Kami

holds the reins of power...

you will remain in total darkness.

Senior!

Forget about me!

Save the young lord!

Young lord...

The Imperial envoy and

his party will arrive soon.

I understand... It's time to go.

The young lord has arrived!

The young lord has arrived!

The young lord has arrived!

Intruder!

Get him!

Lord Matsudaira!

Lord Matsudaira!

Lord Matsudaira!
