Grenadier: The Beautiful Warrior (2004–2005): Season 1, Episode 11 - Showdown with Tenshi - full transcript
GRENADIER
Carving my footsteps
in the amber colored road...
... I've finally come this far.
I keep my eyes on the road ahead.
Only time moves faster than me...
... I look back, and
the road behind me shines blue.
The flames of all the lives
I've encountered...
I wish I could hold them in my arms
So that we don't get swept away
by this great river...
... I want our hearts to be one.
We're all travelers, after all.
You...
We have been waiting
for you, Rushuna Tendo.
You have earned yourself the title
"Grenadier" as the topmost Senshi.
Grenadier
I am a Grenadier?
Episode 11
Showdown with Tenshi
I don't deserve a title like that.
Oh, do you disagree?
Yes.
The Blade Bard Senshi, Sanzo Souma...
...the Gaifu-Senjyutsu Senshi,
Teppa Aizen...
...and the Enchanting Snow Dance
Senshi, Fuuka Shirato...
...Suiro, Shinnoshin Hakubi...
You defeated four Juttensen.
I just stripped their armor off them.
No...
The name of she who killed them has
spread through the imperial courts...
...and even beyond the
borders of our nation.
That name is Rushuna Tendo.
Wait a second.
That name is Rushuna Tendo.
I haven't killed anyone.
We know what you did.
There's no use trying to deny it.
I'd like an audience with Tenshi.
You are a Grenadier who killed these
Juttensen, Tenshi's personal guards.
Do you think we will let
you near her so easily?
I am not her enemy.
I cannot believe what you're saying.
Rushuna...
Thank you, Teppa, but I'm okay.
Please don't shoot.
I don't want to shoot you.
Will you believe me now?
Rushuna.
We do not wish for you to
be our enemy either, so...
Come.
Tenshi will determine the
fate of our new arrivals.
I'm not the scary woman
you all think I am.
Rushuna, please be careful.
Tenshi has retired for the day. You'll have
an audience with her tomorrow.
This will be your room.
Who are you?
People call me Kaizan Doshi.
Are you the Jester?
Forgive my repeated discourtesies.
All is in accordance with Tenshi's ideals.
Tenshi's?
That will all become clear tomorrow.
Please rest tonight.
It's been sealed off.
I guess they wouldn't leave
the passage open, would they?
What should I do?
Jeez, what am I going to do?
There's no way I can go to sleep.
Tenshi...
Did Tenshi really change?
If she did...
No, there's no way...
There's someone
watching me, isn't there?
You must be bored.
Won't you have a chat with me?
You don't like talking?
That smells like a bath.
What a cute tub.
I wonder if it got there okay.
Huh?
Where is this?
Is someone there?
I don't need anything.
It's going to get cold tonight.
You should go home and get warm.
I am a swordsman named Yajiro Kojima.
I have a reason for passing through here.
A swordsman? You are not
someone from the Imperial Court?
What are you doing here?
What?
I don't know. I've been
imprisoned here for months.
Your name?
I have not been called by my name
since ascending the throne.
Are you Tenshi?
It's you, you're Tenshi, aren't you?
You have a very rough
manner of speaking.
You... are you... you must
be Tenshi, Her Highness...
You needn't try so hard.
This is making me crazy.
It's like talking to Rushuna.
Rushuna?
Do you know Rushuna?
You out there, won't you join me?
I'll scrub your back for you.
Any change?
No, sir. Nothing at all.
Let me know if she makes any moves.
Yes, sir.
Let me know if she makes any moves.
Oops...
Um, excuse me.
Damned Yajiro.
Yajiro Kojima, I remember you.
You are traveling with Rushuna.
Yes.
Have you come to kill me?
No.
I heard that you were one of the rebels.
My thinking has changed while
traveling with Rushuna.
I see.
Then why are you here?
You ordered the assassination of
Rushuna. I want to find out why.
Assassination?
I would never do such a thing.
I thought so.
It's his doing.
Him? You mean Kaizan Doshi?
Three Years ago
He appeared right after
I succeeded my father.
A feudalistic plan?
Yes, it is a secret plan the deceased
emperor and I have been working on.
By placing a warlord in each territory,
we can gain control of one area at a time.
I do not wish anything that
will cause blood to be shed.
I understand your philosophy,
but that will take too long.
There are rumors that rebels
in Tento are making plans.
We have not a second to waste...
Ideals take time to realize.
We have not a second to waste...
Ideals take time to realize.
Rushuna and Touka...
And there are others too.
More and more people were
understanding my thinking.
And that was a problem for them,
so they locked you up here.
I imagine so.
Now I get it.
Damned Yajiro.
Wake up.
What kind of dreams were you having?
Please forgive me.
I guess she didn't feel the need
to rifle through your clothes.
I'm sorry! I'll go find her right away!
That's not necessary.
I know where she is.
It's been so long.
Erase the enemy's will to fight.
First, you need to smile.
Smile?
I still don't understand that very well.
You just have to remember what it feels
like to see these beautiful flowers.
If you remember the
fragrance of these flowers...
...a smile will come
to your face, naturally.
The ultimate fighting strategy...
This is where she taught it to me.
It hasn't changed a bit.
I'm sure Tenshi hasn't changed.
Rushuna? Is that you, Rushuna?
I've been waiting for you, Rushuna.
Tenshi!
Tenshi!
Tenshi!
Rushuna, you're back safely.
Yes.
You've been through many hardships.
About the order to assassinate you...
Please understand. Everything is part
of a plan to put these wars to an end.
Plan
The world is covered by dark clouds.
I have come to realize
that the only way to...
...dispel the darkness, is to
rely on those with strength.
But...
No, it's true.
Of course, blood should not be shed.
However, the people have been
waiting for a strong person.
I had to prove to them
that this person existed.
Rushuna, that's you.
I sent you out into the darkness
and ordered your assassination.
To spread the name of "the
Grenadier," it was essential.
Then what about the
ultimate fighting strategy?
After installing warlords in the
territories, and gaining control...
...we will exhibit our strength in a way
that will make even the warlords cower.
That is the ultimate fighting strategy
that will erase the enemy's will to fight.
B-But...
Oh, it's been so long.
This is my bedroom.
Now isn't the time for this.
Huh?
I mean, uh... don't you agree?
You don't need to try so hard.
Anyhow! We need to find Rushuna now.
You don't need to try so hard.
Yes.
Forgive me, Tenshi...
But through my travels, I've learned...
...that by being unarmored...
...by smiling...
...by holding your enemy to your bosom...
...and sometimes, by stripping
your enemy of his armor...
When you can achieve that,
your enemy understands.
There were others who lived by
these teachings of yours as well.
But you can do it without force.
It may be one step at a time, one person
at a time, but it can change the world.
So I'd like to continue doing it this way.
Please, try to understand!
Is that so?
Yes.
Is that so?
And that's why I cannot
accept the title of "Grenadier."
Even though it's a title I've given you?
Yes.
Why are you so insistent?
Because you're not Tenshi.
What are you saying?
You are Tenshi's double.
Setsuna Onmidoh
You are Ms. Setsuna Onmidoh.
I thought my act was perfect.
How did you know?
No matter how much her thinking
may change, Tenshi would...
...never break off a tree branch.
You know since you went through
the same training as I did...
...that it takes a long time
to become Tenshi's decoy bodyguard.
I changed my appearance and
learned how to speak like her.
But a single branch...
I'm sorry about that.
Fool!
You are but one person rising up
against us! What can you accomplish?
Someone! Is anyone there?
Rushuna Tendo has
threatened me! Shoot her!
Stop right there, Rushuna Tendo!
You insolent woman,
attempting to take Tenshi's life!
Wait a second, there's been a mistake!
Shoot her!
What are you doing, shoot her!
She's unarmed!
That's her strategy. You have no idea
what she may be hiding in her bosom!
Shoot her!
Even if they are skilled marksmen,
it will be easy to dodge their bullets.
No matter how many bullets there are,
there is only one target.
I can't wait anymore.
I'm going to go ahead!
Here they are!
It's begun!
Rushuna!
Hurry.
There are too many of them.
What should I do?
The peach tree!
Teppa!
Rushuna, hold on to this.
Teppa, she's not Tenshi.
She's an imposter.
Got it!
Damn you, Teppa Aizen! After him!
Where is her revolver?
Here, sir.
Don't let go of it!
Yes, sir.
Hold on, Rushuna!
I'll take this!
Damn!
Please stop running.
I don't want to fight you.
Please tell me...
Where is the real Tenshi?
It's over.
I guess there's no need
to tell you anymore.
Tento is already mine.
I will win this!
Huh? Wait! What is that?
Don't be fooled! That's her strategy.
But... look!
Something's coming.
It's a missile!
Look closely!
Someone is on it!
No!
You...
Touka Kurenai.
Ms. Touka!
Surprised, Rushuna?
Yes!
I got here without
losing my breath.
Banmaru made it for you?
That's right.
Touka Kurenai...
This woman is the enemy, Rushuna
Tendo!
Tenshi is mistaken.
Rushuna's enemy is my enemy.
She's Ms. Setsuna.
I see.
We have another person who has
betrayed Tenshi. Show no mercy!
Listen!
This man imprisoned Tenshi and this
woman has disguised herself as Tenshi.
Silence!
Watch out for that weapon.
I've been on the receiving end of it.
Rushuna!
Take this!
Damn you!
I have such wonderful friends.
Fools!
Is it your plan to defeat us and lead Tento
...no, the world... into a state of chaos?
I believe that with the teachings
Tenshi has passed on to me...
...the fighting can be brought to an end.
Where is the real Tenshi?
Do you think she's alive?
What?
She's alive!
Yatchan!
Tenshi!
Everyone!
Kasumi!
Get back, Yajiro.
Tenshi!
Don't move.
One look away, and no one will
be able to tell the difference.
Let's do this again. Let's go.
Setsuna, why are you doing this?
Silence! Come!
You should always save
one trick up your sleeve.
You dirty bastard.
It's all to gain power
over Tento, no... the world!
This was once your dream too.
Join me again, Yajiro!
I'll take your words as a
farewell gift and go to my death.
You stupid fool!
Goodbye!
I can't believe I'm protecting
such an ugly person.
Bastard!
Thanks, Teppa.
Rushuna, I'll deal with this. You go.
Okay!
So boys, are you going to attack me?
I'll take you on whenever you like.
Yatchan!
Yo!
I will rescue Tenshi, no matter what!
Kaizan Doshi!
I promise I will...
I will strip him of his armor!
Yes!
All alone,
so many nights I want to cry.
Everyone dreams on
the road of the endless journey.
Always believe in something,
and always lose something.
I hold you.
All the tears I shed
will turn into kindness.
I'm sure.
Don't be defeated by sadness.
Keep your eye on tomorrow.
You're not alone.
Everyone has dreams to come true.
The winds of tomorrow will bring
the fragrance of kindness.
It's a promise...
I'll always be by your side.
Next Episode
Tenshi... Teppa saved me.
Ms. Touka shares the same ideas we do
and I think Mikan understands now, too.
And even Yatchan, who
was so set against you...
People are changing,
though it may be one by one...
...they have smiles on their faces.
