Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Gundoh Musashi - full transcript
Presented by hwat fansubs
The seventh month of 1600 AD, or Keicho 5.
Charging Tokugawa Ieyasu with thirteen articles of impeachment,
Ishida Mitsunari sent messengers to various daimyo in the name of the Toyotomi clan,
telling them to raise armies.
At the same time, beings seeking to end the period of turbulence
and build a kingdom to last a thousand years
were about to awaken from a thousand-year sleep.
And then...
On the fifteenth day of the ninth month, at Sekigahara,
the Eastern Army of Tokugawa Ieyasu clashed with
the Western Army of the Toyotomi clan and Ishida Mitsunari.
As a result of the performance of Kobayakawa Hideaki's troops,
the Western Army of the Toyotomi clan and
Ishida Mitsunari achieved a sweeping victory,
bringing what should have been
three hundred years of peace to the world.
You should all be quite familiar with this story...
In the capital, in this period of peace under unified Toyotomi rule,
one adventurer was about to rise up with fortune on his side.
Excuse me!
Yoshioka Dojo
What business do you have here?
...Musashi, I will bring my elder brother's vengeance upon you!
We shall battle by the drooping pine at Ichijoji!
Challenge
He's late...
You're late, Musashi!
It's Musashi!
Musashi is here!
So you came, Musashi, like a moth to the flame!
Men! Vengeance for my brother is there for the taking!
Now!
Musashi, did you come alone?
Yep, just me.
Are you a fool?
Who knows, Denshichiro-dono.
I do enjoy taking on lots of enemies by myself...
...and winning!
This is a sleep bullet.
It can send someone to sleep for an hour.
Sleep bullets, huh?
You have any swords that work without killing?
Ah, yes...
I have an electric sword that can simply knock people out.
What!?
Revolvers? What a dirty trick!
There are no "dirty tricks" in a battle.
Anyway, I don't have time to waste on these boring fights.
I want to get this over with.
B- Boring!?
B- Boring!?
You call it boring for two warriors to cross swords and do battle?
Yep, it's completely boring, to me.
I have way more important things to do!
Like what?
Castle-taking!
What!?
Capturing castles!
Why don't you give it a try too, instead of sticking with that weak swordfighting?
It's pretty fun!
Upstart!
You would insult the warrior's way!?
If you have a scrap of chivalry within you, you should be ashamed of such banditry!
You sure are hardheaded, for a young guy like you.
Oho, is that so?
Babble on...
...all you want!
Wh- Wha!?
Wh- Wha!?
Why, you—
Where do you want to get shot?
Right or left?
Head or stomach?
Well, then...
Stomach!
There's Osaka for you, the Toyotomi headquarters.
Musashi-dono, I urge you to reconsider.
You again? You're persistent, Danjo-san.
How many times have I said no by now?
But the castle—
Come on, give up!
No one is more suitable than you to protect the princess!
What are you talking about?
You're doing a nice job yourself, Danjo-san.
And that princess is...
However...!
In the first place,
isn't it weird to ask a castle-taker like me to protect a castle?
It just isn't right.
It is precisely because you have conquered over thirty castles by now that I request this of you!
Anyway, my answer's still no.
I'm sorry, but pass that on to the princess, will you?
Musashi-dono!
They may be assaulting the castle again at this very moment!
If you would please lend us your strength!
Princess.
Danjo?
Yes.
How went it?
Excuse me.
Did you meet him?
My deepest apologies. I was unable to persuade him.
Did I not say it?
The man called Musashi could bring us success,
but he will surely refuse.
Yes.
However, the time will come when Miyamoto Musashi's power shall become necessary.
We must have him to overcome the ayakashi.
Goodness, we have entered a strange world.
Thanks to our Western Army's victory at the Battle of Sekigahara,
we have finally achieved the deepest wish of our late regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi-sama
and established Toyotomi sovereignty, but now this happens...
It was just after the war that the ayakashi began to appear in this world.
Could it be that the defeated Tokugawa have sent the ayakashi?
I do not know. That may be the case, or it may not be.
The moon is full tonight.
Tighten the guard of the castle.
Of course. The preparations have been taken care of.
But still,
things have taken a troublesome turn.
Musashi-dono, is it?
'Sup?
What a coincidence this is.
It's been a while, Ronin-dono.
You have a job?
Yep.
Which castle will you take next?
That one.
It's finally come to this? Osaka Castle.
The stronghold of the shogunate.
Have you finished preparing?
Nope.
What?
Oh, well.
If there's time, we can come up with a plan.
So, when are you doing it?
Tonight.
What are you—
You're going to enter the castle of the shogunate without any preparation?
Have you lost your mind?
Well...
I didn't expect I'd be going after it until later,
but it's just so annoying.
Annoying? What is?
It's annoying for someone else to take
what you've marked as your own prey!
What?
So tonight, someone else is going to
try to seize the castle...
Really?
No doubt about it.
The conditions are perfect for an attack tonight.
Who could this other castle-taker be?
Sasaki Kojiro, it must be?
Ronin! How many times have I told you not to say that name in front of me?
I know! I know! You didn't like Kojiro's name!
You said it again!
- I'm sorry! Sorry!
Don't say it again, Ronin.
Thought I was going to die...
But anyway, regardless of your skill,
Osaka Castle is currently occupied by the Toyotomi clan.
Taking it will be quite difficult.
Of course it will.
So, who is it?
No human alive would try to seize Osaka Castle.
They aren't human.
Then the spirit realm? Ayakashi!?
I won't let the ayakashi take it.
No irregularities?
None.
Understood? Do not let even a single mouse in.
Yes!
Those ominous clouds, and this moon...
Red, the color of blood.
Princess.
So here you are.
Come at me!
All of you will meet the same end.
Splendid.
As expected of you.
You have improved.
Tonight, I will not hold back as I did before.
Yasha!
A mere human cannot cut me.
Wh- What!?
Wh- What!?
What!?
I thought that might be the case!
How about this, then?
Oh?
You use an onmyouken?
How will it be this time?
So he is no ordinary samurai?
Perhaps.
Then I will treat you as such.
Princess!
Curses!
Silence!
You will remain quiet.
You! What did you do? I can't move!
Ryougen-sama is waiting. Resign yourself to it.
I will not become the bride of an ayakashi!
I'll be taking your princess.
No! Return her!
Return her! Bring her back!
What happened to the guards?
A carriage here in the forest, and ayakashi.
There must be something up.
And yet...
While I heard an ayakashi was going to take the castle,
your only target was the princess?
I didn't even have to come here.
Where are my subordinates?
They left.
Is that so? It seems you're a bit capable.
Well? Who are you?
Musashi.
My name is Miyamoto Musashi!
Miyamoto Musashi...
I have not heard of you.
I am Ronin.
Can you stop me?
Hm, I wonder.
Shall I give it a try?
Let us begin.
I see you also have strange sword technique.
What is its name?
Nenken: Meiretsu.
Too weak!
What was that?
Now things are interesting.
This is tough. Let's do this, Musashi!
What?
You...
Onmyoudan bullets, designed for ayakashi.
I talked an old inventor into selling them to me.
Guess they work pretty well.
Not good enough!
Take this!
Ow!
The final blow!
What!?
I got this for Musashi. Danpasen.
Here I come!
Quite impressive.
But not on the level of Sasaki Kojiro!
Don't say that name!
I hate that name!
I, Gundoh Musashi, will not let ayakashi like you have your way!
Curses...
I will relinquish this battle.
Farewell!
Feels like we barely won.
Yeah. He was really strong.
Now, what to do about this unruly princess?
Leave her alone. Danjo's here.
Princess Kaguya!
Princess!
Princess!
See?
So he is.
Musashi. I've finally found you.
I'll kill you this time!
No point, you know. Just give up.
He found me?
My aim is flawless! I won't miss!
Women are stubborn no matter what country they're from.
Don't look down on me, the great Desperado!
I don't fight women!
Why do you keep following me?
I hate this! He ran away again!
Don't run!
Stupid, of course I'm gonna run!
Last night, how did I...
You don't remember?
I was unable to protect you.
I am deeply sorry.
Miyamoto Musashi...
I'm sure that Musashi-dono...
I can tell.
He... Musashi-dono was the one who saved me.
Musashi. Which castle will you take next?
The castle of the ayakashi.
But first...
First?
I'll need training.
They're strong.
And I owe Yasha some payback.
Miyamoto Musashi...
I will remember you.
Just you wait!
In my natural, unadorned style,
I'll tell you these feelings of mine
Together to the sky past the darkness!
All we need to do is spread our wings and fly!
Baby, we'll send time flowing forward just a little,
and we'll embrace even the harsh gusts of wind
with sympathy for pointless worries
and a melody that will overcome the pain
If the poison of the flower that bloomed in my cupped hands
has managed to pierce through the center of my heart...
In my natural, unadorned style,
I'll tell you these feelings of mine,
Unraveling this puzzle of the heart
I'll bring out every part
of your unchanging style
Together to the sky past the darkness!
All we need to do is spread our wings and fly!
Time for training!
I will master gun-dou!
