Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Gun Road - 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...
Close to the territory of the Toyotomi Shogunate,
at the drooping pine of Ichijoji Temple in Kyoto.
To avenge his brother, Yoshioka Denshichiro and his school did battle with a man.
His name... was Miyamoto Musashi.
Wielding two revolvers and proficient in the art of gun-dou,
his strength lived up to the rumors.
Meanwhile, ayakashi targeting Kaguya attacked Osaka Castle.
The ones who saved Kaguya were Musashi,
and me, a master of the sword.
The powerful sorcery of the ayakashi leader, Yasha,
forced us into a heated battle,
but in the end, Musashi's gun-dou wounded him,
and the battle ended in a draw.
Gun-dou
Kyoto
This is it.
Who are you?
You knowingly enter Daitokuji Temple?
Of course.
Say, is there a master named Takuan here?
Oh, sorry for my rudeness.
You are an acquaintance of Master Takuan?
Nope, don't know him.
What?
I happened to hear that Master Takuan was the first person to master gun-dou in Japan.
I thought I'd try to get him to teach me a little.
Wh- What insolence!
Wh- What insolence!
This is no place for your ilk!
Leave immediately!
You... You know gun-dou?
Come on, I'm just looking for a teacher. Yeah?
Let me see Master Takuan.
We will not!
Settle down!
Continue your training exercises.
I apologize for my pupil's behavior.
No worries. Hey, are you Takuan-san?
Unfortunately, Master Takuan is currently not here.
Could you come back another time?
Eh? He's not here?
When's he coming back?
Well, I wonder. It could be tomorrow, or it could be in a year.
So basically, you're telling me not to come back?
Take my words as you will.
Not here? You're lying, aren't you?
I bet he's somewhere around here.
I cannot allow you to take one step further in.
See, he's here! You're bad at lying, mister.
You...
Hey, how about this?
If I can beat you, let me see Master Takuan.
How does that idea sound to you?
I can see you are confident in your skills.
Very well! I accept your proposition.
Now we're talking!
Ryougen-sama, I have returned.
I believe I have told you not to address me by that name.
My apologies for that.
Ryougen-sama.
Well, what of Kaguya? Where is the beautiful princess?
You couldn't possibly have failed to retrieve Kaguya?
Forgive me. There were obstacles.
How unusual, especially for you.
Who was it that stood in your way?
A practitioner of gun-dou, in possession of onmyoudan.
Gun-dou?
Was it Sasaki Kojiro?
No, it was a young one named Miyamoto Musashi.
Musashi?
Who is he?
By all rights, he should be a user of a
two-sword style called niten ichiryuu,
with which he has defeated
skilled swordsmen throughout Japan.
A swordsman unparalleled, or so he would have been.
In this world he is but an inconsequential bandit.
And you lost to that bandit?
Who is stronger between him and Kojiro?
In this world,
Kojiro is definitely superior.
However, in the other world, on a
western island a few years from now,
Miyamoto Musashi will make history as the one to defeat Sasaki Kojiro.
Oh?
Was my explanation satisfactory?
Do not ask me the obvious!
Understood.
Yasha.
Yes?
In this "other world" you speak of,
am I truly the one who will unite Japan?
Of course.
There, you won the battle at Sekigahara
and established your shogunate at Edo.
That is unmistakably the true history.
True, you say?
Then why do the Toyotomi rule in this world?
Why have I not conquered all of Japan?
From here, we shall return history to how it was.
It is for that purpose that we, the ayakashi,
are acting to grant your wish.
I leave it in your hands, Yasha.
If it is not done, I will have turned
my soul over to the ayakashi
and been reduced to a monster for nothing!
Ryougen-sama.
What is it?
The ayakashi are not monsters.
We are the most beautiful, most powerful beings in the world.
I urge you not to misunderstand.
I have a question!
What is it?
From which school of gun-dou do you hail?
School? Don't have one.
You have no school?
Yeah.
If I have to answer, I guess I'd call it "me-school".
Preposterous!
That is fine. Let us begin!
You do not know the etiquette of gun-dou?
Etiquette? What does that have to do with anything?
I cannot let one who does not even know the etiquette meet Takuan-sama!
Huh? Didn't you say that you'd let me see him if I win?
You have no school, and you are ignorant of ritual.
There is no way I would lose to you!
Begin!
Guns in both left and right hands!
He has two guns!
Could he be the Miyamoto Musashi of the rumors?
Oh, looks like I'm pretty famous.
Oh, so you are?
Then all the more, I cannot let you meet Takuan-sama!
Why's that?
You sneak into castles and work as a thief.
Do you really think Takuan-sama would meet with a villain like you?
Who knows, maybe he'll take a liking to me.
I think not!
Forged with the bone of ayakashi,
Meiretsu seeks its own kind.
Have they begun to move again?
Sir, I leave my payment here.
So the ayakashi have started to appear even in the city.
Have the barriers weakened?
Or are the ayakashi growing more powerful?
In any case, it's going to get harder to live in the city.
East! The temple Musashi was headed for is that way.
I shall follow.
That brat is better than we thought!
But his opponent is our instructor, the third-strongest in our temple.
There's no way he would lose.
It's not over yet!
It- It's my loss.
The instructor lost?
Unbelievable!
Keep your promise.
Let me see Master Takuan.
Very well. But it's not possible right now.
What?
Takuan-sama really is not present here.
If he returns, I will definitely arrange an audience for you.
I promise.
So please, I request you come back another day.
Well, that sucks.
What's this?
This strange atmosphere!
Is someone in this temple friends with an ayakashi?
Or...
maybe it's here to visit me.
Ayakashi are coming!
But Kyoto should be protected by the barrier!
Mother! Could we take a look at that shop?
No. They say that it sells strange, suspicious goods.
It's famous, with all the rumors around it.
Now, let's go.
Mister Dabinoji, what's this?
This? This is a sensor.
Sensor? Is it related to sensu fans?
Well, something like that.
Can this actually make wind blow?
It moved.
Eighty to the northeast...
Right around where old man Takuan is.
What is it, Mister?
Sorry, but the shop's closed for today.
Go on and take these home with you.
Sasuke, let's hurry.
Wh- What is that huge shadow?
Wh- What is that huge shadow?
Ayakashi! An ayakashi is flying this way!
For an ayakashi to step upon the sacred ground of gun-dou,
to enter our temple...
Punishment!
Air slashes...
I am Jijoda. Come and fight!
Prepare yourself, ayakashi!
Monster!
I told you, I am Jijoda, brat!
Step back, young one!
It looks like I'm his target.
I'd feel bad if I got any of you hurt.
Musashi, it seems that you're popular among the ayakashi.
What, are they all women?
I'll deal with all of these.
You go after that flying monster.
Thanks.
Sorry for the trouble, Ronin.
The interference is back again...
Musashi-dono's faithful underling!
Ninja among ninjas,
Ninjataro at your service!
Ninjagoro, today's no walk in the park.
My name is Ninjataro!
Not that I really care,
but you really should know the limits of your skill, Ninjashiro.
It's -taro!
He- He's so strong!
He- He's so strong!
So this is what he's been fighting all along...
He's going to crash into the temple?
Watch out! You there, move!
Holy crap! He must have hearing problems!
Run!
Man, I worry about you. Fine, then!
Just don't move a step from here!
Prepare yourself, monster!
Take this! Onmyoudan!
Whoa, so bright!
Musashi, run away!
Musashi!
Don't need to tell me twice.
Come on, old man.
What are you doing?
This is a nice gun.
I'll be borrowing these.
That old man is amazing.
He's fighting while falling.
Old man... You...
Are you Master Takuan?
Takuan is gone, isn't he?
But—
I like the look in your eyes.
Master Takuan, teach me your gun-dou!
I beg you!
I want to become stronger!
Strongest in Japan, no, the world!
Please!
Master Takuan!
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!
Hey, Takuan!
Come on, teach me gun-dou!
Geez!
That woman's trying to kill me again!
