Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 21 - Simultaneous Strike - full transcript

Presented by Strelizia subs

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...

I am in trouble!

What's up, Ieyasu Tokugawa aka Ryogen?

You really get it right for
our duet, old Dabinoji!

I have to fight Musashi!

It seems so.

I was happy to appear so
often in previous episodes...

but if I had known what
was waiting for me...

There is no rose without a thorn, you know.

Is Musashi the hero of this show?



From the title, it would seem so.

If I fight the hero, I will lose for sure!

Will I die in this episode?

Normally that's how it would
go in such a show, yes.

I don't want to die!
I don't want to die!

Do you still value life so much after becoming an ayakashi?

Clearly, you old bag!

But this show is not like other shows!

How do you know?

Well, this show does not respect any
classic conventions of storytelling.

In the beginning, the creators had many
problems that cannot be disclosed...

and had to change the
story as it was being told.

In other words, it is
possible that the fight...

between you and Musashi actually
conceals some unexpected plot.

Does that mean I may get out alive?

- I can't tell you that!
- Ouch!

EACH OTHER
SIMULTANEOUSLY STRIKING

Ryogen, I have nothing against you...

but if I want to get my hands
on the other demon gun...

I have no other choice...

I have to kill you.

Really?
Do you really want to kill me?

I'm dead serious.

Flammable bullet!

What are you doing?

What if the flames kill me?

Come on, get a little angry.

Let's get down to serious business.

Fox Laser!

Old Ryogen can fight!

I have the power of the ayakashi!

I can't believe it.

Given his appearance, I thought he
was just some buffoon in charge.

I thought so too, but this situation
forces me to rise above that.

No hard feelings, then!

Ah! Fox Shield!

You shot my shield!

He stopped it!

Shoot my shield too suddenly
and it will spill your guts out!

The shield will spit them back!

Let's have them fight for now.

I have a full house!

You are strong, Desperado!

You beat me again.

Not for nothing, I've been
playing poker since childhood.

Poker? That's an European card game.

It sure is.

I never lost at cards.

You have innate luck.

The wind is picking up.

How long do we have to
wait for Master Musashi?

Who knows.

Is Musashi okay?

Who knows.

And also, where did he go?

Who knows.

It's a distortion in space-time.

What does that mean?
Is Master Musashi coming back?

No, that's not it!

An ayakashi?

Doesn't look like an ayakashi.

Urashima!

Where is Musashi?

He disappeared with the artifacts!

Do you know where he is?

Musashi is fighting Ryogen
in a parallel space-time.

Ryogen?
Ieyasu Tokugawa?

Are you behind this?

More or less.

Urashima, what are you planning?

I would like to take you to the castle
where the fourth artifact is located.

You would like to take us there?

Monk Urashima!

Monk Urashima, please answer!

It seems nobody else is here.

Strange, we should have immediately arrived
at the fourth artifact's castle with Urashima.

Yet we are here by ourselves.

That means this place is the castle.

Really?

Be careful!

I'm gonna be crushed!

Thank you.

It was nothing.

Thank you.

Am I heavy?

Yes.

Maybe I should go on a diet.

Yes.

So this is the castle with the
fourth artifact Urashima mentioned?

I guess so.

And also, where did Urashima go?

Urashima, where are you?

Urashima, if you're going to
lead us, do it all the way!

I would say he is not here.

Yes.

Look there!

It will perhaps take us somewhere.

Let's find out.

We have nothing to gain
by staying here anyway.

Yes.

Hey, that's my line.

Princes Kaguya, look!

Let's investigate.

It's useless!

Here is my supreme
attack! Get ready!

Your supreme attack?

Special attack: Dance of the Fox!

Shake, shake, shake.

Pom pom pom, tremble,
pom pom pom, tremble.

I don't understand what's supreme about it.

Idiot, you let your guard down!

I was aiming for this!

Damn you, I was too nice!

No more games!

Special attack...

Viscous Fox!

Take a look at my Viscous Fox!

Don't underestimate me!

I'm not, but your attacks
seem a little strenuous...

I'm getting a little restless...

Kid, do you know why I was
nicknamed the Fox when I was Ieyasu?

I never heard that before.

Is that why you didn't laugh?

I hate people who don't laugh at my jokes!

Why would you want to make
people laugh during a fight?

- Dumbass!
- What?

Laughter is life!

I dedicate my whole life to laughter!

Eh, grandpa!

Are you really the warlord who wanted to unify the country?

Are they ayakashi?

But the castles with the artifacts
should have ayakashi barriers!

Who cares about that nonsense!

You see ayakashi before your eyes!

Yes. We'll just have to fight them!

Yes!

Princess Kaguya, ayakashi!
And there are four of them!

Calm down, Danjo.

I also have eyes.

What should we do?

It seems clear to me.

We have to fight them.

Ayakashi, on guard!

That one is pretty good!

Yin-Yang sword!

He's strong!

They do not move like ayakashi at all!

They move exactly like humans!

It's strange, I can't detect
any ayakashi energy. Why?

Princess Kaguya, they are fearsome opponents!

It would seem so.

I'll just leave it at that.

What do you mean with that?

I don't feel any thrill
when I fight you, grandpa.

I don't even know why
I have to fight you.

That Ying-Yang monk outdid himself.

I don't get it.

There is something that intrigues
me from the beginning.

What would that be?

You and your companions,
you're fighting...

to kill the ayakashi and correct history
that has deviated from its normal course?

I don't really have any
great reasons to fight.

But you may be right.

Me, I sided with the ayakashi...

to correct this false history in which the
Toyotomi shogunate was established.

That would make sense.

But now that Yasha is dead...

Urashima said that history would
find its normal course again.

So do we have a reason to fight?

It's futile.
That's the impression I have.

Now that you mention it...

This is strange.

I mean, you and I have the same goal.

Yet we're fighting each other.

That sounds like a good way to put it.

Really?

Really.

Yes.

You finally understand.

It's you, Urashima!

That's what I wanted you to understand.

Now it's Kaguya, Yume and the others' turn.

Welcome home.

I am back.

Weren't you fighting Musashi?

Yes.

And you are not injured.

No...

What's going on?

I no longer know the meaning of life.

Did you ponder the philosophy of life?

You're too young for that!

This technique...

This technique...

Now that I think about it, these ayakashi...

do not give off any energy.
Also...

this technique is Yume's.

There is no doubt about it!

This technique is Kaguya's!

Yume, what are you doing?

It's dangerous, get away!

Yume, get away!

Yume is too close!

Princess Kaguya!

Get away from the ayakashi!

No.

What?

- Princess Yume!
- Get away! Yume!

Everything is fine.

This ayakashi is none other than Kaguya.

It is Princess Kaguya?

How do you know?

Princess Kaguya?

This ayakashi is Yume.

Princess Kaguya!

Master Ronin!

Sasuke Sarutobi?

What's going on?

Princess Kaguya?

It's really you.

Kaguya...

The fourth artifact.

Was all this fighting a spell by
Urashima to protect the castle?

He doesn't play around.

I mean, did we fall for Urashima's trap?

What a shame...

Yes.

But we're all safe, and that's what counts.

I don't see Musashi.

Damn Urashima!
Always throwing me from the air!

What is this?

What are you doing here?

We should be asking you that.

One moment you are there,
then you're gone.

We've seen it all in your absence!

So have I!

Musashi.

Here.

The artifact!

Have you joined forces to find it?

In fact, it was the other way around.

Yes.

What do you mean?

In retrospect, the movements of an ayakashi
were clearly the same as Sasuke Sarutobi.

You're not so bad yourself.

What are you talking about?

Kaguya, your back kicks are strong!

Your compliments are an honor to me.

What are you talking about?
Explain a little!

What's important is that everyone is safe.

Can you guys fill me in already?

What, Kaguya and Yume started singing?

And when they sing, Urashima feels sick?

Those three are hiding something!
