Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Ogre's 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...

THE PATH OF THE DEMON

Musashi-sama...

Please, hear my voice.

Please, accept my heart.

I ask this of you.

A bird of light.

The bird of dreams.

Rukou is in the sky.

Yumehime...



Rukou.

So you've come here to tell me that the dreamer has descended upon this land?

You there, can you do anything?

No, my body's not doing what I tell it to.

So we can do nothing but wait for Musashi's awakening?

Musashi's body...!

Don't worry, I'm certain that Musashi can use that gun.

Where am I?

Finally awake, Miss Desperado?

Who are you?

My name is Dabinoji, master of gadgets,

and he is Sarutobi Sasuke.

Okay?

You can speak English?

Ahh, a little.

Where did Musashi go?

He's in some pain over there.

Musashi! Let go of it! Drop the gun!

No! He must not drop it.

Right now, Musashi-dono is fighting
the demon that dwells within the gun.

If he lets go now, he'll never be able to hold the gun-ki again.

He must endure.

What is this place?

Who's there?

You're the demon!

Oh, that's...!

So you, too, have come here seeking this gun?

Yeah, that's right.

In that case, come defeat me!

Heh, I figured it would end up being something like that.

Perfect!

You...!

You just can't win. Become a demon, like me!

The hell is that?

Wh- Why?

I just took a bullet straight to the chest...

...b- but I'm alive.

In this place, no matter how many bullets you take, you will not die.

Well, that's good to hear,

but man, it really does hurt.

The pain remains as it would feel in reality.

Next...

Wait.

I was so distracted that I stopped working.

But this is a splendid opportunity to take down Musashi!

Yasha-sama?

We can finish him off at any time.

For now, it may be good to see what will happen.

Simply encase him in your thread until he awakens.

No, we can only wait for Musashi to awaken.

But!

Dabinoji!

Alrighty.

These are all bullets?

Yeah, these are special bullets that I've been painstakingly crafting for a long time now.

Special bullets?

All of them ended up too powerful,

so you can't use them without a gun like the gun-ki.

But now, we'll finally get to see them in action.

Excellent, most excellent.

Dabinoji, nothing yet?

Come on, can't you tell I'm in the middle of preparing right now?

Sasuke, it's up to you now.

You'll be fine, just send it over there!

So long as you're here, get that over to Musashi.

You call yourself a monkey ninja? Go!

Hurry up and go!

Musashi.

Wait for it. Right now, all we can do is wait.

Now then, at this point, it is impossible for Musashi to escape from my strings.

From here, we are free to deal with him however you wish, Yasha-sama.

We will continue to wait.

I wish to see for myself.

Does there truly exist a human who can wield the gun-ki of legend?

Yasha-sama, do you know of that gun?

Do I know of it, you ask...

Musashi, I shall observe whether you are a true gun-dou practitioner.

Does it hurt? Do you feel the pain?

Of course I do!

This is the force of a gun.

Bullets tear open human skin,

bite deep into the flesh,

and shred through the organs.

The terror of what it means to pull the trigger...

People use guns without knowing that.

Such people will all become demons.

All who have lost against this pain, this trial...

...become demons.

You, like all who came before you, will become a demon.

I... I will never become a demon!

I... I will never become a demon!

We will see...

...if those words are true.

Now, every person awakens from this.

The question is, will he retain his
humanity after he opens his eyes,

or will he be reduced to a demon?

The cocoon...!

It's melting away.

Musashi, show us the strength of your soul.

I won't lose.

Musashi!

Musashi.

I know he can do it. I'm sure of it!

Miyamoto... Musashi!

Musashi!

Musashi!

I take it you didn't become a demon?

I haven't grown any horns, so I guess not? Probably.

Well done. Finally, someone has prevailed against the demon.

We've been waiting for the chance to strike back.

Well, I don't remember anything about that.

He defeated the demon, did he?

Curse you, brat!

You burned my threads!

You may have obtained a powerful gun,
but that won't be enough to take me down!

Nice one, Musashi.

Alright, alright!

He's so strong! Was he always that strong?

That's the skill that the gun-ki can give.

It multiplies the holder's latent potential tenfold—

No, with full command, the gun-ki can boost it a hundredfold!

You hag! This is the end!

That bullet!

Oho.

Even without any instruction, Musashi can harness the flame shot mode of the enkaboudan!

I've done it!

Hot!

It burns!

Musashi, it seems I've underestimated you.

I'll leave the gun-ki in your hands for now.

Master Takuan.

Musashi.

You did well in overcoming the demon. From today on, the gun is yours.

Wahoo!

However, remember this:

whoever carries that gun will,
sooner or later, become a demon.

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!

Who's this girl?

Huh? Yumehime?

She's been dreaming about me?

And who the heck is Kobayakawa Hideaki?
