Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Prison and Dream and - 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...
Prison Cells and Dreams
It's time to switch.
Okay.
How are those two doing?
Still the same as they have been.
Let me out!
I am Kobayakawa Hideaki!
Do you know who I am?
I was the reason the Western Army won the Battle of Sekigahara!
I am a distinguished contributor to the Toyotomi shogunate!
So why must I be imprisoned in this cell?
Why!?
Send word of this to Chief Minister Ishida Mitsunari-dono.
This is some kind of mistake.
Why is this happening?
I declined the Eastern army's invitation and instead sided with the West,
all because I believed that after the formation of Toyotomi shogunate,
I would be given the power of governance as regent for the still-young Toyotomi Hideyori-sama—
Ishida Mitsunari-dono promised me that!
I...
I...!
I believed in a lie!?
Do not be so sad.
Help will come soon.
Do not worry, things will be alright.
Soon, a man named Miyamoto Musashi will come to our aid.
Miyamoto Musashi, you say...
The man who sneaks into castles with his two guns and pilfers its valuables.
Musashi the castle-taker, you mean?
Most likely.
Most likely?
You aren't acquainted with him?
I don't know him at all.
If so, why would a complete stranger like Musashi come to help you?
I have dreams.
Did you do that?
He's a very odd person who appears in my dreams.
Dreams?
Yes, I've never met or spoken to Musashi-san before,
and yet I've had many dreams of him battling people.
Isn't that mysterious?
If that is true, mysterious indeed.
The first time Musashi-san appeared in my dream...
Right...
It was half a year ago.
Musashi-san was sneaking into a castle somewhere.
Along with his companions, Ronin-san and Ninjataro-san.
Why are you guys here before me?
We took a bit of a shortcut.
From over there.
Oh?
Wow, you guys really went at it.
Yes, a bit conspicuous, perhaps.
Huh.
You were the one who said we should be stealthy today, weren't you, Ronin?
I mean, we're not good at climbing walls.
Ninja-nanaro, you're a ninja, aren't you?
It's Ninjataro!
Well, don't worry about it, ninja bro.
I just said, my name is Ninjataro!
They knew we were here!
You fools! You took down so many of our people,
anyone would notice!
Now!
Thanks, Taro.
Gotta be useful once in a while!
I'm not letting anyone get to this treasure!
It was a precious gift from Regent Hideyoshi-sama!
I shall not let you have it!
Who's this?
Ishikawa Goemon.
Wow, he's so cool!
Ah, you've come to help me?
Not quite.
I am in his line of work.
Ishikawa Goemon was boiled to death.
Who the heck are you?
I inherit the purpose of the ninja.
I have heard the rumors about you.
Oh, he just gets cooler and cooler!
Damn, he's weak.
Did you not hear any rumors about me?
Well, you let your guard down, basically.
A fun group of people.
The next dream after that came recently.
It was amazing—Musashi-san was fighting against ayakashi!
Why is the moon behind her?
A frightfully strong ayakashi...
The ayakashi named Yasha was a powerful adversary.
Musashi-san struggled greatly at first.
But Musashi-san cooperated with Ronin-san and forced Yasha to retreat.
You have improved.
Tonight, I will not hold back as I did before.
What!?
Oh?
You use an onmyouken?
I suppose so.
You will remain quiet.
I'll be taking your princess.
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.
Well? Who are you?
Musashi.
My name is Miyamoto Musashi!
Miyamoto Musashi...
I have not heard of you.
I am Ronin.
Hm, I wonder.
I'll need to give it a try.
Nenken: Meiretsu.
What!?
Take this!
Ow!
He saved Kaguya-sama from her predicament.
So what happened next?
It was a great shock for Musashi-san when Yasha said that his skill in gun-dou was still lacking.
In order to refine his gun-dou, he went to meet a master named Takuan-san.
But an ayakashi attack happened there as well.
Why do you dream of Musashi?
For the moment... I cannot say.
Why? Why can't you tell me?
Kobayakawa-sama.
It is because you are meant to be caught in these waves.
How do you know my name?
What waves?
I cannot say for now.
But you will be one of those who will lend Musashi-san their power.
Lend Musashi my power?
And as not the only one?
Yes. There will be many others.
Ronin-san, Ninjataro-san, and Master Takuan.
This time, the enemy was a flying ayakashi calling itself Jijoda.
Musashi-san leaped onto the back of Jijoda in the fight.
Takuan is gone, isn't he?
There, an old man came to Musashi-san's assistance.
That old man, in fact, was Master Takuan, the one Musashi-san was looking for.
You don't understand? Takuan will not return.
The one who stands before you is only Master Shibazuke!
You're not making any sense!
Ever since that battle, Takuan has never returned to this temple.
So it had to be.
Why's that?
Chasing after Musashi-san, a foreign woman named Desperado arrived at Daitokuji.
If you don't bring him out, I'll break your neck!
Oh, the woman is called Desperado?
you're up against a girl, so don't go all-out.
That is not your business.
What are you doing? Hurry up and bring out Musashi.
R- Ronin?
If you're going to hide him, I'll just find him myself!
You... Are you really Desperado?
Desperado-san likes Musashi-san.
The ayakashi were trying to use her to defeat Musashi-san.
But Desperado-san has no intention at all to defeat Musashi-san.
Desperado-san's body was commandeered by a massive spider ayakashi.
That spider was terribly powerful...
It seemed unbeatable.
But Musashi-san's spirit never broke.
What's with this thing?
How can this be?
To think Meiretsu would have no effect...
Damn it, my onmyoudan aren't doing anything.
Your tools are useless against me.
Ordinary ayakashi-sealing weapons will not work.
What's with these strings?
Desperado!
What's the deal with these strings?
I will show you my signature skill!
The Spider Queen's threads repelled Musashi-san's onmyoudan,
and even withstood the blade of Ronin-san's Meiretsu with their demonic strength.
By controlling Desperado-san like a puppet, it made Musashi-san suffer.
Not only do the onmyoudan not work,
but it's putting me up against someone I don't want to fight!
What am I supposed to do?
Somebody stop me!
Damn it...
What am I supposed to do!?
So such a powerful ayakashi existed.
So, how did they fight it?
Musashi-san would undergo a test of his soul's strength.
The strength of his soul?
You don't mean...
I will tell you what came next.
Anti-ayakashi bullets and blades were ineffective.
That spider was truly powerful.
It controlled Desperado-san, used her as a shield, and forced her to attack.
But Master Takuan granted Musashi-san the legendary guns, gun-ki.
Gun-ki!?
I- Impossible...!
With the gun-ki in his hands,
Musashi-san found himself within an illusion,
fighting the demon that dwells within the gun.
The gun-ki, written with the characters for 'gun' and 'demon.'
Only the most exceptional masters of gun-dou are allowed to possess it.
There are only two in the world.
It is the strongest, peerless gun in the world.
The strongest, peerless gun?
Only two in the world...
Bullets fired from the gun-ki have a hundred times more power than normal,
and it can fire any type of bullet.
Truly the strongest gun in the world.
Why won't you use it?
It's the only thing that can beat that ayakashi, right?
Why don't you use it?
It is sealed.
Sealed?
In the past, a number of gun-dou practitioners have obtained the gun-ki.
But nearly all of them have been engulfed by the power of the demon sleeping in the gun.
Some ceased to be human. Some became demons.
And so they died.
Musashi-san took up the guns in the middle of that battle,
and it seems he fought the demon that dwells within the gun.
With the demon?
Musashi-san...
...faced his greatest trial.
With the strength of his soul being tested...
...he had to achieve victory over himself.
The devilish fiend within the gun...!
Musashi-san fought against the demon that dwelled within the gun.
If he lost this fight, Musashi-san's soul would be a slave to the demon.
Musashi-san was struck by bullets all over his body.
Enduring that pain, he fought desperately, furiously.
Yes, desperately...
Such people will all become demons.
You're the demon!
In that case, come defeat me!
If you cannot win, you will become a demon like me!
Dabinoji!
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.
Musashi.
Wait for it. Right now, all we can do is 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...
The cocoon...!
It's melting away.
Show us.
Back to the real world, Musashi-san's power was a sight to behold.
It was as though he was a whole new person.
Musashi-san prevailed over the demon, and he obtained the most powerful gun.
You hag! This is the end!
Hot!
It burns!
I felt Musashi-san's heart...
His resilient heart.
How do you...
Why can you see these things as though you were there?
I may be a captive...
...but I can dream of freedom.
And... the light of the moon.
By way of Rukou, the bird of light, I can see the true world.
I do not yet know why, but Rukou chooses people,
and tells me what is happening to them in the moment.
In that way, it tells me what I must do.
How are you capable of this? Who are you?
I do not even know that, myself.
Eventually, I suppose time will tell.
Then let me ask you this:
Why are you captive here?
With the power you have, why do you not leave this place?
And why...
Why am I connected to you here?
Indeed, time will tell all things...
...for you will soon be able to leave this place by your own power.
That six-coin crest...!
Yumehime, I am deeply sorry that you have been denied freedom all this time.
I will take you from this prison.
It wasn't Musashi-san...?
That family crest...!
Y- You...!
You are Sanada Yukimura!
Oh my, here we have Kobayakawa Hideaki-dono.
We've met again in such a strange place.
What does this mean?
What, you ask?
Whose fortress is this?
Under whose orders am I being confined to this cell?
Oh, no one even told you that much?
This castle is under command of the chief minister, Ishida Mitsunari-sama.
What?
Then you mean to say the one who imprisoned me was Ishida Mitsunari-dono?
I've been told nothing regarding you, but we are no strangers.
I will look the other way, so if you wish to flee, do what you will.
I have orders to bring Yumehime to Osaka Castle.
Yumehime...
Who in the world are you?
I'm very sorry, Yumehime.
This is all part of my orders.
I see...
Musashi-sama... Please come save me.
Quickly!
Come save me.
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!
A historic revelation!
During that incident at Honnoji, he used the gun-ki against Nobunaga..?
