Shenmue the Animation

What the hell?

What is this?

That's far enough!

Another move and the kid gets it!

Wong!

Starting today, I work under the great Lan Di!

Starting today, I work under the great Lan Di! Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!

Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!

And this whole city will soon be groveling at my feet! Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!

And this whole city will soon be groveling at my feet!

And this whole city will soon be groveling at my feet! Let go already!

That must be... Lan Di.

Lan Di!

It's you... the Hazuki boy.

You son of a bitch!

Ryo!

Don't you care what happens to this kid?!

Master Lan Di?

Come.

You have improved, somewhat.

Ryo!

Dumbass! Don't let him get you so wound up!

Enough!

There is nothing to be gained by bringing harm to these people.

I will tell you what you want to know.

But first, put the child down.

Huh?

You don't give the orders here! I'm not gonna-

Very well.

Release him.

Wong!

Ouch!

It's in Bailu Village.

Lan Di!

Quit it, man!

M-Master... Lan Di...?

B-b-but what about... my total domination over Hong Kong...?

Hurry and clean up this mess.

It's a valuable opportunity for you to show Master Lan Di...

that you can do something useful.

You damn rats! I'm gonna squash you all flat into the dirt!

Not good!

Guys!

C'mon! We're making a break for it!

Hear me?!

Watch out!

Make yourself scarce!

Lan Di!

Use your head, fool! Snap out of it already!

Your obsession with revenge is making you blind

to everything happening right in front of you!

Becoming blind...

Listen to me! You're not the only one whose ass is on the line now!

Remember what you said? You can't stop until you reach your goal, dammit!

I can't stop...

So move!

Yeah... you're right.

Thanks, man.

You guys make a break for it!

Okay!

Not so fast.

None of you are going anywhere.

Just leave the suits to me.

You go knock Dou Niu down a peg.

I'm sick and tired of dealing with you goddamn annoying brats!

You can't beat me!

Ryo!

Oh no!

Damn it...

Father... what more must I do?

Ryo... it's still not enough.

You are lacking. Keep that in mind.

A father does not show all of his faces to his son.

I refuse to lead a young man like yourself into such a lion's den.

If I were in your shoes... I'd do exactly the same.

Why do you practice the martial arts?

Like the stillness of the surface of water, you must clear your mind.

Become free from distraction, and channel your focus entirely on your mind itself.

Is there a problem?

You've got your eyes shut tight! I guess that means you're ready to die!

Ryo?!

What's wrong?!

Wait, that technique...

Burn in hell!

Sweet move!

He can master it.

Sorry, fellas. You'll need a few decades of training to even come close to beating me!

I'm gonna wring the life right out of you!

Channel all of my focus...

Die!

Entirely...

on the mind!

Way to go!

He achieved the serenity of a polished mirror.

Lan Di...

We're not done.

Ren's Hideout

So... Iwao died at the hands of Lan Di.

Fate is a cruel mistress indeed.

Please tell me. Why would Lan Di kill my father?

For revenge.

Lan Di sought retribution for the death of his own father, Sunming Zhao.

Do you remember Sunming Zhao?

Yes, he did mention that name.

Lan Di's real name is actually Longsun Zhao.

He firmly believed that your father, Iwao Hazuki, was the one who killed Sunming Zhao.

However, I do not know the truth behind that accusation.

I see...

Hey, gramps.

Tell us what the deal is with the mirror that Ryo has.

Show him.

My father kept ahold of this mirror.

Oh! I know of it!

This mirror used to belong to Sunming Zhao.

This Phoenix Mirror is paired with another known as the Dragon Mirror

and together they form a key.

The key to a massive fortune of hidden treasures

that are intended to revive the Qing Dynasty.

I knew it!

Nobody's got a better intuition for this stuff than me!

Uh-huh, sure.

So, how can we get our hands on this treasure? Hm?

Only by bringing both mirrors together will the secret to that be revealed.

Okay, so Phoenix Mirror alone doesn't do squat.

That's not the real problem here.

After all this, hardly any light has been shed on the truth

surrounding the murder of Ryo's father.

You should go to Guilin.

Guilin?

That is the place where Sunming Zhao and Iwao once underwent training together.

It is also home to the rare Phantom River Stone, which was used to craft these mirrors.

The descendants of the craftsmen should be living there, too.

Lan Di is making his way there now.

Lan Di?!

Back then...

That's right. I told him about Bailu Village in Guilin.

Bailu Village...

Lan Di!

You've stopped touching it.

The cut on your cheek.

The answers should lie there.

Have faith in Iwao... no, in your father. Keep pursuing the truth.

I will!

Hey Ryo!

You're leaving, huh?
