Crying Freeman 1: Portrait of a Killer (Crying フリーマン)

A young and energetic potter, Hinomura Yoh,

was involved in a crime and committed a murder.

But that was a conspiracy set up by the 108 Dragons,

who had an eye on his talents.

The 108 Dragons, based in Hong Kong,

is the world's greatest assassination organization.

He was put through severe training by the elder, Lon Fu,

and his wife, Fu Long, as a successor to the organization.

He survived the training and became an elite assassin.

These are the two who will succeed me.

I am Lon Tayan.

Given the name of Lon Tayan for his world-class killing techniques,

he became a force feared throughout the world.

He has no life other than fighting. He fights for your freedom.

His nickname of Crying Freeman was to become world-renowned.

Crying Freeman... Crying means to cry out aloud,

and he is said to be a most deadly enemy.

At the moment he takes your life, tears flow unceasingly from his eyes.

It is because he is pained at the death of those he kills,

at the sadness of a destiny to only meet you via battle.

Sleep well.

Emu Hino, who had a fateful encounter with Crying Freeman,

finally had intercourse with him.

From this day forward you will be Fu Chinran.

This name means you will be both beautiful and feared.

Fu Chinran

Fu Chinran To she who had been given the name Fu Chinran,

Fu Chinran Fu Chinran... To she who had been given the name Fu Chinran,

Fu Chinran... To she who had been given the name Fu Chinran,

a life as the wife of the leader of the 108 Dragons now awaits.

Crying Freeman 3 Eternal Love

Come with us.

They might be holding me hostage

to lure Freeman out.

I can't allow my carelessness to cause trouble for the organization or for him.

I'll die.

This was a test.

And you thoroughly impressed every last one of the 108 Dragons.

You must truly be Fu Chinran.

Do you know the phrase ''hiyoku renri''?

Yes. If I recall, it appears in the poet

Yes. If I recall, it appears in the poet

Yes. If I recall, it appears in the poet

Hakurakuten's Song of Unending Sorrow.

''If in Heaven, I would wish that we were hiyoku birds

and if on Earth, I would wish that we were a renri branch.''

Yes, male and female hiyoku birds only have one eye and one wing each.

And they must become as one in order to fly.

Renri is how two branches from different trees join together

and the grain of the wood become as one.

So, ''hiyoku renri'' is a saying that speaks figuratively

of the depth of love between a man and a woman.

A love that cannot be torn apart. A love where two are as one.

If either should die, the other can not go on living.

But we cannot be like that.

The love binding us may be strong and deep,

but we cannot afford to be ''hiyoku renri''.

If we were, there would be many who would seek to take you hostage.

But if you were to commit suicide as soon as anyone touched you,

no one would ever lay a hand on you.

You chose to kill yourself rather than let a single hand touch you.

And that is what makes you worthy of being a 108 Dragon wife.

Even alone, no matter where you go in the world, you will be safe.

Yes...

Therefore, our love is not that of ''hiyoku renri'', but a dragon and tiger.

Independent like the dragon and the tiger.

What a cool guy, do you think he's Japanese?

I think he's Chinese.

He's on the guest list as Kunio Ogawa.

So you checked, did you?

Hey, rookie!

That's private property you're digging through!

This flight is now under the control of the Horn of Africa!

Any objections?

Don't move!

Remain in your seats, keep quiet and obey our instructions.

Do as we say and you will live.

What an annoying joke.

What's so funny?

These are our demands:

The release of fifty-two of our comrades now being held.

As well as a payment of two million dollars.

If our demands are NOT met...

If anything happens to us, the passengers die.

We are with the Horn of Africa.

Proceed!

Sit down! I'll shoot!

Hey, open up.

I've failed.

This way.

It was that young Asian guy and the fat woman! Forgive me!

I sent you out,

and you lead others to us and endanger everything.

You have his knife in you yet you still live.

He did not mean to kill you.

Forgive me!

You have one last chance.

Avoid my chakram and you may live.

Brother, hurry up and let's go after them.

Later, let's get some support.

They've gone.

Who are those two?

The Horn of Africa,

a nomadic revolutionary terrorist group wandering Africa.

We are a profit-making enterprise.

Our policy is not to engage in indiscriminate slaughter

of those uninvolved in our enterprise.

To meddle in populations and national affairs is foolishness.

That is so. The 108 Dragons does not involve third parties.

We could never keep our base,

if the name of the 108 Dragons were to become known.

It may be necessary, if difficult, to pull back some operations.

But it is the duty of the leader of the 108 Dragons

to show us the best way to do this.

I have acquired additional information on the Horn of Africa.

If I may show you?

Their leader, Jigon.

He takes his name from a god, an African one.

He rose to the top of the syndicate by his own hand.

His throwing knife, the Bird's Head.

Jigon's right-hand terrorist, Shikebaro.

He has personally assassinated thirty European and African VIPs.

This is a chakram, his preferred killing instrument.

I believe we are all in agreement about continuing to fight

against the Horn of Africa.

No.

No. No.

No.

No. No.

No. No.

No. No.

No.

No. No.

No.

No. No.

No.

I do not consider this job finished!

Me either!

Everyone knows we were the ones who broke up their hijacking scheme. Me either!

Everyone knows we were the ones who broke up their hijacking scheme.

Because of that the 108 Dragons are the center of their world now.

No!

What's the matter with you old men?

Brother has given the order!

There is one other reason.

Even now, it is possible that they are thinking of us.

It is possible that they may be moving against us even now.

We should be fine.

You and I are the most likely target if they attack!

How could they?

To get onto this boat, they would have to pass five checkpoints.

Perhaps our leader is a bit nervous.

And perhaps you are living in another era.

Your senses have become quite old.

Lon Tayan!

The law is that you obey the will of the Ten Planets.

Yes...

This old club is ready for a cane.

I'm here to make a business proposition.

Two million dollars total.

So, take me to Freeman.

Right!

This was the famed 108 Dragons? They just lined up to die!

I showed them two million dollars and I had a free pass.

Bayasan!

It's alright. It hurts but it won't kill me.

Hurry!

Bayasan was the next to shield you, in the end it would have been I.

One hundred lives are here to defend ten.

Ten lives are here to defend a single one.

It is our organization the Ten Planets protected when they died.

The one life and position that they would never allow to die.

But now, in fact as well as name, you are both Freeman,

and Lon Tayan of the 108 Dragons.

Now your words will immediately become action. Do as you think fit.

The 108 Dragons are destroyed.

The Ten Planets...

You shall be avenged.

Shikebaro had a scent on him.

A French musk, eau de cologne.

Musk is a scent made from ambergris and used to attract women.

There are two reasons a man would wear a musk perfume.

First, to attract women's attentions.

In particular, hard-to-attain ones who would recognize the rare scent.

Second, to hide an identifying scent on his own person.

Something as strong as musk may be for hiding the scent of killing.

Welcome!

You have to try the new master stylist here. Welcome!

You have to try the new master stylist here.

Master, should I cancel my dinner plans?

So, what sort of style should I do for you tonight?

Whatever you think would look good.

Well, promise you won't be angry.

Welcome!

That sweet scent, ambergris.

The scent of ambergris,

taken from only the oldest blue whales.

The most expensive scent in the world.

Ambergris is a magical substance. It has no effect on women.

But should a man smell it, he forgets everything else.
