Samurai Champloo (サムライチャンプルー)

Vagrant Mugen.

And vagrant ronin Jin.

The aforementioned two parties will hereby be executed by beheading,

and their heads put on display!.

Well? Feeling any regret?

Do you feel like throwing yourselves at my feet and begging for forgiveness now?

If living means bowing down to the likes of you bastards...

...then I'll die on my feet with my head held high!

That was well said. I'm with him.

Very well, then.

As you wish, I'll send you straight to the afterlife!

"Tempestuous Temperaments "

Hey, aren't my dumplings ready yet?

Yes, sir! Coming right up!

Hey, baby, let's have some fun!

C'mon, don't give me that frown...

--No way! --Sorry for the wait!

What kept you, idiot?

I-I'm sorry...

--Where are my dumplings?! --Coming!

Man, this place is boring...

It sure is.

Isn't there anything fun to do around here?

Geez, what's the deal with these customers today?

Now, now, Fuu, ijust bear with it.

But they--

That blonde boy is the son of the prefectural governor.

Check it out, it's brand new!

Hey, nice!

I kinda want to do a test cut with it.

What're you lookin' at?

Hey! I'm talkin' to you, old man!

Ouch! Hot!

That got him!

Hey, you people!

G-Governor, I beg of you!

If I lose this construction ijob, my whole family will have to commit suicide!

Please, sir!. Please!.

What's this supposed to be?

Um, well...

This chicken feed isn't money!

Hey! Go and get rid of that insolent peasant.

Don't. You might not want to hear it, but ijust let it go.

See those bodyguards of the governor's?

They're famous even in Edo as being top-class fighters, even among the Yagyu.

Even if those samurai over there worked together, they couldn't take them down.

Understand?

Welcome!

Water.

Water?

Yeah, water.

Um, I'm sorry, but we don't serve customers who only order water.

If you've got no money, try somewhere else--

50 dumplings. How about it?

Let's make a deal. I'll take care of those guys for you.

--But... --What?

Maybe for 20...

Are you kidding me? I won't go a dumpling lower.

Hey, where's my tea?!

Yes, sir, coming right up!

What was that for?

I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose.

I don't wanna hear it. How are you gonna make up for this?

Um...

Well, maybe I'll take a finger for my trouble.

--C'mon, hold still... --H-Hey, what're you doing? Cut it out!

Master, let me do it.

I was hoping to give this a test cut anyway.

S-Somebody...

Help me...

Don't make a fuss. You'll lose more than a finger.

Well, now, what'll it be?

Your nose, maybe? An ear? Or maybe even your...

That money should be enough for you.

Like they say, it costs six mon to cross the Sanzu, the river of the dead.

Damn it...

Move it. You're blocking the road.

Who the hell are you?

Are you trying to interfere?

To serve your lord and do his bidding... Is that honor?

Of course it is.

Even if that lord is a piece-of-shit nobody?

--What did you say?! --Hey, watch that tongue of yours!

Cutting down a man who's done nothing wrong...

Is that what you spent all those years honing your skills for?

Why, you little...

To be blunt, I think you're worthless.

--We don't have to answer to you! --Say your prayers!

A hundred dumplings!

Geez, your lives ain't worth squat.

Say what?

That's the price I'm getting for your lives.

What's that work out to, five dumplings a pop?

The numbers don't add up...

Are you trying to make me mad, buddy? You sure got some balls.

Maybe I'll break in my sword on you!

Let's see you try.

I won't give you any of that crap about attacking me one at a time.

Come at me all at once!

--You son of a... --Don't screw with us!

C'mon!

Oh, crap!

Hey, what's the matter?

What are you, some kinda moron?

You don't get it. You ijust don't get it, do you, buddy?

My old man's the governor around here.

Folks who lay a finger on me pay the price.

Hell, I guess they don't live to see the next sunrise.

Get it now?

That's right, this ain't the damn warring states period.

Folks who swing swords around in this day and age are nothing but anachronistic--

Do you understand what I ijust said?

Not a word.

You've got to! It's common sense around here!

Your common sense don't mean jack to me.

I hail from the Ryukyu islands.

W-Wait, wait, wait! Wait just a minute!

Do you want money? I'll give you as much as you want!

So ijust wait! Okay?

You...

I'll keep these.

S-Some...

Somebody! Somebody seize that man!

You bunch of cowards!

Listen, my old man's got three Yagyu badasses on his payroll right now.

What's the matter? You scared?

You feel sorry now?

--I'm sorry! --Hey, gimme your hand.

All right, listen up! You guys ain't worth my time.

You have until the count of ten to go bring those badasses here!

I'll be waiting right here, counting on his fingers.

Here's one...

And two...

And three!

And four!

This is boring... What the hell, let's do 'em all!

W-Wait a minute!

Y-You wouldn't happen to be one of the Yagyu swordsmen, would you...?

I see you're in the middle of something. Pardon the interruption.

Are you one?

One of those so-called badasses?

You've got the wrong man.

If it's the Yagyus you want, they died ijust recently.

They're dead?

I was the one who killed them.

All the better!

Mr. Ryuijiro?

Burn...!

Burn to the ground!
