MEIJI 1st YEAR (1868) MAEBASHI, GUNMA PREFECTURE

Guests have been waiting!

Where have you been?

Thank you for waiting.

Wait a minute. Let me take one more swig.

What an outrageous nun you are!

You're always drinking, whenever you can. You've had enough.

Customers will be mad at me again.

Excuse me.

Sensei! Sensei!

She's pretty isn't she? She's a virgin, too.

- Oden! - Yes.

- Entertain him. - Yes.

Here it is, sensei.

Have this, too.

She's a genuine virgin.

- Here. - Game!

Winner is odd!

Old man! Old man! Here are the chips.

Have a seat.

- Make your bets! - Even!

- Father! I told you not to come here! - Shut up!

- Where did that money come from? - Go away!

Game!

Five and two, odd!

Father!

Oden, you'll never go back to your home.

What is this?

So you got this money by selling me?

Why did you do that, father?

I'm sorry I'm sorry...

You've already taken our fields...

How much more do you have to take from us? You brute!

If you have a complaint, tell it to your father. Take her away!

- Come with me, Oden. - No! No! No! No!

- What are you doing? - I'm taking her with me.

Hey, hey! Wait a minute, sensei. You can't do that.

Even though you're our boss's guest,

- you can't help yourself to our gambling profits. - No!

Sensei, you're going to be in big trouble.

Don't talk so big.

I haven't fallen so low as to be messed with by someone like you.

Bastard! Beat him up! Beat him up!

Bastard!

Fight! Fight!

Remember this! You have disgraced us!

Stop! I'm scared.

You came from Tokyo?

I could tell right away

Yes.

I wonder what Tokyo is like...

I'm so tired of this country life.

I want to go to Tokyo.

I'm going to wear pretty clothes, eat delicious food, and save lots of money

How wonderful that would be!

It's so beautiful!

A friend in Nagasaki gave me this. You can have it.

I'm happy.

You go first!

Go!

You're under arrest!

- Don't resist! - Idiot! Take it more seriously!

So, who do you think you are?

You're behaving so arrogantly! Let's fight man-to-man.

Bastard! I'm a police sergeant!

Come on! I'm going to hurt you badly!

Then again...

This way!

Don't move!

It serves you right! I reported you to the police.

Tie him up!

- Sensei! Sensei! - Stay away!

- Please leave him be! - Take him away!

You got involved with the wrong man.

He might have been the Shogun's bodyguard in the past,

but after this, he'll be sentenced to death for sure.

Hey where are you going?

I'll be coming back to get you later.

Oden!

Don't forget.

It serves you right!

Come this way Please enjoy

I have to go take a piss.

I'm making so much money

Miss, miss... What are you doing?

- Leave me alone. - I know...

You're here secretly to look for a man.

Oh, you look amorous!

If you have so much time to flirt with a woman, do something that would shock the world.

What do you want me to do?

Steal the entire gambling winnings.

All right. I'll do it.

You just watch!

Welcome!

He really did it!

- Go! Go! - Wait!

Serves you right!

We did it! We did it!

Let's rest here!

- What's your name? - It's Ichitaro.

I'm Oden. You were so cool!

You weren't so bad, either... Let's do it!

Originally I was going to become a Commissioner for Foreign Affairs.

It's quite different from a gambling thief.

Oh, so you're from a samurai family?

- I'm from a fisherman's family - You're silly!

The world has changed. Being a samurai is not so good anymore.

Oden, I'm going to save lots of money and go to America or Europe someday

That's a fine idea!

I'm going to rampage through the new capital city Tokyo!

- That's great! Are we going to Tokyo? - Don't overreach...

It may be better for you to go home and grow daikon radishes and potatoes.

What are you talking about? Who'd want to go back there?

I'm tired of that poor, desperate way of life.

MATSUNO-YA

Where's the money?

Over there.

Someone! Someone! Come help!

- Is this all? - That's all I got.

Give us more! You should have more.

Bastard! Don't fool around.

That's all! That's all!

Mister thief!

Mister thief!

The money's under the mattress.

Damn! He hid it.

- There it is! - No! That's my money!

Be quiet, bastard!

- Damn it! - Bastard!

Damn old man!

Take the money!

Stop it! You're going to kill him.

Let's leave now!

Wait! Wait! You can't just leave.

They'll kill me!

I got it. We can't leave him here.

Let me get away now.

Hurry! What's taking so long?

Let's lift this.

I'm saved!

- Are you all right? - Ouch!

Be strong. What a heavy bastard!

Ah, I'm hungry

Don't forget my share of the loot.

No. Don't worry

- He is heavy! - This tastes awful.

BEEF HOTPOT RESTAURANT

Thank you for waiting.

Beef! Beef! Beef! Delicious!

This is so good! So good!

Here...

- Here's your share. - Do I get this much? - Yes.

The loot will be shared equally from now on.

- Then I can work with you? - Yes. - Great!

By the way why did you quit being an acrobat? That's a good job, isn't it?

Well, I had an affair with my boss's woman. So I was sold off.

Women are dangerous...

But ladies like me.

Is that right? How old were you?

- Sixteen. - Bilker!

I wouldn’t eat at a shabby restaurant like this if I had money

- How outrageous! - Do whatever you want with me!

I'll take you to the police. Come on!

Sister!

Ouch! Ouch!

Let me borrow this... You evil witch!

- Please wait! - What are you doing? - I know her...

I'll pay for her.

Is that right?

- It's really a nuisance, leaving a woman like that alone in public. - I'm sorry

Sister! Sister! Pull yourself together.

Sister!

Oden! Oden! Oden!

Let's do it.

No. Matsusuke's here tonight.
