Okay, we're recording!
What should I talk about?
Maybe about why you were in prison?
Hmm.
I was an athlete chosen as an Olympic candidate.
Wow.
It was for the pole vault in track-and-field.
I was really on track to land it, too.
But, one day, a slasher came out of nowhere and tried to murder my girlfriend.
I tracked him down and beat him up for that.
He just happened to die on me,
so I got arrested for it.
My weapon?
I made my spear myself.
I can use that spear to pole vault up and attack that way, too.
Okay, next!
Fisherman!
I used to be a fisherman.
I got in a fight with my fellow fishermen and accidentally killed one,
so I was thrown in the slammer.
I can cast nets to capture Gibia,
or hook them with my fishing rod.
I can use a sword, too.
I-I'm a p-professional! A professional with explosives!
I-I can cast bombs far away using this guy's fishing rod, too!
I-It's difficult to produce bombs on my own
now that there a-aren't a lot of materials left in the world.
Wh-Why was I arrested?
I-I made a bomb to get back at our horrid government
a-and someone tipped them off!
Hmm...
"New Allies"
Whoa, what is this?
That's a huge castle.
Is this our destination?
Yes.
Once we turn here, the research center is just up ahead.
That's...
Christ, there are Gibia everywhere!
We knew it would be this way.
It'll only be harder to get inside once night falls.
We have to go through.
There are many of those that my sword won't work on, as well.
Maybe we should pull back for now and come back later?
Let's not go in right now...
We'll have to go in there one way or another, though.
Waiting around won't bring others to help us.
Let's go.
Even though we might get wiped out trying to fight that many Gibia.
Sensui.
Hmm?
The old man isn't with us anymore,
but I've got your back.
We're both used to fights with the odds stacked against us, right?
What?
You're right.
I'll place my life in your hands.
I can't let anyone else die.
Even if it costs me my own life!
Those guys again?
Your father never learns, does he?
At a time like this?!
This time I'll be the one to get him!
No other choice.
I'll deal with the Gibia.
You two handle them.
Get to it, you all!
No way...
Why do people still have to attack each other after all this?!
H-Here I go!
What?!
What do they think they're doing?!
We owe you all our lives.
It would go against our code if we didn't repay that debt,
so we're here to help.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Sensui!
Yeah!
Yes!
What?! Those guys aren't half bad!
Let's go, Kenroku!
Yeah!
Doctor, are you okay?!
Yes.
Guren!
Come here!
I know, boss!
Eat this!
Is your injury okay?
Oh, it's still too early for me to be dragging the young ones down.
It's just a scratch.
I didn't get stung.
Your help saved us.
If you need people like us,
then we'll give you as much help as it takes.
Wherever the boss goes, his men will follow.
Hopefully we can all get along, Samurai-san.
Hmph.
I'm so glad!
This is great news!
Isn't it, Ayame?
Looks like we'll have some good sake tonight!
I finally made it this far.
We call those creatures Gibia.
They used to be human.
Once you're infected by the Gibia's poison,
the cells in your body begin abnormal replication,
altering the human chromosomes
and causing metamorphosis into a monstrous form.
That's why we're researching a cure right now,
a drug to turn Gibia back into humans.
Yeah, I'm going to complete the vaccine to restore Gibia into people!
I'm almost there...
Ah! That's...!
Katsu curry.
Again?
Again.
K-Katsu curry is really delicious!
Jeez.
I wish the old man could have eaten some, too.
Yeah.
Yukinojyo-san...
Wait, this meat...
Yeah! It's good!
What's wrong?
It might look a little bad, but it'll give you stamina.
I-It's from the cafeteria here, so it's safe.
It's not meat from them.
Of course it isn't.
Yeah, this isn't bad.
This is spicy.
What kind of spice is this?
It's not daikon or wasabi.
I-It's curry powder.
There are some spices that could be u-used as medicine mixed into it, as well.
Medicine...
There are all kinds of medicines in our current era,
but long ago they'd use this instead.
That's true...
This katsu curry has a different meaning for me, though.
What do you mean?
It can also be used to blow away hesitation
by saying, "With this katsu, I'll cuts 'em down!"
What, a pun?
When I was young, there was a restaurant
with real good katsu curry tucked away in Waseda.
Every now and then I'd go there with your mother.
Huh?
Ever since then, I've always gotten sentimental when I eat katsu curry.
Sakuma here, at first all he could do was make bombs,
but he's learned to make katsu curry this delicious.
The first katsu curry he ever made tasted real bad,
but lately the flavor's pretty guaranteed.
Learn to make other meals, too.
Well, we can eat our fill and regain energy, so I've got no complaints!
We're not going to lose to stupid Gibia!
Right, Doctor?
Huh? Where's the Doctor?
He's still conducting his research.
I'll go take the Doctor his katsu curry.
Yeah, this is good.
That's great!
It's Sakuma-san's best dish!
Apparently, the Galients have been eating katsu curry every day,
but even though they all complained, they ate it with joy.
I see.
Having this every day would be tough.
Doctor, how's the vaccine coming along?
Just a little more, I think.
I thought I wouldn't be able to create the vaccine
until I went to Venice and extracted antibodies from patient zero,
but thanks to Sensui and the others
I've been able to cultivate a high concentration of the virus.
So, you're using that to make the vaccine?
If only we'd had that, my mother wouldn't have had to die...
Doctor...
Please make sure to complete the vaccine!
I have faith in you!
We can restore the whole world!
To restore the whole world.
Oh, it's on, it's on!
Way to go!
H-How's that?!
Th-There was a generator, so I-I got it back up and running!
With this much light the Gibia won't come after us, either!
Hmm?
I know!
Since we have the chance, let's do interviews!
I never thought I'd get to share sake with someone in this era.
This is Aoki, a choice sake.
It's really hard to get a hold of nowadays.
This is definitely better than the sake of yore.
I'm excited, then.
Honestly, I'm glad I didn't have to fight you.
Me, too.
Yeah.
I wanted to try fighting him!
You're real good with machines, aren't you?
I-It's not that big a deal. I just like working with them.
By the way, is that dynamite really so incredible?
Yeah!
O-O-Out of all the explosives, i-it was the invention of the century!
Th-The production of dynamite changed the history of h-human architecture.
Wow, really?
Th-Th-There were a lot of people who died, though.
Man, between the bombs and the cooking,
you're really incredible.
W-Well, the truth is, once I realized curry powder was similar to gunpowder,
I got an urge to try making it.
Gunpowder and curry powder are similar?
You really are incredible!
By the way, can you tell me more about bombs?
Sure!
I-I have a lot of them in our car,
s-so I'll show you later.
Yeah!
I'm sorry.
I thought your mother took you with her and went back to China.
She stayed in Japan, hoping to see you reform your life.
She died before she got that chance, though.
After being in the yakuza for so long,
it was easier to steal from people than monsters.
What you said to me the other day opened my eyes.
If you're willing to forgive me,
I want to spend the time I have left for you.
I won't be able to forgive you right away.
Well, as long as we're together
I'm sure we'll come to understand each other.
After all, we're a real father and daughter.
I guess this is the end of our journey.
I've gathered more than enough samples.
Kenroku!
Okuni.
