Lady Snowblood Page #3

This isn't good... it's overdue... the

baby's overdue and it's twisted around...

It doesn't matter...

At least save my baby...

my baby...

You don't even know whose

child you're bearing!

Should... should my

baby be stillborn...

...if that should happen,

Otora... I'll kill you!

But, tell me... why did those four

commit such a hideous crime?

For profit...

"For profit?"

They told the people that draftees

could be excused from service...

...by paying them a

sum of 270 yen...

...and thus they swindled the villagers

out of tens of thousands of yen.

After splitting the money

among themselves...

...they fled from the

village, as planned.

Shokei Tokuichi, who

desired my body...

...took me along with

him to Tokyo.

In Tokyo, Tokuichi opened

a little eatery.

I did as I was told, and waited

for the right moment...

I killed Tokuichi...

...and was in the midst of hunting

down the remaining three...

...when I was arrested...

Three more vengeances remain.

But... I've been sentenced

to life in prison...

I can no longer... exact my

revenge... with my own hands.

Then, you mean for this child to...

...you want this newborn to...

That's why you kept saying

you wanted a strong boy...

Otora...

I can't remember how many

times you told me...

"...you're a slut!"

But that's all right... because

it was true.

Because I wanted a child

so much... I've...

At the women's prison

in Ichingaya...

...and after I arrived here...

...I acted like a mad b*tch

in heat...

...I wantonly seduced men, and

screwed one after another.

I knew this made you look

upon me with disgust.

For me, there remain

things left undone.

Even if I have to devote my

next seven lives to it...

...my vengeance...

cannot be denied.

So I... must let this child wreak

my vengeance for me.

I'll die... so my spirit can

be embodied in her!

That's the only... method of

vengeance I have left.

Otora...

I beg you...

Okiku... please take

care of this child.

You were born for vengeance...

Such a poor child...

A child of the netherworlds...

...but, Yuki...

...you must avenge

us without fail...

...your father... your big brother...

...and me...

...Yuki...

...my...

Sayo! Sayo!

Sayo!

Sayo!

She took care of the baby with the help of

Dokai, a priest and former liege vassal.

Being a "child of the netherworlds", Yuki

received severe training from Dokai.

Weighing down her little shoulders

were sad thoughts of vengeance...

...but despite this, Yuki endured great

hardships, and survived the training.

Meiji 15 (1882)

Kashima Yuki, Age 8

Stretch out your hands

and feet...

Don't get thrown out, Yuki!

Yessir!

Here we go...

Yuki!

Stand up! Stand up! Yuki!
