A great big difference.

The most inept man and the coolest man.

Kosugi-san has fought 24 times.

He always stares death in the face.

You are conceited and

always take the easy way out.

Here's the difference.

No. It's here.

Rude and arrogant ones

will not ascend to Heaven.

Pressing onward.

Training sincerely.

The man who was executed never once came here.

That's what everyone said.

Can't say he's a man.

Poor thing.

He died without knowing what's good.

I wish I could've showed him.

What? No side dishes?

Don't be picky.

Back home you were eating fish and potato leaves.

We're on the battlefield now.

Why don't you have even a single dish?

What I don't have I don't cook.

That's how a first-rate chef operates.

I see.

Then what's this?

That's for the higher-ups to eat.

The commander?

Don't touch!

Why'd you do that?

Shut up!

Go to hell! Length of service

is what counts in the military,...

not your rank. I have 7 years

of experience. I'm a veteran.

Got complaints? Then take it up with me.

I'm ready.

Sergeant. A little something.

Juicy, tender, and charcoal-broiled.

Thanks.

Go ahead and eat. It's a hen.

A female?

Right.

Looks like a schoolgirl virgin.

You can't fool me with that.

Fool you?

You're military police sent by the commander.

He thinks we're trying to coax him.

Why would we coax a lowlife like you?

Relax and eat it.

You don't have to eat it if you don't want to.

You lousy beggar!

What did this guy do to get sent here?

This guy...

He's a big guy, but a great coward.

What could you understand?

Want to play rough!

Go ahead. Hit me!

I'm against violence.

What did he do?

He didn't do anything

and got sent to the brig.

He said he didn't like shooting a rifle.

Oh?

He's pretty dirty. Been here long?

Almost 2 years.

Leaving Yoshino, heading home

on the mountain wind.

Clouds and flags flutter.

The enemy's voice echoes.

Harada, let's stop.

I'm beat. Let's sleep.

Can we?

It doesn't matter. The commander

won't know. He forgot about us.

Without taking his head.

Cheer up.

Live to go home again.

Prepare for death.

The weak enemy will crumble.

Private Mochida. I'm here to

return the pick and shovel.

I'm here...

It's looking dangerous.

Take aim at the enemy's weakness.

Thoughts of taking the enemy's head.

Pressing onward

Though our allies are few.

A new enemy surrounds us from afar.

The MP sergeant is in the brothel.

The MP corporal is snoring loudly.

Now is the time if you wish to run away.

Sergeant! Sergeant!

Now is the best time.

Sergeant.

Don't dilly dally.

Quickly. Hurry.

It's useless doing this if

the commander has forgotten about us.

We have to sing at his bedside.
