The Last Samurai Page #5

I wanted you to meet her.

Let's change subjects.

I was walting for you In Edo.

Weren't you supposed to come?

I have a lot to do here, in Kyoto.

I couldn't leave.

But you must go back to Edo.

Because soon there

will be fighting here.

I want you to go back to Edo.

You must live

for a new era to be born.

I won't leave you here.

Don't worry about me.

My way of living is

influenced by Tokugawa.

But yours is different.

I was born into a samurai family

but our standards are changing!

We have to do something about it!

I won't leave.

I was expecting this.

That's what I like about you,

that hot-blooded passion.

That new era you're speaking of,

what is it exactly?

Will Satsuma and Choshu replace

the Tokugawa?

They might.

They might not.

That's why I want you to live.

That way you'll be able to see

if the times are really going to change.

All right?

Toranosuke...

Saccho and Tokugawa,

Sanno and Sabaku,

Kaiko and Gyoji.

They are fighting against each

other in the same country.

It doesn't make sense, does it?

But Sensei...

you say you'll serve the Tokugawa

until the end.

I know

But risking my life

made me finally find out how foolish

it is to fight against each other.

But understanding certain things

when you live in this world

does not always give you the right

to avoid them even if you want to.

Things we can't avoid?

That's right.

Do you understand?

But this has nothing to do with you.

I don't want you to get

involved, and end up like me.

- So, I want you to go back to Edo.

- No!

Even Reiko is fighting for you.

Sensei, please...

Please let me stay here with you

and allow me the chance to use

what you taught me for the Tokugawa!

You have nothing to do

with the Tokugawa!

I didn't teach you to use the sword

for fighting and to see you die!

Listen...

You are free to live

anywhere you like,

You have no duty to anyone.

So don't waste your life!

Lkemoto-san.

You have to hurry away from here!

There is going to be danger.

Sensei...

I am fine.

Toranosuke, make

sure you go back to Edo.

Sugi-san!

Hachiro-san!

Why are you in Kyoto?

Well...

Let me tell you the truth.

The Tokugawa are falling apart.

They were attacked by some

members of the Chugoku Clan

when they were sent to

Choshu by the government.

Tokugawa sent men unskilled

in swordsmanship,

They're not good samurai.

While, in the South, Choshu Clan

sent good

swordsmen and strong farmers.

But the Mimawari free corps

I came to Tokyo with

is not like the Shinsen's.

They are true samurai.

They will outwit the enemy,

and win many battles.

We could beat Choshu.

But the Choshu Clan was trained in

Western weapons and tactics.
