What a troublesome bunch you are.
I really don't know what I'm going to do with you guys.
But if you really wanna know, we'll tell you.
Fine, if you insist, we'll tell you the story.
Take a seat there and listen up.
Go on, take a seat and listen up.
A long time ago, but not really that long ago.
A long time ago... Well, not that long ago.
This is about a little while ago.
This all happened pretty recently.
There are many cities in the world of beasts.
Of all the world's many beast towns, Jutengai here is the busiest.
As many as 100,000 beasts live in the remarkably busy Juutengai.
There are roughly 100,000 beasts living in our bowl-shaped valley.
The grandmaster who's been leading them for a long time,
One day, their lord and leader of many years
announced that he'd retire and reincarnate as a god.
declared that he would retire and be reborn as a god.
He didn't know what kind of god he wanted to become,
Once he'd settled on which god to become,
but he allowed a successor to be chosen.
he would have to choose their new lord,
He told everyone to prepare for this.
so he commanded the others to ready themselves for this.
Strength and dignity were obvious requirements.
His successor had to have first-rate strength and character.
A beast called Iouzen made a name for himself right away.
That's why the first beast mentioned was one named Iozen.
He's a great person who's calm, brave, and has lots of disciples.
He was cool and collected, valiant and courageous—a mighty figure with many pupils.
He's also the father of two children, Ichirouhiko and Jiroumaru.
He was also the father of two sons, Ichirohiko and Jiromaru.
"He'll surely be the next grandmaster",
All the others were agreed...
is what everyone was saying.
that he was sure to be the next lord.
But there was another candidate.
However, there was another beast nominated.
His name was Kumatetsu.
His name was Kumatetsu.
As his name suggests, he looked like a bear, was swift like a monkey, possessed bottomless strength,
As his name implies, he had a bearlike appearance, as well as boundless strength and the agility of a monkey.
and wielded his sword masterfully.
He swung his vaunted longsword with ease.
When it came to strength, he was said to surpass even Iouzen.
The general consensus was that he outshined even Iozen...
By the way, this guy was a bit troublesome.
at least as far as power went.
He was violent, selfish, disrespectful, didn't have a single disciple,
He wasn't exactly easy to deal with, though.
let alone any children.
He was boorish, arrogant, and selfish, so he didn't have a single pupil.
Let's go.
Let alone any sons...
Don't touch me!
Come here, now.
You're minors, right?
Don't touch me.
We aren't!
You're underage, aren't you?
You ran away from home, didn't you?
No, we're not.
Like I said, we didn't!
But you are runaways.
Oh, indeed.
I told you, we aren't.
A baby mouse?
A baby mouse?
Still, you're so tiny.
Or something else? You're so tiny.
Just a sec.
Hold on a second.
Here.
Here.
Eat it.
Eat.
Did you run away from somewhere, too?
Did you run away from someplace, too?
I'm all alone, too.
I'm all alone, too.
All right, let's take this.
Dad, where are you now?
Okay.
This one goes there.
Dad, where are you?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Why aren't you here at a time like this?
Why won't you come for me at a time like this?
Ren, it's time to go.
Ren, time to get going.
Um, what about this?
Um, what do we do with this?
Ah, we'll take that ourselves.
Oh, we'll move that ourselves.
Oh...
Okay.
Ah, be careful.
Then, take care.
Ren, I know you're lonely after suddenly losing your mum,
Ren, I know you must miss your mom after losing her so suddenly,
but it can't be helped, it was an accident.
but it was a traffic accident; there's nothing we can do.
The head family will take you in.
The family head will take you in and look after you.
All right?
Understand?
You're our family's only boy and precious successor.
You're the only boy in the whole family line—our precious successor.
We'll raise you, so there's nothing to worry about.
You'll grow up wanting for nothing.
Ren, answer if you understand!
Ren! Would you at least answer us?!
Why didn't dad come?
Why isn't Dad here?
Forget about him.
Just forget about him.
Why?
Why?
He's my dad.
He's my dad.
Don't you already know that your mum divorced him?
You know that he and your mom divorced, right?
Plus, the courts gave us full custody of you.
The courts gave her custody, too.
He's just an outsider now.
He's not family anymore.
I'll just live by myself then.
Then I'll live by myself.
Hmph, you're just a kid.
Hmph, you're just a child.
You obviously can't do that.
There's no way you can do that.
I'll live by myself.
I'm going to live by myself.
I'll become strong and get you all back for this!
I'll become strong, and get back at you.
How can you talk like that?!
How dare you speak to us like that?!
Ren, you're-
Ren, you are—
I hate you!
You and dad... I hate all of you!
Ren, wait! Ren!
I hate you...
I hate you...
I hate you...
I hate you... I hate you...
I hate you!
I hate you!
I hate you.
You, and my dad—I hate you all!
I hate... you...
Ren! Wait, Ren!
I hate... you...
I hate them.
Chiko?
I hate them.
I'm all right, thanks.
I hate them. I hate them! I hate them!
Geez, what's with that?
I hate them!!
I just have to be stronger than Iouzen, right?
I hate them. I... hate them...
Dignity? What does that even mean?
I... hate them...
The grandmaster is asking for a bit too much there.
Chico...
How long did it take for the previous one to run away?
I'm okay. Thanks.
A month...
What's the big idea, anyway?!
I just have to be stronger than Iozen, right?
"Character"? I don't see the point.
The lord's sure asking for a lot.
How long was that last guy with you before he ran away?
A month.
A week?
A week?
A day...
A day...?
He was gone by noon!
It was that same morning! The same morning!
I hate whiny people like that!
I can't stand anyone who blubbers!
Can you afford to be picky?
Is this any time to be choosy?
At this rate, you'd be better off taking a random human or broom as your disciple.
You gotta take a pupil. Even a human would do—heck, a dishrag would do!
Is that so?
Oh, yeah?
Got it.
Fine, then.
Hey, I was just joking!
Hey, wait, I'm just kidding!
Hey!
Hey!
I said, hey!
I said hey!
Are you alive or dead?
Are you alive, or dead?
Shut up.
Buzz off.
If you can talk, I guess that means you're alive.
Well, if you're talking, you must be alive.
Where's your mum?
Where's your mommy?
Shut up.
Buzz off.
What about your dad?
Okay, where's your daddy?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Answer me!
Answer me.
Where's your dad?
Where's your daddy?
Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
If you keep talking, I'll kill you!
Say another word to me, and I'll kill you!
Who're you killing, brat?
As if you could, kid!
Let me see your face.
Let me have a closer look at your face.
A b...
B... B...
A beast...
Beast!
Not bad.
Not bad.
That's enough, don't you think?
Enough, already.
You wanna come with me?
You wanna come with me?
Eh?
Huh?
Huh?!
What?!
S-Stop saying stupid things, Kumatetsu!
D-Don't be ridiculous, Kumatetsu!
What was that?
What was that?
A dream?
A dream?
Hey you, did you run away from home?
Hey there, did you run away from home?
L-Let go!
L-Let me go!
Children shouldn't be out in the dead of the night.
It's not good for children to be out at night, is it?
Let go of me!
Let me go!
What's your guardian's phone number?
Where can we reach your family?
We'll have them pick you up.
We'll have them come pick you up.
No...
No...
Let's go.
Come along, now.
Absolutely... not!
No way! No!
Wait!
Hold it right there!
Hey, wait!
Hey, hold it!
Hold it!
Stop!
Stop!
Hey!
Come on!
Hey!
Hey!
Where is he?
Where'd he go?
Where'd he go?
Over there?
That way?
No, this way!
No, this way!
Is this really Shibuya?
Is this really Shibuya?
Huh?
Huh...?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?!
Ow!
Ow...
Huh? Huh? Huh?!
Huh?
The alley is gone?!
They way I just came from is gone!
Where's the way out?!
The way out... Where's the way out?
Hmm? What have we here?
Let go!
L-Let me go!
What's this?
A human child.
It's a human child.
What's he doing here?
Why is it here?
Perfect timing.
This is perfect, let's tear off his skin and sell it to the lute maker.
Let's sell his hide to the shamisen maker.
Maybe we should dry him out and shave off bits for bonito flakes.
Or we could slice him up and dry the meat.
Or...
Or maybe...
H-Help!
H-Help!
Stop it, you idiots!
Stop that, you fools!
Huh?
Huh?
Don't say wicked things like that.
Don't say such ungodly things.
He's acting all high and mighty.
Hmph! Pompous jerk.
Don't let it bother you.
Hey, don't worry about them.
They just look and talk a bit rough, that's all.
Their bark is worse than their bite.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
No need to fear.
I'm Hyakushuubou.
I'm Hyakushubo.
As you can see, I'm a monk.
As you can see, I am a monk in training.
You can't come to Juutengai unless you follow the exact route.
One must take a very specific route to arrive in Jutengai.
We beasts who can even become gods, and you humans who can't, live in different worlds.
We beasts, who can become gods,
Coming here by accident must have been scary.
and you humans, who cannot, live in different worlds, you see.
Come with me, I'll lead you back to your world.
You must have felt helpless when you happened to wander in here.
Come on, I will deliver you back to your world.
Yo!
Yo!
You actually came?
Did you really come here?
Ah!
Ah!
I knew you had something in you!
I expected no less.
I'm starting to like you!
I'm liking you more and more!
Come here!
C'mere.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
He's a lost child, be gentle!
This is a lost child.
Gentle?
Can't you cuddle him more gently?!
All you monks do is spout off such nonsense.
Cuddle him?
I'm telling you to not be rough!
You monks are always such softies.
I mean don't be so rough with him!
What's wrong with being rough?!
What's wrong with being rough?!
And he isn't lost.
And he's no lost child.
Starting now, he's my disciple!
As of right now, he's my pupil.
Disciple?
Pupil?
I told you already.
I said so, didn't I? Have you forgotten?
You forgot?
You're taking a human child as your pupil?!
You're taking a human child as your disciple?!
Human, dishrag, who cares?
It doesn't matter whether it's a human or a broom!
He's my pupil and that's that!
A disciple is a disciple!
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
Hold on!
I told him again and again not to do this.
Didn't I tell you multiple times not to do it?
Tatara, what's going on here?
Tatara, explain what's going on.
The lord told him that if he wanted to be successor, he had to take on a pupil.
The grandmaster told him he must have a disciple if he wants to be the successor.
But unlike Iozen, nobody wants to be this guy's pupil.
But unlike in Iouzen's case, no one wants to be his disciple.
So, while out observing some poor humans,
And just when we were sightseeing the pitiful humans,
we found this kid.
we found this brat.
That's why you kidnapped him?!
So you kidnapped him?!
He's the one who followed me.
He followed us all by himself.
That doesn't mean you can rope in someone who isn't involved!
That's no reason to get a stranger involved!
What, you're saying I can't have my eye out for someone promising?!
Are you saying I can't set my sights on anyone I think's got potential?!
Huh?!
Hey!
Hey!
He's so unreasonable.
This is so crazy.
Does he want to be the successor that badly?
Does he want to be the successor that badly?
No, no.
Nah, he just wants to beat Iozen in a fight.
He only wants to win a fight against Iouzen.
Nothing more to it.
That's all.
True, he probably has no interest in becoming the lord and advancing to godhood.
Indeed, becoming the grandmaster and reincarnating as a god doesn't seem to interest him.
Even if he managed it, he'd end up an artifact spirit at best.
Even if he became a god,
A toilet god, or a dishrag god, or something.
he'd probably be a tsukumogami at best.
The human boy is the one to feel sorry for.
"god of tool"
Should he really be left with Kumatetsu?
Maybe a toilet god, or a broom god.
Dunno, but it's not my affair.
It's the human child I'm worried about.
What's with this "pupil" thing?
Do you think it'll be okay to leave him with Kumatetsu?
I'm saying I'll feed you from now on.
Who knows.
I never asked you to.
Not my problem.
Sleep there.
What do you mean by disciple?
However, I can't stand blubberers.
It means I'll be providing for you from now on.
You start crying, and I'll kick you out.
It's not like I asked you to.
You sleep there.
However, I hate whiny people.
If you cry, I'll throw you out.
I won't cry.
I won't cry.
That's the way!
That's the stuff.
That doesn't mean I've agreed to become your disciple.
I don't remember agreeing to be your pupil, though.
Then why did you follow me?
Then why did you follow me?
Why...
Why did I...?
Even if you don't answer, I can tell.
It's plain as day you've got no place to go.
You've got nowhere else to go.
Are you taking pity on me?
Are you pitying me?
Ask me that once you've grown up a bit, you chump!
You idiot!
You gotta live on your own power, one way or another.
You can only say that after you've become an adult!
I never got your name.
You'll have to keep living alone anyway.
I'm not telling.
I don't know your name yet.
I'm not telling you.
Huh?
Huh?
It's personal information.
That's personal information.
Fine! And your age?
Bah! Then how old are you?
Nine...
Nine...
"Kyuu"
"Kyu"
All right, from now on, you're Kyuuta!
Then from now on, you'll be "Kyuta."
"ninth boy"
Why do you get to give me a name?
Why do you get to give me a name?
It's Kyuuta from now on, okay?
You're Kyuta now, got it?
Well then, I'm going to sleep, Kyuuta.
Well, I'm hitting the sack now, Kyuta.
Ren.
Ren...
I made your favourite ham omelette.
I made your favorite—an omelet with ham.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
So he ran away.
Hmph, he ran away.
I knew this would happen...
I figured this would happen.
He must have really disliked his new name!
He's still here!
It's time for breakfast!
Breakfast!
Stop it!
Stop that!
Still angry?
Are you still angry?
I was just messing around a little.
I was just having a little fun with you.
Cheer up and eat.
Cheer up and eat.
These are fresh eggs.
These are freshly laid eggs.
Not eating them raw is a waste.
It would be a waste not to eat them raw.
Or are you not hungry?
Unless you're not hungry.
I am!
Yeah, I'm hungry!
Then eat!
Then eat!
Raw eggs are...!
I can't eat raw eggs!
Huh?
Huh?
They're gross, who'd eat them!
How can I eat something raw?
Everyone does!
That's how you're supposed to eat them!
Look, like this!
Watch me!
See?
How 'bout that?!
That's just stupid.
You're crazy.
What was that?!
What did you say?!
I forbid my disciple to be a picky eater!
Wah! Watch it!
I'm not your disciple!
Pupils don't get to be picky!
I'm not your pupil!
Shut up and eat!
Shut up and eat!
I won't!
No way!
If you're hell-bent on not eating...
You better eat, or else...
What are you gonna do?
Or else what?
I'll stuff them in your mouth!
I'll cram them into your mouth!
Stop it, Kumatetsu.
Cut it out, Kumatetsu.
Be kind.
Treat him nicely.
You get it now, don't you, Kumatetsu?
Don't you get it, Kumatetsu?
Just send that brat back home.
Take that little kid back, already.
Huh?
Huh?
Where'd he go?
Where'd he go?
I hate you!
I hate you, you know that?!
Wait right there!
Hey, hold it!
Kyuuta!
Kyuta!
Kyuuta?
Kyuta?
Whoa!
Hey!
Hey!
Who'd wanna become your disciple?!
Who'd want to be your pupil?!
Wait, you!
Hold it, you little punk!
Where'd he go?!
Whoa! Where'd he go?!
The way out...
The way out...
Where's the way out?
Where's the way out?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here you go.
Nii-chan, you want some?
Brother, you want some?
I see.
No, huh?
I'll eat it all by myself then.
Okay, I'll eat it by myself.
I guess I'll start with the mandarin.
First, I'll have the tangerine.
Nope, changed my mind.
On second thought, no.
I'll eat the cherry first.
I'll start with the cherry.
Look, Jiroumaru!
Look, Jiromaru.
It's father!
It's Father.
Dad!
Daddy!
Ichirouhiko, Jiroumaru, has your training been going well?
Ichirohiko, Jiromaru...
Yes!
Are you training hard?
Father, I'd love for you to train me as well.
Of course, right away.
Master.
I'll make some time, so can you wait a little longer?
Huh, again?
Yes!
Yes!
I'm sorry.
Father, please train me, too.
Absolutely, right away.
Teacher...
I'll make some more time. Could you wait a little longer?
Huh? Again?
Yes.
Sorry about this.
Kumatetsu!
Kumatetsu!
Oh, Iouzen.
Hey, Iozen.
I heard you got yourself a disciple for the first time in a while.
I hear you've taken your first pupil in quite a while.
Yeah, but he ran off somewhere.
Yeah, and he took off right away.
Did you see him?
Have you seen him?
He's a brat about this small.
He's a little kid about this tall.
A child?
Shouldn't you grow up a little before taking in kids?
Even though you're quite the child yourself?
Oh, cram it.
Tch, shut up.
Speaking as the father of two boys,
I'm saying this as the father of two children,
someone like you with no experience doesn't have what it takes to be a guardian.
being a parent will be difficult for you because of your lack of experience.
Oh, yeah?
Is that so?!
Well, I'm the type who sticks to his guns once he decides something.
I'm the type that doesn't change his mind once he's decided on something.
But I need to find Kyuta.
Anyway, Kyuuta's really fast...
Human kids sure are speedy little guys.
These human kids...
Human?
Human?
Your disciple is a human child?!
Hey, is this pupil of yours a human child?
Master!
Teacher!
It hurts!
Ow! Let me go!
Let go!
A human?
A human?
Why is it in our world?
What's one doing in our world?
That's a human?
Is that a human?
Why's a human here?
What's a human doing here?
Oh, Kyuuta!
Ah, Kyuta!
Hold on, Kumatetsu!
Hold on, Kumatetsu.
I won't make fun of you, just put him back where you found him.
Take my advice and dump that child back where you found him.
What's the problem with a human or two?
What difference does a human or two make?
None of you probably know the real reason...
You and the others may not know this,
why we beasts and humans live in separate worlds.
but there's a reason why we live in separate worlds.
While humans are weak,
Humans are frail, which is why they have darkness in their hearts.
they can harbour darkness deep in their hearts.
If that darkness takes them over, and can't be controlled...
What if the darkness gets to him and we can't control him?
Darkness?
Darkness?
I didn't see such a thing in him.
Ha, it didn't look like he had darkness in him to me.
Listen, this problem doesn't concern only you!
Listen! This is not just your problem!
What happens to my disciple is my decision!
I'm the one who decides what I'm gonna do with my pupil!
I'm warning you, for the sake of everyone in Juutengai, stop it!
Look, I'm warning you! For the sake of everyone in Jutengai, don't do this!
For everyone's sake?
For everyone's sake?
You think you've already become the new grandmaster, Iouzen?
You think you're already the new lord, Iozen?
What?
What?
Let's see if you can stop me by force.
Go ahead, try to stop me.
We can even decide the next successor right here.
If you want, we can even settle who the successor will be right now.
Iouzen and Kumatetsu are having a showdown!
It's a showdown between Iozen and Kumatetsu!
Finally!
I've been waiting for this!
Clear the area!
Give them some room!
The new grandmaster is going to be decided?
Are they deciding who the next lord is?
Gather around!
Back up some more!
This is great!
This is nuts!
Calm down, Kumatetsu!
Kumatetsu, take it easy!
Nice, go get him!
Attaway! Get him! Get him!
I'm betting on Iouzen!
I'm taking Iozen!
I'm betting on Iouzen, too!
I've got Iozen, too!
Me, too!
Me, too!
We can't bet if everyone chooses the same guy!
Then it's not even a bet, is it?!
Well, well..
Well, well...
Father.
Father...
Stand back.
Stand back.
What's with Kumatetsu's attitude?!
What's with Kumatetsu's attitude?
Don't you have any manners?!
Doesn't he have any manners?
Are you making a fool of us?!
Are you mocking him?
Learn from Iouzen!
You could learn from Iozen!
Hey!
Hey!
Show some etiquette!
Mind your etiquette!
He doesn't have any etiquette in the first place.
Like he even knows the word "etiquette."
That idiot has turned everyone against him.
That idiot. He's turning everyone here against him.
Are they going to have a sword fight?
Are they going to cut each other up now?
The grandmaster has prohibited the unsheathing of swords,
The lord has forbidden anyone to draw their swords.
Our swords have their hand-guards tied to the sheaths, so they can't be drawn.
We all keep the hilts and sheaths tied together with cords to keep us from drawing them.
Is that... so?!
Oh, is that right?!
Hey, wait!
H-Hey, hold it!
Where'd he go?!
Where did you go?!
What's that idiot doing...?
Hey, Kumatetsu's pretty good!
That's his way of provoking the enemy.
What are you doing, you fool?
Whoa, as expected of Iouzen!
That's just his way of provoking him.
He's gonna do the same thing?
That's Iozen for you!
He got him!
"Now do that to me"?
Got him!
Idiot!
Idiot!
Damn!
Damn it!
Whoops...
Whoa-ho-ho...
We're not done yet!
I'm not done yet!
Father!
Father!
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
Ready...
There they go!
Go!
Watch out!
Out of the way!
Iozen is being cornered!
Iouzen is being driven into a corner!
Is this the end of the fight?!
Has the match been decided?!
Iozen, hang in there!
Iouzen, don't give up!
Iozen!
Iouzen!
Iozen! Iozen! Iozen! Iozen! Iozen!...
No one...
Nobody...
No one is cheering for him.
Nobody is rooting for him.
He's... all alone.
He's... all alone...
Iouzen!
Damn!
Damn!
Had enough yet?
Do you still want to go at it?
I won't stop until I've beat you!
I'll keep going until I beat you!
Give it a rest already.
Stop it, already.
What?
Like hell.
We're not done yet!
I'm not through yet!
Iouzen!
Let him have it, Daddy!
You can do it, Iouzen!
Get him, Dad!
Kumatetsu!
Kumatetsu!
Don't you lose!
Don't you lose!
Who was that?
Who was that?
There's someone who'd cheer for Kumatetsu?
Someone's rooting for Kumatetsu?
Who is it?
Who? Who?
Don't you lose!
Don't you lose!
Kyuu-
Kyu...
It's over!
That's it!
All right!
That's enough.
That's enough.
Grandmaster.
Lord!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
It's still too early for the match.
It's too soon for any match.
I haven't yet decided what kind of god I want to become.
I haven't yet decided what god I'm going to be.
Grandmaster, please punish Kumatetsu for bringing in a human.
Lord, please punish Kumatetsu for taking on a human.
You say "punish",
Hmm... You ask me to punish him,
but you seem to have punished him plenty yourself.
but you already laid him out, didn't you?
I don't care what anyone says, Kyuuta is my disciple!
Whatever... anyone says... Kyuta is my pupil...
I see you're determined.
Ho-ho, you seem determined.
Are you going to make an exception for him?
Are you conceding this exception?
It's unfortunate, but Kumatetsu can't take responsibility!
It pains me to say this, but Kumatetsu cannot handle the responsibility!
I'll take responsibility.
Then I will assume responsibility.
I'm the one who insisted on Kumatetsu taking a disciple, after all.
I am the one who prompted him to take pupils, after all.
But if he allows darkness into him...
But sir, if he has darkness in his heart...
It's not like all humans are consumed by darkness.
Nothing says that all humans will be swallowed up by darkness.
But...!
But...
Why are you always so easy on Kumatetsu?
Why are you being so easy on Kumatetsu?
This conversation is over.
The discussion is over.
Disperse!
Disperse!
Kumatetsu, be grateful the grandmaster has such a kind heart.
Kumatetsu, be grateful that the lord has a magnanimous heart.
Damn!
Damn it!
You're strong, aren't you?
You are strong, huh?
Weren't you watching?
What fight were you watching?
If I can really become strong by staying with you,
If staying with you really will make me stronger,
then I don't mind becoming your disciple.
then I'd be willing to become your pupil.
You'll probably run away again.
Hmph. I'll bet you just run away again.
These haven't expired yet, right?
These are still within their freshness date, right?
D-Delicious...
Y-Yummy...
All right, Kyuuta!
All right, Kyuta,
I'll train you thoroughly, prepare yourself!
brace yourself, because I'm gonna train you hard!
It suits you, Kyuuta.
That looks good on you, Kyuta.
Quiet!
Pipe down!
Watch carefully.
Watch what I'm about to do.
Splendid, splendid!
Nicely done, nicely done!
Got it?
Got that?
If you got it, do it!
Now, you do it.
Do it...?
Do what?
Kyuuta, do your best.
Kyuta, good luck.
Ow!
Yow!
Stop.
Stop. Stop!
Stop it!
Wh-What should I improve?
Where should I make improvements?
Heh, "improve," he says.
"Improvements", he says!
That's a laugh!
You're making me laugh!
I-I can't help it! It's my first time!
It can't be helped, it's my first time!
First time!
"First time!"
It's my first time!
"My first time!"
Hey! Shut up!
Enough, shut up!
How can he do it just by you saying "do it"?
Simply saying "do it" isn't enough.
You've got to explain how to do it from step one.
Explain properly from the beginning.
Explain?
Explain?
Isn't that the master's duty?
That's a teacher's job, right?
All right then.
What choice do I have?
First, hold your sword like oomph.
First, you grasp the sword, "grr," see?
Then do whoosh and bam!
Then you go "foosh" and "bang"!
Okay?
See?
That's it?
Huh? Th-That's it?
Like I said,
No, see,
hold it like oomph, then do whoosh and woom!
you grasp it like "grr," give it a "foosh," and "boom"!
Okay?
Got it?
Oomph?
"G-Grr," you say?
Like I said, oomph!
No, it's more "grr"!
Oomph...
Grr!
No, no, no!
No, no, no.
It's uumph.
Like "gwee"!
Uumph!
G-Gwee!
No, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
It's wuumph!
Like "gwaah"!
Wuumph!
G-Gwaah!
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no!
Gyuumph!
"Gyuwaah"!
Gyuumph!
Gyuwaah!
Gyoomph!
"Gyowaah"!
G-Gyoomph!
G-Gyowaah!
No, no, no, no!
No! No, no, no!
It's all wrong!
Completely wrong!
Man, you really catch on slowly!
You're so slow on the uptake!
No wonder I can't do it!
This is stupid! I quit!
What?!
What?!
How do you expect me to do it with that kind of teaching?!
There's no way I can do it if you teach me like this!
Stop complaining and just do it!
Stop whining and just do it!
No.
No.
Do it!
Do it!
No.
No.
Damn...!
Ah, dang it!
Kyuuta is a beginner, explain it simpler.
Kyuta is a beginner.
Yeah, I got it!
You have to teach more simply.
I'll explain it even more detailed then!
Yeah, I get it!
Grasp the sword in your heart!
Okay, I'll explain it more thoroughly!
You have one in your heart, don't you?!
Grip the sword inside your heart!
Huh? How could I have such a thing?
You've got a sword in your heart, don't you?!
Yeah, right! Are you kidding?
The sword in your heart is important!
The sword in your heart is important!
It's right here!
Right in here!
Right here!
Get it?
Do it if you understand!
Now do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
What's up with him?
What's wrong with him?
All he does is yell...
All he ever does is rant and rave.
Kumatetsu!
Kumatetsu!
Wait, Kumatetsu!
Wait up, Kumatetsu!
How can there be a sword in my heart, idiot.
Hmph, "sword in my heart" my eye, you dummy.
You should go back home.
Look, go back where you came from, already.
Huh?
Huh?
A disciple usually needs five to ten years of training.
For a pupil, training for five or ten years is common.
You won't make it if you take it so lightly.
You think you can handle that with your flimsy resolve?
If you're just looking for free food,
If you just want food in your belly,
go bother someone else in the human world.
have someone look after you in the human world.
This isn't the place for you.
There's no place for you here.
If you understand, make yourself scarce!
Now scram.
Where is he?
Where is he?
Not sure.
I'm not sure.
He said he'd be gone for 2-3 days.
He said something about being gone two or three days.
Can you tell me what a disciple is supposed to do?
Tell me, what is it that a pupil does?
First would be cleaning, laundry, and cooking.
First you do the cleaning, the laundry, the cooking...
What's with the sudden change?
What's come over you?
Is it about yesterday?
Is this about yesterday?
Not really.
Not really.
Forget about it.
Leave him be.
He may get mad quickly,
He blows his stack in a hurry, but the next day, he's forgotten all about it.
but it's all forgotten by the next day.
It's a waste of energy to worry about it.
It's not something you should be worried about.
I told you, it's not that.
Like I said, that's not it.
They're going to wrinkle like that.
They'll get wrinkled like that, stretch them out a bit.
Shake them out more.
Okay.
Okay.
I've never had a human customer before.
Mm-hmm.
Is that so?
I've never sold anything to a human before.
How long are you gonna be around?
Is that right?
How long are you going to be here?
I don't know.
I don't know.
How unsocial.
Well, that was rather curt.
Geez, these humans...
Sheesh, there's just no helping those humans.
Damn human!
You human jerk!
Damn monster!
You monster!
I heard my father talk about it.
I heard what my Daddy was saying about you!
Sooner or later, humans become uncontrollable.
Before long, humans go out of control!
I'll exterminate you while I still can!
I'm gonna bring you down now, while there's still time!
Stop it, Jiroumaru!
Stop, Jiromaru!
Nii-chan.
Brother...
How could someone so weak become a monster?
How is a weakling like him supposed to become a monster?
Next time my brother bullies you, call me.
The next time my brother does anything mean, just let me know.
I'll scold him.
I'll set him straight.
You're dead if you rat me out!
You'll be sorry if you tattle on me!
Enough, Jiroumaru!
That's enough, Jiromaru.
Seeing weak people makes me angry.
I just lose my temper whenever I see someone who's weak.
Hey, my brother is really strong!
Hey, my brother is strong!
Like a hermit, he can move things without touching them!
He can make things float without touching them, just like the sages!
Come on, show him, too!
Hey, show him, will you?
No!
No.
Doesn't father always say that strength isn't for showing off, but for kindness?!
Powers aren't for showing off.
I may still be a child, but I'll train hard...
Father always says they're for kindness' sake, doesn't he?
and one day become a great swordsman with a long nose and big tusks like father.
I'm still just a child, but I'm going to train hard,
Me, too!
and someday I'll be a great swordsman with big tusks, just like Father!
I'll become a cool swordsman like dad, too!
I will, too!
I'm gonna be a cool swordsman, just like Daddy!
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah!
Mm-hmm!
"Someone so weak", huh...
"A weakling like him," huh?
Damn!
Damn!
The hell?!
What is this?!
Who did this?!
Who cleaned up in here without asking first?!
It was your disciple.
It was your pupil.
Don't do unnecessary things!
Who asked you to do this?!
Huh?
Huh?
What's with those bruises?
How did you get those bruises?
Pitiful.
Hmph, pathetic.
Geez, aren't you ashamed of being beat up?
Aren't you embarrassed that he kicked your butt? Ah, geez...
Indeed, I'm pitiful and weak.
I know, I'm weak, and I'm pathetic.
It's as you say.
You're absolutely right.
As long as you understand.
Just as long as you know.
Then let me be blunt.
Well, if I may, what about you?
What about you?
Huh?
Huh?
He wakes up early, you sleep till noon.
He gets up early, while you sleep until noon.
He's busy, you have time to spare.
He's always busy, while you're always free.
Even though you have time, you're not doing anything.
And even though you're free, you never do anything.
Are you talking about Iouzen?
By "he," do you mean Iozen?
Even though he's busy, he's polite.
He may be busy, but he's still polite.
Even though you have time, you're short-tempered.
You're always free, but you're rude and sloppy.
What are you trying to say?
What are you getting at?
I totally get why you couldn't defeat him!
I've got a pretty good idea why you can't beat him.
What was that?!
What did you say, you little bastard?!
Say it again, I dare you!
Hey! I dare you to say it again!
I'll say it as many times as I have to!
I'll say it as much as I like!
You're the worst!
You're the absolute worst!
Calm down, you two!
Calm down, both of you!
How dare you talk like that to your master?!
Who do you think you are, talking to your teacher like that?!
If you're a master, then act like one!
If you're a teacher, then act like one!
What?!
What?!
The smallest things make you mad!
You lose your temper over the smallest things!
Hey!
Hey!
You give up quickly!
You give up too easily, saying it's too hard!
It's fine that you have the guts to express your opinion, but a disciple should just shut up and listen!
You've got some nerve, giving me advice!
In your dreams!
A pupil keeps quiet and does what he's told!
If I listen to you, I'll become stupid!
No way!
Stay still, you!
If I do what you tell me, I'll catch your stupidity!
Shut up, idiot!
Shut up, you bastard!
Forgive him, Kyuuta.
You shut up, you idiot!
This is just how he is, please understand.
Forgive him, Kyuta!
Ah, Kumatetsu, let's go outside!
Kumatetsu is just a big oaf! Be lenient!
Stop!
Ah, Kumatetsu, let's step outside, okay?
Outside!
Placeholder.
Let go! Let go!
Outside! Out! Let's go!
Damn, damn, damn!
Let me go! Let me go!
I'm trying the best I can!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Yet what's up with that kid?!
I'm doing the best I can for him, if you ask me!
You've had enough, right?
So where does that jerk get off?!
Just kick him out already.
You've learned your lesson, right?
Besides, I don't have spare time!
Toss him out, already.
I chop wood, catch fish and pick tea to earn a living!
And I am not always free!
His share, too!
I make money splitting firewood, plastering, and picking tea leaves!
Just stop, you've done enough.
I even work extra, to cover him!
So how could he say those things?!
So turn him loose, I say.
Right?!
So he's got no business saying those things about me!
I couldn't agree more.
Am I right?!
You were living alone before, so you should know.
Absolutely.
Living alone is awesome!
You see how living by yourself was so much easier, right?
No responsibilities, no annoyances!
Living alone is so nice.
You don't even have to have a full stomach!
No responsibilities, and no bother.
Uh...!
And nobody telling you the truth and setting you off.
Oops, shouldn't have said that one.
Oh, that just slipped out.
Practising till late at night is commendable, Kumatetsu.
Training this late into the night, are we? I'm impressed, Kumatetsu.
Grandmaster!
Lord!
Letting your disciple see how hard you work should serve as a good lesson.
It can be beneficial to educate your pupil by letting him see your own efforts.
Uh, yeah, that's what I was thinking...
Uh, r-right. That's what I thought.
Very well.
Very good.
These shall be your reward.
Let me offer you these as a reward.
What are those?
What are those?
Letters of introduction.
Referral letters.
Letters of introduction?
Referral letters?
Take your disciple and travel around the country.
Take your pupil and go on a pilgrimage to some other lands.
You can meet the other grandmasters in no time with these.
These will let you meet the other lords with no trouble.
B-But...
Y-Yes, but...
These famous sages can give you clues about what real strength is.
These are some noteworthy sages.
But...
You should be able to discover some clues as to what true strength is.
Well then, have a nice trip!
Still...
It was a good chance to ditch the brat.
Well, have a good journey.
But since this comes from the grandmaster, you can't refuse.
Aww, just when you had a chance to rid yourself of that kid!
Too slow!
But you can't refuse the lord's instructions.
Too slow!
Too slow!
Too slow!
Too slow!
Damn!
Too slow! Too slow, too slow, too slow!
At least eat your food slowly...
Jerk!
Excuse us for asking.
At least slow down when you're eating, guys.
We would humbly ask you the following question:
What is strength?
What is strength?
My arms aren't very strong,
I am not strong in the muscular sense,
but look, I can create illusions.
but look, I am able to create illusions.
Don't make light of it!
Don't take them lightly.
Illusions can sometimes be more real than reality itself.
At times, illusions can be more genuine than truth.
That is...
Which is to say...
That is...?
Which is to say...?
...strength.
They are strength.
What is strength?
What is strength?
Why do you seek something like that?
What can come of seeking that?
I possess some telekinetic powers,
Huh?
but no matter how strong I am, there are things I can't win against.
I have a fair amount of telekinetic power,
That is...
but no matter how great my strength, there are some battles I cannot win.
That is...?
Which is to say...
Can I ask you for something?
Which is to say...?
Could you please massage my back?
I hate to trouble you...
Telekinesis doesn't work on back pain.
Huh?
Ow, ow, ow...
but could you give me a backrub?
My telekinesis has no effect on my lumbago. Ooh...
Strength?
Strength?
You're asking the wrong person.
I'm afraid your question is misplaced in my case.
Whether it's rainy or windy,
All I do, rain or shine, is sit here like a stone.
I simply sit here like a stone.
Why is that?
Why?
To forget time, forget the world, and forget even myself, and thus transcend all reality.
To forget time, the world and myself in order to transcend reality.
Which is to say...
That is...
Which is to say...?
That is...?
She turned to stone.
She turned into stone.
Strength?
Strength?
I'm not one to philosophise.
I don't engage in philosophy.
I catch my prey faster than anyone else.
Whoever reels in the catch first...
The one who gets to taste everything in this world wins.
and savors all the world has to offer comes out on top.
If you like something, don't hold back.
If you see an opening, seize it.
That is...
Which is to say...
That is...?
Which is to say...?
TL Note: This is a pun on "An opening!" using suki (to like), which probably implies: "I do whatever I want!"
You're wide open!
An opening!
Relax, I don't eat my guests.
Don't worry, I don't eat guests.
See?
See?
If you listen to that nonsense, you'll lose your way.
You listen to their nonsense, and you only lose sight of yourself.
I was almost eaten alive!
I almost got eaten, and lost all of myself.
Strength seems to have many meanings.
The word "strong" has lots of meanings, huh?
They all said interesting things.
Each of those sages had something interesting to say.
If you liked it so much, why don't you just study quietly sitting at a desk?
Oh? Then plop down at a desk and get to studying!
At least learning like that would be worthwhile!
Yeah, doing that would be much more meaningful.
Unlike a certain someone's oomph and gyoomph!
At least I wouldn't be saying "foosh" or "gyowaah" like a certain somebody.
You have to figure it out yourself!
You have to find the meaning for yourself!
Just because you can't explain!
Says the guy who can't explain anything.
It's because you're a slow learner!
You're just slow on the uptake!
It's because you're bad at teaching!
The problem is the way you teach!
When it comes to arguing, your stamina is endless...
Don't give me that, you problem pupil!
Give it a rest, I'm tired!
You guys never run out of strength to argue, at least.
What a slow-learning disciple!
What did you call me?!
What was that?!
Give us a break, already. We're exhausted.
placeholder
Can't sleep?
Can't sleep?
Do I lack talent?
Do I not have any talent?
Are you worried about it?
Does that worry you?
He calls me a slow learner.
He says I'm slow.
I don't agree with that.
I don't think that's true.
Be it laundry or cleaning, at first you knew nothing about it,
At first, you didn't know anything about laundry or cleaning,
but with little teaching you got the hang of it quickly.
but after a little training, you soon got the hang of it.
Those who work sincerely learn fast.
You're a hard worker, and you pick things up quickly.
But...
Still...
The problem lies with Kumatetsu.
Kumatetsu is the one who has a problem.
Look at his techniques, they're a mess.
Just look at his moves. They're a mess.
In other words, he created them.
By which I mean they're outside-the-box.
But why?
Why is that?
He has no parents and no master.
He didn't have any parents or a teacher.
He became strong all by himself.
Huh?
He became stronger.
He got as strong as he is all on his own.
That is his talent and also his misfortune.
And now he is strong.
If you never listen to anyone, you can't give proper advice.
This is both his talent and his misfortune.
I see.
He never listens to anything others say, and likewise, he's never able to offer others any decent advice.
But sometimes, he says "Oh, I see."
Is that right?
Do you get it?
Still, once in a while, I do learn something from him.
"You have to figure it out yourself."
Do you know what I mean?
Exactly, I believe that's his principle.
Like when he says to find the meaning yourself?
I don't know a better way to teach.
Yes. I thought he made a valid point.
To think the peerless Kumatetsu-sama...
I don't know how I'm supposed to teach him.
would fuss over that cheeky brat so much.
Imagine, the great Kumatetsu, so hung up on an obnoxious brat.
I-It's not like that!
Th-That's not it!
Well, you weren't any better when you were little.
Well, you were plenty obnoxious yourself at his age.
Even though you were weak, you sure were noisy.
As weak as you were, you were an expert smart-mouth.
Only because I didn't have a master!
I just didn't have a decent teacher back then.
The grandmaster was the only one who'd put up with you.
Other than the lord, no one would have anything to do with you.
Because you were troublesome and would never listen, you'd get beat up over the smallest things.
They gave you up for a disobedient pain in the neck.
Damn, just remembering them pisses me off!
Crap, just remembering those jerks pisses me off!
Indeed.
Yep, they were just like you are now.
He's just like you right now.
I want that kid gone, personally,
Well, I'd prefer it if he were gone as soon as possible.
but if you want to keep being his teacher,
But if you're going to continue being his master,
you'd better start remembering everything you really wanted when you were a kid.
remember what you really wanted when you were a brat.
Well, good night.
Well then, good night.
"Find the meaning yourself," huh?
"You have to figure it out yourself", huh?
I don't get it.
I don't get it...
That's me doing you, Chico.
That was you just now.
Huh? No good?
Huh? No good?
Become like him.
You'll make it. Pretend you already have.
Huh?
Huh?
Was that you just now?
Was that you?
Become him...
I'll make it...
Become him.
I'll make it...
What am I doing...?
What am I doing?
I should at least learn the footwork.
I can at least learn his footwork.
Ow, ow, ow...
Ow! Ow! Ow!
What was that?
What's this?
What are you doing?
What are you up to?
Become him.
You'll make it. Pretend you already have.
What are you two doing?
What are you guys doing?
Are you making a fool of me?!
Are you mocking me?!
I'm not!
No, I'm not!
Then what are you doing?!
Then what is that?!
None of your business!
Doesn't matter, does it?!
You're annoying!
You're bugging me!
Huh?
Huh?
Where did he run off to?
Where'd he run off to?
What's up with that?!
Geez, what does he think he's doing?
He's like a duck following its parent.
You're like a father duck and a duckling.
I'm not a duck!
I'm no duck.
Isn't it normal for a child to imitate his parent?
It's natural for children to grow up imitating their parents.
I'm not his parent.
I'm no parent.
Kyuuta intends to learn from you from scratch.
Kyuta means to learn everything from you.
Like a baby following his parent.
Just like a baby following his father around.
A baby?
Baby?
Kumatetsu doesn't seem dissatisfied.
Oh, Kumatetsu, you're not as annoyed as you'd have us believe.
No parent would be unhappy about his child trying to become like him.
They say that no parent is unhappy when their child takes after them, but I wonder...
Hey brat, how long are you going to continue this farce?
Hey, kid, how long are you going to keep this farce up?
If imitating someone could make you stronger, there'd be no hardships!
If you could get stronger by being a copycat, everyone would do it.
Hey, don't distract us!
Hey, stay out of this.
Huh?
Huh?
Weren't you really annoyed by it?
After all your griping about it bugging you?
It's fine, just go away!
Never mind, just go away.
Hey, hey...
Hey, when did he become a different person?
What's up with him?
Good question.
I don't know.
He's taken a shine to his obedient pupil.
Maybe he's warmed up to his sincere disciple.
Ha! That jerk doesn't have it in him—
No way...
You mean it?!
Seriously?!
Oh, I've got you now.
Here!
Here, how do you like this?!
All right, I get it!
There it is!
Then how about this?!
Huh? Whoa, hold on, hold on!
Perfect!
Hold nothing.
No, time out!
Wait, wait, just a second, here!
No time outs!
I'm not waiting!
Wait, give that back!
What, seriously?
Nope!
Huh?
Huh?
Even though I'm not looking,
I'm not even watching...
I know.
and I can tell...
I know!
I can tell...!
Damn!
Dang it!
Should I try it out?
Let's test it.
Ow!
Ow!
Ow, ow, ow...
Ow! Ow!
What's wrong, Kyuuta?
What's up, Kyuta?
What are you doing?!
What the hell are you doing?
Stop, stop!
Stop it!
Huh?
Huh?
What's happening?
What's going on?
Kyuuta, you...
Kyuta, you're...
I kept observing his footwork,
After watching your feet and copying you for so long,
suddenly I could tell what he'd do next.
I've gotten so I can tell what your next step will be.
What?!
What?!
Stop joking!
Stop messing around!
That's amazing, Kyuuta!
This is a huge deal, Kyuta!
You just made me admire you for the first time!
For the first time, you've impressed me!
Kumatetsu, you better learn from Kyuuta.
Kumatetsu, you could learn something from Kyuta.
Learn from him?!
I could learn something?!
Why would I?!
Why should I?!
I don't mind teaching you.
I'd be willing to teach you.
Huh?!
Huh?!
In return...
In return...
Huh?!
Huh?!
I have no idea how to hold a sword or throw a punch,
I don't know how to hold a sword, or throw a punch, or anything...
so please teach me!
so teach me that!
Ow!
Damn, explain it in more detail!
Ow!
Ow!
Observe your opponent and become one with him.
Damn! Teach me better than this!
Ow!
Ow!
Become one!
Watch your opponent closely and match them.
That's what Kumatetsu gets for never paying attention to anyone but himself.
Ow! Ow!
Understanding his enemy is the thing he's worst at.
Match them!
That's the drawback of becoming strong all by yourself.
Kumatetsu has no regard for anyone but himself,
so matching others gives him more trouble than anything.
That's what he gets for growing strong on his own.
Ow!
Ow!
Become one with your opponent!
You have to match your opponent!
That's what I'm doing!
I am! Ow!
You can't do it at all!
No, you're not.
Acting all high and mighty, you...!
You sure talk big, you...
Explain it in more detail.
Teach me better than this.
Damn!
Darn it!
Don't get full of yourself!
Don't get too full of yourself.
I'm betting on Jiroumaru.
I'll take Jiromaru.
Me as well.
I've got Jiromaru, too.
Me, too.
Me, too.
Take this!
Take that!
You're amazing!
You're awesome!
I like strong people!
Huh?
Come over to my place next time!
I like guys who are strong!
We have lots of tasty sweets!
Come over to my house to visit some time!
So come over, 'kay?
We've got lots of yummy candy!
So come by and visit!
I did it!
I did it!
Damn!
Damn!
Just take your time when you're eating...
I asked you guys to eat slowly.
I win!
I win!
You do the dishes!
You do the dishes!
Damn!
Damn!
You've grown quite a bit.
You've gotten a lot taller, huh?
You think so, Hyaku-san?
You think so, Mr. Hyaku?
Eh?
Tata-san?
When did this happen...
Seriously?
His form is decent.
It seems so.
For a human, his progress is astonishing.
Haven't you noticed?
Huh?
The one who progressed the most is Kumatetsu.
His movements are refined and sharp.
Indeed.
You can't tell which one's the master.
Kyuuta, how old are you now?
I see, then you're Jyuunanata from now on.
"17th boy"
Kyuuta is fine.
Master Kumatetsu!
Please take me as your disciple!
I'd like to become strong like Kyuuta-san!
All right, nice determination.
Thank you very much!
Well then, go line up.
Eh?!
Eh?!
Wait at the end of the line until you're called!
Mr. Tata...
They're all still green behind the ears and don't seem to have what it takes.
When did that happen?
Hm?
For real?!
I decide what I practice!
Ho... The kid's developing a decent form.
No, I do!
So it seems.
Kyuuta's already an adult, treat him like one.
I'm impressed that he's brought a human child this far.
He is?
Oh, even you haven't noticed?
He doesn't even have any fur!
I do have fur!
Where?!
Now, now...
I win!
See ya!
Wait!
I'm not done talking!
You do the dishes!
Wait, damnit!
Hey Kyuuta, let's go to our place!
Later!
I told you to wait!
Kyuuta really is something.
Thanks to him, Kumatetsu has improved a lot.
Dad said that our unit can't let its guard down.
Kumatetsu?
Don't compare such a blockhead with father.
Huh?
Huh?
What's wrong, Nii-chan?
The one who has grown the most is Kumatetsu.
It's nothing.
He's becoming polished and sharper.
Whoops!
You're right.
Where'd he go?!
There's no telling who will become lord now.
Geez, he's really stubborn.
Kyuta, how old ha
Huh? This is...
The important thing is...
only so... because...
you keep it close...
That is so...
because... you had it... for a long time...
Say...
how do you read this?
"Whale".
Oh, so it's "whale".
I told you so!
Dunno what you mean!
Shut up already!
Hello?
They hung up!
Who was it?
No idea.
What is it?
If you're gonna be noisy, do it outside.
Can I do whatever I want outside?
That's up to you.
Let's go.
She wouldn't shut up since first class, so everyone ignores her.
Huh... So we can do whatever we want?
Hey, don't run away!
