I'm living in a strange and far away country
But I feel a bond to this land
A bond that is stronger than for my homeland
And I will forever fight for them
The Siamese's bravery has become a threat
The Emperor has sent an army to spy on them.
They've began to pay attention to us
All the men we've sent are dead
They know that we aren't just regular merchants
We must come up with a different plan
We need more backups
-Then that's accepting defeat
This is a dead body of the Siamese soldiers
They launched an ambush on us tonight
This is how you guys operate?
How could you let them know my location?
I don't want to hear anymore about any failures
I will give it my all, sir
It's you?
"Đông Doanh" doesn't have useless people like you
A dying man must be save
Even if he's of the enemy
We can defeat an enemy in many ways
But you never kill a person that has no will to fight
We fight with honor and bravery
We cannot commit such vile and horrible crime
You all must remember that we are children of Japan
We're not permitted to back down from any enemy
We're not allow to fail!
He's awake
He opened his eyes
May be he's really thirsty
Sister, why can't he get up?
He's not fully recovered
He can't sit up yet
Miss, where am I?
This is Ayothaya province
This year the leader roles are to be held by the same individuals
I feel that they did their duties well
Anyone that opposes can come up to challenge
I think I can replace him
Perhaps, we're the best warriors
But we still need unity
I want you all to respect your leader
Because that will help you all become one.
Without unity comes defeat, no matter how good we are
The road ahead still has a lot more challenges
We will not be able to avoid casualties
Watch it until it bubbles okay?
-It's so hard to smell
It's the bitter medicines sir "Monk" told us to brew
We won't be able to find any better medicine
This is sir "Monk's" medicine that my sister cooked
It's really bitter right?
It's a lil hard to drink but it's very effective
Thank You
-You speak weird. What's your name?
Yamada
Your name is weird too
-He's not from here
My sister name's Champa
Cham..pa?
-Yamada has been bribed by the enemy?
-How can that be?
I've seen it with my own eyes. There's no mistaken
Then your top priority now is to kill that traitor
Yes sir
Is there a battle going on?
I know your mind is not at peace right now
But don't worry, if you don't hurt anyone
You will be safe here
I know that you are our enemy
But once you're here, you are a guest
Last night was just our monthly full moon ceremony
It's always loud and crowed like that
You don't have this festival in your homeland?
I told you that he's from a very far place
If you're not clear on anything, just ask me
Everyone is very kind here
Her name is Champa and I'm her sister
-This is betel and betel leaves
Betel?
Sir "Monk" and the elders really loves this fruit
When eaten with the leaves, it has a nice fragrant and bitter
Try it, it's our village's specialty food
Take a bite
Chew on the betel leaves after that
Spit it out
Spit, spit it out
You want to talk to me about something?
If it's to say thank you then please don't say it
The people of "Đông Doanh" never forget their savior
Even if you're the enemy, how can I not save a dying man
We're the same
We're humans
Why must we distinguish from one country from another?
You can leave this place at any moment that you wish
-What are you doing here?
-Thank you
It's him that saved you
I thank everyone for all that you've done
I just hope people like you don't bother us anymore
Everyone here just want to have peace
I understand
Noone likes to invades or likes to be invaded
I've grown more accustom to the lifestyle here
It creates for me a peace of mind
A lifestyle with no fighting and killing
In all my life, I've never been so at ease
Everyone here is very good to me
Even when I used to be their enemy
I feel confused
I don't know which side to stand for
My country...
or them?
Is it good?
Very good
Eat some more if you like it
Why you only getting food for him?
I want to eat this one, this one too
-And this one
Here
I've recovered and began to work like everyone else
I do the things...
that only women need to do in my country
I also taught them things that don't know about
The kid seem to really enjoy my style of grilling fish
I can even freely watch them train martial arts
The way they fight really differs from us
It's very practical and not flashy
I feel a very special bond with them
It's like I belong here
I feel like I was born again here
I feel a special tie with the place
You've brought danger here to this village
That's the way we treat a guest here?
Didn't he not fight off the enemy with us?
The masked men were here for him and not us.
What's are the things that I've taught you?
Was happened really his fault?
He's no longer our enemy
His time here has changed him.
Do you see the things he's done?
-He fought off his own people
-They all deserved to die
Don't assume things about all people.
The "Đông Doanh" has bad but also good people as well.
"Fight those that run away, not ones running back"
If one day he rebel against us
I will be the person giving out the order to kill him
Champa, you don't need to worry too much
How can they blame it on him?
Sir "Monk" won't kick him out
- They are too powerful
- Silence
We see death as the same as returning home
We already don't fear death, then why be scared of them?
I've begin to think about my future
I don't fear death and I really want to live here
But I'm afraid that I'll hurt the same people that saved me
Don't be so down.
Everything is not your fault
What happened was because
they worry too much about the safety of the village
I understand their concern
After all, it's the safety of their families
It's also retribution for the things I've done
Right now I feel very ashamed
Ashamed that I was blindly loyal to my country
To the point where I don't know what's right and wrong
With you guys help, I've found my own path to walk
It's the path of righteous. It's what I didn't have before
Don't think about it too much
Everyone here doesn't hold grudges about the past
My parents died in the war
But even so I don't have hatred for countries that try to invade us
I understand that they also don't have a choice
Because everyone wants peace deep in their heart
You fight so boring
You know you can go in there and practice with them
I didn't know that you suck so bad
You're no match for them
Don't practice with them any more
Why don't you ask sir "Monk" to train you?
I wish to learn your arts and become stronger
I will not teach you if your mind is not yet at peace
My mind is at peace and the reason I wish to learn is for a good cause
What is a good cause?
Can you explain that to me?
Because when you become strong and powerful. It's very easy to walk down the wrong path
By then there will be dire consequences
-Why do you train in martial arts?
-For righteousness and to protect Ayothaya
For peace of Ayothaya village
I believe that there's still righteous in this world
With all your heart, you're doing it for Ayothaya?
I will protect Ayothaya village with my life
-Why?
-This place has become my home
And I will not let anyone harm my home homeland
I will forever fight for the righteousness that's in my heart
I wish to risk my life for Ayothaya
Ayothaya village is very proud to have a warrior like you
I hope that you will dedicate yourself...
To the peace of this village
I pray that you will always keep the righteousness inside your heart
Before you train, I want you mind to be calm
To be strong is not to be good at killing
But it's about always keeping calm in any adversities
Ayothaya's martial arts places importance on speed and power
It's not flashy, showboating. It's very practical
Using arms
Using legs
Using knees
Using elbows
That's the 4 basic forms
The important thing now is that you practice on speed and power
And you must remember 1 thing that martial arts is not use for show
But it's for destroying the enemy and self protection
It's from the 4 basic forms that each individuals create their own moves
If there's two with the same speed and power
Then the deciding factor
Will be your dexterity and how well you receive the other's moves
You should create your own type of martial arts
You improved very fast
The "Warrior's Selection" competition is soon
I hope that this time you guys don't participate
I want to create chances for the new warriors
Can we rely on them?
I have no doubt that they will surprise us
But I've heard that the selected warriors will have a dangerous mission this time
Then it's gonna be their challenge
If they're truly worthy, they will surpass it
Nothing is a coincidence in this world
Each things happen due to its fate
And they all have its reasons. We don't need to question it
I believe that they will bring honor to Ayothaya village
Place accept this as a gift
- I remembered that your sword is kept by sir "Monk"
- I forged this one myself
This is a sword of the "Đông Doanh's" people?
- The "Đông Doanh's" skill of forging sword is top notch
I think that the sword is too flimsy
But it's the samurai's most dangerous weapon
And we must admit that's it's a lot sharper than our weapon
At Ayothaya village, there's no other weapon this perfect
I will show you guys
- Thank you for all your help
- It's all due to your effort and hard work
We can't forge swords as good as this
Thank you very much
He seem to like the sword I gave him a lot
He said never before has he hold such a valuable weapon
And he promised to protect the sword as if it was his own life
I've become one of the warriors of the village
They no longer see me as an outsider
As time passes, I feel my tie to the land has become stronger
We always train a little bit more every night
I want to become one of the elite warrior in the land
That's the best honor for any warrior
I have nothing left to teach you
The competition to become the King's Warriors is near
Don't ever be ashame about your past
The important thing is what you can do for this land moving forward
Battle it out as if you're on the battlefield
In this competiton, there won't be any mercy
- I wish you luck son
- Thank you master
After this ceremony is completed. You will become a Siamese Warrior
Your past is no longer important
Don't ever let it haunt you
Instead fight and strive for what's ahead of you
And pay no mind to anyone that look down on you
Because the value of a person lies not in their skin color or their past
It lies within what you have done for the people
You all are elite warriors of Ayothaya
Every year the selected few like yourselfs...
Will have a competition that brings great honor to this land
A competition amongst the best warriors between the 2 lands
In this competition there won't be any rules at all
Those that survive would be greatly rewarded
Your highness, the people of Myanmar have sent a messenger here
They want to meet us at the "Hill of Death" at noon tomorrow
We received the shame of failure last year
You all are the best warriors in this land
I want you guys to kill all the warriors that they considered elite in their country
Spare noone
Let them know that the people of Myanmar
Is a superior race
So that later on we can even move troops to invade them
Yes sir
Your highness, it's almost time.
All the Ayothaya warriors are ready
They are awaiting for your order
Very good
Prepare to move out
Please don't rush my king.
I wish to have a few words with them
You all know about their plot to invade us
If they win, we'll lose our best warriors
Because of that, I hope the King could you them your blessing
I wish that you all victory over the enemy and to return home
Thank you your highness
Regardless of any situation, you all must remain calm
You must do so under any trickery of the enemy
Their trickery would only show that they're weak
We've won this competition for many years
There's no reason why we'd be defeated this year
We will bring back honor for Ayothaya
It belongs you now son! I hope that you and it will bring victory to Ayothaya
translated by cudencuden from vietnameasy subtitle.
Ayothaya will forever remember your deeds
The citizen of this land are in your debt
Pick up one stone from the "Almighty Mother"
This country will carry-on with all of you
I hope that you all will continue to fight for this country
We are not barbarians.
We're just protecting our peace
Anyone that threatens our peace. They're our enemy
And we won't have mercy for any enemy
It's because this home has our families, wife and kids, and our dearest
We are of two different ethnics
But we wish to create a bond of brotherhood
"Together we rize, and together we shall fall"
Forever be loyal to Ayothaya
Forever protecting the peace of Ayothaya
Whoever goes against these words will be punish by death
Dear the earth and heavens, please witness our vows
That guy dances so much like a monkey
One day, I'll ask my sister to teach you to dance way better than him
Is something troubling you?
It's time for me to go
There's one thing that I must take care of myself
If not those "Đông Doanh" people will keep stirring up trouble here
I don't want to people here to suffer because of me any longer
Noone blames you
But I will blame myself
I know the "Đông Doanh" people very well
Because I used to be one of them
They will not spare anyone
By any means, they will complete their mission. Even if it means death
Besides, it's just retribution for what I've done
It has to be me that resolves it.
This time, if I'm lucky to survive..
I'll return and live here forever.
By then, I hope that everyone still welcomes me.
The people here will always welcome you
In my home country, this is a lucky doll
- So pretty - Hang it by the window
- It will bring good luck to you and your sisters
I don't want you to go
You really want him to come back right?
Me and you still have unfinished business
I am not a traitor
No more words, today only one person will be left standing
Kill him
My brother!
I don't regret it because we both are chasing righteousness
I don't regret it!
My brother
My brother!!!
My brother!
...Brother!
Brother...!
Brother!
Buddha please protect him
I know that he walked down the wrong path before
But he's changed man
He's a good person
I will always remember you my brother
I never would have thought that another man would give up his life for me
You will forever live in my heart
Once again I thank you.
I promise that your homeland will now be the same as mine
And I will fight to protect it with my life
As long as I'm alive, no invading troop...
Will ever set fool on our homeland
I also want to thank you
For always believing in me
Believing in my virtue. Believing in my capability
Your trust will never be in vain
You can rest in peace.
Our home...
will always have peace.
Because of this land that I've found my self-worth again.
I found a path of life for me to walk
And I'll keep walking on this path together with this land
I, Yamada, thanks the heaven for bringing me here
