I'm doing this from memory, so I apologize if anything is wrong...!!
Dozens of death row convicts are lined up in bindings. The Yamada Asaemon stand around them as guards, while samurai and Shogunate officials face them from the front.
One of the samurai steps forward, holding a scroll.
"Convicts. There is only one reason you have been gathered here. You are to go to Shinkensyo, the land said to be a paradise. To whoever returns with the Elixir of Life, the Shogunate shall grant a full pardon."
The convicts begin to murmur and stir, but the official raises his voice again to silence them.
"Ah, I forgot to mention one thing. Each convict will be assigned one Yamada Asaemon as a monitor. However, space on the ship is limited. Therefore, we need you to reduce your numbers here. ...Do not remove your bindings."
The convicts are still processing the situation, but when one convict suddenly strikes the person next to him, they finally understand the meaning of the words. The convicts begin to slaughter one another.
