[00:12] Takasugi
They're in sight, Katsura.
[00:15] Takasugi
You ready?
[00:21] Takasugi
Now to really show them
something interesting.
SIGN Outbreak of the Susanoo Incident
The Other Bakumatsu!
[02:15] Okita
Huh? Where's Yamazaki today?
[02:18] Hijikata
Out on secret orders from Yoshinobu-san.
[02:20] Okita
No one said anything to me, Hijikata-san.
[02:23] Kondou
Soji, are you familiar
with the Murakami Navy?
[02:27] Hijikata
Kondo-san...
[02:28] Okita
They're the pirates who
[02:30] ---
wreaked havoc on the Seto Inland Sea
hundreds of years ago, right?
[02:34] Kondou
The shogunate's navy has succeeded in
retrieving a legendary treasure
[02:38] ---
from one of the sunken ships from that navy.
[02:41] Okita
Legendary?
[02:43] Okita
What kind of legendary treasure is it?
[02:47] Kondou
It grants riches,
[02:49] ---
manipulates time,
[02:51] ---
and allows one to rule the world.
[02:53] Okita
Rule the world?
[02:54] Hijikata
But does something like that really exist?
[02:58] Kondou
Who knows?
[02:59] Kondou
More importantly, the Murakami Navy
is under the control of the Choshu.
[03:04] Kondou
Hopefully there won't be any
trouble from those thugs.
[03:12] Katsura
Shinsaku, this plan is nuts.
Let's try something else.
[03:16] Takasugi
Are you scared, Katsura?
[03:19] Takasugi
When else can we do this?
[03:20] Katsura
This isn't the right time!
[03:22] Takasugi
Have you forgotten?
[03:24] Takasugi
Master Shoin always said that we have
to strike while the iron is hot.
[03:40] Katsura
The Choshu believe that now is
not the time to aggravate the situation.
[03:44] Katsura
Besides, there's no way this
legendary treasure actually—
[03:47] Takasugi
But wouldn't it be cool if it did?
[03:49] Takasugi
It wouldn't be so fun using
it to rule the world, though.
[03:53] Takasugi
One has to take the world for himself.
[03:56] Takasugi
That's why I'm gonna get my
hands on it and destroy it.
[04:02] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku!
[04:04] Yoshinobu
As it stands, the Tokugawa have truly
fallen if they're relying on legends.
[04:10] Yamazaki
Have you checked what's inside?
[04:13] Yoshinobu
I am under strict orders not to open it.
[04:16] Yoshinobu
What's the matter, Susumu?
[04:18] Yamazaki
We have two rats.
[04:20] Yamazaki
Stay here, Yoshinobu-sama.
[04:29] Yamazaki
Intruders!
[04:31] Katsura
They found us rather quickly!
[04:33] Katsura
This way!
[04:35] Takasugi
Don't just run away! We gotta
break through the center!
[04:37] Katsura
Even you don't have enough lives for that.
[04:40] Samurai A
Guards, hurry!
[04:45] Samurai A
Wait!
[04:47] Samurai B
There they are!
[04:52] Samurai C
Get them!
[04:53] Samurai D
Wait!
[05:05] Samurai E
Damn it!
[05:06] Samurai F
Why, you!
[05:10] Katsura
Curses.
[05:39] Takasugi
Mysterious are the ways of humans.
[05:42] Takasugi
This is definitely that legendary treasure.
[05:53] Yoshinobu
Who are you?
[05:55] Takasugi
Imperial loyalist patriots from Choshu.
The name's Takasugi Shinsaku!
[06:00] Takasugi
And this is Katsura Kogoro.
[06:03] Katsura
Hey! Don't tell them who we are!
[06:06] Takasugi
Katsura...
[06:07] ---
Strip.
[06:08] Katsura
Wha?!
[06:14] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku! Don't be hasty!
[06:20] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, this way!
[06:25] Samurai
Put it out! Get some water!
Protect Yoshinobu-sama!
[06:27] Samurai
Curse those Choshu bastards!
[06:44] Takasugi
That's why I told you to strip.
[06:53] Katsura
They found us!
[06:54] Takasugi
Time to get the heck out of here!
[07:03] Takasugi
I'm opening it.
[07:06] Katsura
What is it?
[07:07] Takasugi
It's a pocket watch.
[07:09] Takasugi
Definitely not something
you see often in Japan.
[07:15] Takasugi
Who are you?
[07:26] Takasugi
I'm not gonna let you have it!
[07:36] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[07:38] Takasugi
What was that about?
[08:00] Shoin
There are those in the world
whose bodies may be alive,
[08:03] ---
but their spirit is dead.
[08:06] Shoin
On the other hand, there are those
[08:07] ---
whose souls will remain even
when their bodies are gone.
[08:11] Shoin
You have to keep living even
if your spirit is dead.
[08:15] Shoin
Hold on to your ambition.
[08:24] Little Girl
Momma!
[08:26] Takasugi
Where's Katsura?
[08:28] Katsura
You're finally awake.
[08:29] ---
You had me worried, Shinsaku.
[08:39] Katsura
Their boats were destroyed by foreign ships,
so they can't go fishing anymore.
[08:44] Takasugi
So that's why they were making umbrellas.
[08:53] Takasugi
We won't get off scot-free now,
even if we go back to Hagi.
[08:58] Katsura
Well, we did ignore orders and
sneak onto a shogunate vessel.
[09:05] Takasugi
I had a dream about Master Shoin.
[09:08] Takasugi
He's probably scolding us disappointments
from beyond the grave.
[09:14] Takasugi
Let's go to Kyoto, Katsura.
[09:17] Katsura
Kyoto?
[09:19] Takasugi
Yoshinobu is in Kyoto.
[09:21] Takasugi
Master Shoin also said that
one shouldn't be afraid
[09:23] ---
of being different for your ambition's sake
[09:25] ---
or deceived by common opinion.
[09:28] Takasugi
For my ambition, I will go through with
things regardless of what people say.
[09:43] Proprietor
Here's your kake-soba.
[09:45] Proprietor
We added some kamaboko, too.
[09:48] Takasugi
Thanks a bunch!
[09:51] Soldier
Gramps, I'd like some tanuki-soba.
[09:53] Proprietor
Sure thing!
[09:58] Katsura
The Shinsengumi...
[10:00] Takasugi
Don't be such a worrywart.
[10:01] ---
They don't know what we look like.
[10:05] Katsura
What are we going to do now?
[10:06] Katsura
Was it really the shogunate
that stole the treasure?
[10:10] Takasugi
No clue, but we'll figure
it out when we get there.
[10:13] Katsura
Get where?
[10:16] Takasugi
Nijo Castle, where Yoshinobu is. Duh.
[10:18] Katsura
Are you insane?
[10:20] ---
How are we going to do that?
[10:24] Takasugi
By going through the front door, obviously.
[10:30] Takasugi
Yo!
[10:32] Gate Guard A
Halt!
[10:33] ---
Who goes there?
[10:35] Takasugi
I am Hijikata Toshizou,
Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi.
[10:39] Katsura
And I'm Commander Kondo Isami.
[10:44] Takasugi
We'll be going through, then.
[10:49] Gate Guard A
W-Wait!
[10:50] Gate Guard B
Intruders, capture them!
[10:52] Katsura
Not this crap again!
[10:57] Takasugi
Whoops! This way, Katsura!
[11:00] Samurai A
Where are they?
[11:02] Samurai B
Where did they go?
[11:03] Takasugi
Come out, come out,
wherever you are, Yoshinobu!
[11:07] Samurai A
There they are!
[11:07] Samurai B
This way!
[11:13] Takasugi
We can't make any moves like this.
[11:15] Katsura
Things always end up like
this when I'm with—
[11:20] Takasugi
Katsura!
[11:32] Takasugi
Owie...
[11:38] Takasugi
Who's that?
[11:40] Katsura
Look, Shinsaku.
[11:46] Takasugi
Is he a criminal?
[12:01] Katsura
Huh?
[12:03] Takasugi
What was that?
[12:08] Katsura
Shinsaku,
[12:10] ---
Lord Yoshinobu isn't here.
[12:13] Katsura
We should leave for now.
[12:32] Samurai
Wait! Get them!
[12:37] Takasugi
Damn, they're persistent.
[13:01] Takasugi
What the heck is that?
[13:17] Takasugi
What the heck is that?
[13:21] Takasugi
Katsura, what the heck are you wearing?
[13:24] Katsura
I could ask the same of you, Shinsaku!
[13:26] Takasugi
What the heck?!
[13:27] Takasugi
When did this happen?
[13:32] Takasugi
We're still in Kyoto, right?
[13:38] Takasugi
Hey, what's that?
[13:44] Takasugi
What's going on here?
[13:47] Katsura
Shinsaku, this is only just a theory...
[13:50] Takasugi
What is it?
[13:51] Katsura
It'll seem rather ridiculous when you
think about it seriously, though.
[13:54] Takasugi
Come on, what?
[13:56] Katsura
It grants riches, manipulates time,
and allows one to rule the world.
[14:02] Katsura
That's the story surrounding
that treasure, remember?
[14:05] Katsura
Those who obtain it can manipulate time.
[14:08] Katsura
In other words, perhaps in just the
short amount of time we had it,
[14:12] ---
we manipulated time and have gone
beyond it, to the Kyoto of the future!
[14:20] Proprietor
Here's your kake-soba.
[14:24] Takasugi
This ain't the future.
[14:25] ---
That old guy was here earlier.
[14:28] Katsura
If it isn't the future, then...
[14:30] Katsura
Sir, what year is it?
[14:34] Proprietor
It's the third year of Tensho.
[14:37] Katsura
Tensho?
[14:38] ---
That's not an era name I've ever heard of.
[14:41] Katsura
What happened to Bunkyu?
[14:42] Proprietor
Bunkyu? I've never heard of it.
[14:47] Katsura
What is it, Shinsaku?
[14:48] ---
Have you figured something out?
[14:50] Takasugi
There's no kamaboko added to it this time.
[14:53] Katsura
That's what you're focused on...
[14:54] Proprietor
We don't have the luxury
of doing something like that.
[14:57] Proprietor
Thanks to the new shogunate,
we're barely scraping by.
[15:01] Takasugi
The new shogunate?
[15:02] Katsura
The Tokugawa were defeated?
[15:04] Proprietor
Three years ago, a new shogun
took control of Edo Castle,
[15:08] ---
built the giant castle Susanoo in Kyoto,
and established the new shogunate.
[15:13] Takasugi
The giant castle Susanoo?
[15:15] ---
You mean that huge pile of rocks out there?
[15:17] Proprietor
You don't even know that?
[15:20] Samurai
Gramps, we'd like a big
helping of tempura soba!
[15:23] Proprietor
Well, if it isn't the Shinsengumi!
You're welcome to your usual room.
[15:30] Katsura
The Tokugawa have been destroyed,
so why are the Shinsengumi still around?
[15:33] Proprietor
They're the dogs of the new shogunate now.
[15:40] Takasugi
What going on with the Shinsengumi?
[15:43] Katsura
Yeah...
[15:44] Takasugi
Unlike earlier, they ordered
a big helping of tempura soba.
[15:48] Katsura
That's what you're worried about?
[15:49] Takasugi
Also, what's up with this place?
[15:54] Takasugi
What is everyone so afraid of?
[15:57] Katsura
Perhaps they're afraid of them?
[16:04] Takasugi
Cannons?
[16:06] Takasugi
Why are they pointed at the city?
[16:08] Takasugi
What's the new shogunate thinking?!
[16:11] Takasugi
Are you all afraid to say anything
because you're being threatened?
[16:15] Takasugi
Can you even call that living?
[16:18] Katsura
Stop it, Shinsaku! You're being too loud!
[16:41] Takasugi
How dare they!
[16:43] ---
I'm going to destroy those
new shogunate bastards!
[16:46] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku! You're being unreasonable.
[16:48] Takasugi
You knew I was unreasonable from the get-go.
[16:51] Katsura
Then I'm going, too.
[16:53] Katsura
I'll see your unreasonableness
through to the end.
[16:55] Takasugi
No, you stay here.
[16:58] Takasugi
Stay here, and figure out what's
going on with this world.
[17:03] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[17:20] Ryouma
Takasugi-san is as lively as ever, I see.
[17:23] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun!
[17:30] Mikado
There seems to be some commotion outside.
[17:33] Mugensai
Something rather interesting
appears to be happening.
[17:37] Mikado
I would like to see it myself.
[17:38] Mikado
Will you let me go outside?
[17:40] Mugensai
You know I cannot do that,
[17:42] ---
no matter how much you wish for it.
[17:53] Shinsengumi A
Who goes there?
[17:54] Takasugi
Takasugi Shinsaku from Choshu!
[17:57] ---
Coming through!
[18:12] Soldier A
Don't hesitate! Let's go.
[18:30] Takasugi
Who are you?
[18:32] Hijikata
Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi,
Hijikata Toshizo.
[18:37] Hijikata
You said your name is
Takasugi Shinsaku, correct?
[18:40] Hijikata
I can't let you through.
[18:44] Takasugi
Then I'm just gonna have to use all my might!
[18:50] Hijikata
You are exceedingly confident.
[18:53] Takasugi
Now's your chance to tuck your
tail between your legs and run.
[19:20] Takasugi
I thought the Shinsengumi swore an
oath of loyalty to the Tokugawa.
[19:26] Takasugi
Aren't you ashamed of yourselves
as warriors for bowing down
[19:29] ---
and changing masters so readily?
[19:36] Okita
Hijikata-san and the others are late.
[19:39] Okita
I wonder if something happened.
[19:41] Kondou
Soji,
[19:43] ---
why do you kill people?
[19:48] Okita
To prove that I'm strong.
[19:57] Hijikata
The code of the Shinsengumi is
to fight for what you believe in.
[20:02] Hijikata
I will keep fighting for my own
ambitions even if our master changes!
[20:07] Takasugi
Interesting!
[20:09] Takasugi
Then I accept your challenge!
[20:20] Mugensai
That's enough. Come inside.
[20:27] Takasugi
You managed to escape death.
[20:30] Takasugi
I'm interested in that long weapon of yours.
SIGN Terada Inn
[20:40] Ryouma
Legendary treasure, huh?
[20:42] Katsura
This isn't the time to be taking it easy.
[20:44] Katsura
We need to go after Shinsaku!
[20:46] Ryouma
You don't need to worry. Takasugi-san
isn't the kind to be done in so easily.
[20:52] Ryouma
You should know that better
than anyone, Katsura-san.
[20:55] Ryouma
Besides, do you recognize this person?
[21:07] Ryouma
You do, don't you?
[21:08] Katsura
We saw him in the basement
of Nijo Castle earlier.
[21:11] Ryouma
Earlier?
[21:14] Ryouma
Nijo Castle was burned to
the ground three years ago.
[21:17] Ryouma
You guys seem to have somehow come from
a Japan with a different history than ours.
[21:24] Ryouma
The treasure that was stolen likely
has the power to leap through time.
[21:29] Katsura
Leap through time?
[21:31] Ryouma
Basically, the ability to travel
freely back and forth through time.
[21:35] Ryouma
Someone must have used that
power to destroy the Tokugawa
[21:39] ---
and put a new shogun in place.
[21:42] Katsura
Is it really that easy
to destroy the Tokugawa?
[21:46] Ryouma
No, but with that power,
it would be rather simple.
[21:50] Ryouma
If you fail, you can just keep going
back in time over and over again.
[21:54] Ryouma
That's not all.
[21:56] Ryouma
You could even go back to the distant past,
[21:59] ---
find all the great warlords in history
who have forged Japan over the centuries,
[22:02] ---
and bring the most powerful
ones to this time period.
[22:07] Takasugi
So you're the new shogun, huh?
[22:10] Yukimura
No, I am one of the twelve
commanders of Susanoo,
[22:14] ---
Sanada Yukimura.
[23:50] Takasugi
Hey, Katsura, who's Sanada Yukimura?
[23:53] Katsura
Why do you ask?
[23:54] Katsura
He was a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and
[23:56] ---
one of the Sengoku period's
strongest commanders...
[23:57] Takasugi
Next time on episode 2 of Bakumatsu:
"Kill, Takasugi, for Love!"
[24:01] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

Come.
[01:19] Yukimura
I will take you to the lord of this castle.
SIGN Kill, Takasugi, for Love!
[03:02] Okita
I'm glad to see you're okay, Hijikata-san.
[03:04] Hijikata
You all came to greet me
along with the commander?
[03:07] Hijikata
I guess you underrate me, as well.
[03:09] Okita
Come, now. More importantly, the lord
of the castle himself let that rat in?
[03:14] Hijikata
Yes. I'm not sure what he's thinking.
[03:17] Hijikata
He's as difficult to read as ever.
[03:26] Okita
Didn't that man look a bit like Yamazaki?
[03:29] Kondo
Couldn't be. I killed him myself.
[03:33] Hijikata
He was a traitor who refused to
serve the lord of the castle.
[03:36] Hijikata
Don't ever speak his name
in front of Kondo-san again.
[03:40] Takasugi
I thought the Shinsengumi swore an
oath of loyalty to the Tokugawa.
(Flashback) [03:44] Takasugi
Aren't you ashamed of yourselves
as warriors for bowing down
(Flashback) [03:48] Takasugi
and changing masters so readily?
[03:52] Okita
Hijikata-san, what's the matter?
[03:55] Okita
You look like you were dumped
by a girl or something.
[03:58] Hijikata
Shut up.
[04:04] Yamazaki
Both now and in the past, there has been
no lord for me but Yoshinobu-sama.
[04:09] Yamazaki
But I can't even go back there anymore...
[04:18] Kasumi
I'm not surprised that you were
able to sense our presence.
[04:21] Hyo
Your skills haven't completely wasted away.
[04:29] Yamazaki
Children?
[04:30] Yamazaki
Those movements... Are you shinobi?
[04:33] Kasumi
My name is Kasumi.
[04:35] Hyo
And I'm Hyo.
[04:36] Kasumi & Hyo
We are secret agents working
for the Tokugawa house.
[04:41] Yamazaki
Working for the Tokugawa?
[04:43] Hyo
Yamazaki Susumu, we have
been looking for you.
[04:46] Kasumi
We want you to help us save Yoshinobu-sama.
[04:50] Yamazaki
Save Yoshinobu-sama?
[04:57] Yukimura
In here.
[05:01] Takasugi
There's no one here.
[05:07] Takasugi
Hey!
[05:10] Mugensai
Do your eyes see nothing?
[05:22] Takasugi
Are you the lord of this castle?
[05:24] Mugensai
Indeed.
[05:25] Mugensai
I am Mugensai, lord of the
giant castle Susanoo.
[05:30] Takasugi
That watch...
[05:46] Takasugi
So it was you!
[05:47] Mugensai
Oh? So you still retain your memories
of this chronometer being stolen.
[05:52] Takasugi
Chronometer? Is that what
that watch is called?
[05:55] Mugensai
Roads are divided into many paths.
[05:58] Mugensai
The same goes for time,
[06:00] Mugensai
but many do not even realize
that their path has diverted.
[06:04] Mugensai
Except for those who have
bathed in the pure light.
[06:07] Takasugi
The pure light?
[06:09] Takasugi
I don't know what that is,
[06:11] Takasugi
but does that mean this world is
different from the one we were in?
[06:15] Mugensai
Very perceptive. I am a
time wanderer, just like you.
[06:20] Takasugi
Time wanderer?
[06:22] Mugen
Yes, a person who retains their
memories of another time.
[06:26] Mugen
Which means that you and
I are one and the same.
[06:29] Takasugi
Like hell we are!
[06:30] Takasugi
I'm not the same as someone who
would threaten the townspeople with
[06:34] Takasugi
those insanely huge cannons!
[06:35] Mugensai
Oh?
[06:36] Takasugi
Give me that watch!
[06:38] Takasugi
I'm going to destroy it along
with this boring world!
[06:44] Takasugi
What's so funny?
[06:46] Mugensai
Very well.
[06:47] Mugensai
Then let me show you
something more interesting.
SIGN Terada Inn
[06:53] Katsura
Travel through time?
[06:55] Ryoma
Indeed.
[06:56] Ryoma
The man in this picture also apparently
[06:58] Ryoma
has the ability to travel
freely through time.
[07:02] Ryoma
We could regain our power
if we could use that ability.
[07:06] Ryoma
That would mean a new dawn for Japan.
[07:11] Ryoma
I think we should combine
our efforts in this.
[07:14] Katsura
I have no objections, but for now...
[07:19] Katsura
Retrieving Shinsaku from
that castle comes first.
[07:28] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama is in there?
[07:30] Kasumi
Without a doubt.
[07:32] Hyo
We have wandered across the land and
finally gotten hold of this information.
[07:36] Yamazaki
I'm really glad.
[07:38] Kasumi
Why?
[07:40] Yamazaki
If he's still alive, that
means I can save him,
[07:43] Yamazaki
even if it costs my life.
[07:49] Hyo
It's truly a good thing we came to you.
[07:58] Yamazaki
Perfect timing.
[08:00] Yamazaki
Wait here a moment.
[08:12] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, I'm coming for you.
[08:21] Takasugi
What's with this room?
It's been shaking this whole time!
[08:45] Takasugi
What are those things?!
[08:48] Takasugi
Ships? No, battleships?
[08:51] Takasugi
But what are they doing here,
so far from the sea?
[08:54] Mugensai
In 1852, in the European country of France,
[08:59] Mugensai
an airship that could travel in the
sky was created using a steam engine.
[09:04] Takasugi
Airship?
[09:06] Mugensai
These were developed from that.
[09:08] Mugensai
They can fly in the sky, cross the sea,
[09:10] Mugensai
and fire a barrage of cannonballs.
[09:14] Mugensai
This feat will educate other
countries of Japan's strength.
[09:19] Mugensai
What do you think?
Surely you find this interesting.
[09:23] Worker B
What have you done?
[09:24] Worker C
Hey!
[09:26] Susanoo Soldier A
Hey, what's going on?
[09:28] Worker D
Stop the flow!
[09:28] Susanoo Soldier A
That hydrogen we took from the water
is more valuable than your life!
[09:33] Susanoo Soldier A
You idiot!
[09:35] Worker A
Please spare me!
[09:36] Takasugi
Hey, stop it!
[09:39] Susanoo Soldier B
Do not interfere. Stand down.
[09:43] Takasugi
Educate other countries
of Japan's strength, huh?
[09:47] Takasugi
That's a pretty speech and all,
[09:49] Takasugi
but you don't take any notice of
the people who are working here
[09:53] Takasugi
or the townspeople who are being
threatened by your cannons?
[09:58] Takasugi
You've done all kinds of things
using the power of that chronometer,
[10:02] Takasugi
but I can't accept such cowardly methods!
[10:06] Mugensai
You can't accept it?
[10:08] Mugensai
But there is a saying that one shouldn't
be afraid of being different
[10:13] Mugensai
for your ambition's sake or
deceived by common opinion.
[10:18] Takasugi
Stop it!
[10:19] Takasugi
I will never forgive anyone who would
defile Master Shoin's teachings!
[10:44] Yamazaki
That's clever.
[10:45] Kasumi
The helping hands trick is part
of the art of being a shinobi.
[10:48] Hyo
Indeed!
[10:51] Susanoo Soldier E
Anything amiss?
[10:53] Yamazaki
No, there are no issues.
[11:00] Kasumi
Yoshinobu-sama is down there.
[11:06] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama...
[11:32] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama!
[11:33] Yoshinobu
Susumu?
[11:34] Yoshinobu
Susumu, is that you?
[11:36] Yamazaki
It is! I am truly sorry for
being away from you for so long.
[11:41] Yoshinobu
Not at all. Thank you for coming.
[11:44] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama.
[11:47] Yoshinobu
And you two are?
[11:49] Kasumi
I am Kasumi.
[11:51] Hyo
And I am Hyo.
[11:53] Yoshinobu
You were just infants.
Look how much you've grown.
[11:56] Yamazaki
I wouldn't have made it into this
castle without their guidance.
[12:01] Yamazaki
They are both excellent secret agents.
[12:04] Yamazaki
We can talk more later.
[12:06] Yamazaki
My apologies, but I need you to put
this on so we can get out of here.
[12:10] Yoshinobu
Wait. I can't be the only one to escape.
[12:13] Yoshinobu
We must save the emperor.
[12:15] Yamazaki
The emperor is in the castle, too?
[12:16] Yoshinobu
Yes.
[12:17] Yamazaki
But we can't stay here much longer...
[12:19] Hyo
Yamazaki-dono, we will search for the
emperor along with Yoshinobu-sama.
[12:25] Yamazaki
It's not possible.
[12:26] Yamazaki
If another guard comes by, they'll
know right away that you escaped.
[12:30] Hyo
You can leave that to me.
[12:36] Takasugi
Ouch...
[12:40] Takasugi
What the heck was that?
[12:42] Mugensai
You cannot win.
[12:44] Mugensai
I have crossed through time repeatedly
and learned military and martial arts
[12:48] Mugensai
from numerous swordsmen and warlords.
[12:52] Takasugi
We'll just have to test that out!
[12:58] Mugensai
As I said.
[13:00] Takasugi
Damn you!
[13:16] Takasugi
So fast!
[13:17] Mugensai
No, you are just too slow!
[13:24] Mugensai
You won't make any headway by
just constantly attacking head-on!
[13:31] Takasugi
You're awfully full of yourself.
[13:40] Susanoo Soldier G
Mugensai-sama!
[13:42] Mugensai
The rat is down below. Find him.
[13:44] Susanoo Soldier G
Yes, sir!
[13:48] Yamazaki
There's more security than there was before.
[13:52] Yamazaki
It'll be harder for us to escape
if we remain here much longer.
[13:55] Kasumi
Hyo will remain behind in the castle.
[13:58] Kasumi
There will surely be another opportunity.
[14:01] Yoshinobu
It seems we have no choice.
[14:02] Yamazaki
Let's go!
[14:06] Susanoo Soldier H
There are intruders. Anything amiss in there?
[14:13] Susanoo Soldier I
Hey, are you awake?
[14:15] Hyo
What is it?
[14:16] Susanoo Soldier I
There are apparently intruders.
[14:18] Susanoo Soldier I
They might have come to rescue you.
[14:22] Hyo
That sounds rather serious.
[14:24] Susanoo Soldier I
Not your problem, huh?
[14:25] Susanoo Soldier I
The Tokugawa house has
become a bunch of cowards.
[14:32] Hyo
Yoshinobu-sama, please stay safe.
[14:52] Yamazaki
Just a bit further.
[15:05] Yukimura
After 300 years, I have found you at last.
[15:08] Yukimura
To think that I have come face to face with
the last shogun of the Tokugawa house.
[15:13] Yoshinobu
That crest... Are you Sanada?
[15:15] Yukimura
How unexpectedly fortunate
for me that you would
[15:18] Yukimura
take advantage of the
commotion to try and escape.
[15:20] Yukimura
Though the lord of the castle has
prevented me from doing so until now,
[15:27] Yukimura
I am sure he won't mind if
I kill you for trying to escape.
[15:31] Yoshinobu
You two, stand down.
[15:34] Yoshinobu
Affiliations of the Tokugawa house
must be severed by a Tokugawa.
[15:37] Yamazaki
But...
[15:38] Yoshinobu
Susumu, I know that it is a warrior's
life, but let me borrow your sword.
[15:44] Yamazaki
All right.
[15:46] Yamazaki
I entrust my life to you, Yoshinobu-sama.
[15:50] Yoshinobu
Thank you.
[15:51] Yoshinobu
And Kasumi...
[15:55] Yukimura
I hope you'll give me a fight that
won't shame the name of Tokugawa.
[16:00] Yoshinobu
Sanada Yukimura,
[16:02] Yoshinobu
though it is a name I know only
through legend, I will fight you.
[16:06] Yukimura
That ancient legend will kill you.
[16:29] Takasugi
That bastard.
[16:32] Takasagi
All that crap about educating other
countries on the strength of Japan...
[16:35] Takasugi
What a stupid way of thinking.
[16:40] Susanoo Soldier J
What about you?
[16:41] Susanoo Soldier K
Haven't found him!
[16:42] Takasugi
Now what am I going to do?
[16:48] Susanoo Soldier A
That hydrogen we took from the water
is more valuable than your life!
[16:53] Takasugi
I read about it before
in a pharmaceutical book.
[16:56] Takasugi
It's a gas that's lighter than
air that makes balloons float.
[17:14] Yukimura
What is it?
[17:15] Yukimura
Have the Tokugawa become so completely
cowardly after so many years?
[17:19] Yoshinobu
Yukimura-dono, the age of the
Toyotomi and Tokugawa is over.
[17:24] Yukimura
What?
[17:25] Yoshinobu
The times have changed.
[17:29] Yukimura
My malice will never cease,
regardless of how time changes.
[17:33] Yoshinobu
Don't you understand?
[17:35] Yoshinobu
I am saying that it's time
to take off your old armor!
[17:39] Yukimura
Yes, I will take it off.
[17:43] Yukimura
After I've settled my
score with the Tokugawa!
[17:57] Kasumi
Yoshinobu-sama!
[17:58] Yamazaki
There's too much of a difference
between a sword and a spear.
[18:01] Yukimura
What's wrong?
[18:02] Yukimura
Is that the limit of the
strength of the Tokugawa?
[18:07] Yukimura
Killing you quickly is too boring.
[18:10] Yukimura
I will torture you, torment you, toy with you...
[18:17] Yukimura
And then, finally, I will take your head!
[18:23] Yukimura
My wish that has crossed over 300
years will finally be fulfilled!
[18:27] Yoshinobu
Letting your guard down
during a fight is deadly!
[18:30] Yoshinobu
Have you forgotten that after so long?!
[18:46] Yukimura
Well done, but you won't
be taking my head with you.
[18:52] Yoshinobu
This is not where you're supposed to be.
[18:55] Yoshinobu
Return to your own world.
[19:06] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama!
[19:08] Kasumi
You're all right!
[19:09] Yoshinobu
Kasumi, the shuriken I borrowed
from you was very helpful.
[19:15] Kasumi
I'm glad!
[19:17] Susanoo Soldier G
Where is the rat? Have you found him?
[19:19] Susanoo Soldier J
No, I can't find him!
[19:22] Susanoo Soldier C
Was there an order to close the windows?
[19:24] Susanoo Soldier C
There won't be any ventilation.
[19:26] Susanoo Soldier K
The exhaust fans have stopped, too.
[19:28] Susanoo Soldier G
We need to hurry and find that rat!
[19:36] Susanoo Soldier J
There he is! Over there!
[19:38] Susanoo Soldiers
Hurry! This way! Get him!
[19:40] Worker F
C-Crap!
[19:42] Worker G
That gas is...
[19:44] Susanoo Soldier K
Hey, where are you going?
[19:46] Takasugi
You guys better haul ass out of here, too.
[19:49] Takasugi
This hydrogen's gonna blow!
[19:58] Katsura
Now then, how do we get in there?
[20:05] Ryoma
What the hell?
[20:07] Ryoma
What just happened?
[20:09] Katsura
Shinsaku...
[20:17] Takasugi
Hydrogen apparently packs quite the punch.
[20:24] Mugensai
You really outdid yourself,
Takasugi Shinsaku.
[20:28] Takasugi
Unfortunately for you, this means
your boring plans are toast.
[20:33] Takasugi
Now then, let's settle this.
[20:36] Mugensai
That will not be necessary.
[20:40] Takasugi
The chronometer!
[20:56] Katsura
The flames disappeared?
[20:59] Ryoma
What are you talking about, Katsura-san?
[21:02] Katsura
You saw it too, didn't you?
[21:03] Katsura
There were flames coming from the castle!
[21:05] Ryoma
Huh?
[21:08] Katsura
Don't tell me...
[21:14] Takasugi
What the...
[21:22] Mugensai
How unfortunate for you.
[21:30] Takasugi
That's what did it?!
[21:31] Mugensai
Yes. With this chronometer,
everything you do is futile.
[21:37] Takasugi
I'll be the one to decide what's futile!
[21:45] Takasugi
Does it entertain you to rely
on such a cowardly object?!
[21:52] Mugensai
Foolish boy.
[22:06] Katsura
What was that?
[22:12] Takasugi
Damn that bastard!
[22:15] Takasugi
I'll make him pay for that!
[23:51] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[23:52] Katsura
Shinsaku! Shinsaku!
[23:53] Takasugi
What's the matter, Katsura?
[23:54] Katsura
I think you know what's the matter!
[23:56] Takasugi
Next time on episode 3 of Bakumatsu:
"Ryoma's Assassination? Assassin from the Past!"
SIGN Ryoma's Assassination?
Assassin from the Past!
[24:00] Katsura
Uh, are you listening to me?
[24:01] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

[01:07] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[01:09] Katsura
You're all right!
[01:10] Takasugi
Idiot. Like you could get
rid of me that easily.
[01:14] Katsura
Honestly, you had me worried.
[01:17] Ryoma
That's Shinsaku for you.
[01:21] Ryoma
You always keep me on my toes.
[01:24] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[01:25] Ryo
We haven't seen each other since
Nagasaki, Takasugi Shinsaku.
SIGN Ryoma's Assassination? Assassin from the Past
[03:18] Hyo
The sleeping drug is wearing off?
[03:20] Hyo
I'll just put you to sleep again.
[03:32] Susanoo Soldier L
What's all the racket?
[03:37] Susanoo Soldier L
Scoundrel!
[03:38] Susanoo Soldier L
Huh?
[03:42] Susanoo Soldier L
The rat has escaped!
[03:49] Susanoo Soldier L
Where did she go?
[03:52] Mugensai
Escaped?
[03:53] Susanoo Soldier N
My sincerest apologies!
[03:55] Susanoo Soldier N
The guard was asleep, and by the
time we noticed, it was too late.
[03:59] Mugensai
Damn you, Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
[04:02] Mugensai
Well, no matter.
[04:10] Hisako
Don't tell me... Is the source of
your power growing weaker?
[04:16] Hisako
We have to find him at once.
[04:41] Mikado
That's an unusual place for a visitor to enter.
[04:44] Hyo
Could you be... the emperor?
[04:48] Mikado
Yes, I am.
[04:50] Hyo
I am Hyo, a special agent
for the Tokugawa house.
[04:53] Mikado
Are you the one who's been
causing all this ruckus, little one?
[04:57] Hyo
L-Little?
[04:59] Susanoo Soldiers
Where did the intruder run to?!
[05:00] Susanoo Soldiers
This way!
[05:01] Susanoo Soldiers
Hurry!
[05:05] Mikado
Get in.
[05:09] Susanoo Soldier P
She's not here.
[05:11] Susanoo Soldier O
I guess we were wrong.
[05:14] Mikado
They're gone. You can come out now.
[05:17] Hyo
Thank you for saving me.
[05:24] Takasugi
Sakamoto, what are you doing here in Kyoto?
[05:31] Takasugi
Is that...
[05:32] Ryoma
This is a man named Seimei.
[05:35] Ryoma
He also apparently has the
power to travel through time.
[05:40] Takasugi
Power to travel through time?
[05:42] Ryoma
I'm thinking about finding this
guy, returning to the past,
[05:46] Ryoma
and making a new age where
there's no Tokugawa or Mugensai.
[05:50] Takasugi
Hold up a second.
[05:51] Takasugi
You're going to go to the
past using his powers?
[05:54] Ryoma
Yes, that's right.
[05:55] Takasugi
I don't like that idea.
[05:57] Ryoma
What?
[05:59] Takasugi
There are right ways and
wrong ways to take control!
[06:01] Takasugi
Going back to the past and changing history
[06:04] Takasugi
so that it suits your needs
is absolutely idiotic!
[06:09] Ryoma
It's idiotic?
[06:10] Takasugi
Yes, it's idiotic!
[06:13] Ryoma
I think fussing over how one
takes control is far more idiotic.
[06:17] Takasugi
What?!
[06:18] Ryoma
Besides, our enemy possesses
that same power.
[06:22] Ryoma
What's wrong with us using it, too?
[06:24] Ryoma
I say we should make use of it.
[06:26] Takasugi
Sakamoto.
[06:28] Takasugi
Don't forget what Master Shoin said.
[06:31] Takasugi
"No matter what he may
face, a truly wise man
[06:33] Takasugi
considers whether his
actions fall within reason."
[06:37] Takasugi
What you're trying to do defies reason.
[06:41] Takasugi
In other words, it just makes
you a coward like Mugensai!
[06:46] Ryoma
You're calling me a coward?
[06:48] Katsura
Hey, that's going too far, Shinsaku.
[06:50] Takasugi
Anyway, I'm going to blow Mugensai
away and destroy that clock myself!
[06:55] Takasugi
Nothing can happen until we do that!
[06:58] Katsura
Calm down, Shinsaku.
[06:59] Takasugi
Stop fussing at me and get ready, Katsura.
[07:03] Takasugi
We're gonna break into that
castle and bust stuff up!
[07:11] Takasugi
Takasugi-san, we should
avoid pointless conflict.
[07:14] Takasugi
Pointless?
[07:15] Ryoma
It's obvious that anyone who
attacks an opponent as powerful
[07:19] Ryoma
as Mugensai head-on is bound to lose.
[07:22] Ryoma
That's why I think that the best thing to do
[07:25] Ryoma
is go back in time and rebuild
Japan from the ground up.
[07:29] Takasugi
You just don't get it, do you?
[07:33] Katsura
Stop it, Shinsaku!
[07:34] Takasugi
Let me go, Katsura!
[07:36] Takasugi
I'm gonna knock some sense into this guy!
[07:37] Ryoma
You're the one who doesn't get it!
[07:49] Takasugi
Why, you...
[07:53] Katsura
Knock it off!
[07:56] Katsura
Our enemy is Mugensai!
[07:58] Katsura
This is no time for fighting our own comrades!
[08:01] Takasugi
Comrades?
[08:02] Katsura
What, am I wrong?
[08:05] Takasugi
Sakamoto and I aren't comrades.
[08:08] Ryoma
You're so mean, Takasugi-san.
[08:11] Ryoma
But you may be right.
[08:13] Ryoma
Since you came from a
different course of time,
[08:18] Ryoma
we might never see eye-to-eye.
[08:21] Katsura
Huh?
[08:22] Ryoma
I figured it'd be better to work together,
[08:25] Ryoma
but forget what we talked
about earlier, Katsura-san.
[08:28] Katsura
Hey, Sakamoto-kun!
[08:30] Katsura
Wait a minute!
[08:34] Mugensai
Sakamoto Ryoma?
[08:36] Susanoo Soldier Q
Yes, he has apparently made
contact with Takasugi Shinsaku.
[08:41] Hisako
Ignoring this might be dangerous.
[08:44] Mugensai
We must end him before he
becomes a greater obstacle.
[08:48] Basho
Mugensai-sama.
[08:52] Basho
Please let me handle this task.
[08:58] Hyo
This is quite the nice room you have here.
[09:01] Hyo
It's much nicer than Yoshinobu-sama's.
[09:06] Mikado
I've held this office for quite a while.
[09:09] Mikado
You said you were a special agent
of the Tokugawa house, correct?
[09:13] Mikado
Where is Yoshinobu now?
[09:15] Hyo
Yoshinobu-sama was
imprisoned in the dungeon,
[09:18] Hyo
but Kasumi and I, along with one other,
broke him out yesterday.
[09:23] Mikado
So that's what all the fuss has
been about since yesterday.
[09:28] Mikado
I hope he is well.
[09:32] Hyo
There is a way for us to find out
if Yoshinobu-sama is well.
[09:49] Hyo
There, that's a good boy, Zundamaru.
[09:52] Mikado
Zundamaru?
[09:54] Hyo
Yes!
[09:55] Hyo
We can use him to find out!
[09:59] Katsura
Honestly, fighting with him like that...
[10:02] Katsura
Some mature adult you are.
[10:04] Takasugi
It's not my fault.
[10:06] Takasugi
He was going on about stupid stuff,
[10:08] Takasugi
and I hate when people are unreasonable!
[10:11] Katsura
While it's true that you and
Sakamoto-kun see things differently,
[10:16] Katsura
you both share the same ambition of
wanting to make Japan better, don't you?
[10:23] Katsura
What, now you're quiet? Am I right?
[10:26] Takasugi
Shut up!
[10:27] Takasugi
I was just remembering
some things from the past.
[10:31] Katsura
The past?
[10:32] Takasugi
Yeah. It was quite a while ago now...
(Flashback) [10:38] Ryoma
How was Shanghai, Takasugi-san?
(Flashback) [10:41] Takasugi
Pretty surprising, actually.
(Flashback) [10:43] Takasugi
Other countries are far ahead of us, it seems.
(Flashback) [10:47] Ryoma
I thought they might be.
(Flashback) [10:49] Takasugi
Sakamoto, Japan has to look
to foreign countries more now.
(Flashback) [10:55] Takasugi
Cast aside the old and bring in the new.
(Flashback) [10:58] Takasugi
We need the courage to accept that change.
(Flashback) [11:06] Takasugi
What's so funny?
(Flashback) [11:08] Ryoma
I can't help but laugh.
(Flashback) [11:13] Ryoma
Takasugi-san, I was just
thinking the exact same thing.
(Flashback) [11:20] Ryoma
We'll need lots of money to
change the country, though.
(Flashback) [11:24] Ryoma
That's why I'm going to make money
in the naval industry first.
(Flashback) [11:29] Ryoma
And then I'll use that money
to finally clean up Japan.
(Flashback) [11:35] Ryoma
This country will be beautiful
once we wash off the filth
(Flashback) [11:38] Ryoma
that's accumulated over the past 300 years.
(Flashback) [11:40] Ryoma
And then we'll make a new
Japan with our own hands.
(Flashback) [11:45] Takasugi
A new... Japan?
(Flashback) [11:54] Ryoma
What's that?
(Flashback) [11:55] Takasugi
It's a handgun I bought as a gift in Shanghai.
(Flashback) [11:57] Takasugi
It's a pretty valuable item.
(Flashback) [11:59] Ryoma
Let me see it.
(Flashback) [12:01] Takasugi
According to the old man running
the shop, it brings good luck.
(Flashback) [12:07] Takasugi
Take it.
(Flashback) [12:08] Ryoma
Huh?
(Flashback) [12:09] Takasugi
I'm giving it to you.
(Flashback) [12:11] Takasugi
Since you and I are kindred spirits
who share the same ambition.
(Flashback) [12:15] Ryoma
Kindred spirits?
(Flashback) [12:16] Takasugi
Yeah.
(Flashback) [12:18] Takasugi
Let's make a new Japan,
(Flashback) [12:20] Takasugi
no, a new and interesting Japan together!
(Flashback) [12:24] Ryoma
A new and interesting Japan, huh?
[12:31] Takasugi
Well, that's what we talked about then...
[12:35] Takasugi
But since time has been all
messed up by that chronometer,
[12:39] Takasugi
I don't know what this Sakamoto is thinking.
[12:50] Kasumi
Yoshinobu-sama!
[12:53] Kasumi
There's an abandoned temple just up ahead.
[12:56] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, I am truly sorry for
the inconvenience I have caused you.
[13:01] Yoshinobu
Don't be silly.
[13:03] Yoshinobu
You two have gone to great lengths for me.
[13:11] Yoshinobu
An owl?
[13:13] Kasumi
It's Zundamaru!
[13:17] Kasumi
He has a letter from Hyo!
[13:20] Proprietress
I've already told you everything
I know. Please leave!
[13:31] Ryoma
That's that, then.
[13:34] Izo
How long are you going to keep doing this?
[13:37] Izo
Seimei is in Susanoo Castle, isn't he?
[13:39] Ryoma
Probably.
[13:41] Izo
Then why?
[13:42] Ryoma
Mugensai has likely already ascertained
[13:45] Ryoma
that Takasugi-san has
been in contact with us.
[13:48] Ryoma
So I figure if I keep doing things out in
the open like this, he'll try something.
[13:53] Izo
Weren't we supposed to
avoid pointless conflicts?
[13:56] Ryoma
Well, I have an idea.
[13:59] Ryoma
What is it?
[14:01] Izo
We're being followed.
[14:08] Izo
Who are you?
[14:09] Ryoma
Hey, are you okay?
[14:12] Seimei
H-Help me...
[14:16] Ryoma
Seimei?
SIGN Swordsmith
[14:29] Swordsmith's Wife
Your sword is in good hands.
[14:32] Swordsmith's Wife
I'll be back with a replacement sword
shortly, so please wait here a moment.
[14:39] Takasugi
Hey.
[14:40] Katsura
Shinsaku?
[14:42] Katsura
What are you doing here?
[14:46] Takasugi
I'm going to go speak with Sakamoto again.
[14:49] Katsura
Really? That's a great idea!
[14:51] Takasugi
You need to come, too.
[14:53] Katsura
Huh?
[14:54] Katsura
H-Hang on a second!
[14:56] Takasugi
Just come on!
[14:57] Katsura
M-My sword!
[15:01] Swordsmith's Wife
Huh?
SIGN Terada Inn
[15:05] Ryoma
We've been looking for you, Seimei-san.
[15:08] Seimei
You know who I am?
[15:10] Ryoma
Yes. I'm Sakamoto Ryoma. I'm on your side.
[15:16] Ryoma
From what I could tell, you seemed
to be fleeing from somewhere.
[15:20] Seimei
Susanoo Castle.
[15:22] Seimei
I was locked up in the dungeon there
on suspicion of being a traitor.
[15:27] Seimei
I was waiting to be executed,
[15:30] Seimei
but I watched for gaps in their
security and then escaped.
[15:33] Ryoma
So that's what happened.
[15:34] Ryoma
But you'll be safe here.
[15:36] Ryoma
They won't come after you.
[15:38] Ryoma
Come, now, lie down.
[15:45] Izo
That's strange.
[15:47] Izo
We were being followed earlier.
[15:51] Ryoma
Are you hurt at all?
[15:54] Ryoma
Even if you aren't noticeably hurt,
[15:55] Ryoma
you should have a doctor
check you just in case.
[15:57] Seimei
Right... Thank you.
[16:00] Seimei
By the way, why were you looking for me?
[16:05] Ryoma
I have an interest in your power.
[16:08] Seimei
My power?
[16:11] Seimei
What do you hope to do with my power?
[16:13] Ryoma
Well...
[16:15] Ryoma
I guess you could say I want
to make this country better.
[16:19] Seimei
Really? That's quite a dream.
[16:21] Ryoma
Yes, I have a dream as big as the ocean.
[16:25] Seimei
I have a dream, too.
[16:27] Ryoma
What kind of dream?
[16:28] Seimei
You want me to tell you?
[16:30] Seimei
But before you hear it...
[16:34] Seimei
you're going to die!
[16:37] Seimei
What?!
[16:39] Ryoma
Thought you had me fooled, huh?
[16:41] Seimei
How did you know?
[16:43] Ryoma
Your legs.
[16:44] Seimei
My legs?
[16:45] Ryoma
Your face definitely
looks like Seimei's, but...
[16:54] Ryoma
Those legs took training to build up.
[16:56] Ryoma
A man who's been in a dungeon
wouldn't have legs like those.
[17:02] Seimei
All that rough training
has worked against me.
[17:04] Seimei
But it's impressive that you were able
to see through me in just an instant.
[17:08] Ryoma
Tell me what you know.
[17:11] Ryoma
I heard the real Seimei is being
held in the castle. Is that true?
[17:16] Seimei
The months and days are
the travelers of eternity.
[17:19] Ryoma
What?
[17:19] Seimei
The years that come and go are also voyagers.
[17:30] Basho
I am one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Matsuo Basho.
[17:34] Ryoma
Matsuo Basho?
[17:37] Basho
I don't know where Seimei is.
[17:39] Basho
I have only come to end you!
[17:50] Izo
Ryoma!
[17:54] Ryoma
I've heard of you.
[17:55] Ryoma
They say Matsuo Basho was
actually a shinobi from Iga.
[17:59] Basho A & B
"A single cocoon
houses two larvae, although
only one should fit."
[18:05] Basho A & B
There is no one who has
survived our technique!
[18:16] Izo
They're twins?
[18:19] Basho B
You can't distinguish between us.
[18:20] Basho A
One becomes two, and two become one.
[18:23] Basho A
It'll be extremely difficult
to capture us like this.
[18:26] Ryoma
Why are you helping Mugensai?
[18:29] Basho B
The shinobi of Iga went into decline in
the peaceful world ruled by the Tokugawa.
[18:34] Basho A
We only have one dream.
[18:37] Basho A
To once again make the name of
the Iga clan known to the world!
[18:40] Ryoma
Revive the Iga clan, huh?
[18:43] Ryoma
I get it. Why not join with me, then?
[18:46] Basho B
What?
[18:47] Ryoma
I can make your dream come true.
[18:51] Basho B
What utter nonsense!
[18:52] Basho A
We'll silence that mouth of yours!
[19:12] Izo
Sickles are so different from swords.
[19:23] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto.
[19:25] Takasugi
Why don't we have a drink and continue
our discussion from earlier?
[19:30] Takasugi
What the heck is going on?!
[19:31] Basho B
Don't move! Drop your sword!
[19:34] Takasugi
Who are you guys?!
[19:35] Basho B
Just like a moth flying into the flame,
we're going to send you all to hell.
[19:41] Takasugi
You're one of Mugensai's lackeys, aren't you?
[19:44] Katsura
Shinsaku, forget about me and—
[19:46] Basho B
Silence!
[19:49] Ryoma
Drop your sword, Izo.
[19:57] Basho A
That's better.
[20:02] Takasugi
Damn it!
[20:08] Katsura
Stop it!
[20:09] Katsura
Forget about me! Pick up
your sword, Sakamoto-kun!
[20:13] Basho A
Don't worry.
[20:15] Basho A
You won't have time to feel any pain
before I send you to the underworld!
[20:26] Basho A
What is the point of this child's play?
[20:29] Ryoma
You're the ones who are
the moths to the flame.
[20:32] Basho A
Enough!
[20:39] Basho B
Brother!
[20:45] Takasugi
That gun...
[20:47] Ryoma
You gotta save your trump card until the end.
[20:52] Ryoma
Seems like you couldn't
quite predict everything.
[20:56] Basho B
Damn you!
[21:09] Takasugi
"Waves of summer grass,
all that remain of soldiers'...
[21:12] Takasugi
...impossible dreams," huh?
[21:19] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun, thank you for saving us.
[21:21] Ryoma
I'm glad you're all right.
[21:25] Takasugi
Is this the gun I gave you?
[21:28] Ryoma
Yeah, it is.
[21:30] Ryoma
Did you forget about what
you said at Nagasaki Harbor?
[21:34] Takasugi
No.
[21:36] Takasugi
I said that we should make
a new Japan together.
[21:40] Ryoma
That's not it.
[21:41] Ryoma
It wasn't a new Japan.
[21:43] Ryoma
It was a new and interesting Japan.
[21:50] Takasugi
You're right.
[21:54] Takasugi
Let's go, Katsura.
[21:56] Katsura
Huh?
[21:57] Katsura
Hey... Wait, Shinsaku!
[22:01] Katsura
Don't you need to talk to him?
[22:02] Takasugi
We're done.
[22:03] Katsura
Huh?
[22:04] Takasugi
It's fine!
[23:50] Takasugi
So Sakamoto still has that gun?
[23:53] Katsura
Shinsaku, don't you have something for me?
[23:55] Takasugi
Something? Like what?
[23:56] Katsura
Well, like—

[00:02] Takasugi
Airship?
[00:04] Mugensai
These were developed from that.
[00:06] Mugensai
They can fly in the sky, cross the sea,
[00:08] Mugensai
and fire a barrage of cannonballs.
[00:12] Yamazaki
There's more security than there was before.
[00:15] Yamazaki
It'll be harder for us to escape
if we remain here much longer.
[00:20] Yoshinobu
Affiliations of the Tokugawa house
must be severed by a Tokugawa.
[00:27] Ryoma
What the hell?
[00:28] Katsura
Shinsaku...
[00:31] Takasugi
The chronometer!
[00:44] Mugensai
Yes. With this chronometer,
everything you do is futile.
[00:54] Takasugi
Damn that bastard!
[00:57] Takasugi
I'll make him pay for that!
[01:07] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[01:09] Katsura
You're all right!
[01:10] Takasugi
Idiot. Like you could get
rid of me that easily.
[01:14] Katsura
Honestly, you had me worried.
[01:17] Ryoma
That's Shinsaku for you.
[01:21] Ryoma
You always keep me on my toes.
[01:24] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[01:25] Ryo
We haven't seen each other since
Nagasaki, Takasugi Shinsaku.
SIGN Ryoma's Assassination? Assassin from the Past
[03:18] Hyo
The sleeping drug is wearing off?
[03:20] Hyo
I'll just put you to sleep again.
[03:32] Susanoo Soldier L
What's all the racket?
[03:37] Susanoo Soldier L
Scoundrel!
[03:38] Susanoo Soldier L
Huh?
[03:42] Susanoo Soldier L
The rat has escaped!
[03:49] Susanoo Soldier L
Where did she go?
[03:52] Mugensai
Escaped?
[03:53] Susanoo Soldier N
My sincerest apologies!
[03:55] Susanoo Soldier N
The guard was asleep, and by the
time we noticed, it was too late.
[03:59] Mugensai
Damn you, Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
[04:02] Mugensai
Well, no matter.
[04:10] Hisako
Don't tell me... Is the source of
your power growing weaker?
[04:16] Hisako
We have to find him at once.
[04:41] Mikado
That's an unusual place for a visitor to enter.
[04:44] Hyo
Could you be... the emperor?
[04:48] Mikado
Yes, I am.
[04:50] Hyo
I am Hyo, a special agent
for the Tokugawa house.
[04:53] Mikado
Are you the one who's been
causing all this ruckus, little one?
[04:57] Hyo
L-Little?
[04:59] Susanoo Soldiers
Where did the intruder run to?!
[05:00] Susanoo Soldiers
This way!
[05:01] Susanoo Soldiers
Hurry!
[05:05] Mikado
Get in.
[05:09] Susanoo Soldier P
She's not here.
[05:11] Susanoo Soldier O
I guess we were wrong.
[05:14] Mikado
They're gone. You can come out now.
[05:17] Hyo
Thank you for saving me.
[05:24] Takasugi
Sakamoto, what are you doing here in Kyoto?
[05:31] Takasugi
Is that...
[05:32] Ryoma
This is a man named Seimei.
[05:35] Ryoma
He also apparently has the
power to travel through time.
[05:40] Takasugi
Power to travel through time?
[05:42] Ryoma
I'm thinking about finding this
guy, returning to the past,
[05:46] Ryoma
and making a new age where
there's no Tokugawa or Mugensai.
[05:50] Takasugi
Hold up a second.
[05:51] Takasugi
You're going to go to the
past using his powers?
[05:54] Ryoma
Yes, that's right.
[05:55] Takasugi
I don't like that idea.
[05:57] Ryoma
What?
[05:59] Takasugi
There are right ways and
wrong ways to take control!
[06:01] Takasugi
Going back to the past and changing history
[06:04] Takasugi
so that it suits your needs
is absolutely idiotic!
[06:09] Ryoma
It's idiotic?
[06:10] Takasugi
Yes, it's idiotic!
[06:13] Ryoma
I think fussing over how one
takes control is far more idiotic.
[06:17] Takasugi
What?!
[06:18] Ryoma
Besides, our enemy possesses
that same power.
[06:22] Ryoma
What's wrong with us using it, too?
[06:24] Ryoma
I say we should make use of it.
[06:26] Takasugi
Sakamoto.
[06:28] Takasugi
Don't forget what Master Shoin said.
[06:31] Takasugi
"No matter what he may
face, a truly wise man
[06:33] Takasugi
considers whether his
actions fall within reason."
[06:37] Takasugi
What you're trying to do defies reason.
[06:41] Takasugi
In other words, it just makes
you a coward like Mugensai!
[06:46] Ryoma
You're calling me a coward?
[06:48] Katsura
Hey, that's going too far, Shinsaku.
[06:50] Takasugi
Anyway, I'm going to blow Mugensai
away and destroy that clock myself!
[06:55] Takasugi
Nothing can happen until we do that!
[06:58] Katsura
Calm down, Shinsaku.
[06:59] Takasugi
Stop fussing at me and get ready, Katsura.
[07:03] Takasugi
We're gonna break into that
castle and bust stuff up!
[07:11] Takasugi
Takasugi-san, we should
avoid pointless conflict.
[07:14] Takasugi
Pointless?
[07:15] Ryoma
It's obvious that anyone who
attacks an opponent as powerful
[07:19] Ryoma
as Mugensai head-on is bound to lose.
[07:22] Ryoma
That's why I think that the best thing to do
[07:25] Ryoma
is go back in time and rebuild
Japan from the ground up.
[07:29] Takasugi
You just don't get it, do you?
[07:33] Katsura
Stop it, Shinsaku!
[07:34] Takasugi
Let me go, Katsura!
[07:36] Takasugi
I'm gonna knock some sense into this guy!
[07:37] Ryoma
You're the one who doesn't get it!
[07:49] Takasugi
Why, you...
[07:53] Katsura
Knock it off!
[07:56] Katsura
Our enemy is Mugensai!
[07:58] Katsura
This is no time for fighting our own comrades!
[08:01] Takasugi
Comrades?
[08:02] Katsura
What, am I wrong?
[08:05] Takasugi
Sakamoto and I aren't comrades.
[08:08] Ryoma
You're so mean, Takasugi-san.
[08:11] Ryoma
But you may be right.
[08:13] Ryoma
Since you came from a
different course of time,
[08:18] Ryoma
we might never see eye-to-eye.
[08:21] Katsura
Huh?
[08:22] Ryoma
I figured it'd be better to work together,
[08:25] Ryoma
but forget what we talked
about earlier, Katsura-san.
[08:28] Katsura
Hey, Sakamoto-kun!
[08:30] Katsura
Wait a minute!
[08:34] Mugensai
Sakamoto Ryoma?
[08:36] Susanoo Soldier Q
Yes, he has apparently made
contact with Takasugi Shinsaku.
[08:41] Hisako
Ignoring this might be dangerous.
[08:44] Mugensai
We must end him before he
becomes a greater obstacle.
[08:48] Basho
Mugensai-sama.
[08:52] Basho
Please let me handle this task.
[08:58] Hyo
This is quite the nice room you have here.
[09:01] Hyo
It's much nicer than Yoshinobu-sama's.
[09:06] Mikado
I've held this office for quite a while.
[09:09] Mikado
You said you were a special agent
of the Tokugawa house, correct?
[09:13] Mikado
Where is Yoshinobu now?
[09:15] Hyo
Yoshinobu-sama was
imprisoned in the dungeon,
[09:18] Hyo
but Kasumi and I, along with one other,
broke him out yesterday.
[09:23] Mikado
So that's what all the fuss has
been about since yesterday.
[09:28] Mikado
I hope he is well.
[09:32] Hyo
There is a way for us to find out
if Yoshinobu-sama is well.
[09:49] Hyo
There, that's a good boy, Zundamaru.
[09:52] Mikado
Zundamaru?
[09:54] Hyo
Yes!
[09:55] Hyo
We can use him to find out!
[09:59] Katsura
Honestly, fighting with him like that...
[10:02] Katsura
Some mature adult you are.
[10:04] Takasugi
It's not my fault.
[10:06] Takasugi
He was going on about stupid stuff,
[10:08] Takasugi
and I hate when people are unreasonable!
[10:11] Katsura
While it's true that you and
Sakamoto-kun see things differently,
[10:16] Katsura
you both share the same ambition of
wanting to make Japan better, don't you?
[10:23] Katsura
What, now you're quiet? Am I right?
[10:26] Takasugi
Shut up!
[10:27] Takasugi
I was just remembering
some things from the past.
[10:31] Katsura
The past?
[10:32] Takasugi
Yeah. It was quite a while ago now...
(Flashback) [10:38] Ryoma
How was Shanghai, Takasugi-san?
(Flashback) [10:41] Takasugi
Pretty surprising, actually.
(Flashback) [10:43] Takasugi
Other countries are far ahead of us, it seems.
(Flashback) [10:47] Ryoma
I thought they might be.
(Flashback) [10:49] Takasugi
Sakamoto, Japan has to look
to foreign countries more now.
(Flashback) [10:55] Takasugi
Cast aside the old and bring in the new.
(Flashback) [10:58] Takasugi
We need the courage to accept that change.
(Flashback) [11:06] Takasugi
What's so funny?
(Flashback) [11:08] Ryoma
I can't help but laugh.
(Flashback) [11:13] Ryoma
Takasugi-san, I was just
thinking the exact same thing.
(Flashback) [11:20] Ryoma
We'll need lots of money to
change the country, though.
(Flashback) [11:24] Ryoma
That's why I'm going to make money
in the naval industry first.
(Flashback) [11:29] Ryoma
And then I'll use that money
to finally clean up Japan.
(Flashback) [11:35] Ryoma
This country will be beautiful
once we wash off the filth
(Flashback) [11:38] Ryoma
that's accumulated over the past 300 years.
(Flashback) [11:40] Ryoma
And then we'll make a new
Japan with our own hands.
(Flashback) [11:45] Takasugi
A new... Japan?
(Flashback) [11:54] Ryoma
What's that?
(Flashback) [11:55] Takasugi
It's a handgun I bought as a gift in Shanghai.
(Flashback) [11:57] Takasugi
It's a pretty valuable item.
(Flashback) [11:59] Ryoma
Let me see it.
(Flashback) [12:01] Takasugi
According to the old man running
the shop, it brings good luck.
(Flashback) [12:07] Takasugi
Take it.
(Flashback) [12:08] Ryoma
Huh?
(Flashback) [12:09] Takasugi
I'm giving it to you.
(Flashback) [12:11] Takasugi
Since you and I are kindred spirits
who share the same ambition.
(Flashback) [12:15] Ryoma
Kindred spirits?
(Flashback) [12:16] Takasugi
Yeah.
(Flashback) [12:18] Takasugi
Let's make a new Japan,
(Flashback) [12:20] Takasugi
no, a new and interesting Japan together!
(Flashback) [12:24] Ryoma
A new and interesting Japan, huh?
[12:31] Takasugi
Well, that's what we talked about then...
[12:35] Takasugi
But since time has been all
messed up by that chronometer,
[12:39] Takasugi
I don't know what this Sakamoto is thinking.
[12:50] Kasumi
Yoshinobu-sama!
[12:53] Kasumi
There's an abandoned temple just up ahead.
[12:56] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, I am truly sorry for
the inconvenience I have caused you.
[13:01] Yoshinobu
Don't be silly.
[13:03] Yoshinobu
You two have gone to great lengths for me.
[13:11] Yoshinobu
An owl?
[13:13] Kasumi
It's Zundamaru!
[13:17] Kasumi
He has a letter from Hyo!
[13:20] Proprietress
I've already told you everything
I know. Please leave!
[13:31] Ryoma
That's that, then.
[13:34] Izo
How long are you going to keep doing this?
[13:37] Izo
Seimei is in Susanoo Castle, isn't he?
[13:39] Ryoma
Probably.
[13:41] Izo
Then why?
[13:42] Ryoma
Mugensai has likely already ascertained
[13:45] Ryoma
that Takasugi-san has
been in contact with us.
[13:48] Ryoma
So I figure if I keep doing things out in
the open like this, he'll try something.
[13:53] Izo
Weren't we supposed to
avoid pointless conflicts?
[13:56] Ryoma
Well, I have an idea.
[13:59] Ryoma
What is it?
[14:01] Izo
We're being followed.
[14:08] Izo
Who are you?
[14:09] Ryoma
Hey, are you okay?
[14:12] Seimei
H-Help me...
[14:16] Ryoma
Seimei?
SIGN Swordsmith
[14:29] Swordsmith's Wife
Your sword is in good hands.
[14:32] Swordsmith's Wife
I'll be back with a replacement sword
shortly, so please wait here a moment.
[14:39] Takasugi
Hey.
[14:40] Katsura
Shinsaku?
[14:42] Katsura
What are you doing here?
[14:46] Takasugi
I'm going to go speak with Sakamoto again.
[14:49] Katsura
Really? That's a great idea!
[14:51] Takasugi
You need to come, too.
[14:53] Katsura
Huh?
[14:54] Katsura
H-Hang on a second!
[14:56] Takasugi
Just come on!
[14:57] Katsura
M-My sword!
[15:01] Swordsmith's Wife
Huh?
SIGN Terada Inn
[15:05] Ryoma
We've been looking for you, Seimei-san.
[15:08] Seimei
You know who I am?
[15:10] Ryoma
Yes. I'm Sakamoto Ryoma. I'm on your side.
[15:16] Ryoma
From what I could tell, you seemed
to be fleeing from somewhere.
[15:20] Seimei
Susanoo Castle.
[15:22] Seimei
I was locked up in the dungeon there
on suspicion of being a traitor.
[15:27] Seimei
I was waiting to be executed,
[15:30] Seimei
but I watched for gaps in their
security and then escaped.
[15:33] Ryoma
So that's what happened.
[15:34] Ryoma
But you'll be safe here.
[15:36] Ryoma
They won't come after you.
[15:38] Ryoma
Come, now, lie down.
[15:45] Izo
That's strange.
[15:47] Izo
We were being followed earlier.
[15:51] Ryoma
Are you hurt at all?
[15:54] Ryoma
Even if you aren't noticeably hurt,
[15:55] Ryoma
you should have a doctor
check you just in case.
[15:57] Seimei
Right... Thank you.
[16:00] Seimei
By the way, why were you looking for me?
[16:05] Ryoma
I have an interest in your power.
[16:08] Seimei
My power?
[16:11] Seimei
What do you hope to do with my power?
[16:13] Ryoma
Well...
[16:15] Ryoma
I guess you could say I want
to make this country better.
[16:19] Seimei
Really? That's quite a dream.
[16:21] Ryoma
Yes, I have a dream as big as the ocean.
[16:25] Seimei
I have a dream, too.
[16:27] Ryoma
What kind of dream?
[16:28] Seimei
You want me to tell you?
[16:30] Seimei
But before you hear it...
[16:34] Seimei
you're going to die!
[16:37] Seimei
What?!
[16:39] Ryoma
Thought you had me fooled, huh?
[16:41] Seimei
How did you know?
[16:43] Ryoma
Your legs.
[16:44] Seimei
My legs?
[16:45] Ryoma
Your face definitely
looks like Seimei's, but...
[16:54] Ryoma
Those legs took training to build up.
[16:56] Ryoma
A man who's been in a dungeon
wouldn't have legs like those.
[17:02] Seimei
All that rough training
has worked against me.
[17:04] Seimei
But it's impressive that you were able
to see through me in just an instant.
[17:08] Ryoma
Tell me what you know.
[17:11] Ryoma
I heard the real Seimei is being
held in the castle. Is that true?
[17:16] Seimei
The months and days are
the travelers of eternity.
[17:19] Ryoma
What?
[17:19] Seimei
The years that come and go are also voyagers.
[17:30] Basho
I am one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Matsuo Basho.
[17:34] Ryoma
Matsuo Basho?
[17:37] Basho
I don't know where Seimei is.
[17:39] Basho
I have only come to end you!
[17:50] Izo
Ryoma!
[17:54] Ryoma
I've heard of you.
[17:55] Ryoma
They say Matsuo Basho was
actually a shinobi from Iga.
[17:59] Basho A & B
"A single cocoon
houses two larvae, although
only one should fit."
[18:05] Basho A & B
There is no one who has
survived our technique!
[18:16] Izo
They're twins?
[18:19] Basho B
You can't distinguish between us.
[18:20] Basho A
One becomes two, and two become one.
[18:23] Basho A
It'll be extremely difficult
to capture us like this.
[18:26] Ryoma
Why are you helping Mugensai?
[18:29] Basho B
The shinobi of Iga went into decline in
the peaceful world ruled by the Tokugawa.
[18:34] Basho A
We only have one dream.
[18:37] Basho A
To once again make the name of
the Iga clan known to the world!
[18:40] Ryoma
Revive the Iga clan, huh?
[18:43] Ryoma
I get it. Why not join with me, then?
[18:46] Basho B
What?
[18:47] Ryoma
I can make your dream come true.
[18:51] Basho B
What utter nonsense!
[18:52] Basho A
We'll silence that mouth of yours!
[19:12] Izo
Sickles are so different from swords.
[19:23] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto.
[19:25] Takasugi
Why don't we have a drink and continue
our discussion from earlier?
[19:30] Takasugi
What the heck is going on?!
[19:31] Basho B
Don't move! Drop your sword!
[19:34] Takasugi
Who are you guys?!
[19:35] Basho B
Just like a moth flying into the flame,
we're going to send you all to hell.
[19:41] Takasugi
You're one of Mugensai's lackeys, aren't you?
[19:44] Katsura
Shinsaku, forget about me and—
[19:46] Basho B
Silence!
[19:49] Ryoma
Drop your sword, Izo.
[19:57] Basho A
That's better.
[20:02] Takasugi
Damn it!
[20:08] Katsura
Stop it!
[20:09] Katsura
Forget about me! Pick up
your sword, Sakamoto-kun!
[20:13] Basho A
Don't worry.
[20:15] Basho A
You won't have time to feel any pain
before I send you to the underworld!
[20:26] Basho A
What is the point of this child's play?
[20:29] Ryoma
You're the ones who are
the moths to the flame.
[20:32] Basho A
Enough!
[20:39] Basho B
Brother!
[20:45] Takasugi
That gun...
[20:47] Ryoma
You gotta save your trump card until the end.
[20:52] Ryoma
Seems like you couldn't
quite predict everything.
[20:56] Basho B
Damn you!
[21:09] Takasugi
"Waves of summer grass,
all that remain of soldiers'...
[21:12] Takasugi
...impossible dreams," huh?
[21:19] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun, thank you for saving us.
[21:21] Ryoma
I'm glad you're all right.
[21:25] Takasugi
Is this the gun I gave you?
[21:28] Ryoma
Yeah, it is.
[21:30] Ryoma
Did you forget about what
you said at Nagasaki Harbor?
[21:34] Takasugi
No.
[21:36] Takasugi
I said that we should make
a new Japan together.
[21:40] Ryoma
That's not it.
[21:41] Ryoma
It wasn't a new Japan.
[21:43] Ryoma
It was a new and interesting Japan.
[21:50] Takasugi
You're right.
[21:54] Takasugi
Let's go, Katsura.
[21:56] Katsura
Huh?
[21:57] Katsura
Hey... Wait, Shinsaku!
[22:01] Katsura
Don't you need to talk to him?
[22:02] Takasugi
We're done.
[22:03] Katsura
Huh?
[22:04] Takasugi
It's fine!
[23:50] Takasugi
So Sakamoto still has that gun?
[23:53] Katsura
Shinsaku, don't you have something for me?
[23:55] Takasugi
Something? Like what?
[23:56] Katsura
Well, like—
[23:57] Takasugi
Next time on episode 4 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN Confidential Infiltration: The Code of the Shinsengumi!

[00:02] Takasugi
Tensho year 3, Kyoto.
[00:05] Takasugi
This is an alternate Bakumatsu era,
ruled by Mugensai.
[00:09] Takasugi
People in the city are threatened with
cannons and forced to do harsh labor.
[00:14] Swordsmith's Wife
There's been nothing but trouble
since the shogunate changed.
[00:18] Swordsmith's Wife
Kyoto used to be much
more peaceful than this.
[00:31] Katsura
The townspeople can't live in peace
[00:34] Katsura
with those mechanical dolls roaming around.
[00:37] Katsura
How do we stop them?
[00:39] Katsura
I think the castle's cannons react
to the sounds those dolls make.
[00:44] Takasugi
Maybe I should go meet with Mugensai again.
[00:48] Katsura
So, the plan we came up with is this:
[00:51] Katsura
First, I would join the Shinsengumi,
[00:55] Katsura
get into the castle when
the opportunity arose,
[00:57] Katsura
and destroy the device that
controls the mechanical dolls.
[00:59] Takasugi
And I would get into the castle
through a subterranean tunnel,
[01:03] Takasugi
make my way to Mugensai,
and take back the chronometer.
[01:07] Katsura
The two of us working at the same
time should confuse the enemy.
[01:10] Katsura
Then we should definitely
have a chance to win!
[01:13] Takasugi
But, Katsura, it looks like we have a problem.
[01:15] Takasugi
There seems to be some unexpected guests.
[01:18] Ryoma
Wow, this rig is pretty impressive, huh?
[01:25] Kondo
Who are you?
SIGN Okita's Fury: Time Wanderer!
[03:09] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun.
[03:11] Kondo
So you're the traitors
who oppose the shogunate.
[03:14] Ryoma
Calling us traitors is a bit of a stretch.
[03:17] Ryoma
I'm just here to look for someone.
[03:26] Ryoma
Looks like you're in the middle of something.
[03:29] Ryoma
Izo, you can handle this.
[03:31] Soldier F
Wait!
[04:03] Kondo
Such inane tricks...
[04:07] Katsura
Where'd he go?
[04:20] Izo
You are?
[04:22] Katsura
Kido Takayoshi, captain of the
11th division of the Shinsengumi!
[04:31] Izo
Okada Izo!
[04:40] Susanoo Soldier A
Have you checked the entrance?
[04:41] Susanoo Soldier B
No, not yet.
[04:43] Susanoo Soldier A
Kill the intruders if you find them!
[04:47] Takasugi
Getting beaten to the punch really sucks.
[04:55] Takasugi
I think that's...
[05:08] Susanoo Soldier C
There he is!
[05:10] Susanoo Soldier D
Wait!
[05:17] Katsura
Kondo-san, I will handle this one!
[05:21] Katsura
You can go after the other one.
[05:23] Kondo
All right, try to capture him alive.
I'll send backup as soon as I can.
[05:29] Takasugi
Crap... I'm not going to make
it to Mugensai in this mess.
[05:35] Mikado
You're trying to find Mugensai?
[05:40] Takasugi
A prison?
[05:41] Takasugi
Hey, who are you?
[05:43] Mikado
If you don't know who I am,
you must be one of the intruders.
[05:48] Takasugi
It doesn't matter who you are.
[05:50] Takasugi
I'll get you out of here,
[05:51] Takasugi
so it'd be great if you could
take me to where Mugensai is.
[05:55] Takasugi
What's up with this lock?
[05:57] Takasugi
It's insanely strong.
[05:58] Mikado
That's not going to open so easily.
[06:01] Hyo
This man hasn't realized you're the emperor.
[06:05] Takasugi
Hold on... If you're being kept in such
a high-security cell, then that means...
[06:14] Takasugi
You must've done something pretty bad.
[06:17] Takasugi
But I like that! So I'm getting you
out of here, whatever it takes!
[06:23] Mikado
You said you were trying
to find Mugensai, correct?
[06:26] Takasugi
That's right!
[06:27] Takasugi
I don't have a clue where to go.
[06:30] Takasugi
This place is like a maze.
[06:33] Mikado
The vent above you leads
to where Mugensai is.
[06:38] Mikado
Once you're inside, go about
eight meters to the right,
[06:41] Mikado
then turn left, and then go right—
[06:43] Takasugi
Hang on!
[06:44] Takasugi
Okay, so... Once I'm in the vent, go eight
meters to the right, and... Then what?
[06:53] Katsura
He's gone now.
[06:55] Izo
What is the meaning of this?
[06:58] Katsura
As Sakamoto-kun said, I'm
in the middle of something.
[07:02] Izo
That's not what I'm asking about!
[07:04] Izo
Why did you protect Kondo?
[07:07] Izo
My sword almost certainly would have had him.
[07:11] Izo
I would have taken the head
of the Shinsengumi commander!
[07:14] Izo
If you hadn't gotten in the way...
[07:17] Katsura
Shinsaku told me...
[07:19] Katsura
that it wasn't a good idea to get
too close to the Shinsengumi.
[07:23] Katsura
Maybe he was right.
[07:31] Izo
If you do anything to get in my way again,
[07:34] Izo
Katsura-san, I will kill you.
[07:45] Katsura
Well, I'd better hurry.
[08:08] Okita
The mechanical dolls won't work
anymore if you break that.
[08:14] Okita
Not that I particularly mind if that happens.
[08:19] Okita
Hiding your identity to get
inside the Shinsengumi...
[08:22] Okita
Do you really underestimate us so?
[08:28] Okita
Well, no matter.
[08:30] Okita
This means I can finally fight you in earnest.
[08:34] Okita
Now, then, let's settle this.
[08:38] Kondo
Toshi! Saito!
[08:41] Hijikata
Kondo-san, what's this about intruders?
[08:43] Kondo
There are two of them.
[08:44] Kondo
Kido-kun is handling one of them.
[08:47] Kondo
I need you two to go and guard
Mugensai-sama at once.
[08:50] Hijikata
Understood. And what about you?
[08:53] Kondo
I'm going to deal with the one that fled.
[08:55] Takasugi
Go right, go left...
[08:58] Takasugi
Okay, I've got it memorized!
[09:02] Takasugi
Once I've finished what I need to do,
I, Takasugi Shinsaku, will save you!
[09:06] Takasugi
I know it's hard, but try to hold
on to your hope until then! Okay?
[09:10] Hyo
He doesn't seem like a bad person.
[09:15] Ryoma
Could you tell me something, as well?
[09:18] Takasugi
You're...
[09:19] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[09:21] Ryoma
Takasugi-san! What a coincidence,
running into you here.
[09:25] Takasugi
So you're the one who beat me here!
[09:30] Ryoma
You seem pretty knowledgeable
about this castle, so tell me.
[09:34] Ryoma
Where is this person being held?
[09:50] Mikado
This person escaped from
the castle a long time ago.
[09:53] Mikado
He is no longer in the castle.
[09:57] Ryoma
A dead end, then.
[09:58] Susanoo Soldier
Find them?
[09:59] Susanoo Soldier
Search above! Hurry!
[09:59] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto, we've got company.
[10:01] Ryoma
This is where I leave
you today, Takasugi-san.
[10:04] Takasugi
What?
[10:05] Ryoma
My business here is finished.
[10:08] Takasugi
H-Hey!
[10:11] Okita
Something about you always seemed off to me.
[10:15] Okita
So the name "Kido Takayoshi" is a lie, then?
[10:27] Okita
Can you please take this
a little more seriously?
[10:30] Katsura
I have been taking it seriously all along.
[10:33] Katsura
I joined the Shinsengumi to
destroy this despicable machine
[10:38] Katsura
that has made the townspeople suffer.
[10:42] Okita
You're a strange one.
[10:44] Okita
You joined the Shinsengumi
just for that reason?
[10:48] Okita
You would make light of a fight with
me over something so trivial?
[10:52] Katsura
Trivial?
[10:58] Katsura
Okita, I don't think we'll ever
understand one another.
[11:05] Okita
You're finally taking me seriously.
[11:08] Okita
Let's do this!
[11:17] Hijikata
You seem disappointed, Saito.
[11:20] Saito
I just can't bring myself to like Mugensai.
[11:23] Hijikata
That was the choice Kondo-san made.
[11:25] Hijikata
It's our duty to follow him.
[11:29] Saito
Sometimes I think that, perhaps, the
Shinsengumi should have perished proudly
[11:34] Saito
along with the Tokugawa shogunate.
[11:37] Hijikata
It was Yoshinobu-sama who
ordered Kondo-san to survive.
[11:41] Hijikata
It is not for a warrior
to choose an easy death.
[11:44] Hijikata
Do away with such trivial doubts.
[11:54] Hijikata
Hijikata and Saito of the
Shinsengumi have arrived.
[11:58] Mugensai
Enter.
[12:03] Mugensai
What is it, Hijikata?
[12:06] Hijikata
Intruders have slipped inside the castle,
[12:08] Hijikata
so we would like to act as additional guards.
[12:11] Mugensai
Kondo arranged this?
[12:13] Hijikata
Yes.
[12:14] Mugensai
Does he know the identity of the intruders?
[12:18] Hijikata
He saw two of them.
[12:20] Hijikata
One is being handled by Kido,
the captain of the 11th division,
[12:23] Hijikata
and the commander went after
the other one himself.
[12:26] Takasugi
Let's see... Once in the vent, go eight meters...
[12:29] Takasugi
It should be about here.
[12:38] Takasugi
Ouch...
[12:41] Takasugi
I've found you, Mugensai!
[12:43] Takasugi
I've come to pay you back for last time!
[12:47] Hijikata
I see.
[12:48] Hijikata
So you are the other intruder,
Takasugi Shinsaku.
[12:53] Takasugi
No, I think the intruder you're
thinking of is someone else...
[12:58] Takasugi
Well, I guess that doesn't really matter now!
[13:20] Mugensai
Well done, Takasugi Shinsaku.
You never fail to amuse me.
[13:25] Takasugi
I've come to take the chronometer.
[13:27] Takasugi
Without that, you're done for.
[13:30] Mugensai
Then let me ask you
something before it's all over.
[13:33] Mugensai
What exactly is your friend up to?
[13:36] Takasugi
What?
[13:37] Mugensai
He went through the trouble
of joining the Shinsengumi,
[13:41] Mugensai
so what is he after?
[13:45] Takasugi
I don't have a clue what
you're talking about.
[13:47] Takasugi
How does he know about Katsura?
[13:51] Saito
A spy in the Shinsengumi?
[13:53] Saito
Does he mean Kido Takayoshi?
[13:58] Saito
Hijikata-san, I'm going to go to Kondo-san.
[14:01] Hijikata
Go!
[14:19] Okita
You're not getting away, Katsura-san!
[14:21] Okita
Hurry up and face me!
[14:44] Takasugi
He did it!
[14:46] Mugensai
You never learn, do you?
[14:54] Takasugi
I won't let you!
[15:15] Okita
Kido-san?
[15:20] Okita
What's the matter?
[15:21] Okita
Why do you look so troubled?
[15:24] Katsura
Time has been turned back again?
[15:27] Okita
What happened to the intruder?
[15:32] Katsura
Since time has been turned back,
that means he doesn't know who I am.
[15:39] Katsura
I'm sorry. He got away.
[15:41] Okita
Too bad. I was hoping to face him, too.
[15:49] Hijikata
Hijikata and Saito of the
Shinsengumi have arrived.
[15:56] Hijikata
We're coming in.
[16:16] Takasugi
Damn it. He used the chronometer again.
[16:19] Mikado
Did you say he used the chronometer?
[16:22] Takasugi
You know about the chronometer?
[16:25] Mikado
So you still retain your memories
even after the chronometer is used?
[16:29] Takasugi
Yeah, so what?
[16:31] Mikado
You're a time wanderer.
[16:33] Mikado
You've bathed in Seimei's light.
[16:36] Takasugi
I'm pretty sure Mugensai said the same thing...
[16:40] Takasugi
No, that doesn't matter!
[16:42] Takasugi
Do you know a way to stop the chronometer?
[16:46] Mikado
It grants riches, manipulates time,
and allows one to rule the world.
[16:51] Mikado
As the legend says, there's nothing
you can do once it's been used.
[16:55] Mikado
But that doesn't mean all is lost.
[17:01] Mikado
There is something to be gained when you
are swept away by the torrent of time.
[17:05] Mikado
You have to find it, Takasugi Shinsaku.
[17:10] Ryoma
Could you tell me something, as well?
[17:13] Takasugi
You're...
[17:15] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[17:16] Ryoma
Takasugi-san! What a coincidence,
running into you here.
[17:24] Izo
So we struck out.
[17:25] Ryoma
It's rough when we don't get
any return on our hard work.
[17:28] Izo
Ryoma, has Katsura-san changed sides?
[17:31] Ryoma
Well, this probably just means
he has something in mind.
[17:36] Ryoma
Now, then, let's figure out our next plan.
[17:39] Izo
Searching for Seimei?
[17:40] Ryoma
That too, of course, but I meant this.
[17:57] Katsura
Kondo-san.
[17:59] Katsura
I'm glad you're—
[18:01] Kondo
Who are you, Kido Takayoshi?
[18:05] Katsura
What's going on?
[18:07] Katsura
Since time turned back, even Okita
didn't realize anything had happened.
[18:10] Kondo
That expression... I knew it.
[18:13] Kondo
You lied about your identity
and snuck into the Shinsengumi.
[18:16] Kondo
Was it to investigate inside the castle?
[18:20] Katsura
How did you know?
[18:22] Kondo
I started to get suspicious when
[18:24] Kondo
I noticed the tie on my letter
box had been tampered with.
[18:28] Kondo
It was a bit different from
how I normally tie it.
[18:31] Kondo
I could tell immediately that
someone else had tied it.
[18:34] Kondo
And then, when you protected me earlier,
[18:37] Kondo
there was a slight sense of
agitation in your eyes.
[18:41] Kondo
That's when I knew.
[18:43] Katsura
You figured it out with so few clues?
[18:46] Kondo
You've really underestimated me, haven't you?
[18:48] Kondo
I'll ask you once more,
Kido Takayoshi: who are you?
[18:54] Katsura
Katsura Kogoro from Choshu.
[18:57] Kondo
One of my men died because of you.
[19:00] Kondo
I will never forgive you for that.
[19:02] Kondo
I will kill you the next
time we meet, I swear it.
[19:18] Katsura
Damn it!
[19:19] Katsura
It was all in vain because
of that blasted chronometer.
[19:22] Katsura
There's nothing we can do as
long as that watch exists.
[19:25] Takasugi
Time wanderer...
[19:27] Katsura
What's that?
[19:29] Takasugi
Oh, well...
[19:31] Takasugi
It's something I heard today from someone at
the castle who knows about the chronometer.
[19:36] Katsura
There are others who know about that
watch aside from Mugensai and us?
[19:42] Takasugi
Yeah. I don't know who he was,
[19:45] Takasugi
but he also said this, and it
sounded pretty meaningful...
[19:48] Takasugi
"There is something to be gained when you
are swept away by the torrent of time."
[19:52] Katsura
When you are swept away
by the torrent of time?
[19:55] Katsura
It almost sounds like he's referring to us.
[19:58] Katsura
When time was turned back,
everything we'd done was for nothing.
[20:02] Takasugi
If that's the case, then what
is the thing to be gained?
[20:06] Katsura
Does that mean we've
gained something now?
[20:10] Takasugi
I remember to some extent what he told
me about how to get around the castle.
[20:15] Katsura
That's it!
[20:17] Katsura
You remember! That's it!
[20:20] Katsura
When time is turned back, all that we've
done and gained disappears, but...
[20:26] Takasugi
Katsura?
[20:28] Katsura
Our memories!
[20:29] Katsura
The memories of the things we've seen
are all that remain in our minds!
[20:35] Takasugi
Hey, that's...
[20:37] Katsura
The device I saw in the castle today
that controls the mechanical dolls.
[20:41] Takasugi
I get it! So that's what you mean!
[20:47] Swordsmith's Wife
This is a drawing of the device
that controls the mechanical dolls?
[20:51] Katsura
Yes.
[20:52] Katsura
I only had my memory to draw it by,
but please look at this part.
[20:57] Katsura
It's the same shape as that
steel thing the dolls have.
[21:00] Katsura
And the sound this part makes
is the exact same as the dolls'.
[21:06] Swordsmith's Wife
So it resonates with them?
[21:08] Katsura
I'm not exactly sure,
but I believe the device in the castle
[21:11] Katsura
and the mechanical dolls in the city
are somehow connected by sound.
[21:16] Katsura
The castle device reacts to the
sound made by the dolls,
[21:20] Katsura
and then the cannons fire on the city.
[21:22] Katsura
At least, that's how I think it works.
[21:25] Takasugi
Okay, then, we just need to find a
way to interfere with that sound.
[21:30] Katsura
This is all just conjecture, though.
[21:32] Swordsmith's Wife
Even so, it seems worth a try.
[21:35] Katsura
Do you think so?
[21:36] Swordsmith's Wife
If we get the materials
and use the same steel,
[21:39] Swordsmith's Wife
we should be able to offset the resonance.
[21:42] Swordsmith's Wife
Let's get to work!
[21:44] Takasugi
Katsura!
[21:45] Katsura
Right!
[21:46] Katsura
If all goes well, we'll be able to
put a stop to those mechanical dolls.
[21:50] Katsura
It wasn't all in vain, Shinsaku!
[21:53] Takasugi
Yeah!
[22:04] Mugensai
It seems I won't be able to use
it again for a while, Seimei.
[23:50] Takasugi
The dandara jacket looked pretty good on you.
[23:53] Katsura
I never want to go through that again.
[23:55] Katsura
Why don't you wear it next time?
[23:56] Takasugi
Next time on episode 6 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN The Thousandth Prize:
Yoshinobu, My Master!
[23:58] Takasugi
"The Thousandth Prize: Yoshinobu, My Master!"
[24:02] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

[00:01] Takasugi
Katsura and I came to Kyoto in
pursuit of the chronometer,
[00:06] Takasugi
a hidden treasure once used by the
Murakami Navy said to grant riches,
[00:10] Takasugi
manipulate time, and allows
one to rule the world...
[00:13] Takasugi
when we were suddenly engulfed in light.
[00:16] Takasugi
When we came to, we were
in another Bakumatsu era
[00:21] Takasugi
with a history different from our Japan's.
[00:23] Katsura
Here, the Tokugawa has been destroyed,
[00:24] Katsura
and the land is ruled over
by a man named Mugensai.
[00:27] Takasugi
Mugensai controls the Shinsengumi
and frightens the townspeople
[00:31] Takasugi
through the use of mechanical dolls.
[00:33] Takasugi
He's also making things called
airships in the castle
[00:37] Takasugi
that he plans to use to
invade other countries.
[00:39] Takasugi
I burned all of them to ashes, but he
turned back time using the chronometer,
[00:44] Takasugi
and it was if nothing had ever happened.
[00:46] Katsura
I even destroyed the mechanism
that controlled the mechanical dolls,
[00:50] Katsura
but he turned back time
again with the chronometer.
[00:52] Takasugi
Mugensai is untouchable as long as he
has the chronometer... or so we thought,
[00:57] Takasugi
but I met someone in the castle
who had good advice for us.
[01:01] Mikado
There is something to be gained when you
are swept away by the torrent of time.
[01:05] Mikado
You have to find it, Takasugi Shinsaku.
[01:09] Takasugi
That's right, it's our memories!
[01:11] Takasugi
Even if time is turned back,
they can't take our memories.
[01:15] Katsura
And once we realized this, we started coming
up with a way to stop the mechanical dolls.
SIGN Swordsmith
[01:30] Katsura
Looks like it's starting to take shape.
[01:33] Swordsmith's Wife
Yes, but the central part that
offsets the resonance still remains.
[01:38] Swordsmith's Wife
And we have very little
good quality steel left.
[01:42] Swordsmith's Wife
We'll need funds to get more...
[01:45] Takasugi
Is that all you need?
[01:47] Takasugi
You should've said so sooner.
[01:51] Katsura
Shinsaku, you've got money?
[01:53] Takasugi
Check it out!
[02:00] Katsura
What are we supposed to do
with that pocket change?
SIGN The Thousandth Prize:
Yoshinobu, My Master!
(Flashback) [03:44] Yamazaki
You mean...
(Flashback) [03:46] Yamazaki
You mean this is Edo?
(Flashback) [03:49] Warrior A
This is the work of someone called Mugensai.
(Flashback) [03:52] Warrior B
Everyone beneath captain of the guard
did their best to hold the defense...
(Flashback) [03:56] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama...
(Flashback) [03:58] Yamazaki
Where's Yoshinobu-sama?!
(Flashback) [04:00] Warrior B
I don't know if he's even alive.
(Flashback) [04:09] Yamazaki
Just wait for me. I will find you...
[04:25] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama...
[04:37] Yoshinobu
Things look good down here.
[04:40] Yamazaki
I'm sorry you have to help me.
[04:44] Yoshinobu
It's no trouble at all.
[04:48] Yoshinobu
Anyway, Susumu, did you know a
tengu used to live in this temple?
[04:53] Yoshinobu
Wasn't it the Kurama tengu?
[04:57] Yoshinobu
Yes. It was a master of swordsmanship.
[04:59] Yoshinobu
It's said that it taught Ushiwakamaru
how to use a sword.
[05:03] Yamazaki
That's just a legend, I'm sure.
[05:06] Yoshinobu
But it could be that Mugensai hasn't found
us here because of that tengu's protection.
[05:14] Yoshinobu
The least I can do is help with repairs.
[05:22] Kasumi
Zundamaru has returned!
[05:25] Yoshinobu
What's he got for us today?
[05:27] Kasumi
I'll come show you!
[05:40] Yamazaki
Kasumi?!
[05:44] Yoshinobu
Everything's fine.
[05:45] Kasumi
I-I'm so sorry!
[05:48] Yoshinobu
Don't worry about it.
[05:50] Yoshinobu
This reminds me of when
[05:52] Yoshinobu
you were little, and I
used to hold you like this.
[05:59] Kasumi
It says that Mugensai currently
can't use the chronometer
[06:02] Kasumi
and has lost the ability to manipulate time.
[06:07] Yoshinobu
So the rumors about the
hidden treasure are true.
[06:10] Yamazaki
Anything else?
[06:12] Kasumi
We must find Seimei as soon as possible
and hide him away somewhere safe.
[06:17] Yoshinobu
Seimei-dono?
[06:19] Yamazaki
Do you know him?
[06:21] Yoshinobu
Yes, I do, but why him?
[06:25] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, wouldn't
this be our best chance
[06:29] Yamazaki
to save the emperor while
Mugensai has lost his powers?
[06:34] Yoshinobu
It certainly would be, but we don't
have enough strength right now.
[06:39] Yoshinobu
Unlike the basement cell where I was kept, the
emperor is kept in the highest cell in the castle.
[06:45] Yoshinobu
The defense is the heaviest there,
so getting him out won't be easy.
[06:49] Yamazaki
That's true.
[06:51] Yoshinobu
Kasumi, please write back.
[06:54] Yoshinobu
We will begin the search for Seimei-dono.
[06:58] Yoshinobu
If an opportunity to save the emperor
presents itself, have her let us know.
[07:02] Kasumi
Understood!
[07:22] Head Susanoo Soldier
Progress is currently at 75%.
[07:25] Head Susanoo Soldier
Production is going smoothly—
[07:26] Mugensai
Wasn't progress supposed
to be at over 90% by now?
[07:31] Head Susanoo Soldier
My apologies.
[07:32] Head Susanoo Soldier
No one in Japan has ever
made these things before.
[07:36] Mugensai
Enough of your excuses.
Just hurry up and finish them.
[07:40] Head Susanoo Soldier
Yes, sir!
[07:46] Mugensai
I still can't use it.
[07:56] Mugensai
Hisako, summon one of my twelve
commanders, Musashibo Benkei.
[08:10] Hyo
"We will begin the search for Seimei-dono."
[08:13] Hyo
"If an opportunity to save the emperor
presents itself, please let us know."
[08:18] Hyo
That's all.
[08:21] Mikado
They're asking too much.
[08:22] Hyo
But Yoshinobu-sama—
[08:23] Mikado
I know.
[08:25] Mikado
But it is simply not possible.
[08:29] Mikado
You've put yourself in enough danger
just finding out about the chronometer.
(Flashback) [08:43] Mugensai
Who's there?
(Flashback) [08:45] Susanoo Soldier
Pardon me.
[08:54] Hyo
My life belongs to Yoshinobu-sama.
I don't care about the risks.
[09:00] Mikado
Good grief. I'm surrounded by reckless people,
like that Takasugi Shinsaku from the other day.
[09:06] Mikado
But perhaps that recklessness
can be a weapon.
[09:11] Mikado
Hyo, I'm sorry to ask this, but...
[09:13] Hyo
I'm all ready! Leave everything to me!
[09:19] Mikado
I didn't even say anything yet.
[09:23] Yamazaki
I'm sorry the meal is so meager again.
[09:26] Yoshinobu
Don't be silly.
[09:27] Yoshinobu
You even provided something nice
to drink, and a warrior has to—
[09:31] Kasumi
What is the matter, Yoshinobu-sama?
[09:35] Yamazaki
Did you hurt yourself when
you caught Kasumi earlier?
[09:48] Yoshinobu
I'm sorry for the trouble.
[09:50] Yamazaki
Not at all.
[09:51] Kasumi
Yoshinobu-sama!
[09:53] Kasumi
This is all my fault for
being so inexperienced!
[09:56] Kasumi
I will accept any punishment!
[09:59] Yoshinobu
Don't be silly.
[10:01] Yamazaki
The bone isn't damaged.
[10:03] Yamazaki
It appears to just be bruised,
so it will heal quickly.
[10:09] Yamazaki
Kasumi, maybe you can go get some
more medicinal herbs, just in case?
[10:14] Kasumi
I will do so!
[10:19] Yoshinobu
This brings back memories, huh?
[10:25] Yamazaki
Oh, you mean of the time we first met.
[10:27] Yoshinobu
Yes, it was when I had gone
to Osaka for an inspection.
(Flashback) [10:36] Warrior A
Yoshinobu-sama!
(Flashback) [10:37] Warrior B
What is the matter?
(Flashback) [10:39] Yoshinobu
I got dizzy all of a sudden...
(Flashback) [10:41] Yamazaki
Excuse me.
(Flashback) [10:43] Warrior A
Who are you?
(Flashback) [10:45] Warrior B
We don't need your help!
(Flashback) [10:47] Yamazaki
Does it hurt anywhere?
(Flashback) [10:49] Yoshinobu
No...
(Flashback) [10:51] Yamazaki
What did he eat this morning?
(Flashback) [10:53] Warrior A
He has a very busy schedule,
so he didn't eat anything.
(Flashback) [10:58] Yamazaki
Please add this to hot water and drink it.
SIGN Tea
(Flashback) [11:06] Yamazaki
Do you feel better?
(Flashback) [11:08] Yoshinobu
Yes, but what did you put in the hot water?
(Flashback) [11:12] Yamazaki
Just some brown sugar.
(Flashback) [11:14] Yoshinobu
Brown sugar...
(Flashback) [11:16] Yoshinobu
What a splendid treatment. Are you a doctor?
(Flashback) [11:19] Yamazaki
No, I just picked it up from somewhere.
(Flashback) [11:23] Yamazaki
I'll be going now.
(Flashback) [11:27] Yoshinobu
Wait.
(Flashback) [11:29] Yoshinobu
What's your name?
(Flashback) [11:33] Yamazaki
Susumu.
(Flashback) [11:34] Yamazaki
Yamazaki Susumu.
[11:40] Yamazaki
That feels like such a long time ago.
[11:43] Yoshinobu
So much has happened since then.
[11:49] Yamazaki
But I was so surprised when you
gave me a sword as thanks.
[11:54] Yoshinobu
You did the same to me.
[11:57] Yoshinobu
I was surprised when I learned that
you were a member of the Shinsengumi.
[12:02] Yoshinobu
But then, he appeared.
[12:08] Yamazaki
I'm so sorry. I tried to save
you, but I took too long.
[12:13] Yoshinobu
Not at all. In fact, allow
me to thank you again.
[12:17] Yoshinobu
Thank you so much for
supporting me until now.
[12:23] Yamazaki
You are mistaken, Yoshinobu-sama.
[12:28] Yamazaki
It's not just until now. I'm
going to keep supporting you.
[12:38] Benkei
So, who should I take down?
[12:41] Mugensai
Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
[12:44] Benkei
Oh? I thought you were keeping him in
the castle. Are you sure about this?
[12:49] Mugensai
I was keeping him alive out of consideration
of his relationship with the emperor.
[12:53] Mugensai
But now that he's escaped,
it's another matter.
[12:56] Benkei
Do you know where he is?
[12:59] Mugensai
Of course, I have a clue.
[13:03] Hyo
E-E-E-Emperor!
[13:05] Mikado
What is it?
[13:07] Hyo
We're in big trouble!
[13:18] Mugensai
Tell Benkei to follow that owl.
[13:32] Takasugi
Well, I'm all out of ideas.
[13:35] Katsura
The assistance funds we received
from Sakamoto-kun have been depleted,
[13:39] Katsura
and we're at our limits
for cutting food costs.
[13:41] Takasugi
I can't fight on an empty stomach.
[13:49] Takasugi
That's...
[13:51] Katsura
It's odd to see one during the day.
[13:55] Takasugi
What do you say to some yakitori?
[13:57] Katsura
Come on, Shinsaku...
[14:00] Takasugi
Is there something on its foot?
[14:01] Benkei
You there.
[14:04] Benkei
Have you seen an owl with a letter
attached to its foot around here?
[14:09] Takasugi
What do you want with an owl,
you old-fashioned monk?
[14:15] Benkei
If you won't tell me, then...
[14:18] Takasugi
Sounds fun! Wanna go?
[14:21] Katsura
Stop it, Shinsaku. What good
is fighting him going to do?
[14:24] Takasugi
He started it. Don't stop me, Katsura.
[14:27] Takasugi
If you wanna stop me, I'll just do this!
[14:30] Katsura
Quit it! Don't do that!
[14:31] Takasugi
Let me go, then!
[14:33] Katsura
Not happening!
[14:35] Katsura
We need to avoid unnecessary fighting!
[14:37] Takasugi
Now you're starting to sound like Sakamoto!
[14:39] Benkei
You're lucky, young man.
[14:45] Katsura
Shinsaku, that mask...
[14:50] Katsura
That mask is just like the
one that Matsuo Basho wore!
[14:53] Takasugi
So he's one of the twelve
commanders of Susanoo? After him!
[14:56] Katsura
Huh?
[14:57] Takasugi
I'm on the trail of something interesting!
[15:00] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku!
[15:10] Kasumi
W-W-W-We're in trouble!
[15:17] Kasumi
Hurry! The assassin is already on his way!
[15:20] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, how's your right hand?
[15:23] Yoshinobu
It's fine.
[15:28] Yamazaki
Who are you?
[15:29] Benkei
One of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Musashibo Benkei.
[15:34] Yoshinobu
The legendary...
[15:36] Yamazaki
I guess we don't need to
discuss anything else, then.
[15:39] Benkei
That makes things easier.
[15:41] Yoshinobu
I'm the one he wants. I'll handle this.
[15:44] Yamazaki
No, please stand back.
[15:47] Yamazaki
You can't handle a sword in your condition.
[15:49] Yoshinobu
But...
[15:51] Yamazaki
Kasumi, please guard Yoshinobu-sama.
[15:54] Kasumi
I will do so.
[16:25] Kasumi
He's so light on his feet!
[16:28] Yoshinobu
Just like Ushiwakamaru, who learned
swordsmanship from a Kurama tengu.
[16:40] Yoshinobu
All right!
[16:41] Kasumi
He got him!
[16:44] Benkei
That was a nice move.
[16:51] Yamazaki
What?!
[16:52] Yoshinobu
It can't be! Is he actually...
[16:56] Kasumi
...wearing swords all over his body?!
[16:59] Benkei
As a reward, Mugensai has allowed me to keep
the swords of all those I have defeated.
[17:05] Benkei
So far, I have 999 swords.
[17:09] Benkei
I have picked the best swords from that
lot to serve as my protective armor.
[17:13] Benkei
Rejoice, for your sword will
be the thousandth one.
[17:18] Yamazaki
I see now.
[17:19] Yamazaki
You came here because you can't be
[17:22] Yamazaki
reunited with your true master until
you obtain the thousandth sword.
[17:27] Benkei
My true master?
[17:30] Benkei
I serve no one!
[17:32] Benkei
I'm only using Mugensai to gather my swords.
[17:37] Yamazaki
How pitiful.
[17:38] Yamazaki
A man who has no master to protect
[17:41] Yamazaki
is after swords that are
the symbol of the warrior.
[17:44] Yamazaki
I've never heard anything more ridiculous.
[17:46] Benkei
How dare you, you brat?
[17:52] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku! I'm out of breath!
[17:56] Takasugi
Seriously? You're so lazy.
[17:58] Katsura
What do you hope to accomplish by going after
one of the twelve commanders, anyway?
[18:03] Takasugi
It's like Shoin-sensei said,
[18:06] Takasugi
"It is a crime against humanity to sit idly
by and let an opportunity go to waste."
[18:11] Takasugi
Besides, we might find a clue
on how to destroy Mugensai.
[18:15] Katsura
You might be right.
[18:17] Takasugi
Okay, then, let's go!
[18:27] Benkei
How's that for you?!
[18:31] Yoshinobu
It's unbelievable how well he can move
[18:34] Yoshinobu
with all those swords attached to him.
[18:37] Kasumi
He is a fearsome opponent.
[18:42] Benkei
What was that about a man who
doesn't have a master to protect?
[18:46] Benkei
You can barely protect yourself
like this, let alone your master!
[18:51] Yoshinobu
Susumu!
[18:52] Yoshinobu
That's enough. Drop your sword!
[18:55] Yamazaki
But...
[18:56] Yoshinobu
Do it!
[18:59] Yamazaki
Understood.
[19:06] Benkei
So you've finally accepted your defeat?
[19:11] Benkei
What is this?
[19:13] Yamazaki
I wanted to defeat you with the
sword I received from Yoshinobu-sama.
[19:18] Yamazaki
Here I come!
[19:24] Yamazaki
Even if the swords are protecting you, you
should still feel the power of those impacts.
[19:31] Benkei
Impudent brat!
[19:48] Kasumi
This is...
[19:49] Yoshinobu
Susumu was originally a master of the staff.
[19:53] Yoshinobu
He had never actually touched a sword
before until I presented him with one.
[19:58] Kasumi
Then what was all that before?
[20:00] Yoshinobu
He was fighting with an unfamiliar
sword out of loyalty to me.
[20:11] Benkei
Don't be so cocky!
[20:22] Benkei
You damn brat!
[20:31] Yamazaki
Let's end this.
[20:45] Benkei
He flew?!
[20:55] Yamazaki
You wanted the thousandth one, right?
[21:10] Yoshinobu
So in the end, Benkei was
brought to a standstill.
[21:19] Takasugi
Is that... Tokugawa Yoshinobu?
[21:22] Katsura
What?!
[21:27] Katsura
That's...
[21:30] Katsura
Look. That looks like good steel material.
[21:38] Yoshinobu
That was a splendid fight, Susumu.
[21:41] Yamazaki
I am blessed with a good master.
[21:45] Yoshinobu
Don't be ridiculous. I am the one
who is blessed with good vassals.
[21:49] Yoshinobu
Like Kasumi, and Hyo,
[21:53] Yoshinobu
and you as well, Susumu.
[21:59] Yoshinobu
How many times have you saved my life now?
[22:03] Yamazaki
It's like I said.
[22:05] Yamazaki
I will keep saving you as long as I live.
[22:13] Yoshinobu
I'll be counting on that.
[23:50] Katsura
Shinsaku, I have a favor to ask you.
[23:52] Takasugi
Why so formal?
[23:53] Katsura
Let me say what the next
episode is sometimes!
[23:55] Takasugi
Sure thing!
[23:56] Katsura
Really? Thanks!
[23:57] Katsura
Next time on episode 7 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!
[23:59] Katsura
"Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!"
[24:01] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!
[24:02] Katsura
Hey! Damn it!
E7 - Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!

[00:01] Head Susanoo Soldier
Progress is currently at 75%.
[00:04] Head Susanoo Soldier
Production is going smoothly—
[00:05] Mugensai
Wasn't progress supposed
to be at over 90% by now?
[00:10] Head Susanoo Soldier
My apologies.
[00:12] Head Susanoo Soldier
No one in Japan has ever
made these things before.
[00:15] Mugensai
Enough of your excuses.
Just hurry up and finish them.
[00:19] Head Susanoo Soldier
Yes, sir!
[00:23] Takasugi
The giant castle Susanoo looms over Kyoto.
[00:25] Takasugi
This is another Bakumatsu ruled over
by the masked shogun, Mugensai.
[00:31] Takasugi
Previously, we happened to run into one
of the twelve commanders of Susanoo,
[00:35] Takasugi
and chased after him only to
find Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
[00:41] Katsura
There were traces of a fight on the
bridge where Lord Yoshinobu was.
[00:45] Katsura
It's likely that we came in at the
end of an intense fight between him
[00:48] Katsura
and the Susanoo commander
who was after his life.
[00:52] Takasugi
But Mugensai has the chronometer.
[00:55] Takasugi
He'll just turn back time on anything
that goes against his will...
[00:58] Takasugi
Hey, what's going on?
[01:01] Mugensai
So I still can't use it...
[01:08] Ryoma
You sure it was Tokugawa Yoshinobu?
[01:11] Takasugi
Yeah, there's no mistaking that blonde hair.
[01:14] Ryoma
After the Tokugawa shogunate collapsed,
[01:17] Ryoma
the leading theory was that Lord Yoshinobu
[01:19] Ryoma
was imprisoned in the
basement of Susanoo Castle.
[01:25] Ryoma
If Lord Yoshinobu has managed to escape...
[01:28] Katsura
Mugensai would use the
chronometer to turn back time.
[01:33] Takasugi
But it doesn't look like there are
any signs of that at the moment.
[01:36] Takasugi
Which means, for whatever reason,
he can't use the chronometer now.
[01:41] Takasugi
So we need to strike while the iron's hot
[01:43] Takasugi
and pay him back for everything
he's done in one fell swoop!
[01:47] Katsura
You're too loud, Shinsaku.
[01:50] Ryoma
And you want me to help out?
[01:52] Takasugi
I didn't say that.
[01:54] Takasugi
Give me your advice. What would you do?
[01:58] Ryoma
Last time...
[02:00] Ryoma
Didn't you say that my way of
trying to take control was boring?
[02:04] Takasugi
Now you're being heartless.
[02:06] Ryoma
It's called consistency.
[02:11] Takasugi
Well, if that's how you feel,
I'm not going to force you.
[02:14] Takasugi
Let's go, Katsura.
[02:18] Katsura
An earthquake?
[02:19] Ryoma
What, you don't know?
[02:22] Ryoma
There's something called a steam locomotive
that runs underneath the ground here.
[02:28] Takasugi
Steam locomotive?
SIGN Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!
[04:11] Takasugi
Hey, that's the pathway I took to
sneak into the castle the other day.
[04:15] Katsura
According to Sakamoto-kun,
[04:17] Katsura
this path is used to operate an
iron cart called a steam locomotive
[04:21] Katsura
that carries weapons and ammunition
from Osaka Harbor to the castle.
[04:26] Takasugi
That bastard Mugensai.
[04:28] Takasugi
I'm going to destroy that cart!
[04:30] Katsura
Calm down, Shinsaku.
[04:33] Katsura
Even if you destroy the cart or the pathway,
it'll just be repaired immediately.
[04:38] Takasugi
What should we do, then?
[04:39] Katsura
If we follow the flow of the goods,
[04:41] Katsura
we'll be able to find out
who's helping Mugensai.
[04:44] Katsura
And wouldn't it be better to
cut them off at the source?
[04:48] Takasugi
The source?
[04:49] Katsura
Let's gather information first.
[04:51] Katsura
We'll start from there.
[04:56] Takasugi
Let's head out, then.
[04:57] Katsura
Yes, to Osaka.
[05:07] Katsura
So that's the steam locomotive.
[05:10] Takasugi
It's pretty big.
[05:12] Takasugi
We won't be able to catch up
once that thing gets going.
[05:16] Takasugi
We'd better put a stop to it while we can.
[05:18] Katsura
What? Now?
[05:20] Takasugi
Obviously!
[05:21] Katsura
We're just on reconnaissance right now.
[05:23] Katsura
We'll come up with a plan to stop it later.
[05:25] Takasugi
Don't be stupid! Look!
[05:28] Takasugi
Once all of that gets into Mugensai's hands,
it's going to make the people of Kyoto suffer.
[05:33] Takasugi
We can't just ignore it!
[05:35] Katsura
Even so, it's too reckless!
[05:37] Takasugi
I know that.
[05:40] Katsura
You always do this!
[05:41] Katsura
Listen to what I'm saying to you for once!
[05:44] Takasugi
Katsura.
[05:46] Takasugi
The sooner the battle,
the sooner the reward.
[05:50] Takasugi
Act first, and you can think later.
[05:54] Katsura
Is that something Master Shoin said?
[05:58] Takasugi
Those aren't his words. They're mine.
[06:01] Katsura
Hey!
[06:01] Takasugi
We don't have time to sit
around talking. I'm going.
[06:06] Katsura
Wait, Shinsaku!
[06:10] Katsura
That idiot. He's always so impatient.
[06:15] Katsura
Isn't that the Shinsengumi?
[06:17] Katsura
So they're acting as security
for this thing, too.
[06:22] Takasugi
What do I have to remove to break this thing?
[06:25] Takasugi
This thing? This one?
[06:27] Takasugi
Damn it... I have no idea.
[06:29] Takasugi
I'll just have to remove things at random.
[06:35] Katsura
Shinsaku, it's me.
[06:37] Katsura
The Shinsengumi is here.
[06:39] Takasugi
What?!
[06:40] Katsura
This isn't the time. Let's come back later.
[06:43] Takasugi
Wait! Just a little bit more and I'll have it!
[06:46] Okita
What's this?
[06:48] Okita
If it isn't Kido-san.
[06:51] Okita
It's been a while.
[06:53] Katsura
Okita-san.
[06:55] Takasugi
Okita? Not him again.
[06:58] Okita
Kido-san, what are you doing here?
[07:01] Katsura
I'm... here for the same reason you are.
[07:05] Okita
Then you're here as back-up protection?
[07:07] Okita
Honestly, they work us too hard,
[07:10] Okita
making us come all the way out here.
[07:12] Katsura
Yes, it's a pain.
[07:15] Katsura
Does he not know who I really am
since time was turned back?
[07:31] Okita
Darn. You figured me out.
[07:34] Okita
Of course, I heard about you from Kondo-san.
[07:37] Okita
Instead of Kido Takayoshi, I should
call you Katsura Kogoro-san.
[07:42] Takasugi
We've been found out!
[07:44] Okita
I'm far more interested in fighting
you than guarding this place.
[07:50] Okita
You'll actually fight me in
earnest this time, won't you?
[07:54] Katsura
Let me think...
[07:57] Katsura
How about next time?
[07:59] Okita
Hey! Don't run away, Katsura-san!
[08:07] Takasugi
Huh? Where'd they go?
[08:29] Katsura
What the heck is this?!
[08:35] Takasugi
It's moving!
[08:37] Okita
There's the other rat!
[08:39] Takasugi
Oh, crap.
[08:43] Takasugi
See ya, Okita!
[08:50] Okita
Darn it.
[08:52] Okita
I'll have to contact the castle.
[09:09] Katsura
Damn it, I can't get free.
[09:12] Takasugi
Katsura?
[09:13] Katsura
Shinsaku?
[09:15] Takasugi
What are you doing in there?
[09:18] Katsura
I was trying to hide in here
when this thing trapped me.
[09:22] Katsura
Hurry up and get it off of me!
[09:25] Takasugi
Okay, hang on.
[09:27] Takasugi
It won't budge.
[09:33] Katsura
Shinsaku, be careful.
[09:35] Katsura
This happened when I stepped
on a protrusion on the floor.
[09:37] Takasugi
Protrusion?
[09:39] Takasugi
Everything looks fine to me.
[09:42] Katsura
Hey, be a little more careful.
[09:46] Takasugi
It's tight.
[09:47] Katsura
You can't open it by force.
[09:50] Katsura
There has to be a way to remove
it somewhere around here.
[09:53] Takasugi
Nah. I have a much faster way right here.
[09:59] Katsura
In a shaky place like this?
[10:00] Takasugi
Just stay still.
[10:01] Katsura
Hey! I didn't agree to this!
[10:04] Takasugi
Hold your breath!
[10:05] Katsura
Hey, wait!
[10:15] Takasugi
Huh?
[10:17] Katsura
What the hell?! Any closer and
you would've cut me in half!
[10:21] Takasugi
Okay, next time I won't miss.
[10:23] Katsura
No, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[10:25] Katsura
Look for a way to get me
out of this trap first!
[10:28] Katsura
I'm begging you! Seriously! Okay? Got it?
[10:31] Takasugi
Sheesh, fine.
[10:56] Mugensai
I see. So it's Takasugi and Katsura again.
[11:00] Hisako
The train is carrying that item right now.
[11:04] Hisako
Should the worst happen...
[11:06] Mugensai
There's no need to worry.
[11:09] Mugensai
That man is on the train.
[11:19] Takasugi
I can't find anything that
looks like it'll work.
[11:29] Takasugi
What's that?
[11:37] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[11:40] Hijikata
I thought I heard a commotion and came
to find a crafty fox in our mousetrap.
[11:45] Katsura
Hijikata...
[11:50] Hijikata
You played a rather terrible
joke on us, Katsura Kogoro-san.
[12:06] Takasugi
Ouch... Damn it.
[12:12] Takasugi
This is bad. The Shinsengumi
aren't going to let Katsura live.
[12:17] Takasugi
I have to save him somehow!
[12:20] Hijikata
I can't allow you to get away with making
fools of Kondo-san's Shinsengumi.
[12:28] Hijikata
Prepare yourself.
[12:44] Takasugi
Damn it!
[13:05] Takasugi
Katsura...
(Flashback) [13:19] Katsura
Master Shoin, I'm so sorry.
(Flashback) [13:23] Katsura
We went to them to persuade them to stop
interfering with what we were doing
(Flashback) [13:27] Katsura
without understanding you or your teachings.
(Flashback) [13:31] Katsura
But during our talks, Shinsaku lost his
temper and crossed blades with them.
(Flashback) [13:35] Takasugi
What are you talking about? The way
that was going, I had to fight them!
(Flashback) [13:40] Katsura
We were supposed to convince
them using our words first.
(Flashback) [13:43] Katsura
Had someone died, it would have defiled
the name of the Shoukasonjuku Academy.
(Flashback) [13:48] Katsura
Try to think before you act!
(Flashback) [13:49] Takasugi
What?! I can't help it if you're slow!
(Flashback) [13:53] Katsura
You're always like this!
(Flashback) [13:55] Takasugi
Always like what?!
(Flashback) [13:55] Shoin
Stop it.
(Flashback) [13:57] Shoin
Takasugi-kun, will you please explain
to me why you acted as you did?
(Flashback) [14:03] Takasugi
Yes. At that moment, the samurai
behind Katsura took up a spear.
(Flashback) [14:08] Katsura
What?
(Flashback) [14:13] Takasugi
That meeting was likely a set-up.
(Flashback) [14:16] Takasugi
Given the number of people and the
space between them, I knew that
(Flashback) [14:19] Takasugi
the only way to save Katsura
was to draw my sword first.
(Flashback) [14:28] Takasugi
That's why I did it.
(Flashback) [14:35] Shoin
Placing trust in people
(Flashback) [14:36] Shoin
is far better than doubting them, of course.
(Flashback) [14:41] Shoin
Even if I have a fault of
trusting people too much,
(Flashback) [14:45] Shoin
I want to make sure I never have
the fault of being too distrusting.
(Flashback) [14:49] Takasugi
Master...
(Flashback) [14:51] Shoin
Takasugi-kun, you are as swift as lightning,
and Katsura-kun is a man of discretion.
(Flashback) [14:56] Shoin
If the two of you would come together,
you would be a powerful force.
(Flashback) [15:00] Shoin
And a time will certainly come
when Japan will need that force.
(Flashback) [15:08] Shoin
You must work together.
(Flashback) [15:15] Shunsuke
Master!
(Flashback) [15:19] Shunsuke
Master!
(Flashback) [15:20] Takasugi
What's got you so worked up, Shunsuke?
(Flashback) [15:24] Shunsuke
The shogunate has ordered that
you present yourself in Edo!
(Flashback) [15:33] Shoin
Is that so?
[16:04] Ryoma
Hey, Takasugi-san!
[16:06] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[16:08] Ryoma
What a coincidence!
[16:20] Ryoma
Our prey is close!
[16:27] Hijikata
Any last words?
[16:33] Katsura
Cutting down a man when he can't
move just makes you pathetic.
[16:38] Hijikata
Excuse me?
[16:40] Katsura
Is Mugensai actually treating the
Shinsengumi like real samurai?
[16:46] Katsura
What would you do if Mugensai
ordered you to kill Kondo?
[16:54] Hijikata
You underestimate us.
[17:04] Hijikata
Cursed rats...
[17:09] Takasugi
Katsura!
[17:11] Ryoma
Let's go, Izo!
[17:12] Izo
Right.
[17:18] Ryoma
This is quite the impressive amount, indeed.
[17:21] Ryoma
It would be trouble if these were
to fall into Mugensai's hands.
[17:30] Takasugi
Katsura!
[17:35] Takasugi
Hijikata... You really did
a number on me earlier!
[17:40] Hijikata
The Shinsengumi's orders
are to kill any traitors.
[17:44] Takasugi
Wagging your tail for
Mugensai as usual, I see.
[17:48] Takasugi
I can hear it whipping around behind you.
[17:53] Hijikata
Damn you...
[17:54] Takasugi
Sakamoto, Izo! I don't need help!
[17:57] Takasugi
I got this guy— Huh?
[18:00] Ryoma
Take care, Takasugi-san.
[18:03] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto!
[18:07] Izo
Ryoma, you sure about this?
[18:10] Ryoma
Don't forget what we came to do, Izo.
[18:14] Takasugi
Damn, he's such a heartless bastard.
[18:18] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[18:19] Takasugi
Hang in there a bit longer.
I'll take care of this guy in no time.
[18:24] Hijikata
That would be my line.
[18:29] Katsura
Shinsaku...
[18:45] Hijikata
What's going on?
[18:46] Susanoo Soldier
The locomotive's brakes aren't working!
[18:48] Susanoo Soldier
W-We can't stop!
[18:49] Hijikata
What?
[18:52] Takasugi
Hey! You're running away?!
[18:55] Hijikata
I will only do what I have to do.
[18:58] Takasugi
What kind of nonsense is that?
[19:01] Takasugi
Wait, you!
[19:04] Takasugi
Damn that bastard.
[19:06] Katsura
Hey, Shinsaku.
[19:08] Takasugi
Oh, yeah. I forgot all about you.
[19:14] Katsura
Thanks, Shinsaku.
[19:16] Takasugi
That Hijikata bastard got away.
[19:18] Katsura
More importantly, we need to get out of here.
[19:20] Takasugi
Yeah, but how?
[19:22] Katsura
Well, um...
[19:35] Takasugi
Think we can use it?
[19:36] Katsura
Hang on. I'm reading up on it now.
[19:38] Takasugi
Oh, for crying out loud!
[19:51] Takasugi
Take this off? Put this on? Oh, I get it!
[19:55] Katsura
Okay!
[19:56] Takasugi
Huh? What's with this strap?
[19:58] Katsura
What have you done?!
[20:00] Takasugi
You were taking too long!
[20:03] Takasugi
Wha...
[20:04] Katsura
We would never be saved if
things were left up to you!
[20:07] Takasugi
Okay, okay, I get it.
[20:12] Takasugi
Things are always like this.
[20:15] Takasugi
My lightning speed and your discretion.
[20:19] Katsura
That's what Master Shoin said...
[20:27] Katsura
You're all set now.
[20:29] Takasugi
Let's go, Katsura.
[20:30] Katsura
Yeah!
[20:46] Susanoo Soldier A
H-Hey...
[20:48] Susanoo Soldier B
It's going too fast!
[21:27] Katsura
You're completely reckless, you know.
[21:30] Katsura
You just act without thinking
about the consequences.
[21:33] Takasugi
We'd never get anywhere if I
overthought things like you.
[21:38] Katsura
Excuse me?
[21:39] Takasugi
You heard me!
[21:45] Susanoo Soldier
They fell somewhere over here!
[21:47] Susanoo Soldier
Find them!
[21:48] Takasugi
Looks like they caught up.
[21:50] Takasugi
Let's get out of here, Katsura.
[21:52] Takasugi
That way!
[21:53] Katsura
Wait! That way is...
[21:56] Hijikata
I believe this is the item
you told me to guard.
[22:04] Mugensai
Well done, Hijikata.
[22:07] Mugensai
The steam locomotive,
weapons, and ammunition
[22:09] Mugensai
are nowhere near as valuable as this.
[22:12] Mugensai
They will soon know how
powerful this object is.
[23:50] Takasugi
That's the first time I've
ever jumped from that height.
[23:53] Katsura
It scared the life out of me.
[23:55] Takasugi
I'm already used to it.
[23:57] Katsura
Aren't you overestimating yourself?
[23:57] Katsura
Next time on episode 8 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN The Kinkaji Incident! Izo Dies?
[23:59] ---
Hey, are you listening?
[23:59] Katsura
"The Kinkaji Incident! Izo Dies?"
[24:02] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

[00:02] Katsura
Mugensai was transporting arms
and ammunition to the castle
[00:06] Katsura
using a massive cart called
a "steam locomotive."
[00:09] Takasugi
And you got stuck in some trap and
almost got killed by Hijikata.
[00:13] Katsura
Yes, but you came to save me,
and I made it out alive.
[00:16] Takasugi
Sakamoto and Izo were there,
but weapons and munitions
[00:20] Takasugi
were more important to them than your life.
[00:23] Katsura
Don't blame them. I'm sure
they had their reasons.
[00:27] Takasugi
After that, the locomotive crashed
into the castle at high speed
[00:30] Takasugi
because the brakes weren't working.
[00:33] Katsura
It's probably in pieces now.
[00:34] Takasugi
Yeah... I hope the shogunate loses
some of its power after this.
[00:49] Ryoma
Now, then, how are we going to use this?
[00:53] Ryoma
Whaddya think, Izo?
[00:55] Izo
I'll leave that up to you.
[00:57] Ryoma
You're no help at all.
[00:59] Izo
That's not my job.
[01:03] Ryoma
Oh, that's right. I'm the
one who does the thinking.
[01:08] Izo
I'll kill whoever you tell me to kill.
[01:12] Izo
That's the only thing I have to do.
SIGN The Kinkaji Incident! Izo Dies?
[02:52] Mugensai
You said your name was Sakamoto Ryoma?
[02:55] Ryoma
Yes, sir.
[02:56] Mugensai
I had heard that you were a traitor,
and yet you summon me like this.
[03:03] Ryoma
I am extremely delighted
that a ronin such as myself
[03:08] Ryoma
has been permitted to meet with you.
[03:12] Mugensai
Look at me.
[03:14] Ryoma
Yes, sir!
[03:15] Mugensai
You said that you wished
to make a deal with me.
[03:20] Ryoma
That is correct.
[03:22] Mugensai
The shogunate's steam locomotive was
recently raided by an unknown party,
[03:27] Mugensai
and a good deal of arms and
ammunition have gone missing.
[03:31] Ryoma
Hard to believe that there
could be someone so reckless
[03:35] Ryoma
as to steal arms and ammunition
from the shogunate.
[03:40] Mugensai
And now, it appears that
someone is trying to sell
[03:43] Mugensai
the stolen arms and ammunition
back to the shogunate.
[03:47] Ryoma
There seems to be some
sort of misunderstanding.
[03:50] Ryoma
I am not such a daring person as that.
[03:55] Mugensai
Then tell me, just what is it
that you're trying to sell me?
[04:02] Ryoma
What I am selling...
[04:06] Ryoma
is myself!
[04:13] Katsura
Hey, Shinsaku, we managed
to destroy that cart thing,
[04:17] Katsura
but what are we going to do now?
[04:19] Takasugi
Why ask this now?
[04:21] Katsura
I was just wondering if you had
anything in mind for the future.
[04:27] Takasugi
Well, I think the world we're
in now is pretty boring,
[04:33] Takasugi
so I'd like to destroy the
chronometer and do something
[04:36] Takasugi
about Mugensai, since
they're the primary cause.
[04:40] Katsura
And after that?
[04:42] Takasugi
I just want to make the world interesting.
[04:45] Katsura
Interesting? Like how?
[04:48] Takasugi
Like I said, just interesting!
[04:51] Katsura
Specifically how?
[04:54] Takasugi
You always want the details.
[04:57] Katsura
It's my nature.
[04:58] Soldier
Hurry up!
[05:03] Soldier
Everyone is here.
[05:04] Okita
We will be heading to Kinkakuji now
on emergency orders from Mugensai-sama.
[05:11] Soldier A
Emergency orders?
[05:13] Soldier B
What happened?
[05:15] Saito
Our mission today is to go and capture
a traitor that appeared there.
[05:20] Soldier A
A traitor?
[05:21] Soldier B
Who is it?
[05:23] Okita
Sakamoto Ryoma.
[05:26] Okita
Though, if we can't capture him,
I'm sure it's okay for us to kill him.
[05:32] Saito
Okita.
[05:33] Okita
I'm joking.
[05:34] Okita
Well, let's go.
[05:38] Takasugi
Sakamoto is in Kinkakuji?
What is he going to do?
[05:43] Katsura
Come to think of it, last time...
(Flashback) [05:46] Ryoma
Takasugi-san, Katsura-san,
(Flashback) [05:48] Ryoma
were there any signs of changes in
time after the trouble on the train?
(Flashback) [05:53] Takasugi
No, I didn't sense anything.
(Flashback) [05:56] Katsura
Me, either.
(Flashback) [05:58] Katsura
As of now, it seems that the
chronometer hasn't been used.
(Flashback) [06:02] Ryoma
Which means that Mugensai's
chronometer is still unusable.
(Flashback) [06:09] Ryoma
That's all I wanted to ask you.
(Flashback) [06:12] Ryoma
Sorry to bother you.
(Flashback) [06:13] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto! You're up to
something again, aren't you?
(Flashback) [06:17] Ryoma
Not at all. I'm just doing
some business negotiations.
(Flashback) [06:21] Ryoma
If all goes well, we might get
our hands on the chronometer.
(Flashback) [06:24] Takasugi
What?!
(Flashback) [06:26] Izo
Ryoma...
(Flashback) [06:27] Ryoma
Oops, it appears I've said too much.
[06:40] Katsura
He said he was doing some
business negotiations.
[06:43] Katsura
Shinsaku, do you think Sakamoto-kun plans
to meet with Mugensai at Kinkakuji
[06:47] Katsura
and steal the chronometer?
[06:50] Takasugi
But how?
[06:51] Katsura
I don't know, but what I can be sure about
[06:55] Katsura
is that it looks like Mugensai has
already figured out Sakamoto-kun's plan.
[07:04] Mugensai
You're selling yourself?
[07:07] Mugensai
So are you saying you will serve me?
[07:11] Ryoma
That certainly doesn't sound like a bad deal.
[07:15] Ryoma
However, even if you used
all of the shogunate's assets,
[07:20] Ryoma
you couldn't pay for one day of my service.
[07:25] Mugensai
That is quite an exorbitant price.
[07:27] Ryoma
I'm only saying that that's what I'm worth.
[07:33] Ryoma
Especially now, considering that you
are unable to use the chronometer.
[07:41] Ryoma
It's all right, Izo.
[07:44] Mugensai
Go on.
[07:45] Ryoma
I'm sure you'd like to be able to use
the chronometer as soon as possible.
[07:53] Ryoma
But rest assured, I happened
upon something recently...
[08:00] Ryoma
A way to revive the chronometer once more.
[08:04] Ryoma
That must be something you're
desperately eager to know.
[08:09] Mugensai
So you're willing to sell
me that information?
[08:13] Ryoma
As I said before, I am selling myself.
[08:20] Ryoma
I would like to assist you with this
new world that you are creating.
[08:28] Mugensai
Then you wish to join me?
[08:34] Ryoma
What is it?
[08:36] Izo
Someone's coming.
[08:37] Mugensai
Do not worry. There is no one here but us.
[08:46] Ryoma
He's so stubborn.
[08:49] Ryoma
I apologize for him.
[08:50] Ryoma
He's not really good in formal settings.
[09:13] Izo
The Shinsengumi!
[09:17] Okita
That's enough, Okada Izo.
[09:22] Izo
You tricked us, Mugensai!
[09:25] Mugensai
A contract?
[09:27] Mugensai
I see. You've thought this through.
[09:29] Mugensai
If this gets the chronometer working again...
[09:32] Ryoma
Yes, any amount of money I would
get from you would be meaningless,
[09:37] Ryoma
since I would be right back where I
started once you turned back time.
[09:42] Ryoma
Which is why I'm saying that
it's best for us to join forces.
[09:46] Mugensai
But is that truly what you want?
[09:49] Ryoma
Huh?
[09:49] Mugensai
You have continued your resistance
against me as a traitor
[09:52] Mugensai
out of dissatisfaction for my rule, just
like Takasugi Shinsaku and his friend.
[09:59] Ryoma
You give me too much credit.
[10:03] Ryoma
Takasugi-san and I never really
saw eye-to-eye to begin with.
[10:09] Ryoma
Let's just say that his principles, well...
[10:12] Ryoma
They place too much emphasis on reason.
[10:15] Ryoma
That kind of logic just doesn't
align with my own interests.
[10:19] Mugensai
Then what are you after, beyond using the
chronometer and crossing through time?
[10:26] Ryoma
Well, there are far more amazing things
one can do with the chronometer.
[10:31] Ryoma
I honestly haven't thought
about anything beyond that.
[10:35] Mugensai
You're an interesting fellow.
[10:38] Mugensai
All right, then. Your proposal
seems to have some merit.
[10:43] Ryoma
Thank you, Mugensai-sama! I knew
you'd understand what I was after.
[10:49] Mugensai
But first, I must have proof that this
method you speak of is the real thing.
[11:03] Mugensai
Look down there.
[11:17] Takasugi
That's...
[11:27] Ryoma
Izo!
[11:28] Mugensai
He will be shoved into the water.
[11:31] Ryoma
What?!
[11:32] Mugensai
He will undoubtedly die
if that happens, of course.
[11:37] Ryoma
Obviously!
[11:38] Mugensai
But there is clearly no reason to worry,
[11:41] Mugensai
if your method to restore
the chronometer truly works.
[11:49] Mugensai
Even if he dies here and now,
[11:52] Mugensai
we can just activate the chronometer
and use it to turn back time,
[11:55] Mugensai
making it so that it never happened.
[11:59] Ryoma
That's insane!
[12:02] Katsura
What's going on?
[12:03] Takasugi
What is Sakamoto trying to do?
[12:08] Mugensai
Well? This will prove that
what you told me is the truth.
[12:13] Mugensai
It's very simple.
[12:16] Ryoma
You can test the chronometer
without doing all this!
[12:20] Mugensai
I'm telling you to show me your resolve,
[12:24] Mugensai
if you truly wish to join forces with me.
[12:48] Ryoma
I'm sorry, Izo.
[12:55] Takasugi
Izo!
(Flashback) [13:21] Samurai
Wh-Who are you?
(Flashback) [13:24] Izo
I am only an assassin.
(Flashback) [13:26] Samurai
So you're... Izo the Mansla—
(Flashback) [13:41] Izo
Ryoma?
(Flashback) [13:44] Ryoma
Long time no see, Izo.
(Flashback) [13:46] Ryoma
I heard a rumor about some mad dog
(Flashback) [13:48] Ryoma
that was going around killing
people indiscriminately in Kyoto,
(Flashback) [13:52] Ryoma
but I didn't think it'd be you.
(Flashback) [13:55] Ryoma
Izo!
(Flashback) [13:57] Ryoma
If you keep doing this, one day—
(Flashback) [13:58] Izo
Save your speeches. My only
purpose in life is to kill.
(Flashback) [14:02] Izo
Nothing more.
(Flashback) [14:11] Samurai A
What a sad state for one
such as Izo the Manslayer.
(Flashback) [14:16] Samurai B
Give it up. It's time for
you to pay the piper.
(Flashback) [14:44] Ryoma
You still alive, Izo?
(Flashback) [14:47] Ryoma
You're seriously a pain in the ass.
(Flashback) [14:50] Izo
I didn't ask you to save me...
(Flashback) [14:59] Ryoma
A sword is something that should only be used
(Flashback) [15:03] Ryoma
when it is absolutely
necessary to kill someone.
(Flashback) [15:06] Ryoma
That is its purpose.
(Flashback) [15:11] Ryoma
Hey, Izo, why don't you work for me?
(Flashback) [15:16] Ryoma
I'll be the one to decide who
you should kill from now on.
[15:33] Takasugi
Why isn't Sakamoto helping him?!
[15:37] Katsura
He's going to die at this rate!
[15:43] Saito
Takasugi Shinsaku!
[15:45] Okita
I thought someone might
have been following us.
[15:49] Okita
And even Katsura-san is here.
[16:01] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[16:03] Okita
I will be your opponent, Katsura-san!
[16:07] Takasugi
Damn it! Katsura, we have to get Izo fast!
[16:11] Katsura
But against this many...
[16:13] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto!
[16:14] Takasugi
I don't know what you've got planned,
[16:17] Takasugi
but Mugensai has already
seen through your schemes!
[16:21] Takasugi
It's a trap!
[16:28] Ryoma
Mugensai, you knew all along?
[16:31] Mugensai
Did you honestly think I
would believe your bluff?
[16:38] Ryoma
I wonder about that.
[16:42] Ryoma
You may have thought my story was a lie,
[16:45] Ryoma
but I evoked your interest
just a little bit, didn't I?
[16:50] Ryoma
There's no way someone like you would've
been taken in by my bluff so easily.
[16:56] Ryoma
Do you really think I wouldn't have
considered such a possibility?
[17:03] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto!
[17:05] Katsura
Izo's going to die at this rate!
[17:09] Mugensai
Just what are you up to?
[17:15] Mugensai
Is this all part of your plan?
[17:40] Ryoma
You know, Mugensai, a trump card
is better saved until the end.
[17:46] Okita
What was that?
[17:48] Katsura
My eyes!
[17:50] Takasugi
He couldn't have...
[17:53] Ryoma
Oh, that reminds me.
[17:56] Ryoma
There's another way to cross time
other than the chronometer.
[18:01] Mugensai
You mean Seimei?
[18:06] Mugensai
Did you find Seimei?
[18:10] Mugensai
Which means you used Seimei's power
[18:13] Mugensai
to turn back time and save
Okada from certain death.
[18:17] Ryoma
That is correct.
[18:22] Ryoma
Or that's what I'd like to say, but
we haven't actually found Seimei yet.
[18:28] Ryoma
I heard from Takasugi-san
[18:31] Ryoma
that there's light and shaking when you
turn back time, like there was just now.
[18:36] Ryoma
But what just happened
[18:39] Ryoma
was the explosion of the gunpowder
that we stole from your own train.
[18:58] Ryoma
Looks like it's time to go.
[19:00] Izo
Ryoma, what about him?
[19:02] Ryoma
Naturally, I don't care if you kill him.
[19:23] Takasugi
Hey, Sakamoto!
[19:24] Takasugi
What the hell was that about?! Tell me!
[19:29] Ryoma
It's not a big deal. I was just
thinking about what we were
[19:32] Ryoma
going to do with the massive
amount of ammunition we stole,
[19:38] Ryoma
and I knew it wouldn't put up much
of a challenge to the shogunate,
[19:42] Ryoma
but I figured it might
make a great distraction.
[19:46] Ryoma
Since Mugensai was going to
pretend to be on board with
[19:49] Ryoma
my proposal before
turning the tables on me,
[19:52] Ryoma
I was going to use his
own methods against him.
[19:56] Ryoma
Since I'd gathered information beforehand
as to how Mugensai would turn on me,
[20:01] Ryoma
it was easy to make it
seem like Izo was dead.
[20:07] Ryoma
And thanks to you guys drawing
the attention of the Shinsengumi,
[20:11] Ryoma
it all worked out perfectly!
[20:15] Takasugi
You bastard! So you just used us?!
[20:18] Katsura
Back off, Shinsaku.
[20:19] Katsura
Regardless of how he did it, he
managed to steal the chronometer.
[20:28] Ryoma
Something the matter?
[20:29] Katsura
Shinsaku, the chronometer
wasn't reversed, was it?
[20:35] Takasugi
Let me see.
[20:38] Takasugi
This isn't the chronometer.
[20:42] Katsura
It's fake?
[20:43] Takasugi
Yeah...
[20:44] Ryoma
What?!
[20:46] Ryoma
Damn it, Mugensai duped me!
[20:52] Takasugi
He totally tricked you!
[20:55] Katsura
Which means he's still one step ahead of us.
[21:00] Ryoma
At least we were able to clarify one thing.
[21:04] Ryoma
Mugensai is also looking
for Seimei right now.
[21:17] Izo
Ryoma.
[21:20] Izo
If that townsman we hired hadn't
saved me from drowning in that lake,
[21:26] Izo
what would you have done?
[21:28] Ryoma
That wouldn't have happened.
[21:30] Izo
However, there is the possibility that
something unexpected could happen.
[21:35] Ryoma
Oh, come on. The Okada Izo I know
[21:39] Ryoma
would be able to survive any
crisis he might encounter.
[21:44] Izo
Is that so?
(Flashback) [21:51] Ryoma
I'm sorry, Izo.
[23:50] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun made a pretty bold move.
[23:52] Takasugi
Don't worry. He can't hold a candle to you
joining the Shinsengumi under a false name.
[23:56] Katsura
I wasn't trying to compare myself to him.
[23:57] Katsura

[00:02] Kondo
When the Tokugawa shogunate
was destroyed three years ago,
[00:05] Kondo
I had a choice to make.
[00:08] Kondo
Would the Shinsengumi be destroyed
along with the Tokugawa?
[00:12] Kondo
Or would we survive and serve a new master?
[00:17] Kondo
I chose to abandon Yoshinobu-sama.
[00:27] Okita
Didn't that man look a bit like Yamazaki?
[00:30] Kondo
Couldn't be. I killed him myself.
[00:34] Hijikata
He was a traitor who refused to
serve the lord of the castle.
[00:37] Hijikata
Don't ever speak his name
in front of Kondo-san again.
SIGN Clash! The Last Samurai!
(Flashback) [02:30] Yamazaki
Is it true that we're going
to serve the new shogunate?
(Flashback) [02:33] Kondo
Yes, it is.
(Flashback) [02:34] Yamazaki
Why?
(Flashback) [02:37] Yamazaki
We swore our loyalty to Tokugawa!

Times have changed.

The Shinsengumi will serve Mugensai-sama.
(Flashback) [02:45] Yamazaki
You can't expect me to be able to do that!
(Flashback) [02:48] Kondo
Then commit ritual suicide.
(Flashback) [02:51] Kondo
If you will not obey our master
(Flashback) [02:52] Kondo
and do not follow the samurai
code, you commit ritual suicide.
(Flashback) [02:55] Kondo
That is the code of the Shinsengumi.
(Flashback) [02:57] Yamazaki
Our master?
(Flashback) [03:01] Yamazaki
Our only master is Yoshinobu-sama!
(Flashback) [03:05] Yamazaki
You're the one who isn't following
the samurai code, Kondo-san!
(Flashback) [03:09] Yamazaki
I'm leaving the unit and
searching for Yoshinobu-sama.
(Flashback) [03:13] Kondo
Yoshinobu-sama is dead!
(Flashback) [03:17] Kondo
But even if he were alive,
(Flashback) [03:20] Kondo
we would kill him if Mugensai-sama
ordered us to do so!
(Flashback) [03:25] Yamazaki
Silence!
(Flashback) [03:43] Kondo
This ends now!
[04:06] Kondo
Yamazaki, I'm entrusting
Yoshinobu-sama to you.
[04:12] Hijikata
Kondo-san.
[04:15] Hijikata
You're still training?
[04:17] Kondo
Yes.
[04:19] Hijikata
Is there something on your mind?
[04:21] Kondo
No, I was just ruminating on the past.
[04:31] Kondo
Kondo Isami, commander of
the Shinsengumi, has arrived.
[04:35] Mugensai
I summoned you here because
[04:37] Mugensai
the man I've been looking for has
been found west of Lake Biwa.
[04:45] Mugensai
Bring him here immediately.
[04:48] Kondo
Who is it?
[04:50] Mugensai
His name is Seimei. You don't
need to know anything else.
[04:55] Kondo
Understood.
[04:56] Mugensai
Kondo, there are many people after this man.
[05:00] Mugensai
Take skilled men with you and
go after him immediately.
[05:03] Kondo
Yes, sir.
[05:11] Mikado
I see. So Seimei has been found.
[05:14] Hyo
Yes, he's apparently west of Lake Biwa.
[05:17] Mikado
Hyo, send word to Yoshinobu immediately.
[05:20] Mikado
Tell him where Seimei is and that the
Shinsengumi are on their way there.
[05:26] Hyo
Right away!
[05:42] Susanoo Soldier
Mugensai-sama.
[05:44] Susanoo Soldier
We have installed the motors
by copying this model.
[05:48] Susanoo Soldier
The airships are nearly complete now.
[05:51] Mugensai
I see.
[05:53] Mugensai
Now I can finally look down
on other countries from above.
[06:04] Katsura
Shinsaku, are you sure about this?
[06:07] Katsura
If this fails, the cannonballs
will land exactly on this spot.
[06:11] Takasugi
Don't be such a baby, Katsura.
[06:13] Takasugi
We won't know if something's
going to work unless we try it.
[06:16] Katsura
That's true, but still...
[06:20] Katsura
How do you plan to try it?
[06:23] Takasugi
Like this!
[06:27] Katsura
You've had that all this time?!
[06:31] Takasugi
I'm telling you, we'll be fine as long
as we don't insult Mugensai-sama.
[06:35] Takasugi
Okay, here we go.
[06:39] Takasugi
I'm going to march into Susanoo
Castle, wreck the place,
[06:42] Takasugi
and chop Mugensai to bits!
[06:45] Takasugi
Try and stop me if you can!
[06:57] Katsura
We're doomed!
[07:16] Takasugi
That was a successful test.
[07:17] Katsura
Seriously, I think my heart stopped.
[07:20] Takasugi
You're such a worrywart.
[07:27] Okita
Kondo-san's running late.
[07:30] Saito
He's probably getting an earful.
[07:32] Okita
The train was broken, and Sakamoto
has managed to slip away.
[07:36] Okita
Nothing good has been going on lately.
[07:39] Okita
Just what does the lord of the
castle think of the Shinsengumi?
[07:43] Saito
Forget about Mugensai.
[07:46] Okita
Wow, bold words, Saito-san.
[07:51] Kondo
Sorry for the wait.
[07:54] Kondo
We're bringing this man back to the castle.
[07:57] Okita
Who is he?
[07:58] Kondo
I don't know, but this mission was given
to me directly by the lord of the castle.
[08:03] Kondo
I will be taking command.
[08:06] Kondo
Soji, Saito, you will join me.
[08:09] Okita
It's just the three of us?
[08:10] Kondo
I can't bring the other men with me and
have them swarming all over the mountains.
[08:14] Okita
I don't really mind if
that's what you want to do.
[08:20] Okita
You're not going, Hijikata-san?
[08:22] Hijikata
I have some things to attend to.
[08:24] Kondo
Toshi, make sure it's all taken care of.
[08:28] Hijikata
Right.
[08:35] Kasumi
They've finally figured out where Seimei is!
[08:38] Yoshinobu
Really?
[08:40] Yamazaki
It's the spot indicated on this map.
[08:43] Yamazaki
What's the matter, Kasumi?
[08:45] Kasumi
It says that there are others who
are trying to capture Seimei.
[08:49] Yoshinobu
Who is it?
[08:52] Kasumi
The Shinsengumi.
[09:14] Takasugi
Katsura!
[09:15] Katsura
Hang on a minute. I'm almost done.
[09:18] Takasugi
Did you put one in the hideout?
[09:19] Katsura
I haven't had a chance yet.
[09:21] Takasugi
I'll go do it, then.
[09:23] Katsura
Yeah, please do.
[09:28] Katsura
Shinsaku?
[09:36] Takasugi
There, that should do it.
[09:41] Shinsengumi Soldier
We are the Shinsengumi!
[09:42] Shinsengumi Soldier
We're here on official business!
[09:58] Takasugi
Piece of cake.
[10:07] Hijikata
Don't interfere.
[10:09] Hijikata
You're my prey.
[10:11] Takasugi
You're awfully persistent.
You wanna kill me that badly?
[10:15] Hijikata
I will kill anyone who defies my master.
[10:18] Takasugi
Just what are you Mibu ronin
trying to put on airs for?
[10:21] Takasugi
Do you have any idea what
kind of person Mugensai is?
[10:25] Hijikata
What?
[10:26] Takasugi
Mugensai is making the people suffer and
plans to start a war with other countries.
[10:31] Takasugi
It isn't even his own power. He's using
some cowardly tool called a chronometer.
[10:37] Hijikata
Chronometer?
[10:39] Takasugi
It grants riches, manipulates time,
and allows one to rule the world.
[10:45] Hijikata
The legendary treasure of the Murakami Navy?
[10:48] Takasugi
Mugensai destroyed your former master,
[10:51] Takasugi
Tokugawa Yoshinobu, using the
power of that legendary treasure.
[10:55] Hijikata
You're just making up wild stories.
[10:58] Takasugi
Your loss if you don't believe me.
[11:00] Takasugi
Serving some useless guy like Mugensai
just means you guys aren't true samurai.
[11:09] Takasugi
No matter how much you polish
a fake, it's still a fake!
[11:13] Takasugi
Remember that!
[11:17] Hijikata
Shut up!
[11:27] Takasugi
You're pretty good.
[11:34] Takasugi
Huh?
[11:44] Hijikata
Reporting in.
[11:46] Hijikata
I have captured Takasugi Shinsaku.
[11:48] Mugensai
What?
[11:49] Hijikata
He is currently being held
in the castle's prison.
[11:52] Mugensai
Bring him to me at once.
[11:54] Hijikata
Yes, sir.
[12:00] Mugensai
Hijikata...
[12:02] Mugensai
Well done.
[12:14] Katsura
Shinsaku...
[12:25] Takasugi
Master Shoin.
[12:27] Takasugi
How have you been since we last met?
[12:30] Takasugi
I, Takasugi Shinsaku, will be sure to protect
[12:34] Takasugi
the Shoka Sonjuku Academy
until you are able to return,
[12:38] Takasugi
so please don't worry.
(Flashback) [12:50] Katsura
Shinsaku!
(Flashback) [12:52] Takasugi
What's the matter, Katsura?
(Flashback) [12:54] Katsura
Master Shoin has been...
(Flashback) [12:56] Takasugi
What?
(Flashback) [12:57] Katsura
Master Shoin has been executed!
(Flashback) [13:03] Takasugi
That can't be...
(Flashback) [13:10] Takasugi
There must be some mistake.
(Flashback) [13:15] Takasugi
Right, Katsura?
(Flashback) [13:20] Katsura
This just arrived today.
(Flashback) [13:23] Katsura
It's the last thing he wrote.
(Flashback) [13:28] Takasugi
"Even if my life ends on the Musashi plain,
(Flashback) [13:33] Takasugi
the Japanese spirit will still remain."
(Flashback) [13:38] Katsura
It's his writing.
(Flashback) [13:42] Takasugi
It can't be...
(Flashback) [13:45] Takasugi
It can't be!
[14:31] Mugensai
Do you like it?
[14:36] Takasugi
This thing is a tool for attacking
other countries, right?
[14:38] Takasugi
Like hell I'd like it!
[14:43] Mugensai
Takasugi Shinsaku,
[14:45] Mugensai
you must be aware of the
position this country is in.
[14:49] Mugensai
You should just learn to accept it.
[14:54] Mugensai
Japan's military strength
during the Tokugawa period
[14:57] Mugensai
was practically nothing in
the face of other countries.
[15:00] Mugensai
Thus, we had unfair treaties thrust upon us,
[15:03] Mugensai
and dark clouds hung over
this country's future.
[15:08] Mugensai
That is why I have enforced such
cruel manual labor on the people
[15:11] Mugensai
and strengthened our
military forces this much.
[15:14] Mugensai
Power is necessary to
confront other countries.
[15:19] Mugensai
I will ask you again, Takasugi Shinsaku.
[15:23] Mugensai
Will you join me?
[15:25] Mugensai
I'd like you to lend me your strength.
[15:28] Mugensai
We can make an interesting world together.
[15:33] Takasugi
An interesting world?
[15:35] Mugensai
That's right.
[15:36] Mugensai
If we work together, an even
greater power will be born.
[15:40] Takasugi
Mugensai, what exactly is
your idea of "interesting"?
[15:44] Mugensai
Power!
[15:46] Mugensai
My interesting world is a strong Japan
that does not yield to any threat.
[15:54] Mugensai
I won't balk from that purpose,
even if it means sacrificing the people.
[15:57] Mugensai
It is a small sacrifice for the
greater good, don't you think?
[16:01] Takasugi
No, I don't!
[16:02] Takasugi
Master Shoin also had a saying!
[16:05] Takasugi
"As the mountain is made lush by the trees,
a country is made prosperous by its people!"
[16:09] Takasugi
A country is made by its people!
[16:11] Takasugi
There's nothing interesting about a country
that's strong, but full of suffering people!
[16:19] Mugensai
What an idealistic argument.
[16:30] Okita
Aww, look. How cute!
[16:36] Kondo
We should probably rest here for today.
[16:44] Kasumi
The village is just ahead.
[16:47] Yoshinobu
Susumu, you should rest a bit, too.
[16:49] Yamazaki
No, I'll go collect our water for tomorrow.
[16:53] Yamazaki
Kasumi, take care of Yoshinobu-sama.
[16:56] Kasumi
Will do!
[17:20] Kondo
Yamazaki!
[17:25] Yamazaki
Kondo-san... I never thought
I would run into you here.
[17:30] Kondo
Tell me, Yamazaki, is
Yoshinobu-sama still alive?
[17:36] Yamazaki
Has Mugensai not said anything
to the Shinsengumi about it?
[17:53] Okita
Huh? Yamazaki?
[17:56] Okita
It was my understanding
that Kondo-san killed you.
[18:01] Okita
What should I do?
[18:03] Okita
Should I kill him?
[18:10] Kondo
Stand down, Soji.
[18:15] Kondo
I am the one at fault for letting
him get away when he left the unit.
[18:20] Kondo
I'll do it.
[18:21] Okita
Understood.
[18:27] Kondo
Yamazaki Susumu, you will be punished for
the sin of violating the code of ethics!
[18:57] Yamazaki
I can't lose here.
[18:59] Yamazaki
I have someone I must protect!
[19:25] Kondo
Yamazaki, take care of Yoshinobu-sama.
[19:36] Yamazaki
He did something like this before...
[20:02] Yamazaki
Kondo-san let me live that time, as well.
[20:15] Kondo
He won't survive this time.
Not with such a strong current.
[20:20] Okita
I guess not.
[20:33] Okita
What's that?!
[20:35] Kondo
That's the direction of
the village Seimei is in!
[20:48] Okita
Someone beat us here.
[20:50] Saito
Who would do this?
[21:01] Old Man
P-Please, I'm begging you!
Please, just spare me!
SIGN Suspect Description
[21:15] Okita
Are you the one who gave us the information?
[21:18] Old Man
Are you with the shogunate?
[21:21] Kondo
Tell us what happened here.
[21:24] Old Man
B-Bandits suddenly showed
up and attacked the village.
[21:29] Saito
What happened to this man?
[21:31] Old Man
He was taken away by the bandits.
[21:34] Kondo
What?
[21:35] Old Man
They said the shogunate is looking for him,
so they should make a fortune off of him.
[21:45] Takasugi
Hey, when are you going to land this thing?
[21:48] Mugensai
We seem to have arrived.
[21:52] Takasugi
What?
[21:53] Takasugi
Has there always been an island in Lake Biwa?
[21:57] Mugensai
It is an island I made to
imprison rebels and criminals.
[22:02] Takasugi
You made it?
[22:13] Mugensai
Have a good look at Hell,
[22:17] Mugensai
Takasugi-kun.
[23:50] Takasugi
I am a snake.
[23:52] Takasugi
I will be a snake. I will be a snake.
[23:54] Katsura
What's the matter, Shinsaku?
[23:56] Katsura
Did you fall or hit your head or something?
[23:56] Takasugi
Next time on episode 10 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN Rescue Seimei!
Escape from Prison Gate Island!
[23:59] Takasugi
"Rescue Seimei! Escape from Prison Gate Island!"
[23:59] Katsura
Hey, are you listening?
[24:01] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

What's that?!
(Flashback) [01:09] Kondo
That's the direction of
the village Seimei is in!
[01:12] Saito
By the time we finally arrived there,
[01:15] Saito
Seimei had already been captured by bandits.
(Flashback) [01:18] Kondo
Soji, Saito, after them.
(Flashback) [01:20] Kondo
Cut down anyone who gets in your way.
SIGN Suspect Description
[01:31] Village Girl
Thank you so much!
[01:34] Okita
If you hurry, you should be able to
make it down the mountain by morning.
[01:38] Kondo
Soji!
[01:40] Okita
Well, then, take care.
[01:47] Okita
He's been asleep this whole time?
[01:50] Kondo
Yes, almost like a bear
hibernating in a cave.
[01:54] Saito
I don't understand.
How valuable can this man be?
[01:59] Okita
The sky is looking rather dubious,
[02:01] Okita
and carrying this out of
here will be a big job.
[02:04] Kondo
Don't worry about that. Look up there.
SIGN Rescue Seimei!
Escape from Prison Gate Island!
[03:56] Okita
Amazing, simply amazing!
[03:59] Okita
Come on, Saito-san, you should look, too.
[04:02] Kondo
This is my first time on one of these.
I must say, it's rather unstable.
[04:06] Susanoo Soldier A
Usually it's much smoother than
this, but the wind is strong today.
[04:14] Kondo
Is our cargo all right like that?
[04:16] Susanoo Soldier A
Yes. Mugensai-sama had it specially made
[04:18] Susanoo Soldier A
so that it would be able
to remain intact if it falls.
[04:22] Kondo
I see...
[04:24] Kondo
Which means this person
must be incredibly important.
[04:28] Okita
Come on, come on, you gotta see this!
The houses look like little specks.
[04:34] Okita
Saito-san?
[04:37] Okita
Oh, I get it. You're seasick.
[04:40] Saito
Shut up!
[04:51] Kondo
Hey! We're being swept away by the wind!
[04:54] Susanoo Soldier A
We're wandering pretty far east!
[04:57] Okita
Can't we land somewhere?
[04:59] Susanoo Soldier A
No way! We're right in
the middle of Lake Biwa!
[05:07] Susanoo Soldier A
The motor has been hit!
[05:10] Kondo
What?!
[05:10] Okita
Kondo-san, there's fire!
[05:13] Susanoo Soldier A
This is bad! Fire is extremely bad!
[05:22] Mugensai
It made a forced landing?
[05:23] Susanoo Soldier B
Yes. After catching fire in the air, it
crashed on Prison Gate Island in Lake Biwa.
[05:29] Mugensai
Losing one or two prototypes
doesn't concern me,
[05:33] Mugensai
but if anything should happen to Seimei...
[05:37] Mugensai
Send Hijikata.
[05:39] Susanoo Soldier B
Yes, sir!
[05:53] Kondo
I, Kondo Isami, along with the Shinsengumi,
[05:56] Kondo
will serve you, Mugensai-sama!
[06:02] Okita
Kondo-san...
[06:04] Okita
Kondo-san!
[06:08] Okita
Kondo-san...
[06:10] Kondo
Soji?
[06:12] Okita
Thank goodness. You had me worried.
[06:16] Kondo
What is...
[06:22] Kondo
What happened to Seimei?!
[06:24] Okita
By the time Saito-san and I woke up,
he had already been carried off.
[06:29] Kondo
Carried off? By who?!
[06:33] Kondo
Where are we, anyway?
[06:37] Saito
The middle of Lake Biwa...
[06:40] Saito
Prison Gate Island.
[06:42] Kondo
The island where criminals and people who
oppose Mugensai-sama are imprisoned.
[06:47] Okita
They seem to be the ones
who carried off our cargo.
[06:50] Saito
Not just our cargo.
[06:53] Kondo
My sword!
[06:55] Kondo
They even took our warrior souls...
[06:58] Saito
It would have been better
had they just killed us.
[07:01] Kondo
Don't be ridiculous!
[07:03] Okita
But why would the criminals
have left us alive?
[07:12] Saito
There's twenty... no, thirty of them.
[07:15] Okita
That's not good.
[07:17] Mysterious Man
Hey!
[07:19] Mysterious Man
This way!
[07:20] Mysterious Man
Come on, quick!
[07:22] Kondo
Who are you?
[07:23] Mysterious Man
That's not important!
[07:28] Prisoners
Kill them, kill them!
[07:29] Prisoners
We're human hunting! Human hunting!
[07:32] Prisoner A
Where'd they go?!
[07:33] Prisoner B
Find them!
[07:37] Mysterious Man
Those guys enjoy hunting anyone
new who shows up on the island.
[07:42] Saito
So that's why they stole our swords.
[07:45] Kondo
Who are you, anyway?
[07:47] Mysterious Man
Just hang on.
[07:49] Mysterious Man
Prisoners who didn't want to be a part of
the group made their own place to live.
[07:54] Kondo
Then who's in charge here?
[07:57] Mysterious Man
He's right there.
[08:02] Saito
So, who are you?
[08:07] Mysterious Man
Let's see...
[08:09] Mysterious Man
You can call me Black Snake.
[08:12] Saito
Black Snake?
[08:13] Mysterious Man
Yes, Black Snake.
[08:17] Mysterious Man
I'll only say it one more
time. I'm Black Sn—
[08:19] Okita
Yoink!
[08:22] Okita
I knew I'd heard your voice somewhere before.
[08:26] Kondo
Why, you...
[08:28] Kondo
What're you trying to pull?!
[08:29] Kondo
Enough fooling around!
[08:31] Takasugi
I went to the trouble of hiding my face
[08:33] Takasugi
because I figured there'd be trouble.
[08:35] Okita
Oh, I get it now.
[08:37] Okita
You're on this island because
you got beaten by Hijikata-san.
[08:42] Takasugi
I decided to save you guys
since I wouldn't get any sleep
[08:45] Takasugi
if I stood by and watched them kill you.
[08:46] Takasugi
Is that how you talk to the
person who saved your lives?
[08:49] Kondo
I'm willing to thank you for that,
[08:52] Kondo
but rescuer or not, you're still our enemy.
[08:55] Takasugi
Even dogs are grateful
for at least three days.
[08:59] Kondo
Dogs?
[09:00] Takasugi
You're like dogs that
belong to Mugensai, right?
[09:06] Kondo
I won't allow you to mock
the Shinsengumi, Takasugi!
[09:10] Takasugi
I got it, I got it!
[09:12] Takasugi
Let's call a truce, okay?
[09:16] Kondo
Let's go.
[09:19] Okita
What about Takasugi?
[09:20] Kondo
We'll deal with him later.
[09:22] Kondo
We have more important things to do now.
[09:24] Takasugi
Oh? Noble orders from Mugensai-sama?
[09:28] Kondo
You don't need to know anything.
[09:35] Takasugi
Looks like this is gonna be interesting.
[09:48] Hyo
Off you go.
[09:53] Hyo
We should be able to get word
to Yoshinobu-sama this way.
[09:57] Mikado
Thank you, Hyo.
[09:59] Hyo
But just who is this Seimei that Mugensai
is so desperately searching for?
[10:05] Mikado
Well...
[10:07] Mikado
There once were two brothers.
[10:12] Mikado
The older brother possessed
an unusual ability
[10:16] Mikado
that let him see what would
happen in the near future.
[10:20] Hyo
He could see the future?
[10:23] Mikado
Yes, and fearing his abilities,
[10:27] Mikado
those in power sought to kill the boy.
[10:30] Mikado
But this resulted in the
awakening of a new power.
[10:36] Mikado
The miraculous ability
to travel through time.
[10:41] Hyo
Travel through time?
[10:43] Mikado
The younger brother, taking pity
on his brother who was forced
[10:46] Mikado
to follow a path of hardship at a tender
age because of his unusual powers,
[10:51] Mikado
hid his brother and swore
to continue protecting him.
[10:57] Hyo
Does that mean...
[11:00] Mikado
It's just an old tale.
[11:13] Kondo
What are they doing?
[11:15] Prisoner A
Even!
[11:16] Prisoner B
No, odd!
[11:17] Dealer
Are you ready?
[11:18] Saito
I guess this is their gambling den.
[11:19] Dealer
Well, then...
[11:21] Dealer
It's three and five, even!
[11:22] Okita
Kondo-san, look.
[11:25] Dealer
Readying the next round.
[11:27] Kondo
That mask...
[11:27] Dealer
Are you ready to place your bets?
[11:29] Kondo
That's one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Ishikawa Goemon!
[11:32] Dealer
It's three and one, even!
[11:33] Saito
The great thief?
[11:35] Dealer
Now, will it be even or odd?
[11:36] Kondo
I heard that he had been sent to Prison
Gate Island for defying Mugensai-sama.
[11:40] Dealer
Revealing it now!
[11:41] Okita
There is that, but I meant behind him.
[11:43] Dealer
Snake eyes, even!
[11:45] Prisoners
All it's been is even!
[11:46] Kondo
It's Seimei!
[11:48] Prisoners
Come on! It's only been
ones, threes, and fives!
[11:48] Takasugi
Huh, so he's in there.
[11:51] Okita
Takasugi!
[11:53] Takasugi
Whoa, there. Better not be
too loud now or they'll find us.
[11:54] Prisoners
Punish him!
[11:58] Dealer
T-Take it easy!
[12:00] Prisoner C
You tried to swindle us.
[12:02] Dealer
Forgive me, please!
[12:05] Dealer
G-Goemon-sama!
[12:07] Dealer
Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!
[12:10] Goemon
Even if all the sands
on the beach are gone,
[12:13] Goemon
the seeds of punishment won't
run out from the world.
[12:17] Goemon
The penalty for those who try to cheat in
this gambling den is boiling in an iron pot.
[12:29] Takasugi
That's just plain awful...
[12:32] Kondo
Soji, Saito, head for the casket.
[12:36] Kondo
Go around from behind.
[12:37] Saito
Got it.
[12:39] Prisoner A
Coming all this way saves us
from having to go find ya!
[12:44] Prisoner B
Now, let's get back to hunting humans.
[12:50] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, you wait here.
[12:53] Yoshinobu
No, I'm coming with you.
[12:55] Yoshinobu
I cannot allow the information
that Hyo gave us to go to waste.
[12:59] Yamazaki
You mustn't!
[13:00] Yamazaki
This is an island of prisoners!
Who knows what could happen?
[13:03] Yoshinobu
All the more reason.
[13:05] Yoshinobu
It's too dangerous for
you to go alone, Susumu.
[13:10] Kasumi
Not to worry!
[13:12] Kasumi
I, Kasumi, will protect him!
[13:19] Goemon
My, what a wonderful sight this is.
[13:23] Goemon
A spring day is worth nothing
compared to a thousand gold coins.
[13:27] Goemon
The sight of Mugensai's underlings
kneeling silently before me
[13:32] Goemon
is worth ten thousand gold coins!
[13:35] Takasugi
I told you, I'm not his underling!
[13:38] Prisoner A
Shut up!
[13:39] Takasugi
Ouch!
[13:40] Kondo
Why do you despise the lord
of the castle so much?
[13:44] Goemon
I tried to steal the chronometer
that he possesses.
[13:49] Goemon
But I was found too soon and ended up here.
[13:52] Goemon
It's a given that I'd hold
a grudge, don't you think?
[13:56] Takasugi
So it's the unjustified
resentment of a petty thief.
[13:59] Goemon
Excuse me?
[14:00] Takasugi
The Ishikawa Goemon that I'm familiar
with was a chivalrous thief
[14:04] Takasugi
who shared the wealth he stole from
the rich with the dispossessed.
[14:08] Prisoner A
I told you to shut up!
[14:16] Goemon
You have some nerve, saying
that in your current position.
[14:19] Prisoner C
He's gonna get killed.
[14:23] Takasugi
One who boils his fellow prisoners alive
[14:26] Takasugi
is a disgrace to chivalrous thieves!
[14:28] Takasugi
Are you sure you're really Goemon,
and not Rokuemon or something?
[14:32] Takasugi
Or are you even less than that,
like "San'emon," perhaps?
[14:36] Goemon
Why, you...
[14:38] Takasugi
Not to mention the childish gambling.
[14:41] Takasugi
This is supposed to be a lawless island.
[14:43] Takasugi
Making large and small bets
is nothing but boring!
[14:47] Takasugi
A real man should bet the only life he has!
[14:52] Goemon
Oh? You don't say?
[14:54] Goemon
Are you willing to bet your
life in a game of dice, then?
[14:58] Takasugi
Yeah! I accept your challenge!
[15:01] Takasugi
But just betting my life alone
isn't interesting enough.
[15:05] Takasugi
I'll bet the lives of all four of us here!
[15:08] Okita
Huh?!
[15:09] Saito
What the hell are you doing?
[15:12] Takasugi
In exchange, if I win...
[15:15] Takasugi
You'll give me that casket.
[15:19] Goemon
Oh?
[15:22] Katsura
Thanks for your help, Sakamoto-kun.
[15:25] Katsura
Not just in arranging a boat, but
in coming along with me, as well.
[15:29] Ryoma
You can just pay me back later.
[15:34] Izo
Ryoma!
[15:35] Ryoma
What is it, Izo?
[15:37] Izo
Over there.
[15:49] Goemon
If the combined value of the dice can be
divided in half, that means it's even.
[15:53] Goemon
If it can't be divided in half, it's odd.
[15:55] Goemon
It's a very simple gamble on
whether or not it's even or odd.
[15:59] Takasugi
Sounds good.
[16:00] Goemon
The first person to correctly
guess three times wins.
[16:04] Goemon
Got it?
[16:05] Takasugi
Stop mumbling already. Let's just get started.
[16:11] Goemon
You lot can enjoy this in place of the
human hunting you didn't get to do!
[16:16] Prisoners
Yeah!
[16:18] Prisoners
We're looking forward to this!
[16:20] Prisoners
Just do it already!
[16:22] Okita
Well, I wonder how this is going to play out.
[16:25] Kondo
I can't believe we've been so eloquently
driven into a corner like this...
[16:35] Goemon
Will you check the dice?
[16:38] Takasugi
Yes.
[16:39] Goemon
Sasori!
[16:40] Female Prisoner A
Right.
[16:45] Takasugi
Looks fine, but it feels kind of weird.
[16:51] Goemon
Of course it does.
[16:52] Goemon
It was made from the bones of prisoners here.
[16:58] Female Prisoner A
Now then, we will begin.
[17:04] Female Prisoner A
Is it even or odd?
[17:07] Goemon
Even.
[17:09] Takasugi
Odd!
[17:12] Female Prisoner A
Two and six, even!
[17:16] Okita
Man, he's losing already...
[17:20] Female Prisoner A
On to the next round.
[17:24] Female Prisoner A
Is it even or odd?
[17:26] Goemon
Odd.
[17:27] Takasugi
Even!
[17:30] Female Prisoner A
Snake eyes, even!
[17:32] Takasugi
All right!
[17:34] Kondo
Yes!
[17:35] Okita
Hopefully he can keep this up.
[17:50] Yoshinobu
Someone else is here?
[17:52] Yamazaki
We should hurry.
[17:56] Female Prisoner A
Five and six, odd!
[17:59] Prisoners
You're amazing, Goemon-sama!
[18:01] Okita
They've both won twice now.
[18:05] Kondo
The next round will determine who wins.
[18:07] Goemon
The prisoners have certainly
been enjoying the game,
[18:10] Goemon
but the final match will be...
[18:18] Female Prisoner A
Next round.
[18:20] Female Prisoner A
Is it even or odd?
[18:29] Female Prisoner A
Is it odd or even?
[18:34] Takasugi
Wait!
[18:36] Goemon
Now you want to plead for your life?
[18:38] Goemon
That's rather unseemly.
[18:40] Takasugi
You're the one who's unseemly!
[18:47] Takasugi
There was quite an attractive
mouse hiding under there.
[18:50] Okita
That's...
[18:52] Kondo
What is the meaning of this?
[18:56] Takasugi
Look!
[18:56] Takasugi
By hiding underneath the tatami,
[18:59] Takasugi
she could see the dice
through the white cloth.
[19:03] Takasugi
And then, she could turn the dice with
a needle to change it as she liked!
[19:09] Takasugi
She can easily control whether
Goemon wins or loses.
[19:15] Okita
Then all the matches so far...
[19:18] Kondo
...have all been according to Goemon's plan.
[19:23] Takasugi
A thin needle wouldn't even leave a trace.
[19:26] Takasugi
It's a common trick!
[19:32] Goemon
Still think you can run your mouth, do you?
[19:38] Takasugi
Huh?
[19:42] Takasugi
Yeah, I actually think I can.
[19:47] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[19:49] Ryoma
I see you're still alive, Takasugi-san.
[19:52] Goemon
When did you bastards get here?
[19:56] Kondo
Katsura Kogoro?
[19:58] Saito
Kondo-san, we should escape, too.
[20:02] Goemon
What are you doing?!
[20:04] Goemon
There's more human hunting to do!
[20:06] Goemon
Go enjoy yourselves!
[20:10] Prisoner B
Let's get them!
[20:14] Hijikata
Human hunting?
[20:16] Prisoner
Who are you?
[20:18] Hijikata
Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi.
[20:27] Hijikata
You're the ones being hunted.
[20:29] Kondo
Toshi!
[20:30] Okita
You came for us after all, Hijikata-san.
[20:34] Hijikata
Where's Seimei?
[20:35] Kondo
Over there.
[20:39] Goemon
Damn it! I'm not letting you get that casket!
[20:44] Yamazaki
I won't let you have Seimei.
[20:46] Goemon
Silence! That thing belongs to me!
[20:50] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, Kasumi, now's your chance.
[20:52] Kasumi
Leave it to us!
[20:56] Kondo
Yoshinobu-sama?!
[20:59] Yoshinobu
Kondo-kun?
[21:01] Goemon
Take that!
[21:04] Yamazaki
Why, you...
[21:06] Goemon
I will kill this man here rather than
see him taken away by the likes of you!
[21:13] Goemon
I can just see Mugensai's irritated face now!
[21:21] Goemon
What?!
[21:27] Goemon
Is this guy even human? He's floating!
[21:36] Takasugi
I'm only sorry it's not a boiling
pot, you cheating bastard.
[21:45] Katsura
Shinsaku, are you okay?
[21:47] Takasugi
What is this?
[22:08] Katsura
This is the same light as before...
[23:51] Takasugi
Did you know?
[23:52] Takasugi
When you're bathed in Seimei's light, you
become able to sense the changes in time!
[23:56] Takasugi
Where'd you learn that?
[23:56] Takasugi
Next time on episode 11 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN Beloved Old School, Takasugi's Tears!
[23:59] Takasugi
"Beloved Old School, Takasugi's Tears!"
[24:01] Takasugi
We'll show you something
interesting next week, too!

[00:02] Takasugi
Prison Gate Island,
in the middle of Lake Biwa,
[00:05] Takasugi
is where criminals who oppose
the shogunate are imprisoned.
[00:08] Takasugi
I challenged one of the twelve
commanders, Ishikawa Goemon,
[00:12] Takasugi
to a game of dice for Seimei.
[00:15] Takasugi
But that bastard Goemon
attempted to swindle me,
[00:19] Takasugi
and when I exposed him,
he tried to kill Seimei.
[00:23] Katsura
When I arrived at that moment,
[00:27] Katsura
I watched as Goemon's sword was blown
away and Seimei began floating in midair.
[00:35] Takasugi
Yes, and then we were once
again enveloped by that light.
[00:47] Katsura
Over here, Shinsaku!
[00:49] Takasugi
Katsura!
SIGN Beloved Old School, Takasugi's Tears!
[02:38] Takasugi
Where am I?
[02:41] Takasugi
Wait, where's Katsura?
[02:44] Takasugi
Katsura!
[02:49] Takasugi
This place...
[02:51] Takasugi
These pine trees... It can't be!
[02:59] Takasugi
Hagi?
[03:01] Takasugi
Am I really back?
[03:10] Takasugi
It really is Hagi...
[03:21] Takasugi
Katsura!
[03:23] Katsura
Shinsaku?
[03:25] Takasugi
What're you just hanging
around eating noodles for?!
[03:28] Takasugi
And it even has tempura in it!
[03:31] Katsura
Calm down, Shinsaku.
[03:33] Katsura
When did you get back from Edo?
[03:36] Katsura
And what's with the odd clothing?
[03:43] Takasugi
Katsura...
[03:44] Katsura
Shinsaku, you...
[03:47] Takasugi
You're really young.
[03:47] Katsura
You've gotten older.
[03:52] Takasugi
Hey, Katsura, this might be a weird
question, but what year is it?
[03:56] Katsura
Huh? It's Ansei year 5 (1858), of course.
[03:59] Takasugi
Ansei year 5?
[04:01] Takasugi
Which means...
[04:03] Takasugi
You're still in your teens!
[04:05] Takasugi
So that's why your skin
is all smooth and supple.
[04:09] Katsura
Stop it! You're creeping me out!
[04:12] Takasugi
Hang on a sec. You said it
was Ansei year 5, right?
[04:15] Katsura
Yeah.
[04:16] Takasugi
Katsura! Come on!
[04:18] Katsura
Hey, what's gotten into you?!
[04:20] Katsura
I haven't eaten my shrimp yet!
[04:21] Katsura
Hey, my shrimp!
[04:35] Shoin
Takasugi-kun?
[04:38] Takasugi
Master...
[04:40] Takasugi
Master Shoin! It's been so long!
[04:43] Takasugi
I never dreamed that I would
get to see you again!
[04:47] Itou
What's the deal, Brother Takasugi?
[04:50] Kusaka
You're startling Master Shoin.
[04:52] Takasugi
Shunsuke! Kusaka!
[04:54] Takasugi
It's been forever since I saw you guys, too!
[04:56] Itou
You're making a pretty big deal out
of just getting back from Edo.
[05:01] Kusaka
But are such Western-style clothes
in fashion over there or something?
[05:06] Kusaka
You also seem weirdly older...
[05:08] Takasugi
Wh-What was that, you—
[05:10] Shoin
Come now, that's enough.
[05:17] Shoin
All humans are born with a
certain amount of pure gold.
[05:22] Shoin
There is no difference between our pure
gold and the pure gold of a saint.
[05:28] Shoin
Takasugi-kun, you seem to have gone
through a lot while you were away,
[05:32] Shoin
but the pure gold within your heart is
shining even brighter because of it.
[05:38] Takasugi
Thank you!
[05:40] Shoin
It's been so long since all the
students have been together.
[05:43] Shoin
Why don't we spend the rest
of the day in discussion?
[05:47] Students
Excellent. I was hoping for that.
[05:48] Katsura
Shinsaku, didn't you have something you
wanted to discuss with Master Shoin?
[05:49] Students
Let's continue our topic from last time.
[05:51] Students
I'll have my father bring some
pickles over since Takasugi's back.
[05:55] Takasugi
It's fine. It can wait.
SIGN Shoka Sonjuku
[06:08] Takasugi
I'd forgotten...
[06:11] Takasugi
about days like this.
[06:15] Takasugi
I just want to forget about everything
for now and enjoy this time I have.
[06:26] Shoin
Well, it's time for me to be going.
[06:31] Takasugi
Where are you going, Master?
[06:33] Kusaka
Hey. Noyama Prison.
[06:36] Takasugi
Noyama Prison?
[06:37] Takasugi
Isn't that where Master was
imprisoned a long time ago?
[06:40] Takasugi
Why is he going there?
[06:42] Kusaka
You're probably not aware
since you were in Edo,
[06:45] Kusaka
but lately, he's often been visiting
with a woman who's imprisoned there.
[06:49] Takasugi
A woman?
[06:50] Kusaka
Her name is Takasu Hisako, and she's
in prison for the crime of adultery.
[06:56] Itou
However, she herself claims that
she's been falsely accused.
[07:01] Kusaka
Master Shoin seems to believe her, as well.
[07:04] Kusaka
He continues to visit her in hopes
that he can be of some assistance.
[07:17] Katsura
What is it?
[07:18] Takasugi
Oh... It's nothing.
[07:25] Shoin
So, although Takasugi
returned from Edo wearing
[07:27] Shoin
the odd Western-style clothing
that's in fashion there,
[07:30] Shoin
he himself seems to remain unchanged.
[07:33] Shoin
Nothing could please me more than that.
[07:38] Hisako
You've been talking quite
a lot about Takasugi-kun.
[07:42] Hisako
You seem very fond of him.
[07:44] Shoin
Oh, pardon my rudeness.
[07:47] Hisako
Not at all. Seeing your cheerful expression
[07:50] Hisako
is the greatest comfort to me right now.
[07:53] Shoin
There's no need to say such things.
[07:56] Shoin
Don't worry. You'll be getting
out of here soon, as well.
[08:04] Shoin
You said that all humans are born equal.
[08:09] Shoin
There will surely come a time when Japan...
[08:12] Shoin
no, the whole world will need such ambition.
[08:16] Hisako
You think so?
[08:19] Shoin
I do!
[08:19] Shoin
I felt the burning passion in your words,
[08:23] Shoin
and it is within me even now.
[08:31] Hisako
My, you're right. You do feel warm.
[08:42] Itou
Nothing's biting.
[08:45] Kusaka
And just who suggested that we should go
[08:48] Kusaka
and get dinner before
Master Shoin gets back?
[08:50] Shoin
There is no success for
a person without a dream.
[08:54] Shoin
If you abandon your dream
of catching greater things,
[08:56] Shoin
you will never catch anything at all.
[09:00] Kusaka
Welcome back, Master.
[09:03] Shoin
Now, hand me one.
[09:07] Itou
Here you go!
[09:09] Kusaka
The future of Japan?
[09:12] Shoin
That's right.
[09:13] Shoin
Japan needs to be more receptive to new
technologies and ideas from other countries.
[09:18] Shoin
However, the current shogunate is only
proceeding with conventional values.
[09:23] Kusaka
But Master, humans
unconsciously seek stability.
[09:28] Kusaka
Isn't it better that some
things remain unchanged?
[09:31] Shoin
That is certainly one way of thinking. But...
[09:43] Shoin
You can get unexpected results just
by changing things, even slightly.
[09:55] Shoin
Just like this.
[09:59] Shoin
Surely, in the near future,
[10:02] Shoin
all differences in status will vanish,
[10:04] Shoin
and men and women will all be equal.
[10:08] Shoin
And then humans will truly be
even more free and enriched.
[10:13] Shoin
I would like to see such a
world before my time passes.
[10:18] Takasugi
Master, that's—
[10:24] Shoin
Takasugi-kun,
[10:26] Shoin
there are no creatures in
this world that do not die.
[10:29] Shoin
You and I will both die one day.
[10:35] Shoin
Which is why I wish to accomplish as much
as I can in the time that I have now.
[10:41] Shoin
That is how I feel.
[10:49] Itou
Master!
[10:51] Itou
You've got another one!
[10:52] Itou
Grab the rod, quickly!
[10:54] Shoin
Oh, right.
[10:55] Shoin
There we go!
[10:57] Shoin
It's a big one!
[11:02] Katsura
I don't mind if you stay with me,
[11:04] Katsura
but is there a reason why you
don't want to stay at your place?
[11:07] Takasugi
There's not really a reason...
[11:13] Takasugi
Hey, Katsura.
[11:17] Takasugi
This is hypothetical, but hear me out, okay?
[11:21] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[11:23] Katsura
Where are you?!
[11:44] Katsura
What is this?
[11:55] Seimei
That was a close one.
[11:57] Katsura
You are...
[11:58] Seimei
This will be our first and last chance.
[12:01] Katsura
Huh?
[12:02] Seimei
I was trying to save you, but
I used a little too much power.
[12:06] Katsura
What are you talking about?!
[12:08] Seimei
I mean this is our first and last chance
to prevent Mugensai from being born.
[12:12] Katsura
Huh? What?!
[12:25] Katsura
Master Shoin is executed for the
crime of opposing the shogunate?
[12:29] Takasugi
That's right.
[12:30] Katsura
I'd like to say it's just an intriguing joke,
[12:35] Katsura
but knowing Master Shoin,
it's surprisingly probable.
[12:38] Takasugi
What do you think I should do
to keep that from happening?
[12:41] Katsura
Shinsaku, you're acting strange.
Did something happen in Edo?
[12:45] Takasugi
That's not important!
[12:47] Takasugi
Do you have any ideas or not?
[12:50] Katsura
Good grief...
[12:51] Katsura
You said this was just hypothetical, right?
[12:54] Katsura
Then why don't you just
pray to the gods for help?
[12:57] Takasugi
Pray to the gods?
[12:59] Katsura
For example, you could give him something
to serve as a protective charm.
[13:03] Takasugi
A protective charm, huh?
[13:10] Takasugi
Not again...
[13:16] Katsura
You got a netsuke? And you
picked a pretty cute cat, too.
[13:21] Takasugi
It's a tiger.
[13:21] Katsura
Huh?
[13:22] Takasugi
Master Shoin was born in the year of
the tiger, so I got a tiger netsuke.
[13:28] Katsura
It's a cat, isn't it?
[13:30] Takasugi
No, it's a tiger.
[13:33] Katsura
Looks like a cat to me.
[13:35] Takasugi
Tiger...
[13:36] Takasugi
No, it's a cat. They didn't have a tiger.
[13:41] Takasugi
Not again!
[13:43] Takasugi
Katsura, take care of this for me.
[13:45] Katsura
What's gotten into you?
[13:47] Takasugi
I'm...
[13:49] Katsura
What the hell?
[13:50] Katsura
Why are you lighting up like that?
[13:53] Katsura
Hey, Shinsaku?!
[13:56] Katsura
Huh?
[14:00] Katsura
What's going on?
[14:03] Takasugi
Damn it! I'm back here again.
[14:06] Takasugi
Now where am I going?
[14:14] Takasugi
Where am I?
[14:18] Takasugi
Hey, you there.
[14:20] Fish Seller
Yes, sir! I've got some fresh saury in today.
[14:23] Takasugi
I'm not interested in fish! Where are we?
[14:26] Fish Seller
Are you sleepwalking or something?
[14:28] Fish Seller
You're clearly in the
world-famous Nihonbashi!
[14:31] Takasugi
Nihonbashi... So I'm in Edo?
[14:34] Takasugi
What year is it right now?
[14:36] Fish Seller
Eh? It's Ansei year 6...
[14:39] Takasugi
You said you were selling saury?
[14:42] Takasugi
That means it's fall...
[14:44] Takasugi
Hey, which way is it to Tenmacho Prison?!
[14:47] Fish Seller
Tenmacho is...
[14:50] Takasugi
Please, let me make it in time!
[14:58] Takasugi
No choice, then.
[15:17] Takasugi
No way...
[15:29] Takasugi
Master...
[15:32] Takasugi
The only ones with swords are
[15:34] Takasugi
the executioner and the two
samurai guards keeping watch...
[15:38] Takasugi
I can take them.
[15:40] Takasugi
No, wait...
[15:42] Takasugi
Can I change the past?
[15:44] Takasugi
With my own hands?
[15:46] Takasugi
That would make me just like...
[15:55] Takasugi
No, I can't!
[15:58] Takasugi
I can't just stand by
and watch them kill him!
[16:01] Takasugi
First, I'll take out the executioner.
[16:03] Takasugi
Then, I'll take out the samurai guards.
[16:15] Takasugi
No!
[16:16] Takasugi
I'm not Mugensai.
[16:19] Takasugi
Changing the past and rewriting
history to suit my own purposes...
[16:24] Takasugi
I wouldn't...
[16:28] Takasugi
Damn it!
[16:42] Takasugi
Master...
[16:52] Takasugi
There's no such thing as
a correct past, anyway!
[16:55] Guard A
H-Hey!
[16:56] Guard B
Who are you?
[16:57] Takasugi
Outta my way!
[17:02] Takasugi
Master Shoin!
[17:16] Takasugi
That's...
[17:17] Policeman A
Are you with the Choshu?
[17:21] Policeman B
Why, you—
[17:23] Shoin
Could you be...
[17:26] Guard A
Kill her!
[17:27] Guard B
She's a traitor!
[17:30] Guard D
Criminals!
[17:31] Guard C
After them! After them!
[17:34] Shoin
Hisako-san!
[17:40] Hisako
M-Ma... ster...
[17:48] Hisako
Take... this...
[17:52] Shoin
Hisako-san...
[17:55] Guard A
She startled me.
[17:57] Guard B
Where did she come from?
[18:05] Guard C
Hey, don't stand! Kneel back down!
[18:07] Guard A
Are you listening?!
[18:10] Shoin
You killed... my...
[18:14] Shoin
My hope...
[18:25] Guard A
Wh-What the...
[18:27] Takasugi
Master!
[18:29] Shoin
Do not worry about the
hardship after death...
[18:53] Hisako
Master... You did that for me?
[19:00] Shoin
Takasugi-kun.
[19:02] Shoin
I am going to make my ideal Japan.
[19:06] Shoin
And I will do whatever it
takes to accomplish this.
[19:13] Takasugi
You can't...
[19:14] Takasugi
You mustn't use that watch, Master Shoin!
[19:17] Shoin
Yoshida Shoin?
[19:20] Shoin
I hereby cast aside that name.
[19:24] Shoin
Henceforth, I will be the infinite
presence that wanders throughout
[19:28] Shoin
the eternity of time, purifying it.
[19:30] Shoin
I will take the name Mugensai.
[19:34] Takasugi
You can't mean...
[19:38] Takasugi
You're lying!
[19:40] Takasugi
You're not Mugensai! You're my master!
[19:43] Shoin
Takasugi-kun, come along.
[19:48] Shoin
Join me.
[19:51] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[19:54] Takasugi
Katsura? Is that you?
[19:57] Seimei
Looks like we missed our last chance.
[20:01] Shoin
Perfect timing.
[20:03] Shoin
His powers are necessary to
make my ideals a reality.
[20:10] Katsura
What?
[20:13] Takasugi
Seimei! Hey, are you okay?
[20:17] Seimei
This is the last of my power...
[20:20] Seimei
The rest is up to you.
[20:34] Takasugi
Master Shoin... was Mugensai all along.
[20:39] Katsura
I heard that, too, but...
[20:43] Katsura
I can't believe it's true!
[20:46] Takasugi
Katsura...
[20:53] Katsura
This is...
[20:54] Takasugi
Hey, look over there.
[20:57] Katsura
Susanoo Castle...
[20:58] Katsura
Which means we're back in
the previous time period.
[21:02] Takasugi
I don't even know where the
previous time period is anymore.
[21:06] Mugensai
Indeed.
[21:09] Mugensai
The whole of time is nothing but an illusion.
[21:12] Mugensai
It looks like a mere flow to
those who do not have ambition.
[21:18] Mugensai
But I believe I taught you this once.
[21:22] Mugensai
If you write one letter a day, in a
year you will have gained 360 letters,
[21:27] Mugensai
but if you neglect it for even one night,
[21:31] Mugensai
you lose 36,000 hours over a hundred years.
[21:34] Mugensai
If you neglect even the slightest thing,
[21:37] Mugensai
it will accumulate and
turn into a great surge.
[21:40] Mugensai
The power to overcome time is small at first,
[21:44] Mugensai
but it can slowly build and change the world.
[21:50] Shoin
It has been a while...
[21:52] Shoin
Though I guess, to you,
it hasn't been quite so long.
[21:56] Mugensai
Katsura-kun and Takasugi-kun.
[22:15] Takasugi
Master Shoin...
[23:50] Takasugi
Master Shoin...
[23:53] Katsura
Shinsaku, I saw it in the flow of time.
[23:58] Katsura
Your...
[23:59] Takasugi

[00:07] Mugensai
Why?
[00:09] Mugensai
Seimei's powers were poured into it again...
[00:18] Mugensai
Why can I not travel through time?
[00:22] Hisako
Mugensai-sama.
[00:25] Hisako
Preparations for the airship squadron's
departure have been completed.
[00:29] Mugensai
With the cannons on my ships,
[00:32] Mugensai
the foreign nations will become a sea of fire.
[00:35] Mugensai
The tale of this great
undertaking will be passed on
[00:38] Mugensai
to future generations
by those who love Japan.
[00:42] Hisako
Yes, sir.
[00:44] Hisako
Why did you not put an end to that man?
[00:48] Mugensai
You must be referring to Takasugi Shinsaku.
[00:51] Mugensai
Anything he might try to
do now will be futile.
[00:55] Mugensai
There was no reason to bother killing him.
[00:57] Hisako
Then is it because you still haven't
given up on having him join you?
[01:05] Mugensai
Of course not.
SIGN Decisive Battle! Giant Castle Susanoo!
[02:44] Mikado
I see...
[02:46] Mikado
Now that he has Seimei, Mugensai will
ultimately be resorting to violent actions.
[02:51] Hyo
There was also something rather curious.
[02:55] Hyo
The black smoke that rose
up from the chronometer
[02:58] Hyo
almost seemed as if it was alive.
[03:00] Mikado
It makes sense. It isn't surprising that
the object has begun to have its own will.
[03:05] Hyo
The chronometer has a will?
[03:07] Mikado
We'll talk more on that later.
[03:09] Mikado
We need to send a letter to Yoshinobu.
[03:11] Hyo
As you wish, sir!
[03:14] Takasugi
Hey, wait just a second!
[03:16] Takasugi
You brought Tokugawa Yoshinobu
and the Shinsengumi into this?
[03:19] Yamazaki
I'm no longer with the Shinsengumi.
[03:21] Kasumi
And I, Kasumi, the Tokugawa
special agent, am also here!
[03:24] Takasugi
What is our enemy doing here?
[03:26] Katsura
Calm down, Shinsaku.
Mugensai is our enemy right now.
[03:31] Yamazaki
Yoshinobu-sama, perhaps these men really
haven't gotten over their Choshu grudges—
[03:35] Ryoma
That's enough already!
[03:36] Ryoma
This isn't the time to be going
on about Choshu or Tokugawa.
[03:42] Ryoma
So, is it true that you
know Mugensai's identity?
[03:47] Katsura
We don't want to believe it,
[03:49] Katsura
but Mugensai is our teacher,
Master Yoshida Shoin.
[03:56] Ryoma
What're you planning to do, Takasugi-san?
[03:59] Takasugi
Isn't it obvious?
[04:01] Takasugi
I'm going to bust into that
castle and settle things.
[04:03] Yoshinobu
That would not be advisable.
[04:05] Takasugi
Excuse me?
[04:06] Yoshinobu
Any unnecessary actions could
put the emperor's life at risk.
[04:10] Takasugi
The emperor?
[04:11] Katsura
What do you mean by that?
[04:13] Yoshinobu
The emperor is currently
confined to Susanoo Castle.
[04:17] Yoshinobu
If you fight in that castle, there's a
good chance he'll be caught up in it.
[04:22] Takasugi
Even so, we just need
to defeat Mugensai and—
[04:25] Ryoma
No, this isn't the time to be attacking.
[04:28] Takasugi
What?
[04:29] Ryoma
They're most likely fully prepared
to fend off any kind of attack.
[04:34] Ryoma
It isn't a good idea to go
charging in there recklessly.
[04:39] Katsura
Hey, Shinsaku!
[04:41] Takasugi
It doesn't matter what anyone else
has to say. This is my fight.
[04:46] Katsura
Wait!
[04:55] Takasugi
Master...
[04:57] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[04:58] Takasugi
Katsura... Why did you follow me?
[05:02] Katsura
I'm coming, too.
[05:03] Takasugi
No. You stay behind and see
everything through to the end.
[05:09] Katsura
You're always doing this!
[05:11] Katsura
You need to stop forging
ahead on things alone!
[05:17] Katsura
Shinsaku, Master Shoin is an
important teacher to me, as well.
[05:22] Katsura
So don't do this alone.
[05:24] Katsura
This is our fight!
[05:29] Takasugi
You have a point.
[05:31] Takasugi
Let's put an end to this with our own hands!
[05:35] Katsura
Right.
[05:45] Ryoma
Hey, Izo.
[05:46] Izo
What is it?
[05:48] Ryoma
Do you think Takasugi-san is capable
of killing his own teacher?
[05:52] Izo
No idea. Are you concerned for him?
[06:02] Yamazaki
Zundamaru?
[06:04] Kondo
Mugensai-sama,
[06:05] Kondo
I humbly request that you allow
[06:08] Kondo
the Shinsengumi to join the
plan to attack the other nations.
[06:11] Mugensai
I believe I ordered you to guard this castle.
[06:16] Kondo
But...
[06:17] Mugensai
Takasugi Shinsaku will attack soon.
[06:21] Mugensai
If you manage to protect this castle
effectively from their attack,
[06:26] Mugensai
I will welcome the Shinsengumi
as regular soldiers.
[06:29] Kondo
We would be regular soldiers?
[06:31] Mugensai
I expect a great deal from you, Kondo.
[06:34] Kondo
Yes, sir.
[06:37] Hisako
Are you sure about this?
[06:40] Mugensai
I will be ushering in a new age.
[06:43] Mugensai
I have no need for relics of the
Tokugawa like the Shinsengumi.
[06:52] Susanoo Soldier
Who goes there?!
[06:53] Takasugi
Takasugi Shinsaku of Choshu!
[06:55] Katsura
And Katsura Kogoro of the same!
[06:58] Susanoo Soldier B
If you come any closer—
[07:03] Susanoo Soldier C
Why, you!
[07:04] Susanoo Soldier C
Don't falter! Get them!
[07:11] Mugensai
Your power was absorbed into the chronometer,
[07:14] Mugensai
so why is it not working?
[07:18] Mugensai
You must know why.
[07:22] Seimei
The chronometer only...
[07:35] Katsura
Charging straight in actually
gets the job done sometimes!
[07:39] Takasugi
Now we can just head straight to Mugensai.
[07:41] Susanoo Soldier
You will go no further!
[07:44] Takasugi
Or not, it looks like.
[07:50] Takasugi
What?
[07:54] Katsura
Sakamoto-kun!
[07:55] Takasugi
What are you doing here?
[07:58] Izo
We didn't come here to save you.
[08:01] Ryoma
We just came to get Seimei back.
[08:05] Takasugi
You just can't admit it.
[08:07] Susanoo Soldier D
Don't falter! It's just two more!
[08:09] Kasumi
It's not just two!
[08:17] Katsura
Lord Yoshinobu?
[08:19] Takasugi
Weren't you hesitating on this
because of the emperor?
[08:23] Yoshinobu
The danger this poses to the emperor has
not changed, but the situation at hand is...
[08:28] Hyo
...far more serious!
[08:30] Kasumi
Hyo!
[08:31] Takasugi
Who are you?
[08:37] Takasugi
I see. So he's finally doing it.
[08:40] Hyo
It appears he'll be attacking
the other countries this evening.
[08:43] Yoshinobu
And word from the emperor is that
we're out of time, and that we must
[08:48] Yoshinobu
put a stop to his violence at any cost.
[08:51] Takasugi
From the emperor?
[08:57] Yoshinobu
We will head straight for the emperor.
[09:01] Ryoma
And we'll go save Seimei!
[09:03] Izo
Right.
[09:05] Hyo
I almost forgot!
[09:07] Hyo
He also said that the chronometer might
be starting to have its own will.
[09:11] Takasugi
Will?
[09:12] Hyo
I had to make sure you knew.
[09:15] Takasugi
Hey!
[09:16] Katsura
Shinsaku, there was something that
looked like black smoke rising from
[09:20] Katsura
the chronometer when
Master took possession of it.
[09:23] Katsura
What if it's actually controlling him?
[09:28] Takasugi
Then if we destroy the chronometer,
Master might return to normal...
[09:34] Hijikata
Mugensai has betrayed us?
[09:37] Saito
Yes.
[09:39] Hijikata
I'm going to look into this, so don't
say anything to Kondo-san just yet.
[09:43] Saito
Understood.
[09:48] Shinsengumi Soldier A
There they are!
[09:50] Shinsengumi Soldier A
Prepare to die, you rats!
[09:52] Yamazaki
Shinsengumi!
[09:54] Kasumi
Stand down!
[09:55] Hyo
Are you unaware of who this person is?
[09:58] Kasumi
This is the supreme shogun,
Lord Tokugawa Yoshinobu!
[10:03] Shinsengumi Soldier A
Yoshinobu-sama!
[10:04] Shinsengumi Soldier B
It's Yoshinobu-sama...
[10:09] Saito
All of you!
[10:11] Saito
Tokugawa Yoshinobu is one of the rebels now.
[10:15] Saito
How dare you prostrate yourselves before him?
[10:20] Yamazaki
I will handle this.
[10:22] Yamazaki
Please hurry on ahead, Yoshinobu-sama.
[10:25] Yoshinobu
I'm counting on you, Susumu.
[10:28] Saito
I'm warning you, I won't go
easy on you like Kondo-san.
[10:42] Okita
Sakamoto Ryoma and Okada Izo, huh?
[10:46] Okita
Which one of you should I kill first?
[10:48] Ryoma
Oh, boy. I'll leave this one to you, Izo.
[10:52] Okita
I was so looking forward to this,
but my opponent is just one stray dog.
[10:57] Izo
You really yelp a lot for a pet dog.
[11:01] Okita
Let's do this!
[11:08] Katsura
Kondo-san!
[11:10] Kondo
For the sake of my master
and the Shinsengumi,
[11:15] Kondo
I will do away with any rebels!
[11:22] Katsura
Go on ahead, Shinsaku!
[11:24] Katsura
You deal with Mugensai!
[11:26] Takasugi
Got it!
[11:28] Katsura
I honestly didn't want to fight you, but...
[11:35] Katsura
After witnessing all the things
I didn't want to know or see,
[11:41] Katsura
I'm feeling a bit worked up right now!
[12:01] Takasugi
What the...
[12:18] Yoshinobu
Emperor!
[12:19] Yoshinobu
You're all right!
[12:21] Mikado
Yoshinobu!
[12:24] Hyo
Who's setting off explosives?
[12:32] Okita
Is this also your doing?
[12:35] Izo
What are you talking about?
[12:43] Saito
How pathetic. Can you really
protect Yoshinobu-sama...
[12:47] Saito
with such weak skills?!
[12:56] Kondo
Is this some cheap trick of yours?!
[12:58] Katsura
No, it's—
[13:07] Takasugi
What the hell is with these explosions?
[13:11] Hijikata
Mugensai-sama!
[13:14] Hijikata
What is the meaning of this?
[13:18] Hijikata
These explosions are not
the work of the enemy!
[13:21] Mugensai
Indeed. My plan is to crush all the rebels
[13:24] Mugensai
in one huge blow by destroying the castle.
[13:28] Hijikata
There are still many men from the
Shinsengumi and other soldiers inside!
[13:32] Hijikata
You can't mean...
[13:34] Mugensai
Do not lament, for this is an honorable
death that will usher in a new era.
[13:40] Hijikata
So you truly have betrayed us...
[13:45] Hijikata
The Shinsengumi didn't
cast aside the Tokugawa
[13:49] Hijikata
and endure the ridicule of the world
[13:51] Hijikata
to serve you and die here in vain!
[14:03] Mugensai
Hijikata, have you seen the course
of events from your proper timeline?
[14:09] Hijikata
What?
[14:10] Mugensai
The flow of time is split
into many different lines,
[14:13] Mugensai
but there is not a single one in
which the samurai have a future!
[14:28] Mugensai
I will show it all to you before you die!
[15:02] Mugensai
The age of the samurai is over.
[15:05] Mugensai
Even in this timeline, you will all be destroyed.
[15:23] Takasugi
Hijikata!
[15:26] Takasugi
Damn it!
[15:29] Mugensai
Notify all ships.
[15:31] Mugensai
Our army will be heading out to
other countries and attacking.
[15:37] Mugensai
What is it? Did you not hear me?
[15:40] Pilot
It seems that one passenger is late...
[15:44] Ryoma
So we'll be turning around.
[15:47] Takasugi
What?
[15:48] Ryoma
Takasugi-san, get on!
[15:50] Takasugi
Sakamoto?
[15:54] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[15:58] Ryoma
If you don't want me to
make the hydrogen go "boom,"
[16:01] Ryoma
then I suggest you cooperate.
[16:03] Ryoma
What?!
[16:13] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[16:14] Katsura
Are you okay?
[16:15] Takasugi
Katsura?
[16:17] Takasugi
Up there!
[16:18] Takasugi
Go up there!
[16:20] Katsura
Okay... um... is this it?
[16:25] Hisako
Mugensai-sama!
[16:27] Mugensai
It seems that I must settle this.
[16:42] Mugensai
Would you kill your teacher?
[16:44] Takasugi
No! You're not Master Shoin anymore.
[16:49] Takasugi
The one I'm killing is Mugensai!
[17:10] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[17:26] Katsura
He was only after the chronometer?
[17:31] Mugensai
You are skilled, Takasugi Shinsaku.
[17:34] Takasugi
He's not back?
[17:36] Takasugi
So you weren't being controlled
by the chronometer?
[17:40] Mugensai
And what if I wasn't?
[17:42] Takasugi
What?
[17:51] Mugensai
Then I will respond in kind.
[18:08] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[18:30] Hisako
Master!
[18:39] Hisako
Something almost like a conscious will
was growing within the chronometer.
[18:44] Hisako
But Master was not being controlled by it.
(Flashback) [18:49] Seimei
The chronometer only
(Flashback) [18:52] Seimei
amplifies the wicked thoughts of its owner.
(Flashback) [18:57] Seimei
The fact that you can no longer use it
(Flashback) [19:01] Seimei
means that your heart wills it so.
[19:08] Katsura
What do you mean?
[19:10] Hisako
He was in pursuit of power.
[19:14] Hisako
He used the chronometer
in pursuit of strength
[19:17] Hisako
so that this country would
never have to yield to another.
[19:21] Hisako
But at the same time, part
of his heart was in conflict.
[19:27] Hisako
And that was because of his wish to make an
interesting world with you, Takasugi-san.
[19:34] Hisako
Those feelings deep within his heart
[19:38] Hisako
caused the chronometer to stop working.
[19:41] Takasugi
Master...
[20:03] Takasugi
What have you done?!
[20:06] Takasugi
Damn it!
[20:08] Takasugi
Master!
[20:08] Katsura
Shinsaku, don't!
[20:10] Takasugi
Let me go!
[20:11] Takasugi
I missed his vital points. If we get
him help, he should be able to—
[20:14] Mugensai
Takasugi-kun,
[20:17] Mugensai
I greatly disturbed the flow of time
[20:20] Mugensai
with my own excessive emotions,
[20:24] Mugensai
but there may still be a chance.
[20:28] Mugensai
Return time to its proper flow,
[20:32] Mugensai
and make the interesting world
you always talked about.
[20:39] Mugensai
Farewell.
[20:41] Takasugi
Master!
[20:42] Takasugi
Master Shoin!
[20:48] Takasugi
Master!
[20:54] Katsura
Shinsaku!
[20:59] Ryoma
Takasugi-san! Katsura-san!
[21:07] Kondo
The giant castle Susanoo has fallen.
[21:25] Seimei
I must thank you all.
[21:28] Mikado
You should give your gratitude to them.
[21:32] Mikado
The pain they must be feeling
[21:35] Mikado
at having to kill their respected
teacher is unfathomable.
[21:39] Ryoma
So what are you going
to do now, Takasugi-san?
[21:43] Takasugi
"Return time to its proper flow."
[21:47] Katsura
Those were Master's final words.
[21:52] Takasugi
I'm not sure how, but I will
make sure to see it through.
