**[00:05] Katsura**
Time to bid farewell to our
hometown of Hagi again.
**[00:09] Takasugi**
I would've liked to stick
around a bit longer,
**[00:11] Takasugi**
but we only came back to
erect Master Shoin's grave.
**[00:15] Takasugi**
We still have things we need to do.
**[00:19] Katsura**
Right.
**[00:20] Takasugi**
Return the flow of time that was
corrupted by the chronometer
**[00:24] Takasugi**
to its original and rightful course.
**[00:28] Katsura**
*To its original and rightful course...*
**[00:32] Katsura**
* Were the events I saw then*
* part of the original course?*
**[00:37] Katsura**
* If so, it means that in*
* that timeline, Shinsaku will...*
**[00:43] Katsura**
Hey, Shinsaku...
**[00:46] Katsura**
Huh?!
**[00:46] Takasugi**
What're you standing around for?
**[00:48] Takasugi**
You're gonna get left behind, Katsura!
**[00:50] Katsura**
Hey! Wait for me, Shinsaku!
**[00:52] Takasugi**
We'll get through Suo today
and make it to Bizen!
**[00:55] Katsura**
Huh? That's an impossible distance!
**[00:57] Takasugi**
And I say we can do it!
**[01:06] Takasugi**
It's been so long since we've
walked around Kyoto like this.
**[01:09] Takasugi**
And the townspeople have been freed
from Mugensai's oppression...
**[01:13] Takasugi**
Wait! There's still no one
around! What's the deal?
**[01:18] Katsura**
And it appears that Susanoo Castle,
**[01:21] Katsura**
which should have burned
down, has been rebuilt.
**[01:25] Takasugi**
Really? I feel like it hasn't changed much.
**[01:29] Takasugi**
What the...
**[01:36] ---**
Wha...
**[01:37] Takasugi**
What the heck are those?!
**[01:39] Katsura**
Holes in the sky?
**[01:41] Takasugi**
What on earth.... It's like there's
another space inside them.
**[01:48] Katsura**
Look there, Shinsaku!
**[01:53] Takasugi**
That's...
**[01:55] Takasugi**
The chronometer?!
**[01:57] Takasugi**
No way!
**[01:59] Takasugi**
I'm positive I destroyed it myself that time!
**[02:09] Katsura**
Does that mean it can repair itself?
**[02:13] Okita**
Oh, so you two are here, too.
**[02:18] Takasugi**
The Shinsengumi!
**[02:19] Katsura**
Kondo Isami.
**[02:22] Takasugi**
Saito Hajime.
**[02:24] Katsura**
Okita Soji.
**[02:26] Kondo**
It's been a while, Takasugi
Shinsaku, Katsura Kogoro.
**[02:31] Kondo**
I didn't expect to encounter you
while in pursuit of the chronometer.
**[02:38] Okita**
The chronometer is...
**[02:40] Kondo**
Well, no matter.
**[02:42] Kondo**
Capture these two!
**[02:48] Saito**
You're outnumbered. Stand down.
**[02:50] Okita**
Too bad for you.
**[02:54] Takasugi**
Mugensai is long gone.
What good is capturing us gonna do?
**[02:58] Takasugi**
Or are you gonna tell me this is
an order from your new master?
**[03:04] Kondo**
Our master is Mugensai-sama.
**[03:07] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[03:09] Kondo**
Our master is Mugensai-sama the Second.
**[03:15] Takasugi**
What?!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Black Ship Invasion and Mugensai's Return!
**[05:01] Takasugi**
So, who are you?
**[05:06] Ranmaru**
I am one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Mori Ranmaru.
**[05:11] Takasugi**
Not you. I was asking
about the guy in the mask.
**[05:16] Mugensai**
I am one who has inherited the
will of Mugensai, Mugensai II.
**[05:20] Takasugi**
Inherited Mugensai's will?
**[05:23] Takasugi**
Mugensai—Master Shoin—died
regretting his mistakes
**[05:28] Takasugi**
and entrusted us to return time
to its original and rightful flow.
**[05:38] Mugensai**
Yes, my predecessor failed at the very end
**[05:41] Mugensai**
because of his attachment to the two of you.
**[05:45] Mugensai**
But I am different.
**[05:47] Mugensai**
I will make this country a
mighty one forged by warriors
**[05:50] Mugensai**
that will never yield to other countries.
**[05:53] Mugensai**
This objective remains unclouded.
**[05:56] Mugensai**
I will obtain the resurrected chronometer
**[05:58] Mugensai**
and mercilessly eliminate
any who stand in my way.
**[06:02] Mugensai**
Shinsengumi, I command you
to behead these two at once!
**[06:11] Okita**
Too bad for you guys.
**[06:12] Okita**
This Mugensai-sama is a lot
stricter than the last one.
**[06:15] Saito**
Might as well just accept
that this is your fate.
**[06:18] Okita**
Well, we'll be back to get you as
soon as the execution site is ready.
**[06:23] Takasugi**
Damn it! What the hell is going on?
**[06:26] Takasugi**
I mean, at least we can be sure that
Mugensai II isn't Master Shoin.
**[06:32] Katsura**
Yeah.
**[06:33] Katsura**
For now, we just need to
think of a way out of here.
***SIGN*** Annoyed Annoyed
**[06:37] Takasugi**
Damn, this is so depressing!
**[06:39] Takasugi**
Who the hell is that guy?!
**[06:41] Katsura**
Calm down, Shinsaku!
**[06:42] Takasugi**
I don't get it!
**[06:50] Katsura**
Kasumi! Hyo!
**[06:52] Kasumi**
Long time no see.
**[06:53] Hyo**
We've come to rescue you.
**[06:59] Takasugi**
Thanks a bunch.
**[07:00] Takasugi**
I should've guessed you shinobi
would know a way out of there.
**[07:05] Kasumi**
Haha, indeed!
**[07:07] Yamazaki**
This way, quickly.
**[07:10] Takasugi**
Yamazaki!
**[07:11] Yamazaki**
Hurry up. Yoshinobu-sama is waiting.
**[07:15] Katsura**
Lord Yoshinobu?
**[07:20] Takasugi**
This is a pretty spacious
hideout you've got here.
**[07:22] Yamazaki**
We're making use of a
wealthy merchant's mansion.
**[07:26] Yoshinobu**
I see you made it out unharmed,
Takasugi-kun, Katsura-kun.
**[07:30] Katsura**
Lord Yoshinobu!
**[07:32] Yoshinobu**
Good work, Susumu, Kasumi, and Hyo.
**[07:37] Seimei**
We're here, too.
**[07:40] Takasugi**
Seimei! And the emperor, too!
**[07:43] Mikado**
You've been through a lot so soon
after getting back from Hagi.
**[07:46] Takasugi**
This is perfect! There's
something I wanted to ask you.
**[07:49] Yoshinobu**
Yes, and we have some things
we want you to know, as well...
**[07:54] Yoshinobu**
about what's going on here
in Kyoto at the moment.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[08:08] Mugensai**
So Takasugi and Katsura escaped.
**[08:11] Kondo**
I am truly sorry.
**[08:13] Mugensai**
Curse that Takasugi Shinsaku.
**[08:15] Mugensai**
Next time you see them,
kill them without hesitation.
**[08:18] Kondo**
Yes, sir.
**[08:21] Takasugi**
Okay, then...
**[08:22] Takasugi**
So essentially, you guys haven't figured
out who this Mugensai II is, either.
**[08:28] Yoshinobu**
Right. He appeared unexpectedly around
the time you both headed to Hagi.
**[08:34] Yoshinobu**
Then, just like that, he had the remaining
soldiers and Shinsengumi under his control.
**[08:38] Yamazaki**
And now, he's carrying out repairs
on the giant castle Susanoo.
**[08:44] Katsura**
But we were only away
from Kyoto for a month.
**[08:48] Katsura**
It's hard to believe he's reorganized
and rebuilt everything in so little time.
**[08:54] Mikado**
By the way, did you see the holes in the sky?
**[08:58] Katsura**
Yes.
**[08:59] Katsura**
What on earth were those?
**[09:01] Seimei**
I will be the one to explain that.
**[09:04] Seimei**
Those holes are rifts in space-time
that were created by the chronometer
**[09:08] Seimei**
when it went out of control.
**[09:10] Katsura**
Rifts in space-time?
**[09:12] Takasugi**
The chronometer went out of control?
**[09:14] Takasugi**
But I split the thing in half.
Why is it still hanging around?
**[09:20] Seimei**
After the chronometer
absorbed all of my power,
**[09:23] Seimei**
it took on a will of its own.
**[09:26] Seimei**
Because of that, even if
it is physically destroyed,
**[09:30] Seimei**
its will won't disappear,
and it is self-repairing.
**[09:34] Takasugi**
No way...
**[09:35] Yoshinobu**
And, without a master,
**[09:39] Yoshinobu**
the chronometer cannot
contain its stored power.
**[09:42] Mikado**
It appears suddenly while
creating rifts in space-time,
**[09:44] Mikado**
but then it quickly disappears again.
**[09:48] Seimei**
All while bringing along
some unknown disaster
**[09:50] Seimei**
from the other side of space-time.
**[09:56] Takasugi**
So because of that chronometer,
**[09:58] Takasugi**
things could go wrong
anywhere at any time, huh?
**[10:02] Takasugi**
So that's why the town's still
as deserted as it's always been.
**[10:06] Yoshinobu**
Which is why we would like your
help in finding the chronometer.
**[10:11] Katsura**
But how are we supposed to find it?
**[10:14] Katsura**
We won't get anywhere by
wandering around haphazardly.
**[10:17] Yoshinobu**
Seimei-dono, why don't you explain?
**[10:20] Seimei**
Right. In exchange for having
my powers absorbed,
**[10:24] Seimei**
I have become able to sense the
chronometer, though just barely.
**[10:28] Katsura**
You can sense it?
**[10:30] Yamazaki**
Yeah.
**[10:31] Yamazaki**
Which is why, when we went to
the place where Seimei-dono
**[10:34] Yamazaki**
said he could sense the chronometer,
**[10:37] Yamazaki**
we saw that you had been
captured by the Shinsengumi.
**[10:41] Katsura**
I see. So you brought Kasumi and
Hyo to help get us out of there.
**[10:46] Takasugi**
Man, thanks for that.
**[10:48] Katsura**
But the Shinsengumi seemed
to have also gone there
**[10:51] Katsura**
because they sensed the chronometer.
**[10:54] Takasugi**
Yeah, you have a point.
**[10:55] Mikado**
We're still pretty unclear
on that bit ourselves.
**[11:00] Katsura**
Could there be someone
within the Shinsengumi
**[11:02] Katsura**
who can sense the chronometer,
like Seimei can?
**[11:07] Takasugi**
Nah, I don't think they
have anyone like that.
**[11:11] Yamazaki**
But if they did...
**[11:13] Seimei**
It would be Mugensai II.
**[11:17] Seimei**
He said that he had inherited
the will of his predecessor.
**[11:22] Seimei**
Which means he must have come in
contact with the former Mugensai
**[11:26] Seimei**
and the sentient chronometer at some point.
**[11:31] Seimei**
That is likely when he was bathed
in the chronometer's aura
**[11:34] Seimei**
and gained the ability to sense it.
**[11:38] Takasugi**
The chronometer's...
**[11:40] Takasugi**
*Wasn't that what happened to Hijikata?*
**[11:52] Takasugi**
*But Hijikata was...*
**[11:57] Katsura**
What is it, Shinsaku?
**[11:59] Takasugi**
Huh? Oh, it's nothing.
**[12:02] Takasugi**
Okay! So we just need to get
our hands on the chronometer
**[12:05] Takasugi**
before any of those guys do, right?
**[12:07] Mikado**
Right.
**[12:09] Takasugi**
By the way, I have to ask...
**[12:12] Takasugi**
Can we use the chronometer to
restore this distorted flow of time
**[12:16] Takasugi**
back to what it's supposed to be?
**[12:20] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[12:27] Seimei**
As I mentioned earlier,
**[12:29] Seimei**
the chronometer is currently out of control.
**[12:32] Seimei**
But if I can manage to repair it myself,
**[12:36] Seimei**
it would be possible to
restore the flow of time.
**[12:42] Takasugi**
Did you hear that, Katsura?!
**[12:44] Takasugi**
If we can get a hold of the chronometer,
**[12:46] Takasugi**
we'll be able to honor
Master Shoin's last request!
**[12:49] Takasugi**
We'll be able to restore
time to its proper flow!
**[12:52] Katsura**
Y-Yeah...
**[12:54] Takasugi**
What's wrong? You don't
seem too happy about it.
**[12:57] Katsura**
N-No, I *am* happy, really.
**[13:00] Katsura**
*But if we restore time, Shinsaku, you'll...*
**[13:11] Kasumi**
Are you all done talking?
**[13:13] Hyo**
We've finished preparing your meal!
**[13:16] Takasugi**
Nice! I was just starting to get hungry.
**[13:21] Kasumi**
We made our specialty, herring soba!
**[13:23] Hyo**
So dig in and enjoy!
**[13:26] Takasugi**
Man, this looks so good. Let's dig in!
**[13:29] Katsura**
I shall.
**[13:29] Seimei**
Takasugi, Katsura, I'm sorry to
disturb you while you're eating...
**[13:35] Katsura**
Is it...
**[13:37] Seimei**
Yes. I sense the chronometer.
**[13:48] Mugensai**
Tell the Shinsengumi that I have detected
the presence of the chronometer.
**[13:52] Ranmaru**
Yes, sir.
**[13:53] Mugensai**
No, wait.
**[13:55] Mugensai**
We will have *him* go this time.
**[13:58] Ranmaru**
Whom do you mean?
**[14:02] Mugensai**
One of the twelve commanders of Susanoo,
**[14:04] Mugensai**
the dual-blade wielder.
**[14:12] Takasugi**
Was the place Seimei mentioned around here?
**[14:16] Yamazaki**
It is.
**[14:17] Katsura**
Doesn't really seem like
anything is amiss right n—
**[14:22] Takasugi**
Where are the space-time rifts?
Where's the chronometer?
**[14:27] Katsura**
Sh-Shinsaku!
**[14:29] Takasugi**
You guys look for 'em, too.
**[14:30] Yamazaki**
Takasugi, b-behind you...
**[14:33] Takasugi**
Huh? What?
**[14:37] Katsura**
R-Run away!
**[14:42] Takasugi**
That was close.
**[14:44] Takasugi**
What the heck is that?
**[14:46] Katsura**
Is that a black ship?
**[14:48] Katsura**
As in Commodore Perry's black ship?
**[14:51] Takasugi**
Those space-time rifts sure
produced something huge...
**[14:56] Yamazaki**
Up there!
**[14:57] Katsura**
The chronometer! It's all the way up there?
**[14:59] Takasugi**
After it!
**[15:00] Yamazaki & Katsura**
Right!
**[15:03] Musashi**
So that's where the chronometer is.
**[15:07] Takasugi**
Who are you?
**[15:09] Musashi**
One of the twelve commanders of Susanoo,
**[15:12] Musashi**
Miyamoto Musashi.
**[15:14] Katsura**
Did he just say Miyamoto Musashi?
**[15:16] Musashi**
I hold no ill will toward any of you,
**[15:19] Musashi**
but you're gonna die here!
**[15:22] Takasugi**
Katsura, Yamazaki and I will handle this guy.
**[15:26] Takasugi**
Seize this chance to go
after the chronometer.
**[15:28] Katsura**
Got it.
**[15:34] Takasugi**
Pay attention!
**[15:39] Musashi**
I'll just go after him once
I'm finished with you two.
**[15:42] Takasugi**
Quit your yapping.
**[15:44] Takasugi**
Give me your best shot.
**[15:46] Takasugi**
I'll show you something interesting!
**[15:48] Musashi**
Nonsense!
**[15:56] Katsura**
* Get the chronometer and*
* correct the flow of time...*
**[16:01] Katsura**
*But is that really the right thing to do?*
**[16:04] Katsura**
*No! This isn't the time to be hesitating.*
**[16:07] Katsura**
*We can't let Mugensai get a hold of it.*
**[16:16] Katsura**
No! The space-time rifts
are opening up again!
**[16:19] Katsura**
I have to hurry!
**[16:24] Takasugi**
Yamazaki!
**[16:25] Musashi**
Now there's just one of you.
Whatcha gonna do?
**[16:29] Takasugi**
One is more than enough to deal with you!
**[16:31] Musashi**
So impudent!
**[16:37] Musashi**
Playtime is over.
**[16:39] Musashi**
Die!
**[16:42] Musashi**
Good job avoiding that, but...
**[16:53] Takasugi**
Sakamoto!
**[16:55] Ryoma**
We're here to help, Takasugi-san.
**[16:57] Musashi**
Only cowards use projectile weapons.
**[17:01] Ryoma**
Then how about this
projectile weapon instead?
**[17:09] ---**
Wha—
**[17:12] Takasugi**
Izo!
**[17:14] Ryoma**
Now, Takasugi-san!
**[17:21] Takasugi**
Sorry, but you need to go
back to your own time!
**[17:29] Takasugi**
You guys saved my hide, Sakamoto, Izo!
**[17:32] Izo**
Never mind that. We must
get the chronometer.
**[17:35] Ryoma**
You're right.
**[17:41] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[17:48] Yamazaki**
All right! He's so close!
**[17:54] Yamazaki**
A space-time rift!
**[17:56] Takasugi**
Crap! Get outta there, Katsura!
**[17:59] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[18:02] Katsura**
I've made it this far.
**[18:07] Katsura**
* But if we restore the flow*
* of time, Shinsaku will...*
**[18:17] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[18:30] Izo**
It's gone.
**[18:32] Ryoma**
Who knows when it'll appear again?
**[18:39] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[18:41] Takasugi**
Are you okay?
**[18:42] Katsura**
I'm sorry, Shinsaku.
**[18:44] Takasugi**
No, all that matters is that you're safe.
**[18:47] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[18:50] Takasugi**
Come on, let's head back.
**[18:51] Takasugi**
We didn't finish our soba.
**[18:54] Katsura**
Uh, I'm pretty sure it'll be soggy by now.
**[18:57] Takasugi**
We'll just have Kasumi and
Hyo make some more, then.
**[18:59] Takasugi**
Sakamoto, Izo! You guys coming, too?
**[19:03] Ryoma**
Count me in!
**[19:04] Izo**
I guess I'll go if he's going.
**[19:10] Mugensai**
I see... So he failed.
**[19:14] Mugensai**
The chronometer...
**[19:19] Hijikata**
I will secure the chronometer
**[19:21] Hijikata**
and make this country a
strong one forged by warriors.
**[19:26] Hijikata**
Without fail.
**[21:02] Takasugi**
Yo, I'm Takasugi Shinsaku.
**[21:04] Katsura**
And I'm Katsura Kogoro.
**[21:06] Takasugi**
A new battle has begun, but I think
there may be some people out there
**[21:09] Takasugi**
who are confused as to
how we're all connected.
**[21:12] Katsura**
So let's clear all that up today!
**[21:15] Takasugi**
Let's start with Kondo Isami and
the men of the Shinsengumi.
**[21:19] Takasugi**
These guys are...
**[21:21] Takasugi**
pretty nasty, so they get an X!
**[21:23] Katsura**
Well, that's somewhat true.
**[21:25] Takasugi**
Next, we don't know where this
guy came from: Mugensai II!
**[21:29] Takasugi**
This guy is seriously messed up in
the head, so he gets a big ol' X!
**[21:32] Katsura**
That's certainly true.
**[21:34] Katsura**
The previous Mugensai was
actually Master Shoin.
**[21:37] Katsura**
It's absolutely reprehensible
that he would imitate that.
**[21:39] Takasugi**
Right?
**[21:40] Katsura**
And who's next?
**[21:42] Takasugi**
Sakamoto Ryoma and Okada Izo!
**[21:44] Katsura**
These two are always helping us
out, so they obviously get...
**[21:49] Katsura**
Huh? Hey, Shinsaku, why
did you give them an X?
**[21:51] Takasugi**
They're both really obnoxious
and super unfriendly.
**[21:55] Takasugi**
They're hard to get along with.
**[21:57] Katsura**
Okay, then...
**[21:58] Takasugi**
Next up is Tokugawa Yoshinobu
and Yamazaki Susumu.
**[22:02] Katsura**
Well, say what you will,
**[22:03] Katsura**
but Lord Yoshinobu is the last
shogun of the Tokugawa clan.
**[22:06] Katsura**
So out of respect for him...
**[22:08] Katsura**
Again?! Really?!
**[22:10] Takasugi**
Yoshinobu aside, that Yamazaki
guy is ex-Shinsengumi.
**[22:14] Katsura**
*That's* your problem?
**[22:16] Takasugi**
All right! Next is the emperor and Seimei.
**[22:19] Katsura**
You're going to give these
two a circle, right?
**[22:21] Katsura**
Give them a circle, Shinsaku!
**[22:28] Takasugi**
I don't know about the emperor,
but it's Seimei's fault
**[22:30] Takasugi**
that we got thrown into the past and
went through a lot of bad stuff.
**[22:33] Katsura**
Okay...
**[22:35] Takasugi**
Oh, right! I totally forgot
about Shinobi 1 and Shinobi 2.
**[22:38] Katsura**
Uh, I think you mean Kasumi and Hyo.
**[22:40] Takasugi**
These two...
**[22:43] Katsura**
Of course, you'll take into consideration
that they're young girls, right? Right?
**[22:48] Katsura**
Them, too?!
**[22:50] Takasugi**
Well, I have the worst time keeping
track of which one is which.
**[22:56] Katsura**
It's not funny!
**[22:57] Katsura**
What kind of relationship chart
is this? It's all covered in Xs!
**[23:00] Katsura**
Are we just surrounded
by enemies or something?!
**[23:03] Takasugi**
No, that's not the case.
**[23:05] Katsura**
Uh, what?
**[23:06] Takasugi**
I only need one ally that I can really trust.
**[23:10] Katsura**
You don't mean...
**[23:13] Katsura**
Shinsaku, you...
**[23:15] Katsura**
You're usually so unreasonable,
but you actually do care about me?
**[23:23] Katsura**
Me, too?!
**[23:25] Katsura**
Then who is it? Who *is* the only
ally you say you can really trust?
**[23:29] Takasugi**
That would be... this guy!
**[23:32] Takasugi**
The one person that we can truly
trust the most is Master Shoin!
**[23:36] Katsura**
Ah, well, that's true.
**[23:39] Takasugi**
So these are our relationships!
**[23:41] Takasugi**
Once you understand them,
**[23:43] Takasugi**
you'll be able to enjoy watching
all future developments!
**[23:46] Katsura**
Are... you sure about that, Shinsaku?
**[23:50] Kasumi & Hyo**
Ghost lights!
**[23:54] Takasugi**
I-I ain't scared.
**[23:56] Katsura**
Next time on episode 2 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Kyoto on Fire! The Mysterious Ghost Light
**[23:58] Katsura**
"Kyoto on Fire! The Mysterious Ghost Light."
**[24:01] Seimei**
These ghost lights... Could they be...

**[00:01] Mugensai**
I am one who has inherited the
will of Mugensai, Mugensai II.
**[00:05] Takasugi**
Inherited Mugensai's will?
**[00:08] Takasugi**
Can we use the chronometer to
restore this distorted flow of time
**[00:12] Takasugi**
back to what it's supposed to be?
**[00:14] Seimei**
It would be possible.
**[00:17] Katsura**
Run away!
**[00:19] Katsura**
* But if we restore the flow*
* of time, Shinsaku will...*
**[00:28] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[00:29] Takasugi**
Are you okay?
**[00:31] Katsura**
I'm sorry, Shinsaku.
**[00:32] Takasugi**
No, all that matters is that you're safe.
**[00:36] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[00:40] Kasumi**
Wow, we managed to get
some good dried herring.
**[00:44] Hyo**
Now we'll be able to make some
really delicious herring soba!
**[00:50] Kasumi**
It's a graveyard.
**[00:52] Hyo**
It gives me the creeps...
**[01:01] Kasumi & Hyo**
G-Ghost light!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Kyoto on Fire! The Mysterious Ghost Light
**[02:42] Takasugi**
Ghost lights?
**[02:43] Yoshinobu**
Yes.
**[02:44] Yoshinobu**
Several sightings of them have been
reported around Kyoto recently.
**[02:50] Yoshinobu**
And that's why I would
like you to look into it.
**[02:53] Yamazaki**
Even Kasumi and Hyo saw one and freaked out.
**[02:58] Takasugi**
That's so dumb!
**[03:01] Takasugi**
It's not like ghost lights and ghosts exi—
**[03:03] Seimei**
They exist.
**[03:06] Takasugi**
D-Don't scare me like that.
**[03:08] Katsura**
What do you mean?
**[03:10] Seimei**
Much blood has been spilled
in Kyoto due to the wars.
**[03:15] Seimei**
It's no surprise that a few
ghost lights might appear.
**[03:21] Mikado**
Come on, don't tell me
you're actually scared.
**[03:25] Takasugi**
I-I ain't scared! Don't be stupid.
**[03:31] Takasugi**
Hey, don't look at me like that.
**[03:34] Katsura**
What is it, Seimei?
**[03:36] Katsura**
Do you sense the chronometer?
**[03:38] Seimei**
Yes.
**[03:39] Seimei**
This ghost light phenomenon might be
related to the chronometer somehow.
**[03:45] Takasugi**
What?
**[03:50] Katsura**
This is the place where Seimei said
the chronometer would be, isn't it?
**[03:56] Soldier A**
Have you found it?
**[03:57] Soldier B**
No.
**[03:59] Soldier A**
We need to check the houses
and storehouses, too.
**[03:59] Yamazaki**
The Shinsengumi...
**[04:01] Soldier A**
Let's look again.
**[04:03] Soldiers**
Right.
**[04:05] Takasugi**
Are they looking for the ghost lights, too?
**[04:10] Takasugi**
Th-Th-There it is! The ghost li—
**[04:13] Katsura**
Shut up, you idiot!
**[04:16] Soldier A**
Where did the ghost light show up?
**[04:18] Katsura**
Let's leave for now.
**[04:24] Yamazaki**
So the basement of the soba
shop is your shelter, huh?
**[04:27] Takasugi**
And here I thought you guys were
just freeloading in some house.
**[04:31] Takasugi**
But you're renting from the soba guy.
**[04:33] Katsura**
We were hoping to ask for your help.
**[04:37] Ryoma**
I've pretty much got the gist of it.
**[04:39] Ryoma**
But is this really connected
to the chronometer?
**[04:44] Ryoma**
No one's said anything about
seeing the space-time rifts.
**[04:47] Yamazaki**
That's true, but the ghost lights may
be some kind of tiny space-time rifts.
**[04:54] Ryoma**
Well, since the Shinsengumi
are looking for them, too...
**[04:58] Katsura**
Mugensai must also suspect
that there's a connection
**[05:00] Katsura**
between the ghost lights and the chronometer.
**[05:02] Takasugi**
All right! Let's split up
and search the town.
**[05:06] Others**
Yeah.
**[05:09] Kondo**
Reporting in, sir.
**[05:11] Kondo**
The soldiers deployed in town
**[05:14] Kondo**
have given several reports
of ghost lights appearing.
**[05:18] Mugensai**
So it's nearly time.
**[05:19] Mugensai**
Kondo, make sure to secure the chronometer.
**[05:23] Mugensai**
You have my permission to kill
anyone who stands in your way.
**[05:27] Kondo**
Yes, sir.
**[05:28] Okita**
Kondo-san said you knocked all the new
recruits on their asses at morning practice.
**[05:35] Okita**
Are you listening, Saito-san?
**[05:37] Saito**
Yes, it rather reminds me of someone.
**[05:41] Saito & Okita**
The Demon Vice Commander, Hijikata Toshizo.
**[05:51] Saito**
It's been two months already...
**(Flashback) [06:04] Soldier**
Hang in there.
**(Flashback) [06:04] Soldier**
You okay?
**(Flashback) [06:15] Kondo**
Has Toshi been found yet?
**(Flashback) [06:17] Okita**
No, he hasn't.
**(Flashback) [06:20] Kondo**
I see.
**(Flashback) [06:22] Ranmaru**
You are Kondo Isami, correct?
**(Flashback) [06:26] Kondo**
And who are you?
**(Flashback) [06:28] Ranmaru**
One of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Mori Ranmaru.
**(Flashback) [06:31] Ranmaru**
I have come for the Shinsengumi
under the orders of Mugensai-sama.
**(Flashback) [06:36] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama?
**(Flashback) [06:38] Kondo**
He's still alive?!
**(Flashback) [06:40] Ranmaru**
Oh, my apologies. I was unclear.
**(Flashback) [06:44] Ranmaru**
The one who has summoned you is...
**(Flashback) [06:47] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama?
**(Flashback) [06:50] Ranmaru**
The man you see here before you
**(Flashback) [06:52] Ranmaru**
is the legitimate successor
of Mugensai-sama the First,
**(Flashback) [06:55] Ranmaru**
Mugensai-sama the Second!
**(Flashback) [06:58] Soldier**
Mugensai-sama's successor?
**(Flashback) [06:58] Soldier**
What is the meaning of this?
**(Flashback) [07:00] Soldier**
Then our master really is...
**(Flashback) [07:02] Ranmaru**
Mugensai-sama the First has
unfortunately passed away.
**(Flashback) [07:10] Mugensai**
Shinsengumi, this recent battle
was certainly an arduous one.
**(Flashback) [07:15] Mugensai**
You have lost your lord and
many of your fellow comrades.
**(Flashback) [07:19] Mugensai**
I cannot begin to fathom your loss.
**(Flashback) [07:23] Mugensai**
However, you may not be aware
**(Flashback) [07:26] Mugensai**
that the previous Mugensai
had betrayed the Shinsengumi.
**(Flashback) [07:34] Soldier**
What's he talking about?
**(Flashback) [07:38] Kondo**
Saito, do you know anything about this?
**(Flashback) [07:42] Saito**
Hijikata-san swore me to secrecy,
**(Flashback) [07:45] Saito**
but during the battle,
**(Flashback) [07:47] Saito**
despite knowing that many of us were
still inside, the previous Mugensai...
**(Flashback) [07:53] Saito**
blew up the castle.
**(Flashback) [07:56] Kondo**
What?!
**(Flashback) [07:57] Kondo**
So Takasugi's group wasn't
responsible for that explosion?
**(Flashback) [08:02] Saito**
He said that the Shinsengumi would
not be needed in the new age
**(Flashback) [08:06] Saito**
that he was creating.
**(Flashback) [08:09] Kondo**
It can't be...
**(Flashback) [08:11] Okita**
Which means we were just cannon fodder.
**(Flashback) [08:14] Soldiers**
You're lying!
**(Flashback) [08:15] Soldiers**
Then what was it all for?
**(Flashback) [08:17] Soldiers**
Our lord betrayed us?!
**(Flashback) [08:18] Mugensai**
Silence.
**(Flashback) [08:19] Mugensai**
Shinsengumi, serve me now instead.
**(Flashback) [08:23] Mugensai**
I will not betray you.
**(Flashback) [08:26] Mugensai**
And together we will create
a true nation of warriors!
**(Flashback) [08:31] Soldier A**
What a joke!
**(Flashback) [08:32] Soldier B**
We're not falling for that!
**(Flashback) [08:34] Soldier C**
You're just going to deceive and use us, too!
**(Flashback) [08:37] Kondo**
Stop this, all of you!
**[08:53] Kondo**
* He only cut their swords*
* without harming them?*
**(Flashback) [08:57] Mugensai**
Do not waste your lives.
**(Flashback) [09:00] Mugensai**
Use them for a greater purpose.
**(Flashback) [09:03] Mugensai**
For my greater purpose.
**(Flashback) [09:08] Soldier C**
Greater purpose?
**(Flashback) [09:11] Mugensai**
Are you all familiar with the pocket watch
**(Flashback) [09:13] Mugensai**
known as the chronometer
that my predecessor had?
**(Flashback) [09:16] Okita**
Chronometer?
**(Flashback) [09:18] Mugensai**
With that watch, time can
be controlled at will.
**(Flashback) [09:23] Mugensai**
For instance, should the age of
the warrior ever come to an end,
**(Flashback) [09:27] Mugensai**
we can make it continue.
**(Flashback) [09:29] Soldier A**
The age of the warrior come to an end?
**(Flashback) [09:31] Soldier B**
What nonsense is that?
**(Flashback) [09:33] Mugensai**
I will secure the chronometer and ensure
**(Flashback) [09:35] Mugensai**
that the age of the warrior never ends.
**(Flashback) [09:38] Mugensai**
I will make this country a
strong one forged by warriors!
**(Flashback) [09:42] Saito**
A strong country forged by warriors?
**(Flashback) [09:46] Mugensai**
I'll say it once more.
**(Flashback) [09:47] Mugensai**
Shinsengumi, serve me from now on.
**(Flashback) [09:51] Mugensai**
I will always be with you, the true warriors!
**(Flashback) [10:07] Kondo**
We, the Shinsengumi,
**(Flashback) [10:09] Kondo**
hereby swear to serve you,
Mugensai-sama the Second!
**[10:21] Saito**
That's how we became the
shogunate's regular army.
**[10:25] Saito**
It's increased our workload, too.
**[10:28] Okita**
It's been more enjoyable, though.
**[10:30] Saito**
Then why don't you do the
morning practices, Okita?
**[10:33] Okita**
What? But I hate waking up early.
**[10:36] Saito**
That settles it, then.
**[10:37] Okita**
Oh, come on!
**[10:42] Takasugi**
This looks great.
**[10:44] Takasugi**
Time to dig in.
**[10:48] Takasugi**
What's up, Katsura? Not gonna eat?
**[10:51] Takasugi**
You'd better eat something so
we can go back out on patrol.
**[10:54] Katsura**
Hey, Shinsaku.
**[10:57] Katsura**
If we get our hands on the chronometer,
are you really going to turn back time?
**[11:01] Takasugi**
What're you talkin' about? Of course I am.
**[11:04] Takasugi**
We've inherited Master Shoin's will to
turn it back to its true and rightful flow.
**[11:09] Katsura**
But Shinsaku, is that really
what *you* want to do?
**[11:13] Katsura**
Or are you just trying to
convince yourself of it
**[11:16] Katsura**
because it's what Master
Shoin told you to do?
**[11:19] Takasugi**
No, I also believe that this flow of time
**[11:23] Takasugi**
altered by the chronometer is unreasonable.
**[11:27] Takasugi**
Power should be taken fair and square,
or else it's not interesting.
**[11:31] Katsura**
I guess so.
**[11:35] Katsura**
* But if we restore the*
* flow of time, you will...*
**[11:38] Villager A**
Ghost lights! Ghost lights have appeared!
**[11:41] Takasugi**
Let's go, Katsura!
**[11:43] Katsura**
Right!
**[11:45] Female Villager**
G-Ghost lights!
**[11:47] Child**
Mama, I'm scared!
**[11:47] Male Villager**
What's going on?
**[11:49] Takasugi**
Th-This is...
**[11:52] Katsura**
These seem more like
sparks than ghost lights.
**[12:00] Katsura**
This is bad, Shinsaku!
**[12:02] Takasugi**
Yeah.
**[12:06] Katsura**
I-It can't be...
**[12:10] Seimei**
Oh, no...
**[12:11] Mikado**
What's wrong?
**[12:15] Seimei**
A massive disaster is coming.
**[12:22] Mugensai**
Ranmaru.
**[12:23] Mugensai**
I sense that a space-time rift of
unprecedented size will soon appear.
**[12:27] Ranmaru**
Yes, sir. I will go take a look.
**[12:37] Takasugi**
No way!
**[12:40] Katsura**
That's...
**[12:48] Takasugi**
A flying temple?!
**[12:52] Takasugi**
It's raining sparks down everywhere!
**[12:55] Katsura**
Is that the source of the ghost lights?
**[12:57] Takasugi**
That thing's gonna engulf Kyoto in flames!
**[13:01] Katsura**
Is the chronometer in there?
**[13:03] Takasugi**
Katsura, I'm going after that temple.
**[13:05] Takasugi**
You take care of the townspeople.
**[13:07] Katsura**
Got it!
**[13:15] Ranmaru**
That's...
**[13:17] Ranmaru**
That temple is...
**[13:20] Ranmaru**
There's no doubt.
**[13:22] Ranmaru**
It's Honnoji!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[13:32] Katsura**
Hurry up!
**[13:34] Katsura**
This way!
**[13:40] Katsura**
Look out!
**[13:44] Kondo**
Be careful.
**[13:45] Girl**
I will. Thank you!
**[13:52] Katsura**
Kondo-san, and...
**[13:56] Katsura**
the Shinsengumi!
**[13:58] Kondo**
Are you alone? Where's Takasugi?
**[14:02] Kondo**
Did he go running into that burning temple?
**[14:07] Kondo**
Katsura Kogoro,
**[14:09] Kondo**
I wish I could say that I
will be killing you here,
**[14:14] Kondo**
but saving the townspeople is our priority.
**[14:17] Kondo**
Fan out and help!
**[14:18] Soldiers**
Yes, sir!
**[14:19] Kondo**
Saito, Soji, take care of things here.
**[14:22] Saito & Okita**
Yes, sir!
**[14:24] Kondo**
I'm going to that temple to
look for the chronometer.
**[14:30] Okita**
You get to live, for now.
**[14:36] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[14:44] Takasugi**
Damn that chronometer. It brought
something even worse with it this time!
**[14:50] Takasugi**
There you are!
**[14:53] Takasugi**
Don't you dare move, chronometer!
**[15:01] Takasugi**
What's going on with this temple, anyway?
**[15:04] Takasugi**
Looks like the aftermath of a huge battle.
**[15:07] Takasugi**
Crap... Can't let myself get distracted.
**[15:12] Saito**
The fire is spreading fast! Hurry!
**[15:15] Soldiers**
Yes, sir!
**[15:16] Okita**
Everyone, the fire won't reach this far.
**[15:19] Okita**
Please remain calm!
**[15:26] Mother**
My baby!
**[15:27] Mother**
Thank you so much!
**[15:30] Old Lady**
I'm sorry for this.
**[15:31] Ryoma**
Don't even trouble yourself!
**[15:34] Izo**
Hurry! This way!
**[15:37] Little Boy**
I'm scared!
**[15:38] Yamazaki**
It's okay. We'll be somewhere safe soon.
**[15:41] Female Villager**
My home!
**[15:42] Kasumi**
It's too dangerous to go in there now!
**[15:45] Hyo**
You need to get out of here!
**[15:56] Takasugi**
Damn this thing!
**[15:58] Takasugi**
I'm so close!
**[16:04] Takasugi**
Ow...
**[16:13] Takasugi**
That was close.
**[16:15] Kondo**
I won't let you get the chronometer.
**[16:17] Kondo**
You will die here, Takasugi.
**[16:20] Takasugi**
Pretty sure that's my line.
**[16:22] Takasugi**
I'm never gonna let you guys have it.
**[16:26] Takasugi**
Bring it on, Kondo.
**[16:28] Takasugi**
I'll show you something interesting!
**[16:49] Takasugi**
Ow!
**[16:50] Takasugi**
You fight dirty like Hijikata.
**[16:59] Takasugi**
Speaking of, I haven't seen Hijikata at all.
**[17:04] Takasugi**
Did he...
**[17:09] Takasugi**
not come back after all?
**(Flashback) [17:16] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, I'm going to become a
warrior and make a name for myself.
**(Flashback) [17:21] Hijikata**
And I will make you a warrior general.
**(Flashback) [17:25] Hijikata**
I swear it.
**[17:29] Takasugi**
Stop getting distracted!
**[17:32] Takasugi**
He wouldn't die so easily.
**[17:36] Kondo**
I don't need you to tell me that.
**[17:45] Takasugi**
Crap! The space-time rift!
**[17:50] Takasugi**
Where's the chronometer?
**[17:54] Takasugi**
Damn it!
**[17:56] Kondo**
Looks like it's time to make a quick exit.
**[17:59] Takasugi**
Hang on! We're not finished!
**[18:14] Kondo**
I wasn't able to get the chronometer.
**[18:16] Kondo**
Takasugi, our match is on hold for now.
**[18:21] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[18:24] Katsura**
Where's the chronometer?
**[18:26] Takasugi**
I couldn't get it.
**[18:28] Katsura**
I see.
**[18:30] Takasugi**
You don't seem that upset about it.
**[18:33] Katsura**
Huh? Oh, no, of course I am.
**[18:36] Katsura**
Come on, let's head back to town.
**[18:38] Takasugi**
Okay.
**[18:42] Mugensai**
That temple was Honnoji.
**[18:45] Mugensai**
Originally, that is where
you were supposed to die.
**[18:49] Ranmaru**
But I decided to live and
serve you, Mugensai-sama.
**[18:53] Ranmaru**
To keep the age of the warrior from ending.
**[18:57] Mugensai**
The age of the warrior...
**(Flashback) [19:00] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, I will make you a warrior general.
**[19:08] Ranmaru**
We were able to minimize damage to the town
due to the efforts of the Shinsengumi.
**[19:16] Kondo**
We're withdrawing!
**[19:18] Soldiers**
Yes, sir!
**[19:20] Townspeople**
Thank you, Shinsengumi!
**[19:23] Mugensai**
*Kondo-san, I will make you...*
**[21:02] Katsura**
* And so, with the uproar from the*
* ghost lights finally settling down,*
**[21:06] Katsura**
* Shinsaku and I are here*
* at a certain townhouse.*
**[21:10] Katsura**
Be happy, Shinsaku!
**[21:11] Katsura**
This is the rumored haunted house
where ghosts are certain to appear.
**[21:15] Takasugi**
What?!
**[21:16] Takasugi**
Wh-Why are we staying here?
**[21:18] Katsura**
The chronometer ended up being the
reason for the ghost lights, right?
**[21:21] Katsura**
I still really want to see a real ghost.
**[21:25] Katsura**
Protection salt!
**[21:28] Katsura**
Protection charms!
**[21:31] Katsura**
Oh, come on, Shinsaku. You're
not actually scared, are you?
**[21:35] Takasugi**
Of course not!
**[21:37] Takasugi**
There's no such thing as ghosts.
**[21:44] Katsura**
Honestly, you're such a skeptic, Shinsaku.
**[21:47] Katsura**
There's just something alluring
about paranormal phenomenon.
**[21:51] Takasugi**
H-Hey, Katsura...
**[21:54] Katsura**
It's more fun to believe
that ghosts exist, anyway.
**[21:57] Takasugi**
Just shut up and turn around!
**[21:59] Katsura**
What is it?
**[22:01] Takasugi**
There's a ghost orb behind you!
**[22:06] Katsura**
Oh? There's nothing there.
**[22:09] Katsura**
Come on, stop playing around.
**[22:11] Katsura**
I'm serious about wanting to see a ghost.
**[22:14] Takasugi**
Then pay attention!
**[22:17] Soba Seller**
Evening! Soba delivery!
**[22:19] Katsura**
Coming!
**[22:20] Katsura**
I ordered delivery. We can't do battle
on an empty stomach, after all.
**[22:34] Takasugi**
Why is it looking at me?
**[22:37] Katsura**
Sorry for the wait.
**[22:38] Katsura**
What was all the ruckus?
**[22:41] Takasugi**
In the closet...
**[22:43] Katsura**
Huh?
**[22:44] Takasugi**
Just open that door right now!
**[22:48] Katsura**
Okay...
**[22:50] Katsura**
There's nothing here.
**[22:51] Takasugi**
That makes it so much worse.
**[22:54] Katsura**
Seriously, what is with you?
**[22:57] Katsura**
Come on, let's eat before it gets cold.
**[23:01] Takasugi**
You know, a bunch of stuff has been
happening, but you're too dense to notice!
**[23:05] Takasugi**
It's totally unfair that I'm
the only one suffering here!
**[23:08] Katsura**
Oh, my glasses fogged up.
**[23:10] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[23:14] Katsura**
What is it?
**[23:21] Katsura**
Hang on a minute.
**[23:23] Takasugi**
Oh, crap! Its hair is growing!
**[23:26] Katsura**
My glasses are still foggy.
**[23:30] Takasugi**
It's flying!
**[23:32] Katsura**
I can't see anything.
**[23:36] Takasugi**
Damn it, stay away!
**[23:40] Katsura**
There, that should do it.
**[23:45] Katsura**
Huh?
**[23:47] Takasugi**
You missed it!
**[23:50] Katsura**
The stain on this wall
looks almost like a tiger.
**[23:54] Katsura**
Next time on episode 3 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Bakumatsu Supernatural Tales: Tiger Sighting!
**[23:57] Katsura**
"Bakumatsu Supernatural
Tales: Tiger Sighting!"
**[24:00] Katsura**
I have a feeling there's definitely
something more behind this.

**[01:58] Takasugi**
Katsura, what is all this?
**[02:02] Katsura**
Eyewitness reports of mysterious incidents.
**[02:04] Takasugi**
Mysterious incidents?
**[02:07] Katsura**
Yes. In other words, paranormal phenomenon.
**[02:10] Takasugi**
Paranormal, uh... what?
**[02:13] Katsura**
It refers to inexplicable events
that defy conventional logic.
**[02:18] Katsura**
After all the trouble
with the ghost lights,
**[02:20] Katsura**
I've been looking into various mysterious
incidents that have happened in Kyoto.
**[02:24] Takasugi**
What good is that gonna do?
**[02:27] Katsura**
I believe some of these incidents
may be connected to the chronometer.
**[02:32] Takasugi**
The chronometer...
**[02:33] Ryoma**
Katsura-san.
**[02:35] Ryoma**
We've brought the items we
collected up through yesterday.
**[02:38] Katsura**
Thanks for your help, Sakamoto-kun, Izo.
**[02:43] Takasugi**
Let's see here...
**[02:44] Takasugi**
"Dog with human-like face
spotted on Sanjo Bridge."
**[02:48] Takasugi**
"There was a deer so small it could
fit in the palm of your hand."
**[02:51] Takasugi**
Jeez, there's no way any of this is true.
**[02:54] Ryoma**
You're right about that.
**[02:56] Ryoma**
Upon closer inspection,
**[02:58] Ryoma**
most of these incidents turned
out to just be visual mistakes,
**[03:02] Ryoma**
or some sort of prank.
**[03:04] Takasugi**
So it's all a load of crap.
**[03:08] Katsura**
This is...
**[03:09] Takasugi**
What is it?
**[03:10] Katsura**
"In a village outside Kyoto,
**[03:12] Katsura**
villagers are being attacked and killed
in succession by an unknown creature."
**[03:19] Katsura**
There are other reports of similar incidents.
**[03:22] Ryoma**
We got some similar reports, as well.
**[03:26] Takasugi**
It's all probably just the work
of a feral dog or a thief.
**[03:31] Katsura**
No, I think it's worth looking into.
**[03:33] Katsura**
Let's go, Shinsaku.
**[03:35] Takasugi**
Okay.
**[03:37] Takasugi**
Maybe we'll get to see something interesting.
**[03:40] Ryoma**
Hang on a second.
**[03:43] Ryoma**
One of the people we got information from
**[03:45] Ryoma**
said that the attacks might
be the work of a ghost.
**[03:50] Takasugi**
A ghost?
**[03:52] Takasugi**
Oh, God, my stomach!
**[03:54] Katsura**
What's wrong, Shinsaku?
**[03:55] Takasugi**
My stomach... It hurts so bad!
**[03:57] Takasugi**
Sorry, Katsura. Go on without me!
**[04:00] Katsura**
Let me guess... It's because
you're scared of ghosts?
**[04:03] Takasugi**
I-It hurts!
**[04:08] Ryoma**
Katsura-san.
**[04:11] Ryoma**
Are you really going to do it by yourself?
**[04:13] Katsura**
I don't have much choice
with Shinsaku like that.
**[04:17] Ryoma**
Why don't you take this guy with you, then?
**[04:21] Katsura**
Izo?
**[04:22] Izo**
Hey, Ryoma...
**[04:23] Ryoma**
What's the harm? We don't really have
any plans for the rest of today.
**[04:28] Ryoma**
Besides, I'm sure Izo will
come in handy somehow.
**[04:43] Kasumi**
Nothing seems to be biting.
**[04:45] Mikado**
This is our first time fishing, after all.
**[04:49] Mikado**
It's not going to be that easy.
**[04:51] Seimei**
We must be patient.
**[04:54] Hyo**
That's true, but...
**[04:56] Kasumi**
This is boring.
**[05:00] Katsura**
There you are.
**[05:02] Kasumi**
Oh! Katsura and Izo.
**[05:05] Mikado**
Well, this is an unusual pairing.
**[05:07] Hyo**
I thought for sure that
Izo was Ryoma's lackey.
**[05:11] Kasumi**
I guess he's Katsura's lackey today.
**[05:14] Izo**
Shut up, rugrats.
**[05:16] Hyo & Kasumi**
Don't call us rugrats!
**[05:19] Mikado**
Anyway, was there something you needed?
**[05:22] Katsura**
Yes, I wanted to ask Seimei something.
**[05:29] Seimei**
Have I sensed the chronometer?
**[05:32] Seimei**
I haven't really sensed it since
the commotion with the ghost lights.
**[05:36] Katsura**
Then can you sense anything
about this incident?
**[05:41] Katsura**
I suspect that this might be
caused by the chronometer.
**[05:46] Seimei**
Well...
**[05:48] Seimei**
As I said before,
**[05:49] Seimei**
my ability to sense the chronometer
isn't always absolute, so I—
**[05:56] Seimei**
I sense something!
**[05:58] Katsura**
Is it the chronometer?!
**[06:00] Seimei**
Th-This is...
**[06:04] Seimei**
Something's tugging on the line!
**[06:06] Kasumi & Hyo**
You caught something!
**[06:08] Seimei**
So what do I do now?
**[06:09] Mikado**
Don't ask me.
**[06:10] Hyo**
Tug on the rod!
**[06:11] Kasumi**
But not too fast, or it'll get away!
**[06:17] Izo**
Katsura-san, maybe Seimei is right,
**[06:20] Izo**
and this case has nothing
to do with the chronometer.
**[06:22] Katsura**
No, he also said that he can't
detect the chronometer every time,
**[06:26] Katsura**
so we can't say definitively
that this isn't related.
**[06:30] Katsura**
Besides, I have a feeling there's definitely
something more behind this.
**[06:38] Izo**
I hope you're right.
**[06:42] Katsura**
This is it. The village where
the incidents happened.
**[06:47] Katsura**
Isn't it a little too quiet?
**[06:50] Izo**
I think all villages are like this.
**[06:52] Katsura**
Do you feel it, too? The sensation
that something isn't right...
**[06:57] Izo**
I can't feel anything.
**[07:03] Katsura**
Pardon me.
**[07:07] Katsura**
This is the tenth house.
**[07:09] Katsura**
Every single house is shut up tight.
**[07:12] Katsura**
Several people have already been
attacked and lost their lives,
**[07:17] Katsura**
so they're probably on their guard.
**[07:20] Izo**
Or they could just be out?
**[07:23] Katsura**
Look there.
**[07:26] Katsura**
You there, old man. I'd like to talk to you.
**[07:31] Katsura**
Wait!
**[07:36] Katsura**
Why did you run away?
**[07:38] Villager A**
I know nothing! Nothing, I tell you!
**[07:41] Izo**
Looks like he does know something.
**[07:44] Katsura**
Would you please tell us?
**[07:47] Villager A**
The ghost'll put a deadly
curse on me if I say anything!
**[07:51] Katsura**
Ghost? What do you mean?
**[07:53] Izo**
Which would you prefer: a deadly
curse or being slain right now by me?
**[08:00] Katsura**
Knock it off, Izo!
**[08:02] Izo**
*It's a joke*, y'know.
**[08:04] Izo**
Oh, that's an English phrase
I learned from Ryoma recently.
**[08:07] Izo**
It means that I'm joking.
**[08:12] Katsura**
You know about the case where
many people from this village
**[08:15] Katsura**
are being attacked, don't you?
**[08:18] Katsura**
Tell us about it, and we'll be sure to solve it.
**[08:23] Villager A**
But...
**[08:24] Izo**
Or I could kill you here.
**[08:26] Villager A**
Okay, I get it! I'll talk, I'll talk!
**[08:28] Katsura**
Izo!
**[08:31] Villager A**
I've only heard about this in passing, okay?
**[08:36] Villager A**
The rumor is that people are being
attacked by a large beast... a tiger.
**[08:43] Katsura**
Tiger?
**[08:46] Katsura**
Now I get it. So this is a tiger.
**[08:49] Izo**
But I've never heard of
there being tigers in Kyoto.
**[08:54] Katsura**
Yeah. This makes me feel
even more suspicious.
**[08:57] Katsura**
It may have something to do with the
space-time rifts and the chronometer.
**[09:01] Katsura**
We'll keep looking around this area, Izo.
**[09:04] Katsura**
The stain on this wall
looks almost like a tiger.
**[09:08] Izo**
Really? It looks like a bird to me.
**[09:11] Katsura**
This looks like blood from the
people attacked by the tiger!
**[09:15] Izo**
They're just wet footprints.
**[09:18] Katsura**
The tracks continue off in
the east-northeast direction.
**[09:20] Izo**
That's the north-northeast direction.
**[09:23] Katsura**
A tiger cub! After it, Izo!
**[09:26] Izo**
That's clearly just a cat.
**[09:29] Katsura**
Izo, are you not interested
in this case at all?
**[09:33] Izo**
It's not the case. I have zero
interest in paranormal phenomena.
**[09:38] Katsura**
What?!
**[09:40] Izo**
The fact that you haven't realized that
by now is even more surprising to me.
**[09:44] Katsura**
That makes sense...
**[09:46] Katsura**
I felt like we hadn't been working
well together from the start.
**[09:49] Katsura**
I guess that's why.
**[09:52] Izo**
I only accompanied you
because Ryoma told me to.
**[09:56] Katsura**
Hang on, though.
**[09:58] Katsura**
Why did Sakamoto-kun suggest
you come with me, then?
**[10:03] Izo**
No idea.
**[10:07] Katsura**
This presence...
**[10:15] Ikkyu**
Is something troubling you?
**[10:18] Izo**
Who are you?
**[10:20] Ikkyu**
I serve as the chief priest
at the temple nearby.
**[10:24] Ikkyu**
Judging from your appearance,
**[10:26] Ikkyu**
you must have come here to
investigate those incidents.
**[10:29] Katsura**
How can you tell?
**[10:31] Ikkyu**
Because we don't often see samurai
such as yourselves around here.
**[10:37] Katsura**
You are correct, priest.
**[10:40] Katsura**
Do you know anything about the incidents?
**[10:45] Ikkyu**
Come with me to the temple.
**[10:47] Ikkyu**
There's something I'd like to show you.
**[10:56] Ikkyu**
Come this way.
**[10:58] Katsura**
What is it you want to—
**[11:02] Izo**
This is...
**[11:04] Katsura**
A tiger?!
**[11:07] Izo**
A tiger screen?
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[11:15] Izo**
A tiger screen?
**[11:17] Ikkyu**
It's a screen that has been kept
in this temple since antiquity.
**[11:24] Izo**
This is human blood.
**[11:27] Katsura**
It can't be!
**[11:29] Katsura**
Did the tiger escape from this painting
and start attacking people?
**[11:33] Ikkyu**
Indeed.
**[11:35] Katsura**
How can that be?
**[11:37] Ikkyu**
Well, then, let us discuss my thoughts.
**[11:42] Ikkyu**
In the new shogunate created
by the former Mugensai,
**[11:45] Ikkyu**
many Susanoo soldiers were enlisted.
**[11:48] Ikkyu**
And those who were injured
in battle or training,
**[11:52] Ikkyu**
as well as those who fell ill,
**[11:54] Ikkyu**
were expelled from the
castle one after another.
**[11:57] Ikkyu**
Having served someone like Mugensai,
**[12:01] Ikkyu**
the townspeople and villagers did
not look kindly on these men,
**[12:05] Ikkyu**
and soon, having nowhere
to go, they perished.
**[12:09] Ikkyu**
Eventually their spirits would
come here to this old temple.
**[12:17] Ikkyu**
So, unable to be at rest
and resentful of the world,
**[12:21] Ikkyu**
the spirits appear as the tiger painted here
**[12:24] Ikkyu**
and attack the villagers who
refused to take them in.
**[12:29] Katsura**
I see.
**[12:31] Katsura**
So the ghost and the tiger are all connected.
**[12:39] Katsura**
Hey, Izo! This isn't the time for jokes.
**[12:42] Izo**
His story is complete rubbish.
There are no spirits here.
**[12:48] Izo**
Priest, who are you?
**[12:52] Ikkyu**
Dear me, I am but a humble—
**[13:01] Izo**
I knew it. That mask...
**[13:04] Izo**
The twelve commanders of Susanoo!
**[13:07] Ikkyu**
Indeed.
**[13:08] Ikkyu**
I am one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Ikkyu Sojun.
**[13:13] Katsura**
Ikkyu?
**[13:15] Ikkyu**
It is quite impressive that
you saw through my lie.
**[13:19] Izo**
It was simple.
**[13:21] Izo**
The wet tracks left behind in the
village match your sandals exactly.
**[13:26] Izo**
But I'm not convinced that you were able
to leave those tracks without noticing
**[13:30] Izo**
that we were following you.
**[13:33] Izo**
In other words,
**[13:35] Izo**
it means that you left those tracks
on purpose to lure us here.
**[13:41] Ikkyu**
Well done!
**[13:43] Ikkyu**
You have remarkable powers
of observation, Izo-san.
**[13:47] Katsura**
But if that's the case,
then what is he after?
**[13:51] Katsura**
Did he fabricate all of that
because he's after us?
**[13:55] Katsura**
If so, that's way too
indirect of a way to do it!
**[13:58] Ikkyu**
Why do you think I did it?
**[14:00] Izo**
I don't know what you're after.
**[14:03] Izo**
Mugensai is my enemy,
and so is anyone who serves him.
**[14:08] Izo**
Plain and simple.
**[14:10] Ikkyu**
By that logic, does that mean you
would see the sick and injured soldiers
**[14:15] Ikkyu**
who were cast out by the shogunate as
enemies and mercilessly kill them, as well?
**[14:26] Katsura**
*Ikkyu, does that mean you're...*
**[14:29] Ikkyu**
Okada Izo-san, does that not
make you merciless yourself?
**[14:37] Izo**
You talk too much, priest!
**[14:39] Katsura**
Stop, Izo! He's—
**[14:42] Girl A**
Stop!
**[14:43] Boy A**
Don't be mean to Ikkyu-san!
**[14:46] Katsura**
Children?!
**[14:50] Izo**
What is the meaning of this?
**[14:53] Katsura**
These are probably the former Susanoo
soldiers and their families.
**[14:59] Katsura**
Is that right?
**[15:00] Ikkyu**
Well done, Katsura Kogoro-san.
You figured that out masterfully.
**[15:05] Ikkyu**
I was brought to this time period from
my time by the former Mugensai-sama.
**[15:11] Ikkyu**
However, inexplicably, I alone
was permitted to act freely.
**[15:17] Ikkyu**
That is when I decided
to help the poor soldiers
**[15:21] Ikkyu**
expelled from the castle and their families
**[15:24] Ikkyu**
by sheltering them in this temple.
**[15:28] Ikkyu**
But there were many villagers
who did not look kindly on them.
**[15:33] Katsura**
And that's why you came up
with the ghost tiger case.
**[15:42] Katsura**
There are many poor
people and their families
**[15:45] Katsura**
who have been disrupted in this way.
**[15:47] Katsura**
Having said that, though, I can't
completely say that the resentment
**[15:51] Katsura**
the villagers have toward them is mistaken.
**[15:55] Ikkyu**
Not everything in this world can be
easily divided into good and evil.
**[16:02] Katsura**
Let's head back.
**[16:04] Izo**
Are you sure?
**[16:05] Katsura**
We should just leave this case alone
and not reveal the truth about it.
**[16:11] Izo**
If that's what you think is
best, then I won't argue.
**[16:20] Izo**
The blood in the tiger's mouth
is your handiwork, right?
**[16:24] Ikkyu**
Yes, what about it?
**[16:27] Izo**
Please have a look, Katsura-san.
**[16:29] Katsura**
What is it?
**[16:31] Izo**
There's something underneath the blood.
**[16:34] Katsura**
The chronometer?!
**[16:36] Ikkyu**
Impossible! I never painted
anything like that there!
**[16:45] Seimei**
I feel it!
**[16:46] Kasumi**
It's finally here!
**[16:47] Hyo**
Don't let it get away this time!
**[16:50] Seimei**
I can feel it... This sensation is...
**[16:58] Katsura**
The chronometer!
**[17:05] Katsura**
No way!
**[17:14] Ikkyu**
This is truly a case of truth
coming from a falsehood.
**[17:17] Izo**
It materialized the tiger from the screen?
**[17:20] Katsura**
No, the chronometer shouldn't
have that kind of power.
**[17:23] Katsura**
It's most likely a show tiger that
was brought from a foreign country
**[17:28] Katsura**
through the space-time rift.
**[17:31] Izo**
I'll defeat it and get the chronometer!
**[17:35] Katsura**
Izo!
**[17:41] Izo**
The chronometer!
**[17:42] Katsura**
We're in big trouble if
the space-time rift closes
**[17:45] Katsura**
and leaves this vicious tiger behind!
**[17:51] Ikkyu**
Both of you, please stand back!
**[17:54] Katsura**
Ikkyu-dono?!
**[17:56] Ikkyu**
I truly never thought I would be
eradicating tigers at this age.
**[18:08] Katsura**
Wow!
**[18:09] Izo**
Amazing...
**[18:11] Ikkyu**
I'm not supposed to exist
in this time period, after all.
**[18:15] Ikkyu**
Take care, everyone.
**[18:17] Boy A**
Ikkyu-san!
**[18:18] Girl A**
Ikkyu-san!
**[18:30] Katsura**
Ikkyu-dono...
**[18:35] Izo**
What's going to happen to those
people now that Ikkyu is gone?
**[18:39] Katsura**
Well, as long as we don't reveal
the truth of this tiger case,
**[18:43] Katsura**
no one should ever try
to approach this place.
**[18:46] Katsura**
Ikkyu-dono may be gone,
**[18:48] Katsura**
but the story he created will
continue to protect those people.
**[18:54] Izo**
I guess you're right.
**[18:57] Katsura**
By the way, Izo, how did you know
Ikkyu-dono was lying back there?
**[19:02] Katsura**
I'm not totally convinced you figured
it out just based on wet footprints.
**[19:06] Izo**
It's pretty simple.
**[19:09] Izo**
I can see ghosts.
**[19:11] Izo**
There were no ghosts in that temple.
**[19:14] Izo**
That's all.
**[19:15] Katsura**
Huh?
**[19:17] Katsura**
What?!
**[19:19] Katsura**
Say what?! You're not joking this time, right?
**[19:21] Izo**
No, I'm not joking.
**[19:23] Katsura**
What?!
**[19:24] Katsura**
So, wait... Is that the reason
Sakamoto-kun made you come with me?!
**[19:28] Katsura**
What?!
**[21:02] Takasugi**
Come on!
**[21:03] Katsura**
Shinsaku, why don't you try
pulling it more toward you?
**[21:07] Takasugi**
Toward me?
**[21:08] Takasugi**
And, pull! No use...
**[21:10] Ryoma**
Hey, Takasugi-san, Katsura-san.
**[21:13] Ryoma**
What're you guys doing to
the emperor's hideout?
**[21:16] Takasugi**
He asked us to try and fix this sliding door
**[21:19] Takasugi**
since it's not aligned right.
**[21:21] Katsura**
But we can't seem to re-align it.
**[21:24] Ryoma**
That's pretty inconvenient.
**[21:28] Izo**
There, that'll make things easier.
**[21:32] Katsura**
I get it. This mixes things up.
**[21:34] Ryoma**
Coming and going will definitely be
much easier without the door there.
**[21:38] Takasugi**
There might be a bit of a draft,
but it's not our hideout, so who cares?
**[21:42] Ryoma**
Izo may not say much,
**[21:44] Ryoma**
but he has some pretty
good ideas now and then.
**[21:47] Takasugi**
He claims that he's only
good for killing people,
**[21:50] Takasugi**
but his mind is pretty sharp, too.
**[21:52] Katsura**
We should ask Izo-san for advice
whenever we have any problems.
**[21:57] Takasugi, Katsura & Ryoma**
Izo-san!
**[22:00] Takasugi**
Every day, there's some kind of challenge
**[22:03] Takasugi**
that leaves you lost and
unsure of what to do.
**[22:06] Katsura**
Izo-san will skillfully slice through
your troubles with a single blow.
**[22:10] Ryoma**
Now! Call his name big and loud!
**[22:13] Takasugi, Katsura & Ryoma**
All together! Izo-san!
**[22:18] Izo**
What is it? You called?
**[22:20] Takasugi**
Hey, Izo-san, I wanted to eat tempura soba,
**[22:23] Takasugi**
but I accidentally ordered
kitsune soba. What should I do?
**[22:26] Izo**
In that case, you should...
**[22:29] Izo**
eat them both.
**[22:30] Takasugi**
Oh, okay! Both would sit heavily in
my stomach, but I can sleep it off!
**[22:35] Katsura**
Izo-san, Izo-san!
**[22:36] Izo**
Yes?
**[22:37] Katsura**
The strength of my glasses has been
off lately. What should I do?
**[22:43] Izo**
Don't rely on your eyes. See with your heart.
**[22:46] Katsura**
So profound!
**[22:48] Katsura**
After all, one cannot fathom the essence
of things by appearances alone.
**[22:51] Katsura**
You are certainly right.
**[22:54] Ryoma**
Izo-san, Izo-san.
**[22:55] Izo**
What is it?
**[22:56] Ryoma**
My back itches, but I can't
reach it. What should I do?
**[23:01] Izo**
Hang on. Is this sound
effect really necessary?
**[23:03] Ryoma**
It's the thinking noise, so yes.
**[23:09] Izo**
What was it again?
**[23:10] Ryoma**
My back itches and I can't reach it.
**[23:13] Izo**
Just stab yourself in the leg, then.
**[23:16] Ryoma**
You're right!
**[23:17] Ryoma**
The itchy feeling definitely doesn't
compare to the pain of being stabbed.
**[23:22] Mikado**
Izo-san, Izo-san.
**[23:23] Mikado**
Seimei just sleeps all the
time. It drives me nuts.
**[23:26] Seimei**
Izo-san, Izo-san.
**[23:28] Seimei**
I've been traveling through time so much
**[23:30] Seimei**
that it's starting to give me wrinkles.
**[23:32] Kasumi**
Izo-san, Izo-san!
**[23:33] Kasumi**
Zundamaru has been eating a lot of
treats lately, and it's a real problem.
**[23:37] Hyo**
Izo-san, Izo-san!
**[23:38] Hyo**
Whenever Zundamaru eats something
strange, he makes a weird "blegh" sound.
**[23:42] All**
Izo-san!
**[23:46] Izo**
Don't rush me. I need a break.
**[23:50] Okita**
This is another world's Kyoto?
**[23:53] Okita**
Yes! I finally got the chronometer!

That's...
**(Flashback) [00:32] Okita**
Hijikata-san's...
**[00:44] Saito**
There you are.
**[00:47] Okita**
Saito-san.
**[00:50] Saito**
What's the matter? Something on your mind?
**[00:54] Okita**
Yeah, sort of.
**[00:57] Okita**
I was just thinking about Hijikata-san.
**[01:02] Okita**
Seriously, where the heck is he?
**[01:05] Okita**
Making us all worry like this...
**[01:09] Saito**
Knowing him, he'll randomly
turn up one of these days.
**[01:14] Okita**
You're probably right.
**[01:17] Okita**
I'll just have to punch the
crap out of him when he does.

**[03:01] Takasugi**
This is the area Seimei mentioned, right?
**[03:04] Katsura**
Yeah. This is where he said
he sensed the chronometer.
**[03:07] Saito**
Takasugi! Katsura!
**[03:11] Takasugi**
The Shinsengumi!
**[03:13] Saito**
So wherever the chronometer is,
we'll find you there, huh?
**[03:17] Okita**
We let you go last time,
**[03:20] Okita**
but I'll cut you down today!
**[03:23] Takasugi**
Not if I can help it.
**[03:25] Takasugi**
I won't let you guys have the chronometer!
**[03:27] Okita**
That's what I was going to say.
The chronometer will be our—
**(Flashback) [03:33] Mugensai**
Are you all familiar with the pocket watch
**(Flashback) [03:35] Mugensai**
known as the chronometer
that my predecessor had?
**(Flashback) [03:39] Mugensai**
With that watch, time can
be controlled at will.
**[03:45] Okita**
* What if I could use that thing*
* to see Hijikata-san again?*
**[03:50] Takasugi**
Stop spacing out!
**[04:05] Takasugi & Okita**
The chronometer!
**[04:11] Katsura**
He got the chronometer!
**[04:12] Takasugi**
Damn it!
**[04:15] Okita**
Yes! I finally got the chronometer!
**[04:21] Saito**
Look out!
**[04:33] Saito**
Okita!
**[04:36] Takasugi**
What's going to happen to Okita?
**[04:38] Katsura**
Either he'll be stuck wandering
between time and space,
**[04:42] Katsura**
or he's been sent to another time period.
**[04:46] Saito**
Okita...
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[05:00] Okita**
Ow...
**[05:04] Okita**
Where am I?
**[05:08] Okita**
Ikedaya? Wasn't I just here?
**[05:13] Okita**
Where are Saito-san,
Takasugi, and the others?
**[05:17] Okita**
And the chronometer!
**[05:23] Okita**
It's gone!
**[05:24] Okita**
Oh, that's right.
**[05:26] Okita**
I fell into one of the space-time
rifts, which means...
**[05:39] Okita**
* The town seems the same,*
* yet something feels off.*
**[05:44] Okita**
* And normally I'd be able to see Susanoo*
* Castle over in the distance there.*
**[05:50] Okita**
*So this is another world's Kyoto?*
**[05:54] Saito**
We're here on official business.
**[05:57] Hijikata**
Is the owner of this establishment here?
**[05:59] Shop Worker**
Yes, please wait a moment.
**[06:01] Okita**
That's... the Shinsengumi?
**[06:05] Okita**
Saito-san and...
**[06:11] Okita**
Hijikata-san!
**[06:15] Okita**
Hijikata-san!
**[06:22] Hijikata**
Soji?
**[06:27] Hijikata**
Soji, what are you doing here?
**[06:36] Okita**
Oh, sorry. I was so happy to see
you that I couldn't help myself.
**[06:40] Hijikata**
Hitting people when you're
happy makes you crazy!
**[06:43] Kondo**
What's all the racket?
**[06:47] Okita**
Kondo-san!
**[06:49] Kondo**
Soji acting crazy is nothing new.
**[06:52] Hijikata**
Yeah, that's true.
**[06:54] Hijikata**
Good grief.
**[06:57] Hijikata**
What are you doing here, anyway?
**[07:01] Hijikata**
Didn't you go to a hot spring outside
Kyoto to help with your lung illness?
**[07:07] Okita**
Illness? Hot spring?
**[07:11] Hijikata**
And what the heck is with that weird outfit?
**[07:15] Hijikata**
It's so gaudy.
**[07:17] Okita**
Huh?
**[07:18] Okita**
Well...
**[07:20] Okita**
You see, th-this is all the
r-rage at the hot spring.
**[07:40] Saito**
What are you staring at?
Time to go on our rounds.
**[07:44] Okita**
Oh, right!
**[07:49] Saito**
How are you feeling?
**[07:52] Saito**
I thought you were going to spend
a bit more time at the hot spring.
**[07:55] Okita**
Oh, well... I wouldn't say
I'm fully back to health yet.
**[08:02] Okita**
*I get it... The version of me here is sick.*
**[08:06] Okita**
* And he's away from the squad*
* right now, recuperating.*
**[08:10] Okita**
*But that works out well for me.*
**[08:13] Okita**
* This means I can at least pretend to*
* be part of this Shinsengumi for now.*
**[08:18] Okita**
* Also, I have to find a way to*
* get back to my own time.*
**[08:25] Woman**
Thief!
**[08:29] Ronin**
Huh?
**[08:33] Ronin**
The Shinsengumi!
**[08:37] Woman**
Thank you so much!
**[08:38] Okita**
Please be careful.
**[08:40] Okita**
There are lots of lawless ronin around here.
**[08:43] Woman**
I will. Thank you very
much again, noble samurai.
**[08:49] Okita**
*Noble samurai, huh?*
**[08:51] Okita**
* The Shinsengumi's duty to protect the*
* city's peace hasn't changed here, either.*
**[08:57] Saito**
You took care of that quickly, as usual.
**[09:00] Saito**
Guess there's no need to
worry about your illness.
**[09:06] Soldier A**
Okita-san, Saito-san, please come with me.
**[09:10] Saito**
What is it?
**[09:11] Soldier A**
It's Hijikata-san.
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[09:16] Hijikata**
I can't overlook such slights
against the Tokugawa.
**[09:19] Ronin A**
What?
**[09:20] Ronin D**
Drop the act, you stupid Mibu Wolf!
**[09:24] Hijikata**
Drawing your swords on me?
**[09:28] Hijikata**
I will teach you to regret that.
**[09:31] Okita**
Hijikata-san!
**[09:33] Okita**
I'll help you.
**[09:35] Hijikata**
I don't need your help.
**[09:36] Hijikata**
I can handle filth like this on my own.
**[09:38] Okita**
I can't let you do that.
Kondo-san would be angry with me.
**[09:42] Hijikata**
Then let him.
**[09:43] Okita**
Not a chance.
**[09:44] Okita**
Besides, you can't handle
this many on your own.
**[09:47] Hijikata**
Huh? Are you insulting my abilities?
**[09:50] Okita**
I'm not insulting you.
I'm only stating the truth.
**[09:52] Hijikata**
Excuse me?
**[09:53] Okita**
Anyway, let's handle this together.
**[09:55] Hijikata**
No, I can do it myself.
**[09:57] Okita**
It'll be more efficient with the two of us.
**[09:59] Hijikata**
Who cares about efficiency?
**[10:01] Ronin B**
Stop messing around, you assholes!
**[10:09] Okita**
He always fights so recklessly.
**[10:12] Ronin G**
Don't just stand there, you moron!
**[10:20] Hijikata**
That Soji... Always playing around.
**[10:23] Okita**
Take that!
**[10:33] Saito**
Hijikata-san, are you all right?
**[10:35] Hijikata**
Oh, you're here too, Saito?
**[10:37] Saito**
Okita is always so damn fast.
**[10:41] Saito**
It's hard to believe he's sick at all.
**[10:48] Ronin D**
Damn it. We'll get you for this!
**[10:51] Okita**
All taken care of, right, Hijikata-san?
**[10:54] Hijikata**
Soji.
**[10:55] Okita**
Yes?
**[10:57] Hijikata**
You...
**[11:02] Hijikata**
Nothing, never mind.
**[11:04] Hijikata**
We'll spar when we get back to headquarters.
**[11:07] Okita**
Oh, okay.
**[11:11] Okita**
* Isn't this the place where*
* I arrived when I got here?*
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[11:23] Okita**
*Was that a space-time rift I just saw?*
**[11:28] Okita**
* Maybe if I wait here a bit longer,*
* I'll be able to go back?*
**[11:32] Hijikata**
Hey, what's the hold-up, Soji?
**[11:33] Okita**
Oh, coming!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[12:02] Okita**
*Hijikata-san is definitely tough.*
**[12:08] Okita**
*But this is so much fun!*
**[12:12] Okita**
*Staying here might not be so bad.*
**[12:17] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san.
**[12:19] Yamazaki**
I've ascertained the
anti-shogunate ronin's plans.
**[12:23] Kondo**
Good work. Tell me more about it.
**[12:25] Yamazaki**
And...
**[12:28] Kondo**
What is it?
**[12:31] Yamazaki**
Well, this arrived a bit ago.
**[12:42] Hijikata**
Soji...
**[12:44] Okita**
What is it?
**[12:46] Hijikata**
Who are you?
**[12:51] Okita**
What are you talking about, Hijikata-san?
**[12:54] Okita**
I'm Okita Soji, captain of the
1st division of the Shinsengumi.
**[13:05] Hijikata**
That's certainly true.
**[13:10] Kondo**
You two!
**[13:12] Kondo**
Got a moment?
***SIGN*** Kondo Isami-dono
**[13:19] Okita**
What is this?
**[13:22] Kondo**
A letter from Soji, who's undergoing
the bathing cure outside Kyoto.
**[13:27] Hijikata**
How can that be?
**[13:29] Kondo**
It says he'll be back in about two weeks.
**[13:36] Kondo**
But, Soji, you're right here.
**[13:40] Okita**
I changed my mind after I sent that.
**[13:43] Okita**
I can't believe it took so long to get here.
**[13:46] Kondo**
Are you trying to trick me?
**[13:56] Kondo**
Tell me the truth.
**[13:59] Okita**
Okay...
**[14:01] Okita**
You probably won't believe me, though.
**[14:10] Kondo**
You traveled through time
**[14:13] Kondo**
and came here from a world
different from this one?
**[14:17] Kondo**
The chronometer, space-time rifts...
**[14:21] Kondo**
It's definitely hard to believe.
**[14:26] Kondo**
But after seeing you show up
today in those weird clothes,
***SIGN*** Kondo Isami-dono
**[14:30] Kondo**
and receiving this letter from Soji...
**[14:32] Kondo**
If what you say is true, it all makes sense.
**[14:37] Hijikata**
It also explains the strange
feeling I've been having.
**[14:40] Hijikata**
You're definitely Soji,
but you're not the Soji we know.
**[14:49] Kondo**
Is there a way to return you to your world?
**[14:52] Okita**
About that...
**[14:57] Okita**
*I might be able to go back that way, but...*
**[15:05] Kondo**
The Shinsengumi will be heading out shortly
**[15:08] Kondo**
to subdue some ronin who plan
to overthrow the shogunate.
**[15:12] Kondo**
But you'll be staying here, Soji.
**[15:14] Okita**
Why? I'm a member of the Shinsengumi.
**[15:18] Okita**
I want to be helpful to you and Hijikata-san!
**[15:21] Kondo**
That's exactly why.
**[15:24] Kondo**
You have your own world that you live in,
**[15:26] Kondo**
and I'm sure you have things
you need to do there.
**[15:29] Kondo**
I can't take along someone
who isn't clear-headed.
**[15:46] Hijikata**
We're heading out now.
**[15:48] Okita**
Hijikata-san...
**[15:51] Okita**
Please don't die.
**[15:52] Hijikata**
Huh?
**[15:54] Okita**
You're the Demon Vice Commander
of the Shinsengumi.
**[15:56] Okita**
But you just have to go and...
**[16:00] Okita**
It's annoying.
**[16:01] Okita**
The duties increase, the papers stack up,
**[16:04] Okita**
and I have to keep the books
after morning practice!
**[16:07] Okita**
It's weird, and I feel like I'm going crazy.
**[16:11] Okita**
Without you around...
**[16:13] Okita**
Without you...
**[16:15] Hijikata**
Soji.
**[16:22] Okita**
Ow...
**[16:26] Hijikata**
That's payback for this afternoon.
**[16:28] Hijikata**
I'm not gonna die so easily.
**[16:31] Hijikata**
Not even in your world. Got it?
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[16:40] Kondo**
We're here on official business!
**[17:11] Ronin**
Wh-Who the hell are you?
**[17:23] Kondo**
You've made your decision, then.
**[17:24] Hijikata**
That's a good look for you, y'know.
**[17:30] Hijikata**
What's that?
**[17:32] Kondo**
Is this how you travel through time?
**[17:34] Okita**
Kondo-san, Hijikata-san.
**[17:47] Kondo**
Captain of the 1st division of
the Shinsengumi, Okita Soji!
**[17:50] Hijikata**
Go!
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[18:07] Takasugi**
Okita...
**[18:12] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[18:16] Saito**
Okita?
**[18:19] Okita**
Looks like I've made it back to
my world and where I was before.
**[18:26] Takasugi**
You little... How dare you look so carefree
after landing on someone's face?!
**[18:31] ---**
Wait...
**[18:33] Takasugi**
Did you see something interesting
in the space-time rift?
**[18:38] Okita**
Something like that.
**[18:41] Okita**
Saito-san, let's withdraw for today.
**[18:44] Okita**
The chronometer's disappeared, anyway.
**[18:46] Saito**
R-Right.
**[18:51] Saito**
So that's what happened...
**[18:54] Okita**
Perhaps my strong desire to see Hijikata-san
**[18:57] Okita**
sent me to another world to see him.
**[18:59] Okita**
And when I wished strongly
enough to come back, I did.
**[19:05] Saito**
That could be.
**[19:08] Okita**
The other Hijikata-san said
that he wouldn't die so easily.
**[19:14] Okita**
So we should stop worrying and wait.
**[19:17] Okita**
For when he randomly shows up.
**[19:21] Okita**
And when that happens,
**[19:24] Okita**
I'll punch the crap out of him!
**[21:01] Okita**
You're so cute.
**[21:04] Kondo**
What's going on, Soji?
**[21:05] Okita**
Just look at him! Isn't he cute?
**[21:08] Hijikata**
A stray dog?
**[21:09] Okita**
I found him while I was out on patrol.
**[21:11] Okita**
The poor thing had been tossed
in a plain wooden box.
**[21:15] Okita**
Look, that's Kondo-san. He's the most
important person in the Shinsengumi.
**[21:21] Kondo**
He's cute.
**[21:24] Okita**
And that one over there is Hijikata-san.
**[21:26] Okita**
He's called the Demon Vice
Commander of the Shinsengumi.
**[21:31] Hijikata**
Huh? Why is he hostile toward me?
**[21:33] Kondo**
Maybe it's because your face is scary?
**[21:37] Hijikata**
So fresh, it's jumping off the plate.
**[21:38] Okita**
Please don't talk like
he's a piece of sashimi.
**[21:41] Kondo**
Soji, are you going to keep him?
**[21:43] Okita**
Of course I am! I can't leave such
a helpless little guy all alone.
**[21:47] Hijikata**
You seem to be taking this pretty
lightly. Can you handle it?
**[21:50] Kondo**
Which reminds me, Toshi, didn't you
also have an abandoned dog you took in?
**[21:53] Hijikata**
Yeah.
**[21:54] Okita**
You helped him when he was injured.
**[21:57] Okita**
It was surprisingly sweet of you.
**[21:59] Kondo**
Wasn't he called...
**[22:01] Hijikata**
Don't say it!
**[22:01] Okita**
Toshio! it was Toshio!
**[22:04] Kondo**
That's right, it was Toshio.
**[22:06] Okita**
I'm the one who named him.
**[22:08] Okita**
Since he was Hijikata Toshizo's dog,
I called him Hijikata Toshio.
**[22:12] Hijikata**
Do you know how much hell you put me
through by naming him that first?!
**[22:15] Kondo**
You could've just renamed him.
**[22:17] Hijikata**
He didn't respond to the
other name I gave him.
**[22:20] Hijikata**
I came up with a great name, too.
**[22:22] Okita**
You still haven't let it go, huh?
**[22:23] Hijikata**
Your taste is just twisted, anyway.
**[22:26] Hijikata**
You even gave your own cat a weird name.
**[22:28] Kondo**
Yeah, that's true.
**[22:30] Kondo**
When I saw something black hiding in
the shadows and you calling it "Hijiki,"
**[22:36] Kondo**
I thought, "Well, it's finally happened."
**[22:39] Okita**
It was a black cat, so I
thought Hijiki fit perfectly.
**[22:43] Okita**
There, there. I'll give you a good name, too.
**[22:46] Hijikata**
Wait, Soji. I'll come up with a name.
**[22:48] Okita**
But I'm the one who found him.
**[22:49] Hijikata**
You're just going to give him
a weird name, anyway.
**[22:52] Hijikata**
I know. He has a pretty rough-looking
face, so I'll call him "Ruff."
**[22:55] Okita**
Ruff? Call a dog Ruff?
That's just ridiculous.
**[22:59] Hijikata**
You're one to talk!
**[23:00] Kondo**
Come, now. How about we split
the difference, and I'll name him?
**[23:03] Okita**
What do you mean, split the difference?
**[23:04] Kondo**
He's a brown shiba, so we'll call him "Chashiba."
**[23:07] Hijikata**
That's just as bad!
**[23:08] Kondo**
Then how about Chashibu?
**[23:10] Okita**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[23:11] Okita**
You two are hopeless.
**[23:13] Okita**
Oh, I know. Why don't we have him
decide for himself what name he likes?
**[23:17] Kondo**
What do you mean?
**[23:19] Okita**
We'll each pick a name, and whoever
he comes to is the name he'll have.
**[23:23] Hijikata**
That sounds fair.
**[23:25] Kondo**
Fine.
**[23:25] Okita**
Okay!
**[23:27] Okita**
Now, let the abandoned
puppy naming contest begin!
**[23:31] Kondo**
Okay, over here, Chashibu!
**[23:32] Hijikata**
Come to me, Ruff!
**[23:34] Okita**
Over here, Osashimi.
**[23:35] Hijikata**
Why "Osashimi"?
**[23:36] Okita**
'Cause he's fresh.
**[23:38] Hijikata**
That's what I said earlier!
**[23:39] Kondo**
Chashibu! That's it, Chashibu!
**[23:41] Hijikata**
Ruff! Ruff! Ruff, Ruff!
**[23:42] Okita**
Osashimi, Osashimi.
**[23:50] Mikado**
I'll go with you. Will that work for you?
**[23:54] Katsura**
Next time on episode 5 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Who Goes There? Night Sky Konpeito
**[23:57] Katsura**
"Who Goes There? Night Sky Konpeito."
**[23:59] Hyo**
We are secret agents!
**[24:01] Kasumi**
There will be no one to pick up the bodies!

**[00:06] Kasumi**
We're in big trouble!
**[00:08] Hyo**
We'd better get out of here!
**[00:13] Soldier A**
After them! Don't let them get away!
**[00:15] Soldier B**
Damn it! Where'd they go?
**[00:18] Soldier C**
Let's search over there!
**[00:19] Soldier B**
Got it!
**[00:23] Kasumi**
Kasumi!
**[00:24] Hyo**
Hyo!
**[00:25] Kasumi & Hyo**
We have returned from scouting.
**[00:28] Kasumi**
The repair work to the large castle
Susanoo seems to be mostly complete.
**[00:32] Hyo**
But we still managed to
record a way to escape!
**[00:36] Yoshinobu**
Great work. I'll have
you show it to me later,
**[00:40] Yoshinobu**
but for now, you should go wash up.
**[00:42] Kasumi**
We truly appreciate your
words of praise, but...
**[00:45] Hyo**
We are simply doing our duty as
secret agents of the shogunate!
**[00:49] Kasumi**
Do not trouble yourself over us.

**[02:30] Child A**
Come on, this way!
**[02:31] Child B**
Hey, wait up!
**[02:33] Child C**
Wait for me.
**[02:35] Child A**
Okay, let's play hide-and-seek
around here next.
**[02:39] Child B**
Good idea!
**[02:40] Child C**
I'm too tired.
**[02:43] Child C**
Want a snack?
**[02:45] Child A & B**
Good idea!
**[02:46] Kasumi**
Ahem!
**[02:48] Kasumi**
This is not a good place to play.
**[02:51] Child A**
Why not?
**[02:52] Child B**
Isn't this place vacant?
**[02:54] Kasumi**
Because this house...
**[02:57] Kasumi**
is haunted by a scary demon!
**[03:01] Child A**
A d-demon?
**[03:03] Child B**
There's no such thing.
**[03:05] Kasumi**
Oh, no! What's that?!
**[03:10] Child A & B**
There it is!
**[03:15] Hyo**
That worked well.
**[03:22] Kasumi**
A-Aren't you going to run away?
**[03:27] Child C**
Here, you two can have some.
**[03:30] Hyo**
What is it?
**[03:31] Child C**
It's konpeito. Try it.
**[03:34] Kasumi**
We couldn't take your
precious treat from you.
**[03:37] Hyo**
That's right.
**[03:39] Child C**
You sure?
**[03:40] Kasumi**
Anyway...
**[03:42] Child C**
Right. I'll keep your secret about the demon.
**[03:45] Child C**
Bye!
**[03:50] Hyo**
We're lucky she catches on so quickly.
**[03:53] Kasumi**
She called that candy she had "konpeito."
**[03:57] Hyo**
I had heard of it, but I'd
never seen it until now.
**[04:00] Kasumi**
I wonder what it tastes like.
**[04:03] Hyo**
It had such pretty colors.
**[04:05] Kasumi**
Pink, yellow, and green...
**[04:08] Kasumi**
It was so cute.
**[04:16] Yamazaki**
Emperor, where are you going?
**[04:20] Mikado**
Do I really need to explain my intentions?
**[04:22] Yamazaki**
But the Shinsengumi are out on patrol.
**[04:26] Yamazaki**
You have to consider who you—
**[04:28] Mikado**
I'm just going shopping.
**[04:30] Yamazaki**
Then allow me to go for—
**[04:31] Mikado**
Yamazaki.
**[04:35] Yamazaki**
Um, at least let me guard you...
**[04:46] Mikado**
*Despite what I said...*
**[05:07] Mikado**
*I have no idea how to get there.*
**[05:11] Kasumi & Hyo**
Wha—
**[05:12] Kasumi**
The emperor is out by himself?!
**[05:15] Hyo**
This is troubling.
**[05:17] Kasumi**
This is very troubling.
**[05:19] Kasumi & Hyo**
How could you let him leave by himself?!
**[05:22] Yamazaki**
W-Well, I offered to serve as his bodyguard.
**[05:26] Seimei**
Just leave him be.
**[05:29] Yamazaki**
Seimei.
**[05:31] Seimei**
It's stifling being cooped
up in here all the time.
**[05:34] Seimei**
Besides, he's been out several
times before. He'll be fine.
**[05:39] Yamazaki**
You think so?
**[05:42] Hyo**
No! It is definitely troubling!
**[05:44] Kasumi**
We will go protect him ourselves!
**[05:47] Yamazaki**
Then you should make sure
he doesn't sense your presence.
**[05:52] Hyo**
Why is that?
**[05:54] Yamazaki**
He already ordered me
not to accompany him.
**[05:58] Yamazaki**
We don't want him getting upset because
he realized he was being followed.
**[06:02] Hyo**
Understood!
**[06:04] Kasumi**
Moving around in secret is our specialty.
**[06:07] Hyo**
We will be on our way, then.
**[06:09] Yamazaki**
The emperor was heading
toward the main street.
**[06:12] Kasumi**
Understood!
**[06:12] Hyo**
Let's hurry and catch up with him!
**[06:23] Mikado**
*Perhaps I should try asking for directions.*
**[06:25] Child D**
It's your turn to be "it" next.
**[06:28] Child E**
Okay.
**[06:30] Mikado**
Pardon me, children.
**[06:34] Mikado**
How can I get to the road
that runs along the Kamo River?
**[06:37] Child F**
To get to the river, you turn right
at the intersection up ahead,
**[06:41] Child F**
then you turn left, then right again...
**[06:43] Kasumi**
We found him.
**[06:45] Hyo**
It sounds like his destination
is the Kamo River.
**[06:49] Kasumi**
Will he remember the way?
**[06:52] Hyo**
I'm not so sure...
**[07:00] Mikado**
It's this way.
**[07:04] Hyo**
That's the wrong way!
**[07:06] Kasumi**
There he goes.
**[07:08] Hyo**
Wh-What should we do?
**[07:17] Mugensai**
Has he still not arrived?
**[07:18] Ranmaru**
No. I did make sure to summon him.
**[07:24] Hanzo**
I've been here the whole time.
**[07:27] Mugensai**
You managed to conceal
your presence from me.
**[07:31] Mugensai**
Impressive work.
**[07:34] Mugensai**
Hattori Hanzo, one of the
twelve commanders of Susanoo.
**[07:39] Mugensai**
You know what your mission is?
**[07:44] Hanzo**
Indeed.
**[07:48] Mugensai**
The Imperial standard.
**[07:52] Hijikata**
I must have just cause to make
Japan a nation of warriors.
**[07:58] Hijikata**
My ambition will be complete once I have both
the chronometer and the Imperial standard.
**[08:11] Mikado**
I believe I turn right here.
**[08:14] Old Woman**
Can I help you, young man?
**[08:17] Mikado**
Pardon me, but which way is it to Kamo River?
**[08:21] Old Woman**
You need to turn left at
the intersection up ahead.
**[08:25] Mikado**
I see. Thank you.
**[08:32] Hyo**
Our ninja art of transforming into
an old lady worked perfectly!
**[08:36] Kasumi**
We managed to guide him
safely to his destination.
**[08:39] Hyo**
We can't let our guard down yet.
**[08:45] Mikado**
Which way do I go now?
***SIGN*** Kamo River
**[08:50] Mikado**
Well, this is helpful.
**[08:52] Mikado**
I see. So I go this way.
**[08:55] Kasumi**
Our ninja art of the super-easy-to-understand
sign worked perfectly!
**[09:03] Mikado**
What is it?
**[09:05] Mikado**
Fine, then. I guess I'll go another way.
**[09:10] Kasumi**
All right! Ninja art of the dog helper!
**[09:12] Hyo**
Perfect success!
**[09:14] Hyo**
But we can't relax yet.
**[09:17] Kasumi**
Let's go!
***SIGN*** Dead End
***SIGN*** Kamo River
***SIGN*** Kamo River
***SIGN*** Kamo River
***SIGN*** Kamo River
**[09:38] Hyo**
Still, this is quite exhausting.
**[09:42] Kasumi**
It's just straight on to Nijo Road from here.
**[09:44] Kasumi**
He should be fine now.
**[09:47] Hyo**
That's true.
**[09:54] Mikado**
There it is.
**[09:57] Mikado**
I finally made it.
**[10:05] Hanzo**
I found you, Emperor.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[10:17] Katsura**
So far, the chronometer has appeared here,
**[10:22] Katsura**
here, and here.
**[10:26] Katsura**
We managed to escape alive from the fight
with the Shinsengumi the other day,
**[10:30] Katsura**
but we have to get our hands on it before—
**[10:33] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[10:37] Katsura**
What are you barging in here for?
**[10:40] Takasugi**
What are you up to?
**[10:41] Katsura**
Oh, nothing.
**[10:44] Takasugi**
Anyway, Katsura, I've
discovered something huge.
**[10:48] Katsura**
Something huge?
**[10:50] Takasugi**
Yeah. Look at this.
**[10:56] Katsura**
Huh? A daifuku?
**[10:58] Takasugi**
Yes, a daifuku.
**[11:01] Takasugi**
But, Katsura, this isn't
just any normal daifuku.
**[11:05] Katsura**
Not a normal daifuku?
**[11:08] Katsura**
Shinsaku, what are you talking about?
**[11:10] Takasugi**
Ready, Katsura? I'm gonna show
you something interesting!
**[11:20] Katsura**
Th-This is...
**[11:23] Takasugi**
That's right.
**[11:25] Takasugi**
There's a strawberry inside the daifuku!
**[11:28] Takasugi**
It's called a strawberry daifuku!
**[11:30] Katsura**
Strawberry daifuku, you say?
**[11:32] Katsura**
No way. A strawberry is a strawberry,
and a daifuku is a daifuku.
**[11:36] Katsura**
They're best eaten separately.
**[11:38] Takasugi**
That's what you'd expect, right?
**[11:43] Takasugi**
Yum!
**[11:45] Katsura**
Impossible. Fruit and red bean paste?
**[11:49] Katsura**
There's no way they go well together.
**[11:54] Katsura**
So good!
**[11:56] Takasugi**
Right?
**[11:57] Katsura**
This is an incredible discovery!
**[12:00] Katsura**
The strawberry's acidity and the sweet
red bean paste are in perfect harmony.
**[12:04] Takasugi**
There are definitely lots of amazing things
**[12:07] Takasugi**
in the world that that we don't know about yet.
**[12:09] Takasugi**
I hope I live long enough to experience them!
**[12:13] Katsura**
Y-Yeah!
**[12:24] Shop Owner**
Thank you for your purchase.
**[12:28] Mikado**
Excellent. I managed to make
my purchase. Now, to get back...
**[12:33] Mikado**
Well, I'm sure if I just start walking,
I'll get there eventually.
***SIGN*** Mansion
**[12:40] Hyo**
He sure is taking a while.
**[12:43] Kasumi**
If he goes back the way he came,
he should pass by here.
**[12:51] Kasumi & Hyo**
He didn't go the other way, did he?!
**[13:00] Mikado**
I feel like this dry riverbed wasn't
here when I came by earlier.
**[13:05] Mikado**
I'll just try following the river, then.
**[13:12] Hanzo**
There's no one to see us here.
**[13:22] Hanzo**
My orders from Mugensai-sama
are to capture him alive.
**[13:26] Hanzo**
I'll put him to sleep for now.
**[13:32] Hanzo**
Who goes there?!
**[13:33] Kasumi**
The mist hangs over the heavenly
Mount Kagu this evening.
**[13:37] Kasumi**
It seems that spring has arrived.
**[13:41] Hyo**
The pounding rain mixed with
hail falls on the rice paddies,
**[13:45] Hyo**
bringing to mind my hometown.
**[13:49] Kasumi & Hyo**
The secret agents of the Tokugawa family...
**[13:51] Kasumi**
Kasumi...
**[13:52] Hyo**
And Hyo...
**[13:53] Kasumi & Hyo**
...have arrived!
**[13:55] Kasumi**
You must be one of the twelve
commanders of Susanoo.
**[13:59] Hyo**
We won't let you touch a
hair on the emperor's head.
**[14:02] Hanzo**
A couple of rugrats.
**[14:05] Kasumi & Hyo**
Don't call us rugrats!
**[14:12] Hanzo**
You seem pretty skilled,
but it'll take much more than that
**[14:16] Hanzo**
for you to capture Hattori Hanzo!
**[14:19] Kasumi**
Hattori...
**[14:21] Hyo**
...Hanzo?!
**[14:23] Hanzo**
I don't have time to deal with you brats.
**[14:26] Hanzo**
Nin!
**[14:27] Kasumi & Hyo**
I don't think so!
**[14:30] Kasumi**
I think we got him!
**[14:35] Kasumi**
The substitution technique!
**[14:36] Hyo**
He tricked us.
**[14:38] Kasumi**
The emperor is in danger.
**[14:40] Hyo**
After him!
**[14:47] Hyo**
We've caught up with him.
**[14:49] Kasumi**
Thankfully he doesn't seem
to have noticed anything.
**[14:52] Hyo**
What about Hanzo?
**[14:53] Kasumi**
Where is he?
**[15:04] Kasumi & Hyo**
Emperor!
**[15:12] Mikado**
Hyo? Kasumi? What are you doing here?
**[15:16] Kasumi**
Oh, no! We messed up!
**[15:18] Hyo**
Susumu told us to make sure
that you didn't notice us!
**[15:23] Mikado**
Huh?
**[15:24] Kasumi**
Well...
**[15:25] Kasumi**
W-We can explain...
**[15:29] Hanzo**
You keep getting in my way.
**[15:31] Mikado**
Who are you?
**[15:33] Kasumi**
He's one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Hattori Hanzo.
**[15:36] Hyo**
He's trying to capture you.
**[15:39] Mikado**
What?
**[15:39] Hanzo**
Out of the way, rugrats!
**[15:41] Kasumi**
Don't call us rugrats!
**[15:44] Hyo**
As long as we're here...
**[15:46] Kasumi**
...you will not lay a finger on the emperor!
**[15:50] Hanzo**
Nin!
**[15:52] Hyo**
He disappeared?
**[15:52] Kasumi**
He's fast!
**[15:54] Hanzo**
No, you brats are just too slow!
**[15:59] Mikado**
Hyo! Kasumi!
**[16:07] Hanzo**
Now then, Emperor, come with me.
**[16:10] Kasumi**
W-We're not through yet.
**[16:14] Kasumi**
We told you, we won't let you
lay a finger on the emperor.
**[16:17] Hyo**
Emperor, please get out of
here as quickly as you can.
**[16:23] Hanzo**
You've got some guts for a couple of rugrats.
**[16:26] Hanzo**
Very well, then.
**[16:46] Hanzo**
How insolent.
**[16:53] Mikado**
We should be safe now.
**[16:56] Mikado**
I was saved thanks to you two.
You have my gratitude.
**[16:59] Kasumi**
No, we've only lost him temporarily.
**[17:02] Kasumi**
He'll chase us down soon.
**[17:04] Hyo**
We'll keep him busy.
**[17:06] Hyo**
You use that chance to get away.
**[17:08] Mikado**
But...
**[17:14] Hanzo**
Found you.
**[17:16] Kasumi**
Emperor!
**[17:17] Hyo**
Get back!
**[17:18] Hanzo**
Out of the way!
**[17:24] Hanzo**
I'll finish you!
**[17:25] Mikado**
Stop!
**[17:28] Mikado**
I'll go with you. That's what you want, right?
**[17:32] Hanzo**
Oh?
**[17:36] Hyo**
Now's your chance!
**[17:37] Kasumi**
Get out of here!
**[17:39] Mikado**
Hyo! Kasumi! But...
**[17:43] Hyo**
We are secret agents!
**[17:45] Kasumi**
There will be no one to pick up the bodies!
**[17:50] Hanzo**
Fine, then!
**[17:52] Hanzo**
As you wish, I will turn
you into dead bodies!
**[17:59] Hanzo**
Wh-What?!
**[18:00] Kasumi & Hyo**
Susumu!
**[18:01] Yamazaki**
Well done, Kasumi, Hyo. Sorry I'm late.
**[18:06] Hanzo**
H-How did you know we were here?
**[18:12] Hyo**
We summoned Zundamaru earlier
and requested back up.
**[18:19] Hanzo**
Crafty brats...
**[18:22] Hanzo**
I'll be back!
**[18:25] Yoshinobu**
You won't get away!
**[18:28] Kasumi & Hyo**
Take that!
**[18:32] Hanzo**
Being done in by rugrats...
**[18:35] Kasumi & Hyo**
Go back to your original time.
**[18:48] Yamazaki**
What were you out shopping for, Emperor?
**[18:51] Mikado**
This.
**[18:55] Kasumi & Hyo**
Konpeito!
**[18:58] Mikado**
I wanted to get some for
Hyo and Kasumi to try.
**[19:04] Kasumi & Hyo**
Thank you for the treat!
**[19:10] Kasumi & Hyo**
So sweet!
**[19:12] Hyo**
I've never tasted anything
so good in all my life.
**[19:17] Kasumi**
Thank you so much!
**[19:20] Yamazaki**
Can I have one, too?
**[19:21] Kasumi**
Not a chance!
**[19:22] Hyo**
The emperor bought this specifically for us.
**[19:25] Yamazaki**
No fair!
**[21:01] Takasugi**
Crap, it's cold!
**[21:03] Katsura**
I-It's because Kyoto's in the basin.
**[21:06] Katsura**
Summers are hot and humid,
and winters are freezing.
**[21:09] Katsura**
But you're the one who said we
should go gather edible wild plants,
**[21:12] Katsura**
despite not knowing the way!
**[21:14] Takasugi**
Never mind that! We're gonna end up
frozen by morning at this rate anyway!
**[21:18] Katsura**
Have no fear.
**[21:20] Takasugi**
What's that?
**[21:21] Katsura**
Sakamoto-kun gave them to me.
**[21:24] Katsura**
They're a Western invention called
"matches." They help start fires.
**[21:27] Takasugi**
Nice! Maybe we can get
a fire going with those!
**[21:30] Katsura**
Okay, here we go.
**[21:34] Takasugi**
Look what you've done!
**[21:36] Katsura**
Sorry, my hand was shaking.
**[21:38] Katsura**
The next one will work.
**[21:41] Takasugi**
You did it!
**[21:44] Takasugi**
What the hell, man?!
**[21:46] Katsura**
Sorry, that was the wind.
**[21:49] Katsura**
I'll get it this time!
**[21:52] Takasugi**
Not again!
**[21:53] Katsura**
This time for sure!
**[21:55] Takasugi**
It went out!
**[22:00] Takasugi**
What're we gonna do?
**[22:02] Katsura**
There are three left.
**[22:03] Katsura**
This one has to work...
**[22:08] Katsura**
It worked! It finally worked!
**[22:13] Katsura**
Tempura soba?
**[22:18] Takasugi**
It looks so warm.
**[22:22] Takasugi**
No! The tempura soba!
**[22:25] Katsura**
H-Hang on! We'll try the next match!
**[22:32] Takasugi**
Put it out, quick!
**[22:37] Takasugi**
That was a close one.
**[22:39] Katsura**
This is the last one.
**[22:42] Takasugi**
You can do this, Katsura.
**[22:44] Katsura**
I got it.
**[22:50] Takasugi**
A futon!
**[22:52] Katsura**
It looks so warm and comfy.
**[22:55] Takasugi**
This is great.
**[22:58] Katsura**
Now we can...
**[23:00] Takasugi**
...sleep until morning.
**[23:03] Katsura**
I'm so tired, Shinsaku.
**[23:08] Takasugi**
Let's sleep, then... soundly.
**[23:15] Kasumi**
We came to check on them because
they were taking so long.
**[23:19] Hyo**
They both look so peaceful.
**[23:26] Kasumi**
Well, since there's snow on the
ground, let's make a snowman!
**[23:30] Hyo**
Sounds like fun!
**[23:34] Kasumi**
All done!
**[23:37] Hyo**
They make such splendid snowmen.
**[23:40] Takasugi**
Stop messing around!
**[23:46] Katsura**
Man, I slept great!
**[23:50] Takasugi**
So Sakamoto and I are the
only ones able to move.
**[23:52] Ryoma**
They don't look dead to me.
**[23:55] Katsura**
Next time on episode 6 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Chronometer Out of Control!
Kyoto's Motionless Day
**[23:58] Katsura**
"Chronometer Out of Control!
Kyoto's Motionless Day."
**[24:01] Takasugi**
This has something to do
with the flow of time?

**[00:03] Sakamoto**
Sheesh... We didn't get any
good leads today, either.
**[00:07] Takasugi**
We haven't seen a single sign of the
chronometer showing up in a while.
**[00:11] Sakamoto**
We want to find the chronometer as soon
as possible, but we're kind of stuck here.
**[00:16] Sakamoto**
I wonder what's going on...
**[00:17] Takasugi**
It's not a bad thing that there
haven't been any disturbances.
**[00:21] Sakamoto**
Then why do you still
seem upset, Takasugi-san?
**[00:27] Takasugi**
Katsura has been acting weird lately.
**[00:31] Takasugi**
I think he's been going behind my back
**[00:34] Takasugi**
and investigating the chronometer on his own.
**[00:37] Takasugi**
Do you know anything about it, Sakamoto?
**[00:40] Sakamoto**
Let me see... Perhaps Katsura-san
is trying to get the chronometer
**[00:43] Sakamoto**
for himself and keep it from you.
**[00:46] Takasugi**
He wouldn't do that!
**[00:48] Takasugi**
Master Shoin entrusted us
with an important mission
**[00:52] Takasugi**
to return time to its proper flow!
**[00:56] Takasugi**
He wouldn't keep that kind of thing from me.
**[00:58] Sakamoto**
You sure about that?
**[01:00] Sakamoto**
The chronometer has immeasurable value,
depending on how it's used.
**[01:05] Sakamoto**
If I could get my hands on it,
**[01:07] Sakamoto**
I'd definitely want to do
something big with it!
**[01:10] Takasugi**
You're still going on about that?
**[01:13] Takasugi**
We're going to use the chronometer
to fix this messed-up timeline.
**[01:20] Sakamoto**
No offense, Takasugi-san,
**[01:23] Sakamoto**
but I don't really care about
returning time to its proper flow.
**[01:27] Takasugi**
What?
**[01:28] Sakamoto**
You may have seen the difference when
you were taken by Seimei, but we didn't.
**[01:33] Sakamoto**
We only know there's another timeline
because you told us about it.
**[01:39] Sakamoto**
Besides...
**[01:41] Sakamoto**
Calling this timeline a mistake means
**[01:45] Sakamoto**
that my very existence is a mistake, too.

Kyoto's Motionless Day
**[03:32] Katsura**
*If my calculations are correct,*
**[03:35] Katsura**
* I should find the chronometer*
* when I turn right up ahead.*
**[03:49] Soldier A**
That's...
**[03:50] Soldier B**
Yeah, no doubt about it.
That's Katsura Kogoro.
**[03:55] Soldier C**
I'll go report to the castle.
**[04:03] Izo**
*This isn't good... What should I do?*
**[04:12] Mikado**
What is it, Seimei?
**[04:14] Mikado**
Do you sense the chronometer?
**[04:16] Seimei**
No... Could this be...
**[04:25] Mugensai**
I can feel it.
**[04:28] Mugensai**
This is...
**[04:40] Sakamoto**
What the? Did something just happen?
**[04:43] Takasugi**
Yeah, there was some kind
of strange presence.
**[04:48] Takasugi**
Let's go check outside.
**[04:56] Sakamoto**
What the...
**[05:04] Takasugi**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[05:09] Sakamoto**
We've seen a lot of pretty weird stuff,
**[05:13] Sakamoto**
but this sure is a strange phenomenon.
**[05:16] Takasugi**
They're not... dead, are they?
**[05:20] Sakamoto**
They don't look dead to me.
**[05:23] Sakamoto**
It looks like time has stopped
for everyone but us.
**[05:27] Takasugi**
What does that mean?
**[05:29] Takasugi**
So you and I are the only ones who can move?
**[05:32] Takasugi**
Regardless, the only thing I can think
of that might've caused this is...
**[05:37] Sakamoto**
Yeah.
**[05:38] Sakamoto & Takasugi**
The chronometer!
**[05:40] Takasugi**
Something must have happened
to the chronometer.
**[05:43] Takasugi**
Anyway, there might be
others who can move, too.
**[05:47] Takasugi**
Let's go, Sakamoto.
**[05:48] Sakamoto**
Right.
**[05:59] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san!
**[06:09] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[06:11] Sakamoto**
Looks like time stopped right as he was
about to be attacked by the Shinsengumi.
**[06:16] Takasugi**
I don't think they'll be able to outdo
Katsura once time resumes,
**[06:22] Takasugi**
but just in case...
**[06:26] Sakamoto**
H-H-H-Hang on a minute, Takasugi-san!
**[06:30] Sakamoto**
Isn't that kind of thing going
to affect the flow of time?
**[06:34] Takasugi**
Affect the flow of time?
**[06:38] Sakamoto**
You're the one who's been saying all
this time how it was unreasonable
**[06:42] Sakamoto**
to change the flow of time
with the chronometer.
**[06:45] Sakamoto**
But what you're doing right now
is the same thing, isn't it?
**[06:50] Takasugi**
That's true.
**[06:54] Takasugi**
Well, that's a completely separate issue.
**[06:56] Sakamoto**
What?!
**[07:01] Takasugi**
That should do it. Now, then...
**[07:07] Takasugi**
Jeez, what a klutz.
**[07:09] Takasugi**
You should be more careful.
**[07:13] Takasugi**
Did you burn yourself?
**[07:15] Takasugi**
It's because you drank it in a hurry.
**[07:17] Takasugi**
There.
**[07:21] Takasugi**
Don't blame me if you're scolded
for getting your clothes dirty.
**[07:24] Takasugi**
There you go.
**[07:26] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san, are you going
to do that for all of them?
**[07:32] Takasugi**
Well, once I've found them,
I can't just abandon them.
**[07:36] Sakamoto**
*So he's just going to keep affecting time?*
**[07:40] Takasugi**
The fish is getting away!
**[07:42] Sakamoto**
There's not much we can do about that...
**[07:45] Takasugi**
Look out! There's a cart!
**[07:47] Sakamoto**
That's too dangerous!
**[07:49] Takasugi**
You're gonna burn the fish!
You have to flip it over.
**[07:52] Sakamoto**
Although the fire's stopped moving, too...
***SIGN*** Do not cross the bridge
**[07:55] Takasugi**
The sign says not to cross
the bridge, you idiot!
**[07:58] Sakamoto**
Hang on! You're going to fall, too!
**[08:00] Takasugi**
Hmm... I guess I should ignore this one.
**[08:04] Sakamoto**
Yeah, that cat's life kinda depends on it.
**[08:08] Takasugi**
All right! Let's find the next one!
**[08:12] Sakamoto**
Watching you makes me think that perhaps
**[08:15] Sakamoto**
the big things I would want to do with
the chronometer aren't so big at all.
**[08:20] Takasugi**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[08:22] Sakamoto**
Nope, not a thing.
**[08:23] Takasugi**
Okay, then.
**[08:25] Takasugi**
Isn't that...
**[08:29] Sakamoto**
Izo!
**[08:31] Takasugi**
He seems to be in a hurry.
**[08:37] Takasugi**
Is it because he's after that soldier?
**[08:40] Takasugi**
Well, I'm sure everything would
work out if we left him to it,
**[08:45] Takasugi**
but just in case...
**[08:50] Takasugi**
Hey, Sakamoto, how about
we go to Susanoo Castle?
**[08:56] Takasugi**
Just think about it.
**[08:57] Takasugi**
Who the heck is the new Mugensai
who's in charge of these guys?
**[09:04] Sakamoto**
Now that you mention it, that does
remain a mystery, doesn't it?
**[09:07] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san, you can't possibly mean...
**[09:10] Takasugi**
Right now, all the members of the
Shinsengumi are most likely frozen.
**[09:14] Takasugi**
Which means Mugensai is, too.
**[09:16] Sakamoto**
That's true. Which means this
is probably our best chance...
**[09:20] Takasugi**
...to see the face of the second Mugensai!
**[09:23] Sakamoto**
You're incredible, Takasugi-san.
**[09:25] Sakamoto**
You're always saying such crazy things.
**[09:29] Sakamoto**
That sounds like fun, though.
**[09:32] Takasugi**
Right? Let's go, Sakamoto.
**[09:35] Sakamoto**
You got it!
**[09:35] Takasugi**
All right!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[09:53] Takasugi**
What the...
**[09:55] Sakamoto**
...heck is going on here?
**[10:08] Takasugi**
What is that?! My stomach... It hurts!
**[10:13] Sakamoto**
Someone definitely has a good sense of humor.
**[10:18] Sakamoto & Takasugi**
Wait, does that mean there's someone
other than us who can move?!
**[10:25] Takasugi**
Who could it be, though?
**[10:27] Takasugi**
Who else but us can move around?
**[10:29] Takasugi**
Maybe it's Mugensai?
**[10:31] Sakamoto**
No way. Mugensai wouldn't play a prank
**[10:33] Sakamoto**
on the Shinsengumi soldiers like that.
**[10:37] Takasugi**
You do have a point.
**[10:38] Takasugi**
Anyway, let's get to Mugensai's room fast!
**[10:45] Takasugi**
This is definitely the place.
**[10:47] Takasugi**
Let's find out what's under that mask.
**[10:52] Takasugi**
Do you hear something?
**[10:54] Sakamoto**
Yeah.
**[10:59] Kasumi**
We should probably stop now.
**[11:03] Seimei**
Really?
**[11:04] Hyo**
I think we definitely went a bit overboard.
**[11:07] Seimei**
Then we'll leave it at that.
**[11:10] Takasugi**
I've heard those voices before.
**[11:12] Sakamoto**
Yeah, I have, too.
**[11:19] Kasumi & Hyo**
Huh?
**[11:20] Takasugi**
So it *was* you three.
**[11:23] Seimei**
Oh, Takasugi and Sakamoto.
You two can move, as well?
**[11:26] Kasumi**
You scared us, barging in here.
**[11:29] Hyo**
Don't startle us like that.
**[11:32] Takasugi**
We're the ones who are startled!
**[11:33] Sakamoto**
So you're the ones behind all
the marks on the soldiers, huh?
**[11:40] Takasugi**
Anyway, Seimei, it's a
good thing you're here.
**[11:43] Takasugi**
Tell us, why is everyone frozen?
**[11:47] Takasugi**
It has something to do with
the chronometer, doesn't it?
**[11:50] Seimei**
Yes.
**[11:52] Seimei**
Perhaps the chronometer is undergoing
some sort of change somewhere.
**[11:56] Takasugi**
Change?
**[11:57] Sakamoto**
What does that mean?
**[11:59] Seimei**
Maybe it's finished repairing itself.
**[12:04] Seimei**
It may be that the chronometer is
doing something different from before
**[12:09] Seimei**
and temporarily stopping time as a result.
**[12:12] Sakamoto**
Which means if we wait,
time will start moving again?
**[12:15] Seimei**
Probably.
**[12:16] Takasugi**
I see.
**[12:17] Sakamoto**
I wondered what we were going to do
**[12:19] Sakamoto**
if Katsura-san and Izo-san
were gonna be stuck like that.
**[12:23] Takasugi**
But why are we the only
ones who can move around?
**[12:26] Takasugi**
Why can some of us move and others can't?
**[12:30] Seimei**
I don't really know the answer to that.
**[12:34] Kasumi**
By chance, somehow the three
of us were able to move.
**[12:40] Hyo**
Yoshinobu-sama, the emperor,
and Susumu were all frozen.
**[12:45] Sakamoto**
So you came to the castle to investigate,
but started goofing around
**[12:49] Sakamoto**
and couldn't stop yourselves, am I right?
**[12:54] Takasugi**
Honestly...
**[12:55] Takasugi**
It doesn't look like Mugensai's here, though.
**[12:59] Seimei**
No, Ranmaru was the only
one here when we arrived.
**[13:03] Takasugi**
I see.
**[13:05] Sakamoto**
Looks like this was a bust, Takasugi-san.
**[13:09] Takasugi**
Well, as long as we're here, we should do
something to mess with those guys, too!
**[13:16] Seimei**
Those guys?
**[13:19] Takasugi**
They're really going at it.
**[13:21] Takasugi**
These Shinsengumi guys have spirit.
**[13:25] Kasumi**
They're all in the midst of practice.
**[13:28] Takasugi**
There they are!
**[13:29] Takasugi**
Kondo, Okita, and Saito.
**[13:35] Takasugi**
We've definitely been dealing
with them a lot lately.
**[13:39] Takasugi**
I'll show you something interesting.
**[13:41] Sakamoto**
What're you gonna do, Takasugi-san?
**[13:44] Takasugi**
Put this here and this there...
**[13:48] Takasugi**
All done! Sumo opening pose: Unryu style!
**[13:53] Takasugi**
And this is Shiranui style!
**[13:59] Takasugi**
One more!
**[14:00] Takasugi**
Take this! The Shiko leg lift!
**[14:05] Takasugi**
There, see? Just doing
stuff like this can't hurt.
**[14:10] Takasugi**
Man, why isn't that Hijikata
guy around when you want him?
**[14:14] Takasugi**
I wanted to put him in a funny pose, too.
**[14:19] Seimei**
Huh?
**[14:22] Seimei**
What's Mugensai doing over there?
**[14:26] Seimei**
Was he there before?
**[14:27] Kasumi**
I didn't notice him.
**[14:29] Takasugi**
I guess he got frozen when he came
to watch the soldiers practice.
**[14:34] Takasugi**
All right!
**[14:36] Takasugi**
I'm gonna have to mess with him, too.
**[14:39] Takasugi**
But first...
**[14:41] Takasugi**
Let's see what's under that mask.
**[14:55] Takasugi**
What?!
**[14:56] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san!
**[14:58] Mugensai**
You've really been enjoying
yourself, haven't you?
**[15:06] Mugensai**
Don't think for a second that
I'll let you leave here alive.
**[15:11] Sakamoto**
You okay, Takasugi-san?
**[15:13] Takasugi**
Ow...
**[15:14] Sakamoto**
Looks like we've found
someone else who can move.
**[15:17] Takasugi**
If you could move, you should've said so!
**[15:21] Mugensai**
Die!
**[15:24] Takasugi**
If you can move, that means
I don't need to hold back!
**[15:35] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san, don't move!
**[15:39] Sakamoto**
What?! My gun won't work?!
**[15:44] Takasugi**
Just who the hell are you?
**[15:48] Mugensai**
You don't need to know,
since you're going to die here.
**[15:51] Takasugi**
I'm not gonna die so easily!
**[15:58] Kasumi**
Things have really gotten bad.
**[16:00] Hyo**
If this keeps up...
**[16:04] Kasumi**
Seimei?
**[16:05] Hyo**
What's the matter?
**[16:07] Seimei**
Time is moving again.
**[16:12] Dumpling Seller**
Huh?
**[16:14] Old Lady**
Oh, my...
**[16:24] Yoshinobu**
What happened to your face?
**[16:25] Mikado**
That's a riot.
**[16:34] Kasumi**
They're starting to move!
**[16:36] Sakamoto**
We'd better get out of here fast.
**[16:38] Takasugi**
Right.
**[16:40] Mugensai**
I don't think so!
**[16:41] Kasumi**
Take that!
**[16:43] Hyo**
Now's our chance to get out of here!
**[16:54] Okita**
What's going on?
**[16:57] Saito**
Are you all right, Kondo-san?
**[16:59] Kondo**
Yes, but...
**[17:02] Kondo**
What exactly were we practicing?
**[17:04] Okita**
Huh?
**[17:05] Saito**
No idea.
**[17:07] Katsura**
Time stopped? That's what happened?
**[17:11] Takasugi**
Seimei said that it might've been because
the chronometer was repairing itself.
**[17:16] Katsura**
I see. So the chronometer
has that kind of power.
**[17:20] Katsura**
But I escaped certain death, thanks to you.
**[17:22] Sakamoto**
No need to thank us.
**[17:25] Takasugi**
It's only natural to do
anything to save a friend
**[17:28] Takasugi**
when they're in trouble, right?
**[17:31] Katsura**
Yeah, that's true.
**[17:33] Takasugi**
By the way, Katsura,
**[17:35] Takasugi**
what were you walking around like that for?
**[17:38] Katsura**
Well, I was lost in thought and
just ended up there somehow.
**[17:44] Takasugi**
Were you secretly trying to find
the chronometer on your own?
**[17:50] Takasugi**
Or maybe you've already found it
and are hiding it somewhere!
**[17:54] Katsura**
What are you talking about? Of course not!
**[17:58] Takasugi**
Yeah, you're right. My bad.
**[18:03] Takasugi**
So anyway, Katsura, what did it
feel like when time was stopped?
**[18:07] Katsura**
What did it feel like? It didn't
really feel like anything.
**[18:12] Takasugi**
That makes sense.
**[18:29] Katsura**
So you're the one who took the chronometer
when it appeared here, Sakamoto-kun?
**[18:35] Sakamoto**
Well, now, I have no idea what you mean.
**[18:39] Katsura**
I've been analyzing where the chronometer
appears every time it comes here.
**[18:45] Katsura**
If there was anyone else aside
from me who could figure out
**[18:48] Katsura**
where the chronometer would appear,
it would be you, Sakamoto-kun.
**[18:53] Sakamoto**
And what about you, Katsura-san?
**[18:56] Sakamoto**
It looks to me like you're
trying to find the chronometer
**[18:59] Sakamoto**
before Takasugi-san does.
**[19:03] Sakamoto**
But I'm completely lost as to why.
**[19:06] Sakamoto**
Why are you in such a hurry
to find it, Katsura-san?
**[19:12] Katsura**
Fine. I'll tell you everything.
**[19:15] Katsura**
I'm sure you'll be able to understand
the meaning behind what I'm trying to do.
**[21:00] Kondo**
Hello, everyone! It's time
for the Shinsengumi Hour.
**[21:04] Kondo**
Please join us for another
delightful talk today.
**[21:06] Kondo**
I'm your host, Kondo Isami.
**[21:09] Kondo**
Now, let's have you all
introduce yourselves.
**[21:12] Okita**
When I woke up this morning,
there was blood on my pillow,
**[21:15] Okita**
and I thought, "Huh? When was I bleeding?"
**[21:17] Okita**
But then I realized it was a stain from
the watermelon I had eaten before bed.
**[21:22] Okita**
I'm Okita Soji, captain
of the first division!
**[21:25] Kondo**
Come on, don't worry me like
that, Soji. All right, next.
**[21:28] Saito**
I recently learned of the
term "unexpected crush."
**[21:31] Saito**
Apparently it refers to the heartfelt
attraction felt for someone
**[21:35] Saito**
who may look scary, but
loves cute things like cats.
**[21:38] Saito**
Of course, my face and personality are
both like this, so it doesn't apply to me.
**[21:42] Saito**
Captain of the third division, Saito Hajime.
**[21:44] Kondo**
So you're actually aware
that your face is scary?
**[21:48] Okita**
Yeah, you're an unexpected crush.
**[21:50] Saito**
Shut up, Okita.
**[21:52] Kondo**
See? You're being scary again.
**[21:54] Saito**
Oh, my apologies.
**[21:55] Kondo**
Okay, next up is a gentleman who has
just recently been named a successor.
**[21:59] Mugensai**
Uh... I am, well...
**[22:02] Kondo**
I can see you're nervous, Mugensai II-san,
**[22:05] Kondo**
but that's to be expected, since this
is your first time on this program.
**[22:08] Saito**
Just try and relax.
**[22:09] Okita**
Come on, smile, smile.
**[22:12] Mugensai**
Um...
**[22:12] Kondo**
And now for the one in charge of the cushions.
**[22:15] Yamazaki**
When I was taking a break at a dumpling
shop with Yoshinobu-sama the other day,
**[22:19] Yamazaki**
the shop owner asked us if we were brothers.
**[22:21] Yamazaki**
Yoshinobu-sama responded
jokingly that we were,
**[22:25] Yamazaki**
and I felt a little embarrassed.
**[22:27] Yamazaki**
I'm Yamazaki Susumu...
**[22:30] Yamazaki**
Wait, why the heck do I have to do this?!
**[22:33] Kondo**
What's the matter, Yamazaki?
Why are you angry?
**[22:36] Yamazaki**
I quit the Shinsengumi a while ago!
**[22:38] Kondo**
I understand that you're not happy
to be in charge of the cushions,
**[22:41] Kondo**
but there are jobs in this
world that someone has to do.
**[22:44] Yamazaki**
That's not what I'm talking about!
**[22:46] Saito**
You want to sit over here,
don't you, Yamazaki?
**[22:49] Okita**
Is that all? You should've just said so.
**[22:51] Saito**
But sitting over here means you
have to say all kinds of silly things,
**[22:55] Saito**
so it's not that easy.
**[22:56] Okita**
That's true, and you rehearse
what you're going to say
**[22:59] Okita**
in bed every night, don't you, Saito?
**[23:01] Saito**
Hey! Don't talk about that
when we're in public!
**[23:05] Okita**
My bad.
**[23:06] Yamazaki**
I'm telling you, that's not why!
I don't want to sit over there.
**[23:09] Kondo**
You really don't want to be in charge
of the cushions, Yamazaki?
**[23:12] Yamazaki**
I don't!
**[23:14] Kondo**
That's a problem, then.
**[23:15] Okita**
We can't have the Shinsengumi Hour
**[23:17] Okita**
if we don't have someone
to take care of the cushions.
**[23:20] Yamazaki**
Is the Shinsengumi Hour
really that important?!
**[23:22] Kondo**
I completely understand how you feel,
**[23:24] Kondo**
but we really need someone who
can distribute the cushions.
**[23:28] Kondo**
What would you say to a compromise?
**[23:30] Yamazaki**
A compromise?
**[23:31] Kondo**
Yes. If you continue serving as the
person in charge of the cushions...
**[23:35] Yamazaki**
If I do?
**[23:36] Kondo**
I'll give you ten cushions!
**[23:38] Yamazaki**
Ten cushions?!
**[23:42] Yamazaki**
No, no, no! I don't even need that
many. I don't need cushions!
**[23:45] Yamazaki**
Seriously, I have no clue
what you're going on about!
**[23:45] Kondo**
Well, that's all the time we have for today.
We *Kondo* wait to see you again!
**[23:50] Takasugi**
You know a lot about the
chronometer, don't you?
**[23:53] Seimei**
Do you want to see how the
chronometer was created?
**[23:55] Katsura**
Next time on episode 7 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Birth of the Chronometer! Destined Siblings
**[23:58] Katsura**
"Birth of the Chronometer! Destined Siblings."

**[00:05] Katsura**
So you're the one who took the chronometer
when it appeared here, Sakamoto-kun?
**[00:11] Sakamoto**
Well, now, I have no idea what you mean.
**[00:15] Sakamoto**
And what about you, Katsura-san?
**[00:18] Sakamoto**
It looks to me like you're
trying to find the chronometer
**[00:23] Sakamoto**
before Takasugi-san does.
**[00:27] Katsura**
Fine. I'll tell you everything.
**[00:30] Katsura**
If the chronometer is used to
return time to its original course,
**[00:36] Katsura**
then Shinsaku... will die.
**[00:39] Sakamoto**
What?!
**[00:41] Sakamoto**
Are you sure?
**[00:43] Katsura**
Yes, I saw the proper flow of events myself.
**[00:51] Katsura**
Which is why I can't let him get
his hands on the chronometer.
**[01:00] Sakamoto**
I completely understand how you feel.
**[01:03] Sakamoto**
Unfortunately, though, I honestly
don't have the chronometer.
**[01:08] Sakamoto**
See ya, Katsura-san.
**[01:22] Izo**
So, what are you going to do now?
**[01:25] Sakamoto**
I always had a vague plan that
when I got hold of the chronometer,
**[01:30] Sakamoto**
I'd do big things with it.
**[01:33] Sakamoto**
Now then, what *should* I do with this thing?
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Birth of the Chronometer! Destined Siblings
**[03:15] Takasugi**
What's the deal?
**[03:17] Takasugi**
We haven't gotten any clues on where
the chronometer is at all lately.
**[03:21] Katsura**
No, we haven't.
**[03:23] Takasugi**
And Seimei hasn't said anything, either.
**[03:26] Takasugi**
So, what do you think?
**[03:29] Takasugi**
Hey, are you listening?
**[03:30] Katsura**
Sorry, I was just thinking.
**[03:34] Takasugi**
Get it together. We have
to get the chronometer
**[03:37] Takasugi**
and restore the flow of time
to its original course.
**[03:41] Katsura**
I know that.
**[03:42] Takasugi**
Sometimes I wonder if you do.
**[03:46] Katsura**
Hey, Shinsaku, do you know what
Sakamoto-kun's been up to?
**[03:49] Katsura**
I haven't seen him these past few days.
**[03:51] Takasugi**
Huh? Actually, I haven't seen him, either.
**[03:54] Takasugi**
Izo isn't around, either. Maybe they're
off buying weapons or something?
**[04:01] Katsura**
Thanks for the food, sir.
**[04:03] Shop Owner**
Thank you.
**[04:04] Takasugi**
Hey, where you going?
**[04:07] Katsura**
There's something I want to look into.
**[04:14] Takasugi**
What's up with him?
**[04:17] Seimei**
Good day.
**[04:18] Shop Owner**
Welcome.
**[04:20] Takasugi**
Seimei!
**[04:22] Takasugi**
Has there been some sign of the chronometer?
**[04:25] Seimei**
No, not really.
**[04:27] Seimei**
Sir, one order of soba, please.
**[04:28] Shop Owner**
Coming up!
**[04:29] Takasugi**
You just came to eat soba?!
**[04:38] Sakamoto**
*I completely understand how you feel.*
**(Flashback) [04:41] Sakamoto**
Unfortunately, though, I honestly
don't have the chronometer.
**[04:46] Katsura**
*That's what he said,*
**[04:48] Katsura**
* but both Sakamoto-kun and Izo*
* disappeared after that day.*
**[04:52] Katsura**
*I'm certain he has the chronometer.*
**[04:58] Katsura**
*I have to find him, and fast.*
**[05:02] Seimei**
The chronometer, huh?
**[05:05] Seimei**
I haven't sensed it lately.
**[05:07] Takasugi**
Didn't think so.
**[05:09] Takasugi**
I don't think searching blindly
is going to help, either.
**[05:12] Takasugi**
But I actually don't know all that
much about the chronometer.
**[05:17] Seimei**
You know, it was a long time ago,
but... I made the chronometer.
**[05:20] ---**
What?!
**[05:22] Takasugi**
Seriously? And you never said anything?!
**[05:25] Seimei**
Do you want to see how
the chronometer was created?
**[05:28] Takasugi**
Can you do that?
**[05:30] Seimei**
My powers are drained at the moment,
so I can't use them to travel back in time,
**[05:35] Seimei**
but I can send our thoughts back to my past.
**[05:45] Takasugi**
Wh-What the heck?!
**[05:48] Seimei**
Here we go.
**[05:56] Takasugi**
What the hell is going on?!
**[06:03] Seimei**
We're here.
**[06:05] Takasugi**
Where is "here"?
**[06:08] Seimei**
The old imperial palace, 25 years ago.
**[06:12] Young Mikado**
Confucius says, "At fifteen,
my heart was set on learning;
**[06:18] Young Mikado**
at thirty, I stood firm;
**[06:20] Young Mikado**
at forty, I had no more doubts;
**[06:22] Takasugi**
Who's that?
**[06:23] Young Mikado**
at fifty, I knew the will of heaven."
**[06:23] Seimei**
The emperor, when he was 5 years old.
**[06:26] Instructor**
All right, that's enough for today.
**[06:29] Instructor**
You are destined to become
the leader of this nation.
**[06:33] Instructor**
Always bear that in mind,
and spare no effort in all you do.
**[06:37] Young Mikado**
I know.
**[06:49] Instructor**
What is it?
**[06:59] Instructor**
Why did you let it go?
**[07:04] Young Mikado**
Being stuck in a cage is suffocating.
**[07:07] Young Mikado**
I figured it wanted to fly.
**[07:16] Takasugi**
He seems to have it pretty
rough, even as a kid.
**[07:23] Young Mikado**
Who's there?
**[07:24] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[07:25] Takasugi**
Can he see us?
**[07:26] Seimei**
No.
**[07:33] Young Mikado**
I've never seen you before.
Where'd you come from?
**[07:38] Young Seimei**
Over there.
**[07:40] Young Mikado**
The shrine? I've been told
not to go near there.
**[07:46] Young Seimei**
I saw a pretty bird nearby.
**[08:00] Young Mikado**
You came back?
**[08:03] Young Seimei**
He seems to like it here.
**[08:08] Young Seimei**
Don't you?
**[08:12] Young Mikado**
I guess he does.
**[08:17] Takasugi**
That's you, isn't it? What are you
doing in the imperial palace?
**[08:21] Seimei**
The emperor and I are brothers.
**[08:23] Takasugi**
What?!
**[08:25] Seimei**
Oh, you didn't know that?
**[08:26] Takasugi**
I had no idea!
**[08:29] Seimei**
Well, we were both isolated and raised apart,
**[08:33] Seimei**
so we didn't even know of
each other's existence.
**[08:38] Takasugi**
What does that mean?
**[08:40] Seimei**
Let's go to a month later.
**[08:45] Seimei**
I've always had unusual powers,
ever since I was a child.
**[08:50] Seimei**
There was a factional dispute behind
the scenes at the imperial palace
**[08:53] Seimei**
between those who supported me and were
trying to use my powers for political gain,
**[08:58] Seimei**
and those who supported my
brother and hated my powers.
**[09:01] Takasugi**
I get it. So you were basically enemies.
**[09:04] Seimei**
Yes, which is why we rarely saw each other.
**[09:21] Young Mikado**
Where the heck have you been?
**[09:26] Young Mikado**
What was that?!
**[09:28] Young Seimei**
I learned a new spell.
**[09:30] Young Mikado**
You're amazing!
**[09:33] Young Mikado**
Come with me! There's something
I want to show you.
**[09:38] Takasugi**
You totally just disappeared!
**[09:40] Seimei**
I jumped to the future for a brief moment.
**[09:44] Seimei**
I wasn't fully able to
travel in time yet, though.
**[09:49] Young Mikado**
Look. They're all rare items.
**[09:54] Young Mikado**
You're the first person
I've ever shown these to.
**[09:57] Young Seimei**
What's this?
**[09:59] Young Mikado**
You mean the pocket watch?
**[10:01] Young Seimei**
It doesn't work.
**[10:03] Young Mikado**
No, but it's still neat, right?
**[10:06] Young Seimei**
Yeah.
**[10:08] Young Mikado**
Do you like it?
**[10:11] Young Mikado**
Then you can have it.
**[10:12] Young Seimei**
Huh?
**[10:13] Young Mikado**
Don't you want it?
**[10:16] Young Seimei**
I'd feel bad taking it.
**[10:18] Young Mikado**
You can just borrow it, then.
**[10:21] Young Mikado**
Give it back to me later, okay?
**[10:23] Young Mikado**
Here.
**[10:24] Young Seimei**
Okay... Thanks.
**[10:27] Young Seimei**
I'll bring it back tomorrow.
**[10:28] Young Mikado**
Let's swear on it.
**[10:31] Young Seimei**
Sure.
**[10:35] Takasugi**
Well, that's nice. You two
got along well as kids.
**[10:40] Takasugi**
What about that pocket watch?
**[10:42] Seimei**
Right, on to the next memory.
**[10:48] Takasugi**
Where are we now?
**[10:53] Takasugi**
That's...
**[10:57] Takasugi**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[10:59] Seimei**
I was abducted by the faction that
favored my brother after that.
**[11:03] Takasugi**
That's really bad!
**[11:04] Seimei**
Pretty much.
**[11:05] Takasugi**
"Pretty much"? How are you so...
**[11:11] Man A**
Sorry, but you must die.
**[11:19] Man B**
He disappeared?!
**[11:21] Seimei**
This was the moment my ability
to travel through time awakened,
**[11:25] Seimei**
and I leapt into the future.
**[11:28] Takasugi**
The future?
**[11:29] Seimei**
About 150 years.
**[11:32] Seimei**
Now, let's jump to ten
years after this moment.
**[11:37] Takasugi**
The imperial palace again?
**[11:39] Seimei**
This is just after the emperor's
coronation ceremony.
**[11:50] Young Seimei**
Ow...
**[11:53] Man A**
Intruder!
**[11:54] Man B**
Who are you?!
**[11:57] Young Mikado**
Hold it.
**[12:05] Young Mikado**
Y-You're...
**[12:09] Young Seimei**
I came to give this back.
**[12:14] Young Mikado**
Seimei, is that you?
**[12:16] Young Seimei**
Yes.
**[12:19] Young Mikado**
You're late.
**[12:25] Seimei**
I had just returned from being
150 years in the future.
**[12:29] Takasugi**
You seriously overdid it.
**[12:33] Seimei**
I was granted amnesty by my brother
**[12:36] Seimei**
and began living in the palace again.
**[12:45] Young Mikado**
I can't believe you traveled to the future.
**[12:49] Young Mikado**
Seimei, you're really something.
**[12:53] Young Mikado**
You're free like a bird.
**[12:56] Young Mikado**
If only I could live my life like that...
**[13:00] Young Mikado**
But that's just a pipe dream.
**[13:04] Young Seimei**
Then I'll make your dream come true.
**[13:36] Young Seimei**
It's done.
**[13:38] Young Mikado**
Hey!
**[13:40] Young Seimei**
I used a little too much of my power.
**[13:43] Young Mikado**
Are you okay?
**[13:44] Young Seimei**
Yeah.
**[13:46] Young Seimei**
Now you can fly free, too.
**[13:49] Young Mikado**
What is it?
**[13:52] Young Seimei**
A watch with the power to
control time—the chronometer.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[14:12] Katsura**
He's not here, either.
**[14:14] Katsura**
* It hasn't been that long since*
* Sakamoto-kun disappeared.*
**[14:19] Katsura**
*He should still be nearby.*
**[14:27] Hyo**
We came to check on you since
you hadn't come back yet...
**[14:32] Kasumi**
And here you are, napping with Takasugi.
**[14:35] Hyo**
Come on, wake up. It's time to go home!
**[14:38] Kasumi**
You too, Takasugi! Are you
going to sleep all day?
**[14:47] Hyo**
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
**[14:50] Kasumi**
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
**[15:00] Hyo**
Does this mean...
**[15:02] Kasumi**
Could it be...
**[15:04] Kasumi & Hyo**
They're both dead?!
**[15:10] Takasugi**
I get it now. You made the
chronometer for the emperor.
**[15:15] Seimei**
Yes, but it might have been a mistake.
**[15:21] Takasugi**
Where are we going next?
**[15:23] Takasugi**
The palace again?
**[15:25] Seimei**
Yes, a year after the earlier moment.
**[15:27] Guard A**
Intruder!
**[15:28] Guard B**
Get him!
**[15:30] Takasugi**
What's all the ruckus?
**[15:32] Seimei**
The emperor was attacked by assassins.
**[15:34] Takasugi**
What?! That's definitely not good!
**[15:46] Young Seimei**
Emperor...
**[15:51] Takasugi**
Look out!
**[16:04] Takasugi**
He turned back time?
**[16:06] Seimei**
Yes, but this is what caused the rumors
**[16:09] Seimei**
about the chronometer to spread.
**[16:12] Seimei**
And after that, the chronometer
was targeted countless times.
**[16:17] Seimei**
Each time, we traveled back through
time to catch the criminal,
**[16:21] Seimei**
but there was just no end.
**[16:23] Seimei**
Both he and I often ended
up in dangerous situations,
**[16:27] Seimei**
and there were even killings
within the palace.
**[16:30] Seimei**
People knew that the chronometer
could also be used to control Japan.
**[16:35] Seimei**
I realized that I had made
something truly horrible.
**[16:41] Takasugi**
Why didn't you just destroy—Oh.
**[16:44] Seimei**
Yes, it's self-repairing.
**[16:46] Seimei**
Even if you destroy it,
it will just repair itself.
**[16:49] Takasugi**
Then how...
**[16:51] Seimei**
That's when I had an idea.
**[16:53] Seimei**
I would travel back in time
and get rid of the chronometer.
**[16:57] Takasugi**
Back in time? How far back are we talking?
**[17:00] Seimei**
About two thousand years.
**[17:02] Takasugi**
Two thousand?!
**[17:07] Takasugi**
So this is two thousand years ago?
**[17:12] Seimei**
I traveled to the past and buried
the chronometer deep in the ground.
**[17:19] Seimei**
But the chronometer had already
amassed so much evil energy
**[17:23] Seimei**
that it began to attract
those with evil intent.
**[17:27] Seimei**
Its hiding spot was exposed,
and it traveled through the ages,
**[17:31] Seimei**
passing from person to person,
**[17:34] Seimei**
becoming deeply stained by greed and malice,
**[17:36] Seimei**
until it turned into a sinister object
that amplified the wicked thoughts
**[17:40] Seimei**
that lay hidden in the heart of its owner.
**[17:43] Takasugi**
So that's what happened.
**[17:47] Takasugi**
What's going on?
**[17:49] Seimei**
Looks like I've hit my limit.
**[17:57] Hyo**
What do you think?
**[17:59] Yamazaki**
They both have a pulse, and they're
breathing, so they're fine.
**[18:03] Yamazaki**
They're just deep asleep.
**[18:05] Kasumi**
Oh, thank goodness.
**[18:07] Hyo**
What a relief.
**[18:11] Kasumi & Hyo**
He's awake!
**[18:13] Takasugi**
Where am I?
**[18:14] Yamazaki**
Not quite awake yet, are you?
This is your room.
**[18:18] Takasugi**
I see. So I made it back.
**[18:21] Takasugi**
I'm not see-through anymore, either.
**[18:25] Yamazaki**
What does that mean?
**[18:27] Takasugi**
Seimei's still asleep, huh?
**[18:31] Takasugi**
I went back to the past with Seimei and
saw some pretty interesting things.
**[18:36] Yamazaki**
What?
**[18:37] Kasumi**
What did you see?
**[18:41] Takasugi**
The moment the chronometer was created.
**[18:44] Takasugi**
Wanna hear about it?
**[18:45] Yamazaki**
Of course.
**[18:47] Takasugi**
Then buy me some soba.
**[18:49] Yamazaki**
Huh?
**[18:49] Takasugi**
And a large order of tempura.
**[18:51] Takasugi**
Oh, and some inari sushi, too.
**[18:53] Yamazaki**
Excuse me?
**[19:04] Katsura**
I've been looking for you.
**[19:06] Katsura**
You're going to take me
to where Sakamoto-kun is.
**[19:10] Katsura**
He's the one who has
the chronometer, isn't he?
**[19:16] Izo**
What are you talking about?
**[21:01] Katsura**
Hi there. I'm Katsura Kogoro.
**[21:03] Takasugi**
And I'm Takasugi Shinsaku.
**[21:04] Katsura**
We were summoned by the emperor,
**[21:06] Katsura**
who has far too much time on
his hands, to play the king game.
**[21:10] Mikado**
What are you two grumbling
about? We're still playing.
**[21:13] All**
Ready, set... Who will be king?
**[21:16] Mikado**
It's me!
**[21:17] Takasugi**
Oh, come on! You've been king
several times in a row now.
**[21:20] Mikado**
Number two, hit number one with a fan!
**[21:22] Takasugi**
But I'm number one!
**[21:24] Katsura**
I can't hit Shinsaku with a fan!
**[21:27] ---**
Ow!
**[21:28] Katsura**
That was a pleasant sound.
**[21:29] Takasugi**
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
**[21:31] Katsura**
Of course not.
**[21:32] Takasugi**
You're totally grinning, though!
**[21:34] Takasugi**
How much longer are we going to play this?
**[21:36] Mikado**
Until I'm tired of it!
**[21:37] Takasugi**
Damn it! I'm definitely winning this round!
**[21:40] All**
Ready, set... Who will be king?
**[21:43] Mikado**
I knew it.
**[21:44] Takasugi**
What the hell?!
**[21:46] Mikado**
Number two, tell us a
really embarrassing story.
**[21:49] Takasugi**
I don't have any embarrassing stories!
**[21:51] Katsura**
Oh, please. You have lots of them.
**[21:53] Katsura**
What about the time you secretly ate
my daifuku and got an upset stomach?
**[21:57] Takasugi**
How do you—
**[21:58] Katsura**
You mistook the wall for the toilet,
turned to it, and—
**[22:01] Takasugi**
But I managed to wake up
just in time, so I didn't!
**[22:04] Takasugi**
How do you know about that, anyway?!
**[22:07] Katsura**
I know everything.
**[22:09] Mikado**
You have some pretty
embarrassing tales, all right.
**[22:12] Takasugi**
Shaddup!
**[22:14] Takasugi**
You two are gonna get it this time!
**[22:16] All**
Ready, set... Who will be king?
**[22:19] Mikado**
It's me!
**[22:20] Takasugi**
Damn it!
**[22:21] Mikado**
Number one, close your eyes.
**[22:23] Takasugi**
Like this?
**[22:24] Mikado**
Kiss number two.
**[22:25] Takasugi**
Huh?!
**[22:26] Katsura**
I refuse.
**[22:27] Takasugi**
I don't want to, either!
**[22:29] Mikado**
The king's orders are absolute.
**[22:33] Katsura**
Wait! I know what to do!
**[22:35] Katsura**
Shinsaku, close your eyes.
**[22:36] Takasugi**
What?!
**[22:37] Katsura**
It'll be fine. Just trust me.
**[22:47] Katsura**
Whew. I made it through that.
**[22:49] Takasugi**
Well, *I* didn't!
**[22:51] Takasagi**
Man, is the king game always this exhausting?
**[22:54] Mikado**
I'm getting tired of it, anyway.
I guess we'll stop now.
**[22:57] Takasugi**
I haven't gotten you back yet!
**[23:00] Takasugi**
Hang on a sec...
**[23:02] Takasugi**
Don't tell me... Seimei went into his spirit form
**[23:05] Takasugi**
and told you which sticks to pick?
**[23:07] Mikado**
Gulp.
**[23:08] Seimei**
You figured it out.
**[23:10] Takasugi**
I knew it!
**[23:11] Takasugi**
Hey, Emperor, I see through
all your little tricks!
**[23:14] Mikado**
Looks like I've been found out.
**[23:17] Takasugi**
I can be king now that you're
not cheating anymore!
**[23:20] Mikado**
Have you forgotten? I was chosen
for this role before I was even born!
**[23:24] Katsura**
Then let's have Seimei join us and go again.
**[23:26] All**
Ready, set... Who will be king?
**[23:29] Seimei**
It's me.
**[23:31] Takasugi**
It's Seimei now?
**[23:32] Mikado**
What is your command?
**[23:34] Takasugi**
You're not going to make us kiss, are you?
**[23:36] Katsura**
I refuse.
**[23:37] Takasugi**
That's what I was going to say!
**[23:38] Seimei**
The king would like...
**[23:40] Seimei**
to take a nap with everyone.
**[23:43] Others**
Huh?
**[23:44] Takasugi**
A nap? But it's nighttime.
**[23:46] Seimei**
Goodnight.
**[23:50] Kondo**
I am a warrior wholly dedicated
to serving my master.
**[23:55] Katsura**
Next time on episode 8 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Yoshinobu's Thoughts and Kondo's Feelings
**[23:58] Katsura**
"Yoshinobu's Thoughts and Kondo's Feelings."
**[24:01] Yoshinobu**

**[00:03] Katsura**
I've been looking for you.
**[00:05] Katsura**
You're going to take me
to where Sakamoto-kun is.
**[00:09] Katsura**
He's the one who has
the chronometer, isn't he?
**[00:14] Izo**
What are you talking about?
**[00:29] Katsura**
Let me see Sakamoto-kun!
**[00:30] Izo**
Not a chance.
**[00:32] Katsura**
What is he going to do with the chronometer?!
**[00:34] Izo**
I don't have to tell you anything.
**[01:01] Katsura**
Huh?
**[01:03] Katsura**
*That sensation... Time was turned back?*
**[01:09] Katsura**
*The sliced bamboo is whole again.*
**[01:13] Katsura**
* You used the chronometer,*
* didn't you, Sakamoto-kun?*
***SIGN*** Udon
**[01:19] Sakamoto**
I was thinking about getting some udon,
**[01:22] Sakamoto**
but you weren't at the hideout, so I
turned back time to just before you left.
**[01:28] Izo**
Are you saying you used the
chronometer just for that?
**[01:35] Izo**
Katsura-san is looking for us.
**[01:37] Sakamoto**
That can't be good.
**[01:40] Sakamoto**
Well, for now, let's dig in.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Yoshinobu's Thoughts and Kondo's Feelings
**[03:22] Takasugi**
A world without anything interesting is—
**[03:28] Takasugi**
*This feeling... The chronometer's been used?*
**[03:31] Takasugi**
*So someone definitely has it, then.*
**[03:34] Takasugi**
Hey, Katsura.
**[03:37] Takasugi**
That's right, Katsura's out right now.
**[03:41] Takasugi**
And Seimei is still passed out.
**[03:45] Takasugi**
He must've used up a lot of strength.
**[03:50] Takasugi**
But Katsura sure is late.
**[03:52] Takasugi**
Where the heck did he wander off to?
***SIGN*** Udon
**[03:58] Izo**
What are you going to do now?
**[04:01] Sakamoto**
About what?
**[04:02] Izo**
Katsura-san asked me something similar.
**[04:05] Izo**
"How are you going to use the
chronometer now that you have it?"
**[04:12] Sakamoto**
I was thinking about helping out Takasugi-san
**[04:15] Sakamoto**
with returning time back to
its proper flow and whatnot.
**[04:19] Sakamoto**
But after hearing Katsura-san's side
of things, I can't really do that.
**[04:26] Izo**
What do you mean?
**[04:27] Sakamoto**
Katsura-san told me that he saw what
happens after time is restored.
**[04:33] Izo**
What happens after time is restored?
**[04:38] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san will die then.
**[04:44] Sakamoto**
That's what'll happen if I grant his wish.
**[04:51] Sakamoto**
Pretty troubling, isn't it?
**[04:58] Sakamoto**
So, what am I supposed to do?
**[05:04] Sakamoto**
Aren't you going to eat, Izo?
You'd better eat before the noodles get soggy.
**[05:09] Sakamoto**
Should I turn back time before they do?
**[05:12] Izo**
Idiot! Don't!
**[05:13] Sakamoto**
What the heck, Izo? It's just a joke!
***SIGN*** This shamo nabe is great, Nakaoka-kun.
***SIGN*** It could fend off a cold!
**[05:36] Nakaoka**
I'm glad you like it.
**[05:38] Nakaoka**
With imperial rule finally restored,
**[05:40] Nakaoka**
we can't have one of its leading
figures catching a cold, can we?
***SIGN*** You said it!
***SIGN*** What's all that racket?
***SIGN*** The hell?!
**[05:52] Assassin A**
Get them!
**[06:12] Sakamoto**
What was that?
**[06:16] Izo**
If that's the correct timeline
that Katsura-san saw,
**[06:20] Izo**
and that's what is actually
going to happen...
**[06:27] Sakamoto**
Then that's how I'm going to die.
**[06:38] Yamazaki**
Yoshinobu-sama.
**[06:40] Yoshinobu**
Susumu? Come in.
**[06:44] Yamazaki**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[06:45] Yoshinobu**
How did you fare?
**[06:47] Yamazaki**
Forgive me. I had a bit of trouble.
**[06:51] Yoshinobu**
I see.
**[06:53] Yoshinobu**
Do your best not to let it be discovered
**[06:56] Yoshinobu**
that I'm trying to contact him.
**[06:58] Yamazaki**
Yes, sir.
**[06:59] Yoshinobu**
Thank you for your help.
I'll finish my letter shortly.
**[07:04] Yamazaki**
Understood.
**[07:09] Sakamoto**
It's kinda ironic, isn't it?
**[07:12] Sakamoto**
I get my hands on the treasure
that can control time,
**[07:14] Sakamoto**
and it shows me how I'm going to die.
**[07:17] Sakamoto**
I shouldn't have wasted
my time worrying about
**[07:19] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san and Katsura-san, I guess.
**[07:21] Izo**
You're awfully blasé about this.
**[07:25] Sakamoto**
I didn't expect to meet my end so soon.
**[07:31] Sakamoto**
This world is vague, anyway.
**[07:34] Sakamoto**
It's incoherent and elusive.
**[07:37] Sakamoto**
Takasugi-san is trying to lead
it in the right direction.
**[07:41] Sakamoto**
It's pretty impressive.
**[07:43] Izo**
Are you going to help him, then?
**[07:46] Izo**
With the chronometer, he could definitely
return time to its proper flow.
**[07:51] Izo**
But if he does—
**[07:52] Sakamoto**
I know.
**[07:53] Izo**
Then what are you going to do?
**[07:57] Sakamoto**
I'm going to think about it.
**[08:01] Izo**
Ryoma...
**[08:03] Sakamoto**
But I'll be the one to decide
**[08:08] Sakamoto**
what's right and what's interesting.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[08:25] Katsura**
What's Seimei doing here?
**[08:28] Takasugi**
Well, let's just say it's complicated.
**[08:31] Takasugi**
Where have you been, anyway?
**[08:35] Katsura**
I was just out for a bit.
**[08:37] Takasugi**
All night long?
**[08:38] Katsura**
What are you insinuating?
**[08:40] Takasugi**
Katsura, you've been hiding
something from me, haven't you?
**[08:46] Katsura**
What are you talking about?
**[08:48] Takasugi**
I'm asking you because I don't know.
Look me in the eye and answer me.
**[08:53] Katsura**
I'm not hiding anything.
**[08:59] Takasugi**
I felt time being turned back last night.
**[09:03] Katsura**
Maybe you were just imagining
things? I didn't feel anything.
**[09:06] Takasugi**
Where were you then?
**[09:08] Katsura**
Where was I?
**[09:10] Katsura**
I told you, I didn't feel anything.
**[09:13] Takasugi**
Then what were you doing?
**[09:14] Katsura**
What does it matter?!
**[09:16] Takasugi**
Listen, Katsura.
**[09:17] Takasugi**
We're supposed to be focusing on getting
the chronometer as soon as possible,
**[09:21] Takasugi**
and restoring this world's
timeline its proper course.
**[09:25] Takasugi**
That was what Master Shoin wanted, as well.
**[09:28] Katsura**
Yes, I know.
**[09:30] Takasugi**
As his students, we inherited his dying
wish, so we have to work together.
**[09:35] Takasugi**
And yet you still insist on keeping
things from me, even now?
**[09:38] Katsura**
Look, I told you...
**[09:41] Takasugi**
How long do you think
we've known each other?
**[09:44] Takasugi**
You really think I couldn't tell?
**[09:46] Takasugi**
What the hell are you playing at?!
**[09:49] Katsura**
That's enough.
**[09:51] Katsura**
So, what, then? Am I supposed to share
every little detail with you about everything?
**[09:56] Katsura**
Are you telling me I'm not
allowed to do as I see fit?
**[09:58] Takasugi**
That's not what I'm saying!
**[10:00] Takasugi**
I'm saying I don't like you keeping
things about the chronometer from me!
**[10:07] Katsura**
You're the one who always mistreats me.
**[10:12] Katsura**
You have no regard for anyone else.
**[10:16] Katsura**
You're a dumbass, Shinsaku!
**[10:20] Takasugi**
Excuse me?! Say that again, I dare you!
**[10:23] Katsura**
I'll say it as many times as
I have to! You're a dumbass!
**[10:28] Takasugi**
Damn you!
**[10:32] Katsura**
Bastard!
**[10:36] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[10:37] Kasumi & Hyo**
We've come to see how Seimei is doing—wha?!
**[10:41] Kasumi & Hyo**
What are you two doing?!
**[10:43] Kasumi**
Stop fighting!
**[10:45] Hyo**
Let it go!
**[10:47] Kasumi**
Good grief, what is going on with you two?
**[10:50] Hyo**
Has something happened?
**[10:56] Takasugi**
It's nothing.
**[10:58] Katsura**
Sorry. Everything's fine.
**[11:02] Takasugi**
What do you two want, anyway?
**[11:04] Takasugi**
If you're looking for Seimei, he's still asleep.
**[11:09] Kasumi**
Doesn't look like he'll
wake up anytime soon.
**[11:11] Hyo**
Do you mind if he stays
here for a while longer?
**[11:16] Takasugi**
No, we don't mind. Right, Katsura?
**[11:20] Katsura**
Not at all.
**[11:38] Yamazaki**
You're walking rather slowly.
**[11:42] Kondo**
I've been summoned by the former
master I had parted ways with.
**[11:46] Kondo**
You understand my reluctance.
**[11:49] Kondo**
Nonetheless, I knew you were bold,
but I didn't foresee you
**[11:52] Kondo**
sneaking into our headquarters where
hundreds of our men are gathered.
**[11:56] Kondo**
I was shocked when your face
appeared from the attic in my room.
**[12:02] Yamazaki**
I promised Yoshinobu-sama that I would
do whatever it took to bring you to him.
**[12:09] Kondo**
Still devoted as ever, I see.
**[12:11] Yamazaki**
I used to think the same
thing about you, Kondo-san.
**[12:23] Yamazaki**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[12:28] Yamazaki**
I've brought him.
**[12:30] Kondo**
Kondo Isami, commander of the
Shinsengumi, reporting as requested.
**[12:35] Yoshinobu**
It's been a while, Kondo-kun.
**[12:39] Yoshinobu**
Thank you for coming.
**[12:43] Kondo**
First, allow me to apologize.
**[12:47] Yoshinobu**
Apologize?
**[12:49] Kondo**
It was entirely my decision to follow
a new master without your permission.
**[12:58] Yoshinobu**
That's what you meant?
**[13:00] Yoshinobu**
Don't trouble yourself. You're still
keeping your promise to me, even now.
**[13:05] Kondo**
Sir?
**[13:07] Yoshinobu**
I am the one who ordered
you to survive, after all.
**(Flashback) [13:13] Yoshinobu**
This is an order, Kondo.
**(Flashback) [13:17] Yoshinobu**
Survive, no matter what happens.
**[13:24] Yoshinobu**
That was what was best for you and
the Shinsengumi that you hold dear.
**[13:37] Kondo**
What did you want to speak to me about?
**[13:39] Yoshinobu**
Have you ever wondered what things
should be like here in Kyoto...
**[13:45] Yoshinobu**
no, here in Japan?
**[13:47] Kondo**
I am a warrior wholly dedicated
to serving my master.
**[13:52] Kondo**
A mere soldier doesn't have
a say in the way things are run.
**[13:55] Yoshinobu**
I figured you'd say something like that.
**[13:57] Yoshinobu**
But I believe that way of
thinking itself should change.
**[14:02] Kondo**
What do you mean?
**[14:04] Yoshinobu**
In the coming world, there will
be no way for one's standing
**[14:08] Yoshinobu**
to determine the life one lives.
**[14:11] Yoshinobu**
Everyone will be born equal,
and anyone can be involved in politics.
**[14:15] Yoshinobu**
All will determine how the country should be
and bear responsibility for their decisions.
**[14:20] Yoshinobu**
These are the kinds of ideas
that are needed in a new world.
**[14:24] Yoshinobu**
And only with that sort of system
**[14:27] Yoshinobu**
will the world be eternally at peace.
**[14:31] Yoshinobu**
Don't you agree?
**[14:35] Kondo**
That is quite the idea.
**[14:38] Kondo**
You said it would be a peaceful world.
**[14:43] Kondo**
But that is precisely
what a warrior protects.
**[14:46] Kondo**
It is our mission to protect
the world as it is now.
**[14:52] Yoshinobu**
But, Kondo-kun, surely even you
must have come to understand...
**[14:57] Yoshinobu**
The age of the warrior initiated by
Gongen-sama has continued for 250 years,
**[15:01] Yoshinobu**
but can we really expect it to
keep going for 500 years?
***SIGN*** Mugensai-dono
**[15:17] Kondo**
What is this?
**[15:18] Yoshinobu**
It is high time that Japan was reborn anew.
**[15:23] Yoshinobu**
The first step will be to reorganize the
roles of those involved in the government.
**[15:29] Yoshinobu**
This is the plan I have come up with myself.
**[15:32] Yoshinobu**
Kondo-kun, would you be willing to
pass this on to Mugensai-dono for me?
**[15:38] Kondo**
A new Japan?
**[15:42] Mikado**
I'm asking this favor of you, too.
**[15:45] Kondo**
Emperor!
**[15:49] Yoshinobu**
My emperor, forgive me for troubling
you with my rude request.
**[15:54] Mikado**
I don't mind at all.
**[15:57] Mikado**
Making Japan anew, though...
**[16:02] Mikado**
I've become fed up with the way
of life that's been thrust on me.
**[16:06] Mikado**
Hey, Kondo, at least try
to tell Mugensai about
**[16:11] Mikado**
the new world Yoshinobu has envisioned.
**[16:39] Kondo**
Forgive me, Yoshinobu-sama.
**[16:43] Kondo**
Emperor, you will come with
me to my master's castle.
**[16:48] Yoshinobu**
Kondo-kun?
**[16:51] Mikado**
You...
**[16:54] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama desires your presence
**[16:57] Kondo**
in order to make a true warrior world.
**(Flashback) [17:02] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama, Yamazaki
Susumu has approached me.
**(Flashback) [17:07] Mugensai**
What?
**(Flashback) [17:09] Kondo**
He told me that Lord Yoshinobu
wishes to meet with me in secret.
**(Flashback) [17:15] Mugensai**
Yoshinobu does?
**(Flashback) [17:17] Ranmaru**
You don't actually intend
to meet with him, do you?
**(Flashback) [17:20] Ranmaru**
Is being summoned by your former master
suddenly causing your devotion to waver?
**(Flashback) [17:25] Kondo**
No, my master is Mugensai-sama,
and him alone.
**(Flashback) [17:29] Kondo**
That is why I have reported to him and
am requesting his orders on this matter.
**(Flashback) [17:35] Mugensai**
Kondo, accept Yoshinobu's request.
**(Flashback) [17:40] Mugensai**
This is the perfect opportunity.
**(Flashback) [17:42] Mugensai**
The emperor should also be attending
this secret meeting with Yoshinobu.
**(Flashback) [17:47] Mugensai**
Capture him and bring him to me!
**(Flashback) [17:50] Kondo**
Yes, sir.
**[17:54] Kondo**
Emperor, you will come with me.
**[18:01] Yamazaki**
I'm disappointed in you, Kondo-san!
**[18:03] Yamazaki**
I thought Yoshinobu-sama was
someone important to you, as well!
**[18:06] Kondo**
Of course he is, and those
feelings will never change.
**[18:10] Kondo**
But that is only because of Mugensai-sama.
**[18:13] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama and the emperor...
With the two of them together,
**[18:16] Kondo**
our warrior world will
begin to gain stability.
**[18:19] Kondo**
Yoshinobu-sama's peace
can only be gained then.
**[18:22] Yamazaki**
What you're talking about is
beyond absurd, you traitor!
**[18:29] Yamazaki**
Get out of my way!
**[18:40] Yoshinobu**
Susumu!
**[18:41] Mikado**
Yamazaki!
**[18:44] Kondo**
I hit you with the back of my blade,
but you probably broke a few ribs.
**[18:51] Yamazaki**
Kondo...
**[18:58] Kondo**
Emperor, come with us.
**[19:02] Mikado**
Fine. I will do as you say.
**[19:03] Yoshinobu**
Emperor!
**[19:05] Mikado**
Don't worry.
**[19:07] Mikado**
I'll tell Mugensai about your plans myself.
**[19:14] Mikado**
Please take care of Yamazaki.
**[19:19] Yamazaki**
Emperor...
**[19:23] Yoshinobu**
Susumu!
**[21:00] Izo**
Ryoma, don't use the chronometer
on pointless things.
**[21:04] Sakamoto**
What're you talking about?
**[21:05] Izo**
The udon, remember?
**[21:06] Izo**
You said you turned back time
**[21:08] Izo**
because you wanted to eat
udon and I wasn't there.
**[21:10] Sakamoto**
Oh, yeah, that's right.
**[21:12] Izo**
It's not a good idea to use the
chronometer on things like that.
**[21:14] Sakamoto**
Really? But it's not like
it could hurt anything,
**[21:17] Sakamoto**
and no one can really criticize me for it,
**[21:20] Sakamoto**
so what does it matter what I use it on?
**[21:22] Izo**
It does matter.
**[21:24] Izo**
I get the feeling it will have
some bearing on the story.
**[21:27] Sakamoto**
That's just a hunch you have.
**[21:29] Sakamoto**
Well, when can I use it, then?
**[21:31] Izo**
Nothing comes to mind at the moment...
**[21:33] Sakamoto**
See? Told ya.
**[21:34] Izo**
But there has to be a better way to use it.
**[21:36] Sakamoto**
Like when I want to eat udon.
**[21:39] Izo**
Forget about the udon.
**[21:41] Sakamoto**
What if I press the button when
I feel a drop of rain on my collar?
**[21:44] Izo**
Denied.
**[21:45] Sakamoto**
Then what about when I'm going to eat udon...
**[21:48] Izo**
I just said...
**[21:49] Sakamoto**
...and, oh, no! A sudden downpour!
**[21:51] Sakamoto**
What if I press the button to
go back and get my umbrella?
**[21:53] Izo**
Definitely denied.
**[21:55] Sakamoto**
What if I press it when
I cut my bangs too short?
**[21:57] Izo**
You just keep coming up
with ridiculous examples!
**[22:00] Sakamoto**
How are they ridiculous?
I'm the one who gets to decide.
**[22:04] Izo**
You can't just smooth-talk
your way out of this.
**[22:06] Sakamoto**
Jeez... How would you use it, then?
**[22:10] Izo**
Well, for example...
**[22:11] Sakamoto**
For example?
**[22:12] Izo**
I would pick more meaningful,
**[22:14] Izo**
and truly serious moments.
**[22:17] Izo**
Moments where I'll regret
it if I don't use it.
**[22:20] Sakamoto**
Yeah? Such as?
**[22:21] Izo**
Like if I took a nap in the grass,
and suddenly it was night.
**[22:24] Sakamoto**
Makes sense! Click!
**[22:26] Izo**
Or when you start dating someone,
**[22:27] Izo**
but later, they say they want to break up.
**[22:29] Sakamoto**
That's not good! Click!
**[22:31] Izo**
Or if the lid to the soy sauce came off,
**[22:33] Izo**
and it got all over my favorite
boiled fish I'd made.
**[22:36] Sakamoto**
You'd press it then?!
**[22:38] Sakamoto**
You're no different than me!
**[22:40] Izo**
What? These things are important!
**[22:42] Izo**
It would make a mess of the
fish I worked so hard on!
**[22:44] Izo**
This is boiled fish I'm
talking about! Boiled fish!
**[22:46] Sakamoto**
Oh, shut up!
**[22:48] Sakamoto**
You totally lose all perspective
when it comes to boiled fish.
**[22:51] Izo**
Speaking of, I bought some yellowtail.
**[22:53] Sakamoto**
Huh?
**[22:54] Izo**
I had the freshest yellowtail
reserved for me at the market.
**[22:57] Sakamoto**
Is that so?
**[22:58] Izo**
It was nice and plump, too.
**[23:00] Izo**
It would make delicious stock...
**[23:04] Izo**
What's that smell?
**[23:05] Sakamoto**
Well, I felt bad about you
making dinner all the time,
**[23:09] Sakamoto**
so I thought I'd make dinner tonight.
**[23:12] Sakamoto**
And there was some good
yellowtail in the kitchen.
**[23:15] Sakamoto**
Wow, it looks so good!
**[23:17] Sakamoto**
The fat is sizzling, the skin
is well-done and golden brown,
**[23:19] Sakamoto**
and the inside is piping
hot, soft and flaky!
**[23:22] Izo**
So you grilled them?
**[23:23] Izo**
You grilled the yellowtail I was saving?
**[23:27] Sakamoto**
Don't look at me with murder in your eyes.
**[23:28] Izo**
Hand it over.
**[23:29] Sakamoto**
Huh?
**[23:30] Izo**
Get out the chronometer, Ryoma!
**[23:32] Izo**
Go back! Go back in time to before
you grilled my yellowtail!
**[23:35] Sakamoto**
Stop it, Izo!
**[23:36] Izo**
You won't get away with this, Ryoma!
**[23:43] Izo**
Ryoma, don't use the chronometer
on pointless things.
**[23:46] Sakamoto**
What're you talking about?
**[23:50] Kondo**
The age of the warrior will end?
**[23:52] Hijikata**
A pure person who wanders
through the eternity of time...

**[00:02] Okita**
You know where Sakamoto Ryoma is hiding?
**[00:05] Soldier C**
Yes, sir! And it appears
that Okada Izo is with him.
**[00:10] Soldier A**
What should we do?
**[00:11] Soldier B**
We should report to the commander first.
**[00:13] Okita**
No, we'll go make sure ourselves.
**[00:17] Okita**
Sakamoto Ryoma and the assassin Izo
**[00:20] Okita**
are both opponents I'm
closely linked to, after all.

**[02:03] Ranmaru**
Kondo Isami will be returning
with the emperor shortly.
**[02:08] Mugensai**
I see. Make sure he's treated with respect.
**[02:11] Ranmaru**
Yes, sir.
**[02:13] Mugensai**
Now I have the imperial standard.
**[02:17] Ranmaru**
What's the matter, sir?
**[02:27] Mugensai**
*It's calling to me?*
**[02:33] Mugensai**
We're leaving immediately, Ranmaru.
**[02:36] Ranmaru**
Y-Yes, sir, but where are we going?
**[02:40] Mugensai**
That should be obvious.
**[02:43] Mugensai**
To where the chronometer is.
**[02:53] Yoshinobu**
How is he?
**[02:54] Kasumi**
His life isn't in any danger...
**[02:58] Hyo**
But he won't be able to move for a while.
**[03:02] Yoshinobu**
I see...
**[03:09] Yoshinobu**
*I'm sorry, Susumu. It's all my fault.*
**[03:19] Okita**
Hiding out in an abandoned place like
this... He's thought this through.
**[03:24] Okita**
Let's check around back first.
**[03:28] Soldier B**
M-Mugensai-sama?
**[03:30] Okita**
How unusual for you to show up yourself.
What inspired this turn of events?
**[03:35] Okita**
And why are you here?
**[03:37] Mugensai**
The chronometer.
**[03:39] Okita**
Huh?
**[03:41] Mugensai**
Sakamoto most likely has the chronometer.
**[03:44] Soldier A**
What?
**[03:46] Mugensai**
Take care of this at once.
**[03:49] Soldiers**
Yes, sir!
**[03:58] Izo**
Be careful.
**[04:00] Izo**
The Shinsengumi are here.
**[04:02] Sakamoto**
Whatever. They're not a problem.
**[04:06] Sakamoto**
As long as I've got this...
**[04:16] Sakamoto**
On second thought, let's not.
**[04:18] Izo**
What will you do?
**[04:20] Sakamoto**
Gonna have to use this.
**[04:24] Izo**
What? There are two chronometers?
**[04:26] Izo**
How...
**[04:28] Sakamoto**
Do you remember, Izo?
**[04:30] Sakamoto**
When we clashed with the
previous Mugensai at Kinkakuji?
**(Flashback) [04:38] Takasugi**
Let me see.
**(Flashback) [04:41] Takasugi**
This isn't the chronometer.
**(Flashback) [04:45] Katsura**
It's fake?
**(Flashback) [04:46] Takasugi**
Yeah...
**(Flashback) [04:47] Sakamoto**
What?!
**(Flashback) [04:49] Sakamoto**
Damn it!
**[04:52] Izo**
The fake one from then?
**[04:54] Sakamoto**
That's right.
**[04:56] Izo**
You didn't get rid of it?
**[05:01] Sakamoto**
I always hold on to my
trump card until the end.
**[05:08] Soldier A**
Where are they?
**[05:10] Soldier B**
Upstairs?
**[05:17] Sakamoto**
Got 'em!
**[05:26] Sakamoto**
Even Mugensai is with them!
**[05:28] Sakamoto**
En garde!
**[05:32] Sakamoto**
What the heck? It clashed
with another bullet?
**[05:37] Ranmaru**
Don't assume you're the
only one who uses a gun.
**[05:51] Ranmaru**
They escaped?
**[05:54] Ranmaru**
Such underhanded tactics...
**[05:59] Sakamoto**
That worked out well.
**[06:04] Okita**
I would disagree.
**[06:07] Sakamoto**
Okita Soji!
**[06:09] Sakamoto**
You're here, too?
**[06:11] Ranmaru**
You won't get away.
**[06:14] Ranmaru**
Give it up already.
**[06:16] Sakamoto**
Oh, come on! They caught up already?
**[06:20] Okita**
Well, what's it going to be?
**[06:24] Sakamoto**
Good point.
**[06:26] Sakamoto**
I should probably just give you the
chronometer and beg for my life...
**[06:31] Sakamoto**
Or not.
**[06:39] Okita**
I'll go after Sakamoto!
**[06:40] Mugensai**
Wait.
**[06:42] Mugensai**
We're going after...
**[06:54] Izo**
So you're the only one who came after me?
**[06:58] Ranmaru**
No.
**[07:02] Izo**
What?!
**[07:05] Izo**
*All three of them came after me?*
**[07:08] Okita**
Izo the assassin, let's do this.
**[07:13] Mugensai**
Since I'm here, I'll handle him myself.
**[07:16] Okita**
Mugensai-sama?
**[07:31] Okita**
Mugensai-sama!
**[07:32] Mugensai**
Don't interfere!
**[07:47] Okita**
This...
**[07:49] Okita**
This fighting style...
**[07:51] Okita**
It's like an ordinary brawl.
**[08:16] Mugensai**
Izo the assassin, is that all you've got?!
**[08:28] Mugensai**
I knew you had it.
**[08:32] Izo**
Unfortunately for you, that's a fake.
**[08:36] Mugensai**
What?
**(Flashback) [08:42] Sakamoto**
Here.
**(Flashback) [08:44] Izo**
I'm going to be the decoy?
**[08:51] Izo**
The real one is safe with Ryoma.
**[08:57] Mugensai**
I can feel it! Its heartbeat! Its pulse!
**[09:03] Mugensai**
This chronometer is
**[09:05] Mugensai**
the real one!
**[09:09] Ranmaru**
Mugensai-sama, this means...
**[09:11] Mugensai**
Yes.
**[09:12] Mugensai**
I have both the imperial standard
and the chronometer now.
**[09:28] Mugensai**
Let's head back.
**[09:29] Ranmaru**
Yes, sir. What should I do with Izo?
**[09:32] Mugensai**
I'm done with him. Do as you wish.
**[09:37] Ranmaru**
You heard the man.
**[09:52] Izo**
*Ryoma...*
**[09:54] Izo**
*Why did you give me the real one?*
**[09:59] Izo**
*I was just supposed to be...*
**[10:07] Izo**
*Ryoma...*
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[10:18] Takasugi**
What?
**[10:20] Takasugi**
The emperor was taken away?
**[10:22] Katsura**
By Kondo-san...
**[10:25] Yoshinobu**
I brought all this upon us
through my ineptitude.
**[10:29] Yoshinobu**
That's why I called you all here with
the hope of going to save the emperor.
**[10:36] Yoshinobu**
Is something wrong? You two are
sitting awfully far apart today.
**[10:39] Katsura**
A-Are we?
**[10:41] Takasugi**
You're just imagining it.
**[10:44] Kasumi**
Are you two still fighting?
**[10:46] Hyo**
Give it a rest and make amends already.
**[10:49] Yoshinobu**
Fighting?
**[10:50] Takasugi**
We're not exactly fighting.
**[10:53] Katsura**
R-Right. Everything's totally fine, as usual.
**[10:57] Kasumi**
Hyo and I have to look after Susumu,
so we can't go save the emperor.
**[11:02] Hyo**
We're counting on you to do it.
**[11:06] Katsura**
Right, got it.
**[11:06] Takasugi**
Leave it to us!
**[11:17] Kondo**
Pardon the interruption.
**[11:21] Kondo**
Is there anything you find unsatisfactory?
**[11:23] Mikado**
Let's see...
**[11:25] Mikado**
I can't see the sky, so I don't
know when it's night or day.
**[11:29] Kondo**
My apologies.
**[11:31] Mikado**
I'm kidding.
**[11:33] Mikado**
So? When will I meet with Mugensai?
**[11:37] Kondo**
I will look into it and return to let you know.
**[11:41] Kondo**
Until then.
**[11:47] Mikado**
*Kondo...*
**[11:50] Mikado**
*You...*
**[11:52] Okita**
Kondo-san!
**[11:55] Kondo**
Soji. I hear you succeeded
in getting the chronometer.
**[11:59] Okita**
We did.
**[12:00] Kondo**
Mugensai-sama must be pleased.
**[12:04] Okita**
Actually, about Mugensai-sama...
**[12:09] Kondo**
What is it?
**[12:10] Okita**
The truth is...
**[12:15] Kondo**
I see.
**[12:16] Okita**
That fighting style... There's no mistaking it.
**[12:25] Okita**
Mugensai-sama is...
**[12:30] Kondo**
I thought as much.
**[12:32] Okita**
You did? You noticed it, Kondo-san?
**[12:36] Kondo**
Calm down. I'll try speaking with him myself.
**[12:48] Kondo**
So this is where you've been.
**[12:53] Mugensai**
Perfect timing. I have
something I want to show you.
**[13:02] Mugensai**
It's finally in my possession.
**[13:05] Mugensai**
Getting it was a lot of trouble...
**[13:08] Mugensai**
But now I can create a nation of
warriors that will endure forever!
**[13:17] Kondo**
I'm happy for you, Toshi.
**[13:39] Kondo**
So it *is* you.
**[13:42] Hijikata**
I can never hide anything from you.
**[13:45] Kondo**
Why, Toshi?
**[13:47] Kondo**
Why did you don a fake mask and
become the lord of this castle?
**[13:54] Hijikata**
It's simple, really.
**[13:56] Hijikata**
I seized control of this castle and
everything in it on behalf of Mugensai,
**[14:00] Hijikata**
and made it so that the Shinsengumi
was at the center of the Susanoo army.
**[14:05] Kondo**
Us?
**[14:06] Hijikata**
Yes. I did it all to create
a nation of true warriors.
**[14:13] Hijikata**
I saw it.
**[14:15] Hijikata**
No, I was shown it.
**[14:17] Hijikata**
The proper timeline where
the age of the warrior ends.
**[14:35] Kondo**
The age of the warrior will end?
**[14:37] Hijikata**
No, that's irrelevant now.
**[14:42] Hijikata**
Because I have the chronometer.
**[14:46] Hijikata**
The emperor is also in my grasp,
which means the stage is set.
**[14:50] Hijikata**
All that remains is for me to hand it over.
**[14:52] Kondo**
Hand it over? What do you mean?
**[14:55] Hijikata**
The whole of this castle and the
warriors spread throughout Japan.
**[15:00] Hijikata**
Kondo-san...
**[15:02] Hijikata**
I want you to become the shogun of it all.
**[15:08] Hijikata**
If you become the shogun,
**[15:11] Hijikata**
my role as the fake Mugensai will be over.
**[15:14] Hijikata**
Then all that's left is to make a
nation of true warriors by your side.
**[15:22] Kondo**
I understand how you feel.
**[15:25] Hijikata**
Does that mean you'll do it, then?
**[15:28] Kondo**
No.
**[15:31] Kondo**
Tell me, Toshi.
**[15:34] Kondo**
What will you do in order
to create this nation
**[15:38] Kondo**
of true warriors that you speak of?
**[15:42] Hijikata**
It's quite straightforward.
**[15:44] Hijikata**
War!
**[15:46] Hijikata**
We'll just keep fighting
incessantly here in Japan!
**[15:51] Hijikata**
And if that's not enough,
then we'll attack other countries!
**[15:55] Kondo**
Is that what you really want to do, Toshi?
**[15:57] Kondo**
I thought a warrior was someone
who protected his country...
**[16:02] Kondo**
no, those who are weak.
**[16:05] Kondo**
Now I finally understand
what he was trying to say.
**(Flashback) [16:09] Yoshinobu**
In the coming world, there will
be no way for one's standing
**(Flashback) [16:13] Yoshinobu**
to determine the life one lives.
**(Flashback) [16:16] Yoshinobu**
Everyone will be born equal,
and anyone can be involved in politics.
**(Flashback) [16:21] Yoshinobu**
All will determine how the country should be
and bear responsibility for their decisions.
**(Flashback) [16:25] Yoshinobu**
These are the kinds of ideas
that are needed in a new world.
**(Flashback) [16:29] Yoshinobu**
And only with that sort of system
**(Flashback) [16:32] Yoshinobu**
will the world be eternally at peace.
**(Flashback) [16:36] Yoshinobu**
Don't you agree?
**[16:39] Kondo**
Should the age of the warrior really
continue as it has for hundreds of years?
**[16:45] Hijikata**
That man, huh?
**[16:49] Hijikata**
Foolishness! Complete and utter foolishness!
**[16:52] Hijikata**
Then we should just continue
fighting for hundreds...
**[16:56] Hijikata**
no, thousands... tens of thousands of years!
**[16:59] Hijikata**
Isn't that right, Kondo-san?
**[17:05] Kondo**
That's...
**[17:07] Kondo**
Don't let the chronometer absorb you, Toshi!
**[17:10] Kondo**
Open your eyes!
**[17:12] Kondo**
A warrior values purity!
**[17:14] Kondo**
You can no longer call yourself
a warrior if you forget
**[17:17] Kondo**
your long-held desire
to protect this country!
**[17:20] Hijikata**
What?
**[17:22] Kondo**
If it is our destiny to perish,
**[17:25] Kondo**
then a noble death is also a warrior's pride!
**[17:29] Kondo**
Isn't that right, Toshi?
**[17:36] Hijikata**
I...
**[17:38] Kondo**
I know you understand that!
**[17:41] Hijikata**
I... I...
**[17:46] Kondo**
Come to your senses, Toshi!
**[17:49] Hijikata**
Kondo-san...
**(Flashback) [17:53] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, I'm going to become a
warrior and make a name for myself.
**(Flashback) [17:58] Hijikata**
And I will make you a warrior general.
**(Flashback) [18:02] Hijikata**
I swear it.
**[18:05] Hijikata**
I...!
**[18:18] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[18:20] Kondo**
You...
**[18:23] Hijikata**
Do not call me by that name.
**[18:28] Hijikata**
I am a pure, eternal being who wanders
through the infinity of time:
**[18:35] Hijikata**
I am Mugensai!
**[18:39] Kondo**
Toshi!
**[18:43] Kondo**
Stop, Toshi!
**[18:45] Hijikata**
I told you not to call me by that name!
**[18:54] Kondo**
* Does this mean the chronometer*
* desires war and bloodshed?*
**[19:01] Mugensai**
Kondo.
**[19:04] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[19:09] Mugensai**
If you will refuse my wish,
**[19:15] Mugensai**
then you can die here and now!
**[19:18] Mugensai**
And Kondo Isami will live on for
all eternity as a part of me!
**[19:23] Mugensai**
Along with the name of the Shinsengumi!
**[21:00] Yamazaki**
Well, we're all here because you told
us to be, but what on earth for?
**[21:04] Takasugi**
It's about the townspeople.
**[21:06] Katsura**
Ever since Mugensai showed up,
**[21:08] Katsura**
the atmosphere in Kyoto
has been rather severe.
**[21:11] Yoshinobu**
That's been bothering me, too.
**[21:13] Mikado**
Now that you mention it, the people's
expressions haven't been very lively.
**[21:17] Takasugi**
Exactly!
**[21:18] Takasugi**
So we were thinking we should do
something grand to cheer them up.
**[21:22] Yamazaki**
Cheer them up?
**[21:23] Yamazaki**
Like, tell them funny
stories or something?
**[21:25] Takasugi**
We considered that, but it needs
to be something more exciting.
**[21:29] Katsura**
So we thought perhaps something musical
that would be easy for anyone to get into.
**[21:33] Yoshinobu**
Like nursery songs or ballads?
**[21:35] Takasugi**
No, it needs to be much grander than that!
**[21:37] Takasugi**
How about a festival loaded
with music that's fun to listen to?
**[21:41] Mikado**
That makes sense. Cheer up the people
living in Kyoto with a festival.
**[21:45] Yoshinobu**
"Music" is written with the kanji
meaning "sound" and "enjoyment."
**[21:47] Yoshinobu**
A festival filled with music
sounds like a wonderful idea.
**[21:50] Takasugi**
All right, it's settled!
We're gonna have a festival!
**[21:53] Others**
Yeah!
**[21:56] Takasugi**
Okay, did you all bring your instruments?
**[21:59] Yoshinobu**
Yes.
**[21:59] Takasugi**
Okay, let's start playing them, then!
**[22:02] Takasugi**
First up is Yoshinobu!
**[22:03] Yoshinobu**
I, Tokugawa Yoshinobu,
will be playing the temple block.
**[22:07] Mikado**
I will be playing the bell.
**[22:11] Takasugi**
Um, look...
**[22:13] Katsura**
Let me handle this.
**[22:14] Katsura**
I, Katsura Kogoro, with be
playing the shakuhachi flute.
**[22:17] Takasugi**
Finally, something that actually resembles
a musical instrument. Take it away!
**[22:22] Katsura**
Huh? That's weird... What?
**[22:24] Takasugi**
That's enough! Next!
**[22:26] Yamazaki**
I, Yamazaki Susumu,
will be playing the hand drum.
**[22:30] Takasugi**
Is that all it does?
**[22:31] Yamazaki**
What other sounds do you expect it to make?
**[22:32] Takasugi**
Just look at all of you!
**[22:34] Takasugi**
Don't make light of festivals!
**[22:36] Yamazaki**
Isn't that a bit harsh? What are
you going to be doing, then?
**[22:40] Takasugi**
What?
**[22:41] Yamazaki**
I'm talking about your instrument.
**[22:43] Takasugi**
Try not to be too surprised!
I'll be playing this!
**[22:46] Takasugi**
Watch out for fire!
**[22:50] Takasugi**
Watch out for fire!
**[22:54] Yamazaki**
That won't work.
**[22:55] Takasugi**
Don't make light of festivals!
**[22:57] Takasugi**
A festival is primarily a ritual for
offering prayers to the gods!
**[23:00] Takasugi**
As long as we're full of gratitude,
**[23:01] Takasugi**
any instrument will strike
a chord with the people!
**[23:06] Mikado**
That is indeed true.
**[23:07] Yoshinobu**
These things can't be explained with logic.
**[23:09] Yamazaki**
Not you too, Yoshinobu-sama!
**[23:11] Katsura**
Well, then, let's try playing together
**[23:14] Katsura**
with our hearts full of
gratitude to the gods.
**[23:16] Mikado**
Right. Even if our individual
melodies aren't very appealing,
**[23:19] Mikado**
the music might be pleasant
if we play together.
**[23:23] Takasugi**
All right, let's do our best to make
this festival a grand show!
**[23:37] Kasumi**
Wh-Wh-What happened?!
**[23:40] Hyo**
Who's the funeral music for?
**[23:46] Takasugi**
That's it for the festival! See ya later!
**[23:51] Takasugi**
What the heck happened to Mugensai?
**[23:54] Katsura**
Next time on episode 10 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Vanished! Giant Castle Susanoo!

**[00:01] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[00:04] Mugensai**
If you will refuse my wish,
**[00:07] Mugensai**
then you can die here and now!
**[00:11] Mugensai**
And Kondo Isami will live on for
all eternity as a part of me!
**[00:16] Mugensai**
Along with the name of the Shinsengumi!
**[00:24] Kondo**
Soji!
**[00:26] Okita**
What are you doing, Hijikata-san?
**[00:28] Hijikata**
Soji?
**[00:30] Okita**
Please come to your senses!
**[00:36] Mugensai**
I...
**[00:38] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[00:39] Ranmaru**
That is enough.
**[00:41] Ranmaru**
Drawing your swords on our lord,
Mugensai-sama, is utterly inexcusable.
**[00:47] Ranmaru**
Take Kondo Isami and Okita Soji
to the dungeon immediately.
**[00:52] Okita**
You guys...
**[00:55] Ranmaru**
Are you all right, Mugensai-sama?
**[00:58] Mugensai**
Yes.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Vanished! Giant Castle Susanoo!
**[02:49] Takasugi**
Where is the emperor?
**[02:52] Katsura**
According to Hyo's intel,
**[02:54] Katsura**
it's likely he's being held
in the dungeon up ahead.
**[02:57] Takasugi**
I wasn't asking you.
**[03:00] Katsura**
I wasn't talking to you, either.
**[03:02] Takasugi**
Excuse me?!
**[03:03] Yoshinobu**
Knock it off, both of you!
**[03:06] Yoshinobu**
Remember, we're in enemy territory.
**[03:08] Katsura**
My apologies.
**[03:11] Yoshinobu**
Someone's coming.
**[03:16] Takasugi**
That's Kondo and Okita!
**[03:19] Katsura**
What's going on?
**[03:25] Okita**
What is Hijikata-san thinking?
**[03:29] Kondo**
Toshi is doing this for the Shinsengumi,
**[03:31] Kondo**
but it looks like he's been possessed
by the chronometer's evil will.
**[03:40] Okita**
Takasugi! Katsura-san!
**[03:42] Okita**
And...
**[03:44] Kondo**
Yoshinobu-sama! What are you doing here?
**[03:47] Takasugi**
We came to save the emperor, obviously.
**[03:50] Takasugi**
But what's going on with you guys?
**[03:52] Takasugi**
Inner conflict amongst the Shinsengumi?
**[03:56] Kondo**
Go ahead and laugh if you will.
**[03:58] Katsura**
Something happened with Mugensai, didn't it?
**[04:02] Okita**
Mugensai is—
**[04:03] Kondo**
Don't, Soji.
**[04:06] Kondo**
It's none of their business.
**[04:07] Takasugi**
Hey, now, depending on your—
**[04:09] Kondo**
No.
**[04:10] Kondo**
We won't join forces with you.
**[04:13] Kondo**
This is a Shinsengumi problem.
**[04:17] Katsura**
Kondo-san...
**[04:20] Yoshinobu**
No one can resist the ebb and flow of time.
**[04:23] Yoshinobu**
And it makes their path unclear.
**[04:27] Yoshinobu**
But if you listen to your heart,
**[04:30] Yoshinobu**
you will know what you need to do.
**[04:35] Yoshinobu**
Let's go.
**[04:36] Yoshinobu**
The emperor isn't here. He's probably
being held in another dungeon.
**[04:45] Kondo**
The emperor is in the
furthest cell down that way.
**[04:50] Yoshinobu**
Thank you.
**[04:51] Kondo**
But the cell before his is...
**(Flashback) [05:02] Sakamoto**
I'm sorry, Izo.
**(Flashback) [05:05] Izo**
What would you have done?
**(Flashback) [05:07] Sakamoto**
Oh, come on. The Okada Izo I know...
**[05:15] Izo**
*What am I to Ryoma?*
**[05:21] Sakamoto**
Oh, you're awake, Izo!
**[05:25] Izo**
Ryoma? Am I dreaming?
**[05:30] Sakamoto**
Don't be silly! You're not dreaming!
**[05:35] Izo**
Where are we?
**[05:36] Sakamoto**
Relax. We're in our previous hideout.
**[05:40] Sakamoto**
I had a doctor come by,
and he treated your wounds.
**[05:43] Sakamoto**
When I saw you covered in blood like
that, I thought you were done for.
**[05:50] Izo**
I see.
**[05:53] Izo**
Ryoma, why did you give
me the real chronometer?
**[06:01] Izo**
I thought I was supposed to be the decoy.
**[06:04] Sakamoto**
You idiot! I would never use you as a decoy!
**[06:10] Izo**
Ryoma?
**[06:12] Sakamoto**
I gave you the real one
because I believe in you.
**[06:16] Sakamoto**
Because I have faith in you, obviously!
**[06:20] Izo**
You believe in me?
**[06:24] Sakamoto**
Yes. I've always believed in you,
ever since back then.
**(Flashback) [06:29] Sakamoto**
A sword is something that should only be used
**(Flashback) [06:32] Sakamoto**
when it is absolutely
necessary to kill someone.
**(Flashback) [06:35] Sakamoto**
That is its purpose.
**[06:40] Izo**
Ryoma...
**[06:42] Izo**
But I... I...
**[06:49] Sakamoto**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:52] Sakamoto**
We'll just get it back.
That's all there is to it.
**[07:01] Takasugi**
Is this the place Kondo mentioned?
**[07:04] Douman**
Do you have business with us?
**[07:07] Hokusai**
What's this? It's not often we have visitors.
**[07:10] Zeami**
Perhaps our time has come?
**[07:14] Gennai**
I wouldn't be so sure. Mugensai
had quite some difficulty with us.
**[07:19] Katsura**
Who are you?
**[07:20] Takasugi**
Are these the last four of the
twelve commanders of Susanoo?
**[07:27] Zeami**
It's quite impolite to talk
about us as if we're leftovers.
**[07:31] Hokusai**
We didn't exactly get along with Mugensai.
**[07:36] Gennai**
I really don't appreciate the
mechanical dolls that I created
**[07:41] Gennai**
being used like that.
**[07:43] Takasugi**
Listen to me. The Mugensai that
brought you here is no more.
**[07:49] Takasugi**
But now there's a new Mugensai in his place,
**[07:53] Takasugi**
and we have to take him down.
**[07:56] Takasugi**
So what do you guys think?
**[07:59] Takasugi**
Would you help us?
**[08:02] Katsura**
Whoa, Shinsaku! Don't you
think that's a bit excessive?
**[08:06] Takasugi**
No, it's not!
**[08:08] Takasugi**
If they team up with us,
we'll let them out of those cells.
**[08:11] Takasugi**
It's a good deal.
**[08:13] Katsura**
I guess so...
**[08:14] Yoshinobu**
Takasugi-kun is right. We need all the
fighting power we can get on our side.
**[08:19] Yoshinobu**
Especially since all those here are strong
men Mugensai brought from another time.
**[08:26] Takasugi**
Right?
**[08:27] Katsura**
But would they even be willing to help us?
**[08:31] Gennai**
Well, I can't think of a
reason we should help you.
**[08:37] Hokusai**
And who the heck is this
new Mugensai, anyway?
**[08:43] Zeami**
It all sounds quite boring.
**[08:45] Takasugi**
Hey! Listen to me!
**[08:48] Douman**
Let me ask you this, then.
**[08:50] Douman**
What will you offer?
**[08:52] Douman**
How will you repay us for helping you?
**[08:55] Takasugi**
This world is in chaos right now
because of the chronometer.
**[09:00] Takasugi**
I'm going to—
**[09:01] Douman**
I don't care about that.
**[09:04] Douman**
I'm asking if you will entertain us.
**[09:11] Takasugi**
Damn, I'd forgotten something important...
**[09:16] Takasugi**
To always enjoy everything I do!
**[09:20] Takasugi**
You've got a deal!
**[09:22] Takasugi**
You'll enjoy yourselves to the fullest!
**[09:26] Takasugi**
I'm gonna show you something interesting!
**[09:28] All Four**
Understood!
**[09:31] Saito**
Kondo-san and Okita have been imprisoned?
**[09:34] Saito**
For what reason?
**[09:36] Ranmaru**
They drew their swords
against Mugensai-sama.
**[09:41] Saito**
That can't be...
**[09:42] Saito**
*What happened?*
**[09:44] Soldier A**
We have an emergency!
**[09:46] Ranmaru**
What is it?
**[09:48] Soldier A**
Traitors in the dungeon!
**[09:49] Ranmaru**
The dungeon?
**[09:51] Ranmaru**
Is it Kondo and Okita?
**[09:53] Soldier A**
No, it's...
**[09:59] Gennai**
I am Hiraga Gennai, one of the
twelve commanders of Susanoo.
**[10:02] Gennai**
Behold the power of my
electrostatic generator!
**[10:10] Hokusai**
I am Katsushika Hokusai, one of
the twelve commanders of Susanoo.
**[10:14] Hokusai**
I will paint you into one of my paintings!
**[10:20] Soldier**
What's going on?
**[10:24] Zeami**
If the secret of the flower becomes
known, it is no longer a true flower.
**[10:29] Zeami**
Zeami of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, fluttering forth.
**[10:40] Soldier**
What is this?!
**[10:43] Saito**
An illusionist, huh?
**[10:46] Douman**
You appear to be fairly skilled.
**[10:50] Saito**
I would be unfit to be the captain of
the third division of the Shinsengumi
**[10:54] Saito**
if I became flustered so easily.
**[10:56] Douman**
Saito Hajime, is it? You seem entertaining.
**[11:00] Douman**
I am one of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Ashiya Doman.
**[11:04] Douman**
Let the festivities begin.
**[11:12] Takasugi**
We need to hurry up and get the emperor
while they've got them distracted!
**[11:16] Yoshinobu & Katsura**
Right!
**[11:26] Mugensai**
What am I... What am I supposed to do?
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[11:52] Soldier B**
Halt!
**[11:53] Soldier C**
Identify yourself!
**[11:55] Seimei**
Sorry, but could you let me go?
**[11:57] Seimei**
I don't have time to play with you right now.
**[12:04] Seimei**
Sakamoto!
**[12:06] Sakamoto**
Things must be bad if you've
come here all by yourself.
**[12:10] Seimei**
Yes.
**[12:19] Okita**
Kondo-san, is this...
**[12:21] Kondo**
It is.
**[12:23] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[12:28] Saito**
What's going on?
**[12:30] Douman**
Looks like a much bigger
celebration is beginning.
**[12:34] Douman**
Farewell.
**[12:37] Saito**
Hey!
**[12:39] Saito**
What's happening?
**[12:42] Takasugi**
What's this shaking?
**[12:44] Katsura**
It's almost like when the chronometer
is opening up a space-time rift.
**[12:49] Katsura**
Wait, is the chronometer in the castle?
**[12:51] Katsura**
Did Mugensai take it from Sakamoto-kun?
**[12:54] Takasugi**
Hey, what did you just say? Sakamoto has it?
**[12:58] Takasugi**
Katsura, you'd better explain!
**[13:00] Takasugi**
What have you been doing behind my back?
**[13:10] Takasugi**
Come on, spit it out!
**[13:12] Yoshinobu**
Stop it, Takasugi-kun!
**[13:14] Yoshinobu**
I'm sure he has his reasons.
**[13:18] Yoshinobu**
Reasons that are difficult to tell you.
**[13:29] Katsura**
I saw it.
**[13:31] Katsura**
The proper flow of time.
**[13:35] Katsura**
If you use the chronometer to return
the world to the correct timeline,
**[13:40] Katsura**
Shinsaku, you will... you will...
**[13:47] Katsura**
You will immediately die of an illness!
**[13:53] Takasugi**
What?
***SIGN*** Live an interesting life in an uninteresting world.
**[13:58] Katsura**
"Live an interesting life
in an uninteresting world."
**[14:04] Katsura**
It certainly suits you.
**[14:06] Takasugi**
It's not so bad, for a death poem.
**[14:11] Katsura**
You idiot! What do you mean, "death poem"?
**[14:15] Takasugi**
Katsura, I need you to see how
this world turns out in my place.
**[14:24] Katsura**
What are you talking about?
You're going to be with me.
**[14:28] Takasugi**
I'm counting on you, Katsura.
**[14:35] Katsura**
Shinsaku?
**[14:37] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[14:41] Katsura**
In the correct timeline, you die
**[14:46] Katsura**
before your ambition can be fulfilled.
**[14:49] Katsura**
Ever since I found that out, I...
**[14:53] Yoshinobu**
So you tried to stop Takasugi-kun
from using the chronometer
**[14:59] Yoshinobu**
to return time to its proper flow.
**[15:06] Takasugi**
I'm going to die?
**[15:10] Takasugi**
What're you talking about?
**[15:11] Takasugi**
I wouldn't die so—
**[15:13] Katsura**
Of course not!
**[15:14] Katsura**
You're Takasugi Shinsaku!
**[15:18] Katsura**
There's no way in hell
you would die so easily!
**[15:23] Takasugi**
Katsura...
**[15:30] Yoshinobu**
Leave the emperor to me.
**[15:32] Yoshinobu**
You two go find Mugensai
and get the chronometer!
**[15:36] Takasugi**
Got it!
**[15:37] Katsura**
Yes, sir!
**[15:37] Takasugi**
Let's go, Katsura. We'll talk
after we get the chronometer.
**[15:41] Katsura**
Works for me.
**[15:51] Ranmaru**
What does the man who used Izo as
a decoy so he could escape want?
**[15:56] Ranmaru**
Did you come to avenge him?
**[16:00] Sakamoto**
You're the one who hurt Izo, aren't you?
**[16:03] Ranmaru**
So what if I am?
**[16:05] Sakamoto**
I knew the day would come
**[16:07] Sakamoto**
when I would have to
sacrifice him for my goals.
**[16:11] Sakamoto**
And he should've known that, too.
**[16:16] Sakamoto**
But still...
**[16:24] Sakamoto**
Did you know?
**[16:26] Sakamoto**
A sword is something that should only be used
**[16:28] Sakamoto**
when it is absolutely
necessary to kill someone.
**[16:30] Sakamoto**
That is its purpose.
**[16:37] Soldier D**
Mugensai-sama!
**[16:39] Soldier D**
The enemy is on their way here!
**[16:51] Takasugi**
That's Mugensai... right?
**[16:57] Katsura**
The chronometer!
**[16:59] Katsura**
So you do have the chronometer!
**[17:01] Douman**
Is this where the celebration is?
**[17:05] Takasugi**
Doman!
**[17:06] Douman**
He is being taken over by the chronometer.
**[17:12] Zeami**
Looks like things have
gotten rather exciting.
**[17:15] Douman**
Stay back, Takasugi Shinsaku, Katsura Kogoro.
**[17:19] Douman**
Let us proceed, gentlemen.
**[17:32] Mugensai**
It won't work!
**[17:37] Mugensai**
I will plunge this world into war!
**[17:43] Takasugi**
Mugensai!
**[17:45] Katsura**
What's happening?
**[17:57] Takasugi**
What the heck happened to Mugensai?
**[18:00] Seimei**
He's been completely
swallowed up by the darkness.
**[18:04] Takasugi**
Seimei? Why are you here?
**[18:11] Sakamoto**
Get back, you guys!
**[18:15] Takasugi**
Sakamoto!
**[18:16] Katsura**
Did you get him?
**[18:20] Sakamoto**
What?
**[18:24] Sakamoto**
It had no effect at all?
**[18:29] Takasugi**
Sakamoto!
**[18:33] Douman**
Are you ready, gentlemen?
**[18:34] Hokusai**
I'm ready!
**[18:35] Gennai**
For us not to deal one last blow...
**[18:38] Zeami**
...wouldn't look good, would it?
**[18:40] All 4**
Now!
**[19:04] Douman**
That was rather enjoyable, Takasugi.
**[19:07] Takasugi**
You guys...
**[19:22] Sakamoto**
What?
**[19:25] Sakamoto**
The giant castle Susanoo has vanished?
**[21:00] Hokusai**
Make way! Make way! My paint dances!
**[21:03] Hokusai**
To dream of an eggplant,
a hawk, or Fuji is auspicious!
**[21:05] Hokusai**
Spank not with the sword, but with the brush!
**[21:07] Hokusai**
I am the wild artist, Katsushika Hokusai!
**[21:11] Gennai**
My electrostatic generator makes you tingle.
**[21:13] Gennai**
A strange eel unit at night.
**[21:15] Gennai**
There are no orders on Saturday night.
**[21:17] Gennai**
I am the walking, shocking
legend, Hiraga Gennai!
**[21:21] Zeami**
If the secret of the flower becomes
known, it is no longer a true flower.
**[21:24] Zeami**
While all life comes to an end,
Noh lives on endlessly.
**[21:28] Zeami**
I am Zeami, the dancing
and singing Noh performer!
**[21:32] Douman**
A curse once uttered can last for eternity.
**[21:34] Douman**
A pentagram sparkles in the sky.
**[21:36] Douman**
The world is full of evil spirits.
**[21:38] Douman**
The onmyoji Ashiya Doman has arrived!
**[21:43] Douman**
The four of us are...
**[21:44] All Four**
The irregular militia!
***SIGN*** Irregular Militia
**[21:47] Takasugi**
No, no!
**[21:47] Takasugi**
I told you to match up with the movements
of Hokusai and Gennai on the sides.
**[21:52] Takasugi**
And Doman, bend your arm more like this.
**[21:54] Douman**
Like this?
**[21:55] Takasugi**
Like *this*!
**[21:56] Katsura**
Hey, Shinsaku, what on earth are you doing?
**[21:59] Takasugi**
I'm training the irregular militia.
**[22:01] Katsura**
The irregular militia?
**[22:02] Takasugi**
Yep.
**[22:03] Takasugi**
I've decided to call the remaining twelve
commanders of Susanoo the irregular militia.
**[22:07] Takasugi**
Cool name, huh?
**[22:08] Katsura**
Okay, but...
**[22:10] Takasugi**
It'll take too long to explain
to you, so I'll tell you later.
**[22:12] Takasugi**
Okay, let's try it again from the top!
**[22:14] Douman**
Takasugi Shinsaku, I wish to speak with you.
**[22:18] Takasugi**
What is it? Make it quick.
**[22:20] Douman**
What is the purpose of this training?
**[22:22] Takasugi**
Purpose?
**[22:23] Douman**
Yes.
**[22:24] Douman**
I've gotten used to us being
called the "irregular militia,"
**[22:27] Douman**
but this training feels somewhat unsettling.
**[22:30] Katsura**
I would think it weird if someone
didn't find it unsettling.
**[22:34] Takasugi**
Is that all?
**[22:36] Takasugi**
There is no purpose to it!
**[22:37] Katsura**
There isn't?!
**[22:38] Takasugi**
It's all to make things more fun.
**[22:40] Katsura**
That's not enough!
**[22:41] Douman**
Okay, I understand.
**[22:43] Katsura**
You're seriously okay with that?
**[22:45] Takasugi**
All right! With that settled,
let's continue training!
**[22:47] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[22:49] Takasugi**
I told you I'd deal with you later.
**[22:50] Takasugi**
Okay, let's start again from your entrance.
**[22:52] Amakusa**
Hold it right there!
**[22:55] Takasugi**
Who are you?
**[22:56] Amakusa**
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, one of
the twelve commanders of Susanoo!
**[22:59] Amakusa**
I'll be joining you, as well.
**[23:01] Katsura**
One of the twelve commanders?
**[23:02] Katsura**
But twelve have already
appeared. It doesn't add up.
**[23:05] Amakusa**
Yes, I am the thirteenth member
of the twelve commanders.
**[23:09] Katsura**
A thirteenth member of the twelve
commanders makes no sense!
**[23:12] Takasugi**
Interesting. Okay, Amakusa Shiro,
you're part of the irregular militia now!
**[23:16] Takasugi**
Thanks for joining us!
**[23:18] Amakusa**
Sure.
**[23:18] Heihachiro**
Hold it right there!
**[23:19] Fifteenth**
Hold it right there!
**[23:20] Sixteenth**
Hold it right there!
**[23:22] Heihachiro**
I am the fourteenth member of the
twelve commanders, Oshio Heihachiro!
**[23:25] Fifteenth**
I am the fifteenth member
of the twelve commanders!
**[23:27] Sixteenth**
I am the sixteenth member
of the twelve commanders!
**[23:29] Takasugi**
This is awesome! The irregular
militia has so many members now!
**[23:32] Takasugi**
Okay, let's all have fun together!
**[23:34] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[23:35] Takasugi**
Oh, for crying out loud! What do you want?
**[23:37] Katsura**
It's something important.
**[23:38] Takasugi**
Well, spit it out. We're just
getting to the good part.
**[23:41] Katsura**
The twelve commanders won't
be appearing anymore.
**[23:47] Takasugi**
The irregular militia is disbanded!
**[23:50] Yoshinobu**
The situation is urgent.
**[23:52] Katsura**
They took Mugensai with them.
**[23:55] Katsura**
Next time on episode 11 of *Bakumatsu Crisis*:
***SIGN*** Birth! The Great God Susanoo!
**[23:58] Katsura**
"Birth! The Great God Susanoo!"
**[24:01] Katsura**
Kyoto has vanished?

**[00:02] Takasugi**
That's Mugensai... right?
**[00:08] Katsura**
The chronometer!
**[00:10] Katsura**
So you do have the chronometer!
**[00:12] Mugensai**
I will plunge this world into war!
**[00:18] Takasugi**
Mugensai!
**[00:20] Katsura**
What's happening?
**[00:33] Yoshinobu**
Emperor! Emperor!
**[00:36] Mikado**
Is that you, Yoshinobu?
**[00:40] Yoshinobu**
Emperor, I'm so glad you're all right.
**[00:43] Mikado**
What is it? Have you come to save me?
**[00:46] Mikado**
I haven't been able to
speak with Mugensai yet.
**[00:49] Yoshinobu**
There's no longer any need for that.
**[00:52] Yoshinobu**
The situation is urgent.
**[01:26] Takasugi**
They took Mugensai with them.
**[01:31] Katsura**
We're saved.
**[01:32] Takasugi**
Yeah.
**[01:33] Seimei**
No, it's too soon to be relieved.
**[01:37] Seimei**
Let's go take a look outside.
**[01:45] Takasugi**
N-No way!
**[01:49] Katsura**
It can't be...
**[01:52] Katsura**
Kyoto has vanished?
**[01:56] Takasugi**
What the heck is going on?!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** Birth! The Great God Susanoo!
**[03:39] Takasugi**
Where has Kyoto gone?
**[03:42] Katsura**
It's more than that. It looks like the
surrounding terrain has changed.
**[03:48] Katsura**
Does that mean...
**[03:49] Seimei**
Yes, we're the ones who were transported.
**[03:54] Takasugi**
Say what?
**[03:55] Katsura**
Then this is...
**[03:57] Seimei**
This is the land before
Kyoto was created here,
**[04:00] Seimei**
about 2,000 years ago, I believe.
**[04:04] Takasugi**
No way... Then we...
**[04:07] Takasugi**
We were sent to the past
along with the castle?
**[04:11] Katsura**
But why? What happened?
**[04:15] Seimei**
The power to travel through time went
out of control when the four members
**[04:20] Seimei**
of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo disappeared,
**[04:23] Seimei**
which most likely means the great
castle Susanoo was swallowed up by
**[04:26] Seimei**
the excess torrent of that power.
**[04:28] Katsura**
I see.
**[04:29] Takasugi**
Either way, as long as
we have the chronometer,
**[04:32] Takasugi**
we can get back to the previous time per—
**[04:35] Takasugi**
Wait a minute. Where *is* the chronometer?
**[04:37] Katsura**
I believe Sakamoto-kun had it.
**[04:45] Takasugi**
And Sakamoto was tossed outside the castle.
**[04:47] Takasugi**
Which means that he's still in the
other time with the chronometer?
**[04:52] Katsura**
Most likely.
**[04:53] Takasugi**
Damn it!
**[04:55] Takasugi**
Things were looking so good
with Mugensai finally gone, too!
**[04:59] Mugensai**
Who's gone, now?
**[05:07] Takasugi**
Mugensai!
**[05:08] Takasugi**
Bastard! You're still alive?
**[05:13] Mugensai**
You won't get rid of me so easily.
**[05:16] Mugensai**
Not when my soul is burning
with such ambition!
**[05:27] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[05:30] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[05:34] Mugensai**
So this is Kyoto 2,000 years before
it became the capital city?
**[05:39] Mugensai**
Interesting. Then I will build
a new capital city here.
**[05:44] Mugensai**
A city of darkness that will
engulf the whole of Japan
**[05:48] Mugensai**
in an endless maelstrom of war!
**[05:58] Sakamoto**
I don't know what happened,
**[06:01] Sakamoto**
but if Susanoo Castle is gone, then
that must mean Mugensai is gone.
**[06:07] Sakamoto**
Did Takasugi-san return
time to its proper flow?
**[06:13] Sakamoto**
But the chronometer is right here.
**[06:16] Sakamoto**
So who's responsible for this?
**[06:23] Sakamoto**
And where are Takasugi-san and the others?
**[06:36] Takasugi**
Whew... That was close.
**[06:40] Takasugi**
Now, then...
**[06:46] Mugensai**
You two can just sit there
and watch my conquest...
**[06:52] Mugensai**
from the depths of hell!
**[06:57] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[06:58] Seimei**
Takasugi!
**[07:09] Katsura**
What?
**[07:16] Takasugi**
You're... Hijikata?
**[07:19] Hijikata**
Don't call me by that name.
**[07:21] Hijikata**
I am... I am...
**[07:26] Hijikata**
Mugensai!
**[07:30] Takasugi**
What is this power?
**[07:32] Seimei**
We should probably get away from here.
**[07:34] Katsura**
Right.
**[07:39] Takasugi**
Hijikata...
**[07:50] Mikado**
What was that light earlier,
and what is going on?
**[07:54] Yoshinobu**
I'm not sure, but let's hurry outside.
**[07:59] Yoshinobu**
Emperor!
**[08:07] Yamazaki**
Are you all right?
**[08:11] Yoshinobu**
Susumu!
**[08:12] Yoshinobu**
And... Hyo and Kasumi!
**[08:16] Yoshinobu**
You're all here, too?
**[08:18] Kasumi**
When Susumu awoke,
he insisted that he was going after you.
**[08:21] Hyo**
So we followed him.
**[08:24] Mikado**
Are you doing better, Yamazaki?
**[08:27] Yamazaki**
Well, I can't just sleep at a time like this.
**[08:32] Yoshinobu**
Come on. We should get out of here, and fast.
**[08:42] Hijikata**
There it is.
**[08:44] Hijikata**
Lake Ogura.
**[08:46] Hijikata**
If I conquer that, they won't be able
to build the capital here later.
**[08:57] Hijikata**
Go forth, giant castle Susanoo!
**[09:00] Hijikata**
Heed my commands!
**[09:07] Takasugi**
The castle...
**[09:09] Katsura**
What's happening?
**[09:33] Takasugi**
What is that?
**[09:38] Katsura**
It came from the wreckage of the castle.
**[09:45] Seimei**
It's the...
**[09:48] Seimei**
The great god Susanoo!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[10:00] Takasugi**
Wait a minute... What do you mean,
"great god Susanoo"?
**[10:06] Takasugi**
Hijikata!
**[10:10] Takasugi**
What the hell is going on here?
**[10:13] Katsura**
Does this mean the great god is
Hijikata, or rather, Mugensai?
**[10:18] Seimei**
A massive amount of evil has accumulated
**[10:20] Seimei**
in the chronometer over more than 2,000 years.
**[10:23] Seimei**
That evil energy has chosen
Mugensai as its new host
**[10:28] Seimei**
and has absorbed him into
the giant castle Susanoo,
**[10:32] Seimei**
forming the great god Susanoo.
**[10:37] Takasugi**
How the heck are we gonna fight
a giant monster like that?
**[10:57] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[10:58] Takasugi**
Hey! Where are you going?
**[11:01] Takasugi**
What, it's not going to fight us?
**[11:05] Katsura**
Where is he going?
**[11:09] Seimei**
That direction is...
**[11:12] Seimei**
That's it! Lake Ogura!
**[11:15] Takasugi & Katsura**
Lake Ogura?
**[11:16] Seimei**
Yes. It was a huge lake that
used to be situated between
**[11:19] Seimei**
the ancient capitals of
Heian-kyo and Heijo-kyo.
**[11:23] Seimei**
Mugensai said he was going to
build a capital city of darkness.
**[11:27] Seimei**
And if the great god Susanoo goes there,
**[11:30] Seimei**
he'll be able to make that city a reality.
**[11:35] Takasugi**
What?
**[11:37] Takasugi**
If that thing makes it there, then...
**[11:49] Takasugi**
Let's go after it, Katsura.
We gotta stop that thing.
**[11:52] Katsura**
Agreed, but how are we
going to stop that giant?
**[11:58] Takasugi**
Well, I'll just think of
something on the way!
**[12:02] Katsura**
Hey, wait up, Shinsaku!
**[12:08] Ranmaru**
I won't allow you to interfere
with Mugensai-sama.
**[12:11] Takasugi**
Ranmaru!
**[12:13] Katsura**
Be careful, Shinsaku.
**[12:14] Katsura**
He's acting strangely.
**[12:17] Seimei**
I thought Sakamoto defeated Ranmaru.
**[12:22] Ranmaru**
I won't die.
**[12:24] Ranmaru**
Not until Mugensai-sama's
ambition has been fulfilled!
**[12:29] Takasugi**
What's up with him?
**[12:31] Katsura**
Has he been consumed by the
chronometer's evil energy, as well?
**[12:37] Ranmaru**
Go forth, servants of Mugensai-sama!
**[12:47] Takasugi**
What the heck?
**[12:53] Takasugi**
No way. You gotta be kidding me.
**[12:56] Katsura**
All the members of the twelve
commanders that we defeated?!
**[13:00] Seimei**
Does that mean the residual thoughts
that remained in the castle
**[13:03] Seimei**
have been given physical form
by the evil spirit of Ranmaru?
**[13:10] Ranmaru**
We won't allow you to
go after Mugensai-sama.
**[13:15] Takasugi**
The odds aren't exactly in
our favor against this many.
**[13:20] Kasumi**
It's not just you two!
**[13:22] Hyo**
We're here, as well!
**[13:25] Katsura**
Lord Yoshinobu! And Yamazaki!
**[13:28] Takasugi**
Shinobi 1 and Shinobi 2, too!
**[13:30] Kasumi & Hyo**
Our names are Kasumi and Hyo!
**[13:32] Kasumi & Hyo**
Get it through your thick head already!
**[13:35] Takasugi**
And the emperor, too! You made it out?
**[13:40] Takasugi**
All right! The performers are all in place.
**[13:45] Ranmaru**
So insolent!
**[13:46] Okita**
Well, now, this looks like fun.
**[13:49] Okita**
Maybe we'll join in, too.
**[13:52] Okita**
What do you say, Kondo-san?
**[13:55] Takasugi**
You guys are alive, too?
**[13:57] Ranmaru**
Impossible! How did you escape your cell?
**[14:03] Ranmaru**
Saito Hajime!
**[14:06] Kondo**
We are not obligated to help
Takasugi and the others.
**[14:10] Kondo**
But, Mori Ranmaru,
we cannot overlook the fact
**[14:12] Kondo**
that you are being affected by the
evil spirit of the chronometer.
**[14:18] Takasugi**
Okay, let's do this, everyone.
**[14:24] Takasugi**
Let's show 'em something interesting!
**[14:41] Kasumi & Hyo**
Take that!
**[14:59] Yamazaki**
Kondo Isami, you should know that I...
**[15:02] Kondo**
You haven't forgiven me, right?
**[15:05] Kondo**
I expected as much.
**[15:08] Kondo**
But for now...
**[15:09] Yamazaki**
I know!
**[15:13] Yamazaki**
First, we take him down.
**[15:16] Kondo**
Yes. We can take our time
sorting things out later.
**[15:32] Ranmaru**
*Mugensai-sama... I swear I will...*
**[15:44] Kasumi & Hyo**
Take that!
**[16:18] Takasugi**
Well...
**[16:20] Takasugi**
You're the only one left.
**(Flashback) [16:40] Hijikata**
Who are you?
**(Flashback) [16:42] Ranmaru**
One of the twelve commanders
of Susanoo, Mori Ranmaru.
**(Flashback) [16:46] Hijikata**
The twelve commanders of Susanoo?
**(Flashback) [16:49] Hijikata**
That's perfect.
**(Flashback) [16:51] Hijikata**
I'm going to assume the name of Mugensai now.
**(Flashback) [16:54] Ranmaru**
You're going to become Mugensai?
**(Flashback) [16:57] Hijikata**
That's right.
**(Flashback) [16:58] Hijikata**
I will make Japan a strong country
in the deceased Mugensai's stead,
**(Flashback) [17:03] Hijikata**
with you all accompanying me.
**(Flashback) [17:06] Hijikata**
A strong country of warriors!
**[17:11] Ranmaru**
*His eyes were burning.*
**[17:14] Ranmaru**
* They burned brightly with*
* the flames of the warrior.*
**[17:21] Ranmaru**
*And I found hope in him.*
**[17:28] Ranmaru**
*Mugensai-sama...*
**[17:30] Ranmaru**
*To me, you represent hope.*
**[17:34] Ranmaru**
*Which is why I...*
**[17:37] Ranmaru**
I...
**[17:40] Ranmaru**
I won't let you interfere with Mugensai-sama!
**[17:42] Ranmaru**
I will take you all down with me!
**[17:45] Ranmaru**
This time, I will be sure to protect my lord.
**[17:49] Ranmaru**
Mugensai-sama, I, Mori Ranmaru,
**[17:53] Ranmaru**
will be by your side for all eternity!
**[17:55] Takasugi**
What the—
**[18:09] Ranmaru**
Mugensai-sama...
**[18:13] Kondo**
He's not Mugensai.
**[18:16] Kondo**
He is...
**[18:18] Kondo**
He is the Shinsengumi's
**[18:24] Kondo, Saito & Okita**
...Demon Vice Commander, Hijikata Toshizo!
**[18:38] Kondo**
Let's go, Soji, Saito.
**[18:41] Kondo**
We must stop Toshi.
**[18:44] Saito & Okita**
Yes, sir!
**[18:45] Takasugi**
Ahem!
**[18:47] Takasugi**
Guess there's no way around it.
We'll just have to help you.
**[18:54] Kondo**
Do what you will.
**[18:59] Takasugi**
All right, let's get going, then!
**[19:02] Katsura**
Hey, wait up, Shinsaku!
**[19:05] Yoshinobu**
We'll be joining them, Susumu.
**[19:08] Yamazaki**
Yes, Yoshinobu-sama.
**[19:09] Yoshinobu**
Kasumi and Hyo, I need you to stay here
with the emperor and Seimei-dono.
**[19:13] Kasumi & Hyo**
Understood!
**[19:16] Seimei**
*Good luck, everyone.*
**[21:00] Takasugi**
Hey there, everyone! How ya doing?
**[21:02] Katsura**
We're finally nearing the end.
**[21:03] Takasugi**
Yeah, but now that I think
about it, so much has happened.
**[21:07] Takasugi**
Like that time you were surrounded by
300 Susanoo soldiers and about to die,
**[21:11] Takasugi**
and I rushed in gallantly to save you.
**[21:13] Katsura**
Huh?
**[21:14] Takasugi**
Or when I took care of the twelve
commanders of Susanoo single-handedly.
**[21:17] Katsura**
What?
**[21:18] Takasugi**
Oh, and when Katsura was
about to die of hunger,
**[21:21] Takasugi**
I made kitsune udon for him.
**[21:24] Katsura**
Whoa, hang on, Shinsaku.
**[21:26] Katsura**
I feel like you're making
some of those moments up.
**[21:29] Katsura**
No, it's not a laughing matter.
**[21:31] Sakamoto**
He has a point.
**[21:32] Sakamoto**
I seem to remember saving
you two from a tight spot
**[21:36] Sakamoto**
on one or two occasions with my gun.
**[21:38] Takasugi & Katsura**
Huh?!
**[21:38] Yoshinobu**
Now, wait a moment.
**[21:40] Yamazaki**
You guys would be dead and buried
by Mugensai if it wasn't for us.
**[21:44] Yoshinobu**
Yes, that's very true.
**[21:46] Takasugi, Katsura & Sakamoto**
Huh?!
**[21:46] Mikado**
I wondered what you all were discussing.
**[21:49] Seimei**
There was that time when I
brought you all back to life
**[21:52] Seimei**
with my powers after you died.
**[21:54] Mikado**
There was indeed!
**[21:55] Takasugi, Katsura, Sakamoto, Yoshinobu & Yamazaki**
Huh?!
**[21:58] Takasugi**
You got it all wrong!
**[21:59] Takasugi**
I took down a thousand Susanoo soldiers
with my incredible secret powers!
**[22:03] Sakamoto**
What're you talking about?
**[22:04] Sakamoto**
Susanoo Castle was destroyed by the
cannons and warships that I arranged!
**[22:08] Yamazaki**
Forget the twelve commanders!
I defeated thirty commanders!
**[22:12] Seimei**
With my time-traveling power,
**[22:14] Seimei**
I brought back lots of great
weapons from a long time ago.
**[22:18] Takasugi**
Don't just make up random achievements!
**[22:20] Sakamoto**
I could say the same to you!
**[22:21] Yamazaki**
Mine was the real thing!
**[22:22] Seimei**
Let's go back to the past and find out.
**[22:24] Katsura**
Come on, calm down, you guys!
**[22:27] Katsura**
Our final showdown with Mugensai is near.
**[22:29] Katsura**
This is no time for infighting!
**[22:31] Yoshinobu**
Katsura-kun is certainly right.
**[22:34] Mikado**
Yes, and we've gotten this far thanks to me.
**[22:37] All**
What?!
**[22:40] Katsura**
Not to be repetitive, but this
is the last crucial moment.
**[22:43] Katsura**
Let's put aside who has achieved what
**[22:45] Katsura**
and focus on destroying
Mugensai together!
**[22:47] Katsura**
Don't you agree? Right?
**[22:49] Takasugi**
I guess you have a point.
**[22:52] Sakamoto**
We can worry about the rest of
it after we defeat Mugensai.
**[22:55] Yamazaki**
Guess we have to, then.
**[22:56] Yoshinobu**
Yes, we can continue the conversation
about my achievements afterward.
**[23:01] Seimei**
And my achievements, too.
**[23:03] Takasugi**
Okay, save the achievement talk for later!
**[23:05] Takasugi**
Let's all go defeat Mugensai together!
**[23:07] All**
Yeah!
**[23:10] Mugensai**
Like I said, I'm the one who defeated
Takasugi and the other meddlers!
**[23:15] Ranmaru**
No way! You may be my master, Mugensai-sama,
**[23:18] Ranmaru**
but I won't let you claim this!
**[23:19] Ranmaru**
All the meddlers were defeated
by the Ranmaru Corps, led by me!
**[23:24] Mugensai**
It was my dark powers that brought
you here from the distant past!
**[23:27] Ranmaru**
That is a lie! Now you make
up falsehoods about the past?
**[23:30] Mugensai**
What do you mean, falsehoods?!
**[23:34] Takasugi**
I guess it really is shameful to be
arguing over achievements, isn't it?
**[23:37] Yamazaki**
I guess so.
**[23:38] Seimei**
Yes, I must agree, as well.
**[23:41] Mugensai**
*I'm* the one who built this castle!
**[23:43] Ranmaru**
That was the previous Mugensai-sama!
**[23:45] Mugensai**
There is no past or present!
**[23:47] Ranmaru**
Like I said!
**[23:51] Katsura**
Shinsaku, you want to create an
interesting world, don't you?
**[23:57] Katsura**

**[00:01] Hijikata**
Lake Ogura... That's where it will begin.
**[00:05] Hijikata**
A city of darkness that will
engulf the whole of Japan
**[00:10] Hijikata**
in an endless maelstrom of war!
**[00:12] Hijikata**
A strong country of warriors!
**[00:27] Takasugi**
You're not going anywhere.
**[00:36] Hijikata**
You...
**[00:38] Hijikata**
Don't you dare... Don't you dare...
**[00:40] Hijikata**
Don't you dare interfere with my conquest!
**[00:46] Okita**
Please come to your senses, Hijikata-san!
**[00:49] Saito**
You're one troublesome vice commander!
**[00:52] Hijikata**
Your attacks can do nothing to me!
**[01:02] Hijikata**
No one in the world can stop
the great god of Susanoo!
**[01:13] Takasugi**
Damn it...
**[01:18] Hijikata**
No matter how many of you come
at me, it makes no difference!
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** CRISIS
***SIGN*** To a New Bakumatsu!
**[03:07] Yoshinobu**
Let's go, Susumu!
**[03:08] Yamazaki**
Okay.
**[03:13] Hijikata**
You waste your time!
**[03:22] Hijikata**
Don't worry. Your corpses will
be used as the foundation
**[03:28] Hijikata**
for the city of darkness that I will create.
**[03:31] Hijikata**
Farewell!
**[03:36] Katsura**
Lord Yoshinobu!
**[03:38] Takasugi**
Yamazaki!
**[03:45] Yamazaki**
K-Kondo-san?!
**[03:47] Kondo**
Are you all right, Yamazaki, Yoshinobu-sama?
**[03:53] Yamazaki**
Why...
**[03:56] Yoshinobu**
Kondo-kun!
**[03:58] Kondo**
I'm... sorry...
**[04:06] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san?
**[04:09] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san!
**[04:11] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san! Please don't die, Kondo-san!
**[04:14] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san!
**[04:16] Yamazaki**
Please don't die, Kondo-san!
**[04:18] Okita**
He can't be...
**[04:18] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san!
**[04:20] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san!
**[04:20] Saito**
Kondo-san is...
**[04:22] Yamazaki**
Why did you... Kondo-san!
**[04:26] Yamazaki**
Please, just open your eyes, Kondo-san!
**[04:29] Yamazaki**
Kondo-san! Kondo-san...
**[04:33] Yoshinobu**
Mugensai... no, Hijikata-kun.
**[04:37] Yoshinobu**
Stirring up endless conflict
**[04:39] Yoshinobu**
to create a strong country forged by warriors
**[04:44] Yoshinobu**
will mean hurting countless people,
**[04:48] Yoshinobu**
and leaving countless others saddened!
**[04:55] Yoshinobu**
You desire conflict in spite of all that?
**[04:58] Yoshinobu**
Is that truly what makes a strong
country forged by warriors?
**[05:03] Yoshinobu**
Will that really bring peace
and tranquility to Japan?
**[05:09] Hijikata**
I...
**(Flashback) [05:11] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, I'm going to become a
warrior and make a name for myself.
**(Flashback) [05:16] Hijikata**
And I will make you a warrior general.
**(Flashback) [05:20] Hijikata**
I swear it.
**(Flashback) [05:24] Hijikata**
I will secure the chronometer
**(Flashback) [05:26] Hijikata**
and make this country a
strong one forged by warriors.
**[05:30] Hijikata**
I...
**[05:34] Hijikata**
I...
**[05:37] Hijikata**
I...!
**[05:40] Okita**
Hijikata-san!
**[05:41] Saito**
Hijikata-san!
**[05:43] Hijikata**
Get out.
**[05:45] Hijikata**
Get out of me. I...
**[05:49] Hijikata**
I...!
**[05:52] Katsura**
Hijikata is trying to
force the evil energy out?
**[05:58] Katsura**
But... it's too late. He's already been
integrated into the great god Susanoo.
**[06:05] Takasugi**
Looks like you're in pain, Hijikata.
**[06:08] Takasugi**
I'll put an end to your suffering now!
**[06:10] Okita**
Takasugi?
**[06:11] Saito**
What are you...
**[06:13] Katsura**
Shinsaku, what are you going to do?
**[06:15] Takasugi**
I'm going to slice that black haze in half!
**[06:20] Yamazaki**
Can you actually do that?
**[06:23] Takasugi**
It's not about if I can or not.
**[06:26] Takasugi**
I *will* do it!
**[06:40] Seimei**
The evil energy is being purified.
**[06:44] Kasumi**
He's done it!
**[06:46] Hyo**
The great god Susanoo has stopped moving!
**[06:59] Okita**
Hijikata-san! Hijikata-san!
**[07:03] Takasugi**
That just leaves this thing.
**[07:06] Seimei**
Oh, no!
**[07:08] Kasumi**
What's the matter?
**[07:16] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[07:20] Seimei**
The evil energy has lost Hijikata, its host,
**[07:24] Seimei**
and is now trying to take over Takasugi.
**[07:27] Mikado**
What?
**[07:29] Seimei**
Takasugi...
**[07:35] Takasugi**
I-I...
**[07:38] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[07:40] Takasugi**
I...
**[07:45] Katsura**
*This is bad... Shinsaku is...*
**[07:50] Katsura**
*How can I help him?*
**[07:54] Katsura**
That's it!
**[07:56] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[07:58] Katsura**
Catch!
**[08:06] Takasugi**
This is...
**[08:16] Takasugi**
Master Shoin...
**(Flashback) [08:20] Shoin**
There are those in the world
whose bodies may be alive,
**(Flashback) [08:23] Shoin**
but their spirit is dead.
**(Flashback) [08:26] Shoin**
On the other hand, there are those
**(Flashback) [08:27] Shoin**
whose souls will remain even
when their bodies are gone.
**(Flashback) [08:31] Shoin**
You have to keep living even
if your spirit is dead.
**(Flashback) [08:36] Shoin**
Hold on to your ambition.
**[08:42] Takasugi**
Ambition...
**[08:44] Takasugi**
My ambition is...
**[08:58] Takasugi**
I won't lose my ambition
to something like this!
**[09:06] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[09:15] Seimei**
The evil energy is disappearing.
**[09:18] Seimei**
Takasugi's strong will has
won out over the evil energy.
**[09:24] Kasumi**
He did it!
**[09:25] Hyo**
We won!
**[09:29] Katsura**
Shinsaku! You did it!
**[09:31] Takasugi**
Yeah, thanks to you and Master Shoin.
***SIGN*** CRISIS
**[09:48] Okita**
How is Kondo-san's condition?
**[09:50] Yamazaki**
He still has a pulse, but
he's not out of danger yet.
**[09:55] Saito**
What about Hijikata-san?
**[09:57] Seimei**
He's just unconscious.
**[09:59] Seimei**
I'm sure he'll wake up soon.
**[10:02] Saito**
That's good.
**[10:04] Katsura**
We have to get Kondo-san
to a doctor, and fast.
**[10:06] Takasugi**
Yeah, but how are we supposed to
get back to the other time period?
**[10:11] Takasugi**
Sakamoto has the chronometer.
**[10:14] Seimei**
What if there was a way
to get in touch with him?
**[10:18] Takasugi**
Seimei?
**[10:20] Katsura**
But how?
**[10:32] Mikado**
Where are we going?
**[10:35] Seimei**
Takasugi, does anything here look familiar?
**[10:39] Takasugi**
Huh? Familiar?
**[10:41] Takasugi**
This is 2,000 years in the past.
There's no way it'd be—
**[10:47] Takasugi**
2,000 years ago? Isn't that when...
**[10:57] Takasugi**
I get it now. This is where we went.
**[11:02] Seimei**
That's right.
**[11:04] Seimei**
It's within sight now.
**[11:10] Katsura**
What is this place?
**[11:13] Mikado**
That's...
**[11:17] Katsura**
There's another Seimei?
**[11:20] Takasugi**
So we're here now on the same day
**[11:22] Takasugi**
that Seimei came here to seal
the chronometer in the cave shrine.
**[11:27] Takasugi**
It's almost too good to be a coincidence.
**[11:30] Seimei**
Indeed. Perhaps it's more
fate than coincidence.
**[11:39] Younger Seimei**
I see.
**[11:41] Mikado**
You don't seem very surprised.
**[11:44] Younger Seimei**
I knew something like this
would happen sooner or later.
**[11:49] Seimei**
That makes things easier, then.
**[11:51] Seimei**
I'd like to borrow the photograph you have.
**[11:54] Mikado & Katsura**
Photograph?
**[11:59] Younger Seimei**
Here.
**[12:01] Mikado**
This is...
**[12:08] Mikado**
The photograph we took
when I assumed the throne.
**[12:12] Takasugi**
What about it?
**[12:13] Katsura**
Hang on... That photograph...
**[12:21] Katsura**
That's the one Sakamoto-kun had!
**[12:24] Takasugi**
So we can contact Sakamoto by using it?
**[12:29] Seimei**
Exactly.
**[12:33] Izo**
Takasugi-san and the rest are gone?
**[12:35] Sakamoto**
Yeah, they vanished along with the castle.
**[12:39] Sakamoto**
I don't have a clue what happened, though.
**[12:45] Sakamoto**
And on top of everything,
I have the chronometer.
**[12:49] Sakamoto**
If Takasugi-san and the others have
ended up in another time period,
**[12:53] Sakamoto**
I don't know that they'll have a way back.
**[13:01] Sakamoto**
Wh-What was that?
**[13:08] Sakamoto**
This is the photograph of Seimei
that I got a long time ago.
**[13:12] Sakamoto**
Why did it...
**[13:15] Izo**
Ryoma, look at the back of it.
**[13:18] Sakamoto**
The back?
**[13:20] Sakamoto**
Wh-What the heck is this?
***SIGN*** Sakamoto Ryoma-dono, Completely destroy the chronometer, and then we will be able to return.
**[13:24] Sakamoto**
"Completely destroy the chronometer,
**[13:28] Sakamoto**
and then we will be able to return."
**[13:31] Sakamoto**
This writing wasn't here before!
**[13:38] Takasugi**
Should we have done that?
**[13:40] Seimei**
By destroying the chronometer
and releasing all its power,
**[13:44] Seimei**
we'll be able to return
to the other time period.
**[13:47] Katsura**
But what about the chronometer's
ability to self-repair?
**[13:51] Seimei**
With the evil energy gone, it should be
possible to destroy the chronometer now.
**[13:56] Mikado**
So the rest is up to Sakamoto, huh?
**[14:11] Takasugi**
*Sakamoto.*
**[14:26] Sakamoto**
I always had the vague notion that
when I got hold of the chronometer,
**[14:31] Sakamoto**
I'd do big things with it.
**(Flashback) [14:37] Takasugi**
According to the old man running
the shop, it brings good luck.
**(Flashback) [14:43] Takasugi**
Take it.
**(Flashback) [14:44] Sakamoto**
Huh?
**(Flashback) [14:45] Takasugi**
I'm giving it to you.
**(Flashback) [14:46] Takasugi**
Since you and I are kindred spirits
who share the same ambition.
**(Flashback) [14:51] Sakamoto**
Kindred spirits?
**(Flashback) [14:52] Takasugi**
Yeah.
**(Flashback) [14:54] Takasugi**
Let's make a new Japan,
**(Flashback) [14:56] Takasugi**
no, a new and interesting Japan together!
**[15:06] Sakamoto**
Bring me good luck.
**[15:27] Sakamoto**
You guys!
**[15:29] Seimei**
Looks like it all worked out.
**[15:32] Takasugi**
Thank you, Sakamoto!
**[15:35] Sakamoto**
It was nothing.
**[15:39] Sakamoto**
Anyway, we need to treat the wounded.
**[15:41] Takasugi**
Yeah, definitely.
**[15:43] Sakamoto**
Is that Hijikata?
**[15:44] Takasugi**
We'll catch you up later.
**[15:55] Takasugi**
With the giant castle Susanoo gone,
**[15:58] Takasugi**
everything seems to be back to normal.
**[16:01] Katsura**
It does indeed.
**[16:03] Katsura**
Hijikata is apparently acting
as the temporary commander
**[16:07] Katsura**
of the Shinsengumi while
Kondo-san is recovering.
**[16:11] Takasugi**
Makes sense.
**[16:14] Katsura**
Well, it looks like everything's
worked out well for now.
**[16:17] Takasugi**
Yeah.
**[16:20] Takasugi**
But there's still...
**[16:23] Katsura**
The promise with Master Shoin, right?
**[16:29] Katsura**
Shinsaku, you have it in
your pocket, don't you?
**[16:33] Katsura**
The chronometer.
**[16:34] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[16:35] Katsura**
I saw you back then.
**[16:38] Katsura**
While we weren't looking,
you went into the cave.
**[16:45] Katsura**
You dug up the chronometer, didn't you?
**[16:48] Katsura**
You're planning on using it to return
time to its proper flow, aren't you?
**[16:58] Katsura**
I knew it.
**[17:00] Katsura**
I'll be taking this.
**[17:01] Takasugi**
Hey!
**[17:07] Takasugi**
Wait, Katsura!
**[17:13] Takasugi**
Katsura, you bastard! Give it back!
**[17:15] Katsura**
Not a chance!
**[17:16] Takasugi**
I need that to return
time to its proper flow!
**[17:21] Katsura**
I know, but if you return
time to its proper flow,
**[17:26] Katsura**
then you...
**[17:28] Katsura**
You will die.
**[17:34] Takasugi**
You don't know that!
**[17:37] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[17:39] Katsura**
I don't want you to die!
**[17:44] Takasugi**
And I'm telling you I'm *not* gonna die!
**[17:46] Katsura**
You blockhead!
**[17:48] Takasugi**
Excuse me?!
**[17:49] Katsura**
Damn it!
**[17:50] Takasugi**
Give it back, Katsura!
**[17:52] Katsura**
No way!
**[17:58] Katsura**
Why don't you get it?
**[18:04] Takasugi**
I don't *want* to get it! I don't
need to know that far ahead!
**[18:09] Katsura**
Shinsaku...
**[18:11] Takasugi**
Katsura...
**[18:13] Katsura**
Shinsaku!
**[18:15] Takasugi**
Katsura!
**[18:32] Katsura**
Shinsaku, don't you want to
make a more interesting world?
**[18:41] Katsura**
Are you willing to die and
leave your ambition unfulfilled?
**[18:53] Takasugi**
You still don't get it.
**[18:58] Takasugi**
Tomorrow isn't set in stone.
That's what makes it interesting.
**[19:03] Takasugi**
That's the kind of interesting
world that I envisioned.
**[19:13] Katsura**
I get it, Shinsaku.
**[19:16] Katsura**
Here.
**[19:24] Takasugi**
Seimei told me that returning
time to its proper flow
**[19:29] Takasugi**
would mean losing all of the memories we
have since Mugensai first appeared.
**[19:35] Katsura**
I see.
**[19:38] Takasugi**
But we won't change.
**[19:41] Takasugi**
Not as long as I'm Takasugi Shinsaku
and you're Katsura Kogoro.
**[19:48] Takasugi**
Right?
**[19:50] Katsura**
Right.
**[20:07] Takasugi**
Wow, there are so many people here.
**[20:10] Katsura**
Well, it *is* the first time the emperor has
made an appearance outside the palace.
**[20:15] Katsura**
Everyone wants to see him.
**[20:16] Takasugi**
The first time? Are you sure?
**[20:19] Katsura**
What're you talking about?
Are you still half-asleep?
**[20:22] Takasugi**
No, I'm not, but I thought...
**[20:26] Takasugi**
Oh, those guys.
**[20:30] Katsura**
Ah, that's the Shinsengumi.
**[20:32] Katsura**
They've been strolling around town
as if they own the place lately.
**[20:37] Takasugi**
They seem to be doing well.
**[20:40] Katsura**
Do you know them?
**[20:42] Takasugi**
No, I don't.
**[20:44] Takasugi**
Huh? That's weird...
**[20:46] Sakamoto**
Something the matter?
**[20:49] Katsura**
Sakamoto-kun, Izo.
**[20:51] Takasugi**
Oh, you're looking well, too, Izo.
Is your injury all better now?
**[20:56] Izo**
Injury?
**[20:57] Sakamoto**
What're you talking about?
Izo hasn't been injured.
**[21:02] Takasugi**
Huh?
**[21:02] Katsura**
You've been acting weird, Shinsaku.
**[21:06] Kasumi**
Where is Yoshinobu-sama?
**[21:08] Hyo**
We can't see anything from here.
**[21:11] Kasumi**
Maybe we should try going over there.
**[21:14] Takasugi**
Shinobi 1? Shinobi 2?
**[21:16] Takasugi**
I feel like I've seen them before...
**[21:20] Katsura**
Here it comes, Shinsaku.
The carriage that the emperor is in.
**[21:32] Seimei**
Looks like everyone's here.
**[21:40] Sakamoto**
And there it goes.
**[21:42] Takasugi**
That didn't last long.
**[21:44] Katsura**
Well, what should we do now?
**[21:47] Takasugi**
I'm hungry. Why don't we go have some soba?
**[21:50] Takasugi**
There's a place I like to go.
**[21:52] Katsura**
And what place is that?
**[21:54] Takasugi**
What was it?
**[21:56] Katsura**
Come on, Shinsaku.
**[21:59] Sakamoto**
What's that up there?
**[22:05] Sakamoto**
What the heck?
**[22:07] Izo**
That's...
**[22:09] Katsura**
What is it?
**[22:13] Takasugi**
I don't know what it is,
**[22:15] Takasugi**
but I have a feeling things
are about to get interesting!
