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