[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!

[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!
