[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!
[23:55] Katsura
    Next time on episode 4 of Bakumatsu Crisis:
     "Reunion with Hijikata: Ikedaya Incident!"
SIGN    Reunion with Hijikata: Ikedaya Incident!
[24:02] Hijikata
    Soji, what are you doing here?
