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