[00:01] Takasugi
    Katsura and I came to Kyoto in
    pursuit of the chronometer,
[00:06] Takasugi
    a hidden treasure once used by the
    Murakami Navy said to grant riches,
[00:10] Takasugi
    manipulate time, and allows
    one to rule the world...
[00:13] Takasugi
    when we were suddenly engulfed in light.
[00:16] Takasugi
    When we came to, we were
    in another Bakumatsu era
[00:21] Takasugi
    with a history different from our Japan's.
[00:23] Katsura
    Here, the Tokugawa has been destroyed,
[00:24] Katsura
    and the land is ruled over
    by a man named Mugensai.
[00:27] Takasugi
    Mugensai controls the Shinsengumi
    and frightens the townspeople
[00:31] Takasugi
    through the use of mechanical dolls.
[00:33] Takasugi
    He's also making things called
    airships in the castle
[00:37] Takasugi
    that he plans to use to
    invade other countries.
[00:39] Takasugi
    I burned all of them to ashes, but he
    turned back time using the chronometer,
[00:44] Takasugi
    and it was if nothing had ever happened.
[00:46] Katsura
    I even destroyed the mechanism
    that controlled the mechanical dolls,
[00:50] Katsura
    but he turned back time
    again with the chronometer.
[00:52] Takasugi
    Mugensai is untouchable as long as he
    has the chronometer... or so we thought,
[00:57] Takasugi
    but I met someone in the castle
    who had good advice for us.
[01:01] Mikado
    There is something to be gained when you
    are swept away by the torrent of time.
[01:05] Mikado
    You have to find it, Takasugi Shinsaku.
[01:09] Takasugi
    That's right, it's our memories!
[01:11] Takasugi
    Even if time is turned back,
    they can't take our memories.
[01:15] Katsura
    And once we realized this, we started coming
    up with a way to stop the mechanical dolls.
SIGN    Swordsmith
[01:30] Katsura
    Looks like it's starting to take shape.
[01:33] Swordsmith's Wife
    Yes, but the central part that
    offsets the resonance still remains.
[01:38] Swordsmith's Wife
    And we have very little
    good quality steel left.
[01:42] Swordsmith's Wife
    We'll need funds to get more...
[01:45] Takasugi
    Is that all you need?
[01:47] Takasugi
    You should've said so sooner.
[01:51] Katsura
    Shinsaku, you've got money?
[01:53] Takasugi
    Check it out!
[02:00] Katsura
    What are we supposed to do
    with that pocket change?
SIGN    The Thousandth Prize:
    Yoshinobu, My Master!
(Flashback) [03:44] Yamazaki
    You mean...
(Flashback) [03:46] Yamazaki
    You mean this is Edo?
(Flashback) [03:49] Warrior A
    This is the work of someone called Mugensai.
(Flashback) [03:52] Warrior B
    Everyone beneath captain of the guard
    did their best to hold the defense...
(Flashback) [03:56] Yamazaki
    Yoshinobu-sama...
(Flashback) [03:58] Yamazaki
    Where's Yoshinobu-sama?!
(Flashback) [04:00] Warrior B
    I don't know if he's even alive.
(Flashback) [04:09] Yamazaki
    Just wait for me. I will find you...
[04:25] Yamazaki
    Yoshinobu-sama...
[04:37] Yoshinobu
    Things look good down here.
[04:40] Yamazaki
    I'm sorry you have to help me.
[04:44] Yoshinobu
    It's no trouble at all.
[04:48] Yoshinobu
    Anyway, Susumu, did you know a
    tengu used to live in this temple?
[04:53] Yoshinobu
    Wasn't it the Kurama tengu?
[04:57] Yoshinobu
    Yes. It was a master of swordsmanship.
[04:59] Yoshinobu
    It's said that it taught Ushiwakamaru
    how to use a sword.
[05:03] Yamazaki
    That's just a legend, I'm sure.
[05:06] Yoshinobu
    But it could be that Mugensai hasn't found
    us here because of that tengu's protection.
[05:14] Yoshinobu
    The least I can do is help with repairs.
[05:22] Kasumi
    Zundamaru has returned!
[05:25] Yoshinobu
    What's he got for us today?
[05:27] Kasumi
    I'll come show you!
[05:40] Yamazaki
    Kasumi?!
[05:44] Yoshinobu
    Everything's fine.
[05:45] Kasumi
    I-I'm so sorry!
[05:48] Yoshinobu
    Don't worry about it.
[05:50] Yoshinobu
    This reminds me of when
[05:52] Yoshinobu
    you were little, and I
    used to hold you like this.
[05:59] Kasumi
    It says that Mugensai currently
    can't use the chronometer
[06:02] Kasumi
    and has lost the ability to manipulate time.
[06:07] Yoshinobu
    So the rumors about the
    hidden treasure are true.
[06:10] Yamazaki
    Anything else?
[06:12] Kasumi
    We must find Seimei as soon as possible
    and hide him away somewhere safe.
[06:17] Yoshinobu
    Seimei-dono?
[06:19] Yamazaki
    Do you know him?
[06:21] Yoshinobu
    Yes, I do, but why him?
[06:25] Yamazaki
    Yoshinobu-sama, wouldn't
    this be our best chance
[06:29] Yamazaki
    to save the emperor while
    Mugensai has lost his powers?
[06:34] Yoshinobu
    It certainly would be, but we don't
    have enough strength right now.
[06:39] Yoshinobu
    Unlike the basement cell where I was kept, the
    emperor is kept in the highest cell in the castle.
[06:45] Yoshinobu
    The defense is the heaviest there,
     so getting him out won't be easy.
[06:49] Yamazaki
    That's true.
[06:51] Yoshinobu
    Kasumi, please write back.
[06:54] Yoshinobu
    We will begin the search for Seimei-dono.
[06:58] Yoshinobu
    If an opportunity to save the emperor
    presents itself, have her let us know.
[07:02] Kasumi
    Understood!
[07:22] Head Susanoo Soldier
    Progress is currently at 75%.
[07:25] Head Susanoo Soldier
    Production is going smoothly—
[07:26] Mugensai
    Wasn't progress supposed
    to be at over 90% by now?
[07:31] Head Susanoo Soldier
    My apologies.
[07:32] Head Susanoo Soldier
    No one in Japan has ever
    made these things before.
[07:36] Mugensai
    Enough of your excuses.
    Just hurry up and finish them.
[07:40] Head Susanoo Soldier
    Yes, sir!
[07:46] Mugensai
    I still can't use it.
[07:56] Mugensai
    Hisako, summon one of my twelve
    commanders, Musashibo Benkei.
[08:10] Hyo
    "We will begin the search for Seimei-dono."
[08:13] Hyo
    "If an opportunity to save the emperor
    presents itself, please let us know."
[08:18] Hyo
    That's all.
[08:21] Mikado
    They're asking too much.
[08:22] Hyo
    But Yoshinobu-sama—
[08:23] Mikado
    I know.
[08:25] Mikado
    But it is simply not possible.
[08:29] Mikado
    You've put yourself in enough danger
    just finding out about the chronometer.
(Flashback) [08:43] Mugensai
    Who's there?
(Flashback) [08:45] Susanoo Soldier
    Pardon me.
[08:54] Hyo
    My life belongs to Yoshinobu-sama.
    I don't care about the risks.
[09:00] Mikado
    Good grief. I'm surrounded by reckless people,
    like that Takasugi Shinsaku from the other day.
[09:06] Mikado
    But perhaps that recklessness
    can be a weapon.
[09:11] Mikado
    Hyo, I'm sorry to ask this, but...
[09:13] Hyo
    I'm all ready! Leave everything to me!
[09:19] Mikado
    I didn't even say anything yet.
[09:23] Yamazaki
    I'm sorry the meal is so meager again.
[09:26] Yoshinobu
    Don't be silly.
[09:27] Yoshinobu
    You even provided something nice
    to drink, and a warrior has to—
[09:31] Kasumi
    What is the matter, Yoshinobu-sama?
[09:35] Yamazaki
    Did you hurt yourself when
    you caught Kasumi earlier?
[09:48] Yoshinobu
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[09:50] Yamazaki
    Not at all.
[09:51] Kasumi
    Yoshinobu-sama!
[09:53] Kasumi
    This is all my fault for
    being so inexperienced!
[09:56] Kasumi
    I will accept any punishment!
[09:59] Yoshinobu
    Don't be silly.
[10:01] Yamazaki
    The bone isn't damaged.
[10:03] Yamazaki
    It appears to just be bruised,
    so it will heal quickly.
[10:09] Yamazaki
    Kasumi, maybe you can go get some
    more medicinal herbs, just in case?
[10:14] Kasumi
    I will do so!
[10:19] Yoshinobu
    This brings back memories, huh?
[10:25] Yamazaki
    Oh, you mean of the time we first met.
[10:27] Yoshinobu
    Yes, it was when I had gone
    to Osaka for an inspection.
(Flashback) [10:36] Warrior A
    Yoshinobu-sama!
(Flashback) [10:37] Warrior B
    What is the matter?
(Flashback) [10:39] Yoshinobu
    I got dizzy all of a sudden...
(Flashback) [10:41] Yamazaki
    Excuse me.
(Flashback) [10:43] Warrior A
    Who are you?
(Flashback) [10:45] Warrior B
    We don't need your help!
(Flashback) [10:47] Yamazaki
    Does it hurt anywhere?
(Flashback) [10:49] Yoshinobu
    No...
(Flashback) [10:51] Yamazaki
    What did he eat this morning?
(Flashback) [10:53] Warrior A
    He has a very busy schedule,
    so he didn't eat anything.
(Flashback) [10:58] Yamazaki
    Please add this to hot water and drink it.
SIGN    Tea
(Flashback) [11:06] Yamazaki
    Do you feel better?
(Flashback) [11:08] Yoshinobu
    Yes, but what did you put in the hot water?
(Flashback) [11:12] Yamazaki
    Just some brown sugar.
(Flashback) [11:14] Yoshinobu
    Brown sugar...
(Flashback) [11:16] Yoshinobu
    What a splendid treatment. Are you a doctor?
(Flashback) [11:19] Yamazaki
    No, I just picked it up from somewhere.
(Flashback) [11:23] Yamazaki
    I'll be going now.
(Flashback) [11:27] Yoshinobu
    Wait.
(Flashback) [11:29] Yoshinobu
    What's your name?
(Flashback) [11:33] Yamazaki
    Susumu.
(Flashback) [11:34] Yamazaki
    Yamazaki Susumu.
[11:40] Yamazaki
    That feels like such a long time ago.
[11:43] Yoshinobu
    So much has happened since then.
[11:49] Yamazaki
    But I was so surprised when you
    gave me a sword as thanks.
[11:54] Yoshinobu
    You did the same to me.
[11:57] Yoshinobu
    I was surprised when I learned that
    you were a member of the Shinsengumi.
[12:02] Yoshinobu
    But then, he appeared.
[12:08] Yamazaki
    I'm so sorry. I tried to save
    you, but I took too long.
[12:13] Yoshinobu
    Not at all. In fact, allow
    me to thank you again.
[12:17] Yoshinobu
    Thank you so much for
    supporting me until now.
[12:23] Yamazaki
    You are mistaken, Yoshinobu-sama.
[12:28] Yamazaki
    It's not just until now. I'm
    going to keep supporting you.
[12:38] Benkei
    So, who should I take down?
[12:41] Mugensai
    Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
[12:44] Benkei
    Oh? I thought you were keeping him in
    the castle. Are you sure about this?
[12:49] Mugensai
    I was keeping him alive out of consideration
    of his relationship with the emperor.
[12:53] Mugensai
    But now that he's escaped,
    it's another matter.
[12:56] Benkei
    Do you know where he is?
[12:59] Mugensai
    Of course, I have a clue.
[13:03] Hyo
    E-E-E-Emperor!
[13:05] Mikado
    What is it?
[13:07] Hyo
    We're in big trouble!
[13:18] Mugensai
    Tell Benkei to follow that owl.
[13:32] Takasugi
    Well, I'm all out of ideas.
[13:35] Katsura
    The assistance funds we received
    from Sakamoto-kun have been depleted,
[13:39] Katsura
    and we're at our limits
    for cutting food costs.
[13:41] Takasugi
    I can't fight on an empty stomach.
[13:49] Takasugi
    That's...
[13:51] Katsura
    It's odd to see one during the day.
[13:55] Takasugi
    What do you say to some yakitori?
[13:57] Katsura
    Come on, Shinsaku...
[14:00] Takasugi
    Is there something on its foot?
[14:01] Benkei
    You there.
[14:04] Benkei
    Have you seen an owl with a letter
    attached to its foot around here?
[14:09] Takasugi
    What do you want with an owl,
    you old-fashioned monk?
[14:15] Benkei
    If you won't tell me, then...
[14:18] Takasugi
    Sounds fun! Wanna go?
[14:21] Katsura
    Stop it, Shinsaku. What good
    is fighting him going to do?
[14:24] Takasugi
    He started it. Don't stop me, Katsura.
[14:27] Takasugi
    If you wanna stop me, I'll just do this!
[14:30] Katsura
    Quit it! Don't do that!
[14:31] Takasugi
    Let me go, then!
[14:33] Katsura
    Not happening!
[14:35] Katsura
    We need to avoid unnecessary fighting!
[14:37] Takasugi
    Now you're starting to sound like Sakamoto!
[14:39] Benkei
    You're lucky, young man.
[14:45] Katsura
    Shinsaku, that mask...
[14:50] Katsura
    That mask is just like the
    one that Matsuo Basho wore!
[14:53] Takasugi
    So he's one of the twelve
    commanders of Susanoo? After him!
[14:56] Katsura
    Huh?
[14:57] Takasugi
    I'm on the trail of something interesting!
[15:00] Katsura
    Wait, Shinsaku!
[15:10] Kasumi
    W-W-W-We're in trouble!
[15:17] Kasumi
    Hurry! The assassin is already on his way!
[15:20] Yamazaki
    Yoshinobu-sama, how's your right hand?
[15:23] Yoshinobu
    It's fine.
[15:28] Yamazaki
    Who are you?
[15:29] Benkei
    One of the twelve commanders
    of Susanoo, Musashibo Benkei.
[15:34] Yoshinobu
    The legendary...
[15:36] Yamazaki
    I guess we don't need to
    discuss anything else, then.
[15:39] Benkei
    That makes things easier.
[15:41] Yoshinobu
    I'm the one he wants. I'll handle this.
[15:44] Yamazaki
    No, please stand back.
[15:47] Yamazaki
    You can't handle a sword in your condition.
[15:49] Yoshinobu
    But...
[15:51] Yamazaki
    Kasumi, please guard Yoshinobu-sama.
[15:54] Kasumi
    I will do so.
[16:25] Kasumi
    He's so light on his feet!
[16:28] Yoshinobu
    Just like Ushiwakamaru, who learned
    swordsmanship from a Kurama tengu.
[16:40] Yoshinobu
    All right!
[16:41] Kasumi
    He got him!
[16:44] Benkei
    That was a nice move.
[16:51] Yamazaki
    What?!
[16:52] Yoshinobu
    It can't be! Is he actually...
[16:56] Kasumi
    ...wearing swords all over his body?!
[16:59] Benkei
    As a reward, Mugensai has allowed me to keep
    the swords of all those I have defeated.
[17:05] Benkei
    So far, I have 999 swords.
[17:09] Benkei
    I have picked the best swords from that
    lot to serve as my protective armor.
[17:13] Benkei
    Rejoice, for your sword will
    be the thousandth one.
[17:18] Yamazaki
    I see now.
[17:19] Yamazaki
    You came here because you can't be
[17:22] Yamazaki
    reunited with your true master until
    you obtain the thousandth sword.
[17:27] Benkei
    My true master?
[17:30] Benkei
    I serve no one!
[17:32] Benkei
    I'm only using Mugensai to gather my swords.
[17:37] Yamazaki
    How pitiful.
[17:38] Yamazaki
    A man who has no master to protect
[17:41] Yamazaki
    is after swords that are
    the symbol of the warrior.
[17:44] Yamazaki
    I've never heard anything more ridiculous.
[17:46] Benkei
    How dare you, you brat?
[17:52] Katsura
    Wait, Shinsaku! I'm out of breath!
[17:56] Takasugi
    Seriously? You're so lazy.
[17:58] Katsura
    What do you hope to accomplish by going after
    one of the twelve commanders, anyway?
[18:03] Takasugi
    It's like Shoin-sensei said,
[18:06] Takasugi
    "It is a crime against humanity to sit idly
    by and let an opportunity go to waste."
[18:11] Takasugi
    Besides, we might find a clue
    on how to destroy Mugensai.
[18:15] Katsura
    You might be right.
[18:17] Takasugi
    Okay, then, let's go!
[18:27] Benkei
    How's that for you?!
[18:31] Yoshinobu
    It's unbelievable how well he can move
[18:34] Yoshinobu
    with all those swords attached to him.
[18:37] Kasumi
    He is a fearsome opponent.
[18:42] Benkei
    What was that about a man who
    doesn't have a master to protect?
[18:46] Benkei
    You can barely protect yourself
    like this, let alone your master!
[18:51] Yoshinobu
    Susumu!
[18:52] Yoshinobu
    That's enough. Drop your sword!
[18:55] Yamazaki
    But...
[18:56] Yoshinobu
    Do it!
[18:59] Yamazaki
    Understood.
[19:06] Benkei
    So you've finally accepted your defeat?
[19:11] Benkei
    What is this?
[19:13] Yamazaki
    I wanted to defeat you with the
    sword I received from Yoshinobu-sama.
[19:18] Yamazaki
    Here I come!
[19:24] Yamazaki
    Even if the swords are protecting you, you
    should still feel the power of those impacts.
[19:31] Benkei
    Impudent brat!
[19:48] Kasumi
    This is...
[19:49] Yoshinobu
    Susumu was originally a master of the staff.
[19:53] Yoshinobu
    He had never actually touched a sword
    before until I presented him with one.
[19:58] Kasumi
    Then what was all that before?
[20:00] Yoshinobu
    He was fighting with an unfamiliar
    sword out of loyalty to me.
[20:11] Benkei
    Don't be so cocky!
[20:22] Benkei
    You damn brat!
[20:31] Yamazaki
    Let's end this.
[20:45] Benkei
    He flew?!
[20:55] Yamazaki
    You wanted the thousandth one, right?
[21:10] Yoshinobu
    So in the end, Benkei was
    brought to a standstill.
[21:19] Takasugi
    Is that... Tokugawa Yoshinobu?
[21:22] Katsura
    What?!
[21:27] Katsura
    That's...
[21:30] Katsura
    Look. That looks like good steel material.
[21:38] Yoshinobu
    That was a splendid fight, Susumu.
[21:41] Yamazaki
    I am blessed with a good master.
[21:45] Yoshinobu
    Don't be ridiculous. I am the one
    who is blessed with good vassals.
[21:49] Yoshinobu
    Like Kasumi, and Hyo,
[21:53] Yoshinobu
    and you as well, Susumu.
[21:59] Yoshinobu
    How many times have you saved my life now?
[22:03] Yamazaki
    It's like I said.
[22:05] Yamazaki
    I will keep saving you as long as I live.
[22:13] Yoshinobu
    I'll be counting on that.
[23:50] Katsura
    Shinsaku, I have a favor to ask you.
[23:52] Takasugi
    Why so formal?
[23:53] Katsura
    Let me say what the next
    episode is sometimes!
[23:55] Takasugi
    Sure thing!
[23:56] Katsura
    Really? Thanks!
[23:57] Katsura
    Next time on episode 7 of Bakumatsu:
SIGN    Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!
[23:59] Katsura
    "Runaway Express! Don't Die, Katsura!"
[24:01] Takasugi
    We'll show you something
    interesting next week, too!
[24:02] Katsura
    Hey! Damn it!
