[00:03] Katsura
    I've been looking for you.
[00:05] Katsura
    You're going to take me
    to where Sakamoto-kun is.
[00:09] Katsura
    He's the one who has
    the chronometer, isn't he?
[00:14] Izo
    What are you talking about?
[00:29] Katsura
    Let me see Sakamoto-kun!
[00:30] Izo
    Not a chance.
[00:32] Katsura
    What is he going to do with the chronometer?!
[00:34] Izo
    I don't have to tell you anything.
[01:01] Katsura
    Huh?
[01:03] Katsura
    That sensation... Time was turned back?
[01:09] Katsura
    The sliced bamboo is whole again.
[01:13] Katsura
    You used the chronometer,
    didn't you, Sakamoto-kun?
SIGN    Udon
[01:19] Sakamoto
    I was thinking about getting some udon,
[01:22] Sakamoto
    but you weren't at the hideout, so I
    turned back time to just before you left.
[01:28] Izo
    Are you saying you used the
    chronometer just for that?
[01:35] Izo
    Katsura-san is looking for us.
[01:37] Sakamoto
    That can't be good.
[01:40] Sakamoto
    Well, for now, let's dig in.

SIGN    Yoshinobu's Thoughts and Kondo's Feelings
[03:22] Takasugi
    A world without anything interesting is—
[03:28] Takasugi
    This feeling... The chronometer's been used?
[03:31] Takasugi
    So someone definitely has it, then.
[03:34] Takasugi
    Hey, Katsura.
[03:37] Takasugi
    That's right, Katsura's out right now.
[03:41] Takasugi
    And Seimei is still passed out.
[03:45] Takasugi
    He must've used up a lot of strength.
[03:50] Takasugi
    But Katsura sure is late.
[03:52] Takasugi
    Where the heck did he wander off to?
SIGN    Udon
[03:58] Izo
    What are you going to do now?
[04:01] Sakamoto
    About what?
[04:02] Izo
    Katsura-san asked me something similar.
[04:05] Izo
    "How are you going to use the
    chronometer now that you have it?"
[04:12] Sakamoto
    I was thinking about helping out Takasugi-san
[04:15] Sakamoto
    with returning time back to
    its proper flow and whatnot.
[04:19] Sakamoto
    But after hearing Katsura-san's side
    of things, I can't really do that.
[04:26] Izo
    What do you mean?
[04:27] Sakamoto
    Katsura-san told me that he saw what
    happens after time is restored.
[04:33] Izo
    What happens after time is restored?
[04:38] Sakamoto
    Takasugi-san will die then.
[04:44] Sakamoto
    That's what'll happen if I grant his wish.
[04:51] Sakamoto
    Pretty troubling, isn't it?
[04:58] Sakamoto
    So, what am I supposed to do?
[05:04] Sakamoto
    Aren't you going to eat, Izo?
     You'd better eat before the noodles get soggy.
[05:09] Sakamoto
    Should I turn back time before they do?
[05:12] Izo
    Idiot! Don't!
[05:13] Sakamoto
    What the heck, Izo? It's just a joke!
SIGN    This shamo nabe is great, Nakaoka-kun.
SIGN    It could fend off a cold!
[05:36] Nakaoka
    I'm glad you like it.
[05:38] Nakaoka
    With imperial rule finally restored,
[05:40] Nakaoka
    we can't have one of its leading
    figures catching a cold, can we?
SIGN    You said it!
SIGN    What's all that racket?
SIGN    The hell?!
[05:52] Assassin A
    Get them!
[06:12] Sakamoto
    What was that?
[06:16] Izo
    If that's the correct timeline
     that Katsura-san saw,
[06:20] Izo
    and that's what is actually
    going to happen...
[06:27] Sakamoto
    Then that's how I'm going to die.
[06:38] Yamazaki
    Yoshinobu-sama.
[06:40] Yoshinobu
    Susumu? Come in.
[06:44] Yamazaki
    Pardon the intrusion.
[06:45] Yoshinobu
    How did you fare?
[06:47] Yamazaki
    Forgive me. I had a bit of trouble.
[06:51] Yoshinobu
    I see.
[06:53] Yoshinobu
    Do your best not to let it be discovered
[06:56] Yoshinobu
    that I'm trying to contact him.
[06:58] Yamazaki
    Yes, sir.
[06:59] Yoshinobu
    Thank you for your help.
    I'll finish my letter shortly.
[07:04] Yamazaki
    Understood.
[07:09] Sakamoto
    It's kinda ironic, isn't it?
[07:12] Sakamoto
    I get my hands on the treasure
    that can control time,
[07:14] Sakamoto
    and it shows me how I'm going to die.
[07:17] Sakamoto
    I shouldn't have wasted
    my time worrying about
[07:19] Sakamoto
    Takasugi-san and Katsura-san, I guess.
[07:21] Izo
    You're awfully blasé about this.
[07:25] Sakamoto
    I didn't expect to meet my end so soon.
[07:31] Sakamoto
    This world is vague, anyway.
[07:34] Sakamoto
    It's incoherent and elusive.
[07:37] Sakamoto
    Takasugi-san is trying to lead
    it in the right direction.
[07:41] Sakamoto
    It's pretty impressive.
[07:43] Izo
    Are you going to help him, then?
[07:46] Izo
    With the chronometer, he could definitely
    return time to its proper flow.
[07:51] Izo
    But if he does—
[07:52] Sakamoto
    I know.
[07:53] Izo
    Then what are you going to do?
[07:57] Sakamoto
    I'm going to think about it.
[08:01] Izo
    Ryoma...
[08:03] Sakamoto
    But I'll be the one to decide
[08:08] Sakamoto
    what's right and what's interesting.
SIGN    CRISIS
[08:25] Katsura
    What's Seimei doing here?
[08:28] Takasugi
    Well, let's just say it's complicated.
[08:31] Takasugi
    Where have you been, anyway?
[08:35] Katsura
    I was just out for a bit.
[08:37] Takasugi
    All night long?
[08:38] Katsura
    What are you insinuating?
[08:40] Takasugi
    Katsura, you've been hiding
    something from me, haven't you?
[08:46] Katsura
    What are you talking about?
[08:48] Takasugi
    I'm asking you because I don't know.
    Look me in the eye and answer me.
[08:53] Katsura
    I'm not hiding anything.
[08:59] Takasugi
    I felt time being turned back last night.
[09:03] Katsura
    Maybe you were just imagining
    things? I didn't feel anything.
[09:06] Takasugi
    Where were you then?
[09:08] Katsura
    Where was I?
[09:10] Katsura
    I told you, I didn't feel anything.
[09:13] Takasugi
    Then what were you doing?
[09:14] Katsura
    What does it matter?!
[09:16] Takasugi
    Listen, Katsura.
[09:17] Takasugi
    We're supposed to be focusing on getting
    the chronometer as soon as possible,
[09:21] Takasugi
    and restoring this world's
    timeline its proper course.
[09:25] Takasugi
    That was what Master Shoin wanted, as well.
[09:28] Katsura
    Yes, I know.
[09:30] Takasugi
    As his students, we inherited his dying
    wish, so we have to work together.
[09:35] Takasugi
    And yet you still insist on keeping
    things from me, even now?
[09:38] Katsura
    Look, I told you...
[09:41] Takasugi
    How long do you think
    we've known each other?
[09:44] Takasugi
    You really think I couldn't tell?
[09:46] Takasugi
    What the hell are you playing at?!
[09:49] Katsura
    That's enough.
[09:51] Katsura
    So, what, then? Am I supposed to share
    every little detail with you about everything?
[09:56] Katsura
    Are you telling me I'm not
    allowed to do as I see fit?
[09:58] Takasugi
    That's not what I'm saying!
[10:00] Takasugi
    I'm saying I don't like you keeping
    things about the chronometer from me!
[10:07] Katsura
    You're the one who always mistreats me.
[10:12] Katsura
    You have no regard for anyone else.
[10:16] Katsura
    You're a dumbass, Shinsaku!
[10:20] Takasugi
    Excuse me?! Say that again, I dare you!
[10:23] Katsura
    I'll say it as many times as
    I have to! You're a dumbass!
[10:28] Takasugi
    Damn you!
[10:32] Katsura
    Bastard!
[10:36] Takasugi
    Katsura!
[10:37] Kasumi & Hyo
    We've come to see how Seimei is doing—wha?!
[10:41] Kasumi & Hyo
    What are you two doing?!
[10:43] Kasumi
    Stop fighting!
[10:45] Hyo
    Let it go!
[10:47] Kasumi
    Good grief, what is going on with you two?
[10:50] Hyo
    Has something happened?
[10:56] Takasugi
    It's nothing.
[10:58] Katsura
    Sorry. Everything's fine.
[11:02] Takasugi
    What do you two want, anyway?
[11:04] Takasugi
    If you're looking for Seimei, he's still asleep.
[11:09] Kasumi
    Doesn't look like he'll
    wake up anytime soon.
[11:11] Hyo
    Do you mind if he stays
    here for a while longer?
[11:16] Takasugi
    No, we don't mind. Right, Katsura?
[11:20] Katsura
    Not at all.
[11:38] Yamazaki
    You're walking rather slowly.
[11:42] Kondo
    I've been summoned by the former
    master I had parted ways with.
[11:46] Kondo
    You understand my reluctance.
[11:49] Kondo
    Nonetheless, I knew you were bold,
    but I didn't foresee you
[11:52] Kondo
    sneaking into our headquarters where
    hundreds of our men are gathered.
[11:56] Kondo
    I was shocked when your face
    appeared from the attic in my room.
[12:02] Yamazaki
    I promised Yoshinobu-sama that I would
    do whatever it took to bring you to him.
[12:09] Kondo
    Still devoted as ever, I see.
[12:11] Yamazaki
    I used to think the same
    thing about you, Kondo-san.
[12:23] Yamazaki
    Pardon the intrusion.
[12:28] Yamazaki
    I've brought him.
[12:30] Kondo
    Kondo Isami, commander of the
    Shinsengumi, reporting as requested.
[12:35] Yoshinobu
    It's been a while, Kondo-kun.
[12:39] Yoshinobu
    Thank you for coming.
[12:43] Kondo
    First, allow me to apologize.
[12:47] Yoshinobu
    Apologize?
[12:49] Kondo
    It was entirely my decision to follow
    a new master without your permission.
[12:58] Yoshinobu
    That's what you meant?
[13:00] Yoshinobu
    Don't trouble yourself. You're still
    keeping your promise to me, even now.
[13:05] Kondo
    Sir?
[13:07] Yoshinobu
    I am the one who ordered
    you to survive, after all.
(Flashback) [13:13] Yoshinobu
    This is an order, Kondo.
(Flashback) [13:17] Yoshinobu
    Survive, no matter what happens.
[13:24] Yoshinobu
    That was what was best for you and
    the Shinsengumi that you hold dear.
[13:37] Kondo
    What did you want to speak to me about?
[13:39] Yoshinobu
    Have you ever wondered what things
    should be like here in Kyoto...
[13:45] Yoshinobu
    no, here in Japan?
[13:47] Kondo
    I am a warrior wholly dedicated
    to serving my master.
[13:52] Kondo
    A mere soldier doesn't have
    a say in the way things are run.
[13:55] Yoshinobu
    I figured you'd say something like that.
[13:57] Yoshinobu
    But I believe that way of
    thinking itself should change.
[14:02] Kondo
    What do you mean?
[14:04] Yoshinobu
    In the coming world, there will
    be no way for one's standing
[14:08] Yoshinobu
    to determine the life one lives.
[14:11] Yoshinobu
    Everyone will be born equal,
    and anyone can be involved in politics.
[14:15] Yoshinobu
    All will determine how the country should be
    and bear responsibility for their decisions.
[14:20] Yoshinobu
    These are the kinds of ideas
    that are needed in a new world.
[14:24] Yoshinobu
    And only with that sort of system
[14:27] Yoshinobu
    will the world be eternally at peace.
[14:31] Yoshinobu
    Don't you agree?
[14:35] Kondo
    That is quite the idea.
[14:38] Kondo
    You said it would be a peaceful world.
[14:43] Kondo
    But that is precisely
    what a warrior protects.
[14:46] Kondo
    It is our mission to protect
    the world as it is now.
[14:52] Yoshinobu
    But, Kondo-kun, surely even you
    must have come to understand...
[14:57] Yoshinobu
    The age of the warrior initiated by
    Gongen-sama has continued for 250 years,
[15:01] Yoshinobu
    but can we really expect it to
    keep going for 500 years?
SIGN    Mugensai-dono
[15:17] Kondo
    What is this?
[15:18] Yoshinobu
    It is high time that Japan was reborn anew.
[15:23] Yoshinobu
    The first step will be to reorganize the
    roles of those involved in the government.
[15:29] Yoshinobu
    This is the plan I have come up with myself.
[15:32] Yoshinobu
    Kondo-kun, would you be willing to
    pass this on to Mugensai-dono for me?
[15:38] Kondo
    A new Japan?
[15:42] Mikado
    I'm asking this favor of you, too.
[15:45] Kondo
    Emperor!
[15:49] Yoshinobu
    My emperor, forgive me for troubling
    you with my rude request.
[15:54] Mikado
    I don't mind at all.
[15:57] Mikado
    Making Japan anew, though...
[16:02] Mikado
    I've become fed up with the way
    of life that's been thrust on me.
[16:06] Mikado
    Hey, Kondo, at least try
    to tell Mugensai about
[16:11] Mikado
    the new world Yoshinobu has envisioned.
[16:39] Kondo
    Forgive me, Yoshinobu-sama.
[16:43] Kondo
    Emperor, you will come with
    me to my master's castle.
[16:48] Yoshinobu
    Kondo-kun?
[16:51] Mikado
    You...
[16:54] Kondo
    Mugensai-sama desires your presence
[16:57] Kondo
    in order to make a true warrior world.
(Flashback) [17:02] Kondo
    Mugensai-sama, Yamazaki
    Susumu has approached me.
(Flashback) [17:07] Mugensai
    What?
(Flashback) [17:09] Kondo
    He told me that Lord Yoshinobu
    wishes to meet with me in secret.
(Flashback) [17:15] Mugensai
    Yoshinobu does?
(Flashback) [17:17] Ranmaru
    You don't actually intend
    to meet with him, do you?
(Flashback) [17:20] Ranmaru
    Is being summoned by your former master
    suddenly causing your devotion to waver?
(Flashback) [17:25] Kondo
    No, my master is Mugensai-sama,
    and him alone.
(Flashback) [17:29] Kondo
    That is why I have reported to him and
    am requesting his orders on this matter.
(Flashback) [17:35] Mugensai
    Kondo, accept Yoshinobu's request.
(Flashback) [17:40] Mugensai
    This is the perfect opportunity.
(Flashback) [17:42] Mugensai
    The emperor should also be attending
    this secret meeting with Yoshinobu.
(Flashback) [17:47] Mugensai
    Capture him and bring him to me!
(Flashback) [17:50] Kondo
    Yes, sir.
[17:54] Kondo
    Emperor, you will come with me.
[18:01] Yamazaki
    I'm disappointed in you, Kondo-san!
[18:03] Yamazaki
    I thought Yoshinobu-sama was
    someone important to you, as well!
[18:06] Kondo
    Of course he is, and those
    feelings will never change.
[18:10] Kondo
    But that is only because of Mugensai-sama.
[18:13] Kondo
    Mugensai-sama and the emperor...
    With the two of them together,
[18:16] Kondo
    our warrior world will
    begin to gain stability.
[18:19] Kondo
    Yoshinobu-sama's peace
    can only be gained then.
[18:22] Yamazaki
    What you're talking about is
    beyond absurd, you traitor!
[18:29] Yamazaki
    Get out of my way!
[18:40] Yoshinobu
    Susumu!
[18:41] Mikado
    Yamazaki!
[18:44] Kondo
    I hit you with the back of my blade,
    but you probably broke a few ribs.
[18:51] Yamazaki
    Kondo...
[18:58] Kondo
    Emperor, come with us.
[19:02] Mikado
    Fine. I will do as you say.
[19:03] Yoshinobu
    Emperor!
[19:05] Mikado
    Don't worry.
[19:07] Mikado
    I'll tell Mugensai about your plans myself.
[19:14] Mikado
    Please take care of Yamazaki.
[19:19] Yamazaki
    Emperor...
[19:23] Yoshinobu
    Susumu!
[21:00] Izo
    Ryoma, don't use the chronometer
    on pointless things.
[21:04] Sakamoto
    What're you talking about?
[21:05] Izo
    The udon, remember?
[21:06] Izo
    You said you turned back time
[21:08] Izo
    because you wanted to eat
    udon and I wasn't there.
[21:10] Sakamoto
    Oh, yeah, that's right.
[21:12] Izo
    It's not a good idea to use the
    chronometer on things like that.
[21:14] Sakamoto
    Really? But it's not like
    it could hurt anything,
[21:17] Sakamoto
    and no one can really criticize me for it,
[21:20] Sakamoto
    so what does it matter what I use it on?
[21:22] Izo
    It does matter.
[21:24] Izo
    I get the feeling it will have
    some bearing on the story.
[21:27] Sakamoto
    That's just a hunch you have.
[21:29] Sakamoto
    Well, when can I use it, then?
[21:31] Izo
    Nothing comes to mind at the moment...
[21:33] Sakamoto
    See? Told ya.
[21:34] Izo
    But there has to be a better way to use it.
[21:36] Sakamoto
    Like when I want to eat udon.
[21:39] Izo
    Forget about the udon.
[21:41] Sakamoto
    What if I press the button when
    I feel a drop of rain on my collar?
[21:44] Izo
    Denied.
[21:45] Sakamoto
    Then what about when I'm going to eat udon...
[21:48] Izo
    I just said...
[21:49] Sakamoto
    ...and, oh, no! A sudden downpour!
[21:51] Sakamoto
    What if I press the button to
    go back and get my umbrella?
[21:53] Izo
    Definitely denied.
[21:55] Sakamoto
    What if I press it when
    I cut my bangs too short?
[21:57] Izo
    You just keep coming up
    with ridiculous examples!
[22:00] Sakamoto
    How are they ridiculous?
    I'm the one who gets to decide.
[22:04] Izo
    You can't just smooth-talk
    your way out of this.
[22:06] Sakamoto
    Jeez... How would you use it, then?
[22:10] Izo
    Well, for example...
[22:11] Sakamoto
    For example?
[22:12] Izo
    I would pick more meaningful,
[22:14] Izo
    and truly serious moments.
[22:17] Izo
    Moments where I'll regret
    it if I don't use it.
[22:20] Sakamoto
    Yeah? Such as?
[22:21] Izo
    Like if I took a nap in the grass,
    and suddenly it was night.
[22:24] Sakamoto
    Makes sense! Click!
[22:26] Izo
    Or when you start dating someone,
[22:27] Izo
    but later, they say they want to break up.
[22:29] Sakamoto
    That's not good! Click!
[22:31] Izo
    Or if the lid to the soy sauce came off,
[22:33] Izo
    and it got all over my favorite
    boiled fish I'd made.
[22:36] Sakamoto
    You'd press it then?!
[22:38] Sakamoto
    You're no different than me!
[22:40] Izo
    What? These things are important!
[22:42] Izo
    It would make a mess of the
    fish I worked so hard on!
[22:44] Izo
    This is boiled fish I'm
    talking about! Boiled fish!
[22:46] Sakamoto
    Oh, shut up!
[22:48] Sakamoto
    You totally lose all perspective
    when it comes to boiled fish.
[22:51] Izo
    Speaking of, I bought some yellowtail.
[22:53] Sakamoto
    Huh?
[22:54] Izo
    I had the freshest yellowtail
    reserved for me at the market.
[22:57] Sakamoto
    Is that so?
[22:58] Izo
    It was nice and plump, too.
[23:00] Izo
    It would make delicious stock...
[23:04] Izo
    What's that smell?
[23:05] Sakamoto
    Well, I felt bad about you
    making dinner all the time,
[23:09] Sakamoto
    so I thought I'd make dinner tonight.
[23:12] Sakamoto
    And there was some good
    yellowtail in the kitchen.
[23:15] Sakamoto
    Wow, it looks so good!
[23:17] Sakamoto
    The fat is sizzling, the skin
    is well-done and golden brown,
[23:19] Sakamoto
    and the inside is piping
    hot, soft and flaky!
[23:22] Izo
    So you grilled them?
[23:23] Izo

    Huh?
[23:30] Izo
    Get out the chronometer, Ryoma!
[23:32] Izo
    Go back! Go back in time to before
    you grilled my yellowtail!
[23:35] Sakamoto
    Stop it, Izo!
[23:36] Izo
    You won't get away with this, Ryoma!
[23:43] Izo
    Ryoma, don't use the chronometer
    on pointless things.
[23:46] Sakamoto
    What're you talking about?

[23:52] Hijikata
    A pure person who wanders
    through the eternity of time...
