[00:26] Nio
    Oh, right.
[00:29] Nio
    I escorting Kikuchiyo-san
    to Nijo Castle, and then...
[00:49] Nio
    Huh?
[00:51] Nio
    What?
[00:53] Nio
    Kikuchiyo-san?
[00:55] Nio
    Wh-What's wrong? Why so formal?
[01:00] Nio
    Wait, who are you?

[02:35] Kagemaru
    Pardon me for disturbing you
    at this late hour.
[02:38] Kagemaru
    My family has long served the line
    of shoguns as their shadows.
[02:45] Nio
    Sh-Shadows?
[02:47] Nio
    Does he mean as body double?
[02:49] Nio
    I've heard of them,
    but I didn't know they really existed.
[02:53] Kagemaru
    The member of my family who most
    closely resembles the Shogun gets chosen.
[02:59] Kagemaru
    And, well, that was my humble self.
[03:02] Nio
    Forgive me, but you look
    almost nothing alike!
[03:05] Nio
    U-Um, what's your name?
[03:08] Kagemaru
    A shadow has no name.
[03:10] Nio
    This guy's kind of a pain!
[03:13] Kagemaru
    For saving my lord in his time of need,
[03:17] Kagemaru
    you have my sincerest gratitude.
[03:21] Nio
    O-Oh, please. So many people
    have thanked me already.
[03:25] Nio
    I don't deserve more.
[03:26] Nio
    Um, please raise your head.
[03:29] Kagemaru
    Unworthy though I am, this is how I feel.
     Please permit me to show it to my satisfaction.
[03:38] Kagemaru
    Now...
[03:41] Nio
    He acts like the real thing!
[03:43] Kagemaru
    Accompanying His Lordship
    must have been eye-opening.
[03:45] Nio
    Huh?
[03:46] Kagemaru
    His Lordship prizes the lives
     of others above his own.
[03:52] Nio
    Yes, that did surprise me.
[03:56] Nio
    I mean, he's the Shogun.
[03:58] Kagemaru
    Yes, he is. And yet...
[04:01] Nio
    That's no courtly laugh!
[04:05] Nio
    U-Um, is Kikuchiyo-san...
[04:09] Nio
    He's gone.
[04:11] Kagemaru
    Master Nio, I promise to rush
    to your aid in your hour of need.
[04:17] Nio
    Th-Thank you.
[04:26] Nio
    Huh? What's going on?
[04:29] Nio
    I hear voices in the distance.
[04:31] Crowd B
    Expel the barbarians!
[04:32] Crowd A
    Foreigners out!
[04:33] Crowd B
    Expel the barbarians!
[04:35] Crowd A
    Foreigners out!
[04:36] Nio
    "Expel the barbarians"? It can't be!
    Inside Nijo Castle? But why?
[04:37] Crowd B
    Expel the barbarians!
[04:39] Crowd A
    Foreigners out!
[04:40] Crowd B
    Expel the barbarians!
[04:42] Crowd A
    Foreigners out!
[04:42] Nio
    I-I'm tired. Time to sleep.
[04:51] Nio
    Where am I? The fog's so thick.
[04:57] Nio
    I can hear water.
[05:00] Nio
    Is this a river, maybe?
[05:03] Nio
    Here goes.
[05:05] Nio
    Wait, could this be...
[05:08] Kikuchiyo
    Ow.
[05:13] Kikuchiyo
    Is a headbutt any way to repay me for
    my concern over your tossing and turning?
[05:18] Nio
    Kikuchiyo-san! It's really you this time!
[05:23] Kikuchiyo
    You saw the River Sanzu?
[05:25] Nio
    Y-Yes, I did.
[05:28] Nio
    I nearly crossed over
    to the land of the dead.
[05:31] Kikuchiyo
    That's strange.
[05:33] Kikuchiyo
    Your wounds aren't life-threatening.
[05:36] Nio
    Huh?
[05:37] Nio
    I, uh, guess you're right.
[05:42] Nio
    What was that river, then?
[05:45] Kikuchiyo
    That aside, I'm astonished
    Kagemaru showed himself.
[05:50] Nio
    So that man is called Kagemaru?
[05:52] Kikuchiyo
    Yes. That was truly unusual.
[05:55] Kikuchiyo
    I suppose it shows how much
    gratitude he feels toward you.
[05:59] Nio
    What?
[06:01] Kikuchiyo
    Still...
[06:03] Kikuchiyo
    I'm glad we both made it here safely.
[06:05] Nio
    Same.
[06:07] Kikuchiyo
    I hurt my left hand falling off my horse,
    but ultimately suffered no worse.
[06:11] Nio
    I got the stuffing beaten out of me.
[06:14] Kikuchiyo
    I hear the three men
    Naozumi slashed will live.
[06:18] Kikuchiyo
    My horse is fine as well.
[06:19] Nio
    Really? Thank goodness!
[06:22] Kikuchiyo
    And I retrieved your wooden sword.
[06:25] Nio
    Oh, thank you.
[06:32] Kikuchiyo
    How funny.
[06:33] Kikuchiyo
    Tell me more of the Miburo.
[06:35] Nio
    Okay. Remember I mentioned Kondo-san?
[06:38] Nio
    One sip of sake knocks him out cold,
    but he's untouchable at sumo wrestling.
[06:42] Nio
    He tosses everyone else
    around like rag dolls.
[06:47] Kikuchiyo
    I would love to meet these other Miburo.
[06:53] Kikuchiyo
    Quite the view, isn't it?
[06:55] Nio
    Yes. It's like another world.
[07:00] Nio
    So, um, I thought I was just hearing things,
[07:04] Nio
    but there was shouting in the night.
[07:06] Kikuchiyo
    Hm?
[07:07] Nio
    The voices reached
    all the way to the castle.
[07:11] Kikuchiyo
    Oh, so you heard that.
[07:14] Nio
    They chanted "Expel the barbarians."
    Were they shouting at you, Kikuchiyo-san?
[07:19] Kikuchiyo
    It's so wearisome.
[07:21] Kikuchiyo
    They never tire of fussing
    in front of the gates every night.
[07:25] Nio
    I guess you have it rough, too, huh?
[07:28] Nio
    Here you are, trying so hard to avoid a war.
[07:34] Kikuchiyo
    Anyone would. That's what I'm here for.
[07:38] Nio
    What do you mean?
[07:39] Kikuchiyo
    The decision to "expel the
    barbarians" has been made.
[07:43] Kikuchiyo
    The Emperor, the court, and recently,
     my guardian, Yoshinobu,
[07:49] Kikuchiyo
    have all been pressuring me
    to pick a date to enact the policy.
[07:54] Kikuchiyo
    It won't be easy to stop this momentum.
[07:57] Kikuchiyo
    No human effort can make a difference.
[08:00] Kikuchiyo
    It's as though the river of history
    is sweeping us along.
[08:04] Nio
    A river?
[08:05] Kikuchiyo
    That's what I mean by "Anyone would."
[08:09] Kikuchiyo
    A single person is next to meaningless
    before the river's flow.
[08:14] Kikuchiyo
    I need only be a marionette.
    A puppet of the times.
[08:19] Nio
    But you won't become a puppet,
    will you, Kikuchiyo-san?
[08:26] Nio
    I mean, you fought back.
[08:29] (Flashback) Kikuchiyo
    Even so, I will not allow you to make war.
[08:32] (Flashback) Kikuchiyo
    That is my verdict as
    leader of the samurai clans.
[08:36] Nio
    Even when your life was in danger,
     you made up your mind not to fight.
[08:42] Nio
    Even if you're a toy boat in the current,
    you still struggle, and you'll keep struggling.
[08:48] Nio
    You're our Shogun, Kikuchiyo-san.
[08:51] Nio
    And I'm glad of that.
[08:56] Kikuchiyo
    And who are you to judge?
[08:58] Nio
    Oh, I'm so sorry! I said more than I should!
[09:01] Nio
    I beg your pardon!
[09:04] Nio
    Wait, a river?
[09:07] Nio
    Could that have been the river of time?
[09:11] Nio
    No, that's ridiculous.
    That was just a dream.
[09:16] Kikuchiyo
    You must not have eaten.
     I'll have a meal prepared.
[09:20] Nio
    No! Don't!
[09:22] Nio
    I couldn't bear it if you
    fed me and no one else.
[09:26] Kikuchiyo
    True. Taro would make
     a nuisance of himself.
[09:29] Kikuchiyo
    Do you want anything else, then?
[09:31] Nio
    D-Do I want anything?
[09:34] Kikuchiyo
    Anything at all.
[09:38] Nio
    Can I really ask for anything?
[09:48] Kikuchiyo
    Her name is Black Daikon.
[09:50] Nio
    B-Black Daikon?
[09:51] Nio
    Th-That's an unusual name.
[09:53] Kikuchiyo
    She's black, and she likes daikon radishes.
[09:56] Kikuchiyo
    I named her.
[09:57] Vassal A
    My lord! You must not!
[09:59] Vassal B
    Leading a horse is beneath Your Lordship.
[10:01] Kikuchiyo
    Oh, be quiet.
[10:02] Kikuchiyo
    I owe Nio a great debt.
[10:04] Kikuchiyo
    Make way, or go without dinner.
[10:07] Nio
    Our Shogun's kind of pushy.
[10:12] Nio
    I-I'm scared!
[10:13] Kikuchiyo
    You mustn't tense up like that.
[10:15] Kikuchiyo
    Hang loose and let the horse take control.
[10:17] Nio
    "H-Hang loose"?
[10:18] Kikuchiyo
    Keep hold of the reins!
[10:25] Kikuchiyo
    Very good. You have a knack for this.
[10:30] Nio
    Good girl, Black Daikon.
[10:33] Kikuchiyo
    Aren't horses grand?
[10:35] Kikuchiyo
    I would have loved to show her to my wife,
    but I can hardly lead her back to Edo.
[10:40] Kikuchiyo
    I will have to find some
    other souvenir for Princess Kazu.
[10:45] Nio
    You're married, Kikuchiyo-san?
[10:48] Kikuchiyo
    Yes.
[10:49] Kikuchiyo
    And to a charming lady.
[10:51] Kikuchiyo
    But she puffs up like this
    when she's in a temper.
[10:56] Nio
    That's adorable.
[11:00] Kikuchiyo
    Nio, would you leave the Miburo
    and come serve me?
[11:05] Nio
    Huh?
[11:06] Kikuchiyo
    I wish to bring you home to Edo as well.
[11:10] Nio
    I-I mean, this is so sudden.
[11:12] Kikuchiyo
    Oh, just say yes! Say it, or I'll make
    the horse buck and throw you off!
[11:15] Nio
    Hey! Don't do that, Kikuchiyo-san!
[11:18] Kikuchiyo
    I was only joking.
[11:20] Nio
    Y-You scared me.
[11:22] Nio
    That wasn't funny.
[11:25] Kikuchiyo
    Forgive me.
[11:27] Kikuchiyo
    I really felt that way until last night.
[11:31] Kikuchiyo
    Then I recalled something
    your grandmother said.
[11:34] (Flashback) Granny
    You're a lord, so do a lord's work.
[11:37] (Flashback) Granny
    We've all got our own stations
    to stand our ground in.
[11:40] (Flashback) Granny
    That's what work's all about.
[11:43] Kikuchiyo
    We all have our own stations and duties,
    and we should each do them as best we can.
[11:49] Kikuchiyo
    So long as we share the same goal.
[11:51] Nio
    Kikuchiyo-san.
[11:54] Kikuchiyo
    Myself, in this world.
[11:56] Kikuchiyo
    And you, in the world outside.
[11:58] Kikuchiyo
    Let us strive together for an age of peace.
[12:03] Vassal A
    My Lord. The boy's companions have arrived.
[12:07] Kikuchiyo
    Our time is up.
[12:15] Kikuchiyo
    What is the way of the sword?
[12:17] Kikuchiyo
    When Naozumi posed that question,
    you couldn't answer him.
[12:22] Nio
    You're right.
[12:24] Kikuchiyo
    I don't fault you for that.
[12:27] Nio
    But how should I know something like that?
[12:31] Nio
    I'm not really even a samurai.
    I was adopted by a dango seller.
[12:36] Kikuchiyo
    You're wrong.
[12:38] Kikuchiyo
    Money can buy samurai status these days.
[12:40] Kikuchiyo
    It's no longer a question of birth.
[12:42] Nio
    Wh-What do you think it is, then?
[12:47] Kikuchiyo
    A state of mind.
[12:49] Nio
    A-A state of mind?
[12:52] Kikuchiyo
    Naozumi claimed it was a matter of blood,
    but such questions have no real answers.
[12:57] Kikuchiyo
    If you consider it a state of mind,
    a perspective, the answers are endless.
[13:02] Kikuchiyo
    Samurai, peasant, or shogun,
    man or woman, it makes no difference.
[13:12] Kikuchiyo
    What is the way of the sword to you?
[13:18] Kikuchiyo
    Tell me your answer when we meet again.
[13:24] Todo
    There he is.
[13:25] Okita
    Nio-kun!
[13:27] Hijikata
    You're late.
[13:28] Taro
    Whoa. He really came out of Nijo Castle.
[13:34] Nio
    Guys! Thanks for coming to get me!
[13:39] Nio
    Hijikata-san, are you all right?
[13:41] Hijikata
    Of course I am.
[13:42] Taro
    I bet you had a feast in there.
[13:44] Nio
    I haven't eaten a thing.
[13:46] Okita
    You've sure gone up in the world.
[13:48] Nio
    Please don't.
[13:49] Todo
    Were there pretty ladies? Well?
[13:51] Nio
    No!
[13:52] Hijikata
    Wine and women aside,
    you must have gotten something.
[13:55] Nio
    No, not a thing.
[13:56] Nio
    Oh, but he did let me ride a horse.
[14:00] Hajime
    A horse? You rode a horse?
[14:02] Nio
    Yup. It was a lot of fun.
[14:04] Hajime
    Huh. A horse. A horse, huh?
[14:07] Todo
    Horses poop a lot, don't they?
[14:09] Taro
    Yeah, they're a pain to clean up after.
[14:13] Nio
    Kikuchiyo-san!
[14:16] Nio
    Maybe it's not proper to say this...
[14:21] Nio
    But between last night and today,
    I had an amazing time!
[14:29] Kikuchiyo
    So did I!
[14:34] Kikuchiyo
    Farewell! Till we meet again!
[14:37] Nio
    Yes! That's a promise!
[14:46] Kagemaru
    My lord, your features seem to
    have changed in the course of a day.
[14:53] Kikuchiyo
    Kagemaru.
[14:55] Kikuchiyo
    For a shadow, you're an awful busybody!
[15:03] Kikuchiyo
    There's still hope for
    this land and its people.
[15:06] Kagemaru
    What makes you say that?
[15:09] Kikuchiyo
    Nothing really.
[15:12] Kikuchiyo
    Now, let us get to work.
[15:20] Nio
    I'd like to make a detour on the way.
[15:22] Nio
    I'll catch up.
[15:24] Taro
    What?
[15:26] Taro
    What's the big idea?
[15:27] Taro
    We trekked out here just to get you!
[15:30] Okita
    Where do you want to go?
[15:32] Nio
    A bunch of places.
[15:34] Nio
    I have some things I want
    and some things to check on.
[15:36] Hijikata
    Nio, going back to the compound and
    giving us all an explanation comes first.
[15:41] Nio
    No. This comes first.
[15:44] Nio
    Away I go!
[15:47] Todo
    What was that about?
[15:48] Okita
    Beats me.
[15:49] Taro
    I'm not doing anything
    if those guys jump him again.
[15:53] Nio
    I'm back!
[15:55] Nio
    Please gather round, everybody!
    I have something to tell you!
[16:04] Kondo
    Strip down, Nio. It's your turn.
[16:07] Nio
    Huh? But I've got something important to...
[16:17] Nio
    Hey, this is Serizawa-san!
[16:20] Nio
    I don't stand a chance!
[16:21] Nio
    Just say he wins by default!
[16:24] Serizawa
    Nio, I heard the whole story.
[16:26] Nio
    Huh?
[16:28] Serizawa
    You saved the Tokugawa Shogun's life, huh?
[16:32] Nio
    N-No. I mean, you could say that,
    but I basically got saved, too, so...
[16:37] Nio
    Fooled you! Now's my chance!
[16:42] Serizawa
    Nio, you rascal.
[16:46] Serizawa
    Well done!
[16:48] Todo
    An underhand throw!
[16:50] Yamanami
    Oh, my. Nio-kun lost in the first round.
[16:53] Serizawa
    I'm impressed!
[16:55] Serizawa
    Have a manju as your prize.
[16:57] Nio
    Th-Thank you, sir.
[16:59] Todo
    Where'd he pull that from?!
[17:00] Taro
    No fair! Why only Nio?
[17:02] Hajime
    Damn it. We got wiped out again?
[17:05] Kondo
    By the by, Nio...
[17:07] Kondo
    I hear you stayed at Nijo Castle,
    where Lord Iemochi dwells.
[17:10] Nio
    Yes. Kikuchiyo-san was so welcoming.
     He's an amazing person.
[17:16] Kondo
    This is the Shogun's majesty!
[17:18] Kondo
    Let me smell you. I must know his scent.
[17:21] Kondo
    Ah, the fragrance of our Shogun.
[17:26] Nagakura
    Tell me, were the fellows
    who attacked you strong?
[17:30] Harada
    A bunch of pushovers, I'll bet.
[17:33] Okita
    No, Hijikata-san took a real beating.
[17:35] Harada
    Hijikata did?
[17:36] Hijikata
    They didn't beat me.
[17:38] Nio
    But the Risshidan's goals, or maybe
    their motives, were a bit unusual.
[17:46] Miburo
    Bring back the age of the samurai?
[17:48] Nio
    Yes. That's what they said they wanted.
[17:51] Hirayama
    What the hell?
[17:52] Noguchi
    What does that even mean?
[17:54] Hirama
    Maybe they're out to start a war.
[17:56] Taro
    That's why we should have
    finished them off there and then!
[18:01] Serizawa
    What's so bad about bringing back
    the age of the samurai?
[18:04] Kondo
    Could we become samurai?
[18:06] Todo
    Uh-oh. They're getting on board with it.
[18:10] Serizawa
    You, too, Sir Kondo?
[18:13] Hijikata
    A load of bull. Who could
    stand an age like that?
[18:17] Hijikata
    If they cut loose,
    we'll do all we can to stop them.
[18:20] Hijikata
    It's as simple as that.
[18:22] Nio
    Yes, sir.
[18:26] Nio
    And so, everyone...
[18:28] Nio
    Let's make those Miburo coats.
[18:30] Nio
    There's not a moment to waste.
[18:35] Taro
    C-Coats?
[18:37] Taro
    Who cares about that crap now?
[18:39] Nio
    I do. We're gonna make them.
[18:41] Todo
    A-ha. Let me guess. You fell for a girl?
[18:45] Okita
    And you want to show off,
    right? I've been there.
[18:48] Nio
    Nothing like that.
[18:50] Todo; Okita
    No?
[18:51] Nio
    Last night, when I stayed in Nijo Castle,
    I heard people cry, "Expel the barbarians."
[18:56] Nio
    They were threatening Kikuchiyo-san...
    I mean, the Shogun.
[19:02] Nio
    And Naozumi-san and the rest
    of the Risshidan want to start a war.
[19:10] Nio
    Those two facts spell danger
    for Kyoto all on their own.
[19:15] Nio
    The townspeople are afraid.
[19:17] Nio
    I want to show them the Miburo are here.
[19:23] Nio
    We all form a single living creature.
[19:26] Nio
    We don't tolerate evil deeds.
[19:28] Nio
    Our uniforms will be a sign
    to the people of Kyoto.
[19:32] Nio
    A sign of relief. A sign of safety.
    A sign they can relax.
[19:38] Nio
    I think that's work
    we should be doing as Miburo.
[19:42] Nio
    As those who serve.
[19:49] Hijikata
    I knew I made the right call
    when I recruited him.
[19:56] Hijikata
    So what did you want in such
    a hurry for making those coats?
[20:02] Hijikata
    What did you go check on?
[20:04] Nio
    Right. This is what I wanted.
[20:09] Nio
    I went to Chirinuya and
    got Granny to design our coats.
[20:14] Todo
    Oh! Black, huh?
[20:15] Okita
    So stodgy.
[20:16] Nagakura
    What's wrong with it?
[20:18] Harada
    Black's cool.
[20:19] Nio
    She said we should put
    one character on the back.
[20:22] Nio
    Something that symbolizes the Miburo.
[20:27] Yamanami
    That's a good idea.
    Let's pool our wits to choose one.
[20:30] Nagakura
    Mhmm.

[20:35] Todo
    Making it about you?!
[20:36] Hijikata
    And what did you check on?
[20:39] Nio
    Oh, right. I went to the drapers
    to check how much it'd cost, sir.
[20:45] Nio
    Five ryo a coat.
[20:47] Nio
    Planning ahead for more recruits,
    50 coats comes to 250 ryo.
[20:55] All
    Wait, 250 ryo?!
[20:58] Nio
    Come on, everybody.
    It's time to start earning.
[21:02] Nio
    Let's get going!
[21:04] Nio
    Come on! All together now!
[21:08] Todo
    Are you nuts?! Where will we get that much?!
[21:10] Nio
    From hard work! Together!
[21:12] Taro
    He's not listening.
[21:13] Hajime
    Damn it. I guess we've got no choice.
[21:15] Miburo
    Listen to us, Nio.
[21:18] Hijikata
    I know, Kondo-san.
[21:21] Hijikata
    Nio doesn't realize how
    frightening uniformity can be.
[21:24] Hijikata
    It intimidates people
    on top of everything else.
[21:24] Taro
    There's no way! We'll never make 250 ryo!
[21:27] Todo
    Do you realize how much
    we'd each have to earn?!
[21:27] Kondo
    No, let him be.
[21:29] Todo
    Wait, how much would it be?
[21:30] Kondo
    Our actions will show the townspeople
     that we're on their side.
[21:32] Todo
    Besides...
[21:37] Hijikata
    Yeah, you're right.
[21:40] Hijikata
    Maybe that's our work as adults.

    We Miburo need to raise funds.
[23:29] Nio
    Funds to buy matching coats, so we can help
     the townsfolk to breathe more easily.
[23:35] Nio
    But it seems like everyone's
    running into trouble.
[23:40] Nio
    Making money sure is tough.
