[00:04] Todo     How much is that each? [00:06] Okita     I have no idea. [00:07] Nagakura     There's only one thing to do:     go into town and make money. [00:12] Harada     So which one of us do you think... [00:16] Harada     will earn the most? [00:18] Todo     Hey! Wait up! [00:21] Serizawa     It'll be me, of course. [00:25] Kondo     Money.

[02:23] Taro     We can have fun, get praised, and get paid. [02:27] Taro     What's not to like? [02:30] Nio     I don't know. Granny isn't really— [02:32] Nio     Huh? [02:32] Taro     Come on already. [02:34] Hajime     Me, too? [02:37] Granny     Don't act so spoiled. [02:38] Taro     Huh? [02:39] Nio     See? [02:40] Granny     You want money? [02:42] Granny     Well, too bad. You'll work for free. [02:44] Taro     Aw, come on! We'll work our butts off. [02:48] Taro     We just need a little pocket money. [02:50] Granny     You can work if you want,     but I'm not paying you. [02:53] Granny     Not one lousy copper mon!     That's what family's for. [02:58] Taro     How do you figure that?

[03:19] Taro     Serizawa-sensei will kill me     if I go back empty-handed. [03:22] Nio     That's why we need to look for work. [03:24] Taro     We're doomed! Doomed! [03:28] Nio     Don't worry.

[03:40] Taro     Come to think of it, I haven't had breakfast. [03:42] Nio     Taro-kun! You're gonna get left behind! [03:50] Hajime     What? If you've got     something to say, say it. [03:53] Nio     Oh, right. [03:56] Nio     What do you think about     "bringing back the age of the samurai"? [04:00] Hajime     Huh? You mean the Risshidan? [04:04] Hajime     Are they seriously trying to roll     things back to the Warring States? [04:08] Hajime     In their dreams. [04:11] Hajime     It's just not realistic. [04:13] Nio     Yeah. [04:14] Nio     And one other thing. [04:16] Nio     They asked me what the "way of the sword" is.      What do you think, Hajime-kun? [04:23] (Flashback) Hajime     How can I become a samurai like you? [04:28] (Flashback) Saito     Be strong. [04:35] Hajime     Isn't that obvious? Strength. [04:38] Nio     Strength? [04:39] Nio     I-I see. That's a very "you" answer. [04:42] Taro     Hey! I found a kashiwa mochi on the ground! [04:46] Taro     Huh? Where're you going, Hajime? [04:48] Hajime     Don't follow me, either of you. [04:51] Taro     Oh, I get it! You want mochi, too, right? [04:55] Taro     Oh, fine. I'll split mine in half. [04:58] Hajime     Nio, I'm glad I got to meet you. [05:01] Nio     What? [05:03] Nio     Hajime-kun? [05:06] Hajime     Don't follow me. [05:08] Taro     What's your problem? Don't you want any? [05:16] Hirayama     Serizawa-sensei. [05:17] Hirayama     Let's "borrow" some cash from     one of these places and go drinking. [05:21] Hirama     Good idea. Making money's a breeze. [05:24] Serizawa     You dolts. [05:26] Serizawa     How do samurai earn their keep? [05:30] Serizawa     By the sword. [05:36] Serizawa     We'll just challenge dojos     and make them pay up. [05:46] Harada     Shinpachi, how much have you got? [05:49] Nagakura     Let me see... [05:52] Nagakura     Enough to buy us both some hot soba. [05:55] Nagakura     What now? [05:58] Harada     That's what. SIGN    Pawnbroker [06:03] Pawnbroker     Come again. [06:05] Nagakura     You pawned your sword for ten ryo? [06:09] Harada     I'll buy it back when I strike it rich. [06:11] Nagakura     What will you do?     A samurai's sword is his life. [06:16] Harada     Samurai don't sweat the small stuff. [06:21] Harada     We'll knock their socks off     when we make all 250 ryo in one night! [06:27] Nagakura     You're no samurai. [06:32] Harada     Huh? [06:37] Harada     What did you say? [06:52] Nagakura     I beg your pardon. I misspoke. [06:54] Nagakura     Forgive me. [07:00] Harada     I don't mind. [07:02] Harada     You're never too proud to say sorry. [07:04] Harada     I like that about you, Shinpachi. [07:09] Nagakura     No, I'm truly sorry. [07:12] Nagakura     So what's your plan? [07:14] Nagakura     What did you stake your sword on? [07:17] Harada     Isn't it obvious? I've got funds.     Now I'll go multiply 'em. [07:21] Nagakura     Excuse me? [07:24] Dealer     The dice are cast! [07:25] Gamblers     Odd!

[07:45] Dealer's Aide B     Time to clean 'em out. [07:48] Harada     Just you watch. [07:50] Nagakura     Sanosuke, we ought to stop now. [07:53] Harada     What? [07:54] Nagakura     Forget buying back your sword.     We'll lose everything if this continues. [08:01] Nagakura     It's a shame, but needs must. [08:02] Harada     Damn. So this is how it ends. [08:05] Hound     Young men. [08:06] Hound     You shouldn't back down     once you enter the fray. [08:12] Hound     A man fights until he wins. [08:15] Hound     The battle isn't over     unless you admit defeat. [08:20] Harada     Gramps, you... [08:23] Harada     You've already lost everything you have! [08:26] Hound     No! [08:27] Hound     Victory is always within reach! [08:31] Nagakura; Harada     You crazy old geezer! [08:35] Todo     Soji, are you sure about this? [08:38] Okita     It's fine. [08:39] Okita     We need to get everyone coats,     and beggars can't be choosers. [08:44] Todo     But still... [08:45] Todo     That's precious to you, isn't it? [08:47] Todo     You brought it all the way from Edo. [08:49] Todo     Do you really want to sell it? [08:52] Okita     Heisuke. [08:53] Okita     I know it's wrong, but deep down,     a part of me may still be longing... [09:00] Okita     for the age of the samurai. [09:03] Todo     You mean...

[10:59] Hijikata     Still, my sister had it made     for me when I left Tama. [11:10] Hijikata     Damn that wretched Naozumi.

[11:57] Sword Seller     If you're just looking, go somewhere else! [12:00] Hijikata     What was that about? [12:02] Hijikata     I won't get anywhere here. They charge     for signature and reputation, not quality. [12:06] Sakura     Hey, you there. [12:12] Hijikata     Who's this? He looks shabby. [12:18] Hijikata     Keep your distance. [12:23] Hijikata     Show me your face. [12:28] Hijikata     A woman? [12:30] Sakura     You're a Miburo, right?     Hijikata-san the Miburo. [12:34] Hijikata     That's right. How did you know?

[12:55] Sakura     How? You're famous. [12:56] Sakura     Hijikata the Miburo: grouchy as a demon, [12:59] Sakura     with old indigo clothes and     a handsome face that's wasted on him. [13:02] Sakura     You scowl all the time,     which drives people off. [13:05] Sakura     You walk like a ruffian, you mutter     to yourself, and children don't like you. [13:09] Hijikata     All right. You can stop now. [13:12] Hijikata     So what's this about a sword? [13:14] Sakura     Right, the sword. [13:16] Sakura     It's my teacher's. [13:18] Sakura     The master is the best swordsmith in Japan. [13:21] Hijikata     Oh? Is he now? [13:26] Hijikata     It's a dump! [13:28] Hijikata     Do you even get any traffic     this far back from the street? [13:33] Sakura     We used to get people coming here nonstop. [13:36] Hijikata     Hah. That's hard to believe. [13:40] Sakura     It's my fault. [13:43] Hijikata     Well, whatever. [13:45] Hijikata     The best swordsmith in Japan lives here? [13:47] Sakura     The best in the world! [13:49] Hijikata     You just called him "the best in Japan"! [13:51] Master     Keep it down, Sakura! [13:53] Master     You'll spoil my concentration, dimwit!     Get inside! You're bothering the neighbors! [13:59] Sakura     Sorry, Master. [14:02] Sakura     I brought a loudmouthed customer. [14:04] Hijikata     Hey. [14:18] Master     Close the door behind you. [14:20] Hijikata     What? [14:21] Master     I'm talking to you, Sakura. [14:22] Master     You useless lump. [14:24] Sakura     Y-Yes, sir! [14:32] Hijikata     Look at all these swords. [14:34] Master     Those are leftovers that didn't sell. [14:37] Hijikata     Didn't sell? [14:39] Hijikata     Aren't you the best swordsmith in Japan? [14:41] Sakura     I... I made those swords. [14:45] Hijikata     What? [14:46] Sakura     I... I'm an apprentice. [14:53] Master     A woman using the forge     has ruined my reputation. [15:00] Master     She's a nuisance. [15:03] Master     Go home to your parents already. [15:05] Sakura     I won't leave! [15:07] Master     Her family's known for flower arranging.     Good enough for the Honganji Temple every year. [15:13] Sakura     This again? [15:15] Hijikata     Really? That's quite something. [15:17] Master     She got kicked out for being dense,     and before I knew it, she settled in here. [15:22] Sakura     I left on my own. [15:24] Hijikata     An odd duck who left a      good family to make swords, [15:28] Hijikata     and a stubborn smith who      gripes while he teaches her. [15:32] Hijikata     I can't think of a stranger pair. [15:36] Master     I haven't taught her much of anything. [15:39] Master     She's free to watch me work     and steal any know-how she can. [15:43] Master     Then she takes over the forge     when I'm not using it. [15:47] Sakura     But I know my stuff. After all, I watch the      master every hour, day and night. [15:52] Master     Idiot. What kind of craftsman     declares themself qualified? [15:56] Master     This is why I say you're still green. [15:58] Sakura     S-Sorry. [16:01] Master     You see? [16:02] Master     No wonder we get no buyers. [16:06] Master     In what world would any samurai     trust his life to a sword made by a woman? [16:12] Master     You can't blame a single one of them. [16:17] Hijikata     I see. So that's how it is. [16:22] Hijikata     Word of a female swordsmith     drove people away from this smithy. [16:28] Hijikata     But if I make a name for myself with one of     these swords, the customers will come back. [16:34] Hijikata     Is that the idea? [16:42] Hijikata     A hitatsura pattern with yubashiri markings. [16:52] Sakura     I-I'm still in training, so... [16:55] Hijikata     It sits well in the hand. [16:59] Hijikata     I'll take it. [17:00] Sakura     Huh? [17:01] Sakura     N-No, Hijikata-san, I want you     to carry one of the master's— [17:06] Hijikata     I judge by quality, not reputation. [17:10] Hijikata     I'll take this one. [17:13] Sakura     No, listen, you— [17:14] Hijikata     Sakura. [17:17] Hijikata     A sheath. [17:19] Hijikata     Make it quick. [17:20] Sakura     R-Right. [17:29] Hijikata     Good. [17:54] (Flashback) Sakura's Father     You're becoming a smith? [17:57] (Flashback) Sakura's Father     Get out! Never darken our door again! [18:03] (Flashback) Master     Don't mock me, woman! Go home! [18:07] (Flashback) Sakura     I'm not leaving! [18:09] (Flashback) Sakura     I've got nowhere else to go!

[18:29] (Flashback) Master     Sooner or later, they'll realize     craft is all about results. [18:33] (Flashback) Master     Everyone will. [19:28] Hijikata     What are you crying for?! [19:30] Master     What'd I tell you? Keep at it,     and they'll come around eventually. [19:36] Sakura     Master. [19:40] Master     Hijikata-san, was it?     I don't need your money. [19:44] Master     Instead, I've got a request. [19:48] Master     From now on, take your     business to her, not me. [19:52] Master     She knows her craft, if nothing else. [19:56] Master     You bow, too! [19:58] Sakura     R-Right! [20:01] Hijikata     All right. [20:06] Hijikata     I'll be back. [20:07] Sakura     Y-You mean it? [20:09] Sakura     You'll get a bad name, too,     if you carry swords made by a woman. [20:14] Hijikata     A bad name? [20:17] Hijikata     I'm used to it.
