[00:01] Nio
    So this is the Miburo's headquarters?
[00:05] Hijikata
    Yagi-san is putting us up in his compound.
[00:07] Hijikata
    You'll eat and sleep here, too.
[00:11] Okita
    Come to think of it, I heard the
     local kids talking about this place.
[00:15] Nio
    Huh? What did they say about it?
[00:20] Hijikata
    "Demons live there."
[00:23] Hijikata
    Meaning us.
[00:27] Okita
    Honestly, Hijikata-san.
    Don't scare him like that.
[00:31] Okita
    So, um, where is everyone?
[00:33] Hijikata
    I think Yagi-san's at a meeting.
[00:35] Hijikata
    Wait in the yard.
[00:38] Nio
    Granny. Iroha.
[00:42] Nio
    I think this place might be bad news.

[02:25] Nio
    What's that smell?
    I can't quite tell what it is.
[02:35] Nio
    A-Are you hurt?
[02:36] Nagakura
    Not good enough!
[02:38] Nagakura
    You'll have to do better, Sanosuke!
[02:40] Nagakura
    Parlor tricks won't work
    on Nagakura Shinpachi!
[02:44] Harada
    Wanna bet, jackass?
[02:46] Nagakura
    Hm? Who's the kid?
[02:48] Harada
    Huh?
[02:50] Harada
    Hey! Who're you?
    You can't just wander in here!
[02:54] Nio
    Oh, um, I'm...
[02:56] Hijikata
    He's a new recruit.
[02:58] Okita
    He's one of us.
[03:01] Harada; Nagakura
    A new recruit?
[03:02] Harada
    Are you screwing with us, Hijikata?
[03:05] Harada
    This ain't no game! I won't stand for it!
[03:09] Hijikata
    You're the one messing around, Sanosuke.
[03:11] Hijikata
    Go wash your face and cool your head, idiot.
[03:15] Nagakura
    Soji, I've had it with
    these pranks of yours.
[03:20] Okita
    Are you sure you want to do this?
    It doesn't pay to take me lightly, Nagakura-san.
[03:25] Harada
    You're the one getting cocky here!
[03:25] Hijikata
    Quit your yapping.
[03:27] Nio
    O-Oh no. This is turning into a brawl.
[03:31] Harada
    Fine! We'll sumo wrestle to settle it!
[03:34] Okita
    Fine by me.
[03:35] Nagakura
    Show me what you're made of!
[03:36] Todo
    Make it a best-of-three!
[03:38] Hijikata
    Now you're talking!
[03:40] Nio
    Huh? Sumo wrestle? Wh-Why that?
[03:45] Yamanami
    Sorry. You see how it is.
[03:48] Inoue
    I'll referee, then.
[03:50] Harada
    We're taking Hajime!
[03:53] Hajime
    Huh? Why me?
[03:54] Harada
    We need a kid to fight a kid.
[03:56] Hajime
    Don't treat me like a kid!
[03:57] Harada
    See what I mean? What a child.
[04:07] Nio
    Chirinu Nio accepts your challenge!
[04:09] Harada
    Now that's what I call maturity.
[04:13] Hajime
    I-I'll take you on!
[04:15] Hajime
    Loser has to run laps. Got that?
[04:17] Hijikata
    You'd better not lose, Nio!
[04:20] Nio
    Yes, sir!
[04:22] Okita
    All right. If you lose, I'll run with you.
[04:25] Crowd
    He's still in the ring!
[04:26] Crowd
    Loser doesn't get dinner!
[04:28] Crowd
    Crush 'em!
[04:29] Harada
    Whoa!
[04:30] Nagakura
    That boy's tougher than he looks!
[04:32] Hijikata
    Grab his belt, Nio!
[04:33] Todo
    Trip him, Hajime!
[04:38] Hijikata
    Who won?
[04:38] Nagakura
    Who won?
[04:42] Inoue
    A tie! It's a tie!
[04:44] Hajime
    Damn it.
[04:46] Nio
    One more round.
[04:50] Hajime
    Aw, crap.
[04:51] Nio
    Huh? What?
[04:57] Kondo
    How could you wrestle without me?
[05:02] Todo
    Whoa! Here he comes!
[05:03] Inoue
    Somebody stop him!
[05:04] Yamanami
    He'll throw us all!
[05:07] Nagakura
    I'll take you on!
[05:09] Nagakura
    Alas!
[05:11] Harada
    Hey, asshole! Don't underestimate me!
[05:16] Todo
    He even got Sano!
[05:18] Hajime
    It's hopeless.
[05:19] Nio
    H-He's too strong.
[05:24] Serizawa
    Sir Kondo!
[05:25] Serizawa
    I, Serizawa Kamo, shall be your opponent.
[05:41] Nio
    He has ten arms?!
[05:44] Serizawa
    Face the Serizawa Five!
[05:47] Okita
    They're just standing behind him!
[05:50] Serizawa
    We may have five faces,
    but our hearts beat as one!
[05:55] Serizawa
    You scared, Kondo?
[06:01] Serizawa
    All together now!
[06:19] Yamanami
    Look.
[06:20] Okita
    There he goes.
[06:21] Todo
    The kid went flying!
[06:27] Nio
    These are the Miburo?
[06:29] Nio**
    The band of ruffians all the
    townspeople are afraid of?
[06:37] Nio
    They don't scare me one bit.
[06:42] Harada
    H-Hey.

    Hurry!
[07:14] Crowd
    Get ready!
[07:16] Hijikata
    Nio.
[07:18] Hijikata
    Will you join us?
[07:20] Hijikata
    I shouldn't have to warn you,
    but it won't be pretty.
[07:26] Nio
    I know.
[07:29] Nio
    Everyone who lives in Kyoto does.
SIGN    Vindication
[07:39] Crowd A
    Another severed head?
[07:41] Crowd B
    Who is it this time?
[07:43] Crowd C
    What's the notice say?
[07:44] Crowd D
    A sinful priest, apparently.
[07:46] Nio
    Another one. It's been nonstop for a year now.
[07:51] Crowd A
    Says here he was a schemer.
[07:53] Crowd B
    Well, that's that, then.
[07:55] Crowd C
    He got his just deserts.
[07:58] Crowd D
    Must've done something awful.
[08:00] Crowd A
    What's the world coming to?
[08:04] Nio
    Hijikata-san.
[08:06] Nio
    I don't know much about these things,
[08:09] Nio
    but is it always bad people who get killed
    and good people who do the killing?
[08:14] Nio
    Do people who are trying to make the
     world better really do things like this?
[08:23] Hijikata
    Extremists have been
    frequenting a particular inn.
[08:27] Hijikata
    We raid it tonight.
[08:29] Hijikata
    See for yourself when we do.
[08:35] Nio
    He's right.
[08:37] Nio
    I need to see with my own eyes.
[08:39] Nio
    That's why I came here.
[08:51] Hijikata
    Are you really sure, Nio?
[08:53] Nio
    Y-Yes, sir. I want to know.
[08:57] Nio
    I want to find out
    what's happening in Kyoto.
[09:01] Hijikata
    All right. Stay behind us.
[09:05] Hijikata
    Let's move.
[09:08] Hijikata
    We're on patrol! No one move!
[09:15] Nio
    That's weird. What kind of inn has no lamps?
[09:29] Ronin A
    Die!
[09:39] Nio
    He killed him.
[09:40] Nio
    He actually killed him!
[09:45] Nio
    Okita-san.
[09:51] Ronin C
    Th-This wasn't the deal!
[09:53] Hijikata
    What deal?
[09:55] Ronin C
    W-We just had to off this one bad guy.
    Easy money, they said.
[09:59] Ronin C
    We were supposed to get
    our fill of wine and women.
[10:05] Okita
    It's refreshing to see
    such a shameless scumbag.
[10:08] Ronin C
    W-Wait!
[10:09] Ronin C
    I just tossed the dead guy's ear
    into the house they told me to!
[10:14] Hijikata
    I just learned something new.
[10:16] Hijikata
    So, without righteousness or conviction,
    people can end up like you, huh?
[10:36] Okita
    Ahem, Hijikata-san.
[10:39] Okita
    Think about where the blood's spattering.
[10:42] Hijikata
    Be quiet.
[10:47] Okita
    We'd better hurry home
    so you can have a bath.
[11:19] Hijikata
    Can't sleep?
[11:22] Hijikata
    Did you want them to live,
    however vile they were?
[11:25] Nio
    Huh? Oh, no.
[11:29] Nio
    Anyone who kills for money needs to pay.
[11:34] Hijikata
    So what's bothering you?
[11:36] Nio
    Nothing's bothering me, exactly.
    I was just thinking.
[11:39] Hijikata
    Oh? What about?
[11:41] Nio
    What if someone
    I'm supposed to kill is like me?
[11:45] Nio
    What if they also want to
    make the world a better place?
[11:48] Nio
    What should I do then?
[11:54] Nio
    Hijikata-san, I always thought there
    were bad people who steal and kill,
[12:00] Nio
    and good people who try to stop them,
[12:03] Nio
    and that was why Kyoto is such a mess.
[12:10] Nio
    But it's not really good versus evil, is it?
[12:15] Nio
    Good people are fighting
    each other until it rains blood.
[12:23] Hijikata
    No one's evil to start with.
[12:25] Hijikata
    At least, almost no one thinks
    that they could be the bad guy.
[12:32] Nio
    What should I do?
[12:35] Hijikata
    Huh?
[12:36] Nio
    How can I learn to act
    like you and Okita-san?
[12:42] Hijikata
    That's simple, Nio.
[12:45] Hijikata
    Have principles you'll never compromise on.
[12:49] Hijikata
    If nothing and no one can
    take them from you...
[12:56] Hijikata
    that's your idea of justice.
[12:59] Hijikata
    As long as you have that,
    you can cut down anyone you need to.
[13:06] Hijikata
    Damn, I'm sleepy. Time for some shut-eye.
[13:15] Nio
    I see. I get it now.
[13:18] Nio
    The faint smell that clings to this house...
[13:23] Nio
    is blood.
[13:24] Nio
    It smells like blood.
[13:28] Nio
    I don't know anything yet.
[13:31] Nio
    I need to see and think about many more things
    so that I can make up my own mind.
[13:38] Nio
    What is justice?
[13:40] Nio
    What's right? What can't I give up?
[13:45] Nio
    For as long as I live, I'll keep on wondering...
[13:48] Nio
    until I find what I think is right.
[13:58] Okita
    Something on your mind, Nio-kun?
[14:01] Nio
    Oh, Okita-san. Yeah, I guess.
    I was wondering what justice is.
[14:06] Okita
    Oh, justice, huh?
[14:08] Nio
    Do you know?
[14:10] Okita
    You have to figure it out for yourself.
[14:14] Nio
    R-Right.
[14:17] Okita
    It's not something someone can teach you.
[14:19] Nio
    Oh, that reminds me. I haven't paid
     my respects to the Yagi family.
[14:24] Okita
    Gennojo-san just stepped out.
    You'll run into him sooner or later.
[14:28] Nio
    You really don't stand on
    ceremony, do you, Okita-san?
[14:34] Okita
    That's my justice.
[14:36] Okita
    Good one, right?
[14:38] Hijikata
    Nio! Get over here now!
[14:40] Okita
    Oh, that reminds me.
    Hijikata-san wants to see you.
[14:44] Nio
    What?
[14:45] Nio
    O-On my way, sir!
[14:49] Hijikata
    The three of us are going on patrol.
[14:52] Nio
    Patrol, sir? You can count on me.
[14:56] Nio
    Wait, the three of us?
[15:00] Nio
    Kondo-san.
[15:02] Nio
    I-I don't think we've been
    properly introduced. I'm Nio.
[15:05] Nio
    It's a pleasure to serve with you.
[15:07] Kondo
    Indeed. Kondo Isami is my name.
[15:11] Kondo
    The pleasure's mine.
[15:12] Nio
    Th-Thank you, sir.
[15:24] Hijikata
    Give me a break. You won't last
    an hour like that. Try to relax.
[15:30] Nio
    Uh, yes, sir.
[15:32] Kondo
    I thought Kyoto would be
    full of simpering bluebloods,
[15:37] Kondo
    but I see plenty of samurai
    wearing proper sets of swords, too.
[15:41] Nio
    The lord of Aizu led a thousand troops
    to the city in the twelfth month last year.
[15:47] Nio
    It seems like there have been
    lots more samurai ever since.
[15:50] Kondo
    Oh? In that case, Kyoto is
    as fine a place as they say.
[15:53] Kondo
    I'm glad I came here, Toshi.
[15:57] Kondo
    It's good having you here, Nio.
[15:59] Kondo
    Three of you locals have joined up now.
    We can use your expertise.
[16:04] Nio
    Oh, no, I don't know anything that...
[16:07] Nio
    Wait, that reminds me.
    Who are the other two?
[16:09] Hijikata
    Look.
[16:13] Hijikata
    Follow him.
[16:14] Nio
    Yes, sir!
[16:19] Nio
    H-He's so fast. Well, he is an adult, I suppose.
[16:23] Nio
    Why's he so slow?
[16:24] Kondo
    Forget about me! Don't let him get away!
[16:27] Nio
    Y-Yes, sir.
[16:33] Nio
    He must have run down there.
[16:34] Nio
    This area is full of narrow alleys.
[16:38] Hijikata
    We'd better split up.
[16:40] Hijikata
    I'll go left.
[16:42] Hijikata
    Kondo-san, you go straight ahead.
[16:44] Hijikata
    Nio, take the right.
[16:46] Hijikata
    Shout your head off if you find him.
[16:47] Nio
    Yes, sir.
[16:51] Nio
    I don't know what that guy did,
    but cornered people can turn dangerous.
[16:59] Nio
    A kid?
[17:01] Nio
    But she's outside of our search area.
[17:12] Nio
    Are you okay?
[17:17] Nio
    Come here.
[17:22] Nio
    You don't have to say anything.
[17:27] Nio
    Here. For you.
[17:31] Nio
    You must really care about these sandals.
    Did your big sister give them to you?
[17:35] Child
    Yeah. Thanks.
[17:36] Nio
    You're welcome. Can you get home on your own?
[17:41] Crowd
    Murderer!
[17:43] Crowd
    He ran for it!
[17:53] Hijikata
    Nio!
[17:54] Killer
    Out of my way!
[18:07] Nio
    It'll be all right.
[18:10] Kondo
    Curse that man. No real samurai
    would turn and run like that.
[18:15] Kondo
    But he won't get far.
    Toshi can run like the devil.
[18:26] Hijikata
    Does no one in Kyoto know how to fight?
[18:47] Nio
    I'm sorry, sir.
[18:49] Kondo
    Huh? What for?
[18:52] Nio
    I ignored orders.
[18:54] Nio
    And then I ran away.
[18:56] Kondo
    Oh, right. You shielded that girl.
[19:00] Nio
    I saw a child crying.
    I couldn't just leave her.
[19:04] Nio
    I was so frantic to protect her.
[19:09] Nio
    I heard that both my parents were murdered.
[19:14] Kondo
    You "heard"?
[19:16] Nio
    Oh, a temple took me in when
    I was still too young to remember.
[19:21] Nio
    I think they had about ten kids like me.
[19:26] Nio
    We were taught to hold back
     our tears and smiles.
[19:30] Kondo
    Why?
[19:31] Hijikata
    Because they wouldn't get adopted otherwise.
[19:34] Nio
    Yes, sir. I think they were right about that.
[19:37] Nio
    Thanks to that advice,
    I got to live with Granny and my sister.
[19:42] Nio
    But I think, deep down, I wanted to cry.
[19:47] Nio
    I wanted someone to hold me tight
    while I cried my eyes out.
[19:55] Nio
    I left home spouting a lot of big talk
    about wanting to make the world better.
[20:02] Nio
    But in truth...
[20:05] Nio
    I just want a world
    where kids feel safe to cry.
[20:11] Nio
    And I'd like to be there
    for them when they do.
[20:15] Nio
    I want a world where that can happen.
[20:22] Nio
    I'm sorry. I didn't help at all. I'm a disgrace.
[20:29] Kondo
    Full marks.
[20:30] Nio
    Huh?
[20:32] Kondo
    You helped that girl.
    I couldn't have asked for more.
[20:35] Nio
    R-Really, sir?
[20:38] Kondo
    Yes.
[20:41] Nio
    That was the right thing to do?
[20:44] Kondo
    It was.
[20:49] Nio
    I'll never forget...

    Looks like you do know
    what justice means to you.
[20:57] Nio
    ...what Hijikata-san said to me,
    or how big Kondo-san seemed in that moment.
[21:05] Kondo
    Welcome to the Miburo.
[21:14] Nio
    But back then, I had no way of knowing...
[21:24] Tonoichi
    Y-You played me...
[21:32] Tonoichi
    Serizawa.
[21:37] Nio
    ...that the Miburo's first purge had begun.

[23:23] Nio
    I'm Chirinu Nio, and my life with
     the Miburo has only just begun.
[23:27] Nio
    I do get lonely living away
    from Granny and Iroha,
[23:31] Nio
    but everyone here is fun
     to be around, so I can handle it.
[23:34] Nio
    Something's been bothering me, though.
[23:38] Nio
    It's about another boy my age
    named Tanaka Taro-kun.
[23:43] Nio
    Next time: "Where the Soul Dwells."
[23:45] Nio
    It won't disappoint!
