    I had a feeling you'd come here.
[00:27] Yotaro
    Whenever you're ready.

[02:12] Sakura
    H-Huh?
[02:14] Sakura
    A d-duel?
[02:16] Sakura
    Th-That's weird. I thought we came here
    to check up on a lady who's expecting.
[02:24] Sakura
    So, uh, anyway, would you mind
    cooling it with the blood and violence?
[02:33] Sakura
    I'll be quiet now.
[02:38] Nio
    If I may.
[02:39] Kondo
    Nio.
[02:40] Nio
    Please be quiet for a moment.
[02:44] Yotaro
    Nio-kun.
[02:47] Nio
    Yotaro-san, why are you doing this?
[02:51] Nio
    Nagi-san's with child.
    Shouldn't you be at her side?
[02:56] Yotaro
    Nagi...
[02:58] Yotaro
    isn't here.
[03:01] Nio
    What?
[03:02] Yotaro
    She's not even in the city.
[03:05] Yotaro
    I sent her to stay
    with relatives last night.
[03:09] Yotaro
    She'll be safe there.
[03:12] Nio
    Yotaro-san, I don't think you understand
    the seriousness of what's happening,
[03:17] Nio
    and what might happen in this city.
[03:20] Nio
    That's a Risshidan coat, isn't it?
[03:23] Nio
    Naozumi-san, a man who's been
    in and out of this dojo, is—
[03:26] Yotaro
    Naozumi is my older brother.
[03:30] Nio
    H-He's your brother?
[03:34] Yotaro
    Yes.
[03:36] Nio
    Th-Then, all the more reason! Let's talk
    to him together and get him to stop this!
[03:41] Nio
    I'll fill you in on what they're trying to do.
[03:44] Yotaro
    Don't bother. I know all of it.
[03:47] Yotaro
    My brother told me.
[03:54] Yotaro
    They'll set fire to Kyoto
    and spark a new age of war.
[03:59] Yotaro
    I know. What an outrageous idea.
[04:03] Yotaro
    But...
[04:06] Yotaro
    I joined them fully aware of the facts.
[04:08] Nio
    Th-They're going to burn down the city!
     Are you okay with that?
[04:13] Yotaro
    Everyone has something
     they want to protect.
[04:16] Yotaro
    It comes down to what
    each of us values more.
[04:20] Yotaro
    Nagi knows as well, of course.
[04:24] Nio
    I-I get it. Naozumi-san's
    threatening you, isn't he?
[04:29] Nio
    And you can't go against your older brother.
[04:32] Nio
    He'll hurt you if you don't cooperate.
[04:34] Nio
    Maybe not just you, but your family, too.
[04:38] Nio
    So you couldn't refuse him, right?
[04:50] Yotaro
    I'm glad.
[04:52] Yotaro
    I'd prefer not to have to kill a child.
[04:57] Nio
    Y-Yotaro-san.
[05:00] Nio
    Couldn't you have turned back
     somewhere along the way?
[05:03] Yotaro
    No, I don't think I could have.
[05:06] Yotaro
    Protecting this dojo means the world to me.
[05:10] Kondo
    Nio. There's no getting around it now.
[05:15] Kondo
    We must stop him by force.
[05:18] Yotaro
    You always speak sense.
[05:22] Nio
    Kondo-san.
[05:26] Nio
    Please don't kill him.
[05:29] Nio
    I beg you.
[05:33] Nio
    Kondo-san can handle things here.
[05:35] Nio
    Let's go, Sakura-san.
[05:36] Sakura
    Huh?
[05:38] Sakura
    H-Hang on.
[05:42] Sakura
    Where are we going?
[05:45] Nio
    I can't stop Yotaro-san.
[05:50] Nio
    So...
[05:52] Nio
    I'll focus on what I can do.
[05:57] Nio
    We'll find and talk to Nagi-san.
[05:59] Sakura
    What? Weren't you listening back there?
[06:02] Sakura
    He said Nagi-san's no longer in the city.
[06:05] Nio
    I think she is.
[06:06] Sakura
    Huh?
[06:08] Nio
    Nagi-san was incredibly
    grateful to this family.
[06:11] Nio
    I know she'd come back.
[06:13] Nio
    Even if she had to come alone.
[06:16] (Flashback) Nio
    Um, aren't you scared to give birth?
[06:20] (Flashback) Nio
    It seems like it must hurt.
[06:22] (Flashback) Nagi
    Of course I'm scared.
[06:24] (Flashback) Nagi
    But I'm in no rush.
[06:26] (Flashback) Nio
    No rush?
[06:27] (Flashback) Nagi
    Well, tomorrow's me
    will figure something out.
[06:33] Nio
    Nagi-san's too strong a person not to.
[06:40] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[06:41] Sakura
    Excuse us.
[06:44] Nio
    Nagi-san! It's me, Nio!
[06:47] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[06:49] Sakura
    Good evening! Are you home?
[06:54] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[06:57] Sakura
    N-Nio-kun.
[07:06] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[07:09] Nio
    Nagi-san, are you hurt?
[07:11] Nagi
    Please have a seat.
[07:15] Nagi
    Have a seat.
[07:17] Nio
    R-Right.
[07:24] Sakura
    My name is Sakura.
[07:27] Nagi
    I'm Nagi.
[07:29] Nio
    Th-There's no one else home?
[07:31] Nagi
    Correct. I came back without telling anyone.
[07:35] Nio
    W-Would you, um, please hear me out?
[07:39] Nio
    Keep calm. Try not to be shocked.
[07:42] Nio
    It's about what's happening.
    Or rather, what's about to happen.
[07:47] Nio
    About what you and Yotaro-san
    are about to get caught up in.
[07:51] Nio
    It could spell disaster for Kyoto!
[07:55] Nio
    I really mean it—
[07:56] Nagi
    I know.
[08:00] Nagi
    I know everything.
[08:07] (Flashback) Yotaro
    I've passed the point of no return.
[08:09] (Flashback) Yotaro
    The authorities will investigate
    this dojo sooner or later.
[08:14] (Flashback) Yotaro
    We'll stage our uprising first.
[08:18] (Flashback) Yotaro
    In three days' time,
    on the night of the new moon.
[08:22] (Flashback) Yotaro
    It's all right. You don't need to worry.
[08:26] (Flashback) Yotaro
    Someone from the cadet branch
    will come for you tomorrow.
[08:30] (Flashback) Yotaro
    I want you and the child
    you're carrying to leave the city.
[08:35] (Flashback) Nagi
    Yotaro-san...
[08:40] (Flashback) Yotaro
    Nagi-san.
[08:42] (Flashback) Yotaro
    I'm sorry.
SIGN    Risshi
[08:45] (Flashback) Yotaro
    I have no other choice. If I don't do this,
    I'll never be able to face my brother.
[08:52] (Flashback) Yotaro
    Nagi-san.
[08:56] (Flashback) Yotaro
    Take care of the child.
[09:12] Nagi
    Yotaro-san told me everything.
[09:16] Nagi
    About his brother Naozumi's plan,
[09:19] Nagi
    and that it was happening today.
[09:23] Nagi
    Naozumi-san and his friends won't stop.
[09:27] Nagi
    Yotaro-san has made his peace with that.
[09:30] Nagi
    So...
[09:32] Nagi
    I've made up my mind to fight, too.
[09:35] Nio
    You, too, Nagi-san?
[09:40] Nagi
    Yotaro-san doesn't know I've come back.
[09:44] Nagi
    I made that decision myself.
[09:48] Nagi
    Still, I won't leave this house.
[09:51] Nagi
    That's my resolution and my battle.
SIGN    Kyohachi School
[09:56] Nagi
    Of course, I'll be punished
    if the uprising fails.
[10:01] Nagi
    The Shogunate may even
    abolish our family line.
[10:05] Nagi
    I may pay with my life.
[10:09] Nio
    I don't understand.
[10:10] Nio
    I don't understand
    what you're saying at all.
[10:13] Nio
    Why do this?
[10:15] Nio
    Does it mean more than your life?
[10:20] Nagi
    You wouldn't understand those feelings,
    nor the weight of them.
[10:25] Nagi
    I don't expect you to.
    No one can take someone else's place.
[10:31] Nio
    B-But innocent people will get hurt.
[10:34] Nagi
    That's a fire on the far bank.
[10:37] Nio
    A fire on... What?
[10:40] Nagi
    Even if a fire breaks out,
    it won't reach me across the river.
[10:45] Nio
    Do you really mean that?
[10:46] Nagi
    Of course I do.
[10:49] Nagi
    Everyone should start by
    protecting what's close to them.
[10:53] Nagi
    Nothing too far away is worth the effort.
[10:57] Nagi
    Some people just draw
    bigger circles than others.
[11:01] Nagi
    I know it.
[11:03] Nagi
    Even if you won't admit it,
    or don't realize it, it's true.
[11:07] Nagi
    My circle is small, I suppose.
[11:10] Nio
    You'll protect what's close to you?
    So everyone outside is the enemy?
[11:13] Nagi
    That's right.
[11:15] Nagi
    I can't defend more than
    this mat I'm sitting on.
[11:21] Nagi
    Just this child, Yotaro-san,
[11:23] Nagi
    and our home.
[11:25] Nagi
    What I see as my side...
[11:29] Nagi
    is the other side to you.
[11:31] Nio
    B-But...
[11:33] Nagi
    Nio-kun, do you want to shoulder every tragedy
     from now until the end of the world?
[11:39] Nio
    N-No, I don't.
[11:42] Nio
    But the least I can do is try.
[11:45] Nagi
    Are you a god? The Buddha, maybe?
[11:49] Nagi
    You're just being conceited.
[11:54] Nagi
    That day we took the boat together...
[11:57] (Flashback) Nagi
    Look.
[11:59] (Flashback) Nio
    A crescent moon?
[12:01] (Flashback) Nagi
    Gorgeous, isn't it?
[12:04] (Flashback) Nagi
    Isn't it funny how everything
    beautiful is missing something?
[12:09] Nagi
    Remember how I said a crescent moon is
    beautiful because it's missing something?
[12:14] Nagi
    People are the same.
[12:16] Nagi
    We're all weak. We all lack something.
[12:19] Nagi
    You may be kind, honest,
    righteous, and strong,
[12:24] Nagi
    but you think a little too highly of yourself.
[12:28] Nagi
    You can't save anyone like that.
[12:36] Sakura
    Why?
[12:38] Sakura
    What's the point of hurting
    a kid like him? I don't get it.
[12:43] Nio
    You don't care what happens to anyone else?
[12:46] Nio
    Because there are people like that...
[12:48] Nio
    Because there are people like that...
[12:51] Nagi
    Nio-kun, you are not
    sitting opposite a saint.
[12:57] Nagi
    Just one feeble human.
[13:02] Nio
    No. I can't do it.
[13:06] Nio
    I can't convince someone like her.
SIGN    Martial
[13:14] Nio
    It's not fair.
[13:17] Nio
    You're just too strong, Nagi-san!
[13:25] Nagi
    Thank you. Even if it's sarcasm,
    no one's ever said that to me before.
[13:38] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[13:40] Nio
    Are you all right?
[13:41] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[13:43] Nio
    Nagi-san! Nagi-san!
[13:48] Sakura
    No way! Is she in labor?
[13:50] Sakura
    The baby could be on its way!
[13:52] Nio
    What?
[13:58] Nio
    Nagi-san!
[13:59] Nio
    Hang in there, Nagi-san!
[14:04] Sakura
    She's been in pain for a while.
    Probably the whole time we were here.
[14:08] Nio
    Wh-What should we do?
[14:10] Sakura
    Huh? Don't ask me.
[14:12] Sakura
    What should we do?
    There's no one else around.
[14:14] Sakura
    For now, go boil some water!
[14:16] Nio
    R-Right! Hot water, coming up!
[14:18] Sakura
    And get some clean cloths.
    As many as you can find.
[14:21] Nio
    Right.
[14:22] Sakura
    Hurry!
[14:23] Nio
    Right!
[14:25] Nio
    She was in pain all this time,
    and enduring it.
[14:28] Nio
    But when I came, she still made
    the effort to talk with me.
[14:34] Nio
    How could I have missed
    something like that?
[14:42] Nio
    I-Is someone there?
[14:46] Nio
    It's an emergency!
[14:47] Nio
    Nagi-san's about to give birth, so, um...
[15:04] Serizawa
    What's wrong? That can't be all you're made of.
[15:07] Naozumi
    Enough tricks.
[15:09] Student A
    How can a guy that big move so fast?
[15:15] Serizawa
    Say, I don't see any fire.
[15:18] Serizawa
    Looks like you failed, huh?
[15:22] Naozumi
    This city that's gone soft isn't
    the only thing I want to burn away.
[15:29] Serizawa
    What?
[15:31] Naozumi
    I want that cursed house gone, too.
[15:46] Nio
    What are you doing there?
[15:50] Nio
    Wait, the Risshidan? But why here?
[15:54] Underling B
    Oh, it's just some kid.
[15:57] Nio
    S-Someone—
[15:58] Underling B
    Don't make a fuss.
[16:00] Underling B
    No one'll come, anyway.
[16:02] Nio
    You're setting fire to this house?
[16:05] Nio
    But why? Why?
[16:07] Underling B
    No idea, but I've got my orders.
[16:10] Underling B
    Don't interfere.
[16:16] Nio
    What should I do here?
    If he starts that fire, it's all over.
[16:21] Nio
    I must stop him.
[16:25] Nio
    Please wait a moment.
[16:27] Nio
    The lady of this house
    is about to give birth.
[16:34] Nio
    I don't want to think what will happen
    if you set this place on fire now.
[16:38] Underling B
    Not my problem.
[16:40] Nio
    It's no use. I can't reason with him.
[16:45] Nio
    I've got to fight.
[16:47] Nio
    Steel? Or wood?
[16:54] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Take it.
[16:55] (Flashback) Nio
    Yes, sir.
[16:58] (Flashback) Nio
    I-It's certainly heavy.
[17:00] (Flashback) Hijikata
    We all carry something
    that makes the weight worth it.
[17:06] (Flashback) Hijikata
    You shoulder something important, too.
[17:09] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Don't forget that.
[17:10] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Never stop feeling that weight.
[17:16] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Nio, what is your burden?
[17:19] (Flashback) Nio
    I want to make a world where
    townspeople feel safe to go out at night.
[17:23] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Good.
[17:24] (Flashback) Nio
    I want to make a world
    where kids feel safe to cry.
[17:27] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Good.
[17:29] (Flashback) Nio
    I want to make a world
    where the weak aren't abused.
[17:33] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Good.
[17:35] (Flashback) Nio
    I really do need to stop those people!
[17:38] (Flashback) Nio
    Killing people to change
    the world has to be wrong.
[17:43] (Flashback) Nio
    Thank you for this sword, sir.
[17:45] (Flashback) Nio
    I promise I'll use it with care.
[17:47] (Flashback) Hijikata
    You're taking both? They'll get in the way.
[17:51] (Flashback) Nio
    I'll use this one.
[17:52] (Flashback) Nio
    This is my soul! I won't use it!
[17:58] Nio
    I know what I said back then, but...
[18:01] Nio
    Forgive me, Hijikata-san.
[18:04] Nio
    I'm going to draw!
[18:12] Nio
    If I lose here, everyone's
    hard work will be for nothing.
[18:17] Nio
    No matter what, I must stop him.
[18:19] Nio
    P-Please leave!
[18:22] Nio
    I really will kill you if you don't!
[18:25] Underling B
    Stay out of my way.
[18:29] Nio
    I've never swung a real sword before, but...
[18:37] Nio
    Here goes.
[18:46] Nio
    D-Damn.
[18:52] Underling B
    Mind you own business, brat.
[18:54] Nio
    I-I've got to put it out quick.
[19:03] Nio
    I-It's burning. The house
    is going to burn down.
[19:08] Sakura
    Nio-kun!
[19:10] Sakura
    What are you doing? Get away from there!
[19:12] Sakura
    Your hair's on fire!
[19:13] Nio
    What should I do?
[19:15] Nio
    I'm sorry. I don't know what to do.
[19:17] Nio
    I couldn't stop it!
[19:19] Nio
    Oh, no! Nagi-san!
[19:21] Nio
    The house...
[19:23] Nio
    The ceiling, too...
[19:25] Sakura
    Get it together, Nio-kun!
[19:27] Sakura
    This is no time for whining.
[19:30] Nio
    Sakura-san...
[19:32] Sakura
    We've got to do what we can.
[19:34] Nio
    What we can...
[19:38] Nio
    Of course! Y-Yes, you're right!
[19:42] Sakura
    It's too dangerous here.
    We've got to move Nagi-san.
[19:46] Sakura
    Know anyone we can count on?
[19:48] Nio
    There's my granny.
    She knows how to deliver babies.
[19:52] Sakura
    How far does she live from here?
[19:54] Nio
    Just over the bridge.
[19:56] Sakura
    Great. Nio-kun, wheel that wagon
    outside into the courtyard.
[20:00] Nio
    Right. We should go out the back
    before the fire spreads.
[20:03] Sakura
    Okay. Let's hurry.
[20:07] Nio
    Lives are on the line. I need to help!
[20:10] Nio
    That's what I came here for.
[20:24] Yotaro
    What's wrong, Kondo-san?
     The fight's already started.
[20:28] Yotaro
    You're acting so cautious.
    Nothing like the other day.
[20:32] Kondo
    Just to be clear,
    are you truly content with this?
[20:35] Kondo
    We fight with steel.
[20:38] Kondo
    I could die, of course, but so could you.
[20:43] Yotaro
    Why ask now?
[20:45] Kondo
    You have a wife, and a baby on the way.
[20:49] Yotaro
    No worries there.
[20:51] Yotaro
    I've already divorced her.
[20:54] Kondo
    You parted ways?
[20:56] Yotaro
    Neither I nor my dojo will
    get out of this unscathed,
[21:01] Yotaro
    but my family problems
    won't affect Nagi or her child now.
[21:07] Yotaro
    And I'm to blame for the Risshidan
    forming in the first place.
[21:14] Yotaro
    This is my atonement as a brother and
     my duty as head of the Kyohachi family.
[21:20] Yotaro
    As such, my resolve is set.
[21:26] Yotaro
    Is yours?
[21:36] Kondo
    In any case, we can fight without regrets.
[21:42] Yotaro
    You see how it is.
