    The Miburo rise early.
[00:07] Nio
    Our mornings start at the sixth hour,
    with the rising of the sun.
[00:11] Nio
    It's already my fourth day here.

[00:51] Nio
    These guys... can't be human.
[00:52] Miburo
    298! 299!
[00:57] Miburo
    300!
[01:03] Nagakura
    Are you all right, boy?
[01:05] Nagakura
    Better take a breather.
[01:07] Nio
    No, I'm fine.
[01:10] Nio
    I can keep going.
[01:12] Nagakura
    Smile all you want,
    but you're white as a sheet.
[01:16] Nio
    I'm just having trouble raising my arms.
[01:20] Harada
    What a wimp.
[01:26] Okita
    Nice.
[01:27] Okita
    You're getting better.
[01:30] Hijikata
    Shove it!
[01:32] Nio
    W-Wow.
[01:34] Nio
    They just did all those practice swings,
    and they're already sparring.
[01:39] Nio
    I know I can't match them,
    but I have to at least try.
[01:43] Nio
    Who can I pair with?
[01:47] Nio
    H-Hajime-kun, would you
    mind sparring with me?
[01:51] Kondo
    Hold on, Nio. Hajime is—
[01:54] Hajime
    Old man.
[01:56] Hajime
    Bamboo swords. Protectors.
[01:57] Nio
    Huh?
[02:02] Nio
    Whoa! I look so cool!
[02:06] Kondo
    Okay. Best of three wins.
[02:10] Kondo
    Begin!
[02:15] Nio
    I can't see an opening.
[02:23] Nio
    But I won't get anywhere if I don't try.
[02:30] Nio
    Huh?

    I...
[04:08] Nio
    Ow!
[04:09] Hijikata
    He landed a clean hit to your head.
[04:11] Nio
    Hijikata-san.
[04:15] Nio
    Oh, I see. He beat me.
[04:20] Hijikata
    Saito Hajime is the second wolf
     who joined us in Kyoto.
[04:26] Hijikata
    Kondo-san picked him up somewhere.
[04:29] Hijikata
    You can't beat him.
[04:32] Hijikata
    You don't need to try to catch up to him.
[04:36] Hijikata
    Nio, I didn't choose you
    for your skill with a sword.
[04:40] Nio
    I know. But that's why
     I need to work up a sweat.
[04:45] Hijikata
    Huh?
[04:46] Nio
    I've got to sweat up a storm!
[04:49] Hijikata
    Well, I don't really get it,
    but you want to keep training, right?
[04:54] Hijikata
    If you want to learn swordsmanship here,
[04:56] Hijikata
    speak to him.
[04:58] Kondo
    Start here.
[04:59] Kondo
    End here.
[05:00] Nio
    Whoa. Th-That was so fast.
    It even sounded different.
[05:05] Kondo
    In my youth, I did this a
     thousand times every day.
[05:09] Nio
    P-Please watch me try, sir.
[05:11] Kondo
    Very well.
[05:12] Nio
    One! Two! Three! Four!
[05:13] Kondo
    He's earnest. Motivated, too.
[05:17] Nio
    10! 11! 12! 13!
[05:17] Kondo
    But...
[05:22] Kondo
    He has no talent.
[05:23] Nio
    14! 15! 16!
[05:25] Kondo
    Not like that.
[05:27] Kondo
    Listen, the trick is...
[05:28] Nio
    17!
[05:30] Nio
    18! 19!
[05:33] Nio
    20! 21!
[05:37] Nio
    22! 23!
[05:41] Nio
    24! 25! 26!
[05:41] Nio
    I'm hopeless.
[05:43] Nio
    So, as a newcomer,
    I'll let my actions speak for me.
[05:46] Nio
    27! 28!
[05:49] Nio
    If I want to stay, I'll have to show it.
[05:50] Nio
    29!
[05:53] Nio
    30! 31!
[05:57] Nio
    If I can't measure up,
    I'll at least work up a sweat.
[05:57] Nio
    32! 33!
[06:00] Nio
    I'll keep plugging away
    at the things anyone can do.
[06:01] Nio
    34! 35!
[06:05] Nio
    36! 37!
[06:16] Harada
    Hold up. Is he still going at it?
[06:19] Todo
    He's hopeless. A real slow learner.
[06:23] Inoue
    Well, he is a kid.
[06:25] Harada
    And he hasn't got the knack.
[06:28] Yamanami
    Can you blame him? He only just started.
[06:36] Hijikata
    Out with it.
[06:37] Okita
    What's the matter, Nagakura-san?
[06:40] Nagakura
    Where's the harm?
[06:47] Nio
    895!
[06:49] Nio
    896! 897! 898!
[06:57] Kondo
    That's the spirit! Keep it up! Almost there!
[06:57] Nio
    899! 900! 901!
[07:02] Nagakura
    We are all swordsmen
    who fell behind the times.
[07:06] Nio
    902! 903!
[07:09] Nagakura
    Who belongs in the Miburo
    more than a bungler?
[07:15] Todo
    True.
[07:17] Harada
    Well said.
[07:18] Okita
    Right?
[07:23] Hajime
    I won't accept him.
[07:26] Miburo
    Yeah!
[07:27] Miburo
    Hang in there, Nio!
[07:29] Miburo
    One more swing!
[07:32] Hajime
    Damn it!
[07:36] Kondo
    Nio, did I misjudge you?
[07:41] Kondo
    Are you a fast learner?
[07:44] Kondo
    Or did you always have it
    in you, lying dormant?
[07:47] Harada; Todo
    He's still in the ring!
[07:49] Kondo
    This talent for sumo!
[07:53] Miburo
    It's a tie!
[07:54] Miburo
    Again?
[07:56] Miburo
    In sumo, they're equals!
[08:05] Hajime
    The hell are you looking at?
[08:07] Nio
    You're left-handed, huh, Hajime-kun?
[08:11] Hajime
    Don't talk to me!
[08:13] Harada
    Oh, a fight? Have at it!
[08:14] Hajime
    Don't get a big head
    just 'cause we tied at sumo!
[08:15] Nagakura
    What good friends.
[08:17] Nio
    Let go!
[08:24] Serizawa
    Rejoice. I bring good news.
[08:27] Serizawa
    Our petition has been heard.
[08:29] Serizawa
    I'm off to meet with officials from Aizu.
[08:33] Serizawa
    Our money troubles are over,
[08:36] Serizawa
    and the rest will sort itself out.
[08:38] Nio
    What? That's amazing. You mean
    they're actually going to pay us?
[08:43] Serizawa
    Yes. They even provided formalwear.
[08:47] Serizawa
    Sir Kondo, Sir Hijikata, join us.
[08:51] All (except Serizawa; Hijikata; Kondo)
    Something's fishy.
[08:59] All (except Serizawa; Hijikata; Kondo)
    He's actually going?
[09:01] Hijikata
    Count me out. I'm not interested.
[09:06] Hijikata
    Do what you like.
[09:10] Hijikata
    Nio. Hajime. We're going on patrol.
[09:13] Nio
    Yes, sir. Right behind you.
[09:19] Nio
    Oh, sorry. I forgot my wooden sword.
[09:22] Nio
    I'll go grab it.
[09:30] Hajime
    Hijikata, why'd you
    recruit a guy like him?
[09:34] Hajime
    Miburo are supposed to be tough.
[09:37] Hajime
    We don't need wimps.
[09:41] Hijikata
    He's a match for you in sumo.
[09:43] Hajime
    Sumo's got nothing to do with this!
[09:46] Nio
    Found it!
[09:48] Hijikata
    Hajime, spend some time with him
    and you'll understand.
[09:55] Hajime
    I sure hope so.
[09:56] Nio
    Huh?
[10:06] Nio
    Um...
[10:08] Nio
    Are you sure you shouldn't
    have gone, Hijikata-san?
[10:11] Nio
    It was your big chance
    to meet officials from Aizu.
[10:14] Hijikata
    I'm sure. We came here to
    keep Kyoto safe, and that's all.
[10:20] Hijikata
    Who we serve doesn't change that.
[10:23] Nio
    But this all costs money, doesn't it?
[10:28] Nio
    And hosting us must
    put a strain on the Yagi family.
[10:32] Hijikata
    Nio.
[10:33] Nio
    Yes, sir?
[10:35] Hijikata
    We guard this city with our lives.
[10:38] Nio
    Yes, sir.
[10:40] Hijikata
    I'd say we've earned three
    square meals and a place to sleep.
[10:44] Nio
    He's so cool!
[10:52] Nio
    Hajime-kun's swords look awfully old.
[10:59] Nio
    Are they antiques?
[11:05] Hajime
    Don't stand on my left.
[11:07] Nio
    Huh?
[11:09] Hajime
    Every samurai knows that.
[11:11] Nio
    Oh, right. I-I understand.
[11:18] Hijikata
    I have some business to take care of.
     Wait here for a bit.
[11:22] Nio
    Yes, sir.
[11:26] Nio
    355, 356, 357.
[11:32] Hajime
    Your median line is off-center.
[11:34] Nio
    M-My what line? Uh, what do you mean?
[11:41] Nio
    I, um, heard Kondo-san
    recruited you in Kyoto.
[11:47] Nio
    How do you know him?
[11:51] Nio
    No answer? I see how it is.
[11:55] Hajime
    Listen, you're technically
    my ally, so I'll warn you.
[12:00] Hajime
    I practice iai.
[12:02] Nio
    Iai!
[12:03] Nio
    Wh-What's "iai"?
[12:08] Nio
    I don't know anything about swordsmanship.
[12:11] Hajime
    Stand back.
[12:25] Hajime
    That's iai.
[12:27] Hajime
    Once I get in range, I kill.
[12:29] Nio
    W-Wow.
[12:32] Hajime
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[12:35] Hajime
    I'm saying, stay out of my range
     if you want to live.
[12:38] Nio
    That was awesome!
[12:39] Hajime
    Huh?
[12:41] Nio
    Maybe I'll try it once I finish
    my thousand practice swings.
[12:44] Nio
    Like this!
[12:46] Nio
    Or maybe this?
[12:46] Hajime
    Quit it. You'll hurt someone.
[12:50] Townspeople
    What is it?
[12:51] Townspeople
    Another attack?
[12:52] Townspeople
    Nowhere's safe lately.
[12:55] Nio
    Let's go see.
[12:55] Hajime
    H-Hey!
[12:57] Nio
    Excuse me. Coming through.
[13:01] Misaki
    It hurts! It hurts!
[13:11] Hajime
    Who's this guy?
[13:15] Townspeople
    That's enough.
[13:16] Townspeople
    Stop!
[13:17] Townspeople
    What're you doing?
[13:22] Misaki
    Stop! Stop it!
[13:25] Nio
    A child hostage? How could he?!
[13:26] Misaki
    It hurts!
[13:29] Funazo
    It's war, war, war.
[13:32] Misaki
    Stop it!
[13:33] Hajime
    We'd better not risk provoking him.
[13:36] Nio
    Let that girl go!
[13:40] Hajime
    This guy!
[13:43] Funazo
    Huh?
[13:47] Townsman A
    You kids stay back. It's not safe.
[13:50] Townsman A
    Funazo! Calm down!
[13:52] Nio
    "Funazo"? He knows him?
[13:55] Townsman A
    Violence won't bring Ofune-san back to life!
[13:58] Townswoman B
    That's right.
[13:59] Townswoman B
    Do you think she'd be happy
    seeing you like this—
[14:03] Misaki
    Stop! Stop it, Dad! I'm scared!
[14:07] Funazo
    Ah, Misaki.
[14:11] Nio
    He's her father?
[14:14] Funazo
    Misaki!
[14:16] Funazo
    I'll avenge your mom! Avenge her!
[14:20] Townsman A
    Avenge her? Ofune-san died of an illness.
[14:24] Funazo
    Excuse me?
[14:26] Funazo
    It's the times that did this to us!
[14:31] Funazo
    You all know what I mean!
[14:34] Funazo
    Ten years ago, the Black Ships came
    and the Shogun opened the port.
[14:38] Funazo
    But the unequal treaty he signed
    just bleeds our money away overseas!
[14:45] Funazo
    And who pays the cost?
[14:48] Funazo
    We do!
[14:50] Funazo
    Rice prices rise,
    and we can't afford medicine!
[14:54] Funazo
    Who's to blame?
[14:56] Funazo
    The bungling shogunate?
    The impotent emperor? Foreign invaders?
[15:02] Funazo
    Hey, you there. Brat!
[15:05] Funazo
    Do you know how things got this way?
[15:08] Funazo
    Do you know our enemy's name?!
[15:12] Nio
    Our enemy's... name?
[15:15] Funazo
    Answer me!
[15:17] Hajime
    Shut up.
[15:21] Hajime
    It doesn't matter who's to blame.
[15:24] Hajime
    Stop whining already.
    You're only making yourself more pathetic.
[15:28] Funazo
    Shut up! What would you know?!
[15:31] Misaki
    It hurts!
[15:33] Funazo
    I've got to cut them down.
[15:35] Townsman A
    Funazo—
[15:36] Funazo
    Get away!
[15:39] Nio
    We need to go after him!
    That girl's in danger!
[15:42] Funazo
    Don't follow me!
[15:46] Hajime
    Damn it!
[15:47] Nio
    Down there! An opening!
[15:52] Hajime
    He can't have gone far. Get looking.
[15:56] Nio
    Hajime-kun, I need a favor!
[15:58] Hajime
    Huh? Save it for later!
[16:01] Nio
    Could you please settle this
    without killing him?
[16:04] Hajime
    What? Are you crazy?
[16:06] Hajime
    That guy's better off dead!
[16:08] Hajime
    A wimp who blames anyone but himself
     will never learn his lesson!
[16:12] Nio
    But he hasn't hurt or killed anyone yet.
[16:16] Nio
    He can turn himself around.
[16:19] Hajime
    Once he kills, it'll be too late.
[16:22] Nio
    I know that...
[16:24] Nio
    but he's still that girl's father.
[16:27] Nio
    I don't know what having a father is like,
[16:31] Nio
    but I'm sure it's better than not having one.
[16:35] Hajime
    Fine. I'll do what I can.
[16:38] Hajime
    Happy now?
[16:40] Nio
    Yes. Thank you.
[16:42] Hajime
    I'll finish this in one strike.
    You save the kid.
[16:45] Nio
    Okay. Leave it to me.
[16:49] Misaki
    It hurts! It hurts!
[16:52] Nio
    There.
[16:53] Hajime
    What's the plan?
[16:56] Funazo
    First stop, the palace.
    I'll go to the palace and...
[17:00] Nio
    We run straight at him.
[17:01] Hajime
    Got it.
[17:05] Hajime
    He's spotted us.
[17:06] Nio
    Go!
[17:07] Funazo
    Y-You!
[17:09] Hajime
    Hey, this looks bad.
[17:11] Nio
    Hajime-kun, can you do your iai while running?
[17:13] Hajime
    Huh? No way in hell!
[17:16] Nio
    Okay. Thanks.
[17:17] Hajime
    I just told you I can't do it!
[17:19] Funazo
    S-S-Stay back!
[17:40] Hajime
    Where's the kid?
[17:46] Nio
    She's fine!
[17:48] Hajime
    Awe—
[17:49] Hajime
    All right. Well, that wasn't terrible.
[17:58] Hajime
    Sh-She must be all right
    if she can cry this much.
[18:01] Nio
    I'll say.
[18:02] Funazo
    Damn it all!
[18:04] Funazo
    I can at least end it all.
[18:07] Funazo
    That'll show them how I've suffered.
[18:13] Hajime
    That broken sword won't do the job.
[18:15] Funazo
    I don't want to hear it!
[18:22] Funazo
    Wh-Why stop me?
[18:25] Nio
    Don't do it.
[18:27] Funazo
    But why stop me?
[18:32] Nio
    I... I don't know my enemy's name.
[18:38] Nio
    I don't know what I should
    be fighting against, but...
[18:43] Misaki
    Dad...
[18:45] Misaki
    Don't. Don't do it.
[18:49] Nio
    I know you have a daughter.
[18:55] Townsman A
    Funazo!
[18:56] Nio
    And I know you have people
     who care about you.
[19:01] Nio
    I'm sorry.
[19:03] Nio
    I don't have the right answer,
[19:10] Nio
    but Funazo-san,
    I know dying is the wrong one.
[19:14] Nio
    I'm sure of that, if nothing else.
[19:17] Nio
    That's what I think.
[19:24] Funazo
    Damn it.
[19:27] Funazo
    Damn it.
[19:54] Hajime
    Softies.
[19:56] Hajime
    They should've tossed him in a jail cell.
[19:58] Nio
    Maybe.
[20:00] Nio
    But it's better to fix things
    the soft way if you can.
[20:08] Nio
    Oh! W-We might be in trouble!
[20:11] Hajime
    Why? What's wrong?
[20:12] Nio
    Hijikata-san told us to
    stay put and wait for him.
[20:25] Harada
    I hear you shrimps outdid yourselves.
[20:29] Nio
    Thank you, sir.

    This will help the boys grow.
    All according to plan.
[20:45] Todo
    Seriously?
[20:50] Nio
    Oh no! I've only done 700 today!
[20:53] Hajime
    Wrong.
[20:55] Nio
    Hajime-kun?
[20:57] Hajime
    Your median line's off-center.
[20:59] Nio
    You said that earlier. What does it mean?
[21:03] Hajime
    There's a line through
    the center of your body.
[21:06] Hajime
    It runs straight from your head to your toes.
[21:13] Hajime
    Always keep your left hand in line
    with it when you swing down.
[21:20] Hajime
    You'll get a little less awful
    if you can manage that.
[21:25] Nio
    Thank you, Hajime-kun!
[21:29] Taro
    Ugh! Look at these leftover onigiri!
[21:33] Hajime
    I-I couldn't tell he was there.
[21:35] Nio
    Taro-kun?
[21:38] Taro
    Won't someone eat them for me?
