[00:00] Old Nagakura
    And so, we Miburo became
    agents of the Aizu Domain.
[00:06] Boy A
    Whoa! The Shinsengumi were tough!
[00:08] Boy B
    You caught all the bad guys!
[00:11] Tsuru
    Hey, Nagakura-sensei...
[00:14] Old Nagakura
    Yes, Tsuru?
[00:15] Tsuru
    Who was the strongest guy
    in the Shinsengumi?
[00:19] Old Nagakura
    The strongest, huh?
[00:24] Old Nagakura
    That reminds me...
[00:28] Todo
    Who among us is truly strong?
[00:32] Todo
    When the dust settles,
    who will be left standing?
[00:35] Todo
    We'll find out with the first ever
    Grand Miburo Drinking Contest!

[02:15] Nio
    It's late! Keep your voices down!
[02:20] Nio
    Our hosts, the Yagis, gave us sake
    to celebrate our new status,
[02:26] Nio
    but the party turned into a ruckus.
[02:29] Todo
    Now, Serizawa-sensei will close us out.
[02:32] Serizawa
    Very well.
[02:33] Todo
    Kondo-sensei will lead the toast.
[02:36] Kondo
    Very well.
[02:39] Kondo
    To our grand new patron—
[02:43] Nio
    K-Kondo-san?!
[02:45] Todo
    Who will be the last man standing?
[02:47] Harada
    Me!
[02:48] Serizawa
    I will!
[02:50] Hijikata
    He has no tolerance whatsoever.
[02:52] Nio
    Why didn't you stop him?!
[02:57] Harada
    Toss the corpses to one side.
[03:01] Todo
    Anyway, time to party!
[03:02] Harada
    Drink up!
[03:06] Nagakura
    My father was always a happy drunk.
[03:10] Nio
    I see.
[03:11] Harada
    Look, Nio.
[03:13] Harada
    This here's a seppuku scar.
[03:16] Harada
    Cool, right?
[03:17] Nio
    Why'd you take your clothes off?!
[03:19] Hirayama
    What cheap sake.
[03:22] Hirama
    Who cares? As long as it gets us drunk.
[03:24] Yamanami
    You heard me!
[03:25] Yamanami
    Is that good enough for you?!
[03:27] Yamanami
    I'm asking if you're ready to die!
[03:29] Yamanami
    Well?!
[03:30] Nio
    Yamanami-san, what are you
    yelling at that wall about?!
[03:34] Okita
    I'm still in the game!
[03:36] Yamanami
    Hang in there.
[03:41] Hajime
    What a waste of time.
[03:47] Nio
    He got drunk just sniffing it?!
[04:01] Nio
    It's almost over.
[04:03] Nio
    I hope none of them get back up.
[04:05] Nio
    It's now a duel.
[04:07] Nio
    Hijikata-san versus Serizawa-san.
[04:12] Nio
    Here, sir.
[04:17] Serizawa
    Hijikata, maybe we oughta
    sit down and talk, man-to-man.
[04:23] Hijikata
    Oh?
[04:25] Hijikata
    And what would we discuss?
[04:28] Serizawa
    The Miburo's future.
[04:32] Hijikata
    What do you mean by that?
[04:36] Serizawa
    You don't seem to think too highly
     of our answering to Aizu.
[04:45] Hijikata
    I don't mind it.
[04:46] Hijikata
    I just wonder if it's really necessary.
[04:50] Serizawa
    We need a patron to vouch for us.
[04:53] Hijikata
    Why?
[04:54] Serizawa
    It gives us some leeway to go wild.
[05:00] Hijikata
    Serizawa-san.
[05:02] Hijikata
    We didn't come here to throw our
    weight around for our own benefit.
[05:07] Serizawa
    What?!
[05:09] Serizawa
    I was born to throw my weight around!
[05:12] Serizawa
    Weren't you?
[05:15] Hijikata
    What drives you to act this way?
[05:19] Serizawa
    You want to know?
[05:26] Serizawa
    My turtle.
[05:28] Nio
    Huh?
[05:30] Serizawa
    My older brother stomped my turtle dead.
[05:34] Nio
    What? Why?
[05:36] Serizawa
    How should I know?
[05:39] Serizawa
    I let him have it! Punched his
     lights out! You should've seen it.
[05:43] Serizawa
    His face puffed up to twice its size.
[05:49] Nio
    Well, I can't blame you.
[05:52] Nio
    I realize how you must have felt, sir.
[05:57] Serizawa
    I got ordered to my room
    without food for three days. He didn't.
[06:02] Serizawa
    I was the fourth son, you see.
[06:05] Serizawa
    I thought that was wrong.
    I thought it made no sense.
[06:11] Serizawa
    But I had brawn,
    so I decided to take it all.
[06:18] Serizawa
    I want the finest women!
    I want to build a castle!
[06:22] Serizawa
    I want my own domain!
[06:27] Serizawa
    Does that sound crazy?
[06:30] Nio
    No.
[06:33] Hijikata
    About that castle.
    Do you care where you build it?
[06:37] Serizawa
    Hm? What do you mean?
[06:40] Hijikata
    I'd build mine in Hino,
    in the countryside outside Edo.
[06:47] Hijikata
    I grew up in Tama,
    the Shogun's personal domain.
[06:51] Hijikata
    We didn't exactly want
    for nothing, but it wasn't bad.
[06:56] Nio
    I get it.
[06:57] Nio
    I totally get that hometown feeling.
[07:00] Serizawa
    Pathetic!
[07:01] Serizawa
    Leaving my hometown set me free.
[07:04] Serizawa
    I don't owe it squat.
[07:07] Serizawa
    Don't let where you were born tie you down.
[07:10] Serizawa
    Fight on wherever you end up!
[07:14] Serizawa
    Keep screaming, "Here I am!"
[07:17] Serizawa
    That's what it means to be a man.
[07:23] Serizawa
    Am I right, Nio?
[07:30] Nio
    Well...
[07:32] Nio
    I want to protect this city I grew up in.
[07:37] Serizawa
    You want to protect the city?!
[07:39] Serizawa
    As if any one person could!
[07:41] Serizawa
    Don't get conceited!
[07:44] Serizawa
    You haven't got a clue.
[07:48] Serizawa
    I'm going to sleep.
[07:55] Hijikata
    He means, "Use your imagination."
[07:58] Hijikata
    We know you care about this city.
[08:02] Hijikata
    But what if you were driven out of it?
[08:05] Hijikata
    Would you just die?
[08:08] Hijikata
    I think that's the point
    Serizawa was trying to make.
[08:13] Hijikata
    Anyway, think on it.
[08:15] Hijikata
    I'm turning in, too.
[08:24] Nio
    What would I do if I left Kyoto?
    I have no idea.
[08:30] Taro
    Are they finally all asleep?
[08:33] Taro
    It's nearly dawn.
[08:35] Nio
    Do you like this city, Taro-kun?
[08:37] Taro
    Why would I?! Do you know how
    many times I've nearly died here?!
[08:41] Nio
    Oh, right.
[08:43] Nio
    Why do I like this city?
[08:47] Nio
    Granny. Iroha.
[08:50] Nio
    I miss you so much now,
    and I don't know why.
[08:56] Nio
    Hey! Someone's still up!
[09:01] Nio
    Inoue-san!
[09:02] Inoue-san
    I... win.
[09:07] Old Nagakura
    The Grand Drinking Contest ended with
    Inoue Genzaburo emerging triumphant,
[09:12] Old Nagakura
    but history took no notice.
[09:19] Okita
    Talk about a slow day, huh?
[09:22] Hijikata
    That's the best we can hope for.
[09:24] Okita
    I know, but—
[09:26] Okita
    Hey.
[09:29] Okita
    Isn't this your grandma's
    dango place, Nio-kun?
[09:33] Nio
    Yes, it is.
[09:34] Okita
    Guess I shouldn't be surprised
    it's closed at this hour.
[09:44] Hijikata
    Come along, Nio.
[09:45] Nio
    Y-Yes, sir.
[09:48] Okita
    I sure am hungry for dango now.
[09:52] Kondo
    Let us make a banner for the Miburo.
[09:56] Hijikata
    Where did this come from?
[09:58] Yamanami
    That may be a good idea.
[10:00] Yamanami
    The sight of a military banner
    should discourage wrongdoers.
[10:04] Kondo
    No, it will look grand.
[10:06] Kondo
    I've always admired the 47 Ronin of Ako.
[10:11] Harada
    A banner?
[10:12] Nio
    I think it'd be nice if we all
     wore matching coats, too.
[10:17] Okita; Nagakura; Harada; Todo
    That's it!
[10:20] Todo
    What kind of coat do we want?
[10:21] Harada
    Something stylish and dashing.
[10:23] Kondo
    No, first the banner—
[10:25] Hijikata
    Wait.
[10:27] Hijikata
    I know an old dango seller
    with an eye for fancy clothes.
[10:32] Okita
    You mean Nio-kun's grandma, right?
[10:35] Okita
    She'd be perfect for the job.
[10:38] Nio
    Hijikata-san.
[10:43] Serizawa
    What's this about?
[10:45] Nio
    Serizawa-san.
[10:46] Hijikata
    We were discussing
    matching coats for our uniforms.
[10:51] Serizawa
    Uniforms?
[10:52] Kondo
    And a banner.
[10:53] Hijikata
    Would you mind leaving it in my hands?
[10:57] Kondo
    Make it pale blue-green.
[10:58] Nio
    Ah, Inoue-san did win the
    Grand Drinking Contest yesterday.
[11:04] Hirama
    That's a dirty trick!
[11:06] Hirayama
    What does that have to do with this?
[11:09] Serizawa
    Very well.
[11:11] Serizawa
    But make sure mine stands out from the rest.
[11:18] Hijikata
    Nio, get going.
[11:20] Nio
    Yes, sir!
[11:21] Serizawa
    Taro, go with him.
[11:23] Taro
    Y-Yes, sir!
[11:25] Harada
    You, too, Hajime.
[11:26] Hajime
    What for?!
[11:27] Okita
    Good idea. Send the whole boy brigade.
[11:30] Hajime
    Don't treat me like a kid!
[11:34] Customer 1
    Three glazed!
[11:35] Granny
    You got it!
[11:36] Customer 2
    Hey, lady, where's my zenzai soup?
    I've been waiting half an hour—
[11:41] Granny
    Pipe down.
[11:42] Granny
    Stop whining and lend a hand, why don't you?
[11:45] Nio
    Granny!
[11:46] Nio
    Hi. I'm home.
[11:54] Granny
    If it isn't...
[11:55] Nio
    Granny!
[11:57] Granny
    Who're you?
[11:58] Nio
    It's me, Nio!
[12:00] Nio
    Did you forget me?! Have you gone senile?!
[12:02] Granny
    Who're you calling "senile"?
    I recognize you all right, Nio.
[12:06] Granny
    But your eyes...
[12:09] Granny
    Hm?
[12:10] Granny
    Who're you?
[12:11] Nio
    This is Taro-kun and Hajime-kun.
     They're in the Miburo, too.
[12:18] Granny
    I've got new help!
[12:21] Hajime
    What?
[12:22] Hajime
    W-Welcome to the Chirinuya.
[12:26] Granny
    Speak up, Hajime!
[12:28] Hajime
    I-I'm a samurai! You can't expect me to do this!
[12:31] Granny
    What's that got to do with it?
[12:34] Granny
    Look at him.
[12:36] Taro
    Another order of dango? Coming right up.
[12:39] Customer 1
    Thanks.
[12:40] Taro
    No, thank you!
[12:42] Taro
    That'll be 60 mon.
[12:44] Granny
    Good work, Taro. You've got
    a good head on your shoulders.
[12:47] Taro
    This is kind of fun!
[12:50] Hajime
    Fine, I'll do it. Happy now?
[12:52] Customer 3
    Excuse me, I'd like some dango—
[12:54] Hajime
    You want dango?
    You'd better eat every last one.
[12:57] Granny
    Why are you threatening him?
[12:59] Granny
    Follow Taro's example.
[13:02] Taro
    This is where I really belong!
[13:04] Customer
    Thanks.
[13:06] Granny; Nio
    Don't mention it!
[13:07] Granny
    Okay, time to close up shop for the day.
[13:10] Hajime
    I-I'm dead tired.
[13:12] Nio
    Thanks for the help.
[13:13] Granny
    Taro, you're so cut out for this business.
[13:16] Taro
    I can't stop crying and I don't know why.
[13:19] Granny
    Now, clean up.
[13:21] Granny
    And make it snappy.
[13:23] Taro
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:29] Granny
    Yowch.
[13:29] Nio
    Granny looks a little shorter than before.
[13:34] Hajime
    She's tough.
[13:35] Nio
    Huh? You mean Granny?
[13:37] Hajime
    Yeah. I guess you'd call her a master.
[13:41] Hajime
    No ordinary lady her age
    could run this place alone.
[13:45] Hajime
    It's a pretty big shop.
[13:47] Nio
    Yes, you've got a point.
[13:49] Hajime
    That takes toughness.
[13:51] Hajime
    I guess the sword isn't
    the only way to be strong.
[13:55] Hajime
    She guards her livelihood
    day after day without complaint.
[13:58] Hajime
    I could never do that.
[14:03] Nio
    I hear this whole place burned down once,
[14:08] Nio
    but she borrowed money
    from all over to rebuild it.
[14:11] Hajime
    Is that so?
[14:13] Nio
    Then she took in my sister,
    Iroha, and me, and raised us.
[14:19] Nio
    I wonder where she gets
    that kind of strength from.
[14:23] Hajime
    Don't ask me.
[14:25] Nio
    I've always wanted to become a
    strong person who can protect people,
[14:31] Nio
    like Granny does.
[14:34] Nio
    I left home so I could
     learn how from the Miburo.
[14:39] Hajime
    So you get it from her.
[14:41] Nio
    Huh?
[14:42] Hajime
    I think I figured out
    what makes you so shameless.
[14:46] Granny
    Nio! Hajime! Get in here and lend a hand!
[14:50] Hajime
    Let's go.
[14:50] Nio
    Right.
[14:53] Granny
    Nio, I almost forgot.
[14:56] Granny
    Welcome home.
[14:58] Granny
    You came back looking a lot
    more grown-up than when you left.
[15:05] Nio
    Oh, thank goodness.
[15:07] Nio
    Yup! It's good to be home!
[15:10] Nio
    I got to come home and
    see Granny's face again.
[15:14] Granny
    Now, get moving.
[15:15] Granny
    Come spend the night, you three.
[15:19] Nio
    Thanks. We'd love to.
[15:21] Hajime
    Excuse me?
[15:22] Hajime
    You'd better not be thinking
    of working us again tomorrow!
[15:25] Taro
    Sleepover! Sleepover!
[15:29] Taro
    Lucky me!
[15:29] Granny
    Matching jackets for the Miburo?
[15:31] Nio
    Yeah. Hijikata-san wants you
     to think up a design for us.
[15:31] Taro
    We're all sleeping over, happy as can be!
[15:35] Taro
    We're not going home;
    we're sleeping over, all smiley!
[15:36] Granny
    Well, I can't turn down such a handsome man.
[15:40] Taro
    We're all sleeping over at Granny's place!
[15:46] Hajime
    Would you shut up already?
[15:48] Nio
    I can see Taro-kun's eyes sparkling!
[15:52] Granny
    Those Miburo are a funny bunch.
[15:54] Nio
    I couldn't believe how much they drank.
[15:58] Hajime
    They're a bunch of idiots.
[16:00] Taro
    This is great! I can't get enough, Granny!
[16:02] Granny
    How good could dried sardines be?
[16:06] granny
    Still, the Miburo's job is nabbing rascals
     and chopping 'em up, isn't it?
[16:11] Granny
    Are you boys really safe with them?
[16:14] Nio
    We don't use swords without good reason.
[16:17] Nio
    Our job is to make sure the people of Kyoto
     can live in peace. We keep the city safe.
[16:24] Granny
    Keep the city safe?
[16:26] Hajime
    Our first duty is guarding the
    Tokugawa Shogun who came here from Edo.
[16:30] Nio
    Yup. That's important, too.
[16:32] Granny
    Keeping the city safe?
    That's good. A mighty fine job.
[16:38] Nio
    Yeah.
[16:39] Nio
    By the way, how's Iroha?
[16:42] Grand
    Oh, I'm sure she's fine.
    She sends me letters sometimes.
[16:46] Nio
    Iroha always hated writing.
[16:49] Nio
    She must be working hard.
[16:54] Granny
    Right.
[16:55] Granny
    After dinner, it's time for a bath.
[16:57] Taro
    What? I hate baths.
[16:59] Granny
    Yes, yes. I'll take mine later,
    so hurry up and take your turns.
[17:06] Granny
    Don't peek now.
[17:08] Hajime
    As if!
[17:12] Granny
    I borrowed bedding from the neighbors,
     but it'll be a tight fit.
[17:17] Taro
    All right!
[17:20] Hajime
    I'd rather sleep here.
[17:22] Granny
    You'll never get a good night's sleep that way.
[17:24] Hajime
    Samurai don't sleep deeply.
[17:26] Taro
    I know just what you mean, Hajime!
[17:29] Taro
    You're so excited that
    you can't sleep a wink, right?
[17:31] Hajime
    Get to bed, you.
[17:37] Nio
    Granny.
[17:38] Granny
    Yes?
[17:40] Nio
    Sorry we dropped in so suddenly.
     Was it a bother?
[17:44] Granny
    Of course not.
[17:46] Granny
    Don't say things like that.
[17:49] Nio
    Okay.
[17:55] (Flashback) Hijikata
    But what if you were driven out of it?
[17:57] (Flashback) Hijikata
    Would you just die?
[18:00] Nio
    What would you do if you couldn't
    live here in Kyoto anymore?
[18:06] Granny
    What do you mean?
    Is that supposed to be funny?
[18:09] Nio
    No. I'm serious.
[18:15] Granny
    I'd die. This old woman will die here.
[18:19] Granny
    If I couldn't stay in Kyoto, I'd die here
    on the spot. You ought to know that.
[18:27] Nio
    Yeah. I thought you'd say that.
[18:31] Nio
    I like it here, so I feel the same way.
[18:34] Nio
    But why?
[18:36] Nio
    Why does this place mean so much to you?
[18:39] Granny
    Why? Well...
[18:42] Granny
    I had a real stroke of luck here.
[18:45] Nio
    Luck?
[18:47] Granny
    I got to live here with you and Iroha, Nio.
[18:54] Granny
    I feel that even more now that I'm on my own.
[18:59] Nio
    Granny, I want to apologize.
[19:03] Granny
    What for?
[19:05] Nio
    When I first came here, you invited me
    to New Year's shrine visits and festivals,
[19:10] Nio
    but I always said no.
[19:13] Granny
    Oh, right. You did at first.
[19:16] Nio
    To tell you the truth—
[19:18] Granny
    You thought you'd get praised for it, right?
     "Oh, how patient. How thoughtful."
[19:23] Nio
    You knew?
[19:24] Granny
    Of course I did.
[19:26] Granny
    How many years do you think
    I've been a granny for?
[19:30] Granny
    I can remember it all with my eyes closed.
[19:34] Granny
    You're too young to understand,
[19:38] Granny
    but raising kids is a funny thing.
[19:42] Granny
    If feels like living life over again.
[19:49] Granny
    You and Iroha gave me a new lease on life.
[19:54] Granny
    Even if you don't share blood...
[19:58] Granny
    the people you meet are treasures.
[20:06] Granny
    Living for someone who wasn't me...
[20:10] Granny
    Well, it was a world of fun.
[20:18] Granny
    That's the kind of place this is.
[20:22] Granny
    Nio, meet lots of people
    and learn lots of things.
[20:31] Granny
    That's what makes a person.
[20:34] Granny
    Your granny will die here
     with her memories.
[20:38] Granny
    I've set my mind on that.
[20:40] Granny
    I can't go off and live somewhere else now.
[20:46] Nio
    I knew it. My reason for
    fighting in Kyoto is clear as day.
[20:53] Granny
    'Course, I'm not dying anytime soon!
[20:55] Granny
    Now, go to sleep.
[20:57] Nio
    Okay. Good night.

    The people I care about are here.
[21:08] Granny
    All right, we've got a full day
     of work ahead of us!

    And your apricot-seed jelly.

    Chirinu Nio here.

    Man, it sure feels good to be home.

    The smell of cooking dango,
    the well-worn tatami,
[23:30] Nio
    and most importantly,
    Granny being her same old self.
[23:34] Nio
    I've realized all over again that they
     mean more to me than any treasure.

    I guess I'll keep finding more and
    more treasures to care about, huh?
