SIGN    [The Shinsengumi has 45 articles strictly enforced by the laws of the "Kyukuchu Hatto."]
SIGN    [Hijikata, the man who created those laws, couldn't possibly...?! And "the man" who returned is...?!]
SIGN    [Shinsengumi Headquarters]
[01:41] A
    Did you hear? It seems that guy is returning
    to Edo after finishing his job.
[01:46] B
    It's Sensei, right? His baggage
    arrived already.
[01:49] B
    The new weapons he got are inside.
[01:51] A
    I heard he also picked up some
    good quality swords,
[01:56] A
    so the top members are scrambling.
[01:58] B
    They're really lucky.
    I want a new sword, too.
[02:01] Yamazaki
    Ah-hem.
[02:04] A
    Ah, Yamazaki-san.
[02:06] ---
    Ah! Could that sword be...
[02:08] B
    ...an Osafune Mark II?!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Bizen Osafune, a famous sword.]
[02:10] A
    That's great! It's got the brand
    name on it. So cool!
[02:12] Yamazaki
    Well, it's not like I came
    here to show it off.
[02:15] Yamazaki
    I just happened to pass by. By chance...
[02:18] B
    I'm jealous.
[02:19] ---
    Just a little... Please let
    me try a practice swing!
[02:22] Yamazaki
    Ah, of course you can.
[02:24] B
    Wow! I can really feel that
    brand-name difference!
[02:27] Yamazaki
    Additionally, it's waterproof. I don't
    want to brag, you know...
[02:32] Okita
    Hey, what are you guys making
    such a fuss about?
[02:36] B
    Ah, Captain Okita.
[02:37] A
    Look at Yamazaki-san's sword...
[02:39] ---
    Huh?
[02:41] A
    That sword is a...
[02:42] B
    Kikuichimonji RX-78!
SIGN    [Note: It's rumored the historical Soji Okita used a sword named Kikuichimonji.]
[02:45] B
    It has a built-in digital music player with
    a maximum playing time of 124 hours!
[02:52] B
    It's the Kikuichimonji RX-78!
[02:53] A
    It costs twice as much as the Osafune!
[02:56] A
    The swords at the captain's
    level are really something!
[02:59] Okita
    Hmm... Is this sword that great?
[03:01] Okita
    I just picked it up without thinking,
    so I didn't realize that.
[03:04] ---
    Huh?
[03:05] Okita
    What's that stick? Yamazaki... What
    is that? Did you buy that?
[03:07] Okita
    It almost looks rusted.
[03:09] Okita
    Captain, please let me try a
    few practice swings for a bit!
[03:13] A/B
    Wow! This first-class stuff
    is really amazing!
[03:16] A/B
    It sounds completely different!
    The deep bass is amazing!
[03:20] Kondo
    Hey, what's going on? Why
    is it so noisy this morning?
[03:22] A
    Chief! I'm sorry. Well...
[03:26] A
    That sword is...
[03:27] B
    The Kotetsu Z-Second.
SIGN    
[03:29] ---
    Not only does it have digital
    music equipment,
[03:32] ---
    but it also has a special metal attachment on
    the end that can be used as a floor cleaner!
[03:37] A
    It costs three times as much
    as the Kikuichimonji! Cool!
[03:41] Kondo
    You guys are using such cheap swords?
    A sword is a samurai's soul.
[03:46] Kondo
    If you use such shabby swords, it'll
    reveal the true nature of your soul.
[03:50] Okita
    Kondo-san, you're great! We
    won't ever be equal to you.
[03:53] Okita
    We should work harder and hope to some
    day own stuff on your kind of level.
[03:57] Okita
    Kondo-san, can I try some practice
    swings for a moment?
[04:01] Kondo
    Ah, go right ahead.
[04:03] Okita
    There!
[04:05] Kondo
    Kotetsu!
[04:07] Okita
    Ah, I'm sorry. I thought a sword like this
    could cut through rock, but it failed.
[04:11] Kondo
    You! You definitely did that on purpose!
[04:13] Kondo
    You were jealous of my Kotetsu-chan...
    You were jealous!
SIGN    ["Rules Are Made to be Broken"]
[04:23] Hijikata
    I'm not going to say a sword
    is a samurai's soul.
[04:27] Hijikata
    Besides, I don't think the level of the
    sword one carries raises his status.
[04:33] Hijikata
    For me, a sword is just a sword.
[04:36] Hijikata
    And that's the most important
    thing to me.
[04:40] Hijikata
    Most important of all is a sword that can
    break through the enemy's blade.
[04:46] Swordsmith
    It seems you're overdoing
    it as rashly as ever.
[04:49] Swordsmith
    A sword can be used again
    after it's been mended,
[04:52] Swordsmith
    but humans don't work that way.
[04:54] Hijikata
    As long as a human doesn't
    break, he can recover, right?
[04:57] Swordsmith
    If you keep fighting in such a way that
    damages your sword so much,
[05:02] Swordsmith
    you'll end up being broken in two
    pretty soon. That's what I meant.
[05:07] Hijikata
    This looks like a good sword.
[05:10] Hijikata
    Old man, until mine is repaired,
    let me borrow this.
[05:14] Swordsmith
    You can't use that one.
[05:16] Swordsmith
    That sword comes with a story behind it.
[05:19] Hijikata
    What? You mean I can listen to music with
    it or it can be used as a floor cleaner?
[05:24] Swordsmith
    There's no question that sword
    is terribly sharp. However...
[05:29] Swordsmith
    It's cursed.
[05:32] Hijikata
    Cursed? You've got to be kidding me.
[05:35] Swordsmith
    An ordinary sword user will be consumed
    by the soul of that sword.
[05:40] Swordsmith
    You won't able to handle it.
[05:42] Swordsmith
    ...Will you listen to my old
    story for a moment?
[05:47] Swordsmith
    It's a tragic tale of a reincarnated
    demonic sword...
[05:52] Hijikata
    But I didn't listen to it.
[05:54] Hijikata
    In general, old men's stories tend to
    be long. I don't have time for that.
[05:59] Hijikata
    Whether its price is high or low, whether
    it can be used to listen to music,
[06:03] Hijikata
    or whether the sword is cursed,
    it doesn't matter to me.
[06:09] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    You must be Shinsengumi Vice-Chief
    Toshiro Hijikata-dono.
[06:13] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    Although you're a samurai, you've
    sided with the Amanto for perks!
[06:16] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    You're a traitor! We, the advanced
    party of the Anti-Foreigner Faction,
[06:18] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    are here to bring punishment
    from heaven!
[06:22] Hijikata (M)
    This is a chance to test it out.
[06:24] Hijikata (M)
    Let me see how this cursed
    demonic sword works.
[06:28] Hijikata
    Here we go!
[06:31] Hijikata
    I'm sorry!
[06:39] Hijikata (M)
    Huh? What's this...?
[06:41] Hijikata (M)
    Wh-What am I doing? My body
    is moving on its own...
[06:45] Hijikata (M)
    My mouth is moving on its own...
[06:47] Hijikata
    I'm sorry! My life! Please spare me!
[06:52] Hijikata
    I'll lick anything, even the
    soles of your sandals!
[06:56] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    Who's this pathetic guy?!
[06:59] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    That's Toshiro Hijikata!
[07:01] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    The man who is feared as the Demon
    Vice-Chief! How miserable!
[07:05] Hijikata (M)
    Wh-Wh-What's wrong with me?!
    My body doesn't respond at all!
[07:10] Swordsmith
    An ordinary sword user will be consumed
    by the soul of that sword.
[07:16] Hijikata (M)
    Don't tell me... This...?!
[07:18] Hijikata (M)
    Why is the demonic sword's curse making
    me act this way?! That's ridiculous...!
[07:25] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    I don't know what's going on,
[07:26] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    but we'll be paying you back for
    everything you did to us before!
[07:33] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    You just said you would lick the soles
    of our sandals, didn't you?!
[07:35] ---
    Then lick it!
[07:37] Hijikata
    Y-You bastard!
[07:43] Hijikata (M)
    It may be a cursed sword or whatever,
    but... I... Ugh... won't...!
[07:51] Hijikata
    Um... Please forgive
    me by accepting this.
[07:54] Hijikata
    I have 3,000 yen.
[07:56] Hijikata
    But please don't take my Suica, because
    I won't be able to go home without it.
SIGN    [Note: Suica is a rechargeable IC card used as a fare card on train lines in Japan.]
[07:59] Anti Foreigner Ronin A
    Don't screw with us!
[08:01] Anti Foreigner Ronin B
    What's with this guy?!
    He's flip-flopping his personality!
[08:03] Anti Foreigner Ronin B
    Anyway, why does an adult like
    you have only 3,000 yen?!
[08:07] Hijikata (M)
    This is bad... There's something
    totally wrong with me...
[08:10] Hijikata (M)
    I'm a goner...
[08:12] Hijikata (M)
    As things are...
[08:14] Hijikata (M)
    I'll be finished...
[08:15] Ito
    Hey!
[08:25] Hijikata (M)
    A familiar uniform.
[08:26] Hijikata (M)
    A familiar stance.
[08:28] Hijikata (M)
    But his face is...
[08:37] Ito
    I just saw a member of the Shinsengumi
    being attacked, so I rushed over here...
[08:42] Ito
    What are you doing in a place like this,
[08:45] Ito
    Hijikata-kun?
[08:47] Hijikata
    You're...
[08:49] Kondo
    A toast to Kamotaro Ito-kun's
    return. Cheers!
[08:53] All
    Cheers!
[08:57] Kondo
    Well, Ito Sensei, you did
    a good job this time.
[09:02] Kondo
    But that many weapons...
[09:04] Kondo
    I wonder how you got those stingy people in
    the government to loosen their purse strings!
[09:08] Ito
    Kondo-san, being stingy means being shrewd
    enough to profit from a different viewpoint.
[09:13] Ito
    All you have to do is just explain that the government
    will profit by making expenditures on us...
[09:21] Ito
    Though, just as you say, Kondo-san,
[09:24] Ito
    they're pertinacious people who don't care
    about our hardships and groveling.
[09:30] ---
    It wasn't easy for me to explain it to them,
    in a way they could easily understand.
[09:37] Kondo
    That's right! That's absolutely right!
[09:39] Kondo
    They're pertinacious! They really are!
[09:42] Okita
    Kondo-san, what does
    pertinacious mean?
[09:44] Kondo
    You shut up! Kids should be quiet!
[09:48] Ito
    Kondo-san, if people like them stay at
    the top, this country will be ruined.
[09:53] Ito
    We can't stay in a smoldering
    place like this.
[09:57] Ito
    We have to move forward! We must
    work toward a higher goal!
[10:02] Ito
    And we'll eventually become like the swords,
    the keystones of this country.
[10:08] Ito
    I believe that saving this confused country is
    the mission for those of us born as samurai.
[10:12] Ito
    For that, I wouldn't mind
    giving my life to you!
[10:17] Ito
    Kondo-san, let's work hard together!
[10:19] Kondo
    Right. Everyone, let's work
    hard pertinacious!
[10:22] Ito
    No, you're using "pertinacious"
    the wrong way.
[10:27] C
    Ito-san has started expressing
    his valuable opinions again.
[10:30] D
    Even the Chief calls him "Sensei."
[10:33] D
    He's just a newcomer who
    joined us only a year ago.
[10:36] C
    I wonder if he's getting so full of himself
[10:39] C
    because he was just assigned the title of advisor.
[10:41] D
    I'm not blaming him.
[10:42] D
    He's intelligent, really good at his job and
    is fully proficient in Hokuto Itto Ryu.
SIGN    [Note: The Hokuto Itto Ryu is a northern sword style.]
[10:48] C
    Vice-Chief is also intelligent, but he's
    really only a battle strategist.
[10:53] C
    So Ito-san's the only person who
    can manage political matters.
[10:55] C
    No wonder he is a great help to the chief.
[10:58] D
    Ito-san has hardly ever been in the headquarters...
    but it might be about time...
[11:04] C
    For what?
[11:06] D
    I've never seen Ito-san and Hijikata-san talk
    about each other, only about their jobs.
[11:22] Ito
    Hijikata-kun, I have something
    to ask you.
[11:26] Hijikata
    What a coincidence... me, too.
[11:29] Ito/Hijikata
    You hate me,
    don't you?
[11:29] Ito/Hijikata
    You hate me,
    don't you?
[11:32] Ito
    Because I'm Kondo-san's favorite,
    and although I'm a newcomer,
[11:35] Ito
    I'm rising to fame so fast
    that it threatens you.
[11:39] Ito
    I bet I'm an eyesore to you, right?
[11:42] Hijikata
    That's what you think? You want to advance
    in your career, but I'm higher than you.
[11:48] Hijikata
    I bet I'm an eyesore to you, right?
[11:52] Ito
    It's a groundless suspicion, Hijikata-kun.
    I don't think about that kind of thing.
[11:56] Hijikata
    That's good. It seems we have cleared
    up any misunderstandings.
[12:00] Ito
    An eyesore...
[12:02] Hijikata
    It's even more than that.
[12:05] Ito/Hijikata
    Some time in the future, I'll kill you.
[12:14] Kondo
    Toshi...
[12:15] Kondo
    I heard about you from Ito Sensei.
[12:17] Kondo
    That was a stroke of bad
    luck. How's your injury?
[12:22] Kondo
    Toshi...
[12:24] ---
    Although we call ourselves samurai,
[12:27] ---
    we're really just a bunch of country boys.
SIGN    [Kyukuchu Hatto]
[12:30] Kondo
    Even though that's what we
    are, when facing death,
[12:33] Kondo
    we're able to act more like
    samurai than real samurai.
[12:36] Kondo
    It was because of the Kyokuchu Hatto,
[12:38] Kondo
    the strict laws you created,
    that we can be like that.
[12:41] Kondo
    It has 45 articles, encompassing everything
    from daily behavior to manners,
[12:45] Kondo
    and even battle preparation.
[12:47] Kondo
    These are the strict laws that govern us.
[12:49] Kondo
    If you break any one of those laws,
    you'll have to commit seppuku.
[12:52] Kondo
    That's your image of the ideal samurai.
[12:56] Kondo
    We all agree.
[12:59] ---
    Do you understand, Toshi?
[13:00] ---
    You're the ideal samurai
    model for everyone.
[13:04] Kondo
    Everyone models himself after
    you. Everyone watches you.
[13:08] Kondo
    I'm not in a position to say this, but don't do
    anything to betray the way of the samurai.
[13:13] Hijikata
    ...He's quite a guy.
[13:16] Hijikata
    As quick as a flash, news of my
    shameful behavior has spread.
[13:19] ---
    Well, for him, it's the perfect opportunity
    to defeat me and rise up the ladder.
[13:26] Kondo
    Toshi, stop talking that way. Ito Sensei is
    thinking about the spirit of the group...
[13:30] Hijikata
    I already told you to stop
    calling him "Sensei."
[13:33] Hijikata
    Kondo-san, are you going to give
    your position of Chief to him?
[13:38] Hijikata
    If that's not the case,
[13:39] Hijikata
    are you going to share your position as
    head of the Shinsengumi with him?
[13:43] Hijikata
    Need I remind you that members are
    unsure about how to treat him.
[13:48] Hijikata
    His former colleagues, who entered at
    the same time, are already his allies.
[13:54] Kondo
    Are you saying that Ito Sensei is trying
    to take over the Shinsengumi?
[13:59] Hijikata
    Who knows?
[14:00] Hijikata
    But ever since he got here he's done nothing
    but gather allies and influence.
[14:04] Hijikata
    ...It's obvious he's up to something.
[14:07] Hijikata
    He's not as powerful as he wants
    to be and he's not satisfied.
[14:13] Hijikata
    Kondo-san... If a snake has two heads...
[14:17] Hijikata
    ...one either has to rot and fall off or the
    ensuing feud will split the body in two.
[14:25] Kondo
    I believe that Ito Sensei is a crucial
    man for the Shinsengumi.
[14:31] Kondo
    Hey, Toshi, we're not doing this
    to ensure your own position.
[14:36] Kondo
    We're doing this to protect Edo and
    to stick to the ways of the samurai.
[14:39] Kondo
    To get that wisdom, I'll ask for
    anyone who can teach it.
[14:43] ---
    It's natural to call the person
    who teaches us "Sensei."
[14:47] ---
    If you ask me to treat him
    like a follower, I'll refuse.
[14:51] Kondo
    I've never thought of you
    guys as my followers.
[14:55] Kondo
    As for the way of the samurai,
    we're on equal footing.
[15:01] Hijikata
    Kondo-san, you don't
    understand anything.
[15:05] Hijikata
    Pretty words won't help manage
    the organization...!
[15:10] Kondo
    Toshi!
[15:14] Tomoe
    Pretty Girl Samurai, Tomoe 5000 is here!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Sailor Moon]
[15:18] Hijikata
    Damn it! It's already started! I forgot
    to record it! Tomoe-chan!
[15:25] Hijikata
    My body...again...
[15:28] Hijikata
    What am I watching?!
[15:35] Tomoe
    Punishment is complete.
[15:38] Squad Member A
    Hey, hey, did you hear
    about the Vice-Chief?
[15:41] Squad Member B
    Hear what?
[15:42] Squad Member A
    The Vice-Chief was attacked by Anti-Foreigner
    Faction ronin the other day.
[15:46] Squad Member A
    He was saved by Ito-san. But
    you probably won't believe it.
[15:49] Squad Member A
    The Vice-Chief knelt, bowed
    and begged for his life.
[15:53] Yamazaki
    It's impossible that something
    like that could happen.
[15:55] Yamazaki
    He would rather die than
    do something like that.
[15:58] Yamazaki
    He's the demon Vice-Chief.
    The "demon."
[16:00] Squad Member C
    But I heard it, too.
[16:02] Squad Member B
    Hey, hey, cut it out already.
[16:04] Squad Member B
    If this conversation is overheard,
    we'll be in trouble.
[16:06] Squad Member B
    It's against the Kyokuchu Hatto
    rules to pass JUMP around.
[16:10] Squad Member B
    "No reading of manga, except for MAGAZINE,
    allowed in the headquarters."
SIGN    [Note: MAGAZINE refers to "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE, a rival of Shonen JUMP.]
[16:14] Squad Member B
    If someone sees us, we'll
    have to commit seppuku.
[16:16] Yamazaki
    Hijikata prefers MAGAZINE.
[16:18] Hijikata
    Let me see that.
[16:19] Yamazaki
    Moreover, he liked yankee manga a decade
    ago. It's hard for us JUMP fans.
SIGN    [Note: Yankee manga is a genre where bad boys fight others.]
[16:24] Yamazaki
    V-Vice-Chief! Wh-When did you...?!
[16:27] Yamazaki
    No, that's like nothing... That's...uh!
[16:29] Yamazaki
    The thickness of the book is about the
    same...so I bought it by mistake!
[16:32] Hijikata
    Hey!
[16:33] Yamazaki
    Yes, sir!
[16:34] Hijikata
    "To Love-Ru" is really great.
SIGN    [Note: "ToLoveる" is a manga in JUMP.]
[16:38] Hijikata
    I'm going to buy the manga.
[16:41] Squad Member A
    "To-To-To Love-Ru?" Is
    that the Vice-Chief?!
[16:44] Yamazaki
    For argument's sake, "Boys be…"
SIGN    [Note: "Boys be…" is a manga in Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE.]
SIGN    [MEETING ROOM]
[16:47] Hijikata
    These days, attacks by Anti-Foreigner
    Faction ronin have increased.
[16:50] Hijikata
    So, make sure not to go off on your own.
[16:53] All
    Yes, sir!
[16:54] Hijikata
    Then, I'll assign today's
    shift. Squad one is…
[16:59] Squad Member E
    Damn it! My cell phone...!
[17:00] Squad Member F
    You idiot!
[17:02] Squad Member F
    If your cell phone rings during a meeting,
[17:03] Squad Member F
    you'll have to commit seppuku
    according to the Kyukuchu Hatto.
[17:06] Squad Member E
    Hijikata-san! Nothing… I… My wife
    is in labor, so she called me…

[17:21] Hijikata
    Hello, this is Hijikata…
[17:24] Hijikata
    Yes…right now? No problem.
[17:28] Hijikata
    Huh? The limited-edition DVD
    BOX comes with a figurine?
[17:32] Hijikata
    Well, then…one to save, and one for
    that… I'll need a total of two sets.
[17:42] Squad Member G
    Hey! Spit it out! I'm asking you
    where your headquarters is!
[17:47] Anti Foreigner Ronin C
    I won't sell out my own
    comrades! Kill me!
[17:50] Anti Foreigner Ronin C
    I'd rather die like a samurai
    than shame myself!
[17:53] Squad Member G
    Hey, hey! Do you really think you
    can die in a place like this?
[17:58] Squad Member G
    We'll make you feel like you’re in a
    hell worse than death from now on.
[18:03] ---
    Vice-Chief!
[18:05] Squad Member G
    Work him over! Please.
[18:09] Hijikata
    Get out of here, you guys.
[18:12] Squad Member G
    Y-Yes.
[18:16] Squad Member H
    He's a really scary guy…
[18:18] Squad Member G
    When the Vice-Chief works a
    guy over with his own hands,
[18:21] Squad Member G
    the interrogation room becomes
    completely silent.
[18:24] Squad Member G
    However, five minutes later,
[18:26] Squad Member G
    even the bravest men start crying
    and spit out everything.
[18:34] Squad Member H
    Wh-What's going on inside?
[18:37] Squad Member G
    Just take a peek. You'll see hell on earth.
[18:44] Hijikata
    What? Is there anyone you like?
[18:47] Anti Foreigner Ronin C
    Not really. I don't have anyone.
[18:49] Hijikata
    Come on! I already told you,
    so it’s your turn to tell me.
[18:53] Hijikata
    It's not fair! Not fair! You lied to me,
    didn't you?! You did! You tell me!
[18:57] Anti Foreigner Ronin C
    All right! I'll tell you then! But don't
    tell anyone! It's a secret.
[19:02] Hijikata
    Well, I don't know about that.
[19:04] Hijikata
    Oh, damn it! The teachers are on
    patrol. Put out the cigarettes!
[19:08] Squad Member
    Is this a school trip or something?
[19:11] Hijikata
    …That's how it goes.
[19:13] Hijikata
    After I got this sword,
    everything went wrong.
[19:16] Hijikata
    It looks like I’m really cursed.
[19:21] Hijikata
    That’s why I didn't want to tell you.
[19:23] Hijikata
    You don't believe me, do you?
    There's no way you'll believe me.
[19:26] Hijikata
    Just like that, I had switched personalities
    with someone completely different.
[19:30] Hijikata
    No, that wasn't someone else.
[19:33] Hijikata
    The weak side inside everyone
    gets awakened by this sword.
[19:39] Okita
    Hijikata-san, you can't blame
    being weak on the sword.
[19:43] Okita
    You were weak to begin
    with, Hijikata-san.
[19:45] Hijikata
    That's right; I'm always like this…
[19:48] Okita
    Oh, my…this is really something strange.
[19:51] Okita
    Then why don't you just throw
    away that cursed sword?
[19:55] Hijikata
    I would, If I could. I even find myself carrying
    it with me to the toilet and bath.
[20:01] Hijikata
    I can't get rid of it, even if I want to.
[20:03] Hijikata
    And the old man at the swordsmith’s
    isn't there anymore.
[20:07] Okita
    Then are you trying to say…that's the reason
    you had a fight with Kondo-san?
[20:13] Hijikata
    …I wish I could say that…
[20:15] Okita
    Hijikata-san, if you don’t
    pay attention this time,
[20:18] Okita
    Ito-san will take away your
    vice-chief position.
[20:21] Hijikata
    No time for that now.
[20:23] Hijikata
    Since I became like this, I've already broken
    more than ten of the Kyokuchu Hatto rules.
[20:28] Hijikata
    If Ito delivers a sentence for seppuku
    tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised.
[20:33] Hijikata
    As I am right now, I wouldn't refuse.
[20:36] Hijikata
    If you're with me, you'll
    attract Ito's attention.
[20:42] Okita
    …Hijikata-san…
[20:43] Okita
    Wait, Hijikata-san!
[20:47] Okita
    Go buy me a Yakisoba pan.
SIGN    [Note: Yakisoba pan is noodles in a hot dog bun.]
[20:50] Okita
    And JUMP, too. Of course,
    you pay for them.
[20:55] Kondo
    Toshi is late. It's already past the time.
[21:00] Kondo
    This is a really important meeting…
[21:02] Ito
    Kondo-san.
[21:03] Ito
    This is a good opportunity. I was going
    to bring him up for discussion.
[21:09] Ito
    I think you’ve already heard
    about his recent behavior.
[21:14] Ito
    He broke the Kyokuchu Hatto
    rules more than ten times.
[21:18] Ito
    And yet he created those
    rules for the members.
[21:21] Ito
    Besides him being late for an
    important meeting like this,
[21:25] Ito
    If we continue to let him act like this, we won't
    be able to control the other members.
[21:29] Kondo
    Sensei, hold on. I know Toshi well.
[21:31] Kondo
    He must have something
    exceedingly important…
[21:33] Ito
    I'm not only talking about
    this particular case.
[21:36] Ito
    Of course, I fully understand what he
    achieved for the Shinsengumi before.
[21:43] Ito
    That's why I want to give
    him some candid advice.
[21:46] Ito
    If he's the symbol of the Shinsengumi,
    and he downplays the rules,
[21:50] Ito
    other members will do the same.
[21:52] Ito
    A pack of wolves that has lost its discipline
    will be like sheep without a shepherd.
[21:56] Ito
    He's the one who deserves
    strict punishment!
[21:59] Ito
    Kondo-san, please make a firm decision!
[22:01] Kondo
    Hold on! Toshi will definitely…
[22:07] Hijikata
    Hi! I bought your Yakisoba
    pan, Okita Senpai!
[22:11] Hijikata
    I'm sorry, but they didn't have
    JUMP, so I got MAGAZINE…
[22:29] Hijikata (M)
    D-Damn it! I was trapped!
[22:37] Hijikata (M)
    Those guys…were working together!
SIGN    [To Be Continued]
SIGN    
SIGN    I didn't expect anything like that, Okita-kun.
SIGN    That you would be on my side. What do you desire?
[24:23] Okita
    Naturally…the Vice-Chief position.
SIGN    ["Otaku Are Talkative"]
