***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…
***SIGN*** [Note: The Pretty Cure (a magical girl series) song is playing.]
**[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"]
***SIGN*** [Hijikata knowingly broke the "Kyokuchu Hatto", and has been exiled from the Shinsengumi.]
***SIGN*** [He becomes a hopeless otaku and visits the Odd Jobs with "a request."]
