[00:03] Jigzaw
    Hijikata and Okita have been captured by the mysterious man, Jigzaw,
[00:06] Jigzaw
    and locked up in a deserted building.
[00:11] Jigzaw
    In order to escape, they must obtain a single key provided by Jigzaw.
[00:18] Jigzaw
    But only one person can use the key to unlock his chains and escape the room.
[00:24] Jigzaw
    When one's shackle is released, the other's will explode.
[00:30] Jigzaw
    And if one of them doesn't escape soon,
[00:34] Jigzaw
    the Shinsengumi station will be blown to pieces by Jigzaw's bomb.
[00:40] Jigzaw
    Kill one comrade to save the others.
[00:44] Jigzaw
    That would be the game of death Jigzaw has given the Shinsengumi to test their strong bond.
[00:54] Jigzaw
    And as for the new assassin Jigzaw has unleashed...?
[01:01] Jigzaw
    What will happen to the Shinsengumi?
[01:04] Hijikata
    Why are you doing the summary?!
[01:07] Hijikata
    What will happen, my ass!
[01:10] Hijikata
    You're the one who set this whole thing up!
[01:11] Hijikata
    Why are you talking like you have nothing to do with this?!
[01:13] Hijikata
    The hell is wrong with your head?!
[01:16] Jigzaw
    I'm being considerate for the audience who missed the previous episode.
[01:19] Jigzaw
    We want to help them understand what's going on.
[01:21] Hijikata
    How come you're nice to the audience?!
[02:58] Okita
    Th-That's...
[03:00] Hijikata
    Wh-What...
[03:02] Jigzaw
    I would like to introduce...
[03:04] Jigzaw
    ...my beloved dog, Kickzaw.
SIGN    [Note: Kickzaw is a play on Kikuzo, the name of popular comic storyteller, Kikuzo Hayashiya]
[03:07] Jigzaw
    Isn't he adorable?
[03:09] Jigzaw
    He has an odd habit.
[03:11] Jigzaw
    He always tends to pick up shiny objects when we go for a walk.
[03:15] Jigzaw
    Well, let's see what he picked up today.
[03:26] Hijikata
    N-N-N-N-Not good!
[03:30] Hijikata
    This is bad!
[03:31] Hijikata
    Very bad!
[03:32] Hijikata
    He's definitely going to take it!
[03:35] Hijikata
    This isn't the time to whine about details!
[03:36] Hijikata
    Getting backstabbed is no longer the problem!
[03:38] Hijikata
    If he takes it, it's over!
[03:40] Hijikata
    No more escape or preventing the station from blowing up!
[03:44] Okita
    Huh? Hijikata-san, you're sweating really hard.
[03:47] Okita
    Are you scared about the key being taken?
[03:51] Hijikata
    Huh? What?
[03:52] Hijikata
    No way. Not at all.
[03:54] Hijikata
    What are you talking about?
[03:55] Hijikata
    I said we didn't need it.
[03:57] Hijikata
    It's totally unnecessary.
[03:59] Okita
    That's right.
[04:01] Okita
    We don't need that traitor's tool.
[04:04] Hijikata
    Don't need it.
[04:05] Hijikata
    We'll break out of here with our own power.
[04:08] Okita
    Hijikata!
[04:10] Okita
    Move one step.
[04:12] Okita
    I'll instantly purge you as a traitor!
[04:14] Hijikata
    Sogo!
[04:16] Hijikata
    Do you understand the situation we're in?!
[04:18] Okita
    Hurry up!
[04:20] Okita
    Hurry up and betray me, Hijikata!
[04:22] Okita
    Please, I'll give you 300 yen.
[04:24] Hijikata
    Go, Sogo!
[04:26] Hijikata
    Don't be so stubborn!
[04:28] Hijikata
    Please betray me already!
[04:32] Hijikata
    K-Kickzaw!
[04:33] Hijikata
    Wait!
[04:33] Hijikata
    Sit! Stay!
[04:34] Hijikata
    Shake hands! Stay!
[04:36] Hijikata
    Stay! Stay!
[04:37] Hijikata
    Can't you hear what I'm saying?!
[04:38] Hijikata
    Want me to kill you, stupid dog?!
[04:42] Hijikata
    He stopped.
[04:45] Hijikata
    What a relief...
[04:47] Hijikata
    K-Kickzaw!
[05:04] Hijikata
    Safe...
[05:06] Hijikata
    D-Damn it!
[05:08] Okita
    Hijikata!
[05:10] Okita
    You've finally showed your true colors!
[05:12] Okita
    Sogo Okita, Captain of the 1st Division, shall purge you as a traitor!
[05:24] Hijikata
    I-It'd be dangerous if the dog swallowed it.
[05:27] Hijikata
    Okay, now it's safe.
[05:30] Okita
    Wh-What are you doing?!
SIGN    ["When breaking a Chuubert in half, the end with the knob should be better. It's also tasty to drink from there."]
[05:57] Okita
    W-Water...
[05:59] Okita
    Somebody give me water...
[06:01] Hijikata
    I-It's useless...
[06:03] Hijikata
    My body won't listen to me...
[06:06] Okita
    Hijikata-san, this is it.
[06:09] Okita
    We've spent two days beating on this pipe without any sleep.
[06:14] Okita
    It's been three days since we've had anything to eat...
[06:16] Okita
    Yet we haven't even found a single clue to aid our escape.
[06:20] Hijikata
    Stand up, Sogo...
[06:22] Hijikata
    The fate of the Shinsengumi rests on our shoulders...
[06:26] Hijikata
    Less than 24 hours left before the station will be blown up...
[06:31] Hijikata
    We have to hurry...
[06:32] Hijikata
    Hurry up and escape...
[06:42] Jigzaw
    Good day, Hijikata-kun, Okita-kun.
[06:44] Hijikata
    Hey!
[06:45] Hijikata
    Your mask is half off.
[06:47] Jigzaw
    You have less than a day left
[06:49] Jigzaw
    till the station explodes.
[06:52] Hijikata
    He's eating a Chuubert!
SIGN    [Note: Spoof of Japanese ice candy, Tupet.]
[06:53] Hijikata
    It's like he's tired of pretending to be a mysterious character!
[06:57] Jigzaw
    Oh?
[06:58] Jigzaw
    It appears that you two will collapse before the station does.
[07:04] Jigzaw
    Are you hungry?
[07:06] Jigzaw
    Do you want some water?
[07:08] Hijikata
    I'm pissed! He's pissing me off!
[07:10] Jigzaw
    Fools.
[07:12] Jigzaw
    I gave you a chance to escape and save the station,
[07:17] Jigzaw
    yet you threw it away...
[07:20] Jigzaw
    However, I have seen many people spout noble ideology under a thin mask,
[07:27] Jigzaw
    but you are the first ones with such a thick mask.
[07:33] Jigzaw
    However, in the end, you still won't have been able to escape.
[07:38] Jigzaw
    It may appear that you are acting in the best interests of your comrades,
[07:43] Jigzaw
    but in reality, you merely don't want to dirty your hands and will cause many of them to die.
[07:48] Jigzaw
    I wouldn't mind seeing you all perish together,
[07:53] Jigzaw
    but that wouldn't make for a fun game.
[07:56] Jigzaw
    I shall give you one last chance.
[08:00] Jigzaw
    Okay?
[08:01] Jigzaw
    If you lose this chance, there won't be any way to save you or the Shinsengumi.
[08:06] Jigzaw
    There are lockers on each side of you.
[08:08] Jigzaw
    Check the locker furthest in.
[08:12] Jigzaw
    I've placed another key item there for helping you escape.
[08:17] Jigzaw
    Now go.
[08:19] Jigzaw
    The time has come to shed those fake masks.
[08:22] Jigzaw
    Show me your true selves!
[08:25] Jigzaw
    The ugliness hidden behind those masks!
SIGN    [Note: Famitsu is a popular video game magazine in Japan.]
[08:31] Mom
    Hiro-kun, I bought your Famitsu!
[08:33] Hijikata
    Hey, your mom's back again, Hiro-kun.
[08:35] Jigzaw
    What? My mom? What are you talking about?
[08:38] Jigzaw
    I am Jigzaw, born from nothingness.
[08:41] Jigzaw
    I have no mother.
[08:43] Mom
    Hiro-kun, why is your door locked?
[08:46] Jigzaw
    Hey, be quiet!
[08:47] Jigzaw
    The neighbors are so loud.
[08:49] Hijikata
    No, you don't need to bother hiding it.
[08:51] Hijikata
    It's your mom, right?
[08:52] Hijikata
    We already saw her face so let us say hi.
[08:54] Jigzaw
    I said she's not my mom!
[08:56] Jigzaw
    Don't mess with me, damn it!
[08:57] Dad
    Honey, move out of the way!
[08:59] Dad
    Hiroshi!
[09:01] Dad
    I need to talk to you.
[09:02] Dad
    It seems that you were absent from school again today.
[09:04] Hijikata
    Your dad?!
[09:05] Hijikata
    Now your dad showed up!
[09:07] Jigzaw
    Stupid hag!
[09:08] Jigzaw
    Don't go spilling everything! And don't...
[09:12] Hijikata
    Hey!
[09:13] Hijikata
    There's nothing mysterious about that guy!
[09:16] Hijikata
    He reads Famitsu!
[09:17] Hijikata
    He only acts strong when he's talking to his mom!
[09:19] Hijikata
    He's the one who's letting his mask fall off!
[09:22] Hijikata
    Man, he's just some withdrawn brat...
[09:30] Okita
    Hijikata-san, look at this.
[09:34] Hijikata
    A fridge...?
[09:37] Hijikata
    Is this some kind of trap?
[09:39] Okita
    Let's open it up.
[09:40] Hijikata
    Hey, wait!
[09:41] Hijikata
    That guy's gotta be plotting something...
[09:43] Okita
    In that case, do you intend to just stand around doing nothing?
[09:51] Okita
    I'm opening it.
[09:57] Okita
    This is...!
[09:58] Hijikata
    What?
[09:59] Okita
    A Chuubert. Grape-flavored.
[10:01] Hijikata
    How is that supposed to help?!
[10:03] Okita
    He probably didn't want us to starve to death before the game ended.
[10:06] Hijikata
    Then give us something more substantial!
[10:09] Okita
    So, can I have the longer lower part?
[10:12] Hijikata
    Lower?
[10:13] Hijikata
    Lower is longer?
[10:14] Hijikata
    What are you talking about?
[10:15] Okita
    Lower, as in you know, the side you hold.
[10:19] Hijikata
    No, that's where you drink from not where you hold it.
[10:24] Okita
    You drink it from here.
[10:26] Okita
    Just break here...
[10:28] Hijikata
    Hah? You snip off this part and suck on it! That's what makes it a Chuubert!
[10:32] Hijikata
    It's a Chuubert cause you suck on it till there's only flavorless ice left.
[10:38] Hijikata
    Besides, if you eat it by breaking here, the other side will melt!
[10:44] Okita
    Chuuberts are usually broken in half and split.
[10:48] Okita
    I used to have big arguments with my sister about who would get which half.
[10:53] Hijikata
    Break it in half every time?
[10:56] Hijikata
    Then what are all the only children in the country supposed to do?
[10:58] Okita
    They can just get their hands all sticky.
[11:01] Hijikata
    Yeah, you just provoked every single only child in the country!
[11:04] Hijikata
    You definitely did, yeah.
[11:05] Okita
    That's fine.
[11:07] Okita
    I won't budge on this, even if it means making enemies around the world.
[11:10] Okita
    That is where you're supposed to hold it.
[11:13] Hijikata
    People don't always freeze them before they eat them, you know.
[11:15] Hijikata
    You have to consider when people just drink them as a cold liquid.
[11:18] Hijikata
    If you break here, that'll make a huge mess.
[11:21] Okita
    Do you have a fever or something?
[11:23] Okita
    Chuuberts are supposed to be frozen.
[11:26] Hijikata
    Wake up, Sogo.
[11:28] Hijikata
    This protruding edge is supposed to be cut.
[11:30] Okita
    I don't care what anyone says. That's where you hold it.
[11:33] Okita
    Or it wouldn't look like a nipple.
[11:36] Hijikata
    Hey, what did you just say?
[11:38] Okita
    Huh?
[11:39] Okita
    Nipple? You mean?
[11:41] Hijikata
    What are nipples meant for?
[11:45] Okita
    Ah.
[11:47] Hijikata
    Yes, that's right! So we have to change the title for this episode!
SIGN    ["When breaking a Chuubert in half, the end with the knob should be better. Normally, the knob part is used to drink the Chuubert."]
[11:56] Hijikata
    That's right!
[11:57] Hijikata
    Nipples are supposed to be sucked! Got it?
[12:00] Okita
    Then can I have the longer upper part?
[12:03] Okita
    The part with the nipple?
[12:09] Hijikata
    Let's use rock-paper-scissors to decide.
[12:22] Hijikata
    Say... He mentioned something about another item.
[12:26] Hijikata
    We've got a coping saw here.
[12:29] Hijikata
    Are we supposed to cut through the chain with this?
[12:31] Okita
    He was the one who said the chain wouldn't be easily cut through.
[12:37] Hijikata
    Can't cut through this...
[12:46] Hijikata
    It's no use.
[12:48] Hijikata
    A futile effort.
[12:50] Hijikata
    Besides, considering how much stamina we have left...
[12:52] Hijikata
    The chain's no good, the pipe's no good...
[12:55] Hijikata
    The only other thing to cut is...
[13:01] Hijikata
    Sogo?!
[13:02] Hijikata
    Get a grip! Hey!
[13:03] Okita
    I'm sorry, Hijikata-san.
[13:06] Okita
    Looks like I can't go on anymore.
[13:08] Hijikata
    Get a hold of yourself!
[13:09] Hijikata
    I'll give you a drink of this Chuubert!
[13:11] Hijikata
    Come on! Get a grip!
[13:12] Hijikata
    It's pretty much melted already.
[13:14] Hijikata
    What's wrong, Sogo?! Hurry up and drink!
[13:19] Okita
    I can't drink it.
[13:21] Okita
    You want to drink the big side, don't you?
[13:24] Hijikata
    You...
[13:26] Okita
    Hijikata-san, that's how you always are...
[13:31] Okita
    You compete with me and act tough like you want to kill me,
[13:36] Okita
    but deep down inside, you aren't bad enough.
[13:40] Okita
    When you see your opponent on the verge of death,
[13:42] Okita
    you don't hesitate to offer the longer side of the Chuubert.
[13:45] Okita
    If I were in your shoes,
[13:47] Okita
    I'd drink both sides myself.
[13:51] Okita
    If you aren't capable of that, you'll never beat me, Hijikata-san.
[13:57] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[13:59] Okita
    I always couldn't stand that side of you.
[14:04] Okita
    The guy who did things I couldn't understand.
[14:07] Okita
    The guy who wouldn't do what I wanted.
[14:10] Okita
    I've pestered you this whole time to drag you down.
[14:15] Okita
    But looking back now, I don't think I actually hated you.
[14:22] Okita
    I was probably just jealous...
[14:28] Okita
    ...jealous of the guy who could easily do the things I couldn't.
[14:32] Okita
    ...of the guy who possessed what I didn't.
[14:37] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[14:39] Okita
    Sorry about causing you so much trouble...
[14:45] Hijikata
    Wh-What are you saying, Sogo?
[14:47] Hijikata
    When... When did you start talking like that to me?
[14:50] Hijikata
    This isn't like you.
[14:52] Hijikata
    You're not cut out for this stuff.
[14:56] Okita
    I feel the same way.
[14:58] Okita
    But I have to tell you now...
[15:01] Okita
    It feels like I won't get another chance.
[15:03] Hijikata
    S-Stupid!
[15:05] Hijikata
    Don't get all weak on me!
[15:07] Hijikata
    Don't act so pathetic just because you've missed a few meals!
[15:10] Hijikata
    Get a grip!
[15:12] Hijikata
    You're not going to die from this!
[15:14] Hijikata
    If you're hungry, I'll let you drink as much of this Chuubert as you want!
[15:17] Hijikata
    Come on!
[15:18] Hijikata
    Have my share, too!
[15:20] Okita
    Hijikata-san.
[15:22] Okita
    Don't you understand?
[15:24] Okita
    At least for this one last time, I don't want to get in your way...
[15:31] Okita
    I don't need this anymore.
[15:34] Okita
    What I need is over there.
[15:38] Okita
    You've probably realized what the coping saw is for.
[15:44] Okita
    It's not for cutting the chain or the pipe.
[15:50] Okita
    It's to cut off one of our heads.
[15:56] Okita
    Even if we can't remove the shackles,
[15:58] Okita
    if we cut off one person's head, we can slide the chain off the pipe.
[16:04] Okita
    He's intent on making us kill one another.
[16:10] Hijikata
    Shut up.
[16:12] Hijikata
    Just drink the Chuubert.
[16:14] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[16:16] Okita
    Under normal circumstances, I would have jumped and beheaded you right off the bat.
[16:21] Okita
    But unfortunately, I don't have enough strength left to do that...
[16:26] Okita
    Even if I did, I still wouldn't be able to make it to the station...
[16:33] Hijikata
    I told you to shut up.
[16:34] Hijikata
    Hurry up and drink this.
[16:35] Okita
    Hijikata-san, we're out of time.
[16:39] Okita
    It's the only way out of this place.
[16:43] Hijikata
    Shut up...
[16:45] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[16:46] Okita
    It hurts me to say this, but you're the only one left who can save the Shinsengumi.
[16:52] Hijikata
    Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up?!
[16:55] Hijikata
    This is an order from the Vice-Chief.
[16:57] Hijikata
    I won't let that happen.
[17:00] Hijikata
    I won't let you die for that stupid bastard.
[17:04] Hijikata
    I won't let you or anyone at the station die!
[17:10] Hijikata
    You're going to leave this place with me alive!
[17:13] Hijikata
    Don't give up.
[17:15] Hijikata
    There has to be a way.
[17:16] Hijikata
    A way for both of us to escape this place.
[17:19] Hijikata
    Hold on.
[17:20] Hijikata
    There might be something else we can use.
[17:21] Hijikata
    I'll find a way out of here without fail!
[17:31] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[17:33] Okita
    It ended up being like Jigzaw said.
[17:37] Okita
    I had to remove my mask at the very end.
[17:41] Okita
    I showed you a side of myself I never wanted you to see.
[17:48] Okita
    Please forget everything I just said.
[17:55] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[17:58] Okita
    Please take care of the Shinsengumi...
[18:21] Jigzaw
    I am amazed, Hijikata-kun, Okita-kun.
[18:24] Jigzaw
    I didn't expect your bond to be so strong.
[18:29] Jigzaw
    The purpose of the game was
[18:31] Jigzaw
    to convince fellow comrades to kill one another for the sake of saving the rest of your comrades,
[18:35] Jigzaw
    but I didn't expect him to choose his own death to save you.
[18:40] Jigzaw
    Your bond is truly strong.
[18:42] Jigzaw
    Or perhaps I should say his bond for you was strong.
[18:47] Jigzaw
    Aren't you relieved inside, Hijikata-kun?
[18:51] Jigzaw
    Thinking, "Now I'm saved."
[18:54] Jigzaw
    He didn't only save your life.
[18:58] Jigzaw
    By killing himself, he prevented you from getting your hands dirty.
[19:03] Jigzaw
    He must have known that you are a coward.
[19:07] Jigzaw
    He died so a coward like you would be able to take his head.
[19:13] Jigzaw
    You are obligated to carry through with this.
[19:16] Jigzaw
    Now, cut off your friend's head.
[19:19] Jigzaw
    Put on the mask of deceit and live for your friend's sake.
[19:39] Jigzaw
    What are you doing, Hijikata-kun?
[19:42] Hijikata
    That should be obvious.
[19:44] Hijikata
    I'm heading off to sever a head.
[19:47] Jigzaw
    His head is on your shoulder.
[19:51] Hijikata
    This isn't the head I'm after.
[19:54] Hijikata
    The one I want to cut off
[19:56] Hijikata
    is the one wearing that filthy mask!
[20:05] Jigzaw
    It's futile, Hijikata-kun.
[20:07] Jigzaw
    You can't escape from that place on your own.
[20:09] Jigzaw
    You should know that after being chained...
[20:14] Jigzaw
    What?! I-Impossible!
[20:16] Jigzaw
    There's a crack in the pipe!
[20:17] Jigzaw
    Are you saying that the pipe couldn't bear the extensive beating which was believed to be futile?!
[20:32] Jigzaw
    I-I-Impossible!
[20:34] Jigzaw
    He escaped on his own power!
[20:44] Hijikata
    He still has a slight pulse.
[20:46] Hijikata
    I won't let you die...
[20:47] Hijikata
    I'm not going to let anyone die!
[20:51] Hijikata
    Sogo, I'm going to save...
[20:57] Hijikata
    C-Crap!
[21:03] Hijikata
    A-At this rate...
[21:11] Hijikata
    At this rate, the chain will bring Sogo down, too.
[21:16] Hijikata
    I have to...
[21:18] Hijikata
    I have to do something about the chain!
[21:33] Okita
    Hijikata-san, good work.
[21:35] Okita
    It was fun.
[21:37] Okita
    Come play with me again?
[21:52] Okita
    Man, I'm all sticky cause of the Chuubert.
[21:55] Okita
    I feel sick.
[21:55] Jigzaw
    Ah, the blood was from the Chuubert.
[21:58] Okita
    Yeah, good work.
[22:00] Okita
    You did a great job.
[22:01] Jigzaw
    What are you talking about?
[22:03] Jigzaw
    You put on a convincing act yourself.
[22:06] Jigzaw
    You were even acting when you talked to yourself.
[22:09] Jigzaw
    Like you didn't know me at all.
[22:12] Okita
    Yeah, you have to totally become the part for these things.
[22:16] Okita
    Have to deceive even the audience.
[22:18] Jigzaw
    I see.
[22:20] Jigzaw
    I thought you just weren't planning ahead.
[22:23] Jigzaw
    I'm impressed!
[22:25] Jigzaw
    Then, when you decide on the next target, let me know.
[22:29] Jigzaw
    For sure, okay?
[22:30] Okita
    Yeah, next time.
[22:32] Okita
    I was considering this guy with curly silver hair.
[22:35] Okita
    He should provide plenty of fun.
[22:37] Jigzaw
    Well, I can't wait.
[22:40] Jigzaw
    Good work then!
