[00:02] Okita
    There are these things known
    as death flags in our world.
[00:05] Okita
    A spoken line or situation
    which foreshadows death.
[00:09] Okita
    "Could you feed the goldfish for me?"
[00:13] Okita
    would apply.
[00:15] Okita
    Once the flag is set,
[00:17] Okita
    the man will soon challenge the bad
    guys to a final battle and lose his life.
[00:22] Okita
    The woman will feed his goldfish in tears.
[00:26] Okita
    This example is easy to understand,
    but there are other situations.
[00:30] Okita
    A bad guy who becomes a good
    guy is also at high risk.
[00:36] Okita
    A man who regrets everything wrong he's done
    and vows to live an honest life from now on.
[00:43] Okita
    On his way home from work, he stops
    at a cake store of all places.
[00:48] Okita
    "Oops, I forgot to ask them to
    top it off with mayonnaise."
[00:54] Okita
    That's when death is really near by.
[01:08] Kirie
    Captain of the Shinsengumi First Division...
    Sogo Okita.
[01:14] Kirie
    I have avenged my father's death.
[01:19] Okita
    He cannot bring himself
    to ask who that was...
[01:25] Okita
    For the man has hurt too many
    people in his lifetime.
[01:31] Okita
    He may try to change, but those
    sins will never go away.
[01:36] Okita
    It was selfish to seek happiness for himself.
[01:41] Okita
    The man had a mocking smile on his face
    as he quietly toppled towards the ground.
[01:48] Okita
    And then...
[01:51] Okita
    The man locked his legs around the girl's
    neck and smashed her into the ground.
[02:02] Okita
    As luck may have it,
    the man didn't die.
[02:05] Okita
    Hey, how are you gonna
    make up for this?
[02:08] Okita
    The cake's a mess now.
[02:11] Okita
    And I just loaded it up with tabasco
    sauce for those morons to chow on.
[02:16] Okita
    That's because...
[02:18] Okita
    I was a good guy to begin with.
SIGN    
[03:58] Okita
    There you have it.
[03:59] Okita
    Could you sell her off to some illegal
    red light district institution?
[04:04] Okita
    She's just a kid, but some
    freaks pay a lot for that.
[04:07] Gin
    Don't make it sound like
    I'm a slave trader.
[04:09] Okita
    Huh? Aren't you a slave trader?
[04:12] Okita
    You've got this little girl, an illegal immigrant,
    working for you without pay.
[04:16] Kagura
    Who are you calling a slave?!
[04:17] Kagura
    Want me to kill you, brat?!
[04:19] Gin
    Don't bring trouble to me.
[04:22] Gin
    You guys can deal with this little girl.
[04:24] Gin
    Such a pain...
[04:25] Okita
    There would be no end if we dealt
    with every two-bit criminal around.
[04:28] Okita
    We're busy, unlike you people.
[04:31] Kirie
    Pretty big-headed for a
    bunch of murderers.
[04:34] Kirie
    You go off killing innocent people
    along with terrorists.
[04:36] Kirie
    No wonder you would be so busy.
[04:40] Shin
    Kirie-san, was it?
[04:42] Shin
    Did your father belong to an
    Anti-Foreigner Faction?
[04:49] Kirie
    Are you implying that I'm mistaken?
[04:53] Kirie
    My father was an innocent,
    ordinary citizen.
[04:57] Okita
    This man and his colleagues work to protect
    ordinary citizens from terrorists.
[05:01] Okita
    They wouldn't-
[05:01] Kirie
    He was caught up in a fight.
[05:04] Kirie
    The Anti-Foreigner Faction and the Shinsengumi
    were engaged in a chaotic brawl...
[05:09] Kirie
    My father was caught in the melee
    and cut down by this man.
[05:19] Gin
    So she says, Okita-kun.
[05:21] Okita
    I don't know anything about that.
[05:23] Kirie
    Don't play dumb!
[05:23] Kirie
    Don't tell me that you've forgotten
    my father, Muneharu Rokkaku!
[05:28] Okita
    I can't put up with this.
[05:29] Okita
    If I tried to remember the face of
    every person I've ever cut down,
[05:32] Okita
    I wouldn't be here now.
[05:34] Okita
    If I let myself worry about that,
    I'd be the one cut down.
[05:38] Okita
    On the battlefield, a moment's hesitation
    can cost you your life.
[05:43] Okita
    Whoever dispatches the people
    before him quickest will survive.
[05:47] Okita
    It's more or less impossible
[05:49] Okita
    to distinguish between commoners
    and terrorists on that field.
[05:53] Gin
    So you don't remember anything,
[05:55] Gin
    and you don't plan on denying you did it?
[05:58] Okita
    All I have to say, whether or not I did it,
[06:03] Okita
    is that it was her old man's fault for
    dawdling around in that place.
[06:09] Kirie
    You son of a bitch!
[06:11] Shin
    Kirie-san, please calm down!
[06:11] Kirie
    You did it!
[06:13] Kirie
    You killed my father!!
[06:16] Kirie
    I'll kill you!
[06:18] Kirie
    I swear I'll kill you!!
[06:21] Okita
    A pity.
[06:23] Okita
    If you weren't a girl,
    we'd recruit one with such spirit.
[06:27] Okita
    But no more of your revenge games.
[06:32] Okita
    The next time you step into my realm,
[06:36] Okita
    I'll slaughter you without hesitation.
[06:42] Okita
    Well, boss, I'll leave the money here.
[06:44] Okita
    And this is a little smashed,
    but you can eat it.
[06:47] Kirie
    Wait! You won't get away!
[06:49] Kirie
    I'll never let you get away with this!
[06:51] Shin
    Kirie-san, calm down!
[06:53] Kirie
    Let me go!
[06:53] Kirie
    I'll kill you!
[06:55] Kirie
    I swear I'll avenge my father!
[07:01] Shin
    Kirie-san...
[07:04] Shin
    Gin-san, Kagura-chan.
[07:06] Shin
    What do we do?
[07:10] Kagura
    A mere girl trying to avenge
    her father alone...
[07:13] Kagura
    Brings tears to my eyes...
[07:15] Shin
    Kagura-chan...
[07:17] Kagura
    I understand.
[07:18] Kagura
    I'll give you a hand.
[07:21] Shin
    Huh? What?
[07:22] Kagura
    I said I'll help you kill that son of a bitch!
[07:29] Kagura
    There's no doubt about it!
[07:31] Kagura
    He's the one who did it!
[07:32] Kagura
    Water!
[07:34] Kagura
    Shinpachi! Water!
[07:35] Shin
    Wait!
[07:35] Kagura
    I'll kill him!
[07:36] Shin
    Wait, Kagura-chan!
[07:36] Kagura
    I swear I'll kill that son of a bitch!
[07:37] Shin
    Kagura-chan!
SIGN    
[07:41] Katsura
    The Rokkaku incident.
[07:43] Katsura
    A melee between the
    Anti-Foreigner Faction radicals named the Sokai Faction
[07:48] Katsura
    and the Shinsengumi which happened
    at Rokkaku Inn two years ago.
[07:52] Katsura
    The Sokai Factions's plan
    to simultaneously set fires
[07:55] Katsura
    all around Edo as a distraction for
    the assassination of the Shogun.
SIGN    ["I have a part!"]
[08:00] Katsura
    The Shinsengumi learned of
    the plan at the last second
[08:04] Katsura
    and assaulted Rokkaku Inn
    where they were hiding.
[08:07] Katsura
    It resulted in thirty-six catastrophic deaths
    between the Shinsengumi and Sokai Factions.
[08:13] Shin
    Thirty-six?!
[08:14] Katsura
    The Sokai Factions were
    eradicated in this incident,
[08:17] Katsura
    while the Shinsengumi only
    suffered three deaths.
[08:21] Katsura
    Despite the fact that they only had time to
    send f-f-f-five members from the First Division.
[08:29] Katsura
    You could say that Sogo Okita,
    Captain of the First Division,
[08:31] Katsura
    carried out most of the killing at Rokkaku.
[08:36] Shin
    He destroyed an entire Anti-Foreigner
    Faction unit by himself?
[08:40] Gin
    Scary kid.
[08:42] Katsura
    But even if he is the strongest
    of the Shinsengumi,
[08:46] Katsura
    he couldn't have made it through
    the ordeal unscathed.
[08:48] ---
    Kabuki Doggy! Kabuki Doggy!
[08:49] Katsura
    With those extreme circumstances,
    the extreme tension,
[08:52] Katsura
    I wouldn't be surprised if he accidentally cut
    down the owner of Rokkaku Inn, Muneharu.
[08:57] Katsura
    It's Katsura, not Kabuki Doggy!
[09:06] Shin
    Katsura-san...
[09:07] Shin
    You agree with Kagura-chan
    that Okita-san did it?
[09:11] Katsura
    No idea.
[09:12] Katsura
    I'm merely saying that it's possible.
[09:15] Gin
    Zura, what happened to the
    Rokkaku Inn afterwards?
[09:18] Katsura
    For a while, Muneharu's wife
    and daughter kept it going,
[09:23] Katsura
    but nobody wanted to stay at
    the inn after such an incident.
[09:27] Katsura
    It went out of business a year ago.
[09:29] Katsura
    His wife passed away soon after,
    perhaps from the exhaustion.
[09:33] Kirie
    As you can see, I have nothing left.
[09:39] Kirie
    Father...
[09:40] Kirie
    Sincerity?
[09:42] Dad
    Yes, sincerity.
[09:44] Dad
    The most important thing
    for an innkeeper.
[09:48] Dad
    Always remember to serve customers
    with a sincere heart and devotion.
[09:54] Dad
    But I have something more important.
[09:58] Dad
    Mother and you.
[10:03] Rokkaku
    For the two of you, I would do anything...
[10:07] Kirie
    Father was always so kind.
[10:10] Kirie
    He cared deeply for Mother and me.
[10:13] Kirie
    But Father and Mother are gone now.
[10:17] Kirie
    I have no home to return to.
[10:20] Kirie
    He took everything from me.
[10:23] Kirie
    And yet...!
[10:24] Kirie
    How can he say he doesn't
    remember anything?!
[10:27] Kirie
    I will never forgive that man!
[10:34] Shin
    Gin-san, I can understand why
    Kirie-san wants revenge.
[10:40] Shin
    But I can't blame Okita-san either.
[10:44] Shin
    That was just an unfortunate accident.
[10:47] Shin
    An unfortunate accident that happened
    as he was trying to protect Edo.
[10:52] Shin
    It's not that Okita-san
    doesn't remember...
[10:54] Shin
    Maybe he just wants to forget?
[10:57] Shin
    There's no point in digging up
    the past now for revenge.
[11:00] Shin
    Kirie-san will end up suffering more.
[11:03] Shin
    We have to stop her.
[11:04] Gin
    You don't need to worry.
[11:06] Gin
    Kagura's with her.
[11:08] Shin
    That's why I'm worried!
[11:10] Gin
    It's fine.
[11:11] Gin
    The guy knows.
[11:13] Gin
    I can tell after all our run-ins.
[11:17] Gin
    Don't you find it odd?
[11:19] Gin
    He's the kind of guy
    who doesn't hesitate
[11:21] Gin
    to cut down women and children
    if they're after his life.
[11:26] Gin
    Yet he didn't even try to catch her,
    much less kill her,
[11:30] Gin
    and left her with us
    along with money.
[11:33] Gin
    He remembers.
[11:35] Gin
    He doesn't want to forget.
[11:38] Gin
    He probably just...
SIGN    [Rokkaku Incident]
[11:49] Kami
    Greetings, Captain Okita!
[11:52] Kami
    Studying in the reference room
    after returning from patrol.
[11:55] Kami
    I would expect no less from the captain!
[11:57] Kami
    Skilled in both literary and military arts!
[11:58] Kami
    The ideal samurai!
[12:00] Kami
    I will follow you forever!
[12:02] Okita
    No need.
[12:03] Okita
    You're annoying, so make
    a U-turn and leave.
[12:05] Okita
    And you never need to come back.
[12:07] Kami
    Is that the case file regarding
    the Rokkaku incident?
[12:09] Kami
    That was a while ago.
[12:12] Kami
    I'm surprised.
[12:13] Kami
    I believed the captain to be someone
    who doesn't dwell on the past.
[12:17] Okita
    Sometimes, it's necessary to look back at
    the past in order to move on to the future.
[12:21] Okita
    Keep that in mind.
[12:22] Kami
    Yes, sir!
[12:23] Kami
    I'll write it down!
[12:24] Okita
    If you understand, make a U-turn
    and look back at the past.
[12:27] Okita
    And you never need to come
    back from the past.
[12:29] Kami
    Yes, sir!
[12:30] Kami
    I'll write it down!
[12:31] Okita
    I'm telling you to leave, not take notes.
[12:33] Kami
    But the Rokkaku incident
    brings back memories.
[12:36] Okita
    Hey, you listening?
[12:37] Kami
    In fact, I must admit that was
    when you captured my heart.
[12:41] Okita
    Don't admit that.
[12:42] Okita
    Go get spirited away.
[12:45] Okita
    Please, God.
[12:46] Kami
    That was a violent bunch of
    Anti-Foreigner Faction men.
[12:50] Kami
    One by one, our comrades
    were cut down.
[12:52] Kami
    Only the captain and I were left.
[12:55] Kami
    Each watching the other's
    back, guarding it.
[12:57] Kami
    After surviving that furious battle,
[12:59] Kami
    I was able to recognize that my
    fate was tied to the captain's!
[13:05] Okita
    You didn't do a thing.
[13:07] Okita
    I'd rather let a locker watch my back than you.
[13:10] Kami
    But why are you researching
    the Rokkaku incident now?
[13:16] Okita
    I was stabbed by that thing.
[13:18] ---
    Huh?
[13:18] Okita
    The daughter from Rokkaku Inn said
    she was avenging her father.
[13:22] Kami
    Stabbed?!
[13:24] Kami
    Are you okay?!
[13:26] Kami
    Where were you stabbed?!
[13:29] Kami
    The ass?!
[13:30] Kami
    Anal?!
[13:31] Kami
    The anus?!
[13:32] Kami
    Or was it the asshole?!
[13:34] Okita
    Those are all the same thing.
[13:36] Okita
    Now look here.
[13:37] Okita
    Cut it out or I'll really stab you.
[13:39] Kami
    Please stab me!
[13:40] Kami
    My dream is to die at
    your hands, sir!
[13:44] Kami
    We told the survivors
    of Rokkaku Inn
[13:46] Kami
    that Muneharu died at the hands
    of the Anti-Foreigner Faction.
[13:50] Kami
    So why now...?
[13:52] Kami
    It wasn't Captain Okita's fault
    that Muneharu Rokkaku died!
[13:55] Kami
    That was...
[13:56] Okita
    Forget it.
[13:57] Okita
    That isn't the problem here.
[13:59] Kami
    Forget it?
[14:00] Kami
    Don't tell me that you allowed
    the girl to walk free?!
[14:04] Okita
    I'm saying that a girl or two won't
    be able to give me any trouble.
[14:08] Kami
    But, Captain...!
[14:12] Kami
    Are you upset about letting
    her father die...?
[14:17] Kami
    In that case...!
[14:18] Okita
    That isn't it.
[14:20] Kami
    Then why?!
[14:21] Kami
    I can't bear this!
[14:23] Kami
    I shall prove your innocence!
[14:26] Okita
    I'm not innocent.
[14:27] Okita
    You should be well aware of that.
[14:30] Kami
    You didn't do anything wrong!
[14:33] Kami
    I shall go tell her the truth!
[14:35] Kami
    I can't hold it in any longer!
[14:37] Okita
    Didn't you hear me tell you to forget it?
[14:41] Okita
    We were the only survivors.
[14:44] Okita
    If we keep quiet, there won't
    be any further trouble.
[14:49] Kami
    But as things stand, you'll
    be called a murderer...!
[14:52] Okita
    I'll become a murderer
    if that's what it takes,
[14:56] Okita
    if you don't stop that loose
    tongue of yours.
[15:02] Okita
    The real question is...
[15:03] Okita
    Yes, how did the girl find
    out and come after me?
[15:10] Okita
    Someone is trying to kill me through
    that girl by using that incident.
[15:15] Kami
    That's why you're reading the case file?
[15:17] Okita
    Look at that short sword.
[15:20] Okita
    A good blade that's been well-used.
[15:22] Okita
    But why would the daughter
    of an ordinary citizen
[15:25] Okita
    be carrying such a thing when
    swords have been banned.
[15:29] Okita
    There are still people who
    need to be silenced.
[15:33] Okita
    We might not have been the
    only survivors at Rokkaku.
[15:40] Okita
    Kamiyama, go see what
    you can sniff out.
[15:43] Okita
    And wipe that bloody ass, too.
[15:46] Kami
    Y-Yes, sir!
[15:51] Hijikata
    Sogo is sneaking around?
[15:54] Yamazaki
    Yes, he's behaving suspiciously.
[15:58] Yamazaki
    Talking about being stabbed
    by someone.
[16:00] Yamazaki
    "Stab me."
[16:01] Yamazaki
    "Go wipe your ass."
[16:03] Yamazaki
    He was whispering about something
    with Kamiyama.
[16:07] Hijikata
    Yamazaki...
[16:09] Hijikata
    Even if you're keeping an eye on him,
[16:11] Hijikata
    private information like, uh,
    sexual preferences...
[16:16] Hijikata
    should stay off-limits, I would say.
[16:21] Yamazaki
    Vice-chief?
[16:22] Hijikata
    I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.
[16:25] Hijikata
    This information doesn't leave the room.
[16:27] Yamazaki
    Vice-chief, you're mistaken.
[16:31] Yamazaki
    It seems that someone's
    after Captain Okita's life.
[16:36] Yamazaki
    Do you remember the Rokkaku incident?
[16:39] Hijikata
    Wasn't that business
    dealt with long ago?
[16:41] Yamazaki
    Yes...
[16:42] Yamazaki
    But, Captain Okita was
    reading this case file.
[16:48] Yamazaki
    I believe there's a connection.
[16:51] Yamazaki
    Those two were the only survivors
    from the incident.
[16:55] Yamazaki
    And there were oddities in the report.
[16:58] Yamazaki
    The two of them might
    be hiding something.
SIGN    [Rokkaku Incident]
[17:05] Hijikata
    The Rokkaku incident, huh?
[17:18] Okita
    You're not that girl, are you?
[17:21] Okita
    So you were the one
    who set her after me.
[17:25] Okita
    Man, do you all hate me so much?
[17:29] Kagura
    Yeah, I hate you!
[17:31] Kagura
    How dare you mix in Tabasco
    sauce, damn brat?!
[17:34] Okita
    It's you?!
[17:35] Okita
    What are you doing?
[17:38] Kagura
    Doing odd jobs doesn't make any money,
    so I quit and became a hitman.
[17:42] Kagura
    Raise your hands.
[17:43] Kagura
    Any funny moves and I'll
    pop you in the kisser.
[17:46] Okita
    You're the one who's funny in the head.
[17:48] Okita
    Pop yourself in the kisser.
[17:50] Okita
    You might become able
    to think straight, then.
[17:53] Kagura
    Don't give me lip, damn it.
    Show some respect.
[17:57] Kagura
    Do you understand the situation
    you're in, huh?
[17:59] Kagura
    Want me to spell it out for you?
[18:02] Kagura
    All nice and slow so an idiot
    like you can understand?
[18:07] Okita
    Could you please leave?
[18:10] Okita
    I don't have time to deal
    with someone like you.
[18:13] Kagura
    So you do have manners.
[18:15] Kagura
    All right, I'll reward you with a Happy Term.
SIGN    [Note: From "Happy Turn", a Japanese rice cracker.]
[18:18] Kagura
    A Happy Term that's all swollen
[18:20] Kagura
    after the salt was licked off
    and became an Unhappy Term.
[18:24] Okita
    I want to kill you.
[18:25] Okita
    God, I don't care if I die.
[18:28] Okita
    So please kill this damn bitch in return.
[18:32] Okita
    So? Where's the kid?
[18:34] Okita
    You probably came to kill me together.
[18:40] Kagura
    Killing you will only make
    Kirie's hands dirty.
[18:45] Okita
    Then why are you here?
[18:47] Okita
    Are you going to be my bodyguard?
[18:51] Kagura
    Tell me the truth.
[18:52] Kagura
    It's obvious that you're hiding something.
[18:56] Kagura
    I know that you're too skilled to
    mistake an ally for an enemy.
[19:02] Kagura
    What are you trying to hide by
    pretending to be a murderer?
[19:08] Kagura
    Tell Kirie to her face.
[19:11] Kagura
    If you refuse, I'll punch a hole
    in your face for Kirie.
[19:17] Okita
    I am too good to mistake
    an ally for an enemy...
[19:22] Okita
    That's true.
[19:25] Okita
    But...
[19:27] Okita
    What if someone you thought
    to be an ally was an enemy?
[19:35] ---
    Some things in this world aren't
    meant to be known, little girl.
[19:41] Okita
    Besides, you shouldn't go off talking
    out of character like that.
[19:48] Okita
    See? You've triggered my death flag.
[19:57] Kagura
    Kirie?!
[20:10] Kami
    Who is it?
[20:11] Gin
    Don't raise your voice,
[20:13] Gin
    or the secret investigation you're hiding
    from your comrades will be for nothing.
[20:18] Gin
    Rokkaku survivor, Kamiyama-san.
[20:22] Kami
    Wh-Who are you?
[20:24] Gin
    Could you answer a few
    questions for me?
[20:27] Gin
    What's that bastard hiding?
[20:31] Gin
    What did you do during
    the Rokkaku incident?
[20:41] Okita
    All these people gathered on
    such a nice day for revenge?
[20:45] Okita
    You've got spirit.
[20:47] Okita
    Like you're ready to raid Kira's mansion.
SIGN    [Note: A reference to the Japanese fiction tale "Chusingura".]
[20:51] Okita
    They must have loved your old man.
[20:55] Okita
    Or they must really hate me.
[21:01] Kagura
    Kirie!
[21:03] Tendo
    Don't move.
[21:05] Tendo
    If you don't want to take the daughter's
    life after taking the father's.
[21:10] Tendo
    Right, Mr. Sogo Okita the murderer?
[21:29] Okita
    Kamiyama, listen to me.
[21:32] Okita
    Forget everything you just saw.
[21:37] Okita
    Rokkaku was already dead
    when we found him here.
[21:43] Okita
    He was caught up in the battle and
    killed by the Anti-Foreigner Faction.
[21:58] Tendo
    After concealing evidence
    and changing the facts,
[22:02] Tendo
    it was foolish of you to allow
    a survivor to escape.
[22:10] Tendo
    The Sokai Factions weren't wiped out.
[22:12] Tendo
    It was revived to get revenge...
[22:15] Tendo
    No, to crush you all.
[22:20] Kagura
    I've gotten caught up in your trouble.
[22:23] Kagura
    How you gonna make up for this?
[22:24] Okita
    Serves you right.
[22:25] Okita
    That's what you get, damn girl.

    I won't be able to bear
    watching you tied up,
[24:09] Kami
    abused, stabbed, and
    suffering next week!
[24:13] Kami
    I can't sit idly by anymore!
[24:15] Okita
    Please shut up.

    Yes, sir!
