Would you like some flowers?
***SIGN*** March, Genji Year 1 (1864)
**[00:05] hawker; background**
Will you buy some flowers?
**[00:10] hawker; background**
Won't you buy some flowers?
**[00:11] Chizuru**
Excuse me!
**[00:13] Chizuru**
I was hoping to ask a question...
**[00:16] Chizuru**
A man in his 40s, with a shaved head,
like a monk, and an Edo accent...
**[00:20] Chizuru**
He's a doctor who practices
Western medicine...
**[00:22] man**
I'm sorry, I don't know him.
***SIGN*** Yukimura Chizuru
**[00:34] ronin 1**
Hand it over.
**[00:36] ronin 1**
We'll use it for the sake of the country.
**[01:06] patrol**
Who goes there?
**[02:27] Okita**
Dear, dear.
**[02:29] Okita**
It's only at times like these
that you work quickly.
**[02:52] Hijikata**
Don't run.
**[02:54] Hijikata**
Turn your back on me and I'll cut you down.
**[03:16] Okita**
This person saw everything, you know?
**[03:19] Hijikata**
We will deal with that one...
**[03:25] Hijikata**
after we get back.

**[04:03] (Flashback) Kodo**
Chizuru.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Kodo**
I must once again travel to
the capital, Kyoto, for a while.
**[04:09] (Flashback) Chizuru**
For work? How long is "a while"?
**[04:18] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I see.
**[04:19] Kodo**
Don't worry.
***SIGN*** Yukimura Kodo
**[04:21] Kodo**
You are far stronger than you think you are.
**[04:37] Inoue**
Hey, wake up!
**[04:44] Inoue**
Come with me.
***SIGN*** Saito Hajime
***SIGN*** Okita Soji
***SIGN*** Hijikata Toshizo
***SIGN*** Kondo Isami
**[05:23] Hijikata**
We've checked your belongings.
**[05:25] Hijikata**
What are your intentions here...
Yukimura Chizuru?
**[05:29] Nagakura**
Y-Yukimura?
***SIGN*** Nagakura Shinpachi
***SIGN*** Harada Sanosuke
**[05:31] Harada**
Is that Kodo-san's...
**[05:33] Chizuru**
Do you know my father?
**[05:35] Chizuru**
I'm looking for him.
**[05:37] Chizuru**
If you know something, then—
**[05:39] Hijikata**
How much do you know?
**[05:43] Chizuru**
How much?
**[05:45] Hijikata**
You came here because you know
what Yukimura Kodo has done, right?
**[05:49] Chizuru**
My father was supposed to have come
to the capital for work!
**[05:53] Chizuru**
But... this summer, his letters
suddenly stopped coming.
**[05:57] Chizuru**
So I've come from Edo to...
**[05:59] Sannan**
Is the poorly executed male disguise
***SIGN*** Sannan Keisuke
**[06:00] Sannan**
because of the current
lawless state of the capital?
***SIGN*** Todo Heisuke
**[06:06] Toudou**
A woman?
**[06:07] Nagakura**
She's a woman?
**[06:12] Chizuru**
After I came here,
**[06:14] Chizuru**
I called upon an acquaintance of my father's,
Doctor Matsumoto Ryojun,
**[06:19] Chizuru**
but he was away.
**[06:20] Chizuru**
I've been going around asking after
my father's whereabouts, but...
**[06:25] Chizuru**
in the end, I ran afoul of some ronin.
**[06:29] Sannan**
She may truly know nothing of it.
**[06:35] Chizuru**
All of you and my father are...
**[06:39] Saito**
How shall we deal with her?
***SIGN*** Inoue Genzaburo
**[06:48] Toudou**
It's not like she found out the reason
they've gone crazy for blood, right?
**[06:51] Toudou**
In that case...
**[06:53] Chizuru**
The reason?
**[06:54] Okita**
Dear, dear.
**[06:56] Okita**
Things are even more complicated now.
**[06:58] Chizuru**
Please, wait!
**[07:01] Chizuru**
What has happened to my father?
**[07:13] Hijikata**
Hey. Take her...
**[07:19] Hijikata**
and put her back in that room.
**[07:22] Okita**
Huh? You're not going to kill her?
**[07:25] Kondou**
Soji.
**[07:26] Okita**
I'm joking.
**[07:28] Hijikata**
Heisuke, take her to her room
and keep watch over her.
**[07:33] Hijikata**
Kondo-san.
**[07:35] Kondou**
Yes.
**[07:42] Toudou**
Wait!
**[07:44] Toudou**
Would it be all right if I untied her?
**[07:49] Hijikata**
If she shows the slightest sign
of trying to escape, kill her.
**[07:59] Toudou**
It's so tight! Soji...
**[08:02] Toudou**
This is tied way too tight.

Yukimura Kodo
**[08:14] Hijikata**
She ended up clearly seeing
a blood-crazed rasetsu.
***SIGN*** Extramural Research

Yukimura Kodo
**[08:19] Kondou**
She's Kodo-san's family.
**[08:22] Hijikata**
That same Kodo-san
disappeared from our sight,
**[08:24] Hijikata**
and soon after, his relative appeared.
**[08:28] Hijikata**
Don't you think it's a little too much
to be a simple coincidence?
**[08:32] Kondou**
Do you suppose...
**[08:34] Kondou**
Kodo-san was not kidnapped,
but left of his own volition?
***SIGN*** Extramural Research
Information on the Water of Life
Yukimura Kodo
**[08:39] Hijikata**
Kodo-san has betrayed us
and hidden himself.
**[08:43] Hijikata**
And to sound out our movements,
he's sent her as a spy...
**[08:46] Kondou**
When you consider the value of the rasetsu,
**[08:50] Kondou**
it looked like he had been kidnapped.
**[08:52] Okita**
She doesn't seem like
that kind of girl to me, though.
**[08:59] Hijikata**
Soji. Go wait in the reception room.
**[09:02] Okita**
It seems someone wants to have a word...
**[09:32] Hijikata**
Be killed, or...
**[09:37] Hijikata**
assist us in searching for Yukimura Kodo.
**[09:40] Hijikata**
Make your choice.
**[09:45] Hijikata**
Do it quickly.
**[09:48] Chizuru**
Yes! I will help you!
**[09:51] Chizuru**
Please allow me to search with you.
**[09:54] Hijikata**
You aren't hiding anything else, are you?
**[10:00] Chizuru**
I am not.
**[10:04] Hijikata**
Forget the events of last night. Understand?
**[10:13] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[10:14] Hijikata**
As long as you're here at our command post
you will be given no special treatment.
**[10:17] Hijikata**
You will be treated as a man... as my page.
**[10:24] Chizuru**
Then... was my father here, too?
**[10:28] Hijikata**
We of the Shinsengumi are also searching for him.
**[10:32] Hijikata**
He had been following the orders
of the shogunate alongside us,
**[10:35] Hijikata**
but he's been missing ever since
a fire broke out in the infirmary.
**[10:41] Hijikata**
We haven't found his remains.
**[10:44] Hijikata**
It seemed like he'd been caught up
in some kind of conflict.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Okita**
It seems someone wants to have a word...
**[11:05] (Flashback) Okita**
and it's Sannan-san.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Sannan**
As we are all looking for the same person,
**[11:16] (Flashback) Sannan**
why don't we have her
assist us in our search?
**[11:21] (Flashback) Sannan**
I believe that having her under
our control will prove convenient
**[11:25] (Flashback) Sannan**
once we've found Kodo-san.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Sannan**
And that's regardless
of whether he was abducted,
**[11:33] (Flashback) Sannan**
or whether he betrayed us...
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi Command Post
**[12:07] Hijikata**
I'm concerned about the moves
the Imperial Loyalists are making.
**[12:10] Sannan**
You're speaking of the rumors of large numbers
of infiltrators from Choshu, correct?
**[12:13] Hijikata**
Yes.
**[12:15] Sannan**
I'll be careful. I'll be going then.
**[12:30] Chizuru**
Excuse me!
**[12:31] Okita**
You've been told not to walk about
without good reason, haven't you?
**[12:40] Chizuru**
Would it be possible for me
to go out to look for my father?
**[12:44] Okita**
No. We don't have the personnel
to spare to guard you.
**[12:49] Chizuru**
I have enough knowledge
of the sword to protect myself.
**[12:53] Okita**
Didn't you nearly get killed by outlaw
ronin soon after coming to the capital?
**[12:58] Chizuru**
That was...
**[13:03] Saito**
In that case, I will test you.
**[13:05] Saito**
Prove to me that your sword isn't just
a decoration hanging at your waist.
**[13:11] Chizuru**
But... if I use my katana,
Saito-san, you'll be—
**[13:16] Saito**
If you absolutely do not wish
to use your katana...
**[13:20] Saito**
then come at me with the back of the blade.
**[13:45] Chizuru**
Thank you for this opportunity!
**[14:14] Okita**
If Hajime-kun had been serious,
you'd be dead.
**[14:25] Okita**
This is a very nice short sword.
**[14:36] Chizuru**
I'm sorry for the trouble.
**[14:39] Saito**
Take pride in your swordsmaster.
Your blade is unclouded.
**[14:45] Saito**
If you wouldn't mind
accompanying the patrols,
**[14:47] Saito**
then I'll speak to the vice-commanders
about allowing you out
**[14:50] Saito**
to search for Kodo-san.
**[14:59] Chizuru**
Thank you so much.
**[15:07] Toudou**
Oh, now look here!
**[15:08] Toudou**
It's time to eat, you know...
**[15:10] Saito**
Apologies. I'll go now.
**[15:12] Toudou**
Make it quick, please!
**[15:21] Toudou**
So... you. Chizuru, you should come, too.
**[15:25] Toudou**
Or there won't be anything left to eat.
**[15:27] Chizuru**
I'm so sorry, Todo-san. I'll go right—
**[15:29] Toudou**
Um... Could you stop with the "Todo-san"?
**[15:31] Toudou**
Everyone calls me Heisuke.
That's good enough.
**[15:39] Toudou**
And you can stop speaking so politely, too.
**[15:44] Chizuru**
Can I call you "Heisuke-kun"?
**[15:49] Toudou**
Yeah.
**[15:52] Nagakura**
Time to eat!
**[15:53] Toudou**
Hey! What are you doing?
**[15:55] Nagakura**
It's the age of survival of the fittest!
**[15:57] Toudou**
What? Stop right there!
**[15:59] Nagakura**
If you want to eat, come and get it!
**[16:04] Toudou**
Ow!
**[16:07] Toudou**
Hey! Don't eat my fish!
**[16:08] Harada**
You should smile like that from the start.
**[16:12] Harada**
We won't treat you badly.
**[16:17] Chizuru**
I've eaten dinner alone
more often than not, so...
**[16:21] Chizuru**
it's fun to eat with everyone like this.
**[16:32] Okita**
Don't let the fact that you haven't paid
for the food bother you, and eat your fill.
**[16:36] Chizuru**
If there's anything I can do, I'll do it!
**[16:38] Saito**
Don't let it bother you.
**[16:40] Chizuru**
No, sir.
**[16:43] Chizuru**
Whether it's cleaning,
or helping to prepare the food,
**[16:45] Chizuru**
I'd like to do what I can.
**[16:48] Chizuru**
Please let me!
**[16:57] Inoue**
Come quickly!
**[16:59] Inoue**
Sannan-san has been...
**[17:00] background**
Sir!
**[17:01] Inoue**
He's been gravely injured
in the course of his duties.
**[17:02] background**
Help him over here.
**[17:04] Kondou**
Sannan-kun!
**[17:05] Kondou**
Stay strong.
**[17:08] Inoue**
It seems there's no threat
to his life, but...
**[17:10] Inoue**
the wound is to his left arm...
**[17:12] Inoue**
They say it will be difficult
for him to hold a sword again.
**[17:27] Okita**
For Sannan-san... we'll have to use medicine
or whatever else it may take.
**[17:32] Nagakura**
Quit talking so recklessly.
**[17:34] Nagakura**
What'll you do if our chief
turns into a rasetsu?
**[17:37] Chizuru**
Rasetsu?
***SIGN*** June, Genji Year 1 (1864)
**[18:09] Hijikata**
Starting today...
**[18:11] Hijikata**
you will accompany our top officers
on their patrols through the city.
**[18:15] Chizuru**
Yes, sir!
**[18:20] Hijikata**
Someone looking like Kodo-san has been
seen in the vicinity of Kiyamachi.
**[18:24] Chizuru**
Like my father?
**[18:26] Hijikata**
The truth of the testimony
hasn't been verified.
**[18:28] Hijikata**
You're the best one to ascertain
if it's him or not, that's all.
**[18:32] Chizuru**
Yes, sir!
**[18:34] Hijikata**
If you run, you will be killed on the spot.
**[18:36] Hijikata**
The officers have been ordered to do so.
**[18:40] Chizuru**
Yes, sir!
***SIGN*** Integrity
**[18:57] Chizuru**
Oh, excuse me!
**[18:59] woman**
Yes?
**[19:02] Chizuru**
Excuse me. I was hoping
to ask you something.
**[19:04] man**
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
**[19:06] townsperson 1**
Oh. I think I've seen someone like that
at the masu box store over there.
**[19:12] Chizuru**
Thank you very much!
**[19:15] soldier**
Stop right there!
**[19:16] soldier**
Are you lot ronin?
**[19:18] soldier**
If you're in the service of a lord,
let's hear your clan name.
**[19:20] ronin**
Huh? What makes you think
a Miburo like you has a say?
**[19:23] soldier**
What was that, you lowlife?
**[19:31] Chizuru**
Is anyone there?
**[19:34] shop owner**
Welcome.
**[19:39] shop owner**
Yes?
**[19:40] Chizuru**
A man with a shaved head
and an Edo accent...
**[19:42] shop clerk**
This person was with
the Shinsengumi just now!
**[19:45] shop owner**
Hey! Run!
**[19:47] Chizuru**
Oh, um...
**[19:51] Okita**
Dear, dear...
**[19:54] Okita**
You really have no luck.
**[19:58] Okita**
And neither do they.
**[20:03] soldier**
After him!
**[20:04] soldiers**
Sir!
***SIGN*** Yamazaki Susumu
**[20:36] Okita**
This is quite the achievement.
**[20:38] solider**
Hurry up and confess already.
**[20:40] soldier**
How long do you intend to stay silent?!
**[20:42] soldier**
Confess!
**[20:46] Hijikata**
Tell us.
**[20:48] Hijikata**
What were you trying to do today?
**[20:54] shop owner**
Set fire to the capital...
**[21:02] Kondou**
Yukimura-kun.
**[21:03] Kondou**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[21:05] Chizuru**
Oh... Nothing.
**[21:08] Kondou**
Is something wrong?
**[21:14] Chizuru**
The person who was captured...
What will happen to him?
**[21:27] Kondou**
If it doesn't seem like he'll talk...
killing him may be unavoidable.
**[22:33] Chizuru**
Ow!
**[22:46] Kondou**
Shinsengumi! We depart for battle!
***SIGN*** Preview
**[22:49] everyone**
Yeah!
**[22:50] Hijikata**
The aim of the meeting... is an attack
on the Shinsengumi command post.
**[22:54] Hijikata**
We will divide into two squads.
**[22:55] Hijikata**
I'll take the eastern side to Shikokuya.
**[22:56] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, I'll leave the western
side to Ikedaya to you.
**[22:58] Chizuru**
The real one is Ikedaya!

Ow!
**[00:31] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Why can't I play with the other children?
**[00:37] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Is it because my wounds heal so quickly?
**[00:41] (Flashback) Koudou**
Chizuru.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Koudou**
This power is something which
has been bestowed by the heavens.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Koudou**
But when people see something beyond
human capability, they abhor it.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Koudou**
You must never tell any person
other than myself of this.
**[01:00] (Flashback) Chizuru**
All right.
**[01:18] Chizuru**
Father...
**[01:24] Inoue**
Thanks, Yukimura-kun.
**[01:26] Inoue**
Since you came, both preparing meals
and cleaning up afterward have gotten easier.
**[01:30] Chizuru**
Not at all. This is the only thing I can do.
**[01:36] Inoue**
Did you injure yourself?
**[01:38] Chizuru**
No.
**[01:50] Nagakura**
How'd it go?
**[01:54] Hijikata**
He's a Choshu spy
named Furutaka Shuntaro.
***SIGN*** Furutaka Shuntaro
**[02:02] Hijikata**
They're planning to set fire
to the capital on a windy day,
**[02:06] Hijikata**
and use that opportunity
to take the emperor to Choshu.
**[02:10] Hijikata**
That is their aim.
**[02:12] Harada**
If they were to succeed...
**[02:15] Hijikata**
It's clear that there would be
a tremendous number of casualties.
**[02:18] Okita**
What will you do, Hijikata-san?
**[02:24] Yamazaki**
Vice-Commander, it was
just as you predicted.
**[02:29] Hijikata**
It seems they're planning to meet tonight.
**[02:33] Hijikata**
The aim of the meeting will be
to rescue Furutaka...
**[02:36] Hijikata**
and attack the Shinsengumi Command Post.
**[02:44] Hijikata**
We will raid that meeting.
**[02:55] Hijikata**
Yamazaki.
**[02:57] Hijikata**
Send word to the Aizu clan and the shogun's
deputies requesting reinforcements.
**[03:00] Hijikata**
If we're going to raid, we'll need numbers.
**[03:05] Hijikata**
Saitou, gather every soldier
in the regiment that can move.
**[03:09] Saitou**
Understood.

**[03:44] Sannan**
What are you doing?
**[03:47] Chizuru**
Sannan-san, is it all right
for you to be up?
**[03:57] Sannan**
Please don't treat me like an invalid
who must stay confined to bed.
**[04:01] Sannan**
Walking around poses no problem for me at all.
**[04:06] Sannan**
Do you comprehend your place here?
**[04:09] Sannan**
Wandering around the command post
without orders is an issue.
**[04:14] Chizuru**
I'm very sorry.
**[04:20] Chizuru**
I'll return to my room immediately.
**[04:29] Hijikata**
Sannan-san.
**[04:33] Hijikata**
Imperial Loyalists will hold a meeting
about rescuing Furutaka tonight.
**[04:38] Sannan**
I see.
**[04:40] Sannan**
So you plan to do a raid
to round them all up at once instead.
**[04:44] Hijikata**
Yes.
**[04:47] Sannan**
It will be an all-out battle.
**[04:56] Hijikata**
Would you...
**[04:59] Hijikata**
please stay here for me.
**[05:02] Hijikata**
I want you to secure
the command post's defenses.
**[05:05] Hijikata**
We have a lot of sick soldiers right now,
and we're mobilizing everyone who can move.
**[05:12] Hijikata**
If I were them,
**[05:14] Hijikata**
I'd aim to rescue Furutaka the moment
everyone leaves the command post.
**[05:20] Sannan**
Yes.
**[05:26] Hijikata**
That's why...
**[05:29] Hijikata**
I'm leaving the command post to you.
**[05:34] Sannan**
Understood.

While we are away from the command post,
you will be under Sannan-san's supervision.
**[05:54] Hijikata**
Don't even think of trying to run away.
**[05:59] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[06:05] Hijikata**
Also... regarding the matter of Kodo-san...
**[06:11] Chizuru**
Sir!
**[06:18] Sannan**
You are much too kind, Hijikata-kun.
**[07:00] Kondou**
How many soldiers are mobile?
**[07:01] Saitou**
We have thirty-four in total.
**[07:04] Kondou**
I can't say that's enough.
**[07:06] Hijikata**
Any word from the Aizu clan
or the shogun's deputy?
**[07:08] Saitou**
We haven't received a reply yet.
**[07:10] Toudou**
With no message, we won't be
getting their help either, right?
**[07:12] Hijikata**
Since we haven't determined
the location of the meeting,
**[07:14] Hijikata**
they probably feel they can't trust us.
**[07:17] Hijikata**
After all, they consider themselves
to be far superior to us.
**[07:21] Kondou**
In any case, with these numbers...
**[07:29] Harada**
Can we use the rasetsu?
**[07:31] Hijikata**
It seems we won't be using them
in battle for a while.
**[07:33] Hijikata**
As long as contact with blood
drives them into a frenzy...
**[07:35] Nagakura**
They were created using that insane drug.
We shouldn't be using them at all.
**[07:39] Toudou**
That's what I think.
**[07:40] Toudou**
I know it was an order from
the shogunate, but that drug...
**[07:43] Okita**
Quiet down.
**[07:44] Okita**
Kondo-san has made a decision.
Stop grousing about it, will you?
**[07:46] Toudou**
But still...
**[07:47] Hijikata**
This is no time to be arguing
about these matters. You will be quiet.
**[07:50] Shimada**
Vice-Commander!
**[07:52] Hijikata**
Shimada.
**[07:54] Hijikata**
How are things looking?
**[07:55] Shimada**
The locations likely to be used
by the Imperial Loyalists for their meeting
**[07:58] Shimada**
are all under exhaustive surveillance,
**[08:01] Shimada**
but we haven't been able to
narrow it to a specific place.
**[08:04] Shimada**
However, just now,
**[08:05] Shimada**
we received word that ronin
have begun to gather...
***SIGN*** Shimada Kai
**[08:07] Shimada**
at Shikokuya...
**[08:08] Shimada**
and Ikedaya.
**[08:10] Shimada**
We believe it's likely one of those two.
**[08:13] Okita**
So, on top of not having enough soldiers,
**[08:16] Okita**
we haven't narrowed it down to one location.
**[08:20] Okita**
What will you do,
mister Demon Vice-Commander?
**[08:23] Saitou**
Which is the most likely to be the real one?
**[08:26] Shimada**
I couldn't really say,
**[08:27] Shimada**
but someone lodging in the same
place as the apprehended Furutaka,
**[08:30] Shimada**
an Imperial Loyalist known as Miyabe Teizo,
**[08:32] Shimada**
frequently visited Ikedaya with Furutaka.
***SIGN*** Miyabe Teizo
**[08:39] Hijikata**
So they'd be unlikely to go there
on the night we've apprehended Furutaka.
**[08:44] Shimada**
Yes, sir.
**[08:45] Shimada**
Which is why we believe Shikokuya
to be the right choice.
**[08:49] Saitou**
But to dismiss Ikedaya on that alone...
**[08:51] Shimada**
We will continue to observe
and investigate, of course.
**[08:54] Shimada**
But if we probe much deeper,
**[08:57] Shimada**
there is a possibility that
they'll notice our movements.
**[09:01] Hijikata**
Understood.
**[09:02] Hijikata**
Send a messenger to tell the Aizu
and the shogun's deputy
**[09:05] Hijikata**
that it's one of those two locations.
**[09:06] Shimada**
Sir!
**[09:10] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, we'll split our men
and move out alone.
**[09:18] Hijikata**
If we wait too long,
we'll be the ones getting raided!
**[09:27] Kondou**
All right.
**[09:31] Hijikata**
Since we're mobilizing,
we will make sure to apprehend them!
**[09:34] Kondou**
Of course!
**[09:36] Hijikata**
We will divide into two squads.
**[09:38] Hijikata**
I'll take Shikokuya and the eastern side.
**[09:40] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, please take
Ikedaya and the western side.
**[09:42] Kondou**
Toshi, take twenty-four men with you.
**[09:45] Hijikata**
Kondo-san, are you
only taking ten with you?
**[09:47] Hijikata**
That's crazy!
**[09:48] Kondou**
It's more likely that you're headed
to the real meeting place.
**[09:51] Kondou**
I'm counting on you.
**[09:53] Hijikata**
I understand.
**[09:54] Kondou**
In exchange, I will pick
the men for my squad.
**[09:58] Kondou**
Soji!
**[10:01] Kondou**
Come with me.
**[10:02] Okita**
Yes, sir.
**[10:04] Kondou**
I'll also take Nagakura-kun...
**[10:06] Nagajura**
Sir.
**[10:07] Kondou**
and Todo-kun.
**[10:08] Toudou**
Sir!
**[10:09] Kondou**
The rest of you split into balanced groups!
**[10:20] Kondou**
Those who would defy justice...
**[10:22] Kondou**
Those who would shake the capital...
**[10:25] Kondou**
These outlaw ronin...
We shall take their ambitions and crush them!
**[10:30] troops**
Sir!
**[10:31] Kondou**
I am looking forward to
your achievements in the field.
**[10:39] Kondou**
Shinsengumi! We depart for battle!
**[10:42] troops**
Sir!
***SIGN*** June 5th, Genji Year 1 (1864)
***SIGN*** Hour of the Dog (7-9 PM)
**[11:21] Toudou**
It's too bad the other location
seems like the right one.
**[11:23] Okita**
I think Ikedaya's the right one, though.
**[11:26] Toudou**
Why do you think that?
**[11:32] Okita**
Because both Kondo-san... and I are here.
**[11:38] Nagakura**
Did you catch a cold?
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[12:19] (Flashback) Hijikata**
Also... regarding the matter of Kodo-san...
**[12:22] (Flashback) Hijikata**
Furutaka saw him with someone
from the western parts of the country.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Chizuru**
My father... and someone from the west?
**[12:31] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Where were they seen?
**[12:35] (Flashback) Hijikata**
At Ikedaya.
***SIGN*** Ikedaya
**[13:06] Okita**
Clang, clang, ting, ting, ting.
Clang, ting, ting.
**[13:11] Okita**
Clang, clang, ting, ting, ting.
Clang, ting, ting.
**[13:15] Okita**
Clang, clang, ting, ting, ting.
Clang, ting, ting.
**[13:49] Kondou**
It's Miyabe. I'm certain of it.
**[13:50] Okita**
Then we've got the right one.
**[13:52] Toudou**
Soji, your intuition was right!
**[13:54] Okita**
What will we do, Kondo-san?
**[13:57] Kondou**
Have we had word from the Aizu clan yet?
**[14:07] Chizuru**
There is one thing... I'd like to ask.
**[14:21] Chizuru**
My father...
**[14:24] Chizuru**
What was he doing here...
with the Shinsengumi?
**[14:38] Sannan**
Your father...
**[14:42] Sannan**
simultaneously brought both
despair and hope to us.
**[14:57] Yamazaki**
Lieutenant Commander Sannan.
**[14:59] Yamazaki**
They are meeting
on Sanjou Street, at Ikedaya.
**[15:07] Sannan**
The Shinsengumi might be worse
at gambling than you'd think.
**[15:28] Kondou**
If they're thinking about rescuing
Furutaka from our command post,
**[15:32] Kondou**
then we should anticipate there being
a large number of people in there.
**[15:35] Okita**
You mean that it will be rough
with the number we have?
**[15:39] Nagakura**
Should we wait for Hijikata-san's squad?
**[15:41] Nagakura**
The surveillance teams
probably sent them a messenger.
**[15:44] Toudou**
Won't it take a long time for them
get the message and then get over here?
**[15:50] Yamazaki**
We must send word to Hijikata's squad
telling them to join Kondo's immediately—
**[15:53] Sannan**
Wait, please.
**[15:55] Yamazaki**
Is there a problem?
**[15:56] Sannan**
There is no guarantee that the ronin
aren't watching our command post.
**[15:58] Sannan**
Taking that into consideration,
our manpower is...
**[16:01] Yamazaki**
If I take the message alone,
and the ronin try to stop me,
**[16:06] Yamazaki**
then Hijikata's squad may receive
the message too late.
**[16:08] Sannan**
Yes. At the very least, two should go.
**[16:11] Yamazaki**
But even the slightest delay will—
**[16:12] Sannan**
I know!
**[16:14] Sannan**
If Kondo's squad goes in alone,
who knows how many casualties we'll suffer?
**[16:19] Sannan**
Waiting for Hijikata's squad to join them
before raiding is best.
**[16:22] Sannan**
Still!
**[16:28] Toudou**
If we don't hurry and they make the first move,
our command post will be in danger.
**[16:31] Nagakura**
We have to hurry.
**[16:33] Nagakura**
Letting ourselves get distracted
by the others will only cause problems.
**[16:43] Sannan**
I will...
**[16:46] Chizuru**
I will!
**[16:53] Chizuru**
I will go, if I may.
**[17:02] Sannan**
Are you worried that your father
might be caught up in this?
**[17:11] Sannan**
Yamazaki-kun, I'm counting on you.
**[17:16] Yamazaki**
In the worst case,
**[17:18] Yamazaki**
I will make sure that she, at least,
reaches Hijikata's squad.
**[17:21] Yamazaki**
That's what you mean, right?
**[17:22] Sannan**
Yes.
**[17:45] Hjikata**
Any movement?
**[17:46] Saitou**
Not yet.
**[17:48] Saitou**
Any word from the commander's squad?
**[18:05] Yamazaki**
Just as Lieutenant Commander
Sannan predicted.
**[18:10] Yamazaki**
No matter what happens,
keep running down this road.
**[18:12] Yamazaki**
There is no need to look back.
**[18:13] Chizuru**
Is someone there? How many are there?
**[18:16] Yamazaki**
You don't need to know.
**[18:18] Yamazaki**
You... just need to run!
**[18:21] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[18:27] Yamazaki**
Don't waver! Look for bright sea-blue
uniforms and run toward them!
**[18:30] Chizuru**
I will!
**[18:56] Miyabe**
This is the Shinsengumi command post.
**[19:04] Miyabe**
Men.
**[19:06] Miyabe**
Now...
**[19:08] Miyabe**
we will attack the Shinsengumi
command post, kill them all,
**[19:14] Miyabe**
and rescue Furutaka.
**[19:16] Miyabe's men**
Sir!
**[19:29] Chizuru**
The meeting is at Ikedaya...
**[19:32] Chizuru**
The meeting is at Ikedaya!
**[19:42] Okita**
Kondo-san.
**[19:47] Okita**
I will... show you that I can be of use here.
**[20:01] Kondou**
I'm counting on you.
**[20:10] Kondou**
We will go in alone.
**[20:11] others**
Sir!
**[20:20] Saitou**
Vice-Commander, what is that?
**[20:36] Hijikata**
You!
**[20:38] Harada**
Are you all right?
**[20:39] Harada**
Don't leave the command post
without permission!
**[20:43] Chizuru**
The meeting...
**[20:48] Chizuru**
The meeting... is at Ikedaya!
**[20:57] Kondou**
Okuzawa, Niida, Andou, you go around

What of the Aizu and the shogun's deputies?
Have they gone to Ikedaya already?
**[21:16] Chizuru**
Sannan-san said that... if Kondo-san
and the others go in alone...
**[21:20] Chizuru**
they'll be in danger.
**[21:26] Hijikata**
It's Ikedaya. Hurry!

**[00:07] Hijikata**
We will divide into two squads.
**[00:09] Hijikata**
I'll take Shikokuya and the eastern side.

This is very much Kondo-san's style.

Charging in fair and square...

There's no need to go to the trouble

**[09:25] Saito**
I'll allow you to have it today.
**[09:44] Hijikata**
Good work bringing the message.
**[09:47] Hijikata**
It's thanks to you
**[09:50] Hijikata**
that we were able to make the first move.
**[09:52] Chizuru**
The first move?
**[09:59] Hijikata**
They've finally made
their appearance, I see.
**[10:01] Hijikata**
After ignoring so many of our messengers...
**[10:06] Hijikata**
They say that those who
are easily frightened...
**[10:09] Hijikata**
only think about ways to stand out...
**[10:11] Hijikata**
because that's how their
reputations are established.
**[10:20] Aizu clan**
Thank you for your efforts.
We'll take care of the rest.
**[10:24] Hijikata**
The Shinsengumi,
under the orders of our commander,
**[10:27] Hijikata**
are currently conducting
an inspection of Ikedaya!
**[10:30] Aizu clan**
What?
**[10:31] Hijikata**
As such... we do not require
any of your meddling!
**[10:38] Hijikata**
I would ask you not to
step foot inside Ikedaya.
**[10:45] Yamazaki**
If they entered Ikedaya right now,
**[10:49] Yamazaki**
the credit for taking down
the Choshu ronin would go to them.
**[10:52] Chizuru**
Yamazaki-san...
**[10:54] Yamazaki**
If that happened, the Shinsengumi's
military prowess might be denied altogether.
**[10:59] Aizu clan**
We have our own duties to fulfill!
Do not forget that!
**[11:02] Hijikata**
We already have enough men.
**[11:05] Hijikata**
Or could it be...
**[11:08] Hijikata**
that you want to get caught up in this?
**[11:12] Yamazaki**
Right now, the vice-commander...
**[11:14] Yamazaki**
is putting his life on the line
for the Shinsengumi, all alone.
**[11:17] Yamazaki**
It's what the vice-commander
must do right now...
**[11:21] Yamazaki**
something which only he can accomplish.
**[11:31] Inoue**
Is there anyone free to help?
**[11:40] Yamazaki**
I am a messenger,
so I cannot leave this spot.
**[11:44] Yamazaki**
Can I ask you to help?
**[11:49] Chizuru**
I ask you, as well...
Please allow me to do what I can.
**[12:17] Amagiri**
We have no reason to fight you.

If you would retreat...
**[12:27] Amagiri**
then we have no intention

Are you all right?
**[13:02] Harada**
Good. Leave the rest to me.

Hey, there!
**[13:35] Amagiri**
We are neither your enemies,
nor the allies of those here.
**[14:04] Okita**
Heisuke!
**[14:11] Amagiri**
It should not prove to be a fatal wound.
**[14:14] Amagiri**
You should tend to him immediately.
**[14:25] Shiranui**
Come on, just let these guys get away.
**[14:36] Harada**
And who are you?
**[14:58] Kazama**

You'll be all right now.

Thank you.

Don't tell me... Did you come here

Where are the others?
**[15:52] Chizuru**
They have their hands full.
**[15:56] Chizuru**
Where is Heisuke-kun?
**[15:59] Kondo**
The second floor.
**[16:04] Kondo**
I know it's wrong of me to ask you
to take care of him, but...
**[16:10] Nagakura**
That idiot! He must've let his guard down!
**[16:12] Kondo**
Soji's there, too.
He's not likely to be beaten!
**[16:18] Nagakura**
Chizuru-chan!
**[16:19] Nagakura**
We won't let a single
person pass this point!
**[16:22] Nagakura**
So, I'm sorry to ask it of you,
but look after Heisuke!
**[16:24] Chizuru**
I will!
**[16:27] Kondo**
Go!
**[16:28] Chizuru**
Sir!
**[16:29] Nagakura**
I'm counting on you!
**[16:37] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun?
**[16:40] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun?
**[16:41] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun! Heisuke-kun!
**[16:47] Chizuru**
I'm going to look at your wound, all right?
**[16:50] Todo**
You idiot...
**[16:54] Todo**
What are you doing here?
**[17:16] Amagiri**
Would you please withdraw?
**[17:19] Amagiri**
I asked the same of that young man earlier.
**[17:23] Amagiri**
I have no reason to fight you.
**[17:28] Okita**
I'm sorry, but...
**[17:36] Okita**
you have committed wrongs
against the Shinsengumi.
**[17:59] Okita**
I do have a reason to fight you.
**[18:07] Aizu clan**
You've all been simply
imitating noble samurai.
**[18:10] Aizu clan**
You're being quite arrogant
for a band of common peasants.
**[18:22] Hijikata**
Do you want to be cut down?
**[18:23] Aizu clan**
What was that?
**[18:26] Hijikata**
"Cut down everyone inside
who isn't wearing our uniform."
**[18:29] Hijikata**
That's what I ordered our troops to do.
**[18:36] Chiuzuru**
Heisuke-kun!
**[18:46] Hijikata**
We will protect the capital...
**[18:49] Hijikata**
ourselves...
**[18:52] Hijikata**
and our beliefs; that is why we fight.
**[19:03] Hijikata**
If you want to go inside
and die, I won't stop you.
**[19:08] Hijikata**
Go ahead and enter if you're so resolved!
**[19:12] Hijikata**
If you're prepared to be cut down
by a band of lordless warriors like us, that is.
**[19:58] Chizuru**
Wait here for a moment.
**[20:26] Kazama**
I had wondered as to
the extent of your skills.
**[20:31] Kazama**
You are too frail and weak
to be called a swordsman.
**[20:45] Okita**
Our enemies must die.
**[21:00] Kazama**
Is that so?
**[21:12] Kazama**
I'd heard that you were a band of peasants,
but that your skills were top-notch.
**[21:17] Kazama**
It seems that was just a story.
**[21:43] Okita**
You're a good kid.
**[21:45] Okita**
I'll lavish you with praise later.
**[21:51] Kazama**
Don't get in over your head!
**[22:03] Chizuru**
Okita-san!
**[22:06] Kazama**
Out of the way.
**[22:14] Okita**
It's me you're fighting, isn't it?
**[22:17] Chizuru**
You mustn't! You're coughing up blood!
**[22:22] Kazama**
In that pathetic state,
you're not even useful as a shield.
**[22:26] Okita**
Silence! No one asked you!
**[22:30] Okita**
I am not... useless...
**[22:35] Chizuru**
Okita-san! Okita-san!
**[22:40] Kazama**
Fool.
**[22:41] Okita**
I... I can still fight...
**[22:50] Chizuru**
Okita-san...

You can't be...

We will hold out until Toshi

Don't let a single one escape!

We have no reason to fight you.

I do have a reason to fight you.

A human raises his blade against me?

Hijikata-san...
**[02:38] Hijikata**
You're insanely strong...
**[02:41] Kazama**
Woman, why are you with these people?
**[02:46] Kazama**
To think I'd meet my kindred
in a place like this. And a woman at that.
**[02:52] Amagiri**
Kazama.
**[02:53] Amagiri**
We should depart.
**[02:56] Amagiri**
We do not want to give humans
a reason to resent us.
**[03:03] Kazama**
You, the shogunate's stray dog,
lusting only for glory on the battlefield.
**[03:09] Kazama**
I'm certain that you don't know her worth,
**[03:13] Kazama**
but I'll leave her with you
for a while. Treat her well.
**[03:24] Hijikata**
Soji, are you all right?

You've been cut.

Ikedaya Sobei, is among those captured.
**[04:18] Yamazaki**
And there were a few... who escaped.
**[04:24] Hijikata**
Have the inspectors chase

**[04:26] Yamazaki**

**[04:30] Kondo**
And our casualties are?
**[04:32] Yamazaki**
Four injured, including
squad leaders Okita and Todo.
**[04:36] Yamazaki**
And one... fatality.
**[04:39] Kondo**
Who?
**[04:41] Yamazaki**
Okuzawa-san.
**[04:59] Kondo**
Everyone!
**[05:02] Kondo**
You've all done good work here.
**[05:11] Kondo**
You, too.
**[05:14] Kondo**
I give you my thanks.
**[05:32] Sannan**
I see.
**[05:35] Sannan**
Even under those conditions,

Hey, are they the Shinsengumi?

That's right.
**[06:48] Nagakura**
Isn't it great your injury wasn't serious?
**[06:50] Todo**
Ow!
**[06:51] Harada**
You'd better be grateful to Chizuru!
**[06:53] Todo**
Ow! I know! That hurts!
**[06:56] Chizuru**
I'm glad you're all right.
**[07:01] Todo**
Cut it out! Ow...
**[07:04] Chizuru**
You, too, Okita-san.
**[07:08] Okita**
Yes, I suppose.
**[07:10] Inoue**
To think there'd be anyone
who could injure Soji and Todo-kun.
**[07:14] Todo**
That was because...
it was dark inside Ikedaya.
**[07:18] Harada**
What're you talking about?
**[07:20] Todo**
Stop!
**[07:21] Inoue**
The fact that, amidst all that uproar,
Kodo-san wasn't found inside Ikedaya...
**[07:25] Inoue**
might be a bit of a silver lining.
**[07:29] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[07:31] Todo**
Kodo-san...
**[07:33] Todo**
wasn't caught up in it. That's good, right?
**[07:44] Hijikata**
Have you learned anything about those three?
**[07:48] Saito**
According to Heisuke, they stated
that they weren't Choshu spies.
**[07:53] Saito**
They seem to be spies from an outside faction
who infiltrated for some other purpose.
**[07:56] Saito**
I've had the inspectors
begin an investigation.
**[08:00] Hijikata**
I see.
**[08:11] Saito**
Is there something else you
are concerned about?
**[08:15] Hijikata**
No.
**[08:41] Hijikata**
Sannan-san! May I come in?
**[08:50] Hijikata**
You're not thinking of doing
anything crazy, are you?
**[08:56] Hijikata**
That medicine is still
only a failed attempt.
**[08:59] Hijikata**
Don't even think about trying it.
**[09:11] Hijikata**
There's still a mountain
of things I need you to do.
**[09:15] Hijikata**
I don't have time for you
to go blood-crazed.
**[09:20] Sannan**
I know.
**[09:28] Sannan**
If only we could find Kodo-san...
**[09:31] Sannan**
I'm sure we'd find ways to improve it.
**[09:38] Hijikata**
Kodo-san was not at Ikedaya.
**[09:43] Sannan**
It seems not.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Kazama**
I'm certain that you don't know her worth,
**[09:53] (Flashback) Kazama**
but I'll leave her with you
for a while. Treat her well.
**[09:59] Sannan**
Was there something you wanted to ask me?
**[10:06] Hijikata**
The idea that Kodo-san had created
rasetsu who can walk in daylight,
**[10:10] Hijikata**
who never become blood-crazed...
Do you think that's possible?
**[10:17] Sannan**
I can't say it would be impossible.
**[10:26] Hijikata**
I see.
***SIGN*** October, Genji Year 1 (1864)
***SIGN*** Ito Kashitaro
**[10:58] Ito**
This place reeks of men.
**[11:03] Nagakura**
Ito Kashitaro.
**[11:05] Nagakura**
They say he's a master of the
Hokushin Itto-ryu dueling style.
**[11:09] Kondo**
Thank you for traveling
all the way from Edo.
**[11:15] Harada**
Ito-san is an imperial loyalist, isn't he?
**[11:18] Saito**
That's what I've heard.
**[11:21] Harada**
Why would someone who feels
the same as those Choshu guys
**[11:23] Harada**
decide to join the Shinsengumi?
**[11:25] Saito**
When they went to Edo to ask
that the lord visit the capital,
**[11:29] Saito**
they spoke to Ito-san, who was
an acquaintance of Heisuke's.
**[11:34] Ito**
I heard that during the
recent incident at Ikedaya....
**[11:36] Ito**
your exploits were quite impressive.
**[11:40] Kondo**
Not at all.
**[11:41] Ito**
The Shinsengumi, at the very brink...
**[11:45] Ito**
prevented the abduction
of His Imperial Majesty.
**[11:49] Ito**
I hear that the shogunate
thinks very highly of you.
**[11:53] Kondo**
It wasn't anything to speak of.
**[12:01] Nagakura**
Where's Heisuke?
**[12:02] Saito**
Still in Edo recruiting troops.
**[12:05] Harada**
A guy like that...
Should we really let him join?
**[12:08] Saito**
It is having members
with many different beliefs
**[12:11] Saito**
which will help our organization to grow.
**[12:14] Saito**
However...
**[12:15] Kondo**
With the Aizu victory in the matter in July,
**[12:18] Kondo**
Aizu's position has become
firmly established in the capital.
**[12:22] Ito**
But on that occasion, I heard
that much of the capital burned.
**[12:28] Kondo**
It was the same as Ikedaya.
**[12:30] Kondo**
Our lack of manpower
was the main reason for that.
**[12:35] Ito**
In that case, it seems I might become
**[12:41] Ito**
a great help to the Shinsengumi.
**[12:47] Saito**
Forcing growth can lead
to a collapse starting from within.
**[13:00] Kondo**
Together... we will protect this land.
**[13:04] Ito**
Yes. Together.
**[13:13] Harada**
Kondo-san already seems to adore Ito-san.
**[13:16] Okita**
Kondo-san is good-natured. That's why...
**[13:20] Okita**
smooth-talking, black-hearted guys
like that can easily trick him.
***SIGN*** February, Genji Year 2 (1865)
**[13:44] Kondo**
We'll be getting new troops in again soon.
**[13:48] Kondo**
I think it's time to move
to a new command post.
**[13:51] Ito**
Hated as we are within the capital,
is there anywhere that will accept us?
**[13:56] Saito**
Do you know of a place?
**[13:59] Ito**
Nishi Hongwanji.
**[14:03] Sannan**
I'd heard that Nishi Hongwanji
was sheltering Choshu ronin.
**[14:09] Sannan**
I don't think they'd accept us so easily.
**[14:11] Ito**
This is something which Vice-Commander
Hijikata and I have discussed at length.
**[14:18] Hijikata**
If we move to Nishi Hongwanji,
**[14:20] Hijikata**
the imperial loyalist ronin will
lose one of their hiding places.
**[14:24] Sannan**
But restricting the ministers' movements
with military force... Is that right?
**[14:28] Hijikata**
The ones using the temple and ministers
**[14:30] Hijikata**
as a front to do whatever
they like are the Choshu.
**[14:32] Sannan**
I know we must keep an eye on the
Choshu ronin. However, this isn't—
**[14:35] Ito**
Our capital...
**[14:37] Ito**
and its public safety are being thrown
into disarray by disloyal ronin.
**[14:39] Ito**
To show concern for them...
**[14:42] Ito**
Sannan-san, you are so very kind.
**[14:46] Ito**
Even if your left arm is forever useless
and you can never live as a swordsman again,
**[14:53] Ito**
your splendid and ready wit in debate...
**[14:56] Ito**
will certainly be needed as the
Shinsengumi grow. Don't you think?
**[15:10] Hijikata**
Ito-san!
**[15:12] Hijikata**
What did you mean by that?
**[15:18] Hijikata**
Just as you say, Sannan-san
is highly skilled in debate.
**[15:22] Hijikata**
But...
**[15:24] Hijikata**
the Shinsengumi need his skills
as a swordsman, too!
**[15:32] Ito**
I seem to have slipped and spoken out of turn.
**[15:40] Kondo**
On the matter of moving
to a new command post...
**[15:42] Kondo**
Let's leave it until after we've all had a
chance to discuss it, Military Advisor Ito.
**[15:47] Ito**
Yes, of course.
**[16:01] Chizuru**
Is it already finished?
**[16:04] Sannan**
Well, I am, at least.
**[16:09] Sannan**
Since a brilliant military
advisor has joined us,
**[16:13] Sannan**
I will leave the position
of lieutenant commander.
**[16:32] Chizuru**
Excuse me.
**[17:05] Okita**
Please find a suitable reason
to drive that man out.
**[17:11] Nagakura**
That jerk Heisuke.
Bringing in a guy like that...
**[17:14] Nagakura**
When he gets back,
I'm really gonna let him have it!
**[17:16] Harada**
I've got no idea why Kondo-san
is so devoted to a guy like that.
**[17:20] Harada**
A military advisor? Sannan-san
was more than enough already.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Sannan**
I will leave the position
of lieutenant commander.
**[18:20] Sannan**
Are you worried for me?
**[18:28] Sannan**
You wanted to know what Kodo-san was
doing with the Shinsengumi, didn't you?
**[18:38] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[18:44] Sannan**
Come this way.
**[19:04] Chizuru**
Who are these people?
**[19:07] Sannan**
They are...
**[19:10] Sannan**
individuals whom your father turned
into "something which is not human."
**[19:16] Chizuru**
My father did this?
**[19:20] Sannan**
With a medicine brought in under
a secret order by the shogunate.
**[19:27] Sannan**
Drinking this medicine endows one
with inhuman strength,
**[19:32] Sannan**
and wounds heal as soon
as they are inflicted.
**[19:36] Sannan**
This medicine was meant
to be the hope of the Shinsengumi.
**[19:41] Sannan**
But this medicine has one fatal flaw.
**[19:47] Sannan**
What becomes of a person
after drinking this...
**[19:52] Sannan**
You've seen it with your
own eyes, haven't you?
**[19:58] Sannan**
Once you've taken this,
**[20:00] Sannan**
you can no longer move
about under the light of the sun.
**[20:04] Sannan**
That would be enough in itself, but...
**[20:08] Sannan**
drinking this steals your ability to reason.
**[20:11] Sannan**
You become a monster thirsting for blood,
and can no longer be considered human.
**[20:17] Sannan**
Right now, we're suppressing their
desire for blood with medicines,
**[20:21] Sannan**
but you would never think they
were human, would you?
**[20:28] Sannan**
Though all your wounds would heal...
**[20:32] Sannan**
and you would gain incredible strength...
**[20:36] Sannan**
in drinking this,
you would lose your humanity.
**[20:46] Sannan**
Your father was working here
to improve this medicine.
**[20:53] Sannan**
In this test site known
as the Shinsengumi...
**[20:59] Sannan**
But research into
the medicine has been halted,
**[21:02] Sannan**
because Kodo-san has gone missing.
**[21:07] Sannan**
Even after Kodo-san disappeared,
**[21:11] Sannan**
I've used the notes he left behind
to continue trying to improve the medicine.
**[21:23] Sannan**
If I drank this medicine...
**[21:28] Sannan**
my arm would heal.
**[21:34] Chizuru**
That medicine...
**[21:38] Chizuru**
if it's your improved version, Sannan-san...
**[21:44] Chizuru**
will you heal without becoming blood-crazed?
**[21:48] Sannan**
If I've compounded it correctly.
**[21:51] Chizuru**
Are you planning to use it?
**[21:59] Chizuru**
Please reconsider.
**[22:02] Chizuru**
Even without relying on something like that,
**[22:04] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san and everyone
all know they need you!
**[22:09] Chizuru**
Even if you can't move your arm, they—
**[22:12] Sannan**
You couldn't possibly understand!
**[22:20] Sannan**
I am of no use whatsoever,
**[22:23] Sannan**
I have already served my purpose, and yet
they spout nonsense about my being needed!
**[22:28] Sannan**
I know better than anyone that
there is no further need of me here.
**[22:33] Sannan**
You don't understand.
**[22:36] Sannan**
How can you understand how I feel, being
granted an important position out of pity?
**[22:40] Chizuru**
It isn't pity!
**[22:41] Sannan**
If I drink this, my arm may heal!
**[22:46] Sannan**
If it heals...
**[22:48] Sannan**
If it heals... I'll be
able to hold a sword again.
**[22:53] Sannan**
If it heals, I'll once again...
**[22:56] Sannan**
I'll once again become
someone this company needs.
**[23:01] Chizuru**
But if it fails...
**[23:03] Sannan**
If it means that I can be a swordsman,
even as a living corpse,
**[23:10] Sannan**
then please allow the human me to die.
**[23:32] Chizuru**
Someone... Is there anyone there?
**[23:37] Chizuru**
Is there anyone out there?
**[23:43] Chizuru**
Sannan-san... Sannan-san!
**[24:19] Sannan**
It was your father's fault
that all this happened.
**[24:24] Sannan**
He brought despair to the Shinsengumi.
**[24:29] Sannan**
It's your father's fault...
**[24:36] Hijikata**
Why do you have the same
powers as the rasetsu?
***SIGN*** Preview
**[24:38] Hijikata**

All fake oni will be dealt with.

**[00:00] Kondo**
Together... we will protect this land.
**[00:02] Hijikata**
Ito-san. The Shinsengumi need Sannan-san!
**[00:06] Kazama**
To think I'd meet my kindred in a place
like this. And a woman at that.
**[00:10] Sannan**
If I drink this, my arm may heal!
**[00:12] Sannan**
I'll once again become
someone this company needs.
**[00:14] Chizuru**
Sannan-san!
**[00:20] Sannan**
It was your father's fault
that all this happened.
**[00:25] Sannan**
He brought despair to the Shinsengumi.
**[00:30] Sannan**
It's your father's fault!
**[00:35] Chizuru**
Sannan-san...
**[00:57] Sannan**
Okita-kun...
**[01:01] Chizuru**
He's come to his senses.
**[01:04] Sannan**
Please... kill me.
**[01:08] Sannan**
The experiment failed.
**[01:11] Sannan**
While I retain my reason... Okita-kun...
**[01:16] Sannan**
Can I ask this of you?
**[01:18] Okita**
I understand.
**[01:21] Sannan**
I'd expect no less...
of the Sword of the Shinsengumi.
**[01:31] Chizuru**
You're going to kill him?
**[01:33] Chizuru**
You can't! Please, wait!
**[01:35] Okita**
Outsiders should keep quiet.
**[01:44] Chizuru**
Sannan-san...
**[01:46] Chizuru**
Sannan-san!
**[01:49] Chizuru**
Sannan-san...
**[01:56] Chizuru**
Sannan-san?
**[02:19] Okita**
If he's taken that medicine,
this won't be enough to kill him.

**[03:00] Hijikata**
Who are you?
**[03:02] Hijikata**
Why do you have the same
powers as a rasetsu?
**[03:09] Hijikata**
Are you a rasetsu?
**[03:14] Hijikata**
Tell me the truth!
**[03:26] Chizuru**
This power...
**[03:30] Chizuru**
When I was little, my father...
**[03:33] Chizuru**
He told me that no one
must ever find out about it.
**[03:36] Chizuru**
Why do I have the same
powers as a rasetsu?
**[03:46] Chizuru**
Truly, I do not know.
**[04:00] Chizuru**
My father...
**[04:03] Chizuru**
I ask you once more!
**[04:05] Chizuru**
Please let me look for my father!
**[04:09] Chizuru**
I think my father will know
about this power.
**[04:15] Chizuru**
And about whether there's a way
to turn rasetsu back.
**[04:22] Chizuru**
My father... I'm sure he isn't a bad person.
**[04:29] Chizuru**
What he brought with him...
**[04:32] Chizuru**
There must have been some
special reason for it!
**[04:47] Hijikata**
Don't mistake permission for trust.
**[05:03] Chizuru**
Back when my father was here...
**[05:07] Chizuru**
Will you tell me a little about that time?
**[05:14] (Flashback) Kodo**
This medicine is called the Water of Life.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Kodo**
And those who drink it
are called rasetsu.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Kondo**
But... to think it has such
powerful side effects...
**[05:26] (Flashback) Kodo**
Conducting research into finding a way
to suppress those side effects, together,
**[05:30] (Flashback) Kodo**
is our secret order from the shogunate.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Hijikata**
I am opposed to this.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Hijikata**
To test the results of the research,
**[05:38] (Flashback) Hijikata**
experiments on humans will need
to be done at some point.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Sannan**
However, if we defy
the orders of the shogunate,
**[05:44] (Flashback) Sannan**
we will lose the backing of the Aizu.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Kondo**
Sannan-kun, are you in favor?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Sannan**
No. Not at all.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Sannan**
However, the authority that the
Aizu have finally granted us
**[05:54] (Flashback) Sannan**
would quickly be lost if we defy orders.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Sannan**
If we lose our backing...
**[06:01] (Flashback) Sannan**
we'd slip back into being
simply a destitute training hall.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Kodo**
You're right. The truth is,
medicine like this should not be used.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Kodo**
However...
**[06:12] (Flashback) Kodo**
If ever a time comes when you are powerless
to prevent a loss, you will think...
**[06:16] (Flashback) Kodo**
"If only I were stronger."
**[06:20] (Flashback) Kodo**
The Water of Life provides false strength.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Kodo**
But, false though it may be, strength...
**[06:25] (Flashback) Kodo**
can become hope.
**[06:32] Hijikata**
We had those who broke the law
**[06:34] Hijikata**
choose between ritual suicide
and drinking the Water of Life
**[06:37] Hijikata**
and moved forward
with the experiments, but...
**[06:40] Hijikata**
to this day, we haven't had any successes.
**[06:42] Chizuru**
Then... what about Sannan-san?
**[06:47] Hijikata**
Attempting to retain
the sanity of the subjects,
**[06:49] Hijikata**
Sannan-san has made his own improvements
to the medicine. I know that.
**[06:53] Hijikata**
Right now, I will gamble on that
and watch him tonight.
**[06:56] Chizuru**
If he still...
**[06:59] Chizuru**
If he's still crazed, then...
**[07:15] Hijikata**
Will he live?
**[07:18] Hijikata**
Will he go crazy?
**[07:21] Hijikata**
Tonight will determine everything.
**[07:32] Hijikata**
I said to keep watch over him!
**[07:39] Hijikata**
We've worked together since we were in Edo.
**[07:42] Hijikata**
And now, when we're finally at the point
when everything's about to start...
**[07:50] Hijikata**
When I'm being obstinate,
he'll take the reins and guide me.
**[07:54] Hijikata**
He's like a big brother to me.
**[08:03] Hijikata**
I can't lose him.
**[08:09] Chizuru**
I understand.
**[08:16] Hijikata**
Why am I telling you this?
**[08:20] Chizuru**
Sannan-san will be all right.
**[08:32] Chizuru**
I'm sure of it.

**[09:03] Harada**
How is Sannan-san doing?
**[09:06] Inoue**
He's still asleep.
**[09:08] Inoue**
We won't know anything
for sure until he wakes.
**[09:13] Ito**
Good morning, everyone.
**[09:16] Harada**
Ugh.
**[09:18] Ito**
"Ugh" is your way of greeting me, I assume?
**[09:24] Ito**
What's this?
**[09:26] Ito**
The pallor of your faces seems
to indicate that you are all unwell.
**[09:29] Ito**
Does it have something to do
with the uproar last night?
**[09:33] Saito**
As you have guessed, Military Advisor Ito,
**[09:35] Saito**
last night, an incident occurred
within the command post.
**[09:38] Saito**
However, we have not
yet gathered all the details.
**[09:44] Ito**
My, my.
**[09:49] Saito**
To explain what we know at this moment
would only invite misunderstandings,
**[09:53] Saito**
so I believe it would be better
to convey the information
**[09:55] Saito**
at a later time, perhaps tonight.
**[09:57] Ito**
Then I look forward to your invitation
tonight with great anticipation.
**[10:11] Okita**
It seems like he's letting it pass.
**[10:14] Saito**
No.
**[10:17] Hijikata**
All the top officers are here
except for Sannan-san.
**[10:21] Hijikata**
It won't take Ito long to
realize that he's involved.
**[10:25] Kondo**
Then... how will we explain this?
**[10:37] Sannan**
You look at me as though
I'm some sort of monster.
**[10:53] Inoue**
Is it all right for you to be up?
**[10:59] Sannan**
If you're looking for an explanation
to give to Ito-san, I have an idea.
**[11:07] Sannan**
I...
**[11:11] Sannan**
think we should make it
appear as though I have died.

Now!
**[11:24] trainer**
Again!
**[11:34] Todo**
Does this mean that
the Water of Life worked?
**[11:38] Todo**
Is your arm healed?
**[11:40] Sannan**
At the very least,
I am not inconvenienced by it.
**[11:44] Todo**
Then why pretend that you're dead?
**[11:47] Sannan**
Because I...
**[11:51] Sannan**
am no longer human.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Hijikata**
We can't let Ito and the others
find out about the Water of Life.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Todo**
So, you did this to hide it from Ito-san?
**[12:13] (Flashback) Sannan**
The research on the Water of Life is secret.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Sannan**
Forced out of my position by Ito-san's
arrival, I attempted to desert.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Sannan**
I was caught and committed ritual suicide.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Sannan**
Every soldier who doesn't know
the situation, including Ito-san,
**[12:28] (Flashback) Sannan**
will be given that explanation.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Kondo**
The fact that Sannan-san
drank the Water of Life
**[12:35] (Flashback) Kondo**
is something I plan to share only
with those I can trust absolutely.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Todo**
Sannan-san... are you
really all right with this?
**[12:52] (Flashback) Sannan**
As I am a successful example
of the medicine's use,
**[12:55] (Flashback) Sannan**
I plan to manage the other rasetsu.
**[13:05] Chizuru**
Welcome back.
**[13:07] Todo**
Kondo-san...
**[13:09] Todo**
He respects the shogunate, but...
**[13:14] Todo**
when it comes to that medicine,
I feel like they're just using him.
**[13:19] Todo**
I just can't accept that!
**[13:22] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[13:26] Todo**
Ito-san knows a lot about
governmental matters.
**[13:28] Todo**
I thought that if he joined, he'd guide
the company in a good direction.
**[13:35] Todo**
But...
**[13:39] Todo**
if it was Ito-san's fault that Sannan-san
drank the Water of Life, then...
**[13:45] Todo**
then it's my fault, too,
for bringing him here.
**[13:54] Chizuru**
But if we go back to the beginning...
**[14:00] Chizuru**
if my father... hadn't brought
that medicine here...
**[14:14] Sannan**
Are you wondering if I've gone crazy or not?
**[14:19] Hijikata**
The Water of Life isn't something
that humans should be toying with.
**[14:21] Sannan**
But the Water of Life can become
the Shinsengumi's secret weapon.
**[14:34] Sannan**
You know that, don't you?
**[14:41] Sannan**
The other day, when Lord Iemochi
proceeded to the capital,
**[14:43] Sannan**
we were entrusted with his protection.
**[14:45] Sannan**
The Shinsengumi have grown great in stature.
**[14:49] Sannan**
Just as you'd envisioned.
**[14:59] Sannan**
The Demon Vice-Commander should be thinking
**[15:03] Sannan**
about things much more important than me.

I'm sorry, Okita-san!
**[15:18] Chizuru**
There's something I must look into.
**[15:23] Chizuru**
Excuse me.
**[15:25] Chizuru**
A man with an Edo accent
who looks about forty,
**[15:29] Chizuru**
and he's a doctor
who practices Western medicine...
**[15:34] Okita**
I feel like I tell you all the time
not to go off and do things on your own.
**[15:39] Chizuru**
I'm sorry.
**[15:41] Chizuru**
I thought that a medicine shop
might know my father's whereabouts.
**[15:44] Okita**
I think searching in a panic like
that is pretty pointless.
**[15:48] Okita**
You've already looked thoroughly, after all.
**[16:00] Chizuru**
Okita-san?
**[16:01] Okita**
Stay back!
**[16:04] Okita**
Just stay there.
**[16:16] Chizuru**
Are you all right?
**[16:19] Okita**
What do you mean?
**[16:20] Chizuru**
What do I mean?
**[16:24] Okita**
Anyway... stop going off
and doing things on your own.
**[16:42] Okita**
Well, I've got things to do.

Wait, Soji.

I've devoted myself to the sword!
I've trained and trained!
**[17:17] Nagakura**
What d'you think of this body?
**[17:21] Todo**
Shinpachi, I think it's your head
you should have him take a look at.
**[17:24] Nagakura**
Huh?
**[17:25] Matsumoto**
Nagakura Shinpachi, healthy. Next!
**[17:28] Nagakura**
Wait, Doctor! Come on, really look!
**[17:31] Saito**
In an exam, the doctor looks at you.
It isn't about showing off for him.
**[17:35] Harada**
Shinpachi, the line's getting backed up.
Hurry up and finish already.

I, um...
**[18:20] Kondo**
When you came here,
you were looking for a person
**[18:23] Kondo**
you thought might know where Kodo-san was.
**[18:26] Kondo**
That person was Doctor Matsumoto, right?
***SIGN*** Matsumoto Ryojun

**[18:40] Matsumoto**
I'm sorry.
**[18:44] Matsumoto**
Unfortunately, I don't know
where Kodo-san is, either.
**[18:48] Chizuru**
I see...
**[19:04] Kondo**
Oh, Doctor. How did the exams go?
**[19:07] Matsumoto**
Well... About that...
**[19:10] Matsumoto**
From cuts to bowel pains,
**[19:12] Matsumoto**
the total number of injured and sick
is nearly a third of your men.
**[19:16] Matsumoto**
This place is like
a trade fair for illnesses!
**[19:19] Kondo**
It can't be...
**[19:20] Matsumoto**
Don't give me "it can't be," Kondo-san!
**[19:23] Matsumoto**
First, you need to clean up
the command post.
**[19:26] Saito**
Cleaning everything like
this feels very good.
**[19:29] Todo**

**[19:32] Todo**

**[19:34] ---**
Look! Look, mice!
**[19:37] Todo**
Sanosuke-san! Look!
**[19:40] Harada**
You! Stop it!
**[19:43] Saito**
Don't run rampant right after we've cleaned!
**[19:45] Saito**
You'll kick up dust!
**[19:50] Matsumoto**
I'll start with my conclusion.
**[19:53] Matsumoto**
You have pulmonary tuberculosis.
**[19:56] Okita**
Is it? I thought so.
**[19:58] Okita**
Well, that's a problem.
**[20:00] Matsumoto**
It's no laughing matter.
**[20:02] Matsumoto**
You must immediately quit
the Shinsengumi to convalesce.
**[20:04] Okita**
I can't do that.
**[20:06] Matsumoto**
If you don't, then one day you
won't even be able to get out of bed!
**[20:09] Okita**
Then, until that day, I'll cough up blood
and keep swinging my sword.
**[20:14] Matsumoto**
Why would you go so far?
**[20:17] Okita**
I am the Sword of the Shinsengumi.
**[20:20] Okita**
That is everything to me.
**[20:24] Okita**
Please don't tell Kondo-san.
**[20:26] Okita**
And please tell Hijikata-san it's just a cold.
**[20:33] Okita**
I beg this of you.
**[20:39] Matsumoto**
I suppose there are some things
that just can't be said.
**[20:43] Matsumoto**
I have something I couldn't
reveal to that girl.
**[20:47] Matsumoto**
I'd heard that Kodo-san was
with the Satsuma, but...
**[20:52] Matsumoto**
apparently he disappeared
from there, as well.
**[20:54] Matsumoto**
Perhaps he's no longer in this world.
**[21:02] Okita**
The world just doesn't work
the way we'd like it to, does it?
**[21:08] Matsumoto**
Well, I'll be going.
**[21:13] Okita**
Chizuru-chan, come on out.
It's all right now.
**[21:26] Okita**
You won't tell anyone, right?
**[21:31] Okita**
If you plan to tell someone...
**[21:33] Okita**
I might have to kill you.
**[21:39] Okita**
I'm joking.
**[21:43] Chizuru**
Okita-san.
**[21:46] Okita**
A sword... doesn't think, you see?
**[21:51] Okita**
It doesn't decide whether it should
or shouldn't cut down its opponent.
**[21:54] Okita**
If Kondo-san gives me an order,
**[21:55] Okita**
I'll cut down and kill anyone, no matter who.
**[21:58] Okita**
That is my role.
**[22:00] Okita**
That's the reason I'm here.
**[22:04] Okita**
If I stop being needed, I...
**[22:10] Okita**
I was wondering...
**[22:12] Okita**
What do you think of my hair?
**[22:15] Chizuru**
Huh? It... suits you.
**[22:17] Okita**
This is me imitating Kondo-san.
**[22:20] Chizuru**
Oh. Yes, the way you dress
your hair is the same.
**[22:23] Okita**
Keep it a secret from the others.
**[22:27] Okita**
So? Can you keep it a secret or can't you?
**[22:31] Chizuru**
Um, yes. I will keep it a secret.
**[22:36] Okita**
Chizuru-chan... You're nice
to everyone else and only cold to me.
**[22:41] Chizuru**
That's not true!
**[22:43] Okita**
You don't have to lie about it.
**[22:44] Chizuru**
It's not like that! I'm not lying.
**[22:51] Okita**
It's just a joke. No need to get so upset.
**[22:58] Okita**
Then, here's a reward
for keeping it a secret.
**[23:07] Okita**
Kondo-san gave it to me.
**[23:12] Okita**
Now, then.
**[23:18] Chizuru**
About your illness!
**[23:21] Chizuru**
I won't tell anyone about that, either.
**[23:24] Okita**
Thanks.
**[23:27] Okita**
And no giving up.
**[23:29] Okita**
About Kodo-san. Let's keep looking for him.

Thank you.

**[00:06] Kazama**
And that pure-blooded oni woman.
**[00:08] Kazama**
We cannot leave her among false oni forever.
**[00:13] Okita**
I'll cough up blood
and keep swinging my sword.
**[00:15] Chizuru**
Okita-san.
**[00:16] Okita**
A reward, for keeping it a secret.

I have created a few more successful cases.
**[00:35] Sannan**
I have put them under my command,
***SIGN*** Rasetsu Squad
**[00:42] Sannan**
and named them the rasetsu squad.
***SIGN*** Rasetsu Squad
Sannan Keisuke
Leader
**[00:48] Sannan**
The Shinsengumi have grown larger, however...
**[00:51] Sannan**
The Imperial Loyalists' movements
are likely to become more radical.
**[00:56] Sannan**
When that happens,
**[00:57] Sannan**
it's clear that the rasetsu will be
an even more necessary force.
**[01:02] Kondo**
Lord Aizu has great
expectations of us, but...
**[01:06] (Flashback) Matsumoto**
The plan involving
that medicine is a failure.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Matsumoto**
It would be best not to continue it.
**[01:12] (Flashback) Kondo**
But it's an order from the shogunate.
**[01:14] (Flashback) Kondo**
And it was wisdom granted to us
to help compensate for our lack of men.
**[01:18] (Flashback) Matsumoto**
It seems even the shogunate
has abandoned that plan.
**[01:24] (Flashback) Matsumoto**
That medicine isn't something
humans are able to handle.
**[01:29] Sannan**
Though those may be
the words of the shogun's doctor,
**[01:32] Sannan**
someone who isn't a soldier
has no right to interfere.
**[01:36] Kondo**
But, though this may seem to be successful,
**[01:39] Kondo**
it could be putting great stress on your body,
as Doctor Matsumoto—
**[01:41] Sannan**
I...
**[01:43] Sannan**
am in exceedingly good health.
**[01:49] Sannan**
If we have suppressed
the blood-seeking side effect,
**[01:52] Sannan**
then this should be something we can use.
**[01:57] Hijikata**
It's true that we need strength.
**[02:01] Kondo**
Toshi.
**[02:03] Hijikata**
Now that we are finally being acknowledged,
**[02:06] Hijikata**
making our presence known
is the most important thing.
**[02:09] Hijikata**
There's no mistake about that.
**[02:11] Sannan**
Exactly.
**[02:13] Sannan**
And the things we must be careful of...
**[02:17] Sannan**
do not lie only outside our company.
**[02:19] Sannan**
Even as they are members of the Shinsengumi,
**[02:21] Sannan**
there are those who repeatedly
criticize the shogunate.
**[02:26] Hijikata**
We've come this far...
**[02:28] Hijikata**
We aren't going to stop now.

**[02:53] Nagakura**
What is all this?
**[02:55] Nagakura**
Our troop's gotten huge,
**[02:57] Nagakura**
so I know things aren't like before. I do!
**[03:00] Nagakura**
But still...
**[03:01] Nagakura**
Just because we've known
each other for so long
**[03:03] Nagakura**
doesn't mean Hijikata-san should
treat us like this, right?
**[03:05] Nagakura**
Nagging and nagging over
little, stupid stuff...
**[03:08] Harada**
Hijikata-san must have a plan.
**[03:10] Nagakura**
And he doesn't say anything to Ito-san!
**[03:13] Nagakura**
That rat Ito's scurrying around,
gathering up allies.
**[03:16] Nagakura**
He needs to say something!
**[03:18] Nagakura**
How's he the "Demon Vice-Commander"?
**[03:20] Harada**
You've got a lot pent up, huh?
**[03:21] Nagakura**
And most of all!
**[03:23] Nagakura**
That medicine made
of who knows what, I just—
**[03:26] Harada**
Stop!
**[03:29] Harada**
Not here.
**[03:31] Nagakura**
Don't yell.
**[03:33] Nagakura**
I just want it to be more...
**[03:37] Nagakura**
You know, the people we've been comrades
with since forever. Right, Heisuke?
**[03:40] Harada**
He's not here.
**[03:42] Nagakura**
Why? Why isn't Heisuke here?
**[03:45] Harada**
Don't ask me!
**[03:46] Nagakura**
Heisuke should be here, right?
**[03:47] Harada**
Go say that to Heisuke!
**[03:50] Nagakura**
Blast it! He must be in Shimahara!
**[03:52] Nagakura**
Shimahara!
**[03:55] Harada**
He yells too much.
**[04:08] Ito**
It seems we're all here.
**[04:11] Sasabara**
Yes, sir.
**[04:29] Harada**
Shinpachi.
**[04:37] Saito**
What's wrong?
**[04:39] Chizuru**
Oh, nothing.
**[04:42] Saito**
Shinpachi is unhappy with the vice-commander,
who seems to have changed.
**[04:48] Saito**
It's true that, as the Shinsengumi have grown,
they have changed greatly.
**[04:53] Chizuru**
Is changing... a bad thing?
**[04:59] Saito**
Shinpachi was drawn to the commander
and vice-commander's personalities.
**[05:03] Saito**
He's been with them since they were in Edo.
**[05:06] Saito**
All the more reason he cannot
forgive them for having changed.
**[05:12] Saito**
And I, as well...
**[05:14] Saito**
If not for them being
the kind of men they are,
**[05:16] Saito**
I would not be here, as a warrior.
**[05:22] Saito**
I am something which should
not exist in this world,
**[05:23] Saito**
a swordsman who has strayed
from the true path, fighting left-handed.
**[05:26] Saito**
And though I'm like this,
**[05:28] Saito**
Hijikata-san acknowledged my
strength, even my abilities.
**[05:39] Chizuru**
I see.
**[05:45] Saito**
For me, there is only this.
**[05:47] Saito**
I will live and die by the sword.
**[05:50] Saito**
So I ask myself how I should live so that
I won't have regrets in my final moments.
**[05:55] Saito**
For me, that is the only question.
**[06:02] Saito**
Shinpachi is...
**[06:04] Saito**
He probably feels like the vice-commander
has changed as the company has grown.
**[06:08] Saito**
But the vice-commander has always changed
his thinking according to the situation at hand,
**[06:12] Saito**
and made the best choice he can.
**[06:13] Saito**
That's who he is.
**[06:15] Saito**
The Water of Life. He is more opposed
to it than anyone, but...
**[06:20] Saito**
if he denounces the Water of Life now...
**[06:23] Saito**
he would end up robbing Lt. Commander Sannan
of his reason for existing.
**[06:27] Saito**
That's why he accepts it and
tries to move forward in spite of it.
**[06:35] Saito**
No matter how much this
company may change...
**[06:39] Saito**
that man will never...
***SIGN*** September, Keio Year 2 (1866)
**[07:06] ---**
Kyoto Defense Force
Under the auspices of the Aizu
Shinsengumi Troop Headquarters
**[07:07] Kondo**
With Lord Iemochi's passing, the Choshu
have dealt a blow to the shogunate.
**[07:11] Kondo**
I'm sure you are all aware.
**[07:14] Kondo**
Perhaps as a result of that, the edict board
listing the crimes of the Choshu
**[07:17] Kondo**
which was posted on the Sanjo Ohashi Bridge
was torn down and thrown into the Kamo River.
**[07:21] Kondo**
The work of a band of scoundrels.
**[07:22] Kondo**
And so,
**[07:23] Kondo**
we, the Shinsengumi, have been given
an order to protect the edict boards.
**[07:28] Kondo**
Everyone, I hope you will
devote all your energies to this.
**[07:48] Chizuru**
Excuse me!
**[07:50] Chizuru**
About the next night patrol...
**[07:51] Chizuru**
would it make things
difficult if I were to join?
**[07:54] Saito**
Don't.
**[07:55] Saito**
Night patrols incur considerable risk.
**[07:58] Chizuru**
Yes, you're right.
**[08:05] Harada**
Chizuru.
**[08:07] Chizuru**
Yes?
**[08:12] Harada**
There's something
I wanted to talk to you about.
**[08:21] Nagakura**
Sano.
**[08:23] Nagakura**
You really did a great thing...
**[08:25] Nagakura**
saying you want to treat everyone
to some good food!
**[08:28] Okita**
If you want to praise him,
**[08:29] Okita**
you should be talking about
how he protected the edict boards.
**[08:31] Nagakura**
Well, that's a given.
**[08:33] Harada**
I never imagined there'd be a monetary
reward for the thing with the boards.
**[08:36] Todo**
Today, I'm gonna drink
as much as I want thanks to you!
**[08:40] Okita**
Though it's not like all of us
can drink alcohol.
**[08:45] Todo**
Hey! It's Chizuru!
**[08:46] Nagakura**
Hey! All right!
**[08:48] Nagakura**
Today, all of us with no restraint
are gonna drink with no restraint!
**[08:51] Nagakura**
Huh? Where's Saito?
**[08:54] Saito**
Here.
**[08:55] Nagakura**
What's this? You got here before us?
**[08:58] Nagakura**
Just how eager are you
to get drinking? You little...
**[09:01] Todo**
Come on. Let's go, Shinpachi-san!
**[09:03] Nagakura**
Yeah!
**[09:09] Harada**
Is everything ready?
**[09:10] Chizuru**
We're ready.
**[09:12] Harada**
Good.
**[09:20] Nagakura**
Let's get to drinking!
**[09:26] Nagakura**
Oh...
**[09:28] Nagakura**
Huh?
**[09:31] Nagakura**
Hey, wait!
**[09:33] Nagakura**
Huh?
**[09:35] Nagakura**
What?
**[09:38] Hijikata**
Just give up.
**[09:40] Hijikata**
The two of us have been caught in a trap.
**[09:45] Hijikata**
They must want us to have an
honest, heart-to-heart talk.
**[09:47] Hijikata**
I was brought here by Saito and Yukimura.
**[10:08] Hijikata**
You don't like the way
I'm doing things, right?
**[10:16] Nagakura**
It's sort of...
**[10:19] Nagakura**
It's not like we're good with words...
**[10:23] Nagakura**
and we don't know anyone important.
**[10:26] Nagakura**
But...
**[10:28] Nagakura**
the reason the Shinsengumi
have grown this much
**[10:31] Nagakura**
is because we've fought, ready to die!
**[10:36] Nagakura**
And yet...
**[10:40] Hijikata**
I'm sorry.
**[10:46] Hijikata**
I didn't want to be nice to all of you
**[10:48] Hijikata**
and give others the chance
to say stupid things
**[10:51] Hijikata**
about my relying only on the veterans.
**[10:56] Hijikata**
I'm sorry for going too
far in what I've said.
**[11:08] Nagakura**
And I...
**[11:11] Nagakura**
I've been sulky... and even childish.
**[11:19] Nagakura**
I'm sorry.
**[11:24] Harada**
Thank you.
**[11:30] Nagakura**
All right! Tonight, let's drink
to our heart's content!
**[11:33] Nagakura**
Hey! Let's order something weak
that even Hijikata-san can drink!
**[11:38] Hijikata**
No one asked for that kind of consideration!
**[11:40] Hijikata**
It's not that I can't drink.
It's that I don't drink, that's all.
**[11:53] Saito**
Hey, Shinpachi.
**[11:54] Todo**
Shinpachi-san!
**[12:00] Nagakura**
Heisuke! Heisuke!
**[12:09] Nagakura**
Hey, Saito!
**[12:09] Todo**
Hajime-kun, you come up here, too!
**[12:13] Todo**
You're hopeless!
**[12:14] Nagakura**
Hey, Sano. You ready for this?
**[12:17] Harada**
I guess I'll do it.
**[12:22] geiko**
Well done!
**[12:25] Harada**
All right.
**[12:26] Todo**
Sano-san!
**[12:30] Nagakura**
I like it!
**[12:51] Nagakura**
This is great!
**[13:05] Nagakura**
It's because of stuff like this
that I just can't give up.
**[13:12] Nagakura**
If Kondo-san and Hijikata-san had
changed after becoming all important,
**[13:16] Nagakura**
then I'd be able to leave
the company with no regrets.
**[13:24] Nagakura**
It'd be nice if we could always be together.
**[13:27] Nagakura**
All of us, like this.
**[13:30] Saito**
It would.
**[13:34] Todo**
What're you getting all
quiet for, Shinpachi-san?
**[13:37] Todo**
Could it be you're low on alcohol?
**[13:40] Nagakura**
What are you saying, Heisuke?
**[13:42] Nagakura**
Right, this means a challenge, you jerk!
**[13:46] Harada**
Let me join in, too!
**[13:47] Todo**
Hey, Sano-san!
**[14:08] Hijikata**
What are you just standing there for?
**[14:19] Hijikata**
They just never change.
**[14:23] Hijikata**
Back when we were just running
a destitute training hall in Edo,
**[14:26] Hijikata**
if a little money came in,
they'd go drinking like that.
**[14:30] Hijikata**
And they'd say that they weren't going
to let things end the way they were.
**[14:36] Chizuru**
To think you had times like that...
It's difficult to imagine.
**[14:42] Hijikata**
I think the same sometimes.
**[14:45] Hijikata**
I was a peddler, carrying
a box full of medicines,
**[14:48] Hijikata**
and now I carry a pair of swords,
serving the shogunate.
**[14:53] Hijikata**
And I wonder...
**[14:56] Hijikata**
All this time, could it be that I'm just
having a long, happy dream?
**[15:06] (Flashback) Kondo**
Do you think I can do it?
**[15:08] (Flashback) Kondo**
To be remembered as a warrior,
**[15:12] (Flashback) Kondo**
when I'm only the son of a peasant.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Hijikata**
You can.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Hijikata**
These are the words of a man
who is enamored of you to his very core.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Hijikata**
Trust them, just once.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Hijikata**
I promise...
**[15:25] (Flashback) Hijikata**
I will raise you to a place that befits you.
**[15:32] (Flashback) Kondo**
Together. Right?
**[15:38] Hijikata**
We're almost there.
**[15:41] Hijikata**
Just a little further, and Kondo-san will...
**[15:43] Hijikata**
And if it's for that purpose, I'd do...
**[15:46] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san.
**[15:49] Hijikata**
Back then... I made him a promise.
**[15:53] Hijikata**
If it's for the Shinsengumi...
**[15:55] Hijikata**
If it's for Kondo-san, then I...
**[15:58] Hijikata**
I would do anything, no matter how wrong.
**[16:01] Hijikata**
I would even become a demon from hell!
**[16:10] Hijikata**
It seems I've had
a little too much to drink.
***SIGN*** Residence of the Satsuma Domain
**[16:18] Ito**
The shogunate and the Shinsengumi both...
**[16:22] Ito**
They will be left behind by the times.
**[16:29] Ito**
And the ones who will move the times are...
**[16:37] Satsuma warrior**
Ito, to have someone like you
as an ally is very reassuring.
**[16:47] Satsuma warrior**
The Shinsengumi are only a bunch of
peasants gathered together, after all.
**[16:50] Satsuma warrior**
A trash heap like that
doesn't suit you, Ito-san.
**[17:00] Ito**
And you two...
**[17:04] Ito**
You aren't from Satsuma, are you?
**[17:09] Satsuma warrior**
Their background is a little unusual.
**[17:14] Satsuma warrior**
By the way, there are some strange
rumors going around about the Shinsengumi.
**[17:20] Satsuma warrior**
Do you know anything about those?
**[17:25] Kazama**
Humans have a deep liking for lies,
betrayal, and pillaging, don't they?
**[17:31] Kazama**
It's enough to make this warrior laugh.
**[17:37] Kazama**
I think it's time we give our greetings.

I will leave here with those of a like mind,

and we will be appointed to guard
the tomb of Emperor Komei as the Goryo-eishi.
**[18:01] Ito**
I, Ito...
**[18:03] Ito**
joined the Shinsengumi out of
a heartfelt devotion to the emperor.
**[18:08] Ito**
However...
**[18:09] Ito**
the Shinsengumi, as they are now,
favor the shogunate too heavily.
**[18:14] Ito**
As it stands...
**[18:15] Hijikata**
Enough rationalizations.
**[18:16] Hijikata**
Basically, you're saying
we'll split the company?
**[18:21] Ito**
The top officers appear to be hiding things.
**[18:28] Ito**
It affects morale.
**[18:31] Kondo**
Hiding things?
**[18:34] Ito**
They say...
**[18:36] Ito**
that you repeatedly perform
experiments which defy humanity...
**[18:41] Ito**
for example.
**[18:50] Ito**
It appears you would like me
to hold my tongue.
**[18:56] Ito**
I would like to leave this place.
**[18:59] Ito**
So...
**[19:02] Ito**
as I am leaving, I ask that you
spare me some of the men.
**[19:08] Ito**
Only as a sign of our friendship.
**[19:17] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun and Saito-san both?
**[19:19] Inoue**
They said they'd go with Ito-san.
**[19:22] Inoue**
It's possible...
**[19:23] Inoue**
that we'll have to fight
against them as enemies one day.
**[19:58] Todo**
I had a feeling I might get caught.
**[20:03] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun.
**[20:09] Todo**
This isn't something I decided recently.
**[20:14] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[20:15] Todo**
You know, I...
**[20:17] Todo**
I don't think Ito-san
is as wrong as people say.
**[20:22] Todo**
Just like Ito-san says,
**[20:24] Todo**
if we keep doing what the shogunate
tells us to, then... I feel that way, too.
**[20:34] Todo**
And that medicine... It just isn't right.
**[20:42] Todo**
I wonder if Sano-san and
Shinpachi-san are angry, too.
**[20:46] Todo**
They must be furious.
**[20:50] Todo**
I just can't face them.
**[20:57] Todo**
I'm sorry.
**[20:59] Todo**
For not being able to stay
with you until you find your father.
**[21:13] Todo**
Sorry.
**[21:15] Todo**
I'm gonna go on ahead.
**[21:32] Saito**
If you have something to say,
hurry up and say it.
**[21:39] Chizuru**
You're leaving too, Saito-san?
**[21:43] Saito**
I believe I told you.
**[21:45] Saito**
How should I live so that I can go
to the other world with no regrets?
**[21:48] Saito**
That is the only question I have.
**[21:52] Saito**
If it's to stay true to one's will, then one
should not concern oneself with feelings.
**[21:59] Chizuru**
I...
**[22:02] Chizuru**
I just don't understand.
**[22:20] Saito**
How many times has it been, I wonder...
**[22:23] Saito**
How many times have I seen the cherry
blossoms bloom in the capital?
**[22:28] Saito**
As time passes, many things change.
**[22:32] Saito**
The way the world moves, ideology...
**[22:36] Saito**
and the Shinsengumi, too.
**[22:41] Chizuru**
And because it's changed...
you're leaving this place?
**[22:48] Chizuru**
Saito-san, haven't you changed, too?
**[22:51] Saito**
Even so.
**[22:54] Saito**
It doesn't mean that everything will change.
**[23:00] Saito**
As time passes, some things change,
but others stay the same.
**[23:04] Saito**
And I...
**[23:13] Saito**
I believe in those things
which stay the same.
**[23:22] Chizuru**
Things that stay the same...

I think it's time we give our greetings.
**[00:12] Kondo**
The Goryo-eishi.
**[00:13] Hijikata**
You're saying we'll split the company?
**[00:14] Inoue**
They said they'd go with Ito-san.
**[00:16] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun and Saito-san both?
***SIGN*** June, Keio Year 3 (1867)
Residence of the Military Commissioner of Kyoto
**[00:27] Kondo**
We most humbly accept.
**[00:42] Hijikata**
With this, we are officially vassals
to the house of the shogun.
**[00:45] Hijikata**
We are members of the shogunate.
**[00:48] Kondo**
Serving directly under the shogun...
**[00:51] Kondo**
Me, the son of peasants.
**[00:54] Hijikata**
This position befits you,
and you gained it through your own skills.
**[00:59] Kondo**
It wasn't my abilities alone.
**[01:03] Kondo**
It was everyone...
**[01:08] Kondo**
It was thanks to you.
**[01:10] (Flashback) Hijikata**
I promise...
**[01:13] (Flashback) Hijikata**
I will raise you to a place that befits you.
**[01:19] (Flashback) Kondo**
Together. Right?
**[01:27] Kondo**
Finally...
**[01:29] Kondo**
We've finally made it.
**[01:32] Kondo**
We've become true warriors.
**[01:36] Hijikata**
Why are you speaking as though this is over?
**[01:38] Hijikata**
We're only getting started.
**[01:41] Hijikata**
Becoming true warriors
is just the beginning.
**[01:44] Kondo**
Yes.
**[01:45] Hijikata**
I'm going to raise you
to an even higher position.
**[02:03] Aizu warrior**
Peasants as mock vassals under the shogun.

What is it? Is it Kodo-san?

We're forbidden to interact
with the Goryo-eishi.
**[03:15] Harada**
Do you suppose everything is
doomed to break one day?
**[03:23] Harada**
A truly unbreakable relationship
may not exist in this world.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Kondo**
Listen, Soji...
**[03:48] (Flashback) Kondo**
Breathe in deeply through your nose,
**[03:51] (Flashback) Kondo**
and store it in a point
right below your navel.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Kondo**
Use it along with your shout,
and like a sudden explosion...
**[03:57] (Flashback) Kondo**
Ha!
**[04:00] (Flashback) Kondo**
Try it.
**[04:01] (Flashback) Okita**
Yes, sir!
**[04:15] Okita**
Was it always this heavy?
**[04:30] (Flashback) Nagakura**
Time to eat!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Todo**
Hey! What are you doing?

It's the age of survival of the fittest!

What? Stop right there!
**[04:38] (Flashback) Nagakura**
If you want to eat, come and get it!
**[04:54] Sannan**
Won't Kondo-san or Hijikata-san
scold you for leaving your room?
**[05:02] Sannan**
With Saito-kun and Todo-kun gone,
**[05:05] Sannan**
are you worried about
the Shinsengumi's fighting strength?
**[05:10] Okita**
I don't have any ambitions.
**[05:14] Okita**
If it's for Kondo-san, I'll cut down
anything without hesitation.
**[05:21] Okita**
But, since all I do is lie around...
How long do you think they'll let me be?
**[05:27] Okita**
Now that I can't fight...
**[05:29] Okita**
How long will they let me stay
in the Shinsengumi... with everyone.
**[05:38] Sannan**
You can stay forever.
**[05:49] Sannan**
If you so wish it...
**[05:54] Sannan**
Forever.
**[05:57] Sannan**
After all, the Water of Life can
only be used while life still exists.
**[06:14] Okita**
If I can't move around during the day,
**[06:17] Okita**
I wouldn't be able to go on patrols,
**[06:19] Okita**
and it would cause problems
for Kondo-san, so...
**[06:27] Sannan**
I see.
**[06:30] Okita**
I just... wanted to see your face, Sannan-san.
**[06:36] Okita**
Having Matsumoto-sensei's medicine
and Ishida's powders is enough for me.
**[06:46] Okita**
Please don't tell Kondo-san
that I came here.
**[06:51] Okita**
Or Hijikata-san, either.
**[06:54] Sannan**
Of course.
**[06:56] Okita**
I don't want them to worry more
because of something like this.
**[07:40] rasetsu**
Give me your blood!
**[07:53] Hijikata**
Sannan-san, what is going on?
**[07:55] Hijikata**
He's completely blood-crazed!
**[07:56] Sannan**
I don't...
**[08:02] Sannan**
Yukimura-kun! Are you all right?
**[08:05] Chizuru**
I'm fine.
**[08:06] Chizuru**
Thank you.
**[08:15] Hijikata**
Get back, Yukimura!
**[08:18] Chizuru**
Sannan-san!
**[08:55] Hijikata**
Wait, Soji.
**[09:21] Sannan**
I...
**[09:24] Sannan**
What was I...
**[09:34] Yamazaki**
Vice-Commander!
**[09:36] Yamazaki**
It's an emergency.
**[10:02] Shimada**
Yukimura-kun!
**[10:04] Shimada**
Rebels have breached the perimeter.
**[10:05] Shimada**
Please return to your room.
**[10:17] Kazama**
Hmm... It seems you
aren't so dense after all.
**[10:22] Shimada**
Stay back.
**[10:33] Kazama**
I have come to welcome you...
**[10:35] Kazama**
You who will become my wife, oni woman.
**[10:45] Harada**
You were at Ikedaya...
**[10:47] Nagakura**
How'd you get in here?
**[10:51] Shiranui**
Obstacles built by humans
hold no meaning for me.
**[10:56] Kazama**
You are kindred, noble,
a pure-blooded oni woman.
**[11:00] Kazama**
A nest of fakes like this
doesn't suit you at all.
**[11:04] Chizuru**
Oni?
**[11:06] Chizuru**
Are you teasing me?
**[11:08] Kazama**
One wouldn't think you
were an average human...
**[11:11] Kazama**
given how quickly your wounds heal. Right?
**[11:14] Chizuru**
How do you...
**[11:17] Chizuru**
Only my father knows that.
**[11:20] Kazama**
Father?
**[11:22] Kazama**
Do you mean Yukimura Kodo?
**[11:26] Chizuru**
You know my father?
**[11:30] Kazama**
I see.
**[11:35] Kazama**
You would point a blade
at he who will become your husband?
**[11:38] Kazama**
It seems you need to be taught some manners!
**[11:43] Kazama**
Allow me to tell you that I do not
require permission to take you away.
**[11:46] Chizuru**
You...
**[11:48] Kazama**
Oni women are precious.
**[11:50] Kazama**
Come with me.
**[11:55] Kazama**
If you come with me,
you'll understand everything.
**[12:06] Shiranui**
You went with brute force?
**[12:07] Kazama**
If we stay here, we will be
caught up in the humans' misfortune.
**[12:16] Hijikata**
What are you planning to do with her?
**[12:18] Kazama**
This is a problem among us oni.
**[12:21] Kazama**
You lot are incapable
understanding her worth.
**[12:24] Kazama**
That is why we are taking her back with us.
**[12:28] Hijikata**
Those which the Shinsengumi
have once undertaken to protect,
**[12:32] Hijiakata**
cannot be handed over so easily!
**[12:36] Kazama**
Very well.
**[12:40] Kazama**
You will never again be able to interfere...
**[12:43] Kazama**
once you have tasted
the difference in our strengths.
**[12:49] Hijikata**
Blather all you like!
**[12:58] Kazama**
You are only a dog of the shogunate,
relying on the strength of fakes.
**[13:30] Kazama**
Why would you defend a human?
**[13:32] Kazama**
You're an oni!
**[13:36] Chizuru**
I... am not an oni...
**[13:46] Kazama**
No matter how much you may deny it...
**[13:55] Kazama**
Come with me.
**[13:57] Chizuru**
I...
**[14:00] Hijikata**
Where do you think you're looking?
**[14:04] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san!
**[14:06] Hijikata**
We're known as the Miburo,
the Wolves of Mibu, and this is our den.
**[14:09] Hijikata**
There were never any decent
humans here to begin with.
**[14:11] Kazama**
Take your filthy hand off her.
**[14:16] Kazama**
That woman belongs to me.
**[14:18] Hijikata**
She...
**[14:21] Hijikata**
is under the care of the Shinsengumi.
**[14:23] Hijikata**
Don't you touch her!
**[14:28] Kazama**
Yukimura Chizuru.
**[14:31] Kazama**
The pitiful sight of those false
oni created by that medicine...
**[14:37] Kazama**
You've seen them, have you not?
**[14:40] Kazama**
They make something like that just
to have a name for themselves...
**[14:43] Kazama**
And you would stay with them?
**[14:46] Kazama**
Do you think that is right?
**[14:50] Chizuru**
The experiments with that medicine...
**[14:53] Chizuru**
My father brought those about.
**[14:59] Chizuru**
As his daughter, I cannot ignore them.
**[15:08] Chizuru**
I will not go with you. Please leave!
**[15:28] Shiranui**
To think I'd see Kazama get turned down.
**[15:31] Kazama**
I'm only granting her a deferment
until she comes to her senses.
**[15:36] Kazama**
Let's go.
**[15:38] Shiranui**
Sure thing.
**[15:43] Kazama**
A word of advice.
**[15:46] Kazama**
Stop turning simple humans into false oni.
**[15:50] Amagiri**
They are failures which you do not
have the capacity to deal with.
**[15:55] Amagiri**
There is no way to remedy
the symptoms of their sudden breaking.
**[16:00] Amagiri**
No matter what you do.
**[16:04] Hijikata**
You've got no right to tell us anything.
**[16:08] Amagiri**
Very soon, we will erase ourselves
from human history.
**[16:13] Amagiri**
And when we do, the rasetsu will,
of course, be included.
**[16:17] Amagiri**
Yukimura Chizuru.
**[16:19] Amagiri**
You will be, too.
**[16:26] Kazama**
Oni and humans are incompatible.
**[16:29] Kazama**
All the false ones will be eliminated.
**[16:33] Kazama**
Remember that.
**[16:49] Chizuru**
I'll switch with you.
**[16:56] Yamazaki**
Yukimura-kun, water please.
**[16:58] Chizuru**
Right away.
**[17:04] Kondo**
She's... an oni?
**[17:08] Hijikata**
I understand wanting to doubt it,
but seeing her ability, so like a rasetsu's...
**[17:13] Hijikata**
being told she's an oni makes more sense.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Kazama**
Why would you defend a human?
**[17:25] (Flashback) Kazama**
You're an oni!
**[17:27] (Flashback) Kazama**
Come with me.
**[17:38] Sannan**
The reason I returned to my senses...
**[17:46] Sannan**
It really must have been...
**[18:00] Chizuru**
It's Yukimura.
**[18:01] Chizuru**
I've brought some tea.
**[18:04] Hijikata**
Come in.
**[18:19] Hijikata**
Sorry, just leave it anywhere.
**[18:21] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[18:47] Hijikata**
What are you doing?
**[18:49] Chizuru**
Oh, nothing.
**[18:51] Hijikata**
In that case, hurry up and leave.
**[18:53] Hijikata**
I have no time to entertain you.
**[18:57] Chizuru**
Isn't your hair in the way?
**[19:03] Hijikata**
It is.
**[19:07] Hijikata**
Now that we're under the shogun,
there's more detailed work to be done.
**[19:09] Hijikata**
I can't spare the effort to tie it back.
**[19:13] Chizuru**
If you're not opposed to the idea,
shall I put it up for you?
**[19:20] Hijikata**
I don't like people messing with my hair.
**[19:24] Chizuru**
I'm sorry.
**[19:30] Hijikata**
I will accept your thoughtfulness alone.
**[19:42] Hijikata**
Now I can focus on my work.
**[19:44] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[19:49] Hijikata**
Since you're here, talk.
**[19:54] Hijikata**
You have something you want
to talk to me about, don't you?
**[19:59] Hijikata**
We've been together so long, I can tell
that much just looking at your face.
**[20:04] Hijikata**
What's happened?
**[20:13] Chizuru**
Is... Is it all right
for me to stay here like this?
**[20:19] Chizuru**
If I'm here, they'll come again!
**[20:22] Hijikata**
I will not allow you to leave here.
**[20:26] Hijikata**
You know too much.
**[20:30] Chizuru**
I suppose so.
**[20:32] Hijikata**
Besides, it isn't your fault
we were attacked.
**[20:37] Hijikata**
The fact that we weren't able to deal
with the enemy is our problem.
**[20:42] Hijikata**
And you...
**[20:43] Hijikata**
Back then, you raised
your blade against him.
**[20:48] Hijikata**
You fought alongside us.
**[20:52] Hijikata**
That's more than enough
reason for you to be here.
**[21:03] Chizuru**
Thank you!

Starting today, Saito will be
reinstated in the Shinsengumi.
**[22:08] Kondo**
Saito-kun, under Toshi's command,
**[22:10] Kondo**
lay hidden within Ito's faction as a spy.
**[22:15] Saito**
Ito and the others are taking actions which
are clearly hostile toward the Shinsengumi.
**[22:19] Saito**
They have joined hands with Satsuma,
**[22:20] Saito**
and to cause the fall of the shogunate,
**[22:22] Saito**
they are planning to reveal
the existence of the rasetsu.
**[22:25] Hijikata**
They've grown desperate in their search
to find fault with the shogunate.
**[22:30] Kondo**
It seems the Satsuma want to use
this war to bring down the shogunate.
**[22:35] Saito**
Ito, with his status as a former
member of the Shinsengumi,
**[22:38] Saito**
feels a sense of inferiority
among the Satsuma.
**[22:40] Saito**
If he is able to crush the Shinsengumi,
a part of the shogunate itself...
**[22:44] Saito**
he seems to believe that he will
instantly make a name for himself.
**[22:47] Hijikata**
Sakamoto of the Tosa has only
just been assassinated,
**[22:50] Hijikata**
but it seems that Ito has been going
around saying that we're the perpetrators.
**[22:55] Saito**
And...
**[22:57] Saito**
there is one more pressing problem.
**[23:00] Saito**
Ito's faction...
**[23:03] Saito**
is planning the assassination
of the commander of the Shinsengumi.
**[23:10] Okita**

**[23:15] Hijikata**

**[23:18] Hijikata**
That man will die.

And we will cut down
everyone in the Goryo-eishi.
**[23:31] Hijikata**
The units will be led

**[23:34] Hijikata**
The Goryo-eishi end here.
**[23:42] Chizuru**
What about Heisuke-kun?
**[23:44] Chizuru**
The Goryo-eishi's Heisuke-kun...

If he defies us, we'll cut him down.

The Goryo-eishi's Heisuke-kun...
What will you do about him?
**[00:52] Hijikata**
If he defies us, we'll cut him down.
**[01:01] Hijikata**
I will tell you the plan in due course.
**[01:05] Chizuru**
Wait, please!
**[01:07] Chizuru**
But... Heisuke-kun is a friend,
someone who spent so much time with us...
**[01:23] Chizuru**
Someone who's left the company...
**[01:25] Chizuru**
isn't a comrade anymore, so...
**[01:31] Chizuru**
it doesn't matter if they die?
**[01:33] Chizuru**
Is that what he's saying?
**[01:34] Kondo**
Of course not!
**[01:39] Kondo**
Even Toshi, in his heart...
**[01:42] Kondo**
After issuing an order to kill a friend...
**[01:47] Kondo**
Of course he's not all right!
**[01:54] Chizuru**
I'm very sorry.
**[02:03] Kondo**
No... Heisuke is much loved.
**[02:13] Kondo**
I ask this not as your commander,
but as Kondo Isami.
**[02:19] Kondo**
Heisuke... Can't you please just let him go?
**[02:25] Kondo**
If it's possible, I want you to convince
him to come back to the company.
**[02:29] Kondo**
I beg of you!
**[02:32] Harada**
We understand.
**[02:36] Harada**
So does Hijikata-san.
**[02:40] Harada**
I'm sure that's why he picked us.
**[02:45] Okita**
Hijikata-san.
**[02:50] Okita**
Who should I cut down?
**[02:56] Hijikata**
You should sleep.
You're not feeling well, right?
**[03:02] Okita**
We're going to assassinate
those who plan to kill Kondo-san,
**[03:05] Okita**
but you're not giving me a place to shine.
**[03:12] Okita**
I resent this, Hijikata-san.

Whether I drink the Water of Life or not,
what I must do would remain the same:
**[04:06] Saito**
use this katana to cut down the enemy.
Then, one day, fall to the sword.
**[04:10] Saito**
That is all.
**[04:14] Okita**

**[04:47] Saito**
I look forward to the day
when we can once again cross swords.
**[05:04] Yamazaki**
Yukimura-kun.
**[05:08] Yamazaki**
Do you have a moment?
**[05:11] Yamazaki**
Okita-san is ill. You know
about it, don't you?
**[05:18] (Flashback) Chizuru**
About your illness!
**[05:21] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I won't tell anyone about that, either.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Okita**
Thanks.
**[05:28] Chizuru**
No. I don't know anything.
**[05:34] Yamazaki**
In that case, it's fine.
**[05:36] Yamazaki**
I have one request.
**[05:39] Yamazaki**
If I am ever rendered unable
to move through my work here,
**[05:41] Yamazaki**
and anything should happen...
**[05:43] Yamazaki**
I want you to read this and use it
to nurse the top officers and the troops.

But... is it all right to leave it to me?
**[06:19] Chizuru**
With everyone's treatments recorded,
won't Hijikata-san object to this?
**[06:24] Yamazaki**
This is...
**[06:27] Yamazaki**
an order from the vice-commander.
**[06:29] Yamazaki**
We can't ask it of anyone else.
**[06:31] Yamazaki**
You're the only one we trust
who is knowledgeable in medicine.
**[06:36] Yamazaki**
Can I ask this of you?
**[06:40] Chizuru**
Yes. Please allow me to help
to the best of my meager abilities.
***SIGN*** November 18th, Keio Year 3 (1867)
**[07:11] Yamazaki**
Excuse me.
**[07:13] Yamazaki**
Ito has been successfully assassinated.
**[07:15] Yamazaki**
Just as the Vice-Commander planned,
**[07:16] Yamazaki**
we've left the corpse
at the Shijo-Aburanokoji intersection
**[07:18] Yamazaki**
to lure in the Goryo-eishi.
**[07:20] Hijikata**
All right.
**[07:21] Hijikata**
Yamazaki, return to Aburakoji
and keep watch on the situation.
**[07:24] Shimada**
Vice-Commander!
**[07:33] Hijikata**
At a time like this...
**[07:46] Hijikata**
Gen-san, Shimada, stay here
at the command post and gather the troops.
**[07:48] Hijikata**
Search the grounds.
If you find Kazama, send word to me.
**[07:51] Inoue**
Understood!
**[07:51] Shimada**
Sir!
**[07:55] Hijikata**
And you, don't leave my side.
**[07:58] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[08:02] Sasabara**
Master Ito!
**[08:06] Sasabara**
Master Ito...
**[08:09] Sasabara**
Hurry!
**[08:10] soldiers**
Sir!
**[08:26] Sasabara**
So it was you lot who did this...
**[08:32] Sasabara**
What are you doing, Todo?
**[08:34] Sasabara**
Draw your sword!
**[08:37] Sasabara**
Todo!
**[08:39] Todo**
What am I supposed to do
with something like this?
**[08:44] Todo**
I thought if I followed Ito-san,
he'd lead us in the right direction.
**[08:50] Todo**
And that crazy medicine...
**[08:53] Todo**
I thought no more of my friends
would have to be sacrificed to it!
**[08:57] Todo**
But...
**[09:01] Todo**
It's all out of control.
**[09:06] Todo**
I realized that lately,
all I've thought about
**[09:09] Todo**
is my time with the Shinsengumi.
**[09:15] Todo**
All I've remembered are the good times...
**[09:21] Todo**
I...
**[09:26] Harada**
Heisuke...
**[09:35] Sasabara**
You rat...
**[09:37] Todo**
This is all wrong!
**[09:40] Todo**
Setting up Sano-san as Sakamoto's killer!
**[09:43] Todo**
Doubting Satsuma
and trying to kill Kondo-san!
**[09:46] Todo**
It's wrong, no matter
how you think about it!
**[09:50] Todo**
I've thought about it,
and I think it's all crazy.
**[09:57] Shiranui**
Oh, that's enough already.
**[09:59] Shiranui**
We've had our fill of the sob story.
**[10:01] Harada**
Why are you guys here?
**[10:02] Shiranui**
Hurry up and crush each other.
**[10:13] Sasabara**
Why has the Satsuma faction surrounded us?
**[10:16] Sasabara**
Is this a betrayal?
**[10:18] Amagiri**
The Satsuma have never been
the allies of the Goryo-eishi.
**[10:23] Amagiri**
Our goal is the removal of all who
obstruct our attack on the shogunate.
**[10:27] Nagakura**
You meant for us to clash
with the Goryo-eishi so it'd crush us both?
**[10:32] Harada**
We thought we'd trapped the Goryo-eishi,
**[10:34] Harada**
but it looks like we're
the ones caught in a trap!
**[10:47] Todo**
Guess I've got no choice. I'll help you out.
**[10:49] Nagakura**
Took you long enough to make up
your mind, you complete idiot!
**[10:54] Harada**
It's been a while since the three of us
fought with each other like this!
**[11:01] Yamazaki**
Vice-Commander!
**[11:02] Yamazaki**
It's an emergency.
**[11:03] Yamazaki**
Nagakura-san and the others,
and the Goryo-eishi,
**[11:05] Yamazaki**
have been interrupted and besieged.
**[11:07] Yamazaki**
I believe it to be the Satsuma.
**[11:12] Yamazaki**
We need anyone who can move to
be sent as reinforcements.
**[11:13] Hijikata**
No. Since Kazama showed up,
we can't spare anyone to go and assist.
**[11:19] Chizuru**
Then what will happen
to everyone at Aburanokoji?
**[11:21] Shimada**
Vice-Commander!
**[11:23] Shimada**
We've found Kazama.
**[11:47] Harada**
Against these numbers,
even retreating to the command post is...
**[11:49] Harada**
We have to hold out
until reinforcements arrive!
**[11:51] Nagakura**
Don't think you'll beat us
with just your numbers!
**[11:56] Nagakura**
Starting with any of you
who want to die, come at me!
**[12:07] Saito**
Sorry I'm late.
**[12:08] Nagakura**
Right! We should be able to
make a path to retreat now.
**[12:13] Todo**
Shinpachi-san, without me,
you're just way too awful.
**[12:21] Nagakura**
Heisuke!
**[12:26] Chizuru**
Sannan-san!
**[12:28] Kazama**
It's taken you quite a while.
**[12:31] Chizuru**
Are you all right?
**[12:42] Kazama**
Remember this.
**[12:43] Kazama**
This is the fate of the impostors.
**[12:49] Nagakura**
Yamazaki!
**[12:51] Nagakura**
Anyone!
**[12:52] Nagakura**
Get a doctor! It's Heisuke!
**[12:55] Nagakura**
Don't you die! Don't you die, Heisuke!
**[12:58] Harada**
Heisuke!
**[12:59] Nagakura**
Heisuke!
**[13:01] Nagakura**
I'm gonna kill you, understand?!
**[13:04] Kazama**
Today, I was simply here to buy time.
**[13:07] Kazama**
It was the wish of the faction
to whom I lend my aid.
**[13:11] Kazama**
Now that it's done,
I have no reason to stay longer.
**[13:22] Nagakura**
Heisuke, hang in there!
**[13:26] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun!
**[13:32] Todo**
I messed up.
**[13:33] Harada**
Idiot! Stop talking!
**[13:35] Chizuru**
It's not as bad as it looks, is it?
**[13:38] Yamazaki**
This is... beyond our help.
**[13:45] Nagakura**
Heisuke! Stay strong!
**[13:49] Chizuru**
No! Heisuke-kun!
**[13:53] Todo**
This is so pathetic.
**[14:00] Todo**
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
**[14:09] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun!
**[14:11] Sannan**
If there is nothing that can be done,
**[14:14] Sannan**
then please, entrust it to me
and leave this place.
**[14:19] Nagakura**
You can't be serious.
**[14:21] Nagakura**
If Yamazaki can't do anything,
then... Hey! Anyone!
**[14:24] Nagakura**
Please, get Matsumoto-sensei!
**[14:26] Nagakura**
Hurry!
**[14:33] Nagakura**
Fine. I'll bring him myself.
**[14:36] Sannan**
With that wound,
**[14:37] Sannan**
Todo-kun will die before
you reach Matsumoto-sensei!
**[14:41] Sannan**
Are you all right with that?!
**[14:42] Nagakura**
Of course I'm not!
**[14:45] Nagakura**
But, what you're trying to do...
**[14:48] Sannan**
You don't want to let him die
and I feel the same!
**[14:52] Chizuru**
But...
**[14:54] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun... hates that medicine...
**[14:59] Chizuru**
more than anyone.
**[15:01] Sannan**
The final decision...
**[15:05] Sannan**
should be left to Todo-kun.
**[15:09] Nagakura**
You can't be serious.
Are you some kind of demon?
**[15:13] Nagakura**
Under these circumstances,
you're gonna ask Heisuke?!
**[15:17] Sannan**
If you plan to kill me,
aim for the neck or the heart!
**[15:21] Hijikata**
Both of you, stop!
**[15:30] Sannan**
Please... trust me with this.
**[15:49] Sannan**
Right in this moment,
a life is about to end.
**[15:53] Sannan**
This is a means to save it.
**[15:57] Sannan**
Is that really so great a crime?
**[16:16] Nagakura**
I...
**[16:19] Nagakura**
I found myself wanting Heisuke to live.
**[16:25] Nagakura**
That's why...
**[16:28] Nagakura**
I couldn't stop Sannan-san.
**[16:35] Harada**
I know.
**[16:41] Nagakura**
Is it better for Heisuke
to die pure and gallant...
**[16:48] Nagakura**
or to continue living as a rasetsu?
**[16:57] Nagakura**
I just don't know anymore.
**[17:27] Todo**
Hey!
**[17:31] Chizuru**
Is it all right for you to be up?
**[17:34] Todo**
I'm doing so well,
I can't believe what happened.
**[17:36] Todo**
I'm just like always.
**[17:38] Chizuru**
I see.
**[17:39] Todo**
Shinpachi-san and Sano-san
were just here, too.
**[17:42] Todo**
They laughed and said, "So it's true that
idiots won't change even if they die."
**[17:49] Chizuru**
I'll prepare your meal.
**[17:54] Todo**
Thanks.
**[18:13] Harada**
Thanks for your hard work.
**[18:17] Harada**
I'll help.
**[18:22] Chizuru**
I'm sorry... for things turning out this way.
**[18:27] Harada**
Without that medicine...
Heisuke would've died for sure.
**[18:33] Harada**
You have no reason to feel bad.
**[18:36] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[18:39] Harada**
And the Shinsengumi having that medicine...
**[18:41] Harada**
is not solely Kodo-san's responsibility.
**[18:44] Harada**
It was Kondo-san and
Hijikata-san who agreed to it.
**[18:48] Harada**
Though it's not like they had a choice.
**[18:53] Harada**
If we're ever abandoned by the shogunate,
**[18:55] Harada**
Kondo-san and Hijikata-san would
have been stripped of their samurai titles.
**[19:00] Harada**
For them, a life outside
of the Shinsengumi...
**[19:06] Harada**
doesn't exist.
**[19:26] Sannan**
There is no need to be afraid.
**[19:31] Sannan**
I was simply hoping for a little...
**[19:34] Sannan**
of your blood. That's why I've come.
**[19:38] Chizuru**
Blood?
**[19:40] Sannan**
I've been thinking about it for a long time.
**[19:43] Sannan**
Why was I able to return to my senses?
**[19:49] Sannan**
Could it be because I...
ingested some of your blood?
**[19:57] Sannan**
That is how it appeared to me.
**[20:01] Sannan**
The blood of an oni completely
suppressed a rasetsu's madness.
**[20:06] Sannan**
The Water of Life is something
which has come to us from the West.
**[20:08] Sannan**
It's likely that other beings with
oni-like powers exist in other countries.
**[20:14] Sannan**
I still don't know how
the Water of Life is made.
**[20:19] Sannan**
However...
**[20:21] Sannan**
In all likelihood...
**[20:24] Sannan**
the blood of the living...
**[20:30] Sannan**
At the very least, it's worth testing.
**[20:36] Sannan**
With your very existence,
we in the Rasetsu Squad... No!
**[20:41] Sannan**
everyone in the Shinsengumi might be saved.
**[20:47] Sannan**
If we have your blood...
**[20:52] Chizuru**
I...
**[20:54] Hijikata**
You, of all people.
**[20:59] Hijikata**
Drawing your sword inside the command post...
Have you gone mad?
**[21:04] Sannan**
Hijikata-kun.
**[21:06] Sannan**
Perfect. Will you help me?
**[21:09] Hijikata**
Sheathe your sword.
Personal duels are forbidden.
**[21:12] Sannan**
Yukimura-kun is not one of the soldiers.
**[21:15] Hijikata**
She's not a soldier, but she's with us
so long, she's no different!
**[21:19] Sannan**
In that case, naturally,
she'll want to help us.
**[21:22] Sannan**
The Shinsengumi need the power of the rasetsu.
You've been saying that since...
**[21:26] Hijikata**
You just want to think that it's needed!
**[21:32] Hijikata**
For your own sake, not anyone else's.
**[21:47] Sannan**
I will withdraw, but please remember...
**[21:53] Sannan**
as things stand, Todo-kun will also...
**[22:07] Hijikata**
Are you all right?
**[22:09] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[22:12] Hijikata**
Before...
**[22:14] Hijikata**
He wasn't someone who'd
say things like that to me.
**[22:20] Chizuru**
I'm very sorry.
**[22:24] Hijikata**
Why?
**[22:26] Hijikata**
You have reason to apologize.
**[22:31] Chizuru**
The reason Sannan-san is behaving strangely...
if you go back to the beginning...
**[22:39] Chizuru**
Heisuke-kun, too...
**[22:41] Chizuru**
He can't be seen
by the outside world anymore.
**[22:45] Chizuru**
The medicine that my father brought here...
**[22:48] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san, you and the others treasure the
Shinsengumi, but the medicine is eating away at it.
**[22:54] Hijikata**
The Water of Life is a path
that we chose for ourselves.
**[22:58] Chizuru**
I beg of you.
**[23:01] Chizuru**
If there's anything I can do,
please order me to do it.
**[23:08] Chizuru**
I know that I lack the ability to help.
**[23:12] Chizuru**
I just...
**[23:15] Chizuru**
I've been saved so many times...
**[23:17] Chizuru**
and I haven't been able to do anything...
**[23:25] Chizuru**
I don't want to cause any
more trouble for anyone!
**[23:28] Chizuru**
Please.
**[23:32] Chizuru**
Is...
**[23:34] Chizuru**
Is there any way I can be of
more use to the Shinsengumi?
**[23:45] Hijikata**
Don't bow your head so readily.
**[23:48] Hijikata**
If there is something in your
heart which will not yield,
**[23:53] Hijikata**
then keep looking ahead,
no matter the circumstances.
**[23:57] Chizuru**
If there is anything
I can do, please tell me.
**[24:05] Hijikata**
You are a strange woman.
**[24:07] Hijikata**
We had you here under house arrest
to start with, didn't we?
**[24:13] Hijikata**
If you insist, then start
by making me some tea, will you?
**[24:18] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[24:26] Hijikata**
You weren't the only one who was saved.
**[24:32] Hijikata**
You're doing a lot for us.

On the way back from
the war council at Nijo Castle,
**[03:02] Shimada**
we were suddenly attacked
while we were on horseback!
**[03:05] Hijikata**
If you'd fallen from your horses, you wouldn't
have been able to outrun the assassin.
**[03:09] Shimada**
I can't apologize enough for not being
able to protect the commander!
**[03:13] Hijikata**
No.
**[03:15] Hijikata**
He said he didn't need an escort so big
that it would leave this place shorthanded,
**[03:19] Hijikata**
and I couldn't convince him
otherwise. It's my responsibility.
**[03:23] Hijikata**
What's that?
**[03:23] Inoue**
Toshi-san!
**[03:25] Inoue**
It's Soji.
**[03:29] Shimada**

**[03:52] Sasahara**
To think you'd take the trouble
of leaving your sickbed for us.
**[03:56] Sasahara**
How convenient.

Okita!
**[03:59] Sasahara**
How is Kondo?
**[04:02] Sasahara**
Is he dead?
**[04:30] Okita**
Were you the one... who shot Kondo-san?
**[04:56] Okita**
The likes of a gun isn't enough
to kill me anymore.
**[05:13] Okita**
Huh?
**[05:26] Okita**
That's strange.
**[05:28] Hijikata**
Soji!
**[05:36] Hijikata**
Soji.
**[05:38] Okita**
Hijikata-san...
**[05:41] Okita**
If Kondo-san dies...
**[05:45] Hijikata**
Don't talk. You may have

**[05:47] Okita**
If Kondo-san dies...
it's your fault, Hijikata-san.
**[05:54] Okita**
If that happens, I'll never forgive you.
**[05:59] Okita**
I'll follow you wherever you go...
**[06:03] Okita**
and I'll cut you down, Hijikata-san.
**[06:08] Hijikata**
Yes, it's my fault.
**[06:11] Hijikata**
So...
**[06:15] Hijikata**
Soji.
**[06:26] Hijikata**
Soji... has tuberculosis.
**[06:30] Nagakura**
So to cure that, he became a rasetsu?

**[06:46] Todo**
But normally, as a rasetsu,
he'd already be...
**[06:49] Sannan**
Yes.
**[06:51] Sannan**
Once the bullet was removed,
he should have recovered immediately.
**[07:02] Sannan**
This is the bullet I removed from Okita-kun.
**[07:06] Sannan**
I believe it is made of silver.
**[07:11] Hijikata**
Wounds inflicted by silver...
**[07:13] Hijikata**
don't heal, even for rasetsu.
Is that what this means?
**[07:15] Sannan**
It is a truth I was unaware of, as well.
**[07:18] Sannan**
It seems they have someone
knowledgeable about rasetsu with them.
**[07:42] Chizuru**
I'm so glad.
**[07:45] Saito**
The commander has
survived the critical stage.
**[07:47] Saito**
His condition has stablized.
**[07:51] Okita**
Is that true?
**[07:52] Saito**
As to whether I like to joke
or not in these situations,
**[07:55] Saito**
you should know better than anyone.
**[08:00] Okita**
Kondo-san's going to be all right.
**[08:03] Saito**
So don't do anything more
to cause the commander to worry.
**[08:10] Okita**
I'm so glad.
**[08:19] Harada**
Saito, Sannan-san wants to see you.
**[08:30] Sannan**
This is the last of the
Water of Life that we possess.
**[08:36] Sannan**
We bear both responsibility
for our research into the Water of Life,
**[08:41] Sannan**
and the right to its benefits.
**[08:44] Sannan**
In this battle where anything
might happen, if one...
**[08:47] Sannan**
thought that they would not die, then...
**[08:49] Nagakura**
Quit messing around!
**[08:54] Nagakura**
Whatever happens, being ready to die
is something I prepared for a long time ago!
**[09:04] Sannan**
In our current circumstances,
**[09:06] Sannan**
losing any one of our top
officers would be problematic.
**[09:11] Sannan**
I pray that my goodwill will not be wasted.
**[09:40] Saito**
As for me...
**[09:42] Saito**
giving my life for that which I believe
in is my most cherished desire.
**[10:00] Harada**
Once he's caught up in something,
a man has a duty to see it through.
**[10:14] Inoue**
The Shinsengumi has grown quite large.
**[10:19] Inoue**
To think that it's now the strongest force
supporting the shogunate...
**[10:24] Hijikata**
Yes.
**[10:25] Inoue**
I'm glad that both Soji
and Kondo-san are safe.
**[10:31] Inoue**
Taking responsibility for everything
yourself is a bad habit of yours.
**[10:36] Inoue**
When you're with me, at least,
you can go back to who you used to be.
**[10:46] Hijikata**
I...
**[10:49] Hijikata**
I may have forced something
unthinkable onto Kondo-san.
**[10:54] Hijikata**
These last five years...
**[10:57] Hijikata**
I forced the idea of a "true warrior,"
**[10:59] Hijikata**
something that doesn't exist
in this world, onto Kondo-san,
**[11:03] Hijikata**
leading us to meddling
with a medicine like this.
**[11:08] Hijikata**
And it isn't just Kondo-san.
**[11:10] Hijikata**
You, Gen-san, and all of them...
**[11:13] Inoue**
For me...
**[11:14] Inoue**
these five years since coming
to the capital have been like a dream.
**[11:20] Inoue**
There have been many
painful experiences, of course.
**[11:23] Inoue**
It wasn't all fun by any means.
**[11:26] Inoue**
Even so, for us,
who weren't born as warriors...
**[11:33] Inoue**
To be honest, I never
imagined we'd come this far.
**[11:39] Inoue**
It's incredible.
**[11:41] Hijikata**
Gen-san...
**[11:44] Inoue**
Beyond any doubt, everyone here
**[11:48] Inoue**
is a true warrior, a rarity in this world.
**[11:55] Hijikata**
Yes.
**[12:05] Inoue**
If someone like me can prove
useful in battle, then...
**[12:11] Inoue**
this can serve in place
of a protective talisman, I suppose.
**[12:45] Chizuru**
You're still awake?
**[12:47] Hijikata**
I should be asking you that.
**[12:50] Chizuru**
No, I was...
**[12:54] Hijikata**
Matsumoto-sensei is at Osaka Castle.
**[12:56] Hijikata**
I've made arrangements for
Kondo-san and Soji to go there.
**[13:01] Chizuru**
I see.
**[13:03] Chizuru**
Our facilities here aren't sufficient,
so I think that will be for the best.
**[13:09] Hijiata**
And you should—
**[13:09] Chizuru**
I...
**[13:11] Chizuru**
With your permission,
I would like to stay here.
**[13:15] Chizuru**
If Matsumoto-sensei will be
seeing to them in Osaka,
**[13:19] Chizuru**
then I'll stay here and look after everyone!
**[13:23] Hijikata**
You really are an Edo woman.
**[13:27] Hijikata**
All right.
**[13:29] Hijikata**
I'll be taking over command for Kondo-san.
**[13:33] Hijikata**
We have never once lost
a battle we've gotten involved in.
**[13:37] Hijikata**
And this battle is one
we absolutely cannot lose.
**[13:43] Hijikata**
I will not fail. The company...
**[13:49] Hijikata**
and you...
**[13:51] Hijikata**
I will protect you both.

**[14:04] captain**
Fire! Fire!
**[14:17] Saito**
Do not falter!
**[14:19] Saito**
Forward!
**[14:36] Harada**
Defend with your lives!
**[14:53] Nagakura**
Sorry, guys! All this because
you've got a reckless captain like me!
**[14:57] Shimada**
What are you saying? After all this time?
**[15:18] Chizuru**
The wound is shallow. Please, stay strong!
**[15:23] soldier**
Cannonballs came raining down from above.
**[15:26] soldier**
Can we really win this?
**[15:36] Inoue**
Don't worry. I'm sure
they'll all come back safe!
**[15:41] Chizuru**
Yes.
**[15:53] Satsuma-Choshu forces**
Fire!
**[16:05] Satsuma-Choshu forces**
Go!
**[16:11] Yamazaki**
At this rate, it will be difficult
to keep the cannon fire in check.
**[16:16] Hijikata**
The sun hasn't completely
set yet, but send them out.
**[16:20] Yamazaki**
The rasetsu squad, correct?
**[17:04] Todo**
I don't think I can do this anymore...
**[17:10] Todo**
I keep growing less and
less human, and it scares me.
**[17:15] Todo**
Right now, I crave blood.
**[17:18] Todo**
I want it! I want it!
**[17:23] Todo**
I feel like I'm going to go insane!
**[17:31] Todo**
Twilight looks like dawn.
**[17:34] Todo**
The moon looks like the sun!
**[17:36] Todo**
The smell of human blood,
the feel of it, the warmth...
**[17:43] Todo**
Why does it feel so good?
**[17:56] Harada**
Just as you start up the hill,
they fire from the sides.
**[18:00] Saito**
And the guns the Satsuma-Choshu
are using have a terribly long range.
**[18:03] Saito**
They're far away, but one out
of two shots is hitting its mark.
**[18:07] Harada**
And the second unit?
What happened to Shinpachi?
**[18:09] Inoue**
They went to raid the enemy's stronghold,
the Gokogu Shrine, but...
**[18:15] Harada**
Sorry, Chizuru. Take care
of the rest after we get back.
**[18:21] Hijikata**
Where are you going?
**[18:23] Harada**
To assist Chinpachi, where else?
**[18:24] Hijikata**
Stop! Now isn't the time to move.
**[18:26] Harada**
What?
**[18:30] Hijikata**
If you go now, you'll only
increase the number of casualties!
**[18:37] Nagakura**
Hey.
**[18:41] Nagakura**
We're back.
**[18:45] Harada**
Shinpachi...
**[18:47] Nagakura**
Sano.
**[19:00] Nagakura**
So you're still alive?
**[19:05] Harada**
I managed somehow.
**[19:07] Harada**
Around sunset, I really
thought I was going to die.
**[19:12] Nagakura**
The cannon fire stopped
in the middle of things,
**[19:14] Nagakura**
so we managed to make it back.
**[19:17] Hijikata**
I sent out the rasetsu squad.
**[19:19] Hijikata**
The bombardment stopped because
the rasetsu squad's attack was successful.
**[19:24] Nagakura**
I see.
**[19:27] Saito**
Vice-Commander, what do we do?
**[19:31] Hijikata**
Up until now, we've been mostly
fighting a defensive battle,
**[19:34] Hijikata**
but now that the sun's set,
their guns shouldn't be as accurate.
**[19:37] Saito**
If we're going to counterattack,
**[19:39] Saito**
then now, while the cannons
are stopped, is the only time.
**[19:42] Hijikata**
We'll take advantage of the darkness
to march on their main camp.
**[19:46] Hijikata**
It will be an all-out battle.
**[19:47] Hijikata**
Everyone rest until
the sun has completely set.
**[19:51] everyone**
Sir!
**[19:54] Chizuru**
Please have some.
**[19:56] soldiers**
Thank you. My thanks.
**[20:03] Chizuru**
Please eat a lot.
**[20:04] soldiers**
Thank you.
**[20:09] soldiers**
Thank you for the food.
**[20:10] soldiers**
It's good!
**[20:19] Hijikata**
I knew it. You've been
holding back and not eating.
**[20:32] Chizuru**
No, it should be you who eats it rather
than me, Hijikata-san.
**[20:48] Hijikata**
Then this should be fine, right?
**[20:58] Chizuru**
Thank you.
**[21:05] Chizuru**
It's delicious.
**[21:07] Hijikata**
When it comes to food,
make sure to eat your share.
**[21:10] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
***SIGN*** Integrity
**[21:21] Hijikata**
What's the situation?
**[21:22] Yamazaki**
The rasetsu squad's attack
has broken the enemy formation,
**[21:24] Yamazaki**
but it seems they've already
brought in reinforcements.
**[21:26] Yamazaki**
And they've resumed shooting again.
**[21:28] Saito**
That is much sooner than we'd anticipated.
**[21:30] Harada**
But how are they doing it in this darkness?
**[21:32] Yamazaki**
They've set fire to the surrounding homes,
and are using the flames for light.
**[21:36] Yamazaki**
I believe it will be difficult
to reach their camp.
**[21:41] Harada**
Hijikata-san, we don't have a chance now.
**[21:45] Yamazaki**
Vice-Commander, your decision, please.
**[21:48] Inoue**
Toshi-san.
**[21:52] Hijikata**
I see.
**[21:55] Hijikata**
It's no longer the age of the sword
and spear, is that it?
**[22:01] Hijikata**
Now...
**[22:03] Hijikata**
we retreat.
**[22:05] Hijikata**
But we haven't lost yet.
We will repay them for this.
**[22:10] Hijikata**
We'll start with the wounded
and move our forces.
**[22:12] Hijikata**
I need someone who isn't injured to go
to Yodo Castle and request reinforcements.
**[22:19] Chizuru**
I will go.
**[22:20] Harada**
You, Chizuru?
**[22:24] Inoue**
I will go with her.
**[22:25] Inoue**
And it will be safer for her
than staying here, won't it?
**[22:31] Hijikata**
All right. I'll leave it to you.
**[22:49] Inoue**
Are you sure you're all right?
Shouldn't we rest a little?
**[22:52] Chizuru**
I'm fine. This is no time to be resting.
**[22:59] Inoue**
Seeing as they aren't wearing
kimono with work sleeves,
**[23:01] Inoue**
they're probably with the Todo faction.
**[23:04] Chizuru**
We're from the Shinsengumi!
**[23:06] Chizuru**
We're on our way to Yodo Castle!
**[23:10] Inoue**
Hey! Wait, Yukimura-kun.
**[23:17] Chizuru**
Weren't they on the shogunate's side?
**[23:20] Inoue**
They probably have been up until now.
**[23:31] Inoue**
Let's go back. It's dangerous.
**[23:33] Chizuru**
But Hijikata-san said to get reinforcements.
**[23:36] Chizuru**
They might have fired on us by mistake.
If we talk to them, then—
**[23:40] Inoue**
You need to stop!
**[23:43] Inoue**
I want to get reinforcements
for Hijikata-san, too.
**[23:47] Inoue**
However, I also have a duty to protect you.
**[23:53] Chizuru**
I'm sorry.
**[23:55] Chizuru**
I couldn't do anything.
**[24:00] Inoue**
What are you saying?
We're talking about Toshi-san here.
**[24:02] Inoue**
He'll think up some outrageous scheme
to overturn this whole situation.
**[24:11] Chizuru**
Inoue-san, your hand is warm.
**[24:16] Chizuru**
It makes me remember that my father
often used to touch my shoulder.
**[24:20] Inoue**
Yes, well. I'm old enough that having
a daughter your age wouldn't be strange.
**[24:26] Chizuru**
I think I saw my father in you, Inoue-san.
**[24:32] Inoue**
A daughter as lovely as you...
I'd happily welcome.
**[24:37] Inoue**
Now, let's get back.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry for not keeping in touch with you.
**[00:37] Chizuru**
Father, where have you been?
**[00:41] Chizuru**
No, more importantly, is it true
that you're involved with the rasetsu?
**[00:47] Chizuru**
Then, do you know a way to change them back?
**[00:50] Kodo**
It isn't possible to turn
a rasetsu back into a human.
**[00:53] Kodo**
But there isn't any need to do so.
**[00:57] Kodo**
The Water of Life is necessary for the
restoration of the Yukimura family.
**[01:03] Kodo**
I've come to get you.

Why did you leave the Shinsengumi?
**[02:10] Kodo**
To perform an even bigger experiment.

The Satsuma said they'd provide the funds,
so I turned to them for help.

In order to... restore the Yukimura family?

You'll face this many alone? I'll—
**[03:48] Inoue**

**[03:50] Inoue**
Will you tell Toshi-san for me?
**[03:55] Inoue**
I'm sorry that I wasn't skilled enough.

**[05:36] Kazuma**
Contemptible vermin.
**[05:38] Kodo**
Kazama?
**[05:45] Kazama**
For the sake of your ridiculous plan,
**[05:48] Kazama**
you would use the blood of this precious,
pure-blooded female oni?
**[05:53] Chizuru**
What do you mean?
**[05:55] Kazama**
There is one difficulty with producing
a large quantity of the Water of Life.
**[05:59] Kazama**
The raw materials come from abroad.
**[06:01] Kazama**
Refining a large amount would be difficult.
**[06:04] Kazama**
But Kodo realized...
**[06:06] Kazama**
that the components of the Water of Life
**[06:08] Kazama**
could be cultured from the blood of a
pure-blooded oni woman, as they were similar.
**[06:12] Chizuru**
From my blood?
**[06:18] Kodo**
That's right.
**[06:20] Kodo**
I will squeeze as much blood
from you as possible
**[06:24] Kodo**
to make vast quantities
of the Water of Life.
**[06:27] Kodo**
If you hadn't done something so pointless
as coming to the capital,
**[06:30] Kodo**
I would have been able to
make use of you sooner.
**[06:35] Chizuru**
I...
**[06:39] Chizuru**
I came to the capital to look for you, Father!
Are you saying that was pointless?
**[06:44] Chizuru**
Are you? Are you, Father?
**[06:46] Kazama**
Kodo isn't your father.
**[06:51] Chizuru**
What?
**[06:53] Kazama**
Yukimura Kodo...
**[06:56] Kazama**
abducted you from the main
Yukimura house and raised you.
**[06:59] Kazama**
He's no father to you.
**[07:01] Kazama**
Kodo isn't like you, with your pure blood.
**[07:04] Kazama**
He's born of a branch of the Yukimura family
that has mixed with humans.
**[07:08] Kazama**
In order to extract as much blood
from you as possible,
**[07:10] Kazama**
he must have waited for you to grow up.
**[07:13] Kodo**
But it was I who raised you
until now. That is a fact.
**[07:19] Kodo**
Chizuru.
**[07:20] Kodo**
You're a good girl, so you'll help
with your father's plan, won't you?
**[07:28] Kazama**
Wait there.
**[07:31] Kodo**
Do you think you can win
against these numbers?
**[08:07] Kodo**
If things continue this way,
we oni will forever walk
**[08:10] Kodo**
in the shadows of this land
of the rising sun!
**[08:12] Kodo**
Our existence will not be acknowledged,
and if we step out of line, we'll be wiped out!
**[08:16] Kodo**
Are you saying that's how you want to live?!
**[08:18] Kazama**
That's enough foolish talk.
**[08:23] Kodo**
With enough power, it can be changed.
**[08:25] Kodo**
I can change it!
**[08:49] Kazama**
From this point forward,
we of the oni families...
**[08:53] Kazama**
will withdraw from the powers working
to overthrow the shogunate.
**[08:57] Kazama**
We've already more than repaid
our debts to the Satsuma.
**[09:02] Kazama**
And the promise of "until the shogunate
is toppled" is as good as kept.
**[09:11] Kazama**
You are the ones who have lost.
**[09:14] Kazama**
The Satsuma-Choshu forces have
raised the Imperial banner.
**[09:17] Kazama**
It's the symbol of the
Imperial Court's loyalist forces.
**[09:20] Kazama**
This is likely to cause...
**[09:24] Kazama**
many of the clans
to side with Satsuma-Choshu.
**[09:26] Kazama**
And now...
**[09:28] Kazama**
you have no reason to stay
with the Shinsengumi any longer.
**[09:34] Kazama**
Now... come with me.
**[09:41] Chizuru**
Even if I'm with you...
**[09:47] Chizuru**
It won't atone for the atrocities
my father has committed.
**[09:53] Chizuru**
And even if the Shinsengumi's
lot is a harsh one,
**[09:57] Chizuru**
I will stay until the end!
**[09:59] Kazama**
I thought you were smarter than this.
**[10:04] Kazama**
It seems you require some discipline.
**[10:10] Chizuru**
If the alternative is to let you do
whatever you want to me, then I'd rather...
**[10:14] Hijikata**
And who gave you permission
to do something like that?
**[10:21] Hijikata**
Don't go trying to throw your life away
where I can't see you.
**[10:28] Hijikata**
When I heard that the Yodo faction
switched to the Satsuma-Choshu side,
**[10:31] Hijikata**
I got a bad feeling about things, but...
**[10:41] Kazama**
I won't speak ill.
This is a favorable opportunity.
**[10:46] Kazama**
Leave this oni woman behind.
**[10:50] Kazama**
If you do...
**[10:52] Kazama**
I shall overlook these events here.
**[10:56] Hijikata**
That's advice I can't take.
**[11:06] Hijikata**
Both the company...
**[11:09] Hijikata**
and her...
**[11:11] Hijikata**
I will protect them.
**[11:14] Hijikata**
That's what I've resolved to do!
**[11:38] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san!
**[11:46] Chizuru**
Are you all right?
**[11:47] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san...
**[11:49] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san...
**[11:50] Kazama**
Spoiling things like that.
What a ridiculous interruption.
**[12:00] Kazama**
You're in the way.
**[12:03] Hijikata**
Stop!
**[12:10] Kazama**
The Water of Life again?
**[12:12] Kazama**
You fool.
**[12:14] Hijikata**
Fool? And what's wrong with that?
**[12:23] Hijikata**
We have always been a band of fools.
**[12:27] Kazama**
Even if you become a rasetsu,
you will be no more than a fake.
**[12:31] Kazama**
No match for an oni.
**[12:33] Hijikata**
That's something I won't know until I try!
**[12:37] Chizuru**
No!
**[13:08] Hijikata**
I can't hold back anymore.
**[13:12] Hijikata**
The cowards and the shogunate...
**[13:16] Hijikata**
and you rotten oni,
always getting in the way...
**[13:20] Hijikata**
Fakes, you say? And what of it?
**[13:27] Hijikata**
All this time, we've...
**[13:29] Hijikata**
we've been treated horribly,
as fake warriors.
**[13:36] Hijikata**
But you know...
**[13:39] Hijikata**
whether we're fakes or whatever else...
**[13:43] Hijikata**
if we keep to our principles,
we'll become the real thing!
**[13:54] Hijikata**
What's wrong? You're getting pushed back.
**[14:04] Hijikata**
How does it feel to be wounded by a fake?
**[14:14] Kazama**
You are the only one I will never forgive.
**[14:37] Kazama**
Rejoice, human.
**[14:40] Kazama**
For you will die the very same
moment you have seen a true oni!
**[14:47] Hijikata**
Blast it, you...
**[15:07] Hijikata**
Soji.
**[15:08] Kazama**
All these dirty fakes!
**[15:14] Hijikata**
Saito.
**[15:28] Kazama**
You lowly humans!
**[15:45] Hijikata**
Saito!
**[15:49] Hijikata**
Soji!
**[15:58] Kazama**
You seem to be under a misapprehension.
The Water of Life doesn't cure illnesses.
**[16:03] Kazama**
You are all fated to fall, like blossoms.
**[16:07] Kazama**
Receive your punishment
for losing yourself in being a fake.
**[16:22] Okita**
I told you, didn't I? Back at Ikedaya.
**[16:26] Okita**
Our enemies must die.
**[16:38] Kazama**
You dirty, little...
**[17:10] Yamazaki**
Yukimura-kun!
**[17:12] Chizuru**
Yamazaki-san.
**[17:36] Kazama**
This is the end.
**[17:50] Hijikata**
Yamazaki...
**[17:53] Yamazaki**
What kind of fighting
is that, Vice-Commander?
**[18:04] Yamazaki**
Losing yourself and charging in...
**[18:08] Yamazaki**
Even if it means using
other soldiers as a shield,
**[18:13] Yamazaki**
you must live and command...
**[18:20] Hijikata**
Yamazaki?
**[18:36] Amagiri**
Enough. Stop.
**[18:38] Kazama**
Amagiri.
**[18:40] Amagiri**
The Satsuma wish to overthrow
the shogunate by their own hand.
**[18:44] Amagiri**
To destroy the Shinsengumi now
would be to go against their will.
**[18:49] Kazama**
These dirty fakes injured me. Me!
**[18:51] Kazama**
And you're telling me to let them go?
**[18:54] Amagiri**
Oni are not supposed to involve themselves
in the governing of the human world.
**[18:59] Amagiri**
And now that we are finally on the verge
of repaying our debt of gratitude,
**[19:02] Amagiri**
we cannot afford to quarrel
with the Satsuma clan.
**[19:06] Amagiri**
You know that, too, don't you?
**[19:18] Kazama**
You called yourself Hijikata, didn't you?
**[19:21] Kazama**
We will finish this one day. Remember that.
**[19:35] Chizuru**
Hijikata-san!
**[19:43] Chizuru**
Yamazaki-san...
**[19:45] Okita**
Yamazaki...
**[19:47] Hijikata**
I never would have imagined that I...
**[19:52] Hijikata**
would end up sacrificing the life
of one of our soldiers to prolong my own.
**[21:01] Chizuru**
Father.
**[21:20] Chizuru**
I'm sorry, Hijikata-san.
**[21:27] Hijikata**
What is that apology for?
**[21:31] Chizuru**
I was so sure that the research...
**[21:39] Chizuru**
was something my father
was doing against his will...
**[21:45] Chizuru**
That there must have been some
kind of profound reason for it...
**[21:51] Chizuru**
I'd always believed that.
**[21:54] Chizuru**
And it gave my heart strength.
**[21:59] Chizuru**
But...
**[22:02] Chizuru**
My father was only using
everyone in the Shinsengumi!
**[22:15] Hijikata**
There's no reason for you to feel
responsible for those transgressions.
**[22:21] Hijikata**
Those of us left alive must finish the path
the ones who have died believed in.
**[22:26] Hijikata**
We have no other choice.
**[22:33] Chizuru**
Inoue-san...
**[22:37] Chizuru**
Before he died, he spoke.
**[22:44] Chizuru**
He hoped you'd forgive him for
not being with you until the end...
**[22:50] Chizuru**
and that, for letting him
have one last dream...
**[22:55] Chizuru**
he would never be able to thank you enough.
**[23:05] Hijikata**
Maybe it's because I've become a rasetsu...
**[23:10] Hijikata**
but today, the light of the sun
stings my eyes more than before.
**[23:23] Hijikata**
This time, we lost.
**[23:31] Chizuru**
I heard... that they will leave for Edo.
**[23:36] Hijikata**
We've had word from Kondo-san.
**[23:40] Hijikata**
Lord Yoshinobu...
**[23:43] Hijikata**
abandoned the shogunate's forces,
who had staked their lives on this fight,
**[23:47] Hijikata**
and ran away to play in Edo.
**[23:51] Hijikata**
But the moment you're really beaten isn't
when you suffer defeat in battle...
**[24:00] Hijikata**
It's when you lose heart.
**[24:05] Chizuru**
Yes, sir.
**[24:08] Hijikata**
We may have tasted defeat,
**[24:10] Hijikata**
but though our blades are broken
and dirtied with this crushing loss...
**[24:13] Hijikata**
even if we have to slurp up the mud...
**[24:17] Hijikata**
even if lose our comrades,
we will fight our way through.
**[24:21] Hijikata**
That is the Shinsengumi
we imagined for ourselves.
**[24:34] Hijikata**
Once we return to Edo,
we will begin the fight again.
