# Hakuoki ~Demon of the Fleeting Blossom~ (Drama)
The time is one of upheaval, at the end of Bakumatsu period. A young woman named Yukimura Chizuru travels from Edo to the capital, Kyoto, in search of her missing father. Suddenly, the Rasetsu (inhuman beings committing terrible deeds) appear before her, trailed by the Shinsengumi, a unit of warriors lead by Hijikata Toshizou. The Shinsengumi deal with the Rasetsu before them in an instant. Chizuru, however, doesn't know that the fate of her father, Koudou, is inextricably bound to both the Rasetsu and the Shinsengumi. Before long, Chizuru puts herself in the Shinsengumi's care as she continues the search for her father.

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...

**[02:52] Hijikata**
Don't run.

Turn your back on me and I'll cut you down.

**[03:19] Hijikata**
We will deal with that one...

For work? How long is "a while"?

I see.

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...

Is the poorly executed male disguise

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.

All of you and my father are...

How shall we deal with her?
***SIGN*** Inoue Genzaburo

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**

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,

***SIGN*** Extramural Research

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.

It seems someone wants to have a word...

**[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!

What? Stop right there!

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,

Please let me!

**[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.

turns into a rasetsu?

**[02:10] Hijikata**
That is their aim.

If they were to succeed...

It's clear that there would be

**[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.
**[05:48] Hijikata**
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

**[21:12] Hijikata**
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!

Follow me.

The aim of the meeting will be to attack
the Shinsengumi Command Post.
**[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

It's too bad for you.
We took the best part.
**[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.
**[12:23] Amagiri**
If you would retreat...
**[12:27] Amagiri**
then we have no intention
of taking your lives.
**[12:32] Todo**

We can't just turn
a blind eye to our enemies!
**[12:55] Harada**
After them!

Sir!
**[12:59] Harada**
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**
A human raises his blade against me?
**[15:19] Chizuru**
You'll be all right now.
**[15:21] soldier**
Thank you.
**[15:22] soldier; background**
Stay strong!
**[15:23] Okita**
Heisuke's been gravely injured!
**[15:24] Okita**
Anyone who can treat him,
come here immediately!
**[15:45] Nagakura**
Don't tell me... Did you come here
to give aid to Heisuke?!
**[15:51] Kondo**
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...
**[23:13] Kazama**
You can't be...
**[23:16] Kondo**
Let's protect this land together.

We will hold out until Toshi

We have no reason to fight you.

I do have a reason to fight you.

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.

Soji, are you all right?

The one who was helping them run,
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**
Understood.
**[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**

**[06:21] townsperson 1**
Hey, are they the Shinsengumi?
**[06:23] townsperson 2**
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...

**[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!

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.
***SIGN*** End of May, Keio Year 1 (1865)
**[15:16] Chizuru**
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.
**[16:48] Hijikata**
Wait, Soji.
**[17:07] Matsumoto**
That's everything.

Thank you.

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.

So everyone's having a medical exam.
**[18:05] Inoue**
From a court physician Kondo-san met in Edo.
**[18:08] Chizuru**
Really?
**[18:09] Kondo**
Yukimura-kun!
**[18:11] Kondo**
Do you have a moment?
**[18:18] Chizuru**
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
**[18:29] Chizuru**

**[18:32] Chizuru**
Yes, thank you so much!
**[18:37] Chizuru**
Doctor Matsumoto, about my father...
**[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**
Mice! Mice!
**[19:32] Todo**
Sanosuke-san! Wait!
**[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.

**[00:00] Hijikata**
Why do you have
the same powers as a rasetsu?
**[00:02] Hijikata**
Tell me the truth!
**[00:04] Chizuru**
And my father will know whether
there's a way to turn rasetsu back.
**[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.
***SIGN*** July, Keio Year 2 (1866)
**[00:31] Sannan**
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.

***SIGN*** Episode 6
**[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.
***SIGN*** March, Keio Year 3 (1867)
**[17:49] Kondo**
The Goryo-eishi.
**[17:51] Ito**
Just as you say.
**[17:53] Ito**
I will leave here with those of a like mind,
**[17:55] Ito**
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...

**[00:00] Nagakura**
The reason the Shinsengumi
have grown this much
**[00:02] Nagakura**
is because we've fought, ready to die!
**[00:04] Hijikata**
I made him a promise.
**[00:06] Hijikata**
If it's for Kondo-san, then I...
**[00:07] Hijikata**
I would even become a demon from hell!
**[00:09] Kazama**
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?
**[02:49] Harada**
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?
**[04:33] (Flashback) Nagakura**
It's the age of survival of the fittest!
**[04:35] (Flashback) Todo**
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**
Of Kondo-san?
**[23:15] Hijikata**
Ito Kashitaro.
**[23:18] Hijikata**
That man will die.
**[23:29] Hijikata**
And we will cut down
everyone in the Goryo-eishi.
**[23:31] Hijikata**
The units will be led
by Shinpachi and Harada.
**[23:34] Hijikata**
The Goryo-eishi end here.
**[23:42] Chizuru**
What about Heisuke-kun?
**[23:44] Chizuru**
The Goryo-eishi's Heisuke-kun...
What will you do about him?
**[23:50] Hijikata**
If he defies us, we'll cut him down.

**[01:01] Hijikata**
I will tell you the plan in due course.

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.

I'm sure that's why he picked us.

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

Starting now, guard duties will
take me away from the command post.
**[04:22] Okita**
Well, to the troops, it looks like you left,
then came back from the Ito faction.
**[04:27] Saito**
Until things calm down, I cannot stay here.
**[04:31] Okita**
Yes.
**[04:32] Saito**
That is why...
**[04:38] Saito**
You must hurry up and heal yourself.
**[04:44] Okita**
You don't have to tell me that. I know.
**[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.

**[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?

Toshi-san!

It's Soji.

How is Kondo?

Is he dead?

Were you the one... who shot Kondo-san?

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**

**[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?
**[06:36] Hijikata**
How is Soji's condition?
**[06:39] Sannan**
He's still asleep.
**[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.

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?

The Satsuma said they'd provide the funds,

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

Will you tell Toshi-san for me?

I'm sorry that I wasn't skilled enough.

**[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.

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.
