[00:01] Hijikata
    Don't run.
[00:02] Hijikata
    Turn your back on me and I'll cut you down.
[00:03] Okita
    This person saw everything, you know?
[00:04] Nagakura
    Yukimura?
[00:05] Harada
    Is that Kodo-san's...
[00:07] Chizuru
    Do you know my father?

[00:13] Inoue
    Sannan-san has been...
[00:14] Inoue
    They say it will be difficult
    for him to hold a sword again.
[00:17] Okita
    This is quite the achievement.
[00:21] Chizuru
    Ow!
[00:31] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Why can't I play with the other children?
[00:37] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Is it because my wounds heal so quickly?
[00:41] (Flashback) Koudou
    Chizuru.
[00:43] (Flashback) Koudou
    This power is something which
    has been bestowed by the heavens.
[00:48] (Flashback) Koudou
    But when people see something beyond
     human capability, they abhor it.
[00:56] (Flashback) Koudou
    You must never tell any person
    other than myself of this.
[01:00] (Flashback) Chizuru
    All right.
[01:18] Chizuru
    Father...
[01:24] Inoue
    Thanks, Yukimura-kun.
[01:26] Inoue
    Since you came, both preparing meals
    and cleaning up afterward have gotten easier.
[01:30] Chizuru
    Not at all. This is the only thing I can do.
[01:36] Inoue
    Did you injure yourself?
[01:38] Chizuru
    No.
[01:50] Nagakura
    How'd it go?
[01:54] Hijikata
    He's a Choshu spy
    named Furutaka Shuntaro.
SIGN    Furutaka Shuntaro
[02:02] Hijikata
    They're planning to set fire
    to the capital on a windy day,
[02:06] Hijikata
    and use that opportunity
    to take the emperor to Choshu.
[02:10] Hijikata
    That is their aim.
[02:12] Harada
    If they were to succeed...
[02:15] Hijikata
    It's clear that there would be
    a tremendous number of casualties.
[02:18] Okita
    What will you do, Hijikata-san?
[02:24] Yamazaki
    Vice-Commander, it was
     just as you predicted.
[02:29] Hijikata
    It seems they're planning to meet tonight.
[02:33] Hijikata
    The aim of the meeting will be
    to rescue Furutaka...
[02:36] Hijikata
    and attack the Shinsengumi Command Post.
[02:44] Hijikata
    We will raid that meeting.
[02:55] Hijikata
    Yamazaki.
[02:57] Hijikata
    Send word to the Aizu clan and the shogun's
    deputies requesting reinforcements.
[03:00] Hijikata
    If we're going to raid, we'll need numbers.
[03:05] Hijikata
    Saitou, gather every soldier
    in the regiment that can move.
[03:09] Saitou
    Understood.

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

[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

    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!

    The meeting is at Ikedaya...

    The meeting is at Ikedaya!

    Kondo-san.
[19:47] Okita
    I will... show you that I can be of use here.

    I'm counting on you.
[20:10] Kondou
    We will go in alone.
