[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.

[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.

[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

    I feel like I tell you all the time
    not to go off and do things on your own.
[15:39] Chizuru
    I'm sorry.
[15:41] Chizuru
    I thought that a medicine shop
    might know my father's whereabouts.
[15:44] Okita
    I think searching in a panic like
    that is pretty pointless.
[15:48] Okita
    You've already looked thoroughly, after all.
[16:00] Chizuru
    Okita-san?
[16:01] Okita
    Stay back!
[16:04] Okita
    Just stay there.
[16:16] Chizuru
    Are you all right?
[16:19] Okita
    What do you mean?
[16:20] Chizuru
    What do I mean?
[16:24] Okita
    Anyway... stop going off
    and doing things on your own.
[16:42] Okita
    Well, I've got things to do.

    Wait, Soji.

[17:28] Nagakura
    Wait, Doctor! Come on, really look!

    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.

    That person was Doctor Matsumoto, right?

[18:40] Matsumoto
    I'm sorry.

    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.

    Yes. And that is why we must not interfere

[24:06] Amagiri
    Are you speaking of the Water of Life?

    In seeking power,
