**[00:01] Kazama**
I have come to welcome you...
**[00:02] Kazama**
You who will become my wife, oni woman.
**[00:04] Hijikata**
We're known as the Miburo,
the Wolves of Mibu, and this is our den.
**[00:06] Hijikata**
I won't hand her over so easily!
**[00:08] Chizuru**
I will not go with you.
**[00:10] Chizuru**
Please leave!
**[00:11] Saito**
Ito's faction...
**[00:13] Saito**
is planning the assassination
of the commander of the Shinsengumi.
**[00:17] Okita**
Of Kondo-san?
**[00:21] Hijikata**
Ito Kashitaro.
**[00:24] Hijikata**
That man will die.
**[00:29] Hijikata**
And we will cut down
everyone in the Goryo-eishi.
**[00:31] Hijikata**
The units will be led
by Shinpachi and Harada.
**[00:34] Hijikata**
The Goryo-eishi end here.
**[00:37] Hijikata**
Anyone who wants to turn back,
this is your last chance.
**[00:40] Chizuru**
What about Heisuke-kun?
**[00:42] Chizuru**
The Goryo-eishi's Heisuke-kun...
What will you do about him?
**[00:52] Hijikata**
If he defies us, we'll cut him down.
**[01:01] Hijikata**
I will tell you the plan in due course.
**[01:05] Chizuru**
Wait, please!
**[01:07] Chizuru**
But... Heisuke-kun is a friend,
someone who spent so much time with us...
**[01:23] Chizuru**
Someone who's left the company...
**[01:25] Chizuru**
isn't a comrade anymore, so...
**[01:31] Chizuru**
it doesn't matter if they die?
**[01:33] Chizuru**
Is that what he's saying?
**[01:34] Kondo**
Of course not!
**[01:39] Kondo**
Even Toshi, in his heart...
**[01:42] Kondo**
After issuing an order to kill a friend...
**[01:47] Kondo**
Of course he's not all right!
**[01:54] Chizuru**
I'm very sorry.
**[02:03] Kondo**
No... Heisuke is much loved.
**[02:13] Kondo**
I ask this not as your commander,
but as Kondo Isami.
**[02:19] Kondo**
Heisuke... Can't you please just let him go?
**[02:25] Kondo**
If it's possible, I want you to convince
him to come back to the company.
**[02:29] Kondo**
I beg of you!
**[02:32] Harada**
We understand.
**[02:36] Harada**
So does Hijikata-san.
**[02:40] Harada**
I'm sure that's why he picked us.
**[02:45] Okita**
Hijikata-san.
**[02:50] Okita**
Who should I cut down?
**[02:56] Hijikata**
You should sleep.
You're not feeling well, right?
**[03:02] Okita**
We're going to assassinate
those who plan to kill Kondo-san,
**[03:05] Okita**
but you're not giving me a place to shine.
**[03:12] Okita**
I resent this, Hijikata-san.

Demon of the Fleeting Blossom
**[03:40] Okita**
So you hid inside the Ito faction.
***SIGN*** Episode 8
**[03:43] Okita**
You kept it a secret that you
were doing something that fun.
**[03:46] Saito**
The right person in the right place.
**[03:48] Saito**
People have different missions
which allow them to shine.
**[03:53] Okita**
If you were injured and
couldn't fulfill your mission...
**[03:59] Okita**
Hajime-kun, would you drink
the Water of Life?
**[04:03] Saito**
Whether I drink the Water of Life or not,
what I must do would remain the same:
**[04:06] Saito**
use this katana to cut down the enemy.
Then, one day, fall to the sword.
**[04:10] Saito**
That is all.
**[04:14] Okita**
That's true.
**[04:18] Saito**
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.

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

I think tonight will be the crisis point.

If Kondo-san dies...
**[25:01] Okita**
it will be your fault, Hijikata-san.

I feel like I'm going to go insane!
