    Heisuke, hang in there!
[00:02] Sannan
    With that wound, Todo-kun will die!
[00:04] Sannan
    Are you all right with that?!
[00:05] Nagakura
    What you're trying to do...
[00:09] Chizuru
    The medicine that my father brought here...
[00:10] Chizuru
    is eating away at the Shinsengumi
    which everyone treasures...
[00:14] Hijikata
    Don't bow your head so readily.
[00:16] Hijikata
    Keep looking ahead,
    no matter the circumstances.

    Toshi-san! It's Isami-san...
[01:48] Chizuru
    I'll help stop the bleeding.
[01:52] Hijikata
    What is the state of the wound?
[01:54] Yamazaki
    The bullet passed all the way through
    and broke his arm.
[01:59] Yamazaki
    He has a high fever, too.
[02:01] Yamazaki
    I think tonight will be the crisis point.
[02:05] Hijikata
    Don't tell Soji yet.
[02:08] Hijikata
    With his health,
    we don't know what he'll do.

[02:59] Shimada
    On the way back from
    the war council at Nijo Castle,
[03:02] Shimada
    we were suddenly attacked
    while we were on horseback!
[03:05] Hijikata
    If you'd fallen from your horses, you wouldn't
    have been able to outrun the assassin.
[03:09] Shimada
    I can't apologize enough for not being
    able to protect the commander!
[03:13] Hijikata
    No.
[03:15] Hijikata
    He said he didn't need an escort so big
    that it would leave this place shorthanded,
[03:19] Hijikata
    and I couldn't convince him
    otherwise. It's my responsibility.
[03:23] Hijikata
    What's that?
[03:23] Inoue
    Toshi-san!
[03:25] Inoue
    It's Soji.
[03:29] Shimada
    Vice-Commander!
[03:52] Sasahara
    To think you'd take the trouble
    of leaving your sickbed for us.
[03:56] Sasahara
    How convenient.
[03:57] Sasahara
    Okita!
[03:59] Sasahara
    How is Kondo?
[04:02] Sasahara
    Is he dead?
[04:30] Okita
    Were you the one... who shot Kondo-san?
[04:56] Okita
    The likes of a gun isn't enough
    to kill me anymore.
[05:13] Okita
    Huh?
[05:26] Okita
    That's strange.
[05:28] Hijikata
    Soji!
[05:36] Hijikata
    Soji.
[05:38] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[05:41] Okita
    If Kondo-san dies...
[05:45] Hijikata
    Don't talk. You may have
    the body of a rasetsu, but...
[05:47] Okita
    If Kondo-san dies...
    it's your fault, Hijikata-san.
[05:54] Okita
    If that happens, I'll never forgive you.
[05:59] Okita
    I'll follow you wherever you go...
[06:03] Okita
    and I'll cut you down, Hijikata-san.
[06:08] Hijikata
    Yes, it's my fault.
[06:11] Hijikata
    So...
[06:15] Hijikata
    Soji.
[06:26] Hijikata
    Soji... has tuberculosis.
[06:30] Nagakura
    So to cure that, he became a rasetsu?
[06:36] 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.

    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...
