# Hakuoki ~Demon of the Fleeting Blossom~
Chizuru Yukimura, who has come to the city of Kyoto in search of her father, has been working with the Shinsengumi since she was saved from a blood-seeking monster. Then, in June of the first year of Keio, the Shinsengumi moved to Nishi Honganji Temple to continue their patrol of Kyoto, and received reports of the frequent appearance of "bandits who assume the name of Shinsengumi. At the same time, Shinsengumi is order to protect the Shogun Iemochi who will visit Kyoto, and Hijikata and the others are in a hurry to solve the case.
Meanwhile, several rasetsu escape from the Shinsengumi post with the help of "a figure resembling Chizuru." In addition, Chizuru, who had gone to the city with Sakai, the treasurer, are drawn into the fray and goes missing. The Satsuma domain receives information of a plot to assassinate the Shogun by Tosa domain's ronin, and Kazama and the others head for Kyoto. Are the various incidents surrounding the Shinsengumi a coincidence? As everything becomes chaotic and the time until the Shogun's arrival in Kyoto approaches, Hijikata and the Shinsengumi must decide...

**[00:20] ---**
You're a little... too... heavy.
**[00:26] ---**
You okay, Souji?
**[00:28] ---**
Oh, please, Hijikata-*san*.
Of course I am.
**[00:32] ---**
Vice Commander!
**[00:34] ---**
Sorry. We failed.
**[00:36] ---**
Very well.
**[00:37] ---**
Yoichi!
**[00:40] ---**
Yamazaki, take over here.
**[00:41] ---**
Sir.
**[00:52] ---**
Aww, what a shame.
**[00:55] ---**
I wanted to finish them off myself.
**[00:59] ---**
Hajime-*kun*, its only
in moments like this...
**[01:02] ---**
...that you work quickly.
**[01:04] ---**
I merely acted to carry out my duties.
**[01:15] ---**
Listen. Don't try to run.
**[01:17] ---**
If you turn your back to me,
I'll cut you down.
**[01:20] ---**
Thinking back on it now,
our encounter that night
**[01:24] ---**
was the moment that
transformed my destiny.
**[01:29] ---**
From that day forward,
I continued to search for
**[01:33] ---**
my missing father, Kodo Yukimura,
together with the Shinsengumi.
**[01:38] ---**
Later, following the Ikeda-ya Incident,
the Shinsengumi name spread far and wide.
**[01:45] ---**
Growing in numbers after
the Forbidden Gate Incident,
**[01:48] ---**
the group left the cramped Yagi Mansion
**[01:50] ---**
and moved their headquarters
to Nishi Hogan-ji Temple.
**[02:12] ---**
"Hakuoki"
**[03:26] ---**
"June, Keio Year 1 (1865)"
**[03:34] ---**
Don't lower your arms!
**[03:36] ---**
Are you already that tired?
**[03:39] ---**
Thus Tanabata... No. Alas, Tanabata...
**[03:45] ---**
Hijikata-*san*, I've brought you tea.
**[03:48] ---**
Sure.
**[03:51] ---**
I'll leave the tea here.
**[03:55] ---**
*Hogyoku Poem Collection*... Is that haiku?
**[04:00] ---**
P-Pardon me! I saw the cover and just...
**[04:04] ---**
You just what?
**[04:05] ---**
Well, I mean...
**[04:08] ---**
I just wondered if you like haiku.
**[04:12] ---**
You look like you think that's strange.
**[04:14] ---**
Yes... No! It's just that
you always seem so busy
**[04:20] ---**
and I've never seen you
writing poetry before.
**[04:25] ---**
The Tanabata Festival
is coming up soon, isn't it?
**[04:32] ---**
I'm sorry! I've said too much again!
**[04:35] ---**
I don't know if I like haiku or not,
**[04:37] ---**
but I always write them down
when they pop into my head.
**[04:41] ---**
That's all it is.
**[04:44] ---**
Doesn't that mean you do like it?
**[04:47] ---**
Okita-*san*!
**[04:48] ---**
Right, Chizuru-*chan*?
**[04:49] ---**
Yes.
**[04:51] ---**
You know what they say:
"The worse you are, the more you like it."
**[04:54] ---**
Isn't that right, Hajime-*kun*?
**[04:57] ---**
Just shut up, Souji!
**[05:02] ---**
Shall we go then, Chizuru-*chan*?
**[05:04] ---**
Looks like Hajime-*kun*
has business with Hijikata-*san*.
**[05:07] ---**
What did you want, anyway?
**[05:09] ---**
Nothing at all. All right, let's go.
**[05:12] ---**
Yes. Please excuse me.
**[05:15] ---**
Chizuru-*chan*,
**[05:16] ---**
did you see how mad Hijikata-*san* got
when he realized the saying fit him?
**[05:21] ---**
But people also say, "When you
enjoy something, you do it well."
**[05:25] ---**
Well, aren't you a positive thinker?
**[05:31] ---**
They showed up again?
**[05:33] ---**
Yes.
**[05:34] ---**
Threatening merchants
and ripping off valuables.
**[05:37] ---**
It's the same style as before.
**[05:39] ---**
But it appears they spoke
with a western accent.
**[05:42] ---**
Western accent?
**[05:44] ---**
Since they weren't in uniform,
**[05:47] ---**
the shop owner filed a report
and confirmed that.
**[05:50] ---**
So their goal isn't just theft?
**[05:54] ---**
Most likely.
**[05:56] ---**
Toshi, you around?
**[05:57] ---**
Yeah, Kondou-*san*. Over here.
**[06:01] ---**
Good news, Toshi!
**[06:06] ---**
Lord Iemochi will be
visiting the capital soon.
**[06:10] ---**
He wants the Shinsengumi
to serve as bodyguards.
**[06:12] ---**
I got the orders directly
from Lord Katamori.
**[06:16] ---**
Even more reason to put out
those annoying fires.
**[06:20] ---**
Understood.
**[06:21] ---**
I will tell everyone to be more vigilant
than ever on their patrols.
**[06:26] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[06:32] ---**
Did something happen?
**[06:33] ---**
Yeah. There's a fake Shinsengumi.
**[06:37] ---**
"A Summer Breeze in Grass,
Time Vanished into the Clouds"
**[06:47] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[06:49] ---**
The uniforms you ordered
will be ready by tomorrow.
**[06:53] ---**
Yo, Heisuke! Chizuru!
**[06:55] ---**
Out shopping? Good work.
**[06:57] ---**
Harada-*san*!
**[06:58] ---**
Oh, Sano-*san*.
**[07:00] ---**
Damn it, if you were coming,
why couldn't you show up sooner?
**[07:05] ---**
Did something happen?
**[07:07] ---**
They mistook Heisuke
for a fake Shinsengumi?
**[07:11] ---**
Yes.
**[07:12] ---**
When we passed that store back there,
**[07:14] ---**
we saw guys just walking away
with rolls of fabric.
**[07:17] ---**
I stepped in to help, but...
**[07:20] ---**
I'm Heisuke Toudou, Captain of
the 8th Division of the Shinsengumi!
**[07:25] ---**
Shinsengumi my ass!
You aren't even in uniform.
**[07:28] ---**
You're one of those fake Shinsengumi!
**[07:33] ---**
And they laughed at me!
**[07:35] ---**
I tried to get them,
**[07:36] ---**
but they slipped away
when I was grabbing the fabric.
**[07:39] ---**
How pathetic!
**[07:42] ---**
They won't get off that easy next time!
**[07:45] ---**
Oh, and Chizuru,
I'll go with you again tomorrow.
**[07:49] ---**
They might show up again.
**[07:52] ---**
Heisuke, aren't you on patrol tomorrow?
**[07:55] ---**
Oh, that's right...
**[07:59] ---**
Chizuru, be careful tomorrow.
**[08:00] ---**
I will.
**[08:03] ---**
We're back.
**[08:04] ---**
Sorry for the wait, Gen-*san*!
**[08:06] ---**
Welcome home.
**[08:10] ---**
Yukimura-*kun* always chooses
the freshest items. That helps a lot!
**[08:16] ---**
Okita-*san*? What's the matter?
**[08:20] ---**
You were so late,
I thought I'd fall asleep.
**[08:23] ---**
I couldn't wait,
so I just started drinking.
**[08:27] ---**
On an empty stomach,
it went straight to my head. Feels great!
**[08:30] ---**
Yeah, but you're always
drinking, Shinpatsu-*san*.
**[08:33] ---**
Sweetfish? I'm itching
to try my hand at it.
**[08:36] ---**
It's all yours, Saito-*san*.
**[08:40] ---**
Welcome home, Kondou-*san*.
**[08:42] ---**
Hey!
**[08:44] ---**
Oh, today is sweetfish?
That's exciting, isn't it, Toshi?
**[08:49] ---**
I suppose so.
**[08:51] ---**
I'll prepare it straight away.
**[08:53] ---**
Isami-*san*, Toshi-*san*,
just wait a little longer.
**[08:56] ---**
Thanks, Saito-*kun*, Gen-*san*!
**[09:04] ---**
What're you doing
getting drunk alone, Shinpachi?
**[09:07] ---**
It's your fault for being late!
**[09:19] ---**
Chizuru, I'll take
the change to the treasurer.
**[09:22] ---**
Thanks, Heisuke-*kun*.
**[09:28] ---**
Sakai-*kun*?
**[09:30] ---**
Ah, Toudou-*san*?
**[09:32] ---**
I'll leave the receipt
and change right here.
**[09:35] ---**
I appreciate it.
**[09:40] ---**
Is this all of it?
**[09:43] ---**
Well, yeah.
**[09:46] ---**
It isn't enough.
**[09:47] ---**
I gave you all of it. See?
**[09:51] ---**
Oh man, sorry! There was more.
**[09:56] ---**
Return confirmed.
**[09:58] ---**
Hey there, Heisuke. You sure
you didn't do that on purpose?
**[10:01] ---**
Just gonna pocket the change, huh?
**[10:05] ---**
Shinpatsu-*san*, Sano-*san*,
you guys are awful!
**[10:07] ---**
I know my wallet is
a little light right now...
**[10:11] ---**
What do you want, anyway?
**[10:13] ---**
You were late, so we came
to get you, of course.
**[10:16] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[10:18] ---**
We ran out of booze,
so we have to go out drinking!
**[10:23] ---**
I just said I've got no money.
**[10:25] ---**
There is money!
That's what Sakai-*kun* is here for.
**[10:29] ---**
Our young frontrunner in battle
wouldn't chicken out now, would he?
**[10:33] ---**
Sakai-*kun*...?
**[10:37] ---**
Understood.
**[10:39] ---**
However, I'm deducting the amount
from your next paycheck.
**[10:42] ---**
--All right!
--Yeah! We got it!
**[10:44] ---**
Thanks, Sakai-*kun*.
We won't forget it, man.
**[10:46] ---**
I guess you three
won't need any sweetfish.
**[10:49] ---**
Looks like you'll get
a piece, then. Lucky thing.
**[10:53] ---**
Huh? I never said I wasn't eating, Souji.
**[10:56] ---**
I like sweetfish, too.
I'll eat before I go out!
**[10:59] ---**
So, we go out after eating?
**[11:01] ---**
--Sure.
--Hey!
**[11:03] ---**
You better be back before curfew!
**[11:05] ---**
What about your meal, Hijikata-*san*?
**[11:08] ---**
I'll eat afterward.
**[11:10] ---**
But sweetfish is so much better
hot off the grill...
**[11:13] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*, would you go
call everyone to dinner?
**[11:17] ---**
Yes.
**[11:18] ---**
Everyone, it's time to eat!
**[11:28] ---**
My word, how lively!
**[11:31] ---**
Aren't you all having a good time?
**[11:33] ---**
Oh, Itou-*san*!
**[11:34] ---**
Why don't you join us for once?
**[11:37] ---**
I wouldn't think of turning down
an invitation from you, Kondou-*san*.
**[11:41] ---**
I haven't seen much of you all recently,
so I'm happy to join.
**[11:45] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[11:47] ---**
Sure, have a seat!
**[11:50] ---**
Did it just get stuffy in here?
**[11:54] ---**
Here you go.
**[11:55] ---**
Well, thank you! Don't mind if I do.
**[11:58] ---**
Hajime-*kun*, this stew is delicious.
**[12:00] ---**
Yeah. Gen-*san* made that.
**[12:12] ---**
Yukimura?
**[12:22] ---**
You're letting us go?
**[12:24] ---**
We're in your debt.
**[12:26] ---**
Thanks.
**[12:38] ---**
What happened here, Sannan-*san*?
**[12:41] ---**
You have my sincere apologies.
**[12:43] ---**
By the time I noticed, the four
Fury soldiers had already escaped.
**[12:48] ---**
Sannan-*san*, your dinner--
**[12:49] ---**
You get the hell out of here!
**[12:51] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[12:54] ---**
I'll leave it right here.
**[12:59] ---**
I am certain I locked it this morning.
**[13:02] ---**
I cannot imagine them
breaking out on their own.
**[13:07] ---**
Which means the unthinkable...
**[13:09] ---**
At any rate, capturing the escapees
quickly must be our top priority now.
**[13:14] ---**
You are right.
**[13:18] ---**
Listen. Search for those four Furies
and bring them back immediately.
**[13:23] ---**
But if they resist,
we can kill them, right?
**[13:26] ---**
It cannot be helped.
**[13:28] ---**
We've gradually improved
the medicine, but...
**[13:31] ---**
...once the thirst for blood
overpowers their reasoning,
**[13:34] ---**
they'll be too much to handle.
**[13:37] ---**
However, Furies sleep during
the day, so they don't move then.
**[13:40] ---**
To find them, you must blend into
the night and face them in the darkness.
**[13:45] ---**
Can I count on you all?
**[13:47] ---**
Yes.
**[13:49] ---**
Do not speak of this to anyone.
**[13:51] ---**
You must not draw attention to yourselves.
**[13:53] ---**
All right with you, Kondou-*san*?
**[13:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:00] ---**
Wake up, Heisuke-*kun*! Harada-*san*!
**[14:04] ---**
Nagakura-*san*!
**[14:05] ---**
They completely broke curfew, didn't they?
**[14:09] ---**
You idiots!
**[14:11] ---**
What the hell were you doing until now?!
**[14:14] ---**
Your voice is so loud...
**[14:15] ---**
--In that case, Sakai-*kun*,
--What the hell are you always thinking?!
**[14:17] ---**
--will you go along
to pick up the uniforms
--What the hell are you always thinking?!
**[14:20] ---**
--so Yukimura-*kun*
doesn't have to do it alone?
--Heisuke, you have patrol duty today!
**[14:23] ---**
--Very well.
--I know! That's why we came back!
**[14:24] ---**
--We'll be back later.
--I know! That's why we came back!
**[14:29] ---**
Chizuru-*chan.*
**[14:30] ---**
The First Division will join you
since we're on patrol anyway.
**[14:34] ---**
All right.
**[14:46] ---**
Recently, it feels like
we're getting a lot of cold stares.
**[14:50] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[14:52] ---**
So what?
**[14:53] ---**
It just means the Shinsengumi
is that well-known.
**[14:56] ---**
I suppose so.
**[14:58] ---**
I do still feel proud every time
I put on this uniform.
**[15:03] ---**
You're Sakai-*kun*, right?
**[15:05] ---**
I'm glad you feel that way.
**[15:07] ---**
Absolutely.
**[15:08] ---**
Even though I chose to live by the sword,
**[15:10] ---**
there aren't many places
where I can put my skills to use.
**[15:14] ---**
This way, I can even earn some money
to send to my parents in the country.
**[15:18] ---**
To your parents?
**[15:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:21] ---**
I don't have any siblings,
so if I can't live nearby,
**[15:24] ---**
I feel it's the least I can do.
**[15:27] ---**
I'm an only child, too,
but have no way to repay my father.
**[15:32] ---**
You're a good person, Sakai-*san*.
**[15:33] ---**
I don't know about that...
**[15:35] ---**
If you have parents,
you help your parents.
**[15:37] ---**
If you have friends,
you help your friends.
**[15:40] ---**
Doesn't everyone do their best
to support somebody?
**[15:43] ---**
That means you too, Okita-*san*.
**[15:46] ---**
You don't know me well enough to say that.
**[15:48] ---**
Ah, I'm sorry.
**[15:51] ---**
I want to do my best to help
the Shinsengumi, too.
**[15:54] ---**
Good for you.
**[15:55] ---**
"Fabrics"
**[15:58] ---**
We're going to make our rounds.
You two wait here.
**[16:02] ---**
All right. Thank you, as always.
**[16:05] ---**
I'm not doing this for you.
We just need to get those uniforms.
**[16:09] ---**
Oh. Right.
**[16:18] ---**
Excuse me.
**[16:19] ---**
"Thriving Business"
**[16:22] ---**
Pardon me, is anyone here?
**[16:29] ---**
Hey, yeah. Come on in.
**[16:32] ---**
What'd ya need, again?
**[16:33] ---**
We've come to pick up
the uniforms we ordered.
**[16:36] ---**
Ah, they aren't ready yet.
**[16:39] ---**
Why don't ya leave for today
and come back another time?
**[16:43] ---**
The agreement was for today, though.
**[16:46] ---**
Would you mind calling the manager?
**[16:48] ---**
Sorry, but he's out right now.
**[16:52] ---**
Sakai-*san*.
**[16:55] ---**
I guess it can't be helped, then.
We'll return another time.
**[16:58] ---**
Let's go, Yukimura-*kun*.
**[17:00] ---**
Oh... yes.
**[17:06] ---**
--Wait!
--Yukimura-*kun*, run!
**[17:08] ---**
Okay!
**[17:11] ---**
Well, if it isn't the fake
Shinsengumi from yesterday.
**[17:15] ---**
Where's youse think
you goin' in such a hurry?
**[17:18] ---**
Kill 'em!
**[17:22] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*!
**[17:31] ---**
What the...?
**[17:33] ---**
--Yukimura-*kun*!
--Hold it!
**[17:38] ---**
Sakai-*san*!
**[17:39] ---**
Run! Quick!
**[17:42] ---**
But...!
**[17:55] ---**
Let's go, Yukimura-*kun*!
**[17:57] ---**
Okay.
**[18:06] ---**
What the hell ya doin'?!
**[18:08] ---**
Why ain't you chasin' em?
**[18:10] ---**
Ain't no way I was beatin' that guy.
**[18:13] ---**
But now, maybe I got a chance.
**[18:16] ---**
All righty, I'm off to kill.
**[18:20] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*, at least... yourself...
**[18:23] ---**
I will not leave you, Sakai-*san*!
**[18:26] ---**
Tell Okita-*san* and
the others what happened.
**[18:29] ---**
A blood trail.
**[18:31] ---**
Yeah. He must be nearby.
**[18:33] ---**
Where is he?
**[18:35] ---**
--Hurry!
--Keep looking.
**[18:37] ---**
I promise to return. Stay right here!
**[18:48] ---**
There he is! Don't let him get away!
**[19:02] ---**
Father...
**[19:03] ---**
Mother...
**[19:10] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*...?
**[19:12] ---**
It's all right now.
**[19:14] ---**
If you drink this, you'll survive.
**[19:25] ---**
Yukimura-*kun* and Sakai-*kun* are missing?
**[19:30] ---**
When we raced back,
**[19:32] ---**
the store employees were all
in the back room, dead...
**[19:37] ---**
...and the uniforms had been stolen.
**[19:41] ---**
Weren't you supposed
to be with them, Souji?
**[19:43] ---**
Cool it, Heisuke.
**[19:46] ---**
It's fine, Sano-*san*.
I'm wondering the same thing.
**[19:49] ---**
Why didn't I at least go into the shop?
**[19:52] ---**
I would've killed them all!
**[19:54] ---**
You're right. I'm sorry.
**[19:57] ---**
I was supposed to go with them, too.
**[19:59] ---**
Vice Commander, if I may?
**[20:01] ---**
Is that you, Yamazaki? Enter.
**[20:04] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[20:07] ---**
It seems the men in the sword fight
were ronin and speaking in Tosa dialect.
**[20:12] ---**
Tosa dialect?
**[20:14] ---**
There sure are a lot of people coming from
the west to imitate the Shinsengumi.
**[20:19] ---**
Indeed.
**[20:20] ---**
Fine, but let's split up
and search for Chizuru again!
**[20:23] ---**
No. We've been entrusted
as Lord Iemochi's escorts.
**[20:26] ---**
We can't make this incident public.
**[20:31] ---**
Toshi-*san*...
**[20:32] ---**
If these enemies simply held
a grudge against the Shinsengumi,
**[20:36] ---**
they would have killed them there
and the bodies would already be found.
**[20:40] ---**
So since they haven't been found,
**[20:42] ---**
it means Chizuru and Sakai
are either hiding, or were abducted?
**[20:46] ---**
Yes.
**[20:47] ---**
We'll have inspectors search for them.
**[20:49] ---**
Meanwhile, just carry out
your squad duties as normal.
**[20:53] ---**
That is all.
**[20:54] ---**
Are you serious, Hijikata-*san*?
**[20:59] ---**
You think he's the type to joke?
**[21:07] ---**
Yamazaki.
**[21:09] ---**
Take care of it.
**[21:10] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[21:12] ---**
Let's go, Heisuke. You too, Shinpachi.
**[21:18] ---**
Toshi-*san*, is this really the best way?
**[21:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:25] ---**
The Tanabata Festival
is coming up soon, isn't it?
**[21:35] ---**
Nobody would last long
after losing this much.
**[21:39] ---**
Chizuru...
**[21:40] ---**
Ouch! What the hell, man?!
**[21:42] ---**
Quit talking out of your ass!
**[21:44] ---**
We don't know if that's Chizuru's!
**[21:47] ---**
--Anyway, let's get searching.
--Yeah.
**[21:50] ---**
Heisuke, take Kamogawa.
Shinpachi, go west. I'll search the north.
**[21:53] ---**
--Got it.
--Okay.
**[21:55] ---**
Chizuru! Sakai-*kun*!
**[21:59] ---**
You open?
**[22:00] ---**
--Sure. How many?
--Two.
**[22:03] ---**
Come on in. I'll open up.
**[22:06] ---**
Thank you, as always.
**[22:08] ---**
I'm not doing this for you...
**[22:13] ---**
Today was pretty good, eh?
**[22:15] ---**
Oh, for sure.
**[22:18] ---**
That there's Okita, the Shinsengumi!
**[22:20] ---**
Hey, fellas...
**[22:24] ---**
Stop! Wait up!
**[22:34] ---**
Well, isn't that too bad.
**[22:36] ---**
This is a dead end.
**[22:38] ---**
You know something, don't you?
**[22:41] ---**
If you don't spit it out, I'll kill you!
**[22:44] ---**
You government dog!
**[22:56] ---**
Stay out of my way, Hajime-*kun*.
**[22:59] ---**
If you kill them, they'll never give you
information about Yukimura or the Furies.
**[23:04] ---**
I don't give a damn about the Furies.
That's Hijikata-*san*'s fault, anyway.
**[23:11] ---**
Souji, you need to calm down.
**[23:14] ---**
"Calm down"? She could be killed
while we're out here talking!
**[23:19] ---**
Hajime-*kun*, you should just do
what Hijikata-*san* told you.
**[23:24] ---**
I'll find her myself.
**[23:38] ---**
"Udon"
**[23:38] ---**
Here you go.
**[23:40] ---**
I'll leave the money here.
**[23:41] ---**
Thank ya kindly.
**[23:43] ---**
Yukimura...?
**[23:54] ---**
--Gi-Give us blood!
--W-Wait!
**[23:56] ---**
Calm down! I'll go get the medicine!
**[23:58] ---**
Looks like you're in trouble.
**[24:01] ---**
It's you! Good thing you're here.
**[24:03] ---**
Quick, give them some of that medicine!
**[24:06] ---**
Why don't you let them drink
real blood for once?
**[24:09] ---**
Don't be an idiot!
What the hell you thinking?
**[24:12] ---**
A posse from the Shinsengumi
is posted out front.
**[24:15] ---**
What?
**[24:27] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*?
**[24:29] ---**
Where is this?
**[24:32] ---**
There's no mistake.
**[24:34] ---**
These are the inspectors who
searched the Tosa mansion yesterday.
**[24:46] ---**
Thankfully, those things are
taking care of the Shinsengumi for us.
**[24:50] ---**
Shinsengumi?
**[24:51] ---**
Next, it'll be your turn.
**[26:43] ---**
What happened, Kazama?
**[26:45] ---**
The Tosa Clan may be taking advantage
of Shogun's trip to plot an assassination.
**[26:50] ---**
We're being asked to investigate,
and if it's true, put a stop to it.
**[26:54] ---**
So what are we going to do?
**[26:57] ---**
There's no other choice.
**[26:58] ---**
We go to the capital.
**[27:02] ---**
"Chapter 2 Preview"
**[27:07] ---**
I swear I'll rescue Chizuru-*chan*.
**[27:10] ---**
I've got to get back to everyone!
**[27:12] ---**
We're just getting started.
**[27:14] ---**
What in the world is happening to my body?
**[27:17] ---**
Let's go, Heisuke.
**[27:18] ---**
How dare you draw your sword on me.
**[27:21] ---**
We'll finish off
every single one of them...
**[27:24] ---**
...by our own hands.
**[27:25] ---**

**[00:03] ---**
Oh, Harada-*san*!
**[00:07] ---**
Osen-*san*.
**[00:08] ---**
You're up early.
**[00:10] ---**
I have to make a rush delivery.
**[00:13] ---**
How's Chizuru-*chan* doing?
**[00:18] ---**
Actually...
**[00:25] ---**
Chizuru-*chan* is missing?
**[00:28] ---**
And she might have been
captured by rogue samurai?
**[00:32] ---**
What in the world were you all doing?
**[00:35] ---**
You claim to be keeping
peace in the capital
**[00:37] ---**
but you can't even protect one girl!
**[00:40] ---**
There's nothing I can say.
**[00:42] ---**
It's disgraceful.
**[00:46] ---**
You're owning up to it, then.
**[00:49] ---**
It wouldn't help at all to make excuses.
**[00:53] ---**
Be careful on your way home, Osen-*san*.
**[00:56] ---**
If I find anything out,
I'll contact headquarters.
**[01:00] ---**
Thanks.
**[01:19] ---**
"Hakuoki"
**[02:38] ---**
Heisuke!
**[02:41] ---**
Did you find anything?
**[02:43] ---**
Not even a clue.
**[02:46] ---**
I see.
**[02:47] ---**
Where in the world did those two go?
**[02:50] ---**
Damn it!
**[02:51] ---**
Even after the inspectors were killed
**[02:53] ---**
our only way to search is to
wander around blindly like this?
**[03:00] ---**
Anyway, let's get some food
and go on patrol.
**[03:07] ---**
I examined the remains
of the dead soldiers.
**[03:11] ---**
The bite marks on their necks are
undoubtedly the work of Furies.
**[03:18] ---**
To think they were attacked by Furies...
**[03:23] ---**
The fact that inspectors
staking out a Tosa mansion
**[03:27] ---**
were killed by Furies must mean...
**[03:30] ---**
...there's some kind of connection to
the Furies that escaped the Tosa Clan.
**[03:37] ---**
Wait!
**[03:41] ---**
We have to clear this
with Kondou-*san* first.
**[03:47] ---**
Toshi.
**[03:48] ---**
If we did something like that,
**[03:50] ---**
it would pit Aizu against Tosa in battle.
**[03:53] ---**
Kondo-*san*, do you really
understand the situation?
**[03:56] ---**
Four of our allies were killed
and two of our troops are missing.
**[04:01] ---**
We have to be prepared
to face that battle!
**[04:04] ---**
I feel the same way
about our troops, Toshi.
**[04:07] ---**
Still, we can't jeopardize
the Aizu Clan's position for that.
**[04:15] ---**
With your permission,
perhaps I could be of some assistance.
**[04:21] ---**
I didn't intend to eavesdrop,
**[04:24] ---**
but it's unusual to hear Hijikata-*kun*'s
voice resonate with anger like that.
**[04:30] ---**
Itou-*san*...
**[04:33] ---**
"Twilight,
Hawk Moths at the Lantern"
**[04:41] ---**
I, Itou, fortunately have connections
in the different Western clans.
**[04:45] ---**
I shall talk to the higher-ups
in the Tosa Clan
**[04:49] ---**
and persuade them to give us permission
to investigate their mansions.
**[04:53] ---**
You can do that?
**[04:55] ---**
Recently, the Tosa Clan has become
very upset at the selfish behavior
**[05:00] ---**
of the lordless samurai.
**[05:02] ---**
Surely they don't want to draw
the Shinsengumi's attention right now.
**[05:06] ---**
I see.
**[05:08] ---**
How about it, Toshi?
Should we leave this one to Itou-*san*?
**[05:15] ---**
I understand why you
wouldn't want to be in my debt,
**[05:19] ---**
but for the sake of the victims, too,
**[05:22] ---**
shouldn't we be working together
as one right now, Vice Commander?
**[05:28] ---**
Fine.
**[05:31] ---**
Take care of it.
**[05:32] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[05:56] ---**
That Souji...
**[05:57] ---**
He didn't touch his food again?
**[06:01] ---**
It seems he was up all night
searching for Yukimura-*kun*.
**[06:04] ---**
He already left for patrol this morning.
**[06:06] ---**
If he keeps that up,
he'll ruin his health.
**[06:09] ---**
He's been looking pale recently.
I'm worried about him.
**[06:23] ---**
I'll leave the rest to you.
**[06:28] ---**
They're rogue samurai from Tougoku.
**[06:33] ---**
Well, that was a waste of my time.
**[06:37] ---**
We still can't enter
any Tosa mansions, right?
**[06:40] ---**
Right.
**[06:41] ---**
Having to ask Itou-*san* for help...
**[06:44] ---**
Has he lost his touch?
**[06:46] ---**
The Vice Commander is doing
a Vice Commander's work.
**[06:54] ---**
You need to eat properly.
**[06:56] ---**
Vice Commander's orders.
**[07:08] ---**
I am Kashitaro Itou of the Shinsengumi.
**[07:12] ---**
Would you please announce me
to Yoshida-*sama*?
**[07:15] ---**
That is absolutely no concern of ours,
**[07:18] ---**
so please, withdraw.
**[07:20] ---**
You have been warned.
Do whatever you wish.
**[07:25] ---**
Oh, it's you!
**[07:29] ---**
From the Satsuma clan, I believe.
**[07:33] ---**
How lovely to see the western
clans getting along so well.
**[07:38] ---**
I wonder what you all were talking about.
**[07:45] ---**
Have you seen anything unusual?
**[07:47] ---**
No.
**[07:48] ---**
I'm taking this sword with me.
**[07:51] ---**
No matter what, please be courteous
to those Shinsengumi troops.
**[07:56] ---**
Gotcha.
**[07:58] ---**
I know that's a costume,
but ain't it scary how alike they look?
**[08:02] ---**
Yeah. It's darn creepy.
**[08:06] ---**
What in the world do they plan
to do with me?
**[08:10] ---**
And what happened to Sakai-*san*?
**[08:13] ---**
Tell Okita-*san* and the others
what happened.
**[08:18] ---**
I hope he's safe...
**[08:22] ---**
I've got to get back to everyone!
**[08:30] ---**
Why am I here?
**[08:34] ---**
When that happened,
I was prepared for death
**[08:36] ---**
It's all right now.
**[08:38] ---**
--and then, Yukimura-*kun*...?
--If you drink this, you'll survive.
**[08:42] ---**
There's no trace of those
horrible sword wounds.
**[08:45] ---**
Is it because of that medicine?
**[08:48] ---**
What in the world
is happening to my body?
**[08:55] ---**
A Chizuru lookalike?
**[08:56] ---**
Yes. One of the inspectors
apparently spotted them.
**[09:00] ---**
The inspector tried to follow,
but lost them.
**[09:04] ---**
Where was that?
**[09:07] ---**
I guess this is what it means
to be grasping at straws.
**[09:12] ---**
Yeah. If we cover all
the suspicious locations one by one,
**[09:16] ---**
we should eventually
come across Chizuru and Sakai.
**[09:20] ---**
This place sure is bleak, though.
**[09:23] ---**
I almost expect a ghost to appear...
**[09:26] ---**
--Chizuru!
--Chizuru?
**[09:35] ---**
Chizuru!
**[09:40] ---**
Heisuke!
**[09:56] ---**
It's freezing!
**[09:57] ---**
An abandoned well... We've been had.
**[10:00] ---**
Nobody will ever come over here.
**[10:04] ---**
The bottom of that well is ice-cold.
**[10:07] ---**
How perfect that they're going
to freeze to death in the summer.
**[10:12] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:17] ---**
Hey! Chizuru!
**[10:18] ---**
Be quiet! There might be
enemies wandering around.
**[10:22] ---**
If that had been Chizuru, we'd already...
**[10:23] ---**
Zo wha we 'onna oo?
**[10:29] ---**
A little higher.
**[10:30] ---**
Okay. How about this?
**[10:33] ---**
Yeah, that's good.
**[10:37] ---**
I wonder if Chizuru even remembers...
**[10:42] ---**
It suddenly started raining.
**[10:45] ---**
You cried, saying Orihime and Hikoboshi's
stars wouldn't be able to meet.
**[10:50] ---**
I tried to comfort you.
I told you they were bound by fate
**[10:54] ---**
so they would
definitely still meet, right?
**[10:59] ---**
Once Uncle Kodo arrives,
**[11:01] ---**
we can finally be reunited, too.
**[11:05] ---**
And then, the two of us will
rebuild the Yukimura family.
**[11:11] ---**
Itou-*san* got us a contract
from the Tosa Clan.
**[11:15] ---**
Now, we Shinsengumi can finally conduct
our official government business.
**[11:19] ---**
Yes!
**[11:22] ---**
What happened to Harada and Heisuke?
**[11:24] ---**
According to Yamazaki,
**[11:26] ---**
they heard that an inspector had
seen someone that looked like Yukimura
**[11:30] ---**
and went out in the evening
to investigate.
**[11:33] ---**
I see.
**[11:36] ---**
At any rate, we must hurry
to rescue Sakai and Yukimura.
**[11:40] ---**
Be prepared for anything!
**[11:42] ---**
I'll be the one to save Chizuru.
**[11:45] ---**
Vice Commander, if anyone
raises a hand against us...
**[11:49] ---**
We can slice them, right?
**[11:51] ---**
Do your best to keep it sheathed.
**[11:54] ---**
You should tell our enemies that instead.
**[12:02] ---**
D-Damn it! We don't have time
to be stuck down here shivering!
**[12:07] ---**
We already tried everything
we could think of.
**[12:10] ---**
There's gotta be some other way
**[12:13] ---**
but my brain is freezing, too.
**[12:17] ---**
If I had to spend the rest of my life
in a well, I'd rather be with Okiku
**[12:20] ---**
from "The Haunted Bancho Plate
Mansion" than with you, Heisuke.
**[12:24] ---**
How can you joke at a time like this?
**[12:27] ---**
Maybe that person we just saw
was Chizuru's ghost!
**[12:32] ---**
Quit talking out of your ass!
**[12:34] ---**
Chizuru must still be alive somewhere!
**[12:38] ---**
You're right...
**[12:40] ---**
But still,
**[12:42] ---**
why does the bottom of a well
have to be so cold even in summer?
**[12:47] ---**
Harada and Heisuke still haven't returned?
**[12:50] ---**
Right.
**[12:51] ---**
I doubt they'll get in any trouble
if they're together,
**[12:55] ---**
but at a time like this...?
**[12:58] ---**
It can't be helped.
**[12:59] ---**
Men!
**[13:01] ---**
We now depart to conduct our official
government business at the Tosa mansion!
**[13:15] ---**
"Notice to the Tosa Feudal Retainer"
**[13:16] ---**
The Shinsengumi are here
on official business!
**[13:19] ---**
Shi-Shinsengumi are here!
**[13:21] ---**
Don't move!
**[13:22] ---**
If they resist, cut them down!
**[13:27] ---**
Heisuke, keep it together!
If you fall asleep, you'll die!
**[13:30] ---**
--Sano-*san*, it's no use. I'm finished.
**[13:32] ---**
--What's wrong?
--Sano-*san*, it's no use. I'm finished.
**[13:34] ---**
Don't be an idiot, Heisuke!
**[13:36] ---**
What was that?
**[13:40] ---**
Is somebody there?
**[13:43] ---**
That voice... Is it Osen-*san*?
**[13:45] ---**
Hey!
**[13:47] ---**
We're here! Inside the well!
**[13:49] ---**
Osen-*san*, are you there?
**[13:49] ---**
Princess...
**[13:50] ---**
Osen-*san*, are you there?
**[13:50] ---**
I can't help it.
**[13:52] ---**
It's me, Sanosuke Harada
of the Shinsengumi!
**[13:52] ---**
We can't just leave them like this not after we found them.
**[13:57] ---**
Nonetheless...
**[13:57] ---**
Osen-*san*!
**[13:57] ---**
Just go get some light and rope.
**[13:58] ---**
Hey! Save us!
**[13:58] ---**
Just go get some light and rope.
**[14:01] ---**
Osen-*san*, could you give us a hand?
**[14:01] ---**
You mustn't be seen, so I'll
take care of the rest somehow.
**[14:06] ---**
Save us!
**[14:07] ---**
We fell into the well
and can't climb out!
**[14:07] ---**
Understood.
**[14:10] ---**
Osen-*san*!
**[14:11] ---**
Darn it!
**[14:19] ---**
I have a bad feeling about this.
**[14:26] ---**
I know you're there.
**[14:31] ---**
Now where are you going
this late at night?
**[14:34] ---**
None of your damn business.
**[14:36] ---**
What is that costume you're wearing?
**[14:38] ---**
Trying to look like a Tosa fox
disguised as Chizuru Yukimura?
**[14:43] ---**
So you were the one
sneaking around in the background.
**[14:47] ---**
With a fox's shallow wit, too.
Your tail is showing.
**[14:52] ---**
If you're going to get in my way...
**[14:57] ---**
How dare you draw your sword on me.
**[14:59] ---**
Begone!
**[15:08] ---**
Relax.
**[15:10] ---**
I'll take you down with one blow
so you don't suffer.
**[15:19] ---**
You'll regret this!
**[15:25] ---**
I'll let you show me the way, then.
**[15:33] ---**
Sounds like the Shinsengumi
are comin' at us from all sides.
**[15:37] ---**
Ain't it be better to just
finish 'er off, then?
**[15:41] ---**
Yeah, but we gotta keep her as a hostage
until the Shogun's assassination is done.
**[15:46] ---**
A lil' brat like that?
**[15:47] ---**
Yep.
**[15:49] ---**
"Whatever happens,
be courteous," she said.
**[15:54] ---**
You! Up!
**[15:57] ---**
Hey, wake up.
**[15:59] ---**
Hey!
**[16:03] ---**
Wh-Where'd she go?
**[16:05] ---**
Don't let her escape!
**[16:08] ---**
Ahh, we're saved!
**[16:11] ---**
We really owe you, Osen-*san*.
**[16:13] ---**
I'm frozen to the bone.
**[16:16] ---**
The only thing you should chill
in a well is watermelon!
**[16:19] ---**
What were you even doing here?
**[16:22] ---**
We were chasing someone that
looked like Chizuru, and fell in.
**[16:26] ---**
Someone who looked like Chizuru-*chan*?
**[16:29] ---**
Still, it's amazing that you found us
out here this late at night, Osen-*san*.
**[16:35] ---**
Huh? Y-Yeah, I guess.
**[16:37] ---**
I-I was so worried about Chizuru,
I just couldn't sit still.
**[16:43] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[16:44] ---**
I heard there's a mansion up ahead where
some ronin from the west have gathered.
**[16:50] ---**
I thought it might have
something to do with Chizuru-*chan*.
**[16:55] ---**
Where is that?
**[16:57] ---**
--Wait!
--Stop her!
**[17:01] ---**
Quit givin' us so much trouble!
**[17:10] ---**
Kazama-*san*?
**[17:13] ---**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[17:16] ---**
I was captured by those men.
**[17:20] ---**
What's that?
**[17:22] ---**
Knave!
**[17:24] ---**
Get them!
**[17:26] ---**
Just what I would expect from a fox.
**[17:29] ---**
--Come.
--Where do you think you're going?
**[17:31] ---**
--Please let go!
--Hold it!
**[17:32] ---**
That Kazama, sticking his nose in...
**[17:35] ---**
It's the Shinsengumi!
**[17:37] ---**
You will let us in to search!
**[17:39] ---**
Not them!
**[17:41] ---**
The Shinsengumi?
**[17:42] ---**
Why here?
**[17:43] ---**
Kill 'em! Kill 'em! Kill 'em!
**[17:45] ---**
Sounds like a confession to me.
**[17:47] ---**
Let's go, Heisuke.
**[17:49] ---**
Give me a break!
**[17:51] ---**
I'll still never give up on Chizuru!
**[17:54] ---**
After them!
**[17:58] ---**
--Don't let them get away!
--Maybe we don't need to make
an appearance after all.
**[18:02] ---**
It seems so.
**[18:03] ---**
Let's leave the rest
to Harada-*san* and the others.
**[18:06] ---**
Understood.
**[18:10] ---**
Chizuru, are you there?
**[18:15] ---**
Chizuru! Sakai!
**[18:17] ---**
Harada-*san*! Heisuke-*kun*!
**[18:19] ---**
Chizuru! Are you all right?
**[18:24] ---**
So the Mibu wolves have
finally sniffed out their prey.
**[18:27] ---**
Kazama, why here...?
**[18:30] ---**
I see. You're one of them.
**[18:33] ---**
You idiot.
**[18:34] ---**
Wait a min--
**[18:44] ---**
Damn it!
**[18:52] ---**
So it was you, huh?
**[18:54] ---**
I need to repay you for Ikeda-ya.
**[18:56] ---**
What a joke. You couldn't even
protect one woman.
**[19:00] ---**
Okita-*san*! Kazama-*san* saved me!
**[19:07] ---**
Kazama, perhaps we should
let them finish this.
**[19:19] ---**
Demon woman. I will come for you soon.
**[19:28] ---**
So you were alive after all.
**[19:30] ---**
Yes. Thank you very much.
**[19:39] ---**
Are you all right, Yukimura?
**[19:42] ---**
Hajime-*kun*, our work isn't over yet.
**[19:46] ---**
Chizuru! Man, I was so worried!
**[19:49] ---**
Are you injured?
**[19:50] ---**
I'm all right. I'm sorry for
making you worry about me.
**[19:54] ---**
And Sakai-*san* is...?
**[19:57] ---**
You weren't together?
**[19:59] ---**
No.
**[20:06] ---**
Chizuru-*chan*, you're okay!
**[20:08] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[20:10] ---**
Welcome home, Yukimura-*kun*.
**[20:12] ---**
I'm so glad that you're safe!
**[20:18] ---**
Thank you very much, everyone.
**[20:24] ---**
Hijikata-*san*!
**[20:26] ---**
Um...
**[20:27] ---**
The rogue samurai who captured me
are plotting to assassinate the Shogun.
**[20:35] ---**
To assassinate the Shogun?!
**[20:42] ---**
Leave the rest of this to us.
**[20:45] ---**
I apologize.
**[20:47] ---**
I put you in danger.
**[20:50] ---**
No... Thank you for saving me.
**[20:55] ---**
It's good that you made it
back to us safely.
**[20:57] ---**
Yes!
**[21:00] ---**
I'm glad Chizuru made it back safe,
but she's been really down ever since.
**[21:05] ---**
She's probably still worried
about Sakai-*kun*.
**[21:09] ---**
If that was Sakai's blood,
I really doubt he's still alive.
**[21:16] ---**
Why don't we cheer Chizuru up?
**[21:18] ---**
But how?
**[21:21] ---**
"Fabrics"
**[21:22] ---**
C'mon in, folks.
**[21:27] ---**
A yukata for the Tanabata Festival?
I totally forgot!
**[21:31] ---**
If we don't order one soon,
we won't get it in time.
**[21:37] ---**
Hmm... What pattern would
look good on Chizuru?
**[21:41] ---**
I got it! How about
a flashy one like this?
**[21:44] ---**
Glittery, glittery goldfish!
**[21:46] ---**
Eww, my eyes are stinging!
There's no way!
**[21:50] ---**
For Chizuru, something more like this...
**[21:54] ---**
That one's too basic! Check this out...
**[21:57] ---**
Balls of fire!
**[22:00] ---**
Heh. You guys don't get her at all.
**[22:03] ---**
This is the best one here.
**[22:08] ---**
Don't tell me you picked that
because "Yuki" means snow...
**[22:11] ---**
Snow in the summer time is weird!
**[22:13] ---**
Dummy.
**[22:15] ---**
A snow pattern in summer
**[22:17] ---**
is supposed to cool the eyes.
It's the fashion right now.
**[22:20] ---**
And who's more fashionable
than women from the east?
**[22:22] ---**
This'll be perfect for Chizuru.
**[22:24] ---**
You're right! Our hot stud from
Shimabara sure knows his stuff!
**[22:29] ---**
We're the Shinsengumi.
**[22:33] ---**
We require your cooperation to ensure
peace and order in the capital.
**[22:36] ---**
Cooperation? What do you mean?
**[22:41] ---**
I-I understand. Please wait a moment.
**[22:45] ---**
So these are the fake
Shinsengumi we heard about.
**[22:48] ---**
--Fight 'em?
--No. Let's just watch for now.
**[22:51] ---**
If we hold back, we might be
able to learn something.
**[22:54] ---**
P-Please accept this small amount.
**[23:00] ---**
Youse tryin' to screw with us?!
**[23:03] ---**
Whosa hell ya think we yah?
**[23:07] ---**
Shut up, ya little shit!
**[23:09] ---**
That bastard!
**[23:11] ---**
--Hey.
--Huh?
**[23:16] ---**
Weren't we gonna play it cool, Sano-*san*?
**[23:19] ---**
Showing off all by himself...
**[23:23] ---**
What da hell ya doin'?
**[23:24] ---**
You gonna disobey the Shinsengumi?
**[23:26] ---**
What a strange coincidence.
**[23:29] ---**
I, too, fly the Shinsengumi banner.
**[23:32] ---**
Wha--?
**[23:33] ---**
Captain of the Tenth Division
of the Shinsengumi, Sanosuke Harada!
**[23:38] ---**
And I'm Captain of the Second Division
of the Shinsengumi, Shinpachi Nagakura.
**[23:43] ---**
Captain of the Eighth Division
of the Shinsengumi, Heisuke Toudou!
**[23:52] ---**
It'd be a stain on the Shinsengumi name
to draw our swords on scum like you.
**[23:56] ---**
You're an insult to those uniforms.
**[23:59] ---**
Watch it!
**[24:09] ---**
Hey! Leave the uniforms!
**[24:11] ---**
Those were our new ones!
**[24:14] ---**
Damn it!
**[24:30] ---**
It's only starting now.
**[24:33] ---**
I'll show you a thing or two...
**[26:06] ---**
The location of the four escaped
Furies is as yet still unknown.
**[26:13] ---**
And the plot to assassinate
the Shogun is still moving forward...
**[26:18] ---**
What do we do, Toshi?
**[26:21] ---**
The fights were brought to us.
We have to face them.
**[26:25] ---**
We'll finish off every single one of them
**[26:27] ---**
by our own hands.
**[26:31] ---**
"Chapter 3 Preview"
**[26:36] ---**
In this day and age, a person could
lose their life at any moment.
**[26:40] ---**
Oh no! He became a Fury, too?
**[26:42] ---**
He said that's where they're holding
the Shinsengumi who escaped.
**[26:46] ---**
Let's go, Hajime-*kun*!
**[26:47] ---**
So you dogs have come...
**[26:49] ---**
Will you become a soldier or a demon?
**[26:51] ---**
That's the choice you make
when you join the Shinsengumi!
**[26:54] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Somebody...!
**[00:18] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*!
**[00:21] ---**
Here. This will take away the pain.
**[00:34] ---**
Please tell me.
**[00:36] ---**
What is... happening... to my body?
**[00:41] ---**
You are no longer the person
you once were.
**[00:47] ---**
It's all right now.
**[00:49] ---**
If you drink this, you'll survive.
**[00:52] ---**
So it was... that medicine?
**[00:57] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*, that medicine was...?
**[01:01] ---**
Yukimura-*kun*!
**[01:03] ---**
Oh, I am not Yukimura.
**[01:07] ---**
Wait... Then who are you?
**[01:10] ---**
Wait!
**[01:11] ---**
Is Yukimura-*kun* safe?
**[01:13] ---**
Is Yukimura-*kun*...?!
**[01:25] ---**
Sakai-*san*...
**[01:43] ---**
"Hakuoki"
**[02:58] ---**
"The Stars Meet,
Searching the Galaxy"
**[03:05] ---**
It's one thing for Heisuke and Shinpachi,
**[03:07] ---**
but to start trouble
when Harada is with them...
**[03:11] ---**
What do you mean it's "one thing"
for me and Shinpatsu-*san*?
**[03:14] ---**
Sano's the one who threw the first punch!
**[03:17] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[03:18] ---**
Anyway, who cares?
**[03:20] ---**
At least we captured one of
the fake Shinsengumi.
**[03:24] ---**
Why go to a fabric shop
in the first place?
**[03:27] ---**
Well, we went to make
a yukata for Chizuru.
**[03:30] ---**
Huh? For me?
**[03:32] ---**
I see. It is almost Tanabata, isn't it?
**[03:35] ---**
Yeah, that's why.
**[03:37] ---**
Mind your own business.
**[03:39] ---**
Mind our business? Don't you want
to see Chizuru in a yukata, Hijikata-*san*?
**[03:44] ---**
You seem to be forgetting,
but here, she's supposed to be a man.
**[03:50] ---**
We haven't forgotten anything. But...
**[03:53] ---**
...all of us know that
she's truly a woman.
**[04:04] ---**
Did he talk?
**[04:05] ---**
He was stubborn, but yes.
**[04:08] ---**
After Lord Iemochi arrives,
they were planning to
**[04:11] ---**
blend into the guard procession
wearing Shinsengumi uniforms
**[04:14] ---**
and carry out the assassination then.
**[04:17] ---**
Blend into the guard procession?
**[04:19] ---**
If there were any strangers in the group,
we'd spot them instantly.
**[04:23] ---**
No.
**[04:24] ---**
Not if they created a large disturbance
nearby while we were guarding,
**[04:28] ---**
and sneaked in amidst the commotion.
**[04:32] ---**
Create a disturbance...?
**[04:34] ---**
A soldier could fire a pistol
or draw his sword to distract us,
**[04:38] ---**
and the assassins would close in,
pretending to protect Lord Iemochi.
**[04:43] ---**
But the area around the Shogun
is very heavily protected.
**[04:47] ---**
I can't imagine they'd make it in alive...
**[04:51] ---**
So that's what they were planning!
**[04:53] ---**
Yes. For Furies, it may be possible.
**[04:56] ---**
Well of course.
**[04:58] ---**
--Huh?!
--Furies?
**[05:00] ---**
Lord Iemochi's intended assassins
are most likely Furies.
**[05:05] ---**
In the daylight? How is that possible?
**[05:08] ---**
Furies now are probably capable.
**[05:12] ---**
But... Furies? What are you saying?
**[05:15] ---**
Four Fury soldiers disappeared.
**[05:17] ---**
You mean they escaped?
**[05:19] ---**
The evidence suggests so.
**[05:21] ---**
But when?
**[05:22] ---**
The night before Yukimura was captured.
**[05:26] ---**
That's serious! Why didn't you tell us?
**[05:29] ---**
The three of you were
out drinking, remember?
**[05:33] ---**
I'm sorry. We didn't have
a chance to tell you.
**[05:37] ---**
No.
**[05:39] ---**
We were the ones who screwed up.
**[05:40] ---**
While all that was going on...
**[05:43] ---**
What was I thinking?
**[05:45] ---**
So what's the plan?
**[05:46] ---**
At this rate, the Shinsengumi
will be blamed for the assassination.
**[05:52] ---**
Did the prisoner give up
the Furies' hideout location?
**[05:55] ---**
No. He insists he doesn't know.
**[05:58] ---**
We do not have a moment to waste.
**[06:01] ---**
We must move forward with the search.
**[06:03] ---**
This is confidential. We must be discreet.
**[06:06] ---**
It's only for us, in this room.
**[06:08] ---**
No matter what, we must search them out
and put an end to their plan!
**[06:29] ---**
Already the fifth day...
**[06:32] ---**
What rock are they hiding under?
**[07:00] ---**
Hey... the medicine?
**[07:01] ---**
They supposta bring it tonight.
**[07:16] ---**
The Shinsengumi is
starting to sniff around.
**[07:19] ---**
The Shinsengumi?
**[07:20] ---**
We should move somewhere else soon.
Tomorrow even.
**[07:24] ---**
How's the prisoner?
**[07:25] ---**
He was screamin'
and raisin' hell for days,
**[07:28] ---**
then yesterday said he wanted
a brush 'n paper.
**[07:30] ---**
When I gave it to 'em,
started writin' like crazy.
**[07:34] ---**
A brush and paper...?
**[07:36] ---**
He shut up since then, though.
**[07:38] ---**
Ya really think a dude like that
can kill the Shogun?
**[07:48] ---**
We'll make sure he kills him.
**[07:52] ---**
Not even a clue.
**[07:54] ---**
Damn it! Where the hell are they?
**[07:57] ---**
They might not even be in the capital.
**[07:59] ---**
Could be. Until Lord Iemochi arrives,
they might be in another--
**[08:03] ---**
No. They are here.
**[08:06] ---**
They're here in the capital somewhere,
waiting with bated breath.
**[08:20] ---**
He hasn't talked yet?
**[08:21] ---**
No. I apologize.
**[08:23] ---**
However, he is reaching his physical
and mental breaking point.
**[08:28] ---**
We can't let him die on us now.
**[08:42] ---**
It's you... Are you here to rescue me?
**[08:45] ---**
Huh?
**[08:46] ---**
Sorry. They tortured me
into telling them the plan.
**[08:50] ---**
Um... I...
**[08:52] ---**
But I still haven't told them the hideout.
**[08:55] ---**
Hurry and warn the others!
**[09:01] ---**
Where exactly should I go to tell them?
**[09:05] ---**
Are you certain?
**[09:06] ---**
Yes.
**[09:08] ---**
He said that's where they're holding
the Shinsengumi who escaped.
**[09:14] ---**
Why did he give up the hideout
location only after seeing you?
**[09:18] ---**
I do not know.
**[09:20] ---**
He might have mistaken me
for somebody else.
**[09:23] ---**
It doesn't matter. Good work!
**[09:26] ---**
No... I mean, I didn't do...
**[09:31] ---**
We've found the Furies' hideout.
**[09:35] ---**
There's a saké brewery at the location of
an old market in the east of Kamogawa.
**[09:38] ---**
Today, it's basically in ruins.
**[09:41] ---**
That's quite a distance from
the heart of the capital.
**[09:44] ---**
It is a desolate location,
with very little foot traffic at night,
**[09:49] ---**
and it is said that the ghosts of dead
Choshu clan warriors appear in the area.
**[09:54] ---**
The Tosa guys might have spread
that rumor just to keep people away.
**[09:59] ---**
So let's take on both the ghosts and
the Furies and finish the bunch of them.
**[10:06] ---**
You look shocked that I can talk
so lightly about killing other Corpsmen.
**[10:11] ---**
N-No... That's not...
**[10:13] ---**
If they put the existence of
the Shinsengumi at risk,
**[10:18] ---**
then we have no choice but to kill them.
**[10:22] ---**
I see.
**[10:23] ---**
Yamazaki is staking out the saké brewery.
**[10:33] ---**
We raid them tonight.
**[10:41] ---**
I thought dinner was over.
**[10:46] ---**
Well, I thought it would help if everyone
ate a little more before heading out.
**[10:52] ---**
I see.
**[11:06] ---**
Saito-*san*! There's no need...
**[11:08] ---**
It's faster if we work together.
**[11:12] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[11:17] ---**
Um...
**[11:18] ---**
Has there been any news about Sakai-*san*?
**[11:22] ---**
We may need to prepare for the worst.
**[11:26] ---**
In this day and age, a person could
lose their life at any moment.
**[11:30] ---**
I'm sure Sakai was prepared for that
when he chose to serve the Shinsengumi.
**[11:36] ---**
I suppose so.
**[11:37] ---**
I do still feel proud every time
I put on this uniform.
**[11:48] ---**
There's no need to worry yourself over it.
**[11:53] ---**
Sending Furies to
assassinate Lord Iemochi...?
**[11:57] ---**
We're going to raid them now.
**[11:59] ---**
All right. I'll go, too.
**[12:00] ---**
You stay here, Kondou-*san*.
**[12:02] ---**
Take care of Itou-*san*.
**[12:04] ---**
Itou-*san*?
**[12:05] ---**
If he sees that all the usual faces
are gone this late at night,
**[12:08] ---**
he'll get suspicious.
**[12:10] ---**
I see.
**[12:12] ---**
And the Furies?
**[12:14] ---**
We'll finish off every last one of them.
**[12:17] ---**
Toshi...
**[12:18] ---**
I'm the one that forced them
to choose to live as Furies.
**[12:32] ---**
I will oversee their death.
**[12:36] ---**
I must do it.
**[12:43] ---**
Whoa!
**[12:45] ---**
You're so thoughtful! That's our Chizuru!
**[12:48] ---**
Thank you!
**[12:49] ---**
There's a lot, so feel free to eat two.
**[12:52] ---**
--Then I won't hold back!
--Thanks!
**[12:54] ---**
Saito-*san* also helped me make them.
**[12:58] ---**
So, were these squeezed by you,
Chizuru? Or by Hajime-*kun*?
**[13:02] ---**
Shob doggin cwab! Shuddub an' ead!
**[13:04] ---**
No, this is serious!
**[13:07] ---**
Which is it...
**[13:09] ---**
Hey! Shinpatsu-*san*!
Quit screwin' around!
**[13:12] ---**
I' you won' ead id, I wirr!
**[13:14] ---**
I was about to take a bite!
**[13:15] ---**
Be quiet!
**[13:18] ---**
The other troops will hear you.
**[13:21] ---**
Gen-*san*, watch over things here.
**[13:23] ---**
Will do.
**[13:37] ---**
Let's go.
**[13:50] ---**
The dogs have arrived.
**[14:00] ---**
There appear to be seven or eight men.
**[14:03] ---**
Okay. Saito, Harada, Heisuke,
you go around back.
**[14:07] ---**
Yamazaki, stand by.
Send word if anything happens.
**[14:09] ---**
Understood.
**[14:14] ---**
What now?
**[14:15] ---**
Seems we were too late.
**[14:17] ---**
The Shinsengumi?
**[14:19] ---**
Shinsengumi...
**[14:21] ---**
Not a chance.
**[14:23] ---**
The hell you going?
**[14:24] ---**
Are you kiddin'?
**[14:25] ---**
I'll let them take on the Shinsengumi
and find a way to escape.
**[14:29] ---**
Good idea there.
**[14:31] ---**
No use in us getting
caught up in the fight.
**[14:34] ---**
You're just the same as the Shinsengumi.
**[14:39] ---**
Using us like pawns!
**[14:56] ---**
What does this mean?
**[14:58] ---**
They've turned against each other?
**[15:02] ---**
We've finally found you.
**[15:04] ---**
Deserting the Corps is forbidden.
**[15:07] ---**
Don't tell me you've
all forgotten the rules.
**[15:12] ---**
Rules, huh.
**[15:14] ---**
How noble.
**[15:16] ---**
Hijikata.
**[15:18] ---**
Those rules you made...
**[15:21] ---**
...turned us into monsters!
**[15:25] ---**
Whether you're a person or a monster,
**[15:27] ---**
if you're a deserter, you'll be killed!
**[15:33] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:34] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:45] ---**
You must be suffering.
**[15:48] ---**
This will ease your pain.
**[16:13] ---**
Let's see what you've got, Shinsengumi.
**[16:25] ---**
These are nothing like
the Furies we've seen before!
**[16:29] ---**
It's not going to be that easy
to snuff them out.
**[16:35] ---**
This is rigorous training, though.
**[16:37] ---**
I... never wanted to become
a damned monster like this!
**[16:42] ---**
But Hijikata, you forced us!
**[16:45] ---**
You robbed us of any chance
we had to live as humans!
**[16:49] ---**
Will you become a solider or a demon?
**[16:51] ---**
That's the choice you make
when you join the Shinsengumi!
**[16:56] ---**
As the Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi,
**[16:59] ---**
I condemn you all to death, right here!
**[17:09] ---**
They move too quickly!
**[17:11] ---**
Watch closely.
**[17:13] ---**
As they get angrier,
their movements get simpler.
**[17:17] ---**
You noticed it, too?
**[17:18] ---**
And they're probably overestimating
their own abilities
**[17:21] ---**
because they're fighting separately!
**[17:23] ---**
Double up on them!
**[17:26] ---**
Let's go, Hajime-*kun*!
**[17:50] ---**
You said double up, right?
**[17:56] ---**
Vice Commander...
**[17:57] ---**
Is anyone hurt?
**[18:09] ---**
Sakai... *kun*? Is this where you were?
**[18:13] ---**
You were all right!
**[18:14] ---**
Sannan-*san*?
**[18:16] ---**
My instincts tell me
that thing is not human!
**[18:20] ---**
Sakai...?
**[18:38] ---**
It can't be... He's a Fury, too?
**[18:40] ---**
How?!
**[18:42] ---**
Most likely from the Water of Life
the Furies stole when they escaped.
**[18:45] ---**
No way. Sakai-*kun*!
**[18:47] ---**
It's me! Toudou!
**[18:49] ---**
Sakai! Come to your senses!
**[18:55] ---**
Stop!
**[19:20] ---**
Sannan-*san*, we didn't hear
anything about this!
**[19:37] ---**
Okita-*kun*! Saito-*kun*!
**[19:56] ---**
How in the...?
**[19:58] ---**
His body's reaction to the Water of Life
must be producing new side effects.
**[20:03] ---**
I've never seen this before!
**[20:10] ---**
Sakai!
**[20:14] ---**
De... mon!
**[20:16] ---**
Hijikata-*san*, run away!
**[20:19] ---**
All of you stay back!
**[20:27] ---**
Come at me, Sakai!
**[20:34] ---**
The Tosa demons have
disappeared from the capital.
**[20:39] ---**
They already ran off with
their tails between their legs?
**[20:42] ---**
It seems their plan to assassinate
the Shogun has fallen apart.
**[20:46] ---**
It may be time for us to withdraw.
**[20:50] ---**
You dogs.
**[20:52] ---**
You should keep fighting among yourselves
until you kill each other off.
**[21:11] ---**
Vice Commander!
**[21:43] ---**
Vice... Commander... Hijikata?
**[21:49] ---**
Yuki... mura-*kun*...
**[21:53] ---**
Is Yukimura-*kun*...
**[21:56] ---**
...safe... sir...?
**[22:02] ---**
You don't have to worry. She's safe.
**[22:07] ---**
Thank good... ness...
**[22:28] ---**
Wh-What happened?!
**[22:30] ---**
Don't make a commotion.
You'll wake up the troops.
**[22:34] ---**
Are you all okay?
**[22:37] ---**
They need first aid. Boil some water.
**[22:39] ---**
Understood!
**[22:41] ---**
Ow, ow! Ouch!
**[22:44] ---**
Would you please stop making
such embarrassing sounds?
**[22:47] ---**
I said I'm fine.
Just spit on it and it'll heal.
**[22:50] ---**
Please hold still.
**[22:53] ---**
Okita-*san*, please let me see your wound.
**[22:55] ---**
Unfortunately, I don't have
a single scratch.
**[22:58] ---**
Who are you kidding? You're a mess.
**[23:06] ---**
Hijikata-*san*, what about your injuries?
**[23:08] ---**
I'll do it later.
**[23:09] ---**
Toshi-*san*...
**[23:11] ---**
But... if we don't dress them properly...
**[23:13] ---**
Don't worry. It's just a scratch.
**[23:17] ---**
Yukimura,
**[23:19] ---**
when you're done treating everyone,
bring me some tea.
**[23:22] ---**
Make it lukewarm.
**[23:24] ---**
You'd like it... lukewarm?
**[23:26] ---**
Oh, I get it.
**[23:27] ---**
You've got cuts in your mouth
and can't drink anything hot, right?
**[23:30] ---**
You want even more bruises?
**[23:37] ---**
Vice Commander.
**[23:40] ---**
This.
**[23:41] ---**
What is it?
**[23:43] ---**
It was in the storehouse
where Sakai was being held.
**[23:49] ---**
Thank you for finding this.
**[23:59] ---**
Did you call for me?
**[24:01] ---**
Enter.
**[24:05] ---**
See that this gets sent to
Sakai's parents in the country.
**[24:10] ---**
A condolence gift.
**[24:11] ---**
Sakai-*san*'s...?
**[24:13] ---**
And send this with it.
**[24:16] ---**
It's a letter that Sakai
wrote to his parents.
**[24:20] ---**
In his service as a member of
the Shinsengumi, he gave his life.
**[24:30] ---**
Very well. I will take care of it.
**[24:38] ---**
One more thing--
**[24:39] ---**
Yes?
**[24:42] ---**
I have something to give you.
**[24:46] ---**
Why is Chizuru so late?
**[24:49] ---**
Hajime-*kun* isn't here yet either.
**[24:51] ---**
We missed out on our chance to make
a yukata for Chizuru after all.
**[24:56] ---**
Yeah, we had other things to do.
**[25:00] ---**
Thank you for waiting!
**[25:01] ---**
You're late! Chizu--?!
**[25:06] ---**
Ah... you... Chizuru?
**[25:09] ---**
Idiot! It's obviously Chizuru.
**[25:15] ---**
Does it look weird?
**[25:17] ---**
No, it looks great on you.
**[25:19] ---**
Chizuru, where'd you get that?
**[25:22] ---**
From Hijikata-*san*.
**[25:24] ---**
--Hijikata-*san*?!
--Hijikata-*san*?!
**[25:26] ---**
Huh? D-Did...
**[25:27] ---**
Did she just say Hijikata-*san*?
**[25:30] ---**
No way!
**[25:32] ---**
Since it's Tanabata,
**[25:34] ---**
he told me to put it on
and go enjoy the evening.
**[25:37] ---**
Huh.
**[25:38] ---**
So like, "the clothes make the woman"?
**[25:42] ---**
Hajime-*kun*, what do you think?
**[25:47] ---**
Lovely.
**[25:55] ---**
Hijikata-*san* gets it.
**[25:58] ---**
Sheesh. Right behind our backs.
We don't have a chance.
**[26:03] ---**
All right, w-wanna go, Chizuru?
**[26:05] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[26:15] ---**
So pretty!
**[26:17] ---**
Yeah. So pretty.
**[26:21] ---**
It sure is!
**[26:23] ---**
Yeah, well, I don't mean the festival...
**[26:26] ---**
Huh?
**[26:27] ---**
Right. None of the other women here
even hold a candle to this.
**[26:33] ---**
You are the most radiant woman
in the capital tonight.
**[26:36] ---**
No... Wh-What's wrong with you all?
**[26:39] ---**
How can you make a line like
that just roll off your tongue?
**[26:52] ---**
Well, Toshi, at least we got
one job squared away.
**[26:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[26:57] ---**
Now we can put everything
we've got into guarding the Shogun.
**[27:00] ---**
Things are going to get busy.
**[27:03] ---**
Wow, what a magnificent Milky Way.
**[27:06] ---**
We used to look at it often
at the Shieikan.
**[27:08] ---**
We sure did.
**[27:10] ---**
**[27:12] ---**
