[00:21] ---
    Hey, stray mutt!
[00:23] ---
    Respond if you can hear my voice.
[00:34] ---
    Tch!
[00:36] ---
    You can still nod your head
    even if you cannot speak.
[00:42] ---
    I am going to ask you a question.
[00:46] ---
    Do you want to live?
[00:49] ---
    If you want to live...
[00:53] ---
    ...take this rice ball.
[01:00] ---
    Oh, dear! Sorry about that.
[01:03] ---
    It slipped right out of my hand.
[01:11] ---
    You would choose survival
    over pride and self-respect?
[01:20] ---
    You truly are a starved stray.
[01:33] ---
    You will die before long
    if I leave you here.
[01:37] ---
    You have nowhere do go, now do you?
[01:40] ---
    Come with us. I am willing to
    throw you some scraps.
[01:44] ---
    Shut up...!
[01:46] ---
    Don't make a fool of me!
[01:53] ---
    I've found something most amusing.
[01:56] ---
    This should keep me entertained
    even after my arrival in Kyoto.
[03:34] ---
    You're a disgrace!
[03:35] ---
    Are you so desperate to live
    that you would degrade yourself?
[03:40] ---
    I cannot bear to face
    your belated father...
[03:42] ---
    Who cares about my dead dad?!
[03:45] ---
    Who cares if it's disgraceful?!
    You can't live if you don't eat!
[03:49] ---
    What's so great about samurai?!
[03:52] ---
    Samurai...
[03:54] ---
    To hell with samurai!
[03:57] ---
    Ah, you came to? What a relief!
[04:02] ---
    You shouldn't get up yet.
[04:04] ---
    I don't know what happened to you,
    but you're covered in bruises.
[04:09] ---
    If it ain't a samurai!
[04:12] ---
    Wh-what do you want?
[04:27] ---
    G-give it back.
[04:30] ---
    Shuddup!
[04:31] ---
    Dang, he's got nothin'.
[04:34] ---
    Y-you cowards!
[04:36] ---
    Kid, this is what you get for ridiculing
    national loyalist warriors!
[04:41] ---
    Let that be a lesson to you!
[04:46] ---
    Damn it! National loyalists my butt!
[04:52] ---
    W-wait...
[04:58] ---
    Where am I?
[05:00] ---
    The Roshigumi's lodgings.
[05:02] ---
    Not that you'd know where that is, huh?
[05:05] ---
    It's in Mibu Village, located at the
    southern end of the capital.
[05:08] ---
    The capital? This is Kyoto?
[05:10] ---
    Yep! Now then, what's your name?
[05:13] ---
    I'm Heisuke Toudou.
[05:16] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[05:19] ---
    I'm Ibuki... Ryunosuke Ibuki.
[05:22] ---
    That right? Well it's
    a pleasure, Ryunosuke!
[05:25] ---
    You're welcome to call me Heisuke.
[05:28] ---
    I'd say we're probably
    around the same age.
[05:30] ---
    Heisuke...
[05:32] ---
    I don't know if you're hungry or not,
[05:34] ---
    but you won't recover if you don't eat.
[05:37] ---
    I'll go fetch some grub for you.
[05:47] ---
    Protect the Emperor?
[05:49] ---
    What is the meaning of this, Kondou-san?
[05:51] ---
    I don't know.
[05:52] ---
    At any rate, we won't know
    until we speak with Kiyokawa-dono.
[05:58] ---
    DAWN OF THE DIVINE WARRIORS
[06:05] ---
    Pardon me.
[06:09] ---
    Hey! I see you've regained consciousness.
    That's great!
[06:13] ---
    Toudou-kun asked me
    to bring some food to you.
[06:16] ---
    I received some rice porridge
    from the master of this manor.
[06:19] ---
    Oh, you shouldn't strain yourself!
[06:24] ---
    You were terribly wounded.
[06:26] ---
    You need to take it easy.
[06:30] ---
    I'm sorry...
[06:39] ---
    Ah, my bad!
[06:51] ---
    There...
[07:02] ---
    You will die before long
    if I leave you here.
[07:06] ---
    You have nowhere do go, now do you?
[07:10] ---
    Come with us.
[07:12] ---
    I am willing to throw you some scraps.
[07:16] ---
    Come to think of it, the man back then...
[07:20] ---
    Huh? What're you dressed up for?
[07:24] ---
    Thanks for looking after me.
[07:25] ---
    H-h-hold your horses!
[07:27] ---
    Where do you think you're going?
[07:29] ---
    I appreciate all you have done for me,
[07:32] ---
    but I cannot impose upon you forever.
[07:34] ---
    I'm leaving.
[07:35] ---
    Leaving? I-I-I said to wait!
[07:41] ---
    Heisuke, who is that?
[07:46] ---
    Sano-san! Shinpatsu!
[07:55] ---
    Hey, hold up!
[07:57] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?! Let go of me!
[07:59] ---
    Who, pray tell, are you?
[08:01] ---
    He's that guy Serizawa-san picked up
    on the way to the capital.
[08:03] ---
    Hey!
    He's that guy Serizawa-san picked up
    on the way to the capital.
[08:04] ---
    He's that guy Serizawa-san picked up
    on the way to the capital.
[08:05] ---
    Now that he's finally doing better,
    he says he's going to leave.
[08:09] ---
    Hey!
[08:10] ---
    I see. So that explains
    why I recognized your face.
[08:14] ---
    How long are you going
    to hold onto my collar?!
[08:16] ---
    Let go already!
[08:18] ---
    It's great that you're feelin' better,
[08:21] ---
    but I don't approve of your leavin'
[08:24] ---
    
    without thanking your benefactors first.
[08:27] ---
    I never asked for anyone's help.
[08:30] ---
    Why you...!
[08:32] ---
    Ow! What was that for?!
[08:34] ---
    Regardless of whether or
    not you asked for help,
[08:37] ---
    
    who do you have to thank for bein' here?!
[08:40] ---
    You owe us for the hospitality
    we've shown you!
[08:45] ---
    What's your name?
[08:46] ---
    I already introduced myself to him.
[08:49] ---
    Ask him for my name.
[08:53] ---
    You've got guts!
[08:55] ---
    It looks like one blow
    to the noggin' wasn't enough.
[08:58] ---
    Eh? Yikes, don't hit me
    over every little thing!
[09:02] ---
    I'm Ibuki. Ryunosuke Ibuki.
[09:04] ---
    You shoulda been a good boy
    and said that to begin with.
[09:07] ---
    I wouldn't argue with Sano if I were you.
[09:10] ---
    He don't hold back none
    when it comes to dudes.
[09:12] ---
    If you want to know someone's name,
[09:14] ---
    
    isn't it only polite to introduce yourself first?
[09:17] ---
    Oh? Now you're trying to reason with me?
[09:20] ---
    But you've got a point.
[09:22] ---
    My bad. I'm Sanosuke Harada. And he's...
[09:27] ---
    I'm Shinpachi Nagakura.
[09:29] ---
    And who am I supposed to go thank?
[09:33] ---
    Hey, now! Were you planning to
    thank him looking like that?
[09:37] ---
    First you gotta wash your face
    and straighten yourself up.
[09:40] ---
    The well is over there.
    Want me to go with you?
[09:44] ---
    I'm not a kid! I can go by myself.
[09:54] ---
    Move it. You're in the way.
[10:00] ---
    What was that for?!
[10:03] ---
    What?
[10:04] ---
    It's your fault for spacing out
    while standing there.
[10:09] ---
    This well doesn't belong
    to you and you alone.
[10:12] ---
    I was washing my face.
[10:14] ---
    
    You could have waited for me to finish.
[10:16] ---
    I see no reason for me to be polite
    and wait on you.
[10:21] ---
    Excuse me?
[10:23] ---
    What? If it bugs you all that badly...
[10:30] ---
    ...why don't we settle
    the matter with these?
[10:31] ---
    Eh?
[10:34] ---
    Okita-kun!
[10:36] ---
    Why don't you let it drop?
[10:38] ---
    Hijikata-kun will yell up a storm
    if you get too rowdy.
[10:43] ---
    Rowdy? What a thing to say, Sannan-san.
[10:48] ---
    He's the one who started it.
[10:52] ---
    And you're the one who set him up.
[10:54] ---
    I do believe you are the one
    Serizawa-san rescued, are you not?
[10:59] ---
    Have you recovered from your injuries?
[11:01] ---
    Yeah... Anyway, where is that
    Serizawa guy right now?
[11:05] ---
    Serizawa-san is currently out.
[11:08] ---
    I believe he will come back tonight.
[11:11] ---
    He's out, huh?
[11:13] ---
    What do you need with Serizawa-san?
[11:16] ---
    I was told to thank him
    for saving me before I go.
[11:21] ---
    Wait a sec!
[11:23] ---
    You aren't going to thank Kondou-san?
[11:26] ---
    Kondou-san?
[11:28] ---
    He's the highest-ranking person
    in the Roshigumi.
[11:32] ---
    Kondou-san, do you have a moment?
[11:36] ---
    Sannan-kun? That's fine, come on in.
[11:40] ---
    Are you all better?
[11:47] ---
    I heard that I didn't starve to death
[11:49] ---
    
    because you spoke on my behalf.
[11:52] ---
    I figured I should thank
    you before I left...
[11:56] ---
    No, I didn't do anything
    to deserve your gratitude!
[11:59] ---
    But do you know where you'll go
    once you leave?
[12:03] ---
    Well...
[12:04] ---
    How about it? Why don't you
    stay here for a while?
[12:07] ---
    Kondou-san, I understand how you feel,
[12:10] ---
    
    but we just arrived in Kyoto ourselves.
[12:12] ---
    We are currently dependent on
    the good graces of Yagi-san,
[12:15] ---
    the owner of this manor.
[12:18] ---
    We cannot afford to impose
    another person on him.
[12:21] ---
    But-
[12:22] ---
    It's just as he said.
[12:24] ---
    I have no intention of
    inconveniencing you any further.
[12:27] ---
    Then why don't you at least
    have dinner with us before you go?
[12:32] ---
    Goodness.
[12:33] ---
    It would seem you have forgotten why
[12:36] ---
    
    the Shieikan suffered financially.
[12:38] ---
    Eh?! Yeah, but, uh...
[12:42] ---
    But that is part of what makes you
    who you are, Kondou-san.
[12:47] ---
    You bastard!
[12:48] ---
    Do you realize whom you are speaking to?!
[12:53] ---
    How dare you take that tone with me?!
[12:55] ---
    Who was that?
[12:57] ---
    That was Serizawa-san's voice.
[13:03] ---
    Care to repeat that, Hijikata?
[13:10] ---
    You bastard!
[13:12] ---
    What did you say?
[13:15] ---
    I'll say it as many times as it takes.
[13:17] ---
    We're new in Kyoto,
[13:20] ---
    so keep your playing around in the
[13:22] ---
    red-light district within reason.
[13:24] ---
    You aren't the only ones
    who have to stay here.
[13:28] ---
    Hijikata-kun, how dare you speak
    that way to Serizawa-sensei!
[13:32] ---
    I see...
[13:35] ---
    And here we were out and about
[13:37] ---
    laying the groundwork
    for future campaigns.
[13:42] ---
    You call that playing in
    the red-light district?
[13:45] ---
    Out laying the groundwork, eh?
[13:48] ---
    I'd love to hear what
    type of "groundwork"
[13:52] ---
    
    you did in Shimabara.
[13:56] ---
    I don't care if you're
    from the Mito Tenguto.
[13:59] ---
    If you're going to throw your status
    as samurai in our faces,
[14:03] ---
    don't do anything to give
    us reason to complain.
[14:06] ---
    Bastard!
[14:12] ---
    Why didn't you dodge?
[14:14] ---
    Did you assume that I was going to stop?
[14:18] ---
    I wasn't going to dodge regardless
[14:20] ---
    
    of whether you stopped or not.
[14:22] ---
    I didn't say anything wrong!
[14:33] ---
    It would hardly inconvenience
[14:35] ---
    us if we were to stop working together.
[14:40] ---
    If you don't like my methods,
[14:41] ---
    you're free to return to
    Edo whenever you like.
[14:44] ---
    Let's go, Niimi!
[14:45] ---
    P-please wait for me, Serizawa-sensei!
[14:46] ---
    Serizawa-sama!
    P-please wait for me, Serizawa-sensei!
[14:47] ---
    Serizawa-san!
    P-please wait for me, Serizawa-sensei!
[14:51] ---
    Are you all right, Hijikata-kun?
[14:54] ---
    Sannan-san?
[14:56] ---
    What? Everyone's here?
[14:58] ---
    We heard Serizawa-san's voice
[15:00] ---
    
    and thought that there was trouble again.
[15:02] ---
    Whether there is trouble or not,
[15:05] ---
    that man will clash with others
    simply by being alive.
[15:09] ---
    Although I'm sure that is true,
[15:11] ---
    you must improve at
    shrugging off his antics.
[15:14] ---
    He'll have to die and be reborn
[15:17] ---
    
    at least once for that to happen.
[15:23] ---
    Who are you?
[15:25] ---
    You aren't a guest of
    Yagi-san's, are you?
[15:29] ---
    I'm...
[15:31] ---
    It's the guy who collapsed
    on his way here.
[15:34] ---
    He said he wanted to thank Serizawa-san
[15:36] ---
    
    and has been waiting for his return.
[15:38] ---
    Makes sense.
[15:40] ---
    Hey, Ryunosuke.
[15:42] ---
    It looks like Serizawa-san's
    had a lot to drink.
[15:44] ---
    Wouldn't it be best if you waited
    until tomorrow to thank him?
[15:47] ---
    Yep, yep!
[15:49] ---
    Serizawa-san can't hold
    his alcohol worth squat.
[15:52] ---
    But...t
[15:53] ---
    Okay, for now let's go back
    inside and have dinner!
[15:57] ---
    Sounds good.
[15:59] ---
    Uh, no-
[16:00] ---
    C'mon! It's mealtime! Food!
[16:01] ---
    Eh?!
    C'mon! It's mealtime! Food!
[16:18] ---
    Sheesh, how could they say
[16:20] ---
    
    Serizawa-san can't hold down his alcohol?
[16:22] ---
    You're pretty bad yourselves.
[16:25] ---
    I should get this over
    with before they wake up.
[16:33] ---
    Oh, my! Aren't you...?
[16:36] ---
    I'm here to see Serizawa.
[16:39] ---
    Is he up yet?
[16:41] ---
    Yes, the master is in his chambers.
[16:44] ---
    I shall lead the way.
[16:49] ---
    After resembling a filthy cowl,
[16:51] ---
    
    your face looks halfway decent now!
[16:55] ---
    Thanks to you, I'm stuck
    living for a while longer!
[16:58] ---
    The idea of being indebted
    to you forever pisses me off...
[17:01] ---
    Wha-?!
[17:02] ---
    ...so I figured I'd thank you.
[17:04] ---
    Y-you bastard!
[17:05] ---
    How dare you speak
    that way to Serizawa-sensei?!
[17:07] ---
    Well, I'm off!
[17:10] ---
    What was that just now?
[17:13] ---
    Even a dog doesn't
    forget a debt of honor.
[17:17] ---
    You're worse than a DOG.
[17:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:22] ---
    Did I piss you off again, Stray?
[17:25] ---
    I'm not a stray! I'm Ryunosuke Ibuki!
[17:29] ---
    No matter what name you
    claim for yourself,
[17:32] ---
    you could not possibly be a human
[17:34] ---
    
    if you cannot properly show your gratitude.
[17:37] ---
    Then what do you want?
[17:38] ---
    I don't have any money.
[17:40] ---
    There are plenty of other ways
    for you to pay me back.
[17:44] ---
    What do you want me to do?
[17:46] ---
    Work as your servant here or something?
[17:50] ---
    It would seem you aren't
    completely ignorant of the world.
[17:55] ---
    This is ridiculous!
[17:57] ---
    I'm sick of being shackled down!
[18:00] ---
    You are unbelievable...
[18:02] ---
    You owe Serizawa-sensei
    for saving your life!
[18:05] ---
    I don't recall asking him to save me.
[18:13] ---
    Ow!
[18:14] ---
    What the hell?!
[18:17] ---
    Back then I believe I asked you:
[18:22] ---
    "Do you want to live?"
[18:25] ---
    How did you answer?
[18:29] ---
    Do you want to live?
[18:30] ---
    If you want to live,
[18:32] ---
    take this rice ball.
[18:35] ---
    Th-that was...
[18:38] ---
    Damn it!
[18:40] ---
    So you finally remember?
[18:44] ---
    But once I've paid you back,
[18:48] ---
    I am hightailing it out of here!
[18:55] ---
    He said he'd keep you here as his dog?
[18:57] ---
    What a horrible thing to say!
[19:00] ---
    But I could see him saying that.
[19:03] ---
    He's the most renowned member
    of the Roshigumi,
[19:07] ---
    but he can be hard to handle
    in more ways than one.
[19:10] ---
    Shinpachi, he treats you decent enough
[19:13] ---
    
    since you're both of the Shindou Munen style.
[19:16] ---
    That man thinks of us as
    nothing more than...
[19:19] ---
    mere insects.
[19:21] ---
    But are you okay with this?
[19:24] ---
    Sure. It's not like I had
    somewhere to go anyway.
[19:28] ---
    I just figured that things would work out
[19:30] ---
    
    once I made it to Kyoto.
[19:33] ---
    So you want me to use
[19:34] ---
    my influence if I am to stay in Kyoto?
[19:38] ---
    Right.
[19:39] ---
    We lack the connections
    needed to seek protection henceforth,
[19:44] ---
    but everyone accompanying us is strong.
[19:47] ---
    I am sure there are ways in
[19:49] ---
    which we could benefit from each other.
[19:56] ---
    I understand.
[19:58] ---
    Very well. It is not as
    though I lack connections
[20:01] ---
    
    with the lord of Aizu, who guards Kyoto.
[20:04] ---
    If all goes well, you
    may get to speak with
[20:06] ---
    
    an influential member of the Aizu clan.
[20:08] ---
    Is-is that true, Serizawa-dono?!
[20:11] ---
    There is no benefit in
    lying over such matters.
[20:15] ---
    Thank you very much!
[20:17] ---
    Please! Please take care of it!
[20:20] ---
    But are you sure you want to rely on
    one of my connections?
[20:24] ---
    I imagine this must not
    sit well with Hijikata.
[20:32] ---
    No, I don't mind.
[20:46] ---
    What's wrong, Toshi?
[20:47] ---
    Too excited to sleep?
[20:50] ---
    Kondou-san...
[20:51] ---
    Why don't you join me if you can't sleep?
[20:56] ---
    Steamed buns and tea, huh?
[20:59] ---
    Looks good.
[21:02] ---
    Are you really sure about this?
[21:04] ---
    Am I sure about what?
[21:07] ---
    I'm referring to Serizawa-san.
[21:09] ---
    Well, in all honesty,
[21:11] ---
    I'm vexed that we had
    to seek help from him.
[21:16] ---
    But even I realize that
    he's the only person
[21:19] ---
    we can rely on.
[21:23] ---
    I see...
[21:29] ---
    Well, right now all we
    need to think about is
[21:34] ---
    how to earn a name for
    ourselves in Kyoto.
[21:41] ---
    Indeed.
[21:43] ---
    I swear that someday I will lift you up
[21:47] ---
    
    and make you Japan's greatest samurai.
[21:50] ---
    That is why I came to the capital.
[22:12] ---
    Why the heck did you suddenly
    kick me, Serizawa-san?!
[22:15] ---
    Lowly mongrel!
[22:17] ---
    How dare you
    sleep in later than your master!
[22:20] ---
    But that's no reason to kick-
[22:23] ---
    I am heading out now.
[22:25] ---
    Have SAKE waiting for
    me by the time I'm back.
[22:27] ---
    W-wait a sec!
[22:30] ---
    How am I supposed to pay for it?
[22:32] ---
    Get the money from Hirama!
[22:35] ---
    Damn it!
[22:36] ---
    What a way to greet the day!
[22:43] ---
    Sheesh!
[22:44] ---
    Where the heck is a liquor store?
[22:47] ---
    Oh, I know!
[22:48] ---
    I bet Heisuke and
    the guys could tell me where one is.
[23:10] ---
    Hey, you!
[23:11] ---
    What are you doing over there?
[23:17] ---
    Is either Kondou-san or Hijikata-san in?
[23:27] ---
    If he wants to die, let him go die.
[23:29] ---
    It's not like I want to die!
[23:32] ---
    At the very least, you aren't
    desperately fighting to live!
[23:37] ---
