[00:06] ---
Wow!
[00:09] ---
Hey!
[00:10] ---
Quit slackin’ and keep to yer posts!
[00:12] ---
It wouldn’t hurt if
we watched a little!
[00:14] ---
Please, Shinpatsu!
[00:21] ---
My, that was a great bout!
[00:23] ---
It was the match of a lifetime!
[00:25] ---
Man, I missed the best part!
[00:30] ---
This has truly been a
success, has it not?
[00:32] ---
This should substantially add
to the Roshigumi’s funds.
[00:36] ---
Yeah, but seeing everyone happy
like this is what matters most.
[02:20] ---
So, that a wrap?
[02:21] ---
We’re heading back!
[02:25] ---
Commander!
[02:28] ---
I wish to report something immediately.
[02:34] ---
Hey, guys! We’re going!
[02:37] ---
What’s the problem?
[02:42] ---
Serizawa-san has done it yet again.
[02:46] ---
The Brightly Burning Beacon
[03:02] ---
What in the...?!
[03:05] ---
Took you long enough.
[03:07] ---
Were you having fun with that sumo
demonstration or whatever?
[03:10] ---
Serizawa-san, was this your doing?
[03:14] ---
The Yamato Store wrongfully
[03:15] ---
gained its fortune by
trading with foreigners.
[03:19] ---
This is a corrupt merchant.
[03:21] ---
There is also suspicion that he was
giving money to some ronin.
[03:25] ---
Suspicion?
[03:27] ---
Furthermore, he refused
to financially help us.
[03:31] ---
It is only natural that he be punished.
[03:34] ---
In short, you’re lashing out because
he wouldn’t lend you money?
[03:38] ---
Hey, put that fire out ASAP!
[03:40] ---
S-Sir!
[03:43] ---
Wait!
[03:46] ---
What do you think you’re doing?
[03:48] ---
There was no need to set the place
[03:49] ---
ablaze if you lacked hard evidence!
[03:52] ---
Hijikata, are you implying that I,
[03:55] ---
our highest-ranked officer as chief,
[03:57] ---
would fabricate a story?
[04:12] ---
Search the inside of that warehouse!
[04:15] ---
We may find some evidence.
[04:17] ---
Very well.
[04:23] ---
They’re no different
from those rogue samurai.
[04:25] ---
They really are a nuisance!
[04:28] ---
Now they even burn down stores?
[04:31] ---
Damn Wolves of Mibu!
[04:32] ---
Let it go, Ibuki.
[04:34] ---
Why?! Aren’t you pissed?
[04:37] ---
Right now we should focus
on the problem before us.
[04:57] ---
No matter how long you stay,
[04:59] ---
you aren’t getting any money.
[05:01] ---
Why don’t you go back to Hishiya?
[05:03] ---
I have nowhere to go back to.
[05:06] ---
My husband kicked me out
[05:07] ---
with nothing but what I had on me.
[05:11] ---
Life for a mistress is
wretched, isn’t it?
[05:33] ---
You intend to kill me?
[05:36] ---
Wh-whatever could you mean?
[05:40] ---
If you spend a life next to death,
[05:43] ---
you can easily pick up on
someone’s killing intent.
[05:57] ---
If you have nowhere
else to go, stay here.
[06:04] ---
You could kill me at any
time if you stay by my side.
[06:13] ---
You are a difficult man to understand.
[06:21] ---
We are here to report what we
[06:22] ---
learned about yesterday’s incident.
[06:25] ---
Due to profiting from
trade with foreigners,
[06:29] ---
the Tenchugumi had their
eyes set on that shop.
SIGN Note: The Tenchugumi were a group of Imperial Nationalists.
[06:32] ---
So the shop owner paid
[06:34] ---
national imperialistic
ronin to serve as hired guards.
[06:38] ---
Meaning there was some truth in
what Serizawa-san said, eh?
[06:42] ---
Honestly, both sides have their points.
[06:45] ---
But all that the people
of Kyoto will remember
[06:48] ---
is the fact that the Mibu
Roshigumi burnt that building.
[06:52] ---
As things stand, isn’t it simply a
[06:54] ---
repeat of a past offense, Commander?
[06:57] ---
To hear that coming from you,
[06:59] ---
this must not sit well with you at all.
[07:02] ---
You have my apologies.
[07:04] ---
I spoke out of line.
[07:07] ---
Hajime-kun is right.
[07:09] ---
That man really is a nuisance.
[07:14] ---
At any rate,
[07:16] ---
we’ll have to rake up the merits,
no matter how small.
[07:26] ---
Master, shouldn’t you
slow down a little?
[07:29] ---
Keep it coming!
[07:31] ---
S-sir...
[07:39] ---
Even drinking isn’t helping...
[07:44] ---
I went and asked for more saké.
[07:51] ---
Serizawa-san?!
[07:53] ---
Master!
[07:55] ---
Are you okay?!
[07:58] ---
Serizawa-san!
[08:00] ---
Who...
[08:03] ---
...are you?
[08:07] ---
Where am I?
[08:09] ---
What am I doing here?
[08:12] ---
M-master, are you all right?
[08:20] ---
Calm down!
[08:21] ---
You’ve had too much
to drink, haven’t you?
[08:23] ---
I’m Ibuki!
[08:24] ---
Don’t you recognize me, Serizawa-san?
[08:38] ---
I could hardly remember the face
of each and every cur I see.
[08:42] ---
Sheesh! Dumb drunk!
[08:45] ---
Serizawa-sama, is something the matter?
[08:48] ---
Yer bein’ too loud!
[08:50] ---
What’s all the ruckus?
[08:53] ---
Hey! Ain’t you Serizawa
from the Wolves of Mibu?!
[08:56] ---
What?!
[08:58] ---
And what if I am?
[09:01] ---
Do you think you could kill me?
[09:04] ---
If so, I’ll take you on.
[09:12] ---
I wouldn’t.
[09:16] ---
You are hardly a match for him.
[09:24] ---
Come along! Go right this way.
[09:26] ---
I shall prepare another room for you.
[09:35] ---
You’re suffering from
a disease, are you not?
[09:39] ---
Most of your body should
have been rendered useless.
[09:43] ---
It’s a miracle you can even stand.
[09:46] ---
I’m impressed you could
tell upon first meeting me.
[09:49] ---
I have seen someone inflicted
with the same disease.
[09:52] ---
He became unable to remember
who he was or recognize others.
[09:55] ---
He endured suffering, then died.
[09:58] ---
Before too long, you
shall face the same fate.
[10:04] ---
What of it?
[10:06] ---
I am well aware that I will
writhe in agony as I die.
[10:11] ---
In fact, that’s what I want.
[10:17] ---
Lowly human, you are rather intriguing.
[10:29] ---
This is medicine to
suppress their bloodlust.
[10:34] ---
I will continue to modify the
elixir, but use this for now.
[10:39] ---
Oh, I appreciate it!
[10:41] ---
Now that I have this,
[10:42] ---
those monsters
should be easier to manage.
[10:45] ---
Assuming all goes as planned...
[10:47] ---
But you must actually
administer the medicine
[10:50] ---
and discern its effectiveness.
[10:53] ---
Yes, I am well aware.
SIGN Headquarters of the Kyoto Military Commissioner Konkaikoumyouji Main Temple
[11:04] ---
Raise your heads.
[11:06] ---
The lord holds your work with the
[11:09] ---
Mibu Roshigumi in high regard.
[11:11] ---
It is an honor to hear that.
[11:14] ---
But, nonetheless, some of Serizawa’s
[11:18] ---
recent antics cannot be overlooked.
[11:20] ---
I feel fully responsible
for such failings.
[11:23] ---
You have my humblest apologies.
[11:25] ---
Devise a plan to deal with him...
[11:27] ---
...before he sullies the Aizu name.
[11:30] ---
Sir!
[11:47] ---
What was that?!
[11:58] ---
You’re all here?
[11:59] ---
Of course we are!
[12:01] ---
We heard that
outrageously loud noise.
[12:04] ---
The roar of artillery seems to have
come from the Imperial Palace.
[12:08] ---
Say, shouldn’t we be
headin’ over there?
[12:13] ---
No, Aizu has not yet issued
orders for us to mobilize.
[12:17] ---
We should avoid acting on our own.
[12:20] ---
Yamazaki and Shimada have
already left to investigate.
[12:24] ---
We’re on standby until
we receive their reports.
[12:32] ---
What?!
[12:34] ---
Aizu and Satsuma are
guarding the Sakaimachi Gate?
[12:37] ---
What?!
[12:41] ---
I believe Choshu originally
guarded that post.
[12:45] ---
Right.
[12:46] ---
The Choshu Domain is looking
for a chance
[12:49] ---
to enter the palace,
[12:51] ---
but Aizu and Satsuma
are staring them down,
[12:53] ---
intent not to let them step foot inside.
[12:55] ---
The situation is volatile.
[12:57] ---
Battle could break out at any moment.
[13:00] ---
Battle, huh?
[13:04] ---
But why are the feuding Aizu and
Satsuma Domains teaming up?
[13:11] ---
It is beyond me.
[13:15] ---
It merely means that the world is not as
[13:18] ---
simple as you simple-minded louts.
[13:22] ---
What was that?!
[13:24] ---
Both Satsuma and Aizu have
[13:26] ---
shunned Choshu because of
how they enter and leave
[13:29] ---
the Imperial Court as
if it were their own.
[13:31] ---
Clashing ideals is a minor problem
[13:34] ---
before the chance to crush Choshu.
[13:37] ---
Thanks for the lecture.
[13:40] ---
I don’t care about what’s
in the minds of opportunists
[13:43] ---
who change their attitudes
based on the situation.
[13:46] ---
So? What should we do?
[13:51] ---
We cannot move the squad without
[13:52] ---
orders from the Aizu Domain.
[13:54] ---
So we have to wait?
[14:04] ---
We’re leaving!
[14:05] ---
We’ll merely lose the chance
[14:07] ---
to earn distinction if we sit around!
[14:20] ---
I bring orders!
[14:23] ---
The Roshigumi are to hurry
to the Imperial Palace!
[14:26] ---
Guard the gates!
[14:32] ---
Our lord has given the order!
[14:34] ---
The Mibu Roshigumi are to mobilize!
[14:37] ---
We shall be the ones
to protect the emperor!
[14:40] ---
Yeah!
[14:46] ---
Truth
[14:49] ---
Truth
[14:56] ---
Who goes there?
[14:58] ---
This is a gate to the
revered Imperial Palace.
[15:01] ---
Rogue warriors, leave
with all due haste!
[15:05] ---
We are the Mibu Roshigumi,
who serve under
[15:08] ---
Lt. General Matsudaira.
[15:10] ---
We came here under official orders.
[15:13] ---
The Mibu Roshigumi?
[15:16] ---
I’ve never heard that name before.
[15:19] ---
Leave at once!
[15:21] ---
What?!
[15:22] ---
What gives?
[15:25] ---
We still lack a name.
[15:27] ---
I imagine there are some in the
[15:28] ---
domain who do not know of us.
[15:30] ---
I am sorry to inconvenience you,
[15:33] ---
but could you go check with the officials?
[15:35] ---
Bug off!
[15:37] ---
We never received any orders about you!
[15:40] ---
Leave immediately!
[15:46] ---
He said to go confirm your
orders with the officials right now!
[15:50] ---
Wh-why you...!
[15:52] ---
Since you have directed
that spear at me,
[15:55] ---
you must be prepared to get cut down
[15:57] ---
and killed within an instant, yes?
[16:03] ---
I am the loyal and patriotic samurai,
[16:05] ---
Kamo Serizawa!
[16:07] ---
I command the Mibu Roshigumi
that serves the Aizu Domain
[16:10] ---
and you WILL let us enter the palace!
[16:22] ---
Such a fuss over the
Choshu Domain alone?
[16:26] ---
The Shogunate’s authority
has certainly fallen.
[16:30] ---
Does this mean the times are changing?
[16:39] ---
Inoue-san, how’s everyone?
[16:42] ---
They carried out their
duty safe and sound.
[16:45] ---
That right?
[16:48] ---
Thank goodness!
[16:50] ---
Could you help me prepare for supper?
[16:52] ---
Sure!
[16:58] ---
Everyone, you did
wonderfully the other day.
[17:02] ---
The Lord of Aizu was most
impressed by our work.
[17:05] ---
He now says that he would like
[17:07] ---
to officially entrust
patrolling Kyoto to us.
[17:10] ---
Wow, that’s awesome!
[17:13] ---
This should make conducting
our patrols a lot easier!
[17:16] ---
And he bestowed a great honor upon us!
[17:19] ---
The Lord of Aizu has bequeathed
a new name to our squad.
[17:25] ---
Shin-
[17:26] ---
-sen-
[17:27] ---
-gumi
[17:29] ---
We’re the Shinsengumi!
[17:33] ---
The Shinsengumi...
[17:35] ---
This name used to be the name of
[17:37] ---
an actual organization
in the Aizu Domain.
[17:40] ---
Those who excelled in military
arts gathered under it.
[17:44] ---
That’s kinda inspiring, isn’t it?
[17:46] ---
Yeah!
[17:51] ---
So, in other words,
[17:53] ---
the Lord of Aizu
believes that the Roshigumi
[17:55] ---
are worthy as warriors
to inherit that name.
[18:00] ---
To meet his expectations,
[18:02] ---
we must further
dedicate ourselves to our mission!
[18:05] ---
Yeah!
[18:07] ---
It’s not often you get
a day as good as today!
[18:10] ---
Hijikata-san, how ’bout it?
It’s been ages since we partied!
[18:16] ---
Yeah. We’ll all celebrate tonight.
[18:19] ---
That’s what I wanted to hear!
[18:23] ---
In Service of Matsudaira, Defender of Higo:
Shinsengumi
[18:27] ---
Those newly selected, huh?
[18:32] ---
Saito? What’re you doing there?
[18:36] ---
Ibuki?
[18:39] ---
Didn’t he say that those
skilled in military arts
[18:42] ---
gathered under this distinguished name?
[18:44] ---
Indeed. I never so much as imagined that
[18:48] ---
I would someday serve as a warrior
[18:51] ---
under a name such as this.
[18:54] ---
Really? I’d say you’re good enough,
[18:56] ---
considering your swordsmanship.
[18:59] ---
Once already, I have abandoned
the way of the sword.
[19:03] ---
Huh? What do you mean?
[19:06] ---
I did so, anguished that I could not
follow the way of the warrior.
[19:12] ---
But even so, the Roshigumi
welcomed me back once more.
[19:18] ---
I don my sword yet again...
[19:21] ---
As such, my resolution is strong.
[19:26] ---
This time, I WILL persevere
and live as a warrior!
[19:32] ---
Hey, you two!
[19:34] ---
The party’s gonna start!
[19:36] ---
Hurry and join us.
[19:38] ---
Let’s go.
[19:39] ---
Yeah.
[19:49] ---
So this is where you went, Kondou-san!
[19:51] ---
Yeah, I needed to get some air.
[19:55] ---
It ain’t easy hanging out
with a bunch of heavy drinkers.
[20:03] ---
We’ve finally come this far!
[20:06] ---
I feel as if all of
our work has paid off.
[20:08] ---
Yeah, but it’s too soon to let up.
[20:12] ---
The goals we are striving
for are still a ways off.
[20:17] ---
Indeed, they are...
[20:19] ---
If everyone’s hearts join as one under
[20:22] ---
the name of the Shinsengumi,
[20:24] ---
the day we realize our ideals
will definitely come!
[20:28] ---
That is what I believe.
[20:32] ---
Yeah.
[20:35] ---
Same here.
[20:45] ---
Their party seems to have
grown rather lively.
[20:50] ---
The Aizu will take them in now.
[20:55] ---
From here out, they will be forced
[20:57] ---
to stomp on several of
their sacred images.
[21:00] ---
Sacred images?
[21:01] ---
Their sacred images of a warrior.
[21:04] ---
They must not balk at
dirtying their own hands
[21:07] ---
and cross over trials they
do not wish to endure.
[21:14] ---
It’s a matter of whether or
not they can become... devils.
[21:33] ---
It hurts!
[21:35] ---
Hurry and set me free!
[21:38] ---
Be quiet!
[21:42] ---
Don’t you want to become
[21:43] ---
full-fledged furies as soon as possible?
[23:25] ---
It is necessary for us to investigate
whether the secret about
[23:28] ---
the Water of Life has been leaked.
[23:30] ---
This is the power of a fury!
[23:32] ---
The new era will be handed over to
[23:34] ---
whosoever possesses this medicine!
[23:36] ---
Is that all you have to say?
[23:37] ---
A Moonlit Night Filled
with Flowers
[23:41] ---
