    Fire!
SIGN    January, 1868
[00:05] Default
    January, 1868.
[00:08] Default
    Conflict began between
    the former Bakufu army
[00:10] ---
    and the Satsuma-Choshu armies.
[00:13] Default
    It was what the world would call
    the Battle of Toba-Fushimi.
[00:17] Default
    Sorry, everyone.
[00:18] ---
    No thanks to your reckless leader,
[00:21] Default
    it looks like you guys are
    followin' me straight to hell.
[00:25] Default
    It's past time to talk like that now.
[00:27] ---
    Such modest words are
    unbefitting a commander!
[00:33] Default
    It was 15,000 former Bakufu
    army soldiers versus
[00:36] ---
    5,000 Satsuma-Choshu soldiers.
[00:39] Default
    In sheer numbers,
[00:40] ---
    the former Bakufu army
    had a major advantage.
[00:43] Default
    However, faced with the modern
[00:45] ---
    weaponry of the Satsuma-Choshu forces,
[00:47] Default
    the former Bakufu army
    was utterly defeated.
[00:58] Default
    Shinpachi!
[00:59] ---
    The 10th Unit and I are
    holding down the rear.
[01:02] ---
    Feel free to run wild!
[02:42] Default
    Because Kondou-san had
    been taken to Osaka
[02:44] Default
    Don't fall back! Press on!
[02:45] ---
    to treat the gunshot
    wound he'd received,
[02:48] Default
    Hijikata-san had assumed
    leadership of the Shinsengumi,
[02:52] Default
    and he had decided to
[02:53] ---
    attack the enemy's headquarters
    at Gokounomiya Shrine.
[02:59] Default
    Toshizo Hijikata of the
    Shinsengumi has arrived!
[03:15] Default
    The bleeding has stopped.
[03:17] Default
    Please try to stay conscious.
[03:21] Default
    Yukimura-kun.
[03:23] Default
    Are you all right?
[03:25] Default
    I'm worried whether everyone
    will make it back unharmed.
[03:33] Default
    Not to worry. They're warriors.
[03:36] Default
    In the face of overwhelming odds,
[03:38] Default
    Nagakura-kun and Shimada-kun
[03:39] ---
    volunteered for the suicide corps.
[03:42] Default
    Harada-kun put his own life on the
    line to provide them with support...
[03:45] Default
    And Saito has headed
[03:47] ---
    for Ryu'un Temple to stop their cannons.
[03:50] Default
    They are all true warriors, a
    rarity in this modern world.
[03:54] Default
    True warriors?
[03:57] Default
    Have faith. Believe in them.
[04:00] Default
    Okay.
[04:02] Default
    Vice Commander! Are you all right?
[04:07] Default
    Yamazaki. Tend to his wounds.
[04:10] Default
    Sir.
[04:11] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[04:13] Default
    You're bleeding!
[04:14] ---
    You need medical attention.
[04:16] Default
    It's just a scratch.
[04:19] Default
    Dammit, they're really hitting us.
[04:22] Default
    Saito-san! Harada-san!
[04:24] Default
    Vice Commander, I'm very sorry.
[04:27] Default
    Their gunfire was too intense.
[04:29] Default
    We couldn't fight our
    way into Ryu'un Temple.
[04:31] Default
    I see.
[04:32] Default
    Shinpachi!
[04:34] ---
    Has Shinpachi not returned yet?!
[04:36] Default
    No.
[04:39] Default
    The guns the Satsuma-Choshu army
[04:41] ---
    has have a frighteningly long range.
[04:44] Default
    Even from great distances,
[04:45] ---
    one of every two shots is on target.
[04:48] Default
    What's more, they're placed up high,
[04:50] ---
    and aim for groups of us at a time.
[04:52] Default
    Oh, no!
[04:54] ---
    So, Nagakura-san and Shimada-san are...
[05:01] Default
    Hey there.
[05:03] Default
    We're back.
[05:04] Default
    Nagakura-san! Shimada-san!
[05:06] Default
    Shinpachi!
[05:08] Default
    The heck? We ain't ghosts.
[05:10] ---
    We're not floatin' on air.
[05:12] Default
    Thank goodness!
[05:14] Default
    Well, that was a failure.
[05:16] ---
    The enemy shot a hailstorm
    of gunfire at us.
[05:19] Default
    There's no way we could've fought
    our way into their headquarters.
[05:23] Default
    Thanks to that...
[05:25] Default
    Most of my men... were led to death.
[05:34] Default
    It looks like the fire has spread.
[05:37] Default
    Toshi-san.
[05:41] Default
    This is no longer an era
    of swords and spears.
[05:51] Default
    We're retreating.
[05:54] Default
    But we haven't lost yet.
[05:57] ---
    They will most definitely pay for this.
[06:01] Default
    Once the sun goes down, we send out
[06:03] ---
    the Fury Corps and change locations.
[06:05] Default
    Also, dispatch someone to Yodo
    Castle to ask for support.
[06:08] Default
    I will go!
[06:10] Default
    You?
[06:12] Default
    Everyone else is tired.
[06:13] ---
    Please rest until it's time to move.
[06:16] ---
    I will go send word.
[06:18] Default
    Please let...
[06:19] ---
    Please let me do something, too!
[06:23] Default
    I'll go with her.
[06:25] Default
    Inoue-san!
[06:30] Default
    Very well. We're counting on you.
[06:35] Default
    Do you think they'll
    send any support troops?
[06:37] Default
    We'll have to make them do so.
[06:39] Default
    For Toshi-san's sake.
[06:41] Default
    I don't want to see his
    face like that again.
[06:53] Default
    Why are the castle gates closed?
[06:55] Default
    We've come with an official order!
[06:58] Default
    We wish to ask your help
    to fight insurgents
[07:01] ---
    would draw arms against the emperor!
[07:05] Default
    Over there!
[07:07] Default
    Look out!
[07:09] Default
    Inoue-san! This is--
[07:11] Default
    Let's go back. It's dangerous here.
[07:12] Default
    But our reserves...
[07:14] Default
    They are no longer our allies.
[07:16] Default
    But at this rate, what
    about Hijikata-san?
[07:19] Default
    What will happen to the Shinsengumi?
[07:22] Default
    Inoue-san!
[07:26] Default
    Inoue-san!
[07:28] Default
    Enough of this!
[07:29] ---
    Like you, I wish to call
    support for Toshi-san!
[07:35] Default
    But I also have a duty to protect you.
[07:42] Default
    If something were to happen to you,
[07:44] ---
    there's no way I could face Toshi-san.
[07:49] Default
    I'm sorry. I...
[07:51] Default
    What's this? We're
    talking about Toshi-san.
[07:54] Default
    He's sure to think of some
    plan to turn things around.
[08:00] Default
    The rendezvous point is
    just past this forest.
[08:03] Default
    Ah! There's someone there!
[08:05] Default
    It's Hijikata-san and the others.
[08:07] Default
    Yukimura-kun!
[08:11] Default
    Inoue-san.
[08:12] Default
    Inoue-san!
[08:14] Default
    You bastards! You're
    of the Bakufu army...
[08:17] Default
    Hey. That's the Shinsengumi's outfit.
[08:20] Default
    Yeah. If we take his head as a trophy,
[08:23] ---
    the Satsuma-Choshu will greet us kindly.
[08:26] Default
    Oh, no!
[08:28] Default
    Get out of here, Yukimura-kun.
[08:30] Default
    Inoue-san!
[08:32] Default
    Please tell Toshi-san.
[08:34] Default
    I'm sorry my strength wasn't enough.
[08:37] Default
    I want him to forgive me for
    not being there to the end.
[08:42] Default
    And to know I'm eternally grateful
[08:45] ---
    for him showing me that final dream.
[08:49] Default
    I can't... Inoue-san!
[08:53] Default
    No! Let's escape, together!
[08:56] Default
    Hurry up and go!
[08:58] Default
    Inoue-san!
[09:01] Default
    Die, you fool!
[09:11] Default
    Inoue-san!
[09:23] Default
    Hurry! Run, Yukimura-kun!
[09:32] Default
    To double-cross him just because
    you don't like the side he's on...
[09:36] Default
    Are you...
[09:37] ---
    Can you really call yourselves warriors?
[09:40] Default
    Are we really warriors?
[09:42] ---
    Of course we are.
[09:43] Default
    No.
[09:45] Default
    I have witnessed true warriors.
[09:51] Default
    You all... aren't worthy
    of being warriors!
[10:02] Default
    We're not worthy of bein' warriors?
[10:05] Default
    Now you've said it.
[10:14] Default
    Scum.
[10:15] Default
    Kazama-san!
[10:19] Default
    Don't.
[10:19] ---
    I've just come to watch what
    the Yodo Domain is up to.
[10:22] Default
    Yodo Domain?
[10:24] Default
    Judging by your reaction,
[10:26] ---
    it seems you've learned
    that they've betrayed you.
[10:41] Default
    Inoue-san... Inoue-san!
[10:46] Default
    All of Kyoto's domains were handed
[10:47] ---
    a secret letter from the imperial court.
[10:50] Default
    Secret letter?
[10:51] Default
    "The Satsuma-Choshu army
    flies brocade flags.
[10:54] ---
    They are your allies."
    That's the message.
[10:57] Default
    Brocade flags?
[10:59] Default
    The Bakufu are now the insurgents,
[11:01] ---
    and Satsuma-Choshu the loyalists.
[11:04] Default
    It can't be!
[11:05] Default
    Satsuma-Choshu will crush the
    Bakufu and attain everything.
[11:09] Default
    Their objective is money and power.
[11:12] Default
    As always, humans are foolish creatures.
[11:15] Default
    You're saying that they're
    fighting for money?
[11:18] Default
    War has always been a
    pretext for pillaging.
[11:22] Default
    Not everybody is like that!
[11:24] Default
    Like the Shinsengumi?
[11:27] ---
    They merely kill those
    who oppose them, yes?
[11:30] Default
    How are they different from me?
[11:32] Default
    We fight because we have
    something to protect.
[11:37] Default
    You think only of yourself.
[11:39] Default
    Don't think that we're the same.
[11:41] Default
    Hijikata-san.
[11:44] Default
    Inoue-san is...
[11:45] Default
    Gen-san!
[11:47] Default
    Was it you? You did this?
[11:51] Default
    Hijikata-san, that's--
[11:51] Default
    What if I did?
[11:53] Default
    Kazama-san!
[11:58] Default
    Please wait! Inoue-san--!
[12:00] Default
    My, my. Another senseless death, eh?
[12:04] Default
    Why the rush to die?
[12:06] Default
    A "senseless death," you bastard? You!
[12:12] Default
    A "senseless death" was
    that, you son of a bitch?!
[12:18] Default
    Hijikata-san! Please stop!
[12:25] Default
    I never thought I'd reveal
    this before a human...
[12:30] Default
    The true form of a devil!
[12:42] Default
    That's... Kazama-san's true form?
[12:47] Default
    Is THIS the full extent of your anger?
[12:52] Default
    You bastard!
[12:58] Default
    What?
[13:04] Default
    This is the end.
[13:06] Default
    After all, you're just a
    band of cowardly fools,
[13:10] ---
    powerless on your own.
[13:12] Default
    What could the likes of you "protect"?
[13:15] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[13:21] Default
    You still intend to fight,
    in your condition?
[13:27] Default
    That's...!
[13:29] Default
    The Water of Life?
[13:30] ---
    Just how foolish are you?
[13:33] Default
    "Foolish"? And what of it?
[13:37] Default
    From the start, we were
    a band of foolish men.
[13:40] Default
    We shared an idiotic dream,
[13:42] ---
    followed it in earnest all the way here.
[13:45] Default
    We're still just halfway up
    that steep slope of a road.
[13:49] Default
    There's no way I can stumble now,
[13:51] ---
    falling all the way back down!
[13:54] Default
    Hijikata-san! No!
[13:55] Default
    Even if you become a fury,
    you're still just a fake.
[13:59] Default
    Not a true opponent for a devil.
[14:02] Default
    We won't know that till we try!
[14:05] Default
    No!
[14:13] Default
    Hijikata-san...
[14:15] Default
    I can't stand it anymore.
[14:18] Default
    Those Bakufu cowards...
[14:19] ---
    You pain-in-the-ass devils...
[14:22] Default
    You say I'm a fake? So what if I am?
[14:26] Default
    This whole time,
[14:28] ---
    we've been treated like
    a band of fake samurai.
[14:32] Default
    But no matter what, our
    convictions will not bend.
[14:37] Default
    Whether fake or not, persistence
    will make it true.
[14:42] Default
    So if I, a fury, can
    defeat you, then I...
[14:46] Default
    WE can become real!
[14:54] Default
    What's wrong? You're falling back!
[15:00] Default
    How does it feel having
    been injured by a fake,
[15:04] ---
    Mr. Devil Boss?
[15:06] Default
    Bastard...
[15:08] ---
    A bastard like you, scarring my face?!
[15:26] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[15:36] Default
    What are you doing, Vice Commander?
[15:39] Default
    As our leader, you're
    our head, our limbs.
[15:44] Default
    Without our limbs, we can get
    by, but without our head...
[15:52] Default
    It's the end of everything.
[15:56] Default
    Yamazaki-san!
[15:57] Default
    Yamazaki-san! Yamazaki-san!
[16:02] Default
    Yamazaki...
[16:05] Default
    This is enough, yes?
[16:06] ---
    Satsuma-Choshu forces will be here soon.
[16:10] Default
    We'd do well to be gone before then.
[16:16] Default
    It would seem we narrowly escaped.
[16:18] ---
    Both of us.
[16:20] Default
    I will be sure to finish this
    one day, Toshizo Hijikata.
[16:27] Default
    Hijikata-san! Yamazaki! Where are you?
[16:32] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[16:33] Default
    Just what happened here?
[16:36] Default
    Look after Yamazaki.
[16:43] Default
    This is bad. Someone, get some cloth!
[16:46] Default
    Vice Commander. Just what happened here?
[16:50] Default
    I never thought I would live on,
[16:53] ---
    using a troop member as a sacrifice.
[17:07] Default
    Inoue-san...
[17:09] Default
    Those three seem to be
    Bakufu army samurai...
[17:13] Default
    They killed Gen-san. Just leave them.
[17:17] Default
    How do you know that?
[17:19] Default
    Though you faced Kazama, you
    didn't draw your short sword.
[17:25] Default
    Knowing you, I'm sure you'd
    strike down Gen-san's killer.
[17:33] Default
    I knew that Kazama didn't
    kill Gen-san, but...
[17:36] Default
    At that instant, it
    built up inside of me.
[17:40] Default
    I couldn't help it.
[17:42] ---
    That bastard challenged me as if
[17:44] ---
    he'd seen through everything.
[17:48] Default
    Inoue-san had something
    he wanted me to tell you.
[17:52] Default
    He said he wanted you
    to forgive him for not
[17:54] ---
    being there to the end.
[17:56] Default
    And that for showing
    him that final dream...
[18:02] Default
    He's eternally grateful!
[18:17] Default
    Gen-san, we're going to Osaka Castle.
[18:22] Default
    We can't lose there.
[18:28] Default
    What does this mean,
    the shogun's not here?!
[18:31] Default
    It was a little while
    before you arrived.
[18:35] Default
    The shogun headed for Edo,
[18:38] ---
    accompanied by the ruler of Aizu.
[18:39] Default
    Edo?!
[18:40] Default
    You're saying the supreme
    commander turned
[18:43] ---
    tail and ran in the middle of battle?!
[18:45] Default
    Do not blame the shogun.
[18:47] ---
    I'm sure that he has his reasons.
[18:51] Default
    I couldn't care less.
[18:53] ---
    We stay here and we fight.
[18:55] Default
    However, next to no gunpowder or
[18:58] ---
    provisions remain in the castle.
[19:01] Default
    What was that?!
[19:02] Default
    There's something else.
[19:05] Default
    The Fury Corps launched
    a nighttime attack,
[19:07] ---
    and most of them were killed.
[19:09] Default
    The Fury Corps?
[19:10] Default
    It's those silver bullets from before.
[19:13] Default
    The ones that got Souji last time, huh?
[19:16] Default
    It looks like someone on their
    side knows all about us.
[19:20] Default
    Even we furies cannot
[19:22] ---
    recover from wounds
    made by silver bullets.
[19:27] Default
    The shogun ran off, we've
    got no weapons or food...
[19:31] Default
    And our ace in the hole,
[19:32] ---
    the Fury Corps, is
    almost wiped out, huh?
[19:34] Default
    Between a rock and a
    hard place, aren't we?
[19:36] Default
    Hijikata-kun. Let us, too,
    make for Edo for now.
[19:43] Default
    Sons of bitches!
[19:51] Default
    Yamazaki-san. Hang in there.
[19:54] Default
    The notebook...
[19:56] Default
    The notebook. Do you have it?
[20:01] Default
    Yes, I have it here.
[20:03] Default
    I see.
[20:05] ---
    Yukimura-kun...
[20:07] Default
    Yes?
[20:09] Default
    This is something that...
    only you can do.
[20:17] Default
    Take care of... everyone.
[20:20] Default
    What are you saying?
[20:23] Default
    If the fighting continues,
[20:24] ---
    there will be more and more wounded.
[20:27] Default
    You're in charge of medical duties,
[20:29] ---
    so you have to hurry and get better.
[20:32] Default
    I can't just stay in bed taking
    things easy, is that it?
[20:39] Default
    That's right!
[20:40] ---
    When we get to Edo, things
    will be quite busy!
[20:43] Default
    Please recover from your
    wounds while you can.
[20:46] Default
    Okay, take your medicine and...
[21:45] Default
    So many of our comrades
[21:46] ---
    fought and died for
    the Bakufu, and yet...
[21:49] Default
    This is a dog's death!
[22:22] Default
    It's not a dog's death at all, is it?
[22:29] Default
    No one has died for nothing, have they?!
[22:34] Default
    Of course not.
[22:37] Default
    From the start, our goal
[22:39] ---
    was never to fight for
    the Tokugawa lords.
[22:42] Default
    No matter how dispirited
    their higher-ups,
[22:45] ---
    that has nothing to do with us.
[22:48] Default
    We have a troop-in-training in Edo.
[22:50] Default
    Bakufu warships also remain intact.
[22:54] Default
    When we return to Edo,
    we begin this fight anew.

[23:00] Default
    Death is certain.
[23:01] Default
    Killing people is all I can do.
[23:04] Default
    This is no longer an era
