[00:05] ---
    What the hell are these guys?!
[00:16] ---
    Shiranui, what's going on?!
[00:18] ---
    What are furies doing out in broad daylight?!
[00:20] ---
    Like I know!
[00:22] ---
    I didn't bring these guys with me!
[00:25] ---
    I only know of one person who'd make freaks like these.
[00:51] ---
    Hakuoki
    Demon of the Fleeting Blossom
    Record of the Jade Blood
[00:54] ---
    Rather than live thousands of futures
[01:01] ---
    I want to fully live this moment right now
[01:07] ---
    Even if we're by the abyss' edge
[01:13] ---
    So long as I am with you as you race ahead
[01:16] ---
    I will be like the dancing wind
[01:20] ---
    Even if the irresistible blade of time
[01:22] ---
    Tears at you until you collapse
[01:23] ---
    Continue to dream and believe in the light
[01:25] ---
    As you look up from time to time
[01:26] ---
    Ah, I would take, ah, your place
[01:30] ---
    If doing so would protect you
[01:33] ---
    Turn into a strong gale, O my prayer
[01:40] ---
    One strong enough to change fate right now
[01:46] ---
    Turn into the wind of dawn, the wind that
[01:55] ---
    Forces open the door to darkness
[02:04] ---
    Why...
[02:05] ---
    are you here?!
[02:08] ---
    Why the hell did you bring these monsters here?!
[02:13] ---
    Kodo!
[02:15] ---
    It is hardly proper to refer to them as "monsters."
[02:18] ---
    Furies have become the species
    that will surpass humans.
[02:21] ---
    What?
[02:22] ---
    I have finally fixed their defects!
[02:25] ---
    They are a new breed that can work
    under the light of the sun.
[02:30] ---
    With my Fury Corps, reviving
    the Yukimura clan will not end as a dream.
[02:35] ---
    You created these soldiers?
[02:41] ---
    Kodo, damn you!
[02:45] ---
    The age of a new breed of devil is upon us.
[02:49] ---
    Episode 15
    The Distant
    Visage
[03:05] ---
    A tracker?
[03:08] ---
    Please wait!
[03:12] ---
    You're...
[03:17] ---
    I finally get to see you again, Chizuru.
[03:20] ---
    Yukimura-kun, do you know him?
[03:22] ---
    I do. We met back in the capital.
[03:25] ---
    But, Kaoru-san, why are you dressed like that?
[03:29] ---
    Why are you here?
[03:30] ---
    I see... so Okita never told you.
[03:36] ---
    This is my true form.
[03:38] ---
    Everything I have done, from hiding my gender
    to coming here, it was all for one purpose.
[03:45] ---
    Yes, I have come to save my younger sister.
[03:49] ---
    Your sister...?
[03:51] ---
    I'm talking about you, Chizuru.
[04:04] ---
    My face isn't proof enough for you?
[04:07] ---
    Then let me use this katana as evidence.
[04:11] ---
    My Daitsuren is the mate to your Shotsuren.
[04:20] ---
    You should be aware that this sword has been
    passed down the Yukimura clan for generations.
[04:26] ---
    But I... Father never told me.
[04:31] ---
    "Father," huh?
[04:33] ---
    Kodo is not our true father.
[04:44] ---
    Damn monsters!
[04:47] ---
    No matter how many I kill,
    it doesn't put a dent in their numbers!
[04:50] ---
    The age of a new kind of devil?
[04:53] ---
    Japan's screwed if we have monsters
    like this running out and about.
[04:59] ---
    Harada! Time for a temporary truce!
[05:01] ---
    We gotta deal with these fakes!
[05:08] ---
    No objections here.
[05:13] ---
    After the Yukimura clan of devils was obliterated by
    humans for refusing to aid an anti-Bakufu faction,
[05:20] ---
    you were taken in by Kodo,
    who was from a branch off of our clan.
[05:24] ---
    That is when I was taken away
    by the Nagumo clan of Tosa.
[05:28] ---
    We were torn away from each other.
[05:34] ---
    See, currently I am trying to revive
    the Yukimura clan with Uncle Kodo.
[05:40] ---
    If he uses the modified Water of Life, he can create
    a Fury Corps that has overcome their weaknesses.
[05:46] ---
    We can use them to exterminate humans
    and create a world of devils.
[05:53] ---
    By now, your buddies are probably all dead.
[05:58] ---
    What...?
[06:00] ---
    Kondou-san?!
[06:02] ---
    Yukimura-kun, run!
[06:04] ---
    No... I can't!
[06:05] ---
    Do it! Hurry!
[06:08] ---
    I won't hold back on any
    who stand between Chizuru and I,
[06:12] ---
    even if you are the commander of the Shinsengumi.
[06:22] ---
    Kondou-san!
[06:25] ---
    Now do you understand?
[06:28] ---
    I am the only one who can protect you.
[06:32] ---
    Come!
[06:33] ---
    Come join me.
[06:36] ---
    Chizuru...
[06:38] ---
    come now.
[06:44] ---
    Chizuru...?
[06:46] ---
    Stop it, Kaoru-san.
[06:51] ---
    I made a promise.
[06:53] ---
    I swore I would protect Kondou-san and survive.
[06:57] ---
    We may be siblings...
[06:59] ---
    but I will fight you!
[07:09] ---
    You would draw your blade against
    your brother who shares your blood?
[07:14] ---
    Please step aside, Kaoru-san!
[07:17] ---
    Do you realize how hard I worked to find you?
[07:20] ---
    Chizuru, I love you...
[07:23] ---
    Don't you realize...?
[07:25] ---
    And here you...
[07:28] ---
    you would rather protect those humans
    than your own devil clan?!
[07:54] ---
    I'll only say this once more.
[07:57] ---
    Chizuru...
[08:00] ---
    come with me!
[08:04] ---
    I can't. I... made a promise.
[08:10] ---
    I see...
[08:12] ---
    In that case, I will...
[08:15] ---
    With my own two hands, I will...!
[08:26] ---
    Okita-san!
[08:27] ---
    You're awfully persistent.
[08:31] ---
    Back at you, Okita.
[08:33] ---
    You're doing well for being under the sun.
    It must be hell.
[08:39] ---
    That's why I've got to be quick about killing you!
[08:56] ---
    Hey, Harada.
[08:57] ---
    Whatcha think of me drawing the fakes' attention,
    while you carve a path for your men to escape?
[09:02] ---
    But then you would...!
[09:05] ---
    Don't lump me together with you weak humans.
[09:08] ---
    I'm not so lame as to let myself
    get devoured by these failures.
[09:14] ---
    Shinpachi! Guys! We're retreating!
[09:17] ---
    Go!
[09:52] ---
    Didn't I warn you?
[09:54] ---
    The Water of Life can't heal your tuberculosis.
[10:00] ---
    Chizuru, behold.
[10:02] ---
    You have to toss aside the weak and kill them like this!
[10:06] ---
    Okita-san!
[10:08] ---
    Souji!
[10:09] ---
    Don't do it!
[10:30] ---
    Chikage Kazama...
[10:32] ---
    Losing your pride as a devil and dirtying
    the Yukimura name is unforgivable!
[10:44] ---
    Chizuru...! Chizuru!
[10:49] ---
    Chizuru!
[10:54] ---
    Chizuru! Chizuru!
[11:01] ---
    Chizuru, why...?
[11:17] ---
    Why...? Why was it always you...?
[11:24] ---
    Kaoru...
[11:33] ---
    I imagine you've heard,
    but Kodo has left the Satsuma Domain
[11:37] ---
    and strayed from the way of the devils.
[11:39] ---
    I must kill him.
[11:52] ---
    Please wait!
[11:56] ---
    Please give me some time!
[11:59] ---
    Father and I...
[12:02] ---
    We need to talk.
[12:07] ---
    Even if we are not related by blood, he is my father.
[12:11] ---
    He cannot be allowed to use
    his furies to wipe out humanity.
[12:15] ---
    But he may realize the error of his ways if I talk to him.
[12:19] ---
    Please!
[12:22] ---
    Very well. I shall give you some time.
[12:27] ---
    Thank you!
[12:29] ---
    Never forget: Devils always keep their promises.
[12:34] ---
    Act as a proud devil and keep your word.
[12:37] ---
    Okay!
[12:48] ---
    After that, we somehow managed to make it back to Edo.
[12:56] ---
    After our defeat at Koufu,
    the Shinsengumi took refuge at a hatamoto mansion.
[13:04] ---
    Drinking already? You old farts are unbelievable.
[13:08] ---
    Shut it! How could I NOT?
[13:11] ---
    Sannan-san, care to join us for a drink?
[13:14] ---
    Sure.
[13:15] ---
    Not gonna invite me?
[13:18] ---
    You're still too young to drink.
[13:20] ---
    What was that?!
[13:22] ---
    Sheesh...
[13:25] ---
    Kondou-san isn't here today either, huh?
[13:28] ---
    Once you're the commander,
    you have to make plans with the big wigs,
[13:32] ---
    gather new recruits, and take care of a shitload of stuff.
[13:37] ---
    It's not like recruiting guys is going to help.
[13:40] ---
    There's no point if he's going to throw their lives away.
[13:43] ---
    Right, Saito?
[13:46] ---
    Don't hold it against him.
[13:48] ---
    That was Kondou-san's first time leading
    a battle against the Imperial Army.
[13:53] ---
    It's not like everything would go smoothly the first time.
[13:57] ---
    Gathering hundreds of untrained men
    isn't going to change things.
[14:02] ---
    There's no way they could fight furies
    who can move about during the day.
[14:06] ---
    Furies who can move during the day...
[14:09] ---
    Damn it! Why did Kodo-san
    have to make those monsters?
[14:19] ---
    Chizuru...
[14:24] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:26] ---
    Wh-why are you apologizing?
[14:28] ---
    Don't sweat it! It's not your fault or nothin'! 'Kay?
[14:32] ---
    Ch-Chizuru!
[15:04] ---
    Hey!
[15:06] ---
    So that's why you've been going out by yourself lately?
[15:10] ---
    Right.
[15:11] ---
    But in the end, the only place that comes to mind
    is that house Father and I used to live in together.
[15:16] ---
    You've got it rough, too.
[15:19] ---
    When I sat and thought about it,
    I realized I don't know anything about Father.
[15:24] ---
    There is so much I want to tell him when I see him...
[15:28] ---
    I know!
[15:29] ---
    It's been ages, so why don't we have some dango?
[15:32] ---
    Huh?
[15:35] ---
    You've gotten down like this once before.
[15:38] ---
    It was in Kyoto. When Sen came to visit.
[15:45] ---
    That happened fairly recently,
    yet it feels like it was ages ago.
[15:51] ---
    Right...
[16:03] ---
    Okita-san!
[16:05] ---
    Hey! How're you feelin'?
[16:08] ---
    What's this?
[16:09] ---
    It's unusual to have Sano-san pay me a visit.
[16:13] ---
    We found some awesome looking dango,
    so we got some for you.
[16:18] ---
    Are pigs going to start flying tomorrow?
[16:20] ---
    What?! And here I was nice enough to come visit you!
[16:24] ---
    Be grateful and eat!
[16:26] ---
    I bet you just came to help yourself
    to some of those dango.
[16:31] ---
    Are you okay, Okita-san?
[16:39] ---
    You shouldn't worry so much; I'm fine.
[16:42] ---
    You know the saying, "You can never kill ill weeds"?
[16:47] ---
    Right...
[16:48] ---
    "Right"? You were supposed to disagree.
[16:52] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[16:56] ---
    Huh? What is it?
[16:59] ---
    It's nothin'! Forget it and make us some tea, Chizuru.
[17:03] ---
    O-okay...
[17:23] ---
    Is Kondou-san well?
[17:25] ---
    Hard to say. I haven't really seen him since then.
[17:32] ---
    Oh...
[17:42] ---
    Okay, Okita-san. We'll come by later.
[17:51] ---
    Give my regards to Shinpachi.
[17:57] ---
    Sure!
[18:15] ---
    Commander!
[18:16] ---
    Commander!
[18:17] ---
    Commander!
[18:19] ---
    I'm glad to see you were unharmed!
[18:20] ---
    I was so worried!
[18:26] ---
    Kondou-san!
[18:29] ---
    I need to have a word with you. Is that okay?
[18:33] ---
    What is the matter, Nagakura-kun?
    You're acting rather formal.
[18:36] ---
    We need to talk man-to-man. Let's take this elsewhere.
[18:49] ---
    You as well, Harada?
[18:50] ---
    Yeah. If Shinpachi intends to leave,
    I'll probably go with him.
[18:56] ---
    I see...
[19:08] ---
    Thanks for lookin' after us, Chizuru-chan.
[19:11] ---
    Are you really going?
[19:13] ---
    Yeah...
[19:17] ---
    Heisuke-kun! I'll go get Heisuke-kun!
[19:19] ---
    We already gave him our goodbyes.
    Heisuke-kun! I'll go get Heisuke-kun!
[19:19] ---
    We already gave him our goodbyes.
[19:22] ---
    By now, he's probably asleep after some major "sulking."
[19:30] ---
    Do you truly have to leave the corps?
[19:34] ---
    Well, we've got our reasons.
[19:37] ---
    Unlike Kondou-san or Hijikata-san,
    it was never my dream to become a samurai.
[19:43] ---
    Devoting my life to some lord
    not of my own choosing just doesn't sit well with me.
[19:51] ---
    No matter what, I never want to think,
    "Man, I wish I'd done that."
[19:58] ---
    Captain...
[20:00] ---
    Saito, do you plan on stayin' here until the end?
[20:05] ---
    I still have something here that I must do.
[20:09] ---
    Got it.
[20:11] ---
    Chizuru, I had wanted to protect you.
[20:15] ---
    I'm sorry it looks like I'm abandoning
    you before everything is resolved.
[20:18] ---
    Harada-san...
[20:29] ---
    Don't make that face!
    "Fortune comes to those who smile-"
[20:33] ---
    I can't smile! Not at a time like this...
[20:36] ---
    You should smile because it's a time like this.
[20:38] ---
    It's okay. I'm certain he will protect you.
[20:48] ---
    And don't you forget!
[20:50] ---
    We'll still be fighting the same battles
    somewhere out there under the same sky.
[20:56] ---
    Yep!
[20:57] ---
    We're still gonna be out fightin' them Satcho dogs!
[21:01] ---
    This ain't our final farewell.
[21:08] ---
    Well, we better get goin'.
[21:12] ---
    You two take care!
[21:15] ---
    You too, Chizuru.
[21:36] ---
    I stare into your face
[21:41] ---
    Illuminated by the dark red setting sun
[21:47] ---
    I softly wish upon the burning sky to stop time
[22:00] ---
    You earnestly try to move forward as you bear your sadness
[22:11] ---
    If possible, I want to follow you down this rugged path
[22:24] ---
    The clouds flow by in the far, far distance
[22:31] ---
    Even if this moment lasts but a moment
[22:36] ---
    I want to be with you
[22:39] ---
    The sun that dyes my heart will last forever
[22:51] ---
    So just believe in our bonds
[23:01] ---
    Toshi, there is no need for you to go.
[23:04] ---
    I will go to the enemy's main unit.
[23:06] ---
    What has gotten into you, Kondou-san?!
[23:08] ---
    I've already made up my mind.
[23:10] ---
    Don't give me this bullshit!
[23:11] ---
    Then this is an order!
[23:13] ---
    Next time
    Eternal Heartfelt
    Loyalty
[23:13] ---
    
[23:15] ---
