September
1868
Outside
Sendai
Castle
[01:49] ---
September 1868. We had arrived in Sendai.
[01:54] ---
Sannan-san was supposed to have led
the Fury Corps to Sendai in advance,
[02:00] ---
but we never received any reports from them
and lost contact with the Corps.
[02:06] ---
Hijikata-san was struggling with
this predicament when Takeaki Enomoto,
[02:09] ---
the second in command of the former Bakufu navy, came
to pay him a visit shortly after our arrival in Sendai.
[02:17] ---
It's been a long time, Hijikata-kun.
[02:19] ---
I'm glad to see you're still
the same, Enomoto-san.
[02:22] ---
Stealing eight battleships
from the Imperial Army...
[02:26] ---
Your fearless feat astonishes me.
[02:29] ---
Well, Hijikata-kun, you have done
a commendable job yourself.
[02:33] ---
I am sorry I lacked the
power to save Kondou-san.
[02:37] ---
We lost a great man...
[02:41] ---
Now tell me, how are things in Sendai?
[02:44] ---
Actually, I haven't been able
to speak with the Sendai daimyo.
[02:50] ---
I've dropped by the castle several times, but they never
give a "yay" or "nay" when I request an audience.
[02:57] ---
Pardon me!
[03:04] ---
And I've heard an outlandish rumor.
[03:07] ---
Supposedly there is a strange unit
residing within the Sendai Domain.
[03:11] ---
A strange unit?
[03:13] ---
Murder has been rampant in the castle town.
[03:16] ---
Rumor has it the murderers enter
and leave the castle freely.
[03:20] ---
The castle is eerily quiet.
[03:23] ---
What could have happened in there?
[03:25] ---
Enomoto-san, could you let me
handle these murder cases?
[03:31] ---
Please continue with your
efforts to see the daimyo.
[03:34] ---
Sure.
[03:50] ---
Um, about those murders... do you think...?
[03:54] ---
I can't say anything while we're still
in the speculation stage.
[03:57] ---
Right.
[03:58] ---
But if Sannan-san is the ringleader
behind those murders,
[04:04] ---
I will probably have to kill him.

Episode 20
Scattering Cherry
Blossoms
[04:21] ---
Chizuru!
[04:22] ---
Heisuke-kun?!
[04:23] ---
Where's Hijikata-san?
[04:24] ---
He's out right now.
[04:26] ---
More importantly, what's kept you?
[04:28] ---
I was worried sick when we
couldn't get a hold of you.
[04:31] ---
Sorry. I couldn't really
pull away from Sannan-san.
[04:36] ---
See, Sannan-san may have gone over
to the Imperial Army.
[04:40] ---
What?!
[04:41] ---
He's been holding secret meetings
with Kodo-san in Sendai Castle!
[04:45] ---
F-Father is in the castle?
[04:49] ---
At any rate, I thought I should see what
Hijikata-san thinks and slipped out, but...
[05:01] ---
These are enemy fury soldiers.
[05:03] ---
Get outta here, Chizuru!
[05:04] ---
No, that will not be necessary.
[05:09] ---
It is good to see you again, Chizuru.
[05:12] ---
Father!
[05:13] ---
Kodo-san!
[05:14] ---
Damn it! You had someone
follow me, didn't you?
[05:18] ---
Goodness. First Harada-kun and now you.
The Shinsengumi can be most trying.
[05:25] ---
Chizuru, today I have come to bring you back.
[05:29] ---
As long as we have these furies,
we can revive our clan's former glory.
[05:34] ---
So you truly mean to use the furies
to revive the Yukimura clan?
[05:40] ---
But of course! Now then, come along, Chizuru.
[05:44] ---
No! I cannot go with you, Father.
[05:51] ---
You've spent too much time
with the Shinsengumi.
[05:54] ---
It would seem they have poisoned you.
[06:01] ---
Run for it, Chizuru.
[06:02] ---
Hurry!
[06:15] ---
Damn it!
[06:18] ---
Heisuke-kun!
[06:24] ---
Stop it, Father!
[06:29] ---
Chizuru!
[06:33] ---
Chizuru!
[06:38] ---
Chizuru!
[06:45] ---
Damn it!
[06:47] ---
Chizuru!
[06:59] ---
Chizuru, are you all right?
[07:02] ---
Father, where am I?
[07:04] ---
Be at ease. This is Sendai Castle.
[07:07] ---
Sendai Castle...?
[07:11] ---
Where is Heisuke-kun?!
[07:12] ---
I'm sorry I had to get rough with you,
but I wanted to speak with you in a calm manner.
[07:18] ---
Father...
[07:19] ---
I want you to lead the devils as
the last member of the main family branch.
[07:24] ---
That is not what I want.
[07:27] ---
Father, please change your mind!
[07:30] ---
Chizuru, this is what Kaoru-kun wanted
and it is for your own good.
[07:37] ---
Kaoru...
[07:41] ---
Kaoru-kun was a misfortunate
child clear until the end.
[07:45] ---
I want you to carry on the
ideals he imparted to you.
[07:50] ---
Not a single day has passed where
I can forget our people's tragic history.
[07:56] ---
I swore I would someday
make them pay for humiliating us!
[07:58] ---
No, Father! Please don't seek vengeance.
[08:02] ---
If you do, it will only create more sadness!
[08:07] ---
Father, you were my pride and joy.
[08:10] ---
You saved countless lives as a doctor
and earned their gratitude.
[08:15] ---
That was the father I respected,
ever since I was a child!
[08:21] ---
Father, you should know that the weight
of a human life is no different than that of a devil's.
[08:27] ---
But...
[08:28] ---
Humans and devils can coexist as friends!
[08:33] ---
Even after learning that I am a devil, there were
people who continued to treat me as their friend.
[08:39] ---
That's why-
[08:41] ---
May I interrupt?
[08:44] ---
You may enter.
[08:47] ---
Sannan-san!
[08:49] ---
It has been a while, hasn't it?
[08:52] ---
Sannan-san, what is going on?!
[08:55] ---
In order to conduct research on the furies,
I secretly formed an alliance with Kodo-san.
[09:03] ---
An alliance?
[09:04] ---
Does that mean you have betrayed
the Shinsengumi? Betrayed Hijikata-san?
[09:10] ---
Sannan-san!
[09:15] ---
Chizuru, you okay?!
[09:18] ---
Heisuke-kun!
[09:20] ---
Slaying all those guys took a while.
[09:25] ---
This is one strange castle.
[09:27] ---
There aren't any people
and the defenses are weak.
[09:30] ---
Hijikata-san!
[09:32] ---
I thought it was about
time for you to show up.
[09:37] ---
Explain yourself, Sannan-san.
[09:40] ---
Are the murders in town your doing?
[09:43] ---
No. I have slain furies who went berserk,
but I never murdered innocents.
[09:48] ---
Then why did you neglect to contact us?
[09:51] ---
And what are you doing
together with Kodo-san?
[09:55] ---
You will not find what you seek in Sendai.
[09:58] ---
The Northern Alliance plans
to avoid entering the war.
[10:02] ---
The brutal defeat Aizu suffered
must have scared them.
[10:06] ---
While I was spying on the enemy, I discovered
that Kodo-san is dissatisfied with the Imperial Army.
[10:12] ---
The Imperial Army secretly ordered me to come here,
but I am fed up with all these human conflicts.
[10:19] ---
I joined forces with him so we could pursue creating
a devil kingdom that will also harbor furies.
[10:29] ---
What?!
[10:31] ---
I infiltrated the castle and
assumed control of Sendai.
[10:37] ---
No wonder something seemed
off with this castle.
[10:46] ---
At present, all of the furies in Japan are
gathered here inside this one castle.
[10:51] ---
They will be our ultimate weapon
when we stamp out the Imperial Army.
[10:57] ---
Come. Lend us your hand, Chizuru.
[11:00] ---
We need you to be our leader.
[11:04] ---
Let's use these furies to
revive the Yukimura clan.
[11:07] ---
Father, if you refuse to change your mind,
then you will no longer be my...
[11:14] ---
What say you, Hijikata-kun?
[11:16] ---
Care to lead these furies in a fight
against the Imperial Army?
[11:22] ---
We don't need a Fury Corps to fight our wars!
[11:25] ---
Then you leave me no choice...
[11:49] ---
We furies can do nothing but fight.
[11:52] ---
If you say we no longer have
a place on the battlefield...
[12:07] ---
...it would be an act of mercy to put
them out of their misery now!
[12:12] ---
Heisuke!
[12:12] ---
You got it!
[12:14] ---
Wh-why, Sannan-kun?
[12:16] ---
I must apologize, but
the Shinsengumi Commander's orders are absolute.
[12:23] ---
Were you planning this from the start?
[12:26] ---
"To fool the enemy, first
deceive your allies."
[12:30] ---
Sannan-san, you're actin' way too cool.
[12:35] ---
Fools! Now that the Shinsengumi has lost most
of its forces, how will you go about fighting?
[13:03] ---
Stop! Please stop.
[13:08] ---
Look out!
[13:11] ---
Father, get a hold of yourself!
[13:13] ---
Are you all right, Kodo-san?
[13:15] ---
I am sorry.
[13:16] ---
I had planned on giving
the Fury Corps to the Shinsengumi,
[13:20] ---
but if that is not possible,
then I must do this!
[13:23] ---
I am out of time!
[13:28] ---
No matter how many times I modified the medicine,
it still consumes our life force.
[13:31] ---
They still suffer from their bloodlust.
[13:48] ---
I have no choice but to personally
bring this to an end!
[13:52] ---
Kodo-san, you should be fully aware of this!
[13:54] ---
You know that there is
no future for us furies.
[14:00] ---
Now, now at long last...
[14:03] ---
...I can bring this to an end!
[14:08] ---
Don't hold this against me!
[14:10] ---
After all, I...
[14:13] ---
...will share your same fate!
[14:18] ---
Father, get out of here!
[14:19] ---
Chizuru!
[14:21] ---
Hurry!
[14:23] ---
Chizuru!
[14:35] ---
Father!
[14:46] ---
Father, hang in there!
[14:49] ---
I was always aware that there
is no future for the furies.
[14:55] ---
But I simply could not
bring myself to give up...
[15:00] ---
on reviving the Yukimura clan, your clan...
[15:05] ---
Father...
[15:06] ---
Chizuru, I fully understand how you feel.
[15:11] ---
Follow the path... that you believe in.
[15:18] ---
Father!
[15:19] ---
I am sorry. I never acted
like much of a father to you.
[15:26] ---
I always put you through such hardship...
[15:29] ---
That's not true! It's not...
[15:33] ---
I have always been proud of you, Father.
[15:39] ---
I cared for you as if
you were my real father.
[15:45] ---
Father!
[15:50] ---
The Shinsengumi has just lost
a great deal of its military strength.
[15:54] ---
Do you think you can win your future battles?
[15:57] ---
No one fights with the intent to lose.
[16:00] ---
And Hijikata-san, you're one sore loser.
[16:05] ---
We were a fruitless creation of the times.
[16:07] ---
We never should have made
the furies to begin with.
[16:21] ---
Now then, shall we head on back?
[16:25] ---
Heisuke!
[16:26] ---
Sannan-san!
[16:32] ---
It would seem I've reached my limit.
[16:35] ---
Our lives have reached their end.
[16:41] ---
Did you know this would happen?
[16:43] ---
Yeah...
[16:44] ---
It is my body...
[16:47] ---
Hijikata-kun, there were times
we did not see eye-to-eye.
[16:53] ---
But I have always acknowledged
your abilities.
[16:59] ---
I am proud that I could fight
alongside you in the Shinsengumi.
[17:06] ---
Yeah! I feel the same, Sannan-san.
[17:09] ---
Hijikata-san, I'm in your debt.
[17:14] ---
Even after I left the corps,
you still welcomed me back...
[17:19] ---
That wasn't just me! Everyone
was worried about you.
[17:23] ---
You're young, naive, and
quick to lose your temper.
[17:28] ---
In the end, was I of any... help?
[17:44] ---
Live a nice, long life, Hijikata-san...
[17:48] ---
I will.
[17:49] ---
I don't really believe you.
[17:53] ---
Hijikata-san, you're such a hothead...
[17:58] ---
Don't act like a brat!
[18:02] ---
Yukimura-kun, I have hurt
you so many times...
[18:08] ---
Please forgive me.
[18:25] ---
Please look after... Hijikata-kun.
[18:30] ---
I will!
[18:31] ---
Chizuru...
[18:33] ---
Keep a close eye on him.
[18:38] ---
Don't let him rush through life.
[18:44] ---
Don't look at me like that.
[18:47] ---
Please smile... like always.
[19:01] ---
That's the one. Stay like that...
[19:05] ---
Heisuke-kun!
[19:26] ---
Thus, Sendai Castle was freed
from the Fury Corps' oppression.
[19:33] ---
But the Sendai Domain's allegiance
to the Imperial Army remained unchanged.
[19:40] ---
Only Juntaro Hoshi and his
western-style unit joined us.
[19:44] ---
A few days thereafter, the former Bakufu army met up
with us, bolstering the soldiers' spirits.
[19:51] ---
From there we will cross the
strait and head toward Ezo.
[19:54] ---
Ezo
[19:55] ---
We shall build a new country there!
[19:58] ---
The battles in Ezo will probably
be fiercer than anything we've faced.
[20:02] ---
You have done more than
your share of fighting.
[20:05] ---
I won't stop anyone who wants out now.
[20:08] ---
We will live and die with the Shinsengumi.
[20:11] ---
We'll tag along even if you tell us not to!
[20:16] ---
You're a group of idiots!
[20:32] ---
Hijikata-san!
[20:35] ---
Chizuru.
[20:36] ---
Sir!
[20:37] ---
I want you to stay here.
[20:41] ---
Get away from all this fighting.
[20:43] ---
I will not allow you to accompany us to Ezo.
[20:45] ---
Wh-why not?
[20:47] ---
Don't let us bind you down
more than we already have.
[20:50] ---
Go search for your own future...
[20:52] ---
...and live.
[20:53] ---
No... Hijikata-san!
[20:58] ---
Wait! Hijikata-san!
[21:03] ---
That's an order from the
commander of the Shinsengumi.
[21:20] ---
October 1868. Hijikata-san and
the others set sail for Ezo.
