    In the name of the Aizu Lt. General,
SIGN    Ikeda Inn
[00:13] ---
    
    we are the Shinsengumi!
[00:15] Default
    We're entering this
    inn for interrogation!
[00:20] Default
    If you resist, you shall be cut
    down without hesitation!
[00:24] Default
    Kill them!
[02:16] Default
    Informing them in a huge
    voice we're about to
[02:19] ---
    
    raid them is just like Kondou-san, huh?
[02:21] Default
    Where's the harm?
[02:23] ---
    Announcing yourself loud and clear
[02:25] ---
    is doing a raid by the book!
[02:27] Default
    Putting yourself at a disadvantage
    is "by the book"?

    Episode 3
    The Flower that Blooms
    in Twilight
[03:07] Default
    There are only two of them!
[03:08] Default
    Don't hesitate! Kill them!
[03:10] Default
    They're not doing a bad job,
    but they're hesitatin', all right.
[03:13] Default
    We'll clean them up by the time
[03:14] ---
    
    Hijikata and them get here.
[03:20] Default
    Don't mind me.
[03:21] Default
    Hey! No fair!
SIGN    Shikoku Inn
[03:57] Default
    They sure are late, huh?
[03:59] Default
    The shogun's representatives.
[04:01] Default
    Shall we send out another runner?
[04:04] Default
    A message!
[04:07] Default
    Yukimura-kun!
[04:08] Default
    What are you doing, woman?
[04:12] Default
    They're at... the Ikeda Inn!
[04:25] Default
    What the hell are you?!
[04:27] Default
    Stop.
[04:28] ---
    You have no reason to fight me.
[04:30] Default
    What was that?
[04:32] Default
    If you fall back, I won't take
    your life indiscriminately.
[04:37] Default
    Unfortunately, we DO have a reason.
[04:40] ---
    We can't overlook what you
    Choshu guys are doing!
[04:46] Default
    I can't say I'm pleased you've
    decided I'm a Choshu.
[05:06] Default
    Wait... dammit!
[05:25] Default
    You may be worthy of
    sinking my teeth into.
[05:27] Default
    Let your guard down,
    and you'll find those
[05:30] ---
    
    teeth being knocked out of your mouth!
[05:59] Default
    Toshi! Where are you?
[06:08] Default
    Gen-san and the others, secure the area.
[06:11] Default
    Let's go!
[06:14] Default
    I'll go around the back.
[06:20] Default
    Hijikata-san.
[06:29] Default
    NOW they come.
[06:30] ---
    Saito, secure the inside.
[06:33] Default
    The Shinsengumi's vice commander
[06:35] ---
    will greet our honored guests directly.
[06:39] Default
    Understood. We're going in!
[06:43] Default
    Go on!
[06:49] Default
    Let no one escape.
[06:51] ---
    No holding back.
[06:52] Default
    Kill all who oppose you!
[06:55] Default
    Thank you for the message.
[06:56] Default
    Huh?
[06:57] ---
    No, I didn't do anything...
[07:00] Default
    It's thanks to you we
    can claim first right.
[07:03] Default
    First right?
[07:08] Default
    Shinsengumi, eh? Good work.
[07:10] ---
    We of the Aizu clan shall now take over.
[07:13] Default
    We of the Shinsengumi,
    under the Lt. General,
[07:15] ---
    
    are in the process of securing the Ikeda Inn.
[07:18] Default
    Your help is not required.
[07:20] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[07:21] Default
    What are you saying?
[07:23] Default
    We have come to put down the
[07:24] ---
    rogue samurais gathered
    at the Ikeda Inn!
[07:26] Default
    Would you please not
    enter the Ikeda Inn?
[07:29] Default
    You're saying that you'll block us?!
[07:31] Default
    I'm saying this for your own sakes.
[07:34] Default
    What was that?
[07:36] Default
    They're here.
[07:41] Default
    Hey there. You're late.
[07:44] Default
    Unfortunately, I've
    already had all the fun.
[07:49] Default
    Today, I give it to you.
[07:53] Default
    Don't go tryin' to
    sneak out the back way!
[08:05] Default
    Ando! Nitta! You're all right now.
[08:08] ---
    
    Just hang in there!
[08:12] Default
    Well done, Okusawa.
[08:14] Default
    Your death appears splendid.
[08:22] Default
    If one entered not wearing
    the clothes of our unit,
[08:25] Default
    the men inside would strike him down.
[08:28] Default
    If you value your life,
    you will wait here.
[08:32] Default
    I'll say this again:
    Your help is not needed.
[08:37] Default
    If the officials could
    go in, subduing the rogue
[08:39] ---
    
    Choshu samurais would fall to them.
[08:41] Default
    Yamazaki-san...
[08:43] Default
    The bravery of the Shinsengumi,
    who went in first,
[08:46] ---
    could go unknown.
[08:48] Default
    But that's...
[08:50] Default
    That is in how little regard we
    Shinsengumi are held.
[08:56] Default
    The vice commander, all alone, is trying
    to be the Shinsengumi's shield,
[08:59] Default
    to preserve the credit of his comrades.
[09:05] Default
    Hang in there!
[09:06] Default
    Are you all right?
[09:08] Default
    Use this.
[09:09] Default
    I'm... all right.
[09:11] ---
    There are still injured inside.
[09:17] Default
    Yukimura-kun!
[09:23] Default
    Woman, what are you doing?
[09:25] Default
    You mustn't be in here!
[09:27] Default
    Nagakura-san! Your hand is hurt!
[09:30] Default
    It's just a scratch.
[09:31] ---
    But Souji is vomiting blood.
[09:33] Default
    Okita-san is?
[09:35] Default
    Where's Souji?
[09:36] Default
    The second floor.
[09:37] Default
    I'll go!
[09:38] Default
    Yukimura-kun, no!
[09:50] Default
    Saito-san!
[09:51] Default
    I wouldn't sleep well
    knowing you'd died.
[09:54] Default
    But protecting you is not my job.
[09:57] Default
    If you're going to running into places,
[09:59] ---
    
    you'll have to defend yourself.
[10:01] ---
    
[10:32] Default
    Okita-san!
[10:39] Default
    That's the extent of your skill?
[10:44] Default
    Okita-san!
[10:45] Default
    You're bleeding!
[10:46] Default
    You're another of his comrades, eh?
[10:49] Default
    If you interfere, I'll kill you, too.
[10:56] Default
    I'M your opponent, right?
[10:59] Default
    Can't you leave the girl alone?
[11:01] Default
    How foolish.
[11:03] ---
    In your state,
    you can offer her no protection.
[11:06] Default
    I'm not useless!
[11:09] Default
    You mustn't! You're coughing up blood!
[11:15] Default
    What are you up to?
[11:16] Default
    From the moment you all rushed in,
[11:19] ---
    
    my work was at an end.
[11:21] Default
    There are no more sounds.
[11:23] ---
    Is it over?
[11:25] Default
    Wait!
[11:29] Default
    Dammit! I can...
[11:32] ---
    I can still fight!
[11:39] Default
    Okita-san.
[11:40] Default
    Okita-san! Okita-san!
[11:53] Default
    Of the 20 or so
[11:54] ---
    imperial nationalist
    samurai at the Ikeda Inn,
[11:58] Default
    the Shinsengumi struck down seven,
[12:00] ---
    
    and four sustained injuries.
[12:03] Default
    Considering they'd challenged an enemy
[12:05] ---
    
    with such an advantage in numbers,
[12:07] Default
    the Shinsengumi had arguably
[12:08] ---
    
    achieved remarkable results.
[12:11] Default
    However, the injuries
    to the Shinsengumi's
[12:13] ---
    
    side were by no means slight.
[12:16] Default
    One of their men died.
[12:17] ---
    
    Two sustained grave injuries. And...
[12:21] Default
    Dammit.
[12:23] Default
    Dammit! You better remember me,
[12:26] ---
    
    next time we meet!
[12:29] Default
    Okita-san.
[12:31] Default
    Why did you protect me?
[12:34] Default
    You always say that if I get
    in the way, you'll kill me.
[12:38] Default
    Actually, why DID I do that?
[12:42] Default
    Okita-san...
SIGN    Truth
[13:01] Default
    That's...
[13:02] Default
    the Shinsengumi.
[13:17] Default
    This is medicine.
[13:18] Default
    Oh, my. Am I taking it, too?
[13:21] Default
    The wound to my left
    arm has gotten better.
[13:23] Default
    But Hijikata-san told
    me to bring it for you.
[13:28] Default
    Sannan-san. Let's just give in.
[13:34] Default
    If the vice commander orders it...
SIGN    Ishida Medicinal Powder
[13:36] Default
    Was this medicine specially prescribed?
[13:39] Default
    The Ishida Medicinal Powder?
[13:43] Default
    Well, yeah, I guess it's special.
[13:45] Default
    Ishida Medicinal Powder?
[13:47] Default
    Hijikata-san's family makes it.
[13:50] Default
    That's right!
[13:51] Default
    "If your body's been cut up,
    no matter how much it hurts,
[13:54] Default
    "this'll heal you right up!
    That's Ishida Medicinal Powder!
[13:56] Default
    "C'mon, give it a try!"
[13:59] Default
    I wonder how it really is...
[14:01] Default
    Gross!
[14:04] Default
    Care to try me?
[14:05] Default
    C-Come one, now!
[14:08] ---
    I can't go gettin'
    MORE injuries, can I?!
[14:12] Default
    Still, to think there
    were fighters who could
[14:15] ---
    
    even harm Okita-kun and Toudou-kun...
[14:18] Default
    Next time we meet, I will be the winner.
[14:21] Default
    It seems they claimed
    that they weren't Choshu.
[14:24] Default
    Yeah.
[14:25] Default
    However, the Ikeda Inn supposedly
[14:27] ---
    
    cleared out its other guests that day.
[14:29] Default
    Meaning what?
[14:31] Default
    They may have from another clan,
[14:34] ---
    
    spies who'd sneaked in for some reason.
[14:36] Default
    But why? For what reason?
[14:49] Default
    Hey.
[14:52] Default
    Go with Harada on patrol today.
[14:54] Default
    Huh? But today's not my day
[14:56] ---
    
    to go on patrol with them...
[14:59] Default
    Shut up and go.
[15:17] Default
    Um, Harada-san?
[15:19] ---
    I get the feeling the
    village people are avoiding us...
[15:25] Default
    Following the Ikedaya Inn Incident,
[15:26] ---
    
    they've come to completely hate us.
[15:29] Default
    But why is that?
[15:30] ---
    All of you work to
    protect the peace here in Kyoto.
[15:34] Default
    Kyoto folk are Bakufu-hating
    Choshu toadies, that's why.
[15:39] Default
    Nagakura-san!
[15:40] Default
    Hey, Chizuru-chan.
[15:41] ---
    Learn anything
    new about your dad?
[15:44] Default
    No. Not at all.
[15:46] Default
    I see.
[15:48] ---
    Well, if not today,
    there's always tomorrow?
[15:51] ---
    Right?
[15:53] Default
    Yes!
[15:54] Default
    Shinpachi.
[15:56] ---
    Anything out of the ordinary?
[15:57] Default
    Nope.
[15:59] ---
    Not on the surface.
[16:01] Default
    On the surface?
[16:03] Default
    There are rumors that Choshu guys
[16:06] ---
    
    are gathering here in Kyoto.
[16:08] Default
    Huh?
[16:09] Default
    Things are lookin'
    suspicious again, huh?
[16:12] Default
    Just what is going to happen to Kyoto?
[16:17] Default
    Sorry, but you all go on ahead.
[16:19] Default
    We've got something to take care of.
[16:21] Default
    Sir!
[16:25] Default
    Huh?
[16:26] Default
    Shinpachi. You come, too.
[16:28] Default
    Well, wanna go?
[16:39] Default
    Hey, Sano.
[16:41] Default
    Just where are we going?
[16:43] Default
    Well, never you mind.
[16:46] Default
    Never mind, you say?
[16:54] Default
    What's that sound?
[17:10] Default
    So pretty!
[17:14] Default
    Tomorrow is the second
    half of the Gion Festival.
[17:17] Default
    This is your last chance to see the
    Yamahoko parade.
[17:19] ---
    Pretty great, huh?
[17:21] Default
    Yes!
[17:23] Default
    "The sound of the bells
    of Jetavana Monastery...
[17:28] Default
    "Their ring is the transience
    of worldly things.
[17:31] Default
    "The color of the flowers
    of the sal tree imparts

    the truth that the prosperous shall decay.

    more than a dream on a spring night.

    "Even the mighty perish at last,

    and are as dust before the wind."
[17:51] Default
    Huh.
[17:52] Default
    What was that?
[17:54] Default
    The opening lines to a military record
    called the Tale of the Heike.
[17:58] Default
    Hearing the musicians just
    now made me think of it.
[18:01] Default
    Even the greatest splendor
    will fall to ruin.
[18:04] Default
    It means nothing ever
    remains as it is forever.
[18:09] Default
    Will fall... to ruin...
[18:13] Default
    Say, Shinpachi, you've confused
    the band's music
[18:16] Default
    for the bells of Jetavana
    Monastery, haven't you?
[18:18] Default
    That wasn't me! Heisuke said that!
[18:21] Default
    But you took what he said
    at face value, right?
[18:24] Default
    Sh-Shut up!
[18:33] Default
    Wanna see it closer?
[18:35] Default
    Huh? But...
[18:37] Default
    Hey, is this all right?
[18:39] Default
    What're you gonna do if
    Hijikata-san finds out
[18:40] ---
    we took our time coming back?
[18:42] Default
    As it turns out, it was Hijikata-san
[18:44] ---
    
    who instructed us to take our time.
[18:46] Default
    Huh?
[18:47] Default
    I guess he means it as a reward for you.
[18:49] Default
    Yeah.
[18:50] Default
    I wouldn't have expected that.
[18:52] ---
    Not from him.
[18:55] Default
    He may not look it, but
    he's a thoughtful guy.
[18:59] Default
    Okay, well...
[19:00] Default
    Let's go!
SIGN    July, 1864
[19:20] Default
    We've received a formal
    request from Aizu.
[19:24] Default
    They want us to mobilize
    and subjugate the Choshu.
[19:29] Default
    That's awesome!
[19:31] Default
    Even Aizu has finally
    acknowledged our actions.
[19:36] Default
    All right!

    This is the Shinsengumi's
    shining moment!

    so you gotta stay behind.
[19:44] Default
    Huh?! No way!
[19:46] Default
    Well, the injured need to rest
    and stay on standby, right?
[19:49] Default
    That applies to you too, Okita-kun.
[19:51] Default
    Huh?
[19:52] Default
    Though you may object,
    you shall stay here with me.

    Huh?

    CHIZURU?!
[20:05] Default
    I'm not asking her to join
    us on the battlefield.

    messages and caring to the wounded.

    We won't force you.
