[00:02] ---
Serizawa-san, it’s me, Kondou.
[00:06] ---
Enter!
[00:08] ---
I’m coming in.
[00:20] ---
I believe you called for us.
[00:22] ---
Yeah.
[00:24] ---
You see, we have a great
idea for how to remedy
[00:28] ---
the Roshigumi’s need for more men.
[00:30] ---
My! What do you have in mind?
[00:36] ---
The Shogunate sent this
[00:38] ---
practitioner of Western medicine to us.
[00:40] ---
He is Kodo Yukimura-dono.
[00:43] ---
The Shogunate sent him?
[00:44] ---
Indeed.
[00:46] ---
Under the Shogunate’s orders,
[00:48] ---
Yukimura-dono and I began advancing
[00:51] ---
the preparations some time back.
[00:55] ---
When exactly was “some time back”?
[00:59] ---
It was some time ago.
[01:06] ---
So what is this excellent idea?
[01:11] ---
Ow!
[01:12] ---
That’s enough, cur.
[01:14] ---
Remove yourself.
[01:16] ---
Fine!
[02:54] ---
They’re taking forever...
[02:55] ---
Whatcha think Kondou-san and
[02:57] ---
the others are talkin’ about?
[02:59] ---
Orders from the Shogunate, eh?
[03:00] ---
This smells fishy!
[03:02] ---
We have Isami-san and Toshi-san.
[03:05] ---
I doubt things will turn out poorly.
[03:08] ---
We should leave this in their hands.
[03:11] ---
Ibuki-kun, shouldn’t you be
[03:12] ---
massaging Serizawa-san’s shoulders?
[03:16] ---
He told me to stay here
until they finish talking!
[03:36] ---
Howling from the Darkness
[03:41] ---
What was with that scream?
[03:44] ---
Somethin’ serious is goin’ down!
[03:48] ---
Huh?
[03:49] ---
What’s wrong?
[03:50] ---
It won’t open!
[03:52] ---
Damn, what happened to him?!
[03:54] ---
Toshi! Sannan-kun!
Don’t let him get out!
[03:57] ---
Right!
[03:58] ---
Move it, Heisuke!
[04:01] ---
Gen-san, look after things here.
[04:02] ---
Yeah!
[04:03] ---
Sano, secure the front.
[04:05] ---
Got it!
[04:07] ---
Ibuki-kun!
[04:08] ---
You’ll only get in our
way if you tag along.
[04:12] ---
Wh-what was that?!
[04:21] ---
Wh-what is he?!
[04:32] ---
Humans don’t move like that.
[04:45] ---
Look out, Souji!
[05:04] ---
If you lack the resolve to kill someone
[05:05] ---
when you draw that, get out of here!
[05:09] ---
Shinpachi!
[05:16] ---
Be careful, Sano!
[05:17] ---
There’s something weird about him!
[05:32] ---
Sano-san!
[05:39] ---
His injury--!
[05:46] ---
Run for it, Ryunosuke!
[06:01] ---
Hijikata-san, get away from him! He can--
[06:03] ---
It’s okay.
[06:05] ---
Supposedly you can kill it by
[06:07] ---
piercing its heart or by beheading it.
[06:14] ---
Is everyone uninjured?
[06:16] ---
Kondou-san!
[06:17] ---
Are you are all right?
[06:21] ---
Dang, what the heck was that?
[06:32] ---
If you lack any real resolve,
[06:34] ---
don’t waltz out onto a battlefield.
[06:49] ---
I’ve seen that face somewhere before.
[06:52] ---
Saito, Harada!
[06:55] ---
Sorry, but I need you
to carry him inside.
[06:57] ---
’Kay.
[06:58] ---
Very well.
[07:00] ---
Everyone, please gather in the hall.
[07:03] ---
We need to talk.
[07:05] ---
That includes you, Ibuki.
[07:07] ---
Huh?
[07:08] ---
You saw him.
[07:18] ---
The Bakufu obtained this
through foreign trade.
[07:22] ---
This medicine is called
the “Water of Life.”
[07:25] ---
If you drink this, your abilities in
battle will substantially increase.
[07:29] ---
At the same time, you will obtain
remarkable healing abilities.
[07:33] ---
But on the other hand, you will lose
[07:36] ---
the power of thought and your sanity.
[07:39] ---
Meaning that it isn’t full
of nothing but perks, eh?
[07:43] ---
Indeed. To top it off,
they can only exercise
[07:46] ---
those powers in the dark.
[07:50] ---
We call those who drink the medicine
[07:53] ---
and exhibit these powers “furies.”
[07:56] ---
The way he looked...
[07:57] ---
He was definitely a fury.
[08:00] ---
I remember! That was Iesato!
[08:03] ---
That’s right.
[08:05] ---
Iesato...?
[08:08] ---
Wasn’t he one of the
guys who left Edo with us?
[08:11] ---
You used one of our pals to test
out some crazy medicine?!
[08:17] ---
He was supposed to slice open
[08:19] ---
his gut for breaking the code.
[08:21] ---
It’s the same punishment.
[08:23] ---
That’s no excuse!
[08:25] ---
He didn’t get to die by seppuku!
[08:28] ---
That is the only difference.
[08:32] ---
Serizawa-san, I am against
experimenting with this medicine.
[08:36] ---
When Iesato became a fury,
he didn’t recognize us at all!
[08:41] ---
I am of like mind.
[08:43] ---
But according to Yukimura-dono,
[08:46] ---
there is still plenty
of room for improvement.
[08:49] ---
And to test it out,
[08:51] ---
you’d have to experiment
on another person again!
[08:54] ---
The Shogunate ordered us to do this!
[08:56] ---
There is no need to obey
an unreasonable order.
[09:00] ---
Generally, warriors consider
[09:02] ---
obeying orders from the
Shogun to be virtuous,
[09:07] ---
even if they are unreasonable orders.
[09:11] ---
Serizawa-san, you...!
[09:14] ---
Although I don’t expect one not born
[09:17] ---
into a warrior family to understand.
[09:20] ---
What was that?!
[09:21] ---
Toshi!
[09:22] ---
Considering our current standing,
[09:26] ---
we cannot ignore the will of the Shogunate.
[09:29] ---
Sannan-san...!
[09:32] ---
However, if there is still
room for improvement,
[09:36] ---
I feel it would be wise for Niimi-san to
[09:41] ---
step down from his position as chief
[09:44] ---
and concentrate on his
research so that there
[09:46] ---
is not a repeat of what just happened.
[09:48] ---
What?! Th-that’s absurd!
[09:51] ---
I-I could never step down--
[09:53] ---
Very well.
[09:54] ---
S-Serizawa-sensei!
[10:00] ---
V-very well.
[10:02] ---
Then Niimi-san and Kodo-san will
[10:04] ---
conduct experiments on the medicine.
[10:06] ---
I shall offer you my assistance.
[10:11] ---
Everyone is dismissed for tonight.
[10:14] ---
Do not tell others about this.
[10:17] ---
Got that?
[10:20] ---
Is that a letter from Toku-san in Edo?
[10:23] ---
Yeah.
[10:25] ---
As always, she says
to take care of myself
[10:29] ---
and not to go losing my temper
[10:31] ---
and picking fights with our soldiers.
[10:33] ---
It’s the same as always.
[10:35] ---
My big sis is still treating
me like a little kid!
[10:40] ---
She’s worried about you.
[10:43] ---
I wish she’d have a
bit more faith in me...
[10:53] ---
What is the matter?
[10:56] ---
How am I supposed to respond?
[10:59] ---
Even though I got to stay in Kyoto,
[11:01] ---
Serizawa-san has been carrying
us through everything.
[11:04] ---
Toshi-san?
[11:06] ---
In the end, I haven’t accomplished
a damn thing on my own.
[11:11] ---
To top it off,
[11:13] ---
now we’re stuck relying
on some eerie medicine.
[11:16] ---
We’re even sacrificing men...
[11:19] ---
That isn’t your fault, Toshi-san!
[11:22] ---
At this rate,
[11:23] ---
the Roshigumi is going to
turn into some shady organization.
[11:26] ---
We’re going down a direction that
[11:28] ---
differs from what we were aiming for.
[11:31] ---
We can’t keep on as we have.
[11:34] ---
I still lack resolve...
[11:39] ---
I’m not one to chastise Ibuki, am I?
[11:44] ---
Toshi-san...
[11:46] ---
There is no need for you
to bear this on your own.
[11:49] ---
Gen-san...
[11:51] ---
We will help you bear
these heavy burdens.
[11:54] ---
We will accompany you
no matter where you go.
[11:58] ---
Thanks.
[12:00] ---
Bluntly put, the Shogunate and
[12:03] ---
the Aizu Domain want to
[12:04] ---
use us to do their dirty work, right?
[12:07] ---
That is the extent of
our worth at present.
[12:11] ---
Sannan-san, are you okay with this?!
[12:14] ---
Can you keep your cool if one of your
[12:16] ---
buddies get turned into a monster?!
[12:18] ---
Do you think I am okay with this?
[12:32] ---
Damn it!
[12:33] ---
[12:38] ---
Oh, Ibuki-kun! I’d like
you to join us in the hall.
[12:42] ---
Can’t. Niimi-san sent me over to drop
[12:45] ---
this off with Sannan-san.
[12:47] ---
Then this works out well!
[12:48] ---
Sannan-kun and the others
are all waiting in the hall.
[12:53] ---
We’re greeting the new recruits.
[12:59] ---
Long time no see, Nagakura-san.
[13:04] ---
Oh, it’s you!
[13:06] ---
What is it, Shinpachi?
[13:08] ---
You know him?
[13:09] ---
Yeah. Back in Edo
[13:11] ---
we attended the
Shingyoto-style dojo together.
[13:15] ---
My name is Kai Shimada.
[13:18] ---
I was studying the spear at a dojo
[13:21] ---
in Osaka until just the other day.
[13:21] ---
What’re you doing here?
[13:23] ---
Beats me!
[13:23] ---
I heard that the Roshigumi
was recruiting, so...
[13:24] ---
Kondou-san said I should
make their acquaintance
[13:27] ---
since we’ll be living in
the headquarters together.
[13:27] ---
We’ll be a hundred men
stronger with you by our side!
[13:29] ---
It’s a pleasure being here!
[13:32] ---
Okay, next!
[13:34] ---
I am Susumu Yamazaki.
[13:37] ---
It is a pleasure to
make your acquaintance.
[13:39] ---
Weren’t you born in Osaka?
[13:41] ---
Sir! My father was an acupuncturist.
[13:45] ---
So do you possess medical knowledge?
[13:48] ---
A little.
[13:49] ---
Great!
[13:50] ---
We may need to make use
of that knowledge someday.
[13:54] ---
Sir!
[13:55] ---
Okay, next!
[13:57] ---
Sir! I am Katsuji Kawashima.
[13:59] ---
It is a pleasure to meet you!
[14:02] ---
This is everyone, right?
[14:05] ---
Once you join the Roshigumi,
[14:07] ---
regardless of your birth and rearing
[14:10] ---
we will treat your like warriors.
[14:12] ---
Are you ready for this?
[14:14] ---
Sir!
[14:16] ---
From here out, let’s combine our forces
[14:17] ---
By the way, why isn’t
Serizawa-san here?
[14:18] ---
to crackdown on the rogue samurai
[14:20] ---
who are disturbing the peace in Kyoto.
[14:21] ---
Apparently he said he would leave
everything to Chief Kondou.
[14:24] ---
Guys, I want you to maintain
an indomitable resolve.
[14:25] ---
No matter who joins,
[14:27] ---
it doesn’t matter to that man.
[14:30] ---
I’m counting on you!
[14:32] ---
Sir!
[14:35] ---
It is well known that the
rogue samurai’s main base
[14:39] ---
has moved from Kyoto to Osaka since the
[14:42] ---
Kyoto Military Commissioner
was put into office last year.
[14:47] ---
As such, rather than pursue essentially
[14:49] ---
fruitless patrols in Kyoto,
[14:52] ---
couldn’t we earn merits
faster by visiting Osaka
[14:57] ---
and arresting some ronin?
[14:59] ---
Fruitless patro--
[15:01] ---
You may be right.
[15:03] ---
Let’s prepare to leave
for Osaka right away.
[15:07] ---
I will let you decide who is coming.
[15:10] ---
Very well.
[15:12] ---
Make sure to select men who can kill.
[15:17] ---
Okay...
[15:19] ---
Dog, you’re coming as well.
[15:22] ---
Huh?
[15:23] ---
But I don’t think I’d
be of much help if I went.
[15:27] ---
If you don’t come,
[15:30] ---
who will carry my luggage?
[15:34] ---
The least you could do
is carry your own crap!
[15:36] ---
What was that?!
[15:39] ---
Master, I shall accompany you!
[15:42] ---
I have some work I would like
Ibuki-san to attend to here.
[15:46] ---
Humph!
[15:48] ---
Do as you wish.
[16:01] ---
What was it you wanted
me to take care of?
[16:04] ---
Oh, that was a lie.
[16:06] ---
A lie?
[16:08] ---
If I didn’t say that,
[16:10] ---
the master would
have forced you to go with him.
[16:13] ---
So you’re sacrificing
yourself for me...?
[16:16] ---
It’s nothing that grand!
[16:19] ---
Please relax and spread your
wings while we’re in Osaka.
[16:26] ---
Hirama-san, thank you.
[16:28] ---
Serizawa-sama and the others
are departing for Osaka?
[16:35] ---
Yukimura-dono!
[16:37] ---
I’ve been eagerly
awaiting your arrival!
[16:39] ---
I could use your advice
on something today.
[16:42] ---
Okay.
[16:43] ---
Come, come. Please, come inside!
[16:44] ---
It’s freaky how happy Niimi-san is.
[16:47] ---
That’s because Sannan-san,
who’d always
[16:50] ---
voice his opposition, left for Osaka.
[16:52] ---
Heisuke!
[16:57] ---
Please keep an eye on
Niimi-san and Kodo-san.
[16:59] ---
What?
[17:01] ---
Niimi-san intends to get the jump
on us
[17:04] ---
while Sannan-san is away
[17:06] ---
and proceed with the
experiments with Kodo-san.
[17:10] ---
No kidding.
[17:12] ---
I can’t leave Kyoto,
[17:14] ---
so I had Sannan-san go to Osaka.
[17:17] ---
But I don’t intend to let
them do as they please.
[17:20] ---
So you had me stay rather
than go to Osaka because...
[17:24] ---
I can only entrust this job
[17:25] ---
with someone who knows about
[17:28] ---
the Water of Life and furies and is
also a trustworthy companion.
[17:31] ---
Got it!
[17:32] ---
So it wasn’t because you
lacked faith in my abilities!
[17:36] ---
Of course not!
[17:37] ---
So that means you don’t
[17:39] ---
want to rely on that
medicine either, right?
[17:42] ---
You’re being too loud.
[17:44] ---
Oh, sorry.
[17:45] ---
Harada and I are going to the
magistrate’s office now.
[17:49] ---
I’m counting on you.
[17:51] ---
Leave them to me!
[17:56] ---
I am leaving now.
[17:58] ---
Okay.
[18:05] ---
I’ll walk you home.
[18:07] ---
It’d suck if you got attacked by
rogue samurai on your way back.
[18:12] ---
No, I will be fine.
[18:15] ---
I appreciate your concern.
[18:18] ---
Is your research progressing any?
[18:20] ---
This is not something that will
produce results overnight.
[18:27] ---
It would appear you think poorly of our
[18:32] ---
conducting research on the Water of Life.
[18:36] ---
Yeah. I understand our situation.
[18:40] ---
But even so,
[18:41] ---
I don’t want my
friends to take that medicine.
[18:44] ---
Indeed, it is not
something we should use.
[18:48] ---
However, it is also a fact that
countless lives will be saved
[18:54] ---
by that medicine’s powers.
[18:57] ---
Save lives?
[18:58] ---
With a medicine that
turns people into monsters?
[19:01] ---
Any who lose everything due to
their own powerlessness think,
[19:07] ---
“If only I had more power.”
[19:13] ---
The power obtained through
the Water of Life is fake.
[19:17] ---
It may not be true power,
[19:20] ---
yet even if it is fake,
[19:23] ---
there are things you can protect
[19:25] ---
so long as you possess it.
[19:28] ---
Do you have a reason for
seeking greater power?
[19:32] ---
I cannot say. I am simply a doctor.
[19:36] ---
If the power you seek brings us harm,
[19:44] ---
I will kill you on the spot!
[19:48] ---
Everyone has their own position,
ideas and ambitions!
[19:52] ---
It’s nice when you can talk things out,
[19:54] ---
but when you can’t...
[19:56] ---
When two adamant wills clash,
fighting is the only option.
[20:01] ---
That’s what I think.
[20:04] ---
Even so, if possible...
[20:06] ---
I don’t want
to kill someone if I don’t have to.
[20:10] ---
I think it’d be great if
I never had to kill anyone.
[20:15] ---
Farewell.
[20:26] ---
If you lack the resolve to kill
[20:27] ---
someone when you draw
that, get out of here!
[20:31] ---
If you lack any real resolve,
[20:33] ---
don’t waltz out onto a battlefield.
[20:37] ---
What do I have...?
SIGN Several Days Later
[20:44] ---
Serizawa-san!
[20:45] ---
A moment please!
[20:47] ---
Quit harping!
[20:52] ---
Move it, cur!
[20:54] ---
Ow!
[21:05] ---
Welcome back, Kondou-san.
[21:10] ---
Shinpatsu, did you have any luck?
[21:21] ---
Sannan-san, did something happen?
[21:25] ---
There was a scuffle with some
[21:28] ---
unarmed sumo wrestlers in Osaka...
[21:30] ---
A scuffle?
[21:34] ---
Serizawa-san and Okita-kun...
[21:47] ---
...struck down the wrestlers.
[21:50] ---
They what?!
[23:26] ---
Why, exactly, are you here?
[23:29] ---
I’m here to make Kondou-san
[23:30] ---
the head warrior in the
fight for a just cause.
[23:33] ---
Hijikata, you must become a devil!
[23:38] ---
