[00:05] Default
    Sannan-san...
[00:17] Default
    S-Sannan-san...
[00:34] Default
    L-Looks like I'm a Failed, aren't I?
[00:37] Default
    It would seem I have...
[00:40] ---
    even less luck than I thought.
[00:44] Default
    Sannan-san. Are you all right?
[00:46] Default
    This isn't the time for you
    to worry about ME, is it?
[00:49] ---
    Please, kill me while you can.
[00:53] Default
    Kill you?!
[00:54] Default
    The medicine was a failure.
[00:56] ---
    My mind is almost already gone.
[01:00] Default
    At this rate, I'm sure to... kill you!
[01:05] Default
    But there...
[01:06] Default
    There's no way I could do that!
[01:09] Default
    Do it!
[01:12] Default
    Sannan-san?
[01:15] Default
    Even under the influence
    of this medicine,
[01:18] ---
    if my heart stops, I can die.
[01:22] Default
    Sannan-san! Stop it!
[01:27] Default
    Come. Kill me now.
[01:31] Default
    I can't, Sannan-san! Stop it!
[01:34] Default
    Someone! Someone, please!
[01:36] Default
    Now... Please let me die!
[01:40] Default
    Stop this, Sannan-san!
[01:43] Default
    Stop it!
[01:46] Default
    Sannan-san!
[02:06] Default
    Sannan-san!
[02:09] Default
    Vice Commander!
[02:11] Default
    Shinpachi, take the Maekawa
    estate while Harada,
[02:14] ---
    you take the Yagi.
[02:16] Default
    Watch the soldiers' movements.
[02:17] Default
    Let no one approach this room!
[02:19] Default
    Okay.
[02:21] Default
    Saito, stand by in the garden.
[02:23] Default
    Keep Itou's men in check.
[02:24] Default
    Understood.
[02:26] Default
    Hijikata-san, I'll stay here.
[02:30] Default
    Feel like trying it?
[02:32] ---
    If you feel confident, I won't stop you.
[02:35] Default
    Well, if you fail, I'll do
    you a favor and kill you.
[02:39] Default
    All right. Tonight will decide it:
[02:43] ---
    whether he lives or dies...
[02:45] Default
    Or becomes broken.
[04:24] Default
    Hijikata-san. How fares Sannan-san?
[04:28] Default
    We still don't know.
[04:30] Default
    Sannan-san...
[04:35] Default
    Where am I?
[04:41] Default
    Would you mind explaining
    this situation?
[04:46] Default
    They're the same.
[04:48] ---
    Those eyes are the same as I when
[04:50] ---
    I first came to their headquarters.
[04:52] Default
    Episode 6
     The Devils' Existence
[04:59] Default
    What were you and Sannan-san
    doing together?
[05:03] Default
    I thought Sannan-san's
    arm would get better if
[05:06] ---
    he had medicine, so I
    went looking for some.
[05:09] Default
    Then, I happened to
    catch sight of him...
[05:13] Default
    Um, the medicine Sannan-san drank...
[05:16] ---
    Is it true that Dad...
[05:17] Default
    That my father was involved with it?
[05:21] Default
    You heard that from Sannan-san?
[05:24] Default
    The medicine makes people stronger
[05:26] ---
    but it destroys their wills.
[05:28] Default
    He said it was made by
    order of the Bakufu
[05:31] ---
    and used on the Shinsengumi
    they had at hand...
[05:37] Default
    If you've already heard,
    it can't be helped.
[05:39] Default
    True, Kodo-san was in
    charge of its development,
[05:43] Default
    but he vanished before completing it.
[05:48] Default
    Those who've taken the medicine
    are at the Maekawa estate.
[05:51] Default
    They're fine so long as
    they're kept away from blood,
[05:54] Default
    but once they "break,"
    they're beyond help.
[05:59] Default
    This is the Shinsengumi's secret,
    one only our top leaders know.
[06:04] Default
    But now, you've learned it.
[06:13] Default
    You may be useful in
    looking for Kodo-san,
[06:17] ---
    but we won't be troubled
    should you disappear.
[06:20] Default
    Any unsettling activity
    on your part and
[06:23] ---
    you'll be instantly killed.
    Keep that firmly in mind.
[06:25] Default
    Huh? Then I...
[06:28] Default
    I ain't killin' you yet.
[06:31] Default
    After all, you can die
    whenever and it'll be fine.
[06:36] Default
    Okay...
[06:40] Default
    Sannan-san, entrusted with
    looking after the medicine,
[06:43] ---
    continued to develop it.
[06:45] Default
    He tried to make it heal his arm while
[06:46] ---
    keeping his reason intact,
    but THAT was the result.
[06:50] Default
    You may only have known him
    after he'd become a bastard,
[06:53] Default
    but Sannan-san was very
    skilled, a genius.
[06:58] Default
    Since before there was a Shinsengumi,
[07:00] ---
    he's been like a big brother to me.
[07:08] Default
    We need Sannan-san.
[07:12] Default
    We can't lose him.
[07:18] Default
    It'll be all right.
[07:20] Default
    Sannan-san will be all right!
[07:24] Default
    Yeah.
[07:29] Default
    All we can do now is bet that his
[07:32] ---
    spirit will prevail over the medicine.
[07:50] Default
    Looks like Sannan-san
    is out of the woods.
[07:55] Default
    He's quieted down.
[07:56] ---
    He's still asleep.
[07:58] Default
    So, did Sannan-san do it?
[08:01] Default
    We won't know for sure until he awakens.
[08:04] Default
    To the eye, he's no
    different from yesterday.
[08:11] Default
    Good morning.
[08:16] Default
    You all right, Souji?
[08:17] Default
    Yeah. The air's kinda
    stale in here, so I...
[08:21] Default
    Oh, my. A brisk morning like this,
[08:24] ---
    yet all your faces appear uneasy.
[08:27] Default
    Could this have to do with
    the disturbance last night?
[08:30] Default
    Uh, well, that is...
[08:34] Default
    Hey! Fool him, Sano!
[08:36] Default
    Huh? ME?
[08:38] Default
    Yes, yes. Let's leave that to someone
[08:40] ---
    skilled at explaining things.
[08:47] Default
    As you say, Officer Itou,
[08:49] ---
    something did indeed occur last night.
[08:53] Default
    Headquarters has yet
    to return to normal.
[08:55] Default
    My, I'm sorry to hear that.
[08:58] Default
    Troubling you with this
    was the last thing
[09:01] ---
    that we wished to do.
[09:04] Default
    Thus, if we may assess the situation
[09:07] ---
    and inform you of the
    details this evening...
[09:11] Default
    I see.
[09:13] Default
    I understand now.
[09:15] Default
    If that's the case,
[09:17] ---
    I anxiously await your
    summons this evening.
[09:28] Default
    Still, it seems like he cut
    us some slack on that one.
[09:31] Default
    Maybe he just liked how
    Hajime-kun handled it.
[09:35] Default
    It would be nice to think that.
[09:38] Default
    The top staff is all assembled,
[09:40] ---
    but Sannan-san ain't here.
[09:42] Default
    Itou-san is sure to soon notice that
[09:44] ---
    something doesn't add up about that.
[09:47] Default
    Yeah, true enough.
[09:49] ---
    That guy sure is a pain.
[09:52] Default
    What do we do, Toshi?
[10:06] Default
    Sannan-san!
[10:08] Default
    You're all right to be up?
[10:09] Default
    I'm somewhat lethargic, but...
[10:12] Default
    I'm sure that's a side
    effect of the medicine.
[10:15] Default
    Since taking that medicine,
[10:17] ---
    my daily routine has
    become rather difficult.
[10:20] Default
    So, in other words...
[10:24] Default
    I am no longer human.
[10:27] Default
    We're just glad you're alive!
[10:30] Default
    That's more than enough!
[10:32] Default
    So, did it heal your arm?
[10:35] Default
    Yes, it appears to be healed.
[10:38] Default
    At least, it gives me no inconvenience.
[10:40] Default
    But you can't go out
    during the day, right?
[10:42] Default
    Can you perform your
    squad duties like that?
[10:47] Default
    You should just consider me dead.
[10:53] Default
    I think I'll bring together
    the new Shinsengumi
[10:57] ---
    as an example of the
    medicine's efficacy.
[11:00] Default
    We were ordered by the Bakufu to
[11:03] ---
    keep the medicine secret.
[11:05] Default
    But if I were dead,
[11:07] ---
    the medicine's existence
    would remain hidden.
[11:11] Default
    And if the medicine had no side effects,
[11:13] ---
    none would hesitate to use it, yes?
[11:16] Default
    That's the only way?
[11:19] Default
    Well, this is the path
    YOU chose, Sannan-san.
[11:25] Default
    So then, talk of moving
    the headquarters
[11:28] ---
    has ceased to be a joke.
[11:31] Default
    Hiding Sannan-san from
    Itou's men will require
[11:35] ---
    a very large headquarters.
[11:44] Default
    Six months later, the Shinsengumi
[11:47] ---
    forcibly relocates to
    Nishi Hongwanji Temple,
[11:50] Default
    which had been cooperative
    with the Choshu clan.
[11:56] Default
    Sannan-san! Dinner is now ready!
[12:00] Default
    Ah. It's you, eh?
[12:02] Default
    Thank you.
[12:13] Default
    Is something the matter?
[12:15] Default
    Uh, no. Nothing at all.
[12:18] Default
    Well then.
[12:24] Default
    That day, as Sannan-san seemed
    about to lose to the medicine,
[12:28] ---
    he was close by.
SIGN    July 3, 1865
[12:34] Default
    Shortly after the headquarters moved,
[12:37] ---
    Heisuke-kun returned from Edo.
[12:41] Default
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
[12:43] ---
    Since I've patrolled
    with you, Heisuke-kun.
[12:45] Default
    Yeah...
[12:47] Default
    You didn't get bullied
    by Shinpatsu or Sano-san
[12:50] ---
    while I was gone?
[12:51] Default
    No.
[12:52] Default
    They were very watchful while
    we were out on patrol,
[12:55] ---
    though there's still
    no sign of my father.
[12:58] Default
    Well, cheer up!
[13:00] Default
    We might end up running right into him.
[13:03] Default
    O-Okay!
[13:07] Default
    Heisuke-kun? What is it?
[13:11] Default
    I haven't seen this town
    or the people for a while,
[13:14] ---
    and I feel like they've changed.
[13:18] Default
    Heisuke-kun?
[13:20] Default
    Uh, nothing!
[13:25] Default
    Souji!
[13:30] Default
    How're things for you?
[13:31] Default
    Well, same as always.
[13:35] Default
    But I think things will get busy when
[13:38] ---
    the shogun comes to visit.
[13:39] Default
    Visit?
[13:41] ---
    The shogun's coming here to the capital?
[13:44] Default
    Yup. That's why even
    Kondou-san's on edge.
[13:48] Default
    Yeah. That he certainly is...
[13:55] Default
    Okita-san!
[13:57] Default
    Are you all right?
[14:02] Default
    Hey, little girl!
[14:03] ---
    Who do you think you are to refuse?
[14:05] Default
    We're out every day
[14:07] ---
    for the people, talkin'
    about nationalism,
[14:09] Default
    so pourin' us patriots a cup
[14:11] ---
    or two of liquor is the
    least you can do, right?
[14:14] Default
    Stop it!
[14:15] Default
    Let go!
[14:18] Default
    Come with us!
[14:19] Default
    No, stop it!
[14:21] Default
    Oh, jeez. The word
    "nationalism" is wasted
[14:24] ---
    bein' used by the likes of you.
[14:27] Default
    What?!
[14:30] Default
    A pale-blue overcoat?
[14:32] Default
    They're the Shinsengumi?
[14:35] Default
    If you know of us,
    that'll save some time.
[14:38] ---
    What will you do?
[14:40] Default
    Dammit! I'll drink somewhere else!
[14:44] Default
    What will YOU do?
[14:46] Default
    I'll remember this!
[14:54] Default
    Thank you very much.
[14:56] ---
    I am Kaoru Nagumo.
[15:04] Default
    Trust me.
[15:06] Default
    Sure enough...
[15:09] Default
    You look alike, don't you?
[15:10] Default
    Really? I don't think
    they're alike at all.
[15:14] Default
    No, they are.
[15:19] Default
    I think if this kid
    dressed up like a girl,
[15:21] ---
    you'd be dead ringers.
[15:23] Default
    U-Um...
[15:25] Default
    I wish to give you a
    more proper thanks,
[15:28] ---
    but I have other obligations just now.
[15:30] Default
    Please pardon my rudeness.
[15:35] Default
    I shall repay you some other time,
[15:37] ---
    Souji Okita-san of the Shinsengumi.
[15:42] Default
    Whoa, nice! Souji, it looks
    like she likes you, right?
[15:46] Default
    If that's how that looked
    to you just now, Heisuke,
[15:49] ---
    you'll never beat Sano-san.
[15:51] Default
    Wh-What does that mean?!
[16:02] Default
    Kaoru-san, huh?
[16:05] Default
    Chizuru! We're goin' back!
[16:08] Default
    Okay!
[16:20] Default
    I think you've all heard that the
[16:22] ---
    14th Shogun, Iemochi Tokugawa,
[16:25] ---
    will be visiting the capital.
[16:27] Default
    In accordance with his visit,
[16:29] ---
    we Shinsengumi have
    received orders that,
[16:31] Default
    until he reaches Nijo
    Castle, we are to do
[16:33] ---
    our utmost to provide
    him with protection.
[16:41] Default
    Given the Ikedaya Inn Incident
    and the Kinmon Rebellion,
[16:44] Default
    sure enough, even the higher-ups
[16:46] ---
    have had to acknowledge
    our accomplishments.
[16:49] Default
    To think, in protecting him,
[16:51] ---
    the fate of the country
    lies with our blades.
[16:55] Default
    Yes!
[16:56] Default
    Protecting him here in the capital...
[16:59] ---
    If only Sannan-san were alive.
[17:01] Default
    We've lost someone dear, haven't we?
[17:06] Default
    Thus, things will be
    getting busy for us.
[17:08] Default
    First, we'll have to think of
    how we'll form our regiments.
[17:12] Default
    Well then... Toshi and I... Souji...
[17:15] Default
    My apologies.
[17:16] ---
    Kondou-san, could you let
    Souji off this time?
[17:20] ---
    He seems like he's catching a cold.
[17:23] Default
    Is that so, Souji? You okay?
[17:25] Default
    Personally, I think it's not a problem.
[17:29] Default
    Hijikata-san is overreacting.
[17:31] Default
    Yes, it is a problem!
[17:33] Default
    You were just coughing earlier.
[17:35] Default
    Oh, jeez. Hijikata-san,
    you're far too protective.
[17:40] Default
    What is it, Heisuke?
[17:42] Default
    Uh, Kondou-san...
[17:43] ---
    The truth is, I'm not
    feelin' well, either.
[17:46] Default
    What? Heisuke, you have a cold, too?
[17:48] Default
    An occasion like this,
[17:49] ---
    I wanted us all to go
    greet the shogun together.
[17:52] Default
    Um, sorry.
[17:55] Default
    Heisuke-kun...
[17:56] Default
    No, your health takes precedence.
[17:58] Default
    There will be another chance.
[18:00] Default
    When it comes, I want
    you two to do your best.
[18:07] Default
    So, what will YOU do?
[18:09] Default
    Sir?
[18:10] Default
    Don't act the fool.
[18:12] ---
    I'm asking if you'll
    act in his protection.
[18:15] Default
    M-Me, too?
[18:18] Default
    We don't mind, of course.
[18:20] Default
    It's no exaggeration
    to say you've become
[18:22] ---
    a member of the Shinsengumi,
    Yukimura-kun.
[18:24] Default
    If you don’t mind,
    be sure to participate.
[18:26] Default
    But...
[18:28] Default
    Well, there'll be no
    worry about your life.
[18:31] Default
    There aren't that many ne'er-do-wells
[18:33] ---
    who'd go after the shogun.
[18:35] Default
    Why not go, just give it a try?
[18:38] Default
    Okay! If there's any way I can help,
[18:40] ---
    please let me do so.
SIGN    Note: Corresponds to about 10 pm. This is an old way of telling time.
[18:58] Default
    Next shift watchmen, take the
    Hour of the Boar, please!
[19:02] Default
    Third Division, please
    head for the inner garden.
[19:23] Default
    I wonder if Kondou-san and the others
[19:25] ---
    are greeting the higher-ups right now...
[19:33] Default
    I have to work at MY job, too.
[19:39] Default
    This feeling...
[19:49] Default
    It's you all!
[19:52] Default
    You noticed, huh?
[19:54] Default
    It seems you're not
    that dense after all.
[19:57] Default
    Wh-Why are you here? And how?!
[20:00] Default
    Huh? That wouldn't make sense if there
[20:03] ---
    was anythin' people could make
[20:05] Default
    to keep out us band of devils.
[20:07] Default
    "Devils"? A-Are you having fun with me?
[20:11] Default
    You don't know about devils?
[20:13] Default
    Are you honestly saying that?
[20:15] Default
    You are one of us, Chizuru Yukimura.
[20:20] Default
    How do you know my name?
[20:22] Default
    Your wounds heal so fast, how could we
[20:25] ---
    think you a normal human?
[20:33] Default
    Well, in that case...
[20:35] Default
    wouldn't it be faster just to prove it?
[20:39] Default
    Stop it, Shiranui.
[20:43] Default
    You can accept it or deny it,
[20:46] ---
    but our actions will not change.
[20:49] Default
    I will keep this brief:
[20:51] Default
    The surname that proves you're a devil,
[20:52] ---
    the short sword of the
    Devil of the East...
[20:54] Default
    Those alone are proof enough.
[20:58] Default
    Surname?
[20:59] ---
    What does the name "Yukimura"
    have to do with it?
[21:02] Default
    And what about my short sword?
[21:04] Default
    I'll say this in advance:
[21:05] ---
    We don't need your permission
    to take you with us.
[21:14] Default
    Female devils are precious.
[21:16] ---
    Come with us.
[23:03] Default
    Whaddya think?
[23:05] ---
    This body of mine was
    forged and forged again
[23:07] ---
    through the sword arts!
[23:08] Default
    Shinpachi!
[23:10] ---
    There are others behind
    you, so hurry and move on!
[23:14] Default
    Next time
     The Fetters of Fate
[23:16] ---
