**[00:08] Default**
I'll say this in advance:
**[00:09] ---**
We don't need your permission
to take you with us.
**[00:13] Default**
Female devils are precious.
**[00:15] ---**
Come with us.
**[01:53] Default**
Now, now. Having a lovers'
date in an unromantic
**[01:56] ---**
place like this is a bad choice.
**[01:58] Default**
You all again, eh?
**[02:00] ---**
It seems you countryside dogs are
quick-witted, if nothing else.
**[02:04] Default**
That would be MY line.
**[02:06] Default**
Harada-san! Saitou-san!
**[02:09] Default**
Fall back.
**[02:11] Default**
I thought you'd come after
the head of the shogun.
**[02:14] Default**
Just what do you want
with this youngster?
**[02:17] Default**
The shogun and you fools are
no longer of importance.
**[02:20] Default**
This is a problem for us devils.
**[02:24] Default**
Devils, you say?
**[02:26] Default**
Would you mind simply leaving?
**[02:28] ---**
As with the time at Kinmon,
**[02:30] ---**
we have no reason to fight you.
**[02:32] Default**
Unfortunately, I have a
reason to fight with YOU.
**[02:37] Default**
It can't be helped...
**[02:44] Default**
I haven't seen your ugly mug
since the Kinmon Rebellion.
**[02:47] Default**
My gun versus your spear.
**[02:50] ---**
At this range, can you not
see which is more effective?
**[02:53] Default**
"Shiranui," was it?
**[02:55] ---**
Don't go puttin' on airs
and dropping your guard!
**[03:00] Default**
You ain't reaching me.
**[03:07] Default**
Why don't you shoot?
**[03:09] Default**
Usin' bullets on someone who's heard
**[03:12] ---**
a gunshot before is no fun.
**[03:24] Default**
There's no need for that.
**[03:25] Default**
Yamazaki-san!
**[03:26] Default**
Come back to headquarters with me.
**[03:29] Default**
You country fools, playing at warriors!
**[03:34] Default**
What business do you bastards
have with this kid?!
**[03:37] Default**
Chizuru is far too much for you.
**[03:41] Default**
So we're taking her with us.
**[03:44] ---**
That's all.
**[03:47] Default**
What does that mean?!
**[04:02] Default**
Well...
**[04:05] Default**
Fighting any more than
this serves no purpose.
**[04:07] Default**
Drawing things out will attract
attention, which is not good.
**[04:11] Default**
Now that we have confirmation,
we can leave.
**[04:16] Default**
You think we'll simply let you flee?
**[04:22] Default**
We'll be back for you
in the near future.
**[04:26] Default**
Just wait for us.
**[04:35] Default**
Chizuru! Are you all right?
**[04:39] Default**
Hey, girl.
**[04:40] ---**
Can you think of why
they might be after you?
**[04:45] Default**
No, I... I don't get it.
**[04:53] Default**
Episode 7
The Fetters of Fate
**[05:05] Default**
What did that mean?
**[05:07] Default**
You don't know about devils?
**[05:09] Default**
Are you honestly saying that?
**[05:12] Default**
You are one of us, Chizuru Yukimura.
**[05:18] Default**
Devils, he said. Just what...?
**[05:30] Default**
Okita-san...
**[05:39] Default**
Blood!
**[05:48] Default**
Stop this! It's disgraceful!
**[05:50] Default**
Huh? The hell's your problem?
**[05:53] Default**
You got somethin' to say to
us pro-Imperialist patriots?
**[05:56] Default**
You all are the worst!
**[05:58] Default**
Bitch, what'd you just say?!
**[06:01] ---**
Try sayin' that again!
**[06:03] Default**
You all!
**[06:05] Default**
The hell do YOU want?
**[06:06] Default**
Why would you be violent
toward women and children?
**[06:10] Default**
A samurai's job is to protect
the townspeople isn't it?
**[06:12] Default**
What'd you say?!
**[06:13] Default**
Dammit!
**[06:19] Default**
Fear not. I used the back of my blade.
**[06:23] Default**
Don't be reckless.
**[06:25] Default**
I'm sorry. Before I knew it, I'd...
**[06:28] Default**
That's right.
**[06:29] Default**
I could've handled that on my own.
**[06:33] Default**
I'm sorry.
**[06:35] Default**
You're a brave one, aren't you?
**[06:37] Default**
To challenge those rogue samurai.
**[06:39] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:40] Default**
Oh, no! We were saved
thanks to Saito-san.
**[06:44] Default**
You don't have to be modest.
**[06:47] Default**
I think this happened for a reason.
**[06:49] Default**
Let's be friends. Two female friends.
**[06:52] Default**
Huh?
**[06:53] Default**
Oh, was it a secret?
**[06:57] Default**
By the way, what's your name?
**[07:00] Default**
It's Chizuru Yukimura.
**[07:04] Default**
Nice to meet you, Chizuru-chan.
**[07:06] Default**
My name is Sen.
**[07:09] Default**
"Sen." Sen-chan.
**[07:11] Default**
Yup! Well, let's meet
again, Chizuru-chan.
**[07:20] Default**
Um, is my male disguise that obvious?
**[07:30] Default**
Maybe.
**[07:32] Default**
What does that mean?
**[07:34] ---**
Um, Saito-san!
**[07:45] Default**
It's no laughing matter! Honestly!
**[07:47] Default**
Itou-san?
**[07:49] Default**
Is something the matter?
**[07:50] Default**
Of course something is the matter!
**[07:53] Default**
As part of the troops' health
inspection, that Dr. Matsumoto
**[07:56] ---**
tried to forcibly disrobe me!
**[07:59] Default**
Matsumoto...?
**[08:03] Default**
You mean, Ryojun Matsumoto-sensei?
**[08:06] Default**
That may have been the name.
**[08:07] Default**
I'll go have a health inspection, too!
**[08:10] Default**
Hey, wait! You...!
**[08:28] Default**
Open it wider.
**[08:34] Default**
Matsumoto-sensei?
**[08:35] Default**
All right, next!
**[08:37] Default**
Yeah! If you please, Doc!
**[08:41] Default**
Whaddya think?
**[08:42] ---**
This body of mine was forged
**[08:44] ---**
and forged again through the sword arts!
**[08:46] Default**
Yeah, Shinpatsu's body
is strong and tough.
**[08:49] Default**
It's his HEAD that needs lookin' at.
**[08:51] Default**
Huh? Talk like that and
I'll strangle ya, Heisuke!
**[09:00] Default**
Shinpachi Nagakura is...
Okay, no problem. Next.
**[09:04] Default**
Hey, Doc! You gotta
give me a better look!
**[09:08] Default**
No, not all. You're
the picture of health.
**[09:10] Default**
Shinpachi! There are others behind
you, so hurry and move on!
**[09:14] Default**
That ain't what I mean!
**[09:16] ---**
There are other places
you can check out, right?
**[09:18] Default**
These checkups are for
him to look at us,
**[09:20] ---**
not for you to show off.
**[09:22] ---**
Hurry up and move.
**[09:42] Default**
Matsumoto-sensei, how
did the checkups go?
**[09:47] Default**
If you add up the sick and wounded,
**[09:49] ---**
it's almost a third of
the troops, isn't it?
**[09:52] Default**
What's that?!
**[09:54] Default**
Don't "What's that?!" me, Kondou-san!
**[09:57] Default**
What have you all been doing?!
**[09:59] Default**
From scratches to loose bowers!
**[10:02] Default**
Your HQ is a den of illness, I say!
**[10:04] Default**
A den of illness?
**[10:06] Default**
First, prepare a sick room
and carry your ill there.
**[10:10] ---**
And disinfect all your clothes!
**[10:12] Default**
Get this headquarters clean, now!
**[10:15] Default**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:18] Default**
Today, we shall spend the day
performing a major cleaning!
**[10:56] Default**
Heisuke-kun.
**[10:59] Default**
Are you not feeling well yet?
**[11:02] Default**
Uh, nah, the truth is, I never felt bad.
**[11:07] Default**
I just... didn't wanna
protect the shogun.
**[11:13] Default**
The Shinsengumi's original goal
was to keep the peace in Kyoto.
**[11:18] Default**
But suddenly, it's like we're
the Bakufu's retainers...
**[11:22] Default**
I couldn't get excited about it.
**[11:25] Default**
"What is it I wanted to do?"
**[11:29] Default**
I've been thinkin' about that...
**[11:33] Default**
So that's it...
**[11:35] Default**
Ah! But you don't gotta worry!
**[11:39] Default**
No matter what guys come attack us,
**[11:41] ---**
as long as I'm here,
**[11:43] Default**
I won't let 'em lay a finger on ya.
**[11:47] Default**
Thank you.
**[11:54] Default**
Matsumoto-sensei.
**[11:57] Default**
Chizuru-kun, at last we meet.
**[12:00] Default**
I'm grateful to Kondou-san.
**[12:02] Default**
I was aware that Matsumoto-sensei
and Kodo-san
**[12:05] ---**
were on friendly terms.
**[12:07] Default**
I thought we might turn up a clue...
**[12:10] Default**
Thank you both for your consideration.
**[12:14] Default**
I received word, but I never learned
**[12:17] ---**
what's most important, your location.
**[12:20] Default**
There was no way for me to contact you.
**[12:23] Default**
Oh, is that so?
**[12:26] Default**
Incidentally, Matsumoto-sensei,
my father...
**[12:29] Default**
Unfortunately, I don't know
Kodo-san's location, either.
**[12:35] Default**
Oh, I see...
**[12:39] Default**
Matsumoto-sensei, please tell me!
**[12:42] Default**
My father...
**[12:43] ---**
Did my father really
research that medicine?
**[12:51] Default**
Your being here brought you in
proximity of the medicine, didn't it?
**[12:58] Default**
What Kodo-san undertook
with the Shinsengumi was...
**[13:02] Default**
An experiment, by the Bakufu's
orders, to create furies.
**[13:07] Default**
"Furies" referred to
humans with superhuman
**[13:10] ---**
powers and unbelievable
healing abilities.
**[13:15] Default**
Furies...
**[13:16] Default**
The medicine that brought
forth the furies
**[13:19] ---**
is the Water of Life.
***SIGN*** Water of Life
**[13:21] Default**
In the West, it's called the Elixir;
**[13:23] Default**
in China, it's xian fan.
***SIGN*** Xian Fan
**[13:28] Default**
The Water of Life...
**[13:30] Default**
Taking it greatly increases
your strength,
**[13:33] ---**
and wounds become very quick to heal.
**[13:36] Default**
But it brings with it such suffering
that you can lose yourself.
**[13:41] Default**
You've learned that much?
**[13:44] Default**
Why... Why would my
father research that?
**[13:50] Default**
Regardless of Kodo-san's own feelings,
**[13:53] ---**
he had to obey the Bakufu's orders.
**[13:56] Default**
But as a result, Kodo-san left here.
**[14:01] Default**
I believe it was his conscience
that led him to that decision.
**[14:07] Default**
Please, have faith.
**[14:09] Default**
Your father is a man worthy of respect.
**[14:15] Default**
Okay...
**[14:17] Default**
Incidentally, sir...
**[14:19] Default**
There's something I wish to tell you.
**[14:22] Default**
Sannan-kun? You're alive?
**[14:25] Default**
Yes. My apologies for
the worry I've caused,
**[14:29] Default**
but I've been here, continuing
research on the medicine.
**[14:33] Default**
Meaning, you've succeeded?
**[14:36] Default**
As you can see. I am proof of such.
**[14:40] Default**
But given that you
can't be out in public,
**[14:44] ---**
it's not a COMPLTETE success.
**[14:46] Default**
If I continue to refine it,
it may become workable.
**[14:51] Default**
You're better off not trying.
**[14:53] ---**
It's too dangerous.
**[14:54] Default**
But researching the medicine
**[14:57] ---**
is at the order of the Bakufu.
**[14:59] Default**
That may be so, but...
**[15:16] Default**
You have no appetite,
have a slight fever,
**[15:19] ---**
and sweat profusely at night...
**[15:21] Default**
Yes.
**[15:26] Default**
Here's what I think.
**[15:28] Default**
Your illness is tuberculosis.
**[15:33] Default**
Tuberculosis!
**[15:35] Default**
Oh, jeez. That famous,
deadly illness, huh?
**[15:39] Default**
You're not surprised?
**[15:40] Default**
Being told like this to my
face, yeah, it kinda sucks.
**[15:45] Default**
This is nothing to laugh about!
**[15:47] Default**
You should leave the Shinsengumi
**[15:48] ---**
at once and begin recovery!
**[15:50] Default**
You need to rest at a
place with fresh air--
**[15:52] Default**
Leave the Shinsengumi?
**[15:54] ---**
I can't do that.
**[15:57] Default**
Whether my life is long or short,
**[16:00] ---**
there are few things I can do.
**[16:04] Default**
To stand with the Shinsengumi
and kill our enemies...
**[16:07] ---**
That's about it.
**[16:09] Default**
All the more so if I
have little time left.
**[16:12] Default**
Being here is everything to me.
**[16:15] Default**
But...
**[16:21] Default**
I accept your resolve.
**[16:24] Default**
All the more reason that you
do as I say going forward.
**[16:29] Default**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[16:31] Default**
Okay. Oh, and please don't tell
Kondou-san and the others.
**[16:36] Default**
Promise me, okay?
**[16:45] Default**
Chizuru-chan.
**[16:47] Default**
Come on out. It's okay.
**[16:51] Default**
Yes, come over here.
**[17:02] Default**
Are you taking that
talk just now to heart?
**[17:07] Default**
You wouldn't tell anyone
this silly story, would you?
**[17:14] Default**
If you plan on telling
anyone, well then...
**[17:18] Default**
I'd have to kill you.
**[17:20] Default**
Okita-san. You always say that.
**[17:25] Default**
Yeah, maybe so.
**[17:29] Default**
Okita-san.
**[17:31] Default**
I'll keep quiet about your illness.
**[17:34] Default**
I promise I won't tell anyone.
**[17:39] Default**
Thank you.
**[17:58] Default**
They've made you do
grunt work, is that it?
**[18:02] Default**
You, with the blood of devils in you,
**[18:04] ---**
doing the humans' bidding...
**[18:07] Default**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[18:10] Default**
This has gone beyond laughable
into just plain pitiful.
**[18:15] Default**
Don't get so angry.
**[18:17] ---**
I'm not here today to fight.
**[18:20] Default**
You have some relationship with Kodo?
**[18:23] Default**
He knows my father?
**[18:25] Default**
Kodo Yukimura is my father!
**[18:32] Default**
I get it.
**[18:34] Default**
You all... What is my father to--?
**[18:36] Default**
Came sneaking alone into
enemy territory, did you?
**[18:40] Default**
Sorry, but I can't overlook
such foolishness.
**[18:47] Default**
What're you doin' here
in the middle of the day?
**[18:49] Default**
It's still too early to
try chatting up a woman.
**[18:52] Default**
You better stay away from her!
**[18:55] Default**
Everyone...
**[18:59] Default**
How you roam in a pack is
just like dogs. Isn't it?
**[19:04] Default**
Now you've done it.
**[19:06] Default**
If you want me to play with
you, I can be your opponent,
**[19:08] Default**
but unfortunately I've come
here on business today.
**[19:12] Default**
Also, let me give you a warning:
**[19:15] ---**
Stop turning mere humans into devils.
**[19:18] Default**
Turn humans into devils?
**[19:20] Default**
Mind your damn business.
**[19:22] Default**
Yeah. Some sleazebag
who'd try to abduct a
**[19:25] ---**
woman in broad daylight
has no business talkin'.
**[19:29] Default**
Fools.
**[19:31] ---**
I gave you this warning
trying to show you mercy.
**[19:36] Default**
This is OUR territory!
**[19:38] ---**
Quit talkin' big and get the
hell outta here already!
**[19:42] Default**
The weakest dog does tend to bark.
**[19:45] Default**
Chizuru, we have Kodo on our side.
**[19:49] Default**
You know what that means, yes?
**[19:51] Default**
It means your father has
abandoned the Bakufu.
**[19:58] Default**
For what reason are you here?
**[20:01] Default**
You should think about that.
**[20:08] Default**
My father is with THEM?
**[20:10] Default**
He's with the anti-foreigner faction?
**[20:14] Default**
Don't make that face, Chizuru.
**[20:16] Default**
Don't go believin' anything he'd say!
**[20:19] Default**
Yes. There's no guarantee that
what he's saying is true.
**[20:22] Default**
We have inspectors out there
looking for Kodo-san as well.
**[20:26] Default**
We're sure to pick up something.
**[20:31] Default**
Yes.
**[20:36] Default**
What business did you have with them?
**[20:43] Default**
I went to confirm that girl's
relationship to Kodo.
**[20:48] Default**
Is that really the only reason?
**[20:51] Default**
What do you want to say?
**[20:53] Default**
I'm asking if perhaps you have
an interest in those humans.
**[20:58] Default**
Not interest; nothing more than pity.
**[21:02] Default**
There is no need to further
involve ourselves with humans.
**[21:07] Default**
We need only repay our
obligation to Satsuma.
***SIGN*** Fury Corps
**[21:20] Default**
I've dubbed it "the Fury Corps."
**[21:23] Default**
Please use us, for the sake
of strengthening the group.
**[23:01] Default**
She really did look like you, huh?
**[23:05] Default**
I didn't really think so, but...
**[23:07] Default**
Then we should have Chizuru
dress in a girl's kimono.
**[23:11] Default**
Huh?
**[23:13] Default**
Next time
