[00:05] Default
    Step right up, step right up!
[00:06] Default
    Ah, dammit!
[00:08] Default
    Recently, Hijikata-san has gotten
[00:10] ---
    even more ornery than usual.
[00:13] Default
    If you try to go out, he's,
[00:15] ---
    "Where are you going? Why?"
    A million questions! Right?
[00:18] Default
    Well, that just means Hijikata-san
[00:21] ---
    has things on his mind.
[00:23] Default
    Then he should talk that way to
    Itou-san and the others, too.
[00:27] Default
    The way don't say a WORD to
    them really ticks me off!
[00:31] Default
    Thank you very much for the other day.
[00:38] Default
    Hey, Saito. This a friend of yours?
[00:40] Default
    Not someone I could quite
    call a "friend," but...
[00:43] Default
    You helped me the other day
    across the street, didn't you?
[00:48] Default
    Well...
[00:51] Default
    To be more precise, it was Chizuru-chan.
[00:53] Default
    Is Chizuru-chan doing well?
[00:55] Default
    Chizuru-chan?
[01:01] Default
    Actually, she doesn't seem
    her usual self recently.
[01:04] Default
    Yeah. A lot has happened...
[02:44] Default
    Chizuru, we have Kodo on our side.
[02:48] Default
    You know what that means, yes?
[02:51] Default
    If my father really is with
    the anti-foreign faction,
[02:56] ---
    it means he's the Shisengumi's enemy.
[03:01] Default
    Welcome back.
[03:04] Default
    Chizuru, you know Miss Sen, don't you?
[03:07] Default
    Huh? Uh, yes...
[03:10] Default
    She said she's got
    something to tell you.
[03:13] ---
    
[03:20] Default
    Chizuru-chan, eat up.
[03:23] Default
    The dango here is quite delicious.
[03:29] Default
    You're right. It's delicious!
[03:32] Default
    Right? I'm glad.
[03:35] Default
    I've been thinking about you since then.
[03:40] Default
    It must be rough, being a woman
[03:42] ---
    in a male troop, I thought.
[03:45] Default
    It didn't feel like the
    first time I'd met you.
[03:48] Default
    I couldn't just leave you be.
[03:50] Default
    Still, I guess I'm just being nosy.
[03:53] Default
    Thank you. That's all right.
[03:57] Default
    Oh, but Sen-chan,
[03:59] ---
    how could you know right off
    the bat that I was a girl?
[04:02] Default
    Of course I could. We're both girls.
[04:06] Default
    Oh, yeah...
[04:12] Default
    Chizuru-chan, where were you born?
[04:14] Default
    Um, in Edo.
[04:16] Default
    Huh. Any siblings?
[04:18] Default
    No...
[04:20] Default
    You're an only child.
[04:21] ---
    The same as me.
[04:25] Default
    Come to think of it,
    it's been a while since
[04:27] ---
    I've talked to a girl like this.
[04:39] Default
    People don't speak well of
    the Shinsengumi in Kyoto,
[04:43] ---
    but some of them are good people.
[04:45] Default
    He told me, "She's been down recently,
[04:48] ---
    so have a lively talk with
    her, make her feel better."
[04:53] Default
    Huh? Harada-san did?
[04:54] Default
    Ah! I promised to keep it a secret...
[05:01] Default
    Well, I'll be going now.
[05:04] Default
    Thank you, Sen-chan.
    It was a lot of fun.
[05:08] Default
    For me, too.
[05:10] ---
    Next time, let's go somewhere
    that has delicious manju.
[05:13] Default
    Okay!
[05:16] Default
    And you as well, sir. See you!
[05:26] Default
    Harada-san... Thank you very much.
[05:29] Default
    Um, have I been that gloomy?
[05:32] Default
    Huh? Oh, jeez. That girl told you, huh?
[05:38] Default
    I'm sorry...
[05:39] Default
    Not at all. But good thing, huh?
[05:42] Default
    You look happy that you
    got to eat some dango.
[05:45] Default
    Huh?! No, that's not--
[05:48] Default
    Well, "Good fortune visits
    happy households," right?
[05:52] Default
    Yes!
[05:58] Default
    Here.
[05:59] Default
    Thank you.
[06:00] Default
    I'm sleepy!
[06:01] Default
    Fooood!
[06:03] Default
    Good morning!
[06:11] Default
    Where's Heisuke?
[06:13] Default
    Ain't he still asleep?
[06:15] Default
    Yukimura-kun, I'm sorry, but
    could you go wake Heisuke?
[06:19] Default
    Ah. Okay.
[06:25] Default
    Heisuke-kun, are you awake?
[06:28] Default
    Heisuke-kun, I'm coming in.
[06:39] Default
    If you don't hurry and get up,
    there'll be no breakfast left!
[06:43] Default
    Yeah, yeah, fine.
[06:47] Default
    Chizuru, you're in good spirits, huh?
[06:50] Default
    Yes!
[07:02] Default
    That'll do it!
[07:04] Default
    Finished?
[07:06] Default
    Okita-san, what are you
    doing out dressed like that?
[07:10] Default
    I got sweaty while I was sleeping.
[07:13] Default
    I took a quick bath and have
    been drying in the sun.
[07:16] Default
    No matter how good the weather is,
[07:18] ---
    with your hair wet like
    that, you'll catch a cold!
[07:21] Default
    It's all right. Don't worry.
[07:24] Default
    It's not all right at all.
[07:25] Default
    Please take better care of yourself.
[07:29] Default
    You're unexpectedly nagging,
    with a weird sense of worry.
[07:34] ---
    You're like Hijikata-san.
[07:37] Default
    I told you, you have to
    properly dry yourself first!
[07:42] Default
    Chizuru-chan!
[07:44] ---
    Why do you have to be so forceful?
[07:46] Default
    Just because.
[07:52] Default
    You can stop. That's dry enough.
[07:58] Default
    I...
[07:59] Default
    There's something I want to ask you.
[08:03] Default
    Truthfully... What do
    you think of my hair?
[08:09] Default
    I think it suits you.
[08:11] Default
    Oh, yeah? I'm glad. Thank you.
[08:15] Default
    The truth is, I was trying
    to copy Kondou-san with this.
[08:18] Default
    True enough, the style is the same.
[08:22] Default
    You can't tell anyone else.
[08:25] Default
    Okay.
[08:31] Default
    You've come back awfully late
[08:33] ---
    for not having been on patrol.
[08:36] Default
    I believe I told you long ago that
[08:39] ---
    breaking curfew is cause for seppuku.
[08:42] Default
    I was the one who forced 'em to go.
[08:44] Default
    They're not responsible at all.
[08:47] Default
    Tell me to do seppuku and I'll do it!
[08:52] Default
    Shinpachi, you're not
    the one to decide that.
[08:56] Default
    Regardless of who made whom go,
[08:57] ---
    the fact is that ALL of you
    broke the squad's rules.
[09:01] Default
    Please wait, Hijikata-san.
[09:03] Default
    The two of us were bad, too.
[09:04] Default
    If we'd said "Let's go" earlier, we--
[09:06] Default
    You fools go to your rooms.
[09:08] Default
    I'll give further instructions later.
[09:14] Default
    S-Sanou-san! Is this okay?
[09:17] Default
    Let's go! Chizuru, you come, too.
[09:21] Default
    Okay.
[09:25] Default
    Well, what'll it be?
[09:27] ---
    I've come too far to
    be afraid of death now.
[09:29] Default
    If you're gonna say it,
    just go and say it.
[09:35] Default
    You're unhappy with how
    I've done things, yes?
[09:38] Default
    This is how you've always
    acted in times like that.
[09:43] Default
    It's like...
[09:45] ---
    Recently, you've been
    kind to the new members,
[09:48] Default
    but way too hard on us guys that've
[09:50] ---
    been around longest, haven't ya?
[09:54] Default
    Sure, we're clever talkers and
[09:57] ---
    don't have friends in high places.
[09:59] Default
    But the Shinsengumi only
    got this big because
[10:03] ---
    WE fought, ready to die for it, right?!
[10:14] Default
    I'm sorry.
[10:18] Default
    There are those who've said
[10:20] ---
    I've treated you all too fondly.
[10:23] Default
    That I only give the
    veterans important posts,
[10:26] Default
    that I favor them,
    give them special pay.
[10:29] Default
    Garbage like that.
[10:32] Default
    However, it was wrong
    of me to go so far,
[10:34] ---
    nagging you about this and that.
[10:38] Default
    Jeez. I swear, I'm no match for you.
[10:42] Default
    I'm sorry, too.
[10:45] Default
    Let's go drinkin' again soon.
[10:47] Default
    I'll find some weak saké that even YOU
[10:50] ---
    can drink, Hijikata-san.
[10:52] Default
    You've got it all wrong.
[10:54] Default
    It's not that I can't
    drink; I just DON'T drink.
[11:10] Default
    Th-The shogun!
[11:15] Default
    Lord Iemochi is dead?!
[11:19] Default
    Shortly thereafter, the
    conquest of Choshu,
[11:21] ---
    which had begun with
    the Kinmon Rebellion,
[11:24] Default
    brought about the shocking conclusion
[11:26] ---
    that was the Bakufu Army's great defeat.
[11:30] Default
    It was the instant that the
[11:32] ---
    great tree which stood unshaken for
[11:34] ---
    260 years had begun to creak.
[11:36] ---
    
[11:41] Default
    September, 1866.
[11:43] Default
    A notice board at the
    Sanjo Bridge proclaiming
[11:45] Default
    "The Choshu Domain is the
    enemy" was pulled up,
[11:48] Default
    and the Shinsengumi was ordered
    to protect the boards.
[11:58] Default
    Oh, welcome back.
[11:59] Default
    Yeah. How'd it go?
[12:03] Default
    I'm so tired, I can't stand it.
[12:05] Default
    I don't mind crossin' swords
    with those Choshu guys, but...
[12:08] Default
    I just can't get worked up about
    protectin' a notice board.
[12:11] Default
    Now that the entire Bakufu army
[12:14] ---
    has lost to the Choshu Domain,
[12:16] Default
    I don't think having killed some
[12:19] ---
    rogue samurai will change anything.
[12:22] Default
    Itou-san, you have a complaint with the
[12:25] ---
    duties of the Shinsengumi?
[12:26] Default
    Heavens, no.
[12:28] ---
    Protecting a sign board is an
[12:29] ---
    important duty in and of itself.
[12:32] Default
    Well, please do your best.
[12:38] Default
    Damn. He's a creepy dude, as always.
[12:42] Default
    I often see him getting
    his pals together,
[12:44] ---
    whispering about this and that.
[12:46] Default
    Who knows what he's up
    to behind the scenes.
[12:49] Default
    Just what was Kondou-san thinking when
[12:52] ---
    he recruited a guy like that?
[12:54] Default
    Harada-san.
[12:56] Default
    Oh. Time's up, huh?
[13:00] Default
    Please take care, Harada-san.
[13:04] Default
    Yeah.
[13:30] Default
    Who are you?
[13:39] Default
    Fall back, fall back!
[13:44] Default
    Wait there!
[13:54] Default
    Chizuru...
[14:02] Default
    Sano, you've really done us a service!
[14:05] Default
    I never thought you'd
[14:07] ---
    use the reward money to treat us all.
[14:10] Default
    Shinpachi-san, if you
    want to praise him,
[14:12] ---
    you should mention that he
    protected the sign board.
[14:16] Default
    Yeah, of course. Oh!
[14:19] Default
    Well, Sano's paying for tonight!
[14:22] Default
    Drink all you like, and sweep
    away the gloom of the day!
[14:26] Default
    Bastard, this is MY money!
[14:28] Default
    Sano-san, thank you!
[14:30] ---
    I'll be sure to drink my fill!
[14:33] Default
    It's not like all of us
    can drink saké, though.
[14:36] Default
    Enough of that talk.
[14:37] ---
    Eat whatever food you want.
[14:39] Default
    Yeah! Yeah!
[14:42] Default
    You're one of us now, so
    don't hold back on ceremony.
[14:44] Default
    Uh, okay.
[14:59] Default
    Greetings to you all.
[15:02] Default
    I shall be accompanying you
    gentlemen this evening.
[15:05] Default
    My name is Kimigiku.
[15:10] Default
    I hope you have a pleasant time.
[15:14] Default
    So pretty!
[15:21] Default
    This high-end saké sure is great!
[15:24] Default
    It hits the throat like, BAM. BAM!
[15:27] Default
    Heisuke. You've only been
    drinking, and not eating.
[15:30] ---
    You'll get drunk.
[15:32] Default
    It's fine for today!
[15:33] Default
    Chizuru!
[15:34] Default
    You ain't drinkin', huh?
[15:36] Default
    How you gonna get drunk?!
[15:38] Default
    Um, I can't drink, so...
[15:40] Default
    Then eat till you're stuffed!
[15:44] Default
    I've heard you're like a devil,
[15:46] ---
    Hijikata-san of the Shinsengumi,
[15:49] Default
    but it would seem an act,
    as you're such a good man.
[15:54] Default
    I hear that often.
[15:57] Default
    Hijikata-san's already drunk, huh?
[15:59] Default
    That was fast! He never
    could hold his liquor.
[16:03] Default
    He can't hold it!
[16:05] Default
    I wonder if that's the "Beautiful
    man, beautiful woman" ideal.
[16:09] Default
    It's like something from a picture.
[16:13] Default
    As a fellow girl, I
    feel lacking somehow...
[16:17] Default
    Still, if we can get this kind of money
[16:19] ---
    from protecting a sign board,
[16:21] Default
    who knows how much
[16:22] ---
    we can get if we catch ALL the culprits!
[16:25] Default
    Yeah, you said it.
[16:26] Default
    Hey, Sano.
[16:28] Default
    Why'd you let them go?
[16:30] Default
    If there were eight of them,
[16:32] ---
    you should've been able
    to figure something out.
[16:34] Default
    Yeah. I thought that was weird, too.
[16:36] Default
    At least some of 'em got caught, right?
[16:42] Default
    Chizuru.
[16:43] Default
    Did you go out that night?
[16:47] Default
    Huh? No.
[16:49] Default
    Truthfully?
[16:51] Default
    Yes. I'm always at
    headquarters at night.
[16:55] Default
    Hey, what's up, Sano?
[16:57] Default
    It's just, when we went up
    against the Tosa soldiers,
[17:01] Default
    someone who looked just
    like Chizuru was there.
[17:05] Default
    And then our cordon fell apart...
[17:07] Default
    It can't be!
[17:09] Default
    Hey, could that be the
[17:11] ---
    girl you, Heisuke and I
    met out on patrol before?
[17:17] Default
    She said her name was
    Kaoru Nagumo, right?
[17:20] Default
    She really did look like you, huh?
[17:24] Default
    But that's not enough to...
[17:27] Default
    I didn't really think so, but...
[17:29] Default
    After all, the other one
    was dressed like a girl.
[17:32] Default
    Then we should have Chizuru
    dress in a girl's kimono.
[17:39] Default
    Chizuru!
[17:41] Default
    Oh, yeah! That's a good idea!
[17:43] Default
    Hey, Miss Kimigiku!
[17:44] ---
    Would you dress this one
    in a girl's kimono for us?
[17:49] Default
    You all--
[17:51] Default
    Very well. I shall do my utmost.
[18:01] Default
    Everyone. My apologies for the wait.
[18:17] Default
    H-Huh? That you, Chizuru?!
[18:20] Default
    Y-Yes.
[18:22] Default
    Well. Talk about a change.
[18:24] Default
    For a second, I didn't know who it was.
[18:27] Default
    Well? What do you think, Sano?
[18:32] Default
    Well, I don't know.
[18:34] ---
    Chizuru's so pretty that
    I can't tell anymore.
[18:37] Default
    Huh?!
[18:39] Default
    You said it! Chizuru's pretty, huh?!
[18:41] Default
    Yeah! She's quite the looker!
[18:44] Default
    Huh? Shinpachi-san,
    fallen under her spell?
[18:47] Default
    Idiot, don't make me blush!
[18:50] Default
    Please, stop it!
[18:53] Default
    Hey, Shinpatsu! Why do you
    gotta say such weird stuff?!
[18:56] Default
    Sorry, sorry.
[19:07] Default
    I'm sorry!
[19:08] Default
    You don't have to run off, do you?
[19:10] Default
    Huh?
[19:12] Default
    Sir.
[19:15] Default
    The woman that Harada saw...
[19:19] Default
    You don't gotta worry about her.
[19:22] Default
    Those who oppose us always
    get what's coming to them.
[19:27] Default
    Sir. Thank you very much.
[19:30] Default
    All right, Sano-san! Do
    that thing you always do!
[19:32] Default
    Yeah, yeah!
[19:34] ---
    Until you do, it doesn't feel
    like we're drinkin' with ya!
[19:36] Default
    This takes me back.
[19:37] Default
    All right, fine. Guess I'll have to.
[19:39] Default
    I was still in Edo, running
    a hole-in-the-wall dojo,
[19:43] Default
    and every night we'd go
    out drinking till late.
[19:47] Default
    Sir...
[19:49] Default
    Back then, we had little
    money or pupils, but...
[19:54] Default
    It was pleasant.
[19:56] Default
    So even YOU have a past
    like that, Hijikata-san.
[19:59] Default
    What does that mean?
[20:01] Default
    Don't tell me you think
    I've always focused solely
[20:04] ---
    on hunting down rogue
    samurai, as I am now.
[20:08] Default
    Um, no, not at all...
[20:12] Default
    I think that myself, sometimes.
[20:15] Default
    I used to carry a medicine
    box and peddle wares,
[20:18] ---
    but to think that now I wear a sword,
[20:20] Default
    work in the employ of the Bakufu...
[20:24] Default
    Sometimes I think...
[20:26] ---
    I've just been having
    a long, happy dream.
[20:36] Default
    Oh, sorry to intrude.
[20:39] Default
    Hey, Hijikata-san, Sano's
    stomach show is about to begin.
[20:43] Default
    Chizuru, you hurry up and come, too!
[20:45] Default
    Honestly. You guys don't quit, do you?
[21:07] Default
    That was awesome!
[21:20] Default
    Kazama and the others
    have returned to Kyoto?
[21:25] Default
    It seems the storm shall soon begin.
[23:01] Default
    A Guardian of the Imperial Tomb?
[23:02] Default
    Indeed.
[23:03] Default
    Upon departing, I, Itou,
[23:05] ---
    shall assume guardianship
    of Emperor Komei's tomb.
[23:09] Default
    Gimme a break!
[23:10] Default
    How could we forgive such selfishness?!
[23:12] Default
