[00:02] Default
    Kazama and the others
    have returned to Kyoto?
[00:06] Default
    It seems the storm shall soon begin.
[00:12] Default
    Looks like everything's
    goin' in our favor.
[00:16] Default
    Soon it shall be time
    for me to make my move.
[00:21] Default
    Isn't that right?
SIGN    January, 1867
[01:54] Default
    Itou-san treated you to dinner?!
[01:57] Default
    You're way too loud, Sano!
[01:59] Default
    He was trying to recruit me.
[02:01] Default
    Recruit?
[02:02] Default
    He was like, "Aren't you dissatisfied
    with the Shinsengumi?"
[02:05] Default
    and "If the Bakufu can't expel
    the foreigners, it's finished."
[02:09] Default
    At the end of all that, he asked,
    "Won't you come with me?"
[02:12] Default
    What was your answer, Nagakura-san?
[02:15] Default
    I'd already had plenty to
    eat and drink, so I said,
[02:17] Default
    "Bein' partners with you
    all wouldn't be no fun."
[02:20] Default
    It was the same with
    you, Hajime-kun, right?
[02:28] Default
    Yes.
[02:30] Default
    If the heads of the 2nd and 3rd
    Divisions were entertained,
[02:33] Default
    why didn't he call for
    me, the head of the 1st?
[02:36] Default
    If he invited you, would
    you go with Itou-san?
[02:40] Default
    Of course.
[02:41] Default
    Huh? Okita-san!
[02:43] Default
    And maybe kill him.
[02:45] Default
    I swear!
[02:48] Default
    That doesn't sound like a joke!

    Episode 9
     Wake of the Slaughter
SIGN    March, 1867
[03:31] Default
    Who's there?
[03:34] Default
    Blood... Blood!
[03:37] Default
    Give me your blood!
[03:44] Default
    Blood! Blood!
[03:45] Default
    Give me your blood!
[03:52] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[03:53] Default
    Come with me. Hurry!
[03:55] Default
    Okay!
[03:58] Default
    Blood! Blood!
[04:05] Default
    Chizuru! You okay?!
[04:07] Default
    Yes!
[04:09] Default
    Blood...
[04:11] Default
    Give me your blood!
[04:13] Default
    Looks like he's in no condition to talk.
[04:17] Default
    Give me your blood!
[04:30] Default
    What's he doing here?
[04:32] Default
    I'm very sorry.
[04:34] ---
    My lack of supervision is to blame.
[04:36] Default
    Sannan-kun. What's the meaning of this?
[04:39] Default
    I don't know what happened either.
[04:46] Default
    Yukimura-kun, are you all right?
[04:50] Default
    I'm fine.
[04:51] Default
    You're not fine, are you?
[04:53] Default
    All this blood...
[05:00] Default
    Sannan-san?
[05:04] Default
    Sannan-san!
[05:05] Default
    What's the matter?
[05:07] Default
    Get back, Chizuru!
[05:11] Default
    Sannan-san!
[05:13] Default
    Blood... I...
[05:16] Default
    I want blood. Blood!
[05:19] Default
    Dammit!
[05:20] ---
    The smell of blood has
    gotten to Sannan-san, too?
[05:30] Default
    Your blood...
[05:32] Default
    I want more of your blood.
[05:36] Default
    Guess we've got no choice, huh?
[05:37] Default
    Dammit!
[05:39] Default
    We'll take him at once.
[05:41] Default
    Wait!
[05:55] Default
    Sannan-san!
[05:57] Default
    Yukimura-kun. Just what did I...?
[06:06] Default
    I see. Like him, I...
[06:11] Default
    Just what is all this racket?!
[06:13] Default
    Someone explain it to me!
[06:16] Default
    S-Sannan-san!
[06:18] Default
    Y-You should be d-dead!
[06:20] ---
    Why...?!
[06:22] Default
    Come, calm yourself, Itou-san.
    We'll talk tomorrow.
[06:25] Default
    It's already late.
[06:27] Default
    How could I possibly be calm?!
[06:29] Default
    You need to explain this to me!
[06:30] Default
    Looks like we're busted.
    Should I kill him?
[06:35] Default
    Use my room for tonight.
[06:37] ---
    And have Yamazaki look at your wounds.
[06:39] Default
    I'm all right.
[06:41] Default
    There's no way you're all right!
[06:43] Default
    Yamazaki is our resident doctor--
[06:44] Default
    I'm fine! I can treat my own wounds.
[06:57] Default
    Why?
[06:58] Default
    Why did I regain my senses?
[07:19] Default
    Good morning--
[07:20] Default
    Gimme a break!
[07:22] Default
    How could we forgive such selfishness?!
[07:24] Default
    Right on the heels of yesterday...
[07:26] ---
    He sure does move fast, that fox.
[07:33] Default
    Has something happened?
[07:35] Default
    Itou-san has announced
    he's leaving the troop.
[07:38] Default
    Itou-san?
[07:40] Default
    A Guardian of the Imperial Tomb?
[07:42] Default
    Indeed.
[07:43] Default
    Upon departing, I, Itou,
[07:44] ---
    shall assume guard of
    Emperor Komei's tomb,
[07:48] Default
    along with my men, of course.
[07:51] Default
    But Itou-san, we can't
    allow you to simply resign.
[07:55] Default
    Are you saying I should stay,
[07:57] ---
    after that display of just last evening?
[07:59] Default
    Yes, well, about that...
[08:01] Default
    What's more, to think
    that Sannan-san is alive,
[08:04] ---
    after I'd been told he was dead...
[08:06] Default
    If I am an officer, what is the meaning
[08:08] ---
    of my not having been informed of this?
[08:11] Default
    All responsibility for this falls to me.
[08:14] Default
    It seems other things have
    been kept secret as well.
[08:18] Default
    When there are secrets
    among the top leaders,
[08:21] ---
    it has an effect on the morale of all.
[08:23] Default
    Your logic is sound.
[08:24] ---
    Put simply, you're saying
    to split up the group, yes?
[08:28] Default
    This isn't "splitting
    up" by any stretch.
[08:30] Default
    It's a constructive division of forces.
[08:33] Default
    I keep these secrets to myself,
[08:36] ---
    just as you keep the details
    of my leave to yourselves. Yes?
[08:42] Default
    Well, if you're that adamant about it,
[08:45] ---
    it can't be helped.
[08:50] Default
    You'll have no regrets, will you?
[08:55] Default
    Heisuke-kun and Saito-san?
[08:57] Default
    Yes. It seems they'll
    be going with Itou-san.
[09:00] ---
    It's a shock.
[09:02] Default
    Oh, no...
[09:04] Default
    Heisuke-kun, that bastard!
[09:05] ---
    He didn't even come to
    us for a word of advice!
[09:08] Default
    Dammit! This is no joke!
[09:20] Default
    How many times has it been,
[09:22] ---
    that the cherry blossoms
    of Kyoto have fallen so?
[09:26] Default
    Saito-san...
[09:28] Default
    Time passes, and many things change:
[09:31] ---
    The workings of the world, ideologies,
[09:35] Default
    and also the Shinsengumi.
[09:38] Default
    You're going to leave us
    because it has changed?
[09:43] Default
    And yet, it's not as
    if all things change.
[09:48] Default
    It is those unchanging
    things in which I believe.
[09:54] Default
    Unchanging things...
[10:21] Default
    I don't think Itou-san
    is completely wrong,
[10:25] ---
    like everyone says he is.
[10:28] Default
    Imperial nationalism or
    adherence to the shogunate:
[10:31] Default
    I don't think you can know which
[10:33] ---
    is right until you try for yourself.
[10:35] Default
    Plus, I was the one who invited
    Itou-san in the first place.
[10:40] Default
    I can't word it well,
[10:42] ---
    but I want to see what is needed for
[10:45] ---
    the sake of this country.
[10:47] Default
    That's why I'm going
    to go with Itou-san.
[10:52] Default
    Heisuke-kun...
[10:54] Default
    But I want you to understand something.
[10:57] Default
    It's not like I've come
    to hate the others.
[11:01] Default
    If I said I'm not sad to be
    leaving you, that would be a lie.
[11:05] Default
    Well then... Is this place no good?
[11:08] Default
    You should be able to learn
[11:11] ---
    what's best for this world right here.
[11:14] Default
    You may be right, but...
[11:17] Default
    I've already decided to go.
[11:20] Default
    Even I am... I'm a man.
[11:28] Default
    I'm sorry.
[11:29] ---
    I wasn't able to stay with
    you till you found your dad.
[11:33] Default
    No...
[11:36] Default
    Take care of yourself, Chizuru.
[11:39] Default
    You too, Heisuke-kun.
SIGN    March 20, 1867
[11:47] Default
    March 20, 1867.
[11:51] Default
    Itou-san leads a band of 13 men,
[11:54] ---
    plus Heisuke-kun and Saito-san,
[11:56] Default
    and leaves the Shinsengumi headquarters.
[12:01] Default
    The cherry blossoms fell,
[12:03] ---
    and the season leaned toward
    the beginnings of summer.
[12:12] Default
    Heisuke, that bastard...
    Heisuke, that bastard!
[12:16] Default
    Come on, you're of the same "expel
    the foreigners" ideology.
[12:20] ---
    You'll meet again.
[12:22] Default
    Commander, a female visitor is here.
[12:24] Default
    A female visitor?
[12:26] Default
    She said she's come
    to see Yukimura-kun,
[12:28] ---
    but also wants to meet
    with you and the others.
[12:33] Default
    Me?
[12:37] Default
    Sen-chan!
[12:38] Default
    I've come for you, Chizuru-chan.
[12:40] Default
    What do you mean?
[12:42] Default
    There's no more time.
[12:43] ---
    Please prepare to leave here at once.
[12:46] Default
    You can't just say
    something like that...
[12:49] Default
    That's right.
[12:50] ---
    Can't you explain it so
    WE can understand, too?
[12:54] Default
    You know of Chikage Kazama, don't you?
[12:56] Default
    Kazama?
[12:57] Default
    That ally of Satsuma, right?
[13:00] Default
    He and his pals Amagiri and Shiranui
[13:02] ---
    have gone up against us several times.
[13:05] Default
    And you know that they're
    after this girl?
[13:08] Default
    We're aware of it.
[13:10] ---
    Apparently, they refer
    to themselves as devils.
[13:13] Default
    They're certainly incredibly
    skilled, but "devil" is kinda...
[13:16] Default
    I, too, am a devil.
[13:21] Default
    This is Princess Sen,
    descendent of Suzuka Gozen
[13:24] ---
    of the ancient demonic bloodline.
[13:27] Default
    And I am Princess Sen's
    shinobi, of a line
[13:29] ---
    that has served her for generations.
[13:31] Default
    Huh? Come to think of it,
    you were at Shimabara.
[13:35] Default
    Kimigiku-san!
[13:36] Default
    Now I get it.
[13:38] ---
    I thought you were overly friendly,
[13:40] ---
    but your goal was
    Shinsengumi information.
[13:45] Default
    Since antiquity, the
    powerful of each era
[13:48] ---
    have set eyes on the devils' power
[13:49] Default
    and come seeking to use it.
[13:53] Default
    One band of devils that
    never cared for combat
[13:57] Default
    grew to hate being dragged
    into the wars of men,
[14:00] Default
    and in time they scattered,
    living in secret.
[14:05] Default
    Their interaction with humans grew,
[14:07] ---
    and now there are few
    devils of pure bloodline.
[14:10] Default
    Such as you and Kazama, you mean?
[14:13] Default
    Yes. In western realms,
    the Kazama clan...
[14:16] Default
    and in the east, the
    Yukimura clan are the
[14:19] ---
    largest devil families.
[14:22] Default
    I'd heard that the Yukimura
    Family was extinct, but...
[14:24] Default
    H-Hang on a second! So,
    you're saying, what?
[14:27] Default
    That Chizuru's a devil?!
[14:31] Default
    It seems you've perhaps
    thought of something...
[14:40] Default
    Her wound!
[14:42] ---
    It looked pretty deep, but...
[14:45] Default
    It's because... I'm a devil.
[14:47] Default
    I see.
[14:49] ---
    Her blood is the reason I
    regained my senses that night.
[14:55] Default
    If devils descended from good,
[14:57] ---
    pure bloodlines were to join together,
[14:59] Default
    they could produce
    powerful devils indeed.
[15:00] Default
    So that's what Kazama's after.
[15:02] Default
    Yes.
[15:04] Default
    If Kazama were to attack you in earnest,
[15:06] ---
    you would all be powerless.
[15:08] Default
    Say, Princess Sen, ain't "powerless"
    goin' a little too far?
[15:12] Default
    We are the Shinsengumi,
    called the Wolves of Miburo.
[15:15] Default
    Going up against a devil or
    two gives us no pause at all.
[15:18] Default
    You should know Kazama's
    power full well.
[15:21] Default
    We, however, may be able
    to protect Chizuru.
[15:25] Default
    Meaning you may NOT be able
    to protect her, right?
[15:30] Default
    Yukimura-kun, what about you?
[15:32] Default
    Huh?
[15:33] Default
    You should decide:
[15:35] ---
    Will you go with these
    two or remain here?
[15:38] Default
    Kondou-san, that ain't right!
[15:40] Default
    Be quiet, Shinpachi.
[15:44] Default
    I...
[15:52] Default
    I'll stay here.
[15:55] Default
    Chizuru-chan...
[15:58] Default
    I'm sorry, Sen-chan.
[16:00] Default
    Chizuru-chan, could it be there's
[16:01] ---
    some reason that you
    don't want to leave here?
[16:03] Default
    Huh?
[16:04] Default
    There's someone here
    you fancy, for example.
[16:07] Default
    U-Um...
[16:11] Default
    Princess, is this really all right?
[16:15] Default
    Chizuru-chan, don't forget.
[16:17] Default
    I'm your ally, all right?
[16:20] Default
    Thank you.
[16:25] Default
    Congratulations on your
    guard of the Imperial Tomb.
[16:28] Default
    Thank you very much.
[17:06] Default
    No challenge at all, huh?
[17:13] Default
    What are these guys?
[17:14] Default
    My apologies for the wait.
[17:16] Default
    We of the Fury Corps shall be
    the opponents of you devils.
[17:22] Default
    It seems these guys were created
    as a result of that research.
[17:26] Default
    Ah. Those imitations, huh?
[17:28] Default
    Come! Unleash all your power!
[17:35] Default
    What's that?!
[17:50] Default
    If you hit them in their
    vital spot, they're done for.
[17:53] Default
    How terrible to make
    creatures such as these!
[17:57] Default
    Sure enough, true devils
    are ferocious indeed.
[18:04] Default
    I leave this to you.
[18:07] Default
    Guess I've got no choice.
[18:11] Default
    Yukimura-kun!
[18:12] Default
    You mustn't!
[18:13] ---
    The Vice-Commander ordered
    that you not leave your--
[18:15] Default
    I'M the one they're after.
[18:16] ---
    I can't make the others fight for me!
[18:20] Default
    I've come to get you.
[18:22] Default
    Get behind me, Yukimura-kun!
[18:31] Default
    Shimada-san!
[18:32] Default
    Please stop this! No more--
[18:48] Default
    Sannan-san! I'll hold this guy off!
[18:51] Default
    Quit talkin' uppity, boy!
[19:00] Default
    Chizuru!
[19:02] Default
    Release Chizuru, dammit!
[19:04] Default
    Care to try taking her by force?
[19:07] Default
    Interesting.
[19:08] ---
    You've trespassed into the
    Shinsengumi's headquarters.
[19:11] Default
    We won't allow any
    more selfish behavior!
[19:19] Default
    What's the matter? You're backing up!
[19:27] Default
    That woman's value lies in the
    fact that I shall use her.
[19:30] Default
    You can finish telling that
    story to the damned in hell!
[19:36] Default
    Hijikata-san!
[19:37] Default
    So, you're awake?
[19:42] Default
    Well...
[19:51] Default
    Stop it!
[19:53] Default
    You mustn't do this!
[19:57] Default
    Why do you side with the humans?
[20:00] Default
    In the end, they will only betray you.
[20:03] Default
    You've seen those fake devils
    they've created, haven't you?
[20:07] Default
    What merit is there
    in siding with fools
[20:09] ---
    who would make things like those?
[20:12] Default
    And yet... I believe in them.
[20:20] Default
    Kazama. She turned you down, huh?
[20:22] Default
    I've lost interest in this. Let's go.
[20:26] Default
    See ya, Harada. I'll kill you next time.
[20:30] Default
    Keep that neck clean and ready for me!
[20:31] Default
    Yeah, that goes right back at you.
[20:37] Default
    Check on the wounded.
[20:39] Default
    Sir!
[20:40] Default
    Understood.
[20:43] Default
    You all right?
[20:46] Default
    Harada-san...
[20:49] Default
    You did great.
[20:50] Default
    I... For my sake, everyone--
[20:54] Default
    Don't make that face.
[20:56] Default
    It's only right that a man
    protects a woman, Chizuru.
[21:00] Default
    It's because you were here
[21:02] ---
    that we were many times
    more powerful than usual.
[21:05] Default
    Hijikata-san and Shinpachi, too...
[21:11] Default
    Harada-san... Everyone...
    Thank you very much.
[21:19] Default
    Hijikata-san said you did well, too.
[21:23] Default
    Yes.
[23:02] Default
    In terms of the Itou
    faction's movements,
[23:04] Default
    they're clearly trending toward
[23:06] ---
    aggressive action against
    the Shinsengumi.
[23:08] Default
    Aggressive action?
[23:10] Default
    Itou-san must die, period.
[23:13] Default
    Next time
