[00:03] ---
    Oh, Harada-san!
[00:07] ---
    Osen-san.
[00:08] ---
    You're up early.
[00:10] ---
    I have to make a rush delivery.
[00:13] ---
    How's Chizuru-chan doing?
[00:18] ---
    Actually...
[00:25] ---
    Chizuru-chan is missing?
[00:28] ---
    And she might have been
    captured by rogue samurai?
[00:32] ---
    What in the world were you all doing?
[00:35] ---
    You claim to be keeping
    peace in the capital
[00:37] ---
    but you can't even protect one girl!
[00:40] ---
    There's nothing I can say.
[00:42] ---
    It's disgraceful.
[00:46] ---
    You're owning up to it, then.
[00:49] ---
    It wouldn't help at all to make excuses.
[00:53] ---
    Be careful on your way home, Osen-san.
[00:56] ---
    If I find anything out,
    I'll contact headquarters.
[01:00] ---
    Thanks.
[01:19] ---
    "Hakuoki"
[02:38] ---
    Heisuke!
[02:41] ---
    Did you find anything?
[02:43] ---
    Not even a clue.
[02:46] ---
    I see.
[02:47] ---
    Where in the world did those two go?
[02:50] ---
    Damn it!
[02:51] ---
    Even after the inspectors were killed
[02:53] ---
    our only way to search is to
    wander around blindly like this?
[03:00] ---
    Anyway, let's get some food
    and go on patrol.
[03:07] ---
    I examined the remains
    of the dead soldiers.
[03:11] ---
    The bite marks on their necks are
    undoubtedly the work of Furies.
[03:18] ---
    To think they were attacked by Furies...
[03:23] ---
    The fact that inspectors
    staking out a Tosa mansion
[03:27] ---
    were killed by Furies must mean...
[03:30] ---
    ...there's some kind of connection to
    the Furies that escaped the Tosa Clan.
[03:37] ---
    Wait!
[03:41] ---
    We have to clear this
    with Kondou-san first.
[03:47] ---
    Toshi.
[03:48] ---
    If we did something like that,
[03:50] ---
    it would pit Aizu against Tosa in battle.
[03:53] ---
    Kondo-san, do you really
    understand the situation?
[03:56] ---
    Four of our allies were killed
    and two of our troops are missing.
[04:01] ---
    We have to be prepared
    to face that battle!
[04:04] ---
    I feel the same way
    about our troops, Toshi.
[04:07] ---
    Still, we can't jeopardize
    the Aizu Clan's position for that.
[04:15] ---
    With your permission,
    perhaps I could be of some assistance.
[04:21] ---
    I didn't intend to eavesdrop,
[04:24] ---
    but it's unusual to hear Hijikata-kun's
    voice resonate with anger like that.
[04:30] ---
    Itou-san...
[04:33] ---
    "Twilight,
    Hawk Moths at the Lantern"
[04:41] ---
    I, Itou, fortunately have connections
    in the different Western clans.
[04:45] ---
    I shall talk to the higher-ups
    in the Tosa Clan
[04:49] ---
    and persuade them to give us permission
    to investigate their mansions.
[04:53] ---
    You can do that?
[04:55] ---
    Recently, the Tosa Clan has become
    very upset at the selfish behavior
[05:00] ---
    of the lordless samurai.
[05:02] ---
    Surely they don't want to draw
    the Shinsengumi's attention right now.
[05:06] ---
    I see.
[05:08] ---
    How about it, Toshi?
    Should we leave this one to Itou-san?
[05:15] ---
    I understand why you
    wouldn't want to be in my debt,
[05:19] ---
    but for the sake of the victims, too,
[05:22] ---
    shouldn't we be working together
    as one right now, Vice Commander?
[05:28] ---
    Fine.
[05:31] ---
    Take care of it.
[05:32] ---
    Leave it to me.
[05:56] ---
    That Souji...
[05:57] ---
    He didn't touch his food again?
[06:01] ---
    It seems he was up all night
    searching for Yukimura-kun.
[06:04] ---
    He already left for patrol this morning.
[06:06] ---
    If he keeps that up,
    he'll ruin his health.
[06:09] ---
    He's been looking pale recently.
    I'm worried about him.
[06:23] ---
    I'll leave the rest to you.
[06:28] ---
    They're rogue samurai from Tougoku.
[06:33] ---
    Well, that was a waste of my time.
[06:37] ---
    We still can't enter
    any Tosa mansions, right?
[06:40] ---
    Right.
[06:41] ---
    Having to ask Itou-san for help...
[06:44] ---
    Has he lost his touch?
[06:46] ---
    The Vice Commander is doing
    a Vice Commander's work.
[06:54] ---
    You need to eat properly.
[06:56] ---
    Vice Commander's orders.
[07:08] ---
    I am Kashitaro Itou of the Shinsengumi.
[07:12] ---
    Would you please announce me
    to Yoshida-sama?
[07:15] ---
    That is absolutely no concern of ours,
[07:18] ---
    so please, withdraw.
[07:20] ---
    You have been warned.
    Do whatever you wish.
[07:25] ---
    Oh, it's you!
[07:29] ---
    From the Satsuma clan, I believe.
[07:33] ---
    How lovely to see the western
    clans getting along so well.
[07:38] ---
    I wonder what you all were talking about.
[07:45] ---
    Have you seen anything unusual?
[07:47] ---
    No.
[07:48] ---
    I'm taking this sword with me.
[07:51] ---
    No matter what, please be courteous
    to those Shinsengumi troops.
[07:56] ---
    Gotcha.
[07:58] ---
    I know that's a costume,
    but ain't it scary how alike they look?
[08:02] ---
    Yeah. It's darn creepy.
[08:06] ---
    What in the world do they plan
    to do with me?
[08:10] ---
    And what happened to Sakai-san?
[08:13] ---
    Tell Okita-san and the others
    what happened.
[08:18] ---
    I hope he's safe...
[08:22] ---
    I've got to get back to everyone!
[08:30] ---
    Why am I here?
[08:34] ---
    When that happened,
    I was prepared for death
[08:36] ---
    It's all right now.
[08:38] ---
    --and then, Yukimura-kun...?
    --If you drink this, you'll survive.
[08:42] ---
    There's no trace of those
    horrible sword wounds.
[08:45] ---
    Is it because of that medicine?
[08:48] ---
    What in the world
    is happening to my body?
[08:55] ---
    A Chizuru lookalike?
[08:56] ---
    Yes. One of the inspectors
    apparently spotted them.
[09:00] ---
    The inspector tried to follow,
    but lost them.
[09:04] ---
    Where was that?
[09:07] ---
    I guess this is what it means
    to be grasping at straws.
[09:12] ---
    Yeah. If we cover all
    the suspicious locations one by one,
[09:16] ---
    we should eventually
    come across Chizuru and Sakai.
[09:20] ---
    This place sure is bleak, though.
[09:23] ---
    I almost expect a ghost to appear...
[09:26] ---
    --Chizuru!
    --Chizuru?
[09:35] ---
    Chizuru!
[09:40] ---
    Heisuke!
[09:56] ---
    It's freezing!
[09:57] ---
    An abandoned well... We've been had.
[10:00] ---
    Nobody will ever come over here.
[10:04] ---
    The bottom of that well is ice-cold.
[10:07] ---
    How perfect that they're going
    to freeze to death in the summer.
[10:12] ---
    Damn it!
[10:17] ---
    Hey! Chizuru!
[10:18] ---
    Be quiet! There might be
    enemies wandering around.
[10:22] ---
    If that had been Chizuru, we'd already...
[10:23] ---
    Zo wha we 'onna oo?
[10:29] ---
    A little higher.
[10:30] ---
    Okay. How about this?
[10:33] ---
    Yeah, that's good.
[10:37] ---
    I wonder if Chizuru even remembers...
[10:42] ---
    It suddenly started raining.
[10:45] ---
    You cried, saying Orihime and Hikoboshi's
    stars wouldn't be able to meet.
[10:50] ---
    I tried to comfort you.
    I told you they were bound by fate
[10:54] ---
    so they would
    definitely still meet, right?
[10:59] ---
    Once Uncle Kodo arrives,
[11:01] ---
    we can finally be reunited, too.
[11:05] ---
    And then, the two of us will
    rebuild the Yukimura family.
[11:11] ---
    Itou-san got us a contract
    from the Tosa Clan.
[11:15] ---
    Now, we Shinsengumi can finally conduct
    our official government business.
[11:19] ---
    Yes!
[11:22] ---
    What happened to Harada and Heisuke?
[11:24] ---
    According to Yamazaki,
[11:26] ---
    they heard that an inspector had
    seen someone that looked like Yukimura
[11:30] ---
    and went out in the evening
    to investigate.
[11:33] ---
    I see.
[11:36] ---
    At any rate, we must hurry
    to rescue Sakai and Yukimura.
[11:40] ---
    Be prepared for anything!
[11:42] ---
    I'll be the one to save Chizuru.
[11:45] ---
    Vice Commander, if anyone
    raises a hand against us...
[11:49] ---
    We can slice them, right?
[11:51] ---
    Do your best to keep it sheathed.
[11:54] ---
    You should tell our enemies that instead.
[12:02] ---
    D-Damn it! We don't have time
    to be stuck down here shivering!
[12:07] ---
    We already tried everything
    we could think of.
[12:10] ---
    There's gotta be some other way
[12:13] ---
    but my brain is freezing, too.
[12:17] ---
    If I had to spend the rest of my life
    in a well, I'd rather be with Okiku
[12:20] ---
    from "The Haunted Bancho Plate
    Mansion" than with you, Heisuke.
[12:24] ---
    How can you joke at a time like this?
[12:27] ---
    Maybe that person we just saw
    was Chizuru's ghost!
[12:32] ---
    Quit talking out of your ass!
[12:34] ---
    Chizuru must still be alive somewhere!
[12:38] ---
    You're right...
[12:40] ---
    But still,
[12:42] ---
    why does the bottom of a well
    have to be so cold even in summer?
[12:47] ---
    Harada and Heisuke still haven't returned?
[12:50] ---
    Right.
[12:51] ---
    I doubt they'll get in any trouble
    if they're together,
[12:55] ---
    but at a time like this...?
[12:58] ---
    It can't be helped.
[12:59] ---
    Men!
[13:01] ---
    We now depart to conduct our official
    government business at the Tosa mansion!
[13:15] ---
    "Notice to the Tosa Feudal Retainer"
[13:16] ---
    The Shinsengumi are here
    on official business!
[13:19] ---
    Shi-Shinsengumi are here!
[13:21] ---
    Don't move!
[13:22] ---
    If they resist, cut them down!
[13:27] ---
    Heisuke, keep it together!
    If you fall asleep, you'll die!
[13:30] ---
    --Sano-san, it's no use. I'm finished.
[13:32] ---
    --What's wrong?
    --Sano-san, it's no use. I'm finished.
[13:34] ---
    Don't be an idiot, Heisuke!
[13:36] ---
    What was that?
[13:40] ---
    Is somebody there?
[13:43] ---
    That voice... Is it Osen-san?
[13:45] ---
    Hey!
[13:47] ---
    We're here! Inside the well!
[13:49] ---
    Osen-san, are you there?
[13:49] ---
    Princess...
[13:50] ---
    Osen-san, are you there?
[13:50] ---
    I can't help it.
[13:52] ---
    It's me, Sanosuke Harada
    of the Shinsengumi!
[13:52] ---
    We can't just leave them like this not after we found them.
[13:57] ---
    Nonetheless...
[13:57] ---
    Osen-san!
[13:57] ---
    Just go get some light and rope.
[13:58] ---
    Hey! Save us!
[13:58] ---
    Just go get some light and rope.
[14:01] ---
    Osen-san, could you give us a hand?
[14:01] ---
    You mustn't be seen, so I'll
    take care of the rest somehow.
[14:06] ---
    Save us!
[14:07] ---
    We fell into the well
    and can't climb out!
[14:07] ---
    Understood.
[14:10] ---
    Osen-san!
[14:11] ---
    Darn it!
[14:19] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[14:26] ---
    I know you're there.
[14:31] ---
    Now where are you going
    this late at night?
[14:34] ---
    None of your damn business.
[14:36] ---
    What is that costume you're wearing?
[14:38] ---
    Trying to look like a Tosa fox
    disguised as Chizuru Yukimura?
[14:43] ---
    So you were the one
    sneaking around in the background.
[14:47] ---
    With a fox's shallow wit, too.
    Your tail is showing.
[14:52] ---
    If you're going to get in my way...
[14:57] ---
    How dare you draw your sword on me.
[14:59] ---
    Begone!
[15:08] ---
    Relax.
[15:10] ---
    I'll take you down with one blow
    so you don't suffer.
[15:19] ---
    You'll regret this!
[15:25] ---
    I'll let you show me the way, then.
[15:33] ---
    Sounds like the Shinsengumi
    are comin' at us from all sides.
[15:37] ---
    Ain't it be better to just
    finish 'er off, then?
[15:41] ---
    Yeah, but we gotta keep her as a hostage
    until the Shogun's assassination is done.
[15:46] ---
    A lil' brat like that?
[15:47] ---
    Yep.
[15:49] ---
    "Whatever happens,
    be courteous," she said.
[15:54] ---
    You! Up!
[15:57] ---
    Hey, wake up.
[15:59] ---
    Hey!
[16:03] ---
    Wh-Where'd she go?
[16:05] ---
    Don't let her escape!
[16:08] ---
    Ahh, we're saved!
[16:11] ---
    We really owe you, Osen-san.
[16:13] ---
    I'm frozen to the bone.
[16:16] ---
    The only thing you should chill
    in a well is watermelon!
[16:19] ---
    What were you even doing here?
[16:22] ---
    We were chasing someone that
    looked like Chizuru, and fell in.
[16:26] ---
    Someone who looked like Chizuru-chan?
[16:29] ---
    Still, it's amazing that you found us
    out here this late at night, Osen-san.
[16:35] ---
    Huh? Y-Yeah, I guess.
[16:37] ---
    I-I was so worried about Chizuru,
    I just couldn't sit still.
[16:43] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[16:44] ---
    I heard there's a mansion up ahead where
    some ronin from the west have gathered.
[16:50] ---
    I thought it might have
    something to do with Chizuru-chan.
[16:55] ---
    Where is that?
[16:57] ---
    --Wait!
    --Stop her!
[17:01] ---
    Quit givin' us so much trouble!
[17:10] ---
    Kazama-san?
[17:13] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[17:16] ---
    I was captured by those men.
[17:20] ---
    What's that?
[17:22] ---
    Knave!
[17:24] ---
    Get them!
[17:26] ---
    Just what I would expect from a fox.
[17:29] ---
    --Come.
    --Where do you think you're going?
[17:31] ---
    --Please let go!
    --Hold it!
[17:32] ---
    That Kazama, sticking his nose in...
[17:35] ---
    It's the Shinsengumi!
[17:37] ---
    You will let us in to search!
[17:39] ---
    Not them!
[17:41] ---
    The Shinsengumi?
[17:42] ---
    Why here?
[17:43] ---
    Kill 'em! Kill 'em! Kill 'em!
[17:45] ---
    Sounds like a confession to me.
[17:47] ---
    Let's go, Heisuke.
[17:49] ---
    Give me a break!
[17:51] ---
    I'll still never give up on Chizuru!
[17:54] ---
    After them!
[17:58] ---
    --Don't let them get away!
    --Maybe we don't need to make
    an appearance after all.
[18:02] ---
    It seems so.
[18:03] ---
    Let's leave the rest
    to Harada-san and the others.
[18:06] ---
    Understood.
[18:10] ---
    Chizuru, are you there?
[18:15] ---
    Chizuru! Sakai!
[18:17] ---
    Harada-san! Heisuke-kun!
[18:19] ---
    Chizuru! Are you all right?
[18:24] ---
    So the Mibu wolves have
    finally sniffed out their prey.
[18:27] ---
    Kazama, why here...?
[18:30] ---
    I see. You're one of them.
[18:33] ---
    You idiot.
[18:34] ---
    Wait a min--
[18:44] ---
    Damn it!
[18:52] ---
    So it was you, huh?
[18:54] ---
    I need to repay you for Ikeda-ya.
[18:56] ---
    What a joke. You couldn't even
    protect one woman.
[19:00] ---
    Okita-san! Kazama-san saved me!
[19:07] ---
    Kazama, perhaps we should
    let them finish this.
[19:19] ---
    Demon woman. I will come for you soon.
[19:28] ---
    So you were alive after all.
[19:30] ---
    Yes. Thank you very much.
[19:39] ---
    Are you all right, Yukimura?
[19:42] ---
    Hajime-kun, our work isn't over yet.
[19:46] ---
    Chizuru! Man, I was so worried!
[19:49] ---
    Are you injured?
[19:50] ---
    I'm all right. I'm sorry for
    making you worry about me.
[19:54] ---
    And Sakai-san is...?
[19:57] ---
    You weren't together?
[19:59] ---
    No.
[20:06] ---
    Chizuru-chan, you're okay!
[20:08] ---
    Thank goodness!
[20:10] ---
    Welcome home, Yukimura-kun.
[20:12] ---
    I'm so glad that you're safe!
[20:18] ---
    Thank you very much, everyone.
[20:24] ---
    Hijikata-san!
[20:26] ---
    Um...
[20:27] ---
    The rogue samurai who captured me
    are plotting to assassinate the Shogun.
[20:35] ---
    To assassinate the Shogun?!
[20:42] ---
    Leave the rest of this to us.
[20:45] ---
    I apologize.
[20:47] ---
    I put you in danger.
[20:50] ---
    No... Thank you for saving me.
[20:55] ---
    It's good that you made it
    back to us safely.
[20:57] ---
    Yes!
[21:00] ---
    I'm glad Chizuru made it back safe,
    but she's been really down ever since.
[21:05] ---
    She's probably still worried
    about Sakai-kun.
[21:09] ---
    If that was Sakai's blood,
    I really doubt he's still alive.
[21:16] ---
    Why don't we cheer Chizuru up?
[21:18] ---
    But how?
[21:21] ---
    "Fabrics"
[21:22] ---
    C'mon in, folks.
[21:27] ---
    A yukata for the Tanabata Festival?
    I totally forgot!
[21:31] ---
    If we don't order one soon,
    we won't get it in time.
[21:37] ---
    Hmm... What pattern would
    look good on Chizuru?
[21:41] ---
    I got it! How about
    a flashy one like this?
[21:44] ---
    Glittery, glittery goldfish!
[21:46] ---
    Eww, my eyes are stinging!
    There's no way!
[21:50] ---
    For Chizuru, something more like this...
[21:54] ---
    That one's too basic! Check this out...
[21:57] ---
    Balls of fire!
[22:00] ---
    Heh. You guys don't get her at all.
[22:03] ---
    This is the best one here.
[22:08] ---
    Don't tell me you picked that
    because "Yuki" means snow...
[22:11] ---
    Snow in the summer time is weird!
[22:13] ---
    Dummy.
[22:15] ---
    A snow pattern in summer
[22:17] ---
    is supposed to cool the eyes.
    It's the fashion right now.
[22:20] ---
    And who's more fashionable
    than women from the east?
[22:22] ---
    This'll be perfect for Chizuru.
[22:24] ---
    You're right! Our hot stud from
    Shimabara sure knows his stuff!
[22:29] ---
    We're the Shinsengumi.
[22:33] ---
    We require your cooperation to ensure
    peace and order in the capital.
[22:36] ---
    Cooperation? What do you mean?
[22:41] ---
    I-I understand. Please wait a moment.
[22:45] ---
    So these are the fake
    Shinsengumi we heard about.
[22:48] ---
    --Fight 'em?
    --No. Let's just watch for now.
[22:51] ---
    If we hold back, we might be
    able to learn something.
[22:54] ---
    P-Please accept this small amount.
[23:00] ---
    Youse tryin' to screw with us?!
[23:03] ---
    Whosa hell ya think we yah?
[23:07] ---
    Shut up, ya little shit!
[23:09] ---
    That bastard!
[23:11] ---
    --Hey.
    --Huh?
[23:16] ---
    Weren't we gonna play it cool, Sano-san?
[23:19] ---
    Showing off all by himself...
[23:23] ---
    What da hell ya doin'?
[23:24] ---
    You gonna disobey the Shinsengumi?
[23:26] ---
    What a strange coincidence.
[23:29] ---
    I, too, fly the Shinsengumi banner.
[23:32] ---
    Wha--?
[23:33] ---
    Captain of the Tenth Division
    of the Shinsengumi, Sanosuke Harada!
[23:38] ---
    And I'm Captain of the Second Division
    of the Shinsengumi, Shinpachi Nagakura.
[23:43] ---
    Captain of the Eighth Division
    of the Shinsengumi, Heisuke Toudou!
[23:52] ---
    It'd be a stain on the Shinsengumi name
    to draw our swords on scum like you.
[23:56] ---
    You're an insult to those uniforms.
[23:59] ---
    Watch it!
[24:09] ---
    Hey! Leave the uniforms!
[24:11] ---
    Those were our new ones!
[24:14] ---
    Damn it!
[24:30] ---
    It's only starting now.
[24:33] ---
    I'll show you a thing or two...
[26:06] ---
    The location of the four escaped
    Furies is as yet still unknown.
[26:13] ---
    And the plot to assassinate
    the Shogun is still moving forward...
[26:18] ---
    What do we do, Toshi?
[26:21] ---
    The fights were brought to us.
    We have to face them.
[26:25] ---
    We'll finish off every single one of them
[26:27] ---
    by our own hands.

    "Chapter 3 Preview"
[26:36] ---
    In this day and age, a person could
    lose their life at any moment.
[26:40] ---
    Oh no! He became a Fury, too?
[26:42] ---
    He said that's where they're holding
    the Shinsengumi who escaped.
[26:46] ---
    Let's go, Hajime-kun!
[26:47] ---
    So you dogs have come...
[26:49] ---
    Will you become a soldier or a demon?
[26:51] ---
    That's the choice you make
    when you join the Shinsengumi!
