Where is he?
**[01:14] C**
What?!
**[01:14] D**
Ambush!
**[01:15] Shizuma**
Feel Aizu's wrath!
**[01:22] E**
Bastards!
**[01:25] Gen'nosuke**
Shizuma!
**[01:38] Gen'nosuke**
You did it, Shizuma.
**[01:40] Shizuma**
Yeah.
**[01:46] Shizuma**
Gen'nosuke!
**[01:48] Kawaji**
That one is the oni killer of Aizu!
**[01:50] Kawaji**
Kill them both!
**[01:53] Shizuma**
Let's go.
**[01:54] Gen'nosuke**
Leave me.
**[01:56] Shizuma**
Shut up!
**[02:14] Gen'nosuke**
This is it, isn't it?
F-For the castle, and for me.
**[02:19] Shizuma**
Wait for me on the other side.
I'll take a few down with me before I join you.
**[02:25] Gen'nosuke**
No.
**[02:27] Gen'nosuke**
You must live.
**[02:29] Gen'nosuke**
Live... and protect Sumie.
**[02:34] Gen'nosuke**
My precious little sister.
**[02:39] Gen'nosuke**
Please, Shizuma.
**[02:41] Gen'nosuke**
Protect Sumie...

All right.

**[03:26] Shizuma**
Have you seen the girl in this photo?
**[03:30] Shizuma**
Her name's Kanomata Sumie.
**[03:32] Lady**
That's not a face I've seen around here.
**[03:35] Shizuma**
I'm sure she's grown since this was taken.
**[03:39] Shizuma**
Please, take a good look.
**[03:41] Lady**
Sorry, but I don't know her.

**[03:53] Kumakichi**
Hey, rickshaw runner.
**[03:55] Shizuma**
Hello.
**[04:02] Shizuma**
One, two. One, two.
**[04:05] Shizuma**
One, two. One, two.
**[04:07] Kumakichi**
Rickshaw boy, what's this?
**[04:10] Shizuma**
It's a rabbit, my symbol.
**[04:12] Shizuma**
I'll take you to the moon, if you so desire.
**[04:16] Kumakichi**
I like your spirit.
**[04:27] Kumakichi**
What a piteous sight.
**[04:31] Shizuma**
What is?
**[04:33] Kumakichi**
Many who fought as samurai in the Boshin War,
enemy and ally alike, now live hand-to-mouth,
**[04:38] Kumakichi**
after being cast off by the government.
**[04:41] Kumakichi**
All they've been left with is the
empty title of "warrior class."
**[04:44] Kumakichi**
If that isn't piteous,
I don't know what it is.
**[04:47] Shizuma**
We don't need your pity.
**[04:49] Kumakichi**
So you're also one of them?
**[04:51] Kumakichi**
Truth be told, so am I.
**[04:54] Shizuma**
Please don't toy with me, sir.
**[04:58] Kumakichi**
I won't let this end here, though.
**[05:01] Kamejirou**
Shizuma-san! See you later!
**[05:03] Shizuma**
Kamejirou.
**[05:11] Shizuma**
It's only in fables that the
tortoise beats the hare!
**[05:11] Kumakichi**
H-Hey, take it easy!
**[05:19] Shizuma**
We've arrived.
**[05:20] A**
Welcome back, Takechi-sama.
**[05:27] A**
Oh, my.
**[05:29] Kumakichi**
Rickshaw boy, could you buy me a new
pair of sandals from the shop over there?
**[05:33] Shizuma**
Sure, right away.
***SIGN*** Minister of the Right
Iwakura Tomomi
**[06:00] Kikuma**
Iwakura Tomomi, you traitor!
Prepare yourself!
**[06:10] Kumakichi**
Did we get him?
**[06:11] Kikuma**
It felt like it.
**[06:12] Kumakichi**
Then we're done here. Let's go.
**[06:21] Kawaji**
Unacceptable!
***SIGN*** Chief Superintendent
Kawaji Toshiyoshi
***SIGN*** Lord of Home Affairs
Ohkubo Toshimichi
**[06:29] Ohkubo**
For the Minister of the Right
to be ambushed...
**[06:32] Kawaji**
This is absolutely unforgivable.
**[06:35] Ohkubo**
How is Mr. Iwakura?
**[06:37] Kawaji**
Fortunately, his injuries were not fatal.
**[06:42] Ohkubo**
Listen, Kawaji. The government
is still not on solid footing.
**[06:46] Ohkubo**
If it is seen to be weak, it will spark
unrest throughout the nation.
**[06:51] Kawaji**
I understand.
**[06:53] Kawaji**
We will be sure to arrest the assailant
and demonstrate the government's might.
**[06:58] Ohkubo**
We're counting on it.
**[07:00] Kawaji**
Yes, sir.
**[07:02] Kawaji**
Many of you will already have heard.
**[07:05] Kawaji**
This is our first and greatest challenge.
**[07:10] Kawaji**
All of you, in the name of the police force,
give your all to solving this case!
**[07:15] All**
Yes, sir!
**[07:30] Kamejirou**
The food there smells good, like always.
**[07:33] Shizuma**
It would go great with rice balls.
**[07:36] Kamejirou**
Man...
**[07:37] Kamejirou**
Just once, I'd love to have
a bellyful of what they serve.
**[07:40] Shizuma**
Work your way up the ranks
and start making the real money.
**[07:43] Shizuma**
When you do, you can treat me to some.
**[07:46] Kamejirou**
That won't happen.
**[07:47] Kamejirou**
You can't make it in this land if you
aren't from Satsuma or Choushuu.
**[07:56] Kamejirou**
How's the search for your fiancée going?
**[07:58] Shizuma**
Getting nowhere. Not a single lead so far.
**[08:02] Shizuma**
She may well be dead already.
**[08:05] Shizuma**
Still...
**[08:07] Shizuma**
Until I know for sure,
I have to keep looking for her.
**[08:11] Shizuma**
I made a promise to my friend.
**[08:14] Osanai**
This is definitely it. It's exactly
as the witness described.
**[08:18] Osanai**
Hey, you!
**[08:19] Osanai**
Is this rickshaw yours?
**[08:20] Shizuma**
Yes, it's mine. Why?
**[08:22] Osanai**
What's your name?
**[08:24] Shizuma**
Origasa Shizuma.
**[08:25] Osanai**
Where are you from?
**[08:28] Shizuma**
Aizu, sir.
**[08:30] Osanai**
Oh, Aizu, huh?
**[08:32] Osanai**
Then it wouldn't surprise me if you
held a grudge against the government.
**[08:36] Makino**
Come with us.
**[08:38] Kamejirou**
Shizuma-san, what have you done?
**[08:40] Shizuma**
I have no idea what's going on.
**[08:42] Shizuma**
Could you please explain?
**[08:44] Osanai**
You are suspected of the
attempted murder of Mr. Iwakura.
**[08:47] Shizuma**
This has to be some kind of mistake.
**[08:49] Osanai**
Are you saying it wasn't you?
**[08:51] Shizuma**
If it *had* been me, he would be in his grave now.
**[08:54] Makino**
I don't need to listen to this bullshit!
**[08:56] Osanai**
The assailant's sandals were
found at the crime scene!
**[09:00] Osanai**
The shop owner stated that a rickshaw runner
with an origami ornament bought them!
**[09:04] Osanai**
So enough bullshit!
**[09:05] Kamejirou**
Please stop that!
**[09:07] Kamejirou**
Shizuma-san would never do such a thing.
**[09:10] Osanai**
Quiet!
**[09:12] Shizuma**
What was that for? You dolts!
**[09:14] Osanai**
Shut up and stop resisting arrest,
you enemy of the state!
**[09:20] Shizuma**
You bastard!
**[09:28] Shizuma**
Let's run!
**[09:28] Kamejirou**
R-Right!
**[09:30] Shizuma**
Kamejirou, can I leave you
with the cart for a while?
**[09:34] Kamejirou**
Sure, I don't mind. But what
are you planning to do?
**[09:36] Shizuma**
The Restoration may have done away with
the samurai, but their code of honor lives on.
**[09:41] Shizuma**
I will hunt down the real
assailant and clear my name!
**[09:46] Kamejirou**
That's insane.
**[09:47] Shizuma**
Not really. I think I know who it is.
**[09:50] Shizuma**
That customer...
**[09:53] Shizuma**
He's the one behind it.
**[09:56] Parks**
So...
**[09:58] Parks**
Has the Japanese government
taken any action, Ms. Kurogi?
**[10:03] Kurogi**
Mr. Iwakura is safe, but it isn't
certain when he'll be back at work.
**[10:07] Sign**
Parks British Envoy
**[10:07] Parks**
So the man who made himself central
to reforming the one-sided treaty
**[10:12] Parks**
has now left the stage.
**[10:16] Kurogi**
You seem glad.
**[10:17] Parks**
England and Japan are friends.
**[10:20] Parks**
But even in a friendship,
there is a pecking order.
**[10:23] Parks**
The Queen will not be interested
in seeing any further development.
**[10:28] Kurogi**
So you want Japan to remain
a convenient trade partner.
**[10:31] Parks**
Better than a colony, is it not?
**[10:35] Kurogi**
By the way, sir...
**[10:37] Kurogi**
Who's this?
**[10:38] Parks**
A fool who unwisely decided to put
military weapons on the black market.
**[10:44] Parks**
I thought I'd punish him myself.
**[10:47] Kurogi**
Six chambers and only one bullet.
**[10:51] Kurogi**
You're quite generous.
**[10:53] Parks**
The goal isn't to execute him.
It's to instill fear and remorse.
**[10:58] Kurogi**
I see.
**[11:00] Kurogi**
Well, anyway...
**[11:02] Kurogi**
As I have been loyal,
may I collect my information fee?
**[11:24] A**
Oh, rickshaw puller. Taking the day off?
**[11:27] Shizuma**
Is that customer I brought
last time still here?
**[11:29] A**
Hm... Who might you be talking about?
**[11:32] Shizuma**
Let's see... Was his name Takechi?
**[11:34] Shizuma**
Yeah, it was Takechi.
**[11:35] A**
Oh, Takechi-sama.
**[11:37] A**
I believe he's gambling.
**[11:51] Dealer**
Go!
**[11:53] Dealer**
2-6, even!
**[11:59] Kumakichi**
Damn. Today's not my day.
**[12:04] Dealer**
Are we ready?
**[12:06] Dealer**
Here we go.
**[12:09] Guest**
Even!
**[12:10] Guest**
Odd!
**[12:10] Guest**
Even!
**[12:11] Kyoushirou**
Even.
**[12:13] Kumakichi**
All right. I'll go even, too!
**[12:17] Dealer**
The bets are in.
**[12:21] Dealer**
3-6, odd!
**[12:22] Kumakichi**
Dammit!
**[12:24] Kyoushirou**
Hold it.
**[12:26] Dealer**
Can I help you, sir?
**[12:28] Kyoushirou**
Do you use extra dice
in this establishment?
**[12:32] Dealer**
I'd appreciate you not
talking out of your ass.
**[12:36] Kyoushirou**
Talking out of my ass?
**[12:40] Kyoushirou**
Then, what do you have behind your ear?
**[12:47] Kumakichi**
Bastard! You've been cheating!
**[12:50] Guests**
Give me back my money!
**[12:51] Guests**
Treachery!
**[12:53] Douyama**
Now, now. Everyone, please calm down.
**[12:56] Kyoushirou**
Is this how the famous
Douyama Clan does things?
**[13:00] Kyoushirou**
How will you take responsibility for this?
**[13:04] Douyama**
What's your name, son?
**[13:08] Kyoushirou**
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[13:13] Lender**
Cut off your finger.
**[13:15] Dealer**
Boss...
**[13:16] Douyama**
Do it.
**[13:26] Lender**
Are you satisfied now?
**[13:28] Kyoushirou**
I have yet to see the owner of this
establishment take responsibility.
**[13:33] Kyoushirou**
Watch your tongue, rogue!
**[13:38] Douyama**
Take this and forget about it for today.
**[13:41] Kyoushirou**
It seems the Douyama Clan's
reputation can be bought for very little.
**[13:44] Kyoushirou**
I won't accept this pittance.
**[13:48] Douyama**
You rat...
**[13:54] Lender**
You have a lot of nerve,
embarrassing me like that.
**[13:56] Dealer**
You aren't getting away with this!
**[13:58] Dealer**
Take this!
**[14:03] Kyoushirou**
Don't bother.
**[14:05] Kyoushirou**
You'll only embarrass yourself further.
**[14:07] Dealer**
Contemptible wretch!
**[14:17] Dealer**
Who are these morons?
**[14:20] Kyoushirou**
I don't remember calling for you.
**[14:22] Guen**
Let us have some fun.
**[14:24] Gentsugu**
We demand entertainment.
**[14:26] Kyoushirou**
Suit yourselves.
**[14:28] Dealer**
Hey, hold it!
**[14:35] Dealer**
That asshole...
**[14:36] Dealer**
Kill them all!
**[14:42] Dealer**
He vanished?
**[15:01] Dealer**
Wh-What's going on?
**[15:03] Gentsugu**
Well, now...
**[15:05] Gentsugu**
What might they be hallucinating?
**[15:07] Gentsugu**
It's a shame I have no way of knowing.
**[15:10] Dealer**
You asked for it.
**[15:21] Dario**
How dare you point a gun
at Kyoushirou-sama...
**[15:24] Dario**
Deus may forgive you, but I won't.
**[15:31] Dealer**
H-Help me...
**[15:39] Dario**
Amen.
**[15:40] Gentsugu**
Namas.
**[15:41] Guen**
He isn't dead. I just knocked him out.
**[15:45] Kumakichi**
What the hell is going on?
**[16:08] Kumakichi**
All that money you scammed...
**[16:10] Kumakichi**
is mine now.
**[16:22] Shizuma**
Takechi.
**[16:36] Kikuma**
Poor Iwakura. You must have
given him quite a scare.
**[16:40] A**
I'm told he's been hiding out in his
mansion ever since we attacked him.
**[16:44] Kikuma**
That coward.
**[16:45] Kikuma**
I was going to finish him off,
but he's not even worth killing.
**[16:51] Kumakichi**
I'm here, finally.
**[16:53] Kikuma**
Ah, brother. Gambling again?
**[16:56] Kikuma**
I bet you lost all your money.
**[16:59] Kumakichi**
I happened to get lucky today.
**[17:02] Hizuru**
Then, why don't you use your
great luck in the name of justice?
**[17:09] Kumakichi**
What are you talking about?
**[17:10] Hizuru**
Even with the Ministry of the Right defeated,
there are more bad men out there, are there not?
**[17:14] Kikuma**
Not to worry. We'll take
care of all the bad men.
**[17:20] Hizuru**
Then, you might as well go after
the biggest villain of them all.
**[17:25] Kumakichi**
The home lord, Ohkubo Toshimichi.
**[17:28] Kikuma**
The villain who ousted Saigou Takamori, the hero
of the Restoration, to take over the government?
**[17:35] Hizuru**
Can you take him down?
**[17:36] Both**
Of course we can.
**[17:38] Hizuru**
Ah, what promising words.
**[17:41] Hizuru**
Well, as you are such righteous men,
here is a modest gift from me.
**[17:46] Kumakichi**
Where did you find such a thing?
**[17:48] Hizuru**
Will it be of use to you?
**[17:50] Kumakichi**
Yes. I appreciate it.
**[18:04] Kawaji**
Mr. Ohkubo.
**[18:05] Ohkubo**
Kawaji. Have you captured the men
who attacked Mr. Iwakura?
**[18:09] Kawaji**
We're working hard to find them.
**[18:11] Ohkubo**
Then, get back to work!
**[18:13] Ohkubo**
Only report to me once you've arrested them.
**[18:15] Kawaji**
Wait, sir!
**[18:16] Kawaji**
Let us assign bodyguards
in case of another attack!
**[18:20] Ohkubo**
No.
**[18:21] Ohkubo**
The people will think the
government is full of cowards
**[18:25] Ohkubo**
if we walk around with guards
out of fear of assassination.
**[18:28] Kawaji**
Mr. Ohkubo!
**[18:35] Kumakichi**
If our information is correct, a carriage
carrying Ohkubo will pass through here soon.
**[18:41] Kikuma**
We'll give him the same
treatment as Iwakura.
**[18:43] All**
Right!
**[18:44] Kikuma**
Everyone, stay sharp!
**[18:52] Kumakichi**
Who's there?!
**[18:54] Shizuma**
You're the ones who attacked the
Ministry of the Right, aren't you?
**[18:58] Kikuma**
Who are you?!
**[18:59] Kumakichi**
I've seen your face before.
You're the rickshaw runner!
**[19:02] Kumakichi**
I have no ill will towards you,
but I cannot let you live!
**[19:06] Kikuma**
You have nowhere to run.
**[19:12] Kumakichi**
Ohkubo's carriage.
**[19:14] Kikuma**
I'll slay this one.
**[19:16] Kikuma**
Get Ohkubo, brother!
**[19:17] Kumakichi**
Right.
**[19:18] Men**
Stop! Stop!
**[19:20] A**
Ohkubo! Prepare for punishment!
**[19:27] Kawaji**
I came prepared, just in case.
Looks like it was the right move.
**[19:30] Kumakichi**
Where's Ohkubo?!
**[19:31] Kawaji**
I got Mr. Ohkubo to take
a different route home.
**[19:36] Kumakichi**
Bastard.
**[19:37] Kumakichi**
Cut him down!
**[19:41] Kikuma**
He's only one man! Stand firm!
**[19:47] Kikuma**
The way you move... Were you a samurai?
**[19:50] Shizuma**
Who can say?
**[19:52] Kikuma**
A samurai shouldn't be content
with the rot within this government.
**[19:55] Kikuma**
Why do you interfere with our vision?!
**[19:58] Shizuma**
I don't give a rat's ass about your "vision."
**[20:00] Shizuma**
I'm just here to clear my name.
**[20:08] Kawaji**
No!
**[20:21] Kumakichi**
Know your place, rickshaw boy.
**[20:25] Kikuma**
Thanks, brother.
**[20:26] Kumakichi**
Yeah.
**[20:27] Kumakichi**
Out of bullets? You should have known better.
**[20:30] Kawaji**
I've made enough noise to
alert the patrolling officers.
**[20:35] Kawaji**
You have nowhere to run.
**[20:37] Kumakichi**
You're in way over your head, Ohkubo's dog.
**[20:39] Kumakichi**
Die!
**[20:45] Kumakichi**
Impossible. I was sure I hit you.
**[21:00] Shizuma**
Sorry, but...
**[21:02] Shizuma**
Dying is a luxury I can ill afford.
**[21:07] Kikuma**
Brother!
**[21:09] Kawaji**
Stay where you are.
**[21:13] Osanai**
Chief Superintendent Kawaji! Are you hurt?
**[21:16] Kawaji**
I'm fine.
**[21:17] Osanai**
Rickshaw runner! So you
*were* one of them, after all!
**[21:20] Osanai**
I was right all along!
**[21:22] Kawaji**
You're wrong.
**[21:23] Kawaji**
He assisted in the case.
**[21:26] Kawaji**
Young man, how are you
so spry after being shot?
**[21:32] Kawaji**
Now that is surprising.
**[21:34] Kawaji**
You've got some luck.
**[21:36] Shizuma**
I'm not so sure.
**[21:39] Shizuma**
It may be a curse.
**[21:45] Kawaji**
What is that man's name?
**[21:47] Osanai**
Origasa Shizuma. He's from Aizu.
**[21:50] Kawaji**
Origasa Shizuma.
**[21:55] Hizuru**
Thank you for coming tonight.

Former Councilor
Etou Shinpei
**[21:58] Hizuru**
Etou-sensei, we would like you to consider
heading the anti-government army.
**[22:06] Etou**
Forgive me, but I have
no intention of doing that.
**[22:09] Etou**
Military action is a last resort.
**[22:11] Etou**
We first need to appeal for change
through the power of law and reason.
**[22:16] Hizuru**
If everyone were as wise as you,
a method like that could be effective...
**[22:22] Etou**
I will continue to do what I feel is right.
**[22:25] Etou**
Excuse me.
**[22:36] Hizuru**
What a shame.
**[22:38] Hizuru**
He turned us down.
**[22:40] Masked man**
The curtain has been raised.
**[22:43] Masked man**
Whether he likes it or not...
**[22:46] Masked man**
he cannot leave his role on the stage.
**[23:19] Shizuma**
There you go.
**[23:23] Shizuma**
Here. Take it.
**[23:24] A**
Thank you!
**[23:27] Kawaji**
Hey, rickshaw runner.
**[23:29] Shizuma**
Hello!
**[23:30] Shizuma**
Where do you want me to take...
**[23:36] Shizuma**
It's you.
**[23:39] Kawaji**
Young man, would you like
to join the police force?

**[00:54] Kyoushirou**
Greetings.
**[00:55] Kyoushirou**
My name is Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[00:59] Kyoushirou**
I am just getting started in the real world,
and still learning my way around.
**[01:05] Kyoushirou**
I look forward to being in your care.
**[01:09] Gotou**
Hold it there!
**[01:11] Togura**
Brother Gotou.
**[01:12] Gotou**
You're the one-eyed bastard who made
trouble for the Douyama Clan, aren't you?
**[01:18] Kyoushirou**
I see you've heard the rumors.
**[01:20] Gotou**
You're a pathetic drifter who tried to cheat
a gambling house and got ejected, aren't you?
***SIGN*** Moriya
Clan
**[01:26] Gotou**
You're in trouble with the Douyama, so now
you're here to hide under the Moriya name.
**[01:31] Gotou**
I can't allow the likes
of you to meet our boss!
**[01:34] Gotou**
Leave now, or you'll get cut!
**[01:38] Kyoushirou**
It seems there's been a misunderstanding.
**[01:41] Kyoushirou**
I'll come back another time.
**[01:48] Gentsugu**
You've been driven out, huh? Tough luck.
**[01:51] Guen**
It sounds like the Douyama Clan
is spreading false rumors.
**[01:57] Dario**
Of course. They're yakuza. They can't
possibly admit their own guys lost.
**[02:03] Gentsugu**
What will you do now?
**[02:06] Kyoushirou**
I would have preferred not to...
**[02:08] Kyoushirou**
But I may have to make it rain blood.

**[02:35] Shizuma**
Th-The beheading, please.
**[02:50] Shizuma**
Gen'nosuke...
**[03:05] Shizuma**
A dream, huh?
**[03:09] Shizuma**
I can't die until I've fulfilled my promise.
**[03:13] Shizuma**
I know that.
**[03:15] Osanai**
Hey, your shift's over.
**[03:17] Shizuma**
Officer Osanai.
**[03:18] Osanai**
You'd better not have
been sleeping on the job.
**[03:21] Shizuma**
Of course not. I'm very much a night owl.
**[03:23] Osanai**
My ass.
**[03:25] Osanai**
Why did Chief Superintendent Kawaji let
an Aizu boy like you into the police force?
**[03:30] Shizuma**
I didn't really want to join.
**[03:33] Shizuma**
But he was very insistent, so what could I do?
**[03:37] Osanai**
You piece of shit!
**[03:39] Osanai**
Don't you dare do anything to sully
Chief Superintendent Kawaji's name,
**[03:42] Osanai**
or I'll make sure you're sorry you did!
**[03:45] Shizuma**
Do you mind not getting so close to my face?
**[03:47] Townsperson**
A fight!
**[03:50] Shiotani**
Hey, asshole.
**[03:51] Shiotani**
Got nothin' to say after bumpin' into me?
**[03:53] Tamura**
Like hell I did! *You* were
the one who ran into *me!*
**[03:58] Tsushima**
You've got some nerve,
picking a fight with the Chindai.
**[04:03] Chindai**
What's wrong?
**[04:04] Tsushima**
Had enough?
**[04:07] Shiotani**
That's some nice shit ya got there.
**[04:10] Shiotani**
I'm takin' it for our troubles.
**[04:12] Osanai**
Cease this fighting!
**[04:14] Tsushima**
Look, here come the baton swingers.
**[04:16] Shiotani**
And what if we *don't* "cease"?
**[04:18] Shiotani**
Ya gonna arrest us?
**[04:19] Tsushima**
Hey, come and arrest me!
**[04:21] Tsushima**
Isn't it your job to charge
me for pissing in public?
**[04:24] Shizuma**
Sure. I'll oblige and arrest you.
**[04:27] Shizuma**
So put that pathetic twig away.
**[04:29] Tsushima**
What was that?!
**[04:30] Tsushima**
You think some lowly police
are a match for the Chindai?
**[04:33] Osanai**
Stop. It's not a good idea
to fight with soldiers.
**[04:37] Shizuma**
You're telling me not to interfere?
**[04:38] Osanai**
Just leave it at a warning.
**[04:41] Shiotani**
You're a washed-up samurai, ain't ya?
**[04:43] Shiotani**
Samurai don't get to talk big anymore!
**[04:46] Tsushima**
Why don't you try cutting me down?
**[04:49] Tsushima**
Oh, wait, sorry. You don't
have your katana anymore.
**[04:52] Shizuma**
Damn farm boy soldier.
**[04:55] Osanai**
Calm down, you fool.
**[04:56] Shizuma**
Let go of me.
**[05:00] Osanai**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[05:02] Tsushima**
Hm? Wanna go?
**[05:04] Shiotani**
I'm down for a brawl.
**[05:09] Shiotani**
Tch, let's get outta here.
**[05:14] Ohkubo**
How is the inquiry into the men who
attacked Mr. Iwakura proceeding?
**[05:19] Kawaji**
We've interrogated everyone, including
the ringleader, Takechi Kumakichi.
**[05:24] Kawaji**
But there are still unanswered questions.
**[05:27] Ohkubo**
What more is there to know?
**[05:29] Kawaji**
Who told Takechi and the other
criminals about Mr. Iwakura's schedule,
**[05:34] Kawaji**
and how they came by the pistol in their
possession when we made the arrest—
**[05:38] Ohkubo**
The case is solved.
**[05:39] Kawaji**
Sir?
**[05:40] Ohkubo**
Those defying the government
were arrested swiftly.
**[05:43] Ohkubo**
The case is closed.
**[05:46] Ohkubo**
Dragging it out will make the people doubt the
government's competence. We must avoid that.
**[05:51] Kawaji**
But, sir—
**[05:52] Ohkubo**
That is the end of it.
**[05:54] Ohkubo**
Is there anything else?
**[05:55] Kawaji**
Yes, sir. Former councilor Etou
will shortly be arriving in Saga.
**[06:01] Kawaji**
Seemingly in anticipation, the disaffected
warrior class in Saga are making moves.
**[06:05] Kawaji**
There's a strong chance they
will get him to lead a rebellion.
**[06:10] Ohkubo**
The man is an idealist. He believes
in the rule of law more than force.
**[06:15] Ohkubo**
Isn't he more likely to convince
them not to take up arms?
**[06:20] Kawaji**
That assumes he does not
become one of them first.
**[06:39] Moriya**
I heard the news, Gotou.
**[06:41] Moriya**
You turned away a drifter
who tried to hide out with us.
**[06:45] Gotou**
That bastard tried to get us caught up
in his beef with the Douyama.
**[06:50] Gotou**
I gave him a scare and sent him packing.
**[06:52] Moriya**
The Douyama are our rivals.
We're fighting over the same turf.
**[06:56] Moriya**
You could have kept him
as our pet to get us access.
**[07:00] Gotou**
He had no balls, though.
He would've been a burden.
**[07:05] Kyoushirou**
Why don't we let the boss
see if I have balls or not?
**[07:12] Gotou**
You! What the hell are you doing here?!
**[07:14] Kyoushirou**
Forgive me for my presentation.
**[07:19] Kyoushirou**
I heard some terrible rumors about myself,
and I wanted to set the record straight.
**[07:24] Kyoushirou**
So I brought a piece of evidence with me.
**[07:27] Moriya**
Oh?
**[07:28] Moriya**
What did you bring?
***SIGN*** Douyama
Clan
**[07:34] Togura**
Th-That's the Douyama Clan banner!
**[07:37] Gotou**
How did you...
**[07:40] Kyoushirou**
By force.
**[07:48] Kyoushirou**
And now, the Douyama's turf is yours, boss.
**[07:53] Moriya**
I like you, boy.
**[08:06] Tanba**
I heard you had a rough time last night.
**[08:08] Midorikawa**
You got in a fight with the Chindai?
**[08:10] Shizuma**
My head's still pounding.
**[08:12] Midorikawa**
They have a habit of provoking us,
knowing we can't easily arrest them.
**[08:16] Midorikawa**
They're a pain in the ass.
**[08:18] Tanba**
Do you regret joining the police?
**[08:21] Shizuma**
I can't drink, and the wages are measly.
**[08:25] Shizuma**
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't regretting it at all.
**[08:29] Shizuma**
More please, Mitsu-san.
**[08:31] Mitsu**
Sure thing.
**[08:32] Shizuma**
But I like that I always
have food and shelter.
**[08:34] Tanba**
If you love the theater,
getting free entry is nice, too.
**[08:37] Midorikawa**
I have to be careful there, though.
I don't want to end up like Officer Osanai.
**[08:43] Shizuma**
What are you talking about?
**[08:45] Midorikawa**
Believe it or not, that man's
a huge theater buff.
**[08:48] Midorikawa**
It got him into trouble, and he
ended up being transferred here.
**[08:51] Shizuma**
How badly do you have to
screw up to end up like that?
**[08:54] Midorikawa**
Well, you should ask him what happened.
**[08:57] Midorikawa**
Things will get heated if I say too much.
**[08:59] Tanba**
Say, Officer Origasa, I heard a rumor
that Chief Superintendent Kawaji
**[09:04] Tanba**
recruited you personally.
**[09:05] Midorikawa**
Is that true?
**[09:08] Shizuma**
It's a long story.
**[09:11] Kawaji**
Not taking your rickshaw out today?
**[09:13] Shizuma**
You again?
**[09:15] Shizuma**
I told you, I'm not interested
in joining the police.
**[09:18] Kawaji**
You did, but we can't let the oni killer
of Aizu wander around freely.
**[09:25] Kawaji**
I've looked into your past.
**[09:27] Shizuma**
You're right. I killed plenty of
Satchou men during the Boshin War.
**[09:31] Shizuma**
And you still want me to do police work?
**[09:34] Kawaji**
I want to keep you where I can see you.
**[09:37] Kawaji**
I don't want your skills to fall
into the hands of bad men.
**[09:41] Shizuma**
You have no reason to worry.
I've abandoned my sword.
**[09:45] Shizuma**
I'm just a rickshaw puller now.
**[09:47] Kawaji**
Are you sure about that?
**[09:50] Kawaji**
That night you risked your life in a fight...
**[09:53] Kawaji**
Did you not feel your blood pumping?
**[09:59] Kawaji**
You can never rid yourself of the
samurai blood that flows in your veins.
**[10:04] Shizuma**
Shut your mouth!
**[10:06] Kawaji**
Shall we test my theory?
**[10:23] Kawaji**
You cannot lie to yourself.
**[10:26] Kawaji**
The police force is the best
place for you to use your might.
**[10:31] Kawaji**
As well as to search for your fiancée.
**[10:33] Shizuma**
You looked *that* up about me, too?
**[10:37] Kawaji**
Join the police... Origasa Shizuma.
**[10:43] Mitsu**
What's the matter, newcomer?
**[10:45] Mitsu**
You look awfully grim.
**[10:48] Shizuma**
This is how I normally look.
**[10:56] Senri**
The Japanese government issued me a
permit to do this report. May I come in?
**[11:01] Senri**
Um, well...
**[11:06] Guard**
Takechi Kumakichi. You have a visitor.
**[11:09] Senri**
Thanks. I'll take it from here.
**[11:13] Senri**
I'm Mary Blackwood.
I'm a reporter from England.
**[11:17] Senri**
I'm here to interview you.
**[11:19] Kumakichi**
Leave. I can't trust a woman reporter.
**[11:24] Senri**
Are you sure?
**[11:25] Senri**
You're going to end up being
remembered as the worst of villains.
**[11:30] Kumakichi**
Bullshit!
**[11:31] Kumakichi**
I'm a noble man in an
ailing nation! I'm a patriot!
**[11:35] Senri**
Tell me the truth, and I'll write
your side of the story in my article.
**[11:42] Kumakichi**
What do you want to know?
**[11:44] Senri**
Who found out about your target's
itinerary? And who gave you the gun?
**[11:50] Kumakichi**
A geisha I've known for a long time.
I can't give you her name.
**[11:53] Senri**
A geisha? Your accomplice was a geisha?
**[11:56] Kumakichi**
She's not just any geisha.
**[11:59] Kumakichi**
She found out the target's movements
and the ideal time and place to attack him.
**[12:03] Kumakichi**
As well as procuring a gun for me.
**[12:05] Kumakichi**
She's as much a patriot as I am.
**[12:08] Senri**
I see.
**[12:09] Senri**
So this geisha is the mastermind.
**[12:11] Kumakichi**
No!
**[12:12] Kumakichi**
She's just a like-minded ally!
**[12:15] Senri**
She must be exceptionally bright
if her pawn doesn't realize he's a pawn.
**[12:21] Kumakichi**
Wait! I hope you're writing
that article like you promised.
**[12:25] Senri**
Oh, right. The article.
**[12:27] Senri**
Here you go.
**[12:30] Kumakichi**
What the hell is this?
**[12:32] Senri**
A circus monkey.
**[12:33] Senri**
Perfect for you.
**[12:35] Kumakichi**
You fooled me?!
**[12:37] Fujishima**
Hurry up and take them to the shed.
**[12:40] Fujishima**
We don't have all day.
**[12:42] Hinazuru**
You look busy, Fujishima-san.
**[12:45] Fujishima**
I am. Thanks for coming, Hinazuru.
**[12:48] Fujishima**
Come inside.
**[13:08] Fujishima**
What will it be today?
**[13:10] Fujishima**
I've got some interesting guns.
**[13:13] Hinazuru**
I don't need those toys.
**[13:15] Hinazuru**
I want something that will kill discreetly,
silently, and with certainty.
**[13:19] Fujishima**
Then, you want poison.
**[13:21] Fujishima**
You can try it out for yourself.
**[13:25] Fujishima**
Say, I hear Etou Shinpei is back in Japan.
**[13:28] Fujishima**
Do you think he'll really
do what we hope he will?
**[13:31] Hinazuru**
I have someone hiding out there in Saga.
**[13:35] Hinazuru**
Even if Etou does not want to,
he cannot escape his destiny.
**[13:40] Etou**
I sympathize with you all.
**[13:43] Etou**
But right now, we must denounce the
government with law and reason, not violence.
**[13:48] Etou**
That is the way civilized people fight.
**[13:51] A**
Etou-sensei!
**[13:53] Etou**
What is it?
**[13:54] A**
The warrior class in Saga have learned
of your return and taken up arms!
**[13:59] Etou**
What?
**[14:00] A**
You must meet with them and take
command of their army at once.
**[14:06] B**
It's time!
**[14:07] B**
Time for the second Restoration!
**[14:09] C**
Yes! Time to show them our might!
**[14:12] C**
We must hurry!
**[14:21] Osanai**
Don't drag me down with
your pathetic antics this time.
**[14:26] Shizuma**
Back at you.
**[14:29] A**
H-Help!
**[14:32] A**
It's the Chindai!
**[14:34] Tsushima**
You creepy priests! I'll set you straight!
**[14:38] A**
Scram, you thugs!
**[14:41] Tsushima**
Who the hell just said that?!
**[14:43] Tsushima**
I'll beat the shit out of you!
**[14:44] Shizuma**
That's enough!
**[14:46] Osanai**
You're all outlaws!
**[14:48] Shizuma**
Those Chindai wretches are drunk again.
**[14:51] Osanai**
Y-You men! What are you doing?!
**[14:54] Tsushima**
What's the matter, you pathetic
civil servants? Back for more?
**[14:57] Osanai**
D-Don't you soldiers feel ashamed about
embarrassing yourselves in public?!
**[15:03] Tsushima**
You lousy bastards!
**[15:07] Shizuma**
You all right?!
**[15:08] Osanai**
Wasn't expecting that.
**[15:11] Tsushima**
What's wrong, you rotten policemen?
Everyone's watching.
**[15:14] Tsushima**
Do your job!
**[15:15] Shizuma**
Don't stop me this time.
**[15:18] Osanai**
All right. Show them what
the police are made of!
**[15:23] Shizuma**
Enter the star of the show.
**[15:25] Shizuma**
You rowdy brats threatening the town...
**[15:28] Shizuma**
I challenge you!
**[15:33] Tsushima**
Asshole!
**[15:34] Tsushima**
Get him!
**[15:44] Osanai**
Good job, Officer Origasa.
**[15:49] Tsushima**
Cocky bastard!
**[15:57] Shizuma**
Citizens gathered here in Asakusa,
**[16:00] Shizuma**
the police have zero tolerance
for anyone using violence!
**[16:07] Shizuma**
If you're ever in trouble,
come to my station in Denpouin.
**[16:17] Osanai**
That man is unbelievable.
**[16:30] Osanai**
When you were on stage,
your delivery wasn't that of a beginner.
**[16:34] Osanai**
Where did you learn to do that?
**[16:36] Shizuma**
Some of the regulars on
my rickshaw were actors.
**[16:40] Shizuma**
I impersonated Kikugorou today.
**[16:42] Osanai**
Kikugorou took your
rickshaw?! I'm so jealous!
**[16:47] Shizuma**
So it's true that you love theater, huh?
**[16:50] Osanai**
Ah, someone told you I got in trouble
because of it, didn't they?
**[16:54] Shizuma**
What did you do, anyway?
**[16:56] Osanai**
It's not a big deal.
**[16:57] Osanai**
The actors were doing such a fine job,
**[16:59] Osanai**
I forgot I was in uniform and
shouted, "The best in Japan!"
**[17:04] Shizuma**
I bet you got a lot of laughs.
**[17:07] Osanai**
If only that had been the end of it.
**[17:08] Osanai**
The theater started a marketing
campaign saying, "Even the police love it!"
**[17:13] Osanai**
And the act became really popular.
**[17:16] Shizuma**
And the brass got wind of it, huh?
**[17:19] Osanai**
So I got transferred here.
**[17:21] Shizuma**
Hey, at least there are plenty of
theaters here in Asakusa, right?
**[17:26] Osanai**
No kidding.
**[17:31] Tanba**
When did those two start getting along?
**[17:34] Midorikawa**
A Satsuma man and an Aizu man, huh?
**[17:37] Midorikawa**
It's a miracle.
**[17:41] Koume**
Rickshaw runner, may I hire you?
**[17:43] Kamejirou**
Oh, sure thing! Where to?
**[17:46] Koume**
To Shimbashi, please.
**[17:49] Koume**
Did you make this rabbit?
**[17:52] Kamejirou**
The man I'm indebted to made it.
**[17:57] Kamejirou**
I kept it there in the hope it
would bring me good fortune.
**[18:00] Kamejirou**
It seems to already be working.
**[18:02] Koume**
Oh? How so?
**[18:04] Kamejirou**
I have a beautiful lady in my rickshaw.
**[18:06] Koume**
Oh my, you're good.
**[18:10] Kamejirou**
Please come again!
**[18:15] Kamejirou**
Huh?
**[18:22] Koume**
I'm home.
**[18:24] Koume**
My, what pretty goldfish.
**[18:37] Koume**
But why, sister?!
**[18:39] Hinazuru**
It had to be done.
**[18:41] Koume**
Please, you're scaring me.
**[18:43] Koume**
Please stop consorting
with strange people.
**[18:46] Koume**
Please.
**[18:48] Hinazuru**
You're such a kind girl, Koume-chan.
**[18:51] Hinazuru**
You have to get away from me.
**[18:53] Hinazuru**
Live an ordinary life
with ordinary people.
**[18:58] Koume**
Sister!
**[19:00] Koume**
I'm not going anywhere.
**[19:02] Koume**
I'll always be on your side.

We need our bodies to make a living!
They're no good bruised and broken!
**[19:19] A**
They beat one of our boys! We can't show
our faces outside till we get back at 'em!
**[19:22] B**
Hear, hear!
**[19:24] Moriya**
What's going on outside?
**[19:27] Tamura**
Boss! Moriya!
**[19:28] Henchmen**
Boss!
**[19:29] Gotou**
The laborers are demanding
we let them take the day off
**[19:32] Gotou**
to get back at the Chindai
for targeting one of our own.
**[19:36] Moriya**
I can't allow that. We'd have to put
our construction projects on hold.
**[19:40] Tamura**
But, boss, how can we call ourselves
men if we don't do something?
**[19:45] Tamura**
One of the Chindai took the tobacco case
my old man left me when he died!
**[19:51] Moriya**
All right. I'll take care of that fight.
**[19:55] Tamura**
So the Moriya Clan's going to set
things straight with the Chindai?
**[19:59] Tamura**
Trust me. Moriya Ryuuzou
never goes back on his word.
**[20:03] A**
That's our boss! Yeah!
**[20:07] Gotou**
Boss, are you really going to
have a talk with the Chindai?
**[20:11] Moriya**
Of course not.
**[20:13] Moriya**
We'll buy time and wait
for the workers to cool off.
**[20:19] Moriya**
If that doesn't work, we just need to quietly
get rid of the man who was attacked.
**[20:24] Gotou**
That's our boss.
**[20:26] Gotou**
One less worker isn't going
to slow down construction.
**[20:29] Kyoushirou**
You mustn't do that.
**[20:31] Kyoushirou**
Your misdeeds will eventually get out.
It will tarnish your good name.
**[20:36] Gotou**
This is our business.
As a guest, kindly stay out of it.
**[20:40] Moriya**
Do you have a better idea?
**[20:44] Kyoushirou**
As a drifter, I would cause no trouble
for anyone if I got into a fight.
**[20:49] Togura**
Kyoushirou-san, are you
suggesting you'll go after them?
**[20:52] Gotou**
Watch your tongue!
**[20:53] Kyoushirou**
I have been given meals and a place to stay.
**[20:56] Kyoushirou**
It is only right that I put my
body on the line to repay you.
**[21:00] Kyoushirou**
I will do it gladly.
**[21:10] Midorikawa**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[21:12] Shiotani**
We're here to take back one
of our imprisoned men.
**[21:17] Mitsu**
Come quickly, newcomer! The station!
**[21:22] Osanai**
Attacking a police station?
Have you lost your mind?!
**[21:24] Shiotani**
Shut it! We're taking back our man!
**[21:26] Tanba**
Hold them off until the
officers return from patrol!
**[21:30] Shiotani**
Ain't happenin'!
**[21:32] Shiotani**
We have a second group waitin' for 'em.
**[21:36] Shizuma**
Bastards.
**[21:38] Shizuma**
Then, I'll force my way through!
**[21:40] Chindai**
You aren't getting to the station!
**[21:48] Shizuma**
This is a lot to take on at once.
**[22:01] Kyoushirou**
How cowardly, ganging up on one man.
For righteousness' sake, I will fight with you.
**[22:05] Shizuma**
I have no idea who you are or where
you came from, but I owe you one.
**[22:09] Kyoushirou**
You can thank me after you've survived.
**[22:15] Chindai**
To hell with this! Kill them!
**[22:30] Shizuma**
Not bad, Mr. One-Eye.
**[22:33] Kyoushirou**
You're good yourself.
**[22:36] Shiotani**
We're here to get ya.
**[22:37] Tsushima**
Good, I was waiting for you!
**[22:47] Shiotani**
Officer Osanai!
**[22:49] Osanai**
Origasa...
**[22:50] Osanai**
Look out!
**[22:51] Shiotani**
Looks like we missed a few baton swingers.
**[22:54] Shizuma**
You aren't getting away with this.
**[22:57] Tsushima**
You're the bastard who tied me up.
**[22:59] Tsushima**
I'll kill you!
**[23:09] Kyoushirou**
That's a nice tobacco case you've got there.
**[23:12] Shiotani**
Yeah. I took it from some cocky laborer.
**[23:18] Kyoushirou**
Allow me to expedite my introductions.
**[23:20] Shiotani**
What's this?
**[23:22] Kyoushirou**
I am Shuragami Kyoushirou, a pesky man lucky
enough to be taken in by the Moriya Clan.
**[23:29] Kyoushirou**
I have no grudge against you,
but I have a very important debt to repay.
**[23:33] Kyoushirou**
So I must insist you take responsibility.
**[23:38] Shiotani**
Responsibility?
**[23:40] Shiotani**
A lowly yakuza wants to take
me on? We're the Chindai!
**[23:59] Ginpachi**
That man...
**[24:03] Osanai**
Use this!
**[24:06] Tsushima**
This is the end!
**[24:29] Tsugumichi**
Both parties, enough! Put down your swords!
**[24:32] Shizuma**
Superintendent Kawaji.
**[24:34] Tsugumichi**
All Chindai, return to your units.
**[24:37] A**
Yes, sir!
**[24:38] Shizuma**
Wait a minute.
**[24:40] Shizuma**
You can't let them off the
hook after all they've done!
**[24:43] Tsugumichi**
I understand how you feel,
but the nation is facing a crisis.
**[24:46] Kawaji**
There's been a rebellion in Saga.
**[24:48] Kawaji**
Mr. Ohkubo needs as many men as we can
muster to lead an army there to quash it.
**[24:56] Tsugumichi**
Of course, they won't
all be deemed innocent.
**[25:00] Tsugumichi**
I've heard of your recent deeds.
You two are dismissed from the military.
**[25:04] Tsugumichi**
Give yourselves up to the
police without resisting!
**[25:12] Shizuma**
Where did that man go?
**[25:17] Fujishima**
The warrior class of Saga led by Etou
against the Chindai led by Ohkubo...
**[25:22] Fujishima**
Who will win?
**[25:24] Moriya**
Who would you place your bet on?
**[25:29] Hinazuru**
They all deserve to die.
**[25:32] Hooded man**
So-called "loyalist" lowlifes
who committed bloody murder
**[25:35] Hooded man**
during the Boshin War are
now cannibalizing each other.
**[25:38] Hooded man**
What sight could be sweeter?

Hey, mister.
**[01:16] Osada**
Wanna have some fun?
**[01:18] Kawaguchi**
What a coincidence.
**[01:20] Kawaguchi**
I was looking for someone
to have some fun with.
**[02:58] Kamejirou**
No luck today, either, huh?
**[03:00] Shizuma**
It's fine. I'll just ask every
geisha in town until we find her.
**[03:05] Shizuma**
Sumie and I are the only
ones who can fold these.
**[03:10] Shizuma**
Take this rabbit as a protective charm.
It will help you outrun arrows and bullets.
**[03:17] Shizuma**
What's so funny?
**[03:19] Shizuma**
I folded one, too.
**[03:24] Shizuma**
We both had the same idea, huh?
**[03:30] Kamejirou**
Anyway, I should be getting back to work.
**[03:33] Shizuma**
All right. Thanks for helping me out.
**[03:39] Comedian**
Led by Etou Shinpei, 3,000 disaffected men
of the warrior class took up arms in Saga.
**[03:46] Comedian**
They appeared to have the upper hand
at first, but that was short-lived.
**[03:52] Comedian**
Ohkubo himself went to Saga
and foiled their dastardly plans.
**[03:56] Comedian**
Etou Shinpei, realizing he was defeated,
skedaddled right on out of there.
**[04:03] Comedian**
Rumors abound that someone *else*
masterminded the rebellion.
**[04:07] Comedian**
Was it an oni? A tengu?
An evil spirit? Just who was it?
**[04:12] Comedian**
And that's time for me. Thank you.
**[04:16] Koume**
They say storytellers always act as

**[04:20] Hinazuru**
They also say reality is often
every bit as strange as fiction.
**[04:36] Shizuma**
Whoopsies.
**[04:37] Shizuma**
Are you all right, young lady?
**[04:50] Shizuma**
Here.
**[04:51] Child**
Thank you!
**[04:55] Shizuma**
What's that?
**[04:57] Otetsu**
Tell me where Osada is!
**[05:01] Osanai**
Stop that, old woman!
**[05:03] Shizuma**
Osanai-san, what's going on?
**[05:05] Otetsu**
What do all you patrolmen want?
**[05:07] Otetsu**
Stay out of this!
**[05:10] Shizuma**
Sheesh. What did the second-hand
clothes seller do to you?
**[05:13] Otetsu**
I lent a woman money and this
bastard knows where she is.
**[05:16] Otetsu**
I'm demanding he tells me.
**[05:19] Rokuzo**
I swear I don't know!
**[05:21] Otetsu**
Don't lie to me!
**[05:22] Otetsu**
This is Osada's obi.
**[05:24] Otetsu**
Where did you find it?!
**[05:26] Osanai**
Calm down, old woman!
**[05:28] Otetsu**
I want repaying before Osada
spends it all! Tell me where she is!
**[05:33] Osanai**
Okay, okay! Just calm down!
**[05:35] Osanai**
What is it, Origasa?
**[05:40] Rokuzo**
You washed the blood off?
**[05:46] Shizuma**
I'm also curious to hear more.
**[05:59] Shizuma**
If the owners of these are dead, that's more
victims than you can count on one hand.
**[06:03] Osanai**
Foul murderer! You're under arrest!
**[06:06] Rokuzo**
It wasn't me! It was the
hunting club that killed them all!
**[06:19] Shizuma**
He's still alive. Hospital, quick!
**[06:21] Osanani**
Right!

Chief Inspector Tanba reporting.
**[06:25] Kawaji**
Who is this man with you?
**[06:27] Tanba**
A pickpocket called Senpachi, who escaped
from the police station in Asakusa
**[06:32] Tanba**
in the chaos of the conflict.
**[06:33] Kawaji**
Why did you bring him here?
**[06:35] Tanba**
There is something you should hear,
Chief Superintendent.
**[06:39] Tanba**
Tell him what you told me.
**[06:41] Senpachi**
Gonna let me off the hook if I do?
**[06:44] Tanba**
Just hurry up and tell him!
**[06:47] Senpachi**
I know the identity of the man who
chopped off the arms of those Chindai.
**[06:54] Kawaji**
You mean the yakuza known
as Shuragami Kyoushirou?
**[06:58] Kawaji**
What of him?
**[06:59] Senpachi**
He is Ikegami Souichirou. He was
high up in the former Shounai-han Clan.
**[07:04] Kawaji**
Who?
**[07:05] Senpachi**
You don't know the name?
**[07:07] Senpachi**
Never heard the rumors about
what the scheming Ikegami Souichirou
**[07:11] Senpachi**
and the Shounai-han Clan tried to do to
help the rebel army win the Boshin War?
**[07:20] Dario**
It looks like we've earned
Moriya's trust after the mess we made.
**[07:26] Kyoushirou**
They say they want me as
a bodyguard for the clan.
**[07:30] Dario**
Still, I can't help wondering
why the police just let you go.
**[07:34] Dario**
We've caused a ton of trouble.
**[07:36] Kyoushirou**
It seems they're pretending
the revolt never happened.
**[07:40] Kyoushirou**
It would be a national disgrace, after all.
**[07:43] Attendant**
Bullseye!
**[07:46] Kyoushirou**
I'd say it's time to fire the second arrow.
**[07:49] Dario**
Finally!
**[07:51] Dario**
I'm sure Guen will be ecstatic, too.

We can finally let loose.
**[08:06] Parks**
Where did Etou Shinpei
end up after fleeing Saga?
**[08:10] Senri**
He's likely in Satsuma or Tosa, trying to
start another revolt of former samurai.
**[08:16] Parks**
Will there be another one?
**[08:18] Senri**
It's hard to imagine anyone would listen
to him after he left his own for dead.
**[08:25] Parks**
True.
**[08:27] Parks**
Continue your information gathering.
**[08:31] Senri**
Leave it to me.
**[08:35] Shizuma**
There's no way one person could
have killed this many people.
**[08:40] Midorikawa**
So it was a group, then.
An organized operation.
**[08:44] Osanai**
Thinking about it, that second-hand clothes
seller, Rokuzou, mentioned something...
**[08:48] Shizuma**
About a "hunting club"
or something, wasn't it?
**[08:50] Attendant**
A hunting club?
**[08:54] Shizuma**
Does it ring a bell?
**[08:56] Tanba**
A few years ago, a man was arrested
for abducting and killing people.
**[09:01] Tanba**
He mentioned a "hunting club," too.
**[09:04] Osanai**
What happened to his henchmen?
**[09:06] Tanba**
They committed suicide in prison.
**[09:08] Tanba**
There was a suspicion that
it was organized crime,
**[09:11] Tanba**
but the investigation was closed before
they could even look for accomplices.
**[09:15] Shizuma**
So sloppy.
**[09:16] Tanba**
The Metropolitan PD
didn't exist at the time.
**[09:19] Tanba**
We're lucky we have any
documentation at all.
**[09:22] Tanba**
We'll have to wait until Rokuzou
wakes up to find out the truth.
**[09:26] Shizuma**
We don't have time for that.
**[09:29] Shizuma**
If this was organized,
his accomplices are still out there.
**[09:32] Shizuma**
Let's check out who had
dealings with the old man.
**[09:35] Osanai**
Right.
**[09:36] Osanai**
According to neighbors, Rokuzou frequented
a large shop in Ginza called Kuraya.
**[09:43] Shizuma**
This shop looks quite fancy.
**[09:46] Osanai**
The owner, Kuraya Zenbei,
is a former samurai from Choushuu.
**[09:51] Osanai**
He's got friends high up in the government.
**[09:55] Osanai**
Apparently, he's been using those
connections to expand his business here.
**[09:59] Kawaguchi**
What may I do for you?
**[10:02] Osanai**
We'd like to ask you about a man named
Rokuzou, who comes here regularly.
**[10:07] Kawaguchi**
Rokuzou?
**[10:08] Kawaguchi**
Ah, the man who collects our waste.
**[10:12] Kawaguchi**
What about him?
**[10:14] Shizuma**
Is there anyone here who knows him well?
**[10:16] Kuraya**
Since when has my shop become
a gathering place for the police?
**[10:20] Kawaguchi**
Welcome back, Kuraya-sama.
**[10:23] Osanai**
May we ask for your cooperation
in our investigation?
**[10:26] Kuraya**
Don't speak in my shop without my
permission. Don't even breathe.
**[10:30] Kuraya**
You'll stink the place up with your breath.
**[10:33] Shizuma**
What was that?
**[10:35] Kuraya**
Get lost before I file a complaint
with the Metropolitan PD.
**[10:38] Osanai**
E-Excuse us!
**[10:43] Kawaguchi**
It seems Rokuzou has been captured.
**[10:46] Kuraya**
Dispose of him before it becomes a problem.
**[10:53] Hinazuru**
What is it, sir?
**[10:55] Hooded man**
We have an opportunity to get rid of
a crook and a lowlife with one blow.
**[10:58] Hinazuru**
Who?
**[10:59] Hooded man**
The crook is Kido Takayoshi, one of the
Three Great Nobles of the Restoration.
**[11:03] Hinazuru**
And the lowlife?
**[11:05] Hooded man**
Kuraya Zenbei, a government merchant...
**[11:08] Hooded man**
who formerly went by the
name of Kuramoto Masaomi.
**[11:19] Hinazuru**
Hiramatsu-sama...
**[11:22] Hooded man**
You're welcome to take your revenge.
**[11:35] Koume**
You look scary, Hinazuru-neesan.
**[11:38] Hinazuru**
Koume-chan.
**[11:40] Koume**
Are you going to kill someone again?
**[11:43] Hinazuru**
One can be *too* observant sometimes.
**[11:46] Koume**
I'll go with you.
**[11:49] Hinazuru**
I keep telling you, there is no reason for
you to get involved in my quest for revenge.

I saw that in the Metropolitan PD report...
Something about unhinged serial killers?
**[12:54] Kuraya**
"Unhinged killers"? How rude.
We prefer to be called "hunters."
**[12:58] Kido**
Are you telling me...
**[13:03] Kuraya**
I can't shake the habits
I picked up during the war.
**[13:06] Kido**
Do you really think you'll get away
with that in this new Meiji Era world?!
**[13:11] Kido**
What's this?
**[13:17] Kido**
A lot of familiar names.
**[13:19] Kido**
Are they all from Choushuu?
**[13:21] Kuraya**
That's the hunting club's roster.
**[13:24] Kuraya**
It's an exhaustive list of when
they killed, and how many.
**[13:27] Kido**
What?!
**[13:29] Kuraya**
When I get arrested,
I won't be going down alone.
**[13:32] Kuraya**
I'll be taking my old friends in their
high government positions with me.
**[13:38] Kido**
Is that a threat?
**[13:39] Kuraya**
It's a request!
**[13:41] Kuraya**
We fought together in the last days

**[17:17] Kuraya**
Perfect.
**[17:19] Kuraya**
Put the woman in the carriage.
**[17:23] Tanba**
About Officer Midorikawa's wounds...
**[17:25] Tanba**
Fortunately, after making it to the
hospital, he was able to hang on.
**[17:29] Osanai**
It was the man from
Kuraya's shop who shot him!
**[17:32] Osanai**
We should go arrest him and Kuraya Zenbei!
**[17:34] Tanba**
That won't happen. The Chief Superintendent
has ordered us to close the investigation.
**[17:38] Osanai**
Impossible!
**[17:40] Shizuma**
But why? They got one of our own!
**[17:43] Tanba**
I feel the same way you do,
but orders are orders.
**[17:50] Shizuma**
This is unacceptable!
**[17:52] Officer**
Hold him!
**[17:54] Shizuma**
Stop!
**[17:54] Shizuma**
Why's our investigation being shut down?!
**[17:56] Shizuma**
Are we going to let that murdering
lowlife Kuraya get away with this?!
**[18:00] Kido**
Kawaji-kun, your subordinates
are ill-disciplined.
**[18:04] Kawaji**
I apologize.
**[18:05] Kido**
You appear discontent with the
handling of the Kuraya Zenbei case.
**[18:09] Kido**
But this isn't a matter that one
individual officer can have a say in.
**[18:14] Kido**
Stand down.
**[18:15] Shizuma**
I protest!
**[18:16] Shizuma**
I don't care what your reason is.
**[18:18] Shizuma**
What's wrong is wrong!
**[18:20] Kido**
How dare you!
**[18:22] Kawaji**
Take him away!
**[18:26] Shizuma**
You bearded raccoon!
**[18:28] Shizuma**
I'm not done talking to you!
**[18:29] Osanai**
Give it a rest!
**[18:31] Osanai**
Not even Chief Superintendent Kawaji
can go against Councilor Kido.
**[18:34] Osanai**
If only Councilor Ohkubo were here,
he would have stopped this injustice...
**[18:39] Shizuma**
I'm going to Kuraya's mansion,
even if I have to go alone.
**[18:43] Makino**
He's not at his mansion. He's gone into hiding.
**[18:47] Shizuma**
You...
**[18:48] Shizuma**
You were Osanai-san's partner.
**[18:50] Makino**
Second-rank patrolman, Makino. The incident
with Mr. Iwakura was the last time we met.
**[18:54] Shizuma**
Do you know where Kuraya is?
**[18:56] Makino**
Yes. We're investigating him
on suspicion of corruption.
**[19:01] Makino**
Kuraya's holiday home.
This is where we suspect he is.
**[19:04] Osanai**
Thank you. We owe you one.
**[19:06] Makino**
You'll repay me someday.
**[19:08] Osanai**
The two of us will catch
that villain together!
**[19:11] Shizuma**
Right.
**[19:13] Moriya**
Fool!
**[19:16] Moriya**
What kind of yakuza gets screwed out of
money he lent?! You call yourselves lenders?!
**[19:21] Togura**
But boss, he's a foreigner.
It won't be that easy.
**[19:28] Kyoushirou**
Would you allow me to
take care of this situation?
**[19:31] Gotou**
Kindly keep your nose out of this.
**[19:34] Moriya**
All right.
**[19:35] Moriya**
Go get the money, and I'll make
you more than a bodyguard.
**[19:40] Moriya**
I'll pour your sake.
**[19:53] Kyoushirou**
Sorry to spoil the fun.
**[19:56] Kyoushirou**
Archibald King.
**[19:57] Kyoushirou**
It's time to repay what you owe
to the Moriya Clan. With interest.
**[20:03] A**
Who's this fool?
**[20:05] King**
He says he's here to collect his money.
**[20:07] King**
Sorry, I don't have any on me right now.
**[20:11] Kyoushirou**
Then, shall I get your wealthy fiancée
back home to pay in your stead?
**[20:16] King**
So you've read up on me, huh?
**[20:18] Kyoushirou**
I wonder what your fiancée would think
about you taking a courtesan as a mistress.
**[20:29] Kyoushirou**
Do you feel like paying now?
**[20:32] King**
You son of a bitch!
**[20:34] King**
Have some bullets instead!
**[20:40] Kyoushirou**
Pay back the money.
**[20:45] Kyoushirou**
Pay back... the money.
**[20:56] Kyoushirou**
Pay back... the money.
**[21:01] King**
I'll pay! I'll pay up!
**[21:04] King**
Just spare me! Spare me!
**[21:07] King**
I'll pay you! I'll pay you, dammit!
**[21:17] Kyoushirou**
Sake, please.
**[21:25] Kuraya**
Only one victim tonight.
**[21:27] Kuraya**
Let's take our time with her.
**[21:31] Kuraya**
For old times' sake.
**[21:44] Kuraya**
Drunk on blood, drunk on sake.
A feast on the battlefield is exquisite.
**[21:49] A**
Women! There are women here!
**[22:00] Sumie**
Yukino-san!
**[22:01] Yukino**
Go!
**[22:07] Kuramoto**
Looks like we have a lively one.
**[22:28] Sumie**
How could you!
**[22:30] Kuramoto**
What woman thinks she can point
a gun at Kuramoto Masaomi?
**[22:34] Sumie**
For Yukino-san!
**[22:37] Kuramoto**
You missed.
**[22:57] Hunter**
Run for your life if you don't want to die.
**[23:08] Osanai**
Did you hear that?!
**[23:09] Shizuma**
Gunfire. From the forest.
**[23:13] Hunter**
Is that it?
**[23:15] Hunter**
That was no fun.
**[23:16] Hunter**
I wish it could go on longer,
but this is the end.
**[23:20] Shizuma**
Found them!
**[23:24] Hunter**
What a fortunate development!
We have more prey!
**[23:28] Shizuma**
Get back. It's dangerous here.
**[23:30] Koume**
O-Okay!
**[23:34] Osanai**
Shit! Shit! Shit!
**[23:40] Osanai**
Thanks. You saved me.
**[23:44] Shizuma**
Here.
**[23:45] Osanai**
Right!
**[23:47] Shizuma**
Now, come!
**[23:56] Osanai**
Can you still fight?
**[23:58] Shizuma**
We're just getting started.
**[24:01] Shizuma**
Take off your masks, you cowards!
**[24:04] Shizuma**
Or are you too ashamed of
your deeds to show yourselves?
**[24:08] Kuraya**
Your bark is quite loud for someone
who's struggling just to stand.
**[24:13] Shizuma**
Kuraya.
**[24:15] Shizuma**
Why are you doing this?
**[24:16] Kuraya**
Why else? Because it's fun!
**[24:21] Kuraya**
In the war, we learned the
joys of kidnapping and killing.
**[24:24] Kuraya**
I simply can't forget that ecstasy!
**[24:27] Kuraya**
Die!
**[24:29] Osanai**
Look out!
**[24:30] Osanai**
Now, Origasa!
**[24:46] Osanai**
Looks like this is it.
**[24:49] Shizuma**
We need to at least give
the girl a chance to escape.
**[24:56] Tanba**
Drop your weapons and surrender!
**[24:59] Shizuma**
Chief Inspector Tanba!
**[25:00] Osanai**
Wasn't the investigation called off?
**[25:02] Tanba**
Chief Superintendent Kawaji
contacted Councilor Ohkubo
**[25:06] Tanba**
and got permission to
resume the investigation.
**[25:09] Shizuma**
Not bad, bearded raccoon.
**[25:25] Koume**
This rabbit...
**[25:26] Shizuma**
What about it?
**[25:28] Koume**
It looks like the ones I used to make.
**[25:31] Shizuma**
Really? You can fold those?
**[25:35] Kuraya**
It's not over yet!
**[25:37] Kuraya**
There are plenty more
of us in the government.
**[25:40] Kuraya**
I'll be out in no time—
**[25:42] Shizuma**
What?!
**[25:44] Officer**
Look out!
**[25:44] Officer**
Which direction?!
**[25:57] Hinazuru**
I'm not missing a second time.
**[26:28] Kido**
I'll be resigning to take
responsibility for this incident.
**[26:32] Kido**
I'm counting on you to
take care of the rest.
**[26:34] Ohkubo**
We'll take care of the
hunting club in secret.
**[26:38] Ohkubo**
The government mustn't
lose the trust of the people.
**[26:41] Kido**
I hear there's one more on the loose.
**[26:45] Ohkubo**
Not to worry.
**[26:47] Ohkubo**
I've taken care of that problem.

Anyone who is confident in
their sword skills may enter.
**[00:57] Man**
Win that prize money!
**[01:00] Man**
We start the day off with a special act!
**[01:07] Kyoushirou**
Kumoi-sensei, if you please.
**[01:10] Kumoi**
Right.
**[01:11] Man**
First up, we have the owner of the Kirindou,
the most prestigious dojo in Kamigata:
**[01:16] Man**
Kumoi Kirinmaru!
**[01:32] Man**
Next, we have the elegant
swordswoman, Nakazawa Koto!
**[01:36] Kyoushirou**
Nakazawa-sensei, something
spectacular, if you would.
**[01:39] Koto**
Hm, what should I do?
**[01:49] Drunk A**
Check out this fine, fair-skinned man.
**[01:51] Drunk B**
He looks like an actor.
**[01:53] Drunk C**
You dimwits. That's a woman.
**[01:57] Koto**
Would you mind if I borrowed that?
**[01:59] Koto**
And...
**[02:00] Koto**
Would you men be interested
in helping me out?
**[02:05] Koto**
Now, all at once, please.
**[02:23] Koto**
Oh, you flatter me.
**[02:25] Man**
So it's 50 sen if you want to come watch
the Japan Gekkenkai fencing tournament!
**[02:30] Man**
You'd better be standing at this gate.
Pawn your wife if you have to!
**[02:41] Shizuma**
I can't.
**[02:42] Shizuma**
I can't beat a puppy to death.
**[02:46] Kamejirou**
You look like you're
having fun, Shizuma-san.
**[02:48] Shizuma**
Don't be stupid. This is a trial.
**[02:51] Kamejirou**
A trial?
**[02:52] Shizuma**
I'm being punished for defying orders.
Work without pay for 20 days.
**[02:56] Shizuma**
It's rough for someone on 6 yen a month.
**[02:59] Kamejirou**
I heard you did some good work, though.
**[03:01] Shizuma**
That's the reason I wasn't fired.
**[03:03] Kamejirou**
So now you're stuck
destroying stray dogs?
**[03:06] Kamejirou**
I don't envy you.
How's the search for your fiancée going?
**[03:10] Shizuma**
I ran into a geisha that folds rabbits.
**[03:13] Kamejirou**
So then...
**[03:15] Shizuma**
It wasn't Sumie.
**[03:26] Shizuma**
Who taught you how to make those?
**[03:31] Koume**
I'm sorry. I don't remember.
**[03:34] Shizuma**
Was it this girl?
**[03:39] Koume**
I don't... think so.
**[03:43] Kamejirou**
So back to square one, huh?
**[03:46] Shizuma**
No. That geisha, Koume, is hiding something.
**[03:49] Shizuma**
She lied because I'm with the police.
**[03:52] Shizuma**
Koume's address.
**[03:54] Shizuma**
Would you mind trying
to get some info out of her?
**[03:57] Kamejirou**
Sure thing.
**[03:58] Shizuma**
Thanks.
**[04:00] Shizuma**
Hey! Hold it!
**[04:04] Shizuma**
Where'd it go?
**[04:06] Osanai**
Origasa, is that you?
**[04:07] Shizuma**
Officer Osanai. Officer Midorikawa.
**[04:11] Shizuma**
You two are able to move around already?
**[04:13] Midorikawa**
As long as I don't overdo it.
**[04:15] Osanai**
And I'm just fine!
We Satsuma men are tough!
**[04:20] Shizuma**
What are you two doing here?
**[04:22] Osanai**
We're investigating
last night's sword attack.
**[04:25] Shizuma**
Sword attack?
**[04:26] Midorikawa**
If you believe this old man
who says he saw it.
**[04:29] Osanai**
But the victims' bodies
are nowhere to be found.
**[04:32] Shizuma**
You sure it's not just
a drunkard's nonsense?
**[04:35] Old man**
I remember now!
**[04:36] Old man**
The attacker had *two* swords!
**[04:38] Midorikawa**
Sure, sure. So Miyamoto
Musashi's our guy, huh?
**[04:42] Old man**
Dunno. Too dark to see his face.
**[04:46] Osanai**
This is ridiculous.
Let's head back to the station.
**[04:50] Shizuma**
Dog! There you are!
**[05:05] Moriya**
This is half, is it?
**[05:06] Fujishima**
The rest is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
**[05:12] Fujishima**
Our master will send this opium
overseas and earn us untold sums.
**[05:18] Fujishima**
It's practically alchemy.
**[05:19] Moriya**
We ought to sell it domestically, too.
**[05:22] Fujishima**
I suggested that myself,
but I was reprimanded.
**[05:27] Fujishima**
The earnings from the opium
are for the Great Plan.
**[05:31] Moriya**
Ideals are all well and good,
but they don't put food on the table.
**[05:35] Moriya**
Why don't the two of us do it ourselves?
I'll handle the dirty work.
**[05:40] Fujishima**
We'd be in grave trouble
if the master found out.
**[05:43] Fujishima**
We ought not to for now.
**[05:45] Fujishima**
For *now*.
**[05:49] Hinazuru**
For some time now,
there has been a discrepancy
**[05:52] Hinazuru**
between the opium in the ledger
and the opium we have received.
**[05:55] Hiramatsu**
Fujishima must be holding on to some.
Moriya must also be involved.
**[06:00] Hinazuru**
Those two aren't trustworthy.
We ought to take action.
**[06:04] Hiramatsu**
Leave them be. They will not betray us
while they still have a use for me.
**[06:08] Hiramatsu**
I need them as well.
**[06:10] Hinazuru**
But we cannot allow them to get
ideas and hamper the Great Plan.
**[06:17] Hiramatsu**
Then, take them down a notch.
**[06:20] Hinazuru**
Sir.

**[06:22] Shizuma**
I heard a corpse turned up after that.
**[06:25] Osanai**
Thanks to the hand we found, we knew
he was telling the truth about the attack.
**[06:30] Osanai**
We searched the river nearby
and found the corpse of a man.
**[06:34] Shizuma**
Any clues as to who he was?
**[06:36] Midorikawa**
His name was Tachibana Youjirou.
**[06:39] Midorikawa**
Seems he was a famous
gekken fencer in the Hikone area.
**[06:41] Shizuma**
I'm surprised you found
all that out so quickly.
**[06:44] Mitsu**
Here you are.
**[06:47] Mitsu**
He had an invitation to an event
called the Japan Gekkenkai tournament.
**[06:51] Osanai**
It was all smudged,
but we managed to read it.
**[06:54] Tanba**
The Gekkenkai is the
talk of the town right now.
**[06:58] Shizuma**
I thought it was banned in Tokyo.
**[07:01] Osanai**
Last year, yeah.
**[07:02] Osanai**
So the Japan Gekkenkai tournament
is being advertised as a play instead.
**[07:07] Tanba**
Tachibana was a talented swordsman,
invited to the event to give it prestige.
**[07:11] Tanba**
He might have been taken out by
a participant after the prize money.
**[07:15] Shizuma**
Sounds plausible.
**[07:17] Tanba**
Which is why we want you, Officer Origasa,
to participate in the tournament undercover.
**[07:24] Shizuma**
Got it.
**[07:26] Shizuma**
My meal!
**[07:28] Osanai**
Origasa! You haven't destroyed it yet?
**[07:31] Shizuma**
I can't possibly destroy it
after its help in this case.
**[07:37] Brandt**
What brings you here today?
**[07:39] Ohkubo**
I wished to reminisce
about the past with you, sir.
**[07:42] Brandt**
Oh? The past, huh?
**[07:45] Ohkubo**
In 1868, a man from the Shounai Domain,
which was as much a threat to the Court as Aizu,
**[07:52] Ohkubo**
apparently spoke with
your country in secret
**[07:55] Ohkubo**
in an attempt to turn
the Boshin War in his favor.
**[07:58] Ohkubo**
Were you aware of this?
**[08:00] Brandt**
Quite impossible.
***SIGN*** General Consul of the North German Federation
Max von Brandt
**[08:02] Brandt**
All foreign nations, including my own,
have declared neutrality in the conflict.
**[08:08] Ohkubo**
So you claim you were never aligned with
either the imperial army or its opponents.
**[08:14] Brandt**
Indeed, indeed.
**[08:16] Ohkubo**
Minister Brandt, do you know a yakuza
by the name of Shuragami Kyoushirou?
**[08:21] Brandt**
A yakuza?
**[08:23] Brandt**
I have no such acquaintances.
**[08:26] Ohkubo**
This Shounai Domain soldier sailed to
your country with a large amount of gold
**[08:32] Ohkubo**
to buy cutting-edge weaponry
during the Boshin War.
**[08:35] Ohkubo**
His real name is Ikegami Souichirou.
**[08:40] Brandt**
Doesn't ring a bell.
**[08:42] Brandt**
You surely do not *believe* such
nonsense, do you, Mr. Ohkubo?
**[08:57] Kawaji**
Mr. Ohkubo, how did it go?
**[08:59] Ohkubo**
It seems the rumor about Ikegami Souichirou
and the gold was not entirely baseless.
**[09:06] Kawaji**
We'll investigate further immediately.
**[09:08] Ohkubo**
As ever, please be discreet.
**[09:11] Kawaji**
Yes, sir.
**[09:12] Kawaji**
I know just the man for it.
**[09:18] Parks**
You look indistinguishable from a
European dressed like that, Miss Kurogi.
**[09:23] Parks**
Is your father's blood to thank for that?
**[09:28] Senri**
Not that it makes me happy.
**[09:30] Parks**
So what did Ohkubo talk to Brandt about?
**[09:34] Senri**
Nothing, really.
**[09:36] Senri**
They chatted merrily
about wine the whole time.
**[09:39] Parks**
They must have nothing better to do.
**[09:41] Senri**
And what about you?
What are you doing, sir?
**[09:44] Parks**
A friend back home and I are
challenging each other to riddles.
**[09:48] Senri**
Well, well. That *does* sound urgent.
**[09:51] Parks**
May I pick your brain for a moment?
**[09:53] Parks**
Which is heavier:
the rising sun or the setting sun?
**[09:56] Senri**
Am I being paid for this?
**[10:01] Parks**
The setting sun.
**[10:03] Senri**
But why? It is the same sun either way.
**[10:06] Parks**
The setting sun sinks.
**[10:16] Senri**
Those are beautiful roses, Mr. Miller.
**[10:19] Miller**
I do not recall having
an appointment with you.
**[10:22] Senri**
That's quite the greeting.
**[10:23] Senri**
Most men would be ecstatic
to have a beautiful woman talk to them.
**[10:27] Miller**
That is not in my schedule, either.
**[10:30] Senri**
I bet your notebook is full
of all kinds of boring plans.
**[10:34] Senri**
Why not pencil in something a little
riskier and more exciting for once?
**[10:38] Miller**
Miss Kurogi, do you have any red paint?
**[10:41] Senri**
Of course not.

**[10:51] Senri**
So change your schedule.
**[10:59] Miller**
A schedule is a promise to my future self.
**[11:04] Miller**
It is absolute.
**[11:19] Senri**
What in the world are you doing?
**[11:32] Miller**
Done.
**[11:43] Miller**
The Gekkenkai.
**[11:45] Miller**
I shall add it to my schedule.
**[12:00] Koume**
Hinazuru-neesan... Where are you?
**[12:04] Koume**
How could you leave without me?
**[12:10] Koume**
Kuro!
**[12:12] Koume**
Kuro!
**[12:16] Kamejirou**
Is this who you're looking for?
**[12:19] Koume**
I've met you somewhere before.
**[12:22] Kamejirou**
I'm Kamejirou. The rickshaw driver.
**[12:30] Midorikawa**
Already practicing for the Gekkenkai, huh?
**[12:33] Shizuma**
I don't want to be knocked out
in the middle of the investigation.
**[12:36] Shizuma**
How is it on your end?
**[12:37] Midorikawa**
The victim, Tachibana,
was apparently drinking at a pub
**[12:40] Midorikawa**
with a man missing his pinky finger.

Doesn't look like an upstanding

**[12:47] Midorikawa**
Probably.
**[12:48] Midorikawa**
A maid says the man had been paid by him.
**[12:53] Shizuma**
What does that mean?
**[12:54] Hinazuru**
Beats me.
**[12:56] Hinazuru**
Oh, also...
**[12:57] Hinazuru**
I'm going to be undercover in
the Gekkenkai preliminaries, too.
**[13:01] Hinazuru**
See you there.
**[13:02] Hinazuru**
Ow! Ow!
**[13:05] Shizuma**
Will you be all right?
**[13:13] Moriya**
It seems people are excited
about the Gekkenkai.
**[13:16] Moriya**
Looks like I made the right decision
putting you in charge.
**[13:20] Kyoushirou**
Thank you.
**[13:21] Moriya**
Assuming it works out, I will be known
all over Japan as the greatest boss around.
**[13:27] Moriya**
I can already picture
the faces of the losers.
**[13:30] Moriya**
All those peddlers and gamblers
wasting time on an outdated business.
**[13:34] Togura**
We do have a bit of a problem, though.
**[13:37] Togura**
The flood of swordsmen coming
onto our turf for the prize money
**[13:41] Togura**
is causing trouble in our inns
and gambling parlors.
**[13:44] Moriya**
It's your job to deal with that.
**[13:48] Togura**
They have katanas, though.
**[13:51] Moriya**
Kyoushirou.
**[13:53] Kyoushirou**
Leave it to me.
**[13:56] Dealer**
I will now cover the die.
**[14:01] Dealer**
Place your bets.
**[14:02] Gamblers**
Odd!
**[14:02] Gamblers**
Even!
**[14:04] Tamura**
Quite a few new faces today.
**[14:06] Murata**
Must be starving former samurai
in Tokyo for the Gekkenkai.
**[14:09] Murata**
There's 500 yen on the line, after all.
**[14:12] Murata**
Man, if only I knew the first thing
about swordsmanship...
**[14:15] Dealer**
Deal.
**[14:17] Dealer**
Two fours. Even.
**[14:20] Komasa**
This is fraud!
**[14:22] Dealer**
You mustn't jest, sir.
**[14:25] Komasa**
You might get two,
maybe even three evens in a row.
**[14:29] Komasa**
But *four?* Something's wrong here.
**[14:32] Gotou**
You!
**[14:34] Gotou**
Whose turf do you think
you're running your mouth on?
**[14:36] Gotou**
Get lost before you get hurt.
**[14:40] Komasa**
What do you think you can do?
**[14:45] Komasa**
You've drawn.
**[14:55] Gotou**
A cane blade?
**[14:57] Tamura**
Did you see that?
**[14:59] Murata**
That was a lightning fast draw!
**[15:02] Gotou**
You're going to pay for this.
**[15:04] Komasa**
What, with pocket money?
**[15:06] Gotou**
Don't bullshit me!
**[15:09] Komasa**
How amusing.
**[15:22] Gotou**
Kyoushirou!
**[15:24] Kyoushirou**
You must leave your sword with us, sir.
**[15:28] Murata**
Did you see *that?* He stopped his draw!
**[15:31] Tamura**
Obviously!
**[15:32] Tamura**
Kyoushirou-san's a yakuza among yakuza!
**[15:36] Komasa**
You're the first person
who has ever stopped my dosu blade.
**[15:39] Kyoushirou**
In light of that, may I ask you
to back down for the time being?
**[15:43] Komasa**
Sorry, but you've got me
*really* interested now.
**[15:47] Takarai**
Um, are you two done yet?
**[15:50] Komasa**
What?
**[15:50] Takarai**
My luck's in right now.
Go practice your swordplay elsewhere.
**[15:59] Komasa**
Have you been betting even this whole time?
**[16:02] Takarai**
Yup. I'm on a winning streak.
**[16:06] Komasa**
I'm no longer in the mood.
**[16:07] Komasa**
Let's settle this at the Gekkenkai.
I'll crush you in front of a full house.
**[16:12] Kyoushirou**
I accept.
**[16:14] Minagawa**
That one-eyed man is bad news.
**[16:16] Hinazuru**
Yes.
**[16:26] Kyoushirou**
Who was that man?
**[16:33] Komasa**
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[16:35] Komasa**
He's quite impressive.
**[16:37] Rinzou**
I need to send that asshole to hell!
**[16:39] Rinzou**
I don't know how else I'm going
to face the Douyamas when I pass.
**[16:43] Komasa**
You've got nothing to worry about,
now that I'm out of the slammer.
**[16:47] Komasa**
I'll settle things.
**[16:51] Hiramatsu**
It's a letter from Brandt.
**[16:53] Hiramatsu**
Do you know of a Shuragami
Kyoushirou of the Moriya Clan?
**[16:58] Hinazuru**
He is one of their new men.
**[17:00] Hinazuru**
If we are to reduce the Moriya Clan's
forces, we should start with him.
**[17:04] Hiramatsu**
What does he look like?
**[17:05] Hinazuru**
He sees with his left eye,
and wears a patch over his right.
**[17:09] Hiramatsu**
I did not expect him to still be alive.
**[17:11] Hiramatsu**
Ikegami Souichirou.
**[17:13] Hinazuru**
You are aware of him?
**[17:14] Hiramatsu**
A ghost of the past.
**[17:16] Hiramatsu**
I doubt it is a coincidence that
he stumbled into the Moriya Clan.
**[17:20] Hiramatsu**
He must be after my head.
**[17:22] Hinazuru**
I will quickly dispose of this
one-eyed man who opposes you.
**[17:29] Hiramatsu**
If it really is Ikegami,
that will not be easy.
**[17:32] Hiramatsu**
Contact the Crow.
**[17:46] Shizuma**
There.
**[18:04] Tsushima**
What a fantastic gig. We're getting
paid just to be rocked in a boat.
**[18:08] Shioya**
There has to be a reason it's so good.
**[18:10] Shioya**
I bet the cargo's full of contraband.
**[18:14] Shioya**
All the other escorts look
more than just a little sketchy.
**[18:21] Tsushima**
Look at their goofy outfits.
**[18:29] Tsushima**
W-We're under attack!
**[18:32] Tsushima**
Show yourself!
**[18:37] Gentsugu**

make it more entertaining?
**[18:40] Dario**
Just keep quiet and watch.

I need money.
**[19:53] Makino**
Money, huh?
**[19:55] Makino**
I don't have any on me right now, sadly.
**[19:58] Osanai**
My sister back home is acutely ill.
I need a ton of money.
**[20:02] Osanai**
Could you introduce me to a lender?
**[20:04] Makino**
I wish I could help, but...
**[20:07] Makino**
I can't think of anyone who'd lend
that much to a lowly patrolman.
**[20:12] Osanai**
I promise I'll pay you back!
I'll do anything!
**[20:16] Osanai**
Please!
**[20:20] Makino**
I understand you care about your sister.
**[20:24] Makino**
I do know of a way
we can make a lot of money.
**[20:27] Osanai**
How?
**[20:30] Makino**
By fighting villains.
**[20:32] Makino**
Slaying evil that law can't touch.
**[20:34] Osanai**
But that's murder!
**[20:36] Makino**
For there to be justice,
someone has to do it.
**[20:40] Makino**
Will you lend me a hand?
**[20:42] Osanai**
But...
**[20:43] Makino**
You want to help your sister, don't you?
**[20:45] Makino**
We can earn a lot for the bounty.
**[20:50] Makino**
I won't force you.
Just give it some thought.
**[21:01] Tsunekichi**
Gekkenkai competitors, please complete
your registration for the preliminaries.
**[21:07] Shizuma**
Pretty big turnout. We could make
tsukudani with all these swordsmen.
**[21:11] Midorikawa**
No one wielding two swords just yet.
**[21:19] Shizuma**
That man...
**[21:20] Raigan**
Move it!
**[21:21] Raigan**
Make way!
**[21:24] Shizuma**
How dare you!
**[21:26] Raigan**
What? Don't you know who I am?
**[21:29] Shizuma**
No, I don't!
**[21:30] Midorikawa**
That's Raigan! Raigan Kajigorou!
**[21:32] Midorikawa**
He was forced to retire from sumo
after killing three opponents.
**[21:36] Midorikawa**
The freakishly strong killer wrestler.
**[21:39] Raigan**
Want your neck twisted, too?
**[21:41] Shizuma**
You wanna go?
**[21:45] Koto**
Settle it in the arena.
**[21:47] Raigan**
Who the heck are you?
**[21:49] Shizuma**
Some chick.
**[21:51] Shizuma**
Piss off.
**[21:58] Raigan**
Pathetic wimp.
**[22:01] Koto**
Raigan Kajigorou.
**[22:03] Koto**
The referee called for you. Better hurry
if you don't want to lose by default.
**[22:06] Raigan**
Guess I'm up.
**[22:09] Shizuma**
What do you think you're doing?
**[22:11] Koto**
Is that how you talk to your savior?
**[22:15] Shizuma**
Who do you think saved whom?
**[22:25] Referee**
Winner: Raigan Kajigorou!
**[22:29] Shizuma**
He didn't even use his wooden sword?
**[22:31] Koto**
That could have been you
if I hadn't stopped you.
**[22:35] Koto**
You'd better thank me.
**[22:37] Shizuma**
What's *her* problem?
**[22:39] Midorikawa**
She's the Shinchougumi member
who became famous in Edo
**[22:42] Midorikawa**
at the end of the Edo shogunate,
Nakazawa Koto.
**[22:45] Midorikawa**
A swordswoman who participated
in the razing of the Satsuma mansion,
**[22:49] Midorikawa**
which triggered the Boshin War.
**[22:50] Midorikawa**
She's one of the tournament favorites.
**[22:54] Shizuma**
I'm surprised you know all that.
**[22:56] Midorikawa**
I looked up the most notable contestants.
**[22:59] Referee**
Oritani! Oritani Shizuya!
**[23:01] Midorikawa**
You're up.
**[23:02] Shizuma**
Oh, right. I forgot
I signed up under an alias.
**[23:05] Midorikawa**
Remember, you're undercover.
**[23:07] Midorikawa**
Got it, Oritani-san?
**[23:09] Shizuma**
Yeah!
**[23:12] Referee**
May it be a fair fight!
**[23:13] Referee**
Begin!
**[23:23] Shizuma**
Your gaze is too honest.
I can see exactly what you're up to.
**[23:26] Shizuma**
You've never killed anyone, have you?
**[23:39] Referee**
Winner: Oritani Shizuya!
**[23:48] Kumoi**
Nakazawa-kun, I was hoping
to fight you in the finals.
**[23:53] Kumoi**
To think we'd meet in the preliminaries...
**[23:55] Koto**
The brackets were chosen by lottery.
**[23:57] Kumoi**
It's unfortunate that
we don't have a gallery.
**[24:00] Kumoi**
But I'll have you repay me
for the special act now.
**[24:03] Koto**
Huh? Did I do something?
**[24:07] Referee**
May it be a fair fight!
**[24:09] Referee**
Begin!
**[24:11] Kumoi**
I'll make sure no one gazes
upon your beautiful face again!
**[24:18] Kumoi**
I-Impossible!
**[24:20] Referee**
Winner: Nakazawa Koto!
**[24:25] Referee**
Winner: Oritani Shizuya!
**[24:28] Midorikawa**
Impressive. Looks like you're in the finals.
**[24:31] Shizuma**
What about you?
**[24:32] Midorikawa**
Knocked out immediately.
**[24:34] Shizuma**
Oh, come on now.
**[24:35] Midorikawa**
I was focused on trying to find our suspect.
**[24:38] Midorikawa**
The assailant must
have been quite skilled.
**[24:40] Midorikawa**
He should have made it
through the preliminaries easily.
**[24:43] Midorikawa**
The most skilled fighter here is...
**[24:45] Midorikawa**
Raigan Kajigorou.
**[24:47] Midorikawa**
But he wasn't the assailant.
**[24:49] Midorikawa**
If he had been, the witness would've noticed
how huge he was before the two swords.
**[24:54] Referee**
Winner: Blaze Miller!
**[24:56] Miller**
Exactly on time.
**[24:58] Midorikawa**
Blaze Miller is also quite capable,
but he's a foreigner and fights with a spear.
**[25:03] Midorikawa**
The most suspicious is the invitee
who's favorite to win, Nakazawa Koto.
**[25:09] Midorikawa**
We don't know she can dual-wield, though.
**[25:11] Midorikawa**
The next most suspicious
is Takarai Koutarou,
**[25:15] Midorikawa**
whose opponents all imploded
one way or another.
**[25:18] Midorikawa**
He's suspiciously lucky.
**[25:19] Midorikawa**
If he's up to something behind the scenes,
the attack may have been part of it.
**[25:25] Midorikawa**
We need to keep an eye on
Yoshikawa Fuyukichi, too.
**[25:27] Midorikawa**
His strikes are unbelievably fast.
He's no ordinary man.
**[25:31] Midorikawa**
And there's Fujita Goro.
**[25:32] Midorikawa**
He made it through the
preliminaries without any fanfare.
**[25:36] Midorikawa**
It's like he's hiding his true mettle.
**[25:39] Midorikawa**
Lastly, what surprised me most
is *that* man is in the tournament.
**[25:42] Shizuma**
Which man?
**[25:54] Referee**
Winner: Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[25:59] Shizuma**
The one-eyed man.
**[26:12] Shizuma**
It's been a while, one-eyed sir.
**[26:14] Kyoushirou**
You're also looking well.
**[26:22] Moriya**
It looks like the cast has arrived.
**[26:25] Referee**
Announcing the Gekkenkai finals bracket!
**[26:30] Referee**
Match one: Raigan Kajigorou
versus Oritani Shizuya!
**[26:36] Referee**
Match two: Blaze Miller
versus Nakazawa Koto!
**[26:42] Referee**
Match three: Takarai Koutarou
versus Fujita Goro!
**[26:48] Referee**
Match four: Yoshikawa Fuyukichi
versus Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[26:55] Referee**
The finals are in two days.
**[26:57] Referee**
It will be an elimination contest
between these eight contestants.
**[27:00] Referee**
Dismissed!

**[00:00] Gentsugu**
The king has yet to make a move.
**[00:04] Gu'en**
The standard move here would be to
force the rook and bishop out into play.
**[00:08] Gu'en**
Use this.
**[00:11] Kyoushirou**
How is Fujishima doing?
**[00:13] Gu'en**
He's been cautious since the shooting.
**[00:17] Kyoushirou**
Good. I'll deal with Moriya.
**[00:20] Dario**
First, he puts you in charge of the
Gekkenkai, and now, this inn...
**[00:24] Dario**
He must really trust you.
**[00:27] Gu'en**
Everyone staying here is a
swordsman in the Gekkenkai.
**[00:30] Gu'en**
Taking care of them is part of our job.
**[00:33] Gentsugu**
I never anticipated the need
to participate myself, though.
**[00:37] Kyoushirou**
That's just how it worked out.
It is what it is.
**[00:44] Dario**
Oh, it's just a lizard.
**[00:47] Dario**
Don't scare me like that, Gu'en.

He's so strong.

It does not mean much
if he cannot hit him.
**[02:26] Shizuma**
You're open!
**[02:30] Raigan**
Did you see a mosquito?
**[02:32] Shizuma**
Seriously? That did nothing?
**[02:34] Referee**
Hold it!
**[02:36] Dealer**
At the moment, they're evenly matched.

We are all well-prepared.
**[03:26] Fujita**
I am always ready. No objections.
**[03:28] Miller**
No problem.
**[03:34] Senri**
Won't it be a problem if someone dies?
**[03:38] Moriya**
It's not a problem money can't fix.
**[03:39] Man A**
Raigan!
**[03:40] Woman A**
Oritani!
**[03:41] Man B**
Raigan! Raigan!
**[03:42] Dealer**
Raigan's still getting more bets.
**[03:44] Takarai**
Oritani!
**[03:46] Takarai**
I'm betting all I've got.
**[03:48] Man D**
You can't be serious.
**[03:49] Takarai**
*True* gamblers go against the wind.
**[03:53] Referee**
In that case, let the contest resume!
**[04:18] Osanai**
Their swords broke!
**[04:30] Osanai; Midorikawa**
Origasa!
**[04:37] Raigan**
They call me the killer
sumo wrestler for a reason.
**[04:39] Raigan**
It's ten years too soon
for you to be challenging me!
**[04:44] Shizuma**
It's a little early to be declaring victory.
**[04:48] Raigan**
Damn coffin dodger.
**[04:50] Raigan**
You would've survived
if you'd stayed down.
**[04:53] Raigan**
I'll beat you to death!
**[05:00] Raigan**
You're challenging me to a sumo match?
**[05:03] Raigan**
Fool. It's futile.
**[05:05] Shizuma**
They may call you the killer sumo wrestler,
**[05:07] Shizuma**
but they call *me* the oni killer!
**[05:21] Referee**
Winner: Oritani Shizuya!
**[05:35] Koume**
Please let me see Hinazuru-neesan again.
**[05:39] Koume**
There's still something I need to tell her.
**[05:42] Kamejirou**
That officer, Origasa Shizuma...
**[05:45] Kamejirou**
He's looking for his fiancée.
**[05:48] Koume**
His fiancée?
**[05:49] Kamejirou**
Someone named Kanomata Sumie.
**[05:52] Kamejirou**
I think she's the person who
taught you how to fold that rabbit.
**[06:00] Koume**
Where are you, sister?
**[06:03] Woman**
I'm sorry. All our rooms have been
booked by the Gekkenkai participants.
**[06:10] Dario**
To the east: Blaze Miller!
***SIGN*** Moriya
**[06:16] Shizuma**
I feel like I've met you somewhere before.
**[06:19] Fujita**
It's your imagination.
**[06:20] Shizuma**
Is it?
**[06:22] Dario**
To the west: Nakazawa Koto!
**[06:30] Osanai**
She's so popular.
**[06:32] Midorikawa**
She's pretty, with
top-notch swordsmanship.
**[06:34] Midorikawa**
She's the top suspect in the attack case.
**[06:38] Miller**
I was planning to finish
this contest in five minutes.
**[06:41] Miller**
But we're starting a minute late.
**[06:45] Senri**
He's looking as persnickety as ever.
**[06:47] Dealer**
The knockout or the outlander? Who will win?
**[06:50] Moriya**
The outlander will win.
No woman stands a chance.
**[07:03] Dealer**
How about one more bet, mister?
**[07:06] Takarai**
Things are starting to look a bit iffy.
**[07:08] Takarai**
I'm closing shop for today.
**[07:11] Referee**
Match two!
**[07:13] Referee**
May it be a fair fight!
**[07:18] Shizuma**
A spear has a much farther
reach than a katana.
**[07:21] Shizuma**
The spear's got an overwhelming advantage.
**[07:36] Osanai**
He's so fast with that spear!
**[07:38] Midorikawa**
This contest's already...
**[07:39] Miller**
Time for victory.
**[07:49] Shizuma**
No!
**[07:50] Miller**
Just as planned. She can't escape in midair.
**[07:54] Miller**
Victory is mine!
**[08:06] Koto**
Yikes. That was close.
**[08:09] Miller**
My schedule...
**[08:12] Senri**
Who do you think will win?
**[08:15] Kyoushirou**
The foreigner looks to have
an advantage with his spear.
**[08:17] Senri**
Though I wonder if he can think
straight when he's so hotheaded.
**[08:22] Kyoushirou**
Good observation.
**[08:23] Senri**
I'm a journalist.
**[08:25] Senri**
I'd like to hear about you, too.
**[08:28] Senri**
I have permission from your boss.
**[08:31] Kyoushirou**
If I have time.
**[08:33] Miller**
I need to save every minute,
every second I can!
**[08:40] Shizuma**
His attacks have gotten sloppier.
**[08:43] Shizuma**
If she can find an opening...
**[08:46] Shizuma**
she can win.
**[09:01] Shizuma**
Two swords!
**[09:05] Miller**
Defeat is not in my plans.
**[09:15] Koto**
I thought so.
**[09:17] Referee**
Winner: Nakazawa Koto!
**[09:25] Shizuma**
She's impressive.
**[09:27] Gotou**
You should not be so amused.
You face her next.
**[09:33] Shizuma**
That's right!
**[09:44] Osanai**
So cold!
**[09:45] Midorikawa**
It's pouring down!
**[09:46] Kyoushirou**
We will stop for today.
**[09:48] Senri**
Looks like we have time now.
**[09:50] Referee**
We are ending the tournament for the day!
**[10:02] Geisha**
You shouldn't drink so much, mister.
It'll affect your match tomorrow.
**[10:08] Takarai**
I ain't losing!
**[10:10] Takarai**
I'm the luckiest man in Japan, after all.
**[10:12] Takarai**
Not even the Seven Gods of Fortune
are a match for my good luck!
**[10:18] Senri**
Where were you born, Kyoushirou-san?
**[10:20] Senri**
Where were you before
you joined the Moriya Clan?
**[10:24] Kyoushirou**
What is the point in asking these things?
They have nothing to do with the Gekkenkai.
**[10:28] Senri**
That's how interviews are.
**[10:31] Tsunekichi**
Brother, shall I pour you some tea?
Or would you prefer sake?
**[10:35] Hinazuru**
Pardon me.
**[10:37] Hinazuru**
I have brought you some sake.
**[10:40] Kyoushirou**
I never asked for any.
It must be for another room.
**[10:43] Hinazuru**
It is a gift for the participants
of the Gekkenkai tournament.
**[10:48] Tsunekichi**
That's perfect.
**[10:50] Hinazuru**
Well then, enjoy.
**[10:54] Tsunekichi**
Please, drink up.
**[10:56] Tsunekichi**
I will, too.
**[11:04] Senri**
Poison?
**[11:15] Senri**
Somebody, bring water! Call a doctor!
**[11:29] Koto**
Are you ever going to stop following me?
**[11:32] Shizuma**
You caught me.
**[11:34] Koto**
What do you want?
**[11:36] Koto**
Wait. Let me guess.
**[11:38] Koto**
A marriage proposal?
**[11:40] Shizuma**
No!
**[11:40] Koto**
Don't be so shy. It happens often.
**[11:44] Koto**
I'm sorry, though.
**[11:45] Koto**
I have no intention of marrying
anyone who isn't stronger than me.
**[11:50] Shizuma**
I said it wasn't that.
**[11:53] Koto**
Are those people with you?
**[11:55] Shizuma**
Hm? I didn't bring anyone with me.
**[11:59] Kumoi**
Nakazawa Koto.
**[12:01] Kumoi**
We are here for revenge!
**[12:08] Koto**
Stand back.
**[12:09] Shizuma**
Those fools.
**[12:20] Koto**
He's practically a sumo wrestler.
**[12:22] Koto**
Where's your belt?
**[12:25] Shizuma**
Nakazawa Koto,
there's something I want to ask you.
**[12:28] Koto**
My, oh my. Men are so
keen to know everything.
**[12:32] Koto**
If you wish to ask me questions,
you will have to defeat me in the next match.
**[12:37] Koto**
I shall answer all of your questions then.
**[12:40] Koto**
I will even become your bride.
**[12:42] Koto**
Excuse me.
**[12:45] Shizuma**
What's up with her?
**[12:52] Osanai**
It's going to take forever to get inside.
**[12:55] Midorikawa**
It's because you slept in.
**[13:07] Shizuma**
Fujita Goro...
**[13:09] Shizuma**
I swear I've met him somewhere.
**[13:12] Referee**
Match three!
**[13:14] Referee**
May it be a fair fight!
**[13:18] Shizuma**
A sickle and chain? How cowardly.
**[13:21] Komasa**
How is it cowardly?
**[13:23] Shizuma**
If that weight hits your head,
it's instant death.
**[13:28] Shizuma**
And the chain...
**[13:29] Shizuma**
Once it's wrapped around
your sword, you can't attack.
**[13:32] Shizuma**
Or worse, he might steal it from you.
**[13:35] Shizuma**
In an arena without obstructions,
it's a real problem.
**[13:44] Takarai**
Close one!
**[13:51] Takarai**
Lucky again.
**[13:54] Gu'en**
You're lucky you didn't
ingest much poison.
**[13:59] Gu'en**
You seem to have recovered quite a bit.
**[14:01] Dario**
Who could have done
such a thing? And why?
**[14:03] Gu'en**
I wonder.
**[14:05] Gu'en**
Perhaps someone after the prize money.
Or someone completely unrelated.
**[14:12] Kyoushirou**
I'm not dying here.
**[14:15] Kyoushirou**
I have business to take care of.
**[14:22] Senri**
Nothing even close to gold.
**[14:47] Takarai**
Give it up.
**[14:48] Takarai**
No matter how skilled you are,
you'll never be a match for my good luck.
**[15:00] Komasa**
And it's over.
**[15:01] Komasa**
The sickle and chain wins.
**[15:03] Shizuma**
No. Look at Fujita's eyes.
**[15:05] Shizuma**
He hasn't given up yet.
**[15:08] Shizuma**
That's it! I remember now.
**[15:13] Takarai**
Die!
**[15:18] Takarai**
What?
**[15:22] Takarai**
Impossible.
**[15:25] Takarai**
I'm the luckiest man in Japan.
**[15:35] Referee**
Winner: Fujita Goro!
**[15:41] Fox Mask**
Who are these men?
**[15:43] Fujishima**
Two hitmen we hired.
**[15:45] Fujishima**
We need to be ready
for the traitors' attack.
**[15:49] Fox Mask**
We know who it was?
**[15:52] Fujishima**
There was a haori jacket belonging to
the Moriya Clan near the site of the attack.
**[15:56] Fujishima**
I'm almost certain they're behind it.
**[15:59] Fujishima**
The Gekkenkai is no doubt just
a way of finding skilled fighters, too.
**[16:03] Fujishima**
And if that's how they want to play it...
**[16:08] Fujishima**
Those are all of my men who
know about the opium exports.
**[16:19] Fujishima**
We no longer need
to worry about spies.
**[16:23] Komasa**
What's wrong? Hungover?
**[16:25] Komasa**
I won't earn any bragging rights for
killing someone who's off his game.
**[16:30] Kyoushirou**
Such banal pride.
**[16:32] Shizuma**
I never thought I'd meet you here.
**[16:35] Shizuma**
It's been since Tsuruga Castle.
**[16:39] Gorou**
I have forgotten the past.
Don't get chummy with me.
**[16:42] Shizuma**
You're so cold.
**[16:43] Referee**
Match four!
**[16:45] Referee**
May it be a fair fight!
**[16:52] Moriya**
That's the guy who cut off
our henchmen's fingers, huh?
**[16:57] Gotou**
Yes. He's small, but he has
an incredibly fast draw.
**[17:03] Moriya**
I'll bet.
**[17:04] Gotou**
You know about him?
**[17:06] Moriya**
That man is a renowned yakuza.
**[17:09] Moriya**
The infamous Shimizu Komasa
of the Jirouchou Clan.
**[17:13] Moriya**
I didn't expect to see
such a character here.
**[17:17] Komasa**
Shuragami Kyoushirou, why did you
attack the Douyama Clan?
**[17:21] Kyoushirou**
Are you here to avenge them?
**[17:24] Komasa**
I'm just honoring a yakuza's duties.
**[17:27] Komasa**
I was in their care in the past.
**[17:31] Kyoushirou**
I see.
**[17:32] Komasa**
You don't smell like a yakuza.
**[17:36] Komasa**
Just who are you?
**[17:38] Kyoushirou**
I couldn't say.
**[17:40] Moriya**
The faster sword will win this match.
We won't have time to blink.
**[17:45] Gotou**
Komasa's draw isn't just fast.
It's powerful, too.
**[17:49] Gotou**
What's your move, one-eye?
**[18:10] Komasa**
What?
**[18:13] Shizuma**
Two swords.
**[18:23] Referee**
Winner: Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[18:27] Osanai**
Origasa.
**[18:29] Shizuma**
Did you see that?
**[18:30] Midorikawa**
Yeah.
**[18:30] Midorikawa**
Shuragami Kyoushirou
might be the attacker.
**[18:32] Shizuma**
Let's keep an eye on him.
**[18:34] Osanai**
Wait.
**[18:34] Osanai**
Origasa, you focus on Nakazawa Koto.
**[18:37] Osanai**
We can't say for sure that
she isn't the attacker yet.
**[18:42] Midorikawa**
That man...
***SIGN*** Police
Sketch
**[18:44] Midorikawa**
It's definitely him.
**[18:47] Osanai**
Where are you going, Midorikawa?
**[18:49] Midorikawa**
Officer Osanai, take care of Shuragami.
**[18:52] Komasa**
I'm sorry. I made an error.
**[18:59] Rinzou**
Don't "I'm sorry" me!
**[19:01] Rinzou**
You're just like Tachibana!
**[19:03] Rinzou**
You ain't worth shit!
**[19:06] Rinzou**
Gimme back the money I gave you!
**[19:09] Rinzou**
Ow, ow, ow! Who the hell are you?
**[19:12] Midorikawa**
Why don't you tell me more about that?
**[19:19] Makino**
Hang on.
**[19:21] Osanai**
Officer Makino.
**[19:25] Makino**
Why were you tracking
Shuragami Kyoushirou?
**[19:27] Osanai**
I'm investigating that attack.
He's one of the suspects.
**[19:31] Makino**
I see.
**[19:33] Makino**
I can see him being behind it.
**[19:35] Osanai**
You know something about him?
**[19:38] Makino**
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[19:40] Makino**
He's the villain
I've been hired to hunt down.
**[19:44] Makino**
Tomorrow.
**[19:46] Makino**
Tomorrow, I'll kill him on
his way to the Gekkenkai.
**[19:49] Osanai**
T-Tomorrow?
**[19:50] Makino**
We'll drop the hammer of justice.
**[19:53] Makino**
I need your help.
**[19:54] Osanai**
But...
**[19:55] Makino**
You need money for your sister, right?
**[19:59] Hinazuru**
Shuragami is alive?
**[20:00] Minagawa**
He's a stubborn one.
**[20:02] Hinazuru**
I will kill him with my own hands.
**[20:05] Minagawa**
Not necessary.
**[20:06] Minagawa**
Our master has also
ordered the Crow to kill him.
**[20:09] Hinazuru**
He cannot be serious.
I will take care of him myself.

**[20:14] Osanai**
Origasa, are you up?
**[20:18] Shizuma**
What is it?
**[20:20] Osanai**
When justice and the law are at odds,
which do you think should be upheld?
**[20:27] Shizuma**
Where is this coming from?
**[20:31] Osanai**
Never mind.
**[20:33] Osanai**
Get some sleep.
**[20:38] Shizuma**
Justice is an uncertain beast.
**[20:41] Shizuma**
The justice I believed in got flipped
on its head during the Restoration.
**[20:46] Shizuma**
I learned the hard way.
**[20:49] Osanai**
Then, it's the law that needs to be upheld.
**[20:52] Shizuma**
Some laws are bad laws.
**[20:54] Shizuma**
It's not absolute.
**[20:56] Osanai**
Then...
**[20:57] Osanai**
What do we uphold?
**[20:58] Shizuma**
Beats me. Maybe there are
no certainties in this world.
**[21:05] Shizuma**
Though, as long as you act for
the sake of what you hold dear,
**[21:09] Shizuma**
you won't have any regrets.
**[21:11] Osanai**
What I hold dear...
**[21:15] Shizuma**
I'm going to sleep.
**[21:16] Shizuma**
I'm fighting Nakazawa Koto tomorrow.

**[00:11] Koto**
Oritani Shizuya!
**[00:13] Koto**
You didn't give it your all, you cur.
**[00:16] Shizuma**
What's this all of a sudden?
**[00:17] Koto**
You lost our match
on purpose, didn't you?
**[00:25] Shizuma**
Your sword was quicker than mine.
**[00:27] Shizuma**
That's all there is to it.
**[00:29] Koto**
You could have cut flesh and bone
with your brute strength.
**[00:34] Koto**
Why did you hold back?
**[00:35] Shizuma**
Well, you did, too. You struck me
with the back of your sword.
**[00:39] Koto**
I came to compete in swordsmanship,
not to kill people!
**[00:46] Koto**
What's so funny?
**[00:48] Shizuma**
I knew it. You couldn't be the attacker.
**[00:52] Koto**
What are you talking about?
**[00:55] Shizuma**
My real name is Origasa Shizuma.
**[00:58] Shizuma**
I'm a police officer in Asakusa.
**[01:00] Shizuma**
I'm in the Gekkenkai undercover
to investigate an attack.
**[01:04] Koto**
An investigation?
**[01:06] Shizuma**
We thought you might be the murderer.
**[01:08] Shizuma**
I'm sorry for suspecting you.
**[01:12] Shizuma**
You are as honest as your sword.
**[01:17] Koto**
All right, fine. Forget it.
**[01:26] Midorikawa**
Something's happened!
**[01:29] Shizuma**
What's wrong, Officer Midorikawa?
**[01:33] Midorikawa**
It's Officer Osanai.
**[01:36] Midorikawa**
He's been killed.
**[01:48] Shizuma**
Who could have done this?
**[01:50] Tanba**
We're still investigating.
**[01:53] Tanba**
Interviews are being conducted in the area.
**[01:56] Midorikawa**
Chief Tanba.
**[02:06] Shizuma**
Officer Makino.
**[02:09] Shizuma**
Officer Osanai is...
**[02:13] Shizuma**
I need to find his attacker.
**[02:15] Shizuma**
And by my hand—
**[02:16] Makino**
You'll arrest him?
**[02:18] Makino**
Or something else?
**[02:21] Makino**
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[02:23] Makino**
According to witnesses, it was Shuragami
Kyoushirou who killed Officer Osanai.
**[02:32] Referee**
We hereby resume the Gekkenkai!
**[02:37] Referee**
To the east, Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[02:44] Referee**
To the west... Huh?
**[02:46] Shizuma**
Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[02:49] Shizuma**
I have a question for you!
**[02:51] Koto**
What's he doing?
**[02:53] Kyoushirou**
You took your turn, did you not?
**[02:55] Shizuma**
Did you kill Osanai-san?
**[02:57] Referee**
You! Step down from the stage.
**[03:00] Shizuma**
Did you do it?!
**[03:01] Kyoushirou**
The man from Satsuma?
**[03:03] Kyoushirou**
I disposed of him earlier.
**[03:04] Shizuma**
You wretch!
**[03:13] Koto**
That bloodlust...
It's like he's a different person.
**[03:27] Fujita**
You are fighting the wrong person.
**[03:33] Shizuma**
Fujita.
**[03:34] Fujita**
Stay out of my way.

**[03:55] Koto**
Finally awake, huh?
You were out for two whole days.
**[04:02] Koto**
Don't move about.
You'll open your wounds.
**[04:07] Koto**
Why did you jump in like that?
**[04:10] Shizuma**
To avenge my friend.
**[04:14] Koto**
Shuragami would have lopped your
head off if Fujita hadn't intervened.
**[04:21] Shizuma**
What happened after?
**[04:23] Koto**
Shuragami lost to Fujita.
**[04:26] Koto**
He must have been spent
after fighting you.
**[04:30] Shizuma**
I see.
**[04:32] Koto**
And I, Nakazawa Koto, stood victorious.
**[04:37] Shizuma**
Right. By the way, why are you here?
**[04:40] Koto**
You'll get yourself in trouble
if I don't stop you.
**[04:43] Shizuma**
That's not your problem.
**[04:44] Koto**
I made a decision.
**[04:47] Koto**
Origasa Shizuma,
I shall make you my apprentice.
**[04:52] Shizuma**
What?
**[04:53] Moriya**
Now, drink up, one and all!
**[04:57] Moriya**
We made a heap of money from the Gekkenkai!
**[05:00] Gotou**
And we wouldn't have even had to pay
the prize money if *someone* hadn't lost.
**[05:06] Moriya**
Well, this is better than having people
think we fixed it so one of our own won.
**[05:11] Moriya**
That aside, Gotou,
how's construction going?
**[05:15] Gotou**
Well, as of late, we're rather short-staffed
for some reason, and we're behind schedule.
**[05:21] Moriya**
Fool! It's *your* job to
make sure it stays on track!
**[05:27] Moriya**
Hey, Kyoushirou. Go help him out.
**[05:30] Gotou**
Hold on, boss! I'll get this project
done on my own. I don't need help!
**[05:34] Moriya**
Then hurry up and get it done!
**[05:37] Gotou**
Yes, sir.
**[05:42] Gotou**
Get off your asses, all of you!
**[05:45] Gotou**
Hurry up and get to work!
**[05:51] Gotou**
Wh-What is this?
**[05:57] Fujishima**
The opium we lost seems to be
coming out of the Honjo Fukagawa area.
**[06:03] Fox Mask**
By whose hand?
**[06:04] Fujishima**
A foolish question.
That area is Moriya Clan turf.
**[06:09] Fox Mask**
Shall we retaliate?
**[06:11] Fujishima**
Of course.
**[06:12] Fujishima**
It is why I have kept you around.
**[06:16] Fujishima**
I shall be putting you to good use.
**[06:18] Fox Mask**
Sir.
**[06:24] Kyoushirou**
How did it go?
**[06:26] Gentsugu**
We have sown the seeds of discord well.
**[06:29] Gentsugu**
Moriya and Fujishima will soon clash.
**[06:32] Kyoushirou**
All that is left is to wait.
**[06:35] Kyoushirou**
Prepare to greet our new
comrades in the meantime.
**[06:40] Gentsugu**
Mm-hm.
**[07:02] Senri**
Huh.
**[07:12] Godou**
Who's there?
**[07:15] Godou**
You need not be afraid.
**[07:18] Godou**
I am a mere biwa-playing priest,
as you can see.
**[07:24] Godou**
A woman? A rarity, indeed.
**[07:27] Godou**
No one comes up here.
Most find it too disturbing.
**[07:31] Senri**
I see. The perfect place to hide something.
**[07:36] Godou**
Were you brought here
by the rumor of a ship?
**[07:40] Senri**
A ship?
**[07:42] Godou**
I will guide you to the others.
**[08:02] Senri**
What is this gathering?
**[08:04] Godou**
The people here lost their place in
society following the Restoration.
**[08:09] Godou**
The abolition of Buddhism has stripped these
monks of their ability to serve the Buddha,
**[08:14] Godou**
forcing them to return to a secular life.
**[08:16] Godou**
Masseurs and those like myself also have
nowhere to go after the Toudouza disbanded.
**[08:22] Godou**
In our destitution, we heard a rumor.
**[08:26] Godou**
About a place that would accept us.
**[08:31] Gentsugu**
Well met, my compatriots,
abandoned by the times.
**[08:37] Gentsugu**
The promised ship
will arrive in several days.
**[08:40] Gentsugu**
I will not call its destination heaven,
but all can live there without judgment.
**[08:53] Ohkubo**
How fares the investigation on the gold?
**[08:56] Kawaji**
We are currently hard at work.
**[08:58] Ohkubo**
Our country has no money.
**[09:01] Ohkubo**
And yet, our government
continues to pay exorbitant sums
**[09:05] Ohkubo**
to former samurai who
contribute nothing to the nation.
**[09:11] Ohkubo**
We are at our limit.
**[09:13] Ohkubo**
But what do you suppose will
happen if we suddenly stop paying?
**[09:16] Kawaji**
I expect there will be uprisings of
former samurai throughout the nation.
**[09:21] Ohkubo**
If we had gold, we could buy time.
**[09:24] Ohkubo**
We *must* find it, no matter what.
**[09:27] Moriya**
Opium is spreading on our turf?
**[09:30] Gotou**
Our laborers are useless as a result.
**[09:34] Moriya**
Damn. Fujishima, that bastard.
**[09:36] Moriya**
He's started doing business
without my permission!
**[09:40] Henchman A**
The heck is that?
**[09:49] Togura**
What was *that?*
**[09:50] Moriya**
The revenge of the cows?
**[09:53] Henchman A**
It's dead.
**[09:54] Henchman A**
It's dead, sir!
**[09:55] Moriya**
Damn thing gave me a scare.
**[09:57] Moriya**
Put out that fire!
**[10:01] Moriya**
Who is this?
**[10:02] Togura**
Damn louse!
**[10:03] Togura**
Get him!
**[10:08] Togura**
Son of a bitch!
**[10:10] Gotou**
Get the boss out of here!
**[10:11] Togura**
Outside, sir!
**[10:18] Moriya**
No...
**[10:23] Gotou**
What the...
**[10:26] Billy**
Mr. Fujishima sends his gratitude.
**[10:29] Moriya**
Gotou!
**[10:31] Togura**
Bastard!
**[10:35] Togura**
Boatman, get us out of here!
**[10:44] Fox Mask**
This job pays well. It would be
a shame for it to end here.
**[10:56] Kyoushirou**
Who are you?
**[11:05] Hinazuru**
I was sent to keep you company.
**[11:14] Kyoushirou**
I was told no such thing.
**[11:16] Kyoushirou**
Leave.
**[11:18] Hinazuru**
I would be scolded.
**[11:21] Hinazuru**
Please, do what you will.
**[11:38] Kyoushirou**
I figured as much.
**[11:41] Kyoushirou**
Who sent you?
**[11:44] Hinazuru**
Kill me.
**[11:59] Kyoushirou**
You appear to be terminally ill.
**[12:02] Hinazuru**
I may not see another day.
**[12:04] Hinazuru**
If you killed me now,
I would have no regrets.
**[12:08] Kyoushirou**
Then I have no reason to kill you.
**[12:11] Kyoushirou**
Go wherever you wish.
**[12:13] Henchman B**
Brother Kyoushirou, come quick!
**[12:18] Kyoushirou**
What is it?
**[12:19] Henchman B**
The boss has been attacked!
**[12:23] Moriya**
Fujishima, that senile asshole.
Who does he think he's dealing with?
**[12:28] Moriya**
We won't take this lying down.
**[12:31] Moriya**
We will *destroy* them. Prepare yourselves!
**[12:34] All**
Sir!
**[12:45] Hinazuru**
Shizuma-san...
**[12:47] Hinazuru**
Your Sumie will be joining you soon.
**[12:49] Koume**
Hinazuru-neesan.
**[12:56] Koume**
I knew I'd see you someday if I kept
coming here. I finally found you.
**[13:00] Hinazuru**
Why were you so eager?
**[13:02] Koume**
I must tell you something. Your fiancé...
**[13:05] Koume**
Origasa Shizuma-san is alive.
**[13:15] Midorikawa**
Officer Origasa! Are you sure
you should be up and about?
**[13:18] Shizuma**
How's the investigation going?
**[13:20] Shizuma**
Have you arrested the man
who killed Osanai-san?
**[13:23] Midorikawa**
Well...
**[13:25] Shizuma**
We're off the Osanai case? What's going on?
**[13:29] Tanba**
The Metropolitan Police will
carry out the investigation directly.
**[13:32] Tanba**
The murder of an officer is a big deal.
**[13:35] Shizuma**
Has the murderer been arrested?
**[13:37] Tanba**
They seem to have their eyes set
on a certain Shuragami Kyoushirou,
**[13:41] Tanba**
but he hasn't been brought in yet.
They must have some kind of plan.
**[13:47] Shizuma**
What's going on?
**[13:49] Shizuma**
I don't get it.
**[13:51] Midorikawa**
There's something else
that doesn't make sense.
**[13:54] Midorikawa**
About that other attack...
**[13:55] Midorikawa**
We got to the bottom of it after
catching the yakuza in the police sketch.
**[14:00] Midorikawa**
He'd hired a hitman to
take revenge on someone.
**[14:06] Shizuma**
A hitman?
**[14:08] Midorikawa**
The man who was murdered,
Tachibana Youjirou.
**[14:11] Midorikawa**
He wasn't a victim.
**[14:13] Midorikawa**
Tachibana himself was the attacker.
**[14:24] Midorikawa**
But he was killed in the attempt.
**[14:28] Midorikawa**
By Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[14:31] Midorikawa**
It was self-defense,
but he *did* kill a man.
**[14:35] Midorikawa**
We've been trying to
catch him to interrogate him.
**[14:39] Shizuma**
Not the other attack, too?
**[14:41] Midorikawa**
The Metropolitan Police Department
have taken over. It's out of our hands.
**[14:45] Shizuma**
So anything to do with
Shuragami Kyoushirou
**[14:48] Shizuma**
is being held by the
Metropolitan Police Department?

**[15:08] Shizuma**
Why are we not arresting the attacker?!
**[15:10] Kawaji**
A patrolman doesn't
need to know everything.
**[15:14] Kawaji**
You're injured. Focus on your recovery.
**[15:17] Shizuma**
You've got to be kidding!
My friend was *murdered!*
**[15:19] Kawaji**
Shuragami Kyoushirou is involved in an
important case, so we're letting him roam free.
**[15:24] Kawaji**
That's all I can tell you.
**[15:26] Shizuma**
That's not good enough.
**[15:27] Kawaji**
Do not interfere in this incident!
That's an order!
**[15:31] Shizuma**
I can't go along with an order
like that! He was one of us...
**[15:35] Shizuma**
If it's a police officer's job to stay quiet
when his friend's been murdered,
**[15:38] Shizuma**
then I'm *done* with the police!
**[15:42] Hiramatsu**
It seems Moriya and
Fujishima are at odds.
**[15:45] Minagawa**
Several people have already died.
**[15:48] Hiramatsu**
To think they would attack each other
before thinking of betraying me...
**[15:52] Hiramatsu**
Greed must have gone their heads.
**[15:54] Minagawa**
Also, the Crow has contacted us.
**[15:56] Minagawa**
The assassination of Shuragami
Kyoushirou has ended in failure.
**[16:00] Hiramatsu**
I see.
**[16:01] Hiramatsu**
He may be the one plotting
all of this behind the scenes.
**[16:06] Hiramatsu**
Maybe we ought to set a trap.
**[16:14] Togura**
Get ready, all of you!
**[16:22] Kyoushirou**
What business do you have here?
**[16:24] Fujita**
I was told there was a fight.
I am here to sell my services.
**[16:28] Fujita**
I failed to win the prize money, after all.
**[16:30] Kyoushirou**
You don't want to get involved in a
yakuza fight. Your katana will grieve.
**[16:36] Kyoushirou**
Besides...
**[16:37] Kyoushirou**
The fight won't happen.
**[16:41] Minagawa**
Please let me see your boss.
**[16:45] Minagawa**
A message from the master:
**[16:47] Minagawa**
"Infighting is futile and unproductive.
Cease immediately."
**[16:53] Togura**
Screw that!
**[16:56] Minagawa**
If you refuse to stand down,
**[16:59] Minagawa**
the master will send his own men
to deal with you instead.
**[17:02] Minagawa**
Your response?
**[17:04] Moriya**
I don't trust the Fujishima,
but if the master insists...
**[17:09] Moriya**
I guess we have no choice.
**[17:11] Minagawa**
Very well.
**[17:13] Minagawa**
The cessation ceremony will be held at a
later date, in the presence of the master.
**[17:21] Gentsugu**
The king finally shows himself.
**[17:23] Dario**
Just as we planned, huh?
**[17:25] Kyoushirou**
It will be even more
dangerous going forward.
**[17:29] Gentsugu**
But first, let us send off our compatriots.
**[17:33] Kyoushirou**
Convey this message to the captain.
**[17:48] Gentsugu**
Captain, I'm leaving our new
compatriots in your care.
**[17:53] Nadaemon**
Aren't you coming with us?
**[17:55] Gentsugu**
I intend to spend the rest of
my time traveling with Kyoushirou.
**[18:00] Nadaemon**
You sure are loyal.
**[18:02] Gentsugu**
I have a message from Kyoushirou.
**[18:04] Gentsugu**
If something happens to him,
please take care of El Dorado.
**[18:11] Sailor**
Wh-Who are you?
**[18:16] Nadaemon**
After her, after her!
**[18:20] Nadaemon**
Don't even bother resisting!
**[18:29] Senri**
Fujita Goro?
**[18:31] Fujita**
We should run.
**[18:33] Senri**
Who are you, anyway?
What are you doing here?
**[18:36] Fujita**
The same as you, I suspect, Kurogi Senri.
**[18:40] Senri**
How do you know my name?
**[18:41] Fujita**
I know you.
**[18:43] Fujita**
You are a British spy, correct?
**[18:45] Senri**
Occasionally. I'm not working
for anyone right now.
**[18:49] Fujita**
Do you intend to take
the gold for yourself?
**[18:52] Fujita**
You seem to have found
nothing in the old temple.
**[18:54] Senri**
Do you make a habit of
chasing tail, dear colleague?
**[18:59] Fujita**
Where does that ship sail to?
**[19:02] Senri**
Who knows? Maybe to
where the gold is hidden.
**[19:08] Senri**
You're an agent for the
Metropolitan Police Department, right?
**[19:11] Senri**
Just don't get in my way.
**[19:13] Fujita**
She's a sharp one.
**[19:20] Moriya**
You're a lowly merchant. You wouldn't
hesitate to sell out your own for money.
**[19:26] Fujishima**
You yakuza love to
make unfounded accusations.
**[19:29] Fujishima**
You were the ones who attacked first.
**[19:31] Moriya**
What did you say?
**[19:33] Hiramatsu**
Enough.
**[19:34] Moriya**
Master!
**[19:36] Hiramatsu**
To fight amongst yourselves
is the height of stupidity.
**[19:40] Hiramatsu**
You fell right into the enemy's hands.
**[19:42] Moriya**
Enemy?
**[19:43] Fujishima**
Who do you speak of?
**[19:45] Hiramatsu**
The charade is over,
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[19:49] Hiramatsu**
Or...
**[19:51] Hiramatsu**
Should I call you Ikegami Souichirou?
**[19:55] Kyoushirou**
We finally meet, Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[19:59] Moriya**
E-Explain yourself, Kyoushirou.
**[20:02] Hiramatsu**
This was all a ploy by him to
draw me out into the light.
**[20:11] Kyoushirou**
If you knew, why did you show yourself?
**[20:16] Hiramatsu**
To send you back to hell.
**[20:21] Hiramatsu**
You must have thought you had
caught me in your trap. I am sorry.
**[20:24] Hiramatsu**
Kill him.
**[20:33] Kyoushirou**
Prepare yourself!
**[20:38] Fujishima**
You don't know what you're dealing with!
**[20:56] Kyoushirou**
Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[20:58] Kyoushirou**
You will feel...
**[20:59] Kyoushirou**
my rage!
**[21:15] Gu'en**
Oh no, you don't!
**[21:20] Kyoushirou**
Gu'en!
**[21:28] Kyoushirou**
Hang in there!
**[21:29] Gentsugu**
They got Gu'en.
**[21:30] Dario**
How could you!
**[21:33] Dario**
Where are they?
**[21:37] Billy**
You have nowhere to hide, Robin Hood.
**[21:40] Gentsugu**
Fire this in front of the Gatling gun.
**[21:43] Dario**
They'll shoot first!
**[21:45] Gentsugu**
Do it or Kyoushirou will die.
**[21:47] Gentsugu**
Gu'en's death will have been in vain.
**[21:49] Dario**
This is ridiculous.
**[21:50] Billy**
Come out, come out.
**[21:56] Billy**
You're mine.
**[21:58] Gentsugu**
Now!
**[22:17] Gentsugu**
I can't use my smoke in this wind.
**[22:19] Dario**
I'm out of arrows.
**[22:29] Fujita**
Jump on!
**[22:47] Billy**
Looks like we're out of a job.
**[22:50] Hiramatsu**
I will hire you.
**[22:52] Hiramatsu**
To take them down.
**[22:54] Moriya**
Just a minute!
**[22:58] Moriya**
That traitor...
**[23:01] Moriya**
I'll kill him!

You're one of Moriya's goons, aren't you?
**[00:12] Goon**
Who the hell are you?
**[00:14] Shizuma**
Where is Shuragami Kyoushirou?
**[00:16] Goon**
Dunno.
**[00:19] Koto**
This man has a short fuse.
You had best speak up before you get hurt.
**[00:24] Goon**
I-I really don't know!
**[00:26] Goon**
We're after that damn traitor, too!
**[00:28] Shizuma**
What?
**[00:42] Kyoushirou**
Why did you help me?
**[00:44] Fujita**
It seemed you needed it.
**[00:49] Fujita**
I have a habit of intervening.
**[00:56] Kyoushirou**
Are you joining our group?
**[00:59] Fujita**
I think this sword would grieve
if it got involved in a yakuza fight.
**[01:04] Kyoushirou**
Spare me.
**[01:06] Kyoushirou**
Besides, the true enemy isn't a yakuza.
**[01:12] Fujita**
You seem to have your reasons.
**[01:14] Fujita**
I am putting my life on the line.
You will have to tell me everything.
**[01:19] Kyoushirou**
Very well.
**[01:20] Gentsugu**
Are you really letting him join us?
**[01:22] Dario**
You're joking!
There's no *way* we can trust him.
**[01:25] Kyoushirou**
We will need a skilled sword
if we wish to face Hiramatsu's forces.
**[01:30] Fujita**
Is that the name of our target?
**[01:35] Kyoushirou**
Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[01:37] Kyoushirou**
It was six years ago that we first met.
**[01:40] Kyoushirou**
Right at the outset of the Boshin War.

**[03:08] Saigou**
We need a new enemy.

Aizu and Shounai.
**[03:14] Saigou**
Those two domains should make
for good enemies of the state.
**[03:18] Kido**
It is a perfect opportunity for revenge.
**[03:22] Ohkubo**
No objections here.
**[03:23] Saigou**
Well, then let us continue with our war.
**[03:29] Munenori**
What a surprise.
**[03:31] Munenori**
Who would have imagined the leader of
the Aizu Domain would be a foreigner?
**[03:35] Hiramatsu**
I have been granted the name
Hiramatsu Buhei,
**[03:39] Hiramatsu**
as well as authority as a
military advisor by Aizu's leadership.
**[03:44] Hiramatsu**
Like yours, my heart is that of a samurai.
**[03:47] Munenori**
So what is this business that must be
kept secret from the Shounai domain?
**[03:50] Hiramatsu**
A plan for fighting the army of thugs
**[03:54] Hiramatsu**
that have declared themselves
the new government.
**[03:57] Souichirou**
Our domain already uses Western training
techniques and cutting-edge firearms.
**[04:02] Souichirou**
Anyone who dares to encroach on
Shounai land will meet their demise.
**[04:08] Hiramatsu**
I appreciate your gusto, but you fail
to see the reality of the situation.
**[04:12] Souichirou**
How dare you!
**[04:13] Munenori**
Contain yourself, Souichirou.
**[04:16] Souichirou**
But, Father...
**[04:17] Hiramatsu**
The war extends beyond the Sounai domain.
**[04:20] Hiramatsu**
To fight such a formidable enemy,
**[04:23] Hiramatsu**
we will need the forces of
the Tohoku domains to join us.
**[04:26] Munenori**
But many of the Tohoku domains
still use old weaponry.
**[04:31] Munenori**
Would they truly be a match
for this new government?
**[04:34] Hiramatsu**
There are measures we can take.
**[04:36] Hiramatsu**
Brandt, sir.
***SIGN*** Consul of the Kingdom of Prussia in Japan
Max von Brandt
**[04:43] Brandt**
Prussia will secretly
provide military assistance.
**[04:47] Souichirou**
You would defy the agreement
among the Western powers
**[04:51] Souichirou**
not to get involved
until the end of the war?
**[04:53] Souichirou**
The true purpose of the neutrality
agreement is to prevent other countries
**[04:58] Souichirou**
from trying to gain power by taking
advantage of Japan's internal strife.
**[05:02] Brandt**
But Britain already *has* influence
and has been assisting Satchou.
**[05:09] Brandt**
It is unfair for Prussia to be left out.
**[05:13] Souichirou**
I hope your intention
isn't to colonize Japan
**[05:16] Souichirou**
after encouraging its people
to fight themselves to exhaustion.
**[05:21] Hiramatsu**
A foolish insinuation.
**[05:23] Souichirou**
You dare to insult me?
**[05:24] Hiramatsu**
Mr. Munenori.
**[05:26] Hiramatsu**
Your son seems to have become emotional
and cannot hold a rational conversation.
**[05:31] Munenori**
Leave your seat, Souichirou.
**[05:35] Munenori**
I appreciate the assistance,
**[05:37] Munenori**
but Aizu and the other Tohoku domains
do not have the money to buy weapons.
**[05:42] Brandt**
It would cost at least five million ryo to
prepare warships and modern weapons.
**[05:48] Munenori**
Five million ryo?
**[05:50] Hiramatsu**
Worry not.
**[05:52] Hiramatsu**
I have an alternative plan.
**[06:01] Munenori**
We will reach Prussia soon.
**[06:04] Souichirou**
Was this really the right choice?
**[06:06] Souichirou**
I cannot see a foreign nation
supporting us without some ulterior motive.
**[06:10] Munenori**
We have no other choice.
The lord has also approved.
**[06:13] Souichirou**
But that man, Hiramatsu Buhei,
does not seem trustworthy.
**[06:21] Bismarck**
Thank you for coming all this way.
***SIGN*** Minister President of Prussia
Bismarck
**[06:23] Bismarck**
Brandt has informed me of the situation.
**[06:27] Bismarck**
As promised, as a country,
we will fully support you in exchange
**[06:30] Bismarck**
for the cession of the Ezo area.
**[06:32] Munenori**
Cession?
**[06:33] Munenori**
Do you not mean a lease?
**[06:36] Bismarck**
I was told it would be a cession.
**[06:40] Munenori**
I was under the impression that Ezo,
currently in the hands of Aizu and Shounai,
**[06:45] Munenori**
would be leased to Prussia for 50 years
in exchange for five million ryo in gold.
**[06:52] Bismarck**
That is not what I was told.
**[06:54] Hiramatsu**
A cession will be fine.
**[06:56] Munenori**
Hold it! That would be
selling Japanese land!
**[06:58] Munenori**
That would never be acceptable!
**[07:01] Bismarck**
Then this discussion never happened.
**[07:08] Hiramatsu**
Mr. Ikegami, do you intend
to return empty-handed?
**[07:12] Hiramatsu**
The war has already begun!
**[07:14] Hiramatsu**
If we lose, we lose the domain itself!
**[07:18] Munenori**
I cannot make this decision myself.
**[07:21] Munenori**
We must ask for a decision from our lord.
**[07:23] Hiramatsu**
You are here with the whole of
the Shounai domain's authority.
**[07:27] Hiramatsu**
Make the decision, sir.
**[07:42] Souichirou**
Father, we will reach Hong Kong soon.
**[07:45] Munenori**
Do you want to drink with me?
**[07:47] Souichirou**
What's the matter? You have been acting
strange since your meeting with Bismarck.
**[07:57] Souichirou**
Isn't this the document containing
our secret agreement with Prussia?
**[08:01] Munenori**
Look inside.
**[08:03] Souichirou**
Are you sure?
**[08:10] Souichirou**
Unthinkable.
**[08:11] Souichirou**
You approved this?
**[08:13] Munenori**
I had no choice.
**[08:15] Souichirou**
Did Aizu... Did Hiramatsu approve it?
**[08:19] Munenori**
It was that man who plotted it all.
**[08:27] Souichirou**
You! What do you think you are doing?
**[08:30] Hiramatsu**
You look upset. What is it?
**[08:32] Hiramatsu**
I believe a samurai
should never lose his cool.
**[08:36] Souichirou**
A samurai would not sell out our nation!
**[08:39] Hiramatsu**
I see you have read the secret document.
**[08:41] Hiramatsu**
Without money, it is necessary
to pay by other means.
**[08:45] Souichirou**
It is not just the sale of Ezo.
**[08:47] Souichirou**
The document indicates the
Prussian army will join the battle.
**[08:51] Hiramatsu**
Victory calls for strong support.
**[08:55] Souichirou**
Is that what you told
my father to frame him?
**[08:57] Hiramatsu**
He signed because he agreed.
**[09:00] Hiramatsu**
Why not direct your anger
at your father instead?
**[09:04] Souichirou**
You...
**[09:08] Man**
Hiramatsu-sama!
**[09:10] Hiramatsu**
What is it?
**[09:11] Man**
We just received a telegraph!
**[09:12] Man**
The Aizu and Shounai domains have
surrendered to the new government!
**[09:18] Hiramatsu**
Th-The war... i-is over?
**[09:31] Munenori**
It was too late.
**[09:34] Munenori**
But perhaps it is for the best.
**[09:38] Munenori**
If we had brought the Prussian army with us,
**[09:41] Munenori**
the new government would have
requested backup from Britain.
**[09:44] Souichirou**
And Japanese land would have
been trampled by foreign soldiers.
**[09:47] Souichirou**
The war would have become
an endless nightmare.
**[09:51] Munenori**
It is all over.
**[09:53] Munenori**
We will have to discuss our response with
Mr. Hiramatsu before we return to Japan.
**[10:07] Souichirou**
What in the...
**[10:14] Souichirou**
Father!
**[10:17] Souichirou**
Stay with me! Father!
**[10:21] Souichirou**
Father!
**[10:25] Souichirou**
Hiramatsu Buhei!
**[10:27] Hiramatsu**
I must insist you die here.
**[10:32] Souichirou**
You killed my father and everyone else!
**[10:34] Hiramatsu**
If the new government were to learn
about this secret deal with Prussia,
**[10:39] Hiramatsu**
Aizu's reputation would crumble,
**[10:41] Hiramatsu**
and Katamori-sama would
be forced to commit seppuku.
**[10:47] Hiramatsu**
All would be plunged into darkness!
**[11:26] Souichirou**
Where am I?
**[11:32] Gentsugu**
Don't overdo it. You'll hurt yourself.
**[11:36] Gentsugu**
So, you're finally awake.
**[11:38] Gentsugu**
Drink this.
**[11:45] Gentsugu**
It will dull the pain.
Toughen up and drink.
**[11:48] Souichirou**
Thank you.
**[11:50] Gentsugu**
You should thank the captain.
He picked you up.
**[11:53] Captain**
Oh, so you survived, huh?
**[11:56] Captain**
You're a lucky man.
**[12:04] Gentsugu**
You seem quite vicious.
**[12:07] Gentsugu**
Is there someone you wish to kill?
**[12:10] Souichirou**
You're a priest, aren't you?
**[12:12] Souichirou**
Why are you out here?
**[12:14] Gentsugu**
I have nowhere to go right now.
**[12:18] Gentsugu**
I have some knowledge of medicine,
so I am playing doctor here.
**[12:23] Captain**
Hey, you!
**[12:24] Captain**
Help with the work
if you have strength to spare!
**[12:28] Captain**
I have no food for
anyone who doesn't work!
**[12:55] Souichirou**
Thanks for the help.
**[12:57] Captain**
Hey, buddy, if you have nowhere to go,
why don't you join our crew?
**[13:02] Souichirou**
I appreciate the offer,
but there is something I need to finish.
**[13:07] Captain**
Revenge for your right eye?
**[13:10] Souichirou**
Please excuse me.
**[13:12] Captain**
We'll be here for a few more days.
**[13:15] Captain**
Come back if you change your mind.
**[13:17] Man**
Make way!
**[13:19] Man**
Move, move.
**[13:20] Man**
Move it!
**[13:21] Man 2**
A Christian who landed at Nagasaki
as a stowaway, I heard.
**[13:25] Man 3**
He will be beaten to death unless
he renounces his religion, right?
**[13:28] Man 3**
Oh dear, oh dear.
**[13:32] Souichirou**
Has the *Loewe* set sail already?
**[13:34] Souichirou**
The Prussian ship.
**[13:35] Man**
Search me.
**[13:37] Souichirou**
You don't know, huh?
**[13:38] Official**
Hey, you!
**[13:40] Official**
That's right. You.
**[13:41] Official**
That crest is from the Shounai domain.
**[13:44] Official**
Are you an enemy of the state?
**[13:54] Man A**
Did you find him?
**[13:55] Man B**
No. We should look over there.
**[13:57] Man A**
Right.
**[14:04] Gu'en**
It's too early to relax.
**[14:07] Gu'en**
You're the one-eyed so-called "enemy of
the state" who hit that official, aren't you?
**[14:12] Souichirou**
Who are you?
**[14:14] Gu'en**
I'm a bounty hunter.
**[14:16] Gu'en**
I intend to turn you in and
make some booze money.
**[14:21] Souichirou**
You think it's going to be that easy?
**[14:23] Gu'en**
I'll give it a shot.
**[14:43] Man A**
What was that noise?
**[14:48] Gu'en**
Oh? You can still stand
after that hit?
**[14:52] Souichirou**
It's a fun trick.
**[14:54] Souichirou**
I wouldn't want to miss it.
**[14:56] Man C**
Found him!
**[14:58] Found D**
You, the suspicious man!
Do not resist arrest!
**[15:03] Gu'en**
Too bad. Looks like it's over.
**[15:13] Man A**
Hey.
**[15:14] Man A**
Let's go upstairs for a drink.
**[15:16] Man B**
Sounds good.
**[15:42] Souichirou**
Hey, can you move?
**[15:52] Souichirou**
What's wrong?
**[15:54] Souichirou**
Hey!
**[15:57] Souichirou**
We have no time to waste.
**[16:00] Souichirou**
Is that yours?
**[16:07] Man B**
The prisoners have escaped!
**[16:09] Souichirou**
I will draw them toward me.
Run away while I do.
**[16:13] Dario**
Why are you helping me?
**[16:15] Souichirou**
Your cell was next to mine.
**[16:18] Souichirou**
They do say to "love thy neighbor."
**[16:34] Souichirou**
What an excessive sense of obligation.
**[16:38] Sailor A**
You said the *Loewe*, right?
**[16:41] Sailor B**
Don't you read the paper?
**[16:45] Souichirou**
No. It can't be.
**[17:08] Gentsugu**
Do you intend to forfeit the
life that was returned to you?
**[17:13] Souichirou**
I no longer have a reason to live.
**[17:16] Gentsugu**
Oh. You got your revenge, I see.
**[17:20] Souichirou**
That is no longer a possibility.
**[17:24] Souichirou**
The man I wished to take revenge on
**[17:26] Souichirou**
has vanished into the sea,
along with the wreckage of his ship.
**[17:31] Gentsugu**
It isn't certain that he's dead.
**[17:34] Souichirou**
Don't try to console me!
**[17:35] Gentsugu**
You survived, albeit in a grave condition.
**[17:42] Souichirou**
Well...
**[17:44] Gentsugu**
How dare you commit seppuku
before repaying me or the captain.
**[17:49] Gentsugu**
Don't you think you
have an obligation to us?
**[17:52] Gu'en**
Found you.
**[17:54] Gentsugu**
An acquaintance of yours?
**[17:56] Souichirou**
Back for booze money again?
**[17:59] Gu'en**
I simply decided I'd like to put
my refined shinobi skills to use.
**[18:07] Souichirou**
That's your wish, is it?
**[18:10] Souichirou**
I will humor you.
**[18:42] Gentsugu**
Disrespectful child!
**[18:49] Gentsugu**
I don't know who you are,
but do not interfere!
**[19:13] Gu'en**
What?
**[19:21] Souichirou**
I will not take the same strike twice.
**[19:28] Gu'en**
You win. Kill me.
**[19:34] Souichirou**
I do not waste lives for no reason.
**[19:41] Gentsugu**
Are you really in a position to speak?
**[20:05] Captain**
You've come back with a crowd.
**[20:23] Kyoushirou**
A few years after becoming a sailor,
**[20:26] Kyoushirou**
I learned that Hiramatsu Buhei
was not as dead as I had believed.
**[20:30] Kyoushirou**
He had faked his own death.
**[20:32] Fujita**
I see.
**[20:33] Kyoushirou**
His life must end by my hand.
**[20:36] Fujita**
I shall lend you my aid.

That might be true if
Shuragami *were* the criminal.

Officer Osanai was stabbed
in the stomach and chest.
**[21:43] Midorikawa**
It was the chest injury
that was fatal, but...
**[21:46] Shizuma**
What is it?
**[21:47] Midorikawa**
The doctor says the stomach wound and
chest wound were made by different blades.
**[21:54] Shizuma**
Shuragami uses two swords.
Nothing surprising about that.
**[21:57] Midorikawa**
Except a double-edged blade made the
chest wound. One that was an unusual shape.
**[22:02] Midorikawa**
The suspicion is that
it was a foreign blade.
**[22:05] Koto**
The yakuza use dosu short swords.
**[22:08] Koto**
Would Shuragami ever
use foreign weapons?
**[22:11] Midorikawa**
That's the question.
**[22:15] Senri**
Please, have one more.

Shucks, I shouldn't.

Officers aren't supposed

**[22:28] Officer A**
The Metropolitan Police are on it, looking
for a man named Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[22:33] Officer A**
Who knows where he is, though.
**[22:34] Senri**
You don't have any leads at all?
**[22:36] Officer A**
We got yelled at lots

Mr. Ohkubo...

Where did that bastard Kyoushirou go?
**[22:50] Minagawa**
More importantly,
our master would like to know
**[22:53] Minagawa**
if the Great Plan is
proceeding as intended.
**[22:56] Moriya**
There is nothing to worry
about on that front.
**[22:59] Moriya**
The factory's complete. We've already
started the manufacturing.
**[23:05] Moriya**
We should be able to
test the prototype soon.
**[23:08] Minagawa**
The master will be glad to hear that.
**[23:14] Brandt**
I hear Ikegami Souichirou is still alive.
**[23:18] Hiramatsu**
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.
**[23:21] Brandt**
If the other nations find out
about the secret arrangement,
**[23:24] Brandt**
it will damage our country's prestige.

It will not be a concern.

Worry not. As long as you work with me,
I guarantee that you will benefit.

Whether it is a ghost from six years

I will simply remove them.

**[00:18] Boy**
Horsies!
**[00:47] Ohkubo**
What was that?
**[00:49] Kawaji**
It looked like an explosion.
**[00:50] Kawaji**
Help the wounded immediately!
**[00:52] Kawaji**
Move the crowd away from the area!
**[00:54] Hinazuru**
This is for Boshin!
**[01:10] Hinazuru**
Shizuma-san?
**[01:15] Shizuma**
Sumie.
**[01:20] Shimura**
Ohkubo Toshimichi, you rat!
**[01:22] Shimura**
Prepare yourself!
**[01:26] Kawaji**
Are you hurt?
**[01:28] Ohkubo**
I'm fine.
**[01:30] Shizuma**
Don't shoot.
**[01:31] Kawaji**
Do not interfere!
**[01:33] Kawaji**
Capture the criminals!
**[01:35] Cops**
Yes, sir!
**[01:38] Minagawa**
Let's escape while we can.
**[01:45] Shizuma**
Sumie.
**[01:48] Ohkubo**
Hang in there.
**[01:52] Kawaji**
Don't move!

***SIGN*** Furious
Clashes
**[02:10] Drunk**
The big, round moon in the sky...
**[02:25] Drunk**
What's this? A carp?
**[02:30] Drunk**
Th-The moon's gone?
**[02:43] Parks**
I am told that Mr. Ohkubo was attacked.
**[02:46] Parks**
Quite a bombastic attack, in fact,
with guns and explosions.
**[02:50] Parks**
And yet, there isn't a
single article about it.
**[02:52] Senri**
I'm sure they're
restricting the information.
**[02:54] Parks**
Instead, the top story is a silly horror
yarn about the moon vanishing
**[03:00] Parks**
and wooden carp falling from the sky.
**[03:02] Senri**
Sounds pretty ridiculous.
**[03:05] Parks**
Apparently, this incident happened
all over Tokyo in the course of one night.
**[03:10] Senri**
I see.
**[03:11] Senri**
So, what is it you want me to investigate?
**[03:14] Parks**
This incident.
**[03:16] Senri**
Not the attack on Mr. Ohkubo?
**[03:18] Parks**
That's already being taken care of.
**[03:21] Parks**
Miss Kurogi, I ask you
to investigate this horror tale.
**[03:26] Senri**
I don't have that much time to waste.
**[03:28] Parks**
Don't be like that.
**[03:29] Parks**
I plan to bring up this mystery
with my friend back home.
**[03:34] Senri**
Ah, your riddle buddy.
**[03:36] Parks**
I need to get to the bottom of it
before his answer arrives.
**[03:40] Parks**
Otherwise, I can't say
whether he is correct or not.
**[03:44] Senri**
I'll solve this mystery.
**[03:49] Ohkubo**
Have we determined
who was behind the attack?
**[03:52] Kawaji**
The man we arrested
has decided to talk.
**[04:03] Kawaji**
Who sent you to attack Mr. Ohkubo?
**[04:07] Shizuma**
Our master.
**[04:08] Kawaji**
Your master?
**[04:09] Shizuma**
That's what we call him.
**[04:12] Shizuma**
He hides his face with a hood.
**[04:15] Shizuma**
He seems to be a foreigner.
**[04:17] Kawaji**
Hiramatsu Buhei, huh?
**[04:19] Kawaji**
What does he want?
**[04:22] Shizuma**
To kill Ohkubo and
use the political vacuum...
**[04:30] Shizuma**
To use it to rally the
former samurai of Satsuma.
**[04:34] Kawaji**
What did you say?
**[04:38] Ohkubo**
First Saga, now Kagoshima. I see.
**[04:41] Kawaji**
The soldiers of Satsuma are formidable.
They do not fear death.
**[04:46] Kawaji**
If they band together to fight the government,
it would be very grave indeed.
**[04:51] Ohkubo**
We need to take action
before former comrades...
**[04:57] Ohkubo**
become our greatest foes.
**[05:01] Ohkubo**
By the way, what happened to the man
who took that bullet for me?
**[05:05] Kawaji**
Origasa Shizuma.
**[05:07] Kawaji**
He is resting at the hospital.
**[05:11] Tanba**
About the man who attacked you...
**[05:13] Tanba**
What did he look like?
**[05:15] Shizuma**
It was a girl.
**[05:16] Tanba**
Her features?
**[05:17] Shizuma**
I didn't get a good look.
**[05:19] Midorikawa**
Well, what are you going to do now?
**[05:22] Shizuma**
I need to heal.
**[05:24] Tanba**
Will you consider wearing
the uniform once more?
**[05:28] Shizuma**
Why would I do that now?
**[05:29] Tanba**
Mr. Ohkubo is pleading for you to return.
**[05:34] Tanba**
You saved his life, after all.
**[05:37] Midorikawa**
You made a name for yourself.
You're sure to go places now.
**[05:40] Shizuma**
I don't care.
**[05:58] Koto**
Lashing out at bamboo trees now?
**[06:00] Koto**
You seem rather frustrated.
**[06:02] Shizuma**
I'm fine.
**[06:04] Koto**
Don't try to fool me.
**[06:06] Koto**
I can tell from your sword.
**[06:23] Koto**
A disorderly mind
robs your blade of its edge.
**[06:28] Koto**
You're hiding something, aren't you?
**[06:34] Shizuma**
I knew the person who shot me.
**[06:37] Koto**
This is rather an old photo.
**[06:39] Shizuma**
The girl in the photo is the one
who shot me. Kanomata Sumie.
**[06:44] Koto**
Who is she?
**[06:47] Shizuma**
My fiancée.
**[06:49] Brandt**
It seems you've failed in your mission.
**[06:52] Hinazuru**
I apologize.
**[06:54] Hiramatsu**
There is no need, Hinazuru.
**[06:56] Hiramatsu**
Removing Ohkubo would have been ideal,
but the main aim of the mission was achieved.
**[07:01] Brandt**
How so?
**[07:03] Hiramatsu**
The incident ought to have instilled a
strong sense of peril in the government.
**[07:08] Hiramatsu**
They will now awaken a
dangerous bear by their own hand.
**[07:14] Kido**
There are many capable former samurai in
Kagoshima who survived the Boshin War.
**[07:20] Kido**
Should it ever come to it, the army
would be inadequate against them.
**[07:26] Iwakura**
We will need to suppress them
before they amass.
**[07:29] Kawaji**
The Metropolitan Police
will muster all of its might
**[07:32] Kawaji**
to find and arrest the
mastermind, Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[07:36] Iwakura**
It will not be that easy.
**[07:39] Kido**
Is there nothing we can do?
**[07:43] Ohkubo**
There is only one way.
**[07:46] Ohkubo**
We will bring the hero of
the samurai to our side.
**[07:50] Iwakura**
You don't mean...
**[07:52] Ohkubo**
We will bring Saigou Takamori back
to the center of political power.
**[08:06] Kirino**
Saigou-sensei!
**[08:08] Kirino**
We have received a telegraph
from Ohkubo in Tokyo!
**[08:12] Saigou**
Sounds like my time...
**[08:17] Saigou**
has finally come.
**[08:20] Genjou**
Hiramatsu's ship vanished
from the waters of Tsukiji.
**[08:24] Dario**
He's gone into hiding, huh?
**[08:26] Kyoushirou**
Keep an eye on Moriya.
He will eventually lead us to Hiramatsu.
**[08:30] Dario**
I'll follow him.
**[08:32] Genjou**
I will watch the facility they have built.
**[08:36] Genjou**
I have been wondering
what that place is for.
**[08:40] Fujita**
Now that we know the gold doesn't exist,
**[08:43] Fujita**
I don't think we need to
continue investigating him.
**[08:46] Fujita**
Why not just arrest him
for killing the officer?
**[08:49] Kawaji**
We have a new problem,
one by the name of Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[08:54] Kawaji**
Follow Kyoushirou and
determine his whereabouts.
**[09:02] Shizuma**
Please tell me more about Sumie.
**[09:05] Koume**
But...
**[09:07] Kamejirou**
Shizuma-san is no longer with the police.
You can tell him anything.
**[09:11] Shizuma**
Please! I'm begging you!
**[09:16] Koume**
I understand.
**[09:21] Koto**
What are you doing?
**[09:23] Koto**
Those eyes...
**[09:25] Koto**
They resemble the ones in the picture.
**[09:28] Koto**
You are Kanomata Sumie, correct?
**[09:31] Koto**
Did you come to find out
if you had killed your fiancé?
**[09:37] Koume**
Hinazuru-neesan is an assassin.
**[09:43] Koume**
She has already taken many lives.
**[09:46] Shizuma**
Why would she do such a thing?
**[09:53] Koto**
You picked the wrong person
to cross swords with.
**[09:56] Koto**
Oh? Is that the gun that shot Shizuma?
**[10:00] Hinazuru**
Is Shizuma-san all right?
**[10:02] Koto**
I highly doubt it.
**[10:04] Koto**
He reunited with his fiancée
in the worst way possible.
**[10:07] Koto**
I suspect he is quite devastated.
**[10:10] Hinazuru**
Why did he risk his life to protect a man
who destroyed his homeland of Aizu?
**[10:16] Koto**
And why have *you* become a killer?
**[10:20] Koume**
She became an assassin to take revenge
**[10:23] Koume**
on the Meiji government
for taking everything from her.
**[10:27] Koume**
Because she didn't know
you were still alive.
**[10:32] Koto**
Shizuma left his past behind
in order to look for you.
**[10:36] Koto**
For that, he became an officer,
**[10:38] Koto**
and worked under the very
people who were his enemy.
**[10:42] Hinazuru**
For me?
**[10:44] Koto**
He is ever so devoted to you.
I cannot help but be envious.
**[10:49] Kamejirou**
Koume-san, have you killed, too?
**[10:55] Koume**
I wanted to help.
**[10:57] Koume**
But she wouldn't let me.
**[10:59] Koume**
All I could do was be by her side.
**[11:02] Koume**
Please, Shizuma-san.
**[11:05] Koume**
Save her.
**[11:07] Koume**
Her body is...
**[11:15] Hinazuru**
What are you to Shizuma-san?
**[11:22] Koto**
I am...
**[11:26] Koto**
his mentor.
**[11:36] Shizuma**
A grave illness of the chest?
**[11:41] Shizuma**
No...
**[11:43] Koume**
Until the light of her life is extinguished,
she intends to fight for the master,
**[11:49] Koume**
and for Aizu, which no longer exists.
**[11:52] Koto**
Are you all right?
**[11:53] Hinazuru**
Stay back! Don't come near me.
**[11:57] Shizuma**
The "master"?
**[11:58] Koume**
The man who orders the attacks.
**[12:01] Shizuma**
Who is he?
**[12:02] Koume**
I don't know much about him, either.
**[12:19] Drunk**
One moment, I notice the moon's gone,
**[12:22] Drunk**
and the next, there are all these
wooden carp pourin' out of the sky!
**[12:26] Drunk**
Imagine my surprise!
**[12:30] Man A**
They fell out of the sky.
It's gotta be a good omen.
**[12:35] Man A**
And I love that they're red.
**[12:38] Senri**
Others came to talk to you?
**[12:41] Man B**
They didn't care that I was busy.
**[12:43] Man B**
They wouldn't stop asking me questions
about where I picked it up and such.
**[12:46] Man B**
So I complained, and they hit me.
They were definitely up to no good.
**[13:33] Gallo**
Why didn't you shoot?
It's going to bring more enemies here.
**[13:38] Billy**
More enemies, more money.
**[13:40] Gallo**
Oh!
**[13:43] Gallo**
What?
**[13:45] Minagawa**
I can't believe a rat wandered in
right before a critical mission.
**[13:49] Gotou**
We should take the goods
elsewhere, just in case.
**[13:55] Billy**
Hi, Mr. Gotou.
**[13:57] Gotou**
You're awfully chummy for
someone who put a hole in my belly.
**[14:03] Billy**
I've got another present
right here, if you'd like.
**[14:05] Billy**
Say bye-bye to your torso,
and your belly won't bother you anymore.
**[14:10] Gotou**
Piece of shit.
**[14:12] Minagawa**
Put your weapons down.
**[14:14] Minagawa**
We're all comrades
working toward the same goal.
**[14:16] Minagawa**
Set your bad blood aside.
**[14:18] Gotou**
It's not that easy.
**[14:20] Gotou**
These assholes nearly took my life!
**[14:22] Billy**
It was just business.
**[14:23] Gallo**
Nothing personal.
**[14:24] Gotou**
Maybe not for you, but it *is* for me!
**[14:27] Minagawa**
They were hired by the master.
Boss Moriya approves of them, too.
**[14:32] Gotou**
I know that.
**[14:36] Gotou**
Kyoushirou's goon?
**[14:38] Gotou**
He's hurt.
**[14:41] Gotou**
You've got to be nice to a priest
or you'll invite bad luck.
**[14:48] Gotou**
How about a puff?
**[14:52] Gotou**
This is nothing compared to the pain
Kyoushirou put me through.
**[14:57] Minagawa**
Prepare a carriage to transport the goods.
**[14:59] Man A**
Yes, sir.
**[15:00] Minagawa**
And contact the Crow.
This is an opportunity for redemption.
**[15:11] Kyoushirou**
Genjou's pigeon.
**[15:13] Kyoushirou**
Is there a letter?
**[15:14] Fujita**
No.
**[15:15] Fujita**
It would seem he is in trouble.
**[15:18] Hiramatsu**
We are finally ready to bring back
the true world of the samurai.
**[15:24] Hiramatsu**
We ask you to lead the movement
to defeat the government, my lord.
**[15:30] Katamori**
Buhei. The people are celebrating peace,
and you wish to invite war to the land again?
***SIGN*** Former Aizu domain lord
Matsudaira Katamori
**[15:39] Katamori**
The time of washing blood away
with blood has passed.
**[15:43] Hiramatsu**
I cannot believe what I am hearing.
**[15:46] Hiramatsu**
Have you forgotten what
they did during the Boshin War?
**[15:49] Hiramatsu**
Have you forgotten the grief
of those who died for Aizu?
**[15:59] Shizuma**
You... What are you doing here?
**[16:02] Makino**
There you are.
**[16:04] Shizuma**
You were looking for me?
**[16:06] Makino**
Yeah. I asked Officer Midorikawa about you,
and he lent me that dog in place of an answer.
**[16:10] Shizuma**
He has a sharp nose.
**[16:13] Shizuma**
So, what do you need?
**[16:15] Makino**
We know where Shuragami Kyoushirou is.
**[16:24] Genjou**
Who's there?
**[16:27] Senri**
This is the starting point
of the horror story.
**[16:30] Genjou**
You are that girl who was
hiding among the masseuses.
**[16:34] Senri**
Who are these guys?
What are they doing with these things?
**[16:39] Genjou**
I am under no obligation to answer you.
**[16:42] Senri**
If you tell me, I'll cut you loose.
**[16:47] Genjou**
They are villains working
alongside the Moriya Clan.
**[16:50] Genjou**
They seem to be making something here,
but I have no idea what.
**[16:55] Genjou**
I do not know what those are for, either.
**[16:57] Senri**
You're utterly useless.
**[16:59] Genjou**
I've answered your questions. Now, free me.
**[17:02] Senri**
One more question.
**[17:04] Senri**
What's El Dorado?
**[17:07] Genjou**
You seem to know a lot.
**[17:10] Senri**
El Dorado means the "land of gold."
**[17:13] Senri**
The rebel army amassed gold to buy weapons
from Prussia during the Boshin War.
**[17:18] Senri**
El Dorado is the name of the
place where it's hidden, yes?
**[17:21] Genjou**
To those cursed with greed,
any rumor sounds like truth.
**[17:27] Senri**
So there is no gold?
**[17:28] Genjou**
I wonder.
**[17:30] Genjou**
Go find out for yourself.
**[17:32] Senri**
I will do just that.
**[17:34] Genjou**
Hey, untie me!
**[17:48] Guard**
You! Stop!
**[17:57] Kyoushirou**
It's you.
**[17:58] Dario**
For Gu'en!
**[18:03] Billy**
Let's settle this.
**[18:06] Kyoushirou**
Dario.
**[18:10] Fujita**
You had best worry about yourself first.
**[18:16] Kyoushirou**
I will go after him.
**[18:18] Kyoushirou**
You go to Dario.
**[18:25] Minagawa**
Set fire to the factory
once the carriages are out.
**[18:27] Goon**
Yes, sir.
**[18:28] Goon**
Are you not coming?
**[18:29] Gotou**
The intruder is Kyoushirou.
I can smell him.
**[18:33] Gotou**
I will cut him down myself.
**[18:41] Makino**
Look! Up ahead!
**[18:54] Dario**
I win.
**[19:02] Billy**
It was a good duel, Robin Hood.
**[19:12] Fujita**
Hey, are you alive?
**[19:18] Gotou**
I've missed you, Kyoushirou!
**[19:22] Kyoushirou**
Gotou.
**[19:26] Gotou**
Get him!
**[19:41] Gotou**
Get a grip! There's only one of him!
**[19:46] Gallo**
Yo.
**[19:52] Gotou**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[20:04] Gotou**
You rabid son of a bitch.
**[20:15] Gotou**
Shit!
**[20:24] Genjou**
Watch who you are killing.
**[20:27] Kyoushirou**
I only have one eye,
so spare me your jibes.
**[20:30] Shizuma**
Shuragami Kyoushirou!
**[20:34] Kyoushirou**
It's you.
**[20:35] Shizuma**
I am Origasa Shizuma.
I will avenge Officer Osanai.
**[20:41] Kyoushirou**
It's just one after another.
**[20:42] Genjou**
Must be a cursed day.
**[20:55] Genjou**
If only I had my hallucinogens,
this man would be no match for me.
**[21:02] Shizuma**
Why did you kill Officer Osanai?
**[21:04] Kyoushirou**
I merely brushed aside
a spark falling toward me.
**[21:07] Shizuma**
Are you trying to tell me
Officer Osanai drew first?
**[21:10] Kyoushirou**
Ask that man over there
if you think I am lying.
**[21:14] Shizuma**
What?
**[21:24] Genjou**
It seems the Buddha
has blessed me. Namas.
**[21:33] Shizuma**
Hold it!
**[21:34] Makino**
Help me!
**[21:44] Makino**
Thanks.
**[21:46] Makino**
I owe you.
**[21:53] Gotou**
Where are you, Kyoushirou?
**[21:54] Gotou**
Come out and fight me!
**[21:57] Grunt A**
Boss, we can't stay here. Let's retreat.
**[22:00] Gotou**
You oaf. Chicken out and I'll kill you first.
**[22:08] Gotou**
There you are!
**[22:27] Gotou**
You freak!
**[23:02] Makino**
I was about to be roasted alive.
**[23:06] Shizuma**
You have an unusual dagger.
**[23:09] Makino**
Oh, this? It is a top-quality piece,
made in the West.
**[23:15] Shizuma**
I hear the blade that killed
Osanai-san was also double-edged.
**[23:20] Makino**
Oh?
**[23:26] Makino**
You're more clever than I thought.
**[23:28] Shizuma**
Makino...
**[23:31] Makino**
You are right.
**[23:33] Makino**
I was the one who killed Osanai.
**[23:51] Makino**
Are you all right?
**[23:53] Osanai**
It hurts.
**[23:55] Osanai**
I'm being punished.
**[23:58] Osanai**
Because I, a police officer, broke the law.
**[24:07] Makino**
Now it's your turn.
**[24:09] Shizuma**
Asshole!
**[24:18] Makino**
What?
**[24:31] Dario**
Kyoushirou-sama and Grampa Genjou...
**[24:35] Fujita**
From the looks of it...
**[24:39] Genjou**
I am not quite dead yet.
**[24:42] Dario**
Grampa! Kyoushirou-sama!
**[24:45] Kyoushirou**
You two survived, huh?
**[24:46] Fujita**
It seems we are not the
only ones who survived.

**[02:13] Genjou**
He may die without aid.
**[02:17] Kyoushirou**
Dario.
**[02:42] Midorikawa**
What the...
**[02:45] Midorikawa**
Shizuma-san?
**[02:48] Tanba**
I can't believe Officer Makino
was the murderer.
**[02:51] Midorikawa**
I don't believe it. Why would he?
**[02:54] Shizuma**
I haven't gotten much out of him yet.
**[02:57] Shizuma**
Let me be present at the interrogation.
**[03:01] Shizuma**
Please.
**[03:02] Midorikawa**
There's no way we can accommodate that.
**[03:04] Tanba**
All right.
**[03:05] Midorikawa**
Chief Inspector Tanba!
**[03:07] Shizuma**
Thank you.
**[03:12] Shizuma**
Why did you kill Osanai-san?
**[03:16] Makino**
To shut him up.
**[03:18] Makino**
I asked him to help me
kill Shuragami, but he failed.
**[03:22] Makino**
So I disposed of him
before word could get out.
**[03:24] Shizuma**
You!
**[03:26] Tanba**
Why did you target Shuragami?
**[03:31] Makino**
It was an order.
**[03:33] Makino**
From the master.
**[03:34] Shizuma**
The master?
**[03:36] Kawaji**
So Hiramatsu's people have
infiltrated the police, have they?
**[03:40] Shizuma**
Chief Superintendent Kawaji.
**[03:42] Kawaji**
Origasa, you've been hiding
something important, haven't you?
**[03:50] Kawaji**
It was Kanomata Sumie
who shot Mr. Ohkubo.
**[03:55] Kawaji**
The fiancée you've been looking for.
**[03:59] Shizuma**
Yes.
**[04:00] Kawaji**
All on the orders of Hiramatsu Buhei,
who is plotting to overthrow the government.
**[04:06] Shizuma**
Hiramatsu Buhei?
**[04:09] Shizuma**
He's the master?
**[04:10] Kawaji**
His real name is John Henry Schnell.
**[04:13] Kawaji**
He is a foreigner who served
as a military adviser in Aizu.
**[04:17] Kawaji**
Do you not know him?
**[04:18] Shizuma**
I've heard the name.
**[04:21] Kawaji**
It seems all of this started
during the Boshin War.
**[04:27] Kawaji**
Return to the police force,
Origasa Shizuma.
**[04:30] Kawaji**
Bring closure to your own destiny.
**[04:52] Hiramatsu**
I am told the castle in Aizu
is to be demolished.
**[04:55] Katamori**
Such is the nature of the times.
Nothing can change that.
**[04:59] Hiramatsu**
When I close my eyes,
I can still recall the beauty of Aizu.
**[05:05] Hiramatsu**
Under your rule, the people were
cheerful and smiling, even in poverty.
**[05:11] Hiramatsu**
They were disciplined and proud.
**[05:14] Hiramatsu**
I felt I had found an ideal,
peaceful way of life,
**[05:17] Hiramatsu**
free from the money worship that
has driven the west to insanity.
**[05:22] Katamori**
A phantom of a time long past.
**[05:25] Katamori**
The Aizu warrior is all but dead.
**[05:28] Hiramatsu**
But *you* live on! As do I!
**[05:30] Hiramatsu**
In the name of modernization,
**[05:34] Hiramatsu**
this country abandons its traditions
and blindly imitates the West.
**[05:39] Hiramatsu**
My lord, I ask you to stand up and
take back the proud world of the samurai.
**[05:45] Hiramatsu**
That is the only way we can bring
justice to the deceased of Aizu.
**[06:00] Minagawa**
I have returned.
**[06:02] Hiramatsu**
I hear you were attacked
by Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[06:06] Minagawa**
The materials have been transported
to a secondary departure point.
**[06:09] Minagawa**
Our plans remain unaffected.
**[06:11] Minagawa**
We are about to begin
our final preparations.
**[06:15] Hiramatsu**
Ohkubo appears to have fallen for our
false information and called for Saigou.
**[06:21] Minagawa**
If only he'd known that would be the spark
that starts a rebellion of the former samurai.
**[06:27] Hiramatsu**
So it finally begins.
**[06:38] Girl**
Hurry!
**[06:54] Minagawa**
What are you ruminating on?
**[06:58] Hinazuru**
Have I really been doing the right thing?
**[07:04] Minagawa**
Exacting revenge on those who razed
your home and killed your fiancé?
**[07:11] Hinazuru**
He's alive.
**[07:14] Hinazuru**
Shizuma-san is alive.
**[07:18] Hinazuru**
I was about to shoot him
with my own hands.
**[07:21] Minagawa**
Surely not.
**[07:23] Minagawa**
That was him?
**[07:35] Genjou**
This is all we have left.
**[07:37] Genjou**
Not very reassuring.
**[07:41] Genjou**
Dario will no longer be able to fight.
**[07:44] Kyoushirou**
He has already done
more than enough for us.
**[07:48] Kyoushirou**
Let's bring Dario back to El Dorado.
**[07:54] Ohkubo**
We would like your help in quelling the
increasing discontent among former samurai.
**[08:01] Saigou**
Looks like ya can't have a working
government without me around, huh?
**[08:04] Saigou**
One word from the great Saigou and
the samurai will fall right back in line.
**[08:12] Saigou**
But first, I'm gonna have
to shave this unruly beard.
**[08:25] Dario**
Where are Kyoushirou-sama
and Grampa Genjou?
**[08:29] Fujita**
The old geezer's gone
to look for medicine.
**[08:32] Fujita**
Shuragami said something about
procuring a ship. They'll be back.
**[08:37] Dario**
A ship?
**[08:51] Senri**
Looks like you managed to sneak in.
**[08:54] Fujita**
If you're looking for the gold,
don't bother.
**[08:57] Fujita**
It doesn't exist.
**[08:59] Senri**
Oh? Then why are you still
traveling with Shuragami?
**[09:02] Fujita**
I have other business with him.
**[09:04] Senri**
Uh-huh.
**[09:06] Senri**
Well, suit yourself.
**[09:09] Fujita**
What is that?
**[09:10] Senri**
I got information on a plot
that could spark a revolution.
**[09:14] Senri**
You can have it.
**[09:17] Fujita**
Why are you giving this to me?
**[09:18] Senri**
You're with the police, aren't you?
**[09:20] Senri**
Besides...
**[09:22] Senri**
I always repay my debts.
**[09:25] Fujita**
Is this true?
**[09:28] Senri**
You should go tell the
Chief Superintendent quickly.
**[09:39] Senri**
He heard us.
**[09:40] Fujita**
I am surprised he can still move.
**[09:41] Senri**
It's two-on-one, and he's missing an arm.
We'll be fine if we take him on together.
**[09:45] Fujita**
One of us will have an arrow in their head.
**[09:47] Senri**
Just luck of the draw, I suppose.
**[09:51] Fujita**
A messenger arrow.
**[09:52] Senri**
We have to hurry.
**[09:54] Fujita**
I will draw his attention.
**[09:55] Fujita**
You take him out.
**[09:59] Fujita**
Now!
**[10:05] Fujita**
Tch.
**[10:10] Fujita**
Too slow.
**[10:13] Genjou**
What an odd situation.
**[10:16] Dario**
He's a police spy!
**[10:18] Genjou**
My word.
**[10:19] Kyoushirou**
Oh?
**[10:21] Kyoushirou**
I thought you were a wolf.
**[10:24] Kyoushirou**
But it looks like you're a dog.
**[10:35] Kyoushirou**
Farewell.
**[10:48] Dario**
I can still fight.
**[10:51] Dario**
We'll stay together to the end.
**[10:53] Kyoushirou**
Fine.
**[10:55] Kyoushirou**
Do as you wish.
**[11:01] Genjou**
And what is this?
**[11:13] Fujita**
I thought you had run away.
**[11:16] Senri**
You survived an arrow to the chest.
**[11:18] Senri**
You sure are stubborn one.
**[11:20] Fujita**
He drew this arrow with his mouth.
It couldn't have reached my heart.

Origasa Shizuma.
**[11:28] Kawaji**
For your courageous and selfless
protection of the Lord of Home Affairs,

and for your role in the arrest
of Officer Osanai's murderer,
**[11:37] Kawaji**
I hereby approve of your return to the

**[11:49] Kawaji**
Officer Origasa is hereby awarded
special permission to bear a sword.
**[11:53] Shizuma**
A sword?
**[11:54] Kawaji**
We intend to grant all first-rank
officers the right to bear a sword.
**[11:59] Kawaji**
You will be the first among them.
**[12:03] Kawaji**
You will work hard, diligently, and
without rest as a defender of the state.
**[12:10] Shizuma**
Sir!
**[12:13] Koto**
You've made it big.
**[12:17] Shizuma**
And now it's back to not drinking anymore.
**[12:21] Koto**
Are you going to arrest your fiancée?
**[12:24] Shizuma**
I will do it myself,
before someone else arrests her.
**[12:30] Koto**
Will you slay her?
**[12:43] Koto**
I think I will head back to my hometown.
**[12:47] Koto**
My only purpose here was
to participate in the Gekkenkai.
**[12:50] Koto**
I've stayed longer than I intended.
**[12:54] Koto**
Here is a gift for my unworthy student.
**[12:59] Koto**
Use it to cut through your hesitation.
**[13:01] Koto**
Or to protect those dear to you.
**[13:04] Koto**
Either way, put it to good use.
**[13:22] Senri**
Did you find what I asked you for?
**[13:24] McCaulay**
About the Tenryumaru, you mean?
**[13:26] McCaulay**
It seems to be a ferry that travels between
Tokyo and Ezo carrying local wares.
**[13:33] Senri**
Ezo?
**[13:34] McCaulay**
I've written the details here.
**[13:38] Senri**
Could you deliver this
to the British Legation?
**[13:41] McCaulay**
Does this look like a post office?
**[13:46] Senri**
Please and thank you.
**[13:50] Kikuchi**
Officer Fujita, is that true?!
**[13:52] Kikuchi**
Hiramatsu Buhei is
attacking the holy land?!
**[13:55] Fujita**
Hurry... Inform the Chief Superintendent.
**[13:59] Fujita**
Beware... Beware the skies.
**[14:21] Kawaji**
We have received
information about a plot
**[14:24] Kawaji**
by Hiramatsu Buhei and his men
to overthrow the government.
**[14:27] Kawaji**
We will commence a full search of
the mountains in which he resides,
**[14:31] Kawaji**
as well as the residences of the Moriya Clan,
who have been cooperating with him.
**[14:35] Kawaji**
As agents of justice, I request that
you zealously carry out your duties.
**[14:41] All**
Sir!
**[14:57] Officer A**
Where is Moriya Ryuuzou?
**[14:59] Henchman**
He's not here.
**[15:02] Moriya**
The time has come at last for the Moriya Clan
to stand right in the middle of this nation.
**[15:07] Moriya**
Get your heads in it!
**[15:10] All**
Yeah!
**[15:12] Minagawa**
A little early to celebrate, no?
**[15:14] Minagawa**
We have an important mission coming up.
**[15:16] Moriya**
Don't be so stiff. It's a pre-celebration.
**[15:20] Minagawa**
The master is here.
Please restrain yourself.
**[15:24] Moriya**
H-Here in person, sir?
**[15:27] Moriya**
All of you, lower your heads!

Looks like someone

You're a nuisance.
**[16:12] Shizuma**
What?
**[16:13] Tanba**
Officer Origasa!
**[16:16] Shizuma**
Get down!
**[16:20] Billy**
That was a close one, huh?
**[16:21] Minagawa**
You're late.
**[16:22] Billy**
No need to thank me.
**[16:34] Saigou**
Make me look nice and dapper.
**[17:02] Officer**
Halt!
**[17:04] Officer**
Drop your weapon and
surrender yourself!
**[17:16] Togura**
Kyoushirou!
**[17:18] Kyoushirou**
I don't see your boss around.
**[17:21] Kyoushirou**
Has he left his henchmen
to do all the dirty work?
**[17:24] Togura**
Shut up, traitor!
**[17:25] Togura**
The boss is sitting ready with the
hooded master in our main base!
**[17:31] Kyoushirou**
So he's here, is he?
**[17:32] Togura**
Die!

Leave this to me. I'll catch up.

Hold it!

You're staying here.

What is that uniform?

Where did you leave your Aizu pride?
**[18:44] Gen'nosuke**
Shame on you, Shizuma.
**[18:48] Shizuma**
Gen'nosuke?
**[19:17] Genjou**
Impossible.
**[19:19] Genjou**
You were being made to witness hell.
How can you still be sane?
**[19:24] Shizuma**
I've seen it in
my nightmares plenty of times.
**[19:29] Kyoushirou**
Genjou!

Stay back!

Kyoushirou.
**[19:40] Genjou**
Achieve your goal.

**[20:31] Servant**
Letters for you.
**[20:34] Parkes**
It is from Mycroft back home.
**[20:37] Miller**
Your friend?
**[20:39] Parkes**
A fellow member of the Diogenes Club.
**[20:42] Miller**
Ah, your riddle friend.
**[20:45] Parkes**
It must be his answer to
the riddle I sent him before.
**[20:50] Parkes**
And this seems to be
a report from Miss Kurogi.
**[21:00] Parkes**
Perfect. Let's compare answers.
**[21:07] Miller**
"Dear Mr. Parkes,"
**[21:09] Miller**
"I thank you for your
fascinating questions."
**[21:12] Miller**
"They were difficult, but I have completed
them in full. Here are my answers."
**[21:17] Miller**
"The mystery of the moon disappearing
followed by a downpour of wooden carp."
**[21:22] Miller**
"Both are the doings of someone
with a specific purpose."
**[21:31] Miller**
"On the first question
regarding the moon:"
**[21:34] Miller**
"Something simply obstructed
the moon from view."
**[21:41] Miller**
"And that something would be a balloon."
**[22:02] Miller**
"Regarding the second mystery
of the carp falling from the sky:"
**[22:07] Miller**
"they were dropped from these balloons."
**[22:12] Miller**
Why would they do such a thing?
**[22:15] Parkes**
According to Miss Kurogi's report,
**[22:18] Parkes**
the balloons were flown at night
to test their flight discreetly.
**[22:24] Parkes**
But at night, it is difficult to accurately
determine the flight path of the balloons.
**[22:30] Parkes**
Therefore, they dropped the carp
at regular intervals to pick up later,
**[22:37] Parkes**
so they could see where they flew.
**[22:45] Miller**
"Why, then, did they choose wooden carp,
out of all the things they could have used?"
**[22:51] Miller**
"Someone involved in this plan must
have a particular fondness for carp."
**[22:58] Miller**
"On this point, I asked my brother,
who is rather knowledgeable about Japan."
**[23:04] Miller**
"He explained that someone
who raises koi as a hobby,"
**[23:08] Miller**
"or who has a koi tattoo
must be involved."
**[23:10] Parkes**
According to Miss Kurogi, Moriya Ryuuzou,
who is involved in the plan,
**[23:15] Parkes**
has a tattoo of a red dragon.
**[23:19] Parkes**
A carp climbs a waterfall
to become a dragon.
**[23:22] Parkes**
Though the plan is a secret one,
Moriya Ryuuzou, being an attention seeker,
**[23:28] Parkes**
must have used a symbol
that represented him.
**[23:32] Parkes**
That is how Miss Kurogi sees it.
**[23:53] Kyoushirou**
Tch.
**[23:55] Miller**
"I conclude that this incident is a dry run for
a planned attack to be carried out at night."
**[24:10] Midorikawa**
Wh-What the...
**[24:15] Shizuma**
What are those?
**[24:21] Miller**
Where is this place they plan
to attack using balloons?
**[24:27] Parkes**
"The center of Tokyo and the
holy land of the nation of Japan..."
**[24:33] Parkes**
The Imperial Palace?!
***SIGN*** Imperial
Palace
***SIGN*** Imperial
Palace
**[24:40] Hiramatsu**
The Imperial Palace is said
to be impenetrable,
**[24:43] Hiramatsu**
but it is defenseless
against an attack from the sky.
**[24:47] Hiramatsu**
We will take the Emperor back
from the hands of the villains,
**[24:50] Hiramatsu**
and have him become visual proof
of the righteousness of our rebellion.
**[24:58] Katamori**
You think it will work out that easily?
**[25:01] Hiramatsu**
That is not all.
**[25:03] Hiramatsu**
We will inform the public that Saigou's
assassination was the government's doing.
**[25:07] Hiramatsu**
The blood of former samurai
throughout Japan will boil.
**[25:11] Hiramatsu**
And then, Katamori-sama,
you will emerge with the Emperor,
**[25:16] Hiramatsu**
and guide the infuriated former samurai
to victory over the government!
**[25:21] Hiramatsu**
The age of the samurai will begin anew.

**[00:00] Iwakura**
Saigou was *assassinated?*
**[00:03] Iwakura**
Who is responsible? For what purpose?
**[00:05] Ohkubo**
I suspect Hiramatsu Buhei was behind it.
**[00:09] Ohkubo**
He intends to spread the rumor that
the government assassinated Saigou,
**[00:13] Ohkubo**
and use the anger of the former
Satsuma samurai to start an uprising.
**[00:17] Iwakura**
We must not allow articles to be written!
**[00:19] Ohkubo**
We are already ensuring none will be.
**[00:22] Kido**
Can we guarantee that?
**[00:23] Kido**
I hear the journalists are getting
upset at the repeated embargoes.
**[00:27] Ohkubo**
Someone may continue regardless.
**[00:30] Iwakura**
We must cover all of it up!
**[00:32] Iwakura**
And arrest the mastermind
behind this murder *immediately!*
**[00:39] Hiramatsu**
Now...
**[00:41] Hiramatsu**

Impossible.

Shit. What's going on?
**[02:25] Moriya**
Kyoushirou!
**[02:27] Kyoushirou**
Where is Hiramatsu Buhei?
**[02:30] Moriya**
Get him!
**[02:39] Moriya**
The master is on a ship
off Tsukudajima Island.
**[02:42] Moriya**
He's waiting for us to
return with the emperor.
**[02:50] Shizuma**
Factories?
**[02:52] Shizuma**
Surely not.

The emperor will soon... be ours...
**[04:04] Shizuma**
What?
**[04:20] Guard Alpha**
Good work.
**[04:22] Guard Alpha**
The carriages for our escape are ready.
**[04:24] Guard Alpha**
The emperor should be at the Fujimi-yagura
Tower tonight, watching the fireworks.
**[04:29] Guard Alpha**
All is going according to plan.
**[04:36] Shizuma**
Let me go!
**[04:37] Shizuma**
I'm a police officer!
I'm not anyone suspicious!
**[04:41] Guard A**
Did you think we would fall for that outfit?
**[04:43] Guard A**
Trespassing in the factory
is a serious crime.
**[04:46] Guard Alpha**
I have been told there is a problem.
**[04:48] Guard Alpha**
What's going on?
**[04:49] Guard A**
We have taken care of it.
**[04:51] Guard A**
The rat is right here, as you can see.
**[04:54] Guard Alpha**
Good to hear.
**[05:04] Shizuma**
You're Hiramatsu's men, aren't you?
**[05:10] Guard Alpha**
Let's see how long you last on your own.
**[05:18] Hinazuru**
Stop wasting time!
**[05:31] Shizuma**
Sumie?
**[05:34] Hinazuru**
Shizuma-san.
**[05:38] Kawaji**
This is as far as you go!
**[05:40] Kawaji**
We've seen through all of your plans!
**[05:43] Kawaji**
Do not resist arrest!
**[05:45] Guard Alpha**
Kill anyone who stands in our way!
**[05:56] Shizuma**
You were with the police?
**[06:01] Fujita**
Correct.
**[06:09] Fujita**
What do you think you are doing?
**[06:11] Shizuma**
Please sheathe your sword.
**[06:13] Fujita**
Are you in your right mind?
**[06:15] Shizuma**
I'm more clearheaded
than I ever have been.
**[06:19] Fujita**
That woman is a criminal who
is here to take one of our own.
**[06:23] Shizuma**
I don't care!
**[06:27] Fujita**
You will pay for your mistake.
**[06:31] Fujita**
Draw.
**[06:59] Fujita**
To think a woman would trump justice...
**[07:26] Shizuma**
What's wrong?
**[07:28] Hinazuru**
Why are you helping me?
You're a police officer.
**[07:32] Hinazuru**
I'm...
**[07:35] Shizuma**
I promised Gen'nosuke I'd protect you.
**[07:41] Hinazuru**
My brother?
**[07:43] Shizuma**
Besides...
**[07:45] Shizuma**
You're my fiancée.
**[07:52] Hinazuru**
So the past is tying you down.
**[07:56] Hinazuru**
Please, forget about me.
**[08:21] Hinazuru**
Why?
**[08:25] Shizuma**
I don't care about the promise
or about you being my fiancée.
**[08:29] Shizuma**
I just want to live with you.
**[08:49] Shizuma**
Let's leave everything behind and
live somewhere no one will find us.
**[08:53] Shizuma**
Together.
**[08:56] Shizuma**
I'll protect you.
**[09:00] Hinazuru**
I'm so grateful.
**[09:04] Hinazuru**
As long as you're with me,
I don't need anything else.
**[09:15] Shizuma**
Sumie!
**[09:19] Hinazuru**
I'm sorry.
**[09:21] Hinazuru**
I don't seem to have much time left.
**[09:27] Hinazuru**
Please do something for me.
**[09:29] Shizuma**
What?
**[09:30] Hinazuru**
Please lend me a hand to
undo all the wrongs I have done.
***SIGN*** Tenryu

**[09:46] Senri**
Yikes.
**[09:47] Seuemon**
You're the chick who's been
sniffing around, aren't you?
**[09:54] Moriya**
Hey! Anyone here?
**[09:57] Moriya**
Nobody?
**[10:01] Moriya**
Wh-Who the hell are you?
**[10:05] Gotou**
Boss.
**[10:07] Moriya**
Gotou? Is that you, Gotou?
**[10:10] Moriya**
I heard you were dead.
So you're alive, huh?
**[10:12] Gotou**
Where's Kyoushirou?
**[10:14] Moriya**
That bastard's headed for the master.
**[10:17] Moriya**
Get our men!
We'll finally chop up that asshole!
**[10:22] Moriya**
Uh, hey, where are you going?
**[10:45] Katamori**
You ask me to reconsider?
**[10:49] Shizuma**
With respect, if you rise up,
Katamori-sama,
**[10:52] Shizuma**
the nation will be thrown back
into the chaos of war.
**[10:55] Katamori**
Origasa Shizuma, was it?
**[10:58] Katamori**
As an Aizu man, you must remember...
**[11:03] Katamori**
our fallen comrades.
**[11:07] Shizuma**
I have never forgotten them.
**[11:09] Katamori**
We must avenge them.
**[11:15] Shizuma**
Doing so won't bring back
the lives that were lost.
**[11:20] Shizuma**
We cannot bring back the days
that have passed.
**[11:25] Shizuma**
Killing because our own were killed...
**[11:27] Shizuma**
It can only lead to an endless hell.
**[11:30] Shizuma**
We must be the ones to break the cycle.
**[11:40] Katamori**
You ask me to swallow the
grief of our fallen comrades?
**[11:45] Shizuma**
We must not repeat Aizu.
**[11:48] Shizuma**
What must not be, must not be.
**[11:54] Katamori**
Honestly, this is one troublesome man
you have brought with you.
**[11:59] Hinazuru**
I wish for the same.
**[12:02] Katamori**
But even if I were to reconsider,
**[12:06] Katamori**
Buhei would not give up on
taking down the government.
**[12:09] Shizuma**
I will put an end to it.
**[12:15] Minagawa**
You will not stop us!
**[12:40] Shizuma**
Sumie!
**[12:46] Hinazuru**
Thank goodness you're safe.
**[12:52] Hinazuru**
I did the right thing in the end.
**[12:58] Hinazuru**
I wish I could go to that place
where no one would find us.
**[13:04] Shizuma**
Yeah. I'll take you there.
**[13:08] Shizuma**
Of course I will.
**[13:11] Hinazuru**
Shizuma-san.
**[13:14] Shizuma**
Wh-What is it?
**[13:18] Hinazuru**
Please protect the future.
**[13:53] Kido**
Is this really where I will find a means
of covering up Saigou's assassination?
**[14:00] Ohkubo**
We have been collecting men of similar
height and appearance, just in case.
**[14:08] Kido**
What the...
**[14:09] Ohkubo**
They need some training before
they can be useful doubles.
**[14:13] Ohkubo**
But they will be adequate for deceiving
the journalists for a brief time.
**[14:17] Kido**
I am afraid to ask this,
**[14:19] Kido**
but you aren't collecting people
who look like me, too, are you?
**[14:25] Kido**
You are a terrifying man.
**[14:28] Ohkubo**
All in the name of protecting the state.
**[14:31] Ohkubo**
The only thing left is to arrest
the architect, Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[14:48] Hiramatsu**
You failed to capture the emperor?
**[14:51] Henchman A**
Those who participated in the assault
were either arrested or shot by the police.
**[14:58] Hiramatsu**
We can't justify taking down the government
if we don't capture the emperor!
**[15:05] Hiramatsu**
What about the newspapers?
**[15:08] Hiramatsu**
The Satsuma warriors will be outraged at
hearing Saigou was killed by the government.
**[15:13] Henchman A**
Well, um, it seems the newspapers
have gotten word that Saigou is alive.
**[15:17] Hiramatsu**
How can that be?
**[15:19] Henchman A**
We're currently investigating.
**[15:23] Hiramatsu**
I don't expect *everything*
to go the way I want,
**[15:27] Hiramatsu**
but this is an upsetting turn.
**[15:30] Henchman A**
Also, someone from the Moriya Clan is here,
requesting to meet with you.
**[15:34] Hiramatsu**
Let him in.
**[15:35] Henchman A**
Come.
**[15:38] Gotou**
Kyoushirou is coming.
**[15:41] Gotou**
Let me kill him.
**[15:44] Hiramatsu**
I see. He's coming here, is he?
**[15:49] Guard A**
Intruder!
**[15:54] Guard B**
What the...
**[16:35] Gotou**
Kyoushirou.
**[16:37] Gotou**
Kyoushirou!
**[16:40] Kyoushirou**
Bastard. Is that you, Gotou?
**[16:42] Gotou**
I'm constantly thirsty
because of my burns.
**[16:47] Gotou**
Let me drink your blood.
**[16:49] Gotou**
Let me!
**[16:58] Kyoushirou**
He's so strong.
**[17:01] Hiramatsu**
Are you surprised?
**[17:04] Kyoushirou**
Hiramatsu Buhei!
**[17:05] Hiramatsu**
I have given him the special blend
of opium I prepared.
**[17:10] Hiramatsu**
He won't live long, but he's stronger,
and he feels no pain.
**[17:15] Kyoushirou**
You freak.
**[17:17] Hiramatsu**
Is that the extent of your fury,
Shuragami Kyoushirou?
**[17:21] Hiramatsu**
It seems you aren't worthy
of standing before me.
**[17:29] Shizuma**
Big talk for someone
who's standing by watching.
**[17:34] Hiramatsu**
Filthy policeman. How dare you
defile my ship with your dirty shoes!
**[17:39] Hiramatsu**
I won't stand for it!
**[17:40] Shizuma**
So what if you don't?
**[17:41] Hiramatsu**
I will cut you down where you stand.
**[17:47] Kyoushirou**
He's my target!
**[18:16] Shizuma**
He stole my prey.
**[18:17] Gotou**
Move.
**[18:19] Shizuma**
Sorry, but it looks like
you're facing me now.
**[18:22] Gotou**
I'm not here for you!
**[18:28] Shizuma**
For all your brawn,
you're not that impressive.
**[18:31] Shizuma**
That's why you couldn't catch Shuragami.
**[18:34] Gotou**
Go to hell!
**[18:40] Shizuma**
This way, freak!
**[19:15] Kyoushirou**
I will make you pay for
what you did six years ago.
**[19:19] Hiramatsu**
Is that all you have in your head?
Petty revenge?
**[19:23] Hiramatsu**
You think such a lowly man...
**[19:26] Hiramatsu**
can slay *me?*
**[19:29] Kyoushirou**
To hell with you!
**[19:37] Hiramatsu**
The revival of the proud and
beautiful world of the samurai...
**[19:41] Hiramatsu**
That is the grand purpose I fight for.
**[19:44] Hiramatsu**
I could never be defeated
by the likes of *you*.
**[19:48] Kyoushirou**
A pompous, festering
infatuation no one asked for.
**[19:50] Hiramatsu**
I don't expect you to
understand my great wish.
**[19:55] Hiramatsu**
Die like a stray dog!
**[20:07] Kyoushirou**
I don't need to hear
your pretentious speech.
**[20:09] Kyoushirou**
I simply resent that you go on living.
**[20:16] Kyoushirou**
There will be no balance until I kill you.
**[20:24] Hiramatsu**
Don't think that this is over.
**[20:28] Hiramatsu**
Matsudaira Katamori-sama
will see this through, even if I fall.
**[20:32] Hiramatsu**
He will gather the former samurai,
**[20:35] Hiramatsu**
defeat the government,
and revive the world of the samurai.
**[20:41] Shizuma**
Sadly for you, Katamori-sama won't rise up.
**[20:44] Hiramatsu**
What?
**[20:48] Shizuma**
The age of the samurai is over.
**[20:51] Shizuma**
The clock cannot be turned back.
**[20:54] Shizuma**
That is the message from our lord.
**[20:57] Hiramatsu**
No...
**[20:58] Hiramatsu**
Impossible.
**[21:00] Hiramatsu**
Impossible!
**[21:06] Hiramatsu**
It's over.
**[21:12] Hiramatsu**
I shall at least perish in a
manner that befits a samurai.
**[21:21] Shizuma**
You're committing seppuku?
**[21:38] Hiramatsu**
Forgive me.
**[22:04] Hiramatsu**
M-My topknot.
**[22:06] Hiramatsu**
My topknot!
**[22:11] Shizuma**
Aren't you going to kill him?
**[22:13] Kyoushirou**
I have.
**[22:14] Kyoushirou**
I killed his pride.
**[22:27] Dario**
Kyoushirou-sama.
**[22:38] Kyoushirou**
It's just you and me now.
**[22:40] Shizuma**
Shuragami Kyoushirou...
**[22:43] Shizuma**
I'm arresting you.
**[22:46] Kyoushirou**
Do you really think I'll let you?
**[22:53] Shizuma**
Then...
**[22:54] Shizuma**
We'll have to let our
katanas do the talking.
**[23:00] Shizuma**
Shuragami Kyoushirou.
**[23:02] Kyoushirou**
Origasa Shizuma.
**[23:04] Shizuma**
May it be a fair fight!
**[23:04] Kyoushirou**
May it be a fair fight!
**[24:10] Kyoushirou**
It seems my fate is to be burned alive,
whether I win or lose.
**[24:14] Shizuma**
You and me both.
**[24:15] Kyoushirou**
We can amuse each other
on our way to the other side.
**[25:02] Shizuma**
Shuragami!
**[25:19] Kyoushirou**
What... are you doing?
**[25:22] Shizuma**
We're getting out of here.
**[25:25] Kyoushirou**
Leave me.
**[25:27] Kyoushirou**
You'll only end up dying with me.
**[25:29] Shizuma**
I'm the oni killer of Aizu.
**[25:31] Shizuma**
I'm not going down here!
**[25:41] Shizuma**
Hey!
**[25:43] Kyoushirou**
It looks like this is it.
**[25:46] Shizuma**
Don't screw around! Get up!
**[25:49] Kyoushirou**
What a noisy man.
**[25:52] Kyoushirou**
Sorry, but I'm going to
the other side on my own.
**[25:57] Kyoushirou**
I prefer traveling in silence.
**[26:09] Shizuma**
Hey. Shuragami.
**[26:19] Shizuma**
Shuragami!
**[26:46] Kamejirou**
Is Shizuma-san around?
**[26:48] Tanba**
Officer Origasa is on leave.
**[26:51] Midorigawa**
He said he was heading to Ezo.
**[26:53] Kamejirou**
That's too bad.
**[26:55] Kamejirou**
I wanted him to see
our darling newborn daughter.
**[27:01] Tanba**
What's her name?
**[27:03] Koume**
It's Sumie.
**[27:16] Senri**
Hi.
**[27:18] Senri**
You're looking well.
**[27:19] Fujita**
What do you want?
**[27:20] Senri**
That "El Dorado"
Shuragami was talking about...
**[27:23] Senri**
Don't you want to know
the answer to the mystery?
**[27:26] Fujita**
What good would it do you to tell me?
**[27:29] Senri**
I thought I might get
some good information
**[27:32] Senri**
if I got friendly with an agent
of the Metropolitan Police.
**[27:35] Senri**
Of course, you're free
to make use of me, too.
**[27:42] Fujita**
An interesting proposition.
**[27:46] Senri**
Getting to the point, you were right.
**[27:51] Senri**
There was no gold.
**[28:03] Senri**
El Dorado.
**[28:05] Senri**
A secret village
created in Ezo out of view.
**[28:10] Senri**
A paradise for those who have lost their place
in Meiji society to coexist free of prejudice.
**[28:17] Senri**
Status and religion mean nothing there.
**[28:21] Senri**
A true "land of gold."
**[28:26] Fujita**
El Dorado was originally
an experimental farm
**[28:30] Fujita**
set up by former Prussian minister Brandt,
with permission from the Shogunate.
**[28:34] Kawaji**
And so, having determined that Ezo was
appropriate for growing Western crops,
**[28:39] Kawaji**
he manipulated Hiramatsu Buhei into
trying to sign a treaty to sell the land, huh?
**[28:47] Ohkubo**
Alas...
**[28:49] Ohkubo**
In the chaos of the Boshin War,
he was forgotten by the Japanese,
**[28:52] Ohkubo**
and abandoned by the Prussians.
**[28:55] Kawaji**
Shuragami Kyoushirou,
knowing the details of the agreement,
**[29:00] Kawaji**
named the farm "El Dorado" and
made it a new home for his own people.
**[29:04] Kawaji**
What will we do with this land?
**[29:07] Ohkubo**
We do not have time for it right now.
**[29:09] Ohkubo**
The anger of the former samurai
increases by the day.
**[29:12] Ohkubo**
We may encounter a second,
maybe even a third Hiramatsu Buhei.
**[29:17] Kawaji**
We will monitor the most likely areas:
Yamaguchi, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima.
