# Meiji Gekken: 1874
By 1874, seven years have passed since the end of the samurai era. A former samurai, Shizuma Orikasa works as a rickshaw driver in Tokyo while looking for his fiancée, Sumie Kanomata, who went missing during the Boshin War. Shizuma thwarts an assassination attempt and joins the newly established police department, where he’ll fight to stop dark forces from overthrowing the government.

Have you seen the girl in this photo?

Her name's Kanomata Sumie.

That's not a face I've seen around here.
**[03:35] Shizuma**
I'm sure she's grown since this was taken.

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.

It felt like it.
**[06:12] Kumakichi**
Then we're done here. Let's go.
**[06:21] Kawaji**
Unacceptable!

**[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.

3-6, odd!

Can I help you, sir?
**[12:28] Kyoushirou**

in this establishment?
**[12:32] Dealer**
I'd appreciate you not
talking out of your ass.

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**

**[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.

You aren't getting away with this!
**[13:58] Dealer**
Take this!
**[14:03] Kyoushirou**
Don't bother.

You'll only embarrass yourself further.

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.

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.

**[21:20] Osanai**

so spry after being shot?
**[21:32] Kawaji**

**[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**

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.

**[19:07] B**
Explain yourselves!
**[19:08] C**
Yeah! Do something!
**[19:10] Gotou**
Calm down, everyone!
**[19:12] Tamura**
How are we supposed to stay calm?!
**[19:14] Tamura**
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.

Wanna have some fun?
**[01:18] Kawaguchi**
What a coincidence.
**[01:20] Kawaguchi**
I was looking for someone

**[02:58] Kamejirou**
No luck today, either, huh?
**[03:00] Shizuma**
It's fine. I'll just ask every

**[03:05] Shizuma**
Sumie and I are the only

**[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**

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

**[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

**[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

**[06:19] Shizuma**
He's still alive. Hospital, quick!

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.

**[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

There is no need for us to hold back.
**[16:58] Kuraya**
Let's go.
**[16:59] Kawaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:11] Kuraya**
Who are you?!
**[17:14] Kawaguchi**
Kuraya-sama, are you hurt?
**[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**

**[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.
**[02:09] Midorikawa**

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.

You're kidding.
**[03:18] Midorikawa**
Is this even legal?
**[03:21] Osanai**
I don't know.
**[03:21] Koto**
Even wooden swords can kill.
**[03:24] Koto**
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

**[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!

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.

Aizu and Shounai.
**[03:14] Saigou**
Those two domains should make

**[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.

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.

I shall lend you my aid.

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.

**[27:11] Shizuma**
Please. Tell me!
**[27:14] Koume**
The Shokonsha shrine.

**[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!

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.

Hold it!
**[01:00] Senri**
Sand?
**[01:16] Minagawa**
We will make our departure from here.
**[01:20] Minagawa**
Be ready to initiate
the plan immediately.
**[01:23] Subordinate**
We'll need additional men.
**[01:25] Minagawa**
Make use of Moriya's people.

**[02:11] Genjou**
This is serious.
**[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.

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

**[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.

As agents of justice, I request that
you zealously carry out your duties.
**[14:41] All**

**[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.

Please restrain yourself.

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.

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?

Die!

You're staying here.

Where did you leave your Aizu pride?
**[18:44] Gen'nosuke**
Shame on you, Shizuma.
**[18:48] Shizuma**

**[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

**[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

**[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!*

**[02:30] Moriya**
Get him!
**[02:39] Moriya**

off Tsukudajima Island.
**[02:42] Moriya**
He's waiting for us to
return with the emperor.

**[03:44] Minagawa**
You are a villain for siding with them!
**[03:47] Shizuma**
Are you done talking yet?
**[03:57] Minagawa**
You will never stop the plan.
**[04:00] Minagawa**
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.
