    The Boshin War, a decisive conflict.
[00:37] Narrator
    Armed with cutting-edge weaponry,
    the new government military based in Satchou
[00:43] Narrator
    has waged an all-out
    assault on Tsuruga Castle

    What?!
[01:14] D
    Ambush!
[01:15] Shizuma

    Shizuma!
[01:38] Gen'nosuke
    You did it, Shizuma.
[01:40] Shizuma
    Yeah.
[01:46] Shizuma
    Gen'nosuke!
[01:48] Kawaji
    That one is the oni killer of Aizu!
[01:50] Kawaji
    Kill them both!
[01:53] Shizuma
    Let's go.
[01:54] Gen'nosuke
    Leave me.
[01:56] Shizuma
    Shut up!
[02:14] Gen'nosuke
    This is it, isn't it?
    F-For the castle, and for me.
[02:19] Shizuma
    Wait for me on the other side.
    I'll take a few down with me before I join you.
[02:25] Gen'nosuke
    No.

    You must live.

    Live... and protect Sumie.

    Protect Sumie...
[02:44] Shizuma
    All right.
[02:46] Shizuma
    I promise.
[02:54] Narrator
    Tsuruga Castle soon fell

    of the new government forces.
[03:01] Narrator
    And with the surrender of Aizu's lord,
    Matsudaira Katamori,

    That's not a face I've seen around here.
[03:35] Shizuma

    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.

[06:11] Kikuma

    Ohkubo Toshimichi
[06:29] Ohkubo
    For the Minister of the Right

[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.

    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.

    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...

[16:53] Kikuma
    Ah, brother. Gambling again?
[16:56] Kikuma
    I bet you lost all your money.

[17:14] Kikuma
    Not to worry. We'll take

[17:41] Hizuru
    Well, as you are such righteous men,

    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.

    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

[20:35] Kawaji
    You have nowhere to run.
[20:37] Kumakichi
    You're in way over your head, Ohkubo's dog.
[20:39] Kumakichi

[20:45] Kumakichi
    Impossible. I was sure I hit you.
[21:00] Shizuma
    Sorry, but...

[21:34] Kawaji
    You've got some luck.

    I'm not so sure.

    It may be a curse.

    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?
