What?!

Ambush!

**[01:38] Gen'nosuke**
You did it, Shizuma.
**[01:40] Shizuma**
Yeah.
**[01:46] Shizuma**
Gen'nosuke!
**[01:48] Kawaji**
That one is the oni killer of Aizu!
**[01:50] Kawaji**
Kill them both!
**[01:53] Shizuma**
Let's go.
**[01:54] Gen'nosuke**
Leave me.
**[01:56] Shizuma**
Shut up!
**[02:14] Gen'nosuke**
This is it, isn't it?
F-For the castle, and for me.
**[02:19] Shizuma**
Wait for me on the other side.
I'll take a few down with me before I join you.
**[02:25] Gen'nosuke**
No.
**[02:27] Gen'nosuke**
You must live.
**[02:29] Gen'nosuke**
Live... and protect Sumie.

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

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

**[21:58] Hizuru**
Etou-sensei, we would like you to consider
heading the anti-government army.
**[22:06] Etou**
Forgive me, but I have
no intention of doing that.
**[22:09] Etou**
Military action is a last resort.
**[22:11] Etou**

through the power of law and reason.
