[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.

[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.

    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.

[13:53] Kyoushirou
    Leave it to me.

     about swordsmanship...

    Deal.

    Two fours. Even.

    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.

    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.

[15:24] 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
    Dario, could you please
    make it more entertaining?
[18:40] Dario
    Just keep quiet and watch.
[18:49] Tsushima
    What the hell is this?!
[18:50] Shioya
    Shit!
[18:58] Captain
    Mister Fox!
[19:00] Fox mask
    I'll meet you up ahead.
[19:07] Dario
    Whoops.
[19:08] Gentsugu
    That will do. Let us go.
[19:11] Dario
    Just a sec.

[19:20] Fujishima
    An ambush?
[19:21] Fujishima
    Who was behind it?
[19:23] Captain
    I couldn't see them.
[19:25] Fujishima
    Our precious cargo!
[19:34] Captain
    Mister Fox has a ship!
[19:35] Fujishima
    We're in luck!
SIGN    Soba
     All Welcome
[19:45] Makino
    What's wrong? You look like
    you're at your mother's funeral.
[19:49] Osanai
    Well...
[19:51] Osanai
    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

    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!
