**[00:02] Jun**
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
**[00:14] Tatsu**
Mother! I'm heading out!
**[00:16] Hisa**
Tatsuzo! Where are you going?
**[00:18] Tat**
The dojo, of course!
**[00:20] Tat**
I henceforth devote myself to the sword!
**[00:27] Tat**
Farewell!
**[00:30] Jun**
Brother?
***SIGN*** Parting
**[01:39] Hisa**
This is no laughing matter.
**[01:41] Hisa**
It's like he's a completely
different person.
**[01:44] Hei**
That's the nature of youth.
**[01:47] Hei**
Sometimes you're focused on play,
**[01:49] Hei**
sometimes you devote yourself to the sword.
**[01:52] Hei**
It's the fickleness of youth.
**[01:56] Hisa**
I wish it weren't like this.
**[01:57] Hei**
It's harmless.
**[02:00] Hei**
He is working hard to learn
a samurai's main skill.
**[02:05] Hei**
Swordplay is the best thing there is.
**[02:07] Jun**
Better than juggling?
**[02:12] Hei**
The sword leads you to others.
**[02:14] Hei**
Strong people, dangerous people,
amusing people...
**[02:18] Hei**
And sometimes you have the
kind of mysterious encounter
**[02:24] Hei**
that appears guided by fate.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Taka**
Enough!
**[02:43] (Flashback) Man**
I give!
**[02:52] (Flashback) Taka**
Next!
**[02:54] (Flashback) Mat**
Excuse me!
**[03:09] (Flashback) Mat**
I am Matsuoka Jubei.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Mat**
I have come for training.
**[03:14] (Flashback) Tet**
A challenge to the dojo?
**[03:18] (Flashback) Taka**
Matsuoka-dono...
**[03:22] (Flashback) Taka**
I may be old, but I hope you'll try me first.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it! I wish he'd let me try.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Tet**
It's been a damned hour!
**[04:07] (Flashback) Tet**
How long are they gonna glare at each other?
**[04:09] (Flashback) Sa**
Look! That sweat...
**[04:23] (Flashback) Taka**
Is that it?
**[04:25] (Flashback) Mat**
Thank you for the fine training.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Tet**
I request a match!
**[04:50] (Flashback) Tet**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[04:54] (Flashback) Sama**
He really got you, Tetsu-san!
**[05:02] (Flashback) Sama**
The man had an air about him, though.
**[05:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Just who was he?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it!
**[05:15] (Flashback) Sama**
Want a little distraction tonight, Tetsu-san?
**[05:19] (Flashback) Tet**
Yeah.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Tet**
But I'm a little light on funds.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Den**
Tetsusaburo! How have you been?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Tet**
I'm happy to see that
you remain well, Father.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Den**
How respectful of you.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Den**
Is this what you're after?
**[05:43] (Flashback) Den**
Hurry! Hatsu's coming!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Den**
How are things at the dojo?
**[05:51] (Flashback) Den**
Sir, I'm giving it my all.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Den**
Tetsusaburo...
**[05:58] (Flashback) Den**
I know well that you don't
want to stay at this house,
**[06:02] (Flashback) Den**
and that you have an excess
of pent-up resentment.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Den**
That's why I entrusted
you to Takasugi-sensei.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Den**
He's the one who trained me, after all.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Den**
Follow your master's teachings,
**[06:17] (Flashback) Den**
and you'll never step wrong.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Tet**
I shall.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Hatsu**
What a lot of nonsense.
He's already off the path.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Den**
Hatsu!
**[06:27] (Flashback) Hatsu**
My lord. Spending money for the prodigal son?
**[06:31] (Flashback) Hatsu**
How kind of you.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Den**
I wasn't...
**[06:36] (Flashback) Tet**
Mother—
**[06:37] (Flashback) Hat**
I am not your mother!
**[06:39] (Flashback) Hat**
You're the son of a peasant
woman from Sugamo Village.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Hat**
I won't be called "mother"
by a bastard like you.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Hat**
Or do you still wish to inherit the estate?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Hat**
Sneaking around like a street cat,
begging your father for money...
**[06:57] (Flashback) Hat**
Ruffian!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Hat**
Come here! Come here!
**[07:00] (Flashback) Den**
It's just Tetsusaburo.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Den**
Stay back! Stay back!
**[07:06] (Flashback) Tet**
Mother...
**[07:08] (Flashback) Tet**
How old are you now?
**[07:10] (Flashback) Tet**
You'd better get to work finding an heir,
**[07:12] (Flashback) Tet**
or you'll run out of time.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Tet**
Farewell.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Sama**
Tetsu-san, did something happen to you?
**[07:21] (Flashback) Tet**
Oh, no. It's nothing.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Hiko**
Hey, Tetsu-san!
**[07:26] (Flashback) Sama**
Hey there, Hikoju.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Hiko**
Heading out on the town?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Tet**
Yeah.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Hiko**
For you-know-what? Or you-know-what-else?
**[07:35] (Flashback) Hiko**
You know, you know...
**[07:38] (Flashback) Tet**
Both.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Tet**
Want to join us?
**[07:41] (Flashback) Hiko**
Most gladly!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Girl**
Oh, Tetsu-san, you've been so cold lately.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Man**
Hey, Tetsu-san! You're loaded today.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Man**
How about putting it on the line?
**[07:59] (Flashback) Tet**
I lost!
**[08:01] (Flashback) Tet**
Hold it right there!
**[08:08] (Flashback) Tet**
Take that!
**[08:27] (Flashback) Tet**
What a wild night.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Tet**
But I feel a lot better now. Damn it...
**[08:37] (Flashback) Tet**
I saw my dad.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Chu**
Well, well...
**[08:45] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Tet**
Having to beg for money...
**[08:49] (Flashback) ---**
Knowing that woman of his was there...
**[08:57] (Flashback) Tet**
It's pathetic.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Tet**
It's pathetic!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Tet**
Maybe I'll become a thief. Like you.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Tet**
Then I'll never have to
see her ugly face again.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Chu**
Don't be like that. That's all in the past.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Tet**
The sign out front says The Thief's Bar.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Tet**
Pretty ballsy.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Chu**
It's more like a warning.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Chu**
Tetsu-san, let me warn you.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Chu**
Don't lose your head.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Chu**
You're an honest man, deep down.
**[09:41] (Flashback) Chu**
There's nothing worse than an
honest man becoming a thief.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Chu**
With hands stained by wicked deeds,
**[09:47] (Flashback) ---**
you'll try to wipe them clean with worse.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Chu**
Little by little, you'll find yourself—
**[10:00] (Flashback) Oma**
He's asleep?
**[10:03] (Flashback) Oma**
Oh, Tetsu-san... what'll we do with you?
**[10:09] (Flashback) Chu**
Tetsu-san, c'mon.
**[10:11] (Flashback) ---**
You'll catch cold there.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Taka**
As you saw yesterday,
Matsuoka-dono's skill is impressive.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Taka**
He's hesitant to leave right away,
**[10:40] (Flashback) ---**
so he'll be staying with us here for a while.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Mat**
Takasugi-sensei overwhelmed me
with his passion and kindness.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Mat**
I hope you'll accept me.
**[10:52] (Flashback) All**
Welcome!
**[10:56] (Flashback) Tet**
I request a match.
**[11:51] Tet**
*He's... the real thing.*
**[12:06] (Flashback) Mat**
Your strength means nothing
without skill and technique!
**[12:11] (Flashback) Mat**
Next!
**[12:12] (Flashback) Stu**
Sir!
**[12:15] (Flashback) Sama**
Ow, ow...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Sama**
Means nothing, he says.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Tet**
You require more training.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Sama**
Matsuoka-san's kicking our asses.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Tet**
"Sensei." Call him Matsuoka-sensei!
**[12:33] (Flashback) Mat**
They've really livened up.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Taka**
Thanks to you, Matsuoka-dono.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Mat**
I doubt it.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Mat**
They're all splendid young men.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Taka**
How long are you in Edo?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Taka**
If you wish, you could remain—
**[12:49] (Flashback) Mat**
I cannot.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Mat**
That is... I'm a poor samurai from Koshu.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Mat**
I didn't come to Edo for my stipend,
**[12:58] (Flashback) ---**
but to care for a sick relative.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Taka**
I see.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Taka**
I had no idea. Forgive me.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Mat**
Not at all.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Mat**
At my age, I can't help
but worry for the future.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Mat**
I need a successor,
**[13:15] (Flashback) ---**
but none of them have mastered the art yet.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa, perhaps?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Taka**
He's strong, but he can't handle it.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Taka**
He only practices the sword
to vent his resentment.
**[13:26] (Flashback) Mat**
Now that you mention it,
**[13:28] (Flashback) ---**
there's more driving him than just
the usual competitive spirit.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Taka**
From what his father tells me,
**[13:34] (Flashback) ---**
it won't be easy to correct.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Taka**
Despite how he presents himself,
he has a rather tragic background.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Taka**
Family circumstances.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Tet**
What do you guys want?
**[14:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Tetsu-san, it's the gambling
house guys from before.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Tet**
Oh, yeah?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Tet**
Came to get back the money you frauds lost?
**[14:15] (Flashback) Yaku**
Our boss isn't that worried about money.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Yaku**
We've come to collect... on your life!
**[14:25] (Flashback) Tet**
Interesting.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Yaku**
Hey! You!
**[14:30] (Flashback) Yaku**
Matsuoka-sensei!
**[14:31] (Flashback) Mat**
Stay out of this.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Yak**
Who the hell are you?
**[14:34] (Flashback) Yak**
You wanna fight?
**[14:36] (Flashback) Tet**
Sensei!
**[14:37] (Flashback) Mat**
Stay out of this!
**[14:38] (Flashback) Yaku**
Die!
**[14:47] (Flashback) Yaku**
Get him!
**[14:58] (Flashback) Yaku**
D-Damn it...
**[15:07] (Flashback) Tet**
Amazing.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa...
**[15:11] (Flashback) ---**
Come with me.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Mat**
You visit here frequently?
**[15:20] (Flashback) Tet**
No...
**[15:24] (Flashback) Mat**
"Honjo no Tetsu," I hear.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Woman**
Welcome!
**[15:28] (Flashback) Mat**
Hearing about you reminded
me of my own youth.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Mat**
I was quite a fool back then.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Mat**
Alcohol, women, gambling, brawls...
**[15:41] (Flashback) Mat**
I was a reckless man.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Tet**
You, sensei?
**[15:45] (Flashback) Mat**
Resentment towards the world, I think.
**[15:51] (Flashback) Mat**
The truth is...
**[15:53] (Flashback) ---**
I'm the son of a temple's
head priest and a concubine.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Mat**
It was a rather famous temple,
**[16:00] (Flashback) ---**
so I'm sure it was quite a scandal.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Mat**
My mother said he gave her
money and threw her out.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Mat**
She died when I was twelve.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Mat**
But forget that.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Mat**
Such talk makes the wine lose its flavor.
**[16:18] (Flashback) ---**
Here's what I wanted to say:
**[16:21] (Flashback) ---**
It's fine to blow off steam.
**[16:23] (Flashback) ---**
That's the nature of youth.
**[16:26] (Flashback) ---**
But Hasegawa...
**[16:28] (Flashback) ---**
Don't do anything to
disgrace Takasugi-sensei.
**[16:32] (Flashback) ---**
That's the line you must draw.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Tet**
Yes, sir.
***SIGN*** Simplicity and Fortitude
**[16:46] (Flashback) Sama**
Tet-san, you're enthusiastic today, aren't you?
**[16:49] (Flashback) Tet**
I've been reborn!
**[16:52] (Flashback) Tet**
I've decided to drop my
resentment of the world!
**[16:58] (Flashback) Taka**
Hasegawa!
**[17:00] (Flashback) Taka**
A message from the mansion.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Kam**
It's been a while, Tetsusaburo.
**[17:12] (Flashback) Kam**
It's me! Your cousin, Nagakura Kamesaburo!
**[17:16] (Flashback) Tet**
Father, what in the...
**[17:18] (Flashback) Hat**
You're the one who told me to find an heir.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Tet**
You mean...
**[17:23] (Flashback) Hat**
I'm adopting Kamesaburo here.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Den**
Enough, Hatsu.
**[17:28] (Flashback) Den**
That's not why we—
**[17:29] (Flashback) Hat**
Your dilly-dallying gets us nowhere.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Hat**
Blood is important for
continuing a warrior family.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Hat**
True blood, not that of a bastard!
**[17:40] (Flashback) Hat**
Tetsusaburo, what do you think?
**[17:44] (Flashback) Hat**
Go ahead. Tell us just what you're thinking.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Hat**
Wh-What exactly is so funny?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Hey, Tetsu-san! What's wrong, Tetsu-san?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Sama**
What happened?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Hiok**
Hey, Tetsu-san!
**[18:13] (Flashback) Hiok**
Hey, Tetsu-san! I've been looking everywhere!
**[18:18] (Flashback) Tet**
A big job?
**[18:20] (Flashback) Hiko**
Keep it down!
**[18:22] (Flashback) Hiko**
I know this freelance thief.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Hiko**
He's going to run a job,
and he needs a little help.
**[18:31] (Flashback) Hiko**
Of course, he's not asking you
to join him for the break-in.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Hiko**
He just needs someone to row
the boat for the getaway.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Hiko**
It'll be three days from now.
**[18:40] (Flashback) Hiko**
The target is Kameso,
a restaurant in Asakusa.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Hiko**
Your share is fifty ryo!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Sama**
Fifty ryo?!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Tet**
Sounds fun.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Tet**
You in, Sama?
**[18:52] (Flashback) Sama**
Well, fifty's a lot.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Hiko**
It's done!
**[19:14] (Flashback) Tet**
Hey! This way!
**[19:17] (Flashback) Tet**
Hurry!
**[19:23] (Flashback) Tet**
What're you doing?!
**[19:26] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa!
**[19:29] (Flashback) Tet**
Matsuoka-sensei!
**[19:31] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa...
**[19:33] (Flashback) ---**
What did I tell you?
**[19:35] (Flashback) Mat**
I said, don't do anything
to disgrace Takasugi-sensei!
**[19:40] (Flashback) Mat**
Don't you...
**[19:43] (Flashback) ---**
Don't you...
**[19:46] (Flashback) Mat**
Don't you become like me!
**[19:55] (Flashback) Thief**
Sensei, we're out of time.
**[19:57] (Flashback) Thief**
Hurry!
**[20:18] Mat**
*Tetsusaburo...*
**[20:20] Mat**
*Samanosuke...*
**[20:23] Mat**
*Take care of Takasugi-sensei.*
**[20:31] Hisa**
What happened to Matsuoka-sensei after that?
**[20:35] Hei**
He never came back to the dojo.
**[20:40] Hei**
I don't know where he is now.
**[20:44] Hei**
It's clear that Matsuoka Jubei
was part of a thief's gang.
**[20:49] Hei**
He mocked Takasugi-sensei, betrayed us,
**[20:53] ---**
and disappeared into the dark.
**[20:55] Hei**
But...
**[20:58] Hei**
But... sometimes, I think...
**[21:02] Hei**
If it hadn't been for Matsuoka-sensei,
**[21:06] Hei**
there'd be no Hasegawa Heizo of
the Arson & Theft Department.
**[21:20] Tat**
Oh, er... I forgot something.
**[21:23] Hei**
Money for the bars?
**[21:24] Tat**
How did you know?
**[21:26] Hei**
Fool! You fell into my trap.
**[21:30] Tat**
You're too smart for me, Father.
**[21:36] Hei**
Be back by dawn.
**[21:39] Tat**
You're sure?
**[21:41] Hei**
Just go!
**[21:42] Tat**
Thank you, Father!
**[21:45] Hei**
Tatsuzo!
**[21:48] Hei**
It's fine to blow off steam.
**[21:50] Hei**
That's the nature of youth.
**[21:53] Hei**
But don't do anything
to disgrace your sensei.
**[21:59] Hei**
That's the line you must draw.
**[22:02] Tat**
Yes, sir!
**[22:03] Hei**
Okay, go on!
**[22:04] Tat**
Goodbye!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:41] Tat**
Heizo is reminded of a certain thief
with a clever trick behind his heists.
**[23:49] Tat**
And then...
