Let's buy some!

I want some candy!

EPISODE 10:
A REASON TO ACT
[01:56] ---
How many years has it been
since I last made some ohagi?
[02:00] ---
My.
[02:03] ---
My, my, my.
[02:05] ---
This is tasty, that it is.
[02:06] ---
Thanks.
[02:08] ---
But anyone can make a tasty ohagi.
[02:11] ---
Oh, no. Last time Miss Kaoru made some,
[02:14] ---
it was like balls of mud—
[02:17] ---
Oro...
[02:18] ---
Don't say things you don't need to say.
[02:20] ---
You really are
a troublesome, violent girl.
[02:24] ---
- Ororo.
- So how about it?
[02:25] ---
You can leave her and see me instead.
[02:28] ---
Miss Megumi!
[02:34] ---
I let my guard down a little bit,
and you press your luck!
[02:37] ---
I thought I told you that I'd kick you out
if you made moves on Kenshin!
[02:40] ---
Oh? Love and romance
is up to each individual.
[02:44] ---
How you nitpick
each and every time like that
[02:47] ---
is proof you're
not confident in yourself, isn't it?
[02:50] ---
If you're frustrated, why don't you
become able to make tasty ohagi?
[02:55] ---
I can't talk back.
[02:59] ---
I thought she'd end up
slightly more graceful,
[03:01] ---
but she hasn't changed a bit.
[03:03] ---
But she's a lot brighter and lively
compared to before, that she is.
[03:08] ---
That's a good thing, that it is.
[03:10] ---
It's not good!
[03:11] ---
What is this farce
so early in the morning?
[03:14] ---
Oh, Sano.
[03:16] ---
The old man's got the results.
[03:18] ---
Without a doubt, this is the new opium
that is the talk of the town.
[03:23] ---
I see, so it is.
[03:27] ---
You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?
You want some?
[03:29] ---
Don't want any.
[03:31] ---
I don't wanna eat anything
made by opium girl,
[03:34] ---
even more so than anything made by missie.
[03:36] ---
Wha—
[03:40] ---
I've been up all night.
[03:42] ---
I'm gonna borrow a bedroom,
so wake me up when the noon-gun goes off.
[03:45] ---
Hold it just a second!
I can't let that last line pass!
[03:50] ---
There, there.
[03:52] ---
Don't let that get to you either,
Miss Megumi.
[03:56] ---
We figured out that Miss Megumi
was the creator of the opium,
[03:59] ---
but at the same time,
we learned of your past,
[04:02] ---
making us unable to pin the blame on you
even if we wanted to.
[04:06] ---
On top of that, Kanryu's group hasn't made
any moves whatsoever for a week since.
[04:11] ---
He lost sight of what to do
with the fist he raised.
[04:16] ---
That's probably what's behind
his irritation, that it is.
[04:20] ---
Let's leave him be for a while,
that we should.
[04:27] ---
"Opium girl," huh?
[04:30] ---
Hello!
[04:32] ---
Thanks for your continued patronage.
I'm the book lender.
[04:36] ---
I have quite a few new books.
How about it?
[04:39] ---
I see.
[04:41] ---
Miss, I see you often lately.
[04:44] ---
Are you going to be a new resident here?
[04:47] ---
No, I'm just a freeloader.
[04:50] ---
So I see.
[04:52] ---
That's good.
[04:55] ---
Now quiet.
[04:57] ---
If you make a ruckus,
I'll pour this into that well.
[05:00] ---
Mercury!
[05:02] ---
Kanryu Takeda wishes to speak to you.
[05:05] ---
Can you make an effort to come by?
[05:14] ---
What do you want to talk about?
[05:17] ---
That goes without saying, doesn't it?
[05:20] ---
Why don't you just hurry up
and come back to us?
[05:23] ---
I'd rather die than go back to your place.
[05:26] ---
I see. If you're not coming back...
[05:31] ---
we will burn Kamiya Dojo down.
[05:35] ---
My private army, the Oniwaban Group,
and the neighborhood yakuza,
[05:40] ---
all 500 of us will surround the place
so that not one mouse can escape.
[05:46] ---
Then we will launch fire arrows.
[05:48] ---
"If the small cuckoo
refuses to shed a tear,
[05:50] ---
just kill it right off."
[05:55] ---
Why don't you give up
on having dreams already?
[05:59] ---
It is an unavoidable fact
that you refined opium.
[06:03] ---
Even if you could meet your family,
[06:06] ---
what would happen if people found out
a Takani girl did such a thing?
[06:11] ---
It's too late for you to run now.
[06:15] ---
You, me, and opium all share one fate...
[06:20] ---
now and forever.
[06:23] ---
Oh, that's right.
[06:24] ---
The place will burn tonight at midnight.
[06:27] ---
There isn't much time 'til then,
so please gather your thoughts by then.
[06:31] ---
See you.
[06:36] ---
You think she'll come back...
[06:37] ---
that woman?
[06:39] ---
I'd be troubled if she didn't.
[06:42] ---
Now that we have learned that the one
with the cross-shaped scar
[06:45] ---
is the legendary manslayer
Himura Battosai,
[06:47] ---
it is best to not use brute-force tactics
that would bring down his wrath on us.
[06:53] ---
"Megumi Takani left of her own free will."
[06:57] ---
And if that's the case, there's no reason
whatsoever for Battosai to make a move.
[07:03] ---
A reason, huh?
[07:08] ---
I can't escape.
[07:10] ---
Not from Kanryu. Not from opium.
[07:14] ---
Not for the rest of my life.
[07:18] ---
"Opium girl."
[07:24] ---
Greetings.
[07:26] ---
Please forgive me
for leaving quietly of my own accord.
[07:30] ---
It seems Kanryu's pursuers
have stopped coming,
[07:33] ---
so I will start heading back to Aizu.
[07:36] ---
It was only for about ten days, but I
really thank you so much for your help.
[07:41] ---
"Sincerely, Megumi Takani."
[07:45] ---
Well, this is kind of a letdown.
[07:49] ---
I screwed up!
[07:51] ---
Kenshin?
[07:52] ---
There shouldn't be anyone who is waiting
for Miss Megumi back in Aizu now!
[07:57] ---
There's no doubt that one of Kanryu's men
contacted and threatened her!
[08:01] ---
Sano, you know where Kanryu's mansion is,
don't you? Let's go!
[08:04] ---
You go on ahead.
[08:06] ---
Why do I have to do anything
for that opium girl?
[08:11] ---
Sanosuke? Since when do you say such lame—
[08:15] ---
That's enough, Sano.
[08:18] ---
This isn't like you.
[08:25] ---
My buddy was a candy seller.
[08:29] ---
He loved gambling and the smiles
of kids who came to buy his candy.
[08:33] ---
Good-natured, but a good-for-nothing.
[08:36] ---
But then...
he died because of the opium she made.
[08:41] ---
Where in that story
is there a reason for me to act?
[08:45] ---
I'm not as much of a sucker as you are,
nor am I a rurouni!
[08:55] ---
Sano, you didn't look closely
at Miss Megumi's eyes, that you didn't.
[09:00] ---
Eyes?
[09:02] ---
She may have acted tough,
but there was a moment
[09:05] ---
when she looked at us
with lonesome eyes, that there was.
[09:09] ---
You're...
[09:11] ---
Go tell Kanryu that Megumi Takani
has returned right now.
[09:17] ---
Those were eyes looking for friends
[09:19] ---
she can open up to like family,
that they were.
[09:23] ---
If someone needs a reason
for each and every act,
[09:27] ---
that reason is enough for me,
that it is.
[09:33] ---
Kenshin, I'll go with you!
[09:35] ---
Hold it, Yahiko! Even if you go,
you'll just get in the way!
[09:39] ---
Shut up!
That woman saved my life once already!
[09:43] ---
I'm gonna go help her
even if my life is at risk!
[09:46] ---
If I can't do that,
[09:47] ---
then what is the life-giving sword
of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryu?
[09:54] ---
That kid has become
a pretty good swordsman
[09:57] ---
in his own right before we knew it.
[09:59] ---
Looks like this will take all night.
[10:02] ---
Don't forget to have breakfast for five
and a hot morning bath ready.
[10:06] ---
Sanosuke!
[10:10] ---
I'm done thinking about trivial things!
[10:13] ---
I'll be like my usual self
and go make trouble!
[10:18] ---
All right.
[10:20] ---
Let's go!
[10:22] ---
RUROUNI KENSHIN
[10:28] ---
So this is Kanryu Takeda's mansion.
[10:32] ---
Yeah.
[10:33] ---
So, how are we going
to take this place down?
[10:35] ---
A surprise attack with a small army
depends on its speed.
[10:38] ---
After the gate goes down,
[10:39] ---
we're going to race full speed
to the entrance, that we will.
[10:42] ---
So we're breaking through the front door.
[10:45] ---
All right!
[10:46] ---
Sanosuke.
[10:48] ---
Don't you fall behind us.
Got that?
[10:53] ---
Let's go!
[10:56] ---
What the...
[11:04] ---
Welcome back, Megumi.
[11:06] ---
I always knew you would come back.
[11:09] ---
This is the only place
you can return to, after all.
[11:13] ---
I hate to cut to the chase, but my supply
of Spiderweb is running low.
[11:17] ---
You will make some for me, yes?
[11:22] ---
This is a problem.
[11:24] ---
You are always so rebellious.
[11:27] ---
Though I really do cherish you.
[11:31] ---
What you cherish is the profit
the opium I make creates, no?
[11:36] ---
Yes.
[11:37] ---
And I am making an effort
to cherish you as an afterthought.
[11:41] ---
I see.
[11:43] ---
Unfortunately for you,
I'm not here to make any opium.
[11:47] ---
Huh?
[11:48] ---
Kanryu Takeda...
[11:50] ---
I'm here to kill you!
[11:53] ---
Don't worry. We share the same fate.
[11:57] ---
I will die soon enough as well.
[12:00] ---
I have no intent of gaining
any more sins in this life.
[12:04] ---
We're going to hell together.
[12:06] ---
That's the least I can do to atone
for causing people agony with opium.
[12:16] ---
My dagger...
[12:18] ---
That's enough.
[12:24] ---
D-D-Damn wench!
[12:30] ---
I screwed up and pushed too hard
with the last doctor!
[12:34] ---
So I was nice to you,
and you let it get to your head!
[12:38] ---
Don't you dare mock me, Kanryu!
[12:45] ---
Call for my private army!
[12:46] ---
I'll torture her
and make her spill the refinement process!
[12:50] ---
Everyone but the pages is all outside.
[12:52] ---
What?
[12:53] ---
Listen closely.
[12:56] ---
This is... the emergency whistle!
[12:59] ---
That man is here!
[13:09] ---
S-So fast. What the hell was that?
[13:11] ---
Is he human?
[13:12] ---
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[13:14] ---
If you're distracted...
[13:15] ---
you'll get hurt!
[13:22] ---
Sanosuke!
[13:24] ---
Don't fall behind!
[13:26] ---
You're still at it, you brat?
[13:29] ---
S-So strong. These two are too strong!
[13:33] ---
You mean "these three," idiot!
[13:37] ---
We got rid of basically
all the yakuza and swordsmen—
[13:42] ---
Gunmen squad! Ready, aim...
[13:44] ---
fi—
[13:49] ---
Now! Fire!
[13:51] ---
Sano! Yahiko!
[13:52] ---
Yahiko!
[13:52] ---
Sure! Huh?
[13:53] ---
Your time to shine.
Go make good use of yourself!
[13:58] ---
Wha—
[14:00] ---
You brat!
[14:01] ---
Huh?
[14:03] ---
You looking for this, old man?
[14:06] ---
I didn't think my talent as a pickpocket
would be useful here.
[14:09] ---
You really don't know
what's going to happen in life.
[14:13] ---
Bang!
[14:17] ---
Idiot. There's no way I'd really shoot.
[14:20] ---
I'm a swordsman!
I don't rely on things like guns!
[14:24] ---
You little brat!
[14:25] ---
Don't get so cocky!
[14:30] ---
Are you all right, Yahiko, that you are?
[14:32] ---
Of course I'm all right!
[14:34] ---
You can't tell me to leave this late
in the game! I ain't goin' home!
[14:38] ---
All right, that's the spirit.
[14:39] ---
Don't you be fallin' behind, Yahiko.
[14:42] ---
Idiot!
[14:43] ---
For starters, how dare you throw someone
like some inanimate object?
[14:47] ---
I made sure you had your turn.
[14:49] ---
You should appreciate and admire me.
[14:51] ---
I don't get it.
[14:53] ---
Why is it?
[14:55] ---
For what reason does Himura Battosai—
[14:58] ---
How does it benefit him
to go this far for that woman?
[15:03] ---
If Hitokiri Battosai was a man
who weighed the pros and cons,
[15:07] ---
he would be a high-ranking officer
of the Ground Troops by now.
[15:11] ---
You surely cannot understand
as an entrepreneur.
[15:14] ---
But Imperialists, though they differ
in where they stand from us,
[15:18] ---
all died fighting for their ideals.
[15:21] ---
That's what they were like.
[15:23] ---
In these days of Meiji, many Imperialists
have rotted beyond recognition.
[15:29] ---
But that man
seems to have quite a lot of vigor.
[15:32] ---
The first Imperialist in ten years
to show himself, lured by the bait.
[15:37] ---
That man is the prey of us,
the Edo Castle Oniwaban Group!
[15:43] ---
Y-You've got to be kidding!
[15:45] ---
Turning that legendary manslayer
into an enemy?
[15:47] ---
I can't do such a dangerous thing!
[15:49] ---
Don't say that.
[15:51] ---
We want to fight.
[15:57] ---
Kanryu! Your time of reckoning has come!
[16:00] ---
Come on down,
and bring Miss Megumi with you!
[16:08] ---
What the...
[16:10] ---
Has he finally gone mad?
[16:14] ---
Wonderful!
[16:15] ---
He defeated over 50 of my private army
in a breathtaking instant!
[16:19] ---
I expected nothing less from
the legendary manslayer, Himura Battosai!
[16:24] ---
He knows about Kenshin's background.
[16:26] ---
Looks like the Oniwaban Group
did their research.
[16:29] ---
Splendid! I would truly be
the most powerful around
[16:32] ---
if you joined my ranks
along with the Oniwaban Group!
[16:36] ---
I will pay a sum
equal to 50 of my private army!
[16:39] ---
How about it?
Why won't you become my bodyguard?
[16:42] ---
Are you coming down or not? Which is it?
[16:46] ---
Th-Then 100 men's worth!
[16:50] ---
T-Two hundred!
[16:52] ---
You don't get it.
[16:54] ---
It's useless
trying to win him over with money.
[16:58] ---
I told you that Himura Battosai
wasn't a man who weighed the benefits.
[17:03] ---
All right.
[17:05] ---
I get it. I lose. I surrender.
[17:08] ---
I will let go of Megumi Takani!
[17:10] ---
But give me some time. One hour!
[17:13] ---
I need to prepare on my end as well!
Please!
[17:16] ---
I ask you to calmly pull back for now!
[17:18] ---
Like we can trust you saying that, putz!
[17:26] ---
Kenshin! Hold on!
[17:28] ---
There's a limit on how much
of a softie you can be! Come on!
[17:30] ---
All right! I will use this hour
to torture her,
[17:34] ---
and if I can get her to spill
how to refine Spiderweb,
[17:36] ---
I will no longer have a need for Megumi!
[17:38] ---
I can do whatever I please
to shut her mouth!
[18:02] ---
I will be there within the hour!
[18:04] ---
Brace yourself as you wait, Kanryu!
[18:09] ---
Makeshift ploys
just add fuel to the fire.
[18:12] ---
I see.
He has quite an explosive personality.
[18:15] ---
L-Leader, set up the Oniwaban Group!
[18:18] ---
Already done.
[18:21] ---
The large hallway leading to the entrance
and the staircase at the end of it,
[18:25] ---
I have stationed
my right-hand and left-hand men.
[18:29] ---
I will serve as the rear guard
in the ballroom that lies beyond.
[18:32] ---
Listen up. I don't want any more
useless scum like Beshimi or Hyottoko!
[18:37] ---
I will not allow anyone to slack off and
not do work befitting their high salaries!
[18:44] ---
What was that about, "I will not allow"?
[18:48] ---
Don't get the wrong idea.
[18:51] ---
You don't lead the Oniwaban Group.
[18:54] ---
The Oniwaban Group is my group.
[18:57] ---
I will not allow anyone to insult it.
[19:03] ---
They're after Megumi Takani.
[19:07] ---
I will lock her up
in the third-floor observatory.
[19:10] ---
You shouldn't butt in
where you're not wanted.
[19:13] ---
Sit here, and count money or something.
[19:29] ---
You're awake.
[19:31] ---
Is this... the observatory?
[19:34] ---
How did I—
[19:35] ---
The men of the Kamiya Dojo are attacking
in an effort to win you back.
[19:40] ---
Lies.
[19:41] ---
What good does lying do?
[19:43] ---
For instance, the private army
has already been annihilated.
[19:47] ---
Idiots.
[19:48] ---
I took the effort to back away
from all of them, so why...
[19:53] ---
why are the people there idiots,
each and every one of them?
[20:00] ---
This is your dagger.
[20:02] ---
I'll return it to you.
[20:04] ---
Don't haphazardly have hope.
[20:07] ---
They will never make it here.
[20:10] ---
In one hour, what awaits you is
not salvation, but Kanryu's torture.
[20:15] ---
An agonizing death or a peaceful one,
you can choose the one you wish for.
[20:22] ---
We don't care about the opium
or the money that Kanryu desires.
[20:27] ---
We, the Oniwaban Group,
are seeking battles.
[20:32] ---
I came here thinking things might get
suspicious with illicit sales of opium,
[20:36] ---
but thanks to you I have
come across a most supreme enemy.
[20:39] ---
This is thanks for that.
[20:42] ---
I have some sympathy
for your unfortunate life.
[20:46] ---
But even that doesn't matter anymore.
[20:58] ---
This is surprising, that it is.
[21:00] ---
A man who is as skilled as you
is up first, that you are?
[21:04] ---
That's why I told you...
[21:06] ---
that there's no need to fret
and we will fight at some point.
