[00:00] ---
Edo Castle Oniwaban Group,
secret agent Han'nya.
[00:05] ---
By orders of our leader,
I will guard this location with my life.
[00:10] ---
I'd like to avoid unnecessary battle
if I can, that I would.
[00:13] ---
Can you possibly step aside from there?
[00:15] ---
Our leader's orders are absolute.
[00:21] ---
Damn guy is wearing iron gauntlets
under his leather gloves.
[00:25] ---
So that's how he so easily parried
Kenshin's attack the other day.
[00:32] ---
Looks like we have to fight here,
that we do.
[00:36] ---
I'm sorry, but I cannot hold back.
[00:38] ---
I can say the same thing.
[00:42] ---
Here goes.

EPISODE 11:
SAVAGE HAN'NYA -
HONORABLE SHIKIJO
[02:32] ---
A direct hit?
[02:34] ---
Backhand!
[02:46] ---
Why are you getting all beat up?
[02:48] ---
That's so not like you!
[02:50] ---
Hurry up and use that signature
"reading" of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu!
[02:53] ---
I already am using it, that I am.
[02:56] ---
I read his punch and his backhand.
[02:59] ---
I dodged it with little room to spare.
[03:01] ---
However, right before my eyes,
his arm grew longer for an instant.
[03:06] ---
What's wrong, Battosai?
[03:08] ---
Your true strength
should be nothing like this.
[03:11] ---
If you can't even defeat my spell,
[03:14] ---
you won't last one minute
fighting our leader.
[03:17] ---
Spell?
[03:19] ---
You had already fallen under my spell
one week ago,
[03:24] ---
in the moment when you
saw me in this guise,
[03:27] ---
and you never realized it.
[03:35] ---
Looks like it has started.
[03:37] ---
Han'nya is formidable.
[03:39] ---
Not only is he
an excellent master of kenpo,
[03:42] ---
he uses the deadly Shinwan Spell.
[03:46] ---
Unless you can see through
what the spell is about,
[03:48] ---
you won't have a chance at victory.
[03:50] ---
I get it now.
[03:52] ---
A spell... that it is.
[03:54] ---
As troublesome as it is,
I first need to break that spell.
[04:03] ---
Hey, what's with that stance?
[04:05] ---
No clue.
[04:07] ---
It's closest to Seigan
among the five basic stances,
[04:11] ---
but it's clearly different.
[04:13] ---
This is the Shinken stance!
[04:16] ---
Extending both arms
from the Seigan stance,
[04:18] ---
you hold the blade parallel
and between your opponent's eyebrows.
[04:22] ---
A solid defense stance
seen in ancient sword arts,
[04:26] ---
able to immediately react
to any change in your opponent!
[04:30] ---
However, on the flip side,
[04:32] ---
it is a defense-only stance
that is hard to turn offensive!
[04:36] ---
Are you hiding behind this, Battosai?
[04:41] ---
Answer me!
[04:45] ---
This, a man like this,
[04:48] ---
is the true identity
of the legendary Hitokiri!
[04:51] ---
It seems I have been foolish
to overestimate you!
[04:55] ---
Someone like you has no qualification
to fight our leader, Lord Aoshi!
[05:01] ---
I will slaughter you right here!
[05:03] ---
No matter how solid of a defense
the Shinken stance is,
[05:07] ---
unless you can see through
what my Shinwan is about,
[05:10] ---
it is impossible for you to dodge it!
[05:17] ---
He dodged it!
[05:18] ---
He saw through it?
[05:22] ---
He did it!
[05:23] ---
You saw through it, Kenshin?
[05:26] ---
Yeah. The truth behind the spell
[05:28] ---
was the horizontal stripe tattoos
on both his arms.
[05:33] ---
Horizontal stripes.
[05:35] ---
I see!
[05:36] ---
An optical illusion!
[05:38] ---
Horizontal stripes make things look
thicker and shorter than actual size.
[05:42] ---
And that was throwing
your visual estimation off!
[05:46] ---
His arm was more than an inch
longer than my estimate.
[05:50] ---
And that difference made it feel
like his arm was extending,
[05:53] ---
making the blow hit
when I thought I'd evade it, that it did.
[05:57] ---
I see, so you...
[06:00] ---
used the blade's edge during that
Shinken stance to measure the difference!
[06:06] ---
I get it.
[06:08] ---
A swordsman is fully aware
of the length of his cherished sword.
[06:12] ---
That means it's a perfect candidate
to be a yardstick!
[06:15] ---
When I first saw you, I was dubious
about that strange shinobi garment.
[06:20] ---
Especially the stripes on both arms
that make you stand out so much
[06:23] ---
that you are at a disadvantage
as an onmitsu.
[06:26] ---
However, it served as an advantage
as a kenpo master.
[06:30] ---
Furthermore, you use that han'nya mask
to hide your gaze and expression,
[06:33] ---
making it harder to judge
where your attack will come from.
[06:36] ---
There is that.
[06:39] ---
However, there is a bigger reason
for this han'nya mask.
[06:43] ---
It is to hide my actual face itself.
[06:58] ---
A monster.
[07:00] ---
A monster, huh?
[07:02] ---
That said, this face proves useful,
so I do like it.
[07:07] ---
You...
[07:08] ---
Did you do that to your face...
[07:11] ---
I am a spy.
[07:14] ---
My main mission
is gathering intelligence.
[07:17] ---
In order to be able to disguise myself
with any face, I burned off my lips,
[07:23] ---
chopped my ears and nose off,
and crushed my cheekbones.
[07:28] ---
I don't know where all of you were born,
[07:31] ---
but the area I was born
has many poor villages.
[07:36] ---
In villages like that, even to this day,
there is a secret tradition
[07:40] ---
where parents kill children
to lessen food expenses.
[07:43] ---
They called it "returning the children"
in my village.
[07:47] ---
You can't be...
[07:50] ---
Even if you barely escape death,
you can't stay in your house anymore.
[07:55] ---
From there,
you have to roam like dogs and cats
[07:58] ---
and follow a path of savagery where you
kill and plunder like a lone wolf.
[08:03] ---
However...
[08:05] ---
Claws!
[08:06] ---
...Lord Aoshi took me in,
even in my lone-wolf state,
[08:10] ---
and raised me
into a top-ranked onmitsu!
[08:14] ---
And he gave me
the Edo Castle Oniwaban Group,
[08:17] ---
a reason to live and a group of comrades!
[08:21] ---
If I can be of help to Lord Aoshi,
I don't need my face nor my life!
[08:26] ---
Be careful, Kenshin!
[08:28] ---
This guy is nuts!
[08:29] ---
This guy is a fanatic monster
[08:30] ---
who risks everything for his leader
and the Oniwaban Group!
[08:37] ---
Han'nya, answer one question.
[08:39] ---
Do you know the past of Miss Megumi,
that you do?
[08:43] ---
Don't underestimate me!
[08:44] ---
There is not one thing the Oniwaban spies
don't know about, none!
[09:08] ---
No good.
[09:10] ---
With that skill, you can't hold a candle
against Lord Aoshi...
[09:15] ---
at... all.
[09:22] ---
He finally fell.
[09:24] ---
That was a formidable opponent.
[09:27] ---
Han'nya...
[09:29] ---
you should know the hardships of solitude
more than anyone else.
[09:34] ---
But why couldn't you be considerate
to Miss Megumi as well?
[09:39] ---
Kenshin.
[09:42] ---
I'm worried about Miss Megumi, that I am.
[09:44] ---
Let's hurry onward.
[09:55] ---
Megumi!
[09:56] ---
Are you listening?
[09:58] ---
Megumi!
[09:59] ---
Shut up.
[10:01] ---
You can unlock the door
and hurry on in here.
[10:03] ---
Aoshi has taken the key!
[10:06] ---
What do you want now?
[10:08] ---
I am sorry. My bad. I apologize!
[10:12] ---
I'll do something about the room key!
[10:14] ---
So let's get away from here together!
[10:16] ---
If we use the secret passageway,
they won't catch on!
[10:19] ---
You're kidding me.
[10:20] ---
What good does it do me
to run away with you?
[10:23] ---
We can do anything!
[10:25] ---
Your knowledge and technology,
paired with my business skills,
[10:28] ---
can develop any new drugs we wish!
[10:31] ---
We can save people
who are suffering from illnesses!
[10:34] ---
I reflect on—
no, repent, my past activities,
[10:37] ---
how I treated you, and the crimes
I committed against society!
[10:41] ---
I want to do it over if I can,
[10:43] ---
together with you,
who bear the same sins as I do!
[10:50] ---
Go somewhere else, Kanryu.
[10:52] ---
I'm sick of your lies.
[10:54] ---
Wha—
[10:56] ---
There is no way
we can atone for these sins.
[10:58] ---
The only thing I can do now is to prevent
any further damage from opium.
[11:03] ---
That's all.
[11:06] ---
I'll see you in hell, Kanryu.
[11:09] ---
G-G-G-Give me a break!
[11:13] ---
The one at fault is none other than you!
[11:15] ---
It's your fault for making the opium!
[11:18] ---
It's your fault for not making the opium!
[11:21] ---
Don't drag me into this!
[11:23] ---
You wench, bratty girl,
evil woman, wicked woman,
[11:26] ---
son of a bitch!
[11:28] ---
I've had enough!
[11:29] ---
You can intoxicate yourself
with your heroism in there!
[11:31] ---
What would all my customers
who died because of you think?
[11:41] ---
Scum...
[11:43] ---
RUROUNI KENSHIN
[11:48] ---
How are your wounds?
[11:50] ---
They're shallow, that they are.
[11:51] ---
The bleeding has stopped already.
[11:58] ---
But...
[11:59] ---
what kind of guy is this Aoshi Shinomori
[12:01] ---
if someone of Han'nya's stature
can be so devoted?
[12:11] ---
The fact that you came here
means Han'nya has been defeated, eh?
[12:15] ---
You're quite good.
[12:17] ---
Edo Castle Oniwaban Group,
main keep guard Shikijo.
[12:22] ---
One more, in lieu of a greeting!
[12:27] ---
Sano!
[12:28] ---
Leave this muscle-head to me,
and you should hurry on ahead.
[12:32] ---
I can easily take care of a guy like him.
[12:35] ---
So you hurry up
and go drag out that twisted woman!
[12:39] ---
Sano.
[12:41] ---
Yahiko, let's go!
[12:42] ---
Yeah!
[12:50] ---
Damn you.
[12:51] ---
You fully intended
on letting Kenshin go, didn't you?
[12:54] ---
Well, yeah. Giving the best part to
the leader is how one plays by the book.
[13:01] ---
I'll have to settle for the underling...
[13:03] ---
Zanza, fighter for hire.
[13:07] ---
Surprised? Han'nya went ahead
and did extra research.
[13:11] ---
So I hear you were quite famous
in the underground society.
[13:15] ---
Of course, you're a nobody
now that you don't have the Zanbato.
[13:21] ---
Don't you be misunderstanding,
damn it!
[13:24] ---
I don't got my Zanbato,
[13:26] ---
but my two arms that controlled it at will
are still around!
[13:30] ---
I'm the one
that's settling for the underling!
[13:36] ---
Hey, Kenshin, is Sanosuke
all right by himself?
[13:39] ---
That guy looked pretty tough.
[13:42] ---
We're talking about Sano,
so he'll be all right, that he will.
[13:44] ---
In the first place, even if we were there,
[13:46] ---
he wouldn't let us help out,
that he wouldn't.
[13:49] ---
We're going in.
[13:50] ---
Brace yourself!
[13:56] ---
I have even been
the guard for the main keep,
[13:58] ---
and you call me an underling? How amusing.
[14:02] ---
How about we both use only
our two arms that we're so proud of
[14:06] ---
and literally try our hands at it?
[14:08] ---
Bring it on!
[14:13] ---
Damn you!
[14:14] ---
Wasn't this gonna be a barehanded fight?
[14:16] ---
No need to fret.
[14:21] ---
This is how you use it.
[14:26] ---
Whoa!
[14:30] ---
Now... we shall determine
which of us is the underling.
[14:39] ---
That ends it.
[14:41] ---
You seemed to have some spirit in you...
[14:43] ---
but, well, you came across the wrong guy.
[14:48] ---
Don't you go...
[14:50] ---
Don't you go thinking
you've already won.
[14:54] ---
You sure fight a weird-ass fight.
[14:57] ---
What was that
about trying our hands at it?
[14:59] ---
Don't make me laugh.
[15:01] ---
A man's gotta fight
with nothing up his sleeve!
[15:06] ---
Don't you be playing around
with toys like this!
[15:11] ---
Man, I feel lighter.
[15:13] ---
I feel like I can really get it on now.
[15:15] ---
Wonderful!
[15:17] ---
Those retorts! Wonderful, just wonderful!
[15:20] ---
Indeed, you don't seem
like your average underling.
[15:24] ---
Who ya callin' an underling, ya putz?
[15:31] ---
Wonderful. How wonderful!
[15:33] ---
But...
[15:40] ---
Oh... sorry, sorry.
[15:43] ---
I couldn't help but headbutt there.
[15:46] ---
As you can tell
from scars all over my body,
[15:48] ---
my whole life is about fighting.
[15:52] ---
My body moves before I can even think.
[15:57] ---
Damn you!
[15:58] ---
Stop it.
[16:00] ---
It's quite something
[16:01] ---
that your skull didn't shatter
from my headbutt,
[16:04] ---
but what's inside is a different matter.
[16:07] ---
From the shock your brain felt there,
[16:09] ---
you shouldn't be able to move
even one finger for a while.
[16:13] ---
That said...
[16:14] ---
you made my hand tingle.
[16:18] ---
I like you, boy.
[16:20] ---
So how about it?
[16:21] ---
Why don't you cut ties with that Battosai
and come be one of us?
[16:25] ---
Huh?
[16:26] ---
We don't care about family backgrounds.
[16:30] ---
If you're strong, you pass.
[16:32] ---
Even I originally was an onmitsu
for the Satsuma Domain.
[16:37] ---
Which means
I was on the Imperialist side.
[16:42] ---
In 1866, I was given orders
to investigate Edo Castle
[16:45] ---
to prepare for the upcoming battle.
[16:49] ---
But I was defeated by our leader,
who was only 13 years old at the time.
[16:53] ---
Your muscles are extraordinary.
[16:56] ---
It would be a shame
to kill off such a spy.
[16:58] ---
If you use the elixir
of muscular amplification
[17:00] ---
passed down among the Oniwaban Group,
you will become even stronger.
[17:04] ---
You should join our ranks.
[17:07] ---
If you do, you can become invincible.
[17:10] ---
Invincible?
[17:13] ---
And so, I gained
this invincible muscular strength!
[17:18] ---
The same goes for you.
[17:19] ---
You have the potential
to become infinitely stronger.
[17:23] ---
If you use the Oniwaban Group elixir,
you might even surpass Han'nya and myself!
[17:30] ---
If you ain't exaggeratin',
[17:32] ---
this Aoshi Shinomori
is quite a powerful guy.
[17:36] ---
Yes! If our leader had been in Kyoto
to defeat the Imperialists,
[17:41] ---
the legend of the most powerful wouldn't
have been about someone like Battosai.
[17:44] ---
It would have been that of our leader!
[17:47] ---
The Oniwaban Group is powerful.
[17:50] ---
You guys to begin with,
but Beshimi and Hyottoko, too.
[17:54] ---
Depending on how they fight,
they're nothin' to sneeze at.
[17:57] ---
But...
[17:59] ---
that's as far as it goes.
[18:01] ---
It seems like powerful guys
[18:03] ---
gather for one reason or another
around Aoshi Shinomori.
[18:06] ---
But that's all.
[18:08] ---
What do you want to say?
[18:11] ---
Each and every one of you is just strong.
[18:15] ---
That's why gathering powerful individuals
and fighting becomes everything for you.
[18:21] ---
But Kenshin Himura is different.
[18:23] ---
Missie, Yahiko, and Megumi Takani...
[18:28] ---
all sorts of people admire him
and create a ring.
[18:31] ---
Hitokiri is a name of the past,
and now he's a rurouni,
[18:35] ---
but fighting
still always happens around him.
[18:39] ---
Even then...
[18:41] ---
What do you wanna say, little boy?
[18:46] ---
Everyone gets it.
[18:49] ---
No matter how strong,
[18:51] ---
Kenshin will never wield his sword
for his own battles.
[18:54] ---
Damn it—
[18:56] ---
His sakabato always exists
only to protect other people!
[19:01] ---
The Oniwaban Group
has drowned in their strength
[19:04] ---
and has been reduced
to pawns for Kanryu Takeda.
[19:07] ---
Kenshin Himura is
of a completely different caliber!
[19:10] ---
Damn it!
[19:12] ---
I gave a small compliment,
and you let it go to your head, you scum!
[19:17] ---
Who is drowning
in their own strength, huh?
[19:22] ---
Here I am being nice to you,
and you get all stuck-up!
[19:27] ---
You can talk big
after you defeat Lord Shikijo here!
[19:33] ---
And acting like that...
[19:35] ---
is what I'm calling
"drowning in your strength," you moron!
[19:40] ---
What the...
[19:45] ---
This is the end, underling.
[19:54] ---
No matter how hard your skull may be,
[19:57] ---
"what's inside is a different matter,"
was it?
[20:04] ---
Shikijo, if you ever get the opportunity,
you should fight against Kenshin sometime.
[20:10] ---
Maybe you'll be able to regain
something important that you've lost.
[20:20] ---
But anyway, just how many more
of these Oniwaban Group are there?
[20:26] ---
If stuff like this continues...
[20:28] ---
my body won't last...
[20:35] ---
We know each other's faces, but this
is the first time we speak, that is...
[20:42] ---
Yeah.
[20:43] ---
I would like to avoid
unnecessary battle, that I would.
[20:47] ---
Can you step aside and let me know
where Kanryu and Miss Megumi are?
[20:52] ---
Did Han'nya step aside
when he was told that?
[20:56] ---
Of course he didn't.
[21:00] ---
You need to ask me the whereabouts
of those two with that sakabato.
[21:05] ---
I will answer... with this.
