[00:02] ---
    What was that about the Oniwaban Group
    or the legendary manslayer?
[00:06] ---
    The true strongest is yours truly!
[00:09] ---
    There is nothing more wonderful
    in this world than money!
[00:12] ---
    Die!
[00:13] ---
    What the hell is that?
[00:15] ---
    A Gatling gun!
[00:19] ---
    Shikijo!
[00:20] ---
    - Wha—
    - Now!
[00:21] ---
    Run, Battosai!
[00:25] ---
    Which... Which one should be the target?
[00:33] ---
    Damn it, I'll start off
    with the immobile Aoshi!
[00:36] ---
    I won't let you do that!
[00:37] ---
    Eat this!
[00:39] ---
    Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
[00:44] ---
    Shikijo!
[02:18] ---
    EPISODE 13:
    BATTLE'S END
[02:24] ---
    Shikij—
[02:25] ---
    Whoa. Don't look at me like that.
[02:28] ---
    That's so not like you.
[02:30] ---
    I'm pretty satisfied.
[02:33] ---
    I was able to prove that my muscles,
[02:36] ---
    my pride and joy that I
    even took drugs to obtain,
[02:40] ---
    could become a shield
    that can win against bullets.
[02:43] ---
    It's just like what you said back then.
[02:51] ---
    I am invincible...
[03:04] ---
    Shikijo.
[03:07] ---
    That sack of meat
    will be broken to smithereens
[03:10] ---
    with 200-bullet consecutive firing!
[03:12] ---
    Whoa, hold it right there!
[03:15] ---
    Hyottoko right here will take you on!
[03:19] ---
    Wha—
[03:20] ---
    Whoa! Don't shoot!
    If you shoot too carelessly,
[03:23] ---
    this sack of oil
    will catch fire and go boom!
[03:27] ---
    Brace yourself!
[03:29] ---
    I'll be right there!
[03:31] ---
    D-Don't come here!
[03:35] ---
    You fell for it.
[03:37] ---
    If I can't aim for the gut,
    I'll just aim everywhere else!
[03:40] ---
    Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
[03:43] ---
    Hyottoko!
[03:46] ---
    You're the one that fell for it...
[03:50] ---
    - Wha—
    - Take this!
[03:52] ---
    Dokusatsu Rasenbyo!
[03:58] ---
    Beshimi!
[03:59] ---
    Leader... it didn't work after all.
[04:04] ---
    Apologies. To the very end...
[04:08] ---
    we were useless.
[04:10] ---
    Beshimi. Hyottoko.
[04:19] ---
    Whew, close. That was close.
[04:22] ---
    If a street performance
    like that did me in,
[04:25] ---
    it wouldn't even be a joke.
[04:26] ---
    But now I know for sure!
[04:29] ---
    Oniwaban are all useless,
    no matter how many of you there are!
[04:32] ---
    From here on, it's the era of the Gatling!
[04:35] ---
    The ruler of the Gatling
    will be the ruler of the world,
[04:38] ---
    and I will be its pioneer!
[04:41] ---
    Damn you!
[04:52] ---
    Battosai.
[04:54] ---
    How many seconds will it take you
[04:56] ---
    to pick up that Sakabato
    and slice into Kanryu?
[05:00] ---
    Fifteen.
[05:01] ---
    No, if I have 10 seconds...
[05:03] ---
    10 seconds?
[05:04] ---
    That's going to be a bit rough.
[05:06] ---
    For what?
[05:07] ---
    Look.
[05:09] ---
    Beyond that door is a small lookout tower.
[05:12] ---
    Megumi Takani is confined there.
[05:15] ---
    Han'nya?
[05:17] ---
    It's not like I wasn't thinking
    about that woman.
[05:21] ---
    It just happened
    that Lord Aoshi was more precious to me.
[05:27] ---
    I'm trusting you to take care of the rest,
    Himura Battosai.
[05:30] ---
    Wait, Han'nya!
[05:57] ---
    Hey, he's been beaten again.
[06:00] ---
    He's still quite far from being
    an opponent for our leader.
[06:02] ---
    Well, if we work him a bit harder,
    he might be of some use.
[06:07] ---
    Don't stare at me so much.
    You're ruining my concentration.
[06:08] ---
    WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL
[06:10] ---
    We're just giving you advice.
[06:10] ---
    WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL
[06:13] ---
    That's right. You should feel thankful.
[06:16] ---
    Don't cause too much trouble
    for our leader.
[06:19] ---
    Sheesh. Each and every one of you...
[06:22] ---
    Are you in pain?
[06:24] ---
    No.
[06:26] ---
    Compared to the life I've had so far,
    this is basically nothing.
[06:30] ---
    I see. But it's better if you
    don't smile too much during training.
[06:35] ---
    You create an opening.
[06:37] ---
    Was I smiling?
[06:40] ---
    It looked that way to me.
[06:52] ---
    Was I smiling?
[07:19] ---
    Using the monster-face
    as a decoy to attack.
[07:22] ---
    A tactic you'd expect from a hitokiri.
[07:24] ---
    But in the end,
    every last one of them died in vain!
[07:28] ---
    Years of training is useless!
    Useless in front of the Gatling!
[07:31] ---
    Useless trash! Trash! Rubbish!
[07:33] ---
    Oh, I'm so glad
    I was able to buy the Gatling!
[07:36] ---
    Hooray, me! Hooray, Gatling!
[07:39] ---
    Hooray, money!
[07:42] ---
    Die!
[07:43] ---
    - Kenshin!
    - Kenshin!
[07:44] ---
    Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
[07:48] ---
    Look closely at what you have.
[07:50] ---
    It fires 200 rounds every minute.
[07:53] ---
    If you shoot without thinking
    of consequences, you soon will...
[07:57] ---
    I'm out of bullets?
[07:59] ---
    Their deaths were not in vain.
[08:05] ---
    The lives of the four members
    of Oniwaban Group
[08:08] ---
    were victorious over your Gatling gun.
[08:12] ---
    H-Help m—
[08:13] ---
    If you're begging for your life,
    just ask your money that you love so much!
[08:24] ---
    As I'd expect from you, Kenshin.
[08:25] ---
    Even when you're pissed,
    you still uphold the refusal to kill.
[08:32] ---
    Leave him alone for now, that you should.
[08:36] ---
    You're right.
[08:37] ---
    Kenshin!
[08:39] ---
    I'm fine.
[08:41] ---
    I just faltered a little bit, that I did.
[08:44] ---
    Let's hurry.
[08:45] ---
    Miss Megumi is waiting for us.
[08:46] ---
    Yeah.
[08:49] ---
    Aoshi Shinomori. You're quite a strong one
    if you can injure Kenshin this much.

[08:56] ---
    But in this battle, the wounds
    that you suffered were a lot bigger.

[09:15] ---
    The gunshots are over.
[09:17] ---
    What in the world...
[09:22] ---
    - Argh! So irritating!
    - Argh! So irritating!
[09:26] ---
    All right! No ambushers!
[09:29] ---
    Yahiko. Sanosuke.
[09:31] ---
    Sorry to make you wait, that is.
[09:33] ---
    Ken-san...
[09:34] ---
    Those wounds...
[09:37] ---
    I had a tiny bit of trouble, that I did.
[09:40] ---
    But more so, I am glad you didn't
    suffer any major wounds, that I am.
[09:45] ---
    I'm sorry.
[09:48] ---
    I dragged you into this mess,
[09:50] ---
    and on top of that,
    I had you face danger.
[09:53] ---
    But please rest assured.
[09:55] ---
    The source of the disaster
    will be eliminated soon.
[09:58] ---
    Miss Megumi!
[10:00] ---
    With the single thought
    of wanting to see my family,
[10:02] ---
    I have been regretfully living my life.
[10:05] ---
    But I am truly glad
    that I was able to meet all of you
[10:09] ---
    in the last, final moments.
[10:11] ---
    Wait!
[10:12] ---
    Thank you.
[10:18] ---
    Huh?
[10:19] ---
    You stupid wench!
[10:21] ---
    For your sake, Kenshin and Yahiko
    devoted themselves to rescuing you!
[10:25] ---
    And you want to ruin all of their efforts?
[10:27] ---
    Jeez!
[10:31] ---
    But there's nothing I can do.
[10:34] ---
    So many people are in agony
    because of my opium,
[10:38] ---
    and yet I'm trying to be
    the only one to avoid punishment.
[10:45] ---
    Kenshin, this ain't good!
[10:47] ---
    It's the cops!
[10:48] ---
    They heard all the ruckus and came over!
[10:51] ---
    We gotta get out of here quick!
[10:53] ---
    Come on! Don't just stand there!
[10:55] ---
    Hey!
[10:57] ---
    Ken-san.
[10:59] ---
    This is a family recipe, to stop bleeding.
[11:01] ---
    Treat the deep wound
    on your chest with this.
[11:05] ---
    Then hurry to a doctor.
[11:06] ---
    Kanryu built a secret passageway
    up in the attic.
[11:10] ---
    You can go through there
    to get out of here.
[11:13] ---
    Thank you for all you have done.
[11:17] ---
    The penalty for illicit production
    of opium is death.
[11:21] ---
    You are saying that while
    being aware of that fact, that you are?
[11:24] ---
    Yes. People have died
    because of the opium I made.
[11:28] ---
    I can't allow myself
    to get away from here now.
[11:33] ---
    RUROUNI KENSHIN
[11:38] ---
    Captain, we found
    an illicit production area underground!
[11:42] ---
    All right, investigate!
[11:44] ---
    Sheesh. We had been spying on them,
[11:47] ---
    but I didn't imagine that he
    secretly possessed a Gatling gun, too.
[11:53] ---
    You are...
[11:56] ---
    That's the woman!
[11:57] ---
    She's the one
    that illicitly created opium!
[12:00] ---
    The woman who had a hand in all this!
[12:03] ---
    You can't make excuses, Megumi!
[12:05] ---
    No matter what the situation is,
    you're the one that made the opium!
[12:09] ---
    We're together to the ends of hell!
[12:13] ---
    Is that true?
[12:15] ---
    Ye—
[12:16] ---
    The answer is "no," that it is.
[12:17] ---
    Mr. Himura?
[12:18] ---
    Wha—
[12:20] ---
    This person is an outstanding
    doctor in training, that she is.
[12:23] ---
    He targeted her so he could force her
    to make opium, that he did.
[12:28] ---
    Don't give them that baloney, Battosai!
    That wench is—
[12:31] ---
    You stay quiet.
[12:34] ---
    Battosai?
[12:36] ---
    Isn't that right, Yahiko?
[12:39] ---
    Yeah! Tokyo samurai Yahiko Myojin
[12:42] ---
    won't ever swing a sword
    for an illicit opium maker!
[12:47] ---
    Right, Sano?
[12:48] ---
    Like I'd know.
[12:50] ---
    I just tagged along for the fight.
[12:53] ---
    And there you have it, Captain, that is.
[12:57] ---
    Good enough?
[13:00] ---
    All right.
[13:01] ---
    We will conduct a more detailed
    investigation at a later time.
[13:05] ---
    For today, you can take custody
    of that woman, Mr. Himura.
[13:09] ---
    What's up with that?!
[13:11] ---
    That wench is an accomplice!
[13:12] ---
    - If you investigate, you'll soon see—
    - Shut up!
[13:14] ---
    Hurry up, and take him away!
[13:16] ---
    - Yes, sir!
    - Damn it!
[13:17] ---
    You're playing favorites!
[13:20] ---
    Don't touch!
[13:22] ---
    That's my Gatling gun!
[13:24] ---
    Don't violate it with your dirty hands!
[13:26] ---
    Hurry up, and walk!
[13:27] ---
    Gat!
[13:31] ---
    Well, things like this
    are okay every so often.
[13:34] ---
    As long as it's only every so often.
[13:36] ---
    Ken-san, who in the world are you...
[13:39] ---
    The crime of murder
    has a penalty of death.
[13:43] ---
    That is one way to atone for it,
    but even if you were to die,
[13:47] ---
    the one you murdered won't
    come back to life, that they won't.
[13:50] ---
    More than that, wielding a sword
    for the sake of as many people as possible
[13:54] ---
    should be atonement
    in the true sense of the word.
[13:58] ---
    That is how Hitokiri Battosai lives
    in the current day, that he does.
[14:02] ---
    Hitokiri Battosai?
[14:04] ---
    The legendary one?
[14:05] ---
    The superior medical studies of Takani
[14:08] ---
    should be able to save more people
    than the Battosai's sword.
[14:13] ---
    You should become a doctor,
    Miss Megumi, that you should.
[14:16] ---
    Be of help to those
    in agony from wounds and illnesses
[14:20] ---
    and not just opium, that you should.
[14:23] ---
    If you do that,
    I'll let the bit about my buddy slide.
[14:26] ---
    If you do that,
    you'll be able to see your family someday!
[14:30] ---
    Let's go home.
    Miss Kaoru is waiting for us, that she is.
[14:35] ---
    Okay!
[14:38] ---
    Captain!
[14:40] ---
    About how you'll deal with Aoshi, that is—
[14:42] ---
    Aoshi? Who in the world is that?
[14:45] ---
    By who, I mean the tall man
    wearing a coat that was here.
[14:49] ---
    There's no such man. When we rushed in,
[14:51] ---
    Kanryu Takeda was the only one
    inside the dance hall.
[14:55] ---
    There were four beheaded corpses,
    nothing else.
[15:00] ---
    Aoshi disappeared?
[15:03] ---
    There isn't one window in this place.
[15:05] ---
    That means he should have escaped
    through the entrance below!
[15:08] ---
    All entrances
    are secured with police officers!
[15:11] ---
    It's impossible for someone to escape
    without anyone noticing!
[15:14] ---
    No, there is another entrance,
    that there is.
[15:18] ---
    Kanryu's secret passageway!
[15:20] ---
    Where is the exit for the passageway?
[15:21] ---
    It leads out to the grove in the back.
[15:23] ---
    I'll guide you there!
[15:26] ---
    The exit is open.
[15:28] ---
    So he definitely passed through here.
[15:30] ---
    Look around!
    He is surely still somewhere around here!
[15:34] ---
    Aoshi...
[15:52] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?
[15:54] ---
    Hurry up, and capture him!
[15:56] ---
    Stop it.
[15:57] ---
    You guys will just get killed.
[16:00] ---
    It's not your fault.
[16:02] ---
    They died so that you could live.
[16:06] ---
    But they surely
    don't hold a grudge about that.
[16:09] ---
    Aoshi...
[16:10] ---
    fight me one more time.
[16:13] ---
    Fight me, defeat me,
[16:16] ---
    and adorn the word "strongest"
    on the graves of those four.
[16:23] ---
    Battosai...
[16:25] ---
    until I kill you,
    make sure nobody else kills you.
[16:31] ---
    Don't let him get away! After him!
[16:36] ---
    Kenshin...
[16:38] ---
    This is how it should be, that it is.
[16:40] ---
    Words of consolation
    are unnecessary for now.
[16:43] ---
    But then, this means that you will be
    the perpetual target now!
[16:47] ---
    It's all right, that it is.
[16:51] ---
    Now we should go home for real this time.
[16:57] ---
    Welcome back!
[17:00] ---
    We're back.
[17:01] ---
    Wait, you're covered
    in terrible wounds.
[17:04] ---
    Your fingers as well, Miss Kaoru.
[17:06] ---
    Well, in any case,
    thank you for a job well done!
[17:09] ---
    I have both a breakfast and a bath ready,
    so go on ahead!
[17:13] ---
    I'm tired, so I'm gonna sleep first.
[17:15] ---
    Me, too.
[17:19] ---
    I made it just for you guys!
[17:22] ---
    Is that so?
[17:23] ---
    So sleepy!
[17:24] ---
    I will have some, that I will.
[17:27] ---
    M-Me, too.
[17:29] ---
    Is it okay...
[17:31] ---
    for me to have some?
[17:35] ---
    - Of course!
    - Of course!
[18:05] ---
    Tastes awful.
[18:14] ---
    Thank you for all you have done for me.
[18:16] ---
    I'm sorry. This place isn't that big,
    and I can't have any more house guests.
[18:21] ---
    As you know, a certain someone
    comes by for free meals every day.
[18:26] ---
    Oh, don't worry.
[18:27] ---
    You even referred me for a live-in job.
[18:31] ---
    Mr. Gensai being her guarantor
    was a lifesaver, that it was.
[18:35] ---
    Oh, I'd welcome an assistant
    like Miss Megumi anytime.
[18:40] ---
    Um, Ken-san...
[18:42] ---
    Oro?
[18:43] ---
    If you ever get sick of Kaoru,
    let me know.
[18:46] ---
    I can be your companion anytime you want.
[18:50] ---
    Companion for what?
[18:52] ---
    Hurry up, and get lost, you fox!
[18:57] ---
    I told you before...
[18:59] ---
    that missie is simpleminded,
    so don't joke around and tease her.
[19:02] ---
    Oh, but I was serious about that.
[19:05] ---
    I'd only be joking if the companion
    was someone of your caliber.
[19:08] ---
    You pickin' a fight with me?
[19:11] ---
    Don't be jealous. No jealousy.
[19:13] ---
    If you brush up on your manliness
    to get to Ken-san's level,
[19:16] ---
    I can be your companion.
[19:17] ---
    Man, I thought you'd be a little more
    decent after all this, but not at all!
[19:23] ---
    You're a fool.
[19:25] ---
    When you're 22 years old,
[19:27] ---
    you can't correct
    your personality anymore.
[19:31] ---
    That sounds like a line
    I heard somewhere else.
[19:34] ---
    NO FEMALE FOXES
    ALLOWED ENTRY!
[19:35] ---
    So in the end,
    what judgment did she receive?
[19:38] ---
    It seems they settled for her becoming
    a witness for the case, that they did.
[19:45] ---
    However, in the end,
    Aoshi is still missing.
[19:49] ---
    So did you really make yourself a target
    to give him a reason to live?
[19:55] ---
    Until he heals his wounds
[19:57] ---
    and gains confidence and skill
    to definitely beat me.
[20:02] ---
    Next time, I'm not sure
    if I would be able to win.
[20:04] ---
    What ya talkin' about?
[20:06] ---
    There's absolutely no way
    Kenshin would lose!
[20:11] ---
    By the way, Sano...
[20:13] ---
    did you speak with Shikijo at all,
    that you did?
[20:16] ---
