[00:02] ---
I didn't think I'd reunite with you on
the day when I finished all preparations.
[00:07] ---
Maybe this is the guidance
of our captain from up in heaven.
[00:11] ---
SEKIHO ARMY CAPTAIN
SOZO SAGARA
[00:13] ---
Katsu?
[00:14] ---
Sanosuke, why don't you and I
recreate the Sekiho Army once again?
[00:20] ---
Let's crush the Revolutionary government
that framed us
[00:25] ---
and bring to reality the new era
that Captain Sagara sought.
[00:31] ---
I'm sorry, guys.
[00:34] ---
I won't ask you to understand.
[00:36] ---
But the Sekiho Army
really is special to me.
[00:41] ---
Kenshin, the next time I see you,
I'll be a felon for a grievous crime.
[00:47] ---
I won't mind at all if you slay me
with that sakabato.
[01:14] ---
It's almost time. Let's go.
[01:18] ---
Man, it's cold.
[01:21] ---
It's spring already, too.
[01:22] ---
What a chill.
[01:24] ---
We still have some lingering winter cold.
[01:26] ---
If it doesn't warm up, already, I can't...
[01:33] ---
Wh-What was that?
[01:34] ---
A bomb?
[01:36] ---
Consecutive explosions!
[01:37] ---
The culprit is still hiding inside!
[01:40] ---
Gather all security at the gate!
[01:43] ---
You created a time lag with the length
of the fuses. You put in some thought.
[01:47] ---
If we can infiltrate indoors now,
our success is assured!
[01:53] ---
The Home Ministry
will be blown to pieces!
[03:26] ---
EPISODE 19:
TSUNAN &
NISHIKI PAINTINGS
[03:34] ---
The lawn is on fire!
[03:35] ---
Extinguish it! Hurry!
[03:39] ---
We have until the cops come back.
[03:41] ---
We'll dash across the lawn without pause!
[03:43] ---
Don't stand still!
[03:50] ---
Come to think of it...
[03:52] ---
Captain mentioned that
before he created the Sekiho Army,
[03:55] ---
he was forced to commit arson and robbery
to cause disturbances to the Shogunate.
[04:00] ---
So that really...
[04:04] ---
What's wrong, Katsu?
[04:06] ---
Why are you idle?
[04:10] ---
Kenshin.
[04:12] ---
So he entered the Home Ministry
before we did?
[04:17] ---
Sanosuke,
exactly what kind of guy is he?
[04:19] ---
Himura Battosai. The man
who used to be a legendary manslayer.
[04:25] ---
I see.
[04:26] ---
So he's the infamous Hitokiri Battosai.
[04:34] ---
Did you come here to take Sanosuke back?
[04:37] ---
No.
[04:38] ---
This is how Sanosuke
chose to act as a man.
[04:42] ---
It is something I cannot make
any objections about.
[04:48] ---
I came here to stop your atrocious acts.
[04:53] ---
Sakabato.
[04:56] ---
Once again,
an Imperialist is standing in our way.
[05:00] ---
But...
[05:03] ---
this time, I won't lose!
[05:04] ---
Take this!
[05:08] ---
Damn Imperialist!
[05:10] ---
Yeah. That is all the more reason
[05:12] ---
why I couldn't just brush aside
your stupid acts, that I couldn't.
[05:19] ---
A mere hitokiri
telling me like he knows!
[05:21] ---
Give it up!
[05:26] ---
What about this?
[05:35] ---
All right!
You were caught off guard, Imperialist!
[05:38] ---
No.
[05:40] ---
He wasn't off his guard.
[05:43] ---
He...
[05:45] ---
dodged that.
[05:50] ---
Care to go further, that you do?
[05:59] ---
Sanosuke!
[06:00] ---
That's enough.
[06:02] ---
You can't defeat him with stuff like that.
[06:05] ---
We've lost too much time, and the cops
will come soon because of all the noise.
[06:09] ---
Ridiculous! I haven't done
anything meaningful yet!
[06:13] ---
I can't give up my greatest wish
for the past 10 years
[06:15] ---
for something like this.
[06:18] ---
Sa... no...
[06:20] ---
Don't think badly of this.
[06:24] ---
Now, how should we get outta here?
[06:28] ---
Sano.
[06:33] ---
It was all part of the plan, huh?
[06:36] ---
Sorry to cause you trouble like this.
[06:39] ---
It's nothing.
[06:41] ---
Hey.
[06:43] ---
If I had kept helping him out...
[06:47] ---
would you have struck me down in the end?
[06:52] ---
Yeah.
[06:53] ---
I wouldn't want
a halfhearted collusion, that I don't.
[06:57] ---
I wouldn't hold back.
[07:01] ---
Thanks.
[07:14] ---
My room?
[07:27] ---
If you're looking for the bombs,
Kenshin took all of them.
[07:31] ---
He said he'd find some place out of sight
and bury them all.
[07:35] ---
Damn dog of the government!
[07:38] ---
It's nothing like that.
[07:40] ---
Was it you?
Did you lead him all the way here?
[07:44] ---
Yeah.
[07:45] ---
You're telling me...
[07:47] ---
you betrayed me?
[07:49] ---
Listen to me, Katsu.
[07:51] ---
Shut up!
[07:53] ---
I won't rely on you anymore!
[07:54] ---
Katsu! What the hell are you gonna do?
[07:56] ---
Seppuku!
[07:58] ---
What?
[07:59] ---
I assume the Home Ministry
still has a heart.
[08:02] ---
I'll slice my gut open
right in front of them
[08:04] ---
and expose the wrongdoings
of the Meiji government as I die!
[08:09] ---
What is something like that going to do?
[08:11] ---
My unusual death
will surely remain in people's hearts!
[08:15] ---
That will lead to the search for truth
[08:18] ---
and become a seed for distrust
of the Meiji government!
[08:20] ---
No, I will make it happen!
[08:22] ---
Gimme a break, already!
[08:24] ---
Things ain't gonna go
that conveniently for you!
[08:27] ---
Farewell, Sanosuke.
[08:34] ---
A smoke bomb?
[08:40] ---
Katsu...
[08:44] ---
Katsu!
[08:47] ---
RUROUNI KENSHIN
[09:00] ---
Not just explosives,
but smoke bombs and flash bombs.
[09:04] ---
He really is an artisan, that he is.
[09:06] ---
Sorry for this trouble.
[09:08] ---
It's nothing you should worry about,
that it isn't.
[09:10] ---
I can deal with things of this sort
in any number of ways.
[09:14] ---
However...
[09:17] ---
the rest is your job, that it is.
[09:23] ---
Yeah.
[09:29] ---
Hey!
[09:31] ---
Where are you headed this late at night?
[09:35] ---
Hey, are you listening?
[09:37] ---
Where are you going?
[09:39] ---
Where?
[09:42] ---
Where should I be going?
[09:45] ---
What?
[09:50] ---
Man, I passed him!
[10:03] ---
Katsu!
[10:15] ---
Oh, damn it!
[10:19] ---
Stand up, damn you!
[10:21] ---
Let me go!
[10:22] ---
Shut up!
[10:23] ---
You're causing me trouble!
[10:25] ---
We're going home, damn it!
[10:26] ---
Go home by yourself!
[10:28] ---
I have something left undone!
[10:30] ---
Don't mess with me anymore, you traitor!
[10:33] ---
Huh?
[10:34] ---
What part of me
are you callin' a traitor, damn it?
[10:37] ---
You got in touch with an Imperialist
and foiled my plan!
[10:41] ---
Gimme a break!
[10:42] ---
I haven't said one word
about your plan to anyone else!
[10:47] ---
Then why was he there?
[10:49] ---
Hell if I know!
[10:50] ---
He's a guy that always barges
into other people's business like that!
[10:53] ---
I can't believe you!
[10:55] ---
Give me back my 10 years!
[11:02] ---
You're acting like some delinquent!
[11:05] ---
And you still claim to be
with the Sekiho Army—
[11:11] ---
Katsu, you...
[11:24] ---
Don't get me wrong.
[11:27] ---
This is enough to take you on.
[11:30] ---
That's a relief.
[11:32] ---
Looks like you're not rotten
in the deepest part of your heart.
[11:37] ---
Don't feel relief.
[11:39] ---
You've not once
been able to win against me.
[11:43] ---
As if...
[11:58] ---
That won't work.
[11:59] ---
Neither will yours.
[12:00] ---
You slacked off too much, Sanosuke.
[12:03] ---
Huh?
[12:04] ---
Gimme a br—
[12:16] ---
Quit it.
[12:17] ---
You can't win against me in a fight.
[12:20] ---
This is... not a fight.
[12:27] ---
In order to clear the 10-year grudge
of the Sekiho Army
[12:30] ---
and to bring its pride back...
[12:32] ---
this is a battle!
[12:35] ---
That's why I will not lose!
[12:37] ---
I cannot lose!
[12:38] ---
Sanosuke! The 10 years I spent
were completely different from yours!
[12:44] ---
Sanosuke!
[12:46] ---
In the 10 years that our captain
was disgraced,
[12:49] ---
while the Meiji government
blamed the Sekiho Army,
[12:53] ---
what the hell were you doing?
[12:55] ---
You spent all your time in petty fights,
[12:56] ---
and then you got all buddy-buddy
with a former Imperialist?
[13:00] ---
What did you learn
from the Sekiho Army and our captain?
[13:09] ---
Enough of that!
[13:11] ---
You have no right to say that!
[13:13] ---
What exactly are you?
[13:15] ---
You were cooped up in your own
little shell for 10 years and made bombs!
[13:19] ---
There were many other ways
to clear the name of our captain!
[13:24] ---
In the first place,
you're 10 years too late to accuse 'em!
[13:29] ---
What... do you mean?
[13:32] ---
Whether we rot away for 10 years,
[13:34] ---
whether the Meiji government
goes corrupt...
[13:36] ---
the guys in town are creating a new world
with their own hands!
[13:41] ---
You saw them, didn't you?
[13:43] ---
That dojo girl
is running around every day,
[13:45] ---
trying to spread swordsmanship
in this Meiji world!
[13:49] ---
Yahiko was born to a samurai family,
but he's as good as forsaken.
[13:54] ---
Even then, he doesn't pout at all
[13:56] ---
and swings that bamboo sword
morning and night!
[13:59] ---
That girl doctor Megumi
was roped into some shady business,
[14:03] ---
but she's since turned herself around and
is checking on the sick people in town!
[14:07] ---
Shu and Ginji have never complained
about their current situations!
[14:11] ---
They're desperate every day,
but still live each day laughing!
[14:16] ---
And after everything that's happened,
[14:18] ---
they all sat down together
for food and booze last night.
[14:22] ---
Ain't that the equality
for the four classes
[14:24] ---
that the captain was aiming for, huh?
[14:27] ---
Then, what I am trying to do...
[14:30] ---
It's useless! It's only trouble!
[14:41] ---
Useless, you say?
[14:46] ---
Katsu, even if you commit seppuku,
the world won't move because of it.
[14:53] ---
Everyone is living in the present day.
[14:58] ---
Let's go home.
[15:03] ---
Sanosuke, where is Battosai?
[15:06] ---
If he were to hand over my bombs
to the government...
[15:11] ---
I told you. He ain't someone like that.
[15:15] ---
He's just like us.
[15:16] ---
He doesn't think well
of how the government is run right now.
[15:22] ---
No, because he was part of creating
the current government,
[15:26] ---
he feels it even more than us.
[15:28] ---
Don't be silly.
[15:30] ---
What does a mere manslayer know about us?
[15:32] ---
He knows.
[15:36] ---
A former manslayer who had a taste
of countless shady acts including murder
[15:41] ---
as an active member behind the scenes
of the Meiji Revolution.
[15:45] ---
That is all the more reason...
[15:47] ---
he couldn't just stand by
and watch us do something shady.
[15:54] ---
Hey, Katsu...
[15:55] ---
Our captain mentioned
he did some shady stuff
[15:58] ---
before his days in the Sekiho Army.
[16:00] ---
But I don't think
he did all that willingly.
[16:04] ---
The Sekiho Army was a squad that lived
[16:06] ---
under the ideals of equality
for the four classes.
[16:09] ---
We can't tarnish its name
after all this time.
[16:14] ---
I don't care if it's pure or tarnished!
[16:17] ---
There is no need to think about the means
to fulfill our objectives!
[16:21] ---
I see.
[16:23] ---
That means we really
will become a fake Imperial Army.
[16:29] ---
Nobody ever picks this one up.
[16:32] ---
SEKIHO ARMY CAPTAIN
SOZO SAGARA
[16:32] ---
Not the leader of a fake Imperial Army.
[16:40] ---
Just because the government dudes
are all corrupted,
[16:43] ---
that doesn't mean
that we gotta stoop to their level.
[16:46] ---
It doesn't matter if it's slow and steady.
[16:49] ---
Such a path that our captain
will smile upon me from the afterlife...
[16:53] ---
that's the path I'll take.
[17:47] ---
Captain...
[17:52] ---
What's wrong?
[17:53] ---
Oh, Sanosuke ate Katsuhiro's fish
without permission or something.
[17:59] ---
Well, they're arguing like usual.
[18:02] ---
I see.
[18:04] ---
Come on, Sanosuke!
Get him down without stopping!
[18:07] ---
Katsu, you better not give up!
[18:09] ---
You won't lose until you say you give up!
[18:12] ---
Stop it! There's no way
you can win against me!
[18:15] ---
Shut up! I won't lose
until I get my stolen trout back!
[18:20] ---
You're so stubborn!
[18:23] ---
What's wrong, Sanosuke?
[18:26] ---
Katsuhiro! The legs!
[18:32] ---
Katsuhiro won.
[18:35] ---
Man, you did it!
[18:38] ---
Ow.
[18:42] ---
Well done.
[18:46] ---
You should fight in your own way.
[18:59] ---
My own way...
[19:10] ---
So, how is Tsunan Tsukioka
doing since, that is?
[19:14] ---
Who knows?
[19:15] ---
Oro?
[19:16] ---
I totally pummeled him, so I kinda
feel awkward and haven't gone to see him.
[19:23] ---
Oh! If it isn't the young man
from the other day!
[19:28] ---
What perfect timing!
[19:29] ---
Oh. Sorry about the other day.
[19:32] ---
You need something?
[19:33] ---
Yeah.
[19:34] ---
There was something
Mr. Tsukioka asked me to give to you.
[19:39] ---
He said it was the final Nishiki painting
from Tsunan Tsukioka.
[19:43] ---
I don't know what got into him,
[19:46] ---
but he suddenly said he was going
to start an illustrated newspaper
[19:49] ---
and correct the tyranny
of the government with it.
[19:52] ---
I told him that he shouldn't, because they
crack down pretty hard, but...
[19:56] ---
Oh, man.
He was a really popular artist, too.
[20:01] ---
SEKIHO ARMY
CAPTAIN SOZO SAGARA
[20:02] ---
It's really a shame, mister.
[21:43] ---
So, what was the ruckus
the other day all about?
[21:48] ---
Well, the courtyard lawn
was charred in several spots,
[21:52] ---
and there was damage
to a part of the wall,
[21:55] ---
but no further damage
to the facility nor personnel.
[21:59] ---
There was no claim of responsibility,
[22:01] ---
so we're investigating the incident
as a malicious prank.
[22:05] ---
It's springtime after all,
so there will be a few loonies out there.
[22:09] ---
Um...
[22:11] ---
can it be the doings
of someone from Shishio's group?
[22:15] ---
D-Don't be ridiculous!
[22:17] ---
Them? Here at the Home Ministry?
Impossible!
[22:21] ---
Kawaji.
[22:23] ---
Yes, sir.
[22:24] ---
There have been no sightings
of Shishio's group in the Tokyo area.
[22:28] ---
Please rest assured, Sir Okubo.
[22:31] ---
Hmm.
[22:33] ---
If it was their doing,
there should have been some casualties.
[22:37] ---
However, we cannot drop our guard.
[22:40] ---
Please continue the investigation.
[22:42] ---
Yes, sir!
