[00:03] ---
He can do it!
[00:05] ---
He didn't even flinch
from a blow by the Battosai.
[00:09] ---
Can this really be—
[00:11] ---
You really are stupid.
[00:15] ---
His prized zanbato was easily dodged.
[00:19] ---
No matter how he goes about it,
there's no way Zanza can win.
[00:23] ---
Huh? Then—
[00:24] ---
Don't worry.
[00:26] ---
I have a plan.
[00:29] ---
Things will go as I had planned after all!
[00:34] ---
Hey, Battosai.
Are you okay with a stance like that?
[00:39] ---
Your attack won't work against me.
[00:43] ---
No need to worry.
[00:45] ---
More like now is the time for you
to sheathe your sword, that it is.
[00:51] ---
Where in the world
is there a sheath for this thing?
[00:56] ---
I can't start a fight
and finish it half-assed.
[01:00] ---
Let's get act two of this fight started!
[02:35] ---
EPISODE 5:
AND THEN, ANOTHER
[02:58] ---
The distance...
[03:02] ---
Take this, Battosai!
[03:20] ---
Zanza, one blow
does not work against you.
[03:24] ---
If so...
[03:26] ---
Consecutive attacks!
[03:33] ---
He did it!
[03:38] ---
So strong...
[03:39] ---
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu...
[03:41] ---
Ryuusosen.
[03:43] ---
Zanbato, due to
its super-heavyweight nature,
[03:46] ---
limits the form of attack.
[03:49] ---
Either you swing down or sweep.
There are only two choices.
[03:54] ---
Quite an easy read.
[03:57] ---
He isn't just at another level.
[03:59] ---
There's an entire magnitude
of a difference.
[04:01] ---
I didn't think he would be this strong.
[04:05] ---
I can't win.
[04:07] ---
This is not act two.
[04:09] ---
This is the epilogue, that it is.
[04:12] ---
Let us stop meaningless combat.
[04:15] ---
Moreover, I do not want to point my sword
against you any longer, that I don't.
[04:19] ---
Calmly admit your defeat, that you should.
[04:25] ---

Captain... Sagara...
[04:33] ---
TEN YEARS AGO
TOSANDO
[04:38] ---
What the hell is that?
[04:40] ---
That's the Sekiho Army,
the vanguard of the Imperial Army.
[04:44] ---
What are they doing so far north?
[04:46] ---
They're going around with word
of the Land Tax Halving Order.
[04:48] ---
If the Imperialist forces
take over the Shogunate,
[04:51] ---
apparently our land tax
will be cut in half.
[04:53] ---
That's a good thing to hear.
[04:56] ---
In 1868, the Sekiho Army was formed
as a nationalist squad
[05:00] ---
immediately after
the Battle of Toba-Fushimi,
[05:03] ---
consisting of civilian
and nonofficial personnel.
[05:06] ---
They scouted the roadside domains
ahead of the Imperial Army,
[05:10] ---
the Revolutionary warriors.
[05:12] ---
They served as the guide and vanguard
that assisted the main forces.
[05:18] ---
The First Unit of the Sekiho Army,
led by Sozo Sagara
[05:21] ---
OLD KYOTO
SETA
[05:21] ---
MISAKA PASS
SONOHARA
[05:21] ---
USUI PASS
[05:21] ---
had been heading north along Tosando,
[05:23] ---
relaying the Land Tax Halving Order
declared by the Revolutionary warriors.
[05:24] ---
OLD KYOTO
[05:25] ---
MISAKA PASS

[05:29] ---
Once we're past the village, we will rest.
[05:31] ---
Yes, sir!
[05:39] ---
Captain! The meal's almost done!
[05:42] ---
Wait, what are you doing?
[05:45] ---
Look.
[05:47] ---
That?
[05:48] ---
It's just some smoke.
[05:50] ---
It means they have firewood to burn
and meals to eat.
[05:55] ---
Don't you think that's a great thing?
[05:57] ---
Of course...
[05:58] ---
I have seen many villages
where fires wouldn't burn.
[06:05] ---
Watch closely, Sanosuke.
[06:09] ---
The 300-year domination
of Tokugawa is about to end,
[06:11] ---
raising the curtains on a new era.
[06:14] ---
An age where the weak are abused
and had to cry in their sleep will end,
[06:17] ---
and an era of equality
for the four classes
[06:20] ---
with no man standing
over another, will begin.
[06:23] ---
We of the Sekiho Army
stand at the front line.
[06:26] ---
"How hard we work will determine
if that is in one year or ten," right?
[06:33] ---
Katsuhiro and I
have heard it countless times.
[06:36] ---
I see. That means the future
of the Sekiho Army is also secure.
[06:42] ---
Hey, Captain.
[06:43] ---
If changing the world succeeds
[06:45] ---
and we get this era of equality
for the four classes,
[06:49] ---
will I, the son of a farmer,
proudly be able to have a surname?
[06:53] ---
Yeah.
[06:54] ---
Then, can I use
the last name Sagara, Captain?
[06:58] ---
Sanosuke Sagara, huh?
[07:01] ---
Yeah!
[07:02] ---
Stop it.
[07:03] ---
You'll end up with a strange name.
[07:05] ---
It's not strange. It's the best!
[07:09] ---
If you're fine with it, do as you wish.
[07:13] ---
Okay!
[07:16] ---
Impossible! We are—
[07:18] ---
You say the Sekiho Army
is a fake Imperial Army?
[07:21] ---
The Government-General
ordered units from each region
[07:23] ---
to capture "the Sekiho Army,
a fake Imperial Army."
[07:27] ---
My squad stationed at Usui Pass
has been eradicated!
[07:31] ---
No way!
[07:32] ---
What in the world? Why?
[07:36] ---
They cut us off!
The Land Tax Halving Order
[07:38] ---
that the Sekiho Army was relaying
was becoming a nuisance!
[07:42] ---
What do you mean?
[07:43] ---
In order to gain support
of farmers in each region,
[07:46] ---
they promised the Land Tax Halving Order.
[07:48] ---
With the financial difficulties
of the Imperialist government,
[07:51] ---
they can't possibly go through with it.
[07:53] ---
That's why they framed the Sekiho Army
as a fake Imperial Army
[07:55] ---
and pretend none of it never happened.
[07:58] ---
What should we do, Captain Sagara?
[08:00] ---
Captain!
[08:02] ---
We can't go against
the Government-General.
[08:05] ---
For now, we can head over
to the stronghold in Shimosuwa.
[08:08] ---
Sanosuke, Katsuhiro,
both of you wait here.
[08:13] ---
What do you mean by that?
[08:14] ---
You guys are still young.
[08:17] ---
I can't afford to take you any further.
[08:19] ---
Captain.
[08:21] ---
Captain.
[08:23] ---
It'll be fine. Don't worry.
[08:26] ---
Keep watch while we're away.
[08:37] ---
Captain Sagara.
[08:47] ---
Sanosuke!
[08:48] ---
What's wrong, Katsuhiro?
[08:52] ---
Our captain!
[08:57] ---
Let me through! Come on, let me through!
[08:59] ---
Captain!
[09:01] ---
Captain.
[09:03] ---
Capt—
[09:07] ---
"Fake Imperial Army, Sekiho Army,
First Unit Captain, Sozo Sagara.
[09:11] ---
Sentenced to beheading
for the crime of using falsehoods
[09:14] ---
such as halving land tax
to deceive the minds of people," huh?
[09:17] ---
Don't make us happy prematurely, I say.
[09:21] ---
The Sekiho Army is a bunch of criminals!
[09:28] ---
His spirit that was almost gone
has returned?
[09:32] ---
I can't lose.
[09:34] ---
I can't lose!
[09:41] ---
He stood up!
[09:43] ---
His spirit is stronger than ever.
[09:46] ---
They made Captain Sagara...
[09:48] ---
They made us, the Sekiho Army,
bear the burden of the bad letter
[09:52] ---
while those Imperialists
look like they're the face of justice.
[09:56] ---
I absolutely can't let myself lose!
[09:58] ---
Sekiho Army?
[10:02] ---
Kenshin!
[10:06] ---
Amazing!
[10:07] ---
He landed a blow!
[10:10] ---
So much strength,
even after getting hit with Ryuusosen.
[10:14] ---
He is quite the man.
[10:19] ---
All right! Now!
[10:20] ---
Die, Battosai!
[10:24] ---
No!
[10:29] ---
Kenshin...
[10:32] ---
B-Bro?
[10:33] ---
A plan finally works when you double down,
even triple down, on your tactics!
[10:38] ---
Your luck ended at the moment
you thought I only had one gun!
[10:47] ---
Kenshin!
[10:52] ---
He clearly saw the trajectory
[10:54] ---
and reacted with the sword guard...
[10:57] ---
However, what about this?
[11:02] ---
Gohei, make sure the brats can't escape!
[11:04] ---
Make sure they can't escape, Bro?
[11:07] ---
Break their legs!
[11:09] ---
I see.
[11:10] ---
Damn it!
[11:12] ---
Kaoru, this ain't the time to space out!
[11:14] ---
Hurry up, and run!
[11:15] ---
I can't.
I'm weak in the knees seeing that...
[11:18] ---
Huh?
[11:19] ---
I can't help it!
[11:20] ---
You're the one that needs
to hurry on out of here!
[11:22] ---
I'll somehow make do here!
[11:24] ---
You can't do anything about this!
[11:28] ---
Writhe! Struggle!
[11:35] ---
I thought I told you.
[11:37] ---
This is my fight.
[11:39] ---
I won't allow anyone to get in my way!
[11:41] ---
Zan—
[11:43] ---
I ain't gonna lose!
[11:45] ---
I can't afford to lose here!
[11:48] ---
Kihei.
[11:51] ---
You really are a hopeless soul.
[11:54] ---
Enough nonsense!
[11:55] ---
Huh?
[11:59] ---
I eased up enough
for you to not fall unconscious.
[12:02] ---
You can have a taste of living hell
for a bit.
[12:07] ---
The burden of the word "bad" really
should be on the backs of folks like you.
[12:12] ---
No... it should be us,
the Revolutionary warriors.
[12:20] ---
Let's settle the score...
[12:23] ---
Mr. Strongest Imperialist!
[12:28] ---
All right.
[12:30] ---
We shall settle the score, that we shall.
[12:33] ---
Kenshin!
[12:40] ---
RUROUNI KENSHIN
[12:47] ---
Here goes, Battosai!
[12:52] ---
What? What's he planning on doing?
[12:55] ---
Centrifugal force! He's adding
centrifugal force from the spin
[12:58] ---
on top of his innate strength
and weight of the zanbato!
[13:04] ---
Ever since the fall of the Sekiho Army,
I spent all my time in street fights!
[13:10] ---
I could forget about everything
when I was fighting!
[13:15] ---
And in ten years, I've gotten stronger!
[13:18] ---
With that strength,
I will defeat the strongest Imperialist!
[13:24] ---
Such meager strength
won't be able to defeat me.
[13:46] ---
Wait, that's—
[13:48] ---
How he defeated Hiruma...
[13:50] ---
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu...
[13:52] ---
Ryuutsuisen.
[14:01] ---
You really are a tough one.
[14:03] ---
You're the first one that didn't fall over
[14:06] ---
after getting hit with Ryuutsuisen,
that you are.
[14:09] ---
But I figure you are barely standing,
that you should be.
[14:13] ---
I'll call for a doctor now,
so wait there, that you will.
[14:16] ---
Not yet!
[14:17] ---
It's not over yet!
[14:19] ---
I haven't fallen!
[14:21] ---
I haven't lost!
[14:22] ---
In the name of Sagara
and Sekiho Army,
[14:25] ---
I can't lose against an Imperialist,
even if it kills me!
[14:32] ---
Kenshin!
[14:33] ---
You can't be...
[14:34] ---
That's right!
[14:36] ---
Come on, bring it!
[14:37] ---
Come on, what's the matter?
[14:38] ---
Come on! Bring it!
[14:40] ---
Come at me!
[14:46] ---
Aren't you picking a fight
against the wrong person, that you are?
[14:50] ---
So the Sekiho Army taught you
to defeat Revolutionary warriors?
[14:54] ---
Or is it to make the Revolution happen?
[14:57] ---
Shut up!
[14:58] ---
I don't want to hear it from you!
[15:00] ---
You spoke of equality
for the four classes,
[15:03] ---
yet you drowned in greed,
[15:05] ---
and you guys are satisfied
making up a fake new era
[15:07] ---
where only you guys can get all cocky!
[15:09] ---
So I don't wanna hear it
from an Imperialist!
[15:11] ---
That's not true!
[15:14] ---
Kenshin isn't one of those Imperialists!
[15:17] ---
He doesn't care at all about
an honorable post in the government.
[15:20] ---
He's a rurouni that keeps freely
protecting people with his sword!
[15:24] ---
You only know of Kenshin
as Hitokiri Battosai!
[15:27] ---
Don't you be picking a fight and
spouting off to your heart's content!
[15:30] ---
That's right! If you're gonna keep at it,
I'll take you on!
[15:36] ---
Zanza.
[15:37] ---
The Revolution is not over yet.
[15:40] ---
It's true that in form,
the Revolution happened ten years ago
[15:44] ---
and we have entered the new era of Meiji.
[15:47] ---
However, the people
who truly need happiness
[15:51] ---
are still trapped in an old time
where the weak are oppressed.
[15:56] ---
That is why I, in my own humble way,
[15:59] ---
swing this sword so that I can
be of assistance for those people.
[16:05] ---
Whether it will be
in a year or in ten years
[16:08] ---
or if the end of the Revolution
never arrives...
[16:13] ---
I have no idea.
[16:14] ---
But I believe that doing this
will be my atonement
[16:17] ---
for those that fell victim
to the Meiji Revolution.
[16:21] ---
I believe it will be atonement
[16:23] ---
for all the people
Hitokiri Battosai has slain, that I do.
[16:28] ---
It's the same thing.
[16:39] ---
This guy is the same
as Captain Sagara...
[16:42] ---
who fought envisioning
his dream of a real new era.
[16:47] ---
And he is still continuing his battle...
[16:52] ---
while I felt despair, gave up...
[16:57] ---
and had been trying to forget about it
all through street fights.
[17:11] ---
I'm sorry, Captain Sagara.
[17:15] ---
Against this guy, I...
[17:19] ---
have suffered a complete defeat.
[17:29] ---
I heard that Zanza's injuries were severe.
[17:33] ---
Bruises all over and excessive bleeding.
[17:35] ---
Apparently it will take him three months
to be able to properly move.
[17:39] ---
Zanza was leagues above
all the others I have faced so far,
[17:43] ---
so I couldn't quite go easy on him,
that I couldn't.
[17:46] ---
Hmm?
[17:50] ---
Is something the matter, that is?
[17:52] ---
You know, you shouldn't be
all depressed forever.
[17:57] ---
Oh, no, it's not that I—
[17:59] ---
Kenshin, I think Zanza
had a point with what he said,
[18:03] ---
but you're not that type
of Imperialist, are you?
[18:06] ---
I'm sure that point got across
to Zanza as well yesterday.
[18:11] ---
I'm sure he understood as well,
as stupid as he may be.
[18:14] ---
So don't worry about it.
[18:16] ---
Thank you very much, that is.
[18:19] ---
BEEF HOT-POT AND SAKE
AKABEKO RESTAURANT
[18:20] ---
How about we change things up a bit
and splurge by eating some beef hot-pot?
[18:24] ---
Again?
[18:30] ---
Oro?
[18:31] ---
You guys are from the other day...
[18:33] ---
Sheesh.
[18:35] ---
I don't care if you get drunk
and pick a fight with me,
[18:38] ---
but can you at least do that
after you train a bit and get stronger?
[18:42] ---
Zanza?
[18:44] ---
Yo. Thanks for takin' care
of me yesterday.
[18:47] ---
You can already get up and about,
that you can?
[18:51] ---
Heh! My sales pitch is
how I'm able to take a lot of hits.
[18:54] ---
That was nothin'.
[18:58] ---
Poke.
[18:59] ---
- Poke.
- Poke.
[19:03] ---
My sales pitch...
is how I'm able...
[19:05] ---
to take a lot of hits.
That was... nothin'.
[19:07] ---
He's grinning and bearing quite a bit.
[19:12] ---
Zanza.
[19:12] ---
You're not going to remove the "bad"
on your back, that you aren't?
[19:12] ---
BAD
[19:16] ---
Yeah. For me, the Sekiho Army is a past
I can't forget, so I can't take it off.
[19:21] ---
And you say my personality is warped...
[19:24] ---
but that's something I can't
do anything about now that I'm 19.
[19:30] ---
Even what you said yesterday,
[19:32] ---
I think about how you can say
anything you feel like saying.
[19:35] ---
So, you know,
[19:37] ---
how different are you from those
fraud Imperialists that are all talk?
[19:41] ---
I'll be shadowing you from now on
to figure it out with my own eyes.
[19:47] ---
And one more thing.
[19:48] ---
I'm not Zanza anymore.
[19:50] ---
I don't have my zanbato anymore,
and I stopped being a fighter for hire.
[19:54] ---
I'm just plain old Sanosuke Sagara,
a guy that likes to fight.
[19:58] ---
Just like how you are no longer
the Hitokiri Battosai.
[20:04] ---
So there you have it.
[20:05] ---
You better not wander away from here
without my permission, Kenshin!
[20:11] ---
Good grief.
[20:13] ---
We have yet another strange one,
that we do.
[20:18] ---
Ms. Tae?
[20:19] ---
Mr. Sanosuke ran off without paying again.
[20:23] ---
Oro?
[22:07] ---
Pl-Please. I'll give you
as much money as you want.
[22:10] ---
So, pl-please, spare my life...
[22:14] ---
So the old Revolutionary warrior
has gone senile bathing in all that money?
[22:24] ---
Wh-What? I can't move my body!
[22:28] ---
What's going on?
[22:35] ---
Die.
