***SIGN*** Wanted
**[00:33] Tea Shop Daughter**
Pops!
**[00:35] Ronin B**
Insolent old man.
**[00:36] Ronin A**
It's our right to cut you down.
**[00:41] Ronin A**
What?
**[00:43] Ichibanboshi**
Hey.
**[00:44] Ichibanboshi**
Do you guys know the samurai
who wear these masks?
**[00:47] Ronin B**
Asshole.
**[00:50] Ronin C**
Where did you get that?
**[00:52] Ichibanboshi**
Looks like I finally found you.
**[01:01] Ronin B**
Who are you?
**[01:04] Ichibanboshi**
The Samurai Killer, Ichibanboshi, has arrived!
***SIGN*** The Samurai Killer
***SIGN*** Ichibanboshi
**[01:09] Ronin B**
Give your life...
**[01:10] Ronin A**
...for the nation!
**[01:12] Ichibanboshi**
Nation, my ass.
**[01:14] Ichibanboshi**
Everyone's been through a whole
hell of a lot because of you guys!
**[01:17] Thief-Takers**
Thief-takers, coming through!
***SIGN*** Weeoo Weeoo
**[01:19] Ichibanboshi**
Damn it! Let go of me!
**[01:23] Ichibanboshi**
*Long before I was born,*
**[01:25] Ichibanboshi**
* someone, somewhere, turned this*
* world into absolute shit.*
**[01:31] Ichibanboshi**
* And this shit world still*
* smells like shit to this day.*
**[01:38] Ichibanboshi**
*Samurai are samurai, and peasants are peasants.*
**[01:42] Ichibanboshi**
*Wretches die wretched deaths.*
**[01:54] Ugo**
This is ridiculous. Where are we?
**[01:59] Sogen**
It would seem my heart is still beating.
**[02:02] Suzuran**
Have we arrived at the Sanzu River?
**[02:05] Gyataro**
Did you have to tie us up so tight?
**[02:08] Bo**
Huh?
**[02:10] Akira**
Who...
**[02:11] Sakuya**
...are you?
**[02:14] Todo**
I am the eighth unit captain of the
Shinsengumi, formerly the Mibu Roshigumi,
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi Eighth Unit Captain
Todo Heisuke
**[02:19] Todo**
Todo Heisuke.
**[02:22] Ichibanboshi**
What? You're a piece of shit
samurai of the shit brigade?
**[02:29] Todo**
A human-shaped turd like you has
no right to denigrate a samurai!
**[02:35] Ichibanhoshi**
What do you think you're—
**[02:37] Todo**
Looks like the man-turd
is spewing maggots now.
**[02:39] Sakuya**
Why did you bring us here?
**[02:42] Akira**
Let's make one thing clear.
**[02:44] Akira**
We were supposed to be beheaded.
**[02:47] Akira**
Are you going to kill us?
**[02:49] Todo**
On August 18th, the day
the government changed,
**[02:53] Todo**
someone assassinated Kondou Isami and
the other commanders of the Shinsengumi.
**[03:00] (Flashback) Todo**
Commander...
**[03:01] (Flashback) Todo**
Hijikata-san... Guys...
**[03:08] Todo**
You were condemned to die today.
**[03:12] Todo**
You'll die and be reborn as
leaders of the Shinsengumi.
**[03:16] Suzuran**
What, like shadow leaders?
**[03:19] Sogen**
Since they've already died,
we'll be more like substitutes.
**[03:24] Todo**
If you become their substitutes and
the Shinsengumi continues to exist,
**[03:29] Todo**
your executions will be called off.
**[03:31] Todo**
If you refuse, now that you know
our secret, you can't be allowed to live.
**[03:36] Sakuya**
If we refuse, we'll be executed immediately.
**[03:39] Akira**
That's why you chose criminals.
**[03:41] Bo**
Talk about a crazy plan.
**[03:42] Gyataro**
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
**[03:45] Todo**
Kondou Isami, Serizawa Kamo,
Sannan Keisuke, Saitou Hajime,
**[03:49] Todo**
Harada Sanosuke, Okita Souji,
Nagakura Shinpachi, and Hijikata Toshizou.
**[03:54] Todo**
Choose now.
**[03:56] Todo**
Die here, or become their substitutes.
**[03:59] Sakuya**
What does the Shinsengumi do?
**[04:02] Todo**
Receive orders from Matsudaira Katamori,
and maintain peace and order in the capital.
**[04:06] Sakuya**
Do you kill people?
**[04:07] Todo**
Yes.
**[04:08] Sakuya**
Then I accept.
**[04:12] Todo**
Hijikata Toshizou, welcome.
**[04:14] Ichibanboshi**
That's all it takes for you
to join the Shinsengumi?
**[04:17] Sakuya**
Killing people is the only
thing I know how to do.
**[04:21] Sakuya**
As long as I'm getting paid to kill people,
**[04:23] Sakuya**
then it makes no difference whether it's
for the Shinsengumi or as a hitman.
***SIGN*** The Hitman
***SIGN*** Sakuya
**[04:29] Sakuya**
Until now, I've followed
the rules of hired killers.
**[04:33] Sakuya**
What should I follow in the Shinsengumi?
**[04:35] Todo**
Me. In the Shinsengumi,
Todo Heisuke is the law.
**[04:39] Sakuya**
Understood.
**[04:40] Ichibanboshi**
Hah! You're already sucking up to him?
**[04:42] Bo**
Wanna eat lotsa yum-yums!
**[04:45] Todo**
Naturally, we'll serve you
all the rice you can eat.
**[04:48] Todo**
We'll even provide drinks and sides to go with.
**[04:50] Bo**
Join the Shinsengumi.
**[04:52] Todo**
Harada Sanosuke, welcome.
**[04:54] Bo**
I'mma work real hard and eat lotsa yum-yums!
***SIGN*** The Glutton
***SIGN*** Bo
**[05:01] Gyataro**
I don't have any reason to say no, either.
**[05:05] Gyataro**
The great Gyataro will grace your
Shinsengumi with his presence.
**[05:08] Kondou**
Nagakura Shinpachi, welcome.
**[05:11] Gyataro**
There's no freaking way I'm dying here.
**[05:14] Gyataro**
I haven't had my fill of liquor,
women, or gambling yet.
***SIGN*** The Crime Collector
***SIGN*** Gyataro
**[05:21] Ugo**
Foolish Shinsengumi!
**[05:23] Ugo**
Nothing can sway my loyalty to the emperor.
**[05:25] Ugu**
I'll never be a dog of the shogunate.
**[05:29] Sakuya**
Number 808.
**[05:34] Bo**
No...
**[05:36] Sakuya**
Did I do something wrong?
**[05:38] Todo**
No, that was the right call.
**[05:40] Todo**
I'll write in the record that
Serizawa Kamo died a violent death.
**[05:42] Ichibanboshi**
Damn samurai don't care about human lives.
**[05:48] Gyataro**
This place is crazier than prison.
**[05:50] Sogen**
I have an unrelated question.
**[05:53] Sogen**
May I have this body?
**[05:58] Todo**
Do as you please.
**[05:59] Sogen**
Then I shall join the Shinsengumi, too.
**[06:02] Todo**
Sannan Keisuke, welcome.
**[06:06] Sogen**
I doubt I'll lack for injured patients
to treat or dead bodies to dissect here.
***SIGN*** The Psycho Doctor
***SIGN*** Sogen
**[06:13] Suzuran**
I guess I'll join the Shinsengumi, too.
**[06:16] Todo**
Saito Hajime, welcome.
**[06:19] Suzuran**
If you're going to producing
that many corpses,
**[06:21] Suzuran**
you'll need someone to pray
for their restless souls.
***SIGN*** The Sinful Monk
***SIGN*** Suzuran
**[06:27] Akira**
Let me confirm one thing.
**[06:29] Akira**
Is it really acceptable for a woman
like me to take Okita Soji's place?
**[06:34] Ichibanboshi**
You're a woman?
**[06:35] Todo**
The Shinsengumi is a total meritocracy.
**[06:38] Todo**
You're the only one who cares
if you're a woman or not.
**[06:43] Akira**
Got it. I'll join, too.
**[06:46] Todo**
Okita Soji, welcome.
**[06:49] Akira**
I disguise myself in order
to test my strength.
**[06:53] Akira**
I won't be outdone by any man,
whether it's swordsmanship or academics.
***SIGN*** The Cross-Dressing Woman
***SIGN*** Akira
**[06:58] Todo**
I heard from the prison guards that
you're an instructor in swordsmanship.
**[07:02] Akira**
Indeed I am.
**[07:03] Todo**
I'd like you to train the other substitutes.
**[07:05] Akira**
Understood.
**[07:08] Todo**
That just leaves you.
**[07:12] Todo**
Choose.
**[07:14] Todo**
Die here, or change the times with us.
**[07:19] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not becoming no stinking samurai.
**[07:23] Ichibanboshi**
My family was killed by
samurai wearing funny masks!
**[07:33] (Flashback) Masked Samurai**
Give your lives...
**[07:36] (Flashback) Masked Samurai**
for the nation.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi'S Dad**
Run, you two!
**[07:48] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Pops!
**[07:48] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi'S Mom**
Honey!
**[07:53] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi'S Mom**
Ichibanboshi...
**[07:57] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi'S Mom**
Live.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Ma! Tsukito!
**[08:08] Ichibanboshi**
You're not changing the times.
**[08:10] Ichibanboshi**
You're just a murderer with
a sword hanging from his hip!
**[08:12] Ichibanboshi**
Don't act so self-important!
**[08:15] Ichibanboshi**
There's nothing I hate more than samurai!
**[08:23] Todo**
Is this the odd mask that
samurai was wearing?
**[08:29] Ichibanboshi**
What? Where did you get that?
**[08:31] Todo**
This mask was worn by the one who
killed the Shinsengumi's leaders.
**[08:36] Todo**
They belong to an organization
known as the Masked Demons.
**[08:39] Todo**
What a coincidence. We want
revenge on the same man.
**[08:43] Todo**
The Shinsengumi is searching for
the demon who wears this mask.
**[08:46] Todo**
Would you like to join the search?
**[08:48] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah.
**[08:49] Todo**
The Shinsengumi will exterminate
the Masked Demons and get revenge.
**[08:54] Todo**
Would you like to get revenge, too?
**[08:56] Ichibanboshi**
Of course. I swear I'll avenge my family.
**[09:01] Todo**
Good.
**[09:04] Todo**
This is Nagasone Okisato Nyudo Kotetsu.
**[09:07] Todo**
It was the late Commander
Kondou Isami's beloved sword.
**[09:10] Todo**
Will you take up this sword
and become Kondou Isami?
**[09:26] Ichibanboshi**
If it'll help me avenge my family,
**[09:28] Ichibanboshi**
I'll do anything.
**[09:31] Ichibanboshi**
I'll become a damn samurai.
**[09:34] Ichibanboshi**
I will be Kondou Isami!

Matsudaira Katamori
**[11:17] Katamori**
How are the substitutes, Todo?
**[11:20] Todo**
They joined the force today.
**[11:22] Katamori**
Public order in Kyoto worsens day by day.
**[11:25] Katamori**
To prevent the lawless ronin from
becoming even more impudent,
**[11:28] Katamori**
the Shinsengumi cannot be disbanded now.
**[11:31] Katamori**
It won't be easy, but I'm asking
you to look after the criminals.
**[11:35] Todo**
Yes, sir. I shall be strict in my guidance.
**[11:42] Ichibanboshi**
This is why things never change.
**[11:46] Sakuya**
Don't play with swords, fool.
**[11:48] Ichibanboshi**
Oh, shut up.
**[11:50] Ichibanboshi**
Huh? Where'd shorty go?
**[11:53] Suzuran**
Todo-chan said he was
off to visit Katamori.
**[11:56] Ichibanboshi**
Who's that?
**[11:57] Sogen**
The Kyoto Military Commissioner
from the Aizu Domain.
**[12:00] Sakuya**
He's our master.
**[12:02] Sakuya**
Don't forget that, fool.
**[12:03] Ichibanboshi**
Why do you have to keep calling me a fool?
**[12:07] Akira**
Enough.
**[12:07] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[12:09] Akira**
Practice begins now.
**[12:12] Akizuki**
Katamori, there's no need to rely
on the leaderless Shinsengumi.
***SIGN*** Aizu Domain Steward
Akizuki Teijiro
**[12:17] Akizuki**
The shogunate has the Mimawarigumi—
**[12:19] Katamori**
Akizuki, the Mimawarigumi is currently
recruiting immediate followers of the shogun.
**[12:23] Katamori**
We've no choice but to let the
Shinsengumi handle things right now.
**[12:28] Katamori**
I hate to say it, but that's the current
state of the declining shogunate.
**[12:32] Katamori**
Todo, I don't expect
much from the criminals.
**[12:36] Katamori**
They just need to maintain enough
influence to scare the forces
**[12:38] Katamori**
attempting to overthrow the shogunate.
**[12:40] Todo**
You are too kind.
**[12:43] Todo**
I swear the Shinsengumi will be restored
and protect public order in Kyoto.
**[12:49] Akira**
Who among you has studied swordsmanship?
**[12:52] Ichibanboshi**
Not me.
**[12:55] Gyataro**
I use this thing.
**[12:57] Bo**
This for me.
**[12:59] Suzuran**
Monks don't kill.
**[13:01] Sogen**
Gunpowder is more effective.
**[13:05] Akira**
I'm worried about our future.
**[13:08] Akira**
Composed of members
from various social classes,
**[13:11] Akira**
the Shinsengumi displays the
word "sincerity" on its flag
***SIGN*** Sincerity
**[13:12] Akira**
and follows the way of the samurai.
**[13:15] Akira**
We can't neglect our sword skills.
**[13:18] Akira**
We'll begin training in pairs.
**[13:20] Akira**
Kondou.
**[13:22] Akira**
Commander Kondou.
**[13:25] Ichibanboshi**
Oh, you mean me.
**[13:26] Ichibanboshi**
All right. Let's do this.
**[13:30] Akira**
No need to hold back.
**[13:32] Akira**
Come and get me.
**[13:37] Ichibanboshi**
I won't be using this thing.
**[13:39] Akira**
You can't practice without it.
**[13:42] Ichibanboshi**
I just need to win, right?
**[13:47] Katamori**
I investigated this mask.
**[13:49] Katamori**
It resembles the ones they use in noh plays.
**[13:52] Todo**
Noh plays?
**[13:53] Akizuki**
If it's a rare article, then we'll
find them quickly.
**[13:57] Katamori**
We'll continue our investigation as well.
**[13:59] Todo**
Thank you. I appreciate it.
**[14:02] Katamori**
Now then, Todo.
**[14:03] Katamori**
I heard there are ronin wandering
around Shimabara and Gion.
**[14:08] Todo**
We'll take of it immediately.
**[14:12] Akira**
Pick up your wooden sword!
**[14:14] Ichibanboshi**
I'll fight my way!
**[14:16] Suzuran**
I'm surprised he can fight like that.
**[14:19] Gyataro**
I'm actually impressed.
**[14:20] Sogen**
Why was he chosen to be Commander Kondou?
**[14:23] Bo**
Huh?
**[14:23] Sakuya**
Dumboshi.
**[14:30] Todo**
Stop!
**[14:41] Todo**
You fool!
**[14:45] Ichibanboshi**
What was that for?
**[14:46] Todo**
Is your head full of
bean paste, you rotten bun?
**[14:50] Todo**
The sword is a samurai's soul.
**[14:52] Todo**
Who throws one on the ground?
**[14:55] Ichibanboshi**
I don't like swords.
**[14:57] Sakuya**
You let the shithead get ahead of himself.
**[14:59] Ichibanboshi**
What?
**[14:59] Sakuya**
You shouldn't have held back against him.
**[15:02] Akira**
But...
**[15:05] Todo**
We won't be fighting opponents
who can be defeated with kicks.
**[15:09] Todo**
Are you even trying to avenge your family?
**[15:11] Ichibanboshi**
Fine, fine. I'll learn
your stupid swordsmanship
**[15:14] Ichibanboshi**
and become the best of this
bunch before you know it.
**[15:18] Todo**
Get ready, everyone.
**[15:19] Todo**
It's your first job.
**[15:34] Todo**
We're heading out to patrol the city
and take care of some business.
**[15:37] Ichibanboshi**
All right. Let's blitz 'em!
**[15:40] Sakuya**
Blitz?
**[15:41] Bo**
Blitz!
**[15:42] Gyataro**
Does blitzing require a target?
**[15:46] Todo**
Of course.
**[15:47] Suzuran**
Akira-chan, have you
experienced a blitz before?
**[15:49] Akira**
No, I've never blitzed anything.
**[15:52] Sogen**
Blitz...
**[15:53] Sogen**
Is that perhaps a German word?
**[15:55] Todo**
Who cares? We've got a job to do!
**[15:58] Todo**
We'll split into three groups focused around
those of you with combat experience.
**[16:02] Todo**
Gyataro, Bo and I will head to Gion.
**[16:05] Both**
Understood.
**[16:06] Todo**
Akira, Sogen, and Suzuran
will go to Karasuma.
**[16:09] All**
Understood.
**[16:09] Todo**
That leaves Ichibanboshi and Sakuya to—
**[16:11] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, why am I going with him?
**[16:11] Sakuya**
Wait, why am I going with him?
**[16:14] Todo**
Sakuya, you're strong.
**[16:16] Todo**
Even with a puppy running
circles around you barking,
**[16:20] Todo**
you'll manage just fine by yourself.
**[16:21] Ichibanboshi**
Who are you calling a puppy?
**[16:23] Todo**
You, you mangy dog!
**[16:24] Ichibanboshi**
Arf!
**[16:26] Todo**
Ichibanboshi isn't the only one.
**[16:28] Todo**
Your sword skills are underdeveloped.
**[16:30] Todo**
Avoid combat as much as possible. Got it?
**[16:33] All**
Understood.
**[16:38] Ronin D**
You scoundrel!
**[16:42] Rashomaru**
So weak.
**[16:43] Rashomaru**
You're a weak one, aren't you?
Shall I give you this sword?
**[16:48] Rashomaru**
Use this sword for the nation.
**[17:00] Bo**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Tempura
**[17:09] Todo**
Idiot!
**[17:10] Shopkeeper**
Huh?
**[17:11] Todo**
That's not something a samurai should do.
**[17:13] Bo**
Oh...
**[17:16] Todo**
Forgive me.
**[17:17] Shopkeeper**
It's fine.
**[17:20] Gyataro**
You got in trouble.
**[17:22] Bo**
Aw...
**[17:22] Todo**
Gyataro, we're being paid by the shogunate.
**[17:26] Todo**
You don't need to do that.
**[17:28] Gyataro**
Do what?
**[17:31] Todo**
Put it back. You're not a criminal anymore.
**[17:38] Gyataro**
Hey, isn't this your wallet?
**[17:41] Townsfolk Man**
Oh, thanks.
**[17:48] Suzuran**
You were awesome, Akira-chan.
**[17:51] Suzuran**
If I'm going to die anyway, I'd like
to be killed by a beauty like you.
**[17:56] Akira**
I thought you were a former monk.
**[17:58] Akira**
Should you be hitting on women?
**[18:00] Suzuran**
"I saw a monk buy a hairpin for a girl."
**[18:06] Suzuran**
It's like the song.
**[18:09] Akira**
Good grief.
**[18:12] Sogen**
Look over there.
**[18:15] Akira**
Todo.
**[18:16] Todo**
Someone was testing a new sword.
**[18:17] Gyataro**
The wound's not deep, but the blood...
**[18:21] Oito**
Pops...
**[18:23] Suzuran**
Now this is an odd wound.
**[18:26] Shigekichi**
I'm not gonna make it.
**[18:28] Sogen**
I'll treat you.
**[18:30] Sogen**
You have a 93.5% chance of surviving.
**[18:34] Sogen**
Or would you rather be dissected?
**[18:43] Suzuran**
Don't worry. If you die,
we've got a monk right here.
**[18:48] Todo**
You two handle this.
**[18:50] Todo**
We're going after the lawless ronin.
**[18:51] Both**
Got it.
**[18:52] Ichibanboshi**
I'll surpass your sword skills before
you know it and become number one.
**[18:57] Sakuya**
You're already number one
when it comes to stupidity.
**[18:59] Ichibanboshi**
Why, you...
**[19:00] Townsfolk Man**
Please help!
**[19:07] Sakuya**
That sword...
**[19:08] Ichibanboshi**
It was me. I found them first.
**[19:11] Sakuya**
Hey.
**[19:12] Ronin D**
Give your life for the nation.
**[19:16] Ichibanboshi**
Blitzed ya!
**[19:24] Ichibanboshi**
Found you, you masked bastard.
**[19:30] Ichibanboshi**
Ow!
**[19:31] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya, don't get in my way.
**[19:34] Sakuya**
Silence.
**[19:34] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[19:39] Sakuya**
Number 809.
**[19:57] Ichibanboshi**
Damn it.
**[19:58] Sakuya**
What kind of moron suddenly
charges at the enemy?
**[20:00] Ichibanboshi**
I couldn't help it. My body moved on its own.
**[20:04] Sakuya**
You must learn your
opponents' abilities first.
**[20:06] Sakuya**
Draw your sword after.
**[20:08] Ichibanboshi**
Someone could've been killed if we waited.
**[20:11] Ichibanboshi**
What are you even wearing that sword for?
**[20:14] Sakuya**
To kill people.
**[20:16] Ichibanboshi**
Well, not me.
**[20:17] Ichibanboshi**
I wear one to protect people.
**[20:20] Ichibanboshi**
Hold up!
**[20:20] Sakuya**
Hey!
**[20:21] Sakuya**
We should follow orders and return to—
**[20:23] Sakuya**
Damn it, Dumboshi.
**[20:28] Sakuya**
Todo.
**[20:29] Todo**
Sakuya, what is it?
**[20:32] Sakuya**
A lawless samurai showed up in Shimabara.
**[20:34] Sakuya**
He was wearing one of those
masks and wielding an odd sword.
**[20:37] Akira**
Where's Ichibanboshi?
**[20:38] Sakuya**
He ignored orders and followed him alone.
**[20:41] Todo**
That absolute idiot!
**[20:43] Todo**
That dung beetle can't even
*do* anything on his own!
**[20:49] Ichibanboshi**
You're not getting away from me.
**[20:52] Townsfolk Man**
Help!
**[20:54] Ichibanboshi**
Don't.
**[20:57] Ichibanboshi**
The world doesn't need more guys like me.
**[21:04] Ichibanboshi**
Don't...
**[21:17] Ichibanboshi**
Kotetsu?
**[21:21] Todo**
That light...
**[21:40] Ichibanboshi**
*Long before I was born,*
**[21:42] Ichibanboshi**
* someone from somewhere turned*
* this world into absolute shit.*
**[21:48] Townsfolk Mother**
Who are you?
**[21:50] Ichibanboshi**
Huh? Who, me?
**[21:52] Ichibanboshi**
I...
**[21:55] Ichibanboshi**
I serve the Kyoto Military Commissioner
as Shinsengumi Commander Kondou Isami.
**[22:01] Ichibanboshi**
I mean, I'm a newbie who just became him.
**[22:05] Ichibanboshi**
* And this shit world that smells like*
* shit to this day is beginning to change.*

**[02:04] Akira**
Ichibanboshi, that sword...
**[02:07] Ichibanboshi**
Oh, yeah. It started glowing,
and I felt power welling up inside me.
**[02:13] Todo**
Could it be? But that's not...
**[02:15] Suzuran**
Todo-chan, what's the matter?
**[02:17] Todo**
It's possible the real Commander
Kondo Isami granted you his strength.
**[02:24] Todo**
It happened on August 18th,
the day the government changed.
***SIGN*** Imperial Palace Kenrei Gate
**[02:29] Soldier A**
Open the gate!
**[02:30] (Flashback) Soldier B**
Throw that Choshu
scoundrel out of the palace!
**[02:39] (Flashback) Soldier**
What is this?
**[02:41] (Flashback) Soldier**
How strange.
**[02:43] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
I've been waiting for you.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
I have a request for you.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Todo**
Commander!
**[02:58] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
How unfortunate.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Despite embodying "sincerity,"
you've misjudged the situation.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Perhaps this was written in the stars.
**[03:08] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Now give your life for the nation!
**[03:14] (Flashback) Todo**
We've already given our lives to Japan!
**[03:29] Sakuya**
Does Hijikata Toshizo's soul
reside within this as well?
**[03:32] Todo**
I don't know.
**[03:34] Todo**
Perhaps it's just what I'm hoping
for as the sole survivor.
**[03:39] Ichibanboshi**
The guy who killed the real Kondo
is the guy who wronged me, right?
**[03:42] Todo**
That's right. He's the leader
of the Masked Demons.
**[03:46] Todo**
The Shinsengumi will track him down.
**[03:51] Tsuchimikado**
As the Mibu Roshigumi takes
up the Shinsengumi name,
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi
**[03:58] Tsuchimikado**
it humbly prays for
blessings and good fortune
***SIGN*** Head of the Tsuchimikado Family Onmyodo
Tsuchimikado Haruo
**[04:04] Tsuchimikado**
and respectfully petitions
for tranquility and peace.
**[04:15] Todo**
Tsuchimikado-sama...
**[04:18] Todo**
Thank you for conducting the naming ceremony.
**[04:21] Tsuchimikado**
May you devote yourselves to not
disgracing the Shinsengumi name.
**[04:25] Todo**
Yes, sir.
**[04:26] Todo**
"Newly selected group" has turned
out to be an ironic name.
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi
**[04:27] Ichibanboshi**
Wow, look at this.
**[04:29] Sakuya**
Careful you don't soil that, Dumboshi.
**[04:31] Tsuchimikado**
Are they...?
**[04:33] Todo**
Yes, sir. As you already know,
they are the substitutes.
**[04:38] Tsuchimikado**
That Kondo Isami doesn't seem
like much of a strategist.
**[04:42] Sakuya**
You can read, can't you?
**[04:43] Todo**
He's a bit of an idiot. I've been
having some trouble with him.
**[04:44] Ichibanboshi**
Shut up. I can read "Shinsengumi," at least.
**[04:46] Tsuchimikado**
I'm not concerned.
**[04:48] Sakuya**
I'm surprised.
**[04:49] Tsuchimikado**
He's someone who attracts
people to him and unites them.
**[04:49] Ichibanboshi**
Do you have to insult
me at every opportunity?
**[04:52] Sakuya**
Stop shouting, Dumboshi.
**[04:52] Tsuchimikado**
He's a lot like Kondo Isami.
**[04:53] Ichibanboshi**
Eh?
**[04:55] Todo**
You must be joking.
**[04:57] Tsuchimikado**
Straightforward people like him
are the most terrifying of all.
**[05:01] Ichibanboshi**
What should we do with this?
**[05:04] Suzuran**
Hang it up at the base?
**[05:05] Gyataro**
Shouldn't we give it back?
**[05:07] Tsuchimikado**
Hijikata Toshizo's substitute
seems to have noticed us.
**[05:08] Bo**
I could write that.
**[05:10] Sogen**
Then let's return this one and
have Bo-dono write us a new one.
**[05:13] Todo**
How dare he look at you like that.
**[05:16] Todo**
I'll be sure to give him an earful later.
**[05:19] Tsuchimikado**
It's fine.
**[05:21] Tsuchimikado**
He's a man like a sharpened blade.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Sakuya Dad**
Bitch!
**[05:35] (Flashback) Sakuya**
Mother, why do you tolerate
the way that man treats you?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Sakuya Mom**
Sakuya, don't call him "that man."
**[05:40] (Flashback) Sakuya Mom**
He's your father.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Sakuya**
Why?
**[05:53] Todo**
Sakuya, wake the others.
**[05:55] Todo**
We're going to escort Sakuma Shozan.
**[05:57] Sakuya**
Shozan?
**[05:59] Todo**
It's our first job as the Shinsengumi.
***SIGN*** Konkai Komyo-ji Head Temple
**[06:04] Katamori**
There is no greater intellectual
in Japan than Shozan-sensei.
**[06:10] Ichibanboshi**
He's the best, huh?
**[06:11] Akizuki**
No careless mistakes.
**[06:12] Todo**
Yes, sir.
**[06:14] Katamori**
He's arrived.
**[06:22] Todo**
We've been waiting for you,
Sakuma Shozan-dono.
***SIGN*** Matsushiro Domain Retainer
Sakuma Shozan
**[06:26] Shozan**
How's it hangin'?
**[06:29] Ichibanboshi**
Hangin'?
**[06:32] Shozan**
So this is my escort?
**[06:34] Shozan**
They're a sorry-looking bunch, aren't they?
**[06:38] Todo**
They're an inexperienced lot. Forgive them.
**[06:42] Katamori**
I believe Shozan-sensei knows a
bit about the art of war as well.
**[06:45] Shozan**
Not just a bit. No one's
more knowledgeable than I.
**[06:49] Katamori**
Then I hope you'll teach them the basics.
**[06:51] Shozan**
Katamori, I requested an escort to
the naval training center, not students.
**[07:00] Shozan**
We've met before, haven't we?
**[07:04] Todo**
Perhaps you've mistaken him for someone else?
**[07:06] Shozan**
Don't underestimate my memory.
**[07:08] Shozan**
He must be the same man.
**[07:11] Sakuya**
I am Shinsengumi Vice-Commander
Hijikata Toshizo.
**[07:16] Katamori**
Shozan-sensei has a wide circle of friends.
**[07:19] Shozan**
I'm the pearl of the Matsushiro Domain.
Everyone wants to meet me.
**[07:25] Shozan**
No matter. Let us depart.
**[07:27] Shozan**
Lead my horse!
**[07:36] Gyotaro**
Sensei, those things you're
wearing are cool as hell.
**[07:39] Bo**
Cool as hell.
**[07:40] Shozan**
Aren't they?
**[07:42] Shozan**
They're called sunglasses.
**[07:44] Shozan**
They protect my eyes from the sunlight.
**[07:46] Shozan**
I can even have staring
contests with the sun.
**[07:48] Both**
Wow!
**[07:50] Shozan**
I invented them.
**[07:53] Gyataro**
You're an inventor, too?
**[07:55] Bo**
Wowee.
**[07:56] Shozan**
You're impressed, are you? Keep it up.
**[07:56] Suzuran**
He's a fun man.
**[07:58] Shozan**
You could compliment me for
three days and three nights,
**[07:58] Sogen**
Making glasses using colored glass
is certainly a brilliant idea.
**[07:59] Shozan**
and it still wouldn't be enough for me.
**[08:02] Shozan**
Hey, tattooed man.
**[08:04] Gyataro**
Huh?
**[08:04] Shozan**
You can have these.
**[08:07] Gyataro**
You sure?
**[08:11] Ichibanboshi**
I want them! Gimme!
**[08:13] Gyataro**
He gave them to me.
**[08:15] Ichibanboshi**
That's not fair! I saw them first!
**[08:18] Ichibanboshi**
Give me half!
**[08:19] Gyataro**
What even is half of a pair of glasses?
**[08:21] Todo**
Idiots, we're on an escort mission!
**[08:25] Both**
Yes, sir...
**[08:28] Akira**
Todo, stop the horse.
**[08:30] Todo**
What's the matter?
**[08:32] Ichibanboshi**
What's gotten into you?
**[08:35] Sakuya**
They're coming.
**[08:37] Ronin A**
Traitors!
**[08:38] Ronin B**
Prepare yourselves!
**[08:39] Gyataro**
Do you realize the man you're attacking
is the great Sakuma Shozan-sensei?
**[08:45] Ronin C**
Of course, country-openers!
**[08:48] Ronin D**
Moving the emperor to Hikone is absurd!
**[08:51] Ronin B**
Now accept your punishment!
**[08:53] Todo**
Draw your weapons!
**[08:54] Ichibanboshi**
All right. Glow for me, Kotetsu!
**[08:59] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[09:02] Gyataro**
Come on! I'll blow a hole through
your skulls and suck out your—
**[09:06] Gyataro**
Watch it!
**[09:08] Bo**
Sorry.
**[09:09] Sakuya**
Number 819.
**[09:12] Sakuya**
Number 820.
**[09:15] Shozan**
You don't fight like a samurai.
**[09:20] Suzuran**
Whoops.
**[09:22] Suzuran**
Yikes.
**[09:23] Todo**
What are you doing with a dead man's sword?
**[09:28] Ronin D**
Divine retribution!
**[09:30] Suzuran**
Wait, I'm not ready!
**[09:31] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono!
**[09:36] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, are you sure that was
the right amount of gunpowder?
**[09:38] Sogen**
Perhaps I used too much.
This one should be fine.
**[09:44] Ronin B**
My eyes!
**[09:46] Gyataro**
One down.
**[09:50] Sakuya**
Number 822.
**[09:53] Sakuya**
I took too long.
**[09:54] Ichibanboshi**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[09:56] Sakuya**
You're in the way, Dumboshi.
**[09:57] Ichibanboshi**
It's your fault for standing there.
**[10:00] Sakuya**
You're the one who entered my range.
**[10:00] Shozan**
Katamori, these men aren't even ready
to learn the basics of warfare.
**[10:01] Sogen**
You did it again, huh?
**[10:01] Ichibanboshi**
Huh? You're the one who got in my way.
**[10:04] Bo**
Best buds.
**[10:04] Sakuya**
Shut up, Dumboshi.
**[10:05] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[10:07] Shozan**
Good grief.
**[10:08] Shozan**
Individually, you're skilled, but you're
completely out of sync with each other.
**[10:13] Todo**
I have no excuse.
**[10:15] Ichibanboshi**
Seriously? Who does he
think just saved his ass?
**[10:18] Shozan**
Commander!
**[10:19] Ichibanboshi**
Y-Yeah?
**[10:20] Shozan**
Put up a sign!
**[10:21] Ichibanboshi**
Put up a sign, boys!
**[10:23] Ichibanboshi**
Uh, what sign?
**[10:25] Gyataro**
You're issuing orders
when *you* don't even know?
**[10:27] Shozan**
We don't have time to properly
dispose of their bodies.
**[10:31] Shozan**
Unless we leave a sign
explaining why we killed them,
**[10:34] Shozan**
people will think the Shinsengumi
are a group of murderers.
**[10:38] Ichibanboshi**
Oh, right.
**[10:45] Gyataro**
Finally, that brush is good for something.
***SIGN*** Notice

**[10:58] Gyataro**
Not bad.
**[10:59] Ichibanboshi**
What's it say?

Gotta poo?
**[11:23] Shozan**
I remember now!
**[11:27] Shozan**
You, boy! You're a hired killer!
**[11:30] Shozan**
You once tried to kill me!
**[11:34] Sogen**
A hired killer?
**[11:35] Suzuran**
A member of an assassin's guild.
They're kinda like ninjas.
**[11:39] Akira**
Is that true?
**[11:40] Sakuya**
Yes.
**[11:42] Shozan**
I knew it.
**[11:44] Todo**
Shozan-sensei, I can explain.
**[11:46] Sakuya**
I was a condemned criminal
recruited by the Shinsengumi.
**[11:51] Sakuya**
If it's your wish that I
kill myself, then I shall.
**[11:52] Ichibanboshi**
Shozan-sensei.
**[11:55] Ichibanboshi**
This guy is one rotten dude.
**[11:57] Shozan**
I'm sure he is.
**[11:58] Ichibanboshi**
Not only is he unpleasant, but it's also
impossible to tell what he's thinking.
**[12:02] Ichibanboshi**
He's the worst person I know.
**[12:05] Todo**
What are you...?
**[12:07] Ichibanboshi**
But he's an important member of our group.
**[12:14] Ichibanboshi**
He's not the only one.
**[12:15] Ichibanboshi**
We're all damaged goods with dark pasts.
**[12:20] Ichibanboshi**
I know I'm asking for a lot, but out
of respect for Commander Kondo Isami,
**[12:26] Ichibanboshi**
could you let bygones be bygones?
**[12:30] Ichibanboshi**
Please, sir. I'm begging you.
**[12:37] Shozan**
You fool!
**[12:39] Shozan**
Did you think the great Shozan was a
small-minded man who cares about the past?
**[12:44] Shozan**
Todo!
**[12:45] Todo**
Yes, sir.
**[12:45] Shozan**
I win. I told you not to
underestimate my memory.
**[12:51] Todo**
Uh, yes, sir.
**[12:52] Shozan**
I feel better now.
**[12:54] Shozan**
Come on, get the horse moving.
**[12:56] Gyataro**
You got it.
***SIGN*** Kobe Port Naval Training Center
**[13:10] Shozan**
Those are American-made steamships.
**[13:14] Bo**
Wow!
**[13:16] Gyataro**
So black! So big!
**[13:18] Suzuran**
They're like floating castles.
**[13:21] Sogen**
Japan is rather far behind,
technologically speaking.
**[13:26] Ichibanboshi**
I wanna ride one.
**[13:28] Shozan**
It's starting.
**[13:36] Ichibanboshi**
What was that?
**[13:40] Ichibanboshi**
So cool!
**[13:42] Shozan**
Anti-foreign sentiment is strong these days,
**[13:46] Shozan**
but nothing good would come from
fighting Western powers right now.
**[13:50] Sakuya**
Japan will fall if we don't fight.
**[13:52] Shozan**
They don't have the slightest
desire to destroy Japan.
**[13:57] Akira**
Then what do they want?
**[13:58] Shozan**
Money. Moolah.
**[14:00] Shozan**
Unequal trades and reparations.
**[14:03] Shozan**
They'll squeeze everything
they can out of us.
**[14:06] Shozan**
They've got good heads on their shoulders.
**[14:09] Todo**
Shozan-sensei, what do you believe Japan
should do to contend with foreign nations?
**[14:15] Shozan**
There's only one way.
**[14:16] Shozan**
Force rival domains to form allegiances
**[14:20] Shozan**
and integrate the shogunate
and imperial court.
**[14:24] Ichibanboshi**
That's too complicated for me to understand.
**[14:27] Shozan**
It's simple. Japan must be united as one.
**[14:33] Ichibanboshi**
A united Japan...
**[14:43] Suzuran**
Akira-chan, you look down.
**[14:46] Akira**
I know. I've devoted my life to the blade,
**[14:50] Akira**
but those cannons made me realize
time is marching forward.
**[14:54] Akira**
The age of swords is ending.
**[14:56] Gyataro**
You gonna drop your sword for a gun?
**[14:59] Bo**
Maybe it's the age of brushes.
**[15:02] Akira**
I'll think about it.
**[15:04] Shozan**
Without a doubt, cannons are
stronger than swords.
**[15:07] Shozan**
But what's more important than raw strength
is how you use that strength.
**[15:12] Akira**
You're absolutely correct.
**[15:14] Shozan**
What about you, surly?
Will you abandon the sword?
**[15:17] Sakuya**
The only thing I can do is cut people down,
so I won't be abandoning the blade.
**[15:21] Sakuya**
All I need is a reason to kill.
**[15:25] Shozan**
You were born to kill
and have no other goals.
**[15:29] Shozan**
It's like you're a sword.
**[15:31] Shozan**
What about you, rooster head?
Will you abandon the sword?
**[15:35] Ichibanboshi**
I hate swords, but I won't give mine up.
**[15:39] Ichibanboshi**
I need it to get stronger.
**[15:40] Shozan**
Oh? What will you do once you're stronger?
**[15:43] Ichibanboshi**
Avenge my family.
**[15:44] Shozan**
What about after that?
**[15:47] Ichibanboshi**
After that? After that, I'll...
**[15:51] Ichibanboshi**
I'll change the world.
**[15:53] Ichibanboshi**
I'll change this shitty world someone made.
**[16:01] Shozan**
How delightful.
**[16:03] Ichibanboshi**
What? I'm being serious over here.
**[16:06] Shozan**
You're an unusual man.
**[16:08] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah?
**[16:09] Shozan**
Normally people try to stay in their lane.
**[16:13] Shozan**
But you're saying you'll
destroy the lanes themselves.
**[16:17] Shozan**
Will you become a revolutionary,
or just another nuisance?
**[16:21] Sakuya**
He's already a nuisance.
**[16:23] Ichibanboshi**
What was that?
**[16:25] Shozan**
There's someone I want you to meet.
**[16:28] Shozan**
His name is Sakamoto Ryoma.
**[16:30] Ichibanboshi**
Ryoma? That's a weird name.
**[16:33] Shozan**
Ryoma's stirring up this cesspool of a world.
**[16:39] Shozan**
I'm sure you and he will get along.
**[16:46] Shozan**
I'm tired!
**[16:47] Shozan**
So tired!
**[16:48] Todo**
Sir, you can't sleep here.
**[16:50] Shozan**
I was wobbling on the
back of a horse all day!
**[16:52] Shozan**
Of course I'm tired!
**[16:55] Todo**
I know, sir, but...
**[16:59] Ichibanboshi**
Todo, grab the other side.
**[17:01] Todo**
All right.
**[17:08] Suzuran**
Aw, man. Kijinmaru Kunishige
would be "swordly" disappointed.
**[17:14] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, would you
lend me that broken sword?
**[17:19] Suzuran**
What? I thought doctors
fixed people, not swords.
**[17:24] Sogen**
I'm not going to fix it.
**[17:25] Sogen**
I thought I could use it
to make a trick weapon.
**[17:29] Suzuran**
Well, this thing's trash anyway.
You're welcome to do whatever you want with it.
**[17:34] Bo**
Yummy, yummy!
**[17:35] Gyataro**
Come on, girl. Pour me some sake, will you?
**[17:38] Gyataro**
You're no fun.
**[17:40] Bo**
Yummy.

**[17:59] Akira**
They're getting too big
to compress with cloth.
**[18:21] Akira**
Ichibanboshi...
**[18:26] Akira**
You're hard at work.
**[18:28] Ichibanboshi**
You caught me.
**[18:30] Akira**
Recently you've been working
hard at practice, too.
**[18:32] Ichibanboshi**
Well, yeah.
**[18:36] Akira**
You're interested in honing your sword
skills even after seeing those cannons?
**[18:41] Ichibanboshi**
Of course I am.
**[18:44] Akira**
But you don't like swords.
**[18:46] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah. Every time I see a sword,
I remember my old self.
**[18:51] Ichibanboshi**
The kid who couldn't save
Pops, Ma, or Tsukito.
**[18:56] Ichibanboshi**
The kid whose legs were
shaking too much to move.
**[19:01] Akira**
Don't blame yourself. You were a child.
**[19:05] Ichibanboshi**
I'll become stronger.
**[19:10] Ichibanboshi**
I'll become the strongest
member of the Shinsengumi.
**[19:15] Akira**
Sounds promising.
**[19:46] Bo**
Yummy...
**[19:51] Ichibanboshi**
Ow! Huh?
**[19:55] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya?
**[20:07] Kawakami**
Sakuya, why haven't you killed Sakuma Shozan?
**[20:11] Kawakami**
Why do you defy your orders?
**[20:14] Sakuya**
I was betrayed by my colleagues
who failed to kill Shozan
**[20:18] Sakuya**
and was sold off as a criminal.
**[20:21] Kawakami**
Sakuya, return to the fold.
Follow the rules of the hired killers.
**[20:25] Sakuya**
I died once and was reborn
as Hijikata Toshizo.
**[20:30] Sakuya**
I follow the rules of the Shinsengumi now.
**[20:32] Kawakmi**
We do not forgive traitors.
**[20:35] Sakuya**
I won't allow you to kill Sakuma Shozan.
**[20:44] Kawakami**
Number 1,728.
**[20:46] Sakuya**
Number 824.
**[20:49] Sakuya**
Kawakami Gensai, do you see the world
differently after killing over a thousand men?
**[20:53] Kawakami**
You don't need to know that.
**[20:56] Kawakami**
After all, you'll be dead before
this sand finishes falling.
**[21:10] Kawakami**
Strong as ever, Sakuya.
**[21:12] Sakuya**
"Don't hesitate." It's what you taught me.
**[21:18] Kawakami**
Now die.
**[21:21] Sakuya**
That sword again?
**[21:32] Sakuya**
What?
**[21:39] Sakuya**
You're a monster. But I simply
need to remove your entire arm.
**[21:42] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya!
**[21:45] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, who's that guy?
**[21:48] Sakuya**
Dumboshi, stay back.
**[21:50] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not the one who wanted to come here.
**[21:52] Ichibanboshi**
It was Kotetsu.
**[21:55] Kawakami**
One of your allies?
**[21:58] Sakuya**
No, just an interruption.
**[21:59] Kawakami**
Sakuya, you cannot escape.
**[22:02] Kawakami**
Not from us, or from the
guilt of killing your father.
**[22:09] Ichibanboshi**
What? You killed your dad?

my opponent before the sand runs out.

**[00:15] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, who's that guy?
**[00:17] Sakuya**
Dumboshi, stay back.
**[00:19] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not the one who wanted to come here.
**[00:21] Ichibanboshi**
It was Kotetsu.
**[00:23] Kawakami**
Sakuya, you cannot escape.
**[00:26] Kawakami**
Not from us, or from the
guilt of killing your father.
**[00:33] Ichibanboshi**
What? You killed your dad?
**[00:39] Kawakami**
I'll start by eliminating this pest.
**[00:44] Ichibanboshi**
Whoa!
**[00:52] Kawakami**
That sword is too good for
one as inexperienced as you.
**[00:55] Kawakami**
You can lament your mistake
in the underworld.
**[00:58] Sakuya**
Kawakami!
**[01:02] Kawakami**
Sakuya, you are one who
lives in the darkness.
**[01:08] Kawakami**
The light will never be yours.
**[01:21] Sakuya**
That took as long as I expected.
**[01:25] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, hold on a second.
**[01:27] Sakuya**
No need to thank me.
**[01:28] Ichibanboshi**
Is what he said earlier true?
**[01:32] Sakuya**
I've counted all the people
I've killed until now.
**[01:37] Sakuya**
And the first one was my father.

**[03:11] All**
One, two! One, two!
**[03:19] All**
One, two! One, two!
**[03:20] Akira**
Put your hips into it!
**[03:22] Akira**
Your opponents will have no
trouble parrying those blows!
**[03:25] Gyataro**
Oh, shut up!
**[03:28] Gyataro**
Watch it!
***SIGN*** Sincerity
**[03:32] Todo**
Katamori, thank you for coming.
**[03:36] Katamori**
I had some business in the area.
**[03:39] Todo**
I've heard those who wish to overthrow
the shogunate are wandering about.
**[03:43] Todo**
Please be careful.
**[03:44] Katamori**
Do you recognize the name Katsura Kogoro?
**[03:48] Todo**
He's from the Choshu Domain, isn't he?
**[03:50] Katamori**
Indeed. The source is unreliable, but I've
heard Katsura is up to no good.
**[03:56] Todo**
The Shinsengumi shall
look into it immediately.
**[04:00] Katamori**
They seem like a lively bunch.
**[04:02] Todo**
What? You saw the substitutes?
**[04:05] Katamori**
Just now, on my way here.
**[04:07] Katamori**
They're rather interesting, aren't they?
**[04:09] Todo**
Thank you, sir.
**[04:11] Suzuran**
Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
**[04:14] Sogen**
The aerodynamics of a wooden sword require
different calculations from a real sword.
**[04:21] Gyataro**
Hey, Sogen.
**[04:23] Gyataro**
Could you attach my sword to the end of
this thing and turn it into a bayonet?
**[04:27] Sogen**
That would be a simple modification to make.
**[04:30] Bo**
Wow!
**[04:32] Gyataro**
For real? Could you take care
of that real quick later?
**[04:35] Suzuran**
Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
**[04:41] Akira**
Katsu!
**[04:43] Akira**
This always happens the
second I stop watching.
**[04:56] Todo**
The Shinsengumi is going
after Katsura Kogoro.
**[04:59] Todo**
While out on patrol, we'll investigate the
area around the Choshu Domain's mansion.
**[05:04] Todo**
Sakuya and Ichibanboshi will—
**[05:06] Ichibanboshi**
Hold on.
**[05:07] Todo**
What is it?
**[05:08] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not doing anything with this guy.
**[05:10] Todo**
You're still saying that?
**[05:12] Todo**
A samurai always obeys the orders of
his superior. "No" is not an option.
**[05:16] Ichibanboshi**
Well, I can't help what I don't like.
**[05:18] Ichibanboshi**
I don't trust this guy.
***SIGN*** Sincerity
**[05:19] Todo**
If you don't stop speaking nonsense,
I'll cut off your head.
**[05:23] Ichibanboshi**
Fine by me. Cut if off, then.
**[05:27] Todo**
More nonsense.
**[05:28] Suzuran**
What? We need a priest already?
**[05:31] Sogen**
Though I'm looking forward to dissecting
Ichibanboshi-dono's corpse,
**[05:34] Sogen**
dealing with the aftermath
will be mildly troublesome.
**[05:37] Akira**
Sogen's right.
**[05:39] Akira**
The other members of the Shinsengumi
already know Ichibanboshi.
**[05:43] Akira**
If you want to bring in a new Kondo Isami,
**[05:46] Akira**
you'll have to silence the
other members permanently.
**[05:49] Bo**
You mean kill them?
**[05:51] Gyataro**
Give me a break. Some of
them actually look up to us.
**[05:56] Bo**
Yeah.
**[05:59] Todo**
I'm giving you a different job.
**[06:01] Ichibanboshi**
Without Sakuya, right?
**[06:03] Todo**
That's right.
**[06:04] Ichibanboshi**
Then you got it.
**[06:09] Todo**
If anything happens, notify me immediately.
**[06:11] All**
Yes, sir.
***SIGN*** Yoshidaya
**[06:25] (Flashback) Akira**
Please don't.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Akira**
No! Someone help!
**[06:59] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, Akira. How do I look?
**[07:02] Ichibanboshi**
Huh? What?
**[07:05] Ichibanboshi**
Akira, seriously?
**[07:07] Akira**
What? There's nothing unusual
about a young geisha.
**[07:11] Ichibanboshi**
You're pretty as hell.
**[07:14] Ichibanboshi**
You should dress like that all the time.
**[07:16] Akira**
This is just the disguise I'm wearing
to infiltrate enemy territory.
**[07:20] Ichibanboshi**
Aw, man. What a waste.
**[07:24] Akira**
If you look at me like that on
a regular basis, I'll kill you.
**[07:27] Ichibanboshi**
Gotcha.
**[07:32] Todo**
You check out that area.
**[07:34] Soldier A**
Yes, sir.
**[07:36] Todo**
You go that way.
**[07:38] Soldier B**
Yes, sir.
**[07:41] Todo**
Law enforcement! Open up!
**[07:42] Gyataro**
Let's blitz 'em.
**[07:45] Maid A**
You're good at that.
**[07:47] Ichibanboshi**
I used to cook for my brother all the time.
**[07:50] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito wouldn't eat them unless
I chopped them up real small.
**[07:53] Servant B**
Ichibanboshi!
**[07:55] Ichibanboshi**
Coming!
**[07:57] Maid**
Ichibanboshi!
**[07:58] Ichibanboshi**
On my way!
**[08:00] Servant**
Ichibanboshi!
**[08:02] Ichibanboshi**
Be right there!
**[08:06] Ichibanboshi**
This is tougher than sword practice.
**[08:09] Akira**
Where's Katsura Kogoro?
**[08:11] Ichibanboshi**
He's not here. Is he really coming?
**[08:14] Akira**
That's what we came here to find out.
**[08:16] Akira**
Have you gathered any information?
**[08:18] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, actually...
**[08:20] Ichibanboshi**
One of the maid's dad hurt his arm,
**[08:23] Ichibanboshi**
so he's having his third son give him
a hand with his plastering business.
**[08:25] Akira**
Hold on.
**[08:27] Akira**
You don't even understand what
it means to gather information?
**[08:30] Ichibanboshi**
Don't underestimate me.
**[08:32] Ichibanboshi**
I've got some juicy information, too.
**[08:34] Akira**
Oh?
**[08:35] Ichibanboshi**
Tatsu the jester's wife left him after
he racked up a bunch of gambling debt.
**[08:38] Ichibanboshi**
Just the other day, he came
crying to his landlord and—
**[08:41] Akira**
You should be gathering information
about the Choshu Domain!
**[08:43] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, keep your voice down.
**[08:47] Todo**
Let me know if you notice
anything suspicious.
**[08:49] Merchant**
Yes, sir. Keep up the good work.
**[08:54] Todo**
Where are the others?
**[08:56] Sakuya**
They left.
**[08:57] Todo**
To go where?
**[08:58] Sakuya**
Wherever they pleased.
**[09:00] Todo**
They did what? Why didn't you stop them?
**[09:03] Bo**
We'll get in trouble if we wander off.
**[09:07] Gyataro**
Then you can head back by yourself.
**[09:20] Urchin A**
Hey, hey, hey.
**[09:21] Gyataro**
Why, you little...
**[09:28] Gyataro**
It's good to see you again.
**[09:30] Urchin A**
It's been forever.
**[09:32] Urchin A**
What have you been up to, brother?
**[09:34] Gyataro**
I've been through a lot. These days
I'm a samurai for the Shinsengumi.
**[09:39] Urchin A**
Seriously? You're a samurai?
**[09:44] Sogen**
Operating as a group is ineffective
for gathering information.
**[09:48] Suzuran**
You're not wrong.
**[09:50] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, why are you following me?
**[09:54] Suzuran**
I wonder why. I'm just doing
whatever I feel like doing.
**[09:58] Older Woman**
My, what a handsome man.
**[10:01] Suzuran**
Miss, wanna grab a drink?
**[10:03] Older Woman**
Sounds good to me. I'd love to be treated.
**[10:07] Older Woman**
What?
**[10:08] Sogen**
Hair loss, splotchy skin, and nasal speech.
**[10:11] Sogen**
There's a 79.2% chance you have syphilis.
**[10:15] Sogen**
If you don't get it treated, you'll die.
**[10:17] Old Woman**
Where did that come from, you creep?
**[10:21] Suzuran**
You'd better see a doctor.
**[10:24] Suzuran**
Otherwise you'll need my services.
**[10:27] Sogen**
She might come back.
**[10:29] Suzuran**
Huh?
**[10:31] Suzuran**
Even though she just walked off
with a sour look on her face?
**[10:35] Suzuran**
Hey, you're right.
**[10:37] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, how'd you know?
**[10:41] Sogen**
It's simple.
**[10:43] Geisha A**
During the daytime?
**[10:45] Geisha B**
Yeah.
**[10:47] Fake Katsura**
Who does that traitor think he is?
**[10:50] Fake Katsura**
I should be serving the emperor!
**[10:56] Fake Katsura**
Who's there?
**[10:57] Fake Katsura**
You were eavesdropping, weren't you?
**[11:01] Fake Katsura**
Are you spying on me, Katsura Kogoro?
**[11:03] Soldier C**
What's going on?
**[11:04] Soldier D**
It's a girl.
**[11:07] Akira**
I, um...
**[11:10] Ikuchiyo**
You're late. You need to do a better
job remembering where the room is.
**[11:15] Ikuchiyo**
Aren't I always telling you that?
**[11:17] Akira**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[11:19] Fake Katsura**
Ikuchiyo, is she with you?
**[11:22] Ikuchiyo**
Indeed she is, Katsura-han.
**[11:24] Ikuchiyo**
I've been looking after her
since she was an apprentice.
**[11:27] Ikuchiyo**
Her name is Ikumatsu. She's new.
**[11:29] Ikuchiyo**
Be kind to her.
**[11:31] Fake Katsura**
Fine. It's not as though
women can do anything, anyway.
**[11:36] Ikuchiyo**
Go on, Ikumatsu. Pour Katsura-han a drink.
**[11:40] Akira**
Yes, ma'am.
**[11:42] Fake Katsura**
Girl, you should be grateful for the
opportunity to pour drinks for me.
**[11:50] Todo**
They all lack self-awareness as samurai.
**[11:53] Todo**
I'll have to hammer it into them later.
**[11:57] Todo**
Hey, where are you going?
**[11:59] Todo**
I can't believe you're running
off on your own, too.
**[12:04] Man**
What's gotten into you?
**[12:06] Todo**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[12:08] Sakuya**
He was watching us from the shadows.
**[12:10] Man**
We just happened to make eye
contact! I wasn't doing anything!
**[12:14] Sakuya**
I'll tear off your fingernails.
**[12:15] Man**
What? What are you talking about?
**[12:18] Man**
You, say something!
**[12:19] Todo**
You're certain?
**[12:21] Sakuya**
Yes.
**[12:22] Todo**
Then tear them off.
**[12:23] Man**
What?! Ow!
**[12:26] Todo**
What will you do after you
tear off all his fingernails?
**[12:28] Sakuya**
Cut off his ears.
**[12:29] Man**
Okay, okay! I'm a spy!
**[12:32] Sakuya**
From where?
**[12:33] Man**
I was hired by the Choshu Domain.
**[12:36] Todo**
For what purpose?
**[12:37] Man**
I'm just a low-level grunt.
I don't know much.
**[12:42] Man**
I was told to spread rumors!
**[12:44] Sakuya**
Rumors?
**[12:45] Man**
That lately Katsura Kogoro's
been frequenting the Yoshidaya!
**[12:49] Todo**
Sakuya, leave that man.
**[12:52] Todo**
This must be the dubious
information Katamori mentioned.

Don't overdo it.
**[13:34] Fake Katsura**
Now then.
**[13:36] Fake Katsura**
It's time to begin the harvest.
**[13:39] Fake Katsura**
Cut down every last person at the Yoshidaya.

**[13:58] Fake Katsura**
Our objective is to hunt
down pro-shogunate spies.
**[14:02] Fake Katsura**
We've been spreading rumors about
**[14:03] Fake Katsura**
Katsura making appearances
here to achieve that goal.
**[14:06] Soldier A**
Prepare yourselves.
**[14:08] Akira**
Wait!
**[14:10] Akira**
I'm the spy.
**[14:11] Akira**
I won't resist. Just don't harm the others.
**[14:14] Fake Katsura**
I knew it was you.
**[14:18] Fake Katsura**
But there could be other supporters
of the shogunate here.
**[14:21] Fake Katsura**
If we kill everyone, then none will escape.
**[14:24] Soldier A**
We'll start with you.
**[14:26] Akira**
Don't! You mean you'll
even kill innocent people?
**[14:29] Soldier B**
Sacrifices must be made for the noble
purpose of overthrowing the shogunate.
**[14:34] Fake Katsura**
You aren't samurai. You wouldn't understand.
**[14:37] Ichibanboshi**
You shitty samurai! Katsura Kogoro!
**[14:41] Fake Katsura**
Who are you?
**[14:42] Ichibanboshi**
This is what I hate about you guys!
**[14:48] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[14:49] Fake Katsura**
Once you've taken down those two,
kill everyone in the shop.
**[14:55] Soldier G**
What's happening?
**[14:56] Soldier H**
What's going on?
**[15:01] Soldier G**
There's nobody in the other rooms!
**[15:03] Soldier H**
The place is empty!
**[15:04] Fake Katsura**
What?
**[15:06] Akira**
What's going on? Could it be?
**[15:08] Ichibanboshi**
I evacuated everyone earlier.
**[15:11] Maid A**
Ichibanboshi-chan told us to flee.
**[15:14] Servant**
We figured it must be pretty bad
if he was telling us to run.
**[15:17] Maid B**
He saved our lives.
**[15:19] Akira**
I thought you were an idiot,
but I've changed my mind.
**[15:24] Fake Katsura**
You've screwed up our plans.
**[15:25] Fake Katsura**
I'll lose face if I don't at
least return with your heads.
**[15:29] Akira**
Ichibanboshi, where are
the swords I gave you?
**[15:32] Ichibanboshi**
Don't worry. They're hidden
inside an unused oven.
**[15:36] Akira**
You mean you didn't bring them with you?
**[15:38] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah.
**[15:39] Akira**
I was wrong to change my mind.
**[15:45] Gyataro**
I'm here to help.
**[15:46] Bo**
Me, too.
**[15:48] Akira**
What are you guys doing here?
**[15:49] Gyataro**
Some old pals of mine told me there was
something fishy about the Yoshidaya.
**[15:54] Gyataro**
It's time to make a comeback.
**[15:56] Gyataro**
Let's get this Katsura Kogoro guy.
**[15:58] Bo**
Yeah.
**[16:02] Ikuchiyo**
Those are your swords, aren't they?
**[16:04] Fake Katsura**
Ikuchiyo, are you working with them, too?
**[16:08] Ikuchiyo**
No, but I can't allow you
to kill innocent bystanders
**[16:11] Ikuchiyo**
for the sake of overthrowing the shogunate.
**[16:16] Fake Katsura**
Riff-raff like you wouldn't
understand our purpose.
**[16:22] Fake Katsura**
Die!
**[16:27] Akira**
This way.
**[16:29] Akira**
Now's our chance.
**[16:30] Bo**
Run for it.
**[16:31] Soldier D**
You're not getting away!
**[16:37] Gyataro**
You didn't use the blade?
**[16:38] Ikuchiyo**
I can't stand blood.
**[16:40] Gyataro**
You're a softie, huh?
**[16:41] Ikuchiyo**
I get that a lot.
**[16:53] Suzuran**
Did you know that sick lady
would give us information
**[16:56] Suzuran**
about this place if you treated her?
**[16:58] Sogen**
She didn't seem to have any money.
**[17:01] Sogen**
Since she came back anyway, she must've
had something else to offer.
**[17:06] Suzuran**
I see.
**[17:08] Sogen**
She probably realized we were members
of the Shinsengumi, and believed
**[17:12] Sogen**
she could pay for treatment using the
information she had about the Yoshidaya.
**[17:17] Suzuran**
You know everything.
You're a god, Sogen-chan.
**[17:21] Sogen**
Should a priest be saying that?
**[17:24] Sogen**
It's simple observation and conjecture.
**[17:26] Soldier I**
Bastards!
**[17:28] Suzuran**
This is my first time using this staff,
so there's no telling what will happen.
**[17:34] Suzuran**
But if it happens to kill you,
**[17:35] Suzuran**
I'll recite whatever prayers or
scriptures you want, so don't worry.
**[17:52] Suzuran**
Now that's an impressive trick.
**[17:54] Sogen**
A victory for science.
**[18:02] Ichibanboshi**
Crap.
**[18:07] Sakuya**
Number 831.
**[18:11] Sakuya**
Number 832.
**[18:17] Todo**
What are you doing here?
**[18:19] Gyataro**
I came running when we heard
Katsura Kogoro was here.
**[18:23] Sogen**
As did I.
**[18:24] Todo**
So you weren't just slacking off.
**[18:27] Todo**
Where's Katsura Kogoro?
**[18:29] Gyataro**
On the second floor.
**[18:30] Gyataro**
They should be finishing up soon.
**[18:33] Todo**
All right.
**[18:36] Todo**
Is this sword...?
**[18:39] Sogen**
Yes. I turned the broken Kijinmaru
Kunishige into an electric trick weapon.
**[18:46] Todo**
How could you do that to
Saito Hajime-san's sword?
**[18:56] Akira**
You're no ordinary geisha, are you?
**[18:58] Ikuchiyo**
Oh, I'm exactly what I look like.
**[19:02] Ikuchiyo**
I'm just a simple geisha.
**[19:04] Ikuchiyo**
The rest is up to you.
Time for me to get out of here.
**[19:08] Akira**
What are you—
**[19:10] Ikuchiyo**
I'll be taking this as
a souvenir, Ikumatsu-san.
**[19:21] Fake Katsura**
Overlooking you was the first mistake I made.
**[19:25] Fake Katsura**
If I'd cut you down then,
this wouldn't have happened!
**[19:33] Fake Katsura**
Imagine a girl like you
swinging a sword around.
**[19:35] Fake Katsura**
Who do you think you are,
a traveling performer?
**[19:38] Fake Katsura**
You should be showing some
skin and dancing instead.
**[19:43] Akira**
I understand now.
**[19:50] Akira**
I survived to join the Shinsengumi so
I could cut down bastards like you.
**[19:56] Akira**
I'll show you which of us is stronger!
**[20:03] Fake Katsura**
Hah! I'll cut you down!
**[20:16] Todo**
Kiku-ichimonji is glowing.
**[20:19] Todo**
Is Okita-san helping her?
**[20:21] Suzuran**
Wow, isn't Katsura Kogoro
a big-name Choshu guy?
**[20:25] Gyataro**
Which makes this a huge achievement.
**[20:28] Akira**
This man isn't Katsura Kogoro.
**[20:31] Akira**
He's just a substitute
here to hunt down spies.
**[20:34] Akira**
The real Katsura is probably...
***SIGN*** Choshu Domain Mansion
**[20:38] Gatekeeper**
What do you want, woman?
**[20:40] Katsura**
It's me.
**[20:42] Gatekeeper**
Ah, Katsura-san.
Another undercover investigation?
**[20:46] Katsura**
I couldn't sit by while someone was
using my name to commit evil acts.
**[20:52] Todo**
Once we're back at headquarters,
**[20:54] Todo**
I want everyone except Sakuya and Akira
to do a thousand practice swings.
**[20:56] All**
What?!
**[20:57] Ichibanboshi**
Why are we being punished?
**[20:59] Todo**
Breaking the rules of the
Shinsengumi is a serious offense.
**[21:02] Todo**
Given what you accomplished today, I'm
letting you off easy with a thousand swings.
**[21:05] Ichibanboshi**
But I didn't break any rules.
**[21:07] Todo**
You're doing it with them
because you need more practice.
**[21:10] Ichibanboshi**
What? What kind of reason is that?
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi
Headquarters
**[21:13] All**
One, two! One, two!
**[21:15] Gyataro**
I'm getting wasted tonight.
**[21:21] Suzuran**
This sucks.
**[21:23] Ichibanboshi**
Why are you doing this with us, Akira?
**[21:25] Akira**
This is just my normal training.
**[21:28] Bo**
Normal?
**[21:29] Gyataro**
You're one hard worker.
**[21:31] Akira**
Sakuya's surely off somewhere
training right now.
**[21:35] Ichibanboshi**
Him, too?
**[21:37] Ichibanboshi**
I can't let him outdo me!

I'll need to make adjustments.

Owie...
**[00:47] Gyataro**
What was that for?
**[00:49] Bo**
Ow?
**[00:49] Gyataro**
Are you guys still drunk or something?
**[00:52] Mikura**
Nagakura Shinpachi and Harada Sanosuke...
**[00:55] Mikura**
You could've died peacefully
if you'd just stayed asleep!
**[01:02] Akira**
What's that sound?
**[01:03] Sogen**
It's coming from the Maekawa building.
**[01:06] Suzuran**
No way. They're still drinking?
**[01:10] Sakuya**
No, that's the sound of swords.
**[01:16] Sakuya**
Wake up.

**[02:58] Mikura**
You're not getting away.
**[03:01] Gyataro**
Mikura and Arakida, you traitors!
**[03:04] Mikura**
Accept your fate!
**[03:09] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, are you guys okay?
**[03:17] Akira**
I didn't use the blade, although that
probably hurts more than dying.
**[03:21] Bo**
So strong!
**[03:23] Gyataro**
Thanks for the help.
**[03:25] Arakida**
Crap, it's Okita Soji.
**[03:28] Matsui**
Skilled Captain of the First Unit...
**[03:32] Sakuya**
Are you Choshu spies?
**[03:35] Todo**
Infiltrating the Shinsengumi so
you could kill us in our sleep
**[03:38] Todo**
is unbecoming for a samurai.
**[03:39] Todo**
Though I suppose your associates
can hardly be called samurai.
**[03:44] Arakida**
Hurry!
**[03:47] Arakida**
Let's go!
**[03:48] Mikura**
Those jerks...
**[03:49] Suzuran**
They're surprisingly disloyal
for loyalists, aren't they?
**[03:54] Todo**
Okita, Saito, and Sannan,
go after the spies who fled.
**[03:57] All**
Yes, sir.
**[03:58] Todo**
Kondo, Nagakura, and Harada,
clean up this place.
**[04:02] All**
Yes, sir.
**[04:04] Todo**
Hijikata, get this guy to talk.
**[04:06] Todo**
Get rough with him if you need to.
**[04:08] Sakuya**
Yes, sir.
**[04:09] Sakuya**
Mikura, you're going to tell me everything.
**[04:12] Mikura**
I'll never talk.
**[04:14] Sakuya**
Do you know how much pain you're
capable of withstanding?
**[04:22] Suzuran**
Aw, man. They got away.
**[04:25] Sogen**
This disturbance occurred the moment
the Shinsengumi welcomed new members.
**[04:29] Sogen**
The timing is too perfect.
**[04:31] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, are you saying this was planned?
**[04:34] Sogen**
I can only say it's very likely
judging by the circumstances.
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi
Headquarters
**[04:41] Suzuran**
I don't like the sound of that.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Akira**
You're no ordinary geisha, are you?
**[04:53] (Flashback) Ikuchiyo**
Oh, I'm exactly what I look like.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Ikuchiyo**
I'm just a simple geisha.
**[04:59] (Flashback) Ikuchiyo**
The rest is up to you.
Time for me to get out of here.
**[05:02] (Flashback) Akira**
What are you—
**[05:04] (Flashback) Ikuchiyo**
I'll be taking this as
a souvenir, Ikumatsu-san.
**[05:10] Akira**
Ikuchiyo...
**[05:25] Sakuya**
Move.
**[05:26] Ichibanboshi**
What are you planning to do to him?
**[05:28] Sakuya**
Question him for information, so we can
maintain peace and order in the capital.
**[05:31] Ichibanboshi**
I know a lie when I hear one.
**[05:34] Sakuya**
That's the Shinsengumi's job.
**[05:39] Mikura**
Kill me, if that's what you're going to do.
**[05:41] Mikura**
The proud fighters of the Choshu Domain
will not succumb to any kind of tor—ow!
**[05:45] Ichibanboshi**
Quiet!
**[05:46] Mikura**
What?
**[05:47] Ichibanboshi**
Keep your mouth shut!
**[05:48] Ichibanboshi**
You're going to kill him, aren't you?
**[05:50] Sakuya**
I'm just going to inflict pain
on him until he confesses.
**[05:54] Ichibanboshi**
Using dirty methods like that makes you
no better than these lawless ronin.
**[05:58] Mikura**
How rude! We're not lawless ronin!
**[06:01] Ichibanboshi**
I told you to stay out of this!
**[06:04] Ichibanboshi**
I won't let you torture him.
**[06:06] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya, I don't trust you.
**[06:09] Sakuya**
Because I used to be a hired killer?
**[06:11] Mikura**
A hired killer?
**[06:12] Ichibanboshi**
Because you're a piece of shit father-killer
who cuts people down indiscriminately!
**[06:17] Mikura**
Father-killer?
**[06:19] Sakuya**
Is that all you have to say?
**[06:21] Mikura**
W-Wait, I'll talk!
**[06:24] Mikura**
I'll tell you everything I know.
**[06:28] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[06:30] Katamori**
Choshu spies, huh?
**[06:32] Todo**
Between this and the incident
at the Yoshidaya the other day,
**[06:35] Todo**
they must really hate the Shinsengumi.
**[06:39] Akizuki**
What about that sword?
**[06:41] Todo**
Yes, sir.
**[06:43] Todo**
The spies had these.
**[06:48] Katamori**
What's this?
**[06:49] Akizuki**
How strange.
**[06:51] Todo**
These mysterious swords, sharper
than the finest blades,
**[06:55] Todo**
are circulating among the ronin in the city.
**[06:58] Katamori**
Now that's a problem.
**[07:01] Katamori**
Where are the swords coming from?
**[07:03] Todo**
They said they got them from children.
**[07:05] Katamori**
Children?
**[07:07] Todo**
Allegedly, many of the anti-shogunate
ronin received their swords from orphans.
**[07:11] Akizuki**
Now this is an unexpected development
in the recent suspicious activity.
**[07:15] Akizuki**
But there are many orphans in the capital.
**[07:19] Akizuki**
It will be difficult to
investigate all of them.
**[07:21] Todo**
We needn't worry about that.
**[07:22] Todo**
Fortunately, one of the
Shinsengumi substitutes used to
**[07:25] Todo**
be the leader of an orphan gang.
**[07:30] Todo**
He's got quite a lot of influence with them.
**[07:37] Urchin**
Wow, rice balls!
**[07:41] Urchin**
It's the boss!
**[07:42] Urchin**
Gyata-nii's back!
**[07:42] Gyataro**
Quit your yapping. Don't worry.
There's plenty for everyone.
**[07:44] Urchin**
Gimme!
**[07:45] Urchin**
Me, too!
**[07:46] Urchin**
Me first!
**[07:49] Bo**
Get in line.
**[07:53] Ichibanboshi**
This is impressive. Are they
all your little brothers?
**[07:57] Gyataro**
I see some familiar faces,
**[07:59] Gyataro**
but it looks like they've gained
new faces since I was arrested.
**[08:07] Ichibanboshi**
Anyway, why would they use
kids to distribute swords?
**[08:11] Gyataro**
Because in this city, it's kids without
parents who take on dangerous jobs.
**[08:17] Gyataro**
Weren't you the same, Ichibanboshi?
**[08:23] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah.
**[08:32] Ichibanboshi**
I did anything to survive.
**[08:35] Ichibanboshi**
Like stealing, and all
kinds of dangerous stuff.
**[08:44] Ichibanboshi**
There's nothing I hate more
than people who turn kids
**[08:46] Ichibanboshi**
into their pawns by killing their parents.
**[08:49] Bo**
Yeah, same.
**[08:52] Gyataro**
Then let's catch those guys.
**[08:55] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah.
**[09:14] Ikuchiyo**
Ikumatsu-han, the shop is closed today.
**[09:17] Akira**
Ikuchiyo, who are you?
**[09:20] Akira**
You're not just a pervert
who enjoys cross-dressing.
**[09:25] Ikuchiyo**
That's rich, coming from
a cross-dressing samurai.
**[09:29] Ikuchiyo**
I'm the man you've been
looking for, Okita Soji.
**[09:34] Akira**
Katsura Kogoro of the Choshu Domain.
**[09:37] Akira**
I knew it was you. Now I finally
have some answers.
**[09:42] Katsura**
Hold your horses.
**[09:44] Katsura**
I know the Shinsengumi is trying to kill me.
**[09:47] Katsura**
But turning your blades
against me would be hasty.
**[09:50] Akira**
Save your breath. We were attacked
in our sleep by Choshu spies.
**[09:54] Katsura**
I'm sorry about that.
**[09:55] Katsura**
Those idiots from the Choshu Domain don't
understand the current situation,
**[09:59] Katsura**
and are pointlessly engaging
in subversive activity.
**[10:01] Katsura**
They're giving me a lot of trouble, too.
**[10:04] Katsura**
Ikumatsu—rather, Okita-han,
would you be willing to hear me out?
**[10:16] Bo**
Where's your brother?
**[10:18] Gyataro**
He should be here soon.
**[10:24] Big Brother**
Come on, don't cry.
**[10:26] Big Brother**
Blow your nose and wipe your tears.
**[10:29] Big Brother**
Jeez, you're hopeless.
**[10:32] Ichibanboshi**
*Don't cry, Tsukito.*
**[10:35] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Jeez, you're a wimp.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
I got your scarf back for you. Here.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Thanks, Brother.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
You need to get better at fighting, Tsukito.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Tsukito**
You're just too strong.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, 'cause I'm always number one.
**[10:56] Big Brother**
You're okay.
**[10:58] Big Brother**
Come on, let's go home.
**[10:58] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, someday I'll avenge you,
and build a memorial for you.
**[11:01] Little Brother**
Okay.
**[11:03] Ichibanboshi**
The best memorial there is.
**[11:06] Gyataro**
There he is.
**[11:08] Gyataro**
Hey, Tomekichi. Over here.
**[11:11] Tomekichi**
What? Gyata-nii?
**[11:17] Gyataro**
It's good to see you again.
**[11:19] Tomekichi**
Gyata-nii, did you break out of prison again?
**[11:21] Gyataro**
Something like that.
**[11:23] Gyataro**
For reasons, these days I'm Nagakura
Shinpachi of the Shinsengumi.
**[11:28] Gyataro**
I'm a samurai.
**[11:30] Tomekichi**
From gang boss to samurai?
You must be joking.
**[11:35] Tomekichi**
What can I do for you today?
**[11:36] Gyataro**
I'm here about those.
**[11:38] Gyataro**
Tomekichi, you're smuggling
some sketchy goods, aren't you?
**[11:43] Tomekichi**
Gyata-nii, these are...
**[11:45] Gyataro**
We're not looking to punish you kids.
**[11:49] Gyataro**
We're searching for the guys
distributing these swords.
**[11:51] Gyataro**
We'll settle this matter for you.
**[11:54] Gyataro**
Take us to them.
**[11:59] Tomekichi**
There's no beating you, Gyata-nii.
**[12:01] Tomekichi**
Follow me.
**[12:07] Mikura**
Mercy, please.
**[12:10] Mikura**
I've told you everything. It's true.
**[12:26] Sakuya**
The same blood flows in my veins, huh?
**[12:31] Sakuya**
It's not that I particularly hate you.
**[12:33] Sakuya**
I have to do this to maintain peace and order
**[12:37] Sakuya**
in the city, and protect those who
got the short end of the stick.
**[12:41] Todo**
What are you doing?
**[12:42] Sakuya**
Making him talk.
**[12:44] Todo**
You already got information out of him.
**[12:45] Todo**
There's no need to continue torturing him.
**[12:47] Sakuya**
The real Hijikata Toshizo wouldn't be
so lenient. He'd be even more thorough in—
**[12:54] Todo**
You're just an ignorant substitute.
Don't lecture me on the vice commander.
**[12:59] Sakuya**
Understood. I'll cease torturing him.
**[13:02] Todo**
Where are the others?
**[13:03] Todo**
I thought I told them to
gather around four o'clock.
**[13:06] Sakuya**
Well...
**[13:07] Sakuya**
The doctor and the monk were fiddling
with a sword in their room.
**[13:11] Sakuya**
They seemed to be modifying
the electric staff.
**[13:14] Sakuya**
Dumboshi and the others haven't returned
from going to see the orphans.
**[13:18] Todo**
And Akira? I suppose I don't
have to worry about her, though.
**[13:24] Katsura**
The men wearing strange masks are working
with the extremists from the Choshu Domain.
**[13:29] Akira**
The Masked Demons?
**[13:31] Katsura**
I want to stop the idiots
of the Choshu Domain.
**[13:34] Katsura**
So does the Shinsengumi.
Our interests are aligned.
**[13:39] Katsura**
Right?
**[13:40] Akira**
So what if they are?
**[13:42] Katsura**
Okita Soji, work with me.
**[13:44] Katsura**
I'd like to exchange information.
**[13:46] Katsura**
When you consider the security of
the capital and the future of Japan,
**[13:50] Katsura**
it's the logical choice
for all manner of reasons.
**[13:57] Katsura**
You don't need to give me your answer now.
**[14:00] Katsura**
Think about it for as long as you need to.
**[14:03] Akira**
Wait!
**[14:05] Katsura**
How unfortunate. That suits
you better than a sword.
**[14:09] Akira**
What does?
**[14:13] Katsura**
Okita Soji, we'll meet again.
You can give me your answer then.
**[14:24] Ichibanboshi**
So that's how they're handing out the swords.
**[14:27] Gyataro**
No wonder we couldn't track them down.
**[14:36] Gyataro**
Hey, look at that. They're finally
making an appearance.
**[14:40] Bo**
There are adults on the bridge.
**[14:44] Ichibanboshi**
Tomekichi's giving the swords to...
**[14:48] Ichibanboshi**
It's those two.
**[14:51] Ichibanboshi**
I knew I recognized them.
**[14:55] Bo**
It's the Choshu guys.
**[14:56] Gyataro**
They're the rats who attacked us.
**[15:00] Ichibanboshi**
All right.
**[15:02] Bo**
I'm itching...
**[15:03] Gyataro**
...for a fight.

**[15:10] Gyataro**
Sorry we're late.
**[15:12] Todo**
Aren't these the assassins from this morning?
**[15:14] Ichibanboshi**
They confessed.
**[15:16] Ichibanboshi**
They're working for the Masked Demons,
who are gathering magical swords.
**[15:20] Sakuya**
That matches the information
I got from his confession.
**[15:23] Todo**
All right. Get ready, everyone.
**[15:26] Todo**
We're going out on a job.
**[15:28] All**
Yes, sir!
**[15:30] Ichibanboshi**

The masked men won't be able to escape
with this geographical advantage.
**[16:07] Sakuya**
Why did they choose this delta
as their meeting location?
**[16:12] Sakuya**
What if they use a boat
to collect the swords?
**[16:16] Akira**
You're right. That would be a problem for us.
**[16:19] Akira**
Ichibanboshi and the others
headed into the woods...
**[16:29] Gyataro**
It's a lumber hut.
**[16:31] Ichibanboshi**
There could be lookouts up ahead.
**[16:34] Tamekichi**
I'm going after all.
**[16:35] Bo**
It's too dangerous.
**[16:37] Gyataro**
This is our job to do.
**[16:38] Tamekichi**
But you'd attract too much attention.
**[16:41] Tamekichi**
I'll go first and check things out.
**[16:43] Tamekichi**
You can come once I give the signal.
**[16:45] Ichibanboshi**
Fine, we're counting on you.
**[16:47] Ichibanboshi**
Let us know right away if anything happens.
**[17:00] Tamekichi**
I brought the goods.
**[17:03] Tamekichi**
Is anyone there?
**[17:07] Mask A**
Better hope you came alone, kid.
**[17:11] Mask A**
Leave the swords and go.
**[17:13] Tamekichi**
What are you talking about?
**[17:14] Tamekichi**
I'm not doing this for free.
**[17:16] Tamekichi**
I was promised a reward.
**[17:19] Mask B**
Come.
**[17:20] Mask B**
I'll confirm the swords are real.
**[17:27] Bo**
No signal yet.
**[17:29] Ichibanboshi**
What is Tomekichi doing?
**[17:31] Ichibanboshi**
Let's blitz 'em.
**[17:32] Gyataro**
Be patient. My little brother
isn't that easily—
**[17:39] Ichibanboshi**
What's this?
**[17:46] Tamekichi**
Ow! This isn't what I was promised!
**[17:48] Mask C**
Boy, your life will be used
in service of the nation.
**[17:53] Mask C**
That's your reward.
**[17:58] Mask C**
Now die!
**[17:59] Tamekichi**
Gyata-nii!
**[18:06] All**
Let's blitz 'em!
**[18:08] Gyataro**
Prepare yourselves!
**[18:10] Mask A**
The boy was bait.
**[18:13] Mask C**
Get them!
**[18:17] Sakuya**
They're coming.
**[18:20] Akira**
I don't see anything.
**[18:25] Sakuya**
They came on a boat after all.
**[18:27] Sakuya**
I'll go alone.
**[18:29] Akira**
I'll wait for them here.
**[18:42] Sakuya**
Shinsengumi Vice Commander Hijikata Toshizo.
**[18:47] Sakuya**
If you're looking to cross the
Sanzu River, then I'll assist you.
**[18:51] Rashomaru**
When ants are separated from their colony,
**[18:54] Rashomaru**
they continue walking without stopping
to eat, and so rush to their deaths.
**[18:58] Rashomaru**
Hijikata Toshizo, are you also a
vagabond hurrying to his death?
**[19:04] Sakuya**
Number 851.
**[19:12] Rashomaru**
Hijikata, you're strong.
**[19:15] Rashomaru**
It seems you're not in a hurry to die.
**[19:18] Rashomaru**
But that strength of yours
won't take you anywhere.
**[19:23] Rashomaru**
A man who feels isolated within a group
**[19:25] Rashomaru**
is even more pathetic than an
ant separated from its colony.
**[19:31] Sakuya**
Bastard.
**[19:34] Gyataro**
Take this!
**[19:38] Mask C**
That's enough, Shinsengumi!
**[19:39] Mask C**
Don't move, or I'll take the kid's head off.
**[19:42] Ichibanboshi**
What?
**[19:43] Gyataro**
Tomekichi!
**[19:44] Tamekichi**
Sorry, guys.
**[19:46] Mask C**
Kids are useful for transporting
weapons *and* as hostages.
**[19:51] Ichibanboshi**
You piece of shit.
**[19:53] Gyataro**
Now that you've finished using him,
you're just gonna throw him away?
**[19:57] Bo**
You make me sick.
**[20:17] Ichibanboshi**
Tomekichi!
**[20:23] Bo**
The tables have turned!
**[20:25] Gyataro**
Give yourselves up!
**[20:29] Gyataro**
What's that?
**[20:30] Ichibanboshi**
Tomekichi, run.
**[20:31] Tamekichi**
Got it.
**[20:33] Mask A**
Rashomaru-sama!
**[20:47] Ichibanboshi**
Hold up!
**[20:49] Gyataro**
Isn't he supposed to ask
us to handle things here?
**[20:54] ---**
**[20:55] Gyataro**
Welp, I guess we'll take
care of this lickety-split!
**[21:00] ---**
**[21:06] Ichibanboshi**
I'll never forget that sword or appearance!
**[21:09] Ichibanboshi**
I'll make you pay, scarf guy!
**[21:16] Ichibanboshi**
No, you don't!
**[21:20] Ichibanboshi**
This is for Pops, Ma, and Tsukito!
**[21:24] Ichibanboshi**
Kondo Isami is gonna bring you to justice!
**[21:47] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami?
**[21:49] Rashomaru**
You don't deserve to call yourself that.
**[21:54] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, you're alive?
**[21:59] Rashomaru**
That's not my name anymore.

Show Them! The Pride of a Monk and a Doctor
**[02:24] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito...
**[02:26] Ichibanboshi**
Why? Why are you a Masked Demon?
**[02:30] Ichibanboshi**
What happened after that? What about Ma?
**[02:37] Rashomaru**
You hear that?
**[02:39] Rashomaru**
Those are the voices of Dad and Mom,
who died by this sword.
**[02:46] Ichibanboshi**
Pops and Ma?
**[02:49] Rashomaru**
I killed Mom. I stabbed
her through the heart.
**[02:55] Rashomaru**
And now you'll give your
life for this nation, too!
**[03:03] Sakuya**
What are you doing, Dumboshi?
**[03:06] Rashomaru**
Well, well...
**[03:08] Rashomaru**
The drowned rat showed up to assist you.
**[03:11] Sakuya**
I never make the same mistake twice.
**[03:14] Sakuya**
Number 851.
**[03:18] Rashomaru**
Not bad, Vice Commander.
**[03:21] Rashomaru**
Unlike him, you're not weak.
**[03:25] Sakuya**
Don't compare me to Dumboshi.
**[03:27] Sakuya**
I won't hold back just because
you're his family, Tsukito.
**[03:30] Rashomaru**
Call me Rashomaru.
**[03:32] Rashomaru**
I gave up that name when I killed my mother.
**[03:36] Sakuya**
Are you bragging about your
own misfortune? How amusing.
**[03:43] Rashomaru**
I thought you'd understand. After all,
you killed your own father.
**[04:03] Akira**
Who was that?
**[04:04] Sakuya**
Captain of the Masked Demons, Rashomaru.
**[04:07] Sakuya**
He's also Ichibanboshi's brother, Tsukito.
***SIGN*** Shinsengumi
Headquarters
**[04:18] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, have you figured anything out?
**[04:22] Sogen**
Yes. Take a look at these.
**[04:24] Suzuran**
What are these?
**[04:26] Sogen**
I soaked the magic swords Ichibanboshi-dono
collected in various chemicals,
**[04:30] Sogen**
and measured their corrosion levels.
**[04:34] Sogen**
It turns out these swords are
made from ordinary copper.
**[04:38] Sogen**
I was unable to detect any
substances responsible for their
**[04:42] Sogen**
peculiar glow or extraordinary power.
**[04:44] Suzuran**
Huh. So, what about this?
**[04:48] Sogen**
I dissected the bodies of the ronin
and found nothing exceptional,
**[04:52] Sogen**
nor did I find signs they'd
taken any special drugs.
**[04:57] Suzuran**
In other words...
**[04:58] Sogen**
I've got nothing.
**[05:01] Suzuran**
I see. We'll have to come
up with another idea, then.
**[05:05] Suzuran**
Anyway, this room is crazy.
**[05:07] Suzuran**
Trick devices, dissected
corpses, and experiments.
**[05:11] Suzuran**
You're a strange one, Sogen-chan.
**[05:13] Sogen**
They're all the same.
**[05:16] Suzuran**
What do you mean?
**[05:18] Sogen**
I've simply been interested in the
basis of all things since I was young.
***SIGN*** New Book of Anatomy
**[05:25] Sogen**
This is the *New Book of Anatomy*,
or *Tafel Anatomie*.
**[05:29] Suzuran**
You sure do like that book.
**[05:32] Sogen**
"Anatomie" means "dissection."
**[05:35] Sogen**
The word "atom," which shares
the same etymology,
**[05:38] Sogen**
is based on "a-", meaning
"not," and "tom," "to cut."
**[05:39] Sogen**
In other words, the ultimate mission of
mankind is to find the root of things
**[05:44] Sogen**
that cannot be broken down any further.
**[05:44] Suzuran**
Yup, you're certainly strange.
**[05:47] Bo**
Shinsengumi applicants, over here.
**[05:50] Gyataro**
Just listen to them jabber.
**[05:53] Gyataro**
Stand in a straight line, newbies.
**[05:54] Bo**
Tell me where you're from
and what your name is.
**[05:57] Gyataro**
Why do we have to do this?
**[06:00] Bo**
We don't want to get attacked again.
**[06:02] Gyataro**
I know that! Man, this sucks!
**[06:05] Gyataro**
Where did Ichibanboshi run off to?
**[06:17] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
You hear that?
**[06:19] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
Those are the voices of Dad and Mom,
who died by this sword.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
I killed Mom. I stabbed
her through the heart.
**[06:41] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, why are we going for
a walk to take our minds off things?
**[06:47] Sogen**
Whose house is this?
**[06:49] Suzuran**
It's Mokichi-san's house.
**[06:51] Suzuran**
Remember the guy we helped who'd
been stabbed in the street?
**[06:54] Sogen**
Ah, yes.
**[06:55] Suzuran**
I come check on him sometimes.
**[06:57] Suzuran**
His daughter, Oito-chan, takes
really great care of me.
**[07:01] Sogen**
Is that not the real reason you come here?
**[07:03] Suzuran**
A few more years, and she'll be in her prime.
**[07:09] Suzuran**
Oito-chan, are you there?
**[07:12] Oito**
Mr. Priest!
**[07:12] Suzuran**
What? Already?
**[07:14] Suzuran**
We should start by becoming friends first.
**[07:16] Oito**
Something's wrong with my dad.
**[07:22] Oito**
He suddenly became unwell.
I don't know what to do.
**[07:26] Sogen**
The injuries I treated the
other day have healed.
**[07:30] Sogen**
He doesn't seem to be afflicted
by any other illness.
**[07:34] Sogen**
But his condition is poor regardless.
**[07:38] Sogen**
I've never seen a case like this before.
**[07:43] Mokichi**
Oito...
**[07:44] Oito**
Dad, I'm right here.
**[07:47] Mokichi**
I won't last much longer.
**[07:50] Oito**
Don't say that.
**[07:52] Mokichi**
You know our relatives in Yamashiro?
**[07:56] Oito**
Yes.
**[07:57] Mokichi**
I sent them a letter.
They'll take care of you.
**[08:03] Mokichi**
Oito, thank you for all
you've done until now.
**[08:10] Oito**
Dad...
**[08:17] Sogen**
Impossible.
**[08:26] Sogen**
I'm sorry. It's my fault
Mokichi-san didn't make it.
**[08:30] Oito**
Not at all. You both did
everything you could.
**[08:36] Oito**
And my father seemed at peace in the end.
**[08:43] Sogen**
I can't stop thinking about it.
**[08:45] Sogen**
I'd like to dig up Mokichi-san's body and
dissect it to determine his cause of death.
**[08:51] Suzuran**
Don't. It may satisfy your curiosity,
but Oito-chan wouldn't be able to handle it.
**[09:11] Suzuran**
You held a Buddhist service for him, huh?
**[09:15] Suzuran**
But don't you pray not like this,
**[09:19] Suzuran**
but like this instead?
**[09:22] Widow**
How did you know that?
**[09:23] Suzuran**
Let's say a quick Christian
prayer before someone shows up.
**[09:27] Suzuran**
We can leave a cross on his grave later,
so no one will notice.
**[09:31] Widow**
Thank you, Father.
**[09:39] Todo**
Kondo-san, Hijikata-san...
**[09:42] Todo**
Someday I'll make proper
memorials for all of you.
**[09:46] Todo**
Please watch over the Shinsengumi until then.
**[10:10] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, how did you become a criminal?
**[10:14] Suzuran**
Like you saw earlier,
**[10:16] Suzuran**
a government official discovered me
**[10:18] Suzuran**
conducting a secret funeral
service for Christians in hiding.
**[10:21] Suzuran**
It was awful.
**[10:25] Suzuran**
How did you become a criminal?
**[10:29] Sogen**
I was arrested for dissecting abandoned
corpses and making euthanizing medicines.
**[10:40] Sogen**
It's embarrassing.
**[10:42] Suzuran**
So nothing's changed, then.
**[10:45] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, what do you think
happens to us when we die?
**[10:50] Sogen**
There isn't anything after death,
only nothingness.
**[10:55] Suzuran**
I believe we have souls.
**[10:58] Sogen**
Souls only exist in picture
scrolls and fairy tales.
**[11:03] Suzuran**
If you could see souls, would you
believe in them, too?
**[11:07] Sogen**
If I could observe them,
then I could research them.
**[11:11] Sogen**
Are you saying you can see them?
**[11:14] Suzuran**
Who knows?
**[11:18] Suzuran**
This world is unfair.
**[11:21] Suzuran**
Rich and poor, lucky and unlucky,
healthy and sick...
**[11:28] Suzuran**
There are only a few things in this
world that you can choose for yourself.
**[11:32] Suzuran**
I'd like if everyone were
at least equal after death.
**[11:35] Suzuran**
I hope we are, anyway.
**[11:39] Suzuran**
What's this?
**[11:40] Sogen**
Are your hands shaking
from drinking too much?
**[11:43] Suzuran**
No. Are you sure you didn't make
some weird modification to it again?
**[11:47] Sogen**
I made no such alteration.
**[11:49] Sogen**
Come to think of it,
**[11:51] Sogen**
Ichibanboshi-dono and Gyataro-dono
said their swords made noises.
**[11:57] Suzuran**
Are you saying the soul of Saito Hajime-san
that resides within this sword
**[12:01] Suzuran**
is trying to tell me something?
**[12:08] Suzuran**
It stopped?
**[12:10] Sogen**
I wonder what caused that phenomenon.
**[12:12] Suzuran**
Saito Hajime-san, I don't know
what you're trying to say.
**[12:25] Suzuran**
I see.
**[12:27] Suzuran**
Thank you.
**[12:29] Sogen**
Did you say something?
**[12:31] Suzuran**
No, nothing.
**[12:34] Suzuran**
Anyway, I figured out what
the sword was pointing at.
**[12:38] Suzuran**
It's that building.
***SIGN*** Shirakawaya
**[12:40] Sogen**

Headquarters
**[12:50] Todo**
You're saying Saito Hajime-san's
Kijinmaru Kunishige
**[12:53] Todo**
responded only in front of the Shirakawaya?
**[12:57] Suzuran**
That's right.
**[12:59] Sogen**
I saw it as well.
**[13:01] Suzuran**
What should we do?
**[13:06] Todo**
Sit down. We're still in
the middle of a meeting.
**[13:08] Ichibanboshi**
Let's blitz 'em.
**[13:10] Ichibanboshi**
If his sword responded to that building,
then it must be a Masked Demon hideout.
**[13:14] Gyataro**
Yeah, let's get 'em!
**[13:17] Bo**
We're number one!
**[13:21] Todo**
Idiots!
**[13:22] Gyataro**
Ow!
**[13:25] Todo**
We can't raid the Shirakawaya
without any evidence.
**[13:28] Ichibanboshi**
We can figure that out while we're there.
**[13:30] Todo**
You just want to see your brother again.
**[13:33] Ichibanboshi**
I'm gonna ask Tsukito why he did it.
**[13:36] Sakuya**
Supposing the Shirakawaya really is an
enemy stronghold, how many are there?
**[13:40] Sakuya**
Are there any civilians present?
**[13:41] Sakuya**
How do you know your brother is there?
**[13:44] Sakuya**
You'd never get the chance to talk to him.
**[13:45] Sakuya**
You'd only suffer a disgraceful defeat.
**[13:47] Ichibanboshi**
Shut up!
**[13:48] Akira**
Patience, Ichibanboshi.
**[13:50] Akira**
I'm sorry you met your brother
again under those circumstances.
**[13:55] Akira**
But for now...
**[13:56] Suzuran**
That's right. We don't know yet that the
Shirakawaya is up to anything shady.
**[14:00] Suzuran**
And you may have been
named after Kondo Isami,
***SIGN*** Isami Kondo
**[14:04] Suzuran**
but I can't "Kondone" your rash behavior.
***SIGN*** Kondone
**[14:08] Suzuran**
Huh? What?
**[14:09] Suzuran**
Was my joke really that bad? Huh?
**[14:12] Todo**
The Shirakawaya is one of a few
large shops in the capital.
**[14:15] Todo**
If we're wrong, it could mean
trouble for Matsudaira Katamori,
**[14:19] Todo**
who directs the Shinsengumi.
**[14:21] Todo**
We need evidence first. Got it?
**[14:24] All**
Yes, sir.
**[14:26] Gyataro**
If it's information we need, then
we should see what they have to say.
**[14:29] Bo**
Let's go see the kids.
**[14:31] Akira**
I'll look into my own leads, too.
**[14:34] Sogen**
What should we do?
**[14:36] Suzuran**
We'll have to walk around the city and see
if my sword responds to any other places.
**[14:43] Ichibanboshi**
Get out of my way.
**[14:44] Sakuya**
Do you intend to go to the Shirakawaya alone?
**[14:47] Sakuya**
Your selfish actions will
cause trouble for everyone.
**[14:50] Todo**
Ichibanboshi, you've lost your head
over the incident with your brother.
**[14:54] Todo**
I don't want you doing anything.
**[14:56] Todo**
I'm forbidding you from leaving
our headquarters. That's an order.
**[15:00] Ichibanboshi**
Damn it!
**[15:11] Streetwalker**
Looking for a good time, Mr. Samurai?
**[15:15] Akira**
Actually, I—
**[15:16] Streetwalker**
Is this your first time seeing
a working woman like me?
**[15:20] Akira**
I'm actually meeting someone here.
**[15:23] Streetwalker**
Thanks for waiting, Okita Soji.
**[15:26] Akira**
You're...
**[15:29] Akira**
Hey, wait!
**[15:30] Akira**
What are you doing?
**[15:33] Katsura**
You're the one who requested
a clandestine meeting.
**[15:36] Katsura**
That's why I'm here.
**[15:38] Akira**
There's nothing clandestine
about this meeting.
**[15:39] Akira**
I'm here to clarify once and for all—
**[15:41] Katsura**
But aren't things more fun
when they're not cut and dry?
**[15:45] Katsura**
Well? You have something
to ask me, don't you?
**[15:48] Akira**
Yes. The truth is...
**[15:52] Katsura**
The Shirakawaya, huh?
**[15:54] Akira**
We don't know why,
**[15:56] Akira**
but we believe they've made some
kind of deal with the Masked Demons.
**[16:00] Katsura**
It's true that the rumors I hear about
the Shirakawaya aren't very positive.
**[16:03] Katsura**
They've made a killing by unfairly
raising the price on kerosene.
**[16:09] Akira**
Kerosene?
**[16:12] Akira**
Hey, what are you—
**[16:16] Ronin A**
It's the middle of the day, and
they're already going at it.
**[16:20] Katsura**
Don't look.
**[16:23] Katsura**
Sorry. Be patient for a moment.
**[16:27] Akira**
Fine.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Ichibanboshi? Tsukito?
**[16:35] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Dad**
Did you get in a fight again, Ichibanboshi?
**[16:37] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Mom**
Look at you.
**[16:39] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
It's Tsukito's fault.
**[16:42] (Flashback) Tsuki**
I... I...
**[16:44] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Dad**
Ichibanboshi, we know you're
undefeated around here.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Mom**
But it's Tsukito who's strong.
**[16:52] (Flashback) Tsukito**
What?
**[16:53] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Why? I'm number one.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Mom**
Because no matter how much
he's hit, kicked, or insulted,
**[16:59] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Mom**
Tsukito endures it and doesn't fight.
**[17:02] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi Mom**
That makes him the strongest.
**[17:11] Sakuya**
You can practice all you want,
but there's no point.
**[17:14] Ichibanboshi**
Shut up.
**[17:15] Sakuya**
Your brother killed your mother
and sided with the enemy.
**[17:19] Sakuya**
Why do you hesitate?
Why don't you try to kill him?
**[17:22] Sakuya**
You need to steel your resolve.
**[17:24] Ichibanboshi**
There must be some reason he did it.
**[17:26] Ichibanboshi**
Otherwise, Tsukito never would've done that.
**[17:29] Sakuya**
So you're going to talk to him about it?
**[17:31] Sakuya**
Such a lukewarm attitude. If you
don't kill him, he'll kill you.
**[17:33] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not like you! You killed your own father!
**[17:39] Sakuya**
He didn't deserve to live.
**[17:42] Sakuya**
He was the embodiment of this shitty
world you're always complaining about,
**[17:45] Sakuya**
like Rashomaru is now.
**[17:48] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito's different. He's not a piece of shit.
**[17:52] Ichibanboshi**
He's a kind man.
**[17:55] Sakuya**
I know because I've fought against him.
**[17:57] Sakuya**
He fights like a demon who's
killed countless people.
**[18:03] Sakuya**
He lost his humanity a long time ago.
**[18:09] Sakuya**
If you won't kill him,
then I'll kill Rashomaru myself.
**[18:13] Sakuya**
I came to tell you that.
**[18:21] Sakuya**
If he's useless on our next mission,
then I'll kill Dumboshi first.
**[18:27] Sakuya**
Those who can't follow orders
should be dealt with immediately.
**[18:37] Sogen**
Regarding your question about
the existence of souls...
**[18:41] Suzuran**
Yeah?
**[18:42] Sogen**
Are you aware that when people die,
they become about five momme lighter?
**[18:47] Suzuran**
I didn't know that. Is that widely known?
**[18:50] Sogen**
Among those who study medicine, yes.
**[18:53] Suzuran**
Hold on. Have you measured that yourself?
**[18:55] Sogen**
Yes, with about a hundred bodies.
**[18:58] Sogen**
There was some variation, but they all
lost roughly the same amount of weight.
**[19:02] Suzuran**
So those five momme a person loses
when they die is their soul?
**[19:08] Sogen**
I had the same thought.
**[19:10] Sogen**
Souls may not be visible,
but perhaps they have weight.
**[19:15] Suzuran**
Interesting.
**[19:16] Sogen**
That sword...
**[19:18] Suzuran**
Saito Hajime-san's Kijinmaru Kunishige.
**[19:21] Suzuran**
You modified it so it would carry
an electric current, right?
**[19:27] Sogen**
Yes. Normally electricity isn't
visible, but its power moves objects.
**[19:34] Suzuran**
Like a soul.
**[19:35] Sogen**
Yes. Souls work in the same way.
**[19:38] Sogen**
Perhaps they're a power source.
**[19:42] Suzuran**
A power source?
**[19:43] Sogen**
Yes. Not only that, but a mere five momme
has the power to move an entire human.
**[19:50] Sogen**
Electricity can't compare.
**[19:52] Suzuran**
Is that what they're trying to do?
**[19:56] Suzuran**
Use souls as a power source?
**[19:58] Sogen**
But how do they collect and store the souls?
**[20:02] Suzuran**
Maybe the answer to that question
is inside the Shirakawaya.
**[20:13] Sogen**
This is the place.
**[20:17] Sogen**
Well, well...
**[20:18] Sogen**
If the Masked Demons themselves
showed up to attack us...
**[20:22] Suzuren**
Then we were right about the Shirakawaya.
**[20:25] Masked Demon**
You're not getting past that door.
**[20:28] Sogen**
Your mysterious swords killed Mokichi-san.
**[20:36] Sogen**
Remember this.
**[20:39] Sogen**
There's nothing a doctor hates more
than losing a patient they've treated!
**[20:46] Suzuran**
And priests hate seeing restless
souls treated so disrespectfully!
**[20:55] Masked Demon**
Give your lives for the nation!
**[21:04] Tsuchimikado**
So Kondo Isami's substitute is your brother.
**[21:08] Rashomaru**
Yes.
**[21:10] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, you must hate me.
**[21:15] Rashomaru**
What are you talking about?
**[21:17] Rashomaru**
You're the one who gave me the name
Rashomaru and a noble mission.
**[21:22] Rashomaru**
I have no reason to hate you.
**[21:26] Tsuchimikado**
What shall we do with
Kondo Isami's substitute?
**[21:31] Rashomaru**
If he aims to ruin our plans,
then I'll kill him.
**[21:38] Suzuran**
We're back.
**[21:40] Todo**
What happened?
**[21:42] Sogen**
We were attacked by Masked Demons.
**[21:44] Suzuran**
While scouting out the Shirakawaya.
**[21:47] Akira**
That makes things clear.
**[21:49] Todo**
Tomorrow night, the Shinsengumi is
going to the Shirakawaya on a job.
**[21:53] Todo**
Make sure you're well-prepared.
**[21:56] All**
Yes, sir.
**[21:59] Todo**
Ichibanboshi.
**[22:00] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah?
**[22:01] Todo**
You're staying here.
**[22:03] Ichibanboshi**
What?
**[22:04] Todo**
You're not going on tomorrow night's job.
**[22:09] Todo**
I can't allow someone so
flippant to wield Kotetsu.

**[00:19] Todo**
Make sure you're well-prepared.
**[00:22] All**
Yes, sir.
**[00:24] Todo**
Ichibanboshi.
**[00:25] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah?
**[00:26] Todo**
You're staying here.
**[00:28] Ichibanboshi**
What?
**[00:29] Todo**
You're not going on tomorrow night's job.
**[00:33] Todo**
I can't allow someone so
flippant to wield Kotetsu.
**[00:39] Ichibanboshi**
I'm being taken off the job
for a dumb reason like that?
**[00:42] Todo**
Silence! You know it's true.
**[00:45] Gyataro**
It feels kinda lame to do a
job without our commander.
**[00:49] Bo**
I want Ichibanboshi to come with us, too.
**[00:51] Suzuran**
Yeah. It's kind of a downer without him.
**[00:54] Sogen**
His ideas are interesting.
**[00:56] Sogen**
It is necessary to be flexible
when handling situations.
**[01:01] Akira**
Ichibanboshi did an excellent
job at the Yoshidaya.
**[01:04] Akira**
You mustn't be rash in
your assessment of him.
**[01:07] Sakuya**
The Shirakawaya is the Demons' lair.
**[01:10] Sakuya**
We don't need anyone who would hold us
back in a potentially fatal bloodbath.
**[01:13] Todo**
Sakuya's right.
**[01:15] Todo**
Is there anyone here who feels
comfortable counting on Ichibanboshi
**[01:19] Todo**
when he's distracted and
agitated by his brother?
**[01:24] Todo**
We're done here.

Raid! The Crooked Shirakawaya
**[03:04] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, put out your hand.
**[03:06] (Flashback) Tsukito**
My hand?
**[03:07] (Flashback) Tsukito**
What is it, brother?
**[03:10] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Here.
**[03:12] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Wow!
**[03:13] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Looks good, right?
**[03:15] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Huh? Where's yours?
**[03:17] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
What? Oh, I already ate mine.
**[03:21] (Flashback) Tsukito**
In that case...
**[03:24] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Here.
**[03:25] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
I told you, that's your share.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Food tastes better when
you're eating with someone.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Fine, then.
**[03:40] Ichibanboshi**
I *know* it.
**[03:43] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito's a nice guy.
**[03:47] Ichibanboshi**
Nicer than anyone! The nicest!
**[03:50] Male Customer**
Uh, yeah.
**[03:52] Barkeeper**
Sir, you've had too much to drink.
**[03:54] Ichibanboshi**
How could I abandon him?
**[03:56] Barkeeper**
What?
**[03:56] Ichibanboshi**
We've been together ever since
we were born. We're family.
**[04:01] Ichibanboshi**
For him, I'd...
**[04:03] Uchiyama**
Exactly.
**[04:06] Uchiyama**
Nothing's more important than family.
**[04:08] Ichibanboshi**
Huh?
**[04:09] Uchiyama**
Blood relatives give us peace of mind, love,
**[04:13] Uchiyama**
and the courage to keep on going.
**[04:17] Ichibanboshi**
Here's someone who gets it.
**[04:20] Uchiyama**
My name is Uchiyama Hikojiro.
**[04:22] Ichibanboshi**
I'm Ichibanboshi. Nice to meet you.
**[04:24] Uchiyama**
Likewise.
**[04:29] Uchiyama**
I'm like you.
**[04:31] Uchiyama**
I've done anything and
everything for my sister.
**[04:35] Ichibanboshi**
Sounds like you've been through a lot, too.
**[04:38] Uchiyama**
But that's all over now. Okayo's engaged.
**[04:42] Ichibanboshi**
That's great news.
Let's go for another round.
**[04:47] Uchiyama**
It's morning already.
All the bars are closed.
**[04:50] Uchiyama**
And besides, I've some minor
business to attend to.
**[04:54] Ichibanboshi**
I see.
**[04:55] Ichibanboshi**
Then let's go drinking again sometime.
You and I get along great.
**[04:58] Uchiyama**
Let us both continue protecting
our families, Ichibanboshi.
**[05:01] Ichibanboshi**
You bet, Hikojiro.
***SIGN*** Shirakawaya
**[05:13] Tsuchimikado**
In other words, you wish to cut ties with us?
**[05:16] Uchiyama**
I no longer need to push myself so hard.
**[05:18] Uchiyama**
I want this job to be my last.
**[05:20] Uchiyama**
Naturally, I won't tell anyone
about anything I've done until now.
**[05:24] Tsuchimikado**
There's no point in trying to
stop someone who wants to quit.
**[05:28] Tsuchimikado**
We'll search for other partners.
**[05:30] Uchiyama**
In that case, farewell.
**[05:37] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru...
**[05:38] Rashomaru**
Yes, sir. Leave it to me.
***SIGN*** Shirakawaya
**[06:01] Uchiyama**
I'm back.
**[06:03] Okayo**
Brother, welcome back.
**[06:09] Okayo**
You were out all night again.
**[06:10] Uchiyama**
At least let me drink on my days off.
**[06:14] Uchiyama**
I met an interesting fellow at the bar.
**[06:18] Okayo**
Well, you're in a good mood. How unusual.
**[06:21] Uchiyama**
By the way, Okayo,
**[06:24] Uchiyama**
the Gion Festival is coming up.
**[06:26] Okayo**
Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
**[06:28] Uchiyama**
You should leave Kyoto for a while.
**[06:30] Okayo**
What? But I've already made
plans with my friends.
**[06:33] Uchiyama**
You have to leave.
**[06:39] Gyataro**
All right, boys! Let's do this!
**[06:42] All**
Yeah!
**[06:44] Member 1**
Nagakura-san, I don't see Commander Kondo.
**[06:47] Gyataro**
Oh, yeah. He's, uh...
**[06:51] Akira**
The Commander isn't coming
because he doesn't feel well.
**[06:54] Bo**
Doesn't feel well?
**[06:56] Member 1**
I see.
**[06:58] Sogen**
If they'd told me beforehand,
**[07:00] Sogen**
I could've given him a medicine that
would've caused actual symptoms of illness.
**[07:03] Suzuran**
Wouldn't that just be poison?
**[07:07] Sogen**
Poison and medicine are two
sides of the same coin.
**[07:10] Gyataro**
Man, this really is no fun without him.
**[07:14] Bo**
Yeah.
**[07:15] Sakuya**
If you're looking to
make friends, go somewhere else.
**[07:18] Gyataro**
You're getting real cocky, aren't you?
**[07:22] Sakuya**
Are you trying to die before the job begins?
**[07:25] Sakuya**
I don't mind either way.
**[07:27] Gyataro**
You wanna go?
**[07:28] Gyataro**
You may be an expert swordsman,
**[07:31] Gyataro**
but you don't stand a chance
against projectile weapons.
**[07:40] Todo**
How long are you going
to stand around chatting?
**[07:42] Todo**
The continued existence of the
Shinsengumi depends on this job.
**[07:45] Todo**
Pull yourselves together.
**[07:49] Todo**
Understood.
**[07:52] Todo**
We've received word from Okita
Soji and the inspectors that the
**[07:54] Todo**
Shirakawaya has been making a killing
by manipulating the price of kerosene.
**[08:01] Akira**
They're probably funding the Masked Demons.
**[08:04] Suzuran**
Why haven't they been arrested for it?
**[08:07] Todo**
Because the town magistrate, Uchiyama
Hikojiro, who should be keeping them in line
**[08:11] Todo**
is pulling strings behind the scenes.
**[08:12] Gyataro**
So they're free to do whatever they want.
**[08:16] Todo**
Uchiyama's wrongdoings justify our raid.
**[08:20] Todo**
Therefore, it is imperative
that we not kill Uchiyama.
**[08:23] Todo**
He must be captured alive and
made to confess his crimes.
**[08:27] Todo**
Got it?
**[08:29] All**
Yes, sir!
**[08:38] Tsukito**
Ma!
**[08:39] Ichibanboshi Mom**
Tsukito!
***SIGN*** Shirakawaya
**[09:07] Todo**
Low-ranking members, to the annex.
**[09:09] All**
Yes, sir!
**[09:10] Todo**
Captains, we'll search the main building.
**[09:13] Todo**
Law enforcement! Open up!
**[09:15] Todo**
Search the rooms.
**[09:24] Gyataro**
We didn't find anyone.
**[09:26] Akira**
Neither did I.
**[09:27] Sogen**
Why did they flee?
**[09:29] Suzuran**
Did they know we were coming?
**[09:32] Todo**
Could it be?
**[09:34] Sakuya**
Todo.
**[09:37] Sakuya**
The rest of you, this way.
**[09:41] Sakuya**
Look at this.
**[09:42] Todo**
Is that metal?
**[09:43] Akira**
It looks like a door.
**[09:45] Gyataro**
These barrels are in the way. All you, Bo.
**[09:53] Todo**
A basement?
**[09:58] Suzuran**
Listen to that sound.
**[09:59] Sogen**
Judging by the echo,
it's rather spacious down there.
**[10:03] Sakuya**
There could still be something down there
they weren't able to move elsewhere.
**[10:07] Todo**
But this lock is blocking our path.
**[10:10] Gyataro**
Ta-dah!
**[10:12] Gyataro**
I can get this thing open easy-peasy.
**[10:17] Gyataro**
Gyataro, you're not a criminal anymore.
**[10:20] Suzuran**
Now, now. Don't be so uptight.
**[10:40] Akira**
It's rather deep.
**[10:42] Bo**
How far does it go?
**[10:44] Gyataro**
All the way down to hell.
**[10:53] Sogen**
I wouldn't recommend taking flames
inside a kerosene warehouse.
**[10:57] Suzuran**
But if we put them out,
we won't be able to see.
**[11:01] Suzuran**
Huh? Hold on.
**[11:15] Todo**
What is this?

**[11:27] Gyataro**
That's one creepy painting.
**[11:29] Bo**
Scary.
**[11:30] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, this section
almost looks like bonji.
**[11:37] Suzuran**
If I had to choose,
I'd say it looks like āk.
**[11:40] Sakuya**
Does that mean anything?
**[11:42] Suzuran**
Well, there's the Nyorai's on
abokya shitsudei aku mantra.
**[11:45] Suzuran**
And in the Five Buddhas of the Womb
Realm mandala, it represents north.
**[11:51] Suzuran**
You have no idea what I'm
talking about, do you?
**[11:54] Suzuran**
But it does kind of look
like it was drawn at random.
**[11:58] Suzuran**
Huh?
**[12:02] Todo**
Let's keep going.
**[12:15] Akira**
Is this the source of the sound?
**[12:17] Sogen**
Now, this is an interesting device.
**[12:20] Suzuran**
Sogen-chan, can you tell what it's used for?
**[12:24] Sogen**
No, I haven't the slightest idea.
**[12:26] Sogen**
But that's what makes it so interesting.
**[12:29] Rashomaru**
You wanna know what this is?
**[12:34] Rashomaru**
You were fools to come to
this place, Shinsengumi.
**[12:41] Rashomaru**
What? Why isn't Kondo Isami with you?
**[12:45] Rashomaru**
Did he lose his nerve?
**[12:47] Bo**
Ichibanboshi is no coward!
**[12:50] Rashomaru**
Oh? So you admire him, do you?
**[12:57] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito.
**[12:58] Rashomaru**
This is how you use this device.
**[13:17] Todo**
Bastard! What are you doing?
**[13:21] Rashomaru**
You'll find out once you've
died and become souls.
**[13:26] Rashomaru**
So I'll do you the favor of killing you.
**[13:30] Gyataro**
We're playing hide and seek now?
**[13:34] Akira**
Watch out!
**[13:36] Gyataro**
Asshole!
**[13:37] Akira**
Don't shoot in here.
You'll ignite the kerosene.
**[13:40] Gyataro**
Damn it. Fine.
**[13:47] Rashomaru**
You can see me?
**[13:51] Sogen**
You smell like blood.
**[13:53] Rashomaru**
Oh, yeah?
**[14:01] Rashomaru**
That's it, Hijikata-kun.
**[14:04] Rashomaru**
You're a strong one.
**[14:06] Rashomaru**
You should quit the Shinsengumi
and join us instead.
**[14:10] Sakuya**
I could never wear one
of your lame-ass masks.
**[14:16] Todo**
To me, everyone! If we separate,
we'll be playing into his hands!
**[14:22] Rashomaru**
You can turn criminals into substitutes,
**[14:24] Rashomaru**
but unless they're strong,
it's all over for you!
**[14:32] Todo**
What?
***SIGN*** Shirakawaya
**[14:39] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito! Where are you?
**[14:45] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[14:47] Rashomaru**
I told you, I no longer go by that name.
**[14:51] Ichibanboshi**
Why'd you join the Masked Demons?
**[14:53] Ichibanboshi**
Are they threatening you?
**[14:54] Ichibanboshi**
You're too nice. You'd never
do anything like that.
**[14:58] Rashomaru**
The person I am now is the real me.
**[15:01] Ichibanboshi**
No. You're wrong.
**[15:02] Rashomaru**
I used this blade that slew
our father to kill our mother.
**[15:07] Rashomaru**
And that's not all...
**[15:09] Rashomaru**
Killing a great many people
causes me no anguish.
**[15:13] Rashomaru**
If anything, I believe it is my true purpose.
**[15:18] Rashomaru**
Your companions are down there.
**[15:22] Rashomaru**
If you don't hurry up and rescue them,
they'll be burnt to a crisp.
**[15:27] Ichibanboshi**
What did you say?
**[15:39] Gyataro**
Damn it. It's locked.
**[15:42] Todo**
We'll find another way out.
**[15:44] Sakuya**
If there is one.
**[15:46] Suzuran**
What? But the flames are right behind us.
**[15:48] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[15:50] Bo**
I hear Ichibanboshi.
**[15:53] Todo**
What? But he's not allowed
to leave headquarters.
**[15:56] Gyataro**
He's here? Hey, Ichibanboshi!
**[16:00] Gyataro**
Open this door!
**[16:03] Rashomaru**
Your friends are calling you.
**[16:05] Rashomaru**
Now draw your sword and fight me.
**[16:15] Ichibanboshi**
I can't kill you.
**[16:17] Rashomaru**
So you'll abandon them? How cruel.
**[16:21] Rashomaru**
Your companions spoke so
highly of you, Kondo Isami.
**[16:25] Ichibanboshi**
Why are you doing this?
I want to rescue my allies.
**[16:29] Ichibanboshi**
But I don't want to kill you.
**[16:33] Ichibanboshi**
I want to help you, too.
**[16:35] Rashomaru**
You've lived a soft life.
**[16:39] Rashomaru**
The world isn't so convenient.
**[16:45] Rashomaru**
Well, I figured this might happen.
**[16:48] Rashomaru**
Come on out.
**[16:54] Uchiyama**
Ichibanboshi?
**[16:56] Ichibanboshi**
Hikojiro?
**[16:57] Ichibanboshi**
What are you doing here?
**[16:59] Uchiyama**
What are you doing here?
**[17:01] Rashomaru**
This is the late Shinsengumi
commander Kondo Isami's substitute.
**[17:08] Uchiyama**
Substitute?
**[17:09] Rashomaru**
And this is the town
magistrate, Uchiyama Hikojiro,
**[17:13] Rashomaru**
who's been making dirty money with the
Shirakawaya to help his dear little sister.
**[17:17] Ichibanboshi**
You? You can't be serious.
**[17:19] Uchiyama**
I told you, I'd do anything for Okayo.
**[17:28] Rashomaru**
Uchiyama.
**[17:30] Rashomaru**
Kill him. Don't give him the key.
**[17:33] Rashomaru**
Then we'll allow you to
withdraw from our deal.
**[17:36] Rashomaru**
Try to run, and we'll kill your sister.
**[17:42] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami's substitute,
kill Uchiyama and take the key.
**[17:48] Rashomaru**
Don't you want to save your friends?
**[17:56] Ichibanboshi**
No, Hikojiro. Don't do this!
**[17:58] Ichibanboshi**
I can't fight a friend.
**[18:02] Rashomaru**
Don't be such a wimp.
**[18:05] Rashomaru**
I'm sure you can handle killing a friend.
**[18:07] Rashomaru**
I had to kill our mother!
**[18:10] Rashomaru**
Back then, I...
**[18:24] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Boy, step forward.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Step forward.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Ma...
**[18:40] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Use that sword to kill your mother.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Do it, and you'll be spared.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Kill your mother so that you can live.
**[18:55] Rashomaru**
With my own two hands, I killed her.
**[18:59] Ichibanboshi**
You...
**[19:01] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami, hurry up and kill Uchiyama
so you can rescue your friends.
**[19:07] Rashomaru**
Watching you is a truly
aggravating experience.
**[19:12] Uchiyama**
I'll kill you for Okayo's sake!
**[19:16] Ichibanboshi**
Hikojiro, don't do this.
**[19:19] Ichibanboshi**
Stop! Don't!
**[19:31] Gyataro**
It's no use.
**[19:32] Akira**
Is that really Ichibanboshi?
**[19:34] Todo**
I told him not to come.
**[19:37] Sakuya**
Dumboshi doesn't matter right now.
**[19:39] Sakuya**
We need to come up with
a way to get out of here.
**[19:42] Sogen**
I have an idea.
**[19:54] Akira**
It's getting hard to breathe.
**[19:56] Sogen**
The flames are consuming
the oxygen in the basement.
**[20:00] Sogen**
Soon, all the oxygen will be gone
and we won't be able to breathe.
**[20:04] Todo**
Then we must hurry.
**[20:06] Sogen**
Before I light this, I must warn you.
**[20:10] Sogen**
Once the door above us explodes,
**[20:11] Sogen**
the oxygen outside will rush
into the basement all at once.
**[20:15] Suzuren**
And then?
**[20:16] Sogen**
The flames will increase in intensity.
**[20:19] Akira**
Even more than now?
**[20:20] Sakuya**
Death by explosion or death by fire.
**[20:23] Gyataro**
Then we'll have to brace ourselves...
**[20:26] Bo**
...to run into the explosion.
**[20:28] Sogen**
Fire in the hole.
**[20:32] Todo**
Run!
**[20:39] Todo**
Keep going!
**[20:43] Todo**
Outside, quickly!
**[20:50] Bo**
Ichibanboshi!
**[20:51] Gyataro**
He really did come!
**[20:53] Todo**
This is a breach of discipline!
You'll be punished accordingly!
**[21:03] Uchiyama**
Okayo...
**[21:05] Uchiyama**
I wish I could've seen you
dressed all in white...
**[21:13] Todo**
Uchiyama Hikojiro?
**[21:15] Akira**
Ichibanboshi, why?
**[21:19] Ichibanboshi**
We drank together. We laughed together.
**[21:24] Ichibanboshi**
I thought we were getting along.
I thought we'd become friends.
***SIGN*** Kerosene
**[21:50] Gyataro**
So our raid was for nothing.
**[21:52] Akira**
On top of that, the Shirakawaya will burn
to the ground, destroying the evidence.
**[21:56] Suzuran**
And the man we were supposed
to capture alive is dead.
**[22:01] Sakuya**
Can we even come back from this failure?
**[22:06] Todo**
The Shinsengumi
**[22:09] Todo**
will be disbanded.

Prevent! The Dissolution of the Shinsengumi
**[02:45] Gyataro**
If the Shinsengumi is disbanded,
we'll go back to being criminals, right?
**[02:51] Gyataro**
And then...
**[02:53] Bo**
Beheaded.
**[02:54] Sogen**
All we can do is wait until
the official word is given.
**[02:58] Suzuran**
We'll get more than a slap on the wrist.
**[03:00] Akira**
The Shirakawaya burned to the ground.
**[03:02] Akira**
Its connections to the Masked
Demons went up in flames,
**[03:04] Akira**
not to mention the magical swords.
**[03:07] Akira**
If only some evidence of their
kerosene price gouging had remained.
**[03:12] Sakuya**
This wouldn't have happened
if Dumboshi had killed
**[03:15] Sakuya**
Rashomaru instead of Uchiyama Hikojiro.
**[03:18] Bo**
It's not easy to kill a brother.
**[03:21] Gyataro**
Whining about that now won't do any good.
**[03:25] Sakuya**
It's the Shinsengumi's mission.
**[03:29] Suzuran**
Sakuya-chan, where are you going?
**[03:41] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
I used this blade that slew
our father to kill our mother.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
And that's not all...
**[03:47] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
Killing a great many people
causes me no anguish.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
If anything, I believe it is my true purpose.
**[04:01] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya...
**[04:04] Sakuya**
Have you steeled your resolve?
**[04:06] Ichibanboshi**
What resolve?
**[04:08] Sakuya**
Kill Rashomaru with your own two hands.
**[04:13] Katamori**
I'm the one who sought to preserve
the Shinsengumi, even if it meant
**[04:17] Katamori**
recruiting criminals, so peace and
order could be maintained in Kyoto.
**[04:20] Katamori**
But this situation is very bad for us, Todo.
**[04:23] Todo**
I have no excuse to offer you.
**[04:25] Akizuki**
Ultimately, criminals are criminals.
**[04:28] Akizuki**
Katamori, going forward, you should allow
the Mimawarigumi to protect the capital.
**[04:32] Katamori**
Have the Shogun's retainers assembled?
**[04:34] Akizuki**
The matter hasn't been decided yet,
**[04:36] Akizuki**
but I can't allow a group
of libertines to continue
**[04:39] Akizuki**
tarnishing the Aizu Domain's name.
**[04:43] Todo**
It would be an insult to
the late Commander Kondo
**[04:45] Todo**
and the captains if the
Shinsengumi were disbanded.
**[04:48] Todo**
Allow me to commit seppuku instead so that—
**[04:51] Akizuki**
What good would it do to kill
the sole remaining survivor?
**[04:54] Katamori**
Todo, this isn't a matter that can be
resolved by you sacrificing your life.
**[04:58] Katamori**
I have no choice but to punish the group.
**[05:01] Katamori**
Restore the Shinsengumi's honor.
**[05:03] Katamori**
Otherwise, it'll be disbanded.
**[05:05] Katamori**
You have three days.
**[05:07] Katamori**
Understood?
**[05:09] Todo**
Understood.
**[05:12] Ichibanboshi**
You want me to kill Tsukito?
**[05:15] Sakuya**
The Shinsengumi is in danger of
being disbanded because of you.
**[05:18] Sakuya**
You must distinguish yourself by killing
Rashomaru, Captain of the Masked Demons.
**[05:24] Ichibanboshi**
I know Tsukito better than anyone.
**[05:26] Ichibanboshi**
If we could just talk
things out, I know he—
**[05:28] Sakuya**
His name isn't Tsukito!
**[05:32] Sakuya**
You're his older brother.
It's your job to kill him.
**[05:34] Sakuya**
Your miserable little brother who
has lost touch of his humanity.
**[05:38] Sakuya**
And if you can't do that, then stay here
spewing nonsense until the day you die.
***SIGN*** Sincerity
**[05:46] Gyataro**
What? A mere...
**[05:48] Bo**
Three days?
**[05:50] Suzuran**
We're supposed to achieve
something in that time?
**[05:52] Sogen**
That's rather harsh, coming from Katamori.
**[05:55] Akira**
He's practically telling us it's
inevitable we'll be disbanded.
**[05:58] Gyataro**
In any case, let's patrol the city!
**[06:00] Bo**
Patrol!
**[06:01] Gyataro**
Arrest every last suspicious
character you see!
**[06:03] Akira**
Calm down. Acting rashly
would be counterproductive.
**[06:06] Akira**
The Shinsengumi's already tarnished
name would be ruined completely.
**[06:09] Suzuran**
But we can't afford to waste any time.
**[06:12] Sogen**
And we have no leads on how
we can restore our honor.
**[06:15] Sakuya**
I do.
**[06:19] Gyataro**
We're in the middle of
a crisis. Where have you been?
**[06:24] Sakuya**
A sword polisher told me
**[06:26] Sakuya**
he sharpened Miyabe Teizo's sword yesterday.
**[06:30] Todo**
Miyabe is a royalist from the Higo Domain.
**[06:33] Todo**
He's an anti-shogunate extremist.
**[06:36] Akira**
I thought the anti-shogunate Choshu Domain
**[06:39] Akira**
was thrown out of the capital on
August 18th, when the government changed.
**[06:45] Suzuran**
If he's snuck back into the city...
**[06:47] Sogen**
The he must be plotting something.
**[06:50] Sakuya**
The sword polisher said he sharpened
not just Miyabe's sword,
**[06:52] Sakuya**
but the swords of his companions as well.
**[06:54] Sakuya**
All together, there were 25 of them.
**[06:56] Akira**
That many?
**[06:58] Todo**
If a group of extremist ronin
have returned to the capital,
**[07:01] Todo**
and are working with the Masked Demons...
**[07:03] Gyataro**
Then we know what we need to do.
**[07:15] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito...
**[07:20] Ichibanboshi**
If I have to kill Tsukito, I'd rather...
**[07:25] Gyataro**
We'll make our comeback by
arresting Miyabe and his guys.
**[07:29] Bo**
Yeah.
**[07:30] Suzuran**
The Shinsengumi's going to survive.
**[07:32] Sogen**
Let's begin by gathering information.
**[07:36] Todo**
The Shinsengumi will now begin pursuing
Miyabe and his extremist group.
**[07:40] Todo**
Don't let your guard down.
**[07:42] All**
Yes, sir.
**[07:44] Bo**
What about Ichibanboshi?
**[07:46] Todo**
Not him.
**[07:48] Akira**
The more of us there are, the better.
**[07:50] Suzuran**
That's right. Besides, he's our commander.
**[07:52] Todo**
Whose fault do you think it is
that we're in this situation?
**[07:56] Sogen**
We also had a hand in the
fire at the Shirakawaya.
**[08:00] Sogen**
It wasn't just Ichibanboshi-dono's fault.
**[08:02] Todo**
Enough. If we make it out of this crisis,
Ichibanboshi will commit seppuku.
**[08:07] Bo**
Seppuku...
**[08:09] Member**
It's an emergency.
**[08:10] Todo**
What is it?
**[08:11] Member**
Please come to the confinement
cell immediately.
**[08:13] Member**
It's Commander Kondo.
**[08:21] Bo**
He's not here.
**[08:23] Todo**
He escaped?
**[08:25] Gyataro**
Aw, man. Look at the mess he made.
**[08:28] Gyataro**
That was pretty clever of him.
**[08:32] Gyataro**
He broke a dish and used the
shards to dig a hole in the wall.
**[08:35] Akira**
We don't have time to chase
down a fugitive right now.
**[08:38] Todo**
I know. We'll have others
search for Ichibanboshi.
**[08:42] Todo**
I need you lot to investigate Miyabe ASAP.
**[08:52] Suzuran**
Aren't you the one who brought him his meal?
**[08:56] Suzuran**
Why did you show him how to escape?
**[08:59] Sakuya**
What are you talking about?
**[09:02] Suzuran**
Did you tell him to handle his
brother's misdeeds himself?
**[09:07] Sakuya**
Stay out of it.
**[09:12] Suzuran**
Not everyone is as strong as you.
**[09:14] Suzuran**
We can't all live as you do.
**[09:25] Member**
Have you seen him?
**[09:26] Member**
No.
**[09:27] Member**
Where is he?
**[09:28] Member**
Find him.

**[09:58] Sogen**
I spoke with the Dutch scholars
and physicians I know,
**[10:01] Sogen**
but failed to gather any information.
**[10:02] Sogen**
What about you, Suzuran-dono?
**[10:04] Suzuran**
Same. I asked a bunch of geishas
I know, but I got nothing.
***SIGN*** Offering Lantern
**[10:10] Sogen**
The city is buzzing with energy these days.
**[10:13] Suzuran**
The Gion Festival is the day after tomorrow.
**[10:15] Suzuran**
Tomorrow is the yoiyama.
**[10:16] Sogen**
Yoiyama?
**[10:18] Suzuran**
The festival eve.
**[10:20] Sogen**
I see. Since long ago, the capital has stood
on a marsh, making disease spread easily.
**[10:25] Sogen**
That's why they hold a festival
around this time of year.
**[10:27] Suzuran**
Festivals are for putting the
souls of the dead to rest.
**[10:33] Suzuran**
Let's hurry.
**[10:35] Suzuran**
I'm not interested in watching
the festival from the afterlife.
**[10:40] Gyataro**
Ronin from other domains?
**[10:43] Tamekichi**
Choshu, Satsuma, Higo, and Tosa.
**[10:46] Tamekichi**
Guys with all kinds of crazy
accents are gathering.
**[10:48] Gyataro**
Sounds shady to me.
**[10:50] Gyataro**
What's Miyabe planning?
**[10:53] Tamekichi**
You'd better watch out, Gyata-nii.
**[10:55] Gyataro**
I know, but I don't have
time to take things slow.
**[11:00] Katsura**
I feel relaxed on boats.
**[11:04] Katsura**
The only thing agitating me right
now is the beautiful woman with me.
**[11:08] Akira**
We don't need to worry about being
overheard if we talk on a moving boat.
**[11:12] Akira**
It's the perfect place for
a secret conversation.
**[11:15] Akira**
Let's get down to business.
**[11:18] Akira**
I don't have time for your nonsense.
**[11:21] Katsura**
I know Miyabe Teizo well.
**[11:23] Katsura**
He not only deceived my fellow
Choshu Domain countrymen,
**[11:27] Katsura**
but attempted to recruit me as well.
**[11:29] Akira**
Does he have any connections
to the Masked Demons?
**[11:31] Katsura**
If the Shinsengumi is looking
to distinguish itself,
**[11:34] Katsura**
then you should pay him a visit
and find out for yourselves.
**[11:36] Katsura**
You'll want to visit Masuya,
the ink wholesaler.
**[11:39] Akira**
Masuya, huh? I appreciate it.
**[11:44] Katsura**
So, what kind of information
can you give me in exchange?
**[11:48] Akira**
I'm sorry, but I don't have much.
**[11:51] Akira**
I can pay you instead.
**[11:54] Katsura**
I don't need money.
**[11:57] Akira**
But...
**[11:58] Katsura**
Did you know?
**[11:59] Katsura**
Apparently in the West, they express
their gratitude with a kiss.
**[12:03] Akira**
What? You're lying.
**[12:05] Katsura**
It's true.
**[12:07] Katsura**
Although not on the mouth, but here instead.
**[12:12] Akira**
How shameless! Absolutely outrageous.
**[12:15] Katsura**
I think it's a wonderful practice.
**[12:18] Katsura**
Come, now. Hurry up and thank me.
**[12:21] Akira**
What?
**[12:26] Akira**
This is just an expression
of gratitude, nothing more.
**[12:37] Akira**
What are you doing, you rogue?
**[12:39] Katsura**
The boat rocked. You were taking too long.
**[12:43] Katsura**
Come on, now. Quickly.
**[13:01] Ichibanboshi**
You're Uchiyama Hikojiro's sister, right?
**[13:05] Okayo**
Who are you?
**[13:06] Ichibanboshi**
I need to talk to you
about the late Hikojiro.
**[13:10] Okayo**
My brother?
***SIGN*** Masuya
**[13:12] Miyabe**
Nice work, Furutaka-kun.
**[13:14] Miyabe**
I'm impressed you were
able to gather so many.
**[13:17] Furutaka**
I did it for the nation.
**[13:19] Rashomaru**
He finds your exclusionist
attitude pleasing as well.
**[13:24] Miyabe**
We won't allow foreigners
to overrun this country.
**[13:27] Furutaka**
Noble sacrifices must be made.
**[13:31] Rashomaru**
That's what you call true strength.
**[13:33] Akira**
Open up. Law enforcement.
**[13:35] Suzuran**
This is a raid.
**[13:36] Akira**
Is the owner here?
**[13:38] Head Clerk**
He's not here at the moment.
**[13:40] Akira**
We've received a complaint from the people.
**[13:42] Akira**
We'd like to search the store.
**[13:44] Head Clerk**
I can't allow you to do that.
**[13:46] Gyataro**
We just wanna take a look around.
**[13:49] Gyataro**
Quit your whining.
**[13:49] Furutaka**
The Shinsengumi?
**[13:51] Sakuya**
They're in the storeroom in the back.
**[13:54] Furutaka**
The Shinsengumi is here.
**[13:55] Miyabe**
What? How did they find this place?
**[13:59] Rashomaru**
Sounds like they're not
so incompetent after all.
**[14:01] Rashomaru**
But once this plan is set
in motion, it can't be stopped.
**[14:07] Sogen**
This way.
**[14:09] Furutaka**
Miyabe-san, Rashomaru-san...
I'll handle this.
**[14:11] Miyabe**
We're counting on you.
**[14:23] Gyataro**
This is a job for you, Bo.

**[14:49] Okayo**
You have something to tell me
about my brother? Could it be...
**[14:52] Ichibanboshi**
Either of us could've died.
**[14:55] Ichibanboshi**
There was nothing we could do.
**[15:00] Ichibanboshi**
Hikojiro cared about you
until his final moments.
**[15:04] Ichibanboshi**
He said he wanted to see you get married,
**[15:07] Ichibanboshi**
dressed all in white,
right up until the end.
**[15:13] Okayo**
I had a feeling this day
would come eventually...
**[15:19] Okayo**
Ever since my brother started meeting
with those men in the unsettling masks.
**[15:24] Ichibanboshi**
He did it for you.
**[15:27] Okayo**
I asked him so many times to stop.
**[15:29] Okayo**
I said I didn't need the money.
**[15:33] Okayo**
That I didn't need to get married.
**[15:49] Okayo**
On your guard!
**[15:53] Gyataro**
The hell is this?
**[15:54] Gyataro**
Are they trying to start a war or something?
**[16:18] Sakuya**
You're going to tell us everything.
**[16:20] Sakuya**
Are you ready?
**[16:28] Ichibanboshi**
I understand why you want to kill me,
**[16:30] Ichibanboshi**
but could you give me some time?
**[16:34] Okayo**
How dare you!
**[16:36] Ichibanboshi**
Please. There's a matter
I need to resolve first.
**[16:41] Ichibanboshi**
For your brother's sake, too.
**[16:44] Ichibanboshi**
Tell me what your brother was
planning to do with the masked men.
**[16:51] Ichibanboshi**
Don't let Hikojiro's name
become any more tarnished,
**[16:56] Ichibanboshi**

**[17:14] Todo**
You found weapons and
ammunition at Masuya?
**[17:15] Sogen**
There was quite a lot of it.
**[17:18] Suzuran**
Seems like they really were plotting
something unbelievable after all.
**[17:22] Akira**
We captured Furutaka Shuntaro,
one of Miyabe's associates.
**[17:25] Todo**
I wish I could congratulate
you on a job well done,
**[17:28] Todo**
but this won't be enough to satisfy Katamori.
**[17:31] Todo**
We must do whatever it takes to
get him to tell us their plan.
**[17:34] Suzuran**
Sakuya-chan's already on it.
**[17:39] Furutaka**
I don't know anything. I won't talk.
**[17:42] Sakuya**
Let's see what your flesh
has to say about that.
**[17:52] Bo**
Do we have to torture him?
**[17:54] Gyataro**
Yeah.
**[17:55] Bo**
No matter what?
**[17:57] Gyataro**
You know what we're dealing with.
**[17:58] Gyataro**
We can't afford to whine about
every little thing right now.
**[18:02] Bo**
Ichibanboshi...
**[18:04] Gyataro**
You're right.
**[18:06] Gyataro**
If he were here, he wouldn't
be happy about this.
**[18:11] Okayo**
My brother said something strange to me.
**[18:14] Ichibanboshi**
What did he say?
**[18:16] Okayo**
In the morning, when he came home...
**[18:19] (Flashback) Uchiyama**
By the way, Okayo,
**[18:21] (Flashback) Uchiyama**
the Gion Festival is coming up.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Okayo**
Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Uchiyama**
You should leave Kyoto for a while.
**[18:27] (Flashback) Okayo**
What? But I've already made
plans with my friends.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Uchiyama**
You have to leave.
**[18:32] Ichibanboshi**
He said it was dangerous to stay here?
**[18:34] Okayo**
I was curious as well,
so I asked him about it.
**[18:37] Okayo**
He said there would be a huge fire
the day of the Gion Festival.
**[18:42] Sakuya**
Don't go passing out on me.
**[18:44] Sakuya**
We're just getting started.
**[18:49] Furutaka**
I... I don't know anything! Really!
**[18:54] Sakuya**
How strange.
**[18:56] Sakuya**
We've found the letters and blood-sealed
contracts you exchanged with lawless ronin.
**[19:04] Ichibanboshi**
A huge fire?
**[19:06] Okayo**
I believe he was describing arson.
**[19:10] Ichibanboshi**
He was working with the masked guys...
**[19:13] Sakuya**
...to burn down the capital?
**[19:15] Furutaka**
A few sacrifices must be made.
**[19:18] Furutaka**
It's for a great cause.
**[19:20] Gyataro**
Hold on a second. I can't
ignore what you just said.
**[19:23] Bo**
Great cause?
**[19:25] Furutaka**
We'll set fire to the city,
**[19:26] Furutaka**
and escort the emperor out of
the palace during the confusion.
**[19:30] Sakuya**
The emperor?
**[19:31] Furutaka**
To prove we're the true loyalist forces.
**[19:36] Gyataro**
Idiots. If you fail, you'll just
be a bunch of insurrectionists.
**[19:41] Furutaka**
You'll never know until you try.
**[19:43] Furutaka**
History is written by the winners.
**[19:47] Okayo**
I should've done whatever
it took to stop my brother,
**[19:51] Okayo**
even if it meant sacrificing myself.
**[19:54] Okayo**
I failed as his sister.
**[20:01] Ichibanboshi**
That's not true.
**[20:04] Ichibanboshi**
You're not a bad sister at all.
**[20:08] Ichibanboshi**
I'll stop them from setting fire to the city...
**[20:11] Ichibanboshi**
For Hikojiro, too.
**[20:13] Ichibanboshi**
Even if I have to sacrifice myself, Tsukito,
**[20:17] Ichibanboshi**
I finally see the path I'm meant to follow.

Masuya were for setting fire to the city

They're apparently holding a meeting
tonight at the Shimamuraya.
**[20:37] Akira**
Stealing a few of their
weapons won't stop them.
**[20:41] Gyataro**
We'd better head there right away.
**[20:43] Bo**
But...
**[20:44] Suzuran**
They're trying to burn down the city, right?
**[20:47] Sogen**
They have us vastly outnumbered.
**[20:50] Todo**
We'll send an urgent request for
reinforcements to the Aizu Clan.
**[20:55] Todo**

head to the Shimamuraya—

I'll stop the arson.
**[21:23] Ichibanboshi**
I'll protect the city.
**[21:25] Ichibanboshi**
I'll stop Hikojiro and Tsukito.
**[21:27] Ichibanboshi**
I'll accept whatever punishment you've
got for me as long as it's after that!
**[21:33] Ichibanboshi**
I don't care if I have to commit seppuku!

He's someone who attracts
people to him and unites them.

He's a lot like Kondo Isami.

Ichibanboshi,

I hear your sincerity loud and clear.

**[03:47] Katsura**
This is ridiculous.
**[03:49] Katsura**
You're taking the emperor to Hagi?
**[03:52] Ronin A**
Ever since the change of
government of August 18th,
**[03:54] Ronin A**
the Choshu haven't been
able to enter the palace.
**[03:56] Ronin A**
We simply need to take the emperor elsewhere.
**[03:58] Ronin B**
We won't let those Aizu and Satsuma
scoundrels do as they please.
**[04:01] Ronin C**
We'll overthrow the rotten shogunate and
protect Japan from foreign invaders.
**[04:06] All**
Yeah, yeah!
**[04:08] All**
Let's get 'em!
**[04:08] Katsura**
We're not getting anywhere.
**[04:11] Katsura**
But surely it's not necessary
to set fire to Kyoto.
**[04:14] Miyabe**
That's what they want.
***SIGN*** Kumamoto Domain Retainer

**[04:18] Miyabe**
The Masked Demons lent us weapons
and ammunition on the condition
**[04:22] Miyabe**
that we set fire to the city.
**[04:24] Katsura**
Those Masked Demons are working with
not just us exclusionary imperialists,
**[04:28] Katsura**
but the Kobu-gattai supporters as well.
**[04:30] Katsura**
They're neither birds
nor beasts, but cowardly bats.
**[04:34] Katsura**
We can't trust them.
**[04:36] Miyabe**
Then we'll just use them.
**[04:39] Katsura**
Why can't you understand
that they're using *you*?
**[04:52] Katamori**
What?
**[04:53] Katamori**
You won't dispatch the troops?
**[04:55] Katamori**
Akizuki, what is the meaning of this?
**[04:57] Akizuki**
If we send our men, war between the Aizu
and Choshu Domains will be unavoidable.
**[05:01] Akizuki**
This isn't the time for that.
**[05:03] Katamori**
But what if the Imperial Palace is attacked?
**[05:05] Akizuki**
I don't care.
**[05:07] Akizuki**
If it is, you'll be relieved from your
duty as Military Commissioner of Kyoto,
**[05:10] Akizuki**
and we'll be allowed to return to our home.
**[05:13] Katamori**
Don't be ridiculous. I'm sending the men.
**[05:16] Akizuki**
Very well.
**[05:18] Akizuki**
But because we took so long
to prepare for battle,
**[05:21] Akizuki**
the Aizu Domain will arrive
on the scene after the
**[05:24] Akizuki**
Shinsengumi has taken care of business.
**[05:26] Katamori**
Akizuki...
**[05:28] Akizuki**
I'm doing this for your family.

The city is boisterous because
the Gion Festival is tomorrow.
**[06:02] Furutaka**
The Masked Demons...
**[06:05] Furutaka**
They specifically told
us to burn the city today
**[06:09] Furutaka**
because there would be so
many souls in one place.
**[06:13] Sogen**
So many souls in one place?
**[06:17] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru,
**[06:19] Tsuchimikado**
the situation is still
not remotely satisfactory.
**[06:23] Rashomaru**
I'll gather patriotic souls
at tonight's festival.

We heard voices.

It's a mask.

Flint and fire arrows.

They were planning to

It's too soon to reveal ourselves.

**[13:18] All**
Yes, sir!
**[13:27] Rashomaru**
Now, then...
**[13:30] Rashomaru**
We're just getting started.
**[13:33] Rashomaru**
The real festival begins now.
**[13:38] Rashomaru**
Come to me.
**[13:55] Katsura**
Now, this is becoming a problem.
**[14:00] Katsura**
Is anyone there?
**[14:02] Choshu**
Kogoro-sama, let me open the gate for you.
**[14:05] Katsura**
Don't open it! No matter
what happens, don't open the gate!
**[14:09] Katsura**
Our allies at the Ikedaya were
attacked by the Shinsengumi.
**[14:12] Choshu**
What? Then we'll send
reinforcements immediately.
**[14:15] Katsura**
Don't. If the Choshu head there,
it'll mean war with the Aizu Domain.
**[14:19] Choshu**
B-But...
**[14:20] Katsura**
The Choshu mustn't get involved.
**[14:22] Katsura**
We have no choice but to abandon our allies.
**[14:25] Katsura**
It's what's best for the
future of the Choshu Domain.
**[14:27] Choshu**
But...
**[14:28] Katsura**
Please. You must control yourself.
**[14:31] Katsura**
There's a fire spreading throughout
the city from the northeast.
**[14:33] Katsura**
Send men to help.
**[14:35] Choshu**
Yes, sir.
**[14:37] Katsura**
I'm counting on you.
**[15:01] Gyataro**
Out of bullets.
**[15:02] Miyabe**
Prepare yourself, Shinsengumi.
**[15:04] Miyabe**
Tonight my blade thirsts for blood.
**[15:08] Gyataro**
Wow, thanks for the dramatic remarks.
**[15:14] Miyabe**
You're next!
**[15:16] Gyataro**
Cram it!
**[15:21] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami's substitute.
**[15:27] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[15:27] Rashomaru**
How many times do I have to
tell you not to call me that?
**[15:35] Rashomaru**
Stay out of my way, Shinsengumi.
**[15:39] Ichibanboshi**
Is this really what you want to do?
**[15:41] Rashomaru**
Everything I do is for him.
**[15:44] Ichibanboshi**
Who cares about "him"?
**[15:48] Rashomaru**
What did you say?
**[15:49] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, join the Shinsengumi.
**[15:52] Ichibanboshi**
Join us in atoning for your sins and live.
**[15:55] Ichibanboshi**
Don't give up on yourself.
**[15:57] Ichibanboshi**
Even a criminal can start
over in the Shinsengumi.
**[15:59] Ichibanboshi**
You'll have companions. You're not alone.
**[16:03] Rashomaru**
I knew you were stupid,
but I never knew just how stupid.
**[16:08] Rashomaru**
It's too late!
**[16:12] Rashomaru**
Do you have any idea what I've done?
**[16:14] Rashomaru**
How many people I've killed?
**[16:19] Rashomaru**
It's too late for me to start over!
**[16:26] Rashomaru**
Now die!
**[16:42] Todo**
I won't let you do that, Rashomaru.
**[16:45] Rashomaru**
Did you think your ordinary sword stood
a chance against my magic weapon?
**[16:48] Todo**
I won't let you kill Commander
Kondo Isami a second time.
**[16:53] Rashomaru**
He's an impostor and a criminal!
**[16:55] Todo**
He's not an impostor!
**[16:57] Todo**
The substitutes taught me
**[17:00] Todo**
that as long as there's someone
to uphold their sincerity,
**[17:03] Todo**
the Shinsengumi will rise
from the dead again and again!
**[17:08] Rashomaru**
Your devotion is pathetic, Todo Heisuke.
**[17:11] Rashomaru**
You're a true samurai.
**[17:14] Rashomaru**
Offer your life to the nation!
**[17:21] Rashomaru**
Hijikata Toshizo's substitute...
**[17:24] Suzuran**
Sorry.
**[17:25] Bo**
We're late.
**[17:27] Akira**
The matter at the Ikedaya has been settled.
**[17:28] Gyataro**
Looks like you already got the party started.
**[17:32] Rashomaru**
All the criminals are here.
**[17:35] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami's substitute, are these the
people you called your companions?
**[17:42] Ichibanboshi**
I won't forgive anyone who hurts my allies.
**[17:46] Ichibanboshi**
If you don't stop now,
**[17:48] Ichibanboshi**
then I'll have to kill you.
**[17:52] Rashomaru**
Kondo Isami's substitute,
I won't kill you yet.
**[17:57] Rashomaru**
Have a taste of the loneliness
and pain I experienced!
**[18:12] Ichibanboshi**
Todo!
**[18:14] Ichibanboshi**
Hang in there.
**[18:16] Todo**
I'll be out of commission for a while.
**[18:19] Todo**
From now on, you must lead the Shinsengumi.
**[18:23] Ichibanboshi**
What? Who, me?
**[18:25] Todo**
That's right. You're their commander.
**[18:28] Ichibanboshi**
Wait a minute. I can't do that.
**[18:31] Todo**
At first, you won't.
**[18:33] Todo**
But as long as you go through
the motions, eventually, you'll learn.
**[18:38] Todo**
After all, that's what I did.
**[18:41] Todo**
That day, when the government
changed on August 18th,
**[18:45] Todo**
the commander and captains were killed,
**[18:47] Todo**
and I became the leader of the Shinsengumi.
**[18:51] Todo**
As someone who'd only been
a follower until then,
**[18:54] Todo**
such an important task was far beyond me.
**[18:59] Todo**
But as the sole survivor, I had to do it.
**[19:07] Todo**
Ichibanboshi, you can do it...
**[19:10] Todo**
No, you're the right man for the job.
**[19:13] Todo**
Lead the Shinsengumi.
**[19:15] Ichibanboshi**
Understanding stuff like royalists and
shogunate supporters is beyond me.
**[19:20] Ichibanboshi**
I need you to teach me.
**[19:24] Todo**
Don't worry about that.
**[19:28] Todo**
Follow the sincerity in your heart.
**[19:32] Ichibanboshi**
Sincerity?
**[19:35] Todo**
I'm counting on you.
**[19:37] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, Todo!
**[19:40] Sogen**
He's simply lost consciousness.
**[19:43] Sogen**
Get a door to carry him on.
**[19:44] Sogen**
Take him back to headquarters immediately.
**[19:48] Sogen**
I promise I'll heal him.
**[19:51] Ichibanboshi**
We're counting on you.
**[19:57] Ichibanboshi**
The city...
**[19:58] Sakuya**
The fire's spreading too quickly.
**[20:00] Akira**
We should split up and help fight the fire.
**[20:02] Suzuran**
I'll help the people who have
been burned out of their homes.
**[20:07] Soldier**
Well done, sirs.
**[20:08] Bo**
Aizu Domain, you're late.
**[20:10] Soldier**
What?
**[20:10] Gyataro**
You guys are late. You'd better
help us put out this fire.
**[20:14] Soldier**
What are you talking about?
**[20:16] Soldier**
We're samurai, not common firefight—
**[20:18] Sakuya**
If the direction of the wind changes,
**[20:20] Sakuya**
the Imperial Palace where the emperor
resides will become a sea of fire.
**[20:22] Sakuya**
Is that what the Aizu Domain wants?
**[20:26] Soldier**
To Kamogawa! Let's carry some water!
**[21:05] Gyataro**
Are you guys all right?
**[21:07] Akira**
Yeah.
**[21:10] Suzuran**
What a disaster.
**[21:24] Girl**
Mom, Mom!
**[21:35] Ichibanboshi**
All right.
**[21:38] Sakuya**
Hey, where are you going?
**[21:41] Ichibanboshi**
Isn't it obvious? We're gonna fix this.
**[21:44] Sakuya**
Fix this?
**[21:45] Suzuran**
Even though the city burned down?
**[21:47] Ichibanboshi**
It doesn't matter how it looks now.
**[21:49] Ichibanboshi**
It'll take some time, but if we
clean things up, it can be restored.
**[21:58] Gyataro**
Fine, then.
**[22:00] Akira**
Let's get started, too.
**[22:02] Suzuran**
We're starting over from scratch.
**[22:04] Bo**
I'm gonna get some food!
**[22:08] Sakuya**
Commander, give us our orders.

Soon our family will be together again.
**[02:53] Ichibanboshi**
Over here.
**[02:54] Ichibanboshi**
Stay calm, everyone.
**[02:56] Ichibanboshi**
Don't worry.
**[02:57] Ichibanboshi**
The Shinsengumi will defend Kyoto.
**[03:08] Sogen**
You're awake?
**[03:12] Todo**
I failed to die again.
**[03:14] Sogen**
Todo Heisuke regrets being the
only survivor of the Shinsengumi.
**[03:22] Sogen**
That's what Suzuran-dono told me.
**[03:26] Todo**
Maybe he's right.
**[03:30] Todo**
It's quiet.
**[03:31] Sogen**
Everyone's out,
**[03:33] Sogen**
on orders from Ichibanboshi-dono.
**[03:37] Sogen**
He said defending Kyoto
is the Shinsengumi's job.
**[03:42] Todo**
I see.
**[03:43] Bo**
Heave-ho!
**[03:48] Child 1**
Wow!
**[03:49] Child 2**
He's like a sumo wrestler!
**[03:53] Chief Carpenter**
Thanks. Now we'll be able to
build new houses right away.
**[03:57] Gyataro**
Don't thank us.
**[03:58] Gyataro**
All we do is break stuff.
**[04:01] Gyataro**
Only you carpenters can build new stuff.
**[04:05] Gyataro**
Chief, the rest is up to you guys.
**[04:08] Chief Carpenter**
You got it. We'll do our best.
**[04:11] All**
Thanks for the work.
**[04:13] Tomekichi**
Gyata-nii, we'll help, too.
**[04:16] Gyataro**
Thanks, I appreciate it.
**[04:18] Gyataro**
Get the area cleaned up.
If you find anything valuable...
**[04:23] Tomekichi**
We'll return it to the people who
were burned out of their homes.
**[04:25] Tomekichi**
Only pieces of shit loot after a fire.
**[04:28] Gyataro**
Yeah, you're right. I was
just thinking the same thing.
**[04:33] Tomekichi**
Come on, let's go.
**[04:34] All**
Yeah!
**[04:35] Gyataro**
Tomekichi's turned into a right little boss.
**[04:46] Gravedigger**
Aren't these guys arsonists?
**[04:48] Gravedigger**
Why do we have to dig graves for them?
**[04:50] Suzuran**
Because I believe in lending a hand
to souls that need to be mourned.
**[05:01] Suzuran**
This drawing again.
**[05:03] Suzuran**
It's the same bonji symbol.
**[05:08] Ichibanboshi**
We've got plenty more.
**[05:10] Ichibanboshi**
You don't need to worry
about being first in line.
**[05:14] Man**
Thank you.
**[05:15] Ichibanboshi**
Here.
**[05:16] Sakuya**
We have medicine for the injured.
**[05:18] Sakuya**
Let us know if you need anything.
**[05:20] Ichibanboshi**
Hey...
**[05:22] Women**
Hijikata-sama!
**[05:24] Women**
So handsome!
**[05:24] Ichibanboshi**
Why is this happening?
**[05:25] Women**
I'd like some, please!
**[05:26] Sakuya**
I don't know.
**[05:27] Ichibanboshi**
Man.
**[05:28] Okayo**
Commander?
**[05:30] Ichibanboshi**
Well, if it isn't Okayo-san.
**[05:33] Ichibanboshi**
Wait, I thought you fled to Osaka.
**[05:36] Okayo**
There's no way I could've left
everyone else behind to do that.
**[05:40] Okayo**
Let me help you.
**[05:43] Ichibanboshi**
Sure, I appreciate it.
**[05:49] Woman**
Who knew this would happen?
**[05:54] Akira**
You little...
**[05:57] Katsura**
What a shame.
**[05:58] Katsura**
How does a master swordsman
do such shoddy work?
**[06:02] Akira**
When did you get here?
**[06:03] Katsura**
Whoa, there.
**[06:05] Katsura**
You nearly sliced my nose off.
**[06:08] Katsura**
Let me see.
**[06:10] Akira**
Stay out of my way.
**[06:14] Akira**
You're good at that.
**[06:15] Katsura**
As a child, I was put up for adoption
and moved homes several times.
**[06:20] Katsura**
Because of that, I picked up cooking,
cleaning, and everything else.
**[06:25] Katsura**
That should do it.
**[06:27] Katsura**
Why don't we go for a walk?
**[06:33] Katsura**
I came to have a serious discussion today.
**[06:37] Akira**
Whenever you say that, it's bound
to be about something ridiculous.
**[06:41] Katsura**
I want you to marry me.
**[06:43] Akira**
See? You want to marry me?
**[06:47] Akira**
Wait, marry me?
**[06:49] Akira**
What?!
**[06:50] Katsura**
Is that really so shocking?
**[06:52] Katsura**
We already sealed the deal
last night with a kiss.
**[06:58] Akira**
That was just...
**[07:00] Akira**
This is ridiculous. I was wondering
what you'd say, but I—
**[07:03] Katsura**
Why is a woman like you dressing up
**[07:06] Katsura**
as a man and calling herself
Okita Soji of the Shinsengumi?
**[07:11] Akira**
I...
**[07:13] Katsura**
You don't have to tell me.
**[07:15] Katsura**
It doesn't matter who you are.
**[07:18] Katsura**
It doesn't matter what's in your past.
**[07:20] Katsura**
I love the woman standing before me now.
**[07:25] Katsura**
That's all that matters.
**[07:27] Katsura**
Will you tell me one thing, though?
**[07:30] Katsura**
What's your real name?
**[07:39] Akira**
Akira.
**[07:43] Akira**
Akira, written using the
character for the color white.
**[07:48] Katsura**
Akira...
**[07:50] Katsura**
It suits you. It's a beautiful name.
**[07:57] Bo**
That made me happy.
**[08:00] Gyataro**
Huh?
**[08:01] Bo**
That was the first time in my
life I've been praised so much.
**[08:07] Gyataro**
Yeah?
**[08:09] Bo**
I'm glad I joined the Shinsengumi.
**[08:14] Bo**
I'm glad I became a substitute.
**[08:17] Gyataro**
Me, too.
**[08:18] Gyataro**
Substitutes for the Shinsengumi...
**[08:23] Gyataro**
Now that I think about it, it's a crazy idea.
**[08:26] Bo**
Yeah.
**[08:27] Gyataro**
I thought I'd only agreed to it
to avoid being executed, but...
**[08:32] Gyataro**
Today, I feel like thanking
Todo for once, damn it!
**[08:39] Bo**
Yeah!
**[08:44] Sogen**
I can't believe I fell asleep.
**[08:47] Sogen**
Are you feeling cold?
**[08:50] Todo**
No, I'm fine. Sorry for waking you.
**[08:53] Todo**
You haven't gotten a wink of sleep
since you've been taking care of me.
**[08:57] Todo**
You should get some rest.
**[09:04] Todo**
I'm sure someone's just
bad-mouthing me again.
**[09:09] Sogen**
It's hard playing the villain.
**[09:18] Suzuran**
Wait, wait!
**[09:19] Suzuran**
Don't bury him yet!
**[09:26] Suzuran**
I knew it.
**[09:31] Akira**
Akira's a masculine name, isn't it?
**[09:34] Katsura**
It can be a man or a woman's name.
**[09:38] Akira**
It's the name my parents chose for a
son who'd take over the family dojo.
***SIGN*** Motomu Dojo
**[09:46] Akira**
When I learned that, I figured my parents
wanted a child skilled in swordsmanship.
**[09:53] Akira**
So I dedicated myself to swordsmanship.
**[09:56] Akira**
I was desperate to make my parents happy.
**[10:00] Akira**
As I trained, eventually no one at
the dojo stood a chance against me,
**[10:04] Akira**
so I became an instructor.
**[10:07] Akira**
That's when I finally realized something.
**[10:10] Akira**
What my parents wanted
wasn't a strong daughter,
**[10:15] Akira**
but a son to take over the dojo.
**[10:20] Katsura**
You've lived a lonely life of swordsmanship.
**[10:23] Akira**
I'm only capable of living
in this clumsy way.
**[10:26] Katsura**
It must've been hard, but I know you.
**[10:30] Katsura**
You probably rejected even
the idea of feeling that pain
**[10:33] Katsura**
and swung your wooden sword every day.
**[10:36] Akira**
Maybe.
**[10:38] Katsura**
That loneliness will end.
**[10:41] Katsura**
If you marry me, that is.
**[10:44] Akira**
All you ever do is trick and
lie to people as a joke.
**[10:48] Katsura**
I wouldn't lie about
wanting to marry someone.
**[10:51] Katsura**
There's no rush to give me your answer.
**[10:54] Katsura**
Let's take it slow.
**[10:56] Katsura**
Our relationship has just begun.
**[11:02] Ichibanboshi**
Man, I'm beat.
**[11:05] Sakuya**
Dumboshi.
**[11:06] Sakuya**
Eat.
**[11:08] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, thanks.
**[11:13] Ichibanboshi**
You haven't eaten since this morning either.
**[11:15] Sakuya**
I'm fine.
**[11:20] Ichibanboshi**
Don't strain yourself.
**[11:23] Ichibanboshi**
You know, my family...
**[11:26] Ichibanboshi**
We lived deep in the countryside. We were poor.
**[11:29] Sakuya**
What are you talking about?
**[11:31] Ichibanboshi**
I wonder when that was...
**[11:33] Ichibanboshi**
There was a festival at a nearby village.
**[11:37] Ichibanboshi**
I'd been given some pocket money,
so I bought a steamed bun.
**[11:40] Ichibanboshi**
I gave it to Tsukito, but...
**[11:42] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Here.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
I told you, that's your share.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Food tastes better when
you're eating with someone.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Fine, then.
**[11:57] Ichibanboshi**
He's a nice guy.
**[12:00] Ichibanboshi**
He was pretending to be tough.
**[12:03] Ichibanboshi**
His right eyebrow rises when he lies.
**[12:08] Ichibanboshi**
I can always tell.
**[12:10] Sakuya**
Tsukito is Rashomaru now.
**[12:13] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, but that Tsukito
still lives inside him.
**[12:19] Ichibanboshi**
I know he does.
**[12:20] Sakuya**
You think Tsukito will come back
if you change this shitty world?
**[12:25] Ichibanboshi**
That's right.
**[12:27] Sakuya**
You may have to kill him.
**[12:29] Ichibanboshi**
I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
**[12:34] Sakuya**
I killed my own father.
**[12:38] Sakuya**
I came from a samurai family.
**[12:40] Sakuya**
We had status and wealth, but...
**[12:44] Sakuya**
My father was the worst kind of person.
**[12:47] Sakuya**
He abused his status and was a
tyrant to those weaker than him.
**[12:52] Sakuya**
My mother simply endured his abuse
**[12:57] Sakuya**
because obeying your husband was
the duty of a samurai's wife.
**[13:05] Sakuya**
One night, my father became
exceptionally violent.
**[13:07] Sakuya**
If I didn't kill him,
he'd kill my mother, so I...
**[13:14] Ichibanboshi**
So you did it to protect your mother?
**[13:19] Sakuya**
The night I killed my father,
my mother killed herself.
**[13:24] Sakuya**
I killed my father, who was practically
the embodiment of this shitty world.
**[13:28] Sakuya**
But it means I also killed my mother,
who could only live in samurai society.
**[13:42] Sakuya**
I abandoned my family
**[13:46] Sakuya**
and became a hired killer.
**[13:51] Sakuya**
Hired killers say
**[13:52] Sakuya**
you'll see the world differently once
you've killed a thousand people.
**[13:56] Ichibanboshi**
That's why you've been counting them?
**[14:00] Ichibanboshi**
Has the world you see changed?
**[14:04] Ichibanboshi**
You killed over a thousand yesterday.
**[14:13] Ichibanboshi**
I see. In that case, instead of
counting the people you've killed,
**[14:17] Ichibanboshi**
count the people you've saved from now on.
**[14:24] Sakuya**
I'll consider it.
**[14:26] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, that's the first time
I've seen you smile.
**[14:29] Sakuya**
Shut up. I didn't smile.
**[14:30] Ichibanboshi**
Wow, what a rare sight.
**[14:31] Ichibanboshi**
Come on, smile again.
**[14:31] Sakuya**
I didn't smile.
**[14:33] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, you did.

You're working hard, Chief.
**[14:45] Chief Carpenter**
Well, if it isn't Kondo-san.
**[14:48] Chief Carpenter**
We'll get this back to normal right quick.
**[14:51] Townsfolk 1**
That's the Shinsengumi
everyone's talking about.
**[14:53] Townsfolk 2**
They helped like mad during the fire.
**[14:58] City Girl 1**
Hijikata-san's such a fine man.
**[15:01] City Girl 2**
I think I prefer Okita-san.
**[15:04] City Girl 2**
He's got a pretty face like a girl,
**[15:06] City Girl 2**
but he's as strong as an ogre
with a sword in his hands.
**[15:13] Tsuchimikado**
The Shinsengumi has become rather popular
in the wake of the Ikedaya incident.
**[15:20] Tsuchimikado**
I wondered how that group
of criminals would turn out,
**[15:26] Tsuchimikado**
but it would seem that Todo Heisuke and
Matsudaira Katamori weren't wrong about them.
**[15:31] Rashomaru**
Several of our agents were
foiled and failed to set fires.
**[15:35] Rashomaru**
We failed to gather enough
souls for the ritual.
**[15:40] Tsuchimikado**
No, if anything, we should be glad to
have this opportunity to test our plan.
**[15:45] Rashomaru**
Our ambition shall be fulfilled soon.
**[15:49] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, as you have killed your
own mother and become a demon,
**[15:54] Tsuchimikado**
I have bestowed upon you the
highest responsibility.
**[15:57] Rashomaru**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:59] Tsuchimikado**
By accepting the corruption of this world,
**[16:02] Tsuchimikado**
you can become the foundation
of this nation's salvation.
**[16:06] Tsuchimikado**
Therefore, you must kill your brother.
**[16:11] Tsuchimikado**
It is the final step.
**[16:14] Tsuchimikado**
But first, there's one other obstacle
the stars have told us to eliminate.
**[16:25] Shozan**
So the moon has brought
demons to my doorstep.
**[16:32] Rashomaru**
Rashomaru, Captain of the Masked Demons,
is here to take your life, Sakuma Shozan.
**[16:40] Shozan**
That's not the first time
someone's said that to me.
**[16:44] Shozan**
The night is long. Let's have a chat.
**[16:48] Shozan**
Are those the magical swords
I've heard so much about?
**[16:51] Shozan**
How do they work?
**[16:53] Shozan**
Would you allow me to take a look?
**[16:55] Rashomaru**
You can see how they work with your own body.
**[16:58] Shozan**
What is your master planning?
**[17:02] Shozan**
Why do you give magic swords to forces
both for and against the shogunate?
**[17:07] Shozan**
Are you weapons dealers motivated by money?
**[17:09] Shozan**
Or are you trying to start a civil war?
**[17:11] Rashomaru**
Don't belittle him!
**[17:14] Shozan**
How can I not when I know
so little about him?
**[17:18] Shozan**
Though it'd be a different story if you'd
tell me about your master's noble purpose.
**[17:25] Rashomaru**
You can take it with you to the grave.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Our country is protected by the
souls of those who love it.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
We transform those souls into swords
so we can defeat the foreigners.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Using spells passed down since ancient times,
**[17:42] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
protective deities of the Underworld
will defeat the foreigners
**[17:48] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
and bring eternal prosperity to our nation.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, your sins are hereby erased.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Tsuchimikado**
Together, let us save the fatherland.
**[18:03] Shozan**
How delightful.
**[18:05] Shozan**
He intends to protect this
country using mysterious spells?
**[18:08] Rashomaru**
The spineless Tokugawa and the Satcho who
suck up to foreign nations are mere pawns.
**[18:15] Rashomaru**
Japan will force all nations to submit.
**[18:18] Rashomaru**
The world will kneel before
his type-zero weapon!
**[18:25] Shozan**
This is why your plan will never work.
**[18:27] Shozan**
Your thinking is too old-fashioned.
**[18:32] Shozan**
Sooner or later, this country will change.
**[18:35] Shozan**
The shogunate will fall,
and the samurai will disappear.
**[18:39] Shozan**
When the new world arrives,
**[18:42] Shozan**
what will matter most is
what you've got up here.
**[18:45] Shozan**
We won't need people who wait
for their master's orders.
**[18:49] Shozan**
The ability to consider for
yourself what you think
**[18:52] Shozan**
and what you want to do
will become essential.
**[18:55] Shozan**
You fools!
**[18:59] Shozan**
You called yourself Rashomaru, didn't you?
**[19:00] Shozan**
What do you want to do?
**[19:03] Rashomaru**
Whatever he—
**[19:05] Shozan**
Think for yourself!
**[19:19] Rashomaru**
Too late.
**[19:31] Rashomaru**
It's too late.
**[19:45] Rashomaru**
After all, I've already...
**[19:53] Rashomaru**
become a demon.
**[20:08] Todo**
You're saying these drawings show
what the Masked Demons are planning?
**[20:13] Suzuran**
No, we don't know that yet.
**[20:17] Suzuran**
I thought the drawing we
found at the Shirakawaya
**[20:19] Suzuran**
and the drawing we found at the Shimamuraya
**[20:22] Suzuran**
showed the locations they
planned to set fire to.
**[20:26] Suzuran**
We did, in fact, find Masked
Demons at Seimei Shrine, too.
**[20:30] Sogen**
But it's a bit odd for a map.
**[20:34] Sogen**
What are these lines?
**[20:36] Suzuran**
Exactly. It's full of mysteries.
**[20:42] Todo**
There's not much we can say
without more information.
**[20:45] Suzuran**
Yeah, so I thought we could
start by talking to those two.
**[20:51] Sogen**
If we showed these to Ichibanboshi-dono,
he'd immediately call for a blitzing.
**[20:56] Todo**
Yeah, it's a bad habit of his.
**[20:59] Suzuran**
And his strength, too.
**[21:05] Todo**
In any case, Suzuran, I'll leave this
matter in your hands for the time being.
**[21:10] Todo**
Look into the details.
**[21:12] Todo**
There could be other drawings.
**[21:13] Suzuran**
Got it. I'll follow all the leads I can find.
**[21:17] Ichibanboshi**
Shozan-sensei's dead?
**[21:20] Katamori**
Last night, he died after
someone attacked him.
**[21:24] Ichibanboshi**
But...
**[21:26] Sakuya**
Who killed him?
**[21:27] Akizuki**
We don't know.
**[21:29] Akizuki**
He had a lot of enemies, so it will
difficult to determine who killed him.
**[21:35] Ichibanboshi**
There was still so much
I wanted to learn from him.
**[21:39] Ichibanboshi**
Shozan-sensei...
**[21:41] Katamori**
I didn't call the Shinsengumi here
just so I could give you the news.
**[21:46] Katamori**
Akizuki.
**[21:47] Akizuki**
Yes, sir.
**[21:51] Ichibanboshi**
An ukiyo-e painting?
**[21:52] Sakuya**
Demons?
**[21:54] Katamori**
The message Shozan-sensei left for us
**[21:56] Katamori**
was probably that the Masked Demons'
next goal is to blow up foreign ships.
**[22:03] Katamori**
I command the Shinsengumi...
**[22:05] Katamori**
to head to Sakai Port in Osaka.

to inspect the port.
**[03:17] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
**[03:20] Sakuya**
There's a lot we need to learn,
**[03:22] Sakuya**
like the ships' locations, the port's layout,
and the number of guards.
**[03:28] Sakuya**
You child...
**[03:28] Akira**
Sakuya, there's no rush.
**[03:31] Akira**
We'll do whatever Ichibanboshi can't.
**[03:34] Akira**
We can split responsibilities.
**[03:36] Sakuya**
Nothing good will come from babying him.
**[03:39] Gyataro**
Check out that flamboyant flag.
**[03:43] Sogen**
The stars and stripes.
**[03:45] Sogen**
That's the American flag.
**[03:48] Bo**
Why do the Masked Demons want
to blow up a black ship?
**[03:51] Suzuran**
It would start a war with the Americans.
**[03:53] Sogen**
That may be their goal.
**[03:56] Sogen**
Even if a war doesn't break out, it would
certainly serve as a provocation.
**[04:00] Ichibanboshi**
I wanna travel on this thing.
**[04:03] Ichibanboshi**
I want my own black ship.
**[04:06] Gyataro**
Are the Masked Demons trying
to hijack a black ship?
**[04:09] Bo**
Steal a black ship?
**[04:11] Suzuran**
That's too ridiculous to consider.
***SIGN*** Choshu Domain: Hagi Castle
**[04:14] Kusaka**
The death of Sakuma Shozan, agent of
those who want to open the country,
***SIGN*** Anti-Foreigner Retainer
Kusaka Genzui
**[04:18] Kusaka**
is an opportunity for us
to expel the foreigners.
**[04:19] Kusaka**
My lord, give the word.
**[04:21] Clan Member A**
Aye, we agree.
**[04:23] Clan Member B**
Give the word.
***SIGN*** Lord of the Domain
Mori Takachika
**[04:25] Takachika**
I hear you loud and clear.
**[04:29] Takachika**
The hearts of the Choshu
Domain's people are one.
**[04:33] Takachika**
That being the case...
**[04:35] Katsura**
Wait.
**[04:37] Kusaka**
Katsura-dono, you're back?
**[04:39] Katsura**
We don't have the slightest
chance of winning a war
**[04:42] Katsura**
against foreign nations if we start one now.
**[04:44] Clan Member C**
What are you talking about?
**[04:45] Clan Member D**
Have you lost your nerve, Katsura?
**[04:47] Katsura**
Have you already forgotten
about the Shimonoseki campaign?
**[04:50] Katsura**
That terrible war in which we were
crushed due to our outdated armaments?
**[04:56] Katsura**
Right now, learning the
technology of foreign nations
**[04:58] Katsura**
and increasing our nation's
strength come first.
**[05:01] Katsura**
Taking action to expel foreigners when
it would only impoverish our domain
**[05:04] Katsura**
is out of the question.
**[05:06] Kusaka**
B-But...
**[05:07] Takachika**
Kogoro's right. Fighting a war when you
lack military force is foolishness.
**[05:13] Takachika**
That's the end of this discussion.
**[05:21] Clan Member A**
Damn that weasel Katsura.
**[05:22] Clan Member B**
He's got a way with words, and he's
using it to sweet-talk Takachika-sama.
**[05:27] Kusaka**
Let him talk.
**[05:28] Kusaka**
Once Maki Izumi-sama carries out his plan,
**[05:30] Kusaka**
we'll have our opportunity
to expel the foreigners.
**[05:33] Kusaka**
Katsura won't be able to do anything then.
**[05:39] Gyataro**
Osaka's got the best drinks and women.
**[05:43] Bo**
Lotsa tasty food!
**[05:45] Gyataro**
Not only that, but the Aizu
Domain's paying for everything.
**[05:47] Gyataro**
What could be better than that?
**[05:49] Bo**
The best.
**[05:54] Gyataro**
What's going on?
**[05:55] Bo**
Could be the Masked Demons.
**[05:57] Gyataro**
Should we go check it out?
**[06:00] Sailor A**
Did you get it?
**[06:02] Sailor A**
Have you got any questions?
**[06:04] Sogen**
Thank you for answering my question.
**[06:08] Sogen**
I appreciate it.
**[06:12] Suzuran**
Wow, Sogen-chan.
You're totally fluent in American.
**[06:17] Akira**
What did the sailors say?
**[06:18] Sogen**
They did indeed receive a bomb
threat against the black ships.
**[06:23] Suzuran**
So the message was right.
**[06:25] Akira**
I suppose that's to be
expected from Shozan-sensei.
**[06:27] Sogen**
But for them, that type of sabotage
and terrorism is a daily occurrence.
**[06:34] Sogen**
They didn't pay much mind to it.
**[06:36] Suzuran**
What? Does that mean the Masked
Demons aren't their only enemies?
**[06:41] Akira**
I see.
**[06:44] Ichibanboshi**
Hey, do you know a guy named Sakamoto Ryoma?
**[06:48] Sakuya**
Ryoma is a ronin formerly of the Tosa Domain.
**[06:51] Sakuya**
What about him?
**[06:52] Ichibanboshi**
Shozan-sensei told me once
that Ryoma's a lot like me.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Shozan**
There's someone I want you to meet.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Shozan**
His name is Sakamoto Ryoma.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Ryoma? That's a weird name.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Shozan**
I'm sure you and he will get along.
**[07:12] Ichibanboshi**
Shozan-sensei's dead, but I'd
still like to meet Ryoma.
**[07:17] Ichibanboshi**
I wonder what he's up to now.
**[07:18] Sakuya**
I heard Ryoma's working with Katsu Kaishu
and the Kobe Naval Training Center
**[07:22] Sakuya**
to conduct trade with foreign nations.
**[07:25] Ichibanboshi**
Which means he rides those black ships?
**[07:28] Ichibanboshi**
Wow, I wanna meet him even more now.
**[07:31] Sakuya**
A masterless samurai like Ryoma
and the Shinsengumi are enemies.
**[07:34] Ichibanboshi**
What? Seriously?
**[07:36] Sakuya**
If you ever met, you'd cross swords.
**[07:39] Ichibanboshi**
Well, that's not good.
**[07:44] Gyataro**
The hell is that?
**[07:45] Bo**
A turtle?
**[07:46] Fisherman A**
I dunno.
**[07:48] Fisherman A**
We thought it was a big one,
**[07:49] Fisherman A**
so we threw some bait in the
water but couldn't catch it.
**[07:51] Fisherman B**
It's been there since this morning.
**[07:53] Sakuya**
What's going on?
**[07:53] Gyataro**
That.
**[07:55] Ichibanboshi**
For real? I thought it'd
be the Masked Demons.
**[07:59] Sogen**
Shall we try blowing it up?
**[08:01] Suzuran**
Right off the bat?
**[08:02] Suzuran**
I guess I've heard of catching
fish that way, though.
**[08:07] Akira**
Look. It's starting to move.
**[08:08] Bo**
Is it going to the Dragon Palace?
**[08:10] Sakuya**
It's heading towards the black ship.
**[08:25] Ichibanboshi**
It's the Masked Demons.
**[08:27] Gyataro**
I thought this might happen.
**[08:30] Gyataro**
Ta-dah!
**[08:32] Gyataro**
I'll use this long-range firearm
Sogen-sensei made for me.
**[08:37] Gyataro**
That's one down!
**[08:40] Gyataro**
Come on, come on, come on!
**[08:44] Gyataro**
I can't hit 'em!
**[08:51] Sailor A**
You're a demon...
**[08:54] Rashomaru**
Your soul cannot be used as our weapons.
**[09:12] Ichibanboshi**
The black ship...
**[09:13] Sakuya**
...has been stolen?
**[09:19] Ichibanboshi**
Hold it right there.
**[09:21] Ichibanboshi**
We'll use those to go after them.
**[09:23] Sakuya**
That won't be possible in those little boats.
**[09:25] Ichibanboshi**
It is if you try hard enough.
**[09:26] Akira**
It's impossible.
**[09:27] Gyataro**
It's impossible.
**[09:28] Bo**
Impossible.
**[09:29] Sogen**
It's impossible.
**[09:30] Suzuran**
Impossible.
**[09:31] Ichibanboshi**
Then what are we supposed to do?
**[09:33] Ichibanboshi**
They're gonna destroy that black ship.
**[09:36] Rashomaru**
Fire.
**[09:43] Townsfolk A**
The Americans are attacking!
**[09:45] Townsfolk B**
Help!
**[09:46] Townsfolk C**
The foreigners are attacking!
**[09:47] Sakuya**
This isn't good.
**[09:48] Sakuya**
The people who don't know what's going on
think the Americans are firing on them.
**[09:53] Gyataro**
So they're not gonna blow up the black ship?
**[09:56] Akira**
Was their plan to fire on the port?
**[09:58] Ichibanboshi**
We've gotta go after them in a boat.
**[10:01] Sakuya**
Don't bother.
**[10:02] Sakuya**
Japan doesn't have a boat that
can catch up to a black ship.
**[10:04] Sogen**
Actually, it does.
**[10:09] Rashomaru**
Cease fire.
**[10:11] Rashomaru**
Now we wait.
**[10:14] Rashomaru**
Sail along the starboard coast.
**[10:16] Masked Demon A**
Yes, sir.
**[10:19] Sogen**
Several years ago, an electric screw
ship was tested here in the Osaka Bay.
**[10:25] Sogen**
It was Sakuma Shozan-sensei who invented it.
**[10:28] Gyataro**
Whoa, he was one impressive scholar.
**[10:32] Sogen**
Sakuma Shozan was one of the
most brilliant men in the world.
**[10:37] Sogen**
And the product of his genius...
**[10:42] Sogen**
sleeps here.
**[10:48] Sakuya**
How does it work?
**[10:50] Sogen**
This project was put on hold due to a
lack of the zinc it required to operate.
**[10:56] Gyataro**
Then we can't use it.
**[10:59] Sogen**
I wouldn't say that.
**[11:01] Sogen**
Fortunately, there's another genius
on par with Shozan right here.
**[11:06] Suzuran**
Wow, you really called yourself a genius.
**[11:08] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono, your staff.
**[11:10] Suzuran**
Huh? This thing?
**[11:24] Gyataro**
It's so fast!
**[11:28] Sakuya**
Sogen, you might actually be a genius.
**[11:31] Sogen**
A victory for science.
**[11:33] Akira**
We haven't won yet.
**[11:35] Akira**
Suzuran, can you steer this thing?
**[11:37] Suzuran**
You got it.
**[11:43] Maksed Demon A**
What is that?
**[11:44] Rashomaru**
What is it?
**[11:45] Maksed Demon A**
It's the Shinsengumi.
**[11:48] Rashomaru**
There's no way they can catch
up to us in that thing.
**[11:51] Ichibanboshi**
It's Tsukito.
**[11:52] Akira**
What?
**[11:52] Ichibanboshi**
He's on the black ship.
Let's catch up to them.
**[11:54] Sakuya**
How are we going to get aboard the
black ship once we catch up to it?
**[11:58] Sogen**
I... don't know the answer to that question.
**[12:02] Gyataro**
What?
**[12:03] Akira**
If we crash into the black ship,
we'll torn apart.
**[12:07] Rashomaru**
How? How did they catch up?
**[12:10] Masked Demon A**
We'll increase our speed.
**[12:11] Rashomaru**
Hard starboard.
**[12:13] Rashomaru**
Prepare to fire.
**[12:15] Rashomaru**
We'll sink them.
**[12:17] Ichibanboshi**
Go!
**[12:19] Gyataro**
This isn't good! We gotta stop!
**[12:20] Bo**
We're gonna crash!
**[12:22] Suzuran**
Huh? What? What should I do?
**[12:23] Ichibanboshi**
Keep going!
**[12:25] Gyataro**
Stop, stop!
**[12:27] Suzuran**
What? Which is it?
**[12:31] Sakuya**
Evasive action!
**[12:32] Suzuran**
Come on!
**[12:34] Rashomaru**
Sink them.
**[12:41] Suzuran**
What are we gonna do about this?
**[12:44] Ichibanboshi**
We've got this! Let's blitz 'em!
**[12:46] Suzuran**
Uh, Ichibanboshi-chan?!
**[12:48] Rashomaru**
This ends now.
**[12:52] Ichibanboshi**
Here it comes.
**[13:01] Suzuran**
Ow...
**[13:05] Ichibanboshi**
Let's blitz 'em!

Seriously?
**[13:27] Suzuran**
Well, he's gone.
**[13:28] Akira**
We should go, too.
**[13:41] Sogen**
I've already adjusted the gunpowder in these.
**[13:43] Sogen**
They won't kill you.
**[13:46] Gyataro**
We won't let you guys
keep screwing things up.
**[13:50] Gyataro**
Right, Bo?
**[13:54] Gyataro**
Whoa, he's already pissed off.
**[13:57] Gyataro**
I gotta keep up.
**[13:59] Ichibanboshi**
Wait!
**[14:00] Ichibanboshi**
Answer me.
**[14:02] Ichibanboshi**
Did you kill Shozan-sensei?
**[14:06] Rashomaru**
That old man?
**[14:08] Rashomaru**
That's right. I killed him with this sword.
**[14:12] Ichibanboshi**
First you hurt Todo,
then you killed Shozan-sensei.
**[14:16] Ichibanboshi**
Rashomaru, I'll make you pay for this.
**[14:24] Rashomaru**
Are you all bark and no bite, Kondo Isami?
**[14:27] Rashomaru**
So weak.
**[14:29] Rashomaru**
Die!
**[14:32] Ichibanboshi**
You can't kill me!
**[14:40] Sogen**
Huh? They're acting strange.
**[14:42] Suzuran**
What's going on?
**[14:47] Gyataro**
Hey, what's gotten into them?
**[14:49] Bo**
Are they running away?
**[14:52] Sakuya**
What's that?
**[14:54] Sakuya**
It's the Choshu.
**[15:02] Maki**
Aim for the black ship.
**[15:04] Maki**
Fire.
**[15:14] Gyataro**
This isn't good.
**[15:19] Sakuya**
The Masked Demons are fleeing.
**[15:21] Akira**
Is everyone all right?
**[15:22] Sogen**
Those Armstrong guns' strength
and range are astonishing.
**[15:27] Suzuran**
This is no time to stand
around being impressed.
**[15:31] Ichibanboshi**
What the hell?
**[15:33] Ichibanboshi**
What the hell are those?
**[15:36] Rashomaru**
The type-zero weapon.
**[15:38] Rashomaru**
The power he created.
**[15:40] Rashomaru**
The power of Japan.
**[15:42] Masked Demon A**
The black ship will be sunk as planned.
**[15:45] Rashomaru**
I know.
**[15:48] Ichibanboshi**
I won't let you do that!
**[15:52] Rashomaru**
Stay out of my way.
**[15:57] Masked Demon B**
Rashomaru-sama, you should return quickly.
**[15:59] Townsfolk A**
The black ship...
**[16:01] Townsfolk B**
Cannons don't work against them, right?
**[16:04] Townsfolk C**
No, look.
**[16:10] Maki**
It's stronger than I expected.
**[16:13] Maki**
With the type-zero weapon, not even the
Satsuma or Tokugawa could stand against us.
**[16:17] Maki**
No, we could even fight on equal
footing with Western forces.
**[16:26] Akira**
I see. So this is what
the Masked Demons wanted.
**[16:29] Sakuya**
They wanted to show the people a weapon
that could destroy a black ship.
**[16:33] Sogen**
Not only that, but by driving the black
ship back after it fired on the coast,
**[16:39] Sogen**
they could encourage people's
enthusiasm for war.
**[16:41] Suzuran**
How convenient for those
who want to start a war.
**[16:44] Gyataro**
We gotta get out of here!
**[16:49] Rashomaru**
What we need is power! Strength!
**[16:53] Rashomaru**
The weak will always be crushed underfoot.
**[16:56] Ichibanboshi**
Sounds like you've forgotten about Ma and Pa!
**[17:01] Rashomaru**
They were weaklings crushed underfoot.
**[17:04] Ichibanboshi**
What are you talking about?
**[17:05] Ichibanboshi**
Our parents, who sacrificed their own
lives to save us, were truly strong.
**[17:10] Ichibanboshi**
That's what you call true strength, dumbass!
**[17:23] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Boy, step forward.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Step forward.
**[17:34] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Use that sword to kill your mother.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Do it, and you'll be spared.
**[17:57] Rashomaru**
You're wrong! No, no, no!
**[18:03] Rashomaru**
Ma and Pa died because they were weak.
**[18:06] Rashomaru**
They wouldn't have died if they were strong.
**[18:09] Rashomaru**
I wouldn't have had to kill them.
**[18:14] Ichibanboshi**
You're lying.
**[18:15] Rashomaru**
What?
**[18:17] Ichibanboshi**
Ever since you were little,
you'd do this when you lied.
**[18:24] Ichibanboshi**
I know now that you didn't kill Ma.
**[18:28] Ichibanboshi**
And the old Tsukito is still inside you.
**[18:33] Rashomaru**
Shut up! Don't say such annoying things.
**[18:41] Ichibanboshi**
Join the Shinsengumi, Tsukito.
**[18:43] Ichibanboshi**
I'll show you the right way.
**[18:44] Rashomaru**
He gave me the noble name Rashomaru.
**[18:56] Rashomaru**
Damn it...
**[19:30] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[19:34] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[20:02] Ichibanboshi**
Are you okay?
**[20:14] Rashomaru**
Why did you save me?
**[20:18] Ichibanboshi**
I saved Tsukito.
**[20:22] Ichibanboshi**
Rashomaru sank into the sea and died.
**[20:26] Rashomaru**
What? What happened to all the
intensity you had until a moment ago?
**[20:31] Ichibanboshi**
I won't kill you.
**[20:34] Ichibanboshi**
I'm not letting you take
the easy way out by dying.
**[20:37] Ichibanboshi**
Do everything you can to atone.
**[20:39] Ichibanboshi**
Spend the rest of your life making up for it.
**[20:43] Rashomaru**
Why won't you leave me alone?
**[20:48] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, no matter what happens,
you're number one to me.
**[21:01] Rashomaru**
You never knew how to finish anything off.
**[21:11] Akira**
Ichibanboshi!
**[21:12] Gyataro**
Are you okay?
**[21:22] Katsura**
What? Kusaka's marching on Kyoto?
**[21:25] Subordinate A**
Maki Izumi-sama used a new type of cannon
to sink a black ship in Osaka Bay,
**[21:30] Subordinate A**
and Kusaka-sama appears
to be following his lead.
**[21:33] Katsura**
What about their lord?
**[21:35] Subordinate A**
Takachika-sama has also recognized
the power of the zero-type weapon
**[21:38] Subordinate A**
and has granted his forces
permission to march.
**[21:40] Katsura**
The Masked Demons are like
a disease consuming Japan.
**[21:45] Katsura**
I'm going after Kusaka.
**[21:47] Katsura**
If Kyoto turns into a battlefield,
**[21:49] Katsura**
we'll see more casualties
than we did during the fire.
**[21:55] Tsuchimikado**
I've already given spirit
weapons to the Choshu army.
**[22:00] Tsuchimikado**
Our nation, which has been overrun
by foreigners, will be reborn.
**[22:06] Tsuchimikado**
The world will kneel before
our zero-type weapon.

**[00:16] Rashomaru**
Ma and Pa died because they were weak.
**[00:20] Rashomaru**
They wouldn't have died if they were strong.
**[00:23] Rashomaru**
I wouldn't have had to kill them.
**[00:26] Ichibanboshi**
You're lying.
**[00:28] Rashomaru**
What?
**[00:29] Ichibanboshi**
Ever since you were little,
you'd do this when you lied.
**[00:34] Ichibanboshi**
I know now that you didn't kill Ma.
**[00:38] Maki**
It's stronger than I expected.
**[00:41] Maki**
With the type-zero weapon, not even the
Satsuma or Tokugawa could stand against us.
**[00:46] Maki**
No, we could even fight on equal
footing with Western forces.
**[00:51] Akira**
I see. So this is what
the Masked Demons wanted.
**[00:54] Sakuya**
They wanted to show the people a weapon
that could destroy a black ship.
**[00:59] Sogen**
Not only that, but by driving the black
ship back after it fired on the coast,
**[01:04] Sogen**
they could encourage people's
enthusiasm for war.
**[01:07] Suzuran**
How convenient for those
who want to start a war.

**[02:45] Newsie**
If you haven't heard already,
then you're behind the times.
**[02:47] Newsie**
The Choshu sank a black
ship at the Osaka Harbor.
**[02:52] Newsie**
If you wanna know more, buy a paper.
**[02:55] Townsfolk A**
I heard the Choshu used
some kind of crazy cannon.
**[02:58] Townsfolk B**
I bet we could beat foreign nations
if we went to war with them now.
**[03:01] Townsfolk C**
For sure.
**[03:03] Tomekichi**
Have you guys forgotten about
what happened at the Ikedaya?
**[03:07] Tomekichi**
Do you have any idea how much
trouble the Choshu have—
**[03:09] Townsfolk D**
I heard there were Satsuma and
Tosa ronin at the Ikedaya.
**[03:13] Townfolk E**
Everyone's unhappy with
those Shogunate cowards.
**[03:15] Tomekichi**
If we go to war, we'll have even more orphans.
**[03:18] Tomekichi**
Widows, too.
**[03:21] Tomekichi**
We shouldn't be making
the weak more miserable.

Headquarters
**[03:26] Todo**
Let go!
**[03:27] Todo**
Let go of me, Bo!
**[03:30] Bo**
Not yet.
**[03:32] Gyataro**
We understand how you feel.
**[03:34] Akira**
But you shouldn't strain yourself right now.
**[03:35] Akira**
Your wounds will open back up.
**[03:37] Sogen**
As a doctor, I can't allow you to go.
**[03:40] Suzuran**
You wouldn't be able to do
anything even if you left now.
**[03:43] Sakuya**
Let Dumboshi handle this.
**[03:46] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, yeah.
**[03:47] Sakuya**
I understand how you feel,
but you'll have to put up with it.
**[03:49] Ichibanboshi**
What was that?
**[03:52] Todo**
You can't seriously expect
me to laze around in bed
**[03:55] Todo**
when the Choshu army is approaching.
**[03:57] Sogen**
Todo-dono, right now there's something
else we should be discussing instead.
**[04:02] Suzuran**
Yeah, let's tell the others. Right?
**[04:04] Ichibanboshi**
Tell us what?
**[04:07] Todo**
These are drawings the Masked Demons had.
**[04:10] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono and I have been
investigating the matter.
**[04:15] Akira**
The drawing Sakuya found
at the Shimamuraya...
**[04:19] Sakuya**
Was a transparency that matched
a map of Seimei Shrine.
**[04:24] Ichibanboshi**
We gotta blitz 'em.
**[04:27] Bo**
Blitz who?
**[04:30] Ichibanboshi**
Huh? Uh...
**[04:31] Ichibanboshi**
You know, right here.
**[04:33] Sakuya**
And where is that?
**[04:36] Todo**
I thought you might say that, so we've
been secretly investigating the matter.
**[04:41] Suzuran**
The Choshu and Masked Demons are
planning something with these drawings.
**[04:45] Suzuran**
We know that for certain, but...
**[04:47] Sogen**
We're still lacking conclusive evidence.
**[04:50] Ichibanboshi**
Talking about it won't get us anywhere.
**[04:53] Ichibanboshi**
If we're not sure what they mean, then we
just need to gather more of these drawings.
**[04:56] Ichibanboshi**
Let's move.
**[04:58] Ichibanboshi**
If we work together, we can move forward.
**[05:01] Ichibanboshi**
We're sure to end up somewhere.
**[05:05] Gyataro**
Listen to you. You sound
like a real commander.
**[05:07] Bo**
Yeah.
**[05:08] Akira**
I might be able to figure
something out with three days.
**[05:12] Gyataro**
Come to think of it, didn't you get
information on the Masuya before?
**[05:16] Bo**
Who's your source?
**[05:18] Akira**
Who cares who my source is?
**[05:21] Suzuran**
So it's a man.
**[05:22] Gyataro**
What?
**[05:23] Bo**
Huh?
**[05:23] Akira**
N-No!
**[05:25] Suzuran**
You're not a very good liar.
**[05:27] Suzuran**
Don't worry, I won't dig any deeper.
**[05:31] Gyataro**
Normally you speak so clearly.
**[05:42] Ichibanboshi**
*Tsukito!*
**[05:45] Ichibanboshi**
*Rashomaru sank into the sea and died.*
**[05:49] (Flashback) Rashomaru**
Why won't you leave me alone?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, no matter what happens,
you're number one to me.
**[06:42] Tsuchimikado**
You're crying.
**[06:45] Tsuchimikado**
Who and what are those tears for?
**[06:50] Rashomaru**
I kept swinging my sword with
these bloodstained hands
**[06:53] Rashomaru**
because I believed there
was no turning back now.
**[06:57] Rashomaru**
I sought only strength.
**[07:00] Rashomaru**
But I was just trying to
make myself feel better.
**[07:04] Tsuchimikado**
So you've realized this isn't
the path you believe in.
**[07:09] Rashomaru**
There's someone I want to live beside,
even if I have to spend
**[07:13] Rashomaru**
the rest of my life atoning.
**[07:16] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, as you know, I don't
chase after those who leave me.
**[07:24] Rashomaru**
I won't forget how you raised me.
**[07:31] Tsuchimikado**
I won't chase after you.
**[07:34] Tsuchimikado**
After all, your path is
determined by the stars.
**[07:39] Rashomaru**
What?
**[07:52] Tsuchimikado**
As creatures who live on
this earth bathed in light,
**[07:56] Tsuchimikado**
we cannot escape the fates
determined by the stars.
**[07:59] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, it would seem that it is your
destiny to fulfill our noble purpose.
**[08:09] Rashomaru**
No... But why...
**[08:26] Akira**
Katsura, the information you give
me is both prompt and accurate.
**[08:30] Akira**
I appreciate your help, but...
**[08:34] Katsura**
People are suspicious of our secret meetings?
**[08:37] Akira**
Indeed. I won't be able to hide
them from my companions any longer.
**[08:41] Katsura**
Be honest and tell them you're seeing a man.
**[08:44] Akira**
A m-man?
**[08:46] Katsura**
That aside, the Choshu Domain's been acting
strangely since the black ship was sunk.
**[08:55] Katsura**
Just the other day...
***SIGN*** Choshu Stronghold Mt. Tenno
**[08:59] (Flashback) Maki**
Our enemies are the Aizu
and Satsuma scoundrels.
**[09:01] (Flashback) Kusaka**
And the Shinsengumi.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Maki**
This is a great opportunity for us.
**[09:06] (Flashback) All**
Yeah!
**[09:07] (Flashback) Katsura**
Out of the way. Move.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Katsura**
Kusaka! Maki-dono! What are you thinking?
**[09:14] (Flashback) Maki**
We're going to drive off
the foreigners using the
**[09:16] (Flashback) Maki**
zero-type weapon for
our emperor, who despises them.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Kusaka**
We're going to defend the imperial palace.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Katsura**
If you start a war at the palace now,
**[09:24] (Flashback) Katsura**
you'll be turning your
weapons against the emperor.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Katsura**
The Choshu will become the emperor's enemy.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Kusaka**
Silence, you coward.
**[09:32] (Flashback) Maki**
I doubt you're aware,
**[09:34] (Flashback) Maki**
but a member of the imperial court
provided us with weapons and ammunition.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Maki**
It proves the emperor understands us.
**[09:43] (Flashback) All**
Yeah!
**[09:45] (Flashback) Katsura**
The imperial court?
**[09:47] Akira**
That's ridiculous.
**[09:49] Akira**
The imperial palace provided
them with weapons?
**[09:51] Katsura**
Apparently they intend to tear apart
Kyoto from the inside as well.
**[09:55] Akira**
The Choshu, the Masked Demons,
and the mysterious traitor...
**[10:00] Katsura**
There's no way I'm helping
the Choshu with their war.
**[10:03] Katsura**
Let me be your man for a while.
**[10:07] Akira**
My man?
**[10:11] Katamori**
There's a traitor in the imperial court?
**[10:14] Akizuki**
Todo, control yourself.
**[10:16] Akizuki**
Casting suspicion on the imperial
court is a serious accusation.
**[10:19] Todo**
I know that.
**[10:21] Todo**
But if there's a traitor,
we must act accordingly.
**[10:28] Akizuki**
My lord, what shall we do?
**[10:32] Katamori**
Don't tell anyone about this. And Todo...
**[10:36] Todo**
Yes, my lord?
**[10:37] Katamori**
You're wounded.
**[10:38] Katamori**
While the Shinsengumi heads into battle,
I'd like you to guard the palace.
**[10:43] Todo**
Understood.
**[10:44] Katamori**
This war will determine Japan's future.
**[10:48] Katamori**
We can't afford to lose.
**[11:17] Gyataro**
All right!
**[11:18] Bo**
We found...
**[11:19] Sakuya**
...a new...
**[11:19] Ichibanboshi**
...drawing!
**[11:23] Suzuran**
Wow, we gathered a bunch of them.
**[11:26] Sogen**
Excluding duplicates, there are five types.
**[11:29] Gyataro**
So one really was a map of Seimei Shrine.
**[11:33] Bo**
Are the other drawings of shrines, too?
**[11:35] Suzuran**
How many shrines do you
think there are in Kyoto?
**[11:37] Sakuya**
It'll be impossible to identify them.
**[11:42] Akira**
Guys, there's something I need to tell you.
**[11:45] Katsura**
The Choshu Domain's main
force is at Mt. Tenno.
**[11:50] Katsura**
This is confidential information,
**[11:54] Katsura**
but the Choshu army is planning
to head from Mt. Tenno
**[11:56] Katsura**
to Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine.
**[11:58] Todo**
Who are you?
**[12:00] Suzuran**
Iwashimizu...
**[12:02] Suzuran**
That's it.
**[12:03] Akira**
Wait. He's on our side.
**[12:05] Katsura**
I'm her man.
**[12:07] Akira**
Yes, he's—no! This is no time for jokes!
**[12:10] Katsura**
I haven't introduced myself yet.
I'm Katsura Kogoro.
**[12:13] Bo**
Katsura of the Choshu Domain.
**[12:16] Gyataro**
Hold on, you're an enemy of the Shinsengumi.
**[12:19] Gyataro**
I'm amazed you came to our headquarters.
**[12:24] Sakuya**
Now that you've heard our discussion,
I can't let you leave alive.
**[12:27] Ichibanboshi**
Wait. Let's hear what he has to say.
**[12:30] Ichibanboshi**
After all, he's Akira's man.
**[12:31] Akira**
This is a misunderstanding!
**[12:34] Katsura**
I'm impressed, commander of the Shinsengumi.
**[12:36] Katsura**
I appreciate how broad-minded you are.
**[12:38] Ichibanboshi**
Katsura-san, what's an important member
of the Choshu Domain doing here?
**[12:42] Katsura**
I want to stop my Choshu countrymen.
**[12:45] Katsura**
I don't want to cause
harm with a foolish war.
**[12:48] Katsura**
Let me help the Shinsengumi.
**[12:51] Ichibanboshi**
In that case, you're our friend.
**[12:53] Ichibanboshi**
I look forward to working with you.
**[12:54] Katsura**
Likewise.
**[12:55] Todo**
What do you think you're—
**[12:57] Suzuran**
Done.
**[13:00] Suzuran**
Bo-chan, could you finish this off
by linking them with a red line?
**[13:11] Bo**
Ta-dah!
**[13:13] Todo**
It's...
**[13:14] Ichibanboshi**
A star.
**[13:15] Suzuran**
It's the Onmyodo pentagram ritual.
**[13:18] Suzuran**
They were planning to burn
a star shape from the start.
**[13:21] Todo**
Onmyodo...
**[13:23] Gyataro**
What's up?
**[13:25] Todo**
Nothing.
**[13:26] Suzuran**
Katsura-san, thank you.
**[13:27] Suzuran**
It all came together because of you.
**[13:29] Katsura**
You're welcome.
**[13:31] Sakuya**
If we work together, we'll end up somewhere.
**[13:35] Ichibanboshi**
What's that?
**[13:36] Sakuya**
It's what you said.
**[13:38] Ichibanboshi**
Is that right?
**[13:41] Sakuya**
Even I feel comfortable counting on you now.
**[13:46] Ichibanboshi**
I'll take that as a compliment.
**[13:49] Ichibanboshi**
This time, let's blitz 'em for real!
**[13:53] All**
Yes, sir!
**[13:58] Tsuchimikado**
The stars have risen.
**[14:02] Tsuchimikado**
Rashomaru, let us begin the banquet.

**[14:29] Todo**
Please watch over them.
**[14:37] Akizuki**
The Choshu forces are composed
of roughly 2,000 men.
**[14:41] Akizuki**
The Aizu are also preparing for battle,
**[14:45] Akizuki**
but are you certain trusting the
Shinsengumi was the right choice?
**[14:50] Katamori**
It's true that they're former criminals.
**[14:52] Katamori**
But their love for this city
**[14:55] Katamori**
and their desire to protect Kyoto
is stronger than anyone else's.
**[15:01] Ichibanboshi**
Everyone know their positions?
**[15:04] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya and I are... where are we going?
**[15:08] Ichibanboshi**
Well, whatever. In any case,
let's get there first.
**[15:11] Sakuya**
Shut and follow me, Dumboshi.
**[15:14] Bo**
You're overexcited.
**[15:15] Gyataro**
Don't let them make you admit defeat.
**[15:17] Suzuran**
You never change, Ichibanboshi-chan.
**[15:20] Sogen**
I'm used to it.
**[15:22] Akira**
It still makes me uneasy.
**[15:24] Ichibanboshi**
Let's go. The Shinsengumi's got a job to do.
**[15:37] Tomekichi**
Let's go.
**[15:42] Tomekichi**
Are you okay?
**[15:45] Okayo**
Can you stand?
**[15:46] Urchin**
Yeah.
**[15:48] Tomekichi**
Thanks, miss.
**[15:50] Okayo**
None needed. I was just doing the right thing.
**[15:55] Tomekichi**
This is wrong.
**[15:57] Tomekichi**
This is definitely the wrong way.
**[16:01] Okayo**
The Shinsengumi is protecting the city.
**[16:05] Okayo**
We should do what we can, too.
**[16:13] Sogen**
We'll be arriving at Oharano Shrine soon.
**[16:17] Suzuran**
Look at that.
**[16:21] Choshu**
Aim!
**[16:24] Choshu**
Fire!
**[16:28] Sogen**
They're using spirit weapons.
**[16:31] Suzuran**
The souls are crying.
**[16:33] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono?
**[16:36] Suzuran**
Those weapons taint people's souls.
**[16:40] Suzuran**
I can see it.
**[16:43] Suzuran**
Though I doubt you believe in
anything as unscientific as souls.
**[16:49] Sogen**
That which can't be seen simply
hasn't been studied yet.
**[16:53] Sogen**
Therefore, the most unscientific
thing a person can do
**[16:58] Sogen**
is refuse to believe in
things they can't see.
**[17:04] Gyataro**
Yahoo!
**[17:08] Gyataro**
I won't let those kids cry again!
**[17:16] Bo**
For the people who depend on us!
**[17:20] Choshu A**
Spirit cannons, forward.
**[17:25] Gyataro**
Seriously?
**[17:27] Bo**
Those things sank a black ship.
**[17:29] Choshu A**
Fire!
**[17:36] Katsura**
Kusaka's soldiers should be at Iwaya Shrine.
**[17:42] Katsura**
Kusaka!
**[17:46] Akira**
What is this?
**[17:54] Kusaka**
Katsura...
**[17:56] Katsura**
So this is the path you've chosen.
**[18:01] Kusaka**
I'd risk my own life to serve as
ammunition for the spirit weapons.
**[18:06] Kusaka**
Why don't you?
**[18:08] Katsura**
Watch out!
**[18:12] Ichibanboshi**
Damn it. They beat us here.
**[18:15] Sakuya**
Look.
**[18:19] Ichibanboshi**
It's Tsukito.
**[18:20] Sakuya**
Wait. There's something off about him.
***SIGN*** Imperial Palace
**[19:10] Todo**
Tsuchimikado, you should
leave this place immediately.
**[19:13] Todo**
The rest of the imperial
court has already evacuated.
**[19:17] Todo**
Tsuchimikado.
**[19:20] Todo**
Excuse me.
**[19:34] Todo**
What are you doing, Tsuchimikado?
**[19:38] Tsuchimikado**
These days onmyoji deal only
in astronomy and calendars,
**[19:43] Tsuchimikado**
but they once presided over
the paths of the stars
**[19:46] Tsuchimikado**
and oversaw fates none could resist.
**[20:01] Todo**
So it really was you.
**[20:03] Todo**
You're the masked man who killed
the original Shinsengumi!
**[20:08] Tsuchimikado**
Todo Heisuke, you too were
brought here by the stars.
**[20:16] Todo**
I will avenge them!
**[20:20] Tsuchimikado**
Stay there and watch.
**[20:23] Tsuchimikado**
You have nothing to worry about.
**[20:26] Tsuchimikado**
Soon you'll be joining your companions.
**[20:45] Tsuchimikado**
No one can defy fate,
**[20:49] Tsuchimikado**
except for Abe no Haruakira-sama.
**[20:54] Todo**
What could that ancient
onmyoji possibly do now?
**[20:57] Tsuchimikado**
But you've already met Haruakira-sama,
**[21:02] Tsuchimikado**
here in this place.
**[21:06] Todo**
Could it be?
**[21:24] Todo**
Resurrecting that monster to help
the Choshu Domain is excessive.
**[21:31] Todo**
This proves how far Onmyodo has fallen.
**[21:36] Tsuchimikado**
I'm not only going to have
Haruakira-sama wage war
**[21:40] Tsuchimikado**
within our nation but
against foreign nations as well.
**[21:43] Todo**
Foreign nations? What do you intend to do?
**[21:47] Tsuchimikado**
Japan will be reborn anew
**[21:51] Tsuchimikado**
through the resurrection of Haruakira-sama.
**[22:04] Haruakira**
Who dares disturb my slumber?

**[00:15] Todo**
It's...
**[00:17] Ichibanboshi**
A star.
**[00:18] Suzuran**
They were planning to burn
a star shape from the start.
**[00:22] Todo**
So it really was you.
**[00:25] Todo**
You're the masked man who killed
the original Shinsengumi!

Shine On! The Shinsengumi of Criminals
**[02:06] Gyataro**
Come and get me, you...
**[02:08] Gyataro**
Huh?
**[02:10] Choshu Soldier A**
Withdraw the troops!
**[02:11] Choshu Soldier B**
We're done setting fire here!
**[02:13] Choshu Soldier C**
Head back to headquarters!
**[02:15] Gyataro**
Wh-What's going on?
**[02:23] Bo**
They're glowing.
**[02:28] Katsura**
Are you all right?
**[02:30] Katsura**
What's this?
**[02:33] Akira**
According to Todo, the real
Okita Soji's soul is in here.
**[02:38] Katsura**
Spirit weapons and glowing swords.
**[02:42] Katsura**
Either way, this battle is
beyond human understanding.
**[02:48] Sogen**
The Choshu forces have retreated.
**[02:51] Suzuran**
So why are our swords glowing now?
**[02:56] Suzuran**
Hey! You're kidding, right?
**[02:58] Sogen**
Suzuran-dono?
**[03:00] Sogen**
It simply looks like a glowing pillar to me,
**[03:04] Sogen**
but do you see something else?
**[03:07] Suzuran**
There are a hundred of them—no, a thousand.
**[03:10] Suzuran**
An incredible number of souls
are gathering around that light.
**[03:14] Sogen**
We should head there as well.
**[03:15] Suzuran**
Yeah.
**[03:26] Haruakira**
You're no fools.
**[03:29] Haruakira**
Where is the diviner who summoned
me from the underworld?
**[03:32] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito, what are you talking about?
**[03:35] Sakuya**
That's not your brother. It's that
monster that's speaking to us.
**[03:42] Haruakira**
So the one who summoned me is over there.
**[03:50] Rashomaru**
Brother, you have to run.
**[03:53] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito?
**[03:55] Haruakira**
My mind...
**[03:57] Rashomaru**
...and Haruakira-sama's are still merged...
**[03:59] Haruakira**
...within this body.
**[04:04] Rashomaru**
Tsuchimikado-sama took me and
raised me for a noble purpose.
**[04:11] Rashomaru**
I had no idea his plan was to have the
resurrected Abe no Haruakira inhabit my body.
**[04:19] Sakuya**
I see. So the pentagram drawn across Kyoto
**[04:23] Sakuya**
was a ritual meant to resurrect
a thousand-year-old onmyoji.
**[04:27] Ichibanboshi**
I don't know who this Honolulu clown is...
**[04:32] Ichibanboshi**
But give me back Tsukito!
**[04:35] Haruakira**
Pitiful.
**[04:41] Sakuya**
Dumboshi!
**[04:42] Ichibanboshi**
Ow...
**[04:44] Haruakira**
No one can defy the stars.
**[04:48] Haruakira**
All you need is to prepare
yourself to accept your fate.
**[04:51] Sakuya**
Haruakira,
**[04:53] Sakuya**
I'll send you back to the underworld.
**[05:06] Haruakira**
It is futile.
**[05:13] Haruakira**
Don't rush to your deaths.
**[05:15] Haruakira**
Allow your body to be
consumed by illness and die.
**[05:22] Haruakira**
That is your fate.
**[05:27] Sakuya**
My fate...
**[05:30] Ichibanboshi**
Sakuya!
**[05:32] Ichibanboshi**
This guy is bad news.
**[05:34] Sakuya**
It's not possible for us
to get your brother back.
**[05:37] Sakuya**
He's not someone we can take
on as people bound by fate.
**[05:40] Ichibanboshi**
What are you talking about?
**[05:42] Sakuya**
Accept it. He's right.
**[05:44] Sakuya**
It's our fate. Our destiny.
**[05:46] Ichibanboshi**
I don't care about fate.
**[05:48] Sakuya**
Our paths have already been decided for us.
**[05:51] Ichibanboshi**
Then I'll change it.
**[05:53] Ichibanboshi**
I'll decide what path I take.
**[05:56] Ichibanboshi**
And if that doesn't work,
then I'll take a side road instead.
**[06:02] Sakuya**
Your stupidity may have infected me.
**[06:05] Sakuya**
Even I'm starting to feel
like I could do that.
**[06:08] Ichibanboshi**
Let's go.
**[06:09] Sakuya**
All right.
**[06:12] Tsuchimikado**
It was a blessing of fate that I
acquired a body more suitable than mine
**[06:17] Tsuchimikado**
for when I needed Abe no
Haruakira-sama's strength.
**[06:23] Todo**
You've been gathering souls so
you could resurrect that monster.
**[06:28] Tsuchimikado**
My only miscalculation was that the
souls of the Shinsengumi leaders
**[06:32] Tsuchimikado**
resided in their swords and periodically
interfered with my plans.
**[06:37] Todo**
You set fire to the city and killed innocent
people because of your blind faith.
**[06:41] Tsuchimikado**
I simply did what I could for
our country as an onmyoji.
**[06:47] Todo**
You did this for yourself.
**[06:50] Tsuchimikado**
That's simply written in the stars as well.
**[06:53] Todo**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[06:55] Todo**
There isn't a shred of
truth behind your words!
**[07:05] Aizu Soldier A**
Hold out!
**[07:06] Aizu Soldier B**
Push them back!
**[07:07] Choshu Soldier A**
Keep pushing!
**[07:09] Maki**
The emperor will be ours!
**[07:13] Katsura**
Maki! Are you there, Maki Izumi?
**[07:15] Maki**
Kogoro, why are you trying
to stop the Choshu?
**[07:19] Katsura**
You've more than demonstrated our strength.
**[07:22] Katsura**
That's enough. Withdraw your forces.
**[07:24] Maki**
Have you forgotten the change
in government of August 18th?
**[07:28] Maki**
Now is the time to settle our old grudge.
**[07:31] Katsura**
Is that really worth burning
down Kyoto for, you idiot?
**[07:34] Maki**
Silence! We are on the side of righteousness!
**[07:38] Aizu Solider A**
The Forbidden Gates...
**[07:40] Aizu Soldier B**
The Hamaguri Imperial Gates are opening!
**[07:42] Choshu Soldier**
Charge!
**[07:47] Katsura**
You fools.
**[07:50] Katsura**
This is no time for humans to
be fighting amongst ourselves.
**[07:58] Sakuya**
What's the matter?
**[08:00] Ichibanboshi**
I must've broken it earlier.
**[08:02] Sakuya**
Can you hold a sword?
**[08:10] Ichibanboshi**
Just barely.
**[08:15] Sakuya**
I doubt you'd listen even
if I told you not to fight.
**[08:23] Ichibanboshi**
Now I won't drop my sword.
**[08:25] Ichibanboshi**
You sure about this, though?
**[08:27] Sakuya**
Until now, I've cut people down according
to the rules of hired killers
**[08:32] Sakuya**
and counted the number of people I killed.
**[08:36] Sakuya**
But even after my thousandth kill,
I didn't see the world any differently.
**[08:41] Sakuya**
From now on, I'll count the
number of people I save,
**[08:44] Sakuya**
just like you told me to.
**[08:46] Ichibanboshi**
That makes me number one.
**[08:48] Ichibanboshi**
I'm the first guy you saved.
**[08:50] Sakuya**
Yeah.
**[09:00] Akira**
What are all of you doing here?
**[09:02] Gyataro**
It's our swords.
**[09:03] Bo**
They won't stop glowing.
**[09:05] Sogen**
We simply came in the direction
that made them glow most brightly.
**[09:09] Suzuran**
The souls gathered here
probably did the same.
**[09:22] Gyataro**
Wh-What the heck is that?
**[09:24] Sogen**
There's someone inside. It's...
**[09:26] Bo**
Rashomaru.
**[09:28] Ichibanboshi**
Hey!
**[09:30] Akira**
Ichibanboshi.
**[09:32] Gyataro**
You're all right.
**[09:33] Sakuya**
Be careful.
**[09:34] Sakuya**
That's Abe no Haruakira,
resurrected by the pentagram ritual.
**[09:38] Suzuran**
Haruakira?
**[09:40] Ichibanbos**
We're gonna stop him.
**[09:41] Bo**
I'm not sure what's going on...
**[09:44] Sogen**
But it would seem we have no other choice.
**[09:46] Haruakira**
More bothersome fireflies
that glitter and glow.
**[09:52] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito...

**[10:05] Todo**
You killed Kondo-san, Hijikata-san,
and the other members of the Shinsengumi.
**[10:11] Todo**
I will kill you. Even if I fall—
**[10:15] Tsuchimikado**
Your substitutes will kill me instead?
**[10:22] Tsuchimikado**
Unfortunately, that wish
will not be fulfilled.
**[10:26] Tsuchimikado**
The stars have already risen.
**[10:40] Haruakira**
I shall scatter you.
**[10:43] Sogen**
Its power is beyond the realm of science.
**[10:46] Sogen**
It would make a truly
fascinating research subject.
**[10:49] Suzuran**
If we survive, you can do that all you want.
**[11:04] Haruakira**
I can feel the stars flowing into my body.
**[11:07] Akira**
Its body...
**[11:08] Sakuya**
Is he regenerating?
**[11:10] Bo**
We need to beat him quickly.
**[11:12] Rashomaru**
It's futile. Haruakira-sama is a weapon
meant to fight foreign nations.
**[11:16] Haruakira**
You're a nuisance, Tsukito.
**[11:18] Haruakira**
Leave me and go to the other world.
**[11:20] Rashomaru**
Don't fight him!
**[11:22] Suzuran**
He's inhabiting Tsukito-kun's body.
**[11:25] Suzuran**
If we want to stop Abe no Haruakira,
we'll have to kill him.
**[11:28] Ichibanboshi**
What are you talking about?
**[11:30] Ichibanboshi**
We'll beat this guy and save Tsukito.
**[11:33] Ichibanboshi**
Guys, lend me your strength.
**[11:35] All**
Yes, sir.
**[11:40] Gyataro**
I'm first.
**[11:45] Haruakira**
Barely a scratch.
**[11:48] Sogen**
Our weapons may not work
against your mysterious body,
**[11:52] Sogen**
but they work on physical objects.
**[11:55] Bo**
Akira!
**[11:58] Akira**
Suzuran!
**[12:02] Suzuran**
How do you feel about getting zapped?
**[12:12] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito...
**[12:13] Ichibanboshi**
I'm coming to save you!
**[12:18] Sakuya**
Now!
**[12:21] Gyataro**
Heck yeah!
**[12:27] Akira**
This ends now!
**[12:36] Tsuchimikado**
What?
**[12:40] Tsuchimikado**
The substitutes...
**[12:46] Ichibanboshi**
Let's get you out of here.
**[12:49] Rashomaru**
Brother, I...
**[12:54] Rashomaru**
I wanted to become stronger.
**[12:59] Rashomaru**
Pa and Ma died because I was weak.
**[13:04] Rashomaru**
If I didn't become stronger, the things
that mattered most would be taken from me.
**[13:08] Rashomaru**
I thought Tsuchimikado-sama was right
and this country should do the same.
**[13:15] Rashomaru**
But...
**[13:19] Tsuchimikado**
Haruakira-sama...
**[13:21] Tsuchimikado**
I'm on my way.
**[13:26] Todo**
This is nonsense.
**[13:27] Todo**
Have you lost your mind, Tsuchimikado?
**[13:30] Tsuchimikado**
Todo Heisuke, let us meet again.
**[13:34] Todo**
Again?
**[13:36] Tsuchimikado**
After all, that is our
fate written in the stars.
**[14:13] Gyataro**
The monster turned into an onmyoji.
**[14:15] Suzuran**
This is Abe no Haruakira's true form.
**[14:31] Maki**
Fire!
**[14:38] Aizu Soldier A**
We can't hold out any longer!
**[14:44] Haruakira**
Die.
**[14:49] Haruakira**
What are you doing?
**[14:50] Haruakira**
Stay out of my way, Tsukito.
**[14:52] Rashomaru**
I finally realized something
after acquiring your power.
**[14:58] Rashomaru**
This isn't true strength.
**[15:05] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito?
**[15:07] Rashomaru**
Brother, I'm going to join Pa and Ma.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Use that sword to kill your mother.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Masked Man**
Do it, and you'll be spared.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Tsukito**
Ma...
**[15:46] Rashomaru**
Haruakira! Tsuchimikado!
**[15:50] Rashomaru**
This is the strength that will overcome fate!
**[15:54] Haruakira**
Don't! Don't do it!
**[16:22] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito!
**[16:24] Maki**
Fire!
**[16:27] Choshu Soldier B**
What?
**[16:30] Choshu Soldier C**
What's happening?
**[16:33] Maki**
What's going on?
**[16:34] Choshu Member A**
It's no use! The swords and
guns have stopped working!
**[16:37] Choshu Member B**
None of the spirit weapons can be fired!
**[16:41] Maki**
So this is the end.
**[16:52] Ichibanboshi**
Tsukito...
**[16:55] Rashomaru**
Ma killed herself to save me.
**[17:02] Ichibanboshi**
I know.
**[17:04] Rashomaru**
Did I become strong like Pa and Ma?
**[17:11] Ichibanboshi**
You sure did. You were strong.
**[17:15] Ichibanboshi**
Stronger than anyone.
**[17:36] Katamori**
Todo.
**[17:40] Todo**
It's all over.
**[17:43] Akizuki**
What is this?
**[17:45] Todo**
What used to be Tsuchimikado.
**[17:48] Katamori**
We must report this to the
imperial court immediately.

Pa, Ma, Tsukito...
**[18:54] Ichibanboshi**
You think this shitty
world has change a little?
**[19:08] Ichibanboshi**
Yeah, you're right.
**[19:10] Todo**
* Kondo-san, Hijikata-san, and other*
* members of the Shinsengumi...*
**[19:15] Todo**
*The substitutes have done an impressive job.*
**[19:20] Todo**
* They protected the city*
* of Kyoto and its people.*
**[19:25] Suzuran**
Hello.
**[19:30] Suzuran**
What have you been reading?
**[19:32] Sogen**
I'm trying to see if I could
invent a new weapon that would
**[19:35] Sogen**
surpass even Abe no Haruakira.
**[19:37] Suzuran**
What? Sogen-chan, are you
even worse than Tsuchimikado?
**[19:42] Sogen**
But it doesn't seem possible.
**[19:53] Katsura**
The Choshu are enemies of the emperor now.
**[19:56] Katsura**
The emperor officially ordered
the Shogunate to punish them.
**[19:59] Akira**
What are you going to do now?
**[20:02] Katsura**
I'm going into hiding for a while.
**[20:05] Katsura**
More importantly, I'd like to
hear your answer to my proposal.
**[20:08] Akira**
W-Well, I...
**[20:10] Akira**
I may or may not be willing to consider it.
**[20:17] Katsura**
That's a rather vague response.
**[20:20] Akira**
Some things are better left unclear!
**[20:24] Chief Carpenter**
It's a waste for you to be
part of the Shinsengumi.
**[20:28] Chief Carpenter**
You sure you won't become a carpenter?
**[20:30] Bo**
I can't.
**[20:31] Bo**
I'm the tenth unit captain.
**[20:37] Tomekichi**
Hey, this is cooked white rice.
**[20:39] Tomekichi**
Gyata-nii, you prepared
quite the feast for us.
**[20:42] Gyataro**
You betcha. This is for all of you.
**[20:45] All**
Thanks!
**[20:50] Okayo**
I'm thinking about teaching the
orphans here at this temple school.
**[20:54] Ichibanboshi**
That's a great idea.
**[20:56] Okayo**
I believe an education is the
quickest shortcut out of poverty.
**[21:02] Ichibanboshi**
I'll come hang out sometime.
**[21:04] Ichibanboshi**
When I do, teach me to write "Kondo Isami."
**[21:08] Ichibanboshi**
I just can't ever seem to remember how.
**[21:13] Okayo**
Gladly.
**[21:15] Todo**
*It's possible the substitutes achieved*
**[21:18] Todo**
* something the real Shinsengumi*
* couldn't have done.*
**[21:24] Todo**
*I'd like to continue watching over*
**[21:29] Todo**
* this country's future and their*
* sincerity a while longer.*
**[21:36] Katamori**
Now that the Choshu have withdrawn,
**[21:39] Katamori**
I'm concerned about the
Satsuma and Tosa's movements.
**[21:42] Akizuki**
Sakamoto Ryoma of the Tosa Domain
**[21:44] Akizuki**
is apparently in contact with
Saigo Takamori of the Satsuma Domain.
**[21:48] Katamori**
I see.
**[21:49] Akizuki**
We should patrol the city even
more rigorously than we have been.
**[21:54] Katamori**
Which means we'll have to rely
on the Shinsengumi after all.
**[22:01] Suzuran**
Is everyone here?
**[22:03] Sogen**
The commander hasn't arrived yet.
**[22:05] Ichibanboshi**
Sorry, sorry.
**[22:07] Bo**
You're late.
**[22:08] Gyataro**
We can't get started
unless you're here first.
**[22:11] Akira**
Commander, if you would.
**[22:13] Sakuya**
I'm pretty tired of hearing it.
**[22:15] Ichibanboshi**
All right, here we go.
**[22:18] Ichibanboshi**
Let's blitz 'em!
**[22:20] All**
Yes, sir!
