[00:32] Rashomaru
    What are they doing here?
[00:35] Rashomaru
    They're all people I've killed.
[00:39] Rashomaru
    What are you trying to do?
[00:42] Rashomaru
    Are you here to condemn me?
[00:45] Rashomaru
    You couldn't wield swords, but now I'm
    using your souls to help this nation.
[00:50] Rashomaru
    You should be grateful.

    Defend! The Black American Ships
[02:46] Katamori
    The message Shozan-sensei left for us
[02:48] Katamori
    was probably that the Masked Demons'
    next goal is to blow up foreign ships.
[02:55] Katamori
    I command the Shinsengumi...
[02:57] Katamori
    to head to Sakai Port in Osaka.
[03:04] Ichibanboshi
    Damn, the black ships are awesome.
[03:08] Ichibanboshi
    That thing is crazy, huh?
SIGN    Osaka
     Sakai Port
[03:12] Ichibanboshi
    I'm so hype!
[03:14] Sakuya
    Shut up, Dumboshi. We're here
     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.

    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.

[21:35] 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.

    a disease consuming Japan.
[21:45] Katsura
    I'm going after Kusaka.
[21:47] Katsura
    If Kyoto turns into a battlefield,
[21:49] Katsura

    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.
