[00:17] Townsfolk Child
Hey, mister.
[00:18] Ichibanboshi
Huh?
[00:19] Townsfolk Child
Thanks.
[00:22] Ichibanboshi
Someday you'll have to
protect your pa and ma.
[00:30] Townsfolk Child
Yeah.
[00:31] Ichibanboshi
Become the strongest you can be.

[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.

Not bad.

A hired killer?

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.

Come on, get the horse moving.

You got it.

So black! So big!

They're like floating castles.

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!

You're interested in honing your sword
skills even after seeing those cannons?
[18:41] Ichibanboshi
Of course I am.

But you don't like swords.

Yeah. Every time I see a sword,

After all, you'll be dead before

"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?

What's that hourglass for?
[23:48] Sakuya
The rules of hired killers
say I must cut down
[23:51] Sakuya
my opponent before the sand runs out.
[23:52] Ichibanboshi
Oh...
[23:53] Sakuya
What are you hiding?
[23:55] Ichibanboshi
Nothing.
