    Ow!
[00:45] Bo
    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.

[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...

    ...for a fight.

    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

    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.

    It's a lumber hut.

    There could be lookouts up ahead.

    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?

    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.

    Come.

    I'll confirm the swords are real.

    Let's blitz 'em.

    isn't that easily—

    What's this?
[17:46] Tamekichi
    Ow! This isn't what I was promised!

    Boy, your life will be used
    in service of the nation.

    They're coming.

    I don't see anything.

    They came on a boat after all.
[18:27] Sakuya
    I'll go alone.

    I'll wait for them here.

    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.

    Take this!

    That's enough, Shinsengumi!

    What?

    Sorry, guys.

    Kids are useful for transporting
    weapons and as hostages.

    You make me sick.
