Ow!

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...
[15:03] Gyataro
...for a fight.

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.

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.

It's too dangerous.
[16:37] Gyataro
This is our job to do.

But you'd attract too much attention.
[16:41] Tamekichi
I'll go first and check things out.

You can come once I give the signal.
[16:45] Ichibanboshi
Fine, we're counting on you.
[16:47] Ichibanboshi

[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.
[17:19] Mask B
Come.
[17:20] Mask B
I'll confirm the swords are real.

They're coming.
[18:20] Akira
I don't see anything.
[18:25] Sakuya
They came on a boat after all.

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.
[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?

You make me sick.

The tables have turned!
[20:25] Gyataro
Give yourselves up!
[20:29] Gyataro
What's that?

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?

Welp, I guess we'll take
care of this lickety-split!

You don't deserve to call yourself that.
