    We need to inspire the people
    of Saga to rise up as one!
[00:10] Rebels
    We'll get rid of the crooks that
    have taken control of the country!
[00:13] Rebels
    And this time we, the samurai of Saga, will—
[00:16] Kiichi
    Yugiri-san!
[00:19] Kiichi
    Sorry to trouble you for the medicine...
[00:23] Yugiri
    How's your grandfather doing?
[00:25] Kiichi
    No real change.
[00:27] Kiichi
    He spends most of the day in bed.
[00:29] Kiichi
    Even though I've finally found
    a path to getting Saga back...
[00:33] Yugiri
    You certainly seem to
    have more comrades now.
[00:36] Kiichi
    Yeah!
[00:37] Kiichi
    We're putting together
    a petition right now...
[00:41] Kiichi
    S-See? We're gonna ask the prefectural
    magistrate to bring Saga back.
[00:45] Kiichi
    We're even gonna go around talking
    to a bunch of the old timers from here...
[00:50] Yugiri
    That'll certainly be a big step.
[00:52] Kiichi
    Yeah!
[00:53] Rebels
    How are we going to accomplish anything
    if you're acting like a coward?!
[00:55] Rebels
    You call yourself a samurai of Saga?!
[00:57] Rebels
    Step outside right now! It's time
    someone beat some sense into you!
[01:00] Kiichi
    Th-They're just a little worked up,
    y'know... I'll go stop them.
[01:01] Rebels
    That's fine by me! It'll be a good chance
    to show you how empty your heads are!
[01:05] Rebels
    Is that how you talk to your elders?!
[01:06] Kiichi
    Everyone, what's going on here?
[01:08] Rebels
    I'm just telling the truth!
SIGN    Petition to the Nagasaki County Magistrate
SIGN    In Meiji 9, Saga was abolished and integrated into Nagasaki prefecture. There have been a variety of problems including the management of communities of assorted size; supervision of agriculture, manufacture, and trade; and difficulties arising from reclassification of what lands belong in which prefecture. It is our belief that the only viable solution is to reestablish Saga prefecture. We humbly request the reestablishment of Saga prefecture. I humbly ask for your consideration on this issue.

[03:53] Kiichi
    Maybe next time.
[03:54] Kiichi
    See you, Yugiri-san.
[04:00] Itou
    The old ruling class of Saga...
[04:02] Itou
    Survivors of the Saga War, I'd guess.
[04:06] Itou
    You should watch yourself, too.
[04:08] Yugiri
    What do you mean?
[04:20] Rebels
    Those damned merchants have
    finally agreed to our demands.
[04:23] Rebels
    This should be enough to keep
    us operational for a while.
[04:26] Rebels
    What should we do about Momozaki-dono?
    Should we let him in on this?
[04:30] Rebels
    Don't bother.
[04:31] Rebels
    I'm more worried about
    getting the guns in place.
[04:33] Rebels
    You're sure the cannons Nabeshima
    is bringing in from Tsukiji
[04:35] Rebels
    will be in place to target
    the main road to Nagasaki?
[04:38] Rebels
    Yeah, one of the merchants
    gave me his guarantee.
[04:43] Xu Fu
    I suppose what will be, will be.
[04:46] Xu Fu
    Kiichi is the one who accepted them
    as comrades in his efforts to save Saga.
[04:52] Xu Fu
    The world of man will always
    be shaped by the actions of men...
[04:55] Xu Fu
    That's karma for you.
[05:04] Yugiri
    Kiichi-han has been complaining that you
    haven't taken any of the medicine I sent you.
[05:10] Xu Fu
    There's no point. I am Saga.
[05:12] Xu Fu
    No, Saga is me...
[05:15] Xu Fu
    If it's going to fade from existence,
    there'll be nothing left of me, either.
[05:20] Yugiri
    And you're convinced
    Saga's fate is set in stone,
[05:24] Yugiri
    in spite of everything
    Kiichi-han's been doing?
[05:26] Xu Fu
    The heavens do favor him.
[05:28] Xu Fu
    Even now, I can see the star of Saga's
    salvation shining over him...
[05:34] Xu Fu
    But, in the end, it will be the hands of
    men who decide matters of life and death.
[05:39] Xu Fu
    As things stand, I don't have enough
    strength to offer any real help...
[05:44] Yugiri
    Drink this.
[05:46] Xu Fu
    But... I-I just said...
[06:05] Yugiri
    Make sure to have some every day,
    until the box is empty.
[06:12] Kiichi
    N-Now hang on a second!
[06:15] Rebels
    No petition can ever make
    up for the anger we feel!
[06:20] Kiichi
    B-But we aren't trying
    to start a war here...
[06:24] Rebels
    What we need right now,
    more than anything else, is action!
[06:27] Kiichi
    J-Just give me some more time, please...
[06:30] Kiichi
    I know I can get our Saga—
[06:33] Rebels
    A boy like you can't understand!
[06:35] Rebels
    What it felt like for us,
     eight years ago, seeing Saga die...
SIGN    Let's bring back Saga.
SIGN    Let's return Saga to the prefecture it was before Meiji 9. Has living in the current Saga caused you any trouble? Whether it's filing official paperwork, wanting to purchase new land, or open a new business, contacting the prefectural office becomes necessary. And when there is a distance of 20 ri to said office, it becomes a major difficulty. When Saga was abolished, it meant the name of our homeland was lost. Is there any need to accept these inconveniences on top of that? We have endured to this day, since the fighting of Meiji 7. We have made personal sacrifices as a result of the outcome of that war. There is no need to endure any longer. The restoration of Saga will improve all our lives. The time has come to re-assess our current condition; to think about Saga prefecture, our homeland, and our future. We will take action to improve our lives.
[06:49] Itou
    Isn't enough enough?
[06:53] Itou
    You did what you could,
[06:55] Itou
    but there's nothing but
    destruction ahead, now.
[07:01] Itou
    The survivors of the Saga War
    are arming up again.
[07:03] Itou
    There's no way the army ignores that.
[07:05] Itou
    Everything that happened eight
    years ago is gonna happen again.
[07:11] Itou
    You have to realize it by now.
[07:14] Itou
    Pure idealism isn't enough
    to change the world.
[07:19] Kiichi
    But if I back down now...
    what happens to Saga?
[07:23] Kiichi
    It'll make everyone give up.
[07:25] Kiichi
    They'll think Saga really can't
    do anything and stop trying.
[07:29] Kiichi
    Thinking they can't change anything...
[07:31] Kiichi
    I can't let it end like that!
[07:35] Kiichi
    No matter where you were born
    or what your background is,
[07:38] Kiichi
    Saga should be a place where people
    can do what they want to!
[07:42] Kiichi
    Where you can reach for the future!
    And help each other!
[07:45] Kiichi
    That's the new Saga I want to bring back!
[07:48] Itou
    You need to wake up!
[07:50] Itou
    How long are you going to keep yelling
    about this stupid kid's dream?
[07:53] Itou
    This country is still immature...
    Twisted and barbaric.
[07:57] Itou
    It will crush you like you're nothing!
[08:01] Kiichi
    Quit trying to make it sound like it's over!
[08:03] Kiichi
    Saga hasn't even begun yet!
[08:57] Itou
    If this keeps up,
    Kiichi's going to be a fugitive.
[09:01] Itou
    He might not have meant to,
    but he helped spark a rebellion.
[09:05] Itou
    You should get out of Saga for a while.
[09:07] Itou
    I wasn't joking about what I said before.
[09:09] Itou
    I think together, the two of you could—
[09:11] Yugiri
    Itou-han...
[09:13] Yugiri
    Do Kiichi-han's ambitions really
    seem that shallow to you?
[09:22] Itou
    He's seriously such an idiot.
[09:24] Itou
    Awkward and bashful, but determined,
    in spite of being helpless...
[09:29] Itou
    That's why I...
[09:33] Itou
    Look after him for me.

    What you're after might be a naive,
    childish dream, Kiichi-han...
[14:23] Yugiri
    But the fact is that was what
    got things moving again in Saga.
[14:27] Yugiri
    You have a responsibility
    to see it through!
[14:30] Yugiri
    A lot of people who were inspired
    by your words have died.
[14:34] Yugiri
    As it stands, that will all be for nothing

[14:41] Yugiri
    You're going to get it back,
    aren't you? Create a new Saga?
[14:45] Yugiri
    Even when people mocked you,
    you had faith in that and pressed on.
[14:49] Yugiri
    Are you going to turn your back on
    all of that and act like it meant nothing?
[15:01] Yugiri
    Go through Mitsuse Pass,
    then take a boat from Hakata to Nagasaki.
[15:06] Yugiri
    The letter will tell you
    what to do from there.
[15:10] Yugiri
    I asked some old acquaintances
    of mine for help.
[15:14] Yugiri
    With their support, even the government
    won't be able to lay a hand on you.
[15:24] Yugiri
    This is all I can do for you.
[15:26] Yugiri
    What happens once you survive is up to you.
[15:30] Yugiri
    Please, show me what the new
    Saga you create looks like.
[15:47] Kiichi
    I swear, with everything I have...
[15:50] Kiichi
    I will create a new Saga!
[16:10] Itou
    Damn it, I didn't think a legendary
    courtesan would be this legendary.
[16:15] Itou
    Who the hell was the guy
    who set you free, anyway?
[16:20] Yugiri
    Have you ever heard the
    name "Sheathed Kichiemon"?
[16:25] Itou
    The Demon of Hibiya...!
[16:31] Itou
    I better take this seriously, then.
[17:14] Itou
    Sorry. I guess you're stuck
    with the short end of the stick.
[17:19] Yugiri
    Why...?
[17:22] Itou
    A place where everyone...
    can live freely, the way they want...
[18:07] Yugiri
    By the time you are reading this letter,
    I will likely no longer be alive.
[18:14] Yugiri
    A few of my old acquaintances have
    sworn to look after Kiichi-han.
[18:19] Yugiri
    But with blood having been spilled
    and signs of rebellion growing in Saga,
[18:25] Yugiri
    someone will have to accept
    responsibility and punishment for it.
[18:29] Yugiri
    I think that this entire
    incident, and my involvement,
[18:33] Yugiri
    will all be treated like it
    never happened in the end.
[18:36] Yugiri
    If Kiichi-han asks you,
    please tell him I left Saga safely.
[18:43] Yugiri
    And, if you truly are Saga itself...
[18:48] Yugiri
    then please guide the new Saga
    that Kiichi-han creates.
