**[00:06] Rebels**
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.
***SIGN*** October 17th, Meiji 15
***SIGN*** Kiichi Momozaki
**[01:25] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[01:27] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from
zero? That's just part of the saga.
**[01:30] ---**
Even if we burn out in the
process, we'll make it come true!
**[01:32] ---**
This is where our revenge begins!

**[02:59] Itou**
Damn it. How'd I get dragged into this?
**[03:02] Kiichi**
It's fine! He offered to
take our picture for free.
**[03:06] Yugiri**
Right.
***SIGN*** Nakayanagi Photography Studio
**[03:07] Yugiri**
If this sample picture of us is
enough to attract more customers,
**[03:11] Yugiri**
that makes this one part of saving Saga.
**[03:15] Yugiri**
Or would you prefer not having your
picture taken for some reason?
**[03:21] Kiichi**
D-Don't tell me...
**[03:24] Kiichi**
You think it's gonna steal
your soul or something?
**[03:26] Itou**
Hell no!
**[03:27] Kiichi**
It's fine, man! Don't worry!
That's just a superstition!
**[03:29] Itou**
I told you, that's not it!
**[03:31] Photographer**
Okay, if you could hold
still for a second, please.
**[03:36] Photographer**
Here we go.
**[03:38] Yugiri**
It'll make for a nice memory, if nothing else.
**[03:40] Kiichi**
Sure will!
**[03:44] Itou**
I know it's a bit early,
but how about some drinks?
**[03:47] Kiichi**
Sorry, I've actually got a...
**[03:49] Rebels**
Momozaki-dono!
**[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.
***SIGN*** To Takato Ooki-sama

Itou... why...?
**[12:10] Kiichi**
What are you doing? Why would you...?
**[12:13] Itou**
Well, Kiichi? Does this change things?
Still not gonna give up?
**[12:19] Itou**
My job is to keep an eye
on rebels lurking in Saga.
**[12:23] Itou**
It would've been fine if you had
kept to your childish campaign.
**[12:26] Itou**
But once it crossed a certain line...
**[12:29] Kiichi**
I-Itou...
**[12:32] Itou**
This is all I have.
**[12:37] Itou**
This country's still twisted and barbaric.
**[12:40] Itou**
Full of people like me, who don't know how
else to live and don't have any other options.
**[12:46] Itou**
Answer me, Kiichi!
**[12:51] Kiichi**
Stop, Itou!
**[13:19] Yugiri**
Kiichi-han!
**[13:31] Yugiri**
People will be on our trail.
You should leave Saga for now.
**[13:38] Kiichi**
Why'd it end up like this...?
**[13:41] Kiichi**
I never really understood
what was going on...
**[13:46] Kiichi**
But Itou... and my comrades...
**[13:50] Kiichi**
Because of me! All of it!
**[13:52] Kiichi**
I stirred all this up! Let them all die!
**[13:55] Kiichi**
How am I... How am I supposed
to make a new Saga?!
**[14:04] Kiichi**
Please, just go.
**[14:06] Kiichi**
They're only after me...
**[14:09] Kiichi**
and I don't care anymore.
**[14:11] Kiichi**
I don't want you to—
**[14:15] Yugiri**
I don't want to hear any whining!
**[14:17] Yugiri**
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
**[14:37] Yugiri**
if you don't make your dream a reality!
**[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.*
**[19:03] Yugiri**
This is goodbye.

What're you called again? The Saga—
**[22:44] Yugiri**
It's Franchouchou.
**[22:46] Xu Fu**
Right, that.
**[22:48] Xu Fu**
I guess all that fussing he did
amounted to something after all.
**[22:54] Yugiri**
It really did.
**[22:56] Yugiri**
And I'm truly grateful for that.
**[23:02] Yugiri**
It's my turn this time.
**[23:05] Yugiri**
I'm going to choose a path for myself,
in this new Saga...
**[23:08] Yugiri**
and walk down it.

I'm lucky enough to have comrades
with the same goal, after all.
