1
00:00:01,501 --> 00:00:04,504
So this is the Miburo's headquarters?

2
00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:07,549
Yagi-san is putting us up in his compound.

3
00:00:07,549 --> 00:00:10,468
You'll eat and sleep here, too.

4
00:00:11,469 --> 00:00:15,515
Come to think of it, I heard the
local kids talking about this place.

5
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:17,559
Huh? What did they say about it?

6
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:21,521
"Demons live there."

7
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:25,483
Meaning us.

8
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:30,530
Honestly, Hijikata-san.
Don't scare him like that.

9
00:00:31,489 --> 00:00:33,533
So, um, where is everyone?

10
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,577
I think Yagi-san's at a meeting.

11
00:00:35,577 --> 00:00:37,495
Wait in the yard.

12
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,499
Granny. Iroha.

13
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:46,504
I think this place might be bad news.

14
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:05,565
Blue Miburo

15
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,481
What's that smell?
I can't quite tell what it is.

16
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:36,572
A-Are you hurt?

17
00:02:36,572 --> 00:02:37,573
Not good enough!

18
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:40,493
You'll have to do better, Sanosuke!

19
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:44,497
Parlor tricks won't work
on Nagakura Shinpachi!

20
00:02:44,539 --> 00:02:46,499
Wanna bet, jackass?

21
00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:48,543
Hm? Who's the kid?

22
00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:49,544
Huh?

23
00:02:51,462 --> 00:02:54,507
Hey! Who're you?
You can't just wander in here!

24
00:02:54,507 --> 00:02:55,550
Oh, um, I'm...

25
00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:57,510
He's a new recruit.

26
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:00,471
He's one of us.

27
00:03:01,472 --> 00:03:02,515
A new recruit?

28
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:05,476
Are you screwing with us, Hijikata?

29
00:03:05,476 --> 00:03:09,480
This ain't no game! I won't stand for it!

30
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,524
You're the one messing around, Sanosuke.

31
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:15,528
Go wash your face and cool your head, idiot.

32
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:20,491
Soji, I've had it with
these pranks of yours.

33
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:25,496
Are you sure you want to do this?
It doesn't pay to take me lightly, Nagakura-san.

34
00:03:25,496 --> 00:03:27,582
You're the one getting cocky here!

35
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:31,502
O-Oh no. This is turning into a brawl.

36
00:03:31,502 --> 00:03:33,504
Fine! We'll sumo wrestle to settle it!

37
00:03:34,505 --> 00:03:35,506
Fine by me.

38
00:03:35,506 --> 00:03:36,549
Show me what you're made of!

39
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:38,509
Make it a best-of-three!

40
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:40,470
Now you're talking!

41
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:44,515
Huh? Sumo wrestle? Wh-Why that?

42
00:03:45,558 --> 00:03:48,561
Sorry. You see how it is.

43
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:50,521
I'll referee, then.

44
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:52,523
We're taking Hajime!

45
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:54,525
Huh? Why me?

46
00:03:54,525 --> 00:03:56,486
We need a kid to fight a kid.

47
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:58,488
Don't treat me like a kid!

48
00:03:58,488 --> 00:04:01,491
See what I mean? What a child.

49
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:04,285
Chirinu Nio accepts your challenge!

50
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:07,288
Now that's what I call maturity.

51
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:10,333
I-I'll take you on!

52
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:12,335
Loser has to run laps. Got that?

53
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:15,296
You'd better not lose, Nio!

54
00:04:17,256 --> 00:04:19,926
All right. If you lose, I'll run with you.

55
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:21,302
Whoa!

56
00:04:21,302 --> 00:04:23,304
That boy's tougher than he looks!

57
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:24,347
Grab his belt, Nio!

58
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:26,307
Trip him, Hajime!

59
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:29,227
Who won?

60
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:34,190
A tie! It's a tie!

61
00:04:34,273 --> 00:04:35,233
Damn it.

62
00:04:36,192 --> 00:04:37,193
One more round.

63
00:04:41,197 --> 00:04:42,240
Huh? What?

64
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,247
How could you wrestle without me?

65
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:53,251
Whoa! Here he comes!

66
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:54,252
Somebody stop him!

67
00:04:54,252 --> 00:04:56,212
He'll throw us all!

68
00:04:57,213 --> 00:04:58,214
I'll take you on!

69
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:01,175
Alas!

70
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:04,220
Hey, a******! Don't underestimate me!

71
00:05:05,513 --> 00:05:06,472
It's hopeless.

72
00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:08,432
H-He's too strong.

73
00:05:09,892 --> 00:05:14,855
I, Serizawa Kamo, shall be your opponent.

74
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:22,697
He has ten arms?!

75
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:26,826
They got another one! At Sanjo Bridge!

76
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:32,748
Sanjo Bridge? Do they mean...
Hurry!
Get ready!

77
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:34,750
Nio.

78
00:05:35,793 --> 00:05:36,794
Will you join us?

79
00:05:37,753 --> 00:05:41,799
I shouldn't have to warn you,
but it won't be pretty.

80
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:44,802
I know.

81
00:05:46,762 --> 00:05:47,847
Everyone who lives in Kyoto does.

82
00:05:53,769 --> 00:05:55,813
Vindication

83
00:05:56,814 --> 00:05:58,774
Another severed head?

84
00:05:58,774 --> 00:06:00,776
Who is it this time?

85
00:06:00,776 --> 00:06:01,819
What's the notice say?

86
00:06:01,819 --> 00:06:03,779
A sinful priest, apparently.

87
00:06:04,739 --> 00:06:07,825
Another one. It's been nonstop for a year now.

88
00:06:08,784 --> 00:06:10,786
Says here he was a schemer.

89
00:06:10,786 --> 00:06:12,747
Well, that's that, then.

90
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:14,832
He got his just deserts.

91
00:06:15,791 --> 00:06:17,793
Must've done something awful.

92
00:06:17,793 --> 00:06:19,795
What's the world coming to?

93
00:06:23,799 --> 00:06:25,801
I don't know much about these things,

94
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:30,765
but is it always bad people who get killed
and good people who do the killing?

95
00:06:31,807 --> 00:06:36,771
Do people who are trying to make the
world better really do things like this?

96
00:06:40,816 --> 00:06:43,778
Extremists have been
frequenting a particular inn.

97
00:06:44,820 --> 00:06:45,821
We raid it tonight.

98
00:06:46,781 --> 00:06:49,784
See for yourself when we do.

99
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:53,788
He's right.

100
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:55,831
I need to see with my own eyes.

101
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,793
That's why I came here.

102
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:10,763
Are you really sure, Nio?

103
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:13,766
Y-Yes, sir. I want to know.

104
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:17,770
I want to find out
what's happening in Kyoto.

105
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:21,774
All right. Stay behind us.

106
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:23,776
Let's move.

107
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:28,781
We're on patrol! No one move!

108
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:36,789
That's weird. What kind of inn has no lamps?

109
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:48,801
Die!

110
00:07:56,767 --> 00:07:57,768
He killed him.

111
00:07:57,768 --> 00:07:58,811
He actually killed him!

112
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:03,816
Okita-san.

113
00:08:08,737 --> 00:08:10,739
Th-This wasn't the deal!

114
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:11,824
What deal?

115
00:08:12,741 --> 00:08:16,787
W-We just had to off this one bad guy.
Easy money, they said.

116
00:08:16,787 --> 00:08:18,831
We were supposed to get
our fill of w*** and women.

117
00:08:22,751 --> 00:08:24,837
It's refreshing to see
such a shameless scumbag.

118
00:08:25,754 --> 00:08:26,797
W-Wait!

119
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,801
I just tossed the dead guy's ear
into the house they told me to!

120
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,762
I just learned something new.

121
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:39,768
So, without righteousness or conviction,
people can end up like you, huh?

122
00:08:53,782 --> 00:08:55,784
Ahem, Hijikata-san.

123
00:08:56,785 --> 00:08:58,829
Think about where the blood's spattering.

124
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:00,748
Be quiet.

125
00:09:04,752 --> 00:09:06,837
We'd better hurry home
so you can have a bath.

126
00:09:36,825 --> 00:09:37,826
Can't sleep?

127
00:09:39,828 --> 00:09:42,790
Did you want them to live,
however vile they were?

128
00:09:42,831 --> 00:09:45,793
Huh? Oh, no.

129
00:09:46,794 --> 00:09:50,756
Anyone who kills for money needs to pay.

130
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:52,841
So what's bothering you?

131
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:56,804
Nothing's bothering me, exactly.
I was just thinking.

132
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,764
Oh? What about?

133
00:09:58,847 --> 00:10:01,809
What if someone
I'm supposed to kill is like me?

134
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:04,770
What if they also want to
make the world a better place?

135
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:08,774
What should I do then?

136
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:17,783
Hijikata-san, I always thought there
were bad people who steal and kill,

137
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:20,744
and good people who try to stop them,

138
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:23,789
and that was why Kyoto is such a mess.

139
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:31,839
But it's not really good versus evil, is it?

140
00:10:32,756 --> 00:10:36,802
Good people are fighting
each other until it rains blood.

141
00:10:40,764 --> 00:10:42,766
No one's evil to start with.

142
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:48,814
At least, almost no one thinks
that they could be the bad guy.

143
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,776
What should I do?

144
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:53,819
Huh?

145
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:57,739
How can I learn to act
like you and Okita-san?

146
00:10:59,783 --> 00:11:01,785
That's simple, Nio.

147
00:11:02,786 --> 00:11:05,747
Have principles you'll never compromise on.

148
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:11,795
If nothing and no one can
take them from you...

149
00:11:13,755 --> 00:11:15,757
that's your idea of justice.

150
00:11:16,758 --> 00:11:18,844
As long as you have that,
you can cut down anyone you need to.

151
00:11:23,765 --> 00:11:26,768
Damn, I'm sleepy. Time for some shut-eye.

152
00:11:32,816 --> 00:11:34,818
I see. I get it now.

153
00:11:35,777 --> 00:11:38,739
The faint smell that clings to this house...

154
00:11:40,741 --> 00:11:41,742
is blood.

155
00:11:41,825 --> 00:11:43,744
It smells like blood.

156
00:11:45,787 --> 00:11:47,789
I don't know anything yet.

157
00:11:48,749 --> 00:11:52,794
I need to see and think about many more things
so that I can make up my own mind.

158
00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:56,798
What is justice?

159
00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,802
What's right? What can't I give up?

160
00:12:02,804 --> 00:12:04,806
For as long as I live, I'll keep on wondering...

161
00:12:05,807 --> 00:12:09,770
until I find what I think is right.

162
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:17,819
Something on your mind, Nio-kun?

163
00:12:18,737 --> 00:12:22,824
Oh, Okita-san. Yeah, I guess.
I was wondering what justice is.

164
00:12:23,742 --> 00:12:24,826
Oh, justice, huh?

165
00:12:25,786 --> 00:12:26,787
Do you know?

166
00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:29,790
You have to figure it out for yourself.

167
00:12:31,792 --> 00:12:33,752
R-Right.

168
00:12:34,753 --> 00:12:36,838
It's not something someone can teach you.

169
00:12:36,838 --> 00:12:41,760
Oh, that reminds me. I haven't paid
my respects to the Yagi family.

170
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,806
Gennojo-san just stepped out.
You'll run into him sooner or later.

171
00:12:45,806 --> 00:12:49,768
You really don't stand on
ceremony, do you, Okita-san?

172
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:53,772
That's my justice.

173
00:12:53,814 --> 00:12:55,732
Good one, right?

174
00:12:55,774 --> 00:12:57,776
Nio! Get over here now!

175
00:12:57,776 --> 00:13:01,780
Oh, that reminds me.
Hijikata-san wants to see you.

176
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:02,823
What?

177
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:05,784
O-On my way, sir!

178
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:09,746
The three of us are going on patrol.

179
00:13:09,830 --> 00:13:12,749
Patrol, sir? You can count on me.

180
00:13:13,834 --> 00:13:15,794
Wait, the three of us?

181
00:13:17,838 --> 00:13:19,756
Kondo-san.

182
00:13:19,798 --> 00:13:22,801
I-I don't think we've been
properly introduced. I'm Nio.

183
00:13:22,801 --> 00:13:24,761
It's a pleasure to serve with you.

184
00:13:24,803 --> 00:13:27,764
Indeed. Kondo Isami is my name.

185
00:13:28,765 --> 00:13:29,766
The pleasure's mine.

186
00:13:29,808 --> 00:13:30,809
Th-Thank you, sir.

187
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:47,742
Give me a break. You won't last
an hour like that. Try to relax.

188
00:13:47,784 --> 00:13:49,744
Uh, yes, sir.

189
00:13:49,786 --> 00:13:53,790
I thought Kyoto would be
full of simpering bluebloods,

190
00:13:54,749 --> 00:13:58,753
but I see plenty of samurai
wearing proper sets of swords, too.

191
00:13:58,795 --> 00:14:04,759
The lord of Aizu led a thousand troops
to the city in the twelfth month last year.

192
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:07,762
It seems like there have been
lots more samurai ever since.

193
00:14:07,762 --> 00:14:10,807
Oh? In that case, Kyoto is
as fine a place as they say.

194
00:14:10,849 --> 00:14:13,768
I'm glad I came here, Toshi.

195
00:14:14,811 --> 00:14:16,771
It's good having you here, Nio.

196
00:14:16,855 --> 00:14:20,817
Three of you locals have joined up now.
We can use your expertise.

197
00:14:21,818 --> 00:14:23,820
Oh, no, I don't know anything that...

198
00:14:24,779 --> 00:14:26,823
Wait, that reminds me.
Who are the other two?

199
00:14:30,785 --> 00:14:31,745
Follow him.

200
00:14:31,828 --> 00:14:32,787
Yes, sir!

201
00:14:36,833 --> 00:14:39,753
H-He's so fast. Well, he is an adult, I suppose.

202
00:14:40,837 --> 00:14:41,838
Why's he so slow?

203
00:14:41,838 --> 00:14:43,840
Forget about me! Don't let him get away!

204
00:14:44,758 --> 00:14:45,759
Y-Yes, sir.

205
00:14:50,805 --> 00:14:51,848
He must have run down there.

206
00:14:51,848 --> 00:14:53,850
This area is full of narrow alleys.

207
00:14:55,810 --> 00:14:57,771
We'd better split up.

208
00:14:57,854 --> 00:14:59,773
I'll go left.

209
00:14:59,814 --> 00:15:01,816
Kondo-san, you go straight ahead.

210
00:15:01,816 --> 00:15:02,817
Nio, take the right.

211
00:15:03,735 --> 00:15:04,819
Shout your head off if you find him.

212
00:15:04,819 --> 00:15:05,779
Yes, sir.

213
00:15:08,782 --> 00:15:12,786
I don't know what that guy did,
but cornered people can turn dangerous.

214
00:15:16,831 --> 00:15:17,832
A kid?

215
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:20,794
But she's outside of our search area.

216
00:15:29,761 --> 00:15:30,762
Are you okay?

217
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:41,815
You don't have to say anything.

218
00:15:44,818 --> 00:15:45,819
Here. For you.

219
00:15:48,738 --> 00:15:52,742
You must really care about these sandals.
Did your big sister give them to you?

220
00:15:52,742 --> 00:15:53,827
Yeah. Thanks.

221
00:15:53,827 --> 00:15:56,788
You're welcome. Can you get home on your own?

222
00:15:58,748 --> 00:15:59,791
Murderer!

223
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:01,835
He ran for it!

224
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:11,803
Nio!

225
00:16:11,803 --> 00:16:13,847
Out of my way!

226
00:16:24,774 --> 00:16:25,775
It'll be all right.

227
00:16:27,819 --> 00:16:31,823
Curse that man. No real samurai
would turn and run like that.

228
00:16:32,782 --> 00:16:35,827
But he won't get far.
Toshi can run like the devil.

229
00:16:43,751 --> 00:16:45,795
Does no one in Kyoto know how to fight?

230
00:17:04,814 --> 00:17:06,774
I'm sorry, sir.

231
00:17:06,816 --> 00:17:09,736
Huh? What for?

232
00:17:09,736 --> 00:17:11,738
I ignored orders.

233
00:17:11,821 --> 00:17:13,823
And then I ran away.

234
00:17:13,823 --> 00:17:16,784
Oh, right. You shielded that girl.

235
00:17:17,744 --> 00:17:20,788
I saw a child crying.
I couldn't just leave her.

236
00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:24,751
I was so frantic to protect her.

237
00:17:26,836 --> 00:17:30,798
I heard that both my parents were murdered.

238
00:17:31,841 --> 00:17:33,801
You "heard"?

239
00:17:33,843 --> 00:17:38,765
Oh, a temple took me in when
I was still too young to remember.

240
00:17:38,806 --> 00:17:41,809
I think they had about ten kids like me.

241
00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:46,814
We were taught to hold back
our tears and smiles.

242
00:17:47,815 --> 00:17:48,816
Why?

243
00:17:49,734 --> 00:17:51,736
Because they wouldn't get adopted otherwise.

244
00:17:51,736 --> 00:17:54,739
Yes, sir. I think they were right about that.

245
00:17:54,822 --> 00:17:58,743
Thanks to that advice,
I got to live with Granny and my sister.

246
00:17:59,827 --> 00:18:03,790
But I think, deep down, I wanted to cry.

247
00:18:04,832 --> 00:18:08,836
I wanted someone to hold me tight
while I cried my eyes out.

248
00:18:12,757 --> 00:18:17,845
I left home spouting a lot of big talk
about wanting to make the world better.

249
00:18:19,764 --> 00:18:21,766
But in truth...

250
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:26,813
I just want a world
where kids feel safe to cry.

251
00:18:28,773 --> 00:18:31,818
And I'd like to be there
for them when they do.

252
00:18:32,819 --> 00:18:34,779
I want a world where that can happen.

253
00:18:39,742 --> 00:18:43,830
I'm sorry. I didn't help at all. I'm a disgrace.

254
00:18:46,833 --> 00:18:47,834
Full marks.

255
00:18:47,834 --> 00:18:48,793
Huh?

256
00:18:49,794 --> 00:18:52,755
You helped that girl.
I couldn't have asked for more.

257
00:18:52,797 --> 00:18:54,799
R-Really, sir?

258
00:18:55,842 --> 00:18:56,801
Yes.

259
00:18:58,761 --> 00:18:59,846
That was the right thing to do?

260
00:19:01,806 --> 00:19:02,765
It was.

261
00:19:06,811 --> 00:19:08,813
I'll never forget...

262
00:19:10,815 --> 00:19:13,818
Looks like you do know
what justice means to you.

263
00:19:14,819 --> 00:19:20,741
...what Hijikata-san said to me,
or how big Kondo-san seemed in that moment.

264
00:19:22,785 --> 00:19:24,745
Welcome to the Miburo.

265
00:19:31,794 --> 00:19:36,799
But back then, I had no way of knowing...

266
00:19:41,804 --> 00:19:44,724
Y-You played me...

267
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:51,814
Serizawa.

268
00:19:54,817 --> 00:19:58,738
...that the Miburo's first purge had begun.

269
00:20:01,824 --> 00:20:06,829
A World
Where

270
00:21:35,001 --> 00:21:41,757
Next time
I'm Chirinu Nio, and my life with
the Miburo has only just begun.

271
00:21:41,757 --> 00:21:43,342
I do get lonely living away
from Granny and Iroha,

272
00:21:43,342 --> 00:21:45,428
but everyone here is fun
to be around, so I can handle it.

273
00:21:46,387 --> 00:21:50,307
Something's been bothering me, though.

274
00:21:50,391 --> 00:21:54,353
It's about another boy my age
named Tanaka Taro-kun.

275
00:21:55,396 --> 00:21:57,398
Next time: "Where the Soul Dwells."

276
00:21:57,398 --> 00:21:59,316
It won't disappoint!

277
00:21:59,316 --> 00:22:01,402
Where
the
