1
00:00:01,501 --> 00:00:03,503
Bring him here! Call a doctor!

2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:06,548
Don't bother. He's breathed his last.

3
00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:14,556
That makes four.

4
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:20,478
Kushibe was one of Aizu's finest,
and they still got him.

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,523
What now? We can't keep
ignoring this, Hirosawa.

6
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:25,525
Isn't there something we can do?

7
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:26,526
I know a way.

8
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:27,527
What?

9
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:32,490
We'll pit outlaw against outlaw. Bring me...

10
00:00:33,491 --> 00:00:34,534
the Miburo.

11
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:55,555
Blue Miburo

12
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:17,512
Nio sure is dedicated.

13
00:02:21,516 --> 00:02:24,477
Hey, Isami-san! What're you up to?

14
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,481
Filling my lungs with Kyoto air.

15
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:30,525
What for, sir?

16
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:33,486
His Imperial Majesty resides in Kyoto.

17
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:35,571
And now, the shogun,
Lord Iemochi, is also here.

18
00:02:36,531 --> 00:02:39,534
I feel the air will enhance my samurai aura.

19
00:02:40,576 --> 00:02:43,538
Samurai
Aura
What's a samurai aura?

20
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:46,541
I like the way you think.

21
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:53,548
Serizawa-sensei has an important
announcement to make.

22
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:54,549
Serizawa-san does?

23
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:58,553
Again? Do you think something went wrong?

24
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:00,513
I wonder.

25
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:05,518
Oh, there he is.

26
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:13,526
He's in a good mood?!

27
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:17,530
E-Excuse me, sir.
Did something good happen?

28
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:20,533
Something good? As if you don't know.

29
00:03:22,493 --> 00:03:26,456
As I'm sure Sir Kondo has already told you,

30
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:32,462
The Aizu Domain has extended a
formal offer to enlist the Mibu Roshigumi.

31
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:35,548
Now, it's time we all paid
the lord of Aizu our respects.

32
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,551
Yes. That was the plan.

33
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:40,470
First I'm hearing of it!

34
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:41,512
You didn't tell us anything!

35
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:43,514
You always do this!

36
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,559
Aizu? That is good news.

37
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:49,520
But I wonder what the townsfolk will think.

38
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,566
Um, I'm pretty sure
Aizu is well-liked in Kyoto.

39
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:54,525
Huh?

40
00:03:54,525 --> 00:03:55,485
You mean it?

41
00:03:55,526 --> 00:04:00,490
Everyone celebrated when an
Aizu party came last year.

42
00:04:00,531 --> 00:04:03,534
Granny, my sister, and I went out
to the bridge to see them.

43
00:04:03,534 --> 00:04:05,536
Oh! It's good to have a local!

44
00:04:05,536 --> 00:04:06,537
You sure come in handy!

45
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:11,542
And Serizawa-sensei made this all possible!

46
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:13,503
There you have it.

47
00:04:18,549 --> 00:04:21,511
Excuse me, but please wait a moment.

48
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:24,514
Sir Yamanami? What's wrong?

49
00:04:24,555 --> 00:04:26,557
I'd like to be clear. Do you mind?

50
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:28,518
Ask away.

51
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:32,563
Kyoto is still caught in a storm
of sonno joi sentiment.

52
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:34,565
We all know that.

53
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:38,486
Excuse me, Yamanami-san.

54
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,530
What is "sonno joi"?

55
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:45,493
You mean you don't even know that?

56
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:49,455
I hear the words often,
but I don't really understand them.

57
00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:51,499
It's a good question.

58
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:55,503
"Sonno" is reverence of
the Emperor here in Kyoto.

59
00:04:55,503 --> 00:05:00,466
"Joi" expresses the sentiment that we should
expel foreigners who disturb our country.

60
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:01,551
I see.

61
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:06,556
So "sonno joi" basically means "respect
His Imperial Majesty and keep foreigners out."

62
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:13,479
But wait, doesn't that mean
most people want sonno joi?

63
00:05:14,522 --> 00:05:15,564
What are you talking about?

64
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:17,525
Well spotted.

65
00:05:17,525 --> 00:05:19,568
Yes. That's exactly the problem.

66
00:05:19,568 --> 00:05:20,528
Huh?

67
00:05:20,569 --> 00:05:31,539
You see, sonno joi comes in many forms.
Sonno joi
For example, Aizu is pro-shogunate.
They revere the Emperor and want to expel
barbarians while siding with the Shogun.

68
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:34,542
We came here for the same reason.

69
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:40,548
Sonno joi
The Choshu, meanwhile, advocates sonno joi
while staying anti-shogunate to the core.

70
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:44,510
Their view has the strongest
influence in Kyoto now.

71
00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:47,555
Anti-shogunate? So some people
don't want the Shogun in charge,

72
00:05:47,555 --> 00:05:50,516
and that's their idea of justice?

73
00:05:50,558 --> 00:05:53,477
I wish we could all just get along.

74
00:05:53,477 --> 00:05:55,521
Yes, so do I.

75
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:59,483
But their beliefs aren't the issue.

76
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:05,531
The problem is that some will do anything,
even kill, to bend the world to their vision.

77
00:06:08,492 --> 00:06:11,495
The townspeople are honestly sick of them.

78
00:06:12,496 --> 00:06:16,500
We have to bar our doors and windows
in fear, even on hot summer nights.

79
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:21,505
We just want to walk
where we like and be happy.

80
00:06:22,506 --> 00:06:23,507
So why?

81
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:26,510
Why does only our city
have to suffer like this?

82
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:29,555
The current emperor dislikes foreigners.

83
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,475
People want to take advantage of that.

84
00:06:32,516 --> 00:06:35,478
Huh? That's the whole reason?

85
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:40,483
Lord Tokugawa Iemochi has already
ensconced himself in Kyoto's Nijo Castle.

86
00:06:40,524 --> 00:06:45,488
Rumor has it the extremists plotting
his death number 500 or more.

87
00:06:45,529 --> 00:06:47,490
W-Wait, 500?

88
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:49,533
Yeah? So what?

89
00:06:50,534 --> 00:06:54,538
So my question is:
are you prepared to risk your lives?

90
00:06:54,538 --> 00:06:59,502
We're ronin! Easy to use and abuse!
Aizu sees us as no more than sacrificial pawns!

91
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:01,545
And we won't like every job they give us!

92
00:07:01,545 --> 00:07:04,465
Of course we'll get their dirty work!

93
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:07,510
Can you still put your lives
on the line? Well?!

94
00:07:07,551 --> 00:07:09,553
H-Has he got a split personality?

95
00:07:10,554 --> 00:07:14,517
Am I ready to die? Really ready?

96
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:18,479
Can I say for sure that I won't
lose my nerve in the face of death?

97
00:07:24,485 --> 00:07:25,486
I can!

98
00:07:25,569 --> 00:07:27,488
Kondo-san!

99
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:31,492
Sounds like fun. I say we all join in.

100
00:07:31,492 --> 00:07:32,493
Okita-san!

101
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,539
You waited till now to ask?

102
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:38,582
Yes. There's only one road ahead.

103
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:40,501
We're with you.

104
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:41,544
Damn right we are.

105
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:46,465
Anyone who can't say that wouldn't be here.

106
00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:50,511
Men, follow me.

107
00:07:54,515 --> 00:07:56,475
So much for trying to rattle them.

108
00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:59,520
No. This is what I've been waiting for.

109
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:03,524
I knew these guys were cool!

110
00:08:04,483 --> 00:08:05,526
I'm with you, too!

111
00:08:06,485 --> 00:08:10,531
Huh? Then, um, so am I, if you'll have me.

112
00:08:11,490 --> 00:08:17,496
We, the Mibu Roshigumi,
share one purpose: to defend Kyoto!

113
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:20,583
March.

114
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:25,504
All right! Let's go!

115
00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:35,514
It itches. Why's it so scratchy?

116
00:08:35,514 --> 00:08:38,517
Come on, Hijikata-san.
We need you to walk tall like Kondo-san.

117
00:08:38,517 --> 00:08:40,477
Quiet, Soji.

118
00:08:40,561 --> 00:08:42,521
Think we'll get some choice grub?

119
00:08:46,483 --> 00:08:51,488
Everyone's excited to meet a big shot
like the lord of Aizu, huh, Hajime-kun?

120
00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:53,490
Huh?

121
00:08:54,491 --> 00:08:58,495
It doesn't matter who we serve
as long as we live like samurai.

122
00:08:58,537 --> 00:08:59,538
Am I wrong?

123
00:09:02,541 --> 00:09:05,544
Commissioner of Kyoto
Lord Matsudaira Higo-no-Kami of Aizu

124
00:09:08,547 --> 00:09:12,551
So this is Aizu's headquarters
in Kyoto? That's some mansion.

125
00:09:15,512 --> 00:09:16,555
Enjoy yourselves, sirs.

126
00:09:17,514 --> 00:09:19,516
Aren't you coming in, Taro?

127
00:09:19,558 --> 00:09:21,560
Dressed like this? How could I?

128
00:09:22,478 --> 00:09:26,482
Forget him. We don't want him
pissing anyone off, anyway.

129
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:27,483
Hm...

130
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:31,487
Then I won't go, either.
Let's wait out here together.

131
00:09:33,489 --> 00:09:34,531
Well, you are a kid.

132
00:09:34,573 --> 00:09:36,492
He is a kid.

133
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:37,493
He sure is.

134
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:38,494
Huh?

135
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:42,498
Wow. What pretty stones.

136
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:44,500
Are you nuts? Don't play with them.

137
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:48,504
Just look at them. I wish I could
show these to Granny and Iroha.

138
00:09:48,504 --> 00:09:49,546
Don't you dare take them!

139
00:09:50,506 --> 00:09:52,508
Why do I have to stay out here, too?!

140
00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:55,552
Huh? What are kids doing here?

141
00:09:57,554 --> 00:10:00,516
This compound belongs
to Matsudaira Katamori.

142
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:02,518
You can't just wander in uninvited.

143
00:10:05,562 --> 00:10:07,481
Look at his hair.

144
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:08,524
It's the Golden Pavilion!

145
00:10:08,524 --> 00:10:11,527
Oh, this? My ma came from foreign parts.

146
00:10:12,486 --> 00:10:14,530
I hear my pa got an Englishwoman with child.

147
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:17,533
She went back to her own country, though.

148
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:19,535
You must be lonely.

149
00:10:20,494 --> 00:10:21,578
Don't you want to go visit your mother?

150
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:24,456
Not even a little.

151
00:10:24,456 --> 00:10:26,500
My family are big-name fabric dealers.

152
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:30,462
Every day is bustling,
and everyone's nice to me.

153
00:10:30,504 --> 00:10:33,507
And above all, I like this city.

154
00:10:33,549 --> 00:10:36,468
I've got everything I could want.

155
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:41,473
I've come to pay my respects because
we received an order for a new kimono.

156
00:10:41,473 --> 00:10:46,520
Bah! This rich kid hasn't suffered a day
in his life. Who asked for his life story?

157
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,564
We're here at the
invitation of the Aizu Domain.

158
00:10:49,481 --> 00:10:52,484
We're the Miburo...
members of the Mibu Roshigumi.

159
00:10:52,484 --> 00:10:55,487
Oh, the Miburo? I've heard of you.

160
00:10:55,529 --> 00:11:00,492
A bunch of rowdy ronin from Edo
that nobody here can stand, right?

161
00:11:01,493 --> 00:11:04,496
No, that's a bit of a misunderstanding.

162
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:08,500
We're really working
to make Kyoto a safer place.

163
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:11,545
Really? I had no idea.

164
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:17,509
Still, if they've called in tough samurai,
it must be because of you-know-what.

165
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:18,510
What do you mean?

166
00:11:19,511 --> 00:11:22,472
Oh, never mind. Forget I said anything.

167
00:11:22,472 --> 00:11:26,476
Anyway, it takes a special kind of person
to come guard somebody else's city.

168
00:11:26,476 --> 00:11:28,478
Young master, we should be going.

169
00:11:28,478 --> 00:11:30,522
Oh, you're right. We'd better head back.

170
00:11:31,481 --> 00:11:35,485
My family runs Tsuruya on Nijo-dori.
We get all sorts there.

171
00:11:35,485 --> 00:11:36,570
Huh? Oh, okay.

172
00:11:38,530 --> 00:11:42,576
My name's Seto. Come see me if you're
ever in the market for information.

173
00:11:44,536 --> 00:11:48,498
My name's Nio. See you, Seto-kun.

174
00:11:53,503 --> 00:11:55,505
He was pretty friendly, don't you think?

175
00:11:55,505 --> 00:11:56,465
In what universe?

176
00:11:57,507 --> 00:12:00,510
He had a faint scent blood on him.

177
00:12:07,517 --> 00:12:08,560
Raise your heads.

178
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,525
I am Matsudaira Katamori,
Commissioner of Kyoto and Lord of Aizu.

179
00:12:16,526 --> 00:12:18,570
By order of the Emperor and the Shogun,

180
00:12:18,570 --> 00:12:23,533
I have come from my domain
to keep the peace here in our capital.

181
00:12:23,575 --> 00:12:24,576
Sir.

182
00:12:24,576 --> 00:12:29,539
You did well to travel here
from Edo to defend the Shogun.

183
00:12:29,539 --> 00:12:30,499
Sir.

184
00:12:30,499 --> 00:12:31,500
We...

185
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:35,545
We came from Edo with 234 brave men.

186
00:12:36,463 --> 00:12:41,510
Yet Kiyokawa Hachiro, who proposed the plan,
contrived to turn most back to Edo.

187
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:43,512
Only 15 of us remained.

188
00:12:43,553 --> 00:12:47,474
The storm of sonno joi has raged
since the coming of the Black Ships.

189
00:12:47,474 --> 00:12:49,518
A foreigner was cut down
at Namamugi last year,

190
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:53,480
and here in Kyoto, assassins kill
in the name of "heaven's justice."

191
00:12:53,522 --> 00:12:58,527
We wish only to defend
Kyoto as you do, my lord.

192
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:01,571
Yet we came with nothing
but our conviction.

193
00:13:02,489 --> 00:13:06,535
To our shame, with no stipends of our own,
we now presume on the Yagis' kindness.

194
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:13,500
We hope to offer our utmost
not in passing, but in perpetuity.
He wrote the whole speech on his hands.

195
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:18,547
Thus, we have come to beg
Your Lordship for support.

196
00:13:22,467 --> 00:13:27,514
If I had my way, I'd go home
to a peaceful life in Aizu this instant!

197
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,480
This is a temple, a place for Buddhas.

198
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,525
I'll tell no lies here,
so be frank with me as well.

199
00:13:40,527 --> 00:13:44,531
I want to become a samurai in body and soul!

200
00:13:49,494 --> 00:13:51,496
I want to fight strong guys!

201
00:13:51,496 --> 00:13:53,582
I want to laze around all day!

202
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,501
I wish to master the blade!

203
00:13:56,501 --> 00:13:58,545
I want women to throw themselves at me!

204
00:13:58,545 --> 00:14:00,505
I want to get ahead!

205
00:14:00,505 --> 00:14:02,549
I want to eat the finest food!

206
00:14:02,549 --> 00:14:06,511
I want to debate as many people as I can!

207
00:14:08,471 --> 00:14:10,473
What delightful fellows!

208
00:14:10,473 --> 00:14:11,474
My lord.

209
00:14:13,476 --> 00:14:14,519
Hm? You there.

210
00:14:16,479 --> 00:14:18,481
Tell me what you really want.

211
00:14:19,482 --> 00:14:21,526
I have nothing to hide.

212
00:14:22,485 --> 00:14:25,488
Kondo's speech summed up my thoughts.

213
00:14:26,489 --> 00:14:30,493
I want to sweep the trash
from this city, nothing more.

214
00:14:34,497 --> 00:14:35,498
What a man!

215
00:14:35,498 --> 00:14:36,541
That's our Hijikata-san.

216
00:14:36,541 --> 00:14:38,460
Hey! Quit it!

217
00:14:39,502 --> 00:14:41,546
Very good. I like you.

218
00:14:43,506 --> 00:14:44,507
What a funny lord.

219
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:51,514
Gentlemen of the Roshigumi,
I have something I'd like you to see.

220
00:14:51,514 --> 00:14:52,557
Follow me.

221
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,481
Who's this?

222
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:02,525
The fourth Aizu man cut down on the street.

223
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:10,492
Every victim had his eyes
ripped out, as you see here.

224
00:15:10,533 --> 00:15:12,452
Why would anyone do that?

225
00:15:12,535 --> 00:15:17,540
He relayed the killer's words
to us just before he passed:

226
00:15:18,541 --> 00:15:23,546
"Are you Aizu dogs blind?
The five of us will see heaven's justice done."

227
00:15:24,547 --> 00:15:26,508
I have a request.

228
00:15:27,467 --> 00:15:29,511
Please hunt down these five devils,

229
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:32,555
and send them to their graves.

230
00:15:35,517 --> 00:15:36,518
Their eyes?

231
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,522
How could anyone do
something so awful? They'll pay.

232
00:15:41,481 --> 00:15:42,565
First, we need information.

233
00:15:43,483 --> 00:15:47,487
What they look like, when they strike,
how they operate, anything.

234
00:15:47,487 --> 00:15:48,488
Information...

235
00:15:49,572 --> 00:15:51,533
Do you have an idea?

236
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:54,494
Oh, no, nothing definite.

237
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:55,537
Tell us.

238
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:00,500
The kid knows?

239
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:01,501
Are you serious?

240
00:16:01,584 --> 00:16:02,544
A child?

241
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:06,548
Y-You can't trust that guy.
Especially his looks.

242
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:10,468
No, we shouldn't judge him
by his appearance.

243
00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:13,471
Well then, Nio-kun,
we'll leave that to you boys.

244
00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:15,515
C-Count me out!

245
00:16:17,517 --> 00:16:18,518
We're wasting time.

246
00:16:21,479 --> 00:16:24,482
I know the enemy will target me.

247
00:16:24,524 --> 00:16:28,486
All I need to do is take a walk,
and they'll come to me.

248
00:16:28,486 --> 00:16:30,530
H-How can you be so sure?

249
00:16:30,530 --> 00:16:32,490
How?

250
00:16:32,490 --> 00:16:36,536
Because anyone can see that I, Serizawa Kamo,
am a force to be reckoned with!

251
00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:38,538
They can't ignore me.

252
00:16:47,505 --> 00:16:49,549
Taro-kun, do you have a moment?

253
00:16:49,549 --> 00:16:50,550
Yes, sir.

254
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:52,552
What will you do, Hajime-kun?

255
00:16:52,552 --> 00:16:56,472
He said Tsuruya on Nijo-dori, right?
What are we waiting for?

256
00:17:01,561 --> 00:17:03,521
Wow, what a surprise.

257
00:17:03,563 --> 00:17:07,483
I never imagined you'd
come straight here today.

258
00:17:07,483 --> 00:17:10,486
Sorry for barging in on you
so suddenly, Seto-kun.

259
00:17:10,486 --> 00:17:11,529
Oh, it's no trouble.

260
00:17:11,571 --> 00:17:14,490
I can't offer you a
quiet place to talk, though.

261
00:17:14,532 --> 00:17:16,534
This is a nice shop.

262
00:17:16,534 --> 00:17:19,495
Sure is, although
it's getting long in the tooth.

263
00:17:19,537 --> 00:17:22,540
The walls are plastered.
Pretty color, don't you think?

264
00:17:22,540 --> 00:17:24,542
No, I didn't mean that.

265
00:17:25,543 --> 00:17:27,545
This is what you call
"storefront sales," right?

266
00:17:27,587 --> 00:17:32,508
You set out your wares in front of the shop
and let your customers choose.

267
00:17:32,550 --> 00:17:35,553
They're so colorful that
they feel excited just coming here.

268
00:17:36,512 --> 00:17:38,473
You sure know a lot.

269
00:17:38,556 --> 00:17:42,518
I learned by helping out
at my granny's dango shop.

270
00:17:42,518 --> 00:17:44,520
It's called Chirinuya.
Have you heard of it?

271
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,481
Yup, I know the place.

272
00:17:47,482 --> 00:17:50,568
Every customer here
looks genuinely happy.

273
00:17:51,486 --> 00:17:53,529
They're all engrossed
in picking what to buy.

274
00:17:54,530 --> 00:17:57,533
So if you ask me,
this really is a nice shop.

275
00:17:59,535 --> 00:18:02,497
Thanks. I'm glad to hear you say so.

276
00:18:04,457 --> 00:18:07,502
I thought all you Miburo came from Edo.

277
00:18:07,543 --> 00:18:09,504
All the grownups did,

278
00:18:09,504 --> 00:18:12,548
but we three kids were born in Kyoto.

279
00:18:12,548 --> 00:18:16,511
Oh, so that's it.
That makes us four of a kind.

280
00:18:17,553 --> 00:18:18,554
Now, let me guess.

281
00:18:19,514 --> 00:18:22,517
You're here about the
murdered Aizu samurai.

282
00:18:23,518 --> 00:18:24,477
Yes.

283
00:18:25,478 --> 00:18:28,481
It started after the lord of Aizu moved in.

284
00:18:28,523 --> 00:18:32,527
Someone killed a samurai on his way home
from Shimabara and took his eyes.

285
00:18:33,486 --> 00:18:34,570
There has to be a grudge behind it.

286
00:18:35,488 --> 00:18:36,489
A grudge?

287
00:18:37,490 --> 00:18:38,533
That's no excuse, though.

288
00:18:39,492 --> 00:18:41,536
Whatever their reasons,
they've gone too far.

289
00:18:42,537 --> 00:18:43,454
Yes.

290
00:18:45,498 --> 00:18:47,500
Huh. That's a surprise.

291
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:50,461
I figured you'd get angrier.

292
00:18:50,461 --> 00:18:52,505
Really? I mean, I am angry, of course.

293
00:18:52,547 --> 00:18:53,548
You don't look it.

294
00:18:54,507 --> 00:18:55,508
Is that all?

295
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:58,553
Oh, I know where the killings happened, too.

296
00:19:02,473 --> 00:19:05,476
On this map... it'd be around here.

297
00:19:05,518 --> 00:19:08,521
I see. They're mostly near the Kamo River.

298
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,482
We're wasting time. I'm leaving.

299
00:19:13,526 --> 00:19:15,570
Anyway, it's a real mess.

300
00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:16,487
Huh?

301
00:19:16,571 --> 00:19:21,492
I shouldn't have to tell you three,
but this city's in bad shape.

302
00:19:22,452 --> 00:19:24,495
People are flocking here from all over.

303
00:19:25,538 --> 00:19:29,542
Choshu or Aizu, extremists
or Miburo, it's all the same.

304
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:31,502
They're all outsiders.

305
00:19:32,545 --> 00:19:35,506
Hey, what do you say we chase them off?

306
00:19:35,548 --> 00:19:37,550
Cockroaches, every one of them.

307
00:19:38,509 --> 00:19:41,512
I'll work with you to keep this city safe.

308
00:19:43,514 --> 00:19:45,475
Thank you. But...

309
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,481
I only hope that's enough
to bring peace to the city.

310
00:19:55,526 --> 00:19:56,527
Yes.

311
00:19:58,488 --> 00:19:59,488
So do I.

312
00:20:02,491 --> 00:20:05,453
He said we'd better go this way,
since it's getting dark.

313
00:20:07,496 --> 00:20:08,539
What did you think, Hajime-kun?

314
00:20:10,541 --> 00:20:13,502
Hmph. What did you think?

315
00:20:14,503 --> 00:20:17,506
Well, Seto-kun's pretty fishy.

316
00:20:19,467 --> 00:20:20,509
When did you catch on?

317
00:20:20,551 --> 00:20:22,511
Well, from the start.

318
00:20:23,554 --> 00:20:28,517
The way he was talking,
it felt like he was leading us along.

319
00:20:29,518 --> 00:20:32,480
Seeing him again made me sure of it.

320
00:20:33,481 --> 00:20:34,482
He's suspicious.

321
00:20:34,565 --> 00:20:35,524
Right.

322
00:20:37,526 --> 00:20:38,527
Should we kill him?

323
00:20:38,527 --> 00:20:39,570
Hm...

324
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:44,533
No. I'd like to have
one more honest talk with him.

325
00:20:47,495 --> 00:20:50,456
You never make any sense.

326
00:20:50,539 --> 00:20:51,540
You think so?

327
00:21:10,518 --> 00:21:11,519
Will he strike?

328
00:21:30,538 --> 00:21:32,498
It's a good thing we had our guards up.

329
00:21:32,540 --> 00:21:34,542
We may be kids, but we're not easy prey.

330
00:21:39,463 --> 00:21:40,548
I pity you children.

331
00:21:44,552 --> 00:21:49,557
United

332
00:23:17,728 --> 00:23:25,778
Next time
Saito Hajime here.
I was out with Nio when we ran
into the guy behind the killings.

333
00:23:25,819 --> 00:23:29,740
Who the hell is he, anyway?

334
00:23:29,782 --> 00:23:32,785
His first strike proves he knows
how to use a sword, but that's it.

335
00:23:33,827 --> 00:23:38,749
There's no backing out now.
Our only choice is to fight.

336
00:23:38,749 --> 00:23:39,792
Let's get him, Nio!

337
00:23:40,793 --> 00:23:43,712
Next time: "To Each His Own Justice."

338
00:23:43,796 --> 00:23:46,799
Don't you dare miss it.
To
Each
