1864
4
00:00:37.328 --> 00:00:40.415
With Japan now open to foreign trade,
5
00:00:40.498 --> 00:00:45.336
some seek to end the Shogun's rule
6
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:48.965
and restore the Emperor's authority.
7
00:00:49.048 --> 00:00:52.051
Ambitions swirl together with ideals.
8
00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:56.264
Opposing factions face each other.
9
00:00:56.347 --> 00:01:00.018
Fighting spreads through the land.
10
00:01:03.772 --> 00:01:05.106
Trouble!
11
00:01:07.067 --> 00:01:08.485
There's trouble!
12
00:01:10.111 --> 00:01:11.738
Damn!
13
00:01:17.077 --> 00:01:18.995
There's trouble!
14
00:01:22.707 --> 00:01:25.835
KYOTO
TSUSHIMA DOMAIN RESIDENCE
15
00:01:25.919 --> 00:01:28.880
Open the gate! It's Hirata!
16
00:01:29.464 --> 00:01:30.632
Quick!
17
00:01:41.768 --> 00:01:44.020
So you made it, Hirata?
18
00:01:44.771 --> 00:01:47.690
We're having a hard time
making this man talk.
19
00:01:55.573 --> 00:01:56.908
Was it him?
20
00:01:58.618 --> 00:02:03.289
The one who attacked our men
and cut off your arm?
21
00:02:04.207 --> 00:02:06.084
It was dark.
22
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:09.295
Where did you find him?
23
00:02:10.004 --> 00:02:13.091
He was wandering around
outside last night.
24
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.718
Then it's not him.
25
00:02:16.344 --> 00:02:20.640
That guy had a nasty look.
A very dangerous character.
26
00:02:21.975 --> 00:02:24.435
He'd have been harder to take.
27
00:02:26.563 --> 00:02:28.439
I bear you no ill…
28
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.861
but for the new age…
29
00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:35.446
What?
30
00:02:39.033 --> 00:02:40.410
You must all die.
31
00:02:41.494 --> 00:02:42.620
No!
32
00:02:51.129 --> 00:02:55.008
My ear!
33
00:03:01.514 --> 00:03:03.391
Someone!
34
00:03:05.059 --> 00:03:07.353
Help!
35
00:03:07.437 --> 00:03:09.647
Get him!
36
00:03:13.359 --> 00:03:15.403
Anyone! Help!
37
00:03:16.154 --> 00:03:17.947
It hurts.
38
00:03:18.031 --> 00:03:19.407
A demon!
39
00:03:19.991 --> 00:03:22.118
It's a demon!
40
00:04:29.644 --> 00:04:31.145
Damn you!
41
00:04:35.858 --> 00:04:37.986
You bastard! Who are you?
42
00:05:46.596 --> 00:05:47.430
Soji…
43
00:05:48.431 --> 00:05:50.933
The pro-shogun Tsushimas are dead.
44
00:05:52.894 --> 00:05:57.148
Meaning now the Tsushimas
are anti-shogun, Mr. Kondo?
45
00:06:07.366 --> 00:06:09.869
Lord Katsui!
46
00:06:13.206 --> 00:06:14.874
Describe the man.
47
00:06:16.375 --> 00:06:18.294
All these men, in a flash.
48
00:06:19.253 --> 00:06:24.342
You don't need to ask, Mr. Saito.
It was Battosai the Killer.
49
00:06:25.635 --> 00:06:29.639
Cold-blooded, emotionless.
A killing machine.
50
00:06:43.152 --> 00:06:47.824
Can you believe this guy
is getting married in these crazy times?
51
00:06:48.783 --> 00:06:50.159
Sorry!
52
00:06:50.243 --> 00:06:52.078
Oh, why not?
53
00:06:52.161 --> 00:06:54.038
He's a happy guy.
54
00:06:54.539 --> 00:06:56.290
I'm jealous.
55
00:07:02.255 --> 00:07:04.966
APRIL 5TH, KYOTO
56
00:07:05.049 --> 00:07:05.883
SHIGEKURA DOMAIN RESIDENCE
57
00:07:05.967 --> 00:07:07.468
Who's there?
58
00:07:08.052 --> 00:07:10.930
Inspector Jubei Shigekura, I assume?
59
00:07:11.013 --> 00:07:13.891
Who's there? State your name!
60
00:07:16.853 --> 00:07:19.439
-Hey!
-You're Battosai?
61
00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:26.237
Bastard!
62
00:07:34.162 --> 00:07:35.913
You Choshu rebel!
63
00:08:00.688 --> 00:08:03.316
I don't want to die.
64
00:08:09.489 --> 00:08:12.408
I can't die now. I can't.
65
00:08:17.622 --> 00:08:20.291
There's someone I care for.
66
00:08:21.125 --> 00:08:23.377
I can't die now!
67
00:08:37.975 --> 00:08:41.020
I can't die now!
68
00:08:41.103 --> 00:08:44.357
There's someone I love!
69
00:08:46.317 --> 00:08:47.985
I don't want to die!
70
00:09:16.514 --> 00:09:18.182
I can't die!
71
00:09:19.642 --> 00:09:21.227
I can't…
72
00:09:26.857 --> 00:09:28.734
There's someone I love.
73
00:10:23.122 --> 00:10:27.001
JUSTIFICATION FOR EXECUTION
74
00:10:50.733 --> 00:10:54.153
KOHAGIYA INN
75
00:11:23.766 --> 00:11:28.771
There are still lots of shogunate men,
even without the Tsushimas.
76
00:11:28.854 --> 00:11:33.109
It'll be a while before we Choshu men
can show our faces again.
77
00:11:33.901 --> 00:11:37.029
But one day we will rule.
78
00:12:04.306 --> 00:12:06.809
With swords in hand…
79
00:12:06.892 --> 00:12:09.603
we'll show them who's loyal!
80
00:12:09.687 --> 00:12:11.105
Yes!
81
00:12:11.188 --> 00:12:13.899
But we have to be careful!
82
00:12:13.983 --> 00:12:17.820
We'll take back what we've lost!
83
00:12:17.903 --> 00:12:19.238
Step back!
84
00:12:20.030 --> 00:12:22.950
-Stop Aizu and Satsuma!
-We can't accept this!
85
00:12:23.033 --> 00:12:26.287
-The Emperor will listen!
-That's right!
86
00:12:31.667 --> 00:12:33.127
What's all this noise?
87
00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:34.587
Quiet down!
88
00:12:37.047 --> 00:12:38.549
Here he is.
89
00:12:42.052 --> 00:12:44.180
Been a while, Himura.
90
00:12:46.390 --> 00:12:47.600
What's that cut?
91
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.853
A Shigekura man.
92
00:12:50.936 --> 00:12:51.854
I see.
93
00:12:52.855 --> 00:12:57.026
He must have been good
to score a hit on you.
94
00:12:58.027 --> 00:12:59.195
Not so much that.
95
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.032
He had a strong will to live.
96
00:13:05.117 --> 00:13:08.537
After all the men you've killed,
you're still not used to it?
97
00:13:11.499 --> 00:13:15.252
Why did you call me here, Mr. Katsura?
98
00:13:15.836 --> 00:13:16.754
Hey!
99
00:13:17.796 --> 00:13:20.174
How dare you take that tone!
100
00:13:20.257 --> 00:13:22.968
I've killed a hundred in six months.
101
00:13:23.719 --> 00:13:27.056
I can hide, but one day
the shogun's men will find me.
102
00:13:28.265 --> 00:13:30.976
I shouldn't be seen around here.
103
00:13:34.021 --> 00:13:35.731
Then I'll make it short.
104
00:13:37.525 --> 00:13:40.986
The shogunate forces
grow stronger by the day.
105
00:13:42.071 --> 00:13:46.367
Especially the "Wolves of Mibu."
106
00:13:47.952 --> 00:13:50.746
The Shinsengumi police?
107
00:13:51.997 --> 00:13:56.377
They're probably the best men
the shogunate has.
108
00:13:59.964 --> 00:14:02.299
Be very careful.
109
00:14:03.342 --> 00:14:07.763
For them, Battosai the Killer
is their biggest threat.
110
00:14:07.846 --> 00:14:10.015
They'll try anything.
111
00:14:11.642 --> 00:14:12.893
I understand.
112
00:14:15.896 --> 00:14:16.814
This is…
113
00:14:18.148 --> 00:14:21.735
Furutaka of the Masuya.
He does a lot for us.
114
00:14:21.819 --> 00:14:23.279
At your service.
115
00:14:30.411 --> 00:14:34.039
Leaving already?
116
00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:45.092
You're probably thinking,
this isn't the time for women.
117
00:14:48.804 --> 00:14:53.142
Our movement exists so that
a girl like this can be happy.
118
00:15:05.696 --> 00:15:10.075
That samurai looked so sad…
119
00:15:11.660 --> 00:15:13.537
I've known him for a year.
120
00:15:14.413 --> 00:15:19.543
He acts all grown up,
but he hasn't changed a bit.
121
00:15:32.264 --> 00:15:34.266
Status means nothing here.
122
00:15:34.350 --> 00:15:35.225
1 YEAR EARLIER
AMIDAIJI TEMPLE, CHOSHU
123
00:15:35.309 --> 00:15:41.148
What matters is skill with a sword.
Anyone who has that is welcome.
124
00:15:41.732 --> 00:15:45.235
Our strike force depends on
the element of surprise.
125
00:15:49.198 --> 00:15:50.491
DON'T FEAR TAKING A DIFFERENT PATH
126
00:15:52.034 --> 00:15:53.118
Strike!
127
00:16:06.048 --> 00:16:06.882
Hey, you.
128
00:16:08.133 --> 00:16:10.052
Why do you want to join?
129
00:16:12.137 --> 00:16:14.223
To overthrow the Shogun.
130
00:16:14.807 --> 00:16:16.767
Are you some peasant's son?
131
00:16:16.850 --> 00:16:20.062
"Skill with a sword," the man said.
132
00:16:20.145 --> 00:16:21.522
Was he lying?
133
00:16:22.147 --> 00:16:23.232
What did you say?
134
00:16:23.315 --> 00:16:25.025
Then fight me.
135
00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:29.947
Let's start by seeing how good you are.
136
00:16:38.455 --> 00:16:42.042
I don't want to hurt someone
I'll be fighting together with.
137
00:16:42.126 --> 00:16:43.127
What did you say?
138
00:16:44.211 --> 00:16:45.254
Don't worry.
139
00:16:48.841 --> 00:16:51.510
Once he's drawn, he's ready for that.
140
00:16:54.096 --> 00:16:56.849
Show us what you've got.
141
00:17:37.014 --> 00:17:38.057
As you were.
142
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.726
-Back to work!
-Resume!
143
00:17:40.809 --> 00:17:42.519
-Now!
-Hurry!
144
00:17:44.146 --> 00:17:45.856
The quick draw.
145
00:17:46.648 --> 00:17:49.651
But in a style I've never seen.
146
00:17:52.488 --> 00:17:53.572
What's it called?
147
00:17:54.823 --> 00:17:56.450
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.
148
00:18:07.086 --> 00:18:11.632
Have you ever killed someone?
149
00:18:15.803 --> 00:18:16.970
No.
150
00:18:17.554 --> 00:18:20.474
Do you think you could?
151
00:18:27.815 --> 00:18:30.359
If beyond the lives lost…
152
00:18:32.653 --> 00:18:36.657
lay a new age
where all lived in peace of mind.
153
00:18:51.964 --> 00:18:54.508
Drink!
154
00:18:56.885 --> 00:18:58.971
Here. Sit here.
155
00:19:03.475 --> 00:19:05.144
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.
156
00:19:07.104 --> 00:19:08.814
I'd heard of it…
157
00:19:09.398 --> 00:19:11.650
but I didn't believe it.
158
00:19:22.494 --> 00:19:23.912
Shinsaku…
159
00:19:25.289 --> 00:19:26.915
I want that man.
160
00:19:29.001 --> 00:19:33.922
If you want assassins,
why not be one yourself?
161
00:19:36.842 --> 00:19:40.512
You're the portable shrine
of our anti-shogun movement.
162
00:19:41.388 --> 00:19:46.768
I guess no one will carry it for us
if it's covered in blood.
163
00:19:51.899 --> 00:19:52.858
But…
164
00:19:54.651 --> 00:19:57.779
you're going to ruin that kid's life.
165
00:19:58.947 --> 00:20:03.827
Just make sure you keep yourself clean
right to the very end.
166
00:20:13.212 --> 00:20:15.589
You don't think I know that?
167
00:20:35.108 --> 00:20:42.032
With all the men he's killed,
he's still completely pure at heart.
168
00:20:44.993 --> 00:20:45.911
But…
169
00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:53.627
that's all the more reason
that killing is making him feel…
170
00:20:55.128 --> 00:20:56.755
uneasy.
171
00:20:58.215 --> 00:21:03.679
NAGURA TAVERN
172
00:21:03.762 --> 00:21:05.555
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
173
00:21:05.639 --> 00:21:07.432
-One more.
-Okay!
174
00:21:23.490 --> 00:21:25.325
I can't die!
175
00:21:27.327 --> 00:21:29.246
There's someone I love!
176
00:21:43.635 --> 00:21:44.970
Good evening.
177
00:21:46.096 --> 00:21:47.723
What can I get you?
178
00:21:47.806 --> 00:21:50.225
-A cold sake, please.
-Okay.
179
00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:53.061
This looks like fun.
180
00:21:53.145 --> 00:21:54.354
She's gorgeous.
181
00:21:54.438 --> 00:21:55.522
Yeah!
182
00:21:55.605 --> 00:21:57.065
And alone.
183
00:21:57.149 --> 00:21:58.483
I've never seen her before.
184
00:22:07.284 --> 00:22:08.952
Here you go.
185
00:22:24.718 --> 00:22:26.762
-Old man!
-Yes?
186
00:22:26.845 --> 00:22:28.055
Another!
187
00:22:28.555 --> 00:22:29.389
Okay.
188
00:22:36.229 --> 00:22:37.898
Woman…
189
00:22:39.149 --> 00:22:41.318
Pour us a drink.
190
00:22:41.401 --> 00:22:45.238
We're Emperor loyalists
from the Aizu Domain.
191
00:22:46.364 --> 00:22:51.578
We're out day and night
risking our lives for the likes of you.
192
00:22:52.621 --> 00:22:57.292
You owe us, you know.
You should be nice to us.
193
00:22:58.085 --> 00:23:00.378
Aizu's pro-shogun, stupid!
194
00:23:01.922 --> 00:23:03.340
What did you say?
195
00:23:08.011 --> 00:23:12.099
That's better. Just keep your mouths shut.
196
00:23:15.769 --> 00:23:17.229
That was close.
197
00:23:17.312 --> 00:23:19.231
It sure was.
198
00:23:19.314 --> 00:23:20.148
What?
199
00:23:20.732 --> 00:23:23.568
I was about to draw on you.
200
00:23:26.404 --> 00:23:27.697
What?
201
00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:34.496
Take my advice.
202
00:23:35.914 --> 00:23:37.833
Things are going to get worse.
203
00:23:38.750 --> 00:23:42.003
Kyoto's no place for fake patriots.
204
00:23:44.256 --> 00:23:47.801
If you value your lives,
go back to your village.
205
00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:04.776
What a pathetic pair!
206
00:24:05.569 --> 00:24:07.195
Fake patriots!
207
00:24:12.951 --> 00:24:16.204
I'll have my bill.
Sorry about the trouble.
208
00:24:16.830 --> 00:24:18.081
Okay.
209
00:24:23.086 --> 00:24:25.297
You're really going to kill him?
210
00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:29.009
Damn right! Nobody makes a fool of me.
211
00:24:29.092 --> 00:24:30.218
Here he comes!
212
00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:47.319
I would run if I were you.
213
00:24:52.324 --> 00:24:53.158
Hey!
214
00:24:53.241 --> 00:24:54.117
I don't run.
215
00:25:04.336 --> 00:25:06.087
Battosai, huh?
216
00:25:08.298 --> 00:25:09.633
You're mine!
217
00:25:52.175 --> 00:25:54.886
I thought I'd come out and say thank you.
218
00:25:58.223 --> 00:26:03.436
A rain of blood
is a cliché in tragic plays.
219
00:26:06.273 --> 00:26:08.233
But you really…
220
00:26:10.193 --> 00:26:12.070
make it rain blood.
221
00:26:33.675 --> 00:26:37.595
KOHAGIYA INN
222
00:26:55.530 --> 00:26:57.240
Thank you.
223
00:26:57.324 --> 00:26:58.700
Not at all.
224
00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:03.371
You Choshu men seem busy.
225
00:28:07.852 --> 00:28:12.273
Mr. Himura,
this isn't a brothel, you know.
226
00:28:13.858 --> 00:28:16.903
But I'll admit she works hard.
227
00:28:19.989 --> 00:28:20.824
Hey…
228
00:28:24.327 --> 00:28:25.412
You're better now?
229
00:28:27.247 --> 00:28:30.500
Thank you. I'm sorry about last night.
230
00:28:31.334 --> 00:28:34.045
It seems you looked after me.
231
00:28:37.006 --> 00:28:37.841
Hey…
232
00:28:45.557 --> 00:28:46.725
Your name?
233
00:28:48.476 --> 00:28:49.310
Tomoe.
234
00:28:51.146 --> 00:28:52.439
Tomoe Yukishiro.
235
00:28:54.566 --> 00:28:56.192
What are you doing here?
236
00:28:57.944 --> 00:29:00.864
As you can see,
I'm helping in the kitchen.
237
00:29:08.037 --> 00:29:10.582
Coming right up.
238
00:29:16.421 --> 00:29:19.299
You're looking cheerful today.
239
00:29:22.302 --> 00:29:24.971
How do you do? My name is Tomoe.
240
00:29:25.555 --> 00:29:27.098
I'll be working here.
241
00:29:34.856 --> 00:29:36.858
She's Himura's?
242
00:29:37.358 --> 00:29:40.653
I guess there's more to him
than meets the eye.
243
00:29:42.572 --> 00:29:43.698
Can I have more?
244
00:29:43.782 --> 00:29:44.908
Me too.
245
00:29:46.910 --> 00:29:50.205
She’s no friendlier than he is!
246
00:29:50.288 --> 00:29:51.206
Settle down.
247
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.251
Me too.
248
00:29:55.335 --> 00:29:56.753
I'll have some too.
249
00:29:56.836 --> 00:29:58.338
I'm first.
250
00:29:58.421 --> 00:29:59.798
This is good!
251
00:30:07.013 --> 00:30:08.932
Is something wrong?
252
00:30:14.229 --> 00:30:16.105
You're a problem.
253
00:30:17.190 --> 00:30:20.568
Please forget
what you saw last night and leave.
254
00:30:22.904 --> 00:30:25.031
Is me being here a problem?
255
00:30:26.115 --> 00:30:28.284
Your family will be worried.
256
00:30:30.620 --> 00:30:35.291
If I had a family to go back to,
I wouldn't have been drinking alone.
257
00:30:38.628 --> 00:30:43.967
I don't know your story, but right now
we can't really have you here.
258
00:30:44.050 --> 00:30:49.472
Then will you kill me? Like you did
that samurai in black last night?
259
00:30:55.687 --> 00:30:57.689
Think whatever you want about me.
260
00:30:58.773 --> 00:31:02.777
But I kill to bring about
a new age of peace.
261
00:31:03.611 --> 00:31:05.780
I don't kill just anybody.
262
00:31:06.364 --> 00:31:09.075
Only the shogun's swordsmen.
263
00:31:10.660 --> 00:31:14.789
I don't kill townsfolk
or anyone with no sword.
264
00:31:19.294 --> 00:31:25.842
So killing depends only on
whether or not they have a sword?
265
00:31:28.386 --> 00:31:32.348
If I drew a sword right now,
266
00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:35.143
would you kill me?
267
00:31:39.814 --> 00:31:41.190
Well…
268
00:31:45.445 --> 00:31:50.199
When you find the answer to that,
come and tell me.
269
00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:39.582
I heard you were attacked.
270
00:32:40.166 --> 00:32:41.417
An ambush.
271
00:32:41.501 --> 00:32:43.086
Shinsengumi?
272
00:32:43.169 --> 00:32:44.128
No.
273
00:32:44.712 --> 00:32:49.384
Someone underground, like me,
who'd kill any way he could.
274
00:32:50.885 --> 00:32:54.722
A secret agent of theirs? Or perhaps…
275
00:33:00.812 --> 00:33:03.690
Only a few of us know about Himura.
276
00:33:04.273 --> 00:33:06.484
But he was ambushed.
277
00:33:07.068 --> 00:33:11.489
You mean to say
we have a traitor in our midst?
278
00:35:30.419 --> 00:35:31.879
You're still up?
279
00:35:37.385 --> 00:35:41.806
When you go out at night, I can't sleep.
280
00:35:45.977 --> 00:35:47.562
Don't get involved with me.
281
00:35:57.488 --> 00:35:58.364
For the blood.
282
00:36:18.718 --> 00:36:20.303
Do you intend…
283
00:36:22.847 --> 00:36:25.057
to go on killing forever?
284
00:37:05.431 --> 00:37:06.557
Thank you.
285
00:37:08.142 --> 00:37:11.938
-Help with the firewood, will you?
-Yes, ma'am.
286
00:37:15.524 --> 00:37:16.984
Over there.
287
00:37:27.161 --> 00:37:28.871
Careful, it's heavy.
288
00:37:48.391 --> 00:37:53.896
-Those men get their clothes so dirty!
-Right.
289
00:37:53.980 --> 00:37:55.064
We can't keep up!
290
00:37:58.150 --> 00:38:01.070
-Here we go.
-Take those too.
291
00:38:01.612 --> 00:38:03.739
Thanks, Tomoe.
292
00:38:03.823 --> 00:38:04.991
Thank you.
293
00:38:54.498 --> 00:38:55.499
Tomoe…
294
00:38:57.668 --> 00:39:00.463
Thanks a lot.
295
00:39:15.478 --> 00:39:17.480
Don't leave any.
296
00:39:19.231 --> 00:39:21.192
She's like a wife!
297
00:39:21.275 --> 00:39:23.402
They suit each other!
298
00:39:24.779 --> 00:39:26.822
The perfect pair!
299
00:39:29.158 --> 00:39:32.161
That woman never smiles.
300
00:39:32.787 --> 00:39:34.955
She's a strange one.
301
00:39:38.334 --> 00:39:40.211
Give me some tea.
302
00:40:00.439 --> 00:40:02.817
Really? With Himura?
303
00:40:06.445 --> 00:40:10.282
Are you sure she's not a spy?
304
00:40:11.409 --> 00:40:12.660
I don't know.
305
00:40:14.161 --> 00:40:20.960
Himura said she saw him kill,
so he had to keep her close.
306
00:40:21.043 --> 00:40:22.545
Where's she from?
307
00:40:23.170 --> 00:40:27.216
From her accent and bearing,
she's obviously not from Kyoto.
308
00:40:27.299 --> 00:40:30.928
She can read and write, so she's probably
the daughter of a samurai.
309
00:40:31.595 --> 00:40:36.851
Maybe a poor samurai's daughter
had to work as a whore.
310
00:40:37.643 --> 00:40:41.021
There's been no sign of her
trying to contact anyone.
311
00:40:41.772 --> 00:40:45.818
The only thing that worries me
is how Himura looks now.
312
00:40:46.318 --> 00:40:49.905
Himura, about tonight…
313
00:40:53.701 --> 00:40:55.828
Mr. Himura is asleep.
314
00:41:00.875 --> 00:41:02.293
Asleep?
315
00:41:03.002 --> 00:41:04.336
In plain view?
316
00:41:08.007 --> 00:41:11.385
I guess maybe he's mellowing.
317
00:41:16.974 --> 00:41:18.267
Tell Battosai…
318
00:41:18.934 --> 00:41:22.605
to cut down anyone
standing in the way of the new age.
319
00:41:22.688 --> 00:41:24.440
He can come to me for swords.
320
00:41:25.316 --> 00:41:26.817
I'll make all he wants.
321
00:41:34.492 --> 00:41:36.452
My swords will change history.
322
00:42:13.364 --> 00:42:19.370
Excuse the late hour.
May I come in for a minute?
323
00:42:20.788 --> 00:42:22.873
Mr. Himura goes out at night.
324
00:42:22.957 --> 00:42:24.208
I know.
325
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.633
Do you have some business with me?
326
00:42:35.427 --> 00:42:37.012
There's something…
327
00:42:39.431 --> 00:42:41.559
I'd like you to know.
328
00:42:45.104 --> 00:42:49.692
"Gentlemen, go mad."
329
00:42:50.568 --> 00:42:56.115
Our mentor Shoin Yoshida said this to us
just before he was beheaded.
330
00:42:58.659 --> 00:43:04.164
We must go mad to end the rot
of a 300-year-old shogunate.
331
00:43:04.248 --> 00:43:10.462
And as the spearpoint of mad justice
that will bring this about…
332
00:43:11.714 --> 00:43:15.634
Himura has the harshest role to play.
333
00:43:29.565 --> 00:43:34.695
Please do nothing to blunt his sword.
334
00:44:26.664 --> 00:44:28.248
May I come in?
335
00:44:31.710 --> 00:44:33.962
Mr. Katsura left this for you.
336
00:45:01.407 --> 00:45:02.825
Do me a favor.
337
00:45:07.329 --> 00:45:09.373
Come out with me.
338
00:45:34.731 --> 00:45:36.191
Isn't he cute?
339
00:45:39.319 --> 00:45:43.073
His parents must be so proud
he was chosen for that role.
340
00:45:45.659 --> 00:45:50.122
Will he make a wrong move? Will he fall?
341
00:45:53.375 --> 00:45:56.587
I'm sure they're here watching,
feeling very nervous.
342
00:46:01.216 --> 00:46:05.596
Everyone here is someone's child.
343
00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:12.102
Everyone here has someone they love.
344
00:46:14.313 --> 00:46:19.818
And they all take it for granted
that their lives together…
345
00:46:21.111 --> 00:46:23.363
will go on and on.
346
00:46:29.453 --> 00:46:32.206
Is there really such a thing as…
347
00:46:34.291 --> 00:46:36.001
fighting for peace?
348
00:46:39.213 --> 00:46:40.797
If it's for us all,
349
00:46:42.799 --> 00:46:44.676
do ideals mean…
350
00:46:47.721 --> 00:46:50.265
that little things…
351
00:46:52.935 --> 00:46:55.562
must fall victim?
352
00:47:00.150 --> 00:47:01.568
And aren't you…
353
00:47:03.862 --> 00:47:06.031
a victim too?
354
00:47:14.081 --> 00:47:16.041
With a sword…
355
00:47:20.504 --> 00:47:22.714
that boy cuts the rope…
356
00:47:24.049 --> 00:47:26.468
dividing this world from the next.
357
00:47:28.262 --> 00:47:30.264
Only then does the parade begin.
358
00:47:34.643 --> 00:47:38.480
For times to change,
someone must use a sword.
359
00:47:40.274 --> 00:47:42.568
That just happens to be me.
360
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:08.176
SHINSENGUMI HEADQUARTERS
361
00:48:18.604 --> 00:48:20.647
You piece of crap!
362
00:48:25.235 --> 00:48:26.486
Saito.
363
00:48:29.448 --> 00:48:30.490
Look.
364
00:48:34.202 --> 00:48:38.373
Everything else was burned,
but we found that in a shed.
365
00:48:39.416 --> 00:48:44.588
When the wind rises on Festival Eve,
they plan to burn the palace…
366
00:48:45.505 --> 00:48:48.342
and take the Emperor to Choshu.
367
00:48:51.303 --> 00:48:54.640
We'll look good if we can stop it.
368
00:48:56.016 --> 00:49:00.687
And we'll pay them back for
what they did to the Tsushimas.
369
00:49:12.699 --> 00:49:15.452
Is there really such a thing as…
370
00:49:16.370 --> 00:49:17.746
fighting for peace?
371
00:49:19.623 --> 00:49:21.124
If it's for us all,
372
00:49:22.459 --> 00:49:24.127
do ideals mean…
373
00:49:25.712 --> 00:49:28.632
that little things…
374
00:49:30.050 --> 00:49:32.260
must fall victim?
375
00:49:37.349 --> 00:49:40.936
Kanryusai Takeda, Shinpachi Nagakura,
376
00:49:41.728 --> 00:49:44.398
Heisuke Todo, and Soji.
377
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:47.943
You ten form the Commander's unit.
378
00:49:48.777 --> 00:49:51.071
The rest will follow me.
379
00:49:52.114 --> 00:49:53.156
Mr. Kondo.
380
00:49:56.952 --> 00:50:01.915
Based on our inspectors' evidence,
we will search inns in Kawaramachi.
381
00:50:03.625 --> 00:50:05.711
Detain any Choshu men you find.
382
00:50:06.837 --> 00:50:08.171
If they resist…
383
00:50:10.173 --> 00:50:11.383
kill them.
384
00:50:14.052 --> 00:50:15.846
Follow the Commander!
385
00:50:17.681 --> 00:50:18.682
Let's go!
386
00:50:19.391 --> 00:50:21.101
Inoue squad!
387
00:50:26.022 --> 00:50:27.065
Himura!
388
00:50:29.317 --> 00:50:30.485
It's Mr. Katsura!
389
00:50:31.570 --> 00:50:32.904
What's wrong?
390
00:50:32.988 --> 00:50:38.160
The Shinsengumi arrested
our agent, Furutaka!
391
00:50:38.243 --> 00:50:39.661
At your service.
392
00:50:41.496 --> 00:50:44.958
The patriots have a plot
that happens tonight.
393
00:50:45.041 --> 00:50:47.544
They'll set fire to the palace,
394
00:50:47.627 --> 00:50:51.465
kidnap the Emperor,
and take him to Choshu.
395
00:50:52.507 --> 00:50:55.302
Mr. Katsura wants to stop them.
396
00:50:55.385 --> 00:50:56.428
Where are they?
397
00:50:56.511 --> 00:50:58.722
At the Ikedaya Inn.
398
00:51:00.432 --> 00:51:05.812
If Furutaka talked, the shogun's men
would get Mr. Katsura along with them!
399
00:51:45.185 --> 00:51:46.853
Where's the owner?
400
00:51:47.938 --> 00:51:52.067
IKEDAYA INN
401
00:51:57.489 --> 00:51:58.406
Yes?
402
00:51:58.490 --> 00:51:59.866
Police!
403
00:52:02.619 --> 00:52:04.162
Everyone upstairs!
404
00:52:04.246 --> 00:52:06.414
It's a raid! Go!
405
00:52:11.586 --> 00:52:12.754
Police!
406
00:52:18.677 --> 00:52:19.886
Kondo!
407
00:52:20.470 --> 00:52:21.596
Run!
408
00:52:22.681 --> 00:52:23.765
Get them!
409
00:52:32.649 --> 00:52:33.483
Go!
410
00:52:40.532 --> 00:52:42.284
Get them all!
411
00:53:12.772 --> 00:53:14.524
Run!
412
00:53:14.608 --> 00:53:17.277
Hands off me!
413
00:53:25.869 --> 00:53:29.289
Run, Kameyata!
414
00:53:29.831 --> 00:53:31.207
Quick!
415
00:53:35.795 --> 00:53:37.881
One's getting away!
416
00:54:40.694 --> 00:54:42.028
Don't worry.
417
00:54:42.529 --> 00:54:44.572
I'll make it look like suicide.
418
00:54:54.958 --> 00:54:56.292
What do you want?
419
00:55:00.338 --> 00:55:01.548
Leave him.
420
00:55:19.065 --> 00:55:21.109
Are you Battosai?
421
00:55:23.611 --> 00:55:25.405
This should be fun.
422
00:56:16.206 --> 00:56:20.085
Soji Okita, 1st Unit Captain
of the Shinsengumi.
423
00:56:22.879 --> 00:56:25.173
I can't let you reach the Ikedaya.
424
00:58:50.777 --> 00:58:53.196
Is this Battosai, Okita?
425
00:58:53.279 --> 00:58:54.113
Yes.
426
00:58:55.657 --> 00:58:57.659
He's not so tough as the stories.
427
00:58:59.077 --> 00:59:01.871
The Ikedaya's secure. I'll handle this.
428
00:59:03.915 --> 00:59:05.375
That won't do.
429
00:59:07.961 --> 00:59:09.712
You can't take him now.
430
00:59:27.564 --> 00:59:28.690
Himura, no!
431
00:59:34.028 --> 00:59:37.907
It's all right. Mr. Katsura got away.
432
00:59:39.492 --> 00:59:44.330
The Aizu men are coming.
There's no point in fighting now.
433
00:59:45.999 --> 00:59:47.083
Come on.
434
01:00:00.888 --> 01:00:01.973
Himura!
435
01:00:18.114 --> 01:00:20.241
You're turning tail, Battosai?
436
01:00:28.416 --> 01:00:29.584
Come on, Himura!
437
01:00:34.714 --> 01:00:36.841
That's an order from Mr. Katsura!
438
01:01:00.865 --> 01:01:01.783
Stop.
439
01:01:05.244 --> 01:01:07.622
No matter how outnumbered,
you are no match for him.
440
01:01:49.872 --> 01:01:51.833
Make way!
441
01:01:51.916 --> 01:01:55.461
The Shinsengumi will bring order
to the streets of Kyoto!
442
01:01:56.003 --> 01:01:57.964
Those are our orders!
443
01:02:09.100 --> 01:02:12.311
JULY 19, 1864
444
01:02:12.395 --> 01:02:19.402
KINMON INCIDENT
445
01:02:31.789 --> 01:02:36.753
What could those idiots
have been thinking?
446
01:02:40.131 --> 01:02:41.466
Damn it!
447
01:02:43.009 --> 01:02:44.719
Now what?
448
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:49.640
There are even more shogun's men around
since the Ikedaya.
449
01:02:50.641 --> 01:02:53.728
Our Choshu Restoration Patriots
have been destroyed.
450
01:02:54.896 --> 01:03:00.568
And since they burned the city,
we've been condemned as rebels!
451
01:03:04.572 --> 01:03:05.865
Rebels…
452
01:03:07.200 --> 01:03:08.576
against the Emperor!
453
01:03:10.828 --> 01:03:11.704
Damn it!
454
01:03:12.413 --> 01:03:13.706
It sticks in my throat!
455
01:03:25.468 --> 01:03:26.886
We need to pull out.
456
01:03:28.763 --> 01:03:31.224
The Shinsengumi could come any time.
457
01:03:34.227 --> 01:03:35.770
Mr. Katsura's safe.
458
01:03:37.522 --> 01:03:39.106
That's good enough.
459
01:04:32.243 --> 01:04:33.369
I'm sorry.
460
01:04:47.300 --> 01:04:50.511
I boast about never killing townsfolk…
461
01:04:53.973 --> 01:04:56.142
and now look at me.
462
01:05:00.438 --> 01:05:01.939
Leave, please.
463
01:05:12.241 --> 01:05:13.659
I'll stay with you…
464
01:05:16.120 --> 01:05:18.122
a while longer.
465
01:05:19.665 --> 01:05:26.088
Right now, you need something
to help you restrain your madness.
466
01:05:35.389 --> 01:05:37.391
In answer to your question…
467
01:05:41.812 --> 01:05:46.734
I would never kill you,
even if you had a sword.
468
01:05:52.657 --> 01:05:54.367
No matter what…
469
01:05:58.746 --> 01:06:01.082
I would never kill you.
470
01:06:09.423 --> 01:06:10.716
Not you.
471
01:06:14.595 --> 01:06:15.596
Never.
472
01:06:22.353 --> 01:06:23.396
Shinsengumi!
473
01:06:28.651 --> 01:06:30.152
This way. Hurry!
474
01:06:38.494 --> 01:06:39.328
Quick!
475
01:06:40.037 --> 01:06:41.163
Out the back!
476
01:07:01.100 --> 01:07:02.268
Hurry!
477
01:07:41.140 --> 01:07:45.394
What would the Shogun's
Shinsengumi want with us?
478
01:07:46.312 --> 01:07:48.355
-Search the place!
-Yes, sir!
479
01:07:49.982 --> 01:07:51.317
What do you think you're doing?
480
01:07:52.193 --> 01:07:54.195
Look again!
481
01:09:06.016 --> 01:09:07.351
Mr. Katsura.
482
01:09:13.566 --> 01:09:16.277
I have to make myself scarce.
483
01:09:17.570 --> 01:09:21.031
I can't go to Choshu,
but I'll get caught if I stay here.
484
01:09:25.327 --> 01:09:27.329
Does it all end here?
485
01:09:28.247 --> 01:09:31.500
We wait for our chance.
Now is not the time.
486
01:09:32.334 --> 01:09:33.669
And me?
487
01:09:34.211 --> 01:09:37.047
There's a village outside Kyoto.
488
01:09:38.090 --> 01:09:41.302
Hide there until we start again.
489
01:09:41.385 --> 01:09:45.014
Iizuka or Katagai
will bring you what you need.
490
01:09:48.893 --> 01:09:50.144
All right.
491
01:09:52.605 --> 01:09:53.480
Tomoe…
492
01:09:54.773 --> 01:09:58.527
could you go and stay with Himura?
493
01:10:03.157 --> 01:10:06.327
A woman will make it easier
for you to hide.
494
01:10:07.661 --> 01:10:08.537
You only need…
495
01:10:10.247 --> 01:10:11.790
to pretend.
496
01:10:20.174 --> 01:10:21.550
Look after him.
497
01:10:44.448 --> 01:10:45.741
Well?
498
01:10:48.535 --> 01:10:52.748
I have nowhere else to go.
499
01:10:54.708 --> 01:10:57.002
I'm sure there's somewhere.
500
01:11:09.014 --> 01:11:10.266
I'm sorry.
501
01:11:11.558 --> 01:11:14.728
It's not fair to force
the decision on you.
502
01:11:18.691 --> 01:11:19.984
Live with me.
503
01:11:21.777 --> 01:11:26.407
Being who I am,
I can't say how long it will last.
504
01:11:30.869 --> 01:11:32.913
Not just pretending.
505
01:11:35.624 --> 01:11:36.834
For real.
506
01:11:42.965 --> 01:11:43.966
Yes.
507
01:11:46.427 --> 01:11:48.679
I'll go with you.
508
01:12:30.971 --> 01:12:33.223
Smell that earth!
509
01:13:36.453 --> 01:13:37.371
Thank you.
510
01:13:43.043 --> 01:13:44.837
You got lots.
511
01:15:58.345 --> 01:16:00.681
You're eating with an appetite.
512
01:16:20.576 --> 01:16:22.744
I've realized something here.
513
01:16:29.918 --> 01:16:35.591
I've been fighting to bring
a new age of happiness…
514
01:16:36.592 --> 01:16:39.553
for as many people as possible.
515
01:16:41.263 --> 01:16:44.224
But now I know it was conceit.
516
01:16:50.397 --> 01:16:53.567
What is happiness?
517
01:16:56.236 --> 01:16:58.405
I didn't understand anything about it.
518
01:17:05.454 --> 01:17:11.835
I feel like living here with you
has answered that question for me.
519
01:18:24.950 --> 01:18:29.454
You smile a lot more lately
than you used to.
520
01:18:51.977 --> 01:18:53.061
Hi.
521
01:19:04.740 --> 01:19:05.949
Thanks.
522
01:19:06.908 --> 01:19:11.413
You're coming to look like
a real married couple.
523
01:19:14.458 --> 01:19:16.084
I'll go outside.
524
01:19:21.298 --> 01:19:22.966
Did I say something?
525
01:19:23.592 --> 01:19:26.720
No. Why are you here?
526
01:19:27.304 --> 01:19:28.305
Well.
527
01:19:32.642 --> 01:19:34.227
Things aren't good.
528
01:19:38.106 --> 01:19:41.735
To please the shogunate,
our domain conservatives
529
01:19:41.818 --> 01:19:44.196
are ordering men to commit suicide.
530
01:19:45.280 --> 01:19:48.241
They say there's not a day
that goes by without one.
531
01:19:49.576 --> 01:19:51.161
And Mr. Katsura?
532
01:19:52.579 --> 01:19:56.291
In the domain, they're calling him
"Runaway Kogoro."
533
01:19:57.876 --> 01:19:59.336
Choshu's finished.
534
01:20:00.754 --> 01:20:01.838
You can't mean that.
535
01:20:02.756 --> 01:20:04.508
That's how it is now.
536
01:20:06.551 --> 01:20:09.179
All we can do is wait.
537
01:20:13.642 --> 01:20:15.477
Here's some expense money.
538
01:20:16.812 --> 01:20:17.729
From Mr. Katagai.
539
01:20:18.772 --> 01:20:19.898
And…
540
01:20:20.524 --> 01:20:21.483
I'll leave this.
541
01:20:23.443 --> 01:20:25.654
Sell potions.
542
01:20:26.905 --> 01:20:30.909
No one will suspect you
if you're out doing business.
543
01:20:43.964 --> 01:20:45.423
See you, Tomoe.
544
01:20:47.592 --> 01:20:50.178
Now you're a peddler's wife.
545
01:21:34.097 --> 01:21:38.435
The look in Battosai's eyes has changed
in the past few months.
546
01:21:44.566 --> 01:21:46.026
Now's your chance.
547
01:21:51.281 --> 01:21:56.912
This is quite the armory
your Shadow Warriors have laid in here.
548
01:22:07.380 --> 01:22:09.132
Iizuka, you traitor!
549
01:22:12.385 --> 01:22:16.723
Looks like you were followed.
You're slipping up, Iizuka.
550
01:22:22.854 --> 01:22:25.106
Katagai! He's Katsura's right-hand man!
551
01:22:25.190 --> 01:22:27.901
When they find out he's missing…
552
01:22:28.693 --> 01:22:29.736
In that case…
553
01:22:30.445 --> 01:22:34.532
let's get started on the operation
to eliminate Battosai.
554
01:22:37.327 --> 01:22:40.997
Enishi, you're on.
555
01:23:20.495 --> 01:23:21.788
Enishi?
556
01:23:23.665 --> 01:23:24.708
Enishi!
557
01:23:26.459 --> 01:23:30.755
What a surprise! It's been so long!
558
01:23:34.134 --> 01:23:35.885
You're all grown up!
559
01:23:37.887 --> 01:23:39.723
When did you come from Edo?
560
01:23:41.975 --> 01:23:43.476
Is Father well?
561
01:23:43.977 --> 01:23:45.103
I don't know.
562
01:23:46.855 --> 01:23:49.941
I left for Kyoto right after you did.
563
01:23:53.278 --> 01:23:54.612
What do you mean?
564
01:23:55.947 --> 01:23:57.657
What are you doing?
565
01:23:58.241 --> 01:23:59.617
Helping you.
566
01:24:07.709 --> 01:24:12.797
Enishi, how did you find me here?
567
01:24:13.381 --> 01:24:16.760
Easy. I'm a messenger, after all.
568
01:24:21.264 --> 01:24:22.515
Good news, Tomoe.
569
01:24:24.142 --> 01:24:29.397
It's finally time for heaven
to levy judgment on Battosai.
570
01:24:45.538 --> 01:24:46.581
Enishi!
571
01:24:55.090 --> 01:24:59.260
Welcome home. That was my brother, Enishi.
572
01:25:01.179 --> 01:25:05.809
Oh, you have a brother?
573
01:25:06.392 --> 01:25:09.062
Please excuse his behavior.
574
01:25:12.690 --> 01:25:15.401
Well, I've stolen his big sister.
575
01:25:24.536 --> 01:25:26.037
It's getting cold.
576
01:25:45.473 --> 01:25:50.103
Could I talk to you a little?
577
01:25:56.943 --> 01:25:59.028
My parents' home is in Edo.
578
01:26:01.406 --> 01:26:03.533
We weren't rich…
579
01:26:04.534 --> 01:26:11.332
but my father, my brother, and I
lived peacefully there.
580
01:26:15.879 --> 01:26:21.134
My father is a low-ranked samurai,
good with neither pen nor sword…
581
01:26:23.553 --> 01:26:25.471
but a kind man.
582
01:26:28.141 --> 01:26:34.564
My mother was frail and she died
just after Enishi was born.
583
01:26:40.862 --> 01:26:43.114
He never knew her.
584
01:26:44.866 --> 01:26:50.079
He jumps to conclusions,
and that gets him in trouble…
585
01:26:52.373 --> 01:26:54.125
but he's dear to me.
586
01:27:07.805 --> 01:27:09.140
I was…
587
01:27:11.726 --> 01:27:15.730
engaged to be married.
588
01:27:19.859 --> 01:27:25.865
He was the second son of a family
of the same status as ours.
589
01:27:27.700 --> 01:27:29.577
A childhood friend.
590
01:27:35.333 --> 01:27:39.754
For my sake,
he said he wanted to rise in the world.
591
01:27:42.090 --> 01:27:47.220
He volunteered for the Watch,
and came to Kyoto.
592
01:27:53.768 --> 01:27:55.770
Before the wedding…
593
01:27:58.356 --> 01:28:04.821
in the unrest in Kyoto,
he made the ultimate sacrifice.
594
01:28:25.758 --> 01:28:27.593
If only I'd clung to him in Edo
595
01:28:30.722 --> 01:28:32.515
and stopped him from coming…
596
01:28:38.980 --> 01:28:45.153
If only I'd said I was happy
whether he rose in the world or not…
597
01:28:49.657 --> 01:28:51.951
Why didn't I?
598
01:28:57.540 --> 01:29:01.836
The more I think about it…
599
01:29:27.028 --> 01:29:28.404
That's enough.
600
01:29:32.241 --> 01:29:33.868
No more.
601
01:30:53.739 --> 01:30:55.700
When I first met you…
602
01:30:57.785 --> 01:31:03.374
you said I could make it rain blood.
603
01:31:06.627 --> 01:31:10.464
You asked if someone
could really fight for peace.
604
01:31:12.633 --> 01:31:13.551
Yes.
605
01:31:20.850 --> 01:31:22.560
I'm sure…
606
01:31:24.729 --> 01:31:27.690
I'll end up killing again…
607
01:31:30.318 --> 01:31:32.987
until the new age is here.
608
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:39.827
But when that day comes,
609
01:31:42.997 --> 01:31:45.249
although this may sound foolish…
610
01:31:48.252 --> 01:31:50.379
I'll start looking for a way…
611
01:31:52.423 --> 01:31:54.884
to defend, not kill.
612
01:32:01.891 --> 01:32:06.020
A way to preserve the happiness of all…
613
01:32:09.023 --> 01:32:13.236
to bear the weight of my sins,
and atone for them.
614
01:32:18.783 --> 01:32:19.992
Tomoe…
615
01:32:22.245 --> 01:32:25.122
the happiness you've lost once…
616
01:32:28.084 --> 01:32:30.044
you will never lose again.
617
01:32:38.844 --> 01:32:40.012
Yes.
618
01:35:35.396 --> 01:35:36.605
Mr. Iizuka?
619
01:35:38.774 --> 01:35:40.234
We found our spy.
620
01:35:43.404 --> 01:35:44.405
It's Tomoe.
621
01:35:47.241 --> 01:35:48.284
What?
622
01:35:52.830 --> 01:35:56.709
There's proof. Look in her diary.
623
01:36:05.092 --> 01:36:07.511
If you want revenge…
624
01:36:08.929 --> 01:36:13.893
get close to Battosai and find out
all you can about him.
625
01:36:17.271 --> 01:36:21.484
Find his weak points.
626
01:36:58.771 --> 01:37:01.815
Why drag Enishi into this?
627
01:37:02.942 --> 01:37:05.361
We didn't do that.
628
01:37:06.362 --> 01:37:11.784
He was asking about you in Kyoto.
The shogun's men brought him here.
629
01:37:15.788 --> 01:37:16.997
Where's everyone else?
630
01:37:18.082 --> 01:37:19.583
At their posts.
631
01:37:21.877 --> 01:37:24.046
Without hearing my report?
632
01:37:25.047 --> 01:37:26.298
Report?
633
01:37:31.762 --> 01:37:33.681
On Battosai's weak points?
634
01:37:36.141 --> 01:37:37.726
We don't need that.
635
01:37:41.855 --> 01:37:48.279
It's faster to make one than look for
one that might not even be there.
636
01:37:52.074 --> 01:37:54.910
No matter how cold-blooded,
637
01:37:55.619 --> 01:37:58.455
no man is without feelings.
638
01:38:04.336 --> 01:38:06.755
When he finds out you're a spy…
639
01:38:07.965 --> 01:38:11.010
he'll be too torn up to think straight.
640
01:38:12.052 --> 01:38:15.639
He won't be able to fight at his best.
641
01:38:20.019 --> 01:38:24.857
Was that the plan all along? To use me?
642
01:38:53.052 --> 01:38:55.304
The man who gave you that scar…
643
01:38:56.847 --> 01:39:00.851
Tomoe was supposed to become his wife.
644
01:39:06.565 --> 01:39:08.150
April 5th.
645
01:39:09.151 --> 01:39:14.365
Before our wedding,
Kiyosato made the ultimate sacrifice.
646
01:39:18.369 --> 01:39:20.079
I can't die!
647
01:39:22.081 --> 01:39:24.041
There's someone I love.
648
01:39:24.958 --> 01:39:26.251
I was…
649
01:39:27.044 --> 01:39:31.131
engaged to be married.
650
01:39:34.051 --> 01:39:37.805
He was the second son of a family
of the same status as ours.
651
01:39:39.098 --> 01:39:40.641
A childhood friend.
652
01:39:54.405 --> 01:39:56.073
Rejoice.
653
01:39:58.158 --> 01:40:01.286
You'll have your revenge…
654
01:40:02.204 --> 01:40:03.872
and you'll be free.
655
01:40:14.633 --> 01:40:16.176
You won't kill him!
656
01:40:20.222 --> 01:40:22.808
Your heart's ruling your head!
657
01:40:45.998 --> 01:40:51.253
They're at an old temple in the hills.
Tomoe's probably there too.
658
01:40:53.881 --> 01:40:55.424
Finish her off.
659
01:40:56.717 --> 01:40:57.968
That's an order.
660
01:41:03.974 --> 01:41:06.560
The happiness you've lost once…
661
01:41:07.644 --> 01:41:10.063
you will never lose again.
662
01:41:24.328 --> 01:41:25.454
Listen.
663
01:41:26.121 --> 01:41:31.251
In the end, love and hate
are two sides of the same coin.
664
01:41:33.045 --> 01:41:35.839
And that coin is karma.
665
01:43:42.966 --> 01:43:46.720
My task, if I can't bring you down myself…
666
01:43:46.803 --> 01:43:49.932
is to send you on to our next man.
667
01:43:59.483 --> 01:44:00.359
Now…
668
01:44:03.612 --> 01:44:06.573
all that's left is to die
and become divine.
669
01:44:25.425 --> 01:44:27.803
You're worried about him?
670
01:44:30.389 --> 01:44:34.142
Don't forget how this started.
671
01:44:37.396 --> 01:44:42.859
You must have meant everything
to that guy Kiyosato.
672
01:44:43.527 --> 01:44:47.572
Why else would he come to Kyoto
to join the Watch?
673
01:44:48.699 --> 01:44:54.413
He wanted to make you happy,
even if it meant risking his life.
674
01:44:59.251 --> 01:45:01.461
To make a woman happy,
675
01:45:02.671 --> 01:45:08.260
a man must defend his family, his village,
and the shogunate itself.
676
01:45:09.344 --> 01:45:12.639
Without peace, without the shogun,
677
01:45:14.641 --> 01:45:17.561
there is happiness for no one.
678
01:45:56.391 --> 01:45:57.517
And thus…
679
01:45:57.601 --> 01:46:00.187
no matter how small they are…
680
01:46:00.771 --> 01:46:05.692
any shoots of resistance to the Shogun
must be pulled out by the roots.
681
01:46:05.776 --> 01:46:10.322
That caution is why these shoguns
have brought 300 years of peace!
682
01:46:11.531 --> 01:46:15.452
That we must support,
and that we must preserve!
683
01:46:18.622 --> 01:46:20.540
We must preserve that happiness…
684
01:46:24.336 --> 01:46:26.088
with our lives.
685
01:47:25.814 --> 01:47:27.232
Understand?
686
01:47:28.525 --> 01:47:31.111
That is a warrior's destiny.
687
01:47:33.321 --> 01:47:35.198
We are all…
688
01:47:37.033 --> 01:47:39.327
sinful creatures.
689
01:47:41.037 --> 01:47:43.081
Battosai!
690
01:47:47.377 --> 01:47:49.671
You forgot this!
691
01:47:58.847 --> 01:48:00.348
Sumita…
692
01:48:04.686 --> 01:48:06.479
And Mumyoi?
693
01:48:30.253 --> 01:48:33.798
To defend our world,
and preserve the shogun…
694
01:48:34.841 --> 01:48:36.593
I will stop this man myself.
695
01:48:39.471 --> 01:48:46.228
That is the only way to honor
those who have died for the shogun!
696
01:48:49.439 --> 01:48:50.774
Lie there…
697
01:48:52.609 --> 01:48:54.653
and watch.
698
01:49:43.618 --> 01:49:45.203
Can you hear me, Battosai?
699
01:49:48.415 --> 01:49:51.418
Can you see me?
700
01:50:30.290 --> 01:50:31.750
Well, Battosai?
701
01:50:33.335 --> 01:50:38.882
How does it feel to love a woman
who came only to kill you?
702
01:52:20.066 --> 01:52:22.026
You don't have a chance.
703
01:52:25.780 --> 01:52:27.782
Why keep fighting?
704
01:52:29.701 --> 01:52:30.910
For who?
705
01:52:33.496 --> 01:52:34.789
For what?
706
01:53:22.003 --> 01:53:27.509
Do you want to die bit by bit,
or do you want it all at once?
707
01:53:29.177 --> 01:53:31.596
The choice is yours.
708
01:56:13.508 --> 01:56:15.885
I'm sorry…
709
01:56:18.096 --> 01:56:19.722
my love.
710
01:57:20.575 --> 01:57:22.076
Tomoe…
711
01:58:08.039 --> 01:58:09.791
Katagai's dead.
712
01:58:11.459 --> 01:58:14.378
Iizuka was the spy.
713
01:58:17.298 --> 01:58:19.509
We've sent someone after him.
714
01:58:22.136 --> 01:58:23.513
I see.
715
01:58:24.722 --> 01:58:31.104
The man we've sent is
as good with a sword as you.
716
01:58:32.105 --> 01:58:34.899
He'll do our assassinations from now on.
717
01:58:52.375 --> 01:58:55.002
And as for you, Himura…
718
01:58:56.629 --> 01:59:00.675
It might not be fair to you now,
but I'll need your sword…
719
01:59:01.509 --> 01:59:04.846
even more from now on.
720
01:59:06.430 --> 01:59:11.435
The Shogun's patriot hunt
gets worse every day.
721
01:59:12.186 --> 01:59:17.150
If we don't fight back,
we'll be wiped out.
722
01:59:24.323 --> 01:59:26.450
If I hang up my sword now…
723
01:59:29.745 --> 01:59:33.833
all the lives I've taken so far
will have been a waste.
724
01:59:40.089 --> 01:59:42.425
Until the new age comes…
725
01:59:43.885 --> 01:59:46.012
I will wield my sword.
726
01:59:49.891 --> 01:59:52.518
But the moment it arrives…
727
01:59:53.144 --> 01:59:56.314
You'll throw your sword away?
728
02:00:04.280 --> 02:00:05.740
I don't know.
729
02:00:09.285 --> 02:00:11.787
But I will never kill again.
730
02:00:14.248 --> 02:00:15.625
Not again.
731
02:00:17.251 --> 02:00:18.502
Never.
732
02:00:26.177 --> 02:00:27.511
I see…
733
02:02:32.303 --> 02:02:33.763
April 5th.
734
02:02:35.765 --> 02:02:40.936
Before our wedding,
Kiyosato made the ultimate sacrifice.
735
02:02:43.314 --> 02:02:46.317
I cannot believe he is no longer with us.
736
02:02:47.610 --> 02:02:52.823
The childhood days we spent together
seem like only yesterday.
737
02:02:59.413 --> 02:03:01.248
April 14th.
738
02:03:02.166 --> 02:03:03.834
I have learned the truth.
739
02:03:06.170 --> 02:03:08.756
I do not know what I should do.
740
02:03:10.925 --> 02:03:13.010
Should I just accept that it was fate?
741
02:03:15.721 --> 02:03:17.723
The rain goes on.
742
02:03:20.101 --> 02:03:22.728
I want to avenge Kiyosato.
743
02:03:34.031 --> 02:03:36.951
I wasn't there when he died.
744
02:03:38.786 --> 02:03:40.996
My happiness died with him.
745
02:03:44.291 --> 02:03:46.085
I could not catch and hold…
746
02:03:48.045 --> 02:03:50.172
the happiness I saw before me.
747
02:03:53.175 --> 02:03:54.176
If only…
748
02:03:55.594 --> 02:03:57.721
I had begged him not to go.
749
02:03:59.974 --> 02:04:05.938
I have given myself
to schemes to kill that man.
750
02:04:09.859 --> 02:04:13.195
Otherwise, I would go mad.
751
02:04:16.657 --> 02:04:17.950
And yet you say…
752
02:04:19.827 --> 02:04:20.911
you'd protect…
753
02:04:22.955 --> 02:04:24.874
a woman like me.
754
02:04:38.053 --> 02:04:42.516
I will leave Kyoto, and live with him.
755
02:04:45.644 --> 02:04:47.438
When did he become…
756
02:04:48.314 --> 02:04:51.108
so dear to me?
757
02:04:55.070 --> 02:05:00.701
He is still not used to it,
but he seems to enjoy fieldwork.
758
02:05:03.162 --> 02:05:09.919
I am glad to see that
the lines of his face have softened.
759
02:05:14.965 --> 02:05:16.800
December 26th.
760
02:05:18.427 --> 02:05:19.803
The rain has turned to snow.
761
02:05:22.181 --> 02:05:23.974
I feel that winter is here.
762
02:05:30.898 --> 02:05:35.152
He is the man who robbed me
of my happiness…
763
02:05:36.904 --> 02:05:39.198
whom I hated enough to kill.
764
02:05:42.117 --> 02:05:47.873
But the way things are going,
I will fall truly in love with him.
765
02:05:56.590 --> 02:06:00.678
He will kill again.
766
02:06:01.845 --> 02:06:04.974
But after all his killing is done…
767
02:06:06.267 --> 02:06:11.021
I am sure he will preserve
many more than he has killed.
768
02:06:12.898 --> 02:06:14.733
I must not let him die now.
769
02:06:18.696 --> 02:06:20.030
I will preserve him…
770
02:06:22.616 --> 02:06:24.243
though it means my life.
771
02:06:30.874 --> 02:06:31.834
Goodbye…
772
02:06:34.962 --> 02:06:36.297
to the second man…
773
02:06:38.382 --> 02:06:39.717
I loved.
774
02:07:34.688 --> 02:07:36.023
Well…
775
02:07:38.067 --> 02:07:41.570
I'll be on my way, Tomoe.

THE BATTLE OF TOBA-FUSHIMI
JANUARY 1868, KYOTO
777
02:09:29.595 --> 02:09:31.764
Saito! The shogunate dog!
778
02:09:32.264 --> 02:09:33.223
Ready!
779
02:10:04.838 --> 02:10:06.632
We've won!
780
02:10:07.132 --> 02:10:09.384
It's the Emperor's banner!
781
02:10:13.972 --> 02:10:15.140
Victory!
782
02:10:21.939 --> 02:10:23.148
So it has come, hasn't it?
783
02:10:25.025 --> 02:10:26.693
The new age…
784
02:10:33.367 --> 02:10:34.368
At last.
785
02:10:40.749 --> 02:10:41.959
Battosai!
786
02:10:54.888 --> 02:10:56.515
It doesn't end here.
787
02:11:38.682 --> 02:11:40.350
Some 160 years ago,
788
02:11:40.434 --> 02:11:45.022
the black foreign ships
led to the shogun's fall.
789
02:11:45.105 --> 02:11:51.695
Out of the resulting maelstrom
came a warrior, Battosai the Killer.
790
02:11:51.778 --> 02:11:58.577
When calm was restored, he vanished…
791
02:11:58.660 --> 02:12:05.667
and became a lone wanderer.
792
02:12:11.173 --> 02:12:17.638
It would be ten years
before he appeared again.
793
02:16:26.178 --> 02:16:31.808
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED
