REVENGE

South of Kyoto, in front of Takeda road,

there was a bridge, called Sanitary.

To cross it, it required payment.

Therefore, this bridge was paid for.

On an autumn night in 1867

As a payment, a person's life was taken.

This was the end of the conspiracy against life of Kondo Isami,

and the beginning of betrayal in Shinsengumi.

A MONTH EARLIER...

What if someone sees you?

I just want to see his face.

Someone from Shinsengumi made friends with Satsuma.

Traitor!

Just look!

Hold.

NAKAMURA OF GANGURO

What's the matter?

Stray dog.

Dog The Shinsengumi!

THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SHINSENGUMI

Who was killed?

Komano Senzo from 5 party.

Near Acaponeta in Kiyomizu.

Komano?

The second-in-command!

This is a disgrace for the entire 5 squad!

TAKEDA KANRYUSAI This is a disgrace for the entire 5 squad!

This is a disgrace for the entire 5 squad!

We're going to investigate!

Sorry!

Komano was a novice,

but he was a good swordsman.

Better than captain Takeda.

How was he killed?

He got hit in the face,

Before I could take out my katana.

Die instantly.

This is Jigen-ryu, Satsuma style.

I agree.

Someone from the Satsuma clan was in Akrobata,

If komano was there on duty, it's good.

Understood.

Satsuma and Aizu joined the Alliance, to protect the Emperor.

They are not enemies. At least not explicit.

But who knows what they're thinking?

In any case, we need to find the reason.

Do it, Yamazaki-San, find out everything you can.

Did you see the Satsuma samurai last night?

We always have samurai here.

I can't tell them apart.

Are You Ohana?

Yes.

I heard komano came to see you.

I...

Don't hide anything.

I've known him for about a year.

Did he come here last night?

He always comes alone.

You don't accept clients do you without a recommendation?

Who brought you together?

Takeda, a Shinsengumi samurai.

Takeda?

Takeda was my client for a long time.

But last night, Kamano was alone.

Really?

Yes.

Any problems with Satsuma samurai?

No!

Do you know anything?

No.

Wait!

The samurai from Satsuma was, by name Nakamura Of Ganguro.

Nakamura Of Ganguro?

He was Dating someone from the Shinsengumi.

From The Shinsengumi!

With whom?

I don't know...

On his clothes was a coat of arms with yorimoto. (flower of the Japanese quince)

Komano wanted to take a closer look at it.

Please avenge him.

You ask why Comano was one?

I don't know.

So he went out without permission?

I said I don't know.

You are responsible for it as a commander.

I'm not his nanny!

I know you brought him in Acaponeta.

Takeda-San, tell me...

I took him there when he was just come to us.

He left with a woman.

No more!

They require a recommendation...

Takeda-San.

Who introduced you?

I don't remember.

Friends of my friends.

You have a lot of acquaintances.

Was that you with Nakamura, Ganguro from Satsuma?

No, of course not!

You speak as if you suspect me!

Enough of this foolishness!

I'm very busy!

I have a class on military strategy!

The commander of the Condo totally trusts me!

I'm leaving.

What is happening in this world??

Takeda Kerusi...

He was an old associate.

With his knowledge of battle tactics,

he has become our military instructor.

His methods, taken from past centuries,

and his arrogance didn't make him popular.

Takeda is one of those who goes with the flow,

and waiting for good weather.

He could "swim" to Satsuma's camp.

But last night

he wasn't with Nakamura Hanjuro.

The man was wearing clothes with the arms of yorimoto.

Isn't that the ito coat of arms?

Ito met with the Satsuma, and we know it.

There's nothing to hide.

He had no reason to kill Kamano.

We won't know until we investigate.

I'll leave it to you, Toshi.

I'll go to Satsuma's house and ask directly.

I wouldn't.

Nakamura Hanjuro is their commander in Kyoto.

They won't tell the truth.

Also, it will force them to prick up.

Satsuma has something to hide...

I want to understand their true intentions.

Shinsengumi had a lot of interest to the activities of the Satsuma clan.

MANSION OF THE SATSUMA CLAN Shinsengumi had a lot of interest to the activities of the Satsuma clan.

Shinsengumi had a lot of interest to the activities of the Satsuma clan.

Say the clan has nothing to do with it common?

Completely.

I enjoyed drinks with a friend,

when there was a commotion in the yard.

My men searched the yard and found no one.

I said I had nothing to hide.

That's all I know.

So what?

My people have nothing to do with it, I'm sure.

But if they killed someone from the Shinsengumi,

You can kill them on the spot.

My clan won't mind.

You have no intention of resisting The Shinsengumi...

And you remain loyal servants of the Shogunate.

Right?

Completely.

I'm glad to hear that.

Your response is encouraging.

Our guest is leaving us.

Show him out!

Be so close...

Your fault for killing one of them The Shinsengumi.

Leave the mansion,

and lay low for a while.

Our plan doesn't change?

Of course not! I want to destroy The Shinsengumi!

My plan is to destroy them from the inside.

Don't do anything on your own discretion.

Kill him now?

Nakamura won't like it.

Are you Kondo-San from Shinsengumi?

Yes.

Do you have business with me?"

You killed my husband! Die!

Who was your husband?

Matsuda Ryusuke, ronin from Higo.

I'm ritsu, his wife.

Look at me!

Matsuda Ryusuke?

June 5, 1864...

You killed him in Ikedaya!

Wait!

Condo!

Wait!

Let me go!

What happened?

She's looking for revenge.

To me.

What did you do?

I killed a lot of ronins.

She is the wife of a man named Matsuda.

Funny. You were only doing your duty.

He resisted, you killed him.

She's wrong. We'll turn it over to the police.

Her courage is admirable. Leave her.

Someone from the castle will find it.

Why are you here?

Hijikata-San was worried. Sent us to get you.

I didn't expect to see this.

Don't tell Toshi. He will worry.

In the castle Jufukuji the Satsuma clan he kept the blood of his own kind,

as if for protection, and the castle itself, and the mansion.

CASTLE JUFUKUJI as if for protection, and the castle itself, and the mansion.

CASTLE JUFUKUJI

How do you feel?

Thanks for the help.

The pain is gone, and I must go.

I'm grateful for everything.

You want to get back at the Condo by IP?

We saw it...

We would like to help...

Please, stay a little longer.

This is my business.

I don't need your help.

We share your concern the late husband about the future of the country.

Shinsengumi and our enemies.

We would be happy to help.

The future of the country is not my business.

I do this because I loved my husband.

I have to do it myself...

Without anyone's help.

Forward March!

This... the army of the shogun in the French style?

They look like a bunch of scavengers!

In position!

On your knee!

Goal!

Fire!

Impressive!

Very impressive. Western tactics effective.

Takeda-San's old tactics are no good comparison does not go.

Armor, helmet... swords though there will be whole ones.

I heard Hijikata-San wants to take the French tack.

Shinsengumi fighting in the Western manner...

Bitter pill...

Our business is to exhibit arrogant foreigners,

but their tactics and strategies are different.

I feel for you, Takeda-Sensei.

Ito-Sensei, do you have any friends in the Satsuma clan.

We're talking about the future of the country, that's all.

I would like you to they introduced me there.

ASAP.

I'm under suspicion of killing Comano.

I can't go to them myself...

Please!

Former vassal of the Matsudaira family,

Takeda Kerusi,

the instructor for the Shinsengumi military tactics.

Military strategist, captain of the 5th group.

Your achievements are impressive!

What do you want from simple ronins?

I wanted to meet with the leadership of the Satsuma clan.

We are not related to the Satsuma clan.

You don't have to hide it!

I have always revered the Emperor,

and I understand what's wrong with Shinsengumi I'm not on my way.

I want to join you.

One of my men was killed,

and I'm a suspect in his murder

Allegedly for the purpose of hiding my connection to you.

With this suspicion I have no place to the Shinsengumi!

I could help you...

Mining information inside the Shinsengumi.

If I get declassified, I will seek refuge with you.

I hope you will protect me.

Will you betray the Shinsengumi?

I've been thinking about this for a long time...

Who sent you here?

Ito Kashitaro.

He said to come here for connections with Satsuma.

I need to know if you're sincere.

What if I give you a job to do?

Whatever you want!

I want you to deliver the letter Kondo Isami...

...secretly...

A letter? Secretly?

Met ronin in Jufukuji.

When was this?

After the conversation with ito, the second half of the day.

We finally found a connection to ito...

But it doesn't do much. Regardless of the Takeda.

I wanted to link ito to Satsuma.

The coat of arms of yorimoto belongs with ito-San.

Forget about Takeda.

Keep an eye on ito.

He has loyal subordinates.

He will try to split our ranks.

Everything he does will shake the Shinsengumi.

Ichiki-San!

News, Oritsu!

Kondo goes out.

The formal call will be delivered today.

Tomorrow at 6 am, Tadasu no Mori, in shimogamo Shrine.

Wait a minute...

Did you challenge him?

Yes.

We are sure that the letter has been delivered.

He will come alone.

Everything is in your hands!

Thank you very much for everything!

I risk being rude...

Like I said. it's just my business, so...

There should be no help.

And assistants...

Me?

A female samurai passed for you.

A female samurai?

Thanks.

Soji, have you seen Kondo-San?

No.

Kotetsu is also missing.

Weird...

Where could he have gone?

This is the woman!

A woman?

A woman sent him a call out of revenge!

Thank you for coming.

Prepare.

Wait.

Your husband died doing his duty.

I killed him doing my job.

There can be no enmity between us.

Try to understand.

I lived for my husband. And die for him.

Where is your sword?

Fight!

Listen!

I won't listen!

Kill me!

You didn't help at all!

You came for the Condo.

You tricked me!

Take it!

Wait! Don't disgrace yourself!

What...

Die!

Kondo-San!

Jugen-ryu. They're from Satsuma

Ritsu-Dono!

How did you get into this cheese-boron!

It's your fault, too...

Why did you send to Takeda in Jufukuji?

He was afraid. He is suspected of murder.

He wanted to leave Shinsengumi.

He asked for help getting in touch with the Satsuma clan,

So I told him to come here.

Why did your people attack Kondo?

They went to the roof.

When Kondo-San finds out that Takeda cheated...

You and your people are not to be envied.

What is going to do?

I'll take care of Takeda.

I want to question the bastard.

If he set a trap for you...

Smite.

People commit treason,

Because they have a penchant for it?

It would be easier to find out for sure...

Takeda Kerusi, for example...

Or Ito Kashitaro...

Are you sure ito is an intermediary?

I'm going to find out.

Expose him.

You should have ignored it a letter from a woman.

This is a police matter.

Your life doesn't belong to you alone.

The fate of the Shinsengumi depends on you.

You must understand.

I felt sorry for her...

I don't think she had the right.

To take revenge on you.

Where did you leave it?

In my house. The otaku with her.

What ?

It's dangerous...

She will think that Otaka is yours woman,

and he might try to kill her.

How can you be so blind?

It's clear to anyone that Otaka-San loves you.

Wait, Kondo-San.

About Takeda...

If he broke the code, I will kill him.

Okay?

What if I find out that ito betrayed me?

I'll decide.

She's fine. She needs in leisure

Thanks.

It is sometimes difficult for a man to understand woman...

The wound will heal, everything will be forgotten.

Relax.

Are you Kondo-San's wife?

No, I'm watching the house.

Shinohara is here.

Takeda will be questioned.

I asked to be a witness in the case,

I will be there from the management team.

There may be trouble...

Hijikata will ask dangerous questions.

We will survive this storm.

Can we?

No matter how you look at it...

We should force Takeda to shut up.

It's about to start.

Oritsu-San wants to leave.

Leave?

How are you feeling?

The wound is not deep.

It will be unpleasant for a while.

You need to lie down.

I'll find another place.

It's too painful to stay here.

I attacked you twice.

And twice you saved me.

You treated my wounds...

They gave me clothes.

This is more than I can bear!

I even thought about killing Otaka-San, to hurt you.

But then I realized...

I can't do this to another woman what I experienced myself!

I can't stay!

You loved your husband very much.

That's all right...

I want you to stay.

Yes, Kondo-San?

I don't remember Matsuda Ryusuke...

I killed a lot of people that day...

But I know one thing.

I killed all those who rendered resisting arrest.

This is my job.

I want to help you...

But I will remain your enemy.

You won't forgive me.

Do what you want.

Otaka-San...

Life is cruel...

Why is the world so cruel?

I heard we're going to move French tactics.

From my training will not be no benefits.

After everything I've done...

This is unbearable.

I want to retire.

And go straight to Satsuma?

I will support my ideals as independent samurai.

If you are a samurai, why make excuses?

Last night,

You came to Jofukoji below to see Satsuma.

I saw you.

I went to discuss the future of the nation.

I didn't do anything embarrassing.

You wrote a letter to Kondo-San,

allegedly from a woman.

You were part of a conspiracy against the commander of the Condo?

Baseless suspicions.

She asked me to send a letter.

Who told you about Jufukuji?

I can figure out what it is and who it is...

Who referred you to Jufukuji?

Enough!

This will lead to nothing.

Why didn't you arrest Takeda?

This is bad for discipline.

It might be better this way...

Let him go?

Should we accompany you?

No...

Great idea!

Shinohara-San, you will be his guide.

No, let me.

No. You must submit a report.

I'll send someone else.

You are accountable to ito...

I expect your protection.

If not, I'll tell you what ito was

the one who gave me the turnout in Jufukuji.

I will accompany you.

Let's go.

MAKOTO (The character for "Faithful", the symbol of the Shinsengumi)

We reached the bridge Teritory.

Takeda road goes over the bridge.

In the North, Satsuma's mansion.

Saito-kun...

You'll kill me if I tell you, that I was going North...

I won't fall for it.

I'm going through Takeda to Osaka.

And then?

To a house in Izumo

So I got caught.

What ?

Rule 2. Desertion is prohibited.

You bastard!

It was...

Takeda Kerusi... The sentence is fulfilled.

An attempt on you..

It is proved that there was collusion Satsuma and ito.

We know now that Satsuma is our enemy,

enemies of the Aizu clan,

and enemies of the Shogunate.

This can result in an ugly,

brutal war.

Toshi...

I want to fight with honor.

Kondo-San, your hopes were in vain.

Satsuma, with Choshu and others, change history.

KILLED BY SAKAMOTO RYOMA

That's enough... come on...

This can't be happening...

There will be a war, Kondo-San.

A war where no one will know, who is the enemy, who is the friend.

The Shinsengumi will follow the path of the samurai, and fight with honor. As the samurai...

Toshi...

Right on the front line.

The storm was beginning...

The storm was passing right over the Shinsengumi.
