Binds Love and Hate 75 00:07:36,808 --> 00:07:39,038 Over twenty years have flown by... 76 00:07:39,144 --> 00:07:44,411 ...since the new era of Meiji ended three centuries of peaceful Tokugawa rule. 77 00:07:44,516 --> 00:07:45,847 The European ideas of social progress... 78 00:07:45,951 --> 00:07:51,150 ...that once greatly unsettled the people are becoming widely accepted. 79 00:07:51,256 --> 00:07:53,952 Still, provincial disputes continue unabated... 80 00:07:54,059 --> 00:07:57,688 ...as do unfair practices by mercenary plutocrats and shady businessmen... 81 00:07:57,796 --> 00:08:01,232 ...and actions taken by corrupt officials seeking only to benefit themselves. 82 00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:06,396 And, self-indulgent, rich men and women only grew in number... 83 00:08:06,505 --> 00:08:07,972 ...while the pleas of poor peasants... 84 00:08:08,073 --> 00:08:12,476 ...who could barely make ends meet, remained unanswered. 85 00:08:14,579 --> 00:08:19,676 And at

seemingly gentle and pure heart... 88 00:08:38,503 --> 00:08:41,734 ...burned a raging desire to hunt down her enemies. 89 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,335 People say... that what cleanses this world of decay is not pure white snow... 90 00:08:47,445 --> 00:08:51,643 ...but snow that is stained fiery-red: "The snow of the netherworlds." 91 00:09:05,297 --> 00:09:08,027 Damn it... 92 00:09:09,701 -->
