don't we? Hey!
373
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,885
Hey! Kamo!
374
00:32:49,926 --> 00:32:53,138
The place I'm meant to fall...
375
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:56,391
My place to fall...!
376
00:32:58,059 --> 00:33:00,103
Hey, not yet!
377
00:33:03,732 --> 00:33:05,442
Not yet! Kamo!
378
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,906
Hey, not yet!
379
00:33:10,947 --> 00:33:12,491
Hey, don't go!
380
00:33:12,574 --> 00:33:15,744
You're supposed to fight me,
damn it! Kamo!
381
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:19,122
[sniffles]
What the hell are you doing
going on ahead like that?
382
00:33:19,206 --> 00:33:23,293
Get up! Get the hell up,
you bastard!
383
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,132
[sobbing]
384
00:33:46,483 --> 00:33:50,403
[♪♪♪]
385
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:07,963
[playing shamisen]
386
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:11,174
[singing along]
387
00:34:54,175 --> 00:34:57,012
[Ichikawa]
So that's how
Serizawa Kamo died?
388
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:58,430
[Nagakura]
Yes.
389
00:35:01,057 --> 00:35:03,143
That's different
from the story I've heard.
390
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:06,813
They say he was assassinated
at the Yagi estate, right?
391
00:35:10,025 --> 00:35:12,527
That was no assassination.
392
00:35:12,569 --> 00:35:16,156
It was a true, honest-to-god
battle against a demon.
393
00:35:17,657 --> 00:35:19,326
Sure, to history,
394
00:35:19,409 --> 00:35:23,246
he was the Shinsengumi's
most infamous tyrant.
395
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:27,542
But the man I knew
never showed a hint
396
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:31,171
of that grim cruelty
in Serizawa Kamo.
397
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:38,595
But that battle...
it changed Toshi.
398
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:39,846
What?
399
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:52,525
MARCH 1864
400
00:36:42,951 --> 00:36:47,956
[narrator]
Six months after the death
of Head Commander Serizawa Kamo
401
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,959
the Shinsengumi was reorganized
402
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,003
under the command
of Kondo Isami.
403
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,214
[Yamanami] There it is.
404
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,214
[recruit] Yes.
405
00:36:56,297 --> 00:36:59,300
Here you go. Next!
406
00:37:00,677 --> 00:37:04,347
[Nagakura]
Wow... quite a crowd
we've got here.
407
00:37:04,431 --> 00:37:06,057
[Shimada]
You can say that again.
408
00:37:06,141 --> 00:37:07,308
Damn it,
you bastard...
409
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,644
They seem
capable enough, but...
410
00:37:09,728 --> 00:37:12,814
they all look
like a real piece of work.
411
00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:15,567
Yes, sir. They're all
hand-picked for their skill.
412
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:18,403
[Nagakura]
By the Vice-Commander's orders
413
00:37:18,486 --> 00:37:20,989
all that matters here
is sword skill.
414
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,323
You want a fight, damn it?
415
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:24,325
[Nagakura]
Let's just hope we can keep
416
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:26,494
this motley crew under control.
417
00:37:26,536 --> 00:37:28,163
[narrator]
Around this time,
418
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:31,666
over 100 new members
joined the corps.
419
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:34,419
They were organized
into ten squads,
420
00:37:34,502 --> 00:37:36,671
from the First to the Tenth.
421
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:40,508
[fierce yelling]
422
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,181
Hey, hey, hey!
423
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:48,224
What are you doing?
424
00:37:48,308 --> 00:37:50,226
That's not the spot.
425
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:54,397
To really hurt your opponent...
426
00:37:54,481 --> 00:37:58,485
you hit 'em here!
Here. Here. Here!
427
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,528
[all] Oh...
428
00:38:00,570 --> 00:38:03,364
See? You can't even
figure that out?
429
00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:06,201
As expected of the Captain!
Absolutely ruthless.
430
00:38:06,242 --> 00:38:08,161
Do it.
431
00:38:06,242 --> 00:38:08,161
Yes, sir!
432
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:09,996
The family jewels!
Go for the jewels!
433
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:11,498
Yes, sir!
434
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:14,793
[Saito]
Come on, put more into it!
435
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:16,586
[laughs]
436
00:38:17,545 --> 00:38:19,172
Come on, strike it, strike it!
437
00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:21,549
THIRD CORPS CAPTAIN SAITO HAJIME
438
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:25,428
[leader] 82!
439
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:25,428
[all] 82!
440
00:38:25,512 --> 00:38:28,723
[leader] 83!
441
00:38:25,512 --> 00:38:28,723
[all] 83!
442
00:38:28,765 --> 00:38:32,310
[Nagakura]
Listen up! Don't you forget it!
443
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:35,104
No talent is greater
than raw strength and hard work.
444
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:37,398
Relentless training
will overcome
445
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,026
any and all natural talent!
446
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:42,237
[all] Yes, sir!
447
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:42,237
Alright! Let's go!
448
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,571
Yeah!
449
00:38:43,655 --> 00:38:45,114
SECOND CORPS CAPTAIN,
NAGAKURA SHINPACHI
450
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:47,367
84!
451
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:47,367
[all] 84!
452
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:49,577
[indistinct shouting]
453
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:52,539
[Todo]
Hey! Put your backs into it!
454
00:38:52,622 --> 00:38:56,042
The key to close-quarters combat
is a hard head.
455
00:38:56,084 --> 00:38:59,921
No matter who you're up against,
lock blades with them
456
00:38:59,963 --> 00:39:02,757
and smash their damn head open!
457
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:06,719
Get fired up! Get fired up!
458
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:09,472
EIGHTH CORPS CAPTAIN,
TODO HEISUKE
459
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:12,392
Hey, hey!
460
00:39:12,475 --> 00:39:14,602
Haven't we been
marching forever? Whoa!
461
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,813
Well, I can't say anything.
462
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:20,108
This silent pressure
is too scary. Whoa!
463
00:39:20,149 --> 00:39:22,360
[whimpering]
464
00:39:23,236 --> 00:39:24,696
What? What is it?
465
00:39:27,615 --> 00:39:31,494
SIXTH CORPS CAPTAIN,
INOUE GENZABURO
466
00:39:38,459 --> 00:39:41,713
How come we always get stuck
on meal duty?
467
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:47,010
"Laugh at food now, you'll
regret it," or so they say.
468
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:59,147
TENTH CORPS CAPTAIN,
HARADA SANOSUKE
469
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,441
[indistinct chatter]
470
00:40:01,524 --> 00:40:03,776
[exclaiming]
471
00:40:05,737 --> 00:40:09,741
The first corps is full
of a bunch of ugly mugs.
472
00:40:13,536 --> 00:40:14,704
FIRST CORPS CAPTAIN, OKITA SOJI
473
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:16,998
[Nagakura] Hey, Soji.
474
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:16,998
Good morning.
475
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,000
[men exclaiming]
476
00:40:20,543 --> 00:40:22,378
Good morning, everyone.
477
00:40:22,462 --> 00:40:25,340
Good morning!
478
00:40:22,462 --> 00:40:25,340
Good morning!
479
00:40:25,381 --> 00:40:26,674
How are you today?
480
00:40:26,716 --> 00:40:28,343
Let me give you a massage!
481
00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:30,929
Someone! Bring some tea!
482
00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:30,929
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
483
00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:33,848
Oh, sorry.
484
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:35,516
Huh?
485
00:40:35,558 --> 00:40:37,602
[Shimada]
I heard they choked out Okita
on day one,
486
00:40:37,685 --> 00:40:40,104
and were all taken out
in a split second.
487
00:40:40,188 --> 00:40:42,857
[Todo]
Ouch. Sucks to be them.
488
00:40:44,484 --> 00:40:47,320
What'd you just say,
you son of a bitch?
489
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:48,738
I'm only gonna say this once!
490
00:40:48,821 --> 00:40:51,616
Our Captain Harada
is the strongest, you hear me?
491
00:40:51,699 --> 00:40:54,369
As if that bottomless pit
can beat Captain Saito!
492
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:56,329
Are you really that stupid?
493
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:56,329
Hey, say that again!
494
00:40:56,371 --> 00:40:57,622
The tenth corps is the
strongest! Bring it on!
495
00:40:57,705 --> 00:40:58,706
Fighting over
such pointless crap.
496
00:40:58,790 --> 00:40:59,916
The third corps
is the strongest!
497
00:40:59,999 --> 00:41:01,209
Bring it on!
498
00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:02,585
Hey. Shouldn't we
break this up soon?
499
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:04,671
Kai.
500
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:04,671
I dare you! Let's settle this!
501
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,172
Yeah, you piece of shit!
Let's settle it!
502
00:41:06,214 --> 00:41:09,133
Hey! Vice-Commander is coming!
503
00:41:06,214 --> 00:41:09,133
It's the Vice-Commander!
504
00:41:17,767 --> 00:41:19,769
You're fired up, huh?
505
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:26,109
Keep it up.
506
00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:43,126
[Okita]
He'd have knocked sense
into them,
507
00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:44,961
yelling that he's the strongest.
508
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:47,797
[Nagakura]
Yes...
509
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,804
What's gotten
into you, Toshi?
510
00:41:57,974 --> 00:41:59,642
[sighs]
511
00:42:04,647 --> 00:42:06,816
[Harada]
Yes... This is good.
512
00:42:08,735 --> 00:42:10,486
Then I'm taking this one too!
513
00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:14,073
Hajime! Heisuke,
you two calm down!
514
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:19,162
[Kondo]
Man, it's been a while
515
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:23,291
since it's been just us.
516
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:30,131
It's great that
we've got more men, but...
517
00:42:30,173 --> 00:42:32,967
I'm drowning in useless rookies
and it's a real headache.
518
00:42:33,009 --> 00:42:34,010
Really?
519
00:42:33,009 --> 00:42:34,010
Yeah.
520
00:42:34,093 --> 00:42:36,637
The men in my unit
are all reliable.
521
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:37,805
You can't be serious.
522
00:42:37,889 --> 00:42:39,682
[Okita]
We've got a former yakuza boss,
523
00:42:39,766 --> 00:42:41,601
a guy who used to be a pirate...
524
00:42:41,684 --> 00:42:43,144
And a guy called "the Cannibal."
525
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:44,979
[Todo]
"The Cannibal"?
What's that about?
526
00:42:45,021 --> 00:42:46,773
[Okita] Who knows.
527
00:42:45,021 --> 00:42:46,773
[Todo laughs]
528
00:42:46,856 --> 00:42:49,358
That's enough
about the new recruits.
529
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,904
So, Yamanami.
530
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:58,034
You gathered us all
for a reason, right?
531
00:42:58,117 --> 00:42:59,202
Yes...
532
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:04,123
[sighs]
533
00:43:08,211 --> 00:43:09,378
The Choshu clan...
534
00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:12,632
are making their move again.
535
00:43:13,508 --> 00:43:14,675
[Todo]
The Choshu...
536
00:43:14,759 --> 00:43:16,677
Is it Kusaka Genzui?
537
00:43:17,512 --> 00:43:19,305
Yes.
538
00:43:19,388 --> 00:43:21,182
According to Yamazaki,
539
00:43:21,224 --> 00:43:24,811
it's not just Kusaka
pulling the Choshu's strings.
540
00:43:24,894 --> 00:43:27,230
He says there's someone else
involved as well.
541
00:43:28,189 --> 00:43:31,025
Someone else? Who is it?
542
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:32,735
[sighs]
543
00:43:34,904 --> 00:43:37,865
Hijikata, I wasn't
finished speaking.
544
00:43:37,949 --> 00:43:41,035
I'm going on patrol
to sober up.
545
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:42,829
Carry on without me.
546
00:43:44,122 --> 00:43:45,832
Hijikata!
547
00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:47,125
[sighs]
548
00:43:48,042 --> 00:43:50,878
What on earth is he thinking?
549
00:43:52,213 --> 00:43:56,008
