Original subtitles

I want you to go to Edo.

Edo?

We have a chance to finally destroy Choshu.

The Shogunate will raise all the troops, and the evil deeds of Choshu will be put to an end.

But before that, the shogun will arrive in Kyoto.

What should I do?

You must negotiate with the Council of elders.

I could go myself, but I have to wait for the shogun.

I don't know if I can do it...

Rumors about the Ikeda-ya incident have already reached Edo, turning you and Shinsengumi into heroes.

("Oni-fukute" - "demonic commander-in-chief", one of the nicknames Of Hijikata Toshizo) I want the demonic Vice commander to support me in Kyoto.

I'm going back to Aiza.

You?

Fire me.

I would have liked to continue serving in Kyoto, but I exceeded my authority.

If you return to Aizu, will we be left without support?

I don't think you'll have any problems.

The Shinsengumi are recognized by both the Aizu clan and the Satsuma clan.

Do what you think is reasonable.

And, Kondo-San, don't leave Kyoto unattended.

Dorama " Shinsengumi"

Episode 31 Return to Edo

Subtitles by Graft

Wonderful. Heiske is now in Edo.

I think we Haske make recruitment of new Shinsengumi.

Commander, have you chosen your escorts?

I'll be one of them, of course.

Why would that be?

I'd like to go. I haven't been home in a long time.

Please take me with you.

Nagakura-kun, please come with me.

Nagakura is under arrest.

Nagakura-San, what do you think?

I follow the commander's orders.

So it's settled.

You were wise to choose Nagakura.

It's better that he and Hijikata stay away from each other.

Fire!

Quarters Of Satsuma, Kyoto

The people of Satsuma train a lot.

What do you want to achieve?

I'm going to unite the people who serve the shogun.

With Katsu-Sensei at the head, we will gather samurai from different clans.

Satsuma, Aizu, Choshu, Tosa...

Together, we will support the Shogunate and build a strong state.

You make dizzying plans.

This seems impossible to me...

But Katsu-Sensei will be able to achieve this goal.

The unfortunate Choshu clan needs Katsura-San's support.

I, Kichinosuke Oshima, a samurai of Satsuma in the service of the government.

My job is to trample Choshu to the ground.

You can't be so stupid.

Excuse me.

I won't let it go.

I'll be back.

We will crush the Shinsengumi.

We must avenge our comrades who fell at Ikeda-ya and at the Palace gates.

Should we set fire to their barracks?

Well, well, how can you be such idiots?

The punitive expedition against Choshu will begin any day now. What is now the Shinsengumi to take revenge?

Hey, you, shut up!

Katsura-Sensei thinks so, too.

When the Shogunate forces move into Choshu, they are finished.

Where's Katsura-Sensei?

We need to see him.

No way. I can't tell you where it is.

Think of me as his mouth.

Damn it! Why would Katsura-Sensei need this idiot?

Did you say something?

Sorry to interrupt...

The Shinsengumi just entered.

We've come to see this place!

Run!

Move!

I'll kill myself!

Welcome, Hijikata-Sensei. And Okita is here.

September 9, 1864

Edo

We haven't seen each other in so long!

Welcome back.

Here I am at home.

You look great.

Are you getting a little fat?

You must be eating well.

Dad, how are you feeling?

I got a little sick.

Heisuke-San, you seem to have lost weight.

Seriously?

Nagakura-San, you are as stony-faced as ever.

After all, I probably haven't changed much.

I've heard a lot about you.

The Shinsengumi...

You guys have achieved a lot.

You defeated the conspirators in Ikeda-ya and repulsed the rebel attack on the Imperial Palace.

And you, Heiske... were you hurt?

Have you heard about this?

Before we too heard the news.

Kondo and Shinsengumi became widely known in Edo.

Kondo-Sensei, you are the pride of Tama!

But after he left, you predicted that it would be difficult for him.

Did you bring a couple of Souvenirs from Kyoto?

We're back on official business.

Hell, I was hoping for a couple of presents.

How's dad?

He fell and hurt himself badly last fall, and it's hard for him to walk after that. He rarely goes out.

But he looked good today.

He hasn't spoken to you in a while.

Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks.

And what is Soji's he doing?

He achieved a lot.

Now he is a true master of the sword.

You didn't come on a mission, I hope?"

Just the opposite.

I must speak to the Council of elders and ask them to support any initiative of the shogun.

And then I need to recruit new people in Shinsengumi.

I have a lot to do.

This is your dad.

Tama...

Kondo Tama

She looks like daddy!

You think?

She's sleeping with her fist in her mouth!

The Matsumae Clan, Edo

You remember... as we came into the dojo Kobusho, and Matsudaira Cioranescu drove us?

I'll never forget it.

Now we will meet with the Council of elders.

Life is full of surprises.

I can't wait for them to come out.

Kondo, raise your head.

I read your petition.

Let me state its main points.

Some government officials believe that we should join the punitive campaign against Choshu.

We'll deal with Choshu first, and then with foreign interventionists.

Our first task is to unite the country.

I understand you, but...

The shogun himself would soon arrive in Kyoto and lead the troops to Choshu.

Why did the shogun decide to lead the army?

And he had been in Kyoto not so long ago.

The shogun was in Kyoto in may.

We want him to stay in Kyoto this time and hit the foreigners together with the Emperor.

Just between us, Kondo...

The shogun's journey and stay in Kyoto will not be cheap.

In order for us to accompany the shogun as a guard, we must pay in advance.

If our people don't get the money, they won't go anywhere.

But the Shogunate does not currently have such a sum.

Therefore, we will not be able to accompany the shogun on his way to Kyoto.

Don't get us wrong.

You were well-behaved and didn't show your excitement.

I'm impressed.

You're right, but...

They will not go anywhere without payment.

Now the government has financial problems.

What will we do?

We need to bend our line slowly but surely.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

That man over there clearly wants to talk to you.

Commander!

Long time no see!

Do you remember me? I Matsudaira Cioranescu.

Brings back memories, huh?

I've heard a lot about your activities in Kyoto.

The Shinsengumi!

I'm one of the organizers Rosenhouse, so I'm proud of you.

I always knew you would succeed.

A punitive campaign against Choshu begins.

Let's fight shoulder to shoulder!

If I may...

The Quarters Of The Shinsengumi, Kyoto

You don't have to do this!

It's over!

Not for me.

They are traitors.

Why didn't they get punished?

They're under arrest.

Why do you want to sentence them to seppuku?

You're too soft-hearted.

If we don't punish them, we will set a dangerous precedent.

Then we will take preventive measures.

Find out why they wanted to rebel. And act accordingly.

I'm more interested in who incited them.

I didn't incite anyone.

You advised them to write a petition.

I did this so that they would calm down and not leave the group.

Convenient excuse.

Anyway, I don't agree with you.

What good will raising old sins do?

There are too many people here!

You won't even fall asleep!

I can sleep where I want!

This isn't your room.

I'm older than you!

Ozeki, what the hell are you suffering from?

I don't want to lose my shape.

Damn it, it felt so good to be alone under arrest.

Is there something wrong with my face?

You seem surprised.

I'm happy to be able to read my books all day long.

I haven't read a book in a while.

I wanted to ask...

When we went to meet the daimyo Aizu, why was the commander there?

Someone gave us away because he couldn't have come so quickly.

It's not me.

Not that it matters...

What are you doing here?

The whole room stinks of sweat!

How can you stand it?

How was it?

Not bad.

What is it?

Half of Omasa-Chan's store burned down.

But this month, it started trading again.

Is it ready?

Yes, everything is ready.

Cool!

Looks great!

I'm counting on you.

Well.

Tell them I set this up.

And give her my regards.

Can I come with you?"

No, you shouldn't.

Are you going to the city?

Yes, for books.

Go to Otafuku?

We haven't been there since it was rebuilt.

Did Sanosuke-San do this?!

Good tea!

He wanted to bring it in himself, but he's still under arrest. Well, I came in his place.

Sanosuke-San is good at sewing...

He takes good care of her, doesn't he?

About Hijikata-kun...

Not that I didn't agree with him...

I know that for the sake of Shinsengumi and Kondo-San, he has to do tough things.

But I think it's going the wrong way.

I don't understand such complicated things.

I think Hijikata-San is doing everything he can.

He must understand why Nagakura-kun and the others decided to disobey.

Now tough measures may be needed for the Shinsengumi.

But if this goes on, the squad will fall apart.

I don't think he wants everyone to hate him.

Everything he does is for the sake of Kondo-San.

That's what worries me.

He thinks it's all for Kondo-San.

And that's why it doesn't stop at anything.

How long will you eat? It's time to go.

Thank you for visiting. Pay.

Pay.

Why should I pay?

I don't have any money with me.

You idiot!

Please go to Ukifune for the money.

I work there in the evenings.

What is the name of this place?

I won't repeat it again. Ukifune!

Excuse me.

Is it near here?

Yes.

Have you been there?"

Yes, I was there with Serizawa-San.

So you work there...

You were sold there?

Nothing. This is the last time I ate shuriko soup.

It was beautiful. I will never forget that taste.

Go.

I'll pay for you. How much?

Don't worry, Mr. samurai.

Don't deduct that from her income, okay?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you!

You shouldn't do this.

Everything all right.

Are you in love with me?

How much?

112 mon for 7 servings.

You're eating!

Sorry for bother.

Thanks!

What were we talking about?

He is very pale and is constantly coughing, sometimes it raises the temperature.

What can you say?

How old is he?

It will be twenty-three.

How does he cough?

Well, that's about it...

And for a long time already?

For about three months.

You can't say for sure without an inspection, however...

It could be tuberculosis.

If this is the case, he will cough up blood.

There is no hope?

If he coughed blood once , he would die.

Is there any cure for this?

Against pulmonary tuberculosis, medicine is powerless.

Is this person close to you?

Yes... Yes, close.

Come with me.

And something else.

Let...

Your lungs are here.

If you are ill, a depression forms here.

If the disease develops, it is as if a fire is burning inside.

The blood flow through these veins stops.

And the blood is released through the throat.

There is no cure for this disease.

He needs rest and healthy food.

If he starts coughing, give him this to dull the pain.

I repeat, however...

It won't save him.

He needs complete peace.

I don't need a fee.

You are working for the benefit of the Shogunate and our city.

Thank you.

Kondo-San, you don't like foreigners?

Most of the medicines and tools in this room are foreign.

This, this, and this.

To be honest, Western medicine is more developed than ours.

I don't know why the late Minister Lee decided to open the country.

But if Japan continues to isolate itself from the world, we will sooner or later come to an end.

The medicine that relieves pain that I gave you is an invention of the West.

Do you still want to clear the country of foreigners?

Harada, Shimada, And Ozaki, Katsurayama

Soji, where is Yamanami?

He went to get the books.

Will You Call Katsurayama?

Katsurayama? Well.

So you've made your decision.

I won't do it, because that's not my goal.

I don't care what people think of me.

But I want YOU to understand.

I'm getting soft-hearted.

I understand you.

I'm doing all this for the Shinsengumi.

Stand back!

Katsurayama-San, Hijikata-San wants to see you.

That's cool!

I want to see!

No! This is not for women's eyes!

It's not fair.

I want it too!

Is this Sakamoto-San?

Long time no see!

Yamanami-San, like me, is a follower of Hokushin ITTO Ryu.

It was a long time ago...

Well, now you're Vice commander of the Shinsengumi.

Is this a high position?

Yes, he's the Deputy commander!

Great!

I'm a Vice commander only on paper.

Hijikata-kun runs everything.

I'm hungry.

What do you want?

(Nimono-seaweed and Lotus root soup) Nimono is well prepared here.

Then I'll have a nimono.

Please give me a portion of nimono.

You can try it too. A wonderful thing.

Why do you speak such a strange dialect?

You don't like it?

What kind of dialect?

's a Satsuma.

You are out of the game.

I was found in Satsuma with the Oshima Kichinosuke.

Well, I picked up some words from him.

Why did you meet with him?

I can't say.

Not now.

I thought...

Katsu-Sensei, Oshima of Satsuma...

If we get together, we can change Japan.

I will try to become a bridge between the clans.

Don't listen to him.

Do you want to help with social reforms?

I...

You can leave Shinsengumi, right?

Anyway, what do they do?

They kill their own countrymen.

And what will they achieve by such methods?

You only waste your strength there.

The katana should be in the scabbard, and you should only strike with a bokken.

Why should I commit seppuku?

Your actions have made a mess of our squad.

But why me?

This is just prevention. So that it doesn't happen again.

Someone has to take the blame.

So why me?

This is a petition filed by the daimyo Aizu.

Where did you get it?

The person who wrote this petition must be punished.

Call Yamanami-San, please!

I wrote this petition at Yamanami-San's request!

I just did what I was told!

Then your blood will fall on his head.

Why should I die?

Let me see Yamanami!

I see what you are like.

Without any purpose, you joined a group of rebels and went against the will of the commander.

Such a person should not desecrate the earth.

I didn't expect you to come.

Thank you for today.

I was surprised that you ate seven servings.

After all, I tried this soup for the last time.

Is that so?

But you paid for me. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Forget about it.

Welcome.

Thanks.

I'm nervous.

This is my first time in a place like this, and I don't know what to do.

Please forgive me if I do something wrong.

Not to worry. I just wanted a drink.

But I had no one to go with, so I decided to come here.

You must be lonely.

Where are you from?

I was born in Sendai.

What is it?

on North.

I'm from Tanb. From a peasant family.

We had crop failures and famine.

We ate pine bark.

We had nothing left, so they decided to sell me.

Excuse me. I must have gotten carried away when I was talking about the past.

Let's talk about you.

Where are you from?

Sendai?

I think you were just talking about it.

You are beautiful.

Why?

You may just be a little unlucky in life, but you haven't lost your sense of humor.

I can be gloomy.

Don't, I like your smile.

It was all kami's idea... amazing, isn't it?

I think they helped me bear all the hardships of my life.

If I hadn't been lucky, I would have starved to death.

You think so?

I'm talking about myself again.

What do you do?

I came to Kyoto to serve the government and expel foreigners.

But I didn't do very well.

Time is running out, but we are constantly trying to establish order at least within the squad.

All this is sad.

Perhaps you don't understand what I'm talking about.

Forget about everything, please.

I like educated men.

Can you say anything else smart?

I like to look at you when you talk.

I don't know what to say...

I know. Give me a name.

I was told to come up with a new name before tomorrow.

Give me a name.

Akesato.

How?

It is written as "city of happiness".

I will pray that this city does not know tears.

Akesato...

It's a very good name.

I don't know how to do it.

You just have to start.

You gave Hijikata the petition, didn't you?!

Traitor!

Shieikan, Edo

Todo constantly informed me in letters about the success of the Shinsengumi.

Really?

I appreciate your concern for my student.

Kondo-Sensei, your love for the country has been passed on to me.

Dojo ito wants to join the Shinsengumi.

As commander of the Shinsengumi, I accept you.

We will work together to serve our country.

Thanks for the help.

This is a chance to write your names in history.

Good job, Heiske.

We use the Shinsengumi as a support for creating a new era.

There is a lot of work to do.

We killed him. You and me.

It's growing fast.

Her character is getting stronger every day.

I'm glad I saw her.

She has your eyes.

Finally, I can talk to you.

Thank you for your work.

I'm at home.

Doesn't tell anyone...

I missed you very much.
