Open It, Kondo.

In June 1867, Shinsengumi's many achievements were officially recognized, and all members were given the title of hatamoto.

Until now, they were considered only temporary employees of the Aizu clan, and now they were recognized as vassals of the shogun.

(The hatamoto were considered more privileged.) There were two groups of high - ranking vassals, hatamoto and gokenin.

All members of the Shinsengumi were given the title of gokenins, and commander Kondo Isami was given the title of hatamoto.

Although he was a peasant by birth, he was awarded this honor due to his outstanding abilities.

Kondo-Sensei, we are now direct vassals of the shogun.

We have been working towards this goal for a long time.

We finally became samurai not only in words, but also in deeds.

On June 23, this serious promotion of Shinsengumi on the career ladder was officially approved.

However, the list of direct vassals of the shogun did not include Shinsengumi's military adviser, Takeda Kanryusai.

Subtitles by Graft

Ogata, read aloud.

According to the unofficial order of the daimyo Katamori, the commander of Kondo-Sensei is also appointed as the head of Mimawarigumi.

Hijikata-Sensei will be the Vice commander both here and in Mimawarigumi.

The same applies to the military Advisor, Takeda-Sensei.

I agree with the appointment.

Unit commanders will also take the same position at Mimiviridae.

Namely: Okita-Sensei, Nagakura-Sensei...

Susa, now you are a direct vassal of the shogun.

Don't make a mistake in front of the head of state.

Shuhei, what's your position?

(Sergeant is the European equivalent of the Japanese title " Goucho") Here and in Mimiviridae I serve as a Sergeant in the unit.

Great!

Shimada, you're falling behind.

Don't think about me.

Shimada-San, you joined the Shinsengumi a long time ago. Why don't you hold a high position?

I asked Hijikata-San not to promote me, because I am not very good at commanding people.

I didn't know that. Why did this happen?

I am also happy that I am a full-time member of the Shinsengumi. I don't need anything else.

I am proud to be able to wear the New Guard's haori uniform.

This is a good opportunity, Toshi.

That is?

Now that we are all vassals of the shogun, the lives of the Shinsengumi people do not belong to us.

They belong to the shogun.

Do you want to change the squad code?

How many more people have to die?

None died in vain.

Do you think that Kawai's death also did someone good?

I didn't make any mistake.

Yes, you didn't make any mistakes.

However...

Will you stop already?

It was not easy for us farmers from Tama to live in Kyoto and get such posts...

We needed strict discipline.

To make a bunch of ronins the best unit in Kyoto, we needed these laws.

This is why our code was compiled.

Now we are samurai.

And there is no one in Kyoto better than Shinsengumi.

Toshi, why don't we put our people's lives in the hands of the shogun?

All these laws are very important.

But I don't want our friends ' lives cut off again.

I think Yamanami-San would agree with that.

Have you made your decision yet, commander?

I agree with you. Anyway.

I'm sorry for forcing my will on you.

There is nothing strange about this.

Hey, we have a problem. Our friends are not happy.

Why did Takeda Kanryusai get a rank higher than ours?

Who made this decision? Hijikata-San?

Hijikata-kun has nothing to do with this.

Ogata, explain.

Before signing the order, representatives of Aizu asked what the status of our people is now.

Takeda-San is considered to be a military adviser, and - unofficially - the second Vice-commander.

That is why it was given a special status.

Do you understand now?

Yes, I understand, but I'm still not satisfied.

At all, that useful made Takeda?

He is one of the culprits of Kawai's death. Everyone knows that.

I don't understand what you want.

We have received complaints about your official status.

All Hijikata's assistants, i.e. unit commanders, receive triple pay, and only you are paid five times more.

Wait.

Do you want to challenge the shogun's own order?

By the way, I personally didn't ask anyone for anything.

You are accusing the wrong person, gentlemen.

The main cause of discontent is your bad reputation.

And what do you want?

You want me demoted?

Actually, we didn't say that.

Do you agree to be content with the same title as Okita and the others?

Is that what you want, commander?

This will save you from any unsubstantiated charges.

Well, I see...

I've never been so insulted!

I, you see, should not be a direct vassal!

We don't think so!

Takeda Kanryusai is a proud man.

After all I've heard, I don't intend to stay here any longer!

Let...

What else?

I'm Ibaraki.

Tokugawa. Sano. Nakamura.

Takeda-Sensei, we heard you were demoted.

We are also very unhappy.

What about you?

Did we ask the commander for our promotion?

We joined the Shinsengumi in order to faithfully serve the Emperor and to facilitate the expulsion of foreigners.

If we become vassals of the shogun, we will not be able to face our master. What should we do then?

We can't stay in Shinsengumi.

I have a suggestion. Please refer to ito-Sensei.

The protection of the Imperial crypt?

I'll prepare everything.

But will they consider us deserters?

Write a letter to commander Kondo stating that you are joining the guard of the Imperial crypt.

Then you won't be prosecuted for desertion.

Clear.

Thank you for advice.

Not worry. All you have to do is rely on me.

What is it?

Dissatisfied with the promotion, they left the group, leaving this letter as an excuse.

What exactly are they dissatisfied with?

They believe that I used the Shinsengumi for personal purposes in order to achieve a high rank.

Why do they think that?

Yes, it is not easy to keep the squad intact...

Barracks of the guard of the Imperial crypt

Put them out.

But...

I'm not going to accept them.

I don't need to clash with the Shinsengumi over these fools.

But they can't go back.

It's none of our business.

We have an agreement with Shinsengumi.

We have no right to accept members of the Shinsengumi.

But they all came to join ito-Sensei.

If we accept them, the responsibility will fall on our head.

Excuse me.

Todo-Sensei.

What are you doing here?

We left Shinsengumi to join ito-Sensei.

Takeda-Sensei went to Kano-San to arrange everything.

He's already gone.

What ?!

Ibaraki, what the hell?

"What will happen to us?" "I don't know!

According to Saito-San's report, it was Takeda who encouraged them to leave.

What was he thinking?

Now they have nowhere to go.

If they return, I will forgive them.

But they deserted! We must kill them.

They only acted according to their own understanding.

What do you think, Hijikata-San?

I have an urgent message from Hirosawa from Aizu!

Ibaraki and the others had just arrived at the Aizu office.

Hirosawa asks you to come as soon as possible.

Representation Of Aizu

We shouldn't have written this letter.

Now we are deserters.

If we go back, we'll have to make a seppuku.

What do they say?

They wanted to leave Shinsengumi and enlist in the protection of the Imperial crypt.

We don't know what to do with them.

Where are they?

They're waiting in the back room.

Please get them out of here, and quickly.

Hirosawa-sama, we have a problem!

What else?

They...

They thought it was the only way out.

Ibaraki and the others committed seppuku.

June 22, 1867, Kyoto

Over here!

This Is Sakamoto Ryoma!

Takeda-San!

Was it Kanryusai?

You can't mistake him for anyone.

How long has he been out of sight in the barracks?

Eighth day.

So he's still in Kyoto.

We must return it immediately.

You again!

I already can't go back to the Shinsengumi.

Please accept me.

As I said earlier, we have a contract with Kondo-San.

That's why I'm coming to you again!

My answer won't change.

Get him out.

Ito-Sensei!

We have nothing more to talk about.

Wait!

There is no such thing anywhere else in Kyoto.

It describes the tactics and weapons of Western armies and their training.

The bookseller said that Kano was also interested in her.

This book is necessary for anyone who wants to learn the military secrets of the West.

I give it to you.

Since you were ahead of me, I had to look for this book, and I found it.

You're wasting my time.

Please leave.

Well?

He never appeared there again.

You said this hotel was suspicious.

Enough, enough.

We'll have to check all the hotels in the area.

Ito-Sensei is waiting.

Quarter Mimiviridae

Did you say that you know Sakamoto Ryoma well?

Yes, it is.

I need to know everything about him.

It lit up in Kyoto.

I've heard that he often visits Satsuma's office.

Get close to him and find out why he's here.

Yes!

Did you find it?"

I think so.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'll check it out.

Me too.

Keep your head down!

Well done.

Thanks.

Are we going to attack?

No, I have a different plan.

How did you find me?

I know everything that happens in Kyoto.

Yesterday, Sakamoto-Sensei, you arrived in the capital.

I found out about it today.

I could have killed you at the hotel entrance.

The fact that we have a peaceful conversation is proof of my good intentions.

Right.

Sakamoto-Sensei, I want to create a new world with the Emperor in charge.

If the country is strong, it will be peaceful.

There are prerequisites for this. It's time to act.

I'm forming a fleet in Nagasaki.

It will be the Foundation of my company.

I'll do business.

I am ready to listen to any business proposal.

But nothing more.

It is not easy to find an approach to you.

I'm sorry, but I have to go soon.

We'll talk in detail next time.

Sakamoto-Sensei, Shinsengumi, and Mimawarigumi are hunting you.

Let Heiske be your bodyguard.

He is still young, but already owns the Hokushin ITTO Ryu and Tennen Rishin Ryu schools.

This is not necessary.

I think it will be useful to you.

Protect Sakamoto-Sensei, Heisuke.

Obey.

I was a military adviser to Kondo-kun in Shinsengumi.

Please allow me to stay at Satsuma's office.

To win a battle, you need to be able to recognize the enemy's strategy.

I graduated from the military Academy of the Koshin.

Recently, I have been seriously studying French strategy.

I am familiar with the strategy of the Shogunate and Shinsengumi troops.

The Shogunate and Shinsengumi are not at war with us.

The enemy of the Satsuma clan is the Western countries.

I ask you to leave.

You're missing a good opportunity.

I want to know the location of Aizu's forces.

If the Satsuma clan starts a war...

...where the ISA will place the army and the staff?

I'm sure a former member of the Shinsengumi should know that.

All records on this subject are stored in our barracks.

Can you get them?

If so, the Satsuma clan will take care of your future.

You have my word.

Sorry for being late.

Where are goto-Sensei and the others?

Before the official meeting with Satsuma and Tosa, I want to talk about something.

I'll ask you directly.

I know that the Satsuma clan is preparing for war.

Yes.

What are Satsuma's plans for the Shogunate?

We are going to destroy the bakufu government.

Do you want to overthrow the Tokugawa dynasty?

To achieve this, of course, you will have to fight.

Let's not start a war.

We're talking about the Shogunate.

He trained in the methods of the French army and a powerful fleet.

Even if we win, it will cost too much.

The longer the war lasts, the more profitable it will be for France and England.

Then let me ask you a question.

What are your suggestions?

You will be shocked by my words.

There is another way to move from the Tokugawa Shogunate era to a new era.

And-without war.

And how?

It is necessary to force the shogun Yoshinobu to return the full power to the Emperor.

Then the bakufu government is finished.

It's impossible.

The most powerful clans will rally around the Emperor and start a new state.

We will make the Emperor head of the country.

The Tokugawa will never agree to this.

They can be forced to agree.

We will include the most important people from the Tokugawa dynasty in the new government.

This is what the Tosa clan wants to achieve.

Okubo-Dono, did I tell you?

Rema constantly offers the most incredible ideas.

Sakamoto-Dono, I will remember your words.

To be honest, we only thought about overthrowing, not destroying, the Shogunate.

We will consider your offer.

Ask you.

Goto-Sensei and the others are waiting in Yoshida-ya.

So they only wanted to overthrow the shogun.

I don't know if they will seriously consider your words...

But now there is hope of ending everything without war.

No, you don't know what this man is capable of yet.

Wide horizons open up ahead.

So you don't plan to start a war?

Of course, I plan to.

Yoshinobu will hold on to power with his hands and feet.

If he refuses to return all powers to the Emperor, we will have an excuse to launch military action.

So, if we want to take power into their own hands, we can't let Yoshinobu to resign as shogun.

But then we need to get Sakamoto Ryoma out of action as soon as possible!

Yes, it will be an eyesore.

He is a purposeful person.

Sadly.

Well, successfully?

Why didn't you leave Kyoto immediately?

I had my own ideas.

In a world where a person's skill with a sword is the criterion for judging them, it would be difficult for me to survive.

So I wanted to change this world.

Until I do everything I can, I'm not going home.

I thought very highly of you.

I'm sorry it came to this...

Too many people have died because of you.

It's not just my fault.

Do you deny it?

Certainly.

If you don't know your guilt, why did you run away?

All this is the result of your weakness and indecision.

You only think about your own safety.

You lied to everyone just to protect yourself.

You've already listened to me, haven't you?

Give the order to commit seppuku. I'm ready.

A man who is one step away from death should not be in a hurry.

A samurai can atone for his guilt not only by death.

Live and repent.

Death is too easy.

Kondo-Sensei...

This only proves the severity of his sins.

Wait!

Live. Live and become a good samurai.

What are you doing? He repeatedly violated our laws!

Soji, we need to take a step forward.

Why did so many people die because of so much less trouble?!

Yamanami-San! And Kawai-San!

You will no longer be a military adviser.

You will become an ordinary samurai.

And I won't let you escape.

Thank you.

I do not advise you to live as before, Takeda Kanryusai!

Thank you!

Go wash and have dinner.

I just want to ask you one question.

I don't mind being a private, but...

Please leave me a separate room.

Stop it!

I don't want to live next to other members of the squad.

Who knows what they'll do to me?

Can I ask you?..

What are you doing here?

Please don't tell anyone!

Who is this for?

Free Shipping Kisaburo

He was the son of a rich merchant.

A very beautiful headstone.

Do you often visit his grave?

No.

Why are you doing this now?

So that no one will see me!

It's not exactly in my nature. Please don't say a word to anyone.

Well.

Saw you when you came out of the representation of Satsuma.

Are you related to them?

I wanted them to hire me as a military adviser.

In exchange, they wanted information about the deployment of Aizu troops.

But I haven't fallen so low yet.

You were his keisaku, Okita-kun?

Would you like to say a prayer?

No.

Clear.

Don't forget to put out the candle.

I can't die...

The commander of the Condo gave me another chance...

I won't die!

It was his fault. There was nothing we could do.

It's time for us to stop.

It's time to stop.

What is it?

See for yourself.

Finally!

Finally what?

It wasn't easy.

Shimada.

Rather.

Oyuki!

This is Oyuki-San's younger sister, Oko-San.

Why did you want to see me?

Can I leave now? I have a job to do.

Who are you?
