Original subtitles

It was a real coup d'etat.

On December 9, 1867, five clans, including Satsuma, Owari, and Echizen, took control of the Imperial Palace.

Around the Palace Satsuma's army, about five thousand people.

The Tokugawa shogun must return all powers and privileges received...

A Council was formed to restore the Imperial power.

The Tokugawa Shogunate, which had ruled for 250 years, was officially destroyed.

The new government, organized around the Palace, consisted of members of the most powerful clans.

How far do they want to go?

Yoshinobu was stripped of the title of shogun.

What else do they want?

What does the shogun say about this?

You already know?

I know every step of Satsuma's life in advance.

But why don't you act?

You said that the court is very likely not to cope with the received power.

But the court is already under Satsuma's hand.

They will create a government where you have no place.

Not to worry.

In the eyes of foreign countries, the Tokugawa are representatives of Japan.

France and England do not recognize the new government.

Let's think about our own plan.

Does the shogun accept all this?

Hard to say.

He would never admit that something was going wrong.

Kondo, I can't do nothing anymore.

Despite the shogun's words, I'm going to start a war with Satsuma.

Episode 44 Attack on the Condo

Subtitles by Graft

December 12, 1867, Kyoto

According to the Imperial decree, now our country will have a different political system.

"Imperial decree" sounds impressive.

Matsudaira Katamori is no longer the commandant of Kyoto.

The shogun lost all his powers and all his lands.

That is?

Tokugawa will no longer be the head of the country.

Disgusting.

The shogun agreed to this?

Why, then, is all this happening?

I suspect the Satsuma clan is deliberately provoking a war.

They demand too much and want to outrage the shogun.

Why do they need it?

Not to be responsible for starting a war.

I think so too.

The Satsuma clan wants to start a war, and after the victory - to become the head of the country and pursue their goals.

Terribly.

Damn them!

Why did you get up?

You need to lie down.

I hear the situation is heating up. I can't sleep at this hour.

You are ill and must lie down.

Go, go.

No one wants to tell me anything.

So here you are!

You are hopeless!

Make sure he doesn't get up again!

He always wants to get away!

What will happen to the Shinsengumi?

Think not about Shinsengumi, but about your health.

Correctly.

You're not well, go to bed.

I'm going to Nijo castle immediately.

Be ready to go.

Obey.

Will the Shogunate really be dissolved?

What will happen to the Shinsengumi?

Nothing.

The reign of the Tokugawa will not be interrupted so easy.

We will expel all the people of Satsuma and Choshu from Kyoto.

Shimada, go with the commander.

I've heard that ito's surviving henchmen want revenge.

Obey.

These are Choshu people.

Don't worry.

It's A Condo! The Commander Of The Condo!

It's done.

Well.

You never know how things will turn out...

Who thought that there would be a change of power?

Satsuma and Choshu want to create a new government to replace the Shogunate... incredible.

You're getting old.

You complain a lot.

Don't worry, I won't allow a new government to be created.

Could you call Ogato?

Condo House

The city is getting restless.

The streets are full of Choshu samurai.

I wonder what ordinary people think.

They don't mind at all. The people of Kyoto have always been good to people from Choshu.

They are generous and kind people.

What do they think about the Shinsengumi?

Nothing good.

They don't mind getting rid of the Shinsengumi completely.

Are you not afraid of me?

Nary.

Why?

I've been through a lot in my life.

Where I've lived, what I've done...

And I realized that everyone judges others by themselves.

You can't believe everything others say.

So you're not afraid of us.

Yes, I'm not afraid.

Kondo-San is very kind, and you are just a cutie.

Nijo Castle

Kondo-Dono!

Kondo-Dono, please help me save the Aizu clan.

Hirosawa-San...

Matsudaira was released because he was following his duty, but now he wants to stay in Kyoto and protect the shogun's honor.

War with Choshu and Satsuma is inevitable.

And all of us will be thrown into the attack.

Can you persuade Matsudaira not to start a war?

He listens to your words.

Please help me out.

Komori-sama! Ask him!

You are our only hope.

I'm not very fond of the Shinsengumi. But I'm willing to do anything for the Aizu clan.

I am as loyal to my daimyo as you are.

Leave one box.

Give the rest to our people.

This will boost our morale.

We may have to take to the streets soon.

Will the Shinsengumi be disbanded?

No one can predict the future.

Very generous of you.

Even a demonic Vice commander sometimes wants to look kind.

So our time has come.

Will splitting the country and starting a civil war really benefit Japan?

Come to myself.

We are much stronger than these upstarts.

We can easily crush Both Choshu and Satsuma. And this will undoubtedly benefit Japan.

Patriotism means serving the Shogunate. Focus on that.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

As you know, the shogun has lost all authority.

All samurai from the Fushimi Magistrate and Kyoto Magistrate, as well as all Mimawarigumi members

("Yugekitai" is translated as "Flying army", in Western literature it is called "corps of mercenaries".) were formed in Shin-Yugekitai.

Shinsengumi will also be included in Shin-Yugekitai.

This is an order.

Sasaki, Kondo.

What should we do in this situation?

How can the Satsuma clan be stopped?

The shogun has arrived!

Sasaki, Kondo, the shogun wants to hear your suggestions.

Raise your heads and speak out.

We are now facing an unprecedented crisis.

Your words can save the state.

If I may say so...

We must do away with the Satsuma clan.

There should not be a single person from Satsuma or Choshu left in Kyoto, and then we will restore the Shogunate.

It would save our country.

Kondo, what do you think?

If I may be allowed to speak...

You can't start a civil war.

If we start fighting, we will be branded as rebels.

This will not happen.

The top of the Satsuma clan and the court aristocrats manipulate the young Emperor.

We must destroy the plot of Choshu and Satsuma, break into the Palace and save the Emperor.

As soon as we attack , we'll be trapped by them.

They will be happy to remove the shogun.

We can't give them any reason.

Winners are not judged.

If we win, they won't even make a sound.

Sasaki-sama, do you want to make the shogun a rebel?

So what do we need to do a Condo?

We need to lull their vigilance and wait for an opportunity.

There is no doubt that many other clans are also dissatisfied with the policies of Choshu and Satsuma.

We can unite and become a great force.

As soon as the time comes...

You and Matsudaira Katamori-San will lead us to the Palace. We will free the Emperor and restore the power of the Shogunate.

Too long.

This is the only chance to avoid war.

Why do you think it is necessary to prevent war?

Because a civil war will damage the country.

We can settle this very quickly!

And if we don't succeed?

Sasaki, Kondo! You are in the presence of the shogun!

All clear.

I know what you're thinking.

Kondo, I don't want a war.

I would also like to avoid bloodshed.

But the arrogance and General modus operandi of the Satsuma clan is disgusting.

We must grit our teeth and endure.

We will restore justice.

In the end, we will win.

This is the shogun.

Katamori!

I'm going to Osaka.

Osaka?

If I stay in Kyoto, war will inevitably break out.

We must not fall into the trap of Satsuma.

I will take all the blood-thirsty samurai to Osaka castle.

The whole army will leave with me.

I'll try to convince Sasaki.

Tell him that in Osaka we will prepare for an attack on Kyoto. This is not far from the truth.

Kondo, I ask you to stay here and defend Nijo castle.

Obey.

I will not allow it to come to war.

But if it does start...

Will you help me, Kondo?

I will give my life for you.

Will we win?

Kondo Isami has never been defeated.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Give me command of the troops immediately. I want to enter Osaka before sunset.

Obey.

Did he go to Osaka?

Yoshinobu is not easily lured into a trap.

Kondo Isami seems to have influenced him; he's as cunning as hell.

What will we do?

I'll take care of the Condo.

I told the surviving followers of ito-San that the Satsuma clan would help them carry out their revenge.

Perfectly.

Isn't it great, huh?

Who did you Rob?!

No, no, it's not what you think.

Hijikata decided to distribute some of the money from the reserve.

Such heaps of money?

Since I'm married and soon to be a father, he gave me a little more.

Now we are rich!

Masa, there may be a war coming soon.

But enough for you to frown!

Promise me that if anything happens to me, you will raise my son and make him a good man.

We still don't know who we'll have.

This is my baby, too! It will definitely be a boy!

I've already made up a name.

Shigeru-Chan.

It's written like this...

Why Is Shigeru?

Why did we come to Kyoto?

To guard the shogun.

Then the shogun was Iemochi.

"Iemochi" is written in the characters "ie" and "Shigeru".

I thought it would be a great name.

How disrespectful to call a son a piece of the shogun's name.

No one will know if you don't tell them.

If shogun Iemochi hadn't decided to come to Kyoto, we wouldn't have met.

He brought us happiness.

This is so, but...

What if it's a girl?

No, it will be a boy, I'm sure!

Shigeru, come on, be born faster!

The shogun is leaving!

Kondo-Sensei, are we entering Shin-Yugekitai now?

That's the order.

Why can't the Shinsengumi continue to act on their own?

I like the name Shinsengumi better.

I have changed my own name many times, but I want to remain a member of the Shinsengumi.

The name will change, but we will remain the same.

The Shinsengumi won't be dismissed, will they?

I have nowhere to go.

Me too.

How unusual.

We will guard Nijo castle.

Me too?

No.

Then you wouldn't have to tell me anything.

I was told that this is very useful.

I don't know.

Then why give it to me?

The seller said that this is a very useful root vegetable.

And how to eat it?

You'll have to try both boiled and raw. Thanks.

Saito-San, why did you come to me?

I'm glad, of course...

But this is not like you, Saito-San.

I'll come back.

I wanted to be like you, Saito-San.

I've been looking up to you all this time. I am grateful to you.

Whatever happens, you are cool and calm.

I would like to be like you.

That's enough.

Don't be like me.

That's why I'm worried about you.

The Shinsengumi's a lot of enemies.

Do not forget to close the sliding doors.

And don't forget to prepare the way for retreat.

If I close the sliding doors, not just shut off a path of retreat!

The MiTo clan will ensure the safety of Nijo castle.

You can leave.

We are from Sin-Yugekitai, and we were ordered to guard the castle.

Your name may have changed, but you are from Shinsengumi!

The morale of the army will fall!

Are you dissatisfied with something?

I know how many acts of violence and arbitrariness you have committed!

How many people did you kill?

You drowned the city in blood!

Your actions were dissatisfied with the Choshu and Satsuma clans! And here is the result!

We do not recognize you because you have become a direct vassal of the shogun!

You are unreliable companions for us!

Did you say everything?

Yes!

Now get out of here!

We fought in the name of the shogun and risked our lives.

We killed a lot of people, that's right...

But we also lost a lot!

We killed their friends if they went against the rules of the Shinsengumi.

And we did it for the Shogunate!

Are you deliberately mocking our dead comrades?

Let me ask you a question!

Five years, when we went out into the blood-soaked streets of Kyoto, into chaos and darkness - where were you?!

Have you ever fought for the shogun?!

Let's go.

Don't you want to get an object lesson on military operations?

I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble.

What now?

The shogun assigned the MiTo clan to guard it.

But the shogun personally told me...

He said it on the spur of the moment.

Forget about Nijo castle.

It is not necessary to quarrel with the MiTo clan for nothing.

You can guard another place.

Obey.

We're going to Fushimi.

If Satsuma and Choshu start a war, we will fight and defend the shogun's honor.

This is the most honorable task ever assigned to the Shinsengumi.

Keep your weapons ready and demonstrate your skills!

December 18, 1867, Kyoto

Thank you, of course, but I have one from Saito.

And Kondo-Sensei was there too.

Did he come in?

He stopped by Nijo castle on the way.

I appreciate your concern, but...

You still think I'm seriously ill.

And what should I do with all these roots?

You can eat them.

No, no, she doesn't need to get any healthier!

She's already too energetic.

Discontinue.

Put it back.

Stop it!

Thank you for taking care of him.

Soji looks more healthy.

He really wants to go to Fushimi.

When he feels better, he sits on the doorstep and looks toward Fushimi.

Please keep an eye on him.

He can't go to Fushimi in this state.

We just received a letter from Edo.

There are very serious problems.

Residents expect the ronin of Satsuma to set fire to the city every night.

The Satsuma clan is provoking us to war.

Exactly.

High-ranking officials barely contain the irascible samurai, who are eager for revenge and want to set fire to Satsuma's office.

I'm not a fool either, I'll give them a couple of provocations.

I ask you to be careful.

Obey.

What happened?

I'm asking you a favor.

I would like to return the name Shin-Yugekitai.

Do you want to create a Shinsengumi again?

Who are you?

You...

Do you know her?"

Wait for me in the barracks.

You're lying!

Sakamoto wasn't killed by the Shinsengumi!

You're lying!

The Tokugawa government needed him!

Then why did you kill him?

I'm telling you, it wasn't us!

Then who killed him?

I don't know.

He wanted to change the country.

And so he had many enemies.

What did he want to achieve?

He wanted to change Japan for the better.

And he gave his life for such a stupid idea?

Maybe it was stupid.

But he wanted to benefit the country.

Perhaps he should have tried something else.

Many wanted to change our country by force.

But only he wanted to do it peacefully.

Only he was different.

Now Japan is heading for what Sakamoto-San feared most.

He shouldn't have gotten involved in politics.

I wanted to... to... Ryoma-San stayed with me.

What happened?

I was left alone.

I can only say one thing.

Sakamoto Ryoma loved you, and you can be proud of it.

I don't need that pride!

Your name has the hieroglyph "re", as well as the name"Rema".

Don't forget that.

I'm Sakamoto Ryoma.

What character is your name written in, "Re"?

The hieroglyph "re" means "sea Palace".

Really? In my name, the same!

What a coincidence!

You should be proud that Sakamoto Ryoma is alive in your name.

This is your duty.

It's not easy.

I'll go out to the store.

What are you doing here?

Saito-San told me to have a workaround just in case.

When did you make it?

Come inside, quick!

Why?

Suspicious hanging around outside the samurai.

Hurry, let's go inside!

I'm sick!

Sorry.

Who are you?

What the hell?

Have no idea.

Fushimi Road

Ambush is dishonest.

So what? They also used dirty tricks.

I did what you asked.

I returned the name "Shin-Yugekitai" to Nagai-San.

Now we are called Shinsengumi again.

Coming!
