Ymz: Hey! The hell are you?
Ymz: You're the punk who's been sneaking around lately, aren't you?
Note,Sign: Note: This is Yamazaki Sagaru.
Ymz: You can't fool this Mountain Zaki's nose.
Ymz: Do you know what this place is?!
Ymz: Try anything funny, and the Roshigumi will arrest you—
Hij: You're the one who needs to be arrested.
Roshi Small,: Roshigumi Applicants
Ymz: H-Hijikata-san?!
Hij: Are you trying to piss about, or are you trying to piss me off?
Hij: Either way, I'll gladly kick your ass.
Hij: If you don't want that, get back to training.
Hij: And do a thousand swings extra.
Ymz: Yes, sir!
Ymz: Yamazaki Sagaru, heading back right away!
Hij: One of our men seems to have been rude to you. I'm sorry.
Hij: Wait, aren't you...
Sas: How you've changed.
Sas: In just a few days, the stray dogs have been transformed
Sas: by a wolf that's mixed in with the pack.
Sas: What is his name?
Hij: Kondo Isao.
Hij: He's our general.
Sas: Kondo Isao...
Sas: He is both gentle and firm. A most mysterious man indeed.

Phone Middle,: Delete?
Mat: Oh?
Mat: That's a pretty trendy item you've got there. How unlike you.
Sas: L-Lord M-Matsudaira?!
Mat: Oh, yeah. You're newly wed, aren't you?
Building,: Sasakawa's
Mat: The elite Sasaki is still human enough to flirt with his wife through email, huh?
Sas: Y-You've got it wrong!
Sas: She's at her parents' home for the birth, and it's easier to keep in touch—
Mat: Ah, so you're not flirting by email.
Mat: You already flirted to your heart's content someplace else, eh?
Sas: Knock it off!
Sas: I'm simply doing the bare minimum to keep in touch.
Sas: I don't even know how to type an email.
Mat: Unless you learn, you won't be able to seduce any girls in the era to come.
Sas: You're talking about cabaret girls, aren't you?!
Sas: What I want from you is your reply.
Sas: You've heard what they're saying, haven't you?
Mat: You mean the decree making them an official police force?
Sas: Yes. Ever since Kondo took charge, their work has been exemplary.
Sas: The brass want to bestow upon them a status befitting an important mission.
Mat: An important mission? Doing what, exactly?
Sas: Escorting the members of one of Tokugawa's three houses,
Sas: Lord Hitotsubashi Narinari and his son Nobunobu.
Sas: Or so they'll be told,
Sas: but they'll be att*cked by rebels on the way.
Sas: Their job is to let the assassination succeed
Sas: and then take responsibility by disemboweling themselves.
Mat: That's not a job for police.
Sas: Exactly.
Mat: In order to eliminate the political enemies of Lord Sadasada, the current ruler,
Mat: you're telling me to sacrifice those stray dogs?
Sas: I suppose taking out one of the three Tokugawa houses
Sas: will require sufficient smoke and mirrors.
Sas: And it seems the brass never saw them as anything but sacrificial pawns.
Mat: What about you?
Mat: Do you still think that's all they're worth?
Mat: Talk about ironic.
Mat: We hold titles that are appropriate for samurai,
Mat: but we're too shackled by them to do anything befitting of samurai.
Mat: Unlike those guys, who try to act more like samurai than samurai themselves.
Mat: Who can say which of us are the real samurai here?
Mat: Sasaki, when is your child expected?
Sas: In a month's time.
Mat: I see.
Mat: In this era, you may not be able to do anything befitting a samurai or a father,
Mat: but you should at least respond to her emails.
Oki: What're we gonna do about the name?
Hij: The name? What are you talking about?
Oki: We can't call ourselves the Roshigumi anymore.
Oki: We're gonna become real samurai.
Hij: You're jumping the g*n.
Kon: Either way, we came from Bushu with nothing but the clothes on our backs,
Kon: and finally made it this far.
Sas: What a coincidence.
Sas: I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a name myself.
Phone ,: It's almost time. Did you come up with a good name? I can't wait to see you with our child.
Sas: Oh, I'm talking about my child, though.
Kon: That's great news. Congrats.
Sas: But I have no idea how I should raise a child in this chaotic era,
Sas: or what kind of father I should be.
Sas: What kind of samurai do you people wish to be?
Kon: No idea.
Kon: Even after we become samurai,
Kon: and when the time comes for us to die as samurai,
Kon: we probably won't find an answer to that question.
Kon: But that's fine.
Kon: I believe that there isn't one true way of the samurai.
Kon: Losing your way, doubting yourself, seeking who you ought to be...
Kon: That attitude is what makes you a samurai.
Kon: So keep searching.
Kon: Keep struggling.
Kon: Choose your own true path and
Kon: push forward!
Kon: Yes, our name is...
Hij: The Shinsengumi!
Mat: Sasaki, you aren't exactly a goody-two-shoes yourself,
Mat: but don't underestimate how much of a scumbag a real Commissioner-General can be!
Hij: Commissioner-General,
Hij: you shouldn't control an organization you're not fit to lead.
Hij: If you can't remember how any of your men look,
Hij: you won't be able to babysit a bunch of thornies.
Hij: We're taking our general back.
Kon: Toshi...
Hij: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Kondo-san.
Kon: I'm the one who should be sorry.
Kon: My incompetence is what caused all this.
Hij: We're the same as you.
Hij: After all the agonizing and fretting we did,
Hij: we ended up back here again.
Kon: I see.
Kon: If we're dawdling about here,
Kon: then I guess we're still a long way off from our true paths.
Hij: Yeah, no doubt.
Hij: But there's one thing we've realized.
Hij: Be it our true path or a twisted one...
Hij: So long as we get to walk by your side,
Hij: we don't care where we go.
Hij: This is the path we chose, Kondo-san.
Kon: Then let's walk together.
Kon: Even if the road we walk takes us to Hell.
Kon: I will never let you guys go again.
Kon: Live with me and die with me,
Kon: Shinsengumi!
Hij: Out of the way, Sasaki!
Sas: If you wish to see the continuation of your dream, then force your way through.
Sas: Even if it means trampling over the dreams of others.
Nob: Why?
Nob: Why do you fight?
Nob: Why do you resist?
Nob: You Shinsengumi were supposed to vanish before you even came to be.
Nob: So why?
Nob: Why do you point your blades at Isaburo?
Nob: Why does Isaburo alone have to...
Phone,: Are you still having trouble deciding on a name? I'd be fine with any name you suggest.
Sas: Hey, whippersnapper.
Sas: You shouldn't eat up there.
Nob: I don't want to be told what or where to eat when I'm outside.
Sak: Sasaki-dono.
Sas: Sakon-dono, this isn't what I was told.
Sak: You mean this isn't an appropriate place to secretly plan an assassination?
Sak: Rest assured.
Sak: Those kids are the ones most suited to k*ll here.
Sak: They were taken in by Tenshoin Naraku and raised as k*lling machines.
Sak: In particular, that Mukuro girl is the bastard child of death itself.
Sak: She's skilled enough at her young age to be called one of the Three Wings of Naraku.
Sak: Are you dissatisfied?
Sak: Surely you don't mean to say you don't want to make children k*ll?
Nob: Are you going to do it or not?
Nob: Is it messed up for ignorant children to k*ll people?
Nob: Or is it more messed up for knowledgeable adults to k*ll people?
Nob: I'm a child, and yet I k*ll.
Phone,: Are you still having trouble deciding on a name? I'd be fine with any name you suggest.
Nob: You k*ll, and yet you worry about what name to give a child soon to be born.
Nob: We've both strayed off the right path.
Obo: You guys don't know when to give up.
Obo: Sasaki Isaburo...
Obo: That viper in our bosom.
Obo: His goal isn't to solidify the new government or his own position.
Obo: All he wants...
Sak: The plan will be put into motion on April th.
Sak: Escorting the targets will be the Roshigumi-turned-Shinsengumi.
Sak: Create an opening in a post town.
Sak: Ten seconds will be enough for those kids to take the father and son's heads.
Sak: The Shinsengumi may be sacrificed.
Sak: They'll end up having to disembowel themselves anyway.
Kon: All right, let's take a break here.
Hij: What about Lord Hitotsubashi, Kondo-san?
Kon: Matsudaira said not to let him out of the palanquin 'til we reach the destination.
Hij: Sheesh. So he basically told us not to take breaks, either?
Kon: This is the Shinsengumi's first mission.
Kon: We have to make sure it succeeds and show off our strength.
Kon: What?
Kid: Sorry!
Kid: Throw the ball back, old man!
Kon: Who are you calling an old man?!
Hij: A VIP's riding in that palanquin. Stay away from it.
Hij: Go play somewhere else, kid.
Kid: Oh, but...
Kid: There are scary old men with swords hiding all over the place.
Hij: Is that true, kid?
Kon: Could it be an ambush?
Hij: Hey! Check the area at once!
Kon: Where are those scary old men, kid—
Kon: Don't tell me!
Hij: Stop right there, kid!
Kon: I believe that there isn't one true way of the samurai.
Kon: Losing your way, doubting yourself, seeking who you ought to be...
Kon: That attitude is what makes you a samurai.
Kon: So feel free to doubt and lose yourself as much as you want.
Kon: About the baby's I mean.
Kon: That's how fathers are supposed to be, don't you think?
p*rn,: O-Ero
Kid: Um, Lord Hitotsubashi, I bought the book you asked for.
Mat: Oh, good work.
Kid: Sorry, I was asked to do this.
Kid: A long-faced old man told me he'd pay me to deliver the p*rn mag to the palanquin.
G: E-Enemy att*ck!
G: For real this time!
G: Joi Rebels were lying in wait to ambush us!
Kon: Don't let them near the palanquin!
Kon: Let's roll, men!
Mat: Hey, I asked for a hardcore masochism book.
Sas: If you were k*lled holding something like that, your reputation would be ruined,
Sas: Lord Hitotsubashi—I mean, Lord Matsudaira.
Mat: Shut up, Long-Faced Old Man.
Sas: I leaked information to the Joi Rebels.
Sas: If you're lucky, they'll att*ck before the assassins do.
Mat: They already have.
Mat: Are you sure this will prevent the assassination?
Sas: If the assassination ends in failure due to unforeseen events,
Sas: the higher-ups won't be able to blame anyone.
Sas: So basically, their fate rests in their own hands.
Sas: Goodbye, then.
Mat: Wait, Sasaki.
Mat: Why did you lend us a hand?
Sas: I don't recall ever offering you a helping hand.
Sas: I only used my fingers to send emails.
Sas: I practiced using my cell phone, you see.
Phone,: It's a healthy baby girl. Sadly, she's inherited your long face, but she's very cute.
Sas: Anyway, I need to respond to my wife now.
Sas: I may not be able to become a fine samurai or a fine father,
Sas: but I do want to give her a fine name.
Oki: Sasaki saved us?
Nob: Not just you.
Nob: Back then, I think Isaburo tried to save us kids, too.
Nob: But there was nobody to save him.
Nob: Nobody could.
Sas: I finally thought of a nice name.
Sas: I'm sure you'll like this one, too.
Sas: When are you getting here?
Fail,: Sending failed.
Sas: Email me once you're nearby.
Sas: Actually, email me even if you're far away.
Fail,: Sending failed.
Fail,: Sending failed.
Sas: I will come pick you up wherever you are.
Sas: I will come pick up
Sas: both you and Nobume.
Obo: The crow didn't k*ll its target.
Obo: And Sasaki didn't k*ll his.
Obo: Because he saw at the time the enemy he really ought to cut down.
Obo: He's trying to dye this era in the colors of rebellion.
Obo: By making you guys start a revolt,
Obo: he's trying to end the samurai era, along with himself.
Obo: He is but a rebel, just like you people.
Hij: What's going on?
Sas: Playing the villain is no walk in the park, I must say.
Sas: I have enemies all over the place.
Sas: It doesn't seem like anyone's willing to be my mail buddy, either.
Sas: Very well.
Sas: As the evil overlord, I shall take you all on at once.
Sas: But Hijikata-san...
Sas: I can't take on a demon like you while distracted.
Sas: Could you please wait a while?
Nob: Isaburo fired a burning arrow of rebellion at society.
Nob: But Naraku's trying to extinguish every last spark of it.
Nob: That's why Isaburo
Nob: plans on using the flames being lit here.
Nob: He wants to destroy everything and significantly weaken the country.
Oki: Are you gonna sit back and watch your general commit su1c1de with the country?
Nob: That is my duty.
Sas: Why didn't you cut me down, whippersnapper?
Sas: Back then, you said we were already murderers who'd strayed off the right path.
Sas: Well, you were right.
Sas: Right now, I feel no hesitation to k*ll a child like you.
Sas: So why...
Sas: Why are you shedding those?
Nob: I don't know.
Nob: I don't know where these are coming from.
Nob: I don't know why I can't cut you down.
Nob: I don't know why I must k*ll all of you.
Nob: A certain someone once told me something...
Nob: He said people are born weak,
Nob: but we have the freedom to defy our weaknesses and struggle to change ourselves.
Nob: Maybe that's why.
Nob: You were struggling with all your might.
Nob: I must struggle, too.
Nob: I don't deserve to k*ll you.
Nob: The only thing I deserve is to be k*lled by you.
Sas: If you wish to be cut down, then I won't.
Sas: What I really need to cut down
Sas: is this era where the country commits such acts of brutality.
Sas: And myself, for being unable to protect anything from this era.
Sas: Keep swinging your sword for my sake.
Sas: And when the time comes, use it to k*ll me.
Sas: That is my vengeance.
Nob: Yes, that is my duty.
Nob: Even though I took everything from Isaburo, I couldn't cut him down.
Nob: I made him live on.
Nob: But this time, for sure, I must k*ll him.
Nob: I have to put an end to that man.
Kag: Stop right there!
Kag: That's enough.
Kag: You two have done enough.

Obo: The crow didn't k*ll its target.
Obo: And Sasaki didn't k*ll his.
Obo: Because he saw at the time the enemy he really ought to cut down.
Obo: He's trying to dye this era in the colors of rebellion.
Obo: By making you guys start a revolt,
Obo: he's trying to end the samurai era, along with himself.
Obo: He is but a rebel, just like you people.
Hij: What's going on?
Sas: Playing the villain is no walk in the park, I must say.
Sas: I have enemies all over the place.
Sas: It doesn't seem like anyone's willing to be my mail buddy, either.
Sas: Very well.
Sas: As the evil overlord, I shall take you all on at once.
Sas: But Hijikata-san...
Sas: I can't take on a demon like you while distracted.
Sas: Could you please wait a while?
Nob: Isaburo fired a burning arrow of rebellion at society.
Nob: But Naraku's trying to extinguish every last spark of it.
Nob: That's why Isaburo
Nob: plans on using the flames being lit here.
Nob: He wants to destroy everything and significantly weaken the country.
Oki: Are you gonna sit back and watch your general commit su1c1de with the country?
Nob: That is my duty.
Sas: Why didn't you cut me down, whippersnapper?
Sas: Back then, you said we were already murderers who'd strayed off the right path.
Sas: Well, you were right.
Sas: Right now, I feel no hesitation to k*ll a child like you.
Sas: So why...
Sas: Why are you shedding those?
Nob: I don't know.
Nob: I don't know where these are coming from.
Nob: I don't know why I can't cut you down.
Nob: I don't know why I must k*ll all of you.
Nob: A certain someone once told me something...
Nob: He said people are born weak,
Nob: but we have the freedom to defy our weaknesses and struggle to change ourselves.
Nob: Maybe that's why.
Nob: You were struggling with all your might.
Nob: I must struggle, too.
Nob: I don't deserve to k*ll you.
Nob: The only thing I deserve is to be k*lled by you.
Sas: If you wish to be cut down, then I won't.
Sas: What I really need to cut down
Sas: is this era where the country commits such acts of brutality.
Sas: And myself, for being unable to protect anything from this era.
Sas: Keep swinging your sword for my sake.
Sas: And when the time comes, use it to k*ll me.
Sas: That is my vengeance.
Nob: Yes, that is my duty.
Nob: Even though I took everything from Isaburo, I couldn't cut him down.
Nob: I made him live on.
Nob: But this time, for sure, I must k*ll him.
Nob: I have to put an end to that man.
Kag: Stop right there!
Kag: That's enough.
Kag: You two have done enough.

G: You know.
In the past, Sasaki chose to uphold his pride as samurai,
deceived the Tendoshu, and lost everything.
