From today Takechi Sensei will be in charge of you.
Seriously! Get off me, stay away.
Rise up!
The truth is, I come from the Japan of 150 years ago.
Takechi Hanpeita?
Sure thing.
Did we risk our lives in war so that
such a rotten Japan could exist! It's unforgivable.
We've received information that a man, matching the description of the
culprit in the Tokyo murder case, has been spotted at the nearby station.
Get in!
Tora will show you the way. I'm indebted to you.
Ah shit!
Hey, have a torch.
Hey, the kids?
Er... What's going on?
Don't move!
You bastard. Taking the children, what are your intentions?
Let them go immediately.
What's with that get up. Are you messing around?
That's unimportant.
Hey, what the hell are you doing.
Don't you care what happens to the children? Of course!
Everyone bring your mobiles here.
Hurry up and do it! Yes...
You too, topknot.
I don't have anything like that. No way you don't!
It's true, as you can see he's weird so,
he doesn't have one. What's going on here.
It's one thing after the other!
We have come here to listen to your proposition.
This time, it's your turn to go along with us.
What on earth are you saying.
What are you intending to do with this situation?
The mothers have already started
Gobodou: Polite word for a strangers mother
searching for their missing children.
Eventually, everyone in the village will join the search,
and shortly thereafter you'll be strung up.
You keep blabbing on, it's annoying.
However,
if you leave here by yourself,
I won't concern myself with you any more.
Think carefully about this.
I don't know what your purpose is,
but I won't forgive involving the children.
You are kidding me?
You with your crazy getup, it's not cool you know.
He is definitely the guy who committed the murders in Tokyo.
Ah that's right.
It's been spread all over the news hasn't it.
Seriously...
I chained that guy up and stabbed him.
It's only natural that such a shitty boss should die.
Your boss.
It sounds like you had some reason. Can you please explain it to me further?
Hold on... Sure.
That bastard, even though he'd say such high and mighty things,
if it became unfavourable he'd quickly change his fucking opinion.
When someone screwed up, he'd pushed all the blame onto underlings like me.
And finally, he gave me the sack.
Who the hell did he think he is. Your kidding me.
I see.
You were rebelling against the current system weren't you.
Takechi-san!
From my position I can very well understand your circumstances.
I also previously wanted to try and change the structure of our society.
It couldn't be helped, I had to kill Toyo-sama
Toyo-sama: Yoshida Toyo an executive of the Tosa clan
What are you talking about?
You too, carrying out such sad actions in this current age.
It's a great thing to be resolved to resist your superiors.
In order to further a great cause, it is sometimes
necessary to crush the obstacles in front of you with all your might.
I never thought I'd find another man, with such a strong spirit, in this era.
Japan is not to be underestimated, is it.
However, sacrificing the children should
be in conflict with your intentions.
I will help you escape,
but you must leave the children here.
What the hell is with you?
Are you trying to catch me off guard? I thought so!
You should go to hospital.
Anyway, all it is...
is I killed an annoying guy, that's all.
It's got nothing to do with a great cause, or the era or anything.
No money and no work, it's boring.
And so...and so
isn't it more fun to kill some annoying guy?
What's so funny!
The young people have no goals,
living each day idling away,
living only for their desires.
In the midst of this, I thought I'd found someone with a strong spirit but,
you're nothing but a petty criminal.
Shut up you crazy bastard. Waving around that knife,
if you want to be heard,
the only thing that's effective is your own skill.
I, Takechi Hanpeita will be your opponent.
What are you saying? You have been prattling on
about killing for a while now.
What the...?
This is bad!
I'm saying come at me, do you hear me?
Shut up! I'll kill them.
Using the children as a shield is pathetic.
If you want to kill someone, try me.
Stop already.
You're just deluding yourself that you're actually a samurai.
You think a man holding a broken stick is scary?! You coward.
As you wish, I'll kill you.
Coward.
As I thought, he was all talk.
However, for challenging me despite being a mere amateur, you have my praise.
Sis, the police. Yes!
The forest behind the convenience store. Yep I'll go straight away.
I'll contact the prefectural police... Just a mo...
Saeki-kun, I've heard everything.
I'm heading over there now too. Excuse me. Yes.
Are you hurt?
You boys have caused a right fuss, say something.
It's fine.
You boys are quite shaken up aren't you.
Anyhow, I'm glad that you're safe.
Why did you come to rescue us?
You even got hurt.
It's only natural that adults should protect children.
Your mothers are worried about you. Quickly let them know they're safe.
Sensei.
Hey! Men don't cry over such a small thing.
Of course they would. Even I'm still shaking.
Pa... pathetic, right.
Even you, your legs are trembling aren't they.
No they're not.
Is your forehead okay?
Ah, he missed my eye, so it's no big matter.
If you hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened to the children.
If I hadn't been there...
What is it?
I see that's what it is! What's this all of a sudden?
Perhaps I was brought to this time,
in order to save them.
I think I may be able to return home now. Haruka-dono and Toranosuke.
You're dropping the honorifics with just me? I'm going, I leave the children to you.
You're going? Where?
It's obvious. Back to the Keiou Era.
Please wait. You're talking about that again?
Sensei where are you going?
You boys. Listen carefully to what your parents and superiors tell you.
Pursue your studies diligently and you'll be a credit to the country.
No, but, well... The police will be here soon.
They'll want to ask all sorts of questions and if the you're not here...
Tell them whatever you'd like. Whatever I like...
However, don't mention my name.
It will make the situation complicated.
In any case, no one will believe it.
Well, how should we explain this?
You both take credit for it.
How absurd. Farewell.
Please give my regards to Saeki-dono.
Sensei! Wait, Takechi-san!
Home... With this I'll return home!
No matter what fate awaits me,
I want to rest my bones in the era I belong in.
To the rise of the Tosa loyalist party!
With my risen comrades, to make our will as one.
And return to Tomiko's side.
I will, without fail, return to Tosa.
The Bakumatsu period was a perilous time for the nation of Japan.
The patriots of prominent domains were rising up and
putting their lives on the line in battle.
After approximately 150 years,
how would this country's transformed appearance be reflected in their eyes.
This is the story of a certain patriot of the Bakumatsu,
who became lost in the Heisei world.
Heavens! I've completed my task.
Please return me!
Samurai Sensei subtitles by Osa Kyoudai
Okay, so when you reached the hut,
the man was already collapsed?
Yes...
Did you see anyone
leaving the scene? No, not particularly...
What about you guys? Maybe you remember what kind of person came?
It was scary, so I closed my eyes. Me too.
Someone came and defeated the bad man didn't he.
The identity of the mysterious man
who saved the children, is still unknown.
The police are waiting on the recovery of the suspect, who was taken to hospital.
Well, well, well.
It's become quite the uproar.
Indeed! Saeki sensei, isn't...
Isn't that your grandson?
Ah, no... Hey, you!
No, erm... What can I say...
Erm... Has something happened boss?
Coming here especially.
Well, I thought I'd come and hear the details about what happened
at the deserted house yesterday. What?
Ah, you see, it seems this picture was uploaded to
the town hall home page, and since then
press interview requests have flooded in.
Did you upload it yourself... Yes.
Saeki-kun, do you really not know anything about the hero
who took down the criminal?
Erm... yes.
Could it be...
It wasn't Takechi-san was it?
Er why?
Takechi, you mean that suspicious samurai?
Yes. The truth is, I haven't seen him since yesterday.
Could it be his comrade got captured so he escaped?
No, Takechi isn't that kind of person...
When he discovered the children's whereabouts
he went to find the abandoned house
with Haruka and Toranosuke following after him?
Isn't that right Haruka?
Yes, the person who saved the children was Takechi-san.
Ah, no, no, no, no way...
It's true.
The criminal argued with him and then attacked him with a knife
he defended with a wooden stick.
Ah... I can't believe the hero is that topknot guy...
Why have you been silent until now?
Takechi-san asked us not to tell anyone.
Okay I understand.
Let's not say a word about this to anyone.
But before long the criminal will talk to the police won't he,
eventually it'll become known.
The police will take no notice of him if
he says something nonsensical like he was taken down by a samurai.
Where is Takechi-san?
Well, he said he was going back to his own era.
Going back, that's...
I wonder if he's okay.
Yes, I think this is good. I'll take it.
Thank you very much.
For your next material, have you hit on anything?
I thought we could look into this.
Ah, yes yes. The mysterious hero everyone's making a fuss about.
Yes. Actually I've got an appointment to do an interview.
What? That's pretty proactive.
Well there's something I'm a little curious about.
This is where I regained consciousness yesterday.
I thought that if I went to sleep
in the same place, I could return home.
Hey sis!
Did you see! I was totally on the TV.
No seriously I've been getting tons of interest on Line and stuff.
Am I like a celebrity?
Could it possibly be that Takechi-san really did come from the past?
What? And so maybe
he really has returned to the past.
Well in that case, good. He was a pain in the neck.
Let's celebrate!
Ah welcome! Here we are.
It's unusual for you two to come together.
Beer! Hold up, you're got your moped haven't you.
Oolong tea. Yes, 2 oolong tea's.
It's fine, I can ask someone to drive for me.
So self-important, you don't even have work
By the way. Is there someone you can ask anyway?
Your oolong tea's.
Whoa!
Wha... What are you doing?
I'm helping Rio-san with her bar.
I said it was no problem, but he said he had to repay the favour.
Wha... why? Rather, what happened?
The truth is, after we parted ways...
Heavens!
I've completed my task! Please take me home!
Ah... if I bathe in the light I'll be taken back to my time...
Shit, shit, shit, shit...
Are... Are you alright?
Ah Peita-senpai?
And so, since he had nowhere to go,
I said he could spend the night in the car.
Lame!
You looked so self satisfied. You even said "Farewell".
Ah he said that! "Give my regards to Saeki-dono" as well!
He left like that and has come straight back.
Furthermore "Your tea" he said.
You!
Peita-senpai, you look scary. S... m... ile!
I'm sorry Rio-dono. After all, I am a samurai.
I can't do service work.
I did say you didn't have to.
I won't forget the favour.
I will leave this town. Farewell.
Ah... Hold up. Now's not a good time.
Outside it's swarming with the media. Media?
That's right. If they discovered a pervert like you
you'd be photographed and humiliated on TV.
I'd go into the picture box...
Today, time-warping in from the Bakumatsu era
here comes Takechi Hanpeita-san.
Here he is.
Please!
It's hell...
So, until it calms down place stay put here.
I have a room upstairs. Peita-senpai, are most welcome.
But I can't impose on you any more than I already have...
Rio-chan!
I brought someone from the Tokyo media.
Welcome. Ah Welcome.
Please this way. Yes.
What are you doing? Ah, nothing in particular.
In the back. I'm grateful.
Rio-chan. Yes.
Ruby TwoCaps Ruby TwoCaps
Beer's called "Ruby" isn't it, in business circles.
Ah well, I don't think it's used like that.
It's used isn't it?
Hello, welcome.
Rio-chan, Saki-san is a reporter with "Weekly Just"
He saw my picture and
promptly contacted me about an interview.
Ah I see. So I guess you're looking for the hero
who took down the criminal? Er, well.
But, there's something else I'm interested in.
What? Something else your interested in? Yes.
I'm looking for
the Samurai in this picture...
That's... Would any of you happen to know anything?
I know nothing about him.
I heard this supermarket is the one in this town.
Now you say it, that may be so.
So is this going to be a combined article?
Erm, why are you looking for that weird man?
I'm just a little curious about him.
What?
What is this stink?
What are you doing here?
Sensei, you're really here! I wanted to see you again.
Sensei! Sensei!
You guys. Your mother's will be
worried about you again. You should head back home.
Ah... okay.
See you later Sensei! See you later.
Yes.
Since your here,
you didn't manage to time-leap again did you.
Let's not talk about that any more.
Later.
Yes.
You were at the cram school.
I'm Yuna Shinohara.
Sensei, this way. Yes?
Take a seat. Sure.
Why are you here? Well this is my home.
Ah, I see. You're Rio-dono's daughter.
It's amazing right. She had me when she was just 16.
It's not particularly something to be surprised about.
Hmmm. Everyone is surprised though.
Ah Sensei I heard. You rescued Tsubochi and Kento.
Ah, I told them not to say anything.
It's amazing. I heard the person you took out was
like a professional killer.
Pardon? What's that?
Mum loves that kind of thing I've seen lots of DVDs.
D... V...
Generally they're about a Samurai champion for justice
who hides his true self and fights evil.
Ah, divine punishment!
Does that still happen now?
Er.. umm... yes. It's seems to be fairly popular.
I see, so there are still people around with a strong spirit.
Ah, it's good!
What! So Takechi-sensei is at Rio-chan's place?
Yes.
I see, that's good.
Yes?
We've told you already we refuse.
Heh, what is it? Another interview request.
Ah... Yep, I'm cool!
Ah... it's pointless.
They're not talking to us at all.
This address is...
Don't you know?
The people here were the one's first at the scene.
Ah!
A press conference? Yes, that's right.
The press are flooding in.
Today, in front of the town hall, we'll hold a press conference.
I'll leave you to sort it. You say that but...
Ah, here it is!
This, this, this!
Saeki-kun would you stand behind me
in dancing costume?
Yes?! Why do you want...
It's to promote our special products.
We have to promote this area more.
Well, that's true but...
But using the incident to do that is...
What are you saying. Today, the eyes of all Japan
are focused on our town.
Now is our chance to instantly raise our popularity.
Our chance! Well, I'll leave the preparation to you.
I can't go back to my time.
The situation with the children wasn't it.
So then, what should I do.
Or will I never be able to return.
Will I never be able to see Tomiko again.
Good morning.
Peita-senpai. It's fine, you don't have to clean.
You've been good to me so I want to help if I can.
I... What's with those clothes!
Ah, my pajamas.
Wearing something so shameless in front of a man.
Err, I guess. I thought I was being quite conservative today.
What is it?
Could that be... possibly... a bra?
That's right...
It's for hiding the breasts.
And I...
What on earth did I do!
Rio-dono, would you please tell me, where can I find Haruka-dono.
Err... I think she's at the local council offices.
Where is that?
If you go straight down Yamatoya road, it's the building at the end.
Super clean.
Haruka-dono!
I'll just be a moment.
Do have some business with me?
Could you be, the media fellow?!
Ah... yes, that's right.
Insolent man!
You want to have me publicly shamed!
Hand it over right away.
Ah... I can't hand over my trade tools.
This man... he's skilled. Hey, what are you doing?
Ah. Haruka-dono.
Please come here. Quickly!
What are you doing showing yourself in such a public place!
I just had to come and apologise to you.
Apologise?
About the bra.
What?
It's for hiding your breasts isn't it.
What's this all of a sudden...
I touched your bra, and even sniffed the bra...
Whoa whoa whoa. Your saying bra too much.
I'm sorry!
It's an outrageous disgrace to an innocent young woman.
I said it's fine.
If you wish it,
I, Takechi Hanpeita will cut open my stomach in
apology for the bra...
No, it's fine already.
For the time being, just hide yourself in here.
I'll go look for a way to get you out of here.
No, Haruka-dono...
Is this a... demon?
Can a person be put inside it?
Saeki-kun, are you ready?
The press conference is about to start soon.
Saeki-kun.
Saeki-kun?
Ah, you're all ready aren't you.
Yes, it's just perfect.
It really suits you.
It's no problem is it, doing this.
What is this man? It's sickening!
Right, let's go...
Saeki-kun...
Well, who are you...
Erm... he's a part-time worker. A friend of my brother.
Ah, I see...
Well, it's time, so let's go.
Yes, you too, Mr part-timer. Quickly, quickly.
Yes, this way, this way. Yes, it's this way.
Yes, yes. Here.
Rushing onto the scene,
seeing the criminal was about to move,
my body moved automatically.
Even though he was a murderer
and it was terrifying,
it was like I was in a trance.
There's a rumour that you're the hero
that saved the children and took down the suspect Hashimoto.
Eh? Me, the hero?
Is that the truth of the matter?
No, no, that I'd...
It's not true?
Supposing that I were the hero who saved the children.
Even though that's the natural thing to do,
I couldn't possible take credit for it.
Please excuse me.
Komiyama-san please wait.
Is it okay to say you're the hero
who took down the criminal and saved the children?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
This is a welcome development.
With this I will undoubtedly be the top candidate in the next local elections.
What... then the mayor?
No, no, a member of the prefecture assembly.
Could I possibly be aiming for the prefectural governor seat?
Err... Chief
But taking the credit for someone else's actions is a little...
I didn't take it.
It's just the idea of the hero "Komiyaman" that has sprouted in peoples hearts.
That's all it is. "Komiyaman" you say.
And besides, this is for the sake of the town.
The town has a hero. Just that is something to be proud of.
You should be happy that Komiyaman is your boss!
Komiyaman's friend!
We have to get this framed as soon as possible.
What's with the "Komiyaman." The old pervert.
Komiyaman's a weakling.
Haruka-dono, can I ask you something?
What is it?
Why is it you let Komiyama-dono touch your buttocks?
What? You wish to curry favour with him
in order to achieve a higher status than you have.
What on earth are you saying?
No, don't take offense.
It's a normal thing for a woman to do.
It's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm just a little relieved to realise that
that that way of doing things hasn't changed from the past.
Insolent women! What are you doing!
You're the insolent one.
Talking all high and mighty even though you don't understand a thing.
Being around you truly makes me feel bad
Please get out of this town at once.
What is with this Hachikin!
Hachikin: name given to strong, self-reliant women.
Peita-senpai. That was pretty awful.
Haruka isn't trying to curry favour with her boss.
What? What is it then?
It's difficult finding work in small towns like this.
So, to a small degree, one has to put up with
things your boss does like that.
No, wait.
So Haruka wasn't allowing her buttocks to be touched through her own free will.
Of course she wasn't.
Poor Haruka, having to put up with that
and also you saying she was currying favour.
I'm home. Welcome back.
Sorry to intrude.
Gramps, why is he...
Eh? What? Do you know Narasaki-san?
We met yesterday at the bar.
But I have a feeling that I may have met her somewhere...
I see. You're Saeki-san's granddaughter.
Hello.
Didn't you meet Haruka about a year ago?
Only to the extend of introductions...
Eh... One year ago?
Don't you remember? About a year ago, he collapsed in front of our house.
He stayed with us for a night.
Ah, the mysterious homeless man.
Hey, hey! Ah, excuse me.
No, no, it's no problem.
At the time I truly was like a homeless person.
Erm, so what brings you back here?
A certain Samurai.
I thought that Saeki-san might know something.
And so the person called Takechi Hanpeita
he was here.
Why did you tell him?
Somehow...
I feel like he's someone I can trust.
What... Good grief...
Ah, one moment.
Yes, this is Saeki.
Saeki-kun, please save me.
What's the matter?
That man is outside our offices.
That man?
The samurai. The samurai with a top knot.
Komiyama! Get out here!
I wish to talk with you.
If you don't come out, I will come to you!
He's really angry.
Saeki-kun, I'm begging you, save me.
Well, I don't know what I can do...
This is an order from your boss! Come here immediately.
What is that, enough.
Haruka? I'm heading out for a bit.
Komiyama!
That top knot, he's out of his flipping mind.
Chief Komiyama.
At last we meet, Komiyama.
I am terribly sorry. Taking credit for what you did.
Credit? What are you talking about?
The fact I took credit for rescuing the children
isn't that why you're angry?
I have no idea what your talking about... I don't care about that.
Eh? So... why?
It seems you have a habit of patting Haruka-dono's buttocks.
What?
Well! Do you pat her buttocks?
I do, I do.
It's all about skin-ship.
Skin-ship? Explain it in a way I can understand!
In order for us to have a close relationship,
it's sort of like a greeting.
A greeting? A greeting is bowing one's head.
I'm sorry.
Even though so many years have passed, there are still rotten officials in Japan.
The upper level samurai don't think of the lower level samurai as human beings.
The Tosa warrior class system.
If a woman is found to be the daughter of a lower class samurai,
they indulge in her as they will, treating her just like prostitute.
How many people have shed tears over this?
What on earth are you talking about.
Using your difference in status as a shield you humiliate this woman..
What you've done is a terrible deed.
It deserves certain death!
No, that's an exaggeration.
An exaggeration?
Do you know how much your actions have injured Haruka-dono?
Do you understand the human heart?
Men that injure women are not qualified to live.
Please wait!
Haruka-dono.
Please don't interfere.
But...
Your help is not necessary. It's a bother.
Do you think this kind of thing is good?
An attack under the cover of dark is still popular isn't it.
There's no way that kind of thing is popular.
Rio-dono's daughter told me that Rio-dono likes it.
I don't really understand but...
please don't do things as you please again.
But why? It's reasonable to chastise Komiyama
and make him apologise to you.
I haven't done anything wrong.
That's true but... Nowadays, you can't beat with a stick
people that you can't stomach.
Does that mean they are permitted to touch a woman's buttocks?
That's not okay either but...
So why do you allow him to do it?
Are you not contradicting yourself?
Look here, I, myself want to hit him hard.
But I'm trying my hardest, so that somehow things will go well
with a man that I detest.
Everyone tries to do their best in that way.
If everyone was like you, selfishly indulging their own whims
this era couldn't exist.
You said that it couldn't be helped,
you had to kill someone.
But isn't that the same as that murderer?
I can't go along with your way of thinking anymore.
What's the matter?
I can you covey my regards to Saeki-dono.
What?
I'm leaving here tomorrow.
I am much obliged to you Haruka-dono too.
I am much obliged to you Rio-dono.
Sensei! Samurai Sensei!
What do you want?
The children told me what happened.
You saved my son, I am really, really grateful. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Saeki-dono, what is it? This fuss.
Everyone had to give their thanks to Takechi Sensei, no matter what.
Just taking down a minor villain brandishing a kitchen knife
doesn't warrant this kind of...
In this so called modern era
it's rare to find a person
with courage to face
up to a man brandishing a knife.
Takechi Sensei is a real hero.
What's a hero?
What do you plan to do from now on?
I...
If you are thinking of returning to the past
I think that this town
is the place where you should stay.
After all, this is the place you were sent to
and it's your only point of contact with the past.
If you wouldn't mind, would you once more
come to the cram school, and take charge of the children, Takechi Sensei.
We want you too. Please.
Sensei please.
Peita-senpai.
Sensei.
I'm grateful.
Would you take care of me for a while longer.
Hurray!
Sensei, Tsubochi and Kento have prepared this as thanks.
I would like Sensei to eat this.
Ready and... Voila.
I'm telling you, it was a samurai with a topknot
that took me down. There's no way that's right.
The password has been released.
A Heisei memorial.
Ujie-san, what shall we do about this topknot samurai story.
Don't let it get out.
Here you go.
What is this?
Please have a bath.
Because you're dirty.
Takechi
There's a gap! Ouch!
Insolent man!
Let's go, let's go.
That man is...
Where did you disappear too?
I'm here.
What business do you have with me?
Who are you?
Why, are you using the name Takechi Hanpeita?
I am Takechi Hanpeita.
The real Takechi Hanpeita.
What kind of idiot are you...
Nobody believes me, but it's the truth.
One day I suddenly dropped into this world.
I don't believe it...
That kind of thing can happen.
Do you remember this face.
You're...it can't be...
Is it Aza?
Are you also the real Agi?
I don't believe it.
Agi! Aza!
Agi! The real Aza?
What is this? Why are you here?
You too, why are you looking like this?
Why? Agi! Aza!
Agi!
I'm sorry, you're busy.
