That guy, this guy, everyone's a moron
This isn't your fantasy
Festive annoyance
What can I say, from right to left
This fleeting life is always lacking
The boring nonsense just drifts away
Leaving a curious atmosphere
No one, even him, says the same thing
What frivolous vilification
Vertically and horizontally, hands lined up
Someone else's unhappiness
We simply sneer at
It's what we live for, so why say it's stupid
I can't take it
This world is already the same after all
Always the same
The usual annoyance
Curious spectators yelling "Hooray!"
I'd rather they shut up
Hang their ears low
And close their eyelids
Unable to feel anything
As if
The sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay,
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
Admiral Perry and his lieutenant, Conte.
While the birds make music all the day.
Their target is Japan itself...
To destroy the Bakufu and take over this country.
They're using your sister as a pretext to justify their actions.
You might say, she is the flag they must fly.
That's all I know.
Thank you for telling me, Lady Okuni.
I mean, Yuki.
Don't call me that.
If you've got the energy to talk like that, you'll be fine.
Still, take it easy for a while.
You're going?
Yeah. I have to take back what was stolen.
I'm the Get-backer, after all.
I'm Roman, the second generation Nezumi Kozo.
A Showdown You Won't Believe, and a Lavish Banquet!
The guys who took Koharu are headed for Edo, where the Bakufu is.
Their leader is Perry.
A highly skilled firearms user named "Conte"
is by his side at all times.
Not to mention,
I hear their ship is overflowing with soldiers carrying modern weapons.
Is this the same Perry whose ships arrived at Uraga ten years ago?
You know about him?
Yes.
I've heard that at the time,
the Bakufu struggled a great deal in negotiating with him.
However, they said, despite being a cold man,
he was an excellent soldier.
To think he would use such methods to attempt to destroy the Bakufu...
Are you sure we can believe her?
She won't lie anymore.
Mister Helper...
What do you think, old man? Can we catch up?
Brat.
Calculating from the output of the latest
steam engines and the direction of the currents...
The enemy's current location is...
most likely, right around here.
Shimoda? They've gone that far already?
Once they pass Shimoda, Edo's not far.
Can we catch up to them?
Not unless we go by air.
So we just have to fly there.
What?!
You've got something, don't you?
Something for a time like this?
Don't hold out on me.
Yet another part of you
that's just like that fool Jirokichi.
Whoa, this is incredible!
This is the greatest masterpiece
in the long inventing career of Hiraga Gennai:
The flying machine, Ameno Torifune!
When did you have time to make this giant machine?
Completing things before you even realize it is what men do!
With this, we can catch up to Koharu!
All right! Ready to go, everyone?
Hey, old man, did you have to be so extravagant with this?
Aesthetics!
Air intake!
Pressure rising!
80%... 90%...
105%!
Um, I'm sorry to bring this up now,
but Gennai, you have taken this thing for a test flight, yes?
Nope!
We're jumping in without a rehearsal!
I thought as much!
The town looks so small!
But these are still big!
Can't we bury the kunai?
Wait for me, Koharu.
I'm coming right now!
Currently passing through Suruga Bay.
We will soon pass the Izu Peninsula and reach Sagami.
Good. Continue just like this.
Yes, sir!
What a beautiful sight...
Your radiance is perfectly suited to welcoming a shining dawn with me.
Wh-What is that?!
A light is heading toward us!
It's not on the water.
It's...
It's in the air!
Is that it?!
Princess Haru is in there?!
It's so big!
Big is good!
Ow... not.
What's that?!
That'll never hit us!
Of course, if it does, we're done for.
This is pointless.
Ammunition made for land and sea combat can't shoot that down.
Then, what shall we do?
Draw it to us until we're face to face.
Aim for the water's surface just in front of it.
The water's surface?
They won't attack from above.
I'm positive they'll come from right behind us.
They intend to board us.
You're going to crash into them?!
Would you prefer to drop on them from above?
Give it some more thought! We can't do that!
But the enemy's firing at us!
Do we have anything to fire back?
Of course not!
Even if we did, we couldn't use it.
Koharu's on that ship.
Here they come.
Fire!
Go for broke!
Yahoo!
Damn! Did they hit us?
Climb!
The front's too heavy!
Move back! Everyone move back—
When did you go over there?!
Kanade!
Yes!
Right turn!
All right! We're going up!
They didn't do that!
Pure guts!
All according to plan.
Liar!
Send one platoon to the aft deck.
I want that machine. Don't damage it.
However, as for the rats inside...
Exterminate every last one.
What?!
My God!

No!
Whoa!
No!
Whaddya think of my new "thunder and lightning" arrowheads?!
Vicious!
Go, go, go!
These annoying bastards just keep coming!
Snake eyes! Even!
What's that?
Get moving, Helper!
Huh?
Don't "Huh?" me, idiot!
Leave this to us!
Protect the spring cherry blossom!
You guys...
Thanks.
Helpers, take care of things here!
Sakura!
Admiral.
We are about to exterminate the rats on board the ship.
Things may get a bit noisy,
but we'll take care of it quickly, so you need not worry.
Picking up anything, Sakura?
Sakura?!
There's the first rat...
Sakura!
Crimson Lotus Sting!
Gennai!
I'm preparing for our comeback right now!
Look forward to it!
You are...
Mimawarigumi! Why are you...
No matter how many there are, rats are still rats.
Mister Helper, if you would.
I suppose you have no intention of saying you mistook me for a rat.
Naturally.
I'm relieved to hear that.
I recall seeing you at the Kurogane Fortress.
You're Conte, right?
Correct.
I'm Roman.
Roman the Get-backer.
Roman?
You shot Oyuki.
Oyuki? What is that?
Yeah, I guess you wouldn't know.
You don't know anything!
Mister Helper, please go on ahead.
What?!
I followed my inner voice and came here.
I now understand what I must do.
What's happened to you?
You're the one who kidnapped Koharu!
Sakura...
An assassin helping a Helper... Talk about ridiculous.
But Sakura says we can trust you.
Take care of this.
Understood.
I apologize, but I don't have time to trifle with you.
No need to worry.
I'm short on time myself.
He's an even match for me in my armor...
I won't lose...
No... I can't lose.
His dream...
is my dream!
Insolent.
Who gave you permission to board this ship?
Koharu...
I am Haru, daughter of Iesada,
the thirteenth and last shogun of the Ieyasu bloodline.
Koharu, what are you talking about?
It's me! Don't you recognize me?
Stand down, peasant.
What are you saying?
What happened to you, Koharu?!
Soon, Edo will be within sight.
The false Bakufu,
the elders who killed my father...
Shimatsu and Matsudaira,
who dared to make light of the house of the shogun...
I will purge them.
Koharu...
They turned the Bakufu into a mere puppet government.
There is no meaning in letting it continue to exist.
Once we have destroyed the false Bakufu,
I will give myself to the admiral
and become his wife.
His wife?
Our child, carrying the true blood of Tokugawa,
will create a new Bakufu that will thrive for eternity.
What did you do to Koharu, you bastard?!
I asked you what you did to her!
I won't let anyone interfere.
Not anyone.
Impossible!
How can a man of flesh and blood be so...
There's no way you can do that.
You can't...
Koharu, wake up!
Don't...
Don't let him do it!
Shining...
Dawn!
You bastard!
This country will be reborn
into a land of shining dawn, free of sadness.
With my infinite love, I will bring smiles to all the people.
Cut the bullshit!
The urge of wanting to try saving you
But for some reason, I can't express it in words right now
The various promises that I can't recall
Remain unfulfilled as night falls somewhere
And I felt utterly defenseless
If I steal something back, I plunder
That which we own will always be such things
I want to obtain everything
But by then, you're no longer with me
Once I realize it, nobody's there
Yeah, yeah. It will always be ours
Yeah, yeah. Still, that's all it is
That's just how it is
Next Time
It's terrible! Terrible!
What's the problem, Koharu?
B-B-Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman is ending next week!
Oh, is that all?
Wait, what?!
Wh-Wh-What are we gonna do?!
F-F-For now, the next Roman is:
In full bloom! A lavish banquet of s-s-smiles!
In Full Bloom! A Lavish Banquet of Smiles!
It's not enough!
