Mr. Okita!
Tetsu! Hey, wait!
Move! Move, move, move, move, move, move, move!
Hey...
Don't space out walking in the middle of the road, you moron!
What?
I'm very sorry about that. He's still only a child.
I don't know who you might be, but I'm his elder brother.
For my sake, please forgive him.
Hey, Tetsu!
If not the middle, where the heck am I supposed to walk?
Hello, there!
Who the hell are you?!
I'm Tetsunosuke Ichimura! I came to join the Shinsengumi!
Came to join us?
Hey, you! The notice board!
Hold it, hold it, hold it! Who said you could go in?!
Let go! It says you're recruiting members right here, doesn't it?!
It says, "seeking those who wish to serve their country wholeheartedly"!
You read well for a brat.
Maybe you can read, but you can't hide your age.
We'll let you join up in another five years. Okay, Shorty?
Who are you calling Shorty?!
I've been listening and you've called me a brat and a shorty!
Is that any way to speak to a youth with noble aspirations?!
Oh, no!
I'm fifteen! Remember that!
Where's Captain Harada?
We have a message from the Second Unit.
The location is on Kiyamachi Street, near the Sanjo Kobashi Bridge.
About five or six people.
Don't let the Second Unit beat us to it!
Tenth Unit moving out!
Yeah!
Sirs, we are sorry to have troubled the both of you!
You know,
you're about the only idiot who'd pick a fight with the Shinsengumi.
Leave me alone.
Why are you so hung up about this?
The Shinsengumi's nothing but a group of murderers.
You were just lucky today.
You keep this up and you'll really end up dying on a sword.
That's all fine and good for you, Tatsu.
You're going to be a member of the Shinsengumi starting tomorrow.
As a bookkeeper. Just an abacus warrior.
Come on, Tetsu, take my advice.
If you want to become stronger, there are training halls everywhere.
Don't join up there. It won't suit you.
Then what the heck am I supposed to do?!
Are you going to avenge our dad with your abacus?!
Are you going to be able to fight a Choshu clansman like that?!
Tetsu...
I want to become strong!
If I'd been strong that time...
Tetsu...
You are actually a great man.
Japan is about to change greatly.
It will surely be an era of chaos.
You should...
become a peacemaker.
Peace... maker?
Here.
Fetch!
You there.
Are you all right?
Why you...
You're just a pig! You've got some nerve tackling me!
What's your problem?
You look like a piggy bank! I'll just eat you!
Ow! Leggo!
Ow, that hurts!
Come now, they've brought the tea out. Please help yourselves.
Thank you so much. You didn't have to go to such lengths for us...
Hey, Tetsu!
I am so sorry for what happened.
Hey, Saizo, you should also apologize!
Oh, no, not after you've treated us...
Will you still not forgive us?
Or did someone pick on you?
Like the Wolves of Mibu?
So, that's it then.
If you have something you wish to say to them, I could introduce you.
You want to join the Shinsengumi, right?
You're so honest, it's written all over your face.
Well, then, shall we go?
Where?
To the training hall.
People who wish to join must first pass a test.
I have some acquaintances there, so I will do you a favor and ask them.
All right!
What will you do when you get to the training hall?
Well, then,
I'm gonna beat the famous genius swordsman, Souji Okita, and send him...
brawling!
That's "sprawling," you idiot.
Oh, right!
It's real training!
Excuse me!
Has anyone seen Mr. Kondo?
Mr. Kondo...
Surely he doesn't mean the Commander...
Mr. Kondo!
Honestly! More training again today?
You haven't played with me recently, so it's been really boring!
What's this? It's the middle of the day and you're already drunk?
Oh, Commander, that boy over there apparently wants to join up.
Well, Tetsu, Tatsu, good luck.
Wanting to fight against Souji is an admirable wish for a whelp.
So, what do you plan to do if you win against Souji?
Sir, I'll become the strongest man in Japan
and cut and slash and chop the despicable Choshu!
Oh-ho...
Tetsu!
Weren't you...
Sir, I signed on just today and my name is Tatsunosuke Ichimura.
Tetsunosuke here is my younger brother,
and I beg that you forgive his rude behavior.
Someone, lend him your protectors!
Hurray!
Thank you for waiting.
First Unit Captain, Souji Okita.
Pleased to meet you, Tetsu.
Is this for real?!
From the look on your face,
I see you haven't forgotten that you said you would send me sprawling.
Of course not!
I'll defeat you and join the Shinsengumi!
This is bad... This is bad, Tetsu!
Tetsu, you won't defeat me like that.
Damn it!
Face!
Body!
Wrist!
Ow...
I'm not finished yet!
That's no good.
If you play the one-trick-pony,
your opponent will see right through you.
Tetsu...
Please, Commander! Please make them stop already!
That whelp's doing pretty well for himself.
Man, it's hot!
Hey, Susumu!
Thanks for your hard work!
What's that over there?
A Shinsengumi hopeful, looks like.
Whoops.
Stop, Tetsu!
I can't win if I just keep going like this.
I need to set up some kind of secret plan.
That's enough...
I more than understand how you feel now,
so let's end it here for today and go home.
Okay, Tetsu?
Tatsu, hand me another bamboo sword!
Jikishin Two-Sword Style Ultimate Technique!
What a racket.
Yamazaki, what's going on?
Sir, it appears to be a Shinsengumi hopeful.
Some boy named Tetsunosuke Ichimura.
Ichimura?
He is sparring with Master Okita.
Fool...
He's going to die.
Hey, a two-sword style!
He really is an interesting boy.
Now, how will he come at me...
So your younger brother uses a two-sword style!
Well, that is...
Shadow Turning!
First, he'll try a standard frontal blow from the right.
Which means, next will come a blow to the body from the left.
Are you done already, Tetsu?
Not yet!
He's changed his stance. That stance is...
Tennen Risshin Style, Hiraseigan!
Here I come!
Don't, Tetsu!
Tetsu!
It's the same. It's those eyes...
Those eyes...
Am I going to lose to them again?
Hang in there!
Tetsu...
Hey!
Damn it...
It's over.
No, not yet.
Not yet.
I can't lose yet.
Tetsu!
This man...
What are you doing, you brat?!
Souji, how many times have you done this?!
I'm sorry.
Tetsu, are you okay?
Splendid, Tetsunosuke! Well done!
I'm sure you'll do admirably here!
I can sign on?!
No.
Why not, Toshi?!
We don't need whelps. Nor weaklings.
Why not?! I haven't lost yet!
Let me try again! Come on!
It'll be the same no matter how many times you try.
You won't learn the sword of vengeance.
Sword of vengeance...
I got scolded by Mr. Hijikata.
He said, "Souji, when will you learn to be more prudent?!"
I'm such a dangerous guy, aren't I?
It doesn't bother me.
Actually, I was happy you took me seriously.
Tetsu, who do you want to avenge?
How did you know?
Because your eyes looked incredibly desperate.
I saw...
Those eyes that I remember and your face overlapped, and...
When I thought of how weak I am, I just couldn't stand it!
I want to grow stronger and...
Were we so alike? He and I?
You said you were going to exact revenge.
For that purpose, could you abandon everything, even your humanity?
For that purpose, would you fear nothing, even demons?
I will defeat them.
Very well.
Then I shall give you some useful information.
Around the time of the Dog,
hide along the path next to Wachigaiya in Shimabara.
You are sure to see what Mr. Hijikata meant by his words.
Aren't they just sublime, these night cherry blossoms?
I just had to see them tonight in your company.
Is that so?
But they say cherry blossoms are most beautiful when they're scattering.
My, you are such an awful man.
But that's what I love about you, Vice Commander Hijikata.
Toshizo Hijikata?!
What if I am?
Damn Shogunate dog!
Mr. Hijikata!
That was quite a performance.
Please have mercy...
For a clansman you fell in love with?
You bastard! Damn you for killing Omitsu!
Tetsu, are you hurt at all?
Why?
We knew everything.
That the Choshu were going to use a woman to ambush Mr. Hijikata.
Brat, if you don't understand, I'll tell you.
The only thing you'll learn here is how to be a demon.
I will become Tetsunosuke Ichimura of the Shinsengumi.

When I become a member of the Shinsengumi...
Tea.
I'll become Japan's greatest swordsman and...
Sweeping.
That's not it!
Next time, Chapter 2: "Will"
I'll show you when I'm at my coolest!
