The rising new star of this island
Everyone's chiming in to just say
Now, get on your feet, dauntlessly
Once you grab the microphone, naturally
We're going to go wild, so check it out

Yeah, come on!
Before the time comes when there's no turning back
Let's turn things in a positive direction
If you don't take action, you won't get anywhere

Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

You were not in pain, you were not in pain
Because we fall in love, there's sadness
Yeah, come on!
You gonna feel so
Yeah, come on!
Damn it all to hell!
First I had to write out a hundred copies,
and now it's cleaning the training hall?!
You can't do anything with what you've got now.
Abandon your humanity and take up the sword.
Get out of here right now!
It's easy for them to say those things, but I...
Damn it!
What could that be? I thought I just heard something really loud.
Oh, welcome back, Mr. Yamanami.
What would you like to do about breakfast?
Oh, no, I had it at Akesato's place.
So anyway, where's the boy I've heard so much about?
Oh, if you mean the puppy that joined up,
he got an earful from Mr. Hijikata and...
Speak of the devil!
Captured!
What's going on?!
This is it, Mr. Yamanami.
Nice to meet you. Tetsunosuke Ichimura, I believe it was?
Yeah.
I am Keisuke Yamanami.
If you want, I don't mind if you casually call me Sannan.
But really...
Quite cute.
We've never had such a cute member before.
So, how old might you be, Tetsunosuke?
Ten? Eleven?
I'm fifteen.
Perhaps my glasses were a little clouded.
Not to worry, they are not clouded!
Anyone would think so, no matter who it was!
No, no, it was wrong of me to say that, Tetsunosuke.
That abacus...
You someone from bookkeeping?
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
How dare you speak that way to Mr. Yamanami?!
Well, you see, I find that calculating is soothing somehow.
You know, like when I'm just boiling with rage.
Especially at those times.
What're you all getting the shivers for?
This man is...
...one of our Shinsengumi's...
...great Vice Commanders.
Vice Commander?
WHAT?!
Tetsu?!
Where have you been all this time?!
That demonic Vice Commander took over the place while you were gone!
Hey, hey!
Don't you get it yet?!
Just apologize for your impropriety!
Apologize immediately! Apologize now! Apologize fervently!
Ow...
Now, now, Ichimura.
Listen closely. The actions of the Shinsengumi are decided through discussion
between Commander Kondo, Vice Commander Hijikata, and Vice Commander Yamanami here!
Wow, I didn't know that.
"I didn't know that" doesn't cut it!
But I would've liked it better if he were the only Vice Commander.
I wouldn't mind being a page if it was for Mr. Kondo or Mr. Yamanami.
What do you think you're saying?!
Apologize!
Why?
It doesn't matter, just apologize!
Apologize immediately! Apologize now!
It's okay, I don't mind.
Thanks to you, I've found a little courage.
Now then, I think it's about time I go say hello to Mr. Kondo.
Well then, Tetsunosuke, Tatsunosuke, I will see you later.
Thanks! See you around!
That shaved about three hundred years off my life.
But well, maybe what you said worked out, Tetsu.
I guess saying whatever you want to say is a kid's privilege?
I don't want to hear that from YOU.
But when you think about it, it's definitely funny.
In one organization,
we've got a saint of a Vice Commander and a demon of a Vice Commander.
Thus, as you can see,
the Shinsengumi is currently being run by three officers.
And what is interesting is their former commander, Kamo Serizawa.
I had my men look into it, but...
Who's there?
I've brought tea.
Pardon me.
Perhaps I had not introduced her to you yet.
She is taking care of the needs of everyone from Choshu, and...
No introduction is necessary.
A spy has no name, after all.
Oh, my, how funny.
Little me, with no merit whatsoever?
I'll tell you one thing.
Don't think about trying to erase your presence around me.
No matter who it is, I will consider them to be the enemy, and kill them.
I will be sure to keep that in mind.
Your master...
has a wonderful scent about him.
The scent of blood and guts.
No...
Master is...
Damn! How do you like that?! I'm done!
I can't do it.
You seem bored.
Ayu...
It doesn't look like Mr. Hijikata and the others are going to finish their talks anytime soon.
I don't care.
It's not like they're going to have anything big for me to do anyway.
Then would you mind running an errand for me?
A little change of pace for once, you know?
I know it's a favor for Ayu, but what the heck am I doing?
Man...
I joined the Shinsengumi because I wanted to become stronger.
And what I'm doing is just...
Oh, really! What the hell do you want?!
I'm doing some thinking...
You're the girl from...
And a one, two...
Here goes!
Sure!
You suck!
Yeah, bring it back!
I guess you made it back safe.
I was worried about you getting home okay after that.
What?
Oh, right...
Because I accidentally called out Mr. Okita's name...
Though some terrible stuff happened because of that.
Oh, no, it's nothing.
Anyway, my name's Tetsunosuke Ichimura. What about you?
Say, you...
Could it be you can't talk?
Sorry about that!
Minoki, you're good!
Oh, heck, it doesn't really matter.
Well, it's not that big a deal, right?
I see. Saya? That's a nice name.
What? Is there something on my face?
Sweet red bean paste from the bun I just bought!
Hey, you don't have to laugh.
Come on!
We're sorry!
Sorry!
Throw back the ball to us!
Sure!
Hey, come on.
Thanks a bunch!
Here goes!
There!
Say...
What kind of guy is your dad?
For some reason, I just suddenly remembered something,
from a long, long time ago.
I'll show you a neat trick, Tatsunosuke, Tetsunosuke.
What, Father?
First, from the offering box,
you take one step, two steps, three steps.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Well, you take however many steps you want away from it,
then take aim at the offering box and...
Here goes!
Mother!
Father and Tetsunosuke are playing with money!
Don't be stupid!
Listen to what your father has to say until the last!
Thus, if you shoot perfectly into the offering box,
the percentage of your wish increases.
Percentage?
Well, basically the chance of it happening.
Percentage! Percentage!
All right! Then let's give it a try!
Right!
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps, six steps,
seven steps, eight steps, nine steps, ten steps.
See, my dad was...
a weird person both in how he looked and the things he said.
I don't know where he learned them,
but he used the words of foreigners.
But because he was like that, two years ago,
he got killed by the guys crying out in favor of exclusionism.
Mom got caught in the middle of it too,
so that just left me and Tatsu.
I don't really know how it is with your family,
but it's okay to think we're better off than if we were dead, right?
Sorry for talking about stuff like this.
Saya, don't tell me...
Your family too?
Say, Saya, didn't you think you wanted to kill them right then?
With me, the man that killed Dad...
Yeah, I joined the Shinsengumi so I could bring that guy down.
But how can I become stronger?
By practicing every day in the training hall?
Or by using a bamboo sword and learning how to kill from one of the others?
But... But you see...
I haven't even done any of that!
Copying text, cleaning, and pouring tea!
That's all!
And I can't do it!
Taking lives with my own hands just to become stronger...
I can't become a demon.
Don't be ridiculous!
I joined the Shinsengumi to avenge my mother and father!
And you're telling me to just stay the way I am now?!
Sure, I know I can't become a killer!
I'll even stick it out being a page!
But I can't just stay weak!
Saya?
Saya!
But I think,
if I found out who that man is,
and he were to appear in front of me,
I'd probably...
That's pretty much what the Choshu are up to.
Yamazaki is continuing to gather more information for us.
We'll probably get the details not too far off in the future.
Then we're done talking.
Wait.
I met him. Yes, I met Tetsunosuke Ichimura.
Ah, so you met him too!
What did you think? Isn't he as cute as a puppy...
What do you intend to do with him?
The anti-Shogunate faction is becoming more active.
If he were to become wrapped up in such a bloody conflict...
You're a smart man. You can't possibly be unaware of what will happen.
Hold on a second, right now, he's Toshi's...
Do you want to make such a small child kill people?!
He will be my page forever. That should be good enough.
Mr. Kondo?
Yeah, just as Toshi said, he's still a page.
I see. I thought for sure that...
In the past, Toshi would almost certainly have given him a sword,
but for reasons unknown to me,
it seems he's absolutely against putting a sword in Tetsunosuke's hands.
I feel the same way.
But even so...
I'm thinking of giving him a uniform and his own sword.
Mr. Kondo!
I'm talking only about giving him a uniform and his own sword.
That doesn't mean I'm bringing him in as an official member.
It amounts to the same thing!
It won't be compulsory.
He'll be the one to make the choice.
That's cruel in its own way.
Do you suppose so?
I'm back!
I just don't see it that way.
As I thought.
That makes eleven.
Just how many Choshu are hiding here?
