You Look Like Takeda Shingen!
Nothing like that!
During a festive tournament among members of the Shieikan
Kondo Isami officially became the fourth dojo owner of the Tennen Rishin Ryu school.
Soon after, he met an old acquaintance, Sakamoto Ryoma,
who was now in the Tosa royalist faction.
The Tosa clan will take power into their own hands!
In all parts of Japan, anti-foreign parties began attacking foreigners
and eliminate key government officials.
Our motto is "there will be no foreigners In Japan"!
Are you going to expel all the foreigners?
We will go even further - we will try to cut them all!
You can't be part of such a group!
If you want... well, let's get out.

(Natto is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of fermented soy beans) Harada-San, you don't like natto?
Yes, you can eat my portion.
Wow, that's amazing...
(May 5, 1862) It's the only thing I don't eat.
(May 5, 1862) Why? It's delicious.
They don't eat natto in my country.
Don't they eat natto in Matsuyama?
I only found out about this dish in Edo.
Many Western provinces do not prepare natto.
It looks like some kind of rot to me.
It's the rot that gives natto a good taste.
In my family, natto was often sprinkled with sugar.
What ? Did you eat beans with sugar?
Did you hear that?
I can't believe it.
There is nothing strange about this.
In Tama, we sometimes made natto with soy flour.
What ?
The head of the dojo is having Breakfast with freeloaders.
Why don't you eat?
I've never heard of natto with soy flour.
Maybe only your family did that.
No, they did it everywhere! Gen-San, why are you silent?
Anyway, I've never heard of it.
Was it only in our family that they did this?
I apologize.
Wait for me, I'll be right there.
Well.
It's todo-San!
Good to see you.
The dojo is closed today, so we decided to train together.
Have you had Breakfast yet?"
Would you like to join us?
But...
Please bring him the device.
Now.
Another guest?
All they do is eat.
They are nothing but trouble.
But this is how guests should be greeted.
Don't you understand?
Instead of free space in the room and food,
when the owner of the house gets into trouble, they will help him, no matter what.
That's what it means to be a guest.
I read all this.
Yamanami-San, what is happening in Kyoto now?
It becomes dangerous to live there.
Proponents of the doctrine of "Sleepo Zei", in the name of the Emperor, show aggression towards foreigners.
And lately, many of the ronins who have appeared in the city are clearly overzealous in their pursuit of strangers.
Was there any great excitement?
Have you heard about the incident in Terada ya?
What happened there?
Radicals from Satsuma, made at a fraction of the Cavaliers,
they planned to kill Sakai-sama, an influential person in Kyoto, and gathered in Terada-ya in Fushimi.
However, their opponents, also from Satsuma, attacked the hotel, and a major battle took place.
Members of the same clan fought each other?
Yes, both sides belonged to the Satsuma clan.
They seem to be overreacting.
What will happen now?
I don't even have a General idea...
Thanks.
I remember that you wanted to study history.
Raisane-Sensei's book, "Unofficial history of Japan".
I accept this book with gratitude.
Do you know about Kiyokawa Hachiro?
Kiyokawa?
Ronin from Deva, Kiyokawa Hachiro.
He formed the "Kobe-no-Kai".
It is written as "tiger's Tail".
He was also a follower of Hokushin ITTO Ryu, so we know each other.
First of all, eliminate Harris's assistant, Heusken!
I remembered him.
He instigated the attack on Heusen-San.
Would you like to know what he's talking about?
I was going to meet him soon.
I don't like foreigners.
But the murder of Minister Li and the persecution of foreigners only add to the chaos.
Members of Kobi-no-Kai believe that if the Shogunate's policy does not change soon,
the country has no future.
That is why they seek to force the government to change its domestic and foreign policy.
Kondo-San. You are a good samurai.
The fact that you are still only the owner of the dojo is a shame.
Yamanami-San, I'm sorry, but I'm just a samurai.
Sorry to be rude.
But as a samurai, don't you want to change the Shogunate?
To start a policy of expulsion of aliens.
Even the Emperor, despite his loyalty to the Shogunate, wants to get rid of foreigners as quickly as possible.
I understand your feelings, but I can't help you.
This is not true. Please come with me to one of the meetings.
As you know, I work in Kobusho.
I also have to manage my dojo.
I'm very busy. I'm sorry.
You think?
I'm serious.
Want to study here?
After talking to Kondo-Sensei this morning, my desire only strengthened.
He's an incredible person.
What made you think that?
He remembers my name!
I only saw him once!
Is that all?
My teacher still doesn't remember my name.
How does he address you?
"You!", or " Hey!", or "second from the right".
Our teacher remembers the names of all the dogs on the street.
Am I worse than a dog, it turns out?
We don't mind taking you in, but...
What will your teacher say?
Give this to Matsudaira-sama, please.
If you become an instructor at the Kobusho dojo, the Tennen Rishin Ryu school will become incredibly popular.
You will be the pride of the Kondo family.
I will do my best to make it so.
Take this with you.
And may it bring you good luck.
But it costs a lot of money.
Not as much as you think.
But we're in financial trouble right now.
This is for my son's success.
What is a scroll or two?
I wish you success.
You're doing a great job.
I'm not going to fight.
I'm only going to pay my respects.
Don't overdo it.
I was thinking about the name we would give the child.
If it's a boy, we'll call him Tamao of Tam.
If it's a girl, it's just Tama.
It's time to move on.
Have a good trip.
Are you going to the ito dojo?
I'm going to say there that Heiske is coming to us.
Nagakura-San, I would like you to come too.
Me?
Do you have time?
Okay, but how can I help if I go?
Should I go too?
Can you portray Kondo-Sensei?
It will be more solid if everything looks like Kondo-Sensei himself came to ask for Heisuke.
Then it will be easier for my teacher to accept my departure.
You have to be honest about these things.
We must not deceive anyone.
I will gladly go as a representative of the dojo.
Let me help you.
Ask you.
Okay...
What is the name of the owner of your dojo?
Ito Okura-Sensei.
After training Shindo Munen Ryu in MiTo he arrived in Edo
and under the guidance of an old Sensei, ito Seichiro, he began to study Hokushin ITTO Ryu.
Then he was adopted by them, and soon became the head of the dojo.
Mom, can you wait for the cleaning?
I want to dust it first.
I don't want to hear it.
What is this stuff?
Powders Of ISIS.
This is what Hijikata-San has left from the time when he traded.
He doesn't sell them anyway... throw it away.
Should I ask Hijikata-San first?
Don't do anything while he's gone.
It's not worth talking about.
You decide whether to leave or not.
But I can't let you go to another dojo.
Especially if you are going to learn a different style.
Make an exception, please!
Don't you want to get a Hokushin ITTO Ryu diploma?
Do you want to start learning a different style from scratch?
Please let me go!
Stop talking.
I'm Nagakura Shinpachi from the Shieikan dojo.
You yourself first received "Menko Kaiden" Shindo Munen Ryu, and then began to study from scratch Hokushin ITTO Ryu.
Why remember the past?
Don't want empty conversations?
Dojo instructor Shieikan, Okita Soji, will fight one of your students.
If Okita wins, you release todo Heiske.
Are you an instructor at your age?
Yes.
Either you are a true master of the sword, or Shieikan is weak.
Don't you want to try it out?
Kano-kun, fight him.
Obey.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I told you how to do it.
I couldn't mix it all up on my own.
(shamisen is a three-stringed musical instrument) She is the daughter of the owner of the shamisen store, and is patronized by Tamejiro-San.
I don't want to marry anyone.
I know, but Tamejiro-San would be happy, you know?
It must be a boy.
Why do you think that?
I just feel it.
I think it's a boy, too.
Sorry for interrupting. A visitor came to Sensei.
Kobusho Dojo"
I've been waiting for you, Kondo-Dono.
Kobusho's dojo needs just such a person.
You should watch the training today, and then give me your opinion.
Your words are a great honor.
Today I will make up my opinion about the students.
Well. This Is Sasuke Tadasaburo.
He will help you in this matter.
I'm thinking of making Kondo-San an instructor in Kobusho.
Wonderful.
This is a small gift.
Condo-Dono, it is not necessary to give me anything.
I evaluate a person only by their personal qualities.
There is one really important thing.
This is your business, Kondo-Dono.
Please forgive me.
Please look at the training today.
You must leave it.
He didn't want to accept the gift in front of me. They'll come for him later.
Tennen Rishin Ryu...
Yes.
I have heard that this style was invented for military operations.
Yes.
Let me give you some advice.
Don't expect much from Kobusho.
I think you should see for yourself.
That's the way things are.
There is almost no training as such.
They lost all desire to improve their skills long ago.
These "disciples" do not have the slightest manifestation of true fighting spirit.
And students do not recognize the authority of the instructor.
There is!
He did it!
This is my younger brother, Toshizo.
He was a drug dealer and now teaches in Sheikan.
My name is Hijikata Toshizo.
This is Okoto-San, the daughter of Tsukinoe Shiske-San, who runs a shamisen store in Totsuka.
My name is Okoto.
A more beautiful girl can't be found in Tama.
Well. He can go.
Thank you.
In return, I need you.
Me?
That's not what we agreed!
You were great in the battle with Kano.
Will you be my right hand?
You must be joking...
This is not an ordinary dojo.
I, ito Okura, train the people who will lead the Sleepo Joi movement.
I need a young man like you.
I don't want to be a part of this. Besides...
I don't want to work for someone who probably won't remember my name.
Okita Soji.
I haven't forgotten.
You're free to go. Go wherever you want.
Wait. This is wrong.
The conversation is over.
The teacher, it is not necessary to do so.
Kano...
You promised to let toudou, if Okita is going to win.
You must keep your word.
Let go of toudou-kun.
Ask you.
I said I would let him go to your dojo.
Okoto-San, right?
Yes.
I will be honest with you.
My family arranged this meeting.
But I'm not going to get married.
Please forget about me.
I have nothing against you.
Do you love someone else?
I'm telling you, it's nothing personal.
If you don't like me, say so!
That would be better.
I'm not saying I don't like you.
In General, I like you very much.
Don't be defiant.
Okoto-San, you look great.
I like women like you.
But as I said... I'm not going to get married.
Not at all?
You hate me.
I'm telling you, it's not true.
Then please tell me why you love me.
Your neck is slender and beautiful.
Okoto-San, I like your scent...
it calms my soul.
Your scent...
Welcome home. Someone is waiting for you.
I am ito Gunbei of the Matsumoto clan.
I'm Kondo Isami.
I'll get right to the point.
The Matsumoto clan is responsible for ensuring the safety of the British diplomatic mission in Takanawa.
Is that at the Tozen-JI Shrine?
It's been a year since the MiTo people attacked the Embassy.
We are always on the lookout for a repeat of what happened last year.
This year was difficult for us.
But we have heard that a new attack is being prepared.
Rumor has it that the comrades of the slain ronin will come to take revenge on the anniversary of the last attack.
This is a very serious problem.
What do you want from me?
We are preparing to repel an attack, and therefore we are worried about our defenses.
We want medicinal drugs, and you can provide them for us.
Wait. I don't quite understand.
Why do you ask me for medication? This is a dojo.
Weird. I was told they sell IT here.
ISIS's beggar, which helps with various bruises and reduces pain.
A merchant sold it to me last year.
I thought all these miraculous properties were a fraud.
But this is a really effective medicine.
I remember that he told me to go to Edo, to Shieikan, if I needed more food.
And that's exactly why I'm here.
Or did I misunderstand something?
He wants to buy it all?
He wants to buy everything we have in stock.
Did we do business with the Matsumoto clan?
They want to take everything..
Are you going to sell it to them?
We should have waited for Toshizo first.
But we don't have time for that.
Gen-San, can you help? I can't carry everything alone.
Well.
I will inform Hijikata-San.
You are welcome.
Rejoice, mother!
We found a buyer.
It can't be.
Mother...
Who are these medications for?
For the Matsumoto samurai, they will have to protect the British Embassy.
If the English are injured, will they also be treated with these drugs?
I think so...
You don't have to save the aliens!
I was deeply moved by the heroic actions of the ronins of MiTo.
They risked their lives to kill more foreigners.
Such as they are called "true samurai".
Do you believe in "Sleepy Joi"?
Mother, I understand your feelings.
But Isami-San always talks... whatever they are, foreigners are just like us.
Quiet!
You always contradict me!
Now, now, now, calm down. What's the problem?
They're going to get rid of a lot of junk.
There will be more free space in the house.
Shut up!
All this is true. Let's hurry, Ganbei-San is waiting.
Not worry. I'll talk to her later.
You Gozaburo-San will be able to carry?
I think we have another assistant.
Will you help me?"
No way!
Harada-San, you didn't go outside today. You need to stretch.
Well, I don't have to go all the way to Takanawa now!
I'll buy you some sake.
Can I come with you?
Will there be no English? I've always wanted to see them.
I'm leaving.
Don't say that.
All against me!
I can't live in a family like this!
We're back.
With the return.
Where's Sensei?
He just got out.
He's gone?! I didn't expect that...
This is todo Heiske-San, Shieikan's new student.
Another guest?
Make yourself at home.
Nice to meet you.
This is the guest room.
What a nice room!
Have you ever seen a foreigner?
I saw Harris once, but from a distance.
They are very noisy.
They walk around the temple in shoes.
And why should we risk ourselves for them?
Why was the Matsumoto clan entrusted with their protection?
It was our turn to work off our debt to the government.
This is not a job you want to do.
We have to fight the ronin of MiTo.
We Japanese must fight for foreigners.
This is outrageous and humiliating.
And if we let the ronin break through to the Embassy, we will be punished for treason to the Shogunate.
This is a complex dilemma.
I would rather not defend the English and commit seppuku.
He's weird.
Yes, that's right.
He seemed to have aged before his eyes.
It's starting to rain.
How did you feel about it?
We can do this.
We are the same blood and the peasants.
Tozen-JI, Takanawa
I, ito Gunbei, brought ISIS's potions by order of the clan.
Please get out of here.
What do you mean?
I don't know what Gunbei told you, but our clan didn't order you to buy medicine.
He told us the opposite. Call Gunbei-Dono here.
I must tell you the truth.
Ito Gunbei is a very timid person.
He failed to do his duty last year.
He began to behave unnaturally, and was relieved of his duties.
He was sent back to the clan.
I think he couldn't understand it and accept it.
He started looking for a reason to come back here.
We don't want to deal with him.
This is the case. Please understand.
Wait, what are we going to do with all these drugs?
Pull it back.
And this is after we almost died while I was dragged all the way here!
I have to admit that Gonbei-San was acting a little strange.
Let's go back.
A real downpour begins.
They're coming!
How tall!
Don't look into their eyes!
Thank you.
Do you understand what they're saying?
I think he said I was pretty.
They want to have a drink with me.
Why are you sure that's what they say?
They want to take me to their home.
No, I'm not going. I have a husband.
Have you ever seen such a thing?
In-in, for sure! Harakiri!
I tried it once.
Want to touch it? It's all healed up.
Come on, don't be shy.
This is...
What's it?
When I wanted to look at the Black Squadron, Toshi and I found these things.
It was a bottle stopper.
Then you need to tell him.
To the bottom!
I will not forgive them.
I'll teach you a Japanese song.
Repeat what I sing.
You only repeated the first word correctly!
Now you!
They're pretty good at the end!
They are very sociable.
It's not relevant, but...
They come from an unknown country, and they can't speak our language... but they live here.
It must be difficult for them to communicate with the Japanese.
You won't have enough sake.
I drank it all!
Arrogant son of a bitch!
Stop!
Get out of the way.
Gunbei-San!
Ito is crazy!
Gunbei-San!
Stop it!
What happened to this country?
