In March 1863, the shogun arrived in Kyoto and paid a visit to the Emperor.
The Aizu clan was caught between these two forces, as between a hammer and an anvil.
Nevertheless, the Aizu clan continued to guard Kyoto from ronin criminals, as ordered by the Shogunate.
Meanwhile, Mibu-Rosenhane, who now was in the service of the Aizu clan, was torn by internal strife.
Don't give too much freedom to Kondo and Serizawa.
Your task is to keep them on a short leash.
I will try.
I can't stand people plotting behind my back.
He's a murderer!
We must be silent!
We need to save the Mibu-Rosigui from decay!

The Yagi House, Mibu
I thought you were back in Edo.
You look good.
And you, too.
Katsura-San is also in town.
Yes, we know. We saw him.
Let's go have a drink together!
Have you been to Gion yet?
In Kyoto, all women are top class!
We were very busy and almost nowhere.
Right?
Excuse me.
Were you there?
Yes, once.
Alone?
I don't like to go to places like this in a crowd.
Sakamoto-San, what are you doing now?
As usual, I work with Katsu-Sensei.
I am always busy with his errands.
What do you do?
I'm trying to convince the government to reform the Navy.
Now Japan needs a strong fleet more than ever.
If we have a fleet , we can fight other States. At least, that's what Katsu-Sensei thinks.
What is the situation now?
If I only knew!
I won't be in Kyoto for a while.
Where are you going?
In Edo.
I'll be back in a month.
When I get back, let's throw a big party in Gion. With Katsura-San for company.
Not forget.
I spoke to Katsu-San in Kobe.
He advised me to draw the Emperor's attention to the fleet.
Let's do that.
We Choshu people are followers of anti-foreign policy.
We work day and night to help the shogun drive out the foreigners.
And I have to offer the court a project to build a fleet on a foreign model?
You must understand how important the fleet is.
That's the whole point.
And what do you say to Katsu-Sensei?
"We need a Navy? Understand".
Katsura Kogoro is a great man!
He has many faces.
For young Choshu samurai, he is the leader of an anti-foreign faction.
When he talks to you , he is a supporter of the open door policy.
And with me, he shows the third person.
Well, well, well...
I wonder what he really is like.
Would you like some more sake?
I'll get it.
Thanks.
I saw Kondo Isami.
He has created a squad of Mibu-Rosenhane.
Interesting person.
While the shogun's power is weakening, he is going to support it to the end.
In any case, what can he do?
He's a good man. So take a closer look at it.
Snapper-sama came.
Are you here too?
It's nine o'clock...
What are you doing?
Another job for me...
You don't know? All of Kyoto is talking about this.
Check the rhyme.
Kusaka-San is a good poet.
He composes satirical songs about the Shogunate and places shields with them around the city.
He started with one, now there are nine.
They are successful.
You have interesting ideas!
We need to go a little softer, or the government will think we're rioters.
What's wrong?
I don't like your duplicity.
If you openly mock the Shogunate, the Aizu people will destroy this shield.
There should be visible loyalty to the Emperor, which is actually disrespect for the Shogunate.
Then it will be harder for the Aizu guards to find fault.
You are a talented poet, kusaka-kun.
Shall we go home together?
In may we will make an attempt to expel the foreigners.
It is not necessary to speak about it so loudly.
The Shogunate promised to expel all foreigners as soon as the shogun returned to Edo.
I believe in what I do. Excuse me.
What does he want to do?
They want to open fire from the guns of foreign ships stationed in Shimonoseki.
Should I do this?
I can't stop them.
April 1, 1863
Thank you for everything.
Abiru-San, I wish you good luck.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I asked you to join us.
Where will you go?
I will go to a relative in Otsu.
Recover.
Goodbye.
And why did he stay?
He liked being with us. It was good, right?
With regard to leadership...
Out of my head.
If you leave out all those who left, there are only fifteen of us left.
Counting Saito, we have nine people on our side. On the side of Serizawa - five.
If we accept matasaburo, there will be six of Them.
And then what?
We can't stop Serizawa from bending her line. But now there are more of us.
We can also make you a leader.
We will have two groups and two leaders.
Do you want to play?
No, thanks.
What did you do in Kyoto?
Don't worry about me.
Do you want me to show you the seppuku scar?
Look!
It's deep.
You bastard!
Two separate groups?
We want Kondo to be our leader.
I don't see any problems with this.
Indeed, we cannot agree on a single leader.
Thank you for agreeing.
Let's have three leaders.
Nimi, you're my Deputy.
Obey.
Don't you agree, Kondo-kun?
Do what you want.
Mark.
(Says "cecoco", the approximate translation is "Supreme commander", "commander") Why not call our leaders commanders?
In the Aizu clan, this word is often used to officially address high-ranking samurai.
Why don't we follow their example?
Good offer.
Three commanders?
(Says "fukucho", translation - "the Deputy cecoco", "Vice-commander") Yamanami-kun and I will be Vice commanders.
We are the assistants of the commander.
If you have two commanders on your side, we will become two Vice-commanders.
In fact, the Other will also be the Vice commander.
Thus-three commanders, three Vice-commanders.
Why me?..
You are the oldest and most experienced of all.
And you will be useful to us.
Please don't. I don't want to be the boss!
The Yamana and I will be the Vice-commanders. Mark.
Then we will appoint sergeants from our side.
They will be Deputy Vice commanders.
They are Harami and Hiram. Write down.
(Says "Jakin" - translation "the commander of the operational staff") Why not call them commanders?
This is the standard term of the Shogunate.
This will make us more important. Sounds good.
No objection.
Okita, Nagakura, and Harada will be our commanders.
Then on our side, add Noguchi.
And todo with ours.
And Matasaburo.
And Saito.
Therefore, we will have 3 commanders, 2 Vice commanders, and 9 operational commanders.
Only Gen-San was left without a rank. ^_^
It won't be easy for you.
Maybe I'll be a commander, too.
Koroku
I've been looking for you everywhere.
There's work for you.
I'm done. Now I'm in Mibu-Rosigui I...
No matter. This will take a little time.
You owe my boss a lot.
What a beauty.
You think?
Then she touched my face.
Her fingers are so soft.
But this is just between us.
I could fall in love with Ome-San.
What happened?
Smell of perfume.
What do you mean?
Why do you smell like that?
Are you smothering yourself?
Smell it.
Discontinue.
You look like a woman.
He's a member of the family we live with.
So stop being rude.
Well, to hell with you.
He's right...
Damn, why do you smell like that?
I don't know.
That's what my sister smelled like when she was smothered.
Sister!
Please, let's practice.
Do you want a couple more lessons?
I think I have more potential than he does.
Let's practice together tomorrow.
Matasaburo, give this to Maekawa's guest.
Matasaburo!
Master, I am no longer your servant.
Is this for Ome-San?
Right.
I'll tell her.
Okita-San...
You are always kind to us. I'm happy to help.
I went.
How much longer are you going to play the samurai?
You're a girl, aren't you?
Here.
Excuse me, Ome-San, can I come in?
Yes.
This Is Okita.
Who!
Okita Soji from Mibu-Rosenhane.
I brought a letter from Yaga Gennojo.
Enter.
Now.
Thank you for letter.
What does he write?
I can guess what it is...
Why did Yagi send you?
I didn't mind.
Again requests to walk through the village.
I think he found out about that incident.
Are you going to leave?
If they want me to leave, how can I resist?
Serizawa-San, why are you here?
Why are you?
The relationship between a man and a woman is like a roll of the dice. You never know what you're going to get.
What is that look?
Are you in love with Ome-San?
Don't be silly.
I apologize.
It's not very wise to keep getting in the way of Serizawa-San's people.
What should they do if they want to get their hands on the squad?
There are only fifteen of us. Can't we cooperate?
Kondo-San, what do you think?
Forget that he killed Tonouchi.
I also believe that internal intrigues are not good for us.
We must go one step further.
By the way, where did Omasa-Chan go?
Do you know about Saito Hajime?
He shot Serizawa's man, Hirayama, in the face.
Really?
This is just a rumor.
I hope this doesn't complicate the situation.
Welcome.
Where are you?
Apologize.
Can we have some tea?
I'll get it."
The Choshu clan again distinguished itself.
What have they done?
They started singing again.
What do you mean?
You don't know? The whole city knows them.
The Choshu clan places shields with satirical songs everywhere.
I rewrote it.
Now the Shogunate's legs give way and he begins to fall. Is it the end?
What the hell?
They hint at the Shogunate's inability to drive out foreigners.
The shogun is worried himself. There are probably reasons why he hasn't taken any action yet.
Minister Li promised foreign countries that he would open ports for trade...
Can I continue?
Japan has long been the country of the Emperor.
I've already figured it out.
Don't you like it?
People probably like this kind of humor?
There are usually crowds of people around the shields.
The people of Kyoto approve of Choshu's behavior.
Yes, they are respected here.
I'll get the tea.
Do you want me to rip this shield off?
I wouldn't recommend it.
What is the problem?
We work for the Aizu clan.
Let's not create unnecessary problems for Matsudaira Katamori.
Omasa-Chan, what happened to that woman?
The one the ronins were chasing.
Have you seen her?"
No, I haven't.
I never saw her again.
Weird.
That is?
Kat-Chan is interested in women.
It's not what you think. After that incident, she disappeared. I'm worried about her.
Do you like people like her?
You love little women.
Come to think of it, your wife is short, too.
Stop it now.
Game!
I want to ask...
Yes?
I want to get to know Serizawa-San and his people.
Maybe we should have a dinner together. Or even a party? What do you think?
Me?
It can unite Mibu-Rosenhane. Express their opinion.
Good idea!
Ome-San sees Serizawa-San.
I don't know anything about women.
Maybe it's love...
Stand.
When did I disturb the peace of the village?
You're always hitting on men, I've seen it happen more than once.
I'd like to look into the eyes of at least one of the people I allegedly molested.
We want you to leave our area.
Several villages are in solidarity with us.
Maekawa-San thinks so, too.
I'm sorry.
Raise his head. I'm glad I was able to stay with you for so long.
That's why I didn't mind when you watched me bathe.
I confused you with my wife, and nothing more.
I would have left anyway.
I'm tired of looking at your chistoplyuystvo. I'm very happy to leave you.
Thank you for spending your time with me.
You don't have to leave.
Serizawa, this is our business.
She'll stay with me.
She's not going anywhere because I want her to.
Gennodes-San, I think she doesn't need to leave the village.
But...
I'm responsible as the commander of the Sach-Rosigui, subject only to the leadership of the ISA.
So treat her with respect.
Go.
Excuse me, I have to go.
I hope we have some fun.
What ?
Kondo-Sensei consulted with me on how to better establish relations within the unit.
Hang it up to dry? Are you ill?
Don't pay attention.
So what did Kondo-Sensei say?
Whatever I say, it always seems that he was waiting for something else.
What kind of person is Kondo-Sensei?
There are two people I would die for.
And one of them is Kondo-Sensei.
Noguchi-kun, are you ready to die for Serizawa-Sensei?
Why you joined Rosenhane?
I was just going with the flow.
Where did you meet Serizawa-Sensei?
I'm from MiTo, too.
I sometimes saw Serizawa in Edo.
He decided to take me with him when he left the clan.
And before I knew it, we were here.
I'm not a very good swordsman.
I really shouldn't be here.
You were just unlucky.
I'm leaving today. Wish me luck.
Thought... what about sumo?
Sumo tournaments are held at each festival.
Sumo. This could be a great idea.
The Shogunate's unruly legs buckle and he begins to fall.
Matsudaira Katamori
It's just a satirical song. Don't pay attention.
I can't just ignore such poems.
Their goal is clear - to disgrace the Shogunate.
Immediately destroy the shields with them.
Let's ignore them.
At such a time, one wrong move by the Aizu clan can have terrible consequences.
It's best to do nothing.
Don't be silly.
Why do you think I was appointed as the military commander of Kyoto?
(1 koku is the amount of rice sufficient to feed one person for a year) Please remember that the fate of Aizu province with an income of 230 thousand koku is in your hands.
Why not order the act of Mibu-Rosenhane?
That's right, we can use their help. What is Serizawa doing now?
I told him not to do anything until I got the order.
So, have a solution to this problem Mibu-Rosenhane. Call Serizawa and Kondo, immediately!
A sumo tournament? Damn, that sounds good.
Where are Kondo-Sensei and the others?
They were called to Aizu's residence.
Where's Nagakura-San?
He went to Osaka to visit a friend.
No nagakura-San either?!
Don't worry, I'm here.
I will scatter all your enemies!
Sanosuke-San, we want to establish a relationship!
We need one more person...
Who will be the first?
I'm ready.
First Hirayama-San and Okita-San.
Not only Okita!
Then Saito Hajime.
Even worse!
Okay, I'm first.
What is it?
The sumo tournament begins.
Sanosuke is also involved?
Sanosuke-San won't miss this.
I want to see!
Sanosuke, take him down!
Harada won!
Don't hug her too tightly!
My grandmother has been taking care of me lately.
What's going on here?
He looks like her late husband.
Damn, I knocked out a tooth...
Another wound...
Well, Sach-Rosigui start to work immediately.
This was exactly what I wanted.
Now our hands are free.
This is your first assignment, Kondo-kun.
Are you sure?
About?
Destroying shields with verses is tantamount to spitting in the face of the Choshu clan.
So what?
All Choshu samurai will become our enemies.
The Aizu clan doesn't want to be exposed, so they threw everything at us.
All of the Choshu adhere to the most radical policies. They want to clear Japan of foreigners.
Do you think we should have refused?
We can't back down now.
But I think we should be prepared for the consequences.
We're ready. Right The Condo?
Anyone who humiliates the Shogunate is our enemy!
Let's start!
I did it!
Next!
Soji, don't lose!
Not to worry.
You will win, I am sure.
Okita, come on!
How could you lose?
Don't think about losing!
We have one win and two losses.
Saito, we're counting on you.
Your opponent is Matasaburo. Saito, put it down.
Have you ever fought?
No.
Man! I will fight for you.
You are welcome.
You can't!
Hurry up!
Come on, just put it down.
Don't lose look!
I hope for you.
Come on, this last one!
Cool!
You left him pretty well!
If we lost, it would be a shame.
Draw!
I told you you were strong.
I often struggled in my city.
We received the order.
We have work to do.
If we all go, there will be a scandal.
You need to select several people.
Okita.
Harada.
Todo.
Hiram.
Noguchi.
Do everything without noise!
All over the us.
Forward.
Get out of the way!
We are from Mibu-Rosigui subordinate to the ISA!
Once we remove the shield , there will be no turning back.
We have to take it down, because that's our job.
Remove.
