In June 1863, relations between the Emperor and the Shogunate continued to deteriorate.
After visiting Kyoto, shogun Iemochi returned to Edo.
The result Mibu-Rosenhane and the Aizu clan left Kyoto to protect the interests of the government.
Clashes with the United States and France continued in Choshu.
A detachment of gunners was formed by Takasugi Shinsaku.
A month later, skirmishes began between the Satsuma clan and the British fleet.
It was a real war between England and Satsuma.
At this time, the "Sleepy Joi" movement reached its peak.

The shogun finally returned to Edo.
We came to Kyoto to guard it.
Now that he's gone, our stay here is also in question.
The Yagi House, Mibu
At least, that's what I thought before.
Now I think we should stay and work with the Aizu clan to maintain law and order in Kyoto.
Soon the shogun, according to his promise, will complete the expulsion of foreigners from the country.
Until then, we will definitely stay here.
What do you think?
The question is how the Aizu clan will react.
If they fire us, we have nothing to do here.
The Aizu clan continues to support us.
Are you absolutely sure of this?
Matsudaira Katamori-sama promised me this.
Commander Kondo was called to the military commandant yesterday.
I didn't have time to tell you yesterday.
Thus, Mibu-Rosenhane...
We're disbanding.
There is no reason for us to work together if the shogun has left.
Or do you think otherwise, Kondo?
Sach Rosenhouse will be disbanded today.
He contradicts again.
He doesn't want to do such "noble" things. You should have understood his nature by now.
I'll talk to him.
I am the commander!
Under the patronage of the Aizu clan, we can continue to squeeze money out of merchants.
Why don't we just leave it at that?
Rosigui you need.
Kondo and his people are just children.
We are much more Mature than they are and act as their guardians.
In the end, children will always outperform their parents.
Seriously? Well, I expected something like this.
We'll be a little longer than they are.
Please forgive us for the extra problems.
Commander, tell them about it.
By coincidence, I became friends with the sumo Onogawa house, in Osaka.
We will help organize the sumo tournament, which is scheduled for August.
I suggested that master Onogawa take him to Mibu. And he immediately agreed.
Will the sumo tournament be held here in the village?
I wanted to please you.
Will we see a real sumo tournament?!
Do the wrestlers from the Onogawa house mind setting it up here?
And even Kurogami himself?
Who is it?
This is a famous sumo wrestler who will become the master of the house of Onogawa in the future.
My mother is always rooting for him.
I've been to Osaka many times just to see it.
I hope he will participate.
But I didn't see his name.
Don't worry, he's coming.
Isn't that great, mom?
This is the best thing that has happened in the last year!
I am very happy about the sumo tournament.
The approximate date is August 12.
Maybe another day? On the 12th, I have to go to Fushimi on business.
He'll get over it.
Let the tournament be the twelfth!
Why did the shogun return to Edo?
Why did the shogun have to stay in Kyoto?
I don't know anything about politics.
He came to convince the Emperor that the expulsion of foreigners is not far off.
Very clever, todo-San.
The government was pressured by the Choshu clan, which supports the Emperor.
And the Shogunate promised that all foreigners would be expelled from the country by may 10.
But it's already middle of may!
The Shogunate is unable to do anything.
The promise made to the Emperor was broken.
The shogun returned to Edo to take part in the expulsion of foreigners.
So what happens now?
The Choshu clan will have more and more weight even outside of Kyoto.
Now only we can stop them.
That's why Kondo-San decided to stay.
The same applies to Serizawa-Sensei.
Let's go somewhere else.
Yamanami-Sensei, this kind of talk puts me to sleep.
Don't you want to go?
Certainly.
I'm getting sleepy, too. I'll go for a walk.
We need to build up our strength.
Do you think more people are needed?
I would like to have several hundred of us. Or we won't have a chance against Choshu.
Would you like to go for a drink, Saito-San?
I don't like to drink in company.
Soji has too much contact with Serizawa.
After that incident in Osaka, he never looked me in the eye.
Will you help me?"
Could you go with Soji?
I think one of our people should be with him.
You want me to?..
If it's easy.
We are from Sach Rosigui! Make room!
Sorry!
Who knows what they'll do if you're stubborn.
Sorry!
Will you sit with Serizawa-Sensei?
Certainly.
Sake. And some salted fish.
Sorry, but we don't have salted fish.
So do it!
Serizawa-Sensei likes sake and salted fish, okay?
Sensei, over here!
We've got a good place for you.
Did you sit in my seat?
Excuse me.
Upstart!
Are you okay?
Here you are.
I'm not worried.
I don't care.
One day I will be a great samurai.
I was ready for anything.
A samurai?
That's why I support Serizawa.
Kondo-San is not interested in social status.
Serizawa is also the commander.
I have to play along with him.
I'm going to show you something.
What?
This is the money I saved in Yaga's service.
When I have saved some more, I will buy myself a beautiful sword.
You just have to wait.
I will be the same as Serizawa. I will walk proudly through the streets of Kyoto.
Would you like to go to another tavern?
I know a place where there are many beautiful women.
Here, here.
Are you coming? This way.
I stumbled.
Go carefully.
Excuse me.
Does anyone know where the place he was talking about is?
Well, then, let's go home.
Leave it on the bridge.
Make it look like a burglar killed him.
Did he have any money?
He was flirting with the wrong person.
One wrong move can cost you your life.
August 12, 1863, Kyoto
That night, one of the Mibu-Roshingumi was killed.
We've already arranged the funeral.
I was told that he was killed by robbers.
Yes, it is.
But there are rumors that Serizawa cut Him down.
It's just a rumor.
According to our investigation, this is not the case. Serizawa also denies this.
Tell him not to do anything that might embarrass the Aizu clan.
Maybe it's time...
For what?
We can't afford to lose Aizu's trust because of Serizawa-San.
I believe that we will not die without Serizawa.
I agree. After the incident with sumo Onogawa's house, when you settled everything, your personal trust in you increased.
In other words, now we don't need Serizawa to keep us from being dispersed.
Where are the Kurogami?
Over there!
Kurogami!
Kurogami
Look here!
Excuse me.
How does a wrestler feel when his hand is injured?
He stayed at home.
I understand...
In this state, he can't fight.
Did you hurt him?"
No, no.
The teacher told us to forget everything.
I'm sorry.
The usual feelings of a person who has killed or injured another.
Not only the victim feels pain, but also the killer.
Don't forget it.
If you're thinking about it, you're not a samurai.
You are a very strong swordsman.
That's why you should think about it.
Otherwise, you will become an insensitive death machine.
Kondo's words don't make sense.
Why should a samurai care about people who have fallen by his sword?
A samurai has the right to kill without thinking.
The tournament is already starting.
Aren't you going to watch?
I don't like sumo tournaments.
And I don't believe your teacher who set it up.
Is something wrong?
Only merchants spend money on sumo tournaments.
I'm sorry, but I'm a full-blooded samurai. And I'm not going to participate in such an event.
This only proves its peasant origin.
It's true?
Okita, let me give you a lesson.
You are a samurai by birth. Do not imitate the Condo.
The sumo tournament is already starting!
Everyone is welcome!
You would not be able to smile?
I don't like to smile.
But it is necessary!
Simply
This is difficult for someone who lives only by the sword.
Well, not that it's very important...
It is important.
We must be able to do everything to survive.
Come all!
The first and last tournament in Mibu!
Come on!
Hold it here.
How are things going?
Do you really want to sell them?
These are Souvenirs!
What's it?
I wanted Kurogami, the most famous sumo wrestler, to make handprints, but he's busy.
So I asked for a Shimada.
I don't think they'll find out.
Don't do this.
We must get the maximum profit.
Maybe you shouldn't.
There are rumors that the group "Tenchu" knocked out a lot of money from their merchant store Yamato-ya.
You can't miss it.
What'll we do?
It's obvious. Did you talk to Yamato?
If he has money to give to tench, He must pay us. Let's go.
Noguchi, there's a case.
Now?
We go to the Yamato-ya. Get up.
I'll tell Kondo-Sensei.
Serizawa-Sensei!
Stop causing problems for the Aizu clan!
They shouldn't be so stressed.
They pay us!
You're not acting like a samurai!
Is racketeering a samurai thing?
Soji.
Okita-San, why?
Don't betray Kondo-Sensei.
Heiske, leave him alone.
He is no longer a child. Let him do what he wants.
Kondo-Sensei, you have a visitor.
Kat-Chan!
Cateske!
I always arrive without warning!
This is from Hikogoro-San.
This is from Shikanosuke-San.
This is from Tsune-San.
There are rumors that you are important people here.
Now you're commander of the Mibu-Rosenhane. That's cool.
I am proud that my friend has achieved so much.
It's alright. That was, then passed.
I was furious at the time, but I've forgiven everything now.
I'm your friend, guys.
What are you doing here?
I came to join the Mibu-Rosenhane.
It's impossible.
I've already made up my mind.
Sateska, you have to take care of his family.
You must protect the honor of the Takigawa family!
This is my problem!
We also have something to do with it!
Don't talk about it, just accept me!
I want to serve alongside you.
And I want to fight alongside you!
Enough!
We're not playing with toys here!
Shut up!
How can you talk to me like that?
I said I forgot everything!
Don't treat me so condescendingly!
Let's go outside.
No!
So you can stun me again?
I won't fall for the same trick twice!
You must be joking!
Wait, Sateska.
You infuriate me!
I don't want to see your faces anymore!
Do you want to stay here?
I don't need your help!
Heck!
Is this a sumo tournament?
The first and last sumo tournament in Mibu.
Thank you for coming. It's already starting.
Let's go see.
Saito, come with us.
It's more fun to watch in the company.
Let's go.
Please step aside!
What's wrong with you?
Shimada-San wants to participate.
I will try.
Good luck, don't lose!
Why is the loincloth normal?
I don't have another one.
I'm going!
Looks like we got here on time.
I heard about the tournament. Can we find a place?
Yes, of course. Follow me.
Actually, it's not for me.
Matsudaira-sama!
I wanted to see it.
Who is it?
Fool, this is the daimyo of Aizu!
Look, he's here unofficially and incognito.
Damn, this is bad!
What happened?
My bandage is torn!
Did you win?
I was disqualified before the start!
Come on, quick!
Please forget what you saw.
This way, please.
You're unaccompanied, is that all right?
Everything all right.
We will have a good profit.
If we hold a couple of tournaments a year, we can exist even without a salary from Aizu.
Serizawa won't like it.
Let him say what he wants.
Sakamoto-San!
Sumo tournament-cool idea!
And the income brings a good one!
Would you like to see it, Sakamoto-San?
Of course! Sumo is one of my Hobbies.
But before that, can I have a word with you?
The Choshu finally took action.
Of course, this is only a rumor, but they say that tomorrow the Emperor will give permission for a "Visit to Yamato".
What is it?
This is a big event.
It was invented by a man named Maki Izumi, from Kurume.
The Emperor will personally visit the Unebiyama Shrine in Yamato and swear to all the gods that he will lead a movement against foreigners.
Is this a very serious matter?
The Emperor himself will lead the anti-foreign movement, announcing it in Yamato.
This means that he will lead the army and lead it into battle.
And he wants to crush the Tokugawa regime.
This is impossible!
It was Katsura-San who gave Maki Izumi's idea to the courtiers. And the Emperor immediately gave the order to March.
I don't want to say that the Aizu clan is doing nothing and sitting idly by.
I thought you, a daimyo katamori confidant, might know something about this.
Why do you need to know about Aizu's Affairs?
I'm worried about the future of our country.
I don't think Aizu knows anything.
At least Matsudaira Katamori-San doesn't know anything.
Sakamoto-San, I want to know something.
What will happen to Japan now?
We are in a very difficult position.
Why doesn't the government expel foreigners?
I would have done it first.
The Shogunate is not going to do this.
Why not?
The government is afraid of damaging the country's dignity by breaking the trade agreement with the Americans.
What do you think should be done?
Obviously.
The most powerful clans must unite, rally around the Shogunate, raise the country's fighting power, and drive the Americans out of the country.
What are the clans?
Aizu, Choshu, and Satsuma.
Oh, it's starting.
Let's leave serious conversations for now.
Let's go see the tournament.
Hey, you took my place! Get out!
Is it busy?
Sit down here.
You don't understand, I bought three tickets to get more seats.
I don't like being made a fool of.
I want to sit here, okay?
Many people watch the tournament standing up.
I think it's not nice of you to take three seats.
Just get out!
Do you want a fight?
Go away!
Hey, what are you doing?
I didn't expect the military commander to arrive incognito.
It was very interesting.
Kondo, I'm happy with you.
I heard about the Osaka incident.
It was an unfortunate combination of circumstances.
I heard you took care of it.
Don't think about it.
I'm sorry to bring up an unpleasant topic.
I've forgotten everything.
Kondo is an honest and direct person.
Your words are a great honor for me.
And about that man...
You mean Serizawa?
Even though Serizawa started the fight, it was Kondo who settled it.
It is wonderful.
You bring up an awkward topic again.
Oh, God...
Shouldn't you go pay your respects?
Why would that be?
How did it go in Yamato-ya?
We weren't there.
We were just drinking in Gion.
You just gave up easy money? I can't believe it.
Kondo-San and his people made a good profit.
And what does the commander have to do with it?
I'm just numb from such impudence.
You left with the intention of knocking a lot of money out of the merchant.
And missed the moment to make good money at home, without going anywhere.
Just like a boy.
Kondo's been getting a little too uptight lately.
You also need to act so that they do not forget about your presence.
Don't you think about it?
Call Them here!
I'm sorry, but the owner isn't here right now.
I have to talk to him.
All I want to know is whether it will pay Sach Rosigui or not.
But the master won't be back until tomorrow!
I need an answer immediately!
But I don't have the authority...
You paid the Tenchu group, but you don't want to pay the Seichu Roshingumi, who are supported by the Aizu clan.
We'll have to show Yamato-ya what it means to go against the government.
Wait!
I'm not going to wait.
Go ahead!
Wait, wait!
What are you doing?
Stop!
Stop it!
You're out of luck! I'm in a very bad mood today!
Destroy everything!
Today we received 30 re.
As we agreed, you get 70%, so 21 re is yours.
I beg.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for organizing.
We can work together again.
I'm sorry!
We have a problem!
Keep ' em coming.
This should teach merchants proper respect!
Go on!
I don't mind blowing his guts out.
Serizawa had just signed his own death warrant.
