In June 1866, the Shogunate made a second attempt to punish the Choshu clan.
Government forces with superior forces surrounded the army of Choshu and attacked.
But Choshu, who received the latest weapons from Satsuma, completely defeated the Shogunate army, despite its numerical superiority.
For the first time, the bakufu army felt the bitterness of defeat.
It became obvious that the power of the Shogunate had significantly weakened.
And at this moment, as luck would have it, something happened that seriously shook the Shinsengumi and the Shogunate as a whole.
Dorama " Shinsengumi"
Episode 39 Death of the shogun
Subtitles by Graft
Tani-San has been in a constant state of depression since making a mistake at seppuku Kawai.
This is further proof of the low level of his skills.
I decided to leave the group.
I can't follow Kondo and Hijikata anymore.
Shinsengumi is not the same squad as before.
I'm going to Edo.
But, brother...
And, of course, I'll take you with me.
Masatake, you will no longer be Kondo's heir.
Tomorrow you will become Tani Masatake again.
Start packing.
But how do you explain this to Kondo-Sensei?
We did enough for him when we joined the squad.
We don't have to explain anything.
I'd like to stay.
I want to be a good heir to the Kondo family.
I want to repay all that he did for me.
Masatake...
I...
Kondo Shuhei.
Sanjuro had left the barracks a few hours ago in his field clothes.
Shortly after he left, and Mantaro.
Most likely, they agreed to meet in advance.
And Shuhei?
He stayed.
What should we do?
Don't even think about it.
Are you sure?
No exceptions, even for the Shuhei brothers.
Thank you for staying.
I'm a member of the Kondo family.
According to our code, we are obliged to punish anyone who left the unit without permission.
I'm afraid it will hurt you.
I understand everything.
It will be sad... but it doesn't hurt.
Mantaro is on the way.
We have to wait?
No, it's better to take care of them one at a time.
Discontinue.
Come on!
You can honorably commit seppuku or die by my hand.
It seems useless to talk to you.
Take care of the rest.
Yell if anyone approaches.
Tani Mantaro did not appear.
He must have found out what happened.
Officially, it can be reported that Sanjuro was hacked to death by the ronins.
Thank you for your work.
He used his pedigree to do nothing and get a good salary. He was a crooked crook.
Forget about it.
I hope no one will blame Tanya on Shuhei.
He'll manage, I'm sure.
That's life.
July 25, 1866, Satsuma
How long are you in Kyoto?
No, not for long.
Have you finished all the rice and weapons shipments between Choshu and Satsuma?
I think they can handle it without me.
I can't keep an eye on them all the time.
I'm sorry I can't be with you all the time.
What's stopping you?
It's impossible. I'll have to come back as soon as your wounds heal.
Why?
The lady asked me to look after you, because your hands are injured and you are defenseless.
Ryoma-San, when your hand heals, all you need to do is get injured again.
Give me a break.
So will you do it?
I know how to shoot.
You don't have to do this. Your job is to treat me.
Remain. I'll take care of you.
You're laughing...
No, seriously.
But then I must tell the lady...
I forgot to tell you...
I have already sent a letter to Mrs. Otose from Terada-ya.
Great!
Members Mimiviridae do not receive a salary for nothing.
I can't see you.
I beg you!
Don't you want to grab Sakamoto Ryoma? I will be useful to you!
(In Mimiviridae took only pure-blooded samurai) Go to the Shinsengumi. They don't care about social status.
I don't want to join them!
Well, good-bye.
Let me ask you a question!
Have you ever seen Sakamoto Ryoma?
So you don't know what it looks like or who you're going to catch.
How do you intend to end it?
What about Katsura Kogoro?
I know them by sight.
And Okubo from Satsuma, too.
I've seen Saigo more than once.
And a liaison monk named Iwakura.
You can hardly find another person like me.
I see what you're getting at.
I want to punish them for being so dismissive of me.
Okay, you got it.
You are accepted.
You will be considered my personal servant.
Thank you, Sasaki-sama!
I will try my best!
Nishi-Hongan-JI
Anyway, we're married now.
Be kind to my husband, Harada Sanosuke.
It's beautiful.
I'm glad you're finally married, Sanosuke-San.
It took me a long time to convince her.
Omasa-San, have you really made up your mind?..
Commander, what do you want to say?
Well, of course, I've been thinking for a long time... but even for me, it was kind of a sudden event.
But I loved him before we were married.
This is quite common for men and women.
Have you told her parents yet?
Yes, I saw them the other day.
Have you talked to them yet?!
You give it... us?
Look what he cut out!
Thanks!
Sanosuke-San, I'm glad that your feelings have finally been answered.
That's what it means to never give up!
I wish you happiness.
Are you leaving already?
What about the wedding ceremony?
She was already there last night.
Already been?!
I would have come if you had warned me.
Nothing, I already feel embarrassed.
We must do something for him, too.
Yeah, let's do it!
Do not. I'm kind of the center of attention.
Nagakura-San said that he was organizing a celebration tonight.
I told him it wasn't necessary...
It would be great if you all joined in.
Then we will definitely come.
When you hit, turn your shoulders!
Eighty-two, eighty-three... louder!
Eighty-four, eighty-five...
Shuhei, strike harder!
Get up!
Louder!
After Sanjuro-San disappeared, Okita-San became ruthless.
It's my fault that I can't do what's required of me.
You're just like your brother.
Will you start doing everything right?
I was accepted in Shinsengumi for my good swordsmanship.
I hate people who only came here because of their connections.
Not experience.
He is from the same village as Kondo-San with Hijikata-San. And it was only because of this that he was accepted.
Shuhei, I'm going to leave the squad.
I was disappointed in Shinsengumi.
If I stay here, I will die sooner or later. Let's go together.
As a scout, I know everything about everything.
Still, Kondo-Sensei is bound hand and foot by such an unreliable heir.
He only put up with it because of your brother. But now...
He's already figuring out how to give you up.
The squad leaders will be celebrating Harada-San's wedding all night. Wonderful chance.
I'm not...
You really are indecisive!
Excuse me.
Will you help me?"
I will leave the barracks to pack light.
You will not be able later to pass me my stuff?
You will help me, won't you?"
Well.
This woman, named Oko, works at the ISE-ya hotel near the Toji temple.
She looks 21 or 22.
Five or six years ago, she tried to escape, but was caught by her master.
This is definitely my little sister.
I never said you were a great scout?
Can I see her?
Certainly.
Why not find out first if it's exactly her?
Do you want to go there now?
I need to finish something first.
Let's meet at the Inari temple at 7: 30?
Well. Thanks for the help.
I'm sure it's your sister.
I've had a lot of different people visit me recently.
But I didn't expect to see people from Shinsengumi.
Ito-Sensei-Shinsengumi's military adviser.
So, what do you want from me?
You came to kill me?
Although I work in Shinsengumi for the time being, I am actually a royalist.
Then why did you join the Shinsengumi?
This was the only means to settle in Kyoto.
I accepted Kondo Isami's invitation to take root in Kyoto and later serve the Emperor.
That's why I'm talking to you.
What do you want from me?
Now I'm just a beggar samurai.
You were a prominent figure in the faction that tried to reconcile the court and the Shogunate.
I would like to know your thoughts on this.
This is all very suspicious.
But it just so happens that I like the intrigue.
Enter.
Other-Sensei is busy?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
What is it, Shuhei?
I'd like to tell you something.
Sorry, I'm busy. Maybe later?
What are you doing?
(Chirashi is a dish in which seafood, mushrooms, and vegetables are spread out on portions of rice) He makes chirashi for Sanosuke's wedding.
Give Sanosuke-San my congratulations.
You're not coming?
I have to go on patrol.
Ask someone to replace you.
This is the wedding of our friend from Sheikan.
And you?
I shouldn't be there.
I thought you'd say that.
You've had a lot of arguments with Nagakura-San lately, and now you're trying to hold your temper.
I'm sure he wouldn't be happy to see me at the party, either.
Go! This is an important day in the life of our friend from Sheikan.
How are you feeling?
Not bad so far.
Have you lost weight?
No.
You spend too much time training.
And you're always on patrol.
What happened?
Why blame me for being overzealous?..
Tell Sanosuke-San that I will join the fun later.
I'm not going.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Am I really a burden to Kondo-Sensei?
What makes you think that?
Because I am not worthy to be his heir.
I believe Kondo-Sensei loves you.
He talks a lot about you.
I've heard that you are very good at math.
Shinsengumi doesn't have an economist anymore.
He said you were a great fit for the job.
Cool!
Please eat, eat!
Commander, sit down.
Looks great!
And it tastes great!
Hijikata-San, sit down.
Hijikata-San, join us!
Are you sure?
Why not?
Just sit down, quickly!
Yummy!
It's like we're back in Sheikan, like in the old days.
And that's great!
We'll celebrate all night.
That's all.
Thanks.
But I'm not going with you.
Kondo-Sensei doesn't think I'm a useless slacker.
Who told you that?
Oyuki-San.
She wouldn't have told the truth anyway.
Okay, I'm going.
Wait! I have something here...
These are your things.
I specially collected them.
Stand...
Now you must come with me.
No way.
If you go back to the barracks with this in your hands, everyone will think that you wanted to run away, but were afraid.
And then-seppuku.
So you'll have to leave with me.
Why are you dragging me into an escape?
Now Sanosuke and I have women to go through life with, and the commander has Oyuki-San.
He has Otsune-San in Edo and Oyuki in Kyoto.
What a man, eh!
There was nothing between Oyuki and me.
You just don't want to talk.
All right! Then I'll have to send her back to Osaka.
It's all right, commander.
I'll send her to Osaka.
Well, I was offended.
Hijikata-San, what about you?
I'm fine as it is.
Forget him. He doesn't want to tie the knot.
Well, there's nothing we can do for Gen-San...
So only Heiske remained unmarried.
What do you mean?
Are you in love with someone?
I live only for the sword!
As a samurai!
Shuhei has problems!
Suhaia?
Asano forces him to escape.
Is Oyuki-San all right?
I took her home.
Should I tell the others?
No, we can't let the commander know about this whole mess.
Our young guys are a bit too much and rowdy. I calmed them down.
Are you leaving already?
I'm with you.
Don't worry, I can handle it.
Shuhei!
I can't drink any more!
Yeah, you're already pretty limp.
No, I don't drink anymore.
I was already drunk.
You are our main character for this evening.
I'm always the main character!
Please visit Oyuki.
But she had to leave Yamazaki for her sister.
Hijikata-San, have a drink.
Please, please.
Excuse me, I need to get out.
Already?
I forgot to do something, I have to hurry.
I have to go, too.
Toshi, stay.
Stay a little longer.
But...
We were going to drink all night, Vice commander.
Stop!
Go.
Fail.
Shuhua forced to run Asano.
You weren't going to run, were you?
I had to give Asano-San all his things.
It's Asano's fault!
He probably expected that if Shuhei was captured with him, they would be forgiven.
Asano is dead.
You killed him?
Where is his body?
He fell into the river.
You'll forgive Shuhei, won't you?
Let's not tell anyone anything.
You couldn't even Dodge a blow like that.
Excuse me.
Everyone is worried about your incompetence.
Why don't you try harder?
Why don't you want to get better?
But me...
Why didn't you talk this idiot out of it?
All this is not for me!
How dare you!
Aren't you the heir to the Kondo family?!
You're not doing your best to get stronger, are you?!
Okita-San, not everyone is as talented as you!
There are people who reach their limit and can't go higher!
Just calm down.
I'm hopeless.
I can never do anything right.
Don't use such terrible words.
You are too young to be disappointed in life.
I heard everything from Oyuki.
I think I'll go back.
Why did you let Asano escape?
Asano is dead.
Not happening. I don't smell blood.
According to our laws, anyone who decides to leave the group without permission must make a seppuku.
There should be no exceptions, even for my son.
Shuhei had no intention of leaving Shinsengumi.
All the blame is on Asano Kaoru.
I don't want to hear your excuses.
You heard everything...
Shuhei, get ready.
What are you going to do?
Kondo Shuhei is dead.
Don't mock me!
Condo Souza dead!
Will you cancel his acceptance into the Condo family?
Tomorrow he will be Tanya Masatake again.
I will personally see to it that he trains well and becomes a real samurai.
And then you can again consider whether to make him your heir.
And you ask for it!
Please!
Give Shuhei another chance!
Do it your way. He is no longer my heir.
Thank you!
But I must tell you....
"Shuhei" is a revered name in the Kondo family.
I can't take it so easily.
That's why you remain a Shuhei.
From now on, you are Tanya Shuhei.
Get better as soon as possible.
Shuhei, I believe in you.
Kondo-Sensei is back.
Don't get tired.
How's Shuhei-San?
It's all settled.
Rest.
Excuse me.
I always give you problems.
I apologize...
What is it?
Matsudaira Katamori calls you to the mission of the ISA. You must arrive as soon as possible.
Quarters Of Aizu
Really?
He died on the 20th, at Osaka castle,
I can't believe it...
I feel the same way.
He had just turned twenty-one.
I feel sorry for him.
We must not allow rumors of his death to spread.
Few high-ranking officials are aware of the situation.
Clear.
This can have a very bad effect on the morals of people who are fighting against Choshu.
The shogun had no heirs. Who will become the shogun?
Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu.
He enjoys the favor of the Emperor. This is good for the courtiers.
He is very intelligent, but too prone to thinking and inaction.
This worries me very much.
The last shogun of Japan Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu
I don't want to be a shogun.
There is no one who is more suitable for this position.
For example, I have a brother.
In General, I would like to gain real power.
But in principle, I can handle the temptation.
So if everyone really wants to see me as a shogun, then let them come and pay their respects in person.
Then I'll agree.
If I can show them who will now be the master of the country, it will be easier for me to work with them in the future.
Or am I wrong?
No.
From now on, I will be the head of state.
And I will eradicate all dissent in Satsuma and Choshu!
