After the assassination of Sakamoto Ryoma, the Shogunate was finally destroyed, and the Satsuma and Choshu clans settled in the center of the government.
This was a key event of that period, and those who were at the head of the country were preparing for great troubles.
Yoshinobu laughed at us when he returned power to the Emperor. But we'll be the last to laugh.
When the shogun handed over power to the Emperor, he actually signed his impotence.
So he must forfeit his privileges and hand over all his lands to us.
If he doesn't agree...
He will be declared a rebel.
We need to focus on strengthening the state.
We must gain strength.
And to do this, you need to open trade with foreign countries.
All of you, be quiet! I can't hear anything!
Speak out one at a time.
Let me begin.
I am ito Kashitaro, head of the Imperial crypt guard.
Listen to my plan for developing an open door policy.
Who is it?
He used to be in Shinsengumi.
We need to focus on strengthening...
Enough, I understand.
You're from Shinsengumi, so don't go on.
I have long since left the Shinsengumi.
I, ito Kashitaro, have always been a royalist...
I don't want to listen to a direct vassal of the Tokugawa shogun!
Thank you for being admitted to the Council at all.
What's your name?"
Ito.
How?
Ito.
Goto?
I'm Ito!
Okay, never mind. Sit down and keep your head down!
Now you. Express their opinion.
Dorama " Shinsengumi"
Episode 43 Frankness
Subtitles by Graft
The Tosa clan accuses us of killing Sakamoto.
Outrageously.
Nakaoka Shintaro, who was hacked to death along with Ryoma, managed to say that one of the killers was swearing in the dialect of the island of Shikaku.
So he survived.
No, he died in the morning.
So Nakaoka heard the murderers talking.
He heard "komakusa".
In Shikoku, this word replaces the expression "damn it."
The only vassal of the shogun in Kyoto, which is quite a good fighter and was born on Shikoku is you, Sanosuke.
(Sanosuke was born in IO province, on the island of Shikaku) What ? Me?
Me?
But you don't usually speak the IOI dialect. What the hell did you say that word for?
Yes, it popped up... Canonusa!!! ^_^
Again!
Is Shinsengumi suspected just because of this little thing?
I need to be more restrained.
Hey, wait a minute!
You will pay for everything! You betrayed Sakamoto!
We can't put a guard on you.
Why?
Thanks to you and your "help", the Shinsengumi are suspected of killing Sakamoto.
I have nowhere to go.
Go back to Tama.
You have nothing to do in Kyoto!
Shut up!
I'll show you!
I almost won...
And then I had to ask you for help!
Satsuma Representative Office
I was very impressed with your open door policy project.
Thank you.
I'll give it to Iwakura immediately.
Be sure.
The fact that you were in Shinsengumi, of course, is not good...
Wait. I...
After the death of Sakamoto, the Tosa samurai seek revenge on Shinsengumi.
If we accept your help...
Some, of course, will be unhappy.
But there is a way out.
I'm listening.
Kill Kondo Isami.
Shinsengumi is a formidable sword of the Shogunate.
But without Kondo, their power will be halved.
Why don't you take advantage of this?
Code-JI temple
Kano.
Call Saito.
December 18, 1867, Kyoto
The plan is this.
I'll send Kondo a letter saying I want to go back to Shinsengumi.
According to our agreement, we cannot return to Shinsengumi.
So I'm going to ask him to meet with me in secret to discuss everything.
He will be alone.
Will you help me, Saito?
Some of my people think you're a Shinsengumi spy.
This is a great chance to refute any suspicions.
Clear.
I don't want Saito to go alone.
I think we should give him a guide.
Not worth.
Call To Miho.
Now.
Kill Kondo-San?
Ito-San wants to destroy the Shinsengumi.
I'll try to talk ito-Sensei out of it.
It's already late.
Saito-San, are you going to kill Kondo-Sensei?!
Say this.
I joined you at the behest of Hijikata-San.
So the rumors were true.
I'm going to leave here. Come with me.
I can not.
Hijikata-San ordered that your life be spared.
I will not leave ito-Sensei.
Besides...
Now that I know the whole truth...
I won't let you go, Saito-San.
Saito returned.
Ito-San wants to kill me.
Call Nagakura immediately.
So I was right.
Sensei...
Saito!
It is necessary to attack kodai-JI temple.
Then we can easily break in.
We will win.
Let's see how the situation develops.
They want to kill you.
If we attack their barracks, there will be a major battle.
I don't want this to happen in Kyoto.
I think the commander is right.
We need to choose another location.
Well, let's decide...
We must attack first.
We cannot allow such a large amount of bloodshed.
I'll go to Kondo-kun and sort it out.
It's dangerous.
I'll offer him a face-to-face meeting.
I'm sure Kondo-kun will agree.
We will come to the meeting without Katanas.
As soon as it opens...
I will strike at wakizashi.
But...
I know it's a betrayal.
The end justifies the means. And my goal is very, very serious.
Compared to the fate of the country, this meanness means nothing.
Ito-San asks for a meeting.
This is a trap.
I think I'll take a chance.
Kat-Chan!
He asks for a private conversation. There is no reason to refuse.
Can you say something to this idealist?
The person who delivered the letter is in the next room.
For your own good, don't go back.
I'll be back.
I don't want to fight you.
Me too.
But that won't happen. Be calm.
I ask you not to return.
Remain.
What ? I'm serious.
I apologize.
Did you conspire?
I don't want to leave you in such a dangerous position.
I'll try to settle this in peace.
Thanks.
It's not that bad.
I don't think I need to lie in bed so much.
No, no.
This is the first time he's eaten properly.
Okay, go.
Who are you?
Look at it more closely.
Don't you think that's rude?
They really look the same, don't they?
This is Oyuki's sister.
But they have very different characters.
Very funny.
How are ito-San and the others doing?
Ito-Sensei and Kondo-Sensei don't want the situation to get out of control.
I think they'll settle it in peace.
I'm more concerned about your condition, Okita-San!
Don't worry.
Everyone else is worried, too.
Come on. They're worried about you, too, Heiske.
This is not exactly true.
Kondo-San and the others were very worried about you.
We will always be the youngest, so everyone is so excited.
Second home Condo with IP
It looks like he really came alone.
He's much bolder than I thought.
Thank you for agreeing to the meeting.
I rented this house for Oyuki.
I don't think we can be bothered here.
There were some misunderstandings between us.
I asked for a meeting to settle things without blood.
Misunderstandings...
I think Saito-kun told me that I was ordered to kill you.
Yes, I did.
I'll be honest.
I'm not going to do that.
So, Saito was lying?
I knew from the beginning that he was a spy.
I was convinced of this when I asked him to help me in the attempt on your life.
Thus, I have revealed his intentions. I didn't really mean to kill you.
Do you understand?
Ito-Sensei, this is not entirely decent.
You seem to take me for a fool.
You're a smart man.
Clear. Then I'll tell you the truth.
Ito-Sensei decided to kill Kondo-Sensei?
Yes.
They didn't tell me anything!
It was necessary for you to convince Shinsengumi of our goodwill.
They will probably attack soon. So be prepared.
Are you unhappy?
Aren't you a student of the ito dojo?
I don't want anyone to die.
Why didn't ito-Sensei tell me the truth?
So he doesn't trust me?
Sensei didn't say anything for your own good.
Think about why he sent you?
After tonight, we and the Shinsengumi will be enemies.
He allowed you to talk to your comrades for the last time.
Is it true that ito is Dating the commander?
So there's a chance to get rid of it.
Kumajiro!
After all, he was going to kill Kondo-Sensei!
It's none of our business.
We shouldn't interfere.
After our assignment to guard the crypt and the events that followed, I realized something.
The fact that I am a former Shinsengumi samurai is very much a hindrance to my career.
This is another proof that there is no one stronger than Shinsengumi - the strong are always disliked.
Okubo of Satsuma asked me to kill you.
To become one of them, I would have to destroy the Shinsengumi.
Thank you for the information.
However, I made a mistake.
A man can't erase his past.
Everyone will always remember that I was in Kondo Isami's squad.
This means that even if my ideas are accepted, they will submit them as their own.
That's how I feel right now.
I wanted to say...
I'm listening.
It's not because you were in Shinsengumi that people don't listen to your opinion.
What do you mean?
Satsuma and Choshu attempt to finally destroy the Tokugawa Shogunate in order to create a new system.
And they are going to become the head of the government.
I can't forgive them.
A bunch of people are hiding behind reforms and big words to take power into their own hands.
You were not accepted into the pack because you are from Shinsengumi.
All this is because you are not from Satsuma or Choshu.
Even my death won't change anything.
I can understand you.
Many times I was not recognized only because of my peasant blood.
I spent a lot of effort before I convinced everyone that I was a samurai.
That's why I accepted everyone in Shinsengumi, regardless of their social status.
The top can only be conquered by perseverance and hard work.
This is the main moral of the Shinsengumi.
I fight because, in time, I hope to convince everyone that I am right.
You convinced me.
Perfectly.
At the beginning of the meeting, I was going to kill you.
I knew it.
Did you feel this before we met?
You didn't think you could die?
I just took another deadly risk.
I lost.
It wasn't a question of winning or losing.
We must complete this as soon as possible.
We have different goals, but we are ready to do anything for our country.
Maybe one day we'll be on the same side again.
Ito!
Are you from Shinsengumi?
Idiots. You are nullifying Kondo-Sensei's efforts!
Terrible news!
Don't judge young people. They did what they thought was right.
We'll be in trouble.
Ito's people will not be idle.
That's what I was afraid of.
Please give me a free hand.
A good chance to end this once and for all.
I did not touch the body of the ito.
I told the police, and they'll tell ito's people.
No doubt they would immediately rush to the body.
We'll set up an ambush.
There will be difficulties.
You are about Haske?
He must not die.
What's going on?!
According to police, on the way back, ito-Sensei started a fight with several Tosa samurai and they injured him.
I don't believe it!
This is all Shinsengumi's tricks!
We need to go there immediately with the palanquin.
This is a trap.
You think?..
Sensei is already dead.
We must hurry!
Whether it's a trap or not, we can't leave Sensei lying on the street!
Get ready, and quickly!
They're here.
Sensei...
Put it in the palanquin.
Flee.
What is it?
Is it true that our people have come to grips with ito's people?
You can't get up.
And Heiske?
I ordered you to save him.
You must understand that he will not run away.
He has his own pride, too!
Soji!
Hurry up in there.
Only Kondo-San can save Heiske.
What does it do?
Why the hell aren't you running away?
Depart. I can handle it.
Hurry up!
Heiske, I can't kill you.
What is this idiot doing?
That's enough. The battle is already over.
Stop it!
Heiske!
Stop it!
Run!
Heiske!
Sensei...
Don't die!
This is how it should be...
You are a true samurai.
Thank you.
Heiske!
We lost another comrade.
