Kyoto, 1864
If...
We were somewhere else instead of here,
would our fates
have turned out even more different?
This is the place. This is where that band of reckless batards is hiding.
Let's hurry up and go in then, Hijikata-san. Otherwise--
Calm down, Heisuke!
But...
You...
You can't use this elixir.
But if I do, we can have the power of a demon on our side.
Although you will not become a real devil,
it will eventually consume your life.
And before you die, you will completely forget who you are.
Without any hope of finding your human form.
Can you accept that?
I understand.
I will lead the attack.
Yes. Very well.
- I'll go with Hajime-kun. - So we are counting on you.
Impulsive sensei, I will take the rear as I always do.
I will go with you, Harada.
So I'll go with Hijikata-san then.
Soji, don't be too hot-blooded.
I am not the only hot-blooded one among us.
Hijikata Toshizo. The Shinsengumi have arrived!
Take this chance.
Go!
You better beware... bastards!
­
Come to me, Shinsengumi!
Out of the way!
I will take care of this.

Yukimura!
Are you okay?
Behind you!
You bastard!
Hijikata-san!
So you really came here to rescue this reckless girl.
Well, let's go.
Do you think Hijikata has rescued Chizuru?
I have faith in Hijikata-san.
Soji is also there. Don't you worry.
­
Chizuru! Chizuru, this way!
Chizuru! Hurry !
Go on.
­
Thanks.
No need for any thanks.
Even though I hate you,
if the commander fell here,
Chief Kondo would be sad.
That would be unacceptable.
Chizuru-chan. Let me be the one to protect you.
Take Chizuru-chan out of here first!
Okay!
Go!
Look out!
Yukimura,
are you okay?
I'm okay.
I'm just feeling a little weak.
I
don't want you to die.
Just hang in there a little longer.
Once I love a woman, I will not let her die.
Ibuki-kun! Ibuki-kun!
Are you okay?
I... Shit.
What happened, Ibuki?
Saito...senpai...
Hurry and answer!
Oh, Harada! What's up?
Yukimura's gotten tangled up with a group of unsavory people.
You said it before, right, those kinds of bastards that can't be forgiven.
Are you okay?
Ryunosuke!
Harada-sensei!
I'm sorry.
Where's Yukimura? Where did she get taken by those guys?
Saito-senpai went after those guys.
It hurts!
No! Let go of me! Let go of me!
How noisy!
If you won't be quiet, then... got it?
Wait.
Saito-senpai!
How about letting go of that girl?
Hah? What did you say, pretty boy?
Are we going to have a go at it?
Hey!
You guys won't be able to win.
What?
I'll fight him.
Eh?
Don't you dare touch that girl until I get back. Got that?!
Yes, sir!
Let's go!
Come on, girl!
Saito-senpai!
Calm down!
Let's have a duel.
Where did you take that girl?
Saito!
Hakuouki SSL : Sweet School Life ~ #5 As a Comrade
This is where you're at? Not going to leave yet?
I'm still exhausted from practice. Hajime-kun was especially overpowering today.
Hajime-kun really has no mercy.
Oh? Heisuke, you seem like you're more at peace now.
Really?
It's a huge turnaround from earlier.
It's because I can't change the fact that I am who I am.
What?
I've decided about the people I like and dislike.
On top of accepting how those people see me,
I have no choice but to show them exactly what kind of person I am.
Huh? It's Hajime-kun. That's odd.
My bride. What are you thinking right now?
For you, what is it that I can do?
Kazama!
What's wrong with you? Coming in so disheveled?
I just heard some news from Amagiri.
Harada!
And Saito, you as well.
I just followed my instincts and found myself here.
So is Ibuki alright?
Yeah, I left him with Yukimura's friends.
- Where is Yukimura? - She's over there.
Stop here!
You two as well.
They too have followed their instincts.
We made inquiries and
it seems there are quite a few thugs inside.
This is an emergency. We must respond as quickly as possible.
Since there are so many of them inside we should have a set number of people for the job
I see.
Hey. Where's Shinpachi-san? Wouldn't it be better if he were here?
- I've already called him. - Ah, that's good.
And yet he's still not here.
I think he went to watch the races. So his phone was shut off.
We can't wait.
Ah, let's go!
This is the place. This is where they've taken Yukimura.
We should hurry inside, Hijikata-sensei. Otherwise...
- Calm down, Heisuke. - But...
You...
This is something Sannan-sensei gave me before we left. Even though before, I said I didn't want it.
It looks like something that would shorten your life after drinking it.
Even though I don't fully understand it, it does seem a little frightening, doesn't it?
When faced with a decision that could alter your lifespan, follow your instincts if it tells you it's a bad idea.
Got it.
Hijikata-sensei, let me lead the attack.
Ah, as you wish.
I'll go with Hajime-kun.
Then as usual, let me cover the exit.
I'm counting on you, Harada.
Well then, that leaves me following Hijikata-san, then.
Don't be overly impulsive, Soji.
But are you sure it's ok for you to go in like this?
I suppose there was a reason Saito made me bring these.
­
This is not violence. Because we are doing this to protect Yukimura.
- What, you couldn't bring a staff? - Huh? Why would you ask that?
Heh, funny I'm not sure. It just felt like I should ask.
But, it does feel a bit nostalgic, doesn't it? To see Hijikata-sensei and Sano-san
take up swords like this. It really makes you think of the past.
- Let us hurry then. - That's right.
- We can't continue dawdling like this. - Let's go!
What the he--
The f**k!
What the heck?
Who the hell are you?
We are...
members of the Seikan dojo!
- Now is the time. - Go!
You'd better be prepared, you bastards!
What the hell is going on he...!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Shinsengumi Team @ Viki.com
Move!
Hold it right there! I don't care if you're from Sheikan Dojo or whatever the hell dojo.
If you got balls then come up and fight me!
Move!
Let me handle things here.
What are you gonna do, bastard!
Yukimura! Hey!
Yukimura!
Are you okay?
Behind you!
- Hijikata-sensei! - Stay here!
Just for this woman you came here and made such a ruckus.
Let's go.
Do you think Hijikata has rescued Chizuru?
I have complete faith in Hijikata-sensei.
Soji's also there. Relax.
Chizuru!
Chizuru! This way!
Go on.
­
- Thank you. - No need.
I really hate you. But
Kondo relies on you the most.
So if that's the case, I can only approve.
Heisuke, you're monopolizing Chizuru.
Talking here won't do any good. Be careful not to get hit!
Please. How on earth could I possibly get hit?
­
Chizuru-chan, I'll be the one to protect you.
Hey, hurry up and take Chizuru out of here.
I got it.
Go!
Look out!
Yukimura!
♫ Our first encounter is destined, it's our fate after a century ♫
♫ The strobe of memory ♫
♫ Gradually revives the feelings of that moment ♫
♫ As the seasons come and go, ♫
♫ The flowers of our promise bloom and fly toward the place we meet again ♫
♫ This feeling that travels through time now ♫
♫ Constantly resonates deep in my heart ♫
♫ The more I think of you, the stronger this feeling gets ♫
♫ The words I want to say to you are about to overflow, but at last I swallow them all ♫
♫ Again, I make the same mistake ♫
♫ Love, dream and even feeling ♫
♫ All seem to have no silhouette but actually have certain shapes ♫
♫ This feeling that travels through time now ♫
♫ Constantly resonates deep in my heart The more I think of you, ♫
♫ the stronger this feeling gets We'll surely meet each other ♫
♫ and depict our dream together Before lasting love ♫
♫ The refrain of love shall connect our future ♫
