00:00:00I guess that's the only place I can go.
00:00:04No matter how many times you come, you can't do anything wrong!
00:00:07I'll do something about that! Please!
00:00:09How dare you!
00:00:10You can't let a member of the upper class enter the school!
00:00:14That's against the rules of the school!
00:00:16That's not true! I'm a foreigner!
00:00:18I want to learn English so that I won't be left behind when I leave the school!
00:00:24I've been looking for English textbooks for a year, but I can't find any!
00:00:29Hey, I'm begging you! Just let me hear it from the hallway!
00:00:32You!
00:00:35Could it be...
00:00:39That time...
00:00:42You!
00:00:48I didn't expect to see you here.
00:00:53Thank you for that time.
00:00:56Come to think of it, you said you were a foreigner.
00:01:02What's the matter? Have you changed your mind?
00:01:05No! I'm a foreigner!
00:01:08I just went to stop my friends from going to the bar.
00:01:11Oh?
00:01:12I went to that school because I really wanted to learn English.
00:01:16I see. I thought you were a different type from the upper class.
00:01:22A type?
00:01:23English.
00:01:24English?
00:01:25Well, I guess you could say that.
00:01:28It's true that Japan has no choice but to leave the country.
00:01:31But if Japan's 64 states and 300 states are divided, that's not good either.
00:01:37Yeah. If the country doesn't join forces and confront the U.S.
00:01:41But even if the country joins forces, we can't fight right now.
00:01:47If the U.K. and the U.S. join forces, they won't be able to fight against each other.
00:01:54So we have to look at the world more closely, learn about foreign culture,
00:01:58save money by trading, and strengthen the country.
00:02:02That's why I want to learn English.
00:02:05Right?
00:02:06Yeah, I think so.
00:02:08But isn't that bad?
00:02:11If the people of the upper class are like that...
00:02:15By the way, what's wrong with your head?
00:02:19It's not good for the heart to beat so fast.
00:02:22This?
00:02:23It's not like I have a boss.
00:02:26I'm not good with stiff people.
00:02:29But you were there, so isn't it because you're the same age as Ioriki?
00:02:33No, my dad is a street martial artist.
00:02:36Street martial artist?
00:02:37Yeah.
00:02:38Yeah.
00:02:39His father told me to know a little about my father,
00:02:43so I just imitated him.
00:02:45So you're the son of a street martial artist?
00:02:48You must be from a great family.
00:02:50I might be a street martial artist, but right now I'm just a street martial artist.
00:02:55Street martial artist?
00:02:57By letting us escape?
00:03:00Don't worry about it.
00:03:02Thanks to you, I can study as much as I want.
00:03:05You're...
00:03:07By the way, about your English...
00:03:10If you don't mind, I can take care of it.
00:03:13Are you sure?
00:03:14I'll make up for what I learned in school that day.
00:03:17Even if you listen to it from the side, there's nothing I can do.
00:03:22Please, Onikiru!
00:03:24By the way, we didn't even say our names.
00:03:28I'm Keiichiro Akizuki.
00:03:30I'm Touma Kusaka, from Choshu.
00:03:35I'll read this sentence as follows.
00:03:38Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan.
00:03:43Highest means high.
00:03:46It's time for Kawaraban! Kawaraban!
00:03:49Today's capital has finally announced a stormy storm!
00:03:52A fierce battle is about to break out!
00:03:55The Shinsengumi are ready to take it on!
00:03:59If you want to know what's going on, come with me!
00:04:08I want some candy.
00:04:14Akizuki-san.
00:04:15Have you been waiting long?
00:04:17No.
00:04:18Kyoto seems to be in a lot of trouble.
00:04:22The shogunate is working hard to get permission from Hatamoto and his family.
00:04:27They're going to create an organization called Mimawarigumi.
00:04:31Don't tell me Akizuki-san is part of that Mimawarigumi?
00:04:35No.
00:04:37That's right.
00:04:39Akizuki-san doesn't seem to be part of it.
00:04:41I guess not.
00:04:42But the shogunate is working hard because they're all Choshu warriors.
00:04:48Choshu is in a bad mood.
00:04:50Mr. Nagai, who was in charge of opening the country, was dismissed.
00:04:53On the other hand, Mr. Katsura and the higher-ups are in charge of politics.
00:04:57At this rate, the relationship with Tokugawa will deteriorate.
00:05:02What's going to happen next?
00:05:05There's something we have to do before we know what's going to happen.
00:05:10Yes.
00:05:11Today, I learned about the highest level.
00:05:14The highest level?
00:05:16The highest level is...
00:05:18The highest level of Zato, Keiyoshi, or Fukushi.
00:05:22What's this nice scent?
00:05:25This is incense.
00:05:27And it's very expensive.
00:05:29After all, good-looking people have different incenses.
00:05:44Akizuki-san.
00:05:46I'm sorry every time.
00:05:48Today, I even had to revenge on my father-in-law.
00:05:52But I...
00:05:53Don't worry about it.
00:05:54Anyway, don't think too much about it.
00:05:58Every night, you spend your sleeping time memorizing English words, don't you?
00:06:03Your eyes are a little red.
00:06:05It's obvious that you haven't slept enough.
00:06:07Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't sleep enough?
00:06:11No, I'm fine.
00:06:13Don't worry.
00:06:14I'll do my best so that I won't cause you any trouble.
00:06:19Do whatever you want.
00:06:24By the way, have you ever eaten dango at a tea shop?
00:06:28Huh?
00:06:32I wanted to eat dango like this.
00:06:35Akizuki-san, you've never eaten dango?
00:06:38No, I have.
00:06:41But this is my first time eating dango.
00:06:44I see.
00:06:45Don't look at other people's faces and eat it.
00:06:51Oh, it's delicious.
00:06:54Ah...
00:07:03When I'm with Akizuki-san like this,
00:07:05I forget all about festivals and bloody incidents.
00:07:11I feel very happy.
00:07:13In English, it's called happiness.
00:07:16It's like that.
00:07:18I think it's an irreplaceable time.
00:07:22Me too.
00:07:30Hey, Kusaka.
00:07:32Why don't we move to a different place?
00:07:34We can study together.
00:07:36Why?
00:07:37I can't see that shrine, but it's not like it's not there.
00:07:42No, it's not like I'm covering my eyes.
00:07:47You're right.
00:07:49But Choshu and the shrine have a delicate relationship.
00:07:53It's a hassle to search for it.
00:07:57That's right.
00:07:58I like that place.
00:08:00There's a special place for me.
00:08:02Let's meet there alone.
00:08:11So this is Akizuki-san's special place.
00:08:15Yeah.
00:08:16It's pretty good, right?
00:08:21No one will bother us here.
00:08:24That's right.
00:08:28All right, let's get started.
00:08:30Oh, yes.
00:08:31Today's topic is the future.
00:08:35We used all the time we had,
00:08:39argued, and talked about the future.
00:08:44Maybe that's what we call the future.
00:08:59It's getting late.
00:09:01I ended up talking to you.
00:09:09The scent of the wind.
00:09:12It's almost summer.
00:09:16All right.
00:09:17Let's study English again tonight.
00:09:25Aizawa!
00:09:27Why are you in my room?
00:09:30Get out!
00:09:32Kusaka.
00:09:33Where have you been?
00:09:36It's none of your business.
00:09:38You've been acting strange lately.
00:09:40You suddenly disappeared from this mansion.
00:09:43You stole someone's eyes and were reading something.
00:09:46This book.
00:09:48It was on your desk.
00:09:50It's an English book.
00:09:52Is this what you're reading?
00:09:54The book you're holding right now is the same, right?
00:09:59Listen up.
00:10:00Stop it.
00:10:01We Choshu are the top class.
00:10:04If you act like a Westerner,
00:10:06your comrades will...
00:10:07You don't know anything!
00:10:09What?
00:10:10All you do is fight for power!
00:10:14What's wrong with fighting for power?
00:10:17If I find you next time,
00:10:18I won't let you off easy as a Choshu rebel.
00:10:21Prepare yourself.
00:10:28Akizuki.
00:10:30I wonder if he's not here yet.
00:10:39Akizuki.
00:10:46Akizuki.
00:11:03He fell asleep.
00:11:06Kusaka.
00:11:09You should have woken me up.
00:11:11You slept a lot.
00:11:15Beyond this river is the sea.
00:11:18Beyond that is a foreign country.
00:11:21When I think about it, my heart...
00:11:23How should I put it?
00:11:24It's filled with joy.
00:11:26That's why you like this place, Akizuki.
00:11:29Yes, that's right.
00:11:32A foreign country.
00:11:34Kusaka, you should go to a foreign country someday.
00:11:37It's not long before you can go to a foreign country.
00:11:42Akizuki.
00:11:44Don't say that in front of anyone but me.
00:11:47I'm saying it because it's you.
00:11:49I'm also a man of the Tokusen Roku.
00:11:52If I say something rare, I'll get fired.
00:11:55Akizuki.
00:11:57I'm not saying it's Tokugawa's fault.
00:12:01To support Japan in the future with Tokugawa alone
00:12:04It's too heavy.
00:12:06At this rate, it will be eaten up like a tree.
00:12:10I think the shogunate should change its position as soon as possible
00:12:13I think we should create a government that is unified in the first half.
00:12:17Stop being so particular about meeting the samurai and the shogun.
00:12:20While listening to Akizuki's gentle voice,
00:12:24I thought.
00:12:26What a beautiful human being.
00:12:30That was different from Renbo's feelings.
00:12:35Akizuki.
00:12:37I want to thank you.
00:12:41What is it?
00:12:43I haven't done anything to thank you.
00:12:46I want you to accept my feelings.
00:12:50Please.
00:12:52If you say that much, I understand.
00:12:55What?
00:12:56What do you want?
00:12:58Then...
00:13:00I want to go to Sakariba once.
00:13:03Go to Sakariba?
00:13:05Is that okay?
00:13:08I understand.
00:13:10Let's go to Sakariba.
00:13:16It's amazing.
00:13:18This is Ryomoto.
00:13:19It's a big Sakariba in Edo.
00:13:21There are a lot of people and it's lively.
00:13:24It's a good place.
00:13:26Akizuki.
00:13:27You said this was your first time eating dango at a dango shop.
00:13:31Is this your first time eating dango at a tea shop?
00:13:34Yes.
00:13:35I've always wanted to eat dango at a tea shop since I was a child.
00:13:40I've never walked alone since I was little.
00:13:43You always had a companion.
00:13:46In the world, it's called a master.
00:13:49But it's annoying.
00:13:52I'm old enough to walk around freely.
00:13:56I don't know what the world is like.
00:13:59I tried to go to Sakariba, but I ended up walking alone.
00:14:10It's grass.
00:14:11Let's go in there.
00:14:12Namban Torai...
00:14:14Is it a fake hut?
00:14:16Tozai, Tozai.
00:14:18Ireshimashitaru has arrived from heaven.
00:14:22It's a huge beast.
00:14:36Grass.
00:14:37I bought it in the hut.
00:14:40There are Nishikiya, Okimono, Senbei, and Manju.
00:14:43It's good.
00:14:45This is for you.
00:14:50Thank you, Mr. Akizuki.
00:14:53I'll take you to an interesting place.
00:14:59It's just a bookstore.
00:15:02Look.
00:15:03It's different from that kind of bookstore.
00:15:14What did you see?
00:15:17Shunga?
00:15:20Mr. Akizuki.
00:15:22Is this the first time you've seen Shunga?
00:15:25It's cute.
00:15:30Welcome.
00:15:34Grass.
00:15:35Do you have a nickname?
00:15:37What?
00:15:38A nickname.
00:15:39Yes, I have one.
00:15:42It's a nickname that my parents gave me.
00:15:45It's like a childhood friend.
00:15:47I don't have any objections.
00:15:49I see.
00:15:51Mr. Akizuki, you have one too, right?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:54I've had one since I was born.
00:15:57But I've never seen his face.
00:16:00I see.
00:16:02Grass.
00:16:04I'm worried.
00:16:07Will I be able to love someone I've never seen?
00:16:37It was the moment I realized it was love.
00:16:46Excuse me.
00:16:47It's nothing.
00:16:48Aizawa.
00:16:49Oh, it's you, Grass.
00:16:51I didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:55Who are you?
00:16:57I'm...
00:17:00Where are you going?
00:17:02I'm going to the library.
00:17:04I see.
00:17:07I think I've seen you somewhere.
00:17:10You're mistaken.
00:17:12S-See you.
00:17:17That samurai...
00:17:19I'm sure...
00:17:21When I met Aizawa,
00:17:24I realized that I was in self-defense.
00:17:28Mr. Akizuki and I are not meant to be together.
00:17:59It's hot!
00:18:03I haven't been to that place with Mr. Akizuki since then.
00:18:12Ranko!
00:18:13It's a bomb!
00:18:14That's right!
00:18:15What's with the special effect?
00:18:16It's a combination of English and American.
00:18:18It's like a treaty!
00:18:20But didn't you make a wish to become a god in Kyoto?
00:18:24It's a contradiction!
00:18:25Are you a foreigner or a god?
00:18:27Which is it?
00:18:28The one who marries a god is us, Choshu!
00:18:31It's a war!
00:18:32A foreign war!
00:18:36The Choshu faction is no longer a god.
00:18:39The rebellion against Tokugawa is getting stronger,
00:18:42and the odds of being defeated are increasing.
00:18:46And...
00:18:51It's no good.
00:18:52I can't go see Mr. Akizuki.
00:19:03Is Mr. Akizuki waiting for me again today?
00:19:18Damn it!
00:19:23Kusaka!
00:19:36Kusaka!
00:19:39Who are you guys?
00:19:41Where did you go?
00:19:45That's none of your business!
00:19:48Can't you say that?
00:19:50I heard that you've been very busy lately.
00:19:56Did he...
00:19:58Did he talk?
00:20:00You were saved by Mr. Akizuki, too!
00:20:04What are you up to?
00:20:06What are you up to?
00:20:09Don't tell me you're a spy for the Shogunate.
00:20:13It's better to go out with a samurai than to be like a disease.
00:20:22What?
00:20:23Don't listen to him!
00:20:24Say that again!
00:20:26I'll say it again!
00:20:28You guys have no right to say anything bad about Mr. Akizuki!
00:20:43Damn it!
00:20:44Those guys...
00:20:46They did everything they could to stop me.
00:20:50You got beaten up again.
00:20:54Mr. Sufu!
00:20:58When did you get to Edo?
00:21:02I got here today.
00:21:03After the rampage.
00:21:06I can't sit still anymore.
00:21:13I heard that you fought with the Mitate group today.
00:21:18Yes.
00:21:20Have you changed your mind?
00:21:22I'm ready to retreat.
00:21:25What will you do after you leave the army?
00:21:28You don't have to be afraid of the Shogunate.
00:21:31It's just a waste of time for an old man like you to shout about leaving the country.
00:21:35But...
00:21:37Do you want to go to London?
00:21:41London?
00:21:43England?
00:21:44Idiot!
00:21:45You're too loud.
00:21:46I'm sorry.
00:21:47Only a few people in the army know about it.
00:21:50Many people have already said it.
00:21:52If the people of the army knew about it,
00:21:54they might be killed for spilling blood on foreign enemies.
00:22:02I'm going!
00:22:03Please let me go!
00:22:04Please!
00:22:12London
00:22:16London
00:22:39He's not coming today, either.
00:22:43Akiyuki!
00:22:50Grass?
00:22:56I see.
00:22:58Are you going to England?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:02That's good.
00:23:04It's useful that you've been studying hard.
00:23:09People like you who can see the future should look at the big world.
00:23:16That's not all.
00:23:22I'm a coward!
00:23:24If the relationship between the Shogunate and Choshu gets worse,
00:23:27I might have to fight Akiyuki.
00:23:31I don't want that, so I...
00:23:38Don't be angry.
00:23:40Listen to me.
00:23:42I like you.
00:23:44I'm seriously in love with you.
00:23:48I want to suck your lips.
00:23:51I want to touch your skin.
00:23:53Anyway, I'm going to disappear from your sight tomorrow.
00:23:56Think of it as a farewell and leave me alone for the night.
00:24:00Think of it as a farewell and leave me alone for the night.
00:24:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:17Can't you wait for me until I get home?
00:24:31Akizuki...
00:24:49I loved you, too.
00:24:55I can't believe it.
00:24:58This is a dream.
00:25:00I haven't been able to take my eyes off you since we first met.
00:25:27I love you.
00:25:44You're beautiful.
00:25:46Your skin is white and beautiful.
00:25:49You don't have any scars.
00:25:51I can't be proud of that for a man.
00:25:55You've finally become more popular than most people.
00:25:59I know that.
00:26:01When I first met you, you had a great personality.
00:26:06Maybe it's because of my family background.
00:26:09I've been able to play freely since I was a kid.
00:26:12I was reckless, too.
00:26:14That's why my skin is still black.
00:26:17I still have a lot of scars and bruises.
00:26:21What happened to this scar?
00:26:23It's a new one.
00:26:25I had a little fight with my gang.
00:26:29They know I don't pull out my sword.
00:26:32When there's a fight, I always end up like this.
00:26:35You don't pull out your sword?
00:26:37I hate it.
00:26:39It's more frustrating for me to pull out my sword in a bar than to get hit in the face.
00:26:49You might laugh at me for pulling out my sword.
00:26:54That's why I fell in love with you.
00:26:59When I first met you,
00:27:01you couldn't even touch your sword when you were about to die.
00:27:07Your eyes, as if trying to cut through that place with no power, were impressive.
00:27:12I can tell by this hand that you haven't neglected your sword training.
00:27:17There's no way you, who has the strength to rely on that strength, would be a coward.
00:27:28Akizuki-san!
00:27:30Akizuki-san!
00:27:47Akizuki-san!
00:27:53Light a fire in my body.
00:27:58Give me you, who is so close to me that I can't feel my body.
00:28:11Akizuki-san!
00:28:13Akizuki-san!
00:28:16I'll give you everything I have.
00:28:20I'll carve it into your body.
00:28:31Akizuki-san, I can really feel it.
00:28:42Akizuki-san!
00:29:12Akizuki-san...
00:29:42Sakuya...
00:30:12Ah...
00:30:42Autumn
00:30:59It's a cicada's song.
00:31:01Even though it's already autumn.
00:31:03Even if it returns, it'll probably die soon.
00:31:13Autumn
00:31:21If we weren't in this era, we might have been able to stay together longer.
00:31:30I'm sure that kind of era will come.
00:31:32A day when we can meet without being trapped by status or class.
00:31:42Until then, I hope we can continue to sleep like this cicada.
00:32:12Autumn
00:32:28Akizuki-san, how are you?
00:32:31It's been four years since I came here.
00:32:34Every day, I learn about the technology, politics, tactics, law, and culture of this country.
00:32:42Here in England, the railways have been in operation for more than 30 years.
00:32:46They are changing the world.
00:32:49In the industrial area, there are large factories lined up.
00:32:52There are countless chimneys that emit black smoke.
00:32:55It's so refreshing that it's hard to describe.
00:32:58Japan
00:33:03In this university, I learn about the law, politics, and tactics of this country.
00:33:09It's necessary knowledge for Japan to cooperate with other countries.
00:33:16I also went to a beer factory.
00:33:20This is a type of alcohol that is made by adding hops.
00:33:24It's quite delicious.
00:33:26I want to make Akizuki-san drink it, too.
00:33:36There are many other things I want to show Akizuki-san.
00:33:40Oh, that's great.
00:33:43This is great, too.
00:33:45Kusaka, I want to make it happen in Japan, too.
00:33:49I'm sure the two of us will make a new Japan.
00:33:56Akizuki-san
00:34:14Akizuki-san
00:34:18I want to see you.
00:34:21Japan
00:34:26I want to bring back the knowledge I learned in the Seioh and create a new world.
00:34:31That was my wish.
00:34:34But Japan was pushing forward with great momentum.
00:34:39The Tokugawa era, which lasted for 214 years, was over.
00:34:46The Tokugawa era was over.
00:34:50The Tokugawa era was over.
00:34:56The Tokugawa era was over.
00:35:03The Greatest Civil War, which will continue for a year and a half.
00:35:16Keiichiro, I think it's time for me to hand over the family heirloom to you.
00:35:29Father.
00:35:30My Akizuki family is a family of warriors who have been protecting the lord since the Mikawa era.
00:35:38From now on, as the head of the Akizuki family, protect Tokugawa no matter what happens.
00:35:45Yes, sir.
00:35:48Understood.
00:36:03It's finally begun.
00:36:06When I returned to Japan after being informed of the outbreak of the Boshin War,
00:36:13I saw the worst possible outcome for Akizuki-san.
00:36:19Fire!
00:36:36The ex-Bakufu army, which was standing in the middle of the Hakodate,
00:36:39was already on the verge of collapse,
00:36:42with the Shinseifu army behind it.
00:36:44But they didn't try to accept the repeated surrender,
00:36:48and continued to fight to the bitter end.
00:36:52The only thing I could do was to end this war as soon as possible
00:36:57and save him from this bloody battlefield.
00:37:01That was the only thing I could do.
00:37:04With the contradiction that it might be the result of killing him.
00:37:20Hey, are you okay?
00:37:22Hang in there!
00:37:28Yo, Akizuki!
00:37:29You're alive!
00:37:30Otori-san!
00:37:31How's it going over there?
00:37:33I'm the only one left.
00:37:36I see.
00:37:37There are only a few of them left over there.
00:37:41It's a battle that's decided by the number and performance of the cannon.
00:37:44The sword is already...
00:37:47Just kidding.
00:37:50From now on, a few of the remaining people will cut into the enemy's main camp.
00:37:55What will you do?
00:37:56That's what I want.
00:37:57Let's show the pirates the power of Bakushin.
00:38:27Come on.
00:38:58Stop firing!
00:39:03There's no reaction from the enemy!
00:39:08All right, I'll cut in.
00:39:10However, don't lay a hand on anyone who comes down quietly.
00:39:13You bastard!
00:39:14Don't go ahead of me!
00:39:15Yes, sir!
00:39:16Hey!
00:39:19Tch!
00:39:20Aizawa-don.
00:39:23Aizawa-don.
00:39:24The people of Choshu seem to have a deep grudge against Bakushin.
00:39:28This Kusaka-don will cut into the enemy's main camp himself, no matter how fierce the battle is.
00:39:33He's as stubborn as a baby.
00:39:38Kusaka is going back to Yokohama.
00:39:41The reason he's so obsessed with Bakushin is for a different reason.
00:39:46Is he going to look for that man's body?
00:39:53Please stay alive.
00:39:55I'm begging you.
00:39:57Stay alive!
00:39:58Stay alive!
00:40:21Akizuki-san!
00:40:28Akizuki-san!
00:40:39I was wrong.
00:40:58Akizuki-san.
00:41:03Akizuki-san.
00:41:23Akizuki!
00:41:25Akizuki! Are you all right?
00:41:27Akizuki!
00:41:36Please go.
00:41:38Otori-san.
00:41:40You idiot!
00:41:41I'll take you with me!
00:41:44Akizuki.
00:41:47I'm begging you, Otori-san.
00:41:50Don't die in vain here.
00:41:54If you don't go, you'll die.
00:41:57Go!
00:42:19The enemy soldiers will come soon.
00:42:22We have to finish this quickly.
00:42:27I'm sorry.
00:42:33Is this the only way to use a sword?
00:42:38I'm sorry.
00:42:52This is the last time I'll see that man.
00:43:07Episode 2
00:43:12Hey.
00:43:13Isn't that Mr. Kusaka's horse?
00:43:16What's going on?
00:43:20Let's go.
00:43:37Huh?
00:43:40Akizuki-san?
00:43:47Akizuki-san!
00:43:51Akizuki-san!
00:43:53Akizuki-san!
00:43:57Akizuki-san!
00:43:59You're alive!
00:44:01Kusaka.
00:44:02Kusaka.
00:44:05Please don't kill yourself!
00:44:07Just surrender to the army!
00:44:09I'll protect the honor of the samurai!
00:44:13It's fine now.
00:44:16I just met you at the end.
00:44:21What are you saying?
00:44:22Let's get out of here!
00:44:33Can you explain to me?
00:44:40I want you to stay alive.
00:44:43If you stay alive,
00:44:46my wish will come true.
00:44:52That wish is...
00:44:59No!
00:45:00No!
00:45:01I won't let you die!
00:45:03I can't.
00:45:05At least let me die in peace at the end.
00:45:09No!
00:45:10I won't let you die!
00:45:11Why?
00:45:12Why did you join the war when you knew you'd lose?
00:45:15Even if you were humiliated, would you stay in Edo?
00:45:17Or would you go to Tokugawa?
00:45:19You should have chosen Akizuki-san's identity!
00:45:24Akizuki-san was supposed to be progressive.
00:45:27Why?
00:45:29I had a dream.
00:45:32A dream?
00:45:33We, Bakushin,
00:45:36wanted to create a new world.
00:45:40Rather than living as if we were losing,
00:45:43we wanted to create the world we wanted with our own hands.
00:45:48In that world,
00:45:50I wanted to wait for you with pride.
00:45:54No way!
00:45:59Kusaka-san!
00:46:02You're safe!
00:46:06Kusaka-san!
00:46:07That's...
00:46:08an enemy!
00:46:10Are you treating it?
00:46:15I'm sorry, Akizuki-san.
00:46:17I was blind.
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:22I'm counting on you.
00:46:28I'm counting on you.
00:46:59Huh?
00:47:15Hurry!
00:47:16Take off your gimbals!
00:47:17Put on this sleeve!
00:47:19If you're an injured soldier, there's a way to save you!
00:47:24I swear...
00:47:25I'll protect you!
00:47:29Who is this man?
00:47:35Is he the calm man I know?
00:47:56Tokyo
00:48:05It's been four years since Edo was re-established as Tokyo.
00:48:10Due to the surrender of the former Bakufu army,
00:48:13the Boshin War came to an end,
00:48:16and two years passed.
00:48:20The former Bakufu army, where Akizuki-san was,
00:48:22and the Boshin War, where the former Bakufu army, where Akizuki-san was,
00:48:25were all surrendered.
00:48:30As a result, the Boshin War
00:48:33forced the former Bakufu army to retreat,
00:48:36and modern Japan was supposed to begin.
00:48:39However,
00:48:41there were those who left the past behind.
00:48:53Welcome back, sir.
00:49:00Sir,
00:49:01dinner is ready.
00:49:04I see.
00:49:06Also,
00:49:07could you give me a thick, cold dish tonight?
00:49:10Certainly.
00:49:22Here you go.
00:49:33Sir,
00:49:34who do you eat with every day?
00:49:38You're a foreign minister,
00:49:40but you're taking care of yourself.
00:49:42Is the man over there
00:49:44perhaps
00:49:45a stranger?
00:49:47I thought it was a requirement
00:49:49to not make unnecessary moves.
00:49:52I-I'm sorry.
00:49:59The young master
00:50:01was completely changed by that war.
00:50:04Even this Ito,
00:50:06who is the only one who is allowed to take care of him,
00:50:08sometimes looks at him
00:50:10with cold, lonely eyes.
00:50:13As if
00:50:14he's still on the battlefield.
00:50:39Come in.
00:50:41I brought you dinner.
00:50:45How is it?
00:50:48I'll leave it here.
00:50:50Eat it when you feel like it.
00:50:56I'm sorry.
00:50:57It's cold, isn't it?
00:50:58But
00:50:59I can't set it on fire.
00:51:02I can't leave anything dangerous around me.
00:51:05Until Mr. Akizuki
00:51:07swears he won't do anything reckless again.
00:51:11I managed to save Mr. Akizuki
00:51:13from the battlefield
00:51:15by pretending to be an injured soldier.
00:51:17I was able to stop him.
00:51:19But
00:51:21Mr. Akizuki
00:51:23committed suicide over and over again.
00:51:27I avoided dangerous things
00:51:29and didn't let anyone know
00:51:31other than Uba and Ito.
00:51:33I am
00:51:34protecting Mr. Akizuki
00:51:36like a cage.
00:51:38From death
00:51:39and from the government.
00:51:48Well, Mr. Akizuki.
00:51:50Good night.
00:52:10In other words,
00:52:11you want to find out the whereabouts
00:52:13of your son who went missing
00:52:15during the Hakodate War.
00:52:17That's right.
00:52:18Why do you want to do that?
00:52:20It's my belief.
00:52:22It's a belief
00:52:24that is similar to your grudge.
00:52:27I'm counting on you.
00:52:34Good morning, Mr. Akizuki.
00:52:36Good morning.
00:52:38Good morning.
00:52:41It's cold this morning.
00:52:43It might snow again.
00:52:45If it gets a little warmer,
00:52:48would you like to go to a hot spring?
00:52:50Somewhere near the sea.
00:52:52Kill me.
00:52:54If I can't do that,
00:52:56push me out to the new government.
00:52:58Even though my friends are suffering,
00:53:00I can't live
00:53:02on my own.
00:53:05Don't do that.
00:53:13No.
00:53:14I can't let you die.
00:53:16I'll never let you go.
00:53:19I got back the person
00:53:21I lost once.
00:53:35Why are you crying?
00:53:37Mr. Akizuki is the one
00:53:39who said he wanted to be with you.
00:53:50Stop it.
00:54:04Stop it.
00:54:20I can feel it.
00:54:22I can feel that you're alive.
00:54:25I can feel it.
00:54:34I'm sorry.
00:54:36I'm frustrated.
00:54:39Even so, I'm happy to be a farmer.
00:54:42I feel ashamed.
00:54:47I feel like I'm going to break.
00:54:53You're late.
00:54:54How long are you going to keep me waiting?
00:54:56I'm sorry.
00:54:58My husband is busy with his family business.
00:55:01He can't leave.
00:55:03I'm here on business.
00:55:05If you're at home, bring him here.
00:55:07If you're in a hurry after this,
00:55:10please withdraw.
00:55:14Hey!
00:55:22I didn't know there was a maid
00:55:24who asked me to go home.
00:55:28Hey, maid.
00:55:29Yes?
00:55:30Where is Kusaka?
00:55:34I'm sorry.
00:55:36I don't know him.
00:55:42The back yard.
00:55:47What a big yard.
00:55:49The mansion isn't that big.
00:56:04What are you doing?
00:56:12What are you doing?
00:56:29Are you a spy?
00:56:34Dad!
00:56:36Chikako!
00:56:38Dad...
00:56:46Chikako...
00:56:48Chikako!
00:57:04What?
00:57:12That's it.
00:57:18Koshisaku.
00:57:20He's crazy.
00:57:30Kusaka!
00:57:32And...
00:57:34That man...
00:57:37I think he's the one Kusaka was looking for
00:57:40during the Hakodate War.
00:57:42He's called Akizuki.
00:57:46Why is he here?
00:57:48Don't tell me...
00:58:02The next day
00:58:11I've brought you breakfast.
00:58:14If you don't eat,
00:58:16you'll get sick.
00:58:18Please, just a little.
00:58:26Kusaka...
00:58:28Did you go out today?
00:58:30Yes.
00:58:31I heard you had something else to do this morning.
00:59:02Hmph.
00:59:04So this is what you call showing your true colors.
00:59:07Akizuki Keiichiro.
00:59:09You're the last of the Three Kingdoms.
00:59:13And you call yourself an enemy?
00:59:15How pathetic.
00:59:21Hmph.
00:59:25There's a subordinate who doesn't know where he is
00:59:27after the Hakodate War.
00:59:30He's a soldier who went after Kusaka,
00:59:32who was trying to infiltrate alone.
00:59:34Unfortunately,
00:59:36he's my superior's son.
00:59:38I told him to investigate on his own.
00:59:41When I looked into it,
00:59:43there were a lot of suspicious points.
00:59:45On the same day he went missing,
00:59:48he was brought in by an injured soldier who was arrested.
00:59:52But on that day,
00:59:54there was no record of the enemy
00:59:56firing at him.
00:59:59On top of that,
01:00:02Kusaka forcefully wiped out the injured soldier.
01:00:06According to the doctor,
01:00:08the soldier
01:00:10had lost one of his legs.
01:00:15Tomorrow morning,
01:00:17the Rikugun will be investigating Kusaka's mansion
01:00:19in a secret area.
01:00:21They suspect he's hiding a spy.
01:00:24If that happens,
01:00:26they'll find out
01:00:28what happened to the missing person.
01:00:31If they don't want to
01:00:33kill Kusaka anymore...
01:00:36You understand, don't you?
01:00:38Especially
01:00:40if you still have the samurai spirit.
01:00:56KUSAKA'S MANSION
01:01:14Do you really have no idea?
01:01:16He's the soldier who went after you.
01:01:19Mr. Kusaka.
01:01:20I don't care!
01:01:22Are you telling me to find out everything
01:01:24on that vast battlefield?
01:01:28I don't care!
01:01:29I don't give a damn!
01:01:34How much did he lie to us?
01:01:37Sir,
01:01:38the Rikugun will be investigating Kusaka's mansion today.
01:01:40What?
01:01:41For what purpose?
01:01:43It might be better
01:01:45to hide Mr. Akizuki
01:01:47in a safer place.
01:01:49We should hurry.
01:01:52KUSAKA'S MANSION
01:02:17Mr. Akizuki,
01:02:18I brought you something to eat.
01:02:22Mr. Akizuki?
01:02:24Kusaka,
01:02:25you're late today.
01:02:28You must be tired from work every day.
01:02:31I'm sorry.
01:02:33Mr. Akizuki,
01:02:34what's wrong?
01:02:35Are you feeling well today?
01:02:38Yes.
01:02:39But it's very cold tonight.
01:02:42Can you warm me up?
01:02:48Mr. Akizuki!
01:02:50You finally
01:02:52smiled at me.
01:02:54Hey,
01:02:55you look like you're in pain.
01:02:56Oh,
01:02:57I'm sorry.
01:02:58I'm so happy.
01:03:20KUSAKA'S MANSION
01:03:28Kusaka.
01:03:29Yes?
01:03:31Light a fire
01:03:32deep inside your body.
01:03:35A fire
01:03:36that will never go out.
01:03:40I understand.
01:03:42I love you,
01:03:43Mr. Akizuki.
01:03:50It's like
01:03:51I'm back to that day.
01:04:02Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:03Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:06What?
01:04:21Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:23Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:24What is it, Ito?
01:04:25The Rikugun
01:04:26is taking over the mansion!
01:04:29Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:30What's going on here?
01:04:32Mr. Akizuki!
01:04:34What are you doing?
01:04:35Who gave you permission to do this?
01:04:38I'm just following orders.
01:04:41Orders?
01:04:44What do you mean?
01:04:46There was a secret agreement.
01:04:47A secret agreement?
01:04:48You're the one
01:04:49who's behind all this.
01:04:52What are you talking about?
01:04:54If you're going to keep
01:04:55doing this,
01:04:56I have an idea.
01:04:59You're going to silence the Rikugun
01:05:01with Gaim Taifu's power?
01:05:05You've always been
01:05:06good at doing things,
01:05:09but not this time.
01:05:12Hey, Kusaka.
01:05:14You and I
01:05:15were born in the same school,
01:05:17so we've lived
01:05:18in the same world,
01:05:20but we've lived
01:05:21in very different ways.
01:05:23The Golden Gate Rebellion,
01:05:25the First Day of Choshu Rebellion,
01:05:27the attack on the Shikoku Fleet.
01:05:29You don't know
01:05:30anything about those hells.
01:05:33Even so,
01:05:34as soon as the system was restored,
01:05:36I thought it was convenient to come back,
01:05:38but I was told
01:05:39that I was going back to the Western Kingdom,
01:05:41and in the end,
01:05:42I'm the one who's going back.
01:05:44But,
01:05:45what about what you're doing?
01:05:47You're hiding the truth
01:05:49and deceiving the Emperor.
01:05:51I won't forgive you
01:05:52for putting yourself
01:05:53in the shoes
01:05:54of the Meiji government.
01:05:59Major Aizawa.
01:06:01We haven't found
01:06:02anything suspicious.
01:06:04That's enough.
01:06:05You may leave.
01:06:06Yes, sir.
01:06:09Are you going to
01:06:10get away with this?
01:06:12But,
01:06:13what do you think
01:06:14of the verdict
01:06:15he gave himself?
01:06:17Akizuki-sama!
01:06:20Aizawa!
01:06:21What did you do?
01:06:23I was just
01:06:24telling him the obvious.
01:06:26You...
01:06:27Did you go inside?
01:06:29You...
01:06:31It's true
01:06:32that what I've done
01:06:33is far from being
01:06:34the work of the Ishin.
01:06:36But,
01:06:37I fought for my Ishin.
01:06:39And,
01:06:40it's not over yet.
01:06:41The Ishin
01:06:43fought to create
01:06:44a country
01:06:45that was convenient for them.
01:06:46The Bakushin
01:06:47fought to create
01:06:48a country
01:06:49where they could survive.
01:06:50And,
01:06:51I fought to protect
01:06:52that person
01:06:53and to create
01:06:54a world
01:06:55where I could walk
01:06:56with that person.
01:06:57And,
01:06:58I'm going to erase
01:06:59anyone who gets in my way.
01:07:00That's what it means
01:07:01to be righteous.
01:07:12Those are the eyes of a demon.
01:07:14The same eyes
01:07:16that fought
01:07:18in that hell.
01:07:20Did he
01:07:22see a different hell
01:07:23from ours?
01:07:39Akizuki-sama!
01:07:41Akizuki-san!
01:07:57Kusakae.
01:07:59I want you to forgive me
01:08:02for always blaming you.
01:08:05If you don't,
01:08:07I'll break down
01:08:08and kill you.
01:08:10I couldn't
01:08:11tell you
01:08:12how I really felt.
01:08:15When we first met,
01:08:17even when I was about to die,
01:08:20you didn't even
01:08:21touch your sword.
01:08:25I was always
01:08:26ashamed
01:08:27of myself
01:08:29for changing you.
01:08:35I should have done this
01:08:36a long time ago.
01:08:43Akizuki-san.
01:08:45I made you suffer
01:08:46for a long time.
01:08:51The reason why
01:08:52I couldn't choose death
01:08:54was my weakness.
01:08:57I knew I couldn't do it
01:08:58for you,
01:09:00but I still
01:09:01didn't have the courage
01:09:02to break free.
01:09:06Akizuki-san.
01:09:36Kusakae.
01:09:44I'm sorry.
01:09:55Akizuki-san!
01:10:01Akizuki-san!
01:10:07Akizuki-san!
01:10:14Akizuki-san!
01:10:15Akizuki-san!
01:10:16Akizuki-san!
01:10:19Akizuki-san!
01:10:22Akizuki-san!
01:10:23Wake up!
01:10:25Akizuki-san!
01:10:27Akizuki-san!
01:10:31Akizuki-san!
01:10:32Akizuki-san!
01:10:34Akizuki-san!
01:10:36Akizuki-san!
01:10:43Akizuki-san!
01:10:53Akizuki-san!
01:11:06Akizuki-san!
01:11:07Akizuki-san!
01:11:08Akizuki-san!
01:11:09Akizuki-san!
01:11:10Akizuki-san!
01:11:11Akizuki-san!
01:11:12Akizuki-san!
01:11:13Akizuki-san!
01:11:14Akizuki-san!
01:11:15Akizuki-san!
01:11:16Akizuki-san!
01:11:17Even if it's just a little,
01:11:19even if it's just a little longer,
01:11:22I want you to understand
01:11:23how much I wanted to be with you.
01:11:27But now,
01:11:29I don't regret
01:11:30the fact that
01:11:32the time I spent with you
01:11:33ended so quickly.
01:11:37Even in this winter,
01:11:39the time I spent with you
01:11:42is not a lie.
01:11:50This is...
01:11:54what Akizuki-san always thought.
01:12:00This...
01:12:03This is...
01:12:05It's a cicada's cry.
01:12:07Even though it's already autumn.
01:12:09Even if it returns,
01:12:11it will probably die soon.
01:12:22If we weren't in this era,
01:12:26we might have been able to be together longer.
01:12:31I'm sure that era will come.
01:12:34A day when we can meet
01:12:36without being trapped
01:12:38in status or class.
01:12:40Until then,
01:12:42I just need to keep sleeping like this cicada.
01:12:44Akizuki-san...
01:13:03If we weren't in this era...
01:13:11Akizuki-san...
01:13:14Akizuki-san...
01:13:33That's right.
01:13:36Until that era comes,
01:13:39I just need to keep sleeping
01:13:42like this cicada.
01:13:52I just need to keep sleeping.
01:14:08Akizuki-san...
01:14:38Akizuki-san...
01:15:08Akizuki-san...
01:15:38Akizuki-san...
