We now announce

our regulations.

Deviations from the path of

bushido are prohibited!

Leaving this force

is prohibited!

Unauthorized use of group

funds is prohibited!

Private settlement of disputes between

members are prohibited!

Acting from personal motives

is prohibited!

Those who would violate any

of these prohibitions...

...will be subject

to seppuku!

Seppuku for any of those?

That's pretty stiff.

Whoever it was that spoke,

step forward.

Seppuku is the highest honor that

can be granted to a samurai.

YOU, COME

FORWARD!

I apologize.

If I ever violate the prohibitions,

I shall gladly commit seppuku.

You would not be capable

of seppuku.

As we are merciful, we will let you

live, and return home. Go!

Yes sir.

Listen up!

The mission of the

Shinsengumi...

...is to stand against all anti-

Shogunate forces...

...without regard for

their home fief...

...and kill them all as soon

as they're found.

Miura! Miura!

"Mibu:
" town located in Shimotsuga District

Damn those Mibu

beasts!

Kanji... who

were they?

Who were the men who

killed my dear Miura?

Please tell me...

Please tell me!

Oko, that was Kondo Isami

of the Shinsengumi.

Kondo... Isami.

Please don't

take that!

Please, wait! That's

our family treasure!

I implore

you!

That's what you get for giving 10,000-ryo

to the lmperialists...

...and not a penny to

the Shinsengumi.

Dear!

It's the Mibu ronin!

The Mibu wolves!

Run!

Move!

Come on, slowpoke!

Where're do you think

you're going?

Huh? Where?

Where I wonder?

Where do you think

you're going?!

Catch up with

me later.

"Shimabara:
" the Kyoto red-light district.

Off to Shimabara today?

And then Yama-no-o

in Gion.

Let's go.

Don't just stand there looking like

morons! Continue your training!

Go!

Yes sir. One, two... One, two... One, two...

Yes sir. One, two... One, two... One, two...

Sheesh... Off to the teahouses this early?

Let's do it!

Hey, hey hey! Not today, not

today! Go do it outside.

Move it!

You're always

like this...

If you get too

fresh...

...l'll have to tell

my husband.

What do you

mean?

Is that a threat, or an excuse

to escape me?

I'm the virtuous wife of a clothing merchant,

I merely came to collect on your bill.

But who was it that took advantage

of me, the first time we met?

I'm not your toy,

you know.

Don't be

so cold.

You women are

all the same.

You know that I'm not

going to pay up.

And yet you come here

every three days.

If I get caught

doing this...

...l'll never be able to

go back to the store.

If you can't go back, then you'll

just have stay to here.

I'm a delicate flower...

Be more gentle.

Whatever...

We have completed

today's patrol.

Well done.

Damn, it's hot!

Oh... leaving already?

I'm sorry things

took so long.

Have you completed your business

with our Commander?

As it happens,

not quite yet.

Mr. Kawai, help

me out here.

Mr. Serizawa and the others need to settle the

bill for the summer robes we made for them.

I can't just keep leaving

here empty handed.

Ei!

Please leave.

Well, please expedite the payment if you

can. And thank you for your business.

Bye...

You shouldn't be

talking with her!

Can a commander do anything he wants?

Can a commander do anything he wants?

Mugging merchants, murdering on a whim...

They're no better than burglars!

They're no better than burglars!

At this rate, they'll soon ruin the Shinsengumi.

His unrestrained boozing

is inexcusable.

I'm going to kill them!

I'm going to kill them!

Wait!

Leave this

to me.

I will have a talk

with Serizawa.

Hijikata...

I want you to talk to

Niimi about this.

Can you stop the

drinking?

Please, you must stop drinking!

Please, you must stop drinking!

If I were able to stop, I wouldn't be so wretched.

If I were able to stop, I wouldn't be so wretched.

But...

If I were able to stop, I wouldn't be so wretched.

But...

But...

I hate booze.

And yet, I can't

live without it.

A guy like you probably

wouldn't understand.

I'm better

off dead.

Such weakness is unbecoming

in a man of your stature.

Renounce drinking! A

man like you can do it!

I'm not worthy to be

a commander.

You don't have the luxury

of indulging in self-pity.

Lately, the Aizu clan has taken

notice of your carousing.

They are saying that the Shinsengumi

are a gang of ronin riff-raff.

They're trying to have us disbanded before we

bring any more shame on the Shogunate.

Are you aware of this?

Sorry.

We worked hard to build the Shinsegumi

from the original thirteen.

It would be a shame for it to come

to naught, wouldn't it?

Please be an example of our emblem,

of our code of makoto.

I will join you in a pledge

to renounce alcohol!

Serizawa! Please come

to your senses.

Kon...

Why do you care so

much about me?

You're a fine samurai when

you're not drinking!

Kon...

Commander...!

We have news from Yama-no-o in

Gion that Commander Niimi...

...in obedience to the regulations

governing our forces...

...admitted committing numerous

lawless acts...

...and then manfully atoned

by committing seppuku!

What?!

Niimi...

...cut his belly?

Damn!

Stop!

Stop!

Commander!

Commander!

Commander! The troops have been called out!

Commander!

Commander! The troops have been called out!

Commander! The troops have been called out!

We've been ordered to guard the Shogun!

Summer:
The Incident at the Royal Gate

Halt!

What are you people?!

We are the Shinsengumi

of Mibu.

Oh. The Mibu scum!

We have the important task of expelling the

Choshu clan from the lmperial court.

We need no help from a motley gang

of ronin. So get lost. Begone!

What?! Shut up!

What?! Shut up!

Please wait.

If you are of the Aizu clan,

then you should know...

...that your own clan council granted

us permission to operate.

Councilor Tashiragi ordered

us to come and help.

How dare you call

us Mibu scum?!

Because of you do-nothing idiots...

...the Choshu bastards have misled

the Emperor into supporting them.

And they're using

the Emperor...

...to overthrow the

Shogunate!

Apologize!

Apologize!

Serizawa!

Serizawa!

Shut up!

Serizawa!

If you're determined

to not let us pass...

...then we'll use our swords

to cut a path through you.

Move!

Out of our way!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Huh?! The Councilor!

At the palace by day, and the

south entrance by night...

...the hard work you do

is much appreciated.

Thanks to you, the Choshu samurai

have fled from Kyoto.

You've restored the peace.

You've restored the peace.

Enough, already...
