WEBVTT 00:01.440 --> 00:04.650 KEIO YEAR 3 (1867) 02:30.980 --> 02:32.560 Well, what's your next move? 02:57.440 --> 02:58.770 Just a tad too slow. 02:58.770 --> 03:00.810 I-I... surrender. 03:02.770 --> 03:06.850 Candor is among your best qualities, but it can also be a pitfall. 03:08.150 --> 03:09.400 How humiliating. 03:09.560 --> 03:11.850 You're as tough as ever, Jin-dono. 03:12.350 --> 03:15.770 I have nothing but respect for your refined swordsmanship. 03:17.060 --> 03:21.980 I'm ashamed to say I haven't had much chance to wield my blade on a actual battlefield. 03:22.400 --> 03:25.690 Great work, honey. You and Jinya-sama both fought hard. 03:29.190 --> 03:31.060 Kinu. Sorry to trouble you. 03:36.520 --> 03:37.850 Be careful now. 03:40.520 --> 03:41.350 Thank you. 03:47.060 --> 03:49.100 Much obliged, Kinu-dono. 03:49.100 --> 03:52.600 Think nothing of it. This is the least I can do for you indulging my husband. 03:52.810 --> 03:55.940 I don't mind. It proved beneficial for me as well. 03:56.310 --> 03:58.850 Well, I'm most glad to hear that. 03:59.350 --> 04:00.520 By the way... 04:00.900 --> 04:01.560 Yes? 04:01.980 --> 04:06.520 Is it okay if I just drop all the genteel speak now, ronin? 04:09.440 --> 04:11.520 I would prefer that, honestly. 04:11.810 --> 04:13.850 It's fine to call me "Harlot," you know. 04:14.270 --> 04:16.600 I can't refer to a married woman like a tramp. 04:16.980 --> 04:18.440 Such a stiff. 04:18.440 --> 04:23.190 That's funny, considering you didn't seem to notice we got married until we told you about it. 04:23.190 --> 04:24.690 When will you let me live that down? 04:24.690 --> 04:26.520 Jinya-sama! Nomari-san! 04:26.520 --> 04:29.020 Oh, Tadanobu! Welcome home. 04:29.150 --> 04:30.350 Here to spar? 04:30.350 --> 04:32.980 Yes. We just finished a bout. 04:33.190 --> 04:35.350 Aww, I wish I could've seen it. 04:37.600 --> 04:40.350 Greetings, Nomari-san. Serendipity is a beautiful thing. 04:40.690 --> 04:43.190 Huh? Serendippy is bootyful? 04:46.480 --> 04:49.060 Tadanobu seems to have taken quite a liking to Nomari. 04:49.940 --> 04:51.150 What do you think, Jin-dono? 04:51.850 --> 04:54.730 Would you ever let your daughter marry into a samurai family? 04:56.480 --> 04:58.060 You can't have her. 04:58.480 --> 05:00.310 First, you wrap a string around this part here. 04:58.480 --> 04:59.900 Or so I'd like to say. 04:59.900 --> 05:02.850 But I suppose that might give me more peace of mind 05:00.310 --> 05:00.940 Uh-huh. 05:00.940 --> 05:02.850 Then you pull it to make it spin. 05:02.850 --> 05:04.690 than her marrying a total stranger. 05:03.310 --> 05:04.690 Do you want to try it with me? 05:05.020 --> 05:05.690 Yeah! 05:05.980 --> 05:07.440 All right. Here we go! 05:06.350 --> 05:08.350 But it all depends on Nomari. 05:09.190 --> 05:12.480 I want her to decide when she gets older. 05:13.400 --> 05:14.480 What's so funny? 05:14.480 --> 05:18.730 Nothing. It just feels strange that we're both fussing over our kids. 05:19.230 --> 05:21.940 Makes me realize how old we've gotten. 05:22.310 --> 05:24.940 This would've been unthinkable back in the early days, huh? 05:26.770 --> 05:27.980 I must say, Jin-dono... 05:29.020 --> 05:30.190 ...you haven't changed. 05:34.190 --> 05:37.150 Oh! My apologies. Forget I said anything. 05:37.190 --> 05:39.650 Well, it's about time that we get going. 05:40.190 --> 05:41.480 Nomari! Get ready to go. 05:42.190 --> 05:43.190 Please wait! 05:43.520 --> 05:45.190 I didn't mean to offend you! 05:45.190 --> 05:46.560 You haven't. 05:46.900 --> 05:49.020 I just want to swing by the soba shop. 05:50.100 --> 05:51.190 I see. 05:55.650 --> 05:57.650 Oh? Heading home already? 05:58.400 --> 05:59.020 Yeah. 05:59.020 --> 06:02.810 Your face looks glum. Was it something my husband said? 06:03.730 --> 06:04.600 Not really. 06:04.850 --> 06:05.730 All right, then. 06:06.230 --> 06:08.600 Drop by again sometime, okay? 06:09.270 --> 06:10.350 What's wrong? 06:11.600 --> 06:12.400 I'm surprised. 06:12.980 --> 06:15.400 I didn't think that I'd be welcome here. 06:15.940 --> 06:17.980 Don't be ridiculous. 06:17.980 --> 06:21.270 Although I'm sure you must feel rather uncomfortable around me. 06:21.900 --> 06:24.190 You're always so easy to read! 06:26.690 --> 06:28.310 Here's a piece of advice. 06:28.480 --> 06:31.060 Try not to be so hard on yourself. 06:31.730 --> 06:35.350 Life is a gift, but it's always a mix of good and bad. 06:35.350 --> 06:37.480 Change also comes in the same flavors. 06:38.440 --> 06:43.190 I don't know what kind of albatross is around your neck, but you wouldn't be the same without it, right? 06:43.850 --> 06:46.850 I actually prefer you more than most, ronin. 06:47.810 --> 06:49.480 And I'm sure he feels the same. 06:51.400 --> 06:54.230 Never imagined I'd be getting a peptalk from you. 06:54.850 --> 06:56.520 Jeez, cold much? 06:56.940 --> 06:59.810 But hey, that's just true to form for us. 07:09.190 --> 07:12.100 Oh, Jinya-kun. And Nomari-chan. 07:12.690 --> 07:13.600 Where's your dad? 07:15.310 --> 07:16.690 Resting in the back. 07:18.100 --> 07:20.770 I see. He does that a lot these days. 07:22.600 --> 07:24.770 It's all my fault. 07:28.520 --> 07:30.230 No words of comfort, huh? 07:30.810 --> 07:32.350 Would you prefer I say something? 07:32.810 --> 07:33.600 No. 07:34.100 --> 07:37.850 Because even if you did, I wouldn't be able to take it to heart. 07:43.310 --> 07:46.400 We never saw Grampy! He slept all day, huh? 07:48.770 --> 07:49.770 Yeah... 07:54.400 --> 07:55.650 Welcome in, pal! 07:56.560 --> 07:58.520 Ah! It's Grampy! 07:58.810 --> 08:00.600 Hi there, sweet pea. 08:01.230 --> 08:03.100 Are you doing all right? 08:03.100 --> 08:06.150 Y'know, I'm actually full of beans today! 08:06.150 --> 08:08.810 So I figured I'd whip up some soba for once. 08:08.810 --> 08:12.100 Dad. Just promise me you won't push yourself. 08:13.270 --> 08:14.480 Here. Order up. 08:14.650 --> 08:15.480 Thank you. 08:15.650 --> 08:16.980 C'mon, you too, Ofuu! 08:17.480 --> 08:19.520 Huh? But... 08:19.520 --> 08:21.310 Aw, don't fuss. Gotta treat yourself sometimes. 08:21.810 --> 08:24.730 He's right. This is a rare opportunity. 08:28.440 --> 08:32.190 Thinking about it, we go back a long time, eh, pal? 08:32.650 --> 08:34.560 More than a decade now. 08:35.730 --> 08:39.600 You were sitting here eating kake-soba back when we first met, too. 08:40.060 --> 08:42.650 Looking exactly the same as you do now. 08:43.270 --> 08:45.400 Though, you didn't have a daughter then. 08:56.600 --> 09:01.650 Boy! Living to old age was worth it just to see that dopey grin on your face, pal! 09:02.100 --> 09:05.900 Give me a break. I already know how silly I must look. 09:05.900 --> 09:07.980 Heavens no! It's a perfect fit for ya! 09:08.900 --> 09:11.730 Ya look far better as a dad than a demon hunter. 09:13.520 --> 09:19.440 Think about her future. It's about time ya stopped risking your skin out there hunting demons, no? 09:19.940 --> 09:23.940 If it's money you're worried about, then just work here instead. 09:24.810 --> 09:30.350 Imagine it. You can get hitched with my Ofuu and take over the soba shop! 09:31.650 --> 09:34.150 Sorry. I don't think that's possible. 09:34.690 --> 09:37.190 "Demons cannot defy their nature as demons." 09:38.480 --> 09:40.350 One of them told me as much. 09:40.810 --> 09:45.020 Demons live under the spell of their emotions and perish in the name of their purpose. 09:45.560 --> 09:47.100 I've always believed that. 09:47.560 --> 09:54.060 No matter how much time passes, I will remain unchanged and driven by the feelings in my heart 09:54.730 --> 09:57.400 until I eventually breath my last. 09:57.400 --> 10:00.150 Well, you've definitely changed in the time I've known ya. 10:00.600 --> 10:01.770 Only a little. 10:02.350 --> 10:05.520 But not in essence. I simply learned how to take a detour. 10:06.020 --> 10:10.060 When the time ultimately comes, I'll still cast everything aside. 10:11.020 --> 10:13.350 And that keeps you from living a normal life? 10:14.020 --> 10:16.060 Come on. You're really gonna accept that? 10:16.270 --> 10:19.980 It's never bothered me. Because I had a goal to fulfill. 10:21.190 --> 10:26.730 But for reasons I'm unsure of... right now, that way of life feels a little encumbering. 10:29.980 --> 10:31.810 Then why not just forsake all of it? 10:32.150 --> 10:34.650 If I could do that, I'd never have turned demon. 10:36.770 --> 10:40.690 Well, it's a good thing. At least if you ask me. 10:41.350 --> 10:44.520 The fact you feel encumbered by that way of life just goes to show how much 10:44.520 --> 10:47.560 you're enjoying what you have now. 10:48.190 --> 10:50.650 So the idea of casting it aside makes you lonely. 10:51.150 --> 10:53.150 This shop, and all of us in it, 10:53.480 --> 10:58.480 have become equally as precious to you as the purpose you're so bent on fulfilling, get it? 10:59.100 --> 11:01.100 Ain't nothing more joyous than that! 11:01.940 --> 11:05.020 I see. It was loneliness I felt, huh? 11:06.650 --> 11:09.810 I'm as spineless as ever, I suppose. 11:11.060 --> 11:11.850 Ofuu. 11:12.270 --> 11:13.770 Will you two hear me out? 11:17.690 --> 11:23.600 You're both gonna live a heck of a lot longer and lose far more than I ever will. 11:24.270 --> 11:26.650 Naturally, the things you lose will never come back. 11:27.270 --> 11:28.980 Though, it's kinda strange... 11:29.520 --> 11:33.060 because those things always seem more beautiful in our mind's eye. 11:33.600 --> 11:36.690 But listen, there ain't nothing wrong with that. 11:37.100 --> 11:39.850 When the old times pop into your head and make you wanna cry, 11:40.060 --> 11:41.440 be proud of it! 11:41.900 --> 11:48.060 Because it's proof that you've built something for yourself that's worth getting sad over. 11:48.940 --> 11:49.900 But do me a favor. 11:50.520 --> 11:55.190 Please don't let the fear of saying goodbye make you neglect the present. 11:56.100 --> 11:59.440 There'll always be times when remembering the past makes you want to hate everything. 11:59.980 --> 12:05.350 But you two are special, you can go beyond that to find happiness with other people. 12:05.810 --> 12:10.480 Your long lifespans are precisely what make living in the present such an important experience. 12:11.600 --> 12:14.650 That's what I believe is best for you. 12:16.730 --> 12:21.150 Whew! Now did that make me sound like a proper dad or what? 12:21.400 --> 12:24.520 It's not even a question. You're Ofuu's father, aren't you? 12:24.940 --> 12:27.900 You just got a different start from most people. 12:27.940 --> 12:31.520 Yes. I've never been more proud to have you as my dad. 12:31.850 --> 12:34.190 Hey. I got a little request of you three. 12:34.480 --> 12:36.350 Couldja all stand up over there? 12:36.650 --> 12:37.600 What for? 12:37.600 --> 12:38.940 C'mon. Please? 12:40.060 --> 12:42.900 Go stand next to him Ofuu. There ya go. 12:43.150 --> 12:44.600 That's perfect. 12:45.190 --> 12:49.850 And now, sweet pea. Couldja grab hold of both their hands? 13:10.150 --> 13:15.230 Wow. Now that's truly a sight to behold. 13:17.770 --> 13:21.690 Whew! I pooped myself out doing all this work today! 13:22.100 --> 13:24.400 Ofuu. Clean up the shop for me, would ya? 13:25.060 --> 13:27.400 Well, see y'all tomorrow. 13:32.350 --> 13:34.270 After retiring to his bedroom, 13:34.690 --> 13:37.520 Sadanaga Hyoma Miura went to sleep... 13:38.100 --> 13:39.270 and never woke up again. 14:06.270 --> 14:08.060 It's never felt so spacious before. 14:08.900 --> 14:12.440 I knew this would happen. Our lifespans are different. 14:12.810 --> 14:14.650 We couldn't be together forever. 14:15.440 --> 14:19.900 That's why I tried to push Hyoma away... 14:20.310 --> 14:22.600 to drive him out of my garden of happiness. 14:23.520 --> 14:27.190 But his kindness got the better of me, 14:27.690 --> 14:30.230 now I'm devastated over what I knew was coming. 14:30.940 --> 14:32.060 It's pathetic, isn't it? 14:32.520 --> 14:34.400 I haven't changed in the slightest. 14:36.770 --> 14:37.900 Jinya-kun... 14:39.350 --> 14:42.100 Please let me stay like this for a little while. 14:43.730 --> 14:46.980 I can never remember a time when your dad wasn't worried about you. 14:47.810 --> 14:51.190 I swear, despite how much he joked about me doting on Nomari, 14:51.770 --> 14:54.060 that man was the undisputed king of doting fathers. 14:54.940 --> 14:55.520 Yes. 14:56.600 --> 15:00.230 He honestly never thought about anything but me. 15:00.940 --> 15:06.310 This is just the beginning, isn't it? We're going to suffer losses like this over and over. 15:10.150 --> 15:12.400 Such a long road ahead... 15:13.770 --> 15:16.350 Yes. Very long. 15:26.440 --> 15:27.440 I'm sorry. 15:27.440 --> 15:28.060 It's okay. 15:30.650 --> 15:32.270 Thank you so much. 15:32.270 --> 15:33.690 But I didn't do anything. 15:34.350 --> 15:38.270 You stayed with me, didn't you? That was a huge comfort. 15:39.730 --> 15:40.230 Pardon. 15:40.230 --> 15:42.100 Daddy! We're back! 15:42.100 --> 15:43.650 Sorry to make you watch her. 15:43.810 --> 15:44.850 I don't mind. 15:45.770 --> 15:47.440 Did you have a good time, Nomari? 15:48.190 --> 15:48.810 Uh-huh! 15:50.020 --> 15:52.690 Jin-dono. I need to speak with you. 15:54.560 --> 15:56.400 All right. Let's go someplace else. 15:56.560 --> 16:00.020 No. Here is fine, since I'd like Ofuu-san to hear this, too. 16:00.230 --> 16:01.650 Me, really? 16:01.770 --> 16:05.560 Yes. This shop always held a special place in my heart, after all. 16:09.190 --> 16:10.560 I'm going to Kyoto. 16:11.600 --> 16:14.770 I'm leaving Edo behind and dedicating myself to overthrowing the shogunate. 16:15.270 --> 16:16.150 Are you sure? 16:16.980 --> 16:18.980 The government has already collapsed. 16:19.350 --> 16:24.060 Despite all the citizens who are in need of help, our leaders still do nothing but bow to foreign powers. 16:24.940 --> 16:28.480 As a samurai, I swore my loyalty to Tokugawa, 16:28.940 --> 16:32.350 but the bushido code compels me to protect the powerless. 16:33.060 --> 16:38.520 I cannot just sit here and pretend everything is okay, while people continue to suffer day in and day out. 16:40.150 --> 16:41.270 I'm going to fight. 16:41.730 --> 16:44.690 And hopefully, usher this country into a new era. 16:45.190 --> 16:46.650 So we can see a brighter future. 16:46.980 --> 16:49.480 Even if it comes at the cost of your life? 16:50.230 --> 16:54.020 I'll embrace death with open arms if that's what it takes to forge a path to the future. 16:54.810 --> 16:56.730 But what about Kinu-san? 16:57.310 --> 16:58.650 We've already talked it over. 16:59.350 --> 17:00.730 She's going to Kyoto with me. 17:01.690 --> 17:03.150 She has samurai blood in her. 17:04.560 --> 17:05.940 And is headstrong to boot. 17:07.400 --> 17:08.850 I see... 17:08.850 --> 17:09.940 Then you should go. 17:10.560 --> 17:12.850 Follow the path in life that you've settled on. 17:13.230 --> 17:17.600 Right. Frankly, I'm not sure how useful I can actually be on the battlefield. 17:18.100 --> 17:20.060 But even so, I am a samurai. 17:20.230 --> 17:24.650 I owe it to my ancestors to act in defense of the people until the bitter end. 17:30.310 --> 17:32.600 Good grief. You can be a real pain in the neck. 17:32.810 --> 17:34.900 You're the last person I want to hear that from, Jin-dono. 17:38.400 --> 17:41.190 Cheers to your new journey. Drinks are on me. 17:43.940 --> 17:46.350 When will you be leaving? 17:46.350 --> 17:49.770 Tomorrow. I figured the earlier the better. 17:50.230 --> 17:53.850 Then you better drink light, so you don't get a hangover. 17:54.400 --> 17:58.020 Actually, I was going to pass on any drinks, seeing as it's the middle of the day... 17:59.190 --> 18:03.270 You have Nomari-chan to look after, Jinya-kun. Don't drink too much yourself. 18:03.270 --> 18:04.100 Fair enough. 18:04.650 --> 18:09.480 I'm dead set on going to Kyoto, but I must admit that I'll regret never getting to see this scenery again. 18:09.600 --> 18:12.190 Oh, please. Don't put it like that! 18:12.190 --> 18:15.230 What she said. You're not going to the grave just yet. 18:15.230 --> 18:17.520 Oh? Going to Kyoto, are we? 18:18.190 --> 18:19.850 That's quite interesting. 18:20.440 --> 18:23.150 Seems you're all over the place, as usual. 18:23.520 --> 18:26.440 Finally gotten fed up with me, have you? 18:26.690 --> 18:28.940 I'm actually here for the samurai. 18:28.940 --> 18:30.440 You mean me? 18:30.850 --> 18:36.060 My master has connections within the shogunate. They've been sharing some concerning rumors. 18:36.770 --> 18:39.810 Mostly regarding a certain samurai stealing official documents. 18:39.810 --> 18:41.730 The thief could only be an administrative clerk. 18:41.730 --> 18:45.480 And my master believes that any signs of treachery must not be overlooked. 18:45.480 --> 18:46.730 I've done no such thing! 18:46.730 --> 18:50.730 Let's just cut to the chase. Your master has ordered you to kill Naotsugu, yes? 18:52.400 --> 18:57.400 My duty is simple. To eliminate anything and anyone who stands in my master's way! 19:08.810 --> 19:11.600 Thus, you will die here. 19:14.350 --> 19:15.770 My God! Look! 19:17.150 --> 19:18.730 It's some kind of monster! 19:31.650 --> 19:33.270 Your attacks are sharp and swift. 19:33.690 --> 19:36.190 It makes sense you're able to fell demons with just one blade. 19:36.520 --> 19:37.600 Take Nomari and go. 19:37.600 --> 19:38.310 Okay! 19:38.650 --> 19:40.520 Naotsugu. You should get out of here, too. 19:40.520 --> 19:43.520 But, Jin-dono! I'm the one it wants! 19:44.440 --> 19:45.690 I hunt demons. 19:45.980 --> 19:47.900 That's my calling in life. 19:52.310 --> 19:54.100 And so, it comes down to us. 19:54.350 --> 19:56.600 I imagine you won't back down no matter what I say. 19:56.810 --> 19:57.650 Obviously. 20:17.810 --> 20:18.730 That won't work! 20:24.560 --> 20:30.150 Unfortunately for you, there is no blade sharp enough to cut through me. 20:30.650 --> 20:32.900 For my body is indomitable. 20:38.440 --> 20:39.400 Oh? 20:42.100 --> 20:43.980 This man is my friend. 20:44.480 --> 20:45.690 I won't let you kill him! 20:46.100 --> 20:49.900 Hilarious. You think you stand any chance against me? 20:49.900 --> 20:52.770 There comes a time when every samurai must stand their ground! 20:57.100 --> 20:59.020 Very well, Naotsugu Miura. 20:59.270 --> 21:02.480 As per my master's orders, you shall meet your end here! 21:02.810 --> 21:05.100 Naotsugu! Stop! 21:05.560 --> 21:06.310 You can't win... 21:06.310 --> 21:08.810 You heard me! I'm not leaving! 21:14.900 --> 21:16.020 You're dead. 21:18.940 --> 21:21.270 Not again. Can't I protect anything?! 21:40.520 --> 21:41.600 Brawn. 21:58.310 --> 21:59.270 Steadfast! 21:59.940 --> 22:02.810 My demonic power is this indomitable body! 22:02.940 --> 22:04.440 Naotsugu! Run away! 22:05.770 --> 22:06.810 Naotsugu! 22:09.980 --> 22:11.600 Jin-dono... 22:16.560 --> 22:17.940 Just get out of here already! 22:17.940 --> 22:18.850 I'm sorry! 22:27.440 --> 22:28.650 What are you doing?! 22:29.560 --> 22:31.900 My target is Naotsugu Miura. 22:32.270 --> 22:34.900 There's no point in fighting now that he's gone. 22:35.940 --> 22:37.730 Remember what I told you before? 22:38.480 --> 22:40.810 Demons are incompatible with humans. 22:41.310 --> 22:43.850 Well? Those words ring quite true now, don't they? 22:54.650 --> 22:56.230 L-look at that freak! 22:56.520 --> 22:58.100 Hey, I know him! 23:01.980 --> 23:03.230 Daddy... 23:20.690 --> 23:21.690 Daddy?!
