00:15I don't know why, but I feel relieved to be coming back.
00:21It's been ten years since the revolution, and I've wandered all over Japan.
00:26This is the one place I thought I would never set foot in again.
00:30Kyoto, a city in the central valley of the Kinki region, a center of arts and crafts as well as the center of Japanese Buddhism.
00:40After the relocation of the capital to the city in the year 794, it remained the capital for roughly a thousand years, giving it the nickname the Millennium Imperial Castle.
00:50Here, the colors of the seasons are vibrant, making it the Japanese city most fitting to be called elegant.
00:57Come on, Himura! This way!
01:00But behind the scenes, there lies what has been described as a city of demons.
01:06Famines and plagues have often run rampant through its streets, and the city has been fought over in many wars.
01:14During the chaos of the Bakumatsu era, not a day went by without the shedding of blood or the rolling of heads.
01:21The city was a battlefield drenched in blood, like a scene from hell.
01:25Aincred in blood!
01:26Aincred in blood!
01:28Hey, Himura!
01:29Aincred in blood!
01:30Why are you acting so out of it?
01:32You've been weird since we came here.
01:35And, uh...
01:36Could you do something about that sword?
01:37It really sticks out here.
01:39You're embarrassing me!
01:41Well, um, if anything, I'd worry more about your outfit, Miss Misal.
01:44What'd you say?!
01:46Monster bird kick off rage!
01:48Oh
02:18Oh
02:48Oh
03:18In any case, Miss Misao, I would think you'd want to see your home again. Where is it?
03:30We're there! That's my home! Right there!
03:34Aura?
03:36A restaurant?
03:38Yep! Aoiya is a pretty famous spot in Kyoto.
03:46Grandpa!
03:48Hmm?
03:50Ah! It's Misao!
03:53It's me, all right?
03:54Welcome home, dear. Welcome home. This time you were away much longer than expected. I was beginning to worry.
04:00I know, I know. Sorry. But so much happened.
04:06That's what you get for staying away so long!
04:09He's mad. He's mad.
04:11Oh, am I right to assume you escorted Misao home?
04:15Well, uh, yes.
04:16Be honest. Traveling with this one was quite an ordeal, wasn't it?
04:20It was quite the trip. That it was.
04:24Misao!
04:25Young miss! It's good to have you home!
04:27She seems taller, doesn't she?
04:32Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! What's wrong with you?
04:35Well then, I'll be on my way.
04:38Just a moment. We haven't had a chance to properly thank you, Mr. Himura Batosai.
04:43Hmm? You can hide that cross-shaped scar on your cheek, but those who know you know.
04:52Sir.
04:52Why don't we discuss it inside?
04:56Come on in, won't you?
05:00Look! What a chubby chow-chow!
05:06Whoa! Too much chow for that chow-chow.
05:08A chow's got a chow-chow!
05:10Oh no! It's not a chubby chow-chow, it's a furry chow-chow!
05:13What are they saying? Is that even a language?
05:17Man, people sure are different here in the Millennium Imperial Castle.
05:21Stop goofing off and help me out here!
05:23First thing we have to do is find Miss Tai's family home.
05:28Lodgings won't be cheap in Kyoto.
05:30I'll write my parents and let them know you're coming.
05:32You can stay at our place.
05:35Even if we find that, how am I ever going to find one lone person in this big city?
05:40Get a grip, Kaoru!
05:42Start with that crappy attitude and we're never gonna get anywhere!
05:46Look, I'll go find Tai's family home. You just stay here and watch the foot traffic.
05:49If you're lucky, you might spot Kenshin passing by!
05:59I guess that would have been too much to hope for.
06:06Oh man, I wonder what that guy's doing here.
06:13Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and take a bath now.
06:17You do that.
06:19Now then, I assume that at some point, Misao described herself to you as a member of the Oniwaban group.
06:30Does that mean...
06:32You're right to be suspicious.
06:34I, Nenji Kashiwazaki, used to be an Oniwaban spy.
06:39I was the Kyoto scout with the street name...
06:42Okina.
06:42In the sixth year of Ka'e, when Commodore Perry's expedition arrived at Uraga, threatening the sovereignty of this nation.
06:54The Oniwaban group's leaders sensed that the wielders of that sovereignty, the emperor and the nobles, would try to seize control of the country from the shogunate.
07:04He predicted that Kyoto would be a focus point of the coming troubles, and so he sent me here to establish an intelligence network unique to the Oniwaban group.
07:14We opened this restaurant, Auea, to serve as its headquarters, but ironically, shortly after we had opened, the Edo shogunate closed down.
07:24Ever since, it has served as a refuge for the many comrades who lost their positions in the aftermath of the revolution.
07:32I see. That explains why Aoshi entrusted Ms. Misao to your care.
07:37So you know of Lord Aoshi?
07:40I think I should tell you what I know, that I should.
07:47Yes, now I understand.
07:50Hanya and the others are dead, and Lord Aoshi has gone missing.
07:55For right now, at least, I'd like to keep it a secret from Ms. Misao that I would.
07:59Hmm. Yes, I think that would be better.
08:03Tell me, Bato...
08:04I mean, Mr. Himura.
08:06In all this time, you've never once shown yourself in Kyoto, but here you are.
08:12Might it have something to do with...
08:14your successor, Makoto Shishio?
08:19I know a few things, too, remember.
08:21The intelligence network I set up back then is still in place.
08:26I know every corner of this city, and very little happens here that I'm not aware of.
08:30To be honest, when I heard that he was still alive and using Kyoto as his base for some kind of sinister scheme, I could not bring myself to believe it.
08:39But now that you've shown up, well, that changes everything.
08:45So how about this?
08:47As thanks for your escorting Misao safely back here, and because it's in the interests of the Oniwaban group...
08:52I'm willing to side with you in accomplishing whatever it is you want to!
08:57You know!
08:58Fora?
08:59Words can't describe how much I love this city!
09:02And it will be an honor to sally forth in its defense one more time!
09:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
09:09Uh, you shouldn't get involved.
09:11My boy, if you're worried about the others, don't be.
09:14Shiro, Kuro, Ochika, Omasu, they're all former Oniwaban group spies, capable of defending themselves, and Misau as well.
09:23But still...
09:24That's another word! It's useless to refuse.
09:26Useless! After all, I was the one who raised Misau, wasn't I? I was!
09:34I don't understand it, but you're very persuasive that you are.
09:38Yes, I thought so, too!
09:40All right, I will take you up on your offer, but I have a request.
09:46Name it, anything.
09:48I'd like the use of your intelligence network to help me find some people I'm looking for.
09:54Find some people?
09:56Yes.
09:59Shaku Arai and Seijuro Hiko. I need to find those two as soon as I can.
10:10Rise and shine, Himura! It's morning already!
10:15Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were up.
10:19Ora, where did you get that outfit, Miss Misau?
10:23This is what I wear in Kyoto.
10:25I mean, after all, even I know enough not to walk around my hometown in a ninja outfit.
10:29Seeing as how you're dressed and ready, shall we be on our way?
10:33Ora?
10:34Ten years is a long time.
10:36You'll find Kyoto's changed quite a bit.
10:39There's so much to show you, it could take all day.
10:43For lunch, we'll have some Kyoto-style beef hotpot at Shirobeko.
10:47Oh, great! I've always wanted to eat at that place!
10:50Just a moment.
10:51I'm not sure it's wise for me to walk around in broad daylight.
10:54That I'm not.
10:55I wouldn't want one of Shishio's followers to spot me.
10:58Oh, there's no use running and hiding from a man like Shishio.
11:02He'll find you soon enough.
11:04Perhaps, but...
11:05Himura?
11:06You're fighting Shishio for the sake of this country and its people, right?
11:11Right.
11:11Well, then you should walk with your head held high.
11:15Because walking the walk is the way of the righteous.
11:18I know he may not seem like it now, but Gramps had mad skills back in the day.
11:28He was so good that he was the most likely choice to be the next leader of the Oniwaban group.
11:36But he said,
11:41No, it's now an error for the young ones to take charge.
11:44So, he nominated Lord Aoshi to be leader, and he scaled back his own role to being a scout in Kyoto.
11:51These days, he just comes off as a funny old man.
11:55By the way, I've already begun looking for those people you wanted to find.
11:59I sent agents out yesterday.
12:01What people?
12:03Who are you looking for?
12:04Okina.
12:05Hmm?
12:06Look at this.
12:07Sorry, Misao.
12:15We'll have to save Shirobeko for another day.
12:17Huh?
12:18Himura.
12:19We've just discovered the whereabouts of one of the men you're looking for.
12:22Or to be more precise,
12:25the whereabouts of his body since the man is dead.
12:29Shaku Arai,
12:30the swordsmith who created the Sakabato,
12:34passed away eight years ago.
12:36A swordsmith, huh?
12:38I see.
12:39You want a replacement for your broken Sakabato.
12:42Oh, wait.
12:43If he's the swordsmith who made it and he's dead,
12:46does that mean it can never be replaced?
12:52This is the place.
12:55Shirobeko.
12:56Miss Tai's family home.
12:57It's like a sister restaurant to Akabeko in Tokyo.
13:00Excuse me.
13:03Welcome, welcome.
13:04Come on in.
13:05Huh?
13:05Miss Tai!
13:06What are you doing in Kyoto?
13:08Tai?
13:09Oh, you must be the two who have come from Tokyo.
13:12Don't worry.
13:13I'm Tai's twin sister, Sai Sekihara.
13:16Pleasure to meet you.
13:20She wrote me and told me all about you.
13:22Sounds like you've had more than your share of trouble.
13:26You can put all that behind you.
13:28You're at Shirobeko now.
13:29And everybody here will do all we can to help you.
13:32Just like Tai would.
13:36Now all we've got to do is find Kenshin before Shishio or Aoshi does.
13:42Hang in there, Kenshin.
13:44Shaku Arai's reputation was legendary among the revolutionary warriors of the Bakumatsu era.
13:54But as he forged more and more blades, his interests transitioned from perfecting swords that cut to perfecting swords that kill.
14:02And that made him an outcast among swordsmiths.
14:05So a swordsmith specializing in killing swords was the one who created the non-lethal Sakabato?
14:11Something about that seems a little odd.
14:13A man's life can seem at times like a contradiction when viewed from the outside.
14:19Right, Himura.
14:23Anyway, it's said that Shaku Arai had a son to whom he passed on all his blade-making skills before he died.
14:31He was expected to become the greatest swordsmith of his generation.
14:35But we live in the Meiji era now.
14:38And in times like these, when there is little call for swords, he's found it difficult to make a living.
14:43So instead, he forges tools, such as kitchen knives and scythes.
14:47Now, this son of Shaku's, Seku Arai.
14:52It's possible he might be just the man to forge a new Sakabato, don't you think?
15:02Hello?
15:08That's Seku?
15:09I hope not!
15:12Take hands! Take hands!
15:14Shake hands! Shake hands! Shake hands!
15:18Shake hands!
15:19Shake hands with him!
15:20Oh, you want to shake hands. Alright.
15:23Nice to meet you.
15:28Yori!
15:29Are you making trouble?
15:34Sorry about that.
15:35Is there something you're looking for?
15:37Yes, I would like to see a kitchen knife. That I would.
15:41Himura?
15:42May I test the blade?
15:44Of course.
15:47Ah!
16:00That's a reversing cut! Never seen one before!
16:06A cut so fine there's no perceptible damage to the surface, and the two halves can be perfectly rejoined!
16:13That kind of trick can only be accomplished by a master blade and a master swordsman being brought together!
16:18But I never thought it could be done with a kitchen knife.
16:21Great!
16:21Great! Then there's no doubt about it!
16:24Seku Arai is definitely the man to make your new Sakabato, Himura!
16:28Excuse me, ma'am. Would it be possible for me to speak with Mr. Seku?
16:33It's important that I see him. No one but he can forge me a new sword.
16:37Oh, I'm not sure.
16:40Uh...
16:41There he is!
16:44Uh, hello there. I am Seku Arai. You were looking for me?
16:49You're Seku Arai? You're not quite what I expected.
16:52Yeah, people often say that.
16:56I, uh, couldn't help overhearing as I was walking up.
17:00I gather you want me to forge you a sword.
17:03I'm sorry, but I... I gave up forging swords some time ago.
17:08So I'm afraid I must decline your request.
17:12Say what?!
17:13I'm sorry!
17:16And why must you decline if you don't mind my asking?
17:19I expect I know why you've come to me to make you a sword.
17:23It's because of my father.
17:25You'd heard of Shaku Arai's reputation for perfecting swords that kill.
17:29I often heard my father say,
17:32These swords I am forging will create a new era.
17:37That's what my father believed.
17:39But I didn't share in his belief.
17:42The swords he forged in that belief shed so much blood.
17:46And took so many lives.
17:47What kind of new era can you create by killing people?
17:53I... could never understand that.
17:56It was a time of war and chaos back then, so...
18:00There was nothing I could do to stop it.
18:03But this is the Meiji era now.
18:06And finally, we are living in a time of peace.
18:09Samurais have abandoned their swords.
18:12So, likewise, I have abandoned sword making.
18:15I have chosen to live peacefully, forging nothing but tools.
18:19Oh, I see.
18:21So in your determination to be the opposite of your father, you become a pacifist.
18:25Well, it's not like a moral principle or anything.
18:29But I love peace.
18:31Just like everyone else in the world.
18:33I can't believe how naive you are!
18:36The world is full of people that don't feel that way!
18:38I understand how you feel, and I do.
18:41We wouldn't ask you to do anything you don't want to.
18:44So we'll just be on our way then.
18:45So that's it?
18:59You're just gonna walk away?
19:00Really?
19:01Didn't you hear him?
19:02That is a man who loves peace.
19:04From the bottom of his heart.
19:06Even a sakabato that does not kill is still a weapon of battle.
19:11I would never force a man like that to create such a thing.
19:15So, the search for a sakabato is back to square one.
19:18That it is.
19:24That young swordsman.
19:27You wouldn't have to make him one.
19:29There's the sword your father left behind.
19:31The last one he made.
19:32Oh no.
19:34It's best this way.
19:36This is the Meiji era.
19:38We don't need swords anymore.
19:47Matosai has been sighted.
19:49Report it to Lord Shishio at once.
19:51Will do.
19:52We come to the beautiful city of Kyoto and end up living in this dingy cave again?
20:04It isn't dingy.
20:06The interior's been made up quite nicely.
20:08Yeah, but still.
20:09It's only for two or three more months at the most.
20:12You can stand it.
20:13It's good to have you back, Lord Shishio.
20:37These are Dutch sword lilies.
20:40Also known as gladiolus or gladioli.
20:43As you see, the leaves are long and slender.
20:46Resembling swords used by the soldiers and gladiators of ancient Rome.
20:51In fact, the name of the flower gladiolus comes from gladius.
20:55The word for sword in Latin.
20:57The language of ancient Rome.
20:59It's beauty so noble.
21:05And fittingly for Lord Shishio, they stand for victory!
21:29And fittingly for Lord Shishio at once.
