"Sorry to keep you waiting." "Rice balls!" "Here you go." "They're truly delicious." "Oh you..." "Let's do it!" "Right!" "Attack!" "Finally, we'll take down Yoshida Toyo*!" "Leader of the Tosa clan" "Takechi-san!" "The Tosa clan will be reborn." "Takechi-san, Takechi-san!" "I can't go along with your way of thinking any longer." "Aza!" "Aza, why have we been brought to this world?" "Ah...it's just that breakfast is ready." "I understand." "Is something the matter?" "Ah...could it be that you and Narasaki-san are Shuudou?" "Shuudou:" "Love between men." "You're wrong." "This isn't good, This situation is starting to feel natural." "What?" "It's fine isn't it?" "Being at peace is the most important thing." "Can I have seconds?" "Of course." "Sorry, you've had to wait but finally my new business plan is done." "No-one's been waiting, for that plan." "Toranosuke are you planning another get rich quick scheme." "Good morning Toranosuke." "What about your snack bar job?" "It's such small time work in that shabby bar," "I want to strike it big in one shot." "What's your plan this time?" "Do you intend to sell antiques again?" "Nah." "This time it's not hanging scrolls and vases." "It's something far more awesome." "I'm going to get my hands on a ton of money." "I've got a big business idea." "Don't be surprised when you hear." "I don't want to know." "Listen!" "So... what then?" "It's like this, the Yankee legacy, the Yankee legacy." "Gramps, could you pass me the dressing." "Yes, yes." "Sesame right?" "This omelet is delicious." "I've used some Tosa Benito in it." "Thank you very much." "That should definitely taste good!" "What?" "Is it that good?" "...Why am I being left out." "What?" "So," "I was talking about the Yankee legacy." "What is that?" "Try and imagine it." "In this area there are loads of former Yankees hanging about." "There are remodeled bikes and clothes from the olden days all over the place." "So you're going to sell them?" "I'm going to gather up the Yankee legacy and make a killing selling it online." "Yankee Antique Project, or YNP for short." "YAP there is no N in it." "Ah... right I see." "Seriously this is totally going to work." "But is there anyone in Japan these days, who will buy that stuff?" "No no, my customer is the world?" "Yankees are popular in places like America." "It's totally going to work." "They're not the same thing." "Toranosuke, if you have time to make up stupid plans seriously get working." "What's with your high and mighty attitude." "You're getting food and lodging for free, you work!" "That's right, you're getting food and a room the least you could do is pay some rent." "Come come..." "let's all get on." "You too!" "That's true..." "It doesn't matter to me at all." "Until the day you can return to the Bakumatsu, please enjoy yourself to you hearts content." "Coming up next on the news." "Continuing from last month,  yet another dissatisfied youth has murdered his boss" "What!" "That's him isn't it!" "The guy that Takechi-San took down." "That's right." "This matter was revealed on  a community networking web site." "The Heisei Manifesto." "What is it Aza?" "It's nothing." "Certainly, we can't continue eating Saeki-dono's food for free." "What?" "What is it, you seem distracted?" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Isn't it about time we return to our own time?" "Well..." "You should be thinking about it seriously too." "I've thought about it, but it can't be helped." "To be honest I... think it's fine being here as we are." "Don't you have any lingering affection for our time?" "Not really." "Do you have a wife?" "I do." "To tell the truth Narasaki is my wife's maiden name." "So that's how it is." "I'll tell you roughly, she's the daughter of a Kyoto doctor, Narasaki Shosaku-san." "The loyalist doctor, Narasaki-dono." "You know him?" "Yes, in the Ansei era, he was rounded up and implicated in a crime." "Ansei Roundup:" "An incident in 1858 where all those against the shogunate were arrested." "Yes." "She must have been really sad when you died." "That would be nice, she was a strong -hearted woman." "Don't you want to go back and see her again?" "Well after I was assassinated, various things happened she got re-married to Yokosuka, a shop keeper." "I see." "So I guess that you want to return to our time so that you can see Tomiko-san again." "That's true but I'm also concerned about my compatriots." "It doesn't matter what happens to me but" "I want to help my compatriots who are in prison." "And so" "I have to think about getting back." "As usual, you're thoughtful of your friends aren't you Takechi-san." "You're kidding." "What is it?" "Get a hold of yourself." "Could it be... he's from the past!" "The Bakumatsu period was a perilous time for the nation of Japan." "The patriots of prominent domains were rising up and putting their lives on the line in battle." "Aza, let's carry him?" "After approximately 150 years, how would this country's transformed appearance be reflected in their eyes." "Wouldn't it be better to call an ambulance?" "What is an ambulance?" "Let's take her to Rio-San shop, back up!" "It's closer." "Back up?" "It's closer?" "... Yes back up." "This is the story of a certain patriot of the Bakumatsu, who became lost in the Heisei world." "Hold him tightly" "What's going on, it's not opening time yet." "Let's lay him down there." "Got it." "What are you doing barging in here." "He was collapsed in the road and is injured." "Why did you bring him here?" "He might be someone from the past?" "Huh!" "Go and get the first aid kit." "Good grief..." "What is it?" "Onizawa-senpai?" "Onizawa?" "You know him?" "I don't know him as such, but he's a really famous Yankee." "Yankee?" "This man is Onizawa Katsumi-san." "He ruled over the whole prefecture, he was the head of, the Joshuu daruma group, a legendary biker gang." "Joshuu daruma group...is that something like the Tosa loyalist party?" "Well something like that." "Actually it's completely different." "At any rate he was a really strong fighter, not to be messed with." "When I was having some trouble with the Kumakai lot, he helped me." "All of the former Yankees in this area respect him." "His nickname is The Devil Daruma of Joushuu." "Daruma:" "A round, red-painted good luck doll." "Devil Daruma..." "There is a rumour that 5 years ago, when he was in a fight with the Tochiki bandits, when he took someone down their blood spurted all over him and made him look truly like a blood red daruma." "But because of that, in the end he was captured and sent to jail" "Jail?" "Prison." "I see so this man has been in prison." "Finally he's able to come back..." "So he is not someone from the past." "Of course he isn't, what are you talking about!" "So why was he collapsed there, in the road?" "He's close." "You know where he is by doing that?" "Of course I don't." "Sorry." "I wonder where Onizawa was going?" "I'm sure that the shop he used to run is in this area." "Aren't they the guys from Tochiki?" "Ah the guys from that fight, 5 years ago?" "Maybe, at Rio-san place again?" "What are you looking at old women." "The monkeys are coming down from the mountains!" "Hey, wait!" "You've returned to Kamisato town." "But bringing him here, might not be a good thing." "Why?" "Because Onizawa-senpai is Rio's husband." "What?" "So Rio, just like Tomiko, has been waiting all this time, for her husband to get out of prison?" "Well, it's not quite like that." "How should I put it..." "Peta-senpai." "Rio-dono." "Good timing." "I was reading this book because I wanted to get to know Peta-senpai better." "Bakumatsu even a monkey can understand." "But more importantly..." "I have super respect for Peta-senpai's way of life." "Seriously, will you marry me?" "What are you saying, you already have a beloved husband." "Have you fallen for him Rio?" "Onizawa-senpai, hi ya." "Why is Katsumi here?" "That's what I'd like to know." "We found this man, bleeding and collapsed in the road." "So we thought we'd save him." "Isn't it good Rio-dono?" "Your husband has most splendidly completed his duty and returned to you." "What?" "Onizawa-dono." "Onizawa-dono?" "You too have had a difficult time." "What?" "5 years of prison life, must have been terribly hard." "I had to wait a year and a half until I committed Seppuku." "I don't know whether I could of held on for 5 years." "What the hell are you saying." "Finally you've been released and have returned to your family." "Your feelings must run very deep." "I understand." "I understand very well." "What you are feeling is that which I understand the best." "Why do you look like you're going to cry." "I'm sorry." "He isn't really a normal person." "I'm sorry..." "I've said a little too much." "Aza let's go." "What?" "Toranosuke, the shop is closed today." "Let's not get in the way of this couple's reunion." "Wait Peta-senpai." "It's fine!" "Rio-dono, you've been anticipating this day for a long time." "Please prepare a hot meal and a futon." "I tell you Peta-senpai you are mistaken." "What?" "We are divorced." "Divorced?" "What..." "This guy doesn't do any worthwhile work and just spends all his time fighting." "I no longer care for him." "I went to the prison and got him to stamp the divorce papers." "You mean you served him divorce papers while he was in prison?" "That's too harsh...!" "So you are saying that whilst Onizawa-dono was in prison you abandoned him!" "Are you looking for a fight." "Apologise or you'll be killed." "I, of all people, was ignorant of the situation and" "I thoughtlessly got in between the two of you." "I am most terribly sorry." "OK." "What's with this weakling." "Hey Rio, have you seriously fallen for this weirdo?" "It's got nothing to do with you." "Peta-senpai isn't weak at all." "He's much much kinder than you are." "Now get out and never come back here again." "Hey, Topknot." "Come with me for a bit." "Why is it you've brought us here." "Let's have a Taiman match." "Taiman?" "A one against one match." "You skinny glasses guy, stand back." "Ah...sure." "So I'll be the witness." "I have no reason to fight you." "I do!" "Wait!" "Onizawa-dono." "That's the Devil Daruma." "Wait." "Shut up." "That's enough." "I don't believe it." "Are you okay?" "That I could be taken down." "It's your opponent that's to blame." "Takechi-San is certified master in the school of Akechi fencing." "But, you're too are quite the strong opponent." "What you skinny glasses bastard, talking high and mighty at me." "We had to train hard from when we were children." "It's only natural that an amateur like you would lose." "However for someone of this age you have quite the spirit." "You're strong Topknot." "No wonder Rio fell for you." "Onizawa-dono, Rio-dono and I don't have that kind of relationship." "I have a favour to ask of you." "A favour?" "Can you protect Rio and Yuna for me." "What do you mean?" "Do you know about the Tochiki bandits?" "I understand they are an opposing group." "I looked them up on the internet, they seem like a dangerous lot." "Didn't you defeat them?" "They attacked me as soon as I was released from prison." "So that's why you were injured..." "The bandit who did this to my head, is the bastard Saruka." "He's one crazy guy." "His nickname is the monkey shogun of the daylight road." "You guys really like that kind of thing." "He is holding a grudge against me after I gave him a vicious beating 5 years ago." "Because you showed me hell..." "You and your family..." "What the hell!" "I ran like crazy to Rio's place." "They were the only thing I wanted to protect." "However I ran out of energy and collapsed in the road." "So that's what happened." "No matter what, I will stop those bandits." "However Rio is now your women." "If worse comes to the worse, I want you to protect her." "Please." "I understand." "It's a promise." "No you shouldn't understand." "I'm sorry." "However..." "Rio-dono is not my woman." "It's better that she hear the situation directly from you." "This is Kamisato town council." "At just past midday today, on the road that runs alongside the town, two women were attacked by a group of bandits." "If you see anything, please report it to the town council or the police." "Has Onizawa been released?" "It's going to be trouble..." "It was quite the problem back then." "The fields around here were laid to waste and cars were destroyed." "It even got into the papers." "Our town got an image as a biker gang town." "That's not it, I mean about Rio-chan." "Rio?" "You have to keep it a secret that I've been aiming for Rio-chan." "I'll be killed by Onizawa." "Touch wood..." "What is it?" "Chief look there!" "It's going to be raining blood in Kamisato town again." "Rio!" "Yuna!" "Toranosuke-kun!" "Are you OK Toranosuke?" "Hey, wake up!" "You're being too rough!" "What happened?" "The Tochiki bandits came..." "Where's Onizawa?" "He left." "I don't know where he went." "Can you take two sticks." "I really don't know!" "What about the woman and child?" "Please give me a break...." "Shall I make it go round and round?" "Rio-san...!" "She went shopping at the supermarket." "Please give me a break..." "Wait a minute Takechi-san!" "Hello, it's Narasaki." "Is that Rio-san?" "Are you safe?" "Yes, what is it?" "Onizawa-san is heading your way." "The Tochiki bandit gang came to your shop." "What?" "They are aiming for you and Yuna." "For now please hide somewhere safe." "Takechi-san and I are coming to rescue you." "Yuna...!" "How is Rio-dono?" "Perhaps we should go find Yuna." "It's about time for cram school." "Hold on, wait..." "It's dangerous to go alone." "Ah, that man...!" "Uhm...er..." "Are you OK?" "Shit, we've got dragged into something awful." "You're right." "Normally that's what you'd think." "Hey hey, aren't you going to look after me?" "Bandages and the like..." "I don't know." "Is that right." "Thank you very much." "Oh, you surprised me." "Sachiko-dono Cheers." "What are you doing?" "I'm gathering together bikes and clothes for Tora-chans business plan." "What do you think, does it suit me?" "Where is Yuna-dono?" "Over there." "Sensei." "Yuna-dono." "Whats going on?" "Nothing." "Has something happened?" "Since her Dad got out of prison she's being bullied." "What, is that right?" "They only took my hat and wouldn't give it back." "Sensei, you go get them." "What were you doing when" "Yuna-dono was being teased?" "Did you just watch?" "Why didn't you help her?" "Because they were older students." "Misuki-san can bench press 102 kilos." "Wow!" "Aren't you guys all friends at this cram school." "Yuna!" "Thank goodness..." "Riku and Kento come here." "Did something happen to you?" "Rio-san, didn't you agree that Yuna-chan wouldn't come around to play for a while?" "Does this have a relation to the fact that" "Rio-dono's former husband has been released from prison." "I don't want to say that but..." "Rio-san you don't want to cause any trouble for anyone, do you?" "I'm sorry." "Goodness me, what's happened." "Why's the door open." "Everyone sit down." "Let's get along and have fun studying." "It seems I'm in the way," "I'll just excuse myself." "It's fine, I'm used to this kind of thing." "I've been cut off from the messaging group before too." "I understand that I have to keep my distance." "Is it because Onizawa-dono is Yuna's father?" "Yes." "I don't have children myself so I don't know but" "I think it must be pretty hard to bring up a child single handedly." "No it's fun." "Rio-dono, you're strong." "Right." "I have to go open the snack bar and make some money." "I'll go with you and help clear up." "It's fine, you don't have to do that." "Once the snack bar's back to normal, I'll take responsibility for bringing Yuna home." "That way we can finish this without frightening her." "Thank you Samurai Sensei." "Rio-dono you have helped me out many times." "It's the least I can do." "After all I do really want to marry Peta-senpai." "I can't grant that wish, I have Tomiko." "You guys, get off." "I've got Onizawa's woman." "You there, what have you done to Rio-dono?" "Shit, what's this." "What are you?" "A samurai." "Let Rio-dono go." "Huh?" "Do you want to fight?" "Are you stupid!" "?" "Your way of fighting is out-dated." "Hey are you alive, Topknot?" "Tell Onizawa if he wants his women back to come alone to the warehouse near the lake." "If the police come, you know what will happen." "So not a word." "Rio-dono!" "Takechi-san?" "Takechi-san?" "Hey, Takechi-san!" "Okay everyone, let's take a break and go over there." "Peta-senpai is okay now, so you don't need to worry about him." "Come, come, off you go." "Come, come." "Yes." "Topknot!" "Haruka-chan." "Yuna-chan is safe." "But Rio..." "we haven't been able to contact her." "Hey wake up, Topknot." "What happened!" "Please stop!" "Topknot, hey Topknot." "Please be quiet." "It's Onizawa-senpai's fault." "I don't want to say it but both the topknot and I were taken out." "That's right." "It caused everyone trouble." "I understand, it's all my responsibility." "So noisy..." "Takechi-San!" "Takechi-San are you okay?" "You should lie down..." "I have to rescue Rio-dono." "Where is Rio?" "She was taken to the warehouse by the lake." "I was with her..." "I'm sorry, Onizawa-dono." "You're a big man, aren't you." "What do you intend to do?" "I will take responsibility for this by myself." "I caused you all trouble." "I'm sorry." "Let's contact the police." "You mustn't do that." "That could put Rio-dono in danger." "They might misread the situation and come for us." "It would be troublesome if there's huge disturbance again." "But Rio is...?" "She's okay." "It's Onizawa that they're after." "We can't get involved in a fight with those delinquents, it's best to leave it." "We should leave this to Onizawa-senpai." "Besides Rio-san used to be a delinquent too, didn't she." "She was the leader of the Ladies group." "That's right but." "Well I think we shouldn't get involved any more." "What are you all saying!" "Do you really intend to abandon your friend?" "It can't be helped." "What else can we do?" "To be honest it's got nothing to do with us." "Toranosuke, aren't you indebted to Rio-dono and Onizawa-dono?" "And hasn't Rio-dono spent her time together with the rest of the mothers here in this town." "Haruka-dono are you not" "Rio-dono's true friend?" "Aren't you friends connected in the same circle in the small picture box?" "Don't you all laugh together about foolish things?" "Or is it just a superficial relationship." "You meet with them, bump heads with them and walk together shoulder to shoulder, not needing to understanding anything." "Even if it troublesome, or serves you no benefit, you answer their feelings honestly." "That's what's being a true friend is." "No matter what, you don't abandon them." "I will go by myself." "You can't go in your condition." "Aza, let go." "I'm going." "You, restrain yourself!" "You've always been like this Takechi-san." "Your sense of duty and your humanity, lead you to risk your life for mere trivialities." "When the rebellion happened in Kyoto, why did you go back to Tosa, instead of Choshu, even though you knew it was dangerous?" "Nakaoka would've told you that the police investigators were coming from the castle." "Why didn't you just run away?" "You must have known you'd be made to commit seppuku." "Yes." "I'm the leader of the Tosa loyalist party." "I couldn't just leave my compatriots who looked up to me." "I can't go along with Takechi-san's way of thinking." "It seems there are things, we just can't see eye to eye on." "For god's sake, learn!" "Is there any point in putting your life on the line for the delinquents of this era." "It's got nothing to do with the era!" "I'm just being true to my way of living." "Are you not going to go too?" "I... abandoned my compatriots in Tosa and became a lordless samurai." "I'm no longer qualified to fight by Takechi-san's side." "Even I have a logic I must follow through with." "You yourself know best of all that you're not the kind of person to get caught up in trivial matters like logic and pride." "Please." "Please can you rescue them." "Right now, you're the only person that can do it," "Sakamoto Ryouma-dono." "What does that mean?" "Didn't you know?" "That man is Sakamoto Ryouma." "What!" "When I crush the Devil Daruma" "I shall have a plenty of fun with you right in front of him." "Don't you touch me, monkey." "Tsk, tsk." "If you're too cheeky you and the kid will get teased you know." "If you lay a finger on Yuna, I'll kill you." "Scary!" "Katsumi..." "Well then!" "Are you here to pay back your debt from 5 years ago?" "I am truly sorry about that time." "I don't care what you do to me, but it's nothing to do with Rio and Yuna." "Please leave them alone." "Please!" "Joshu's Devil Daruma has got quite round." "Sarukawa-san darumas are round in the first place." "Get him." "Hey Daruma!" "This is no time for you to be falling over Daruma." "Stand!" "Please release Rio." "I'm only just getting started." "I'll show what a true hell looks like." "You'll want to go back to prison." "That's enough mountain monkey." "What?" "You..." "Peta-senpai." "You're still alive then, pervert Topknot." "I'm not a Topknot." "I'm the Tosa loyalist party's Takechi Hanpeita!" "Die!" "Peta-senpai." "Do it!" "Aza!" "Skinny glasses guy." "Who are you, you bastard!" "Well..." "I'm the glasses wearing" "Tosa dragon!" "Your inclinations haven't changed." "I'm the Tiger of North Azuma." "I can't hear you!" "I'm Haru of the Kamisato town council!" "What the hell?" "The town council?" "We have come to assist Takechi Hanpeita in saving Rio-dono." "Is it a Halloween fancy dress party?" "What should we do!" "Haruka-san you get Rio-san." "Toranosuke-kun hold onto this." "Is that okay?" "Let's go." "He's strong..." "Takechi-San, can you still fight?" "Of course I can." "As long as I have you at my back, I'm fine." "With the two of us, I've a feeling we won't lose." "Awesome..." "Scary..." "What is it with that guy?" "Is he a monster?" "Just this time." "You guys!" "Don't move." "I'll kill her." "Yo... you bastard." "Red knuckle dusters." "It can't be...you're crimson Rio..." "Mountain Monkey!" "Never show your face in front of us again." "She's even scarier than my sister Otome." "Yes, you're right." "What do you think of my fighting today?" "Huh!" "You didn't do anything did you." "I threw some fairly good punches." "What I saw was this this..." "No that's wrong." "I hit him properly." "It was a kitten punch." "No, no, no, no, no" "Here you go." "It's only because today was a really special situation." "I understand." "Thank you Haru-chan." "Hey, Takechi-san." "There is something I've always wanted to ask you." "Were you angry at me for becoming a lordless samurai?" "How unusual, you being so serious." "Give me a honest answer." "I wasn't mad at all." "In the first place" "I thought that you weren't a man who'd settle in Tosa." "As I thought I'm no match for you." "What are you saying." "Aren't you a hero of the Bakumatsu?" "Ah, are you jealous?" "Are you an idiot." "Hey Topknot." "Narasaki-san." "You're slow." "Hurry up." "Yes." "Ouch." "Takechi-san I'm sorry." "Kitsune (Fox)." "Neko (Cat)." "They are playing a word game Shiritori." "Kotsutsueme (Parcel)." "me...memesu (earthworm)." "Sugou (Arts)." "U...usagi (rabbit)." "You didn't do it." "You didn't do it!" "Kento, did you do it." "I didn't." "It wasn't me." "Enough already." "Shall we go again." "From here ay." "Umm Gi gi..." "Giniro (silver) Ro..." "Roba (robber)." "Ba..." "Ba..." "Ba." "Aza, why were we brought to this time." "I don't know... but there is surely some meaning to it." "Meaning?" "I don't think the heavens brought us here just on some whim." "I think we must have been brought here to do something." "What is it?" "This thing we have to do?" "I'm not sure." "But it will certainly be something that only we can do." "Only we..." "Hey Takechi-san." "Why don't the two of us, raise hell here in this time, like we did back in the Bakumatsu." "Don't be silly." "I see." "Takechi-san welcome home." "Do we have a visitor?" "Not really, it's..." "I'm Ujiie from the metropolitan police department." "We are pursuing the suspect in a case." "Suspect?" "Do you know him?" "A man called Narasaki."
