"Judgement Day of Who is the Chosen" "It's a foreign ship!" "it's huge!" "You'll go to Shimabara from here by boat?" "Yeah... the legendary swordsman..." "We must seal away his ambitions." "that I did... you are going to Shimabara after all..." "If it is just like the late Sir Hyouei said..." "Blood will be shed unnecessarily from many innocent people in Shimabara." "I can't leave that be." "as the 13th successor of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style." "There is the thought of going there myself..." "But my idiot of an apprentice can be of use now... but you have no wish to be my successor or take my name as the 14th master." "If you don't get ready to fight at times like these the dozens of years of training and free food I gave you will go to waste!" "What was that about dozens of years?" "huh?" "You decided this for yourself so go!" "Yes." "I didn't know..." "Southern Europeans are smaller than I thought!" "those are dolls... what a beautiful hakama!" "That's a dress..." "So this is a music box?" "it's a beedoro!" "she's annoying..." "Why did we have to bring this weasel girl all the way over here?" "that it was..." "He wanted us to utilize the information network of the Oniwaban Group in this area." "I wonder if she'll be of any use like that..." "Come here!" "It's sponge cake!" "What?" "Sponge cake?" "Sponge cake!" "Yahiko!" "Ouch!" "Consul." "I am all right..." "You idiot!" "Watch where you're going!" "Ouch!" "Excuse me." "Are you hurt anywhere?" "You are..." "Sir Elsten!" "Mr. Himura!" "Himura." "and I owe him my life." "when I was in the Choshu area..." "There was a movement to rid the country of foreigners and thugs assaulted me personally." "The man who saved my life at that time was... of course." "that you are..." "Sir Elsten was a doctor who enthusiastically cured people of illness." "so you were a wonderful doctor." "I have heard many times about Mr. Himura from him." "Allow me to introduce you..." "Mr. Santou." "I hear that you are going to Shimabara?" "Sir Elsten... that it might..." "But has there been anything unusual about the Shimabara area recently?" "What do you mean?" "For instance rumors of a riot." "I wonder where you come up with such an idea..." "Shimabara is the picture of peace right now!" "I think so as well..." "Shimabara's history of oppressing Christians is tragic... it's the Meiji era now..." "People oppressing others such a tragedy must not happen again." "Mr. Himura!" "please contact me." "I will use whatever power I have to protect the people until the end." "and as a devout Christian..." "I just couldn't walk into a snotty place like that... sorry..." "What's with those guys?" "This is not like me..." "I'm disgusted!" "What a brute!" "I've never met a woman as self-centered as you before!" "Big Brother..." "Am I a self-centered woman?" "If someone ever said such a thing to me I feel that it would be unforgivable." "Sayo..." "Y-Yes?" "What did you do with the medallion?" "I-I'm having someone someone I know hold onto it." "It's just for a little while!" "Soon..." "You are not fit to lie."

"He turned the sky completely black!" "A miracle!" "He performed a miracle!" "all of you!" "it's Lord Kaiou!" "The miracles that Lord Shougo performs are all prophesied right here!" "The prophecies... written in the first year of Tensho!" "and the Son of God has appeared!" "He performs miracles with the powers given him by the Lord!" "With powers given him by the Lord..." "He performs miracles..." "The Son of God has appeared..." "Observe the miracle!" "Look at that!" "W-What the..." "It's a miracle!" "A miracle!" "Lord Shougo has performed yet another miracle!" "Do you see it?" "the child of miracles!" "Our savior!" "and turn this filthy world into the land of God!" "That's right!" "Lord Shougo is our messiah!" "He will save us!"

"Our savior has shown the divine sign of fire upon the seas." "and turn day into night..." "Everyone is prepared to throw their lives away for the sake of the savior." "I'll make it clear right now..." "There is no need to put on a false face when building the land of God." "I will not permit any tricks or illusions." "I see..." "Forgive me..." "I have notice from Lord Yamahigashi." "Himura the Battousai has reached Shimabara." "the legendary man who defeated Makoto Shishio appears... he will someday be a threat to be annihilated." "This is the perfect opportunity." "Then..." "Kill him..." "Yes!" "Do as you wish..." "No one can put him in his grave..." "So we're finally in Shimabara... no doubt about it." "According to the letter Sir Hyouei left behind the group led by Shougo Amakusa... that they have." "Then... that we do." "I understand." "I'll be going now." "You'll be going..." "You know where I'll be!" "There are friends of the Oniwaban Group here in Shimabara as well!" "I'll rake in more information!" "Bye!" "I'll be hoping for your success!" "weasel girl!" "what else do you expect from a former spy?" "please wait here." "Kenshin?" "We will look around first and come back." "Be careful." "Yes." "Leave it to us!" "you know..." "I can't believe so many people... or whatever..." "You really think so?" "The ban against Christianity has been lifted in the Meiji era but the sadness of the people of Shimabara won't end so easily." "Many people lost their lives in brutal murders just because they believed in a god from another country." "they hid from the government and continued to pray." "Their only salvation was to believe that someday a messiah would appear before them... you're siding with Shougo Amakusa?" "You think he's their messiah?" "I'm not saying that." "But... but..." "It makes me feel really lonely for some reason." "Do you think we should go back to the village and let them know?" "What should we do?" "What should we do?" "Let's go see!" "You idiot!" "they'll kill us!" "They're kids..." "Yeah..." "Do you think they'd know something about Shougo Amakusa?" "Maybe..." "Kaoru!" "outsiders!" "Lord Shougo!" "Ouch... wait!" "Yahiko!" "I wonder if this is theirs..." "Wait!" "they sure can run..." "Kaoru?" "Where did Kaoru go?" "Is someone home?" "C-Can this possibly be..." "I'm surprised that there is such a place underground..." "According to the map that Sir Hyouei left behind there is a grand cathedral hidden deep underneath the ground." "A grand cathedral?" "it's the secret cathedral that the Christians in hiding desperately preserved avoiding the eyes of the Tokugawa shogunate." "It's the one that Shirou Amakusa supposedly prayed in 250 years ago..." "I can't believe such a thing." "do you think the government would let it go?" "or really true?" "It doesn't matter either way..." "Since you're going to hell right now!" "it looks like we just found a monster!" "now we can test the waters!" "rooster head!" "Are you the Battousai?" "My name is Sanosuke Sagara!" "Remember it!" "Then the little one is the infamous demon?" "Demon?" "who in the world are you?" "I'll show you right now!" "Kenshin?" "you demon!" "There's no end to them!" "run!" "that we will!" "we'll turn around and get them one at a time!" "Yeah!" "It looks like dogs really like me..." "You are our enemy." "everyone will die!" "Everyone will die?" "Go to hell!" "A grand cathedral?" "I swear to the holy spirit..." "I will engulf the life of Kenshin Himura in flames and sacrifice it on the altar tonight..."

"250)}These innocent emotions run around in circles.... 250)}It can't even say I love you... 250)}My heart... sleepless night whispers my feelings for you... 250)}..."
