143 Suzu: You've been such a good worker. I'll give you a nice present. Cat: Nyaaaa Suzu: Oh... Suzu: Well? I still haven't heard any worthwhile information from you. Suzu ...Don't think I'm keeping you around because I like you. Saitou: ...... Saitou: You're a very strange man. SFX: *giggle*
144 Suzu: But I pity you. Suzu: You never have any fun, do you? Suzu: Come here... Suzu: Don't you know that getting there is half the fun? Saitou: I want to get to know you... Saitou: You are a strange man. Saitou: Who could you possibly hate so much that you would go to these extremes...?
145 Suzu: Hatred? SFX: *giggle* Suzu: Is that what you think...? Suzu: It's nothing so simple as that. SFX: *splash* Suzu: This is love... SFX: *wind* SFX: *huff* SFX: *huff* SFX: *huff*
146 Umanosuke: I'm sorry!! Umanosuke: I'm so late!! SFX: *huff* Man: What were you doing, Umanosuke!? Umanosuke: But what about the Captain!? Umanosuke: Shouldn't he be here!? Other Guy: That was the plan, but he hasn't showed yet. Shiramine: DOn't worry, I'm sure he's fine... Shiramine: Unless he ran into an assassin alogn the way... Beard Guy: No way! The Captain wouldn't let something like that happen!! SFX: *hahaha* Shiramine: You can't just be so nonchalant. Shiramine: Everyone in Japan has heard of Sakamoto Ryouma by now. Shiramine: I've heard he's so famous that he can't even go near his hometown. Umanosuke: Shiramine-san, there's something I want to talk to you about... have you always been such a pessimist? Umanosuke handwritten: [Just a sec...] Shiramine: Yes. Beard Guy handwritten: UWAAAAHHHH!! CAPTAIN!! Beard Guy: If what you say is true, what will happen to all of us in the Kaientai!?
147 Kenkichi: The Shogunate knows that we intend to reinstate imperial rule... Ponytail Guy: So what? What do we do now? Ponytail Guy: If Sakamoto-sensei doesn't come back, what happens to us? Kenkichi: Then we'll stick to the restorations plans that he and Nagaoka came up with. Kenkichi: Isn't the Shogunate in need of a real leader? Surly-looking Dude: Doesn't that all sound too easy? Ponytail Guy: Ah, I've had enough of this... SFX: *dramatic step* Ryouma: Sakamoto-sensei has returned.
148 SFX: *dramatic noise* Men: Captain!! Men: Captain, you're alright...!! Men: Captain! SFX: *cheering* Men: We've been waiting for you, Captain! Men: Captain! Men: Captain Sakamoto!! SFX: *footsteps*
149 SFX: *footsteps* Ryouma: ......... Nagaoka: ...... Nagaoka: ...Ryouma. Ryouma: ...Shinta. SFX: *gulp* SFX: *grip*
150 SFX: *grin* Men: ...... SFX: *sparkle* Nagaoka: ...... Nagaoka: Oh... Nagaoka: Oh.....? SFX: *nod* Ryouma: Ohhh yes. SFX: *swoosh* Ryouma: OH YEAH!!

Men: You're the best, Captain!! Men: Banzai!! Men: That's our Captain!! Men: Banzai!! Men: Banzai!! Text Box: Ryouma's talking about imperial restoration - the Tokugawa Shogunate had ruled Japan since Ieyasu's time, over 250 years, so imperial restoration means giving military power back to the Emperor and the Imperial Court.
152 Nagaoka: I know you can do it!! SFX: *uwaaaaa* Men: Banzai!! SFX: *waaaaah* Ryouma: Oh come on, it's not just me. Men: Banzai!! Nagaoka: No matter what, I know you can do it!! Nagaoka: Even Tokugawa is only one man... Nagaoka: Bring me sake!! We're going to have a party!! SFX: *Yeah!!* Ryouma: No, Shinta! Ryouma: We've got to be very, very quiet... SFX: *ahahahaha* Men: Captain... Men: Captain... Ryouma: What is it, you guys? I've only been away for a little while. Ryouma: Cheer up! I wanna see happy faces! SFX: *hahaha* Guy with hair in his eyes: Okay, Sensei! Kenkichi: But you've gotten so cool!! Kenkichi: I didn't even recognise you at first!!
153 Ryouma: AH! My trusty old "uniform"... Ryouma: Don't you know my fashion sense has to change with the times?! Men: Well who wouldn't instantly recognise that weird look... Ryouma: ...Kenkichi! Ryouma: I oughta reward you for all the trouble you've gone through! Ryouma: I sure have missed having smart guys like you at Katsu-san around. Kenkichi: But sir! Kenkichi: I just wanted to help, that's all... Kenkichi: The greatest reward for me is seeing you safe and sound! I was so worried... Pretty Guy: ...This is too much. Pretty Guy: After all you've put us through, now I've got to listen to you ramble on. Umanosuke handwritten: Captain!! Pretty Guy: ...You certainly took your time coming back from Kyoto. Ryouma: Well, you know, things happened and I got delayed... SFX: *sigh*
154 Ryouma: And I did end up having to go all by myself... Ryouma: Because somebody got a bellyache AGAIN and couldn't come... Pretty Guy handwritten: You can do it, Captain! SFX: *groan* Pretty Guy handwritten: Please, go on without me, Captain... Pretty GUy: ...... SFX: *HAHAHAHA* Ryouma: So I had to find myself a new bodygard... Ryouma: Hey Sarah! SFX: *murmering* Ryouma: Guys, I wanna introduce you to Sarah! Ryouma: She was a ninja scouting around Kyoto, and now she's working for me. Ryouma: She's pretty but she's tough as nails - that's my kind of woman! Men: A GIRL!? SFX: *crowd noise* Men: What a cute bodyguard! Men: Wow, a woman! Sarah: This is too much...! Men handwritten: A girl! *heart* A girl! *heart* Sarah: Why did it have to be a bunch of men... SFX: *hahahaha* Ryouma: Sarah is so shy! SFX: *glug glug*
155 Ryouma: Okay, guys, this sake isn't for celebrating. Ryouma: The battle is nearing, so this is a drink to send us off. Ryouma: Satsuma and Choushuu may have rallied together behind the Emperor, but we're going up against 400,000 of Tokugawa's forces. Ryouma: Weakness is Japan's greatest enemy. Ryouma: We won't make it through the revolution unscathed. Umanosuke: "*Reboryuushun*?" What's that? Pretty Guy: It means "*kakumei*" Ryouma: Just think of these dark, difficult times... Ryouma: And then imagine a shining dawn of a new Japan... Ryouma: Even if we're down to the last man, you've got to believe...! Ryouma: Because... Ryouma: Someday, somehow... the future of Japan is coming!!
156 Ryouma: And it won't matter anymore if you're a samurai or a common farmer - social class won't mean anything in the free world!! Ryouma: It's time for us, the Kaientai, to set sail for the new world - the new Japan!! Ryouma: Japan is an tiny island, and we've been too confined in our thinking! Ryouma: America... England... Holland... we're headed for the "free world" Ryouma: You might say what we're trying to accomplish is "too hard"... Ryouma: But we of the Kaientai are opening up a new world!!
157 Sarah: [That's what he always thought too...] Sarah: [But it was never meant to be...] Umanosuke: [Everyone is so devoted to him...] Umanosuke: [Wow... she has such pretty blue eyes!] Men: Captain!!

SFX: *shiver* Ryouma: I've seen you look worse... have a little pity on me... Nagaoka: Okay, okay. SFX: *shake* Ryouma: I don't even have the enegy to get pissed off... Nagaoka: It's almost your birthday so I'll go easy on you! Nagaoka: After all, you've been working hard for the past few years without a break. Nagaoka: When this is all over, why don't we leave everything to Katsu-san and the others and take some time off? SFX: *shiver* Ryouma: Yeah... Nagaoka: Sarah! Could you bring a futon? Ryouma is falling asleep. SFX: *sulk* Sarah: What the hell? I'm not your damned maid. SFX: *knock knock* Sarah: That must be the shopkeeper bringing you some futons.
160 Nagaoka: Hey, Ryouma! Maybe if you went back to Tosa, your cold would get better? Ryouma: Maybe so... Ryouma: But what if the girl who's waiting for me came here instead? SFX: *sniffle* Nagaoka: Your girl!? You mean Oryou? Ryouma: Hey, Shinta, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about. Ryouma: There's these two brothers in the Shinsengumi...

167 Suzu: Neither of you have any luck, it seems... once again, the man you love is killed... Suzu: ...Perhaps... Suzu: Being loved by you was bad for their health? SFX: *laugh* Suzu: Perhaps it's your filthy blood? You're really a troublesome woman. Ahahahaha~~!! Sarah: ...Damn you... Sarah: I'll kill you... SFX: *pull* SFX: *slam*] Sarah: Gah! SFX: *fall* Suzu: ...I'll let you live. Suzu: So I trust you won't get in my way again?

169 Suzu: You're a bad man. Suzu: You were going to take Tetsu away from me. Suzu: You would have taken him across the sea... I don't like that. Suzu: He would go somewhere I can't see him anymore. Suzu: You're a bad, bad man. Hikagami: ......
170 Suzu: Just dump the woman someplace outside Kyoto. Suzu: She's in my way. SFX: *movement* Suzu: I'm sure Sakamoto Ryouma's followers... Suzu: Will be overwhelmed with rage... Suzu: And who will they find at the scene of the crime? Suzu: Tetsu.
