1 Mutsu: It's beginning. Mutsu: "Red hair"... Mutsu: "About 16 or 17 years old"...
2 Mutsu: Ichimura Tetsunosuke. We've found our target. Text: [Chapter 24] Text: [Target]
3 Men: Bring more! Men: Hurry up! Men: First unit is moving out! Hijikata: ...... Hijikata: So you've come back to life? Hijikata: I'd love to know how you pulled that, pretty boy. Itou: Aha... fufufu, you've regained your cool, handsome man~
4 Hijikata: ...Heh. Hijikata: I see.
5 Hijikata: Nice trick. Hijikata: I'll get right to the point. Hijikata: What do you want? Itou: First of all... Itou: First of all, I'd like Kondou-kyokuchou to be beheaded in apology for betraying me. Itou: And then I'd like that idiot's head to be given to me to do with as I please. Itou: One life in exchange for sparing the rest of your men? I don't think my conditions are too harsh.
6 Itou: Secondly, Itou: I want one hundred of your most skilled men for my Goryoueji. Itou: They'll really help out when I overthrow the shogunate~ *heart* Itou: Oh, and after that they can return to their fields or their mountains or whatever. Itou: And thirdly, Itou: I want you to be my pet. Itou: When they see you kneel at my feet as my servant, Itou: The Shinsengumi's pride will be in ruins.
7 Itou: I do hope you'll think of your friends... Itou: When you make your descision...? Guy with bandaged eye: Kondou-kyokuchou...? Kondou: Hmm? Guy with bandaged eye: Those guys out there... were they all ordered by Itou? Guy with bandaged eye: But why would he... Kondou: Who knows? I don't have the slightest idea! Kondou: Whatever the reason, I'm leaving it all to Toshi. Kondou: You don't have to worry, you're safe in here. Guy with bandaged eye: B... but... Guy with bandaged eye: Are you sure, Kyokuchou? Guy with bandaged eye: Maybe he was trying to force some kind of deal...
8 Kondou: What do you think your Fukuchou would say... Kondou: If he was asked to sell the Shinsengumi...? Hijikata: [word bubble is completely empty] Itou: ....What... Itou: Did you say...?
9 Hijikata: I said that won't be enough. Hijikata: Did you think you could crush the Shinsengumi with two or three hundred hired thugs? Hijikata and Kondou: Every man in the Shinsengumi has pledged his fidelity and his life. Hijikata and Kondou: You think something like that can be given away like a prize?
10 Kondou and Hijikata: I believe in them. Kondou and Hijikata: Until their Kyokuchou says "job well done"... Kondou and Hijikata: They won't die no matter how many times you try to kill them!
11 Thugs: Kill those Mibu Wolves!! Shinsengumi: AHHHHHH!! Thug: Ahh!!
12 Another Thug: Shit!! Shinsengumi Guy: How many are there!? I keep cutting and cutting but they won't stop!! Shinsengumi Guy: Gaah!! Shinsengumi Guy: Where is Saitou-sensei!? Sensei isn't here!? Shinsengumi: !? Shinsengumi: What!?
13 Thug: Gyaa!! Thug: Wah!
14 SHinsengumi Guy: I... Shinsengumi Guy: Ichimura!!? Thugs: Uwaah! Thugs: Gyaaaahhh!!
15 Shinsengumi Guy: A... amazing, Ichimura...! Shinsengumi Guy: Just look! SHinsengumi Guy: He hit every one of them in a vital spot! Shinsengumi Guy: Is this what Nagakura-sensei was talking about...? Shinsengumi Guy: ...!
16 Tetsu and Shinsengumi: You think we'll lose that easy!? Tetsu and Shinsengumi: It doesn't matter how many of you there are if you're all weak! Tetsu and Shinsengumi: Who wants to mess with the Shinsengumi now!!? Thugs: Uwaaah... Thug: It hurts... Tetsu: Okay... Tetsu: Who's next?
17 Tetsu: ......
18 no text (Note: If you don't have the book to look at, this is a cool scene where all of Ryouma's followers are behind poor Tetsu, whose shorts are falling off... it's hot... yeah, go buy the book, lol.)
19 Mutsu: You, the red-haired boy. Mutsu: Are you... Ichimura Tetsunosuke? Tetsu: ..... Mutsu: We're the Kaientai. (Note: Ryouma created the first modern corporation in Japan, the Kameyama Shachu or Kaientai, which was a shipping company and naval force. Ryouma was far-sighted enough to ensure that the Kaientai would work with foreigners to make sure Japan would have a say in international shipping laws. RYOUMA WAS COOL.) Mutsu: We are not affiliated with those rounin, and we have no desire to join in this bloodshed. Mutsu: Please do not interfere or resist. Mutsu: We have only one objective...
20 Mutsu: To completely destroy you. Shaved Head Guy: It's become too quiet outside... Souji: It's someone strong. Shaved Head Guy: Huh? Souji: Someone strong... Souji: Has come. Souji: [Tetsu-kun...]
21 no text, just lots of dudes trying to kill Tetsu.
22 Tetsu: Ah! Kaientai Guy: DIE!!
23 no text, just Tetsu narrowly escaping death.
24 Tetsu: *huff* Tetsu: *huff* Mutsu: ...... That Cute Shinsengumi Guy from A Few Pages Ago: I... Cute Shisnengumi: Ichimura...! Bearded Shinsengumi: Fuck! Where did they come from!? Bearded Shinsengumi: Hamaguchi! Hamaguchi: Yes, sir! Tetsu: [What should I do...!?] Tetsu: [They won't even listen to me!!]
25 Tetsu: [This has to be some kind of mistake...] Tetsu: [These guys are strong - it's taking all I've got just to dodge them!!] Bearded Kaientai: !! Miyata: AHHHHHH!! Tetsu: Miyata-san!? Miyata: Ichimura! It's no use trying to reason with them!! Miyata: Quickly, run to the back where the Fukuchou is!! Miyata: GO!! Me and Hamaguchi will hold them...
26 (note: Miyata gets shot in the head) Tetsu: You bastards... Tetsu: I thought you only wanted to kill me!? Tetsu: Don't hurt anyone else!!
27 Tetsu: Your target is me, and only me! Tetsu: I don't know why you want to kill me, but I don't intend to die!! Mutsu: Very well. Mutsu: We have our reason, but we want to ask yours. Mutsu: We're sure that you will recognise our legitimate claim. Mutsu: And if you choose not to answer, we'll reply by filling you with lead... Mutsu: Why did you kill him?
28 Mutsu: The man you killed... Mutsu: Was the treasure of Japan...!! Tetsu: [The man I killed...?]
29 no text, just Suzu looking creepy with Saitou and the catboy jailbait.
