Suzu: Look, sensei. Suzu: The Shinsengumi headquarters looks like a beehive that's been shaken up. Suzu: Doesn't it? Suzu: How does it make you feel? Saitou: ......
2 Suzu: Even if the outcome is the same, it's all that's lead up to it that makes it special... the feeling is completely different, isn't it? Suzu: It feels good to be the antagonist... Suzu: Don't you think so, too? Suzu: It must be true, or you'd be with the Shinsengumi now... Suzu: You've betrayed alllll of your little friends~ Suzu: Doesn't it feel wonderful to watch from up here? Tetsu: [It's okay!] Tetsu: [Just forget the bad stuff and live without regrets!]
3 All that Disjointed Background Text: [Maybe... you're some kind of ghost... it looks like... they'll be friends again... they're dead... Toudou will come back... did I kill him?... I don't know!... listen to me... the way we were five years ago... tomorrow... what we were just talking about... tomorrow, Itou... there's nothing I can do...] (note: Yeah, none of that makes sense to me either. Saitou's inner thoughts are kind of creepy.) Saitou: [You...] Tetsu: [Just try to smile and believe that things will get better!] Suzu: So? Suzu: How does it feel?
4 Thug: DIE!! Kikuchi: Uwaaah!! Shinpachi: Kikuchi! Shinpachi: Get down!! Thug: !?
5 Kikuchi: Nagakura-taichou!! Shinpachi: ...Shit. Shinpachi: You're the only one left... come on, let's go! Kikuchi: Y... yes, sir!
6 Kikuchi: Ugh... Shinsengumi Guy: !! Kikuchi! Shinsengumi Guy: Are you alright!? Sano: Shit, what's going on... Sano: Is the base on fire? Shinsengumi Guy: If it is, we can't go back there tonight. Shinpachi: But we can't stay here at Aburakouji either. Shinpachi: Somebody go on the roof and look for a clear way out. Sano: Hey, you've got to be kidding, Shinpattsan! Sano: This run-down place is completely surrounded. Sano: Won't it be easier just to kill anybody who tries to get in? Shinpachi: You're the one who's joking, Sano. Shinpachi: We don't have enough men to hold out until morning. Shinpachi: Those guys want us dead.
7 Shinpachi: If we escape down a narrow, winding street, I think we can lose them. Shinpachi: Sano, make us an opening. Shinpachi: I'll bring up the rear. Sano: Hey... Shinpachi... Wounded Guy: Taichou!! Wounded Guy: I'm sorry, but I object! Wounded Guy: Running away is against the honor of the samurai!! Wounded Guy: We're soldiers who would give our lives to defend you! Wounded Guy: I'll stay here and fight! Wounded Guy: I am prepared to die!!
8 Wounded Guy: !!? *gets punched in the face* Wouned Guy: What!? Other Shinsengumi: Nagakura-taichou!? Shinpachi: "Honor" and "rules" are part of the Shinsengumi! Shinpachi: But if we die, the Shinsengumi dies too!! Shinpachi: Rules aren't worth killing yourselves over!! Shinpachi: Living to protect the Shinsengumi is more important than samurai pride!! Shinpachi: Don't give your Kyokuchou and Fukuchou one more person to mourn!!
9 Wounded Guy: Taichou... Dumb Looking Shinsengumi: Nagakura-sensei... Shinpachi: I don't want to see... Shinpachi: A single one of you die.
10 Sano: ...They'll be calling for us soon. Shinpachi: Yeah. Sano: Well this is gonna be fun. Just promise me... Sano: That you'll find some way to live.
11 Balding Thug: How's this? How about we have some fun inside? Scarface Thug: Why not? The guys outside sure are! Scarface Thug: I think we oughta kill all of those Aizu bastards. Scarface Thug: Let's start with the sick and wounded ones. Scarface Thug: Ah... Scarface Thug: I found something for us to play with.
12 Souji: *lots of coughing* Scarface Thug: Ooh, you poor thing, that looks like it must hurt! Scarface Thug: But we'll make you feel allllll better~~!!
13 Souji: ...Filthy. Souji: Filthy. Souji: Filthy... Souji: ......
14 no text, but Souji is insane and killing everything.
15 SFX: *sticky footsteps* Thugs: Aiiiieee!! He's coming!! Thugs: That must be Okita Souji!! Thugs: You... you're supposed to be dead!!
16 Souji: *lots of coughing*
17 Thug: He... Thug: He... Thug: He's a ghost!! Thug: Run!! SFX: *some ninjaesque noise, I guess, as Susumu knifes some guys in the head*
18 Susumu: Okita-san. Souji: ...... Susumu: Okita-san. Souji: ...... Susumu: You can't go.
19 Souji: ...Please let me go. Susumu: You can't go. Please return to your room. Souji: Please let me go. Susumu: What do you think you can do with that body? Souji: ...... Souji: Please let me go. Souji: Let me go! Souji: Let me go...!!
20 (note: Susumu stabs psycho!Souji in the neck to knock him out.) Susumu: ...You ought to know your own limits. Susumu: If you can live even one more day... Susumu: I will force you to keep breathing...!
21 Sano: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Sano: Alright, it's clear, now let these chickens out of the coop!!! That Dorky Guy from Itou's Group: Wow!! Dorky Guy: Amazing!! He's amazing!!
22 Dorky Guy: He's breaking through the third point easily!! Dorky Guy: Eight, no, nine!! That Underaged Boy from Itou's Group: ...More like six. Man in Black: Well, whatever. Man in Black: We're just here to watch. Underaged Boy: That short guy is bringing up the rear, right? Man in Black: ....The rear guard... Underaged Boy: ?
23 Man in Black: The rear guard. Man in Black: That's the rear guard...?
24 (note: Toudou comes out from the shadows behind Shinpachi, but Shinpachi notices him) SFX: *creak* SFX: *drip*
25 (note: Toudou draws his sword.) SFX: *grab* SFX: *swish*
26 (note: Toudou and Shinpachi face eachother.) no text
27 (note: Toudou swings at shinpachi, who doesn't move. Toudou intentionally misses and sticks his sword in the wall next to Shinpachi's head.) Toudou: ......
28 Toudou: I can't do it, Shinpattsan. Toudou: It's stuck. Toudou: So am I dead now? Shinpachi: ...I dunno, are you dead? Toudou: Ah, you haven't changed. Toudou: Always going easy on me. That's my Shinpattsan. Toudou: I guess you killed these guys, huh? Shinpachi: ......
29 Shinpachi: This isn't an attack. Shinpachi: I'm here alone. Toudou: ...Oh. Toudou: But I don't mind if you kill me. Toudou: Well... Toudou: Sano and the rest got out. Toudou: But they're surrounded now. Everything's all gone to hell. Shinpachi: ......! Toudou: I wish I had never left you and Sano. Toudou: When I joined the Goryoueji, I thought I could separate myself from you. Toudou: ...I never thought I see you like this. Toudou: You should go. It's dangerous. Toudou: Come on, I know a safe way out. Shinpachi: ....Hey.
30 Shinpachi: You knew all about this damned plot, and you didn't say a thing? Shinpachi: You think I'm going to believe a word you say? Toudou: ...... Toudou: Whatever. Toudou: Do whatever you want, Shinpattsan.
