- This is... - A star!
They were going to burn the shrines in the shape of a star from the beginning.
It was you, after all...
The masked man who killed
the Shinsengumi!
(Episode 12 Shine on! Shinsengumi of Criminals)
Pow!
Wherever you *s gotta pop up, just come at me!
Huh?
Retreat!
The fire was set here!
Head to the headquarter!
What's going on?
Eh?
It lit up.
Are you okay?
Oh?
This is...
Todo said that it contained the soul of the real Okita Soji.
This sword shines for Type Soul weapons...
In any case,
it's a battle beyond human comprehension.
While the Choshu army has retreated...
Why are my and Sogen's swords shining?
Ah! Oh! No way!
Suzuran?
I can only see a beam.
Can you see anything else, Suzuran?
Hundreds of beams... No, thousands of beams!
A massive amount of souls gathering around the light!
Let's head there too!
Okay!
Aren't you fools?
Who is the Onmyoji summoned me from the underworld?
Tsukito... what are you talking about?
That's not your brother.
It's that monster that was speaking.
Hmm, it turns out that the one called me is yonder.
Brother, run!
Tsukito!?
In this body,
my consciousness and Lord Haruakira's
are still mingling.
Lord Tsuchimikado raised the discarded me up for a noble purpose.
I didn't expect that the purpose is to be a spirit receptacle for Abeno Haruakira's...
resurrection...
Everything makes sense now...
The flame pentagram drawn in Kyoto is
a ceremony to revive an Onmyoji died 1000 years ago.
I don't care if it's Haruakira or Haruurara...
Give Tsukito back!
Ridiculous.
Stupid Boshi!
Damn.
No one can go against destiny.
All you need is the readiness to accept your fate.
Haruakira...
I'll send you back to the underworld once again!
Useless.
Don't futilely hasten your death.
Obediently let the illness devour your body,
and die.
That's your destiny.
My destiny...
Sakuya!
That's not an easy enemy.
It's impossible to take your brother back now...
That's not what we mortals could rival.
What are even you saying?
Just accept it.
That's the fate she said,
destiny!
I don't care about what destiny is!
The way has already been decided!
Then I will distort it.
I decide the path I walk.
If it's no use, I'll smash it and force a bypath!
Maybe your stupidity is contagious.
I also start to feel like we can do it.
Let's go!
All right.
When I need Abeno Haruakira's power,
I was able to obtain a spirit receptacle with better qualities than me.
That's a gift from destiny.
The reason why you gathered souls
is also to revive that monster...
The only miscalculation is that
the Shinsengumi's swords are possessed by the souls of the executives and
they posed so much trouble.
You set the city on fire and killed innocent people
out of your blind faith!
I just devoted all of myself
to my country as an Onmyoji.
After all, isn't it for your selfish desires?
That's also destiny.
Stop joking!
There's not even a fragment of sincerity in your words!
Hold on!
Push back!
Push, push, push!
Get the emperor in our hands!
Maki! Is Maki Izumi here!?
Kogoro, why are you interfering with Choshu?
Our strength has been fully demonstrated!
It's enough! Retreat the army!
Have you forgotten the coup of August 18th?
Let's settle the long-standing grudge now!
Even at the cost of burning Kyoto down? you idiot!
Shut up! Justice sides with us!
The Kinmon is...
The Hamaguri Gomon Gate is breached!
Rush in!
Ignorant...
Now it's not an occasion for human fellows to fight against each other...
What's up?
Seems I got hurt just now.
Can you still hold the sword?
I can manage it...
I guess no matter how I try to talk you out of this,
you won't listen to me, right?
In this way, I won't drop my sword.
But is it fine...?
Until now, I've been following the teachings of assassination, continuously killing people,
and earnestly counting the number of people I've killed.
But even after 1,000 people killed,
the world I could see didn't change at all.
From now on, I will count the number of people I help.
Just like you said.
Then, I'm the first. The one helped by you.
Yes.
Guys, why are you here?
Because of the sword.
They just keep shining.
We came here following the direction in which they shine brighter and brighter.
Maybe, in the same way as how those souls gathered here...
What's that!?
There's a human inside. That is...
Rashomaru!
Hey!
Ichibanboshi!
Are you okay?
Be careful.
That's Abeno Haruakira revived by
the pentagram ritual.
Haruakira?
Let's stop that thing!
Though I don't understand...
It seems we have no choice but to do it.
Oh, those brightly shining annoying fireflies showed up again?
Tsukito...
Kondo, Hijikata...
To revenge for the Shinsengumi,
I'll end you!
Even if I am going to be defeated...
The substitutes will take revenge in your place. Are you going to say that?
Unfortunately that wish won't come true.
The stars have already lit up.
I will put you to rout.
Power beyond the scope of science...
It's indeed an interesting research subject.
If we could survive this, do whatever you want then.
The stars are filling my body.
Its body is...
Regenerating?
We have to defeat that thing quickly!
It's useless. Lord Haruakira is the weapon to confront foreign countries.
Don't disturb, Tsukito!
Just disappear into the other world!
Don't fight it!
Tsukito has been the spirit receptacle...
We have to kill him to stop Abeno Haruakira...
What are you saying?
Let's knock it down and save Tsukito!
Guys, please support me!
Roger!
Let me take the lead!
Ouch.
Itchy, itchy.
Even if it doesn't work on that strange body,
it works on a physical entity.
Akira!
Suzuran!
How about a bit of electricity?
Wow!
Tsukito... I'll save you now!
Now!
We're winning!
Take this!
It's the end!
Damn substitutes...
I'll help you out.
Brother, I...
wanted, wanted to become stronger...
Because of my weakness...
Dad and Mom died.
If I don't become strong, everything matters will be robbed away.
Just like Lord Tsuchimikado said...
I thought it's the same for this country.
But...
Lord Haruakira.
I'm going there right now too...
No way! Have you gone mad, Tsuchimikado!?
Todo Heisuke, see you next time.
Next time?
That's destiny
ordained for us.
The monster became an Onmyoji!
Is this what Abeno Haruakira looks like originally?
(Aizu)
Fire!
We can't hold it anymore.
Go to hell...
What are you doing?
Don't disturb, Tsukito!
I finally understood when I got the power of Lord Haruakira.
This is not the real strength.
Tsukito...
Brother, I'm going to where Dad and Mom are.
Kill your mom will this sword.
Then you can be saved.
Mom...
Haruakira, Tsuchimikado!
This is the strength that goes beyond fate!!!
Stop! Stop it!
Tsukito!
Fire!
Oh?
Eh?
This is...
What's it?
No good.
What happened?
It's no good! All the swords and the guns!
Unable to ignite Type Soul weapons!
Is this the end?
Tsukito...
Mom...
to save me, she committed...
I know...
Have I got as strong... as Mom and Dad...?
Yes, you have! You are so strong!
Stronger than anyone, everyone...
Todo.
It's all finished.
This is...
It's the thing that once was Tsuchimikado.
It has to be reported to the court as soon as possible.

Dad, Mom, Tsukito...
This shitty world has changed for a little bit.
Right?
Kondo, Hijikata and the others.
The substitutes have done their job wonderfully.
They protected Kyoto and the people.
Hi.
Huh?
What have you been reading?
I'm wondering if it's possible to develop
a new weapon that surpasses Abeno Haruakira...
Em... Sogen, aren't crazier than Tsuchimikado?
But...
it seems to be impossible.
The Choshu now is completely the enemy of the court.
The emperor seems to have issued a formal conquest order to the Bakufu.
How about you then?
Lie low for a while.
Rather than that, I'll be more willing to ask about the answer to my proposal.
T-that is...
I sometimes do feel that I should
consider it positively but sometimes I don't...
What an ambiguous reply.
There's also something that's better to not make it completely clear!
It's a waste of your talent to be in the Shinsengumi.
Do you want to become a carpenter?
Nope. I'm the leader of the 10th Squad now.
Wow!
White rice!
Brother Gyata, you are so generous!
Yes! Just enjoy it, you all!
Thank you.
Wow!
I am thinking of teaching orphans at this temple school.
Oh, that's good for you!
I believe that learning is
the shortest way out of poverty.
I will pay a visit there too sometime.
At that time, teach me how to write "Kondo Isami".
I just can't remember how to write them...
Yes! My pleasure.
The substitutes may have accomplished what the real Shinsengumi
couldn't do.
I would like to watch over the future of our country
and their sincerity a little more.
Now that Choshu has withdrawn,
I am worried about the movements of Satsuma and Tosa domains.
Sakamoto Ryoma from Tosa
seems to be in contact with Saigo Takamori from Satsuma.
Um.
I think it would be better to make patrols
in the city more strict than ever.
If so, we still have to rely on Shinsengumi...
(Shinsengumi Headquarter)
Is everyone here?
Commander is not here yet.
Sorry, sorry.
So late!
If you don't come first, it won't start.
Commander, please give us the order.
Though I've grown tired of hearing it.
Alright, everyone, let's go!
Smash it!
Roger!
