No, I can't!
:48:05
It means "seemly. "
:48:09
The lord of our town,
Viscount Matsudaira,
:48:12
penned it to remind
soldiers and students
:48:16
their conduct is always to be seemly.
:48:20
Now that you're in Aizu,
:48:22
you must take this to heart
and act like a man of Aizu.
:48:27
The principaI is right.
:48:30
In Aizu, we have the Aizu spirit.
There is nothing like it in the world.
:48:37
Now that you've been admitted
:48:39
to our great schooI,
:48:42
you must act with Aizu spirit
:48:45
and give up your weak Kansai ways.
:48:50
Thus you will become
a fine Aizu-spirited young man!

Uncle, they sell Aizu crackers
and Aizu cakes at the station,
:49:11
but they sell Aizu spirit here.
:49:13
Aizu spirit?
And how much does that cost?
:49:19
You boys have a new friend
who will be joining you.
:49:25
He is Kiroku Nanbu,
from Bizen, Okayama,
:49:29
where the rice grows bountifully.
:49:31
Does money grow on trees
in Bizen as well, Prof?
:49:35
Don't interrupt me!

An old proverb says,
"Consider the stranger to be a thief. "
:49:44
But I think it's better to say,
"Consider the stranger to be a Buddha. "
:49:50
It's very important
:49:52
to accept someone new
with an open mind.
:49:57
Aizu people
can be pretty closed, after all.
