:46:00
The townspeople called him
Potato Gen.
:46:04
The kids from the next village
:46:07
would swim across the river.
They'd steal potatoes from him.
:46:12
When he died,
:46:14
they attended his funeral,
covered by huge leaves.
:46:20
People thought they were
river sprites.
:46:23
I didn't.
:46:26
Why not?
:46:27
Because among them,
:46:29
among all these kids,
I recognized Hijikata.
:46:37
It's me, Soji.
:46:45
Why are you dressed like that?
:46:47
It's not my choice.
It's your fault.
:46:53
my fault?
:46:55
Capt. lnoue.
You pushed him to desperate lengths.
:46:59
Desperate?
:47:01
Yes. He's left with Sozaburo Kano,
for the Ogawa lnn,
:47:05
where the Higo men gather.
:47:09
He's ready to die.
:47:12
He hasn't got a chance.
:47:14
You know him.
He wanted to make up for his error.
:47:19
That idiot!
:47:20
Send him reinforcements,
immediately.
:47:23
I'll be along with other troops.
:47:28
When fighting indoors,
choke up on your sword.
:47:32
What do you mean?
:47:34
Both hands up near the guard.
:47:37
Never aim for the head.
:47:38
You might hit a ceiling
or bust a doorframe.
:47:42
- You've done that?
- Like this.
:47:44
Near the guard?
:47:46
Wait for the right moment to attack.
:47:49
If you miss,
back up and come again.
:47:53
Of course,
it's easier said than done.
