:54:00
"Commander Kondo
returned from Hiroshima.
:54:07
"A banquet in his honor
was held that evening.
:54:10
Delicious.
:54:14
Kyoto sake is the best there is.
:54:23
The Choshu clan is feigning loyalty
:54:26
to the emperor and the shogunate.
:54:30
But they've got a secret agenda.
:54:35
They're arming for combat.
:54:40
The shogunate is too weak.
:54:43
They should attack now,
:54:46
smash them, occupy the land,
:54:49
before it's too late.
:54:52
But, Commander Kondo,
:54:55
last year,
:54:58
Choshu served
the isolationist cause,
:55:01
combatting foreign invaders.
:55:06
Every patriot praised their valor.
:55:12
Do you support isolationism?
:55:16
Yes, of course.
:55:18
Then you should be
more tolerant with them.
:55:25
Foreign cannons being,
unfortunately, more effective,
:55:30
in coastal areas,
:55:32
Choshu batteries were wiped out.
:55:37
And you believe
:55:40
the shogunate should eliminate
an already suffering clan?
:55:44
A samurai does not behave that way.
:55:48
A samurai does not behave...
:55:52
You mean that it's beneath him?
:55:55
Exactly.
