Very sloppy.

Is that the work

of an expert swordsman?

match over.

"Soji's right.

"Tashiro is really

one notch below Kano.

You two fight.

"That's strange.

"Those two... are lovers.

"No doubt about it.

BEFORE LONG,

RUmOR:

KANO AND TASHlRO ARE LOVERS

They're coming.

The militia is coming.

That's Commander Kondo!

The militia!

Thank you for protecting us.

Thank you.

Sozaburo,

tell Toshi...

Tell the Lieut. Commander

to come see me.

I must go to Choshu.

Or rather Hiroshima.

For battle?

No, to testify against them.

What good will that do?

We have orders to invade them.

All clans must band together,

for financial reasons.

What are you doing there?

Testifying.

Tell me the truth.

Toshi,

I leave you in charge.

Who's leaving with you?

lto, Takeda and Ogata, I think.

lto?

Since his arrival,

he's spread unrest in the ranks.

In your absence,

I shall keep a tidy house.

I've heard

that Soza...

that Kano has taken a lover.

I wouldn't know.

What does it matter?

Are you worried?

No, but this sort of thing

has happened before.

There was a lot of trouble

last year, during lkedaya.

Hearts inflamed by passion.

It must not happen again.

Beautiful.

Are you with the militia?

Yes.

From what school?

Pure Land Buddhist.

No, in swordsmanship?

Swordsmanship?

I'm from the same school

as Okita and Hijikata,

but I'm not very good.

Actually, I'm terrible.

You're not a monk then?

You're with the militia?

That's right.

Please forgive me.

The look on Kondo's face!

Who was with him?

I'm not at liberty to say.

Captain Okita.

Don't call me captain.

How old was he?

About 60, I guess.

Are you joking?

Even Kondo is only about 30.

No one here is that old.

He said he was

from the same school as you.

I've got it. Genzaburo lnoue.

You should kill yourself

for such an affront.

He is our senior member,

but he's 43 or 44.

- You said 60.

- I'm sorry.

Forget it.

It's his own fault - he looks old.

What is his post?

He's captain of the Sixth Unit.

Commander Kondo,

Lieut. Commander Hijikata, old lnoue

and myself are from the same dojo.

and the Tennenrishin school.

Some say we have

a lock on the militia.

That's not our intention.

I understand.

It's true of course.

He's no good with a sword.

When you spar with him, go easy.

THlS ADVlCE PROVED DlFFlCUL TO PUT lNTO PRACTlCE

You're the one

who asked my religion, right?

I inquired about

your swordsmanship training.

I didn't know who you were.

Forgive me.

If you say so.

"Little Religion!"

I don't have time

to coach you now,

but we'll get to it soon.

Thank you.

THEN, ONE DAY...

"Little Religion!"

Ready?

I'll show you.

Call that a samurai?
