Jin (JIN - 仁 -)

We think it only natural.

To be able to go half-way around the globe if we decide to.

To be able to express our feelings at any time.

That our ordinary, contented days will just go on and on.

In a world that's forgotten what day and night are.

However...

All of that was given to us.

By all those caught in the battles of history...

Those who struggled in pain...

Who lost their lives...

And those who survived.

Ours is the crystallization of hard won victories.

That's why...

we have to bring still more light.

With...

these hands...

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: Sunday Theater First Episode

The story of love and life beyond time and space finally starts! The

needle of history begins to move again... People can't save only people

１８64 (Genji 1) Summer

Two years have passed since I arrived here.

In Tokyo of 2009,

I was a neurosurgeon who operated on an enigma of a man's brain.

I removed a fetus-like tumor from him.

For some reason, that man tried to run off with

both that tumor specimen and a package of emergency medications.

On the emergency stairwell, that man and I struggled...

For some reason, I time-slipped back to the Edo era.

And there...

My having saved one young man then became the trigger directly leading to

my meeting many other people in Edo while giving them medical treatment.

Both the historical and the great...

Ancestors of those important to me...

And possibly other people, as well.

Those people both saved and supported me...

Oi! Can you stand?

Ow...

Somehow, I'm able to live here as a doctor.

Please wait!

This is in thanks.

However, I had a sudden thought.

Would I be here forever?

From here on, I...

will try and make a future where your tumor can be cured.

Heisei 22 (2010)

I had come up with my own way forward, but...

If that had been an act of God,

I could assume He had some plan for me...

Number 18 is effective!

What I was doing... would it fulfill that plan?

If that plan lies beyond my powers,

would that mean I won't be able to go back?

Will I see... the Meiji era? (1868-1912)

For what reason was I brought here, I wonder?

Jin's Friends Hall

Minakata-sensei.

The retired owner of Matsuda-ya has a severe case

of gout. I'm going to visit him for a little while.

Please take care of him.

Saki-san, I've just returned.

Here.

Saki-san?

Ah, I am much obliged.

Welcome back, Minakata-sensei.

I'm back.

Ah, Fukuta-sensei went on a call earlier.

Jinyū-dō depends upon the income

Fukuta-sensei's medicine brings in, doesn't it?

It's because ordinary people just don't

think, "I'm ill, so I'll go see the doctor."

Not to mention if it involves surgery.

It'd be nicer if they felt more at ease about coming.

Well, it's tough getting people to change.

Especially when it comes to changing the world.

Ah, by the way, Sensei.

Is Saki-san feeling down about something?

I guess she is, isn't she?

Has anything happened, Saki-san?

No.

What am I doing?

Aren't you tired?

You work here at Jinyū-dō, and after that you have the housework.

It is not that.

Please take tomorrow off.

Ah, it's been awhile; why don't you go to your Tachibana home?

I...

abandoned the engagement presents and have given myself up to being here...

Given it's significance...

I think it'd be best if you returned and apologized properly.

Commit suicide!

Go for now. I'll do something about this afterwards.

Um...

In the future...

Is it possible to be able to run away from a betrothal match?

Well, I have heard of weddings having a Dotakyan. box

from "dotanba kyanseru" "last minute cancellation"

Do... Dotakyan?

My conduct...

was something like a Dotakyan?

Ah... Ah... Yes, well...

In the future,

will this "Dotakyan" still be difficult for family members to forgive?

Well, it depends upon the case.

My marriage parter was from a higher rank

Shogunate vassal family than the Tachibana's,

with the implication that he far outranks my brother.

How would it be in that case?

Well, that would make it a bit unpleasant...

Yeah, unpleasant.

If it is such a circumstance, then please forget all about this matter.

Ah...

Kyōtō

Sanjo-gawara (a section in Kyōtō)

It's the Jyūi-ha again. box anti-foreigner faction

Chōshū, huh...

This is bad. More trouble... Sakuma Shōzan has been killed

Fried dough cakes! Get your fried dough cakes!

One fried dough cake, please!

One fried dough cake, please!

One fried dough cake, please!

Sure thing! Fried Dough Cake

And? That's what she's worried over?

Saki-san told me to forget about it, but...

At this rate, it'll just keep on bothering her.

That's no good, Sensei.

Tell her, "Saki-sama, accept it," properly.

Eh? There's a rumor going 'round.

That the daughter of a samurai family has run away from home

and is living as a slut with a man under the same roof.

Is that right?!

Kyōtarō-sama has had a Sashika as well.

Sashika?

It means he won't get calls from the castle.

But if after some time...

He'll be passed over and stay as he is his entire life.

Seems that affair has pulled him down.

I think the person whose betrothal presents

were rejected reported it to his superiors.

You didn't know that, Sensei?

Minakata-sensei!

I knew nothing about all the troubles I've been giving you...

Sensei, you have no reason to apologize.

So long, Tachibana-sama.

Um...

Is Ei-san not feeling well?

It appears to be beriberi.

Beriberi?

You did not hear about it from Saki?

Did Saki-san come here?

About ten days ago, Saki suddenly appeared, wanting to have a talk.

Brother, for her future life,

please allow me one look at Mother.

That would be impossible.

In that case, Minakata-sensei...

No, please find another doctor for her.

Please just ask her to accept an examination.

I will not see her.

Mother...

you're being quite obstinate about this.

That is for Saki...

Never again...

I can never again return here.

I am ashamed.

I should have conducted myself much better.

I am the one who did wrong.

Mother will not even allow her to cross the threshold.

Saki has been turned away.

Saki-san didn't say one word of this...

She has been abandoned by our family.

It would be impossible for her to even whisper it.

Well then.

Kyōtarō-san, please wait.

Would you allow me to examine Ei-san?

Still, will my mother meet you...?

Please allow me to.

In those days, what we know as Beriberi was then called the "Edo Sickness."

It was a very common disease.

The cause is a deficiency of Vitamin B1,

due to the people of Edo eating nothing but white rice.

The source of the disease was the nutritionally poor side dishes they had.

For a long time it was an epidemic of unknown cause,

lasting well into the Meiji era.

It was a disease which continued to claim huge numbers of casualties.

The symptoms were first a numbness in the hands and feet,

which made it difficult to stand

and led to a tendency to fall.

The peripheral nerves became paralyzed

and, as it progressed, it would express itself in a shortness of breath.

The pulse also quickens.

In the worst case, beriberi induced heart failure.

In other words, death due to heart failure.

In this era,

beriberi was a fatal disease.

Come in.

I haven't contacted you...

in a long time.

Mother!

You are...

a person like this defensive sword.

At the same time as it can be used to protect one's self,
