:47:03
I requested an officiaI dismissaI
from your schooI.
:47:08
Otherwise,
you could've been in trouble.
:47:11
Anyway, what's done is done.
:47:16
If you want to be a man,
there's no place like Aizu,
:47:19
where you can face
Mount Bandai every day.
:47:23
The people of Aizu
are a hardy bunch,
:47:26
with the blood
of the White Tiger troops in them.
:47:31
You may fit in here just fine.
:47:34
Sorry to upset you, Father.
:47:37
What are you talking about?
:47:40
Cheer up!
:47:51
No fancy dressing in this schooI
like in Okayama. Got that?
:47:59
Can you read this here?
:48:03
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!
