Jin (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Dai ni wa - full transcript
Having noticed a slight change in the photo of his fiancé and him, Jin wonders if saving Ryoma has altered the future. He decides to try to stay out of events in the village to prevent anymore changes. However, as cholera sweeps the village, the medicine men call upon Jin to give them the cure. He tells them that he does not know. As hard as he tries to stay neutral, Jin's decision is challenged when Kiichi, the son of the woman he saved, becomes ill. Saki confronts him, as he asks her to return to her home. However, his fondness for the boy, changes his mind. He begins to educate the village and treat the ill. Saki, unable to stay away, goes to the Western medicine office to ask Koan and the others for their help. With distrust, since that morning Jin told them that he knew of no cure, they arrive at the quarantined home with disbelief. He tells them the cure, which seems too easy and contrary to the western medical book Koan had translated. For them to believe him, Jin is asked as to where he has acquired his knowledge. He cannot say, so they begin to walk away. Yet, as Saki runs after them, one of them becomes ill. Koan decide to believe in Jin.
Sakamoto...
...Ryoma?
"I must go back..."
"...to that world."
That patient...
Are you really that Sakamoto Ryoma?
I don't know what you mean by "that",
but I am the Sakamoto of Tosa.
Um...
Do you have an older sister,
a lady who could be considered "manly"?
Hey you...
How do ya know 'bout her?
Well...
Would you be a Tosa man, too?!
Well...
Huh?
Ah, a dream.
I saw it in a dream.
I heard your voice saying
you were coming to Edo.
A dream?
But...
I think it was a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
Sensei!
What's yer name?
That's a part of the connection, too. Right?
I'm Minakata Jin.
Minakata-sensei...
The Korori again? (cholera)

Kouan-dono's notes on the cure for Korori,
Western Medicine Office - Supervisor
Itou Genboku
"On the Cure for Korori,"
have received an additional printing
and have been distributed
to all the Edo Dutch Medical offices.
Regrettably, we see no way to send you
to each of the places for medical treatment.
"That doctor,"
"In my experience, he was able
to do things I have never seen done before."
I'm certain he's that Ryoma.
He was assassinated...
If that man then was Sakamoto Ryoma,
then instead of being assassinated,
he time-slipped to 2009.
Then I somehow switched with him
and ended up here instead.
Then am I Sakamoto Ryoma?
But Sakamoto Ryoma is here.
No matter how I think about it,
I can't get back...
The current Shogunate is a coward!
He can't do anything more than
make a show of expelling the barbarians!
Wouldn't you say he's just wagging his tail...
since he's so eager to learn
from foreign countries?!
He needs Divine Punishment!
Divine Punishment!
Yes! Divine Punishment!
The man from Tosa, Sakamoto-dono.
You've had a troubled look on your face
ever since you got here.
My honored teachers here,
Ya all say, "Protect this,
I'll protect this" country,
but just how do ya plan to
go about protecting it?
As always, with the sword.
Before ya drew yer swords,
Ya'll be shot down by cannon
from a ship and it'll be all over.
"Divine punishment" ya say?
With weak methods like that,
they'll just cut ya down, one ta another.
So how many years do ya think it'll take?
No matter how ya look at it,
I don't think it'll turn out well.
Bastard! You're ridiculing us.
Sakamoto-kun.
There is some truth to your opinion.
However,
I think Divine Punishment
could be effective in this case.
An army that loses its commander
will self-destruct.
Our target this time should be
the Battleship Magistrate Officer,
Katsu Rintaro.
One person who should go is Inaba-kun.
The other person should be...
- Me!
- I'll go!
But you were just saying
that Divine Punishment was useless...
Changed my mind.
I should be the one ta go.
Selling them women...
...it's the same as you selling out
your country, you traitor!
Help me!
Prepare yourself!
Oi! Honored teachers, this is a bad idea!
Just now,
I saw a police agent patrolling.
They call me the Tosa Dappon (lordless samurai),
Sakamoto.
Dappon?!
- You're that one.
- One and the same.
If ya start something here,
it'll turn out badly!
We're obliged. Oi!
That just now...
...was just talk.
I'm embarrassed to say this,
"Yoshiwara - Suzuya"
but this is my store.
Whaa, such a place...
First time here?
Ah, yeah...
Please tell me how I may repay you.
Please allow us to soothe your worries away.
What kind of prostitute would you like?
Me?
Well...
Good morning, Sensei.
Good morning.
Shh!
Is something the matter, Saki-san?
Um... By "sterilization,"
should I understand that to mean
you boil something, or soak it in alcohol?
That's technically correct,
but I'd say the results of those actions
are effectively the same.
It destroys poisons.
Well then, you are saying there were poisons
on both the cloth and the hammer?
By poison I mean...
...tiny creatures that aren't visible to us
who live on the surface of things.
Things called bacteria can cling to them.
"Bacteria" things...
Why are you asking about this?
So I can be your assistant.
When a Sensei's knowledge
is spread among many people,
it will be possible for
more and more people to be cured.
If I can be your assistant
for even a little while...
When boiled or put into alcohol,
why does the bacteria die?
Sensei?
Well, I can't remember anything
more than that.
Saki...
What are you doing?
Nothing at all.
I'll go make the
morning preparations right away.
Minakata-sama.
Yes.
If Saki has been an obstruction in
your path of medicine,
I would like to ask for your pardon.
Saki is...
...quite an ordinary daughter.
I wish only for her to live happily.
Of course.
I have no such intentions whatsoever.
Then everything is all right.
Well then, excuse me.
Well then, one more thing.
How about shaving your head?
Huh?
When you say you are a doctor...
...you should wear your hair closely cropped
and knotted in the back.
Wearing it in that manner,
people will notice the length of
your honorable hair.
I do hope you will shave it.
Well, this...
This is just a suggestion.
With your head the way it is,
you will only be seen as a rogue.
As it turns out...
Kyoutaro is having his hair done as we speak.
Ah...
Let's see...
Let me think about it.
Next time for sure.
"They say that..."
"...the flapping of a butterfly's wings"
"can cause a typhoon
on the other side of the world."
"Ah."
"The Butterfly Effect."
"That's it."
"Miyako Higashi University Hospital"
"Destiny might be like that, too."
"If A-san doesn't kick a stone,"
"then maybe B-san wouldn't
come down with an illness."
"Where did all this come from?"
"It seems..."
"I have a tumor in my brain."
"If I were to continue practicing medicine here,"
"I could end up changing history."
"Letting someone live who should have died,"
"is changing that person's destiny."
"And, if they should live,"
"it could be they might murder someone
who was supposed to live."
"Even just my walking around"
"might be changing someone else's destiny."
"I..."
"may be altering the reality of
this place even now."
"Not doing that..."
"...is the least I can do..."
Oi, there's trouble!
What's the matter?
The Korori is back in the country.
Korori again?
I heard about it when I went to Asakusa.
"Holding my breath,"
"I should live as inconspicuously as possible."
"Someday..."
"I will return..."
"Until that day..."
"That's right, isn't it, Miki."
Korori! It's Korori!
Korori!
"Korori Danger"
('Korori' is made up of kanji characters that read:
"Wild Beast of Diarrhea" thus the tiger figure shown here)
Heiwa Fansubs Presents:
Jin
Episode 2: "The Tragedy of Saving Lives"
"Yushima - Tachibana Home"
Ogata...
Kouan-sensei?
Is he a famous doctor?
Ogata-sensei opened a Dutch Medical school
named Tekijuku in Osaka.
He has over 400 followers.
Moreover, for the precautionary
measures against smallpox,
not only was he the one who
established vaccinations,
but he is the only doctor of Western medicine
who can enter the Ooku
and treat the Shogun himself...
Please stop.
There is no one who
studies Dutch Medicine in Edo
who does not know this, Sensei,
so that was a strange question.
Is this person truly reliable?
Minakata-sensei has lost
a portion of his memory due to an accident.
You have no memories?
But,
from what I've seen,
he hasn't forgotten his medical skills.
He has splendid handiwork...
Please stop.
You are the only one out of a hundred
who has seen it.
Did you not hear me when
I asked you to stop?
That was unseemly.
What is your business in coming to our home?
I have come to ask if you
have a cure for Korori.
Cholera?!
Ah, no...
Korori, is it?
This summer, when measles was prevalent,
thousands of people in Edo
came down with the illness.
This time it's Korori,
and if it goes on like this,
the city of Edo will become a city of death.
This man has told me...
that our Sensei here...
has learned of medicines
that have never been seen before.
Therefore, somehow,
we would ask that you teach us
how to cure the Korori.
Um...
I will ask you as well.
I lost my father to Korori four years ago.
Putting it another way,
Korori was my father's enemy.
Sensei, I would request that you loan us
your power in overcoming Korori.
Please stop.
Um...
Um...
I...
...don't know anything about Korori.
You don't know.
Weren't you around four years ago?
If I remember,
more than 100,000 people
died here in Edo alone.
Ah, no...
When I say I don't know...
It's just I have no recollection of it...
It does not matter what it is.
Whatever you do remember
of the cure that will save us,
will you teach us?
For the country's sake...
For the city's sake...
Please...
...instruct us.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing there?
Mother.
They were saying that Korori...
...has come around again.
Even if that may be so,
you must not make the mistake
of interfering too much.
Yes.
"To Destroy Korori"
Does killing a person weigh on your mind?
It's a heavy thing.
He's the crafty villain
who could sell over the winner Ninomoto, isn't he?
I'll go.
It's fer the country's sake.
You're not here, Formalin-kun.
Jin-sensei!
Jin-sensei!
Kiichi.
Here, your edamame.
Whoa.
Thank you.
How come you didn't make
your house call today?
Ah...
How's your mother's injury doing?
Does she seem dizzy or wobbly?
Nope.
Then she should be okay.
I didn't come to talk about that.
Come over for a little while.
Huh?
Okay?
Hey, come on over.
We have the famous Kurogame here.
Get your Kurogame here.
Ah, Sir, won't you have some today?
Is it okay for you to be out?
Because of the Korori outbreak,
Mother has gone to visit the shrine.
Is that right?
For the Korori?
Yes.
What's the matter?
If you get too close,
people will think we're walking together.
Huh?
If the princess of a samurai family is seen
walking with a man, it's not good.
Ah, so that's it.
They say Sensei's strange,
but you're strange in the head, too.
What's that?
Coffins.
Sensei...
...how do you cure the Korori?
I don't know that, either.
Sensei, this is an inkstone case.
It's not a great one though.
It was a keepsake of my father's.
You shouldn't say such things.
Such an important thing...
If Sensei would use it,
I think my late husband would be happy, too.
Well then,
I will treat it with great care.
Tae-san,
the water-man's come.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me a moment.
Sensei,
what do you think of my mother?
Huh?
She's a beauty, isn't she?
Kiichi!
What's the matter, Kiichi?!
Sensei, Kiichi is...
It's... Korori, is it not?
Korori?
Korori...
The Korori's come!
Korori!
It's Korori!
Kiichi!
Sensei, what should I do?
Sensei!
I'm very sorry.
I don't know how to cure it.
For this disease...
I have no cure.
Let's go back, Saki-san.
Saki-san!
Four years ago,
my father caught the Korori, too.
My father passed away,
but I am the one who survived.
I am not supposed to
turn my back on a request.
Please stop that, Saki-san.
Doing that will just spread it around.
Please stop!
Contagious...
This is a contagious disease, is it not?
Why did you behave as if you didn't know?
It's not something you're supposed to know.
There are some lines which
just shouldn't be crossed.
If I were to help someone...
Just what sort of reason is there...
...that a doctor shouldn't help someone?!
If there is any reason why you would let
an innocent child die without helping him,
then what is it?!
Korori is...
...a disease caused by a bacteria
known as the cholera bacterium.
When the cholera bacterium enters the body,
it causes diarrhea and vomiting,
making the person lose necessary fluids.
That results in the person's death.
Cholera has come!
Cholera lives in raw water and raw foods.
They can be in the patient's stool or vomit.
It enters the body through the mouth.
Therefore, the important thing is
to quarantine the patient
so as not to spread the bacteria.
Also,
you must never, ever put unboiled water
or uncooked food into your mouth.
It is essential they be put over a fire
before ingesting.
After that,
anything that has been tainted
must be thoroughly sterilized!
This cholera bacteria thing is the bad one?
Yes, yes!
Then we can beat this thing?
That's right.
Even if you are watching over someone
who has it, there is no need to be afraid.
Every one of you can help in the prevention...
Cholera...
Let's dedicate ourselves to beating cholera!
Let's beat this cholera quickly!
If we all join forces, we can do this!
That's right! That's true!
Everyone, please work together!
Let's work together.
Then first thing...
we should quarantine Kiichi-chan...
and then sterilize ourselves and the room, right?
That's right.
Who here has distilled alcohol?
I do!
In my home.
If you would please.
It should be as thickly concentrated as possible.
Sure!
After that,
is there anyone here who keeps lime?
Lime?
Quicklime?
I've got that.
If you would please!
We've finished the sterilization.
Then it's best if you leave.
When you do leave,
please change your kimonos again.
Once you have changed,
please burn those kimonos right away.
Then bury the ashes in the earth.
Yes.
Saki-san, you should leave, too.
I'm staying here.
Fire...
The flint sticks are here.
Thank you very much.
I will do it.
Sensei,
everyone brought you salt and sugar.
Thank you very much.
What do you intend to do with them?
When you dissolve the salt and sugar
into water, you can make a liquid called ORS.
Ooaruesu?
It is the medicine that can save Kiichi.
He will recover with just salt and sugar?
With this, we can replenish the
water and minerals he loses
due to the diarrhea and vomiting.
In what manner should the
salt and sugar be made...
Saki-san,
I asked you to get out.
I will light the fire for you first...
If you were lost to cholera as your father was...
Please give a little consideration to
your mother's feelings.
A fire, please.
Yes. I will start a fire.
So I've made a sports drink, huh...
"1 part water, 10 parts sugar, 2 parts salt"
"Four Years Ago"
"Kyoutaro, Saki,"
"I'm counting on you."
"Father! Father!"
Weren't you with Minakata-sensei?
It's best not to tell Mother; keep it hidden.
He told me to leave.
Because Korori is contagious.
Korori?
Sensei is in a row house in Honjo right now,
treating someone for Korori.
But,
Sensei doesn't know the cure for it.
It seems he had some circumstances.
Well then,
the least we can do is pray for each of them.
My prayers...
...did not reach him.
Father...
...became skin and bones...
He did not have to die!!
Where are you going?
I am going to fight the Korori.
I am vexed!
Because there are people fighting the Korori,
but all I do is say prayers here.
I must do this...
You will be disinherited.
Father,
who would lift up an injured child
as though he were his own child,
would not have wanted us to be people like this.
If Father had lived,
would he not have done this as well?
If you go, this is the end!
You will never cross
this family's threshold again.
I...
...will go and fight in the place
of my dead father!
Protecting the family...
...is not only a matter of shutting oneself off...
for the safety of our bodies.
Learning the arts that will defeat the Korori...
Isn't that the true nature of protecting a family?
You have a sly way of speaking.
Mother...
...my Haori and Hakama.
(half-coat and split, formal skirt)
While my younger sister goes out
to put her life on the line,
I, as her older brother,
cannot stand by watching quietly.
I'll change it.
"Do Not Enter"
How much salt and sugar is needed?
For every measure of water,
there should be 2 parts salt and 10 parts sugar.
Sensei, it's ready!
Thank you very much.
Leave it there, please.
Um, what is Kiichi's condition?
Making more ORS is necessary to help save Kiichi.
That's what you should be thinking about.
I understand.
Sensei!
Excuse me, anyone?
Western Medicine Office
Is there anyone here?
Is there something the matter?
Ogata-sensei!
Could you go and speak to
Minakata-sensei once more?
Sensei is treating the Korori
by himself right now!
Somehow,
can I please ask for your assistance?!
Didn't your so-called doctor Minakata
say he didn't know anything
about the Korori just this morning?
There were...
...unusual circumstances.
Please call a palanquin for me.
Ogata-sensei!
If there is the possibility of saving even one,
then a person who aspires to medicine should go.
Thank you very much!
That's it.
You're doing great, Kiichi.
Oi!
Katsu passes by here.
On the day he attends the castle,
he'll definitely pass by here on his way home.
When cutting Katsu,
aim for the neck.
He comes!
Katsu-sensei!
Katsu Rintaro,
Divine Punishment!
You...
Oh!
Sorry! My eyes are getting bad these days.
You okay?
Hurry and cut him!
Oh! Katsu!
Prepare...
Sorry 'bout that...
When I get nervous, I fart...
Hey!
You did all this on purpose, didn't you?
It's a misunderstanding!
Resolve yourself, you traitor!
What is it?
What's that?
You were farting, too!
Ala!
Along with the fart, some juice came out.
Perhaps it is the Korori.
Ehh?!
Such a terrible thing ta happen.
Hang on.
This man, dyed in the barbarian's stink,
should go ask for help from the barbarians
who imported the Korori.
Right, Tachibana-kun?
Yes.
Oi.
Ain't there a good doc around?
Right now he's just an ordinary sick person!
In the row houses of Honjo-Aioi-cho,
a Sensei by the name Minakata
is said to be treating the Korori.
Minakata-sensei?
You know him?
As someone who know him,
I'm indebted to ya.
Well then,
what was your request?
This medicine doesn't work!
My diarrhea isn't stopping!
I know it's hard right now,
but it will gradually become better.
It cuts...
Oi, hurry and clean it up!
Please wait a moment!
Kiichi, are you okay?
I threw up great.
My hand...
...it's like an old man's hand.
That's because of the fluids leaving your body.
That's why...
I need to drink this, right?
If I die here...
Sensei loses money, right?
Eh?
The edamame for my mother's operation.
I said I would deliver them to you for life.
I've been counting it up.
One bunch of 5 edamame, I guess,
is for your fee for the both of us.
Counting is my strength.
The greengrocer Genji-san taught me.
If I bring you 5 bunches every day,
I'll have to deliver them for 520 days.
Because edamame can only be
around for 2 months each year,
I'll surely have to live
for about 20 years,
so Sensei would lose money otherwise.
That's right, Kiichi.
That's why you have to hang in there!
Kiichi!
"It's a mysterious thing, Miki."
"The man I was this morning"
"who didn't want to change anyone's destiny,"
"now..."
"...wants to change this child's destiny,
one way or another."
That...
...was pretty bad just now, wasn't it?
"Jin-sensei!"
"How long has it been?"
"That there was someone..."
"...anyone..."
"...that I wanted to save
from the very bottom of my heart?"
Kiichi...
God...
He gives us trials so that we can overcome them.
So let's do our best together.
Minakata-sensei!
Saki-san.
Sensei, there is a limit to what
one person can do.
Even if it is for the patient's sake,
this can only lead to exhaustion.
This may seem an unnecessary thing...
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Ogata-sensei,
I have a favor to ask.
First.
Could you tell me the cure to Korori?
Then, after that, we can talk.
Korori...
...is an infectious disease caused by
the cholera germ or microbe.
Get out of the way, patient coming through.
The patient dehydrates quickly,
and then collapses.
It saps the strength of the entire body
and causes the skin to lose its elasticity.
The eyes become sunken
as well as the cheeks.
The pulse becomes feeble
and before long, death.
Then, what's the cure?
Because it causes the body to lose fluids,
the patients must be supplied with moisture.
Just make them drink water?
That's right.
That's silly!
But it can't be just ordinary water.
In a specific mixture, salt and sugar
must be added and given orally
in what is called an ORS.
Ooaaruesu?
It must be given in nearly the
same condition water forms in our bodies.
That way it can be easily absorbed by the body.
Then...
...you patiently give the patient
the will to go on.
Eh?
That's all?
That is all that can be done right now.
Then it's possible to kill the
cholera germ like that?
Unfortunately, that won't kill them.
But this way,
we can keep it in check.
It's possible for patients to survive
until the cholera bacteria is discharged naturally.
How can that alone do it?
You need more than just that
to recover from Korori.
According to Most (city in Europe),
they make them drink opium and kiniine,
rub down the patient's skin,
have them take baths and sweat.
All that needs to be done and not done
was carefully written down in this,
"On the Cure for Korori."
I doubt that treatment will be effective.
Hey you!
This "On the Cure for Korori"
was translated from western books
by Ogata-sensei himself!
I'm sorry.
But...
I understand.
With this "On the Cure for Korori,"
they won't recover.
However,
I cannot believe you again.
Why,
when I came to you with my
proposal for help, did you lie to me?
That means, in other words...
...you were abandoning people
who were suffering from disease.
Regardless of whatever "circumstances"
you may have had.
Still,
the point of your argument is clear.
I want...
...to believe in you.
Well then...
Can you tell me just one thing
so I may believe you?
Where...
...did you learn this knowledge?
That was...
You don't remember?
Oi, old man, have you died?
Oi! Did he die?
Yes.
See!
You're a failure after all!
That's too bad.
Eh?
Please wait!
It was my lack of ability
that allowed the patient to die,
but I don't want this to take any more victims.
For that sake, please lend me your strength!
Please! Sensei!
In order to prevent even a little
of the Korori germ from getting outside,
Sensei has been watching over them.
Isn't this evidence
the Sensei's words are true?
Let us go, Sen...
It's Korori!
Are you okay, Yamada-dono?
What are you doing?
You wouldn't put a hand on him either.
What's with ya guys?!
Terrible friends, ain't ya?
Ya should be loaning each other ya shoulders.
Shut up!
It's because they're contagious
so when they throw up like that...
Could it be...
...what that there Sensei said...
...ya don't think's a lie anymore?
It's not that I don't believe him!
Between which,
these docs here who won't touch a patient,
and that'un over there,
I figure I know who'll cure the Korori.
This way, this way.
Counting on ya,
Minakata-sensei!
Yes!
Ryoma-san!
Please come and get sterilized.
I'm fine.
You can't.
Please wash your hands and neck
with alcohol and also remove your kimono.
Minakata-sensei.
Minakata-sensei,
please take care of Yamada here.
Please,
save him.
For the sake of the country...
For the sake of the city...
I will!
Edo's destiny is...
Edo's destiny is... entrusted to his hands
However...
The path is blocked...
...by the menace of Korori...
...Ryoma?
"I must go back..."
"...to that world."
That patient...
Are you really that Sakamoto Ryoma?
I don't know what you mean by "that",
but I am the Sakamoto of Tosa.
Um...
Do you have an older sister,
a lady who could be considered "manly"?
Hey you...
How do ya know 'bout her?
Well...
Would you be a Tosa man, too?!
Well...
Huh?
Ah, a dream.
I saw it in a dream.
I heard your voice saying
you were coming to Edo.
A dream?
But...
I think it was a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
Sensei!
What's yer name?
That's a part of the connection, too. Right?
I'm Minakata Jin.
Minakata-sensei...
The Korori again? (cholera)

I'm certain he's that Ryoma.
He was assassinated...
If that man then was Sakamoto Ryoma,
then instead of being assassinated,
he time-slipped to 2009.
Then I somehow switched with him
and ended up here instead.
Then am I Sakamoto Ryoma?
But Sakamoto Ryoma is here.
No matter how I think about it,
I can't get back...
The current Shogunate is a coward!
He can't do anything more than
make a show of expelling the barbarians!
Wouldn't you say he's just wagging his tail...
since he's so eager to learn
from foreign countries?!
He needs Divine Punishment!
Divine Punishment!
Yes! Divine Punishment!
The man from Tosa, Sakamoto-dono.
You've had a troubled look on your face
ever since you got here.
My honored teachers here,
Ya all say, "Protect this,
I'll protect this" country,
but just how do ya plan to
go about protecting it?
As always, with the sword.
Before ya drew yer swords,
Ya'll be shot down by cannon
from a ship and it'll be all over.
"Divine punishment" ya say?
With weak methods like that,
they'll just cut ya down, one ta another.
So how many years do ya think it'll take?
No matter how ya look at it,
I don't think it'll turn out well.
Bastard! You're ridiculing us.
Sakamoto-kun.
There is some truth to your opinion.
However,
I think Divine Punishment
could be effective in this case.
An army that loses its commander
will self-destruct.
Our target this time should be
the Battleship Magistrate Officer,
Katsu Rintaro.
One person who should go is Inaba-kun.
The other person should be...
- Me!
- I'll go!
But you were just saying
that Divine Punishment was useless...
Changed my mind.
I should be the one ta go.
Selling them women...
...it's the same as you selling out
your country, you traitor!
Help me!
Prepare yourself!
Oi! Honored teachers, this is a bad idea!
Just now,
I saw a police agent patrolling.
They call me the Tosa Dappon (lordless samurai),
Sakamoto.
Dappon?!
- You're that one.
- One and the same.
If ya start something here,
it'll turn out badly!
We're obliged. Oi!
That just now...
...was just talk.
I'm embarrassed to say this,
"Yoshiwara - Suzuya"
but this is my store.
Whaa, such a place...
First time here?
Ah, yeah...
Please tell me how I may repay you.
Please allow us to soothe your worries away.
What kind of prostitute would you like?
Me?
Well...
Good morning, Sensei.
Good morning.
Shh!
Is something the matter, Saki-san?
Um... By "sterilization,"
should I understand that to mean
you boil something, or soak it in alcohol?
That's technically correct,
but I'd say the results of those actions
are effectively the same.
It destroys poisons.
Well then, you are saying there were poisons
on both the cloth and the hammer?
By poison I mean...
...tiny creatures that aren't visible to us
who live on the surface of things.
Things called bacteria can cling to them.
"Bacteria" things...
Why are you asking about this?
So I can be your assistant.
When a Sensei's knowledge
is spread among many people,
it will be possible for
more and more people to be cured.
If I can be your assistant
for even a little while...
When boiled or put into alcohol,
why does the bacteria die?
Sensei?
Well, I can't remember anything
more than that.
Saki...
What are you doing?
Nothing at all.
I'll go make the
morning preparations right away.
Minakata-sama.
Yes.
If Saki has been an obstruction in
your path of medicine,
I would like to ask for your pardon.
Saki is...
...quite an ordinary daughter.
I wish only for her to live happily.
Of course.
I have no such intentions whatsoever.
Then everything is all right.
Well then, excuse me.
Well then, one more thing.
How about shaving your head?
Huh?
When you say you are a doctor...
...you should wear your hair closely cropped
and knotted in the back.
Wearing it in that manner,
people will notice the length of
your honorable hair.
I do hope you will shave it.
Well, this...
This is just a suggestion.
With your head the way it is,
you will only be seen as a rogue.
As it turns out...
Kyoutaro is having his hair done as we speak.
Ah...
Let's see...
Let me think about it.
Next time for sure.
"They say that..."
"...the flapping of a butterfly's wings"
"can cause a typhoon
on the other side of the world."
"Ah."
"The Butterfly Effect."
"That's it."
"Miyako Higashi University Hospital"
"Destiny might be like that, too."
"If A-san doesn't kick a stone,"
"then maybe B-san wouldn't
come down with an illness."
"Where did all this come from?"
"It seems..."
"I have a tumor in my brain."
"If I were to continue practicing medicine here,"
"I could end up changing history."
"Letting someone live who should have died,"
"is changing that person's destiny."
"And, if they should live,"
"it could be they might murder someone
who was supposed to live."
"Even just my walking around"
"might be changing someone else's destiny."
"I..."
"may be altering the reality of
this place even now."
"Not doing that..."
"...is the least I can do..."
Oi, there's trouble!
What's the matter?
The Korori is back in the country.
Korori again?
I heard about it when I went to Asakusa.
"Holding my breath,"
"I should live as inconspicuously as possible."
"Someday..."
"I will return..."
"Until that day..."
"That's right, isn't it, Miki."
Korori! It's Korori!
Korori!
"Korori Danger"
('Korori' is made up of kanji characters that read:
"Wild Beast of Diarrhea" thus the tiger figure shown here)

Episode 2: "The Tragedy of Saving Lives"
"Yushima - Tachibana Home"
Ogata...
Kouan-sensei?
Is he a famous doctor?
Ogata-sensei opened a Dutch Medical school
named Tekijuku in Osaka.
He has over 400 followers.
Moreover, for the precautionary
measures against smallpox,
not only was he the one who
established vaccinations,
but he is the only doctor of Western medicine
who can enter the Ooku
and treat the Shogun himself...
Please stop.
There is no one who
studies Dutch Medicine in Edo
who does not know this, Sensei,
so that was a strange question.
Is this person truly reliable?
Minakata-sensei has lost
a portion of his memory due to an accident.
You have no memories?
But,
from what I've seen,
he hasn't forgotten his medical skills.
He has splendid handiwork...
Please stop.
You are the only one out of a hundred
who has seen it.
Did you not hear me when
I asked you to stop?
That was unseemly.
What is your business in coming to our home?
I have come to ask if you
have a cure for Korori.
Cholera?!
Ah, no...
Korori, is it?
This summer, when measles was prevalent,
thousands of people in Edo
came down with the illness.
This time it's Korori,
and if it goes on like this,
the city of Edo will become a city of death.
This man has told me...
that our Sensei here...
has learned of medicines
that have never been seen before.
Therefore, somehow,
we would ask that you teach us
how to cure the Korori.
Um...
I will ask you as well.
I lost my father to Korori four years ago.
Putting it another way,
Korori was my father's enemy.
Sensei, I would request that you loan us
your power in overcoming Korori.
Please stop.
Um...
Um...
I...
...don't know anything about Korori.
You don't know.
Weren't you around four years ago?
If I remember,
more than 100,000 people
died here in Edo alone.
Ah, no...
When I say I don't know...
It's just I have no recollection of it...
It does not matter what it is.
Whatever you do remember
of the cure that will save us,
will you teach us?
For the country's sake...
For the city's sake...
Please...
...instruct us.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing there?
Mother.
They were saying that Korori...
...has come around again.
Even if that may be so,
you must not make the mistake
of interfering too much.
Yes.
"To Destroy Korori"
Does killing a person weigh on your mind?
It's a heavy thing.
He's the crafty villain
who could sell over the winner Ninomoto, isn't he?
I'll go.
It's fer the country's sake.
You're not here, Formalin-kun.
Jin-sensei!
Jin-sensei!
Kiichi.
Here, your edamame.
Whoa.
Thank you.
How come you didn't make
your house call today?
Ah...
How's your mother's injury doing?
Does she seem dizzy or wobbly?
Nope.
Then she should be okay.
I didn't come to talk about that.
Come over for a little while.
Huh?
Okay?
Hey, come on over.
We have the famous Kurogame here.
Get your Kurogame here.
Ah, Sir, won't you have some today?
Is it okay for you to be out?
Because of the Korori outbreak,
Mother has gone to visit the shrine.
Is that right?
For the Korori?
Yes.
What's the matter?
If you get too close,
people will think we're walking together.
Huh?
If the princess of a samurai family is seen
walking with a man, it's not good.
Ah, so that's it.
They say Sensei's strange,
but you're strange in the head, too.
What's that?
Coffins.
Sensei...
...how do you cure the Korori?
I don't know that, either.
Sensei, this is an inkstone case.
It's not a great one though.
It was a keepsake of my father's.
You shouldn't say such things.
Such an important thing...
If Sensei would use it,
I think my late husband would be happy, too.
Well then,
I will treat it with great care.
Tae-san,
the water-man's come.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me a moment.
Sensei,
what do you think of my mother?
Huh?
She's a beauty, isn't she?
Kiichi!
What's the matter, Kiichi?!
Sensei, Kiichi is...
It's... Korori, is it not?
Korori?
Korori...
The Korori's come!
Korori!
It's Korori!
Kiichi!
Sensei, what should I do?
Sensei!
I'm very sorry.
I don't know how to cure it.
For this disease...
I have no cure.
Let's go back, Saki-san.
Saki-san!
Four years ago,
my father caught the Korori, too.
My father passed away,
but I am the one who survived.
I am not supposed to
turn my back on a request.
Please stop that, Saki-san.
Doing that will just spread it around.
Please stop!
Contagious...
This is a contagious disease, is it not?
Why did you behave as if you didn't know?
It's not something you're supposed to know.
There are some lines which
just shouldn't be crossed.
If I were to help someone...
Just what sort of reason is there...
...that a doctor shouldn't help someone?!
If there is any reason why you would let
an innocent child die without helping him,
then what is it?!
Korori is...
...a disease caused by a bacteria
known as the cholera bacterium.
When the cholera bacterium enters the body,
it causes diarrhea and vomiting,
making the person lose necessary fluids.
That results in the person's death.
Cholera has come!
Cholera lives in raw water and raw foods.
They can be in the patient's stool or vomit.
It enters the body through the mouth.
Therefore, the important thing is
to quarantine the patient
so as not to spread the bacteria.
Also,
you must never, ever put unboiled water
or uncooked food into your mouth.
It is essential they be put over a fire
before ingesting.
After that,
anything that has been tainted
must be thoroughly sterilized!
This cholera bacteria thing is the bad one?
Yes, yes!
Then we can beat this thing?
That's right.
Even if you are watching over someone
who has it, there is no need to be afraid.
Every one of you can help in the prevention...
Cholera...
Let's dedicate ourselves to beating cholera!
Let's beat this cholera quickly!
If we all join forces, we can do this!
That's right! That's true!
Everyone, please work together!
Let's work together.
Then first thing...
we should quarantine Kiichi-chan...
and then sterilize ourselves and the room, right?
That's right.
Who here has distilled alcohol?
I do!
In my home.
If you would please.
It should be as thickly concentrated as possible.
Sure!
After that,
is there anyone here who keeps lime?
Lime?
Quicklime?
I've got that.
If you would please!
We've finished the sterilization.
Then it's best if you leave.
When you do leave,
please change your kimonos again.
Once you have changed,
please burn those kimonos right away.
Then bury the ashes in the earth.
Yes.
Saki-san, you should leave, too.
I'm staying here.
Fire...
The flint sticks are here.
Thank you very much.
I will do it.
Sensei,
everyone brought you salt and sugar.
Thank you very much.
What do you intend to do with them?
When you dissolve the salt and sugar
into water, you can make a liquid called ORS.
Ooaruesu?
It is the medicine that can save Kiichi.
He will recover with just salt and sugar?
With this, we can replenish the
water and minerals he loses
due to the diarrhea and vomiting.
In what manner should the
salt and sugar be made...
Saki-san,
I asked you to get out.
I will light the fire for you first...
If you were lost to cholera as your father was...
Please give a little consideration to
your mother's feelings.
A fire, please.
Yes. I will start a fire.
So I've made a sports drink, huh...
"1 part water, 10 parts sugar, 2 parts salt"
"Four Years Ago"
"Kyoutaro, Saki,"
"I'm counting on you."
"Father! Father!"
Weren't you with Minakata-sensei?
It's best not to tell Mother; keep it hidden.
He told me to leave.
Because Korori is contagious.
Korori?
Sensei is in a row house in Honjo right now,
treating someone for Korori.
But,
Sensei doesn't know the cure for it.
It seems he had some circumstances.
Well then,
the least we can do is pray for each of them.
My prayers...
...did not reach him.
Father...
...became skin and bones...
He did not have to die!!
Where are you going?
I am going to fight the Korori.
I am vexed!
Because there are people fighting the Korori,
but all I do is say prayers here.
I must do this...
You will be disinherited.
Father,
who would lift up an injured child
as though he were his own child,
would not have wanted us to be people like this.
If Father had lived,
would he not have done this as well?
If you go, this is the end!
You will never cross
this family's threshold again.
I...
...will go and fight in the place
of my dead father!
Protecting the family...
...is not only a matter of shutting oneself off...
for the safety of our bodies.
Learning the arts that will defeat the Korori...
Isn't that the true nature of protecting a family?
You have a sly way of speaking.
Mother...
...my Haori and Hakama.
(half-coat and split, formal skirt)
While my younger sister goes out
to put her life on the line,
I, as her older brother,
cannot stand by watching quietly.
I'll change it.
"Do Not Enter"
How much salt and sugar is needed?
For every measure of water,
there should be 2 parts salt and 10 parts sugar.
Sensei, it's ready!
Thank you very much.
Leave it there, please.
Um, what is Kiichi's condition?
Making more ORS is necessary to help save Kiichi.
That's what you should be thinking about.
I understand.
Sensei!
Excuse me, anyone?
Western Medicine Office
Is there anyone here?
Is there something the matter?
Ogata-sensei!
Could you go and speak to
Minakata-sensei once more?
Sensei is treating the Korori
by himself right now!
Somehow,
can I please ask for your assistance?!
Didn't your so-called doctor Minakata
say he didn't know anything
about the Korori just this morning?
There were...
...unusual circumstances.
Please call a palanquin for me.
Ogata-sensei!
If there is the possibility of saving even one,
then a person who aspires to medicine should go.
Thank you very much!
That's it.
You're doing great, Kiichi.
Oi!
Katsu passes by here.
On the day he attends the castle,
he'll definitely pass by here on his way home.
When cutting Katsu,
aim for the neck.
He comes!
Katsu-sensei!
Katsu Rintaro,
Divine Punishment!
You...
Oh!
Sorry! My eyes are getting bad these days.
You okay?
Hurry and cut him!
Oh! Katsu!
Prepare...
Sorry 'bout that...
When I get nervous, I fart...
Hey!
You did all this on purpose, didn't you?
It's a misunderstanding!
Resolve yourself, you traitor!
What is it?
What's that?
You were farting, too!
Ala!
Along with the fart, some juice came out.
Perhaps it is the Korori.
Ehh?!
Such a terrible thing ta happen.
Hang on.
This man, dyed in the barbarian's stink,
should go ask for help from the barbarians
who imported the Korori.
Right, Tachibana-kun?
Yes.
Oi.
Ain't there a good doc around?
Right now he's just an ordinary sick person!
In the row houses of Honjo-Aioi-cho,
a Sensei by the name Minakata
is said to be treating the Korori.
Minakata-sensei?
You know him?
As someone who know him,
I'm indebted to ya.
Well then,
what was your request?
This medicine doesn't work!
My diarrhea isn't stopping!
I know it's hard right now,
but it will gradually become better.
It cuts...
Oi, hurry and clean it up!
Please wait a moment!
Kiichi, are you okay?
I threw up great.
My hand...
...it's like an old man's hand.
That's because of the fluids leaving your body.
That's why...
I need to drink this, right?
If I die here...
Sensei loses money, right?
Eh?
The edamame for my mother's operation.
I said I would deliver them to you for life.
I've been counting it up.
One bunch of 5 edamame, I guess,
is for your fee for the both of us.
Counting is my strength.
The greengrocer Genji-san taught me.
If I bring you 5 bunches every day,
I'll have to deliver them for 520 days.
Because edamame can only be
around for 2 months each year,
I'll surely have to live
for about 20 years,
so Sensei would lose money otherwise.
That's right, Kiichi.
That's why you have to hang in there!
Kiichi!
"It's a mysterious thing, Miki."
"The man I was this morning"
"who didn't want to change anyone's destiny,"
"now..."
"...wants to change this child's destiny,
one way or another."
That...
...was pretty bad just now, wasn't it?
"Jin-sensei!"
"How long has it been?"
"That there was someone..."
"...anyone..."
"...that I wanted to save
from the very bottom of my heart?"
Kiichi...
God...
He gives us trials so that we can overcome them.
So let's do our best together.
Minakata-sensei!
Saki-san.
Sensei, there is a limit to what
one person can do.
Even if it is for the patient's sake,
this can only lead to exhaustion.
This may seem an unnecessary thing...
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Ogata-sensei,
I have a favor to ask.
First.
Could you tell me the cure to Korori?
Then, after that, we can talk.
Korori...
...is an infectious disease caused by
the cholera germ or microbe.
Get out of the way, patient coming through.
The patient dehydrates quickly,
and then collapses.
It saps the strength of the entire body
and causes the skin to lose its elasticity.
The eyes become sunken
as well as the cheeks.
The pulse becomes feeble
and before long, death.
Then, what's the cure?
Because it causes the body to lose fluids,
the patients must be supplied with moisture.
Just make them drink water?
That's right.
That's silly!
But it can't be just ordinary water.
In a specific mixture, salt and sugar
must be added and given orally
in what is called an ORS.
Ooaaruesu?
It must be given in nearly the
same condition water forms in our bodies.
That way it can be easily absorbed by the body.
Then...
...you patiently give the patient
the will to go on.
Eh?
That's all?
That is all that can be done right now.
Then it's possible to kill the
cholera germ like that?
Unfortunately, that won't kill them.
But this way,
we can keep it in check.
It's possible for patients to survive
until the cholera bacteria is discharged naturally.
How can that alone do it?
You need more than just that
to recover from Korori.
According to Most (city in Europe),
they make them drink opium and kiniine,
rub down the patient's skin,
have them take baths and sweat.
All that needs to be done and not done
was carefully written down in this,
"On the Cure for Korori."
I doubt that treatment will be effective.
Hey you!
This "On the Cure for Korori"
was translated from western books
by Ogata-sensei himself!
I'm sorry.
But...
I understand.
With this "On the Cure for Korori,"
they won't recover.
However,
I cannot believe you again.
Why,
when I came to you with my
proposal for help, did you lie to me?
That means, in other words...
...you were abandoning people
who were suffering from disease.
Regardless of whatever "circumstances"
you may have had.
Still,
the point of your argument is clear.
I want...
...to believe in you.
Well then...
Can you tell me just one thing
so I may believe you?
Where...
...did you learn this knowledge?
That was...
You don't remember?
Oi, old man, have you died?
Oi! Did he die?
Yes.
See!
You're a failure after all!
That's too bad.
Eh?
Please wait!
It was my lack of ability
that allowed the patient to die,
but I don't want this to take any more victims.
For that sake, please lend me your strength!
Please! Sensei!
In order to prevent even a little
of the Korori germ from getting outside,
Sensei has been watching over them.
Isn't this evidence
the Sensei's words are true?
Let us go, Sen...
It's Korori!
Are you okay, Yamada-dono?
What are you doing?
You wouldn't put a hand on him either.
What's with ya guys?!
Terrible friends, ain't ya?
Ya should be loaning each other ya shoulders.
Shut up!
It's because they're contagious
so when they throw up like that...
Could it be...
...what that there Sensei said...
...ya don't think's a lie anymore?
It's not that I don't believe him!
Between which,
these docs here who won't touch a patient,
and that'un over there,
I figure I know who'll cure the Korori.
This way, this way.
Counting on ya,
Minakata-sensei!
Yes!
Ryoma-san!
Please come and get sterilized.
I'm fine.
You can't.
Please wash your hands and neck
with alcohol and also remove your kimono.
Minakata-sensei.
Minakata-sensei,
please take care of Yamada here.
Please,
save him.
For the sake of the country...
For the sake of the city...
I will!
Edo's destiny is...
Edo's destiny is... entrusted to his hands
However...
The path is blocked...
...by the menace of Korori...
