Sanosuke is visiting the sukiyaki restaurant Akabeko, where he always leaves his bill on a tab. One of Akabeko's workers, Tae, asks him to go buy a Nishiki painting from the painting shop on her behalf. Though Sanosuke had no interest in paintings, he finds one at the store that catches his eye. It was a painting of the man he looked up to as his master back when he was a member of the Sekiho Army, Captain Sagara. With a gleam in his eyes, Sanosuke makes his way to meet with the artist of the painting.
You've gotten even more glum
than 10 years ago.
صرت أكثر كآبة حتّى ممّا كنت عليه
.قبل عشر سنوات
Du bist noch finsterer geworden,
als du es vor zehn Jahren warst.
Te has vuelto mucho más depresivo
en estos diez años.
Te has vuelto mucho más deprimente
en estos diez años.
En dix ans, ton tempérament
s’est encore assombri.
Sei ancora più deprimente 
di quanto non lo fossi già all'epoca...
Você ficou ainda mais
triste do que há 10 anos.
Друг мой, а ты стал ещё мрачнее,
чем прежде…
