***SIGN*** Lake Toya
**[00:05] Gin**
Hey, I'm back.
**[00:12] Gin**
Didn't you hear that Gin-san's back?
**[00:15] Gin**
Don't you idiots know how
to welcome someone?!
**[00:22] Gin**
Man, they're so mean.
**[00:25] Gin**
Are they upset about the
six month vacation?
**[00:29] Gin**
Seriously, kids need way
too much attention.
**[00:33] Gin**
Hi!
**[00:34] Gin**
Long time no see,
Shin-chan, Kagura-chan!
**[00:36] Gin**
How's it going?
**[00:37] Gin**
Sorry I ran out on you for so long.
**[00:40] Gin**
I brought you some Shinsengumi
manju, so cheer up.
**[00:47] Shin**
Honestly, what were you doing?
**[00:49] Shin**
You're late.
**[00:50] Kag**
Get dressed.
**[00:52] Kag**
We have a visitor.
**[00:53] ---**
Oh, yeah, sorry.
**[00:54] Shin**
Hurry up!
**[00:55] Shin**
Kin-san!
**[00:55] Kag**
Kin-chan!
**[00:57] Gin**
Kin-san?
***SIGN*** Be sure to watch Kintama in a well-lit room
and sit some distance from the TV!!
**[00:59] Kin**
Oh, sorry about that.
**[01:02] Kin**
I've got a splitting headache after
drinking too much last night.
**[01:06] Kin**
Sorry about the poor reception.
**[01:10] Kin**
I'm Odd Jobs Sakata Kintoki.
**[01:15] Kin**
Please have a seat,
**[01:18] Kin**
sir.
***SIGN*** Nobody with Natural Straight
Hair Can Be That Bad
**[02:56] Gin**
Sorry, I'm in the wrong place.
**[03:01] Gin**
What the hell?
**[03:03] Gin**
I'm so drunk, I ended up in a different
anime and pulled a Breakfast Attack.
**[03:07] Gin**
Yeah, that was a shock.
**[03:08] Gin**
I didn't hear about this
show being on TV Tokyo.
**[03:12] Gin**
It looks like a ratings bomb
to me, so I'd be worried.
**[03:15] Gin**
The last time I saw a
first episode this bad,
**[03:18] Gin**
Gintama was switched to a different
time slot six months later.
**[03:21] Gin**
Maybe I should have
given them some advice.
**[03:24] Gin**
Like, to add a special
attack or something.
**[03:27] Gin**
And *Kintama* is such a crass title.
**[03:30] Gin**
Why not something flashy
like *Kin no Exorcist*?
**[03:33] Gin**
They'll need to give that boring
four-eyes a bunch of moles
**[03:35] ---**
and turn him into the
main character's little brother
**[03:37] ---**
if they want the manga
to sell a million copies.
**[03:40] Gin**
And if they're going with
a heroine that's a kid,
**[03:40] [SONG] Song**
Sada-Sada Haru-Haru
Gobbles everyone down
**[03:41] Gin**
they should make her small
enough to be a mascot,
**[03:44] Gin**
then make her dance with that dog.
**[03:44] [SONG] Song**
Tears everyone up
Tomorrow will be another bloody day
**[03:50] Gin**
The nail in the coffin would
be the main character.
**[03:52] Gin**
He's too polished.
**[03:54] Gin**
Nobody's gonna remember a
guy with straight hair.
**[03:56] Gin**
The main character needs wavy hair.
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Kin-chan
***SIGN*** Snack Otose
**[04:00] Gin**
Anyway, their faces looked
awfully familiar,
**[04:02] Gin**
despite being a new show...
**[04:04] Gin**
Whatever.
**[04:06] Gin**
Time to go home.
**[04:09] Gin**
*Where is home?*
**[04:11] Gin**
*Wait, it's not my hangover.*
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Kin-chan
**[04:13] Gin**
*The sign's changed, but
that's clearly my home!*
**[04:17] Gin**
*This isn't* Ao no Exorcist *
or* Aka no Exorcist*.*
**[04:21] Gin**
*It's* Dumb and Dumbercist*!*
**[04:23] Gin**
*That was clearly Shinpachi and Kagura!*
**[04:26] Gin**
*The title changed from Gin to Kin.*
***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** Kintama
**[04:28] Gin**
*Gold is more valuable than silver,*
**[04:30] ---**
*but the title's gone down the gutter.*
**[04:32] Gin**
*But everything else about this show*
**[04:35] Gin**
*is clearly* Gintama*!
**[04:38] Gin**
*So, so...*
**[04:39] Gin**
*Who is this guy, this man
with blond straight hair?*
**[04:41] Gin**
*Who is Sakata Kintoki?!*
**[04:44] Gin**
*I wasn't gone that long.*
**[04:48] Gin**
*What?*
**[04:48] Gin**
*How?*
**[04:49] Gin**
*Why?*
**[04:51] Shin**
So who was that guy anyway?
**[04:55] Kagura**
He kind of reminded me of Kin-chan.
**[04:58] Kin**
Really? My head isn't that screwy.
**[05:02] Shin**
That's right.
**[05:04] Shin**
You were born with straight hair
and a straight personality.
**[05:10] Shin**
*Why was the main character's throne
changed from silver to gold?!*
**[05:19] Shin**
Oh, so you have a job for us?
**[05:23] Shin**
You just turned around
and left earlier.
**[05:24] Shin**
Is it something difficult
to talk about?
**[05:27] Kag**
Just let it all out!
**[05:29] Kag**
Odd Jobs is here to help people!
**[05:33] Gin**
Oh, really...
**[05:36] Gin**
Then I'll talk.
**[05:40] Gin**
The thing is, you see,
**[05:43] ---**
I left the house for a while, and when
I came back, something was wrong.
**[05:48] Gin**
The entire anime was wrong.
**[05:50] Gin**
I've lost my place.
**[05:52] Shin**
Ah, I see.
**[05:54] Kag**
Like returning from a business trip
**[05:56] ---**
to find your wife with another man?
**[05:58] Gin**
Yeah, yeah...
**[05:59] Gin**
A strange man was wearing my bathrobe,
**[06:02] ---**
digging through my fridge,
and eating my pudding.
**[06:05] Kag**
That would make me mad!
**[06:07] Gin**
Right? Don't you want to kill him?
**[06:09] Gin**
*I'll °°°° the °°°°° °°°°
°°° °° °°°° °°°°°!*
**[06:13] Gin**
*I'm gone a few months and °°°
°°°°°° °° ° °°°° into my house!*
**[06:17] Gin**
*What the hell is his deal?!*
**[06:19] Shin**
Anyway, there's some
paperwork to be done,
**[06:21] ---**
so please give us your name.
**[06:22] Gin**
Sakata Gintoki.
**[06:24] Kag**
Wow, even your name is like Kin-chan's.
**[06:27] Kag**
Are you long lost brothers?
**[06:30] Gin**
*They've completely forgotten
about the main character?!*
**[06:33] Oto**
Stop it, now.
**[06:35] ---**
He wouldn't want this
loser as a brother.
**[06:39] Kin**
Hey, that's cold, Gran.
**[06:41] Gin**
*Gran, too!*
**[06:43] Cath**
Absolutely, gold is
much better than silver.
**[06:47] Kin**
You're joining in, Catherine?
**[06:49] Gin**
*And Catherine!*
**[06:50] Gin**
*It didn't take them long to
switch from silver to gold!*
**[06:56] Gin**
*What's going on?!*
**[06:57] Gin**
*Did they pawn off five years
of memories with Gin-san?!*
**[07:01] Gin**
*How did you erase all the
time spent with Gin-san?!*
**[07:05] Gin**
*And worst of all...*
**[07:07] Kin**
Now, now. Have a drink,
Gin-san or whatever.
**[07:10] Kin**
We may not be related by blood,
**[07:12] Kin**
but men can form bonds by
having a drink together.
**[07:15] Kin**
If you're having problems, let me know,
**[07:17] Kin**
brother!
**[07:18] Gin**
*...he's a much better main
character than Gin-san!*
**[07:22] Kag**
Super, Kin-chan! That's
why I love you!
**[07:24] Shin**
Way to be a man, Kin-san!
**[07:26] Gin**
*And he's much better
liked than Gin-san!*
**[07:27] Kin**
Well, let's get going.
**[07:29] Oto**
Honestly, he's too nice.
**[07:31] ---**
Don't do anything stupid.
**[07:32] Kin**
Yeah, I'll leave this here to be safe.
**[07:36] Kin**
That'll cover this month's rent.
**[07:37] Oto**
Hold on. I don't charge
this much for rent.
**[07:42] Kin**
Please, you must be getting old.
**[07:45] Kin**
In that case, you might as
well forget about your job
**[07:48] ---**
and go visit a hot spring.
**[07:54] Oto**
Come back in one piece!
**[07:56] Gin**
*And he certainly has enough
money to be golden!*
**[08:00] Gin**
*My eyes! This guy is blinding me!*
**[08:04] Gin**
*So my dull silver luster was
devoured by his golden shine?!*
**[08:08] Gin**
*That's why everyone forgot about*
**[08:10] ---**
*Gin-san and switched to Kin-san?!*
**[08:13] Gin**
*Seriously?! Are you serious?!*
**[08:14] Gin**
Gin-san's given you over
sixty volumes of DVDs!
***SIGN*** Year 1
***SIGN*** Year 2 Year 1
***SIGN*** Year 3 Year 2 Year 1
***SIGN*** Year 4 Year 3 Year 2 Year 1
***SIGN*** Year 5 Year 4 Year 3 Year 2 Year 1
**[08:18] Gin**
If you line up sixty volumes of DVDs,
**[08:19] ---**
that's enough room
**[08:21] ---**
for Tamo-san to take a nap!
**[08:22] Gin**
Sleep your heart out!
***SIGN*** Young Jump
**[08:24] Gin**
Meanwhile, that guy's
only been on a single DVD
***SIGN*** Kintama
Bonus DVD
**[08:26] ---**
that came with a volume of manga!
**[08:27] Gin**
You can't even fit Tamo-san's
sunglasses on that!
**[08:30] Gin**
He's still wet behind the ears!
**[08:32] Gin**
*Yet, look at the love he's getting.*
**[08:36] Gin**
*In half a year, while I was gone,*
**[08:39] Gin**
*he's repainted this city,
this anime, from silver to gold?!*
**[08:43] Kin**
So, Bro, about your request...
**[08:47] Kin**
Do you want to punish your wife,
**[08:49] Kin**
or do you want payback
on the other man?
**[08:52] Kin**
Which would you prefer?
**[08:54] Gin**
Neither.
**[08:55] Kin**
Huh?
**[08:56] Kin**
What do you want to do then?
**[08:58] Gin**
*Forget about gold and silver!*
**[08:59] Gin**
*I'm going to paint this town red!*
**[09:03] Gin**
Could you help me carry these DVDs?
**[09:09] Gin**
Oh, sorry!
**[09:10] Gin**
The sixty volumes are so heavy
that my hands slipped!
**[09:13] Gin**
*You're going to die from the impact*
**[09:15] ---**
*of sixty volumes of DVDs to your skull!*
**[09:16] Kag**
Kin-chan!
**[09:17] Shin**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[09:20] Gin**
*Kochikame* VHS tape collection slam!
**[09:22] Shin**
Stop it!
**[09:22] Gin**
*If I let him survive, it'll be big trouble!*
**[09:22] Gin**
Complete *One Piece* DVD collection slam!
**[09:23] Shin**
Stop!
**[09:24] Shi**
Hey, stop it!
**[09:24] Gin**
*Naruto* slam!
**[09:25] Gin**
*Bleach* slam!
**[09:28] Shin**
Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?!
**[09:33] Shin**
What do you think you're
doing to our Kin-san?!
**[09:33] ---**
Kin-chan! Kin-chan, get up!
**[09:35] Shin**
You're despicable!
**[09:36] Shin**
Kin-san was trying to help
you, a total stranger!
**[09:39] Kag**
Kin-chan!
**[09:41] Shin**
How could you do this to him?!
**[09:42] Gin**
Hold on, Pachi-boy.
**[09:44] Gin**
I'm not a total stranger.
**[09:47] Shin**
Don't call me Pachi-boy!
**[09:48] Shin**
How do you have the nerve?
**[09:50] Gin**
Tell me you're lying, Kagura!
**[09:53] Gin**
This is all an act, right?
**[09:54] Gin**
You're trying to trick me again.
**[09:57] Kag**
Get lost.
**[09:58] Kag**
Never show your face
in this town again.
**[10:01] Kag**
If you come near Kin-chan
again, you'll get it.
**[10:05] Gin**
W-Wait, Shinpachi! Kagura!
**[10:07] Gin**
Who is this Kin-san you
keep talking about?!
**[10:11] Gin**
Didn't the three of us work
together as Odd Jobs?!
**[10:14] Gin**
Are you saying the
sixty volumes of DVDs
**[10:17] ---**
we spent together meant nothing?!
**[10:20] Shin**
What are you talking about?
**[10:22] Shin**
We spent sixty volumes of DVDs
**[10:26] ---**
with Kin-san!
**[10:36] Shin**
*A-A samurai?*
**[10:45] Kin**
*Enough jabbering.*
**[10:47] Kin**
*Are you in heat, fool?*
**[10:56] Gin**
*Every episode's been edited!*
**[11:01] Gin**
*I-Impossible!*
**[11:02] Gin**
*This is... This is...*
**[11:06] Gin**
*Wh-Who would have done
an edit job worse*
**[11:09] ---**
*than* To Love-Ru Doki Doki*?!*
**[11:12] Kyu**
*You think you can beat the
lightning speed of my sword?!*
**[11:15] Gin**
*This one, too?!*
**[11:17] Otae**
Is he okay?
**[11:19] Otae**
His hair's so wavy.
**[11:20] Otae**
Perhaps he needs help?
**[11:22] Kyu**
No, you should stay away from him.
**[11:24] Kyu**
He might be one of those
wavy-haired con artists.
**[11:27] Kyu**
Let sleeping waves lie.
**[11:29] Otae**
But we can't just ignore him.
**[11:30] Otae**
I know. Let's ask Kin-san for help.
**[11:33] Kyu**
Yes, Kintoki has helped us many times.
**[11:37] Kyu**
He'll know what to do.
**[11:38] Gin**
What's going on?
**[11:40] Gin**
This DVD is also...
**[11:41] Sa**
Guess who?
**[11:44] Gin**
Sa-chan!
**[11:46] Gin**
Do you recognize me?
**[11:49] Sa**
Who are you?!
**[11:52] Sa**
That's odd. I thought he was Kin-san.
**[11:56] Gin**
So this DVD is also...
**[11:58] Tsu**
What do you think?
**[11:59] ---**
This is the Kabuki district, where
Kintoki and his friends live.
**[12:02] Hino**
Oh, it reminds me of Yoshiwara.
**[12:05] Sei**
Right?
**[12:06] ---**
There's strands of torn-out
hair everywhere.
**[12:08] Gin**
And this one!
**[12:10] Zura**
Hurry, Elizabeth!
***SIGN*** Win the Costume Grand Prix!!
**[12:12] Zura**
We've spent six months perfecting
**[12:13] ---**
our techniques to use against Kin-chan!
**[12:16] Zura**
Why would you do that?
**[12:17] Zura**
Cut me some slack!
**[12:19] Zura**
Okay, you pass!
**[12:20] Gin**
*I-I haven't just been forgotten.*
**[12:24] Gin**
*My existence has been wiped
clean from this town,*
**[12:29] ---**
*from the sixty volumes of DVDs...*
**[12:31] Gin**
*Sakata Gintoki's accomplishments
and history*
**[12:36] Gin**
*have been stolen by Sakata Kintoki!*
**[12:49] Gin**
Pops, give me another one
so I can forget everything.
**[12:54] Pop**
Honestly, you should
stop for the night.
**[12:57] Gin**
If it's money you're
worried about, don't.
**[12:59] Gin**
You'll forget I was
ever here soon enough.
**[13:03] Pop**
What are you talking about?
**[13:06] Kin**
Give me a hot one, Pops.
**[13:07] Kin**
One for this guy, too.
**[13:09] Kin**
Oh, sir. Thank you.
**[13:11] Kin**
There are times when men have no choice
**[13:13] ---**
but to drink.
**[13:15] Kin**
Right, Bro?
**[13:17] Kin**
What happened?
**[13:18] Gin**
Nothing.
**[13:20] Gin**
I have nothing left.
**[13:24] Gin**
Nothing at all...
**[13:26] Kin**
Did you lose at the tracks?
**[13:28] Gin**
Yeah, something like that.
**[13:31] Gin**
I gambled my life and lost
it all in a single night.
**[13:35] Kin**
A golden horse stole victory
at the very last second?
**[13:44] Gin**
B-Bastard!
**[13:46] Kin**
Calm down, Bro.
**[13:48] Kin**
I bought you a drink
as a peace offering.
**[13:51] Kin**
Sit down and join me.
**[13:53] Gin**
Don't mess with me!
**[13:58] Kin**
I told you to drink.
**[14:00] Gin**
*B-Bastard!*
**[14:04] Gin**
Who the hell are you?!
**[14:09] Gin**
What did you do to Shinpachi
and everyone else?!
**[14:11] Kin**
I didn't do a thing.
**[14:13] Kin**
Didn't you watch the DVDs?
**[14:15] Kin**
They should have been self-explanatory.
**[14:17] Gin**
Bullshit! I was the one
who did everything!
**[14:20] Kin**
But how can you prove it?
**[14:23] Kin**
You're the only one who believes that.
**[14:25] Kin**
Nobody can even remember you.
**[14:29] Kin**
I can guess what you're thinking.
**[14:32] Kin**
That I'm using illusions
to trick everyone.
**[14:36] Kin**
But there's another way to look at it.
**[14:38] Kin**
You're the one who's gone crazy.
**[14:41] Kin**
Your memories are all delusions.
**[14:46] Kin**
As you watched my success,
**[14:49] ---**
you began to think that you were me.
**[14:53] Kin**
Maybe, as you were watching
those sixty DVD volumes,
**[14:56] ---**
you were fantasizing that
they were about you.
**[15:00] Gin**
That's impossible!
**[15:01] Kin**
But you're the only person in
**[15:03] ---**
this world who thinks that way.
**[15:05] Kin**
Don't you get it?
**[15:06] Kin**
You're the one who's crazy.
**[15:09] Kin**
You're the only one complaining.
**[15:12] Kin**
Weren't you watching?
**[15:13] Kin**
Life goes on just fine without you.
**[15:17] Kin**
I dare say it's going better
than in your fantasy world.
**[15:22] Kin**
That's reality.
**[15:24] Kin**
Nobody's looking at you.
**[15:27] Kin**
Nobody needs you.
**[15:30] Kin**
Because I'm here.
**[15:32] Kin**
There's no place for you here.
**[15:39] A**
Hey, watch where you're going!
**[15:41] B**
Hold it right there!
**[15:42] A**
I told you to wait!
**[15:43] Gin**
*Yeah, he's right.*
**[15:46] Mid**
Damn drunk!
**[15:48] Mid**
Don't show your face
in this town again!
**[15:51] Gin**
*I'm the one who isn't
needed in this world.*
***SIGN*** You Will Not Defeat Me!
**[15:56] Gin**
*I'm the one who doesn't belong
in a prime time anime.*
**[16:01] A**
Sir, time's up.
**[16:04] B**
S-Sir?
**[16:06] C**
Wait, look!
**[16:07] Mid**
B-Boss!
**[16:10] Gin**
*I'm burned...*
**[16:12] Gin**
*Completely burned out...*
**[16:14] Gin**
*Not gold, not silver...*
**[16:17] Gin**
*I've been reduced to white ash.*
***SIGN*** The End
**[16:23] A**
Don't try to end the show so
you don't have to pay up!
**[16:26] B**
It's not over yet! There's
plenty more to come!
**[16:29] B**
Stand up!
**[16:30] B**
Stand up, bastard!
**[16:48] Gin**
Shut up, dog.
**[16:50] Gin**
Leave me alone.
**[16:51] Gin**
You can ignore a side
character like me.
**[16:57] Gin**
I told you to go away...
**[17:05] Gin**
Sadaharu...
**[17:15] Gin**
Sadaharu, do you recognize me?
**[17:20] Tama**
I found you.
**[17:22] Tama**
The gold hasn't gotten to
one person, one animal,
**[17:29] Tama**
and one machine.
**[17:32] ---**
I've been looking for you, Master Gintoki.
**[17:37] Gin**
Ta-Tama...
**[17:38] Gin**
Why are you...
**[17:40] Tama**
Do not worry.
**[17:42] Tama**
The rest of the world may
have forgotten about you,
**[17:45] ---**
but you will always
remain in my data bank.
**[17:48] Tama**
Because I always hold
the reset button when
**[17:50] ---**
I turn off the power and go to sleep.
**[17:53] Tama**
I'm sure you do the same thing.
**[17:58] Tama**
True,
**[18:00] ---**
your luster may not have
been as bright as gold...
**[18:03] Tama**
You only shined on occasion.
**[18:08] Tama**
You were always arguing and fighting.
**[18:12] Tama**
You had wavy hair. You were lazy.
**[18:15] Tama**
You were the king of sexual harassment.
**[18:17] Tama**
You never paid the rent.
**[18:19] Tama**
You paid your people late.
**[18:21] Tama**
Still, you were brighter than
the fake glint of gold plating.
**[18:26] Tama**
When you were angry, your
entire soul was enraged.
**[18:29] Tama**
When you laughed, you laughed
with all your heart.
**[18:33] Tama**
Your silver was much more beautiful.
**[18:42] Tama**
You haven't forgotten
that light, have you?
**[18:45] Tama**
You haven't allowed that fake
light to trick you, have you?
**[18:50] Tama**
In that case, you should stand
up and take this sword
**[18:55] Tama**
to repaint this world that
has been repainted gold.
**[19:01] Tama**
You will never lose to Sakata Kintoki.
***SIGN*** Kin-chan has your back Odd Jobs Kin-chan

**[19:24] Gin**
My soul has been colored
by every one of you fools.
**[19:31] Gin**
It's a dirty silver!

This isn't over yet.

I'm just getting started.

Sorry, I'm taking a bath right now.

Could you wait a bit?

Oh, it's okay.
**[20:35] Gin**
Then I'll leave this letter
of challenge here.
**[20:38] Gin**
Oh, maybe I should just come back.
**[20:40] Tama**
What are you doing?
**[20:42] ---**
Are you here to fool
around? Are you an idiot?
**[20:44] Gin**
Well, for some reason, it feels awkward

to step inside my own home,

I'll be blunt.

The way things stand now, it's
impossible for you to win.
**[21:01] Gin**
Didn't you just say I will never lose?
**[21:03] Tama**
Straight blond hair, honest,

How could you ever defeat

Huh? What?

**[00:00] Gin**
So, so...
**[00:01] Gin**
Who is this guy, this man
with blond straight hair?
**[00:04] Gin**
Who is Sakata Kintoki?!
**[00:05] Shin**
Why was the main character's throne
changed from silver to gold?!
**[00:12] Gin**
Sakata Gintoki's accomplishments
and history
**[00:14] Gin**
have been stolen by Sakata Kintoki!
**[00:17] Tama**
In that case, you should stand
up and take this sword.
**[00:21] Gin**
We're taking back our color.
**[00:23] Gin**

**[00:25] Kin**

**[00:40] Tama**

**[02:14] Gin**
A perfect Sakata Gintoki who
had overcome his weaknesses...
**[02:22] Gin**
Wait? What?
**[02:24] Gin**
Are you saying that...
**[02:26] Gin**
What are you saying?
**[02:28] Tama**
He's a plastic model.
**[02:30] Gin**
Ah, he's a plastic model.
**[02:33] Gin**
How am I supposed to
believe that, fool?!
**[02:34] Gin**
That's too simple!
**[02:36] Gin**
How about some details?!
**[02:37] Gin**
How can he be a plastic model?!
**[02:38] Gin**
You must be lying!
Tell me you're lying!
**[02:40] Tama**
The newer plastic models come
with detail before assembly.
**[02:43] Gin**
That's not what I meant!
**[02:45] Gin**
Why does this even exist?!
**[02:46] Gin**
Why has it taken over this anime?!
**[02:48] Tama**
As I explained earlier...
***SIGN*** Doll House
**[02:51] Shin**
I can't believe our leader
ditched us at such a busy time.
**[02:56] Kag**
No kidding.
**[02:57] ---**
We need every hand we can get.
**[02:59] Gen**
I can't offer any hands,
but I can provide help.
**[03:01] Both**
Huh?
**[03:02] Gen**
I've been working on this
useless toy for a while.
**[03:06] Tama**
Gengai-sama first built the
robot to serve as an assistant.
**[03:11] Tama**
But then they decided to
use it as a substitute leader
**[03:14] Tama**
since you were gone all the time.
**[03:17] Tama**
Yes...
**[03:18] Tama**
That was...
**[03:19] Tama**
Perfect Gintoki Unit 01.
**[03:21] Kag**
Yes! This is great!
**[03:23] Gin**
Is that what the leader is used for?
**[03:24] Gen**
You feel better now, right?
**[03:26] Tama**
In the beginning, it still
resembled Master Gintoki.
**[03:29] Kag**
I thought his hair was more wavy.
**[03:31] Tama**
But then they began
making improvements
**[03:32] ---**
to make it more
like the Odd Jobs leader.
**[03:35] Gin**
No, that's the wrong leader!
**[03:36] ---**
He leads a different trio!
**[03:37] Tama**
This was a better leader.
**[03:39] Tama**
This was the leader they wanted.
**[03:41] Tama**
At some point, they began customizing
**[03:42] ---**
the robot into their ideal leader.
**[03:44] Gen**
How's this?
**[03:45] Shin**
Looks good.
**[03:46] Shin**
Okay, I'm up next then.
**[03:50] Shin**
Die, Gintoki!
**[03:52] Shin**
Give me more screen time!
**[03:56] Tama**
It was no longer Master Gintoki.
**[04:00] Kin**
Hey, freaks.
**[04:03] Kin**
What's so fun about beating
up a helpless man?
**[04:05] Kin**
And you're supposed to
be Odd Jobs members?
**[04:07] Tama**
They had created their ideal leader.
**[04:09] Tama**
A perfect leader that
surpassed the original.
**[04:12] Kin**
If you're going to do
dirty business, quit now.
**[04:18] Tama**
Covering silver...
**[04:20] Kin**
Stand up. Come with me.
**[04:22] Kin**
Today is the birthday
of the New Odd Jobs!
**[04:25] Tama**
...with brilliant gold.
**[04:28] Tama**
Things took off from there.
**[04:30] Tama**
He led Odd Jobs on a
campaign of good deeds.
**[04:34] Tama**
Word spread and Odd Jobs quickly became
**[04:38] ---**
accepted as heroes by the town.
**[04:41] Tama**
However, he didn't stop after taking
over as the new face of Odd Jobs.
**[04:45] Tama**
In order to fulfill his one and only
duty, to replace Master Gintoki,
**[04:50] Tama**
he made every person in this town forget
**[04:55] ---**
the real Odd Jobs leader, you.
**[04:59] Tama**
He used special hypnotic waves
to manipulate their brains
**[05:03] Tama**
so they would replace you
with him in their memories.
**[05:10] Tama**
Sadaharu-sama and I are the
only ones who weren't affected
**[05:13] Tama**
because his hypnosis didn't
work on machines or animals.
**[05:17] Tama**
Do you understand now, Master Gintoki?
**[05:19] Tama**
His goal...
**[05:22] Tama**
Kintoki's goal...
**[05:25] Tama**
...is to completely replace
the original Odd Jobs leader.
**[05:27] Tama**
In other words, to become
the real Odd Jobs leader.
**[05:34] Gin**
The hell?!
**[05:36] Gin**
Why did you just sneak in the
episode title Bleach style?!
**[05:39] Gin**
This is turning into a different anime!
**[05:40] Gin**
This is how we roll!
***SIGN*** Kintoki and Gintoki
**[05:44] Tama**
That's wrong too.
**[05:47] Tama**
Anyway, one day is all it
**[05:49] ---**
should take for you to
understand what's happened.
**[05:51] Gin**
One day was all it took for them
to switch from silver to gold.
**[05:55] Gin**
Why am I letting a plastic
model dictate my life?!
**[05:57] Gin**
I'm not Kyoshiro!
**[05:59] Gin**
You people need to take responsibility
for creating the monster!
**[06:00] Tama**
Unfortunately, Gengai-sama
was also brainwashed.
**[06:03] Tama**
The creature is out of
the creator's control.
**[06:07] Tama**
If you intend to take him on,
**[06:08] ---**
you'll be going up against
all of your friends.
**[06:14] Tama**
First, we must help
everyone remember you.
**[06:17] Gin**
Is that possible?!
**[06:19] Tama**
While your past accomplishments
have been overwritten,
**[06:22] Tama**
the only difference is straight
hair instead of wavy,
**[06:25] Tama**
and nothing you did was changed.
**[06:29] Tama**
In other words, there
is a disconnect because
**[06:31] ---**
perfect Kintoki behaved
like a buffoon in the past.
**[06:35] Gin**
Wait, what's that supposed to mean?
**[06:37] Tama**
If we bring out that disconnect,
their memories may return.
**[06:42] Tama**
We'll need their help to defeat Kintoki.
**[06:47] Tama**
You must take back your friends.
***SIGN*** Tenny's
**[06:49] Tama**

called Sakata Gintoki.

**[06:55] Otae**
Oh, I'm very worried.
**[06:57] Otae**
Do you know where
**[06:59] ---**
Tama-san and Sadaharu-kun
may have gone?
**[07:01] Kin**
We searched the whole town with Gran,
**[07:03] ---**
but we couldn't find them.
**[07:05] Kag**
Oh, no...
**[07:06] Kag**
What if Sadaharu and
Tama don't come back?
**[07:10] Kag**
I'll... I'll...
**[07:12] Kin**
Don't worry.
**[07:13] Kin**
You couldn't kill them if you tried.
**[07:16] Kag**
Kin-chan...
**[07:18] Kin**
I'll find them. Promise.
**[07:21] Kin**
So don't look so sad.
**[07:23] Kin**
We came here to cheer you up.
**[07:26] A**
What's that, Kin-san?
**[07:29] A**
I thought you came here to see me.
**[07:31] Kin**
Oh, sorry about that.
**[07:33] Kin**
Hey, can you bring
every table a bottle?
**[07:37] Kin**
Guys, I'm buying!
**[07:39] Kin**
Drink as much as you want.
**[07:40] Kin**
In return, let us know if you see them!
**[07:43] B**
Kin-san does it again!
**[07:45] B**
You can count on us!
**[07:46] ---**
We'd do anything for you!
**[07:50] Otae**
It looks like Kin-san has
everything under control.
**[07:53] Kag**
Yep.
**[07:53] A**
Uh, please wait.
**[07:55] A**
We don't allow animals inside.
**[07:58] Tama**
As far as I'm concerned,
humans are all animals.
**[08:02] Tama**
Besides, he's a member
of Odd Jobs Sepia.
**[08:06] Tama**
Isn't that right, Master Gintoki?
**[08:10] Shin**
What are you people doing?!
**[08:12] Kag**
Sadaharu! And Tama!
**[08:13] Kag**
You're okay?!
**[08:14] Kag**
But why are you dressed like that?!
**[08:15] Tama**
We are not Tama and Sadaharu.
**[08:17] Tama**
We are Tamagura and Sadahachi
of Odd Jobs Sepia.
**[08:21] Shin**
What's the idea, Tama-san?!
**[08:22] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[08:23] Kag**
Hey! Are you the one who made
Tama and Sadaharu sepia?!
**[08:27] Gin**
Excuse me, Otae-san.
**[08:29] Gin**
I heard you had work for Odd Jobs.
**[08:31] Otae**
Huh? You mean the request to
repair the karaoke machine?
**[08:34] Otae**
But Kin-san's group is on it.
**[08:35] Gin**
You should try us instead
of those slackers.
**[08:38] Gin**
I promise that we'll be more useful.
**[08:41] Kag**
Hey! First you copy us, and
now you're stealing our work?!
**[08:45] A**
Oh, it's over here!
**[08:46] Shin**
Ah! H-Hold on!
**[08:49] Tama**
Understood?
**[08:50] Tama**
We must steal their glory
and draw attention
**[08:53] Tama**
to help them remember you.
**[08:55] Gin**
Yeah, I know. I got this, Matagura.
**[08:58] Tama**
It's Tamagura.
**[08:58] Gin**
Okay, this is it?
**[09:00] Gin**
This is a new model with all
the parts to TRA-BRYU's "Road"?
**[09:02] A**
Yes, that and 300,000 other songs.
**[09:04] Gin**
Okay, I got it.
**[09:06] Gin**
There isn't enough room here
so I'll move it over there. Upsie...
**[09:09] Gin**
Oh, sorry!
**[09:10] Gin**
The 300,000 parts to "Road" are
so heavy that I lost my grip!
**[09:13] Tama**
Master Gintoki!
**[09:14] Tama**
Calm down! It's not the
time to unleash your rage!
**[09:15] Gin**
"Road," Part One!
**[09:16] Gin**
"Road," Part Two!
**[09:17] Gin**
"Road," Part Three!
**[09:19] Gin**
Boo!
**[09:19] Shin**
Why are you talking like it's a haunted house?!
**[09:22] Shin**
Cut it out!
**[09:23] Shin**
Why do you keep doing this?!
**[09:25] Gin**
Shit, I lost control!
**[09:26] Shin**
You've completely destroyed
the karaoke machine!
**[09:28] Tama**
It's fine. He was simply preparing
this machine for me to dive inside.

**[09:43] Tama**
You still can't forget
about Mr. Steamer?
**[09:45] Gin**
*There we go! Machines on
their afternoon break!*
**[09:48] Tama**
I told you to give up on him.
**[09:50] Tama**
He's not going to leave his wife.
**[09:52] Tama**
Plus, he's been cooking it up every
night with Telly the receptionist.
**[09:57] Tama**
He's always ready to move
on to his next target.
**[10:01] Tama**
If you let that man play you,
**[10:03] ---**
it won't be long before
you're fizzled out.
**[10:06] Tama**
Oh, there's a mixer with Dyson

***SIGN*** Dyson

**[10:13] Kin**
Wait.
**[10:15] Kin**
Mr. Steamer wants to talk.
**[10:17] Gin**
*H-He can also communicate?!*
**[10:20] Kin**
Mr. Steamer was turned
off a long time ago.
**[10:24] Kin**
Ever since he returned
from a business trip
***SIGN*** Healsio
**[10:26] ---**
to find his wife cooking
it up with Healsio.
**[10:28] Kin**
After that...
**[10:30] Kin**
He turned to you and
Telly out of loneliness.
**[10:32] Kin**
But you should know well that
he can no longer cook anyone.
**[10:36] Tama**
You mean that Karaoky and
**[10:38] ---**
Mr. Steamer had a platonic relationship?
**[10:39] Kin**
When you went to the karaoke bar,
**[10:42] ---**
he felt himself get a little warm,
**[10:44] ---**
even though he wasn't turned on.
**[10:46] Tama**
He's lying! Don't be fooled!
**[10:47] Tama**
Mr. Steamer would never say that!
**[10:49] Kin**
Could you play that song for him again?
**[10:52] Tama**
Don't, Karaoky!
**[10:55] Otae**
And cry on your own...
**[10:59] Otae**
Then you'll shine bright,
**[11:01] Otae**
Ultra Soul!
**[11:03] All**
Hey!
**[11:05] Shin**
Way to go, Kin-san!
**[11:06] Shin**
You always come through!
**[11:07] Kag**
I'm up next!
**[11:08] Kag**
Let me sing!
**[11:13] Kyu**
As you can see, after
I gave him a scolding,
**[11:16] ---**
he's refusing to come down.
**[11:18] Kyu**
I'm not sure what to do,
so I went to you.
**[11:20] Gin**
Okay, okay. I got this one.
**[11:21] Gin**
*Rise of the Planet of the Apes*, right?
**[11:24] Gin**
We can handle this.
**[11:25] Shin**
Hey!
**[11:25] Shin**
Cut it out already!
**[11:26] Shin**
Can you stop butting in?!
**[11:28] Gin**
*Damn! This time, I'm
going to steal the show!*
**[11:35] Gin**
Sadahachi's on the move!
***SIGN*** Translation: So what's wrong? You look blue.

Dogs and monkeys just don't get along!
**[11:42] Kin**
That's enough.
**[11:44] Kin**
I don't know what you were
saying, but I can say this.
**[11:49] Kin**
I understand you.
**[11:51] Kag**
Wow, Kin-chan! You were instantly
able to understand him!
**[11:53] Gin**
Hold on!
**[11:54] Gin**
That's not Kin-san!
**[11:56] Gin**
That's not the Odd Jobs leader!
**[11:57] Gin**

**[12:19] Tsu**
Apparently, her favorite customer
was stolen by a harlot.
**[12:23] Tsu**
I'll never understand romantic
affairs. It's beyond me.
**[12:27] Gin**
I'm feeling blue.
**[12:29] Gin**
I'd like to be alone,
so can you go away?
**[12:31] Shin**
There's someone who's completely blue!
***SIGN*** Green Tea
**[12:34] Kin**
Calm down.
**[12:35] Kin**
Care to join me for a
drink before you die?
**[12:38] Shin**
Kin-san's also up there!
**[12:39] Tama**
*Master Gintoki, this is
a direct showdown!*
**[12:41] Tama**
*You can't lose!*
**[12:44] Sa**
Stay back! Leave me alone!
**[12:46] Kin**
If you wanted to be left alone, you
wouldn't try to die in public.
**[12:50] Gin**
She just wanted to see the
gloomy sky one last time.
**[12:52] Gin**
Gloomy as I feel inside.
**[12:54] Shin**
The other guy's not even
trying to persuade her!
**[12:56] Shin**
He might jump first!
**[12:57] Kin**
Let it out.
**[12:59] Kin**
It's easier to talk to
strangers sometimes.
**[13:01] Gin**
You can't help me...
**[13:03] Kin**
He's not talking to you!
**[13:04] Tsu**
Then I'll hear you out!
**[13:06] Tsu**
Start talking!
**[13:07] Shin**
You're not part of this either!
**[13:09] Sa**
Um, this may sound
strange coming from me,
**[13:10] ---**
but I believe you should let
everything out before you die.
**[13:12] Shin**
You too?!
**[13:14] C**
Yeah, bro! Tell us what's
wrong! Cheer up!
**[13:16] D**
Don't give up!
**[13:17] Shin**
Wait!
**[13:18] Shin**
Hey, who's helping who here?!
**[13:20] Gin**
Shut up! Don't be nice to me!
**[13:22] Gin**
I'm gonna cry!
**[13:24] Gin**
I'm glad I met some total strangers who
**[13:27] ---**
actually cared about a loser like me.
**[13:32] C**
Wait, bro!
**[13:33] Tama**
*No.*
**[13:34] Tama**
*Jumpers are usually so worked
up about their own problems*
**[13:37] ---**
*that they don't pay
attention to other people.*
**[13:39] Tama**
*But if they see someone more
unfortunate than themselves,*
**[13:44] Tama**
*they will hesitate.*
**[13:46] Tama**
*He's faking it!*
**[13:48] Tama**
*Silver can decipher
human emotion in a way*
**[13:50] ---**
*that the golden machine cannot!*
**[13:52] Gin**
Oh, sorry!
**[13:53] Gin**
My heart's so heavy that
I slipped and fell!
**[13:56] Sa**
Stop!
**[13:57] Sa**
What are you doing to Kin-san?!
**[14:00] Gin**
*I-It's you?!*
**[14:05] Sa**
I just wanted Kin-san to
give me some attention!
**[14:08] Gin**
Sa—
**[14:09] Kin**
Gintoki, you're finished now—
**[14:19] Tam**
Master Gintoki!
**[14:25] Shin**
That was crazy!
**[14:29] Gin**
It wasn't crazy.
**[14:31] Gin**
I knew you'd be there for me.

When I saw him falling,
my body moved by itself.
**[15:00] Tama**
Master Gintoki! Sa-chan-sama!
**[15:02] Tama**
Are you hurt?
**[15:04] Gin**
Yeah, her head's a little funny,
but it always has been.
**[15:07] Gin**
We're fine.
**[15:08] Tama**
Shinpachi-sama, Kagura-sama.
**[15:10] Tama**
Thank you very much.
**[15:12] Tama**
You've finally remembered Master Gintoki.
**[15:16] Both**
Huh?
**[15:18] Shin**
What do you mean?
**[15:22] Gin**
It's okay, Tama.
**[15:24] Gin**
That's how they are.
**[15:25] Gin**
It doesn't matter who I am.
**[15:29] Gin**
They'll move without thinking
to save someone in trouble.
**[15:32] Gin**
They can't stand around when
something bad is going down.
**[15:35] Gin**
They move without considering
the consequences.
**[15:38] Gin**
Those are the kind of
fools who join Odd Jobs.
**[15:43] Gin**
They haven't forgotten that.
**[15:45] Gin**
That's all I needed to know.
**[15:47] Gin**
As long as they've got that,
**[15:48] ---**
it doesn't matter who the leader is.
**[15:51] Kag**
Master Gintoki!
**[15:52] Gin**
You saved my life, kids.
**[15:55] Gin**
Well, yeah...
**[15:57] Gin**
I guess.
**[15:59] Gin**
Thanks for everything.
**[16:03] Gin**
Take care, Odd Jobs.
**[16:08] Kag**
Why did he look so sad?
**[16:13] Kag**
Why do we feel so unhappy?
**[16:17] Kag**
It's like we've forgotten
something important.
**[16:20] Kag**
Like we threw away an ice cream carton
lid without licking it first.
**[16:25] Shin**
Kagura-chan...
**[16:27] Shin**
Wouldn't that just be garbage?
**[16:32] Otae**
That's right, and then he used
**[16:34] ---**
the karaoke machine to hit
Kin-san in the head.
**[16:36] Kyu**
Oh, so he was acting the
same when you saw him.
**[16:40] Otae**
He's such a strange person.
**[16:42] Kyu**
Yes.
**[16:45] Otae**
Oddly enough, this seems so familiar.
**[16:49] Otae**
Didn't we used to laugh like this before?
**[16:52] Kyu**
Don't we laugh all the time?
**[16:54] Otae**
I'm having fun now, too.
**[16:56] Otae**
But something seems different.
**[16:58] Otae**
It feels like something's missing.
**[17:01] Kyu**
What's that?
**[17:03] Otae**
I don't know...
**[17:06] Otae**
But if I had to describe this feeling,
**[17:08] Otae**
it's like I've dropped a glove
in the middle of the road.

You should take better

**[17:16] Sa**
I wasn't planning on dying!
**[17:19] Sa**
Besides, Tsu-ki, this
wouldn't have happened
**[17:21] ---**
if you hadn't put moves on Kin-san!
**[17:22] Tsu**
When have I ever put moves on him?!
**[17:24] Tsu**
That would be you!
**[17:26] Tsu**
Honestly, what would have
happened if that guy wasn't there?
**[17:29] Tsu**
In any case, he was crazy.
**[17:32] Tsu**
That was beyond reckless.
**[17:33] Sa**
Tsu-ki, something's wrong with me.
**[17:36] Tsu**
Yes, I know.
**[17:36] Sa**
No, that's not what I meant.
**[17:39] Sa**
I wanted to thank him,
**[17:41] ---**
but my chest started to
hurt and I couldn't speak.
**[17:44] Sa**
This feeling couldn't be...
**[17:45] Sa**
I'm not cheating on Kin-san, right?
**[17:47] Sa**
I'm okay, right?
**[17:48] Tsu**
No, you're not okay.
**[17:49] Sa**
Seriously, that's not what I meant.
**[17:51] Sa**
I was wondering why I would
be attracted to this loser.
**[17:55] Tsu**
Yes, you're guilty.
**[17:56] Sa**
Can you drop it already, bitch!
**[17:59] Hino**
That means you're attracted
to men who fail.
**[18:01] Hino**
You're in for a hard life.
**[18:02] Sa**
You're in no position to talk!
**[18:03] Hino**
But I understand what you're saying.
**[18:07] Hino**
Kin-san is a wonderful person,
but he used to be more...
**[18:11] Sa**
What? You've made me curious.
**[18:14] Hino**
Then you have to promise
to keep this a secret.
**[18:17] Hino**
He used to be more complex,
with a peculiar charisma.
**[18:22] Tsu**
What's that mean, Hinowa?
**[18:24] Hino**
Kind of like...

No, nothing happened.

At least nothing happened!
**[18:41] Zura**
This seems so familiar.
**[18:43] Zura**
Didn't we used to laugh like this before?
**[18:45] Madao**
No, we barely ever talk.
**[18:47] Zura**
But it feels like something's missing.
**[18:50] Zura**
I feel like there was

**[18:53] Madao**
Are you talking about Elizabeth?
**[18:54] Zura**
No, when I was out of work,

I killed time by partying
with that really fun guy.
**[19:01] Madao**
Huh? Who are you talking about?
**[19:02] Zura**

We went to an island together.
Can't remember his name...

Nothing.
**[19:28] Gin**
You think I'm going to ditch
all of this and leave?
**[19:32] Gin**
Want me to be honest?
**[19:34] Gin**
The hard feelings are gone.
**[19:37] Gin**
He did a pretty good job
after stealing my place.
**[19:41] Gin**
He cares about his friends
and does good work.
**[19:43] Gin**
He kept everyone safe while I was gone.
**[19:47] Gin**
His past is a lie, but his present is real.
**[19:51] Gin**
If that's the ideal leader you wanted,
**[19:56] ---**
is it worth taking all of that away
**[19:59] Gin**
for me to return?
**[20:01] Gin**
I have to wonder.
**[20:03] Tama**
Master Gintoki...
**[20:06] Gin**
That's why I've made up my mind.
**[20:10] Gin**
I want you to promise me something.
**[20:12] Gin**
No matter what happens to me,
**[20:14] Gin**
even if I fall,
**[20:16] Gin**
you won't lay a hand on them.
**[20:19] Gin**
In return, I'll also make a promise.
**[20:21] Gin**
Even if my friends want my head,
**[20:23] Gin**
even if I have no home,
**[20:26] Gin**
I will take them back.
**[20:28] Gin**
The truth may be harsh,
**[20:30] Gin**
but that's the world we've built.
**[20:34] Gin**
Tama, don't insult me.
**[20:37] Gin**
You stayed on my side through it all.
**[20:40] Gin**
You think I'm going to
run away and let you
**[20:43] ---**
live in this strange world alone?
**[20:46] Gin**
I'm not going to ditch anyone.
**[20:50] Tama**
Master Gintoki...
**[20:53] Tama**
Then let's call it a day.
**[20:55] Tama**
I need a pillow to charge, so
I'll be heading back to the bar.
**[20:59] Tama**
You'll have to find a place
to sleep by yourself.
**[21:00] Gin**
You're ditching me?!
**[21:02] Gin**
Hey! Kintoki knows that
you're on my side!
**[21:05] Gin**
Be careful!
**[21:06] Tama**
Master Gintoki, I've realized that
you will always be yourself.
**[21:11] Tama**
Did you think I would be angry
if you wanted to run away?
**[21:17] Tama**
I wouldn't be angry.
**[21:19] Tama**
Not if you took me with you.
**[21:23] Gin**
Hey, where did you learn that act?
**[21:27] Tama**
From the K-drama

Okay, I'll add it to my data

Otose-sama needed me to run an errand.
**[02:25] Kin**
You're pretty slow for a robot.
**[02:28] Kin**
Why don't you stop meddling
**[02:31] ---**
and go get some maintenance done?
**[02:33] Tama**
Master Gintoki would never be
so forceful with a woman.
**[02:37] Kin**
That's why he can't score any girls.
**[02:38] Kin**
I've overcome that weakness of his.
**[02:41] Kin**
Since you're refusing my advances,
**[02:44] Kin**
and now that people
are starting to talk,
**[02:48] Kin**
I won't spare my ace.
**[02:49] Kin**
Be a good girl and listen to me.
**[02:51] Kin**
You should know.
**[02:53] Kin**
It's better for everyone
when I'm in charge.
**[02:59] Tama**
You're just a piece of junk.
**[03:02] Tama**
If you can't even say
"I won't spare my *rod*"
**[03:06] Tama**
so it turns into a dirty joke,
**[03:08] Tama**
you'll never be better
than Master Gintoki.
**[03:11] Kin**
I've already used my rod.
**[03:17] Kin**
Damn, you're using some old oil.
**[03:22] Kin**
That explains why you can't
understand what I'm saying.
**[03:27] Kin**
Don't blame me.
**[03:28] Kin**
I have to eliminate all loose cannons.
**[03:32] Kin**
I will win the hearts of every
citizen and unite the team
**[03:35] Kin**
so I can lay down my
roots all over this town.
**[03:38] Kin**
That is the mission I've been given.
**[03:41] Kin**
Don't worry.
**[03:43] Kin**
The dog and Gintoki will
suffer the same fate.
**[03:46] Kin**
I'll erase your existence
from everyone's memory.
**[03:49] Tama**
Master Gintoki can't be erased.
**[03:52] Tama**
Your weak points were in
the instruction manual.
**[03:55] Tama**
You will no longer be able
to brainwash anyone.
**[03:58] Tama**
If your mission is to erase
Master Gintoki and replace him,
**[04:03] Tama**
my mission is to live
**[04:05] ---**
with Master Gintoki and his
friends until I perish.
**[04:10] Kin**
Really? Too bad then.
**[04:14] Kin**
Why don't you ask your Gin-san to
come now, in your final moments?
**[04:17] Tama**
Master Gintoki...
**[04:20] Kin**
Your worthless leader can't hear you
**[04:24] Kin**
if you whisper in such a puny voice.
**[04:28] Tama**
You are just
**[04:33] Tama**
a piece of
**[04:37] Tama**
junk.
**[04:40] Tama**
Master Gintoki is
**[04:43] Tama**
far more sadistic.
**[04:55] Gin**
H-Hey! Hang in there, Tama!
**[04:58] Gin**
Can you... Can you see me?!
**[05:00] Gin**
Hold on!
**[05:01] Gin**
I'll take you to old Gengai!
**[05:04] Gin**
I don't care if he's brainwashed!
**[05:06] Gin**
I'll crush his balls to get

**[05:08] Gin**
So hang in there!
**[05:10] Gin**
Give me some time, Tama!
**[05:12] Gin**
Hey, Tama! Say something!
**[05:14] Gin**
Hey! You promised!
**[05:17] Gin**
You said you would
always be on my side!

Machines aren't supposed to lie!
**[05:21] Gin**
Every homeless person needs
a dog and a loud radio!
**[05:25] Tama**
I'm sorry. I lied.
**[05:29] Tama**
It wasn't from a K-drama...
**[05:34] Tama**
It was the smoke shop owner
**[05:36] ---**
who dropped by from time to time.
**[05:39] Gin**
That doesn't matter!
**[05:41] Tama**
Please save my data.
**[05:44] Gin**
Yeah, I will!
**[05:45] Tama**
When I go to sleep...
**[05:46] Gin**
Hold the reset button while
turning off the power!
**[05:49] Tama**
Then I will never forget...
**[05:52] Tama**
About you, about everyone...
**[05:55] Tama**
About the rent you owe...
**[05:57] Gin**
You can forget that part.
**[06:00] Tama**
So could you let me have one
last look at your face?
**[06:05] Gin**
Don't say that stuff!
**[06:08] Gin**
Tama!
**[06:09] Gin**
Wake up!
**[06:10] Gin**
Open your eyes!
**[06:11] Gin**
Open them!
**[06:13] ---**
Got it!
**[06:15] Tama**
I got a rare shot of
Master Gintoki crying.
**[06:18] Gin**
What kind of setting is
that for playing dead?!
**[06:21] Tama**
That's a pathetic sight
to remember you by.
**[06:24] Gin**
Y-Yeah...
**[06:26] Gin**
So forget you ever saw that.
**[06:28] Gin**

You mean Odd Jobs Kin-san?
**[07:40] Kin**
Tama was taken out.
**[07:42] Kin**
And my balls were literally taken out.
**[07:44] Kin**
I have to make him pay.
**[07:47] Kin**
This isn't a matter of
honor or reputation.
**[07:49] Kin**
I'm willing to use any dirty tricks to
**[07:51] ---**
chase him down so I
can avenge our friend.
**[07:56] Kin**
So can you guys lend me a hand?
**[08:00] Kin**
I will use all the power I have
throughout the Kabuki district
**[08:04] Kin**
to bring down Sakata Gintoki.
**[08:08] B**
It was a dumb move to hurt
one of Kin-san's friends.
***SIGN*** If you see this man, please contact
**[08:12] B**
He's basically antagonized
the entire Kabuki district.
***SIGN*** Doll House
**[08:16] Mada**
Well, let me know if
anything comes up, Gramps.
**[08:18] Gen**
How am I supposed to contact a
person who doesn't have a phone?
**[08:22] Mada**
Write XYZ on the bulletin
board by the station.
**[08:24] Gen**
Don't bring City Hunter into this.
**[08:26] Mada**
Anyway, be careful.
**[08:27] Mada**
He's got a grudge against Kin-san.
**[08:30] Mada**
We don't know what he'll
do to Kin-san's friends.
**[08:34] Gen**
Hammer.
**[08:36] Gen**
You sure about this?
**[08:38] Gen**
That was your chance to split
the head of one of his allies.
**[08:41] Gin**
Oh, I'll split heads.
**[08:42] Gin**
If you tell me
**[08:44] ---**
that you can't fix my friend.
**[08:46] Gin**
What about you?
**[08:48] Gin**
You're sheltering an enemy.
**[08:50] Gen**
Nobody would break Tama,
then ask me to repair her.
**[08:55] Gen**
Besides, I know that humans
are easily swayed.
**[09:00] Gen**
A machine's soul is harder than steel.
**[09:05] Gen**
Tama trusted you, so I
have to do the same.
**[09:10] Gin**
Stupid old man.
**[09:11] Gin**
That's why you were
**[09:13] ---**
brainwashed by your own piece of junk.
**[09:16] Gen**
Coming from a main character who
**[09:18] ---**
was usurped by that piece of junk.
**[09:20] Gen**
What do you plan on doing?
**[09:21] Gen**
That piece of junk has the
Kabuki district locked down.
**[09:25] Gin**
Doesn't matter.
**[09:27] Gin**
There's only one thing for me to do.
**[09:29] Gen**
You'll be fighting against
your former friends.
**[09:31] Gen**
They're the hardest
foes you'll ever face.
**[09:34] Gen**
That's the point of this trap.
**[09:37] Gen**
You don't have a chance.
**[09:40] Gin**
That would be the logical conclusion.
**[09:42] Gin**
Unfortunately, we beasts and animals
aren't very good at quantification.
**[09:48] Gin**
Sadaharu, we're down to one
person and one animal.
**[09:52] Gin**
Is one plus one two?
**[09:55] Gin**
Right.
**[09:58] Gin**
We'll never be just two.
**[10:02] Gen**
Can't quantify human emotion, eh?
**[10:06] Gen**
Reckless, foolhardy, rash.
**[10:08] Gen**
That's what you're about to do.
**[10:09] Gen**
But it's possible that
could be his weakness.
**[10:15] Gen**
He was created to be perfect, so
he can't understand an unpredictable
**[10:21] Gen**
and unquantifiable fool like
you, Sakata Gintoki.
**[10:25] Gen**
I guess I forgot to give him the most
**[10:29] ---**
important quality a leader needs.
**[10:32] Gen**
I have to stop him.
**[10:34] Gin**
Idiot plus two.
**[10:35] ---**
You're on board now, old man.
**[10:37] Gen**
Yeah, and I promise to bring
another idiot with me.
**[10:41] Gen**
So Gin-boy, don't let
yourself become zero.
**[10:46] Gen**
You're the only one
who can stop Kintoki.
**[11:01] Tojo**
Find him!
**[11:03] Tojo**
We must punish the villain who
injured our lady's friend!
**[11:06] Tojo**
Curses, where is he hiding?!
**[11:09] Tojo**
Could it be...?!
***SIGN*** Costume Play
**[11:12] Tojo**
I have no choice!
**[11:13] Tojo**
I must search every
single establishment!
**[11:16] Tojo**
The rest of you go that way!
**[11:18] Tojo**
I'm going in!
**[11:20] Kyu**
Where do you think you're going?
***SIGN*** The Fast Samurai
**[11:21] Tojo**
Lady! Do not stop me!
**[11:23] Tojo**
It's time to take off!
**[11:24] Tojo**
The flight attendants
are waiting for me!
**[11:26] Kyu**
And you call yourself a warrior?
**[11:28] Kyu**
There are others around.
**[11:30] Kyu**
Don't embarrass me.
**[11:31] Zura**
I have witnessed the
shame of the Yagyu!
**[11:35] Zura**
Kyubei-dono, you're too late!
**[11:37] Zura**
We've already checked the
cosplay establishments!
**[11:40] Zura**
I don't have a single leg hair left!
**[11:41] Zura**
Attention please!
**[11:43] Tojo**
Uh, you're the one who
should be ashamed!
**[11:45] Zura**
A true warrior would send his
leg hair flying for a friend!
**[11:48] Tojo**
Wait, why are you providing service?!
**[11:52] Zura**
I'm using myself as bait
to draw in the enemy!
**[11:55] Tojo**
You won't get him!
**[11:56] Tojo**
You'd only get a UMA that way!
**[11:58] A**
Boss, we found someone!
**[12:00] Tojo**
Wh-What?!
**[12:02] Tsu**
Well? Interested in
working in Yoshiwara?
**[12:05] Tojo**
He landed someone!
**[12:06] Tojo**
He landed someone
completely unexpected!
**[12:08] Tojo**
I'm in no position to criticize,
**[12:10] ---**
but why are you people even here?!
**[12:11] Tsu**
Sorry, I'm not familiar
with the customs up here.
**[12:14] Mada**
Found ya!
**[12:15] Mada**
You little cutie, you!
**[12:16] ---**
And then we... pan!
**[12:18] Tojo**
What kind of dirty business are
you trying to pull here?!
**[12:22] Tojo**
Cut it out already!
**[12:24] Tojo**
I'm supposed to be the one
acting like an idiot,
**[12:26] ---**
but I haven't gotten a chance!
**[12:27] Tojo**
Say something, Lady!
**[12:30] Kyu**
Sorry, it was my fault.
**[12:33] Tojo**
Lady...
**[12:35] Tojo**
Pull yourself together!
**[12:36] Tojo**
What's wrong with everyone?
**[12:39] Otae**
We're hesitating.
**[12:41] Tojo**
Otae-dono...
**[12:42] Otae**
We're not sure what to do.
**[12:45] Otae**
Something feels off about
Kin-san's request.
**[12:49] Otae**
What Kin-san is saying doesn't
match what we've seen.
**[12:54] Otae**
He didn't look like someone
who would hurt Tama-san.
**[12:58] Otae**
Especially after he risked his own life
**[13:01] ---**
to save Sarutobi-san,
a complete stranger.
**[13:05] Tojo**
Y-You don't trust Kintoki-dono?
**[13:09] Otae**
I trust him.
**[13:10] Otae**
But that's why we're confused.
**[13:13] Otae**
We don't understand why Kin-san
would ask us to do this.
**[13:18] Otae**
Of course, we're happy
that he trusts us.
**[13:21] Otae**
But Kin-san...
**[13:23] Otae**
The Sakata Kintoki I
know wasn't so open.
**[13:29] Otae**
He never said a word
when there was trouble.
**[13:33] Otae**
He would always sneak off by himself.
**[13:38] Otae**
It didn't matter how many
enemies there were.
**[13:42] Otae**
He would show up with a smirk
while picking his nose...
**[13:46] Tojo**
U-Up there!
**[13:51] Gin**
Yo, what's up?
**[13:53] Gin**
Why are you looking at the sky?
**[13:54] Gin**
Is there a solar eclipse?
**[13:56] A**
How dare you show your face here?!
**[13:59] A**
I'll only ask you once!
**[14:00] A**
Were you the one who hurt Tama-dono?!
**[14:03] Gin**
If that's what your golden god says,
**[14:06] ---**
you're free to believe him.
**[14:09] Gin**
I'm here to flick a booger at him.
**[14:18] B**
Go! Grab him!
**[14:23] Gin**
Sadaharu...
**[14:24] ---**
You haven't forgotten
our promise, right?
**[14:27] Gin**
Don't look back, no
matter what happens.
**[14:31] Gin**
Just run forward.
**[14:32] Gin**
You don't need to worry.
**[14:35] Gin**
This is business as usual.
**[14:37] Gin**
Let's go back home
**[14:40] Gin**
where they are.
**[14:46] Zura**
What?!
**[14:46] Zura**
He's running straight
through enemy lines?!
**[14:48] B**
After him! Don't let him get away!
**[14:50] Zura**
Wait! Don't hurt Sadaharu-kun!
**[14:52] Zura**
Furry paws can do no evil!
Aim for the guy!
**[14:55] B**
B-But he's bouncing around
like he's at the rodeo!
**[14:58] B**
It's hard to get a read on him!
**[15:00] Gin**
*Don't look back, no
matter what happens.*
**[15:03] Gin**
*Just run forward.*
**[15:05] Gin**
*Let's go back home*
**[15:07] Gin**
*where they are.*
**[15:17] Tsu**
That was an obvious decoy.
**[15:18] Tsu**
Did you really think we
would fall for that?
**[15:22] Gin**
I'm the decoy.
**[15:24] Gin**
And as expected, I landed the big fish.
**[15:27] Tsu**
Drop your sword.
**[15:29] Tsu**
Come with me and—
**[15:30] Gin**
Sure.
**[15:33] Gin**
I dropped my sword.
**[15:34] Gin**
Is it my turn to make a request then?
**[15:37] Gin**
Can you move out of the way?
**[15:39] Gin**
Once it's all over, you can drag
me to hell or the bedroom.
**[15:42] Tsu**
Wh-What? Do you take me for a fool?
**[15:44] A**
Boss!
**[15:44] Tsu**
Wait!
**[15:46] Sa**
Don't move!
**[15:47] Sa**
Don't touch him.
**[15:51] Sa**
He's my target.
**[15:52] Tsu**
I told you to stay out
of this, Sarutobi.
**[15:56] Sa**
You think I can't kill a
man who saved my life?
**[16:01] Sa**
Laughable.
**[16:02] ---**
I won't let you hog all the glory
**[16:04] ---**
and win points with Kin-san.
**[16:06] Sa**
This job is too big for you.
**[16:09] Sa**
I'll take his life after he saved mine.
**[16:13] Sa**
That's the kind of dirty
job I specialize in.
**[16:17] Tsu**
Sarutobi...
**[16:18] Sa**
Out of my way, Tsu-ki.
**[16:20] Sa**
There's no reason for you
to get your hands dirty.
**[16:24] Kyu**
I understand that everyone is unsure.
**[16:27] Kyu**
Should we trust Kintoki
**[16:28] ---**
or trust what we've seen of this man?
**[16:31] Kyu**
However, this job
requires firm resolve.
**[16:34] ---**
You should stand down!
**[16:35] Tsu**
What's that?
**[16:37] Tsu**
I found him first. I'll do this.
**[16:40] Sa**
Get lost. I've got it covered.
**[16:42] Kyu**
The two of you can't handle this.
**[16:44] Kyu**
Let me take care of it.
**[16:45] Tsu**
I can do this!
**[16:47] Sa**
I've got this!
**[16:48] Kyu**
I'll kill him!
**[16:48] Tsu**
I will!
**[16:49] Sa**
No, me!
**[16:50] Kyu**
I got this!
**[16:50] Tsu**
I do!
**[16:51] Sa**
No, me!
**[16:51] Kyu**
Me!
**[16:52] Tsu**
No, me!
**[16:52] ---**
Me!
**[16:53] ---**
No, me!
**[16:53] ---**
Me!
**[16:54] Sa**
Blah!
**[16:54] Sa**
You've got me all mixed up now!
**[16:54] Gin**
Um, you're being very
considerate of each other,
**[16:59] Gin**
but you're not being
considerate of me at all.
**[17:02] Kyu**
Okay, we'll all take turns sticking
our blades in this barrel.
**[17:06] Kyu**
The person who lands the
final blow gets credit.
**[17:08] Gin**
That'd be a lynching!
**[17:10] Gin**
Heh, I guess I
wouldn't mind having
**[17:13] ---**
three beauties around when I die.
**[17:15] Gin**
But you don't need to feel
guilty about my death.
**[17:19] Gin**
Why don't you all wear blindfolds
and pretend you're trying to
**[17:23] ---**
smash a watermelon
when you aim for me?
**[17:25] Gin**
This way, you won't know who was
the killer, so there's no guilt.
**[17:29] Sa**
Why are you still trying to help us?
**[17:33] Gin**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:34] Gin**
Well, hold on while I bury myself.
**[17:38] Tsu**
Wait!
**[17:39] All**
I don't think so!
**[17:41] Tsu**
After him!
**[17:42] Tsu**
Don't let him get away!
**[17:54] Tsu**
Now!
**[17:54] Tsu**
Fire!
**[17:58] A**
Boss!
**[18:06] Gin**
Upsie-daisy.
**[18:08] A**
Boss! Boss! Are you okay?
**[18:12] Tsu**
W-Wait!
**[18:15] Tsu**
What do you think you're doing?
**[18:18] Gin**
No idea what you mean.
**[18:21] Gin**
See ya.
**[18:24] Gin**
*Sorry to keep you waiting.*
**[18:27] Tsu**
Wait!
**[18:28] Tsu**
Stop!
**[18:30] Tsu**
Are you...
**[18:33] C**
Got him!
**[18:35] C**
Now, guys!
**[18:36] C**
I got him!
**[18:38] ---**
Bastards!

Wait a second...
**[20:02] Sa**
Didn't you hear me tell you to wait?
**[20:11] Sa**
What are you trying to do?
**[20:13] Sa**
Who are you fighting?
**[20:17] Tsu**
You can barely hold a sword, so why...
**[20:20] Kyu**
It almost seems that
you aren't fighting us,
**[20:23] ---**
but protecting us.
**[20:24] Gin**
Looks like...
**[20:26] Gin**
I underestimated this town.
**[20:29] Gin**
We got a whole crowd out in force
to avenge one person.
**[20:34] Gin**
Look at me now.
**[20:36] Gin**
But I have to admit that
I feel pretty good.
**[20:40] Gin**
This town is a good place.
**[20:51] Sa**
Step away.
**[20:53] Sa**
I'm going to kill this man.
**[20:56] Tsu**
You should listen to me.
**[20:59] Tsu**
I'll do this.
**[21:01] Kyu**
Why won't either of you back away?
**[21:04] Kyu**
Please... Go away...
**[21:08] Sa**
Not when you have that
look on your face...

Lady...
**[21:14] B**
Boss...
**[21:16] Kin**
What's this?
**[21:17] Kin**
Making women cry?
**[21:19] Kin**
You're a real piece of work.
**[21:21] Kin**
But don't worry.
**[21:24] Kin**
I'm here to wipe your ass.
**[21:27] Kin**
It's time to settle up.
**[21:29] Kin**
Pay attention, guys.
**[21:30] Kin**
This is the last moment of
the Kabuki district's enemy.
**[21:36] Kin**
You're finished,
**[21:39] Kin**
Gintoki.
**[21:42] Tsu**
Don't take another step.
**[21:45] Kin**
What's this about?
**[21:47] Tsu**
You girls are too stubborn for me.
**[21:51] Tsu**
I'm not going to try to stop you.
**[21:53] Tsu**
Instead...
**[21:54] Sa**
I won't try to stop you either
**[21:56] Sa**
since we're thinking the same thing.
**[21:59] Kyu**
My memories are a jumble right now,
**[22:02] ---**
so I can't know if I should
trust gold or silver.
**[22:06] Kyu**
So instead, I choose to trust...
**[22:09] Kyu**
...the tears of a friend.

Kintoki, we trusted you.

That's why we're here.

So trust us.
**[00:50] Tsu**
This man isn't what you think he is.
**[00:53] Sa**
The Kin-san I know would back off.
**[00:58] All**
If you consider us friends...
**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,
**[01:20] Kin**
you're an enemy of this town,
**[01:21] ---**
an enemy of the Kabuki district!
**[01:25] Kyu**
I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**
That man is...
**[02:35] Kyu**
That idiot is...
**[02:36] Tsu**
That lazy ass is...
**[02:38] Sa**
That sadist is...
**[02:43] All**
Our friend, Sakata Gintoki.
**[02:49] Tojo**
Huh?
**[02:50] Tojo**
I-I kind of went with the flow,
but I can't remember a thing.
**[02:53] Gin**
Y-You guys are...
***SIGN*** Middle School Class Reunion
**[02:58] Zura**
Yo, it's been forever.
You been doing okay?
**[03:01] Mada**
You still look like a
loser. Have a drink.
**[03:04] Gin**
...acting all friendly and mature
at our class reunion as though
**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me
when we were kids.
**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*

Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**

***SIGN*** Wham!

Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**

**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.

...I'll feel like that pathetic
left-out boy who
**[00:39] ---**
ends up in a group of girls
out of sympathy!
**[00:43] Kyu**
Kintoki, we trusted you.
**[00:46] Kyu**
That's why we're here.
**[00:48] Tsu**
So trust us.
**[00:50] Tsu**
This man isn't what you think he is.
**[00:53] Sa**
The Kin-san I know would back off.
**[00:58] All**
If you consider us friends...
**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,
**[01:20] Kin**
you're an enemy of this town,
**[01:21] ---**
an enemy of the Kabuki district!
**[01:25] Kyu**
I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**
That man is...
**[02:35] Kyu**
That idiot is...
**[02:36] Tsu**
That lazy ass is...
**[02:38] Sa**
That sadist is...
**[02:43] All**
Our friend, Sakata Gintoki.
**[02:49] Tojo**
Huh?
**[02:50] Tojo**
I-I kind of went with the flow,
but I can't remember a thing.
**[02:53] Gin**
Y-You guys are...
***SIGN*** Middle School Class Reunion
**[02:58] Zura**
Yo, it's been forever.
You been doing okay?
**[03:01] Mada**
You still look like a
loser. Have a drink.
**[03:04] Gin**
...acting all friendly and mature
at our class reunion as though
**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me
when we were kids.
**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*
**[15:36] Toki**
Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day

***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!

...I'll feel like that pathetic

Kintoki, we trusted you.

That's why we're here.

So trust us.
**[00:50] Tsu**
This man isn't what you think he is.
**[00:53] Sa**
The Kin-san I know would back off.
**[00:58] All**
If you consider us friends...
**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,
**[01:20] Kin**
you're an enemy of this town,

an enemy of the Kabuki district!
**[01:25] Kyu**
I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**
That man is...
**[02:35] Kyu**
That idiot is...
**[02:36] Tsu**
That lazy ass is...
**[02:38] Sa**
That sadist is...
**[02:43] All**
Our friend, Sakata Gintoki.
**[02:49] Tojo**
Huh?
**[02:50] Tojo**
I-I kind of went with the flow,
but I can't remember a thing.
**[02:53] Gin**
Y-You guys are...
***SIGN*** Middle School Class Reunion
**[02:58] Zura**
Yo, it's been forever.
You been doing okay?
**[03:01] Mada**
You still look like a
loser. Have a drink.
**[03:04] Gin**
...acting all friendly and mature
at our class reunion as though
**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me
when we were kids.
**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated

Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*

*Is it truly...*

**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!

What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*

*I can no longer...*

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

You're late on your first day.

**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!
***SIGN*** Gintama
**[22:08] All**

If you consider us friends...

I suppose you're representing

**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town

**[01:16] Tojo**

If you're taking that man's side,

I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**

**[02:49] Tojo**

**[02:50] Tojo**
I-I kind of went with the flow,
but I can't remember a thing.
**[02:53] Gin**
Y-You guys are...

**[02:58] Zura**
Yo, it's been forever.

You still look like a

**[03:04] Gin**
...acting all friendly and mature
at our class reunion as though
**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me
when we were kids.
**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.

Sakata-kun promised to

He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will

Oops, I screwed up!

This is...

Don't touch it!

If the main character of

his only unique feature,

Sakata-kun will no longer be

Teach!

Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!

For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!

Look out! There's a

**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!

I suppose you're representing

**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town

I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**
That man is...

...acting all friendly and mature

**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me

**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,

we now had trannies and women bitching.

...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai

**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*
**[15:36] Toki**
Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day
at my new school!
***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!
***SIGN*** Gintama
**[22:08] All**

If you consider us friends...
**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,

I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**

...acting all friendly and mature

**[03:08] ---**
you never shunned me

**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** Be sure to watch Mantama in a well-lit room
and sit some distance from the TV!
**[13:53] Kin**
There was a time, long ago, when our
**[13:55] ---**
country was called by that name.
***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*
**[15:36] Toki**
Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day
at my new school!
***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!

If you consider us friends...
**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,
**[01:20] Kin**
you're an enemy of this town,

**[01:25] Kyu**
I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**
That friend is...
**[02:33] Mada**

you never shunned me

**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

There was a time, long ago, when our

country was called by that name.
***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*
**[15:36] Toki**
Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day
at my new school!
***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!

**[01:04] Kin**
I see.
**[01:05] Kin**
I suppose you're representing
the Yagyu and Hyakka.
**[01:11] Kin**
Get out of this town
**[01:14] Kin**
with Gintoki.
**[01:16] Tojo**
Kintoki-dono?!
**[01:17] Kin**
If you're taking that man's side,

I see.
**[01:26] Kyu**
Is that your answer?
**[01:39] Zura**
In that case...
**[01:39] Both**
We also have our answer.
**[01:43] Kin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[01:46] Kin**
Women are quick to betray you,
**[01:48] Kin**
but men are supposed to have honor.
**[01:52] Kin**
Aren't we frien—
**[01:53] Zura**
We're friends.
**[01:54] Mada**
No doubt about it.
**[01:56] Zura**
Kintoki, I once made a
promise with a friend.
**[02:00] Zura**
*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll
be there to cut you down.*
**[02:07] Mada**
Kin-san, a buddy of mine
used to smack me around.
**[02:11] Gin**
*Fool! Don't blame everything
on your sunglasses!*
**[02:15] Mada**
That's who we are.
**[02:17] Zura**
When we believe you're
taking the right path,
**[02:21] ---**
we stick with you,
no matter how hard it is.
**[02:24] Mada**
But if you're taking the wrong path,
**[02:27] ---**
we'll stop you, even if it turns
the whole world against us.
**[02:32] Zura**

**[03:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[03:19] Gin**
Bastard!
**[03:20] Kin**
Impressive, brother.
**[03:22] Kin**
So this is the power of
a bond forged through
**[03:25] ---**
60 volumes of DVDs?
**[03:27] Kin**
But it's no use.
**[03:29] Kin**
You can try to win them back,
**[03:31] Kin**
but I can undo your work
with a wave of my hand.
**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.
**[03:46] Kin**
Tama threw away her life for nothing.
**[03:49] Kin**
Come on, let's protect our town.
**[03:53] Kin**
This sideshow continues to defy
**[03:56] ---**
the main character and his friends.
**[03:59] Kin**
Send him packing!
**[04:06] Zura**
Go ahead and try!
**[04:09] Zura**
But we hold inside us
**[04:12] Zura**
ironclad memories of the
battles we fought together!
**[04:16] Zura**
A silver sword lies inside our souls!
**[04:20] Gin**
If you think you can
break those swords,
**[04:24] Gin**
break them!
**[04:26] Gin**
*My hypnotism isn't working!*
**[04:30] Kin**
Crush them! Beat them down!
**[04:32] Zura**
Go!
**[04:33] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[04:36] Gin**
Yeah, I'll let you watch my back!
**[04:40] Gin**
While...
**[04:41] Both**
I handle being the main character!
**[05:06] Kin**
I'll obliterate you.
**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*

Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day

***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**

**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.

*Never change.*
**[02:03] Gin**
*If you ever change, I'll

*Fool! Don't blame everything

That's who we are.

But if you're taking the wrong path,

But it's no use.

but I can undo your work

**[03:34] Kin**
Want to know why?
**[03:36] Kin**
It's because the main
character in this anime...
**[03:39] All**
...is Kin-san.
**[03:43] Kin**
You thought I couldn't
brainwash people anymore.

**[05:07] Kin**
Erase your memories, your
friends, your very being...
**[05:13] Gin**
You're the one who's
getting obliterated.
**[05:15] Gin**
Let's see if your memory
bank is fried first,
**[05:19] Gin**
or if my soul burns out first.
**[05:23] Gin**
Let's finish this.
**[05:26] Kin**
Whether gold or silver wins
this battle for existence,
**[05:29] ---**
you will be the one who disappears.
**[05:32] Kin**
I installed a special program
in myself that will activate
**[05:36] ---**
when certain conditions are met.
**[05:38] Kin**
This program will cause
a hypnotic explosion
**[05:40] ---**
that will blanket the
entire Kabuki district
**[05:43] Kin**
and reset everyone's memory.
**[05:47] Kin**
There are two conditions.
**[05:49] Kin**
The first is when my core is broken.
**[05:52] Kin**
The second
**[05:54] Kin**
is about to happen.
**[05:58] Otae**
Shin-chan! Kagura-chan!
**[06:00] Otae**
What are you doing here?!
**[06:02] Otae**
Come on! Pull yourself together!
**[06:05] Shin**
Sis...
**[06:07] Shin**
We remembered everything.
**[06:11] Shin**
Who Sakata Kintoki really is,
**[06:14] Shin**
who Sakata Gintoki really is...
**[06:18] Shin**
The person who altered our
memories just restored them.
**[06:22] Shin**
After that, we lost consciousness.
**[06:25] Kag**
Boss lady, we did terrible
things to Gin-chan.
**[06:30] Kag**
How do we say we're sorry?
**[06:33] Kag**
How can we make up?
**[06:38] Otae**
Stand up, you two.
**[06:41] Otae**
Let's go back to our leader.
**[06:45] Kin**
The second is when the four people
**[06:48] ---**
who started this all appear before me.
**[06:55] Kin**
Understand?
**[06:58] Kin**
If you defeat me or
recover your friends,
**[07:03] Kin**
everything will end.
**[07:05] Kin**
That was my true objective.
**[07:08] Kin**
You thought I wanted to take
over this lousy anime?
**[07:11] Kin**
Sorry, but I'm not going
**[07:12] ---**
to be satisfied with
your sloppy seconds.
**[07:15] Kin**
I take everything from you
**[07:17] ---**
and become the worst
enemy you've ever faced.
**[07:21] Kin**
But still, you're able to recover
your friends singlehandedly
**[07:25] ---**
and work together to defeat me.
**[07:28] Kin**
Yes, that is what I was hoping
to see in this final battle.
**[07:34] Kin**
I wanted to give this
show its last episode
**[07:37] Kin**
so I could return as the main character
**[07:39] ---**
of a show that was neither
Gintama nor Kintama.
**[07:44] Kin**
Sakata Gintoki, this anime returned
**[07:49] Kin**
as a tombstone to mark an end
to your pathetic existence,
**[07:54] ---**
to this joke of an anime.
**[07:57] Kin**
Well done.
**[07:59] Kin**
You and your friends have
**[08:02] ---**
made the atmosphere perfect
for a final episode.
**[08:06] Kin**
Don't worry about me.
**[08:08] Kin**
I've backed up my data
and prepared a new body.
**[08:12] Kin**
Rest easy.
**[08:14] Kin**
The finale will be very soon.
**[08:18] Gin**
That's it?
**[08:20] Gin**
Is that all you have to say?
**[08:26] Gin**
Sorry, you took so long that I
missed half of what you said.
**[08:32] Kin**
Y-You'll pay for ignoring my warning!
**[08:35] Kin**
If you kill me...
**[08:36] Gin**
You're finished, right?
**[08:41] Kin**
B-Bastard...
**[08:44] Kin**
You think you can end this yourself?
**[08:47] Kin**
Without recovering
everything you've lost?
**[08:55] Gin**
Nothing's going to end.
**[09:00] Gin**
Except for
**[09:03] Gin**
you and me, brother.
**[09:06] Kin**
Seppuku?!
**[09:07] Kin**
You'll lose more than your memories!
**[09:09] Kin**
You're going to cripple yourself!
**[09:11] Gin**
That's just fine.
**[09:12] Gin**
Everyone else forgot about me.
**[09:15] Gin**
It's my turn to forget.
**[09:17] Kin**
Fool!
**[09:18] Kin**
Have you forgotten that I've
made a copy of myself?!
**[09:22] Gin**
I have my own copies.
**[09:26] Gin**
They don't listen to a word I say,
**[09:29] ---**
but they share the same soul.
**[09:32] Gin**
Listen up, Kintoki.
**[09:34] Gin**
The main character in Gintama
**[09:37] Gin**
is every last idiot alive in this show!
**[09:46] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[09:50] Gin**
Can I hold him back by myself?!
**[09:57] Gin**
*Sorry, everyone.*
**[09:59] Gin**
*You finally remembered me,*
**[10:02] ---**
*but I doubt we'll be
seeing each other again.*
**[10:04] Gin**
*I was hoping to see your
stupid faces one last ti—*
**[10:11] Shin**
Sorry, Gin-san. We kept you waiting.
**[10:14] Kag**
We won't let you go off
by yourself, Gin-chan.
**[10:17] Kag**
We'll always be together.
**[10:20] Otae**
Don't worry.
**[10:22] ---**
We won't forget you this time.
**[10:24] Otae**
If you forget about me, I'll punch you.
**[10:30] Gin**
Fools...
**[10:32] Gin**
Now that you're here, this
anime is really going to end!
**[10:36] Gin**
And it just started again!
**[10:38] Shin**
That's not true.
**[10:40] Shin**
You'll be there.
**[10:41] Shin**
We'll all be there
**[10:43] Shin**
to save the day.
**[10:50] Kag**
So it doesn't matter how
many times we forget,
**[10:53] ---**
how many times we're separated.
**[10:55] Kag**
Isn't that right, Gin-chan?
**[10:59] Gin**
Yeah...
**[11:02] Gin**
I'll find you.
**[11:06] Gin**
We'll see each other again.
**[11:45] Toki**
A sword isn't meant to be
sheathed in underwear.
**[11:49] Toki**
It belongs in a scabbard.
**[11:52] Toki**
I don't think I can be
your scabbard anymore,
**[11:56] Toki**
but I'm sure there's a girl out there
**[11:59] ---**
who's worthy of being your scabbard,
**[12:01] Toki**
so you must find her
so you can be happy.
**[12:04] Kin**
I don't wanna.
**[12:05] Kin**
I want Tokiko-chan.
**[12:08] Toki**
Geez, you're so stupid.
**[12:12] Toki**
Will you make me a promise then?
**[12:15] Toki**
If I'm reincarnated,
I'll find you again.
**[12:20] Toki**
So promise you'll also find me.
**[12:24] Kin**
Uh-huh, I promise.
**[12:27] Kin**
I'll find my precious scabbard.

There was a time, long ago, when our

country was called by that name.
***SIGN*** 20 Years Ago
**[13:57] Kin**
Twenty years ago, a mysterious
building appeared out of nowhere
**[14:03] Kin**
and spread a mysterious virus
**[14:06] Kin**
that caused every man's
pride to rot and fall off.
**[14:11] Kin**
Where men and women once talked of love,
**[14:14] Kin**
we now had trannies and women bitching.
**[14:17] Kin**
Where men and women once spoke of love...
**[14:20] A**
Fantabulosa!
**[14:21] Kin**
...was all that remained.
**[14:23] Kin**
However, there was one last samurai
with a resistance to the virus,
**[14:27] ---**
whose sword of steel remained strong.
**[14:30] Kin**
Sakata Kintoki.
**[14:32] Kin**
Yes, he was the last hope for mankind.
**[14:36] Kin**
The man who had the right to
claim every woman on the planet,
**[14:40] Kin**
but instead continued to search
for a single scabbard.
**[14:42] Kin**
That man was me.
**[14:44] A**
Good morning, Sakata-kun!
**[14:45] A**
Let's go to school together!
**[14:47] B**
I made an extra lunch today.
**[14:49] B**
Would you like it?
**[14:50] C**
Sakata-kun promised to
have lunch with me!
**[14:54] D**
What are you talking about?
He promised me, too.
**[14:56] Kin**
Sorry, but I don't remember making
**[14:58] ---**
any promises to you girls.
**[15:00] Kin**
My promise is to someone else.
**[15:02] Kin**
A promise that was made
long before you were born.
**[15:06] B**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[15:09] Kin**
*How much time has passed*
**[15:11] ---**
*since I started looking for you?*
**[15:14] Kin**
*To keep my promise to you,*
**[15:16] ---**
*I changed my sword, my body, into metal,*
**[15:19] Kin**
*so I could remain a man, even
if I was no longer human.*
**[15:23] Kin**
*Eventually, the human race will
die and I'll be left alone.*
**[15:28] Kin**
*But my sword will never break.*
**[15:31] Kin**
*Even if you're reincarnated
as a cockroach,*
**[15:33] Kin**
*you will still be my precious partner.*
**[15:36] Toki**
Oh no!
**[15:37] Toki**
I'm late on my first day
at my new school!
***SIGN*** Wham!
**[15:42] All**
Are you okay, Sakata-kun?
**[15:44] Kin**
Ow...
**[15:46] Toki**
Ouch.
**[15:48] Toki**
Oops, I screwed up!
**[15:53] Kin**
*Could it be...*
**[15:53] Toki**
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
**[15:54] Kin**
*Is it truly...*
**[15:56] Kin**
*...her reincarnation?*
**[15:59] Toki**
Um, excuse me.
**[16:03] Toki**
That's my plastic bottle.
**[16:06] Kin**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[16:08] B**
A plastic bottle is stuck on
**[16:10] ---**
the only sword left in the entire world!
**[16:13] Gor**
What's all this fuss about?
**[16:15] C**
Ms. Goriko!
**[16:16] C**
It's terrible!
**[16:18] C**
Look at Sakata-kun's crotch!
**[16:20] Gor**
This is...
**[16:21] Gor**
Don't touch it!
**[16:22] Gor**
If the main character of
this anime loses his crotch,
**[16:25] ---**
his only unique feature,
**[16:27] Gor**
Sakata-kun will no longer be
**[16:28] ---**
qualified to be the main character!
**[16:29] Kin**
Teach!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't make it sound like my
crotch is all there is to me!
**[16:33] Gor**
For now, let's carefully carry
him to the nurse's office.
**[16:36] Gor**
Here we go!
**[16:38] A**
Teach! Could you *be* any less careful?!
**[16:41] B**
Look out! There's a
ball coming your way!
**[16:45] E**
Teach! Please go to
the nurse's office!
**[16:48] E**
Thanks, Teach!
**[16:49] Kin**
Hold on!
**[16:51] Kin**
You've got two balls and
a bat in your mitt now!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[16:55] Kin**
Wait!
**[16:56] Kin**
Those are my balls and bat!
**[16:58] E**
Kick off!
**[16:59] Kin**
Aren't you playing baseball?!
**[17:02] Kin**
She hit the school!
**[17:04] Kin**
My sword!
**[17:06] F**
What's going on?
**[17:08] F**
This came flying into the art room.
**[17:11] Kin**
Is it okay?!
**[17:12] F**
Yes, there was a broken
screw in the bottle,
**[17:16] ---**
so I repaired it.
**[17:17] Kin**
*Bon voyage!*
**[17:20] A**
Sakata-kun's crotch
has gone bon voyage!
**[17:25] Gor**
Okay, let's take attendance!
**[17:28] Kin**
*It's over...*
**[17:30] Kin**
*I finally found someone who
appeared to be her reincarnation,*
**[17:34] Kin**
*but my scabbard is a plastic bottle,*
**[17:36] Kin**
*and my sword has set
sail for a new world.*
**[17:40] Kin**
*I can no longer...*
**[17:44] Toki**
Excuse me!
**[17:45] Gor**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[17:47] Gor**
You're late on your first day.
**[17:48] Toki**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:54] Toki**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:55] Toki**
I'm a new transfer student.
**[17:58] Toki**
Sorry about being late.
**[18:00] Toki**
I was looking for something.
**[18:04] Toki**
It took forever,
**[18:05] Toki**
but I was finally able to find it.
**[18:10] Toki**
Find you...
**[18:14] Toki**
Sorry it took so long.
**[18:21] Kin**
Tokiko-chan!
**[18:26] Toki**
You don't need to cry.
**[18:28] Toki**
Didn't we promise
**[18:32] Gin**
that we would meet again?
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[18:36] Gin**
Let's start over.
**[18:38] Gin**
I'm the new transfer
student, Sakata Gintoki.
**[18:43] Gin**
Hey, what's with the look on your face?
**[18:45] Gin**
Did you forget the promise we made?
**[18:49] Shin**
Of course not.
**[18:51] Shin**
It doesn't matter how
many times we forget...
**[18:53] Kag**
How many times we're separated.
**[18:55] Otae**
We'll find you.
**[18:59] All**
Right, Gin-san?
**[19:02] Gin**
There you go, brother.
**[19:05] Gin**
Sorry to ruin your main
character gig, but Mantama
**[19:09] Gin**
was created to be your tombstone.
**[19:24] Tama**
Did you enjoy your brief
experience as a main character?
**[19:28] Tama**
Did you enjoy having
everything important
**[19:31] ---**
to you taken away?
**[19:33] Tama**
That's what you were doing.
**[19:36] Kin**
I see...
**[19:37] ---**
So that world was a virtual
one that you created.
**[19:41] Gen**
When I was repairing you,
I added a few safety measures.
**[19:46] Kin**
That's why they still
have their memories
**[19:48] ---**
after being hit by the
hypnotic explosion?
**[19:51] Gen**
Heh, they didn't need my help.
**[19:55] Gen**
Kintoki, the bond people share
**[19:58] Gen**
goes deeper than the memory.
**[20:04] Gin**
Tama, I've settled my score with him.
**[20:08] Gin**
He's all yours now.
**[20:10] Gin**
Boil him, fry him,
do whatever you want.
**[20:13] Shin**
Please wait, Tama-san!
**[20:15] Kag**
Can you spare him?!
**[20:18] Shin**
We were the ones who
asked you to make him!
**[20:21] Kag**
He was just trying to take
Gin-chan's place as our leader!
**[20:24] Kag**
He just went too far!
**[20:27] Shin**
We'll join him in begging
everyone for forgiveness!
**[20:31] Shin**
Please!
**[20:33] Tama**
Did you hear that?
**[20:36] Kin**
You people are too soft.
**[20:38] Kin**
Gintoki, this is the reality
of what you've achieved.
**[20:42] Kin**
See how your friends are too
weak to finish off your enemy.
**[20:46] Kin**
See how you were too powerless
to do anything alone.
**[20:51] Kin**
Your imperfect character was
**[20:53] ---**
destined to fail, even
without my intervention.
**[20:56] Gin**
You're absolutely right.
**[20:58] Gin**
I can't do anything alone.
**[21:01] Gin**
Everyone here has their
flaws and imperfections.
**[21:04] Gin**
But that's what drives
us to work together
**[21:07] ---**
to make up for those flaws.
**[21:10] Gin**
Together, we make the
perfect main character.
**[21:14] Gin**
If you don't believe me,
you can come back.
**[21:17] Gin**
We'll take you on again.
**[21:19] Gin**
See ya, imperfect plastic model.
**[21:22] Kin**
Wait! Did you say I was imperfect?!
**[21:24] Kin**
Take that back!
**[21:26] Tama**
No, you are certainly imperfect.
**[21:31] Tama**
You were so focused on altering
other people's memories,
**[21:36] Tama**
you didn't realize that other
people were altering your soul.
**[21:41] Tama**
You should treasure the
life your friends spared.
**[21:50] Kin**
Gramps...
**[21:52] Kin**
Can you polish me up?
**[21:55] Gen**
No idea. I can start by
making you shiny gold.
**[22:00] Gen**
No, shiny gold won't do.
**[22:03] Sa**
Gin-san!

**[01:32] Suzu**
I loathe the moon.
**[01:36] Suzu**
With nightfall, it brings you to me,
**[01:40] Suzu**
but it also takes you from
me when dawn breaks.
**[01:44] Suzu**
I wish the moon would never leave us.
**[01:48] Suzu**
Then you would always be here with me.
**[01:53] A**
The moon will come with the night again.
**[01:56] A**
And someday, when it does,
**[01:59] ---**
I will take you with me in the morning.
**[02:01] A**
Wait before the cherry blossom tree
**[02:03] ---**
on the night of the next full moon.
**[02:15] Suzu**
Do you promise?
**[02:17] A**
I promise.
**[02:22] Both**
Promise.
**[02:24] Suzu**
I'll be waiting
**[02:27] Suzu**
for the moon to rise
**[02:28] Suzu**
forever.
**[02:33] Gin**
The legendary courtesan?
**[02:35] Tsu**
You don't know of her?
**[02:37] Tsu**
The other lady of Yoshiwara,
**[02:39] Tsu**
the courtesan Suzuran.
**[02:41] Gin**
Why is she legendary?
**[02:42] Gin**
Is she a descendant of Erdrick?
**[02:43] Gin**
From Hand of the Heavenly Courtesan?
**[02:45] Hino**
I'm not talking about Nera.
**[02:47] Gin**
Nera? I was talking about Bianca.
**[02:49] Hino**
Don't forget about Debora.
**[02:51] Tsu**
Uh, none of them matter.
**[02:53] Hino**
The courtesan Suzuran.
**[02:55] Hino**
Her beauty was said
to come from the heavens.
**[02:57] Hino**
No one could rival her
in song or dance.
**[03:01] Hino**
Many elite officials sought Suzuran's
favor by offering her great wealth,
**[03:05] Hino**
but most were sent home
after a cup of tea.
**[03:08] Gin**
Sounds like she was beautiful
enough to topple nations.
**[03:12] Gin**
The other lady of Yoshiwara
isn't toppling nations
**[03:15] ---**
so much as toppling from
the weight of her makeup.
**[03:17] Hino**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:19] Hino**
My hand slipped.
**[03:20] Hino**
Must be because our nation
is toppling over.
**[03:21] Gin**
But it sounds like she's
no longer around.
**[03:25] Gin**
I would have liked to
enjoy her company once.
**[03:28] Hino**
You're more than welcome.
**[03:31] Hino**
You're such a fool.
**[03:33] Hino**
The legendary courtesan was
the one who invited you here.
**[03:36] Hino**
She wants to meet the
savior of Yoshiwara.
***SIGN*** Courtesan Turns the Tables
**[03:49] Gin**
This should be good enough?
**[03:51] Gin**
But wait...
**[03:53] Gin**
Maybe I should...
**[03:54] Tsu**
It doesn't matter!
**[03:55] Tsu**
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?
**[03:57] Gin**
This is important though.
**[03:59] Gin**
We're talking about a
legendary courtesan.
**[04:01] Gin**
If I screw something up, this won't
be a Yoshiwara night anymore!
**[04:04] Gin**
It'll be Tsukiji instead!
**[04:05] Gin**
I'll turn into a dead fish!
**[04:06] Tsu**
Don't worry. Nothing like
that is going to happen.
**[04:11] A**
Lady Suzuran has arrived!
**[04:14] Hino**
Oh, she's here.
**[04:20] ---**
Here she comes...
**[04:21] Gin**
Here she comes! Here she comes!
**[04:23] Suzu**
H-Hello.
**[04:28] Suzu**
It is an honor to meet you.
**[04:31] Suzu**
I am Su-Suzura...
**[04:34] Suzu**
Huh?
**[04:36] Suzu**
Who am I?
**[04:39] Hino**
Allow me to introduce you.
**[04:40] Hino**
This is the legendary
courtesan, our elder.
**[04:44] Hino**
The courtesan Lady Suzuran.
**[04:54] Tsu**
Hey, where do you think you're going?
**[04:55] Gin**
Just over to Tsukiji.
**[04:57] Gin**
Er, sorry.
**[04:58] Gin**
I heard she was a courtesan, but she
was toppling more than I thought.
**[05:01] Gin**
I didn't think she would be
completely toppled over.
**[05:03] Gin**
You said that this is
the legendary what?
**[05:05] Gin**
Lady Boomerang?
**[05:06] Tsu**
Lady Suzuran.
**[05:09] Gin**
You girls are mean.
**[05:11] Gin**
You made it sound like she
was working with you.
**[05:14] Suzu**
U-Um, I'm still on the job.
**[05:18] Gin**
What?!
**[05:18] Suzu**
I don't mean to brag,
**[05:21] ---**
but I've been working here since before
Yoshiwara moved underground.
**[05:25] Gin**
You're the one who's going
to be put underground soon!
**[05:28] Suzu**
I may be older now,
**[05:30] Suzu**
but my technique is just as
good as those younger girls!
**[05:35] Gin**
What kind of technique is this?!
**[05:38] Suzu**
Please come over here, savior...
**[05:43] Suzu**
Huh?
**[05:43] Suzu**
Who are you?
**[05:45] Gin**
Sakata Gintoki!
**[05:47] Suzu**
Oh, I wanted to thank you.
**[05:53] Suzu**
Please drink until you knock
yourself out tonight.
**[05:57] Gin**
This lady's spilling the whole bottle!
**[06:00] Suzu**
Huh? It's empty.
**[06:02] Suzu**
You drink fast.
**[06:03] Gin**
Are you listening to me, lady?!
**[06:05] Suzu**
Please knock yourself out tonight.
**[06:10] Gin**
Lady, you've knocked yourself
out, so can I go?!
**[06:15] Hino**
Behold Lady Suzuran's famous dancing.
**[06:17] Hino**
Look at her break dance.
**[06:19] Gin**
Wait, she's break dancing?
**[06:21] Gin**
It looks like she's having a breakdown!
**[06:23] Gin**
This is bad!
**[06:25] Gin**
Should we call an ambulance?
**[06:26] Suzu**
Y-You're too hasty.
**[06:28] Suzu**
Why don't we get to bed then?
**[06:30] Gin**
No!
**[06:32] Hino**
Here is your bed.
**[06:35] Gin**
What kind of bed is that?!
**[06:38] Suzu**
I-I truly enjoyed our
time together today.
**[06:42] Gin**
What?!
**[06:43] Gin**
You don't look like
you enjoyed yourself!
**[06:44] Suzu**
Thank you for being my last visitor.
**[06:49] Gin**
Don't jinx yourself!
**[06:51] Suzu**
You're so kind.
**[06:54] Suzu**
You're showing so much
concern for an old woman.
**[07:00] Suzu**
Can you make me a promise then?
**[07:06] Suzu**
Come see me again when the moon rises.
**[07:11] Suzu**
I'll be waiting
**[07:15] Suzu**
for the moon to rise
**[07:17] Suzu**
forever.
**[07:27] Hino**
That's known as a lovers' pact.
**[07:29] Hino**
Long ago, the women of Yoshiwara would
**[07:32] ---**
exchange vows of love
with their customers.
**[07:35] Hino**
My love belongs only to you.
**[07:37] Hino**
I will never be unfaithful to you.
**[07:40] Hino**
As proof, the women would offer
their hair, nails, and blood.
**[07:48] Hino**
Sadly, most of the
women made these pacts
**[07:50] ---**
to squeeze more money
from their customers.
**[07:56] Gin**
She's as good as they claim, then.
**[07:59] Gin**
That old woman had a man's hair
wrapped around her pinky.
**[08:03] Hino**
She refused to retire,
**[08:05] Hino**
even after she no longer had
**[08:07] ---**
any customers and
Yoshiwara was set free.
**[08:09] Hino**
She offered to do anything
if we let her stay here.
**[08:12] Hino**
And she intends to spend the rest
of her life here as a prostitute.
**[08:17] Hino**
She made a promise long ago
**[08:20] ---**
when Yoshiwara was still on the surface.
**[08:23] Hino**
A promise to leave
Yoshiwara together...
**[08:27] Hino**
Judging from her behavior,
**[08:29] ---**
she must have mistaken you for that man.
**[08:32] Tsu**
Do you mean that
**[08:33] ---**
Suzuran has been waiting here
all this time for that man?
**[08:36] Hino**
I don't know.
**[08:37] Hino**
But Yoshiwara has always been a place
**[08:39] ---**
where men and women lie to each other.
**[08:41] Hino**
Everyone knows that these dreams
**[08:43] ---**
will not last beyond morning.
**[08:45] Hino**
But we all continue to act our roles.
**[08:48] Hino**
It's your own fault if you
choose to believe that dream.
**[08:51] Hino**
But some may not wish to
awaken from that dream.
**[08:55] Hino**
She wishes to sleep inside her
dream, under the moonlight.
**[09:03] A**
Suzuran?
**[09:04] A**
My late lech of a grandpa
mentioned her before.
**[09:07] B**
Yes, I remember her.
**[09:08] B**
She was a fine woman.
**[09:10] B**
But she was out of my league.
**[09:12] B**
I would have loved a chance
with Suzuki Ranran.
**[09:16] C**
Yes, she was incredibly popular.
**[09:19] C**
But personally, I was
more of a Miki-chan fan
**[09:21] ---**
than a Ran-chan fan
**[09:22] C**
when it came to the Candies.
**[09:24] D**
I would totally lay Pink Lady.
**[09:27] E**
I would totally lay you.
**[09:30] F**
I just want one last lay,
I don't care who...
**[09:35] Gin**
I'm a fan of Ketsuno Ana.
**[09:37] Gin**
Wait, I don't mean that like it sounded...
**[09:39] Gin**
Kshatriya!
**[09:41] Tsu**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
**[09:44] Gin**
Why are you sneaking around
**[09:45] ---**
asking old men who they want to lay?
**[09:48] Tsu**
It's not my fault those perverted
leches got distracted!
**[09:51] Gin**
Are you looking for the
old woman's darling?
**[09:56] Gin**
Are you girly enough to think that the
**[09:58] ---**
man still remembers an ancient promise?
**[10:00] Tsu**
Who are you calling girly?!
**[10:02] Tsu**
I'm the leader of the
Hyakka, Lady Death!
**[10:05] Tsu**
I came to the surface for a
new pipe, but I got lost,
**[10:09] ---**
and when I asked for directions...
**[10:10] Tsu**
Um...
**[10:11] A**
Boss!
**[10:12] A**
We have information on Suzuran!
**[10:14] Tsu**
Shut up!
**[10:15] Gin**
Huh? Why are you telling
them to shut up?
**[10:18] Gin**
Did you come to the surface to buy
girly stuff to make yourself pretty?
**[10:20] Gin**
You're such a girl.
**[10:21] Tsu**
No! I'm buying non-girly stuff
to make myself not pretty!
**[10:25] Tsu**
Get back to shopping!
**[10:26] A**
Huh? Shopping?
**[10:27] B**
For what?
**[10:28] Gin**
Yeah, you women are hopeless.
**[10:30] Gin**
That old woman was hoodwinked.
**[10:34] Gin**
I feel sorry for you women.
**[10:37] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[10:38] Shin**
We have information on the old lady!
**[10:41] Gin**
Shut up!
**[10:42] Tsu**
Oh, I see.
**[10:43] Tsu**
Fancy that.
**[10:44] Tsu**
So you're also doing
some secret shopping.
**[10:46] Gin**
I'm buying manly stuff!
**[10:48] Gin**
To make my curly hair manly!
**[10:50] Gin**
So shut up!
**[10:52] Tsu**
You shut up!
**[10:53] Shin**
Can you cut it out?
**[10:55] Shin**
Both of you are so stubborn.
**[10:57] Kag**
Gin-chan and Tsu-ki
both want to help the
**[10:59] ---**
old lady meet her darling
before she dies, right?
**[11:02] Both**
What?
**[11:04] Shin**
Huh? Don't you?
**[11:06] Tsu**
I just wanted to make that man pay
**[11:08] ---**
for toying with the heart
of a Yoshiwara woman.
**[11:11] Tsu**
When Suzuran dies,
**[11:13] Tsu**
that man will also die.
**[11:15] Shin**
This woman's up to no good!
**[11:18] Gin**
I made her a promise.
**[11:21] Gin**
If I find the man,
**[11:23] Gin**
she'll give me all of her wealth.
**[11:25] Shin**
Don't lie!
**[11:26] Shin**
Don't make up promises!
**[11:29] Shin**
So both of you are plotting evil!
**[11:32] Tsu**
What do you mean?
**[11:33] Tsu**
I'm going to end his life.
**[11:35] Gin**
I won't let that happen. The
lady's money will be mine.
**[11:37] Shin**
Hold on! Wait!
**[11:39] Shin**
You need to show more respect, Gin-san!
**[11:41] A**
Respect isn't the only thing
you need to show, boss!
**[11:44] Gin**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[11:47] Shin**
Well, we were able to obtain
**[11:49] ---**
information on Suzuran-san's
former customer.
**[11:51] A**
But this customer is big trouble.
**[11:55] Shin**
Long ago, Suzuran-san had many wealthy
**[11:58] ---**
retainers as her customers.
**[12:00] Shin**
But they all suddenly
stopped visiting her.
**[12:04] Shin**
It was because of a certain rumor
going through Yoshiwara.
**[12:06] Shin**
Suzuran-san was the
favorite of that man.
**[12:09] Tsu**
That man?
**[12:11] Tsu**
Who was he?
**[12:13] Shin**
It's the man
**[12:16] Shin**
who lives over there.
**[12:20] Gin**
Shinpachi-kun, are
you saying that...
**[12:24] Shin**
The former shogun.
**[12:33] Gin**
Pachi-boy, can I ask you a question?
**[12:35] Gin**
What will happen to us if
we're caught sneaking
**[12:37] ---**
into the castle to see
the former shogun?
**[12:39] Shin**
We'll be executed.
**[12:41] Gin**
What will happen if we wait for
the shogun to step outside?
**[12:44] Shin**
We'll be executed.
**[12:45] Gin**
Between the old former courtesan and the
**[12:48] ---**
old former shogun, who has more money?
**[12:51] Shin**
Should be the shogun.
**[12:53] Gin**
Okay, I have a plan.
**[12:56] Gin**
Tsukuyo will sneak past the
guards into the palace.
**[12:59] Gin**
Then I report her to the guards and
**[13:01] ---**
receive a reward from the shogun.
**[13:03] Gin**
A perfect plan!
**[13:06] Tsu**
This seems more perfect to me.
**[13:09] Gin**
Calm down, Tsu-ki.
**[13:11] Gin**
We're talking about the former shogun.
**[13:13] Gin**
It'll be hard enough to announce
ourselves, let alone meet him.
**[13:16] Gin**
What would we say if we met him, anyway?
**[13:19] Tsu**
That his former lover is
waiting for him in hell.
**[13:21] Gin**
This is bad.
**[13:23] ---**
She's going to get us arrested
for assassinating the shogun!
**[13:26] Shin**
So we won't be able to sneak inside?
**[13:28] Gin**
They've got guards everywhere.
**[13:30] Gin**
Something must have happened.
**[13:32] Gin**
Besides, even if that
**[13:33] ---**
old woman used to be the
top courtesan in Edo,
**[13:36] Gin**
the shogun wouldn't go to
Yoshiwara to visit her.
**[13:40] Shin**
The shogun was Suzuran-san's customer
**[13:43] ---**
before he became the shogun.
**[13:46] Shin**
And didn't you know, Gin-san?
**[13:49] Shin**
You haven't heard about the
13th shogun, Sadasada-sama?
**[13:54] Shin**
When the Amanto attacked,
**[13:55] ---**
he replaced the 12th shogun
who collapsed from the stress.
**[14:00] Shin**
While he was called a traitor
for opening up control,
**[14:04] Shin**
he's considered a brilliant
leader who rebuilt the bakufu.
**[14:07] Shin**
Even after abdicating,
**[14:09] ---**
he holds incredible influence
and serves as an advisor.
**[14:13] Shin**
He was known to be a player
**[14:15] Shin**
with the highest number of wives
ever recorded in the family.
**[14:19] Gin**
So he went Abarenbo Shogun
every Saturday at 8 PM?
**[14:23] Shin**
He went Abarenbo Shogun
every night at 8 PM.
**[14:30] Tsu**
He used his position to toy with
Suzuran, then he tossed her aside.
**[14:35] Tsu**
My target is the former shogun.
**[14:38] Gin**
Could you not use the word target?
**[14:40] Tsu**
I understand that this is reckless.
**[14:42] Tsu**
Nevertheless, I must go.
**[14:44] Gin**
Hey!
**[14:45] Tsu**
The woman devoted her
life to Yoshiwara.
**[14:48] Tsu**
Yoshiwara must return the favor.
**[14:51] Tsu**
She no longer needs the moon to
show her dreams that won't last.
**[14:55] Tsu**
The last moon she sees will
be when her dream comes true.
**[15:00] Shin**
Tsukuyo-san...
**[15:03] Kag**
Wait, Tsu-ki!
**[15:06] Kag**
There's nothing reckless
about that dream.
**[15:13] A**
Open the gates!
**[15:22] B**
Attention!
**[15:24] B**
Princess Soyo has arrived!
**[15:26] Soyo**
Kagura-chan!
**[15:27] B**
Your Highness, behave yourself!
**[15:29] Kag**
Soyo-chan!
**[15:31] Soyo**
It's been forever!
**[15:32] Soyo**
How have you been?
**[15:34] Kag**
I'm doing just fine.
**[15:35] Kag**
And you look like
you're in good shape.
**[15:38] B**
Your Highness, it's not proper
to embrace someone in public.
**[15:38] Soyo**
I've been so lonely since
the last time you came.
**[15:41] Soyo**
Oh, did you bring me the new
sukonbu like you promised?
**[15:44] Soyo**
Yup!
**[15:44] Gin**
Huh? What's that? Who's that?
**[15:46] Gin**
Clara and Heidi?
**[15:48] Shin**
If my memory serves me right,
**[15:50] ---**
that's Princess Soyo, the younger
sister of the current shogun.
**[15:53] Gin**
If my memory serves me right,
**[15:54] ---**
the princess wouldn't
be yodeling with Heidi.
**[15:59] Gin**
No way. When did she
score a connection
**[16:01] ---**
with the princess of this country?
**[16:03] Gin**
When did she become more
influential than I am?
**[16:05] Gin**
This is how Alm-Onji must have felt.
**[16:07] Gin**
He couldn't be happy for Heidi when
**[16:09] ---**
she came back from
Frankfurt all grown up.
**[16:12] Shin**
Alm-Onji wasn't that mean.
**[16:15] Kag**
I brought my friends
today. Is that okay?
**[16:18] Soyo**
Of course.
**[16:19] Soyo**
Your friends are my friends.
**[16:22] Soyo**
Thank you for coming to visit today.
**[16:24] Soyo**
You must be Gin-chan.
**[16:25] Gin**
Huh? You know me?
**[16:27] Soyo**
Yes, Kagura-chan has
told me all about you.
**[16:30] Soyo**
I'm honored to meet you.
**[16:32] Gin**
N-No, I'm the one who's honored.
**[16:34] Gin**
You've done a lot for Kagura.
**[16:36] Soyo**
You weren't lying about
how shaggy he is.
**[16:38] Gin**
Uh, Kagura-chan? What have
you been telling her?
**[16:41] Soyo**
So the glasses wearing the
human are Pachi-boy-san?
**[16:43] Shin**
Glasses wearing the human?!
**[16:45] Shin**
That's backwards!
**[16:46] Shin**
What have you been
telling her about me?!
**[16:48] Soyo**
Who is this woman?
**[16:50] Kagura**
She came from Yoshiwara to
knock off the shogun...
**[16:54] Soyo**
Yoshiwara? Knock off?
**[16:57] Tsu**
No, I'm... You know...
**[16:59] Gin**
She's a delivery hell girl who came from
**[17:02] ---**
Yoshiwara to knock out the shogun.
**[17:03] Tsu**
How is that any better?!
**[17:04] Soyo**
So she's a delivery hell girl.
***SIGN*** Delivery Hell
**[17:07] Tsu**
It still sounds like I'm
delivering him to hell!
**[17:10] Soyo**
I'm sorry.
**[17:11] ---**
You came to visit me, but
we have to sneak around.
**[17:14] Soyo**
Sorry about this, Grampy.
**[17:17] G**
I'm used to your willful behavior.
**[17:19] G**
At least you haven't run
away from the palace again.
**[17:23] Shin**
Uh, did something happen?
**[17:25] Soyo**
The palace is currently
under martial law.
**[17:28] G**
Your Highness! That's classified!
**[17:29] Soyo**
We can tell them.
**[17:32] Soyo**
Lately, somebody has been attacking
important bakufu officials,
**[17:38] Soyo**
so the palace is really
tense right now.
**[17:41] Shin**
S-Sorry, it looks like
we came at a bad time.
**[17:46] Soyo**
No, it's perfectly fine.
**[17:48] Soyo**
I couldn't stand the gloomy
atmosphere much longer.
**[17:52] Sasa**
I see. I have no choice then.
**[17:56] Sasa**
Under normal circumstances, I would
tell these visitors to leave,
**[17:58] ---**
friends of the princess or not.
**[18:01] Sasa**
But I'll make an exception
in this case.
**[18:05] Sasa**
Since one of my e-mail buddies is here.
**[18:07] Gin**
Holy!
**[18:08] G**
Sasaki-dono!
**[18:10] G**
Forgive me, these are...
**[18:12] Sasa**
No, it's fine.
**[18:15] Sasa**
Since the Mimawarigumi has been
**[18:16] ---**
entrusted to protect the palace,
**[18:18] ---**
the princess is perfectly safe.
**[18:22] Sasa**
And since we've determined
**[18:24] ---**
that the assailant is most
likely a Joi patriot,
**[18:27] Sasa**
it shouldn't matter if a former
Joi is allowed inside the palace.
**[18:31] Sasa**
Isn't that right, White Yaksha?

**[18:38] G**
Your Highness, please be quiet!
**[18:41] G**
If you cause any fuss, I, Rotten
Maizo, will lose my head.
**[18:45] Kag**
Soyo-chan, what do you
want to do today?
**[18:47] Kag**
We can play tag.
**[18:48] Soyo**
Yes, yes!
**[18:48] G**
Were you listening to me?
**[18:50] Kag**
You whine too much, old man!
**[18:52] G**
Don't call me an old man!
**[18:55] Gin**
This isn't good.
**[18:56] Tsu**
Do you know that man?
**[18:58] Gin**
We made it inside the palace,
**[19:01] Gin**
but we've got a pesky
watchdog on our tail now.
**[19:06] Sasa**
"Nobu-tasu's guarding
the princess right now,
**[19:08] ---**
so if you try anything
funny, you'll be killed.
**[19:10] Sasa**
Be careful."
**[19:12] Shin**
We could ask the princess to help us.
**[19:15] Gin**
How are we supposed to explain
Yoshiwara to that innocent girl?
**[19:20] Gin**
And we've got Grampy and the
watchdog monitoring us.
**[19:24] Tsu**
That means we need to lose
Grampy and the watchdog
**[19:27] ---**
before we can freely
move around the palace.
**[19:29] G**
I won't let you play
tag! It's not proper!
**[19:32] Kag**
You're so pissy!
**[19:34] Kag**
That's why you're known as "Gram-pee."
**[19:37] G**
That's what Grampy stands for?
**[19:39] Soyo**
That's wrong, Kagura-chan.
**[19:40] Soyo**
The Gram is short for Grand,
**[19:42] Soyo**
so it's "Grand-pee."
**[19:44] G**
Your Highness! That's worse!
**[19:47] Tsu**
Enough of this, Kagura.
**[19:50] Kag**
Tsu-ki...
**[19:51] Tsu**
If we play tag under the
current circumstances,
**[19:53] ---**
we'll be making more
trouble for the guards.
**[19:55] G**
See? Did you hear that, Your Highness?
**[19:57] G**
This is how grown-ups should act.
**[19:58] Tsu**
Instead, you should keep it
quiet and play kick the can.
**[20:01] Gin**
Wait, how does that make sense?!
**[20:04] Tsu**
If you play tag, you'll be running
around and making a lot of noise.
**[20:06] Tsu**
But kick the can is similar
to hide-and-seek.
**[20:09] Tsu**
There shouldn't be too much noise.
**[20:10] Both**
Makes sense!
**[20:11] Both**
Wait, you're missing the point!
**[20:13] Gin**
Is she going to use hide-and-seek as an
**[20:16] ---**
excuse to shake Grampy and the watchdog?
**[20:18] Shin**
Grampy's not going to accept that!
**[20:20] G**
It's not proper for Your
Highness to kick cans!
**[20:23] Shin**
See?
**[20:24] G**
If you want to kick cans,
**[20:27] G**
you should kick me instead!
**[20:28] Shin**
What?!
**[20:29] Gin**
Hey! Grampy's the worst offender here!
**[20:31] G**
Now step on me with your pointy heels!
**[20:34] Soyo**
Grand-pee!
**[20:35] Nobu**
Wait.
**[20:37] Nobu**
Kick the can...
**[20:38] Nobu**
Kick the Grampy...
**[20:40] Nobu**
I can't allow that.
**[20:41] Gin**
Damn, here she comes!
**[20:44] Nobu**
Let's play cut the Grampy.
**[20:45] Gin**
You're joining in?!
**[20:47] Gin**
What's cut the Grampy?!
**[20:49] Gin**
Some kind of killing game?!
**[20:50] Soyo**
Are you going to play
with us, Nobume-san?
**[20:54] Soyo**
Yay!
**[20:55] Nobu**
This is more pointy than her heels.
**[20:57] G**
Uh, it's too pointy!
**[20:58] G**
I'll take a grand piss on that idea!
**[21:01] Gin**
Both Grampy and the
watchdog are joining in!
**[21:04] Gin**
Wait, wait, wait.
**[21:06] Gin**
A guard shouldn't be doing this.
**[21:08] Gin**
Grampy's going to die, so
we should change the rules.
**[21:11] Nobu**
Then I'm It.
**[21:12] Nobu**
I'll cut down everyone I find.
**[21:14] Gin**
That'll mean more casualties!
**[21:16] Gin**
Are you that eager to cut people?!
**[21:19] Nobu**
Hurry up and kick the can.
**[21:21] Gin**
Wait!
**[21:22] Gin**
Why are you starting already?!
**[21:25] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[21:26] Tsu**
Kick the can as far as
you can to buy time!
**[21:29] Gin**
Shut up!
**[21:30] Gin**
Why do I have to buy you
guys time to run away?!
**[21:33] Gin**
*Damn it all!*
**[21:34] Gin**
*I'll lose my head anyway when they*
**[21:36] ---**
*find out we're sneaking
around the palace!*
**[21:38] Gin**
*In that case, I'll kick it good!*
**[21:44] Gin**
Go!
**[21:49] Shogun**
You're being too noisy, Soyo.
**[21:51] Shogun**
Honestly, when will you realize that
**[21:54] ---**
you are the Shogun's younger sister...
**[22:06] Gin**
*It-It-It...*
**[22:09] Gin**
*It's the shogun?!*
***SIGN*** To be continued...
**[23:45] Gin**
Guess what?
**[23:46] Gin**
This spring...
**[23:47] Gin**
No, this summer, the second
movie will be hitting theaters!
**[23:51] Kag**
Yay! So spring...
**[23:52] Kag**
I mean, summer is when it finally happens!
**[23:55] Kag**
Time to celebrate!
**[23:56] Shin**
This doesn't sound very celebratory.
***SIGN*** Courtesan Turns the Tables!
***SIGN*** The former shogun arrives
***SIGN*** right as the current shogun is taken out!!
***SIGN*** Given the terrible timing,
***SIGN*** will Gintoki and crew be able to ask about Suzuran?!

**[01:32] Gin**
I took him out!
**[01:33] Gin**
I took out the shogun!
**[01:35] Tsu**
C-Calm down, Gintoki!
**[01:36] Tsu**
He's just unconscious!
**[01:38] Tsu**
We need to get him help, quick!
**[01:39] Nobu**
Found Whitey and Blondie.
**[01:41] Gin**
That's not a can!
**[01:45] Nobu**
It'll be faster to cut him up.
**[01:46] Gin**
Your way of moving faster is too fast!
**[01:48] A**
Excuse me, Shogun-sama.
**[01:50] A**
The former shogun,
Sadasada-sama is here.
**[01:53] A**
Are you available?
**[01:55] Gin**
*Is he available?*
**[01:57] Gin**
*That's what I want to know!*
**[01:59] Gin**
*This is a disaster! What the hell
do we do about this?!*
**[02:01] Gin**
*We finally found the former shogun,*
**[02:03] ---**
*but the current shogun is flying away!*
**[02:05] Gin**
*Butterflying away in the River Styx.*
**[02:06] Gin**
*At this rate, we'll be
butterflying away with him,*
**[02:08] Tsu**
Calm down!
**[02:09] Gin**
*so before that, let's start running away!*
**[02:13] Tsu**
Hey, where are you going?
**[02:15] Tsu**
Get back here.
**[02:16] Tsu**
Are you gonna give up
on this perfect chance?
**[02:19] Sada**
Is something wrong?
**[02:21] Sada**
Shigeshige-san is my nephew.
**[02:23] Sada**
I don't need his permission to visit.
**[02:25] Sada**
I'm coming in, Shigeshige-san.
**[02:27] Gin**
H-Hold on!
**[02:36] Shige**
What is the meaning of this?
**[02:39] Tsu**
O-Oh no!
**[02:40] Tsu**
We said to wait!
**[02:43] Tsu**
Shogun-sama is busy right now.
**[02:48] Nobu**
Hello, we're Delivery
Yoshiwara's Nobume...
**[02:50] Tsu**
...and Tsu-ki. It's a pleasure.
***SIGN*** Inside the Palace!!
**[03:00] Sasa**
Found the princess.
**[03:03] Sasa**
Shot Grampy.
**[03:05] Sasa**
Sorry, but I already found everyone.
**[03:08] Sasa**
Forgive me for being an elite.
**[03:11] Grampy**
My apologies, Sasaki-dono!
**[03:13] Grampy**
We were just...
**[03:13] Sasa**
It's fine.
**[03:15] Sasa**
But watch where you hide.
**[03:19] Sasa**
I almost mistook you for
a villain and shot you.
**[03:22] Shin**
Almost? You nearly shot me to death!
**[03:25] Sasa**
Rotten-dono, if you agree
to take responsibility when
**[03:28] ---**
I accidentally kill the princess,
**[03:31] Sasa**
we can play another round.
**[03:33] Grampy**
We'll stop! We're going to stop!
**[03:34] Grampy**
I'm so very sorry!
**[03:36] Sasa**
A wise decision.
**[03:38] Sasa**
I would expect as much
**[03:40] ---**
from Rotten Maizo-dono,
advisor to the former shogun.
**[03:42] Sasa**
I've heard that you gave up your
left arm to show your loyalty.
**[03:48] Shin**
Grampy, you served Sadasada-sama?
**[03:51] Grampy**
I-It was a long time ago.
**[03:54] Sasa**
It was a tempestuous age of
political purges within the palace,
**[03:59] Sasa**
and Rotten-dono played a pivotal
role in keeping his master safe.
**[04:04] Sasa**
Sadasada-sama's elevation to shogun
**[04:07] ---**
was thanks to Rotten-dono's hard work
**[04:10] Sasa**
since the other candidates
were all sent to heaven.
**[04:16] Sasa**
Yes, by "heaven," I mean Yoshiwara.
**[04:20] Shin**
What do you...
**[04:21] Grampy**
Sasaki-dono, could you escort
these visitors outside?
**[04:25] Grampy**
Come with me, Your Highness.
**[04:26] Soyo**
Wait, Grampy!
**[04:28] Soyo**
Kagura-chan!
**[04:29] Kag**
Soyo-chan!
**[04:32] Tsu**
Here you are, Shogun-sama.
**[04:35] Tsu**
Come on, Shogun-sama.
**[04:37] Tsu**
You're spilling everything.
**[04:38] Tsu**
You're so hopeless.
**[04:41] Gin**
*There's no way!*
**[04:42] Gin**
*Not a chance in hell!*
**[04:44] Gin**
*There's no way we can fool him!*
**[04:46] Gin**
*Why are we bothering with this act?*
**[04:48] Gin**
*His eyes are rolled back!*
**[04:50] Gin**
*The former shogun's eyes
are also rolled back!*
**[04:53] Tsu**
Say something! Say something, now!
**[04:56] Gin**
I'm not a ventriloquist!
**[04:57] Tsu**
Still beats staying quiet! Hurry up!
**[05:00] Gin**
Y-Yeah, you gave me a scare
**[05:03] Gin**
since you walked in without
any warning, Uncle!
**[05:05] Gin**
Give me a break!
**[05:07] Gin**
I look like a fool now!
**[05:11] Tsu**
Why are you being so casual?!
**[05:13] Tsu**
Act more serious, like the shogun would!
**[05:15] Gin**
Bring Genda Tessho-san here, then!
**[05:17] Gin**
I don't know how to
play a serious shogun!
**[05:20] Nobu**
My apologies, Dearest Uncle.
**[05:22] Gin**
*She can mimic voices?*
**[05:25] Nobu**
I have humiliated myself shogun.
**[05:27] Gin**
*Huh, shogun?*
**[05:28] Nobu**
I'm so embarrassed shogun.
**[05:30] Gin**
*Hey! Why do you end every
sentence with shogun?!*
**[05:33] Nobu**
Please forget what you saw shogun.
**[05:35] Gin**
*You're sounding like Korosuke now!*
**[05:37] Gin**
*Who are you trying to imitate?!*
**[05:40] Nobu**
Oh, that's odd.
**[05:42] Nobu**
The shogun is talking faster than
his mouth can move shogun.
**[05:45] Gin**
*Nobody asked for an
Ikkoku-dou impression!*
**[05:47] Sada**
No, I should be the one apologizing.
**[05:51] Sada**
You seemed to frown upon such behavior.
**[05:54] Sada**
I did some crazy things when I was young,
though nothing as bold as this.
**[05:59] Gin**
*What does he think was going on here?!*
**[06:01] Sada**
But I'm shocked that the Mimawarigumi
would allow visitors inside.
**[06:05] Sada**
It seems that they aren't
here to protect us.
**[06:09] Sada**
Look at that.
**[06:11] Gin**
Huh? Er, can I sit here?
**[06:13] Gin**
Can I just stare at his
receding hairline from here?
**[06:15] Tsu**
Of course not!
**[06:16] Tsu**
Stand up! Get over there!
**[06:17] Sada**
They claim to be training, but
that's no more than an excuse.
**[06:21] Sada**
They're monitoring us.
**[06:23] Sada**
You know that the current Bakufu
**[06:24] Tsu**
Hey, be careful!
**[06:25] ---**
is split between our faction,
which backs you,
**[06:26] Sada**
and the faction that
wants to make one of
**[06:30] ---**
the young Hitotsubashis Shogun, yes?
**[06:33] Sada**
The recent assassination victims
**[06:35] ---**
have all been members of
the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[06:38] Sada**
That is why they suspect us.
**[06:42] Sada**
The Mimawarigumi have strong ties
to the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[06:47] Sada**
They may attempt to make
false accusations.
**[06:52] Sada**
Try not to do anything that would
attract their attention.
**[06:59] Tsu**
Shogun-sama, give me back my underwear!
**[07:03] Nobu**
This doesn't seem right.
**[07:04] Gin**
Any naughty underwear around shogun?
**[07:06] Gin**
Ugh, this stinks!
**[07:07] Sada**
Shigeshige-san...
**[07:09] Sada**
Was your hair always so bushy?
**[07:12] Gin**
Oh, this hair was on her underwear.
**[07:14] Sada**
I don't remember that bushy object
being in this room before.
**[07:18] Nobu**
Oh, this hair was always here shogun.
**[07:21] Sada**
Honestly, I can't tell if you're
being resilient or foolish.
**[07:25] Gin**
*Wait, it worked?*
**[07:27] Sada**
But try to control yourself.
**[07:31] Sada**
I've seen many people ruin
their lives because of women.
**[07:36] Sada**
Yes, beware of courtesans.
**[07:41] Tsu**
My Lord.
**[07:43] Tsu**
Please forgive my interruption.
**[07:46] Tsu**
But there is something I must ask.
**[07:48] Tsu**
Do you remember the courtesan Suzuran?
**[07:53] Tsu**
No, it doesn't matter if
you don't remember her.
**[07:56] Tsu**
I just... I just...
**[07:58] Sasa**
I see.
**[08:00] ---**
So you want to know the
connection between
**[08:02] ---**
that courtesan and Sadasada-sama.
**[08:04] Shin**
It sounded like you knew something.
**[08:07] Sasa**
Let me offer you some advice.
**[08:09] Sasa**
Give me your e-mail
addresses and leave.
**[08:12] Shin**
We don't have any!
**[08:13] Sasa**
Become my e-mail buddies and leave.
**[08:15] Kag**
We'd rather stay strangers!
**[08:17] Sasa**
The courtesan who bewitched
and toppled our very country...
**[08:21] Sasa**
Stay out of this, unless you
want to get yourself destroyed.
**[08:25] Sada**
I see...
**[08:27] Sada**
So Suzuran is still alive.
**[08:34] Sasa**
You're right.
**[08:37] Sasa**
Lady Suzuran was Sadasada-sama's
companion when he was young.
**[08:41] Sasa**
However, he wasn't the one
who fell for her charms.
**[08:45] Sasa**
At the time, Yoshiwara was a place for
**[08:48] ---**
high-ranking officials
to meet and socialize,
**[08:51] Sasa**
and every man who visited
was entranced by her.
**[08:57] Sada**
Suzuran...
**[08:59] Sada**
How could I forget her?
**[09:01] Sada**
I could never forget.
**[09:04] Sada**
Those eyes shining with kindness...
**[09:07] Sada**
The graceful way she moved...
**[09:10] Sada**
Her silky hair...
**[09:11] Sada**
Glossy lips...
**[09:13] Sada**
Supple skin...
**[09:18] Sada**
And...
**[09:23] Sada**
...those blood-stained hands.
**[09:28] Sada**
I'd love to suck them off again.
**[09:33] Sasa**
He was using her.
**[09:37] Sasa**
Using her as a tool to
topple this country.
**[09:41] Sasa**
And after becoming shogun,
**[09:45] Sasa**
he prepared a puppet to succeed him,
**[09:48] Sasa**
so his influence in the
palace would not wane.
**[09:51] Kag**
What about that promise?!
**[09:54] Sasa**
Do you really think that man
**[09:56] ---**
would grant freedom to a tool
who knew his secrets?
**[09:58] Sasa**
If he ever made such a
promise, he was lying.
**[10:00] Sasa**
It was nothing more than a
curse to maintain control
**[10:04] Sasa**
over his tool.
**[10:06] Sasa**
That cunning old man is not
someone you can handle.
**[10:10] Sasa**
You should go home and let
the elites deal with this.
**[10:13] Sasa**
Yoshiwara was only the beginning.
**[10:15] Sasa**
This place has become
his hunting ground.
**[10:17] Sasa**
Who knows what might happen to you...
**[10:25] Sasa**
I just got a curry udon
stain out the other day.
**[10:28] Sasa**
See? I told you that you
were asking for trouble...
**[10:33] Shin**
Sa-Sasaki-san!
**[10:37] Sada**
Yes, I've found some more tools to use.
**[10:42] Sada**
Apprehend them.
**[10:43] Sada**
These criminals are guilty of
murdering Bakufu officials
**[10:47] ---**
as well as the leader
of those snooping dogs.
**[10:53] Hiji**
Sasaki was taken down.
**[10:55] Hiji**
Well, his life was forfeit once he
let murderers inside the palace.
**[11:01] Hiji**
The Mimawarigumi have been
removed from palace security.
**[11:04] Hiji**
It won't be long before they disband.
**[11:08] Hiji**
And we've been selected
to take their place.
**[11:11] Hiji**
But something about this stinks.
**[11:13] Kondo**
Stinks?! What does?!
**[11:14] Hiji**
I hear the alleged criminals in the serial
Bakufu murders were apprehended,
**[11:18] Hiji**
and they'll be executed
tomorrow morning
**[11:20] ---**
without conducting any investigation.
**[11:22] Hiji**
It sounds like they're trying
to cover something up.
**[11:26] Kondo**
*Oh, whew.*
**[11:28] Kondo**
*I thought he could smell my gas.*
**[11:29] Hiji**
Kondo-san?
**[11:30] Kondo**
R-Right!
**[11:32] Kondo**
Something's not right.
**[11:33] Kondo**
Let's clean up these murderers.
**[11:37] Gin**
Oh! Kondo-kun! Hijikata-kun!
**[11:40] Gin**
Fancy meeting you here!
**[11:42] Gin**
Perfect timing!
**[11:44] Gin**
I need to talk to you.
**[11:47] Gin**
I'm gonna kill you, you rotten cops!
**[11:49] Gin**
Don't ignore me! Hear me out!
**[11:50] Hiji**
It's hopeless. That's some stubborn
filth they're covered in.
**[11:53] Kondo**
That won't ever clean off.
**[11:54] Gin**
Everyone! That gorilla pooped a
little when he farted earlier!
**[11:57] Kondo**
How do you know that?!
**[11:58] Oki**
It's no use, boss.
**[12:02] Oki**
You picked the wrong enemy this time.
**[12:05] Oki**
Nobody's going to lend
an ear to your pleas.
**[12:08] Kag**
Then rip off your ear
and lend it to us!
**[12:11] Oki**
Sorry, my ears have a prior engagement.
**[12:13] Kag**
Then give me an ear of corn!
**[12:14] Oki**
Oh? I see a familiar face in there.
**[12:17] Oki**
That's odd. Why is there an
elite locked up with the scum?
**[12:21] Oki**
What will happen to the Mimawarigumi
if I tell the shogun?
**[12:25] Oki**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:26] Oki**
Sorry, you guys are
already finished, regardless.
**[12:33] Nobu**
Hand over a Pon De Ring!
**[12:35] Oki**
That's what you want?!
You're ripping me apart!
**[12:37] Kag**
Give me my dinner!
**[12:40] Shin**
We really picked the wrong
opponent this time.
**[12:44] Shin**
Sasaki-san said that the palace was
Sadasada's hunting ground now.
**[12:49] Shin**
And Sasaki-san was also...
**[12:51] Nobu**
He's alive.
**[12:52] Nobu**
Isaburo is alive.
**[12:56] Tsu**
So it turns out you were right, Gintoki.
**[13:00] Tsu**
I was the one blinded by a false dream.
**[13:04] Tsu**
Suzuran was waiting for a
man that doesn't exist.
**[13:08] Tsu**
She must have known
**[13:10] Tsu**
that refusing Sadasada
would mean her death.
**[13:13] Tsu**
That the promise was meant
to chain her to Yoshiwara.
**[13:19] Tsu**
Suzuran wasn't waiting for anyone.
**[13:22] Tsu**
She had no choice but
to cling to her dreams.
**[13:31] Gramp**
Shigeshige-sama!
**[13:32] Gramp**
Please reconsider!
**[13:35] Gramp**
Those people are Princess
Soyo's friends!
**[13:38] Gramp**
If you must punish someone,
**[13:41] Gramp**
please slice off my ass instead!
**[13:44] Shogun**
Calm down, Grampy.
**[13:46] Shogun**
My uncle was the one
who saw what happened.
**[13:48] Shogun**
I know nothing.
**[13:50] Gramp**
But you're the only
one who can stop him!
**[13:54] Sada**
There's no need to worry.
**[13:57] Sada**
They are murderers.
**[14:00] Sada**
Or are you saying that I'm lying?
**[14:05] Gramp**
B-By no means...
**[14:09] Sada**
Get some rest, Shigeshige-san.
**[14:11] Sada**
This old man will take care
of everything for you.
**[14:18] Kon**
Lord Sadasada?!
**[14:20] Kon**
Is that true?!
**[14:21] Oki**
I don't know if it's true,
but that's their story.
**[14:26] Kon**
Toshi!
**[14:28] Hiji**
So what?
**[14:29] Hiji**
Our job is to defend Edo.
**[14:32] Hiji**
It's not our problem if those pigs
want to feed on one another.
**[14:36] Kon**
But if we ignore what's happening,
**[14:37] ---**
we'll be no better than them!
**[14:40] Hiji**
Don't forget that those
pigs are the only reason
**[14:43] Hiji**
we country boys get to play samurai.
**[14:46] Kon**
I'm not interested in being a bogus
samurai that doesn't follow a code!
**[14:50] Hiji**
We have to play bogus samurai
if we want to defend anything!
**[14:53] Kon**
Don't you realize that this is what
we're supposed to be defending!
**[14:56] Yama**
Hey! Hold on!
**[14:58] Yama**
What are you two doing?!
**[15:03] Gin**
Shut up!
**[15:04] Gin**
I can't get any sleep, you bastards!
**[15:09] Kag**
Soyo-chan!
**[15:11] Gin**
*Is she going to save us while
those fools are fighting?*
**[15:14] Soyo**
Um, I was having trouble
falling asleep all by myself.
**[15:18] Soyo**
Can I sleep out here?
**[15:21] Soyo**
I'd gotten used to Nobume-san
sleeping with me,
**[15:24] ---**
so I was too scared to fall asleep.
**[15:26] Shin**
Uh, we're the ones who should
be too scared to fall asleep.
**[15:29] Soyo**
I'm a little nervous since this
is almost like a sleepover.
**[15:32] Shin**
Uh, we're the ones who
should be nervous.
**[15:34] Shin**
We're going to be executed tomorrow.
**[15:36] Soyo**
Don't worry.
**[15:37] Soyo**
Grampy will prove your innocence.
**[15:40] Soyo**
If you still can't fall asleep...
**[15:43] Soyo**
I know!
**[15:44] Soyo**
I can tell you some bedtime stories
**[15:47] ---**
that Grampy told me when I was little.
**[15:49] Soyo**
They're so boring that you'll
fall asleep in no time.
**[15:52] Soyo**
Um...
**[15:53] Soyo**
Long, long ago...
**[15:55] Shin**
How boring do you expect it to be?!
**[15:57] Shin**
That's rude!
**[15:58] Soyo**
Long, long ago, there was
a lord and his retainer.
**[16:04] Soyo**
The lord's wife was the most
beautiful princess in the land,
**[16:08] Soyo**
and she cared about him very much.
**[16:11] Soyo**
But the lord used the
princess's feelings,
**[16:14] Soyo**
threw her in prison, and forced
her to do terrible things.
**[16:19] Soyo**
The princess could only cry
in her prison every night.
**[16:23] Soyo**
The retainer felt sorry for the princess
and often came to wipe her tears.
**[16:30] Soyo**
Yes, for he had fallen in
love with the princess.
**[16:37] Soyo**
However...
**[16:39] Sada**
*Dispose of Suzuran.*
**[16:42] Soyo**
The retainer would be
killed if he didn't obey.
**[16:44] Soyo**
But he couldn't bring himself
to kill the woman he loved.
**[16:49] Soyo**
Instead, they made a promise.
**[16:52] Soyo**
They would escape together.
**[16:54] Soyo**
"I will take you with me on the
night of the next full moon."
**[16:58] Soyo**
And then they exchanged a pinky swear.
**[17:02] Soyo**
But he never returned,
**[17:07] Soyo**
for the lord already knew about them.
**[17:09] Sada**
*How long will Suzuran wait for you,*
**[17:14] Sada**
*a man who's long forgotten his promise?*
**[17:18] Sada**
*The woman will wait for
the rest of her life*
**[17:20] ---**
*for a man who will never come,*
**[17:21] Sada**
*while the man will live
the rest of his life*
**[17:24] ---**
*with the pain of breaking his promise.*
**[17:27] Sada**
*A beautiful story, yes?*
**[17:30] Soyo**
If the retainer were to go see the
princess, she would be killed.
**[17:33] Soyo**
Their promise was transformed
into a chain heavier than death.
**[17:37] Soyo**
So he swore to himself.
**[17:39] Soyo**
It didn't matter how many
full moons came and went.
**[17:42] Soyo**
It didn't matter if they
were covered in wrinkles.
**[17:46] Soyo**
It didn't matter if the
princess forgot about him.
**[17:49] Soyo**
He would live until the day he met her.
**[17:52] Soyo**
And so, he continues to live by
crawling on his three limbs.
**[17:58] Sada**
Maizo, I heard something
fascinating that
**[18:01] ---**
I wanted to pass on to you.
**[18:03] Sada**
Suzuran is still living in Yoshiwara.
**[18:06] Sada**
But she won't survive much longer.
**[18:09] Sada**
Do you wish to see her?
**[18:11] Sada**
How many full moons have come and gone?
**[18:14] Sada**
I suppose it's time to forgive you.
**[18:17] Sada**
I'll let you go see her.
**[18:19] Sada**
Take responsibility for inviting
those criminals into the palace.
**[18:24] Sada**
Disembowel yourself.
**[18:26] Sada**
Suzuran will be waiting
for you in hell.
**[18:30] Soyo**
And the princess and retainer were...
**[18:33] Tsu**
Stop.
**[18:35] Tsu**
We've heard enough, Your Highness.
**[18:37] Soyo**
You weren't able to fall asleep?
**[18:39] Gin**
No.
**[18:40] Gin**
We already know the rest of the story.
**[18:44] Shin**
Can you open the door
now, Your Highness?
**[18:47] Soyo**
Huh? How?
**[18:48] Kag**
Over there.
**[18:50] Kag**
They were tossed in when you entered.
**[18:56] Kon**
What are you waiting for?
**[18:58] Kon**
Come out here. It's time
for your execution.
**[19:01] Kon**
Put on your execution clothes.
**[19:08] Oki**
Boss, don't forget you
have an appointment
**[19:10] ---**
with the executioner's block.
**[19:11] Oki**
Make sure you come back
with your head attached
**[19:15] Oki**
since we'll need to chop it off.
**[19:16] Hiji**
Try to commit a crime that's
worthy of this punishment.
**[19:20] Hiji**
What crime will you be guilty of?
**[19:23] Gin**
The crime of
**[19:25] Gin**
ripping off a lord's
topknot down there.
**[19:28] Kon**
This may be the last
time we send him off.
**[19:33] Nobu**
The same goes for you.
**[19:35] Nobu**
Now that you've sided with
us, there's no turning back.
**[19:38] Hiji**
Don't worry about that.
**[19:40] Hiji**
If you cause an uproar, that old man
will start to show his true colors.
**[19:45] Hiji**
Once there's no one left to
interfere, we'll grill him good.
**[19:50] Oki**
So you can go die in peace.
**[19:53] Oki**
Or do you want me to dispatch you now,
**[19:58] Oki**
murderer?
**[20:05] Nobu**
Remember this.
**[20:07] Nobu**
You have no allies in this palace.
**[20:11] Nobu**
If you aren't prepared to take over
this country, you'll all die.
**[20:14] Nobu**
The only difference is that
**[20:16] ---**
you'll be eliminated by
that old man instead of me.
**[20:19] Nobu**
If you want to join in the
battle for this nation,
**[20:22] Nobu**
forget about anything
being black or white.
**[20:28] Sada**
What's going on?
**[20:30] Sada**
Are there more bandits about?
**[20:40] Gin**
Zura would love to see this.
**[20:45] Gin**
Who would have thought we'd be trying
**[20:47] ---**
to seize this country for
the sake of an old woman?
**[20:50] Shin**
This makes us wanted criminals.
**[20:54] Shin**
Sis won't be happy.
**[20:55] Kag**
Don't worry, sister lover.
**[20:57] Kag**
If there's no place for us
on Earth, we'll go to space.
**[21:01] Gin**
Odd Jobs in space?
**[21:03] Gin**
That doesn't sound too bad.
**[21:05] Tsu**
The independent city Yoshiwara
will keep you safe.
**[21:09] Gin**
Odd Jobs in Yoshiwara?
**[21:12] Tsu**
No, there's a gay bar
that's understaffed.
**[21:15] Soyo**
That means we'll be seizing your
balls after you seize this country.
**[21:19] Kag**
Ow!
**[21:21] Kag**
Why did you hit me?!
**[21:22] Gin**
Were you the one who
brought her with us?
**[21:24] Gin**
Were you the one who taught
her those dirty jokes?
**[21:26] Kag**
It's your fault for telling dirty
jokes to innocent little girls!
**[21:30] Kag**
Girls our age absorb
everything like sponges!
**[21:33] Gin**
A sponge?! You're more like a
dirty rag soaked in milk!
**[21:35] Kag**
Shut up, toilet paper!
**[21:37] Gin**
I at least deserve to be called a rag!
A rag used to wipe asses!
**[21:47] Tsu**
Are you sure about this?
**[21:50] Tsu**
You'll be sacrificing
everything for Yoshiwara.
**[21:52] Gin**
It's too late.
**[21:55] Gin**
I already made a promise.
**[21:57] Tsu**
I see.
**[21:59] Tsu**
In that case...
**[22:01] Tsu**
Promise me this.
**[22:03] Tsu**
We will all return alive.
**[22:10] Gin**
It's a promise.
***SIGN*** To be continued...
**[23:45] Gin**
I'm starting to feel the pressure.
**[23:47] Gin**
There was the One Piece film
at the end of the year.
**[23:49] Gin**
Then you've got Hunter x Hunter and
Dragon Ball films in spring, and us in summer.
**[23:52] Kag**
We should ask TV Tokyo to show our
movie with the Pokemon movie.
**[23:57] Gin**
That's it!
**[23:58] Shin**
That's it, my ass!
***SIGN*** Five Pinkies
***SIGN*** The Bakufu army stands in the way.
***SIGN*** Overwhelming manpower!! Firepower!!
***SIGN*** Our five heroes have made a promise
***SIGN*** to seize this country!!

**[00:01] Sada**
These criminals are guilty
of murdering Bakufu officials
**[00:04] ---**
as well as the leader
of those snooping dogs.
**[00:09] Tsu**
Stop.
**[00:10] Tsu**
We've heard enough, Your Highness.
**[00:12] Gin**
We already know the rest of the story.
**[00:14] Hiji**
Try to commit a crime that's

We will all return alive.
***SIGN*** Five Pinkies
**[02:17] Gin**
I promise.
**[02:19] Gin**
We'll bring the old man
back to Suzuran together.
**[02:22] Nobu**
Finished with your last farewells?
**[02:26] Shin**
Nobume-san?
**[02:27] Shin**
Are you joining us?
**[02:29] Nobu**
As a survivor of the Mimawarigumi,
**[02:31] Nobu**
I must fulfill my mission.
**[02:34] Nobu**
Besides...
**[02:35] Nobu**
I'll get to cut people up.
**[02:39] Kag**
Hey!
**[02:41] Nobu**
Out of the way, mobs.
**[02:43] Kag**
Or else we kill the princess!
**[02:44] All**
Your Highness!
**[02:46] A**
How dare you disrespect Her Highness?!
**[02:48] A**
A hundred executions wouldn't
be enough to punish this crime!
**[02:51] Kag**
Shut the hell up!
**[02:52] Kag**
Zip your stinkin' mouths!
**[02:54] Nobu**
Every time someone speaks,
I cut off a finger.
**[02:58] Shin**
Gin-san, assuming that
we manage to survive,
**[03:01] Shin**
we won't be able to
live in Edo anymore.
**[03:03] Soyo**
H-Help!
**[03:05] Soyo**
Why is this happening to me?!
**[03:07] Shin**
This is the only time her
acting has been believable!
**[03:10] Shin**
How are we supposed to explain this?!
**[03:13] Nobu**
She said to zip your stinkin' mouth.
**[03:15] Soyo**
That applies to me, too?
**[03:16] Nobu**
How many times did you speak?
**[03:17] Soyo**
I-I don't know...
**[03:19] Nobu**
Okay...
**[03:20] Nobu**
I don't feel like counting,
so I'll do this.
**[03:22] Shin**
What?!
**[03:23] All**
Your Highness!
**[03:24] Nobu**
Okay, you talked again,
so one more time.
**[03:26] A**
We understand! Let them pass!
**[03:28] Nobu**
Okay, you talked again,
so one more time.
**[03:30] Shin**
Enough! That's enough!
**[03:34] Soyo**
That went well.
**[03:36] Shin**
No, that did not go well, Your Highness.
**[03:39] Shin**
The damage to our reputation
is irreparable now.
**[03:41] Soy**
I was really nervous, but it was funny
**[03:43] ---**
how everyone was so surprised, right?
**[03:46] Both**
Right.
**[03:47] Shin**
The Three Sadisteers can shut up!
**[03:49] Tsu**
However, it would be dangerous to
continue this charade, Your Highness.
**[03:51] Tsu**
Please find a place to hide.
**[03:53] Soyo**
Please let me help you see this through.
**[03:57] Soyo**
I didn't know what I was doing,
**[03:59] ---**
but I was the one chaining
Grampy inside the castle.
**[04:02] Soyo**
Grampy probably wanted
to leave the castle
***SIGN*** All right!
**[04:06] ---**
far more than I did, but
I never noticed a thing...
**[04:08] [SONG] Caption**
Behave yourself,
Your Highness!
**[04:09] Soyo**
He was always watching over me.
**[04:11] Soyo**
So it's my turn to help him.
**[04:14] Soyo**
Even if it means he'll
scold me for misbehaving.
**[04:17] Kag**
Soyo-chan...
**[04:18] Soyo**
Let's hurry.
**[04:19] Soyo**
My uncle is over here.
**[04:22] Shin**
Your Highness?!
**[04:24] Shin**
Wait!
**[04:25] Shin**
She just knocked herself out
after saying she wanted to help!
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs
**[04:28] Shin**
This looks like a murder scene now!
**[04:30] Shin**
And why did she write Odd
Jobs as her dying message?!
**[04:34] Tsu**
We can't let anyone see this!
**[04:36] Nobu**
It's faster to destroy the evidence.
**[04:37] Tsu**
You're too fast!
**[04:39] Gin**
Oops, I really embarrassed myself.
**[04:41] Gin**
Wait.
**[04:42] Gin**
My embarrassment is faster
than my mouth can move.
**[04:45] Tsu**
Enough with the Ikkoku-dou!
**[04:47] All**
What have you bastards done?!
**[04:50] Shin**
There's a whole horde coming for us!
**[04:52] Kag**
Hold on, Soyo-chan!
**[04:54] A**
Kill every single one of the rebels!
**[04:57] A**
No mercy for the women and children!
**[05:02] Kag**
Women and children?
**[05:04] Kag**
That's some big talk!
**[05:07] Nobu**
Naturally, that scum
would be served by scum.
**[05:10] Nobu**
This nation has no respect for women.
**[05:17] All**
Open fire!
**[05:20] Tsu**
Show that you can stop
the women you sneer at!
**[05:25] Tsu**
Show that you can defend the castle
**[05:27] ---**
built upon the tears of those women!
**[05:30] Tsu**
Since you've forgotten about them,
**[05:33] Tsu**
we'll have to remind you!
**[05:35] A**
Kill them!
**[05:44] Tsu**
These women
**[05:46] Tsu**
have come to topple a county.
**[05:50] Gin**
Good grief.
**[05:51] Gin**
We've got three nation
breakers with us.
**[05:53] Shin**
That sounds tougher than
taking on the shogun.
**[05:57] Gin**
I'll give you some advice.
Call for reinforcements.
**[06:00] Gin**
You might be the shogun's
personal guards,
**[06:03] Gin**
but you're probably too soft from
all the peace and quiet to take us on.
**[06:07] Gin**
Meanwhile, we're still at war,
**[06:10] Gin**
fighting for our lives every day
against those psychos!
**[06:33] Kag**
Gin-chan, how many do we each take?
**[06:36] Gin**
One hundred, two hundred...
**[06:38] Gin**
Forget it. I'm putting myself to sleep.
**[06:41] Gin**
Listen up.
**[06:42] Gin**
Stay close together.
**[06:44] Gin**
Trust the rest of us to watch your back
**[06:47] Gin**
and focus on the enemies
in front of you.
**[06:49] Gin**
As long as you're standing,
we're all standing.
**[06:53] Gin**
Become the blade for
taking down that wall.
**[06:56] Gin**
We're gonna crush the
shogun's silly toy box!
**[07:00] Gin**
It's time to seize
**[07:01] Gin**
this country!
**[07:03] A**
S-Stop them!
**[07:05] A**
Form a wall!
**[07:06] A**
We can't let these rebels
get any closer to our lor—
**[07:10] Gin**
Weak!
**[07:11] Gin**
Weaker than Zazami Original!
**[07:14] Gin**
And you call yourselves
the shogun's samurai?!
**[07:19] A**
W-We can't stop them!
**[07:20] A**
Not from the front, the
right, the left, the rear!
**[07:24] A**
There's no opening!
**[07:25] A**
The five rebels are
like a giant bullet!
**[07:28] B**
Move!
**[07:30] B**
We're going to shoot
down these crazy fools!
**[07:37] B**
Fire!
**[07:38] B**
Fire! Fire! Fire!
**[07:49] B**
W-Watch our flanks!
**[08:01] A**
Second round loaded!
**[08:03] A**
Blow 'em to smithereens!
**[08:23] B**
Again!
**[08:24] B**
Hurry up with the next shot!
**[08:28] A**
W-Wait! Our comrades are inside!
**[08:34] Shin**
That was mean, Kagura-chan!
**[08:35] Shin**
Why am I the only one
getting this treatment?!
**[08:37] A**
Shit! They took the cannon!
**[08:46] Gin**
We finally made it to
the shogun's place.
**[08:49] Kag**
Huh? I don't see an intercom.
**[08:51] Gin**
Oh well.
**[08:53] Gin**
We'll have to use this.
**[08:54] A**
Wait!
**[08:55] A**
Not that!
**[08:56] A**
Anything but that!
**[08:57] Gin**
Shogun-sama!
**[08:58] Gin**
Come out and play!
**[09:09] Gin**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Shogun-sama.
**[09:12] Gin**
The #1 delivery lady, the courtesan
Suzuran, has come to see you.
**[09:17] Gin**
And it's too late to request a change.
**[09:19] Gin**
Did you wash that filthy ass of yours?
**[09:22] Gin**
You won't be getting any sleep tonight.
**[09:27] Sada**
Life is filled with surprises.
**[09:29] Sada**
You must be the first in
history to insult the Bakufu
**[09:32] ---**
and sully the Tokugawa name
in such a fashion.
**[09:37] Sada**
If you intended to beg for mercy,
you've only added to your crimes.
**[09:42] Nobu**
You are the criminal here.
**[09:45] Nobu**
I, Imai Nobume, vice-captain
of the Mimawarigumi,
**[09:49] ---**
know everything you've done.
**[09:51] Nobu**
Tokugawa Sadasada,
**[09:53] Nobu**
you are under arrest for the
assassination of Bakufu officials.
**[09:57] Sada**
A surviving Hitotsubashi
dog is talking about
**[10:01] ---**
judging me in a court of law?
**[10:04] Sada**
How can you judge me when
I rule this country?
**[10:08] ---**
When I am the law?
**[10:11] Tsu**
If we cannot judge you on the surface,
**[10:13] Tsu**
we will judge you underground.
**[10:15] Tsu**
The woman's tears you
spilled in Yoshiwara...
**[10:18] Tsu**
The man's blood you spilled...
**[10:19] Tsu**
The heavens may forgive you,
**[10:22] Tsu**
but the law in Yoshiwara,
Lady Death, will not.
**[10:27] Tsu**
Release that man.
**[10:28] Tsu**
Where did you take him?
**[10:32] Tsu**
I just asked you a question!
**[10:42] Oboro**
When disaster strikes,
**[10:44] Oboro**
some choose to curse the heavens.
**[10:47] Oboro**
When misfortune befalls you,
**[10:50] Oboro**
it is the will of the heavens.
**[10:52] Oboro**
The fate the heavens have dealt.
**[10:54] Oboro**
You must silently accept that fate.
**[10:57] Oboro**
Our blades serve as the
voice of the heavens.
**[11:00] Kag**
Who are they?
**[11:01] Nobu**
Be careful. That's not
your ordinary cult.
**[11:04] Nobu**
They're a group of assassins
who have served
**[11:07] ---**
the rulers of this nation from
the shadows for a long time.
**[11:11] Nobu**
Men of taboo who were eliminated
from central government
**[11:14] Nobu**
when we entered a period of peace.
**[11:16] Nobu**
When the Oniwabanshu was disbanded,
**[11:20] Nobu**
Sadasada turned to them
for his shady business.
**[11:23] Oboro**
We are the Yatagarasu for the heavens.
**[11:26] Oboro**
The Tenshoin Naraku.
**[11:29] Nobu**
Oboro...
**[11:30] Nobu**
The leader of the Tenshoin and
the strongest Naraku warrior.
**[11:34] Nobu**
That man is involved in this?
**[11:36] Sada**
The one to judge is heaven.
In other words, the shogun.
**[11:40] Sada**
The earth-crawlers are the
ones who are judged.
**[11:43] Sada**
That is how the world works.
**[11:45] Sada**
You are only allowed to
look up at the heavens.
**[11:49] Sada**
However, you need not lament.
**[11:51] Sada**
The heavens do not
always bring disaster.
**[11:56] Sada**
The heavens also bring good fortune.
**[12:00] Sada**
I believe you were
looking for that man.
**[12:03] Shin**
Gr-Grampy!
**[12:05] Sada**
If you can escape alive, you will be
able to reunite him with Suzuran.
**[12:09] Sada**
Though I doubt he will survive
long enough to reach Yoshiwara.
**[12:13] Sada**
Even if he does survive,
**[12:18] Sada**
he's lost the pinky he swore on
and the arm he used to hold her.
**[12:24] Sada**
He should just end his miserable life.
**[12:27] Sada**
So much for loyalty when he's
betrayed me not once, but twice.
**[12:31] Sada**
The heavens are punishing
him as a result.
**[12:35] Sada**
And now he's literally an
earth-crawling worm.
**[13:01] Gin**
Hey.
**[13:03] Gin**
The pinky he swore on is still around.
**[13:07] Gin**
He's got five pinkies right
here that are gonna drag you
**[13:11] ---**
from heaven to hell.
**[13:29] Grampy**
Wh-What are you...?
**[13:31] Tsu**
You've endured so much.
**[13:34] Tsu**
You've been through so much.
**[13:36] Tsu**
I'm sorry that you had to wait so long.
**[13:41] Tsu**
But there's nothing to worry about.
**[13:43] Tsu**
The moon you have longed for
**[13:45] Tsu**
has risen.
**[13:47] Tsu**
In the land where you once made a vow,
**[13:50] Tsu**
there is a light that will
shine through any darkness.
**[13:54] Tsu**
This moon will never fall.
**[13:58] Tsu**
Shinpachi, Kagura, please guide him.
**[14:01] Tsu**
We'll bring up the rear.
**[14:03] Nobu**
I'm allowed to cut down
whoever I want now, right?
**[14:06] Tsu**
Yes, do as you please.
**[14:08] Tsu**
In the morning, this will have
been nothing more than a dream.
**[14:16] Sada**
You're buying time for
an old man to escape?
**[14:19] Sada**
Do you really think you can escape
**[14:22] Sada**
from my grasp?
**[14:25] Gin**
I'm not running away.
**[14:28] Gin**
Is it gonna be the sun or the
moon that sits up in the sky?
**[14:32] Gin**
Let's settle this once and for all.
**[14:34] Gin**
How about it, heavenly errand boy?
**[14:47] Tsu**
Let's go!
**[15:56] Tsu**
What are you doing, Gintoki?!
**[15:57] Tsu**
Pull yourself together!
**[15:58] Nobu**
If you want to die, I'll
cut you up right now.
**[16:01] Nobu**
You were hit in a pressure point.
**[16:03] Nobu**
By a poisoned needle.
**[16:05] Gin**
Is it bad?
**[16:06] Nobu**
It'll paralyze you,
**[16:08] Nobu**
and kill you if the poison isn't removed.
**[16:14] Sada**
You seem to be struggling.
**[16:17] Sada**
It's rare to see someone
last so long against you, Oboro.
**[16:26] Oboro**
Actually, it's happened once before.
**[16:30] Oboro**
There was a demon who chose
to oppose the heavens.
**[16:40] Oboro**
You still have that same
look in your eyes,
**[16:44] Oboro**
White Yaksha.
**[16:45] Gin**
Yo—
**[16:48] Gin**
You're...
**[16:50] Tsu**
Gintoki?
**[16:51] Sada**
Oh? Do you know him, Oboro?
**[16:55] Oboro**
My Lord, he is an orphan
of the Kansei purge.
**[16:58] Tsu**
Kansei purge?
**[17:01] Sada**
Are you from Yoshiwara?
**[17:03] Sada**
Then you wouldn't know.
**[17:06] Sada**
The Joi war...
**[17:07] Sada**
When the nation was opened
up, the ignorant samurai
**[17:11] ---**
accused the Bakufu of selling
the country and revolted.
**[17:17] Sada**
As our relationship with the Amanto
soured, we put down the samurai.
**[17:22] Sada**
Ever since, this nation has
been in a state of civil war.
**[17:27] Sada**
As the war dragged on, the Amanto
began intervening in domestic affairs
**[17:31] ---**
under the pretense
of cleansing the rebels.
**[17:36] Sada**
Ironic that the Joi revolt led
to increased Amanto influence.
**[17:41] Sada**
And then the Tendoshu instructed
the Bakufu to initiate
**[17:45] ---**
the deadliest cleansing of the
century, the Kansei purge.
**[17:49] Sada**
Every last Joi rebel, from
the minor agitators to
**[17:53] ---**
the public officials, was
targeted as part of the purge.
**[17:57] Sada**
The brutal crackdown led to a
sharp decline in Joi activity.
**[18:03] Sada**
Oboro and his brethren were
instrumental in that process.
**[18:08] Sada**
They were led by his predecessor,
**[18:12] ---**
but he was every bit as
skilled in the martial arts.
**[18:17] Oboro**
My Lord, that wasn't the
end of the samurai.
**[18:22] Oboro**
While many samurai threw away their
swords after losing their leaders,
**[18:26] Oboro**
some were plotting to rescue
one of those captive leaders.
**[18:31] Oboro**
They were these men, the ones
known as the last samurai.
**[18:38] Oboro**
They were the students of
**[18:40] ---**
the evil criminal who dared
to oppose the heavens,
**[18:43] Oboro**
Yoshida Shoyo.
**[18:45] Oboro**
His students took up their swords
to rescue their teacher.
**[18:51] Tsu**
G-Gintoki?
**[18:53] Tsu**
You lost your teacher?
**[18:56] Oboro**
Do you recall that name, my Lord?
**[19:00] Sada**
Yoshida Shoyo...
**[19:03] Sada**
Was there such a person?
**[19:07] Sada**
Do you think I remember the corpses of
**[19:09] ---**
every worm I stomped on my way to power?
**[19:11] Sada**
If he happened to be a major
criminal, I might remember him.
**[19:14] Sada**
What was his crime?
**[19:18] Oboro**
Actually, I can't recall either.
**[19:22] Oboro**
I do remember that he
taught sword and pen
**[19:25] ---**
to some children in the country.
**[19:27] Sada**
That was it?
**[19:29] Oboro**
However, my Lord, we
were told to crush such gatherings
**[19:33] ---**
as they might foment rebellion.
**[19:38] Sada**
I see. And I was correct to order that.
**[19:42] Sada**
Yoshida Shoyo...
**[19:43] Sada**
His crime was creating
dissenters like him.
**[19:51] Tsu**
Wait, Gintoki!
**[19:59] Oboro**
Why is the demon who battled the
heavens and fell to the ground
**[20:03] Oboro**
still wandering around here?
**[20:09] Oboro**
Why is the demon who lost everything
to the heavens still howling at them?
**[20:15] Oboro**
You, all of you, should
have learned your lesson.
**[20:19] Oboro**
You can shout, you can scream,
**[20:22] Oboro**
but your voices will
never reach the heavens.
**[20:26] Oboro**
And neither will your sobs.
**[20:32] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[20:37] Oboro**
Will you make the same mistake
again, White Yaksha?
**[20:41] Oboro**
You can sit there and watch
until you bleed to death.
**[20:44] Oboro**
As everything you tried to
protect is destroyed again.
**[20:50] Oboro**
Shoyo is also watching
**[20:53] Oboro**
as the student he sacrificed
his life to protect
**[20:55] Oboro**
falls apart without protecting a thing.
**[21:03] Gin**
Don't you leave...
**[21:06] Gin**
Don't you leave!
**[21:09] Gin**
You bastards are...
**[21:18] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[21:27] Shin**
Kagura-chan!
**[21:29] All**
Die!
**[21:38] Gin**
*Move...*
**[21:43] Gin**
*Move!*
**[21:48] Gin**
*Please...*
**[21:50] Gin**
*Move!*
**[22:00] Kondo**
Excuse me.
**[22:01] Kondo**
What are you doing here
so late at night?
**[22:04] Sasa**
Excuse me, could you please
show me your license?
**[22:08] Kondo**
Good evening.
**[22:10] Sasa**
This is the police.
***SIGN*** To be continued...
**[23:45] Kag**
I can't wait for summer!
**[23:48] Kag**
I'm so excited!
**[23:49] Gin**
No kidding. I'm getting
goosebumps already.
**[23:52] Shin**
Yup, when we go to the
theater this summer...
**[23:54] Both**
How many Pokemon will we get?
**[23:56] Shin**
You're excited about that one?!
***SIGN*** Pinky Swear
***SIGN*** The situation is looking grim
***SIGN*** when the Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi arrive!!
***SIGN*** The revolt that began with five people

**[00:05] Oboro**
Shoyo is also watching
**[00:07] Oboro**
as the student he sacrificed
his life to protect
**[00:10] Oboro**
falls apart without protecting a thing.
**[00:14] Gin**
Don't you leave...
**[00:16] Gin**
Don't you leave!
**[00:19] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[00:30] Kondo**
Excuse me.
**[00:31] Kondo**
What are you doing here
so late at night?
**[00:34] Sasa**
Excuse me, could you please
show me your license?
**[02:09] Oboro**
Please hurry, My Lord.
**[02:11] Sada**
What's the matter, Oboro?
**[02:12] Sada**
I was hoping to watch those
rebels meet their demise.
**[02:19] Oboro**
The crows are astir.
**[02:21] Oboro**
It appears that there's
been a shift in the wind.
**[02:24] Sada**
What are you talking about?
**[02:26] Sada**
Those rebels are already...
**[02:33] Kondo**
Good evening.
**[02:35] Sasa**
This is the police.
**[02:37] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[02:41] Sasa**
If you screw up...
**[02:43] Kondo**
We'll lose our heads!
**[02:46] Gin**
Y-You guys...
***SIGN*** Pinky Swear
**[02:58] A**
I-Impossible!
**[02:59] A**
Why are the Mimawarigumi
inside the palace?!
**[03:01] B**
What's going on here?!
**[03:04] B**
You serve the Bakufu!
**[03:06] B**
You're police officers, yet you assist
the rebels, you traitorous scum?!
**[03:10] Kondo**
Assist the rebels?
**[03:12] Kondo**
Don't make false accusations.
**[03:16] Kondo**
There was an order to execute
those criminals in the morning.
**[03:20] Kondo**
If you're trying to dispatch
them before the sun is up,
**[03:24] Kondo**
you would be the ones
defying the government.
**[03:28] Kondo**
Our lord ordered us to guard
**[03:30] ---**
the criminals until the
execution takes place.
**[03:33] Kondo**
In other words, it is our duty
to protect them until morning.
**[03:40] Shin**
K-Kondo-san...
**[03:42] A**
You rural samurai don't get to talk!
**[03:44] A**
Have you forgotten who let you
country bumpkins keep your swords?!
**[03:48] A**
And now you're biting the
hand that feeds you!
**[03:51] A**
You're lower than rebel
scum, you animals!
**[03:53] Oki**
I'm fine with being an animal.
**[03:55] Oki**
Beats being a dog that wags
its tail at fat pigs.
**[04:00] Oki**
When a fat pig is lying
on the ground before you,
**[04:03] Oki**
it gets eaten by
**[04:05] Oki**
the wolves.
**[04:07] Kag**
Don't call me a pig,
you punk Chihuahua!
**[04:09] Oki**
I wasn't talking about you, Miss Piggy!
**[04:11] Kag**
It *was* about me!
**[04:12] A**
Were you the ones who let the
Mimawarigumi inside the palace?!
**[04:15] A**
Has Sasaki joined forces with the
Shinsengumi to start a coup d'etat?!
**[04:22] Hiji**
Who joined forces with who
to start a what d'etat?
**[04:27] Hiji**
Why don't you repeat that?
**[04:29] A**
Have you...
**[04:31] Hiji**
Eh? I couldn't hear you. What was that?
**[04:33] B**
...and the Mimawarigumi...
**[04:35] Hiji**
I said that I can't hear you! Yell it out!
**[04:39] C**
...joined forces?
**[04:40] Hiji**
Can't hear a thing! And I'm
not interested in hearing you!
**[04:43] Hiji**
You make me want to throw up!
**[04:44] Hiji**
Who would join forces
with those losers?!
**[04:46] Kondo**
Calm down, Toshi.
**[04:47] Hiji**
Okay, Kondo-san.
**[04:48] Hiji**
We've got them inside the palace.
**[04:50] Hiji**
Let's torch 'em with Sadasada!
**[04:52] Kondo**
Wait! That wasn't part of the plan!
**[04:54] Kondo**
Hell, you're sounding
like one of the Joi now!
**[04:55] A**
Forget it! Kill 'em all!
**[04:59] Sasa**
Oh, it appears that
they've gotten started.
**[05:03] Sasa**
As you can see, the palace has
been surrounded by us elites.
**[05:08] Sasa**
I told them to drop their weapons
and surrender, but I was lying.
**[05:13] Sasa**
I've always wanted to say that.
**[05:16] Sasa**
Please don't drop your weapons.
**[05:19] Sasa**
It would look bad if the cops
**[05:21] ---**
were to slaughter a
bunch of unarmed people.
**[05:25] Gin**
Y-You bastard...
**[05:27] Nobu**
You're late.
**[05:28] Sasa**
I'm so sorry, Nobume-san.
**[05:31] Sasa**
Thank you for carrying out your
mission alone while I was gone.
**[05:36] Sasa**
Here's a donut for you.
**[05:40] Sasa**
You see, being an elite, I was
able to avoid a lethal blow,
**[05:44] Sasa**
but it took a while to remove
the poison from my body.
**[05:46] Sasa**
Well, it was still easier than
removing a curry udon stain.
**[05:52] Sasa**
And it appears that you took good
care of our Nobume, Sakata-san.
**[05:57] Sasa**
I owe you now.
**[06:00] Nobu**
They only got in my way.
**[06:02] Sasa**
You can't blame them.
**[06:04] Sasa**
Nobume-san, they're ordinary
people, unlike us elites.
**[06:09] Sasa**
But it appears that he won't be
of any more use at this point.
**[06:13] Gin**
That's bullshit.
**[06:16] Gin**
The elite must be really
special to need help
**[06:19] ---**
from the ordinary to make it back here.
**[06:22] Sasa**
It wasn't by choice.
**[06:25] Sasa**
A certain person requested
that we work together.
**[06:28] Sasa**
And we are simply using each
other to ensure our survival.
**[06:33] Sasa**
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
**[06:35] Sasa**
Oh, excuse me.
**[06:37] Sasa**
That's probably too difficult for
you ordinary folk to understand.
**[06:41] Sasa**
Essentially, it's like Nobita and
Gian in the Doraemon movies.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Two rivals who will use each other
to achieve the same purpose
**[06:50] ---**
when faced with a crisis.
**[06:53] Gin**
Doraemon isn't such a dark story.
**[06:56] Sasa**
In other words...
**[07:04] Sasa**
Sakata-san, you are useless trash now.
**[07:09] Sasa**
Now that I've disposed of that
garbage, let's clean this place up.
**[07:17] Tsu**
Bastard!
**[07:21] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[07:22] Tsu**
Hang in there!
**[07:23] Tsu**
Hey, Ginto—
**[07:32] Tsu**
Gintoki, you...
**[07:35] Tsu**
What is this?
**[07:36] Sasa**
It's a form of acupuncture.
**[07:38] Sasa**
His body will still feel numb for a while,
**[07:40] Sasa**
but at least he'll be able to move.
**[07:43] Sasa**
I also injected some serum into him.
**[07:45] Sasa**
The elite never miss a step.
**[07:48] Sasa**
Consider my debt paid.
**[07:51] Sasa**
Now, go back to the
other ordinary people.
**[07:54] Sasa**
If you stick around, you'll end up
being taken out with the trash.
**[07:59] Gin**
Don't make me laugh.
**[08:02] Gin**
You're not giving me any interest
after taking this long to get here?!
**[08:07] Sasa**
Begging for more again?
**[08:09] Sasa**
What do you want?
**[08:17] Gin**
Sadasada's head.
**[08:19] Sasa**
Good grief.
**[08:21] Sasa**
That's a lot of interest.
**[08:25] Gin**
Nah, his head's worth nothing.
**[08:35] Sasa**
I have an order for the Mimawarigumi.
**[08:37] Sasa**
All elites will begin supporting
that ordinary man.
**[08:41] Sasa**
On our pride as elites, we must not
allow a single person to go upstairs.
**[08:48] Tsu**
You won't listen if I tell you that
your body can't take any more.
**[08:52] Tsu**
Then I'm coming with you.
**[08:53] Tsu**
I won't let you break our promise.
**[08:55] Tsu**
That goes for you and Maizo.
**[08:58] Nobu**
Time for the last stage.
**[09:00] Nobu**
I won't let you hog the glory.
**[09:04] Nobu**
The last bite of a donut
is always the best.
**[09:18] Sada**
What's going on here?
**[09:21] Oboro**
The Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi,
**[09:23] ---**
the two largest police forces
in Edo, have joined forces.
**[09:27] Sada**
I was told that they were rivals.
**[09:31] Oboro**
It would seem that someone
has brought them together.
**[09:35] Oboro**
The ship will be here soon.
**[09:36] Oboro**
You should escape, for your own safety.
**[09:40] Oboro**
My Lord.
**[09:41] Sada**
Are they serious about
taking over this country?
**[09:45] Sada**
In that case, I must respond.
**[09:50] Sada**
Summon every remaining police
force to the palace.
**[09:55] Sada**
We'll crush them with all of our might.
**[10:03] A**
Wh-What's happening?!
**[10:05] B**
B-Big trouble!
**[10:06] B**
There are armies attacking
the north and south gates!
**[10:08] A**
Impossible! Who are they?!
**[10:10] Matsu**
Listen up!
**[10:11] Matsu**
Clear me a path in three seconds
**[10:13] Matsu**
or else I blow down the gates.
**[10:15] Matsu**
One.
**[10:19] A**
What happened to two and three?!
**[10:21] Matsu**
Couldn't tell you.
**[10:22] ---**
A man only needs the number
one to get through life.
**[10:27] A**
Th-The entire police force?!
**[10:30] A**
Impossible!
**[10:31] A**
The police are rebelling?!
**[10:34] A**
That's absolutely absurd!
**[10:36] A**
This is no uprising!
**[10:38] A**
Nobody's capable of bringing
all these men together!
**[10:42] Kondo**
There's one person who can do that.
**[10:44] Kondo**
One person capable of ordering
the police, or anyone, around.
**[10:48] Kondo**
You still don't understand
what this is, Lord Sadasada?
**[11:06] Shige**
You are the traitor who has betrayed
**[11:08] Shige**
this country.
**[11:10] Sada**
Shigeshige... So you're behind this.
**[11:13] A**
My Lord! What are you doing here?!
**[11:17] Shige**
Lower your weapons.
**[11:19] Shige**
We've wasted too much time fighting.
**[11:21] Shige**
You men are valuable soldiers
who defend this country.
**[11:25] Shige**
I will not allow you to
throw your lives away.
**[11:28] A**
B-But, My Lord...
**[11:29] A**
We have orders from Sadasada-sama.
**[11:31] Shige**
Were you not listening?
**[11:34] Shige**
I told you to drop your weapons.
**[11:50] Shige**
Will you clear a path for me?
**[11:57] A**
My Lord?!
**[11:57] A**
You mustn't!
**[11:59] A**
They're rebel scum who
wronged our country!
**[12:01] A**
It's dangerous to approach them!
**[12:07] Shin**
Sh-Shogun-sama...
**[12:10] Shige**
My shortcomings have caused
you so much suffering.
**[12:13] Shige**
Let me offer you my gratitude.
**[12:15] Shige**
Thank you for defending
my loyal retainer.
**[12:20] Shige**
If it weren't for you, I would have...
**[12:23] Shige**
We would have allowed the beloved
man who raised us to die.
**[12:28] Soyo**
Grampy!
**[12:32] Mai**
Y-Your Highness...
**[12:33] Shige**
Grampy, I'm sorry.
**[12:36] Shige**
I was by your side,
**[12:39] Shige**
yet I never realized your pain.
**[12:43] Shige**
You've devoted your life to
serving the shogun family,
**[12:48] Shige**
yet we've only made you suffer for it.
**[12:53] Shige**
Grampy, is it too late to
**[12:58] ---**
fulfill your promise?
**[13:01] Mai**
Shigeshige-sama...
**[13:07] Shige**
Soyo, take care of Grampy.
**[13:09] Soyo**
Yes, Brother.
**[13:12] Shige**
Clear a path.
**[13:17] Shige**
I need to talk to my uncle.
**[13:19] Sada**
The man who raised them?
**[13:22] Sada**
Oboro, what is he talking about?
**[13:27] Sada**
Who was the one who turned a helpless,
**[13:31] ---**
fatherless boy into the shogun?
**[13:37] Sada**
Who was the one who kept
you and this nation safe
**[13:42] ---**
while being accused of
selling out this country?!
**[13:47] Sada**
It was me!
**[13:49] Sada**
I, Tokugawa Sadasada, am
the father of this nation!
**[13:54] Sada**
My rule has kept this nation safe.
**[13:58] Sada**
Despite all that, you now
choose to turn on me?!
**[14:04] Oboro**
They say that a doll will gain
a heart if enough time passes,
**[14:09] Oboro**
though it seems that this doll
was given a stubborn soul.
**[14:13] Oboro**
He's realized that you were protecting
yourself, not this nation.
**[14:19] Oboro**
If you continue to
cling to this country,
**[14:22] ---**
your position may not
be the only thing lost.
**[14:24] Oboro**
You may lose your life.
**[14:26] Oboro**
Please join me in seeking
help from the Tendoshu.
**[14:30] Sada**
Are you telling me to abandon
**[14:32] ---**
what's taken me half
my life to build up?!
**[14:34] Sada**
To run off to the Tendoshu and
allow these traitors to live?!
**[14:40] Oboro**
Considering the contributions
you have made,
**[14:42] ---**
they will surely assist
in restoring you to power.
**[14:46] Sada**
Nonsense.
**[14:48] Sada**
They consider both myself
and Shigeshige...
**[14:51] Sada**
No, they consider this entire planet
to be nothing more than a tool.
**[14:55] Sada**
Isn't that right, messenger
of the heavens,
**[14:58] Sada**
Yatagarasu?
**[15:01] Sada**
The Tendoshu sent you to ensure that
I would be an expendable tool.
**[15:07] Sada**
If I am the traitor who
sold out this country,
**[15:10] Sada**
you Naraku are the crows
who feed on its carcass.
**[15:16] Sada**
That ship is here to help?
**[15:17] Sada**
Don't make me laugh!
**[15:19] Sada**
Once I meet with the Tendoshu,
**[15:21] Sada**
I'll never return to Earth.
**[15:24] Oboro**
We are ready to take
you wherever you wish.
**[15:27] Oboro**
Our mission is to assist
you in any way possible.
**[15:33] Sada**
You'll take me wherever I wish?
**[15:35] Sada**
In that case,
**[15:37] Sada**
let's go to Yoshiwara!
**[15:41] Sada**
The place where my rule began.
**[15:43] Sada**
The cursed land where I was betrayed.
**[15:47] Sada**
I want you to prove your
loyalty to me in that place.
**[15:51] Oboro**
Prove our loyalty? How?
**[15:55] Sada**
Kill Suzuran.
**[15:58] Sada**
That betrayal was where this all began.
**[16:01] Sada**
So Maizo and Suzuran...
**[16:04] Sada**
I will completely shatter your promise
and end this once and for all.
**[16:12] Sada**
I will punish every person
who dared to betray me.
**[16:17] Oboro**
If that is what you wish.
**[16:20] Oboro**
I will follow shortly.
**[16:22] Oboro**
Set sail for Yoshiwara.
**[16:31] Gin**
Yoshiwara?
**[16:33] Gin**
I don't think so.
**[16:36] Gin**
This ship won't take you to paradise...
**[16:40] Gin**
It's headed straight to hell, bastard.
**[17:04] ---**
You bastard...
**[17:08] Kondo**
Did he pull it off?
**[17:11] Kagura**
Gi—
**[17:12] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[17:16] Oboro**
You refuse to die.
**[17:19] Oboro**
I didn't expect you to drag that
beaten body back before me again.
**[17:23] Oboro**
You continue to fight?
You continue to howl?
**[17:27] Oboro**
If you would close your eyes, you
would not suffer any more loss.
**[17:31] Oboro**
Yet you return to the
battlefield again,
**[17:35] Oboro**
White Yaksha.
**[17:37] Oboro**
It's too late now.
**[17:39] Oboro**
No matter how much you struggle,
**[17:41] Oboro**
none of it will come back to you.
**[17:44] Oboro**
Not this country, not your
friends, not Shoyo...
**[17:47] Sada**
Th-The Tendoshu!
**[17:49] Sada**
Did they come here after
hearing about the revolt?!
**[17:53] Sada**
I-It's over...
**[17:55] Sada**
You're all finished!
**[18:01] Oboro**
You are nothing more than a ghost
**[18:02] ---**
who roams the battlefield in
search of that which was lost.
**[18:05] Oboro**
This is not where you belong.
**[18:09] Oboro**
You will be consumed by the flames
of revenge and sent back to hell,
**[18:13] Oboro**
demon!
**[18:19] Oboro**
*He's trying to prevent me
from using poison needles?*
**[18:28] Oboro**
He learned my technique just
by experiencing it once?
**[18:32] Gin**
Sent back to hell?
**[18:34] Gin**
You must be dreaming.
**[18:37] Gin**
You and I are already
on a date in hell.
**[18:47] Oboro**
Do you believe you can use
my own technique against me?
**[18:50] Oboro**
My assassination techniques aren't meant
**[18:52] ---**
to attack enemy pressure points.
**[18:55] Oboro**
They're meant for controlling my own
pressure points to maximize my strength.
**[18:59] Oboro**
I can easily remove any
poison from my body.
**[19:03] Sada**
O-Oboro...
**[19:06] Gin**
That's enough.
**[19:08] Gin**
Hell's too good for that guy,
**[19:11] Gin**
but it seems appropriate
for him to be judged
**[19:13] ---**
by the laws he created.
**[19:15] Oboro**
What?!
**[19:24] Oboro**
I don't need needles to attack
your pressure points!
**[19:53] Oboro**
It's over, White Yaksha!
**[19:57] Gin**
*It's not over.*
**[19:59] Gin**
*I haven't lost.*
**[20:04] Gin**
*My body can still move.*
**[20:07] Gin**
*My hand can still reach.*
**[20:10] Shoyo**
*Gintoki,*
**[20:12] ---**
*look after things for me.*
**[20:15] Shoyo**
*Don't worry. It's no big deal.*
**[20:17] Shoyo**
*I'll be back very soon.*
**[20:21] Shoyo**
*So until then, please protect our friends,*
**[20:25] Shoyo**
*protect everyone, for me.*
**[20:33] Shoyo**
*Promise me that.*
**[20:47] Gin**
Yeah.
**[20:48] Gin**
It's a promise.
**[20:52] Gin**
Sensei!
**[21:09] Oboro**
Go back to hell, White Yaksha!
**[21:18] Gin**
Sorry, I have a prior engagement.
**[21:21] Gin**
I already made reservations,
**[21:25] Gin**
so you'll have to wait in hell for me.
**[21:30] Gin**
Say hello to Sensei for me.
**[21:32] Oboro**
You bastard!
**[22:04] Gin**
Promises shouldn't be made lightly.
**[23:45] Gin**
Uh, so when in summer is
the movie coming out?
**[23:49] Kagura**
Summer's a long time.
**[23:51] Gin**
Stupid, summer is the period
when TUBE is active.
**[23:55] Gin**
So the movie can only be released
when Maeda's feeling up to it.
**[23:58] Shin**
Hell no!

**[01:36] Nobu**
The Tendoshu...
**[01:38] Nobu**
So they've gotten off their fat
asses to save their little toy.
**[01:44] Sada**
It's rather unfortunate,
dog of the Hitotsubashi.
**[01:48] Sada**
As I told you before,
nobody can ever judge me.
**[01:52] Sada**
You are the ones who will be judged.
**[01:56] A**
Lord Sadasada, it appears that
you've suffered a serious setback.
**[02:02] A**
I won't bother asking
for an explanation.
**[02:04] A**
No matter the reason,
**[02:05] ---**
it is not in the interest of
any of the parties involved
**[02:10] ---**
to allow further commotion on
the sacred palace grounds.
**[02:12] A**
You must have your
reasons for rebelling,
**[02:16] ---**
but we will be intervening
in this matter.
**[02:19] A**
We will take temporary
custody of Lord Sadasada.
**[02:22] A**
Would you not agree that
his sentence should
**[02:25] ---**
be determined after
thorough investigation?
**[02:29] A**
And while your cause
may have been just,
**[02:32] ---**
you must be punished for
disrupting the gover—
**[02:33] Shige**
That won't be necessary.
**[02:36] Shige**
I apologize for the
long trip you've made,
**[02:40] Shige**
but this is a domestic affair.
**[02:44] Shige**
It only makes sense for us
to settle this ourselves.
**[02:47] Sada**
Sh-Shigeshige?!
**[02:48] A**
Why, if it isn't the shogun.
**[02:50] A**
I'm glad to see that you are safe.
**[02:53] A**
But are you sure about that?
**[02:55] A**
We proposed this solution
with you in mind.
**[02:58] A**
Sheltered by your uncle, you
have grown to be a gentle lord.
**[03:02] A**
Would you be capable of
executing the beloved retainers
**[03:04] ---**
who have turned their swords on you?
**[03:07] Shige**
None of them have turned
their swords on me.
**[03:11] Shige**
They may be branded traitors
and enemies of the state,
**[03:16] Shige**
but I know what it is that
they strive to protect.
**[03:20] Shige**
They do not follow laws written by
politicians for their own convenience.
**[03:25] Shige**
They do not serve the
empty title of shogun.
**[03:30] Shige**
They follow their convictions.
**[03:32] Shige**
They serve their souls.
**[03:34] Shige**
That is what they fight for.
**[03:36] Shige**
You can sully their reputation, but
you cannot tarnish their hearts.
**[03:42] Shige**
If I were to call that a crime
and punish them for it...
**[03:55] Shige**
My entire army would become criminals
**[03:57] ---**
for turning their swords
on their foolish ruler.
**[04:01] Shige**
If I tried to punish them all,
this nation would crumble.
**[04:06] Sada**
Shigeshige! You bastard!
**[04:09] Shige**
They have committed no crime.
**[04:12] Shige**
The blame lies with the shogun family
that was unworthy of ruling them.
**[04:17] Shige**
Uncle, I am prepared to accept
responsibility for failing to stop you.
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[04:25] Shige**
We can go to hell together.
**[04:30] Sada**
A-Are you going to give up
your position as shogun?!
**[04:36] Shige**
Please leave.
**[04:38] Shige**
This is
**[04:40] Shige**
Samurai Country.
***SIGN*** Unsetting Moon
**[04:49] A**
You did a spectacular job, Sasaki-dono.
**[04:54] A**
Nobunobu-sama was impressed by
the devotion you demonstrated
**[04:58] ---**
by carrying out your
mission while injured.
**[05:01] A**
You will be rewarded once
the Hitotsubashi faction
**[05:04] ---**
establishes a new government.
**[05:07] A**
Our greatest enemy, Sadasada, has been
**[05:09] ---**
imprisoned after his
crimes were exposed.
**[05:12] A**
And what's amazing is
that Shigeshige stepped
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[05:16] ---**
down as shogun to take him down.
**[05:19] A**
We are now in position
**[05:21] ---**
to name Nobunobu-sama as
the next shogun with ease.
**[05:26] Sasa**
Nezu-dono, this is a
government hospital.
**[05:30] Sasa**
There are ears everywhere.
**[05:32] A**
Impossible. The Hitotsubashi's
time has come.
**[05:36] A**
Nobody would dare to
stand against us now.
**[05:38] Hiji**
I beg to differ.
**[05:39] Hiji**
The walls have ears and
the doors have eyes.
**[05:42] Hiji**
And there are...
**[05:43] Kondo**
...fairies on your shoulders.
**[05:47] Nezu**
Demons!
**[05:48] Nezu**
I must get going!
**[05:49] Nezu**
Take care!
**[05:51] Sasa**
I never dreamed that you
would come visit me.
**[05:55] Sasa**
It appears that despite your appearance,
**[05:58] ---**
you have the hearts of fairies.
**[06:00] Hiji**
Well, you're lined up to be
the next police commissioner.
**[06:04] Hiji**
Why not start kissing some ass?
**[06:08] Hiji**
We'll come to your funeral.
**[06:12] Sasa**
Have you come to take my life after
**[06:15] ---**
realizing you were being used?
**[06:17] Kondo**
We would be happy to let you use us
if it meant a tyrant could be toppled,
**[06:21] Kondo**
but if your goal was to make our lord
**[06:24] ---**
take the fall to protect
us, we'll take steps.
**[06:30] Sasa**
Loyalty to your lord?
**[06:32] Sasa**
Topple tyrants?
**[06:34] Sasa**
Is that truly why you
took up your swords?
**[06:38] Sasa**
If you believe I orchestrated the
**[06:41] ---**
shogun's fall for the sake
of the Hitotsubashi faction,
**[06:43] ---**
you are sorely mistaken.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Not even an elite could have
predicted this would happen.
**[06:49] Sasa**
To think that the ruler
of a nation gave up his position
**[06:52] ---**
for the sake of a mere samurai.
**[06:55] Sasa**
To think that the wild monkeys
would take up their swords
**[06:58] ---**
for an ancient promise.
**[06:59] Sasa**
That man defies all reason.
**[07:02] Sasa**
That Sakata Gintoki...
**[07:05] Sasa**
I hope that capricious girl's stubborn streak
**[07:10] ---**
wasn't a result of his bad influence.
**[07:13] Sasa**
What do you say, Nobume-san?
**[07:18] Sasa**
Unfortunately, I'm not naive
enough to believe that
**[07:22] ---**
replacing the shogun
will change this world.
**[07:27] Sasa**
Instead of depending
on foreign countries,
**[07:29] Sasa**
we should build a nation
that can compete with them.
**[07:32] Sasa**
That is the dream of the
Hitotsubashi's leader,
**[07:36] Sasa**
but I'm not one to go in
for such a pipe dream.
**[07:41] Sasa**
I have much bigger plans in mind.
**[07:46] Sasa**
You don't need to worry.
**[07:47] ---**
The Tendoshu should
make their move soon.
**[07:50] Sasa**
You should be guarding Sadasada,
not hanging out here.
**[07:55] Sasa**
I had a report from my men.
**[07:58] Sasa**
The crow's carcass vanished.
**[08:04] A**
Sadasada failed us.
**[08:06] B**
He was so obsessed with
maintaining power that he
**[08:09] ---**
failed to notice the foundations
crumble beneath him.
**[08:13] C**
It would be detrimental to
restore him to power now.
**[08:16] D**
A fool who could not keep
up with Hitotsubashi
**[08:20] ---**
holds no value as a
ruler in the first place.
**[08:23] E**
We should have cut that worthless
puppet loose sooner.
**[08:28] Oboro**
While he may hold no value as a
puppet, he can still serve as bait.
**[08:36] A**
Have you returned, messenger
of the heavens, Yatagarasu?
**[08:40] Oboro**
It took a while to restore my
meridians and keep myself alive.
**[08:46] A**
Who would be capable of
injuring you so severely?
**[08:50] Oboro**
A demon who fell for the bait.
**[08:54] A**
Ah, a demon...
**[08:56] Oboro**
Sadasada is a figurehead
of the Joi suppression.
**[09:00] Oboro**
We need him to draw out certain foes.
**[09:03] Oboro**
There is no need to fear
the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[09:07] Oboro**
They are nothing more than
puppets, much like Sadasada.
**[09:12] Oboro**
The ones using this chance to sneak
into the heart of the country...
**[09:16] ---**
They are our true enemies.
**[09:18] A**
And we need that puppet to
bring out those demons?
**[09:25] Sada**
It took you long enough.
**[09:29] Sada**
I'd grown tired of waiting.
**[09:31] Sada**
I was thinking that the Tendoshu
had finally abandoned me.
**[09:36] Sada**
Now, unlock this door and release me.
**[09:40] Sada**
It's too bad, Shigeshige!
**[09:43] Sada**
You will never get to
judge me! No one will!
**[09:46] Sada**
Not even the heavens can judge me!
**[09:54] Sada**
Huh?
**[09:57] Taka**
That's right.
**[09:59] Taka**
You won't be judged by the
shogun or the heavens.
**[10:05] Taka**
You will be judged
**[10:10] Taka**
by me.
**[10:11] Sada**
Y-You're...
**[10:14] Taka**
Don't bother trying to remember me
**[10:16] Taka**
since I'll bring the Tendoshu
**[10:18] Taka**
and those worthless crows...
**[10:20] Taka**
No...
**[10:22] Taka**
I'll bring the heads of every person on
this planet down to hell with me.
**[10:27] Taka**
Say hello
**[10:29] Taka**
to Sensei for me.
**[10:42] Oboro**
Yes.
**[10:44] Oboro**
Those demons are our true enemies.
**[10:48] Oboro**
The students of Shoyo.
**[10:51] Nobu**
It appears that you were
a step too late, Oboro.
**[10:56] Oboro**
So you're not fooling around,
**[10:59] ---**
Mukuro...
**[11:00] Oboro**
No, you go by the name Imai Nobume now.
**[11:04] Oboro**
Once, you served the heavens and
**[11:06] ---**
were named one of the Naraku
Three at a young age,
**[11:10] Oboro**
yet you now side with a student
**[11:13] ---**
of Shoyo and turn your
blade on the heavens?
**[11:17] Nobu**
Isaburo said he would go along
with that man's grand scheme.
**[11:22] Nobu**
So I will do the same.
**[11:24] Oboro**
I see.
**[11:26] Oboro**
Then one of us will have
**[11:28] ---**
our feathers plucked
the next time we meet.
**[11:32] Oboro**
Wait.
**[11:35] Oboro**
Were those two anything like Shoyo?
**[11:40] Nobu**
No.
**[11:42] Nobu**
One was trying to protect
Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:46] Nobu**
The other was trying to
destroy Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:51] Nobu**
But they had one thing in common.
**[11:55] Nobu**
They both
**[11:58] ---**
had such sorrow in their eyes.
**[12:13] Oki**
I suppose this is karma.
**[12:16] Oki**
A man who built an empire
through assassination
**[12:19] ---**
was finished by an assassin.
**[12:22] Oki**
Well, it could get ugly if the
**[12:24] ---**
public learned this happened
right after that big ruckus,
**[12:27] Oki**
so the official announcement will
be that he died of illness.
**[12:31] Oki**
I can understand that
you're not happy about it,
**[12:34] ---**
but we've been given orders.
**[12:36] Gin**
What about the killer?
**[12:37] Oki**
Well, I can't tell if
they're even interested
**[12:40] ---**
in finding out who it was.
**[12:43] Tsu**
Did the Tendoshu kill him
so he couldn't talk?
**[12:46] Oki**
After they mobilized all those
people to rescue Sadasada?
**[12:51] Oki**
I'm pretty sure that
the Tendoshu were still
**[12:54] ---**
looking for a chance to
take back Sadasada.
**[12:58] Oki**
The assassination was
carried out despite that.
**[13:00] Oki**
No...
**[13:02] Oki**
It was probably meant
as a declaration of war
**[13:04] ---**
from the Hitotsubashi to the Tendoshu.
**[13:06] Oki**
To prove it, we have an imperial
decree from the Emperor.
**[13:11] Shi**
What? Shogun-sama's
resignation was denied?
**[13:14] Soyo**
Yes.
**[13:15] Soyo**
My brother has been
ordered to continue
**[13:18] ---**
supporting the Bakufu
now that our uncle is gone.
**[13:22] Shin**
Oh, that's great!
**[13:24] Kagura**
We were worried that Sho-chan
quit because of us.
**[13:29] Oki**
Those fools are probably thrilled,
**[13:32] Oki**
but it's obvious that the
Tendoshu were behind this act.
**[13:37] Oki**
Which means that the Tendoshu see
the Hitotsubashi as their enemy.
**[13:42] Oki**
Shigeshige has only been set
up as an interim ruler.
**[13:47] Tsu**
Does the Hitotsubashi faction
intend to fight the Tendoshu
**[13:51] ---**
to take control of the government?
**[13:54] Oki**
Well, I don't know if they're
trying to take control,
**[13:57] Gin**
That's mine.
**[13:58] Oki**
or if they want to get rid of the
**[14:01] ---**
Bakufu and throw the world into chaos.
**[14:04] Oki**
Either way, there's a lot
of action in the shadows.
**[14:08] Gin**
Wait. If the Bakufu's a mess
right now, that old man is...
**[14:13] Oki**
He managed to survive.
**[14:15] Oki**
But he probably can't
step outside the palace,
**[14:19] ---**
much less visit Yoshiwara.
**[14:22] Oki**
His health is certainly a concern,
**[14:25] Oki**
but the palace is on lockdown,
**[14:27] ---**
and there are even guards
watching the shogun.
**[14:29] Oki**
No one is allowed to enter or leave.
**[14:33] Nobu**
Your Highness, it is
time for you to return.
**[14:36] Soyo**
Nobume-san...
**[14:40] Nobu**
That look won't help.
**[14:43] Oki**
Well, I figured this would happen.
**[14:47] Oki**
Seriously, what were we fighting for?
**[14:59] Hino**
The doctor said that she won't
make it through the night.
**[15:02] Hino**
This may be the last moon
Lady Suzuran ever waits for.
**[15:10] Hino**
Don't be sad.
**[15:11] Hino**
Suzuran-san and the rest of
you all tried your best.
**[15:16] Hino**
Did you think that I didn't
know you were sneaking around?
**[15:22] Hino**
Honestly, that was quite
a mess you caused.
**[15:25] Hino**
I was quite worried since you've
started to act like Gin-san.
**[15:30] Hino**
That's why I tried to
keep my mouth shut,
**[15:33] ---**
but I guess it didn't matter in the end.
**[15:36] Tsu**
Hinowa, did you know who
Suzuran was waiting for?
**[15:40] Hino**
Hard to say. But considering
how long she's waited,
**[15:46] Hino**
he must have been a wonderful man.
**[15:49] Hino**
That much I do know.
**[15:53] Hino**
Isn't that right, Suzuran-san?
**[15:55] Suzu**
Hinowa-chan, could you
help me with my makeup?
**[16:02] Suzu**
It's time to fulfill our promise.
**[16:13] Sasa**
Where are you going at this late hour?
**[16:17] Sasa**
You're running off to amuse yourself
in Yoshiwara with that body?
**[16:20] Sasa**
You'll die.
**[16:21] Sasa**
I can't afford any further commotion.
**[16:25] Sasa**
Please restrain yourself
and return to your room.
**[16:28] Mai**
I understand that I'm
disobeying orders.
**[16:31] Mai**
If you intend to cut me down, go ahead.
**[16:34] Mai**
I no longer have any arms
for your blade to take.
**[16:37] Mai**
You can help yourself
to my legs or head.
**[16:41] Mai**
However, those young people helped
revive the promise we once made.
**[16:47] Mai**
The thread tied to my soul
**[16:51] Mai**
cannot be severed by any blade.
**[16:56] Sasa**
Normally, I would forgive an elderly
man's desire to fool around,
**[17:00] ---**
but the circumstances will not allow it.
**[17:02] Sasa**
I cannot allow anything to
happen that could potentially
**[17:06] ---**
aggravate the tense political situation.
**[17:10] Sasa**
I will warn you one more time.
**[17:12] Sasa**
Please return to your room.
**[17:15] Hino**
Okay, all done.
**[17:18] Hino**
You look beautiful, Suzuran-san.
**[17:20] Hino**
Every girl wants to look pretty
for the man she loves.
**[17:24] Hino**
Now, Tsukuyo.
**[17:26] Hino**
Bring the kimono.
**[17:28] Hino**
What are you doing?
**[17:29] Hino**
Tsukuyo?
**[17:31] Suzu**
Tsukuyo-chan, did you make that
promise with your special man?
**[17:38] Tsu**
No...
**[17:39] Suzu**
Was it an important promise?
**[17:42] Gin**
*We'll bring the old man
back to Suzuran together.*
**[17:47] Suzu**
Then you should believe in it.
**[17:52] Suzu**
A good man will always
keep his promise.
**[17:59] Suzu**
Isn't that right?
**[18:03] Tsu**
Yeah...
**[18:05] Tsu**
You're right.
**[18:07] Sasa**
What?
**[18:08] Sasa**
How did you get in here?
**[18:11] Gin**
If you wanna play Kick the
Can, follow the finger!
**[18:17] All**
Me!
**[18:20] Sasa**
Wh—
**[18:21] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[18:23] Sasa**
Why is the shogun here?
**[18:25] Oki**
This is too many people to
use rock-paper-scissors,
**[18:27] ---**
so Hijikata can be It.
**[18:29] Hiji**
Screw that!
**[18:29] Hiji**
Look at all these people!
**[18:30] Hiji**
That would be torture!
**[18:32] Shige**
Enough.
**[18:33] Shige**
I've seen enough internal strife.
**[18:36] Shige**
As shogun, I will choose
someone to be It.
**[18:40] Shige**
Grampy, if you will?
**[18:43] Sasa**
Please stop this.
**[18:45] Sasa**
You've allowed outsiders inside,
**[18:47] ---**
and now you're abandoning
your responsibility?
**[18:55] Nobu**
Go grab the can.
**[18:58] Nobu**
It probably flew all
the way to Yoshiwara.
**[19:02] Gin**
Okay, everybody hide.
**[19:10] Suzu**
*I loathe the moon.*
**[19:13] Suzu**
*With nightfall, it brings you to me,*
**[19:17] Suzu**
*but it also takes you from
me when dawn breaks.*
**[19:21] Suzu**
*I wish the moon would never leave us.*
**[19:24] Suzu**
*Then you would always be here with me.*
**[19:29] A**
*The moon will come with the night again.*
**[19:33] A**
*And someday, when it does,
I will take you with me in the morning.*
**[19:41] A**
*Wait before the cherry blossom tree*
**[19:43] ---**
*on the night of the next full moon.*
**[19:46] Suzu**
*Do you promise?*
**[19:49] A**
*I promise.*
**[19:52] Both**
*Promise.*
**[20:12] Suzu**
You
**[20:16] ---**
finally came.
**[20:23] Suzu**
The final moon brought you to me.
**[20:30] Suzu**
But I must apologize.
**[20:33] Suzu**
Both the cherry blossoms and I have
withered during the long wait.
**[20:43] Mai**
What are you talking about?
**[20:48] Mai**
Nothing has changed.
**[20:52] Mai**
The cherry blossoms are every bit
as beautiful as they once were.
**[21:06] Suzu**
Maizo-sama...
**[21:09] Suzu**
Am I dreaming?
**[21:12] Suzu**
Will you be gone when the moon leaves
and I wake up in the morning?
**[21:18] Mai**
No, the moon tonight will never set.
**[21:29] Mai**
You will never awaken from this dream.
**[21:35] Mai**
We will always,
**[21:38] Mai**
always,
**[21:41] Mai**
be together.
**[21:54] Mai**
I promise.
**[21:58] Mai**
I promise.
**[23:51] Gin**
We have an announcement to make
on the progress of the movie!
**[23:54] Gin**
If the next image shows five or
**[23:57] ---**
six storyboard booklets,
we're well on our way.
**[24:00] Gin**
Take it away!
**[24:02] Gin**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Huh...
***SIGN*** What...
***SIGN*** Er?
***SIGN*** That's odd?

**[01:36] Nobu**
The Tendoshu...
**[01:38] Nobu**
So they've gotten off their fat
asses to save their little toy.
**[01:44] Sada**
It's rather unfortunate,
dog of the Hitotsubashi.
**[01:48] Sada**
As I told you before,
nobody can ever judge me.
**[01:52] Sada**
You are the ones who will be judged.
**[01:56] A**
Lord Sadasada, it appears that
you've suffered a serious setback.
**[02:02] A**
I won't bother asking
for an explanation.
**[02:04] A**
No matter the reason,
**[02:05] ---**
it is not in the interest of
any of the parties involved
**[02:10] ---**
to allow further commotion on
the sacred palace grounds.
**[02:12] A**
You must have your
reasons for rebelling,
**[02:16] ---**
but we will be intervening
in this matter.
**[02:19] A**
We will take temporary
custody of Lord Sadasada.
**[02:22] A**
Would you not agree that
his sentence should
**[02:25] ---**
be determined after
thorough investigation?
**[02:29] A**
And while your cause
may have been just,
**[02:32] ---**
you must be punished for
disrupting the gover—
**[02:33] Shige**
That won't be necessary.
**[02:36] Shige**
I apologize for the
long trip you've made,
**[02:40] Shige**
but this is a domestic affair.
**[02:44] Shige**
It only makes sense for us
to settle this ourselves.
**[02:47] Sada**
Sh-Shigeshige?!
**[02:48] A**
Why, if it isn't the shogun.
**[02:50] A**
I'm glad to see that you are safe.
**[02:53] A**
But are you sure about that?
**[02:55] A**
We proposed this solution
with you in mind.
**[02:58] A**
Sheltered by your uncle, you
have grown to be a gentle lord.
**[03:02] A**
Would you be capable of
executing the beloved retainers
**[03:04] ---**
who have turned their swords on you?
**[03:07] Shige**
None of them have turned
their swords on me.
**[03:11] Shige**
They may be branded traitors
and enemies of the state,
**[03:16] Shige**
but I know what it is that
they strive to protect.
**[03:20] Shige**
They do not follow laws written by
politicians for their own convenience.
**[03:25] Shige**
They do not serve the
empty title of shogun.
**[03:30] Shige**
They follow their convictions.
**[03:32] Shige**
They serve their souls.
**[03:34] Shige**
That is what they fight for.
**[03:36] Shige**
You can sully their reputation, but
you cannot tarnish their hearts.
**[03:42] Shige**
If I were to call that a crime
and punish them for it...
**[03:55] Shige**
My entire army would become criminals
**[03:57] ---**
for turning their swords
on their foolish ruler.
**[04:01] Shige**
If I tried to punish them all,
this nation would crumble.
**[04:06] Sada**
Shigeshige! You bastard!
**[04:09] Shige**
They have committed no crime.
**[04:12] Shige**
The blame lies with the shogun family
that was unworthy of ruling them.
**[04:17] Shige**
Uncle, I am prepared to accept
responsibility for failing to stop you.
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[04:25] Shige**
We can go to hell together.
**[04:30] Sada**
A-Are you going to give up
your position as shogun?!
**[04:36] Shige**
Please leave.
**[04:38] Shige**
This is
**[04:40] Shige**
Samurai Country.
***SIGN*** Unsetting Moon
**[04:49] A**
You did a spectacular job, Sasaki-dono.
**[04:54] A**
Nobunobu-sama was impressed by
the devotion you demonstrated
**[04:58] ---**
by carrying out your
mission while injured.
**[05:01] A**
You will be rewarded once
the Hitotsubashi faction
**[05:04] ---**
establishes a new government.
**[05:07] A**
Our greatest enemy, Sadasada, has been
**[05:09] ---**
imprisoned after his
crimes were exposed.
**[05:12] A**
And what's amazing is
that Shigeshige stepped
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[05:16] ---**
down as shogun to take him down.
**[05:19] A**
We are now in position
**[05:21] ---**
to name Nobunobu-sama as
the next shogun with ease.
**[05:26] Sasa**
Nezu-dono, this is a
government hospital.
**[05:30] Sasa**
There are ears everywhere.
**[05:32] A**
Impossible. The Hitotsubashi's
time has come.
**[05:36] A**
Nobody would dare to
stand against us now.
**[05:38] Hiji**
I beg to differ.
**[05:39] Hiji**
The walls have ears and
the doors have eyes.
**[05:42] Hiji**
And there are...
**[05:43] Kondo**
...fairies on your shoulders.
**[05:47] Nezu**
Demons!
**[05:48] Nezu**
I must get going!
**[05:49] Nezu**
Take care!
**[05:51] Sasa**
I never dreamed that you
would come visit me.
**[05:55] Sasa**
It appears that despite your appearance,
**[05:58] ---**
you have the hearts of fairies.
**[06:00] Hiji**
Well, you're lined up to be
the next police commissioner.
**[06:04] Hiji**
Why not start kissing some ass?
**[06:08] Hiji**
We'll come to your funeral.
**[06:12] Sasa**
Have you come to take my life after
**[06:15] ---**
realizing you were being used?
**[06:17] Kondo**
We would be happy to let you use us
if it meant a tyrant could be toppled,
**[06:21] Kondo**
but if your goal was to make our lord
**[06:24] ---**
take the fall to protect
us, we'll take steps.
**[06:30] Sasa**
Loyalty to your lord?
**[06:32] Sasa**
Topple tyrants?
**[06:34] Sasa**
Is that truly why you
took up your swords?
**[06:38] Sasa**
If you believe I orchestrated the
**[06:41] ---**
shogun's fall for the sake
of the Hitotsubashi faction,
**[06:43] ---**
you are sorely mistaken.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Not even an elite could have
predicted this would happen.
**[06:49] Sasa**
To think that the ruler
of a nation gave up his position
**[06:52] ---**
for the sake of a mere samurai.
**[06:55] Sasa**
To think that the wild monkeys
would take up their swords
**[06:58] ---**
for an ancient promise.
**[06:59] Sasa**
That man defies all reason.
**[07:02] Sasa**
That Sakata Gintoki...
**[07:05] Sasa**
I hope that capricious girl's stubborn streak
**[07:10] ---**
wasn't a result of his bad influence.
**[07:13] Sasa**
What do you say, Nobume-san?
**[07:18] Sasa**
Unfortunately, I'm not naive
enough to believe that
**[07:22] ---**
replacing the shogun
will change this world.
**[07:27] Sasa**
Instead of depending
on foreign countries,
**[07:29] Sasa**
we should build a nation
that can compete with them.
**[07:32] Sasa**
That is the dream of the
Hitotsubashi's leader,
**[07:36] Sasa**
but I'm not one to go in
for such a pipe dream.
**[07:41] Sasa**
I have much bigger plans in mind.
**[07:46] Sasa**
You don't need to worry.
**[07:47] ---**
The Tendoshu should
make their move soon.
**[07:50] Sasa**
You should be guarding Sadasada,
not hanging out here.
**[07:55] Sasa**
I had a report from my men.
**[07:58] Sasa**
The crow's carcass vanished.
**[08:04] A**
Sadasada failed us.
**[08:06] B**
He was so obsessed with
maintaining power that he
**[08:09] ---**
failed to notice the foundations
crumble beneath him.
**[08:13] C**
It would be detrimental to
restore him to power now.
**[08:16] D**
A fool who could not keep
up with Hitotsubashi
**[08:20] ---**
holds no value as a
ruler in the first place.
**[08:23] E**
We should have cut that worthless
puppet loose sooner.
**[08:28] Oboro**
While he may hold no value as a
puppet, he can still serve as bait.
**[08:36] A**
Have you returned, messenger
of the heavens, Yatagarasu?
**[08:40] Oboro**
It took a while to restore my
meridians and keep myself alive.
**[08:46] A**
Who would be capable of
injuring you so severely?
**[08:50] Oboro**
A demon who fell for the bait.
**[08:54] A**
Ah, a demon...
**[08:56] Oboro**
Sadasada is a figurehead
of the Joi suppression.
**[09:00] Oboro**
We need him to draw out certain foes.
**[09:03] Oboro**
There is no need to fear
the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[09:07] Oboro**
They are nothing more than
puppets, much like Sadasada.
**[09:12] Oboro**
The ones using this chance to sneak
into the heart of the country...
**[09:16] ---**
They are our true enemies.
**[09:18] A**
And we need that puppet to
bring out those demons?
**[09:25] Sada**
It took you long enough.
**[09:29] Sada**
I'd grown tired of waiting.
**[09:31] Sada**
I was thinking that the Tendoshu
had finally abandoned me.
**[09:36] Sada**
Now, unlock this door and release me.
**[09:40] Sada**
It's too bad, Shigeshige!
**[09:43] Sada**
You will never get to
judge me! No one will!
**[09:46] Sada**
Not even the heavens can judge me!
**[09:54] Sada**
Huh?
**[09:57] Taka**
That's right.
**[09:59] Taka**
You won't be judged by the
shogun or the heavens.
**[10:05] Taka**
You will be judged
**[10:10] Taka**
by me.
**[10:11] Sada**
Y-You're...
**[10:14] Taka**
Don't bother trying to remember me
**[10:16] Taka**
since I'll bring the Tendoshu
**[10:18] Taka**
and those worthless crows...
**[10:20] Taka**
No...
**[10:22] Taka**
I'll bring the heads of every person on
this planet down to hell with me.
**[10:27] Taka**
Say hello
**[10:29] Taka**
to Sensei for me.
**[10:42] Oboro**
Yes.
**[10:44] Oboro**
Those demons are our true enemies.
**[10:48] Oboro**
The students of Shoyo.
**[10:51] Nobu**
It appears that you were
a step too late, Oboro.
**[10:56] Oboro**
So you're not fooling around,
**[10:59] ---**
Mukuro...
**[11:00] Oboro**
No, you go by the name Imai Nobume now.
**[11:04] Oboro**
Once, you served the heavens and
**[11:06] ---**
were named one of the Naraku
Three at a young age,
**[11:10] Oboro**
yet you now side with a student
**[11:13] ---**
of Shoyo and turn your
blade on the heavens?
**[11:17] Nobu**
Isaburo said he would go along
with that man's grand scheme.
**[11:22] Nobu**
So I will do the same.
**[11:24] Oboro**
I see.
**[11:26] Oboro**
Then one of us will have
**[11:28] ---**
our feathers plucked
the next time we meet.
**[11:32] Oboro**
Wait.
**[11:35] Oboro**
Were those two anything like Shoyo?
**[11:40] Nobu**
No.
**[11:42] Nobu**
One was trying to protect
Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:46] Nobu**
The other was trying to
destroy Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:51] Nobu**
But they had one thing in common.
**[11:55] Nobu**
They both
**[11:58] ---**
had such sorrow in their eyes.
**[12:13] Oki**
I suppose this is karma.
**[12:16] Oki**
A man who built an empire
through assassination
**[12:19] ---**
was finished by an assassin.
**[12:22] Oki**
Well, it could get ugly if the
**[12:24] ---**
public learned this happened
right after that big ruckus,
**[12:27] Oki**
so the official announcement will
be that he died of illness.
**[12:31] Oki**
I can understand that
you're not happy about it,
**[12:34] ---**
but we've been given orders.
**[12:36] Gin**
What about the killer?
**[12:37] Oki**
Well, I can't tell if
they're even interested
**[12:40] ---**
in finding out who it was.
**[12:43] Tsu**
Did the Tendoshu kill him
so he couldn't talk?
**[12:46] Oki**
After they mobilized all those
people to rescue Sadasada?
**[12:51] Oki**
I'm pretty sure that
the Tendoshu were still
**[12:54] ---**
looking for a chance to
take back Sadasada.
**[12:58] Oki**
The assassination was
carried out despite that.
**[13:00] Oki**
No...
**[13:02] Oki**
It was probably meant
as a declaration of war
**[13:04] ---**
from the Hitotsubashi to the Tendoshu.
**[13:06] Oki**
To prove it, we have an imperial
decree from the Emperor.
**[13:11] Shi**
What? Shogun-sama's
resignation was denied?
**[13:14] Soyo**
Yes.
**[13:15] Soyo**
My brother has been
ordered to continue
**[13:18] ---**
supporting the Bakufu
now that our uncle is gone.
**[13:22] Shin**
Oh, that's great!
**[13:24] Kagura**
We were worried that Sho-chan
quit because of us.
**[13:29] Oki**
Those fools are probably thrilled,
**[13:32] Oki**
but it's obvious that the
Tendoshu were behind this act.
**[13:37] Oki**
Which means that the Tendoshu see
the Hitotsubashi as their enemy.
**[13:42] Oki**
Shigeshige has only been set
up as an interim ruler.
**[13:47] Tsu**
Does the Hitotsubashi faction
intend to fight the Tendoshu
**[13:51] ---**
to take control of the government?
**[13:54] Oki**
Well, I don't know if they're
trying to take control,
**[13:57] Gin**
That's mine.
**[13:58] Oki**
or if they want to get rid of the
**[14:01] ---**
Bakufu and throw the world into chaos.
**[14:04] Oki**
Either way, there's a lot
of action in the shadows.
**[14:08] Gin**
Wait. If the Bakufu's a mess
right now, that old man is...
**[14:13] Oki**
He managed to survive.
**[14:15] Oki**
But he probably can't
step outside the palace,
**[14:19] ---**
much less visit Yoshiwara.
**[14:22] Oki**
His health is certainly a concern,
**[14:25] Oki**
but the palace is on lockdown,
**[14:27] ---**
and there are even guards
watching the shogun.
**[14:29] Oki**
No one is allowed to enter or leave.
**[14:33] Nobu**
Your Highness, it is
time for you to return.
**[14:36] Soyo**
Nobume-san...
**[14:40] Nobu**
That look won't help.
**[14:43] Oki**
Well, I figured this would happen.
**[14:47] Oki**
Seriously, what were we fighting for?
**[14:59] Hino**
The doctor said that she won't
make it through the night.
**[15:02] Hino**
This may be the last moon
Lady Suzuran ever waits for.
**[15:10] Hino**
Don't be sad.
**[15:11] Hino**
Suzuran-san and the rest of
you all tried your best.
**[15:16] Hino**
Did you think that I didn't
know you were sneaking around?
**[15:22] Hino**
Honestly, that was quite
a mess you caused.
**[15:25] Hino**
I was quite worried since you've
started to act like Gin-san.
**[15:30] Hino**
That's why I tried to
keep my mouth shut,
**[15:33] ---**
but I guess it didn't matter in the end.
**[15:36] Tsu**
Hinowa, did you know who
Suzuran was waiting for?
**[15:40] Hino**
Hard to say. But considering
how long she's waited,
**[15:46] Hino**
he must have been a wonderful man.
**[15:49] Hino**
That much I do know.
**[15:53] Hino**
Isn't that right, Suzuran-san?
**[15:55] Suzu**
Hinowa-chan, could you
help me with my makeup?
**[16:02] Suzu**
It's time to fulfill our promise.
**[16:13] Sasa**
Where are you going at this late hour?
**[16:17] Sasa**
You're running off to amuse yourself
in Yoshiwara with that body?
**[16:20] Sasa**
You'll die.
**[16:21] Sasa**
I can't afford any further commotion.
**[16:25] Sasa**
Please restrain yourself
and return to your room.
**[16:28] Mai**
I understand that I'm
disobeying orders.
**[16:31] Mai**
If you intend to cut me down, go ahead.
**[16:34] Mai**
I no longer have any arms
for your blade to take.
**[16:37] Mai**
You can help yourself
to my legs or head.
**[16:41] Mai**
However, those young people helped
revive the promise we once made.
**[16:47] Mai**
The thread tied to my soul
**[16:51] Mai**
cannot be severed by any blade.
**[16:56] Sasa**
Normally, I would forgive an elderly
man's desire to fool around,
**[17:00] ---**
but the circumstances will not allow it.
**[17:02] Sasa**
I cannot allow anything to
happen that could potentially
**[17:06] ---**
aggravate the tense political situation.
**[17:10] Sasa**
I will warn you one more time.
**[17:12] Sasa**
Please return to your room.
**[17:15] Hino**
Okay, all done.
**[17:18] Hino**
You look beautiful, Suzuran-san.
**[17:20] Hino**
Every girl wants to look pretty
for the man she loves.
**[17:24] Hino**
Now, Tsukuyo.
**[17:26] Hino**
Bring the kimono.
**[17:28] Hino**
What are you doing?
**[17:29] Hino**
Tsukuyo?
**[17:31] Suzu**
Tsukuyo-chan, did you make that
promise with your special man?
**[17:38] Tsu**
No...
**[17:39] Suzu**
Was it an important promise?
**[17:42] Gin**
*We'll bring the old man
back to Suzuran together.*
**[17:47] Suzu**
Then you should believe in it.
**[17:52] Suzu**
A good man will always
keep his promise.
**[17:59] Suzu**
Isn't that right?
**[18:03] Tsu**
Yeah...
**[18:05] Tsu**
You're right.
**[18:07] Sasa**
What?
**[18:08] Sasa**
How did you get in here?
**[18:11] Gin**
If you wanna play Kick the
Can, follow the finger!
**[18:17] All**
Me!
**[18:20] Sasa**
Wh—
**[18:21] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[18:23] Sasa**
Why is the shogun here?
**[18:25] Oki**
This is too many people to
use rock-paper-scissors,
**[18:27] ---**
so Hijikata can be It.
**[18:29] Hiji**
Screw that!
**[18:29] Hiji**
Look at all these people!
**[18:30] Hiji**
That would be torture!
**[18:32] Shige**
Enough.
**[18:33] Shige**
I've seen enough internal strife.
**[18:36] Shige**
As shogun, I will choose
someone to be It.
**[18:40] Shige**
Grampy, if you will?
**[18:43] Sasa**
Please stop this.
**[18:45] Sasa**
You've allowed outsiders inside,
**[18:47] ---**
and now you're abandoning
your responsibility?
**[18:55] Nobu**
Go grab the can.
**[18:58] Nobu**
It probably flew all
the way to Yoshiwara.
**[19:02] Gin**
Okay, everybody hide.
**[19:10] Suzu**
*I loathe the moon.*
**[19:13] Suzu**
*With nightfall, it brings you to me,*
**[19:17] Suzu**
*but it also takes you from
me when dawn breaks.*
**[19:21] Suzu**
*I wish the moon would never leave us.*
**[19:24] Suzu**
*Then you would always be here with me.*
**[19:29] A**
*The moon will come with the night again.*
**[19:33] A**
*And someday, when it does,
I will take you with me in the morning.*
**[19:41] A**
*Wait before the cherry blossom tree*
**[19:43] ---**
*on the night of the next full moon.*
**[19:46] Suzu**
*Do you promise?*
**[19:49] A**
*I promise.*
**[19:52] Both**
*Promise.*
**[20:12] Suzu**
You
**[20:16] ---**
finally came.
**[20:23] Suzu**
The final moon brought you to me.
**[20:30] Suzu**
But I must apologize.
**[20:33] Suzu**
Both the cherry blossoms and I have
withered during the long wait.
**[20:43] Mai**
What are you talking about?
**[20:48] Mai**
Nothing has changed.
**[20:52] Mai**
The cherry blossoms are every bit
as beautiful as they once were.
**[21:06] Suzu**
Maizo-sama...
**[21:09] Suzu**
Am I dreaming?
**[21:12] Suzu**
Will you be gone when the moon leaves
and I wake up in the morning?
**[21:18] Mai**
No, the moon tonight will never set.
**[21:29] Mai**
You will never awaken from this dream.
**[21:35] Mai**
We will always,
**[21:38] Mai**
always,
**[21:41] Mai**
be together.
**[21:54] Mai**
I promise.
**[21:58] Mai**
I promise.
**[23:51] Gin**
We have an announcement to make
on the progress of the movie!
**[23:54] Gin**
If the next image shows five or
**[23:57] ---**
six storyboard booklets,
we're well on our way.
**[24:00] Gin**
Take it away!
**[24:02] Gin**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Huh...
***SIGN*** What...
***SIGN*** Er?
***SIGN*** That's odd?

**[01:36] Nobu**
The Tendoshu...
**[01:38] Nobu**
So they've gotten off their fat
asses to save their little toy.
**[01:44] Sada**
It's rather unfortunate,
dog of the Hitotsubashi.
**[01:48] Sada**
As I told you before,
nobody can ever judge me.
**[01:52] Sada**
You are the ones who will be judged.
**[01:56] A**
Lord Sadasada, it appears that
you've suffered a serious setback.
**[02:02] A**
I won't bother asking
for an explanation.
**[02:04] A**
No matter the reason,
**[02:05] ---**
it is not in the interest of
any of the parties involved
**[02:10] ---**
to allow further commotion on
the sacred palace grounds.
**[02:12] A**
You must have your
reasons for rebelling,
**[02:16] ---**
but we will be intervening
in this matter.
**[02:19] A**
We will take temporary
custody of Lord Sadasada.
**[02:22] A**
Would you not agree that
his sentence should
**[02:25] ---**
be determined after
thorough investigation?
**[02:29] A**
And while your cause
may have been just,
**[02:32] ---**
you must be punished for
disrupting the gover—
**[02:33] Shige**
That won't be necessary.
**[02:36] Shige**
I apologize for the
long trip you've made,
**[02:40] Shige**
but this is a domestic affair.
**[02:44] Shige**
It only makes sense for us
to settle this ourselves.
**[02:47] Sada**
Sh-Shigeshige?!
**[02:48] A**
Why, if it isn't the shogun.
**[02:50] A**
I'm glad to see that you are safe.
**[02:53] A**
But are you sure about that?
**[02:55] A**
We proposed this solution
with you in mind.
**[02:58] A**
Sheltered by your uncle, you
have grown to be a gentle lord.
**[03:02] A**
Would you be capable of
executing the beloved retainers
**[03:04] ---**
who have turned their swords on you?
**[03:07] Shige**
None of them have turned
their swords on me.
**[03:11] Shige**
They may be branded traitors
and enemies of the state,
**[03:16] Shige**
but I know what it is that
they strive to protect.
**[03:20] Shige**
They do not follow laws written by
politicians for their own convenience.
**[03:25] Shige**
They do not serve the
empty title of shogun.
**[03:30] Shige**
They follow their convictions.
**[03:32] Shige**
They serve their souls.
**[03:34] Shige**
That is what they fight for.
**[03:36] Shige**
You can sully their reputation, but
you cannot tarnish their hearts.
**[03:42] Shige**
If I were to call that a crime
and punish them for it...
**[03:55] Shige**
My entire army would become criminals
**[03:57] ---**
for turning their swords
on their foolish ruler.
**[04:01] Shige**
If I tried to punish them all,
this nation would crumble.
**[04:06] Sada**
Shigeshige! You bastard!
**[04:09] Shige**
They have committed no crime.
**[04:12] Shige**
The blame lies with the shogun family
that was unworthy of ruling them.
**[04:17] Shige**
Uncle, I am prepared to accept
responsibility for failing to stop you.
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[04:25] Shige**
We can go to hell together.
**[04:30] Sada**
A-Are you going to give up
your position as shogun?!
**[04:36] Shige**
Please leave.
**[04:38] Shige**
This is
**[04:40] Shige**
Samurai Country.
***SIGN*** Unsetting Moon
**[04:49] A**
You did a spectacular job, Sasaki-dono.
**[04:54] A**
Nobunobu-sama was impressed by
the devotion you demonstrated
**[04:58] ---**
by carrying out your
mission while injured.
**[05:01] A**
You will be rewarded once
the Hitotsubashi faction
**[05:04] ---**
establishes a new government.
**[05:07] A**
Our greatest enemy, Sadasada, has been
**[05:09] ---**
imprisoned after his
crimes were exposed.
**[05:12] A**
And what's amazing is
that Shigeshige stepped
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[05:16] ---**
down as shogun to take him down.
**[05:19] A**
We are now in position
**[05:21] ---**
to name Nobunobu-sama as
the next shogun with ease.
**[05:26] Sasa**
Nezu-dono, this is a
government hospital.
**[05:30] Sasa**
There are ears everywhere.
**[05:32] A**
Impossible. The Hitotsubashi's
time has come.
**[05:36] A**
Nobody would dare to
stand against us now.
**[05:38] Hiji**
I beg to differ.
**[05:39] Hiji**
The walls have ears and
the doors have eyes.
**[05:42] Hiji**
And there are...
**[05:43] Kondo**
...fairies on your shoulders.
**[05:47] Nezu**
Demons!
**[05:48] Nezu**
I must get going!
**[05:49] Nezu**
Take care!
**[05:51] Sasa**
I never dreamed that you
would come visit me.
**[05:55] Sasa**
It appears that despite your appearance,
**[05:58] ---**
you have the hearts of fairies.
**[06:00] Hiji**
Well, you're lined up to be
the next police commissioner.
**[06:04] Hiji**
Why not start kissing some ass?
**[06:08] Hiji**
We'll come to your funeral.
**[06:12] Sasa**
Have you come to take my life after
**[06:15] ---**
realizing you were being used?
**[06:17] Kondo**
We would be happy to let you use us
if it meant a tyrant could be toppled,
**[06:21] Kondo**
but if your goal was to make our lord
**[06:24] ---**
take the fall to protect
us, we'll take steps.
**[06:30] Sasa**
Loyalty to your lord?
**[06:32] Sasa**
Topple tyrants?
**[06:34] Sasa**
Is that truly why you
took up your swords?
**[06:38] Sasa**
If you believe I orchestrated the
**[06:41] ---**
shogun's fall for the sake
of the Hitotsubashi faction,
**[06:43] ---**
you are sorely mistaken.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Not even an elite could have
predicted this would happen.
**[06:49] Sasa**
To think that the ruler
of a nation gave up his position
**[06:52] ---**
for the sake of a mere samurai.
**[06:55] Sasa**
To think that the wild monkeys
would take up their swords
**[06:58] ---**
for an ancient promise.
**[06:59] Sasa**
That man defies all reason.
**[07:02] Sasa**
That Sakata Gintoki...
**[07:05] Sasa**
I hope that capricious girl's stubborn streak
**[07:10] ---**
wasn't a result of his bad influence.
**[07:13] Sasa**
What do you say, Nobume-san?
**[07:18] Sasa**
Unfortunately, I'm not naive
enough to believe that
**[07:22] ---**
replacing the shogun
will change this world.
**[07:27] Sasa**
Instead of depending
on foreign countries,
**[07:29] Sasa**
we should build a nation
that can compete with them.
**[07:32] Sasa**
That is the dream of the
Hitotsubashi's leader,
**[07:36] Sasa**
but I'm not one to go in
for such a pipe dream.
**[07:41] Sasa**
I have much bigger plans in mind.
**[07:46] Sasa**
You don't need to worry.
**[07:47] ---**
The Tendoshu should
make their move soon.
**[07:50] Sasa**
You should be guarding Sadasada,
not hanging out here.
**[07:55] Sasa**
I had a report from my men.
**[07:58] Sasa**
The crow's carcass vanished.
**[08:04] A**
Sadasada failed us.
**[08:06] B**
He was so obsessed with
maintaining power that he
**[08:09] ---**
failed to notice the foundations
crumble beneath him.
**[08:13] C**
It would be detrimental to
restore him to power now.
**[08:16] D**
A fool who could not keep
up with Hitotsubashi
**[08:20] ---**
holds no value as a
ruler in the first place.
**[08:23] E**
We should have cut that worthless
puppet loose sooner.
**[08:28] Oboro**
While he may hold no value as a
puppet, he can still serve as bait.
**[08:36] A**
Have you returned, messenger
of the heavens, Yatagarasu?
**[08:40] Oboro**
It took a while to restore my
meridians and keep myself alive.
**[08:46] A**
Who would be capable of
injuring you so severely?
**[08:50] Oboro**
A demon who fell for the bait.
**[08:54] A**
Ah, a demon...
**[08:56] Oboro**
Sadasada is a figurehead
of the Joi suppression.
**[09:00] Oboro**
We need him to draw out certain foes.
**[09:03] Oboro**
There is no need to fear
the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[09:07] Oboro**
They are nothing more than
puppets, much like Sadasada.
**[09:12] Oboro**
The ones using this chance to sneak
into the heart of the country...
**[09:16] ---**
They are our true enemies.
**[09:18] A**
And we need that puppet to
bring out those demons?
**[09:25] Sada**
It took you long enough.
**[09:29] Sada**
I'd grown tired of waiting.
**[09:31] Sada**
I was thinking that the Tendoshu
had finally abandoned me.
**[09:36] Sada**
Now, unlock this door and release me.
**[09:40] Sada**
It's too bad, Shigeshige!
**[09:43] Sada**
You will never get to
judge me! No one will!
**[09:46] Sada**
Not even the heavens can judge me!
**[09:54] Sada**
Huh?
**[09:57] Taka**
That's right.
**[09:59] Taka**
You won't be judged by the
shogun or the heavens.
**[10:05] Taka**
You will be judged
**[10:10] Taka**
by me.
**[10:11] Sada**
Y-You're...
**[10:14] Taka**
Don't bother trying to remember me
**[10:16] Taka**
since I'll bring the Tendoshu
**[10:18] Taka**
and those worthless crows...
**[10:20] Taka**
No...
**[10:22] Taka**
I'll bring the heads of every person on
this planet down to hell with me.
**[10:27] Taka**
Say hello
**[10:29] Taka**
to Sensei for me.
**[10:42] Oboro**
Yes.
**[10:44] Oboro**
Those demons are our true enemies.
**[10:48] Oboro**
The students of Shoyo.
**[10:51] Nobu**
It appears that you were
a step too late, Oboro.
**[10:56] Oboro**
So you're not fooling around,
**[10:59] ---**
Mukuro...
**[11:00] Oboro**
No, you go by the name Imai Nobume now.
**[11:04] Oboro**
Once, you served the heavens and
**[11:06] ---**
were named one of the Naraku
Three at a young age,
**[11:10] Oboro**
yet you now side with a student
**[11:13] ---**
of Shoyo and turn your
blade on the heavens?
**[11:17] Nobu**
Isaburo said he would go along
with that man's grand scheme.
**[11:22] Nobu**
So I will do the same.
**[11:24] Oboro**
I see.
**[11:26] Oboro**
Then one of us will have
**[11:28] ---**
our feathers plucked
the next time we meet.
**[11:32] Oboro**
Wait.
**[11:35] Oboro**
Were those two anything like Shoyo?
**[11:40] Nobu**
No.
**[11:42] Nobu**
One was trying to protect
Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:46] Nobu**
The other was trying to
destroy Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:51] Nobu**
But they had one thing in common.
**[11:55] Nobu**
They both
**[11:58] ---**
had such sorrow in their eyes.
**[12:13] Oki**
I suppose this is karma.
**[12:16] Oki**
A man who built an empire
through assassination
**[12:19] ---**
was finished by an assassin.
**[12:22] Oki**
Well, it could get ugly if the
**[12:24] ---**
public learned this happened
right after that big ruckus,
**[12:27] Oki**
so the official announcement will
be that he died of illness.
**[12:31] Oki**
I can understand that
you're not happy about it,
**[12:34] ---**
but we've been given orders.
**[12:36] Gin**
What about the killer?
**[12:37] Oki**
Well, I can't tell if
they're even interested
**[12:40] ---**
in finding out who it was.
**[12:43] Tsu**
Did the Tendoshu kill him
so he couldn't talk?
**[12:46] Oki**
After they mobilized all those
people to rescue Sadasada?
**[12:51] Oki**
I'm pretty sure that
the Tendoshu were still
**[12:54] ---**
looking for a chance to
take back Sadasada.
**[12:58] Oki**
The assassination was
carried out despite that.
**[13:00] Oki**
No...
**[13:02] Oki**
It was probably meant
as a declaration of war
**[13:04] ---**
from the Hitotsubashi to the Tendoshu.
**[13:06] Oki**
To prove it, we have an imperial
decree from the Emperor.
**[13:11] Shi**
What? Shogun-sama's
resignation was denied?
**[13:14] Soyo**
Yes.
**[13:15] Soyo**
My brother has been
ordered to continue
**[13:18] ---**
supporting the Bakufu
now that our uncle is gone.
**[13:22] Shin**
Oh, that's great!
**[13:24] Kagura**
We were worried that Sho-chan
quit because of us.
**[13:29] Oki**
Those fools are probably thrilled,
**[13:32] Oki**
but it's obvious that the
Tendoshu were behind this act.
**[13:37] Oki**
Which means that the Tendoshu see
the Hitotsubashi as their enemy.
**[13:42] Oki**
Shigeshige has only been set
up as an interim ruler.
**[13:47] Tsu**
Does the Hitotsubashi faction
intend to fight the Tendoshu
**[13:51] ---**
to take control of the government?
**[13:54] Oki**
Well, I don't know if they're
trying to take control,
**[13:57] Gin**
That's mine.
**[13:58] Oki**
or if they want to get rid of the
**[14:01] ---**
Bakufu and throw the world into chaos.
**[14:04] Oki**
Either way, there's a lot
of action in the shadows.
**[14:08] Gin**
Wait. If the Bakufu's a mess
right now, that old man is...
**[14:13] Oki**
He managed to survive.
**[14:15] Oki**
But he probably can't
step outside the palace,
**[14:19] ---**
much less visit Yoshiwara.
**[14:22] Oki**
His health is certainly a concern,
**[14:25] Oki**
but the palace is on lockdown,
**[14:27] ---**
and there are even guards
watching the shogun.
**[14:29] Oki**
No one is allowed to enter or leave.
**[14:33] Nobu**
Your Highness, it is
time for you to return.
**[14:36] Soyo**
Nobume-san...
**[14:40] Nobu**
That look won't help.
**[14:43] Oki**
Well, I figured this would happen.
**[14:47] Oki**
Seriously, what were we fighting for?
**[14:59] Hino**
The doctor said that she won't
make it through the night.
**[15:02] Hino**
This may be the last moon
Lady Suzuran ever waits for.
**[15:10] Hino**
Don't be sad.
**[15:11] Hino**
Suzuran-san and the rest of
you all tried your best.
**[15:16] Hino**
Did you think that I didn't
know you were sneaking around?
**[15:22] Hino**
Honestly, that was quite
a mess you caused.
**[15:25] Hino**
I was quite worried since you've
started to act like Gin-san.
**[15:30] Hino**
That's why I tried to
keep my mouth shut,
**[15:33] ---**
but I guess it didn't matter in the end.
**[15:36] Tsu**
Hinowa, did you know who
Suzuran was waiting for?
**[15:40] Hino**
Hard to say. But considering
how long she's waited,
**[15:46] Hino**
he must have been a wonderful man.
**[15:49] Hino**
That much I do know.
**[15:53] Hino**
Isn't that right, Suzuran-san?
**[15:55] Suzu**
Hinowa-chan, could you
help me with my makeup?
**[16:02] Suzu**
It's time to fulfill our promise.
**[16:13] Sasa**
Where are you going at this late hour?
**[16:17] Sasa**
You're running off to amuse yourself
in Yoshiwara with that body?
**[16:20] Sasa**
You'll die.
**[16:21] Sasa**
I can't afford any further commotion.
**[16:25] Sasa**
Please restrain yourself
and return to your room.
**[16:28] Mai**
I understand that I'm
disobeying orders.
**[16:31] Mai**
If you intend to cut me down, go ahead.
**[16:34] Mai**
I no longer have any arms
for your blade to take.
**[16:37] Mai**
You can help yourself
to my legs or head.
**[16:41] Mai**
However, those young people helped
revive the promise we once made.
**[16:47] Mai**
The thread tied to my soul
**[16:51] Mai**
cannot be severed by any blade.
**[16:56] Sasa**
Normally, I would forgive an elderly
man's desire to fool around,
**[17:00] ---**
but the circumstances will not allow it.
**[17:02] Sasa**
I cannot allow anything to
happen that could potentially
**[17:06] ---**
aggravate the tense political situation.
**[17:10] Sasa**
I will warn you one more time.
**[17:12] Sasa**
Please return to your room.
**[17:15] Hino**
Okay, all done.
**[17:18] Hino**
You look beautiful, Suzuran-san.
**[17:20] Hino**
Every girl wants to look pretty
for the man she loves.
**[17:24] Hino**
Now, Tsukuyo.
**[17:26] Hino**
Bring the kimono.
**[17:28] Hino**
What are you doing?
**[17:29] Hino**
Tsukuyo?
**[17:31] Suzu**
Tsukuyo-chan, did you make that
promise with your special man?
**[17:38] Tsu**
No...
**[17:39] Suzu**
Was it an important promise?
**[17:42] Gin**
*We'll bring the old man
back to Suzuran together.*
**[17:47] Suzu**
Then you should believe in it.
**[17:52] Suzu**
A good man will always
keep his promise.
**[17:59] Suzu**
Isn't that right?
**[18:03] Tsu**
Yeah...
**[18:05] Tsu**
You're right.
**[18:07] Sasa**
What?
**[18:08] Sasa**
How did you get in here?
**[18:11] Gin**
If you wanna play Kick the
Can, follow the finger!
**[18:17] All**
Me!
**[18:20] Sasa**
Wh—
**[18:21] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[18:23] Sasa**
Why is the shogun here?
**[18:25] Oki**
This is too many people to
use rock-paper-scissors,
**[18:27] ---**
so Hijikata can be It.
**[18:29] Hiji**
Screw that!
**[18:29] Hiji**
Look at all these people!
**[18:30] Hiji**
That would be torture!
**[18:32] Shige**
Enough.
**[18:33] Shige**
I've seen enough internal strife.
**[18:36] Shige**
As shogun, I will choose
someone to be It.
**[18:40] Shige**
Grampy, if you will?
**[18:43] Sasa**
Please stop this.
**[18:45] Sasa**
You've allowed outsiders inside,
**[18:47] ---**
and now you're abandoning
your responsibility?
**[18:55] Nobu**
Go grab the can.
**[18:58] Nobu**
It probably flew all
the way to Yoshiwara.
**[19:02] Gin**
Okay, everybody hide.
**[19:10] Suzu**
*I loathe the moon.*
**[19:13] Suzu**
*With nightfall, it brings you to me,*
**[19:17] Suzu**
*but it also takes you from
me when dawn breaks.*
**[19:21] Suzu**
*I wish the moon would never leave us.*
**[19:24] Suzu**
*Then you would always be here with me.*
**[19:29] A**
*The moon will come with the night again.*
**[19:33] A**
*And someday, when it does,
I will take you with me in the morning.*
**[19:41] A**
*Wait before the cherry blossom tree*
**[19:43] ---**
*on the night of the next full moon.*
**[19:46] Suzu**
*Do you promise?*
**[19:49] A**
*I promise.*
**[19:52] Both**
*Promise.*
**[20:12] Suzu**
You
**[20:16] ---**
finally came.
**[20:23] Suzu**
The final moon brought you to me.
**[20:30] Suzu**
But I must apologize.
**[20:33] Suzu**
Both the cherry blossoms and I have
withered during the long wait.
**[20:43] Mai**
What are you talking about?
**[20:48] Mai**
Nothing has changed.
**[20:52] Mai**
The cherry blossoms are every bit
as beautiful as they once were.
**[21:06] Suzu**
Maizo-sama...
**[21:09] Suzu**
Am I dreaming?
**[21:12] Suzu**
Will you be gone when the moon leaves
and I wake up in the morning?
**[21:18] Mai**
No, the moon tonight will never set.
**[21:29] Mai**
You will never awaken from this dream.
**[21:35] Mai**
We will always,
**[21:38] Mai**
always,
**[21:41] Mai**
be together.
**[21:54] Mai**
I promise.
**[21:58] Mai**
I promise.
**[23:51] Gin**
We have an announcement to make
on the progress of the movie!
**[23:54] Gin**
If the next image shows five or
**[23:57] ---**
six storyboard booklets,
we're well on our way.
**[24:00] Gin**
Take it away!
**[24:02] Gin**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Huh...
***SIGN*** What...
***SIGN*** Er?
***SIGN*** That's odd?

**[01:36] Nobu**
The Tendoshu...
**[01:38] Nobu**
So they've gotten off their fat
asses to save their little toy.
**[01:44] Sada**
It's rather unfortunate,
dog of the Hitotsubashi.
**[01:48] Sada**
As I told you before,
nobody can ever judge me.
**[01:52] Sada**
You are the ones who will be judged.
**[01:56] A**
Lord Sadasada, it appears that
you've suffered a serious setback.
**[02:02] A**
I won't bother asking
for an explanation.
**[02:04] A**
No matter the reason,
**[02:05] ---**
it is not in the interest of
any of the parties involved
**[02:10] ---**
to allow further commotion on
the sacred palace grounds.
**[02:12] A**
You must have your
reasons for rebelling,
**[02:16] ---**
but we will be intervening
in this matter.
**[02:19] A**
We will take temporary
custody of Lord Sadasada.
**[02:22] A**
Would you not agree that
his sentence should
**[02:25] ---**
be determined after
thorough investigation?
**[02:29] A**
And while your cause
may have been just,
**[02:32] ---**
you must be punished for
disrupting the gover—
**[02:33] Shige**
That won't be necessary.
**[02:36] Shige**
I apologize for the
long trip you've made,
**[02:40] Shige**
but this is a domestic affair.
**[02:44] Shige**
It only makes sense for us
to settle this ourselves.
**[02:47] Sada**
Sh-Shigeshige?!
**[02:48] A**
Why, if it isn't the shogun.
**[02:50] A**
I'm glad to see that you are safe.
**[02:53] A**
But are you sure about that?
**[02:55] A**
We proposed this solution
with you in mind.
**[02:58] A**
Sheltered by your uncle, you
have grown to be a gentle lord.
**[03:02] A**
Would you be capable of
executing the beloved retainers
**[03:04] ---**
who have turned their swords on you?
**[03:07] Shige**
None of them have turned
their swords on me.
**[03:11] Shige**
They may be branded traitors
and enemies of the state,
**[03:16] Shige**
but I know what it is that
they strive to protect.
**[03:20] Shige**
They do not follow laws written by
politicians for their own convenience.
**[03:25] Shige**
They do not serve the
empty title of shogun.
**[03:30] Shige**
They follow their convictions.
**[03:32] Shige**
They serve their souls.
**[03:34] Shige**
That is what they fight for.
**[03:36] Shige**
You can sully their reputation, but
you cannot tarnish their hearts.
**[03:42] Shige**
If I were to call that a crime
and punish them for it...
**[03:55] Shige**
My entire army would become criminals
**[03:57] ---**
for turning their swords
on their foolish ruler.
**[04:01] Shige**
If I tried to punish them all,
this nation would crumble.
**[04:06] Sada**
Shigeshige! You bastard!
**[04:09] Shige**
They have committed no crime.
**[04:12] Shige**
The blame lies with the shogun family
that was unworthy of ruling them.
**[04:17] Shige**
Uncle, I am prepared to accept
responsibility for failing to stop you.
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[04:25] Shige**
We can go to hell together.
**[04:30] Sada**
A-Are you going to give up
your position as shogun?!
**[04:36] Shige**
Please leave.
**[04:38] Shige**
This is
**[04:40] Shige**
Samurai Country.
***SIGN*** Unsetting Moon
**[04:49] A**
You did a spectacular job, Sasaki-dono.
**[04:54] A**
Nobunobu-sama was impressed by
the devotion you demonstrated
**[04:58] ---**
by carrying out your
mission while injured.
**[05:01] A**
You will be rewarded once
the Hitotsubashi faction
**[05:04] ---**
establishes a new government.
**[05:07] A**
Our greatest enemy, Sadasada, has been
**[05:09] ---**
imprisoned after his
crimes were exposed.
**[05:12] A**
And what's amazing is
that Shigeshige stepped
***SIGN*** Resignation
**[05:16] ---**
down as shogun to take him down.
**[05:19] A**
We are now in position
**[05:21] ---**
to name Nobunobu-sama as
the next shogun with ease.
**[05:26] Sasa**
Nezu-dono, this is a
government hospital.
**[05:30] Sasa**
There are ears everywhere.
**[05:32] A**
Impossible. The Hitotsubashi's
time has come.
**[05:36] A**
Nobody would dare to
stand against us now.
**[05:38] Hiji**
I beg to differ.
**[05:39] Hiji**
The walls have ears and
the doors have eyes.
**[05:42] Hiji**
And there are...
**[05:43] Kondo**
...fairies on your shoulders.
**[05:47] Nezu**
Demons!
**[05:48] Nezu**
I must get going!
**[05:49] Nezu**
Take care!
**[05:51] Sasa**
I never dreamed that you
would come visit me.
**[05:55] Sasa**
It appears that despite your appearance,
**[05:58] ---**
you have the hearts of fairies.
**[06:00] Hiji**
Well, you're lined up to be
the next police commissioner.
**[06:04] Hiji**
Why not start kissing some ass?
**[06:08] Hiji**
We'll come to your funeral.
**[06:12] Sasa**
Have you come to take my life after
**[06:15] ---**
realizing you were being used?
**[06:17] Kondo**
We would be happy to let you use us
if it meant a tyrant could be toppled,
**[06:21] Kondo**
but if your goal was to make our lord
**[06:24] ---**
take the fall to protect
us, we'll take steps.
**[06:30] Sasa**
Loyalty to your lord?
**[06:32] Sasa**
Topple tyrants?
**[06:34] Sasa**
Is that truly why you
took up your swords?
**[06:38] Sasa**
If you believe I orchestrated the
**[06:41] ---**
shogun's fall for the sake
of the Hitotsubashi faction,
**[06:43] ---**
you are sorely mistaken.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Not even an elite could have
predicted this would happen.
**[06:49] Sasa**
To think that the ruler
of a nation gave up his position
**[06:52] ---**
for the sake of a mere samurai.
**[06:55] Sasa**
To think that the wild monkeys
would take up their swords
**[06:58] ---**
for an ancient promise.
**[06:59] Sasa**
That man defies all reason.
**[07:02] Sasa**
That Sakata Gintoki...
**[07:05] Sasa**
I hope that capricious girl's stubborn streak
**[07:10] ---**
wasn't a result of his bad influence.
**[07:13] Sasa**
What do you say, Nobume-san?
**[07:18] Sasa**
Unfortunately, I'm not naive
enough to believe that
**[07:22] ---**
replacing the shogun
will change this world.
**[07:27] Sasa**
Instead of depending
on foreign countries,
**[07:29] Sasa**
we should build a nation
that can compete with them.
**[07:32] Sasa**
That is the dream of the
Hitotsubashi's leader,
**[07:36] Sasa**
but I'm not one to go in
for such a pipe dream.
**[07:41] Sasa**
I have much bigger plans in mind.
**[07:46] Sasa**
You don't need to worry.
**[07:47] ---**
The Tendoshu should
make their move soon.
**[07:50] Sasa**
You should be guarding Sadasada,
not hanging out here.
**[07:55] Sasa**
I had a report from my men.
**[07:58] Sasa**
The crow's carcass vanished.
**[08:04] A**
Sadasada failed us.
**[08:06] B**
He was so obsessed with
maintaining power that he
**[08:09] ---**
failed to notice the foundations
crumble beneath him.
**[08:13] C**
It would be detrimental to
restore him to power now.
**[08:16] D**
A fool who could not keep
up with Hitotsubashi
**[08:20] ---**
holds no value as a
ruler in the first place.
**[08:23] E**
We should have cut that worthless
puppet loose sooner.
**[08:28] Oboro**
While he may hold no value as a
puppet, he can still serve as bait.
**[08:36] A**
Have you returned, messenger
of the heavens, Yatagarasu?
**[08:40] Oboro**
It took a while to restore my
meridians and keep myself alive.
**[08:46] A**
Who would be capable of
injuring you so severely?
**[08:50] Oboro**
A demon who fell for the bait.
**[08:54] A**
Ah, a demon...
**[08:56] Oboro**
Sadasada is a figurehead
of the Joi suppression.
**[09:00] Oboro**
We need him to draw out certain foes.
**[09:03] Oboro**
There is no need to fear
the Hitotsubashi faction.
**[09:07] Oboro**
They are nothing more than
puppets, much like Sadasada.
**[09:12] Oboro**
The ones using this chance to sneak
into the heart of the country...
**[09:16] ---**
They are our true enemies.
**[09:18] A**
And we need that puppet to
bring out those demons?
**[09:25] Sada**
It took you long enough.
**[09:29] Sada**
I'd grown tired of waiting.
**[09:31] Sada**
I was thinking that the Tendoshu
had finally abandoned me.
**[09:36] Sada**
Now, unlock this door and release me.
**[09:40] Sada**
It's too bad, Shigeshige!
**[09:43] Sada**
You will never get to
judge me! No one will!
**[09:46] Sada**
Not even the heavens can judge me!
**[09:54] Sada**
Huh?
**[09:57] Taka**
That's right.
**[09:59] Taka**
You won't be judged by the
shogun or the heavens.
**[10:05] Taka**
You will be judged
**[10:10] Taka**
by me.
**[10:11] Sada**
Y-You're...
**[10:14] Taka**
Don't bother trying to remember me
**[10:16] Taka**
since I'll bring the Tendoshu
**[10:18] Taka**
and those worthless crows...
**[10:20] Taka**
No...
**[10:22] Taka**
I'll bring the heads of every person on
this planet down to hell with me.
**[10:27] Taka**
Say hello
**[10:29] Taka**
to Sensei for me.
**[10:42] Oboro**
Yes.
**[10:44] Oboro**
Those demons are our true enemies.
**[10:48] Oboro**
The students of Shoyo.
**[10:51] Nobu**
It appears that you were
a step too late, Oboro.
**[10:56] Oboro**
So you're not fooling around,
**[10:59] ---**
Mukuro...
**[11:00] Oboro**
No, you go by the name Imai Nobume now.
**[11:04] Oboro**
Once, you served the heavens and
**[11:06] ---**
were named one of the Naraku
Three at a young age,
**[11:10] Oboro**
yet you now side with a student
**[11:13] ---**
of Shoyo and turn your
blade on the heavens?
**[11:17] Nobu**
Isaburo said he would go along
with that man's grand scheme.
**[11:22] Nobu**
So I will do the same.
**[11:24] Oboro**
I see.
**[11:26] Oboro**
Then one of us will have
**[11:28] ---**
our feathers plucked
the next time we meet.
**[11:32] Oboro**
Wait.
**[11:35] Oboro**
Were those two anything like Shoyo?
**[11:40] Nobu**
No.
**[11:42] Nobu**
One was trying to protect
Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:46] Nobu**
The other was trying to
destroy Shoyo's legacy.
**[11:51] Nobu**
But they had one thing in common.
**[11:55] Nobu**
They both
**[11:58] ---**
had such sorrow in their eyes.
**[12:13] Oki**
I suppose this is karma.
**[12:16] Oki**
A man who built an empire
through assassination
**[12:19] ---**
was finished by an assassin.
**[12:22] Oki**
Well, it could get ugly if the
**[12:24] ---**
public learned this happened
right after that big ruckus,
**[12:27] Oki**
so the official announcement will
be that he died of illness.
**[12:31] Oki**
I can understand that
you're not happy about it,
**[12:34] ---**
but we've been given orders.
**[12:36] Gin**
What about the killer?
**[12:37] Oki**
Well, I can't tell if
they're even interested
**[12:40] ---**
in finding out who it was.
**[12:43] Tsu**
Did the Tendoshu kill him
so he couldn't talk?
**[12:46] Oki**
After they mobilized all those
people to rescue Sadasada?
**[12:51] Oki**
I'm pretty sure that
the Tendoshu were still
**[12:54] ---**
looking for a chance to
take back Sadasada.
**[12:58] Oki**
The assassination was
carried out despite that.
**[13:00] Oki**
No...
**[13:02] Oki**
It was probably meant
as a declaration of war
**[13:04] ---**
from the Hitotsubashi to the Tendoshu.
**[13:06] Oki**
To prove it, we have an imperial
decree from the Emperor.
**[13:11] Shi**
What? Shogun-sama's
resignation was denied?
**[13:14] Soyo**
Yes.
**[13:15] Soyo**
My brother has been
ordered to continue
**[13:18] ---**
supporting the Bakufu
now that our uncle is gone.
**[13:22] Shin**
Oh, that's great!
**[13:24] Kagura**
We were worried that Sho-chan
quit because of us.
**[13:29] Oki**
Those fools are probably thrilled,
**[13:32] Oki**
but it's obvious that the
Tendoshu were behind this act.
**[13:37] Oki**
Which means that the Tendoshu see
the Hitotsubashi as their enemy.
**[13:42] Oki**
Shigeshige has only been set
up as an interim ruler.
**[13:47] Tsu**
Does the Hitotsubashi faction
intend to fight the Tendoshu
**[13:51] ---**
to take control of the government?
**[13:54] Oki**
Well, I don't know if they're
trying to take control,
**[13:57] Gin**
That's mine.
**[13:58] Oki**
or if they want to get rid of the
**[14:01] ---**
Bakufu and throw the world into chaos.
**[14:04] Oki**
Either way, there's a lot
of action in the shadows.
**[14:08] Gin**
Wait. If the Bakufu's a mess
right now, that old man is...
**[14:13] Oki**
He managed to survive.
**[14:15] Oki**
But he probably can't
step outside the palace,
**[14:19] ---**
much less visit Yoshiwara.
**[14:22] Oki**
His health is certainly a concern,
**[14:25] Oki**
but the palace is on lockdown,
**[14:27] ---**
and there are even guards
watching the shogun.
**[14:29] Oki**
No one is allowed to enter or leave.
**[14:33] Nobu**
Your Highness, it is
time for you to return.
**[14:36] Soyo**
Nobume-san...
**[14:40] Nobu**
That look won't help.
**[14:43] Oki**
Well, I figured this would happen.
**[14:47] Oki**
Seriously, what were we fighting for?
**[14:59] Hino**
The doctor said that she won't
make it through the night.
**[15:02] Hino**
This may be the last moon
Lady Suzuran ever waits for.
**[15:10] Hino**
Don't be sad.
**[15:11] Hino**
Suzuran-san and the rest of
you all tried your best.
**[15:16] Hino**
Did you think that I didn't
know you were sneaking around?
**[15:22] Hino**
Honestly, that was quite
a mess you caused.
**[15:25] Hino**
I was quite worried since you've
started to act like Gin-san.
**[15:30] Hino**
That's why I tried to
keep my mouth shut,
**[15:33] ---**
but I guess it didn't matter in the end.
**[15:36] Tsu**
Hinowa, did you know who
Suzuran was waiting for?
**[15:40] Hino**
Hard to say. But considering
how long she's waited,
**[15:46] Hino**
he must have been a wonderful man.
**[15:49] Hino**
That much I do know.
**[15:53] Hino**
Isn't that right, Suzuran-san?
**[15:55] Suzu**
Hinowa-chan, could you
help me with my makeup?
**[16:02] Suzu**
It's time to fulfill our promise.
**[16:13] Sasa**
Where are you going at this late hour?
**[16:17] Sasa**
You're running off to amuse yourself
in Yoshiwara with that body?
**[16:20] Sasa**
You'll die.
**[16:21] Sasa**
I can't afford any further commotion.
**[16:25] Sasa**
Please restrain yourself
and return to your room.
**[16:28] Mai**
I understand that I'm
disobeying orders.
**[16:31] Mai**
If you intend to cut me down, go ahead.
**[16:34] Mai**
I no longer have any arms
for your blade to take.
**[16:37] Mai**
You can help yourself
to my legs or head.
**[16:41] Mai**
However, those young people helped
revive the promise we once made.
**[16:47] Mai**
The thread tied to my soul
**[16:51] Mai**
cannot be severed by any blade.
**[16:56] Sasa**
Normally, I would forgive an elderly
man's desire to fool around,
**[17:00] ---**
but the circumstances will not allow it.
**[17:02] Sasa**
I cannot allow anything to
happen that could potentially
**[17:06] ---**
aggravate the tense political situation.
**[17:10] Sasa**
I will warn you one more time.
**[17:12] Sasa**
Please return to your room.
**[17:15] Hino**
Okay, all done.
**[17:18] Hino**
You look beautiful, Suzuran-san.
**[17:20] Hino**
Every girl wants to look pretty
for the man she loves.
**[17:24] Hino**
Now, Tsukuyo.
**[17:26] Hino**
Bring the kimono.
**[17:28] Hino**
What are you doing?
**[17:29] Hino**
Tsukuyo?
**[17:31] Suzu**
Tsukuyo-chan, did you make that
promise with your special man?
**[17:38] Tsu**
No...
**[17:39] Suzu**
Was it an important promise?
**[17:42] Gin**
*We'll bring the old man
back to Suzuran together.*
**[17:47] Suzu**
Then you should believe in it.
**[17:52] Suzu**
A good man will always
keep his promise.
**[17:59] Suzu**
Isn't that right?
**[18:03] Tsu**
Yeah...
**[18:05] Tsu**
You're right.
**[18:07] Sasa**
What?
**[18:08] Sasa**
How did you get in here?
**[18:11] Gin**
If you wanna play Kick the
Can, follow the finger!
**[18:17] All**
Me!
**[18:20] Sasa**
Wh—
**[18:21] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[18:23] Sasa**
Why is the shogun here?
**[18:25] Oki**
This is too many people to
use rock-paper-scissors,
**[18:27] ---**
so Hijikata can be It.
**[18:29] Hiji**
Screw that!
**[18:29] Hiji**
Look at all these people!
**[18:30] Hiji**
That would be torture!
**[18:32] Shige**
Enough.
**[18:33] Shige**
I've seen enough internal strife.
**[18:36] Shige**
As shogun, I will choose
someone to be It.
**[18:40] Shige**
Grampy, if you will?
**[18:43] Sasa**
Please stop this.
**[18:45] Sasa**
You've allowed outsiders inside,
**[18:47] ---**
and now you're abandoning
your responsibility?
**[18:55] Nobu**
Go grab the can.
**[18:58] Nobu**
It probably flew all
the way to Yoshiwara.
**[19:02] Gin**
Okay, everybody hide.
**[19:10] Suzu**
*I loathe the moon.*
**[19:13] Suzu**
*With nightfall, it brings you to me,*
**[19:17] Suzu**
*but it also takes you from
me when dawn breaks.*
**[19:21] Suzu**
*I wish the moon would never leave us.*
**[19:24] Suzu**
*Then you would always be here with me.*
**[19:29] A**
*The moon will come with the night again.*
**[19:33] A**
*And someday, when it does,
I will take you with me in the morning.*
**[19:41] A**
*Wait before the cherry blossom tree*
**[19:43] ---**
*on the night of the next full moon.*
**[19:46] Suzu**
*Do you promise?*
**[19:49] A**
*I promise.*
**[19:52] Both**
*Promise.*
**[20:12] Suzu**
You
**[20:16] ---**
finally came.
**[20:23] Suzu**
The final moon brought you to me.
**[20:30] Suzu**
But I must apologize.
**[20:33] Suzu**
Both the cherry blossoms and I have
withered during the long wait.
**[20:43] Mai**
What are you talking about?
**[20:48] Mai**
Nothing has changed.
**[20:52] Mai**
The cherry blossoms are every bit
as beautiful as they once were.
**[21:06] Suzu**
Maizo-sama...
**[21:09] Suzu**
Am I dreaming?
**[21:12] Suzu**
Will you be gone when the moon leaves
and I wake up in the morning?
**[21:18] Mai**
No, the moon tonight will never set.
**[21:29] Mai**
You will never awaken from this dream.
**[21:35] Mai**
We will always,
**[21:38] Mai**
always,
**[21:41] Mai**
be together.
**[21:54] Mai**
I promise.
**[21:58] Mai**
I promise.
**[23:51] Gin**
We have an announcement to make
on the progress of the movie!
**[23:54] Gin**
If the next image shows five or
**[23:57] ---**
six storyboard booklets,
we're well on our way.
**[24:00] Gin**
Take it away!
**[24:02] Gin**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Huh...
***SIGN*** What...
***SIGN*** Er?
***SIGN*** That's odd?

***SIGN*** Shimura Ken
**[01:33] Otae**
Father, it's been a while.
**[01:36] Otae**
Father, I have something
to tell you today.
**[01:39] Otae**
I think it's time to begin.
**[01:42] Otae**
I will become the character
I was created to be.
**[01:46] Otae**
It's time to restore the Kodokan
Dojo you left us, Father.
**[01:51] Otae**
Sorry to make you wait 260 episodes.
**[01:54] Otae**
It's not that I forgot my character.
**[01:56] Otae**
And I wasn't tired of the role.
**[01:58] Otae**
I had to save up money first.
**[02:01] Otae**
I promise to make the dojo better
than when you were still around.
**[02:05] Otae**
Please support me.
**[02:08] Obi**
Oh?
**[02:09] Obi**
Are you Otae-chan?
***SIGN*** The Sound of a Beam Can Pierce Every Heart
***SIGN*** Kodokan Dojo
**[02:18] Shin**
What?! You want to
recruit new students?!
**[02:21] Shin**
S-Sis, I thought you forgot the
original purpose of your character!
**[02:25] Shin**
Weren't you going to
focus on your night dojo?
**[02:28] Otae**
Please, do I really look like
such a heartless woman?
**[02:32] Otae**
Do your best and let
nature take its course.
**[02:35] Otae**
I went to Tsudaya the other day,
**[02:37] ---**
and I received a signal
that it was time.
**[02:39] Shin**
It's because you rewatched volume 2
of the DVDs and remembered!
**[02:43] Otae**
I acquired a fair amount
of money in episode 200,
**[02:45] ---**
so I think now is the ideal time.
**[02:48] Gin**
What are you babbling about?
**[02:50] Gin**
Nobody's gonna pay money to learn
how to use a sword these days.
**[02:54] Gin**
The age of using swords has ended.
**[02:57] Gin**
It's now the age of much
younger wives using Kato-chan.
**[03:01] Shin**
When did we start talking
about Kato-chan and Ken-chan?!
**[03:03] Kag**
Kids don't dream about becoming
samurai or ninja anymore.
**[03:08] Kag**
They want to become
Kato-chan's wife or part of
**[03:12] ---**
a backup band working up
to becoming an idol.
***SIGN*** My Future Dream: Backup Band
**[03:14] Shin**
We don't live in an age
of evil conspiracies!
**[03:17] Otae**
That's why this dojo is needed.
**[03:19] Otae**
A part of ancient Japanese
culture is fading away.
**[03:24] Otae**
It's our duty to protect it by passing
this knowledge to the next generation.
**[03:29] Gin**
But do you even know what
a kendo glove smells like?
**[03:33] Gin**
Those things should get a new job
as the straw used to wrap natto.
**[03:38] Gin**
And in anime, the mask makes it
impossible to tell who it is.
**[03:41] Gin**
And when people thrust,
**[03:42] ---**
you'd think they were striking to kill.
**[03:44] Gin**
Isn't it our duty to end that
practice with our generation?
**[03:47] Shin**
Are you really a swordsman?
**[03:49] Otae**
It's true that there are aspects
that no longer apply,
**[03:52] Otae**
so I believe it's important to evolve
and adapt certain practices
**[03:56] ---**
while maintaining the tradition.
**[03:59] Otae**
The school of Tendo Mushin
needs a slight renewal.
**[04:03] Shin**
Renewal?
**[04:04] Otae**
Yes.
**[04:10] Otae**
To the school of Tendo
Mushin beam sabers!
***SIGN*** Tendo Mushin Beam Sabers
**[04:15] Shin**
What happened to tradition?!
**[04:17] Kag**
But beam sabers will resonate with
kids, and maybe with the Amanto.
**[04:23] Shin**
Uh, that's not the issue here.
**[04:25] Shin**
And who's going to teach
them how to use beam sabers?
**[04:28] Otae**
That's all worked out already.
**[04:30] Shin**
Huh?
**[04:31] Otae**
I've found the perfect person.
**[04:33] Otae**
He knows the School of Tendo Mushin
and he can use beam sabers.
**[04:37] Shin**
Huh?
**[04:39] Otae**
You'll be so surprised, Shin-chan.
**[04:46] Obi**
Hey, long time no see.
**[04:50] Obi**
You've gotten pretty big, Shin-bo!
**[05:02] Shin**
Ha—
**[05:04] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[05:06] Obi**
Whoa!
**[05:09] Obi**
You've gotten pretty strong, too!
**[05:11] Shin**
Hajime-nii, you're alive!
**[05:13] Shin**
That's great! Just great!
**[05:17] Gin**
Huh? A former instructor?
**[05:20] Otae**
Yes, this was back when
our dojo was busy.
**[05:24] Obi**
The name's Obi Hajime!
***SIGN*** Obi Hajime
**[05:27] Obi**
If that's a pain to say, call me Obi-one!
***SIGN*** Obi Hajime
Obi-one
**[05:29] Gin**
No, that would be an even bigger pain.
**[05:32] Obi**
Sounds like you've been
taking care of Otae-chan
**[05:34] ---**
and Shin-bo while I was gone.
**[05:36] Obi**
Let me express my gratitude.
**[05:38] Obi**
Thank you very hamnida!
**[05:39] Gin**
Thank you? Hamnida? So
which country are you from?
**[05:43] Otae**
Obi-one-niisama has been wandering
around space for a long time,
**[05:46] Otae**
so he's picked up some words
from different planets.
**[05:50] Obi**
Soz for being so hard to understand!
**[05:52] Gin**
Uh, how do you pick up a
word like "soz" from space?
**[05:54] Shin**
Gin-san, Hajime-nii is really amazing.
**[05:57] Shin**
He became an instructor at
our dojo at a young age,
**[05:59] Shin**
and his skill was known around Edo!
**[06:02] Shin**
Once his talent was recognized,
**[06:04] ---**
he was chosen to study abroad
and took off into space.
**[06:07] Shin**
But the teleportation device at the terminal
**[06:09] ---**
exploded while he was there,
**[06:11] Shin**
so we thought he would never return.
**[06:16] Obi**
When the device blew up,
**[06:18] ---**
I was miraculously teleported
to a planet way out there.
**[06:21] Obi**
While there, I figured I might as
well learn how they used swords,
**[06:25] Obi**
but before I knew it, I was
the strongest one around.
**[06:28] Obi**
I would then move on to the
next planet, and so on,
**[06:33] Obi**
until people started calling
me Galaxy Sword Master.
***SIGN*** Galaxy Sword Master
**[06:39] Obi**
People stopped challenging me.
**[06:43] Obi**
It got boring, so I came back to Edo.
**[06:46] Shin**
Wow! Galaxy Sword Master!
**[06:49] Shin**
You're awesome, Hajime-nii!
**[06:51] Obi**
Nah, I'm still nothing
compared to your old man.
**[06:52] Gin**
Hey, what's a Galaxy Sword Master?
**[06:55] Kag**
His character is dumb
and his title is dumb.
**[06:55] Obi**
He was one strong samurai.
**[06:59] Obi**
I never thought the
dojo would shut down.
**[07:03] Obi**
Shin-bo, Otae-chan...
**[07:05] Obi**
Soz for not being here to
help when you needed me.
**[07:09] Obi**
If I can help you with the beam saber
that I mastered out in space,
**[07:13] Obi**
I'll do whatever you ask!
**[07:17] Obi**
I'm getting excited!
**[07:18] Gin**
Watch it!
**[07:20] Obi**
Let's work together to
revive your old man's dojo!
**[07:24] Obi**
And we'll make Kodokan the number
one dojo in the universe!
**[07:28] Obi**
Hip, hip, hooray!
**[07:35] Gin**
Weren't we reviving it?
**[07:40] Otae**
Hey, hey! Come on
down! Have a looksee!
***SIGN*** School of Tendo Mushin Beam Saber
**[07:43] Otae**
We're starting up a new school in Edo!
**[07:47] Shin**
The School of Tendo Mushin Beam Saber!
**[07:50] Otae**
We're moving into the age of beams!
**[07:53] Shin**
You can do anything with beams!
**[07:54] Shin**
Remove the wrinkles and
moles from your face!
**[07:57] Shin**
Pierce the heart of your favorite girl!
**[07:59] Shin**
Let's beam it up together!
**[08:01] Gin**
Uh, so why are we
beaming it up with you?
**[08:05] Obi**
This is bad, Gintoki-dono!
**[08:07] Obi**
Nobody's stopping!
**[08:09] Gin**
Uh, why are you telling me this?
**[08:11] Obi**
How 'bout it? Let's spar
a little to show them
**[08:13] ---**
what beam sabers are about!
**[08:15] Gin**
Wait, I've never used a beam
saber before and I don't want to.
**[08:19] Obi**
How can you say that when you're
**[08:21] ---**
going to be a founder of
the School of Beam Saber?
**[08:23] Gin**
What?
**[08:24] Obi**
Don't play dumb. You and Otae-chan
have *this* going on, right?
**[08:28] Gin**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[08:29] Gin**
I've never seen that gesture before!
**[08:31] Gin**
And this guy's shooting
beams out of his pinky?!
**[08:33] Obi**
You know what I mean.
**[08:34] Obi**
You've been sticking your
beam inside Otae-chan's...
**[08:40] Otae**
Please stop it, Obi-one-niisama.
**[08:43] Otae**
We have no such relationship.
**[08:44] Obi**
That's the Otae-chan I remember.
**[08:46] Obi**
You've already mastered
the art of the beam saber.
**[08:48] Gin**
You mean she's mastered
how to jam it in your ass!
**[08:51] Shin**
No kidding. You're the one who
doesn't understand, Hajime-nii.
**[08:54] Shin**
Sis wouldn't want to
hear her first love say...
**[08:58] Gin**
Wait, so he's her first love?
**[09:00] Gin**
He's her first love?
**[09:01] Kag**
Seriously? That's what
the boss lady likes?
**[09:04] Otae**
Keep your mouth shut!
Want me to slaughter you?!
**[09:06] Kon**
Uh, excuse me.
**[09:10] Both**
We want to join
**[09:13] Both**
the School of Beam Saber!
**[09:15] Gin**
As if we wanted these freaks!
**[09:18] Kon**
If it's that awesome, Kyubei-kun,
I'd love to try this, uh...
**[09:22] Kyu**
What was it called,
Kondo-kun? Beachy Diarrhea?
**[09:26] Kon**
No, that's not it.
**[09:27] Kon**
Wasn't it Beach Sandal, Kyubei-kun?
**[09:30] Gin**
Wait, when did they become friends?!
**[09:32] Gin**
The stalkers have teamed up
because her first love is here!
**[09:36] Kon**
But before we join, we'll
need a demonstration
**[09:39] ---**
to see how awesome this really is.
**[09:40] Kyu**
That's right.
**[09:42] ---**
Would you be willing
to spar with us first?
**[09:44] Obi**
Sure, I'd love to do that.
**[09:46] Obi**
I can't wait!
**[09:48] Obi**
It's been years since
I fought a samurai!
**[09:51] Gin**
They're not fighting like samurai!
**[09:53] Both**
Die!
**[09:55] Gin**
Way to blurt out your intent!
**[10:08] Obi**
That's no good, you two.
**[10:10] Obi**
If you fire those in the middle
of town, people will die.
**[10:13] Obi**
Huh? What about me?
**[10:15] Obi**
I'm just fine.
**[10:23] Obi**
Though, I'm only half human now.
**[10:35] A**
Kenofi, Kenofi, come in, come in!
**[10:39] A**
No good. He's not responding.
**[10:41] A**
He's running solo again.
**[10:43] A**
That guy is so much trouble.
**[10:45] B**
Forget about him.
**[10:46] B**
I believe that this
planet is his homeland.
**[10:49] B**
Let the man say his farewells.
**[10:57] Obi**
Whew, we managed to recruit enough
students to get started.
***SIGN*** Welcome New Students
Tendo Mushin Beam Saber
**[11:01] Obi**
Welcome to the School of
Tendo Mushin Beam Saber!
**[11:04] Obi**
Soz about what happened back there.
**[11:08] Obi**
You guys were so strong that
I couldn't hold myself back.
**[11:13] Obi**
But this means that we have
the seven strongest samurai
**[11:15] ---**
to get this school started off.
**[11:17] Obi**
We're going to make the School
of Beam Saber the best there is!
**[11:21] Obi**
Right, Instructor Sakata?
**[11:23] Gin**
Sure, Instructor Obi-one.
**[11:26] Gin**
I can't even be bothered
to complain anymore.
**[11:28] Obi**
Anyway, tonight we celebrate
our new beginning!
**[11:32] Shin**
Do you want beer, Hajime-nii?
**[11:33] Obi**
Nah, give me some shochu with gasoline!
**[11:36] Otae**
Please, Obi-one-niisama.
You're such a joker.
**[11:43] Kon**
Uh, excuse me, Instructor Obi-one.
**[11:46] Kon**
I have a question.
**[11:47] Obi**
What's up?
**[11:48] Kon**
I now understand how
amazing beam sabers are.
**[11:51] Kon**
The thing is...
**[11:53] Kon**
Even if we train under
the School of Beam Saber,
**[11:56] Kon**
I don't see how we can learn to do that.
**[12:00] Obi**
Don't worry.
**[12:02] Obi**
It's easy once you've learned the trick.
**[12:04] Obi**
Right, Instructor Sakata?
**[12:08] Gin**
Sure, you know how
one day, you take the
**[12:11] ---**
training wheels off your bike,
and suddenly you can ride it?
**[12:13] Gin**
It's just like that.
**[12:14] Kon**
Wait, I'm positive that you can't
do that stuff, Instructor Sakata!
**[12:17] Kon**
You still need your training wheels!
**[12:19] Kyu**
Honestly, I don't see how a
human could ever pull that off.
**[12:24] Kyu**
And that mechanical arm...
**[12:27] Kyu**
You said that you were only half human.
**[12:30] Kyu**
What did you mean by that?
**[12:35] Obi**
You think there's something
special about this arm?
**[12:37] Obi**
This is just a mechanical arm to
replace the one I lost in the accident.
**[12:41] Gin**
That's not nice, Kyubei.
**[12:43] Gin**
You shouldn't start accusing
people because they beat you.
**[12:45] Gin**
It takes strength to
admit your weaknesses.
**[12:48] Gin**
Now you have to write the word "jobber"
a hundred times before tomorrow.
**[12:52] Kyu**
And you have to write the
word "moron" a hundred times.
**[12:56] Gin**
How do you spell that?
**[12:59] Kag**
Like this, Instructor!
***SIGN*** Gintoki
**[13:01] Obi**
If you don't trust me,
I'll show you my body.
**[13:04] Obi**
I meant exactly what I said back there.
**[13:08] Obi**
After wandering around the galaxy,
**[13:10] ---**
half my body is no longer
that of an Earthling.
**[13:12] Obi**
The other half hasn't
forgotten the spirit of Edo.
**[13:20] Obi**
What do you think?
**[13:23] Kon**
*Don't you mean you're
half Edo and half robot?!*
**[13:26] Obi**
That's what I said.
**[13:28] Obi**
The beam saber didn't
come from my right arm.
**[13:31] Obi**
It came from the mechanical
right side of my body.
**[13:35] Kon**
What the hell?!
**[13:36] Shin**
Huh?!
**[13:37] Shin**
What's going on?!
**[13:38] Shin**
What happened to your body, Hajime-nii?!
**[13:41] Otae**
O-Obi-one-niisama...
**[13:43] Obi**
What? You didn't realize
that I was a cyborg?
**[13:48] Obi**
Man, you guys don't pay attention!
**[13:49] Obi**
Right, Instructor Sakata?
**[13:51] Gin**
Huh? What?
***SIGN*** Gintoki Gintoki Gintoki
Gintoki Gin
**[13:52] Gin**
We're having hamburger
steak tomorrow. Really?
**[13:54] Kon**
Cyborg! This guy's piss drunk!
**[13:57] Shin**
You're a cyborg, Hajime-nii?
**[13:59] Obi**
Yeah. You see, when I was
caught in the explosion,
**[14:04] ---**
the right half of my body
was mortally damaged.
**[14:08] Obi**
I'm embarrassed to admit that, well...
**[14:10] Obi**
I already died once.
**[14:12] Shin**
Wh-What?!
**[14:14] A**
We'll make him half that.
**[14:14] Shin**
Y-You already died once?!
**[14:15] B**
And half this.
**[14:16] Shin**
Th-That means...
**[14:18] Obi**
Luckily, the technology on the
planet was advanced enough
**[14:21] ---**
that they could revive me
by mechanizing half my body.
**[14:25] Obi**
I would become the strongest
swordsman in the galaxy.
**[14:30] Obi**
I returned from hell to achieve the
dream that had once... died...
**[14:37] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[14:38] Kag**
Hey! Did he go back to hell already?!
**[14:42] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[14:43] Shin**
Pull it together!
**[14:43] Shin**
What's wrong?!
**[14:46] Obi**
*Give me shochu with gasoline!*
**[14:49] Otae**
Oh, no, I thought he was joking.
**[14:52] Otae**
I'll go buy some gasoline, so Shin-chan,
**[14:53] Otae**
take him to the bedroom!
**[14:54] Shin**
S-Sis!
**[14:56] Kon**
Otae-san!
**[15:06] Shin**
Gengai-san, how does he look?
**[15:11] Gen**
Unfortunately, the problem
isn't that he's out of gasoline.
**[15:16] Gen**
Who fed him this junk?
**[15:19] Gen**
This matter doesn't exist on Earth.
**[15:22] Gen**
As far as I know, nothing like this has
been discovered in the universe yet.
**[15:26] Kag**
That's boss lady's...
**[15:28] Otae**
He must have eaten something
bad out in space.
**[15:31] Otae**
Obi-one-niisama is such a slob.
**[15:34] Gen**
Whatever. I got him to spit up the junk,
**[15:38] Gen**
so give him some shochu with gasoline.
**[15:41] Gen**
That's the only thing his body can take.
**[15:44] Shin**
U-Uh, Gengai-san!
**[15:46] Shin**
Is Hajime-nii...
**[15:49] Gen**
His human heart has stopped beating.
**[15:53] Gen**
All life-sustaining operations are
performed by the right side of his body.
**[15:57] Gen**
In other words, the machine
is keeping him alive.
**[16:09] Shin**
I thought he was finally back.
**[16:13] Shin**
This is terrible.
**[16:15] Shin**
He can't live without
that machine... That's just...
**[16:20] Otae**
Shin-chan...
**[16:22] Otae**
No matter how much he changes,
**[16:24] ---**
he'll still be the same person.
**[16:26] Otae**
And you can't let him see
that look on your face.
**[16:32] Otae**
Have you forgotten the promise we made?
**[16:37] Otae**
*Geez, how many times
do I have to tell you?!*
**[16:40] Otae**
*Whether you're swinging your
sword or doing anything else,*
**[16:42] ---**
*you must maintain your form!*
**[16:44] Otae**
*Pretend that there's a rod
sticking through your body,*
**[16:48] Otae**
*and you can only move by
rotating around that rod!*
**[16:54] Shin**
*I don't understand, Sis!*
**[16:56] Shin**
*There's no rod in my body!*
**[17:00] Otae**
*Geez, I told you to stop crying!*
**[17:03] Otae**
*You're the son of a samurai, Shin-chan!*
**[17:05] Shin**
*But...*
**[17:06] Otae**
*Don't make excuses!*
**[17:08] A**
*Those kids are at it again.*
**[17:10] Ken**
*Hey! What are you doing?!*
**[17:12] A**
*Crap, it's the master!*
**[17:15] Otae**
*Father!*
**[17:16] Otae**
*Help me talk some sense into him.*
**[17:18] Otae**
*All Shin-chan does is cry,
and he won't stop.*
**[17:21] Otae**
*And everybody's laughing
at how loud we are.*
**[17:23] ---**
*It's embarrassing.*
**[17:24] Ken**
*Both of you are too loud!*
**[17:34] Obi**
*You siblings cry all the time.*
**[17:36] Obi**
*Why's that? Are you getting paid?*
**[17:39] Obi**
*I'll pay you more, then, so laugh!*
**[17:43] Otae**
*Ha—*
**[17:44] Shin**
*Hajime-nii...*
**[17:45] Obi**
*Listen up, you two.*
**[17:47] Obi**
*Tears are handy for washing away
troubling and sad feelings.*
**[17:55] Obi**
*But when you grow up, you'll learn*
**[17:58] Obi**
*that there are things so sad, they
can never be washed away by tears.*
**[18:03] Obi**
*That there are painful memories
that should never be washed away.*
**[18:09] Obi**
*So people who are truly strong
laugh when they want to cry.*
**[18:14] Obi**
*They endure all of the pain and sorrow*
**[18:17] Obi**
*while laughing with everybody else.*
**[18:21] Obi**
*You can cry all you want right now.*
**[18:24] Obi**
*But one day, you must become
samurai strong enough not to cry.*
**[18:28] Otae**
*Oh, so that's why you're
always laughing.*
**[18:32] Shin**
*I-I want to become strong like you!*
**[18:35] Obi**
*Really?*
**[18:37] Obi**
*Then stop practicing the sword for
today, and start practicing laughing!*
**[18:46] Obi**
*More, Otae-chan!*
**[18:49] Obi**
*Not good enough, Shin-bo!*
**[18:51] Obi**
*Like this!*
**[18:56] Ken**
*All three of you are too loud!*
**[19:02] Obi**
*Darn, crying won't make
this pain go away.*
**[19:14] Otae**
No matter what's happened to him,
**[19:16] ---**
we were able to see
Obi-one-niisama again.
**[19:21] Otae**
We were able to see his smile again.
**[19:27] Otae**
Isn't that
**[19:30] ---**
enough?
**[19:34] Shin**
Sis...
**[19:55] Hiji**
Where did you go?
**[19:57] Hiji**
We've got trouble right now.
**[20:00] Hiji**
Earth may come to an end.
**[20:03] Kon**
Oh, I don't see a problem
**[20:06] Kon**
since my life's already over.
**[20:08] Kon**
My love has come to an end,
**[20:09] Kon**
so everyone else's lives might as well end.
**[20:12] Oki**
He clearly wants attention right now.
**[20:15] Oki**
I sure as hell don't want
to listen to him gripe.
**[20:18] Hiji**
It'll just be a waste of time, so let's
tell him what's up and get to work.
**[20:22] Tojo**
Lady!
**[20:24] Tojo**
Hey! Where have you been?!
**[20:27] Tojo**
Edo is in big trouble!
**[20:31] Tojo**
We've got big trouble here, too!
**[20:34] Kyu**
I'm disgusted with myself.
**[20:37] Kyu**
I was trying to kill someone
that Tae-chan truly cared about.
**[20:42] Kyu**
I'm tainted! I'm the one
who deserves to be killed!
**[20:45] Tojo**
Calm down, Lady!
**[20:47] Tojo**
Turn on the TV first!
**[20:48] Tojo**
The human race is about
to be killed off!
**[20:50] Kyu**
Don't touch me!
**[20:53] Tojo**
Oh, she noticed.
***SIGN*** Machine Hall
**[20:56] Gin**
Did you call me out here because
there's some kind of problem?
**[21:00] Gen**
Actually, I noticed something
when I was checking his body.
**[21:05] Gen**
I couldn't do anything
about it, so I ignored it.
**[21:10] Kon**
Planet Beam?
**[21:11] Hiji**
They're known for developing
interstellar wave beam cannons.
**[21:14] Hiji**
Basically, no other planet
could compete with them
**[21:17] ---**
at making beam cannons,
**[21:20] Hiji**
but a few days ago,
**[21:22] ---**
Earth started a proposal to
ban the manufacturing and
**[21:25] ---**
exporting of beam cannons
because of the danger,
**[21:29] Hiji**
and the proposal seems likely to pass.
**[21:32] Hiji**
Those guys see that as a
big thorn in their side.
**[21:35] Hiji**
These people claim to be terrorists,
**[21:37] Hiji**
but I'm guessing that...
**[21:39] Ana**
*It appears that you Earthlings do not*
**[21:41] ---**
*understand how beneficial
lasers can be in daily life.*
**[21:46] Ana**
*So we've sent a wonderful
present to help you understand.*
**[21:52] Gin**
Huh? What did they just say?
**[21:55] Gen**
The mechanical half of his
body contains a time-triggered
**[21:59] ---**
interstellar wave beam cannon.
**[22:02] Gen**
Its targets are the
planets of the Alliance.
**[22:05] Gen**
If the cannon is fired, the rest of
the galaxy will declare war on Earth.

**[01:37] Ana**
You have 24 hours until
the beam cannon fires.
**[01:42] Ana**
If your decision comes too late,
**[01:44] Ana**
tomorrow will be remembered
in the history of space as
**[01:48] Ana**
the day the star wars began,
a day that will live in infamy.
**[01:53] Ana**
And the first act of war will be to
reduce Earth, the catalyst, to space dust.
**[02:01] Ana**
It would be unwise to attempt to search
this large planet for our present.
**[02:08] Ana**
There is an emergency defense
system built into it.
**[02:12] Ana**
If you try anything funny,
this planet will be destroyed
**[02:15] ---**
before the beam cannon ever fires.
**[02:18] Gin**
Did that guy come back
to destroy his home?
**[02:24] Gen**
As a planet, Beam and its population are
basically one big weapons manufacturer.
**[02:30] Gen**
But as a nation, they're too smart
to butt into interstellar politics.
**[02:34] Gen**
However, there's a group called the
Firestarters who pulls strings to start wars.
**[02:41] Gen**
The Galaxy Sword Master
has made his name through
**[02:44] ---**
his exploits in those wars.
**[02:46] Gen**
But if he is, in truth, a fictitious hero
**[02:49] ---**
whose purpose is to start those wars...
**[02:53] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[02:54] Shin**
Whew, you're awake!
**[02:57] Shin**
Are you okay?
**[03:02] Shin**
Hajime-nii...
**[03:06] Obi**
Oh, Shin-bo.
**[03:08] Obi**
As you can see, I'm doing fine!
**[03:10] Obi**
Man, it's such a lovely morning!
**[03:13] Obi**
Edo mornings are so beautiful.
**[03:18] Obi**
How about it?
**[03:19] ---**
Let's go for a jog like we used to.
**[03:24] Shin**
Sure.
**[03:26] Obi**
He probably doesn't realize
that he's being used.
**[03:32] Gin**
How do we stop the mechanical
half of his body?
**[03:38] Gin**
Spit it out.
**[03:39] ---**
It's not something Shinpachi
or Otae can handle.
**[03:44] Hiji**
Okay, we will now chase down the
interstellar wave beam cannon.
**[03:49] Hiji**
Grab every person who looks suspicious.
**[03:52] Oki**
Hijikata-san, what would
be a suspicious person?
**[03:57] Hiji**
Someone who looks like he
might shoot out beams.
**[03:58] Oki**
Hey, this guy's shooting
idiot beams from his head.
**[04:02] Oki**
Throw him in the slammer.
**[04:03] Hiji**
Let me go!
**[04:05] Hiji**
Want me to murder you guys?!
**[04:06] Hiji**
Hey, Kondo-san! Say something!
**[04:08] Hiji**
Hey, stop this!
**[04:09] Kondo**
Someone who looks like he
might shoot out beams...
**[04:12] A**
This is the worst threat
the nation has faced since
**[04:15] ---**
the founding of the Tokugawa Bakufu!
**[04:17] A**
The Yagyu must step up to
score points with the Shogun!
**[04:21] A**
Scratch that.
**[04:22] A**
Step up to protect Edo!
**[04:24] A**
More paper money!
**[04:25] A**
Complete our celebrity blockade!
**[04:28] A**
Hey, who included Takagi
Boo with the celebrities?!
**[04:32] B**
Didn't you say to use
a Drifters blockade?
**[04:34] A**
No, I said to use a celebrity
blockade, Father!
**[04:37] B**
Oh, then I should look
for women who are easy.
**[04:40] A**
No, that would be a **** blockade!
**[04:41] Kyu**
Could it be...?
**[04:45] Kag**
Hey, is this good enough?
**[04:47] Kag**
I don't know since I've
never done this before.
**[04:50] Obi**
Temperature's perfect!
**[04:51] Obi**
Thank you very hamnida!
**[04:53] Obi**
Care to join me?!
**[04:54] Kag**
Want me to kill you,
Pervy Sword Master?!
**[05:00] Obi**
A bath really hits the
spot after some sparring.
**[05:02] Obi**
Right, Shin-bo?
**[05:05] Shin**
Are you trying to kill me?!
**[05:09] Obi**
You need to scorch your delicate
spots to make them squeaky clean!
**[05:12] Shin**
What kind of gunk did you
pick up out in space?!
**[05:18] Gin**
Still, where is he hiding
the beam cannon?
**[05:23] Gin**
All I can see is a little pistol.
**[05:29] Gen**
Listen to me, Gin-guy.
**[05:31] Gen**
If you stab him with this blade I've
rigged with a disruption device,
**[05:35] ---**
it will delay the activation of
the emergency defense system.
**[05:39] Gen**
That will be your chance to destroy
**[05:41] ---**
the mechanical half of his
body and fully disable him.
**[05:44] Gin**
What will happen to the
human side of his body?
**[05:47] Gen**
I already gave you an explanation.
**[05:49] Gen**
That machine is keeping
him alive right now.
**[05:52] Gen**
If the machine is disabled, the human half
of his body will go back to being dead.
**[06:02] Otae**
What are you doing here?
**[06:10] Otae**
Why are you carrying
that weapon, Gin-san?
**[06:16] Gin**
You know the answer.
**[06:18] ---**
I'm here to cut down your first love.
**[06:22] Otae**
You're not trying to hide it.
**[06:26] Gin**
Half-assed lies don't work on women.
**[06:30] Gin**
Your eyes are puffy.
**[06:32] Gin**
That's what you get for eavesdropping.
**[06:38] Obi**
You used to be so weak.
**[06:40] Obi**
I could barely feel you
scrubbing my back.
**[06:43] Obi**
You've really grown up.
**[06:45] Obi**
Though you haven't changed down there.
**[06:48] Shin**
You're one to talk!
**[06:51] Shin**
You're still out of my reach.
**[06:54] Shin**
I'll never be able to catch up to you.
**[06:57] Obi**
Shin-bo, you're already
stronger than me.
**[07:02] Obi**
All I got for leaving Earth
**[07:06] ---**
was this beat-up body and the
hollow title of Sword Master.
**[07:15] Obi**
After returning to Edo and seeing
you guys, I realized something.
**[07:20] Obi**
If you can't find something
close to protect,
**[07:24] Obi**
you can wander the entire universe
**[07:29] Obi**
and never achieve true strength.
**[07:32] Obi**
I should have returned sooner to
the country of the samurai.
**[07:44] Shin**
Why does it sound like you've given up?
**[07:49] Shin**
We can work together
to find the answer.
**[07:52] Shin**
We can work together to become strong.
**[07:56] Shin**
So don't say that.
**[08:00] Shin**
Our Hajime-nii would
never look so defeated!
**[08:11] Obi**
Shin-bo, so you know?
**[08:16] Otae**
We understand.
**[08:20] Otae**
So please, we won't ask
you to wait until tomorrow,
**[08:24] Otae**
but could you give us
a little more time?
**[08:27] Otae**
Please lower your sword,
**[08:30] ---**
Gin-san.
**[08:34] Shin**
I always wanted to introduce
you and Gin-san to each other.
**[08:40] Shin**
I always hoped that one day,
**[08:42] ---**
the two of you would sit
here next to each other
**[08:46] ---**
while I washed your backs.
**[08:49] Shin**
But now...
**[08:51] Shin**
Why is it you?
**[08:54] Shin**
Why did this have to happen?!
**[09:00] Otae**
I beg you, Gin-san.
**[09:03] Otae**
Just give us a little more time.
**[09:06] Otae**
Let him
**[09:09] Otae**
be Shin-chan's big brother
a little longer.
**[09:13] Obi**
I won't be able to restrain the
other half of my body much longer.
**[09:18] Obi**
I was prepared to end my own life,
**[09:20] Obi**
but I came back to Edo
**[09:24] Obi**
because I wanted to see you
and Otae-chan one last time.
**[09:30] Obi**
Soz about getting you
into all this trouble.
**[09:36] Obi**
But I'm glad I got to see this
city of samurai one last time—
**[09:47] Gin**
You're in my way.
**[09:49] Gin**
Move it.
**[09:51] Gin**
Why do you all have those
looks on your faces?
**[09:54] Gin**
Did you forget what the
School of Beam Saber
**[09:57] ---**
teaches about reacting
in these situations?
**[10:00] Gin**
Well, Instructor Obi-one?
**[10:12] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[10:15] Shin**
Stop it!
**[10:16] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[10:17] Shin**
Hajime-nii is still...
**[10:18] Shin**
Still...
**[10:19] Gin**
I told you, you're in my way!
**[10:23] Kag**
Shinpachi!
**[10:23] Otae**
Shin-chan!
**[10:26] Gin**
Damn, he got away.
**[10:30] Shin**
Please wait!
**[10:32] Shin**
Why...
**[10:33] Shin**
Why are you doing this?!
**[10:35] Shin**
Why would you be so cruel?!
**[10:38] Shin**
Hajime-nii knows everything!
**[10:40] Shin**
He understands what's happening!
**[10:42] Shin**
He's prepared to end his own life!
**[10:46] Gin**
He can't do that.
**[10:50] Gin**
It's not his body anymore.
**[10:53] Gin**
You were washing a dead body
with some junk attached.
**[11:01] ---**
I dare you...
**[11:03] Shin**
I dare you to repeat that.
**[11:04] Otae**
Stop it, Shin-chan!
**[11:07] Otae**
Please stop this, both of you!
**[11:11] Gin**
Sorry, but I'm not interested
in sitting around with
**[11:15] ---**
a bunch of emotional saps,
waiting for my death.
**[11:19] Gin**
If you can't handle the job, I'll do it.
**[11:23] Gin**
It's that simple.
**[11:26] Shin**
Wait...
**[11:29] Shin**
Wait.
**[11:34] Shin**
I said to wait!
**[11:36] Shin**
Are you deaf?!
**[11:43] Otae**
Shin-chan!
**[11:46] Shin**
How can two big brothers
be so different?
**[11:52] Gin**
Look at me.
**[11:54] Gin**
Is this the face of a big brother?
**[11:58] Shin**
True, your nose hairs are sticking out.
**[12:02] Gin**
Oh, you're right.
**[12:03] Otae**
Shin-chan!
**[12:05] Otae**
Hang in there, Shin-chan!
**[12:07] Otae**
Shin-chan!
**[12:11] All**
Excuse us.
**[12:15] Obi**
The emergency defense
system hasn't activated.
**[12:17] Obi**
That man must have done something.
**[12:22] Obi**
Was he able to sense my
intention to kill that boy?
**[12:28] Yama**
Hey!
**[12:30] Yama**
What are you doing up there?!
**[12:35] Yama**
What the hell?!
**[12:36] Yama**
He can shoot beams from his eyes!
**[12:38] Yama**
After him!
**[12:39] Yama**
Don't let him escape!
**[12:44] A**
We can't find him.
**[12:45] B**
Same here.
**[12:47] Hiji**
You better find him before
I finish smoking this.
**[12:50] Hiji**
Shah that guy up before these curtain
rings can "shah" the curtain shut.
**[12:56] Both**
Or else it's seppuku time.
**[12:58] Kag**
You middle management people are useless!
**[13:01] Kag**
Get out of the way!
**[13:02] Tojo**
I'll let you go if you
tell us where he is.
**[13:05] Kag**
That's what we want to know!
**[13:08] Shin**
Can you cut it out?
**[13:10] Otae**
Shin-chan...
**[13:11] Shin**
Everyone's up in arms.
**[13:13] Shin**
Are you so intent on
destroying Hajime-nii?
**[13:17] Shin**
In any case, this gives
Kondo-san and Kyubei-san
**[13:21] ---**
an excuse to rid themselves of their rival.
**[13:26] Shin**
That's despicable.
**[13:28] Shin**
You're all despicable!
**[13:34] Hiji**
Not as despicable as your leader.
**[13:39] Obi**
Come in, this is Kenofi.
**[13:42] Obi**
There's been a problem.
**[13:44] Obi**
I request assistance.
**[13:45] Obi**
My current coordinates are...
**[13:51] Tojo**
We weren't spurred into action
by my lady or Kondo-dono.
**[14:00] Tojo**
It was your leader.
**[14:05] Obi**
This was a mistake on my part.
**[14:06] Obi**
I didn't expect him to have
**[14:09] ---**
such a dangerous man as
his new brother figure.
**[14:11] Gin**
Why are you all so obsessed
with the brother thing?
**[14:17] Gin**
Neither Shinpachi nor I am
interested in being brothers!
**[14:24] Shin**
Gin-san did?
**[14:26] Oki**
Hijikata-san...
**[14:29] Oki**
Looks like the news has gotten out.
**[14:33] Hiji**
Sorry, but we can't let you pass.
**[14:35] Hiji**
The Shinsengumi are on the job.
**[14:37] Tojo**
Do not worry.
**[14:38] ---**
We will search every nook
and cranny of the building.
**[14:41] Tojo**
You should go take a bath and
**[14:42] ---**
wash every nook and cranny of your body.
**[14:44] A**
Wh-Who are you people?
**[14:45] Oki**
We aren't here to capture Obi-one.
**[14:48] Oki**
We're holding off the
cops who are on his tail
**[14:51] Oki**
and making sure that you all are safe.
**[14:54] Shin**
Wh-Why would you do that?
**[14:56] Oki**
Because your leader got down
on his knees and begged us to.
**[15:06] Obi**
If you kill me, you will
lose their trust forever.
**[15:09] Obi**
Given that, why did you come here?
**[15:12] Gin**
I'm not interested in
battling to the death
**[15:14] ---**
with a bunch of crying fools
standing nearby!
**[15:16] Gin**
This is much better!
**[15:19] Obi**
Battling to the death?
**[15:21] Obi**
Don't make me laugh.
**[15:27] Obi**
You're unconsciously trying to
avoid attacking my left side.
**[15:32] Gin**
So this is the power of
the Galaxy Sword Master?
**[15:36] Gin**
Not very impressive.
**[15:38] Gin**
That title's too flashy for you.
**[15:42] Gin**
You should stick to
being a big brother.
**[15:45] Oki**
"I'll figure out a way to
bring Obi-one back alive,
**[15:48] Oki**
so could you stay put and
not do anything until then?"
**[15:54] Oki**
He planted his empty head
right against the floor.
**[16:00] Oki**
Want to see a picture?
**[16:04] Shin**
Why did he do that?
**[16:08] Shin**
Why did he ask you for help
**[16:11] Shin**
when he didn't say a word to us?!
**[16:13] Shin**
That idiot!
**[16:15] Otae**
He wanted to keep us away
from Obi-one-niisama.
**[16:21] Gin**
Don't worry, Obi-one.
**[16:24] Gin**
Nobody else will be joining us.
**[16:28] Gin**
I won't let you get any
more blood on your hands!
**[16:32] Gin**
So
**[16:34] ---**
come back, Obi-one!
**[16:38] Gin**
Come back and be their big
brother one more time!
**[16:45] Otae**
He was the only one who hadn't given up
**[16:49] Otae**
on saving Obi-one-niisama.
**[16:54] Obi**
Do you seriously believe
that he's still capable
**[17:00] Obi**
of returning?!
**[17:09] Obi**
Come in. This is Kenofi.
**[17:12] Obi**
I need to be picked up immediately.
**[17:14] Ana**
Kenofi?
**[17:16] Ana**
Are you really Kenofi?
**[17:18] Ana**
We've already locked on to your
signal and begun the retrieval.
**[17:24] Ana**
Kenofi, where are you right now?
**[17:33] Ana**
I-Impossible!
**[17:34] Ana**
What is the meaning of this?!
**[17:46] Oki**
Man, it's not easy when we all
work for a bunch of losers.
**[17:51] Shin**
No way...
**[17:53] Ana**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[17:55] Ana**
Identify yourselves!
**[17:56] Both**
From the School of Tendo
Mushin Beam Saber!
**[18:00] Kyu**
Yagyu Kyubei.
**[18:02] Kondo**
And Kondo Isami.
**[18:05] Kyu**
We've come here to
reclaim the human half...
**[18:10] Kondo**
...of our instructor, Obi Hajime.
**[18:14] Obi**
You were able to disrupt my
transmitter with that strike?
**[18:20] Obi**
You just came here to buy time
**[18:22] Obi**
while your allies work to
disable the beam cannon?
**[18:27] Gin**
Like I said, nobody else
will be joining us.
**[18:34] Gin**
Will you leave that body first,
**[18:38] Gin**
or will you get rid of me first?
**[18:40] Gin**
It's a waiting game now.
**[18:43] Obi**
Foolishness!
**[18:47] Ana**
Damn those Earth apes!
**[18:49] Ana**
They tricked us!
**[18:51] Kon**
We clearly got the short
end of the stick.
**[18:54] Kon**
Stuck helping our rival in love.
**[18:57] Kon**
A victory here won't win us anything.
**[19:02] Kyu**
We've still got it better
than that idiot
**[19:05] Kyu**
since he had to beg for help.
**[19:07] ---**
Plus he'll be losing his
position as a brother figure.
**[19:11] Kyu**
Besides, now I know
**[19:15] Kyu**
the reason why Otae-chan was able to
**[19:18] ---**
smile when times were tough or painful.
**[19:21] Kyu**
Even if her smile isn't
directed our way,
**[19:24] Kyu**
I just want her to truly smile again.
**[19:29] Kon**
I see. That means...
**[19:33] Kon**
I should laugh with them.
**[19:37] Obi**
*So people who are truly strong
laugh when they want to cry.*
**[19:43] Obi**
*They endure all of the pain and sorrow*
**[19:46] Obi**
*while laughing with everybody else.*
**[19:52] Obi**
*But one day, you must become
samurai strong enough not to cry.*
**[20:01] Yama**
Captain Okita, are you sure about this?
***SIGN*** Image has been deleted.
**[20:04] Oki**
Sorry, big guy. I couldn't stop them.
**[20:09] Oki**
We little brothers have our own pride.
**[20:13] Tojo**
Well, let's get going.
**[20:20] Hiji**
To our big brother's side.
**[20:35] Ana**
It seems that you people are intent
on keeping that man alive.
**[20:40] Ana**
But you've been wasting your time.
**[20:44] Kon**
What's that?
**[20:45] Ana**
Nobody can stop him at this point.
**[20:48] ---**
Not us, not him...
**[20:51] Ana**
The emergency system
will recover shortly.
**[20:56] Ana**
When that happens, you
Earthlings will be finished.
**[21:00] Kyu**
Kondo...
**[21:02] Kon**
Bullshit.
**[21:03] Kon**
That's bullshit.
**[21:05] Kon**
Then why...
**[21:07] Kon**
Then why did he have
to play the bad guy?!
**[21:10] Kon**
Why did he have to get
on his knees and beg?!
**[21:16] Kon**
Can you give those two big brothers
back to Shinpachi-kun?
**[21:24] Obi**
It'll be thirty minutes
before my system recovers.
**[21:30] Obi**
There's only one way to stop the
beam cannon before that happens.
**[21:34] Obi**
You have to destroy me, Obi-one.
**[21:40] Obi**
I'll be sending your little
brother and this planet
**[21:44] Obi**
to see you shortly.
**[21:47] Obi**
You can wait in hell for them.
**[21:58] Shin**
Did you call me his little brother?
**[22:01] Shin**
You people throw the word
brother around too much!
**[22:06] Gin**
Neither Gin-san nor I am interested
in being brothers, you fool!
***SIGN*** To Be Continued

***SIGN*** Liquor and Gasoline, Smiles and Tears
**[01:38] Shin**
You people throw the word
brother around too much!
**[01:42] Gin**
Neither Gin-san nor I am interested
in being brothers, you fool!
**[01:47] Gin**
Shinpa—
**[01:54] Obi**
Why would you come here
**[01:58] Obi**
when it's already too late?!
**[02:09] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[02:13] Shin**
Gin-san, hang in there!
**[02:16] Gin**
Idiot...
**[02:18] Gin**
Why did you come?
**[02:21] Shin**
Yamazaki-san told me everything.
**[02:24] Shin**
That you guys were here...
**[02:27] Shin**
That he wouldn't be returning...
**[02:31] Gin**
Don't say that.
**[02:33] Gin**
Who went and decided that it was over?
**[02:37] Gin**
Stay out of this.
**[02:39] Gin**
Th-That guy will be back.
**[02:43] Gin**
I swear I'll bring him back to you.
**[02:48] Gin**
So can you wait just a little longer?
**[02:54] Gin**
It won't take much longer.
**[02:57] Gin**
Really.
**[02:59] Gin**
Please. I promise, okay?
**[03:08] Gin**
Damn...
**[03:13] Gin**
Damn...
**[03:18] Shin**
It's okay.
**[03:21] Shin**
You've done enough.
**[03:23] Shin**
So Gin-san, don't disappear on us.
**[03:28] Shin**
Even if Hajime-nii returns
**[03:31] Shin**
and Earth is saved,
**[03:34] Shin**
we won't be smiling if
you're not with us.
**[03:38] Shin**
It's okay if you don't
act like a big brother.
**[03:41] Shin**
It's okay if you're the total
opposite of a role model.
**[03:44] Shin**
It's okay if you aren't
showing us the way to go.
**[03:49] Shin**
As long as you're with us
when we've lost our way...
**[03:53] Shin**
As long as you're by our side,
sharing the pain and sorrow...
**[03:58] Shin**
As long as everybody's by
our side, we'll be smiling.
**[04:02] Shin**
No matter how difficult it may be.
**[04:05] Gin**
Shinpachi...
**[04:08] Shin**
So can you let us take it from here?
**[04:11] Shin**
Don't worry.
**[04:12] Shin**
I'm no longer the crybaby
little brother of Obi Hajime,
**[04:16] Shin**
nor am I a student of the
School of Beam Saber.
**[04:19] Shin**
I am the successor of the
School of Tendo Mushin
**[04:21] Shin**
and Odd Jobs' Shimura Shinpachi.
**[04:24] Gin**
Wait, Shin—
**[04:26] Kag**
Gin-chan!
**[04:27] Kag**
Hold on, Gin-chan!
**[04:29] Shin**
Kagura-chan...
**[04:32] Shin**
Take care of Gin-san for me.
**[04:34] Gin**
Didn't you hear me tell you to wait?
**[04:52] Obi**
Are you insane?
**[04:54] Obi**
You want to fight a man who completely
destroyed your big brother?
**[04:59] Shin**
You seem to be mistaken.
**[05:01] Shin**
Gin-san didn't come here to kill you.
**[05:04] Shin**
He came to save you.
**[05:05] Shin**
If Gin-san had come to kill you,
**[05:08] Shin**
you wouldn't be standing
before me right now.
**[05:10] Shin**
But it doesn't matter now.
**[05:12] Shin**
I'll get Hajime-nii back
even if I have to kill you,
**[05:16] Shin**
no matter how much
pain it may cause me.
**[05:20] Obi**
If you go through life with the blood
of your benefactor on your hands,
**[05:25] Obi**
you won't be the only one
who suffers as a result.
**[05:27] Otae**
I, Shimura Tae, will be the
witness for this battle.
**[05:34] Otae**
The School of Tendo Mushin
and the School of Beam Saber
**[05:37] ---**
in a no-holds-barred duel.
**[05:39] Otae**
Fight as true warriors to the very end.
**[05:42] Kag**
Boss lady...
**[05:44] Otae**
Please watch us, Obi-one-niisama.
**[05:48] Otae**
The crybaby who always
followed you around
**[05:52] Otae**
and all of us who always
admired your strength
**[05:56] Otae**
have become much stronger
**[06:00] ---**
after meeting you and everyone else.
**[06:03] Otae**
Strong enough to stop you.
**[06:06] Otae**
Begin now!
**[06:14] Shin**
Hajime-nii!
**[06:25] Obi**
Come, Shin-bo!
**[06:51] Obi**
I have seen the future of
the School of Tendo Mushin.
**[06:57] Obi**
You've become so strong,
Shin-bo, Otae-chan...
**[07:21] Otae**
Point.
**[07:25] A**
We've lost contact with Kenofi?
**[07:28] A**
Impossible, he's the
Galaxy Sword Master.
**[07:31] B**
Curses!
**[07:32] ---**
Do you have any idea how much money
**[07:34] ---**
we poured into making that thing?!
**[07:36] B**
It was a mistake to rely on a native
monkey to carry out this mission!
**[07:41] B**
How dare he die before
he could be of any use?!
**[07:44] B**
No matter what you spend on it, junk is—
**[07:46] Kon**
Shut up.
**[07:47] Kon**
Keep that filthy mouth of yours shut.
**[07:50] Kon**
He's not a piece of junk.
**[07:52] Kon**
And he's not a weapon.
**[07:54] Kon**
At long last, he's finally made it home.
**[07:58] Kon**
The samurai is back in the
country of the samurai.
**[08:01] Kon**
No more will you toy with
human lives and emotions!
**[08:06] Kon**
We will make you pay!
**[08:09] Kon**
Apprehend them!
**[08:11] Kon**
What?!
**[08:12] A**
Too bad for you, monkeys.
**[08:16] Obi**
That was an excellent strike.
**[08:19] Obi**
Shin-bo, you've come a long way.
**[08:23] Obi**
I'm very happy.
**[08:26] Shin**
You've always been a liar.
**[08:27] Shin**
And that hasn't changed.
**[08:30] Shin**
You always gave in to my persistence,
**[08:33] Shin**
and let me win once while
saying that I'd gotten stronger.
**[08:37] Shin**
You were always joking around.
**[08:41] Obi**
I was serious this time.
**[08:44] Obi**
Your voices pierced through
this cold metal body.
**[08:48] Obi**
Your voice,
**[08:51] ---**
Otae-chan's voice,
**[08:53] ---**
Instructor Sakata's voice...
**[08:57] Obi**
Your voices summoned my soul
from this lump of metal.
**[09:02] Obi**
Which is why I was able to beat
my other half at the very end.
**[09:09] Obi**
I couldn't match up to the rest of you,
**[09:12] Obi**
but for a moment, I think I
knew what true strength was.
**[09:16] Obi**
I can finally come home
without feeling ashamed.
**[09:22] Obi**
Truly, thank you very hamnida.
**[09:25] Kag**
You shouldn't leave, then.
**[09:28] Kag**
Stay here forever.
**[09:30] Kag**
We can all play with beam
sabers together again.
**[09:34] Kag**
I'll do a better job of preparing
your bath this time.
**[09:37] Kag**
So...
**[09:39] Kag**
Don't talk like this is the end.
**[09:42] Kag**
Don't leave Shinpachi and
the boss lady alone.
**[09:49] Obi**
Don't worry.
**[09:51] Obi**
I just left something up in space.
**[09:59] A**
Did you think that we wouldn't
be prepared for such an event?
**[10:02] A**
Even if Kenofi is disabled, the energy
that's accumulated inside won't vanish.
**[10:09] A**
At the moment, he's an unexploded bomb
that can destroy an entire planet.
**[10:14] A**
Do you know what will happen if
we give him a little stimulation?
**[10:18] Kon**
You bastard!
**[10:22] Kon**
Huh?
**[10:23] Kyu**
Don't touch me!
**[10:32] Kon**
What?
**[10:33] Hiji**
Are you guys okay?!
**[10:36] Kon**
Toshi!
**[10:37] Kon**
Stop them!
**[10:38] Kon**
They're going to
**[10:40] Kon**
discharge the energy in Obi Hajime
**[10:42] Kon**
and obliterate Earth!
**[10:45] Obi**
So once I've picked up
what I left behind,
**[10:50] Obi**
I'll come back.
**[10:52] Obi**
In the meantime,
**[10:54] Obi**
Instructor Sakata, look
after everyone for me.
**[11:08] Gin**
Let's go, guys.
**[11:13] Gin**
Didn't you hear me?
**[11:16] Gin**
You didn't forget the teachings of the
School of Beam Saber again, did you?
**[11:24] Otae**
It's okay.
**[11:27] Otae**
Don't worry, Obi-one-niisama.
**[11:31] Otae**
We won't cry anymore.
**[11:36] Otae**
So just promise... Just promise us...
**[11:41] Obi**
Yeah...
**[11:44] Obi**
I promise that we'll meet again.
**[11:49] Hiji**
Fire!
**[11:50] Hiji**
Shoot that thing down!
**[11:53] A**
It's too late!
**[11:55] B**
Beam cannon energy fully charged!
**[11:58] B**
We're locked onto Kenofi's coordinates!
**[12:03] A**
What?! Impossible!
**[12:05] A**
Kenofi has...
**[12:12] B**
That man is pointing
his beam cannon at us!
**[12:16] A**
It means nothing! Open fire!
**[12:22] Obi**
*Listen up, you two.*
**[12:25] Obi**
*Tears are handy for washing away
troubling and sad feelings.*
**[12:34] Obi**
*But when you grow up, you'll learn*
**[12:38] Obi**
*that there are things so sad, they
can never be washed away by tears.*
**[12:45] Obi**
*That there are painful memories
that should never be washed away.*
**[12:50] Obi**
*So people who are truly strong
laugh when they want to cry.*
**[12:57] Obi**
*They endure all of the pain and sorrow*
**[13:01] Obi**
*while laughing with everybody else.*
**[13:05] Obi**
*You can cry all you want right now.*
**[13:10] Obi**
*But one day, you must become
samurai strong enough not to cry.*

We've got a bunch of cute girls!

How about it, gentlemen?
**[13:48] Kon**
Is that true?
**[13:50] Kon**
We can choose anyone we want?
**[13:52] A**
Yup, you can choose anyone,
and they're all babes.
**[13:57] Kyu**
Really, then...
**[14:00] Both**
We'll take the babe named Otae.
**[14:02] A**
Oh, it's you guys again.
**[14:05] A**
You keep coming back every day.
**[14:07] A**
I told you that you're wasting your time.
**[14:09] A**
We haven't heard anything from Otae-chan
**[14:11] ---**
since she went on leave a month back,
**[14:13] A**
and we have no idea
when she's returning.
**[14:16] A**
We're struggling right now after
losing our top attraction,
**[14:20] A**
so could you not disrupt our business?
**[14:25] Kyu**
It's been a month already.
**[14:28] Kon**
That man saved our planet,
**[14:31] Kon**
but we weren't able to save anything.
**[14:37] Kyu**
I heard that Shinpachi-kun hasn't
been down to Odd Jobs since.
**[14:41] Kyu**
This is when they really need
other people by their sides,
**[14:47] Kyu**
but the person they truly want
by their sides is no longer here.
**[14:53] Kyu**
If we go visit, we'll only
put more stress on them.
**[14:57] Kyu**
I don't believe I can make
them smile right now.
**[15:02] Kon**
All we can do now is
wait and have faith
**[15:06] Kon**
that the two of them
will be able to overcome
**[15:08] ---**
their sorrow and move forward.
**[15:12] Kon**
Our job is to smile and welcome
them back when the time comes.
**[15:17] Kon**
For now, we wait.
**[15:18] Kon**
But when the time comes...
**[15:20] Kyu**
Yes, I'm sure they'll smile again.
**[15:22] Shin**
Man, that was so much fun.
**[15:25] Otae**
Yes, it's been so long since the two of us
**[15:27] ---**
were able to have some fun together.
**[15:29] Shin**
But I wanted to stay a little longer.
**[15:31] Otae**
That was long enough.
**[15:32] Otae**
We don't want to trouble
everyone any longer.
**[15:36] Shin**
Oh, it's Kondo-san and Kyubei-san.
**[15:39] Shin**
Haven't seen you in a while.
**[15:41] Shin**
The Shimura siblings
are back from Waiiha!
**[15:44] Otae**
Here, we brought chocolate covered
macadamia nuts as a souvenir.
**[15:48] Both**
Vacation?
**[15:50] Otae**
Yes, we went to Planet Waiiha,
where it's always summer.
**[15:54] Shin**
You know, with all these new long arcs,
**[15:56] ---**
we haven't had a chance to take a break.
**[15:58] Shin**
So we decided to use the paid
vacation days we've accumulated
**[16:01] ---**
and take some time off together.
**[16:04] Shin**
So, Planet Waiiha was awesome!
**[16:06] Shin**
You're probably thinking that
vacationing in Waiiha is too cliche.
**[16:10] Shin**
But there's a reason it's considered cliche.
**[16:13] Kon**
Ah, I understand what you mean.
**[16:14] ---**
Waiiha is the best!
**[16:15] Kon**
*How am I supposed to understand?!*
**[16:16] Kon**
*Why would you choose this
timing to go on vacation?!*
**[16:19] Kon**
*I thought that you were both
moping around inside your house,*
**[16:23] Kon**
*but you're completely tanned!*
**[16:24] Kon**
*Dark as chocolate covered
macadamia nuts!*
**[16:27] Kyu**
*Can't you tell, Kondo?
They're pushing themselves.*
**[16:31] Kyu**
*This wasn't an ordinary vacation.*
**[16:32] Kyu**
*They left Edo so we wouldn't
have to see them suffer.*
**[16:37] Kyu**
*And they're acting cheerful
so we don't notice that fact.*
**[16:42] Kyu**
*Don't say anything that'll
dig the wound open again.*
**[16:45] Kon**
Well, I'm glad that you
enjoyed yourselves.
**[16:48] Kon**
But it must have cost
a lot to go to Waiiha.
**[16:52] Kon**
You must have had a lot saved up.
**[16:53] Otae**
Oh, we paid for it with money
**[16:55] ---**
we received from Obi-one-niisama's
life insurance.
**[16:57] Kon**
*What wound? They dug up a
whole new grave on their own!*
**[17:01] Kon**
*I can see him! I can see
Obi-one-niisama rolling in the grave!*
**[17:03] Otae**
Obi-one-niisama made arrangements for
**[17:06] ---**
the money to be given to this
dojo if anything happened to him,
**[17:09] Otae**
so the money was meant
to be used for the dojo.
**[17:12] Kon**
*Really? So you went on vacation?*
**[17:14] Otae**
That's why...
**[17:14] Kon**
*You used that money to go on vacation?*
**[17:16] Otae**
We were happy to use it
**[17:18] Otae**
for macadamia nuts.
**[17:20] Kon**
*You used the money for macadamia nuts?!*
**[17:22] Kon**
*Wait!*
**[17:23] Kon**
*You spent the money from
his life on nuts?!*
**[17:25] Otae**
It wasn't much money.
**[17:27] Kon**
*He's gotta be mad!*
**[17:28] Kon**
*He's going to shoot
beams down from heaven!*
**[17:30] Kon**
*Wait, Kyubei-kun!*
**[17:32] Kon**
*These siblings are a lot
stronger than I expected!*
**[17:34] Kon**
*They've overcome their brother's death
and started trampling all over it!*
**[17:37] Kyu**
*You must understand, Kondo.*
**[17:39] Kyu**
*They're trying to say goodbye
to their memory of Obi Hajime.*
**[17:42] Kyu**
*So they exchanged his life for
chocolate covered macadamia nuts*
**[17:45] Kyu**
*so the memories will
melt like chocolate.*
**[17:48] Kon**
*No, that can't be it.*
**[17:51] Kyu**
*Don't you understand, Kondo?*
**[17:52] Kyu**
*Macadamia nuts are really good.*
**[17:55] Kon**
*You just want to eat macadamia nuts!*
**[17:57] Otae**
Please help yourself, Kondo-san.
**[18:00] Otae**
Please enjoy the fruits of the legacy
left behind by Obi-one-niisama's life.
**[18:04] Kon**
*I can't eat that!*
**[18:06] Kon**
*I've never eaten chocolate
that was so meaningful!*
**[18:09] Shin**
Hajime-nii...
**[18:11] Shin**
We won't let your wishes go to waste.
**[18:15] Shin**
We will restore this dojo
**[18:17] Shin**
and make it as busy as it
was when you were here
**[18:22] Shin**
with these macadamia nuts.
**[18:23] Kon**
*Uh, I'm pretty sure
you wasted the money!*
**[18:25] Kon**
*Why would you need macadamia nuts?!*
**[18:28] A**
Hello!
**[18:30] Otae**
Look, Shin-chan.
**[18:31] Otae**
They're here already.
**[18:33] B**
Excuse me.
**[18:34] B**
Is this the dojo that's
looking for students?
**[18:38] Shin**
We've been expecting you!
**[18:40] Shin**
Welcome to Kodokan!
**[18:43] Mada**
Is it true that you'll give us
macadamia nuts if we train in the sword?
**[18:46] Kon**
*You're just using the nuts as bait!*
**[18:49] Kon**
Shinpachi-kun! They're not
looking for a home dojo!
**[18:51] Kon**
They're just plain homeless!
**[18:53] Kon**
And what happened to your tan?!
**[18:54] Shin**
It's okay.
**[18:56] Shin**
We can start with macadamia nuts
**[18:57] ---**
and hope they learn to love the sword.
**[19:00] Shin**
If that's what it takes to
protect the sword he loved...
**[19:04] ---**
To protect this samurai country...
**[19:08] Mada**
Hey, who cares about swords?
**[19:10] Mada**
Give us the macadamia nuts already!
**[19:12] Kon**
*You should be looking for work
instead of begging for nuts.*
**[19:14] Gin**
Shut up!
**[19:16] Gin**
Don't be in such a rush.
**[19:17] Gin**
No need to worry.
**[19:19] Gin**
You'll get all the nuts you want,
**[19:22] Gin**
if you can land a clean hit on Sakata
Gintoki, substitute instructor
**[19:26] ---**
for the School of Tendo
Mushin Macadamia.
**[19:30] Kon**
You guys...
**[19:32] Gin**
I promise you this.
**[19:34] Gin**
By the time you get to eat your nuts,
**[19:37] ---**
you'll all be functional
members of society again.
**[19:40] Kon**
*Wait, this is turning into
a different kind of school!*
**[19:42] Gin**
So promise me something.
**[19:45] Gin**
No matter how difficult the training may be
**[19:48] Gin**
or what kinds of hardships you face in life,
**[19:52] Gin**
never stop smiling.
**[19:56] Gin**
That's the one and only rule in

We're all starving.

That's a good boy.
**[02:00] Kag**
Gin-chan, Sadaharu understands.
**[02:02] Gin**
Good.
**[02:03] Gin**
Then the three of us can split this.
**[02:07] Both**
Thanks.
**[02:10] Shin**
What the hell?!
**[02:12] Shin**
Don't you have any human dignity?!
**[02:15] Shin**
You shouldn't steal food from your
pet, no matter how hungry you are!
**[02:17] Shin**
You should be ashamed!
**[02:19] Gin**
Can you blame us?
**[02:20] Gin**
It's been ages since
we last had a client,
**[02:22] Gin**
so we don't have a single
grain of rice left.
**[02:26] Gin**
The situation's so grim
**[02:27] ---**
that we may go from eating dog
food to eating the dog for food.
**[02:30] Shin**
Eating the dog for food?!
**[02:31] Shin**
You're moving from pissing off the
PTA to pissing off PETA now?!
**[02:35] Gin**
What's that about PETA?
**[02:37] Gin**
Does the PTA eat PETA?
**[02:39] Kag**
The PTA only eats up
teachers with an attitude.
**[02:42] Shin**
That's completely different!
**[02:44] Gin**
Quit your bitching.
**[02:45] Gin**
Whose fault do you think this is?
**[02:49] Gin**
It's because of this large animal
that eats a lot and never works,
**[02:53] Gin**
and the glasses boy who just
wears glasses and never works.
**[02:57] Shin**
Hey! You've crossed the line now!
**[02:59] Shin**
Apologize! Apologize to my glasses!
**[03:01] Gin**
Seriously, you should
try to understand

how hard it is for me to
take care of you all.
**[03:07] Gin**
Hey, you're sporting some
yummy-looking wings.
**[03:10] Shin**
They're not wings!
They're greasy glasses!
**[03:13] Shin**
And they're not greasy!

You're wearing shellfish to be fashionable?!

Hold on, Sogo...

Isn't that the Odd Jobs dog?
**[06:29] Oki**
I don't know if he was
dumped or if he ran away,
**[06:31] ---**
but he was urinating in the streets.
**[06:32] Kon**
Uh, so why did you bring him here?
**[06:35] Oki**
Oh, you remember how we screwed up
**[06:37] ---**
the last time we tried to boost
our image with a mascot?
**[06:39] Oki**
We should give it another try.
**[06:41] Oki**
We can make some money by dumping him
**[06:44] ---**
and Hijikata-san at the South Pole
**[06:46] Oki**
and making the one who
returns alive our mascot.
**[06:47] Hiji**
That wouldn't be a mascot!
It'd be a scum-cot!

Give me a break.
**[06:52] Hiji**
We don't need any symbols
of weakness like mascots.
**[06:56] Hiji**
Besides, we already have a
mascot in Kondo-san, you fool.
**[06:59] B**
He's no mascot! He's a shit-cot!
**[07:01] Kon**
Who was that?! Who
called me Ridley Scott?!
**[07:04] Kon**
Thank you!
**[07:04] Hiji**
Nobody had anything
nice to say about you.
**[07:06] Hiji**
And why do we have to take
in their used goods?
**[07:10] Hiji**
He'll interfere with our work.
**[07:11] Hiji**
Get rid of him.
**[07:12] A**
Vice-Chief, are you telling us to
throw out this adorable creature?!
**[07:15] Hiji**
Adorable, my ass.
**[07:17] ---**
I'll have you all commit seppuku
for failing as warriors.
**[07:19] A**
Then you throw it out!
**[07:20] Hiji**
Fine, you fools.
**[07:30] Hiji**
Kondo-san...
**[07:31] Hiji**
I just remembered that we
don't have any police dogs.
**[07:33] A**
You commit seppuku!
**[07:34] Hiji**
Shut up!
**[07:35] Hiji**
I'm just saying that
we need police dogs!
**[07:37] Hiji**
There's nothing adorable
about this furball!
**[07:40] Hiji**
First, we'll run some tests to
see if it's qualified enough!
**[07:43] Hiji**
And I won't go easy on dogs, dammit!
**[07:46] Hiji**
Listen up! Police dogs
depend on their noses.
**[07:49] Hiji**
They need to be able to sniff out
suspects, drugs, and all kinds of stuff.
**[07:54] Hiji**
So here's a test.
**[07:55] Hiji**
Half-fat, quarter-fat,
non-cholesterol, non-oil, mustard.
**[08:00] Hiji**
Can you tell the difference?
**[08:01] A**
They're all mayonnaise!
**[08:04] A**
Hey, what are you planning on
using these police dogs for?!
**[08:05] A**
What kind of crime are
you preparing for?!
**[08:07] Hiji**
First, identify my favorite type.
**[08:09] A**
Uh, nobody knows what you
like! And nobody cares!
**[08:12] Hiji**
Ah, the quarter-fat?
**[08:14] Hiji**
An excellent choice.
**[08:16] Hiji**
But right now, I'm in the
mood for some non-oil.
**[08:18] A**
Your preference changes?!
**[08:20] Hiji**
But I like your taste.
**[08:22] Hiji**
Here's your reward.
**[08:24] Hiji**
Enjoy.
**[08:24] A**
You just wanted to feed
the dog mayonnaise!
**[08:27] Hiji**
Don't be shy.
**[08:29] Hiji**
Hurry up and eat.
**[08:31] Hiji**
Hurry up.
**[08:38] Sa**
Yes, there, there.
**[08:40] Sa**
Honestly, I don't know what happened,
**[08:43] Sa**
but you should probably make up soon.
**[08:46] Sa**
I know.
**[08:47] Sa**
Gin-san isn't the kind of person
who would kick you out.
**[08:51] Sa**
You probably left because he
was being nasty as usual.
**[08:56] Sa**
Unfortunately, I won't be
able to keep you here.
**[09:00] Sa**
You already have a home, after all.
**[09:04] Sa**
But if you plan on making up soon,
you can stay here until then.
**[09:09] Sa**
I can't let Gin-san's precious
pet die on the streets.
**[09:17] Sa**
Stop, that tickles.
**[09:19] Sa**
I envy you.
**[09:21] Sa**
Do you do this with
Gin-san all the time?
**[09:23] Sa**
I wish I could have been
born as Gin-san's pet.
**[09:27] Sa**
Just kidding.
**[09:29] Sa**
I'll go make something to eat.
**[09:31] Sa**
You must be hungry.
**[09:32] Sa**
Wait here.
**[09:40] Sa**
The moment I've been waiting
for has finally come!
**[09:45] Sa**
This is my chance to
become Gin-san's pet!
**[09:48] Sa**
His white fur will be my wedding dress!
**[09:53] Sa**
Hold on, Gin-san.
**[09:54] Sa**
Your cute pet will be coming
back to you soon.
**[10:05] Zura**
Ah, I see.
**[10:07] Zura**
It must have been difficult
to have such a lazy owner.
**[10:10] Zura**
But Sadaharu, I knew that
you would wake up one day.
**[10:14] Zura**
The spirit of the Joi burns within you.
**[10:17] Zura**
I knew that it would guide
you to your true leader.
**[10:20] Zura**
That you would find me.
**[10:22] Zura**
And that is why
**[10:24] Zura**
I've been waiting here since
**[10:26] ---**
that game of Kick the Can
two months ago.
**[10:28] Zura**
You can't have an episode about
Master Shoyo without me.
**[10:33] Zura**
I managed to adjust my
schedule so I could squeeze in,
**[10:36] Zura**
but I didn't expect this to take so long.
**[10:39] Zura**
I'm an expert at hiding,
**[10:41] Zura**
but it's been so long
**[10:42] ---**
that I had to wonder if
the game was already over.
**[10:45] Zura**
If anyone had even noticed
that I was playing...
**[10:49] Zura**
I felt like crying for a moment.
**[10:51] Zura**
Runaway Kotaro tried a
little too hard there.
**[10:55] Zura**
I caused everyone so much trouble.
**[10:57] Zura**
Well, everyone's probably been
worried and looking for me.
**[11:00] Zura**
I should probably head back.
**[11:05] Zura**
Crap...
**[11:06] Zura**
After staying in this position for two
months, my body is stiff as a rock!
**[11:09] Zura**
Zabeth, call for a doctor!
**[11:12] Zura**
How could this happen?
**[11:14] Zura**
I don't think I can last long
enough for sensei to arrive.
**[11:16] Zura**
S-Sadaharu-kun...
**[11:17] Zura**
I apologize.
**[11:19] Zura**
I won't be able to keep my promise
to become your owner.
**[11:22] Zura**
And can you please relay a
message when the doctor comes?
**[11:25] Zura**
Tell him to charge any taxi or
any other transportation costs
**[11:30] Zura**
to sensei.
***SIGN*** Please take me home.
**[12:02] Shin**
Did you see him around here?
**[12:03] A**
Yeah, it was a really big dog,
so it must have been him.
**[12:06] A**
He was dragging a little puppy around.
**[12:10] Kag**
Sadaharu...
**[12:13] Kag**
Sadaharu, where are you?!
**[12:16] Kag**
Say something if you're there!
**[12:18] Kag**
Please come back!
**[12:20] Kag**
Sadaharu!
**[12:39] Shin**
What? Work?
**[12:41] Gin**
Yeah, we finally have a client.
**[12:43] Gin**
No more eating dog food.
**[12:46] Shin**
Weren't you supposed to
be looking for Sadaharu
**[12:48] Shin**
instead of wasting time?
**[12:50] Gin**
Wasting time? Want me to punch you?
**[12:53] Shin**
Aren't you worried about him, Gin-san?
**[12:55] Shin**
Sadaharu hasn't been home in two days.
**[12:59] Shin**
He was starving when he left,
**[13:01] Shin**
and we don't know if he's
gotten anything to eat
**[13:02] Shin**
Sadaharu!
**[13:03] ---**
or if something's happened to him.
**[13:05] Shin**
How can you expect us to work?
**[13:05] Shin**
Come back, Sadaharu!
**[13:08] Gin**
That's not good, Shinpachi-kun.
**[13:09] Gin**
You're thinking like a NEET now.
**[13:13] Gin**
Nothing's happened to him.
**[13:15] Shin**
Huh?
**[13:15] Gin**
He left because he
couldn't get any food.
**[13:19] Gin**
It's that simple.
**[13:22] Gin**
An animal doesn't understand
the concept of family.
**[13:26] Gin**
Besides...
**[13:28] Gin**
I'm not interested in keeping
anyone around who isn't
**[13:30] ---**
willing to share when times are tough.
**[13:32] Gin**
Even if he's just an animal.
**[13:34] Gin**
There you go.
**[13:35] Gin**
If you like dog food, you can eat
it for the rest of your life.
**[13:38] Gin**
I'll go make some money and
have a chocolate parfait.
**[13:41] Shin**
W-Wait, Gin-san!
**[13:44] Shin**
Gin-san!
***SIGN*** Edo Animal Hospital

It's a mononoke!
**[13:49] A**
The dog god Moro has come
to hunt down our patients!
**[13:53] B**
Scram, mountain dog!
**[13:54] B**
This is where humans live!
**[13:56] B**
Mononoke should go back
to the mountains!
**[14:02] A**
It released something!
**[14:04] B**
Be careful!
**[14:04] B**
You'll die if you touch that stuff!

**[14:46] Gin**
So the owner of this house is dead?
**[14:49] B**
Yes, he died all alone.
**[14:53] B**
He kept a lot of dogs, and there were
**[14:55] B**
many complaints from the neighbors
about the smell and noise.
**[14:59] B**
There was a relative who liked
dogs and visited occasionally,
**[15:03] B**
but it appears that they grew distant.
**[15:06] C**
And the number of dogs was declining.
**[15:08] ---**
There was only one left when he died.
**[15:12] C**
When the neighborhood association
cleaned his place,
**[15:13] ---**
she didn't know what to do
with it, so she threw it out.
**[15:16] D**
W-Well, it was a mutt, sick and
frail, so nobody wanted it.
**[15:22] C**
There have been rumors that
he's been wandering around.
**[15:26] C**
We've been receiving complaints
from various pet owners.
**[15:29] C**
They're worried it may
get their pets sick.
**[15:32] B**
So could you catch it and
dispose of it for us?
**[15:37] Gin**
Is that even necessary? It probably
died already if it was sick.
**[15:41] B**
I hope so, but if we wait for it to
become a problem, it'll be too late.
**[15:45] B**
If it's dying anyway, does it matter
if it happens a little sooner?
**[15:48] C**
Honestly...
**[15:49] C**
That old man left us a
big mess to clean up.
**[15:55] A**
What's this huge dog?!
**[15:59] Gin**
Hey, hey.
**[16:01] Gin**
This stray's bigger than I was expecting.
**[16:04] Gin**
It'll take some effort to dispose of it.
**[16:07] Gin**
You know the puppy they're
talking about, right?
**[16:10] Gin**
If you turn it over,
I'll let you come home.
**[16:13] Gin**
The reward will buy us plenty of
food, so everyone will be happy.
**[16:17] Gin**
Do you see a problem?
**[16:22] C**
Wait up!
**[16:23] B**
Odd Jobs, catch that monster!
**[16:27] B**
Why are you standing there?
Hurry up already!
**[16:35] Gin**
*If you turn it over,
I'll let you come home.*
**[17:02] Gin**
*Then the three of us can split this.*
**[18:56] B**
It stinks!
**[18:57] D**
What's going on?!
**[18:58] D**
Who would do such a thing?!
**[19:00] C**
So many fish...
**[19:04] Gin**
It was our dog.
**[19:06] Gin**
It looked like he was taking
care of that puppy,
**[19:09] Gin**
so I tampered with the
food he was bringing it.
**[19:13] Gin**
Look. See this?
**[19:16] Gin**
My dog is very bright.
**[19:18] Gin**
He fed the puppy poisoned
food to do my job for me.
**[19:26] Gin**
So can you pay up now?
**[19:34] Gin**
Yo, you awake?
***SIGN*** General Animal Hospital
**[19:37] Gin**
You were suffering from malnutrition.
**[19:39] Gin**
They told me I shouldn't have
a pet if I can't feed it.
**[19:44] Gin**
Although you're the one who
ran off and starved yourself.
**[19:48] Gin**
But you helped deal
with the puppy for me.
**[19:54] Gin**
You can eat all you want today.
**[20:00] Gin**
What?
**[20:01] Gin**
I thought you might understand
how it feels to be an owner
**[20:04] ---**
after taking care of that puppy.
**[20:06] Gin**
Were you hoping for fish tails?
**[20:08] Gin**
Or is the portion too small,
considering the reward?
**[20:14] Gin**
Don't blame me.
**[20:15] Gin**
There were a lot of expenses
associated with this job,
**[20:18] Gin**
so I used up most of
the money we received.
**[20:21] Gin**
Besides, the Sakata family always
shares when times are tough.
**[20:27] Gin**
We share the food
**[20:31] Gin**
and the pain.
**[20:37] Gin**
Thanks for sharing.
**[20:43] A**
Thank you so much!
**[20:45] A**
You kept Grandpa's dog safe.
**[20:47] Shin**
Well, you should thank
the big dog inside.
**[20:57] Doc**
Hold on!
**[20:58] Doc**
You haven't paid for all the
medicine you fed the puppy!
**[21:02] Doc**
Hey!
**[21:04] Doc**
Sakata-san! Wait!
**[23:36] Shin**
Hold on a sec!
**[23:37] Shin**
What's this Final Act business?!
**[23:39] Shin**
This is news to me!
**[23:40] Kag**
Well, they're probably just fooling
around again with a fake!
**[23:44] Gin**
Or they're pretending that it's fake.
**[23:45] Kag**
Or it is fake.
**[23:46] Gin**
That's what they want you to think.
**[23:47] Kag**
But it's really fake.
**[23:48] Shin**
You're not making any sense at all!
