**[00:10] Gin**
Okay, attention please?
**[00:12] Gin**
Some of you may have already noticed,
**[00:15] Gin**
but there's this little dot here.
**[00:18] Gin**
Kind of like a secondary
sex characteristic.
**[00:20] Gin**
But it's not pronounced
Gintama Dash or Dot.
**[00:24] Gin**
Due to grown-up circumstances,
**[00:26] ---**
there has to be something here.
**[00:28] Gin**
Because grown-ups grow hair down there.
**[00:30] Gin**
But it's still pronounced Gintama.
**[00:32] Gin**
Grown-ups keep their mouths shut
**[00:35] ---**
when someone's unshaven.
**[00:37] Gin**
So with that lesson learned,
let's try this again.
***SIGN*** Snack Otose
**[02:14] Otose**
Apparently, she's got herself...
**[02:18] Otose**
...a man.
**[02:22] Otose**
I noticed that Catherine was behaving
**[02:24] ---**
rather oddly lately.
**[02:25] Otose**
That explains why.
**[02:27] Gin**
So, did someone lose a bet or something?
**[02:30] Otose**
He's a regular here.
**[02:32] Otose**
They've been on friendly
terms for a while.
**[02:34] Gin**
No, seriously. This guy must have lost
**[02:37] Gin**
This defies logic.
**[02:38] Gin**
No man would ever be interested
in that nasty woman.
**[02:40] Gin**
Clearly, she was the result
of a bad joke by God.
**[02:45] Gin**
If he threw together some
leftover cat and housewife parts
**[02:47] ---**
to make a present for his grandchild,
**[02:49] Gin**
which was then relegated
**[02:51] ---**
to chew toy duty, that would be her.
**[02:55] Tama**
But don't you think that
**[02:57] ---**
Catherine-san looks prettier these days?
**[02:59] Gin**
How?
**[03:00] Gin**
You mean how the cat and
housewife parts fit together?
**[03:02] Gin**
That's because God files
the edges and gives the
**[03:04] ---**
putty plenty of time to dry.
**[03:05] Tama**
According to my data,
**[03:07] ---**
women become more beautiful
**[03:08] ---**
when they fall in love.
**[03:09] Gin**
What?
**[03:10] Gin**
That's just lip service.
**[03:13] Tama**
Don't they tend to place their
**[03:14] ---**
hand on their cheek and sigh?
**[03:16] Gin**
Just stop already.
**[03:18] Gin**
Women, old and robot,
always love this topic.
**[03:22] Tama**
My folder of love stories
is ten yottabytes.
**[03:25] Gin**
That's ridiculously huge!
**[03:26] Gin**
Listen to me.
**[03:28] Gin**
You can putty up a Zaku
as much as you want.
**[03:29] Gin**
It's never going to become a Gundam.
**[03:31] Gin**
Fix your data.
**[03:33] Tama**
Understood.
**[03:34] Tama**
Master Gintoki can never
be like Hiro Mizushima.
**[03:37] Tama**
Gajiro Sato is the best he can manage.
**[03:39] Gin**
What's with the cruel gap
in wavy hair characters?
**[03:42] Catherine**
I'm back.
**[03:44] Gin**
Look, the Zaku's back.
**[03:46] Gin**
Tune her up, mechanic.
**[03:48] Catherine**
Sorry I took so long.
**[03:51] Catherine**
There was an elderly person
**[03:52] ---**
who needed help carrying something.
**[03:55] Catherine**
Please deduct it from my wages.
**[04:00] Gin**
Z-ZZZ Gundam has returned!
**[04:03] Tama**
Didn't I explain this to you?
**[04:04] Gin**
Explain what?!
**[04:07] Gin**
Her physique is completely different!
**[04:09] Gin**
You can't pin this on an
idiosyncratic animator!
**[04:12] Catherine**
Oh, Gintoki-san.
**[04:13] Catherine**
Welcome.
**[04:15] Catherine**
Enjoy yourself.
**[04:16] Gin**
Even her personality has been Newtype'd!
**[04:19] Gin**
Why is she so polite now?!
**[04:21] Gin**
Love can't change a girl this much!
**[04:24] Catherine**
Wait, love...?
**[04:26] Catherine**
You all know?
**[04:28] Catherine**
Oh, I'm so embarrassed!
**[04:30] Catherine**
I'm sorry.
**[04:31] Catherine**
I planned to tell you
**[04:33] ---**
once everything was settled...
**[04:35] Otose**
Everything was settled?
**[04:37] Otose**
Catherine, are you...
**[04:40] Catherine**
Otose-san, I'm...
***SIGN*** Snack Otose
**[04:44] Catherine**
...in a relationship with
**[04:45] ---**
someone who wants to marry me.
***SIGN*** It's Too Confusing When Talking About the Poster Girl for a Poster Store, So Call Her a Sandwich Board
**[04:56] Shin**
Suejiro Suemoto-san.
**[04:58] Shin**
A regular at Otose-san's place.
**[05:00] Shin**
That's how he got to know Catherine-san.
**[05:02] Shin**
He's an up-and-coming entrepreneur
**[05:04] Shin**
with considerable influence.
**[05:06] Kagura**
Hmm...
**[05:08] Kagura**
There are some real weirdos out there.
***SIGN*** Sugar Content
**[05:11] Shin**
People have always sucked up
**[05:13] ---**
to him because of his money,
**[05:15] Shin**
so Catherine-san was like
a breath of fresh air.
***SIGN*** Catherine-san!
***SIGN*** Sorry about being late.
***SIGN*** Please don't worry about it.
***SIGN*** You should wipe off your sweat first.
***SIGN*** Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.
***SIGN*** Ah!
***SIGN*** (My, Suejiro-san is so bold.)
***SIGN*** Flower House
***SIGN*** Oh, dear. My head is spinning.
***SIGN*** This is so much fun.
***SIGN*** Ah!
***SIGN*** Whoa...!
***SIGN*** Catherine-san...
***SIGN*** Suejiro-san...
**[06:00] Gin**
Wait a second.
**[06:02] Gin**
Is this the right show?
**[06:05] Gin**
Who wants to see them
fawn over each other?
**[06:08] Shin**
Gin-san, we should be happy for them.
**[06:11] Shin**
That would be the grown-up response.
**[06:12] Gin**
Hah!
**[06:13] Gin**
Grown-up!
**[06:14] Gin**
Yeah, yeah.
**[06:14] Gin**
So sorry!
**[06:16] Shin**
In any case, business is
booming at Snack Otose.
**[06:19] Shin**
It must be the charm of
a new wife or something,
**[06:22] Shin**
since Catherine-san has
doubled her clientele.
**[06:25] Shin**
And Suejiro-san seems
like a nice person.
**[06:27] Shin**
He was a regular customer,
**[06:29] Shin**
so he isn't going to tell
her to stop working.
**[06:32] Kagura**
Hmph!
**[06:33] Kagura**
Make sure you don't fall
**[06:35] ---**
for a woman like her, Sadaharu!
**[06:36] Kagura**
You never know when she's gonna
**[06:38] ---**
turn back into a chew toy.
***SIGN*** Sugar Content
**[07:31] Shin**
He lost all of his assets
**[07:32] ---**
when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
**[07:35] Shin**
So he was saying that he can
**[07:37] ---**
no longer make Catherine-san happy...
**[07:38] Kagura**
So he wants to call it off?
**[07:40] Kagura**
Just goes to show that he's a man with
**[07:42] ---**
no money and no balls.
**[07:44] Shin**
But Catherine-san refused.
**[07:46] Shin**
She said that she would support him.
**[07:49] Kagura**
Huh?
**[07:51] Shin**
Suejiro-san has a piece
of property left that
**[07:54] ---**
isn't in the Kabuki district.
**[07:55] Shin**
He's going to open a new business there.
**[07:58] Shin**
With Catherine-san.
**[07:59] Kagura**
So what?
**[08:01] Kagura**
That thief who showed up in
**[08:02] ---**
episode 12 of this anime,
**[08:04] Kagura**
is finally leaving in episode 206?
**[08:07] Shin**
Well, it's like she's graduating,
**[08:09] ---**
becoming independent.
**[08:13] Shin**
Otose-san will be a little lonely,
**[08:15] Shin**
but I'm sure that she'll be the first
**[08:17] ---**
one to congratulate them.
**[08:20] Tama**
Master Gintoki.
**[08:21] Tama**
There is an emergency.
**[08:23] Tama**
Could you come see Ms.
Otose immediately?
**[08:28] Gin**
Uh, I have a little
emergency of my own here.
**[08:31] Gin**
Could you leave immediately?
**[08:33] Tama**
I will take over here.
**[08:35] Gin**
Take over what?
***SIGN*** Keep the bathroom clean!
**[08:36] Tama**
Go see Ms. Otose now.
**[08:39] Gin**
After walking through the cold,
**[08:41] ---**
I'm at terminal velocity,
or diarrhea city.
**[08:44] Tama**
I have retrieved the appropriate data.
**[08:45] Tama**
I simply need to continue
making ice cream, correct?
**[08:48] Gin**
Chocolate.
**[08:50] Gin**
And make sure it doesn't
fall off the cone.
**[08:53] Gin**
Man...
**[08:54] Gin**
What's going on?
**[08:56] Shin**
She probably wants to talk about
**[08:57] ---**
Catherine-san and Suejiro-san's future?
**[09:02] Kagura**
-Gin-chan!
-Gin-San!
**[09:03] Suejiro**
Catherine!
**[09:04] Suejiro**
Are you okay?!
**[09:06] Suejiro**
What was that for?!
**[09:08] Suejiro**
Otose-san!
**[09:10] Otose**
If you want to leave, scram.
**[09:13] Otose**
I won't object or try to stop you.
**[09:17] Otose**
But I can't stand
**[09:19] ---**
to watch people like you who dream
**[09:22] Otose**
and can't keep their feet on the ground.
**[09:26] Suejiro**
You can call me whatever you want!
**[09:29] Suejiro**
But are you really saying that
**[09:30] ---**
Catherine's hopes are
just a pipe dream?!
**[09:32] Catherine**
Otose-san...
**[09:33] Suejiro**
Catherine!
**[09:34] Catherine**
I've been saving up money
**[09:39] ---**
so I might open my own bar one day...
***SIGN*** Snack Otose
**[09:43] Catherine**
I wanted to create a place
**[09:45] ---**
like this one, where
everyone was all smiles.
**[09:50] Catherine**
I wanted to become a
selfless person like you...
**[09:58] Otose**
I see how it is, Suejiro-san.
**[10:00] Otose**
I was wondering how you could
**[10:02] ---**
afford to open a new business.
**[10:03] Otose**
That explains it.
**[10:05] Catherine**
Don't say that!
**[10:08] Suejiro**
I just want to work together
for our future...!
**[10:11] Otose**
Go ahead and get married,
be independent.
**[10:15] Otose**
You don't need permission from me.
**[10:18] Otose**
We're total strangers, after all.
**[10:23] Otose**
Or is there more?
**[10:24] Otose**
You came here because you wanted to
**[10:28] ---**
weasel money out of me and Catherine?
**[10:32] Shin**
Otose-san!
**[10:33] Shin**
That's crossing the line...
**[10:34] Catherine**
Always...
**[10:36] Catherine**
I always thought of you as my mother...
**[10:42] Catherine**
Fine, you old hag!
**[10:44] Catherine**
I don't need your permission!
**[10:46] Catherine**
And I'm never coming back to see you!
**[10:50] Catherine**
Roll over and die!
**[10:52] Otose**
That's nice.
**[10:54] Otose**
I feel a lot better knowing that I won't
**[10:55] ---**
have to see your face again!
**[10:57] Catherine**
Wait up, hag!
**[10:58] Catherine**
I'm not finished with you...
**[11:00] Otose**
I'll give you that instead of money.
**[11:02] Otose**
You can display it in your bar.
**[11:04] Otose**
It'll be the perfect place to display
**[11:05] ---**
a cheap bottle of alcohol.
**[11:06] Catherine**
You old hag!
**[11:07] Catherine**
I'll make you eat your words!
**[11:09] Catherine**
I'll start up a bar that beats
**[11:10] ---**
the crap out of this run-down place!
**[11:12] Catherine**
I'll become bigger than you ever will!
**[11:16] Catherine**
Goddamn!
**[11:17] Suejiro**
Catherine!
**[11:18] Suejiro**
Catherine!
**[11:18] Shin**
Catherine-san!
**[11:19] Kagura**
Hey, you thief!
**[11:21] Suejiro**
Catherine!
***SIGN*** Kabuki District Station
**[11:38] Shin**
Write us a letter once
you're settled down.
**[11:40] Shin**
And invite us over
once your bar is open.
**[11:44] Shin**
We'll all come to visit.
**[11:46] Tama**
Let me know if anything comes up.
**[11:49] Tama**
I will be right there.
**[11:51] Catherine**
Thank you very much.
**[11:52] Shin**
Sorry that this isn't
much of a send-off...
**[11:55] Shin**
Where did Gin-san run off to this time?
**[11:58] Shin**
Hey, Kagura-chan!
**[11:59] Shin**
You should say goodbye.
**[12:02] Kagura**
Don't come back!
**[12:04] Shin**
Come on, Kagura-chan!
**[12:06] Kagura**
But if it's too much to take...
**[12:09] Kagura**
If you can't put up with the in-laws,
**[12:12] Kagura**
you can come back after
raking him for alimony.
**[12:15] Kagura**
You'll be more than welcome then.
**[12:22] Catherine**
Really, thank you for everything.
**[12:26] Catherine**
Please take care...
**[12:30] Shin**
Catherine-san, uh...
About Otose-san...
**[12:32] N**
The train on Platform 2
will be departing momentarily.
**[12:35] Catherine**
I'll be going then.
**[12:37] Catherine**
Suejiro-san is waiting for me.
**[12:40] Shin**
Please wait, Catherine-san!
**[12:43] Catherine**
Please take care of...
**[12:47] Catherine**
...Otose-san for me.
***SIGN*** Snack Otose
**[12:55] Otose**
Didn't you read the sign?
**[12:57] Otose**
We're closed today.
**[12:59] Gin**
Really?
**[13:00] Gin**
Guess you don't have a choice
**[13:02] ---**
without your poster girl around.
**[13:04] Gin**
Don't worry.
**[13:06] Gin**
I'm not here for a drink.
**[13:08] Gin**
I'm here to do the pouring.
**[13:20] Otose**
I never knew.
**[13:24] Otose**
When I first met her,
**[13:26] ---**
she was just a dirty thief.
**[13:28] Otose**
I felt so bad for her
**[13:31] Otose**
that I let her stay at my bar.
**[13:33] Otose**
But she kept wandering off.
**[13:38] Otose**
Couldn't really blame her
**[13:40] ---**
since she was a stray at heart,
**[13:43] Otose**
but lately, she's settled down
**[13:46] ---**
and been working hard.
**[13:50] Otose**
I never knew she actually
had a plan for her future...
**[13:54] Gin**
You didn't like the guy?
**[13:56] Otose**
I should be grateful
**[13:57] ---**
that anyone was willing to take her.
**[14:01] Otose**
I understand that she
can't exactly be choosy.
**[14:04] Otose**
Still, as a parent...
**[14:07] Otose**
Your daughter can bring
home the perfect man
**[14:10] Otose**
and you'll still be able
to find something wrong.
**[14:13] Otose**
I can't just smile and send her off,
**[14:16] Otose**
when I know she's going to suffer.
**[14:19] Otose**
That was the best I could manage.
**[14:24] Otose**
I feel bad.
**[14:26] Otose**
So this is how it ends.
**[14:30] Gin**
If you feel bad, don't
talk like it's over.
**[14:36] Gin**
Once she's opened a bar
that's as good as this one,
**[14:40] Gin**
you should go have a drink.
**[14:49] Otose**
Catherine, find your happiness.
**[14:58] N**
The last train is departing.
**[15:04] N**
Today's service has concluded.
**[15:08] N**
Please exit the station
in a swift manner.
**[15:34] Man**
Suemoto?
**[15:35] Man**
Nope, never heard of him.
**[15:37] Man**
I don't think there's anybody
by that name in this area.
**[15:40] Man**
A bar?
**[15:41] Man**
No, no.
**[15:43] Man**
They're going to open a drugstore here.
***SIGN*** Greater Edo Bank
***SIGN*** Please wait.
***SIGN*** Your balance is 0 yen. Would you like a receipt?
**[16:06] Machine**
Please remove your card.
**[16:22] Man**
Are you new here?
**[16:24] Man**
I don't know what you've been through,
**[16:26] ---**
but it's a harsh world out there.
**[16:29] Man**
If you need anything, let me know.
**[16:32] Man**
They call me the lord of this park.
**[16:35] Man**
I'll do anything for a little alcohol...
***SIGN*** Bacchus
**[16:40] Man**
W-Wait!
**[16:41] Man**
Wh-Where did you get this stuff?!
**[16:44] Catherine**
Don't touch that!
**[16:46] Man**
L-Lady, that's incredible stuff!
**[16:48] Man**
Bacchus wine from Planet Bacchus,
**[16:51] ---**
only made once every hundred years!
**[16:57] Man**
Legendary stuff that
**[16:58] ---**
will net hundreds from any collector!
**[17:00] Man**
H-How did you get your hands on this?!
**[17:06] Otose**
You can display it in your bar.
**[17:08] Otose**
The perfect place to display
a cheap bottle of alcohol.
**[17:13] Catherine**
Otose-san...
**[17:16] Catherine**
You were giving me a push in the back...
**[17:20] Catherine**
I'm so sorry, Otose-san...
**[17:25] Catherine**
I have no place to display
this wonderful bottle...
**[17:30] Man**
Wait, I didn't drink any!
**[17:31] Man**
I didn't even take a sip!
**[17:33] Man**
I just touched the bottle!
**[17:34] Man**
I'm sorry! Really sorry!
**[17:37] Man**
Sorry! I'm sorry!
**[17:39] Man**
Okay?
**[17:44] Madao**
So yeah.
**[17:47] Madao**
She wouldn't tell me
**[17:48] ---**
what happened when I asked.
**[17:51] Madao**
She kept saying that she
**[17:52] ---**
couldn't go back because she promised.
**[17:55] Madao**
I guess she got sick
of me asking questions,
**[17:58] Madao**
since she just ran off.
**[18:01] Madao**
Do you know anything, Gin-san?
**[18:04] Gin**
Hasegawa-san...
**[18:06] Gin**
Were your parents happy
when you got married?
**[18:10] Madao**
Where did that come from?
**[18:13] Madao**
I married into money.
**[18:15] Madao**
So my whole family was thrilled.
**[18:18] Gin**
I see...
**[18:21] Gin**
That's what matters in the end.
**[18:25] Madao**
Hey, it's starting, Gin-san!
**[18:28] Madao**
Whoa, wait!
**[18:29] Madao**
Wh-What?!
**[18:30] Madao**
Man, that's nasty!
**[18:32] Madao**
Gin-san!
**[18:34] Madao**
Look at that!
**[18:35] Madao**
What?
**[18:38] Madao**
Huh?

**[18:41] Loan**
You actually got the money.
**[18:43] Loan**
I knew you could do it.
**[18:45] Loan**
You just have to trick a few women
**[18:47] ---**
and you can pay back

What was your opinion of this target,
**[18:51] ---**
as a former gigolo.
**[18:53] Suejiro**
Quite frankly, she was so easy
**[18:54] ---**
that I was bored to death.
**[18:56] Suejiro**
I just used her dream of opening a bar,
**[18:59] Suejiro**
and she completely fell for it.
**[19:01] Suejiro**
Stupid woman.
**[19:03] Suejiro**
Why would I waste my
time on that old lady?
**[19:06] Suejiro**
I could barely stand
walking next to her.
**[19:09] Loan**
I don't know how you
came up with the idea
**[19:11] Loan**
of pretending to go broke
after you were a couple.
**[19:14] Suejiro**
Most women will do anything for money.
**[19:17] Suejiro**
But there are a few exceptions
**[19:19] Suejiro**
who have a weakness for the penniless.
**[19:23] Loan**
You're starting to look
pretty evil yourself.
**[19:26] Loan**
At this rate, you'll pay
off the rest in no...
**[19:29] Loan**
Wh-What's that?!
**[19:33] Man**
B-Bro!
**[19:34] Man**
We're under attack!
**[19:36] Loan**
Wh-What?!
**[19:37] Loan**
Which gang is it?!
**[19:38] Man**
It's not a gang!
**[19:39] Man**
There's only one...

**[19:44] Suejiro**
You're the man who was at Otose's bar!
**[19:48] Gin**
Don't worry.
**[19:50] Gin**
You guys aren't evil.
**[19:53] Gin**
You just stole money from a woman
**[19:55] ---**
who was saving up for her dream...
**[19:58] Gin**
You fooled her into thinking you
**[20:00] ---**
wanted to marry her so you
could take her money...
**[20:04] Gin**
That doesn't make you evil.
**[20:08] Gin**
I'll show you what true evil looks like.
**[20:25] Otose**
Do you have a moment?
**[20:28] Otose**
I feel like having a drink.
**[20:31] Otose**
Are you open?
**[20:33] Otose**
That's a relief.
**[20:35] Otose**
I didn't think anyone
**[20:37] ---**
would be open with the snow and all.
**[20:40] Otose**
Just give me one shot
of your cheapest booze.
**[20:57] Otose**
This is a nice place.
**[20:59] Otose**
You can watch the moon, watch the snow,
**[21:01] ---**
and have a drink.
**[21:05] Otose**
But I have one complaint.
**[21:10] Otose**
Nobody cries while pouring a drink.
**[21:16] Otose**
You have to have a smile
on your face at all times.
**[21:22] Otose**
Even if the customer is crying.
**[21:26] Otose**
You still have much to learn, Catherine.
**[21:38] Gin**
Well, let's go have a drink.
**[21:41] Shin**
Gin-san.
**[21:42] Gin**
I brought a little present...
**[21:44] Gin**
The drinks...
**[21:47] Gin**
...are on me.
