**[00:04] Tak**
I guess humans don't change that easily, huh?
**[00:09] Tak**
Even after dying,
**[00:11] Tak**
even after ten years,
**[00:13] Tak**
everybody's still just screwing around.
**[00:17] Gin**
I don't think so.
**[00:19] Gin**
Ten years ago, I would've killed you.
**[00:21] Kat**
I see.
**[00:23] Kat**
So you've learned to save
your fun for later, huh?
**[00:27] Kat**
You're all grown up.
**[00:29] Gin**
Shove it.

**[02:08] Tak**
It seems things changed
drastically while I was dead.
**[02:14] Tak**
The guys who were trying to defend the
country from me until just the other day
**[02:18] Tak**
are being targeted by it.
**[02:20] Gin**
Nothing's changed.
**[02:22] Gin**
Once we take them out,
it'll be your turn next,
**[02:25] Gin**
Takasugi.
**[02:26] Kat**
Until then, do the best
you can to stay alive.
**[02:31] Kat**
If you're still worth using at all, that is.
**[02:34] Tak**
Hey, what the hell are they saying?
**[02:38] Sak**
Translated simply, they're saying...
**[02:41] Sak**
"Don't die yet, buddy."
**[02:44] Sak**
"A lot has happened, but forget
all of it for now and play ni—"
**[02:47] Kat**
Who said anything of the sort?
This interpreter sucks!
**[02:50] Kat**
Bring us Toda Natsuko!
**[02:51] Gin**
When did we ever play nice with that moron?!
**[02:54] Gin**
I'll keep it nice and short,
so translate it properly this time.
**[02:57] Gin**
"F*ck you, man. Ptoo."
**[02:59] Sak**
Why'd you turn into a foreigner?
**[03:01] Sak**
Mr. Takasugi, he's basically sayin'...
**[03:05] Sak**
He wants to f*ck you.
**[03:07] Gin**
Don't translate that literally!
**[03:08] Gin**
Ow!
**[03:08] Kat**
Over here, Mr. Sakamoto.
**[03:10] Sak**
What the heck? Can't you just
talk to each other directly?
**[03:15] Kat**
Oh, sorry. I'd built up some phlegm.
**[03:19] Sak**
You just wanted to spit it
out? I'm not a spittoon!
**[03:22] Kat**
You don't need to interpret.
**[03:24] Kat**
Just spit some phlegm on him or something.
**[03:26] Sak**
Why couldn't you just spit on him directly?!
**[03:28] Sak**
Um, Mr. Takasugi...
**[03:30] Tak**
Tell him I'm sending that
phlegm right back at him.
**[03:33] Sak**
Send it right back at *him*, then!
**[03:35] Sak**
Don't use me as a middleman!
**[03:36] Sak**
I'm not a phlegm interpreter!
**[03:38] Sak**
Damn, this stinks!
**[03:39] Sak**
One of you has really stinky spit!
**[03:41] Gin**
Tell him he can't have any
phlegm when he just woke up.
**[03:42] Gin**
Hey, c'mon, stop—
**[03:44] Tak**
Tell him not to blame me, but the fool who
lives and breathes sugar all the time.
**[03:45] Tak**
Seriously, your phlegm reeks!
**[03:50] Kat**
Tell him I had ramen with extra
garlic but brushed my teeth.
**[03:51] Kat**
Ugh, that seriously stinks! Gross!
**[03:54] Sak**
Knock it off!
**[03:56] Sak**
They're the ones you need
to be spittin' at right now!
**[04:01] Tak**
So the students of the honorable
Shoka Sonjuku school
**[04:04] Tak**
are all enemies of the state now, huh?
**[04:06] Gin**
That's no state.
**[04:08] Gin**
That's nothing like a country.
**[04:15] U**
They thirst...
**[04:17] U**
The flesh and blood within me
that once made up that man.
**[04:22] U**
Are you happy or sad?
**[04:30] U**
Your students, who once
split up because of you,
**[04:33] U**
have now gathered again here for you...
**[04:37] U**
To be erased by you, Shoyo.
**[04:42] Hen**
They even built things like that?
**[04:45] Tak**
I see.
**[04:46] Tak**
So that monster crow has finally been
dragged down to a place I can reach him.
**[04:51] Kat**
Takasugi, you...
**[04:53] Kat**
You knew about Utsuro?
**[04:57] Tak**
Maybe, maybe not.
**[04:59] Tak**
But if anyone could capture a man
so strong and kill him easily,
**[05:06] Tak**
it'd have to be Sensei himself.
**[05:08] Tak**
No, it'd have to be something
else that was within him.
**[05:12] (Flashback) 304**
You ended up here after losing
your way, too, didn't you?
**[05:16] (Flashback) 304**
I am the same.
**[05:18] (Flashback) 304**
I'm still lost.
**[05:20] (Flashback) 304**
But that's all right.
**[05:22] (Flashback) 304**
Doubt yourself, lose your way,
**[05:24] (Flashback) 304**
and become the kind of
samurai you want to be.
**[05:28] Tak**
Sensei was fighting something...
**[05:31] Tak**
Most likely the something that was within him.
**[05:35] Tak**
But he lost,
**[05:37] Tak**
and only it remained.
**[05:40] Tak**
And it's still acting like it owns the world,
rebuilding countries as it pleases.
**[05:46] Tak**
In that case, I'll have to keep fighting, too.
**[05:50] Tak**
I don't care what you guys do from here on.
**[05:53] Tak**
My mind was made up a long time ago.
**[05:59] Tak**
I'll simply destroy this
rotten world he built!
**[06:10] Mat**
Shinsuke-sama!
**[06:16] Ban**
Like they'd stop now.
**[06:20] Ban**
Those men cannot be stopped anymore.
**[06:27] Tak**
Hold the crows off!
**[06:29] Gin**
We'll crush that junk!
**[06:37] Kat**
*That day,*
**[06:38] Kat**
*we all made countless graves.*
**[06:41] Kat**
*Not just for Sensei and our comrades,*
**[06:45] Kat**
*but also for ourselves.*
**[06:49] Kat**
* When Yoshida Shoyo died,*
* his students died with him.*
**[06:55] Kat**
* Their paths would never*
* again come together...*
**[06:58] Kat**
*Or so I thought.*
**[07:04] Kat**
*But, even as we walked down separate paths,*
**[07:07] Kat**
*we never strayed from Sensei's teachings.*
**[07:12] Kat**
* Seeking the kind of samurai*
* each of us wanted to be,*
**[07:16] Kat**
*we doubted ourselves and lost our way,*
**[07:17] Kat**
*but we never stopped walking,*
**[07:20] Kat**
*and that's why our paths converged once more.*
**[07:34] Kat**
*The one who brought them together*
**[07:36] Kat**
*was none other than Sensei.*
**[07:52] Kat**
*It might only be a fleeting chance meeting.*
**[08:15] Kat**
*But, even if it's only momentary,*
**[08:19] Kat**
* if we can go back to being Yoshida*
* Shoyo's students once more,*
**[08:23] Kat**
* if we can go back to*
* being just friends again,*
**[08:26] Kat**
*we couldn't ask for anything more.*
**[08:35] Tak**
How does it feel to be a liability
to a guy who just left a sickbed?
**[08:39] Gin**
And how does it feel to be forced to
rely on that liability to survive?
**[08:47] Gin**
It sucks.
**[08:55] G**
Impossible!
**[08:56] G**
They destroyed those weapons
all by themselves?
**[09:01] Mat**
Now's our chance!
**[09:05] Mat**
Fight them off!
**[09:07] Mat**
We're going back to Earth alive!
**[09:09] Hen**
We have those four on our side!
**[09:14] Sak**
Good grief.
**[09:15] Sak**
Don't put us on a pedestal
only when you need us.
**[09:19] Sak**
*But I have to apologize, everyone.*
**[09:22] Sak**
*I've started to feel it doesn't matter*
**[09:26] Sak**
*whether we win this battle or not.*
**[09:30] Sak**
* If I just cast aside thoughts of victory and*
* defeat, I can raise hell with those punks.*
**[09:37] Sak**
* If you knew I was havin'*
* pathetic thoughts like those,*
**[09:41] Sak**
* you probably wouldn't let me*
* stand by your side anymore.*
**[09:47] Gin**
Tatsuma!
**[09:49] Sak**
Comin'!
**[09:49] Sak**
Zura! Takasugi!
**[09:51] Sak**
Pretend to retreat and draw the enemy in!
**[09:54] Sak**
Gintoki!
**[09:56] Sak**
Use that chance to get past 'em!
**[10:01] Sak**
We didn't come all this way
just to help an old pal.
**[10:05] Sak**
Gintoki...
**[10:06] Sak**
Use your old pals to help
the new ones you've found
**[10:11] Sak**
who'll support our country's future!
**[10:14] Sak**
Your old friends will take
on the country of old.
**[10:18] Sak**
You lead your new friends to the new one.
**[10:21] Sak**
We'll be all right now.
**[10:24] Sak**
Go, for the people you truly
want to protect right now!
**[10:29] Tak**
Have you all lost your minds?
**[10:34] Tak**
Brat.
**[10:35] Tak**
I didn't save your life for that crap.
**[10:40] Tak**
Don't let anyone else take his head.
**[10:44] Tak**
246 wins, 246 losses,
**[10:47] Tak**
and one draw...
**[10:49] Tak**
Next time, the country
or whatever won't matter.
**[10:52] Tak**
I'll mop up everything else
**[10:53] Tak**
and come for his head alone.
**[10:56] Tak**
So, until then...
**[11:01] Tak**
...take care...
**[11:02] Tak**
...of our friend.
**[11:06] Shin**
Got it!
**[11:21] Sak**
*This is for the best.*
**[11:23] Sak**
*Even if we never meet again,*
**[11:27] Sak**
* we'll be friends who can stand by you with*
* our heads held high until the very last.*
**[11:36] U**
Prepare to land.
**[11:39] U**
It seems I have to correct
my students' failings myself.
**[11:43] U**
Sir.
**[11:44] O**
*Utsuro-sama.*
**[11:46] O**
I promise to bring you their heads.
**[11:53] O**
*I, Oboro, am also your student.*
**[11:57] O**
* Allow me to perform one*
* last act of loyalty for you.*
**[12:02] G**
Come in!
**[12:04] G**
This is the 9th Division!
**[12:05] G**
*Requesting immediate help!*
**[12:07] G**
* The enemy's counterattack has dealt great*
* damage to both the 9th and 10th Divisions!*
**[12:12] U**
Was it Umibozu?
**[12:14] G**
*Not just him.*
**[12:15] G**
*There could be someone else on the move.*
**[12:18] G**
* We've received word that our rear guard*
* has been attacked by an unknown unit!*
**[12:24] G**
*And, while we haven't confirmed it,*
**[12:25] G**
* we've also received word*
* that it was just one man.*
**[12:28] U**
Oh?
**[12:29] G**
*Anyway, send hel—*
**[12:35] Abu**
Hey.
**[12:41] Abu**
Where am I?
**[12:42] Abu**
Is this Hell?
**[12:44] Umi**
There's definitely a seat reserved
for me in Hell after all this,
**[12:48] Umi**
but I unfortunately still
have my legs and hair.
**[12:51] Abu**
Uh, you don't have any hair.
**[12:55] Abu**
It's only a matter of time.
**[12:57] Abu**
Our ride's almost here.
**[13:01] Umi**
If you've got time for
idle chatter, why not run?
**[13:06] Abu**
Umibozu, are you really here
to kill your stupid son?
**[13:13] Abu**
If you are, why would you protect us?
**[13:17] Abu**
What the hell did you come here to fight?
**[13:22] Umi**
Don't ask me.
**[13:24] Umi**
It's pathetic, right?
**[13:26] Umi**
Even if I can take out thousands
of enemies in front of me,
**[13:29] Umi**
I have no idea how to have
a proper father-son fight.
**[13:34] Umi**
The only way I know to show my love
and hatred is with this thing.
**[13:39] G**
Bring my weapon!
**[13:41] G**
Umibozu, the living legend.
**[13:44] G**
A worthy opponent indeed.
**[13:46] G**
I am the 1st Division commander who has
kept the Harusame going for a long time,
**[13:51] G**
the Beast King, Shirei!
**[13:52] G**
Can you take my attack...
**[14:03] Kam**
Pull yourself together, Commander.
**[14:07] Kam**
How could you mess up
receiving your own weapon?
**[14:10] Kam**
But don't worry.
**[14:12] Kam**
I'll finish your job for you.
**[14:16] Kam**
Umibozu, the living legend.
**[14:19] Kam**
A worthy opponent indeed.
**[14:21] Kam**
Replacing 1st Division Commander
Shirei as your opponent
**[14:25] Kam**
is the 7th Division commander,
**[14:28] Kam**
your stupid son.
**[14:47] G**
Y-You're...
**[14:50] G**
Kamui!
**[14:52] G**
Kill him!
**[14:58] Kam**
Didn't you hear me?
**[14:59] Kam**
I'm saying I'll take over
your commander's job!
**[15:08] Kam**
The enemy's over there.
**[15:10] Kam**
Now, charge.
**[15:24] Umi**
Don't throw things at people.
**[15:32] Umi**
Don't point sharp objects at people.
**[15:40] Umi**
I'm back from Hell
**[15:42] Umi**
to fight you,
**[15:45] Umi**
baldy!
**[15:48] Umi**
Don't call me baldy.
**[15:50] Umi**
Call me your cool-headed dad!
**[15:59] Abu**
Commander! Umibozu!
**[16:02] Abu**
Calm down!
**[16:03] Abu**
This is not the time!
**[16:17] Abu**
*It begins...*
**[16:26] Abu**
*The universe's worst father-son fight.*
**[16:34] Abu**
*Nobody can stop it now!*
**[16:43] (Flashback) Umi**
Kamui.
**[16:46] (Flashback) Umi**
Grow strong.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Umi**
And protect Mom and Kagura.
**[16:56] Kam**
*Look at me, Umibozu.*
**[16:59] Kam**
*I've grown strong.*
**[17:04] Kam**
* Ever since then, I've desperately*
* tried to follow in your footsteps.*
**[17:08] Kam**
* Ever since then, I've kept*
* fighting just to surpass you.*
**[17:13] Kam**
*Look at me, Umibozu.*
**[17:16] Kam**
*I've grown strong enough to kill you.*
**[17:24] Kam**
*So go back to being a beast once again!*
**[17:29] Kam**
*We're not father and son tied by blood here.*
**[17:34] Kam**
* We both want to prove we're*
* stronger than the other...*
**[17:38] Kam**
*We're just two male beasts!*
**[17:40] Kam**
*There isn't anyone who can stop us now...*
**[17:55] Kag**
No matter how many times you start this
nonsense, I'll stop you each time.
**[18:01] Kag**
Let's go back
**[18:03] Kag**
to being just family.
**[18:07] Shin**
Outta the way!
**[18:10] Shin**
Where are you, Kagura-chan?!
**[18:12] Shin**
If you're here, answer me!
**[18:15] Gin**
Pachi-boy.
**[18:16] Gin**
There's only one man who could pull
this crap against this many people.
**[18:22] Shin**
Umibozu-san...
**[18:24] Shin**
He really does want to protect Kamui-san
from the Harusame, not just stop him.
**[18:30] Gin**
I don't know.
**[18:31] Gin**
Whatever the old man wants,
**[18:33] Gin**
that stupid son won't stop anymore.
**[18:36] Gin**
If he's alive, he'll definitely
come for his head.
**[18:39] Gin**
And Kagura will definitely be there.
**[18:42] Gin**
Let's hurry.
**[18:43] Gin**
The Harusame's troops are
starting to withdraw now.
**[18:46] Gin**
That family of monsters are the last
ones I expect to go down easily,
**[18:50] Gin**
but the Harusame would never
ignore them and retreat.
**[18:56] Gin**
I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[19:00] Kag**
Lower your fists, both of you.
**[19:03] Kag**
It's still not too late.
**[19:06] Kag**
We can still go back.
**[19:09] Umi**
Kagura.
**[19:10] Kam**
No, it is too late.
**[19:18] Umi**
Kagura!
**[19:22] Kam**
Your family doesn't exist anymore!
**[19:26] Kam**
The older brother you knew
doesn't exist anymore!
**[19:30] Kam**
The father you know won't exist soon, either.
**[19:33] Kam**
I thank you, sister of mine.
**[19:36] Kam**
If his daughter dies in front of his eyes,
**[19:38] Kam**
that beast may awaken once more!
**[19:41] Umi**
Kamui!
**[19:47] Kag**
The kid sister you knew doesn't
exist anymore, either.
**[19:55] Kag**
You're the only one who
hasn't changed, Kamui.
**[20:00] Kag**
You haven't grown strong at all!
**[20:07] Kag**
You're the same sniveling guy
you were when Daddy left us.
**[20:11] Kag**
The same guy who put on a
brave face in front of Mommy.
**[20:16] Kag**
Nothing's changed at all.
**[20:19] Kag**
Mommy and everybody else left you behind,
**[20:24] Kag**
so you're sniveling and
putting on a brave face.
**[20:26] Kag**
You're the same old crybaby brother of mine.
**[20:34] Kag**
You stupid brother!
**[20:36] Kag**
I'm no longer the sister you knew, who
only shed tears with you by your side!
**[20:42] Kag**
I can now stand shoulder-to-shoulder,
fight, and shed blood with you!
**[20:50] Kag**
So...
**[20:52] Kag**
Come back to us, Kamui!
**[20:56] Kag**
It's not that baldy old man you should
be raising your fists against!
**[21:01] Kag**
You should be pointing them somewhere else!
**[21:07] Kag**
I'll fight with you, so...
**[21:12] Umi**
Stop...
**[21:16] Umi**
Stop it...
**[21:19] Umi**
That's enough.
**[21:20] Umi**
Please, just stop!
**[21:23] Abu**
Umibozu...
**[21:34] Abu**
Umibozu!
**[21:53] Kag**
Daddy!
**[22:00] Kag**
Daddy!
