**[01:44] Ymz**
As you can see, Boss,
**[01:48] Ymz**
we haven't changed one bit.
**[01:51] Ymz**
We came back with our desire and
ambition to protect Edo still intact.
**[01:57] Ymz**
We're the same old Shinsengumi.
**[01:59] Gin**
But you alone are a completely
different person now!
**[02:01] Shin**
Yamazaki-san! What happened to you?
***SIGN*** Watch the Silver Soul Arc in a bright room
and at a safe distance from your TV!!
**[02:04] Shin**
Why do you look like you just
got back from the Vietnam War?!
**[02:07] Ymz**
Huh? Do I look that different?
**[02:10] Shin**
"Look"? You *are* different!
**[02:11] G**
Way to go, Zakiyama-san!
**[02:14] G**
The vice chief and Okita-san couldn't
handle it, but you took it out in one shot!
**[02:17] G**
As long as we have you, the
Liberation Army is no match for us!
**[02:20] G**
Zakiyama! Zakiyama!
**[02:24] Gin**
Hey, even their power structure
has changed a little!
**[02:27] Gin**
That plain guy's become
the nucleus of the squad!
**[02:30] Kon**
I quit mosaics.
**[02:32] Hij**
I quit smoking.
**[02:34] Oki**
I quit quitting messing with Hijikata.
**[02:38] Ymz**
I quit Yamazaki.
**[02:40] Gin**
Why'd he alone grow far
beyond his potential?!
**[02:43] G**
Zakiyama! Zakiyama!
**[02:43] Ymz**
I don't really get it myself,
**[02:45] Ymz**
but if I had to say, I guess
I liberated myself, too.
**[02:50] Ymz**
I tried to be like the chief, who realized
his weakness and trained with restraints.
**[02:56] Ymz**
But I was even weaker, so I
couldn't handle the weight.
**[03:00] Ymz**
One day, I noticed that my body felt heavy,
even though I wasn't carrying anything.
**[03:08] Ymz**
And that I may have been shackled
by restraints all along.
**[03:14] Ymz**
So...
**[03:15] Ymz**
I threw off the restraints,
and this is the result.
**[03:17] Gin**
Restraints? That's your body!
**[03:20] Gin**
What's going on here?
**[03:21] Gin**
Zakiyama came out of Yamazaki's ass?
No, Yamazaki came out of Zakiyama's ass?
**[03:24] Gin**
What the hell are you? What the hell is he?!
**[03:27] Ymz**
That's something like the
heavy T-shirt Goku took off.
**[03:31] Ymz**
It seems I was born wearing a heavy
T-shirt called Yamazaki Sagaru.
**[03:35] Gin**
Did you really just compare
him to an object?!
**[03:38] Ymz**
Once I threw it off, my body
felt lighter than ever before.
**[03:42] Ymz**
Sometimes, it's so light, I feel like I
might drift all the way to the heavens.
**[03:45] Gin**
You shouldn't throw it away!
It's probably your soul or something!
**[03:48] Kon**
How impressive.
**[03:50] Kon**
Even you reached the blank state of
mind where you cast even yourself away?
**[03:55] Ymz**
Chief, don't tell me... You too?
**[03:58] Kon**
Hey, who are you talking to?
**[04:02] Kon**
The chief is over here.
**[04:03] Shin**
Forget blank state of mind!
There's no sign of the chief anymore!
**[04:07] Shin**
Why'd he turn into a gorilla
just by taking off a T-shirt?
**[04:09] Shin**
He looks like gorilla dung now!
**[04:11] Kon**
It seems I was a gorilla born
wearing a heavy gorilla T-shirt.
**[04:16] Kon**
Now I've finally been freed from the gorilla.
**[04:19] Shin**
No, you haven't! You've become a
more concentrated version of gorilla!
**[04:23] Kon**
New enemies?
**[04:24] Kon**
Let's go, Yamazaki! Let's show them
what we can do without T-shirts!
**[04:28] Ymz**
Yeah!
**[04:29] Shin**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[04:30] Shin**
The T-shirts got tangled up!
**[04:32] Shin**
The T-shirts got caught!
**[04:35] Shin**
The T-shirt's crying!
**[04:37] Shin**
Hey, timeout! If you're gonna take
them off, take them off right!
**[04:40] Shin**
You're gonna rip the T-shirts!
**[04:42] Bo**
Untangle it, please!
**[04:44] Oki**
Like this?
**[04:45] Shin**
Not that way!
**[04:46] Hij**
Like this.
**[04:48] Shin**
You're not even trying!
**[04:49] Shin**
Are you pissed off at them?
Are you pissed at them after all?
**[04:52] Shin**
Hey! Both the gorilla and Rambo collapsed!
**[04:55] Gin**
I knew it! Those T-shirts weren't
supposed to be cast off!
**[04:57] Gin**
Hurry up and put them back on!
**[05:01] Shin**
The explosion blew the gorilla T-shirt away!
**[05:03] Gin**
If we lose it, the gorilla's
going straight to heaven!
**[05:06] Oki**
Don't worry. For now,
I dressed the gorilla again...
**[05:10] Oki**
in an Ahodas T-shirt.
**[05:13] Kon**
Let's go! The match isn't over yet!
**[05:15] Kon**
Shoot for tomorrow!
**[05:17] Gin**
Hey! Ahodas took over his body!
**[05:20] Shin**
Why is a T-shirt that calls him
an idiot dictating his personality?
**[05:22] G**
Well, this is better than before! Follow him!
**[05:24] G**
Aim for the goal!
**[05:25] Shin**
Goal? Where is that?!
**[05:26] Gin**
What the hell did you tax
thieves come back for?
**[05:29] Hij**
Shut it! We haven't gotten any pay in ages!
**[05:32] Hij**
We're trying to save the world
for free! Cut us some slack here!
**[05:36] Gin**
If this is all you've got,
the world is doomed for sure!
**[05:38] Oki**
There, there. Relax a bit, Hijikata-san.
**[05:41] Oki**
Here you go.
**[05:42] Hij**
Cheers.
**[05:44] Hij**
Wait, why're you ruining my attempt to quit?!
**[05:46] Kag**
You don't get to live longer when
Earth's heading for destruction!
**[05:50] Oki**
She's right.
**[05:51] Oki**
If we're all bound for destruction,
your lungs should be the first to go.
**[05:55] Hij**
Why does all responsibility
rest on my lungs?!
**[05:57] Shin**
Hey! Yamazaki-san's speeding ahead
toward destruction by himself!
**[06:01] Gin**
Y'know, if you hadn't left Edo wide open,
this would never have happened!
**[06:04] Hij**
You guys were the ones who neglected
it! You got the world destroyed!
**[06:08] Gin**
Screw you! Half the blame lies with you guys!
**[06:10] Gin**
The other half lies with your lungs!
**[06:11] Hij**
In the end, it's all my fault?!
**[06:15] Hij**
Hey, what's so funny?
**[06:17] Hij**
Do you realize the situation we're in?
**[06:19] Ttsnsk**
I do, Vice Chief!
**[06:22] Ttsnsk**
The terminal was broken
and the town destroyed,
**[06:25] Ttsnsk**
but this town came out
of it without a scratch!
**[06:29] Ttsnsk**
The Edo we fell in love with is right here!
**[06:36] Capt**
The old bakufu army?
**[06:38] Capt**
After all that's happened, they still
want to die with their country?
**[06:42] Capt**
All ships, lock and load!
**[06:48] Capt**
Fire!
**[06:56] Capt**
Wh-What's going on?
**[06:57] G**
The muzzles exploded as soon as we fired!
**[07:00] Capt**
What's this black haze?
**[07:03] Mats**
Flame Haze.
**[07:05] Mats**
A smokescreen that reacts to high
temperatures and prevents use of all firearms.
**[07:10] Mats**
I see.
**[07:12] Mats**
This isn't only the land of the samurai.
**[07:15] Mats**
It also belongs to you guys, huh?
**[07:20] Sac**
The civilians have been evacuated.
**[07:23] Sac**
The town's completely empty now.
**[07:26] Sac**
Everything's ready,
**[07:28] Sac**
Leader.
**[07:31] Zen**
Now we're free to go wild.
**[07:34] Zen**
As ninja, our duty is to live in the shadows.
**[07:37] Zen**
But we don't need to anymore,
now that we've lost our lord, the light.
**[07:43] Zen**
Show off the skills you've honed
all you want in broad daylight.
**[07:48] Zen**
Etch into their memories the fact that
this country is also home to ninja.
**[07:53] Zen**
Not in the shadows, but under
the light that shines upon you.
**[07:58] Zen**
Live and die to the fullest.
**[08:03] Sac**
Is that the answer you've found?
**[08:07] Zen**
There's no right answer.
**[08:10] Zen**
But if, just as I tried to protect
the princess as Shigeshige's buddy,
**[08:14] Zen**
she's trying to fight as Shigeshige's sister,
**[08:18] Zen**
then I have no right to stop her.
**[08:22] Zen**
In that case,
**[08:25] Zen**
all I can do is protect everything.
**[08:30] Zen**
That's the light that
shines upon me right now.
**[08:39] Zen**
The Oniwaban are joining the fray!
**[08:44] En**
Give me a status report.
**[08:46] G**
* The old bakufu army suddenly*
* showed up at Edo Castle*
**[08:50] G**
*and dealt a critical blow to our first wave.*
**[08:58] Kon**
Charge!
**[09:11] Hij**
The Oniwaban?
**[09:13] Kag**
Sacchan!
**[09:15] Gin**
Looks like they've finally
stepped out of the shadows.
**[09:18] Sac**
Playtime's over!
**[09:19] Sac**
I'll show you what a ninja can do!
**[09:22] Sac**
Here I come...
**[09:24] Sac**
Gin-san!
**[09:24] Gin**
Why Gin-san?!
**[09:26] Gin**
Why are you jumping at me with that face?
**[09:29] Gin**
You looked more like an
enemy than the enemy does!
**[09:31] Sac**
How cruel.
**[09:32] Sac**
We haven't met in so long,
and you shame me like this?
**[09:35] Sac**
Your abuse really is a cut above.
**[09:38] Sac**
I'm your sow for life, Master!
**[09:41] Gin**
This deviant is too much
to deal with after so long.
**[09:43] Gin**
I forgot how to defend against this,
so it's landing body blows. I'm gonna puke!
**[09:47] Sac**
But I believed in you.
**[09:49] Sac**
I knew you'd come back.
**[09:51] Sac**
I did my best, you know?
**[09:53] Sac**
I was sure things would work out
if we held on until you returned.
**[09:58] Gin**
Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[09:59] Sac**
You don't have to apologize.
**[10:01] Sac**
You've come back so big and sturdy.
**[10:04] Sac**
But I don't know about this size.
I might not be able to handle it.
**[10:08] Gin**
That ain't Gin-san.
**[10:10] Gin**
Gin-san ain't that much of a showoff.
**[10:16] Zen**
I didn't think I'd see that stupid shtick
again before the world was destroyed.
**[10:22] Gin**
I didn't think your asshole would be
destroyed before the world, either.
**[10:27] Sac**
No! Gin-san's chastity!
**[10:30] Gin**
That's Zen-san's chastity, not Gin-san's.
**[10:34] Zen**
I'm not so optimistic as to have thought
things would change once you returned.
**[10:40] Zen**
But looking at your stupid face
**[10:44] Zen**
certainly did help me relax a little.
**[10:47] Gin**
That's what I'd like to say.
**[10:50] Gin**
Seeing you guys reminded me...
**[10:54] Gin**
That even if the world
were ending the next day,
**[10:57] Gin**
we're the kind of morons who'd
rush to buy Jump like usual.
**[11:01] Gin**
That it doesn't matter if the world ends
or not, or whether I reach him or not.
**[11:06] Gin**
That I was the kind of person
who'd run at full speed anyway.
**[11:10] Gin**
For a moment there, I was ready
to end things for myself.
**[11:14] Gin**
But you guys showed me
the way back here again.
**[11:19] Gin**
Thank you for waiting for me
as the same old morons.
**[11:26] Oki**
How rude.
**[11:27] Oki**
Hijikata-san sucked his abstinence pipe
until he could suck on it like a pacifier,
**[11:31] Oki**
and you call him the same old moron?
**[11:33] Hij**
Shut up.
**[11:33] Hij**
That's not me. I prefer Magazine.
**[11:37] Zen**
If this keeps up, we won't be
able to buy Jump or Magazine.
**[11:40] Gin**
In that case...
**[11:43] Gin**
We just need to save the world by Monday!
**[11:48] Kon**
That's some big talk.
**[11:50] Kon**
You wanna stop the world's end
over the weekend?
**[11:54] Kon**
Let's do it, then.
**[11:56] Kon**
We'll turn that lame joke
into reality by our hands
**[11:59] Kon**
and laugh until our sides hurt!
**[12:03] Kon**
What say you,
**[12:05] Kon**
Mimawarigumi Vice Chief?
**[12:08] Kon**
I can't wait to see how your grumpy
face looks when the time comes.
**[12:13] Nob**
I'll laugh all you want.
**[12:17] Nob**
But it looks like those
laughs won't come cheap.
**[12:26] En**
A black haze? That won't be
enough to erase our fire.
**[12:32] En**
The more you struggle, the more
sorrow and wrath it causes,
**[12:37] En**
and the more it stokes our flame of revenge.
**[12:41] En**
Mobile Weapon
**[12:44] En**
Takemikazuchi...
**[12:48] En**
Launch.
**[12:55] En**
Launch.
**[13:06] Zen**
Yikes.
**[13:08] Zen**
This is bad.
**[13:10] Zen**
They're trying to burn away
the flame haze from above.
**[13:15] G**
Chief!
**[13:16] G**
It's not just from the air.
**[13:18] G**
Reinforcements are streaming
in on the surface, too.
**[13:24] G**
No, that's not all!
**[13:27] G**
Could they be...
**[13:29] G**
The Dakini!
**[13:32] G**
The Shinra!
**[13:34] G**
The Yato!
**[13:36] Kon**
The three great warrior races are here?
**[13:38] Kon**
They've even got them on their side?
**[13:41] Hij**
We've only been fighting
the opening act so far?
**[13:45] Oki**
Sheesh. Forget the weekend,
we might not even last the day.
**[13:50] Gen**
*At last, huh?*
**[13:54] Shin**
Gengai-san!
**[13:56] Gen**
*Looks like it's our time to shine.*
**[13:58] Gen**
* If that's the enemy's game, we'll just*
* have to go all-out ourselves, too.*
**[14:04] Gen**
Let's show them what Earth
is truly capable of.
**[14:08] Gin**
Gramps...
**[14:11] Kin**
We're first up, huh?
**[14:14] Kin**
Oh, well.
**[14:16] Kin**
If silver's not up to the task,
**[14:19] Kin**
gold will have to pick up the slack.
**[14:23] Kin**
From cleaning up after a
moron to saving the world,
**[14:25] Kin**
Odd Jobs Kin-chan will do anything.
**[14:28] Shin**
Kin-san!
**[14:30] Gin**
You!
**[14:31] Kin**
Hey, defective protag.
**[14:35] Kin**
The man I was modeled after is
having trouble saving the world?
**[14:40] Kin**
I'll take care of half the world.
**[14:44] Kin**
* Even a defective piece like you can*
* handle the other half, I'm sure.*
**[14:50] Tama**
He never learns, does he?
**[14:53] Tama**
Silver or gold, each of us is but a cog.
**[14:59] Tama**
But if all of us cogs come together,
we could turn the machine of the world.
**[15:05] Gen**
As of now, Kabuki District is the
cornerstone of humanity's defense.
**[15:12] Gen**
The rest...
**[15:13] Oto**
Yeah, you can leave it in our hands.
**[15:15] Gin**
*Gramps! Tama!*
**[15:17] Gin**
*What are you thinking?!*
**[15:20] Gin**
*Gramps!*
**[15:25] (Flashback) Sab**
What's the point of making
these killing machines?
**[15:28] (Flashback) Sab**
Didn't you always say you wanted to
make machines that served mankind?
**[15:34] (Flashback) Sab**
I loved watching you as you had fun
tinkering with things while covered in grease.
**[15:43] Gen**
*And so, you joined the war instead of me*
**[15:47] Gen**
*and died, leaving this geezer behind.*
**[15:52] Gen**
*A lot has happened since then.*
**[15:54] Gen**
* I met all kinds of people and*
* had all kinds of thoughts.*
**[15:58] Gen**
*Thoughts like why I survived,*
**[16:01] Gen**
*and why I build machines.*
**[16:05] Gen**
*The answer...*
**[16:12] Gen**
You and the people you brought
into my life showed me.
**[16:17] Gen**
The reason I built machines
was all for this moment.
**[16:23] G**
Wh-What is that massive cannon?!
**[16:28] Gen**
Machines exist to serve and help people.
**[16:34] Gen**
This is my answer...
**[16:37] Gen**
The Neo Armstrong Cyclone
Jet Armstrong Gengai Cannon!
**[16:42] Shin**
It's just a dirty joke!
**[16:44] Shin**
Earth grew a pen*s!
**[16:50] Gen**
It's too late.
**[16:53] Gen**
Right from the time we lost to you in
the Joi War, all the way up to now,
**[16:59] Gen**
I was secretly building
this thing underground.
**[17:04] Gen**
Tama, Kinnoji. Will you do it?
**[17:08] Gen**
I need your help to power that thing up.
**[17:13] Gen**
When gold and robot queen connect to the two
control spheres and become crown je*els,
**[17:19] Gen**
they can launch something
from this pole here.
**[17:21] Shin**
It's just a dirty joke!
**[17:23] Tama**
We've already steeled ourselves, Gengai-sama.
**[17:28] Kin**
Don't waste this golden cog,
**[17:33] Kin**
gramps.
**[17:36] Gen**
Thank you.
**[17:39] Gen**
Back then, we didn't lose to you guys.
**[17:44] Gen**
We lost to your science and
technology—your machines.
**[17:48] Gen**
But we absorbed your technology and evolved.
**[17:54] Gen**
In order to never have the things we
hold dear taken from us again,
**[17:57] Gen**
we kept turning the cogs each and every day.
**[18:00] Gen**
Amanto, I owe you for back then.
**[18:03] Gen**
I'll repay you now.
**[18:08] Gen**
Along with the scrap
metal I fell in love with.
**[18:31] Gen**
Machines all over Edo!
**[18:35] Gen**
Let me borrow your cogs!
**[18:38] Gen**
Show them what you're made of!
**[18:45] Gen**
Go!
**[19:08] G**
Wha...
**[19:09] G**
What's this? Nothing happened...
**[19:24] (Flashback) Tama**
Then,
**[19:26] (Flashback) Tama**
the machine that will put
a stop to the war is...
**[19:29] (Flashback) Gen**
Yeah, it's not that big lug.
**[19:32] (Flashback) Gen**
It's these tiny ones.
**[19:34] (Flashback) Gen**
They're what are called nanomachines.
**[19:38] (Flashback) Gen**
I've named them bees.
**[19:42] (Flashback) Gen**
If launched through this thing,
the bees will stay in the air
**[19:46] (Flashback) Gen**
and infiltrate any machines.
**[19:48] (Flashback) Gen**
And their virus will take
over all the targets' systems
**[19:54] (Flashback) Gen**
and halt their functions.
**[19:58] (Flashback) Gen**
In other words...
**[20:01] (Flashback) Gen**
they're machines that kill machines.
**[20:04] (Flashback) Gen**
But it'd be pointless to stop the
Liberation Army for a moment.
**[20:09] (Flashback) Gen**
If we're using these, it must be to make
a barrier that covers the whole country.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Gen**
Basically, if humanity is to survive,
we must abandon you guys.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Gen**
Besides, the important
thing to remember is...
**[20:22] (Flashback) Kin**
...when the cannon is frozen,
**[20:25] (Flashback) Kin**
you'll need machines to take
over from the system, right?
**[20:31] (Flashback) Kin**
Who else could do that but us?
**[20:34] (Flashback) Gen**
Kinnoji...
**[20:35] (Flashback) Gen**
Do you realize what you're saying?
**[20:37] (Flashback) Gen**
This is an absurd role that
involves killing yourself!
**[20:42] (Flashback) Kin**
But the world will end
unless we do this, right?
**[20:45] (Flashback) Kin**
Besides, I won't be fighting
the Liberation Army.
**[20:52] (Flashback) Kin**
It'll be that man.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Kin**
The time has finally come to
pay him back for back then.
**[20:59] (Flashback) Kin**
If he's trying to save the
