[02:16] Hed     Let me tell you about my terrifying plan. [02:20] Hed     It involves... [02:22] Hed     not just flowers or plants. [02:24] Hed     I want to watch over the flower called     mankind that I found on this planet, too. [02:29] Hed     Basically, this planet was a flower     bed built to be trampled by me. [02:35] Hed     I want to bloom with you all as     one of this planet's flowers. [02:41] Gin     M-My hand's stuck! [02:44] Hed     And when the flowers reach full bloom,     this planet will be a garden of peace— [02:50] Hed     D-Did you break that seal?! [02:54] Hed     It's all over!

[03:34] Kag     I don't get it either, [03:34] Hed     It's futile, Hedoro. [03:36] Kag     but they look like they're having fun. [03:38] Kag     It's been a while since I've seen that     kind of look on these people's faces. [03:43] Kag     I guess nothing beats peace after all. [03:46] Shin     Yeah, you're right.

SIGN    Silver Soul Arc SIGN    Peace and Destruction     Are Two Sides of the Same Coin [04:12] Oto     Never thought I'd see the     day when the Kabuki District [04:15] Oto     would be lit up not by neon lights,     but by moonlight and bonfires. [04:19] Jir     This town is noisy all year round. Nights     like these ain't so bad once in a while. [04:25] Jir     If we can see the town bathed in the     light of dawn next, it'll be perfect. [04:31] Jir     We did force them to retreat,     but it ain't like we won. [04:35] Jir     If the enemy force regroups and attacks     again, we'll be defeated in a flash. [04:40] Oto     I didn't think I'd ever hear     such meek words from you. [04:45] Oto     Living a long life has its benefits. [04:46] Jir     Did that sound meek to you? [04:48] Jir     I guess you've grown hard of hearing. [04:51] Oto     It's not such a bad thing. [04:54] Oto     The only ones who can complain and whine     are those who have people they can rely on. [05:00] Oto     You've finally grown up, Jirocho. [05:03] Jir     Pah! I'd much rather be called     a senile geezer than that! [05:08] Sai     What's this? You two used to     constantly be at odds, [05:12] Sai     but you seem to be enjoying     each other's company tonight. [05:18] Sai     Oh, am I interrupting? [05:20] Oto     Not at all, Saigo. I was just thinking     I'd like to share a drink with you, too. [05:28] Oto     I'm actually a bit thankful we're     in this situation, you know. [05:32] Oto     I feel like it has helped me     like people a little more. [05:38] Oto     If it's a night like this, maybe it wouldn't     be so bad if it turned out to be my last. [05:56] Jir     Nah. We haven't drank enough yet. [06:00] Kag     Everyone's so beat-up. [06:03] Shin     That's no surprise. [06:05] Shin     It's a miracle that we even     drove that huge army back. [06:10] Shin     It's not just the people     of the Kabuki District. [06:12] Shin     Everyone in Edo did everything they could, [06:15] Shin     as best they could. [06:17] Shin     That's probably why this miracle came about. [06:21] Shin     All you've been doing is getting in the way! [06:23] Ged     Pandemoniums are snacks that help     with injuries and illnesses. [06:28] Ged     Would you like one? [06:29] Shin     Seriously, who would eat     something so grotesque?! [06:32] Pan     Sorry. Am I being a nuisance after all? [06:35] Pan     I was so worried, I ended up coming along. [06:38] Pan     I guess I've become a     really troublesome woman. [06:40] Pan     Sorry. I'll go away now. [06:43] Shin     Yeah, you're a nuisance. [06:44] Shin     If you're going to disturb my heart     any further, just be with me forever! [06:48] Kag     You're the biggest nuisance here. [06:49] Tae     Shin-chan, Kagura-chan. [06:51] Tae     Forget about the straight man     routine and get some rest. [06:54] Kag     Boss lady. [06:55] Tae     Gedomaru-san and friends volunteered for     various tasks so that we could all rest. [07:02] Tae     They said they're not that tired yet, [07:04] Tae     and that they want more screen time since     they only showed up in the latter stages. [07:07] Shin     Don't leak out your real motive at the end! [07:09] Tae     Gedomaru-san and gang are tending     to the wounded and serving food. [07:12] Shin     They're going to turn us into food! [07:14] Tae     Seimei-san and Doman-san are guarding     and keeping watch on the town. [07:17] Sei     My watchmen are scarier! [07:19] Dom     What? My watchmen are scarier! [07:21] Shin     These watchmen need watchmen of their own! [07:23] Tae     Ketsuno Ana is providing assistance     via prayers and exorcism. [07:26] Ket     Tomorrow's weather will be nice and clear. [07:28] Ket     The perfect day for war. [07:29] Shin     Don't try to start a war! [07:31] Tae     If this is the time for everyone     to do what they're supposed to, [07:35] Tae     then what you guys must do right now is rest. [07:39] Tae     Forget about everything and get some sleep. [07:41] G     B-But I'm worried the enemy     might return at any time. [07:45] Tae     Relax. We're here for you,     so eat lots and sleep well. [07:49] Shin     Sis, they're not sleeping!     You finished them off! [07:52] Ged     Let's put them to sleep with that and     then stuff Pandemoniums in their mouths. [07:58] Tae     That sounds good, too. [07:59] Shin     Hey! Why are these hazards to     humanity feeding everyone?! [08:02] Shin     Can anybody bring food     that's actually edible?! [08:05] Pan     You finally spilled the beans. [08:07] Pan     In truth, I knew all along     how you felt about me. [08:11] Pan     So I'll confess, too. [08:14] Pan     I really wanted you to eat me. [08:17] Pan     Bye-bye. I love you. [08:19] Shin     Bring me every single Pandemonium     you've got, right this instant! [08:23] Kag     Shinpachi, you seriously     need to get some rest. [08:26] Kon     Really? I'll take you up on     that offer and rest, then. [08:31] Kon     I'm worn out from all the fighting. [08:35] Kon     I finally made it back... [08:38] Kon     Back to you. [08:40] Kon     I'm back, Otae-san. [08:45] Tae     W-Welcome back, Kondo-san. [08:49] Kon     Otae-san! [08:51] Tae     Kondo-san! [08:52] Tae     Who're you calling Otae?! [08:55] Kon     O-Otae-san? Y-You're being too intense! [08:58] Kon     N-No! We can't do this! [09:00] Shin     Let go of Pandemonium-san! [09:02] Tae     What's with that scene right out of hell? [09:04] Ged     It seems the Pandemonium's illusion     ability worked a bit too well on them. [09:07] Hij     What's all this? [09:09] Hij     He was saying he had a real chance,     with the world about to end and all, [09:13] Hij     but all of this is no different     than it has always been. [09:16] Oki     What are you saying, Hijikata-san? [09:19] Oki     This is what Kondo-san wanted. [09:23] Oki     The same old routine. [09:27] Tae     Just when the world is about to end,     you finally return home? [09:30] Tae     I see that cops will always be cops. [09:33] Hij     Unfortunately, saving the world isn't     in the police's job description. [09:36] Hij     But we have tons of other work to do. [09:38] Sac     Pretty much. [09:40] Sac     Don't know or care about the world, [09:43] Sac     but it looks like we did     at least protect our home. [09:48] Tae     Guys... [09:51] Tae     You did well. [09:53] Kag     Boss lady, you're talking to the wrong thing. [09:58] Oto     So basically, [09:59] Oto     the Liberation Army won't be     back for revenge immediately? SIGN    Kabuki District     Four Devas [10:03] Oto     You mean we'll be safe for a while? [10:06] Kon     They're isolated from     their main force in space. [10:09] Kon     They've lost both their comms     and their chain of command. [10:12] Kon     In this situation, it'll be difficult to     regroup a force that already crumbled once. SIGN    Shinsengumi [10:16] Hij     They were attacked by the bakufu army while     on the run, and now they're scattered. [10:20] Hij     They don't have it in them     to switch to attack. [10:22] Oki     If anything, this might     be our chance to attack. [10:26] Oki     If we can rob them of their provisions, [10:28] Oki     we can watch the enemy crumble     without having to fight. [10:31] Zen     You want us to make the first move? SIGN    Oniwaban [10:33] Zen     If we corner that huge force any more,     who knows how they'll respond? [10:39] Zen     Besides... [10:40] Zen     Those unconfirmed reports about another mercenary squad worry me, too. [10:44] Bim     This victory was practically a miracle, SIGN    Yagyuu Chinkage     School [10:48] Bim     and we had to pay a heavy price for it. [10:51] Bim     If we want more, we'll have to be     prepared to sacrifice a lot more, too. [10:59] Tsu     We didn't fight to win the war. [11:02] Tsu     We fought to stop it. SIGN    Yoshiwara Defense     Force Hyakka [11:04] Tsu     If we willingly cause more casualties, [11:07] Tsu     wouldn't it be the same as siding     with the Liberation Army? [11:10] Sei     Seizing an opportunity is akin to     grasping a log floating down a river. SIGN    Onmyoji     Ketsuno Clan & Shirino Clan [11:15] Sei     Being cautious is all well and good, [11:17] Sei     but this might be our last shot at victory. [11:22] Ket     Brother, are you saying we must fight? [11:25] Sei     I'm saying that stopping a war needs     more resolve than starting one. [11:29] Kon     Exactly. Let's fight. [11:31] Tsu     But you know... [11:35] Ged     How do you feel, Odd Jobs? [11:37] Ged     Which option do you think we should choose? SIGN    Odd Jobs [11:40] Kag     I say go with curry. [11:42] Shin     Nobody's asking about dinner, Kagura-chan. [11:46] Shin     Well, uh... [11:47] Shin     I don't understand the complicated stuff, [11:50] Shin     but I feel like if we're all together,     we can work something out either way. [11:54] Shin     I'm not afraid of anything. [11:57] Shin     I'm just so overwhelmed that all     of you are fighting alongside us. [12:02] Shin     I'm glad I was born in Edo, on Earth... [12:06] Shin     Oh, that's not what you     were asking about, was it? [12:09] Shin     Sorry. [12:11] Gin     That's not true. [12:13] Gin     Compared to the fact that so many people     have come together for one cause, [12:18] Gin     which method we choose     is but a trivial matter. [12:22] Gin     Then we could just [12:26] Gin     try launching HEVA. SIGN    All-Purpose Demonoid Final Battle Weapon SIGN    Hevandorogon [12:41] Gin     What do you think, everyone? [12:43] Gin     We're ready. [12:45] Gin     We squeezed out a high synchro     rate and are good to go whenever, [12:49] Gin     but we'd like Odd Jobs' opinion. [12:51] Shin     You're Odd Jobs, too. [12:53] Gin     Should we launch HEVA,     or should it be on standby? [12:58] Gin     How do you feel about HEVA? Do you like it? [13:00] Shin     Why have our options been     whittled down to HEVA alone? [13:03] Gin     What do you think, HEVA? [13:05] Gin     Hey, HEVA. [13:07] Gin     Um, Hedoro-san? [13:08] Hed     Who, me? Uh, I think it could work. [13:12] Shin     Um, it looks like even he     doesn't know about HEVA. [13:16] Hij     I think it's too early.     What about you, Kondo-san? [13:19] Kon     Well, yeah. I agree with you. [13:22] Sac     If he wants to go, just let him. [13:26] Tsu     Yes, I agree. [13:28] Hij     We'll leave it to you young'uns. [13:31] Oto     Do as you please, EVA. [13:33] G     Wasn't it HEVA, not EVA? [13:35] G     No, wasn't it NOVA? [13:37] G     What's HEVA, anyway? [13:41] Shin     Nobody knows?! [13:43] Gin     Oh, you didn't know? [13:45] Gin     I thought everyone knew. [13:47] Shin     Like hell they would!     You haven't explained a thing! [13:50] Gin     Can't you tell at a glance? [13:52] Gin     Aside from the Liberation Army thing, [13:54] Gin     the world was nearly ended seven times     by the Hedora inside Hedoro-san. [13:58] Gin     Isn't it obvious that it was all resolved     by them turning into HEVA in the end? [14:01] Shin     Not even an ESPer could get that! [14:03] Gin     Long story short, I realized that we have     no choice but to use this demon's power. [14:08] Gin     We turn humanity's greatest     threat into its greatest savior [14:11] Gin     and hit the Liberation Army with it. [14:13] Gin     That's the All-Purpose Demonoid     Final Battle Weapon, Hevandorogon. [14:17] Shin     What kind of preposterous     monster have you created?! [14:20] Gin     Don't worry. Through trial and error, [14:23] Gin     I found the perfect way to use both     the angel's and the demon's powers. [14:27] Gin     It can even play the straight man now. [14:29] Gin     Try playing the fool. [14:31] Shin     U-Uh, this is sudden.     I'm the straight man, anyway. [14:34] Hed     What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?! [14:39] Gin     If I use the right lever, like so, [14:41] Gin     the demon of destruction Hedora's     personality will come to the forefront. [14:45] Gin     He's mainly in charge of jabs and     opening stuck lids on jars of jam. [14:49] Shin     What are you using that demonic power for?! [14:51] Shin     He was aiming his jabs at humanity!     He hasn't given up on destroying humanity! [14:55] Shin     Meanwhile, the left lever     is for cleaning up the mess. [14:58] Hed     Shinpachi-kun, I'm sorry     Hedora was violent with you. [15:02] Shin     H-Hedoro-san, thank you so... [15:04] Hed     Watch out! There's a ladybug! [15:07] Shin     Almost nothing's changed! [15:08] Shin     Looks like it was safe. Thank goodness. [15:12] Gin     I'll use the angel or demon, depending     on the situation, and protect humanity. [15:17] Gin     That's the gist of the Human     Instrumentality Project. [15:19] Shin     But I saw nothing but demon! [15:21] Shin     You sure this isn't the Ladybug     Instrumentality Project?! [15:24] Hed     What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?! [15:27] Shin     He returned my jab with a jab! [15:29] Gin     You spewed sorely mistaken nonsense.     In other words, you played the fool. [15:33] Gin     Better watch your mouth, or I'll     deem it a comedy act and jab at it. [15:37] Shin     This is bad! The demon's got     another demon riding on top! [15:39] Kon     Stop it, Odd Jobs! It's too dangerous! [15:42] Kon     That thing's throwing jabs not     at fools, but at humanity itself! [15:47] Kon     Eventually, its jabs will even hit you! [15:51] Gin     Even so, I have to keep throwing jabs [15:55] Gin     until the world drops this     unfunny joke about ending. [15:59] Kon     In that case, knock me out before you go! [16:04] Gin     You're in the way. Move. [16:05] Kon     What's wrong? Come on, give me a jab! [16:10] Gin     I can't. [16:12] Gin     Because you're not a human. [16:15] Gin     You're an ape. [16:17] Kon     Knock me out. [16:21] Kon     Come on, knock me out. [16:25] Kon     Please knock me out! [16:28] Hed     Watch out! There's a cockroach! [16:35] Shin     How do you even respond to this?! [16:41] Tae     Demon? More like a god. [16:44] Tae     And that god is telling you to get     some rest, for tonight at least. [16:49] Tae     So don't worry about it, Hedoro-san. [16:51] Tae     It's this moron's fault for toying     with someone like they were a robot. [16:55] Hed     I'm terribly sorry. [16:57] Hed     In my eyes, both Sakata-san and cockroaches     are equally my friends on Earth. [17:02] Tae     Jeez, cheer up! [17:05] Tae     This guy deserves to be treated     worse than a cockroach! [17:07] Hed     What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?! [17:10] Gin     He cheered up too much! [17:12] Gin     Quit messing with that branch under the     pretext of offering an olive branch! [17:15] Shin     But you really should get some rest. [17:18] Shin     The war will continue tomorrow     and thereafter, too. [17:20] Gin     Tell your sister that! [17:22] Shin     Thinking back, you've been     fighting constantly for ages. [17:27] Shin     You always fight until you're a mess. [17:29] Shin     In truth, you must be really worn out, right? [17:33] Gin     I could say the same about you guys. [17:36] Gin     I ran you two into the ground, after all. [17:40] Gin     For unpaid interns, you did great work. [17:43] Gin     You did well to keep up with such a lowlife. [17:48] Gin     But, maybe because you were     with such an unreliable adult, [17:52] Gin     you've both grown much stronger. [18:11] Tae     Looks like they've taken over the futon. [18:14] Tae     If they'd stayed up a little longer, they     could've heard some rare words of praise. [18:20] Gin     I guess they still have a ways to go. [18:22] Gin     And so do I. [18:29] Oki     Hijikata-san, just when will     we be able to rest? [18:33] Hij     If the world ends, we'll get     more sleep than we'd ever want. [18:36] Hij     Enjoy the street life while you still can. [18:39] Oki     The only things you can enjoy     in this pitch-dark world [18:42] Oki     are sleep and sex. [18:44] Oki     Did you know? [18:46] Oki     Every city that experiences a huge blackout     has higher birthrates the next year. [18:56] Hij     That's what I'm looking for. [18:58] Oki     Huh? Someone to sleep with? [18:59] Hij     Hell no! [19:01] Hij     The man who went beyond blackout and broke     every machine in Edo, Hiraga Gengai. [19:06] Hij     Without that virus cannon that stopped     the enemy fleet and severed their comms, [19:11] Hij     we wouldn't be here right now. [19:14] Hij     But as things stand, we can't link     up with the guys in space, either. SIGN    Sleep well and build up energy. [19:21] Hij     We'll have to get him to help     us communicate in some way. [19:25] G     Old man Gengai? Haven't seen him in a while. [19:28] G     I think he was nearly caught by a mercenary     squad, but managed to get away. [19:33] G     Dunno after that, though. [19:35] G     Gengai-san? Yeah, I ran away with him. [19:39] G     But partway, he said he had     to answer nature's call, [19:43] G     and then he didn't come back... [19:45] G     Huh? Gengai? [19:46] G     He was hiding in the shadows over     there and yelling for toilet paper. [19:57] Hij     Hear us out while you wipe. [20:00] Hij     We need a favor from you, Gengai. [20:06] Hij     Gengai? [20:09] Y     Gengai, was it? [20:11] Y     Surely you know why you're here. [20:14] Gen     Yeah. You want me to clean     up the mess I caused, right? [20:19] Gen     Even as your allies were taken out, [20:22] Gen     you sat back and watched, so where     is all this coming from now? [20:26] Y     We never intended on fighting     alongside complete idiots. [20:31] Y     Gengai, stop that nanomachine virus. [20:35] G     Bad news! Old man Gengai! [20:40] Hij     Gengai has fallen into enemy hands! [20:44] Tsu     Huh? You say something? [20:47] Hij     No. Nothing at all. [20:50] Mat     This is one unpleasant night. [20:54] Mat     It's so quiet, it's almost creepy. [20:58] Mat     I guess bonus stages never     last very long, huh? [21:05] Mat     I hope they're getting some     rest while they still can. [21:14] Soyo     You can't sleep either, [21:15] Soyo     Nobume-san? [21:18] Nob     I can't sleep well after getting     injured and being a burden. [21:22] Soyo     Sorry I caused you unnecessary concern. [21:24] Soyo     But don't worry about keeping watch. [21:26] Soyo     I have the bodyguard the     Odd Jobs left with me. [21:31] Soyo     Oh, it's fine. Let him sleep. [21:37] Soyo     Sorry, I don't know how to play     the straight man very well. [21:42] Soyo     Come to think of it, something     similar happened before, didn't it? [21:46] Soyo     I threw a tantrum, saying     I was too lonely to sleep, [21:50] Soyo     but I hadn't experienced truly     lonely nights back then. [21:56] Nob     We, the Hitotsubashi Faction, are the ones     who put you siblings through all this. [22:01] Nob     I really have no right to     be by your side like this.
