***SIGN*** [What Ito truly sought was the ties with other people that he had severed...]
***SIGN*** [The Shinsengumi Crisis Arc comes to its conclusion!]
**[01:42] Bansai Kawakami**
I told you that your arms
and legs will rip off.
**[01:45] Gintoki**
Who'd want to go and save
their sorry asses?
**[01:52] ---**
I can't stop. My body won't listen to me.
**[01:56] ---**
It's being pulled forward...Strings are pulling
me from the front and the back.
**[02:03] ---**
It annoys me to no end...
**[02:10] Bansai Kawakami**
These strings are as strong
as steel, but still...
**[02:13] Gintoki**
You can have an arm and a leg or two.
**[02:17] ---**
Even if these strings can cut flesh...
**[02:20] ---**
I'd like to see them try to sever
an obnoxious bond!
**[02:34] Hijikata**
Get down!
**[03:04] Hijikata**
Ito!
**[03:04] Kondo**
Sensei!
**[03:14] Hijikata**
Ito!
***SIGN*** ["It's All About the Beat and Timing"]
**[03:30] Shinpachi**
Gin-san!
**[03:34] Pilot**
Bansai-sama... In front!
**[03:44] Kawakami**
White Knight! What is it you fight for?
**[03:48] ---**
What is it you risk your life for?!
**[03:51] Kawakami**
The destruction of the samurai's
world is already inevitable.
**[03:53] Kawakami**
Even if Shinsuke does not soil his
hands, this country will rot away!
**[03:57] Kawakami**
Your struggles alone will not stop it!
**[04:00] Kawakami**
There's no longer anything worth
saving of this country!
**[04:02] Kawakami**
It's the samurai's duty to graciously give
**[04:04] Kawakami**
this rotting country which has been completely
ravaged by the Amanto it's final rites!
**[04:08] Kawakami**
This country must slit its belly!
**[04:10] Gintoki**
If you want to die, then go ahead
and kill yourself with the coals!
***SIGN*** [Note: Coal briquettes are often used for suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.]
**[04:14] Kawakami**
Gintoki Sakata...you are a ghost.
**[04:18] Kawakami**
You once tried to protect this country
along with Shinsuke and the others.
**[04:24] Kawakami**
You are obsessed and unable to
let go. You are a living ghost.
**[04:32] Kawakami**
There is no longer anything
for you to protect!
**[04:36] Kawakami**
Ghosts should go back
where they belong.
**[04:48] Kawakami**
I'll play you a requiem!
**[04:56] Kawakami**
The strings...!
**[05:01] Gintoki**
Hey, bud!
**[05:03] Gintoki**
Take off those headphones, dammit!
**[05:07] Kawakami**
When did he grab my strings?
**[05:09] ---**
What're your waiting for? Fire!
**[05:14] Gintoki**
Clean out your ears and listen up!
**[05:17] Gintoki**
I've never once fought for the
sake of this cheap country.
**[05:22] Gintoki**
I couldn't care less...
**[05:24] Gintoki**
if the country or samurai
fell. I have always...
**[05:30] Gintoki**
Then, and now...
**[05:32] Gintoki**
What I protect...
**[05:37] Gintoki**
has never changed!
**[05:53] Antiforeigner Ronin A**
Bansai-sama!
**[06:00] Ito**
What're you doing?
**[06:04] Ito**
Get your heads out of your asses!
**[06:08] Ito**
Vice-Chief...
**[06:10] Ito**
...your orders...
**[06:16] Hijikata**
This is to all of you! I've taken their leader's head!
**[06:21] Hijikata**
The enemy is nothing more
than a flock of lost sheep!
**[06:24] Hijikata**
Finish them off all at once!
**[06:46] Antiforeigner Ronin F**
Tsk, retreat!
**[06:51] Hijikata**
Don't let them get away! Kill them all!
**[07:06] Shinpachi**
Why...why did you do that?
**[07:11] Shinpachi**
You committed treason.
Why did you protect us?
**[07:16] Ito**
You're...not Shinsengumi...
**[07:21] Ito**
but you seem to be tied to them in
a way that words cannot describe.
**[07:28] Ito**
You're neither friends,
nor are you enemies.
**[07:33] Shinpachi**
...we're obnoxious bonds.
**[07:35] Ito**
Hmph, I suppose there
are ties like that...
**[07:40] ---**
I didn't know. Or rather, I
didn't try to understand.
**[07:46] Ito**
Despite hoping to create ties with people,
I severed them on my side.
**[07:53] Ito**
I lost sight of what I really wanted because
I tried to protect a tiny bit of pride.
**[08:02] Ito**
Even when I finally found the ties
that were important to me,
**[08:05] Ito**
I destroyed them on my side.
**[08:10] Ito**
Why...
**[08:13] Ito**
Why is it always too late when
you finally realize that?
**[08:20] Ito**
Why is that I want to fight with everyone
but I can't even stand?
**[08:25] Ito**
Why is that I want to wield my
sword, but I have no arm?
**[08:30] Ito**
Why is it that...I finally truly realized
that...but I'm going to die...?
**[08:39] Ito**
I don't want to die. If I die, I'll be
alone...no ties would reach me...
**[08:49] Ito**
I don't want to be alone anymore...
**[08:54] Harada**
We'd like you to...
**[08:56] Harada**
hand him over to us.
**[08:59] Shinpachi**
...Please. He's gone through enough.
**[09:03] Harada**
Odd Jobs... We owe you
for your help this time.
**[09:07] Harada**
But we cannot heed your request.
**[09:10] Harada**
How many people do you think
lost their lives because of him?
**[09:13] Harada**
We must deal with the traitor ourselves.
**[09:17] Shinpachi**
He saved us! And he...
**[09:21] Shinpachi**
Kondo-san!
**[09:22] Kondo**
Take him.
**[09:25] Shinpachi**
Why?!
**[09:30] Shinpachi**
Kondo-san, why...?
**[09:34] Shinpachi**
Kondo-san...
**[09:44] Gintoki**
That's right...he'd die anyway
even if they left him alone.
**[09:50] Gintoki**
That's exactly why...
**[09:54] Gintoki**
That's exactly why they must kill him.
**[10:12] Hijikata**
Get up...Ito.
**[10:19] Hijikata**
What do you say we settle this?
**[10:22] Gintoki**
They...don't want him to die
a filthy traitor's death.
**[10:30] Gintoki**
They want him to end his
life...as a samurai...
**[10:43] Gintoki**
...and a fellow comrade.
**[10:45] Gintoki**
That's the death he deserves.
**[11:04] Ito**
Hijikata!
**[11:06] Hijikata**
Ito!
**[11:56] Ito**
...ank...you...
**[12:05] Ito**
Thank...you...
**[12:44] Takasugi**
I see. Ito died and the
Shinsengumi survived.
**[12:49] Takasugi**
So the Bakufu is unexpectedly
alive and well.
**[12:54] Takasugi**
No, perhaps Ito was weak...or...
**[12:58] Takasugi**
Was it you who was weak, Bansai?
**[13:03] Kawakami**
The original intent of this job
**[13:06] Kawakami**
was to draw away the Shinsengumi's
attention from the Bakufu bigwigs.
**[13:10] Kawakami**
If the Harusame successfully
made their secret voyage
**[13:12] Kawakami**
and a secret agreement was reached with the Bakufu
bigwigs, there's no need for a battle.
**[13:17] Kawakami**
We would have succeeded
in warding them off.
**[13:20] Takasugi**
I thought I told you to handle this with
the intent of crushing the Shinsengumi.
**[13:24] Kawakami**
As in all things, it's all about
the beat and the timing.
**[13:28] Kawakami**
Without both, nothing will go well.
**[13:31] Kawakami**
If I can't get into it, I back out
immediately. That's how I do things.
**[13:35] Takasugi**
Bansai.
**[13:37] Takasugi**
You can't get attuned my song?
**[13:40] Kawakami**
The White Knight said, "What
I protect has never changed."
**[13:47] Kawakami**
Shinsuke...any idea what
he was talking about?
**[13:52] Kawakami**
It made me feel like asking
him until I find out.
**[14:05] Kawakami**
I've fallen in love with
their song. I've lost.
**[14:45] Yamazaki (M)**
...This is bad...
**[14:47] Yamazaki (M)**
Really bad. They totally think I'm dead.
**[14:51] Yamazaki (M)**
I never dreamed they would
hold a funeral so soon.
**[14:54] Yamazaki (M)**
I'm totally too late. I blew the timing.
**[15:03] Kawakami**
...I've changed my mind.
**[15:07] Kawakami**
I want to hear...a bit more of your song.
**[15:13] Kawakami**
Live on, I look forward to the day when
you'll let me here the rest of it.
**[15:19] Yamazaki (M)**
And so that's how it went.
**[15:21] Yamazaki (M)**
No one expected that I would
miraculously still be alive.
**[15:25] Yamazaki (M)**
This is bad.
**[15:27] Yamazaki (M)**
Not only was I spared because
of the enemy's compassion,
**[15:29] Yamazaki (M)**
but if they found out I spent all this time
in the hospital without contacting them...
**[15:32] Yamazaki (M)**
And the timing couldn't be worse.
**[15:35] Yamazaki**
"Sorry, I'm alive, after all."
**[15:37] Yamazaki (M)**
If I showed up like that, they'd
discipline me...for sure.
**[15:40] Yamazaki (M)**
I'm in big trouble. What'll I do?!
**[15:43] Yamazaki (M)**
Maybe I should die. At this point, things
would be easier if I were dead.
**[15:45] Matsudaira**
You fool! Leaving this life before
an old man! You....you...you...!
**[15:50] Yamazaki (M)**
Stop it! Don't make it any worse!
**[15:53] Yamazaki (M)**
You're making it harder and
harder for me to show myself.
**[15:55] Matsudaira**
You know I...thought of
you...like a real son...
**[16:00] Yamazaki**
I didn't know...
**[16:01] Yamazak (M)I**
...Pops...that you thought
so highly of me...
**[16:04] Matsudaira**
Pusuke! Don't leave me behind!
**[16:08] Yamazaki (M)**
Why am I alongside a dog?!
**[16:11] Yamazaki (M)**
Or rather...this funeral is
totally about the dog!
**[16:15] Yamazaki (M)**
It's like, "we may as well include
Yamazaki while we're at it!"
**[16:18] Yamazaki (M)**
Regardless of how unremarkable
I may have been, this is too cruel!
**[16:21] Yamazaki (M)**
Why is there a can of Nilo
there as an offering?!
***SIGN*** [Note: Parody of Milo, the Nestle chocolate drink.]
**[16:26] Yamazaki (M)**
Hey Priest! Why're you
sipping on my Nilo?!
**[16:30] Yamazaki (M)**
Not that I really cared for it
or anything, but cut it out!
**[16:32] Yamazaki (M)**
You're making me angry.
**[16:33] Yamazaki (M)**
Hey! Turn off that cell phone.
**[16:35] Squadmember B**
Huh? I'm at the funeral for
Boss Matsudaira's dog.
**[16:39] Yamazaki (M)**
Tell them it's my funeral.
**[16:41] Squadmember C**
Oww...
**[16:42] Squadmember C**
My leg fell asleep.
**[16:44] Yamazaki (M)**
Put away the JUMP, dammit.
**[16:46] Yamazaki (M)**
Doesn't a human life mean
anything to you?
**[16:49] Yamazaki (M)**
How could they! They're like an
undisciplined gang of hoodlums.
**[16:52] Yamazaki (M)**
The Vice-Chief...isn't the
Vice-Chief back yet?
**[16:54] Squadmember D**
What's with this? Haven't they
lifted Vice-Chief's punishment?
**[16:58] Squadmember D**
Without his leadership, the Shinsengumi
wouldn't exist today.
**[17:02] Squadmember E**
Seems he feels personally
responsible this time.
**[17:06] Squadmember E**
I heard he personally asked for
the suspension to be extended.
**[17:10] Squadmember F**
Come to think of it, he acted
strangely back then too.
**[17:13] Squadmember G**
You think he won't come back
to the Shinsengumi?
**[17:17] Squadmember H**
After what happened,
**[17:19] Squadmember H**
we may not be able to return to the
Shinsengumi we were before.
**[17:25] Female Clerk**
Thank you for waiting.
**[17:28] Hijikata**
I visited every temple
and shrine in the city
**[17:30] Hijikata**
and had them do every incantation
and prayer they knew.
**[17:33] Hijikata**
But in the end, this never left my side.
**[17:37] Hijikata**
Seems this thing's curse...is deeply
ingrained in my very being.
**[17:42] Hijikata**
No telling when this will
consume me again.
**[17:46] Shinpachi**
Does that mean you won't return
to the Shinsengumi?
**[17:48] Kagura**
You should think about changing jobs.
**[17:51] Kagura**
Maybe you should join Animate.
***SIGN*** [Note: Animate is a chain that sells everything related to animation.]
**[17:53] Gintoki**
Sounds good to me.
**[17:56] Gintoki**
A demonic sword that never
leaves your side.
**[17:59] Gintoki**
You are truly one with your sword.
It's the perfect sword for you.
**[18:05] Hijikata**
You are the soul of the Shinsengumi.
**[18:08] Hijikata**
We are the sword that protects you.
**[18:15] Hijikata**
You say that so casually.
**[18:19] Hijikata**
Thanks for you help.
**[18:21] Shinpachi**
Hijikata-san, where are you going?
**[18:22] Hijikata**
Isn't it obvious?
**[18:25] Hijikata**
My body has more angry spirits and curses
on it than it can accommodate.
**[18:29] Hijikata**
It's full of all the people I've stepped
over and the enmity of my comrades.
**[18:35] Hijikata**
What's another curse or two gonna do?
**[18:39] Hijikata**
I don't intend to look back
no matter who dies.
**[18:45] Hijikata**
I intend to shoulder every one
of them and move forward...
**[18:48] Hijikata**
so they won't laugh at me in Hell.
**[18:56] Shinpachi**
...Nice weather.
**[18:58] Kagura**
Oh.
**[18:59] Kagura**
We forgot to collect our fee.
**[19:01] Gintoki**
Forget it.
**[19:02] Gintoki**
It's better to collect a little at a
time rather than all at once.
**[19:07] Shinpachi**
Do you think he'll be okay, though?
**[19:09] Shinpachi**
Will he be able to continue working?
**[19:11] Gintoki**
He'll be fine.
**[19:13] Gintoki**
We don't have to worry any more.
**[19:18] Matsudaira**
Oh yeah, here we go!
**[19:32] Yamazaki (M)**
They don't give a shit!
What do they think a funeral is?!
**[19:36] Yamazaki (M)**
I'll show all of you!
You all should be punished!
**[19:40] Yamazaki (M)**
I'll scare the hell out of all of you and...
**[19:49] Squadmember C**
Yamazaki returned from the dead!
**[19:51] Hijikata**

Vice-Chief...
**[20:25] Squadmember E**
Vice-Chief!
**[20:26] Yamazaki**
Ouch.
**[20:27] ---**
Stop it.
**[20:28] Squadmember E**
Hooray! The Vice-Chief came back!
**[20:31] Hijikata**
What're you guys talking about?
**[20:33] Hijikata**
I said you all have to slit your bellies!
**[20:34] Squadmember F**
Oh, we will. We'll do it as
many times as you want.
**[20:40] Kondo (M)**
Toshi... You said I was the
soul of the Shinsengumi.
**[20:46] Kondo (M)**
But to these guys, you're also an
irreplaceable part of that soul.
**[20:52] Kondo (M)**
Good to have you back...Toshi.
