[00:04] Gintoki
    Pen name Gin World asks:
[00:08] Gintoki
    How many members are there
    in the Shinsengumi?
[00:11] Gintoki
    In Episode 20, about the
    mosquito-like Amanto,
[00:14] Gintoki
    they said 18 members
    were "more than half."
[00:17] Gintoki
    Since the Shinsengumi
    has up to Squad 10
[00:19] Gintoki
    that means there are only
    2-3 people per squad.
[00:23] Gintoki
    Is the Shinsengumi comprised
    of 35-36 men?
[00:26] Gintoki
    Okay, here's your answer.
[00:29] Gintoki
    The Shinsengumi regularly recruits members
    and has grown into a giant organization.
[00:34] Gintoki
    In the Crisis Arc, Kondo tried
    to return to his hometown
[00:37] Gintoki
    because he wanted to recruit members.
[00:39] Gintoki
    Currently, there are roughly
    10 men per squad.
[00:42] Gintoki
    By the way, you must never go back
    and pause previous episodes
[00:45] Gintoki
    to count the number of people.
[00:47] Gintoki
    In anime, 10 or more are
    counted as "many."
[00:50] Gintoki
    And so, transfer-student Saito, go
    and stand outside in the hallway!

[01:11] Yakuza F
    Do you understand, Kyojiro?
    This is you...
[01:15] Yakuza F
    The Guardian dog always stands
    in front of his master,
[01:19] Yakuza F
    unmoving, protecting his
    master from all harm.
[01:25] Yakuza F
    Look at this face...isn't it magnificent?
[01:29] Yakuza F
    I think you can grow up
    into a man as noble,
[01:31] Yakuza F
    majestic and strong as
    this Guardian dog.
[01:38] Yakuza F
    But that really depends
    on you. Work hard...
[04:00] Shinpachi
    Whoa! It's huge!
[04:02] Shinpachi
    You know, I think it's finally happening!
[04:04] Shinpachi
    I don't know what sort of job this is,
[04:06] Shinpachi
    but I think we can look forward to
    major compensation this time!
[04:10] Kagura
    We'll be feasting tonight!
[04:13] Shinpachi
    After all, we've never been
    picked up like this!
[04:16] Gintoki
    Quiet, you two. You're embarrassing us.
[04:19] Gintoki
    Thank you.
[04:23] Shinpachi
    Think it's a top Bakufu official?
[04:26] Gintoki
    We've become quite famous.
[04:28] Kagura
    Let's do our best.
SIGN    ["Kids Don't Understand How Their Parents Feel"]
[05:15] Shinpachi
    Gin-san...I feel like I could be shot
    full of holes at any moment.
[05:19] Gintoki
    This goes way beyond
    giving us the evil eye.
[05:21] Gintoki
    Think they're trying to fire laser
    beams at us with their eyes?
[05:24] Gintoki
    Listen, they're probably going to tell us
    to deliver some white powder for them.
[05:30] Gintoki
    I'm sure it's flour, so just quietly
    do as they say, okay?
[05:34] Kagura
    Understood.
[05:36] Shinpachi
    Stop that Gin-san. Don't
    give up hope so soon.
[05:39] Boss
    You guys the Odd jobs?
[05:43] Boss
    Thanks for coming.
[05:44] Boss
    I'm your client, Kaguzo Mashiroi,
    boss of the Mashiroi Gang.
SIGN    [Note: In Japanese: Mashiroi Kaguzo can mean "I'm gonna sniff some white (powder)."]
[05:51] Gintoki
    Uh-oh, he's about to sniff
    some white powder.
[05:54] Boss
    The reason I called you here
    today is...look over there...
[05:58] Boss
    See that storehouse?
[06:00] Boss
    Inside, is the...
[06:03] Gintoki
    Uh-oh, here he comes...
[06:04] Gintoki
    the white powder.
[06:06] Boss
    the Mashiroi...
SIGN    [Note: In Japanese: Mashiroi is a homonym that can mean "white."]
[06:07] Boss
    The Mashiroi Gang's successor...my
    only son, Utsuzo Mashiroi,
SIGN    
[06:11] Boss
    who's locked himself in there.
[06:17] Gintoki
    Huh?
[06:21] Boss
    Five years ago Utsuzo locked himself
    in there and never came out.
[06:25] Boss
    He detested becoming a yakuza
    and went to earn an honest living
[06:28] Boss
    as an apprentice at a textile wholesaler.
[06:31] Boss
    But then he abruptly returned
    from his apprenticeship,
[06:34] Boss
    moved all his personal effects into the storehouse
    and hasn't stepped foot outside since.
[06:40] Boss
    I haven't even seen him
    the past five years.
[06:44] Gintoki
    C'mon, are you sure he's not
    already dead in there?
[06:47] Shinpachi
    Stop it, Gin-san.
[06:48] Boss
    No, I haven't seen or spoken
    to him for five years,
[06:52] Boss
    but a note with his meal requests and things he wants
    appears between the gap in the door every day.
[06:58] Kagura
    You're right. There's one now.
[07:00] Yakuza H
    Boss!
[07:03] Boss
    Guys! Animage, JUMP
    and a Hepsi NEX!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Pepsi NEX. Animage is an anime magazine from Tokuma Shoten.]
[07:06] Yakuza
    Got it!
[07:09] Boss
    A yakuza's son shutting himself off...
[07:11] Boss
    If word got out-my reputation is everything-I
    could never remain a yakuza.
[07:16] Boss
    I've been so concerned about how it would
    look even though I know it's silly,
[07:18] Boss
    that I haven't even confronted
    my son face-to-face.
[07:20] Boss
    By the time I realized it,
    five years had passed.
[07:24] Boss
    I'm responsible for driving
    Utsuzo into going this far.
[07:28] Boss
    I'm willing to do anything
    to get my son back.
[07:35] Boss
    ...But as pitiful as this sounds,
    I don't know what I should do.
[07:40] Boss
    What should a parent do
    in a situation like this?
[07:46] Gintoki
    Just stand there and watch.
[07:51] Gintoki
    If you feel that way, that's enough.
[07:54] Gintoki
    Leave the rest to us.
[07:56] Gintoki
    Yakuza aren't comfortable
    with delicate work, right?
[07:59] Boss
    ...You people...
[08:01] Gintoki
    Essentially, you want us to drag your
    son out of the storehouse, right?
[08:05] ---
    Hey, Kagura.
[08:07] Kagura
    Come on out! Get a job, you stupid son!
[08:11] Boss
    Hey! Even yakuza could've done that!
[08:14] Boss
    Do you know what "delicate" means?
[08:15] Yakuza A
    Young Boss!
[08:17] Yakuza B
    Dammit! What the hell are you doing?!
[08:19] Shinpachi
    Just a minute. We understand,
    we understand.
[08:23] Shinpachi
    We'll be more delicate! Just don't kill us!
[08:31] Gintoki
    What is all this?
[08:33] Gintoki
    Are these guys comedians doing
    a life-or-death routine?!
[08:35] Kagura
    I feel like a fawn that's stumbled
    into the polar bear cage.
[08:39] Shinpachi
    What hasn't changed is our lives
    are still hanging by a thread here.
[08:43] Shinpachi
    Please be delicate.
[08:48] Gintoki
    We have you completely surrounded.
[08:50] Gintoki
    Cease your resistance and
    come out peacefully!
[08:53] Gintoki
    If you don't do as we say,
[08:56] Gintoki
    we will repeat our demands every
    two hours, morning and night!
[09:01] Gintoki
    Do yourself a favor by giving yourself
    up before you get raccoon eyes!
[09:05] Kagura
    Otherwise we'll throw you
    into a bear cage, dammit!
[09:07] Boss
    That's not very convincing!
[09:10] Yakuza A
    Don't play games, dammit!
[09:12] Yakuza B
    Don't think you can get away with
    threatening a yakuza's son!
[09:16] Shinpachi
    Huh? It's a note! A note just came out!
[09:19] Shinpachi
    He must've had a change of heart!
[09:22] Yakuza I
    Boss!
[09:24] Boss
    Two-kilobattle...?
SIGN    
[09:26] Gintoki (M)
    Isn't that score a bit low?
[09:28] Boss
    What the hell is this?!
[09:30] Gintoki
    Can't you tell? It's a charcoal brazier.
[09:32] Boss
    I could tell that by looking.
    What I was asking was...
[09:35] Gintoki
    No, no. Say no more. This
    is my strategy. I call it...
[09:41] Boss
    You call it...
[09:43] Gintoki
    Huh? That looks like fun.
[09:45] ---
    When he opens the door a crack
    to peek out, we drag him out!
[09:48] ---
    That's the plan!
[09:51] Shinpachi
    Let me explain.
[09:52] ---
    The "Huh? That looks like fun.
[09:54] ---
    When he opens the door
    a crack to peek out,
[09:56] ---
    we drag him out!" plan works like this...
[09:59] ---
    First, we grill meat or something
    on this charcoal brazier.
[10:04] ---
    Then we throw a lively party to attract
    the Young Boss's attention.
[10:08] Boss
    You're just retelling the
    story of Amanoiwato!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of the Amaterasu myth. She shut herself in a cave and the gods threw a party to lure her out.]
[10:11] Kagura
    Just to let you know, forcing
    the doors open is my job!
[10:15] Boss
    Who cares?! Enough of this silliness!
[10:19] Gintoki
    Man, you yakuza have no patience.
[10:23] Gintoki
    Did you really think we Odd Jobs would come
    up with such a simple-minded plan?
[10:28] Boss
    All of your plans up to now
    have been simple-minded.
[10:32] Gintoki
    There's more to this plan. In other
    words, it has two stages!
[10:36] Boss
    Two stages, you say?!
[10:38] Gintoki
    Let me explain!
[10:39] ---
    If he doesn't show interest in our party,
[10:42] ---
    we'll leave the food on the brazier
    and use it to smoke the kid out!
[10:46] Boss
    Stop it!
[10:48] Yakuza A
    You're playing games with us!
[10:49] Yakuza B
    Don't think you can make fools
    of yakuza and get away with it!
[10:53] Shinpachi
    We're sorry. We won't do it
    anymore! Really, we won't!
[10:57] Gintoki
    Oh, it's another note.
[10:59] Yakuza J
    Boss!
[11:02] Boss
    Smoky...
[11:04] All
    Definitely.
[11:05] Gintoki
    Oh, okay, okay! We'll use our last resort.
[11:09] Boss
    What is it? Do you have a plan?
[11:11] Gintoki
    I do! There's one way to
    definitely get him out!
[11:15] ---
    Hey, Kagura!
[11:16] Kagura
    That plan, huh?
[11:18] Kagura
    Come on out! Get a job, you stupid son!
[11:20] Boss
    That was the first thing you
    tried! The first, not the last!
[11:25] Yakuza A
    Young Boss!
[11:26] Yakuza B
    Dammit! What the hell are you doing?!
[11:28] Shinpachi
    Another note! He's still all right!
[11:30] Boss
    Really?!
SIGN    [Farewell.]
[11:34] Boss
    This is his dying message!
[11:36] Yakuza K
    What the hell have you
    done?! You idiots!
[11:39] Yakuza K
    What're you going to do about this?!
[11:41] Nakamura
    Hey, that's enough.
[11:48] Nakamura
    This isn't blood. It's tomato juice.
[11:52] Nakamura
    Seems the Young Boss
    is eating his vegetables.
[11:54] Nakamura
    I'm relieved.
[11:56] Yakuza
    Brother!
[11:58] Gintoki
    Who's that?
[11:59] Boss
    That's our junior boss,
    Kyojiro Nakamura.
[12:02] Boss
    Utsuzo thought of him like a brother back
    when he was still out and about.
[12:06] Boss
    He knows Utsuzo better than I do.
[12:10] Nakamura
    Boss, it's appalling to see all these
    adults made fools of by a kid.
[12:16] Boss
    I've...decided to deal with
    my son face-to-face.
[12:22] Nakamura
    It's too late for that.
[12:24] Nakamura
    You should just leave Utsuzo alone.
[12:27] Nakamura
    When the time is right, he'll
    come out on his own.
[12:30] Nakamura
    Don't hurt Utsuzo any more
    than you already have.
[12:32] Nakamura
    I won't let you forget what you did to him.
[12:43] Yakuza
    B-Boss!
[12:45] Nakamura
    Boss, hold on!
[12:54] Nakamura
    Hanzo! Get a gurney, now!
[12:56] Hanzo
    R-Right!
[12:58] Nakamura
    Hey! Pull yourself together, Boss!
[13:00] ---
    Boss!
[13:01] Shinpachi
    Gin-san!
[13:02] Gintoki
    The two of you go with
    them to the hospital.
[13:04] Kagura
    What about you, Gin-chan?
[13:06] Gintoki
    Me? I...
[13:16] Nakamura
    I see... No, you men
    stay with him tonight.
[13:21] Nakamura
    Yeah...I'll take care of things
    here. Don't worry about it.
[13:24] Nakamura
    I'll bring Young Boss his meal.
[13:28] Nakamura
    Huh? The kids are a nuisance?
[13:30] Nakamura
    You mean the kids the boss
    hired? Ignore them.
[13:46] Gintoki
    How cruel is that?
[13:49] Gintoki
    His father collapsed, but
    he won't even budge.
[13:53] Nakamura
    Your client collapsed.
[13:55] Nakamura
    There's no reason for you
    to remain here, is there?
[13:58] Gintoki
    I just want to see his face-
[14:00] Gintoki
    the face of the obstinate son who won't
    budge even as his father is about to die.
[14:05] Nakamura
    ...You suspected, didn't you?
[14:10] Nakamura
    ...What the Boss did was that bad...
[14:13] ---
    Here.
[14:14] Gintoki
    Hey, is this okay? Isn't
    this for the idiot son?
[14:18] Nakamura
    Never mind. Only those who work
    can enjoy the taste of sake.
[14:23] Nakamura
    I've known the Young Boss
    since he was a little kid.
[14:28] Nakamura
    He was meek, gentle, and despised the
    yakuza way of life even back then.
[14:33] Nakamura
    He didn't have what it takes
    to live in this world.
[14:37] Nakamura
    He chose to make an honest living
    against the Boss's wishes.
[14:42] Nakamura
    He seemed happy at his job...
[14:45] Nakamura
    But that didn't last long.
[14:49] Nakamura
    It was the Boss.
[14:51] Nakamura
    Utsuzo was his heir.
[14:52] Nakamura
    Boss tried to bring him back to the
    yakuza world by showing up
[14:55] Nakamura
    at the Young Boss's workplace and
    harassing the store over and over.
[15:01] Nakamura
    Once people found out they were related,
    Utsuzo was immediately fired.
[15:06] Nakamura
    It's all the Boss's fault that the
    Young Boss is the way he is.
[15:11] Nakamura
    He's making a big fuss now
    over getting the Young Boss
[15:13] Nakamura
    out after ignoring him all this time because
    he knows his death is imminent.
[15:19] Nakamura
    He's desperately trying to make his
    son succeed him before he dies.
[15:24] Nakamura
    Don't you think that's self-serving?
[15:30] Gintoki
    I don't know all the messy details, but...
[15:33] Gintoki
    Does a parent who wants to see his
    child before he dies need a reason?
[15:46] Gintoki
    Does a child need a reason
    to see his parent?
[15:57] Boss
    Utsuzo...is Utsuzo here...?
[16:02] Gintoki
    Do a father and son need a reason?
[16:04] Gintoki
    They want to see each other's faces-isn't
    that reason enough?
[16:09] Nakamura
    You're...a good man.
[16:12] Gintoki
    Hearing that from a guy doesn't
    make me happy at all.
[16:16] Gintoki
    Sorry. Regardless of whether
    he has his heart in a shell,
[16:19] Gintoki
    I'm dragging him shell
    and all to his father.
[16:22] Gintoki
    Come on out. We're going to punch
    your dying father in the face.
[16:38] Gintoki
    It opened?
[16:39] Nakamura
    Man, I give you credit for making
    him open that door.
[17:01] Woman
    Is it time to change shifts?
[17:03] ---
    Isn't it a little early?
[17:04] Gintoki
    A woman?
[17:06] Gintoki
    Who are you? Where's Utsuzo?
[17:09] Nakamura
    He's not here.
[17:11] Nakamura
    He left this world a long time ago.
[17:30] Gintoki
    Who...are you?
[17:32] Gintoki
    Where's Utsuzo?
[17:34] Nakamura
    He's not here.
[17:36] Nakamura
    He left this world a long time ago.
[17:56] Nakamura
    Man, your skills are top-notch... Looks
    like I got caught by the wrong guy.
[18:04] Gintoki
    Damn you. What's going on here?!
[18:07] Nakamura
    I already told you. It's too late to
    drag out the stupid son now.
[18:12] Nakamura
    Those guys are all idiots.
[18:15] Nakamura
    They haven't seen the guy or heard
    his voice for five years-
[18:17] Nakamura
    how's he supposed to be still alive?
[18:21] Nakamura
    It's the Boss's fault.
[18:23] Nakamura
    Just when I thought his son went straight
    and wasn't in my way anymore,
[18:27] Nakamura
    he goes and drags him back.
[18:30] Nakamura
    If the son's around I'll
    never get my chance.
[18:34] Nakamura
    There was nothing I could do about it,
[18:35] Nakamura
    so I made sure he would never
    come out of his shell.
[18:40] Nakamura
    No matter how much anyone called
    out to him or yelled at him,
[18:43] Nakamura
    the Young Boss was never
    going to come out.
[18:46] Nakamura
    I mean, all that's left inside
    his shell are bones.
[18:49] Nakamura
    The Young Boss will forever
    remain in his shell in here,
[18:52] Nakamura
    even if the Boss dies.
[18:55] Nakamura
    Too bad for the Boss, but he'll see
    his precious son in the other world.
[19:01] Gintoki
    Was it you?
[19:03] Gintoki
    I'm asking you if you're the
    one who killed Utsuzo.
[19:15] Nakamura
    Back then I looked after the Young Boss.
[19:19] Nakamura
    Even after he shut himself away, the
    Young Boss would see only me.
[19:22] Nakamura
    It was a cinch to set things up.
[19:25] Nakamura
    It'd have been trouble if there was a fuss.
[19:28] Nakamura
    The foolish son won't come
    out even though Boss dies.
[19:32] Nakamura
    The gang will need someone
    to take his place, right?
[19:35] Nakamura
    That's right. You can't have the
    unreliable heir take over.
[19:39] Nakamura
    You need someone with sharp
    skills and a sharp mind.
[19:43] Nakamura
    A real yakuza.
[19:49] Gintoki
    You're no yakuza...
[19:53] Gintoki
    You're nothing but a scoundrel.
[20:00] Gintoki
    You...
[20:02] Nakamura
    Seems the poison is finally taking effect.
[20:05] Nakamura
    I was starting to think poison
    doesn't work on a fool.
[20:10] Gintoki
    I guess the reason the sake tasted bad
[20:12] Gintoki
    wasn't only because it
    was poured by a man.
[20:16] Nakamura
    Finish him.
[20:17] Yakuza
    Right!
[20:18] Yakuza C
    Kill him!
[20:33] Yakuza
    Come back here!
[21:01] Gintoki
    Now you've done it...
[21:04] Yakuza D
    Die!
[21:51] Yakuza D
    Find him!
[21:52] Yakuza D
    Drag the river if you have to, but find him!
[21:54] Yakuza
    Right!
[22:04] Yakuza C
    Brother.
[22:06] Yakuza C
    We just got a call from the hospital.
[22:09] Yakuza C
    The Boss...
[22:11] Yakuza C
    just died.
[22:15] Nakamura
    I see.
[22:17] Yakuza D
    You did it. Everything is finally yours.
[22:20] Yakuza E
    It's the start of the new Mashiroi...no,
    the start of the Nakamura Gang.
[22:24] Nakamura
    We're leaving.
[22:25] Yakuza

    the Boss find out, it'll get messy.
[22:43] Yakuza D

[22:44] Yakuza
    Brother!
