**[00:00] Gintoki**
Who...are you?
**[00:03] Gintoki**
Where's Utsuzo?
**[00:05] Nakamura**
He's not here.
**[00:07] Nakamura**
He left this world a long time ago.
**[00:10] ---**
What?!
**[00:14] Gintoki**
Was it you?
**[00:17] G Intoki**
I'm asking you if you're the
one who killed Utsuzo.
**[00:23] Nakamura**
The foolish son won't come
out even though Boss dies.
**[00:27] Nakamura**
The gang will need someone
to take his place, right?
**[00:29] Nakamura**
That's right. You can't have the
unreliable heir take over.
**[00:33] Nakamura**
You need someone with sharp
skills and a sharp mind.
**[00:38] Nakamura**
A real yakuza.
**[01:00] Yakuza D**
Find him!
**[01:01] Yakuza D**
Drag the river if you have to, but find him!
***SIGN*** [Utsuzo, who had supposedly locked himself inside the storehouse, is no longer alive.]
***SIGN***
**[02:51] Voice A**
Who could have imagined that
Kyojiro would be in charge...
**[02:53] Voice A**
of Boss Mashiroi's funeral ceremony.
**[02:56] Voice B**
The one they call Guardian Dog.
**[02:59] Voice C**
The Boss had only one son, I believe.
**[03:02] Voice D (Woman)**
I hear they butted heads a lot over
him wanting to live an honest life.
**[03:06] Voice D (Woman)**
They say he ran away from home
and no one knows where he is.
**[03:10] Voice B**
Rumor has it that Kyojiro killed him.
**[03:14] Voice B**
Who knows what really happened.
**[03:18] ---**
Before the Boss took him in...
**[03:20] Voice B**
he lived like a stray dog.
**[03:23] Voice A**
Hey, he might bite you in the throat
**[03:25] Voice A**
if he hears you spreading
rumors like that.
**[03:27] Voice C**
How frightening.
***SIGN*** ["Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid"]
**[03:47] Shinpachi**
We're asking you where Gin-san went!
**[03:51] Yakuza C**
I don't know what to tell you...
**[03:54] Shinpachi**
He hasn't returned since that night.
If you know anything, please tell us!
**[03:58] Yakuza C**
I don't know anything...
**[04:00] Kagura**
Dammit, you! If you're monkeying around
with us, I'll rip out your hair!
**[04:04] Shinpachi**
Kagura-chan, think a little before you
speak. These are scary people.
**[04:11] Yakuza C**
You're a spunky young lady.
**[04:13] Yakuza C**
But I don't know anything.
**[04:15] Yakuza C**
And even if I did, I probably
wouldn't tell you anything.
**[04:19] Shinpachi**
We're not getting anywhere with
you. Call Nakamura-san!
**[04:22] Kagura**
Right! We don't want
to deal with small fries!
**[04:25] Yakuza C**
Do you people understand
what's going on here?
**[04:29] Yakuza C**
Brother doesn't have the time
to be bothered by you.
**[04:32] ---**
Go on home.
**[04:33] Nakamura**
That's enough.
**[04:36] Nakamura**
Come this way. I'll hear
what you have to say.
**[04:43] Shinpachi**
So you're saying that when he learned
the Boss died, he left right away?
**[04:48] Nakamura**
That's right. His client died.
**[04:52] Nakamura**
It's what anyone would do.
**[04:54] Shinpachi**
Something's odd...
**[04:58] Nakamura**
What do you mean?
**[05:00] Shinpachi**
It's not odd that Gin-san
didn't come back,
**[05:03] Shinpachi**
but I can't imagine Gin-san giving up
on the job for a reason like that.
**[05:08] Shinpachi**
The Boss's words were full of sincerity
**[05:10] Shinpachi**
when he said he wanted to confront
his son face-to-face.
**[05:14] ---**
That's why Gin-san accepted this
job. I'm sure that's how it was.
**[05:19] Nakamura**
He commands a great deal
of faith...that man does.
**[05:23] Shinpachi**
Well, most of his life is
about slacking, but...
**[05:27] Kagura**
That's right! Most of his body is made
up of sugar and useless syrup,
**[05:32] Kagura**
but Gin-chan would never
give up halfway on a job!
**[05:36] Nakamura**
Tell me something.
**[05:39] Nakamura**
What is that man to you?
**[05:43] Shinpachi (Firmly)**
He's like family.
**[05:48] Nakamura**
Family, huh?
**[05:51] Shinpachi**
Nakamura-san...you know
something, don't you?
**[05:56] Nakamura**
Let me tell you one thing...
**[06:00] Nakamura**
Nothing good happens when decent
people stick their noses
**[06:05] Nakamura**
into yakuza business with
a half-hearted resolve.
**[06:07] Nakamura**
That's a warning to you.
***SIGN*** [Shutenkaku]
**[06:21] Boss A**
You all know why I called this meeting.
**[06:25] Boss A**
I wanted to discuss the
Mashiroi Gang situation.
**[06:31] Boss B**
About a successor...?
**[06:32] Boss C**
Wasn't there a spirited guy there...
**[06:35] ---**
What was his name now?
**[06:37] Boss A**
Kyojiro Nakamura, the Mashiroi
Gang's junior boss.
**[06:41] Boss B**
They call him Guardian Dog Kyojiro.
**[06:44] Boss D**
Guardian Dog? Are you kidding?
He's more like a mad dog.
**[06:48] Boss B**
He's sharp and he's got balls. But...
**[06:58] Boss C**
It's just a rumor, but...
**[07:01] Boss B**
However, we do have to
decide on a successor.
**[07:04] Boss D**
But we have to set an example
for the other gangs.
**[07:13] Boss A**
Okay, it's unanimous. Is that okay?
**[07:28] Yakuza**
Brother!
**[07:29] Yakuza**
Brother.
**[07:31] ---**
There's a letter for you.
**[07:36] Nakamura**
It's from the organization bosses.
**[07:43] Nakamura**
It's been decided.
**[07:44] Yakuza D**
What?
**[07:45] Nakamura**
The date for the inauguration
ceremony's been set.
**[07:47] Yakuza D**
Then...
**[07:49] Nakamura**
Yes, they've officially decided
that I am the successor.
**[07:53] Yakuza D**
But I'm worried...
**[07:55] Nakamura**
About what?
**[07:56] Yakuza D**
That rumor's been going around.
Will everything be okay?
**[08:02] Nakamura**
It's the truth, so there's nothing
we can do about it.
**[08:06] Nakamura**
Let people talk.
**[08:07] Yakuza**
But Brother...
**[08:09] Nakamura**
That's enough! Leave
me alone for a while.
**[08:29] Yakuza E**
There he is!
**[08:30] Yakuza E**
Over there!
**[08:32] Nakamura (M)**
To survive, I did anything
I had to...except kill.
**[08:36] Nakamura (M)**
Anything to survive that day...
**[08:45] Nakamura (M)**
Everyone despised, detested
and feared me...
**[09:15] Yakuza E**
Boss! This is the brat who's
been raiding our turf!
**[09:19] Yakuza F**
Around here, he's known
as Guardian Dog Kyojiro,
**[09:22] Yakuza F**
a brat so well known that even adults
make way to let him pass.
**[09:25] Yakuza F**
He's a street urchin with no
parents and no home.
**[09:27] Yakuza F**
No one's going to complain-hey,
**[09:29] Yakuza F**
they might even thank us-if we wrapped
him up and dumped him in the river.
**[09:32] Boss**
Guardian Dog.
**[09:36] ---**
He certainly does look
like a Guardian Dog
**[09:38] ---**
with those scowl lines between
his eyebrows.
**[09:43] Boss**
You can't form lines like those
without going through a lot.
**[09:46] Boss**
You've suffered a lot, haven't you, kid?
**[09:52] Boss**
That settles it. I'm taking this dog.
**[09:58] Boss**
I want to see him lose those scowl lines!
**[10:04] Nakamura (M)**
There was no enmity or insult.
**[10:07] Nakamura (M)**
The first adult who ever smiled at
me was a bigger villain that I was.
**[10:16] Boss**
Utsuzo, come here.
**[10:19] Boss**
Come...
**[10:21] Boss**
From today on, this is
your friend, Kyojiro.
**[10:26] Utsuzo**
Kyojiro?
**[10:28] Boss**
Kyojiro, this is my son, Utsuzo.
He's a yakuza's kid,
**[10:33] Boss**
but he's a weakling. Look
after him for me.
**[10:36] Nakamura (M)**
From that day on, the stray dog...
**[10:39] Nakamura (M)**
became a Guardian Dog.
**[10:44] Nakamura (M)**
For someone like me,
**[10:46] Nakamura (M)**
unwanted and hated by everyone,
**[10:50] Nakamura (M)**
to be needed by someone
made me happy.
**[10:55] Nakamura (M)**
I didn't mind being a guard
dog. That's how I felt.
**[11:05] Boss**
What?! Utsuzo was attacked
by the Zannenbi Gang?!
**[11:09] Boss**
Utsuzo!
**[11:15] Utsuzo**
Daddy!
**[11:16] Utsuzo**
Daddy!
**[11:17] Boss**
Kyojiro!
**[11:20] Boss**
Kyojiro!
**[11:24] Nakamura (M)**
Boss was more worried
**[11:26] Nakamura (M)**
about my injuries than about his
own son...his tears felt warm.
**[11:37] Nakamura (M)**
The person who taught me-
**[11:39] Nakamura (M)**
someone with no family-what
it meant to be family was...
**[11:44] Nakamura (M)**
you, Dad.
***SIGN*** [Inauguration Ceremony]
**[12:23] Nakamura (M)**
Dad, I made up my mind that day.
**[12:31] Nakamura (M)**
Your blood may not run
through my veins.
**[12:37] Nakamura (M)**
But I will shed my blood at the same time
**[12:40] Nakamura (M)**
and for the same things that you do.
**[12:45] Nakamura (M)**
...Yes, that's what I've decided.
**[12:49] Nakamura (M)**
That's what I decided, but...
**[12:54] Gintoki**
Let's not all be so formal. Drink up.
**[12:59] Gintoki**
Only those who work can
enjoy the taste of sake.
**[13:03] Gintoki**
Of course the work you do
is probably only crime.
**[13:19] Gintoki**
Yo! Is this a birthday party?
Happy birthday.
**[13:24] Nakamura**
You're...?!
**[13:26] Gintoki**
I thought we were friends?
**[13:28] Gintoki**
You could've at least invited
me to your party.
**[13:36] Gintoki**
I intend to repay you in full for the present
you gave me the other day.
**[13:45] Nakamura**
I've been in this business a long time
and met a lot of strong guys.
**[13:49] Nakamura**
But I've never met a guy who returned after
getting slashed and shot up like you.
**[13:56] Nakamura**
I'm glad you're not a yakuza.
**[14:00] Nakamura**
You put on quite a show here.
**[14:02] Nakamura**
Those guys are the bosses
of our organization.
**[14:06] Nakamura**
You'll never get out of here alive.
**[14:10] Gintoki**
Is that so?
**[14:13] Nakamura**
Was it because of the Boss?
**[14:14] ---**
You intend to take on the
entire organization
**[14:17] ---**
just for the sake of a yakuza
you only met once?
**[14:19] Gintoki**
Yakuza or not, it doesn't matter.
**[14:24] Gintoki**
Lawless fellows like you and me
**[14:26] Gintoki**
have nowhere to go once we've
lost our honor and humanity.
**[14:33] Nakamura**
You're exactly right.
**[14:36] Nakamura**
I may've sunk low, but I'm still a yakuza.
**[14:40] Nakamura**
I can't survive in this business if
I've lost my honor and humanity.
**[14:48] Nakamura**
They're not my guys. It would appear...
**[14:51] Nakamura**
the inauguration ceremony
was just a pretense.
**[14:56] Nakamura**
Rumors of my actions have gotten around
inside and outside my own gang.
**[14:59] Nakamura**
The association never had any intention
of allowing me to succeed the Boss.
**[15:06] Nakamura**
They were after my life.
**[15:11] Nakamura**
Kill me.
**[15:12] ---**
It'll be payback for blowing
a hole in your belly.
**[15:15] ---**
I'll let you take my life.
**[15:19] Nakamura**
Having a guy like you take my
life rather than those guys
**[15:24] Nakamura**
would give me something to boast
about in the other world.
**[15:28] Gintoki**
You came here knowing what
would happen, didn't you?
**[15:31] Gintoki**
You came here to die, didn't you?
**[15:36] Nakamura**
Honor and humanity?
**[15:38] Nakamura**
I'd forgotten those words
a long time ago.
**[15:41] Nakamura**
I have nothing left to protect.
**[15:46] Nakamura (M)**
Nothing...
**[15:49] Boss**
What? I dare you to say that again!
**[15:52] Nakamura**
Calm down, Boss!
**[15:53] Utsuzo**
I'll repeat it as many times as you want!
**[15:55] Utsuzo**
I don't want to live with you
and your men, Father!
**[15:58] Utsuzo**
If it's a successor you want, there's
someone much more suitable!
**[16:01] Utsuzo**
I'll live the way I want to live!
**[16:04] Boss**
Wait! Utsuzo!
**[16:05] Utsuzo**
Father, you have Kyojiro-san!
He's got guts, brains and strength!
**[16:10] Utsuzo**
He's a much more decent son than me!
**[16:13] Boss**
Stupid fool!
**[16:14] Nakamura**
Boss!
**[16:18] Nakamura**
Young Boss!
**[16:20] Yakuza G**
Young Boss!
**[16:22] Yakuza F**
Young Boss! Come on out!
**[16:24] Yakuza**
Young Boss!
**[16:25] Yakuza G**
Young Boss!
**[16:32] Boss**
This is so stupid...
**[16:35] Boss**
Having him succeed me...
**[16:37] Boss**
Maybe I thought that was the way
to show my love for my son.
**[16:41] Boss**
Laugh at me, Kyojiro.
**[16:46] ---**
My arms may be good at hitting
and threatening people,
**[16:51] Boss**
but they don't even know
how to hug their own son.
**[17:14] Nakamura**
Young Boss...
**[17:31] Nakamura**
Listen up...
**[17:33] Nakamura**
Don't let the Boss near the storehouse.
**[17:36] Nakamura**
Boss will die soon.
**[17:39] Nakamura**
Until then, take turns living
in the storehouse
**[17:41] Nakamura**
and don't let him know that the
Young Boss is not there.
**[17:44] Nakamura**
Understand?
**[17:45] Yakuza H**
Brother...where is...the Young Boss?
**[17:48] Nakamura**
Young boss...
**[17:52] Nakamura**
...I killed him.
**[18:01] Nakamura (M)**
This is...how it should be...
**[18:04] Nakamura (M)**
Boss died without knowing
anything. My duty is...
**[18:09] Nakamura (M)**
Fulfilled.
**[18:11] ---**
I have nothing left...to protect.
**[18:28] Nakamura**
Wh-What...?! Are you...
**[18:32] Nakamura**
doing?!
**[18:33] Gintoki**
I already repaid you for the
hole you put in my gut!
**[18:37] Gintoki**
Like I told you, I only came to fulfill my
obligation to honor and humanity.
**[18:41] Gintoki**
I promised the old man, you know.
**[18:44] Gintoki**
That I'd bring his foolish son to him.
**[18:49] Gintoki**
So draw your sword! Fight!
**[18:57] Nakamura**
You understand, right,
**[19:00] Nakamura**
that I'm the guy who
tried to take your life!
**[19:03] Gintoki**
That kind of thing wasn't going to kill me.
**[19:05] Gintoki**
I was just going along with
your lousy playacting.
**[19:09] Nakamura**
You...
**[19:10] Gintoki**
I saw right through you.
You're a lousy actor!
**[19:14] Gintoki (Recollection)**
Was it you?
**[19:16] Gintoki (Recollection)**
I'm asking you if you're the
one who killed Utsuzo.
**[19:22] Gintoki**
You would kill me and shoulder all the
blame to keep the secret hidden.
**[19:29] Gintoki**
And what's more,
**[19:31] Gintoki**
you were going to die and take
everything to your grave?
**[19:34] Gintoki**
Stop trying to make yourself look good!
**[19:37] Gintoki**
If you really think of the old
man as your father...
**[19:40] Gintoki**
If you're really doing this for his sake...
**[19:43] Gintoki**
Live. Bring even a single lousy flower
and go visit him at his grave!
**[19:49] Gintoki**
I won't allow any more of the
old man's sons die!
**[19:53] Gintoki**
I won't let you die!
**[19:56] Gintoki**
I'll drag you to that old man's
grave if I have to!
**[20:00] Gintoki**
Out of my way!
**[20:01] Gintoki**
Scumbags!
**[20:24] Gintoki**
Kyojiro!
**[20:27] Gintoki**
Kyojiro!
**[20:31] Gintoki**
Hang on! Hey!
**[20:34] Gintoki**
Dammit! Wait I'll get a doctor!
**[20:37] Nakamura**
Don't bother. It hit me in the worst spot.
**[20:41] Gintoki**
Don't be so weak!
**[20:44] Gintoki**
You're a yakuza, aren't you?!
**[20:46] Gintoki**
Don't whimper just because
there's a hole in your gut!
**[20:50] Nakamura**
This is...how it's supposed to be.
**[20:54] Nakamura**
I...can't face the Boss.
**[20:58] Nakamura**
I couldn't protect what
was precious to him.
**[21:01] Nakamura**
It's divine punishment.
**[21:04] Nakamura**
He helped me so much, but I couldn't
do a single thing for him in return.
**[21:14] Nakamura**
I was a useless Guardian Dog.
Once a stray, always a stray.
**[21:21] Nakamura**
When I die, throw my
body in a back alley.
**[21:25] Nakamura**
It's a death befitting a stray dog.
**[21:30] Gintoki**
You're not a stray dog.
**[21:33] Gintoki**
The rest of the world might scorn
you, but I know the truth.
**[21:38] Gintoki**
Even if you had to take all the blame,
**[21:41] Gintoki**
you protected it until the very end.
**[21:44] Gintoki**
You're not a stray dog.
**[21:48] Gintoki**
You're a noble Guardian Dog.
**[21:56] Boss**
Guardian Dog.
**[21:59] ---**
He certainly does look
**[22:01] ---**
like a Guardian Dog with those scowl
lines between his eyebrows.
**[22:06] Boss**
You can't form lines like those
without going through a lot.
**[22:10] Boss**
You've suffered a lot, haven't you, kid?
**[22:16] Boss**
That settles it.
**[22:18] Boss**
I'm taking this dog. I want to see
him lose those scowl lines!
