[00:06] Gintoki
    Pen name "Catherine's cat ears are the worst-ever,
    strongest-ever weapons" writes...
[00:12] ---
    "What is "GinTama" trying to do?
[00:14] ---
    I don't understand what they're doing.
[00:16] ---
    I don't see any kind of goal in this anime."
[00:18] ---
    Okay, here's your answer.
[00:22] Gintoki
    I don't know, either.
[00:24] Gintoki
    It's sad that after two-and-a-half years,
[00:26] Gintoki
    we're still getting postcards like this.
[00:29] Gintoki
    We shouldn't keep dragging
    on and on. I mean really.
[00:33] Gintoki
    Maybe I should've said something like "I'm
    going to become the Samurai King!"
SIGN    [Note: Parody of ONE PIECE.]
[00:37] Gintoki
    So let's use that.
[00:39] Gintoki
    And so, "Catherine's cat ears are the
    worst-ever, strongest-ever weapons,"
SIGN    [Note: Gintoki is wearing Luffy's costume from ONE PIECE.]
[00:44] Gintoki
    the goal of GinTama the anime is:
    "to become the Samurai King!"

    Look at the center of your screen.
[02:37] Kusano
    Our camera is too far
    away to see it clearly.
[02:40] Kusano
    But you can see what
    appears to be a cow
[02:42] Kusano
    flying through the air as if it's
    being sucked into the sky.
SIGN    [Livestock farmer Zenshichi Toyobe (Age 72)]
[02:46] Old Man
    I was working, when all of
    a sudden, the sky lit up.
[02:50] Old Man
    A glowing saucer came flying down,
    sucked up my cow and flew off.
[02:56] ---
    I hear Hikohachi over yonder
    had all of his pigs taken, too.
[03:01] Old Man
    Who could be doing such a thing?
[03:04] Kusano
    The Bakufu suspects these to be
    cases of theft by Amanto thieves
[03:08] Kusano
    and is conducting an investigation.
[03:10] Kusano
    Currently, the only damage has been
    to livestock in farming villages,
[03:15] Kusano
    but for anybody living in the city-we urge
    you to lock your doors and be on the alert.
[03:19] Kusano
    In other news...
[03:21] Shinpachi
    How troubling. No telling where thieves
    will strike from these days.
[03:27] Gintoki
    Cattle abduction in this
    day and age isn't cool.
[03:33] Gintoki
    A long time ago, before anyone
    knew Amanto existed,
[03:37] Gintoki
    human beings were abducted and their
    bodies altered against their will.
[03:41] Gintoki
    Because of incidents like that, people
    talked about being "spirited away."
[03:46] Gintoki
    The problem was the victims had their
    memories of the experience erased
[03:50] Gintoki
    so they can't remember
    what was done to them.
[03:53] Gintoki
    But there were a rare few who did remember
    and that's why we have these stories today.
[03:58] Gintoki
    There's no telling what
    those bastards did.
[04:02] Gintoki
    For all you know, you may have
    already been abducted
[04:04] Gintoki
    and had some strange thing
    embedded in your body.
[04:08] Gintoki
    After all, you seem like an easy target.
[04:11] Shinpachi
    Stop joking. I'm not a kid, so
    you're not going to scare me.
[04:17] Shinpachi
    Gin-san, the TV's acting up again.
[04:20] Gintoki
    This thing is hopeless...really.
[04:24] Gintoki
    That didn't fix it.
    Maybe its time has come.
[04:28] Gintoki
    Guess we'll have to open it up to fix it.
[04:31] Shinpachi
    Gin-san, if you're going to fix it,
    I have a screwdriver...right here.
[04:36] Shinpachi
    Want to use it?
[04:44] Shinpachi
    W-Wh-What is t-th-this?!
[04:46] Shinpachi
    W-Wh-Why is my finger
    a Phillips screwdriver?!
[04:50] Gintoki
    C'mon Shinpachi, I know
    your character is weak,
[04:53] Gintoki
    but that's not the way to go.
SIGN    [Note: From the anime Cobra.]
[04:54] Gintoki
    If you're going to upgrade your character,
    at least give yourself a Psycho Gun.
[04:58] Gintoki
    That's so half-assed.
[04:59] Shinpachi
    That's not what happened!
[05:01] Shinpachi
    Who'd do something like this
    to upgrade their character?!
[05:03] Gintoki
    You saying you don't remember
    doing that?
[05:04] Shinpachi
    Of course not! Who would choose
    to do such a thing?!
[05:08] Gintoki
    You're saying you have no
    idea how it got there?
[05:11] Gintoki
    Did you get abducted?
[05:15] Shinpachi
    Could...it be...
[05:18] Shinpachi
    That wasn't a dream?
[05:21] Shinpachi
    Tonight, I'm having Pacific
    saury for dinner.
SIGN    [Note: Pacific saury (mackerel pike) is a type of fish.]
[05:24] Shinpachi
    Nothing beats saury in the fall.
[05:27] ---
    Wh...What is that?
[05:34] Shinpachi
    It's...
[05:35] Shinpachi
    so bright!
[05:42] Amanto B
    How's this one?
[05:44] Amanto A
    No good again.
[05:46] Amanto A
    The size is too big.
    It doesn't fit the screw.
[05:50] Amanto A
    Good grief, now I can't fix my PS(P).
[05:54] Amanto A
    The analog controller broke while
    I was playing Mon-Hun.
SIGN    [Note: Short for PSP game Monster Hunter Portable. Sold as Monster Hunter Freedom in US.]
[05:57] ---
    I'm positive it'd be an easy
    fix if I took it apart.
[06:01] Amanto B
    I don't think an amateur
    should disassemble it.
[06:05] Amanto B
    Let's send it to Zony for repair.
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Sony.]
[06:07] Amanto A
    I don't want someone taking my money.
[06:09] Amanto B
    But I heard if you disassemble it yourself,
    they won't accept it for repair.
[06:14] Amanto A
    What? Seriously?
[06:16] Amanto B
    What'd you do with the warranty...
[06:17] Amanto B
    that came with it when you bought it?
[06:20] Amanto A
    I probably...
[06:21] Amanto A
    threw it out with the box, uh-oh...
[06:25] Shinpachi
    W-Wh-What are you?!
[06:27] Shinpachi
    Wh-What is this place?
[06:29] Amanto A
    Uh-oh, he's awake. It's because
    you talk too loud.
[06:33] Amanto B
    That was you, Senpai.
[06:37] Shinpachi
    What...did you do to my finger?!
[06:40] Amanto B
    We don't know anything about that.
[06:42] Shinpachi
    What do you mean you don't know?!
[06:44] Shinpachi
    You...it's...a Phillips screwdriver now!
[06:47] Amanto A
    It was like that from the start.
[06:49] Shinpachi
    Don't lie! You did this!
    You modified my body!
[06:54] Amanto B
    We didn't. I didn't want to.
[06:57] Amanto B
    Then Senpai said he wanted
    to take apart the PS(P).
[07:00] Shinpachi
    PS(P)?!
[07:01] Amanto A
    I told you not to say anything!
[07:04] Shinpachi
    Hey, what do you mean by PS(P)?! Is that
    the reason why you...?!
[07:08] Amanto A
    No, that's not it at all. We didn't
    have the right screwdriver, so...
[07:13] Shinpachi
    That's totally it!
[07:14] Shinpachi
    You could've bought something
    like that at any hardware shop.
[07:18] Shinpachi
    Why did you have to modify my body?!
[07:20] Amanto A
    No, you misunderstand.
    We had no time to lose...
[07:23] Amanto A
    After all, I knew you'd
    try to get ahead of me
[07:26] Amanto A
    in Mon-Hun while I couldn't play.
[07:29] Amanto A
    You'd defeat Paoshanron all by yourself
    to get an awesome item
SIGN    [Note: Paoshanron is a Parody of Lao Shan Lung from Monster Hunter.]
[07:33] Amanto A
    and give me the "I'm better
    than you" Senpai look.
[07:36] Amanto B
    I wouldn't do that.
[07:38] Amanto B
    I'd never be able to defeat
    Paoshanron by myself.
[07:40] Amanto A
    You told me that last time.
[07:44] Amanto A
    Then you defeated Purin alone
    and got a nice item.
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Kirin from Monster Hunter.]
[07:47] Amanto A
    Seriously unbelievable.
[07:49] Shinpachi
    Who cares?! What're you going
    to do about my finger?!
[07:52] Shinpachi
    Return it to normal! I'll sue you!
    I'll definitely file charges!
[07:57] Amanto B
    What should we do, Senpai?
[07:59] Amanto A
    I'll give up on the PS(P).
[08:02] Amanto A
    There's supposed to
    be a new model out.
[08:04] Amanto A
    The one that's Net-enabled.
    Let's play that one.
[08:06] Amanto B
    You're supposed to be able to
    transfer your PS(P) data to it.
[08:09] Amanto B
    What'll we do about him?
[08:11] Amanto A
    Throw him out onto the road.
[08:16] Gintoki
    So you're saying they abducted
    you to modify your finger
[08:19] Gintoki
    into a screwdriver just so they
    could repair their PS(P)?
[08:25] Shinpachi
    Hey, look at me.
[08:27] Shinpachi
    It's not funny! How am I supposed
    to live with a finger like this?
[08:34] Shinpachi
    I can't pick my nose or
    hug the person I love!
[08:38] Gintoki
    You'll be fine.
[08:39] Gintoki
    You'll be able to tighten the screws
    to the heart of the person you love.
[08:42] Shinpachi
    That's just lousy smooth talk.
[08:45] Shinpachi
    What do you mean "screws
    to the heart"?
[08:47] Gintoki
    Forget it. You have ten fingers.
[08:50] ---
    I'm sure it's more convenient that
    one of them is a screwdriver.
[08:52] ---
    I've got to pee.
[08:53] Shinpachi
    Don't say irresponsible things because
    it's someone else's problem!
[08:56] Kagura
    'Morning.
[08:57] Shinpachi
    Oh, Kagura-chan, look what
    happened to my finger...
[09:06] Kagura
    I had a weird dream and
    didn't sleep very well.
[09:10] Gintoki
    Gin-san! It's Kagura-chan!
[09:12] ---
    Kagura-chan's entire body's been
    turned into a flathead screwdriver!
[09:15] Shinpachi
    C'mon! Are you listening?! Gin-san?
[09:18] ---
    Gin-san?!
[09:23] Shinpachi
    ...Gin-san?
[09:24] Shinpachi (M)
    Not you, too...!
[09:31] Shinpachi
    G-Gin-san...n-not you, too?
[09:36] Gintoki
    Patsuan, it's not a crime to kill
    aliens from outer space, right?
[09:42] Shinpachi (M)
    They did it to him! They messed
    with Gin-san's analog stick!
[09:46] ---
    [Net Cafe]
[09:49] Shinpachi
    Unfortunately, the information we have
    on them is extremely limited.
[09:53] Shinpachi
    We don't know what planet those Amanto
    are from, or where they are now.
[09:57] Shinpachi
    All we know is that they're
    obsessed with Mon-Hun.
[10:01] Shinpachi
    Our only hope is to find a clue
    and trace it back to them.
[10:05] Kagura
    What is "Mon-Hun"? Is that short
    for Mongolian hamster?
[10:09] Shinpachi
    It's a very popular game throughout
    the galaxy right now.
[10:12] Shinpachi
    Monkey Hunter, a.k.a. Mon-Hun.
SIGN    [Note: Parody of the game, Monster Hunter.]
[10:16] Shinpachi
    It's a game where the player enjoys
    being a hunter on a planet inhabited
[10:20] Shinpachi
    by many types of monster monkeys.
[10:23] Shinpachi
    They were playing the PS(P) version
[10:26] Shinpachi
    and wanted to switch to
    the latest online version.
[10:29] Shinpachi
    That's fortunate for us.
[10:31] Shinpachi
    The online version allows gamers
    from all over the galaxy
[10:34] Shinpachi
    to access a playing field
    created on the Net.
[10:37] Shinpachi
    No matter where those aliens are,
[10:39] Shinpachi
    if we conduct our search inside the game,
    we're bound to meet up with them.
[10:44] Kagura
    So we'll have to search for
    them inside the game
[10:45] Kagura
    where gamers from across
    the galaxy come together.
[10:49] Kagura
    That'll be troublesome.
[10:50] Shinpachi
    We don't have a choice.
[10:52] Shinpachi
    We don't have any other clues,
[10:54] Shinpachi
    so this is the only place we can be sure
    those game-playing aliens will be.
[10:56] Gintoki
    Huh?
[10:57] Gintoki
    We don't have to go through
    all that hassle.
[11:00] Gintoki
    It'd be faster if we hunted down
    every single Amanto.
[11:03] Gintoki
    I'll give everyone of them
    a slow and painful death.
[11:06] Shinpachi
    Gin-san's losing it.
    Do something, Kagura-chan.
[11:10] Gintoki (Loudly)
    Damn right, I'm losing it!
[11:13] Gintoki (Loudly)
    Shinpachi, you were lucky.
[11:15] Gintoki (Loudly)
    Of your ten analog sticks, only one
    got turned into a screwdriver.
[11:22] Gintoki
    I, on the other hand, have only
    one in the entire world,
[11:25] Gintoki
    an extremely rare analog stick...
[11:27] Gintoki
    No, joystick...and now it's useless! Eh?
[11:31] Shinpachi
    Gin-san, you're too loud.
[11:33] Gintoki
    And what's worse, they changed
    it into a kind of screwdriver
[11:36] Gintoki
    I've never seen before!
    What is that? Huh?
[11:40] Shinpachi
    It's probably a hex socket screwdriver.
[11:42] Gintoki
    Where am I supposed to use this?!
[11:45] Gintoki
    I have no idea!
[11:47] Gintoki
    They could've at least made
    it a Phillips or a flathead!
[11:51] Kagura
    Your stick never had any use, anyway.
[11:55] Kagura
    It would've been better if it had
    corroded and fallen off.
[11:58] Gintoki
    A flathead like you would
    never understand
[11:59] Gintoki
    how a hex socket like me feels!
[12:02] Gintoki
    They won't get away with this...
[12:04] Gintoki
    I'll drag them out of cyberspace and
    tear their analog sticks apart!
[12:09] Gintoki
    I swear...I swear I'll get my stick back.
[12:13] Gintoki
    Let's go, you guys!
[12:15] Shinpachi
    Right!
[12:16] ---
    It's crowded here, so I'll go that way,
[12:19] ---
    and Kagura-chan, you go that way!
[12:20] ---
    We'll meet at the designated place!
[12:21] Kagura
    Roger!
[12:25] Shinpachi (N)
    And so began our battle
    to restore our bodies.

    All right, please create your

[13:43] Shinpachi
    I see. I have to start by creating
[13:47] Shinpachi
    I wonder if Gin-san and
    Kagura are doing okay.
[13:50] ---
    I shouldn't use my real name.
    My avatar needs...
[13:59] Shinpachi
    Oh yes, glasses.
[14:03] ---
    Okay, I'll go with this.
[14:05] ---
    Sure looks like me. How common
    is my appearance?
[14:18] Shinpachi
    Wow, there sure are a lot of people.
[14:22] Shinpachi
    They're all players of this
    game. Awesome.
[14:27] Shinpachi
    Those aliens are definitely
    in here somewhere.
[14:29] Shinpachi
    I'll find them and restore my body!
[14:32] Shinpachi
    Gin-san and Kagura are late. I told
    them to meet me at this spot.
[14:37] Ginko
    Hi.
[14:38] Shinpachi
    Someone approached me.
[14:40] Shinpachi
    It's a girl.
[14:41] Ginko
    Are you a beginner at this game?
[14:44] ---
    I'm a beginner, too.
[14:46] ---
    What do you say? Would you
    like to go hunting with me?
[14:49] Shinpachi
    Wow! She invited me. What'll I do?
[14:52] ---
    What is this awkward feeling?
    It's as if she's asking me out.
[14:55] ---
    What should I do? I feel
    kinda happy, though.
[14:57] ---
    No...but Gin-san and
    Kagura are here, too.
[15:00] ---
    I can't go girl-hunting.
    I don't have a choice.
[15:03] Shinpachi
    I'm sorry. I'm expecting someone.
[15:05] Ginko
    I see. Too bad...
[15:07] ---
    Oh, by the way, I'm in a bind right now.
[15:10] ---
    Would you mind giving me an item?
[15:13] Shinpachi
    I wouldn't mind, but I just started the
    game myself, so I don't have much.
[15:17] Ginko
    That's all right. It's an item everyone has.
[15:20] Gintoki
    Give me your balls!
[15:21] Shinpachi
    Gin-san?!
[15:23] Shinpachi
    Are you still hung up over
    your analog stick?!
[15:25] Gintoki
    Give them to me, I said!
[15:26] Shinpachi
    Hey! He keeps punching
    me in the crotch!
[15:29] Shinpachi
    Stop it! Gin-san, we're
    comrades! Come on!
[15:32] Shinpachi
    This is a game where we
    defeat the monkeys
[15:35] Shinpachi
    and take their items to strengthen
    our armaments!
[15:37] Shinpachi
    What're you trying to take?!
[15:40] Shinpachi
    Shut up, four-eyed monkey!
[15:41] Shinpachi
    You're totally in a "take-your-anger-out-on-anyone" mood, dammit.
[15:43] Shinpachi
    Pisses me off.
[15:45] Shinpachi
    How long are you going to
    feel sorry for yourself?
[15:47] Shinpachi
    You lost your analog stick, so
    now you're an online tranny?!
[15:50] Gintoki
    Are you stupid or something?
[15:52] Gintoki
    I didn't create this avatar because
    I was down on myself.
[15:54] ---
    Listen, we're not here to play around.
[15:57] ---
    We're here to find those
    rotten Amanto, right?
[16:00] Gintoki
    Isn't this form more suitable
    for gathering information
[16:02] Gintoki
    than some shabby dude?
[16:04] Shinpachi
    I see! Just what I'd expect
    of you, Gin-san!
[16:06] Gintoki
    Gamers are gonna be kids who
    are wet behind the ears,
[16:08] Gintoki
    desperate for girls, and stuck
    in a room littered with tissues.
[16:11] Gintoki
    I figure if I went with a sexy
    look, they'd be pushovers.
[16:13] Gintoki
    Now then, time to gather
    some information.
[16:15] Gintoki
    How 'bout this?
[16:16] Gintoki
    Lets look for strong-looking veterans who've
    been playing this game a long time.
[16:22] Shinpachi
    Oh!
[16:24] Shinpachi
    That guy over there looks good.
[16:25] Shinpachi
    He looks really strong.
[16:27] Shinpachi
    He's probably played over 100 hours.
[16:29] Shinpachi
    Excuse me, can I ask you a question?
[16:34] Kagura
    What is it?
[16:35] Shinpachi
    It's you!
[16:36] Gintoki
    That you, Gin-chan?
[16:38] Gintoki
    Why does someone who just started playing
    look like a veteran warrior?
[16:42] Gintoki
    What's that scar on your face?
    Who gave you that?
[16:45] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan, where'd you
    get those fine weapons?
[16:48] Kagura
    I'm a hunter. I get what
    I want from the hunt.
[16:53] Shinpachi
    Hunt? But you just started.
    How did you...?
[16:56] Administrator
    Excuse me.
[16:58] Shinpachi
    I'm sorry. We've already
    formed our party.
[17:01] Shinpachi
    We don't need any more members.
[17:02] Administrator
    No, we're the administrators
    of this game.
[17:06] Administrator
    We received a report that
    a hunter was attacked
[17:09] Administrator
    and stripped of his clothes and equipment
    in a back alley nearby.
[17:12] Administrator
    Do you know anything about it?
[17:15] Gintoki/Kagura
    Ugh!
[17:17] Shinpachi
    Don't rob them!
[17:19] Administrator
    Mmm... Looks Tasty!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Monster Hunter. "Mmm... Looks Tasty!" voice is heard when player barbecues a well-done steak.]
[17:21] Shinpachi
    Don't barbeque him!
[17:22] Shinpachi
    What're you doing?!
[17:24] Shinpachi
    This is a game where you hunt monkeys!
[17:27] Shinpachi
    It's not a game where
    hunters hunt hunters!
[17:29] Kagura
    First-rate hunters aren't picky
    about their targets.
[17:31] Shinpachi
    You guys aren't hunters!
    You're nothing but bandits!
[17:36] Shinpachi
    Ack! Trouble!
[17:37] Shinpachi
    The administrators are trying to oust
    us because we broke the rules!
[17:41] Shinpachi
    If they catch us, we'll never be able
    to play this game again! Run!
[17:51] M
    A very interesting group
    has joined the game.
[18:00] Shinpachi
    What should we do?
SIGN    [Patsuan - Hunter's knife wielder]
[18:02] Shinpachi
    After what we did, we can't
    return to the town.
SIGN    [Ginko - Great sword wielder]
[18:07] Shinpachi
    How're we going to gather information
    about the alien gamers?
[18:10] Shinpachi
    And we're out in a field where
SIGN    [Kaguura Jasuanto - Dual sword wielder]
[18:12] Shinpachi
    there's no telling when the
    monkeys might attack.
[18:16] Shinpachi
    Do you understand? Now that the
    game administrators are after us,
[18:19] Shinpachi
    if we lose and the game ends even once,
[18:21] Shinpachi
    we'll never be able to access
    this game again.
[18:23] Gintoki
    Shut up. I know that.
[18:26] Gintoki
    Kagura, your long sword has been
    bumping against my knees.
[18:30] Gintoki
    It's getting in my way.
[18:32] Kagura
    I'm not Kagura. I'm Kaguura Jasuanto.
SIGN    [Note: Probably a wordplay on Giant from André the Giant.]
[18:34] Gintoki
    What's a Kaguura Jasuanto?
[18:37] Gintoki
    Are you serious?
[18:39] Gintoki
    Sounds like a name a middle-schooler
    would think of.
[18:41] Gintoki
    That's totally the failure pattern
[18:43] Gintoki
    of a novice sending in their entry
    to a manga competition.
[18:45] Gintoki
    You know, the way they over-think
    things to the point where
[18:47] Gintoki
    the readers can't remember
    the name of the characters.
[18:49] Kagura
    Shut up, Mr. No-balls!
[18:51] Gintoki
    What do you mean "Mr.
    No-balls"?! Huh?!
[18:53] Gintoki
    I swear I'll restore my body
    to the way it was!
[18:57] Shinpachi
    Come on, both you-stop it.
[19:00] Shinpachi
    Anyway, since we can't go back to town,
[19:01] Shinpachi
    we have no choice but to
    keep moving forward.
[19:04] Shinpachi
    We'll keep hunting to the very end.
[19:07] Gintoki
    Hunt?
[19:08] Shinpachi
    That's right. This is a game where the
    players enjoy hunting the enemy.
[19:12] Shinpachi
    If we go to a high-level area, we'll
    find equally high-level hunters.
[19:16] Shinpachi
    In other words, we'll be able
    to meet all kinds of people
[19:18] Shinpachi
    who've played this game
    for tons of hours.
[19:22] Shinpachi
    We're bound to find hunters who
    know about the alien Gamers.
[19:26] Gintoki
    Hey, aren't you the one who said
    we're done for if the game ends?
[19:30] Shinpachi
    Then we should become allies
    with the hunters we meet.
[19:34] Shinpachi
    We'll get information, and kill
    two birds with one stone.
[19:36] Shinpachi
    And if all goes well, we might even
    bump into the alien Gamers.
[19:41] Shinpachi
    Yes! We should start by making allies.
[19:56] Gintoki
    Excuse me. We're novices at this game.
[20:02] Gintoki
    Won't you play with us?
[20:04] Shinpachi
    Not that one! That's the enemy!
[20:09] Shinpachi
    Run!
[20:11] Shinpachi
    Hurry! Hurry!
[20:13] Shinpachi
    Gin-san! What item do we
    need to get past him?
[20:16] Gintoki
    This was amongst the things we
    took from the security squad!
[20:20] Shinpachi
    A tainted banana?!
SIGN    [Note: Parody of Tainted Meat from Monster Hunter.]
[20:21] Shinpachi
    I get it-if we throw this at the
    monkey and get him to eat it,
[20:24] Shinpachi
    he'll be paralyzed.
[20:27] Gintoki
    Okay, here!
[20:28] Gintoki
    Eat this!
SIGN    [Note: Now Loading background is a parody of Monster Hunter.]
[20:35] Shinpachi
    Why'd you eat it?!
[20:38] Kagura
    It was a trap.
[20:39] Shinpachi
    It's not a trap for you! It's a
    trap meant for the beast!
[20:42] Kagura
    Never mind me. Go quickly.
[20:45] ---
    Become a good...hunter...
[20:50] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan!
[20:52] Shinpachi
    Gin-san, at this rate, the game is
    going to end for Kagura-chan.
[20:55] Shinpachi
    Lure the enemy this way.
[20:57] Gintoki
    What's that...?!
[20:58] Shinpachi
    A pit. We'll use these bananas
    as bait and then pummel him.
[21:02] Gintoki
    Over here, you stupid monkey!
    Come here! That's it!
[21:04] Shinpachi
    Yeah, we're right here!
[21:08] Shinpachi
    What are you doing here?!
[21:12] Shinpachi
    How'd you get here when
    you're paralyzed?!
[21:14] Kagura
    What is this obsession you
    have with bananas?!
[21:17] Gintoki
    At least in the game I get to eat my fill.
[21:19] Gintoki
    What a sorry thing to say.
    You make me wanna cry!
[21:22] Gintoki
    I'm sorry...it's all my fault.
    I'm so sorry.
[21:24] Shinpachi
    Gin-san! The enemy!
[21:39] Shinpachi
    Who's that...?
SIGN    [Teach us!! Ginpachi Sensei Encore]
[23:27] All
    Teach us!

    Ginpachi Sensei
[23:31] Gintoki
    This time, we have a question
    from pen name
[23:34] Gintoki
    "I can't watch in real time in Shizuoka city, so
    I buy the DVDs and watch them instead."
[23:39] ---
    "Who is the person that brush paints
    the titles for each episode?
[23:43] ---
    I looked in the credits
    but couldn't find him.
[23:45] ---
    They're beautifully written!"
[23:47] ---
    Okay, here's your answer.
[23:49] Gintoki
    They're painted by a producer
    at Sunrise named Wakanabe.
[23:53] Gintoki
    He studied calligraphy
    when he was younger,
[23:56] Gintoki
    but then drank too much liquor.
[23:57] Gintoki
    That's why he can't write
    the titles in a straight line.
[23:59] Gintoki
    Just FYI, he says he wouldn't mind
    getting a hug from Joe Odagiri.
SIGN    [Note: Joe Odagiri is a popular young actor.]
SIGN    [Correct: "There's a Thin Line Between Strengths and Weaknesses"]
[24:03] Gintoki
    In the preview for episode 102, he
    made a mischievous mistake.
SIGN    [Incorrect: Good Points and Bad Points Are Hard to See]
[24:10] Gintoki
    Okay, Wakanabe,
[24:11] Gintoki
    so you don't get bigheaded because
    someone praised your calligraphy,
[24:13] Gintoki
    go and stand out in the hall!
SIGN    
[24:16] Kagura
    Yo! Kaguura Jasuanto here.
[24:18] ---
    Next time, the sad story behind
    the scar on my face and
[24:21] ---
    the cursed bloodline that became
[24:23] ---
    the reason for this journey of
    revenge will be revealed!
[24:25] Gintoki
    No, it won't!
[24:27] Gintoki
    The next episode... "Imagination
    Is Nurtured In the 8th Grade."
