[01:37] Urara
    What's with this pose!
[01:40] Urara
    But he's pretty cute.
[01:42] Urara
    And he's about your age,
    Sis. That's terrific.
[01:47] Sister
    Urara... I have to apologize to you.
[01:54] Sister
    A-Actually, when I sent that letter,
    I put your picture inside the bottle.
[02:00] Urara
    What? My picture? Why?
[02:03] Sister
    Because you're so cute.
[02:06] Sister
    I thought if anyone saw your
    picture, they'd be sure to reply.
[02:12] Sister
    I'm so sorry!
[02:14] Urara
    Why'd you do such a thing? Why
    didn't you include your own photo?
[02:18] Sister
    I couldn't! No one would take me seriously.
[02:22] Sister
    The reply came all because of your picture.
[02:28] Urara
    Be more confident! You're
    pretty, Sis! And so am I.
[02:36] Urara
    Okay then, if I've made a
    new friend, I'll forgive you.
[02:39] Urara
    You're going to change
    this time, right, Sis?
[02:45] Urara
    Take it slow, but do your best, Sis.

[02:58] Omittedgintoki
    I didn't think this letter would reach
    anyone, so I'm very happy.
[03:02] ---
    I'd like to get to know
    you better, Shinpachi.
[03:06] Gintoki
    Hey, you did it. She wants
    to get to know you better.
[03:10] ---
    She's totally into this. So what'll you do?
[03:13] ---
    Will you tell her everything?
[03:16] Shinpachi
    But, Gin... The picture I sent to her...
[03:21] ---
    Maybe it's not me she wants
    to get to know, but Okita.
[03:26] ---
    If I said, "This is Shinpachi Shimura,"
[03:29] ---
    wouldn't anyone looking at the photo
    assume that I meant Okita?
[03:33] Gintoki
    Don't worry. You're in the
    picture. And you look good.
[03:36] Shinpachi
    But half of me is out of the frame!
    I'm the one being slain!
[03:41] Gintoki
    If you want to be considered the lover
    here, then that's the perfect pose.
[03:46] Gintoki
    We didn't tell any lies. And if she misinterprets
    things, that's not our fault.
[03:54] Shinpachi
    Anyone looking at this
    would misinterpret it!
[03:57] Gintoki
    But we've passed the first hurdle
    in getting her to reply.
[04:01] Kondo
    So naive.
[04:03] Kondo
    The first gate? That's way off.
[04:06] Kondo
    You guys aren't even in front of the gate.
[04:09] Shinpachi
    I don't need to hear that from someone
    who can't even get through the gate!
[04:13] Kondo
    Don't say anything, Shinpachi.
[04:15] Kondo
    I know pretty much what's been
    happening these past few days.
[04:17] Shinpachi
    How do you know?! Okita
    was here looking for you!
[04:20] Shinpachi
    How long have you been there?!
[04:22] Kondo
    If it's matters of the heart, why didn't
    you come to me, Kondo the expert?!
[04:26] Shinpachi
    You're the expert of harassment!
[04:27] Shinpachi
    Besides, I've never seen
    a dirtier expert at love!
[04:31] Kondo
    Right! To capture love, you get
    down and dirty without giving up!
[04:34] Shinpachi
    Give it up! Please, I'm
    begging you! Give it up!
[04:38] Kondo
    Letters, huh? Brings back memories.
[04:40] Kondo
    I used to correspond a lot.
[04:42] Kondo
    I'd get so nervous each time a letter came.
[04:45] Kondo
    I can't remember how many times
    I went to make payments.
[04:47] Shinpachi
    That wasn't correspondence! Those were
    bills for the crap you signed up for!
[04:49] Kondo
    Was not! I remember it in my heart!
[04:51] Shinpachi
    So you did go on an adult site?!
[04:54] Kondo
    Shinpachi, a guy like him who's only
    experience in love is in the gutter
[04:58] Kondo
    can't know anything about writing letters.
[05:00] ---
    Let me, your future brother-in-law,
    handle it!
[05:03] Gintoki
    How dare you?!
[05:04] Gintoki
    The only experience you have
    in love is paid sex. So don't talk!
[05:08] Kondo
    Well then, let me ask. What
    are you going to do now?
[05:12] Kondo
    The girl has begun to take
    an interest in Shinpachi.
[05:15] Kondo
    So what should he say?
[05:17] Kondo
    For example!
[05:19] Narrator
    I work part-time at an Odd Jobs in Edo.
[05:23] Narrator
    I'm always poor and my hobby
    is chasing after pop idols.
[05:26] Kondo
    How can you be popular with that?!
[05:28] Kondo
    Odd Jobs is no place to work!
    And chasing pop idols is weird!
[05:32] Gintoki
    You should talk, when you can't
    even make it with women!
[05:35] Gintoki
    There's nothing wrong with Odd Jobs!
[05:36] Shinpachi
    Yeah! And what's wrong
    with chasing pop idols?!
[05:39] Shinpachi
    It's better than stalking a
    woman who hates you!
[05:41] Kondo
    Well then, let me ask you. Are
    you popular with girls now?
[05:45] Kondo
    No, right? Naturally!
[05:46] Kondo
    If you write honestly about
    your current lifestyle,
[05:50] Kondo
    what woman would be interested?!
[05:52] Shinpachi
    Then are you suggesting we lie?!
[05:54] Gintoki
    We may have tinkered with the
    facts a little, but we haven't lied!
[05:58] Kondo
    Lie? As if I'd suggest anything
    that's against the samurai code.
[06:01] Kondo
    However, changing the
    way the sentence reads
[06:04] Kondo
    can greatly enhance the
    impression it creates.
[06:06] Kondo
    For example...
[06:10] Narrator
    I train every day under a samurai named Gin
    in hopes of learning the Way of the Samurai.
[06:16] Narrator
    My hobby is music.
[06:18] Narrator
    It's the one thing that I don't
    mind opening my wallet for.
[06:21] Narrator
    But as a result, I'm always
    a little short on cash.
[06:24] Gintoki
    The content is still the same as before,
    but the impact is vastly different.
[06:28] Kondo
    There's more.
[06:30] Narrator
    My dream is to revive
    my family's sword dojo.
[06:34] Narrator
    My sister has been doing her best
    to support me and my dream.
[06:38] Narrator
    My sister is a fine woman, beautiful, gentle,
[06:42] Narrator
    and if I were to marry, she's the
    kind of woman I'd like to find.
[06:47] Narrator
    Lately, her beauty shines even more, and even
    I, her younger brother, am dazzled by it.
[06:53] Narrator
    In a word, her beauty is like a single flower.
[06:56] Narrator
    So delicate, it's as though
    it would fall if touched,
[06:59] Narrator
    but at the same time, it has a strength
    that makes it unbreakable.
[07:04] Narrator
    What is even more amazing is
    that even with all that beauty,
[07:08] Narrator
    she remains down-to-earth. Her spirit
    remains pure and she glows.
[07:15] Narrator
    Is this a miracle?
[07:16] Narrator
    No, it is not. It is she herself
    that is the miracle.
[07:21] Narrator
    And this beauty that we behold is a petite-miracle,
    which was borne from the miracle that she is.
[07:27] Xxkondo
    And even more amazing, my sister...
[07:29] Shinpachi
    Too long!
[07:30] Shinpachi
    Must you go on and on
    and on about my sister?
[07:32] Shinpachi
    As her brother, it makes me wanna puke!
[07:34] Shinpachi
    You said change the point of view,
    but now it's all your point of view!
[07:37] Shinpachi
    Undoubtedly, even in my words,
    my sister's existence is essential.
[07:41] Shinpachi
    But you have to make it more
    concise, or it loses its purpose!
[07:45] Kondo
    I see. Oh well. I'll swallow my tears
    and cut it down to one sentence.
[07:52] Narrator
    She turns me on.
[07:53] Shinpachi
    What kind of kid brother is that?!
[07:54] Shinpachi
    Like I said, it's all your feelings!
    By the way, is that all you feel?!
[07:59] Kondo
    Please don't tell your sister.
[08:01] Shinpachi
    As if I could!
[08:02] Gintoki
    Say, let's just cut your sister
    out of this already.
[08:05] Gintoki
    Having an older sister has
    absolutely no merits.
[08:09] Gintoki
    Ultimately, she could be the sister-in-law.
[08:11] Gintoki
    Let's eliminate all negative keywords.
    Just write about what works.
[08:16] Narrator
    Under the guidance of
    a samurai named Gin,
[08:19] Narrator
    I get turned on every day and night.
[08:21] Shinpachi
    Get rid of "turned on"!
[08:22] Shinpachi
    The most negative keyword
    is still being used!
[08:24] Shinpachi
    What's this "turned on
    every day and night"?!
[08:26] ---
    It sounds like I'm like that all year long!
[08:28] Gintoki
    I get turned on during the weekends.
[08:30] Shinpachi
    "Weekends" is fine, but delete "turned on"!
[08:32] Shinpachi
    Enough already! Use the first
    half, and forget the rest!
[08:36] Shinpachi
    Forget...
[08:42] Shinpachi
    You... Urara ...
[08:46] Shinpachi
    What is your life like?
[08:50] Chanzou Sebasu
    Miss, the ocean air is not good for you.
[08:54] Sister
    It's all right. Please leave it open.
[08:58] Sister (M)
    So you have an older sister too, Shinpachi.
[09:01] Sister (M)
    I have one older sister. But unlike
    yours, my sister is very weak.
[09:09] Sister (M)
    She has been sickly since she was a child
[09:13] Sister (M)
    and spent most of her time
    indoors, always alone.
[09:15] Sister (M)
    So, she's very shy
[09:18] Sister (M)
    and even though her health is better,
    she's not comfortable around others.
[09:22] Sister (M)
    The only ones she's able to talk to freely
    are myself and our butler, Chanzo Sebasu.
[09:29] Sister (M)
    And on the rare days she does go outside,
[09:31] Sister (M)
    she gazes out at the ocean
    towards far off lands.
[09:36] Sister (M)
    She's unable to cast off the shell
    she has built around herself.
[09:41] Sister (M)
    What do you think about a sister like that?
[09:44] Kondo
    Hey, she really latched onto the topic of
    an older sister. More than we expected.
[09:48] Shinpachi
    She didn't write a thing about herself.
[09:50] Gintoki
    Didn't I tell you? To leave out
    writing about your sister?
[09:55] Gintoki
    What's the use of exchanging
    notes about your sisters?!
[09:59] Gintoki
    Get the subject back to yourself!
[10:00] Kondo
    But you can't just change the subject.
[10:02] Kondo
    This is her dear older sister.
[10:04] Kondo
    You have to do a follow-up, then
    gently change the subject.
[10:08] Shinpachi
    So how would I follow up?
[10:10] Hijikata
    Oh, so you're here, after all.
[10:14] Hijikata
    Kondo, get your act together, will you?
[10:16] Hijikata
    You slack off from work
    and go roaming around.
[10:20] Hijikata
    Can you put yourself in my place
    trying to follow-up for you?
[10:23] Kondo
    Perfect timing! Toshiro Hijikata,
    the follow-up man!
[10:27] Kondo
    He handles all the problem kids and
    follows up with them every day.
[10:31] Kondo
    With Toshi, there's nothing
    he can't follow-up!
[10:33] Hijikata
    What are you talking about?
[10:35] Kondo
    Read this, Toshi-follow!
[10:37] Hijikata
    Cut the Toshi-follow! It's Toshiro!
    And why should I?
[10:40] Shinpachi
    Please read it, Follow-kata!
[10:42] Hijikata
    Get your names straight!
    Nothing makes sense!
[10:46] Hijikata
    Hey Four-eyes, what do
    you see in this woman?
[10:50] Hijikata
    I'm telling you, she's a Type bleep.
[10:53] Shinpachi
    Type bleep?
[10:54] Hijikata
    Type bleep women are willful
    and never listen to others.
SIGN    
[10:58] Hijikata
    She talks only about herself and monopolizes
    the conversation, then thinks it's going well.
[11:04] Hijikata
    If you don't do the proper follow-up,
    she'll talk on and on forever.
[11:09] Hijikata
    And yet, she won't listen even if
    you force another subject on her.
[11:13] Hijikata
    This really needs to be handled properly.
[11:15] Gintoki
    So what? You got something
    against Type bleep women?
[11:19] Hijikata
    No!
[11:20] Kondo
    Toshi, are you still stuck on that?
[11:22] Hijikata
    Never mind that!
[11:24] Shinpachi
    It's different with someone
    who's popular with women.
[11:27] Shinpachi
    You give good advice, bleep-kata!
[11:29] Hijikata
    Stop calling me by all
    those different names!
[11:31] Gintoki
    Type Peep will find that you can't get
    much done today, but hang in there.
[11:35] Kondo
    Type piip might get caught
    in a sudden shower.
[11:37] Kondo
    Don't forget your umbrellas
    when you go out.
[11:39] Hijikata
    That's just fortune-telling! Besides,
    why would it only rain on Type piip?!
[11:42] Gintoki
    In any case, what we need is a miraculous
    follow-up that has a finality,
[11:46] Gintoki
    then we naturally switch subjects,
    being careful not to hurt her.
[11:50] Ginitoki
    That's a cinch. Just leave it to me.
[11:56] Gintoki Narration
    It pains my heart to think about your sister.
[12:00] Gintoki Narration
    But I'm sure your sister understands
    your concerns.
[12:05] Narration
    I know that one day, her heart will open up.
[12:09] Narration
    Speaking of opening up, when will you
    open up your legs for me, Urara?
[12:13] Shinpachi
    That's not natural!
[12:15] Shinpachi
    What kind of subject are
    you trying to introduce?!
[12:17] Shinpachi
    Even a caveman knows
    how to be more delicate!
[12:20] Gintoki
    In love, we all return to
    our primeval selves.
[12:23] Shinpachi
    You can return by yourself.
    And never come back!
[12:25] Kondo
    This is ridiculous! There's no follow-up!
[12:28] Kondo
    It's so flimsy! You're not thinking
    seriously about the sister here.
[12:35] Kondo Narration
    When I think about your sister...
[12:39] Narration
    I get turned on.
[12:40] Shinpachi
    There's no distinction with that!
[12:42] Shinpachi
    That's not a follow-up. You're
    only thinking about my sister!
[12:44] Shinpachi
    Even an amoeba can do better than that!
[12:47] Kondo
    Everyone gets gooey in love.
[12:49] Shinpachi
    It's the inside of your head that's gooey!
[12:54] Shinpachi
    Hijikata ...
[12:57] Hijikata
    Oh well, I have no choice.
[13:00] Hijikata Narration
    You seem to be very concerned
    about your sister.
[13:04] Hijikata Narration
    But I don't think you need to be.
[13:06] Narration
    I can't feel sorry for your sister, nor do
    I have words of encouragement for her.
[13:12] Narration
    After all, she does have a friend.
[13:16] Narration
    Me.
[13:19] Xxhijikata Narration
    I will be your sister's friend.
[13:21] Xxhijikata Narration
    If she's unable to break out of her shell,
    then I will come to break it for her.
[13:25] Kondo
    We say we'll release her, then we do
    an ultra-dreadnought of a follow-up!
[13:29] Shinpachi
    And with that follow-up, we nonchalantly
    arrange to meet!
[13:31] Hijikata Narration
    Please let me meet your sister.
[13:34] Hijikata Narration
    Oh, please forgive me for
    bringing it up so suddenly.
[13:37] Narration
    I've said some noble things. But
    actually, I'm not such a great guy.
[13:42] Narration
    After all, I...I just...I just...
[13:47] Narration
    want to meet you.
[13:50] Shinpachi
    There's the follow-up! We followed
    up with Urara at the end!
[13:53] Hijikata
    It's not the end. We erase this
    part. And now it's the end!
[14:00] Shinpachi
    You erased it?! The line about
    wanting to meet her?! Why?!
[14:05] Kondo
    I-Is it because a youth like Shinpachi
    would be too shy to ask to meet her?
[14:12] Gintoki
    So! It's a put-on that after he writes it,
    he realizes he's too shy, then erases it.
[14:19] Kondo
    You even followed up with Shinpachi!
[14:21] Shinpachi
    It's perfect!
[14:22] Gintoki
    It's done! So this is known as...
[14:25] Kondo Et Al
    the Follow-kata Toshi-follow!
[14:29] Hijikata
    Send it immediately.
[14:30] Shinpachi
    Yes! Thank you!
[14:37] Gintoki
    Hey, guys,
[14:40] Gintoki
    I'm not gonna thank you.
[14:43] Kondo
    No problem.
[14:44] Kondo
    Every man goes down this path.
[15:06] Hijikata(M)
    Oops...
[15:07] Hijikata(M)
    I forgot to erase the line Kondo wrote.
SIGN    [When I think about your sister, I get turned on.]
[15:20] Urara
    How creepy! This guy gets turned on?!
[15:24] Urara
    Sis, forget this. No more corresponding!
[15:27] Urara
    Sister?
[15:28] Urara
    Say, what's the matter?
[15:31] Sister
    It's strange.
[15:33] Sister
    Every time he writes, the letters seem
    like they're from a different person.
[15:38] Sister
    As though he's someone
    with multiple personalities.
[15:42] Sister
    I've never had a friend, and all at once,
[15:46] Sister
    I feel like I have many friends.
[15:49] Urara
    What are you saying, Sis?
[15:50] Urara
    He's just a weirdo.
[15:52] Sister
    And, I've been writing as if I was you.
[15:58] Sister
    Yet he says he wants to help me.
[16:02] Sister
    That he gets turned on.
[16:04] Urara
    Sister! Do you even know what that
    means? Getting turned on means...
[16:08] Sister
    ...want to meet him.
[16:11] Sister
    I...
[16:14] Sister
    I want to try meeting him.
[16:18] Shinpachi
    Gin-san! Hey, take a look at this letter!
[16:22] Gintoki
    This is bad. I want nothing
    to do with it. Nothing.
[16:25] Kondo
    Me neither! It's Toshi. It's all Toshi's fault!
[16:28] Hijikata
    You're the one who started this,
    Kondo. It's not my problem!
[16:31] Shinpachi
    I did it! I finally did it!
[16:34] Shinpachi
    Urara wants to meet me!
[16:41] Hijikata
    I'm so happy that you're concerned about
    my sister as though she's your own sister.
[16:46] Kondo
    I would love for you and my sister to meet.
[16:50] Gintoki
    I'll be going to Edo with her,
    so let's definitely meet.
[16:54] Shinpachi
    Wow, I never imagined I'd
    get to meet her so soon.
[16:57] Shinpachi
    I guess it's really worth trying.
[16:59] Shinpachi
    Thank you so much everyone.
[17:02] Shinpachi
    One should always have a senpai who
    can teach you about life. Really.
[17:06] Gintoki
    Hey, what's it mean?
[17:08] Gintoki
    She received a letter like that
    and she wants to meet up.
[17:13] Gintoki
    Does it mean? No way!
[17:17] Hijikata Et All
    She's turned on, too?!
[17:19] Kondo
    Absolutely not!
[17:22] Shinpachi
    Kondo! What're you doing?!
[17:24] Kondo
    No way! 16 years old and turned on?!
[17:27] Kondo
    I will not allow it. As a brother!
[17:29] Shinpachi
    You're not my brother! Besides, you're
    the one who's turned on the most!
[17:33] Kondo
    When you're over 20. Get
    turned on all you want!
[17:36] Hijikata
    Say, but you were horny even
    before you turned 20.
[17:38] Kondo
    I will not allow it!
[17:40] Gintoki
    What'll we do about this?
[17:46] Omittedurara
    Sister! You can't! Not after
    we came all this way!
[17:49] Sister
    Urara, stop! I really don't want to. Really!
[17:53] Urara
    What are you saying?! You're the
    one who said you want to meet him!
[17:56] Sister
    I'll be satisfied if I can just get
    a glimpse of Shinpachi's face.
[17:59] Sister
    I'll watch from the shadows,
    so you go, Urara!
[18:02] Urara
    That's just pointless! Why did you begin
    corresponding in the first place, Sis?!
[18:07] ---
    In order to change yourself,
    right? To make friends, right?
[18:11] Sister
    B-But he thinks you're his writing partner.
[18:16] Sister
    If I go, he'll only be disappointed.
[18:20] Urara
    There you go again, running away!
[18:22] Urara
    You're just scared of getting involved
    with people. Of being hurt!
[18:27] Urara
    And if you don't change that about
    you, you'll always be alone!
[18:35] Urara
    You'll be fine. Have confidence, Sis.
[18:40] ---
    You're very pretty.
[18:42] Urara
    And why wouldn't you be?
[18:44] Urara
    After all, you're my sister.
[18:48] Urara
    So don't try to put on airs and
    be something you're not.
[18:53] Urara
    Just be natural.
[18:55] Urara
    You're wonderful just the way you are.
[18:59] Sister
    Natural.
[19:00] Urara
    Yes. You get nervous because you
    try to be someone you're not.
[19:05] Urara
    Just be yourself, do what you feel, be
    true to who you are. Just act natural.
[19:12] Sister (M)
    Do what I feel?
[19:16] Sister (M)
    Like leaving!
[19:17] Urara
    Sis!
[19:18] Urara
    Darn it! For Sis, leaving
    is what comes naturally!
[19:22] ---
    Wait, Sis!
[19:24] Okita
    Excuse me. Are you Urara?
[19:27] Okita
    Hello, I'm Shinpachi Shimura.
[19:34] Shinpachi
    Hey, why...
[19:36] Shinpachi
    Why's Okita on a date
    with her in my place?!
[19:39] Gintoki
    Now, now, calm down, Pachi.
[19:42] Gintoki
    He'll pull it off nicely.
[19:44] Shinpachi
    He doesn't have to pull it off!
[19:46] Shinpachi
    I finally got a date! How come a stranger
    gets to enjoy the best part?!
[19:51] Gintoki
    He's no stranger. He's Shinpachi.
[19:53] Gintoki
    Remember. To her, he's Shinpachi.
    Did you forget?
[19:58] Shinpachi
    That's because you sent
    that complicated photo!
[20:01] Gintoki
    But it's also because of this
    photo that she wrote back.
[20:05] Shinpachi
    S-Still, I've written diligently to her.
    So what was the purpose of it all?
[20:11] Gintoki
    Who says it's going to continue like this?
[20:13] Shinpachi
    Huh?! Then I'm going to
    go out there and confess!
[20:16] Shinpachi
    I'm supposed to go out in
    this situation and tell her,
[20:18] Shinpachi
    "Actually, I'm the one
    who wrote the letters"!
[20:20] Gintoki
    Calm down. If you go out there
    now, you'll just lose to Okita.
[20:24] Gintoki
    There's nothing to be gained from that.
[20:26] ---
    The difference between you two is like the
    difference between the moon and turtle crap.
[20:28] Shinpachi
    Just turtle will do.
[20:29] Gintoki
    Or like Ken and the crap from his crap.
SIGN    
[20:32] Shinpachi
    How about just crap? No, never mind.
[20:35] Ginitoki
    In other words, even if you reveal yourself,
[20:37] Ginitoki
    it has to be done under the right circumstances
    or it won't work at all.
[20:40] ---
    Look, if Ken's crap was
    on the railway track,
[20:42] ---
    even it could pass for Poppoya,
    the rail master.
[20:45] Shinpachi
    Not! Don't be so rude!
[20:47] Gintoki
    You want to look clumsy.
[20:48] Shinpachi
    I'd say I'm pretty deft. Crapping on
    the tracks between trains passing.
[20:51] Gintoki
    Anyway, Okita's gonna
    play a bad role here.
[20:55] Gintoki
    He's your arch-rival.
[20:58] Gintoki
    And one day, he discovers that you're
    going to correspond with a pretty girl.
[21:02] Gintoki
    He decides to take her away from you
    and crumples up that first letter you wrote
[21:02] Urara
    Oh no!
[21:07] Gintoki
    and sends his own photo instead.
[21:10] Gintoki
    Later, he bides his time until you and Urara
    have formed a bond and promise to meet.
[21:15] Gintoki
    And he waits for that moment!
[21:16] Gintoki
    However, who should appear but Poppoya!
[21:21] Shinpachi
    Isn't that a bit too cliché?
    Are you sure it'll work?
[21:23] Okita
    It's actually worse over here than a novel.
[21:26] Shinpachi
    O-Okita?
[21:28] Okita
    I think that'll be simple enough. I'm not
    good at remembering difficult things.
[21:34] Shinpachi
    Are you sure, Okita? You
    don't mind doing this?
[21:37] Okita
    Well, I owe Gin.
[21:39] Okita
    On top of which, Kondo just issued
    a new set of rules for us.
[21:44] ---
    Article 46, Hate Odd Jobs.
[21:47] ---
    However, be kind only to Shinpachi.
    Otherwise, it's harakiri.
[21:51] Shinpachi
    That sounds awful. He's
    really getting ambitious.
[21:54] Okita
    Oh yeah, there's a bit of a problem.
[21:57] Okita
    Seems the girl came to Edo with her sister,
[22:01] Okita
    but that sister's gone missing.
    And she's pretty nervous.
[22:05] Shinpachi
    Sister? The one mentioned in the letter?
[22:08] Okita
    What do you want me to do? There's
    no way I can seduce the girl.
[22:11] Gintoki
    Sis? It's easier to woo a woman
    when there's no sibling around.
[22:15] Gintoki
    It's your chance. Just tell her you called
    the police or whatever and go on a date.
[22:19] Okita
    Say, but I am the police.
[22:22] Gintoki
    You take a woman when she's worried,
    drunk or on her graduation.
[22:27] Gintoki
    That's the usual. Right, Shinpachi?
[22:32] Sister
    Excuse me.
[22:34] Sister
    Sh-Shinpachi? Did you just say Shinpachi?
SIGN    [To be continued]
[24:16] Sister/Shinpachi
    The next episode...
[24:17] Sister/Shinpachi
    "Sometimes You Can't Tell
    Just By Meeting Someone."
SIGN    [Finally these two meet: Shinpachi and the sister.]
