[00:01] Kagura
    Boy, the year's already over, huh?
[00:04] Gin
    Sure was fast.
[00:05] Gin
    I hate how the years go by faster as we get older.
[00:11] Gin
    At this rate, by the time I'm an old geezer,
[00:16] Gin
    the years will pass at the speed of a Formula 1 car.
[00:18] Kagura
    I've still got a long ways to go.
[00:22] Gin
    Well, I'm already up to Ben Johnson speed, I'd say.
[00:28] Gin
    My Ben Johnson is already up to here.
SIGN    [Note: In Japanese, Ben also refers to Poop. So here Gin is referring to his incontinence.]
[00:30] Gin
    Don't get too cocky because you're all still young.
[00:33] Gin
    Your Ben Johnson will fall behind soon enough.
[00:34] Kagura
    For real?
[00:36] Kagura
    Ben Johnson's gonna fall out?
[00:37] Kagura
    I prefer Carl Lewis over Ben Johnson.
[00:39] Kagura
    He's cooler.
[00:41] Gin
    Well, all I'm saying is, we all had a pretty good year, right?
[00:49] Shinpachi
    Hell no!
[00:51] Shinpachi
    It's still February!
[00:52] Shinpachi
    And didn't we have the exact same conversation last year?!
[00:55] Gin
    That's 'cause this whole segment was recycled.
[00:58] Kagura
    Yeah.
[00:59] Kagura
    Not just the lines, but also the video's the same too.
[01:02] Shinpachi
    That's even more of a half-assed job!
[01:05] Gin
    They've been working hard on this anime.
[01:08] Gin
    But you know...
[01:09] Gin
    Once we got into the Yoshiwara arc, it's been battle after battle every week.
[01:12] Gin
    Not that I really mind since it's all cool like a real JUMP anime,
[01:15] Gin
    but the staff was like...
[01:18] Gin
    "If we don't throw in a little break, we're going to go over budget."
[01:23] Shinpachi
    I keep telling you...
[01:24] Shinpachi
    Stop talking about money on TV.
[01:26] Gin
    I mean, it's ridiculous to ask for the same number of battles as "XXX" when we only have half the budget.
[01:32] Gin
    Our budget was set on the premise that there would be loads of talking.
[01:37] Gin
    We're in our fourth year while running the original production costs,
[01:41] Gin
    and we're still using a 4:3 aspect ratio.
[01:45] Kagura
    That's perfect for our piece of crap TV.
[01:49] Gin
    We live in a time where there's Hi-Vision and Blu-ray.
SIGN    [Note: Hi-Vision is the Japanese equivalent to Hi-Def.]
[01:53] Gin
    Who makes anime that isn't 16:9 these days?
[01:56] Shinpachi
    Hold it, did you just say "our fourth year"?
[01:59] Shinpachi
    Wasn't this show supposed to end in March?
[02:02] Gin
    Season 3 ends in March.
[02:04] Gin
    And then Season 4 starts in April.
[02:08] Gin
    Man, I was hoping for something like "Mito Komon" where every time a season ended,
SIGN    [Note: These terms refers to classic Samurai TV shows that have a break between seasons.]
[02:12] Gin
    they threw in "Ohoka Echizen" or "Edo wo Kiru" until the next season started.
[02:14] Gin
    If we alternated like that, we could get up to thirty-nine seasons...
[02:17] Shinpachi
    Like hell, we could!
[02:18] Shinpachi
    And did you all trick me?!
[02:20] Shinpachi
    You're telling me that whole "Final Chapter" crap was really Season 3?!
[02:22] Shinpachi
    What kind of series finale scam is this?!
[02:24] Shinpachi
    Anyone would be fooled!!
[02:25] Kagura
    Our "Mito Komon style production" plan failed.
[02:29] Gin
    And here we carefully planned out this anime to be a long-running series...
[02:32] Gin
    under the assumption that the manga would run for over three decades!
[02:35] Gin
    Besides, thanks to you guys falling for this kind of marketing covers,
[02:38] Gin
    and buying all our DVDs, our original plan got all screwed!!
[02:41] Shinpachi
    Hey! Hey!! HEY!!! Who the hell are you complaining to?!
[02:44] Gin
    Stop buying DVDs, people.
[02:47] Gin
    And so, since our plan for a long-running series with a short break every season has failed,
[02:53] Gin
    the Gin Tama anime will take an alternate route in its fourth year!
[02:58] Both
    Alternate route?
[03:00] Gin
    When an anime catches up to a manga that's still running,
[03:03] Gin
    it must take a roundabout path to stay within reach of the manga before it can rejoin the manga.
[03:10] Gin
    However, there are a number of risks.
[03:13] Gin
    The anime could buy enough time for the manga to move on, only to be canceled.
[03:18] Gin
    Or the manga ends right when the anime's about to rejoin.
[03:23] Gin
    Or the anime and manga rejoin too early, and the anime has to diverge again in no time.
[03:28] Gin
    Or in the process of diverging,
[03:30] Gin
    the characters or setting in the anime become so different,
[03:33] Gin
    that they can never rejoin again.
[03:38] Gin
    Well, that's when they shamelessly remake the anime from the beginning again.
[03:42] Gin
    Or they use the same characters to make a totally different anime.
[03:47] Shinpachi
    But Gin Tama doesn't have that big of a storyline.
[03:51] Shinpachi
    Wouldn't it be hard to make an alternative route?
[03:54] Kagura
    Yeah, what kind of alternative route is Gin Tama going to use?
[03:58] Gin
    That would be...
[03:59] Shinpachi
    That would be?
[04:01] Gin
    That would be...
[04:08] Gin
    We bought ourselves four minutes today.
[05:50] Hyakkaa
    We won't let you go to the control room!
[06:19] Kagura
    Damn! One hand short!
[06:24] Kagura
    Good job, Shinpachi!
[06:27] Seita
    Hurry!
[06:28] Seita
    I'm sure it's right up ahead!

[06:37] Tsukuyo
    Go!!
[07:19] Gin
    Don't give him time to fight back.
[07:21] Gin
    Don't let him breathe.
[07:23] Gin
    There won't be another chance...
[07:25] Gin
    If I don't finish him here, I'll lose.
[07:27] Gin
    It ends here!
[07:32] Gin
    This is...
[07:34] Gin
    The end!
[07:45] Hosen
    B-Bastard...
[07:49] Hosen
    You...bastard!!
[07:59] Seita
    Is this it?!
[08:00] Shinpachi
    Seita-kun!
[08:01] Kagura
    Hurry!
SIGN    [Unlock]
[08:18] Seita
    I can also...
[08:20] Hinowa
    We must fight.
[08:22] Hinowa
    We must fight from inside the cage.
[08:24] Hinowa
    If we don't smash through this cage, we'll never obtain true freedom.
[08:29] Hinowa
    Let me fight to the end, Seita.
[08:32] Seita
    Fight!!
[08:40] Tsukuyo
    Fire!
[08:57] Hyakkab
    We finally...did it!
[09:01] Hyakkab
    We defeated Hosen... We finally defeated the King of the Night! We're free!
[09:08] Hyakka
    Now Yoshiwara is... We are...free!
[09:16] Gin
    Not yet!
[09:27] Tsukuyo
    G-Gintoki!
[09:32] Hosen
    Weak! Weak!!
[09:36] Hosen
    You can assemble as many faint rays of light as you want.
[09:40] Hosen
    You still won't be able to dry out the King of the Night!
[09:45] Hosen
    You cannot light up this dark night!
[09:51] Hyakkab
    I-Impossible!
[09:53] Hyakkab
    After all that, he's still...?!
[09:57] Hosen
    You're nothing like the sun.
[10:00] Hosen
    A frail light, like a candle that can be extinguished with a mere blow.
[10:05] Hosen
    That's what you all are!
[10:08] Hosen
    You should have stayed chained to me with eyes of despair.
[10:15] Hosen
    Though I never expected that you are flames to reignite...
[10:20] Hosen
    from the remains of a fire once extinguished by us.
[10:23] Hosen
    I must destroy the source of the fire, that...
[10:26] Hosen
    ...dim light of yours!
[10:33] Gin
    Hold it.
[10:37] Gin
    That's enough.
[10:40] Gin
    My life is enough.
[10:42] Gin
    Save that flare of yours,
[10:45] Gin
    for your cigarettes tomorrow.
[10:48] Hosen
    Is that your so-called "Bushido"?
[10:51] Hosen
    How honorable of you.
[10:54] Hosen
    Offering your own life in exchange for forgiving those women?
[11:01] Hosen
    A futile effort.
[11:02] Hosen
    Once I'm finished with you, the women are next.
[11:06] Gin
    They won't be extinguished, none of them will.
[11:11] Gin
    Even if they're frail candles, if you gather enough, it can still illuminate the darkness.
[11:17] Gin
    Even if some are extinguished, as long as one remains lit, the rest can be re-lit.
[11:25] Gin
    You can't blow out my flame.
[11:30] Gin
    It's useless, no matter how hard you blow.
[11:34] Gin
    I have a special lighter with me.
[11:37] Gin
    I've got a lighter that can never be extinguished.
[11:40] Gin
    As long as I have them,
[11:43] Gin
    I'll burst back into flames every time you blow them out.
[11:55] Hosen
    Wh...What?!
[11:59] Hosen
    This...!
[12:01] Hosen
    This light is...!!
[12:04] Gin
    Someone like you can never blow out our flame!
[12:24] Mana
    What's with this shaking?!
[12:26] Manb
    Look!
[12:34] Gin
    Someone like you...
[12:36] Gin
    can never blow out our flame!
[12:47] Gin
    Someone like you...
[12:49] Gin
    can never extinguish this light!
[12:53] Hosen
    Th-This is...
[12:55] Hosen
    This light is...!
[12:57] Hosen
    It can't be...?!
[13:26] Hosen
    Th-The sun!!
[13:35] Hosen
    My blood is...
[13:37] Hosen
    My flesh is...
[13:39] Hosen
    My soul is drying up!
[13:42] Both
    Go!
[13:44] Both
    Gin-san!!
[13:47] Three
    Burn off the chains...
[13:49] Both
    of the King of the Night!!
[14:14] Hinowa
    Hey, Mister.
[14:18] Hinowa
    Why are you using an umbrella when it's so sunny?
[14:23] Hinowa
    Why?
[14:28] Manc
    Hey!
[14:30] Manc
    How dare you speak to Lord Hosen like that?!
[14:32] Manc
    I am terribly sorry, Lord Hosen.
[14:35] Manc
    She's just a country girl who knows nothing.
[14:38] Manc
    Please forgive her.
[14:39] Manc
    Come on, let's go.
[14:44] Hinowa
    Poor thing.
[14:46] Hinowa
    You can't even look at such a beautiful sky.
[14:59] Hinowa
    Hey, Mister.
[15:00] Hinowa
    Why do you live underground?
[15:05] Hinowa
    Do you hate the sun that much?
[15:07] Hinowa
    Or does the sun hate you?
[15:12] Womana
    What are you doing, you idiot?!
[15:14] Womana
    I'm so sorry, Lord Hosen.
[15:16] Womana
    Come on, let's go!
[15:17] Hinowa
    Mister, you shouldn't fight with the sun!
[15:29] Mand
    Stupid brat!
[15:32] Hosen
    I see you're working hard.
[15:34] Mand
    L-Lord Hosen.
[15:38] Hosen
    You're...
[15:41] Hosen
    What did she do this time?
[15:44] Mand
    W-Well, she...
[15:47] Hosen
    Show me what you're hiding behind your back.
[15:50] Mand
    I'm terribly sorry!
[15:52] Mand
    She insisted on giving this to you.
SIGN    [For Mister]
[16:03] Hinowa
    Mister...
[16:05] Hinowa
    Bear with that for now, okay?
[16:09] Hinowa
    But I'm sure that one day,
[16:12] Hinowa
    I'll help you and the sun make up.
[16:22] Hosen
    Fawning upon the man who took you from your family to sell you off.
[16:29] Hosen
    If you can do that with your customers, you have a future here.
[16:36] Hinowa
    It doesn't matter who you are.
[16:39] Hinowa
    Mister, the sun shines above every person.
[16:47] Hinowa
    It gives light to everyone.
[16:52] Hinowa
    It shines above you, too...
[16:55] Hinowa
    I'm sure it'll warm your chilled heart.
[17:02] Hinowa
    So, Mister,
[17:04] Hinowa
    don't hate the sun.
[17:19] Hosen
    My sworn enemy...
[17:23] Hosen
    After all these years, you still haven't changed.
[17:28] Hosen
    You still look down on the King of the Night from high above.
[17:33] Hosen
    Indeed... So aggravating...
[17:40] Hosen
    Yet...
[17:43] Hosen
    What a beautiful sight...
[17:51] Kamui
    How pitiful people are.
[17:54] Kamui
    They always yearn for what they don't have.
[17:57] Kamui
    They always reach out to what can't be reached.
[18:00] Kamui
    What does the King of the Night lack? That would be light.
[18:05] Kamui
    Boss, you didn't dry up because of the sun.
[18:12] Kamui
    You were thirsty for the sun.
[18:17] Kamui
    As you shunned and hated it more than anyone else,
[18:21] Kamui
    you envied and yearned for it more than anyone else.
[18:25] Kamui
    To the sun we could never obtain...
[18:29] Kamui
    Not to live on the cold battlefield,
    but under a warm sun.
[18:35] Kamui
    To the undying light within their eyes.
[18:39] Kamui
    Hence, you dragged the women who had taken that light into your own night,
[18:44] Kamui
    into this land of eternal night.
[18:49] Kamui
    And when that light still wouldn't fade, you could only hate,
[18:55] Kamui
    ...and love.
[19:05] Hosen
    Love?
[19:06] Hosen
    Where did you learn such a word?
[19:10] Hosen
    Kamui, you know more than anyone that I have no such emotion.
[19:20] Hosen
    If you're walking down the same path as me.
[19:24] Hosen
    Kamui, you are just like me.
[19:28] Hosen
    A person who only knows how to fight.
[19:32] Hosen
    You take everything you want by force.
[19:36] Hosen
    You hold down everything you dislike by force.
[19:43] Hosen
    You can only express love and hate through fighting.
[19:50] Hosen
    Kamui, you will eventually learn.
[19:55] Hosen
    When you're old and look back at the path you took,
[20:02] Hosen
    you'll find that our path is empty.
[20:06] Hosen
    Even when you find something you truly desire,
[20:09] Hosen
    you lack the arms to hold it.
[20:13] Hosen
    You can only sink your claws into it.
[20:16] Hosen
    The more you try to bring it closer,
    the deeper your claws sink in.
[20:22] Hosen
    The more you reach out for them,
    the further away they go.
[20:33] Hinowa
    Mister, the sun shines above every person.
[20:40] Hinowa
    It gives light to everyone.
[20:48] Hosen
    Why must you hate me, as well?
[20:54] Hinowa
    It shines above you, too...
[20:57] Hinowa
    I'm sure it'll warm your chilled heart...
[21:03] Hosen
    Why must you reject me, as well?
[21:08] Hinowa
    So, Mister,
[21:11] Hinowa
    don't hate the sun.
[21:15] Hosen
    Why... When I desire you so...
[21:23] Hosen
    I am drying up...
[21:29] Hosen
    I can see nothing at all...
[21:37] Hosen
    A true night, where no light can reach...
[21:49] Hosen
    So, even in death, the King of the Night must walk into the night...
[22:05] Hosen
    This is...
[22:07] Hosen
    This light is...
[22:22] Hosen
    Hi-Hinowa...
SIGN    
[24:06] Hinowa
    I was finally able to show you...
[24:11] Hinowa
    I've wanted to show you this for the longest time...
[24:15] Hinowa
    Show you this sky...
