**[00:00] Song**
Feeling all beat by 6 PM.
***SIGN*** [The Takao-san Hour Smile! Is that Good?]
**[00:02] Song**
Virgins tend to be timid.
**[00:05] Song**
Getting all bitchy by 6 PM.
***SIGN*** [The "Good?" Middle Aged Corps: Mako Mansion Ken]
**[00:08] Song**
Still gonna be a virgin tomorrow.
**[00:13] Song**
Kore wa pen desu.
**[00:15] Song**
This is a pen.
**[00:18] Song**
No shit, Sherlock!
**[00:23] Song**
Yosan wo agete.
**[00:25] Song**
Give me money!
**[00:28] Song**
We're the only ones using 4:3 in this day and age.
**[00:33] Song**
After all these years, the costs haven't changed!
**[00:36] Song**
Apologizing when you don't even mean it.
**[00:41] Song**
Going "give me chocolate" when a jeep shows up.
**[00:43] Song**
Laugh away! Bitchin' sparking! Yay!
**[00:46] Song**
There's always the next life.
**[00:49] Song**
So it's all good!
**[00:51] Song**
Coming straight up!
**[00:54] Song**
Tomoro Taguchi!
**[00:56] Song**
It's all good. It's all good.
**[00:59] Song**
Tomoro Taguchi!
**[01:06] Tomoro**
We'll take a commercial break now.
***SIGN*** ["Shocked by the Phone"]
**[01:17] Tomoro**
Good evening.
**[01:18] All**
Good evening!
**[01:20] Tomoro**
It sure was warm today.
**[01:22] All**
Sure was!
**[01:23] Tomoro**
Did it rain by any chance?
**[01:26] All**
Sure did!
**[01:27] Tomoro**
Mention both and I've covered all the bases.
**[01:29] All**
Sure have!
**[01:31] Tomoro**
Since we dubbed this in April.
**[01:34] All**
Sure did!
**[01:36] Tomoro**
We have Ketsuno here.
**[01:37] Tomoro**
It's a pleasure.
**[01:39] Ketsuno**
The pleasure is all mine.
**[01:42] Tomoro**
Well then...
**[01:42] Tomoro**
So yesterday, we introduced Shunnosuke Oguri-kun.
**[01:45] Tomoro**
He hasn't made an appearance since a scene in episode 150.
**[01:50] Tomoro**
Here's the red-hot super idol, Otsu Terakado-chan!
**[01:53] Tomoro**
Come on down.
**[02:02] Tsu**
Tamo-san, I've finally put out a CD.
**[02:07] Tomoro**
Huh, you've never released one before.
**[02:09] Tsu**
Yes.
**[02:10] Tsu**
In the anime, they make it sound like I'm releasing single after single,
**[02:14] Tsu**
but in real life, we get all kinds of complaints after I perform.
**[02:17] Tsu**
The lyrics consist of censored words to begin with...
**[02:21] Tsu**
The big honchos like Ani**** are always bending over for others.
**[02:25] Tsu**
The staff keeps handing off the job of deciding how to release the CD.
**[02:29] Tomoro**
Let's move on.
**[02:31] Tomoro**
Well, you've finally released a CD,
**[02:33] Tomoro**
so let's drop the risky talk.
**[02:37] Tomoro**
So let's introduce your friend...
**[02:39] Tsu**
What?!
**[02:40] Tsu**
Isn't it a little early?
**[02:42] Tsu**
We haven't even done the hundred person survey yet.
**[02:43] Tomoro**
We sang during the opening for the first time in a while,
**[02:45] Tomoro**
so we're out of time.
**[02:48] All**
Sure are!
**[02:49] Tsu**
What the hell?!
**[02:50] Tsu**
You're okay with that?!
**[02:52] Tsu**
Isn't that the wrong time to agree?!
**[02:53] All**
Sure is!
**[02:59] Tsu**
Don't give me that shit!
**[03:02] All**
Sure thing.
**[06:38] Tsu**
Everybody, thank you so poop for coming to my concert today!
**[06:50] Tsu**
Though it pains me, this will be the last song.
**[06:56] Tsu**
Of course, I'll be singing "Your Mom's a BLEEP"!
**[07:10] Song**
Your mole looks a little off-color.
**[07:19] Audience**
Ne-Ne-Ne-Ne-Necromancer!
**[07:26] Staff**
Thank you very much!
**[07:28] Staff**
Please be careful on your way home!
**[07:32] Takachin**
Wasn't that crazy, Shin-chan?
**[07:34] Takachin**
Otsu-chan's concerts are the best.
**[07:38] Takachin**
Nothing can replace the sense of unity in a concert hall.
**[07:42] Sergeant**
If I had to find something wrong,
**[07:44] Sergeant**
it'd be their use of an acoustic version of the classic,
**[07:46] Sergeant**
"Your Grandpa Stands Too Much When He's Pedaling."
**[07:49] Sergeant**
The arrangement wasn't bad, but personally, I'd have preferred the original.
**[07:52] Member**
And for the classic, "Your Granny's Wearing Your Basketball Shoes,"
**[07:55] Member**
they turned the mic to the audience so we couldn't hear Otsu-chan singing.
**[07:59] Member**
Even if they wanted the audience to feel like part of the performance,
**[08:02] Member**
it was rather unfortunate.
**[08:04] Taka**
Hey, cut the griping, people!
**[08:07] Taka**
Concerts and CDs are good in different ways!
**[08:10] Taka**
Either way, Otsu-chan rules!
**[08:14] Taka**
Right, Shin-chan?
**[08:16] Taka**
Shin-chan?
**[08:17] Sergeant**
Chief, what's wrong?
**[08:19] Sergeant**
You seem a little down today.
**[08:21] ---**
Considering it was an Otsu-chan concert... Is something wrong?
**[08:25] Shin**
You're right.
**[08:26] Shin**
Today was an Otsu-chan concert.
**[08:29] Shin**
The most important day for us members of the Tsu Terakado Fan Club.
**[08:32] Shin**
A special day that cannot be replaced.
**[08:36] Shin**
And yet...
**[08:37] Shin**
Why are there only four of us here?!
**[08:41] Shin**
Sarge!
**[08:41] Shin**
State the 82nd clause of the Tsu Terakado Fan Club creed!
**[08:45] Sergeant**
Y-You must go to an Otsu-chan concert, even if it's the day of your parents' funeral!
**[08:50] Sergeant**
Open parentheses. Sis is the exception. Closed Parentheses.
**[08:53] Shin**
That's right!
**[08:54] Shin**
Yet look at this showing!
**[08:56] Shin**
What happened to the other members?!
**[08:57] Shin**
Did you contact everybody?!
**[09:00] Sarge**
Y-You've got it wrong, chief!
**[09:01] Sarge**
Th-This is...
**[09:03] Sarge**
C-Crap...
**[09:04] Taka**
Y-You idiot, Sarge!
**[09:05] Taka**
N-No, it's not what you think, Shin-chan.
**[09:09] Taka**
Th-This is, uh...
**[09:10] Shin**
They quit?
**[09:14] Shin**
Don't tell me...
**[09:17] Shin**
those guys...
**[09:18] Shin**
quit...
**[09:21] Shin**
the fan club...
**[09:23] Shin**
without asking me?!
**[09:27] Shin**
Don't give me that shit!
**[09:28] Shin**
I'll kill them all!
**[09:30] Taka**
Shin-chan!
**[09:31] Shin**
Which idol was it?!
**[09:32] Shin**
Which rotten idol did they switch to?!
**[09:34] Shin**
Did they forget the 14th clause of our creed:
"Ignore any idol who isn't Otsu-chan"?!
**[09:40] Taka**
Shin-chan!
**[09:41] Taka**
C-Calm down, Shin-chan!
**[09:43] Shin**
I won't calm down!
**[09:44] Shin**
I'll barge into every single one of their homes
**[09:45] Shin**
and make them do push-ups while reciting the club creed!
**[09:47] Taka**
Y-You've got it wrong, Shin-chan.
**[09:49] Taka**
They didn't quit being Otsu-chan's fans by choice!
**[09:52] Shin**
Then why aren't they here?!
**[09:53] Shin**
What the hell happened?!
**[09:55] Taka**
About that!
**[09:57] Furuta**
Just let it go, Mr. Shimura.
**[10:01] Kawashita**
We could never tell you.
**[10:03] Fujiyama**
We didn't leave because of Otsu-chan.
**[10:06] Furuta**
Mr. Shimura, we could never say that we couldn't stand your methods...
**[10:11] Shin**
Wh-What's with all of you?!
**[10:13] Shin**
You're creeping me out!
**[10:14] Taka**
Furuta! Kawashita! Fujiyama!
**[10:16] Taka**
You're all...
**[10:17] Taka**
You're all people who quit!
**[10:20] Taka**
What are you doing here?!
**[10:21] Taka**
Don't you feel ashamed to show your face here?!
**[10:24] Hijikata**
You should be the ones to feel ashamed.
**[10:27] Hijikata**
Fan Clubs of hard-line idols are relics of the past
**[10:31] Hijikata**
from the age of Chinko Matsuda and Bakina Nakamori.
**[10:37] Hijikata**
Your methods are old-fashioned.
**[10:40] Hijikata**
Nobody will follow you.
**[10:42] Hijikata**
The Tsu Terakado Fan Club has fallen.
**[10:47] Hijikata**
From now on, yes...
**[10:49] Hijikata**
I, I shall lead the new wave...
**[10:52] Hijikata**
The Tsusengumi!
**[10:56] Shin**
Y-You're...
**[10:58] Shin**
T-Toshi!
***SIGN*** ["Any Place with a Bunch of Men Gathered Around Will Turn into a Battlefield"]
**[11:15] N**
Our story is set during the Warring Tsu Terakado Fan Clubs Period.
**[11:19] N**
Tsu Terakado had overcome scandal and achieved the position of top idol.
**[11:25] N**
Countless numbers of fan clubs engaged in a furious battle for dominance.
**[11:33] N**
Men fell in battle as they strived for supreme hegemony, the title of official fan club.
**[11:42] N**
On this corpse-riddled battlefield was a group of men considered the strongest.
**[11:50] N**
The Tsu Terakado Fan Club.
**[11:53] N**
The strongest otaku led by their brave general, Shinpachi Shimura!
**[12:00] N**
Veterans among veterans who had supported Tsu Terakado back when she sang on the street.
**[12:05] N**
Bound by an ironclad creed numbering 99 clauses,
**[12:09] N**
they had frighteningly high morale and did not know defeat in battle.
**[12:13] N**
They dominated every other faction in performance quality, energy, obnoxiousness and lack of women.
**[12:24] N**
Their long history placed them nearest to the title of official,
**[12:28] N**
so they were under constant attack from other factions.
**[12:31] N**
But the elite forces trained by the brave general Shimura were difficult to defeat,
**[12:36] N**
and the piles of their challengers' corpses grew taller.
**[12:41] N**
It was difficult situation to change.
**[12:44] N**
As many soldiers began laying down their weapons,
**[12:48] N**
a man appeared.
**[12:53] N**
The brilliant general, Toshi!
**[12:56] N**
He appeared on the battlefield like a shooting star
**[12:59] N**
and cleverly manipulated the deserters into his own faction named the Tsusengumi.
**[13:05] N**
Unlike the others who could only revolt and fight,
**[13:09] N**
he didn't fight.
**[13:12] N**
He understood the workings of the heart of an otaku
**[13:14] N**
and enticed one after another to join from different factions.
**[13:17] N**
In no time, he had the largest force of all.
**[13:21] N**
The Tsusengumi he created, which covered everything from
**[13:24] N**
anime, manga, games, and other 2D media to 3D media,
**[13:29] N**
was not beholden to Otsu.
**[13:31] N**
A group of chosen otaku who used all kinds of media.
**[13:34] N**
You could call it a Universal Media Club.
**[13:38] N**
His methods, considered to be soft-line,
**[13:41] N**
were refreshing to the hard-line, old-fashioned otaku who only followed Otsu.
**[13:49] N**
An otaku creed began to spread.
**[13:52] N**
It didn't take long for him to be considered a charismatic otaku.
**[13:57] N**
And it goes without saying that the members of the Tsu Terakado Fan Club
**[14:01] N**
who were forced by ironclad principles to suppress their desires were the first to fall.
**[14:07] N**
They could no longer hear the voice of the brave general Shimura, who once inspired fear in all.
**[14:13] N**
Once on the verge of conquering the world,
**[14:16] N**
the Tsu Terakado Fan Club was now on the verge of ruin.
**[14:18] N**
The arrival of a new star led to the curtain falling on this long period of war.
**[14:31] Gin**
Yeah, this week's GinTama was short...
**[14:33] Shin**
Why are you ending it already?!
**[14:35] Shin**
It's not over!
**[14:37] Shin**
The manga and fan club aren't over!
**[14:39] Shin**
How is that okay?!
**[14:41] Shin**
It's obviously not okay!
**[14:43] Shin**
And next week's is a totally unrelated story!
**[14:46] Shin**
This is just your personal wish!
**[14:48] Gin**
That's enough, yeah?
**[14:51] Gin**
We can end it.
**[14:52] Gin**
The narration was pretty intense.
**[14:55] Shin**
It can't be over!
**[14:56] Shin**
Only half the episode's been used up!
**[14:58] Shin**
How could it end at such a horrible juncture?!
**[15:00] Gin**
Just forget it.
**[15:02] Gin**
We'd just have to listen to your eternal bitching.
**[15:06] Gin**
It's a pain. Don't wanna hear it.
**[15:08] Gin**
Let it end. I'm begging you.
**[15:11] Kagura**
Who cares about idols and whatever?
**[15:13] Kagura**
Go do it by yourself.
**[15:15] Kagura**
It's a waste of time, you piece of trash.
**[15:17] Shin**
You don't have to put it that way!
**[15:19] Shin**
I'm gonna cry!
**[15:20] Shin**
You should know how much effort I've put into this fan club!
**[15:26] Shin**
How much I love Otsu-chan!
**[15:30] Shin**
And now, the fan club is on the verge of disbanding!
**[15:33] Shin**
After cheering and supporting Otsu-chan this whole time...
**[15:36] Shin**
Before anyone else did!
**[15:38] Shin**
And then some random guy shows up and steals my members and status!
**[15:43] Shin**
They're trying to steal my dream of becoming Otsu-chan's official fan club!
**[15:48] Shin**
Unbelievable...
**[15:50] Shin**
I didn't think that man would still be alive...
**[15:53] Shin**
I thought he'd been destroyed by now...
**[15:57] Shin**
The curse has yet to be broken...
**[15:59] Shin**
That man still lived inside of Hijikata-san...
**[16:03] Shin**
And he's a suped-up otaku now!
**[16:09] Shin**
How can some half-assed idol otaku like us compete with that charismatic otaku?
**[16:14] Shin**
Do we even stand a chance?!
**[16:16] Taka**
Shin-chan!
**[16:17] Taka**
You can't give up!
**[16:19] Taka**
The fight isn't over yet!
**[16:20] Taka**
The Tsu Terakado Fan Club hasn't died yet!
**[16:23] Taka**
You still have a member!
**[16:25] Taka**
Right here!
**[16:27] Shin**
Takachin...
**[16:28] Taka**
There should still be fan clubs that haven't been absorbed by him!
**[16:31] Taka**
Let's join up with them to fight against him!
**[16:34] Taka**
We'll show that guy! And the people who betrayed us!
**[16:39] Taka**
Our fight has just begun!
**[16:43] Gin**
As long as evil exists, their battle will continue.
**[16:46] Gin**
Forever.
**[16:49] Gin**
And GinTama just ended...
**[16:51] Shin**
Don't end the series!
**[16:53] Shin**
Why are you trying to turn this into an incomplete manga?!
**[16:55] Shin**
It's true that these endings happen!
**[16:57] Shin**
That most endings are this way!
**[16:58] Shin**
But are you that desperate to not hear our story?!
**[17:01] Shin**
You're going to end the series so you don't have to hear it?!
**[17:04] Gin**
I don't really understand official fan clubs or the like.
**[17:07] Gin**
What are you people trying to do?
**[17:09] Gin**
What? Official?
**[17:10] Gin**
So you win the war and become official.
**[17:12] Gin**
Then what do you have?
**[17:15] Gin**
Do you get to go out with Otsu-chan?
**[17:17] Gin**
Do you get to kiss Otsu-chan?
**[17:18] Gin**
Do you get to **** or XXXX or !@##%%?
**[17:23] Gin**
You don't.
**[17:25] Gin**
Official gets you a couple of biscuits and that's that.
**[17:29] Shin**
Hell no! Why biscuits?!
**[17:31] Gin**
Then I'll give you some biscuits.
**[17:33] Gin**
Good enough?
**[17:34] Gin**
Scram, moron. Official moron.
**[17:36] Shin**
Shut up, moron!
**[17:37] Shin**
Biscuit moron!
**[17:38] Shin**
Official biscuit moron!
**[17:39] Taka**
Hey, he has no intention of listening to us.
**[17:41] Taka**
He isn't treating us like fellow humans.
**[17:44] Shin**
Gin-san, it's a great honor to be acknowledged as the official fan club.
**[17:51] Shin**
So far, we've been supporting Otsu-chan one-sidedly,
**[17:56] Shin**
but if we become official,
**[17:57] Shin**
that means that Otsu-chan is asking us to cheer for her!
**[18:00] Shin**
She'll be depending on us!
**[18:02] Gin**
Not much difference.
**[18:04] Shin**
There is!
**[18:05] Shin**
Our motivation will get a huge boost!
**[18:08] Shin**
Basically, becoming official is like becoming the palace army led by the Shogun!
**[18:13] Shin**
Which means that those who aren't chosen are considered rebels!
**[18:17] Shin**
Could there be a greater dishonor?!
**[18:19] Shin**
It's such an aggravating thing to happen after cheering for so long!
**[18:23] Kagura**
Then you can just join that group.
**[18:26] Kagura**
Then you can all be members of the official fan club.
**[18:29] Taka**
We can't join a group with those people!
**[18:31] Taka**
They're a bunch of traitors and seditionists who encouraged the traitors!
**[18:37] Shin**
That's right!
**[18:38] Shin**
Besides, they're following all kinds of idols besides Otsu-chan!
**[18:42] Shin**
We're the ones who truly love Otsu-chan!
**[18:45] Shin**
We're more fit to be official!
**[18:48] Shin**
I don't need a member number below those freaks!
**[18:53] Gin**
Don't be so anal.
**[18:55] Gin**
It's all the same shit, yeah?
**[18:57] Gin**
So just get along.
**[18:59] Gin**
There isn't any difference between member #1 and member #100.
**[19:01] Gin**
As far as an idol's concerned, fan club members are like smegma.
**[19:06] Gin**
There isn't any difference between Smegma A and Smegma Z, yeah?
**[19:09] Gin**
'Cause you're still smegma.
**[19:10] Gin**
If you understand, go make up and drink a liter of soy sauce.
**[19:14] Gin**
And die, you morons.
**[19:15] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[19:17] Hijikata**
You're going to voluntarily surrender to my troops?
**[19:22] Hijikata**
I don't particularly mind,
**[19:24] Hijikata**
but I recommend that you calm down and reevaluate the situation.
**[19:29] Hijikata**
I may have won the battle of size,
**[19:32] Hijikata**
but it appears that the title of official isn't something that can simply be won by numbers.
**[19:38] Shin**
Y-You bastard...
**[19:39] Shin**
How dare you show your face here?!
**[19:41] Gin**
Uh, could you not walk into someone else's house without permission?
**[19:44] Hijikata**
Mr. Sakata,
**[19:45] Hijikata**
I recommend you turn on the TV.
**[19:48] Gin**
What's with this guy?
**[19:49] Gin**
He walks into somebody else's house without permission and makes recommendations all over the place.
**[19:55] A**
The interview has just begun.
**[19:57] A**
We'll go to reporter, Shoji-san.
**[19:58] Shoji**
Yes, this is reporter, Shoji.
**[20:01] Shoji**
The interview has just begun.
**[20:03] Tsu**
Yes...
**[20:04] Tsu**
I love all the people who listen to my songs.
**[20:09] Tsu**
I consider them all irreplaceable.
**[20:13] Tsu**
Which is why...
**[20:16] Tsu**
I didn't want to assign ranks to my precious fans...
**[20:19] Tsu**
I really didn't want that...
**[20:23] Tsu**
That's why I tried to avoid having to make such decisions.
**[20:28] Tsu**
But I heard that my fans were getting into big fights as a result.
**[20:33] Tsu**
So I wasn't sure what I should do.
**[20:36] Tsu**
That was when this program came to me and asked if I would make a decision.
**[20:45] Tsu**
I'm going to make a Tsu Terakado official fan club! Strong as a diamond!
**[20:51] N**
Next time on TV Mix-and-match,
**[20:53] N**
The pianist battle to decide Tsu Terakado's official fan club!
**[20:59] N**
Measure of knowledge!
**[21:00] N**
Measure of stamina!
**[21:01] N**
Measure of willpower!
**[21:02] N**
Measure of effort!
