[01:40] Kondo
    Prisoner 3-2034.
[01:45] Kondo
    Kohei Tanaka.
[01:46] Kondo
    A vicious serial killer who murdered
    35 Bakufu employees.
[01:51] Kondo
    Also known as Kohei the Manslayer, a leader in the
    Akatsuki faction of the radical Anti-Foreigner Faction.
[01:55] Kondo
    Surrounded by over forty Bakufu officials,
    with a dozen cuts on his body,
[02:01] Kondo
    he didn't bat an eye as
    he killed seven officials.
[02:05] Kondo
    After being captured, he has
    yet to respond to torture,
[02:09] Kondo
    and we haven't been able to
    get him to open his mouth.
[02:15] Kondo
    No, that would be the
    wrong way to put it.
[02:18] Kondo
    His mouth is definitely open.
[02:21] Kondo
    In fact, it's been open the whole time.
[02:23] Kondo
    He never stops smiling, regardless
    of the torture he's going through.
[02:28] Kondo
    He's always smiling like
    he's enjoying it all.

[02:39] Hijikata
    The suits have given us
    a real pain to deal with.
[02:42] Kondo
    There have been reports of a large-scale terrorist
    attack in the works by the Akatsuki faction.
[02:48] Kondo
    He must know the details.
[02:52] Hijikata
    And we're supposed to
    force it out of him?
[02:54] Kondo
    Yeah, pretty much.
[02:56] Kondo
    Can you do it?
[02:58] Okita
    I doubt we'll be able to make
    him talk through torture.
[03:01] Okita
    Look at that masochistic face.
[03:05] Okita
    Does he look like someone in a desperate situation
    after being captured by the enemy?
[03:10] Okita
    He isn't thinking about how
    to get out of this situation.
[03:14] Okita
    He's enjoying the situation.
[03:17] Yamazaki
    He must have been trained
    to take torture.
[03:20] Yamazaki
    He doesn't reject pain.
[03:23] Yamazaki
    He's probably learned
    to seek and relish it.
[03:26] Yamazaki
    We could cut off an arm or leg,
[03:28] Yamazaki
    and he would keep on smiling like that.
[03:31] Kondo
    So it's impossible to pressure
    him through pain.
[03:35] Kondo
    Still, what do we do, Toshi?
[03:39] Hijikata
    There's more to an interrogation
    than going on the attack.
[03:42] Hijikata
    We'll use the "carrot and stick"
    technique to make him talk.
[03:48] Hijikata
    Lose the mindset of forcing
    information from him.
[03:50] Hijikata
    We're going to get close
    to him and snatch it.
[03:53] Yamazaki
    So you want to win him over...
[03:54] Yamazaki
    How exactly are we supposed to
    get a serial killer to warm up?
[03:59] Yamazaki
    If someone like him had been in my class, I
    wouldn't have wanted to be friends with him.
[04:03] Yamazaki
    I would have graduated without
    saying a word to him.
[04:07] Kondo
    It's fine.
[04:07] Kondo
    When you're about to graduate, the people
    you couldn't stand all look like nice people.
[04:10] Yamazaki
    Uh, how is it fine?
[04:13] Yamazaki
    What are we graduating from?
[04:15] Okita
    Hijikata-san, this is your chance
    to make a friend.
[04:18] Okita
    Do you intend to end three years of school
    without ever lifting your head off your desk?
[04:22] Hijikata
    Don't talk about me like I'm
    some sorry, lonely guy!
[04:24] Okita
    You'll never make any friends if you
    aren't willing to approach anyone.
[04:28] Okita
    Physical exams are a great time
    to try, with everybody hyped up.
[04:32] Okita
    "Oh? You wear briefs?"
[04:34] Okita
    You know, something along those lines.
[04:36] Hijikata
    Who are you accusing
    of wearing briefs?!
[04:38] Kondo
    Go for it!
[04:39] Kondo
    Be brave, Toshi!
[04:40] Okita
    Open his heart!
[04:42] Okita
    Open his briefs, Toshi!
[04:44] Hijikata
    Hey! Why are you trying to
    push the dirty work on me?!
[04:47] Hijikata
    Yamazaki, you go.
[04:49] Hijikata
    You wear briefs, right?
[04:51] Hijikata
    Get going.
[04:51] Yamazaki
    No, I wear boxers!
[04:53] Hijikata
    Shut up.
[04:54] Hijikata
    You might as well be wearing briefs.
[04:56] Hijikata
    You ooze lameness...
[04:58] Yamazaki
    No, wait...
[05:00] Yamazaki
    We don't even know if he wears briefs...
[05:02] Hijikata
    Stop wasting time and get going!
[05:08] Kondo
    Open!
[05:09] Kondo
    Open his briefs, Zaki!
[05:11] ---
    Ow-ow-ow...
[05:17] Yamazaki
    S-Scary!
[05:22] Yamazaki
    This guy's really creepy up close!
[05:25] Yamazaki
    Like he's going to jump me at any time!
[05:28] Kondo
    Zaki, carrot and stick.
[05:30] Kondo
    Mercilessly pressure him, while offering
    gentle words of comfort.
SIGN    
[05:34] Kondo
    Use the tsundere principle
    to catch his heart!
[05:39] Yamazaki
    Calm down.
[05:41] Yamazaki
    His arms and legs are chained
    together so he can't move.
[05:44] Yamazaki
    And everybody's watching me through
    the two-way mirror behind me.
[05:47] Yamazaki
    I'll start with a threat.
[05:50] Yamazaki
    He's looking down on the police.
[05:53] Yamazaki
    I won't be able to accomplish anything if
    I can't get that smug smile off his face!
[05:59] Yamazaki
    Fuck it, patchwork baldy!
[06:02] Yamazaki
    How long you gonna keep playin' it cool?
[06:06] Yamazaki
    Don't mess with the police, mothafucka!
[06:10] Yamazaki
    We don't have all day here!
[06:12] Yamazaki
    The anime's on its fourth year, with our
    stock of original material running out!
[06:15] Yamazaki
    We get manga manuscripts
    faxed over every week!
[06:18] Yamazaki
    We're on the ropes!
[06:19] Yamazaki
    Everybody's stressed out to the limit!
[06:23] Yamazaki
    We don't got time to waste on
    a guest character like you!
[06:27] Yamazaki
    So cut to the chase and spill your guts!
[06:30] Hijikata
    What's he talking about?
[06:32] Yamazaki
    I wanna play DQ too!
SIGN    [Note: Refers to the recently released "Dragon Quest IX".]
[06:35] Yamazaki
    I haven't beaten it yet!
[06:38] Yamazaki
    But I'm sucking it up and
    working my ass off!
[06:40] Yamazaki
    I have to deal with people like you
    instead of doing what I want to do!
[06:44] Kondo
    Hey, isn't he just bitching now?
[06:46] Yamazaki
    Damn it!
[06:48] Yamazaki
    Why can't I get a job like the one
    Kochikame's Akimoto has?!
SIGN    
[06:52] Kondo
    What is he doing?
[06:54] Kondo
    He's not even looking at the suspect.
[06:57] Kondo
    He's just channeling the author
    of this manga now.
SIGN    
[07:00] Yamazaki
    I watched Binetsu Tairiku!
[07:02] Yamazaki
    I was all pumped up to
    work after watching it,
[07:04] Yamazaki
    so I sat down at my desk,
    but it was no good!
[07:07] Yamazaki
    I can't be like you! I'm worthless!
[07:11] Hijikata
    Yeah, we don't care.
[07:13] Hijikata
    Cut it out.
SIGN    [Note: Hideaki Sorachi= original manga author for Gintama.]
[07:14] Hijikata
    This isn't a place for Sorachi to repent.
[07:17] Yamazaki
    I'm just... I'm just...
[07:27] Yamazaki
    This is the theme from Binetsu Tairiku...
[07:31] Yamazaki
    The Taro song...
[07:34] Yamazaki
    You...
[07:35] Tanaka
    You are certainly a failure of a human.
[07:38] Yamazaki
    What?
[07:40] Yamazaki
    Like you're one to talk.
[07:41] Tanaka
    I'm not referring to your
    tardy work habits.
[07:44] Tanaka
    I'm talking about how you gaze at the
    top of the mountain in servitude.
[07:49] Tanaka
    The path to the top will only grow
    longer if you belittle yourself.
[07:54] Tanaka
    A mountain peak does not exist
    to show how small you are.
[07:59] Tanaka
    It's there to provide you with a goal.
[08:02] Tanaka
    If you have to wander down a side path,
[08:05] Tanaka
    you should take your time
    to slowly climb up.
[08:09] Tanaka
    The mountain you call Akimoto-san
    was the product of thirty years.
SIGN    
[08:13] Tanaka
    It won't be an easy climb for you.
[08:15] Tanaka
    You must be prepared
    to spend thirty years.
[08:19] Tanaka
    Step by step, as steady as a turtle...
SIGN    [Note: Part of the manga title "Kochikame" is "kame", which is turtle.]
[08:24] Tanaka
    It's possible that you'll
    never reach the top.
[08:27] Tanaka
    You may burn out halfway.
[08:30] Tanaka
    However, you'll still have a better
    view than you do now.
[08:40] Yamazaki
    Thank you very much.
[08:42] Yamazaki
    If you'll excuse me.
[08:44] Hijikata
    What did you go in there for?!
[08:46] Hijikata
    Why did you fall for his carrot?!
[08:49] Hijikata
    Why did you let him use
    the stick on you?!
[08:51] Hijikata
    Why were you the one
    who spilled his guts?!
[08:54] Hijikata
    You're supposed to get the
    suspect to spill his guts!
[08:56] Yamazaki
    Still, I was able to get close to him.
[08:58] Yamazaki
    He burned me a DVD of Binetsu Tairiku.
[09:01] Hijikata
    He's the one who won you over!
[09:04] Okita
    Hey, Yamazaki.
[09:05] Okita
    Lend me that.
[09:07] Yamazaki
    Now, I'll always be able
    to see the rare scene,
[09:09] Yamazaki
    where the interviewers ask kind Mr. Akimoto
    what he's most angry about right now,
SIGN    
[09:14] Yamazaki
    and he gives his long answer in the interview.
[09:18] Hijikata
    How could you enjoy that?!
[09:20] Hijikata
    It must have been a really long interview
    to make Mr. Akimoto say that.
[09:24] Hijikata
    Rewatch the part where he's
    interviewing the interviewers!
[09:29] Hijikata
    Yamazaki, you let him
    pull a fast one on you.
[09:33] Hijikata
    I can't believe you let yourself
    be lectured by that murderer.
[09:38] Hijikata
    Pathetic...
[09:39] Kondo
    He'll be a tough nut to crack.
[09:42] Kondo
    Okay. I'll go next.
[09:45] Kondo
    That's enough threatening.
[09:48] Kondo
    I'll go with carrot.
[09:49] Kondo
    Just like the rogue detective.
SIGN    [Note: Parody of the police TV drama "Hagure Keiji Jyunjyo-ha (Rogue Detective Naïve Type).]
[09:52] Kondo
    Detective Gorilla: Empathy Type.
[09:55] Kondo
    I'll use empathy to sway him over.
[09:58] Hijikata
    It says Detective Gorilla. You're a gorilla.
[10:00] Hijikata
    You've strayed from the human race.
[10:03] Kondo
    Chief, take care of my daughters
    if anything happens to me.
[10:09] Hijikata
    Where's the chief or your daughters?
[10:11] Kondo
    Detective Kane.
SIGN    
[10:13] Kondo
    You should learn to act
    before you learn action.
[10:16] Okita
    Yeah, whatever happened
    to Detective Kane?
[10:21] Kondo
    You're probably sick of the prison slop.
[10:23] Kondo
    I've brought you something
    special today.
[10:25] Kondo
    Eat as much as you want.
[10:27] Kondo
    It's Gorilla's special katsudon.
SIGN    
[10:30] Hijikata
    The katsudon might be
    considered empathetic,
[10:34] Hijikata
    but the way he's feeding
    it to him is anything but.
[10:37] ---
    Eat up.
[10:38] Hijikata
    The exact opposite, in fact.
[10:43] Kondo
    All right now...
[10:47] Kondo
    Fact is, I have a son your age.
[10:53] Hijikata
    Hey, Detective Gorilla!
[10:54] Hijikata
    How old are you supposed to be?!
[10:55] Hijikata
    That makes your son an old man!
[10:58] Kondo
    You remind me of my son.
[11:02] Kondo
    I wonder where he is now...
[11:05] Kondo
    He said something about studying
    action in America...
[11:08] Hijikata
    How did Detective Kane
    become your son?!
[11:11] Kondo
    There was a period when he
    went down the wrong path...
[11:14] Kondo
    He'd be immersed in dangerous
    bodybuilding shows every night
SIGN    
[11:18] Kondo
    like Muscle Ranking and SASUKE...
[11:21] Hijikata
    Yeah, that sure is dangerous, but...
[11:23] Kondo
    Murofushi, Shoei...
SIGN    
[11:25] Kondo
    Those were the nameless muscle
    freaks he joined with,
[11:28] Kondo
    as they snorted muscles,
[11:29] Kondo
    and raced around in stolen muscles.
SIGN    [Note: Kondo is using "muscle" in lieu of "drug" and "motorcycle".]
[11:31] Kondo
    It was awful...
[11:33] Hijikata
    What the hell are stolen muscles?!
[11:35] Hijikata
    How would that work?!
[11:37] Kondo
    Eventually, my wife collapsed
    because of her muscles.
[11:42] Hijikata
    What?!
[11:43] Hijikata
    You're not even making any sense now!
[11:44] Hijikata
    Enough! Enough about Detective Kane!
[11:46] Kondo
    She must have been worried
    about our son's muscles...
[11:50] Hijikata
    Stop talking about muscles!
[11:53] Kondo
    But our son never came to the hospital,
    despite his mother's condition.
[12:00] Kondo
    He had been locked up in the slammer!
[12:03] Hijikata
    Hey!
[12:04] Hijikata
    Why are you giving Kane
    a criminal record?!
[12:06] Kondo
    Illegal possession of muscles.
[12:09] Kondo
    He'd been secretly growing
    Iketani in his closet.
SIGN    
[12:13] Hijikata
    How would that even work?!
[12:15] Kondo
    He might have avoided arrest if
    it had been the younger Iketani,
SIGN    
[12:19] Kondo
    but the older Iketani assures
    you of a sentencing.
[12:22] Hijikata
    What's the difference?
[12:23] Kondo
    I was enraged, despondent...
[12:26] Kondo
    I considered cutting ties with him.
[12:28] Kondo
    How could I call him my son when
    he hadn't come to see his mother
[12:33] Kondo
    on her deathbed because
    of his muscle addiction!
[12:36] Kondo
    But as I sat there in despair
    and regret, my wife told me.
[12:43] Kondo
    Don't run away.
[12:45] Kondo
    If it's the duty of a parent to praise a child
    and rejoice when he does something right,
[12:55] Kondo
    it's also the duty of a parent to curse and
    mourn when he does something wrong!
[13:03] Kondo
    Once my son was released, I beat him
    to a pulp... Till he almost died...
[13:10] Kondo
    However, when he repented his
    old ways and stood up,
[13:13] Kondo
    I embraced him as tight as I
    could... Till he almost died...
[13:18] Kondo
    It's the job of a parent to accept their
    child, no matter what they become.
[13:24] Kondo
    However, no parent would
    want to hate their child.
[13:29] Kondo
    If it's the parent's responsibility
    to love and hate their child,
[13:32] Kondo
    what is the child's responsibility?
[13:36] Kondo
    I'll make this simple.
[13:38] Kondo
    Don't make your parents suffer.
[13:41] Kondo
    Please don't make them go
    through what my wife did.
[13:46] Kondo
    You have committed many sins.
[13:49] Kondo
    It's too late for you to erase them.
[13:52] Kondo
    Your parents will have to bear that
    burden for the rest of their lives.
[13:58] Kondo
    But there are still sins that
    you can make up for.
[14:03] Kondo
    It's still possible for you to lessen
    the burden on your parents!
[14:15] Tanaka
    I'll spill...
[14:33] Tanaka
    I'll spill everything...
[14:37] Kondo
    You...
[14:38] Hijikata
    D-Don't tell me he actually
    convinced that murderer?!
[14:43] Kondo
    Did you see that, Toshi?! Sogo?!
[14:46] Kondo
    It's all about heart!
[14:47] Kondo
    My heartfelt carrot was able to
    soften this hardened criminal!
[14:52] Kondo
    Touch this killer deep down...
[14:54] Hijikata
    He spilled something else!
[15:08] Kondo
    What the hell is this?!
SIGN    
[15:10] Hijikata
    Why did this turn into a Detective
    G-Pan death scene?!
[15:12] Hijikata
    Weren't you a rogue detective?!
[15:16] Hijikata
    Why are they playing the death music from Howl
    to the Sun for a scene where he got barfed on?!
[15:21] Tanaka
    Ah, I'm sorry.
[15:23] Tanaka
    I believe this katsudon is spoiled?
[15:31] Kondo
    H-Hold on...
[15:34] Kondo
    It hasn't spoiled yet.
[15:36] Kondo
    Please wait...
[15:37] Kondo
    Don't throw this away...
[15:38] Kondo
    It's only three days old!
[15:40] Kondo
    I was saving it to eat later!
[15:43] Hijikata
    No, the katsudon's definitely spoiled.
    So is your head, for that matter.
[15:46] Tanaka
    Forgive me.
[15:47] Tanaka
    After you went through the trouble
    to prepare that for me, well...
[15:51] Tanaka
    I'll take responsibility
    by eating all of it,
[15:53] Tanaka
    so please leave it here.
[15:55] Kondo
    What the hell is this?!
[15:57] Hijikata
    Wait... Please wait!
[15:59] Hijikata
    Don't take this from me!
[16:01] Hijikata
    Don't overdo it!
[16:03] Hijikata
    I don't want to become a killer!
[16:05] Hijikata
    Hey, could you drop the
    crappy imitation?
[16:08] Tanaka
    Please set your mind at ease.
[16:10] Tanaka
    You've done nothing wrong.
[16:12] Tanaka
    I have faith in you.
[16:15] Tanaka
    If it's the parent's duty to
    bear the child's sins,
[16:20] Tanaka
    the "friend" should take the duty of having
    faith and fighting by your side.
[16:31] Okita
    Gorilla-san!
[16:32] Hijikata
    Weren't you going for G-Pan?!
[16:33] Hijikata
    What happened to the rogue detective?!
[16:35] Okita
    Gori-san! Hang in there!
[16:38] Okita
    Hey!
[16:40] Kondo
    He got me...
[16:42] Kondo
    I was soundly defeated...
[16:44] Kondo
    After I suspected him and
    fed him this pig feed...
[16:50] Kondo
    He called me friend... He
    still believed in me...
[16:53] Hijikata
    Yeah, why a pork cutlet?
[16:54] Hijikata
    Shouldn't that be a cigarette?!
[16:57] Kondo
    Detective Mayora...
SIGN    
[16:59] Kondo
    Detective Sadist...
[17:01] Kondo
    The rest is up to you...
[17:06] Okita
    Gori-san!
[17:09] Hijikata
    What's going on?
[17:11] Hijikata
    Our attempt to convince that murderer
[17:15] Hijikata
    is backfiring...
[17:18] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[17:20] Okita
    He seems to be much better than
    us at using carrot and stick.
SIGN    [?-kun]
[17:27] Okita
    Your concept of carrot and stick
SIGN    [?-chan, you're too close!]
[17:29] Okita
    is basically where someone who's
    always beating you from behind
SIGN    [It's embarrassing when people are watching]
SIGN    [What~ That's not true~]
SIGN    [On the other hand]
SIGN    [Geez, I can't believe you, stupid ?-kun]
[17:34] Okita
    says something kind or righteous,
SIGN    [Sorry, XX-chan...]
[17:38] Okita
    you appreciate it more than if it
    came from someone normal.
SIGN    [I love you, ?-kun]
[17:41] Okita
    What you might call the gap principle.
[17:43] Hijikata
    What's with the really dumb visual aids?
SIGN    [...is more of a turn-on]
[17:46] Okita
    However...
[17:46] Hijikata
    What? We're not done with
    these weird visuals?
[17:48] Okita
    He's already known to be a vicious killer,
[17:53] Okita
    so you could say that we've already
    experienced his stick.
[17:57] Okita
    By the time we try to give him the stick,
[18:00] Okita
    he's already finished.
SIGN    [Mr. Akimoto is wonderful...!!!]
[18:04] Okita
    He just has to spew some
    nice-sounding crap,
SIGN    [Oh... My friend...]
[18:06] Okita
    to accomplish the carrot and stick effect.
[18:09] Okita
    We will always be behind in the score,
[18:12] Okita
    which is why we aren't
    getting any results.
[18:16] Okita
    If we want to win, we have to achieve
    carrot and stick before he does.
[18:22] Hijikata
    Can we do that?
[18:26] Okita
    It's impossible to do it alone.
[18:28] Okita
    But...
[18:32] Hijikata
    I see!
[18:39] Okita
    Don't make yourself too comfortable!
[18:41] Okita
    Your torture's about to start!
[18:43] Hijikata
    A top-class sadist who's aiming
    for his superior's life!
[18:47] Hijikata
    And...
[18:50] Hijikata
    Are you okay?!
[18:51] Hijikata
    Are you hurt?!
[18:54] Okita
    The follow-up master who cleans up after
    superiors and subordinates alike!
[19:01] Both
    If the two of us work together,
[19:03] Both
    we can form the best carrot and stick!
[19:07] Okita
    Now...
[19:09] Hijikata
    It's over.
[19:17] Tanaka
    Uh, sorry...
[19:19] Tanaka
    What are you doing?
[19:21] Both
    Wh-What?!
[19:23] Okita
    Carrot and stick isn't working!
[19:25] Okita
    Impossible!
[19:26] Hijikata
    That should have been a clean hit!
[19:31] Tanaka
    Are you okay?
[19:32] Tanaka
    Why don't you have a
    seat so we can talk?
[19:34] Tanaka
    I was feeling lonely because
    everybody had gone.
[19:42] Hijikata
    A murderer feeling lonely...?!
[19:46] Okita
    This guy has brought out
    a real carrot bomb!
[19:53] Both
    We can't hold him off!
[19:57] Okita
    Hijikata-san!
[19:58] Okita
    We've had this completely
    wrong from the beginning!
[20:03] Okita
    Think back!
[20:05] Okita
    This guy is a masochist!
[20:08] Okita
    Which means a normal carrot
    and stick won't work on him!
[20:12] Hijikata
    I-I see!
[20:13] Hijikata
    A masochist won't feel any
    pain from the stick!
[20:17] Hijikata
    So his carrot would be the stick!
[20:20] Hijikata
    We had the order wrong!
[20:23] Hijikata
    Using the stick and then carrot in that
    order didn't have any effect on him!
[20:29] Hijikata
    We have to hit him with
    the carrot, then the stick!
[20:38] Hijikata
    No, wait...
[20:40] Hijikata
    My carrot shouldn't have
    lost its effect yet.
[20:43] Hijikata
    Which means we need one more...
[20:45] Hijikata
    One more lash with the stick to
    complete our carrot and stick!
[20:49] Hijikata
    But he's so far away...
[20:51] Hijikata
    I'm losing my will to fight...
[20:55] Hijikata
    It's no use...
[20:56] Hijikata
    I can no longer...
[20:58] Hijikata
    fight...
[21:00] ---
    Toshi.
[21:02] Kondo
    Toshi...
[21:03] Kondo
    Toshi!
[21:04] Kondo
    Toshi!
[21:05] Yamazaki
    Vice-Chief!
[21:06] Hijikata
    You guys!
[21:12] Hijikata
    I can...
[21:13] Hijikata
    I can feel power surging through me!
[21:16] Hijikata
    I see...
[21:18] Hijikata
    Carrot and stick isn't
    limited to the enemy.
[21:23] Hijikata
    Our plight was the stick.
[21:26] Hijikata
    And the comrades who are able
    to rise up out of this plight
[21:31] Hijikata
    serve as the greatest carrot!
[21:36] All
    Go!
[21:39] Man
    Uh, this might be a bad
    time to interrupt you all.
[21:45] Man
    Uh, there was a mistake.
[21:48] Man
    That person isn't Kohei Tanaka.
[21:52] Man
    He's not a killer either.
[21:54] Man
    He's Kahei Tanaka, a good citizen
    who helped catch a shoplifter.
[21:59] Man
    He crashed into a store window when he
    caught the shoplifter, and hurt himself.
[22:04] Man
    so we brought him to the
    station to get treatment,
[22:06] Man
    but there was a mix-up since
    his name was similar.
[22:10] Man
    I'm really sorry about this.
[22:12] Man
    I'll bring the real Kohei now.
[22:15] Hijikata
    Combine the carrot with the stick...
[22:17] Kondo
    My katsudon is starting to spoil...
[22:18] Yamazaki
    Mr. Akimoto works so hard...
[22:18] Okita
    He was just a smiling nice person...
[22:21] All
    What the hell is this?!
SIGN    
[24:00] Kagura
    Uh, Eli, was that how you always looked?
[24:04] Kagura
    Was that how you always were?
[24:05] Katsura
    The next episode...
[24:06] Katsura
    "It's What's On The Inside That Counts."
[24:09] Katsura
    Plus another one.
