[00:01] Shinpachi
    Uh, Gin-san?
[00:03] Gintoki
    What is it, Shinpachi?
[00:05] Shinpachi
    Just to be clear, what was that countdown
    you mentioned in the preview last week?
[00:11] Shinpachi
    Was it just the usual...?
[00:13] Gintoki
    Another fake ending scam?
[00:15] Gintoki
    Of course not.
[00:16] Gintoki
    We're actually having
    a countdown today.
[00:18] Gintoki
    I'm a grown-up. I'm not
    going to lie every time.
[00:23] Gintoki
    It's a matter of trust.
[00:25] Kagura
    You think that people
    still trust this show?
[00:28] Gintoki
    Ouch, Kagura-chan!
[00:30] Gintoki
    Where did you learn to be so hateful?!
[00:32] Shinpachi
    You can't blame them, Gin-san.
[00:34] Shinpachi
    We said we're entering the "final chapter"
    around the same time last year.
[00:38] Shinpachi
    That means we've been in the "final
    chapter" for a whole year.
[00:41] Shinpachi
    Plus there was the whole fake last episode
    fiasco at the end of our third year.
[00:45] Gintoki
    Oh, that.
[00:46] Gintoki
    Well, they just wanted to try
    out some last episode gag.
[00:49] Gintoki
    It wasn't meant to trick the audience.
[00:52] Gintoki
    We figured that everybody was used
    to the show's style by now, but...
[00:57] Kagura
    The phones at TV Tokyo were ringing non-stop
    right from the start of that episode.
[01:02] Shinpachi
    And because I made an ambiguous
    statement about Sunrise,
[01:06] Shinpachi
    "Sunrise" became the number
    one searched term on the net.
[01:10] Shinpachi
    The script actually had me saying
    that Sunrise went bankrupt.
[01:14] Shinpachi
    Naturally, we got called by the producers'
    higher-ups at the time and got yelled at.
[01:17] Shinpachi
    "Do you have any idea what it means
    to be a publicly traded company?!"
[01:20] Kagura
    Even the staff got a call from their families who
    were watching the show and were asked,
[01:23] Kagura
    "It looks like GinTama is ending.
    Do you have another job lined up?"
[01:29] Kagura
    Why would you want to trick your family?
[01:31] Gintoki
    Yeah, yeah. I get it already. We're sorry.
[01:34] Gintoki
    That's why we're actually having
    a countdown today.
[01:36] Gintoki
    No lies, I swear!
[01:38] Shinpachi
    Are you sure?
[01:39] Kagura
    Is the GinTama anime really
    having a countdown?
[01:42] Gintoki
    Really! Look at my eyes!
[01:45] Gintoki
    Do I look like I'm lying?
[01:47] Shinpachi
    Sorry, we've only got a background
    shot, so I can't tell.
[01:50] Gintoki
    So let's begin the GinTama
    anime countdown!
[01:52] Gintoki
    Coming up next!
[01:54] Shinpachi
    Did he just dismiss me?!
SIGN    ["Countdown Begins"]
[02:00] Gintoki
    Wow! Good evening to everyone
    watching Countdown GinTama!
[02:02] Shinpachi
    Huh? What is this?
[02:04] Gintoki
    Thank you for sending in your votes!
[02:05] Shinpachi
    Wh-Why're we CGI?
[02:07] Gintoki
    Now let's get right to it!
[02:09] Gintoki
    Number one for the best GinTama
    lines ranking is...
[02:12] Gintoki
    Count...
[02:13] All
    Down!
SIGN    [Best GinTama Lines Ranking #1]
[02:20] Bansai
    Gintoki Sakata... You are a ghost.
[02:24] Bansai
    You once tried to protect this country
    along with Shinsuke and the others.
[02:29] Bansai
    You are obsessed and unable to let go.
[02:35] Bansai
    You are a living ghost!
[02:38] Bansai
    There is no longer anything
    for you to protect!
[02:42] Bansai
    Ghosts should go back
    where they belong.
[02:53] Bansai
    I'll play a requiem!
[03:02] Bansai
    The strings...!
[03:07] Gintoki
    Hey, tough guy!
[03:09] Gintoki
    Take off those headphones, dammit!
[03:13] Bansai
    When did he get ahold of my strings?
[03:15] Bansai
    What're you waiting for? Fire!
[03:19] Gintoki
    Clean out your ears and listen up!
[03:23] Gintoki
    I've never once fought for the
    sake of this cheap country.
[03:28] Gintoki
    I couldn't care less...
[03:31] Gintoki
    if this country or samurai
    fell. I have always...
[03:36] Gintoki
    Then, and now...
[03:38] Gintoki
    What I protect...
[03:42] Gintoki
    has never changed!
[03:48] Gintoki
    Okay!
[03:49] Gintoki
    So number one in the "Best GinTama Line
    Ranking" was Gintoki Sakata with,
[03:54] Gintoki
    "Then, and now, what I protect
    has never changed!"
[03:57] Gintoki
    Man, I'm awesome.
[03:59] Gintoki
    The main characters in a
    JUMP Anime always rule.
[04:02] Gintoki
    Even machine gun bullets
    were swerving around me.
[04:04] Shinpachi
    Now hold it right there!
[04:05] Shinpachi
    I mean, this...
[04:07] Shinpachi
    This really is just a Count Down TV!!
SIGN    [Note: Count Down TV. A late night Japanese music ranking show that is hosted by CG animated characters.]
[04:09] Gintoki
    Yep! Gin-san never lies!
[04:11] Shinpachi
    Fine, you didn't lie,
[04:13] Shinpachi
    but you still tricked the audience!
[04:15] Kagura
    We got caught up in the flow
    and yelled "Down!" with you.
[04:19] Kagura
    Is this the annual recap episode that we do
    right before the start of the Fall season?
[04:25] Gintoki
    Exactly.
[04:26] Gintoki
    Man, we always manage to burn through the
    budget for the first two quarters by this time.
[04:32] Gintoki
    So we have to throw in a recap episode.
[04:33] Shinpachi
    Will you stop with the graphic
    production details?
[04:36] Gintoki
    We had a teensy bit of budget left over,
    so we were able to do this CG.
[04:40] Kagura
    Well, that's only natural after all the
    alternate route bonuses we used.
[04:45] Gintoki
    That's right!
[04:46] Gintoki
    The entire fourth year of the GinTama anime is like
    a bonus that came with the previous three years.
[04:51] Shinpachi
    Don't be so brutal!
[04:53] Gintoki
    Well, back to the subject at hand.
[04:55] Gintoki
    We'll continue with the best lines ranking!
[04:57] Kagura
    And when was the poll
    for this even done?
[05:01] Gintoki
    It was a legitimate vote...
[05:03] Gintoki
    In Shonen JUMP...
[05:04] Shinpachi
    How long ago was that?!
[05:06] Gintoki
    Count...
[05:07] All
    Down!

[05:13] Kondo
    You idiot!
[05:15] Kondo
    Why do you always put all
    the burden on yourself?
[05:18] Kondo
    So you plan on being the bad
    guy all by yourself too?
[05:23] Kondo
    I know how you feel, Toshi...
[05:26] Kondo
    ...About Mitsuba-dono!
[05:40] Kuraba
    What a pity.
[05:43] Kuraba
    I'm sure Mitsuba will be sad, too.
[05:45] Kuraba
    To lose one of her old friends.
[05:48] Kuraba
    I really wanted to be on good
    terms with you people.
[05:53] Kuraba
    If I got the backing of the Shinsengumi,
[05:56] Kuraba
    then I could run my business
    without any restrictions.
[05:59] Kuraba
    That's why I approached one of your relatives
    and even set out to marry her,
[06:03] Kuraba
    but who knew she was that sick?
[06:07] Toshi
    So from the start, you just used
    her to get us on your side?
[06:13] Kuraba
    I loved her.
[06:15] Kuraba
    As a merchant, I love things
    that will make me a profit.
[06:18] Kuraba
    But only as a tool.
[06:26] Sogo
    I just want her to taste a bit of happiness
    like other people before she dies.
[06:38] Toshi
    I won't call you a bastard.
[06:40] Toshi
    I'm no better.
[06:42] Toshi
    I've done more than my
    share of bad things.
[06:45] Toshi
    And to top it off, I'm trying to kill
    the husband of a dying woman.
[06:49] Toshi
    Sad, isn't it?
[06:52] Kuraba
    So you can say, we're like two of a kind.
[06:55] Kuraba
    No wonder they call you
    the demon Vice-Chief.
[06:58] Kuraba
    I think you and I will get along well.
[07:01] Toshi
    That's really...
[07:02] Toshi
    ...an exaggeration.
[07:10] Toshi
    I just...
[07:12] Toshi
    ...want the girl I love to be happy.
[07:16] Shinpachi
    Boy, Hijikata-san's great.
[07:19] Shinpachi
    He knows how to be a man.
[07:20] Shinpachi
    That was awesome.
[07:22] Shinpachi
    Huh?
[07:23] Shinpachi
    Gin-san? You seem to have
    a problem with the ranking.
[07:25] Gintoki
    Damn right I do!
[07:27] Gintoki
    Sheesh, why is he in second?
[07:29] Gintoki
    He might act all cool and all, but he's just
    another comic relief character now!
[07:33] Kagura
    That's right.
[07:34] Kagura
    Between his mayo obsession
    and Toshi,
[07:35] Kagura
    any serious line from him ends
    up sounding like a joke!
[07:39] Gintoki
    Right!
[07:40] Shinpachi
    Uh, you people have no right
    to say that to Hijikata-san.
[07:43] Gintoki
    Besides, his best lines would be like:
[07:47] Toshi
    We've run out of mayonnaise!!
[07:50] Toshi
    Live happily, mayo!
[07:53] Hijikata
    I-It...
[07:54] Hijikata
    It's stuck!
[07:57] Toshi
    Finally, I've got enough mayonnaise!
[08:01] Shinpachi
    You two really are evil.
[08:03] Shinpachi
    That was a horrible selection!
[08:06] Gintoki
    Well, I feel much better now, so here's
    the best line ranking, count...
[08:10] All
    Down!
SIGN    [Best GinTama Lines Ranking #3]

    So this is the end of the line?

    Rather than be caught by the enemy,
[09:02] Zura
    let us finish as warriors
    and slash our bellies.
[09:09] Gintoki
    Don't be stupid.
[09:13] Gintoki
    Stand up.
[09:19] Gintoki
    If you've got enough time to fantasize
    about your beautiful death,
[09:23] Gintoki
    why don't you live your life
    beautifully to the end?
[09:27] Shinpachi
    Huh?
[09:28] Shinpachi
    Those lines sounded familiar,
[09:30] Shinpachi
    but we've never seen
    those images on TV?
[09:32] Kagura
    Zura and Gin-chan seemed
    really high quality too.
[09:36] Gintoki
    No worries. No worries.
[09:37] Gintoki
    And don't be concerned about footage from
    last year's anime tour being mixed in.
[09:40] Shinpachi
    Wait! Are we okay with this?!
[09:42] Shinpachi
    Doesn't that involve a bunch of copyright
    issues and other stuff we can't mention?!
[09:45] Gintoki
    It's fine.
[09:46] Gintoki
    The producers are in their suits and
    explaining it to everybody right now.
[09:50] Shinpachi
    It's not fine then!
[09:52] Gintoki
    Then we'll continue the ranking
    after the commercials!

    No, Kagura-chan's exactly right.

    It's not Master. It's Katsura.
[18:38] Zura
    It's not Zura. It's Katsura.
[18:40] Zura
    It's not Zura. It's Katsura.
[18:41] Zura
    I'm not okay and it's Katsura.
[18:43] Zura
    It's not Zura, it's Ka-
[18:47] Zura
    It's not Zura. It's Katsura.
[18:49] Zura
    It's not Zura. It's Katsura.
[18:51] Zura
    It's not Zura-chi. I'm Ill Smith.
[18:55] Shinpachi
    Enough already!
[18:56] Shinpachi
    How many times does he need
    to introduce himself?!
[18:58] Kagura
    It stopped making sense
    about halfway through.
[19:03] Kagura
    Like a guest that barfs and falls.
[19:05] Shinpachi
    Don't you mean Gestaltzerfall?
[19:07] Gintoki
    Well, only the tenth place one is left.
[19:09] Kagura
    Whose line will take the last spot?
[19:12] Shinpachi
    Man, I can't wait to see.
[19:13] Shinpachi
    I sense a glimmer of hope now that
    we're down to the tenth spot.
[19:16] Gintoki
    Then here's the final best line!
[19:19] All
    Count...
[19:21] All
    Down!

    Give me a break, Mom...

    Today's Sunday.
[19:30] Okita
    Yer such a moron!
[19:32] Toshi
    Today is Tuesday!
[19:34] Toshi
    You nitwit...
[19:35] Toshi
    What if the Anti-Foreigner Faction stormed
    this place while you were goofing off?!
[19:38] Toshi
    Take this job seriously.
[19:40] Okita
    When do I ever not take
    this job seriously?
[19:42] Hata
    The only one I never take seriously
    is you, Hijikata-san!
[19:45] All
    Wait! You again?!
[19:48] Hata
    Right? You can't hold one
    of these without me.
[19:52] Gintoki
    Bastard...
[19:53] Gintoki
    Do you have any idea how many complaints we got from
    the fans when you did a voice-over on Takasugi?!
[19:58] Hata
    Two?
[19:59] Shinpachi
    Are you kidding me?!
[20:00] Shinpachi
    This is bad, Gin-san.
[20:01] Shinpachi
    It just had to be Okita-san!
[20:04] Kagura
    Shinpachi, my tummy's starting to hurt.
[20:08] Kagura
    I might need to go barf and fall.
[20:10] Shinpachi
    Ah!
[20:11] Shinpachi
    Hold on, Kagura-chan!
[20:12] Gintoki
    Shinpachi, I'll let you handle this.
[20:14] Shinpachi
    What? Hey!
[20:15] Shinpachi
    Hold on!
[20:19] Shinpachi
    Uh, how am I supposed to end this?
[20:21] Hata
    Allow me to handle this.
[20:23] Hata
    No worries.
[20:24] Hata
    Then I'll present my own version of
    the best GinTama lines ranking.
