[00:30] Shoyo
    I came after hearing about
    a corpse-eating demon...
[00:34] Shoyo
    Would that be you?
[00:37] Shoyo
    A rather cute demon.
[00:47] Shoyo
    Did you also take that from a corpse?
[00:52] Shoyo
    A single child stripping corpses
    to protect himself, is it?
[00:59] Shoyo
    That's very impressive.
[01:02] Shoyo
    However, you no longer need that sword.
[01:09] Shoyo
    A sword that's only swung in self-defense,
    while fearing others,
[01:16] Shoyo
    should be thrown away.
[01:25] Shoyo
    I shall give you my sword.
[01:31] Shoyo
    If you wish to learn how
    to properly use it...
[01:33] Shoyo
    Then come with me.
[03:17] Gintoki
    Hey...
[03:19] Gintoki
    Get your hands off her.
[03:21] Gintoki
    Get your stinkin' hands off this woman.
[03:23] Jiraia
    Y-You're...?!
[03:39] Tsukuyo
    Gintoki...
[03:48] Tsukuyo
    Why did you...
[03:50] Tsukuyo
    come here...?
SIGN    ["The More Precious the Burden, the Heavier and More Difficult It Is to Shoulder It."]
[04:03] Tsukuyo
    Look at yourself...
[04:06] Tsukuyo
    I told you to run...
[04:09] Tsukuyo
    You fool...
[04:11] Gintoki
    I won't be dying.
[04:15] Gintoki
    Nobody will be dying.
[04:22] Gintoki
    I won't let anyone die in Yoshiwara.
[04:28] Gintoki
    You see...
[04:32] Gintoki
    We aren't gonna leave you all alone.
[04:42] Jiraia
    You followed my threads
    to find this place?
[04:49] Jiraia
    Commendable.
[04:52] Jiraia
    They say one climbs the spider
    thread to reach for paradise...
SIGN    [Note: A reference to Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "The Spider's Thread"]
[04:55] Jiraia
    Instead, you climb up to reach for hell.
[05:04] Jiraia
    Your idiocy would leave Buddha
    and Enma both speechless.
[05:14] Tsukuyo
    Wait, Gintoki...!
[05:16] Gintoki
    Don't bother telling me to run again.
[05:21] Gintoki
    Trying to shoulder the burden
    all by yourself?
[05:24] Gintoki
    Don't be such a stranger.
[05:27] Gintoki
    Weep and ask for help.
[05:30] Gintoki
    Lean on me with your runny nose.
[05:34] Gintoki
    Cry when you feel like crying.
[05:37] Gintoki
    Laugh when you feel like laughing.
[05:41] Gintoki
    When you're tearing up with an ugly face,
[05:44] Gintoki
    I'll give you a good cry
    with an uglier face.
[05:48] Gintoki
    When you're laughing so
    hard your stomach hurts,
[05:51] Gintoki
    I'll laugh in a louder voice.
[05:58] Gintoki
    That's how it should be.
[06:01] Gintoki
    It's far better to get dirty while
    living true to yourself,
[06:06] Gintoki
    than to throw away yourself
    and die a clean death.
[06:14] Jiraia
    You offer to carry her burden?
[06:17] Jiraia
    You will help carry Tsukuyo's burden?
[06:23] Jiraia
    Don't you understand?
[06:25] Jiraia
    You are Tsukuyo's burden.
[06:30] Jiraia
    You people are the reason Tsukuyo
    has suffered so much.
[06:34] Jiraia
    The reason she's grown so hideous.
[06:49] Jiraia
    Tsukuyo, you must be hungry.
[06:52] Jiraia
    I shall prepare you a top class meal.
[06:55] Jiraia
    Of the pathetic worm who followed
    the moon into my web.
[07:05] Gintoki
    I don't give a damn about
    who you've betrayed.
[07:09] Gintoki
    Do whatever you like to the
    Shogun or any other lords.
[07:14] Gintoki
    But you called yourself her master
[07:17] Gintoki
    and then you betrayed your student...
[07:22] Gintoki
    who's believed in you
    since she was a kid...
[07:26] Gintoki
    Who's followed in your
    footsteps for so long...
[07:29] Gintoki
    You made her your prey.
[07:33] Gintoki
    You don't deserve to call
    yourself her master...
[07:37] Gintoki
    You don't deserve to
    call her your student.
[07:41] Gintoki
    Get lost.
[07:45] Gintoki
    Don't ever show your face around
    her again, you sick son of a bitch!!
[07:50] Jiraia
    This man...
[07:51] Jiraia
    His eyes aren't that of a prey.
[07:54] Jiraia
    Nor the eyes of a meal.
[07:58] Jiraia
    My threads are quivering.
[08:03] Jiraia
    My web is reacting to an
    unprecedented invasion.
[08:10] Jiraia
    That's...
[08:12] Jiraia
    Those eyes are...!
[08:19] Gintoki
    Jiraia...
[08:21] Gintoki
    You're the one who's been
    caught in a web.
[08:24] Gintoki
    My web.
[08:25] Gintoki
    Now that you've made
    a mess of my place,
[08:28] Gintoki
    don't expect to leave alive.
[08:30] Gintoki
    Spill your rotten gut as you die!
[08:36] Jiraia
    A battle between hunters?
[08:40] Jiraia
    Amusing.
[08:43] Jiraia
    I'll show you who the
    master of this web is.
[08:47] Jiraia
    Any place with my threads, be it the
    six realms, shall be part of my web!
[09:04] Jiraia
    You cannot catch me with those injuries.
[09:09] Jiraia
    Do you intend to escape outside?!
[09:11] Jiraia
    Fool!
[09:15] Gintoki
    You're the fool.
[09:38] Gintoki
    Gotcha.
[09:43] Gintoki
    Now, time for supper.
[09:47] Gintoki
    Let's dig in!
[09:51] Shoyo
    If you wish to learn how
    to properly use it...
[09:54] Shoyo
    Then come with me.
[09:56] Shoyo
    From now on, you will swing that sword.
[09:58] Shoyo
    Not to cut down your enemies.
[10:02] Shoyo
    Not to cut away your weaknesses
    and protect yourself.
[10:07] Shoyo
    But to protect your very soul.
[10:36] Tsukuyo
    Gintoki!
[10:43] Jiraia
    How...?
[10:46] Jiraia
    How can you have power that rivals mine?
[10:52] Jiraia
    By someone unable to abandon
    their sense of self...
[10:56] Jiraia
    By someone who can't even sever their ties,
    just to have a place to return to...?!
[11:01] Jiraia
    I have sacrificed everything...
[11:04] Jiraia
    My sense of self, my home,
    even my comrades...
[11:10] Jiraia
    All for my prey...
[11:12] Jiraia
    For you...
[11:14] Jiraia
    Yet why...? Why?!
[11:17] Gintoki
    You still can't understand?
[11:22] Gintoki
    Some of the things you sacrificed
    were too important.
[11:27] Gintoki
    You abandoned your comrades?
[11:29] Gintoki
    No.
[11:30] Gintoki
    You were afraid of losing your comrades.
[11:33] Gintoki
    You fought alone?
[11:35] Gintoki
    No!
[11:36] Gintoki
    You wouldn't have to feel the pain of solitude
    if you'd been alone to begin with.
[11:41] Gintoki
    You abandoned your sense of self?
[11:43] Gintoki
    No.
[11:44] Gintoki
    You were running away from the pain
    you caused and the pain you endured.
[11:49] Gintoki
    You're just a coward!
[11:53] Gintoki
    She's far stronger than
    you could ever be.
[11:58] Gintoki
    A coward is enough to deal
    with another coward.
[12:02] Gintoki
    I'm enough to take you.
[12:07] Jiraia
    Silence!
[12:09] Gintoki
    You don't have the right to
    call yourself her master!
[12:18] Gintoki
    You don't have the strength to shoulder
    a student and their pain!!
[12:55] Tsukuyo
    Gintoki...
[13:02] Gintoki
    Let's go back.
[13:04] Gintoki
    To your home...
[13:16] Tsukuyo
    Jiraia! Stop!
[13:19] Gintoki
    Give up already.
[13:23] Gintoki
    There's nothing in your web.
[13:28] Gintoki
    This whole time, there was only
    ever a pathetic little spider,
[13:33] Gintoki
    spinning threads into the sky while
    gazing at the distant moon.
[13:41] Jiraia
    What are you babbling about?
[13:43] Jiraia
    I already knew that long ago.
[13:49] Tsukuyo
    Stop! Jiraia!
[14:08] Jiraia
    Yes...
[14:10] Jiraia
    This is how...
[14:12] Jiraia
    How it should be...
[14:21] Jiraia
    The spider will disappear
    in a pool of blood.
[14:25] Jiraia
    It doesn't...
[14:28] Jiraia
    feel as good as I expected...
[14:33] Jiraia
    to be killed by myself.
[14:39] Jiraia
    I want to kill myself.
[14:44] Tsukuyo
    Jiraia, were you...?
[14:47] Zenzo
    Jiraia, your final prey...
[14:52] Zenzo
    was you yourself, huh?
[14:55] Zenzo
    Your goal wasn't to kill the clone
    you'd raised and trained.
[15:03] Zenzo
    It was to be killed by your beloved
    student, as yourself.
[15:11] Jiraia
    Th-The boss's son, is it...?
[15:15] Jiraia
    We met once before.
[15:19] Jiraia
    Have you come to avenge your
    father and comrades again?
[15:27] Zenzo
    I lost interest in revenge a long time ago.
[15:34] Zenzo
    I have no interest in crushing a spider
    who's fallen to earth.
[15:40] Zenzo
    ...Danzo.
[15:46] Zenzo
    So you've done your research.
[15:49] Zenzo
    Jiraia the Spider.
[15:51] Zenzo
    Real name: Danzo Tobita.
[15:54] Zenzo
    Born to a country samurai in Iga and mastered
    ninja techniques at a young age.
[15:59] Zenzo
    Your natural aptitude had people
    calling you a prodigy.
[16:03] Zenzo
    The samurai in Iga were
    fighting year round.
[16:07] Zenzo
    The Tobita family was one
    of the larger families in Iga.
[16:10] Zenzo
    With such a talented son in line to take over,
    its foes weren't going to stand by idly.
[16:16] Zenzo
    The only survivors were you
    and your still young sister.
[16:20] Zenzo
    You felt ashamed of the skills which kept
    you alive while everyone else was killed.
[16:23] Zenzo
    With the life of your only remaining
    family hostage,
[16:30] Zenzo
    you were forced to swear fealty to your hated
    enemy, what would have been your prey.
[16:40] Zenzo
    That gave birth to your twisted
    sense of devotion.
[16:44] Zenzo
    Sacrifice oneself for the country.
[16:47] Zenzo
    You literally sacrificed your sense
    of self to devote yourself to work.
[16:52] Zenzo
    No, you had no choice.
[16:55] Zenzo
    Your only escape from the hate,
[16:59] Zenzo
    sorrow, and shame of serving the ones
    who exterminated your family
[17:05] Zenzo
    was to forget your identity and focus on mechanically
    carrying out mission after mission.
[17:11] Zenzo
    You used that intoxication
    to escape the pain.
[17:17] Zenzo
    However, your sister couldn't bear
    seeing her older brother like that.
[17:22] Sister
    No more... No more.
[17:25] Sister
    Stop pushing yourself for my sake.
[17:29] Sister
    Dear brother, live your own life.
[17:33] Sister
    Live freely for yourself.
[17:40] Zenzo
    Your sister took her own life.
[17:44] Zenzo
    After all the prey you took,
    all the pain to your body,
[17:48] Zenzo
    you still couldn't protect your sister.
[17:50] Zenzo
    To this very day, you're still
    haunted by that fact.
[17:55] Zenzo
    And so you attempted to kill yourself
    in the worst possible way.
[17:59] Zenzo
    You would become the enemy of
    the beloved student you'd raised,
[18:07] Zenzo
    and die by her hands.
[18:11] Zenzo
    That was your self-inflicted punishment
    for failing to protect your sister.
[18:17] Jiraia
    No...
[18:19] Jiraia
    I was just scared.
[18:23] Jiraia
    Just as you said,
[18:26] Jiraia
    I was scared of losing anything else...
[18:29] Jiraia
    A coward who was too scared
    to bear the burden.
[18:34] Jiraia
    That is why I became drawn to her.
[18:37] Tsukuyo
    I wanna protect Yoshiwara and Hinowa!
[18:41] Jiraia
    The child who tried to shoulder
    everything on that small back...
[18:48] Jiraia
    That was why I taught
    you everything I knew.
[18:54] Jiraia
    I didn't want you to be hurt...
[18:56] Jiraia
    The way I was...
[18:59] Jiraia
    If we are doomed to experience
    the suffering from a loss,
[19:03] Jiraia
    then why shoulder the
    burden to begin with?
[19:07] Jiraia
    No need for a home or comrades...
[19:11] Jiraia
    But you defied my expectations...
[19:15] Jiraia
    You've managed to find
    friends... a home...
[19:22] Jiraia
    You possessed a strength I never did.
[19:27] Jiraia
    The strength to not run away from the pain
    you caused, the pain you endured...
[19:33] Jiraia
    I was scared of losing
    someone else again...
[19:38] Jiraia
    You were headed somewhere
    far away from me...
[19:43] Jiraia
    I...
[19:45] Jiraia
    ...was trying to draw you back...
[19:47] Jiraia
    To the same fate I suffered...
[19:51] Jiraia
    In the end, I wasn't protecting
    you or my sister...
[20:01] Jiraia
    I was only protecting myself...
[20:05] Jiraia
    And I became tired of myself.
[20:10] Jiraia
    That was all...
[20:15] Jiraia
    I planned on never shouldering
    another burden,
[20:19] Jiraia
    yet I'd managed to do it again.
[20:24] Jiraia
    I planned on never forcing anyone
    else to shoulder my burden,
[20:28] Jiraia
    yet I'd managed to do it again.
[20:32] Jiraia
    Tsukuyo, I forced you to shoulder
    a worthless burden.
[20:37] Jiraia
    I am sorry...
[20:53] Tsukuyo
    I wish you had told me this sooner.
[20:58] Tsukuyo
    I wish you had allowed me
    to share your burden.
[21:04] Tsukuyo
    We would have been able to
    arrive at a different answer.
[21:10] Tsukuyo
    If the master's duty is to shoulder
    the student along with their pain,
[21:14] Tsukuyo
    what is the student's duty?
[21:18] Tsukuyo
    To grow strong enough
    to shoulder the master.
[21:22] Tsukuyo
    You're light...
[21:23] Tsukuyo
    So light, Master...
[21:26] Tsukuyo
    I never knew you were so light...
[21:32] Tsukuyo
    Can you see, Master?
[21:53] Jiraia
    Yes...
[21:54] Jiraia
    Yes...!
[21:57] Jiraia
    I can see...
[21:59] Jiraia
    A moon more beautiful...
[22:02] Jiraia
    than any...I've ever seen...
[22:10] Zenzo
    That's one helluva student.
[22:12] Zenzo
    A student's duty is to grow strong enough
    to shoulder the master, huh?
[22:17] Zenzo
    I was always relying on my old man,
[22:20] Zenzo
    so I was never able to do that.
[22:28] Gintoki
    ...Same here.
