[00:01] Shinpachi
    Hey, Gin-san?!
[00:02] Shinpachi
    The movie we mentioned
    last week was for real?!
[00:05] Gintoki
    What? You didn't believe me?
[00:07] Shinpachi
    I mean, this show's been
    nothing but lies...
[00:09] Kagura
    That's not true.
[00:11] Kagura
    In the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf,
[00:12] Kagura
    a wolf actually showed up at
    the end and the boy died.
[00:15] Kagura
    Same goes for this show.
[00:17] Shinpachi
    Isn't that metaphor a little ominous?
[00:19] Gintoki
    In any case, we should celebrate.
[00:22] Gintoki
    So this week, we have
    something special.
[00:25] Kagura
    In celebration of the GinTama
    anime becoming a movie!
[00:27] Shinpachi
    And for DVD sales breaking one million!
[00:30] Gintoki
    The Second Character Popularity Poll!!
[00:32] All
    Here are the results!
[00:35] Kagura
    Except we're reusing the same CG.
[00:39] Shinpachi
    Well, this is still amazing!
[00:40] Shinpachi
    Not only has a movie been announced,
[00:42] Shinpachi
    but we've sold over a million DVD's
    without even realizing it!
[00:45] Gintoki
    More or less.
[00:46] Gintoki
    To be precise, we've
    sold 878,236 copies.
[00:49] Kagura
    If you round up, we've broken a million!

[00:52] Shinpachi
    Hold it!
[00:52] Shinpachi
    I've never heard of rounding up
    over 100,000 copies like that!
[00:55] Gintoki
    Stop sweating the nitty-gritty.
[00:57] Shinpachi
    100,000 is NOT nitty-gritty.
[00:59] Kagura
    Plus, you said this is the
    second popularity poll,
[01:03] Kagura
    but since when did we
    ever do a first one?
[01:05] Gintoki
    The first one came before
    there was an anime.
[01:08] Gintoki
    The anime staff had the same question
    so they went back through the manga.
[01:12] Shinpachi
    And there it was in the ninth volume!
[01:14] Kagura
    They should do a better job of reading
    the manga before they make an anime.
[01:17] Gintoki
    And so, here are the results
    of the Popularity Poll.
[01:19] Gintoki
    Starting with 30th through
    21st all at once!

    Humans are creatures

[05:44] Woman
    Here are the top ten most watched
    shows for the month.
[05:45] Shinpachi
    They have a tendency to
    compare everything.
[05:49] Shinpachi

    Shonen JUMP survey polls...
[05:59] Shinpachi
    For a while, there was a movement
    against this trend.
[06:02] Shinpachi
    There were schools that held sports
    festivals without standings,
[06:04] Shinpachi
    claiming everybody who tried
    hard should be first place.
[06:08] Shinpachi
    But that's been abandoned now.
[06:13] Shinpachi
    It's said that rankings are a way
    to know your own standing,
[06:16] Shinpachi
    so you can better improve yourself.
[06:23] Shinpachi
    However...
[06:26] Shinpachi

    after grueling hard work,
[06:31] Shinpachi
    what are you supposed to do?

    Yamazaki-san.
[07:14] Yamazaki
    You were about to call
    me 9th place, right?
[07:16] Yamazaki
    Not that I care, but you were about
    to call me 9th place, right?
[07:19] Yamazaki
    Aren't you working?
[07:20] Shinpachi
    Yeah, I'm just not in the mood...
[07:23] Yamazaki
    I see.
[07:24] Yamazaki
    You work with 1st and 6th.
[07:27] Yamazaki
    I've got 2nd and 3rd.
[07:29] Shinpachi
    Oh... The same for you too, huh?.
[07:32] Yamazaki
    I can't stand the smug looks...
[07:35] Yamazaki
    Captain Okita didn't say
    anything last time either,
[07:37] Yamazaki
    but that look on his face...

    Like, they're being conscious
    about it, aren't they?
[07:48] Shinpachi
    Deep down, they're being all proud
    of themselves, you know?
[07:53] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan and Sadaharu
    both went up...
[07:58] Shinpachi
    I'm the only one who didn't
    change... Still at 8th.
[08:03] Yamazaki
    What's so bad about not changing?
[08:06] Yamazaki
    My rank went down.
[08:08] Shinpachi
    Oh, sorry. That wasn't my intention...
[08:10] Yamazaki
    Maybe the mohawk was a problem...
[08:13] Shinpachi
    I'm very sorry...
[08:14] Yamazaki
    No, it doesn't matter.
[08:16] Yamazaki
    Less stress this way.
[08:19] Yamazaki
    My previous ranking was
    odd to begin with.
[08:21] Yamazaki
    Must have been an organized vote,
    or some under-the-table business...
[08:25] Shinpachi
    Th-That's not true.
[08:27] Shinpachi
    It's impressive, considering how
    little screen time you get.
[08:31] Shinpachi
    I have the second-most screen
    time in the show...
[08:37] Shinpachi
    Uh... Did we do something wrong?
[08:43] Yamazaki
    No... It's not an issue of right or wrong...
[08:47] Yamazaki
    The problem would be that
    we haven't done anything...
[08:51] Yamazaki
    You've gotta catch their attention...
[08:53] Yamazaki
    Whether in a good way or a bad way,
[08:56] Yamazaki
    if you can't hook the audience, you're
    going to pass under their radar.
[09:01] Shinpachi
    A hook...
[09:02] Shinpachi
    It's true that we haven't done that.
[09:04] Shinpachi
    Ah, sorry about grouping us together.
[09:07] Yamazaki
    Nah, it's fine.
[09:08] Yamazaki
    You don't need to be considerate today.
[09:11] Shinpachi
    But it's too late to try to hook them...
[09:13] Shinpachi
    Quite frankly, I think it's over...
    This is as far as I can go...
[09:21] Shinpachi
    No matter what I do, my image's
    been established.
[09:25] Shinpachi
    And Bandai-Namco is clearly
    looking down on me...
[09:30] Shinpachi
    Maybe it's just wrong for me wanting
    to be more popular...
[09:35] Shinpachi
    Wishing for character merchandise
    based off of me...
[09:41] Shinpachi
    Maybe they've realized
    how desperate I am...
[09:47] Shinpachi
    Maybe it's turned people off...
[09:52] Yamazaki
    Shinpachi-kun...
[09:53] Yamazaki
    Is it so shameful to place 8th and 9th?
[09:57] Shinpachi
    Huh?
[09:59] Yamazaki
    Wouldn't 8th and 9th place be as good
    as first for boring characters like us?

    Yamazaki-san...
[10:11] Yamazaki
    Even if we're to place 1st or 2nd,
[10:14] Yamazaki
    would that be okay?
[10:16] Yamazaki
    No, right?
[10:18] Yamazaki
    There are plenty of colorful
    people, flowers, around us.
[10:24] Yamazaki
    And those flowers need dirt,
    a steppingstone, to bloom.
[10:31] Yamazaki
    We don't need to become number
    one in a popularity poll.

    but she might as well be!

    In war, he who strikes first, wins.
[18:26] Kyu
    Fortunately, the highest-ranked
    characters didn't gain anything.
[18:29] Kyu
    They haven't noticed this mess.
[18:32] Kyu
    Now is our chance to
    catch them off guard.
[18:36] Sa
    So you say, but you're the highest
    ranked character here.
[18:40] Sa
    Won't you end up 1st in the end?
[18:44] Kyu
    Once I have completed my conquest...
[18:48] Kyu
    I will...!
[18:52] Kyu
    Take my own life.
[18:54] Shinpachi
    Why are you risking your
    life for a popularity poll?!
[18:56] Otae
    You don't have to do that, Kyu-chan!

    Besides, I can't possibly do such
    terrible things for personal gain.

    That's right! Gin-san's included, so
    we can set the cutoff at 8th place.
[19:13] Shinpachi
    That barely includes me!
[19:14] Shinpachi
    Couldn't you barely leave me out?!
[19:17] Otae
    But maybe we shouldn't...
[19:19] Shinpachi
    Yes! That's good!
[19:20] Shinpachi
    Peace is good.
[19:22] Otae
    After all, that would include Kagura-chan
    and Sadaharu-kun...
[19:25] Shinpachi
    Hey, what about me?!
[19:28] Otae
    Oh?
[19:32] Otae
    Who is this girl?
[19:34] Sa
    Tsukuyo? What is this?
[19:36] Sa
    Who is this? What's with this girl?!
[19:38] Sa
    Why is she ranked 9th ahead of us?!
[19:42] Sa
    Wait, Otae-san.
[19:43] Sa
    This girl had twice the votes you did!
[19:46] Otae
    O-Oh...?
[19:48] Otae
    Ah, she's fairly cute, I guess.
[19:51] Sa
    Fairly cute? This girl...
[19:52] Sa
    is loaded with hooks!
[19:54] Sa
    A scar on her face plus the pipe!
[19:56] Sa
    How greedy is she?!
[19:58] Sa
    What's wrong with this girl?!
[19:59] Kyu
    According to Tojo's investigation,
[20:01] Kyu
    she speaks with a classic
    prostitute accent.
[20:03] Sa
    What?!
[20:04] Sa
    What's with this girl?!
[20:06] Sa
    Otae-san, what's with this girl?!
[20:08] Sa
    What?! What?!
[20:08] Otae
    O-Oh...? She's determined
    to make an impression...
[20:11] Otae
    There's no need to speak
    in such a manner.
[20:14] Shinpachi
    This is starting to get scary...
[20:18] Kyu
    And also according to
    Tojo's investigation,
[20:20] Kyu
    Gintoki groped her breast.
[20:22] Sa
    Groped?!
[20:23] Sa
    What the hell?!
[20:24] Sa
    I ain't never been groped, biotch!
[20:27] Shinpachi
    Say, this is starting to get ugly...
[20:32] Otae
    Oh...?
[20:33] Otae
    Ah, that's why Gin-san's
    been down on his luck.
[20:36] Otae
    This girl must be a bad luck woman.
[20:38] Sa
    You're right.
[20:39] Sa
    Her face screams bad luck, biotch!
[20:42] Otae
    Right? Nothing good can come from
    getting involved with this type.
[20:46] Otae
    Poor thing.
[20:47] Kyu
    What, this is the bad luck
    woman I've heard about?
[20:51] Shinpachi
    Coming from three of the
    worst bad luck women!
[20:54] Shinpachi
    Stop it!!
[20:55] Shinpachi
    I don't want to see any
    more of this ugly act!!
[20:58] Kyu
    And according to Tojo's investigation,
[21:00] Kyu
    she was featured from episodes
    177 through 181.
[21:06] Otae
    Oh...?
[21:08] Otae
    Then starting from episode 182...
[21:11] Sa
    She shouldn't need any
    more screen time!
[21:13] Shinpachi
    Sis! Sa-chan-san!
[21:16] Shinpachi
    Stop! Somebody stop them!!
[21:18] Kyu
    I see...
[21:19] Kyu
    Then we should attack her first?
[21:23] Kyu
    Otae-chan, where are you going?
[21:25] Otae
    I'll let the two of you handle her.
[21:27] Otae
    I'm going to deal with the source.
[21:29] Kyu
    Source?
[21:31] Otae
    To make sure there aren't any more new female
    characters taking away my screen time...
[21:40] Otae
    I'll go crush the gorilla in 15th.
[21:42] Shinpachi
    Not the gorilla!
[21:43] Shinpachi
    This manga, I mean, anime will end!
[21:47] Shinpachi
    This is bad!
[21:49] Shinpachi
    This is getting really bad!
[21:50] Shinpachi
    On second thought, I shouldn't
    be searching for a perpetrator,
[21:53] Shinpachi
    when I'm surrounded by all these egotistical people
    who could become perpetrators at any minute!
[21:58] Shinpachi
    What do I do?!
[21:59] Shinpachi
    What do I do to stop this?!
[22:01] Shinpachi
    I need someone's help!
[22:03] Shinpachi
    The one person who would never become
    a perpetrator in this situation...
[22:10] Shinpachi
    I'll have to rely on the guy in 1st!
[22:18] Shinpachi
    Huh?
[22:20] Shinpachi
    Wh-What is this?!
[22:24] Shinpachi
    Something's wrong...
[22:27] Shinpachi
    All distorted...
[22:31] Shinpachi
    Is this...
[22:33] Shinpachi
    Could it be...
