**[01:36] Pirako**
We appreciate your cooperation.
**[01:39] Pirako**
It won't be long before the Jirocho gang and Lady Kada control the Kabuki district.
**[01:45] Kada**
Nonsense.
**[01:47] Kada**
You're merely using me to help your father take over the world.
**[01:51] Pirako**
I could say the same about you, Lady Kada.
**[01:54] Pirako**
As a result, the collar around my old man's neck has been released.
**[02:00] Pirako**
That old hag took away the flowers and freedom my father once had.
**[02:04] Pirako**
I'm sure that my old man will now...
**[02:05] Kada**
Pay more attention to you?
**[02:08] Kada**
I have a feeling that you're the one who can breathe easy now.
**[02:14] Kada**
You must be overjoyed to know that the woman who stole your father from you is dead.
**[02:18] Pirako**
Man, this is why I hate women.
**[02:21] Pirako**
They're always so suspicious.
**[02:24] Pirako**
Anyway, I'll need you to take care of Saigo's kid.
**[02:28] Pirako**
Who knows when that sheman will betray us?
**[02:32] Kada**
Pirako...
**[02:34] Kada**
Jirocho doesn't see you.
**[02:38] Kada**
You can eliminate every obstacle in the way.
**[02:41] Kada**
You can spend your entire life serving him.
**[02:43] Kada**
He will never turn to you...
**[02:44] Pirako**
Man...
**[02:45] Pirako**
Could you cut it out, Lady Kada?
**[02:48] Pirako**
If you don't shut your mouth, I'll have to make some flowers, you hag.
***SIGN*** Greater Edo Hospital
**[03:07] Tama**
Madame Catherine, you should get some rest.
**[03:10] Tama**
You have been standing there for two days.
**[03:12] Tama**
I do not require any rest.
**[03:14] Tama**
Shall I take your place, Madame Catherine?
**[03:17] Shin**
Kagura-chan, shouldn't you get some rest too?
**[03:20] Kagura**
I'm not skanky enough to go to sleep in someone else's house.
**[03:23] Kagura**
Besides...
**[03:25] Kagura**
What if I wake up to find out she's...
**[03:28] Shin**
She'll be fine.
**[03:29] Shin**
I'm sure she'll be fine.
**[03:31] Shin**
You should go home and get some rest.
**[03:33] Shin**
She would be upset if she learned that everyone was ruining their health.
**[03:37] Saigo**
You have no home to return to.
**[03:40] Saigo**
There's no place for you here.
**[03:43] Shin**
Saigo-san!
**[03:44] Saigo**
That fool.
**[03:46] Saigo**
I kept telling her to escape...
**[03:48] Shin**
Saigo-san...
**[03:49] Shin**
Was that phone call...?
**[03:52] Saigo**
I'm not going to apologize.
**[03:55] Saigo**
There was nothing I could do.
**[03:57] Saigo**
And there's nothing I can do now.
**[04:00] Saigo**
The day after tomorrow...
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Gin-chan Snack Otose
**[04:02] Saigo**
Your place will be destroyed by the Four Devas.
**[04:09] Saigo**
The day after tomorrow.
**[04:10] Saigo**
You have until then to pack up and leave this town.
**[04:14] Shin**
Wh-Why is this happening?!
**[04:16] Saigo**
Didn't you hear me?
**[04:17] Saigo**
There's no place for you here in this town.
**[04:20] Saigo**
The entire Kabuki district is against you.
**[04:25] Gin**
Did they take your kid hostage?
**[04:27] Shin**
Gin-san...
**[04:28] Saigo**
They appear to be testing me.
**[04:32] Saigo**
There are things I'll do anything to protect.
**[04:37] Shin**
Saigo-san...
**[04:38] Saigo**
Pako, can you take care of them?
**[04:42] Gin**
Don't worry.
**[04:43] Gin**
I'm closing up shop.
**[04:46] Gin**
The rest is up to you.
**[04:48] Catherine**
You bastard!
**[04:50] Catherine**
Otose-san was left for dead!
**[04:51] Catherine**
Her bar was destroyed!
**[04:53] Catherine**
And you're just gonna turn tail and run?!
**[04:55] Gin**
You're telling me to fight?
**[04:57] Gin**
Don't make me laugh.
**[04:58] Gin**
I couldn't even take Jirocho one-on-one.
**[05:00] Catherine**
When did you become so pathetic?!
**[05:02] Catherine**
Damn you, Sakata!
**[05:04] Catherine**
If you're gonna leave, you can leave by yourself!
**[05:07] Catherine**
I won't! I won't...!
**[05:09] Gin**
Do you know why Gran went by herself?
**[05:13] Gin**
To protect us.
**[05:15] Gin**
If you still insist on dying,
**[05:17] Gin**
you're free to stay behind and get yourself killed.
**[05:19] Gin**
Odd Jobs and Gran's bar are being closed down.
**[05:23] Gin**
We're just strangers now.
**[05:25] Gin**
Free to do as we please.
**[05:27] Gin**
I'll be doing just that.
**[05:30] Kagura**
Wait!
**[05:30] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[05:32] Gin**
Sorry.
**[05:34] Gin**
I doubt I can protect anything now...
**[05:39] Shin**
Gin-san...
**[05:42] Kagura**
Master Gintoki...
***SIGN*** Kabuki District 1st Street
**[05:48] A**
Doesn't it feel like there aren't many people around these days?
**[05:51] B**
Didn't you know?
**[05:52] B**
There's a war brewing around these parts.
**[05:55] A**
A war?
**[05:56] B**
The factional rivalry between the Four Devas is heating up.
**[05:59] B**
Everybody's too scared to come near this town.
**[06:02] A**
Is it really that dangerous?
**[06:04] A**
We've managed to survive everything that's come before.
**[06:06] A**
This is no different.
***SIGN*** Puppet House
**[06:07] C**
But there are rumors that Otose's dead.
**[06:10] D**
What?!
**[06:11] E**
She got in a fight with Jirocho's gang.
**[06:13] E**
And it sounds like Katsuo, one of their young leaders, also died.
**[06:17] A**
But there's this rookie who's filling in for Katsuo.
**[06:22] A**
I heard that she persuaded Kada and Saigo to help crush Otose-san.
**[06:26] E**
I still owe her for lending me money when I was in debt.
**[06:31] G**
I owe her for helping me out when I got in a fight with my wife.
**[06:34] B**
Why don't you go protect Otose-san's bar then?
**[06:37] H**
Don't be stupid. I'd be throwing my life away.
**[06:40] I**
In this town, the wicked live longer than the kind.
**[06:45] J**
Who knows when the three remaining Devas will turn on one another...
**[06:47] K**
It's probably time to get out of this town.
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Gin-chan Snack Otose
**[06:55] Tama**
The Kabuki District, a town which accepts the clean and unclean.
**[06:59] Tama**
I was unable to predict that we would be chased out of this town.
**[07:06] Tama**
Madame Otose loved this town of good and evil.
**[07:10] Tama**
But now, we can never...
**[07:12] Catherine**
Why must we abandon Otose's bar? Our bar...
**[07:17] Shin**
Don't say that.
**[07:21] Shin**
If we die, Otose-san will have risked her life for nothing.
**[07:26] Shin**
Otose-san will be moved out of the Kabuki district hospital tomorrow.
**[07:30] Shin**
We'll be able to visit her every day.
**[07:33] Shin**
Anyway, we'll have to stay away from the Kabuki district.
**[07:36] Shin**
As long as we're alive, we can always start...
**[07:42] Shin**
Start over...
**[07:44] Shin**
S-Start...
**[07:49] Shin**
Huh? That's strange...
**[07:53] Shin**
Why am I crying?
**[07:56] Shin**
Huh?
**[08:12] Katsuo**
So you couldn't take on the Four Devas.
**[08:16] Katsuo**
I didn't think our boss would actually attack Otose.
**[08:21] Katsuo**
You probably thought you could calm things down by saving my life, but tough luck.
**[08:27] Katsuo**
Nobody can stop this war.
**[08:31] Gin**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[08:34] Gin**
I wasn't trying to save your life.
**[08:36] Gin**
I just needed you to spill your guts.
**[08:39] Gin**
Let's get those guts out of you.
**[08:40] Katsuo**
What?! What do you wanna know?!
**[08:43] Gin**
Why were you surprised that Jirocho attacked Gran?
**[08:47] Katsuo**
You didn't know?
**[08:49] Katsuo**
The boss and Otose have known each other since they were kids.
**[08:52] Katsuo**
You could say they were childhood friends.
**[08:55] Katsuo**
The boss was a pretty naughty kid,
**[08:57] Katsuo**
but Otose was there to straighten him out every time he tried something.
**[09:02] Katsuo**
Even after he got into organized crime,
**[09:05] Katsuo**
Otose was the only one who stood by him and tried to straighten him out.
**[09:10] Katsuo**
As a result, the boss became a vigilante who was popular enough to be considered a leader of the town.
**[09:17] Katsuo**
Jirocho, man among men, would never have existed without Otose.
**[09:21] Katsuo**
At the time, nobody could defeat the boss in a fight.
**[09:24] Katsuo**
But, there was one man who managed to triumph over the boss once.
**[09:31] Katsuo**
Tatsugoro Terada, a cop who was also a leader of the town
**[09:35] Katsuo**
and Otose's husband.
**[09:37] Katsuo**
A man who was strong in a fight and stuck to his ideals.
**[09:41] Katsuo**
Everyone had to love him.
**[09:44] Katsuo**
Cop and vigilante.
**[09:46] Katsuo**
They got in a fight once because of their different positions,
**[09:49] Katsuo**
but they both fought to protect their town.
**[09:52] Katsuo**
It wasn't long before they became friends.
**[09:56] Katsuo**
But there was one problem.
**[09:59] Katsuo**
They were in love with the same woman.
**[10:05] Katsuo**
The boss backed down because he wanted Otose to be happy,
**[10:10] Katsuo**
since he figured a vigilante wouldn't be able to provide that happiness.
**[10:14] Katsuo**
But Tatsugoro got himself killed, which left Otose alone.
**[10:19] Katsuo**
And he died in the middle of a battle,
**[10:22] Katsuo**
taking a bullet that was meant for the boss.
***SIGN*** Doromizu Gang
**[10:26] Katsuo**
When the boss returned from the war, his wife and daughter were waiting for him.
**[10:33] Katsuo**
But the boss paid no attention to his daughter.
**[10:37] Katsuo**
He was willing to do anything, no matter how underhanded it was, for the sake of business.
**[10:42] Katsuo**
He said that he didn't have the right to be a father or a vigilante.
**[10:48] Katsuo**
Who was it, what was it, that drove the boss to give up all he had to stay in this town?
**[10:55] Katsuo**
Now that he's struck down the old lady, I'm not really sure.
**[11:00] Katsuo**
That said, I'm one of them.
**[11:02] Katsuo**
If it's for the boss who took me in, or his daughter,
**[11:06] Katsuo**
I'm willing to have a hole in my gut.
**[11:09] Katsuo**
That's my duty.
**[11:12] Katsuo**
But was this really the right thing to do?
**[11:17] Katsuo**
Will this really make them happy?
**[11:22] Gin**
They're never gonna be happy...
**[11:25] Gin**
...'cause I'm gonna crush them.
**[11:27] Katsuo**
So you were putting on a show for the kids.
**[11:29] Katsuo**
You don't stand a chance by yourself.
**[11:32] Gin**
I can't go back on my word.
**[11:35] Gin**
Joe Schmo, take care of Gran.
**[11:37] Katsuo**
What?! Why?!
**[11:38] Gin**
You always return the favor, seven for three.
**[11:42] Otose**
Shouldn't you stay here to watch this old woman pass on?
**[11:50] Otose**
Gintoki...
**[11:52] Otose**
I don't want to see...
**[11:55] Otose**
...you die.
**[12:01] Gin**
Gran, I promise to pay off the rent.
**[12:04] Gin**
So sit tight.
**[12:10] Pirako**
How did it feel to cut down the woman you loved?
**[12:16] Jirocho**
How did it feel to manipulate a bunch of old men and women?
**[12:21] Pirako**
That's harsh.
**[12:23] Pirako**
I did it all for your sake.
**[12:26] Jirocho**
Next, you'll have Saigo destroy Otose's bar.
**[12:30] Jirocho**
What a waste of time...
**[12:33] Jirocho**
Did that vixen put you up to it?
**[12:36] Pirako**
Of course not.
**[12:38] Pirako**
This is part of the plan.
**[12:40] Pirako**
There are many people left in this town who were involved with Otose.
**[12:44] Pirako**
We'll use this chance to flush them out.
**[12:47] Pirako**
Saigo happens to be one of them.
**[12:49] Jirocho**
Will it really work?
**[12:53] Jirocho**
And you don't need to worry. The old woman's buddies aren't in this town anymore.
**[13:00] Jirocho**
The watchdog's chains have been snapped.
**[13:03] Pirako**
You intend to keep your promise to not harm anyone else?
**[13:08] Pirako**
It's no use.
**[13:10] Pirako**
That person was never chained.
**[13:14] Pirako**
You took him to be an obedient dog who could be chained?
**[13:20] Pirako**
I guarantee that Bro will come.
**[13:23] Jirocho**
You were watching?
**[13:27] Pirako**
I was watching.
**[13:28] Pirako**
When you failed to finish off Otose too...
**[13:31] Pirako**
When you cut her down so she wouldn't be dragged into this war...
**[13:38] Pirako**
You don't need to worry.
**[13:40] Pirako**
I understand that there's no point in focusing on Otose.
**[13:43] Pirako**
It's not that simple to explain what it is that chains you to this town.
**[13:48] Pirako**
I figured it out.
**[13:50] Pirako**
You're just like him.
**[13:54] Gin**
But I'm going to protect her in your stead.
**[14:00] Tatsugoro**
Jirocho...
**[14:02] Tatsugoro**
Take care of her... Take care of our town...
**[14:08] Pirako**
Both of you are chained to this town by the same thing.
**[14:12] Pirako**
A promise made to a certain man.
**[14:16] Pirako**
An iron vow of your own choosing.
**[14:19] Pirako**
The chains of a warrior.
**[14:22] Pirako**
Both of you are animals bound by the same chain.
**[14:26] Pirako**
But...
**[14:27] Pirako**
One has experienced loss, but accepted the responsibility and continues to protect this town.
**[14:35] Pirako**
The other has experienced loss,
**[14:37] Pirako**
but has abandoned the responsibility and chosen to protect this town by using force to conquer it.
**[14:44] Pirako**
Two beasts whose interests clash, despite sharing the same goal.
**[14:49] Pirako**
Now, who will be the last man standing over the Kabuki district?
**[14:55] Pirako**
Don't worry.
**[14:57] Pirako**
I've already made up my mind.
**[15:00] Pirako**
I'll be joining you on your rampage.
**[15:04] Pirako**
I promise to help you take over this town.
**[15:09] Pirako**
So once this is finished,
**[15:13] Pirako**
you'll come back to me, won't you?
**[15:20] Jirocho**
You...
**[15:28] Shin**
Where do you think you're going?
**[15:31] Shin**
With Otose-san's mementos of her husband...
**[15:34] Gin**
Why are you here?
**[15:36] Kagura**
You're the one who said we could do as we please.
**[15:40] Shin**
Take us with you.
**[15:42] Shin**
We can help you fight.
**[15:45] Gin**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[15:47] Gin**
I'm just here because Gran told me to pick this up for her.
**[15:51] Kagura**
Enough already...
**[15:53] Kagura**
Neither of you get it...
**[15:56] Kagura**
If you shoulder the burden alone and leave us behind...
**[16:00] Kagura**
How are we supposed to be happy you saved our lives?
**[16:03] Kagura**
How are we supposed to be happy that Gran saved us if she's gone?
**[16:08] Kagura**
If you're gone, life won't be any fun!
**[16:16] Gin**
Life doesn't need to be fun.
**[16:19] Gin**
I just want you to live.
**[16:24] Gin**
I don't want to go through that again.
**[16:28] Gin**
I don't want anyone to die.
**[16:35] Shin**
Aren't you supposed to be Gintoki Sakata?
**[16:38] Shin**
The man who's let so much slip away, who's failed to protect so much...
**[16:42] Shin**
...but swore that he would never run away from his responsibilities!
**[16:44] Shin**
Didn't you promise her husband?!
**[16:47] Shin**
Once you've decided to protect something, you'll protect it to the very end!
**[16:50] Shin**
Isn't that what makes you Gintoki Sakata?!
**[16:53] Shin**
So what if Otose-san's life was in danger?!
**[16:56] Shin**
This isn't enough to kill Otose-san off!
**[16:58] Shin**
Isn't enough to kill us off!
**[16:59] Shin**
Isn't enough to kill you off!
**[17:01] Shin**
Because you're going to protect us!
**[17:04] Shin**
Because we're going to protect you!
**[17:10] Shin**
Isn't that what Odd Jobs is about?
**[17:12] Shin**
Isn't that how the three of us protected so much over the years?
**[17:20] Tama**
We have not lost anything yet.
**[17:24] Tama**
So you must not lose your soul.
**[17:29] Shin**
Catherine-san, Tama-san...
**[17:31] Tama**
Master Gintoki...
**[17:33] Tama**
You have protected us many times.
**[17:37] Tama**
No matter how dire or hopeless the situation was...
**[17:41] Tama**
We trust you.
**[17:43] Catherine**
So it's your turn to trust us.
**[17:47] Tama**
We can do this together.
**[17:49] Catherine**
We can protect Otose-san's home, our home.

Sorry, pops.

I bought these for you,
**[18:06] Gin**
but there probably won't be any left over.
**[18:09] Gin**
In return, I'll make another promise.
**[18:13] Gin**
We promise to protect everything which was dear to you.
**[18:24] Gin**
Thanks, pops,

What's with that group of men or women or both or neither?

It's the Jirocho's gang and Saigo's people!

You're missing the point!
**[19:13] Saigo**
Why is the store banner up when Otose and everyone else is...?
**[19:17] Saigo**
Could it be...
**[19:20] B**
Y-You're...!
**[19:22] Gin**
Sorry, but could you come back later?
**[19:25] Gin**
The place is booked.

I feel like drinking by myself.

What are you...?

Don't come any closer.
**[19:36] B**
The hell are you talking about?!

Didn't you hear me?
**[19:46] Gin**
I told you to keep your stinkin' pig feet out of this place.

Pako!

I knew you would come, Bro.
**[19:57] C**
Eh?!
**[19:57] C**
You're gonna take on the entire Kabuki District?!
**[20:02] Gin**
The entire Kabuki District?
**[20:04] Gin**
Don't make me laugh.
**[20:05] Gin**
You fools aren't even part of this town.

You're no different from the dogshit on the side of the road.

Funny.
**[20:37] Saigo**
It's very strange.
**[20:38] Saigo**
It makes me sick to have to fight friends.
**[20:42] Saigo**
Yet I felt relieved when I saw your face.
**[20:48] Saigo**
Of course.
**[20:49] Saigo**
It wouldn't be right if you weren't here.
**[20:52] Agomi**
What are you...?
**[20:53] Saigo**
Assmi, it would be rude to say anything.
**[20:57] Pirako**
That's right!
**[20:59] Pirako**
There's nothing left to say.
**[21:01] Pirako**
Bro and Saigo-san are both protecting what's dear to them.
**[21:08] Saigo**
You shouldn't be talking.
**[21:11] Saigo**
Not when you're the one who took what was dear to me.
**[21:15] Pirako**
I'm not going to apologize. After all...
**[21:19] Pirako**
I'm here to protect what's dear to me.
**[21:23] Pirako**
I'll steal and destroy what's dear to others...
**[21:27] Pirako**
...if that's what's needed to take him back.
**[21:30] Saigo**
I must pity you, daughter of Jirocho.
**[21:36] Saigo**
The swing of a samurai's blade can silence a thousand words!
**[21:42] Saigo**
Warriors,
**[21:44] Saigo**
let us hold our conversation in a whirlwind of blood!
**[21:50] Gin**
The Otose Family will be paying our respects.
**[21:55] Gin**
Let's go, bastards!
