    We always wake up with some morning pine.

[02:53] Okita
    Welcome back, big guy.
[03:00] Okita
    That was mean of you.
[03:02] Okita
    I helped free you.
[03:08] Gin
    Oh, really?
[03:11] Gin
    But it's your fault I was
    arrested in the first place.
[03:18] Okita
    You should blame Hijikata-san
    and the rich dumbass.
[03:21] Okita
    I didn't do anything wrong.
[03:24] Gin
    Yeah, neither did I.
[03:36] Isabu
    Please do not blame the Shinsengumi.
[03:42] Isabu
    It was entirely our fault.
[03:45] Isabu
    I must apologize.
[03:47] Isabu
    I did not realize he
    was a friend of yours.
[03:51] Isabu
    I am unable to properly
    express my remorse,
[03:54] Isabu
    so could you please give
    me your e-mail address?
[03:56] Isabu
    I will send a message of apology.
[04:00] Gin
    It's [email protected].
[04:05] Isabu
    However, my nose is supposed
    to be as sharp as a Doberman's.
[04:09] Isabu
    And I could smell great wrongdoing
    coming from your body.

    It's been two days since I washed it,
[04:18] Gin
    but I only wore it when I went
    to the convenience store.
[04:21] Gin
    It should be okay.
[04:22] Gin
    Am I okay, Okita-kun?
[04:25] Okita
    Well, this person isn't exactly
    an innocent bystander.
[04:30] Okita
    If you round to the nearest
    degree, he's a criminal.

    Don't make it sound so bad.

    Don't look down on us common

[05:04] Gin
    You think that's enough to
    soothe the wounds to my heart?!
[05:08] Gin
    Mind if I use toilet paper?
[05:10] Gin
    I need more room to work with.
[05:12] Okita
    Big guy, you're wasting your time.
[05:15] Okita
    They'll just flush it down the toilet.
[05:18] Okita
    Please carry on.
[05:21] Okita
    I appreciate this, Sasaki-dono.
[05:24] Gin
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[05:26] Okita
    Our vice chief screwed up,
    so I guess we're even now.
[05:31] Gin
    That's bullshit! How did
    I get dragged into this?!
[05:35] Isabu
    No, we're already asking you to
[05:37] ---
    dispose of the trash that is my brother.
[05:40] Isabu
    Though I'm willing to pay extra.
[05:43] Isabu
    We'll dispose of our own trash.
[05:46] Gin
    Yeah, you fool!
[05:48] Gin
    Let this guy handle it!
[05:50] Gin
    Don't call me trash, you fool!
[05:51] Okita
    Nah, he knows that you're
    too much to handle.
[05:55] Okita
    You realize that you're supposed
    to separate your trash?
[06:03] Okita
    Your non-combustible garbage
[06:07] Okita
    turned out to be pretty burnable.
[06:11] Okita
    It started a fire that's making
    us sweat in the middle of winter.
[06:14] Okita
    Well, he won't be very useful,
[06:17] ---
    but we'll use him until he's
    reduced to a pile of ashes.
[06:20] Okita
    Oh, throw that away for me.
[06:23] Isabu
    Okita-san, I have a warning for you.
[06:27] Isabu
    Rotten trash can never be restored.
[06:31] Isabu
    Instead, it spreads contagions
[06:33] ---
    which causes everything around to rot.
[06:36] Isabu
    You should dispose of it before the
[06:39] ---
    Shinsengumi are infected.
[06:42] Okita
    Let's go, big guy.
[06:44] Gin
    I'm not going with you!
[06:46] Gin
    Give me back my ten million!
[06:48] Gin
    Hundred million, billion...
[06:50] Gin
    Huh? How many zeros were there?
[06:52] Isabu
    Are you really so desperate for money?
[06:54] Gin
    Hell yeah!
[06:56] Gin
    Unlike you rich people,
[06:57] ---
    we can barely scrape by day to day!
[07:00] Isabu
    Then I have a job offer for you.
[07:08] Toshi
    Man, you're pathetic.
[07:10] Toshi
    At this rate, you won't
    last a day against the Joi.
[07:17] Toshi
    If you don't want to die,
    you have to become stronger.

    Give me three thousand
    swings before dinner.

    I'm gonna catch up to everyone else.

    Walk the same path...
[07:43] Tetsu
    S-So you can also become stronger!
[07:48] Tetsu
    Your brother doesn't hate you.
[07:55] Tetsu
    I'm sure that he misses you!
[07:58] Tetsu
    After all, you did everything you
    could to protect your brother!
[08:05] Tetsu
    Your brother did everything
    he could to protect you!
[08:10] Tetsu
    The two of you are true brothers!
[08:13] Tetsu
    I envy you.
[08:15] Tetsu
    So please don't run
    away from your brother!

    Aren't you known as Thorny Toshi?!

    Vice Chief!
[08:56] Tetsu
    I bought you a yakisoba sandwich!
[09:00] Toshi
    No thanks!
[09:01] Toshi
    And I didn't even ask for a sandwich!

    You have the instincts of a doormat!

    Vice Chief, I brought you mayonnaise.
[09:18] Toshi
    Thank you. That's enough, so go away.
[09:20] Tetsu
    Vice Chief, are you hard?
[09:23] Toshi
    I said to go away!
[09:25] Toshi
    Just do as you're told.

    Don't be a pain in the ass.

    I'm so sorry!

    Huh? Oh.

    He isn't taking this seriously.
SIGN    From: Sabu-chan
[10:46] Isabu
    Good work.
[10:48] Isabu
    How is everything going?
[10:49] Isabu
    Drop me a message every now and then.
[10:52] Gin
    What? You want me to go undercover?
[10:54] Isabu
    Yes. You see, the
    Mimawarigumi is currently
[10:57] ---
    pursuing a certain organization.
[10:59] Isabu
    I need you to infiltrate them
    and provide us with information.
[11:03] Gin
    Which organization are you talking about?
[11:05] Gin
    I'd be up for infiltrating AKB.
[11:07] Gin
    I'll investigate their BWHs.
[11:10] Gin
    It's probably the Joi, spelled JOY.
[11:12] Gin
    Ponytail and Shoo-Shoo, right?
[11:14] Gin
    That's some Heavy Low Tension.
[11:16] Isabu
    As you already know, we are
    elite cops by the elite,
[11:19] ---
    for the elite, and of the elite.
[11:22] Isabu
    If one of our elite members were
    to attempt to infiltrate the Joi,
[11:24] Isabu
    they would immediately
    notice our eliteness.
[11:27] Gin
    Don't you ever get sick of saying elite?
[11:29] Isabu
    Do you ever get sick of saying
[11:31] ---
    that AKB's Tomomi Itano is cute?
[11:34] Gin
    That metaphor wasn't very elite.
[11:37] Isabu
    However, a nasty fellow like you
    would have no trouble taking
[11:39] Isabu
    center stage with JOY and
[11:41] ---
    becoming their number one terrorist.
[11:43] Gin
    That wouldn't make me happy.
[11:45] Gin
    I'd be arrested on the spot.
[11:48] Isabu
    Our target is the Check It Out gang.
[11:51] Isabu
    They used to be a bunch of thug
[11:53] ---
    s who dissed the Bakufu
    with their rapping,
[11:55] Isabu
    but after continued internal
    strife and expansion,
[11:58] Isabu
    they transformed into a
    group of radical rebels.
[12:01] Isabu
    The gang is now using violence.
[12:04] Isabu
    We have reports that they are planning
SIGN    Check It Out Gang
[12:07] ---
    a large-scale terrorist attack.
[12:10] Isabu
    Your mission is to make contact
[12:13] ---
    and determine the time
    and place of this attack,
[12:16] Isabu
    as well as locate their
    base of operations.
[12:19] Isabu
    It will be a dangerous mission,
[12:22] ---
    but if you complete it, we
    will buy millions of your CDs.
[12:26] Isabu
    I promise that you will place
    first in the next poll.
[12:30] Gin
    I let him fool me into this mess,
[12:33] ---
    and they already want me
    to start committing crimes.
[12:37] Gin
    Good thing I didn't bring
    Shinpachi and Kagura.
[12:39] Gin
    I don't care if they want
    revenge on a traitor,
[12:42] Gin
    but that cop better take responsibility.
[12:45] Gin
    They'll get suspicious
    if I make a fuss now.
[12:48] Gin
    Guess I don't have a choice.
SIGN    From: Sabu-chan You have a new message. Urgent.
[12:51] Gin
    What? It's him again?
[12:52] Gin
    He's such a pest.
[12:54] Gin
    I don't have time to deal with him.
[12:56] Gin
    Huh? Urgent?
[12:57] Gin
    Did something happen?
[12:59] Isabu
    One of my men, Nobutasu, brought these.
[13:01] Isabu
    So yummy.
[13:02] Isabu
    If you don't hurry back, there
    won't be any left for you, Gin-tan.
[13:05] Isabu
    P.S. If you want some, send me a message.
[13:14] Isabu
    Just kidding.
[13:15] Isabu
    We saved some for you, so work hard.
[13:18] Isabu
    I bought a good luck
    charm to keep you safe.
[13:19] Isabu
    P.S. I'm worried about your
    safety. Please send me a message.
[13:29] Isabu
    I made a teru teru bozu
    so it wouldn't rain.
[13:31] Isabu
    P.S. What's the weather like where
    you are? Please send me a message.
[13:41] Isabu
    I'm praying for you to send me a message.
[13:43] Isabu
    P.S. Rabbits can die of loneliness.
[13:48] Gin
    Friggin' pain in the ass!
[13:51] Gin
    He really wants me to send a message!
[13:52] Gin
    Damn cell phone addict!
[13:54] Gin
    He's as bad as Shoko-tan!
[13:56] Gin
    I don't have time to send you messages!
[13:58] B
    Hey, what are you yelling
    about? Calm down!
[14:03] Gin
    And why is he so hyper when
    he's sending messages?
[14:07] Gin
    He's a different person
    when writing messages?
[14:08] Gin
    I'm working here!
[14:09] Gin
    Don't interfere!
[14:10] Gin
    Huh?
[14:14] Isabu
    It's a waste of time to destroy the phone.
[14:16] Gin
    It's a waste of time to be so prepared!
[14:19] Gin
    Can you stop interfering already?!
[14:22] Isabu
    I'm not interfering.
[14:24] Isabu
    I'm calling to let you know
    that our target is almost here.

    Target?

    Please. Don't dawdle or he'll get away.

    You out on an errand, Tetsunosuke-kun?

    You used to be one of us, Tetsu.
[15:38] A
    We all dissed the Bakufu together,
[15:42] A
    and now you're one of its dogs.
[15:44] A
    You've really fallen, traitor!
[16:23] Isabu
    Well met. It appears we have
    a problem on our hands.
[16:27] Isabu
    Who would have thought
    that we would have to
[16:29] Isabu
    come out here for the
    sake of that failure?
[16:32] Toshi
    Did you know about his connection
    to the Joi patriots?
[16:37] Isabu
    It appears that he concealed his identity
[16:39] ---
    and met with them from time to time.
[16:41] Isabu
    A fitting place to go for
    someone with nowhere to belong.
[16:45] Isabu
    I believe that their leader,
    Eni Men, was quite fond of him,
[16:49] Isabu
    or fond of his money, I should say.
[16:51] Isabu
    But as the gang grew violent,
[16:53] Isabu
    he feared that they would learn he was
[16:56] ---
    the brother of a cop, so he ran away.
[16:59] Isabu
    In the end, there was
    nowhere for him to go.
[17:03] Isabu
    And in the end,
[17:05] ---
    his identity was revealed
    in the worst possible way.
[17:08] Isabu
    The younger brother of
    the Mimawarigumi chief
[17:10] Isabu
    and the assistant to the
    Shinsengumi vice chief.
[17:14] Isabu
    This information would
    be enough to crush two
[17:18] ---
    of Edo's strongest police forces.
[17:21] Isabu
    A rather disparate trade.
[17:23] Isabu
    To think that fool would hold as
[17:25] Isabu
    much worth as the leaders of the
    Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi?
[17:30] Isabu
    Onward, men.
[17:32] Isabu
    We need not concern ourselves
    with the hostage.
[17:33] Isabu
    Wipe out the Joi.
[17:36] Kondo
    W-Wait, Sasaki-dono!
[17:38] Kondo
    You're going to let your brother die?!
[17:40] Isabu
    Are you telling me to negotiate
    with the terrorists?
[17:43] Isabu
    Unfortunately, my life is
    worth far more than yours.
[17:47] Isabu
    As I said before,
[17:49] ---
    rotten trash causes everything
    around it to rot.
[17:54] Isabu
    This would never have
    happened if you had disposed
[17:58] ---
    of Tetsunosuke as I advised.
[18:02] Isabu
    Please get out of the way.
[18:04] Isabu
    You should be more worried
    about yourselves.
[18:07] Isabu
    After accepting a former
    Joi as an assistant and
[18:10] ---
    allowing him to be taken hostage,
[18:12] Isabu
    you have disgraced yourselves.
[18:15] Isabu
    If you also allow a son
    of the Sasaki family
[18:17] ---
    to die in your care,
[18:19] Isabu
    how can you ever make amends?
[18:21] Isabu
    As a fan, I'm eager to see what you do.
[18:26] Toshi
    Bastard... You used him as a pawn.
[18:29] Toshi
    So you were trying to eliminate two thorns
[18:31] ---
    in your side at the same time.
[18:33] Kondo
    Stop it, Toshi!
[18:34] Toshi
    You knew this would happen,
[18:36] Toshi
    yet you're blaming it all on us.
[18:39] Toshi
    Gonna pat yourself on the back for getting
[18:40] ---
    rid of us, along with your brother?
[18:43] Isabu
    You have it all wrong.
[18:45] Isabu
    I already said that I am a big fan.
[18:48] Isabu
    But there are many incompetents who do not
[18:51] ---
    know how to handle people like you.
[18:54] Isabu
    You must realize that we are nothing more
[18:56] ---
    than cogs in a larger machine.
[18:58] Isabu
    What about me?
[18:59] Isabu
    I understand that I am
[19:01] ---
    nothing more than a
    large and superior cog.
[19:06] Kondo
    You can spend the rest of your
    life blaming other people!
[19:09] Kondo
    Toshi!
[19:12] Isabu
    If you seek my head, it'll cost
    you a few heads of your own.
[19:23] Okita
    Go ahead and draw your sword.
[19:25] Okita
    I'll jam it right up your .
[19:29] Kondo*
    S-Stop this, Toshi, Sogo!
[19:32] Kondo
    Calm down!
[19:35] Kondo
    We don't have time for this!
[19:40] A
    Conflict! War! What is it good for?
[19:43] A
    Boys! These cops are about
    to tear into each other!
[19:46] A
    Watch closely!
[19:49] A
    This should be quite the show!
[19:53] A
    Mic check, one, two.
[19:55] A
    Hurry up and do it!
[19:56] A
    Clap your hands!
[19:58] A
    Party hard!
[19:59] A
    Arms in the air!
[20:01] A
    If you keep me waiting,
    my hand might slip!
[20:04] A
    Check it out! Check it out! Check it out!
[20:08] Kondo
    Toshi!
[20:13] Isabu
    Have you lost your mind, Hijikata-san?
[20:15] Isabu
    Move out of the way.
[20:23] Tetsu
    I will become stronger.
[20:27] Tetsu
    I'm gonna catch up to everyone else.
[20:28] Tetsu
    Walk the same path...
[20:31] Toshi
    I don't want to listen to those fools,
[20:33] Toshi
    but I can't let you pass either.
[20:38] Toshi
    This is our battle.
[20:41] Toshi
    We're ready to cut our way
    through the bramble to get in.
[20:44] Toshi
    Cut our way through the
    bramble to go home,
[20:47] Toshi
    bringing him and the
    other Thornies with us.
[20:51] Toshi
    We won't let anyone through if
    they don't have what it takes.
[20:59] Toshi
    It won't be easy to get
    through these thorns.
[21:04] Isabu
    I see.
[21:06] Isabu
    While you delay us and
    draw away their attention,
[21:11] Isabu
    a small force will circle
    around and rescue Tetsunosuke.
[21:15] ---
    Is that the plan?
[21:16] Isabu
    But I also sent someone from our side.
[21:19] Isabu
    I hope she can help.
[21:23] Isabu
    Nobume is an elite assassin
    from our killing squad.
[21:27] Isabu
    But once her switch is turned on,
[21:29] Isabu
    she doesn't stop until she's
    killed everyone in the vicinity,
[21:32] Isabu
    so I'm worried that she might
[21:34] ---
    harm the hostage and the rest of you.
[21:37] Toshi
    Enough chitchat.
[21:39] Toshi
    I can't stand the sight of your face.
[21:42] Toshi
    We both have an excuse to
    eliminate the other now.
[21:45] Toshi
    You should be happy.
[21:47] Isabu
    I believe that you look like
    anything but a cop right now.
[21:51] Toshi
    Right back at you.
[21:54] Both
    -Evil bastard.
    -Evil bastard.
