[01:36] Suzu     With nightfall, it brings you to me, [01:40] Suzu     but it also takes you from     me when dawn breaks. [01:44] Suzu     I wish the moon would never leave us. [01:48] Suzu     Then you would always be here with me. [01:53] A     The moon will come with the night again. [01:56] A     And someday, when it does, [01:59] ---     I will take you with me in the morning. [02:01] A     Wait before the cherry blossom tree [02:03] ---     on the night of the next full moon. [02:15] Suzu     Do you promise? [02:17] A     I promise. [02:22] Both     Promise. [02:24] Suzu     I'll be waiting [02:27] Suzu     for the moon to rise [02:28] Suzu     forever. [02:33] Gin     The legendary courtesan? [02:35] Tsu     You don't know of her? [02:37] Tsu     The other lady of Yoshiwara, [02:39] Tsu     the courtesan Suzuran. [02:41] Gin     Why is she legendary? [02:42] Gin     Is she a descendant of Erdrick? [02:43] Gin     From Hand of the Heavenly Courtesan? [02:45] Hino     I'm not talking about Nera. [02:47] Gin     Nera? I was talking about Bianca. [02:49] Hino     Don't forget about Debora. [02:51] Tsu     Uh, none of them matter. [02:53] Hino     The courtesan Suzuran. [02:55] Hino     Her beauty was said     to come from the heavens. [02:57] Hino     No one could rival her     in song or dance. [03:01] Hino     Many elite officials sought Suzuran's     favor by offering her great wealth, [03:05] Hino     but most were sent home     after a cup of tea. [03:08] Gin     Sounds like she was beautiful     enough to topple nations. [03:12] Gin     The other lady of Yoshiwara     isn't toppling nations [03:15] ---     so much as toppling from     the weight of her makeup. [03:17] Hino     Oh, sorry. [03:19] Hino     My hand slipped. [03:20] Hino     Must be because our nation     is toppling over. [03:21] Gin     But it sounds like she's     no longer around. [03:25] Gin     I would have liked to     enjoy her company once. [03:28] Hino     You're more than welcome. [03:31] Hino     You're such a fool. [03:33] Hino     The legendary courtesan was     the one who invited you here. [03:36] Hino     She wants to meet the     savior of Yoshiwara. SIGN    Courtesan Turns the Tables [03:49] Gin     This should be good enough? [03:51] Gin     But wait... [03:53] Gin     Maybe I should... [03:54] Tsu     It doesn't matter! [03:55] Tsu     Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? [03:57] Gin     This is important though. [03:59] Gin     We're talking about a     legendary courtesan. [04:01] Gin     If I screw something up, this won't     be a Yoshiwara night anymore! [04:04] Gin     It'll be Tsukiji instead! [04:05] Gin     I'll turn into a dead fish! [04:06] Tsu     Don't worry. Nothing like     that is going to happen. [04:11] A     Lady Suzuran has arrived! [04:14] Hino     Oh, she's here. [04:20] ---     Here she comes... [04:21] Gin     Here she comes! Here she comes! [04:23] Suzu     H-Hello. [04:28] Suzu     It is an honor to meet you. [04:31] Suzu     I am Su-Suzura... [04:34] Suzu     Huh? [04:36] Suzu     Who am I? [04:39] Hino     Allow me to introduce you. [04:40] Hino     This is the legendary     courtesan, our elder. [04:44] Hino     The courtesan Lady Suzuran. [04:54] Tsu     Hey, where do you think you're going? [04:55] Gin     Just over to Tsukiji. [04:57] Gin     Er, sorry. [04:58] Gin     I heard she was a courtesan, but she     was toppling more than I thought. [05:01] Gin     I didn't think she would be     completely toppled over. [05:03] Gin     You said that this is     the legendary what? [05:05] Gin     Lady Boomerang? [05:06] Tsu     Lady Suzuran. [05:09] Gin     You girls are mean. [05:11] Gin     You made it sound like she     was working with you. [05:14] Suzu     U-Um, I'm still on the job. [05:18] Gin     What?! [05:18] Suzu     I don't mean to brag, [05:21] ---     but I've been working here since before     Yoshiwara moved underground. [05:25] Gin     You're the one who's going     to be put underground soon! [05:28] Suzu     I may be older now, [05:30] Suzu     but my technique is just as     good as those younger girls! [05:35] Gin     What kind of technique is this?! [05:38] Suzu     Please come over here, savior... [05:43] Suzu     Huh? [05:43] Suzu     Who are you? [05:45] Gin     Sakata Gintoki! [05:47] Suzu     Oh, I wanted to thank you. [05:53] Suzu     Please drink until you knock     yourself out tonight. [05:57] Gin     This lady's spilling the whole bottle! [06:00] Suzu     Huh? It's empty. [06:02] Suzu     You drink fast. [06:03] Gin     Are you listening to me, lady?! [06:05] Suzu     Please knock yourself out tonight. [06:10] Gin     Lady, you've knocked yourself     out, so can I go?! [06:15] Hino     Behold Lady Suzuran's famous dancing. [06:17] Hino     Look at her break dance. [06:19] Gin     Wait, she's break dancing? [06:21] Gin     It looks like she's having a breakdown! [06:23] Gin     This is bad! [06:25] Gin     Should we call an ambulance? [06:26] Suzu     Y-You're too hasty. [06:28] Suzu     Why don't we get to bed then? [06:30] Gin     No! [06:32] Hino     Here is your bed. [06:35] Gin     What kind of bed is that?! [06:38] Suzu     I-I truly enjoyed our     time together today. [06:42] Gin     What?! [06:43] Gin     You don't look like     you enjoyed yourself! [06:44] Suzu     Thank you for being my last visitor. [06:49] Gin     Don't jinx yourself! [06:51] Suzu     You're so kind. [06:54] Suzu     You're showing so much     concern for an old woman. [07:00] Suzu     Can you make me a promise then? [07:06] Suzu     Come see me again when the moon rises. [07:11] Suzu     I'll be waiting [07:15] Suzu     for the moon to rise [07:17] Suzu     forever. [07:27] Hino     That's known as a lovers' pact. [07:29] Hino     Long ago, the women of Yoshiwara would [07:32] ---     exchange vows of love     with their customers. [07:35] Hino     My love belongs only to you. [07:37] Hino     I will never be unfaithful to you. [07:40] Hino     As proof, the women would offer     their hair, nails, and blood. [07:48] Hino     Sadly, most of the     women made these pacts [07:50] ---     to squeeze more money     from their customers. [07:56] Gin     She's as good as they claim, then. [07:59] Gin     That old woman had a man's hair     wrapped around her pinky. [08:03] Hino     She refused to retire, [08:05] Hino     even after she no longer had [08:07] ---     any customers and     Yoshiwara was set free. [08:09] Hino     She offered to do anything     if we let her stay here. [08:12] Hino     And she intends to spend the rest     of her life here as a prostitute. [08:17] Hino     She made a promise long ago [08:20] ---     when Yoshiwara was still on the surface. [08:23] Hino     A promise to leave     Yoshiwara together... [08:27] Hino     Judging from her behavior, [08:29] ---     she must have mistaken you for that man. [08:32] Tsu     Do you mean that [08:33] ---     Suzuran has been waiting here     all this time for that man? [08:36] Hino     I don't know. [08:37] Hino     But Yoshiwara has always been a place [08:39] ---     where men and women lie to each other. [08:41] Hino     Everyone knows that these dreams [08:43] ---     will not last beyond morning. [08:45] Hino     But we all continue to act our roles. [08:48] Hino     It's your own fault if you     choose to believe that dream. [08:51] Hino     But some may not wish to     awaken from that dream. [08:55] Hino     She wishes to sleep inside her     dream, under the moonlight. [09:03] A     Suzuran? [09:04] A     My late lech of a grandpa     mentioned her before. [09:07] B     Yes, I remember her. [09:08] B     She was a fine woman. [09:10] B     But she was out of my league. [09:12] B     I would have loved a chance     with Suzuki Ranran. [09:16] C     Yes, she was incredibly popular. [09:19] C     But personally, I was     more of a Miki-chan fan [09:21] ---     than a Ran-chan fan [09:22] C     when it came to the Candies. [09:24] D     I would totally lay Pink Lady. [09:27] E     I would totally lay you. [09:30] F     I just want one last lay,     I don't care who... [09:35] Gin     I'm a fan of Ketsuno Ana. [09:37] Gin     Wait, I don't mean that like it sounded... [09:39] Gin     Kshatriya! [09:41] Tsu     Hey, what do you think you're doing? [09:44] Gin     Why are you sneaking around [09:45] ---     asking old men who they want to lay? [09:48] Tsu     It's not my fault those perverted     leches got distracted! [09:51] Gin     Are you looking for the     old woman's darling? [09:56] Gin     Are you girly enough to think that the [09:58] ---     man still remembers an ancient promise? [10:00] Tsu     Who are you calling girly?! [10:02] Tsu     I'm the leader of the     Hyakka, Lady Death! [10:05] Tsu     I came to the surface for a     new pipe, but I got lost, [10:09] ---     and when I asked for directions... [10:10] Tsu     Um... [10:11] A     Boss! [10:12] A     We have information on Suzuran! [10:14] Tsu     Shut up! [10:15] Gin     Huh? Why are you telling     them to shut up? [10:18] Gin     Did you come to the surface to buy     girly stuff to make yourself pretty? [10:20] Gin     You're such a girl. [10:21] Tsu     No! I'm buying non-girly stuff     to make myself not pretty! [10:25] Tsu     Get back to shopping! [10:26] A     Huh? Shopping? [10:27] B     For what? [10:28] Gin     Yeah, you women are hopeless. [10:30] Gin     That old woman was hoodwinked. [10:34] Gin     I feel sorry for you women. [10:37] Shin     Gin-san! [10:38] Shin     We have information on the old lady! [10:41] Gin     Shut up! [10:42] Tsu     Oh, I see. [10:43] Tsu     Fancy that. [10:44] Tsu     So you're also doing     some secret shopping. [10:46] Gin     I'm buying manly stuff! [10:48] Gin     To make my curly hair manly! [10:50] Gin     So shut up! [10:52] Tsu     You shut up! [10:53] Shin     Can you cut it out? [10:55] Shin     Both of you are so stubborn. [10:57] Kag     Gin-chan and Tsu-ki     both want to help the [10:59] ---     old lady meet her darling     before she dies, right? [11:02] Both     What? [11:04] Shin     Huh? Don't you? [11:06] Tsu     I just wanted to make that man pay [11:08] ---     for toying with the heart     of a Yoshiwara woman. [11:11] Tsu     When Suzuran dies, [11:13] Tsu     that man will also die. [11:15] Shin     This woman's up to no good! [11:18] Gin     I made her a promise. [11:21] Gin     If I find the man, [11:23] Gin     she'll give me all of her wealth. [11:25] Shin     Don't lie! [11:26] Shin     Don't make up promises! [11:29] Shin     So both of you are plotting evil! [11:32] Tsu     What do you mean? [11:33] Tsu     I'm going to end his life. [11:35] Gin     I won't let that happen. The     lady's money will be mine. [11:37] Shin     Hold on! Wait! [11:39] Shin     You need to show more respect, Gin-san! [11:41] A     Respect isn't the only thing     you need to show, boss! [11:44] Gin     Huh? What are you talking about? [11:47] Shin     Well, we were able to obtain [11:49] ---     information on Suzuran-san's     former customer. [11:51] A     But this customer is big trouble. [11:55] Shin     Long ago, Suzuran-san had many wealthy [11:58] ---     retainers as her customers. [12:00] Shin     But they all suddenly     stopped visiting her. [12:04] Shin     It was because of a certain rumor     going through Yoshiwara. [12:06] Shin     Suzuran-san was the     favorite of that man. [12:09] Tsu     That man? [12:11] Tsu     Who was he? [12:13] Shin     It's the man [12:16] Shin     who lives over there. [12:20] Gin     Shinpachi-kun, are     you saying that... [12:24] Shin     The former shogun. [12:33] Gin     Pachi-boy, can I ask you a question? [12:35] Gin     What will happen to us if     we're caught sneaking [12:37] ---     into the castle to see     the former shogun? [12:39] Shin     We'll be executed. [12:41] Gin     What will happen if we wait for     the shogun to step outside? [12:44] Shin     We'll be executed. [12:45] Gin     Between the old former courtesan and the [12:48] ---     old former shogun, who has more money? [12:51] Shin     Should be the shogun. [12:53] Gin     Okay, I have a plan. [12:56] Gin     Tsukuyo will sneak past the     guards into the palace. [12:59] Gin     Then I report her to the guards and [13:01] ---     receive a reward from the shogun. [13:03] Gin     A perfect plan! [13:06] Tsu     This seems more perfect to me. [13:09] Gin     Calm down, Tsu-ki. [13:11] Gin     We're talking about the former shogun. [13:13] Gin     It'll be hard enough to announce     ourselves, let alone meet him. [13:16] Gin     What would we say if we met him, anyway? [13:19] Tsu     That his former lover is     waiting for him in hell. [13:21] Gin     This is bad. [13:23] ---     She's going to get us arrested     for assassinating the shogun! [13:26] Shin     So we won't be able to sneak inside? [13:28] Gin     They've got guards everywhere. [13:30] Gin     Something must have happened. [13:32] Gin     Besides, even if that [13:33] ---     old woman used to be the     top courtesan in Edo, [13:36] Gin     the shogun wouldn't go to     Yoshiwara to visit her. [13:40] Shin     The shogun was Suzuran-san's customer [13:43] ---     before he became the shogun. [13:46] Shin     And didn't you know, Gin-san? [13:49] Shin     You haven't heard about the     13th shogun, Sadasada-sama? [13:54] Shin     When the Amanto attacked, [13:55] ---     he replaced the 12th shogun     who collapsed from the stress. [14:00] Shin     While he was called a traitor     for opening up control, [14:04] Shin     he's considered a brilliant     leader who rebuilt the bakufu. [14:07] Shin     Even after abdicating, [14:09] ---     he holds incredible influence     and serves as an advisor. [14:13] Shin     He was known to be a player [14:15] Shin     with the highest number of wives     ever recorded in the family. [14:19] Gin     So he went Abarenbo Shogun     every Saturday at 8 PM? [14:23] Shin     He went Abarenbo Shogun     every night at 8 PM. [14:30] Tsu     He used his position to toy with     Suzuran, then he tossed her aside. [14:35] Tsu     My target is the former shogun. [14:38] Gin     Could you not use the word target? [14:40] Tsu     I understand that this is reckless. [14:42] Tsu     Nevertheless, I must go. [14:44] Gin     Hey! [14:45] Tsu     The woman devoted her     life to Yoshiwara. [14:48] Tsu     Yoshiwara must return the favor. [14:51] Tsu     She no longer needs the moon to     show her dreams that won't last. [14:55] Tsu     The last moon she sees will     be when her dream comes true. [15:00] Shin     Tsukuyo-san... [15:03] Kag     Wait, Tsu-ki! [15:06] Kag     There's nothing reckless     about that dream. [15:13] A     Open the gates! [15:22] B     Attention! [15:24] B     Princess Soyo has arrived! [15:26] Soyo     Kagura-chan! [15:27] B     Your Highness, behave yourself! [15:29] Kag     Soyo-chan! [15:31] Soyo     It's been forever! [15:32] Soyo     How have you been? [15:34] Kag     I'm doing just fine. [15:35] Kag     And you look like     you're in good shape. [15:38] B     Your Highness, it's not proper     to embrace someone in public. [15:38] Soyo     I've been so lonely since     the last time you came. [15:41] Soyo     Oh, did you bring me the new     sukonbu like you promised? [15:44] Soyo     Yup! [15:44] Gin     Huh? What's that? Who's that? [15:46] Gin     Clara and Heidi? [15:48] Shin     If my memory serves me right, [15:50] ---     that's Princess Soyo, the younger     sister of the current shogun. [15:53] Gin     If my memory serves me right, [15:54] ---     the princess wouldn't     be yodeling with Heidi. [15:59] Gin     No way. When did she     score a connection [16:01] ---     with the princess of this country? [16:03] Gin     When did she become more     influential than I am? [16:05] Gin     This is how Alm-Onji must have felt. [16:07] Gin     He couldn't be happy for Heidi when [16:09] ---     she came back from     Frankfurt all grown up. [16:12] Shin     Alm-Onji wasn't that mean. [16:15] Kag     I brought my friends     today. Is that okay? [16:18] Soyo     Of course. [16:19] Soyo     Your friends are my friends. [16:22] Soyo     Thank you for coming to visit today. [16:24] Soyo     You must be Gin-chan. [16:25] Gin     Huh? You know me? [16:27] Soyo     Yes, Kagura-chan has     told me all about you. [16:30] Soyo     I'm honored to meet you. [16:32] Gin     N-No, I'm the one who's honored. [16:34] Gin     You've done a lot for Kagura. [16:36] Soyo     You weren't lying about     how shaggy he is. [16:38] Gin     Uh, Kagura-chan? What have     you been telling her? [16:41] Soyo     So the glasses wearing the     human are Pachi-boy-san? [16:43] Shin     Glasses wearing the human?! [16:45] Shin     That's backwards! [16:46] Shin     What have you been     telling her about me?! [16:48] Soyo     Who is this woman? [16:50] Kagura     She came from Yoshiwara to     knock off the shogun... [16:54] Soyo     Yoshiwara? Knock off? [16:57] Tsu     No, I'm... You know... [16:59] Gin     She's a delivery hell girl who came from [17:02] ---     Yoshiwara to knock out the shogun. [17:03] Tsu     How is that any better?! [17:04] Soyo     So she's a delivery hell girl. SIGN    Delivery Hell [17:07] Tsu     It still sounds like I'm     delivering him to hell! [17:10] Soyo     I'm sorry. [17:11] ---     You came to visit me, but     we have to sneak around. [17:14] Soyo     Sorry about this, Grampy. [17:17] G     I'm used to your willful behavior. [17:19] G     At least you haven't run     away from the palace again. [17:23] Shin     Uh, did something happen? [17:25] Soyo     The palace is currently     under martial law. [17:28] G     Your Highness! That's classified! [17:29] Soyo     We can tell them. [17:32] Soyo     Lately, somebody has been attacking     important bakufu officials, [17:38] Soyo     so the palace is really     tense right now. [17:41] Shin     S-Sorry, it looks like     we came at a bad time. [17:46] Soyo     No, it's perfectly fine. [17:48] Soyo     I couldn't stand the gloomy     atmosphere much longer. [17:52] Sasa     I see. I have no choice then. [17:56] Sasa     Under normal circumstances, I would     tell these visitors to leave, [17:58] ---     friends of the princess or not. [18:01] Sasa     But I'll make an exception     in this case. [18:05] Sasa     Since one of my e-mail buddies is here. [18:07] Gin     Holy! [18:08] G     Sasaki-dono! [18:10] G     Forgive me, these are... [18:12] Sasa     No, it's fine. [18:15] Sasa     Since the Mimawarigumi has been [18:16] ---     entrusted to protect the palace, [18:18] ---     the princess is perfectly safe. [18:22] Sasa     And since we've determined [18:24] ---     that the assailant is most     likely a Joi patriot, [18:27] Sasa     it shouldn't matter if a former     Joi is allowed inside the palace. [18:31] Sasa     Isn't that right, White Yaksha? SIGN    From: Sabu-chan Subject: Your New Phone [18:33] Sasa     "Throwing away your phone was mean. [18:35] Sasa     I'll give you a new one,     so e-mail me again." [18:38] G     Your Highness, please be quiet! [18:41] G     If you cause any fuss, I, Rotten     Maizo, will lose my head. [18:45] Kag     Soyo-chan, what do you     want to do today? [18:47] Kag     We can play tag. [18:48] Soyo     Yes, yes! [18:48] G     Were you listening to me? [18:50] Kag     You whine too much, old man! [18:52] G     Don't call me an old man! [18:55] Gin     This isn't good. [18:56] Tsu     Do you know that man? [18:58] Gin     We made it inside the palace, [19:01] Gin     but we've got a pesky     watchdog on our tail now. [19:06] Sasa     "Nobu-tasu's guarding     the princess right now, [19:08] ---     so if you try anything     funny, you'll be killed. [19:10] Sasa     Be careful." [19:12] Shin     We could ask the princess to help us. [19:15] Gin     How are we supposed to explain     Yoshiwara to that innocent girl? [19:20] Gin     And we've got Grampy and the     watchdog monitoring us. [19:24] Tsu     That means we need to lose     Grampy and the watchdog [19:27] ---     before we can freely     move around the palace. [19:29] G     I won't let you play     tag! It's not proper! [19:32] Kag     You're so pissy! [19:34] Kag     That's why you're known as "Gram-pee." [19:37] G     That's what Grampy stands for? [19:39] Soyo     That's wrong, Kagura-chan. [19:40] Soyo     The Gram is short for Grand, [19:42] Soyo     so it's "Grand-pee." [19:44] G     Your Highness! That's worse! [19:47] Tsu     Enough of this, Kagura. [19:50] Kag     Tsu-ki... [19:51] Tsu     If we play tag under the     current circumstances, [19:53] ---     we'll be making more     trouble for the guards. [19:55] G     See? Did you hear that, Your Highness? [19:57] G     This is how grown-ups should act. [19:58] Tsu     Instead, you should keep it     quiet and play kick the can. [20:01] Gin     Wait, how does that make sense?! [20:04] Tsu     If you play tag, you'll be running     around and making a lot of noise. [20:06] Tsu     But kick the can is similar     to hide-and-seek. [20:09] Tsu     There shouldn't be too much noise. [20:10] Both     Makes sense! [20:11] Both     Wait, you're missing the point! [20:13] Gin     Is she going to use hide-and-seek as an [20:16] ---     excuse to shake Grampy and the watchdog? [20:18] Shin     Grampy's not going to accept that! [20:20] G     It's not proper for Your     Highness to kick cans! [20:23] Shin     See? [20:24] G     If you want to kick cans, [20:27] G     you should kick me instead! [20:28] Shin     What?! [20:29] Gin     Hey! Grampy's the worst offender here! [20:31] G     Now step on me with your pointy heels! [20:34] Soyo     Grand-pee! [20:35] Nobu     Wait. [20:37] Nobu     Kick the can... [20:38] Nobu     Kick the Grampy... [20:40] Nobu     I can't allow that. [20:41] Gin     Damn, here she comes! [20:44] Nobu     Let's play cut the Grampy. [20:45] Gin     You're joining in?! [20:47] Gin     What's cut the Grampy?! [20:49] Gin     Some kind of killing game?! [20:50] Soyo     Are you going to play     with us, Nobume-san? [20:54] Soyo     Yay! [20:55] Nobu     This is more pointy than her heels. [20:57] G     Uh, it's too pointy! [20:58] G     I'll take a grand piss on that idea! [21:01] Gin     Both Grampy and the     watchdog are joining in! [21:04] Gin     Wait, wait, wait. [21:06] Gin     A guard shouldn't be doing this. [21:08] Gin     Grampy's going to die, so     we should change the rules. [21:11] Nobu     Then I'm It. [21:12] Nobu     I'll cut down everyone I find. [21:14] Gin     That'll mean more casualties! [21:16] Gin     Are you that eager to cut people?! [21:19] Nobu     Hurry up and kick the can. [21:21] Gin     Wait! [21:22] Gin     Why are you starting already?! [21:25] Tsu     Gintoki! [21:26] Tsu     Kick the can as far as     you can to buy time! [21:29] Gin     Shut up! [21:30] Gin     Why do I have to buy you     guys time to run away?! [21:33] Gin     Damn it all! [21:34] Gin     I'll lose my head anyway when they [21:36] ---     find out we're sneaking     around the palace! [21:38] Gin     In that case, I'll kick it good! [21:44] Gin     Go! [21:49] Shogun     You're being too noisy, Soyo. [21:51] Shogun     Honestly, when will you realize that [21:54] ---     you are the Shogun's younger sister... [22:06] Gin     It-It-It... [22:09] Gin     It's the shogun?! SIGN    To be continued... [23:45] Gin     Guess what? [23:46] Gin     This spring... [23:47] Gin     No, this summer, the second     movie will be hitting theaters! [23:51] Kag     Yay! So spring... [23:52] Kag     I mean, summer is when it finally happens! [23:55] Kag     Time to celebrate! [23:56] Shin     This doesn't sound very celebratory. SIGN    Courtesan Turns the Tables! SIGN    The former shogun arrives SIGN    right as the current shogun is taken out!! SIGN    Given the terrible timing, SIGN    will Gintoki and crew be able to ask about Suzuran?!
