**[00:05] Oboro**
Shoyo is also watching
**[00:07] Oboro**
as the student he sacrificed
his life to protect
**[00:10] Oboro**
falls apart without protecting a thing.
**[00:14] Gin**
Don't you leave...
**[00:16] Gin**
Don't you leave!
**[00:19] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[00:30] Kondo**
Excuse me.
**[00:31] Kondo**
What are you doing here
so late at night?
**[00:34] Sasa**
Excuse me, could you please
show me your license?
**[02:09] Oboro**
Please hurry, My Lord.
**[02:11] Sada**
What's the matter, Oboro?
**[02:12] Sada**
I was hoping to watch those
rebels meet their demise.
**[02:19] Oboro**
The crows are astir.
**[02:21] Oboro**
It appears that there's
been a shift in the wind.
**[02:24] Sada**
What are you talking about?
**[02:26] Sada**
Those rebels are already...
**[02:33] Kondo**
Good evening.
**[02:35] Sasa**
This is the police.
**[02:37] Sasa**
What are you people doing?
**[02:41] Sasa**
If you screw up...
**[02:43] Kondo**
We'll lose our heads!
**[02:46] Gin**
Y-You guys...
***SIGN*** Pinky Swear
**[02:58] A**
I-Impossible!
**[02:59] A**
Why are the Mimawarigumi
inside the palace?!
**[03:01] B**
What's going on here?!
**[03:04] B**
You serve the Bakufu!
**[03:06] B**
You're police officers, yet you assist
the rebels, you traitorous scum?!
**[03:10] Kondo**
Assist the rebels?
**[03:12] Kondo**
Don't make false accusations.
**[03:16] Kondo**
There was an order to execute
those criminals in the morning.
**[03:20] Kondo**
If you're trying to dispatch
them before the sun is up,
**[03:24] Kondo**
you would be the ones
defying the government.
**[03:28] Kondo**
Our lord ordered us to guard
**[03:30] ---**
the criminals until the
execution takes place.
**[03:33] Kondo**
In other words, it is our duty
to protect them until morning.
**[03:40] Shin**
K-Kondo-san...
**[03:42] A**
You rural samurai don't get to talk!
**[03:44] A**
Have you forgotten who let you
country bumpkins keep your swords?!
**[03:48] A**
And now you're biting the
hand that feeds you!
**[03:51] A**
You're lower than rebel
scum, you animals!
**[03:53] Oki**
I'm fine with being an animal.
**[03:55] Oki**
Beats being a dog that wags
its tail at fat pigs.
**[04:00] Oki**
When a fat pig is lying
on the ground before you,
**[04:03] Oki**
it gets eaten by
**[04:05] Oki**
the wolves.
**[04:07] Kag**
Don't call me a pig,
you punk Chihuahua!
**[04:09] Oki**
I wasn't talking about you, Miss Piggy!
**[04:11] Kag**
It *was* about me!
**[04:12] A**
Were you the ones who let the
Mimawarigumi inside the palace?!
**[04:15] A**
Has Sasaki joined forces with the
Shinsengumi to start a coup d'etat?!
**[04:22] Hiji**
Who joined forces with who
to start a what d'etat?
**[04:27] Hiji**
Why don't you repeat that?
**[04:29] A**
Have you...
**[04:31] Hiji**
Eh? I couldn't hear you. What was that?
**[04:33] B**
...and the Mimawarigumi...
**[04:35] Hiji**
I said that I can't hear you! Yell it out!
**[04:39] C**
...joined forces?
**[04:40] Hiji**
Can't hear a thing! And I'm
not interested in hearing you!
**[04:43] Hiji**
You make me want to throw up!
**[04:44] Hiji**
Who would join forces
with those losers?!
**[04:46] Kondo**
Calm down, Toshi.
**[04:47] Hiji**
Okay, Kondo-san.
**[04:48] Hiji**
We've got them inside the palace.
**[04:50] Hiji**
Let's torch 'em with Sadasada!
**[04:52] Kondo**
Wait! That wasn't part of the plan!
**[04:54] Kondo**
Hell, you're sounding
like one of the Joi now!
**[04:55] A**
Forget it! Kill 'em all!
**[04:59] Sasa**
Oh, it appears that
they've gotten started.
**[05:03] Sasa**
As you can see, the palace has
been surrounded by us elites.
**[05:08] Sasa**
I told them to drop their weapons
and surrender, but I was lying.
**[05:13] Sasa**
I've always wanted to say that.
**[05:16] Sasa**
Please don't drop your weapons.
**[05:19] Sasa**
It would look bad if the cops
**[05:21] ---**
were to slaughter a
bunch of unarmed people.
**[05:25] Gin**
Y-You bastard...
**[05:27] Nobu**
You're late.
**[05:28] Sasa**
I'm so sorry, Nobume-san.
**[05:31] Sasa**
Thank you for carrying out your
mission alone while I was gone.
**[05:36] Sasa**
Here's a donut for you.
**[05:40] Sasa**
You see, being an elite, I was
able to avoid a lethal blow,
**[05:44] Sasa**
but it took a while to remove
the poison from my body.
**[05:46] Sasa**
Well, it was still easier than
removing a curry udon stain.
**[05:52] Sasa**
And it appears that you took good
care of our Nobume, Sakata-san.
**[05:57] Sasa**
I owe you now.
**[06:00] Nobu**
They only got in my way.
**[06:02] Sasa**
You can't blame them.
**[06:04] Sasa**
Nobume-san, they're ordinary
people, unlike us elites.
**[06:09] Sasa**
But it appears that he won't be
of any more use at this point.
**[06:13] Gin**
That's bullshit.
**[06:16] Gin**
The elite must be really
special to need help
**[06:19] ---**
from the ordinary to make it back here.
**[06:22] Sasa**
It wasn't by choice.
**[06:25] Sasa**
A certain person requested
that we work together.
**[06:28] Sasa**
And we are simply using each
other to ensure our survival.
**[06:33] Sasa**
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
**[06:35] Sasa**
Oh, excuse me.
**[06:37] Sasa**
That's probably too difficult for
you ordinary folk to understand.
**[06:41] Sasa**
Essentially, it's like Nobita and
Gian in the Doraemon movies.
**[06:45] Sasa**
Two rivals who will use each other
to achieve the same purpose
**[06:50] ---**
when faced with a crisis.
**[06:53] Gin**
Doraemon isn't such a dark story.
**[06:56] Sasa**
In other words...
**[07:04] Sasa**
Sakata-san, you are useless trash now.
**[07:09] Sasa**
Now that I've disposed of that
garbage, let's clean this place up.
**[07:17] Tsu**
Bastard!
**[07:21] Tsu**
Gintoki!
**[07:22] Tsu**
Hang in there!
**[07:23] Tsu**
Hey, Ginto—
**[07:32] Tsu**
Gintoki, you...
**[07:35] Tsu**
What is this?
**[07:36] Sasa**
It's a form of acupuncture.
**[07:38] Sasa**
His body will still feel numb for a while,
**[07:40] Sasa**
but at least he'll be able to move.
**[07:43] Sasa**
I also injected some serum into him.
**[07:45] Sasa**
The elite never miss a step.
**[07:48] Sasa**
Consider my debt paid.
**[07:51] Sasa**
Now, go back to the
other ordinary people.
**[07:54] Sasa**
If you stick around, you'll end up
being taken out with the trash.
**[07:59] Gin**
Don't make me laugh.
**[08:02] Gin**
You're not giving me any interest
after taking this long to get here?!
**[08:07] Sasa**
Begging for more again?
**[08:09] Sasa**
What do you want?
**[08:17] Gin**
Sadasada's head.
**[08:19] Sasa**
Good grief.
**[08:21] Sasa**
That's a lot of interest.
**[08:25] Gin**
Nah, his head's worth nothing.
**[08:35] Sasa**
I have an order for the Mimawarigumi.
**[08:37] Sasa**
All elites will begin supporting
that ordinary man.
**[08:41] Sasa**
On our pride as elites, we must not
allow a single person to go upstairs.
**[08:48] Tsu**
You won't listen if I tell you that
your body can't take any more.
**[08:52] Tsu**
Then I'm coming with you.
**[08:53] Tsu**
I won't let you break our promise.
**[08:55] Tsu**
That goes for you and Maizo.
**[08:58] Nobu**
Time for the last stage.
**[09:00] Nobu**
I won't let you hog the glory.
**[09:04] Nobu**
The last bite of a donut
is always the best.
**[09:18] Sada**
What's going on here?
**[09:21] Oboro**
The Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi,
**[09:23] ---**
the two largest police forces
in Edo, have joined forces.
**[09:27] Sada**
I was told that they were rivals.
**[09:31] Oboro**
It would seem that someone
has brought them together.
**[09:35] Oboro**
The ship will be here soon.
**[09:36] Oboro**
You should escape, for your own safety.
**[09:40] Oboro**
My Lord.
**[09:41] Sada**
Are they serious about
taking over this country?
**[09:45] Sada**
In that case, I must respond.
**[09:50] Sada**
Summon every remaining police
force to the palace.
**[09:55] Sada**
We'll crush them with all of our might.
**[10:03] A**
Wh-What's happening?!
**[10:05] B**
B-Big trouble!
**[10:06] B**
There are armies attacking
the north and south gates!
**[10:08] A**
Impossible! Who are they?!
**[10:10] Matsu**
Listen up!
**[10:11] Matsu**
Clear me a path in three seconds
**[10:13] Matsu**
or else I blow down the gates.
**[10:15] Matsu**
One.
**[10:19] A**
What happened to two and three?!
**[10:21] Matsu**
Couldn't tell you.
**[10:22] ---**
A man only needs the number
one to get through life.
**[10:27] A**
Th-The entire police force?!
**[10:30] A**
Impossible!
**[10:31] A**
The police are rebelling?!
**[10:34] A**
That's absolutely absurd!
**[10:36] A**
This is no uprising!
**[10:38] A**
Nobody's capable of bringing
all these men together!
**[10:42] Kondo**
There's one person who can do that.
**[10:44] Kondo**
One person capable of ordering
the police, or anyone, around.
**[10:48] Kondo**
You still don't understand
what this is, Lord Sadasada?
**[11:06] Shige**
You are the traitor who has betrayed
**[11:08] Shige**
this country.
**[11:10] Sada**
Shigeshige... So you're behind this.
**[11:13] A**
My Lord! What are you doing here?!
**[11:17] Shige**
Lower your weapons.
**[11:19] Shige**
We've wasted too much time fighting.
**[11:21] Shige**
You men are valuable soldiers
who defend this country.
**[11:25] Shige**
I will not allow you to
throw your lives away.
**[11:28] A**
B-But, My Lord...
**[11:29] A**
We have orders from Sadasada-sama.
**[11:31] Shige**
Were you not listening?
**[11:34] Shige**
I told you to drop your weapons.
**[11:50] Shige**
Will you clear a path for me?
**[11:57] A**
My Lord?!
**[11:57] A**
You mustn't!
**[11:59] A**
They're rebel scum who
wronged our country!
**[12:01] A**
It's dangerous to approach them!
**[12:07] Shin**
Sh-Shogun-sama...
**[12:10] Shige**
My shortcomings have caused
you so much suffering.
**[12:13] Shige**
Let me offer you my gratitude.
**[12:15] Shige**
Thank you for defending
my loyal retainer.
**[12:20] Shige**
If it weren't for you, I would have...
**[12:23] Shige**
We would have allowed the beloved
man who raised us to die.
**[12:28] Soyo**
Grampy!
**[12:32] Mai**
Y-Your Highness...
**[12:33] Shige**
Grampy, I'm sorry.
**[12:36] Shige**
I was by your side,
**[12:39] Shige**
yet I never realized your pain.
**[12:43] Shige**
You've devoted your life to
serving the shogun family,
**[12:48] Shige**
yet we've only made you suffer for it.
**[12:53] Shige**
Grampy, is it too late to
**[12:58] ---**
fulfill your promise?
**[13:01] Mai**
Shigeshige-sama...
**[13:07] Shige**
Soyo, take care of Grampy.
**[13:09] Soyo**
Yes, Brother.
**[13:12] Shige**
Clear a path.
**[13:17] Shige**
I need to talk to my uncle.
**[13:19] Sada**
The man who raised them?
**[13:22] Sada**
Oboro, what is he talking about?
**[13:27] Sada**
Who was the one who turned a helpless,
**[13:31] ---**
fatherless boy into the shogun?
**[13:37] Sada**
Who was the one who kept
you and this nation safe
**[13:42] ---**
while being accused of
selling out this country?!
**[13:47] Sada**
It was me!
**[13:49] Sada**
I, Tokugawa Sadasada, am
the father of this nation!
**[13:54] Sada**
My rule has kept this nation safe.
**[13:58] Sada**
Despite all that, you now
choose to turn on me?!
**[14:04] Oboro**
They say that a doll will gain
a heart if enough time passes,
**[14:09] Oboro**
though it seems that this doll
was given a stubborn soul.
**[14:13] Oboro**
He's realized that you were protecting
yourself, not this nation.
**[14:19] Oboro**
If you continue to
cling to this country,
**[14:22] ---**
your position may not
be the only thing lost.
**[14:24] Oboro**
You may lose your life.
**[14:26] Oboro**
Please join me in seeking
help from the Tendoshu.
**[14:30] Sada**
Are you telling me to abandon
**[14:32] ---**
what's taken me half
my life to build up?!
**[14:34] Sada**
To run off to the Tendoshu and
allow these traitors to live?!
**[14:40] Oboro**
Considering the contributions
you have made,
**[14:42] ---**
they will surely assist
in restoring you to power.
**[14:46] Sada**
Nonsense.
**[14:48] Sada**
They consider both myself
and Shigeshige...
**[14:51] Sada**
No, they consider this entire planet
to be nothing more than a tool.
**[14:55] Sada**
Isn't that right, messenger
of the heavens,
**[14:58] Sada**
Yatagarasu?
**[15:01] Sada**
The Tendoshu sent you to ensure that
I would be an expendable tool.
**[15:07] Sada**
If I am the traitor who
sold out this country,
**[15:10] Sada**
you Naraku are the crows
who feed on its carcass.
**[15:16] Sada**
That ship is here to help?
**[15:17] Sada**
Don't make me laugh!
**[15:19] Sada**
Once I meet with the Tendoshu,
**[15:21] Sada**
I'll never return to Earth.
**[15:24] Oboro**
We are ready to take
you wherever you wish.
**[15:27] Oboro**
Our mission is to assist
you in any way possible.
**[15:33] Sada**
You'll take me wherever I wish?
**[15:35] Sada**
In that case,
**[15:37] Sada**
let's go to Yoshiwara!
**[15:41] Sada**
The place where my rule began.
**[15:43] Sada**
The cursed land where I was betrayed.
**[15:47] Sada**
I want you to prove your
loyalty to me in that place.
**[15:51] Oboro**
Prove our loyalty? How?
**[15:55] Sada**
Kill Suzuran.
**[15:58] Sada**
That betrayal was where this all began.
**[16:01] Sada**
So Maizo and Suzuran...
**[16:04] Sada**
I will completely shatter your promise
and end this once and for all.
**[16:12] Sada**
I will punish every person
who dared to betray me.
**[16:17] Oboro**
If that is what you wish.
**[16:20] Oboro**
I will follow shortly.
**[16:22] Oboro**
Set sail for Yoshiwara.
**[16:31] Gin**
Yoshiwara?
**[16:33] Gin**
I don't think so.
**[16:36] Gin**
This ship won't take you to paradise...
**[16:40] Gin**
It's headed straight to hell, bastard.
**[17:04] ---**
You bastard...
**[17:08] Kondo**
Did he pull it off?
**[17:11] Kagura**
Gi—
**[17:12] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[17:16] Oboro**
You refuse to die.
**[17:19] Oboro**
I didn't expect you to drag that
beaten body back before me again.
**[17:23] Oboro**
You continue to fight?
You continue to howl?
**[17:27] Oboro**
If you would close your eyes, you
would not suffer any more loss.
**[17:31] Oboro**
Yet you return to the
battlefield again,
**[17:35] Oboro**
White Yaksha.
**[17:37] Oboro**
It's too late now.
**[17:39] Oboro**
No matter how much you struggle,
**[17:41] Oboro**
none of it will come back to you.
**[17:44] Oboro**
Not this country, not your
friends, not Shoyo...
**[17:47] Sada**
Th-The Tendoshu!
**[17:49] Sada**
Did they come here after
hearing about the revolt?!
**[17:53] Sada**
I-It's over...
**[17:55] Sada**
You're all finished!
**[18:01] Oboro**
You are nothing more than a ghost
**[18:02] ---**
who roams the battlefield in
search of that which was lost.
**[18:05] Oboro**
This is not where you belong.
**[18:09] Oboro**
You will be consumed by the flames
of revenge and sent back to hell,
**[18:13] Oboro**
demon!
**[18:19] Oboro**
*He's trying to prevent me
from using poison needles?*
**[18:28] Oboro**
He learned my technique just
by experiencing it once?
**[18:32] Gin**
Sent back to hell?
**[18:34] Gin**
You must be dreaming.
**[18:37] Gin**
You and I are already
on a date in hell.
**[18:47] Oboro**
Do you believe you can use
my own technique against me?
**[18:50] Oboro**
My assassination techniques aren't meant
**[18:52] ---**
to attack enemy pressure points.
**[18:55] Oboro**
They're meant for controlling my own
pressure points to maximize my strength.
**[18:59] Oboro**
I can easily remove any
poison from my body.
**[19:03] Sada**
O-Oboro...
**[19:06] Gin**
That's enough.
**[19:08] Gin**
Hell's too good for that guy,
**[19:11] Gin**
but it seems appropriate
for him to be judged
**[19:13] ---**
by the laws he created.
**[19:15] Oboro**
What?!
**[19:24] Oboro**
I don't need needles to attack
your pressure points!
**[19:53] Oboro**
It's over, White Yaksha!
**[19:57] Gin**
*It's not over.*
**[19:59] Gin**
*I haven't lost.*
**[20:04] Gin**
*My body can still move.*
**[20:07] Gin**
*My hand can still reach.*
**[20:10] Shoyo**
*Gintoki,*
**[20:12] ---**
*look after things for me.*
**[20:15] Shoyo**
*Don't worry. It's no big deal.*
**[20:17] Shoyo**
*I'll be back very soon.*
**[20:21] Shoyo**
*So until then, please protect our friends,*
**[20:25] Shoyo**
*protect everyone, for me.*
**[20:33] Shoyo**
*Promise me that.*
**[20:47] Gin**
Yeah.
**[20:48] Gin**
It's a promise.
**[20:52] Gin**
Sensei!
**[21:09] Oboro**
Go back to hell, White Yaksha!
**[21:18] Gin**
Sorry, I have a prior engagement.
**[21:21] Gin**
I already made reservations,
**[21:25] Gin**
so you'll have to wait in hell for me.
**[21:30] Gin**
Say hello to Sensei for me.
**[21:32] Oboro**
You bastard!
**[22:04] Gin**
Promises shouldn't be made lightly.
**[23:45] Gin**
Uh, so when in summer is
the movie coming out?
**[23:49] Kagura**
Summer's a long time.
**[23:51] Gin**
Stupid, summer is the period
when TUBE is active.
**[23:55] Gin**
So the movie can only be released
when Maeda's feeling up to it.
**[23:58] Shin**
Hell no!
