[01:36] Nobu
    The Tendoshu...
[01:38] Nobu
    So they've gotten off their fat
    asses to save their little toy.
[01:44] Sada
    It's rather unfortunate,
    dog of the Hitotsubashi.
[01:48] Sada
    As I told you before,
    nobody can ever judge me.
[01:52] Sada
    You are the ones who will be judged.
[01:56] A
    Lord Sadasada, it appears that
    you've suffered a serious setback.
[02:02] A
    I won't bother asking
    for an explanation.
[02:04] A
    No matter the reason,
[02:05] ---
    it is not in the interest of
    any of the parties involved
[02:10] ---
    to allow further commotion on
    the sacred palace grounds.
[02:12] A
    You must have your
    reasons for rebelling,
[02:16] ---
    but we will be intervening
    in this matter.
[02:19] A
    We will take temporary
    custody of Lord Sadasada.
[02:22] A
    Would you not agree that
    his sentence should
[02:25] ---
    be determined after
    thorough investigation?
[02:29] A
    And while your cause
    may have been just,
[02:32] ---
    you must be punished for
    disrupting the gover—
[02:33] Shige
    That won't be necessary.
[02:36] Shige
    I apologize for the
    long trip you've made,
[02:40] Shige
    but this is a domestic affair.
[02:44] Shige
    It only makes sense for us
    to settle this ourselves.
[02:47] Sada
    Sh-Shigeshige?!
[02:48] A
    Why, if it isn't the shogun.
[02:50] A
    I'm glad to see that you are safe.
[02:53] A
    But are you sure about that?
[02:55] A
    We proposed this solution
    with you in mind.
[02:58] A
    Sheltered by your uncle, you
    have grown to be a gentle lord.
[03:02] A
    Would you be capable of
    executing the beloved retainers
[03:04] ---
    who have turned their swords on you?
[03:07] Shige
    None of them have turned
    their swords on me.
[03:11] Shige
    They may be branded traitors
    and enemies of the state,
[03:16] Shige
    but I know what it is that
    they strive to protect.
[03:20] Shige
    They do not follow laws written by
    politicians for their own convenience.
[03:25] Shige
    They do not serve the
    empty title of shogun.
[03:30] Shige
    They follow their convictions.
[03:32] Shige
    They serve their souls.
[03:34] Shige
    That is what they fight for.
[03:36] Shige
    You can sully their reputation, but
    you cannot tarnish their hearts.
[03:42] Shige
    If I were to call that a crime
    and punish them for it...
[03:55] Shige
    My entire army would become criminals
[03:57] ---
    for turning their swords
     on their foolish ruler.
[04:01] Shige
    If I tried to punish them all,
    this nation would crumble.
[04:06] Sada
    Shigeshige! You bastard!
[04:09] Shige
    They have committed no crime.
[04:12] Shige
    The blame lies with the shogun family
    that was unworthy of ruling them.
[04:17] Shige
    Uncle, I am prepared to accept
    responsibility for failing to stop you.
SIGN    Resignation
[04:25] Shige
    We can go to hell together.
[04:30] Sada
    A-Are you going to give up
    your position as shogun?!
[04:36] Shige
    Please leave.
[04:38] Shige
    This is
[04:40] Shige
    Samurai Country.
SIGN    Unsetting Moon
[04:49] A
    You did a spectacular job, Sasaki-dono.
[04:54] A
    Nobunobu-sama was impressed by
    the devotion you demonstrated
[04:58] ---
    by carrying out your
    mission while injured.
[05:01] A
    You will be rewarded once
    the Hitotsubashi faction
[05:04] ---
    establishes a new government.
[05:07] A
    Our greatest enemy, Sadasada, has been
[05:09] ---
    imprisoned after his
    crimes were exposed.
[05:12] A
    And what's amazing is
    that Shigeshige stepped
SIGN    Resignation
[05:16] ---
    down as shogun to take him down.
[05:19] A
    We are now in position
[05:21] ---
    to name Nobunobu-sama as
    the next shogun with ease.
[05:26] Sasa
    Nezu-dono, this is a
    government hospital.
[05:30] Sasa
    There are ears everywhere.
[05:32] A
    Impossible. The Hitotsubashi's
    time has come.
[05:36] A
    Nobody would dare to
    stand against us now.
[05:38] Hiji
    I beg to differ.
[05:39] Hiji
    The walls have ears and
    the doors have eyes.
[05:42] Hiji
    And there are...
[05:43] Kondo
    ...fairies on your shoulders.
[05:47] Nezu
    Demons!
[05:48] Nezu
    I must get going!
[05:49] Nezu
    Take care!
[05:51] Sasa
    I never dreamed that you
    would come visit me.
[05:55] Sasa
    It appears that despite your appearance,
[05:58] ---
    you have the hearts of fairies.
[06:00] Hiji
    Well, you're lined up to be
    the next police commissioner.
[06:04] Hiji
    Why not start kissing some ass?
[06:08] Hiji
    We'll come to your funeral.
[06:12] Sasa
    Have you come to take my life after
[06:15] ---
    realizing you were being used?
[06:17] Kondo
    We would be happy to let you use us
    if it meant a tyrant could be toppled,
[06:21] Kondo
    but if your goal was to make our lord
[06:24] ---
    take the fall to protect
    us, we'll take steps.
[06:30] Sasa
    Loyalty to your lord?
[06:32] Sasa
    Topple tyrants?
[06:34] Sasa
    Is that truly why you
    took up your swords?
[06:38] Sasa
    If you believe I orchestrated the
[06:41] ---
    shogun's fall for the sake
    of the Hitotsubashi faction,
[06:43] ---
    you are sorely mistaken.
[06:45] Sasa
    Not even an elite could have
    predicted this would happen.
[06:49] Sasa
    To think that the ruler
    of a nation gave up his position
[06:52] ---
    for the sake of a mere samurai.
[06:55] Sasa
    To think that the wild monkeys
    would take up their swords
[06:58] ---
    for an ancient promise.
[06:59] Sasa
    That man defies all reason.
[07:02] Sasa
    That Sakata Gintoki...
[07:05] Sasa
    I hope that capricious girl's stubborn streak
[07:10] ---
    wasn't a result of his bad influence.
[07:13] Sasa
    What do you say, Nobume-san?
[07:18] Sasa
    Unfortunately, I'm not naive
    enough to believe that
[07:22] ---
    replacing the shogun
    will change this world.
[07:27] Sasa
    Instead of depending
    on foreign countries,
[07:29] Sasa
    we should build a nation
    that can compete with them.
[07:32] Sasa
    That is the dream of the
    Hitotsubashi's leader,
[07:36] Sasa
    but I'm not one to go in
    for such a pipe dream.
[07:41] Sasa
    I have much bigger plans in mind.
[07:46] Sasa
    You don't need to worry.
[07:47] ---
    The Tendoshu should
    make their move soon.
[07:50] Sasa
    You should be guarding Sadasada,
    not hanging out here.
[07:55] Sasa
    I had a report from my men.
[07:58] Sasa
    The crow's carcass vanished.
[08:04] A
    Sadasada failed us.
[08:06] B
    He was so obsessed with
    maintaining power that he
[08:09] ---
    failed to notice the foundations
    crumble beneath him.
[08:13] C
    It would be detrimental to
    restore him to power now.
[08:16] D
    A fool who could not keep
    up with Hitotsubashi
[08:20] ---
    holds no value as a
    ruler in the first place.
[08:23] E
    We should have cut that worthless
    puppet loose sooner.
[08:28] Oboro
    While he may hold no value as a
    puppet, he can still serve as bait.
[08:36] A
    Have you returned, messenger
    of the heavens, Yatagarasu?
[08:40] Oboro
    It took a while to restore my
    meridians and keep myself alive.
[08:46] A
    Who would be capable of
    injuring you so severely?
[08:50] Oboro
    A demon who fell for the bait.
[08:54] A
    Ah, a demon...
[08:56] Oboro
    Sadasada is a figurehead
    of the Joi suppression.
[09:00] Oboro
    We need him to draw out certain foes.
[09:03] Oboro
    There is no need to fear
    the Hitotsubashi faction.
[09:07] Oboro
    They are nothing more than
    puppets, much like Sadasada.
[09:12] Oboro
    The ones using this chance to sneak
    into the heart of the country...
[09:16] ---
    They are our true enemies.
[09:18] A
    And we need that puppet to
    bring out those demons?
[09:25] Sada
    It took you long enough.
[09:29] Sada
    I'd grown tired of waiting.
[09:31] Sada
    I was thinking that the Tendoshu
    had finally abandoned me.
[09:36] Sada
    Now, unlock this door and release me.
[09:40] Sada
    It's too bad, Shigeshige!
[09:43] Sada
    You will never get to
    judge me! No one will!
[09:46] Sada
    Not even the heavens can judge me!
[09:54] Sada
    Huh?
[09:57] Taka
    That's right.
[09:59] Taka
    You won't be judged by the
    shogun or the heavens.
[10:05] Taka
    You will be judged
[10:10] Taka
    by me.
[10:11] Sada
    Y-You're...
[10:14] Taka
    Don't bother trying to remember me
[10:16] Taka
    since I'll bring the Tendoshu
[10:18] Taka
    and those worthless crows...
[10:20] Taka
    No...
[10:22] Taka
    I'll bring the heads of every person on
    this planet down to hell with me.
[10:27] Taka
    Say hello
[10:29] Taka
    to Sensei for me.
[10:42] Oboro
    Yes.
[10:44] Oboro
    Those demons are our true enemies.
[10:48] Oboro
    The students of Shoyo.
[10:51] Nobu
    It appears that you were
    a step too late, Oboro.
[10:56] Oboro
    So you're not fooling around,
[10:59] ---
    Mukuro...
[11:00] Oboro
    No, you go by the name Imai Nobume now.
[11:04] Oboro
    Once, you served the heavens and
[11:06] ---
    were named one of the Naraku
    Three at a young age,
[11:10] Oboro
    yet you now side with a student
[11:13] ---
    of Shoyo and turn your
    blade on the heavens?
[11:17] Nobu
    Isaburo said he would go along
    with that man's grand scheme.
[11:22] Nobu
    So I will do the same.
[11:24] Oboro
    I see.
[11:26] Oboro
    Then one of us will have
[11:28] ---
    our feathers plucked
    the next time we meet.
[11:32] Oboro
    Wait.
[11:35] Oboro
    Were those two anything like Shoyo?
[11:40] Nobu
    No.
[11:42] Nobu
    One was trying to protect
    Shoyo's legacy.
[11:46] Nobu
    The other was trying to
    destroy Shoyo's legacy.
[11:51] Nobu
    But they had one thing in common.
[11:55] Nobu
    They both
[11:58] ---
    had such sorrow in their eyes.
[12:13] Oki
    I suppose this is karma.
[12:16] Oki
    A man who built an empire
    through assassination
[12:19] ---
    was finished by an assassin.
[12:22] Oki
    Well, it could get ugly if the
[12:24] ---
    public learned this happened
    right after that big ruckus,
[12:27] Oki
    so the official announcement will
    be that he died of illness.
[12:31] Oki
    I can understand that
    you're not happy about it,
[12:34] ---
    but we've been given orders.
[12:36] Gin
    What about the killer?
[12:37] Oki
    Well, I can't tell if
    they're even interested
[12:40] ---
    in finding out who it was.
[12:43] Tsu
    Did the Tendoshu kill him
    so he couldn't talk?
[12:46] Oki
    After they mobilized all those
    people to rescue Sadasada?
[12:51] Oki
    I'm pretty sure that
    the Tendoshu were still
[12:54] ---
    looking for a chance to
    take back Sadasada.
[12:58] Oki
    The assassination was
    carried out despite that.
[13:00] Oki
    No...
[13:02] Oki
    It was probably meant
    as a declaration of war
[13:04] ---
    from the Hitotsubashi to the Tendoshu.
[13:06] Oki
    To prove it, we have an imperial
    decree from the Emperor.
[13:11] Shi
    What? Shogun-sama's
    resignation was denied?
[13:14] Soyo
    Yes.
[13:15] Soyo
    My brother has been
    ordered to continue
[13:18] ---
    supporting the Bakufu
    now that our uncle is gone.
[13:22] Shin
    Oh, that's great!
[13:24] Kagura
    We were worried that Sho-chan
    quit because of us.
[13:29] Oki
    Those fools are probably thrilled,
[13:32] Oki
    but it's obvious that the
    Tendoshu were behind this act.
[13:37] Oki
    Which means that the Tendoshu see
    the Hitotsubashi as their enemy.
[13:42] Oki
    Shigeshige has only been set
    up as an interim ruler.
[13:47] Tsu
    Does the Hitotsubashi faction
    intend to fight the Tendoshu
[13:51] ---
    to take control of the government?
[13:54] Oki
    Well, I don't know if they're
    trying to take control,
[13:57] Gin
    That's mine.
[13:58] Oki
    or if they want to get rid of the
[14:01] ---
    Bakufu and throw the world into chaos.
[14:04] Oki
    Either way, there's a lot
    of action in the shadows.
[14:08] Gin
    Wait. If the Bakufu's a mess
    right now, that old man is...
[14:13] Oki
    He managed to survive.
[14:15] Oki
    But he probably can't
    step outside the palace,
[14:19] ---
    much less visit Yoshiwara.
[14:22] Oki
    His health is certainly a concern,
[14:25] Oki
    but the palace is on lockdown,
[14:27] ---
    and there are even guards
    watching the shogun.
[14:29] Oki
    No one is allowed to enter or leave.
[14:33] Nobu
    Your Highness, it is
    time for you to return.
[14:36] Soyo
    Nobume-san...
[14:40] Nobu
    That look won't help.
[14:43] Oki
    Well, I figured this would happen.
[14:47] Oki
    Seriously, what were we fighting for?
[14:59] Hino
    The doctor said that she won't
    make it through the night.
[15:02] Hino
    This may be the last moon
    Lady Suzuran ever waits for.
[15:10] Hino
    Don't be sad.
[15:11] Hino
    Suzuran-san and the rest of
    you all tried your best.
[15:16] Hino
    Did you think that I didn't
    know you were sneaking around?
[15:22] Hino
    Honestly, that was quite
    a mess you caused.
[15:25] Hino
    I was quite worried since you've
    started to act like Gin-san.
[15:30] Hino
    That's why I tried to
    keep my mouth shut,
[15:33] ---
    but I guess it didn't matter in the end.
[15:36] Tsu
    Hinowa, did you know who
    Suzuran was waiting for?
[15:40] Hino
    Hard to say. But considering
    how long she's waited,
[15:46] Hino
    he must have been a wonderful man.
[15:49] Hino
    That much I do know.
[15:53] Hino
    Isn't that right, Suzuran-san?
[15:55] Suzu
    Hinowa-chan, could you
    help me with my makeup?
[16:02] Suzu
    It's time to fulfill our promise.
[16:13] Sasa
    Where are you going at this late hour?
[16:17] Sasa
    You're running off to amuse yourself
    in Yoshiwara with that body?
[16:20] Sasa
    You'll die.
[16:21] Sasa
    I can't afford any further commotion.
[16:25] Sasa
    Please restrain yourself
    and return to your room.
[16:28] Mai
    I understand that I'm
    disobeying orders.
[16:31] Mai
    If you intend to cut me down, go ahead.
[16:34] Mai
    I no longer have any arms
    for your blade to take.
[16:37] Mai
    You can help yourself
    to my legs or head.
[16:41] Mai
    However, those young people helped
    revive the promise we once made.
[16:47] Mai
    The thread tied to my soul
[16:51] Mai
    cannot be severed by any blade.
[16:56] Sasa
    Normally, I would forgive an elderly
    man's desire to fool around,
[17:00] ---
    but the circumstances will not allow it.
[17:02] Sasa
    I cannot allow anything to
    happen that could potentially
[17:06] ---
    aggravate the tense political situation.
[17:10] Sasa
    I will warn you one more time.
[17:12] Sasa
    Please return to your room.
[17:15] Hino
    Okay, all done.
[17:18] Hino
    You look beautiful, Suzuran-san.
[17:20] Hino
    Every girl wants to look pretty
    for the man she loves.
[17:24] Hino
    Now, Tsukuyo.
[17:26] Hino
    Bring the kimono.
[17:28] Hino
    What are you doing?
[17:29] Hino
    Tsukuyo?
[17:31] Suzu
    Tsukuyo-chan, did you make that
    promise with your special man?
[17:38] Tsu
    No...
[17:39] Suzu
    Was it an important promise?
[17:42] Gin
    We'll bring the old man 
    back to Suzuran together.
[17:47] Suzu
    Then you should believe in it.
[17:52] Suzu
    A good man will always
    keep his promise.
[17:59] Suzu
    Isn't that right?
[18:03] Tsu
    Yeah...
[18:05] Tsu
    You're right.
[18:07] Sasa
    What?
[18:08] Sasa
    How did you get in here?
[18:11] Gin
    If you wanna play Kick the
    Can, follow the finger!
[18:17] All
    Me!
[18:20] Sasa
    Wh—
[18:21] Sasa
    What are you people doing?
[18:23] Sasa
    Why is the shogun here?
[18:25] Oki
    This is too many people to
    use rock-paper-scissors,
[18:27] ---
    so Hijikata can be It.
[18:29] Hiji
    Screw that!
[18:29] Hiji
    Look at all these people!
[18:30] Hiji
    That would be torture!
[18:32] Shige
    Enough.
[18:33] Shige
    I've seen enough internal strife.
[18:36] Shige
    As shogun, I will choose
    someone to be It.
[18:40] Shige
    Grampy, if you will?
[18:43] Sasa
    Please stop this.
[18:45] Sasa
    You've allowed outsiders inside,
[18:47] ---
    and now you're abandoning
    your responsibility?
[18:55] Nobu
    Go grab the can.
[18:58] Nobu
    It probably flew all
    the way to Yoshiwara.
[19:02] Gin
    Okay, everybody hide.
[19:10] Suzu
    I loathe the moon.
[19:13] Suzu
    With nightfall, it brings you to me,
[19:17] Suzu
    but it also takes you from 
    me when dawn breaks.
[19:21] Suzu
    I wish the moon would never leave us.
[19:24] Suzu
    Then you would always be here with me.
[19:29] A
    The moon will come with the night again.
[19:33] A
    And someday, when it does, 
    I will take you with me in the morning.
[19:41] A
    Wait before the cherry blossom tree
[19:43] ---
    on the night of the next full moon.
[19:46] Suzu
    Do you promise?
[19:49] A
    I promise.
[19:52] Both
    Promise.
[20:12] Suzu
    You
[20:16] ---
    finally came.
[20:23] Suzu
    The final moon brought you to me.
[20:30] Suzu
    But I must apologize.
[20:33] Suzu
    Both the cherry blossoms and I have
    withered during the long wait.
[20:43] Mai
    What are you talking about?
[20:48] Mai
    Nothing has changed.
[20:52] Mai
    The cherry blossoms are every bit
    as beautiful as they once were.
[21:06] Suzu
    Maizo-sama...
[21:09] Suzu
    Am I dreaming?
[21:12] Suzu
    Will you be gone when the moon leaves
