***SIGN*** Restaurant Ketsunoi
**[01:31] W**
Welcome.
**[01:35] W**
Your room is this way.
**[01:39] Kat**
You're late, Gintoki!
**[01:41] Kat**
If this were back during the Joi War,
**[01:44] Kat**
our troops might've been left in disarray
**[01:46] Kat**
and suffered massive losses because of you.
**[01:51] Sak**
Don't be a stick in the mud!
**[01:53] Sak**
You know Kintoki isn't the kind of man
who'd let military rules bind him.
***SIGN*** Joi Rebels Reunion
**[01:57] Sak**
Did you forget how uncooperative he
was, always going off on his own,
**[02:00] Sak**
running wild and launching
surprise attacks and whatnot?
***SIGN*** Joi Rebels Reunion
**[02:04] Kat**
I couldn't forget, even if I wanted to.
**[02:06] Kat**
We were the ones who always had to
clean up after his messes, after all.
**[02:09] Sak**
That's right.
**[02:12] Sak**
Takes you back, doesn't it?
**[02:15] Kat**
Yeah, those were the days.
**[02:17] Kat**
Thinking back, it was ten years ago...
***SIGN*** Arriving Late to a Reunion
Makes it Hard to Enter
**[02:20] Kat**
Wait a second!
**[02:29] Kat**
Wait a second!
**[02:31] Sak**
Why not take a trip down memory lane?
**[02:34] Kat**
Don't you get it?
**[02:35] Kat**
The three of us don't
get together very often!
**[02:38] Kat**
It's a rare case!
**[02:39] Kat**
It's a reunion!
**[02:40] Kat**
Shouldn't you be overcome with joy?
**[02:42] Gin**
Like hell I'd feel any of that.
**[02:45] Gin**
I've had enough of seeing your
mugs in the openings and endings.
**[02:48] Gin**
You show up every episode,
even though you're irrelevant.
**[02:51] Gin**
I'm sick of it.
**[02:52] Gin**
Nobody needs any more merch of you morons.
**[02:56] Sak**
You didn't have to say it like that!
**[02:58] Sak**
I may show up in the OPs/EDs,
**[02:59] Sak**
but I don't get any actual screen time at all!
**[03:02] Sak**
I'm getting the "Hoshi Ittetsu
flips the table" treatment,
**[03:04] Sak**
which only happens a handful of
times in the actual episodes!
**[03:10] Gin**
I only came here 'cause you said there
was something important to discuss.
**[03:13] Gin**
I don't have time to waste on you two goofs.
**[03:16] Sak**
Chill out, Kintoki.
**[03:18] Sak**
Drink up.
**[03:20] Gin**
I'm not Kintoki, damn it.
**[03:22] Kat**
There is but one reason I called
all us former comrades here.
**[03:26] Kat**
The anime has successfully
resumed a second time,
**[03:28] Kat**
and it's been released on Blu-ray.
**[03:31] Kat**
There couldn't be a more perfect time.
**[03:33] Gin**
For what?
**[03:35] Kat**
Isn't it high time
**[03:37] Kat**
we started a flashback arc?
**[03:40] Gin**
Is this a scenario meeting?!
**[03:41] Kat**
Don't you think we need fresh
developments now, more than ever?
**[03:45] Gin**
Who are you to be worrying about that?!
**[03:48] Kat**
You must know this, too.
**[03:50] Kat**
Using flashback arcs to give *Jump* anime
second winds is almost standard procedure.
**[03:55] Kat**
Countless series in the past
**[03:58] Kat**
have used flashback arcs as a trigger
**[04:00] Kat**
to move on to even greater
heights of popularity.
**[04:04] Kat**
And when do we want that second wind?
**[04:06] Sak**
W...
**[04:07] Sak**
Was there a mosquito flying around just now?
**[04:09] Gin**
Not "we want it now"?!
**[04:11] Gin**
Also, that's old!
**[04:13] Gin**
Who'd want to watch such an
obviously calculated flashback arc?
**[04:17] Gin**
First of all,
**[04:18] Gin**
nobody cares about the past
or future of you idiots.
**[04:22] Gin**
You've always been idiots,
and you always will be.
**[04:25] Gin**
Besides, I hate looking back on the past.
**[04:28] Gin**
Even in reunions...
**[04:30] Kat**
And dude,
**[04:32] Kat**
I'd always finish my lunch in
the morning self-study period.
**[04:35] Sak**
Oh, man, I remember that!
**[04:37] Sak**
And then, during lunch break,
we'd rob everyone of their side dishes!
**[04:40] Kat**
We did the stupidest things back then!
**[04:45] Gin**
The guys who didn't amount to much in life
**[04:47] Gin**
are always the ones making the most
noise reminiscing about the past.
**[04:51] Gin**
Especially the delinquents!
**[04:52] Sak**
Are you calling me loud?
**[04:55] Sak**
Can you blame me?!
**[04:57] Sak**
The past is the only time I ever get to appear!
**[05:00] Kat**
Stop that, you two.
**[05:03] Kat**
Gintoki, it's because you're always like that
**[05:06] Kat**
that nothing about our past
has been revealed yet.
**[05:09] Kat**
Even if you don't care,
**[05:11] Kat**
and even if the gorilla mangaka
hasn't thought of anything,
**[05:15] Kat**
we will enter a flashback arc today.
**[05:17] Kat**
No, we have to.
**[05:25] Gin**
"It's been a while.
**[05:26] Gin**
Are you doing well?
**[05:28] Gin**
Actually, I'm in Edo right now.
**[05:31] Gin**
If you'd like, why don't we
get the gang back together
**[05:34] Gin**
for a drink or two?"
**[05:37] Kat**
To tell you the truth, we weren't the ones
**[05:40] Kat**
who arranged this mini-reunion of Joi rebels.
**[05:43] Kat**
Our former comrade, the one who
sent that letter, is the organizer.
**[05:49] Gin**
Who is this?
**[05:50] Gin**
I don't remember.
**[05:52] Kat**
So you don't remember him, either.
**[06:00] Kat**
In the Joi war,
**[06:02] Kat**
an era when every man
fought for his country,
**[06:05] Kat**
when every man was a hero,
**[06:09] Kat**
the ones who survived
through sheer devil's luck
**[06:11] Kat**
and left their names in
the history books were...
**[06:17] Kat**
The White Yaksha, Sakata Gintoki.
***SIGN*** The White Yaksha
***SIGN*** Sakata Gintoki
**[06:22] Kat**
The Rampaging Noble, Katsura Kotaro.
***SIGN*** The Rampaging Noble
***SIGN*** Katsura Kotaro
**[06:28] Kat**
The Kiheitai Commander, Takasugi Shinsuke.
***SIGN*** The Kiheitai Commander
***SIGN*** Takasugi Shinsuke
**[06:35] Kat**
The Loud Fellow, Sakamoto Tatsuma.
***SIGN*** The Loud Fellow
***SIGN*** Sakamoto Tatsuma
**[06:38] Sak**
That's weird!
**[06:39] Sak**
One of those is not like the others!
**[06:42] Sak**
These four men would later
**[06:45] Sak**
come to be known as the
"Generation of Miracles."
**[06:48] Gin**
I don't remember ever being called that!
**[06:51] Kat**
However, it was only by luck that our
names were recorded in history.
**[06:56] Kat**
In truth,
**[06:58] Kat**
there was another hero.
**[07:00] Kat**
In our shadows was a man who fought
to keep the battle in our favor,
**[07:05] Kat**
a key figure who assisted
us from behind the scenes.
**[07:10] Kat**
A nameless hero unbeknownst to all.
**[07:16] Kat**
And indeed, the organizer of this reunion:
***SIGN*** Kurokono Tasuke
***SIGN*** The Phantom Fifth Man
**[07:22] Kat**
The Phantom Fifth Man, Kurokono Tasuke.
***SIGN*** Kurokono Tasuke
**[07:26] Gin**
Hold it right there!
**[07:28] Gin**
I've never heard of that guy!
**[07:30] Gin**
Actually, I have, but in another anime!
**[07:33] Kat**
I see.
**[07:34] Kat**
Kurokono Tasuke is a man of legendary status.
**[07:37] Kat**
It wouldn't surprise me if someone
made an anime ripping him off.
***SIGN*** Kurokono Tasuke
**[07:40] Gin**
We're the ones doing the ripping off!
**[07:42] Sak**
Actually, I'm the same as you.
I can't even remember his face.
**[07:46] Sak**
After all, he was a man who worked
exclusively behind the scenes.
**[07:49] Sak**
I retain no impression of
the kind of man he was
**[07:52] Sak**
or the kind of stuff he did.
**[07:53] Sak**
What a guy.
**[07:55] Gin**
What part of that makes him a hero?!
**[07:56] Gin**
If anything, his lack of
presence is what's heroic!
**[07:59] Sak**
But considering he called us to a reunion,
**[08:02] Sak**
we'd better remember something about
him or things will get awkward.
**[08:05] Sak**
As such,
**[08:06] Sak**
let's plunge into a flashback arc before
he shows up and see if we recall anything.
***SIGN*** Joi Rebels Reunion
**[08:11] Gin**
We're entering a flashback just so we have
something to talk about at this reunion?!
**[08:14] Gin**
What kind of setup is that?!
**[08:15] Gin**
Did this guy even exist in the first place?!
**[08:18] Kat**
He did.
**[08:19] Kat**
Kurokono certainly did stand on
the same battlefield as we did.
**[08:24] Kat**
He was a master of assists.
**[08:27] Kat**
Given the way he worked,
**[08:28] Kat**
if we think back to incidents where
we got help at the perfect time,
**[08:33] Kat**
we should be able to remember.
**[08:37] Kat**
Oh?
**[08:38] Kat**
Something's coming to me!
**[08:39] Kat**
I'm starting to remember...
**[08:41] Sak**
Really, Zura?
**[08:43] Kat**
I believe that was...
**[08:46] Kat**
Right, it was at the height of the Joi War.
**[08:53] Kat**
During a match with the powerhouse Joi High,
with the Inter-High victory at stake.
**[08:57] Gin**
No way that's right!
**[08:59] Gin**
Why were you playing basketball?!
**[09:01] Kat**
I wasn't.
**[09:03] Kat**
Back then, I'd ignored the coach's
repeated orders to cut my long hair,
**[09:08] Kat**
and had been benched as punishment.
**[09:10] Gin**
That wasn't my point!
**[09:12] Gin**
I'm asking you when you had
the time to play basketball!
**[09:15] Kat**
Long-haired and powerless, all I could do was
**[09:18] Kat**
cheer my teammates on from the sidelines.
**[09:20] Gin**
Just cut your damn hair!
**[09:21] Gin**
Actually, go fight in the war!
**[09:24] Kat**
I was so powerless, I chilled my
Pokari to the point that it froze,
**[09:29] Kat**
leaving me unable to even quench my thirst.
**[09:32] Gin**
For a benchwarmer, why were you so
enthusiastic about chilling your Pokari?!
**[09:35] Gin**
Thought you were on a picnic?!
**[09:36] Kat**
With my throat parched and
my body and soul worn out,
**[09:40] Kat**
I thought I was done for.
**[09:43] Kat**
But that's when...
**[09:47] (Flashback) Kur**
Want some?
**[09:51] Kat**
The man who, by a misdirection,
**[09:52] Kat**
to assist me with a Pokari perfectly
chilled to a sherbet state...
**[09:59] Kat**
was Kurokono Tasuke.
**[10:01] Gin**
You call that an assist?!
**[10:03] Gin**
I'm willing to overlook the basketball,
**[10:05] Gin**
but at least make him
assist you on the court!
**[10:07] Kat**
That Pokari tasted especially divine.
**[10:10] Gin**
All you did was drink Pokari on the bench!
**[10:13] Gin**
You call that a flashback arc?!
**[10:15] Kat**
No, it wasn't just the Pokari.
**[10:17] Kat**
Like I said, he was a master of assists.
**[10:19] Kat**
I remember him being louder
than others while cheering, too.
**[10:22] Sak**
Louder?
**[10:26] (Flashback) Sak**
Rebound!
**[10:27] (Flashback) Sak**
Nice shot!
**[10:29] Sak**
Zura, that was me.
**[10:31] Kat**
Huh? Is that so?
**[10:33] Gin**
Why were you in the basketball game, too?!
**[10:35] Sak**
Oh, that wasn't during the Joi War.
**[10:39] Sak**
The war had ended and
people were feeling down,
**[10:42] Sak**
so we decided to play basketball
for a change of pace.
**[10:44] Gin**
You guys were doing stupid crap like
that when everything was in tatters?!
**[10:49] Sak**
That aside, I'm pretty sure Kurokono...
**[10:51] Kat**
Did you remember something?
**[10:54] Sak**
Right.
**[10:55] Sak**
It was at the height of the Joi War.
***SIGN*** In Use
**[11:02] Sak**
Back then, I was desperately trying to
remove the aliens from the interior ministry.
**[11:09] Gin**
What kind of Joi War is that?!
**[11:13] Sak**
I was young and stupid.
**[11:15] Sak**
I hadn't realized
**[11:18] Sak**
that starting wars was easy, but
cleaning up the mess was much harder.
**[11:22] Gin**
Hey!
**[11:23] Gin**
Why are you making such a big deal
over the lack of toilet paper?!
**[11:26] Sak**
I'd mouthed off about rebuilding the
country, but I lacked the means to do so.
**[11:31] Sak**
My foolishness had left me in
despair, but that's when...
**[11:35] Sak**
I saw it.
**[11:41] Sak**
It felt like everything had been washed anew.
**[11:44] Gin**
Pokari again?!
**[11:45] Gin**
You've been talking about nothing
but Pokari the entire time!
**[11:48] Gin**
Don't tell me you used that to wash!
**[11:49] Gin**
You used Pokari?!
**[11:51] Sak**
Oh, that's right.
**[11:52] Sak**
While I was in the bathroom,
**[11:56] Sak**
I passed by a man.
**[11:58] Sak**
That must've been...
**[12:00] Gin**
It's just Zura from before!
**[12:03] Sak**
Oh, so that Pokari really was yours?
**[12:06] Kat**
Yeah.
**[12:07] Kat**
I'd drunk too much chilled
Pokari and upset my stomach.
**[12:11] Sak**
Ah. That's one mystery solved.
**[12:14] Gin**
What happened to Kurokono?!
**[12:16] Gin**
Forget about basketball and Pokari!
**[12:17] Gin**
Don't you have any memories of
being saved on the battlefield?!
**[12:20] Kat**
On the battlefield?
**[12:22] Kat**
Oh, there was that one time!
**[12:25] Kat**
Don't you remember it, too?
**[12:27] Kat**
The rearguard battle on Mt. Eiroku!
**[12:32] Kat**
As our forces numbering less than 300 took
on the Bakufu army a thousand strong,
**[12:36] Kat**
we received information that 3,000
Amanto were marching toward our rear.
**[12:40] Kat**
We were left with no option but to retreat,
**[12:43] Kat**
and the unit Gintoki and I were in
**[12:44] Kat**
was chosen as the rearguard
to let the rest of us escape.
**[12:49] Kat**
When we took up that responsibility,
we were prepared to die.
**[12:55] Kat**
I don't remember what happened
after that very clearly.
**[12:58] Kat**
I just cut down the enemies in
front of me as I ran and ran.
**[13:03] Kat**
Next thing I knew, I lay collapsed
in the middle of the forest.
**[13:08] Kat**
Having a parched throat felt strange.
**[13:12] Kat**
Knowing I was breathing felt strange.
**[13:17] Kat**
Shedding tears from my eyes felt strange.
**[13:22] Kat**
But now I understand.
**[13:25] Kat**
I was simply happy.
**[13:28] Kat**
Happy that I'd managed to
survive with my friend.
**[13:33] Kat**
And that
**[13:35] Kat**
Pokari was being sold there.
**[13:37] Gin**
Where did the Pokari come from?!
**[13:39] Gin**
Why is there a Pokari vending
machine on the battlefield?!
**[13:41] Gin**
Did that really happen?!
***SIGN*** Chilled
**[13:45] Gin**
"Damn, what a ripoff,"
**[13:48] Kat**
muttered Gintoki.
**[13:49] Gin**
Muttered, my ass!
**[13:52] Gin**
"I only have 4,000 yen,"
**[13:53] Kat**
muttered Gintoki.
**[13:55] Gin**
This is no time to be buying Pokari!
**[13:56] Gin**
Run away!
**[13:58] Kat**
"I have 10,000. I'll get two
bottles, so gimme that 4,000.
**[14:03] Kat**
You can pay me back the 500 yen later,"
**[14:06] Kat**
I muttered.
**[14:08] Gin**
"But I paid for Yakulk the other day.
**[14:11] Gin**
So 4,000 yen should be enough,"
**[14:13] Kat**
muttered Gintoki.
**[14:16] Kat**
"But Yakulk is 540 yen for a five-pack,
and I only got one of those.
**[14:20] Kat**
540 divided by 5 is 108 yen, and
4,500 minus 108 is 4,392 yen, right?"
**[14:26] Kat**
I muttered.
**[14:28] Gin**
"Does that include tax?"
**[14:30] Kat**
muttered Gintoki.
**[14:31] Gin**
Enough already! This is taking too long!
**[14:34] Kat**
We decided that I'd pay there and Gintoki
would pay me 4,300 yen once we got back,
**[14:41] Kat**
but my condition took a turn for
the worse once we got back to camp.
**[14:45] Gin**
You're still going?!
**[14:45] Gin**
How long is this story?!
**[14:47] Kat**
With my consciousness gradually fading,
I saw the faces of the men I'd protected.
**[14:52] Gin**
Oh, so he'll show up now, right?
**[14:54] Gin**
Kurokono Tasuke's finally
gonna show up, right?!
**[14:56] Kat**
I searched for the words to say to them,
**[15:00] Kat**
but all I could manage was...
**[15:04] (Flashback) Kat**
Gintoki made me pay him 108 yen
for a Yakulk the other day.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Kat**
Did he make you guys pay, too? It wouldn't be
fair if I was the only one who had to pay.
**[15:11] Gin**
Enough about that already!
**[15:14] (Flashback) Sak**
What?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Sak**
He took 540 yen from me.
Did I only owe 108 yen?
**[15:18] Gin**
What the hell are you talking
about in the middle of a war?!
**[15:20] Gin**
What's going on?!
**[15:22] (Flashback) Kat**
You were ripped off, Sakamoto!
**[15:25] (Flashback) Kat**
Damn Gintoki.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Kat**
He said he was treating us, but he
intended to rip us off all along!
**[15:29] Gin**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[15:30] Gin**
I don't remember that at all!
**[15:36] (Flashback) Bo**
You...
**[15:37] Gin**
Oh, I see.
**[15:38] Gin**
So the one who cleared my
good name was Kurokono...
**[15:41] (Flashback) Tak**
As if he'd ever do something like that.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Tak**
I was the one who treated you to Yakulk.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Tak**
He didn't pay for anything.
**[15:49] Gin**
It was you?!
**[15:52] Kat**
There you have it.
**[15:54] Kat**
Gimme back my 4,500 yen.
**[15:56] Sak**
Gimme back my 540 yen.
**[15:58] Gin**
This is the ending you arrived at?!
**[16:00] Gin**
What about Kurokono?!
**[16:01] Bo**
Just pay us back already!
**[16:03] Gin**
Screw you!
**[16:04] Gin**
I told you, I don't remember this!
**[16:06] Gin**
As if *he* would treat anyone to Yakulk, anyway!
**[16:09] Gin**
I'm done with this shitty reunion!
**[16:12] W**
Excuse me, sirs.
**[16:14] W**
Your friend has arrived.
**[16:17] All**
*H-He's here!*
**[16:20] Gin**
*We haven't remembered a thing,*
**[16:22] Gin**
* but Kurokono showed up*
* at the reunion already!*
**[16:25] Gin**
I-I just remembered I had something to do.
**[16:28] Gin**
I'll be back later.
**[16:30] Sak**
Where do you think you're going, Kintoki?
**[16:32] Kat**
We're not letting you get away!
**[16:34] Kat**
The Pokari money...
**[16:35] Sak**
The Yakulk money...
**[16:36] Kat**
Gimme back my 4,500 yen!
**[16:36] Sak**
Gimme back my 540 yen!
**[16:38] Gin**
That's what you're worried about?!
**[16:39] Gin**
Who cares about that right now?!
**[16:41] Gin**
Kurokono's almost here!
**[16:43] Gin**
A really awkward reunion's about to begin!
**[16:46] Kat**
We're not falling for that.
**[16:48] Sak**
This has gone on for ten years.
We're settling the score right now.
**[16:51] Gin**
What kind of pathetic lives have you
guys led for the past ten years?!
**[16:58] Tak**
Talk about a rowdy reunion.
**[17:03] Tak**
Relax.
**[17:05] Tak**
Kurokono's not here yet.
**[17:08] Tak**
For this reunion to begin,
**[17:11] Tak**
and for you to welcome the phantom fifth man,
**[17:15] Tak**
don't you think you're one member short?
**[17:17] Gin**
Y-You're...
**[17:21] Kat**
It can't be!
**[17:22] Tak**
That's right.
**[17:24] Tak**
I'll simply destroy
**[17:28] Hen**
this awkward reunion.
**[17:34] Hen**
Time out! I was kidding!
**[17:36] Hen**
It's just a reunion joke!
**[17:40] Hen**
Spare my shins, 'kay?
**[17:43] Gin**
We stake our lives on our jokes, too.
**[17:46] Gin**
Are you sure?
**[17:47] Gin**
Are you okay with that being
the last joke you ever tell?
**[17:49] Kat**
Wait.
**[17:50] Kat**
If memory serves, you're Takasugi's...
**[17:54] Kat**
No, just a random lolicon—
**[17:55] Hen**
I'm not a lolicon. I'm a feminist.
**[17:59] Hen**
Actually, no.
**[18:01] Hen**
I'm the Kiheitai's strategist,
Takechi Henpeita.
**[18:05] Gin**
Kihentai?! Did Takasugi
send you to spy on us?!
**[18:08] Hen**
I'm not a pervert. I'm a feminist.
**[18:11] Hen**
Please wait.
**[18:12] Hen**
While it's true that you and
Shinsuke-dono are currently enemies,
**[18:16] Hen**
our general is not boorish enough
to ruin a gathering of his
**[18:21] Hen**
former comrades over a personal grudge.
**[18:25] Hen**
I'm merely here to relay a message from him.
**[18:29] Gin**
Don't tell me he got invited
to the reunion, too.
**[18:32] Gin**
Nobody would talk to him even if he came!
**[18:34] Gin**
He'd spend all night on his
phone, and that'd be that!
**[18:37] Hen**
He deeply regrets not being able to attend.
**[18:41] Hen**
After all,
**[18:43] Hen**
Shinsuke-dono and Kurokono-dono
were so close,
**[18:47] Hen**
it wouldn't be an exaggeration
to call them best friends.
**[18:50] Gin**
*R-Really?*
**[18:51] Gin**
*He had a best friend?*
**[18:54] Hen**
Knowing you all, he figured you
wouldn't remember anything,
**[18:58] Hen**
so he entrusted me with a letter.
**[19:01] Gin**
A letter?
**[19:02] Sak**
From him?
**[19:03] Kat**
To us?
**[19:05] Hen**
He hopes that it'll help jog
your memories at least a little.
**[19:10] Gin**
*F-For real?*
**[19:11] Gin**
*So he remembers Kurokono?*
***SIGN*** The Yakulk at this reunion's on me, too. Drink with Shirako all you want.
**[19:16] Tak**
The Yakulk at this reunion's on me, too.
**[19:19] Tak**
Drink with Shirako all you want.
**[19:21] Gin**
Who the hell is Shirako?
**[19:22] Gin**
He got his best friend's name all wrong!
**[19:25] Gin**
Also, is he still holding a
grudge over the Yakulk thing?
**[19:27] Gin**
Did he really write this?!
**[19:31] Hen**
Oops.
**[19:31] Hen**
Sorry, wrong letter.
**[19:34] Gin**
I knew it!
**[19:35] Gin**
Takasugi would never write
something like that!
**[19:37] Hen**
If I recall correctly,
**[19:39] Hen**
he couldn't attend the
Kiheitai's New Year's bash,
**[19:43] Hen**
so he sent this letter along with
tons of Yakulk and shirako roe.
**[19:46] Gin**
So it *was* Takasugi?!
**[19:47] Gin**
Even there, he's buying people Yakulk?!
**[19:49] Gin**
He's become a Yakulk character with that face?!
**[19:51] Gin**
No way!
**[19:53] Hen**
My apologies.
**[19:55] Hen**
There's indeed no way Shinsuke-dono
would write something like this.
**[19:58] Hen**
This is the actual letter.
***SIGN*** There's Yakulk in the fridge. Please save one for me.
**[20:00] Tak**
There's Yakulk in the fridge.
**[20:03] Tak**
Please save one for me.
**[20:06] Gin**
Nothing's changed!
**[20:08] Gin**
Forget Kurokono, he's talking
about nothing but Yakulk now!
**[20:12] Gin**
This is a joke, right?
**[20:12] Gin**
Tell me it's all a joke, Barney!
**[20:15] Hen**
Oops. Wrong letter.
**[20:16] Hen**
I think this is the note he left the Kiheitai
**[20:19] Hen**
when he had to travel
for a few days recently.
**[20:21] Gin**
Deny that Takasugi wrote this!
**[20:23] Gin**
You okay with this? You're okay with
this guy being your general?
**[20:26] Hen**
My apologies. This one really
is the actual letter.
***SIGN*** Rest in peace, my comrade
**[20:32] Tak**
*Rest in peace, my comrade.*
**[20:39] Hen**
I shall take my leave now, then.
**[20:44] Gin**
I-I have no idea what
this is supposed to mean!
**[20:48] Gin**
Pokari and
**[20:50] Gin**
"rest in peace"?
**[20:52] Gin**
What does it *mean*?!
**[20:54] Gin**
All he's done is make
things more complicated!
**[20:57] Gin**
Would he give it a rest with his
pretentious bullshit already?!
**[21:01] Sak**
Wait, Kintoki.
**[21:05] Sak**
This Pokari...
**[21:08] Sak**
I... I see.
**[21:10] Sak**
Whenever Zura and I tried
to remember Kurokono,
**[21:15] Sak**
we kept getting distracted by Pokari, but...
**[21:19] Kat**
We weren't on the wrong track!
**[21:22] Kat**
Our past with Kurokono really was linked...
**[21:27] Bo**
...to this Pokari.
**[21:29] Gin**
What're you talking about?
**[21:32] Gin**
Don't tell me, you remembered everything?
**[21:35] Gin**
Thanks to this Pokari?
**[21:37] Gin**
You've gotta be kidding me.
**[21:38] Gin**
How could this...
