[00:20] A
    Tokugawa Shigeshige-sama, the shogun,
SIGN    The Shogun
    Lord Tokugawa Shigeshige Still Missing
[00:23] A
    has been missing since last week,
[00:25] A
    and now it has come to light
    that he'd been taking walks,
[00:28] A
    incognito, outside the castle.

    The man said to have acted as his guide,
    Commissioner-General Matsudaira Katakuriko,
[00:34] A
    has categorically denied any
    involvement in this case.
SIGN    Caution: Cameras Flashing
SIGN    Unemployed Suspect Sakata Gintoki
[00:37] A
    He maintains that it was all
    the doing of Sakata Gintoki,
[00:42] A
    who's being held on charges
    of obstruction of justice.
[00:43] J
    G-Good lord.
[00:45] J
    I never thought Gintoki-dono would...
[00:46] J
    That's the legendary Joi Rebel who used
    to be feared as the White Yaksha for you!
[00:50] J
    I had no idea his patriotic
    flame still burned so brightly!
[00:56] Zu
    He is truly the personification
    of a lamp in broad daylight.
[00:59] J
    Katsura-san!
[01:00] Zu
    In a world illuminated by sunlight,
[01:02] Zu
    his light is but a garbage fire that
    does nothing but flicker pointlessly.
[01:07] Zu
    But when dark clouds shroud
    the land and shadows loom,
[01:11] Zu
    it becomes a great bonfire
    that chases away the darkness!
[01:15] Zu
    Tonight we celebrate!
[01:16] Zu
    We shall throw a party to mark the
    White Yaksha's triumphant return!
[01:19] J
    But Katsura-san,
[01:20] J
    Gintoki-dono's been taken
    captive by the enemy.
[01:25] Zu
    Just who do you think he is?
[01:27] Zu
    Faced with that reawakened demon,
    iron bars may as well be Bretz.
[01:31] Zu
    The salad flavored ones.
[01:32] Zu
    Hurry up and get everything
    ready before he comes back.
[01:36] All
    Yes, sir!
[01:41] Zu
    But I have to say, Elizabeth,
[01:43] Zu
    having the enemy commander,
    who I wanted to overthrow for years,
[01:46] Zu
    be taken out so easily by someone else
[01:48] Zu
    does leave a sour taste in the mouth.
SIGN    We don't know for sure that the shogun's dead yet...
[01:53] Zu
    Nonsense.
[01:55] Zu
    Are you suggesting that he
    would let his prey slip away?
SIGN    Welcome Back, White Yaksha
[01:59] Zu
    Having lost their commander, the bakufu
    must be in disarray right about now.
[02:03] Zu
    Now is the time to create a brand new world!
[02:06] Zu
    We must stay on our toes.
[02:08] Zu
    Right, Sho-chan?
[02:09] Sho
    Indeed, Katsura-san.
SIGN    Being a Leader Is Tough
[03:49] J
    Uh, Katsura-san.
SIGN    Sho-chan's request: You must watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV
[03:51] J
    Who is he?
[03:52] Zu
    Sho-chan, obviously.
[03:53] J
    That's not what I meant.
[03:55] J
    He was asking who this Sho-chan is.
[03:57] Zu
    Oh, I haven't introduced you yet.
[04:00] Zu
    This is Sho-chan.
[04:01] Sho
    I'm Sho-chan. Pleased to meet you.
[04:02] J
    The conversation hasn't
    made any progress at all!
[04:05] Zu
    I helped him after finding him
     lying on the street the other day.
[04:09] Zu
    But he'd lost his memories
    from hitting his head.
[04:13] Zu
    He didn't have anywhere to go,
[04:15] Zu
    so I asked him if he wanted
    to topple the nation with us.
[04:20] Zu
    Doesn't the aura of dignity about him
    make you feel he's no ordinary man?
[04:23] Zu
    He surely has what it takes to
    one day stand at the forefront
[04:27] Zu
    of us Joi Rebels as the great general
    who will crush the bakufu.
SIGN    Show the way, Sho-chan.
[04:30] Zu
    As such, I have taken
    to calling him Sho-chan.
[04:33] J
    I don't know about "one day," Katsura-san.
SIGN    The Shogun
    Lord Tokugawa Shigeshige Still Missing
[04:37] J
    Isn't he already a leader of men?
[04:41] Zu
    Ah, so you guys also sense the ambition he has
[04:44] Zu
    that makes you want to prostate yourself
    before him despite him being a newcomer.
[04:47] J
    That's not what I meant...
[04:50] J
    Isn't he a spitting image
    of a certain somebody?
[04:53] Zu
    Ah, so you guys also noticed
[04:56] Zu
    that in this anime,
[04:57] Zu
    wearing a top knot wig makes almost
    every character look the same.
[05:01] J
    That's not it, either!
[05:03] Zu
    Anyway, he'll surely become an incredible
    Joi Rebel who'll change the world one day.
[05:08] Zu
    Until that day comes, I'd like
    you all to give him your support.
[05:12] Zu
    I'm counting on you.
[05:14] J
    Man, this is bad.
[05:16] J
    That's definitely the missing shogun.
[05:19] J
    At this rate, we'll end up
    rebelling with the shogun!
[05:22] J
    That'd be so awkward!
    And bad in so many ways!
[05:24] J
    For both the shogun and us!
[05:28] Zu
    Listen, Sho-chan.
[05:30] Zu
    You're a natural-born leader of men.
[05:35] Zu
    I'd love for you to polish those talents
[05:37] Zu
    and support the men as our second leader.
[05:41] Zu
    To that end, I'll teach you all the
    leadership skills I've learned.
[05:46] J
    Hey. He's saying he'll teach the
    leader of a nation leadership skills.
[05:48] J
    Somebody stop him!
[05:49] J
    Not happening. He's totally into it.
[05:51] J
    He won't listen to anyone when he's like that.
[05:54] Zu
    First off,
[05:56] Zu
    a leader must stay cool at all times.
[05:59] Zu
    As such,
[06:01] Zu
    to develop the composure needed to run an
    organization with a cool head at all times,
[06:05] Zu
    you will now play Jenga with me.
[06:07] J
    What does that have to do
    with running an organization?
[06:10] Zu
    What you need to be a leader is the same
    thing you need in Jenga: a sense of balance.
[06:14] Zu
    You have to weed out your
    useless subordinates,
[06:17] Zu
    but also make sure things
    don't come tumbling down
[06:19] Zu
    by buying them a canned coffee on
    the rooftop and consoling them.
[06:23] Zu
    Remember that, and you can keep
    the organization running smoothly.
[06:25] J
    That's the theory he was running us with?!
[06:28] Zu
    But that is not enough.
[06:31] Zu
    While we're playing Jenga,
[06:33] Zu
    Elizabeth will throw balls at us.
[06:36] Zu
    And from behind us, the teacher
    in black will repeat...
[06:39] TIB
    You fool!
[06:41] Zu
    Over and over.
[06:42] TIB
    You fool!
[06:43] Zu
    How you keep a cool head
    in this annoying situation
[06:43] TIB
    You fool!
[06:45] TIB
    You fool!
[06:46] Zu
    and keep the Jenga from
    falling is what's important.
[06:47] TIB
    You fool!
[06:49] TIB
    You fool!
[06:49] J
    Your idea's already far from cool!
[06:50] TIB
    You fool!
[06:51] Zu
    Let's begin. I'll go first.
[06:52] TIB
    You fool!
[06:54] TIB
    You fool!
[06:54] Zu
    Behold how cool a true leader is!
[06:56] TIB
    You fool!
[06:58] J
    He's coolly targeting the
    organization right off the bat!
[07:01] J
    He's the coolest one here!
[07:03] J
    Of course he is!
[07:05] Zu
    I see. We're starting from scratch, are we?
[07:08] Zu
    But this isn't enough
    to throw me off my game.
[07:10] J
    Hey, he's not getting angry.
[07:12] J
    He's staying cool even though
    the organization crumbled.
[07:14] Zu
    A leader fights not
[07:16] Zu
    against swords closing in to strike him,
[07:18] Zu
    or balls thrown at him...
[07:22] TIB
    You fool!
[07:23] Zu
    I'm not a fool! I'm Katsura!
[07:25] J
    That's what a leader fights against?!
[07:27] Zu
    Did you seriously think that would catch on?!
[07:30] Zu
    In your dreams!
[07:31] J
    He's lost his composure
    on the very first move!
[07:33] J
    He's forgotten all about the organization!
[07:35] Sho
    It's my turn.
[07:38] Sho
    I have to turn this crisis into an opportunity?
[07:42] Sho
    That being the case,
[07:44] Sho
    I'll do this.
[07:45] J
    Is that how Jenga rules work?!
[07:47] J
    Isn't that dominoes?
[07:48] J
    The one where you make the organization
    fall one piece after another in the end?!
[07:52] Zu
    Oh? Instead of building a hierarchy,
    you expanded your organization laterally?
[07:55] Zu
    You mean to throw out the leadership system
    and base your organization on equality?
[07:59] J
    Talk about reading too much into it!
[08:01] Zu
    But without a man to stand
    atop it and give it direction,
[08:05] Zu
    an organization will lose its way.
[08:07] Zu
    Even if he must use the corpses
    of his men as stepping stones,
[08:10] Zu
    a leader must always stay standing
[08:12] Zu
    and keep the organi—
[08:14] J
    Never mind keeping it safe,
    the leader destroyed the organization!
[08:20] J
    It stopped?
[08:22] Sho
    I never intended to do away
    with the leadership system.
[08:25] Sho
    But if a leader is too
    fixated on staying on top,
[08:27] Sho
    then the greater the heights
    an organization reaches,
[08:30] Sho
    the more he'll grow out of touch
    with his subordinate's feelings.
[08:33] Sho
    That said, if everyone is equal,
    they'll all fall together.
[08:36] Sho
    So I want to support the
    organization as its foundation.
[08:44] J
    Katsura-san!
[08:46] J
    Oh, no! He lost!
[08:49] J
    He said he'd teach him leadership skills,
    but ended up getting taught a lesson!
[08:57] Zu
    W-Well, that's a valid viewpoint.
[09:00] Zu
    We're both right, or, well,
[09:02] Zu
    there's more than one right answer.
[09:04] Zu
    Trying to pick a winner in this kind
    of thing is nonsensical to begin with.
[09:08] TIB
    You fool!
[09:09] Zu
    Shut the hell up!
[09:11] J
    He's gone berserk!
[09:12] J
    Who was it that said all that
    about cool heads earlier?
[09:16] Zu
    Well, I knew from the start that you had
    that degree of leadership skill in you.
[09:22] Zu
    But this is where it gets tough, Sho-chan.
[09:24] Zu
    Number two: a leader must never
    show his weaknesses to others.
[09:29] Zu
    He must always lead his men by example
    and portray the perfect image.
[09:33] Zu
    As such,
[09:35] Zu
    in order to develop the toughness
[09:36] Zu
    needed to hide your weakness
    and portray a perfect self,
[09:39] Zu
    you'll now play Reversi with me.
[09:41] J
    Seriously, why another game?!
[09:42] Zu
    These Reversi pieces have
    insults written on them.
SIGN    Tighty Whities
SIGN    Long hair is kinda suffocating
SIGN    Stubborn
SIGN    Looks like an extra
[09:46] Zu
    The whites have you insulting me,
[09:48] Zu
    and the blacks have me insulting you.
[09:50] Zu
    If you don't want to show any weaknesses,
[09:52] Zu
    you must flip as many of the
    opponent's pieces as possible.
[09:54] J
    What the hell will that develop?
[09:56] J
    This stupid game will only degrade you two!
[09:59] Zu
    You think you can expose
    Leader Katsura's weaknesses?
[10:03] Zu
    Let's see you try!
[10:05] Zu
    Here we go!
SIGN    Too serious
SIGN    Tighty Whities Had nose hair Farted the other day
SIGN    Stubborn
SIGN    Looks like an extra
SIGN    Bad morning breath
[10:11] Zu
    What's wrong?
[10:12] Zu
    Your weaknesses keep getting exposed!
[10:15] J
    If anything, your awful personality
    is what's getting exposed!
[10:18] J
    Come on.
[10:20] J
    I'll take the corner.
    I'm gonna go for the corner.
[10:23] J
    Are you okay with that?
    Shouldn't you flip that piece?
[10:26] J
    He's revealing his weaknesses for all to see!
[10:30] Zu
    I guess this game's over.
[10:33] J
    It's all black!
[10:34] J
    I never knew game boards and
    people could turn so black!
[10:37] Sho
    You got me. I have lost.
[10:40] Zu
    Too bad, Sho-chan.
[10:42] Zu
    You did your best,
[10:43] Zu
    but this shows the difference in
    leadership experience between us.
[10:46] Sho
    Yes, you are right.
[10:49] Sho
    Actually, I wanted to write
    more insults about you,
[10:53] Sho
    but I couldn't find many weaknesses
    in a perfect leader like yourself.
[10:57] Sho
    So I painted the white sides black
    and wrote my own faults on them.
[11:04] Sho
    But that served as a valuable
    opportunity to face my shortcomings.
[11:10] Sho
    Be it to hide your weaknesses or overcome them,
[11:14] Sho
    you must face up to them first.
[11:18] J
    Katsura-san!
[11:20] J
    He won the battle, but lost at humanity!
[11:22] J
    Our leader's lost two in a row!
[11:24] J
    Forget teaching, he keeps
    getting schooled instead!
[11:26] J
    And the shogun's got game!
[11:28] J
    He may have amnesia, but he
    hasn't lost any of his nobility!
[11:32] J
    Hey, maybe the shogun isn't as bad
    a guy as we made him out to be.
[11:37] J
    He might even be a better leader than our—
[11:39] J
    Dumbass!
[11:44] Zu
    You're good, Sho-chan.
[11:46] Zu
    I didn't expect you to be this capable.
[11:49] Zu
    Indeed, recognizing your own weakness
    is also a form of strength.
[11:54] TIB
    You fool!
[11:55] Zu
    That's right! I'm a fool!
[11:59] Zu
    And now for the third and final lesson!
[12:02] Zu
    A leader must use any means possible
    to lead his organization to victory.
[12:06] Zu
    As such, you'll play Uno with me!
[12:09] Zu
    Because I'm good at Uno!
[12:11] J
    So much for teaching him!
[12:16] Sho
    Draw four.
[12:16] J
    He lost just like that!
[12:20] J
    Shogun!
[12:22] J
    You're amazing!
[12:24] J
    Your past and your position
    don't matter anymore!
[12:26] J
    You're a true leader of men!
[12:30] J
    Just like you, we'll cast aside our past!
[12:32] J
    So please show us the way!
[12:35] J
    With you, I'm sure we
    can change this country!
[12:38] Sho
    But Katsura-san...
[12:39] J
    Forget about him.
[12:41] J
    He needs some time to cool off.
[12:49] Zu
    Elizabe—
SIGN    You fool!!
SIGN    Welcome Back, White Yaksha
[13:01] Zu
    Listen up, men!
[13:03] Zu
    Several days have passed since our comrade, Sakata Gintoki, took the shogun's head.
[13:08] Zu
    But he hasn't returned yet.
[13:11] Zu
    I thought he'd be able to break
    out of the bakufu's prison easily,
[13:16] Zu
    but he must've run into some
    unforeseen complications.
[13:18] Zu
    As such,
[13:19] Zu
    to save Gintoki, who's being imprisoned in
    Edo Castle for grave crimes against the nation,
[13:24] Zu
    I, Katsura Kotaro, have made
    up my mind to storm the castle!
[13:31] Zu
    I realize it's a terribly dangerous thing to do.
[13:36] Zu
    But I cannot sit by and watch a comrade die.
[13:41] Zu
    So please don't stop me.
[13:43] Zu
    And don't try to come along.
[13:47] Zu
    I'll only say it one more time:
[13:49] Zu
    don't try to come along.
[13:52] Zu
    I'll only say—
[13:53] J
    Uh, sorry, but you're distracting us from
    the game, so could you keep it down?
SIGN    Where are you going, Katsura-san?
SIGN    How awful of you to try to leave without saying anything. Haven't you forgotten something?
[14:14] Zu
    Elizabeth!
SIGN    If you're going out, return this DVD for me.
SIGN    Joshima Wants to Quit Being the Leader
SIGN    Quit acting like you're a leader already, damn errand boy.
[14:24] Zu
    I'm not Joshima! I'm Katsura!
[14:27] Zu
    Fine! I'll quit being leader!
[14:29] Zu
    There's nothing good about
    being a leader, anyway!
[14:32] Zu
    Nobody listens to Leader anymore!
[14:35] Zu
    Matsuoka's totally looking down on him!
[14:39] Zu
    Everyone else is appearing
    in dramas and variety shows,
[14:41] Zu
    so poor Leader only gets
    to work on Dash Island!
[14:43] Zu
    How about we quit being Joi Rebels
    and form a new unit called OED?
[14:48] Gin
    I don't recall ever being a Joi Rebel.
[14:52] Gin
    Where do you think you're
    whining and wailing?
[14:54] Gin
    Did you come to save me or annoy me?
[14:57] Zu
    I came to have you save me.
[14:59] Gin
    You want help from a guy
    who's stuck in hell?
[15:02] Gin
    Open this door already!
[15:03] Gin
    You and I are only in this predicament
    because you took the shogun home with you!
[15:08] Zu
    He's not the shogun. He's Sho-chan.
[15:10] Gin
    Oh, for crying out loud!
[15:12] Gin
    Anyway, bring that Sho-chan guy back here.
[15:15] Gin
    That way, I'll be cleared of all charges,
[15:16] Gin
    and you can go back to being leader.
[15:18] G
    What are you doing there?
[15:23] G
    An intruder!
[15:24] Zu
    Crap!
[15:29] Sho
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
[15:31] Sho
    Katsura-san.
[15:33] Sho
    I came because I was worried about you.
[15:35] Sho
    Are you two all right?
[15:36] Gin
    The shogun's here to raid his own home!
[15:40] Sho
    All right. I've secured Katsura-san.
[15:43] Sho
    As planned, Squads 1 and 2
    will head to the main gate.
[15:45] Sho
    Keep the enemy distracted.
[15:47] Sho
    Squads 3 and 4, secure an
    escape route out back.
[15:50] Sho
    Squad 5 is to act as a commando
    unit and provide support.
[15:52] All
    Yes, sir!
[15:53] Gin
    He's handling them perfectly!
[15:54] Gin
    He's controlling them like they
    were his own arms and legs!
[15:57] Sho
    Don't die on me.
[15:58] All
    You too, Sho-chan!
[15:59] Gin
    He seems to be more into
    it than when he was shogun!
[16:04] Gin
    Calm down, Sho-chan!
[16:05] Gin
    You don't need to go that far!
[16:07] Gin
    Don't do anything stupid!
[16:09] Gin
    Stop causing a ruckus!
[16:11] Gin
    This is your home, you know!
[16:12] Sho
    The battlefield is indeed a soldier's home.
[16:15] Sho
    A fine mentality, Gintoki-san.
[16:17] Gin
    That's not what I meant!
[16:19] Gin
    You're not meant to be fooling
    around with these morons!
[16:22] Gin
    You could save us from this
    predicament with just one word!
[16:25] Gin
    Understand?!
[16:26] Sho
    You want me to crush this rotten state
[16:29] Sho
    and save the people as its new ruler?
[16:31] Gin
    Want me to crush that rotten
    head of yours first?!
[16:34] Sho
    I understand.
[16:35] Sho
    I have already decided to inherit
    your and Katsura-san's spirit.
[16:39] Gin
    No! You don't understand a thing!
[16:40] Zu
    Forget it, Gintoki.
[16:42] Zu
    Don't waste your breath.
[16:43] Zu
    It would be quicker to
    just go see the princess.
[16:46] Gin
    Right!
[16:47] Gin
    Princess Soyo might figure something out.
[16:50] Zu
    That's not what I'm talking about.
[16:53] Zu
    How about we decide who'll be leader by
    seeing who can take the princess's head first?
[16:57] Zu
    Where did that come from?!
[16:59] Sho
    I see.
[17:00] Sho
    That would be a massive blow to the
    bakufu. It'd make them lose all face.
[17:03] Gin
    Look, that'd be more like
    covering your own face in shit!
[17:06] Zu
    This is your final exam, Sho-chan.
[17:09] Zu
    Show me your potential as a leader!
[17:13] Zu
    Ready...
[17:14] Zu
    Fire!
[17:15] Gin
    Wait!
[17:16] Gin
    Somebody stop them!
[17:18] Gin
    Stop those two morons!
[17:25] G
    Hey! Look over there!
[17:26] G
    We have intruders!
[17:28] G
    Intruders have made it inside the castle!
[17:30] Gin
    Wait!
[17:31] Gin
    You mustn't attack!
[17:32] Gin
    That's Sho-chan!
[17:34] Gin
    Look out!
[17:36] Zu
    Rules of Leadership, #1:
[17:38] Zu
    a leader must stay
[17:43] Zu
    cool at all times.
[17:46] Zu
    No matter what kind of predicament
    he finds himself in,
[17:48] Zu
    he must calmly put his mind to work
    and keep his organization safe.
[17:53] Sho
    K-Katsura-san...
[17:54] Zu
    What are you panicking for?
[17:57] Zu
    You're one of us.
[17:58] Zu
    Isn't it natural for a
    leader to protect his men?
[18:01] Zu
    A leader must stay cool at all times.
[18:03] Zu
    Right?
[18:05] Sho
    Yeah. That's right.
[18:11] Sho
    All right. Shall we go?
[18:13] Gin
    Forget protecting him, you gave him
    a deeper wound than arrows ever could!
[18:16] Zu
    I-Impossible! How can he
    remain cool in that state?
[18:19] Zu
    What a man!
[18:21] Gin
    No, he stopped being cool the moment
    he got a tail sticking out of his ass!
[18:23] Zu
    Damn it! I won't be outdone!
[18:26] Zu
    Rules of Leadership, #2:
[18:27] Zu
    a leader must never show
    his weaknesses to others.
[18:30] Zu
    He must keep them hidden at all times
[18:33] Zu
    and always conduct himself with dignity!
[18:37] Gin
    It's not just his weaknesses!
[18:38] Gin
    His love, heartache, and resilience
    have all been exposed!
[18:45] W
    A pervert!
[18:47] Gin
    He's not even a Joi Rebel
    anymore, let alone the shogun!
[18:50] Zu
    I-Impossible!
[18:51] Zu
    By laying everything bare, he abandoned
    the very idea of strength?!
[18:56] Zu
    I never knew a leader could be like that!
[18:59] Gin
    Wasn't most of that your doing?
[19:01] Zu
    You are, without doubt, the real deal.
[19:05] Zu
    Which of us is
[19:06] Zu
    better suited to being a true leader
    who'll create a brand new world...
[19:09] Zu
    Let us settle it once and for all.
[19:13] Zu
    Ready...
[19:14] Zu
    Fire!
[19:15] Gin
    Hold it!
[19:16] Gin
    Everything's been settled already!
[19:17] Gin
    Neither of you is cut out to be a leader!
[19:19] Zu
    The princess's head is mine!
[19:24] Gin
    Th-This is...
[19:28] Zu
    Looks like you figured it out.
[19:32] Sho
    Didn't you teach me yourself?
[19:34] Sho
    Rules of Leadership, #3:
[19:37] Sho
    a leader must use any means possible
    to lead his organization to victory.
[19:44] Sho
    Unfortunately, it seems this little
    game of deception has ended in a draw.
[19:48] Gin
    H-Hey!
[19:49] Gin
    Don't tell me...
[19:50] Gin
    You had both already figured
    out who the other was,
[19:54] Gin
    and were putting on an act
    to get close to your enemy?
[19:58] Sho
    The act hasn't ended yet.
[20:00] Sho
    Say, Katsura.
[20:02] Sho
    If you actually wanted my head,
    you had plenty of chances to take it.
[20:07] Zu
    Right back at you, Lord Shigeshige.
[20:10] Zu
    You can't possibly tell me the shogun's
    residence is always this lightly guarded.
[20:14] Sho
    We each could have had the other's
    head anytime we wanted.
[20:19] Sho
    But where is the fun in that?
[20:22] Sho
    I wanted to see what the
    enemy commander was like
[20:25] Sho
    while he still had his head on his shoulders.
[20:29] Sho
    What did you think of the enemy commander?
[20:31] Zu
    Truly stupid.
[20:34] Zu
    There was no need to check him out at all.
[20:36] Zu
    Be it in the bakufu or the Joi Rebels,
[20:39] Zu
    leaders are the same wherever you go.
[20:42] Zu
    They all have wrinkled brows.
[20:55] Sho
    Katsura.
[20:58] Sho
    The next time we meet,
[21:00] Sho
    one of us will be dead, but...
[21:02] Zu
    ...the one still alive will
    create the brand new world.
[21:06] Zu
    No objections here.
[21:07] Zu
    Let us go, Elizabeth.
[21:09] Zu
    While security is still light, thankfully.
[21:12] So
    Um, excuse me.
[21:14] So
    Could you keep it down?
[21:17] So
    My friend's staying over and she
    only just fell asleep at long last.
[21:20] Gin
    Sorry about that.
[21:22] Gin
    Er, Shogun-sama, I'm also
    free to leave, right?
[21:25] Sho
    Right. Forgive me.
[21:26] Sho
    I have caused you a lot of trouble.
[21:28] Gin
    Don't worry about it.
[21:29] Gin
    Just buy me dinner sometime
    and we'll call it even.
[21:32] Gin
    Or just money would do.
[21:34] Gin
    Get your ass moving, Zura.
[21:37] Gin
    You should be grateful you're still alive.
[21:39] Zu
    Let go of me!
[21:44] Kag
    Didn't she tell you to keep it down?
[21:46] Zu
    Huh? L-Leader?
[21:49] Gin
    What are you doing here?
[21:50] Kag
    Shut up with the leader nonsense already!
[22:07] Kag
    Now I can finally sleep well.
[22:12] So
    I guess you really are
    the leader, Kagura-chan.
