[00:00] Gen
    Immediately after the accident,
[00:02] Gen
    the Fully Automatic Egg-on-Rice
    Maker malfunctioned,
[00:05] Gen
    extracting your egos instead of the yolks,
[00:09] Gen
    and instead of putting them on steamed rice,
[00:12] Gen
    put them in each other's smashed bodies.
[00:16] Gen
    It made, not egg-on-rice,
SIGN    Egg-on-Rice
SIGN    Ego-in-the-Wrong-Device
[00:19] Gen
    but ego-in-the-wrong-device.
[00:24] Hij
    That wasn't funny, you shitty geezer!
[00:26] Gin
    Give them back! Give our bodies back!
[00:29] Ta
    You two needn't worry.
[00:31] Ta
    Now that it's been repaired,
[00:32] Ta
    if we use this Fully Automatic
    Egg-on-Rice Maker V4 once again,
[00:36] Ta
    you'll go back to normal.
[00:38] Gen
    Precisely!
[00:40] Gen
    This time, for sure, it will
    make the perfect egg-on-rice.
[00:44] Gin
    Forget about egg-on-rice already!
[00:47] Gen
    Basically, we just need to
    extract your egos again
[00:51] Gen
    and warp them, right?
[00:52] Hij
    Hey! Is this gonna work?
    Is this really gonna work?!
[00:56] Tam
    Gengai-sama, we're all set.
[00:59] Gen
    All right. Here we go.
[01:01] Gen
    Brace yourselves!
SIGN    I'm a Failure as a Leader,
    and He's Also a Failure as a Leader
SIGN    When using the Fully Automatic Egg-on-Rice Maker,
    please do so in a bright room and watch from a safe distance.
[02:55] Gen
    How's it look?
[02:56] Ta
    Confirmed warp readings
    from both transfer devices.
[03:00] Gen
    So it worked, huh?
[03:03] Ta
    Gintoki-sama, Hijikata-san, we did it.
[03:06] Ta
    The egos extracted from you
    came together to create this.
[03:10] Ta
    It's neither cat food nor dog food.
[03:14] Ta
    It's trash.
[03:15] Bo
    Are you kidding me?!
[03:18] Gin
    All you did was warp red
    bean paste and mayonnaise!
[03:20] Hij
    Who asked you to put our egos
    on top of steamed rice?!
[03:24] Ta
    You could say it's ego-on-rice.
SIGN    Ego-on-Rice
[03:28] Gin
    That's not funny, damn it!
    And nothing's changed!
[03:31] Gen
    Huh? That's weird.
[03:33] Gen
    Why don't we give it another shot?
[03:36] Hij
    I'm counting on you guys.
[03:38] Hij
    Don't extract what's in our stomachs. Extract us!
[03:47] Ta
    Good. It worked this time.
[03:50] Ta
    Freshly extracted from you two,
[03:54] Ta
    it's gnads-on-rice.
[03:55] Hij
    What part of us are you even extracting from?!
[03:57] Hij
    What have you done?!
[03:59] Hij
    My manhood!
[04:00] Gin
    Which ones are mine?
[04:02] Gin
    This one? Is it this one?
[04:04] Hij
    Wait, that's mine!
[04:06] Gin
    Nah. You're me right now,
    so yours are not mine!
[04:10] Gin
    Huh? Now I'm confused.
[04:13] Hij
    How are you going to fix this?
[04:14] Hij
    It's become some kind of
    super-complicated puzzle!
[04:17] Gen
    Don't worry.
[04:18] Gen
    One more try, and everything
    will go back to normal.
[04:21] Gin
    It'd better!
[04:23] Gin
    Take them from the right place this time.
[04:25] Gin
    And you'd better put them
    back in the right place!
[04:30] Ta
    It worked this time.
[04:34] Ta
    It's genuine trash.
[04:35] Hij
    Why would you put them in that?!
[04:37] Gen
    What's the meaning of this?
[04:39] Gen
    Why won't it work?
[04:41] Ta
    Gengai-sama.
[04:43] Ta
    Transfer device A is showing an error.
[04:46] Ta
    There was a critical deficiency in the target.
[04:48] Ta
    Apparently that's why the extraction failed.
[04:51] Gen
    Ginnoji,
[04:52] Gen
    it looks like you're missing something.
[04:55] Hij
    What are you talking about?
[04:56] Ta
    Please calm down.
[04:58] Ta
    For now,
[04:59] Ta
    hold this Buferin and give it another shot.
[05:02] Hij
    Was it kindness?
[05:03] Hij
    Was I missing half my kindness?
[05:05] Gin
    Are you stupid?
[05:06] Gin
    As if that'd be enough to fix it.
[05:09] Gin
    Take another ten with you.
[05:10] Hij
    Wouldn't it be faster to just
    transfer the Buferin instead?
[05:12] Gen
    If we don't figure it out,
    the device won't function.
[05:16] Gen
    Do you seriously not have any idea at all?
[05:18] Gen
    Did anything happen to you
    at the time of the accident?
[05:22] Hij
    At the time of the accident?
[05:35] Hij
    The cat's asshole!
[05:38] Gin
    Hey, wait!
[05:39] Gin
    What do you mean?
[05:40] Hij
    Basically,
[05:42] Hij
    the fragment of the fur ball that got
    sucked into the cat's asshole back then
[05:46] Hij
    was one half of my ego!
[05:48] Hij
    Unless I get it back and return to my
    whole self, we can't use that device!
[05:55] Gin
    You've gotta be kidding me.
[05:56] Gin
    That corpse must've been cleaned up long ago!
[06:00] Hij
    No, that's not it.
[06:04] Hij
    What if my soul made that
    corpse come back to life?
[06:12] Gin
    You look over there!
[06:13] Gin
    I'll check this way!
[06:15] Hij
    This has turned into a complete mess!
[06:17] Kat
    Well, well.
[06:19] Kat
    What a place for an unexpected
    run-in with a celebrity.
[06:23] Kat
    If it isn't the Shinsengumi's
    demonic vice chief,
[06:25] Kat
    Hijikata Toshiro-dono.
[06:29] Gin
    Zura!
[06:30] Gin
    This really sucks! I ran into the last*
    person I wanted to meet in this form!
[06:35] Kat
    It's a bit careless to patrol all
    by yourself, don't you think?
[06:40] Kat
    I mean, this area is a Joi Rebel hangout.
[06:42] Kat
    There must be lots of people here
    who'd love to take your head.
[06:46] Hij
    Huh? Sorry, but I don't have
    time for you guys right now.
[06:49] Hij
    Step aside. I'll let you go this time, Zu—
[06:53] Hij
    Katsura.
[06:55] Kat
    What have we here?
[06:56] Kat
    Is the Shinsengumi vice chief
[06:58] Kat
    really going to ignore the
    presence of so many enemies?
[07:02] Kat
    Please don't disappoint me.
[07:05] Kat
    You're a policeman. Maintaining Edo's order
[07:09] Kat
    is your duty, is it not?
[07:11] Hij
    Wait, Zura—
[07:19] Kat
    Sheesh. Which one of us is
    actually defending Edo here?
[07:24] Hij
    Zura?
[07:26] Kat
    I'm not Zura!
[07:28] Kat
    I'm the captain of Odd Jobs Squad Three,
SIGN    Captain of Odd Jobs Squad Three
    Katsura Kotaro
[07:31] Kat
    Katsura Kotaro!
[07:34] Kat
    Joi Rebels, who disturb Edo's peace,
SIGN    Slay
[07:38] Kat
    are evils that must be slain immediately.
SIGN    Evil
SIGN    Immediately
[07:40] Kat
    I shall adhere to the Odd Jobs Code
    and bring judgment down upon them!
[07:45] Gin
    Uh, you're a Joi Rebel yourself!
[07:48] Gin
    Why are you in Odd Jobs now?
[07:50] Gin
    Why are you using the Gatotsu, too?!
[07:52] Kat
    I'm not the man I used to be.
[07:55] Kat
    When Gintoki turned over a new leaf and
    gained the resolve to discipline himself,
[07:59] Kat
    I decided to walk alongside him!
[08:01] Gin
    Uh, the guy next to you is the one you were
    trading Gatotsus with until yesterday!
[08:07] Kat
    Hijikata-dono.
[08:08] Kat
    You had Joi Rebels in front of you,
    and yet you tried to flee.
[08:11] Kat
    How can you call yourself a warrior?
[08:12] Kat
    Prepare yourself!
[08:14] Kat
    You may be a cop,
[08:15] Kat
    but you're no exception to our
    "slay evil immediately" law!
[08:19] Mad
    Hold it, Third Squad Captain.
[08:22] Mad
    This isn't the time to be messing with small fry.
[08:26] Mad
    We received word from one of our informants.
[08:28] Mad
    There's been an incident on Fourth.
[08:30] Mad
    We are to head there immediately.
[08:32] Mad
    They've even got bums who
    look like Zaraki now!
[08:35] Sac
    That intel is fake.
[08:37] Sac
    They say a talking monster cat appeared.
[08:40] Sac
    It's a malicious rumor that
    preys on the human heart.
[08:43] Sac
    I've mobilized the ninja squad already.
[08:45] Sac
    I'm sure they've dealt with it by now.
[08:47] Gin
    Just how big an army has Odd Jobs become?!
[08:50] Kat
    A talking cat? Is it a vengeful ghost?
[08:53] Kat
    I cannot ignore this.
[08:54] Kat
    To adhere to the Odd Jobs Code,
    I must bring judgment down upon it.
[08:57] Kat
    Third Squad, assemble!
[08:59] Kat
    We're moving out, you louts!
[09:01] All
    Slay evil immediately!
[09:07] Hij
    A talking cat?
[09:08] Hij
    Wait just a damn second!
[09:10] Hij
    Don't use the Gatotsu on that!
[09:14] Gin
    This can't be real.
[09:16] Gin
    How am I supposed to look for
    one cat in a huge city like Edo?
[09:20] Gin
    Damn it! If only I could use the
    police's information network...
[09:24] Kon
    You seem to be in quite a hurry.
[09:27] Kon
    Running late for a date?
[09:29] Kon
    Yer friendly neighborhood policemen
[09:32] Kon
    would love to give you a
    ride in our patrol cars
[09:36] Kon
    to a rendezvous in hell!
[09:39] Hij
    Kondo-san!
[09:40] Hij
    This sucks!
[09:42] Hij
    Why'd I have to run into such
    a troublesome bunch now?
[09:45] Gin
    Thanks, but I don't need your help.
[09:48] Gin
    Don't you policemen have your own jobs to do?
[09:51] Gin
    Get back to your duties.
[09:53] Kon
    Oh, but we are doin' our jobs.
[09:55] Kon
    We found a shady vagabond,
    so we're questionin' him, is all.
[09:58] Hij
    You're one to talk, shady
    sleeveless policeman!
[10:01] Gin
    I see your Shinsengumi Code
    has gotten rather lax.
[10:06] Gin
    Normally, you'd all have to commit
    suicide for neglecting your duties.
[10:11] G
    Hear that, Yamazaki?
[10:12] G
    Shinsengumi Code, he says.
[10:14] Ymz
    That's centuries old, bro.
[10:17] Ymz
    It's ancient history!
[10:20] Ymz
    We're now free policemen, and
    nobody can hold us down anymore!
[10:24] Ymz
    We swore to Toshi-san that we'd
    live by nobody's rules but our own!
[10:30] Hij
    Uh, what rules?!
[10:31] Gin
    Those "rules" are just
    whatever's convenient for you!
[10:35] Gin
    Keep listening to that lazy vice chief,
[10:37] Gin
    and you'll end up as good-for-nothings!
[10:39] Kon
    Shut yer mouth!
[10:40] Kon
    Toshi taught us that freedom is priceless!
[10:44] Kon
    He liberated us from our stifling shackles
[10:47] Kon
    and turned us sleeveless!
[10:49] Hij
    That's what you meant by stifling?!
[10:50] Hij
    Only your shoulders have been liberated!
[10:53] Kon
    I ain't gonna whine about you
    insulting our vice chief.
[10:56] Kon
    But you insulted our buddy.
[10:59] Kon
    Yer under arrest on charges
    of buddy defamation!
[11:03] Kon
    And sentenced to being
    dragged around the city
[11:05] Kon
    and then executed!
[11:11] Oki
    Gori-san, this isn't the time
    to be messing with small fry.
[11:15] Oki
    What about that alien thing?
[11:16] Kon
    You mean the tip we got
    about a cat alien on Fourth?
[11:20] Gin
    W-Wait!
[11:21] Gin
    A cat alien?
[11:27] Shin
    You fiends!
[11:28] Shin
    What do you think you're
    doing to our president?
[11:32] Shin
    Cops or not, if you act like
    barbarians and disturb public order,
[11:35] Shin
    we of Odd Jobs shan't let that slide!
[11:37] Gin
    Y-You guys...
[11:39] Kon
    What's this?
[11:40] Kon
    What are children doing here?
[11:43] Kon
    If you wanna pretend to be
    cops, take it elsewhere!
[11:46] Shin
    You're the ones pretending to be cops.
[11:48] Shin
    Because you cannot be relied upon,
[11:49] Shin
    we've had to maintain Edo's
    public order ourselves.
[11:52] Kon
    Bullshit.
[11:53] Kon
    Edo's the land of the free.
[11:55] Kon
    You'd better not keep screwing around
    on our turf, or we'll make you pay.
[11:59] Shin
    If you stand in our way, I'll have
    to adhere to the Odd Jobs Code
[12:02] Shin
    and hit your filthy face
    with a Gatotsu Kumon Stance.
[12:07] Kon
    How about you leave all your
    food and water behind and scram!
[12:11] Shin
    So neither of us is willing to back down.
[12:13] Kon
    Looks like it.
[12:15] Kon
    Which means
[12:17] Kon
    we'll just have to settle it with our swords!
[12:23] Bo
    Hold it!
[12:26] Gin
    All of you...
[12:28] Hij
    ...sheathe your swords.
[12:29] Hij
    I order you as vice chief.
[12:31] Gin
    I order you as president.
[12:33] Gin
    Knock it off already.
[12:35] Gin
    I did tell you to slay evil immediately,
[12:36] Gin
    but are you guys incapable
    of identifying your enemies?
[12:40] Hij
    There's a limit to freedom, you know.
[12:42] Hij
    This is hardly the time to
    be fighting these guys, is it?
[12:45] Hij
    Show a little discipline and use your
    brains for once, you pieces of shit.
[12:49] Hij
    They're looking for the cat, and so are we.
[12:51] Hij
    We're both after the same thing.
[12:53] Hij
    Right, Gin-san?
[12:54] Gin
    In that case, we should put
    our swords away and cooperate.
[12:59] Gin
    Right, Hijikata-san?
[13:00] Kon
    Come on, Toshi.
[13:02] Kon
    What's wrong?
[13:03] Kon
    This ain't like you.
[13:05] Oki
    Things had just gotten interesting.
[13:08] Oki
    Why'd you have to get so
    damn serious all of a sudden?
[13:10] Oki
    Do you want me coming for
    your head again, Toshi-san?
[13:13] Shin
    If I may, President,
[13:16] Shin
    you're the one who advocated
    slaying evil immediately.
[13:18] Kag
    We were just following that.
[13:21] Kag
    Are you going to break the Odd Jobs
    Code that you created yourself?
[13:25] Kon
    Nobody's gonna take our freedom from us!
[13:29] Kon
    Not even you, Vice Chief!
[13:33] Shin
    We swore loyalty not to the president,
[13:35] Shin
    but to the Odd Jobs Code and our salaries!
[13:39] Bo
    Go!
[13:45] Bo
    They're not listening to their leaders at all!
[13:49] Hij
    Shit!
[13:53] Hij
    Take it easy, you guys.
[13:55] Hij
    I'm not telling you to make friends with them.
[13:57] Hij
    Just this once,
[13:58] Hij
    just for now, forget about your positions
    and work together to fulfill a common goal!
[14:02] Kon
    What goal?
[14:03] Hij
    The cat!
[14:05] Kon
    What cat?
[14:05] Hij
    The lost cat! We gotta look for it together!
[14:11] Cat
    Talk about hard times.
[14:13] Cat
    I can't even buy cat food with this.
[14:17] Cat
    Man, I'm starving.
[14:22] Bo
    Oh.
[14:23] Kon
    Looks like this really is no time
    to be fighting among ourselves.
[14:27] Shin
    Yeah. Let's put it off for now.
[14:31] Kon
    Men! Work together to kill that evil monster!
[14:35] Shin
    We must protect Edo from that monstrosity!
[14:37] Shin
    Now is the time to join forces!
[14:41] Bo
    That's not what we meant!
[14:44] Bo
    No! Don't eliminate it!
[14:46] Gin
    What the hell is that, anyway?
[14:48] Gin
    Why did your ego entering a cat's
    body give birth to that monster?
[14:53] Hij
    Wait, calm down!
[14:55] Hij
    Despite how he looks,
    he's actually a nice guy.
[14:57] Hij
    He's the personification of
    Buf*erin, full of kindness—
[15:00] Cat
    Who are you?!
[15:01] Cat
    Don't get in my way!
[15:04] Gin
    What part of him is a "nice guy"?!
[15:06] Gin
    You're screwed if you get beaten
    by your own other half, you know!
[15:09] Kon
    Don't falter!
[15:11] Shin
    Cursed goblin!
[15:12] Shin
    We must slay that evil immediately!
[15:14] Cat
    Do you guys know me, by any chance?
[15:17] Kag
    Eat this, you piece of shit!
[15:19] Cat
    Tell me!
[15:20] Cat
    Who in the world am I?!
[15:23] Cat
    I don't remember anything!
[15:26] Cat
    The only memories I have are of
    battles with lots of bloodshed
[15:29] Cat
    and battles with lots of balls!
[15:31] Hij
    Dear God.
[15:32] Hij
    He's not just my other half.
[15:35] Hij
    He's a big lump of the negative parts of me.
[15:37] Hij
    A sorry combat machine,
[15:39] Hij
    made of nothing but memories of
    blood-stained battles in war and pachinko.
[15:43] Gin
    That's just a lowlife!
[15:45] Gin
    Or, well, it's just you!
[15:46] G
    Your orders, President!
[15:47] Hij
    What are you guys doing?
[15:49] Hij
    Figure something out yourselves!
[15:50] G
    How, exactly?
[15:55] Cat
    I smell new pachinko machines over there.
[15:58] Shin
    Wait!
[15:59] Kon
    Shoot! He ran away!
[16:04] Shin
    Damn it!
[16:05] Shin
    I can't believe we lost to him.
[16:07] Shin
    Why?
[16:08] Kon
    Toshi!
[16:09] Kon
    We did everything as you said, so why?!
[16:14] Hij
    Because we're not your leaders.
[16:18] Gin
    Sorry
[16:20] Gin
    for being such worthless leaders.
[16:27] Gen
    Looks like they weren't the only
    ones not acting like themselves.
[16:31] Gen
    A free-spirited Shinsengumi,
[16:33] Gen
    and a disciplined and orderly Odd Jobs.
[16:35] Gen
    That's all very nice.
[16:37] Gen
    But don't you guys have a style of your own?
[16:41] Gen
    If the makeup of a leader
    can change an organization,
[16:44] Gen
    then the makeup of an organization
    can also change its leader.
[16:48] Gen
    They need your help.
[16:50] Gen
    But as you are right now,
    you won't be of any help at all.
[16:54] Gen
    You still haven't realized?
[16:56] Gen
    I guess that's understandable,
    because it is an unbelievable story.
[17:02] Gen
    Then let me teach you.
[17:04] Gen
    Tama!
[17:07] Gen
    Your leaders, and your true colors...
[17:10] Gen
    Put your bodies on the line
[17:13] Gen
    and go take it all back!
[17:37] Hij
    Where'd that freak go?
[17:39] Gin
    He definitely ran over here.
[17:42] Hij
    You get it, don't you?
[17:43] Gin
    Yeah.
[17:44] Gin
    These are the seeds we sowed.
[17:46] Gin
    We can't get anyone else mixed up in this.
[17:49] Hij
    We're gonna settle things ourselves...
[17:50] Gin
    ...staking all of our pride as leaders on it.
[17:56] Hij
    There he is!
[17:57] Gin
    It's him.
[17:59] Hij
    Oh, no! He went into a civilian home!
[18:01] Gin
    This is bad. If that combat
    machine encounters a civilian...
[18:05] Gin
    We must stop him before things get any worse!
[18:09] Hij
    Huh?
[18:10] Hij
    Wait, isn't this...
[18:12] Gin
    Found him! He's over there!
[18:14] Gin
    Watch out!
[18:15] Gin
    Get away from him—
[18:17] Tae
    Welcome back.
[18:19] Tae
    You were out pretty late tonight.
[18:23] Tae
    Where did you go to play today, Dozaemon-san?
[18:28] Hij
    S-Some—
[18:30] Tae
    Dinner's ready.
[18:31] Hij
    Someone's keeping him as a pet!
[18:33] Hij
    There was a monster that
    domesticated that monster!
[18:36] Gin
    Hey! What's going on here?
[18:38] Gin
    Why is she with that monster?!
[18:41] Hij
    Don't tell me she mistook it for an
    abandoned cat and brought it home?!
[18:43] Gin
    She sees that as a cat?
[18:44] Gin
    She sees a creature that needs
    mosaic censorship as a pet?!
[18:48] Tae
    Dozaemon-san, I'm so relieved
    to see you're healthy again.
[18:52] Gin
    But his eyeball is popped out!
[18:54] Tae
    I was so shocked when I first met you.
[19:00] Tae
    You were lying on the street in a
    pool of your own blood, not moving.
[19:03] Cat
    Oh, this isn't blood.
[19:06] Cat
    It's just how my coat looks.
[19:07] Tae
    I never knew a cat could have fur like that.
[19:10] Gin
    That's not what you should be shocked about!
[19:13] Cat
    You saved my life by nursing me back then.
[19:17] Cat
    I don't know how to express my gratitude.
[19:18] Gin
    Wait, it can have normal conversations?!
[19:20] Gin
    Hey, what does that woman
    think she's keeping as a pet?
[19:23] Tae
    No need to be shy.
[19:26] Tae
    Shin-chan's been so busy with work
    lately that he hasn't come home at all,
[19:31] Tae
    and this place is too big for one
    person, so I didn't know what to do.
[19:35] Cat
    But I can't bother you any
    more than I already have.
[19:39] Cat
    I was thinking I should get going soon.
[19:43] Tae
    You're leaving already?
[19:45] Cat
    My wounds have mostly healed.
[19:47] Cat
    Besides, uh...
[19:50] Cat
    If people were to find out
    that a young, unmarried lady
[19:54] Cat
    brought a dirty stray home,
[19:56] Cat
    who knows what they'd say?
[19:58] Gin
    That's what you're worried about?!
[19:59] Gin
    Why not show concern about
    her bringing a monster home?!
[20:02] Cat
    If I stayed with you, I'd end up
    dragging your name through the mud.
[20:07] Cat
    I'd rather rot away than
    bite the hand that fed me.
[20:11] Gin
    You already have! What's with this guy?
[20:13] Gin
    Has he always been this chivalrous?!
[20:15] Tae
    You don't have to care about that, you know.
[20:18] Tae
    If there were rumors about, um,
[20:21] Tae
    you and me, would it really
    bother you that much?
[20:24] Cat
    O-Of course not!
[20:26] Tae
    Then stop worrying about silly things.
[20:28] Cat
    Right...
[20:30] Tae
    As the daughter of a samurai family,
    throwing someone with amnesia out in the cold
[20:33] Tae
    would bring me much more shame.
[20:36] Tae
    Until you regain your memories...
[20:38] Tae
    No, even if you don't,
[20:41] Tae
    you can stay here and make new ones.
[20:45] Tae
    You're already my pet, after all.
[20:54] Cat
    Milady,
[20:56] Cat
    I am forever grateful.
[20:57] Gin
    What the hell?!
[20:58] Gin
    Why'd those two turn into
    Takakura Ken and Baisho Chieko?!
[21:02] Hij
    I'm happy for you, my other half.
[21:03] Gin
    What are you crying for?!
[21:06] Gin
    What are you gonna do? How are
    you gonna get your ego back?
[21:09] Gin
    Baisho Chieko definitely won't let you!
[21:11] Tae
    Here. I put all my skill into making
    tonight's dinner, so eat up.
[21:16] Cat
    Thanks for the food.
[21:21] Tae
    Dozaemon-san?!
[21:22] Cat
    Wh-Who am I?
[21:25] Gin
    So that's how he lost his memories?!
[21:27] Tae
    Pull yourself together, Dozaemon-san!
[21:31] Tae
    Why did it end up like this?
[21:32] Gin
    Because of that toxic waste
    you cooked, that's why!
[21:34] Gin
    At this rate, your other half is going
    to stay a pet for the rest of his life!
[21:38] Hij
    Go persuade that woman somehow.
[21:42] Hij
    We don't have a choice! I'm you right now!
[21:45] Hij
    She'll think something's up if
    I go see her out of nowhere.
[21:47] Hij
    It'd be much more natural for
    you to approach her as Gin-san.
[21:51] Hij
    You gotta act like Gin-san and
    persuade her like Gin-san would!
[21:54] Gin
    You've gotta be kidding me! Why would I—
[21:57] Hij
    So you don't mind staying in
    the body you're in, then?
[22:04] Gin
    Y-Yo...
[22:07] Gin
    Otae, pardon the intrusion.
SIGN    To Be Continued
SIGN    Preview
[23:44] Hij
    Since you did it last week,
    I'll handle the preview this time.
[23:46] Hij
    Screw you! I'm going to nail it this—
SIGN    I'm Odd Jobs,
    and He's Shinsengumi
[23:48] Sin
    What? Already?! The preview's too short!
SIGN    Next episode previews can sometimes be really short, so take note.
SIGN    The Gintoki and Hijikata Ego Switch Arc comes to an end next week.
SIGN    Will Gintoki's ego manage to retrieve its other half?
SIGN    It looked like Shinpachi and the others got run over. Will they be all right?!
