[00:01] M
    Vice Commander of the Chidori
    Space Pirates' Second Division,
[00:04] M
    Diamond Princess Mutsu.
[00:06] Gin
    You were a space pirate?!
[00:09] (Flashback) C
    Long time no see, Con—
[00:13] (Flashback) Sak
    I've made up my mind.
[00:16] (Flashback) Sak
    This ship now belongs to Sakamoto Tatsuma!
[00:20] (Flashback) Sak
    I'll buy this ship, slaves and all.
[00:24] (Flashback) W
    Thank you so very much, Captain.
[00:28] (Flashback) W
    You're truly kind.
[00:30] (Flashback) Sak
    Give and take.
[00:32] (Flashback) Sak
    That's what business is all about.
[00:36] (Flashback) C
    Tomorrow, at Planet Ken'o,
    we shall execute all the slaves,
[00:39] (Flashback) C
    along with that girl.
[00:46] (Flashback) M
    Tell her it was delicious.
SIGN    Sakamoto Tatsuma's request: Watch this program in a
    nice 'n' bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
[02:31] M
    Even I couldn't say why
    I did what I did back then.
[02:37] M
    Perhaps I didn't want to get others
    caught up in my own battles,
[02:41] M
    or perhaps I wanted to atone for all
    the slaves I'd sold up until then.
[02:47] M
    No, most likely...
[02:51] M
    the daughter of a pirate just wanted to
    take part in a real trade at the very end.
SIGN    Always Leave Enough Room
    for Pebbles in Your Bag
[03:10] G
    Put out the fire!
[03:14] Gin
    And? This is what your
    "real trade" resulted in?
[03:20] Gin
    Looks like you got some
    pretty hefty change back.
[03:24] M
    Yeah, droppin' all these coins
    is most unbecomin' of a trader.
[03:29] G
    Y-You bastards!
[03:31] M
    I'd better collect 'em all this time.
[03:34] M
    Right down to the very last yen.
[03:45] Gin
    Where's that moron?
[03:46] M
    They might've realized their bluff didn't work
[03:48] M
    and decided to try to take him and escape.
[03:51] M
    You search the deck.
[03:54] Gin
    Got it.
[03:59] Gin
    Wait, Muts—
[04:06] Gin
    Why, you little...
[04:12] G
    Welcome home, Vice Commander.
[04:15] G
    How nice of you to finally come back to us.
[04:20] G
    Let's pick up...
[04:24] G
    where we left off that time.
[04:31] (Flashback) C
    That's a pirate's daughter for you.
[04:34] (Flashback) C
    You're putting on a brave
    face right to the very end.
[04:37] (Flashback) C
    Or so I'd like to say,
[04:40] (Flashback) C
    but it seems you saw this coming.
[04:44] (Flashback) M
    Everybody knows pirates don't
    get to die painless deaths.
[04:48] (Flashback) M
    And I can see the very next cut,
[04:50] (Flashback) M
    where your face will be hit by bird
    poop, coming from a mile away.
[04:56] (Flashback) C
    Not again!
[04:57] (Flashback) C
    And the seagulls on this planet drop huge turds!
[05:01] (Flashback) C
    You're saying you were
    prepared to die at any time?
[05:04] (Flashback) C
    It won't come off...
[05:06] (Flashback) C
    Then why did you stay on this ship?
[05:12] (Flashback) C
    Was it for him, perhaps?
[05:20] (Flashback) M
    Why didn't you run?
[05:23] (Flashback) Sak
    The same reason you didn't.
[05:28] (Flashback) Sak
    You alone weren't enough bait
[05:31] (Flashback) Sak
    to ensure everyone could get away.
[05:36] (Flashback) M
    You...
[05:41] (Flashback) C
    By playing the decoy yourselves,
    you tried to distract us
[05:45] (Flashback) C
    and buy enough time for
    the slaves to get away.
[05:49] (Flashback) C
    Mutsu-sama, this is undeniably a rebellion.
[05:53] (Flashback) C
    Now I can freely order your execution.
SIGN    26.477
[05:57] (Flashback) C
    And theirs, as well.
[06:02] (Flashback) C
    How's it look?
[06:03] (Flashback) G
    Targets sighted 50 km south of this ship.
[06:09] (Flashback) G
    We just shot them down.
[06:11] (Flashback) G
    The slaves are now sleeping with the fishes.
[06:17] C
    Yes, it was just the same back then.
[06:20] C
    You tried to protect your friends,
[06:23] C
    but were unable to do anything
[06:25] C
    and simply fell to the ground.
[06:28] C
    And here you both are again,
[06:31] C
    fallen on the ground.
[06:33] C
    People never change, eh?
[06:36] Sak
    Yeah, they don't.
[06:39] Sak
    Just like your stupid face.
[06:42] Sak
    Oh, sorry.
[06:44] Sak
    I forgot I've never seen your face.
[06:49] C
    Let me tell you this, Con Man!
[06:52] C
    The one thing we wanted
    to take back from you most
[06:56] C
    was that girl's life!
[06:58] C
    If she hadn't escaped back then,
[07:00] C
    if I'd been the one at the helm,
[07:03] C
    I could've gotten the crumbling
    Chidori back on its feet!
[07:06] C
    But this traitor ruined everything!
[07:14] G
    Commander!
[07:17] Sak
    You were the ones who tossed
    her away, twice, like a pebble.
[07:22] Sak
    I'm a trader.
[07:23] Sak
    So long as I get paid, I'll gladly sell
    you anythin', be it ships or bags.
[07:28] Sak
    But no matter how large your offer,
[07:31] Sak
    I have nothin' to sell to scum
[07:35] Sak
    who don't understand the value
    of those pebbles we call comrades.
[07:40] Sak
    Could you please leave, good sir?
[07:45] G
    Y-You bastard!
[07:47] Sak
    People don't change, huh? Well said.
[07:51] Sak
    You haven't changed a bit since then, either.
[07:57] (Flashback) C
    Too bad.
[07:59] (Flashback) C
    None of what you did affected
    my plans in any way whatsoever.
[08:06] (Flashback) C
    Now, if you'll sink to the depths of
    the ocean, all will be as I planned.
[08:10] (Flashback) M
    Business is no walk in the park, huh?
[08:14] (Flashback) M
    In the end, all I did was take.
[08:18] (Flashback) M
    I couldn't give them anything in return.
[08:20] (Flashback) Sak
    Nah. Your pebble was a wonderful product.
[08:25] (Flashback) Sak
    That was good business.
[08:27] (Flashback) M
    That was nothing but a pebble.
[08:30] (Flashback) Sak
    All goods are worth nothin'
    'til they're on a store shelf.
[08:33] (Flashback) Sak
    Traders are alchemists who derive
    value from nothin' to turn a profit.
[08:40] (Flashback) Sak
    That you discovered that value
    makes you a proper trader.
[08:44] (Flashback) Sak
    And now, it's my turn.
[08:48] (Flashback) Sak
    Didn't I tell you that I'd buy
    this ship, slaves and all?
[08:53] (Flashback) Sak
    I never planned on leaving
    anyone locked inside a cage.
[08:58] (Flashback) Sak
    Including you, Mutsu.
[09:01] (Flashback) Sak
    You're no longer a pirate,
[09:04] (Flashback) Sak
    nor a mere pebble.
[09:07] (Flashback) Sak
    You're a diamond I found in the rough,
[09:13] (Flashback) Sak
    a gem known as a comrade!
[09:16] C
    Y-You fiends!
[09:19] M
    We played dead and disguised
    ourselves among your men.
[09:22] M
    I can't believe you fell for it twice.
[09:24] M
    You really aren't cut out to be a captain.
[09:28] M
    One moronic captain is more than enough.
[09:34] (Flashback) G
    Fire!
[09:39] (Flashback) G
    Attention all pirates!
[09:41] (Flashback) G
    C-Commander! The slave ships!
[09:44] (Flashback) G
    We have taken over your fleet!
[09:48] (Flashback) G
    Hand over the mother ship, too,
[09:51] (Flashback) G
    How did they...
[09:51] (Flashback) G
    and free all the slaves!
[09:54] (Flashback) G
    You have five minutes.
[09:57] (Flashback) G
    One...
[09:58] (Flashback) G
    Two...
[09:59] (Flashback) G
    Three...
[09:59] (Flashback) C
    Y-You bastards!
[10:00] (Flashback) G
    Four...
[10:01] (Flashback) G
    Five...
[10:03] (Flashback) G
    Gran?!
[10:05] (Flashback) G
    That was too quick! Didn't you
    hear me say "five minutes"?!
[10:07] (Flashback) G
    When you get old, time seems
    to fly by so much faster.
[10:11] (Flashback) G
    No, it really has only been five seconds!
[10:14] (Flashback) G
    They fired at us!
[10:16] (Flashback) C
    Curses! Ignore the firing and
    turn the tables on the slaves!
[10:20] (Flashback) G
    C-Commander! They've vanished!
[10:23] (Flashback) C
    What?
[10:31] (Flashback) Sak
    Hup.
[10:46] Gin
    W-Wait.
[10:47] Gin
    That fighting style,
[10:49] Gin
    pale skin,
[10:51] Gin
    and braided hat to ward off the sun...
[10:53] Gin
    Don't tell me...
[10:56] Gin
    You're a Yato?!
[10:59] Gin
    So the heiress of a space pirate fleet
[11:01] Gin
    is also a member of the universe's
    mightiest warrior race?!
[11:04] Gin
    Where does that leave our heroine?!
[11:07] Gin
    Damn it, Tatsuma!
[11:08] Gin
    You couldn't have picked a more
    dangerous XO if you'd tried!
[11:11] Sak
    Yato? What's that all about?
[11:13] Gin
    You didn't know?!
[11:19] C
    Fire!
[11:20] C
    Hold them off!
[11:24] Sak
    Are they trying to escape?
[11:26] M
    Not on my watch.
[11:28] M
    You're not the only ones
    who can use projectiles!
[11:34] G
    Commander! All the guns have been destroyed!
[11:37] C
    I don't care! Get going!
[11:44] M
    Don't you understand that
    I'm tellin' you to wait?
[11:46] M
    You forgot your change, sir.
[11:51] C
    M-Mutsu...
[11:52] C
    With that much power and talent,
[11:56] C
    you could've become a notorious pirate.
[11:59] C
    Why are you still serving that man?
[12:03] C
    Why do you remain a mere trader?
[12:06] C
    To repay your debt to him?
[12:08] C
    To atone for the slaves?
[12:12] M
    Nonsense.
[12:14] M
    Even if I wanted to repay my debts,
[12:16] M
    or atone for my sins,
[12:19] M
    they're all gone.
[12:24] M
    That insane trader took all
    my debts and sins from me.
[12:33] M
    I stand before you as someone
    who lost everything she had.
[12:37] M
    As plain old Mutsu.
[12:39] M
    As Vice Captain of the Kaientai, Mutsu.
[12:44] C
    Those are the slaves from back then!
[12:45] C
    Don't tell me your Kaientai is...
[12:49] M
    Remember this.
[12:51] M
    I'm not a pebble that moron picked up.
[12:55] M
    The one who found a pile of gems back then
[13:03] M
    was me.
[13:10] M
    What's this?
[13:12] M
    Here I thought I'd finally get to see your face,
[13:15] M
    but it's as filthy as ever.
[13:24] M
    It ain't gonna sell.
[13:33] G
    Mutsu-sama! I'm so glad you're safe!
[13:36] G
    I knew you'd be able to pull it off.
[13:40] G
    You even managed to buy a ship
    with those unprofitable bags.
[13:43] G
    Give it back! Give our ship back!
[13:45] G
    Your business acumen is truly
    beyond measure, Mutsu-sama.
[13:49] G
    Let's celebrate Mutsu-sama's
    safe return with a party!
[13:52] Sak
    Hey! Doesn't anybody want to celebrate
    the captain's safe return?!
[13:57] Gin
    Well, you didn't return safe and sound.
[13:59] Gin
    Your mug's gone bon voyage.
[14:03] Gin
    Still, I'm amazed your Kaientai fleet
[14:07] Gin
    is made up of the slaves you freed.
[14:12] Sak
    This is a trade, too.
[14:14] Sak
    The slaves have nowhere to go, so I
    give them a home as members of my crew.
[14:20] Sak
    In return, it saves me labor costs.
[14:22] Sak
    It's a win-win.
[14:24] Gin
    I'll leave it at that,
[14:27] Gin
    because I'm sure you'd rather drop
    dead than say you did it for a girl.
[14:32] Gin
    You'll have to compensate me for my services.
[14:35] Gin
    I'm running a business, too.
[14:37] Sak
    I'll leave it at that,
[14:39] Sak
    because I'm sure you'd rather drop dead
    than say you did it for a girl, too.
[14:53] (Flashback) M
    You said I was no longer
    a pirate, didn't you?
[14:58] (Flashback) M
    How so?
[14:59] (Flashback) M
    This is clearly worse than piracy.
[15:05] (Flashback) Sak
    Don't sweat the small stuff.
[15:07] (Flashback) Sak
    Pirates and traders do more
    or less the same things.
[15:11] (Flashback) Sak
    We eat, poop, sleep, and puke.
[15:16] (Flashback) M
    You're the only one who pukes
    anywhere and everywhere.
[15:19] (Flashback) Sak
    Besides, you already know the difference
    between pirates and traders.
[15:35] (Flashback) Sak
    That's right.
[15:37] (Flashback) Sak
    We Kaientai are pirates who live for pleasure.
SIGN    Kai-rates
[15:41] (Flashback) Sak
    We're Kai-rates!
[15:47] G
    We're good to go.
[15:54] Sak
    Kaientai...
[15:55] M
    ...lift off!
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[16:02] Shin
    Gin-san, Gin-san, we've received
    a package from Mutsu-san.
[16:06] Gin
    What? Is it my reward?
[16:08] Gin
    The Razor XO really knows where it's at!
[16:13] Kag
    Look, Gin-chan!
[16:14] Kag
    It's 50 million yen!
[16:15] Gin
    For real?!
[16:16] Kag
    Or, well, a bag with room for 50 million,
[16:19] Kag
    filled with pickled radishes!
[16:33] M
    That was good business.
[16:35] M
    With those words, the woman
    filled her pockets with pebbles
[16:40] M
    and set sail across the sea of stars.
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[18:21] Shin
    Wait, what?
[18:22] Gin
    We ended up with some time left over.
[18:24] Shin
    Don't say it like that!
[18:26] Kag
    I was irritated that characters who
    usually only show up in the OP and ED
[18:28] Kag
    got a two-episode arc that ended on a
    nice note, so I'm glad this happened.
[18:33] Kag
    What do you mean, she's actually
    a Yato? That's news to me.
[18:35] Shin
    Well, there have been ups and downs,
[18:37] Shin
    but Gintama Season Three, which began
    with an apology press conference,
[18:40] Shin
    has now managed to stay on
    air for a whole two cours.
[18:42] Gin
    Seriously, so much has happened.
[18:44] Gin
    We played basketball and wore the Cloths.
[18:46] Kag
    We really did our best to
    ride on others' coattails.
[18:49] Shin
    Uh, well...
[18:52] Shin
    And now,
[18:53] Shin
    thanks to all of you, it's been decided
    that we'll be airing a third cours, too!
[18:58] Gin
    Oh...
[18:59] Kag
    'Kay.
[19:00] Shin
    Hey, what's with the lame reactions?
[19:02] Gin
    Everyone probably already found out
    we're continuing from anime magazines
[19:04] Gin
    or TV Tokyo's official site.
[19:06] Kag
    And considering we'll have to
    make do with a shoestring budget,
[19:09] Kag
    it's a double-edged sword.
[19:10] Shin
    Hey! What's with this mood?!
[19:12] Shin
    Act more excited, even if
    you have to force yourselves!
[19:14] Gin
    But well,
[19:15] Gin
    it was really difficult to
    make a return this time.
[19:18] Gin
    I mean, the manga staff used Jump's
    cover to tell us, "Don't do it!"
[19:21] Gin
    And the filthy grown-ups went all,
[19:23] Gin
    "This will set a bad example, so you
    represent all the anime staff and apologize."
[19:28] Gin
    To top it all off, they said,
[19:29] Gin
    "Your hair's all crooked. Show some sincerity,"
[19:32] Gin
    and nearly made me shave my head there.
[19:35] ---
    I somehow convinced them to
    let me off with a 7:3 part!
[19:37] ---
    Any adult who'd associate with this
    anime can't be a decent person.
[19:41] ---
    Yeah, we did suddenly go
    from a Sunrise production
[19:43] ---
    to being produced by Bandai Namco ictures.
[19:45] Shin
    Uh, was that really the company's name?
[19:46] Kag
    Bandai Namco ictures is
    just Bandai Namco ictures.
[19:50] Kag
    Oh, would abbreviating it to BN be easier to say?
[19:53] Shin
    I'm saying there's no beep there!
[19:55] Shin
    I mean, it's just a P!
[19:57] Gin
    When you're running a company,
[19:58] Gin
    there are some things you just
    gotta hide from the public.
[20:01] Shin
    What's the point of hiding
    the company's name?!
[20:03] Kag
    That aside, what do we do
    about the remaining airtime?
[20:05] Gin
    Oh, maybe run a recap or something?
[20:08] Kag
    The higher-ups said to make
    it seem a little special,
[20:10] Kag
    because if we did a normal recap,
[20:12] Kag
    we'd look like all those other shows
    delayed by production issues.
[20:15] Gin
    Man, that's such a pain in the ass.
[20:17] Shin
    Uh, in that case,
[20:19] Shin
    how about the three of us describe all
    that's happened so far as we reflect on it?
[20:23] Gin
    But if it's just the three of us,
    won't it all be the same stuff?
[20:27] Kag
    We could make it seem special
    by having three special guests.
[20:30] Kag
    How about something like this?

[21:38] Ginko
    Because you want to be freed
    of the V-shaped curse?
[21:40] Hij
    Like hell, dumbass!
[21:42] Hij
    I can set my hair in my
    real body if I try, too!
[21:44] Hij
    I can get a makeover at any time!
[21:46] Gin
    Stop it, you two!
[21:47] Gin
    This is making me feel
    really awkward, so stop!
[21:50] Gin
    I can't do this anymore!
[21:51] Gin
    Cut, cut! Let's start over!
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[21:54] Kag
    What was that for, Gin-chan?
[21:56] Kag
    That seemed really special, you know.
[21:58] Gin
    We don't need special if it's
    going to be so out of control!
[22:00] Gin
    We're not after something
    on the level of Christmas
[22:02] Gin
    and New Year's coming at the same time!
[22:03] Gin
    Just a little bit is fine!
[22:05] Gin
    A three-day weekend is fine!
[22:07] Kag
    A three-day weekend, huh?

    I said three-day, not Tri-Stars!
[22:28] Gin
    Though I should've seen it coming!
[22:29] Gin
    That joke was in SD Gundam already,
    as the Black Tri-Defeats or something!
[22:32] Kag
    By taking a step back,
[22:34] Kag
    it's actually become
    easier to mess with this.
[22:37] Kag
    I wanna ask them what the story is
    behind the move from Sunrise to BN.
[22:41] Gin
    Those guys know what happened?!
[22:44] Kag
    I guess they wouldn't.
[22:46] Kag

SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[23:11] Kag
    I thought a pet special would be soothing.
[23:13] Gin
    It's not! It's nothing but unsettling!
[23:15] Shin
    Uh, I'm sorry,
[23:16] Shin
    but while we were messing around, we ended
    up with less than 30 seconds remaining!
