[01:39] G
    P-Point! The match is over!
[01:43] G
    Wow, just who is that newcomer?
[01:46] G
    He's gone through thirty opponents now.
[01:48] G
    If he's that good, he'll
    be an immediate asset.
[01:50] G
    A real monster has arrived.
[01:54] Kon
    Looks like we've got ourselves a
    pretty spirited newcomer this time.
[01:58] Kon
    I can't believe there was still such
    a masterful free agent out there.
[02:02] Kon
    Toshi, who is he?
[02:05] Hij
    Uh, how is this read?
[02:08] Hij
    Hashira...
[02:09] Kon
    ...Afuro?
[02:10] Hij
    Nah, it's probably "Afro."
[02:13] Kat
    It's not Afro. It's Katsura!
[02:17] Kat
    Crap! I slipped!
[02:19] Hij
    "It's not Afro, it's Katsura," huh?
[02:22] Hij
    I feel like I've heard that phrase before.
[02:25] Hij
    Also, you look kinda familiar...
[02:28] Kon
    Stop it, Toshi.
[02:29] Kon
    He means that while his name's Afro,
[02:31] Kon
    that's a wig, a "katsura," on his head.
[02:34] Kon
    Don't pry too much.
[02:35] Hij
    But...
[02:36] Oki
    That aside,
[02:37] Oki
    mind if I take him on next?
[02:40] Oki
    It's about time we taught him
    how tough the Shinsengumi are.
[02:42] Hij
    Did you forget already,
    you sadistic instructor?
[02:45] Hij
    Just the other day, you
    rendered all our new recruits
[02:47] Hij
    useless in the name of training or whatever.
[02:49] Hij
    Instead, we should interview him and
    run a thorough background check...
[02:52] Oki
    Oh?
[02:56] Oki
    Now this is unusual.
[02:57] Oki
    Looks like this has fired up
    someone far scarier than me.
[03:01] Oki
    Rejoice, new guy.
[03:05] Oki
    He says he'll accept you into
    his squad without an interview...
[03:17] Oki
    If you can defeat Shinsengumi
    Third Squad Captain,
[03:20] Oki
    Saito Shimaru.

[03:37] Gin
    Huh? What are you doing?
[03:40] Kat
    Infiltrating the Shinsengumi to
    make them crumble from the inside...
[03:46] Gin
    ...was the plan, but they beat
    you up and threw you out?
SIGN    Sugar Content
[03:49] Gin
    Zura, you should first realize that
    you're crumbling on the inside yourself.
[03:55] Shin
    Still, he beat up Katsura-san so badly.
[03:58] Shin
    Just who is this Third Squad Captain?
[04:01] Kag
    You lost the moment you resorted to
    cheap tricks like infiltration, Zura.
[04:06] Kat
    Leader...
[04:08] Kat
    I'm not Zura.
[04:09] Kat
    I'm the Special Vice Captain
    of the Third Squad,
[04:11] Kat
    Hashira Afuro!
[04:12] Shin
    Katsura-san?!
[04:15] Kat
    Did you really think I'd
    lose to a bakufu lapdog?
[04:18] Kat
    We exchanged blows for an hour,
[04:20] Kat
    but if Kondo hadn't stopped us,
    it wouldn't have ended in a draw.
[04:24] Kat
    I was exhausted due to fighting
    thirty straight battles before,
[04:27] Kat
    felt alienated in unfamiliar territory,
[04:28] Kat
    had the afro wig prickling me,
[04:30] Kat
    was wrought by anxieties about my future,
[04:31] Kat
    and irritated by a mouth ulcer.
[04:32] Kat
    Had it not been for those,
    I would've won for sure.
[04:35] Gin
    Just how many excuses have you got?
[04:36] Gin
    You barely escaped with a draw, didn't you?
[04:39] Kat
    That said, he was an
    opponent worthy of respect.
[04:42] Kat
    He was so skilled, even Okita
    had high praise for him.
[04:45] Oki
    I'm impressed that you fought
    Shimaru-niisan on equal footing.
[04:49] Oki
    While you didn't win, your
    abilities are on par with mine.
[04:53] Oki
    You pass.
[04:54] Oki
    And Shimaru-niisan said he wouldn't hold
    your stealing his afro gimmick against you.
[04:58] Shin
    He picked a fight for such a stupid reason?!
[05:00] Kat
    Most of all, he had a
    shockingly discerning eye.
[05:02] Kat
    He recognized my talents and made
    me his vice captain out of the blue.
SIGN    Third Squad   Saito Shimaru  Hashira Afuro
[05:05] Kat
    He's no ordinary man.
[05:06] Shin
    There are only two members!
[05:08] Shin
    Why was this captain the only
    person in the squad he's running?!
[05:10] Kat
    It's not that he was the only one,
[05:12] Kat
    but rather that he was the
    only one cut out for it.
[05:15] Kat
    Unlike other squads, to maintain Edo's
    public order is not the Third Squad's job.
[05:19] Kat
    Due to its special duties,
[05:21] Kat
    it's feared as the "Silent Squad."
[05:25] Kat
    Excuse me.
[05:27] Kat
    I'm Hashira Afuro, and I am
    part of the squad as of today.
[05:31] Kat
    It's a pleasure to work
    with you, Captain Saito.
SIGN    Toilet
[06:27] Sai
    Zed...
[06:31] Sai
    Zed...
[06:34] Kat
    S-So this is the Silent Squad?!
[06:36] Shin
    It just has nothing to do!
[06:38] Kat
    On top of being a man of few words,
    I believe he's also a foreigner.
[06:41] Kat
    All he ever said was "zed."
[06:43] Shin
    Those weren't zeds!
[06:44] Shin
    They were just the Zs of his snoring!
[06:46] Shin
    And all he did was take a dump and sleep!
[06:48] Shin
    Special duties, my foot!
[06:49] Kat
    That's not all.
[06:51] Oki
    Don't take it the wrong way.
[06:53] Oki
    Shimaru-niisan may have flashy hair,
    but he's extraordinarily shy.
[06:57] Oki
    I'm closer to him than most, but the last
    time I heard his voice was two years ago,
[07:01] Oki
    when he was holding up the
    line at a convenience store.
[07:05] (Flashback) Oki
    Sorry about that, everyone.
[07:07] (Flashback) Oki
    Please heat up the lunch box.
[07:09] (Flashback) Oki
    Is that okay, Shimaru-niisan?
[07:11] (Flashback) Sai
    Zed...
[07:13] Kat
    ...was his only reply, apparently.
[07:14] Shin
    In the end, he didn't say anything at all!
[07:17] Shin
    He can't even buy a lunch box! Of course
    a captain so quiet would end up alone!
[07:20] Shin
    Everyone else must've run away
    'cause they couldn't deal with him!
[07:22] Kat
    That's not it.
[07:24] Kat
    As things stood, my infiltration
    would've been for naught.
[07:27] Kat
    So I started making contact with him in a
    bid to gain influence in the third squad...
[07:33] Kat
    Zed?
[07:35] Sai
    Zed.
[07:36] Kat
    Zed!
[07:37] Sai
    Zed...
[07:38] Kat
    But no matter what I said,
    I only got Zs in reply.
[07:42] Shin
    All you said was Zs, too!
[07:44] Kat
    Captain Wolfro doesn't
    just take dumps all day.
[07:48] Kat
    He was always working on
    some sort of document.
[07:54] Kat
    When he was in the toilet, I checked it out...
[08:01] Shin
    A diary?
[08:02] Shin
    That silent guy was writing a diary?
[08:04] Kat
    "Today, a new recruit joined my Third Squad.
[08:07] Kat
    The Shinsengumi doesn't
    have room for two afroz.
[08:10] Kat
    I considered eliminating him,
[08:11] Kat
    but it's a fact that the Third
    Squad needs more memberz."
[08:14] Shin
    What's with the Zs?
[08:15] Shin
    Does he end every sentence with Zs?!
[08:17] Kat
    "I have no choice but to let him join...
[08:19] Kat
    ...zzzzzzzzzz."
[08:20] Shin
    He dozed off!
[08:21] Shin
    Even in his diary, he
    wraps things up with Zs?!
[08:24] Kat
    All it took was one look to
    realize that I could use this.
[08:27] Shin
    Oh, an exchange diary?
[08:30] Shin
    Even if he gets tongue-tied easily, you might
    still be able to communicate on paper.
SIGN    Write this part with more flourish.  - Afuro-sensei
[08:33] Kat
    "Write this part with more flourish."
[08:36] Shin
    Who are you, a teacher with a red pen?!
[08:38] Shin
    Why are you criticizing his Zs?!
[08:40] Kat
    Starting an exchange diary
    out of nowhere is scary.
[08:43] Shin
    Playing a teacher with a
    red pen should be scarier!
[08:45] Kat
    After that, I found this entry.
SIGN    Hashira Afuro ¯
[08:49] Shin
    Huh? What is this?
[08:50] Shin
    What does it mean?
[08:51] Kat
    When I replied to that as such...
SIGN    Hashira Afuro ¯
SIGN    Boop Beep Bam  Boom Chaka Boom  Beep Boop Bow  Boom Shakalaka  - Prince of Cannock's Theme
[08:55] Shin
    What the hell are you writing
    down in someone's diary?!
[08:57] Kat
    ...I found this written the next day.
SIGN    Hashira Afuro 7
SIGN    Boop Beep Bam  Boom Chaka Boom  Beep Boop Bow  Boom Shakalaka  - Prince of Cannock's Theme
[09:02] Kat
    And the day after that...
SIGN    Hashira Afuro z
SIGN    Boop Beep Bam  Boom Chaka Boom  Beep Boop Bow  Boom Shakalaka  - Prince of Cannock's Theme
[09:05] Shin
    Wait a second.
[09:06] Shin
    This thing under your name...
[09:08] Shin
    He's trying to write "Z," isn't he?
[09:10] Shin
    What happens once it's complete?
[09:13] Kat
    When I took a closer look at
    the diary, I found this...
[09:18] Shin
    What the hell?!
[09:19] Shin
    You found something totally terrifying!
[09:22] Kat
    I checked,
[09:23] Kat
    and the names written there belonged
    to former members of the Third Squad.
[09:28] Kat
    They had all broken the Shinsengumi Code,
[09:31] Kat
    and were suspected of having
    shady links with Joi Rebels.
[09:35] Kat
    In other words, they were men who'd
    betrayed the Shinsengumi in some way.
[09:41] Kat
    And as is obvious from looking
    at the Third Squad now,
[09:44] Kat
    their names are all gone from the roster.
[09:48] Kat
    You get it by now, right?
[09:49] Kat
    Basically, the reason the
    Third Squad has no members
[09:52] Kat
    is because they were all purged by that man.
[09:57] Kat
    He deliberately recruited traitors into
    his squad and punished them in secret.
[10:01] Kat
    That's the secret behind the "Silent
    Squad," Shinsengumi Third Squad.
[10:09] Shin
    That means...
[10:11] Shin
    He knows who you are already!
[10:13] Shin
    Doesn't that mean he let you
    join so he could kill you?!
[10:16] Shin
    Doesn't that mean you'll be dead when
    the Z in the diary is completed?!
[10:20] Kat
    If he knew who I was, the Z
    would've been completed by now.
[10:24] Kat
    He probably only suspects me at the moment.
[10:27] Gin
    Zura.
[10:27] Gin
    You're free to be purged or become an afro,
[10:31] Gin
    but could you not bring me trouble?
[10:34] Gin
    I'll kill you, seriously.
[10:35] Kat
    What are you saying, Gintoki?
[10:36] Kat
    Sure, it's risky, but if I play my cards right,
[10:40] Kat
    I could use the Third Squad to purge the
    Shinsengumi brass in one fell swoop!
[10:55] Gin
    Hey, could this be...
[10:58] Shin
    It's already too late?!
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[11:09] Kat
    That silhouette which resembles
    a younger Tsurube II...
[11:13] Kat
    No doubt about it. It's Captain Wolfro.
[11:15] Kag
    Did he finally figure out who
    you are and come to kill you?
[11:18] Gin
    Do something about this.
[11:20] Gin
    At this rate, we'll be
    mistaken for terrorists, too.
[11:24] Kat
    What are you saying, Gintoki?
[11:26] Kat
    Aren't we afro bros, bound by frizzy hair?
[11:29] Gin
    Whose hair are you calling an afro?!
[11:33] ---
    Huh?
[11:36] Shin
    The afro silhouette's gone—
[11:38] Shin
    Eek! He broke in from the back?!
[11:41] Gin
    Hide Zura! Hide Zura!
[11:43] ---
    Wh-Who is you?!
[11:45] ---
    How dare you barge into
    someone's house with an afro?
[11:46] ---
    D-Don't you think you're being rude?!
[11:48] ---
    Hey! What do you think you're doing?
[11:51] ---
    Take off your afro first!
[11:53] ---
    We're not cultivating any shady afros here!
[11:57] ---
    Hey, hold up!
[12:02] Gin
    Give it a rest.
[12:03] Shin
    Gin-san!
[12:04] Gin
    I don't care if you're a cop or whatever.
[12:07] Gin
    The Sakata house is governed by its own laws.
[12:10] Gin
    If you keep dropping your filthy,
    frizzy hair all over the place,
[12:12] Gin
    you'll have to pay with
    more than your pubes, boss.
[12:40] Gin
    He just took a dump and left!
[12:42] Shin
    What did he even come here to do?!
[12:44] Kag
    We didn't get it because he was silent,
[12:46] Kag
    but it looks like he simply
    wanted to use the toilet.
[12:48] Shin
    Could he have been any more misleading?!
[12:51] Gin
    Guess it's true that he's a man
    of exceedingly few words.
[12:53] Gin
    He was going around searching
    for a toilet, not Zura, huh?
[12:56] Gin
    Just how close was he to soiling himself?
[12:57] Gin
    What kind of cop takes a dump and
    leaves without saying a word?
[13:01] Kag
    It wasn't just nuggets he left behind.
SIGN    Application  To Odd Jobs
[13:07] Shin
    He was here with a job request?!
[13:09] Gin
    H-Hey...
[13:11] Gin
    Zura, this...
[13:12] Gin
    Wait, where'd Zura go?!
[13:18] Kat
    If I don't strike first, I'll be
    exposed and purged before long.
[13:22] Kat
    I must kill before I'm killed.
[13:25] Gin
    "To Odd Jobs,
[13:26] Gin
    I apologize for this sudden letter."
[13:29] Sai
    I'm Z, a civil servant working in Edo.
[13:33] Sai
    I seek your help to resolve a
    long-standing problem of mine,
[13:38] Sai
    which is why I'm writing an
    anonymous letter to you folkz.
[13:40] Shin
    Uh, it may be anonymous,
    but it couldn't be more obvious.
[13:42] Shin
    A bunch of things are totally exposed here.
[13:44] Sai
    I've always been called
    a silent, cool person,
[13:49] Sai
    but that's not true.
[13:50] Sai
    What if my small talk falls flat?
[13:52] Sai
    What if I stutter?
[13:54] Sai
    What if they find my voice weird?
[13:56] Sai
    What if they think I'm getting cocky because
[13:58] Sai
    I suddenly speak up after
    staying silent for so long?
[14:01] Sai
    I have all these negative thoughts before
    I speak, so I stay silent out of fear.
[14:04] Sai
    But in truth, I'm just a normal guy
    who wants to have fun conversationz.
[14:09] Shin
    He was troubled by it!
[14:09] Shin
    Captain Wolfro is surprisingly timid!
[14:12] Sai
    But whenever I try to talk to people,
    I get nervous and my tummy aches,
[14:17] Sai
    so I always end up in toiletz.
[14:19] Shin
    That's why he's always taking dumps?
[14:21] Sai
    What if they think I do
    nothing but take dumps?
[14:23] Sai
    What if they think my lower mouth's awfully
    talkative even though I'm so silent?
[14:27] Sai
    What if they think, though my name means
    "end," my own end doesn't work so well?
[14:30] Sai
    Thinking about all that put me at
    an even greater loss for wordz.
[14:33] Shin
    Just how delicate is he?!
[14:35] Sai
    Ironically, the higher-ups
    liked my silent nature
[14:37] Sai
    and put me in charge of
    secret investigations.
[14:40] Sai
    Before long, I could only
    speak in diary entriez.
[14:43] Sai
    And one day,
[14:45] Sai
    my men found my "Prospective Friendz" list,
[14:48] Sai
    the Z List in short, which
    I'd been compiling in secret.
[14:50] Shin
    That's what the Z stood for?!
[14:52] Sai
    They read too much into it and fled,
[14:55] Sai
    and even though I'd finally found
    people I might be able to talk to,
[14:58] Sai
    I ended up having to punish
    them with my own handz.
[15:01] Shin
    He has an innate ability
    to fish out shady people!
[15:03] Shin
    I feel for the guy, but he's perfectly
    suited for secret investigations!
[15:06] Sai
    I didn't want to kill my comrades anymore,
    even if they had broken the Code.
[15:11] Sai
    So I gave up on talking and
    was living my life in solitude
[15:15] Sai
    when that man suddenly
    appeared in front of my eyez.
[15:18] Sai
    I kept silent, but he didn't let that faze him.
[15:22] Sai
    He kept talking to me frankly multiple timez.
[15:25] Sai
    Looking at his brazen yet resolute figure
[15:28] Sai
    cleared my mind of all doubtz.
[15:31] Sai
    The one who would be my friend...
SIGN    Hashira Afuro z
[15:36] Sai
    ...was Hashira Afuro, and no one elz.
[15:37] Shin
    Uh, that guy should be at
    the top of your hit-list!
[15:41] Sai
    "But as for how to talk to him,
    I'm completely out of ideaz.
[15:44] Sai
    I'd be forever grateful if you
    could offer me some advice."
[15:47] Shin
    Oh my God!
[15:48] Shin
    Never mind purging Katsura-san,
[15:50] Shin
    he's trying to make friends with him
    without realizing he's an enemy!
[15:52] Kag
    We should tell him that
[15:54] Kag
    the moron has infiltrated the Shinsengumi
    with evil intentions in mind.
[15:57] Shin
    But then Katsura-san will get purged.
[16:00] Shin
    Gin-san, what do we do?
[16:02] Gin
    Man, this has turned into a pain in the ass.
[16:05] Gin
    We ended up accepting a lot of money, too.
[16:08] Gin
    But he's saying he doesn't want
    to kill his friends anymore,
[16:11] Gin
    so we can't make him kill Zura.
[16:14] Gin
    In which case, having
    them truly become friends
[16:16] Gin
    might be the easiest way out of this mess.
[16:19] Gin
    They're enemies, but if
    Zura gets attached to him,
[16:22] Gin
    he might withdraw.
[16:24] Shin
    Is that even possible?
[16:25] Shin
    The two of them are Shinsengumi
    and Joi Rebel, you know.
[16:27] Gin
    Who the hell do you think I am?
[16:29] Gin
    I was born through a pair
    of smooth-talking lips...
[16:32] Gin
    Down there, that is.
[16:32] Shin
    That goes for everyone.
[16:34] Gin
    I'm well aware of Zura's quirks.
[16:37] Gin
    Bring me a pen and paper.
[16:40] Gin
    Z-san, I understand your long-standing
    loneliness so much, it hurts.
[16:45] Gin
    But don't you think you're
    being a bit overeager?
[16:48] Gin
    You've been silent for years,
[16:50] Gin
    so it's impossible for you to
    become talkative overnight.
[16:54] Gin
    Besides, Zura—
[16:56] Gin
    People don't pay too much
    attention to what others say.
[17:00] Gin
    Why don't you start off
    with listening to them?
[17:04] Kat
    Captain Saito.
[17:08] Kat
    I made you tea.
[17:10] Kat
    It's about time for a break, wouldn't you say?
[17:15] Kat
    I must get rid of this man at once
[17:18] Kat
    and gain control of the
    Third Squad, no matter what.
[17:21] Kat
    While it pains me to use such a
    dirty trick, I poisoned this tea.
[17:24] Kat
    It is for a just cause.
[17:26] Kat
    I cannot be picky about my methods.
[17:33] Kat
    Help yourself.
[17:37] Gin
    Even if you can't speak, you can
    listen to others, nod, and smile.
[17:41] Gin
    That's all it takes to have
    a successful conversation.
[17:44] Gin
    A smile, especially, can
    be used in any situation,
[17:47] Gin
    making it an excellent communication tool.
[17:56] Gin
    If you're at a loss, smile.
[17:57] Gin
    Please keep that in mind.
[18:02] Kat
    Wh-What's with that smile?!
[18:04] Kat
    Don't tell me... He realized?!
[18:07] Kat
    Impossible!
[18:08] Kat
    This poison has no taste or odor!
[18:09] Kat
    It should be impossible to
    notice with the naked eye!
[18:12] Kat
    But this smile practically
    screams that he's realized!
[18:14] Kat
    He's totally realized!
[18:17] Kat
    Is he telling me he'll accept my
    challenge head-on with a smile?
[18:20] Kat
    No, it can't be. I must be imagining things.
[18:22] Kat
    A smile this creepy couldn't possibly exist!
[18:25] Kat
    His face is probably just
    twitching out of exhaustion!
[18:29] Kat
    This is the end, Wolfro!
[18:32] Gin
    When you're the listener, there may be
    times when the other person stops talking.
[18:38] Gin
    At such times,
[18:41] Gin
    try causing a minor "accident" of sorts.
[18:48] Gin
    Mishaps are a far superior
    conversation topic than mere words.
[18:57] Kat
    F-Forgive me!
[18:59] Kat
    That tea was too hot!
[19:01] Kat
    I'll go make some more!
[19:06] Gin
    His smile is way too scary!
[19:09] Shin
    That was a total bust.
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[19:11] Shin
    Instead of making him Wolfro's friend,
    it only made Katsura-san more cautious!
[19:14] Gin
    I thought it'd be better than
    making him talk unnaturally,
[19:17] Gin
    but even his smile was unnatural, huh?
[19:18] Kag
    What now? He sent us a letter to complain.
SIGN    I've been doing as you said and smiling since then,  but people are keeping their distance even more now.  Even my diarrhea's gotten worse. Did I do something wrong?  Did my asshole do something wrong? Please respond. - Civil Servant Z
[19:21] Shin
    This is bad.
[19:22] Shin
    He's dropping that smile all over the place.
[19:23] Shin
    He's growing more and more isolated!
[19:25] Gin
    Man, screw it.
[19:27] Gin
    Z-san, let's move on to the next step.
[19:30] Gin
    Small talk might make you self-conscious,
    but making necessary conversation is easy.
[19:35] Gin
    Among those, conversations
    about work are most effective.
[19:38] Gin
    Try taking him along for work and
    answering any questions he may have.
[19:43] Shin
    Well, he managed to bring
    him along all right,
[19:45] Shin
    but Katsura-san's being super wary!
[19:47] Shin
    He's not going to ask any questions!
[19:48] Gin
    Now, now.
[19:49] Gin
    Once they get to work, they'll have
    to talk, whether they like it or not.
[20:04] Shin
    Now he's speechless!
[20:06] Shin
    This sucks! Unknown to us,
    Elizabeth-san was captured!
[20:10] Shin
    What's worse, Saito-san is
    also in charge of torture!
[20:12] Gin
    Wait, why is he wearing a
    Shinsengumi uniform, too?
[20:15] Gin
    Was he trying to sneak in with that?
    Did he really think they wouldn't find out?!
[20:18] Shin
    A conversation's out of the question now.
[20:20] Shin
    Katsura-san's going to
    explode for sure this time!
SIGN    K-Katsura-san!
[20:26] Kat
    This is a great sandbag!
[20:28] Shin
    He cast him aside without
    a moment's hesitation!
[20:30] Kat
    Where'd you find this?
[20:31] Kat
    I'd love to have one at home, too.
[20:35] Kat
    Damn you, Wolfro!
[20:36] Kat
    Did you think you could trap me with this?
[20:39] Kat
    Elizabeth, now is the time to endure.
[20:41] Kat
    I promise to avenge you—
[20:45] Kat
    Elizabeth...

[20:57] Shin
    He domesticated him?!
[20:58] Shin
    I thought he caught and tortured him, but
    he was just keeping Elizabeth-san as a pet!
SIGN    There, there.
SIGN    Purr, purr.
[21:03] Gin
    He's really taken a liking to him! The
    two silent types have made a connection!
[21:07] Kat
    H-How could this be?!
[21:10] Kat
    In such a short time, he tamed
    Elizabeth even more than I did?!
[21:15] Kat
    Say it isn't so, Elizabe—
[21:20] Kat
    I can't believe it.
[21:21] Kat
    I don't believe it!
[21:23] Shin
    What is he doing?!
[21:25] Shin
    Never mind throwing the Shinsengumi into a
    panic, he's the one who's panicking most!
[21:29] Gin
    But this might be for the best.
[21:33] Gin
    A Shinsengumi officer and a Joi Rebel
    becoming friends was impossible to begin with.
[21:38] Gin
    Zura will surely learn
    his lesson and withdraw.
[21:43] Gin
    This was for the best. It really was.

    Next week, "Afuro and Wolfro" airz.
SIGN    We thought this story  would end in one episode,
SIGN    but in the Third Squad, for some reason Hashira Afuro's in charge of thingz?
SIGN    The strategy used by Katsura (currently Hashira) puts Saito Shimaru in a real predicament.
