[00:02] (Flashback) Gin
    Hey, you.
[00:05] (Flashback) Gin
    Takasugi, was it?
[00:07] (Flashback) Gin
    Don't get cocky just because you won.
[00:11] (Flashback) Gin
    In the time it took you to
    beat me once by sheer miracle,
[00:14] (Flashback) Gin
    how many times did I beat you?
[00:18] (Flashback) Gin
    If you truly wanna beat me...
[00:20] (Flashback) Gin
    If you wanna make up for all your losses,
[00:23] (Flashback) Gin
    come back tomorrow.
[00:26] (Flashback) Gin
    I'll be the one to win then, too, though.
[00:38] Tak
    Too bad, Gintoki.
[00:41] Tak
    The score is now 247-246.
[00:48] Tak
    I win.

[02:33] (Flashback) Kat
    Now here's a pleasant sight.
[02:35] (Flashback) Kat
    There's a moron flying in the sky.
[02:37] (Flashback) Tak
    Yeah, it's a pleasant sight.
[02:39] (Flashback) Tak
    I can look down on a moron.
[02:42] (Flashback) Kat
    What are you going to do from now on?
[02:44] (Flashback) Tak
    There's nothing I can do.
[02:47] (Flashback) Tak
    I was told I'd be disowned if I ever
    set foot in that place again.
[02:50] (Flashback) Kat
    I see. So your father caught
    wind of that rumor, too.
[02:55] (Flashback) Kat
    There's a rumor saying that the Shoka
    Sonjuku school gathers local kids
[03:01] (Flashback) Kat
    and feeds them shady anti-bakufu
    and seditious propaganda.
[03:05] (Flashback) Sho
    You can each flaunt your own brand of bushido
[03:08] (Flashback) Sho
    and become your own samurai.
[03:13] (Flashback) Tak
    Sounds about right.
[03:15] (Flashback) Tak
    If all samurai were like the ones he talks
    about, this country would fall to ruin.
[03:20] (Flashback) Kat
    Perhaps.
[03:22] (Flashback) Kat
    But they were a pleasant bunch.
[03:27] (Flashback) Kat
    I always thought samurai were prisoners,
    shackled by all kinds of things.
[03:33] (Flashback) Kat
    But if it is possible,
[03:35] (Flashback) Kat
    I'd love to be a free-spirited
    samurai like that.
[03:42] (Flashback) G
    The rumors were right.
[03:44] (Flashback) G
    We were wondering why we hadn't
    seen you at the academy lately.
[03:47] (Flashback) G
    Who'd have thought you'd get attached
    to this shady temple school?
[03:51] (Flashback) G
    I guess you'll finally be expelled from
    the Military Arts Academy, Takasugi.
[03:55] (Flashback) G
    But too bad, this school might
    get shut down as soon as tonight.
[03:59] (Flashback) G
    I told my father about some of the
    nasty rumors about this place.
[04:04] (Flashback) G
    The officials will make their move soon.
[04:06] (Flashback) G
    That man will either be run out
    of here or arrested, if he's lucky.
[04:10] (Flashback) G
    Serves that random vagabond right
    for pretending to be a teacher.
[04:14] (Flashback) G
    This is what happens when you step
    out of line and insult us samurai.
[04:20] (Flashback) G
    Takasugi, you'll never be a samurai now.
[04:30] (Flashback) Kat
    Takasugi.
[04:32] (Flashback) Kat
    Should you be staying out this late?
[04:35] (Flashback) Kat
    You could actually get disowned this time.
[04:38] (Flashback) Tak
    No need to worry.
[04:41] (Flashback) Tak
    I'm going to get disowned tomorrow anyway.
[04:47] (Flashback) Tak
    And you, Katsura?
[04:48] (Flashback) Tak
    You could lose your scholarship if you're
    caught hanging around here this late.
[04:53] (Flashback) Kat
    You needn't worry.
[04:55] (Flashback) Kat
    I was getting sick of that worthless,
    spoiled education anyway.
[05:00] (Flashback) Kat
    I told them to run before nightfall.
SIGN    Shoka
    Sonjuku
[05:04] (Flashback) Kat
    After all, debts ought to be repaid.
[05:08] (Flashback) Kat
    The prestigious Military Arts Academy's
    biggest prodigy and bad boy are teaming up.
[05:13] (Flashback) Kat
    We should be able to stall the officials.
[05:17] (Flashback) Gin
    Two students from a prestigious
    school? Don't make me laugh.
[05:21] (Flashback) Gin
    Don't you mean the den of evil that's
    training rebels to topple the government,
[05:26] (Flashback) Gin
    the Shoka Sonjuku school's three bad boys?
[05:33] (Flashback) Kat
    Why are you here?
[05:34] (Flashback) Kat
    I thought I told you to run.
[05:36] (Flashback) Gin
    That was for Shoyo.
[05:38] (Flashback) Gin
    Why would I have to run?
[05:41] (Flashback) Gin
    Besides, you guys learned how to
    play hooky and enjoy the nightlife.
[05:45] (Flashback) Gin
    You're part of our school already.
[05:48] (Flashback) Gin
    Of course I'd come to say goodbye.
[05:51] (Flashback) Gin
    But you've done enough.
[05:52] (Flashback) Gin
    I'll handle the rest, so get out of here.
[05:56] (Flashback) Gin
    Shoyo and I are nomads to begin with.
[05:58] (Flashback) Gin
    We can find a home anywhere.
[06:01] (Flashback) Gin
    But you guys are different.
[06:03] (Flashback) Gin
    If you get involved any further,
    you won't be able to go back.
[06:07] (Flashback) Gin
    Do you wanna be stripped
    of your samurai status?
[06:10] (Flashback) Tak
    If I had anywhere to go, I wouldn't
    be here in the first place.
[06:15] (Flashback) Kat
    I've been all alone since my grandma died.
[06:18] (Flashback) Kat
    More than anything,
[06:20] (Flashback) Kat
    I no longer have any ambitions I'd
    need some kind of status to fulfill.
[06:24] (Flashback) Tak
    Even if I had ambitions like that,
    I wouldn't want them just handed to me.
[06:28] (Flashback) Tak
    I'd find them with my own eyes...
[06:30] (Flashback) Kat
    ...and grab them with my own hands.
[06:35] (Flashback) Gin
    That so?
[06:36] (Flashback) Gin
    I won't say anything more, then.
[06:41] (Flashback) O
    Hey, you kids over there.
[06:44] (Flashback) O
    What are you doing at this late hour?
[06:47] (Flashback) Gin
    I'm Sakata Gintoki, disciple of Yoshida
    Shoyo and student of Shoka Sonjuku.
[06:52] (Flashback) Kat
    Katsura Kotaro, likewise.
[06:54] (Flashback) Tak
    Takasugi Shinsuke, likewise.
[06:58] (Flashback) All
    En garde!
[06:59] (Flashback) O
    What's with these brats?
[07:01] (Flashback) Sho
    Don't draw them.
[07:04] (Flashback) Sho
    Keep your swords sheathed, all of you.
[07:09] (Flashback) Sho
    Please don't make me draw mine.
[07:11] (Flashback) O
    Yoshida Shoyo!
[07:13] (Flashback) O
    You bastard!
[07:15] (Flashback) Sho
    You can say what you want about me.
[07:18] (Flashback) Sho
    If you find me an eyesore, I'll gladly leave.
[07:23] (Flashback) Sho
    But...
[07:27] (Flashback) Sho
    If you point those blades at my students,
[07:30] (Flashback) Sho
    I won't hesitate to truly
    topple the government.
[07:42] (Flashback) Gin
    Shoyo...
[07:43] (Flashback) Sho
    Goodness.
[07:45] (Flashback) Sho
    I thought I'd sent all students home.
[07:48] (Flashback) Sho
    There were a few bad boys left here, huh?
[07:53] (Flashback) Sho
    But I'm sorry, Dojo Challenger.
[07:56] (Flashback) Sho
    There is no dojo or school
    left for you to challenge.
[08:01] (Flashback) Tak
    Don't worry.
[08:03] (Flashback) Tak
    My target isn't some dojo.
[08:06] (Flashback) Tak
    It's you, Shoyo-sensei.
[08:09] (Flashback) Kat
    And if you ask us,
[08:11] (Flashback) Kat
    so long as you're there, even a
    meadow or a farm can be our school.
[08:16] (Flashback) Tak
    Besides, neither your
    brand of bushido nor ours
[08:20] (Flashback) Tak
    is frail enough to be broken
    by something like this, right?
[08:25] (Flashback) Sho
    Gintoki.
[08:26] (Flashback) Sho
    You seem to have brought along a couple
    of students more impertinent than you.
[08:32] (Flashback) Gin
    I know, right?
[08:35] (Flashback) Sho
    Very well.
[08:36] (Flashback) Sho
    Let me get right to teaching
    you a roadside lesson, then.
[08:40] (Flashback) Sho
    You half-growns are a hundred years
    too early to be out playing at night.
[08:46] (Flashback) Sho
    Welcome to Shoka Sonjuku.
[09:20] Tak
    Sensei...
[09:23] Tak
    Have you come to punch me again?
[09:28] Tak
    Are you here to stop me
    from half-assing things?
[09:36] Gin
    He's gone.
[09:39] Gin
    Sensei is no longer in this world.
[09:44] Gin
    We're the only ones who can stop us now.
[09:54] Gin
    If we don't like something,
[09:57] Gin
    and we can't accept it,
[10:01] Gin
    we'll have to stop it with our own fists!
[10:12] Gin
    Takasugi...
[10:15] Gin
    How long will you keep using
    that crushed left eye of yours
[10:19] Gin
    to look at the back of your eyelid?
[10:23] Gin
    Open the one eye you've got
    left and take a good look.
[10:28] Gin
    The guy you've got to swing your fist at
[10:32] Gin
    is right here!
[10:37] Tak
    I can see that with my eyes closed!
[10:42] Tak
    Gintoki!
[10:51] Tak
    I, and this closed eye of mine,
[10:56] Tak
    still see the desires from back then,
[11:08] Tak
    along with the bonds,
[11:15] Tak
    the aspirations,
[11:20] Tak
    and...
[11:28] Tak
    the hatred.
[11:40] Tak
    I haven't forgotten any of it.
[11:44] Tak
    I've never once lost sight of it.
[11:48] Tak
    The guy I have to swing my fist at
[11:51] Tak
    is still burned into the back of my eyelid.
[11:56] Tak
    Now, stand up,
[11:59] Tak
    Gintoki.
[12:02] Tak
    Our sworn enemy is right here.
[12:05] Tak
    Don't avert your eyes.
[12:07] Tak
    Clench your fist.
[12:10] Tak
    Avenge Sensei.
[12:15] Tak
    We can't point a blade at ourselves.
[12:21] Tak
    But we've got someone far more
    intimate to cut and curse.
[12:28] Tak
    I have you,
[12:31] Tak
    and you have me!
[12:43] (Flashback) Ten
    How pitiful
[12:46] (Flashback) Ten
    for youngsters with hearts so concerned for
    their country to meet such a terrible fate.
[12:52] (Flashback) Ten
    Is this what you wanted to do,
[12:56] (Flashback) Ten
    Shoyo?
[12:58] (Flashback) Ten
    Your students died in vain,
    just as you taught them to.
[13:04] (Flashback) Ten
    You're trying to say you never taught
    them anything of the sort, huh?
[13:10] (Flashback) Ten
    Shall we put it to the test, then?
[13:14] (Flashback) Ten
    Will your students choose
    to die in vain with you,
[13:20] (Flashback) Ten
    or will they
[13:22] (Flashback) Ten
    choose to live on, even if they have to
    kill their teacher with their own hands?
[13:30] (Flashback) Ten
    It's the perfect execution for an
    educator like you, don't you think?
[13:35] (Flashback) Ten
    Pick whichever you like,
    your teacher or your friends.
[14:09] (Flashback) Sho
    Gintoki, I leave the rest to you.
[14:14] (Flashback) Sho
    Protect your friends... Protect everyone.
[14:20] (Flashback) Tak
    Gintoki, if I die...
[14:24] (Flashback) Tak
    Take care of Sensei.
[14:27] (Flashback) Tak
    This is a favor I can only ask
    of a fellow good-for-nothing.
[14:31] (Flashback) Gin
    Then I've got a favor to ask
    of a good-for-nothing, too.
[14:35] (Flashback) Gin
    Don't die.
[14:56] Tak
    Gintoki!
[15:05] (Flashback) Tak
    N-No, Gintoki!
[15:10] (Flashback) Tak
    Please!
[15:25] (Flashback) Tak
    Please stop!
[15:47] (Flashback) Tak
    N-No, Gintoki!
[15:51] (Flashback) Tak
    Please!
[15:58] (Flashback) Sho
    Thank you.
[16:57] (Flashback) Tak
    Gintoki!
[17:09] (Flashback) Obo
    Don't waste your lives after
    your teacher saved them.
[17:16] (Flashback) Ten
    Are you really going to send them back alive?
[17:20] (Flashback) Ten
    Did you take pity on that man, Oboro?
[17:25] (Flashback) Obo
    These men have lost everything
    they wanted to protect.
[17:29] (Flashback) Obo
    For samurai, that is no different from dying.
[17:33] (Flashback) Obo
    What's more, they destroyed it with their
    own hands, due to their own weakness.
[17:41] (Flashback) Obo
    They're not even worth killing.
[17:43] (Flashback) Obo
    They'll probably never hold a sword again.
[17:55] Tak
    The last thing I saw with my left eye
[18:08] Tak
    was your face.
[18:12] Tak
    If the enemy burned into
    this eye had been the bakufu,
[18:17] Tak
    everything would be so much easier.
[18:26] Tak
    Our sworn enemy is ourselves.
[18:32] Tak
    Even though we fought to save him,
[18:38] Tak
    we were so weak, we had to use his
    life as a stepping stone to survive...
[18:44] Tak
    And we made you bear that cross.
[18:50] Tak
    Every time I remember your
    face etched into this eye,
[18:54] Tak
    the scar throbs and bays for blood.
[18:58] Tak
    "Why won't you avenge Sensei?"
[19:02] Tak
    "You can put an end to everything by
    piercing that chest with a sword!"
[19:10] Tak
    And that's exactly right.
[19:12] Tak
    We weren't meant to survive.
[19:16] Tak
    Why did you come to save us?
[19:20] Tak
    Why didn't you abandon us and save Sensei?
[19:25] Tak
    I'm sure you could've done it.
[19:28] Tak
    You promised me back then.
[19:32] Tak
    And you must've wanted to
    save him more than anyone.
[19:39] Tak
    So why...
[19:41] Tak
    Why?
[19:44] Tak
    Why did you choose us, Gintoki?!
[19:53] Gin
    If you'd been in my shoes back then,
    you would've done the same.
[19:59] Gin
    That's why you point your sword at me.
[20:04] Gin
    That's why you slash not
    yourself, but your alter ego.
[20:11] Gin
    That's why you seek a revenge that'd
    hurt you far more than cutting yourself.
[20:18] Gin
    Well, too bad for you.
[20:21] Gin
    I...
[20:22] Gin
    I, your alter ego, won't go down.
[20:28] Gin
    Until you fall, and until you stop,
    I'll stand up as many times as it takes.
[20:37] Gin
    Takasugi, I don't recall ever choosing you.
[20:43] Gin
    It's just that while I knew
    well what you held dear,
[20:46] Gin
    I knew what he held dear all too well.
[20:52] Gin
    Even if I have to walk
    over my teacher's corpse,
[20:57] Gin
    and even if I have to walk over your corpse,
[21:00] Gin
    I'll protect the soul of his student, our friend,
    and Shoka Sonjuku's Takasugi Shinsuke!
[21:11] Gin
    I'm Sakata Gintoki,
    disciple of Yoshida Shoyo!
[21:19] Tak
    I'm amazed you can still say that now...
[21:25] Tak
    I see. I had no idea.
[21:30] Tak
    I haven't been expelled yet, have I?
[21:50] Obo
    I thought I told you
[21:55] Obo
    not to waste your lives after
    your teacher saved them.
[22:03] Obo
    The Yatagarasu's prophecies
    offer no second chances,
[22:07] Obo
    Shoyo's disciples.
