[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.
