[00:00] Gin
    We're the only ones who can stop us now.
[00:05] Tak
    The guy I have to swing my fist at
[00:09] Tak
    is still burned into the back of my eyelid.
[00:12] Gin
    I'll protect the soul of his student, our friend,
    and Shoka Sonjuku's Takasugi Shinsuke!
[00:22] Gin
    I'm Sakata Gintoki,
    disciple of Yoshida Shoyo!
[00:28] Tak
    I see. I had no idea.
[00:32] Tak
    I haven't been expelled yet, have I?
[00:41] Obo
    I thought I told you
[00:44] Obo
    not to waste your lives after
    your teacher saved them.

[02:42] Kag
    Ka...mui...
[02:49] Kam
    What's the matter?
    You can't stop me like that.
[02:53] Kam
    Targeting your opponent's injuries
    without hesitation was good,
[02:58] Kam
    but you were still about 100 steps
    short to mess around with me.
[03:08] Kag
    Maybe for you, since you
    have short legs like Papi.
[03:12] Kag
    But like Mommy, I have a model's figure,
[03:16] Kag
    so one step is enough!
[03:17] Kag
    This fight's just getting started,
    moronic brother of mine!
[03:26] Kam
    Sheesh. You are truly a fool, sister of mine.
[03:29] Kam
    "Know thyself, and know thy enemy,"
    is a basic tenet of battle.
[03:34] Kam
    Take a good look at the length of thy legs,
[03:38] Kam
    and then thy enemy.
[03:51] Kam
    The enemy isn't always right
    in front of your eyes.
[04:00] Kag
    Th-These guys...
[04:18] Rap
    Looks like this is it.
[04:21] Rap
    Forgive me.
[04:23] Rap
    I'm sure you samurai wanted to go out in
    a blaze of glory by the shogun's side.
[04:29] Rap
    But we made you die out in
    the shadows, along with us.
[04:37] Hij
    If I'm just gonna end
    up as fertilizer anyway,
[04:39] Hij
    I don't care if my path there
    is paved by roses or thorns.
[04:44] Hij
    All that matters is that
    I die by my general's side.
[04:50] Kon
    Well said.
[04:51] Kon
    Then try protecting my
    back to the last, Toshi.
[04:57] Kon
    As long as I'm not dead, you're not
    gonna die on me either, now are you?
[05:03] Hij
    Jeez.
[05:05] Hij
    Then I ask that you take
    your leave at the earliest.
[05:08] Rap
    Rest assured.
[05:10] Rap
    No matter who dies first, I'll use my
    puppetteering skill to control the corpse.
[05:17] Kon
    If that's a joke, it ain't funny.
[05:20] Kon
    Let's do this.
[05:21] Kon
    We'll show them the last stand
    of the samurai and ninjas!
[05:43] Kon
    Th-That's...
[05:49] Kon
    Is that ship...
[05:54] Shin
    Shogun-sama! Everyone!
[05:56] Shin
    We're almost there! Hang in
    there for just a little longer!
[06:00] Shin
    There's the exit!
[06:02] Shin
    With this, the shogun will be...
[06:20] Ten
    Great job.
[06:24] Ten
    Your heroic acts are truly worthy of praise.
[06:29] Ten
    You did well to protect Lord
    Shigeshige from the rebels.
[06:35] Ten
    You are truly loyal retainers.
[06:40] Sho
    T-Tendoshu...
[06:46] Abu
    I see.
[06:48] Abu
    They knew everything, but
    they played the silent observer
[06:52] Abu
    and waited for this chance.
[06:57] Abu
    When we, the Hitotsubashi faction, and the
    Shogun faction had worn each other out,
[07:00] Abu
    they would swoop in for the kill.
[07:05] Abu
    Damn those corpse-eating crows.
[07:08] Abu
    Did they think they could
    pluck out our eyeballs now?
[07:12] Abu
    Bring it.
[07:14] Abu
    I hope you didn't think you'd get off
    easy after butting into a Yato battle.
[07:19] G
    Vice Commander!
[07:20] G
    Urgent message from the squadron
    on standby just off Earth!
[07:24] Abu
    What is it?
[07:25] Abu
    Don't tell me the crows flew
    all the way into space.
[07:28] G
    No, it's the Harusame!
[07:31] G
    Our squadron has been surrounded
    by a Harusame fleet!
[07:36] Abu
    Good grief. They've even got the
    Elders in their pocket, huh?
[07:41] Abu
    Commander...
[07:45] Abu
    It seems we were a bit too mischievous.
[07:52] Ten
    You all have fulfilled your roles.
[07:56] Ten
    We shall ensure Lord Shigeshige's safety.
[08:00] Ten
    Do not worry. You can leave the rest to us.
[08:06] Zen
    Not so fast!
[08:09] Zen
    All this time, you did nothing but wait
    for the chance to crush the opposition,
[08:16] Zen
    and now you want to take
    custody of the shogun?
[08:19] Zen
    After the Hitotsubashi,
[08:21] Zen
    you're looking to dispose of the shogun,
    because he's stopped listening to you?
[08:26] Ten
    Crush the Hitotsubashi faction?
[08:30] Ten
    I haven't the faintest idea
    what you're talking about.
[08:33] Ten
    Never mind being on hostile terms with
    Lord Hitotsubashi, we're indebted to him.
[08:39] Ten
    Lord Shigeshige, you should
    be grateful to him, too.
[08:44] Ten
    Do you remember?
[08:46] Ten
    You tried to leave your post
    as shogun by submitting
SIGN    Resignation Letter
[08:51] Ten
    your resignation letter.
[08:54] Ten
    Because there was nobody fit to succeed
    you back then, it was put on hold,
SIGN    Resignation Letter
[09:01] Ten
    but now that a suitable candidate to take
    the reins of the country has been found,
[09:07] Ten
    the Emperor has accepted your resignation.
[09:10] Ten
    I give you the next shogun,
[09:14] Ten
    Lord Hitotsubashi Nobunobu,
[09:17] Ten
    henceforth known as Lord Tokugawa Nobunobu.
[09:21] Shin
    N-No way...
[09:24] Shin
    Why?
[09:26] Shin
    He was the flag-bearer of the Hitotsubashi's
    attempt to take over the bakufu,
[09:30] Shin
    so why'd he team up with the
    Tendoshu to crush his own faction?!
[09:37] Nbnb
    Kill them...
[09:39] Nbnb
    I am the shogun, your great leader.
[09:45] Nbnb
    The ones who insulted me,
[09:49] Nbnb
    and the ones who stand in my way...
[09:52] Nbnb
    Kill them all!
[09:56] Nbnb
    I am the shogun, Tokugawa Nobunobu!
[10:05] Obo
    That tool you prepared
    was unexpectedly shrewd.
[10:12] Obo
    In order to oppose the Tendoshu, you carried
    him so far and gave him so much power.
[10:19] Obo
    But the moment we told
    him we'd make him shogun,
[10:22] Obo
    he discarded you as an enemy
    without a second thought.
[10:26] Obo
    How stupid.
[10:28] Obo
    You wanted to use your foolish king,
[10:31] Obo
    but ended up being used by him instead.
[10:33] Obo
    You defied the heavens, and this
    is all you have to show for it?
[10:37] Obo
    The shogun you pinned your ambitions on
[10:40] Obo
    and the shogun you pinned
    your hopes on are both gone.
[10:45] Obo
    All that's left is a puppet of the heavens.
[10:51] Nbnb
    What are you doing?
[10:51] Zen
    You took in the enemy's flag-bearer,
[10:55] Zen
    and at the same time made him your puppet?
[10:55] Nbnb
    Hurry up, you fools!
[10:58] Nbnb
    Kill them!
[10:58] Zen
    I'm not sure he can even
    function as a puppet, though.
[11:00] Nbnb
    Are you defying an order from your shogun?!
[11:02] Ten
    Calm down, Lord Nobunobu.
[11:05] Ten
    The crows will soon get rid
    of the remaining enemies.
[11:10] Ten
    Besides, nobody can stand
    in your way anymore.
[11:15] Ten
    Not even the former shogun.
[11:20] Ten
    Now, hand over Lord Shigeshige.
[11:24] Ten
    You should've realized by now that
    your worst fears won't come to pass.
[11:30] Zen
    It makes even less sense
    to hand him over now.
[11:33] Zen
    Even if he has resigned from the post,
[11:37] Zen
    it doesn't change the fact that the shogun
    is the biggest obstacle in Nobunobu's way.
[11:45] Ten
    What? Are you saying you
    refuse to hand him over?
[11:49] Ten
    You don't need me to tell you this,
    but this is an order from Lord Nobunobu.
[11:52] Ten
    An order from the new shogun.
[11:55] Ten
    Do you know what will happen
    if you don't obey it?
[12:00] Ten
    You're loyal retainers who
    protected Lord Shigeshige's life.
[12:04] Ten
    We don't want to have to kill
    you here along with the enemy.
[12:08] Ten
    Please don't force our hand.
[12:22] Shin
    Shogun-sama?
[12:26] Ten
    Take Lord Shigeshige into custody.
[12:30] Sho
    Stand down.
[12:33] Sho
    You disrespect me.
[12:34] Sho
    I said, stand down.
[12:37] Sho
    Are you aware of who I am?
[12:40] Sho
    I am the shogun, Tokugawa Shigeshige.
[12:46] Shin
    Shogun-sama...
[12:49] Ten
    Lord Shigeshige, you are no longer—
[12:51] Sho
    Did you not hear me?
[12:53] Sho
    I'm saying I'm the shogun.
[12:57] Sho
    And nobody can order the shogun around.
[12:59] Sho
    Leave my sight at once.
[13:01] Zen
    Shogun, you...
[13:04] Sho
    Forgive me, Zenzo.
[13:07] Sho
    You people put your lives
    on the line to protect me.
[13:11] Sho
    Even when I was no longer shogun,
[13:13] Sho
    you tried to protect me simply
    as Tokugawa Shigeshige, a friend.
[13:18] Sho
    And that is exactly why I must
    continue to be the shogun.
[13:25] Sho
    So as to not waste the lives that
    were lost for me and this country,
[13:30] Sho
    I cannot run away from my battle.
[13:35] Sho
    I am the shogun, Tokugawa Shigeshige.
[13:39] Sho
    The man who protects this
    country where my friends live!
[13:49] Nbnb
    And to fulfill that goal, you'll even
    endure the deaths of your friends here?
[13:55] Nbnb
    Very well, Shigeshige!
[13:57] Nbnb
    I shall grant your wish!
[14:01] Sho
    Lord Nobunobu,
[14:04] Sho
    the friends of a real shogun
    aren't as weak as you think.
[14:10] Nb
    Shut it!
[14:12] Nb
    Your friends have been rendered useless!
[14:16] Obo
    Your swords won't reach the heavens anymore.
[14:20] Obo
    No, they were broken a long time ago.
[14:26] Obo
    So why is it, White Yaksha?
[14:31] Obo
    Why do you still grip that
    broken sword of yours?
[14:36] Obo
    You killed your teacher, and
    even battled your former friend.
[14:42] Obo
    Just what is it
[14:47] Obo
    that you are trying to fight?
[14:52] Gin
    My enemy is right here.
[14:57] Gin
    We've never changed.
[15:01] Gin
    In order to become the kind
    of samurai we want to be,
[15:09] Gin
    we've all been fighting our own selves.
[15:13] Gin
    I can't accept his brand
    of samurai or his methods.
[15:21] Gin
    I'll stop him, even if it
    means having to kill him.
[15:27] Gin
    But I'm also the one who understands
    how he feels better than anyone else
[15:34] Gin
    in this world!
[15:37] Gin
    We hated the same thing more than
    anything else in this world.
[15:41] Gin
    You guys have no right to kill him.
[15:47] Gin
    Be it killing him or protecting him,
[15:50] Gin
    they're both my job!
[15:53] Gin
    That is my brand of samurai!
[16:01] Obo
    You really should've died back then.
[16:05] Obo
    Shoyo must be crying in the afterlife.
[16:08] Obo
    The students he gave his life to save
[16:12] Obo
    are burning with hatred because of him,
[16:15] Obo
    and throwing away their lives.
[16:19] Obo
    Farewell, Shoyo's disciples.
[16:23] Obo
    Go home, to your teacher and your friends.
[16:37] Gin
    Don't take Shoyo's...
[16:41] Gin
    ...name in vain!
[16:57] Tak
    Make sure you burn this into your memory, too.
[17:03] Tak
    Remember the last face you saw with that eye.
[17:06] Tak
    Was it mine,
[17:08] Tak
    or his?
[17:11] Tak
    Even if one of us dies here,
[17:14] Tak
    the other will definitely send you to Hell.
[17:25] Obo
    Survive?
[17:28] Obo
    You're both fated to die here!
[17:40] Kag
    Too bad.
[17:42] Kag
    Neither of them's gonna die.
[17:44] Kag
    Because they're both for me to kill.
[17:47] Kag
    Shinsuke, I can't have you dying here.
[17:51] Kag
    You promised to fight me as soon
    as I repaid my debt, remember?
[17:55] Kag
    I won't let anybody kill Gin-chan.
[17:58] Kag
    That includes you, Kamui.
[18:01] Kam
    Then try to make it out of this alive.
[18:05] Kam
    Prove that you are strong.
[18:17] Sho
    Lord Nobunobu.
[18:19] Sho
    No matter who you are,
[18:21] Sho
    I'm not about to take orders from you.
[18:26] Sho
    I shall return to my country
    with my own two feet.
[18:33] Sho
    Along with my friends.
[18:37] Ten
    It can't be...
[18:40] Mat
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Sho-chan.
[18:48] Oki
    It's a bit too early to be picking at corpses,
[18:51] Oki
    you crows.
[18:57] Oki
    They're not dead yet.
[18:59] Oki
    The shogun, and this country, still has us.
[19:05] Oki
    As long as the Shinsengumi are around,
[19:08] Oki
    this country won't go down easily.
[19:12] Oki
    Isn't that right, Kondo-san, Hijikata-san?

    People have more freedom than they think.

SIGN    Pay close attention!
SIGN    Teach Us!!
SIGN    Ginpachi-sensei
[21:21] Gin
    Teach us...
[21:22] All
    Ginpachi-sensei!
[21:25] Gin
    Yeah, we're actually doing
    Ginpachi-sensei here.
[21:30] Gin
    Let's get right to reading fan mail.
[21:33] Gin
    Here's a question from pen name Gorilla
    Gorilla Gorilla (subject to change).
[21:37] Gin
    Two episodes ago,
[21:38] Gin
    it came to light that Gintoki became Shoyo's
    student before Takasugi and Katsura.
[21:45] Gin
    But in Gintama: The Movie:
    Benizakura Arc Retelling,
[21:48] Gin
    there's a scene where it looks
    like Takasugi and Katsura
[21:52] Gin
    are already in Shoka Sonjuku when Gintoki
    shows up like a transfer student.
[21:56] Gin
    Was that an error?
[21:58] Gin
    What happened to consistency?
[22:01] Gin
    Please tell me.
[22:04] Gin
    Yeah, when we made the
    Benizakura Arc Retelling,
[22:07] Gin
    we had no idea this was gonna happen.
[22:10] Gin
    We're so sorry!
[22:12] Gin
    If you were expecting that kind of
    answer, we're sorry to disappoint.
[22:15] Gin
    That stuff is perfectly consistent, too.
[22:17] Gin
    Let's look back at the scene
    in question, and I'll explain.
[22:36] Gin
    Yes, it does look like Katsura and
    Takasugi have already joined the school
[22:42] Gin
    when Shoyo brings Gintoki along.
[22:44] Gin
    But as you could tell
    by watching it just now,
[22:46] Gin
    this scene isn't voiced, is it?
[22:49] Gin
    In anime and video production,
[22:51] Gin
    it's fairly common for fully made scenes
    to get shortened due to time constraints.
[22:56] Gin
    So we'll take the scene in question and
    add the voices it was meant to have.
[23:01] Gin
    Let's watch it again and find
    out what really happened.
[23:06] Sho
    Listen up, kids.
[23:09] Sho
    Gintoki-kun lost his underwear.
[23:11] Sho
    Don't ask why.
[23:12] Sho
    If anyone has spare underwear or a
    loincloth, please lend them to him.
[23:16] Kat
    I'd rather not.
[23:18] Tak
    Don't wanna.
[23:19] Sho
    Is that so?
[23:23] Sho
    Gintoki.
[23:25] Sho
    Use this to wipe your ass once
    more and get back to class.
[23:31] Gin
    Well, there you have it.
[23:33] Gin
    That was actually a scene
    where Gintoki poops his pants
[23:37] Gin
    and gets humiliated in public.
[23:39] Gin
    With the added voices,
    I'm sure you're convinced now.
[23:44] Gin
    And that's all, folks.
SIGN    The End
SIGN    Now then, next week marks
SIGN    the end of the Shogun Assassination Arc.
