[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? SIGN    Next episode, SIGN    the Shogun Assassination Arc SIGN    reaches its end. [19:23] Kag     Outta the way! [19:25] Y     People have more freedom than they think. [19:30] Obo     Struggle all you want. [19:33] Sho     I shall gladly be the last shogun. SIGN    As a person, [19:39] Gin     Before dawn. [19:41] Gin     The night is darkest just before the dawn. [19:45] Gin     But keep your eyes open. SIGN    Tokugawa Shigeshige makes his decision. 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.
