[00:09] Ymz
    Yamazaki Sagaru's observation report:
[00:14] Ymz
    As a Shinsengumi inspector,
    I've performed stakeouts at many locations
[00:19] Ymz
    and have written observation reports on them,
[00:22] Ymz
    but never did I imagine
[00:24] Ymz
    that the last report I'd ever
    write would be on this place...
SIGN    Shinsengumi
[00:32] Sign
    The gang of degenerates that
    plotted to overthrow the bakufu,
[00:35] Sign
    Shinsengumi.
[00:38] Sign
    That name may well go down in
    history as a group of traitors.
[00:44] Sign
    In case that day does come,
    I record the truth here so—
[00:49] Sign
    No, the truth is...
[00:56] Sign
    To be honest, I don't even know
    if what we did was good or bad.
[01:06] Sign
    But there is one thing I can say for sure.
[01:10] Sign
    We don't care whether we're
    called loyalists or traitors.
[01:18] Sign
    We just wanted to be
[01:21] Sign
    Shinsengumi with him.

[03:15] Mat
    Don't look back!
[03:18] Mat
    Keep moving, looking nowhere but forward!
[03:21] Mat
    No matter what...
[03:24] Mat
    We must escape!
[03:28] Ymz
    The Mimawarigumi,
[03:30] Ymz
    and the Katsura-led Joi Rebels...
[03:34] Ymz
    With help from several parties,
[03:37] Ymz
    we shook free of the
    Naraku's persistent pursuit
[03:42] Ymz
    and barely managed to
    escape from Kokujo Island,
[03:48] Ymz
    successfully rescuing Chief Kondo.
[03:53] Ymz
    But it came at a huge cost.
[04:04] Kon
    Toshi...
[04:06] Kon
    Did either he or I really have to die?
[04:09] Kon
    Was there no other way?
[04:13] Kon
    Instead of just black and white,
[04:15] Kon
    couldn't I have worked with him
    to bring out a different color?
[04:22] Hij
    Kondo-san,
[04:24] Hij
    the colors have already mixed.
[04:29] Hij
    We have to wear a shade of black that
    has various other colors mixed in
[04:32] Hij
    and keep moving forward.
[04:36] Hij
    That's our duty as survivors.
[04:47] Tet
    I had no idea
[04:50] Tet
    that my brother had someone
    who would shed tears for him.
[04:55] Tet
    I was related to him by blood,
[04:58] Tet
    but I never understood Sasaki Isaburo at all.
[05:04] Tet
    It seems I didn't know him
    well enough to cry for him.
[05:09] Tet
    I found people I could call brothers
    where my brother dumped me.
[05:16] Tet
    I met comrades I could call family despite
    having no blood relation with them.
[05:22] Tet
    And yet, I don't know why...
[05:26] Tet
    But the first person I
    wanted to show them off to
[05:32] Tet
    was him, after all.
[05:38] Tet
    If possible,
[05:43] Tet
    I wanted to see all of my brothers
[05:47] Tet
    having a heart-to-heart.

[06:00] (Flashback) Sas
    Have you been receiving my emails?
[06:05] (Flashback) Sas
    Nobume-san, you are truly discourteous.
[06:10] (Flashback) Sas
    If you don't reply to my
    emails once in a while,
[06:14] (Flashback) Sas
    then even as an elite,
[06:15] (Flashback) Sas
    I'm going to end up sulking, yo.
[06:28] Kon
    Pay your respects to the
    Commissioner-General!
[06:52] Nob
    Isaburo...
[06:55] Nob
    Thank you for giving me
[06:58] [Messenger] ---
    Isaburo...
    Thank you for giving me
    such a wonderful name, yo.
[07:00] Nob
    such a wonderful name, yo.
[07:07] Ymz
    Sasaki Isaburo vanished into the darkness,
    never to see the light of dawn again.
[07:13] Ymz
    But his struggles opened the
    door for change, if only a bit.
[07:19] Ymz
    The unprecedented revolt that
    came from the heart of the bakufu
[07:23] Ymz
    would shake the newly formed
    government to its very core.
[07:27] Ymz
    The mastermind was the
    Commissioner-General of Police.
[07:30] Ymz
    And while they had been manipulated,
[07:32] Ymz
    a lot of police organizations
    took part in the revolt.
[07:37] Ymz
    When Shogun Nobunobu heard the
    news, he flew into a fit of rage.
[07:40] Ymz
    He crushed every police organization that
    had been under the influence of Sasaki
[07:44] Ymz
    and decided to reform the police
    system from the ground up.
[07:49] Ymz
    Those who had begun to doubt Nobunobu's
    methods because of that started to fall apart,
[07:56] Ymz
    and Lord Matsudaira, who had
    anticipated this all along,
[07:59] Ymz
    secretly took them under his wing
[08:02] Ymz
    and meticulously absorbed them
[08:04] Ymz
    into the anti-bakufu faction
    Lord Shigeshige had founded.
[08:09] Ymz
    A mere three months after the
    establishment of the new government,
[08:12] Ymz
    as the people's trust in
    the bakufu kept falling,
[08:16] Ymz
    it started a groundswell of
    sentiment in favor of upheaval.
[08:36] HB2
    Wait, wait!
[08:38] HB2
    That's reckless!
[08:39] HB2
    You can't go back home, Otae-san!
[08:43] HB2
    Did you forget that you got into
    a huge fight with the shogun?!
[08:48] HB2
    So what if that stupid lord
    is preoccupied right now?!
[08:52] Tae
    But I can't continue to
    trouble you all any longer.
[08:57] Tae
    Kozenigata-san's wounds have healed,
[08:59] Tae
    so he doesn't need my help anymore.
[09:01] Tae
    I think it's about time.
[09:02] HB2
    No, no!
[09:03] HB2
    Boss took an injury to the
    head that won't ever heal,
[09:06] HB2
    his heart's in tatters due
    to his wife running away,
[09:09] HB2
    his feet stink,
[09:10] HB2
    and his breath stinks!
[09:12] HB2
    Please look after him a while longer!
[09:18] HB1
    He's right, Otae-chan!
[09:20] HB1
    Even though my wound had almost
    healed, it opened up again just now.
[09:23] HB1
    Feel free to stay as long as you like!
[09:26] HB2
    Besides, if something were to happen,
[09:27] HB2
    the police force is hardly
    functional right now!
[09:30] HB2
    It's too dangerous!
[09:32] Tae
    Yes.
[09:34] Tae
    That's exactly why police need
    to go back to doing their jobs,
[09:38] Tae
    and cabaret girls have to
    go back to doing theirs.
[09:42] Tae
    If you're ever worn out from work
    again, please stop by the bar.
[09:45] Tae
    I'll give you special treatment.
[09:47] Tae
    Thank you for having me.
[09:49] HB2
    Wait, Otae-san—
[09:51] HB1
    Haji.
[09:52] HB1
    That's enough.
[09:54] HB1
    She'll be all right now.
[10:00] HB1
    They must have come back...
[10:04] HB1
    Her police.
[10:24] Tae
    Don't you think it's high
    time you stopped doing this?
[10:34] Tae
    You'll catch a cold.
[10:40] Kon
    Why'd you have to say something
    like that today, of all days?
[10:50] Kon
    I wish you'd acted like usual,
[10:51] Kon
    called me a perverted stalker,
[10:54] Kon
    and hit me like you always do.
[11:00] Kon
    You're making it hard to say goodbye.
[11:20] Hij
    Abscond from Edo?
[11:24] Hij
    You're telling the
    Shinsengumi to abandon Edo?
[11:28] Kat
    Given the political situation,
    if you stay in Edo,
[11:30] Kat
    the lives of Kondo and
    Matsudaira that you just saved,
[11:33] Kat
    and even your own, will be danger.
[11:36] Kat
    Dying without achieving a thing
[11:39] Kat
    is what would count as truly
    abandoning Edo, Hijikata.
[11:44] Kat
    Nobunobu definitely won't leave you alive.
[11:47] Kat
    If he let the rebels who embarrassed the
    bakufu and destroyed its image walk free,
[11:53] Kat
    the new government would crumble.
[11:55] Kat
    He must be desperately looking
    for you right about now.
[12:00] Kat
    At this point, Matsudaira and you Shinsengumi
[12:02] Kat
    are symbols of the revolutionary faction.
[12:06] Kat
    Should these symbols be lost yet again,
[12:08] Kat
    the flame of revolution trying to change
    this country will surely die out this time.
[12:13] Kat
    If you truly love this country,
[12:15] Kat
    you must leave it for now
    and focus on staying alive.
[12:23] Ymz
    Our role is to leave the political center,
[12:26] Ymz
    stir up revolutionaries all
    over the country, take them in,
[12:30] Ymz
    and secure the revolutionary faction's
    foundation as its nucleus.
[12:35] Ymz
    Abandoning Edo to protect it...
[12:39] Ymz
    While we understood the reasoning,
[12:40] Ymz
    it was difficult for our hearts to accept it.
[12:44] Ymz
    Because it meant parting with the
    people we'd protected all this while.
[12:55] Ymz
    Because it meant parting with the people
    who'd supported us all this while.
[13:02] Ymz
    And because
[13:07] Ymz
    it meant our parting as Shinsengumi.
[13:19] Hij
    We knew things would end up this
    way, but it's still ironic.
SIGN    Set Meals
[13:24] Hij
    We always fought to remain the
    Shinsengumi, no matter what happened.
[13:28] Hij
    And yet, because of that, we can't
    remain the Shinsengumi anymore?
[13:33] Gin
    So Zura tricked you and sucked you dry, huh?
[13:36] Gin
    This is why I told you to
    be wary of that con man.
[13:40] Hij
    What are you going to do?
[13:43] Hij
    You helped us out,
[13:46] Hij
    so you can't stay in Edo anymore, either.
[13:51] Gin
    If even Odd Jobs left after you guys,
[13:55] Gin
    it'd make the people of Edo sad,
[13:57] Gin
    wouldn't it, lady?
[14:02] Hij
    You're saying you'll stay?
[14:05] Hij
    Do you really understand the situation?
[14:07] Hij
    Edo no longer has...
[14:13] Hij
    That's exactly why, huh?
[14:17] Oki
    Boss is staying because Edo has lost the
    Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi, right?
[14:24] Oki
    If you stay behind for us,
[14:27] Oki
    we'll be able to leave Edo without worry, huh?
[14:32] Oki
    You've gotta be kidding me.
[14:35] Oki
    Be it our general or yours,
[14:39] Oki
    I can't let anyone else die.
[14:43] Kag
    What, are you saying we can't
    protect Edo by ourselves?
[14:48] Kag
    Do you wanna see for yourself, then?
[14:55] Oki
    The hell are you doing?!
[14:57] Oki
    I'm not completely healed yet!
[14:58] Kag
    What the hell did you come here for?
[15:01] Kag
    Are you here to meekly say goodbye?
[15:04] Kag
    Who, you?
[15:06] Kag
    Don't you have something else
    to do before worrying about us?
[15:10] Kag
    Both our groups are in equal danger.
[15:13] Kag
    But looking at how you're acting, you
    guys seem likelier to drop dead first.
[15:22] Oki
    You're right.
[15:24] Oki
    I'd forgotten that I needed to clear
    something up before leaving Edo...
[15:32] Oki
    Which of us is stronger!
[15:35] Kag
    Exactly!
[15:41] Tae
    There's no need for goodbyes.
[15:49] Tae
    After all, so long as you're around,
[15:51] Tae
    the Shinsengumi will carry on,
    no matter where you all go.
[15:56] Tae
    After all, wherever you may be,
[15:58] Tae
    you'll be fighting to protect Edo and all of us,
[16:03] Tae
    and I know that.
[16:06] Tae
    So please don't look so gloomy.
[16:10] Tae
    Leave with your head held high
    and a smile on your face.
[16:15] Tae
    If you don't, I won't be able
    to keep my promise to Shin-chan.
[16:20] Tae
    I won't be able to say "take
    care" or "welcome back."
[16:31] Shin
    When you come back this time,
[16:34] Shin
    don't do it from above the
    ceiling or under the overhang.
[16:37] Shin
    Waltz in through the front gate.
[16:42] Shin
    We'd be more than happy
    to offer you some tea.
[16:47] Hij
    I've got some good alcohol stocked up there.
[16:51] Hij
    I don't like drinking in a big group,
[16:53] Hij
    so I often came here and drank by myself.
[16:58] Hij
    You can have it.
[17:00] Hij
    They're expensive, so
    drink them one at a time.
[17:04] Hij
    By the time you've finished all of them,
[17:06] Hij
    I'll be back.
[17:08] Hij
    And I'll repay the rest of the debt then.
[17:12] Gin
    I'll gladly take the booze,
[17:14] Gin
    but I don't recall ever doing you a favor.
[17:18] Hij
    Oh, you did.
[17:20] Hij
    Your faulty brain may have forgotten,
[17:23] Hij
    but I remember.
[17:26] Hij
    I'll never forget.
[17:29] Gin
    Even if I did, you repaid me a long time ago.
[17:44] Gin
    I'm the one who got help recovering
    something he'd forgotten.
[17:51] Gin
    So don't come back carrying
    some debt to be repaid.
[17:55] Gin
    Bring back a bottle of booze,
[17:57] Gin
    not to drink alone, but to
    be shared with a big group.
[18:00] Gin
    That's more than enough.
[18:03] L
    Here you are. Your usual.
[18:06] L
    One Uji Gintoki bowl and
    one Hijikata Special.
[18:11] L
    Huh? What's the matter, you two?
[18:14] L
    Not eating?
[18:17] Gin
    Nah...
[18:17] Gin
    Sorry, lady, but today...
[18:22] Bo
    It's the other way around.
[18:33] Kag
    Looks like we've both got a ways to go.
[18:38] Oki
    Well, duh.
[18:40] Oki
    We couldn't do a thing against
    that incomprehensible crow.
[18:46] Oki
    But keep this in mind.
[18:48] Oki
    By the next time we meet,
[18:51] Oki
    I will be stronger than you and that crow!
[18:54] Oki
    So make sure you...
[19:01] Bo
    Don't lose to anyone else!
[19:16] Bo
    That was awful.
[19:49] Kon
    I'll be back.
[19:58] Tae
    Take care.
[20:13] Kon
    No education, no status.
[20:16] Kon
    The only thing we can trust
    is our own swords.
[20:19] Kon
    And we want to make a name
    for ourselves using them.
[20:22] Kon
    So we gathered in Edo.
[20:25] Kon
    Today, we will have to leave it,
[20:29] Kon
    but our dreams won't end here.
[20:33] Kon
    Let's come back, no matter what,
[20:36] Kon
    to the Shinsengumi's home.
[20:40] Kon
    We'll swear it as many times as it takes.
[20:43] Kon
    We're gonna become samurai here in Edo!
[23:27] Ymz
    That's right.
[23:29] Ymz
    The Shinsengumi's dream
    is only just beginning.
[23:35] Ymz
    The end of our true path
    is still far, far away.
