[00:08] Gin
    Here we are.
[00:10] Gin
    It's the late night slot.
SIGN    Late
    Night
SIGN    Goodbye, Red-Haired Esper
SIGN    The Goddess of the Night
SIGN    "No Airing the Nitty-Gritties of Ketsuno Ana!"
    
    After predicting heavy rain once again for tonight,
    
    Ketsuno Ana does a surprise raid on Snack Bar Smile"
[00:15] Kag
    This place is kinda dusty.
[00:17] Gin
    Deal with it.
[00:19] Kag
    What's this?
[00:20] Gin
    Probably something the previous
    occupant left behind.
SIGN    To the Late Night Slot
[00:23] Gin
    Now, then...
[00:25] Gin
    Shinpachi.
[00:26] Shin
    Yes?
[00:27] Gin
    This is a late night slot.
[00:29] Gin
    We'll need to greet the
    viewers appropriately.
[00:30] Shin
    Right.
[00:32] Gin
    Hello to all you night owls
    watching the television.
[00:35] Gin
    The Gintama anime will now resume
    in its late night incarnation.
[00:38] Gin
    One, two...
[00:40] Gin
    Gilgamesh!
[00:41] Shin
    You just wanted to do that, didn't you?!
SIGN    Please watch this program in a bright room
    and at a safe distance from your TV!!!!!!
[00:49] (Flashback) Gin
    Ow...
[00:50] (Flashback) Gin
    Damn, not yet.
[00:52] (Flashback) Gin
    My sword ain't broken yet.
[00:56] (Flashback) Gin
    One more time,
[00:58] (Flashback) Gin
    Shoyo!
[01:06] (Flashback) Sho
    You nearly had me there, Gintoki.
[01:08] (Flashback) Gin
    Where, exactly?
[01:10] (Flashback) Sho
    There.
[01:11] (Flashback) Gin
    Could you be more specific?
[01:12] (Flashback) Sho
    Right around there.
[01:14] (Flashback) Gin
    How can I be as strong as you, Shoyo?
[01:18] (Flashback) Gin
    I'd never lost until I met you,
    not even to grown-ups.
[01:22] (Flashback) Gin
    But you're far less simple than a grown-up.
[01:26] (Flashback) Gin
    You're a giant.
[01:27] (Flashback) Sho
    You're wrong, Gintoki. I am...
[01:31] (Flashback) Sho
    a Hanshin fan.
[01:32] (Flashback) Gin
    Would you listen to me?
[01:34] (Flashback) Gin
    I'm saying I've never seen a monster like you.
[01:37] (Flashback) Gin
    What the hell were you up to before we met?
[01:41] (Flashback) Gin
    Who the hell are you?
[01:45] (Flashback) Sho
    You were called the "Corpse-Eating
    Devil," so you should understand.
[01:49] (Flashback) Sho
    There's no difference between a
    monster and the child of a monster.
[01:53] (Flashback) Sho
    They are both inhuman beings that are
    only born within a bloody pool of sin.
[01:58] (Flashback) Sho
    And a monster's sword cannot
    cut another monster.
[02:01] (Flashback) Sho
    So, Gintoki,
[02:03] (Flashback) Sho
    stop trying to grow stronger by imitating me.
[02:07] (Flashback) Sho
    I'm not going to teach you how to
    wield the sword like me, either.
[02:11] (Flashback) Sho
    You have to grow stronger
    than me using your own sword,
[02:14] (Flashback) Sho
    the sword of a human.
[02:18] (Flashback) Sho
    I expect great things from you.
[02:21] (Flashback) Sho
    Someday, hopefully...
[02:24] U
    You'll come cut down the monster that I am.
[02:32] U
    It's too bad.
[02:33] U
    Like I said, a monster's sword...
[02:37] U
    Your sword can't reach me.
[02:52] Gin
    Just a dream, huh?
SIGN    Gintama
SIGN    The Battle on Rakuyo
[04:32] Kat
    Elizabeth! An enemy attack?
[04:33] Gin
    That's right.
[04:35] Gin
    A seriously lethal weapon
    was about to pierce my skull.
[04:38] Kat
    What?
[04:40] Kat
    The evil arm of the bakufu extends all the
    way to this underground town of Akiba?
[04:43] Kat
    But rest assured, Gintoki.
[04:44] Kat
    We will protect your life in hiding.
[04:48] Kat
    Don't let a single rat
    get close to the hideout!
[04:50] Kat
    Don't you dare let anyone
    find out Gintoki is here!
[04:54] Gin
    Even from space, you could
    tell this is a hideout!
[04:56] Gin
    Go look up the word "hiding"
    in the dictionary!
[04:58] Gin
    Like I need all your nasty b*lls
    lined up in that tiny-ass room!
[05:01] Gin
    I never asked you morons to be my bodyguards.
[05:04] Kat
    Even if you didn't, nobody would
    leave their group's ace to die.
[05:08] Gin
    I don't recall becoming any group's ace.
[05:10] Kat
    It's too late to play that card now, Gintoki.
[05:13] Kat
    You charged into Edo Castle,
[05:15] Kat
    got into a huge fight with the bakufu army,
    and threw Lord Sadasada out of power.
[05:18] Kat
    You insulted and harassed the former
    shogun, Shigeshige, many a time,
[05:22] Kat
    and even punched his successor,
    Nobunobu, injuring him gravely.
[05:25] Kat
    You took part in the Shinsengumi's mutiny
[05:27] Kat
    and helped them rescue their commander,
    Kondo Isao, from the bakufu.
[05:31] Kat
    Even among the Joi Rebels, nobody else
    has pulled off so many acts of terror!
[05:35] Kat
    You're a terrorist, and a far more radical
    one than Takasugi and me, at that!
[05:39] Kat
    There's no going back for you at this point.
[05:42] Kat
    You will never have a peaceful life again.
[05:45] Kat
    You won't even be able to hold your
    loved ones with your bloodstained hands!
[05:48] Kat
    The only thing left in those hands
    is a bloody, metallic revolution!
[05:52] Gin
    Uh, you practically sound like a bad guy.
[05:55] Gin
    I never committed any acts of terror.
[05:57] Gin
    I punched a guy who pissed me off, and he
    just happened to represent the country.
[06:01] Gin
    And, since it turned into a big deal,
[06:02] Gin
    I just tried to cut it
    into pieces and bury it.
[06:05] Gin
    Don't lump me in with you lot.
[06:06] G
    Forget terrorist, you're
    just a homicidal maniac!
[06:08] Kat
    Do you think you can go back to the
    Kabuki District once things calm down?
[06:12] Kat
    I hate to break it to you,
    but that's impossible.
[06:14] Gin
    Ack!
[06:15] Gin
    A wanted poster?!
SIGN    If this face triggers your memory, call
[06:16] Gin
    For real? They're circulating these?
[06:19] Gin
    And that photo just screams violence.
[06:21] Gin
    Who took this? And when?
[06:23] Gin
    Isn't this just some
    violent impostor in a wig?
[06:25] Kat
    I'm not an impostor. I'm Katsura.
[06:27] Gin
    It was you?!
[06:29] Kat
    The previous photo made
    you look way too evil,
[06:32] Kat
    so I took your guise, showed off your
    sweet tooth, and had a fancier one taken.
[06:35] Gin
    It's supposed to be me eating cake?
[06:36] Gin
    Just having the cake cut off
    made me look so violent?
[06:40] Kat
    And then I circulated the new one.
[06:42] Gin
    Recall it!
SIGN    If this face triggers your memory, call
[06:43] Kat
    Don't worry. I altered it.
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan Akiba Branch
[06:47] Shin
    We're Odd Jobs Gin-chan,
    and we've expanded into Akiba!
[06:51] Kag
    Need to collect Love Live! bonus items or
    sell off your Love Live! Sunshine!! goods?
[06:55] Kag
    You name it, we'll do it!
[06:57] Kag
    If this face triggers your memory, come see us!
[07:01] Gin
    Can I do this if I get triggered instead?
[07:04] Gin
    Reusing wanted posters as store flyers?
    Could you make this any more violent?!
[07:08] Shin
    Now is the time for positive
    thinking, Gin-san.
[07:11] Gin
    What you're doing is more
    like primitive thinking!
[07:13] Kag
    Even when we fall, we don't get back up
    for free. That's the Odd Jobs motto.
[07:16] Gin
    I'll give you money, so stay down!
    Never get back up again, please!
[07:19] Kag
    Don't worry.
[07:20] Kag
    Akiba folk are just walking corpses who
    ironically call themselves Love Livers.
[07:24] Kag
    Nobody cares about you.
[07:26] Gin
    You'd better knock it off, or you'll
    be wanted by Love Livers, too!
[07:30] Gin
    Don't look down on Love Livers!
[07:32] Gin
    Those guys are insane!
[07:33] Gin
    Not even love survivor ninja robots
    would be a match for them!
[07:35] G
    Oh, hello? Uh...
[07:37] G
    There's a guy here who looks a lot
    like someone on a wanted poster.
[07:42] G
    Uh, hello?
[07:46] G
    My phone!
[07:48] Gin
    Are you stupid?
[07:48] Nob
    Excuse me. I'm here because I saw the flyer.
[07:51] Nob
    Odd Jobs Gin-chan Akiba Branch...
[07:54] Nob
    Mind if I make a request?
[08:03] Nob
    Looks like you'll need to relocate again,
[08:06] Nob
    Odd Jobs.
[08:07] Gin
    Right back at you.
[08:09] Gin
    I would've thought you'd left Edo long ago.
[08:12] Gin
    What happened to the Mimawarigumi?
[08:13] Nob
    I don't have the ability or
    right to lead them anymore.
[08:18] Nob
    A lot of them wanted to repay Kondo Isao
    for saving them on the battlefield,
[08:21] Nob
    so they went with the Shinsengumi.
[08:24] Nob
    They'll be much better
    off with a man like him.
[08:29] Nob
    I've got my own job to do...
[08:32] Nob
    As Sasaki Isaburo's comrade,
[08:36] Nob
    and...
[08:38] Nob
    as one of Shoyo's pupils.
[08:43] Nob
    I can't let this country and
    that man do what they want.
[08:48] Gin
    I didn't know I had a junior here.
[08:51] Gin
    But you know a side of Yoshida
    Shoyo that we don't know...
[08:56] Gin
    You know Utsuro, don't you?
[08:58] Gin
    Tell us, what did Shoyo—
[09:01] Gin
    My.
[09:02] Mat
    Freeze!
[09:04] Mat
    You betrayed us, Imai Nobume?
[09:07] Mat
    Why is the White Yaksha here?
[09:11] Mat
    Y-You're...
[09:13] Mat
    One of Takasugi's Kiheitai,
[09:15] Mat
    Kijima *ko!
[09:16] Mat
    Why the hell did you bleep that out?!
[09:18] Mat
    That's misleading! Just say Matako!
[09:20] Gin
    No, we can't talk about that
    in a late night anime.
[09:23] Gin
    Let's keep the **** under wraps, okay—
[09:27] Nob
    Put your gun away, Dko.
[09:29] Mat
    What did you say?!
[09:30] Mat
    Did you just use a totally
    different four-letter word?!
[09:32] Mat
    You're the one who should
    put her weapon away.
[09:35] Mat
    The Mimawarigumi was
    supposed to be on our side.
[09:37] Mat
    Why are you with the White Yaksha's gang?
[09:39] Kat
    Oh, right.
[09:40] Kat
    Before Nobunobu sold you out,
[09:43] Kat
    you were working together as the
    Hitotsubashi Faction to take over the country.
[09:49] Nob
    It was Sasaki Isaburo, the individual,
    who formed an alliance with you.
[09:53] Nob
    The Mimawarigumi were only being used.
[09:57] Nob
    And Isaburo and the Mimawarigumi
    are both gone now.
[10:02] Hen
    So the rumors were true.
[10:05] Hen
    Good grief.
[10:07] Hen
    We came here as a last resort,
[10:10] Hen
    but it seems we don't have
    any allies anywhere anymore.
[10:14] Nob
    You may not have allies here,
    but you do have Shoyo's students
[10:18] Nob
    and the Odd Jobs Akiba Branch,
    which will do anything you want.
[10:22] Gin
    Don't tell me your request is...
[10:25] Nob
    Tell us.
[10:26] Nob
    What happened to...
[10:29] Nob
    the other student of Shoyo's?
[10:43] Hen
    Nobunobu and the Elders betrayed the
    Kiheitai and cut us out of the Harusame,
[10:49] Hen
    making us nothing but a tiny,
    isolated army wandering in space.
[10:52] Hen
    But even in that crisis, Kamui-dono's
    7th Division went on the attack
[10:58] Hen
    and successfully captured one of the
    syndicate's bases, the Southern Paradise.
[11:05] Hen
    However, it turned out to be
    a trap laid by the Harusame.
[11:12] Hen
    We and Kamui-dono barely managed to escape,
[11:17] Hen
    but half our fleet was
    reduced to space debris.
[11:25] (Flashback) Abu
    Are they trying to hunt
    every single rabbit down?
[11:29] (Flashback) Abu
    We're an endangered species, you know.
[11:32] (Flashback) Abu
    They could stand to be a little nicer to us.
[11:36] (Flashback) Kam
    Nah, they know their stuff.
[11:38] (Flashback) Kam
    Abuto, rabbits can die of loneliness.
[11:42] (Flashback) Kam
    But the enemy has prepared
    a fun playground for us.
[11:45] (Flashback) Kam
    We need to show our gratitude.
[11:49] (Flashback) G
    Wh-What the?
[11:54] (Flashback) Kam
    Charge in!
[11:59] (Flashback) Hen
    Abuto-dono!
[12:00] (Flashback) Hen
    Why would you charge into the flagship by
    yourselves? Are you out of your minds?!
[12:03] (Flashback) Abu
    You're barking up the wrong tree!
[12:06] (Flashback) Abu
    He said he felt like getting up close
    and personal with the enemy general.
[12:09] (Flashback) Abu
    Grab Takasugi and scram while
    we're distracting the enemy.
[12:14] (Flashback) Abu
    If we live to meet again, give
    this moron a piece of your mind.
[12:18] (Flashback) Hen
    What are you saying, Abuto-dono?
[12:20] (Flashback) Abu
    I've got a bad feeling about this.
[12:22] (Flashback) Abu
    The Harusame never fought like this before.
[12:26] (Flashback) Abu
    Someone who's familiar with the Yato's
    killing style has joined them.
[12:35] (Flashback) Abu
    I knew it.
[12:36] (Flashback) Abu
    Who the hell have they teamed up with?
[12:40] (Flashback) Kam
    Just think about who could
    pull this crap against Yato.
[12:43] (Flashback) Kam
    Only two people in this entire universe...
[12:51] (Flashback) Kam
    Stupid me, and my stupid father.
[12:56] Shin
    Umibozu-san?
[12:58] Shin
    Wh-Why?
[12:59] Hen
    That's what we'd like to know, but...
[13:02] Hen
    What we do know is that
    he and the Harusame
[13:04] Hen
    banished the Kiheitai and the
    7th Division into the darkness of space.
[13:10] Hen
    Kamui-dono has gone missing,
[13:13] Hen
    and so has Shinsuke-dono.
[13:32] (Flashback) Ban
    Takechi has readied an escape vessel.
[13:35] (Flashback) Ban
    Run, Matako.
[13:37] (Flashback) Ban
    I promise to bring Shinsuke with me.
[13:41] (Flashback) Ban
    So...
[13:42] (Flashback) Ban
    Live on.
[13:45] (Flashback) Ban
    Don't let the Kiheitai end this way.
[13:56] Mat
    Shinsuke-sama is still alive.
[13:58] Mat
    The Kiheitai aren't finished yet.
[14:01] Mat
    I bet they're waiting for our help right now.
[14:05] Mat
    So... So...
[14:08] Gin
    That so?
[14:09] Gin
    Guess I should go finish him off for good.
[14:12] Shin
    Gin-san!
[14:13] Gin
    Sorry, Nobume-san, but that's
    the most I can do for them.
[14:17] Gin
    Or do you want me to avenge those morons?
[14:22] Nob
    Unless the Harusame are taken out,
    this country will never change.
[14:25] Nob
    The Harusame Space Pirates
    have links to the Tendoshu
[14:28] Nob
    and have amassed great power.
[14:31] Nob
    If Naraku is one of Utsuro's wings,
[14:33] Nob
    then the Harusame is the other.
[14:37] Nob
    Tear it off, and you'll bring the crows that
    look down on mankind crashing down.
[14:43] Nob
    And only you, Shoyo's pupils,
    have the power to do that.
[15:01] E
    It has been a while, Utsuro-dono.
[15:04] E
    Thank you for traveling all the way
    to the end of the universe to see us.
[15:08] E
    Though we didn't exactly invite you.
[15:11] U
    Rest assured.
[15:12] U
    I may be one of the Tendoshu,
[15:14] U
    but unlike those senior citizens, I don't
    like sitting too long in one place.
[15:20] E
    Ah, you're telling us senile geezers
    to shut up and sit our butts down?
[15:24] U
    Senile geezers wouldn't be able to
    sink an entire fleet from their seats.
[15:28] U
    Thanks to your efforts in keeping a
    part of the rebels occupied in space,
[15:33] U
    we managed to take on the enemies on Earth.
[15:38] U
    We're truly grateful.
[15:40] E
    All we did was deal with our enemies.
[15:43] E
    We don't need your gratitude.
[15:45] E
    Indeed. We should stick to the
    agreement we've had until now
[15:49] E
    and help each other only
    when our interests align.
[15:54] U
    "So don't get any closer"?
[15:58] U
    Dear me. Everyone in the
    universe hates the Tendoshu.
[16:01] U
    Even the Elders of the cosmos' biggest
    crime syndicate are wary of us?
[16:07] U
    Do you think a youngster like me
    could be plotting something?
[16:10] E
    I wonder which of us is
    really the youngster here.
[16:13] E
    In your eyes, even we geezers must look
    like nothing more than greenhorns,
[16:20] E
    Utsuro-dono.
[16:23] Nob
    You people need to know
[16:26] Nob
    just what the Tendoshu
    controlling this country are,
[16:29] Nob
    and just who Utsuro is.
[16:33] Nob
    They're all beings born from Altana.
[16:37] Nob
    Altana being the new energy
    resource the Amanto discovered.
[16:41] Nob
    Some in this country call them ley lines.
[16:45] Shin
    I've heard about that.
[16:47] Shin
    I think Ane and Mone mentioned
[16:49] Shin
    that the terminal the Amanto
    built is powered by that.
[16:54] Nob
    Right.
[16:55] Nob
    The invention of a method to
    convert Altana into usable energy
[16:59] Nob
    led to rapid development across the universe.
[17:03] Nob
    Interstellar travel became easy,
[17:05] Nob
    as did the development of weapons
    capable of destroying planets.
[17:10] Nob
    And those in possession of Altana
    gained massive influence.
[17:17] Nob
    After many a war,
[17:19] Nob
    states signed a non-aggression pact that
    rendered Altana reserves off-limits
[17:24] Nob
    and formed a centralized organization
    to monitor Altana gates, or "holes."
[17:29] Nob
    That is the Altana Preservation Agency,
[17:33] Nob
    later known as the Tendoshu.
[17:35] Gin
    So, basically, the people who were
    meant to monitor the resource
[17:38] Gin
    used its power for their own benefit?
[17:40] Kat
    The holes in each planet were closed
    off, and only they had access to it.
[17:45] Kat
    That's how they took control of
    countless planets and consumed them...
[17:49] Kat
    Like parasites.
[17:51] Nob
    Part of the reason they're
    obsessed with Earth
[17:54] Nob
    is its massive Altana reserves,
    which were previously untouched.
[17:58] Nob
    But what they're probably most interested
    in is a certain phenomenon...
[18:04] Nob
    An unexplained effect, which had been
    documented as a miracle in the past,
[18:08] Nob
    that somehow influences
    the very principles of life.
[18:13] Nob
    On this planet, it happened
    to take the form of a man.
[18:17] Nob
    Utsuro,
[18:19] Nob
    the founder's name passed down through
    generations of Tenshoin Naraku.
[18:23] Nob
    Each head of the Naraku is said
    to have inherited that name and
[18:26] Nob
    worked behind the scenes for
    the authority of their time.
[18:29] Nob
    But that wasn't the truth.
[18:31] Nob
    It came to light during the Tokugawa's reign,
    when Naraku served the Tendoshu.
[18:38] Nob
    The Utsuro at the time
    mysteriously went missing.
[18:41] Nob
    Since Naraku made traitors pay
    for their sins with death,
[18:44] Nob
    they looked all over for him.
[18:53] Nob
    Utsuro had changed his name,
    concealed his background,
[18:57] Nob
    and was teaching kids.
[19:00] Nob
    It's said that the look in his eyes
    made him seem like a different person.
[19:04] Nob
    Later on, his students
    caused a major uprising,
[19:08] Nob
    but they were defeated,
[19:11] Nob
    and Utsuro was executed.
[19:17] Nob
    That's when something unexpected happened.
[19:42] Nob
    That's the truth behind Utsuro.
[19:49] Nob
    Over its 500-year history, the
    Tenshoin Naraku had thirteen heads.
[19:55] Nob
    But they were all the same man...
[20:00] Nob
    A man who became incapable of
    dying due to the power of Altana.
[20:05] Nob
    "Yoshida Shoyo" was but a fleeting
    smile that Utsuro let slip.
[20:12] U
    Surely you jest.
[20:14] U
    The Tendoshu, a bunch of immortals?
[20:17] U
    Where did you hear a
    baseless rumor like that?
[20:19] E
    Where, indeed?
[20:21] E
    But I hear you used to be an
    agency that researched Altana.
[20:26] E
    It would make sense if that research led you
[20:30] E
    to the entire universe's
    greatest wish, immortality.
[20:33] E
    That's how looking at your
    unfathomable smile makes us feel.
[20:39] U
    The entire universe's
    greatest wish? Is it really?
[20:44] U
    Can an endless life really be called "life"?
[20:47] U
    If living can be defined as not being dead,
[20:50] U
    can life really exist in the absence
    of the very concept of death?
[20:55] U
    I would call that a void.
[20:57] U
    A hollow, "Utsuro," if you will,
    devoid of life and death.
[21:01] U
    When people suffer for long,
    they seek an end to it all.
[21:06] U
    But even in times of happiness,
    when they find out that it's everlasting,
[21:11] U
    they seek an end to it all.
[21:13] U
    And I have met my end and taken
    birth over and over again.
[21:17] U
    But no matter how many times I started
    over, I was still "Utsuro," a void.
[21:21] U
    That's why the me of now was born...
[21:24] U
    To kill all of myself and
    put an end to all of Utsuro.
[21:31] E
    The 12th Division of the Harusame?!
[21:34] E
    I see.
[21:35] E
    You've already...
[21:37] U
    Respected Elders,
[21:39] U
    I'm here today to sign a
    new agreement with you.
[21:43] U
    Under its terms, you will first transfer
    all control over the Harusame to me.
[21:46] U
    And second...
[21:48] U
    You snot-nosed brats will shut up
    and keep your butts seated.
[21:55] Nob
    There's no telling how long
    Utsuro has been living for,
[22:00] Nob
    or whether Shoyo is still
    a part of him or not.
[22:05] Nob
    But one thing is for sure:
[22:08] Nob
    he's currently the most dangerous
    being in the universe.
