    There's no telling how long
    Utsuro has been living for,
[00:09] Nob
    or whether Shoyo is still
    a part of him or not.
[00:15] Nob
    But one thing is for sure:
[00:17] Nob
    he's currently the most dangerous
    being in the universe.

[01:59] Kat
    If Takasugi were alive, what would he say?
[02:04] Kat
    We became Joi Rebels after the bakufu
    took our teacher and friends from us,
[02:09] Kat
    hoping to change this cruel
    world for the better.
[02:13] Kat
    If he were to find out that our teacher
    was the one who created this world...
[02:19] Kat
    I'd be lying if I said the whole
    thing didn't come as a shock.
[02:24] Kat
    But it's also true that a part
    of me thinks it makes sense.
[02:27] Kat
    Yoshida Shoyo was a bright
    light that shone upon us.
[02:32] Kat
    But, looking back,
[02:34] Kat
    the vacant look he would
    sometimes have in his eyes
[02:37] Kat
    might have been him staring at
    the giant shadow of his past.
[02:43] Kat
    I may never know why he
    spent years in the Naraku,
[02:46] Kat
    then left it and started the Shoka Sonjuku.
[02:52] Kat
    But I do know...
[02:54] Kat
    that the man smiling there back then
    was, without a doubt, our teacher.
[03:02] Kat
    And I do know what I ought to do
    now as Yoshida Shoyo's student.
[03:09] Gin
    Zura, that's not Shoyo.
[03:13] (Flashback) Sho
    A monster's sword cannot
    cut another monster.
[03:17] (Flashback) Sho
    You have to grow stronger than me
    using the sword of a human.
[03:22] Sho
    It's something else, something
    not even Shoyo could defeat.
[03:28] Sho
    Shoyo died back then...
[03:31] Sho
    That's what Takasugi would say.
[03:34] Kat
    I see.
[03:35] Kat
    Even so, Gintoki,
[03:37] Kat
    it's my turn now.
[03:41] Kat
    I can't make you kill our teacher again.
[03:50] U
    The Elders passed away in
    an unfortunate incident.
[03:54] U
    There's nothing shackling
    the 12 Divisions anymore.
[03:58] U
    You're free to do as you wish now.
[04:00] Shirei?
    Utsuro-sama,
[04:01] Shirei?
    we do not seek freedom after all this time.
[04:04] Shirei?
    What the Harusame desires is governance...
[04:07] Shirei?
    A leader to show us the way.
[04:09] Shirei?
    Please let us join the Tendoshu's
    forces, Your Excellency—
[04:13] UB
    Good grief.

    Pirates, of all people,

    There, there.
[04:45] (Flashback) Shin

[04:48] (Flashback) Kag
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[04:50] (Flashback) Kag
    I just couldn't settle on the right outfit.
[04:52] (Flashback) Gin
    Like hell you couldn't!
[04:53] (Flashback) Gin
    What you settled on was an early lunch!
[04:55] (Flashback) Gin
    Hey, what part of this thing is a girl?!
[05:05] Oto
    What's the matter, Sadaharu?
[05:06] Tama
    Did Gintoki-sama and the rest come back?
[05:09] Cat
    He probably just needs to pee.
[05:11] Cat
    Even if those wanted felons did
    come back, it'd only be a bother.
[05:15] Cat
    Here, get going.
[05:35] UB
    No vindication for the Elders, it seems.
[05:38] UB
    Do you think you can drink some sweet
    stuff if you follow the Tendoshu?
[05:43] U
    You were asked by an old friend in the
    Elders to dispose of the 7th Division, yes?
[05:49] U
    I shall pay you in their stead.
[05:52] UB
    I didn't put in enough work to get paid.
[05:55] UB
    Those guys were already on their last legs.
[05:58] UB
    You ordered that, didn't you?
[06:01] U
    You may be the number one
    hunter in the universe,
[06:03] U
    but I figured it wouldn't be easy
    for you to hunt down your own son.
[06:10] UB
    Until now, I'd never gotten involved in
    the internal disputes of crime syndicates.
[06:15] UB
    It may have been out of obligation,
[06:16] UB
    but do you know the real reason
    why I helped pirates out?
[06:20] UB
    It was to kill that rotten son
    of mine before you lot did.
[06:24] UB
    It was my own balls that
    gave life to that monster.
[06:27] UB
    Then it's my duty, balls and all,
    to put an end to him.
[06:33] UB
    So let me make this crystal clear.
[06:39] Kag
    Take me with you.
[06:41] UB
    I won't let anyone else...
[06:43] Kag
    ...kill him.

[07:42] U
    Are you saying your son is still alive?
[07:45] UB
    Playing the fool, eh?
[07:47] UB
    Surely you know already.
[07:56] UB
    He's not the type to die from just that.
[07:59] UB
    My hunt is still in the phase
    where the prey has taken the bait.
[08:04] UB
    But if you're going to stick your
    nose where it doesn't belong again,
[08:08] UB
    then you'd best be prepared to
    be hunted down by Umibozu, too.
[08:14] UB
    Of course,
[08:15] UB
    the guy over there seems to
    be prepared for it already.

    Stand down, Oboro.
[08:22] U
    He may not be our ally,
    but he's not an enemy, either.

    He's nothing but a hunter who pulls
    back on his bow with no hesitation,

    What are you playing at, Takechi-senpai?!
[08:35] Mat
    We decided not to work with
    them, even as a last resort!

    Seconds.
[08:41] Hen
    Now, now, don't be in such a rush.
    Nobody's going to take your food away.
[08:45] Hen
    Chew properly, and eat
    the boiled veggies, too.
[08:48] Mat
    Are you kidding me?!
[08:49] Mat
    What are you domesticating
    her for, you moai mom?!
[08:51] Mat
    Why would you let her,
    of all people, on board?!
[08:53] Mat
    Give your lolicon tendencies a rest!
[08:55] Hen
    I'm not a lolicon. I'm a feminist.
[08:58] Hen
    I'm not putting my hands
    on an innocent little girl.
[09:02] Hen
    I'm extending a helping hand to her.
[09:04] Mat
    Uh, no matter how you put it,
    it just makes you sound like a lolicon!
[09:06] Mat
    You're a creep, Senpai!
[09:07] Mat
    What part of her is "innocent"?
[09:09] Mat
    Knock it off already!
[09:10] Mat
    How can you eat that much
    off the enemy's table?
[09:12] Mat
    Sure you didn't sneak in to
    burn through our provisions?
[09:15] Kag
    You guys would crash and burn even if
    I did nothing. You're meaningless to me.
[09:19] Kag
    If you wanna make a comeback,
[09:21] Kag
    bet everything you have on my tummy.
[09:23] Kag
    I'll destroy it all...
[09:25] Kag
    The Harusame, my stupid dad,
    and my stupid brother.
[09:31] Hen
    You shouldn't say things you don't mean.
[09:34] Hen
    You want to stop those two, don't you?
[09:37] Hen
    That's why you came here all by yourself...
[09:40] Hen
    To protect them as a daughter,
    as a sister, and as family.
[09:51] U
    It seems you're approaching your limit.
[09:54] U
    Even if it does gain the
    blood of an immortal,
[09:57] U
    a human body cannot handle
    that burden forever.
[10:01] U
    All the times you've died so far have
    clearly taken a toll on your body.
[10:06] O
    Even so, what has kept me alive
    when I should've died long ago
[10:10] O
    is your blood flowing through my body.
[10:13] O
    And the vow I made to you, one I
    will keep until my body rots away.
[10:19] U
    Even if you made that promise
    to a different avatar of mine?
[10:24] O
    Utsuro-sama, the enemy is not dead yet.
[10:28] O
    During the operation to
    mop up the 7th Division,
[10:30] O
    we detected an unknown unit
    moving around in the chaos.
[10:35] O
    One of them was an experienced Yato fighter.
[10:37] O
    We've received reports that the unit they
    led was likely comprised of Earthlings.
[10:42] U
    You're saying a third party got involved
    and secretly rescued Takasugi and gang?
[10:47] O
    They had a guide.
[10:50] O
    Probably exactly who you think it is.
[11:06] Ban
    Is this...
[11:13] Ban
    Where's Shinsuke?
[11:14] Ban
    Where are the Kiheitai?
[11:16] Ban
    Just what is this place?
[11:20] Sak
    Hey, you awake?
[11:22] Ban
    Y-You people...
[11:24] Sak
    Sorry.
[11:25] Sak
    We couldn't save any more of you.
[11:28] Sak
    But don't you worry.
[11:30] Sak
    Your general, and our friend...
[11:33] Sak
    We'll definitely save him!
[11:37] Kat
    "Friend," huh?
[11:39] Kat
    At this point, you're the
    only one who calls him that.
[11:43] Kat
    He should be thankful that
[11:45] Kat
    there's a man who is willing to go to
    the ends of the universe to save him.
[11:50] Kat
    And he should lament that
[11:52] Kat
    there's a man who is willing to go to
    the ends of the universe to kill him.
[11:55] Sak
    What, Zura?
[11:57] Sak
    You're still havin' a fight with
    Takasugi over somethin' stupid?
[12:00] Kat
    I'm not Zura. I'm Katsura.
[12:02] Kat
    A money-minded businessman
    wouldn't understand.
[12:03] Kat
    Samurai risk their lives to
    fight for their stupid bushido.
[12:07] Sak
    That so?
[12:09] Sak
    In that case, I wonder what stupid thing
    that happy-go-lucky fool's fightin' for.
[12:17] Hen
    Do you realize why I let you board this ship?
[12:21] Hen
    It's because I can bend your friends
    to my will if I take you hostage.
[12:26] Mat
    Takechi-senpai?
[12:28] Hen
    I'm the Kiheitai's strategic advisor.
[12:30] Hen
    My job is to get us out of this predicament
    using any and all methods available.
[12:35] Kag
    Don't worry.
[12:37] Kag
    Whether I do something stupid or not,
[12:41] Kag
    those guys will come
[12:43] Kag
    to protect my family.
[12:46] Kag
    That's why I must go...
[12:50] Kag
    To protect my other family.

[12:58] Ban
    The Rampaging Noble, Katsura Kotaro.
[13:01] Ban
    The White Yaksha, Sakata Gintoki.
[13:04] Ban
    The men of legend who fought
    with Shinsuke in the Joi War...
[13:08] Ban
    Why are they here?
[13:11] Gin
    Thanks for bringing us here.
[13:13] Nob
    You should hurry up and get going.
[13:15] Nob
    Nobunobu has caught wind of our movements.
[13:18] Nob
    I'll take care of things here.
[13:21] Nob
    Figure the rest out on your own.
[13:23] Shin
    Nobume-san...
[13:25] Nob
    Can I ask you one thing?
[13:27] Nob
    Are you here as a student of Shoyo's,
[13:31] Nob
    or as a friend of Takasugi's?
[13:34] Gin
    Odd Jobs does whatever's asked of us.
[13:38] Gin
    Can I ask you something?
[13:39] Gin
    Did you help us out as a student of Shoyo's,
[13:44] Gin
    or as a friend of Takasugi's?
[13:47] Nob
    Because your foolish face
[13:51] Nob
    looked just like his.
[13:56] Nob
    So stupid.
[13:57] Gin
    Yeah, both you and me.
[14:02] Kat
    Gintoki...
[14:04] Sak
    Everyone's here now.
[14:06] Sak
    Set sail!
[14:16] U
    The Kaientai?
[14:18] O
    Sakamoto Tatsuma.
[14:20] O
    He fought in the Joi War with
    Takasugi and the others.
[14:23] O
    We've received word that a combined fleet
    with his and Katsura's people has left Earth.
[14:30] O
    They were probably the ones who
    rescued the remnants of the Kiheitai.
[14:34] U
    I see.
[14:35] U
    Former comrades have come together
    again to save their friend, huh?
[14:40] U
    Will you indeed be the ones to
    fight me until the very end?
[14:45] Ban
    What are you all playing at?
[14:48] Ban
    You cut ties with Shinsuke a long time ago.
[14:52] Ban
    So why are you doing this now?
[14:55] Ban
    Only Gintoki and Zura got
    into a fight with Takasugi.
[14:58] Ban
    That's how they've always been.
[15:00] Ban
    They keep quarrelin' over methods,
    even though their goal is the same.
[15:04] Kat
    You were wandering across the universe,
    so you don't know what he did.
[15:09] Kat
    Tell him about all his evil acts, Gintoki.
[15:12] Gin
    One bad thing about Takasugi...
[15:15] Gin
    Two bad things about Takasugi...
[15:17] Gin
    Three—
[15:18] Kat
    Look, there were so many that he fell asleep!
[15:21] Kat
    You helped out a man who's basically
    an incarnation of all things evil.
[15:24] Kat
    Why don't I count and see if he has
    enough good points to be worth saving?
[15:28] Kat
    One good thing about Takasugi...
[15:29] Shin
    There are tons of good
    things about him, too?!
[15:32] Shin
    You two just want to sleep, don't you?!
[15:33] Sak
    Once the battle begins,
    there will be no time to sleep.
[15:36] Sak
    Preserving one's energy
    is also part of bushido.
[15:39] Shin
    I don't wanna hear that from you!
    You're losing energy just by being on a ship!
[15:43] Mut
    There was a leak from the Harusame side
[15:46] Mut
    that said they were planning an operation
    to mop up the 7th Division and Kiheitai.
[15:51] Mut
    All we did was act on that information
    as per Sakamoto's orders.
[15:56] Ban
    Who leaked that information?
[15:58] Mut
    There's no need for you to know.
[16:00] Mut
    But Takasugi's not dead yet.
[16:02] Mut
    That much is for sure.
[16:03] Sak
    You guys have turned an
    absolute monster against you.
[16:08] Sak
    If we all don't work together, we'll all die.
[16:10] Sak
    We're willin' to help you out.
[16:13] Sak
    So you help us out, too.
[16:15] Ban
    As if we could do that—
[16:17] Sak
    You can.
[16:18] Sak
    I don't know why Takasugi
    and these guys had a fight.
[16:22] Sak
    There must've been some extraordinary
    circumstances involved.
[16:25] Sak
    But things are the same as
    back then, if you ask me.
[16:29] Sak
    They're just partners in crime who fight
    the moment they run into each other.
[16:35] Sak
    It's always been my job to
    put an end to their fights.
[16:40] Sak
    And I don't mind if it's only for a moment...
[16:42] Sak
    I'm gonna turn him back

[17:30] G
    Not from the front!
[17:31] G
    From the rear!
[17:33] G
    That's not artillery!
[17:35] G
    It's a raid ship fitted
    with optical camouflage!

    What?
[17:41] G
    Run away, shogun!

    The enemy is already—
[17:46] Sak
    Oh? Is this what your new
    government is made of?
[17:49] Sak
    The old one we went to war
    against had a bit more backbone.
[17:54] Sak
    But we can take your country
    down in thirteen seconds.
[17:59] G
    You fiends!
[18:00] Nb
    Don't move!
[18:01] Nb
    If you do, my entire armada
    will fire at your fleet!
[18:05] Gin
    Just try it.
[18:07] Gin
    Will you destroy our fleet first,
[18:10] Gin
    or will we take the shogun's head first?
[18:14] G
    P-Protect the shogun!
[18:32] Ban
    They turned that hopeless
    situation around in a flash?
[18:36] Ban
    These are the men that fought with Shinsuke.
[18:40] Sak
    All ships, cease fire!
[18:44] Sak
    This fight is over, guys.
[18:47] Sak
    We've kissed and made up.
[18:49] Gin
    We found out there were a
    bunch of misunderstandings.
[18:52] Gin
    Like how we laughed at his
    sperm-like eyebrows or something.
[18:56] Kat
    But we cleared that up.
[18:58] Kat
    We didn't laugh at his eyebrows,
    but his cropped hair.
[19:01] Kat
    Isn't it funny that a man as
    old as him has that hairstyle?
[19:05] Kat
    In that case, your long
    hair is funny, too, Zura.
[19:08] Kat
    It's not long hair. It's Katsura.
[19:09] Gin
    Anyway, we resolved the whole thing by
    saying Zura would crop his hair, too.
[19:14] Kat
    Why must I get such a messed-up hairstyle?!
[19:16] Gin
    Also, as a sign of reconciliation, the
    shogun invited us to a "Hawk-Crop Party."
[19:22] Gin
    It's a meetup where we go around cropping
    the heads of every hawk in the universe.
[19:25] Gin
    As such, the operation is canceled.
[19:26] Gin
    He wants you retainers to
    return to Earth before him.
[19:31] Nb
    No need for that.
[19:33] Nb
    You won't be able to escape.
[19:35] Nb
    Not you or the retainers.
[19:37] Nb
    If you can't slaughter the traitors, then you
    retainers should disembowel yourselves.
[19:42] Nb
    Kill the enemy or kill yourself.
    Make your choice.
[19:45] Nb
    What's wrong? Stand up already.
[19:47] Nb
    Are you aware of who I am?!
[19:50] Nb
    I'm Shogun Tokugawa Nobunob—
[19:57] Ban
    There's no need for retainers to protect
    the shogun or give their lives for him.
[20:02] Ban
    Leave.
[20:03] Ban
    This country no longer
    has a deserving leader.
[20:08] Gin
    Oh, man.
[20:10] Gin
    The shogun's lost his teeth again.
[20:12] Gin
    How does it feel,
[20:13] Gin
    now that your long-standing wish of taking
    down the bakufu has come true here?
[20:18] Ban
    Nothing's come true.
[20:20] Ban
    The Shinsengumi, Mimawarigumi, and the
    retainers have all abandoned this castle.
[20:25] Ban
    Felling it just makes me feel empty inside.
[20:29] Ban
    How ironic.
[20:30] Ban
    This man was left all alone because
    he stood at the summit of the country.
[20:35] Ban
    And that man had his wings ripped
    off and fell to the ground,
[20:38] Ban
    but there were those that joined him there.
[20:41] Ban
    Shinsuke had you guys.
[20:45] Ban
    There is something I must tell you.
[20:48] Ban
    We have a secret base where we promised to
    meet in case of unforeseen circumstances.
[20:55] Ban
    Forgive me, Shinsuke.
[20:56] Ban
    You might yell at me for this,
[20:59] Ban
    but we need these men to fight the Harusame.
[21:04] Ban
    No...
[21:05] Ban
    Before all that, I've ended up
    wanting to see with my own eyes
[21:09] Ban
    how you looked back when
    you lived with these guys.
[21:14] Ban
    Shinsuke...
[21:17] Ab
    What a graceful sleeping face.
[21:19] Ab
    No matter how many people get burned by
    the flames of war outside his eyelids,
[21:23] Ab
    he coolly spends his time in his dreamland.
[21:25] Ab
    I see generals everywhere are messed up.
[21:30] Ab
    I swear...
[21:31] Ab
    At a time when the 7th Division is
    on the verge of destruction,
[21:34] Ab
    just where is our general dreaming?
[21:37] Ab
    I didn't expect him to pick this
    as the gathering spot, though.
[21:42] Ab
    The abandoned planet, Rakuyo.
[21:44] Ab
    The ruins of a world ravaged by a great war.
[21:48] Ab
    Rogues driven away from various
    planets gather here,
[21:52] Ab
    so it's the perfect place to hide.
[21:55] Ab
    But I thought he'd never want
    to come back here again.
[22:02] Ab
    So even people like you
[22:04] Ab
    can get homesick, huh,
[22:07] Ab
    you family of monsters?
