[00:06] Sak
    The space food that our old
    lady chef prepares is famous
[00:10] Sak
    for lettin' one experience home-cooked
    flavor anywhere in the universe.
[00:13] Sak
    Did you not like it, Shogun?
[00:18] Sak
    This is a problem.
[00:19] Sak
    If you don't eat, we'll be the criminals
    who starved the shogun to death.
[00:25] Nb
    You guys are already criminals
    who will go down in history.
[00:30] Nb
    I don't know or care how you plan to use me,
[00:33] Nb
    but, struggle as you might,
    you're fated to die anyway.
[00:36] Nb
    You will never escape the Tendoshu!
[00:40] Sak
    If I may be so presumptuous, Shogun...
[00:43] Sak
    In our eyes, and probably
    the Tendoshu's as well,
[00:46] Sak
    you are no longer worth using.
[00:51] Sak
    Your retainers walked out on you,
    your government has rapidly lost power,
[00:55] Sak
    and now you've committed a huge
    blunder over a personal grudge.
[00:59] Sak
    You've been too sullied for
    them to use as a puppet.
[01:03] Sak
    At this rate, it's clear that they'll
    get rid of you along with us criminals.
[01:10] Sak
    We are in the same boat here, standin' at
    the edge of the same precipitous cliff.
[01:14] Sak
    And I'm sayin' that's exactly
    why you need to eat properly.
[01:18] Sak
    You can't fight on an empty stomach,
[01:20] Sak
    and for us as well as you,
    the real battle is comin' up.

    and at a safe distance from your TV!!!!!!
[03:03] Ban
    We can see it now.
[03:05] Ban
    If Shinsuke and the rest are
    alive, that's where they'll be.
[03:09] Ban
    And that's probably where
[03:10] Ban
    your friend who went with Takechi
    and Matako will be, too.
[03:16] Gin
    Rakuyo...
[03:18] Gin
    So that's Kagura's home planet.
[03:26] (Flashback) Kag
    Sorry, Mommy.
[03:29] (Flashback) Kag
    I've decided to leave this planet.
[03:32] (Flashback) Kag
    But I promise to come back.
[03:37] (Flashback) Kag
    This time with my stupid
    brother and stupid father.
[03:41] (Flashback) Kag
    I'll come back strong enough
    to regain everything.
[03:48] Mat
    A grave?
[03:49] Mat
    Someone you know?
[03:51] Kag
    I just wanted to check something.
[03:55] Kag
    It's just as I thought.
[03:57] Kag
    That baldy is here, too.
[04:01] UB
    How my homeland has changed
    while I was away.
[04:06] UB
    This has always been a hole for people
    who're too stupid to live on other planets,
[04:13] UB
    but I'd never run into people stupid enough
    to pick a fight with me until now.
[04:16] Abu
    Unfortunately, this is a squad formed by
    a colossal moron who grew up right here.
[04:22] Abu
    You guys had better give it a rest.
[04:24] Abu
    I'm not getting involved, okay?
[04:27] Abu
    This man's son took my left arm,
[04:31] Abu
    and his daughter took one of my ears.
[04:34] Abu
    There's no telling what he'll take.
[04:38] Abu
    Or, what, do you want to avenge that idiot?
[04:42] Abu
    You really shouldn't, then.
[04:44] Abu
    He'll kill you for trying to steal his prey.
[04:48] UB
    Are you saying he's still alive?
[04:50] Abu
    Isn't that why you're here?
[04:53] Abu
    To continue your father-son spat?
[04:56] Abu
    You two are really similar.
[04:59] Abu
    Once you zero in on a target, you ignore
    everyone else until you defeat them.
[05:05] Abu
    Even if that target is
    your own father or son.
[05:09] Abu
    Come. I don't have any tea to offer you,
[05:12] Abu
    but I do have plenty of
    complaints about your son.
[05:15] G
    Vice Commander!
[05:16] Abu
    Didn't you hear me?
[05:18] Abu
    This man isn't the least bit
    interested in taking our lives.
[05:22] Abu
    If he were, we wouldn't be here right now.
[05:25] Abu
    And we have no way to stop
    this fool, or his fool son.
[05:30] Abu
    In that case, all we can do is wait with him...
[05:33] Abu
    For the other fool to come back.
[05:38] Ban
    It seems the Harusame haven't
    caught wind of this location yet.
[05:43] Ban
    We didn't have to be so careful
    and bring only our best men.
[05:47] Shin
    Uh, everyone on the streets looks
    like a space pirate to me.
[05:52] Shin
    Did Kagura-chan really live
    on such a scary planet?
[05:55] Gin
    As a hangout for rogues from
    all over the universe,
[05:58] Gin
    it's not all that different
    from the Kabuki District.
[06:01] Gin
    Look, even the cabaret girls
    here look like your sister.
[06:04] Shin
    That's just a gorilla!
[06:05] Gin
    And her customer's basically Kondo, too.
[06:08] Shin
    That's just a gorilla!
[06:09] Gin
    And the manga artist drawing all that, too.
[06:11] Shin
    That's just a gorilla!
[06:13] Sak
    Shinpachi-kun, Gintoki's sayin'
    there's no need to be afraid.
[06:17] Sak
    So what if they're gorillas?
[06:18] Sak
    If they can work in such a
    business despite being gorillas,
[06:21] Sak
    then maybe their technique
    is out of this world!
[06:24] Shin
    Technique?
[06:25] Sak
    Okay, let's split up from here.
[06:27] Sak
    I'll try the G Course.
SIGN    G Course
SIGN    Gorilla
[06:29] Shin
    He went down the Gorilla Course!
[06:31] Mut
    I see. So you want the Gehenna Course.
SIGN    Gehenna
SIGN    G Course
[06:35] Ban
    So these are the men who
    fought with Shinsuke.
[06:38] Shin
    This is not the time or
    place for that reaction!
[06:39] Kat
    Yes, it might actually be similar.
[06:42] Kat
    Maybe Leader came to the Kabuki District
    because it gave off the scent of home,
[06:47] Kat
    right, Otae-san?
[06:48] Shin
    I told you, that's not Sis!
[06:50] Gin
    The scent of home, eh?
[06:53] Gin
    All I smell here is mold and grime.
[06:55] Mut
    We can't mix in the scent
    of blood there, too.
[06:59] Mut
    Anyhow, we should hurry to where
    Takasugi and the rest are hidin'.
[07:03] Mut
    Your friend is probably there, too.
[07:05] Mut
    Unless we meet up with 'em and
    protect 'em from the Harusame soon,
[07:09] Mut
    we'll lose our means of
    fightin' the Harusame, too.
[07:13] Shin
    Bansai-san.
[07:14] Ban
    Yes.
[07:16] Ban
    To think I'd be leading you to
    the emergency meeting place
[07:20] Ban
    that only those in our upper
    echelon know about...
[07:26] Ban
    You can see it from here.
[07:28] Ban
    It's that abandoned temple.
[07:35] Shin
    Uh, Bansai-san, it just exploded.
[07:39] Shin
    P-Please tell me that wasn't the place.
[07:42] Ban
    Yes, maybe it was not.
[07:44] Ban
    Right, it was the deserted house next door.
[07:48] Ban
    Or not. The place next door to that.
[07:51] Ban
    No, two doors down.
[07:53] Ban
    No, three—
[07:54] Shin
    They all exploded!
[07:56] Shin
    Was he there? Was Takasugi-san
    in one of those?!
[07:59] Ban
    Yes.
[08:00] Shin
    Oh, no!
[08:00] Shin
    You mean the Harusame knew?
[08:02] Gin
    Wasn't he the one who did all
    that, and not the Harusame?
[08:05] Gin
    Laser beams were coming out of his finger.
[08:08] Shin
    No, nothing came out!
[08:09] Shin
    Can you not? This guy doesn't get jokes!
[08:12] Gin
    My bad. It wasn't his finger.
    Something came from his brain.
[08:14] Shin
    I told you, nothing came out!
[08:16] G
    Bansai-sama, you're alive?
[08:18] Ban
    You're part of the Kiheitai!
[08:21] Ban
    What just happened?
    What were those explosions?
[08:24] G
    We're done for.
[08:26] G
    It was Umibozu.
[08:28] G
    He sniffed out this place.
[08:31] Kag
    Don't tell me...
[08:33] Kag
    Don't tell me!
[08:34] G
    P-Please hurry!
[08:35] Ban
    How's Shinsuke? Is he all right?
[08:40] Ban
    Hey, answer me!
[08:44] G
    We're sorry, Bansai—
[08:54] Shin
    Gin-san! Bansai-san!
[08:56] Gin
    A trap.
[08:58] Gin
    Those guys were in bed with the enemy.
[09:01] Gin
    I bet they were told to bring us here
    if they wanted their lives spared.
[09:05] Gin
    But they were just sacrificial
    pawns, apparently.
[09:09] Gin
    It looks like...
[09:12] Gin
    this planet has long since
    fallen into Harusame hands.
[09:16] Abu
    How awful.
[09:18] Abu
    That would turn even us Yato into cinders.
[09:22] Abu
    If we were there, that is.
[09:25] Abu
    If not for your advice,
    we'd have been done for.
[09:28] Abu
    Some gods abandon you,
    and some save you, huh?
[09:31] Abu
    Though, to begin with, the one who both
    destroyed and saved our 7th Division
[09:35] Abu
    wasn't godly, but a baldy instead.
[09:38] UB
    I am the great Umibozu, the best
    alien hunter in the universe.
[09:43] UB
    I always get my prey,
[09:45] UB
    but I never try to poach someone else's.
[09:48] UB
    My prey is the rotten brat alone.
[09:51] UB
    That man is not my prey nor the Harusame's,
[09:56] UB
    but the prey of a moron who'll come
    to settle the score someday.
[10:00] Abu
    A moron, eh?
[10:01] UB
    Long story short, I hate people who
    meddle in other people's fights.
[10:07] UB
    I gave them a warning, but it seems
    they're serious about taking me on.
[10:12] UB
    They came prepared to
    destroy an entire planet.
[10:16] UB
    If that's what they want,
[10:18] UB
    then I have to be ready, too...
[10:22] UB
    Ready for the most dangerous
    creature I've seen
[10:25] UB
    in my 25 years as an alien hunter,
[10:28] UB
    and ready to hunt him down.
[10:42] B
    I should've realized sooner.
[10:45] B
    To think the enemy managed to turn
    some of our surviving comrades...
[10:50] B
    The Kiheitai started to crumble
    the moment Shinsuke went down.
[10:55] Gin
    This would've happened sooner or later.
[10:58] Gin
    Besides, there'd be no point
    in us being here if it didn't.
[11:02] Gin
    Right, Zura?
[11:04] Gin
    Tatsuma?
[11:06] Gin
    Quit spacing out.
[11:08] Gin
    In battle, the ones who burden
    themselves with regret
[11:13] Gin
    are always the first to die.
[11:15] Gin
    The only burden samurai should carry
[11:18] Gin
    is their sword.
[11:21] Ban
    White Yaksha!
[11:24] Kat
    Want me to tell you how to
    avoid the enemy's bullets?
[11:28] Kat
    It's simple!
[11:30] Kat
    Run!
[11:33] Kat
    Run faster than the enemy's bullets!
[11:45] Kat
    Run...
[11:46] Kat
    Run faster than the
[11:50] Kat
    shadow of death looming over you!
[11:55] G
    They're downstairs!
[11:55] G
    Hurry!
[12:00] Mut
    Fire!
SIGN    Charge!!
[12:07] Ban
    They used a mad rush as a feint?
[12:09] Ban
    While they distracted the enemy,
[12:12] Ban
    they sent their friends
    to surround the enemy?
SIGN    Die
[12:15] Ban
    Shinsuke...
[12:16] Ban
    Are these the samurai we
    were trying to wipe out?
[12:20] Ban
    No wonder they gave us such a hard time.
[12:23] Ban
    Sure, the era did break them,
[12:26] Ban
    and they did degrade into something
    resembling a blunt blade.
[12:30] Ban
    However...
[12:31] Ban
    The steel that remains here even after
    breaking, crumbling, and taking hit after hit
[12:35] Ban
    may be tempered to cut through
    every metal in the universe
[12:42] Ban
    as the last sword of the samurai.
[12:46] G
    Now here's a surprise.
[12:48] G
    I can't believe they fended off
    my 4th Division so easily.
[12:51] G
    Just like that Takasugi,
[12:54] G
    it seems Earthlings aren't
    just a bunch of monkeys.
[12:58] G
    You're the monkey.
[13:00] G
    I didn't give you permission
    to deploy your troops.
[13:03] G
    This wouldn't have happened
    if you'd followed my orders.
[13:07] G
    Save your whining for your
    wife, you mecha geezer.
[13:11] G
    Wars aren't fought with your mind.
[13:14] G
    They're meant to be fought with headbutts.
[13:15] G
    My cranium is at least 50
    times as hard as yours.
[13:19] G
    Want to try it?
[13:21] G
    You know too little about the enemy.
[13:23] G
    They are...
[13:24] G
    Samurai.
[13:26] G
    Or should I say, the remnants of samurai?
[13:30] G
    That reminds me, didn't you fight in some
    Earth war back when you were a mercenary?
[13:36] G
    You're the Harusame's 2nd Division commander
    and said to be its finest swordsman.
[13:40] G
    I bet you cut down a ton of
    that island nation's warriors.
[13:44] G
    No, there was one man I couldn't cut.
[13:49] G
    But that's all in the past.
[13:53] G
    Samurai use group tactics that
    they call the art of war.
[13:57] G
    We'll split them up and
    destroy each group in turn.
[14:01] G
    Samurai history will end here
    today, by the Harusame's hands.
[14:07] G
    What's with these guys?
[14:08] G
    Weren't our enemies supposed
    to be just Earthlings?
[14:11] G
    Why are these monsters with them?
[14:14] Mut
    Monsters? Rude.
[14:16] Mut
    Sure, we have different blood flowin'
    through our veins than Earthlings.
SIGN    But so what?
[14:21] Mut
    We may not carry the same blood,
[14:24] Mut
    but we vowed to shed it on the same
    battlefield, for the same cause.
[14:29] Mut
    We're samurai!
[14:33] G
    Don't fight them head-on!
[14:34] G
    Samurai are highly experienced
    in close-quarters combat!
[14:37] G
    Burn those monkeys down!
[14:48] Ban
    What a boorish bunch.
[14:50] Ban
    During a musical performance, you're
    supposed to shut up and listen to the song.
[14:54] Ban
    Do your wax-filled ears not hear it?
[14:57] Ban
    This unrefined yet graceful,
[15:00] Ban
    haphazard yet harmonious
[15:07] Ban
    song of samurai?
[15:09] Shin
    Gin-san! Bansai-san!
[15:11] Gin
    Hey. Looks like you managed to
    run away from the grim reaper.
[15:15] Ban
    I didn't run from anything.
[15:17] Ban
    If anything, I chased after
[15:21] Ban
    the backs of you grim reapers.
[15:22] Kat
    I'm not a grim reaper! I'm Katsura!
[15:24] Sak
    Cease your name callin'!
[15:26] Sak
    How are we—
[15:31] Ban
    It is as you see.
[15:32] Ban
    Anyone who's with you can
    never have enough lives.
[15:36] Gin
    Not exactly.
[15:38] Gin
    As you see, we also have some helping hands.
[15:41] Gin
    I think I understand how Takasugi
    stayed alive all this time.
[15:48] Gin
    Were you the one defending
    that grim reaper's back?
[15:51] Ban
    Who knows?
[15:54] Ban
    All I know is that watching
    the backs of idiots like you
[15:58] Ban
    is never boring.
[16:01] Sak
    Gintoki! Zura!
[16:03] Sak
    We Kaientai will deal with the flies above!
[16:06] Sak
    You guys look for Takasugi below!
[16:10] Kat
    Sakamoto!
[16:11] Kat
    The enemy's trying to take
    us out one at a time!
[16:15] Kat
    If we split up when we're already
    outnumbered, we'll never win!
[16:16] G
    The insides, Katsura-san!
    The insides fell out!
[16:18] Sak
    Even if we gather in one place,
    we'll still be outnumbered.
[16:22] Sak
    In that case, we should
    each do whatever we can.
[16:27] Sak
    Besides, I believe...
[16:30] Sak
    Not in the strength of thousands of enemies,
[16:31] Sak
    but of those I've fought
    with thousands of times...
[16:34] Sak
    In the strength of you two.
[16:40] Sak
    The next time we meet,
[16:42] Sak
    it'll be as the four of us.
[16:46] Obo
    So the one who leaked the information
[16:49] Obo
    and saved the 7th Division and
    the Kiheitai really was him.
[16:53] Obo
    The reason he approached the Harusame
    Elders and took part in the operation
[16:58] Obo
    was to save his son?
[17:01] U
    Oboro, he has not lied to us once.
[17:05] (Flashback) UB
    It was to kill that rotten son
    of mine before you lot did.
[17:08] UB
    His eyes weren't lying.
[17:10] UB
    He wasn't thinking of anything
    but killing his son.
[17:14] UB
    In other words,
[17:17] UB
    he never thought about
    killing anyone but his son.
[17:23] UB
    The only exception
[17:25] UB
    is people who get in the way
    of their father-son spat.
[17:29] Obo
    So he, too, is meant to be
    an obstacle on your path?
[17:34] U
    I'd prefer not to call him an obstacle.
[17:38] U
    After all, I've finally found him...
[17:40] U
    Someone who, though I had yet to meet him,
[17:47] U
    might possibly be able to kill me.
[18:02] Abu
    What a striking sight.
[18:04] Abu
    Six of the twelve Harusame divisions
[18:06] Abu
    have moved out just to kill some survivors?
[18:10] Abu
    And half of them have moved out
    to hunt down just one man?
[18:15] UB
    All I see is a bunch of
    maggots crawling about.
[18:19] Abu
    Where I come from, a "striking sight"
    is one that strikes you with despair.
[18:24] UB
    Why are you coming with me?
[18:27] UB
    Your best chance to run is
    while I'm raising some hell.
[18:30] Abu
    They're planning to wipe out the Yato.
[18:34] Abu
    If we're gonna die anyway,
[18:35] Abu
    it wouldn't be too bad to die
    with a living Yato legend.
[18:40] UB
    I'm the guy who's here
    to kill your commander.
[18:44] Abu
    It's ironic.
[18:46] Abu
    To survive and see our
    commander again, we have to
[18:48] Abu
    cling to the power of the living legend,
    the man who came to kill our commander.
[18:55] UB
    Tell me what you know about the enemy.
[18:58] Abu
    We're up against three of the
    twelve Harusame divisions.
[19:01] Abu
    The most dangerous one of them all is
    the 1st Division, which leads the rest.
[19:05] Abu
    Its commander, Shirei, is
[19:07] Abu
    the longest serving and most
    successful leader in the 12 Divisions.
[19:10] Abu
    He's smart and strong.
[19:12] Abu
    You could call him the best of the best.
[19:14] UB
    Any others I should be wary of?
[19:16] Abu
    The Three Mad Stars have
    probably been reinstated, too.
[19:20] UB
    The Three Mad Stars?
[19:21] Abu
    Dangerous elements who were among
    the strongest in the 12 Divisions,
[19:26] Abu
    but were imprisoned for a long
    time due to breaking the rules.
[19:31] Abu
    The first...
[19:32] Abu
    The only commander in the 12 Divisions
    without any foot soldiers.
[19:36] Abu
    But this scheming monk can take over
    all troops on the battlefield.
[19:39] Abu
    The 3rd Division Commander, Uranus Hankai.
[19:44] Abu
    The second...
[19:45] Abu
    has an eye that can read people's minds,
[19:48] Abu
    and the moniker of "The Star Sword King."
[19:50] Abu
    He is the best swordsman in the Harusame,
[19:52] Abu
    2nd Division Commander, Pluto Bato.
[19:58] Abu
    And lastly...
[20:04] Abu
    The man possessing the most strength
    and athleticism in the Harusame,
[20:07] Abu
    the syndicate's best assassin...
[20:10] G
    Good grief.
[20:12] G
    How did my division get crushed
[20:15] G
    by a man with such delicate
    and effeminate features?
[20:19] Kat
    I'm not effeminate. I'm Katsura.
[20:21] Kat
    Out of the way, monkey.
[20:23] Kat
    I have no time to feed you millet
    dumplings or go to India with you.
[20:28] G
    I'm not a monkey.
[20:29] G
    I'm the Harusame's 4th Division Commander
    and one of the Three Mad Stars,
[20:35] G
    Neptune Shokaku!
[20:37] Kat
    Talk about long!
[20:38] Kat
    Your title is really long.
[20:40] Kat
    It's too long to remember.
[20:42] Kat
    Can't you make it more compact,
    like my "I'm not Zura. I'm Katsura"?
[20:46] Sho
    Yeah, but what am I supposed
    to do? That's my title.
[20:50] Kat
    I get wanting to say it all out loud.
[20:52] Kat
    But if you throw that much information at
    someone, they won't remember any of it.
[20:56] G
    Well, I'm not telling you
    to remember all of it.
[20:59] Kat
    Oh, is that so?
[20:59] Kat
    If that's how you're going to
    roll, then I'll do the same.
[21:02] Kat
    I'm not Zura!
[21:03] Kat
    I'm a Joi leader and former
    member of the Joi Elite Four,
[21:06] Kat
    feared as the Rampaging
    Noble and Runaway Kotaro,
[21:09] Kat
    Katsura Kotaro, type AB,
[21:11] Kat
    whose fortune for today is moderate.
    If you sweat the small stuff, you'll regret it.
[21:15] Kat
    Call me that!
[21:15] G
    Uh, the latter half wasn't even a title!
[21:18] Kat
    If you ask me, your "Three Mad Stars"
    is just as pointless as "type AB."
[21:24] Kat
    Like I could remember that!
[21:25] G
    Yeah, that's impossible.
[21:26] G
    Was the Three Mad Stars
    thing that pointless?
[21:29] Kat
    Basically, the important thing is
    to pick what you want to say most
[21:33] Kat
    and to do it in a clear and concise manner!
SIGN    Nobody cares, so could you get on with it?
[21:35] G
    Fine, I get it!
[21:37] G
    I get it, so don't say any more.
    Damn, you're annoying.
[21:39] Kat
    Do you really get it, monkey?
[21:44] G
    I'm not a monkey.
[21:46] G
    I'm Shokaku, a big-hearted type O!
[21:49] G
    That's what you go with?!
[21:52] Kat
    Bring it on, Sho... Shoke?
[21:57] Kat
    You rotten monkey!
[21:59] G
    In the end, you still couldn't remember it?!
SIGN    To Be Continued
SIGN    Preview
[23:39] Kat
    So, yeah, I ended up fighting...
    er... that... thing.
[23:45] Gin
    I know you're hardheaded,
[23:46] Gin
    but did your brain turn hard, too, Zura?
[23:49] Kat
    I'm not Zura! I'm Katsura!
SIGN    Battle on Rakuyo Arc

    Harusame's 4th Division Commander and one of the Three Mad Stars, Neptune Shokaku,
[23:53] ---
    has Zura (type AB) about
    to go berserk on him?!
[23:59] ---
    There's not much room in these
