**[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.

**[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
Part Four
**[23:50] Kat**
No, I'm...
***SIGN*** Zura
**[23:53] ---**
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
captions for such long titles,
**[23:59] ---**
so we like the nice, compact ones!
