[00:10] Otose
    Honestly...
[00:11] Otose
    It's been two weeks. I wonder where that idiot has wandered off to.
SIGN    [Gin-san's lost memories. They never came back in the end...]
SIGN    [The Odd Jobs has been dissolved and Gin-san has gone missing. It isn't going to end like this, is it?]
SIGN    [Resumé - Sagaru Yamazaki]
[01:55] Mamushi
    Umm... Yamazaki...
[01:59] Mamushi
    How do you read this?
[02:01] Yamazaki
    It's Sagaru. Sagaru Yamazaki.
[02:04] Yamazaki (Mono)
    Yes. My name is Sagaru Yamazaki.
[02:07] Yamazaki (Mono)
    I'm a spy for the Shinsengumi... The elite police force that makes even children go silent with fear.
[02:11] Yamazaki (Mono)
    So why have I come to this factory... And why for an interview?
[02:15] Mamushi
    Oh. I see.
[02:17] Mamushi
    Lost your job, huh? Lately the town has been crawling with samurai who can't find jobs.
[02:22] Yamazaki (Mono)
    Of course, I have not lost my job. In fact, it's my job that brings me here.
[02:30] Mamushi
    Long ago...
[02:32] Mamushi
    I once had a sword on my waist, too.
[02:35] ---
    Now, look at me.
[02:36] ---
    Well, there are a lot of...
[02:38] Mamushi
    Fallen samurai like you here. Make friends with them, okay?
[02:42] ---
    Hey.
[02:43] Mamushi
    Everyone, we've got a newcomer.
[02:47] Gintoki
    Hey.
SIGN    ["Life Moves On Like a Conveyor Belt"]
[02:58] Yamazaki
    What?!
[02:59] ---
    You're from the Odd Jobs!
[03:01] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?!
[03:03] Yamazaki
    It's me. Yamazaki of the Shinsengumi.
[03:07] ---
    Actually, due to certain circumstances, I've snuck into this place to do an undercover investigation.
[03:10] Mamushi
    Hey. Just to let you know, he has amnesia and doesn't know anything about his past.
[03:14] Yamazaki
    Amnesia?!
[03:16] Gintoki
    That's the case. Sorry.
[03:18] Gintoki
    You seem to be an old acquaintance, but I don't remember you.
[03:21] ---
    Umm, what's the Shinsengumi? Can I call you Shin-chan?
[03:24] Yamazaki
    Hold on! I told you that this is an undercover investigation.
[03:27] ---
    Oh. I said it out loud!!
[03:30] Gintoki
    Why do you keep hitting my head?
[03:33] Gintoki
    Do you think you're a tambourine player?
[03:35] ---
    If you don't like Shin-chan, then how about Sen-chan for undercover investigation?
[03:38] Yamazaki
    Are you trying to annoy me? I told you! I'm Yamazaki.
[03:41] Gintoki
    I don't remember you, so I'll call you Tamboura.
[03:43] Yamazaki
    You don't remember? You don't even want to remember!
[03:47] Yamazaki
    Come to think of it, you're acting different than usual and your eyes aren't lifeless.
[03:50] ---
    Huh? But what happened to the Odd Jobs?
[03:52] Yamazaki
    What happened to everyone else?
[03:55] Gintoki
    The Odd Jobs...
[04:01] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan...
[04:03] Shinpachi
    You came here again? I told you it's dangerous. This place could come tumbling down...
[04:09] Shinpachi
    Come on, let's go home. Sis and Sadaharu are waiting.
[04:20] Shinpachi
    Will you quit with the nibble-nibbling, already?! Is your name Ohori?!
[04:25] ---
    What do you plan to do with all that pickled seaweed?!
[04:31] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan, don't tell me you're planning to sit here until Gin-san comes back?
[04:37] Shinpachi
    The doctor was saying a person's memory is like intertwined branches.
[04:43] ---
    If one of the branches is moved, the others will start to move too.
[04:49] Shinpachi
    But if that tree has withered...Then its branches may just fall off.
[04:58] Shinpachi
    Gin-san doesn't remember little branches like us...
[05:02] Kagura
    He hasn't withered.
[05:04] Kagura
    I won't let him wither.
[05:06] Kagura
    We may be little branches...but if the branches break, then the tree really will wither.
[05:14] Kagura
    So I won't break.
[05:16] ---
    Even if winter comes and the leaves fall off.
[05:18] ---
    Even if the wind blows and all the other branches fall down, I'll be the last branch of all!
[05:25] Kagura
    I'll stick with the tree until the very end!
[05:37] Shinpachi
    He'd damn well better come back.
[05:41] Shinpachi
    If he doesn't hurry our crap's gonna start turning green.
[05:47] Kagura
    Hey, don't eat that without my permission!
[05:51] Otose
    Oh my.
[05:52] Otose
    I thought all the noisy ones finally disappeared. So you're still here?
[05:58] Otose
    This could be a problem. See, I want to tear down the second floor right away.
[06:04] Kagura
    Wait. We'll bring back Gin-chan.
[06:08] Otose
    You'll bring him back? Do you even know where he is?
[06:17] Otose
    I heard a man with silver hair is working as a live-in at this factory.
[06:22] Otose
    Go bring him back quick.
[06:27] Otose
    He still owes me rent.
SIGN    [Mamushi Factory]
[06:31] Mamushi
    Hey! What are you doing?
[06:34] Mamushi
    If one person on the assembly line makes a mistake, the whole line stops!
[06:38] Yamazaki
    S-Sorry.
[06:40] Mamushi
    Sorry won't cut it. I keep telling you the same thing. It's easy.
[06:45] Mamushi
    It's like this! You put this here and assemble it!
[06:54] Yamazaki
    Anyway, what are we making? What does this factory produce?
[06:59] Mamushi
    It's obvious. Justaways dolls, of course!
[07:02] Yamazaki
    I'm asking you what a "Justaway" is!
[07:05] Mamushi
    A Justaway is a Justaway. Nothing else. Nothing more, nothing less.
[07:10] Yamazaki
    But it's just a piece of junk! How am I supposed to care about making one!
[07:14] Mamushi
    Look. All you have to do is empty your mind and move your hands.
[07:18] ---
    Check out Sakata.
[07:23] Worker A
    Wow! He's incredibly fast!
[07:25] Worker B
    As expected of Sakata-san. He rolls out Justaways so fast you can't even see 'em!
[07:30] Mamushi
    At this rate, he'll make vice-president inside a year!
[07:32] Mamushi
    Everyone, try not to lose to him!
[07:34] Workers
    All right!
[07:36] Yamazaki
    They hire vice-presidents based on assembly line speed? This place is doomed!
[07:42] Yamazaki
    No, I still haven't found anything out. Yes...
[07:46] ---
    Really?! All right. I'll head back right away.
[07:51] Yamazaki
    I'm checking out of here. Apparently, Chief Kondo has gone missing.
[07:56] Gintoki
    Jimmy, you can't abandon your Justaways just for that.
[07:59] Gintoki
    Nobody does well in the beginning. You'll get used to things.
[08:02] Yamazaki
    Who's Jimmy?! Are you saying I'm boring? Anyway, I was only here to spy!
[08:11] Yamazaki
    I think you should leave this place as soon as possible.
[08:14] Yamazaki
    There are some dark rumors about the plant Boss.
[08:18] Yamazaki
    To the public, he's a humanitarian taking care of down-and-out samurai who can't find jobs.
[08:23] ---
    But it's rumored that he actually shelters rebel fighters
[08:25] ---
    until he can carry out his plan to overthrow the government.
[08:29] Yamazaki
    This factory is actually building weapons to supply the rebels.
[08:34] Yamazaki
    And now he's preparing a weapon of mass destruction.
[08:38] ---
    There aren't any good rumors about him.
[08:40] Yamazaki
    Well, in the end, this is the only thing I found...
[08:44] Yamazaki
    But as they say, "where's there's smoke, there's fire"...
[08:47] Gintoki
    Are you saying that he's an erowrist?! I mean terrorist?
[08:49] Gintoki
    Stop making up excuses!
[08:51] ---
    That man is my benefactor. It takes balls to hire down-and-outers like me!
[08:53] Yamazaki
    I don't think it takes balls.
[08:55] Yamazaki
    More like a maniacal scheme running off slave labor.
[08:58] Yamazaki
    Anyway, what happened to you?
[09:00] Gintoki
    I was just a worthless degenerate before I got this job.
[09:07] ---
    Boss...
[09:09] Yamazaki
    Is that so? I'm a little disappointed.
[09:13] Yamazaki
    I mean, not about you being a degenerate. That's obvious.
[09:16] Yamazaki
    But Chief Kondo and Vice-chief Okita obviously respect you.
[09:20] Kondo
    Sakata-san, work's about to start.
[09:22] Yamazaki
    Oh no.
[09:24] Yamazaki
    I'll be off...
[09:25] Kondo
    Sakata-san, could you look at my Justaway?
[09:29] Kondo
    What do you think of it?
[09:31] Gintoki
    Well, I think you should lift this up just a bit, Gorilla-san.
[09:35] Yamazaki
    Have you lost your frikiking mind?!
[09:38] Gintoki
    Gorilla-san!
[09:40] Yamazaki
    Hello? I found the idiot. Yes. I'm taking him back right away.
[09:44] Gintoki
    Gorilla-san, get a hold of yourself!
[09:46] ---
    Jimmy, what was that for?!
[09:48] Gintoki
    Gorilla-san is another amnesia victim!
[09:51] Gintoki
    His brain's like a cheap game console! Bump it and it freezes!
[09:56] Yamazaki
    Amnesia?! Is that true, Chief?!
[10:00] Yamazaki
    You're an idiot, but why have you got such a complicated condition?!
[10:03] Yamazaki
    You're such an idiot!
[10:04] Gintoki
    That's going overboard, Jimmy. Idiots, in their own idiotic way, have their own idiotic problems!
[10:08] Yamazaki
    Shut up. I'm tired. You two are such a pain.
[10:12] Yamazaki
    Anyway, we're going home, Chief!
[10:14] Kondo
    Stop! I still have to fix my Justaway!!
[10:18] Kondo
    I want people to be proud of me! I want to be special!!
[10:20] ---
    It doesn't matter what it is, but I promised pops I was going to become number one.
[10:22] Yamazaki
    Then don't worry. You're the world's biggest idiot.
[10:24] Yamazaki
    Come on. Quickly!
[10:26] Kondo
    No! No!
[10:36] Worker B
    An explosion!
[10:38] Worker A
    Boss, did a Justaway accidentally go off?
[10:42] Mamushi
    Who is responsible for this?!
[10:47] Yamazaki
    No way!
[10:48] ---
    The Justaway exploded!!
[10:50] Kondo
    No way! We were making bombs?!
[10:53] Gintoki
    This is terrible... Did pops really do this?
[10:56] Gintoki
    He griped a lot about losing his job because of the government and swore vengeance, but...
[11:00] Yamazaki
    Of course it's him! These are all top grade ingredients!
[11:03] Yamazaki
    What about it can't you believe?
[11:05] Kondo
    It's not the Justaway's fault! That man was bad.
[11:09] Kondo
    The Justaways have done no wrong.
[11:10] Yamazaki
    Are you still carrying those? Get rid of them right away!!
[11:15] Mamushi
    You bastards! How dare you ruin my plans!
[11:19] Mamushi
    I'm going to slaughter you spies!
[11:21] Yamazaki
    Ack! Pops is headed this way!
[11:23] Gintoki
    Jimmy, this way.
[11:28] Mamushi
    You're not getting away from me!!
[11:36] Yamazaki
    Hey! I thought you couldn't fight him! But you didn't hesitate there!
[11:41] Gintoki
    Did I say that, Gorilla-san?
[11:42] Kondo
    It's no good. I can't remember. I have amnesia.
[11:45] Yamazaki
    What a convenient form of amnesia!
[11:52] Mamushi
    Don't move.
[11:54] Mamushi
    Too bad.
[11:56] Mamushi
    Though I may not look it, I used to chase crooks as a police officer.
[11:59] Mamushi
    They called me Banzo the Viper.
[12:02] Mamushi
    You got me pretty good. I never thought that you were government spies.
[12:07] Mamushi
    Just a little longer and I would have taught them all a lesson.
[12:11] Mamushi
    But now that this has happened,
[12:14] Mamushi
    I still have the power to turn this rotten world upside down.
[12:19] Okita
    All right, step back. It's dangerous. You'll end up like him.
[12:23] Okita
    He doesn't look hurt, but trust me he's suffering inside.
[12:28] Hijikata
    Hell of a mess that turned out to be.
[12:30] Okita
    You're pretty messy too.
[12:32] Hijikata
    You think that jerk Yamazaki died in that?
[12:35] Okita
    I'll bet you're going to die, too, aren't you?
[12:38] Harada
    Vice-chief!
[12:39] Harada
    We just got word that the Chief is inside with Yamazaki.
[12:44] Hijikata
    What?
[12:45] Hijikata
    Come on. If it was just Yamazaki, I was going to say forget it.
[12:49] Hijikata
    But I can't do that if Kondo-san is with him.
[12:51] Okita
    Hijikata-san...
[12:52] Okita
    I forgot my flute at home. I'm going to go and fetch it.
[12:55] Hijikata
    Okay. Don't come back.
[12:58] Hijikata
    Jeez. How pathetic. That's enough. I'll go by myself. You all wait here.
[13:03] Squad Member B
    Hey!! Look over there!
[13:05] Squad Member B
    Something's coming out.
[13:06] Harada
    What's that?
[13:08] Squad Member C
    A cannon?! A big-ass cannon came out!
[13:11] Harada
    T-That's the weapon they were secretly building?
[13:15] Hijikata
    Sogo, I forgot my protractor at home. I'm going to go and fetch it.
[13:19] Okita
    Hijikata-san, it's all right. I have a protractor right here.
[13:31] Cm Bumpercm Bumpertasuke
    October 6. Today, my father hit me for the first time.
[13:36] Tasuke
    It was a hard punch.
[13:38] Tasuke
    It was a punch from a man who shouldered
[13:41] Tasuke
    our family and many important responsibilities on his back.
[13:46] Tasuke
    My pitiful little fist couldn't have hit like that.
[13:49] Tasuke
    It was the punch of a loser who quit his job
[13:52] Tasuke
    and never held anything but a game console controller for two years and three months.
[13:56] Mamushi
    I don't care what you do with your life.
[14:00] Mamushi
    You've got to live with yourself.
[14:03] Mamushi
    Just understand this: If you wallow in crap, you're going to stink.
[14:07] Tasuke
    As he left for work after saying these words, his shoulders looked broader to me than ever before.
[14:13] Tasuke
    Could I become strong like my father?
[14:17] Tasuke
    I went outside for the first time in two years.
[14:19] Tasuke
    My legs naturally followed my father.
[14:21] Tasuke
    Banzo the Viper. That was my father's other name.
[14:25] Tasuke
    Mamushi, a police officer who made criminals tremble.
[14:29] Tasuke
    I wanted to see his face. I wanted to learn what it was to know him.
[14:37] Tasuke
    But all I saw...was a beaten man with a cheap sake bottle in his hands.
[14:43] Tasuke
    He'd lost his job to downsizing the month before.
[14:46] Mamushi
    No!!
[14:49] Mamushi
    You can't imagine how that felt!
[14:52] Mamushi
    How it felt to read my son's diary!!
[14:56] Mamushi
    If I'd kept my job just a little longer, he would have straightened out his life!
[15:00] ---
    Instead, my son went from being a recluse to becoming a yakuza!
[15:04] ---
    He's gone from the north pole to the south pole.
[15:07] Hijikata
    That's a great thing to talk about over drinks.
[15:09] Mamushi
    Am I supposed to take that and keep smiling?
[15:12] Mamushi
    I devoted thirty years of my life to my country,
[15:17] Mamushi
    but my family and the government dumped me like I was garbage!
[15:19] ---
    There's something wrong! There's something wrong with this world!
[15:22] Mamushi
    So I'm going to change it!!
[15:24] Mamushi
    I'm going to destroy this corrupt country and
[15:28] Mamushi
    cause a revolution with this Viper Z that took me ten years to make!
[15:31] Hijikata
    It's a corrupt country, but you mustn't forget that people live here.
[15:37] ---
    Before you start a revolution in this country, why don't you start one within yourself?
[15:40] ---
    That's a lot cheaper.
[15:43] Mamushi
    Shut up! You can't understand how I feel!
[15:47] Hijikata
    Ready the cannon.
[15:51] Hijikata
    No, not that way.
[15:53] Hijikata
    Why are you surprised?! I'm the one who should be surprised!
[15:56] Harada
    Vice-chief!! Isn't that...
[15:58] Hijikata
    Chief! Yamazaki! Huh?! Why is that guy there, too?
[16:04] Mamushi
    I know that... They're your friends.
[16:07] ---
    Shoot if you want to stop me. But they'll be blown to bits, too.
[16:13] Hijikata
    Sogo!
[16:16] Okita
    Long ago, Kondo may or may not have said that if he was caught by an enemy
[16:20] Okita
    to shoot without hesitation.
[16:24] Hijikata
    You fired at them because of a perfunctory reason like that?!
[16:26] Yamazaki
    They fired! They fired at us!
[16:30] Gintoki
    Who are those people?! I thought you said they were your friends?!
[16:34] Yamazaki
    They're not my friends!
[16:36] Yamazaki
    Chief, I'm going to quit the Shinsengumi. Huh? Where's the Chief?
[16:40] Kondo
    Hey. Over here. Is everyone safe? Are you all right?
[16:43] Yamazaki
    Chief, are you all right?!
[16:48] Kondo
    It's as if I've just awakened from a long dream.
[16:51] Yamazaki
    Chief, could it be that your memories have returned?
[16:53] ---
    Uh, your head...!
[16:54] Kondo
    Yes. It's as if the fog has cleared from my mind.
[16:57] Kondo
    It's refreshing. Yamazaki, it seems I caused you a lot of trouble.
[17:02] Yamazaki
    Not really. But, your head...
[17:05] Kondo
    Anyway, right now, it's time for us to get out of here. Let's go.
[17:08] Yamazaki
    Chief! Wait!
[17:10] Yamazaki
    He's still...
[17:12] Gintoki
    It's all right. Go, Jimmy, Gorilla-san.
[17:15] Gintoki
    Clear out before they catch you.
[17:19] Kondo
    Such a pain! Normally, I'd just leave you, but you've done no wrong!
[17:24] Kondo
    Buy me a beer when you get your memory back.
[17:28] Gintoki
    Gorilla-san...
[17:29] Worker B
    Hey! What are you doing?
[17:35] Hijikata
    Now! Fire!!
[17:41] Worker A
    Boss!!
[17:42] Mamushi
    Fire! Use the... Viper Z!
[17:49] Kondo
    Crap!!
[17:55] Yamazaki
    Chief!!
[18:02] Hijikata
    Hey, is everyone still alive?
[18:05] Okita
    This thing is insane.
[18:07] Okita
    It seems like it has enough power to really be able to wipe out the country.
[18:14] Yamazaki
    Chief!
[18:15] Yamazaki
    Chief, get a hold of yourself!
[18:17] Yamazaki
    Chief! Chief!
[18:20] Yamazaki
    Chief!
[18:22] Mamushi
    Did you see the power of the Viper Z?! With this, Edo will be scorched in an instant.
[18:28] Mamushi
    Go ahead! Just try to stop me!
[18:30] Mamushi
    You weak samurai who have adjusted to the times cannot stop me!
[18:35] Mamushi
    Come on! If you don't hurry, I'll force my next shot.
[18:38] Mamushi
    Everyone's Edo will become a scorched field!
[18:41] ---
    What's wrong? Are you frozen in fear? How pathetic.
[18:49] Shinpachi
    If you want to shoot, be our guest.
[18:51] Kagura
    We don't care if you fry or boil Edo.
[18:55] Shinpachi
    You just better not shoot these people.
[18:57] Mamushi
    Wh-Who are you?! This isn't a place for kids!
[19:01] Mamushi
    Go home. Do you want to turn into ashes?!
[19:03] Gintoki
    W-Why?
[19:05] Gintoki
    Why are you here? Why did you come all the way here?
[19:08] Gintoki
    Didn't I tell you to forget all about me?
[19:10] ---
    I said we should live however we wanted to.
[19:15] Kagura
    You didn't have to tell us that. We're already living the way we want to.
[19:19] Shinpachi
    We came here because we wanted to.
[19:21] Shinpachi
    We came here to be with you.
[19:24] Gintoki (Mono)
    Why? I don't get it.
[19:27] Otae
    The Gin-san right now seems a lot more serious than that worthless Gin-san...
[19:30] Gintoki (Mono)
    They called me a worthless man.
[19:33] Yamazaki
    I mean, not about you being a degenerate.
[19:34] Gintoki (Mono)
    Why am I...
[19:37] Gintoki (Mono)
    Why are they all...
[19:55] ---
    here?
[20:11] Okita
    You kids stay out of this. Do you want to die?
[20:14] Kagura
    What?! You're a kid, too!
[20:16] Shinpachi
    What's with you guys anyway?
[20:17] Hijikata
    I don't like it, but it's our job. We have to protect ordinary citizens.
[20:22] Hijikata
    What about it, Mr. Viper? If you want to fire, fire on us all.
[20:26] Hijikata
    I don't care if it's the Chin Cannon
[20:29] Shinpachi
    That's right. Shoot at us, Mr. Laid-off cop!!

[21:04] Shinpachi
    Huh? Oh... Yes.
[21:08] Gintoki
