SIGN Please watch this program in a bright room
and at a safe distance from your TV!!!!!!
[01:42] Gu
So this is the samurai "art of war," huh?
[01:45] Gu
Imagine, blocking my attack head-on.
It's almost like magic or sorcery.
[01:50] K
The art of war isn't magic.
[01:53] K
"A single stick is enough to
get rid of a monkey in heat."
[01:57] K
That's the only line in the damn book!
[02:01] Gu
I like it!
[02:02] Gu
I don't like tricks myself.
[02:05] Gu
I've made it this far with a single stick.
[02:07] Gu
Even with ships that can travel the stars,
[02:10] Gu
we'd rather stand on the bodies of
our enemies than stand on the moon!
[02:16] Gu
Nothing's changed since
we crawled on the ground!
[02:19] Gu
All men are monkeys!
[02:22] Gu
Now, let's find out who's
king of monkey mountain!
[02:33] Gu
That was a rotten move.
[02:35] Gu
You're the one who said you'd
use just a single stick!
[02:41] Gu
I lost a tooth!
[02:43] K
Didn't you know?
[02:46] K
A stick always comes with balls.
[02:56] K
Elizabeth, run!
[03:01] K
I knew it! An ambush!
[03:04] K
Keep running under the cover of the smoke!
[03:07] K
No matter what happens, keep running!
[03:09] K
Keep looking forward and keep running!
[03:11] K
Can you do it?
SIGN Why are you asking me this now?
SIGN Katsura-san, we've been
running all this time.
SIGN We've been running with you, believing you're heading for tomorrow.
SIGN And we'll stay with you.
[03:22] K
Forgive me, Elizabeth, everyone.
[03:25] K
I can't win this battle as I am now.
[03:29] K
As a general who leads an organization,
[03:33] K
I can't beat that thing.
[03:35] K
So I have to go back.
[03:38] K
Not for my organization, or for my comrades...
[03:42] K
I must wield my sword for my own sake,
[03:45] K
as a lone monkey.
[03:49] Gu
Kotaro the Runaway.
[03:51] Gu
Isn't that what you said you were?
[03:55] Gu
Wouldn't have expected you to stay
behind so your comrades could escape.
[04:00] K
Nobody would call me that if I couldn't
tell which people I could run away from,
[04:04] K
and which I couldn't.
[04:07] Gu
I see.
[04:08] Gu
So you've accepted your fate?
[04:10] K
It's not accepting my fate.
[04:12] K
It's resolve.
[04:14] K
I won't run anywhere again.
[04:28] (Flashback) Gu
No, what are you talking about?
[04:30] (Flashback) Gu
It's gotta be Gintoki-san!
[04:32] (Flashback) Gu
You saw how bold he was when he launched
that surprise attack on that huge army.
[04:36] (Flashback) Gu
The way he fought like a demon!
[04:38] (Flashback) Gu
Nobody could beat him, enemy or ally!
[04:41] (Flashback) Gu
What are you talking about?
[04:42] (Flashback) Gu
That surprise attack wouldn't have worked
without the help of the Kiheitai.
[04:46] (Flashback) Gu
The tactics that overpowered
modern weapons!
[04:49] (Flashback) Gu
The strength to bring down a battleship!
[04:51] (Flashback) Gu
The strongest is our leader,
Takasugi Shinsuke!
[04:55] (Flashback) Gu
What are you people talkin' about?
[04:57] (Flashback) Gu
Who do you think is makin' this war possible?
[05:01] (Flashback) Gu
Soldiers. Weapons. Money.
[05:04] (Flashback) Gu
It's because somebody's providin'
all that stuff, right?
[05:07] (Flashback) Gu
In other words, the strongest
is the Dragon of Katsurahama,
[05:10] (Flashback) Gu
Sakamoto Tatsuma—
[05:11] (Flashback) Gu
No way.
[05:12] (Flashback) Gu
Yeah, no matter what, I know that's not true.
[05:14] (Flashback) Gu
His obsession with money and the loudness
of his voice would beat anyone, though.
[05:20] (Flashback) Gu
Oh, I see.
[05:21] (Flashback) Gu
I can whisper too, though.
[05:24] (Flashback) Gu
So it's either Gintoki-san
or Takasugi-san, right?
[05:29] (Flashback) Gu
Actually, what about Katsura-san?
[05:32] (Flashback) Gu
To be honest, I don't really understand him.
[05:36] (Flashback) Gu
He's kind of like the leader of the Four
Devas, who has calmed the rampages
[05:40] (Flashback) Gu
of Gintoki-san and Takasugi-san
since they were young.
[05:43] (Flashback) Gu
It's true that as a general
and leader, he's ideal.
[05:47] (Flashback) Gu
But his strength in war,
and his individual strength...
[05:51] (Flashback) Gu
It's hard to measure.
[05:52] (Flashback) Gu
His skill lies in steady defensive
battles rather than bold offensives.
[05:56] (Flashback) Gu
For that reason, Gintoki-san
usually wins the battle glory.
[06:01] (Flashback) Gu
He doesn't attack and doesn't
fall for provocations.
[06:03] (Flashback) Gu
You know what the enemy
calls the way he fights?
[06:07] (Flashback) Gu
"Kotaro the Runaway..."
[06:10] (Flashback) Gu
"Steady" sounds like a good thing,
[06:12] (Flashback) Gu
but it can also mean cowardice...
[06:14] (Flashback) Gu
Zura? A coward?
[06:17] (Flashback) Gu
You guys really don't know anything.
[06:19] (Flashback) Gu
Gintoki and Takasugi will laugh at you.
[06:22] (Flashback) Gu
S-Sakamoto-san? When did you show up?
[06:26] (Flashback) Gu
Um, I just got here.
[06:28] (Flashback) Gu
You say he's achieved less in battle
than Gintoki and the others?
[06:31] (Flashback) Gu
That's only because you haven't
noticed what he's done.
[06:35] (Flashback) Gu
It's harder to fight a losing
battle than a winning one.
[06:39] (Flashback) Gu
If you don't know when to retreat,
[06:40] (Flashback) Gu
you won't ever be able
to rebuild your forces.
[06:43] (Flashback) Gu
A battle without glory, where you protect
your allies instead of attackin' your foes...
[06:48] (Flashback) Gu
Only a master of war could be
entrusted with such a thing.
[06:53] (Flashback) Gu
Without Zura, we would've
lost the war a long time ago.
[06:57] (Flashback) Gu
So you're saying that Katsura-san
is the strongest, then?
[07:01] (Flashback) Gu
We're back to who's the strongest now?
[07:04] (Flashback) Gu
Well, you wouldn't know unless you
stripped the coward's skin off him.
SIGN Grave of the Katsura Clan
[07:11] (Flashback) Gu
He lost his parents to
illness when he was little.
[07:15] (Flashback) Gu
His mansion was confiscated,
[07:16] (Flashback) Gu
and at one point, he and his
grandmother were homeless.
[07:21] (Flashback) Gi
Kotaro, what do you think is
the most important quality
[07:25] (Flashback) Gi
a general needs to lead an army?
[07:30] (Flashback) Gi
Whether he's a warrior who
can defeat a thousand foes
[07:33] (Flashback) Gi
or a wise strategist who knows
how to use his soldiers,
[07:36] (Flashback) Gi
if the general goes down, the battle is lost.
[07:40] (Flashback) Gi
If you die, you can't protect your soldiers,
your country, or anything else.
[07:45] (Flashback) Gi
Thus, a general must be the greatest
coward on the battlefield.
[07:51] (Flashback) Gi
So Kotaro, feel free to cry.
[07:56] (Flashback) Gi
You can cry. You can be weak.
[07:59] (Flashback) Gi
As long as the general lives,
[08:01] (Flashback) Gi
as long as you live,
[08:03] (Flashback) Gi
the Katsura clan will not die.
[08:05] (Flashback) Gi
It's okay if they call you a coward.
[08:08] (Flashback) Gi
Survive, Kotaro.
[08:10] (Flashback) Gi
No matter what they say about you,
[08:14] (Flashback) Gi
we know that you are a great general.
[08:17] (Flashback) Gu
He lost his grandmother too,
and was all alone in the world,
[08:21] (Flashback) Gu
becoming the head of the
Katsura clan at a young age.
[08:24] (Flashback) Gu
And as he bore that heavy burden,
he cloaked himself in a coward's skin.
[08:29] (Flashback) Gi
That's the boy they all say
is really smart, right?
[08:32] (Flashback) Gi
I heard there was talk of
someone adopting him,
[08:35] (Flashback) Gi
but he says that a samurai
must raise himself.
[08:42] (Flashback) K
Grandma... It's tough being a general, huh?
[08:46] (Flashback) K
Even if you run from all danger
[08:48] (Flashback) K
and survive all by yourself,
[08:50] (Flashback) K
you can't escape the loneliness.
[08:52] (Flashback) K
You can't make it through the
night just by being a coward.
[08:56] (Flashback) K
So I'm going to be a samurai who's stronger
and more cowardly than anyone else.
[09:01] (Flashback) K
So that I can protect
[09:03] (Flashback) K
not only myself, but the comrades who
must make it through the night with me,
[09:07] (Flashback) K
I'll be strong, and a coward...
[09:11] (Flashback) Gu
To protect his family line,
to protect his comrades,
[09:15] (Flashback) Gu
he's continued his cowardly battle.
[09:18] (Flashback) Gu
Even while people mock him
as Kotaro the Runaway.
[09:21] (Flashback) Gu
But if a general appeared whom
he could entrust everything to...
[09:26] (Flashback) Gu
If an enemy appeared whom he couldn't
defeat unless he bet everything...
[09:29] (Flashback) Gu
Once the coward's skin was stripped off,
[09:33] (Flashback) Gu
you might learn his real name.
[09:54] (Flashback) G
Zura... Zura...
[09:56] (Flashback) G
Hey, Zura...
[09:58] (Flashback) G
Want to try fighting me for once?
[10:01] (Flashback) K
Who the heck is Zura?
[10:03] (Flashback) G
You, obviously.
[10:04] (Flashback) G
It's too much effort to call you Katsura.
[10:06] (Flashback) K
It's just adding the "Ka"!
[10:08] (Flashback) K
Say people's names right!
[10:09] (Flashback) G
Whatever. Let's fight.
[10:11] (Flashback) G
I'm sick of fighting that idiot.
[10:14] (Flashback) G
It's obvious I'm going to win.
[10:16] (Flashback) T
Hey.
[10:16] (Flashback) T
I've got 57 wins and 56 losses. I'm winning.
[10:20] (Flashback) T
And it's no use inviting him.
[10:23] (Flashback) T
"A general shouldn't carelessly sully his
name with personal battles," he says.
[10:27] (Flashback) K
That's right.
[10:28] (Flashback) K
I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
[10:30] (Flashback) G
Then I'll be this "general"
so you don't have to.
[10:34] (Flashback) ---
What?
[10:35] (Flashback) G
It's because of that "general" thing that
you can't do what you want, right?
[10:40] (Flashback) G
I'll be your general.
[10:42] (Flashback) G
So when you're with me, just be Zura.
[10:47] (Flashback) K
Wh-What are you sayi—
[10:48] (Flashback) G
Now you can have personal battles
or whatever you want, right?
[10:51] (Flashback) G
And when you're here, you're the general.
[10:53] (Flashback) T
Don't just make someone else do it!
[10:55] (Flashback) G
It'll be easier if we all share the work.
SIGN M T W Th F Sat Sun
SIGN Takasugi Zura Off
[10:58] (Flashback) G
Okay, you do it from Monday to Wednesday.
[10:59] (Flashback) G
Zura can do it from Thursday to Saturday.
[11:01] (Flashback) G
I'll do it Sunday if I'm bored.
[11:02] (Flashback) T
Don't turn it into a shift system!
[11:04] (Flashback) T
You're barely doing it at all!
[11:05] (Flashback) G
So, what's a general?
[11:07] (Flashback) G
How much does it pay per hour?
[11:08] (Flashback) T
It doesn't pay anything!
[11:09] (Flashback) T
Instead, you pay others!
[11:10] (Flashback) G
Oh, like a shop general.
[11:11] (Flashback) T
What's a shop general?
[11:12] (Flashback) T
Don't you mean just a store manager?!
[11:14] (Flashback) G
But...
[11:14] (Flashback) T
You're an idiot, aren't you? You're an idiot!
[11:16] (Flashback) G
What did you say?!
[11:17] (Flashback) K
Draw your sword.
[11:20] (Flashback) K
You can't be a general.
[11:22] (Flashback) K
I'll make it clear who's
worthy to be a general.
[11:29] (Flashback) G
Fine by me! Let's do it, Zura!
SIGN Sugar Content
[11:31] (Flashback) K
I'm not Zura! I'm Katsura!
[11:36] K
I see...
[11:40] K
That's right.
[11:45] Gu
It's a shame.
[11:47] Gu
With your skills, you could've
run one of the 12 Divisions.
[11:52] Gu
But it was fun, Katsura Kotaro.
[12:00] K
I'm not Katsura.
[12:03] K
I'm Zura!
SIGN Battle on Rakuyo Arc
Part Four
SIGN Zura
[12:12] K
I'm not Katsura.
[12:14] K
I'm Zura!
[12:27] Gu
He's totally different from before.
[12:31] Gu
He's attacking like a wild beast
that's given up on defense.
[12:34] Gu
Did he snap and forget who he was?
[12:36] Gu
But...
[12:37] Gu
In terms of number of blows,
he can't stop a real beast!
[12:48] Gu
You bastard!
[12:54] Gu
He didn't forget who he was...
[12:59] Gu
He just threw it aside,
[13:01] Gu
of his own will!
[13:04] Gu
He's sacrificing his own life to take mine!
[13:09] Gu
Impressive resolve.
[13:12] Gu
You can't have my life,
but you've won my heart!
[13:17] Gu
The real war starts now!
[13:19] Gu
I'm begging you, samurai!
[13:21] Gu
Don't die yet!
[13:31] Gu
We're finally fighting like monkeys.
[13:37] Gu
The only weapons we've got
left are our own bodies.
[13:43] Gu
For us men, simple is best.
[13:45] K
Just your body?
[13:47] K
What are you talking about?
You can barely move your limbs.
[13:51] Gu
Unfortunately for you, I've still
got something up my sleeve.
[13:55] K
What a coincidence.
[13:56] K
So do I.
[14:02] (Flashback) K
Then it's settled.
[14:04] (Flashback) K
I, Katsura Kotaro, am the one
best suited to be a general.
[14:07] (Flashback) G
Stand up and open your eyes
if you're gonna sleep-talk.
[14:10] (Flashback) G
You can have the title of "most hard-headed."
[14:13] (Flashback) G
Isn't it important for a general to
admit when they're beaten, hard-head?
[14:19] (Flashback) T
If you ask me, none of you have
the polished looks of a general.
[14:25] (Flashback) K
Maybe.
[14:27] (Flashback) K
But that's fine.
[14:29] (Flashback) K
Even if, someday, we're all
generals, leading our own packs,
[14:34] (Flashback) K
we should stay like this.
[14:37] (Flashback) K
When we come back here,
I'll forget everything
[14:40] (Flashback) K
and laugh with you.
[14:42] (Flashback) K
I'll cry with you.
[14:44] (Flashback) K
As plain old Zura...
[14:48] (Flashback) K
Together...
[14:52] (Flashback) K
Let's fight!
[14:58] K
Sorry.
[15:02] K
I can give up my title of general,
[15:05] K
but I'm not giving my title of
"most hard-headed" to anyone.
[15:08] Gu
Commander!
[15:10] Gu
Stop it!
[15:13] Gu
No matter how many soldiers are left,
[15:15] Gu
if the general loses, the war is over.
[15:19] Gu
Also, a war isn't fought with your head.
[15:23] Gu
It's fought with your headbutts.
[15:26] Gu
We lost.
[15:28] K
Shokaku... You...
[15:31] Gu
I never did like working in a group.
[15:35] Gu
Laws, rules...
[15:36] Gu
I don't know how many times I've broken them.
[15:39] Gu
But the Harusame has neither the laws
needed to support an organization
[15:42] Gu
nor the freedom the pirates love.
[15:45] Gu
It's turned into just a toy for a single man.
[15:49] Gu
So I'm going to fight the
battles I want to fight.
[15:55] K
What does that man intend to do?
[15:58] K
He wants to take over the Harusame,
eliminate Takasugi and the rest of us rebels,
[16:03] K
and then what?
[16:05] Gu
No idea.
[16:06] Gu
All I know is that no matter what it is,
[16:08] Gu
neither we nor you people can stop it.
[16:11] Gu
The toy's just gotta dance
until all its limbs fall off.
[16:16] K
We're here of our own will.
[16:19] K
I've no intention of dancing in anyone's hand.
[16:23] Gu
I hope not.
[16:25] Gu
I think it's about time for your friends
to be guided to the dance party.
[16:33] Gu
All barrages have struck the enemy ships.
[16:35] Gu
The surprise attack was a success!
[16:37] S
Okay, push the attack!
[16:39] S
Attention, all Kaientai ships!
[16:41] S
Get the hell outta here!
[16:43] Gu
I'm amazed you can give such a
pessimistic order so optimistically.
[16:47] S
We can't beat those numbers
in a straight-up fight.
[16:51] S
So we need to poke 'em in the butt
[16:53] S
and get them as far from
the fight as possible.
[16:56] S
It doesn't matter if our outlook
is backward or even sideways.
[17:00] S
The path that I, Sakamoto Tatsuma,
walk always faces forward.
[17:04] Gi
Sheesh...
[17:06] Gi
Looks like the space conman is
doing just fine on the battlefield.
[17:12] Gu
Captain!
[17:13] S
What's going on?
[17:14] S
Did the enemy turn around already?
[17:17] Gu
I-It's not the enemy!
[17:18] Gu
It's our allies!
[17:22] Gu
What?
[17:23] Gu
We're being attacked by our allies?
[17:25] Gu
That's impossible!
[17:26] Gu
Is there a traitor?
[17:28] Gu
A-At any rate, you guys hurry up, too!
[17:31] Gu
Who are you?!
[17:40] Gu
It's no metaphor.
[17:41] Gu
For him, allies, enemies,
the battlefield itself...
[17:45] Gu
They're all toys for him to play with.
[17:51] Gu
Now dance.
[17:56] Gu
Captain, run!
[17:57] Gu
Our ship won't...
[18:00] Gu
Communications have been cut off!
[18:02] S
Fire smokescreen bombs!
[18:03] S
Get away from the other
ships as fast as you can!
[18:05] S
Listen, no matter how many times
they attack, don't shoot back!
[18:09] S
We need to go as fast as...
[18:13] S
Sorry, can we slow down just a bit?
[18:15] M
It doesn't look like they got sick of their
stupid captain and started a rebellion.
[18:21] S
What's goin' on aboard their ships?
[18:23] M
The communications show no
sign the enemy took over.
[18:27] M
And if they did betray us, they
wouldn't tell us to run, of course.
[18:31] S
Then what?
[18:32] S
This isn't the enemy or
our allies attackin' us,
[18:35] S
the ship is doin' it on its own?
[18:38] M
That's right.
[18:40] M
Hacking.
[18:41] M
By taking over the ship's control systems,
[18:44] M
they were able to take over
the Kaientai and our ships
[18:46] M
without using a single soldier.
[18:48] M
The enemy's got some kind of monster-level
hacker, if they can do this.
[18:53] Gu
That's right.
[18:56] Gu
Your fleet is in my hands.
[19:00] Gu
Who are you?
[19:02] S
Um, do you think you dialed the wrong ship?
[19:06] S
We're the Kaientai, not White Base.
[19:09] Gu
No, that's not a Zaku, Captain.
[19:11] S
You got a notepad?
[19:13] S
I can tell you how to contact
the Federation forces.
[19:15] S
The Zeon army screws up
and calls us all the time.
[19:18] Gu
Captain, that's not the Zeon army.
[19:20] S
Then is this the Zaku-Zaku scam I've
been hearin' about? You won't fool me!
[19:25] Gu
No, there's no such thing,
[19:26] Gu
and you believed he was a Zaku anyway!
[19:28] Gu
I am Hankai, the Guru of Trickery,
[19:30] Gu
commander of the Harusame's 3rd Division
[19:33] Gu
and one of the Three Mad Stars.
[19:34] Gu
He's subtly bragging about his name.
[19:36] M
So basically, this is all your doing, Zaku?
[19:40] Gu
How did you hear all that and
decide he was a Zaku, Vice Captain?!
[19:43] Gu
Indeed.
[19:44] Gu
The one who took over your fleet and
deliberately didn't touch your flagship,
[19:49] Gu
was me, Gundam.
[19:52] S
He switched it to Gundam!
[19:53] S
Did he figure he'd rather be a
Gundam than get called Zaku?!
[19:56] H
You can either shoot down your
allies' ships and survive,
[19:59] H
or simply be shot down here.
[20:01] H
I thought I'd let you choose.
[20:05] M
You bastard! Fine, we'll call you Zaku!
[20:08] Gu
Is that what you're choosing?!
[20:09] H
Whichever you choose,
your defeat is assured.
[20:13] H
You've come all this way
to save your comrades,
[20:16] H
and you will give up everything for them.
[20:19] H
My Mono-Eye will record that moment.
[20:23] Gu
He gave up! He's decided to live
the rest of his life as a Zaku!
[20:27] H
You don't have long before
you must make your decision.
[20:35] Gu
You guys!
[20:36] H
Did you think it was just machines that
the Guru of Trickery could control?
[20:43] S
What are you doing?
[20:45] S
Get a hold of yourselves!
[20:46] M
What's going on?
[20:48] M
They've all gone mad!
[20:50] H
The 3rd Division is said to be
the only one without soldiers.
[20:56] H
But that's not true.
[20:58] H
You just can't see them.
[21:00] H
My soldiers are too small to see,
[21:03] H
but their numbers and powers
exceed the other divisions.
[21:07] H
Some can infiltrate the
enemy's central system,
[21:10] H
and others can infiltrate human brains
[21:13] H
and infect them.
[21:15] H
Yes, within my body are
countless nanomachine viruses...
[21:20] H
And you are toys that they control!
[21:22] H
You are my 3rd Division!
[21:27] Gu
Captain!
[21:28] Gu
Sorry.
[21:30] S
Everybody, grit your teeth!
[21:33] S
Take care of the ship!
[21:34] S
Seal the entrance!
[21:36] Gu
B-But...
[21:39] Gu
Captain!
[21:47] S
Why'd you follow me?
[21:49] Gu
There are more than two choices.
[21:51] Gu
We can find Zaku, beat the crap out of him,
[21:53] Gu
and fix everything.
[21:56] Gu
And if you get infected, as vice captain,
I have to kill you immediately.
[22:01] S
Sheesh...
[22:02] S
So if you get infected, I have to kill you?
[22:06] S
I'm gonna end up gettin' killed myself.
[22:08] Gu
Don't worry about me being infected.
[22:10] Gu
I got infected a long time ago...
[22:13] Gu
with your stupidity!
