SIGN    Gintama SIGN    The Battle on Rakuyo 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.
