**[00:07] Gu**
When that man
**[00:11] Gu**
ran over the battlefield,
amidst the bloody winds,
**[00:13] Gu**
he was truly an oni.
**[00:20] Gu**
So you're the boss?
**[00:22] Gu**
Looks like I drew the winning card.
**[00:25] Gu**
We finally meet.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Gu**
Samurai.
**[00:31] (Flashback) Gu**
What is your name?
**[00:34] (Flashback) Gu**
Pakuyasa!
***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** The Battle on Rakuyo
**[02:08] (Flashback) Gu**
Pakuyasa!
**[02:10] G**
No, that's not me.
**[02:13] G**
That wasn't me.
**[02:14] B**
Don't play dumb.
**[02:16] B**
You can deceive the eyes of others,
**[02:18] B**
but you cannot deceive my enlightened eye,
**[02:21] B**
Pakuyasa.
**[02:22] G**
I'm not Pakuyasa. I'm the White Yasha.
***SIGN*** Please watch this program in a bright room
and at a safe distance from your TV!!
**[02:26] B**
It is indeed possible that
I got the name wrong.
**[02:29] B**
But even if my eyes and ears are closed,
**[02:31] B**
I can perceive everything with this eye.
**[02:34] B**
That flabby double chin of yours,
and your Idaho accent,
**[02:37] B**
definitely belong to Pakuyasa.
**[02:39] G**
No, that's completely wrong.
**[02:41] G**
You're describing a different person.
What is that eye looking at?
**[02:43] B**
And just like it was then, your heart
is filled with thoughts of one person...
**[02:49] B**
Is it your master?
**[02:52] B**
Or your friend, or the
object of your revenge?
**[02:57] (Flashback) P**
*I can't lose!*
**[02:59] (Flashback) P**
*Until I reach him,*
**[03:01] (Flashback) P**
*I can't lose to anyone else!*
**[03:07] (Flashback) G**
You want to be my student?
**[03:09] (Flashback) G**
Sorry, but I've never tried
to recruit new students.
**[03:12] (Flashback) G**
If you really want to be my student,
**[03:15] (Flashback) G**
go buy me some yakisoba bread.
**[03:18] (Flashback) P**
I cannot lose
**[03:20] (Flashback) P**
until I bring him this bread!
**[03:24] G**
Yeah, that's me.
**[03:27] ---**
Huh?
**[03:28] G**
There was once this kid who came to me
and said he wanted to be my student.
**[03:33] G**
But I figured he wouldn't last
a minute on a battlefield,
**[03:35] G**
so I put him in charge of supplies.
**[03:37] G**
He was all about appearances.
**[03:39] G**
Everyone called him Pakuyasa.
**[03:42] G**
I see.
**[03:43] G**
I was wondering why this
wasn't making sense.
**[03:45] G**
So you spent a decade looking for
the yakisoba bread supplier, huh?
**[03:51] G**
He had no prowess with a sword,
so he quickly left the battle
***SIGN*** White Onibito
**[03:56] G**
and opened up a candy store
called White Onibito,
**[03:59] G**
but someone sued him,
**[04:01] G**
so next he opened a place
called White Pantyhose
***SIGN*** White Pantyhose
**[04:03] G**
and was arrested for public indecency.
**[04:05] G**
Now he's doing shady part-time jobs.
**[04:08] G**
I wrote down his address on this.
**[04:10] G**
If you want to go see him, why not—
***SIGN*** Pakuyasa
**[04:14] G**
You're telling me that I,
the Star Sword King,
**[04:16] G**
failed to defeat one of your students
and spent ten years searching for him?
**[04:21] G**
If that's true,
**[04:23] G**
then the man whose life as a
swordsman ended at my hand
**[04:27] G**
is an insect worth even less than that.
**[04:29] G**
I told you, I can see you!
***SIGN*** Pakuyasa
**[04:32] G**
You can't see a thing.
**[04:34] G**
You haven't even seen the
tip of a samurai's topknot.
**[04:39] G**
If you want to know, then use that
eyeball to look deep inside me.
**[04:43] G**
It might be an abyss that you
can never come back from.
**[04:51] B**
I'll do that,
**[04:53] B**
right after I cut your belly open.
**[04:54] B**
Drop the act.
**[04:56] B**
You deflected the blade at the
last moment to avoid a fatal blow.
**[05:00] B**
The next action you'll take is...
**[05:03] B**
Below!
**[05:05] B**
You'll twist your torso to avoid
a deep wound and counterattack.
**[05:08] B**
Then a spin kick to keep the pressure up.
**[05:09] B**
An attack from a blind spot!
**[05:16] B**
What's wrong?
**[05:17] B**
Is this what's deep inside a samurai?
**[05:20] B**
The old you...
**[05:22] B**
No, your student, was much stronger.
**[05:47] G**
* This is... a projection*
* of murderous intent.*
**[05:51] G**
* He's using my eye's ability, to put pressure*
* on me with just his murderous intent!*
**[05:55] G**
*This is the same feeling as before...*
**[05:57] G**
Maybe it's bad to have
vision that's too good.
**[06:00] G**
If your eyes take in all that you see,
**[06:03] G**
you'll be so busy looking at
everything, you'll miss out
**[06:06] G**
on what you really want to see.
**[06:08] B**
I see...
**[06:10] B**
What I fought back then
wasn't your student.
**[06:15] B**
It was the murderous intent behind
him that you threw at me!
**[06:22] B**
Back then,
**[06:23] B**
the worldly thoughts of your overzealous
student caused me to lose sight of you.
**[06:28] B**
But this time, that won't happen.
**[06:30] B**
Your target is the life of a swordsman.
**[06:36] B**
And I'm after
**[06:38] B**
the real you!
**[06:44] B**
* What does a swordsman think of when*
* he realizes his own death is upon him?*
**[06:49] B**
* What does he think of in the*
* last moments before his death?*
**[06:54] B**
*The answer... is nothing.*
**[06:58] B**
* To accept the irrationality of death,*
* a swordsman simply empties himself.*
**[07:03] B**
* An emptiness where even true*
* despair no longer exists.*
**[07:06] B**
*Thus, when I see this emptiness in a foe,*
**[07:09] B**
*I realize...*
**[07:13] B**
*that I have won, and I am alive!*
**[07:18] G**
* I'll have eggs sunny-side-up*
* for breakfast tomorrow.*
**[07:21] B**
*No!*
**[07:22] B**
*He's still far away from death!*
**[07:29] G**
Too bad.
**[07:30] G**
That one wasn't me, either.
**[07:32] G**
I told you, your eye's too good.
**[07:36] G**
Even without a giant eyeball like that,
**[07:39] G**
I can see exactly what's
inside you right now.
**[07:43] G**
Want me to tell you?
**[07:48] G**
You're empty.
**[08:03] B**
You're the second one...
**[08:05] B**
You're the second person whose
mind my eye couldn't see.
**[08:09] B**
One is a man who thinks about
tomorrow's breakfast
**[08:12] B**
as he stands next to the abyss of death.
**[08:16] B**
The other is empty even as he is alive.
**[08:20] B**
What is that thing to you?
**[08:23] B**
Do you intend to fight it?
**[08:26] G**
That's what I want to know.
**[08:27] G**
I wish you could use that
eye of yours to find out.
**[08:31] B**
Even with my eye open, I couldn't
see the outcome of a battle
**[08:34] B**
between two men I don't understand.
**[08:38] B**
You're a man who's lived
with death by his side.
**[08:42] B**
The death of others, your own death,
**[08:44] B**
they've always been close enough
for you to reach out and touch.
**[08:48] B**
And you still live that way.
**[08:51] B**
To you, breakfast and death
aren't that different.
**[08:55] B**
They're just a normal part of your life.
**[09:00] B**
But to that man, there is no life or death.
**[09:03] B**
How would you fight something so empty?
**[09:07] G**
Unfortunately, I don't have a nice eyeball
like you that can see this and that.
**[09:13] G**
It's all I can do to pursue
one thing in front of me.
**[09:16] G**
So whether it's the abyss of death
**[09:20] G**
or an empty void,
**[09:22] G**
I won't fight for the manju
offered to my grave.
**[09:25] G**
I'll fight for tomorrow's breakfast.
**[09:30] G**
That's all.
**[09:35] B**
It's ironic.
**[09:37] B**
Now that my eye is closed,
I can see for the first time.
**[09:40] B**
That's no endless abyss.
**[09:42] B**
He's just endlessly stupid.
**[09:53] Gu**
Shirei-sama!
**[09:54] Gu**
The Hotei's been sunk, right after the Fuso!
**[09:58] Gu**
What are you doing?
**[09:59] Gu**
You're not fighting a fleet!
**[10:01] Gu**
Just one old guy!
**[10:05] A**
What's going on here?
**[10:07] A**
The son, the dad...
**[10:09] A**
They really look like they might
destroy the Harusame on their own.
**[10:14] A**
If this is going to be a legendary battle,
**[10:17] A**
will there be anything for us to do in it?
**[10:24] A**
We can say there were those who
watched the legends' backs!
**[10:31] Gu**
Hurry!
**[10:32] Gu**
Protect the commander's life at any cost!
**[10:38] Gu**
Commander!

*Where is Shinsuke-sama?*
**[11:07] Gi**
*Where is he?!*
**[11:18] Gi**
Shinsuke-sama!
**[11:33] Gu**
Bansai-san!
**[11:37] B**
*Not yet...*
**[11:38] B**
*Don't die yet, Shinsuke.*
**[11:41] (Flashback) T**
If you're going to be judged
and die at the nation's hands,
**[11:44] (Flashback) T**
why not die for me instead, Murderer Bansai?
**[11:49] (Flashback) B**
Then what will you die for?
**[11:53] (Flashback) T**
I won't die.
**[11:55] (Flashback) T**
No matter whose corpse I need to step on,
**[11:58] (Flashback) T**
I won't die until I crush this country.
**[12:04] B**
*That's what you bragged to me*
**[12:06] B**
* when you were going to be*
* executed the next day, right?*
**[12:16] Gu**
Bansai-san!
**[12:19] Gu**
Oh, my...
**[12:20] Gu**
It appears the Three Mad Stars
weren't enough to stop you.
**[12:27] Gu**
You can't trust stuff from space.
**[12:29] Gu**
You can only trust stuff made on Earth.
**[12:35] O**
I can't let any of you meet up with
the survivors of the rebel army.
**[12:42] O**
The students of Shoyo will
never meet again in this life.
**[12:49] B**
I'm sorry, Shinsuke.
**[12:53] B**
I promised to use this life for your sake.
**[12:58] B**
I didn't expect I'd waste it here.
**[13:03] B**
Kid, you've got five minutes.
**[13:06] B**
I'll hold them off.
**[13:08] B**
While I do, get out of here.
**[13:10] Gu**
Bansai-san, wait!
**[13:13] Gu**
Sadaharu!
**[13:15] B**
I see...
**[13:16] B**
So you'll listen to the
last request of a samurai?
**[13:21] B**
Then, if you see him,
will you tell him something?
**[13:26] B**
*Shinsuke...*
**[13:28] B**
*This country isn't dead yet.*
**[13:38] B**
*Even hurt, and crawling on the ground...*
**[13:41] B**
* We're not giving up,*
* but still trying to rise.*
**[13:45] B**
*We're writhing from the pain,*
**[13:49] B**
* but we're going forward,*
* and trying to change.*
**[13:55] Gu**
*I paid my debt.*
**[13:57] B**
*So Shinsuke, you must rise once more, too.*
**[14:05] B**
*You promised me, right?*
**[14:08] B**
*Your enemy is still standing.*
**[14:11] B**
*Your friend is still fighting!*
**[14:16] B**
*So you must fight once more.*
**[14:20] B**
* Become the enemy of this country as it*
* is reborn and destroy it, if you want.*
**[14:25] B**
* Or become its friend,*
* and watch over its fate.*
**[14:34] B**
*Either is fine.*
**[14:36] B**
*But do one thing...*
**[14:44] B**
*When you die,*
**[14:47] B**
*die next to your friend.*
**[14:52] Gu**
Bansai-san!
**[14:56] Gu**
Stop!
**[15:29] Gu**
So he has actually
**[15:32] Gu**
come back here?
**[15:37] T**
* The sky looked like it was*
* about to cry at any minute.*
**[15:41] T**
*I guess that's where I came down from.*
**[15:46] T**
*I try to think back on my hazy memories...*
**[15:49] T**
* Was I the first rain that came*
* down from a gloomy sky that*
**[15:53] T**
*could no longer hold it back?*
**[15:56] T**
* Or was I the last rain that fell down from*
* a sobbing sky that was trying to stop?*
**[16:04] T**
*It feels like it was both,*
**[16:06] T**
*and it feels like it was neither.*
**[16:11] T**
*The one thing I can say*
**[16:15] T**
*is that*
**[16:18] T**
*I'm sick of rain.*
**[16:23] T**
Attention, Kiheitei.
**[16:28] T**
Crush the crows!
**[16:38] Gu**
Kill him!
**[16:40] Gu**
Kill that man!
**[16:49] Gu**
Takasugi-san!
**[17:15] T**
Move.
**[17:16] T**
There's someone that...
**[17:18] T**
...I have to greet before you.
**[17:21] T**
Move!
**[17:26] K**
I see.
**[17:27] K**
Then I will clear your path.
**[17:32] K**
Shake hands or punch each
other, whichever you want!
**[17:48] S**
Hey, stop egging them on!
**[17:52] S**
I'm the one who has to stop their fight!
**[17:55] K**
Then we should just join in!
**[17:58] S**
That's a great idea!
**[18:27] Gu**
Gintoki,
**[18:28] Gu**
I guess humans don't change that easily, huh?
**[18:33] Gu**
Even after dying,
**[18:35] Gu**
even after ten years,
**[18:37] Gu**
everybody's still just screwing around.
**[18:42] G**
I don't think so.
**[18:44] G**
Ten years ago, I would've killed you.
**[18:51] K**
I see.
**[18:52] K**
So you've learned to save
your fun for later, huh?
**[18:56] K**
You're all grown up.
**[18:59] G**
Shove it.

**[21:19] (Flashback) ?**
So this is the end, huh?
**[21:21] (Flashback) ?**
I'd rather die like a samurai
**[21:24] (Flashback) ?**
than let the enemy kill me.
**[21:27] (Flashback) ?**
Let's commit seppuku.
**[21:30] (Flashback) ?**
Don't be stupid.
**[21:33] (Flashback) ?**
Stand up.
**[21:40] (Flashback) ?**
If you've got time to give
yourself a beautiful end,
**[21:43] (Flashback) ?**
then you might as well
live beautifully to the end!
**[21:54] (Flashback) ?**
Let's go, Zura.
**[21:56] (Flashback) Gu**
It's not Zura.
**[21:59] (Flashback) Gu**
It's Katsura.
**[22:01] G**
No, that's me.
**[22:03] G**
Forget "It's not Zura, it's Katsura."
**[22:04] G**
It's me.
**[22:07] (Flashback) S**
I see...
**[22:09] (Flashback) S**
I thought it would be an
interesting trip with you around.
**[22:13] (Flashback) G**
Sorry.
**[22:14] (Flashback) G**
I may not look it, but I like this planet.
**[22:18] (Flashback) G**
Go off to space and kick some butt.
**[22:21] (Flashback) G**
A tiny little inn doesn't suit you.
**[22:24] (Flashback) G**
Toss a big net into space,
**[22:26] (Flashback) G**
and go catch a star or something.
**[22:29] (Flashback) S**
So what will you do now?
**[22:32] (Flashback) G**
Me? Well...
**[22:35] (Flashback) G**
I'm gonna do some fishing here.
**[22:40] (Flashback) G**
I'll catch a shooting
star that fell to Earth,
**[22:43] (Flashback) G**
and then release it back into the sky.
**[22:46] G**
No, that was also me.
**[22:48] G**
That was after the Joi war ended.
**[22:49] G**
And that's definitely me.
**[22:57] (Flashback) Gu**
Gintoki, if I die...
**[23:02] (Flashback) Gu**
Take care of Sensei.
**[23:05] (Flashback) Gu**
I can only ask it of another
good-for-nothing like me.
**[23:09] (Flashback) G**
Then I'll ask another
good-for-nothing a favor, too.
**[23:13] (Flashback) G**
Don't die!
**[23:17] G**
Damn it, I told you, that was me!
**[23:19] G**
This episode had a badass ending,
**[23:22] G**
so why are you screwing with it now?
**[23:24] G**
I won't be able to keep up my
motivation 'til next week like this!
**[23:27] G**
I may not be here next week.
**[23:28] G**
You okay with that?

You want to mess with people's heads

So what I'm saying here is...
**[23:41] G**
"Don't die, buddy."
**[23:44] G**
I'm back from Hell!
**[23:46] G**
Go, for the things you truly
