[00:19] UB
    Kouka?
[00:22] UB
    I see.
[00:24] UB
    I guess I messed up royally.
[00:28] UB
    But I can finally join you now...
[00:34] UB
    You won't let me, huh?
[00:38] UB
    I've now become
[00:41] UB
    a father who can neither beat nor
    embrace his naughty children.
[00:46] UB
    What could I possibly do now?
[00:50] UB
    Come on, Kouka...
[00:53] UB
    Tell me.
[01:05] M
    You always were that kind of man.
[01:08] M
    Whenever I thought you
    couldn't survive something,
[01:11] M
    you came back to life like it was nothing
[01:14] M
    and told me of adventures
    that set my heart aflutter.
[01:18] M
    I can't wait to hear your story this time.
[01:25] UB
    Even if it's just complaining
    that'll make your heart burn?

[03:09] Abu
    Such troublesome siblings.
[03:13] Abu
    What makes them think they need
    to pass out more than we do?
[03:17] Gin
    You can say that again.
[03:18] Gin
    If a babe's willing to
    let me rest on her lap,
[03:20] Gin
    I'd like to jump in there right now.
[03:23] Gin
    But, unfortunately, it looks
    like that'll have to wait.
[03:28] Gin
    All I see around me are the
    disgusting crotches of dudes.
[03:31] Gin
    It'd probably give me nightmares.
[03:33] Abu
    I feel like we're already having one.
[03:37] Gin
    Then we should hope for some
    rousing activity that'll wake us up.
[03:42] G
    Hold it.
[03:44] G
    Don't jump to conclusions.
[03:46] G
    Like we'd ever be cheap enough
    to fight wounded men.
[03:50] Abu
    Shokaku, one of the Three Mad Stars!
[03:52] G
    He was until a while ago, that is.
[03:55] G
    Now that we've lost to the samurai
[03:57] G
    and were cast aside by our master,
[04:00] G
    we're basically the same as you.
[04:02] Abu
    Were cast aside?
[04:04] Abu
    You mean you cast him aside.
[04:06] Sho
    One thing's for sure:
[04:08] Sho
    that man held no pride as a pirate,
[04:12] Sho
    and I never had any loyalty
    worth throwing away for him.
[04:16] Sho
    Pirates are supposed to be free spirits.
[04:20] Sho
    That's how I felt watching you guys...
[04:24] Sho
    You looked to be having so much more fun.
[04:27] G
    Now, let us ask you.
[04:29] G
    Does the 7th Division,
[04:30] G
    Harusame's thunderbolt,
    still remain unbroken?
[04:34] Abu
    Who knows?
[04:36] Abu
    I sure don't.
[04:38] Abu
    I don't even know if the guy
    lying there is our commander
[04:41] Abu
    or just another big brother.
[04:44] Abu
    The only thing I can say for sure is...
[04:48] Abu
    This isn't like you.
[04:51] Abu
    Be it on a battlefield
    or on your sister's lap,
[04:54] Abu
    it's not like you to stay down.
[04:56] Abu
    It's not like you to stay down
    after being beat up and losing.
[05:05] Abu
    I won't lose again.
[05:09] Abu
    Not to anyone.
[05:14] Abu
    I...
[05:16] Abu
    However long I spent as
    a son and a big brother,
[05:19] Abu
    I've spent far longer living as a pirate.
[05:23] Abu
    I never planned on turning back anyway.
[05:27] Abu
    I can only keep going.
[05:29] Abu
    So far ahead, my little sister
    will never be able to catch up.
[05:33] Abu
    So high up, I can look down on my old man.
[05:38] Abu
    And so far away, I'll be able to reach her.
[05:43] Abu
    Unless I'm willing to go that far,
[05:47] Abu
    I'll never be able to catch up
[05:50] Abu
    or go back there.
[05:57] UB
    I came here to stop that beast.
[06:01] UB
    I was even willing to kill him,
[06:03] UB
    because I thought that was
    my duty as his father.
[06:07] UB
    But I couldn't do it.
[06:11] UB
    And it was probably the same for him.
[06:15] UB
    No matter how far apart we
    drifted, we were family.
[06:19] UB
    The resolve we needed wasn't
    to cut our ties as family.
[06:26] UB
    Those ties weren't going
    to snap no matter what.
[06:29] UB
    So even if we got tangled up
    in them and suffered at times,
[06:33] UB
    we needed the resolve to hold on to
    those ties and draw them closer.
[06:39] UB
    I was made to realize that
[06:41] UB
    by the girl who never let go of those ties.
[06:46] UB
    And by the bizarre ties
    who always came with her.
[06:54] Gin
    Hey.
[06:56] Gin
    Enjoy your holiday?
[06:58] Kag
    Sorry for acting so selfish.
[07:01] Kag
    I didn't want to drag you guys into this.
[07:04] Kag
    But...
[07:08] Gin
    I'd always wondered where a kid
[07:09] Gin
    would have to be born to grow
    up into a crude brat like you.
[07:14] Gin
    I have my answer now.
[07:16] Gin
    What a filthy town.
[07:19] Gin
    But it's just like our own.
[07:23] Gin
    We got to see the family and
    town that brought you up.
[07:27] Gin
    Not a bad holiday.
[07:29] Gin
    So, put that thing away.
[07:33] Shin
    You can't ignore Umibozu-san
    and leave, right?
[07:37] Shin
    Even so, we can't accept
    a resignation letter.
[07:41] Shin
    A leave letter is good enough.
[07:45] Shin
    So come back again sometime
[07:48] Shin
    to your other home.
[07:51] Kag
    No...
SIGN    Paid Leave Request
[07:53] Kag
    That's not what this is.
[07:55] Kag
    Can we make this not an
    ordinary holiday, but paid leave?
[08:01] Kag
    What are you doing to a
    wounded girl, you scumbags?!
[08:04] Gin
    In Odd Jobs, a request for paid leave
    is the same as a request for death.
[08:07] Gin
    And I accepted yours.
[08:09] Kag
    My purse is empty thanks to your measly pay!
[08:11] Kag
    You could at least offer
    to share some of my load!
[08:13] Gin
    What did you use all your money on?
[08:14] Kag
    Staying at hotels, buying art,
    China dresses for calligraphy.
[08:18] Kag
    They were all necessary expenses.
[08:19] Shin
    Who are you, an ex-governor of Tokyo?!
[08:21] Kag
    I'll also need to pay for
    the baldy's treatment now!
[08:22] Kag
    Cut me some slack, you outsiders!
[08:24] Gin
    What treatment does the baldy even need?
[08:26] Gin
    So what if he lost an arm or two?
    That monster will be just fine.
[08:29] Gin
    Apply some aloe, and they'll
    grow back eventually.
[08:31] Shin
    They're not hair!
[08:32] Gin
    I don't think his hair's gonna grow back.
[08:33] Shin
    Why is his hair more
    hopeless than his arms?!
[08:37] Abu
    It's true!
[08:39] Abu
    My arms grew back!
[08:40] M
    Yes, I figured combat prosthetics
    would be best for you.
[08:44] Adlib
    Asura Temple!
[08:45] UB
    I'd like some more firepower.
[08:47] UB
    Oh, and put it on their tab.
[08:50] M
    Certainly.
[08:50] Gin
    Screw you!
[08:51] Gin
    He's the picture of good health!
[08:53] Shin
    Someone pay for our treatment, too!
[08:58] Sak
    I'll put the ship's repair
    fees on your tab, too.
[09:02] Sak
    Now, then. The trade talks are over.
[09:04] Sak
    So how about we close this deal, too?
[09:10] Sak
    Members of the Kiheitai.
[09:12] Sak
    You ran off partway without a word.
[09:15] Sak
    What happened?
[09:16] Sak
    Where's Takasugi?
[09:19] Hen
    I bring a message from Shinsuke-dono.
[09:31] Mat
    So annoying!
[09:32] Mat
    How far are they gonna chase us?
[09:34] Hen
    It seems we've been separated
    from Katsura and the Kaientai.
[09:37] Hen
    At this rate...
[09:38] Tak
    I don't recall teaming up with
    them in the first place.
[09:42] Tak
    I don't want to be further indebted to them.
[09:44] Tak
    I'll pay them back with interest someday.
[09:48] Tak
    Of course...
[09:50] Tak
    You too,
[09:52] Tak
    Oboro.
[09:53] Mat
    Wha...
[09:55] Ob
    Good job leading them here.
[09:58] Ob
    The Harusame have started to retreat.
[09:59] Ob
    You all should leave, too.
[10:01] Ob
    Hurry up and go.
[10:05] Mat
    What are you playing at?
[10:09] Obo
    Your survival was unexpected,
[10:13] Obo
    but the true purpose of
    this battle lies elsewhere.
[10:16] Obo
    Compared to that man fulfilling
    his longstanding desire,
[10:19] Obo
    what happens to the lives of insects that
    crawl on the ground doesn't matter.
[10:23] Tak
    Then why are you here?
[10:27] Tak
    To make excuses for losing to mere insects?
[10:29] Obo
    Because I know.
[10:32] Obo
    That some insects will never give up,
[10:35] Obo
    flapping their wings until
    they reach the heavens.
[10:38] Obo
    I got my wings from the same man, so I know.
[10:43] Tak
    The same man?
[10:45] Tak
    The monster crow you follow and Sensei?
[10:49] Tak
    Yoshida Shoyo died.
[10:52] Tak
    And one of the people who
    killed him stands before me.
[10:56] Obo
    I don't care either way.
[10:59] Obo
    I merely wish to remove
    all obstacles in his way.
[11:05] Obo
    I will use the last remaining flames
    of my life to burn your wings away!
[11:29] (Flashback) G
    Is that all of them?
[11:30] (Flashback) G
    Yeah.
[11:33] (Flashback) G
    It's all over now.
[11:45] (Flashback) Obo
    Is this what they call death,
[11:50] (Flashback) Obo
    reaper?
[12:10] (Flashback) U
    This is all I can do for you.
[12:19] (Flashback) Obo
    What are you...
[12:22] (Flashback) Obo
    Forgive me.
[12:24] (Flashback) Obo
    I can't even die as your target of revenge.
[12:28] (Flashback) Obo
    So I hope you at least
[12:31] (Flashback) Obo
    live and continue to hate me forever.
[12:39] Obo
    Back then, I died.
[12:43] Obo
    I decided to dedicate everything to him.
[12:47] Obo
    I was an insect fated to die like a slave,
    with no one to grieve for me.
[12:53] Obo
    So I decided to serve him until I shed
    all the blood that kept me alive.
[12:59] (Flashback) U
    I told you to leave once your wounds healed.
[13:02] (Flashback) U
    We took your home away from you.
[13:05] (Flashback) U
    That said, if you stay here,
[13:08] (Flashback) U
    you'll end up a killer.
[13:10] (Flashback) Obo
    Please teach me.
[13:12] (Flashback) Obo
    I'm willing to do anything to help you.
[13:16] (Flashback) U
    I'm no teacher.
[13:18] (Flashback) Obo
    In my eyes, you're a teacher who I owe
    my life to. One who deserves respect.
[13:22] (Flashback) U
    That's not something you say
    to a leader of assassins.
[13:25] (Flashback) U
    I cannot offer anyone anything.
[13:29] (Flashback) U
    In fact, I wish I could be one of the
    children, and learn along with them...
[13:34] (Flashback) U
    How to clean my bloodstained hands.
[13:39] (Flashback) Obo
    In that case, how about
    running a school yourself?
[13:42] (Flashback) Obo
    A school where a teacher and
    his students learn together...
[13:45] (Flashback) Obo
    That sounds wonderful.
[13:47] (Flashback) U
    Who would join a school run by a murderer?
[13:52] (Flashback) U
    All I can teach anyone
    are techniques to kill.
[13:56] (Flashback) Obo
    But you refuse to teach me those.
[13:59] (Flashback) Obo
    If you truly were evil,
    I'd already be a killer by now.
[14:05] (Flashback) Obo
    I'll give up on learning killing techniques,
[14:08] (Flashback) Obo
    so make me your first student
    at that school, okay?
[14:23] (Flashback) G
    The chief has run away.
[14:25] (Flashback) G
    As you know, quitting is
    not an option for us.
[14:28] (Flashback) G
    He must be dealt with.
[14:32] (Flashback) Sho
    Oh? Did you finally decide
    to leave that place?
[14:36] (Flashback) Obo
    Sensei!
[14:37] (Flashback) Obo
    What are you fooling around for?!
[14:40] (Flashback) Sho
    I couldn't lure you outside
    without doing this much.
[14:44] (Flashback) Sho
    If I want to get you out of the group,
[14:47] (Flashback) Sho
    the best way to do it is by leaving.
[14:50] (Flashback) Obo
    Sensei, you can't mean...
[14:52] (Flashback) Sho
    No. I've been plotting
    this since before you came.
[14:57] (Flashback) Sho
    But it may have been thanks to you
    that I finally made up my mind.
[15:01] (Flashback) Sho
    I may bear sins that won't
    go away even after death,
[15:04] (Flashback) Sho
    but I can keep atoning for
    them as long as I live.
[15:08] (Flashback) Sho
    I will fight, too,
[15:10] (Flashback) Sho
    with the reaper within me.
[15:11] (Flashback) Obo
    B-But...
[15:14] (Flashback) Obo
    You'll be targeted because of me.
[15:17] (Flashback) Sho
    That goes for you, too.
[15:19] (Flashback) Sho
    If anyone even considers you
    a member of Naraku, that is.
[15:23] (Flashback) Sho
    But I will make you one of my own.
[15:51] (Flashback) Obo
    Shoka Sonjuku?
[15:53] (Flashback) Obo
    What's that supposed to be?
[15:54] (Flashback) Sho
    The name of the school.
[15:56] (Flashback) Obo
    What does it mean?
[15:58] (Flashback) Sho
    A school born under a pine tree...
[16:01] (Flashback) Sho
    Just now.
[16:02] (Flashback) Sho
    Right now, it's just you and me,
[16:05] (Flashback) Sho
    but I hope many more will join
    us under this pine tree one day,
[16:09] (Flashback) Sho
    and that you'll have many junior students.
[16:13] (Flashback) Obo
    Junior students?
[16:14] (Flashback) Sho
    Yes.
[16:15] (Flashback) Sho
    In Naraku, you were the weakest,
[16:18] (Flashback) Sho
    but from now on, you'll be
    the most advanced student.
[16:20] (Flashback) Sho
    We both need to do our best.
[16:24] (Flashback) Obo
    Y-Yes.
[16:28] (Flashback) Obo
    Junior students, huh?
[16:30] (Flashback) Obo
    I can't wait to see them.
[16:37] (Flashback) Obo
    There's no escape.
[16:39] (Flashback) Obo
    Not even for Sensei,
[16:41] (Flashback) Obo
    if he takes me along.
[16:45] (Flashback) Sho
    This is a trap to delay your pursuers.
[16:47] (Flashback) Sho
    You must never use it to kill.
[17:06] (Flashback) G
    Aren't you the chief's page?
[17:08] (Flashback) G
    Hey!
[17:09] (Flashback) G
    What happened?
[17:12] (Flashback) Obo
    I helped him escape...
[17:16] (Flashback) Obo
    But once he found out how
    many were after him,
[17:20] (Flashback) Obo
    he cut me off, saying I'd hold him back.
[17:22] (Flashback) G
    Which way did he go?
[17:28] (Flashback) G
    Wait.
[17:29] (Flashback) G
    This certainly is the chief's sword.
[17:32] (Flashback) G
    But why are you alive, then?
[17:37] (Flashback) G
    If he decided to kill
    someone, he'd never fail.
[17:40] (Flashback) G
    Especially not a brat like you.
[17:49] (Flashback) Obo
    He didn't fail to kill me.
[17:51] (Flashback) Obo
    He just chose not to.
[17:54] (Flashback) Obo
    Sensei won't kill anyone anymore.
[17:58] (Flashback) Obo
    And I'll make sure he never has to.
[18:06] (Flashback) Obo
    Sensei,
[18:07] (Flashback) Obo
    I'm really sorry.
[18:10] (Flashback) Obo
    I broke our promise.
[18:12] (Flashback) Obo
    I decided that, since you saved me, 
    my life didn't belong to myself.
[18:15] (Flashback) Obo
    That I would use it for your sake.
[18:19] (Flashback) Obo
    If I can't protect your ideal,
[18:22] (Flashback) Obo
    if I can't protect the junior 
    students I have yet to meet,
[18:25] (Flashback) Obo
    how can I call myself your first student?
[18:29] (Flashback) Obo
    Sensei, I know our school,
[18:33] (Flashback) Obo
    Shoka Sonjuku, will...
[18:39] Obo
    Apparently, he thought I was dead,
[18:43] Obo
    but his blood coursing through my body
[18:46] Obo
    told me to live and continue to serve him.
[18:52] Obo
    Having covered up my betrayal,
[18:54] Obo
    I strove to keep Naraku's
    fangs away from Sensei.
[18:58] Obo
    I went against his teachings and didn't
    hesitate to dirty my hands with blood.
[19:03] Obo
    I didn't mind, even though
    I wasn't by his side,
[19:06] Obo
    if it meant I could protect
    him and his ideal...
[19:09] Obo
    That's what I thought.
[19:32] Obo
    That's what I thought...
[19:35] Obo
    Or so I thought.
[19:47] Obo
    I'm the one who got him captured.
[19:52] Obo
    Even so...
[19:55] Obo
    Even so,
[19:59] Obo
    I believed he would come back.
[20:03] Obo
    You and I are the same.
[20:06] Obo
    We lost our teacher due to our weakness.
[20:09] Obo
    One swore to never betray him again.
[20:16] Obo
    The other swore
[20:18] Obo
    to bring him back, even if it
    meant having to kill him again.
[20:26] Obo
    Until the spirit your teacher
    gave you completely dies out,
[20:29] Obo
    keep fighting.
[20:31] Obo
    That's what we...
[20:33] Obo
    Yoshida Shoyo's students are all about.
[20:39] (Flashback) Obo
    Come out. It's time.
[20:45] (Flashback) Sho
    Can you pass on my last words
[20:47] (Flashback) Sho
    to my students?
[20:50] (Flashback) Sho
    Without you, I never would've
    gotten to meet them.
[20:54] (Flashback) Sho
    Without you, I never would've
    become Yoshida Shoyo.
[20:59] (Flashback) Sho
    Thank you.
[21:00] (Flashback) Sho
    And I'm sorry.
[21:04] (Flashback) Sho
    If possible, I would've loved
    to bring you together.
[21:07] (Flashback) Sho
    Those kids,
[21:10] (Flashback) Sho
    and my pride and joy, my first student.
[21:19] Obo
    I have seen with my own eyes, Sensei,
[21:23] Obo
    my junior students I'm so proud of.
[21:31] Obo
    It dried up, huh?
[21:34] Obo
    This blood has dried up, at last...
[21:39] Obo
    Now I can finally go back.
[21:42] Obo
    It's been so long...
[21:44] Obo
    But this pain is nothing.
[21:47] Obo
    Compared to your eternal suffering,
[21:50] Obo
    my suffering must be no more than
    the fleeting pain of a needle prick.
[21:57] Obo
    Hear me, Takasugi.
[22:01] Obo
    Rather than Utsuro's minion,
