***SIGN*** The Story So Far
**[00:08] Shin**
*The land of the samurai.*
**[00:10] Shin**
* There was a time, long ago, when our*
* country was called by that name.*
**[00:16] Shin**
* Now, the world has entered*
* a Great Pirate Era!*
**[00:19] Shin**
* By a twist of fate, our hero Gin-san ate*
* a Wave Wave Fruit, gained a perm,*
**[00:23] Shin**
*decided to solve all his problems with money,*
**[00:25] Shin**
* and left on a journey to find*
* the Pirate King's treasure.*
***SIGN*** Boom!
**[00:28] Gin**
I'm gonna be the king of the nouveau rich!
**[00:30] Shin**
*On his travels,*
**[00:31] ---**
* he met a girl looking for seven balls*
* that can summon a shining dragon:*
**[00:34] ---**
*the genius beauty Kagura-chan.*
**[00:36] Kag**
I'll let you feel all the romance.
**[00:38] Shin**
* On the way, they also picked*
* up a glasses monster.*
**[00:41] Shin**
Shinpachu!
**[00:42] Kag**
Wow, you must be a glasses Friend!
**[00:46] Gin**
Hey, Shinpachu, bring out the
Japari Bus. I'm tired of walking.
**[00:49] Shin**
*They all worked together,*
**[00:53] Shin**
*defeated the terrifying evil overlord,*
***SIGN*** Two Years Later...
**[00:55] Shin**

**[00:58] Shin**
* the three of them reunited*
* at the Jabondy Archipelago*
***SIGN*** World Chunin Hunter Hero Exam
**[01:00] Shin**
* and were about to take the World*
* Chunin Hunter Hero Exam...*
**[01:06] Shin**
Are you kidding me?
**[01:07] Shin**
What the hell is this recap?!
**[01:09] Gin**
Y'know, we've been doing a bunch of
long arcs, reruns, and breaks lately,
**[01:13] Gin**
so I wrote that, figuring we should
casually look back on the story.
**[01:17] Shin**
You casually filled it with lies!
**[01:18] Shin**
And you ripped off too many series!
**[01:20] Kag**
Roughly put, the story did
go something like that.
**[01:23] Kag**
In the last long arc, for example,
we went to another planet out in space
**[01:27] Kag**
and fought a combat race whose strong
emotions awakened their powers.
**[01:32] Shin**
Uh, that is somewhat right, but...
**[01:34] Shin**
Hell, you were basically the star of that arc.
Sure you wanna sum it up that way?
**[01:39] Shin**
Listen up.
**[01:41] Shin**
We didn't learn the Whateverhameha
or become Whatever Masters.
**[01:45] Shin**
We're not headed for the
Whatever Line, either!
***SIGN*** Shogun Assassination
***SIGN*** Farewell Shinsengumi
**[01:47] Shin**
We were originally supposed to
enter the final long arc now,
***SIGN*** Battle on Rakuyo
***SIGN*** Final Arc?
**[01:52] Shin**
but stuff happened, and now we're here.
***SIGN*** Slip Arc
**[01:54] Shin**
Gin-san, you're basically a guy
with a perm and dead fish eyes.
***SIGN*** Kabuki District First
**[01:57] Shin**
You run an odd jobs business
in Edo's Kabuki District.
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Gin-chan
**[02:00] Shin**
Kagura-chan, you're one of
the Yato, a combat race,
**[02:03] Shin**
a glutton, and you always carry an umbrella.
**[02:05] Shin**
And I, Shinpachi,
**[02:07] Shin**
am Suda Masaki in 3D.
**[02:10] Bo**
How long are you gonna keep talking
about the live-action movie?
**[02:13] Gin**
Enough with the Suda nonsense!
No more Granbluing!
**[02:17] Kag**
Y'know, the more you do that,
the more miserable you'll be.
**[02:20] Kag**
Open your eyes!
**[02:21] Shin**
But I have to ride this wave and
get myself a hottie image!
**[02:25] Kag**
What others do doesn't matter to us!
**[02:27] Gin**
Come on! Let's start the anime already!
**[02:29] Bo**
Okay...
***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** Slip Arc
***SIGN*** Watch the Slip Arc in a bright room
and at a safe distance from your TV!
**[04:01] UB**
Yeah, the sunshine on Earth
is too much to handle.
**[04:06] UB**
I feel like I'm going bald.
**[04:09] UB**
Earth really isn't a planet
we Yato are meant to live on.
**[04:14] UB**
Kagura-chan said it didn't bother her,
but will she really be okay?
**[04:19] UB**
Sure, she may be fine now,
**[04:21] UB**
but what if staying here too
long affects her body—
**[04:24] G**
Hey, check that out.
**[04:26] G**
That old dude's got an umbrella
even though it ain't raining.
**[04:29] G**
He should probably get some sun
and photosynthesize or something.
**[04:33] G**
It'd help his head.
**[04:34] UB**
Hey!
**[04:37] UB**
What in the world happened to you two?
**[04:38] UB**
Your entire body is toasted!
**[04:40] Punk**
What do you think you're doing, old man?
**[04:42] UB**
Hang in there! I'll call an ambulance now!
**[04:45] G**
No, call the cops instead!
**[04:46] G**
Somebody help!
**[04:49] UB**
*This planet really is dangerous.*
**[04:52] UB**
*If Kagura-chan stays here, someday...*
**[04:55] UB**
* Her whole body might end up toasted, and*
* she might bring home a toasted boyfriend.*
**[05:00] TB**
We're already expecting.
**[05:03] UB**
* There might be a new toasted*
* life growing in her womb.*
**[05:06] UB**
* We'd have no choice but to throw*
* a shotgun wedding in the shadows.*
**[05:11] UB**
* But in a matter of months,*
* her married life would be toast.*
**[05:15] TB**
It's all burned!
**[05:18] UB**
* Unable to fend for herself and her*
* child as a single toast mother...*
**[05:23] Kag**
Oh dear, mister. Your whole body's so toasted.
**[05:27] UB**
*She'd start working at a shady shop.*
**[05:29] UB**
* Eventually, even her heart*
* would be toasted black, and...*
**[05:33] Cop**
We found a burned, toasted will.
***SIGN*** Forgive me, Daddy.
**[05:39] UB**
I won't stand for it!
**[05:40] UB**
Daddy will not accept toast of any sort!
**[05:44] UB**
If you stay here, everything will be toast!
**[05:47] UB**
I'm gonna take her back before
everything becomes toast!
**[05:50] G**
Hey, sir.
***SIGN*** Hair Growth Powder
Toasty
A magical way to hide your hair loss
Free Trial Period
**[05:52] G**
We're running a free trial period right now.
**[05:55] G**
Would you like to try it?
**[05:56] G**
One spray, and your head
will be a toasty black.
**[05:59] UB**
I won't stand for it!
**[06:01] UB**
Only Daddy's head needs to be toasty!
**[06:04] UB**
That's enough! Daddy has
enough hair on his head!
**[06:07] UB**
Be it Daddy's hair or your life
here on Earth, this is plenty!
**[06:11] UB**
You should say goodbye
to this rotten place...
**[06:15] UB**
*That's Kagura-chan.*
**[06:18] UB**
* Thank goodness. Looks like*
* she's not toasted yet.*
***SIGN*** Kagura-chan
**[06:23] Boy**
Um, here.
**[06:29] Boy**
You can give me your answer some other time.
**[06:32] Boy**
Bye.
**[06:32] Kag**
Hey, wait.
**[06:35] Kag**
What is this?
**[06:38] Kag**
Let's see...
**[06:39] Kag**
Dear Kagura-chan...
***SIGN*** Dear Kagura-chan, Ever since we first met, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.
**[06:41] Kag**
Ever since we first met, I haven't
been able to stop thinking about you."
**[06:45] Kag**
All this while, I've played with
you like you were one of the guys,
***SIGN*** Road Safety
Be careful up ahead!!
**[06:49] Kag**
but I can't suppress these feelings anymore.
**[06:52] Kag**
Please go out with me.
**[06:56] Kag**
My heart is
**[06:59] Kag**
burning with such passionate love for you
**[07:07] Kag**
that it is now toasted pitch-black.
***SIGN*** The Stairs to Adulthood
May Not Always Lead Up
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Gin-chan
**[07:18] Shin**
Hey!
**[07:19] Shin**
What the heck is this? What happened?
**[07:22] Gin**
Pachi-boy, I asked you to get me a spoon.
**[07:26] Gin**
If you're giving me such a massive spoon,
give me a massive serving of pudding, too.
**[07:30] UB**
I assume you're okay with that...
**[07:32] UB**
as your last supper.
**[07:37] UB**
You're okay with that?
**[07:38] Shin**
U-Umibozu-san?
**[07:40] Gin**
Oh, Pops. If you'd told us you were coming,
**[07:44] Gin**
we would've got another pudding for you.
**[07:46] Gin**
Did you go out of your way to get your own
**[07:49] Gin**
shiny pudding?
**[07:51] UB**
My head is not shiny pudding!
**[07:52] Gin**
Why are you so cranky pudding as soon
as you get here? Aren't you being rude?
**[07:57] UB**
I don't wanna hear that from a guy
who keeps calling my head pudding!
**[08:01] UB**
You were supposed to look after my precious
daughter! What were you looking at?
**[08:06] UB**
This is the height of negligence!
**[08:09] Shin**
Huh? Did something happen to Kagura-chan?
**[08:12] Kag**
I'm home!
**[08:14] Kag**
Huh? You're here, Daddy?
**[08:16] Kag**
Long time no see.
**[08:17] UB**
Kagura!
**[08:18] Kag**
Perfect timing. I've got good
news to share with you all.
**[08:22] UB**
No! I don't wanna hear it!
**[08:25] Kag**
I have a boyfriend now.
**[08:31] UB**
*Wait a second.*
**[08:32] UB**
*Not "I got a love letter"?*
**[08:34] UB**
*"Boyfriend"?*
**[08:36] Kag**
We're going on a date tomorrow.
**[08:38] Kag**
What should I wear?
**[08:43] Gin**
Uh, Shinpachi...
**[08:46] Gin**
What's a "boyfriend" again?
**[08:48] Gin**
Like these things?
**[08:49] Shin**
No, that's a dry limb.
**[08:51] Shin**
"Dry limb" and "boyfriend" barely sound alike.
**[08:53] Gin**
Like this, then?
**[08:54] Shin**
Uh, that's "boyfriend death."
***SIGN*** Boyfriend DEATH
**[08:56] Shin**
Get away from the tree
already. Just take the guy.
**[08:59] Gin**
Oh, so like this?
**[09:00] Shin**
Why'd you turn it into
Chris's evolution chart?
**[09:02] Shin**
He just evolved from dry
limbs to more dry limbs!
**[09:07] UB**
How could this be?
**[09:08] UB**
He said he'd wait for his answer,
but she gave it to him so quickly?
**[09:12] UB**
And she said okay?!
**[09:14] UB**
What're you gonna do about this?
**[09:16] UB**
This wouldn't have happened
if you'd kept an eye on her!
**[09:19] Gin**
Calm down. This has to be some bad joke.
**[09:22] Gin**
Kagura, of all people,
could never get a boyfriend.
**[09:25] UB**
You're right.
**[09:26] UB**
This has to be some kind of
bad joke or bad dream, right?
**[09:29] Gin**
Exactly.
**[09:30] Gin**
Who'd fall for that vulgar, gluttonous
mass with no sex appeal—that hurloine?
**[09:35] Gin**
She probably just got Punk'd or something.
**[09:37] Gin**
She's your daughter. She inherited
all your unlucky genes.
**[09:39] Gin**
Have more faith in her.
**[09:40] UB**
You're right!
**[09:41] UB**
This couldn't happen to a girl who
was swimming in my filthy b*lls...
**[09:45] UB**
Who're you calling a filthy b*ll girl?!
**[09:47] Gin**
I never went that far.
**[09:49] Gin**
Please, cool off your b*ll head for a sec.
**[09:52] Gin**
Don't worry. This can't be real.
**[09:54] Shin**
You never know.
**[09:57] Shin**
I've heard that even grade
schoolers are dating these days.
**[10:00] Shin**
And while Kagura-chan may look
childish, she's fourteen.
**[10:04] Shin**
Besides, if you go just
by looks, she's a beauty.
**[10:08] Shin**
Considering all that—
**[10:10] UB**
Hey, what do you mean, grade schoolers?
**[10:14] UB**
Has this planet gotten that dirty?
***SIGN*** Earth
**[10:17] UB**
Earth?
**[10:18] UB**
More like Dirth!
***SIGN*** Dirth
**[10:20] UB**
Can I destroy it now?
**[10:23] UB**
Can I get serious now?
**[10:25] Shin**
Please calm down.
**[10:27] Shin**
I called it "dating," but they're just playing.
**[10:29] Shin**
It's all just a game!
**[10:30] Gin**
Hey...
**[10:32] Gin**
What do you mean, it's just a game?
**[10:34] Shin**
Not you, too!
**[10:35] Gin**
Don't tell me they satisfy their urges,
**[10:37] Gin**
wrap the girl with paper from their Japonica
Notebooks, and chuck her in the trash.
**[10:41] Gin**
If they do that,
**[10:43] Gin**
can I stick jet packs in their backpacks and
pitch them to the edge of the galaxy?
**[10:47] Gin**
Can I turn them into the
backpack constellation?
**[10:50] Shin**
Calm down, both of you!
**[10:52] Shin**
I'm just speaking hypothetically!
**[10:54] Shin**
You're getting too worked up!
**[10:55] Shin**
Also, if you're so bothered by it, you
could just ask Kagura-chan directly!
**[11:01] UB**
Y-You go.
**[11:04] Gin**
Why me? Aren't you her father?
**[11:06] UB**
Shut up! That's exactly why I don't know
how to face her at times like these!
**[11:12] UB**
You could bring it up casually.
**[11:14] UB**
Just go already.
**[11:15] Gin**
What are you saying? You sound pathetic.
**[11:18] Gin**
Shinpachi, you go.
**[11:19] Shin**
Where did that come from?
**[11:20] Gin**
Shaddup.
**[11:21] Gin**
When you're trying to climb
the stairs to adulthood,
**[11:23] Gin**
adults shouldn't be yelling
at you from the top.
**[11:26] Gin**
This calls for one nowhere near the stairs,
**[11:27] Gin**
a primitive lifeform like you
still groveling on the ground.
**[11:31] Shin**
Who're you calling an amoeba?!
**[11:32] Shin**
Jeez, fine.
**[11:34] Shin**
I'll go ask her, then.
**[11:36] Gin**
Wait, time out!
**[11:38] Shin**
What is it?
**[11:39] Gin**
Never mind. You don't
have to ask her anything.
**[11:41] Shin**
Make up your damn mind!
**[11:42] Kag**
Boy, I'm so hungry.
**[11:44] Kag**
Is dinner ready?
**[11:46] Kag**
Wow, it's red rice!
**[11:48] Kag**
What's up? Did something good happen?
**[11:51] UB**
Huh? Uh, what's up, you ask?
**[11:54] ---**
Er...
**[11:55] UB**
What was up, Gintoki-kun?
**[11:57] Gin**
Huh? U-Uh, y'know, bo...
**[12:00] Gin**
Boy...
**[12:02] Gin**
Boy, oh, boy! Curry came out
of your father's crotch!
**[12:05] Kag**
What's so good about that?
**[12:07] UB**
W-Well, I've been constipated lately,
**[12:09] UB**
so, like, we're celebrating
the tunnel opening?
**[12:12] Gin**
Maybe we should've gone with curry
instead of red rice, huh, Father?
**[12:16] UB**
But it came out with such force
that there was blood mixed in, too.
**[12:19] UB**
It's okay this way, I say.
**[12:20] Kag**
There goes my appetite.
**[12:21] Gin**
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
**[12:23] Gin**
We're sorry!
**[12:24] Gin**
This isn't something we should
talk about over dinner, huh?
**[12:26] UB**
Hurry up and take a seat.
**[12:27] UB**
Shinpachi-kun went to
great pains to make this.
**[12:29] All**
Let's eat!
**[12:38] Gin**
Hey, ask her already, you stupid cue ball!
**[12:40] UB**
Who do you think you're calling a cue ball?
**[12:42] UB**
You're sorely mistaken if you
think light hair doesn't fall off.
**[12:44] UB**
Don't you know how it went with Uncle Jam?
**[12:46] Gin**
You're the one with the Uncle Jam head!
**[12:48] UB**
You're wasting the chance we made
this celebratory red rice to create.
**[12:52] Gin**
You don't intend to celebrate
a hair on her head.
**[12:54] Gin**
Your roots have all died out,
so what are you talking about?
**[12:57] UB**
They haven't! They're just taking
a break because it's half-time.
**[13:00] Gin**
Are you that scared to find out the truth?
**[13:02] Gin**
Are you that scared of
your daughter growing up?
**[13:04] UB**
I'm not the least bit scared.
**[13:06] UB**
I just wanna say that when she leaves Earth,
**[13:08] UB**
it'll be a long-distance relationship,
and it'll be hard to keep up.
**[13:11] UB**
You're the one feeling lonely because you
feel like she's grown distant from you.
**[13:15] Gin**
As if! In fact, that's exactly what I want.
**[13:17] Gin**
I'm just worried she'll neglect her
work because she's distracted by love.
**[13:21] Gin**
I'm totally ready to celebrate this.
**[13:23] Gin**
I'm totally gonna get another
helping of red rice.
**[13:25] UB**
Screw you!
**[13:26] UB**
I'm eating more helpings!
**[13:28] Gin**
Shut up!
**[13:28] Gin**
I'll eat enough red beans to match my age!
**[13:31] UB**
I'm older than you, so I can eat more!
**[13:34] Gin**
Then I'll eat enough to match
the number of hair roots I have!
**[13:37] UB**
Then I'll eat enough to match
the number of dead roots I have!
**[13:40] Gin**
So you admit they've all died out?!
**[13:41] Kag**
What are those two morons doing?
**[13:45] Shin**
S-Say, Kagura-chan...
**[13:47] Shin**
You mentioned this earlier,
**[13:48] Shin**
but is it true you got a boyfriend?
**[13:52] Kag**
I don't really get it.
**[13:54] Kag**
I got a love letter, but honestly,
it hasn't sunk in yet.
**[13:58] Kag**
I don't really understand
all that love stuff, anyway.
**[14:01] Kag**
But I could feel how much heart
he put into what he wrote,
**[14:05] Kag**
so I figured I could at least go on a date—
**[14:08] Bo**
That won't do, Kagura-chan!
**[14:10] Gin**
Dating someone out of sympathy or pity
is the most insulting thing to them!
**[14:13] Gin**
It'll end up hurting them the most!
**[14:16] UB**
You should break up with him.
**[14:17] UB**
Right, Gintoki-kun?
**[14:19] Gin**
That's right.
**[14:19] Gin**
You shouldn't sell yourself short.
Don't you agree, Father?
**[14:23] Kag**
But you could fall for someone once
you start dating them, couldn't you?
**[14:26] Kag**
That's what Daddy said
about his shotgun marriage.
**[14:29] UB**
Some romances start in bed, too.
**[14:32] Gin**
You're the root cause? What the
hell were you telling a child?!
**[14:37] UB**
You've got the wrong idea!
That's not what I meant there...
**[14:39] Kag**
Anyway, I have a date tomorrow,
so I'm going to bed now.
**[14:43] UB**
Wait, Kagura-chan.
**[14:45] Gin**
Feel free to go on a date or whatever.
**[14:47] UB**
But before that...
**[14:49] Bo**
Could you introduce your boyfriend to us?
**[14:54] ---**
How many have we been to now?
**[15:01] UB**
Pops...
**[15:02] Gin**
One more.
**[15:04] Shin**
You're drinking too much, you two!
**[15:06] Shin**
You're meeting Kagura-chan's
boyfriend tomorrow, remember?
**[15:09] UB**
Shut up! Boyfriend, my ass!
**[15:12] UB**
I don't care who he is or where he's
from. I haven't accepted him yet.
**[15:17] Gin**
Yeah, dumbass.
**[15:19] Gin**
It's way too early for a runt like her to
be getting into an illicit relationship.
**[15:24] Gin**
Who gave her permission to ride
the escalator to adulthood?
**[15:28] Gin**
Who does she think raised
her until now? Damn it all.
**[15:33] UB**
Uh, that's my line.
**[15:36] UB**
When exactly did you raise her?
**[15:40] Gin**
You neglected caring for your
daughter and your hair, cue ball.
**[15:43] Gin**
It's too late for you to
start acting like a dad!
**[15:45] UB**
I didn't neglect anything!
**[15:47] UB**
I simply respected the independence
of my daughter and my hair!
**[15:49] UB**
They've both just gone
to study abroad, is all!
**[15:51] Gin**
But they've totally run into trouble there!
**[15:54] Gin**
They're never coming back now!
**[15:56] UB**
They will! They'll come home all blonde!
**[15:59] Shin**
Oh, jeez. Stop it, you two.
**[16:02] Shin**
I understand why you're so worried,
**[16:05] Shin**
but everyone with a daughter has
to face this day eventually.
**[16:09] Shin**
He must be a nice boy, considering
Kagura-chan accepted him.
**[16:14] Shin**
But if we, the hosts, act like this,
we'll end up embarrassing her.
**[16:21] Shin**
While it might get a bit lonely,
**[16:23] Shin**
we must grow up, too.
**[16:26] Shin**
Well, I'll be leaving now.
**[16:28] Shin**
You two make sure to act
like grown-ups tomorrow.
**[16:38] UB**
Grown-up, huh?
**[16:40] UB**
Yeah, it's really childish to get
this worked up over a boyfriend.
**[16:46] UB**
I get it. I really do.
**[16:49] UB**
When she was a baby, I used to be so
happy to see her grow up by the day.
**[16:53] UB**
Be it her first steps, or when
she first learned to speak,
**[16:57] UB**
everything was a life-changing experience.
**[17:00] UB**
When was it that I stopped
finding joy in her growing up?
**[17:06] UB**
When did I start feeling
more lonely than happy?
**[17:11] Gin**
I used to think a grown-up's job was to
run in front while the kids follow behind.
**[17:18] Gin**
But when they eventually overtake us,
**[17:21] Gin**
it's also our job to send
them off with a smile, huh?
**[17:26] Gin**
Man, I can still keep running, though.
**[17:32] UB**
That's exactly it.
**[17:34] UB**
You and I are both still snot-faced brats.
**[17:38] Gin**
Shall we take them, too...
**[17:41] Gin**
The stairs to adulthood?
***SIGN*** Odd Jobs Gin-chan
**[17:56] Shin**
I wonder if those two will be all right.
**[17:58] Shin**
They were acting like children last night,
**[18:00] Shin**
but they did promise to
behave like adults today.
**[18:03] Shin**
I guess it should be okay.
**[18:06] Bo**
Welcome!
**[18:08] Bo**
Welcome to the Sakata household!
**[18:12] Gin**
Oh, it's just you, Shinpachi-kun.
**[18:15] Shin**
What are you doing? That'd scare
the living daylights out of anyone!
**[18:18] UB**
Sorry, sorry.
**[18:19] UB**
We've been waiting in standby since
last night for the boyfriend to arrive,
**[18:23] UB**
so we got a little too excited.
**[18:24] Shin**
Since last night?!
**[18:25] Gin**
And when we practiced our smiles so we
could welcome the boyfriend with a smile,
**[18:28] Gin**
we fell into a "how do you smile,"
**[18:30] Gin**
"what even is a smile,"
**[18:32] Gin**
and "how is 'smile' spelled" loop.
**[18:35] UB**
Are we smiling? Have we managed to smile?
**[18:38] Shin**
Yeah, but there's nothing happy about it!
**[18:40] UB**
We'll be grown-ups today.
**[18:42] UB**
We won't embarrass Kagura.
**[18:45] UB**
You don't need to worry.
**[18:46] Shin**
Uh, where will you find
grown-ups who smile like that?
**[18:48] Shin**
It's nice that you tried to better
yourselves, but you took it too far!
**[18:50] Shin**
You need to be more natural!
**[18:52] UB**
We know, Shinpachi-kun.
**[18:55] UB**
Acting too high-and-mighty would only
put unnecessary pressure on the boy.
**[19:01] UB**
Relax.
**[19:02] UB**
We're grown-ups today.
**[19:04] Gin**
But as grown-ups, we can't
really dress casually here...
**[19:09] Bo**
...so we decided to get
some formals at least.
**[19:10] Shin**
You took growing up too literally!
**[19:13] Shin**
What the hell are you two doing?
**[19:14] Shin**
Is this what you meant by being grown up?
**[19:16] UB**
Huh?
**[19:16] Gin**
What do you mean?
**[19:17] Shin**
Don't give me that!
**[19:18] Shin**
You're intimidating as hell!
**[19:19] Shin**
You can feel the pressure in the air!
**[19:21] Gin**
You must be imagining things.
**[19:22] Gin**
Upper bodies in this anime
have always been like this.
**[19:26] Shin**
When did we become Captain Tsubasa?!
**[19:28] Gin**
Calm down, Shinpachi.
**[19:30] Gin**
You're the one acting unnatural.
**[19:32] Gin**
We're the hosts. We just need to be
ready to welcome with open arms.
**[19:36] Shin**
No, you're the unnatural one!
And your open arms are way too big!
***SIGN*** Great Nature Deism Daily
**[19:40] Gin**
Huh? Isn't this yesterday's
Great Nature paper?
**[19:43] Gin**
Jeez, throw it away.
**[19:44] Shin**
What the hell kind of
newspaper are you reading?
**[19:46] Shin**
Stop it! It'll make the family situation
look complicated and troublesome!
**[19:51] UB**
Oh, Mother.
**[19:52] UB**
Oh, Gaia.
**[19:53] UB**
Kagura-chan is bringing her boyfriend over.
**[19:56] UB**
We'll gain another follower.
**[19:58] Shin**
Hey! Who said you could build
a creepy altar in our place?!
**[20:01] Shin**
What're you praying to it for?!
**[20:02] Shin**
What kind of secrets does this family have?!
**[20:04] Gin**
This is it, right? We just have
to act naturally like this, right?
**[20:07] Shin**
This is too scary!
**[20:09] Shin**
You got so conscious about the natural part,
**[20:10] Shin**
you've made this household
nothing but unnatural!
**[20:12] Shin**
Forget her boyfriend, Kagura-chan
will lose all her friends like this!
**[20:16] Kag**
Hey.
**[20:17] Kag**
I brought my boyfriend.
**[20:21] Shin**
I gotta clean all of this up!
**[20:23] Shin**
Listen up. You two just try
not to do anything stupid.
**[20:26] Shin**
Just smile and sit there. Got that?
**[20:31] Gin**
Hey, you remember the agreement, right?
**[20:34] UB**
Yeah.
**[20:34] Gin**
If one of us goes out of control, the
other will stop him, no matter what.
**[20:38] Gin**
As Kagura's guardian and Kagura's father,
**[20:40] Gin**
we must act like grown-ups
and not embarrass ourselves.
**[20:43] UB**
But don't let him walk over you.
**[20:45] UB**
Say what you need to.
**[20:47] UB**
If they're willing to have a clean
relationship befitting their age,
**[20:50] UB**
we won't stand in their way.
We must make that clear.
**[20:53] UB**
It's okay.
**[20:54] UB**
I only saw him from behind,
but he was a normal kid.
**[20:58] UB**
If grown-ups talk to him
seriously, he should understand.
**[21:02] UB**
I mean, look how grown up we are.
**[21:04] UB**
He's probably never seen
anyone this grown up.
**[21:11] Gin**
What's up, Kagura? Where's your boyfriend?
**[21:14] Kag**
He said he can't come inside.
**[21:16] Gin**
Huh? Is he feeling shy?
**[21:18] Gin**
Just tell him to come in.
**[21:20] Kag**
Like I said, he's saying
he can't come inside.
**[21:22] Gin**
Oh, for crying out loud.
Did he get cold feet?
**[21:25] Gin**
Hey, boyfriend! You can come in!
**[21:28] Gin**
There's nothing to be afraid of!
**[21:31] Gin**
He's kinda pathetic.
**[21:34] Gin**
Is this gonna be okay?
**[21:35] UB**
Well, I guess I can understand.
**[21:37] UB**
I mean, there are two grown-ass grown-ups
here. Of course he'd be scared.
**[21:41] UB**
He's only a child. A big baby.
**[22:03] Bo**
He really is a big baby!
