SIGN    Gintama
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
    and two years later,
[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

    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 blls...
[09:45] UB
    Who're you calling a filthy bll 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!
