[00:05] Shi
    I know you must be homesick this time.
[00:10] Shi
    I hear your wife back home
    is close to giving birth.
[00:14] Shi
    If you have the time to engage in particle
    cannon fire with neighboring countries,
[00:18] Shi
    why don't you stay by your wife
    and do Lamaze with her?
[00:21] Shi
    Or is the mighty hero of war
    afraid of becoming a father?
[00:27] Shi
    How about it, Gunpowder Prince Ensho?
[00:31] En
    Shijaku, in Military Empire Burei,
[00:35] En
    custom says a man who returns empty-handed
    from war cannot be a father.
[00:38] En
    His wife will kick his ass and
    send him back to the battlefield.
[00:43] En
    My wife is fighting, too.
[00:45] En
    I was told that we're competing to see
    which of us can claim victory sooner.
[00:49] Shi
    Then, as your archrival, I must fight
    in a manner befitting your resolve.
[00:54] En
    Archrival? As if.
[00:57] En
    Your head will be nothing more than
    a nice toy for my child to play with.
[01:00] G
    Prince!
[01:01] G
    We've received word from Burei.
[01:04] Shi
    It seems your wife emerged victorious.
[01:09] Shi
    What's the matter, Ensho?
[01:15] G
    The Empire's Altana Gate went out of control.
[01:20] G
    The cause was likely man-made.
[01:23] G
    The Imperial Capital has been destroyed.
[01:25] G
    Nobody survived.
[01:34] En
    For the first time, I fled from war
    and came back empty-handed.
[01:38] En
    But the one who would chastise me
    for that was nowhere to be found.
[01:44] En
    Why did you sit back and let me escape?
[01:47] En
    Why didn't you take this
    chance to attack my empire?
[01:50] Shi
    Like I said,
[01:52] Shi
    I must fight in a manner befitting
    the Gunpowder Prince's archrival.
[01:57] Shi
    And I realized that the enemy isn't in
    the neighboring countries, but elsewhere.
[02:02] En
    The Gunpowder Prince?
[02:04] En
    You still call me that
    after I've lost my empire?
[02:08] Shi
    Ensho...
[02:10] Shi
    You didn't come back empty-handed.
[02:14] Shi
    You've gained a comrade to fight
    the Tendoshu's unjust rule with.
[02:21] En
    Even after losing my empire,
[02:23] En
    I still belong on the battlefield?
[02:27] En
    Then from that battlefield,
[02:29] En
    from within the gunpowder
    smoke, let us seize it all!
[02:33] En
    Seize our freedom!
[02:34] En
    We, the Altana Liberation Army, shall
    liberate the universe from the Tendoshu!

SIGN    Shimura Ken
[04:25] Shin
    I knew it.
[04:27] Shin
    You were here, Sis.
[04:31] Shin
    It isn't safe to walk around alone right now.
[04:34] Tae
    But that's exactly why.
[04:36] Shin
    Are you going to tell Father
    that Earth will be destroyed?
SIGN    Shimura Ken
[04:42] Tae
    Yeah.
[04:43] Tae
    "Earth could be destroyed."
[04:46] Tae
    "But your crybaby son,
    my unreliable kid brother,
[04:52] Tae
    hasn't shed a single tear and is
    fighting along with everyone."
[04:58] Tae
    "Shimura Shinpachi has grown
    into a fine samurai."
[05:04] Shin
    Sis, I haven't changed at all.
[05:09] Shin
    I just blindly chased after the back of
    the strange samurai I saw back then.
[05:14] Shin
    I kept chasing after it,
[05:17] Shin
    and I was here before I knew it.
[05:20] Shin
    All that stuff about saving Earth or
    protecting Edo is really beyond me.
[05:25] Shin
    It's not that I changed.
[05:28] Shin
    I didn't want to change.
[05:30] Shin
    I just wanted to stay by the strange
    samurai and his friends forever.
[05:36] Shin
    Do you think Father will forgive me for
    wielding my sword for such a reason?
[05:43] Tae
    Shin-chan, you don't have
    to ask for forgiveness.
[05:47] Tae
    You're now capable of finding
    all the answers for yourself.
[05:52] Tae
    You now stand side-by-side with the
    back you blindly chased all this time.
[05:56] Tae
    And if you want to protect that,
[06:01] Tae
    I'm sure Father feels the same way.
[06:04] Tae
    He's watching over you
[06:09] Tae
    from right beside you.
[06:15] G
    Get a load of them.
[06:16] G
    They're still walking around here.
[06:19] G
    Damn Amanto. Get off this planet already.
[06:22] Cat
    Say what? You were pissing your pants
    in front of the Liberation Army!
[06:26] Cat
    But you grow balls when you're up
    against women and children, huh?
[06:29] G
    That was a woman? I thought
    it was an old man.
[06:32] Kag
    You heard 'em.
[06:33] Tam
    Please don't lump Kagura-sama
    in with the Liberation Army!
[06:36] Tam
    She has the power to destroy Earth
    before them if she so wishes!
[06:41] Kag
    Uh, you're not helping, 'kay?
[06:46] Cat
    What's going on?
[06:48] Tam
    Even though there are Amanto
    who side with earthlings,
[06:52] Tam
    the discrimination only
    grows worse by the day.
[06:55] Cat
    Maybe it'd be best to abandon
    this stupid planet and bail.
[07:00] Cat
    Even if Earth does survive, there
    may not be a place for us here.
[07:07] Kag
    I never had a place here anyway.
[07:10] Kag
    I was just an unwanted guest squatting in
    a tiny space that I pried open for myself.
[07:14] Kag
    But before I knew it, those guys
    were squatting in my space.
[07:21] Kag
    They shamelessly made themselves
    at home without even paying any rent.
[07:26] Kag
    Turns out I was the one with unwanted guests.
[07:30] Tam
    Maybe that's what you call a real home.
SIGN    Snack Oto
[07:34] Tam
    Even if you lose your house or your planet,
[07:38] Tam
    that place alone will remain
    strong and await your return.
[07:42] Tam
    It exists within us as well...
[07:44] Tam
    A place for you and everyone else to return.
[07:50] Cat
    Just know that my rent's higher
    than Otose-san's, though.
[07:55] Tam
    Same here.
[07:57] Kag
    That so?
[07:59] Kag
    Then I guess we'll all have to go
    out and earn that rent money.
[08:04] Tam
    Indeed.
[08:07] Kag
    But thanks to that, I can go
    wild until Edo is flattened.
[08:14] Shin
    The crucial battle was upon us.
[08:17] Shin
    While the Liberation Army
    isn't making any moves...
[08:20] Kag
    ...we must find the Tendoshu...
[08:22] Shin
    ...and defeat Utsuro.
[08:24] Kag
    Or else this planet has no future.
[08:27] Shin
    Gin-san suddenly went missing,
    and I'm worried about what he's up to.
[08:31] Shin
    I hope he's hit upon some kind of idea.
[08:39] Gin
    What? They're making a second 
    live-action Gintama movie?
[08:43] Gin
    I had no idea this was decided
    while I was out in space.
[08:47] Gin
    "Oguri Shun returns in the
    role of Sakata Gintoki"?
[08:50] Gin
    Well, he barely passed with his long legs,
[08:53] Gin
    but they could've gone for a cute
    Johnny's idol for Gin-san, too—
[08:58] Gin
    Ow... What do you guys think
    you're doing to Oguri Shun's jaw?
SIGN    Ueda Bookstore
[09:01] Gin
    Do you realize how many billions
    this jaw's gonna bring in again?
[09:04] Shin
    You're not Oguri Shun!
[09:05] Shin
    We thought you were looking for
    the Tendoshu! What are you doing?
[09:08] Gin
    Oh, shut it.
[09:09] Gin
    Even you ignored Earth last week
    and were Granbluing on a rooftop!
[09:13] (Flashback) Shin
    Granblue...
[09:15] Shin
    I wasn't Granbluing!
[09:17] Shin
    Even Granblue Masaki isn't
    making those ads anymore!
[09:21] Shin
    Sadaharu!
[09:24] Gin
    Oh, you're back? I've been waiting.
[09:26] Shin
    Gin-san, don't tell me...
[09:27] Gin
    To find the Tendoshu,
    we gotta investigate the bakufu.
[09:31] Gin
    They may hide, but they
    can't fool a dog's nose.
[09:35] Shin
    Look, he has something in his mouth.
[09:41] Shin
    Er, this is...
[09:43] Gin
    Jean-Claude...
[09:45] Sad
    Wan!
[09:45] Gin
    ...Damme, huh?
[09:49] Shin
    He's just requesting an actor!
[09:51] Shin
    You weren't satisfied with the CG?
[09:53] Shin
    You want Van Damme to play you?
    You want him to be Wan Damme?
[09:56] Shin
    Don't give me that!
[09:58] Shin
    Do you realize how many billions
    that "wan" is gonna cost us?!
SIGN    Ueda Bookstore
[10:00] Shin
    Knock it off! Earth really will be destroyed!
[10:10] Gin
    What's this? You guys
    wanna request actors, too?
[10:14] Gin
    Sorry, but these days, they can add as
    many extras as they want with just CG—
[10:17] Shin
    Wait, Gin-san!
[10:19] Shin
    These people...
[10:26] Shin
    What's going on?
[10:27] Kag
    After the Liberation Army,
    we're fighting the public?
[10:30] Gin
    Nah, these guys aren't ordinary folk.
[10:34] Gin
    Ack! They're coming from the front, too!
[10:44] Nob
    Took you long enough.
[10:46] Nob
    I'd grown sick of waiting.
[10:47] Shin
    Nobume-san!
[10:48] Nob
    No. I'll take someone like
    Kuriyama Chiaki, please.
[10:51] Shin
    You too?!
[10:53] Nob
    By the way, those masses
[11:01] Nob
    aren't who you think.
[11:03] Gin
    Naraku?
[11:07] Gin
    Why are they disguised as townsfolk?
[11:12] G
    How long do we gotta twiddle our thumbs here?
[11:16] G
    Admiral Shijaku's orders.
[11:18] G
    He told us not to act unless
    the earthlings attack.
[11:21] G
    The brass wanna take over
    this planet too, right?
[11:24] G
    Then why wait around...
[11:30] G
    Hey, what's wrong?
[11:32] G
    Did a fish bite your dick?
[11:37] G
    H-Hey!
[11:43] Nob
    It's time
[11:45] Nob
    for the beginning of the end.
[11:52] Nob
    Utsuro's planet busting is about to start.
[11:57] G
    Have you lost your minds?
[11:59] G
    You're picking a fight with us?
[12:01] G
    Did you come here to die?
[12:03] Uts
    Precisely.
[12:07] Uts
    I am here to die...
[12:09] Uts
    Along with you all
[12:12] Uts
    and this planet.
[12:23] Zen
    Not exactly a great view.
[12:26] Zen
    Watching a country crumble from atop
    an empty castle doesn't feel good.
[12:33] G
    What's going on?
[12:34] G
    Just when the Liberation Army finally
    calms down, now the masses are rioting?
[12:39] G
    That is why I said to keep watch on
    them so they don't do anything stupid!
[12:44] G
    And who was going to do that?
[12:45] G
    Everyone ignored this national
    crisis and ran off somewhere!
[12:48] G
    Nobody even shows up to the meetings!
[12:50] G
    Even if everyone showed up,
    would anyone here be of use?
[12:53] G
    What was that? I shall cut you down!
[12:56] G
    Take responsibility and cut yourself first!
[12:59] G
    The earthlings did what?
[13:01] G
    An unidentified unit has
    attacked our base on Earth.
[13:05] G
    We're fighting back, but they've
    already sunk two of our battleships.
[13:08] G
    We've lost many men, too.
[13:10] G
    This is bad.
[13:12] G
    You're the one who oversaw the
    riots and withdrew our troops,
[13:16] G
    Admiral Shijaku.
[13:21] (Flashback) Nb
    I'm sorry to ask so much of you.
[13:26] (Flashback) Nb
    But if you will stop your men, I promise
    to bring you the Tendoshu's heads.
[13:32] (Flashback) Nb
    If I can't keep that promise, I'm
    prepared to offer you my head as shogun.
[13:37] (Flashback) Shi
    Is that what "disembowelment" truly means?
[13:41] (Flashback) Shi
    Do you have a chance of winning, though?
[13:43] (Flashback) Sak
    If we don't take back our freedom
    with our own hands, it's pointless.
[13:49] (Flashback) Sak
    Besides, that's when our
    battle will truly begin.
[13:53] (Flashback) Sak
    Now that the Tendoshu's rule has weakened,
[13:56] (Flashback) Sak
    Altana has become a symbol of freedom
    that can destroy an entire planet.
[14:00] (Flashback) Sak
    And we'll all end up attainin' it.
[14:03] (Flashback) Sak
    If we succumb under the
    pressure of that "freedom,"
[14:06] (Flashback) Sak
    only destruction will await us in the future.
[14:09] (Flashback) Sak
    You and we both must fight...
[14:15] (Flashback) Sak
    Fight freedom and ourselves.
[14:20] Shi
    As they spoke those words, the look
    in their eyes wasn't that of puppets.
[14:25] Shi
    This incident couldn't have
    been caused by earthlings.
[14:29] Shi
    It's a trap laid by one who wishes to use
    the tensions between us to expand the war.
[14:34] G
    You're the one who fell for a trap! How
    could you let those apes talk you into...
[14:38] En
    You don't get it.
[14:39] En
    This universal war itself may be
    a trap laid by the Tendoshu.
[14:45] En
    That's what that man is saying.
[14:48] En
    If you want someone to blame,
    blame me for starting this war.
[14:53] G
    Prince Ensho...
[14:54] Shi
    I didn't say that.
[14:57] Shi
    Both your appearance and
    your words lack subtlety.
[15:00] En
    Look who's talking. You're former
    royalty who is acting as a mercenary.
[15:05] Shi
    Don't lump me in with you.
[15:08] Shi
    I cast away my homeland and my royalty
    and gave all I had to the battlefield.
[15:13] Shi
    I rose up with you all because
    I felt this war had just cause.
[15:18] Shi
    But those earthlings said that
[15:20] Shi
    freedom without responsibility
    would only lead to destruction.
[15:25] Shi
    Ensho, it may be our responsibility
    to stop this war.
[15:31] G
    What? Stop this war?!
[15:34] En
    Is the situation that grave, Shijaku?
[15:38] En
    Are you saying the Tendoshu destroyed
    those planets in a bid to start this war?
[15:47] En
    Do you mean they're trying to
    make the world self-destruct?
[15:56] Shi
    Ensho, I've arranged a secret meeting.
[15:59] Shi
    At this point, we cannot resolve this
    situation without their cooperation.
[16:03] Shi
    You can hear the details
    straight from their mouths.
[16:08] En
    Is that so?
[16:09] En
    Actually, there's someone I wish
    to introduce to you in secret, too.
[16:13] Shi
    Introduce to me? Who is it?
[16:16] En
    Do you remember the day when I first
    turned tail from the battlefield?
[16:22] En
    That day, I swore to take down the
    Tendoshu, who took everything from me,
[16:29] En
    and take their heads to my
    wife and child no matter what.
[16:35] En
    Everyone gathered here is like me.
[16:38] En
    They had their countries or
    families taken from them,
[16:40] En
    swore revenge, and started this war.
[16:44] En
    If it were to end here, what do you think
    is to become of their smoldering hatred?
[16:50] En
    Where will all our sorrow go?
[16:54] Shi
    Ensho...
[16:56] En
    A recon team sent to Earth found
    a shipwreck one month ago.
[17:01] En
    The investigation revealed it to
    belong to a certain group of people.
[17:13] En
    Shijaku, this war cannot end.
[17:17] En
    Because...
[17:21] En
    It's already over.
[17:24] En
    Let me introduce you.
[17:26] En
    They are our archenemies, the Tendoshu.
[17:31] Shi
    I-Impossible! What happened to them?
[17:34] En
    They're alive.
[17:35] En
    Or, well, perhaps it'd be better
    to say that they cannot die.
[17:38] Shi
    If the Tendoshu are in this state,
    who is attacking our base?
[17:43] En
    It doesn't matter who,
[17:45] En
    as long as they're enemies who are
    willing to be targets for our hate.
[17:48] Shi
    Ensho, you...
[17:52] En
    Shijaku,
[17:53] En
    the Liberation Army needs an enemy.
[17:57] En
    If everything is already over,
    there won't be an end for us.
[18:01] En
    In that case, the war simply need not end.
[18:04] En
    That way...
[18:11] En
    We can keep fighting.
[18:17] En
    We can keep hating.
[18:20] En
    I can stay on the battlefield.
[18:24] En
    Throw him in a cell.
[18:26] En
    And tell our troops
[18:29] En
    that we will crush the
    rioters and take over Earth.
[18:35] Gin
    That's Utsuro's plan?
[18:38] Gin
    He wants to use the Liberation Army
    to engulf Edo in the flames of war?
[18:42] Nob
    And also to eliminate you
    people who stand in his way.
[18:47] Shin
    Does that mean Katsura-san and the
    others' negotiations were all in vain?
[18:50] Nob
    We knew things would come to this eventually.
[18:53] Nob
    Utsuro isn't the only one who wants a war.
[18:57] Nob
    And they aren't the only ones who
    must fight to obtain an ending.
[19:01] Gin
    Please don't tell me that includes you.
[19:04] Nob
    Who knows? At the very least,
    I'm thankful for this situation.
[19:08] Nob
    I finally caught a glimpse
    of the elusive Utsuro's tail.
[19:12] Nob
    If he was to show up anywhere,
[19:16] Nob
    it'd be here, the most dangerous
    and hard-to-crack spot.
[19:22] Shin
    The Liberation Army's troops
    have been wiped out!
[19:25] Kag
    Not just them. The Naraku, too.
[19:28] Shin
    They fought to the death
    to take down the enemy?
[19:30] Nob
    To Utsuro, there are no allies
    or enemies. Only tools.
[19:35] Gin
    Looks like I'm just like you, too.
[19:40] Gin
    If I don't fight...
[19:42] Gin
    If I don't defeat him,
[19:44] Gin
    there's no ending for me.
[19:46] Gin
    Not unless I take you out!
[19:49] Nb
    What is the meaning of this?
[19:52] En
    If you're the kind of foolish
    leader who can't understand that,
[19:55] En
    it is understandable that
    your country would fall.
[19:58] En
    You earthlings are the ones who ignored
    our ceasefire and took aim at us first.
[20:04] En
    Die, together with the Tendoshu.
[20:07] Sak
    I see.
[20:08] Sak
    If you're the kind of foolish leader who
    can't understand the Tendoshu set that up,
[20:12] Sak
    your army will die, too.
[20:15] Sak
    But if you're doin' this while fully aware
    of that, there's still hope for you.
[20:20] Sak
    Surrender before the samurai
    unsheathe their swords.
[20:24] En
    I see Shijaku was right. You have guts
    and a way with words, if nothing else.
[20:30] En
    But rest assured.
[20:32] En
    There won't be a war.
[20:37] En
    It'll all be over before you can
    look up at the sky and blink.
[20:42] En
    This is but a ritual sacrifice.
[20:46] En
    Those sticks you call swords
[20:49] En
    won't reach anywhere.
[21:00] Gin
    Th-These guys... Could they be...
[21:04] Shin
    Immortal?
[21:06] Gin
    Utsuro, you bastard.
    You gave them your blood?
[21:09] Uts
    Yes, although they are fakes
    made using a few drops.
[21:15] Uts
    Is it painful?
[21:16] Uts
    But that too will end soon.
[21:20] Uts
    It's all too late. For everything.
[21:22] Uts
    Will you withdraw your sword and
    wait to die with the planet,
[21:26] Uts
    or will you use it to fight
    me and die right here?
[21:30] Uts
    You're free to choose.
[21:34] Gin
    Then...
[21:36] Gin
    I'll use this sword to crush both
    you and the Liberation Army!
