**[00:07] Uts**
While an "ending" is a conclusion,
it is also a release.
**[00:12] Uts**
Through an ending, we will be
freed of all that shackles us.
**[00:18] Uts**
Such as the endless cycle of foolish wars,
**[00:21] Uts**
or the sorrow and suffering they cause.
**[00:25] Uts**
And still, Sakata Gintoki,
you stand your ground there?
**[00:30] Uts**
You reject an ending and choose
to continue suffering...
**[00:34] Uts**
You choose the suffering of
striking your teacher down?
**[00:38] Uts**
Then I must make my own choice.
**[00:42] Uts**
To choose the suffering of
striking my disciple down.
**[00:47] Nob**
That's...
**[00:48] Nob**
The third and last of the Three
Wings of Naraku, Hitsugi!
**[01:04] Gin**
Teacher? Disciple?
**[01:06] Gin**
That crap doesn't exist here.
**[01:10] Gin**
The guy in front of me
is nothing but a villain.
**[01:15] Gin**
And the guy in front of you
**[01:17] Gin**
is nothing but Odd Jobs!
**[01:28] Gin**
You took his blood, too?
**[01:50] Shin**
There's no end to them!
**[02:13] Nob**
Time's up, huh?
**[02:15] Nob**
I'll secure an escape route. Run away.
**[02:18] Nob**
We can't fight both Utsuro and the
Liberation Army at the same time.
**[02:22] Nob**
I'm sorry. I didn't think things through.
**[02:25] Nob**
That immortal man and his immortal army
**[02:30] Nob**
can't be defeated by us alone right now.
**[02:41] Uts**
It won't reach.
**[03:03] Uts**
It can't reach.
**[03:11] Uts**
Your sword...
**[03:13] Uts**
can't reach me.
**[03:16] Gin**
Utsuro!
**[03:31] Gin**
Utsuro...
**[03:34] Nob**
Hurry!
**[04:13] Kag**
Your glasses broke.
**[04:16] Shin**
I hope what I'm seeing right now is
a mistake caused by my glasses, too.
**[04:21] Shin**
But unfortunately, it looks like my glasses
weren't the only thing that broke.
**[04:32] Shin**
Gin-san!
**[04:33] Kag**
Nobutas!
**[04:37] Nob**
Hurry up and stop Utsuro
and the Liberation Army.
**[04:41] Nob**
Forget about me.
**[04:44] Gin**
We both did stuff we normally wouldn't.
**[04:47] Nob**
I just didn't want to watch
our prospects get any worse.
**[04:52] Gin**
Then keep this in mind:
**[04:55] Gin**
In our eyes, you're a valuable
part of our prospects, too,
**[05:01] Gin**
Mimawarigumi Vice Chief Imai Nobume.
**[05:04] Gin**
We need you to put in your
chief's share of the work.
**[05:08] Gin**
Don't you dare drop dead here.
**[05:11] Gin**
He'll laugh in your face.
**[05:15] Nob**
I'm sure he already is.
**[05:19] Nob**
Isaburo, even in a world without you,
it seems I still have a purpose.
**[05:27] Nob**
But I don't know...
**[05:29] Nob**
You entrusted your hopes to them,
**[05:32] Nob**
but I don't know how to protect
them from that huge evil.
**[05:38] Nob**
I don't know how to protect Edo, which has
lost both its elite and hooligan cops.
**[05:45] G**
Target has been silenced
by concentrated fire.
**[05:48] G**
No signs of any enemies remaining.
**[05:51] En**
*What are you saying?*
**[05:53] En**
*The enemy's still there.*
**[06:00] En**
*Burn everything to the ground.*
**[06:04] G**
We're done for!
**[06:05] G**
This is why I said we
should surrender at once!
**[06:09] G**
But to surrender while Nobunobu-sama
was in the midst of negotiating with them?
**[06:14] G**
We can't believe in a figurehead shogun!
**[06:16] G**
I'm sure he has long abandoned
this country and fled!
**[06:20] G**
If we waste time here, we'll end
up dying with the country, too!
**[06:27] Soyo**
Go ahead and flee.
**[06:30] Soyo**
No need to worry about the country.
**[06:33] Soyo**
I'll watch over the castle
while everybody's gone.
**[06:36] G**
P-Princess Soyo.
**[06:39] Momo**
Princess Soyo did what?
**[06:42] Momo**
Why didn't you keep a closer eye on her?
I repeatedly told you to take utmost care.
**[06:46] G**
We're terribly sorry.
**[06:48] G**
We couldn't really follow her into the
bathroom, and she took that chance.
**[06:52] Momo**
Find her at once.
**[06:54] All**
Ma'am!
**[06:57] (Flashback) Zen**
This country's done for.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Zen**
You only have one job now.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Zen**
Run away, Princess Soyo.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Zen**
Edo'll be engulfed in the flames of war soon.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Zen**
Arrange a ship that'll get
you off of Earth immediately.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Soyo**
Zenzo-san, I want to fight alongside you all.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Soyo**
After all, I am his...
**[07:20] (Flashback) Soyo**
Shogun Tokugawa Shigeshige's sister.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Zen**
You're not the shogun's sister anymore.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Mai**
Watch your mouth, Zenzo-dono!
**[07:30] (Flashback) Zen**
You're just a sister, and it's your duty
to live your brother's share of life.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Zen**
And as the one who failed
to protect your brother,
**[07:38] (Flashback) Zen**
it's my duty to protect you to the end.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Soyo**
What happened to Brother wasn't your fault.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Zen**
Forget it.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Zen**
If you're going to throw a tantrum, I'll
drag you away even if I have to spank you.
***SIGN*** Dumplings
**[07:49] (Flashback) Momo**
Oh? And then what?
**[07:52] (Flashback) Momo**
Will you live in a land with no familiar
faces, counting all the friends you've lost?
**[07:58] (Flashback) Momo**
Zenzo, using your life to make up for
failing your friend is all well and good.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Momo**
But don't forget that you have other friends
here who are doing their best to live.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Zen**
Jump is the only friend I have.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Momo**
And Bessatsu Margaret is my only friend.
***SIGN*** Bessatsu Margaret
**[08:15] (Flashback) Momo**
But here's how I feel.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Momo**
Living a lost friend's share of life
**[08:20] (Flashback) Momo**
and fighting and dying with your
friends who are still alive
**[08:24] (Flashback) Momo**
are both fine displays of friendship.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Soyo**
Zenzo-san, he's fighting, isn't he?
**[08:32] (Flashback) Soyo**
Then I... We must fight, too.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Soyo**
We must struggle and crawl out of
the depths of sorrow and hatred.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Soyo**
We can't be outdone!
**[08:43] (Flashback) Soyo**
Not by him!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Zen**
That so? Got it.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Momo**
Where are you going?
**[08:51] (Flashback) Zen**
If the princess is staying back,
then I won't be of any use by her side.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Zen**
Take care of her, Momochi.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Soyo**
Zenzo-san!
**[09:00] (Flashback) Zen**
I'm gonna do what I want,
so you do as you please, too.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Zen**
Not as a princess, but as his kid sister.
**[09:14] Momo**
Princess...
**[09:17] G**
What are you thinking?
**[09:19] Soyo**
You all should evacuate at once.
**[09:23] Soyo**
I'll take care of this castle myself.
**[09:26] G**
Of all the preposterous ideas!
**[09:27] Soyo**
We cannot leave this castle empty.
**[09:30] Soyo**
When its people are fighting to defend the
country, how can the country abandon them?
**[09:34] G**
But what obligation do you
have to go to such lengths?
**[09:37] G**
This country took your brother's life!
**[09:40] G**
And you are...
**[09:41] Soyo**
Not a princess.
**[09:43] Soyo**
I am Tokugawa Shigeshige's sister.
**[09:46] Soyo**
And I will remain that forever.
**[09:53] Shin**
Then Utsuro is...
**[09:54] Gin**
Sorry. I let him get away.
**[09:56] Gin**
Or maybe he was the one who let me get away.
**[09:59] Shin**
But he must have been
caught in that explosion.
**[10:02] Gin**
If he was the type to die from that,
we wouldn't be having such a hard time.
**[10:05] Kag**
So in the end, we couldn't do anything?
**[10:08] Kag**
We couldn't protect anything?
**[10:11] Kag**
Is everything going just as Utsuro wants?
**[10:13] Kag**
Can the war no longer be stopped?
**[10:15] Gin**
Don't give up!
**[10:17] Gin**
It's not too late! We can still stop it!
**[10:43] En**
*Fire.*
**[11:20] G**
I told you so.
**[11:22] G**
If they go crazy up in the skies, we ground
troops won't get any shots at glory.
**[11:27] G**
We're fighting over four dirty apes?
**[11:30] G**
What matters in a hunt isn't the game,
but the hunters you're up against.
**[11:36] Gin**
Run for it!
**[12:05] Gin**
* I run and run, but I don't feel*
* like I'm getting anywhere.*
**[12:12] (Flashback) Uts**
Your sword...
**[12:16] (Flashback) Sho**
...can't reach me.
**[12:18] Gin**
* Have I not taken a single*
* step forward since then?*
**[12:38] Gin**
*I don't think I'll ever reach him.*
**[12:42] Kon**
It's not over yet!
**[12:50] Kon**
Don't go ending things for yourselves.
**[12:55] Kon**
Keep your eyes forward and
your hands on your sword.
**[13:01] Kon**
Fight, Odd Jobs.
**[13:09] Kon**
Together with us Shinsengumi!
***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** Silver Soul
***SIGN*** The Line Between Tenacious and Annoying Is Paper-Thin
**[14:51] G**
Wh-What's going on?
**[14:53] G**
O-Our own tanks suddenly fired at us!
**[14:56] Kon**
Your friends are all gone.
**[15:01] Hij**
They'd parked their vehicles in a
weird spot and were blocking traffic.
**[15:06] Oki**
So we gave them tickets and
impounded their vehicles.
**[15:09] Oki**
We're currently investigating the case.
**[15:11] Kon**
But you guys won't get off that lightly.
**[15:14] Kon**
For traffic violations, destruction
of property, et cetera,
***SIGN*** Special Bakufu Military Police Force
Shinsengumi
**[15:20] Kon**
you are under arrest!
**[15:22] G**
Y-You guys are...
**[15:25] All**
The police.
**[15:34] Nob**
They're back?
**[15:36] Nob**
Edo's hooligan cops are back in town?
**[15:44] Kon**
Charge!
**[15:54] Oki**
What're you standing around for?
**[15:56] Kon**
You'll get left behind.
**[15:58] Hij**
The battle's just getting started.
**[16:01] Hij**
This country...
**[16:06] Hij**
isn't finished just yet.
**[16:10] G**
Fire!
**[16:15] G**
What?
**[16:21] Mat**
Good grief.
**[16:23] Mat**
I gathered troops to fell Nobunobu's country,
**[16:28] Mat**
but look what I'm doing now.
**[16:29] Mat**
Get lost, rubberneckers.
**[16:32] Mat**
You guys were fighting an empty country,
**[16:36] Mat**
but its owners are back now.
**[16:39] Mat**
Whether we defend this country or destroy it,
**[16:43] Kon**
the decision is for us, its citizens, to make!
**[16:47] Kon**
You have no horse in this race.
**[16:49] Kon**
Men, show them how strong
this country really is!
**[17:09] Hij**
I thought you'd lost your
will to fight out of fear,
**[17:12] Hij**
but I'm glad to see you're still
that same old unpredictable moron.
**[17:15] Gin**
Look who's talking.
**[17:16] Gin**
You took awfully long to drag out your
grapefruits after they'd shrunk back inside.
**[17:21] Kon**
When your enemy goes from one
country to the entire universe,
**[17:24] Kon**
no grapefruits are big enough.
**[17:28] Shin**
Sorry! We tried to prevent this, but failed!
**[17:31] Oki**
Jeez. Who was it that cockily
said to leave Edo in her hands?
**[17:37] Kag**
And whose stinking mouth was it that said
he'd come back stronger than anyone?
**[17:43] Oki**
If nothing else, I have grown
strong enough to one-shot you.
**[17:47] Hij**
We gathered up rebels
from across the country,
**[17:50] Hij**
used the old bakufu's connections,
and gained support from other countries.
**[17:53] Kon**
We have more political power than
we could even imagine before.
**[17:56] Kon**
We even bought cutting-edge
weaponry and battleships.
**[17:59] Gin**
That so?
**[18:03] Gin**
And how long will all of that
last against the entire universe?
**[18:17] Kon**
Even if we can't win the war,
**[18:19] Kon**
we might be able to create an
opening with which to stop it.
**[18:24] Kon**
Besides, it wasn't just our political
power or weapons that grew stronger.
**[18:27] Shin**
Kondo-san!
**[18:29] Kon**
Do you really think we were twiddling
our thumbs while we were away from Edo?
**[18:35] Kon**
We swore to protect Edo for sure this time,
and that we'd grow stronger to do it.
**[18:42] Kon**
Sit back and watch the
reborn Shinsengumi's strength.
**[18:48] Shin**
No way, was that...
**[18:49] Kon**
A restraint to keep my
excessive strength in check,
**[18:52] Kon**
and a special-alloy headband that constantly
put strain on me to make me stronger.
**[18:58] Kon**
Did you really think I'd change
my costume for no reason?
**[19:03] Kon**
The time has finally come
to release this power.
**[19:07] Kon**
Gori...
**[19:09] Kon**
Ah, my head hasn't felt
this light in a long time.
**[19:12] Shin**
Of course it does! There's nothing in there!
**[19:14] Shin**
You're taking the "release" thing too far!
**[19:15] Shin**
Who the hell coordinates their
entire getup with weights?!
**[19:18] Kon**
Oops, nearly forgot to take this off, too.
**[19:22] Shin**
Don't take off the mosaic!
**[19:24] Kon**
What's this? I can't even feel my own weight.
**[19:27] Kon**
It's like I've become one with the universe.
**[19:31] Shin**
Kondo-san!
**[19:33] Kon**
Hey. What are you looking at, tree trunk?
**[19:37] Shin**
What are *you* showing off, your junk?!
**[19:44] Kon**
I see it.
**[19:46] Kon**
I see it.
**[19:47] Kon**
I see it all!
**[19:48] Kon**
The rounds are clearly visible,
like they're a slow-ass turtle.
**[19:51] Shin**
Uh, your turtle, rounds, and
ass are clearly visible, too!
**[19:55] Shin**
But wow. He's so fast.
**[19:59] Shin**
Oh, the mosaic.
**[20:05] Shin**
Why?!
**[20:06] Shin**
What happened, Kondo-san?!
**[20:08] Shin**
Don't tell me the real thing
was behind that mosaic!
**[20:10] Shin**
Did you step on your own dick?!
**[20:16] Oki**
Oh, well.
**[20:18] Hij**
Hey, take care of Kondo-san.
**[20:22] Shin**
Hijikata-san! Okita-san!
**[20:24] Hij**
We wanted to save this for a turning point...
**[20:27] Oki**
But now, we have no choice but
to release our powers as well.
**[20:32] Shin**
Wait, are you two...
**[20:35] Oki**
We attained this to protect Edo once again.
**[20:39] Hij**
Behold our new powers!
**[20:44] Shin**
Th-That's...
**[20:48] Hij**
Nicotine Dispel!
**[20:50] Hij**
*Allow me to explain.*
**[20:52] Hij**
* Nicotine Dispel, which involves quitting*
* smoking to increase lung capacity*
**[20:55] Hij**
* and make food taste better,*
* is Hijikata's new power.*
**[20:58] Shin**
All you did was start
taking care of yourself!
**[21:02] Oki**
Mayonnaise Burst!
**[21:06] Oki**
*Allow me to explain.*
**[21:07] Oki**
* Mayonnaise Burst, which involves wasting*
* mayonnaise in front of Hijikata,*
**[21:11] Oki**
* who lives only for mayonnaise,*
* is Okita's new power.*
**[21:14] Shin**
That's nothing new!
**[21:15] Shin**
In the past and now, all you've
ever done is harass the guy!
**[21:20] Hij**
This is the new Shinsengumi's strength!
**[21:22] Oki**
Watch and be amazed!
**[21:25] Shin**
Hey! They haven't changed one bit!
**[21:30] Gin**
They've gotten worse, if anything.
**[21:32] Ymz**
Well, duh, boss.
**[21:35] Ymz**
People can't change that easily.
**[21:38] Ymz**
In other words...
**[21:46] Ymz**
Our desire to protect Edo hasn't
changed one bit, either.
**[21:51] Gin**
Uh, who are you? A new character?
**[21:55] Ymz**
What're you talking about?
**[21:57] Ymz**
It's me, Zakiyama.
**[21:59] Gin**
You're a totally different person now!
