***SIGN*** Emergency Rescue
***SIGN*** Defend Kabuki District from the Amanto!
***SIGN*** Operation: Drain the Pond!
**[00:13] Ex**
Gin-san, do your best!
***SIGN*** Watch Operation: Drain the Pond in a bright
room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!
**[00:15] Gin**
That's a lot of sludge.
**[00:17] Kag**
I can't wait to see what kind
of alien species we find.
**[00:20] Shin**
Uh...
**[00:22] Shin**
Hey, guys!
**[00:24] Shin**
Gin-san, Kagura-chan!
**[00:26] Shin**
What the heck are you doing?!
**[00:28] Gin**
Draining the pond.
**[00:30] Shin**
Yeah, I can tell!
**[00:31] Shin**
It's the Gintama anime's first episode
of the final arc's second half!
**[00:35] Shin**
I'm asking why you're draining a
pond in such a crucial episode!
**[00:39] Kag**
What are you talking about, Shinpachi?
**[00:41] Kag**
We've gotta hook the viewers
with the very first episode!
**[00:45] Kag**
Pointless shows about stuff like draining
ponds tend to have surprisingly good ratings.
**[00:50] Kag**
True story!
**[00:52] Shin**
Why're you acting like a trailblazer when
you're just ripping off another show?!
**[00:56] Shin**
Get to the actual story!
**[00:57] Gin**
Dude, did you even see
how the first half ended?
**[01:00] Gin**
What was that all about?
**[01:01] Gin**
A guy who had no screen time
for an entire cour
**[01:04] Gin**
gets a close-up of his smug face, steals
the spotlight, and that's how it ends?
**[01:08] Gin**
We can't do anything but drain a pond now.
**[01:10] Shin**
Uh, I don't follow your logic at all!
**[01:12] Gin**
You still don't get it, Shinpachi?
**[01:14] Gin**
This is intricately linked to the
*Gintama* anime's actual story!
**[01:17] Shin**
Huh?
**[01:18] Gin**
We earthlings have, until now,
**[01:20] Gin**
have just looked on as the Amanto took over
our towns and did whatever they wanted.
**[01:25] Gin**
And now, we've even ended
up at war with them.
**[01:28] Gin**
Unless we weed out the root cause,
**[01:30] Gin**
the Kabuki District will never have peace.
**[01:34] Gin**
In other words,
**[01:35] Gin**
we must get rid of the
alien species in the pond!
**[01:38] Shin**
I don't get it at all!
**[01:40] Shin**
You're just riding on the
coattails of a hit show!
**[01:41] Kag**
Oh, we drained most of
the water while arguing.
**[01:42] Shin**
Isn't that right? Fess up!
**[01:44] Gin**
Where are those damn alien species?
**[01:46] Kag**
Gin-chan, look!
**[01:52] Gin**
Could they be...
**[01:54] Gin**
In the first half,
**[01:56] Gin**
they were among the characters rushing
to the Kabuki District's aid!
**[02:18] Gin**
Let's begin the second half, shall we?
**[02:21] Gin**
Take care of the narration, Pachi-boy.
***SIGN*** Silver Soul
***SIGN*** The Story So Far
**[02:28] Shin**
*The land of the samurai.*
**[02:30] Shin**
* There was a time, long ago, when our*
* country was called by that name.*
**[02:35] Shin**
* The Altana Liberation Army was formed*
* to end the Tendoshu's galactic rule.*
**[02:40] Shin**
* They invaded Earth with their*
* mothership, the Heavenly Bird.*
**[02:45] Shin**
* Despite the overwhelming*
* difference in strength,*
**[02:47] Shin**
*we rose up to defend Edo and Earth.*
**[02:52] Shin**
*The Oniwaban,*
**[02:54] Shin**
*the Shinsengumi,*
**[02:55] Shin**
* and countless people who*
* love the Kabuki District*
**[02:57] Shin**
* threw themselves headlong*
* into a reckless battle.*
**[03:01] Shin**
*In space, Katsura-san, Sakamoto-san,*
**[03:04] Shin**
* and Shogun Tokugawa Nobunobu*
* entered negotiations*
**[03:07] Shin**
* and won over Admiral Shijaku,*
* one of the Liberation Army's top brass.*
**[03:12] Shin**
* However, things didn't go*
* so smoothly after that.*
**[03:17] Shin**
*Dangers assailed us one after another,*
**[03:19] Shin**
*and we sacrificed many things.*
**[03:22] Shin**
* That's when Gengai-san's invention,*
* the nanomachine virus,*
**[03:27] Shin**
* rendered useless the weapons*
* of the Liberation Army,*
**[03:29] Shin**
*who brought the three great warrior races:*
**[03:31] Shin**
*the Dakini,*
**[03:32] Shin**
*the Shinra,*
**[03:33] Shin**
* and the Yato with them to*
* attack the Kabuki District.*
**[03:37] Shin**
*During that desperate back-and-forth battle,*
**[03:39] Shin**
*several people jumped in to help,*
**[03:42] Shin**
* and we somehow managed to force the*
* Liberation Army into a temporary retreat.*
**[03:48] Shin**
*But our joy was short-lived.*
**[03:49] Shin**
*Gengai-san was abducted by Yato,*
**[03:52] Shin**
* and over in space, a weapon that could*
* obliterate a planet in one shot,*
**[03:55] Shin**
*the Flame of Kagutsuchi, was activated.*
**[03:57] Shin**
* The countdown to Earth's*
* destruction had begun.*
**[04:00] Shin**
* Katsura-san's party found*
* themselves in grave peril.*
**[04:02] Shin**
*That's when* he *showed up.*
**[04:07] Tak**
A weapon of destruction that'll erase Earth?
**[04:11] Tak**
Sorry, but it won't get a chance to shine.
**[04:17] Tak**
The one to destroy this world
**[04:22] Tak**
will be me.
**[04:23] G**
Wh-Who is that man?
**[04:30] PA**
*Intruders in Sector 17!*
**[04:31] PA**
* Head there and provide backup*
* at once! I repeat...*
**[04:36] G**
Prince!
**[04:37] G**
Sector 17
**[04:38] G**
and Sector 22 have been
breached by assault ships!
**[04:50] G**
D-Don't move!
**[04:52] G**
You don't have to be so afraid.
**[04:54] G**
Relax.
**[04:56] G**
I'm not on the side of anyone here.
**[04:59] G**
I won't ally with anyone, either.
**[05:03] G**
I'm just...
**[05:06] G**
an enemy to the entire universe!
**[05:08] G**
Fire!
**[05:16] Tak**
Kiheitai!
**[05:18] Tak**
Charge!

**[06:55] (Flashback) Mat**
Could you take me with you?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Mat**
I know who you are.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Mat**
I know your goals, too.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Mat**
I'm the same.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Mat**
I've lost everything to war.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Mat**
My father, who fought to
ensure the country's future,
**[07:13] (Flashback) Mat**
was arrested and killed
by that very same country.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Mat**
And my mother died as the wife of a sinner.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Mat**
As the last one left alive,
**[07:24] (Flashback) Mat**
all I can do is avenge my family
using the gun my father left behind!
**[07:30] (Flashback) Mat**
Let me join your quest to
exact revenge on this country!
**[07:34] (Flashback) Mat**
Let me avenge my family!
**[07:36] (Flashback) Tak**
In that case,
**[07:38] (Flashback) Tak**
shoot yourself in the head with that gun.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Tak**
That's the kind of thing I'm trying to do.
**[07:49] (Flashback) Tak**
That's what it means to destroy a country.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Tak**
It's not too late for you.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Tak**
Try and live a smart life.
***SIGN*** Silver Soul Arc
***SIGN*** The Evildoers Who Do Good
**[08:18] (Flashback) G**
Another Joi Rebel hunt?
**[08:20] (Flashback) G**
They're rounding up anyone they don't like.
**[08:23] (Flashback) G**
What has the world come to?
**[08:27] (Flashback) Ban**
It's a pitiful story.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Ban**
I hear countless innocent people
like her are being imprisoned.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Ban**
What are they doing, when they
have other evildoers to round up?
**[08:38] (Flashback) Ban**
Like, for example,
**[08:40] (Flashback) Ban**
Takasugi Shinsuke.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Ban**
He's one of the Joi Elite Four,
and he's hiding in this area, it seems.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Ban**
That girl was targeted because
she was seen with him.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Tak**
That so?
**[08:54] (Flashback) Tak**
From what I've heard, there's another
big fish swimming these waters.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Tak**
I think his name was...
**[09:01] (Flashback) Tak**
Kawakami Bansai the Manslayer.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Ban**
Never heard of him.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Ban**
Either way, that girl was doomed the moment
she approached one of those villains.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Ban**
I shall perform a requiem for her
so that she may rest in peace.
**[09:32] (Flashback) G**
Hey, you!
**[09:33] (Flashback) G**
What do you think you're doing?
**[09:35] (Flashback) G**
Why do you have a sword?
**[09:37] (Flashback) G**
You must be a Joi Rebel!
**[09:39] (Flashback) Ban**
Quiet. You're ruining my performance.
**[09:41] (Flashback) G**
Say what?
**[09:43] (Flashback) G**
You'd better fix your attitude!
**[09:46] (Flashback) G**
H-Hey!
**[10:08] (Flashback) Ban**
It seems we were set up.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Ban**
That girl was bait laid to capture you,
**[10:16] (Flashback) Ban**
Takasugi Shinsuke.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Tak**
I don't recall falling for their trap.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Tak**
You were the one who spurred me on.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Ban**
Forgive me. I just wanted to see what
kind of man the living legend was.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Tak**
Well? What kind of man was he?
**[10:33] (Flashback) Ban**
It seems he was going around talking
about destroying the world,
**[10:38] (Flashback) Ban**
but if he can't leave a single girl
to die, it's all merely hot air.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Ban**
But I don't mind such idiots.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Tak**
Me, either.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Tak**
A guy who claimed to turn his back on a
country that had turned its back on samurai
**[10:54] (Flashback) Tak**
and was trying to rescue
the Joi Rebels in captivity
**[10:58] (Flashback) Tak**
now finds himself imprisoned
because of one girl.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Tak**
That's a rare degree of stupidity.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Tak**
If you're going to be killed
by the country anyway,
**[11:08] (Flashback) Tak**
why not die for me, Manslayer Bansai?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Ban**
You're recruiting in a prison?
**[11:15] (Flashback) Ban**
Your stupidity knows no bounds.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Ban**
Let me ask you: what will you die for?
**[11:22] (Flashback) Tak**
I won't die.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Tak**
No matter how many corpses I have to
walk over, until I trample this country,
**[11:29] (Flashback) Tak**
I refuse to die.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Ban**
Hardly the words of a man
due to be executed tomorrow.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Ban**
But laying down my life for all
that hot air doesn't sound too bad.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Mat**
Release those men.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Hen**
Goodness gracious.
**[11:51] (Flashback) Hen**
You've had your life saved twice,
and you come back for more?
**[11:54] (Flashback) Hen**
You mustn't throw away
your young and fresh body.
**[12:00] (Flashback) Hen**
Are you trying to make that man accept you?
**[12:03] (Flashback) Mat**
That's not it.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Mat**
I just don't want to let him die.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Mat**
This country needs him.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Mat**
That's all this is about, you lolicon!
**[12:15] (Flashback) Hen**
I see.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Hen**
Then know that there won't be a third
time, and that I'm not a lolicon.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Hen**
As such, I shall stop
treating you as a child now.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Mat**
Don't move!
**[12:28] (Flashback) G**
Kawakami Bansai-dono.
**[12:30] (Flashback) G**
Takasugi Shinsuke-dono, yes?
**[12:33] (Flashback) Ban**
You all!
**[12:34] (Flashback) G**
Everything is ready.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Hen**
You can have this back.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Hen**
What you need to do isn't
point that dagger at me.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Hen**
Get your revenge with your own hands.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Ban**
Did you really win over a bakufu official?
**[13:00] (Flashback) Tak**
Beats me.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Hen**
No. I had no such intentions until now,
**[13:06] (Flashback) Hen**
but I just made up my
mind at this very moment.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Hen**
After all, I'm the same as them...
**[13:12] (Flashback) Hen**
A feminist.
**[13:15] Hen**
How could this be?
**[13:19] Hen**
We hated the world,
**[13:20] Hen**
cursed it with every breath,
**[13:23] Hen**
and came together to destroy it,
**[13:28] Hen**
so why does it look like
we're trying to save it?
**[13:34] Mat**
No, Senpai. Nothing's changed.
**[13:38] Mat**
I know that the Kiheitai was
born to destroy the world...
**[13:48] (Flashback) Tak**
Let's go.
**[13:51] Mat**
And also that it was born
to save a nobody like me.
**[13:56] Mat**
So it doesn't matter
which way the dice roll!
**[14:00] Mat**
Whether we're fighting the
country or the universe,
**[14:04] Mat**
we'll cut down any rotten fiends in our way!
**[14:07] Mat**
That's who Takasugi Shinsuke
and the Kiheitai are!
**[14:17] (Flashback) Gin**
"Win and we're the national
army, lose and we're rebels"?
**[14:21] (Flashback) Gin**
Hey, Zura. We're neither rebels nor losers,
**[14:25] (Flashback) Gin**
so how long are they gonna keep mocking us?
**[14:28] (Flashback) Gin**
If we want to change classes
to the national army,
**[14:30] (Flashback) Gin**
will we need a Zen Book or something?
**[14:34] (Flashback) Kat**
Any group that turns against the
country is called a rebel army.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Kat**
Unless we drive off the Amanto, overturn
the bakufu, and build a new country,
**[14:43] (Flashback) Kat**
we'll never be the national army.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Gin**
Sounds like a hell of a broken game.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Gin**
Changing classes to Baramos
the Demon Lord sounds easier.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Sak**
Don't worry, Gintoki.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Sak**
Even without a Zen Book, players can
become the national army at level 20.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Gin**
That's for sage.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Tak**
Only idiots who become the country's
lapdogs get called national armies, right?
**[15:03] (Flashback) Tak**
Or wait...
**[15:05] (Flashback) Tak**
Did we have anyone honorable enough
to fight for the country or its people?
**[15:10] (Flashback) Gin**
You moron! Half of the Joi War
was born out of kindness.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Gin**
True, it's not the number one motive.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Gin**
But after "I wanna be popular"
and "I wanna let off some steam,"
**[15:19] (Flashback) Gin**
"I love my country" is right there.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Tak**
The Joi War was born mostly out of junk!
**[15:24] (Flashback) Tak**
What does it matter what they call us?
**[15:26] (Flashback) Tak**
We know what we're trying to do.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Tak**
Isn't that enough?
**[15:32] (Flashback) Tak**
Besides, could you guys really
cut it in a national army?
**[15:35] (Flashback) Tak**
Insurgent.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Tak**
Traitor.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Tak**
Rebel.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Tak**
You've all got your perfect titles already.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Gin**
You just like it because
you're an emo edgelord!
**[15:46] (Flashback) Gin**
I mean, you seriously called
your unit "Kiheitai."
**[15:49] (Flashback) Gin**
I wouldn't be able to endure it!
**[15:50] (Flashback) Tak**
What's wrong with Kiheitai?
**[15:52] (Flashback) Gin**
It's so embarrassing, I'd rather
call myself Berserk Biker Gang!
**[15:56] (Flashback) Tak**
You're the only one gone berserk here.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Sak**
No! My d*ck's going wild, too!
**[16:01] (Flashback) Gin**
What the hell are you saying?!
**[16:04] (Flashback) Kat**
National army, huh?
**[16:06] (Flashback) Kat**
Even if the country is overturned one day,
**[16:09] (Flashback) Kat**
we probably won't ever be called that.
**[16:28] Sak**
Those monsters are here.
**[16:31] Sak**
You sure kept us waitin'.
**[16:33] Sak**
But I knew you'd come, Takasugi!
**[16:37] Kat**
Did you come back so
I could cut you in half?!
**[16:40] Tak**
I don't mind fighting you guys first.
**[16:43] Tak**
I'll eventually have to fight
the entire universe, anyway.
**[16:47] Kat**
After trying to take over the nation,
you're going to go after the universe?!
**[16:51] Tak**
Country or universe, there's no difference.
**[16:54] Tak**
Either way, he will
definitely stand in my way.
**[16:58] Tak**
Unless I take him out,
**[17:01] Tak**
I can take neither country nor universe!
**[17:05] Sak**
Ah, I see.
**[17:06] Sak**
As long as that idiot's there,
Earth is in safe hands.
**[17:09] Sak**
We can let loose without worry, eh?
**[17:13] Tak**
Wrong.
**[17:14] Tak**
That nuisance isn't here,
**[17:16] Tak**
so we can take whatever we want.
**[17:18] Tak**
I'll do anything I can.
**[17:21] Tak**
Be it hope, despair, good,
evil, friends, or enemies...
**[17:26] Tak**
Even if I have to use every last one,
**[17:30] Tak**
I'll crush that man.
**[17:34] Tak**
That is my purpose in life
right here, right now.
**[17:47] Shi**
Reinforcements?
**[17:48] Shi**
Hurry, my friends from Earth!
**[17:50] Tak**
Get going.
**[17:52] Tak**
I'll stop that weapon.
**[17:55] Tak**
You two can have the enemy general's head.
**[17:58] Kat**
You...
**[17:59] Tak**
While you're at it,
**[18:01] Tak**
take care of that general, too.
**[18:05] Tak**
Hey.
**[18:06] Tak**
I'm glad to see you still have
a head on your shoulders.
**[18:11] Tak**
Sorry I carried you to shogun
at such a dreadful time.
**[18:17] Tak**
I betrayed you, and you
betrayed me, but rest assured.
**[18:22] Tak**
These guys won't betray you or turn their
backs on you. Not you or this country.
**[18:29] Tak**
So you should also...
**[18:32] Tak**
Go!
**[18:52] Nb**
*I know...*
**[18:55] Nb**
* Who it was that offered their help when*
* our country faced its greatest peril.*
**[19:03] Nb**
* Who it was that were called*
* rebels and traitors,*
**[19:06] Nb**
*but still fought to protect the country.*
**[19:13] Nb**
*You men were still fighting, weren't you?*
**[19:18] Nb**
Hear me, those abandoned by the country.
**[19:21] Nb**
This country will never again betray you.
**[19:27] Nb**
Never again will it cast you aside.
**[19:32] Nb**
Shogun Tokugawa Nobunobu and the
country's crest stand here with you.
**[19:40] Nb**
I won't let anyone call you traitors anymore.
**[19:42] Nb**
You are our country's pride
and joy, its national—
**[19:45] Kat**
Rebel army is fine.
**[19:47] Kat**
We're all right with that.
**[19:50] Nb**
Is that so?
**[19:52] Nb**
* Then I shall join you in*
* the rebel army myself.*
**[19:57] Nb**
*This country... This whole planet*
**[20:01] Nb**
* is a rebel army that stands*
* up to the universe!*
**[20:08] Y**
Found it.
**[20:13] Y**
Several cylinders inside.
**[20:16] Y**
Bring it here at once.
**[20:20] Y**
It seems you weren't lying when
you said you had a countermeasure.
**[20:25] Gen**
An inventor's job is to
create contradictions.
**[20:29] Gen**
If we're told to build an unbreakable shield,
**[20:32] Gen**
we first build the only unstoppable
spear that can break it
**[20:35] Gen**
before comprehending and
completing the shield.
**[20:38] Y**
In other words, you have a way to destroy
the nanomachine virus protecting Edo?
**[20:46] Gen**
I didn't expect it to end up as a spear
that'd destroy the world, though.
**[20:56] Tak**
How do things look?
**[20:57] Hen**
Everything's fine,
**[21:00] Hen**
or so I would like to say.
Our reinforcements are delayed.
**[21:05] Hen**
We can only distract the
enemy for so long...
**[21:09] Ban**
*Worry not, Takechi.*
**[21:10] Ban**
They won't be needed here.
**[21:13] Mat**
More importantly, Senpai,
**[21:14] Mat**
how's the Flame of Kagutsuchi analysis going?
**[21:16] Hen**
Everything's fine on that end.
**[21:19] Hen**
Even if it's a weapon that can erase a
planet, it's based on old technology.
**[21:24] Hen**
There are exploits we can use.
**[21:26] Hen**
However...
**[21:28] Hen**
Even if we stop the Flame of Kagutsuchi,
**[21:32] Hen**
should Earth yield to its threat
and take down that barrier,
**[21:38] Hen**
everything will have been in vain.
