    room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!
[00:12] U
    Didn't you find it strange?
[00:15] U
    I've destroyed the ley lines and
    Altana gates of so many planets,
[00:19] U
    so why wasn't I doing the same to Earth?
[00:23] U
    Was I showing mercy to my homeland?
[00:26] U
    Was it just out of a whim?
[00:34] U
    No.
[00:36] U
    I saved it for a special moment...
[00:39] U
    For you all.
[00:43] G
    Chief!
[00:54] G
    Detecting a high-energy
    reading on Earth's surface!
[00:56] G
    What's going on?!
[00:58] G
    This is almost like...
[00:59] G
    A repeat of that time!
[01:01] En
    Altana gone berserk?
[01:04] G
    Only the Tendoshu could
    cause something like this!
[01:08] En
    They're wrong.
[01:10] En
    The Tendoshu are long gone already.
[01:13] En
    Then who could it be?
[01:17] En
    What if they're the same?
[01:20] En
    What if the destruction
    of our homeland and Earth
[01:25] En
    were caused by the same person,
    who's still down there?
SIGN    Gintama
SIGN    Silver Soul
[03:07] U
    Perhaps they, too, have noticed by now...
[03:13] U
    Who their real enemy is.
[03:19] U
    The long, long night will end soon.
[03:22] U
    There is no need to feel sorrow.
[03:25] U
    Nor is there a need to suffer.
[03:36] U
    Because nothing will remain
    to prove that you ever lived.
[03:44] Gin
    But I'm gonna leave a mark, Utsuro.
[03:47] Gin
    I'm gonna cling to this life so
    hard, I'll leave bite marks!
[03:56] Soy
    Katakuriko, will everyone...
    will all of Edo's people be all right?
[04:02] Mat
    Take the princess to a safe place.
[04:04] Soy
    Katakuriko!
[04:06] Nob
    Where, exactly, is this
    "safe place" you speak of?
[04:08] Nob
    Why not tell her the truth?
[04:11] Nob
    Tell her that even the ground we stand
    on right now could blow up at any time.
[04:17] Nob
    I can understand wanting
    everyone else to be safe,
[04:21] Nob
    but being too greedy will only
    bring you pain in the long run.
[04:26] Mat
    Hmph! Did you have to be so blunt?
[04:30] Mat
    The guys up there are fighting
    with all they've got.
[04:34] Mat
    What is it that we can do right now?
[04:39] (Flashback) Kag
    Sadaharu.
[04:42] (Flashback) Kag
    Take care of Nobutas and Soyo-chan, okay?
[04:46] (Flashback) Kag
    No!
[04:47] (Flashback) Kag
    There has to be something only you can do.
[04:52] (Flashback) Kag
    Doesn't matter what it is.
[04:54] (Flashback) Kag
    We all have to do what only
    we can, the best we can.
[04:58] (Flashback) Kag
    When those things add up,
[05:01] (Flashback) Kag
    we can save anything, even Earth.
[05:05] (Flashback) Kag
    Isn't that right, Sadaharu?
[05:13] Mat
    The Altana went out of control?
[05:15] Mat
    What's that mean, Senpai?
[05:18] Hen
    They're trying to fire that massive amount
    of energy at the Flame of Kagutsuchi.
[05:24] Hen
    If they do,
[05:26] Hen
    even this galaxy could be in danger.
[05:30] Mat
    On top of stopping the Flame of Kagutsuchi...
[05:33] Ban
    ...we must also stop the
    Altana from rampaging?
[05:41] G
    What?
SIGN    Unauthorized Call
[05:58] G
    Yo! You still alive, Kiheitai guys?!
[06:04] G
    Sorry to keep ya waiting.
[06:06] G
    Now all the villains are in one place.
[06:11] G
    Ain't that right, Liberation Army of Justice?
[06:17] Bat
    Shokaku.
[06:18] Bat
    Do your job before you run
    off to go play pirate.
[06:22] Sho
    For a pirate, you sure
    do take work seriously!
[06:27] Sho
    I'm sorry to say I can't
    stand that other guy.
[06:30] Sho
    I'll leave him to you.
[06:35] Bat
    I'm not your leader, you idiots.
[06:38] Bat
    I'm not babysitting a monkey,
[06:40] Bat
    much less escorting a freak
    who doesn't even have a body.
[06:44] Bat
    Hear that, Hankai?
[06:46] Han
    Bato... It was Earthlings
    who took my body from me.
[06:52] Han
    And you ask me to help them?
    Help my mortal enemies?
[06:58] Hen
    Precisely.
[07:00] Hen
    You're capable of infiltrating
    the ship's system
[07:02] Hen
    and controlling the Flame of
    Kagutsuchi from the inside.
[07:07] Han
    I've seen several signs of
    attempted break-ins already.
[07:11] Han
    But they've all been repelled
    by the security system.
[07:16] Han
    I suppose that's as far
    as Earthlings can go.
[07:19] Hen
    Well, yes, given this is the thirteenth
    time I'm giving you this speech.
[07:26] Hen
    Thanks to the twelve copies of you
    that my friends have released,
[07:31] Hen
    the firewall is gradually
    starting to come undone.
[07:35] Hen
    Your mortal enemy is that very ship.
[07:39] Hen
    Twelve of you have fallen on
    this quest. Avenge their deaths.
[07:46] G
    All of Earth's energy is
    gathering in one place.
[07:50] G
    P-Prince...
[07:52] En
    Cut off energy supply to everything
    but the vital systems.
[07:57] En
    Reroute it all to the Flame of
    Kagutsuchi's charging process
[08:01] En
    and accelerate its firing.
[08:02] G
    B-But, Prince, many of our men are still
    engaging the enemy all over the place!
[08:14] Bat
    Hey, how many more copies will
    we need to destroy that weapon?
[08:20] Hen
    No amount is enough.
[08:22] Hen
    The security system has countless
    firewalls layered upon each other.
[08:27] Hen
    But no matter how many
    walls stand in our way,
[08:31] Hen
    they can surely overcome them all.
[08:36] Sho
    I've got the headbutts to
    take out any enemy I can see.
[08:41] Bat
    So my job is to escort after all?
[08:44] Bat
    That said,
[08:45] Bat
    piloting us all to hell
    doesn't sound too bad.
[08:49] Hen
    Shokaku-san, Bato-san.
[08:52] Hen
    When it comes down to it,
    you're both hard workers, huh?
[09:04] Bat
    I can't see a thing.
[09:09] Sho
    Bato.
[09:10] Sho
    Hey, what's wrong?
[09:12] Sho
    Bato?
SIGN    Call One Call Two
[09:17] Hen
    Shokaku-san!
[09:18] Hen
    Bato-san!
[09:21] Hen
    Don't tell me...
[09:22] En
    Destroy all sectors with
    enemies inside at once.
[09:26] Hen
    Run away!
[09:38] G
    Wh-What have they done?
[09:43] Hen
    Hankai-dono.
[09:48] Hen
    How long until the Flame of
    Kagutsuchi is fired now?
[09:53] Han
    Around fifteen minutes, I'd say.
[09:56] Hen
    Is there a way to stall it?
[09:59] Han
    Link up with those outside and have
    them destroy the energy circuits.
[10:03] Han
    But even that will only
    provide a brief respite.
[10:08] G
    T-Takechi-sama!
[10:09] G
    The Liberation Army's entire
    fleet is headed this way!
[10:16] En
    Fifteen minutes will do. Keep the
    enemy pinned down for that long,
[10:21] En
    and it'll be over. All of it.
[10:27] Tak
    Takechi, do you hear me?
[10:30] Tak
    We've been separated from the unit.
[10:32] Tak
    Regrouping will be difficult.
[10:34] Tak
    So we're going to go ahead
    and charge onto the bridge.
[10:37] Hen
    Shinsuke-dono.
[10:39] Hen
    Only fifteen minutes remain before
    the Flame of Kagutsuchi fires.
[10:44] Hen
    However, I'll extend that to thirty.
[10:49] Hen
    In that time, destroy the energy circuits.
[10:53] Hen
    Can you get me a small ship?
[10:56] Mat
    What are you thinking, Takechi-senpai?
[11:00] Mat
    Senpai!
[11:06] (Flashback) Tak
    Why won't you draw your sword?
[11:09] (Flashback) Hen
    Because I know...
[11:11] (Flashback) Hen
    That we could turn the world on
    its head, but we could never
[11:17] (Flashback) Hen
    defeat you, Takasugi Shinsuke.
[11:21] (Flashback) Tak
    It seems you're smarter than these
    bodies on the ground, at least.
[11:26] (Flashback) Tak
    But then, why did you come here?
[11:28] (Flashback) Hen
    They have misused their authority and
    oppressed anyone they didn't like.
[11:35] (Flashback) Hen
    They were criminals who had to be
    brought to justice. That's why.
[11:39] (Flashback) Hen
    If you don't like how I used
    you, go ahead and kill me.
[11:44] (Flashback) Hen
    I've gone and learned that this
    world is hopelessly boring.
[11:54] (Flashback) Tak
    If this act of yours was based on your
    judgment of my character, I'm impressed.
[12:00] (Flashback) Tak
    I almost want you as a strategist.
[12:03] (Flashback) Hen
    P-Please wait!
[12:05] (Flashback) Tak
    You're not wise or anything.
[12:08] (Flashback) Tak
    Just quick to give up.
[12:10] (Flashback) Tak
    If you keep running around
    pretending to be smart,
[12:13] (Flashback) Tak
    you're running away from the unexpected.
[12:16] (Flashback) Hen
    You mean to say this country can
    be defeated if I keep fighting?
[12:22] (Flashback) Tak
    Beats me. But in order to
    live in this dull-ass world,
[12:26] (Flashback) Tak
    you've got to believe in a miracle or two.
[12:36] Hen
    I trust you're aware of our objective.
[12:39] Hen
    Just fifteen minutes.
[12:41] Hen
    That might not be just reward
    for a do-or-die mission.
[12:46] Hen
    But within those fifteen minutes
    lies a chance to cause a miracle.
[12:51] Hen
    Please, give me the last
    fifteen minutes of your lives!
[13:12] (Flashback) Tak
    If you're going to be killed
    by the country anyway,
[13:15] (Flashback) Tak
    why not die for me, Manslayer Bansai?
[13:20] (Flashback) Ban
    Let me ask you: what will you die for?
[13:25] (Flashback) Tak
    I won't die.
[13:27] (Flashback) Tak
    No matter how many corpses I have to
    walk over, until I trample this country,
[13:32] (Flashback) Tak
    I refuse to die.
[13:49] Tak
    That must be the Flame of
    Kagutsuchi's central command.
[13:53] Ban
    Run!
[13:55] Ban
    No matter how many corpses
    you have to walk over,
[13:58] Ban
    you won't die until you fulfill your goal.
[14:00] Ban
    You're the one who said that.
[14:05] Ban
    Run, Shinsuke.
[14:09] Mat
    What are you saying, Senpai?!
[14:14] Ban
    Worry not.
[14:17] Ban
    I'll fight alongside you all
    until the very end, too.
[14:21] G
    Fire!
[14:25] G
    What's the matter?
[14:29] Ban
    Dance for me.
[14:34] G
    K-Kill them!
[14:47] Ban
    Heroes are such sinful beings.
[14:52] Ban
    They never look back
[14:54] Ban
    and charge straight forward.
[14:58] Ban
    That is why people can chase after
    their backs and move forward.
[15:05] Ban
    But I understand
[15:09] Ban
    that you knew the pain and sorrow of
    walking over a corpse more than anyone,
[15:16] Ban
    but you still had to grit your
    teeth and keep moving forward.
[15:21] Ban
    I understand that you're just one weak man.
[15:27] Ban
    But even so...
[15:35] Ban
    Don't look back!
[15:37] Ban
    Don't look back...
[15:39] Ban
    Keep your eyes forward, Shinsuke!
[15:44] G
    Fire!
[16:02] Ban
    Shinsuke, it isn't yet time
    for you to look back.
[16:07] Ban
    This world can't afford
    to lose you just yet.
[16:14] Mat
    Bansai-senpai!
[16:24] Ban
    Get going, Shinsuke.
[16:25] Ban
    I promise to catch up later.
[16:28] Tak
    Bansai...
[16:29] Ban
    Worry not.
[16:31] Ban
    Isn't this how we have always been?
[16:34] Ban
    The Kiheitai is a group that's
    constantly chasing after your back!
[16:43] Ban
    No matter where you are,
[16:46] Ban
    I will catch up for sure.
[16:50] G
    The Flame of Kagutsuchi's energy
    is over 85 percent charged!
[16:54] G
    Five minutes to fire!
[16:57] En
    They're finally ending, huh?
[16:59] En
    Both our crusade
[17:01] En
    and that planet?
[17:06] G
    Detecting irregularity in
    the energy supply system!
[17:09] G
    It's not responding!
[17:11] G
    Did we route too much energy through it?
[17:13] G
    No, this is...
[17:16] Han
    The stage is set.
[17:18] Han
    But you might have a hard time getting here.
[17:22] Hen
    I'm perfectly aware.
[17:24] Hen
    Even if this ship burns to ash, I'm prepared
    to use that flame to stop the enemy.
[17:31] En
    Ah, I see. One last exercise in futility, eh?
[17:43] G
    No way...
[18:38] Ban
    Took you long enough.
SIGN    Clear Nose
[18:46] Ban
    Or perhaps I was the one who made you wait.
[18:51] Ban
    We walked over your corpses to get here.
[18:58] Ban
    So if you're here to pick me up,
    I can't exactly shoo you away.
[19:10] Ni
    I didn't come to pick you up,
    nor was I waiting for you.
[19:15] Ni
    We chase after that man
    until our bodies burn out.
[19:20] Ni
    Isn't that who we Kiheitai are?
[19:29] G
    H-He's still trying to stand?
[19:31] G
    What more can he do all alone?
[19:36] Ban
    I'm not alone.
[19:38] Ban
    Shinsuke, the Kiheitai
    live on alongside you.
[19:43] G
    Fire!
[19:59] G
    Two minutes until the Flame
    of Kagutsuchi can be fired!
[20:09] G
    We're through!
[20:12] G
    Now we just have to destroy that equipment!
[20:23] Hen
    It seems the ship couldn't handle it.
[20:28] G
    We still have ammunition.
[20:30] G
    One last shot!
[20:44] G
    Cease fire!
[20:53] G
    He's still standing after
    all that concentrated fire?
[20:56] G
    No, that man is already...
[21:09] G
    Why did he do this?
[21:18] Ban
    Shinsuke...
[21:24] Hen
    Make a miracle happen.
[21:28] G
    One minute until Flame of Kagutsuchi fires!
[21:39] Mat
    Shinsuke-sama...
[21:50] G
    What happened?
[21:51] G
    The squad engaging the
    enemy has been wiped out!
[21:54] G
    Put out the fire at once!
    Fortify Gate Three's defenses!
[21:58] G
    Don't let anyone near the control unit!
