***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** Silver Soul
**[01:56] Mat**
Shinsuke-sama!
***SIGN*** Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright
room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!!!
**[02:03] Nbnb**
That'll be enough.
**[02:07] Nbnb**
We didn't come here for a clash of hatred.
**[02:13] Nbnb**
So please, men.
**[02:17] Nbnb**
Could you hold it in?
**[02:23] En**
No need for that.
**[02:26] En**
Finish me off.
**[02:28] En**
My hatred, and my sorrow with it,
**[02:33] En**
will stay with me as long as I'm alive.
**[02:38] En**
The object of her vengeance... was me.
**[02:45] En**
I kept running away from
her and to the battlefield,
**[02:51] En**
so I must be fated to die here.
**[02:55] Tak**
Are you scared of the war ending?
**[02:58] Tak**
Once it's over, even a hero will
go back to being an ordinary man.
**[03:05] Tak**
But that's his real battlefield.
**[03:11] Tak**
Now that your body is no
longer capable of running,
**[03:14] Tak**
face your suffering and struggle
for the rest of your life,
**[03:19] Tak**
as an ordinary man.
**[03:22] En**
You...
**[03:25] Tak**
I'm not all that different from you.
**[03:28] Tak**
I'm drowning in the countless
sins I've committed.
**[03:33] Tak**
However...
**[03:35] Tak**
If the man wrought by my sins...
**[03:39] Tak**
If that man over there tells me to stop,
I have no choice but to stop.
**[03:44] Tak**
Takasugi...
**[03:48] Sak**
Good grief. Can't defy the
shogun's orders, can we?
**[03:53] Kat**
I don't intend to look up
at that man as a shogun.
**[03:57] Kat**
But...
**[03:59] Kat**
If the real shogun were here,
**[04:03] Kat**
perhaps I would have.
**[04:13] Nbnb**
This is our battlefield no longer.
**[04:16] Nbnb**
Burdened with hatred and sorrow you may be,
**[04:19] Nbnb**
but you must still live on, my people.
**[04:24] En**
The same eyes.
**[04:27] En**
I could never match up to people
with that look in their eyes.
**[04:34] En**
The land of the samurai, eh?
**[04:36] En**
It is a wonderful country with wonderful
people and a wonderful king.
**[04:42] En**
I shall stop this ship from crashing.
**[04:45] En**
Would you help me?
**[04:48] G**
Prince.
**[04:51] Shi**
You fool.
**[04:58] Shi**
With those men,
**[05:00] Shi**
you could have walked down
a path to a different future.
**[05:05] Shi**
Why didn't you realize sooner, you fool?
**[05:08] En**
Forgive me, Shijaku.
**[05:15] Shi**
Ensho!
**[05:17] G**
S-Screw that!
**[05:19] G**
We kept fighting all this
time under your orders!
**[05:23] G**
If you stop now, what did
our comrades die for?!
**[05:26] Shi**
Why, you!
**[05:27] G**
Seize him!
**[05:29] Shi**
Ensho! Ensho!
**[05:42] Bo**
Nobunobu!
**[05:48] Nbnb**
Would you stop?!
**[05:53] Nbnb**
Hold it in...
**[05:56] Nbnb**
Did you not hear me the first time?
**[05:59] Sak**
Nobunobu...
**[06:01] Nbnb**
Forgive that man.
**[06:04] Nbnb**
He has said nothing wrong.
**[06:09] Nbnb**
If you still have ammunition,
**[06:11] Nbnb**
shoot me until you're satisfied.
**[06:15] Nbnb**
As the ones who started this war,
**[06:17] Nbnb**
we are obligated to take those shots.
**[06:21] Nbnb**
Fire every last shot you have.
**[06:22] Nbnb**
Even so,
**[06:24] Nbnb**
my people will suppress their
hatred and end this war!
**[06:37] Sak**
Hurry! Hurry up and treat him!
**[06:39] G**
Th-The medics are...
**[06:41] G**
They're all treating Mutsu-sama and
Elizabeth-san on Nobunobu-sama's orders.
**[06:45] Sak**
Nobunobu, you...
**[06:48] Nbnb**
It's fine. I knew this was coming.
**[06:54] Nbnb**
From the moment I killed the
shogun to take his place.
**[07:01] Nbnb**
I don't think I could ever
fill Shigeshige's shoes,
**[07:05] Nbnb**
but if a shogun in name alone
**[07:07] Nbnb**
can stop a war by simply
laying down his life,
**[07:11] Nbnb**
what more could you ask for?
**[07:13] Sak**
Our war ain't over yet.
**[07:17] Sak**
"Once a man bears the burden of leadin'
a country, he can't expect ta die so easily."
**[07:22] Sak**
Did you forget I told you that?
**[07:25] Sak**
Are you tryin' to make us foolish
people who let their king die twice?!
**[07:34] Nbnb**
King?
**[07:36] Nbnb**
You're willing to call me that?
**[07:41] Kat**
You were one of the stupidest
rulers in history.
**[07:45] Kat**
But back then, when you fought
with us to protect our country,
**[07:51] Kat**
our king certainly was there.
**[07:55] Nbnb**
Of all the silly things to say.
**[07:57] Nbnb**
Don't your hearts have them already?
**[08:04] Nbnb**
You were the ones who each fought
for the kings within your hearts.
**[08:15] Nbnb**
Our country no longer needs a shogun.
**[08:20] Nbnb**
I think I finally understand
why he said that.
**[08:26] Nbnb**
Even then, even if it was only for a moment,
**[08:32] Nbnb**
if I could become your shogun,
**[08:36] Nbnb**
then perhaps there was meaning
to Tokugawa Nobunobu's life.
**[08:42] Nbnb**
Thank you.
**[08:43] Nbnb**
And...
**[08:45] Nbnb**
I'm sorry.
**[08:49] Nbnb**
It seems the time has come.
**[08:56] Nbnb**
*As the last shogun, I must go with them.*
**[09:03] Nbnb**
*A kingless era is coming.*
**[09:07] Nbnb**
*But...*
**[09:17] Nbnb**
*I know all of you will be fine.*
**[09:22] Nbnb**
*I leave the rest to you,*
**[09:32] Nbnb**
*the countless kings inheriting this country.*
**[09:37] Nbnb**
* Let's put an end to this era that*
* gave birth to so much sorrow.*
**[09:46] Nbnb**
*And let's begin,*
**[09:49] Nbnb**
*by chopping off the shackles*
**[09:54] Nbnb**
*of the past,*
**[09:57] Nbnb**
*our new era.*
***SIGN*** Silver Soul Arc
***SIGN*** Countless Kings
**[10:13] Uts**
The dragon is calming down.
**[10:16] Uts**
Someone is quelling the
surge in the ley lines.
**[10:19] Nar**
Only *they* could be capable of such a feat.
**[10:24] Uts**
They're still alive?
**[10:30] Uts**
The Priestesses of the Golden
Dragon and the Dog Deity...
**[10:33] Uts**
From the clan who have watched
over the Gate since ancient times.
**[10:50] Uts**
The ones who subdue the dragon's
rage and quell its surges.
**[10:57] Uts**
They are...
**[10:59] Mat**
Hello! Ane-chan, the
cabaret priestess, right?
**[11:02] Mat**
Long time no talk!
**[11:03] Mat**
Sorry. You went to the trouble of calling me,
**[11:05] Mat**
but I can't come to the club tonight.
**[11:09] Mat**
The world's about to be destroyed, you see.
**[11:11] Mat**
I can't get off work!
I don't know what to do!
**[11:15] Ane**
Oh, it's fine. I just
wanted to hear your voice.
**[11:19] Ane**
Okay, later!
**[11:21] Ane**
As if!
**[11:21] Ane**
Who'd make cabaret club
sales calls at this time?!
**[11:24] Ane**
Were you listening to a word I said?
**[11:25] Mat**
I am listening.
**[11:27] Mat**
Basically, you have two jobs: cabaret
girl and protector of the world.
**[11:30] Mat**
You just want me to keep it a
secret from the club, right?
**[11:33] Ane**
* Get your head out of the*
* cabaret club already!*
**[11:35] Ane**
Listen up, and listen well.
**[11:37] Ane**
We'll go around subduing
the ley line outbursts.
**[11:40] Ane**
You shut down whoever it is that's
controlling the gate below the terminal!
**[11:45] Ane**
That way, things will go back to normal.
**[11:48] Mat**
Ane-chan...
**[11:49] Ane**
*Please.*
**[11:50] Ane**
*All of this is happening to our country*
**[11:52] Ane**
because our clan couldn't protect the
gate from the Amanto in the first place.
**[12:00] Ane**
*We want to take back what we lost back then.*
**[12:05] Ane**
* But I don't know if you still have*
* the manpower to pull it off...*
**[12:09] Mat**
Yeah, we might not have enough.
**[12:14] Mat**
But if I'm ordering Dom Perignon
for everyone at the victory party,
**[12:17] Mat**
*this will make it easier on my bank account.*
**[12:24] Kam**
You look like death. What's wrong?
**[12:27] Kam**
Looking for something?
**[12:29] Kam**
Is it this silver big bro over here,
**[12:32] Kam**
or the bloodied big bro over here?
**[12:35] Kam**
Just kidding.
**[12:36] Kag**
Gin-chan! Kamui!
**[12:38] Shin**
Thank goodness! We believed you'd make it!
**[12:42] Kag**
Did you do this to Gin-chan?!
**[12:45] Kam**
Please don't insult me.
**[12:48] Kam**
That monster stole my prey before,
**[12:51] Kam**
so I repaid the favor.
**[12:55] Shin**
You just tried to kill
him before Utsuro could!
**[12:59] Gin**
I get the feeling I would've been better
off eating the Altana explosion.
**[13:03] Kam**
You would've died if I'd
gone all-out, y'know.
**[13:05] Gin**
I would've died if I
*hadn't* gone all-out, too.
**[13:07] Kam**
Well, learn your lesson from
this and be more careful.
**[13:13] Kam**
I'm sick and tired of losing.
**[13:15] Kam**
Even having you gone would leave
us unable to beat that monster.
**[13:20] Kag**
Kamui...
**[13:22] Oki**
Yeesh.
**[13:24] Oki**
You're letting a boar
lecture you not to be rash?
**[13:27] Oki**
How the mighty have fallen, boss.
**[13:29] Oki**
But he's got a point.
**[13:31] Oki**
You're losing sight of everything
around you when you face that guy.
**[13:35] Oki**
Otherwise, you wouldn't have let
the boar land a kick on you.
**[13:39] Kam**
Are you saying you can dodge
that boar's kicks, then?
**[13:44] Oki**
Sorry, but I'm not falling
for your cheap provocation.
**[13:47] Oki**
Besides, we can't afford to lose
any more manpower or boarpower.
**[13:52] Kam**
No need to worry.
**[13:54] Kam**
I can more than make up for your loss.
**[13:57] Oki**
Oh? Them's fighting words.
**[13:58] Kag**
Hey, stop it!
**[13:59] Kag**
Enough of that knocked-down
Vegeta and Piccolo dialogue!
**[14:02] Kag**
We're all tired of it!
**[14:03] Oki**
Let's keep it simple, then.
**[14:05] Oki**
Your sister's ugly!
**[14:08] Kam**
Right back at ya.
**[14:09] Kag**
"Right back at ya," my ass!
**[14:11] Kag**
Take that back!
**[14:12] Gin**
Sheesh, now I owe a real weirdo one.
**[14:17] Shin**
I'm just glad you survived that situation.
**[14:20] Gin**
How about the others?
**[14:21] Shin**
No idea. All of Edo is in a similar state.
**[14:25] Shin**
Who knows just how many
casualties there were?
**[14:28] Abu**
Looks like humans weren't the only victims.
**[14:31] Shin**
Gengai-san! You're okay!
**[14:34] Gen**
Do I look okay? These guys...
**[14:38] Gen**
They threw me around like a sack of garbage!
**[14:42] Abu**
I heard that on this planet, both useless
people and objects are seen as junk.
**[14:47] Gen**
The real junk is the medals awarded to
those who burn out in the line of duty!
**[14:53] Gen**
Learn from those guys!
They fulfilled their duty!
**[14:56] Shin**
Fulfilled their duty?
**[14:58] Abu**
Oh, the nanomachine virus
this geezer scattered.
**[15:02] Abu**
It seems it's completely dead.
**[15:04] Shin**
The bees are?
**[15:06] Shin**
Then right now, Edo is...
**[15:07] Gen**
Completely defenseless.
**[15:10] Gen**
If the Liberation Army fleet attacks
now, we have no means to stop them.
**[15:16] Shin**
Dammit!
**[15:16] Abu**
Looking at this country, everyone
would think only one thing...
**[15:20] Abu**
"The battle has already been decided."
**[15:24] Abu**
Maybe it's only the ones here
who haven't admitted defeat yet.
**[15:31] Tak**
*There are some here, too.*
**[15:34] Tak**
*Above you,*
**[15:36] Tak**
*all the way up in space.*
**[15:39] Tak**
Don't worry about the Liberation Army.
**[15:42] Tak**
They've been dealt with already.
**[15:46] Tak**
Gintoki,
**[15:47] Tak**
it's your turn now.
**[15:51] Gin**
That so?
**[15:52] Gin**
I don't know who you are,
**[15:55] Gin**
but thanks for covering
our asses from space.
**[15:59] Gin**
But you shouldn't have bothered.
**[16:02] Gin**
Not a single person here
has been rendered junk yet.
**[16:08] Gin**
What we tried to protect doesn't
have a single scratch on it.
**[16:13] Gin**
It's too early for talk of medals.
**[16:18] Gin**
*How about you?*
**[16:20] Gin**
* Surely you haven't turned into junk just*
* from stopping the Liberation Army.*
**[16:25] Tak**
Of course not.
**[16:26] Tak**
*Be ready, because I'm coming for you.*
**[16:30] Mone**
Sister, something's off with Komako.
**[16:33] Ane**
Must be using up too much Zen power.
**[16:35] Ane**
If only we had him right now...
**[16:38] Mone**
Sister! You know he chose to
walk down a different path!
**[16:43] Mone**
It's too late...
**[16:46] Mone**
Komako?
**[16:48] Ane**
That howl...
***SIGN*** Lake Touya
**[16:51] Hij**
Okay, gotcha.
**[16:55] Hij**
Hey. Took you long enough.
**[17:00] Hij**
We found a way to stop that.
**[17:04] Hij**
But we should hurry.
**[17:07] Hij**
The dog's gone.
**[17:09] Hij**
You know why, don't you?
**[17:13] Mone**
Komako!
**[17:17] Ane**
Are you saying you'll fight with us?
**[17:22] Kon**
Dog Deities?
**[17:24] Hij**
Yeah. According to Pops,
Edo is only barely holding on
**[17:28] Hij**
thanks to those dubious occult beings.
**[17:33] Hij**
We've gotta crush the enemy while
they're subduing the surge.
**[17:37] Kon**
Got it.
**[17:38] Kon**
I'll take everyone who can
fight and head right there.
**[17:43] Kon**
If even dogs lost faith in
humans and rose up themselves,
**[17:47] Kon**
how can we not claw our way back up, too?
**[17:53] Gin**
That stupid mutt!
**[17:55] Gin**
Why'd he have to remember an ancient premise
that even our viewers have forgotten?
**[17:59] Abu**
Do the people of this planet beg even
dogs for help when they're desperate?
**[18:04] Gin**
We haven't fallen far enough
to accept help from rabbits.
**[18:07] Abu**
Offering you our help would
be selling ourselves short.
**[18:10] Abu**
Commander!
**[18:11] Abu**
We're going ahead.
**[18:14] Abu**
Rabbits only help out other rabbits.
**[18:16] Abu**
That other rabbit over there?
**[18:18] Abu**
Babysit her yourself, "Big Bro."
**[18:22] Kam**
Wait, Abuto!
**[18:24] Kam**
Those guys palmed all the
dead weight off on me!
**[18:27] Gin**
What was that?
**[18:28] Kam**
I said I'd kick you again if
you don't get a move on.
**[18:32] Gin**
And whose fault is it that
my body's so slow now?
**[18:35] Gin**
Just you try kicking me.
**[18:36] Gin**
I'll slow down until I'm dead.
**[18:39] (Flashback) Kag**
There has to be something only you can do.
**[18:45] Kag**
*If I hadn't said that to him...*
**[18:48] Soy**
*I'm so sorry, Kagura-chan.*
**[18:51] Soy**
* I should've kept closer*
* watch on Sadaharu-kun.*
**[18:54] Kag**
*It's not your fault!*
**[18:57] Nob**
Exactly. Both he and that man
**[19:01] Nob**
made their own decisions and
went off of their own will.
**[19:06] Nob**
They could only take that
step without hesitation
**[19:10] Nob**
because they had people they could
trust with things behind them.
**[19:14] Nob**
That's what you need to be.
**[19:18] Nob**
Take care of the princess.
**[19:24] Soy**
Nobume-san?
**[19:25] Soy**
Nobume-san!
**[19:31] Nob**
*The enemy seems to have noticed our moves.*
**[19:35] Nob**
I'll lead them away from the princess.
**[19:39] Nob**
The enemy's presence vanished...?
**[19:42] Kag**
Nobutas? Nobutas!
**[19:46] Kam**
Jump!
**[19:57] Gin**
These guys...
**[20:02] Kag**
Outta my way!
**[20:05] Kag**
I don't have time to waste on you!
**[20:08] Kag**
Get out of my way!
**[20:10] Gin**
Don't push yourself,
Kagura! These guys are...
**[20:17] Gin**
Kagura!
**[20:22] Kam**
So what if the enemy's immortal?
**[20:25] Kam**
If they won't die, we can just
break them until they can't move.
**[20:33] Kag**
Kamui!
**[20:34] Kam**
Unfortunately for you, I may not be immortal,
**[20:40] Kam**
but this isn't nearly enough to break me.
**[20:43] Kag**
Kamui, you...
**[20:45] Kam**
Calm down a little.
**[20:47] Kam**
Rabbits only help out other rabbits.
**[20:50] Kam**
If you go and die, the
big rabbit won't show up.
**[21:00] Kam**
Hey, you're late.
**[21:02] Kam**
Your dear little bunnies are crying.
**[21:05] UB**
Oh? Where are they?
**[21:08] UB**
I only see mischievous little brats.
**[21:11] Kag**
Daddy! Nobutas!
**[21:13] Gin**
Umibozu!
**[21:14] UB**
This is the planet that
started the end of the world.
**[21:18] UB**
I came prepared not to be surprised
by anything I ran into here.
**[21:23] UB**
But even after 25 years as an alien hunter,
**[21:26] UB**
the universe still has surprises
left in store for me.
**[21:32] UB**
This world really is too amusing to end!
**[21:43] UB**
Oh? Are you the failures who
inherited Utsuro's blood?
**[21:48] UB**
But immortality isn't exclusive to you.
**[21:52] UB**
This geezer, who came back from the dead
to repay your boss for what he did,
**[21:57] UB**
and the people still fighting
in this planet of rubble...
**[22:01] UB**
We are immortal and indomitable, standing
back up no matter how many times we fall.
**[22:05] UB**
Who knows who'll be the last one standing?
**[22:10] UB**
As for you...
**[22:12] UB**
Die right here and now!
