***SIGN*** Gintama
***SIGN*** Silver Soul
***SIGN*** Silver Soul Arc
***SIGN*** Specter
**[01:39] G**
It's time for the opening comments by the
first prime minister, Donald Zuramp-kun.
***SIGN*** Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright
room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!!!!!
**[01:44] Kat**
I'm not Zuramp!
**[01:46] Kat**
I'm Katsura!
**[01:50] Kat**
Oh, my mistake.
**[01:52] Kat**
I meant that not in the sense
of a name, but as in a wig.
**[01:57] Kat**
I wanted to go public with it before
*Bunshun* caught wind of it.
**[02:01] Kat**
I am the first prime minister
of Japan, Donald Zuramp.
**[02:06] Kat**
I stand here and speak as
your representative today,
**[02:09] Kat**
but I'm just an ordinary human who
eats, poops, and sleeps like you all.
**[02:15] Kat**
*We stand at the precipice of a new era.*
**[02:19] Kat**
*Our last two shoguns once said,*
**[02:23] Kat**
*"Our country no longer needs a shogun."*
**[02:25] Kat**
* And indeed, from now on,*
* every person in this country*
**[02:30] Kat**
*will be a tiny king standing on this podium.*
**[02:34] Kat**
* We cannot waste what they protected*
* until their dying breaths.*
**[02:39] Kat**
*Within each and every one's hearts, they...*
**[02:42] Kat**
*Our kings still live on!*
**[02:45] Kat**
When the countless kings across the
country join hands and become one,
**[02:49] Kat**
our sad past will turn into
a source of pride for us!
**[02:52] Kat**
That wasn't the day our country
was reduced to rubble!
**[02:56] Kat**
It was the day our country was reborn!
**[03:04] G**
Hey, look!
**[03:05] G**
No!
**[03:09] G**
You're a crook warping the history books.
**[03:11] G**
This is divine punishment!
**[03:13] Kat**
Given that, I would like to
establish some new rules.
***SIGN*** Constitution of Japan
**[03:18] Kat**
And by that, I mean a constitution.
***SIGN*** Constitution of Japan
**[03:22] Kat**
We'll be working on it together from now on,
**[03:24] Kat**
but I've already put down the basic stuff.
**[03:27] Kat**
It'll be distributed as a supplement
with *Jump*, *Sunday*, and *Magazine.*
**[03:28] G**
Didn't he get stabbed just now?
**[03:29] G**
I'm pretty sure he did.
**[03:29] Kat**
Make sure you all check it out.
**[03:31] G**
Was that an assassin?
**[03:32] G**
Donald Zuramp!
**[03:34] G**
Divine judgment upon the
con man ruining this country!
**[03:39] Kat**
The journey we're about to
start will be endlessly long!
**[03:43] Kat**
But if we all work together,
we will definitely reach our goals!
**[03:49] Kat**
So please, everyone...
**[03:57] Kat**
I'm not going to reject you or your beliefs.
**[04:00] Kat**
However, true divine punishment
is much harsher.
**[04:07] Kat**
You're fired!
**[04:12] Mat**
I see. So it ended in failure.
**[04:15] Mat**
Don't worry about it.
We'll have plenty more chances.
**[04:20] Mat**
Well, there you have it.
**[04:22] Shin**
Uh, were you just orchestrating an
assassination of the prime minister?
**[04:25] Mat**
What kind of moron entrusts the
country to an ex-terrorist?
**[04:29] Shin**
But don't you kind of owe him your life?
**[04:32] Shin**
Back when you were imprisoned
on Kokujo Island...
**[04:35] (Flashback) Kat**
I hope you understand what
this means, Matsudaira.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Kat**
What I'm trying to open here
is the door to a new era.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Kat**
If we escape this island and eventually
reach a stage where we rebuild the nation...
**[04:50] (Flashback) Mat**
Okay, okay. I'll talk you up to the bakufu
or the new government or whatever.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Mat**
If we're still alive.
*Only* if we're still alive.
**[05:01] Mat**
I was sure he'd die at some point.
**[05:05] Shin**
Wait, you're the one who brought that
monster prime minister into power?!
**[05:08] Shin**
It's basically your fault the
Shinsengumi was dismantled!
**[05:12] Mat**
On that note...
**[05:14] Mat**
Have you ever killed a man?
**[05:17] Shin**
Like hell I'd do it!
**[05:18] Shin**
What the hell are you trying
to make me an accomplice in?!
**[05:21] Mat**
You only have two options:
***SIGN*** Kill
**[05:23] Mat**
Kill, or take a life.
***SIGN*** Take a life
**[05:25] Shin**
They're both murder!
**[05:27] Soy**
Katakuriko, that's enough.
**[05:31] Soy**
I see he still remembers.
**[05:35] Soy**
"Our kings still live on," huh?
**[05:40] Soy**
Right.
**[05:41] Soy**
I'm sure he'll build a wonderful country.
**[05:45] Soy**
Just you watch.
**[05:51] Sak**
*I see. Zura's the prime minister?*
**[05:54] Sak**
* Looks like Edo's goin' ta become*
* an even more fun place now!*
**[05:58] Shin**
It's no laughing matter, Sakamoto-san.
**[06:01] Tam**
I'll add this to my data:
**[06:03] Tam**
"Shinpachi-sama quit Odd Jobs
**[06:06] Tam**
and switched to being an assassin."
**[06:07] Shin**
Quit saying such disturbing things!
**[06:09] Shin**
I'll dismantle you!
**[06:10] Tam**
But you already took the money
and came to the meeting place.
**[06:15] Shin**
I-I'm here to stop them, obviously!
**[06:17] (Flashback) Mat**
The princess is saying that,
but I've already made preparations.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Mat**
I arranged for a dangerous weapon
and a first-rate assassin.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Mat**
Go to the pier, receive the weapon
from the black market dealer,
**[06:28] (Flashback) Mat**
and meet up with the rest of the team.
**[06:30] Shin**
Help me out here, Sakamoto-san!
**[06:33] Shin**
You're the only one who can stop Katsura-san!
**[06:36] Sak**
Unfortunately, I'm a bit occupied right now.
**[06:40] Sak**
I'm on this ship called Espoir,
**[06:43] Sak**
walkin' across an iron beam
to try to win a fortune.
**[06:46] Shin**
*So you're bankrupt?!*
**[06:48] Sak**
Help me out here, Shinpachi-kun.
**[06:50] Sak**
You're the only one who can save me...
**[06:53] Shin**
*I'm the one calling for help!*
**[06:55] Sak**
Fine. I'll send some help your way.
**[06:59] Sak**
I'm pretty sure Mutsu is
on Earth for some wor—
**[07:05] Tam**
I'll add this to my data:
**[07:07] Tam**
Kaientai Captain Sakamoto Tatsuma, dead.
**[07:10] Shin**
Don't jinx him!
**[07:12] BMD**
Hey.
**[07:14] BMD**
You the recipient for the goods?
**[07:19] Shin**
*The dealer?*
**[07:20] Shin**
N-No, I'm...
**[07:21] Tam**
Yes. From murder to arms smuggling,
Odd Jobs will do everything.
**[07:25] Shin**
Hey!
**[07:26] Tam**
Did I say something wrong?
**[07:29] Shin**
I told you, I'm here to stop the plot!
**[07:29] BMD**
Boss, they're arguing about something.
**[07:31] Mut**
Doesn't matter.
**[07:32] Mut**
Just hand over the goods and grab the money.
**[07:35] Mut**
That's what we do as black market dealers.
**[07:38] Shin**
It was you?!
**[07:42] Shin**
How can this be?
**[07:44] Shin**
I never dreamed you'd be a
black market dealer, Mutsu-san.
**[07:46] Mut**
In the battle two years ago,
**[07:48] Mut**
we Kaientai lost most of our ships.
**[07:53] Mut**
That moron tried to recover those losses
**[07:55] Mut**
by investing the money we
had left in cryptocurrency.
**[07:59] Mut**
As you'd expect, he lost it
all and left us flat broke.
**[08:03] Mut**
To bring the Kaientai back, we all
decided to raise funds separately.
**[08:07] Shin**
Forget it! He's never coming back from that!
**[08:11] Mut**
I've gone back to my roots and am
dabbling in some rather gray trade.
**[08:16] Shin**
You have the skull and crossbones
right on your cape, though!
**[08:18] Shin**
What you're doing is nearly pitch-black!
**[08:23] Mut**
Take it and go.
**[08:24] Mut**
We got our hands on the
ultimate weapon as ordered.
**[08:29] Shin**
Wh-What is this?
**[08:36] ???**
Don't show me something so
disgusting as soon as I wake up.
**[08:42] Mut**
As far as I know, this
is the ultimate weapon.
**[08:46] Mut**
Member of the universe's mightiest warrior
race, daughter of its best alien hunter,
**[08:51] Mut**
and also the kid sister of
its most notorious pirate,
**[08:54] Mut**
Kagura...
**[08:56] ???**
Huh... So this is Earth, Mommy's other home?
**[09:02] Mut**
Kagura's daughter,
**[09:05] Mut**
Kanna.
**[09:08] Shin**
The Final Fantasy Phenomenon is still going?!
**[10:07] Gin**
That's weird.
**[10:09] Gin**
I don't remember there
being a grave out here.
**[10:13] Gin**
And I don't remember it being a place where
weird ghosts appeared in broad daylight.
**[10:19] Tak**
Unfortunately, I went and made a promise
**[10:24] Tak**
that I'd bring him back here for sure.
**[10:27] Gin**
Then hurry up and pass on.
**[10:29] Gin**
You finished what you came for, right?
**[10:33] Tak**
Finished?
**[10:42] Tak**
Only a specter can grab
another specter's hand.
**[10:47] Tak**
Would you like to hop over to this side, too?
**[10:52] Gin**
Takasugi, you...
**[10:56] G**
You must be Takasugi
Shinsuke, the wanted man!
**[10:58] G**
Quietly turn yourself in!
**[11:04] Gin**
Takasugi!
**[11:08] G**
Are you Takasugi's friend?
**[11:10] Gin**
Is that what it looked like?
**[11:15] Hij**
Leave it at that.
**[11:18] Hij**
It's been a while since we've
caught such promising prey.
**[11:22] Hij**
I'm getting excited.
**[11:26] Hij**
The savior of Earth, meeting up with
an old buddy and plotting evil?
**[11:28] Sign**
Questioning
**[11:31] Gin**
Listen to me!
**[11:32] Gin**
I told you, we were just
conspiring to destroy Earth!
**[11:37] Hij**
You're supposed to make some excuse!
**[11:39] Hij**
You should be trying to
prove your innocence here!
**[11:41] Hij**
Like you'd have the balls
to destroy Earth, anyway!
**[11:44] Gin**
If you know that, then
don't ask me to begin with!
**[11:47] Hij**
Again, come up with some excuse!
**[11:49] Gin**
Let's make it quick.
**[11:50] Gin**
I can't be bothered making excuses anymore.
**[11:53] Gin**
I bet you'll take your demotion out on
me by torturing and then executing me.
**[11:57] Hij**
Who got demoted?
**[11:59] Gin**
Then why're you doing this
out here in the boonies?
**[12:03] Gin**
Well, if you don't wanna talk, that's fine.
**[12:06] Gin**
We have all the time in the world.
**[12:08] Gin**
Hey, get us two katsudons.
**[12:11] Gin**
One covered in mayonnaise.
**[12:13] ???**
Roger.
**[12:14] Hij**
Why are you making it look like
I'm the one being questioned?
**[12:17] Gin**
If you wanna make someone talk,
you've gotta first spill it all yourself.
**[12:21] Gin**
Give me everything you've got, Toshi.
**[12:23] Hij**
Who do you think you are? What's
with that stern-yet-caring gaze?!
**[12:31] Hij**
The Shinsengumi have just split
up temporarily for reasons.
**[12:36] Gin**
Oh, really?
**[12:41] Hij**
After abandoning Edo and Odd Jobs
and disappearing for two years,
**[12:45] Hij**
I was wondering how you
could face yourself in life,
**[12:50] Hij**
but this is just stupid.
**[12:51] Hij**
It's the same old stupid face
I'd grown tired of seeing.
**[12:56] Hij**
Did you know?
**[12:58] Hij**
On that day two years ago,
**[13:00] Hij**
Takasugi's group wasn't the only one
that vanished from the Heavenly Bird.
**[13:03] Hij**
There was one other entity.
**[13:06] Hij**
The Tendoshu.
**[13:09] Hij**
At a glance, they were just lumps of meat,
**[13:11] Hij**
but it seems Utsuro's blood
still remained within them.
**[13:17] Hij**
And lately, out in space,
**[13:20] Hij**
there've been frequent terrorist attacks
in countries that nationalized Altana.
**[13:24] Hij**
Rumors are spreading that
the Tendoshu have revived
**[13:28] Hij**
and have returned to take back
the Altana they lost.
**[13:31] Gin**
And you're saying he was behind it all?
**[13:34] Hij**
No, I can't say anything for sure.
**[13:37] Gin**
He covered his hands in blood to overturn
the world the Tendoshu and Utsuro created.
**[13:43] Hij**
But...
**[13:45] Hij**
He was never picky about the
means to his ends, either, was he?
**[13:50] Hij**
What if, just like you did when you
cast aside Odd Jobs and left,
**[13:53] Hij**
he had something he had to do, too?
**[13:57] Gin**
It's not like I had some big reason.
**[14:01] ???**
If you don't talk, we'll be forced
to arrest you as a prime suspect.
**[14:07] ???**
Is that what you want?
**[14:08] Gin**
It'd be a great help, getting
a place to sleep for free.
**[14:11] ???**
Hijikata-san,
**[14:12] ???**
it seems that further questioning
would be a waste of time.
**[14:15] Hij**
Yeah.
**[14:17] Hij**
But first, there's something I want to ask.
**[14:21] Hij**
Who are you?
**[14:24] Hij**
You joined in like it was
nothing, but who are you?
**[14:27] ???**
Just a mob character.
**[14:29] Hij**
But you stand out too much for that.
**[14:31] Hij**
Could you be Robo—
**[14:32] ???**
I'm Mobcop.
**[14:33] Hij**
What the hell is a Mobcop?
**[14:34] Mob**
Pardon the late introduction.
**[14:36] Mob**
I'm actually Metal Constable 001,
introduced by the new government.
**[14:41] Mob**
Today is my first day on the job.
**[14:43] Hij**
Look, you stand out too
much for a mob character!
**[14:46] Hij**
Could you shut up? You're
distracting from the topic.
**[14:49] Mob**
Oh, I'm sorry. I got too worked up.
**[14:54] Hij**
Odd Jobs, you're free
to keep your mouth shut,
**[14:58] Hij**
but there's a chance you could
hurt Edo with that choice.
**[15:03] Hij**
Is that okay with you?
**[15:05] Hij**
Is that all Edo means to you these days?
**[15:10] Hij**
Or what is it?
**[15:12] Hij**
Do you believe...
**[15:15] Hij**
Too distracting!
**[15:17] Hij**
What have you been dropping over there?!
**[15:20] Mob**
I was just making katsudon.
**[15:21] Hij**
Where the hell are you
dumping the cutlets from?!
**[15:24] Mob**
I'm sorry. I'll spew out some
mayonnaise right away, too.
**[15:26] Hij**
Don't want it!
**[15:27] Hij**
And why's more than half your
body made up of cooking tools?!
**[15:31] Hij**
I'm telling you, you stand out too much!
**[15:32] Hij**
Nobody can focus with you in the frame!
**[15:35] Hij**
If you're a mob character, act like one!
**[15:37] Mob**
How about just letting me handle
this investigation, then?
**[15:41] Hij**
Huh?
**[15:42] Mob**
I've been coded with a wealth of knowledge
amassed by the police over time.
**[15:46] Mob**
Winning over a man like him
would be a piece of cake for me.
**[15:49] Hij**
That's some big talk, little man.
**[15:52] Mob**
Hey, you!
**[15:53] Mob**
Think about your mum back home!
**[15:56] Hij**
That's too cliched.
**[15:58] Hij**
Like you could win over this
punk with such sentimental crap.
**[16:01] Mob**
Do you want to make your mum sad?
**[16:05] Mob**
If I use the weapon I've been equipped with,
**[16:08] Mob**
your mum and the three-kilometer area
around her will be reduced to embers.
**[16:11] Hij**
I didn't see that threat coming!
**[16:13] Gun**
I hate to break it to ya, but I don't
even know if I still have a mum.
**[16:17] Gun**
What about you, though?
**[16:18] Gun**
How could you turn the body your parents
gave you into something so metallic?
**[16:22] Gun**
They must be so sad.
**[16:25] Mob**
Don't be silly.
**[16:26] Mob**
There isn't anyone who would
be saddened over this Mobcop.
**[16:30] Mob**
*Is that really true, though?*
**[16:32] Mob**
* I have no memories of my*
* life before my remodeling.*
**[16:35] Hij**
Hey! Why's a mob character
entering a flashback?!
**[16:38] Mob**
*But from what I've heard,*
**[16:40] Mob**
* I got into an accident and*
* was in critical condition*
**[16:42] Mob**
* when I offered my body up as*
* a test subject for Mobcop.*
**[16:46] Hij**
Nobody cares about you!
**[16:49] Mob**
*Was there nobody saddened by that?*
**[16:54] Mob**
No, wait. The fact that nobody's
looking for me tells the whole story.
**[16:59] Mob**
I've been forgotten by one and all.
**[17:02] Mob**
And I forgot everything so
I wouldn't remember that!
**[17:06] Hij**
What's the point of you spilling your guts?
**[17:09] Gin**
Someone who didn't have anybody to
sadden would never shed those things.
**[17:14] Gin**
Even if your memories are gone,
your body still remembers
**[17:18] Gin**
that you once had people dear to you,
people you would shed tears over.
**[17:23] Gin**
They just haven't recognized
you in your changed state.
**[17:28] Gin**
If you put your name out there,
they'll surely come running to you.
**[17:32] Mob**
R-Really?
**[17:33] Hij**
Hey, who are we questioning here?
**[17:36] Gin**
Yeah.
**[17:37] Gin**
So don't fear. Remember.
**[17:39] Gin**
Who are you?
**[17:41] Gin**
Were you plotting evil with Takasugi?
**[17:44] Hij**
Don't try to frame him for your crimes!
**[17:50] Mob**
I think I'm starting to remember!
It's at the tip of my helmet!
**[17:55] Mob**
My ID! Where's my ID?!
**[17:57] Gin**
Your ID?
**[17:58] Mob**
The only lead to my past life!
**[18:00] Mob**
My police ID still had my photo...
**[18:09] Hij**
Oh...
**[18:09] Gin**
Oh...
**[18:13] Hij**
I forgot about him.
**[18:13] Gin**
I forgot about him.
**[18:14] Ymz**
Are you kidding me?!
**[18:18] Ymz**
I remember now.
**[18:22] Ymz**
Thanks to you guys forgetting about
me, I've got this cool body now!
**[18:27] Ymz**
And my real body is being treated, put up
for display in briefs that have skid marks!
**[18:35] Gin**
Wait, hold up! We didn't forget you!
**[18:39] Gin**
We've just been busy since then,
**[18:41] Gin**
so we forgot—er, put you
on the back burner for a bit!
**[18:45] Hij**
We remembered him, right?
**[18:46] Gin**
Totally remembered him!
**[18:47] Gin**
I'm so glad to see you're
doing well, uh, er...
**[18:53] Gin**
Shibasaki-kun?
**[18:54] Ymz**
So you did forget!
**[19:00] Hij**
Why, you little!
**[19:03] Gin**
You guys are still the same, too.
**[19:08] Gin**
What about them?
**[19:10] Gin**
Are the Odd Jobs guys doing all right?
**[19:14] Hij**
Go see for yourself!
**[19:21] G**
After him!
**[19:24] Hij**
That moron!
**[19:30] Mut**
Well, it's in your hands now.
**[19:33] Tam**
Shinpachi-sama.
**[19:35] Tam**
Shinpachi-sama?
**[19:36] Tam**
Shinpachi-sama!
**[19:38] Kan**
Hey, what're you doing?
**[19:40] Kan**
I wanna hurry up and explore Edo, 'kay?
**[19:42] Kan**
Can I go on ahead?
**[19:44] Tam**
I'm sorry. Something's
wrong with Shinpachi-sama.
**[19:47] Tam**
Hey!
**[19:48] Kan**
That probably won't help.
**[19:51] Kan**
He dropped this earlier.
**[19:54] Kan**
Mommy told me that there are creatures on
Earth whose glasses are their real body.
**[20:00] Shin**
Wait, who the hell is your mommy?!
**[20:04] Kan**
See?
**[20:05] Shin**
Th-That was close!
**[20:07] Shin**
My heart and straight man
routine had stopped.
**[20:10] Shin**
Wh-What's going on?
**[20:11] Shin**
Kagura-chan's daughter?
**[20:13] Shin**
Th-That can't be.
**[20:14] Shin**
You won't trick me anymore, Final Fantasy!
**[20:17] Kan**
You're Pachi-boy, Mommy's lackey, right?
**[20:20] Shin**
Who're you calling a lackey?!
**[20:22] Kan**
I've heard all about it.
**[20:23] Kan**
About how there are a bunch of base
lifeforms on Earth that I've never seen.
**[20:28] Shin**
So all you heard was bitching?!
**[20:29] Shin**
J-Just drop it already!
**[20:31] Shin**
There's no way you can be Kagura-chan's kid!
**[20:33] Shin**
She was only 14 back then!
**[20:35] Shin**
Even now, she's only 16!
**[20:37] Shin**
Sh-She'd never do something so dirty!
**[20:40] Shin**
Neither I nor *Jump* will ever accept it!
**[20:42] Kan**
Dirty? Is having a kid a dirty thing?
**[20:45] Kan**
What about it is dirty?
**[20:47] Shin**
Well, uh... Please stop looking
at me with stars in your eyes.
**[20:52] Shin**
Wh-Who's your father, then?
**[20:54] Kan**
A banana.
**[20:56] Shin**
That's not what I meant.
**[20:58] Shin**
Um, whose banana?
**[21:03] Kan**
When she ate too many bananas and
puked, I came out, apparently.
**[21:07] Shin**
She gave birth like King Piccolo?!
**[21:09] Shin**
Is that how it goes for Yato?!
**[21:11] Kan**
Nah, she said it was a technique
she was taught on some planet.
**[21:15] Kan**
Apparently, it's more like
cloning than giving birth.
**[21:17] Shin**
That's not the kind of move
a heroine should learn!
**[21:22] Shin**
Then you are...
**[21:25] Shin**
Has Kagura-chan been well?
**[21:27] Shin**
And Sadaharu?
**[21:29] ???**
What's this?
**[21:32] ???**
I asked for a weapon to kill
the prime minister with,
**[21:36] ???**
not something else for me to kill.
**[21:37] Shin**
That's...
**[21:39] (Flashback) Mat**
I arranged for a first-rate assassin.
**[21:46] ???**
Hey.
**[21:49] ???**
I'll let you guys check the
contents of those boxes.
**[21:53] ???**
Leave this to me.
**[22:01] ???**
You can't tell if a weapon's
any good until you use it.
**[22:05] ???**
Show me...
**[22:07] ???**
what you've done these
past two years, Odd Jobs!
