    What are you yelping about?
[00:58] Hin
    Good grief.
[01:01] Hin
    You're the one ruining this place's

[01:06] Sei
    Mom...
[01:08] Sac
    The Shangri-La of Yoshiwara is now a
    government-recognized tourist spot, huh?
[01:13] Tsu
    Two years ago, this place sheltered
    civilians from the flames of war.
[01:18] Tsu
    I suppose that paid off.
[01:20] Sac
    But even in broad daylight,
[01:22] Sac
    the relationship between men and
    women ain't all that different.
[01:27] Sac
    Day or night,
[01:30] Sac
    the Hyakka will always be
    the champions of women.
[01:33] Hin
    There you have it.
[01:34] Hin
    The one running this town now
[01:36] Hin
    is the former Courtesan of Death
    turned Courtesan of the Sun, Tsukuyo.
[01:41] Hin
    Make sure you never disrespect
    women where her scar can see it.
[01:47] Hin
    You'll be whisked away to a
    world with no day or night.

[03:40] Tsu
    An enemy to women is an enemy to Yoshiwara.
[03:43] Tsu
    Let me teach that guy a lesson.
[03:45] Tae
    Aren't you glad, Kyu-chan?
[03:48] Tae
    She says she'll get revenge for your panties.
[03:50] Sac
    What? Those were your panties?
[03:52] Sac
    I thought you'd be wearing
    a loincloth or something,
[03:55] Sac
    but your underwear is actually normal, huh?
[03:56] Tae
    Anyway, it's good that there
    are no stains or anything.
[04:00] Tae
    It's truly important to change
    your underwear every day.
[04:03] Sac
    Huh? Do I see some hair over there?
[04:06] Tae
    Nah, that's the hair on
    his head sticking out.
[04:10] Sac
    Huh? But I see a red stain there...
[04:12] Tae
    That's from when we beat him up.
[04:14] Kyu
    How long are you gonna keep wearing
    that, anyway? Give it back!
[04:19] Kyu
    Not the diapers!
[04:21] Tae
    He's grown completely defiant.
[04:23] Tae
    Takasugi, was it?
[04:25] Tae
    I hear he used to have a final-boss
    aura whenever he appeared.
[04:29] Sac
    A real shocker, right?
[04:30] Sac
    What happened to him?
[04:32] Sac
    Where did he go wrong?
[04:34] Tae
    Must've been when he put
    those panties on his head.
[04:37] Tae
    There are lines even villains can't cross.
[04:40] Sac
    Of course you'd be demoted from final
    boss if you wore panties on your head.
[04:43] Tae
    No, maybe he wore them because
    he was demoted from final boss.
[04:48] Sac
    I just happened to be having a
    hard time with him, actually.
[04:51] Sac
    I believe he came to Edo with Gin-san.
[04:56] Sac
    But he just wouldn't talk.
[04:58] Sac
    I hope you can get him to spill where
    Gin-san is while you teach him a lesson.
[05:03] Kyu
    Gintoki's back in Edo?
[05:04] Tae
    Why won't he come see us, then?
[05:07] Sac
    I don't know. Maybe he has his reasons.
[05:10] Hij
    It's because he's over there
    with panties on his head.
[05:14] Hij
    Shinsfake's got his back to the wall now.
[05:17] Gin
    Stupid broads. It's pointless
    trying to embarrass me.
[05:22] Sac
    Uh, I'd say you're just
    embarrassing yourself here.
[05:25] Gin
    Because I'm both Takasugi
    and not at the same time.
[05:30] Gin
    In other words, no matter how much
    you humiliate Takasugi Shinsuke,
[05:33] Gin
    it won't hurt me at all...
[05:35] Gin
    Hey, wait! Hear me out!
[05:39] Gin
    C-Come on! That hurts, damn it!
[05:41] H
    So it does hurt you after all?
[05:43] Gin
    That's not it! I meant it
    wouldn't hurt me mentally!
[05:46] Tae
    Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
[05:49] Sac
    You keep spouting delusional
    lines without backing them up.
[05:52] Sac
    That's why you were demoted from final boss.
[05:54] Gin
    That's going too far! Apologize to Takasugi!
[05:56] Hij
    No, you apologize.
[05:57] Gin
    Fine! Bring on the torture or whatever!
[06:01] Gin
    Just know that it'll make you
    bigger disgraces than me!
[06:06] Gin
    Worse than a terrorist in diapers with
    panties on his head! Serves you right!
[06:09] Gin
    What's wrong?
[06:10] Gin
    Don't tell me you hung me up here without
    being prepared to follow through.
[06:14] Tsu
    Sorry, but Yoshiwara
    ain't a place of torture.
[06:18] Tsu
    This is a red-light district.
[06:20] Tsu
    We entertain men here, not make them suffer.
[06:28] Gin
    You liar! This is water torture!
[06:30] Tsu
    That ain't water.
[06:34] Gin
    L-Lotion?
[06:37] Gin
    Tallgeese!
[06:42] W
    Welcome!
[06:45] Tsu
    Ladies of Yoshiwara, we
    have a bigshot guest today.
[06:49] Tsu
    Use your skills and experience
    to give him the warmest welcome.
[06:54] Gin
    H-Hey, wait! What's all this?
[06:56] W
    Hello there, handsome!
[06:59] Gin
    Hey, Gran! Where are you touching?!
[07:01] Gin
    Stop it! Gross!
[07:02] Gin
    Oh... Wait... Not there!
[07:06] Sac
    Huh? What's going on here, Tsukky?
[07:08] Tsu
    This is how Yoshiwara does things now.
[07:11] Tsu
    Demons of lust are made to drown in women.
[07:16] W
    Welcome!
[07:18] W
    Welcome back, Master!
[07:22] Tsu
    And what lies beyond that lust...
[07:25] Tae
    Oh, he's back.
[07:32] Gin
    What's sexy about boobs, anyway?
[07:35] Gin
    Why are there two of them?
[07:37] Tae
    He's a sage now.
[07:38] Gin
    Hmm? What's this cloth doing here?
[07:41] Gin
    Get it off.
[07:42] Kyu
    How could you?!
[07:43] Tae
    Freed from his worldly desires,
    he's at the gates of enlightenment.
[07:47] Tsu
    Hey, has some of your evil been washed away?
[07:49] Tsu
    Then answer me.
[07:51] Tsu
    Is it true that you were
    traveling with Gintoki?
[07:55] Gin
    As I am now, both that and boobs
    come across as pair of trifling matters.
[08:01] Gin
    Speaking of which, why
    do boobs come in pairs?
[08:04] Sac
    Our sage has lost interest in everything.
[08:07] Sac
    And why does he keep talking about boobs?
[08:09] Tae
    Let's make him take another
    lap and forget about boobs.
[08:12] Kyu
    Wait. Two laps, one for each boob.
[08:20] Hij
    Uh, the enlightened one is screaming.
[08:23] Sac
    Three laps around hell will
    surely make him a better man.
[08:26] Tsu
    Don't call it hell, Sarutobi!
[08:28] Tae
    Oh, he's back from his pilgrimage.
[08:30] Tsu
    Don't call it a pilgrimage, Otae!
[08:36] Tae
    God?

    I am naught.
SIGN    I am naught.
[08:39] Gin
    I am empty.
SIGN    I am empty.
[08:40] Sac
    Uh, I think we went way too far.
[08:43] Tae
    A lap for each boob was too much for him.
[08:45] Tae
    We should've left one boob.
[08:48] Gin
    I hath no interest in boobs.
SIGN    I hath no interest in boobs.
[08:51] Tae
    See?
[08:52] Kyu
    You know, he still seems
    to be hung up on boobs.
[08:55] Tsu
    Hey, is Gintoki...
[08:57] Gin
    All is vanity. All is vanity.
SIGN    All is vanity.
SIGN    All is vanity.
[08:59] Tsu
    Nope. We're not getting anything out of him.

    Look, his head's filled
    with nothing but boobs!
[09:08] Sac
    Oh, well.
[09:10] Sac
    Let's stimulate his lust
    and turn him back a little.
[09:13] Sac
    Tsukky, take the grannies' place in
    there and let him fondle your boobs.
[09:18] Tsu
    Why me?!
[09:19] Sac
    Well, I can't do it. I'm
    getting married to Gin-san.
[09:22] Sac
    And Kyubei-san can't handle
    being touched by a man.
[09:25] Tae
    Sarutobi-san, why was I not considered?
[09:29] Gin
    Tae doth be naught.

    Boobs art zero.
SIGN    Boobs art
SIGN    zero.
[09:32] Tae
    Hey! What happened to "boobs art two"?
[09:34] Tae
    What do you mean, "zero"?!
[09:36] Tae
    Now I'm mad. I'm gonna go.
[09:38] Kyu
    Wait, Tae-chan!
[09:39] Tae
    Don't stop me. I have my
    pride as a woman, too.
[09:42] Kyu
    That's not it.
[09:44] Kyu
    Okay, I'm on standby.
[09:45] Sac
    How would you fondling her help?
[09:48] Sac
    Kyubei-san...
[09:49] Sac
    You said you were ready for arranged
    marriage, but you haven't changed at all.
[09:52] Kyu
    But I can't let that pervert defile Tae-chan!
[09:55] Tsu
    Okay, fine.
[09:56] Tsu
    You're right. This is a job for me.

    Why?

    Who're you calling Courtesan of Boobs?!
[10:15] (Flashback) Hin
    You're such a fool, really.
[10:20] (Flashback) Hin
    You could've gone after him, you know?
[10:24] (Flashback) Tsu
    Hinowa.
[10:26] (Flashback) Tsu
    Once Yoshiwara sees the light of day,
    it will gradually turn into a normal town.
[10:32] (Flashback) Tsu
    That may be a joyous occasion,
[10:36] (Flashback) Tsu
    but I'd be a little sad...
[10:38] (Flashback) Tsu
    Living life watching the things
    I know change and go away.
[10:43] (Flashback) Tsu
    Leaving the people I was meant to see
    the future with and walking on alone.
[10:49] (Flashback) Tsu
    But that's exactly why I
    have to see it all through.
[10:53] (Flashback) Tsu
    See how those things end,
    and what they give birth to.
[10:58] Tsu
    And one day, when he does come back to us,
[11:02] Tsu
    I want to tell him all about it.
[11:05] Tsu
    That way, he can walk with us again.
[11:11] Tsu
    So please tell me.
[11:13] Tsu
    Where is he now? What
    does he have his eyes on?
[11:17] Tsu
    Is it the past, or is it the future?
[11:24] Tae
    He started a lap by himself.
[11:27] Sac
    Did she get through to him?
[11:29] Sac
    Maybe he went to get himself
    ready for spilling the beans.
[11:33] Tsu
    Oh.
[11:34] Tsu
    He's... back?
[11:40] Tae
    What kind of enlightenment is this?!
[11:42] Sac
    He just passed through
    the gates of Kntucky!
[11:45] Kyu
    Do you want to be thrown in a pot and fried?!
[11:48] Tae
    Wait... Where have I seen this Clonel before?
[11:52] Hij
    You moron!
[11:54] Hij
    I told you to keep watch! Where'd he go?!
[11:57] Kyu
    Huh?
[11:57] Tae
    It's you!
[11:59] Ymz
    I'm sorry, Hijikata-san.
[12:01] Ymz
    I was pretending to be a statue
    and keeping watch over there,
[12:07] Ymz
    but he ran away.
[12:11] Gin
    That was close!
[12:12] Gin
    I was about to attain enlightenment
    and tell them everything!
[12:20] (Flashback) Tae
    But I would've wanted him to see it.
[12:23] (Flashback) Tae
    You in a wedding dress...
[12:27] (Flashback) Sac
    I will not let you have Sakata Gintoki.
[12:30] (Flashback) Sac
    This is his home.
[12:34] (Flashback) Tsu
    That way, he can walk with us again.
[12:42] Gin
    Damn it all...
[12:45] Gin
    What the hell am I doing?
[12:50] W
    Odd Jobs.
[12:52] W
    Thank you so very much.
[12:56] W
    Goodbye, then.
[13:11] Gin
    Shinpa...
[13:26] Shin
    Hold it!
[13:28] Shin
    I don't know what's going on, but ganging
    up on someone isn't a good look.
[13:34] Shin
    More than anything, I won't stand
    for you sullying these streets
[13:39] Shin
    with your violence.
[13:41] Gin
    Cut!
[13:44] Gin
    Okay, we're out of time. Wrap it up.
[13:48] Gin
    Let's move on to the next segment!
[13:50] Shin
    Wait...
[13:51] Shin
    That was a really great
    scene in the manga, too!
[13:52] Gin
    Okay, so on that note...
[13:53] Gin
    We know the show's still only halfway
    through, but change of plans.
[13:55] Shin
    Huh? The next segment?
[13:57] Shin
    What do you mean, the next segment?
[13:57] Gin
    After this, the Gintama anime
    will air an emergency special.
[13:59] Shin
    What the hell's going on?!
[14:00] Gin
    But first, some ads.
[14:09] Someone
    What? It was such a nice scene, too.
[14:13] Gin
    Order!
[14:14] Gin
    Order in the court!
[14:16] Gin
    Court is now in session for the trial.
[14:19] Shin
    Wait a second, Gin-san!
[14:20] Shin
    What's all this? What are you trying to do?!
[14:23] Gin
    Shinpachi-kun, stop making a fuss in the
    courtroom. I'll cut your screen time.
[14:27] Shin
    You just did earlier!
[14:29] Kag
    At least you got some time!
[14:32] Shin
    Kagura-chan?
[14:33] Kag
    I didn't even get to show up!
    What're you gonna do about this?!
[14:36] Shin
    That's right!
[14:38] Shin
    And what trial? What have we done wrong?!
[14:41] Gin
    That's what we're trying to clear up here.
SIGN    Gintama Ending Scam Trial
[14:45] Gin
    So let's begin the Gintama Ending Scam Trial.
[14:49] Shin
    Gintama Ending Scam Trial?!
[14:51] Gin
    Some of you watching at home may have
    noticed from the program guide already.
[14:58] Gin
    This is the Gintama anime's...
[15:00] Gin
    last episode.
[15:04] Ymz
    What? It's ending today?
[15:06] Hij
    Seriously? That's so abrupt!
[15:09] Gin
    Order!
[15:10] Gin
    You're exactly right.
[15:13] Gin
    If the viewers went, "What
    are the anime staff doing?
[15:17] Gin
    You're supposed to figure out the perfect
    length. Are you messing with us?
[15:20] Gin
    You need to read the manga,
    calculate the right pacing,
[15:22] Gin
    use appropriate cliffhangers to
    stretch the plot across weeks,
[15:25] Gin
    get the manuscripts from the
    editor before Jump's release day,
[15:29] Gin
    and work on the series structure,"
[15:31] Gin
    that harsh criticism would be well-deserved.
[15:35] Shin
    Uh, the common viewer
    wouldn't know that much.
[15:37] Gin
    But while this may sound like an excuse,
[15:41] Gin
    that's not it!
[15:42] Gin
    It's not like that!
[15:44] Shin
    Seriously, what's with you?
[15:46] Shin
    Who are you speaking for?
[15:47] Gin
    There's a very good reason the
    anime's ending so abruptly today!
[15:54] Gin
    To explain this, we must rewind
    the clock to three years ago.
[15:58] Shin
    That far back? This has been
    three years in the making?!
[16:03] Gin
    And here we have the third season of the
    anime, which began airing April 2015.
[16:09] Gin
    The series made its return around two
    years after the Final Chapter movie.
[16:13] Gin
    At this point, the manga side had
    already told the anime staff this:
[16:18] Gin
    "The manga will end soon."
[16:23] Sac
    W-Wait a second.
[16:25] Tsu
    Three whole years ago?
[16:27] Kyu
    You mean...
[16:28] Tae
    Season 3 started because
    the manga was ending?
[16:31] Gin
    Order in the court!
[16:34] Gin
    That's right, actually.
[16:36] Gin
    Season 3 was planned to be a year-long
    series that would end around
[16:40] Gin
    the same time as the manga.
[16:43] Gin
    In order to make that possible,
[16:45] Gin
    the anime staff reluctantly decided
    to skip a few small comedy arcs.
[16:50] Gin
    This was done to give Gintama the greatest
    finale possible and make the viewers happy.
[16:55] Gin
    It was a decision borne out of great passion!
[16:58] Shin
    Seriously, who are you talking for?
[16:59] Shin
    And why is it raining money?
    Can we really believe you?!
[17:03] Gin
    However!
[17:04] Gin
    Instead of ending, the manga
    made a shocking reveal
[17:07] Gin
    and expanded the story with
    several new developments.
[17:09] Shin
    Why'd you make it look like Ir°sutoya?!
[17:11] Gin
    And the anime ran out of time with
    the Shinsengumi saying farewell.
[17:16] Gin
    So on that note,
[17:17] Gin
    the Shinsengumi are found
    guilty for wasting episodes.
[17:20] Gin
    Hijikata Toshiro is sentenced to death.
[17:21] Hij
    Why?!
[17:22] Hij
    The Shinsengumi are victims in this, too!
[17:25] Hij
    And why am I the only one sentenced to death?
[17:27] Hij
    Wait... Hey!
[17:29] Gin
    After that, the anime producer ran around
    trying to procure an additional time slot,
[17:35] Gin
    but staying in the evening time
    slot proved next to impossible,
[17:38] Gin
    and the stress made him visit
    cabaret clubs more often,
[17:40] Gin
    leading to friction in his family.
[17:43] Shin
    What did this have to do with cabaret clubs?
[17:44] Gin
    Even in the midst of such chaos,
    we somehow raised funds
[17:48] Gin
    and cleverly moved to a late-night
    time slot to make a comeback!
[17:55] Gin
    And that was Season 4 here, which
    began with the Battle on Rakuyo.
[17:59] Gin
    We started working toward the
    finale, this time for sure.
[18:01] Gin
    However!
[18:03] Gin
    Rather than tying the loose ends,
    the story expanded to space
[18:06] Gin
    and showed off the stupid
    cue ball dad's love story.
[18:11] Gin
    So on that note,
[18:13] Gin
    the stupid cue ball is found guilty, too.
[18:14] Gin
    Death to his hair roots.
[18:15] UB
    N-No! Anything but my hair roots!
[18:18] Kag
    Uh, your hair roots have
    already been executed.
[18:21] Gin
    At this point, the anime staff decided
    to see what the manga was doing
[18:24] Gin
    and build up a buffer of material by
    switching strategies to buy time.
[18:28] Gin
    We used the hype surrounding the
    live-action movie announcement as cover,
SIGN    Yorinuke! Gintama-san
    Flashback Collection
[18:32] Gin
    bought time with some re-airs,
[18:35] Gin
    and aired new material using the
    short comedy arcs they'd skipped.
[18:39] Gin
    They were all stopgap measures
    we came up with on the fly,
[18:42] Gin
    but we made it seem very natural,
    like it'd been our plan all along.
[18:48] Shin
    No, you didn't! Adapting comedy arcs
    at that point felt really weird!
[18:53] Gin
    And around then,
SIGN    Manga Editor (at the time)
SIGN    Poison Mushroom Manabe
[18:54] Gin
    the manga's editor at the time, Poison
    Mushroom Manabe (Idol Otaku), told us this:
[19:00] Manabe
    The manga will end this time for sure.
[19:03] Gin
    The anime staff trusted his words,
[19:05] Gin
    and despite the tiny budget and the
    harsh schedule they had due to waiting,
[19:10] Gin
    they believed the third time's the charm
    and began adapting a new long arc.
[19:14] Gin
    And that's how it started...
[19:17] Gin
    The Silver Soul Arc, which was
    supposed to be the final long arc.
[19:21] Gin
    However! However!
[19:24] Gin
    The story didn't end at all!
[19:26] Gin
    While this season was one cours,
    we got the time slot for 14 episodes,
[19:30] Gin
    so some delay would still be okay,
[19:32] Gin
    or so we thought, but the story went
    way past that and still didn't end!
[19:35] Gin
    "We even made the perfect opening
    and ending for a finale.
[19:39] Gin
    What do we do now?
[19:40] Gin
    Is this really gonna end? Can it end?"
[19:43] Gin
    That's how we felt, and we
    expressed those feelings frankly.
SIGN    Pretended to go out for work but instead went to see a play where Nagasawa Masami wore a racy costume.
SIGN    Manabe
[19:46] Gin
    And then, Editor D*ck said...
[19:51] Manabe
    Uh, it doesn't look like
    it's ending soon at all.
[19:53] Gin
    Huh?
[19:54] Manabe
    Also, the manga's weekly
    serialization is going to stop soon.
[19:57] Gin
    Huh?
[19:58] Manabe
    Also, I won't be editing it anymore.
[20:01] Gin
    What?!
[20:03] Gin
    Instead of walking in step, one leg is
    disappearing just before the finish line?!
[20:08] Gin
    So on that note, Hasegawa
    Taizo is sentenced to death!
[20:10] Mad
    What? Me?! Where did that come from?!
[20:13] Gin
    For suddenly acting like Chief
    of Immigration while unemployed,
[20:16] Gin
    your gaudy outfit,
[20:18] Gin
    and pissing me off by cockily showing up in
    the live-action TV show and stage events.
[20:22] Kag
    That even got on my nerves.
[20:24] Shin
    No objections.
[20:25] Mad
    Why am I the only one getting this treatment?!
[20:29] Shin
    But Gin-san...
[20:30] Shin
    If what you said so far is true,
[20:32] Shin
    the one who really deserves punishment...
[20:34] Kag
    ...is him. It's gotta be him.
[20:37] Gin
    You did well to notice, Shinpachi, Kagura.
[20:40] Gin
    That's right. The real accused in
    this Gintama Ending Scam Trial...
[20:47] Gin
    is this man, the gorilla mangaka!
[20:50] Sor
    I wanna be a steamed cheese bun.
[20:53] Sor
    Defendant... Well, we more or less know
    you're getting sentenced to death,
[20:57] Sor
    but is there anything you'd like to say?
[20:59] Sor
    Now is your chance to apologize,
    you know. Defendant?
[21:04] Shin
    Ew! He pulled something out!
[21:06] Gin
    Oh, it's another of those things.
[21:08] Gin
    Kagura, you can forget your
    role again and read it out.
[21:17] Kugyuu
    "To all the anime viewers,
    and the anime staff.
[21:23] Kugyuu
    Due to my dirty tackle, I have caused
    you tons of trouble, and I'm so...
[21:30] Kugyuu
    Huh? It's not tackle?
[21:32] Kugyuu
    It's the other thing?
[21:34] Kugyuu
    The *******, then?
[21:36] Kugyuu
    Huh? That was actually a huge disaster?
[21:38] Kugyuu
    I shouldn't bring it up again?
[21:40] Kugyuu
    Oh, I know.
[21:41] Kugyuu
    The last letter, when I revealed that
    Fujita, the previous director, had divorced.
[21:45] Kugyuu
    He's actually mad about
    that? Is that really so bad?
[21:49] Kugyuu
    I mean, after his divorce, he's now cozying
    up with an instructor 10 years younger.
[21:54] Kugyuu
    What is he being instructed on?
[21:57] Kugyuu
    That's what I'd like to be instructed on.
[21:59] Kugyuu
    Huh? That's not it, either?
[22:01] Kugyuu
    What is it, then?
[22:02] Kugyuu
    I've been too sleepy to watch the anime
    since it moved to late nights, so I dunno.
[22:07] Kugyuu
    What part has it reached now?
[22:09] Kugyuu
    The part where Saito Hajime kills Usui of
    the Ten Swords with the Zero Style Gatotsu?
[22:14] Kugyuu
    That's my personal best bout,
[22:16] Kugyuu
    so I'd be perfectly happy
    if the anime ended there.
[22:19] Kugyuu
    I'm just so filled with
    satisfaction right now.
[22:22] Kugyuu
    I'm not thinking of my next work yet,
[22:25] Kugyuu
    but let's see...
[22:27] Kugyuu
    What if the Black Ships of the Bakumatsu
    were actually alien vessels,
[22:30] Kugyuu
    and the people in that world still grittily
    lived with smiles on their faces?
[22:35] Kugyuu
    That's the kind of story I'd like
    to write, or well, explore in full.
[22:39] Kugyuu
    If we have the chance, let's
    meet again in that next work.
[22:45] Kugyuu
    I've already come up with the title.
[22:47] Kugyuu
    It's a title that'd sound really vulgar
    when spelled slightly differently...
SIGN    Gintama Final: End of Sky
[22:51] Kugyuu
    Gintama Final: End of Sky."
[22:56] Gin
    I shall hereby hand down the verdict.
[22:57] Gin
    The gorilla mangaka is...
[23:01] Gin
    Not guilty!
[23:04] Kag
    What part of that letter
    merited pardoning him?!
[23:07] Shin
    This gorilla never actually
    apologized for anything!
[23:10] Gin
    Okay, pipe down.
[23:12] Gin
    What can ya do? If it's not
    ending, it's not ending.
[23:16] Gin
    So yeah, while it was a
    really sloppy last episode,
[23:21] Gin
    the Gintama Ending Scam Trial
    is over! Court is adjourned!
SIGN    Next Work Preview
SIGN    Gintama Final
SIGN    End of Sky
SIGN    In the Works!
[23:59] Shin
    Yeah, like hell! That's never happening!
SIGN    Thank you very much
SIGN    for being a part of this journey.
SIGN    If the manga's continuing in GIGA, what about the anime...?
[24:10] Sor
    Writing manga is such a pain in the ass!
