**[00:09] Hij**
Damn, I totally lost them.
**[00:13] Hij**
Hey, Yamazaki. Get your ass here, now.
**[00:16] Hij**
I'll give you the exact location later.
**[00:20] Sei**
Looking for something, sir?
**[00:22] Sei**
If it's cute girls you want,
I know just the place.
**[00:27] Hij**
I'm looking for a woman with an
eyepatch, one with a facial scar,
**[00:30] Hij**
a perverted ninja, and a female gorilla.

Give it up, sir.
**[00:36] Sei**
Ain't an ordinary man in this world
who can handle those crazies.
**[00:38] Sei**
You won't even have butt hair
when they're done with you.
**[00:41] Hij**
That sounds terrifying.
**[00:43] Hij**
And you're working in such a terrifying town.
**[00:47] Hij**
How old are you, kid?

Th-The hell?!

Have some common sense!
**[00:53] Sei**
I bet you're not popular with the ladies—
**[00:55] Sei**
Ow!
**[00:56] Hin**
What are you yelping about?
**[00:58] Hin**
Good grief.
**[01:01] Hin**
You're the one ruining this place's
reputation with a lack of common sense, Seita.
**[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?*
**[08:37] Gin**
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.
**[09:01] Gin**
I am naught.
***SIGN*** I am naught.
**[09:03] Gin**
I am empty.
***SIGN*** I am empty.
**[09:05] Gin**
Boobs art two.
***SIGN*** Boobs art two.
**[09:06] Kyu**
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.
***SIGN*** Tae doth be naught
**[09:30] Gin**
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.
**[09:59] Tae**
Tsukuyo-san?
**[10:06] Gin**
Why?
***SIGN*** Why?
***SIGN*** Why go so far...
**[10:07] Gin**
Why go so far...
**[10:10] Gin**
Courtesan of Boobs?
***SIGN*** Courtesan of Boobs?
**[10:11] Tsu**
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 K*ntucky!
**[11:45] Kyu**
Do you want to be thrown in a pot and fried?!
**[11:48] Tae**
Wait... Where have I seen this C*lonel 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!
