Instead, he counts Hijikata corpses.] SIGN    [Okita was awakened by Hijikata corpse number 4021. And was told he had a visitor...] SIGN    ["It's Often Difficult to Sleep When You're Engrossed With Counting Sheep"] [01:45] Kondo     I see, I see. That's wonderful. [01:49] Kondo     The entire Shinsengumi will attend the ceremony. [01:54] Mitsuba     To tell you the truth, I had given up on marriage. [01:58] Mitsuba     My health isn't good, I'm an old lady, and no one would marry me. I should be grateful. [02:03] Kondo     No, no, you haven't changed at all, Mitsuba-dono. [02:08] Kondo     Pretty, polite and bright. Sogo often talked about you. [02:12] ---     He's very proud of his sister. [02:14] Mitsuba     Oh dear! Kondo-san, flattery will get you nowhere, you know. [02:20] Member A     Hey, who is that? That babe. What're they talking about? [02:23] Member A     Why're they laughing? [02:24] Member B     Didn't they just say something about marriage? [02:27] Member C     What?! He already has Otae-san-the son-of-a-bitch! [02:30] Harada     Shh! Keep quiet, stupid! [02:32] Yamazaki     You guys don't know? That's... [02:35] Yamazaki     Okita-san's sister, Mitsuba-san! [02:37] Members     What? [02:38] Harada     The one who sends those Super Spicy Rice Crackers every month? [02:41] Harada     They're too hot to eat. [02:43] Harada     But they're so different. [02:45] Harada     It's hard to believe such a polite and quiet person could be Captain Okita-san's... [02:48] Yamazaki     That's why they say: if one sibling is irresponsible, the other is very responsible. [02:55] Yamazaki     The world balances out that way. [03:03] Mitsuba     My, things are always so lively around here. [03:06] Kondo     Oh! Sogo...you finally made it. [03:08] Okita     I'm sorry. I'll join you after I take care of him. [03:13] Mitsuba     So-chan, you mustn't. You mustn't be rough with your friends. [03:19] Okita     I'm so sorry, Sister! [03:21] Yamazaki     What?! [03:24] Kondo     You can't compete with your sister, as usual, eh, Sogo? [03:28] Okita     It's been so long, Sister. You must be tired after journeying all the way to Edo. [03:35] Yamazaki     Who is that?! [03:37] Kondo     Well, spend some time alone together. You don't need us. [03:41] ---     Sogo, take the day off. [03:44] Kondo     She came all this way. Show Mitsuba-dono around Edo. [03:50] Okita     Thank you very much! [03:52] Okita     Shall we go, Sister? [03:54] Yamazaki     What was that, Chief? [03:57] Kondo     He lost his parents when he was very young. [04:01] Kondo     Since then, Mitsuba-dono has been like a mother to him. [04:07] Kondo     Let him be today. A man needs a place where he can let down his guard. [04:14] Kondo     Especially a guy like him... [04:15] Kondo     who never shows weakness and has lived obstinately all his life. [04:20] Yamazaki     Understood. I'll say I never saw today's Okita-san. SIGN    [Battle Royal Host] [Note: Spoof of the Battle Royale novel and film and the family style restaurant, Royal Host.] [04:27] Okita     So this trip to Edo is also to meet your fiancée's family? [04:31] Mitsuba     Yes. I'll be staying in Edo for a while, so we can see each other anytime. [04:35] Okita     Really? That makes me so happy! [04:38] Mitsuba     Me, too. [04:40] Okita     If you wed and live in Edo, we can see each other anytime we want. [04:44] Mitsuba     That's right. [04:45] Okita     I'm...so happy. [04:47] Mitsuba     Me, too. [04:48] Harada     M-Me, too! [04:51] Okita     But I'm worried. Edo's air is filthy compared to Bushu. SIGN    [Note: Bushu was a part of the Musashi province. Which today consists of Tokyo, Saitama and Kanagawa prefecture.] [04:57] Okita     I'm worried about your health. [04:59] Okita     Look at all those exhaust fumes. [05:01] Mitsuba     What? [05:04] Mitsuba     What? Where, So-chan? [05:07] Mitsuba     My...what is that smell? [05:10] Okita     Isn't the air awful? I hope it doesn't affect your lungs, Sister. [05:14] Mitsuba     Don't worry about my illness. [05:15] Mitsuba     Thanks to the money you send every month, I'm getting full treatment. [05:19] Mitsuba     More importantly, are you okay, So-chan? [05:22] Mitsuba     Are you eating three meals a day? [05:24] Okita     I am. [05:25] Mitsuba     Are you getting enough sleep, even when you're busy? [05:27] Okita     I am. I don't even have time to count sheep. [05:31] Mitsuba     Are you getting along with everyone? You're not being bullied, are you? [05:35] Okita     Well, at times, some of the guys are nasty, but I don't give in. [05:40] Mitsuba     How about friends? [05:41] Mitsuba     Do you have a close friend you can confide your problems in? [05:48] Okita     My good friend, Gintoki Sakata- [05:50] Gintoki     What's up? [05:52] Gintoki     Hey, since when did you and I become friends? [05:55] Okita     Master, you don't become friends because you decide to, it just happens. [06:02] Gintoki     And friends just happen to leave, too. [06:05] Okita     Excuse me. Three chocolate parfaits, please! [06:10] Gintoki     We're friends, or rather, he's like a younger brother to me. [06:14] Gintoki     That's how it seems. Right, Soichiro-kun? [06:17] Okita     It's Sogo. [06:18] Gintoki     I like how he pays attention to details. Right, Soichiro Yagami-kun? SIGN    [Note: Name of Light's father from DEATH NOTE.] [06:23] Okita     It's Sogo. [06:24] Mitsuba     My, so my younger brother made friends with an older person again. [06:28] ---     You've always surrounded yourself with older people. [06:31] Okita     That's okay. I'm still an eighth-grader in summertime at heart. [06:35] Gintoki     Eighth grade? [06:35] Gintoki     Of all things... Were you the most stupid eighth-grader in the world, Takeshi Kaga-kun? SIGN    [Note: Takeshi Kaga is the Iron Chef Japan host.] [06:40] Okita     It's Sogo. [06:43] Okita     Master, please. Sister has lung disease. [06:47] Okita     She can't handle stress. [06:49] Okita     I don't want to needlessly worry her. Please do a better job of playing my friend. [06:54] Gintoki     Huh? Just a minute, Sister, what're you doing? Hello? [06:59] Gintoki     Sister! That's Tabasco! [07:03] Mitsuba     As a show of my appreciation for you taking care of So-chan, [07:06] Mitsuba     I thought I'd show you an especially delicious way to enjoy this. [07:11] ---     Do you like spicy foods? [07:13] Gintoki     Well, this is...not something that's supposed to be spicy. [07:20] Mitsuba     So you... [07:21] ---     don't like it...even though you're So-chan's friend. [07:24] Gintoki     Being friends has nothing to do with it. [07:26] Okita     You like it, right, Master? [07:29] Gintoki (M)     What is this? I've never met anyone like this. If I'm not careful... [07:30] Gintoki     I might like it, now that I think about it. [07:32] Mitsuba     Spicy foods are good for you. [07:34] Mitsuba     They enhance your appetite. [07:35] Mitsuba     Spicy foods have helped me many times when I was ill and had no appetite. [07:39] Gintoki     But I've already had two parfaits, so my stomach's full... [07:43] Gintoki     you know. [07:48] Okita     Master! [07:49] Gintoki     Get me some water! [07:52] Gintoki (M)     She wants me to eat this without water?! [07:56] Okita     Sister! [08:05] Okita     Sister! Sister! Please say something! [08:09] Mitsuba     I'm fine. I just spit out the Tabasco I just ate. [08:12] Gintoki     Nausicaa!! SIGN    [Note: The voice actress for Mitsuba also voiced Nausicaa from Nausicaa The Valley of the Wind.] [08:19] Hijikata     What the hell is this?! Water... Water... [08:22] Yamazaki     It's a gift. "Super Spicy Rice Crackers" from Okita-san's sister. [08:26] Hijikata     Yamazaki, are you mocking me? What's with that afro? [08:29] Yamazaki     Don't get angry with me. Be angry at Mitsuba-dono. [08:35] Yamazaki     Vice-Chief, why didn't you go see her? [08:38] Yamazaki     Chief told me about it. [08:40] Yamazaki     You, Chief and Mitsuba-dono were friends back when you were in the Bushu countryside, [08:44] Yamazaki     before the Shinsengumi was formed. [08:47] Yamazaki     You should've let me take care of the trivial job [08:49] Yamazaki     of checking out suspicious vessels and gone to see Mitsuba-dono. [08:56] Hijikata     The kind of weapons the Anti-Foreigner Faction has these days [09:00] Hijikata     are different from those of the past. [09:03] Hijikata     In these times of the Sword ban, it's not easy for civilians to acquire goods like that. [09:08] Hijikata     I'm positive someone in the Bakufu government is diverting the goods through illegal channels [09:10] Hijikata     and selling them on the black market. [09:13] Yamazaki     Vice-Chief. Did something happen between you and Mitsuba-dono? [09:16] Hijikata     Yes, there's something there. I just know it. [09:19] Yamazaki     I knew it. There's still fire in the embers. [09:22] Hijikata     Yes. If there's a fire, it'll be big trouble. [09:26] ---     Seriously? Huh? No, it's nothing like that! Dammit! [09:29] ---     What're you talking about? I'll kill you. Why're you wearing an afro? [09:33] ---     I'll kill you. For Pete's sake. [09:35] Yamazaki     It looks like Mitsuba-dono is going to get married. [09:37] Hijikata     It's none of my businesses, I keep telling you! That afro! [09:40] ---     Hey! Why're you wearing an afro? I really will kill you! [09:42] Yamazaki     Her fiancé is a merchant and a millionaire. A real Cinderella story, I'd say. [09:47] Hijikata     What do I care? What's with the "I'd say"? You piss me off. [09:51] Hijikata     You only notice the useless things. [09:55] Hijikata     In the first place, why're you wearing an afro? [09:57] Yamazaki     Vice-Chief, over there...! [10:01] Okita     I had a fun time today. [10:03] Mitsuba     So-chan, thank you for everything. SIGN    [Note: The bag Mitsuba is holding is from JUMP FESTA.] [10:05] Okita     You should stay at our headquarters, at least for today. [10:08] Okita     You don't have to stay over at your fiancée's place. [10:11] Mitsuba     I'm sorry. There are a lot of things I need to take care of. SIGN    [Note: Gin is wearing a Chopper hat. Okita is wearing Usopp glasses. (from One Piece)] [10:16] Mitsuba     Sakata-san, thank you very much for your company today. [10:21] Gintoki     Don't mention it. [10:23] Okita     All right, Sister, I'll say good-bye here. Please go on in. [10:26] Mitsuba     All right. [10:28] Mitsuba     Oh, So-chan. [10:31] Mitsuba     How is...he...? [10:38] Okita     I won't let you see that bastard. [10:40] Okita     He left this morning on a job without saying anything. [10:44] Okita     He's a cold-hearted bastard. [10:51] Mitsuba     Work comes first, as usual, it seems. [10:54] Gintoki     He gets me mixed up in this and then just up and leaves. [10:59] Mitsuba     Forgive him. He's a selfish child. [11:02] Mitsuba     It's my fault. [11:04] Mitsuba     He lost his parents when he was very young, [11:07] Mitsuba     so in order to keep him from feeling lonely, I indulged him while raising him. [11:11] Mitsuba     He's selfish, bull-headed, and hates to lose. [11:14] Mitsuba     That's why he was always a loner even back then. [11:17] Mitsuba     He didn't have a single friend. [11:22] Mitsuba     If he hadn't met Kondo-san, who knows how he might've turned out. [11:26] Mitsuba     Even now, I'm a bit anxious. Is he doing okay? [11:32] Mitsuba     You're not really his friend, are you? [11:35] Gintoki     Is he doing okay? How could he be? [11:39] Gintoki     He skips work, he's awakened his sadistic side, he's committed scandal, [11:43] Gintoki     and he's awakened his sadistic side... [11:44] Gintoki     He's no good. That shitty brat. [11:47] Gintoki     What kind of education did you give him? [11:50] Gintoki     He needs to choose his friends. [11:52] Gintoki     If he hangs around with people like me, nothing good is going to happen. [11:59] Mitsuba     You're a funny man. But... [12:02] Mitsuba     No wonder he's attracted to you. You're sort of similar. [12:08] Gintoki     Huh? Similar? [12:12] Hijikata     Hey. [12:14] Hijikata     What're you people doing here? [12:17] Hijikata     This mansion... [12:26] Mitsuba     Toshiro-sa... [12:35] Gintoki     Hey! Get ahold of yourself. Hey! [12:43] Yamazaki     She seems to finally be resting. [12:46] Yamazaki     I heard she was in poor health... [12:48] Yamazaki     but it appears her condition is worse that we thought. [12:52] Yamazaki     But that aside, why were you with Mitsuba-san, Boss? [12:55] Gintoki     It just happened. [12:56] Gintoki     What's with that afro? [12:58] Yamazaki     It just happened. [12:59] Gintok     How did that "just happen"? [13:02] Gintoki     For you...it doesn't look like "it just happened." [13:08] Gintoki     The way she collapsed just from seeing your face... [13:10] Gintoki     Something major must've happened between you two. [13:14] Hijikata     It's none of your business. [13:16] Gintoki     Forgive me. [13:18] Gintoki     It's boorish of me to stick my nose into what happens between a man and a woman. [13:22] Gintoki     I'm really sorry. [13:23] Yamazaki     Don't stop there, Boss. [13:25] Yamazaki     The Vice-Chief may not look it, but he's very naïve. [13:29] Hijikata     I said it's none of your business! What are you doing here, anyway?! [13:33] Yamazaki     Vice-Chief, calm down! There's an ill person right next to you! [13:36] Hijikata     Shut up! What're you wearing an afro for, anyway?! [13:43] Kuraba     Everyone. [13:45] Kuraba     I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you. [13:49] Kuraba     I'd like to thank you for carrying Mitsuba to my mansion. [13:54] Kuraba     I run the trading company "Tenkaiya." My name is Toma Kuraba. [14:00] Yamazaki (Softly)     He's going to become Mitsuba-san's husband. [14:04] Kuraba     I had warned her against walking around town because it would affect her health. [14:09] Kuraba     My Mitsuba has caused you all a great deal of inconvenience. [14:12] Kuraba     Your uniform...might you be members of the Shinsengumi? [14:16] Kuraba     Then you must be friends with Mitsuba's younger brother... [14:19] Okita     They're not my friends. [14:22] Kuraba     Sogo-kun. [14:23] Kuraba     Sogo-kun, so you came. Mitsuba-san is... [14:28] Okita     Well, if it isn't Hijikata-san. How odd for us to meet here. [14:34] Okita     How dare you come to see Sister. [14:39] Yamazaki     You misunderstand, Okita-san! We came because... [14:47] Yamazaki     Ow, ow, ow... [14:49] Hijikata     Sorry to bother you. [14:53] Yamazaki     Hi-Hijikata-san... Are you sure about this? [15:08] Mitsuba     So-chan. So-chan! [15:11] Mitsuba     So-chan, it's time for practice. [15:16] Mitsuba     What's the matter? You usually get up early by yourself to go to the dojo. [15:21] Mitsuba     Did something unpleasant happen? [15:24] Young Okita     There's a guy who pisses me off. [15:26] Mitsuba     The one who began coming to the dojo recently? [15:29] Young Okita     He's junior to me, but he's cocky and talks like we're equals. [15:33] Young Okita     Since he came, Kondo-san doesn't pay much attention to me. [15:37] Young Okita     I've had it. I don't want to go to the dojo. [15:41] Mitsuba     So-chan... [15:46] Hijikata     Okita Senpai. Time for practice. [15:51] Young Okita     You! Why're you at my house?! [15:54] ---     You jerk! [15:55] Hijikata     Kondo-san said to bring you. [15:57] ---     Lemme go, you jerk! [15:59] Young Okita     Ow, ow, ow! [16:00] Hijikata     C'mon, lets go, Senpai. [16:03] Young Okita     You! Is this any way to treat your Senpai?! Damn you! [16:16] Young Okita (M)     I don't like him. [16:23] Kondo     Just a minute! Mitsuba-dono! [16:25] Kondo     You shouldn't put on so much chili pepper! [16:27] Kondo     How many times do I have to tell you? It's bad for your health! [16:30] Mitsuba     But it's delicious. [16:31] Kondo     But nothing! It's definitely bad for you! It's completely red! [16:35] Kondo     Man, today's young people have a strange sense of taste. [16:38] ---     Don't they, Toshi? [16:40] Kondo     Toshi! [16:42] Kondo     What're you doing?! What's that you're eating?! [16:45] Hijikata     It's an IT taste revolution. SIGN    [Note: A line from a joke by Japanese comedian Hikomaro.] [16:46] Kondo     What're you talking about?! Who're you trying to mimic?! [16:51] Kondo     Come on! Mitsuba-dono, you shouldn't eat that, I'm telling you! [16:55] Mitsuba     The inside of my mouth feels like the Social Insurance Agency coming apart. SIGN    [Note: The Social Insurance Agency (found guilty of insurance fraud) was penalized with mass firings and restructuring. This was a big news item in Japan.] [16:57] Kondo     That's because you can't taste anything! What's that supposed to mean? [17:00] Hijikata     The inside of my mouth is... SIGN    [Note: A famous phrase from the movie "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun."] [17:01] ---     Doddoddoddodotto! [17:02] ---     Wonderful! [17:03] Kondo     Now who're you supposed to be?! Hiroko? Masami? [17:05] ---     Either way, you gross me out. [17:09] Young Okita (M)     I don't like him. [17:12] Young Okita (M)     I don't like that guy. [17:14] Young Okita (M)     Yes, he's a guy I never liked from the beginning. [17:20] Young Okita     Hijikata-san. [17:22] Okita     Would you mind giving me a lesson? [17:30] Mitsuba     Forgive me. [17:31] Mitsuba     The ceremony's been postponed because of my health again, hasn't it? [17:35] Kuraba     That's all right. Let's take our time and make you well. [17:38] Kuraba     The ceremony is just a formality. [17:40] Kuraba     I've thought of us as a couple for quite some time now. [17:44] Mitsuba     Thank you, Toma-san. [17:46] Kuraba     I'll be going now since I have work to attend to. [17:50] Kuraba     You mustn't eat spicy foods, okay? It's bad for your body. [17:53] Mitsuba     I know. I'm not that much of a fool. [17:58] Kuraba     Well then... I'll be back. SIGN    [Note: Bag says "Daioh Buffet" a spoof of the spicy snack, Dictator Habanero.] [18:14] Mitsuba     Incredible. You really do anything I ask! [18:18] Gintoki     I'm an Odd Jobs. [18:20] Gintoki     Don't eat too much now. It'll give you hemorrhoids. [18:23] Mitsuba     Do you think I collapsed because of hemorrhoids? [18:28] Gintoki     Hey, you want something, too? I have bananas. [18:31] Yamazaki     No thank you. I always carry sausages with me on secret agent activities. [18:37] Mitsuba     Oh, Yamazaki-san? [18:39] ---     What are you doing here? [18:40] Yamazaki     Oh no! [18:42] Yamazaki     Ow, ow, ow. [18:45] Okita     Looks like you've been sniffing around my sister lately. [18:52] Okita     What's the meaning of this? [18:58] Okita     Don't do anything more to ruin Sister's happiness. [19:04] Okita     I want you to stop. [19:08] Hijikata     Tenkaiya. [19:10] Hijikata     They are suspected of conspiring with lawless ronin in large weapons deals on the black market. [19:15] Hijikata     He's been selling weapons at high prices to ronin. [19:19] Hijikata     He's a black market dealer. [19:21] Hijikata     Your sister's fiancée is our enemy. [19:26] Gintoki     Does that woman know? [19:29] Yamazaki     No, the Vice-Chief told me not to tell anyone. [19:31] Gintoki     Sure you are-you're telling me. [19:33] Yamazaki     Ouch! But Boss, you... [19:35] Gintoki     What about me? Are you making it my fault? [19:36] Okita     Hijikata-san. [19:37] ---     Regardless of what sort of weapons the Anti-Foreigner Faction possess, [19:40] ---     all we have to do is kill them all. It's a minor problem. [19:43] Okita     He can't stay in business unless he's willing to deal with all sorts of people. [19:50] Okita     And you saw the kind of man he is and how deeply he is in love with my sister. [19:56] Okita     I'm sure he can make her happy. [19:59] Hijikata     Are you telling me to look the other way? [20:03] Okita     Is that how it sounded? [20:06] Hijikata     I'll pretend I didn't hear that. [20:09] ---     Your lesson is over. [20:13] Okita     We aren't finished talking yet! [20:16] Hijikata     Are you half-asleep or something?! [20:18] Hijikata     Surely you can't believe your sister will be happy with that... [20:27] Okita     She doesn't have much longer. [20:30] Okita     I'm told she doesn't... [20:33] Okita     have much longer to live. [20:37] Okita     I can't stand it. [20:39] Okita     Since I was little, she took care of me, ignoring her own needs, and even... [20:45] Okta     But now when she's about to grasp happiness at last... [20:49] Okita     At least before she dies, I want her to experience happiness like other people. [20:56] Okita     I'm not saying to let him go. Just for a little while... [21:02] Okita     Hijikata-san, Sister stayed single all this time because you were... [21:07] Hijikata     Hey. [21:08] Hijikata     The deal goes down tomorrow night. [21:12] Hijikata     Make sure your sword's in good shape. [21:16] Okita (M)     I don't like him. [21:18] Okita (M)     He's always like that.
