***SIGN*** [Okita's sister, Mitsuba, falls ill right before her marriage to Kuraba.]
***SIGN*** [Okita only wishes for his sister's remaining days to be happy, but the cold-hearted Hijikata will have none of that.]
***SIGN*** [Oedo Hospital]
**[01:51] Mitsuba**
Gin-san...
**[01:53] Mitsuba**
What were you and Yamazaki-san talking about yesterday?
**[01:56] Gintoki**
Huh? Nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[02:00] Mitsuba**
If you put it like that, it makes me worry even more.
**[02:03] Gintoki**
Come on, don't ask silly questions.
**[02:05] ---**
When men get together and talk secretly about something...
**[02:07] Gintoki**
...then it's gotta be about this. You wanna see it?
***SIGN*** [The Nurse's Fluttering Flowers.]
**[02:10] Mitsuba**
Oh my!
**[02:13] Mitsuba**
I guess boys will always be boys.
**[02:16] ---**
They'll get together and be up to no good.
**[02:24] Mitsuba**
Just like them...
**[02:25] Kondo**
That's all for today.
**[02:27] Mitsuba**
They look the happiest when they're with other guys.
**[02:31] Mitsuba**
There really was no room for girls.
**[02:42] Mitsuba**
And then they left without me.
**[02:46] Mitsuba**
They didn't even look back.
**[02:52] Gintoki**
What a bunch of terrible guys to have left such a good woman behind.
**[02:58] Mitsuba**
I know. That's why I'm going to become super happy and put them all to shame!
**[03:06] Mitsuba**
Being single up to this age and my poor health have caused So-chan a lot of worry.
**[03:12] ---**
I have to find happiness so So-chan will no longer have to worry about me.
**[03:16] Mitsuba**
Yes, I have to become happy.
**[03:21] Yamazaki**
Tenkaiya, the family Mitsuba will marry into...
**[03:23] Yamazaki**
has some shady connections with the Anti-Foreigner Faction.
**[03:31] Gintoki**
Hey, you okay? You should get some rest.
**[03:33] ---**
You're putting stress on your body.
**[03:36] Mitsuba**
I'm...okay...
**[03:39] ---**
I just want to talk with someone for a little bit...
**[03:42] Mitsuba**
...more...
**[03:47] Gintoki**
Hey!
**[03:52] Yamazaki**
Her condition suddenly turned worse.
**[03:55] Yamazaki**
It's not looking good.
**[03:59] Yamazaki**
Her family should prepare for the worst.
**[04:02] Yamazaki**
That's what the doctor said.
**[04:06] Yamazaki**
Vice-Chief, please go to her.
**[04:09] Yamazaki**
How can you work at a time like this?
**[04:11] ---**
And not only that, you're going to arrest Mitsuba's fiancé of all people...
**[04:16] Yamazaki**
That's cruel...too cruel.
**[04:19] ---**
Please think of Mitsuba and Captain Okita's feelings.
**[04:23] Yamazaki**
I don't think you're doing the wrong thing.
**[04:27] Yamazaki**
If we leave them be, then eventually their weapons may kill one of our own.
**[04:33] Yamazaki**
But what should be done right now...isn't this.
**[04:36] ---**
Hijikata-san, this is not where you should be right now.
**[04:42] Hijikata**
Humph.
**[04:43] Hijikata**
Are you trying to say I'm cold and heartless?
**[04:46] ---**
I don't think so.
**[04:49] Hijikata**
His wife is dying and yet the husband's out here trying to cut a deal.
**[04:56] Yamazaki**
Hijikata-san.
**[04:57] Hijikata**
Yamazaki, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?
**[05:01] Yamazaki**
N-No...
**[05:03] Hijikata**
So you and I are the only ones in the organization who know of this, right?
**[05:06] Yamazaki**
Yes.
**[05:07] Hijikata**
In that case, I want you to keep this matter confidential, okay?
**[05:12] Yamazaki**
Vice-Chief! You're not thinking of...!
**[05:14] Yamazaki**
Vice-Chief!!
**[05:23] Kondo**
Sogo!
**[05:24] Kondo**
You should get some rest.
**[05:26] Kondo**
You haven't slept a wink since yesterday.
**[05:28] ---**
I'll switch with you. I've already slept.
**[05:31] Okita**
Those dark circles.
**[05:33] Kondo**
It's just makeup.
**[05:36] Kondo**
Huh?
**[05:37] Kondo**
Man, it must be nice to be carefree like that.
**[05:40] ---**
What's he doing here anyway?
**[05:43] Kondo**
I heard you had a huge fight with Toshi.
**[05:45] ---**
It's not like you to lose.
**[05:48] Okita**
Please don't talk about that bastard right now.
**[05:52] Kondo**
He didn't go into detail, but this is what he told me.
**[05:56] ---**
He said he feels like he would never lose to you right now.
**[05:58] Okita**
I asked you not to talk about him!
**[06:01] Okita**
What's the deal? Why does everyone talk about Toshi all the time?
**[06:07] Okita**
So where the hell is that bastard right now?
**[06:09] ---**
My sister's like this yet he won't even show his face.
**[06:12] ---**
So he doesn't give a damn if a woman he dumped is dying?
**[06:16] ---**
Well I guess that's how it is when you're popular with the girls, huh?
**[06:19] Kondo**
Looks like you are tired after all. You should get some rest.
**[06:23] Okita**
Do you despise me now?
**[06:25] Kondo**
Go rest.
**[06:27] Okita**
Am I just a nuisance?
**[06:28] ---**
Unlike Hijikata-san...
**[06:32] Yamazaki**
Chief!!
**[06:34] Yamazaki**
This is terrible!!
**[06:35] ---**
The Vice-Chief is...!!
**[06:52] Kuraba**
Hm?
**[06:55] Hijikata**
You're Toma Kuraba of Tenkaiya, right?
**[06:58] ---**
The jig is up.
**[07:00] ---**
Cooperate and this will go easier for you.
**[07:02] Kuraba**
You're that guy from before...
**[07:05] Hijikata**
You are under arrest on charges of smuggling weapons and illegal dealings with ronin.
**[07:10] ---**
Come with me quietly.
**[07:14] Kuraba**
So you can arrest your friend's fiancé without any hesitation?
**[07:17] ---**
You've got a lot of nerve.
**[07:20] Hijikata**
Getting involved with a relative of the Shinsengumi while dirtying your hands in a crime like this...
**[07:25] Hijikata**
You've got a lot of nerve.
**[07:32] Kondo**
Toshi went by himself?
**[07:33] Kondo**
Yamazaki! Why didn't you say anything?
**[07:36] Yamazaki**
I'm sorry!
**[07:37] ---**
But the Vice-Chief swore me to secrecy.
**[07:40] Yamazaki**
If the members found out that Captain Okita's relative is connected to Anti-Foreigner Faction samurai,
**[07:44] Yamazaki**
then the captain would lose his position in the Shinsengumi.
**[07:49] Kondo**
Damn Toshi! He planned on doing this by himself from the start.
**[07:53] ---**
How reckless of him.
**[07:56] Okita**
...Why...
**[07:58] Hijikata**
Whatever. What you do is up to you.
**[08:04] Okita**
That bastard!
**[08:07] Kondo**
Don't you dare go anywhere.
**[08:09] Kondo**
Stay by Mitsuba-dono.
**[08:12] Kondo**
Besides...
**[08:14] Kondo**
...right now, you'll just get in the way.
**[08:16] ---**
Those who hesitate with their sword will die.
**[08:19] Okita**
So you want me to trust you?
**[08:21] ---**
You've gotta be kidding me.
**[08:23] ---**
There's no way I'm gonna be indebted to that bastard.
**[08:26] Okita**
Kondo-san... You have the wrong idea about me.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm not as pure as you think I am.
**[08:32] Okita**
I'm not one to trust others.
**[08:35] ---**
I only think of myself.
**[08:38] ---**
Even when we were together, I always felt a gap between us.
**[08:41] ---**
I always felt I was different from you guys.
**[08:43] ---**
That's why, my sister, you and him...
**[08:49] Yamazaki**
Chief!
**[08:53] Okita**
Boy, you really are harsh on me, aren't you, Kondo-san?
**[08:58] Kondo**
That's because you're a kid.
**[09:00] ---**
If Toshi said the same thing as you, I would've hit him too.
**[09:04] ---**
Isn't that how our relationship is?
**[09:07] Kondo**
If one of us strayed, then the other two will punch him back to where he belongs.
**[09:12] ---**
It's always been like that.
**[09:14] ---**
That's why we'll never stray. We'll always live a straight life.
**[09:18] Kondo**
We don't know anything about this small gap that you claim to have built.
**[09:22] Kondo**
But I'll keep jumping over that and punching you out as many times as I can.
**[09:32] Kondo**
Friends like that are hard to find in this life.
**[09:36] ---**
We're really lucky, you know.
**[09:38] Kondo**
To have found two bad friends like that in our lives.
**[09:45] Kondo**
Sogo...
**[09:47] Kondo**
If I ever go astray, it will be your turn to punch me, all right?
**[09:56] Okita**
She loved him...
**[09:59] Okita**
With all her might...
**[10:02] Okita**
Even after being treated so coldly by him, she still waited for him to come home.
**[10:09] Okita**
She always did.
**[10:13] Okita**
She finally got over him and was about to be happy when...
**[10:17] Okita**
...he appeared again.
**[10:19] Okita**
How many times will he stand in the way of my sister's happiness?
**[10:21] Okita**
What an asshole.
**[10:31] Okita**
He's an asshole. He really is...
**[10:34] Okita**
But I know... I know that my sister would never fall in love with an asshole.
**[10:40] Okita**
In all honesty, I understood.
**[10:42] ---**
I understood that a guy who always faced death couldn't risk taking care of my sister.
**[10:49] Okita**
I understood...that he turned her down because he thought that would be better for my sister.
**[10:54] Okita**
I understood...that all he really wanted was for my sister to be happy.
**[11:00] Okita**
I understood all of this... But it still gets on my nerves.
**[11:08] Okita**
He pisses me off.
**[11:11] Okita**
And that's fine with me.
**[11:15] ---**
All right then...
**[11:17] ---**
Boss, thanks for listening to my long story.
**[11:22] Okita**
Don't tell my sister this, okay?
**[11:25] ---**
Oh, never mind, it's not like you were listening anyway.
**[11:29] Okita**
He took away a lot of important things from me, but I still gotta go.
**[11:35] Okita**
Kondo-san told me I'd die.
**[11:38] ---**
So this may be the last time.
**[11:40] ---**
I just needed to get it all off my chest to someone, even if it's to a Jizo statue.
***SIGN*** [Note: Jizo statues are part of the Buddhist religion and said to be guardians of dead children.]
**[11:43] Gintoki**
One of the important things you talked about...
**[11:45] Gintoki**
...includes him, right?
**[11:48] Okita**
Boss.
**[11:53] Gintoki**
That was a good nap.
**[11:54] Gintoki**
I'll go with you so I can shake off this grogginess.
**[11:58] ---**
After all, I lied to your sister about how we were friends and all.
**[12:01] Gintoki**
I'll be with you till the end, Soichiro-kun.
**[12:05] Okita**
Boss...those black circles...
**[12:08] Gintoki**
Some punks beat me up.
**[12:12] Okita**
Sister, I'm a lucky guy.
**[12:16] ---**
You don't often meet friends like these in your lifetime.
**[12:20] Okita**
Yet, I already have three of these bad friends in my life.
**[12:37] Mastermind**
This is not what you told me, Kuraba-dono.
**[12:41] Mastermind**
I thought the Bakufu's dogs were already on our side.
**[12:44] Mastermind**
But that's Toshiro Hijikata of the Shinsengumi, feared by all as the demon Vice-Chief.
**[12:50] Mastermind**
If he's on our trail, then it'll be trouble for you and for us.
**[12:55] ---**
I'm sure reinforcements will be arriving soon.
**[12:56] Kuraba**
No.
**[12:58] Kuraba**
It's already too late for reinforcements.
**[13:00] ---**
It looks like he really came here by himself.
**[13:03] Mastermind**
By himself? Why?
**[13:05] Kuraba**
Who knows? It's difficult for us merchants to understand how a samurai thinks.
**[13:12] Mastermind**
If that's the case...
**[13:23] Mastermind**
All we have to do is take care of him and we'll be done.
**[13:27] Kuraba**
Let's make sure he disappears, okay?
**[13:31] Assistant**
Doctor!
**[13:32] Assistant**
Her pulse is getting weaker. Her life is in danger.
**[13:38] Doctor**
We did everything we could...but...
**[13:41] Doctor**
Is her family here?
**[13:43] Nurse**
Well, the thing is...
**[13:50] Okita**
Sister...
**[13:51] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[13:53] Okita**
I...
**[13:55] Okita**
I...
**[14:00] Yamazaki**
Outta the way! Make way for the Shinsengumi!
**[14:04] Kondo**
Toshi... That idiot...
**[14:08] Kondo**
Who among us would ever want to kick Sogo out of the organization?
**[14:12] ---**
We're all comrades, aren't we?
**[14:14] Kondo**
You idiot!
**[14:16] Kondo**
Why do you always put all the burden on yourself?
**[14:20] Kondo**
So you plan on being the bad guy all by yourself too?
**[14:24] Kondo**
I know how you feel, Toshi...
**[14:27] ---**
...About Mitsuba-dono!
**[14:41] Kuraba**
What a pity.
**[14:44] ---**
I'm sure Mitsuba will be sad, too.
**[14:46] ---**
To lose one of her old friends.
**[14:49] Kuraba**
I really wanted to be on good terms with you people.
**[14:54] ---**
If I got the backing of the Shinsengumi,
**[14:57] ---**
then I could run my business without any restrictions.
**[15:00] Kuraba**
That's why I approached one of your relatives and even set out to marry her,
**[15:05] Kuraba**
but who knew she was that sick?
**[15:08] Kuraba**
I figured if I had his sister, then Sogo would be easy to control,
**[15:13] Kuraba**
but according to her doctor, she doesn't have much time left to live.
**[15:17] ---**
It really is a pity.
**[15:20] Hijikata**
So from the start, you just used her to get us on your side?
**[15:25] Kuraba**
I loved her.
**[15:27] ---**
As a merchant, I love things that will make me a profit.
**[15:31] ---**
But only as a tool.
**[15:35] Kuraba**
She was damaged goods, but I gave her happiness like other people.
**[15:40] ---**
If anything, she should thank me.
**[15:47] Okita**
I just want her to taste a bit of happiness like other people before she dies.
**[15:59] Hijikata**
It's not like you're that much of a nonconformist, you know.
**[16:01] Hijikata**
You and I are alike.
**[16:03] ---**
I've also done countless horrible acts.
**[16:06] Hijikata**
And to top it off, I'm trying to kill the husband of a woman who's dying.
**[16:10] ---**
Yeah, that's pretty cruel.
**[16:12] Kuraba**
So you can say, we're like two of a kind.
**[16:16] ---**
No wonder they call you the demon Vice-Chief.
**[16:19] ---**
I think you and I will get along well.
**[16:21] Hijikata**
That's really...
**[16:23] Hijikata**
...an exaggeration.
**[16:30] Hijikata**
I just...
**[16:33] Hijikata**
...want the girl I love to be happy.
**[16:38] Hijikata**
A life like that is impossible for a guy like me who lives by the sword.
**[16:43] Hijikata**
I just wanted her to marry a normal guy somewhere,
**[16:48] Hijikata**
have kids like everyone else and live a normal life.
**[16:53] Hijikata**
That's all...
**[16:57] Kuraba**
I see...
**[16:58] ---**
Well, like I said, it's hard for us merchants to understand how a samurai thinks.
**[17:06] Kuraba**
Fire!!
**[17:09] Kuraba**
What's going on?
**[17:11] Underling A**
I-I don't know.
**[17:13] Kondo**
Go!
**[17:17] Underling B**
It's the Shinsengumi!
**[17:24] Kondo**
Toshi!!
**[17:28] Underling C**
Die!
**[17:32] Kondo**
Toshi!!
**[17:35] Kuraba**
Start the car.
**[17:36] Underlng A**
Yes, sir.
**[17:37] Kuraba**
I misjudged them.
**[17:39] ---**
I guess it's impossible to work with barbaric monkeys after all.
**[17:44] Kuraba**
Head to the hospital.
**[17:46] ---**
That woman may be dying but she can still be used as a hostage.
**[17:52] Kuraba**
You bastard!!
**[17:56] Kuraba**
Sh-Shake him off!
**[17:57] ---**
What the hell are you doing?
**[17:59] ---**
Hurry up and shoot him!
**[18:05] Hijikata**
You!
**[18:10] Gintoki**
Don't worry.
**[18:12] Gintoki**
I just went to get some rice crackers for her.
**[18:13] Gintoki**
You go deliver it to her!
**[18:18] Gintoki**
I'm sure she'll be happier to get them from you.
**[18:45] Mitsuba**
You're leaving me behind.
**[18:48] Mitsuba**
So make sure you don't go astray.
**[18:50] Mitsuba**
Walk down the path you have chosen for yourself.
**[18:53] Mitsuba**
Please...okay...?
**[19:36] Okita**
Sis...
**[19:38] Okita**
I'm sorry...
**[19:41] Okita**
I'm...a good-for-nothing brother.
**[19:45] Okita**
In the end, I'm the one who robbed you of your happiness.
**[19:52] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:54] Okita**
Sorry...
**[20:03] Mitsuba**
So-chan,
**[20:06] Mitsuba**
it's okay.
**[20:08] ---**
You've worked so hard...
**[20:11] ---**
You've grown...grown up into such a great man.
**[20:17] ---**
You've gotten so strong.
**[20:20] Okita**
...Sis.
**[20:22] Okita**
I'm not strong... I'm not... I'm...
**[20:28] Mitsuba**
You mustn't look back...
**[20:32] Mitsuba**
You're the one who decided, right? Back then...
**[20:37] Mitsuba**
It was the path you chose.
**[20:42] Mitsuba**
Then you mustn't apologize...
**[20:47] ---**
And you mustn't cry...
**[20:52] Mitsuba**
You never looked back.
**[20:54] Mitsuba**
You just looked straight ahead and kept walking.
**[20:57] Mitsuba**
I loved looking at your backs as you walked away.
**[21:01] Mitsuba**
You were all gruff, impudent and clumsy.
**[21:08] Mitsuba**
Yet you were all so kind and I loved you for that.
**[21:15] Mitsuba**
That's why... I...was so very happy.
**[21:23] ---**
To have been able to meet wonderful people like you.
**[21:29] Mitsuba**
To have had...a wonderful little brother like you...
**[21:36] Mitsuba**
So-chan...
**[21:39] ---**
You are...
**[21:42] ---**
...the brother I am so proud of...

**[22:20] Hijikata**
Man, this is spicy.
**[22:22] ---**
So spicy!
**[22:25] ---**
Dammit, what the hell...?
**[22:28] Hijikata**
It's so spicy, it's making me cry...
**[22:34] ---**
Man, it's spicy...
**[22:49] Gintoki**
It's spicy.
