**[00:01] Kagura**
Boy, the year's already over, huh?
**[00:04] Gintoki**
Sure was fast.
**[00:05] Gintoki**
I hate how the years go by faster as we get older.
**[00:12] Gintoki**
At this rate, by the time I'm an old geezer,
**[00:14] Gintoki**
the years will pass at the speed of a Formula 1 car.
**[00:18] Kagura**
I've still got a long ways to go.
**[00:22] Gintoki**
Well, I'm already up to Ben Johnson speed, I'd say.
**[00:28] Gintoki**
My Ben Johnson is already up to here.
***SIGN*** [Note: In Japanese, Ben also refers to Poop. So here Gin is referring to his incontinence.]
**[00:30] ---**
Don't get too cocky because you're all still young.
**[00:33] ---**
Your Ben Johnson will fall behind soon enough.
**[00:34] Kagura**
For real? Ben Johnson's gonna fall out?
***SIGN*** [Note: Carl Lewis is a famous track and field athlete.]
**[00:37] Kagura**
I prefer Carl Lewis over Ben Johnson. He's cooler.
**[00:41] Gintoki**
Well, all I'm saying is, we all had a pretty good year, right?
**[00:49] Shinpachi**
Hell no! It's still February! We still have eleven months left!
**[00:55] Gintoki**
...Because this script was written in December.
**[00:58] Kagura**
That's right. Do you know how long it takes to make an anime?
**[01:02] Shinpachi**
When they make an anime, they should know the airdate!
**[01:05] Gintoki**
They did. Like, at the end of the year, they closed out with a "group date,"
**[01:09] Gintoki**
which reminded me of a year-end party.
**[01:11] Gintoki**
On January 3rd, they thought the perfect episode would be "My first dream of the new year."
**[01:13] Gintoki**
They really had a lot of ideas.
**[01:18] ---**
But the airdate schedules were completely messed up because of the Japan Series
**[01:21] ---**
and the New Year's special programs.
**[01:23] Shinpachi**
We don't need that kind of frank information.
**[01:26] Gintoki**
Moreover, the show was supposed to finish after the second year,
**[01:28] Gintoki**
so they planned BLEEP and BLEEP episodes,
**[01:30] Gintoki**
a BLEEP version and a BLEEP story to make it to episode 100, the last show.
**[01:35] Gintoki**
They carefully planned the whole series,
**[01:37] Gintoki**
but now they say the show will be extending to a third year, so the story must be dragged on.
**[01:40] Gintoki**
Give me a break, really.
**[01:43] Gintoki**
The people who will suffer later are us and the detectives at the site.
***SIGN*** [Note: Spoof of Cop TV shows. Older cops often say such a thing to youngsters.]
**[01:47] Kagura**
They don't understand anything.
**[01:50] Gintoki**
"An anime isn't something that can be created in a meeting room."
***SIGN*** [Note: Spoof of famous line from the Japanese film "Bayside Shakedown."]
**[01:53] ---**
It's made from the strange juices the animator squeezes out.
**[01:56] Shinpachi**
By the way, will this show enter a third year?
**[01:59] Shinpachi**
Is it all right to say something that important at this point in the series?
**[02:02] Gintoki**
No problem.
**[02:04] Gintoki**
Everyone would have known it in the next issue of the anime magazine, anyway...
**[02:07] ---**
Ah... I had hoped the show would be sorely missed and comments like
**[02:10] ---**
"We want to watch Gin-chan again!" would pour in,
***SIGN*** [Note: Spoof of Reborn the manga/anime.]
**[02:14] ---**
so it would return to prime time a half year later, Reborn!
**[02:17] Shinpachi**
No way! Sounds like you're dreaming!
**[02:20] Shinpachi**
Until just recently, we were afraid the show was going to be canceled at any moment,
**[02:22] Shinpachi**
so how can we return to prime time? I really don't get what you're talking about!
**[02:25] Kagura**
I heard DVD sales are going pretty well.
**[02:28] Gintoki**
It doesn't matter.
**[02:30] Gintoki**
No matter how many DVDs are sold, not even a cent comes back to the show.
**[02:34] Gintoki**
The production costs never increase.
**[02:36] ---**
Really... Aniplex entices people with unscrupulous cover designs on every DVD.
**[02:40] Shinpachi**
No, it's not that kind of cover.
**[02:42] Shinpachi**
And Gin-san please stop talking about money on the air.
**[02:46] Shinpachi**
Recently, you said, "Give us a budget, even if it's half of BLEEP,"
**[02:49] Shinpachi**
so the director of BLEEP, Director Mizushima, complained to us.
***SIGN*** [Note: Seiji Mizushima is the director of "GUNDAM 00.]
**[02:52] Shinpachi**
It didn't mean BLEEP, but BLEEP.
**[02:56] Gintoki**
It's so confusing because they bleep out everything.
**[02:59] Gintoki**
All right, I'll correct them. It wasn't BLEEP, it was BLEEP.
**[03:02] Gintoki**
Hey, it's the same thing if they use bleeps!
**[03:05] Gintoki**
For all of those reasons, we can't just halt the show,
**[03:08] Gintoki**
stock up enough episodes and then restart.
**[03:11] Gintoki**
Therefore, the GinTama anime drags on for a third year.
**[03:15] Shinpachi/Kagura**
Drags on?!
**[03:17] Gintoki**
When a weekly manga series becomes a long-term animation,
**[03:21] Gintoki**
it always encounters the same problem.
**[03:23] Gintoki**
A twenty-page weekly manga and a thirty-minute anime show run at different speeds,
**[03:29] Gintoki**
so the anime will eventually catch up to the manga.
**[03:32] Gintoki**
Regardless, with this issue,
**[03:34] Gintoki**
our predecessors took various measures to make their shows dragged on.
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** [This is a repeat of the
previous episode to use up time.]
**[03:38] Gintoki**
The first way is to look back at the last episode.
**[03:40] Gintoki**
At the beginning of the show,
**[03:41] Gintoki**
repeat the last scene from the previous episode for about five minutes, so it drags on.
**[03:46] Gintoki**
In some shows,
**[03:47] Gintoki**
it takes more than ten minutes before the episode titles show up, which is amazing.
**[03:51] Kagura**
But basically GinTama is a self-contained show, so we can't do it that way.
**[03:57] ---**
Next is to insert flashbacks...
**[04:00] Gintoki**
When two people face off in battle scenes and reach a deadlock,
**[04:04] Gintoki**
an all-knowing old man appears.
**[04:07] Gintoki**
And he says something like, "That's so and so, blah, blah, blah..."
***SIGN***
***SIGN***
**[04:11] Gintoki**
and replays old scenes for a long time.
**[04:15] Gintoki**
In one anime,
**[04:16] Gintoki**
the main characters never throw a punch at each other during the 30-minute show.
**[04:22] Shinpachi**
But GinTama isn't a battle manga. So we can't use that either.
**[04:29] ---**
But, GinTama created a way...
**[04:31] ---**
to drag on the episode that even its predecessors couldn't think of.
**[04:37] Gintoki**
That would be...
**[04:39] Shinpachi**
That would be...?
**[04:41] Gintoki**
That would be...
**[05:00] Gintoki**
All right, five minutes have passed.
***SIGN*** [The GinTama anime has amazingly entered its third year! Is it really okay to continue the show?]
***SIGN*** [So the full show is coming up next. Sniper VS Gintoki Breakdown Battle.]
**[06:43] Killer (M)**
A long time ago, a strategist once said
**[06:48] Killer (M)**
that an excellent strategist who emerges victorious from a fight...
**[06:51] Killer (M)**
is nothing more than a big coward.
**[06:55] Killer (M)**
A cowardly man who is frightened by an unexpected situation...
**[06:58] Killer (M)**
and thus takes all possible precautions.
**[07:02] Killer (M)**
And he never starts a fight until the conditions are set up in his favor.
**[07:08] Killer (M)**
Really, what that guy said is totally right.
**[07:12] Killer (M)**
Thanks to that, I ended up in a really messy room for nearly three months.
**[07:19] Killer (M)**
However, it's about a strategist.
**[07:21] Killer (M)**
You can't win a fight by being cowardly.
**[07:25] Killer (M)**
There is one more thing you need to win a fight.
**[07:29] Killer (M)**
It's the bravery soldiers who charge a huge army have.
**[07:33] Killer (M)**
In other words, I, the lone wolf,
**[07:36] Killer (M)**
have to be a cowardly strategist as well as a brave soldier.
**[07:41] Killer (M)**
What a hardship.
**[07:43] Killer (M)**
It seems I have some talent as a strategist, but as a soldier, I seem to be worthless.
**[07:50] Killer (M)**
I've been doing this for 20 years, but my hand still shakes every time I go to work.
**[07:57] Killer (M)**
I always make elaborate plans and hide in a very safe place...
**[08:02] Killer (M)**
and only when the target appears, do I strike.
**[08:08] Killer (M)**
What I do, some people with foul mouths say I'm...
***SIGN*** [COWARDLY AND DULL]
**[08:15] Killer (M)**
Cowardly and dull.
***SIGN*** [COWARDLY AND DULL]
***SIGN***
**[08:19] Killer (M)**
You're like...
***SIGN*** [A TURTLE.]
**[08:25] Killer (M)**
Since that day, I've been called "Turtle the Sniper."
**[08:31] Killer (M)**
What an easygoing name.
**[08:33] Killer (M)**
Who would imagine that I'm the best assassin in Edo?
**[08:37] Killer (M)**
Right... Some say I'm the strongest assassin, but that's wrong.
**[08:42] Killer (M)**
I'm just the biggest coward in Edo.
**[08:46] Killer (M)**
The reason why I am so good at handling a dangerous weapon is
**[08:50] Killer (M)**
that I have neither the power nor the courage to beat my target to death barehanded.
**[08:55] Killer (M)**
And the reason why I never miss my target is that I'm afraid he'll
**[08:58] Killer (M)**
come back and take revenge.
**[09:00] Killer (M)**
The reason why I murder anyone for money is because I worry about retirement.
**[09:08] Killer (M)**
The target comes to the park on Sunday afternoons to walk his dog.
**[09:12] Killer (M)**
According to my information, he's someone who works for the Bakufu,
**[09:16] Killer (M)**
and that's enough for me.
**[09:19] Killer (M)**
All I have to do is wait for my hands to stop shaking.
**[09:23] Killer (M)**
And wait for my confidence to come out of its shell.
**[09:27] Killer (M)**
But...
**[09:31] Killer (M)**
...my hands won't stop shaking.
**[09:34] Killer (M)**
The man who appears before me isn't a cowardly strategist...
**[09:38] Killer (M)**
...nor a brave soldier, nor a target. He's...
***SIGN*** ["Be A Person Who Can See People's Strong Points And Not Their Weak Points"]
**[09:53] Killer (M)**
What's with this man?
**[09:56] Killer (M)**
Is he looking at me? Why is he looking at me?
**[10:01] Killer (M)**
It can't be that he knows I'm here...
**[10:04] Killer (M)**
No way.
**[10:05] Killer (M)**
The distance between the park and this spot is more than one hundred meters.
**[10:10] Killer (M)**
From that vantage point,
**[10:11] Killer (M)**
the muzzle of my gun should look no bigger than the eye of a needle.
**[10:17] Killer (M)**
No...
**[10:18] Killer (M)**
...he's looking! That man is definitely looking at me!
**[10:23] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi seems to have noticed there's something wrong
**[10:25] Killer (M)**
as I hear him moving around in the water tank behind me.
**[10:29] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi, it looks like I screwed up.
**[10:34] Killer (M)**
It took half a year, including preparation time,
**[10:37] Killer (M)**
until I could carry out this assassination.
**[10:40] Killer (M)**
I had many opportunities to get my target.
**[10:42] Killer (M)**
Nevertheless, the reason why I waited for so long
**[10:44] Killer (M)**
was to make sure my target is completely eliminated.
**[10:47] Killer (M)**
And above all I wanted to ensure my own safety.
**[10:51] Killer (M)**
Information leaks are impossible.
**[10:53] Killer (M)**
I didn't contact anyone and literally waited with bated breath in my shell.
**[11:02] Killer (M)**
And yet...
**[11:03] Killer (M)**
Why was there a leak?!
**[11:05] Killer (M)**
That man...must have figured out Matsudaira's assassination plan!
**[11:11] Killer (M)**
Since the plan's been discovered, there's no way Matsudaira will come to the park.
**[11:16] Killer (M)**
I should escape. However, my body won't move.
**[11:22] Killer (M)**
That man's piercing eyes won't let me.
**[11:25] Killer (M)**
My instincts sense a danger stronger than any I've felt before. This is really bad.
**[11:32] Killer (M)**
He's not an underling of Matsudaira's.
**[11:35] Killer (M)**
Perhaps he's a hired goon. No, he must be better than that.
**[11:42] Killer (M)**
Those eyes are the eyes of a beast...in search of blood and on the hunt for souls.
**[11:50] Killer (M)**
If I break eye contact for even an instant...
**[11:54] ---**
...I'll be killed.
**[12:07] Killer (M)**
He's smiling! In this situation... I'm pointing a gun and he's smiling?! What a man!
**[12:14] Killer (M)**
Provocation! He's provoking me. He seems to want to fight me one-on-one.
**[12:20] Killer (M)**
At this distance, there's no way he can use that wooden sword.
**[12:24] Killer (M)**
He must have some terrible hidden weapon.
**[12:27] Killer (M)**
From his smile, it looks like a bazooka...or a rocket launcher.
**[12:32] Killer (M)**
No, there's a possibility he might even be holding a nuclear missile.
**[12:36] Killer (M)**
If he shoots that kind of thing, I'm done for.
**[12:43] Gintoki**
Oh, Oh! Really...
**[12:48] Killer (M)**
I unconsciously pulled the trigger.
**[12:51] Killer (M)**
It was my instincts from being a killer for so many years.
**[12:54] Killer (M)**
And because I'm a coward, my ability to sense danger...
**[12:58] Killer (M)**
is so strong that my body reacts instinctively before my brain can process it.
**[13:03] Killer (M)**
As if celebrating my victory,
**[13:04] Killer (M)**
I hear Kamekichi making noise in the water tank behind me.
**[13:08] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi, pray for him instead of celebrating for me.
**[13:15] Killer (M)**
A nosebleed?!
**[13:16] Killer (M)**
He has just a nosebleed after being shot?
**[13:20] Killer (M)**
Impossible! It was a rifle! He has a nosebleed after being shot by a rifle?
**[13:23] Killer (M)**
It's not like a dodge ball game in elementary school.
**[13:27] Killer (M)**
Bullets don't work against him! It's unbelievable. What a guy!
**[13:34] Killer (M)**
Against such a monster, I'll face more dangers than one could imagine.
**[13:37] Killer (M)**
I have to find a way to escape!
**[13:42] Killer (M)**
That's...a cop!
**[13:44] Killer (M)**
Impossible!
**[13:46] Woman A**
This is the person who was staring at me.
**[13:49] Officer**
Were you peeking at her?
**[13:52] Killer (M)**
When did he call in reinforcements?
**[13:56] Killer (M)**
He didn't show any signs of contacting them at all.
**[14:00] Gintoki**
No, I wasn't peeking.
**[14:02] Officer**
Your nose is bleeding.
**[14:03] Killer (M)**
I wonder how he could do that...
***SIGN*** [HELP]
**[14:05] Killer (M)**
That's! That bloodstain says, "HELP." Well, at least it looks like it.
**[14:11] Killer (M)**
What a guy!
**[14:13] Killer (M)**
Don't tell me he used his own nosebleed to call in reinforcements!
**[14:17] Gintoki**
But if she leaves the curtains open that wide,
**[14:21] Gintoki**
there's no way I can avoid seeing it, right? So I saw her.
**[14:24] Copper**
That's enough. Come with us to the station.
**[14:26] Gintoki**
*What? Why?!*
**[14:26] Killer (M)**
That's it! He's giving them some kind of order!
**[14:32] Hasegawa**
Excuse me. It's the Oedo Newspaper.
**[14:35] Hasegawa**
Are you subscribing to any newspapers?
**[14:39] Killer (M)**
How stupid!
**[14:41] Hasegawa**
Excuse me!
**[14:42] Killer (M)**
They are not from the newspaper!
**[14:44] Killer (M)**
This is... Does this mean my room is already surrounded by the enemy?!
**[14:50] Killer (M)**
How well prepared! In a situation like this, I can't escape!
**[14:56] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi seems to have noticed my anxiousness,
**[14:58] Killer (M)**
because he isn't making any sounds in the tank behind me.
**[15:01] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi, don't give up until the end!
**[15:05] Killer (M)**
The balcony!
**[15:06] ---**
Now that it's come to this, the only way I can escape is to jump down from the balcony.
**[15:13] Killer (M)**
No...
**[15:14] Killer (M)**
...Impossible! Wh-Why are there so many people here?!
**[15:20] Killer (M)**
All of a sudden... What the hell is going on?!
**[15:24] Killer (M)**
How could he gather so many people?!
**[15:28] Killer (M)**
Everyone looks so hostile and is staring at me!
**[15:31] Women B**
Let me die!
**[15:33] Gintoki**
Hey, you! What are you doing?! Don't be stupid!
**[15:38] Killer (M)**
"Don't be stupid"? You're telling me not to do anything "stupid"?
**[15:43] ---**
But no matter how I look at this situation...
**[15:46] ---**
It's impossible!
**[15:48] Gintoki**
Do you want to die?! Don't move!
**[15:52] Killer (M)**
If I move, I'm done for. But if I don't move, I'm done for.
**[15:57] Gintoki**
I'll come right over! Wait for me!
**[16:00] Killer (M)**
It doesn't matter if I hide in a shell, or come out... Death waits for me anyway.
**[16:05] Killer (M)**
Whether I die bravely or timidly.... No, as a killer, I don't have the right to choose.
**[16:13] Killer (M)**
I'm not sure if Kamekichi noticed my sentiment,
**[16:15] Killer (M)**
but he was crying in the water tank behind me...
**[16:19] Killer (M)**
Huh? Is he crying?
**[16:22] Killer (M)**
He's crying! Eggs!
**[16:25] Killer (M)**
I'm not sure if he knew what the name I gave him meant,
**[16:28] Killer (M)**
but in the water tank behind me, I noticed Kamekichi was actually a female.
***SIGN*** [Note: Kamekichi is a male name.]
**[16:33] Killer (M)**
No... An assassin has no right to choose how he dies.
**[16:38] Killer (M)**
Then I shouldn't die. I'll live forever.
**[16:44] Killer (M)**
I've taken so many lives so timidly until now...
**[16:48] Killer (M)**
...but this time, in order to protect these new lives...
***SIGN*** [I'LL BECOME A COWARD.]
**[16:57] Killer (M)**
When you think you can't win a fight, just run away.
**[17:00] Killer (M)**
Kamekichi, let's take a chance and jump to get
**[17:02] Killer (M)**
to the building on the other side!
**[17:07] Killer (M)**
My shaking stopped before I knew it.
**[17:11] Killer (M)**
We're almost there!
**[17:14] Killer (M)**
Almost...
**[17:26] Man**
He did it!
**[17:27] Woman**
Great job!
**[17:28] Woman C**
She's been saved! Great! It's a miracle!
**[17:31] Man A**
The man under her acted as a cushion!
**[17:32] Woman C**
I've never seen someone as brave as him!
**[17:34] Woman D**
Come on!
**[17:36] Man A**
Hey, we need to move him right away. Let's help this brave man!
***SIGN*** [Metropolitan Police Department]
**[17:41] Matsudaira**
Well...
**[17:43] Matsudaira**
In recognition of your brave actions,
**[17:46] Matsudaira**
we present to you this certificate of appreciation and a gift.
**[17:50] ---**
Bestowed by the Head of the Metropolitan Police, Katakuriko Matsudaira.
**[17:54] Matsudaira**
You did a great job.
**[18:05] Killer (M)**
Whatever...
**[19:38] Ending Creditgintoki**
The next episode... "Even A Hero Has Issues." Duwa!
***SIGN*** [Note: "Duwa" is a spoof of how Ultraman always says "Shuwa" or "Shuwatch" before flying off.]
***SIGN*** [February 14th is Valentine's Day. Gin-san and the others are excited.]
***SIGN*** [A huge piece of chocolate fell from the sky, and the person who dropped it is a huge woman.]
**[19:54] Gintoki**
Okay, next is the King Kong pair. Good luck!
**[20:02] Kagura**
Today's GinTama has ended.
**[20:05] Gintoki**
Yeah, today's GinTama is over.
**[20:08] Shinpachi**
It's not finished yet! There's still five minutes left!
**[20:12] Gintoki**
In a situation like this...
**[20:14] ---**
It's time to read comments from viewers!
**[20:17] Shinpachi**
What's with the "reading comments from viewers"?!
**[20:18] Shinpachi**
It's like it's not an anime show anymore!
**[20:21] Gintoki**
You know, in "Satellite Anime Theater," they also read postcards from viewers.
***SIGN*** [Note: Satellite Anime Theater anime shows are broadcasted on a NHK Broadcasting Satellite.]
**[20:25] Shinpachi**
This is not N(BLEEP)K! We're really in a rut!
***SIGN*** [Note: Bleep covers up NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai aka Japan Broadcasting Corporation).]
**[20:28] Gintoki**
All long-term JUMP anime get stuck in a rut.
**[20:32] Gintoki**
Like BLEEP or BLEEP.
**[20:35] Gintoki**
And if we don't take a breather once in a while, we won't last very long, you know?
**[20:38] Shinpachi**
Who needs to take a breather?
**[20:40] Kagura**
It's not taking a breather, just cutting corners.
**[20:43] Gintoki**
Then let's start!
**[20:45] Gintoki**
The first question is from Hanako Motoki-san from Toyama prefecture.
**[20:49] Gintoki**
"Who cooks the meals at the Odd Jobs?
**[20:51] Gintoki**
Is there anyone amongst the three who can cook decent food?"
**[20:58] Gintoki**
Okay, I'll answer you.
**[21:00] ---**
We take turns.
**[21:01] Gintoki**
Because Shinpachi lives with a sister like her,
**[21:04] Gintoki**
he must of course be able to cook fairly well to survive.
**[21:07] Gintoki**
Even though I, Gin-san, may not look it, I'm actually a very good cook.
**[21:10] Gintoki**
I'm like the "Iron Chef."
**[21:12] Gintoki**
And Kagura usually makes raw eggs on rice or rice with toppings.
**[21:17] Shinpachi**
That's like a meaningless question.
**[21:20] Kagura**
I can make chazuke, too.
***SIGN*** [Note: Chazuke is hot green tea poured over toppings on rice.]
**[21:22] Gintoki**
Well, the next question is from a person with the pen name STT Alpha-san.
**[21:26] ---**
"I have a question. It's about Shinpachi.
**[21:28] ---**
He looks like "the hopeless character with glasses who makes punch lines."
**[21:33] ---**
But he's pretty strong, isn't he? His house is actually a dojo...
**[21:36] ---**
Just, how strong is he?"
**[21:40] ---**
Okay, I'll answer you.
**[21:42] ---**
Shinpachi is very strong because
**[21:45] ---**
there're so many monsters around, but he doesn't look like it.
**[21:47] ---**
When I was in middle school, there was a kid named Kosuke-san,
**[21:50] ---**
who was the school gang leader and one year older than me.
**[21:52] ---**
Shinpachi is about three times stronger than him.
**[21:56] ---**
If there were three Kosuke-sans, seriously, no one would beat them.
**[22:00] ---**
Kosuke-san is really something.
**[22:02] Gintoki**
Although Kosuke-san is a punk, his posture is very proper when he rides his bicycle.
**[22:07] Gintoki**
He holds his back very straight. Kosuke-san is really something.
**[22:09] Shinpachi**
I don't get it! Who's Kosuke-san anyway?!
**[22:11] Shinpachi**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[22:12] Kagura**
Shinpachi is only strong at saying the punch line.
**[22:15] Kagura**
He's basically a hopeless four-eyes.
**[22:18] Gintoki**
Well, the next question is from Kudo-san from Aomori prefecture.
**[22:22] ---**
"In episode 58, Lavi shouted, "These things happen in war!!"
**[22:27] ---**
It looked like he was holding back tears, or was it just my imagination?
**[22:30] ---**
Well, it wasn't just my imagination.
**[22:32] ---**
Please answer like a man. Don't run away, Lavi."
**[22:36] ---**
He was crying. Well, I guess Lavi had many hardships.
**[22:41] ---**
It's like he was trying to convince himself
**[22:43] ---**
that there was nothing he could do about the war.
**[22:49] ---**
Well, I'm not Lavi, so I wouldn't really know.
**[22:53] ---**
Rather than saying I'm not Lavi, I'll say this anime isn't D.Gray-man!
***SIGN*** [Note: D.Gray-man is an ongoing manga in JUMP]
**[22:56] ---**
It says it's addressed to D.Gray-man,
**[22:59] ---**
but this postcard came to us by mistake.
**[23:03] ---**
I'll make sure this postcard is delivered to D.Gray-man.
**[23:07] ---**
So Kudo-san, don't worry about it.
**[23:09] ---**
By the way, I guess you don't watch GinTama, do you?
**[23:12] ---**
You never thought your postcard would be read on this show.
**[23:21] Kagura**
We're really scraping bottom.
**[23:23] Shinpachi**
If this is the best we can come up with, we should just play Otsu-chan's song.
**[23:27] Gintoki**
Oh, yeah! That's it!
**[24:03] Gintoki**
So, we somehow managed.
**[24:04] Shinpachi**
No, no! We're really scraping bottom!
**[24:07] Kagura**
It's much better than dragging it on through the BLEEP and BLEEP.
**[24:11] Gintoki**
Anyway, that was "Long-term Jump Anime is Hard."
**[24:15] Shinpachi**
That's not the title!
***SIGN*** [Totally Naked GinTama]
**[24:22] Shinpachi**
I wonder if tonight's show was all right.
**[24:26] Gintoki**
Well, I guess it was okay.
**[24:27] Kagura**
We're still on the air, by the way.
**[24:29] Gintoki**
Really? Is it still on?
***SIGN*** [So, we changed tonight's schedule. That was Totally Naked GinTama.]
***SIGN*** [Starting next week, we'll get more serious. So please look forward to it.]
