Original subtitles

"Gin-Chan Odd-Jobs-R-Us" Wow, who'd have thought?

The first live-action adaptation was a hit

and now here's the sequel...

Last year we were box office No. 1

But not even close to a Japan Academy Award...

Who's that jerk who won Best Actor?

A guy called Masaki Suda

What? How come?

He has the strangest taste in clothes

So pretentious, he even brought out a CD

His dad wears funny glasses

Say no more!

Masaki Suda is a fine actor

I feel sorry for Shun Oguri

He's done so many movies,

yet never won a single Japan Academy Award

He worked so hard last year, too

"Let Me Eat Your Pan Crust"

It was "Pancreas"

"Pan Crust"

sounds like a documentary about a sad guy working in a bakery

Whatever. Award or not,

we had a huge hit seen by millions

You're right

The Japan Academy Awards are dominated by XXX and XXX

Especially if XXX and XXX are involved

Oh...

I'm sorry to say

but most of that will be bleeped out, I'm sure

More to the point...

The movie's about to start

so let's make a nice introduction

Sure. Please enjoy our Cannes Palme d'Or winning...

Don't lie!

"Shoplifters 2"

You can't do that!

Enjoy "Gintama Shoplifters"

That's not the title!

How about "Detective Gintama - The Truth ls Out There"?

Stop trying to rip-off other hit movies!

Welcome to "Gintama 2: Rules Are Made To Be Broken"

Give me an Academy Award!

Use of recording devices in theaters is a federal offense

Burn the images into your retina. Take the story into your heart

"Just don't do it" Hey, quit fooling around!

Just get on and play the damn movie

"Realm of the Samurai"

That name for our land, is now just a memory

Twenty years ago, alien beings descended to disrupt the peaceful world of Edo

We named them, "Amanto" or "Sky People"

They took over and re-developed our entire city

The Bakufu government became no more than their puppet

Initial attempts were made to expel the invaders

A fearless band of patriots fought the good fight

But after terrible sacrifice they were defeated

Fearing another rebellion, the Amanto banned all swords

And the Samurai sank into irrelevance

I don't give a damn!

Sell a testicle, sell a kidney.

Just get me my cash!

"Ms. Otose"

"Gintoki's landlord, Owner of 'Bar Otose"'

It's just rent, you old hag!

I installed that game on your phone.

Surely we're even?

Are you dreaming?

It's the in-app purchases that have used up all my cash

Like I care!

Shouldn't play games at your age anyway

Look everyone! This is elder abuse!

It's over. We're done

Not by a mile!

Pay the rent!

I'm dying»-

What's her damn problem? It's just 3 months' rent...

Let's get a part-time job

How many times do I tell you?

Working odd jobs is already like that.

Each gig is different

Passively waiting and actively searching are different

Besides, we've had no calls this entire month

Listen, Shinpachi!

Do you have no manly pride?

We heed the summons of the common man

That is the soul of Odd Jobs-R-Us

Yeah, I get that...

I can't think on an empty stomach

Let's eat first, then strategize

Boy, was that delicious

Just one sniff of fish grilling next door

made me so hungry

You ate the rice?

Every single grain?

Five portions of plain rice?

I'll go cook more, right away!

Looks like someone ate our supplies

It was you!

We've got to get a job, Gin-san

No way in hell

okay,

I'll put my guys out to work for us

Your what?

Guys, get to work!

- Yes ma'am! - At your service

"Hostess Bar - Smile"

" Now hiring - Cute girls Good pay - Today only"

I'm sorry about this, Gin-san

But Shinpachi said you guys needed work

Thanks for hiring me alongside my sister

Well, regarding that, how may I say?

The phrase, "You're welcome" comes to mind

In other words, when our top-selling hostess

Miss Tae, here, makes a recommendation,

as it were...as it were...

I feel like I'm in good hands

But...

your girls should make men sick for love. But they're all away, sick themselves?

I sense a lack of professionalism

Begging your pardon, in that regard

How might I put it,

I wonder, wonder, wonder

wonder, wonder...

I might say, "|t's embarrassing" perhaps...

Yes, the word, "embarrassing" comes to mind

So, as a result, with only one girl available to work,

my business model gets co...co...complicated

Co. . .co. . .cock-a-doodle-do

And thus I find myself in this spot of bother

You did well not to get sick, too

"A fool is immune to a cold" they say

That was right on the money. A perfect shot

The angle was just right

Two perfect lines of blood dripping down your nose

"Serves you right" one might say

Actually, I've been doing some thinking

And the thinking is, you can help me

I wonder if you, my friend, I wonder if...

I wonder, wonder, since you know many people

If you'd introduce us to 10 cute girls...

Or.. .OI'...

Or...or 50 maybe...

Or, even...even...

Even...even...

Even 100,

Gin-san, 100 cute girls please

100 of your closest friends... or more, I might need more...

You could summon them with a click of your fingers...

I figure you can do that for me

I'm the one looking for introductions

Here's a cutie, right here!

Tonight we host a top government official

Don't ignore me

It's a rare chance to shine

And to profit

Hey, square face

How many do you need?

Three minimum

Me plus two

Where did she come from?

That was spot on. Perfectly angled

"Ayame Sarutobi"

"Ninja Assassin, Gintoki's stalker"

Perfect timing. Get up, stalker freak

Tonight you work as a hostess

Get your hands off me!

I'm nowhere near you

They wouldn't cast me in the first movie

I didn't even get a walk-on role

At last I'm in the sequel but only as a hostess?

A once-proud assassin

How could you?

Actually I'd be thrilled!

You know how to press my buttons, (Fm-saw.!

She doesn't look like a traditional hostess

but she'll do just like that

Now, just me and her plus one

We need two more, huh?

That's it. I'm going to cry

Greetings

I couldn't help but see your sign

What can he mean?

Did somebody change the wording?

Did someone play a trick and switch the sign?

It said you're looking for cute girls

Yes, that's absolutely accurate

Then why is he here?

What's up, Katsura-san?

This here, Kotaro Katsura

in full make-up, bears more than a resemblance to a cute girl

"He's right"

Meaning?

The Resistance is short of funds

I want to make big bucks as a hostess

Even for a handsome guy like you that's ridiculous

Go for it!

It's no good

We're out of time. The manager's losing his mind

The little girl sobbing, too

You're hired

Boss!

You've got my undying loyalty!

Surprisingly good

Really, really surprising

Surprisingly good

but thinking about it carefully...

How can I put it, two

or even three of them...

will surely be rejected by the clients

Especially the two on the right

They look like something from Gulliver's Travels

So we need a couple of back-ups

Your clients arrive any minute. There's no time!

Please! They're top-paying customers

It's not my problem!

This isn't much of a welcome committee

Don't worry there are plenty of girls inside

Guys, get your asses in here

- See. Everyone's here - Yes

"Katakuriko Matsudaira Edo's Chief of Police"

Welcome, sir

What are you two doing?

There was no choice. We couldn't find anyone else

I'm Ginko

I'm Pachie

Wow, I see a bunch of new faces today

Is it your first time?

I wasn't expecting the Shinsengumi police

If we're found out

we could be arrested for fraud

Gin-san, what do we do?

Welcome, sir

Gin-san!

Don't tell me,

you think your disguise will work?

Make a pointy chin, like this

Do that and they'll never figure it out

They will. Kagura-chan, speak sense to him

I'm Gurako, nice to meet you

She's doing the pointy chin thing, too

Heck, Katsura-san, it's your arch-enemy. You're in a real tight spot

The pointy chin!

I'm Katsurako

My hobby is rap music

It works. The pointy chin deserves respect

It's pointy chin, not porky chin, stupid!

Welcome, shir...

Well, well...here's a nice she-pig

My dear,

how about I jam something else up your nose?

She's awoken his inner sadist

Say no more. The movie will lose its G rating

That's what I like to hear

How come he understood?

Okita, that's enough for today

We're not here for pleasure

Relax, guys. Have a drink

Not on duty, thanks

They're not here to drink? What a relief...

Then what on earth are they doing?

Enjoy yourself, sir. We'll be on guard outside

My Lord...

Gin-san, did you hear that?

I sure did

He just said "My Lord"

No way that

our Lord Barbarian-Conquering Shogun would visit a hostess club

But I distinctly heard "My Lord"

People say "Good Lord" all the time. It's very common

It was "My Lord"

I heard "Milo"

Right, Pachie, no way the Shogun would be here

Sho-chan, let's start drinking

But he just called him "Sho-chan"

Sho-chan is a cute nickname

But won't you tell me your real name?

Barbarian-Conquering Shogun, Shigeshige Tokugawa

You can call me Sho-chan for short

You're too funny

What do you do for a living?

I'm a Barbarian-Conquering Shogun

That's an unusual job, isn't it?

You're in "Sho" business, then

He's the real deal, the Shogun...

Boss!

He's the real deal!

Squads 2 & 3 guard the rear!

Tae-san!

I, lsao Kondo, will guard this club

with all my heart and soul!

He's forgotten who we're guarding

At least he didn't blab the Shogun's name out loud

It's a damn nuisance when the boss takes the Shogun clubbing

The Shogun wanted to see how regular folk live

Then why chose a hostess club?

There are tons of other options

He becomes an easy target for the Resistance

They're after the Amanto

They make no distinction

A puppet ruler makes just as good a target

I see your point

In that case, won't this security

attract unwelcome attention?

That's why I objected to it

If you're that worried do another patrol

An assassin could be out there already

Deputy-Chief, let me come

Yamazaki, stay put

Wig out

Now's the time, the time for action

Here's a chance for the Resistance faction

Here's a chance for the Resistance faction

You traitors get no compassion

Gin-saws nervous.

Even with no Shinsengumi around, his chin's pointy

And Katsura-san, what's with the rap?

So much I don't understand

Time to switch out the girl

The reason being...

she bores me

What? Why do I deserve this?

Look beyond your opinion of rap

Listen to its message to the world!

Rap just doesn't belong in a hostess club

Calm down, Pachie

If this job goes well, we'll make bank.

Enough for 10 years' rent

But there's a risk, too

Mess up and we lose our heads

So calm the hell down!

Says the guy freaking out

Luckily those dumb broads haven't realized

Don't say a word about the Shogun

We daren't risk failure now

Hey, girl with the pointy chin

and the pig-tailed four-eyes, last-pupil-in-abandoned-school type

Get over here

Does he mean us?

Who else could it be?

And Gintoki...

Your dick's way too obvious

This is all such a pain in the ass

Ouch

What the hell's this?

Well, if it isn't Toshiro Hijikata Deputy-Chief of the Shinsengumi

Just as I suspected...

We attracted too much attention after all

What's your problem?

Samurai who sold his soul to the Amanto

A traitor working for favors

We are anti-foreigner patriots ready to bring divine justice!

And I'm here to protect the Shogun

and I'm sorry to say I shall not leave a man standing

Let's go!

My apologies!

What the hell's this?

What on earth am I doing?

My body's not my own

I'm so sorry!

I beg you, at least spare my life

I'll even lick the soles of your sandals

My mouth's out of control

Who is this lame weakling?

Is this the much-feared Deputy-Chief? The so-called Duelling Demon?

What a wretch!

I don't understand what's going on...

This makes no sense, but it's a great chance

to pay back the many "kindnesses" he has done us

Go ahead, lick our soles

Bastards!

I've no idea what's happening

but I won't take this...

Please accept this humble token. There's 3,000 yen in here

But leave my DVD club card or I lose my rental privileges

You had us for a moment there!

What a pathetic amount

It's no good

I must be totally losing my mind

We'll do a party game

Let the fun begin

We'll play "On the King's Orders"

but switch Shogun for King

I expect you'll turn it into something sexual

No, I'll just MC. I'll let Sho-chan have fun with you youngsters

If you draw the "Shogun" chopstick...

Sir, allow me that task.

I wouldn't want your hands to be overburdened

How considerate of you

Miss Pig-Tailed Four-Eyes

Yes!

Good work, Shinpachi

Make sure the Shogun wins

Shogun“.

Take your pick!

Why are they taking it so seriously?

That was quick

Who drew the Shogun chopstick?

My turn to be Shogun

Smart work,

getting the stick so you can make it Shogun's turn

That doesn't make sense...

Let me see...

Whoever is No. 4, strip to your underwear

I see, you're trying to entertain the Shogun.

Exceflenfl

This can't be happening!

Why did the jerk get No. 4?

That's his angry face, for sure

To make it worse, today's his "tighty-whitey" day

For generations, we Shoguns

have favored tighty-whities

Shit, he heard me. But why tighty-whities?

We've got to get his clothes back or our heads'll be on stakes

We must draw the long stick

Great, now it's my turn

I still haven't had a go

Why'd you start without us?

Let me think...

Whoever is No. 3...

gives his or her clothes

to whoever looks coldest

Sis' you know exactly what to do

You're right on the money, I love you!

This can't be happening!

Heck, our film gets porn-pixels already?

This'll be cut from the Chinese release

He's a big fish but down below, he's small fry

For generations, we Shoguns

have been small fry down below

Heck, he heard me. My neck's on the block for sure

These smell. Can I take 'em off?

Oh, no!

He's offended. That's crying, right?

It's time we made a run for it!

Bingo, my turn at last!

How did that happen?

No. 5 heads to the store to buy a pair of tighty-whities

Kagura!

Typical Odd Jobs initiative! You read the situation perfectly

I won't be long

This really can't be happening!

Damn. This is going to end badly

I recognize that uniform

I recognize that swordsmanship

It's you...

I come to deal with a bunch of Ronin thugs only to find you in a tight spot

What are you doing here?

Hijikata-kun

"Shinsengumi Police H.Q."

Let's toast to celebrate the return of Kamotaro Ito

Kanpau

Kanpau

lto-sensei, sorry I was so busy on the day of your return

What's up with our Lord Shogun?

Oh, we just accompanied him and the boss on a little outing

The higher-ups care nothing for the sorrows of us underlings

They're carefree and ignorant of the Resistance's threat

Of course they mean no harm

Kondo-san

With men like that, the Bakufu will be the country's downfall

We mustn't sit around like this

We must set our sights high and forge ahead

Like a sword, we must cut through confusion

to rescue our misguided nation

This is the mission of all true born Samurai

In this regard, I pledge my life

to be offered up in this cause

Kondo-san, let's do our utmost!

Certainly

But why does he call him "sensei"?

He's a relative newcomer

Yet he was given the title of "Military Advisor"

That makes sense, though. He's smart, good at his job...

He's also a highly-ranked Hokuto swordsman

The Deputy-Chief's smart, too

but only as a military strategist

Ito's the only one who can handle the politics

Sensei, you've learned to hold your drink, too

Kondo-san

Will you stop calling that guy, "sensei"

If I ask a man to share his wisdom what's wrong with "sensei"?

Hijikata-kun

I've got a question for you

What a coincidence. Same here

-You... -You...

You hate me, right?

Although I'm a newcomer Kondo-san took a liking to me

Now my speedy ascent is a threat to your position

You detest the sight of me

I could say the same

You're desperate to move up but I'm established above you

In your imagination, maybe

You barely cross my mind

I'm glad we cleared up that mutual misunderstanding

To say I detest the sight of you

doesn't begin to describe it

One day, I will kill you myself

"The Topknots Top Shop"

"Menu: Topknots, Tonsures, Ear-Cleaning"

It's weird to be

minding the store while the barber takes a vacation

After that near-miss at the club

it's safer to lay-low

Let's take these small jobs and save our pennies

No, what I mean is,

it's strange to be put in charge although we're not certified

This place has every volume of the Golgo 17 manga

I could spend days here

The barber just wants the place to look open

We just have to hang out

That trendy salon opened up across the street

so there's no chance of any customers

He should take a proper break, then

But volume 18 is missing

Gin-chan, where is it?

Who cares? It's probably just misfiled

Shinpachi, help me look

Kagura, we're here to work

Heck!

Hey, guys...

Hello and welcome...

What's up with them?

Why're they snooping around?

I'm returning volume 18 of Golgo 17

Huh?

He ain't here?

Don't tell me...

Katakuriko, what is this place?

It's where I always get my hair done

I wanted to introduce my buddy but he's out

That's too bad

Shall we hit the hostess club again?

What's happening here?

How's the topknot styling here?

How come they're following us?

Don't tell me...

Might I trouble you

to redo my topknot?

This can't be happening!!

Uh-oh

The boss has gone to party by himself

Is it okay to leave the Shogun alone there?

He'd only whine that we prevent him seeing how regular folk live

"Fill your heart with big dreams"

"Come shine along with us"

Since when did you watch that crap?

What's come over me?

It's not good, you know

You've been breaking the Shinsengumi code, left and right

The code of conduct you yourself instituted

Your phone rings in briefings... You buy anime figures online...

You released those suspects the other day

because they were anime fans...

Also...

Everyone knows about last night

I knew that bastard wouldn't keep quiet

I suddenly turn into a different person

No, not a different person...

Everyone has a weak side

Mine suddenly takes over sometimes

What do you mean? You've always been lame

You're right

I've been kinda lame all along

Hello, hello. He's acting weird

What are you saying?

Is that the reason you quarreled with Kondo-san last night?

Not really...

I wish that was the case

You claim Ito's trying to take over the Shinsengumi?

In any case, he's starting

to usurp your authority

Toshi, I regard him as a vital part of Shinsengumi's future

Kondo-san, you haven't got a clue

Our group needs more than fine sentiments

I wonder what's caused this?

Actually...

On patrol last night, I got bitten and my neck hurts ever since

Really? Show me

What is it?

A new bug species spreading lame behavior

I'll guard the Shogun. You go home

Stay away from me or Ito will get suspicious

Okay, if you insist...

Hijikata-san, there is one favor I want to ask

Dare we do his hair with no cosmetology license?

One false move...

and three heads will roll

Thar she blows!

This is pathetic

Shogun or not, all hair's the same

- I'll do it - You sure?

Welcome, sir

How would you like it, today? Flat top? Undercut?

Or how about...

She's puking, too!

What the hell? Do you want us dead?

The smell of Shinpachi's sick set me off

What if you'd barfed on the Shogun?

My topknot...

Would you please re-do it,

with a clean shave on top?

Certainly, sir...

He wants a shave

A shave and a re-do...who's up for it?

I'm shaking too much so I must humbly decline

- I'll do it - Really?

- No more puking, though - Leave it to me

She knows what she's doing

Wonder if she used to cut her dad's hair?

That's quite likely

Nice work...

Looking good...

What's that?

I wonder...

Let me think...

Well, it looks like...

the Shogun's...

Keep this place clean, for chrissakes!

There's Golden Retriever poop lying around!

No way!

It was totally the Shogun's topknot

Although you hid the evidence with blinding speed

No! It was definitely Golden Retriever poop

Color-wise, size-wise,

no doubt it was Golden Retriever poop

Nothing more, nothing less

Where is this Golden Retriever?

It's okay

It's going to be fine

He just had a trim. A little off the top

There's enough left to gather and re-tie

And now to re-tie it, sir

It's not nearly long enough!

It's just impossible!

There's plenty

I just need to...

pull it a little

Gin-san!

The Shogun's crying!

He's past the limit

He's way past it

Stop, I beg you!

The poor man!

Gin-san, stop, you're hurting him!

His eyes...

There, all re-tied

He looks totally different!

It's tight as a drum!

Hang on...

He must like it, he's smiling

No, we've just pulled his face rigid!

Sir, we're very sorry. We'll fix it right away

What do you mean, fix it?

Go find the topknot.

We'll find a way to stick it back on

Got it!

It's not here

It's gone

Gin-Chan, I found it

Well done, Kagura

Why the pixellation?

And why does it smell?

Golden Retriever poop's not easy to find

Toshi's late. We're way beyond schedule

I told him it's important...

Kondo-san, this is a good chance. I was meaning to discuss him

I think you've all heard about his recent misdeeds

He's been breaking the strict codes of conduct he himself instituted

Now he's late for this crucial meeting

Turning a blind eye sets a bad example

I know Toshi. There must be some reason behind it

I'm not just talking about this meeting

I don't discredit his service to the organization

Nor do I deny Shinsengumi's debt to him

But that is why I wish to be firm and frank

As an iconic member,

he must lead by example

If he flaunts the rules then others will too

A wolf pack without order is easily scattered

He thus deserves a harsh punishment

Kondo-san, time for decisive action

Wait, Toshi is bound to...

Sorry I'm late, Okita-san!

Scored a rare Dragon Quest game downtown

Plus the new One Piece manga's totally sold out

But I just found it nearby!

Heck, I've been duped

These bastards...

they're ganging up on me

"Otaku Summit - Live Debate"

"MC:Sonosuke Tahara" NEETs, shut-ins, the socially dysfunctional

The number of apathetic youngsters is on the rise

Look at the numbers of otaku, all potentially dysfunctional

Today we have gathered 100 of these self-proclaimed otaku

What are their attitudes to life?

What drives their retreat from society?

Let's take an in-depth look

It's no use

"Guide to Edo's Well-paid Temp Jobs" Wherever we go I fear

the Shogun will turn up

Oh, no. It's started

What's going on?

Got to record Shinpachi's brave stand

Shinpachi, right...

He's not coming to work today. Can't blame him...

What to do about the damn rent?

Gathered in the studio today

we have otaku from the worlds of both anime and idols

to engage in a full and frank discussion

Please raise a hand if you have something to say

No. 53, you were first

First off...

You must re-think the idea that

we're all socially dysfunctional

"|do| otaku: Shinpachi Shimura" Many of us work

and fully engage with society

He's right

What the hell's he doing?

He's the chairman of the Tsu Terakado fan club

But since when is he out in the open like this?

It's the same as pursuing any other hobby.

"Idol otaku: Taisa Akiba" We're not socially apathetic at all

I see. No. 31, what's your opinion?

By scapegoating us otaku

this program's basic stance of blaming us

- for Japan's problems... - Yep, got your point

Uh-oh, he's being really annoying

The audience will turn on him for sure

No. 31 what's your reply to No. 53?

And lumping all otaku together is wrong, too

It's getting impassioned!

He should quit while he's ahead

I need to record this. Work, you piece of junk

We follow idol singers who actually exist in reality

What's odd is

those guys who idolize girls from the 2D worlds of games or anime

Hey,

"Anime otaku: Hideyoshi Oda" No. 53, what are you saying?

Your yearning will always be in vain

So it's just a waste of time, right?

Get lost.

"Anime otaku: Kumagor0" Sonoka-chan lives in my heart

I'd like to raise an objection if I may

According

"Anime otaku: Tosshi" to No. 53

are dealing with reality as opposed to us 2D guys

Then let me ask him...

if you support an idol,

do you think you can marry her?

Well, that's...

It's impossible, right?

So 2D or 3D, the love is still unattainable

so we're in the same boat

No, no, no, no...

It's different, totally different

Honestly speaking, yes, marriage is highly unlikely

But not 100% impossible like for you

Sure it is

Totally

Not at all, she exists at least

Your belief in the impossible proves my point

How dare you be so rude to our chairman!

Get 'em!

The 3D'ers and the 2D'ers are going at it!

Whoever that guy is, I hate him

Get him!

It's embarrassing to watch otaku fighting

I couldn't record it with this damn thing

Size-wise it was never going to fit!

Hang on...

That guy looks familiar...

Okita-kun, I never imagined you'd come over to my side

You've all been friends since before the Shinsengumi

I believed you were on Team Hijikata

Team Hijikata?

Does such a faction exist? It's news to me

A smart man. What are you after?

The Deputy-Chief's post, of course

That role...

is yours, I promise

Are you sure that's wise?

As if I care about that position

But what was the point of defeating Hijikata?

Shinohara-kun...

You think I began that stupid power struggle

just so I could attain the position of mere Deputy-Chief?

You don't understand me, either, huh?

What's the greatest misfortune for a warrior?

It's to be misunderstood

No matter what your ability...

no matter your effort

If you're misunderstood, then you never get the credit you deserve

I have never been truly understood

Even as a child prodigy in school

Or as a master swordsman

or when appointed sensei

Or even when I hung out with the Resistance

Wherever I've been I've never fulfilled my true capacity

Who'd have thought...

I would find it here

My biggest misfortune is that my enemy

is the one who understands me best

With Hijikata gone...

all that remains

is to assassinate lsao Kondo

Then Shinsengumi will be mine

He's up to no-good

I must tell the Deputy-Chief

Sorry about that. I never imagined you'd be there

Hijikata-san

Don't worry

The main thing is

this rare 1/8th scale figurine of Sonoka Kozai is safe

if I may...

Are you really Hijikata-san?

What are you talking about, Mr. Sakata

Mr.?

As you can see

"Toshiro Hijikata" lam the one and only Toshiro Hijikata

One and only?

Ah, Ms. Kagura

That's a cosplay of Papaya the Chinese Girl, huh?

It's a pretty good reproduction

Wonder if you'd let me take some snaps?

Stand here, please

Okay

Here we go

Oh, you look so cute

Cute!

Why's she playing coy?

Give me a little more Papaya...a little more...

Nice Papaya line, gorgeous...

Papaya line, yep, that's lovely

- Thanks - Papaya

The camera's on fire. You're making it so hot!

Okay, a one in a million look, okay?

The famous pose...

There she is!

That's what I was waiting for

Thanks!

Thank you so much

Let's do Love Punk cosplay next time

Okay? That'd just make me so, so happy

Thanks, cutey

Hijikata-san?

What is it, Mr. Shimura?

Why aren't you on duty today?

On duty?

I got fired from the Shinsengumi

You're not with the Shinsengumi? How come?!

I got sick of the office politics

It was dangerous work, too

I'm figuring out a way to live without working

To have a job is to give up

He's a NEET. That's textbook NEET thinking

Right, you guys are like NEETs, too

How dare you? We bust our asses all over town!

Oh, I meant to ask you

You're into manga, right?

I started this Love Punk fanzine

Want to join me and make cash at Comic-Con?

Who'd buy this childish crap?

Gin-san, what do we do?

Do people change so much in such a short time?

To think he was once so feared

"Gengai's Lab"

Well, well, how interesting

At the base of his neck

Right at the base, a chip has been implanted

Let me see...

"Lame-o Otaku Type" it says

A chip?

It was an early Amanto project

An attempt at human pacification via mind control

How can I put it?

A chip to dampen our aggressive instinct

You could say they implanted them in our spines...

to make us spineless

Why the past tense?

- They gave up - Why?

How can I put it?

They figured, "there's too many"

"We can't chip the entire population," they said

"Way too many of 'em" they said

"Oh, too many, right?" they said "Oh" they said, "Ohh"

Then they discussed just chipping the Resistance fighters

Then thought, "|t'd be quicker to just kill 'em"

"Right? Killing 'em's quicker, eh?"

"Ohhh," they said. "Ohhhhh," and all agreed

"Ohhhh" they nodded. "Ohhh"

Then saying, "Ohhh," they all calmed down and that was that

I know that feeling

A friend at Weekly Bunshun told me

several chips were stolen from the lab

That's such a good magazine

Like when Lupin breaks in to Cag|iostro's castle,

steals the Gothic Bills,

gets shot and then he's rescued by Clarisse?

What's he talking about?

Annoying, isn't it?

Anyway, let's bust that chip

Forget it, no way

No doctor could do it.

The chip's fused to his spine

Take it out and "snap" his nerves are ruined

Even for the world's best doctor it'd be impossible

- I can do it - He can do it

But you're expensive. How much?

- I want 200 million yen - He wants 200 million

- Do you have it? - Nope

- Then I won't do it - He won't do it

Isn't he that forensics guy on TV?

Isn't there a way to cure his lameness?

There's just one thing

Ito's going to kill Kondo-san

I must warn him straight away

They may target the Deputy-Chief, too

You...

It's no use. I can't do it

I'm just pathetic

He's no good. Get the other pilot

Tosshi, time to go

The future of mankind is in your hands

No, I'm scared. I want to run

Why does it have to be me?

It's really no use. Get the other pilot

Professor, don't ask him. Let me do it

Tosshi, are you sure?

He'll be fine. He's totally capable

He used to be called the Duelling Demon

He's more like a Dachshund than a Demon now

Tosshi, I'll take your place

Tosshi, don't be so indecisive!

Attack, quick

I don't know how to attack

I'm going to run. I can't do this

Tosshi, don't give up

He's totally useless

Then you deserve to die

He's so lame

I don't care. I can't do it

I'm scared of fighting

I want to go back to watching anime

This chip is a tough one

I don't think I can undo it

It was the best shot at curing lameness

We'll be in trouble with XX for this

You're smoking?

So you're back to normal?

Great, the old guy did it

No, it's not what you think

This is my final cigarette

It marks farewell to Toshiro Hijikata

In a few minutes, my persona will be hijacked by the chip

I'm losing my marbles after all...

Whatever...

One last chance... I may be clutching at straws but...

Listen, there's no time so I'll only say this once

I've got one last request

I'm asking you

My beloved Shinsengumi...

Our Shinsengumi...

Protect it for me...

You're the legendary swordsman

Bansai Kawakami...

The "Killer of 1000 men" is real after all...

I'm now Bansai

of the Kiheitai

Kiheitai?

Ito...

You bastard. You're in league with the Kiheitai?

Yamazaki-kun, mutual butchery will not change the world

We should all be able to get along better

For mutual profit and to maintain balance

With your boss in command

the Shinsengumi will never grow stronger

Under my control, it will be reborn

growing larger and gaining power

I, Kamotaro Ito, will demonstrate my capacities to the world

Do what you want

I'm not too sure about your capacity

You've no capacity for bushido or moral codes

No one will follow you

'H..-

...follow those guys

until the very end

Crawling back to Hijikata to tattletale

So is that part of your bushido?

Bansai, I leave him to you

I give you the honor of dying against a tough opponent

You'll be happy to have such a bushido-worthy end

I'll make sure your superiors know

Actually that won't be necessary

They'll be following you soon enough

Something's up within the Shinsengumi

The weird chip implant...he gets fired...

Whatever...

It's none of our business. Let's not get involved any further

But how come Hijikata-san, of all people, asked us for help?

That incredibly proud man

who's always been your bitter rival...

He put aside pride and shame to beg you so it must be a huge deal

Excuse me, Mr. Sakata...

Today a really rare Love Punk figurine is going on sale

It's limited to one per customer

But in my case

I want one to look at, one to keep

...and one to "use", so I need three

So I hereby order you

to come with me to get it

I was just explaining how you never ask for help

Have you no shame?

What's the third figurine for?

Too gross to think about

I was stupid to feel sorry for you!

Deputy-chief!

Bad news, Deputy-Chief!

Come back to the squad immediately

What happened?

It's Yamazaki-san

Somebody murdered Yamazaki-san

Yamazaki-san?

We're still looking for the killer

Anyway, let's head back to HQ

But I got fired

There's no time to discuss. Come on, quick

You'll join Yamazaki...

Ouch...Mr. Sakata

My shirts pinching my neck!

My arms might rip off like when Gundam fought Zeong

Shut the hell up!

What's going on?

Why's the Shinsengumi trying to kill him?

Wow, Ms. Kagura, you're amazing!

It's like the return of Miss Arale in Dr. Slump

Shut up!

Someone make him be quiet!

This is Squad 3. Come in. Over

Did you locate Hijikata?

We did but we were no match for his cute yet strong sidekick

- Over and over - What?

Kill him by whatever means necessary

Kondo's death's meaningless if Hijikata survives

Remove all impediments before Kondo's assassination

With Kondo and Hijikata gone, Shinsengumi will fall under Ito's control

Assassinate Kondo-san and Hijikata-san?

Make it look like an act of the Resistance

If our plans gets discovered now,

the Shinsengumi will be torn in two

As planned, Kondo's on the booby-trapped train

Which train is that?

Didn't you listen to the brief?

He thinks we've been despatched to guard the Shogun at some hot springs

The Shogun again!

It's a lie, of course

The idiot totally believed it, though

He's surrounded by our people

He's alone. He's on the road to hell

This train goes through Bushu, right?

That's where Toshi, Okita and I grew up

It was a tough place and we always got into fights

Come to think of it, we're not so different now

Sometimes I worry

Have I become a better person since then?

Have I made any progress?

You're a splendid Samurai

I never met a man with more integrity

In a sense you are so pure

You're like a white cloth...

to be dyed any color, accepting anything

The Shinsengumi is...

...like a flag made of such cloth

...onto which all may project their colors

Conversely, my color is black

I don't accept other colors and I overpower them

Kondo-san, I'm sorry...

your flag has turned pitch black

Typical of you to have such interesting ideas

You say we've become pitch black?

I see. If I were really white, that may be so

However, in my case

I'm more like a pube-ridden loincloth

A white flag onto which others project their colors?

I don't think they're that naive

Your thugs may be different but the rest of the guys,

they can't be defined as a single color

They're more like grime

The kind of grime no amount of washing will remove

The stubborn stain of experience that'll never come out

My problem is that I've grown so fond of them

But, Sensei...

the grime of life accumulates then forms a pattern

Before you know it, it's formed a splendid banner

They're uneducated, they have no ideals

Driven by emotion more than logic

They're a mysterious and unfathomable bunch

SenseL

they're beyond your control

No paint can cover them up

No dye will affect them

Okita-kun, what are you doing?

You should be on guard duty

What are YOU doing?

I'm asking a question, you piece of crap

Let him go

Okita-kun

How dare you talk like that...

I said, let him go!

Okita...

Okita-kun

You were with Hijikata after all

You were just a spy keeping tabs on me

Your betrayal of him was just an act of deception

That wasn't an act

I told you...

My eyes are fixed on one prize:to be Deputy-Chief

I'll cut down anyone in my way

Hijikata's been dealt with

Next...

It's you, Ito-sensei

I won't work for either of you

I have only one boss

Out of the way!

The position alongside Kondo

is mine

How despicable

You use me to get rid of Hijikata

and now you get rid of me

That chip seems to have cost me dear

Looks like I'm going to have to ask you to contribute

I'll pay you back in memories for your afterlife

Sounds good

My target...is the Chief

At this rate, Kondo-san will be assassinated!

Hijikata-san?

Pull yourself together, Hijikata-san!

It's none of my business

At this rate, everything and everyone you hold dear

could be completely lost forever

Gin-Chan, what should we do?

Our Shinsengumi...

Protect it for me...

Kagura, patch us through to HQ and every car

Aye, aye, sir

Hi, there, can you hear me?

All you tax thieves...

to Ito's guys and mayonnaise lovers both

To each and every one of you

Leave your posts now and report to Kondo's train immediately

Dilly-dally and your boss may lose his head

This is an order

Detractors may commit seppuku for lacking bushido

Is this a prank? Who is this?

Who do you think this is? Who, huh?

This is Shinsengumi Deputy-Chief...

Toshiro Hijikata, damn it!

I'm sick at the sight of the coward

So if the Shinsengumi is going down you can go with 'em

I'll happily send you to your grave

No way! I'm not going

Don't turn tail and dump all the problems on some other bastard

Since when are you so needy?

Since when do you get others to fight your battles?

Go out with a bang, swinging your sword fighting for the Shinsengumi you love!

That's the true Toshiro Hijikata!

Bastard...

That goddamn hurts!

Could it be?

Hijikata-san?

The train's on fire. Staying here is risky

Don't stop the train

If we stop, Kondo will escape

They're alone on this train and surrounded

As long as we keep moving they're rats in a barrel

Sorry, Okita. It's all my fault this happened

How can I make it up to you? How can I...

How can I apologize to Toshi?

Okita, don't...open up!

Kondo-san...

If you die, the battle is lost. Stay there, please

No way! Open up!

Kondo-san

How many times have I told you? You're too trusting of people

You believe everyone without suspicion

So you end up making your bed with a snake like Ito

I expected this would happen sooner or later

What are you doing, Okita!

Stop this, Okita!

But it's also because

of that we rally around you

It's because you are who you are

we fight alongside you

Because of who you are

I risk my life to protect you

Okita!

If I lose you, |'||...|'||...

Okita!

Ito-sensei, the front car has decoupled

Power up the rear carriage. Don't let Kondo escape

Okita-kun

I thought you'd be smarter

You plan on fighting us all?

Is the idea to save Kondo then die

an outnumbered hero's death?

Sadly, Kondo will die just as I have planned

We're not alone on this battleground

The Kiheitai, huh?

Sorry, Ito-san. Actually I'm not alone either

Who's that?

That's...

It can't be...That's...

Stop in the name of the law!

You bastards are under arrest!

Hijikata?!

How come he made it here?

Ouch! I'm scared!

You wimp

Couldn't you just pretend a little longer?

To raise morale, at least?

To show the Deputy-Chief's still alive and kicking?

Why are you only brave when you're mad at me?

It's impossible

I don't have it in me

Mr. Sakata, you handle it please

Someone's here to spoil your fun

You can't stop them even with an army

Hijikata...

They've joined the game too late

You're all doomed. Kondo, too

It's you guys who are doomed

I see some faces I know

Switching sides means you're resigned to die

Shinsengumi Regulations, Article 21...

"Conspiracy will be severely punished"

Every one of you

will meet my justice

Don't you see the situation you're in?

Now, I'm the faction in power

You're the outlaw and a solitary one at that

Hijikata's regulations are now rendered meaningless

Your Shinsengumi will disappear

Liquidate him. I'll go after Kondo

I, Captain, 1st Squad, Shinsengumi, shall impart one final lesson

"Faced with an enemy considerably more powerful"

"overwhelm his strength with numerical advantage"

"Synchronize your breathing"

"Marshal reserves of chi within"

"Chose the optimal moment"

"Attack all at once!"

And...

then you die

BansaL“

The perfect time is upon us

I'm aware of that

Just as planned, there are no guards in Edo

Kamotaro Ito...

He's quite a talented man

It's a perfect opportunity

Go take care of the Shogun

Where's the Chief?

"Oedo PD" We're going to kill you!

Shinpachi!

Tonight, shall we try a different hostess club?

Katakuriko...

ls a hostess club our only option for fun?

Yep

Uh-oh. The road's blocked

This might hamper our club plans...

Stop here, buddy

Well, well...

If it ain't Bansai the Killer

I might have to arrest you for loitering

You idiot...

Why are you...

Why are you here?

I fired you from the group. Why did you come all this way?

ToshH

Why did you come?

You idiot!

Kondo-san, are you all right?

No, that's one dead gorilla lying there

What the hell, guys?

He's up. He's fine

Apparently, someone wants you dead

You almost succeeded just then, for chrissakes!

What are you doing on our side?

It makes no sense that you're helping us

It was his dying wish

His dying wish?

His soul's been subverted by a chip implant

He's now just a lame otaku

He'll never be the same again

A chip in his brain?

While he was in that state, what did he ask you?

For us to protect the Shinsengumi

I dragged him here so he could do it himself

So our job's done. I'll charge a hefty fee, though

Mr. Odd Jobs...

I have a request for you, too

Consider this my last wish, if you will...

What about my money?

Take Toshi and get out of here

It's all my fault that this happened

In his current state, I don't want to involve Toshi

I ignored his advice to be wary of Ito

Then I listened to Ito and punished Toshi for a trivial offence

I had no idea...

what had happened to him...

I had no idea, that in that state

he tried to protect the Shinsengumi

I had no idea that a man of such pride

would lower his head

and entrust the Shinsengumi to another

I'm sorry, Toshi

I'm sorry, everyone

I'm...

What a total fool I've been

Tell all the cars to quit the fight immediately

lsao Kondo has fallen in battle

I can't bear my friends fighting one another anymore

Gentlemen of Yamato,

our boss, lsao Kondo has been safely rescued

Victory is within our grasp

They besmirch his name

Let us take revenge on these deplorables

I tell you this, they are but scum!

We shall bring down divine vengeance!

Get lost!

Who's that talking such nonsense?

Who do you think?

I'm the Shinsengumi Deputy-Chief

Toshiro Hijikata!

Hijikata-san?

Mr. Kondo

We entrust our lives to you

In return, you have an obligation to fulfill

That is...

you must not die

Do whatever it takes to survive

No matter what humiliation may come, no matter how many warriors fall before you

You must survive at all cost

As long as you live, the Shinsengumi will not end

Kondo-san...

You are the soul of the Shinsengumi

We are the sword that protects you

ToshL"

A sword once broken, never has worth again

It cost me a lot to turn you into a lame otaku

But you made it this far, so now I have to settle things

It was you...

It was you who made me like this...

Draw your sword if you dare

Hijikata-san

Even an otaku must find it in himself to fight

Draw your sword, you jerk!

Quit messing around and get it done

Shut the hell up!

I can do it. I will draw

I summon worldwide Spirit Bombs!

Give me power!

Mr. Odd Jobs

What is it?

I heard your stinking sermon

You love the sound of your own voice

I just have one thing to say

Thank you!

Well, well. Tosshi has returned

Is that Tosshi?

Me...

lam Toshiro Hijikata!

If you want Kondo's head, you have to kill me first

Not a soul shall pass

Not a single one

will besmirch our honor

I'm the last bastion protecting lsao Kondo!

Deputy-Chief of the Shinsengumi...

Toshiro Hijikata!

Bring it on!

This is the final showdown!

It's a big deal to pick a fight

with the Chief of Police

I acknowledge you've got balls

However...

a single word from me will summon the entire Shinsengumi

I missed the button...

Calling all officers

I'm hanging with Sho-chan in Kabukicho

but somehow I'm surrounded by the Kiheitai

All units on me, immediately

Okay, next we hear sirens...

Or maybe not

The Shinsengumi are on vacation at a hot spring

Oh, I see...

In that case, I'll take you on myself

Okay, okay...

Get a little tighter together

Relax! Give me a smile

Here I go

Say, cheese

Time to switch

I'm sorry to cause such trouble

When men play with fire, there's always the risk of a burn

It's no use running away

You boys...

you're well trained

I'm impressed

Hey...

Women and children don't belong here

If you tire that easily you're not such a scary sadist

I couldn't help but go easy on my former colleagues

A wound like that'll heal at the hot springs

Mind your own business

Charge!

Watch what you're doing

...but somehow I'm surrounded by the Kiheitai

All units on me, immediately

Gin-san...it's the Shogun...

Uh-oh, is that right?

Takasugi, the jerk...

Edo and the Shogun are in danger

But we've no obligation to protect him

If the Shogun dies, Takasugi will invade

What am I supposed to do?

"Sorry, we're late!"

Kotaro Katsura!

Not that I'm siding with the Shinsengumi

but I can't allow the Kiheitai free rein

I'll back you up

Takasugi is planning to attack Edo...

Hey, Elizabeth! I was about to say something really cool!

Elizabeth!

Leave this to them. Let's rush back to Edo

Well, it won't be quick. We're pretty far out in the sticks

Gintoki!

Gintoki, get aboard!

You'll be back in Edo, swift as the wind!

"Gintoki"

Gintoki!

Gintoki, hop on!

"Gintoki"

"Edo Castle"

Are you sure this is legit?

What's the issue? It's a raccoon

See. He's washing an apple

It's a perfect homage to...

Quick, let's go find Mei

He said it, not me

"My Neighbor xxx"

This is bad!

But so is this!

What happened here?

I kinda went beyond the call of duty

I wonder if I'll get overtime

Okita!

Welcome

I heard talk of a bunch of idiots looking to kill the Shogun

So I was wandering about with a kagemusha double

Thanks for taking the bait

Without the Shinsengumi are you in a position to boast?

Seems like the Chief was abducted somehow

The guys are top-class but if they lose their leader...

they lose their direction, it's true

What a great plan you had. I salute you

My orders are to assassinate the Shogun

I'm taking his head, even if it means every one of your men dies

Spoken like a true "Killer of 1000 Men"

Isn't this going to be fun?

Opps ...

That was interesting...

So this is what the castle's like inside?

Connected to the Amanto HQ. Fit for a puppet government

So, now to face-off against this dandified old geezer

Bring it!

The Bakufu's powerless. You won't be sorry to see it fall

You can head to hell with no regrets

Get it over with then

I've no idea how good you are but he's not a worthy opponent

Here, take this

It's one of our uniforms, right?

Your guys put me to a great deal of trouble back there

Wire a bunch of cash here. I got to make the rent

I know you can read that

My eyes are going

You can read it

I wrote it big

Let's see

I used to have perfect vision as a lad,

then I reached 45...

Wait up a sec

That pointy chin reminds me of a girl I met in a club

You're mistaken

- And a barber - Mistaken again!

Step back. I'll deal with the assassin

Don't take it too seriously. That's just a kagemusha double

That figures

If you'd taken the real Shogun around town, you'd lose your job

Take it away, sir

Broadcasting live from Hakone Hot Springs

You anticipated our plan

and sent him off to Hakone, huh?

That was a pretty smart move

What do you think?

I had what's called "a makeover"

It was the real guy after all!

Shigeshige's Hidden Hot Spring Tour

This bath I call, "Shogun's Special"

The mineral content is...

Sorry but I'll leave him to you

Okay, let's head to a hostess club

Excuse us

Where are you going?

Let's try something different today

Going clubbing again?

Hey...

So you sided with Takasugi, eh?

This has thrown off my rhythm

I'm calling off the assassination

But I will kill you before I leave

Headphones off when you address me!

How were you raised? I hate your clothes, too...

Gintoki Sakata...

or should I say, "White Demon"

Why are you with the Shinsengumi?

You can hear me after all

What does Ito plan to do once he controls Shinsengumi?

And what's behind the plan to kill the Shogun, as well?

The Kiheitai doesn't tolerate those who readily betray others

We also know that a man who breaks his word commands no loyalty

So Ito is just a tool to draw the Shinsengumi away from Edo?

He's a sad case

Realization will come too late

He's fated to die with the Shinsengumi

What the hell are you up to?

I don't see them dying easily in a trap of yours

I hope you're right

A genius always finds himself alone

I have no one who understands me

I'm not a man who sits around

No one understands. No one realizes my true worth

So I have to reveal that potential to the whole world by myself

Once the Shinsengumi is mine, I'll take over the whole country

I'll prove my qualities to the world

I will etch it into people's hearts

Even at the cost of notoriety?

You're prepared to kill Kondo despite the debt you owe?

The debt?

He's the one indebted to me

I slaved away under his incompetence

He should be thankful. He's got no cause for complaint

Hey, Ito...

You think everyone else is pretty stupid, right?

But then you're dissatisfied when the fools don't acknowledge you...

You want to prove your worth? It's such a petty thing

You've just been...

alone all along

I know what it is you really want

Hijikata...

I see...

I won

I finally beat Hijikata

Does Ito know?

Is he aware you used him as a tool to kill the Shogun?

Of course not. All he cared about was his own advancement

We used his pride and exhibitionism

You really are total bastards

His death will suit him

The traitor is felled

by treachery itself

Don't...

Stop!

SIOP

Stop it

I'm not meant to die like this

Please stop! I'm meant for higher things

Much, much higher

Mother!

Look, I got a perfect score on my test

Kamotaro, be quiet

Think of your older brother's health

I'm very sorry

I've got to try much harder

If I try harder, I'm sure she'll notice me

You arrogant bastard

Teacher-loving rich kid

We hate you

I must try harder

If I try harder, surely everyone will accept me

'PPOn!

Superb

You're really something, Kamo

At this age, to have such aptitude. Your training paid off

Kamo, go to Edo

I'll recommend you to the Hokuto dojo

How come?

"Letter of Recommendation" Why did the second twin grow up

to be so healthy?

It's such a waste because he's not the eldest son

It's like he stole everything from his elder brother

Maybe he did, when they were both in my womb

I wish he'd never been born

Hey, what if Kamotaro hears you?

What's the matter with you?

Why doesn't anyone look at me?

Don't leave me alone

Stay by my side, hold my hand

Somebody, please

Kondo?

What are you doing?

Do you know what you're doing? Do you understand?

I'm the traitor who tried to kill you

A revolt is often the leader's fault. An incompetent boss puts lives at risk

There's no crime in killing him

I'm sorry. I wasn't worthy to lead a man like you

Sorry, Sensei...

I never wanted to be your comrade-in-arms

I wanted us to stand shoulder to shoulder, as true friends

Side by side as drinking buddies

There are still so many things I want you to teach me

Sensei...

What I've always wanted...

I'm working hard, I'm not doing anything wrong

Please look at me

Please praise me

It's not rank or reputation

nor success or talent or even someone to understand me

How dare you!

The thing I wanted

was something I'd had all along

I needed to forge friendships

Sense“.

I just wanted those bonds

Heave!

Hijikata-kun

I had something to tell you

What a coincidence. Same here

I hate you

I hate you

One day, I will kill you myself

So...

Do not die here

Nice move, White Demon

Even I, the great Bansai, can't seem to touch you

Make no mistake

Weak men are easy prey

I need to get going

I'll just polish you off then I must get back to the others

You may be too late

Well, we'll see

Get down!

Sense“.

Ito!

Sensei...

What are you waiting for?

Deputy-Chief, what are your orders?

As you see, the enemy is leaderless

Now is the time to attack

White Demon...

Let my helicopter guide you to hell

You go to hell!

White Demon

What are you fighting for?

Why do you stake your life?

The destruction of the Samurai's world is inescapable

Even if Takasugi doesn't launch his attack this country is doomed

Your solo struggle will not prevent that

There's nothing left worth saving here

Our country is rotten and ravaged by the Amanto

A Samurai's final role is to give last rites

This country itself deserves hara-kiri

If it's death you want, quietly go off and kill yourself

Gintoki Sakata...

You are a ghost

With Katsura and Takasugi, you once fought for the realm of the Samurai

But now you can't let go, you're delusional

Nothing but a living ghost

There's nothing left for you to protect

Ghosts should return where they belong

These strings are like steel

Give up or you'll soon lose a limb

Fire!

Clean out your ears and listen up

For me...

I've never fought for this worthless country

Not once

This nation and the Samurai in it can all go to hell

I just don't care!

Then and now, the one thing I've fought to protect

The one thing...

has never changed!

The ties that bind...

I never realized how real they were

I just didn't get it...

Realization always comes too late

I finally rediscover the precious bonds I'd forged

only to destroy everything myself

We need you to hand him over

Please, he's gone through enough

Mr. Odd Jobs

We owe you for your help this time

But we can't grant your request

Imagine how many have died because of him

We deal with traitors amongst ourselves

What do you mean?

Kondo-san...

If left alone, he'd die anyway

That's why

That's exactly why they must kill him

Get up, Ito

It's time to settle this...

These guys...

They don't want to let him die

the death of a dirty traitor

His end...

should fit a Samurai

should fit a colleague

That's the death they'll give him

Ito!

Hijikata!

Thank...

...you

So the Bakufu is unexpectedly resilient

No, perhaps Ito was too fragile. Or...

was it you who was weak, Bansai?

There were unexpected obstacles

We were unlucky. As in all things, it's a question of timing and rhythm

Without these, nothing goes well

If I'm not into the groove, I quit, there and then

BansaL“

Does my song do it for you?

Well...

My problem is, I fell in love with their song

This is bad...

They totally think I'm dead

I changed my mind

I kinda want to hear more of your song

Live on. I look forward to hearing the rest of it

That's how it went down. So nobody imagined I'd still be alive

This is bad...

Guys...

Sorry, I'm alive after all

If I show up like that, the guys will kill me for sure

Heck, what should I do?

But I feel bad...

Making everyone cry like this

That guy's asleep!

One guy's reading manga!

Another's on his cell phone!

You asked for a longer suspension?

Yes. I feel a heavy responsibility for the scandal

You're done being a lame otaku?

But if you rediscover your otaku-self,

you'll always be welcome

Thanks for your help

Where are you going?

Dunno“.

Got to keep on keeping on

or the guys will laugh at me from hell

I forgot to get paid

What the heck!

We've not got a penny in the bank

That's bad. What about the rent?

You bastards!

"Pay the rent" Where's my money?!

Heck, run away!

You bastards!

I'll pretend to be a ghost and give 'em a scare

Move

Deputy-chief!

Deputy-chief!

Deputy-chief!

Sit down

Pay the rent!

Or I'll triple the amount

Don't think you can outrun this old lady!

GINTAMA 2: RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN

Yes, going on I love Slow Life

Yes, going on I love Slow Life

I mix sticky natto in the morning

Eat breakfast, then head out

My fighting days are long gone

Now, I take it easy in Edo

Working at Odd Jobs, now and then

I wander happily through life

Enough with the singing!
