Sac: Don't lay a finger on him.
Sac: Don't you dare lay a finger on our boss!
Z: Sa—
Z: Sarutobi!
Ma: I-It's a smokescreen!
Ma: Th-That's the Oniwaban!
Kao: Let's go!
Kao: Protect our boss, Zenzo!

Warning,Sign: Watch the Shogun Assassination Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!
Sho: Zenzo...
Gin: Keep your eyes forward and run!
Gin: If you wanna survive, keep your eyes forward and run!
Sho: Are you telling me that's my battle as shogun?
Sho: That even if I must use countless corpses of my friends as stepping stones,
Sho: I have to live on for the sake of our society and its people?
Sho: Why did I ever become shogun, then?
Sho: In my eyes, Zenzo
Sho: and you all are also precious subjects I'm meant to protect!
Kag: Sho-chan...
Gin: Shogun, that guy...
Gin: Your buddy ain't gonna die.
Gin: Because he's got my buddy with him.
Gin: And Shogun, you ain't gonna die here.
Gin: Because...
Gin: Because you've got us buddies with you.
Z: Looks like I...
Z: We failed to fulfill our duty.
Z: The enemy was larger than we thought.
Sa: You idiot!
Sa: Who was it that told me not to act out of character?
Z: Yeah, this is definitely out of character.
Z: How did I end up with you taking care of me at the very end?
Z: I can't walk anymore.
Z: Go, Sarutobi.
Z: A cat doesn't let others see its last breath.
Sa: What are you talking about?
Sa: Get up and run.
Sa: Run, damn it!
Sa: You've still got a duty to fulfill!
Sa: Where do you think you're going, leaving us behind,
Sa: Boss?
Sa: You... You all kept the shogun alive by putting your lives on the line.
Sa: You defended our village.
Sa: But you still haven't fulfilled the one duty you must fulfill.
Sa: You have to go back alive...
Sa: With the shogun,
Sa: and with us...
Sa: We're all going back to Edo together!
Sa: Forget being Oniwaban.
Sa: Forget being the shogun.
Sa: That is the duty we all have as friends.
Gin: Shinpa—
Gin: Yeah, these guys aren't gonna go down easily!
Shin: Sh-Shogun-sama!
Hij: Hey, you'd better be careful.
Hij: Apparently this village has some...
Kon: ...scary traps to keep intruders at bay.
Shin: Kondo-san! Hijikata-san!
Hij: They're still alive?!
Shin: Gin-san! Kagura-chan!
Gin: Sheesh.
Gin: The loyal retainers join the fray at last, eh?
Gin: What a grand entrance you made, jumping out of a pitfall.
Kon: I wouldn't say that.
Kon: We thought we saw light through the cracks,
Kon: but it looks like it's still far away.
Gin: Now, what do we do about this?
Kon: There's only one thing we can do.
Kon: No matter who we're facing, it's k*ll or be k*lled.
Kon: That's all.
Shin: It does seem like we're the last retainers who can protect the shogun.
Hij: If this is a joke, it ain't funny.
Hij: Of all people, these are the last men standing?
Hij: I'd like a do-over, starting from the interview.
Kag: Right back at you.
Kag: Dying to protect the shogun would be one thing, but...
All: Dying with you guys is the last thing I want!
Gin: We're up against Yato.
Gin: If we put up an honest fight against a force like that,
Gin: we won't stand a chance.
Hij: How unusual of you to whine before the battle even begins.
Gin: Did you not hear me?
Gin: I said if it were an honest fight.
Gin: As if any one of us is that honest.
Hij: True that.
Hij: Fighting Yato with these numbers shows that
Hij: we're out of our minds.
Gin: Run for it!
Shin: Shogun-sama, hurry!
Kon: Get back up!
Kon: Hurry up and run!
Kag: Gori!
Kon: Toughness isn't exclusive to you guys, you know!
Kag: Get back up and run.
Shin: Hijikata-san!
Shin: Gin-san!
Kao: That's enough! Disperse!
Mat: Get back here, damn you!
Mat: After them!
Mat: Don't let any of them escape!
Hen: You mustn't chase them too far, Matako-san.
Hen: The Oniwaban's objective is to split our forces up.
Oni,Sign: Oniwaban
Seven,Sign: Iga
Seven,Sign: Seventh Division
Kiheitai,Sign: Kiheitai
Hen: The Seventh Division is fighting the enemy's main force.
Hen: We should regroup with them and set up a pincer att*ck.
Tak: I had Bansai head over there already.
Tak: Let them do as they please.
Tak: Either way, Iga and the current government are done for.
Hen: T-Takasugi-san...
Tak: Let them at least go out in a blaze of glory.
Hen: Where are you going?
Tak: There's a guy I must end before putting an end to everything.
Tak: Even if we take the shogun's head and topple the government,
Tak: we won't be able to behead this world.
Tak: Unless we break that sword,
Tak: the world won't end.
Kon: Jeez.
Gin: What's the point of guarding the shogun if he has to guard us instead?
Gin: It should be clear to you now.
Gin: We won't survive unless we give it all we have, including what's in our underwear.
Sho: Fret not.
Sho: We shall protect one another's backs.
Sho: Is that not what "buddies" are?
Hij: Who the hell taught the shogun such crude slang?
Kag: Should we have taught him "friendicks" instead?
Sho: Oh, so you can say it like that, too?
Hij: Don't teach him any more nonsense!
Gin: Hey, now.
Gin: If he's acting like that, he might be another double.
Kon: Nah, it's the shogun.
Kon: There's no mistaking it.
Kon: He's our shogun.
Abu: Good grief.
Abu: This is the first planet that's ever given us such trouble in hand-to-hand combat.
Abu: Believe it or not,
Abu: we're a rare species that's in danger of extinction.
Abu: I wish you'd be gentler with us.
Kag: You're...
Abu: Long time no see, miss.
Abu: I had a lot of trouble after our little skirmish.
Abu: The commander raked me over the coals,
Abu: and told me not to hold back the next time I ran into you.
Abu: But now, just look how many of my brethren you've taken out.
Abu: Be it the commander's little sister,
Abu: be it the commander's prey,
Abu: I don't intend to let you guys leave here alive.
Shin: Screw you!
Shin: You're the ones trampling all over our country!
Abu: Really?
Abu: I thought it looked like it was rotting even before we set foot here.
Abu: Even if we didn't do anything, it would've crumbled all on its own.
Abu: And anyway, you samurai are the ones about to finish it off.
Abu: We're only here to repay that guy.
Gin: Where is he?
Gin: Where is that bastard, Takasugi?
Abu: Well, I can tell you he's not where you're about to go.
Abu: I've sent some along already to lead you there.
Abu: Ninjas and samurai...
Abu: Fall to ruin, along with this country.
Gin: She's not much of a guide, I'm afraid.
Gin: All she's capable of is...
Rap: Will you have some cocoa?
Rap: Or do you want some pitch-black tea?
Y: Vice Commander!
Rap: Stand up, samurai.
Rap: Neither the ninjas nor this country are dead yet.
Shin: Momochi-san!
Gin: Run for it!
Shin: You're alive?
Shin: And that thing can be a shuriken, too?
Rap: I told you, the ninjas aren't dead yet.
Y: After them!
Y: Don't let them get away!
Rap: The ninjas they wiped out
Rap: were merely my puppets.
Rap: The vassals of Fujibayashi who d*ed back then.
Rap: We have barely begun to unleash true ninja warfare.
Abu: I see.
Abu: So these are real ninja arts.
Abu: If you'd also blown away the bill for this brand new prosthetic arm,
Abu: I would've given you a round of applause.
Abu: But I'm back to being unable to clap.
Abu: What do all of you have against my left arm?!
Rap: Listen well.
Rap: Near the Marici statue on the cliff to the west
Rap: is a secret path only ninja villagers know.
Rap: You guys take the shogun and get out of Iga.
Shin: Momochi-san!
Rap: We'll hold them at bay here.
Rap: We must prevent them from sinking the country, even if Iga has to fall to do it.
Rap: Shogun-sama...
Rap: Please forgive my inability to serve you to the very end.
Sho: Momochi!
Kon: It'd be dicey with just the ninjas.
Kon: I thought this was supposed to be a joint operation between ninjas and samurai.
Hij: Then we'll be taking our share of the glory.
Shin: Kondo-san! Hijikata-san!
Hij: There you have it. Get going already.
Kon: You can handle the rest even without police security, right?
Kag: Wait up, you guys—
Kon: Odd Jobs!
Kon: Through one thing or another, we've known you guys for a long time now.
Kon: But we've never once gone to you with a job request.
Kon: I never thought this day would come.
Kon: But you're the only guys left to ask...
Kon: You're the only ones we can trust to do this.
Kon: You're the only ones who can.
Kon: This is the Shinsengumi's...
Kon: Our first and last request.
Kon: Odd Jobs,
Kon: take care of the shogun.
Gin: We accept.
Shin: Gin-san...
Gin: Don't look back.
Kon: Toshi...
Hij: Don't worry, I won't look back.
Hij: If I do...
Bo: They'll ask about payment!
Gin: Don't worry, we'll get paid no matter what.
Gin: Both by them and the shogun.
Gin: Once we all get back alive.
Gin: So for now,
Gin: don't look back.
Gin: Keep your eyes forward.
Gin: We may be looking in different directions,
Gin: but we all have the same home.
Sac: I see it!
Sac: Zenzo, it should be possible to escape the village from there.
Sac: You go ahead.
Sac: I promise I'll bring the shogun along.
Sac: Zenzo?
Sac: Hang in there, Zenzo!
Sac: Just a bit longer...
Sac: We're almost there!
Sac: I won't let anyone die anymore!
Sac: We're all going back alive.
Sac: We're almost there.
Sac: If we make it past here,
Sac: we can go back to those days
Sac: where all of us spent our time doing the stupidest things.
Sac: We can go back to those times, right, Gin-san?
Tak: No, you can't.
Tak: You're not going anywhere.
Tak: You no longer have a home
Tak: or a place to run to in this country.
Hen: So they really did have a secret path.
Hen: Good thing you made it in time, Kamui-dono.
Kam: I left pretty late because of Abuto.
Kam: But I got to see something amusing thanks to that.
Kam: On your planet, wouldn't you call this
Kam: "nothing's more dangerous than a cornered animal"?
Tak: Nah.
Tak: It's what we call "resistance is futile."
Hen: The trajectory was altered to miss her vitals.
Hen: Who was it?
Z: Don't move!
Z: If anyone moves a finger, I'll stick these in all of your butts.
Z: Hemorrhoids are lifelong, you know.
Z: You ought to take care of your ass.
Sa: Zenzo...
Z: Stand up, Sarutobi!
Z: We're going back alive.
Z: You're the one who said that,
Z: and yet you're trying to die before me?
Sa: Sorry... I...
Z: Don't apologize.
Z: I was the one who always ran off on my own,
Z: and you scolded me each time.
Z: So don't you dare go off before me.
Z: I love my fuglies, Sarutobi,
Z: but I've had enough of your fugly crying face.
Z: I won't let you cry in front of me ever again!
Z: Rather than a half-dead man skewering all of us,
Z: it'd be much quicker for us to cut up two worn-out rags.
Z: Didn't you hear me tell you not to move?!
Kam: I see, Shinsuke.
Kam: This certainly is futile resistance.
Kam: All that talk about sticking knives in our asses
Kam: was to prevent us from looking upwards.
Kam: And this rain of knives...
Tak: It's just a fake-out, too.
Tak: I'm sick of your petty tricks.
Z: Oh, it's no fake-out.
Z: I have the perfect ninja technique for your massive asses.
Z: It's my Tr*mp card,
Z: and I've already used it!

Syo: In a fight, both parties are to blame,
Syo: my little samurai.
Tak: Gintoki, if I die...
Gin: Kagura!
