Gin: I took him out!
Gin: I took out the shogun!
Tsu: C-Calm down, Gintoki!
Tsu: He's just unconscious!
Tsu: We need to get him help, quick!
Nobu: Found Whitey and Blondie.
Gin: That's not a can!
Nobu: It'll be faster to cut him up.
Gin: Your way of moving faster is too fast!
A: Excuse me, Shogun-sama.
A: The former shogun, Sadasada-sama is here.
A: Are you available?
Gin: Is he available?
Gin: That's what I want to know!
Gin: This is a disaster! What the hell do we do about this?!
Gin: We finally found the former shogun,
but the current shogun is flying away!
Gin: Butterflying away in the River Styx.
Gin: At this rate, we'll be butterflying away with him,
Tsu: Calm down!
Gin: so before that, let's start running away!
Tsu: Hey, where are you going?
Tsu: Get back here.
Tsu: Are you gonna give up on this perfect chance?
Sada: Is something wrong?
Sada: Shigeshige-san is my nephew.
Sada: I don't need his permission to visit.
Sada: I'm coming in, Shigeshige-san.
Gin: H-Hold on!
Shige: What is the meaning of this?
Tsu: O-Oh no!
Tsu: We said to wait!
Tsu: Shogun-sama is busy right now.
Nobu: Hello, we're Delivery Yoshiwara's Nobume...
Tsu: ...and Tsu-ki. It's a pleasure.
Inside the Palace!!
Sasa: Found the princess.
Sasa: Shot Grampy.
Sasa: Sorry, but I already found everyone.
Sasa: Forgive me for being an elite.
Grampy: My apologies, Sasaki-dono!
Grampy: We were just...
Sasa: It's fine.
Sasa: But watch where you hide.
Sasa: I almost mistook you for a villain and shot you.
Shin: Almost? You nearly shot me to death!
Sasa: Rotten-dono, if you agree to take responsibility when
I accidentally k*ll the princess,
Sasa: we can play another round.
Grampy: We'll stop! We're going to stop!
Grampy: I'm so very sorry!
Sasa: A wise decision.
Sasa: I would expect as much
from Rotten Maizo-dono, advisor to the former shogun.
Sasa: I've heard that you gave up your left arm to show your loyalty.
Shin: Grampy, you served Sadasada-sama?
Grampy: I-It was a long time ago.
Sasa: It was a tempestuous age of political purges within the palace,
Sasa: and Rotten-dono played a pivotal role in keeping his master safe.
Sasa: Sadasada-sama's elevation to shogun
was thanks to Rotten-dono's hard work
Sasa: since the other candidates were all sent to heaven.
Sasa: Yes, by "heaven," I mean Yoshiwara.
Shin: What do you...
Grampy: Sasaki-dono, could you escort these visitors outside?
Grampy: Come with me, Your Highness.
Soyo: Wait, Grampy!
Soyo: Kagura-chan!
Kag: Soyo-chan!
Tsu: Here you are, Shogun-sama.
Tsu: Come on, Shogun-sama.
Tsu: You're spilling everything.
Tsu: You're so hopeless.
Gin: There's no way!
Gin: Not a chance in hell!
Gin: There's no way we can fool him!
Gin: Why are we bothering with this act?
Gin: His eyes are rolled back!
Gin: The former shogun's eyes are also rolled back!
Tsu: Say something! Say something, now!
Gin: I'm not a ventriloquist!
Tsu: Still beats staying quiet! Hurry up!
Gin: Y-Yeah, you gave me a scare
Gin: since you walked in without any warning, Uncle!
Gin: Give me a break!
Gin: I look like a fool now!
Tsu: Why are you being so casual?!
Tsu: Act more serious, like the shogun would!
Gin: Bring Genda Tessho-san here, then!
Gin: I don't know how to play a serious shogun!
Nobu: My apologies, Dearest Uncle.
Gin: She can mimic voices?
Nobu: I have humiliated myself shogun.
Gin: Huh, shogun?
Nobu: I'm so embarrassed shogun.
Gin: Hey! Why do you end every sentence with shogun?!
Nobu: Please forget what you saw shogun.
Gin: You're sounding like Korosuke now!
Gin: Who are you trying to imitate?!
Nobu: Oh, that's odd.
Nobu: The shogun is talking faster than his mouth can move shogun.
Gin: Nobody asked for an Ikkoku-dou impression!
Sada: No, I should be the one apologizing.
Sada: You seemed to frown upon such behavior.
Sada: I did some crazy things when I was young, though nothing as bold as this.
Gin: What does he think was going on here?!
Sada: But I'm shocked that the Mimawarigumi would allow visitors inside.
Sada: It seems that they aren't here to protect us.
Sada: Look at that.
Gin: Huh? Er, can I sit here?
Gin: Can I just stare at his receding hairline from here?
Tsu: Of course not!
Tsu: Stand up! Get over there!
Sada: They claim to be training, but that's no more than an excuse.
Sada: They're monitoring us.
Sada: You know that the current Bakufu
Tsu: Hey, be careful!
is split between our faction, which backs you,
Sada: and the faction that wants to make one of
the young Hitotsubashis Shogun, yes?
Sada: The recent assassination victims
have all been members of the Hitotsubashi faction.
Sada: That is why they suspect us.
Sada: The Mimawarigumi have strong ties to the Hitotsubashi faction.
Sada: They may attempt to make false accusations.
Sada: Try not to do anything that would attract their attention.
Tsu: Shogun-sama, give me back my underwear!
Nobu: This doesn't seem right.
Gin: Any naughty underwear around shogun?
Gin: Ugh, this stinks!
Sada: Shigeshige-san...
Sada: Was your hair always so bushy?
Gin: Oh, this hair was on her underwear.
Sada: I don't remember that bushy object being in this room before.
Nobu: Oh, this hair was always here shogun.
Sada: Honestly, I can't tell if you're being resilient or foolish.
Gin: Wait, it worked?
Sada: But try to control yourself.
Sada: I've seen many people ruin their lives because of women.
Sada: Yes, beware of courtesans.
Tsu: My Lord.
Tsu: Please forgive my interruption.
Tsu: But there is something I must ask.
Tsu: Do you remember the courtesan Suzuran?
Tsu: No, it doesn't matter if you don't remember her.
Tsu: I just... I just...
Sasa: I see.
So you want to know the connection between
that courtesan and Sadasada-sama.
Shin: It sounded like you knew something.
Sasa: Let me offer you some advice.
Sasa: Give me your e-mail addresses and leave.
Shin: We don't have any!
Sasa: Become my e-mail buddies and leave.
Kag: We'd rather stay strangers!
Sasa: The courtesan who bewitched and toppled our very country...
Sasa: Stay out of this, unless you want to get yourself destroyed.
Sada: I see...
Sada: So Suzuran is still alive.
Sasa: You're right.
Sasa: Lady Suzuran was Sadasada-sama's companion when he was young.
Sasa: However, he wasn't the one who fell for her charms.
Sasa: At the time, Yoshiwara was a place for
high-ranking officials to meet and socialize,
Sasa: and every man who visited was entranced by her.
Sada: Suzuran...
Sada: How could I forget her?
Sada: I could never forget.
Sada: Those eyes shining with kindness...
Sada: The graceful way she moved...
Sada: Her silky hair...
Sada: Glossy lips...
Sada: Supple skin...
Sada: And...
Sada: ...those blood-stained hands.
Sada: I'd love to suck them off again.
Sasa: He was using her.
Sasa: Using her as a tool to topple this country.
Sasa: And after becoming shogun,
Sasa: he prepared a puppet to succeed him,
Sasa: so his influence in the palace would not wane.
Kag: What about that promise?!
Sasa: Do you really think that man
would grant freedom to a tool who knew his secrets?
Sasa: If he ever made such a promise, he was lying.
Sasa: It was nothing more than a curse to maintain control
Sasa: over his tool.
Sasa: That cunning old man is not someone you can handle.
Sasa: You should go home and let the elites deal with this.
Sasa: Yoshiwara was only the beginning.
Sasa: This place has become his hunting ground.
Sasa: Who knows what might happen to you...
Sasa: I just got a curry udon stain out the other day.
Sasa: See? I told you that you were asking for trouble...
Shin: Sa-Sasaki-san!
Sada: Yes, I've found some more tools to use.
Sada: Apprehend them.
Sada: These criminals are guilty of murdering Bakufu officials
as well as the leader of those snooping dogs.
Hiji: Sasaki was taken down.
Hiji: Well, his life was forfeit once he let murderers inside the palace.
Hiji: The Mimawarigumi have been removed from palace security.
Hiji: It won't be long before they disband.
Hiji: And we've been selected to take their place.
Hiji: But something about this stinks.
Kondo: Stinks?! What does?!
Hiji: I hear the alleged criminals in the serial Bakufu murders were apprehended,
Hiji: and they'll be ex*cuted tomorrow morning
without conducting any investigation.
Hiji: It sounds like they're trying to cover something up.
Kondo: Oh, whew.
Kondo: I thought he could smell my gas.
Hiji: Kondo-san?
Kondo: R-Right!
Kondo: Something's not right.
Kondo: Let's clean up these murderers.
Gin: Oh! Kondo-kun! Hijikata-kun!
Gin: Fancy meeting you here!
Gin: Perfect timing!
Gin: I need to talk to you.
Gin: I'm gonna k*ll you, you rotten cops!
Gin: Don't ignore me! Hear me out!
Hiji: It's hopeless. That's some stubborn filth they're covered in.
Kondo: That won't ever clean off.
Gin: Everyone! That gorilla pooped a little when he farted earlier!
Kondo: How do you know that?!
Oki: It's no use, boss.
Oki: You picked the wrong enemy this time.
Oki: Nobody's going to lend an ear to your pleas.
Kag: Then rip off your ear and lend it to us!
Oki: Sorry, my ears have a prior engagement.
Kag: Then give me an ear of corn!
Oki: Oh? I see a familiar face in there.
Oki: That's odd. Why is there an elite locked up with the scum?
Oki: What will happen to the Mimawarigumi if I tell the shogun?
Oki: Oh, yeah.
Oki: Sorry, you guys are already finished, regardless.
Nobu: Hand over a Pon De Ring!
Oki: That's what you want?! You're ripping me apart!
Kag: Give me my dinner!
Shin: We really picked the wrong opponent this time.
Shin: Sasaki-san said that the palace was Sadasada's hunting ground now.
Shin: And Sasaki-san was also...
Nobu: He's alive.
Nobu: Isaburo is alive.
Tsu: So it turns out you were right, Gintoki.
Tsu: I was the one blinded by a false dream.
Tsu: Suzuran was waiting for a man that doesn't exist.
Tsu: She must have known
Tsu: that refusing Sadasada would mean her death.
Tsu: That the promise was meant to chain her to Yoshiwara.
Tsu: Suzuran wasn't waiting for anyone.
Tsu: She had no choice but to cling to her dreams.
Gramp: Shigeshige-sama!
Gramp: Please reconsider!
Gramp: Those people are Princess Soyo's friends!
Gramp: If you must punish someone,
Gramp: please slice off my ass instead!
Shogun: Calm down, Grampy.
Shogun: My uncle was the one who saw what happened.
Shogun: I know nothing.
Gramp: But you're the only one who can stop him!
Sada: There's no need to worry.
Sada: They are murderers.
Sada: Or are you saying that I'm lying?
Gramp: B-By no means...
Sada: Get some rest, Shigeshige-san.
Sada: This old man will take care of everything for you.
Kon: Lord Sadasada?!
Kon: Is that true?!
Oki: I don't know if it's true, but that's their story.
Kon: Toshi!
Hiji: So what?
Hiji: Our job is to defend Edo.
Hiji: It's not our problem if those pigs want to feed on one another.
Kon: But if we ignore what's happening,
we'll be no better than them!
Hiji: Don't forget that those pigs are the only reason
Hiji: we country boys get to play samurai.
Kon: I'm not interested in being a bogus samurai that doesn't follow a code!
Hiji: We have to play bogus samurai if we want to defend anything!
Kon: Don't you realize that this is what we're supposed to be defending!
Yama: Hey! Hold on!
Yama: What are you two doing?!
Gin: Shut up!
Gin: I can't get any sleep, you bastards!
Kag: Soyo-chan!
Gin: Is she going to save us while those fools are fighting?
Soyo: Um, I was having trouble falling asleep all by myself.
Soyo: Can I sleep out here?
Soyo: I'd gotten used to Nobume-san sleeping with me,
so I was too scared to fall asleep.
Shin: Uh, we're the ones who should be too scared to fall asleep.
Soyo: I'm a little nervous since this is almost like a sleepover.
Shin: Uh, we're the ones who should be nervous.
Shin: We're going to be ex*cuted tomorrow.
Soyo: Don't worry.
Soyo: Grampy will prove your innocence.
Soyo: If you still can't fall asleep...
Soyo: I know!
Soyo: I can tell you some bedtime stories
that Grampy told me when I was little.
Soyo: They're so boring that you'll fall asleep in no time.
Soyo: Um...
Soyo: Long, long ago...
Shin: How boring do you expect it to be?!
Shin: That's rude!
Soyo: Long, long ago, there was a lord and his retainer.
Soyo: The lord's wife was the most beautiful princess in the land,
Soyo: and she cared about him very much.
Soyo: But the lord used the princess's feelings,
Soyo: threw her in prison, and forced her to do terrible things.
Soyo: The princess could only cry in her prison every night.
Soyo: The retainer felt sorry for the princess and often came to wipe her tears.
Soyo: Yes, for he had fallen in love with the princess.
Soyo: However...
Sada: Dispose of Suzuran.
Soyo: The retainer would be k*lled if he didn't obey.
Soyo: But he couldn't bring himself to k*ll the woman he loved.
Soyo: Instead, they made a promise.
Soyo: They would escape together.
Soyo: "I will take you with me on the night of the next full moon."
Soyo: And then they exchanged a pinky swear.
Soyo: But he never returned,
Soyo: for the lord already knew about them.
Sada: How long will Suzuran wait for you,
Sada: a man who's long forgotten his promise?
Sada: The woman will wait for the rest of her life
for a man who will never come,
Sada: while the man will live the rest of his life
with the pain of breaking his promise.
Sada: A beautiful story, yes?
Soyo: If the retainer were to go see the princess, she would be k*lled.
Soyo: Their promise was transformed into a chain heavier than death.
Soyo: So he swore to himself.
Soyo: It didn't matter how many full moons came and went.
Soyo: It didn't matter if they were covered in wrinkles.
Soyo: It didn't matter if the princess forgot about him.
Soyo: He would live until the day he met her.
Soyo: And so, he continues to live by crawling on his three limbs.
Sada: Maizo, I heard something fascinating that
I wanted to pass on to you.
Sada: Suzuran is still living in Yoshiwara.
Sada: But she won't survive much longer.
Sada: Do you wish to see her?
Sada: How many full moons have come and gone?
Sada: I suppose it's time to forgive you.
Sada: I'll let you go see her.
Sada: Take responsibility for inviting those criminals into the palace.
Sada: Disembowel yourself.
Sada: Suzuran will be waiting for you in hell.
Soyo: And the princess and retainer were...
Tsu: Stop.
Tsu: We've heard enough, Your Highness.
Soyo: You weren't able to fall asleep?
Gin: No.
Gin: We already know the rest of the story.
Shin: Can you open the door now, Your Highness?
Soyo: Huh? How?
Kag: Over there.
Kag: They were tossed in when you entered.
Kon: What are you waiting for?
Kon: Come out here. It's time for your execution.
Kon: Put on your execution clothes.
Oki: Boss, don't forget you have an appointment
with the executioner's block.
Oki: Make sure you come back with your head attached
Oki: since we'll need to chop it off.
Hiji: Try to commit a crime that's worthy of this punishment.
Hiji: What crime will you be guilty of?
Gin: The crime of
Gin: ripping off a lord's topknot down there.
Kon: This may be the last time we send him off.
Nobu: The same goes for you.
Nobu: Now that you've sided with us, there's no turning back.
Hiji: Don't worry about that.
Hiji: If you cause an uproar, that old man will start to show his true colors.
Hiji: Once there's no one left to interfere, we'll grill him good.
Oki: So you can go die in peace.
Oki: Or do you want me to dispatch you now,
Oki: m*rder*r?
Nobu: Remember this.
Nobu: You have no allies in this palace.
Nobu: If you aren't prepared to take over this country, you'll all die.
Nobu: The only difference is that
you'll be eliminated by that old man instead of me.
Nobu: If you want to join in the battle for this nation,
Nobu: forget about anything being black or white.
Sada: What's going on?
Sada: Are there more bandits about?
Gin: Zura would love to see this.
Gin: Who would have thought we'd be trying
to seize this country for the sake of an old woman?
Shin: This makes us wanted criminals.
Shin: Sis won't be happy.
Kag: Don't worry, sister lover.
Kag: If there's no place for us on Earth, we'll go to space.
Gin: Odd Jobs in space?
Gin: That doesn't sound too bad.
Tsu: The independent city Yoshiwara will keep you safe.
Gin: Odd Jobs in Yoshiwara?
Tsu: No, there's a gay bar that's understaffed.
Soyo: That means we'll be seizing your balls after you seize this country.
Kag: Ow!
Kag: Why did you hit me?!
Gin: Were you the one who brought her with us?
Gin: Were you the one who taught her those dirty jokes?
Kag: It's your fault for telling dirty jokes to innocent little girls!
Kag: Girls our age absorb everything like sponges!
Gin: A sponge?! You're more like a dirty rag soaked in milk!
Kag: Shut up, toilet paper!
Gin: I at least deserve to be called a rag! A rag used to wipe asses!
Tsu: Are you sure about this?
Tsu: You'll be sacrificing everything for Yoshiwara.
Gin: It's too late.
Gin: I already made a promise.
Tsu: I see.
Tsu: In that case...
Tsu: Promise me this.
Tsu: We will all return alive.
Gin: It's a promise.
Tsuzuku,Caption: To be continued...
Gin: I'm starting to feel the pressure.
Gin: There was the One Piece film at the end of the year.
Gin: Then you've got Hunter x Hunter and Dragon Ball films in spring, and us in summer.
Kag: We should ask TV Tokyo to show our movie with the Pokemon movie.
Gin: That's it!
Shin: That's it, my ass!
