Kon: No education, no status.

Kon: The only thing they can trust is their own swords.

Kon: And they want to make a name for themselves using them.

Kon: That's the kind of ruffians who have gathered here.

Kon: Don't let their dreams consume you.

Kon: Carve open a path to your dreams with your own hands.

Kon: We're gonna become samurai here in Edo.

G: Commissioner-General.

G: Commissioner-General!

G: Ship silhouette sighted a few kilometers ahead.

G: Wait, that's...

Sas: So the Shinsengumi are here.

Sas: Will this be the day their dreams perish?

Sas: Or will it be the day I finally awaken from mine?

Sas: If you think you can carve open a path, then let's see you try.

Sas: I'll have you know I toss and turn a lot in my sleep.

Title: Farewell Shinsengumi Arc Part Five

Title: Stray Dogs

Warning,: Watch the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!

Kat: Looks like it's begun.

Kon: D-Don't tell me, Toshi and the others are over there?

Kat: No.

G: There's nobody aboard the ships?

Kat: It's a ploy Gintoki used often.

Kat: And Sakamoto often yelled at him for it, saying ships weren't firewood.

Kat: If the fire was set in front of the island...

Gin: If a castle can only be breached from the front,

Gin: that means it can be easily felled if you get in any other way.

Hij: You actually think we can climb this cliff?

Gin: If the enemy has that same doubt, then it's worth a sh*t.

Oki: We don't have time to complain.

Oki: There are gunships closing in from behind.

Oki: We placed decoy squads in all four directions,

Oki: but who knows how long they'll keep the enemy occupied?

Oki: Doesn't look like there are any footholds until halfway up,

Oki: but climbing the rest of the way seems doable.

Oki: The question is, how do we get halfway up?

Kag: We just need someone to get up there and dangle a rope for the rest.

Kag: Leave it to me.

Oki: You sure, China Girl?

Kag: Yup. A cliff like this is like a stone's throw for me.

Kag: Grab that rope and climb, guys!

Hij: You weren't the one going up?!

Hij: As if we could use a rope that bloody!

Hij: And it's not nearly long enough!

Kag: Fine. Let's add some extra!

Hij: You don't have to add an extra human being!

Kag: Oops, I missed.

Kag: No point to the extra now.

Ymz: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!

Gin: Well, they're here now.

Gin: Let's use them as stairs, like this.

Ymz: Uh, is there any point to this first stair?

Ymz: Is my life just a stepping stone?

Oki: Screw you!

Hij: There'll be nobody left by the time we reach the top!

Hij: I'll chop you up and use your body parts as footholds!

Gin: Get bent! The only one who can step on my c*ck is Ketsuno Ana!

Hij: Nope, I'm gonna step all over it!

Shin: Sis.

Tae: Shin-chan, I thought we couldn't go back anymore.

Tae: That those days would never return.

Tae: But it looks like I can still laugh.

Tae: It's so strange.

Tae: Even though we're in this situation,

Tae: being with everyone makes me...

Shin: Just wait.

Shin: I'll bring that man,

Shin: and everyone, back here to you for sure.

Shin: So wait for us with that same old smile on your face, Sis.

Shin: No matter what may happen from here on...

Shin: So long as you and everyone else is still smiling,

Shin: we can always go back to those days.

Shin: I'll be right back, Sis.

Kon: How many?

Kat: You noticed? Probably a few dozen.

Kat: They must be Naraku.

Kat: Go on ahead.

Kat: At this rate, they'll figure out where we're meeting Gintoki and the rest.

Kat: And if you die, I'll lose the Shinsengumi's cooperation.

Kon: I'm sorry, but while I may have broken out of prison,

Kon: I don't remember agreeing to work with you guys.

Kon: I'm gonna do as I please.

Kat: You...

Mat: Kondo.

Kon: Get going, Pops!

Mat: With the end of the Joi w*r, the world has entered a new era.

Mat: But there are still hoodlums throwing their weight around in public.

Mat: They call themselves Joi Rebels and continue to break the law.

Mat: They're a lot like you guys, actually.

Mat: You have strength, but no idea where to use it.

Mat: So we thought that maybe we could use that strength for a different purpose.

Sign ,: Roshigumi Applicants

Mat: That's why we formed this special peacekeeping unit, the Roshigumi.

Mat: How about it?

Mat: If you're gonna wreak havoc anyway,

Mat: why don't you try using your strength to protect something?

Mat: For all that big talk, the idea was to basically pit stray dogs against one another.

Mat: The bakufu would give hoodlums a sword, a mission, and freedom to act like samurai,

Mat: but the end goal was to have them and the Joi Rebels take each other out.

Mat: Talk about irony.

Mat: Now that a new era is upon us, and samurai are dying out,

Mat: the last remaining hope is those very stray dogs.

Mat: No, you guys are no longer stray dogs.

Mat: You're noble wolves!

Ymz: Oh, shut up.

Ymz: Go away! I can't focus!

Ymz: Damn, I looked down.

Gin: Keep looking up and climb.

Gin: If you look down, your legs will stop moving.

Gin: That's the golden rule of mountain climbing, and life in general.

Ymz: Th-Then...

Ymz: How about when you're descending a mountain?

Oki: It's simple.

Oki: Close your eyes and let go of that rope.

Oki: Anyone who thinks about going down before climbing all the way up

Oki: should just fall and have his eyeballs plucked out, or so the crows are saying.

Ymz: Don't say ominous things like that, Captain!

Hij: Kondo-san, please hold out until we get there!

Kat: They're really looking down on us, huh?

Kat: Is this all the assassins they sent after us?

Kon: If you want to take us out, then only an entire army...

Kat: ...or Kondo Isao...

Kon: ...or Katsura Kotaro...

Bo: ...are fit for the job!

Kat: We're the only ones who can k*ll each other.

Kat: And you've ended up taking both of us on at once.

Kon: We have...

Kat: ...no enemies anymore.

Kon: Did we get all of them?

Kat: No, we're talking about those filthy crows here.

Kat: They probably sent word the moment they spotted us.

Kat: I can't imagine they'd go down without sending reinforcements.

Kat: It can't be!

Kon: Katsura?

Kat: Hurry, Kondo!

Kon: What's this about?

Kat: We were the ones being held up!

Kat: Of course they wouldn't send reinforcements!

Kat: The enemy's main unit is already

Kat: directly above Gintoki and the others!

Kon: That means Pops is in danger, too!

Kon: Katsura!

Kon: Hey, Katsura! Hang in there!

Kon: Katsura!

Kat: Don't get so worked up. I've merely gained an extra belly button, is all.

Kat: But it looks like we no longer have time to worry about others.

Kat: And at the worst possible time!

Sas: Time's up.

Hij: Don't panic!

Hij: Huddle up and take cover beneath the rock face!

Kag: Damn you and your cheap tricks!

Kag: Follow me—

Shin: Kagura-chan!

Gin: Second wave incoming!

Gin: Kagura!

Hij: Sogo!

Kag: Let go.

Kag: Let go of me!

Obo: Oh?

Hij: Now! Let's go!

Obo: They acted as bait to draw our attention,

Obo: and while we were distracted, they drilled a hole to take our rear?

Obo: It seems they have better spies than you.

Ymz: Let me give you some advice as your senior spy.

Ymz: Flying while only looking down, like you do, isn't good enough,

Ymz: nor is climbing while only looking up.

Ymz: You need to look both up and down.

Ymz: That's the golden rule of surveillance, my dear crow.

Elizabeth,: Out of the way

Ymz: I wasn't looking behind me...

Elizabeth ,: I'll take the lead. Let's crush them in one fell swoop.

Notepad,: If you're giving orders, wouldn't a notebook be easier for all to read?

Eliz Center,: There's no need...

Eliz Center,: ...for words anymore.

Sai: You have our backz.

Oki: It's about time those guys got here.

Oki: Now I can finally get some payback!

Hij: Crush them!

Obo: For a measly pack of stray dogs,

Obo: you sure have sharpened your fangs well.

Obo: However...

Hij: You guys!

Obo: This is the end.

Obo: The lofty heavens are yet distant.

Obo: Past here is a hellish road one cannot navigate without the Yatagarasu's guidance.

Obo: Should you wish to proceed,

Obo: do so after you cast aside your corrupt bodies.

Obo: If you do, these crows will carry your souls to your destination...

Obo: To where your Kondo is.

Obo: To where Shoyo is.

Gin: Sheesh.

Gin: What an awful sight.

Gin: We finally got to the top of the mountain,

Gin: but this place is covered with crow droppings, too.

Gin: Go ahead.

Gin: Cleaning up crow droppings isn't a job for the police.

Gin: Hurry up and go clean up a gorilla's sh*t or something.

Gin: Besides, he's...

Tak: ...the other will definitely send you to Hell.

Gin: He's my client.

Oki: Then you take that side, Boss.

Oki: And I'll handle them.

Hij: Sogo?

Oki: Truth is, I want to go, too.

Oki: But unfortunately, Kondo-san gave me a role to fulfill.

Oki: I'm Okita Sogo, Shinsengumi st Squad Captain.

Oki: My job is to take the vanguard and cut open a path.

Oki: And you're the Shinsengumi's Demonic Vice Chief, Hijikata Toshiro.

Oki: Your job is to go down that path without looking back.

Oki: Hijikata-san—

Oki: No...

Oki: Vice Chief.

Oki: I leave the Chief to you.

Hij: Listen up, and listen good.

Hij: I'm adding one last article to the Shinsengumi Code.

Hij: Until now, you've staked your lives to uphold the articles of the Code.

Hij: Even if you have to violate all of them,

Hij: survive!

Hij: Let's roll!

Hij: We're cutting through!

Hij: Keep your eyes forward and run!

Phone,: Found the gorilla in the forest.

Sas: There's no response.

Sas: Did Nobume-san read my message and ignore it like always,

Sas: or did something happen on her end, as well?

Sas: There you have it, Kondo-san.

Sas: Unfortunately for you, our men have already closed off the entire area.

Sas: You have nowhere to run.

Sas: They came here to save you,

Sas: so there's a very simple way to save them.

Sas: You just have to die.

Sas: Let's work together and put an end to this mess.

Sas: Come on out, now.

Kat: Kondo...

Kat: I'll distract them. Take that chance to run.

Kat: I came here to save you,

Kat: so I can't drag you down with me.

Kon: That so?

Kon: Then...

Kon: With this, we're even.

Kon: You saved me first.

Kon: So now it's your turn to hold me back.

Kat: Kondo...

Kon: I was going to be ex*cuted.

Kon: I wouldn't have minded, as long as I could protect my comrades.

Kon: Or so I thought.

Kon: But I've gotten greedy since you saved me.

Kon: I've started wanting to see those guys again.

Kon: And I've gained another comrade I want to share a drink with.

Kon: Katsura, I don't want to die yet.

Kon: I don't want to let you die, either.

Kon: So let me ask you, as well.

Kon: Lend me your strength, Katsura, so that we might see those guys once again.

Kon: As long as you don't die,

Kon: and as long as I don't die,

Kon: the other also won't die.

Kon: Don't let go, okay?

Sas: He hasn't changed.

Sas: That man is still the same.

Mat: How are they looking?

Mat: The master plan devised by one of the most eminent sons

Sign ,: Roshigumi Station

Mat: of the famed Sasaki family, Sasaki Isaburo: the Roshigumi.

Mat: Is there anyone who could come in handy?

Sas: It seems my master plan didn't have any basis in reality.

Sas: I ordered them to discuss and implement an internal structure,

Sas: but they've been like this for days.

Sas: They don't even seem like they can contain themselves, let alone Joi Rebels.

Mat: Well, no need to worry.

Mat: Stray dogs have their own ways of doing things.

Ymz: That makes it seven schools.

Ymz: If any of you got a problem with me, bring it.

Ymz: I, Mountain Zaki, will gladly take you on anytime.

Mountain,: Mountain Zaki

Ymz: If there's nobody else, I can be the leader—

Kon: Hey.

Kon: You're pretty good.

Ymz: Huh? What's your problem?

Ymz: Taking a b*ating like that without throwing a single punch in return?

Ymz: No ordinary man would be capable of that, boss.

Ymz: Hey, tend to him.

Ymz: He might be our boss someday.

Ymz: Hold it!

Ymz: You the hicks always practicin' swings in the corner?

Ymz: I don't know or care which school you belong to,

Ymz: but if you're tryin' to become leader, I'll destroy you and your students anytime.

Ymz: Bring it on!

Kon: Nah, I'll pass.

Kon: If we've got the time to fight among ourselves,

Kon: we'd be better off spending it doing swings.

Ymz: Draw your sword!

Ymz: That's fine by me!

Ymz: Show me the results of all those practice swings!

Kon: I said I'm not interested, Mashin Hero Wataru.

Ymz: It's Mountain Zaki!

Kon: A leader doesn't need the strength to subdue a comrade.

Kon: All he needs is the strength to protect one.

Kon: Compared to you, who hit a comrade,

Kon: a guy lying flat on his back after not hitting back is better suited to be leader,

Kon: Tokoroten Wataru.

Ymz: Mountain Zaki!

Kon: All right, back to training.

Ymz: I see how it is, boss.

Ymz: Then you should keep practicing your swings even while I b*at you to a pulp!

Kon: Don't.

Kon: The practice swings of our Hick School

Kon: can k*ll a person, you know.

Kon: Though I don't mind training with you at any time.

Kon: Interested, Mountain Zaki?

Ymz: N-No...

Ymz: I'm not Mountain Zaki.

Ymz: My name is Yamazaki Sagaru.

Ymz: I-It's a pleasure, boss!

Sign ,: To Be Continued

Preview Blue,: Preview

Ymz: Hey! The hell are you?

Ymz: You're the punk who's been sneaking around lately, aren't you?

Ymz: You can't fool this Mountain Zaki's nose.

Ymz: Do you know what this place is?!

Ymz: Try anything funny, and the Roshigumi will arrest you—

Hij: You're the one who needs to be arrested.

Ymz: H-Hijikata-san?!

Ymz: Are you trying to piss about, or are you trying to piss me off?

Ymz: Either way, I'll gladly kick your ass.

Ymz: If you don't want that, get back to training.

Ymz: And do a thousand swings extra.

Ymz: Yes, sir!

Ymz: Yamazaki Sagaru, heading back right away!

Hij: One of our men seems to have been rude to you. I'm sorry.

Hij: Wait, aren't you...
