Soy: I'm Tokugawa Shigeshige's little sister,

Soy: Soyo.

Soy: Nobunobu-sama...

Soy: It's you, isn't it?

Sak: What's wrong, Shogun-sama?

Sak: Weren't you tryin' ta get in touch with your retainers on Earth?

Sak: Hello. I'm Sakamoto Tatsuma, of the Kaientai.

Sak: For reasons, I'm workin' with the shogun right now.

Sak: Don't worry. He's perfectly fine.

Sak: And...

G: Admiral!

Sak: With the support of Liberation Army Admiral Shijaku and his faction,

Sak: we've just broken out of jail!

Title: Silver Soul Arc

Title: Bushido Is Found One Second Before Death

G: The comms have been restored.

G: What's going on?

G: Don't tell me, old man Gengai...

G: If the enemy's weapons start working again, we're done for!

Hij: Hurry!

Hij: No matter what, we must find Gengai and free him from the enemy!

Gin: Calm down, you guys.

Gin: That geezer ain't the type to become the enemy's puppet.

Gin: He'll die quietly for us.

Shin: Don't k*ll him off!

Gin: Don't worry.

Gin: He's a surprisingly good communicator,

Gin: so he'll do fine in space or in hell.

Shin: Stop k*lling him off already!

Gin: In more pressing matters,

Gin: I need to take some Hepa, and I need you to get me a sick bag.

Gin: Wait a second. Don't shake me so much.

Gin: I feel sick...

Hij: Hey! Why would you drink until you puke during a w*r?!

Gin: I figured this was the save point before the last boss, too.

Gin: I was planning on recovering all my HP.

Gin: But when I woke up, I found myself rolling in a pit of poison.

Gin: My status screen had turned green.

Gin: Real life doesn't have save points.

Gin: Life is all about how your hitbox grows larger with each step you take.

Gin: In the first place, do you have proof the geezer was abducted?

Oki: He was caught when he took an outdoor dump and was immobile due to no TP.

Oki: There was an unfinished sh*t left on the scene.

Oki: And yet there was no sign he wiped.

Gin: So that means he was taken somewhere with sh*t still stuck to his ass.

Gia: What the hell? That's the most useless deduction ever.

Gia: Can you stake your gramps's name on it? Wouldn't you be ashamed to face him?

Shin: Even if so, maybe Gengai-san left us a clue.

Oki: A clue, huh?

Shin: I see.

Shin: Looks like we've hit the jackpot.

Shin: Okita-san, that's just sh*t. We've sh*t the jackpot.

Oki: Take a closer look.

Shin: The sh*ts are in regular intervals?

Oki: He must've left these markers for us so we could find him.

Shin: What kind of Hansel and Gretel is that?

Oki: If we follow these, we should find Gengai.

Hij: Hey, Sogo, can you stake your gramps's name on it? You can, right?

Gin: It's probably some stray dog's poop.

Shin: Isn't this a bit too orderly for that?

Hij: And can one person really poop this much?

Oki: He might be in danger.

Oki: Let's hurry.

Kon: I guess I drank too much since I saw her after so long.

Kon: I was going to pretend it never happened,

Kon: but I believed that you guys would notice.

Kon: Did you buy spare underwear for me?

Kon: Toshi!

Oki: Oops. It was just a stray gorilla.

Hij: Yeah, that was a stray gorilla. There was no human there.

Hij: Got that, you guys?

Shin: I mean, sure, but are you okay with your leader being a stray gorilla?

Shin: But what now? We're out of leads again.

Hij: Hey, look at that.

Shin: Blood stains? Don't tell me...

Hij: This might be the clue Gengai left us.

Shin: No... You mean Gengai-san is...

Hij: Dunno, but we need to hurry. That much is for sure.

Oki: Hijikata-san,

Oki: can you stake gopchang on that?

Sign: Gopchang (Small Intestines)

Hij: Why do I have to stake gopchang? Let me stake my gramps's name, too!

Shin: Look, the blood's gradually increasing!

Hij: This is bad! Hurry!

Zen: I-I drank too much and had a hemorrhoid expl*si*n.

Zen: But I believed that you would definitely notice.

Sign: Poraginol A

Zen: Please apply this to my ass.

Hij: Hey!

Hij: Your drinking party has left everyone in tatters, their lower halves in particular!

Gin: Don't try to worm out of it with a jab.

Gin: Your deduction was off the mark, so hurry up and bring out the gopchang.

Hij: Make him bring out his gramps first!

Oki: Sorry, Hijikata-san,

Oki: my gramps d*ed a long time ago, so you hurry up and die, too.

Hij: What kind of logic is that? You guys have no right to speak of deductions!

Shin: Enough already! This isn't the time!

Hij: We'll have to use the comms and have people check every nook and cranny.

Kag: This way.

Shin: Kagura-chan?

Oki: You have an idea where he might be?

Kag: Trust my instincts.

Kag: It's on nights like these that the rabbits of the night turn into hunters.

En: Oh? He still has his ears and nose, I see.

Y: It's easy to tell if t*rture will work on someone by looking at their face.

Gen: Hey.

Gen: You the leader of the Liberation Army? I finally get to talk to you.

Gen: As you can see, the comms are back up.

Gen: I wanted to get a good look at your face,

Gen: so I set the virus up to go light.

Gen: But the nanomachines won't stop.

Gen: You guys won't get anywhere close to Earth.

Gen: Because I don't know how to stop them, either.

En: I figured.

En: But that goes the same for us.

En: We cannot stop anymore.

En: We, the Altana Liberation Army,

En: gathered and took up arms to free planets from the Tendoshu's clutches.

En: If any planet refuses to accept our crusade,

En: if any planet decides to fight us,

En: we will grant their wish.

En: Earth, and all of the insects living on it,

En: will be reduced to space dust!

Shi: Forgive me.

Shi: I forced you guys to commit treason, too.

G: It's fine, sir.

Shi: Did anything happen while I was in prison?

G: Admiral, Prince Ensho is...

Sak: We will now work with Admiral Shijaku,

Sak: as well as his home planet, Okoku,

Sak: and Okoku's Prince Dragonia.

Sak: and Stup—I mean Prince Hata,

Sak: and take over the Heavenly Bird, mothership of the Liberation Army's fleet.

Sak: There's still a huge numerical disadvantage,

Sak: but we're already on the mothership.

Sak: If we use this situation ta our advantage, things could work out.

So please pass on a message ta the guys fightin' on Earth:

"Hang in there just a bit longer.

And let's stay alive and meet on Earth for sure."

Will that do, Shogun-sama?

Shi: What?!

Shi: I-Is that true?

Sak: Admiral?

Sak: What's wrong?

Shi: I'm sorry,

Shi: my friends from Earth.

Shi: Everything was too late.

En: w*apon of destruction, the Flame of Kagutsuchi.

En: The Heavenly Bird is but a platform for this massive w*apon.

En: Since it has the power to destroy a planet in one sh*t,

En: it was deemed a forbidden w*apon and sealed away for ages...

Shi: But we brought it back when we started our crusade.

Shi: The Flame of Kagutsuchi has already begun preparing to fire.

Shi: In other words,

Shi: six hours from now, that blue planet will be gone from the universe.

Gen: If you can't get close to Earth,

Gen: you'll finish things off with one sh*t from space?

Gen: After making so many sacrifices in this w*r, you want to reduce it to nothing?

Gen: Along with your comrades still on this planet, who joined you in your cause?

En: That's the reason.

En: To ensure that our comrades' sacrifices aren't in vain,

En: our crusade cannot end in a loss.

En: Our comrades on Earth would be glad to become the foundation for our victory.

G: Prince, what exactly are we fighting?

G: Destroy a planet along with our comrades on it?

G: Wouldn't that make us the same as the Tendoshu?

G: Please stop, Prince.

G: This is no crusade!

En: Just cause is but an excuse readied for weaklings who can't fight without a reason.

En: I knew all along

En: that defeating the Tendoshu won't bring back what we've lost.

En: Then why do we fight?

En: Isn't it because that's the only thing we have left?

En: Having lost even our means to soothe our hatred and sorrow,

En: all we can do is keep burning them in the flames of w*r.

En: It is as you see.

En: We're prepared to walk over the corpses of our comrades to fight...

G: Prince!

Sak: Run!

Shi: There's no time!

Shi: Or any sh*t at victory!

Sak: So what?

Sak: Whether we have a sh*t at victory or not, what we must do remains the same!

Sak: Yeah. It changes nothing.

Sak: Whoever said bushido is found in death was right on the money.

G: The reinforcements from Planet Okoku have arrived.

Kat: Good.

Kat: Deploy at the edge of the Liberation Army's radar net at once.

Kat: Lure the enemy fleet as far away from its mothership as possible.

Kat: We'll use that chance to raid the mothership with our stealth ship.

Hata: Why is this happening?

Kat: So says Prince Dragonia.

Sak: Even if the end will arrive in one second,

Sak: live your life so you don't leave any regrets.

Sak: That's the samurai way.

Gin: I will never drink again!

Soy: Sakamoto-san...

Soy: Sakamoto-san!

Soy: Sakamoto-san! Sakamoto-san!

NbNb: Rest assured.

NbNb: I will protect Edo and our country, no matter what.

NbNb: That's what your brother would say, right?

NbNb: That's what a real shogun would say.

NbNb: Unfortunately, I have neither the right nor the capability to do so,

NbNb: but I do have the right to act as the country's stepping stone.

NbNb: So many people d*ed failing to protect what they wished to protect,

NbNb: and I have the right to die for the things they left behind.

NbNb: Forgive me.

Soy: I won't forgive you.

Soy: Unless you come back alive,

Soy: I won't forgive you.

Soy: Come back here, accompany me to Brother's grave,

Soy: and report to him that we protected Edo.

Soy: If you don't...

Soy: I'll never forgive you!

Y: That prince came up with quite the interesting plan.

Y: To think he would thr*aten us, too...

Y: Let the Liberation Army on Earth know.

G: "HQ has abandoned us.

G: If you want to avoid dying with Earth,

G: you only have two options:

G: either do something about the nanomachine virus,

G: or bring down this country by dawn"?

G: Elder Son, what shall we do?

Son: Isn't it obvious?

Son: We'll survive and k*ll that brat.

Son: Gengai, you say you don't have the means to stop the nanomachine virus,

Son: but what if I say it can be the means to k*ll that prince?

En: How pitiful.

En: They are Earth's last hope?

G: I-Is this an error?

En: What's the matter?

G: The radar is detecting several ships behind the Heavenly Bird.

G: But there's no way such a large army could be here...

Hata: It's no error.

Hata: Members of the Liberation Army,

Hata: your actions toward Earth are nothing but an invasion in the name of liberation!

Hata: Even if the universe will stand for this savagery, we will not!

Hata: Planet Okoku's...

Hata: ...Gramps says he won't stand for it.

Jii: Wh-Why, you!

Jii: Why are you trying to blame someone else and save your skin now, Prince Hog?

Hata: But I haven't done anything!

Hata: I was just suddenly carried off and told to read this note out loud!

Jii: Then I've done practically nothing all these years!

Jii: All I did was grow my beard! I was just a walking corpse!

Hata: Do some damn work!

Hata: How'd things end up like this, anyway?

Hata: Who was it that said we'd fight? He can read the note!

Jii: Which one of you said we'd fight?

Jii: Raise your hand! I won't yell at you!

Hata: Fine. Everyone close your eyes.

Hata: I'll close mine, too.

Hata: Only the Liberation Army needs to know.

Jii: Don't peek. No cheating, okay?

Jii: Whoever stole the lunch money, fess up!

Hata: Not the lunch money bit!

Mad: No fair! That was a fake-out?

Mad: You all said you'd keep your eyes closed!

Hata: There was a lunch money thief among us!

Mad: Not exactly lunch money.

Mad: You only fed me dog food, so I just stole some of your pudding from the fridge!

Hata: I was wondering why my royal pudding always went missing! It was you?

Mad: Shut it!

Mad: You get to eat amazing food every day, so quit whining over pudding!

Jii: Prince, let me handle this punk.

Jii: How dare you steal my one job?!

Jii: Give back my pudding!

Hata: You ate them, too?!

G: Follow the prince!

G: Open intercepting fire!

Kat: So it begins. I hope they manage to escape later.

Kat: Then shall we go, too?

Kat: I hope you're all ready.

G: Katsura-san, you needn't ask now.

G: We'll expel the aliens threatening our country to protect it.

G: We are...

Kat: I am...

Kat: Joi Rebel Katsura Kotaro!

Kat: I swear on my name that I shall deliver divine judgment upon the Liberation Army!

Kat: Let's go!

En: Beautiful.

En: Such a pure, beautiful light.

En: There's no doubt about it.

En: This is a crusade.

Hij: Earth will blow in six hours?

Hij: Is that why the Liberation Army's on the move again?

Mat: I didn't expect them to give their troops a kick up their backside this way.

Hij: Is there anything we can do, Pops?

Mat: Well, are there any cabaret clubs still open?

Hij: Don't go giving up!

Mat: No! I'm sure there are cabaret girls who will fight until the world ends.

Hij: I wasn't talking about them!

Mat: Toshi, giving up isn't such a bad thing.

Mat: You guys throw Earth aside and go rescue Gengai!

Hij: Earth is the one thing we shouldn't throw aside!

Gin: It's not like you'll throw it at nobody.

Gin: I don't know if they're worthy of being tasked with saving the world,

Gin: but there are some guys who are even more persistent than us...

Gin: There's a guy who won't sit back and watch the world be destroyed.

Gin: That's for sure.

Kat: What's going on?

G: We've been hit!

Kat: No... Does the enemy mothership have

Kat: some scouting function that surpasses our stealth function?!

Kat: Don't falter!

Kat: Charge in!

Shi: Hurry this way!

Shi: Fall back!

Shi: Change direction!

G: The control system broke!

G: We can't steer!

G: At this rate, we won't reach the enemy mothership!

G: Katsura-san!

Sak: One after another...

En: Burn.

En: Turn into ash.

G: We're under att*ck from the right!

G: That's...

G: That fleet is...

Kat: What the—

Tak: What are you wasting time for?

Tak: Keep up or I'll leave you behind,

Tak: Zura.

Tak: This won't do.

Tak: I don't care if you're the Liberation Army or whatever,

Tak: but you can't do whatever you want while I'm gone.

Tak: You're hurting my business.

Sak: Y-You...

Tak: A w*apon of destruction that'll erase Earth?

Tak: Sorry, but it won't get a chance to shine.

Tak: The one to destroy this world

Tak: will be me.

Sign: The Silver Soul Arc

Sign: will be back.

Sign: Look forward to it!!

TextR: You know how plays and old movies

TextL: have breaks in the middle?

TextR: Sorry, but we're doing the same.

TextL: It's now the intermission.
