Gin: We would've made a whole bunch of money if you hadn't gotten in my way there!
Shin: What are you saying? Don't ignore your own mistake!
Gin: I didn't make any mistakes.
Kag: Oh, Sadaharu. We're home.
Shin: If that wasn't a mistake, I don't know what is!
Kag: Hey! Stop crying over spilled milk!
Gin: Uh, it was your fault in the first place!
Shin: Uh, it was your fault in the first place!
U: You gave everything you have, and made so many sacrifices,
U: but what you've gained is so trifling in comparison.
U: All you've done is momentarily strip me of my armor of immortality.
U: Besides, as I'm sure you realize,
U: your feeble flame of hope is already fading.

Shin: Good morning!
Shin: I'm sorry.
Shin: Sis has a cold, which is why I'm a bit late.
Shin: Good morning, Sadaharu.
Shin: Oh, right.
Shin: I'm home, Sadaharu.
Kag: The rain got me good.
Kag: I should've left sooner.
Kag: I've always hated walking home in this weather.
Kag: Wet streets,
Kag: and an empty home.
Kag: This just brings back bad memories.
Kag: Huh? Sadaharu?
Kag: Where'd he run off to?
Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan
Kag: I'm home.
Kag: Uh, you just got here, too.
Gin: I'm sick of puking.
Gin: I keep saying I'll never drink again, but this time I swear I'll stick to it.
Gin: Crap, my head hurts like it's being split open.
Gin: It's like there's an elephant on my head.
Gin: Oh, Sadaharu, help me out here.
Gin: I drank too much, and I can't move.
Gin: Take me inside, please.
Gin: What's with that look?
Gin: Why do you have to be so demanding?
Gin: Relax. I did buy you something.
Gin: Go get that bag.
Gin: It's monja. Eat up.
Gin: Ow! My headache got worse!
Gin: And I can't see anything! Help, Sadaharu!
Gin: Huh? I'm better now.
Gin: I'm good now, Sadaharu.
Gin: Thanks for your help.
Gin: Also...
Gin: I'm home.
Shin: Sadaharu, wait just a bit.
Shin: Very soon,
Shin: we'll come home to you.
Shin: So please...
Shin: Bark for us one more time.
Shin: Welcome us home with a bark!
U: It's over.
U: He d*ed,
U: and the dragon revived.
U: You gave me a surprisingly hard time.
U: However...
U: Now, I can welcome the end of the world with no resistance.

Gin: Sadaharu...
U: What is this?
Oto: Good grief.
Oto: How many more sacrifices will we have to offer for our planet to calm down?
Cat: Well, if we offer her a mutt and three stooges, she might just return them.
Tae: True.
Tae: In that case,
Tae: let's have her take all the lives she wants from here until she's satisfied.
Gin: Y-You guys...
Tae: We won't make you guys carry the burden alone.
Tae: This is our planet.
Tae: We'll fight together with you until the end.
Tae: So don't give in, guys.
Tae: You're not alone.
Nob: Using life as a power source?
Ane: Yes. Ordinary people can't suppress ley lines like we can.
Ane: But if we act as mediums, they could convert their life energy into Zen power.
Mone: That's absurd.
Mone: We'd be making them carry the fated duty of our clan.
Mone: We'd be asking them to give up their lives to suppress the ley lines here.
Mone: Do you think he or the rest are fighting out of some sense of duty?
Mone: Komako!
Nob: Yes.
Nob: Even without a duty,
Nob: they would surely stand there...
Nob: Just to stand with their friends.
Ane: Take it!
Mone: Our power!
Bo: Everyone's feelings!
U: Who do you humans think you are?
Kyu: Stop us if you can.
Kyu: We will not take a single step back from here!
Jir: We've come this far together,
Jir: so we'll go with you all the way, be it to heaven or hell!
Tsu: No matter how many times you revive,
Tsu: we will keep standing back up!
Zen: We won't let anyone else die!
Sac: So guys, just one more time...
U: Begone.
U: Just how far will you take your futile resistance?
U: Humans, I know you better than you know yourselves.
U: You're foolish, cowardly, cruel, and filthy creatures.
U: Creatures that kept repeating their mistakes, caused much suffering,
U: and never stopped fearing me.
U: Creatures that I have k*lled over and over.
U: Creatures that I shall put an end to now...
U: No, creatures that are already done for.
U: Yes.
U: They should be done for by now.
U: The humanity I know
U: would've been afraid, given up, despaired,
U: and everything would've been over already.
U: But what is with these people?
U: What is this emotion I'm feeling?
Nob: You're right.
Nob: Humans are foolish, cowardly, and cruel creatures.
Nob: But there's one thing you're forgetting.
Nob: Humans are creatures that fight their own weakness.
Gin: The creatures you know of no longer exist here,
Gin: creature who fears humanity!
U: Fear? Me?
U: Fear humans?
U: No, that is wrong.
U: I simply don't understand
U: the human who caused me, who had always cursed people,
U: to give birth to another self that loved people.
U: Why?
U: You shouldn't be able to stand anymore.
U: Your sword should've been broken forever.
U: So why?
U: Why do you still stand there?
U: Why is it?
U: I don't understand.
U: I don't understand!
U: No, I knew all along.
U: That knowledge is what made me want to get rid of him.
U: Him, who could possibly erase even me.
U: I know all too well...
U: That boy,
U: and how powerful humanity can be.
U: To think that man was still a part of me...
U: A mere fragment born to me as I drifted through countless lives.
U: But he has destroyed my eternity.
U: I was the one who was a mere fragment, huh?
Hat: Brother!
Mad: Hang in there!
Shi: This is bad.
Shi: At this rate, the Flame of Kagutsuchi's energy will...
Shi: I-Is there nothing we can do?
Han: Now, I could get through the security, access the Heavenly Bird's central systems,
Han: and maybe get that energy under control.
Sho: Hankai!
Shi: Wh-What are our chances of success?
Han: You're better off not knowing.
Han: But as long as it's not zero percent, it isn't impossible.
Han: We still have hope.
Sho: I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth.
Sak: No matter how it turns out,
Sak: our destination remains the same.
Kat: Earth or hell, it makes no difference.
Shi: You two...
Sak: Wherever it is, they...
Kat: They'll be standing there, waiting for us.
Shin: What is that?
Kag: A spaceship?
U: Humans.
U: This isn't the end.
U: You have gone and chosen...
U: An endless w*r,
U: and a life dyed in sorrow and suffering.
U: Nobody can put an end to it for you anymore.
U: There is nobody who can save you people anymore.
U: One day, you will truly understand,
U: Shoyo's student...
U: You couldn't save Shoyo.
U: Nobody can save your teacher anymore.
Shin: The land of the samurai.
Shin: There was a time, long ago, when our country was called by that name.
Shin: The skies over Edo, which the samurai laid their lives down to defend,
Shin: are again filled with ships from strange worlds.
Shin: The streets of Edo, which the samurai laid their lives down to defend,
Shin: are again filled with swaggering, arrogant aliens.
Shin: Two years since that fateful day...
Shin: Even as it bore the scars of w*r,
Shin: Edo was slowly, but surely, returning to the city it used to be.
Manager: I told you that's not the one!
Manager: Nowadays, even a golden retriever can handle the register!
Manager: You're human! You've been working here for a month!
Manager: Why can't you do this?!
Manager: You moron!
Manager: You remind me of another good-for-nothing kid who used to work here.
Ama: Just leave it at that, boss.
Ama: Hey, kid, don't you bother with the register. Just get me some milk.
Kid: R-Right away.
Manager: S-Sir, you mustn't go so easy on him.
Ama: It's just, whenever I see a samurai these days, I feel kind of sorry for them.
Ama: This country's resources were completely depleted in the w*r two years ago,
Ama: and it can't even feed its people anymore.
Ama: The way they suck up to everyone to live makes them look like dead men walking.
Ama: When I see them like that...
Kid: Thanks for waiting.
Ama: I want to extend not only a hand, but also a leg!
Shin: Uh, excuse me.
Ama: What is wrong with you?!
Ama: Are you aware that we are Chatoran ambassadors?!
Shin: Blah, blah, blah.
Shin: Could you keep it down?
Shin: Are you in heat or something?
