Warning: Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!!!!!

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.

Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan

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?
