Gintama Movie 1: Shinyaku Benizakura-hen (2010)

Post by bunniefuu »

"Yorozuya GIN-CHAN"

Gintama finally makes it to the big screen!

It's been long years since the
Jump Festa Anime Tour.

We finally made it!

But the TV series already ended in March...

So it's kind of like a close-out sale.

Hey, don't put a damper on our
big screen debut.

Why are the Warner Brothers making
a samurai anime anyway?

Who are they?

Sunrise must be trying to expand overseas
and approached them saying,

"This anime is a mega-hit in Japan!"
or something like that.

Mr. w*r and Mr. Ner. Such pushovers...

Mr. w*r and Mr. Ner?!
What kind of brothers are they?!

Aren't they like the So brothers?

They're not marathon runners!

More like the Yoshida brothers.

They don't play shamisen, either!

I'm out of responses. I'm speechless.

The screen's frozen, too.

That's right.

It's a Gintama specialty - Background only.

Stop making things up!

This is your cinematic debut, right?

If it's a hit, there may be a sequel.
Or a series. An annual release!

You're way too laid back about this!

All right, all right. I'll get serious.

Okay. Roll it.

The land of the samurai.

There was a time, long ago,

when our country was called by that name.

Wait! Stop!

"Yorozuya GIN-CHAN"

C'mon... Where are you starting from?

From the beginning, of course.

There are aliens called Amanto
who've made a puppet of the Edo Shogunate...

There was the Expulsion w*r, where we tried
to kick all foreigners out of Edo and...

There were the Loyalists Katsura and Takasugi
who fought in that w*r, and...

There's Gin, who's actually the White Demon.

I think we get the idea.

Only hard-core fans who already know
the premise will come anyway.

We're very selective.

So skip the niceties. We're wasting time.

I think this background-only is a waste of time.
We haven't even introduced the Yorozuya g*ng.

So introduce the trio and get on with it.

The hero of this story and
the owner of Yorozuya Gin:

"Gintoki Sakata"

"Gintoki Sakata"

Gintoki Sakata, Spirit of the Samurai!

The heroine, and the bright flower of Yorozuya,
whose only drawback is her appetite:

Everyone's idol... the adorable Kagura!

"Kagura"

And...

"Glasses"

Glasses.

Hey!

Now for Gintama - The Benizakura Arc Rehash!

That's it? "Glasses"?!

What about Shinpachi Shimura?

Please sit back and enjoy.

Why do I get this treatment even in the movie?!

"Gintama Theatrical Production Committee"

Everyone...

You will learn many things going forward.

Naturally, if you continue on this path,
you will also face many obstacles.

What you do then, is totally up to you.

I don't know if I can always be there with you.

So I'm imparting these words to you now.

"GINTAMA
THE BENIZAKURA ARC
REHASH"

Excuse me.

Are you Mr. Kotaro Katsura?

You got the wrong guy.

Don't worry. I'm no police dog.

You're a dog all right. A rabid, blood-thirsty dog.

I heard there's a serial k*ller roaming the streets.
You'd better watch whom you bite.

My partner and I have been hungry
for a worthy opponent.

How about a swordfight?

That sword...

My my... That was easy...

"Special Police Shinsengumi Garrison"

What? Takasugi...

Yeah... The information is good.
It's from the police.

So Takasugi's still in Edo...

Takasugi...

He really whipped us the last time.

Because you took so damn long in the john!

Wait a minute...

Then logically speaking, you work way harder
than me yet you're more useless than I am?

Shut up!

Cut it out, Toshi!

Shinsuke Takasugi's one of the most
dangerous ronin out there.

Rumor has it that he's assembled Nizo Okada,
master swordsman, a.k.a. Nizo the k*ller.

Matako Kijima, gunslinger, a.k.a. Crimson b*llet.

Henpeita Takechi, the genius strategist...

and Bansai Kawakami, the mysterious samurai.

Takasugi resurrected the Kiheitai
around these core members...

The Kiheitai?

You mean that troop led by Takasugi
during the Expulsion w*r?

Yeah... They say they're like a pack of demons.

But what does he plan to do with the Kiheitai?

He assembled his strongest men
to implement a coup d'etat.

Kondou, He's a dangerous man.

I see...

Toshi, gather all the information that you can.

Okay.

And Kondou...

Do you really have to train naked?

More trouble!

Another m*rder!

What's all the fuss?

They found another body.

Another? How many victims so far?

They say he only kills ronin.
We don't dare go out at night!

I guess that means we're stuck
with our wives for awhile.

"YOROZUYA GIN-CHAN"

"SNACK OTOSE"

Your tea.

And the purpose of your visit?

What's with this? Why is she silent?

She's scaring me!

Is she mad? Did I do something wrong?

Mad? It looks like she's smiling.

Shinpachi, it must be your tea.

I bet she prefers coffee.
You should be able to tell by now.

That's why you'll always be second rate.

How was I supposed to know?

You can tell by her mouth.

It looks like a coffee bean.

You lack the power of observation!

Your coffee.

Hey! She still looks mad!

Ow!

You're the one who said coffee bean!

No, I said a side view of a hamburger.

Give me a break!

Why should I be intimidated in my own home?

It's her eyes. They're mesmerizing.

Hm? Yes, Yorozuya.

Shinpachi, it's our last resort. Go get it.

Huh? But Gin will k*ll us if we use it.

Never mind. He needs to be
weaned off it anyway.

He's an orphan.

We have a duty to raise him well.

I'm going out for a while.

Where are you going?!

To work! I'll leave the customer to you.

Liar! You're just running away!

Your strawberry milk.

Elizabeth, samurai eat only pure, simple foods.

If you go on consuming things like
strawberry milk and ice cream

not only your body, but also
your soul will deteriorate.

"Strawberry Milk"

She's crying! We did it!

She loves strawberry milk!

Good job, Shinpachi!

Good job? Did I do that?

Excuse me, it's Yorozuya.

Excuse me, it's Yorozuya...

"SWORDSMITH"

Excuse me, it's Yorozuya.

EXCUSE ME, IT'S YOROZUYA!

What do you want?!

I'M FROM YOROZUYA! YOU CALLED!

We don't want no newspaper!

Stupid idiot shithead can't hear me.

Oh, sorry about that!

I was working so hard,
my hands were slippery with sweat!

No problem.

He heard me...

I forgot to tell you!

My sister and I are swordsmiths!
I'm Tetsuya, and this is...

Introduce yourself, Tetsuko!

Or else Mr. Sakata won't know
what to call you, Tetsuko!

You already said her name. Loud and clear.

Please excuse her! She's such a shy little thing!

It must be hard times for you
with the Sword Ban!

So! I have a job for you!

Hey, did he not hear me?

A special sword made by my father
has been stolen! He called it Benizakura!

Really, now?! What in the world
is this Benizakura?!

I would like you to find it for me!

Did he not hear me again?

The sword was forged by my father,
the greatest swordsmith in Edo!

It was his masterpiece!

It could cut through rock and
had a pale, pink sheen!

It was beautiful, like cherry blossoms at night!

There will never be another like it!

I'm moved!

Do you have any idea who took it?

It wasn't meant for human hands!

Mister! Talk like a normal person!

Can't you hear me? Look at me!

My father d*ed suddenly one month
affer forging Benizakura.

Ever since, terrible things
have befallen those who wield it!

It's a cursed blade that sucks the soul out of you!

Give me a break, will you?

That means something bad's
gonna happen to me!

Mr. Sakata!

Please retrieve Benizakura
before calamity strikes again!

Listen! You haven't responded
to a single thing I said!

When you talk to him...

...you have to go closer and yell in his ear.

Really?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

SHUT UP!

So you found this here? This bloody wallet?

And you haven't seen Katsura in a while?

Why didn't you tell us earlier, Elizabeth?

"You may have heard about the serial killings in Edo..."

Elizabeth, you know very well that Katsura
would never let some random k*ller touch him.

But clearly, something happened to him.

We'd better find out quickly, or else.

Katsura...

"It may be too late..."

"GWAGHK!!"

IDIOT!

If you don't believe in him, who will?!

When you fell into the hands
of that no-good magistrate...

Katsura didn't give up until he rescued you!

What can you do in return, Elizabeth?!

What can you do for Katsura?! Say it! Say it!

That hurt, dammit...

Let go or I'll turn you into mincemeat.

Sorry!

Shinpachi... I'll go with Sadaharu to look for him.

Go with Ellie and find out about this k*ller!

"RECYCLED GOODS SHOP"

"EARTH DEFENSE ARMY BASE"

Sorry to bother you.

No luck here.

I was sure it would be pawned.
I guess they're not affer money.

Looking for something... Mister?

I'm working. Working.
None of your business. b*at it.

Sorry to bother you, then.

There's a serial k*ller running around.

None of his victims have survived,
but there has been one eyewitness.

They say the sword he carried...

...it was like a living creature.

Wh-where did you...

Word gets around, huh?

Lord Bansai, the doors are opening soon.

Lord Bansai, they're opening now!

The doors are opening.

I heard you.

Safe travels.

Yeah.

So... will these fools be charmed
by my eloquence?

A once in a lifetime production.

Who's that, Abuto?

Just some country bumpkin.
Called "samurai", something or other.

So, there are still some interesting
characters out there...

What? Don't start that again.

We're going.

Don't even think about
messing with our customers.

I wouldn't dream of it.

"SAKE"

"TAKE DOWN THE SERIAL k*ller"

Reporting!

Elizabeth! I brought your favorite bun!

"I ORDERED THE
CROQUETTE BUN."

They were out of your croquette bun, so I bought the nearest thing. Sorry!

So did the k*ller show up?

I still think it's absurd...
asking the k*ller directly about Katsura.

We don't even know if he's the right guy.

What are you doing?!

"ELIGO "

"DON'T STAND BEHIND ME"

I can't tell your front from your back anyway!

Hey.

"TAKE DOWN THE SERIAL k*ller"

"Patrol"

What are you doing here, you scoundrels?!

Oh, a watchman. Don't scare us like that.

Doesn't matter if I scared you or not.
I said, what are you doing out?

"ELIGO "

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS."

Haven't you guys heard?
There's been some serial...

There's a serial k*ller on the loose.

Elizabeth!

I come all the way out here looking for
that cursed sword and who do I run into?

G-Gin!

It's you... I knew I smelled something familiar.

Nizo the k*ller!

Are you the serial k*ller?

And Gin... what are you doing here?

I guess we both have business with Nizo,
don't we Shinpachi?

I'm touched. You came all this way for me?

I heard this sword invites misfortune,
but it seems to attract warriors.

It led me to Katsura and now you...
It must be a lucky sword for me.

What did you do with Katsura?!

Oh, was he your friend? Sorry to hear that.

I just got my hands on this new sword.
I had to try it out on someone.

Zura would never be k*lled
by some low-life like you.

I said I was sorry... Oh, yes.

I'll give you a keepsake.

I took his topknot, but I'm sure
he'd prefer you to have it.

Is Katsura really a man?
His hair is so silky. Just like a girl.

Don't make me say it again.

Zura would never be k*lled
by some low-life like you.

I'm no match for him, I know.
But it wasn't me that k*lled him.

It just used my body. Right, Benizakura?

What...?

It's totally dark.

We'd better head back. Gin-chan will be worried.

Maybe not.

Zura will be all right. He's a tough cookie.

We'll call it a day and try again tomorrow...

Sadaharu...?

Sadaharu? Do you smell Zura?

What's that ship?

Hey...

Did you find him?

Nizo must be at it again. He laid low
for a while affer that ronin got him.

But he's dangerous.

He was just bragging that he
took down some guy called Katsura...

If anyone finds out about the sword...

Sadaharu, you take this to Gin-chan, okay?

Don't dilly dally. Even if you see
a cute doggie, no humping!

Here I go.

Gin!

"ELIGO "

"THIS ANIME'S SO VIOLENT!"

There!

Funny...

I thought you were stronger than this.

Funny... is that really a katana?

They said that katana was like a living creature...
You gotta be kidding.

But that's no living creature.

It's a monster!

Gin!

A fight...

...is not fought by sword alone!

What?

This is no fight!

It's a death match.

Gin!

Uh oh... I'm in trouble.

No... No...

Gin...

Gin... Gin...

Gin!

Do you regret it? Not k*lling me off
when you had the chance?

If you had, you and Katsura might still be alive.

The consequence for half-heartedness.
White Demon...

He must be so disappointed.

His comrades all gathered here, but for what?

Weak samurai like you destroyed our nation.

If it were me by his side,
this would have never happened!

Principles? Ethics?

What does a samurai need of that nonsense?

All a samurai needs is a sword.

And yours is broken. You're no longer a samurai.

And you are no longer needed here.
You can just vanish from this nation.

My sword is broken?

I have another one that I've been saving.

Oh, my.

You cut off my arm. You're such a bully.

I'll take your leff arm, too!

What's going on down there?

Tch. We have some company.

Time out for now. We'll resume later.

Wait!

Gin! Are you all right?

Shinpachi, I knew you'd
come through in the end.

Gin?

GIN!

Do you work on this ship?

How about a tour?

Or would you prefer a b*llet through the head?

Hey! Are you listening?

The Moon is huge tonight.

I thought Princess Kaguya would appear tonight
but I got a tomboy instead.

Who the hell are you?

How dare you att*ck Lord Shinsuke!

Put down your g*n!
You can't outdraw Matako Kijima!

Hmph. Matako, I can see your
dirty panties from here.

You think you can trick me?

I change my underwear every day!

No, I swear, they're stained. They're full of stains!

How dare you insult me
in front of Lord Shinsuke!

Lord Shinsuke! I promise,
I change them every day!

sh*t! Takechi-senpai, she went that way!

Hands off, everyone.

Samurai don't k*ll women or children.
We capture them alive.

Takechi-senpai! Get over your Lolita fetish!

She's an intruder. Don't let her get away!

Lolita? No, feminist.

Enemy or not, a feminist
is always kind to women...

Who is this little brat?

She's a whippersnapper!

Zura! Where are you?

I know you're here! Answer me!

Now! Hold her down!

Zura! I'm coming for you!

I can't believe it...

She's heading for the factory!

What the...?

Now that you've seen it, I have to k*ll you.

You use the sword only out of
your fear of others. Put it down.

It is not to k*ll the enemy,
but to carve away weakness.

It is not to defend yourself,
but to protect your soul.

Gintoki.

Can't you hear him? I can.

Because... I still have a black beast
writhing within me!

I have to persevere until the beast is dead!

You woke up. Thank goodness.

You were so still, I thought you were dead.

Are you conscious now? Do you know who I am?

A girl who's as flat as a board?

What are you doing here?

Shin-chan asked me to take care of you.

Why are you carrying a naginata, then?

Shin-chan asked me to make sure you
got your rest and stop you if you tried to leave.

Stop me? As in k*ll me?

Where's Shinpachi and Kagura?

They're... out on an errand.

What errand?

Never mind. You need some rest.
Let's read JUMP comics.

You...

I told you not to move.

What if your wound opens up?

Elizabeth... Is that Katsura's...

Not another
word.

Kagura's not back yet.

Only Sadaharu came back
this morning with this paper...

It got wet in the rain, but it looks like a map.

I haven't told Gin.

If he found out, he would go
despite his condition.

Where are you going?

Ow ow ow ow!
Where are you going?

To take a piss.

You can do it in here.

Can I help you?

Ah, uhm...

Ah.. If you need Gin, he's...

I'm right here. Come in.

I was expecting you.

You really took a b*ating.

First, you take Benizakura without asking.

Then you dare to show up
with your tail between your legs?

I hope you're ready to take responsibility
and slit your belly, Okada.

I brought it back, despite my arm.
Give me some credit.

It was a good experience for Benizakura.

Your egotism is getting out of hand.

You always seem to find a way
to irritate Lord Shinsuke.

Think you're tough? Don't make me laugh.

The only reason you b*at Katsura is because...

Don't take this personally...

It's encroaching on my body,
like it owns me or something.

You'd better watch what you say to me.

"Yorozuya GIN-CHAN"

You came to tell me the truth, right?

You can't fool me with talk about
some cursed sword...

What is that thing?

Who created that monster?

Okada... you...

They're a nuisance.

We're here to wreak havoc in this wasteland...
To become a legend.

But they're always glimmering behind me.

So irritating.

It's time for old legends to wither
and make way for the new!

They're not his comrades anymore.

We are.

Benizakura is a mechanical anti-warship
mobile w*apon modeled affer my father's sword.

Using artificial intelligence it lives
in its host, eventually taking it over.

It compiles actual combat data and
continually upgrades its capabilities.

A living katana.

There's only one person in Edo
who could create such a thing...

Please... stop my brother.

They... Takasugi... will use it to burn
Edo down to the ground.

How capricious.

Creating such a w*apon
in an age of cannons and g*ns.

And scheming to overthrow
the Shogunate at that!

Talk is cheap. A hero always delivers.

I never talk unless I can deliver.

Let's show them that samurai and swords
are still alive and kicking.

I don't care about your aspirations.

I'm a swordsmith!

The only thing I know is...

This sword is invincible!

So at the end of the day,
your brother just used me.

He asked me to find the sword,
so it could taste my blood.

Or did Nizo put him up to it? Or both?

And now you want me to help your brother?

Your skin must be as thick as a volume of JUMP.

I have no excuse.

But if the truth comes out, he'll be destroyed.

You must really love him. He's an accomplice
to m*rder yet you look the other way?

Gin!

My beloved father used to say...

A sword is but a blade that kills.

I can invest my soul into it,
but I can't choose its master.

These words have become a part of us.

My brother is just a fool who knows nothing else.

Always forging steel, trying to surpass our father.

He even sought financiers to start
researching mechanical weapons.

That's when he got involved
with some dodgy people.

But I didn't stop him...

We just focused on sword making.
I told myself, that was our job.

But I knew. It was a w*apon...
A tool to k*ll people.

But... I can't bear it.

I can't bear to see my brother's masterwork
being used in such a destructive way...

But it's come to the point where
I can't stop it on my own.

I don't know what to do... What should I do?

I'm the one who doesn't know what to do...

I'm injured...

My comrade's been k*lled...

My mind is spinning.

Here... I don't want your money.

Go home. I'm through with this.

Gin is out of commission. It's up to me, now.

I know Kagura-chan is on that boat.

But how do I sneak on?

There are ronin everywhere
and they don't look too friendly.

What do I do?

Oh my god, what is that?!

Ow... That damned Nizo.
Who does he think he is?

Let me go!

You think you're going to get away with this?!

Calm down!

Gin-chan is going to mess you up!

Hey, cut it out!
Gin-chan is going to mess you up!

They're already messed up.

She's just a kid!

We shoulda gotten rid of her a long time ago.

But we don't have any information yet.

And these girls really do blossom
in another two, three years...

Get a hold of yourself, lolicon!

I'm not a lolicon.

I'm a feminist.

Look, her wounds have all but healed overnight.

And her superhuman strength.
Her translucent skin...

I've heard enough.

I'm telling you, I'm a feminist!

I just love children.

Exactly, you lolicon!

You'll never understand, you idiot.

Who's an idiot?

That's what I'm saying.

Her characteristics match
those of the Yato Clan. So, die.

You die.

Yato Clan? You mean those mercenaries?

Those hired assassins
that att*cked Lord Shinsuke?

Who's behind it?

All she'll say is Zura.

She's toying with you.

You lolicon feminist, whatever. You gross me out.

Watch how it's done. All it takes is...

Hey...

Do you realize what you've done? I'll k*ll you!

No, wait! In two or three years, she'll blossom...

Let go of me, you freak!

I'm your superior, not a freak!

Who are you?

He looks sketchy.

I've never seen anyone so sketchy.

He's the picture of sketchiness.

Listen... I don't know who you think you are...
but you'd better turn around!

What is she doing? Watch out!

"Excuse me I need some directions."

"To the gates of HELL!"

God of Phlegm, give me power.

That's disgusting. Stop that!

EAT THIS!

What?

What the hell?

What are you doing?

Intruder! Intruder!

Elizabeth!

"GO!"

Thanks, Elizabeth!

I'm relieved.

I thought you'd go, even in your condition.

But then, you'd die.

I guess.

I feel bad for that girl, but it can't be helped.

I guess...

Gin?

Don't do anything unnecessary.
Take better care of yourself.

Shin-chan and Kagura-chan
would be lost without you.

I guess...

You were pretty wild in your day,
but you're getting older now.

Let it go already!

I said I'm not going anywhere,
so go buy me the latest issue of JUMP!

You got the wrong one the last time.
You're just like my mom, dammit!

Okay, okay. Sorry.

Sorry.

Watch it!

"Sorry. Wait for me at your house.
-Yorozuya"

I know I'm getting too old for this.

"My favorite umbrella. Make sure you bring it back."

She's such a pain.

He's such an idiot.

What's all that noise?

The Shinsengumi? Are the police dogs onto us?

No!

What is that?

Takasugi!

You share our mission to protect
our land from foreigners

yet you k*lled our leader, Kotaro Katsura!

It's unforgivable!

We're no longer comrades!

You've crossed the line!

Suffer the wrath of God!

FIRE!

What? Katsura's comrades?

We'll set out immediately!

Payback time for Katsura?

It's all Nizo's fault, that dog.

Payback or not, I think the truth
about Benizakura is out.

I've heard that Katsura's clan
has become more moderate lately.

They want to destroy Benizakura
and quash our uprising.

Perhaps so... Or maybe this girl is one of them
and this att*ck is merely a diversion.

Listen up!

We know what you're affer!

It's this girl.

I understand you want to save her,
but if you keep sh**ting, she might get...

Takechi! Do you call that moderate?!

How unexpected. Well, at least they missed.

It's your brain that's missing!

Are you stupid? I have nothing to do with them!

Ooh hoo hoo! How embarrassing!

Do you realize what a
precarious situation you're in?

Not again!

So irresponsible!

Useless, as usual.

I'm here, Kagura-chan!

Shinpachi!

Hey.

Sorry to walk in on you.

Your customers are here.

You really had a field day.

Now I have to deal with these fools
before we overthrow the Shogunate.

So you k*lled Katsura.

And you fought Gintoki.

You even used Tetsuya.

And what do you have to show for it?

Tetsuya must be ecstatic.
All he cares about is his creation.

What about you?

Are you sad that your old comrade is dead? Or...

Well, now...

You've grown back a nice arm.

You two must be compatible.
In like skin as they say.

Go finish them off.

Destroy them all and I'll forgive the rest.

It would have ended like this anyway.

And...

Don't ever call us comrades again.

Our bond is much stronger than that,
them and me.

The next time you say it, I'll cut that thing off.

You really meant to k*ll me.

Who are you? Answer me!

Matako! I think you should focus on running.
Or else you'll end up like...

I can't carry you anymore!
I know I came to save you, but help!

You can do it, Shinpachi!

How can you be so carefree?

Shinpachi, I came here looking for Zura,
but I couldn't find him.

What happened to him?
What about Gin-chan? Where is he?

Shinpachi.

Shinpachi!

Kagura-chan!

What is that?

sh**t it!... sh**t it down!

Hey...

Happy to bring down such small fry?

I'll bring you all down!

If you're bent on destruction, why not join us?

With a single sword?

Shinpachi!

Elizabeth! You came all this way!

"It's a long story."

ELIZABETH!

When did this become a costume party?
This is no place for kiddies.

I'm no kid...

I'm Katsura!

Go, Benizakura!

I'll bring you all down, with this!

Why? At a time like this...?

Hey, it's already started.
It'll be over before we get there.

One blow from Benizakura
is equivalent to ten battleships.

They won't be able to stop it.

That's too big to fathom.
Give me a more relevant example.

A mom with boobs with
the power of , missiles.

That's no ordinary mom!

Use this...

Huh? What's this?

I made it. You can't use a wooden sword
against Benizakura.

Thanks, but what's this ornament
on the handle? Dog poo-

What the hell are you doing?

It's not what you think. It's a coiled dragon!

You said "it's not what you think"
before I even said anything!

That's proof that you know
that it looks like dog poop!

Elizabeth!

The ship is ready!

Are we really going?

Two ships have already gone down!
And we don't even have heavy weapons.

What kind of crazy weapons do they have?

"We have to save them or we won't be able to face Katsura-san."

Face Katsura? But he's already...

"I feel something strangely familiar on that ship."

Elizabeth, could it be?

No, it can't be!

Let's get on the boat!

Elizabeth has a sixth sense.

Just the other day at the track...

Lord Shinsuke! Lord Shinsuke.

Fancy meeting you here.

No... Katsura!

I couldn't leave this world just yet.
So I came back.

I couldn't die, especially
at the hand of an old comrade.

Don't you agree, Takasugi?

Comrade, huh...

I didn't know you still felt that way...
Thanks, but no thanks.

So you still kept it?

We're both old fools.

Heh. So, it protected you from Benizakura too?
I guess memories are good for something.

No, I owe it to that useless Nizo.

He got so excited,
he didn't even bother to check.

All he cut was my topknot.

I guess you've gotten good at playing dead.

So did you come back for revenge?
You think I was behind it?

I don't care if you told him to do it or not.

But I can't let you get away
with what you're planning to do.

Your ambitions are going down with this ship.

What's happening?

Katsura!

Don't think you'll get out of here alive!

Not until I see the dawn of Edo
with my own eyes.

Edo would not be pleased to be roused
from her sleep by the likes of you!

Go to sleep, forever!

You go to sleep!

You worried us sick!

You were in Elizabeth all this time!

Give me a break!

How long have you been in her?
How long have you duped us?

Can't we deal with this later?
Look! They're poised to att*ck!

Shut up! I'm poised to att*ck, too!

Calm down. I'm sorry I didn't explain.

I thought it was just me they were affer.

I thought it would be easier to spy on them
if everyone thought I was dead.

I didn't mean to drag you all
into my personal problems.

But why Elizabeth?

We can't even get close...

What are you doing?

What...?

It's coming this way...

The ship barged its way in!

"Rrraargh!"

Takasugi! You won't have your way!

I'll k*ll all of them!

Elizabeth...? Everyone...

"... Just sit there!"

"We couldn't..."

Forgive us, Katsura!

You told us not to mobilize no matter what!

But we heard you were in trouble. We couldn't
just sit there! We couldn't help ourselves!

How can I get mad at you? Look at your faces.

"C'mon! Bring it!"

I'm the one who owes you an apology.
I left you in the dark.

You wanted to save your old comrade Takasugi

so you kept it quiet and
tried to convince him yourself.

But unwittingly,

we created such an uproar that the riff between
you and Takasugi's clan is now irreparable.

Enough!

It would have come to this anyway.

"We have it covered. You can go."

"There's still time."

Elizabeth...

"Be sure you come back this time."

Thanks.

No way!

Move it!

You guys?

We came this far. We're with you all the way.

Damn you, Zura! You owe us dinner!

You guys...

I won't let you get near Lord Shinsuke.

I'm a feminist, but you're testing my limits.

You've ruined all our plans.
That gets me really angry, dammit!

Tch.

One year's worth of pickled seaweed
and the DVD set of my choice.

And food for Sadaharu.

Tsuu-chan's new album
and glossy photo collection.

And Baagen Dash ice cream cups.

No, make that , .

No fair! Ten years worth of pickled seaweed!

What the heck?

Go, you idiot!

If anything happened to you,
I could never face Gintoki!

Are you kidding?

Just show him your ridiculous haircut
and give him a laugh!

I don't understand... Who are you?

You're not ronin or Katsura's subordinates.
You're certainly not on our side.

Who the hell are you? What do you want?

Who do you answer to?

The stupidest samurai in the universe!

This light...

I knew some fools had barged in
while I was hard at work.

But I didn't expect you, too!

Did you come to loot the place?

What can you do in your condition?

Are you too far gone
to realize what you're doing?

You don't look so good either.

You look pale. Have a stomachache? Hmm?

You're the one with a stomachache!

What's wrong? Bleeding?

What's wrong? You're bleeding.

Look Zura, Gintoki is here.

He's going to take on Benizakura.

Ridiculous as usual. It's like taking on
a warship with your bare hands.

It's not human.

His body can't keep up with Benizakura.

He's going to die... You knew that, didn't you?

You knew what Benizakura would do to him.
Wasn't he your friend? Don't you care?

He made his own choice.

I'm sure he's happy to die.

Happy?

That's right!

He wanted to become one with the sword
to protect the flame called Takasugi!

He'd rather go up in flames than be
plunged into darkness again!

He has no qualms about it growing within him!

He's blinded by the light and can see little else!

What a pitiful fool!

But there's beauty there beyond good or bad!

Like the singular arc of a sword, there is beauty!

A sword kills. A swordsmith forges.
What does a samurai do?

In any case, devotion to a singular purpose
is both beautiful and powerful. Like this.

They're simple guys, but I love them.

There's only a single path in front of me, too.
I don't care who dies along the way.

Where's the beauty? Is that what you wanted?

Stop it.


I can't stand to see your katana
cause more bloodshed!

Then why did you bring that man here?

You brought him here to die, didn't you?

Do you think that dull sword of yours
stands a chance against my Benizakura?

What?!

Impossible!

Is he a match for Benizakura?

Could he be... surpassing it?

Impossible!

I know Benizakura is wasting Nizo away,

but the sword itself should be
growing stronger with all the data.

It can't be...

That man... Could he be evolving
faster than Benizakura?

Or...!

Did the life or death confrontation awaken
memories of battle that lay dormant inside him?

Is this the power of the White Demon?

It won't go out.

No matter what I do.
The damned light won't go out.

Hmm.. I see you've mastered the art of kenjutsu
but this is your first true swordfight, isn't it?

You're shaking.

This is a phantom sword
that's intoxicatingly strong...

I wouldn't push it if I were you.

By the way, my sword is named Shimura,
like the comedian.

You know how he shakes in his skits?

You know that joke too?!

I'm more of the intellectual type. I leave these
physical matters to this female boar here.

Who's a boar?! Shall I blast one
into that sorry ass of yours?

Guts and glory in battle! k*ll or be k*lled!

Gotcha!

You couldn't b*at me
in a hundred years, little girl!

Gin!

Gin-chan!

What is this?

Nizo?

I told you, I'm not the physical type.

Senpai!

Nizo! Have you gone mad?

Has Benizakura taken over?
I had a bad feeling about this.

Stop, Nizo!

It's completely taken over!

Nizo has lost himself to it.
He's become the sword itself!

Even the White Demon
won't be able to stop him now!

This is the true power of
Benizakura - the ultimate sword!

Only a man with a singular purpose
who has forsaken all else can wield it!

You're all weighted down by the superfluous!

Gin!

Gin-chan!

The damned light won't go out!

IT WON'T GO OUT!

Tetsuko!

No more! No more k*lling!

I won't let another soul be k*lled by that sword!

Let the fluffy girl go...

...you giant!

Why? Why? Tetsuko?

Why don't you try to understand?

I gave my all to Benizakura!

I sacrificed my conscience and all moderation!

It's who I am!

Without it, I'm nothing!

We lost an ingenious craffsman.
There will never be another one like him.

I heard he had a son. What about him?

He's no good.

If his dad hadn't been so giffed,
it wouldn't have been so hard for him.

He could have been happy
just making a living of it.

From that day...

Tetsuko, your skills are still lacking
but you have something Tetsuya doesn't.

I hope he understands one day.

I spent my whole life trying to surpass my father!

I gave up everything just to make swords.
I don't need anything else!

That's all I have! That's all there is leff!

Brother!

Gin!

Gin-chan!

Brother! Hang on! My brother!

Brother...

I see now.

I thought I'd given up all that was superfluous...

I decided to live not as a man,
but as a swordsmith.

But at the end of the day, I couldn't give you up...

I guess my commitment wasn't strong enough.
How could I expect to forge the ultimate sword?

She's not superfluous.

Nothing's superfluous.

Sacrifice everything for the craff?
Is that a true craffsman?

Stop kidding yourself.
You just didn't want to bother.

You don't have the guts to take
responsibility for anything.

You're no master craffsman.

Watch how powerful superfluous can be.

This sword your sister forged is pure heart
and soul. Burn that into your retina.

Gin! No!

Gin-chan!

A sword is but a blade that kills...
That won't change no matter what we do.

But that doesn't mean we
should abandon our craff.

We need to earn a living. No, that's not all.

We're in the weapons business.

That's why you have to keep forging.

Not steel, but your soul.

Forge your soul while you forge the steel.

Be a kind, honest man. Live with integrity.

If you better yourselves, you'll attract
people who'll make good swords.

What kind of sword do you want to forge?

A sword that protects...

Hmm? I can't hear you.

A sword that protects.

It's too bright for me...

A sword that protects, huh? Typical of you.

I guess... I'm still a novice yet.

Become a good swordsmith, Tetsuko...

I can't hear you...

You have to... yell like you always do...

I can't hear you!

Takasugi, I've never liked you. And I still don't.

But I consider you a comrade. Even now.

When did our paths diverge?

Hmph. What are you saying?

We may have started off in the same place...

But even back then,
we never shared the same goals.

All doing our own things.

All watching each other grow apart.

I haven't changed one bit.

I'm still striving towards the same goal. I...

"How's that?"

Elizabeth, this is it.

"Really?"

What's that battleship?

Allied forces?

No... that flag...

What are they doing here?

It's the Harusame Space Pirates!

Zura...

You guys took up the sword
for your country, your comrades,

but I didn't give a crap about that.

Think about it. Who taught us how
to use the sword?

The samurai code? The survival skills?
Who taught us all of that?

Who gave us a world to live in?
None other than... Master Shouyou.

An yet, this world robbed us of him.

What can I do but declare w*r on it and
destroy the world that took him from us?

Zura, what do you have to live for?

How can we live in a world
that deprived us of our master?

I can't stand it!

Takasugi... You have no idea how offen
I've wanted to destroy this Earth.

But he... he's bearing it.

The one... who should hate this world
more than anybody.

What can we do?

I can't destroy this land.
There's too much here... that I love.

I see you as someone who has lost
his chance to set things right.

You've become a beast that
simply destroys for the pleasure of it.

If you hate this land so much,
go ahead and destroy it.

But I can't stand by and watch you
destroy the people of Edo too.

There must be a way to change this country
without so much bloodshed.

I'm sure Master Shouyou...

It's Katsura.

It's really Katsura.

Butt out. He's mine.

The Amanto?

Zura, I heard about you.

You fought against the Harusame,
with your buddy Gintoki.

I was thinking of hooking up with them anyway.

How convenient. I'll just hand them your head.

Takasugi!

I told you...

All I want to do is destroy this rotting world.

What are the Harusame doing here?

"How should I know?"

Lord Bansai...

We were promised the heads
of Katsura and Gintoki.

Lord Bansai? Are you listening to me?

I'm listening.

They're the hottest band in Edo...

Pay attention! Who is this fool?
Why did they send him?

Don't worry. They're small fry. Friends of Katsura.

It'll be over soon.

Out of our way!

Yorozuya Gin-chan is coming!

You're so full of energy.

That...

It's that samurai.

Move it. I'm not in a very good mood.

Katsura!

Yo, Zura... What's with the hair?
Got your heart broken?

Shut up. I needed a change.

And what about you? Were you hit by a b*mb?

Shut up. I needed a change, too.

What kind of change?

Katsura! Tell us what to do!

Retreat.

Benizakura is finished. It's worthless now.

We have to make an escape. Hurry!

You won't get away!

k*ll them! k*ll them all!

We've got it covered.

Go!

But...

Gin!

Let go, Ellie! Gin-chan!

Go! I want their heads!

Don't retreat! Push forward!

So that's Gintoki Sakata and Kotaro Katsura.

They're strong. Worthy of a death match with me.

Gintoki!

Yeah?

Change is never easy in this world!

I can't even change one friend,
let alone a country!

Zura! I didn't know you had friends!
Are you sure about that?

Shall I cut you into shreds?

Gintoki!

Yeah?

Don't ever change!

k*lling you would take too much effort!

Zura... If you change, I'll be
the first to k*ll your ass!

Takasugi!

That's how it is.

The next time we meet,
we're no longer comrades!

I'll take you down!

So you'd better hope
you don't bump into me in town!

See ya!

Don't let them get away! sh**t!

You're so prepared. What are you, Lupin?

Not Lupin! I'm Zura!

No, I mean Katsura!

This isn't the first time
I've evaded the Shinsengumi.

But who would have thought
that he'd still have this?

We all started in the same place...

But... We've driffed so far apart...

Gintoki... do you still have it?

No.

I spilled ramen on it.

I want to share the beginning of the dying conversation

Shi seru kaiwa no hajimari wo kimi to kyokan shitai

We're emotionally incomplete

Mikansei na bokutachi wa

Tetsuya...

Influenced by what just happened yesterday and today

Kinou kyo no hanashi de

We sway and sway

Yureru yureru yura yura yurete

What is it?

It looks like it's over.

We keep on playing

Asobi tsuzuketeru

Tch. Yamazaki, go find out what went down.

Oh baby

Sir!

Isn't it ridiculous?

Kudaranai daro

Isn't it stupid?

Bakamitai daro

Just forget about stuff like that

Sonnakoto wasurete

Let the bitter era invite the juice of the sweet future

Shibui jidai ni amai mirai no shiru wo sosorasete

Go to Edo, huh? What a pain. Boss' orders.

I'm looking forward to meeting those samurai.

As I learn about the real me

Toushindai no jibun wo shiru uchi ni

The power that I didn't know of begins to flow

Naze ka shiran chikara ga michiteku

Oh baby

Isn't it unbelievable?

Uso mitai daro

Isn't it impossible?

Arienai daro

The order is now quite disturbed

Kanari fuuki midareta

Your world has changed my world

Kimi no sekai ga boku no sekai wo kaete shimatta yo

Just like this is how it is

Kore ga kore de aru you ni

Let it be the way it is, I guess it's all right that way

Sore wa sore de areba iito omou yo tabun

"THE END"

"NEWS FLASH"

News Flash!

"GINTAMA"

"PART "

We are the Police Investigators - Shinsengumi!

"GINTAMA SPECIAL FEATURING
THE SHINSENGUMI"

"Gintama Part "

They don't answer to anyone or anything...

"TOSHIROU HIJIKATA"

"Vice-Commander"

"Squad Leader"

"SOUGO OKITA"

"Commander"

"KONDOU ISAO"

Neither shogun nor shogunate.
He's our only leader.

Once a rascal, always a rascal.

Promise me you'll follow your road.
Promise me. Promise...

You're so quick to fight!
Don't let Toshi and Sougo get ahead of you!

"Gintama Part "

"GINTAMA SPECIAL FEATURING
THE SHINSENGUMI"

Gintama Special
Featuring - The Shinsengumi...

"Coming Next Spring"

Wait a minute! I haven't heard about this!

We're not even in it!

Gintama without Yorozuya?

This is bogus! Who would do such a thing?

Us.

Sorry, but the Shinsengumi
will star in the sequel.

So you're the ones trying to fool
the fans with a bogus trailer!

But we've been fooling them all along, too.

Why would you do such a thing?

Because...

We looked like idiots!
Did you see us in the Benizakura Arc?

We look like a bunch of fools!

We got wind of Takasugi's plan,
but it was all over before we got there!

We shouldn't have even appeared!

And if we make the sequel, it won't be bogus.

That's right.

I won't accept a Gintama without Gin!

Me, either!

Move it! Otose coming through!

I was on the poster, so I wondered
when I was going to appear,

and there I was at the end,
this small with no lines.

Some fans like grannies
and cat-eared ladies, too!

I think very few.

So the sequel will be called:

Catch My Heart, Kitty Cat.

Hold it right there!
Who's going to go see a movie like that?

I certainly won't!

Sacchan!

It looked like Otae was your leading lady!

I'm your leading lady!
We have a sticky relationship, remember?

Sorry about that.

Sis?

You can do whatever you want
with that kinky-haired fool,

but I'm the heroine of the sequel.

And of course, your leading man is...

Don't think you're hot just because
you got a tiny part...

I'm the next heroine!

Kyu-chan?

If Tae-chan is the heroine, then I'm the hero.

I don't think it works that way!

I'm the hero!

What?

The heroes of Gintama are Gin and Tama!

Just Gin is fine. You're stepping
on his Tama by the way.

Don't do it, sir!

Heroes and heroines always have
steamy sex scenes.

That means you'll have to
**** and **** and ****!

HEY! What kind of movies are you watching?

I only got to narrate the trailer.

Where did you come from?

Is it going to be dubbed?

Never! What the heck's wrong with all of y-

Sorry I'm late, Kintoki. Where's my part?

Just at the opening and ending!

The sequel should definitely
be starring Captain Katsura and *****...

Enough already!

Are you kidding me?

Catch My Heart, Kitty Cat!

The sequel will feature Gin and me.

I told you I'm the heroine.

Otae and I will ****!

Sir, may I suggest **** over ****!

Wait a minute. We called it first.
The Shinsengumi!

How about me?

Shut up! I'm the hero!

And I'm the heroine!

This is crazy. What are we going to do?

Cut! Cut!

This is too much. We quit.

It's...

Mr. w*r and Mr. Ner!

They really do exist! The Warner Brothers!

What is this mess? You tricked us brothers!

This anime is supposed to be
a mega-hit in Japan? You lied to us!

This isn't Gintama.

Those aren't samurai either.
They're ninja and soul reapers and...

We can't do business in the
global marketplace with this vulgar anime.

That's it! Forever!

Good-bye!

What about our sequel?

So, Gintama is over?

Hmph. A vulgar anime?

That's the ultimate compliment.

The end? Are you kidding?

We've only just begun.

I don't get it. But I know those lyrics.

Raging excitement in the midst of bustle and wild dance
