Sac: Don't lay a finger on him.

Sac: Don't you dare lay a finger on our boss!

Z: Sa—

Z: Sarutobi!

Ma: I-It's a smokescreen!

Ma: Th-That's the Oniwaban!

Kao: Let's go!

Kao: Protect our boss, Zenzo!

Title : Shogun Assassination Arc Part Four

Title : And Then There Were Five

Warning,Sign: Watch the Shogun Assassination Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!

Sho: Zenzo...

Gin: Keep your eyes forward and run!

Gin: If you wanna survive, keep your eyes forward and run!

Sho: Are you telling me that's my battle as shogun?

Sho: That even if I must use countless corpses of my friends as stepping stones,

Sho: I have to live on for the sake of our society and its people?

Sho: Why did I ever become shogun, then?

Sho: In my eyes, Zenzo

Sho: and you all are also precious subjects I'm meant to protect!

Kag: Sho-chan...

Gin: Shogun, that guy...

Gin: Your buddy ain't gonna die.

Gin: Because he's got my buddy with him.

Gin: And Shogun, you ain't gonna die here.

Gin: Because...

Gin: Because you've got us buddies with you.

Z: Looks like I...

Z: We failed to fulfill our duty.

Z: The enemy was larger than we thought.

Sa: You idiot!

Sa: Who was it that told me not to act out of character?

Z: Yeah, this is definitely out of character.

Z: How did I end up with you taking care of me at the very end?

Z: I can't walk anymore.

Z: Go, Sarutobi.

Z: A cat doesn't let others see its last breath.

Sa: What are you talking about?

Sa: Get up and run.

Sa: Run, damn it!

Sa: You've still got a duty to fulfill!

Sa: Where do you think you're going, leaving us behind,

Sa: Boss?

Sa: You... You all kept the shogun alive by putting your lives on the line.

Sa: You defended our village.

Sa: But you still haven't fulfilled the one duty you must fulfill.

Sa: You have to go back alive...

Sa: With the shogun,

Sa: and with us...

Sa: We're all going back to Edo together!

Sa: Forget being Oniwaban.

Sa: Forget being the shogun.

Sa: That is the duty we all have as friends.

Gin: Shinpa—

Gin: Yeah, these guys aren't gonna go down easily!

Shin: Sh-Shogun-sama!

Hij: Hey, you'd better be careful.

Hij: Apparently this village has some...

Kon: ...scary traps to keep intruders at bay.

Shin: Kondo-san! Hijikata-san!

Hij: They're still alive?!

Shin: Gin-san! Kagura-chan!

Gin: Sheesh.

Gin: The loyal retainers join the fray at last, eh?

Gin: What a grand entrance you made, jumping out of a pitfall.

Kon: I wouldn't say that.

Kon: We thought we saw light through the cracks,

Kon: but it looks like it's still far away.

Gin: Now, what do we do about this?

Kon: There's only one thing we can do.

Kon: No matter who we're facing, it's k*ll or be k*lled.

Kon: That's all.

Shin: It does seem like we're the last retainers who can protect the shogun.

Hij: If this is a joke, it ain't funny.

Hij: Of all people, these are the last men standing?

Hij: I'd like a do-over, starting from the interview.

Kag: Right back at you.

Kag: Dying to protect the shogun would be one thing, but...

All: Dying with you guys is the last thing I want!

Gin: We're up against Yato.

Gin: If we put up an honest fight against a force like that,

Gin: we won't stand a chance.

Hij: How unusual of you to whine before the battle even begins.

Gin: Did you not hear me?

Gin: I said if it were an honest fight.

Gin: As if any one of us is that honest.

Hij: True that.

Hij: Fighting Yato with these numbers shows that

Hij: we're out of our minds.

Gin: Run for it!

Shin: Shogun-sama, hurry!

Kon: Get back up!

Kon: Hurry up and run!

Kag: Gori!

Kon: Toughness isn't exclusive to you guys, you know!

Kag: Get back up and run.

Shin: Hijikata-san!

Shin: Gin-san!

Kao: That's enough! Disperse!

Mat: Get back here, damn you!

Mat: After them!

Mat: Don't let any of them escape!

Hen: You mustn't chase them too far, Matako-san.

Hen: The Oniwaban's objective is to split our forces up.

Oni,Sign: Oniwaban

Seven,Sign: Iga

Seven,Sign: Seventh Division

Kiheitai,Sign: Kiheitai

Hen: The Seventh Division is fighting the enemy's main force.

Hen: We should regroup with them and set up a pincer att*ck.

Tak: I had Bansai head over there already.

Tak: Let them do as they please.

Tak: Either way, Iga and the current government are done for.

Hen: T-Takasugi-san...

Tak: Let them at least go out in a blaze of glory.

Hen: Where are you going?

Tak: There's a guy I must end before putting an end to everything.

Tak: Even if we take the shogun's head and topple the government,

Tak: we won't be able to behead this world.

Tak: Unless we break that sword,

Tak: the world won't end.

Kon: Jeez.

Gin: What's the point of guarding the shogun if he has to guard us instead?

Gin: It should be clear to you now.

Gin: We won't survive unless we give it all we have, including what's in our underwear.

Sho: Fret not.

Sho: We shall protect one another's backs.

Sho: Is that not what "buddies" are?

Hij: Who the hell taught the shogun such crude slang?

Kag: Should we have taught him "friendicks" instead?

Sho: Oh, so you can say it like that, too?

Hij: Don't teach him any more nonsense!

Gin: Hey, now.

Gin: If he's acting like that, he might be another double.

Kon: Nah, it's the shogun.

Kon: There's no mistaking it.

Kon: He's our shogun.

Abu: Good grief.

Abu: This is the first planet that's ever given us such trouble in hand-to-hand combat.

Abu: Believe it or not,

Abu: we're a rare species that's in danger of extinction.

Abu: I wish you'd be gentler with us.

Kag: You're...

Abu: Long time no see, miss.

Abu: I had a lot of trouble after our little skirmish.

Abu: The commander raked me over the coals,

Abu: and told me not to hold back the next time I ran into you.

Abu: But now, just look how many of my brethren you've taken out.

Abu: Be it the commander's little sister,

Abu: be it the commander's prey,

Abu: I don't intend to let you guys leave here alive.

Shin: Screw you!

Shin: You're the ones trampling all over our country!

Abu: Really?

Abu: I thought it looked like it was rotting even before we set foot here.

Abu: Even if we didn't do anything, it would've crumbled all on its own.

Abu: And anyway, you samurai are the ones about to finish it off.

Abu: We're only here to repay that guy.

Gin: Where is he?

Gin: Where is that bastard, Takasugi?

Abu: Well, I can tell you he's not where you're about to go.

Abu: I've sent some along already to lead you there.

Abu: Ninjas and samurai...

Abu: Fall to ruin, along with this country.

Gin: She's not much of a guide, I'm afraid.

Gin: All she's capable of is...

Rap: Will you have some cocoa?

Rap: Or do you want some pitch-black tea?

Y: Vice Commander!

Rap: Stand up, samurai.

Rap: Neither the ninjas nor this country are dead yet.

Shin: Momochi-san!

Gin: Run for it!

Shin: You're alive?

Shin: And that thing can be a shuriken, too?

Rap: I told you, the ninjas aren't dead yet.

Y: After them!

Y: Don't let them get away!

Rap: The ninjas they wiped out

Rap: were merely my puppets.

Rap: The vassals of Fujibayashi who d*ed back then.

Rap: We have barely begun to unleash true ninja warfare.

Abu: I see.

Abu: So these are real ninja arts.

Abu: If you'd also blown away the bill for this brand new prosthetic arm,

Abu: I would've given you a round of applause.

Abu: But I'm back to being unable to clap.

Abu: What do all of you have against my left arm?!

Rap: Listen well.

Rap: Near the Marici statue on the cliff to the west

Rap: is a secret path only ninja villagers know.

Rap: You guys take the shogun and get out of Iga.

Shin: Momochi-san!

Rap: We'll hold them at bay here.

Rap: We must prevent them from sinking the country, even if Iga has to fall to do it.

Rap: Shogun-sama...

Rap: Please forgive my inability to serve you to the very end.

Sho: Momochi!

Kon: It'd be dicey with just the ninjas.

Kon: I thought this was supposed to be a joint operation between ninjas and samurai.

Hij: Then we'll be taking our share of the glory.

Shin: Kondo-san! Hijikata-san!

Hij: There you have it. Get going already.

Kon: You can handle the rest even without police security, right?

Kag: Wait up, you guys—

Kon: Odd Jobs!

Kon: Through one thing or another, we've known you guys for a long time now.

Kon: But we've never once gone to you with a job request.

Kon: I never thought this day would come.

Kon: But you're the only guys left to ask...

Kon: You're the only ones we can trust to do this.

Kon: You're the only ones who can.

Kon: This is the Shinsengumi's...

Kon: Our first and last request.

Kon: Odd Jobs,

Kon: take care of the shogun.

Gin: We accept.

Shin: Gin-san...

Gin: Don't look back.

Kon: Toshi...

Hij: Don't worry, I won't look back.

Hij: If I do...

Bo: They'll ask about payment!

Gin: Don't worry, we'll get paid no matter what.

Gin: Both by them and the shogun.

Gin: Once we all get back alive.

Gin: So for now,

Gin: don't look back.

Gin: Keep your eyes forward.

Gin: We may be looking in different directions,

Gin: but we all have the same home.

Sac: I see it!

Sac: Zenzo, it should be possible to escape the village from there.

Sac: You go ahead.

Sac: I promise I'll bring the shogun along.

Sac: Zenzo?

Sac: Hang in there, Zenzo!

Sac: Just a bit longer...

Sac: We're almost there!

Sac: I won't let anyone die anymore!

Sac: We're all going back alive.

Sac: We're almost there.

Sac: If we make it past here,

Sac: we can go back to those days

Sac: where all of us spent our time doing the stupidest things.

Sac: We can go back to those times, right, Gin-san?

Tak: No, you can't.

Tak: You're not going anywhere.

Tak: You no longer have a home

Tak: or a place to run to in this country.

Hen: So they really did have a secret path.

Hen: Good thing you made it in time, Kamui-dono.

Kam: I left pretty late because of Abuto.

Kam: But I got to see something amusing thanks to that.

Kam: On your planet, wouldn't you call this

Kam: "nothing's more dangerous than a cornered animal"?

Tak: Nah.

Tak: It's what we call "resistance is futile."

Hen: The trajectory was altered to miss her vitals.

Hen: Who was it?

Z: Don't move!

Z: If anyone moves a finger, I'll stick these in all of your butts.

Z: Hemorrhoids are lifelong, you know.

Z: You ought to take care of your ass.

Sa: Zenzo...

Z: Stand up, Sarutobi!

Z: We're going back alive.

Z: You're the one who said that,

Z: and yet you're trying to die before me?

Sa: Sorry... I...

Z: Don't apologize.

Z: I was the one who always ran off on my own,

Z: and you scolded me each time.

Z: So don't you dare go off before me.

Z: I love my fuglies, Sarutobi,

Z: but I've had enough of your fugly crying face.

Z: I won't let you cry in front of me ever again!

Z: Rather than a half-dead man skewering all of us,

Z: it'd be much quicker for us to cut up two worn-out rags.

Z: Didn't you hear me tell you not to move?!

Kam: I see, Shinsuke.

Kam: This certainly is futile resistance.

Kam: All that talk about sticking knives in our asses

Kam: was to prevent us from looking upwards.

Kam: And this rain of knives...

Tak: It's just a fake-out, too.

Tak: I'm sick of your petty tricks.

Z: Oh, it's no fake-out.

Z: I have the perfect ninja technique for your massive asses.

Z: It's my Tr*mp card,

Z: and I've already used it!

Kam: You make your brother very happy.

Syo: In a fight, both parties are to blame,

Syo: my little samurai.

Tak: Gintoki, if I die...

Gin: Kagura!

Gin: Shinpachi!

Gin: Let's do this!
