07x45 - Lost and Found

Post by bunniefuu »

Kon: Y-You're...

Kon: Why are you here?

Kat: I'm going to save this country.

Kat: But for that, Kondo,

Kat: I need your help.

Kat: And to get out of this predicament,

Kat: you need my,

Kat: Kotaro the Runaway's, help.

Kon: You...

Kat: Kondo, I shall get you out of here.

Kat: So save this country with me.

Title: Farewell Shinsengumi Arc Part Three

Title: Lost and Found

Nob: Katsura?

Sas: Yes.

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

Sas: The ringleader of the Joi Rebels,

Sas: who boasts nicknames such as "The Rampaging Youth" and "Kotaro the Runaway."

Sas: I've long wanted to see what kind of man he was,

Sas: but his end was disappointingly abrupt.

Nob: He wasn't after Lord Nobunobu's life?

Nob: Are you saying

Nob: that he was there to save that man?

Nob: Either way,

Nob: we reeled in an unexpectedly big fish with cheap bait.

Nob: Although I was targeting a different one,

Nob: playing along with the rowdy shogun who wanted to show off his newfound power

Nob: proved worthwhile.

Nob: Fortunately, he seems to have lost his memories of the incident,

Nob: and doesn't remember that we let Sakata-san escape.

Nob: Let's have the old guard take the fall for all of it.

Nob: Matsudaira Katakuriko, Kondo Isao,

Nob: and now Katsura Kotaro.

Nob: We can take the heads of the men who starred in the previous era in one fell swoop.

Nob: It's the perfect way to ring in the new era, don't you think?

Nob: And what exactly are we going to do in this "new era"?

Nob: With no allies or enemies,

Nob: are we just going to sit on our backsides like you are now,

Nob: perched atop this derelict nation?

Nob: Is that it?

Sas: It's actually a pretty comfortable seat, you know.

Sas: Would you like to try sitting in the command chair yourself?

Sas: I'd rather grovel in the dirt than sit there.

Sas: Sheesh.

Sas: What a hasty girl.

Sas: I haven't forgotten.

Sas: Both you and I were born in the dirt.

Sas: And that is where we'll eventually end up.

Kon: What's this?

Kat: Once I give the signal, take that pill.

Kat: It'll let you die without having to wait for your execution three days from now.

Kat: That said, it'll only be a suspended animation of sorts.

Kat: If we can fool the guards...

G: The gorilla's dead!

Kat: Then even if the doors to Hell don't open,

Kat: we can at least force these prison cage doors open.

Kon: W-Wait!

Kon: What are you playing at?

Kon: Are you saying that you, a Joi Rebel,

Kon: got yourself arrested so you could break the Shinsengumi Chief,

Kon: your archenemy, out of prison?!

Kat: Relax.

Kat: To me, a prison is no different from the neighborhood diner.

Kat: It's simply a place to enjoy free food.

Kon: Uh, diners aren't free!

Kon: Have you been eating and running?!

Kat: So all I'm doing is

Kat: returning the gorilla I found eating at the diner to its cage at the zoo.

Kon: In the end, the gorilla's back in a cage?!

Kon: I don't know what you're planning,

Kon: but I can't let things escalate.

Kon: It'll cause trouble for Toshi and the rest outside.

Kat: No need to worry about that, either.

Kat: By now, your men must have joined up with Elizabeth to plot our rescue.

Kon: Were you even listening to me?!

Kon: What do you mean, "joined up"?

Kon: Don't tell me you got them involved, as well?

Kon: If they do that, they'll all lose their heads!

Kon: Even if they succeed, who's going to protect Edo in the future?!

Kat: As things are now, you can't protect anything.

Kat: Not even the woman you fell for.

Kon: Did something happen to Otae-san?!

Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan

Snack,Sign: Snack Otose

Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan

Tae: I'm sorry.

Tae: First the Shinsengumi, now Odd Jobs...

Tae: If only I hadn't done something so stupid...

Tae: I'm so sorry, guys!

Kag: It's not your fault, boss lady.

Shin: Yeah. If you want to blame someone...

Hij: ...blame us police, who couldn't do anything.

Tae: Hijikata-san.

Hij: We can't do anything.

Hij: Kondo-san staked his life to leave us this.

Badge,Sign: Special Police Shinsengumi

Hij: But if things stay the same,

Hij: if we remain cops,

Hij: we won't be able to protect Kondo-san, Edo, or anything else.

Badge ,Sign: Special Police Shinsengumi

Kag: Then are you gonna throw away that ID

Kag: and join hands with Joi Rebels to fight the nation?

Hij: Is that their plan?

Kag: They said they'd team up with anyone if it meant they could save the gorilla.

Kag: But...

Oki: I can't move.

Oki: Article of the Shinsengumi Code:

Oki: "When the Chief is away, the Vice Chief will have full control of the squad."

Oki: "The troops are to follow his orders."

Oki: I won't move a finger until that bastard gives an order.

Oki: We've come this far together.

Oki: Whether we go to save Kondo-san, or abandon him,

Oki: I'm going with that bastard.

Kat: Act now, and there'll be no going back.

Kat: But if you stay as lapdogs of this country,

Kat: you won't be able to protect anyone from this country.

Kat: If you all die upholding rotten laws,

Kat: you can't save your comrades, your loved ones, or this country.

Kat: If there is something you want to protect,

Kat: then break out of that crooked cage.

Kat: If there is something you can't protect,

Kat: then break free of those rusted shackles tying you down.

Kat: Have you all continued to hold your swords all this while

Kat: because of some fragile law that changes with the times?

Kat: Nay!

Shinsengumi,Sign: Special Police Shinsengumi

Kat: I believe it's the ironclad rules that you swore unto your souls:

Kat: the Shinsengumi Code!

Gin: Forget something?

Hij: Yeah.

Hij: But if I take it back, that'll be the end.

Hij: If I open these doors,

Hij: I'll never be able to come back here again.

Gin: Same as me.

Gin: A long time ago, I went through something similar.

Gin: There were two things I wanted to protect.

Gin: I didn't wanna lose either one.

Gin: But I ended up in a situation where if I didn't throw one away, I'd lose both.

Hij: Which did you choose?

Gin: I tried to protect both.

Gin: But it was the same as throwing them both away.

Gin: I still dream about it,

Gin: and wonder if there was a better way to go about it.

Gin: But there's no need for you to hesitate, is there?

Gin: It's still not too late.

Gin: You can still protect both.

Gin: You can...

Gin: You all can.

Oki: You forgot something, Vice Chief.

Oki: Change into that and give us our orders already.

Hij: Should go without saying.

Hij: Whoever scribbled on my uniform, k*ll yourself!

Die,Sign: Die

Sign L,Sign: Looks like you're prepared.

Hij: Prepared for what?

Hij: To cross swords with you guys?

Hij: Did you really think the Shinsengumi and Joi Rebels could join hands?

Hij: Neither side can forget all the hatred that's built up over the years.

Hij: So long as you are Joi Rebels

Hij: and we are Shinsengumi,

Hij: we're fated to clash.

Hij: Which means this joint operation

Hij: will be our final battle.

Hij: There's no going back for either of us.

Hij: There's no need to forget our hatred or who we are.

Hij: You guys just swing your swords as Joi Rebels.

Hij: We'll swing our swords as Shinsengumi to the very end.

Hij: And in this "new era" to come,

Hij: if we as nobodies happen to run into other moronic nobodies,

Hij: then instead of crossing swords,

Hij: let's share a drink or two...

Hij: Along with our generals!

All: Yeah!

Kon: They'll die...

Kon: If they do something like that, they'll all die.

Kon: Both my men and yours will die in vain!

Kon: All for someone like me...

Kat: Nobody's going to die.

Kat: For I know all too well how tough the Shinsengumi are.

Kat: And you should know all too well how tenacious Joi Rebels are.

Kat: If the Shinsengumi and Joi Rebels join hands,

Kat: then we have nothing to fear, be it the country or anything else.

Kat: And while we may stand on opposite sides, Kondo,

Kat: surely we share the same desire to fight for our country.

Mat: Good grief.

Mat: There was a guy who said something similar before...

Mat: To you, Katsura.

Mat: What's the world coming to?

Mat: I mean, the nation's shogun and the nation's most wanted, spouting the same nonsense?

Mat: Who's the crazy one here?

Kon: Pops!

Kat: That crazy man and I shared a promise...

Sho: Katsura.

Sho: The next time we meet,

Sho: one of us will be dead, but...

Zu: ...the one still alive will create the brand new world.

Zu: No objections here.

Mat: Damn, both were crazy.

Mat: Hurry up and pass me that pill too, Katsura.

Kon: P-Pops?!

Mat: Now that we're up against an entire nation,

Mat: there's no point in squabbling over who is on whose side.

Mat: If someone can help me smoke another cigarette,

Mat: then I don't care if they're Enma or Buddha.

Mat: They're my ally.

Kat: Like lord, like retainer, I see.

Kat: Very well.

Kat: Then let us go together,

Kat: as that man's former enemy and former retainers,

Kat: to the place he dreamed of...

Kat: To a new dawn for this country!

Kon: Katsura!

Kon: What the hell is he doing?!

Kon: He randomly showed up to save us and randomly went into suspended animation!

Mat: Hey, what are we going to do?

Mat: We haven't heard a thing about the prison break plan yet.

Mat: Wake him up at once!

Mat: How the hell am I supposed to wake up a guy in suspended animation?!

Mat: Wake up, Zura!

Blood,Sign: I'm not Zura. I'm Katsura.

Kon: Hey, forget suspended. Isn't he actually dead?

Kon: He even left behind something that looks like a dying message!

Mat: You dumbass!

Mat: Half-assed measures like that aren't gonna wake up a guy in suspended animation!

Mat: Bring him back to life like you want to k*ll him!

Kon: What's the point of k*lling him for real?!

Mat: How's that? Surely he's awake now.

Mat: The rock I dug out of the flooring in preparation for the escape sure came in handy.

Kon: It didn't! His hands will never move again!

Kon: Damn, it's the guards!

Kon: What now, Pops?!

Mat: Now that it's come to this, we have no choice but to play dead, too.

Blood,Sign: Gorilla

Mat: Whether you run into a bear in a forest or a gorilla in a cage,

Mat: you handle it the same way.

Kon: First I've heard of that! And I'm the gorilla!

Kon: There's no way we can trick the guards like that!

Kon: Hey, Pops!

Blood,Sign: I'm not Gorilla. I'm Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla.

Obo: Lose the bloodlust, Mukuro.

Obo: We may have parted ways before, but we both serve the heavens now.

Nob: I have no intention of ever serving those jerks again.

Obo: But what about your master?

Obo: His exemplary work in getting rid of possible obstacles to the new government

Obo: has made the Tendoshu extremely happy.

Obo: Only Matsudaira and Kondo remain, huh?

Obo: He must be planning to use their heads as bait to reel in other rebels,

Obo: but there seems to be some rather big fish among them.

Obo: If you let those guys get the jump on you,

Obo: they could rip off your arm along with the bait.

Obo: You'd best keep the Yatagarasu's teachings in mind.

Obo: The crows that bring death

Obo: have already flown off by the time their feathers hit the ground.

Kon: He's no ordinary guard!

Kat: And while we may stand on opposite sides, Kondo,

Kat: surely we share the same desire to fight for our country.

Mat: Kondo!

Kat: Now you and I have both d*ed once.

Kat: Will we be reincarnated as allies or enemies?

Kon: Don't ask me.

Kat: It seems this is no time for a leisurely escape.

Kat: That Yatagarasu tattoo...

Kat: They're hit men from Tenshouin Naraku, the assassination syndicate.

Mat: Naraku? Why would they?

Mat: They even k*lled the other guards.

Kat: Perhaps there is someone who cannot wait for our execution,

Kat: or maybe someone who anticipated our next moves.

Kat: Either way, there's no time left to hesitate, Kondo.

G: Wh-What is this?

G: What's the meaning of this? What the hell happened?!

Kat: The inmates suddenly broke out of their cells and att*cked us.

G: I-It's a jailbreak!

G: The inmates are on the run!

G: We have casualties, too!

G: They need treatment, on the double!

Kon: They were planning on k*lling us anyway.

Kon: That means Toshi and the rest are in danger, too!

Kon: Katsura! How can we get outta here?

Mat: Looks like not even the guards expected Naraku to interfere.

Mat: If we take advantage of this chaos, we might just make it...

Kat: Getting out of these walls will be a piece of cake

Kat: with me, Kotaro the Runaway, by your side.

Kat: But beyond that lies an obstacle we cannot overcome without outside help.

Kon: What obstacle?

Kat: Oh, so you were brought here without knowing what kind of place this is?

Kat: Unfortunately, escaping this prison doesn't guarantee freedom for us.

Kat: Because this place

Kat: is a massive prison that goes by the name of Kokujo Island.
