Sas: Keep swinging your sword for my sake.
Sas: And when the time comes, use it to k*ll me.
Sas: That is my vengeance.
Nob: Yes, that is my duty.
Nob: This time, for sure, I must k*ll him.
Kag: Stop right there!
Kag: That's enough.
Kag: You two have done enough.
G: Fire!
Hij: What the hell?
Hij: Why are the Mimawarigumi and Naraku fighting?
Hij: Did you betray the bakufu, Sasaki?!
Mat: You've got it wrong.
Hij: Pops!
Mat: You have to be on someone's side to betray them.
Kon: Shimaru!
Kon: Hang in there, Shimaru!
Mat: But he never had any allies to betray.
Mat: He saw the bakufu, us, his men, and even himself as enemies he ought to destroy.
Mat: Isn't that right?
Sas: That's rude, Lord Matsudaira.
Sas: I do have someone I can have email exchanges with.
Sas: It's just that I haven't been able to send an important email for a long time.
Sas: Reception's been poor, you see.
Sas: But I'm sure it'll go through from here.
Sas: From this place atop the ruins of this country...
Sas: Atop a mountain of samurai corpses.

Obo: The time for judgment has come, White Yaksha.
Obo: No matter what he may be planning,
Obo: no matter how you struggle,
Obo: this country will not change.
Obo: But you may rejoice, White Yaksha.
Obo: Your persistent howling
Obo: has at last reached the heavens.
Obo: And they will bring judgment down upon you with their own hands.
Obo: That's...
Oki: What the hell are you playing at?
Oki: Get out of the way.
Oki: Do you really want me to?
Oki: If you're really up for this fight, then keep going.
Oki: But if you're having doubts, then stop.
Oki: If you two were actually serious, though, I wouldn't still be standing.
Oki: At this rate, both the black police and the white police will be destroyed.
Oki: This is no time to be fighting each other.
Oki: Whose fault do you think that is?
Oki: They...
Kag: I don't know about them,
Kag: but I do know her.
Kag: I don't know what she did in the past,
Kag: but I do know who she is now.
Kag: She's not a bad guy.
Nob: Even if I cut you down from behind?
Nob: You don't know a thing.
Nob: I'm someone who can s*ab you in the back.
Kag: Go ahead.
Kag: If that's what you really wanna do, then feel free.
Kag: But
Kag: don't cry anymore.
Kag: Don't lie to yourself anymore.
Kag: I used to be just like you.
Kag: But I changed after meeting everyone here.
Kag: This is a planet of freedom.
Kag: Everyone here is free to live as they see fit.
Nob: I could k*ll whoever I was ordered to.
Nob: That's how I was raised.
Nob: That's how I've lived my life.
Nob: But when I met that man, I turned weird.
Nob: I ended up wanting to live like him.
Nob: For the first time, I was unable to k*ll someone.
Nob: Even after taking everything from him,
Nob: I couldn't finish him off.
Nob: All I can do now is put an end to Isaburo.
Sas: Do you hate the thought of k*lling people now?
Nob: Not really.
Sas: You like donuts, don't you?
Sas: Eat up.
Sas: From now on,
Sas: I'll eat with you.
Kag: Nobume!
Kag: Hey, pull yourself together!
Kag: Attention, all squads on Kokujo Island.
Kag: Withdraw from combat at once.
Kag: The aerial squads are to keep the enemy fleet occupied
Kag: and provide cover fire for the ground troops to escape.
G: Is this Vice Commander Imai?!
G: But the Commander-General ordered us to keep fighting until the enemy was wiped out!
G: The Commander-General probably isn't coming back.
G: From here on, prioritize your own lives above all else.
G: Even if the Mimawarigumi are no more.
Sas: Wait a second!
Sas: Just what happened, Nobume-san?
Sas: Nobume-san!
Kag: Nobume!
Nob: Go.
Nob: Quickly, before I change my mind.
Nob: If you don't hurry,
Nob: he'll come.
Nob: Capable of taking the entire country's life,
Nob: he is a real crow, a real reaper.
U: Mukuro,
U: you betray your master not once, but twice?
U: The first time, it was me.
U: Now, it's him.
U: Your orders were the same both times...
U: To k*ll that man.
Sas: k*ll me.
Sas: That is my vengeance.
Nob: I won't take orders from anyone anymore.
Sas: Eat up.
Sas: From now on, I'll eat with you.
Nob: Be it Isaburo, or you people.
Nob: No matter who I have to k*ll,
Nob: I'll swing my sword of my own free will.
Nob: That is my atonement!
U: Mukuro,
U: it seems that your wings were clipped long ago.
U: You can't fly anywhere with the ones you have left.
U: There's nowhere you can run.
U: None may escape from a true Yatagarasu's wings.
U: Oh?
U: We have a rare rabbit of the night with us.
U: But it doesn't know how to correctly use its body yet.
U: You're all fated to die either way.
U: The order matters not to me...
U: Mukuro.
Oki: Am I trembling with excitement?
Oki: Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Oki: It's not like I'm afraid,
Oki: but my body has realized before my brain
Oki: that for the first time, I'm faced with an enemy
Oki: I might not be able to b*at!
Oki: Who the hell are you?
U: Utsuro.
Nob: A crow who served, and eventually reached, the heavens.
Nob: Former leader of the Tenshoin Naraku,
Nob: and a man who became one of the Tendoshu,
Nob: Utsuro!
Hij: Out of the way!
Hij: Where's Kondo-san?
Hij: And where the hell is Sasaki?!
Mat: Watch out, Toshi!
Hij: Katsura?!
All: Vice Chief!
Kat: I'm glad you're all right, Matsudaira, Hijikata.
Kat: What's going on here?
Mat: It's all going according to Sasaki's plans.
Mat: Everyone's been split up, both allies and enemies.
Kat: There's no time.
Kat: If we don't act during this chaos, we won't get another chance to escape this island.
Hij: We've already told our men.
Hij: The longer this operation drags on, the harder it'll be to escape.
Hij: An hour and a half.
Hij: Once that time passes, they've been told to retreat, whatever situation they're in.
Hij: Pops.
Hij: Gather our troops and slip through the enemy barricade.
Hij: There's a decoy squad standing by out at sea.
G: V-Vice Chief...
G: Even if Kondo-san and I don't return, run away without waiting for us.
G: Whether I make it back or not,
G: this is my final order as Shinsengumi Vice Chief.
G: You will obey it, won't you?
Shin: That's...
Ymz: The signal to retreat.
Shin: What about Kondo-san's rescue?
Ymz: We'll just have to assume it succeeded.
G: Now!
G: Retreat!
Ymz: We'll make use of that cover fire, too!
Ymz: Retreat!
U: Too bad.
U: My wings span far and wide.
U: Not a single rat may escape their reach.
Ymz: C—
Ymz: Captain Okita!
Obo: Utsuro-sama.
Obo: You needn't stain your hands with the blood of these vulgar rodents any further.
Obo: We'll take care of the rest.
U: Good grief.
U: Treating me like a retired senior citizen, are we?
U: It isn't often I get to descend to the surface.
U: Let me have a little fun.
Obo: I hate to say this, Utsuro-sama,
Obo: but the rat you were most fascinated by
Obo: was already blown away by a mere flap of your wings.
U: Oh.
U: That's a shame.
Ymz: Shinpachi-kun!
Oki: Run!
Oki: Hurry up and run away!
U: Oh? You still breathe?
U: It wouldn't be any fun otherwise.
Shin: Okita-san!
U: If you have risen in a bid to change this country,
U: then you mustn't lose heart over this.
U: Muster up every last ounce of strength you have.
G: Commander-General, are you all right?!
G: We can't reach the vice commander.
G: What are we to do—
Sas: Sheesh.
Sas: You ordered the men to retreat, but you're still there after all, huh?
Sas: You realized that my plan was never going to succeed, didn't you?
Sas: Even if we mustered up everything we had,
Sas: it still wouldn't be enough to topple this country or the heavens, huh?
Sas: I never imagined you would act this way.
Sas: I suppose even elites have a lot they don't know.
Sas: Like why you continue to fight there instead of abandoning me...
Sas: Or why I'm heading there.
Nob: Got you.
U: There's no one on your side who can move, either.
Gin: Oh, there is.
Gin: There's one right here!
Oki: He's actually going toe-to-toe with that monster.
Oki: Is he dealing with that swordsmanship on pure instinct alone?
Oki: No, it looks more like...
Oki: He's familiar with that sword?
Oki: Like having a chance reunion with a sword it has crossed thousands of times,
Oki: only his sword is reacting.
Oki: Boss, don't tell me...
U: You know my sword, don't you?
U: If so, then it's probably
U: in a memory
U: of defeat you cannot wipe away.
: You know
U: that your sword
U: can't reach me.
Kag: Gin-chan!
Gin: Even if my sword can't reach you,
Gin: our sword will.
Gin: Begone, specter.
Obo: White Yaksha.
Obo: No matter how many times you cut him down,
Obo: you can't escape
Obo: the karma you took upon yourself back then.
Obo: So long as you defy the heavens,
Obo: you're fated to keep k*lling that man.
Oki: H-His wound...
U: Like I said, your sword can't cut me.
Ymz: Now! Retreat!
Ymz: On the double!
Oki: Boss!
Oki: We can't last any longer.
Obo: After them.
Obo: Don't let a single one escape.
Gin: Just who...
Gin: Who the hell is that?!
Nob: Someone who's both Shoyo and not at the same time.
Nob: One thing's for sure.
Nob: You're not the one who k*lled Shoyo.
Nob: It was him!

Nob: Is there any point to this?
Sas: Not really. I just came up with it right now.
Nob: We agreed that I'd be the one to k*ll you!
