07x51 - Farewell Shinsengumi
Posted: 09/23/22 13:42
Ymz: Yamazaki Sagaru's observation report:
Ymz: As a Shinsengumi inspector, I've performed stakeouts at many locations
Ymz: and have written observation reports on them,
Ymz: but never did I imagine
Ymz: that the last report I'd ever write would be on this place...
Writing,Sign: Shinsengumi
Sign: The g*ng of degenerates that plotted to overthrow the bakufu,
Sign: Shinsengumi.
Sign: That name may well go down in history as a group of traitors.
Sign: In case that day does come, I record the truth here so—
Sign: No, the truth is...
Sign: To be honest, I don't even know if what we did was good or bad.
Sign: But there is one thing I can say for sure.
Sign: We don't care whether we're called loyalists or traitors.
Sign: We just wanted to be
Sign: Shinsengumi with him.

Warning,Sign: Watch the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Mat: Don't look back!
Mat: Keep moving, looking nowhere but forward!
Mat: No matter what...
Mat: We must escape!
Ymz: The Mimawarigumi,
Ymz: and the Katsura-led Joi Rebels...
Ymz: With help from several parties,
Ymz: we shook free of the Naraku's persistent pursuit
Ymz: and barely managed to escape from Kokujo Island,
Ymz: successfully rescuing Chief Kondo.
Ymz: But it came at a huge cost.
Kon: Toshi...
Kon: Did either he or I really have to die?
Kon: Was there no other way?
Kon: Instead of just black and white,
Kon: couldn't I have worked with him to bring out a different color?
Hij: Kondo-san,
Hij: the colors have already mixed.
Hij: We have to wear a shade of black that has various other colors mixed in
Hij: and keep moving forward.
Hij: That's our duty as survivors.
Tet: I had no idea
Tet: that my brother had someone who would shed tears for him.
Tet: I was related to him by blood,
Tet: but I never understood Sasaki Isaburo at all.
Tet: It seems I didn't know him well enough to cry for him.
Tet: I found people I could call brothers where my brother dumped me.
Tet: I met comrades I could call family despite having no blood relation with them.
Tet: And yet, I don't know why...
Tet: But the first person I wanted to show them off to
Tet: was him, after all.
Tet: If possible,
Tet: I wanted to see all of my brothers
Tet: having a heart-to-heart.

Sas: Have you been receiving my emails?
Sas: Nobume-san, you are truly discourteous.
Sas: If you don't reply to my emails once in a while,
Sas: then even as an elite,
Sas: I'm going to end up sulking, yo.
Kon: Pay your respects to the Commissioner-General!
Nob: Isaburo...
Nob: Thank you for giving me
Phone,: Isaburo... Thank you for giving me such a wonderful yo.
Nob: such a wonderful yo.
Ymz: Sasaki Isaburo vanished into the darkness, never to see the light of dawn again.
Ymz: But his struggles opened the door for change, if only a bit.
Ymz: The unprecedented revolt that came from the heart of the bakufu
Ymz: would shake the newly formed government to its very core.
Ymz: The mastermind was the Commissioner-General of Police.
Ymz: And while they had been manipulated,
Ymz: a lot of police organizations took part in the revolt.
Ymz: When Shogun Nobunobu heard the news, he flew into a fit of rage.
Ymz: He crushed every police organization that had been under the influence of Sasaki
Ymz: and decided to reform the police system from the ground up.
Ymz: Those who had begun to doubt Nobunobu's methods because of that started to fall apart,
Ymz: and Lord Matsudaira, who had anticipated this all along,
Ymz: secretly took them under his wing
Ymz: and meticulously absorbed them
Ymz: into the anti-bakufu faction Lord Shigeshige had founded.
Ymz: A mere three months after the establishment of the new government,
Ymz: as the people's trust in the bakufu kept falling,
Ymz: it started a groundswell of sentiment in favor of upheaval.
HB : Wait, wait!
HB : That's reckless!
HB : You can't go back home, Otae-san!
HB : Did you forget that you got into a huge fight with the shogun?!
HB : So what if that stupid lord is preoccupied right now?!
Tae: But I can't continue to trouble you all any longer.
Tae: Kozenigata-san's wounds have healed,
Tae: so he doesn't need my help anymore.
Tae: I think it's about time.
HB : No, no!
HB : Boss took an injury to the head that won't ever heal,
HB : his heart's in tatters due to his wife running away,
HB : his feet stink,
HB : and his breath stinks!
HB : Please look after him a while longer!
HB : He's right, Otae-chan!
HB : Even though my wound had almost healed, it opened up again just now.
HB : Feel free to stay as long as you like!
HB : Besides, if something were to happen,
HB : the police force is hardly functional right now!
HB : It's too dangerous!
Tae: Yes.
Tae: That's exactly why police need to go back to doing their jobs,
Tae: and cabaret girls have to go back to doing theirs.
Tae: If you're ever worn out from work again, please stop by the bar.
Tae: I'll give you special treatment.
Tae: Thank you for having me.
HB : Wait, Otae-san—
HB : Haji.
HB : That's enough.
HB : She'll be all right now.
HB : They must have come back...
HB : Her police.
Tae: Don't you think it's high time you stopped doing this?
Tae: You'll catch a cold.
Kon: Why'd you have to say something like that today, of all days?
Kon: I wish you'd acted like usual,
Kon: called me a perverted stalker,
Kon: and hit me like you always do.
Kon: You're making it hard to say goodbye.
Hij: Abscond from Edo?
Hij: You're telling the Shinsengumi to abandon Edo?
Kat: Given the political situation, if you stay in Edo,
Kat: the lives of Kondo and Matsudaira that you just saved,
Kat: and even your own, will be danger.
Kat: Dying without achieving a thing
Kat: is what would count as truly abandoning Edo, Hijikata.
Kat: Nobunobu definitely won't leave you alive.
Kat: If he let the rebels who embarrassed the bakufu and destroyed its image walk free,
Kat: the new government would crumble.
Kat: He must be desperately looking for you right about now.
Kat: At this point, Matsudaira and you Shinsengumi
Kat: are symbols of the revolutionary faction.
Kat: Should these symbols be lost yet again,
Kat: the flame of revolution trying to change this country will surely die out this time.
Kat: If you truly love this country,
Kat: you must leave it for now and focus on staying alive.
Ymz: Our role is to leave the political center,
Ymz: stir up revolutionaries all over the country, take them in,
Ymz: and secure the revolutionary faction's foundation as its nucleus.
Ymz: Abandoning Edo to protect it...
Ymz: While we understood the reasoning,
Ymz: it was difficult for our hearts to accept it.
Ymz: Because it meant parting with the people we'd protected all this while.
Ymz: Because it meant parting with the people who'd supported us all this while.
Ymz: And because
Ymz: it meant our parting as Shinsengumi.
Hij: We knew things would end up this way, but it's still ironic.
Meals,Sign: Set Meals
Hij: We always fought to remain the Shinsengumi, no matter what happened.
Hij: And yet, because of that, we can't remain the Shinsengumi anymore?
Gin: So Zura tricked you and sucked you dry, huh?
Gin: This is why I told you to be wary of that con man.
Hij: What are you going to do?
Hij: You helped us out,
Hij: so you can't stay in Edo anymore, either.
Gin: If even Odd Jobs left after you guys,
Gin: it'd make the people of Edo sad,
Gin: wouldn't it, lady?
Hij: You're saying you'll stay?
Hij: Do you really understand the situation?
Hij: Edo no longer has...
Hij: That's exactly why, huh?
Oki: Boss is staying because Edo has lost the Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi, right?
Oki: If you stay behind for us,
Oki: we'll be able to leave Edo without worry, huh?
Oki: You've gotta be kidding me.
Oki: Be it our general or yours,
Oki: I can't let anyone else die.
Kag: What, are you saying we can't protect Edo by ourselves?
Kag: Do you wanna see for yourself, then?
Oki: The hell are you doing?!
Oki: I'm not completely healed yet!
Kag: What the hell did you come here for?
Kag: Are you here to meekly say goodbye?
Kag: Who, you?
Kag: Don't you have something else to do before worrying about us?
Kag: Both our groups are in equal danger.
Kag: But looking at how you're acting, you guys seem likelier to drop dead first.
Oki: You're right.
Oki: I'd forgotten that I needed to clear something up before leaving Edo...
Oki: Which of us is stronger!
Kag: Exactly!
Tae: There's no need for goodbyes.
Tae: After all, so long as you're around,
Tae: the Shinsengumi will carry on, no matter where you all go.
Tae: After all, wherever you may be,
Tae: you'll be fighting to protect Edo and all of us,
Tae: and I know that.
Tae: So please don't look so gloomy.
Tae: Leave with your head held high and a smile on your face.
Tae: If you don't, I won't be able to keep my promise to Shin-chan.
Tae: I won't be able to say "take care" or "welcome back."
Shin: When you come back this time,
Shin: don't do it from above the ceiling or under the overhang.
Shin: Waltz in through the front gate.
Shin: We'd be more than happy to offer you some tea.
Hij: I've got some good alcohol stocked up there.
Hij: I don't like drinking in a big group,
Hij: so I often came here and drank by myself.
Hij: You can have it.
Hij: They're expensive, so drink them one at a time.
Hij: By the time you've finished all of them,
Hij: I'll be back.
Hij: And I'll repay the rest of the debt then.
Gin: I'll gladly take the booze,
Gin: but I don't recall ever doing you a favor.
Hij: Oh, you did.
Hij: Your faulty brain may have forgotten,
Hij: but I remember.
Hij: I'll never forget.
Gin: Even if I did, you repaid me a long time ago.
Gin: I'm the one who got help recovering something he'd forgotten.
Gin: So don't come back carrying some debt to be repaid.
Gin: Bring back a bottle of booze,
Gin: not to drink alone, but to be shared with a big group.
Gin: That's more than enough.
L: Here you are. Your usual.
L: One Uji Gintoki bowl and one Hijikata Special.
L: Huh? What's the matter, you two?
L: Not eating?
Gin: Nah...
Gin: Sorry, lady, but today...
Bo: It's the other way around.
Kag: Looks like we've both got a ways to go.
Oki: Well, duh.
Oki: We couldn't do a thing against that incomprehensible crow.
Oki: But keep this in mind.
Oki: By the next time we meet,
Oki: I will be stronger than you and that crow!
Oki: So make sure you...
Bo: Don't lose to anyone else!
Bo: That was awful.
Kon: I'll be back.
Tae: Take care.
Kon: No education, no status.
Kon: The only thing we can trust is our own swords.
Kon: And we want to make a name for ourselves using them.
Kon: So we gathered in Edo.
Kon: Today, we will have to leave it,
Kon: but our dreams won't end here.
Kon: Let's come back, no matter what,
Kon: to the Shinsengumi's home.
Kon: We'll swear it as many times as it takes.
Kon: We're gonna become samurai here in Edo!
Ymz: That's right.
Ymz: The Shinsengumi's dream is only just beginning.
Ymz: The end of our true path is still far, far away.
