Tak: I guess humans don't change that easily, huh?
Tak: Even after dying,
Tak: even after ten years,
Tak: everybody's still just screwing around.
Gin: I don't think so.
Gin: Ten years ago, I would've k*lled you.
Kat: I see.
Kat: So you've learned to save your fun for later, huh?
Kat: You're all grown up.
Gin: Shove it.

Title: Battle on Rakuyo Arc Part
Title: Paths
Warning,Sign: Watch the Battle on Rakuyo arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Tak: It seems things changed drastically while I was dead.
Tak: The guys who were trying to defend the country from me until just the other day
Tak: are being targeted by it.
Gin: Nothing's changed.
Gin: Once we take them out, it'll be your turn next,
Gin: Takasugi.
Kat: Until then, do the best you can to stay alive.
Kat: If you're still worth using at all, that is.
Tak: Hey, what the hell are they saying?
Sak: Translated simply, they're saying...
Sak: "Don't die yet, buddy."
Sak: "A lot has happened, but forget all of it for now and play ni—"
Kat: Who said anything of the sort? This interpreter sucks!
Kat: Bring us Toda Natsuko!
Gin: When did we ever play nice with that moron?!
Gin: I'll keep it nice and short, so translate it properly this time.
Gin: "F*ck you, man. Ptoo."
Sak: Why'd you turn into a foreigner?
Sak: Mr. Takasugi, he's basically sayin'...
Sak: He wants to f*ck you.
Gin: Don't translate that literally!
Gin: Ow!
Kat: Over here, Mr. Sakamoto.
Sak: What the heck? Can't you just talk to each other directly?
Kat: Oh, sorry. I'd built up some phlegm.
Sak: You just wanted to spit it out? I'm not a spittoon!
Kat: You don't need to interpret.
Kat: Just spit some phlegm on him or something.
Sak: Why couldn't you just spit on him directly?!
Sak: Um, Mr. Takasugi...
Tak: Tell him I'm sending that phlegm right back at him.
Sak: Send it right back at him, then!
Sak: Don't use me as a middleman!
Sak: I'm not a phlegm interpreter!
Sak: Damn, this stinks!
Sak: One of you has really stinky spit!
Gin: Tell him he can't have any phlegm when he just woke up.
Gin: Hey, c'mon, stop—
Tak: Tell him not to blame me, but the fool who lives and breathes sugar all the time.
Tak: Seriously, your phlegm reeks!
Kat: Tell him I had ramen with extra garlic but brushed my teeth.
Kat: Ugh, that seriously stinks! Gross!
Sak: Knock it off!
Sak: They're the ones you need to be spittin' at right now!
Tak: So the students of the honorable Shoka Sonjuku school
Tak: are all enemies of the state now, huh?
Gin: That's no state.
Gin: That's nothing like a country.
U: They thirst...
U: The flesh and blood within me that once made up that man.
U: Are you happy or sad?
U: Your students, who once split up because of you,
U: have now gathered again here for you...
U: To be erased by you, Shoyo.
Hen: They even built things like that?
Tak: I see.
Tak: So that monster crow has finally been dragged down to a place I can reach him.
Kat: Takasugi, you...
Kat: You knew about Utsuro?
Tak: Maybe, maybe not.
Tak: But if anyone could capture a man so strong and k*ll him easily,
Tak: it'd have to be Sensei himself.
Tak: No, it'd have to be something else that was within him.
: You ended up here after losing your way, too, didn't you?
: I am the same.
: I'm still lost.
: But that's all right.
: Doubt yourself, lose your way,
: and become the kind of samurai you want to be.
Tak: Sensei was fighting something...
Tak: Most likely the something that was within him.
Tak: But he lost,
Tak: and only it remained.
Tak: And it's still acting like it owns the world, rebuilding countries as it pleases.
Tak: In that case, I'll have to keep fighting, too.
Tak: I don't care what you guys do from here on.
Tak: My mind was made up a long time ago.
Tak: I'll simply destroy this rotten world he built!
Mat: Shinsuke-sama!
Ban: Like they'd stop now.
Ban: Those men cannot be stopped anymore.
Tak: Hold the crows off!
Gin: We'll crush that junk!
Kat: That day,
Kat: we all made countless graves.
Kat: Not just for Sensei and our comrades,
Kat: but also for ourselves.
Kat: When Yoshida Shoyo d*ed, his students d*ed with him.
Kat: Their paths would never again come together...
Kat: Or so I thought.
Kat: But, even as we walked down separate paths,
Kat: we never strayed from Sensei's teachings.
Kat: Seeking the kind of samurai each of us wanted to be,
Kat: we doubted ourselves and lost our way,
Kat: but we never stopped walking,
Kat: and that's why our paths converged once more.
Kat: The one who brought them together
Kat: was none other than Sensei.
Kat: It might only be a fleeting chance meeting.
Kat: But, even if it's only momentary,
Kat: if we can go back to being Yoshida Shoyo's students once more,
Kat: if we can go back to being just friends again,
Kat: we couldn't ask for anything more.
Tak: How does it feel to be a liability to a guy who just left a sickbed?
Gin: And how does it feel to be forced to rely on that liability to survive?
Gin: It sucks.
G: Impossible!
G: They destroyed those weapons all by themselves?
Mat: Now's our chance!
Mat: Fight them off!
Mat: We're going back to Earth alive!
Hen: We have those four on our side!
Sak: Good grief.
Sak: Don't put us on a pedestal only when you need us.
Sak: But I have to apologize, everyone.
Sak: I've started to feel it doesn't matter
Sak: whether we win this battle or not.
Sak: If I just cast aside thoughts of victory and defeat, I can raise hell with those punks.
Sak: If you knew I was havin' pathetic thoughts like those,
Sak: you probably wouldn't let me stand by your side anymore.
Gin: Tatsuma!
Sak: Comin'!
Sak: Zura! Takasugi!
Sak: Pretend to retreat and draw the enemy in!
Sak: Gintoki!
Sak: Use that chance to get past 'em!
Sak: We didn't come all this way just to help an old pal.
Sak: Gintoki...
Sak: Use your old pals to help the new ones you've found
Sak: who'll support our country's future!
Sak: Your old friends will take on the country of old.
Sak: You lead your new friends to the new one.
Sak: We'll be all right now.
Sak: Go, for the people you truly want to protect right now!
Tak: Have you all lost your minds?
Tak: Brat.
Tak: I didn't save your life for that crap.
Tak: Don't let anyone else take his head.
Tak: wins, losses,
Tak: and one draw...
Tak: Next time, the country or whatever won't matter.
Tak: I'll mop up everything else
Tak: and come for his head alone.
Tak: So, until then...
Tak: ...take care...
Tak: ...of our friend.
Shin: Got it!
Sak: This is for the best.
Sak: Even if we never meet again,
Sak: we'll be friends who can stand by you with our heads held high until the very last.
U: Prepare to land.
U: It seems I have to correct my students' failings myself.
U: Sir.
O: Utsuro-sama.
O: I promise to bring you their heads.
O: I, Oboro, am also your student.
O: Allow me to perform one last act of loyalty for you.
G: Come in!
G: This is the th Division!
G: Requesting immediate help!
G: The enemy's counterattack has dealt great damage to both the th and th Divisions!
U: Was it Umibozu?
G: Not just him.
G: There could be someone else on the move.
G: We've received word that our rear guard has been att*cked by an unknown unit!
G: And, while we haven't confirmed it,
G: we've also received word that it was just one man.
U: Oh?
G: Anyway, send hel—
Abu: Hey.
Abu: Where am I?
Abu: Is this Hell?
Umi: There's definitely a seat reserved for me in Hell after all this,
Umi: but I unfortunately still have my legs and hair.
Abu: Uh, you don't have any hair.
Abu: It's only a matter of time.
Abu: Our ride's almost here.
Umi: If you've got time for idle chatter, why not run?
Abu: Umibozu, are you really here to k*ll your stupid son?
Abu: If you are, why would you protect us?
Abu: What the hell did you come here to fight?
Umi: Don't ask me.
Umi: It's pathetic, right?
Umi: Even if I can take out thousands of enemies in front of me,
Umi: I have no idea how to have a proper father-son fight.
Umi: The only way I know to show my love and hatred is with this thing.
G: Bring my w*apon!
G: Umibozu, the living legend.
G: A worthy opponent indeed.
G: I am the st Division commander who has kept the Harusame going for a long time,
G: the Beast King, Shirei!
G: Can you take my att*ck...
Kam: Pull yourself together, Commander.
Kam: How could you mess up receiving your own w*apon?
Kam: But don't worry.
Kam: I'll finish your job for you.
Kam: Umibozu, the living legend.
Kam: A worthy opponent indeed.
Kam: Replacing st Division Commander Shirei as your opponent
Kam: is the th Division commander,
Kam: your stupid son.
G: Y-You're...
G: Kamui!
G: k*ll him!
Kam: Didn't you hear me?
Kam: I'm saying I'll take over your commander's job!
Kam: The enemy's over there.
Kam: Now, charge.
Umi: Don't throw things at people.
Umi: Don't point sharp objects at people.
Umi: I'm back from Hell
Umi: to fight you,
Umi: baldy!
Umi: Don't call me baldy.
Umi: Call me your cool-headed dad!
Abu: Commander! Umibozu!
Abu: Calm down!
Abu: This is not the time!
Abu: It begins...
Abu: The universe's worst father-son fight.
Abu: Nobody can stop it now!
Umi: Kamui.
Umi: Grow strong.
Umi: And protect Mom and Kagura.
Kam: Look at me, Umibozu.
Kam: I've grown strong.
Kam: Ever since then, I've desperately tried to follow in your footsteps.
Kam: Ever since then, I've kept fighting just to surpass you.
Kam: Look at me, Umibozu.
Kam: I've grown strong enough to k*ll you.
Kam: So go back to being a beast once again!
Kam: We're not father and son tied by blood here.
Kam: We both want to prove we're stronger than the other...
Kam: We're just two male beasts!
Kam: There isn't anyone who can stop us now...
Kag: No matter how many times you start this nonsense, I'll stop you each time.
Kag: Let's go back
Kag: to being just family.
Shin: Outta the way!
Shin: Where are you, Kagura-chan?!
Shin: If you're here, answer me!
Gin: Pachi-boy.
Gin: There's only one man who could pull this crap against this many people.
Shin: Umibozu-san...
Shin: He really does want to protect Kamui-san from the Harusame, not just stop him.
Gin: I don't know.
Gin: Whatever the old man wants,
Gin: that stupid son won't stop anymore.
Gin: If he's alive, he'll definitely come for his head.
Gin: And Kagura will definitely be there.
Gin: Let's hurry.
Gin: The Harusame's troops are starting to withdraw now.
Gin: That family of monsters are the last ones I expect to go down easily,
Gin: but the Harusame would never ignore them and retreat.
Gin: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Kag: Lower your fists, both of you.
Kag: It's still not too late.
Kag: We can still go back.
Umi: Kagura.
Kam: No, it is too late.
Umi: Kagura!
Kam: Your family doesn't exist anymore!
Kam: The older brother you knew doesn't exist anymore!
Kam: The father you know won't exist soon, either.
Kam: I thank you, sister of mine.
Kam: If his daughter dies in front of his eyes,
Kam: that beast may awaken once more!
Umi: Kamui!
Kag: The kid sister you knew doesn't exist anymore, either.
Kag: You're the only one who hasn't changed, Kamui.
Kag: You haven't grown strong at all!
Kag: You're the same sniveling guy you were when Daddy left us.
Kag: The same guy who put on a brave face in front of Mommy.
Kag: Nothing's changed at all.
Kag: Mommy and everybody else left you behind,
Kag: so you're sniveling and putting on a brave face.
Kag: You're the same old crybaby brother of mine.
Kag: You stupid brother!
Kag: I'm no longer the sister you knew, who only shed tears with you by your side!
Kag: I can now stand shoulder-to-shoulder, fight, and shed blood with you!
Kag: So...
Kag: Come back to us, Kamui!
Kag: It's not that baldy old man you should be raising your fists against!
Kag: You should be pointing them somewhere else!
Kag: I'll fight with you, so...
Umi: Stop...
Umi: Stop it...
Umi: That's enough.
Umi: Please, just stop!
Abu: Umibozu...
Abu: Umibozu!
Kag: Daddy!
Kag: Daddy!
