Title: Silver Soul Arc
Title: Geezers Carve the Things They Shouldn't Forget into Their Wrinkles
Ymz: As you can see, Boss,
Ymz: we haven't changed one bit.
Ymz: We came back with our desire and ambition to protect Edo still intact.
Ymz: We're the same old Shinsengumi.
Gin: But you alone are a completely different person now!
Shin: Yamazaki-san! What happened to you?
Warning,Warning: Watch the Silver Soul Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Shin: Why do you look like you just got back from the Vietnam w*r?!
Ymz: Huh? Do I look that different?
Shin: "Look"? You are different!
G: Way to go, Zakiyama-san!
G: The vice chief and Okita-san couldn't handle it, but you took it out in one sh*t!
G: As long as we have you, the Liberation Army is no match for us!
G: Zakiyama! Zakiyama!
Gin: Hey, even their power structure has changed a little!
Gin: That plain guy's become the nucleus of the squad!
Kon: I quit mosaics.
Hij: I quit smoking.
Oki: I quit quitting messing with Hijikata.
Ymz: I quit Yamazaki.
Gin: Why'd he alone grow far beyond his potential?!
G: Zakiyama! Zakiyama!
Ymz: I don't really get it myself,
Ymz: but if I had to say, I guess I liberated myself, too.
Ymz: I tried to be like the chief, who realized his weakness and trained with restraints.
Ymz: But I was even weaker, so I couldn't handle the weight.
Ymz: One day, I noticed that my body felt heavy, even though I wasn't carrying anything.
Ymz: And that I may have been shackled by restraints all along.
Ymz: So...
Ymz: I threw off the restraints, and this is the result.
Gin: Restraints? That's your body!
Gin: What's going on here?
Gin: Zakiyama came out of Yamazaki's ass? No, Yamazaki came out of Zakiyama's ass?
Gin: What the hell are you? What the hell is he?!
Ymz: That's something like the heavy T-shirt Goku took off.
Ymz: It seems I was born wearing a heavy T-shirt called Yamazaki Sagaru.
Gin: Did you really just compare him to an object?!
Ymz: Once I threw it off, my body felt lighter than ever before.
Ymz: Sometimes, it's so light, I feel like I might drift all the way to the heavens.
Gin: You shouldn't throw it away! It's probably your soul or something!
Kon: How impressive.
Kon: Even you reached the blank state of mind where you cast even yourself away?
Ymz: Chief, don't tell me... You too?
Kon: Hey, who are you talking to?
Kon: The chief is over here.
Shin: Forget blank state of mind! There's no sign of the chief anymore!
Shin: Why'd he turn into a gorilla just by taking off a T-shirt?
Shin: He looks like gorilla dung now!
Kon: It seems I was a gorilla born wearing a heavy gorilla T-shirt.
Kon: Now I've finally been freed from the gorilla.
Shin: No, you haven't! You've become a more concentrated version of gorilla!
Kon: New enemies?
Kon: Let's go, Yamazaki! Let's show them what we can do without T-shirts!
Ymz: Yeah!
Shin: Hey, hey, hey!
Shin: The T-shirts got tangled up!
Shin: The T-shirts got caught!
Shin: The T-shirt's crying!
Shin: Hey, timeout! If you're gonna take them off, take them off right!
Shin: You're gonna rip the T-shirts!
Bo: Untangle it, please!
Oki: Like this?
Shin: Not that way!
Hij: Like this.
Shin: You're not even trying!
Shin: Are you pissed off at them? Are you pissed at them after all?
Shin: Hey! Both the gorilla and Rambo collapsed!
Gin: I knew it! Those T-shirts weren't supposed to be cast off!
Gin: Hurry up and put them back on!
Shin: The expl*si*n blew the gorilla T-shirt away!
Gin: If we lose it, the gorilla's going straight to heaven!
Oki: Don't worry. For now, I dressed the gorilla again...
Oki: in an Ahodas T-shirt.
Kon: Let's go! The match isn't over yet!
Kon: sh**t for tomorrow!
Gin: Hey! Ahodas took over his body!
Shin: Why is a T-shirt that calls him an idiot dictating his personality?
G: Well, this is better than before! Follow him!
G: Aim for the goal!
Shin: Goal? Where is that?!
Gin: What the hell did you tax thieves come back for?
Hij: Shut it! We haven't gotten any pay in ages!
Hij: We're trying to save the world for free! Cut us some slack here!
Gin: If this is all you've got, the world is doomed for sure!
Oki: There, there. Relax a bit, Hijikata-san.
Oki: Here you go.
Hij: Cheers.
Hij: Wait, why're you ruining my attempt to quit?!
Kag: You don't get to live longer when Earth's heading for destruction!
Oki: She's right.
Oki: If we're all bound for destruction, your lungs should be the first to go.
Hij: Why does all responsibility rest on my lungs?!
Shin: Hey! Yamazaki-san's speeding ahead toward destruction by himself!
Gin: Y'know, if you hadn't left Edo wide open, this would never have happened!
Hij: You guys were the ones who neglected it! You got the world destroyed!
Gin: Screw you! Half the blame lies with you guys!
Gin: The other half lies with your lungs!
Hij: In the end, it's all my fault?!
Hij: Hey, what's so funny?
Hij: Do you realize the situation we're in?
Ttsnsk: I do, Vice Chief!
Ttsnsk: The terminal was broken and the town destroyed,
Ttsnsk: but this town came out of it without a scratch!
Ttsnsk: The Edo we fell in love with is right here!
Capt: The old bakufu army?
Capt: After all that's happened, they still want to die with their country?
Capt: All ships, lock and load!
Capt: Fire!
Capt: Wh-What's going on?
G: The muzzles exploded as soon as we fired!
Capt: What's this black haze?
Mats: Flame Haze.
Mats: A smokescreen that reacts to high temperatures and prevents use of all firearms.
Mats: I see.
Mats: This isn't only the land of the samurai.
Mats: It also belongs to you guys, huh?
Sac: The civilians have been evacuated.
Sac: The town's completely empty now.
Sac: Everything's ready,
Sac: Leader.
Zen: Now we're free to go wild.
Zen: As ninja, our duty is to live in the shadows.
Zen: But we don't need to anymore, now that we've lost our lord, the light.
Zen: Show off the skills you've honed all you want in broad daylight.
Zen: Etch into their memories the fact that this country is also home to ninja.
Zen: Not in the shadows, but under the light that shines upon you.
Zen: Live and die to the fullest.
Sac: Is that the answer you've found?
Zen: There's no right answer.
Zen: But if, just as I tried to protect the princess as Shigeshige's buddy,
Zen: she's trying to fight as Shigeshige's sister,
Zen: then I have no right to stop her.
Zen: In that case,
Zen: all I can do is protect everything.
Zen: That's the light that shines upon me right now.
Zen: The Oniwaban are joining the fray!
En: Give me a status report.
G: The old bakufu army suddenly showed up at Edo Castle
G: and dealt a critical blow to our first wave.
Kon: Charge!
Hij: The Oniwaban?
Kag: Sacchan!
Gin: Looks like they've finally stepped out of the shadows.
Sac: Playtime's over!
Sac: I'll show you what a ninja can do!
Sac: Here I come...
Sac: Gin-san!
Gin: Why Gin-san?!
Gin: Why are you jumping at me with that face?
Gin: You looked more like an enemy than the enemy does!
Sac: How cruel.
Sac: We haven't met in so long, and you shame me like this?
Sac: Your abuse really is a cut above.
Sac: I'm your sow for life, Master!
Gin: This deviant is too much to deal with after so long.
Gin: I forgot how to defend against this, so it's landing body blows. I'm gonna puke!
Sac: But I believed in you.
Sac: I knew you'd come back.
Sac: I did my best, you know?
Sac: I was sure things would work out if we held on until you returned.
Gin: Sorry I kept you waiting.
Sac: You don't have to apologize.
Sac: You've come back so big and sturdy.
Sac: But I don't know about this size. I might not be able to handle it.
Gin: That ain't Gin-san.
Gin: Gin-san ain't that much of a showoff.
Zen: I didn't think I'd see that stupid shtick again before the world was destroyed.
Gin: I didn't think your assh*le would be destroyed before the world, either.
Sac: No! Gin-san's chastity!
Gin: That's Zen-san's chastity, not Gin-san's.
Zen: I'm not so optimistic as to have thought things would change once you returned.
Zen: But looking at your stupid face
Zen: certainly did help me relax a little.
Gin: That's what I'd like to say.
Gin: Seeing you guys reminded me...
Gin: That even if the world were ending the next day,
Gin: we're the kind of morons who'd rush to buy Jump like usual.
Gin: That it doesn't matter if the world ends or not, or whether I reach him or not.
Gin: That I was the kind of person who'd run at full speed anyway.
Gin: For a moment there, I was ready to end things for myself.
Gin: But you guys showed me the way back here again.
Gin: Thank you for waiting for me as the same old morons.
Oki: How rude.
Oki: Hijikata-san sucked his abstinence pipe until he could suck on it like a pacifier,
Oki: and you call him the same old moron?
Hij: Shut up.
Hij: That's not me. I prefer Magazine.
Zen: If this keeps up, we won't be able to buy Jump or Magazine.
Gin: In that case...
Gin: We just need to save the world by Monday!
Kon: That's some big talk.
Kon: You wanna stop the world's end over the weekend?
Kon: Let's do it, then.
Kon: We'll turn that lame joke into reality by our hands
Kon: and laugh until our sides hurt!
Kon: What say you,
Kon: Mimawarigumi Vice Chief?
Kon: I can't wait to see how your grumpy face looks when the time comes.
Nob: I'll laugh all you want.
Nob: But it looks like those laughs won't come cheap.
En: A black haze? That won't be enough to erase our fire.
En: The more you struggle, the more sorrow and wrath it causes,
En: and the more it stokes our flame of revenge.
En: Mobile w*apon
En: Takemikazuchi...
En: Launch.
En: Launch.
Zen: Yikes.
Zen: This is bad.
Zen: They're trying to burn away the flame haze from above.
G: Chief!
G: It's not just from the air.
G: Reinforcements are streaming in on the surface, too.
G: No, that's not all!
G: Could they be...
G: The Dakini!
G: The Shinra!
G: The Yato!
Kon: The three great warrior races are here?
Kon: They've even got them on their side?
Hij: We've only been fighting the opening act so far?
Oki: Sheesh. Forget the weekend, we might not even last the day.
Gen: At last, huh?
Shin: Gengai-san!
Gen: Looks like it's our time to shine.
Gen: If that's the enemy's game, we'll just have to go all-out ourselves, too.
Gen: Let's show them what Earth is truly capable of.
Gin: Gramps...
Kin: We're first up, huh?
Kin: Oh, well.
Kin: If silver's not up to the task,
Kin: gold will have to pick up the slack.
Kin: From cleaning up after a moron to saving the world,
Kin: Odd Jobs Kin-chan will do anything.
Shin: Kin-san!
Gin: You!
Kin: Hey, defective protag.
Kin: The man I was modeled after is having trouble saving the world?
Kin: I'll take care of half the world.
Kin: Even a defective piece like you can handle the other half, I'm sure.
Tama: He never learns, does he?
Tama: Silver or gold, each of us is but a cog.
Tama: But if all of us cogs come together, we could turn the machine of the world.
Gen: As of now, Kabuki District is the cornerstone of humanity's defense.
Gen: The rest...
Oto: Yeah, you can leave it in our hands.
Gin: Gramps! Tama!
Gin: What are you thinking?!
Gin: Gramps!
Sab: What's the point of making these k*lling machines?
Sab: Didn't you always say you wanted to make machines that served mankind?
Sab: I loved watching you as you had fun tinkering with things while covered in grease.
Gen: And so, you joined the w*r instead of me
Gen: and d*ed, leaving this geezer behind.
Gen: A lot has happened since then.
Gen: I met all kinds of people and had all kinds of thoughts.
Gen: Thoughts like why I survived,
Gen: and why I build machines.
Gen: The answer...
Gen: You and the people you brought into my life showed me.
Gen: The reason I built machines was all for this moment.
G: Wh-What is that massive cannon?!
Gen: Machines exist to serve and help people.
Gen: This is my answer...
Gen: The Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Gengai Cannon!
Shin: It's just a dirty joke!
Shin: Earth grew a pen*s!
Gen: It's too late.
Gen: Right from the time we lost to you in the Joi w*r, all the way up to now,
Gen: I was secretly building this thing underground.
Gen: Tama, Kinnoji. Will you do it?
Gen: I need your help to power that thing up.
Gen: When gold and robot queen connect to the two control spheres and become crown je*els,
Gen: they can launch something from this pole here.
Shin: It's just a dirty joke!
Tama: We've already steeled ourselves, Gengai-sama.
Kin: Don't waste this golden cog,
Kin: gramps.
Gen: Thank you.
Gen: Back then, we didn't lose to you guys.
Gen: We lost to your science and technology—your machines.
Gen: But we absorbed your technology and evolved.
Gen: In order to never have the things we hold dear taken from us again,
Gen: we kept turning the cogs each and every day.
Gen: Amanto, I owe you for back then.
Gen: I'll repay you now.
Gen: Along with the scrap metal I fell in love with.
Gen: Machines all over Edo!
Gen: Let me borrow your cogs!
Gen: Show them what you're made of!
Gen: Go!
G: Wha...
G: What's this? Nothing happened...
Tama: Then,
Tama: the machine that will put a stop to the w*r is...
Gen: Yeah, it's not that big lug.
Gen: It's these tiny ones.
Gen: They're what are called nanomachines.
Gen: I've named them bees.
Gen: If launched through this thing, the bees will stay in the air
Gen: and infiltrate any machines.
Gen: And their virus will take over all the targets' systems
Gen: and halt their functions.
Gen: In other words...
Gen: they're machines that k*ll machines.
Gen: But it'd be pointless to stop the Liberation Army for a moment.
Gen: If we're using these, it must be to make a barrier that covers the whole country.
Gen: Basically, if humanity is to survive, we must abandon you guys.
Gen: Besides, the important thing to remember is...
Kin: ...when the cannon is frozen,
Kin: you'll need machines to take over from the system, right?
Kin: Who else could do that but us?
Gen: Kinnoji...
Gen: Do you realize what you're saying?
Gen: This is an absurd role that involves k*lling yourself!
Kin: But the world will end unless we do this, right?
Kin: Besides, I won't be fighting the Liberation Army.
Kin: It'll be that man.
Kin: The time has finally come to pay him back for back then.
Kin: If he's trying to save the world, I'll save it before him.
Kin: That's Sakata Kintoki's revenge.
Kin: Isn't that a golden idea, Tama-san?
Tama: The color gold is somewhat similar to poopy brown, isn't it?
Kin: Come on. I see you're as cold to machines as always.
Tama: But...
Tama: Deep down, you're a machine Gengai-sama made, too.
Tama: Gengai-sama, there is no need to worry.
Tama: We know.
Tama: Every machine that has been built with love knows.
Tama: We know what you felt as you turned the cogs day after day.
Tama: We know that machines exist to serve people.
Gin: Gramps!
Gin: Gramps!
Gin: Tama!
Gin: Tama!
