Warning: Watch the Silver Soul Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Gen: Why are you dying without a word?
Gen: At least cough up a complaint or two before you go.
Gen: You pieces of junk normally never listen to me,
Gen: so why now, of all times,
Gen: do you look like fine machinery
Gen: as you silently break down?
Gen: "Machines exist to serve people"?
Gen: You're certainly right.
Gen: But if you guys didn't want to,
Gen: I wouldn't have minded one bit.
Gen: Even if you didn't serve any purpose, even if you were useless pieces of junk...
Gen: As long you guys, my friends, were beside me,
Gen: I was fully prepared to die with you!
Gen: And yet...
Gen: I'm sorry.
Gen: I'm so sorry.
Gen: I'm so, so sorry!
Kin: That man poured his heart and soul, his whole life, into machines,
Kin: and now he has to throw them all away to stop the w*r?
Kin: He's been forced to make a choice far more painful than death.
Kin: But we still can't turn tail.
Kin: Because we're machines built by Hiraga Gengai!
Kin: Have you said your goodbyes,
Kin: Tama-san?
Tama: No. There's no need for that.
Tama: Whatever may be destroyed or stolen,
Tama: they will surely take it all back.
Tama: We will meet again one day, for sure.
Tama: So I will not say goodbye to anyone.
Kin: That so?
Kin: Think it's possible?
Kin: Can they do it?
Tama: Of course. I'm sure they can.
Tama: After all, they're the people who took the dullest piece of gold
Tama: and polished it enough for it to save half the world.
Kin: They spared my life once, anyway.
Kin: So I'll leave it in their hands...
Kin: This life!
Tama: And the world!
Bo: Listen up, humanity!
Bo: We leave the rest to you!
Tama: I don't need to say goodbye.
Tama: If there's one thing I can say, it's this:
Tama: Before, I never hesitated to perform my duties as a machine.
Tama: I was just another screw.
Tama: But to those who filled me with so much pointless data,
Tama: to those who
Tama: turned me into this oil-drenched screw...
Tama: Thank you for being my friends.
Gin: Tama!
Shin: On that day, the machines chose to quit being functioning machinery
Shin: and became completely useless friends of ours.
Title: Silver Soul Arc
Title: Machines That Pick Up Useless Habits Are Called People
G: We've totally lost contact with Earth!
G: No word on the well-being of the squads in action!
G: Even the battleships on standby in the main formation are being affected!
En: What is going on?
Sak: Too bad.
Sak: They wanted you ta have the best seats to see the fireworks, Shogun-sama,
Sak: but it seems they were all wet and soggy.
Sak: We're tired of standin' around.
Sak: Could you send us back ta where our friends are?
En: Wait.
Nb: No need. I can tell what happened without having to see it.
Nb: I believe I told you
Nb: that we will not lose!
G: Whoa. They sank all of the Liberation Army's battleships!
Tae: Tama-san...
Cat: Otose-san, you don't think they...
Oto: They'll come back, no matter what.
Gen: You got into a huge fight with machines from all over the universe.
Gen: Get a little rest for now.
Gen: But know that I'll repair you and work you to the bone again...
Gen: No matter what.
Gen: It's a promise.
Gen: So let us...
Oto: Let humanity take care of the rest.
Oto: This place is your home...
Bo: And we swear to protect it!
Kon: Even firearms have been neutralized because of their inner machinery.
Kon: That old man and his robots did it.
Kon: They really saved half the world!
Zen: Man, this sucks.
Zen: I'd finally prepared myself for the worst here.
Zen: Don't be getting my hopes up again.
Zen: Technology and weapons?
Zen: Are those the only areas we were overwhelmed in?
Zen: Did you forget about numbers?
Dak: The battle is only getting started.
Dak: Damn earthlings had a pretty amusing trick up their sleeve.
Dak: But we still have weapons right here...
Dak: We Dakini, feared as tanks of destruction.
G: Sotatsu-sama...
Sot: We'll have him carry the load.
Sot: I have no interest in revenge, freedom, or glory.
Sot: But we will take all the spoils.
Kag: Are those guys going to head toward the Kabuki District?
Shin: If such a huge army marches in there...
Gin: They knew that all along.
Hij: The geezer and the others used the Kabuki District as bait knowing this would happen.
Zen: The most important thing in w*r is predicting the enemy's moves.
Kon: Right now, it's obvious where they will go and what they're after.
Kon: Right now, we might be able to cause a miracle.
Kon: Edo's biggest hoodlum district has given Edo one last hope.
Oto: Close the gates!
Sign: Kabuki District First
Sign: Earth Defense Town
Sign: Kabuki District First
Tae: All right.
Tae: This is mankind's final stronghold.
Tae: Until our friends across Edo come here,
Tae: we must hold out no matter what.
Cat: We don't have any means of communication.
Cat: Will anyone really come for us?
Tae: They will.
Tae: We don't need to communicate. They already know.
Dak: Charge!
Tae: They know how much
Tae: we all love this town.
Dak: Charge!
Zen: The enemy's target is the cannon.
Zen: They think destroying it will fix
Zen: their broken machines and reestablish contact with their rear.
Zen: They have huge numbers, but that's also their weakness.
Zen: If we poke at them from multiple sides and make then panic,
Zen: they'll soon lose their footing and go out of control.
Zen: That said, be careful.
Zen: Don't go in too deep. Keep your distance.
Sac: We know.
Sac: Kabuki District's residents risked it all to give us this ray of hope.
Sac: We won't let it be in vain!
G: Vice Chief!
G: We're ready!
Hij: Think we can do this?
G: If we set up that many, it should work.
Hij: Listen up.
Hij: Consider this battle lost if they reach the Kabuki District.
Hij: We'll strike at the center of their long formation and split them up.
Kon: After that, how many do we each have to cut down?
Hij: Let's see...
Hij: If you cut down two hundred each, I'll give you a bonus.
G: Two hundred?
Oki: Then if I cut down a thousand, the position of vice chief is mine?
Hij: I'll consider it.
G: Wow, the vice chief finally gave his blessing!
G: If Captain Okita becomes vice chief, the world will end anyway.
Ymz: You can say that again.
Ymz: But if it's going to end either way, that way sounds like it'd be more fun.
Kon: Yeah, I feel the same way.
Kon: At this point, whether the world ends or not,
Kon: it's not the Shinsengumi if we're not protecting Edo.
Kon: And whether the world ends or not,
Kon: it's not Odd Jobs if they're not raising hell in the Kabuki District.
Kon: Your resting place will find its own way to you at the end of your life.
Kon: Go live your life,
Kon: Odd Jobs.
Kon: Let's go!
Mut: How'd Earth look?
Sak: They're doin' well ta hold out. You could call it a miracle.
Sak: But given the difference in numbers, that won't last long.
Sak: Unless we stop this w*r while they're still hangin' in there,
Sak: there won't be any more miracles.
Shi: Do you have any ideas?
Shi: Actually, even if you did, it's too late now.
Shi: I've done a horrible thing to you earthlings.
Shi: Even though I agreed to a ceasefire with you,
Shi: I couldn't stop that man.
Nb: Admiral Shijaku? You're imprisoned, too?
Shi: The Liberation Army's flame of revenge has grown too large to stamp out.
Shi: It won't stop until it burns everything in its path.
Sak: If we can't stamp it out, we just gotta direct it elsewhere.
Sak: There's someone else we both must fight.
Shi: If you mean the Tendoshu, they're already...
Sak: Nah, there's still one.
Sak: And if we keep fightin' like this, not only will you not get your revenge,
Sak: you'll be helpin' him reach his goal of destroyin' Earth.
Shi: What do you people know?
Sak: Let's see...
Sak: We know that you're the only trustworthy man in the Liberation Army, at least.
Sak: Shijaku, if you truly care about the Liberation Army,
Sak: if you truly wish to give the universe its freedom back,
Sak: then help us.
Sak: It's not too late.
Shi: That's not the kind of line you say in a prison.
Shi: You people are now completely isolated from the rest of the universe—
Sak: You realized, huh?
Sak: We were prepared for everythin' once we were summoned here.
Sak: And we've already laid the groundwork.
Shi: Another squad?
Shi: You predicted that things could go south and split your squad into two beforehand?
Sak: A stealth ship, our Kaientai's pride and joy!
Sak: It must be approachin' this HQ by now.
Sak: Once I give the word, they'll come chargin' aboard.
Sak: It's time ta make our comeback, Zura.
Kat: I'm not Zura. I'm Inmate Number .
Sak: Oh, sorry. Wrong number.
Mut: What happened?
Sak: Radioed the wrong person.
Sak: That wasn't Zura. It was .
Kat: I'm not . I'm Katsura.
Sak: Wait, you're imprisoned, too?
Sak: Wait a second! Where the hell are you?
Sak: Didn't I tell you to take care of things if anything happened ta us?
Kat: Relax. We're another squad.
Kat: We were caught for a reason totally unrelated to yours.
Sak: That's how you differentiate yourselves?
Kat: The thing is, after we split up from you,
Kat: something unexpected happened while we were standing by.
Kat: Men, prepare to charge in at any time.
G: Whoa!
G: What's the matter?
G: Well, an enemy ship just passed right in front of us.
Kat: Fret not. They cannot see us.
Kat: This is a stealth ship, after all.
G: A-Are you sure they can't see us?
G: I feel like they've been circling us for a while.
Kat: You're overthinking it.
G: But Katsura-san, have you ever actually seen a stealth ship's exterior?
G: What do we look like from the outside?
G: And what is "stealth," anyway?
Kat: Stealth, well...
Kat: It must be see-through, or something.
Kat: Wait!
Kat: Even if the ship is see-through, we aren't!
Kat: Which means...
Kat: We're totally visible!
Sign: You're wrong, Katsura-san. This ship and all of us on it can't be seen from the outside.
Kat: O-Oh, okay. So everything is see-through, including us?
Kat: Wait!
Kat: Even if we are see-through, what we take in from the outside
Kat: and all of its residue...
Kat: It's totally visible!
Sign: You're wrong, Katsura-san. Stealth here refers to technology that conceals an object using camouflage which adapts to the surrounding scenery.
Kat: Oh, is that how it is? I see.
Kat: So even if our insides are visible,
Kat: this technology will make the ship adapt to that and hide us all.
Kat: It's totally visible after all!
Kat: Damn you, Sakamoto!
Kat: How dare you make us ride this piece of junk?!
Sign: Forget it.
Kat: Men, hurry up and camouflage yourselves!
Kat: Turn off the lights!
Kat: Hide your presence!
Kat: Become one with space!
Kat: You are nothing! Blend in with the space all around you!
Kat: You are a part of space, and space itself!
G: Uh, Katsura-san?
G: We can't see anything.
Kat: So yeah, we rammed into some ship thanks to your piece of junk.
Sak: You mean thanks to the junk you call a brain!
Kat: Before we knew it, we'd been surrounded and captured by some strange group.
Sak: Not the Liberation Army?
Kat: Yeah, not them.
Kat: They're a weird bunch with something indecent-looking growing from their foreheads.
Kat: You know what they said to us?
Kat: "We didn't capture you. We took you into our care."
Kat: This ship exists to safeguard the species of Earth from its demise...
Hata: Noah's Ark.
Jii: Truly.
Hata: Good job gathering all of these, Gramps.
Jii: Thank you.
Jii: We took advantage of the chaos of w*r and went around cattle mutilating everything.
Jii: That planet is doomed to destruction. Anyone who would complain is going to die, too.
Hata: Yes. If anything, they should be thanking me.
Hata: I'm saving these animals from extinction and even making them my pets.
Dog,Sign: Mongrel
Hata: But couldn't you take a more uniform sample? This is really lopsided.
Dog,Sign: Matsudaira Dog
Dog,Sign: Watanabe Dog
Jii: Dogs are a truly diverse species.
Dog,Sign: Shimura Dog
Hata: Oh, really?
Hata: And this one's dead!
Dog,Sign: Underdog
Jii: That's a loser underdog.
Jii: Believe it or not, it's actually alive.
Hata: Is that true?!
Jii: It can't protect its loved ones or die with them.
Jii: It's a creature that goes through life simply withering away.
Hata: I see. Such a pitiful creature.
Hata: But don't worry. I won't let you die.
Hata: Even if you suffer so much you want to die,
Hata: I won't let you die.
Hata: You're my dear pet.
Hata: Anyway, I heard you captured a new species?
Jii: Oh, it's over there.
Dog,Sign: Joi Rebill
Jii: It seems our men picked them up after our ship ran them over.
Hata: Joi Rebill?
Hata: Like a type of billed duck?
Hata: Hey, are you cleaning the cage?
Hata: All I can see is dung! The thing's nowhere to be found!
Jii: Ah, the old zoo cliché.
Jii: A cage where you can't see the animal, wait as you may,
Jii: and can only see its poop all over.
Hata: Look, forget about the cliché. Where's the Joi Rebill?
Jii: That's a zoo cliché, too.
Jii: You think it's poop, but it was actually a coiled-up Joi Rebill.
Hata: That's a Joi Rebill? Joi Rebills coil up?!
Jii: P-Prince!
Kat: You'd best be careful.
Kat: Joi Rebills adapt to their surroundings and hide their presence.
Kat: Do you know what that's called?
Kat: Stealth.
G: Unhand the prince!
Kat: An ark to safeguard the species?
Kat: Don't be such cheapskates.
Kat: Why not build an ark big enough to save the entire planet?
Hata: No, wait... Don't...
I'm... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm gonna...
Hata: I puked...

Jii: Believe it or not, it's actually alive.
Hata: Is that true?!
Jii: It can't protect its loved ones or die with them.
Jii: It's a creature that goes through life simply withering away.
Hata: I see. Such a pitiful creature.
Hata: But don't worry. I won't let you die.

Kat: Stealth.
G: Unhand the prince!
Kat: An ark to safeguard the species?
Kat: Don't be such cheapskates.
Kat: Why not build an ark big enough to save the entire planet?
Hata: No, wait... Don't...

Hata: I puked...
