Hed: Odd Jobs...
Hed: What are you doing there? I was worried sick, you know.
Hed: I couldn't believe what happened to Edo.
Hed: But I believed, because you all...
Hed: ...will be massacred by my hand!
Hed: You're about to experience true fear now.
Hed: Let me tell you about my terrifying plan.
Hed: It involves...
Hed: not just flowers or plants.
Hed: I want to watch over the flower called mankind that I found on this planet, too.
Hed: Basically, this planet was a flower bed built to be trampled by me.
Hed: I want to bloom with you all as one of this planet's flowers.
Gin: M-My hand's stuck!
Hed: And when the flowers reach full bloom, this planet will be a garden of peace—
Hed: D-Did you break that seal?!
Hed: It's all over! You humans are done for, and so am I!
Hed: And so is this universe!
Hed: It's all ove—
Sign: New Half Pub Grand Opening Chris Matsunosuke
Hed: That was close.
Hed: I'll be sure to repay this favor, humanity!
Hed: Not on my watch.
Hed: As long as I'm here, I won't let you do as you please, Hedora!
Hed: It's futile, Hedoro.
Hed: This body and this universe will be enveloped in total darkness soon!
Gin: H-He split into halves?
Hed: I'll protect both Earth and humanity.
Hed: I'll destroy both Earth and humanity.
Hed: I won't let you do as you please, Hedora!
Shin: What is even going on there?
Kag: I don't get it either,
Hed: It's futile, Hedoro.
Kag: but they look like they're having fun.
Kag: It's been a while since I've seen that kind of look on these people's faces.
Kag: I guess nothing beats peace after all.
Shin: Yeah, you're right.
Y: Now, it's our time to shine.
TextR: The joy is short-lived.
TextL: The Yato move out at twilight.
TextR: Even if it's for just one night,
TextL: enjoy the peace while it lasts.
Title: Silver Soul Arc
Title: Peace and Destruction Are Two Sides of the Same Coin
Oto: Never thought I'd see the day when the Kabuki District
Oto: would be lit up not by neon lights, but by moonlight and bonfires.
Jir: This town is noisy all year round. Nights like these ain't so bad once in a while.
Jir: If we can see the town bathed in the light of dawn next, it'll be perfect.
Jir: We did force them to retreat, but it ain't like we won.
Jir: If the enemy force regroups and att*cks again, we'll be defeated in a flash.
Oto: I didn't think I'd ever hear such meek words from you.
Oto: Living a long life has its benefits.
Jir: Did that sound meek to you?
Jir: I guess you've grown hard of hearing.
Oto: It's not such a bad thing.
Oto: The only ones who can complain and whine are those who have people they can rely on.
Oto: You've finally grown up, Jirocho.
Jir: Pah! I'd much rather be called a senile geezer than that!
Sai: What's this? You two used to constantly be at odds,
Sai: but you seem to be enjoying each other's company tonight.
Sai: Oh, am I interrupting?
Oto: Not at all, Saigo. I was just thinking I'd like to share a drink with you, too.
Oto: I'm actually a bit thankful we're in this situation, you know.
Oto: I feel like it has helped me like people a little more.
Oto: If it's a night like this, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if it turned out to be my last.
Jir: Nah. We haven't drank enough yet.
Kag: Everyone's so b*at-up.
Shin: That's no surprise.
Shin: It's a miracle that we even drove that huge army back.
Shin: It's not just the people of the Kabuki District.
Shin: Everyone in Edo did everything they could,
Shin: as best they could.
Shin: That's probably why this miracle came about.
Shin: All you've been doing is getting in the way!
Ged: Pandemoniums are snacks that help with injuries and illnesses.
Ged: Would you like one?
Shin: Seriously, who would eat something so grotesque?!
Pan: Sorry. Am I being a nuisance after all?
Pan: I was so worried, I ended up coming along.
Pan: I guess I've become a really troublesome woman.
Pan: Sorry. I'll go away now.
Shin: Yeah, you're a nuisance.
Shin: If you're going to disturb my heart any further, just be with me forever!
Kag: You're the biggest nuisance here.
Tae: Shin-chan, Kagura-chan.
Tae: Forget about the straight man routine and get some rest.
Kag: Boss lady.
Tae: Gedomaru-san and friends volunteered for various tasks so that we could all rest.
Tae: They said they're not that tired yet,
Tae: and that they want more screen time since they only showed up in the latter stages.
Shin: Don't leak out your real motive at the end!
Tae: Gedomaru-san and g*ng are tending to the wounded and serving food.
Shin: They're going to turn us into food!
Tae: Seimei-san and Doman-san are guarding and keeping watch on the town.
Sei: My watchmen are scarier!
Dom: What? My watchmen are scarier!
Shin: These watchmen need watchmen of their own!
Tae: Ketsuno Ana is providing assistance via prayers and exorcism.
Ket: Tomorrow's weather will be nice and clear.
Ket: The perfect day for w*r.
Shin: Don't try to start a w*r!
Tae: If this is the time for everyone to do what they're supposed to,
Tae: then what you guys must do right now is rest.
Tae: Forget about everything and get some sleep.
G: B-But I'm worried the enemy might return at any time.
Tae: Relax. We're here for you, so eat lots and sleep well.
Shin: Sis, they're not sleeping! You finished them off!
Ged: Let's put them to sleep with that and then stuff Pandemoniums in their mouths.
Tae: That sounds good, too.
Shin: Hey! Why are these hazards to humanity feeding everyone?!
Shin: Can anybody bring food that's actually edible?!
Pan: You finally spilled the beans.
Pan: In truth, I knew all along how you felt about me.
Pan: So I'll confess, too.
Pan: I really wanted you to eat me.
Pan: Bye-bye. I love you.
Shin: Bring me every single Pandemonium you've got, right this instant!
Kag: Shinpachi, you seriously need to get some rest.
Kon: Really? I'll take you up on that offer and rest, then.
Kon: I'm worn out from all the fighting.
Kon: I finally made it back...
Kon: Back to you.
Kon: I'm back, Otae-san.
Tae: W-Welcome back, Kondo-san.
Kon: Otae-san!
Tae: Kondo-san!
Tae: Who're you calling Otae?!
Kon: O-Otae-san? Y-You're being too intense!
Kon: N-No! We can't do this!
Shin: Let go of Pandemonium-san!
Tae: What's with that scene right out of hell?
Ged: It seems the Pandemonium's illusion ability worked a bit too well on them.
Hij: What's all this?
Hij: He was saying he had a real chance, with the world about to end and all,
Hij: but all of this is no different than it has always been.
Oki: What are you saying, Hijikata-san?
Oki: This is what Kondo-san wanted.
Oki: The same old routine.
Tae: Just when the world is about to end, you finally return home?
Tae: I see that cops will always be cops.
Hij: Unfortunately, saving the world isn't in the police's job description.
Hij: But we have tons of other work to do.
Sac: Pretty much.
Sac: Don't know or care about the world,
Sac: but it looks like we did at least protect our home.
Tae: Guys...
Tae: You did well.
Kag: Boss lady, you're talking to the wrong thing.
Oto: So basically,
Oto: the Liberation Army won't be back for revenge immediately?
Sign: Kabuki District Four Devas
Oto: You mean we'll be safe for a while?
Kon: They're isolated from their main force in space.
Kon: They've lost both their comms and their chain of command.
Kon: In this situation, it'll be difficult to regroup a force that already crumbled once.
Shinsengumi,Sign: Shinsengumi
Hij: They were att*cked by the bakufu army while on the run, and now they're scattered.
Hij: They don't have it in them to switch to att*ck.
Oki: If anything, this might be our chance to att*ck.
Oki: If we can rob them of their provisions,
Oki: we can watch the enemy crumble without having to fight.
Zen: You want us to make the first move?
Oniwaban,Sign: Oniwaban
Zen: If we corner that huge force any more, who knows how they'll respond?
Zen: Besides...
Zen: Those unconfirmed reports about another mercenary squad worry me, too.
Bim: This victory was practically a miracle,
Sign: Yagyuu Chinkage School
Bim: and we had to pay a heavy price for it.
Bim: If we want more, we'll have to be prepared to sacrifice a lot more, too.
Tsu: We didn't fight to win the w*r.
Tsu: We fought to stop it.
Sign: Yoshiwara Defense Force Hyakka
Tsu: If we willingly cause more casualties,
Tsu: wouldn't it be the same as siding with the Liberation Army?
Sei: Seizing an opportunity is akin to grasping a log floating down a river.
Onmyoji,Sign: Onmyoji Ketsuno Clan & Shirino Clan
Sei: Being cautious is all well and good,
Sei: but this might be our last sh*t at victory.
Ket: Brother, are you saying we must fight?
Sei: I'm saying that stopping a w*r needs more resolve than starting one.
Kon: Exactly. Let's fight.
Tsu: But you know...
Ged: How do you feel, Odd Jobs?
Ged: Which option do you think we should choose?
Odd,Sign: Odd Jobs
Kag: I say go with curry.
Shin: Nobody's asking about dinner, Kagura-chan.
Shin: Well, uh...
Shin: I don't understand the complicated stuff,
Shin: but I feel like if we're all together, we can work something out either way.
Shin: I'm not afraid of anything.
Shin: I'm just so overwhelmed that all of you are fighting alongside us.
Shin: I'm glad I was born in Edo, on Earth...
Shin: Oh, that's not what you were asking about, was it?
Shin: Sorry.
Gin: That's not true.
Gin: Compared to the fact that so many people have come together for one cause,
Gin: which method we choose is but a trivial matter.
Gin: Then we could just
Gin: try launching HEVA.
Sign: All-Purpose Demonoid Final Battle w*apon
Sign: Hevandorogon
Gin: What do you think, everyone?
Gin: We're ready.
Gin: We squeezed out a high synchro rate and are good to go whenever,
Gin: but we'd like Odd Jobs' opinion.
Shin: You're Odd Jobs, too.
Gin: Should we launch HEVA, or should it be on standby?
Gin: How do you feel about HEVA? Do you like it?
Shin: Why have our options been whittled down to HEVA alone?
Gin: What do you think, HEVA?
Gin: Hey, HEVA.
Gin: Um, Hedoro-san?
Hed: Who, me? Uh, I think it could work.
Shin: Um, it looks like even he doesn't know about HEVA.
Hij: I think it's too early. What about you, Kondo-san?
Kon: Well, yeah. I agree with you.
Sac: If he wants to go, just let him.
Tsu: Yes, I agree.
Hij: We'll leave it to you young'uns.
Oto: Do as you please, EVA.
G: Wasn't it HEVA, not EVA?
G: No, wasn't it NOVA?
G: What's HEVA, anyway?
Shin: Nobody knows?!
Gin: Oh, you didn't know?
Gin: I thought everyone knew.
Shin: Like hell they would! You haven't explained a thing!
Gin: Can't you tell at a glance?
Gin: Aside from the Liberation Army thing,
Gin: the world was nearly ended seven times by the Hedora inside Hedoro-san.
Gin: Isn't it obvious that it was all resolved by them turning into HEVA in the end?
Shin: Not even an ESPer could get that!
Gin: Long story short, I realized that we have no choice but to use this demon's power.
Gin: We turn humanity's greatest thr*at into its greatest savior
Gin: and hit the Liberation Army with it.
Gin: That's the All-Purpose Demonoid Final Battle w*apon, Hevandorogon.
Shin: What kind of preposterous monster have you created?!
Gin: Don't worry. Through trial and error,
Gin: I found the perfect way to use both the angel's and the demon's powers.
Gin: It can even play the straight man now.
Gin: Try playing the fool.
Shin: U-Uh, this is sudden. I'm the straight man, anyway.
Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!
Gin: If I use the right lever, like so,
Gin: the demon of destruction Hedora's personality will come to the forefront.
Gin: He's mainly in charge of jabs and opening stuck lids on jars of jam.
Shin: What are you using that demonic power for?!
Shin: He was aiming his jabs at humanity! He hasn't given up on destroying humanity!
Shin: Meanwhile, the left lever is for cleaning up the mess.
Hed: Shinpachi-kun, I'm sorry Hedora was violent with you.
Shin: H-Hedoro-san, thank you so...
Hed: Watch out! There's a ladybug!
Shin: Almost nothing's changed!
Shin: Looks like it was safe. Thank goodness.
Gin: I'll use the angel or demon, depending on the situation, and protect humanity.
Gin: That's the gist of the Human Instrumentality Project.
Shin: But I saw nothing but demon!
Shin: You sure this isn't the Ladybug Instrumentality Project?!
Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!
Shin: He returned my jab with a jab!
Gin: You spewed sorely mistaken nonsense. In other words, you played the fool.
Gin: Better watch your mouth, or I'll deem it a comedy act and jab at it.
Shin: This is bad! The demon's got another demon riding on top!
Kon: Stop it, Odd Jobs! It's too dangerous!
Kon: That thing's throwing jabs not at fools, but at humanity itself!
Kon: Eventually, its jabs will even hit you!
Gin: Even so, I have to keep throwing jabs
Gin: until the world drops this unfunny joke about ending.
Kon: In that case, knock me out before you go!
Gin: You're in the way. Move.
Kon: What's wrong? Come on, give me a jab!
Gin: I can't.
Gin: Because you're not a human.
Gin: You're an ape.
Kon: Knock me out.
Kon: Come on, knock me out.
Kon: Please knock me out!
Hed: Watch out! There's a cockroach!
Shin: How do you even respond to this?!
Tae: Demon? More like a god.
Tae: And that god is telling you to get some rest, for tonight at least.
Tae: So don't worry about it, Hedoro-san.
Tae: It's this moron's fault for toying with someone like they were a robot.
Hed: I'm terribly sorry.
Hed: In my eyes, both Sakata-san and cockroaches are equally my friends on Earth.
Tae: Jeez, cheer up!
Tae: This guy deserves to be treated worse than a cockroach!
Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!
Gin: He cheered up too much!
Gin: Quit messing with that branch under the pretext of offering an olive branch!
Shin: But you really should get some rest.
Shin: The w*r will continue tomorrow and thereafter, too.
Gin: Tell your sister that!
Shin: Thinking back, you've been fighting constantly for ages.
Shin: You always fight until you're a mess.
Shin: In truth, you must be really worn out, right?
Gin: I could say the same about you guys.
Gin: I ran you two into the ground, after all.
Gin: For unpaid interns, you did great work.
Gin: You did well to keep up with such a lowlife.
Gin: But, maybe because you were with such an unreliable adult,
Gin: you've both grown much stronger.
Tae: Looks like they've taken over the futon.
Tae: If they'd stayed up a little longer, they could've heard some rare words of praise.
Gin: I guess they still have a ways to go.
Gin: And so do I.
Oki: Hijikata-san, just when will we be able to rest?
Hij: If the world ends, we'll get more sleep than we'd ever want.
Hij: Enjoy the street life while you still can.
Oki: The only things you can enjoy in this pitch-dark world
Oki: are sleep and sex.
Oki: Did you know?
Oki: Every city that experiences a huge blackout has higher birthrates the next year.
Hij: That's what I'm looking for.
Oki: Huh? Someone to sleep with?
Hij: Hell no!
Hij: The man who went beyond blackout and broke every machine in Edo, Hiraga Gengai.
Hij: Without that virus cannon that stopped the enemy fleet and severed their comms,
Hij: we wouldn't be here right now.
Hij: But as things stand, we can't link up with the guys in space, either.
Sign: Sleep well and build up energy.
Hij: We'll have to get him to help us communicate in some way.
G: Old man Gengai? Haven't seen him in a while.
G: I think he was nearly caught by a mercenary squad, but managed to get away.
G: Dunno after that, though.
G: Gengai-san? Yeah, I ran away with him.
G: But partway, he said he had to answer nature's call,
G: and then he didn't come back...
G: Huh? Gengai?
G: He was hiding in the shadows over there and yelling for toilet paper.
Hij: Hear us out while you wipe.
Hij: We need a favor from you, Gengai.
Hij: Gengai?
Y: Gengai, was it?
Y: Surely you know why you're here.
Gen: Yeah. You want me to clean up the mess I caused, right?
Gen: Even as your allies were taken out,
Gen: you sat back and watched, so where is all this coming from now?
Y: We never intended on fighting alongside complete idiots.
Y: Gengai, stop that nanomachine virus.
G: Bad news! Old man Gengai!
Hij: Gengai has fallen into enemy hands!
Tsu: Huh? You say something?
Hij: No. Nothing at all.
Mat: This is one unpleasant night.
Mat: It's so quiet, it's almost creepy.
Mat: I guess bonus stages never last very long, huh?
Mat: I hope they're getting some rest while they still can.
Soyo: You can't sleep either,
Soyo: Nobume-san?
Nob: I can't sleep well after getting injured and being a burden.
Soyo: Sorry I caused you unnecessary concern.
Soyo: But don't worry about keeping watch.
Soyo: I have the bodyguard the Odd Jobs left with me.
Soyo: Oh, it's fine. Let him sleep.
Soyo: Sorry, I don't know how to play the straight man very well.
Soyo: Come to think of it, something similar happened before, didn't it?
Soyo: I threw a tantrum, saying I was too lonely to sleep,
Soyo: but I hadn't experienced truly lonely nights back then.
Nob: We, the Hitotsubashi Faction, are the ones who put you siblings through all this.
Nob: I really have no right to be by your side like this.
Soyo: Just as you know my pain,
Soyo: I know your pain, too.
Soyo: Isn't that enough, Nobume-san?
Soyo: Let's get through this night, the two of us togeth—
Nob: Princess, I don't really know how to play the straight man, either.
Nob: What?
NbNb: Come...
NbNb: Co... in.
NbNb: Come in.
Soyo: Were the comms restored?
NbNb: Somebody... Is anybody there?
NbNb: Respond.
Soyo: Hello. I'm Tokugawa Shigeshige's younger sister,
Soyo: Soyo.
Soyo: Nobunobu-sama...
Soyo: It's you, isn't it?
