D443969 GIN-CHAN

D4479¢; MN-CHAN Gintama finally makes it to the big screen!

It's been 5 long years since the 2005 Jump Festa Anime Tour.

We finally made it!

But the TV series already ended in March...

So it's kind of like a close-out sale.

Hey, don't put a damper on our big screen debut.

Why are the Warner Brothers making a samurai anime anyway?

Who are they?

Sunrise must be trying to expand overseas and approached them saying,

"This anime is a mega-hit in Japan!" or something like that.

Mr. War and Mr. Ner. Such pushovers...

Mr. War and Mr. Ner?! What kind of brothers are they?!

Aren't they like the So brothers?

They're not marathon runners!

More like the Yoshida brothers.

They don't play shamisen, either!

I'm out of responses. I'm speechless.

The screen's frozen, too.

That's right.

It's a Gintama specialty - Background only.

Stop making things up!

This is your cinematic debut, right?

If it's a hit, there may be a sequel. Or a series. An annual release!

You're way too laid back about this!

All right, all right. I'll get serious.

Okay. Roll it.

The land of the samurai.

There was a time, long ago,

when our country was called by that name.

Wait! Stop! when our country was called by that name.

Wait! Stop!

D4479¢; MN-CHAN Wait! Stop!

D443969 GIN-CHAN

D4479¢; MN-CHAN C'mon... Where are you starting from?

D443969 GIN-CHAN

D4479¢; MN-CHAN From the beginning, of course.

There are aliens called Amanto who've made a puppet of the Edo Shogunate...

There was the Expulsion War, where we tried to kick all foreigners out of Edo and...

There were the Loyalists Katsura and Takasugi who fought in that war, and...

There's Gin, who's actually the White Knight.

I think we get the idea.

Only hard-core fans who already know the premise will come anyway.

We're very selective.

So skip the niceties. We're wasting time.

I think this background-only is a waste of time. We haven't even introduced the Odd Jobs Gang.

So introduce the trio and get on with it.

The hero of this story and the owner of Odd Jobs Gin:

Gintoki Sakata

Gintoki Sakata

The heroine, and the bright flower of Odd Jobs, whose only drawback is her appetite:

Everyone's idol... the adorable Kagura!

Gintama Theatrical Production Committee

Everyone...

You will learn many things going forward.

Naturally, if you continue on this path, you will also face many obstacles.

What you do then, is totally up to you.

I don't know if I can always be there with you.

So I'm imparting these words to you now.

GINTAMR T1-IE BENIZAKUR4 ARC RE!-04$!-I

Excuse me.

Are you Mr. Kotaro Katsura?

You got the wrong guy.

Don't worry. I'm no police dog.

You're a dog all right. A rabid, blood-thirsty dog.

I heard there's a serial killer roaming the streets. You'd better watch whom you bite.

My partner and I have been hungry for a worthy opponent.

How about a swordfig ht?

That sword...

My my... That was easy...

Special Police Shinsengu mi Garrison

What? Takasugi...

Yeah... The information is good. It's from the police.

So Takasugi's still in Edo...

TakasugL"

He really whipped us the last time.

Because you took so damn long in the john!

Wait a minute...

Then logically speaking, you work way harder than me yet you're more useless than I am?

Shut up!

Cut it out, Toshi!

Shinsuke Takasugi's one of the most dangerous ronin out there.

Rumor has it that he's assembled Nizo Okada, master swordsman, a.k.a. Nizo the Killer.

Matako Kijima, gunslinger, a.k.a. Crimson Bullet.

Henpeita Takechi, the genius strategist...

and Bansai Kawakami, the mysterious samurai.

Takasugi resurrected the Kiheitai around these core members...

The Kiheitai?

You mean that troop led by Takasugi during the Expulsion War?

Yeah... They say they're like a pack of demons.

But what does he plan to do with the Kiheitai?

He assembled his strongest men to implement a coup d'etat.

Kondou, He's a dangerous man.

I see...

Toshi, gather all the information that you can.

Okay -

And Kondou...

Do you really have to train naked?

More trouble!

Another murder!

What's all the fuss?

They found another body.

Another? How many victims so far?

They say he only kills ronin. We don't dare go out at night!

I guess that means we're stuck with our wives for awhile.

ODD JOBS CHM-CHAN SNACK OTOSE

Your tea.

And the purpose of your visit?

What's with this? Why is she silent?

She's scaring me!

Is she mad? Did I do something wrong?

Mad? It looks like she's smiling.

Shinpachi, it must be your tea.

I bet she prefers coffee. You should be able to tell by now.

That's why you'll always be second rate.

How was I supposed to know?

You can tell by her mouth.

It looks like a coffee bean.

You lack the power of observation!

Your coffee.

Hey! She still looks mad!

Ow! Hey! She still looks mad!

You're the one who said coffee bean!

No, I said a side view of a hamburger.

Give me a break!

Why should I be intimidated in my own home?

It's her eyes. They're mesmerizing.

Hm? Yes, Odd Jobs.

Shinpachi, it's our last resort. Go get it.

Huh? But Gin will kill us if we use it.

Never mind. He needs to be weaned off it anyway.

He's an orphan.

We have a duty to raise him well.

I'm going out for a while.

Where are you going?!

To work! I'll leave the customer to you.

Liar! You're just running away!

Your strawberry milk.

Elizabeth, samurai eat only pure, simple foods.

If you go on consuming things like strawberry milk and ice cream

not only your body, but also your soul will deteriorate.

EXCUSE ME, IT'S ODD JOBS!

What do you want?!

I'M FROM ODD JOBS! YOU CALLED!

We don't want no newspaper!

Stupid idiot shithead can't hear me.

Oh, sorry about that!

I was working so hard, my hands were slippery with sweat!

No problem.

He heard me...

I forgot to tell you!

My sister and I are swordsmiths! I'm Tetsuya, and this is...

Introduce yourself, Tetsuko!

Or else Mr. Sakata won't know what to call you, Tetsuko!

You already said her name. Loud and clear.

Please excuse her! She's such a shy little thing!

It must be hard times for you with the Sword Ban!

So! I have a job for you!

Hey, did he not hear me?

A special sword made by my father has been stolen! He called it Benizakura!

Really, now?! What in the world is this Benizakura?!

I would like you to find it for me!

Did he not hear me again?

The sword was forged by my father, the greatest swordsmith in Edo!

It was his masterpiece!

It could cut through rock and had a pale, pink sheen!

It was beautiful, like cherry blossoms at night!

There will never be another like it!

I'm moved!

Do you have any idea who took it?

It wasn't meant for human hands!

Mister! Talk like a normal person!

Can't you hear me? Look at me!

My father died suddenly one month after forging Benizakura.

Ever since, terrible things have befallen those who wield it!

It's a cursed blade that sucks the soul out of you!

Give me a break, will you?

That means something bad's gonna happen to me!

Mr. Sakata!

Please retrieve Benizakura before calamity strikes again!

Listen! You haven't responded to a single thing I said!

When you talk to him...

...you have to go closer and yell in his ear.

Really?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

SHUT UP!

So you found this here? This bloody wallet?

And you haven't seen Katsura in a while?

Why didn't you tell us earlier, Elizabeth?

You may have heard abouf flre serial killings in Edo...

Elizabeth, you know very well that Katsura would never let some random killer touch him.

But clearly, something happened to him.

We'd better find out quickly, or else.

Katsura...

H may be foo Iafe...

IDIOT!

If you don't believe in him, who will?!

When you fell into the hands of that no-good magistrate...

Katsura didn't give up until he rescued you!

What can you do in return, Elizabeth?!

What can you do for Katsura?! Say it! Say it!

That hurt, dammit...

Let go or I'll turn you into mincemeat.

Sorry!

Shinpachi... I'll go with Sadaharu to look for him.

Go with Ellie and find out about this killer!

Sorry to bother you.

No luck here.

I was sure it would be pawned. I guess they're not after money.

Looking for something... Mister?

I'm working. Working. None of your business. Beat it.

Sorry to bother you, then.

There's a serial killer running around.

None of his victims have survived, but there has been one eyewitness.

They say the sword he carried...

...it was like a living creature.

Wh-where did you...

Word gets around, huh?

Lord Bansai, the doors are opening soon.

Lord Bansai, they're opening now!

The doors are opening.

I heard you.

Safe travels.

Yeah.

So... will these fools be charmed by my eloquence?

A once in a lifetime production.

Who's that, Abuto?

Just some country bumpkin. Called "samurai", something or other.

So, there are still some interesting characters out there...

What? Don't start that again.

We're going.

Don't even think about messing with our customers.

I wouldn't dream of it.

They were out of your croquette bun, so I bought the nearest thing. Sorry!

I still think it's absurd... asking the killer directly about Katsura.

We don't even know if he's the right guy.

Haven't you guys heard? There's been some serial...

There's a serial killer on the loose.

Elizabeth!

I come all the way out here looking for that cursed sword and who do I run into?

G-Gin!

It's you... I knew I smelled something familiar.

Nizo the Killer!

Are you the serial killer?

And Gin... what are you doing here?

I guess we both have business with Nizo, don't we Shinpachi?

I'm touched. You came all this way for me?

I heard this sword invites misfortune, but it seems to attract warriors.

It led me to Katsura and now you... It must be a lucky sword for me.

What did you do with Katsura?!

Oh, was he your friend? Sorry to hear that.

I just got my hands on this new sword. I had to try it out on someone.

Zura would never be killed by some low-life like you.

I said I was sorry... Oh, yes.

I'll give you a keepsake.

I took his topknot, but I'm sure he'd prefer you to have it.

Is Katsura really a man? His hair is so silky. Just like a girl.

Don't make me say it again.

Zura would never be killed by some low-life like you.

I'm no match for him, I know. But it wasn't me that killed him.

It just used my body. Right, Benizakura?

What...?

It's totally dark.

We'd better head back. Gin-chan will be worried.

Maybe not.

Zura will be all right. He's a tough cookie.

We'll call it a day and try again tomorrow...

Sadaharu...?

Sadaharu? Do you smell Zura?

What's that ship?

Hey...

Did you find him?

Nizo must be at it again. He laid low for a while after that ronin got him.

But he's dangerous.

He was just bragging that he took down some guy called Katsura...

If anyone finds out about the sword...

Sadaharu, you take this to Gin-chan, okay?

Don't dilly dally. Even if you see a cute doggie, no humping!

Here I go.

I thought you were stronger than this.

Funny... is that really a katana?

They said that katana was like a living creature... You gotta be kidding.

But that's no living creature.

It's a monster!

Gin!

A fight...

...is not fought by sword alone!

What?

This is no fight!

It's a death match.

Gin!

Uh oh... I'm in trouble.

No... No...

Gin...

Gin... Gin...

Gin!

Do you regret it? Not killing me off when you had the chance?

If you had, you and Katsura might still be alive.

The consequence for half-heartedness. White Knight...

He must be so disappointed.

His comrades all gathered here, but for what?

Weak samurai like you destroyed our nation.

If it were me by his side, this would have never happened!

Principles? Ethics?

What does a samurai need of that nonsense?

All a samurai needs is a sword.

And yours is broken. You're no longer a samurai.

And you are no longer needed here. You can just vanish from this nation.

My sword is broken?

I have another one that I've been saving.

Oh!

You cut off my arm. You're such a bully.

I'll take your left arm, too!

What's going on down there?

Tch. We have some company.

Time out for now. We'll resume later.

Wait!

Gin! Are you all right?

Shinpachi, I knew you'd come through in the end.

Gin?

GIN!

Do you work on this ship?

How about a tour?

Or would you prefer a bullet through the head?

Hey! Are you listening?

The Moon is huge tonight.

I thought Princess Kaguya would appear tonight but I got a tomboy instead.

Who the hell are you?

How dare you attack Lord Shinsuke!

Put down your gun! You can't outdraw Matako Kijima!

Hmph. Matako, I can see your dirty panties from here.

You think you can trick me?

I change my underwear every day!

No, I swear, they're stained. They're full of stains!

How dare you insult me in front of Lord Shinsuke!

Lord Shinsuke! I promise, I change them every day!

Shit! Takechi-senpai, she went that way!

Hands off, everyone.

Samurai don't kill women or children. We capture them alive.

Takechi-senpai! Get over your Lolita fetish!

She's an intruder. Don't let her get away!

Lolita? No, feminist.

Enemy or not, a feminist is always kind to women...

Who is this little brat?

She's a whippersnapper!

Zura! Where are you?

I know you're here! Answer me!

Now! Hold her down!

Zura! I'm coming for you!

I can't believe it...

She's heading for the factory!

What the...?

Now that you've seen it, I have to kill you.

You use the sword only out of your fear of others. Put it down.

It is not to kill the enemy, but to carve away weakness.

It is not to defend yourself, but to protect your soul.

Gintoki.

Can't you hear him? I can.

Because... I still have a black beast writhing within me!

I have to persevere until the beast is dead!

You woke up. Thank goodness.

You were so still, I thought you were dead.

Are you conscious now? Do you know who I am?

A girl who's as flat as a board?

What are you doing here?

Shin-chan asked me to take care of you.

Why are you carrying a naginata, then?

Shin-chan asked me to make sure you got your rest and stop you if you tried to leave.

Stop me? As in kill me?

Where's Shinpachi and Kagura?

They're... out on an errand.

What errand?

Never mind. You need some rest. Let's read JUMP comics.

You...

I told you not to move.

What if your wound opens up?

Elizabeth... Is that Katsura's...

No+ anoiher word.

Kagura's not back yet.

Only Sadaharu came back this morning with this paper...

It got wet in the rain, but it looks like a map.

I haven't told Gin.

If he found out, he would go despite his condition.

Where are you going?

Ow ow ow ow! Where are you going?

To take a piss.

You can do it in here.

Can I help you?

Ah, uhm...

Ah.. If you need Gin, he's...

I'm right here. Come in.

I was expecting you.

You really took a beating.

First, you take Benizakura without asking.

Then you dare to show up with your tail between your legs?

I hope you're ready to take responsibility and slit your belly, Okada.

I brought it back, despite my arm. Give me some credit.

It was a good experience for Benizakura.

Your egotism is getting out of hand.

You always seem to find a way to irritate Lord Shinsuke.

Think you're tough? Don't make me laugh.

The only reason you beat Katsura is because...

Don't take this personally...

It's encroaching on my body, like it owns me or something.

You'd better watch what you say to me.

044 Jobs CW-CHAN

Odd Jot; GIN-Ci-MN You came to tell me the truth, right?

You came to tell me the truth, right?

You can't fool me with talk about some cursed sword...

What is that thing?

Who created that monster?

Okada... you...

They're a nuisance.

We're here to wreak havoc in this wasteland... To become a legend.

But they're always glimmering behind me.

So irritating.

It's time for old legends to wither and make way for the new!

They're not his comrades anymore.

We are.

Benizakura is a mechanical anti-warship mobile weapon modeled after my father's sword.

Using artificial intelligence it lives in its host, eventually taking it over.

It compiles actual combat data and continually upgrades its capabilities.

A living katana.

There's only one person in Edo who could create such a thing...

Please... stop my brother.

They... Takasugi... will use it to burn Edo down to the ground.

How capricious.

Creating such a weapon in an age of cannons and guns.

And scheming to overthrow the Shogunate at that!

Talk is cheap. A hero always delivers.

I never talk unless I can deliver.

Let's show them that samurai and swords are still alive and kicking.

I don't care about your aspirations.

I'm a swordsmith!

The only thing I know is...

This sword is invincible!

So at the end of the day, your brother just used me.

He asked me to find the sword, so it could taste my blood.

Or did Nizo put him up to it? Or both?

And now you want me to help your brother?

Your skin must be as thick as a volume of JUMP.

I have no excuse.

But if the truth comes out, he'll be destroyed.

You must really love him. He's an accomplice to murder yet you look the other way?

Gin!

My beloved father used to say...

A sword is but a blade that kills.

I can invest my soul into it, but I can't choose its master.

These words have become a part of us.

My brother is just a fool who knows nothing else.

Always forging steel, trying to surpass our father.

He even sought financiers to start researching mechanical weapons.

That's when he got involved with some dodgy people.

But I didn't stop him...

We just focused on sword making. I told myself, that was our job.

But I knew. It was a weapon... A tool to kill people.

But... I can't bear it.

I can't bear to see my brother's masterwork being used in such a destructive way...

But it's come to the point where I can't stop it on my own.

I don't know what to do... What should I do?

I'm the one who doesn't know what to do...

I'm injured...

My comrade's been killed...

My mind is spinning.

Here... I don't want your money.

Go home. I'm through with this.

Gin is out of commission. It's up to me, now.

I know Kagura-chan is on that boat.

But how do I sneak on?

There are ronin everywhere and they don't look too friendly.

What do I do?

Oh my god, what is that?!

Ow... That damned Nizo. Who does he think he is?

Let me go!

You think you're going to get away with this?!

Calm down!

Gin-chan is going to mess you up!

Hey, cut it out!

They're already messed up.

She's just a kid!

We shoulda gotten rid of her a long time ago.

But we don't have any information yet.

And these girls really do blossom in another two, three years...

Get a hold of yourself, lolicon!

I'm not a Iolicon.

I'm a feminist.

Look, her wounds have all but healed overnight.

And her superhuman strength. Her translucent skin...

I've heard enough.

I'm telling you, I'm a feminist!

I just love children.

Exactly, you lolicon!

You'll never understand, you idiot.

Who's an idiot?

That's what I'm saying.

Her characteristics match those of the Yato Clan. So, die.

You die.

Yato Clan? You mean those mercenaries?

Those hired assassins that attacked Lord Shinsuke?

Who's behind it?

All she'll say is Zura.

She's toying with you.

You Iolicon feminist, whatever. You gross me out.

Watch how it's done. All it takes is...

Hey...

Do you realize what you've done? I'll kill you!

No, wait! In two or three years, she'll blossom...

Let go of me, you freak!

I'm your superior, not a freak!

Who are you?

He looks sketchy.

I've never seen anyone so sketchy.

He's the picture of sketchiness.

Listen... I don't know who you think you are... but you'd better turn around!

What is she doing? Watch out! Listen... I don't know who you think you are... but you'd better turn around!

Excuse me. I need some direcfions.

To the gates of HELL!

God of Phlegm, give me power.

That's disgusting. Stop that!

EAT THIS!

What?

What the hell?

What are you doing?

Intruder! Intruder!

Elizabeth!

GO!

Thanks, Elizabeth!

I'm relieved.

I thought you'd go, even in your condition.

But then, you'd die.

I guess.

I feel bad for that girl, but it can't be helped.

I guess...

Gin?

Don't do anything unnecessary. Take better care of yourself.

Shin-chan and Kagura-chan would be lost without you.

I guess...

You were pretty wild in your day, but you're getting older now.

Let it go already!

I said I'm not going anywhere, so go buy me the latest issue of JUMP!

You got the wrong one the last time. You're just like my mom, dammit!

Okay, okay. Sorry.

Sorry.

Watch it!

Sorry. Wah' for me on' your house. Odd Jobs

I know I'm getting too old for this.

MY Favorite umbrella. Make sure you bring it back.

She's such a pain.

He's such an idiot.

What's all that noise?

The Shinsengumi? Are the police dogs onto us?

No!

What is that?

Takasugi!

You share our mission to protect our land from foreigners

yet you killed our leader, Kotaro Katsura!

It's unforgivablel

We're no longer comrades!

You've crossed the line!

Suffer the wrath of God!

FIRE!

What'? Ka'tsura's comrades'?

We'll set out immediately!

Payback time for Katsura?

It's all Nizo's fault, that dog.

Payback or not, I think the truth about Benizakura is out.

I've heard that Katsura's clan has become more moderate lately.

They want to destroy Benizakura and quash our uprising.

Perhaps so... Or maybe this girl is one of them and this attack is merely a diversion.

Listen up!

We know what you're after!

It's this girl.

I understand you want to save her, but if you keep shooting, she might get...

Takechi! Do you call that moderate?!

How unexpected. Well, at least they missed.

It's your brain that's missing!

Are you stupid? I have nothing to do with them!

Ooh hoo hoo! How embarrassing!

Do you realize what a precarious situation you're in?

Not again!

So irresponsible!

Useless, as usual.

I'm here, Kagura-chan!

Shinpachi!

Hey.

Sorry to walk in on you.

Your customers are here.

You really had a field day.

Now I have to deal with these fools before we overthrow the Shogunate.

So you killed Katsura.

And you fought Gintoki.

You even used Tetsuya.

And what do you have to show for it?

Tetsuya must be ecstatic. All he cares about is his creation.

What about you?

Are you sad that your old comrade is dead? Or...

Well, now...

You've grown back a nice arm.

You two must be compatible. In like skin as they say.

Go finish them off.

Destroy them all and I'll forgive the rest.

It would have ended like this anyway.

And...

Don't ever call us comrades again.

Our bond is much stronger than that, them and me.

The next time you say it, I'll cut that thing off.

You really meant to kill me.

Who are you? Answer me!

Matako! I think you should focus on running. Or else you'll end up like...

I can't carry you anymore! I know I came to save you, but help!

You can do it, Shinpachi!

How can you be so carefree?

Shinpachi, I came here looking for Zura, but I couldn't find him.

What happened to him? What about Gin-chan? Where is he?

Shinpachi.

Shinpachi!

Kagura-Chan'.!

What is that?

Shoot it!... Shoot it down!

Hey...

Happy to bring down such small fry?

I'll bring you all down!

If you're bent on destruction, why not join us?

With a single sword?

Shinpachi!

Elizabeth! You came all this way!

H's a long sforg.

ELIZABETH!

When did this become a costume party? This is no place for kiddies.

I'm no kid...

'm Katsura.!

Go, Benizakura!

I'll bring you all down, with this!

Why? At a time like this...?

Hey, it's already started. It'll be over before we get there.

One blow from Benizakura is equivalent to ten battleships.

They won't be able to stop it.

That's too big to fathom. Give me a more relevant example.

A mom with boobs with the power of 1,000 missiles.

That's no ordinary mom!

Use this...

Huh? What's this?

I made it. You can't use a wooden sword against Benizakura.

Thanks, but what's this ornament on the handle? Dog poo-

What the hell are you doing?

It's not what you think. It's a coiled dragon!

You said "it's not what you think" before I even said anything!

That's proof that you know that it looks like dog poop!

Elizabeth!

The ship is ready!

Are we really going?

Two ships have already gone down! And we don't even have heavy weapons.

What kind of crazy weapons do they have?

We have

Face Katsura? But he's already...

I feel something s-lrangelg familiar on -lha-I ship.

Elizabeth, could it be?

No, it can't be!

Let's get on the boat!

Elizabeth has a sixth sense.

Just the other day at the track...

Lord Shinsuke! Lord Shinsuke.

Fancy meeting you here.

No... Katsura!

I couldn't leave this world just yet. So I came back.

I couldn't die, especially at the hand of an old comrade.

Don't you agree, Takasugi?

Comrade, huh...

I didn't know you still felt that way... Thanks, but no thanks.

So you still kept it?

We're both old fools.

Heh. So, it protected you from Benizakura too? I guess memories are good for something.

No, I owe it to that useless Nizo.

He got so excited, he didn't even bother to check.

All he cut was my topknot.

I guess you've gotten good at playing dead.

So did you come back for revenge? You think I was behind it?

I don't care if you told him to do it or not.

But I can't let you get away with what you're planning to do.

Your ambitions are going down with this ship.

What's happening?

Kats u ra !

Don't think you'll get out of here alive!

Not until I see the dawn of Edo with my own eyes.

Edo would not be pleased to be roused from her sleep by the likes of you!

Go to sleep, forever!

You go to sleep!

You worried us sick!

You were in Elizabeth all this time!

Give me a break!

How long have you been in her? How long have you duped us?

Can't we deal with this later? Look! They're poised to attack!

Shut up! I'm poised to attack, too!

Calm down. I'm sorry I didn't explain.

I thought it was just me they were after.

I thought it would be easier to spy on them if everyone thought I was dead.

I didn't mean to drag you all into my personal problems.

But why Elizabeth?

We can't even get close...

What are you doing?

What...?

It's coming this way...

The ship barged its way in!

Rrraargh!

Takasugi! You won't have your way!

I'll kill all of them!

Elizabeth...? Everyone...

I/I/e cou/dn 'f _/'us-f sif fhe/-9.' Elizabeth...? Everyone...

We oouldn'f jusf sh' fhere!

I/I/e cou/dn 'f _/'us-f sif fhe/-9.' Forgive us, Katsura!

I/I/e cou/dn 'f _/'us-f sif fhe/-9.' You told us not to mobilize no matter what!

But we heard you were in trouble. We couldn't just sit there! We couldn't help ourselves!

How can I get mad at you? Look at your faces.

C'mon! Bring if!

C"/non.' Bring if.' I'm the one who owes you an apology. I left you in the dark.

I'm the one who owes you an apology. I left you in the dark.

You wanted to save your old comrade Takasugi

so you kept it quiet and tried to convince him yourself.

But unwittingly.

We created such an uproar that the rift between you and Takasugi's clan is now irreparable.

Enough!

It would have come to this anyway.

We have if covered. You can go.

There's still iime.

Elizabeth...

Be sure you come back ibis fime.

Thanks.

No way!

Move it!

You guys?

We came this far. We're with you all the way.

Damn you, Zura! You owe us dinner!

You

I won't let you get near Lord Shinsuke.

I'm a feminist, but you're testing my limits.

You've ruined all our plans. That gets me really angry, dammit!

Tch.

One year's worth of pickled seaweed and the DVD set of my choice.

And food for Sadaharu.

Tsuu-Chan's new album and glossy photo collection.

And 100 Baagen Dash ice cream cups.

No, make that 1,000.

No fair! Ten years worth of pickled seaweed!

What the heck?

Go, you idiot!

If anything happened to you, I could never face Gintoki!

Are you kidding?

Just show him your ridiculous haircut and give him a laugh!

I don't understand... Who are you?

You're not ronin or Katsura's subordinates. You're certainly not on our side.

Who the hell are you? What do you want?

Who do you answer to?

The stupidest samurai in the universe!

This light...

I knew some fools had barged in while I was hard at work.

But I didn't expect you, too!

Did you come to loot the place?

What can you do in your condition?

Are you too far gone to realize what you're doing?

You don't look so good either.

You look pale. Have a stomachache? Hmm?

You're the one with a stomachache!

What's wrong? Bleeding?

What's wrong? You're bleeding.

Look Zura, Gintoki is here.

He's going to take on Benizakura.

Ridiculous as usual. It's like taking on a warship with your bare hands.

It's not human.

His body can't keep up with Benizakura.

He's going to die... You knew that, didn't you?

You knew what Benizakura would do to him. Wasn't he your friend? Don't you care?

He made his own choice.

I'm sure he's happy to die.

Happy?

That's right!

He wanted to become one with the sword to protect the flame called Takasugi!

He'd rather go up in flames than be plunged into darkness again!

He has no qualms about it growing within him!

He's blinded by the light and can see little else!

What a pitiful fool!

But there's beauty there beyond good or bad!

Like the singular arc of a sword, there is beauty!

A sword kills. A swordsmith forges. What does a samurai do?

In any case, devotion to a singular purpose is both beautiful and powerful. Like this.

They're simple guys, but I love them.

There's only a single path in front of me, too. I don't care who dies along the way.

Where's the beauty? Is that what you wanted?

Stop it.

I can't stand to see your katana cause more bloodshed!

Then why did you bring that man here?

You brought him here to die, didn't you?

Do you think that dull sword of yours stands a chance against my Benizakura?

What?!

Impossible!

Is he a match for Benizakura?

Could he be... surpassing it?

Impossible!

I know Benizakura is wasting Nizo away,

but the sword itself should be growing stronger with all the data.

It can't be...

That man... Could he be evolving faster than Benizakura?

Or...!

Did the life or death confrontation awaken memories of battle that lay dormant inside him?

Is this the power of the White Knight?

It won't go out.

No matter what I do. The damned light won't go out.

Hmm.. I see you've mastered the art of kenjutsu but this is your first true swordfight, isn't it?

You're shaking.

This is a phantom sword that's intoxicatingly strong...

I wouldn't push it if I were you.

By the way, my sword is named Shimura, like the comedian.

You know how he shakes in his skits?

You know that joke too?!

I'm more of the intellectual type. I leave these physical matters to this female boar here.

Who's a boar?! Shall I blast one into that sorry ass of yours?

Guts and glory in battle! Kill or be killed!

Gotcha!

You couldn't beat me in a hundred years, little girl!

Gin!

Gin-chan!

What is this?

Nizo?

I told you, I'm not the physical type.

Senpafl

Nizo! Have you gone mad?

Has Benizakura taken over? I had a bad feeling about this.

Stop, Nizo!

It's completely taken over!

Nizo has lost himself to it. He's become the sword itself!

Even the White Knight won't be able to stop him now!

This is the true power of Benizakura - the ultimate sword!

Only a man with a singular purpose who has forsaken all else can wield it!

You're all weighted down by the superfluous!

Gin!

Gin-chan!

The damned light won't go out!

IT WON'T GO OUT!

Tets u ko !

No more! No more killing!

I won't let another soul be killed by that sword!

Let the fluffy girl go...

...you giant!

Why? Why? Tetsuko?

Why don't you try to understand?

I gave my all to Benizakura!

I sacrificed my conscience and all moderation!

It's who I am!

Without it, I'm nothing!

We lost an ingenious craftsman. There will never be another one like him.

I heard he had a son. What about him?

He's no good.

If his dad hadn't been so gifted, it wouldn't have been so hard for him.

He could have been happy just making a living of it.

From that day...

Tetsuko, your skills are still lacking but you have something Tetsuya doesn't.

I hope he understands one day.

I spent my whole life trying to surpass my father!

I gave up everything just to make swords. I don't need anything else!

That's all I have! That's all there is left!

Brother!

Gin! Gin-Chan!

Brother! Hang on! My brother!

Brother...

I see now.

I thought I'd given up all that was superfluous...

I decided to live not as a man, but as a swordsmith.

But at the end of the day, I couldn't give you up...

I guess my commitment wasn't strong enough. How could I expect to forge the ultimate sword?

She's not superfluous.

Nothing's superfluous.

Sacrifice everything for the craft? Is that a true craftsman?

Stop kidding yourself. You just didn't want to bother.

You don't have the guts to take responsibility for anything.

You're no master craftsman.

Watch how powerful superfluous can be.

This sword your sister forged is pure heart and soul. Burn that into your retina.

Gin! No!

Gin-chan!

A sword is but a blade that kills... That won't change no matter what we do.

But that doesn't mean we should abandon our craft.

We need to earn a living. No, that's not all.

We're in the weapons business.

That's why you have to keep forging.

Not steel, but your soul.

Forge your soul while you forge the steel.

Be a kind, honest man. Live with integrity.

If you better yourselves, you'll attract people who'll make good swords.

What kind of sword do you want to forge?

A sword that protects...

Hmm? I can't hear you.

A sword that protects.

It's too bright for me...

A sword that protects, huh? Typical of you.

I guess... I'm still a novice yet.

Become a good swordsmith, Tetsuko...

I can't hear you...

You have to... yell like you always do...

I can't hear you!

Takasugi, I've never liked you. And I still don't.

But I consider you a comrade. Even now.

When did our paths diverge?

Hmph. What are you saying?

We may have started off in the same place...

But even back then, we never shared the same goals.

All doing our own things.

All watching each other grow apart.

I haven't changed one bit.

I'm still striving towards the same goal. I...

How's -lha-I?!

Elizabeth, this is it.

Rea//g? Elizabeth, this is it.

Really?

What's that battleship?

Allied forces?

No... that flag...

What are they doing here?

It's the Harusame Space Pirates!

Zura...

You guys took up the sword for your country, your comrades,

but I didn't give a crap about that.

Think about it. Who taught us how to use the sword?

The samurai code? The survival skills? Who taught us all of that?

Who gave us a world to live in? None other than... Master Shouyou.

An yet, this world robbed us of him.

What can I do but declare war on it and destroy the world that took him from us?

Zura, what do you have to live for?

How can we live in a world that deprived us of our master?

I can't stand it!

Takasugi... You have no idea how often I've wanted to destroy this Earth.

But he... he's bearing it.

The one... who should hate this world more than anybody.

What can we do?

I can't destroy this land. There's too much here... that I love.

I see you as someone who has lost his chance to set things right.

You've become a beast that simply destroys for the pleasure of it.

If you hate this land so much, go ahead and destroy it.

But I can't stand by and watch you destroy the people of Edo too.

There must be a way to change this country without so much bloodshed.

I'm sure Master Shouyou...

It's Katsura.

It's really Katsura.

Butt out. He's mine.

The Amanto?

Zura, I heard about you.

You fought against the Harusame, with your buddy Gintoki.

I was thinking of hooking up with them anyway.

How convenient. I'll just hand them your head.

Takasugi!

I told you...

All I want to do is destroy this rotting world.

What are the Harusame doing here?

How should I know?!

How should I know?!

Lord Bansai...

We were promised the heads of Katsura and Gintoki.

Lord Bansai? Are you listening to me?

I'm listening.

They're the hottest band in Edo...

Pay attention! Who is this fool? Why did they send him?

Don't worry. They're small fry. Friends of Katsura.

It'll be over soon.

Out of our way!

Odd Jobs Gin-chan is coming!

You're so full of energy.

That...

It's that samurai.

Move it. I'm not in a very good mood.

Kats u ra !

Yo, Zura... What's with the hair? Got your heart broken?

Shut up. I needed a change.

And what about you? Were you hit by a bomb?

Shut up. I needed a change, too.

What kind of change?

Katsura! Tell us what to do!

Retreat.

Benizakura is finished. It's worthless now.

We have to make an escape. Hurry!

You won't get away!

Kill them! Kill them all!

We've got it covered.

Go!

But...

Gin! But...

Let go, Ellie! Gin-Chan!

Go! I want their heads!

Don't retreat! Push forward!

So that's Gintoki Sakata and Kotaro Katsura.

They're strong. Worthy of a death match with me.

Gintoki!

Yeah?

Change is never easy in this world!

I can't even change one friend, let alone a country!

Zura! I didn't know you had friends! Are you sure about that?

Shall I cut you into shreds?

Gintoki!

Yeah?

Don't ever change!

Killing you would take too much effort!

Zura... If you change, I'll be the first to kill your ass!

Takasugi!

That's how it is.

The next time we meet, we're no longer comrades!

I'll take you down!

So you'd better hope you don't bump into me in town!

See ya!

Don't let them get away! Shoot!

You're so prepared. What are you, Lupin?

Not Lupin! I'm Zura!

No, I mean Katsura!

This isn't the first time I've evaded the Shinsengumi.

But who would have thought that he'd still have this?

We all started in the same place...

But... We've drifted so far apart...

Gintoki... do you still have it?

No.

I spilled ramen on it.

Shi seru kaiwa no hajimari wo kimi to kyokan shitai I want to share the beginning of the dying conversation

Coming Next Spring

Wait a minute! I haven't heard about this!

We're not even in it!

Gintama without Odd Jobs?

This is bogus! Who would do such a thing?

Us.

Sorry, but the Shinsengumi will star in the sequel.

So you're the ones trying to fool the fans with a bogus trailer!

But we've been fooling them all along, too.

Why would you do such a thing?

Because...

We looked like idiots! Did you see us in the Benizakura Arc?

We look like a bunch of fools!

We got wind of Takasugi's plan, but it was all over before we got there!

We shouldn't have even appeared!

And if we make the sequel, it won't be bogus.

That's right.

I won't accept a Gintama without Gin!

Me, either!

Move it! Otose coming through!

I was on the poster, so I wondered when I was going to appear,

and there I was at the end, this small with no lines.

Some fans like grannies and cat-eared ladies, too!

I think very few.

So the sequel will be called:

Catch My Heart, Kitty Cat.

Hold it right there! Who's going to go see a movie like that?

I certainly won't!

Sacchan!

It looked like Otae was your leading lady!

I'm your leading lady! We have a sticky relationship, remember?

Sorry about that.

Sis?

You can do whatever you want with that kinky-haired fool,

but I'm the heroine of the sequel.

And of course, your leading man is...

Don't think you're hot just because you got a tiny part...

I'm the next heroine!

KYLI-Chan?

If Otae-chan is the heroine, then I'm the hero.

I don't think it works that way!

I'm the hero!

What?

The heroes of Gintama are Gin and Tama!

Just Gin is fine. You're stepping on his Tama by the way.

Don't do it, sir!

Heroes and heroines always have steamy sex scenes.

That means you'll have to

HEY! What kind of movies are you watching?

I only got to narrate the trailer.

Where did you come from?

Is it going to be dubbed?

Never! What the heck's wrong with all of y-

Sorry I'm late, Kintoki. Where's my part?

Just at the opening and ending!

The sequel should definitely be starring Captain Katsura and *****...

Enough already!

Are you kidding me?

Catch My Heart, Kitty Cat!

The sequel will feature Gin and me.

I told you I'm the heroine.

Otae and I will ****!

Sir, may I suggest **** over ****!

Wait a minute. We called it first. The Shinsengumi!

How about me?

Shut up! I'm the hero!

And I'm the heroine!

This is crazy. What are we going to do?

Cut! Cut!

This is too much. We quit.

It's...

Mr. War and Mr. Nev'.!

They really do exist! The Warner Brothers!

What is this mess? You tricked us brothers!

This anime is supposed to be a mega-hit in Japan? You lied to us!

This isn't Gintama.

Those aren't samurai either. They're ninja and soul reapers and...

We can't do business in the global marketplace with this vulgar anime.

That's it! Forever!

GOOd-bye!

What about our sequel?

So, Gintama is over?

Hmph. A vulgar anime?

That's the ultimate compliment.

The end? Are you kidding?

We've only just begun.

I don't get it. But I know those lyrics.
