Nob: There's no telling how long Utsuro has been living for,
Nob: or whether Shoyo is still a part of him or not.
Nob: But one thing is for sure:
Nob: he's currently the most dangerous being in the universe.

Kat: If Takasugi were alive, what would he say?
Kat: We became Joi Rebels after the bakufu took our teacher and friends from us,
Kat: hoping to change this cruel world for the better.
Kat: If he were to find out that our teacher was the one who created this world...
Kat: I'd be lying if I said the whole thing didn't come as a shock.
Kat: But it's also true that a part of me thinks it makes sense.
Kat: Yoshida Shoyo was a bright light that shone upon us.
Kat: But, looking back,
Kat: the vacant look he would sometimes have in his eyes
Kat: might have been him staring at the giant shadow of his past.
Kat: I may never know why he spent years in the Naraku,
Kat: then left it and started the Shoka Sonjuku.
Kat: But I do know...
Kat: that the man smiling there back then was, without a doubt, our teacher.
Kat: And I do know what I ought to do now as Yoshida Shoyo's student.
Gin: Zura, that's not Shoyo.
Sho: A monster's sword cannot cut another monster.
Sho: You have to grow stronger than me using the sword of a human.
Sho: It's something else, something not even Shoyo could defeat.
Sho: Shoyo d*ed back then...
Sho: That's what Takasugi would say.
Kat: I see.
Kat: Even so, Gintoki,
Kat: it's my turn now.
Kat: I can't make you k*ll our teacher again.
U: The Elders passed away in an unfortunate incident.
U: There's nothing shackling the Divisions anymore.
U: You're free to do as you wish now.
Shirei?: Utsuro-sama,
Shirei?: we do not seek freedom after all this time.
Shirei?: What the Harusame desires is governance...
Shirei?: A leader to show us the way.
Shirei?: Please let us join the Tendoshu's forces, Your Excellency—
UB: Good grief.
UB: Pirates, of all people, seeking governance? A leader?
UB: You make me want to give you a drink made from Luffy's straw hat.

Gin: Hey, what part of this thing is a girl?!
Oto: What's the matter, Sadaharu?
Tama: Did Gintoki-sama and the rest come back?
Cat: He probably just needs to pee.
Cat: Even if those wanted felons did come back, it'd only be a bother.
Cat: Here, get going.
UB: No vindication for the Elders, it seems.
UB: Do you think you can drink some sweet stuff if you follow the Tendoshu?
U: You were asked by an old friend in the Elders to dispose of the th Division, yes?
U: I shall pay you in their stead.
UB: I didn't put in enough work to get paid.
UB: Those guys were already on their last legs.
UB: You ordered that, didn't you?
U: You may be the number one hunter in the universe,
U: but I figured it wouldn't be easy for you to hunt down your own son.
UB: Until now, I'd never gotten involved in the internal disputes of crime syndicates.
UB: It may have been out of obligation,
UB: but do you know the real reason why I helped pirates out?
UB: It was to k*ll that rotten son of mine before you lot did.
UB: It was my own balls that gave life to that monster.
UB: Then it's my duty, balls and all, to put an end to him.
UB: So let me make this crystal clear.
Kag: Take me with you.
UB: I won't let anyone else...
Kag: ...k*ll him.

U: Are you saying your son is still alive?
UB: Playing the fool, eh?
UB: Surely you know already.
UB: He's not the type to die from just that.
UB: My hunt is still in the phase where the prey has taken the bait.
UB: But if you're going to stick your nose where it doesn't belong again,
UB: then you'd best be prepared to be hunted down by Umibozu, too.
UB: Of course,
UB: the guy over there seems to be prepared for it already.
U: Stand down, Oboro.
U: He may not be our ally, but he's not an enemy, either.

Mat: What are you playing at, Takechi-senpai?!
Mat: We decided not to work with them, even as a last resort!
Kag: Seconds.
Hen: Now, now, don't be in such a rush. Nobody's going to take your food away.
Hen: Chew properly, and eat the boiled veggies, too.
Mat: Are you kidding me?!
Mat: What are you domesticating her for, you moai mom?!
Mat: Why would you let her, of all people, on board?!
Mat: Give your lolicon tendencies a rest!
Hen: I'm not a lolicon. I'm a feminist.
Hen: I'm not putting my hands on an innocent little girl.
Hen: I'm extending a helping hand to her.
Mat: Uh, no matter how you put it, it just makes you sound like a lolicon!
Mat: You're a creep, Senpai!
Mat: What part of her is "innocent"?
Mat: Knock it off already!
Mat: How can you eat that much off the enemy's table?
Mat: Sure you didn't sneak in to burn through our provisions?
Kag: You guys would crash and burn even if I did nothing. You're meaningless to me.
Kag: If you wanna make a comeback,
Kag: bet everything you have on my tummy.
Kag: I'll destroy it all...
Kag: The Harusame, my stupid dad, and my stupid brother.
Hen: You shouldn't say things you don't mean.
Hen: You want to stop those two, don't you?
Hen: That's why you came here all by yourself...
Hen: To protect them as a daughter, as a sister, and as family.
U: It seems you're approaching your limit.
U: Even if it does gain the blood of an immortal,
U: a human body cannot handle that burden forever.
U: All the times you've d*ed so far have clearly taken a toll on your body.
O: Even so, what has kept me alive when I should've d*ed long ago
O: is your blood flowing through my body.
O: And the vow I made to you, one I will keep until my body rots away.
U: Even if you made that promise to a different avatar of mine?
O: Utsuro-sama, the enemy is not dead yet.
O: During the operation to mop up the th Division,
O: we detected an unknown unit moving around in the chaos.
O: One of them was an experienced Yato fighter.
O: We've received reports that the unit they led was likely comprised of Earthlings.
U: You're saying a third party got involved and secretly rescued Takasugi and g*ng?
O: They had a guide.
O: Probably exactly who you think it is.
Ban: Is this...
Ban: Where's Shinsuke?
Ban: Where are the Kiheitai?
Ban: Just what is this place?
Sak: Hey, you awake?
Ban: Y-You people...
Sak: Sorry.
Sak: We couldn't save any more of you.
Sak: But don't you worry.
Sak: Your general, and our friend...
Sak: We'll definitely save him!
Kat: "Friend," huh?
Kat: At this point, you're the only one who calls him that.
Kat: He should be thankful that
Kat: there's a man who is willing to go to the ends of the universe to save him.
Kat: And he should lament that
Kat: there's a man who is willing to go to the ends of the universe to k*ll him.
Sak: What, Zura?
Sak: You're still havin' a fight with Takasugi over somethin' stupid?
Kat: I'm not Zura. I'm Katsura.
Kat: A money-minded businessman wouldn't understand.
Kat: Samurai risk their lives to fight for their stupid bushido.
Sak: That so?
Sak: In that case, I wonder what stupid thing that happy-go-lucky fool's fightin' for.
Hen: Do you realize why I let you board this ship?
Hen: It's because I can bend your friends to my will if I take you hostage.
Mat: Takechi-senpai?
Hen: I'm the Kiheitai's strategic advisor.
Hen: My job is to get us out of this predicament using any and all methods available.
Kag: Don't worry.
Kag: Whether I do something stupid or not,
Kag: those guys will come
Kag: to protect my family.
Kag: That's why I must go...
Kag: To protect my other family.
Ban: The Dragon of Katsurahama, Sakamoto Tatsuma.
Ban: The Rampaging Noble, Katsura Kotaro.
Ban: The White Yaksha, Sakata Gintoki.
Ban: The men of legend who fought with Shinsuke in the Joi w*r...
Ban: Why are they here?
Gin: Thanks for bringing us here.
Nob: You should hurry up and get going.
Nob: Nobunobu has caught wind of our movements.
Nob: I'll take care of things here.
Nob: Figure the rest out on your own.
Shin: Nobume-san...
Nob: Can I ask you one thing?
Nob: Are you here as a student of Shoyo's,
Nob: or as a friend of Takasugi's?
Gin: Odd Jobs does whatever's asked of us.
Gin: Can I ask you something?
Gin: Did you help us out as a student of Shoyo's,
Gin: or as a friend of Takasugi's?
Nob: Because your foolish face
Nob: looked just like his.
Nob: So stupid.
Gin: Yeah, both you and me.
Kat: Gintoki...
Sak: Everyone's here now.
Sak: Set sail!
U: The Kaientai?
O: Sakamoto Tatsuma.
O: He fought in the Joi w*r with Takasugi and the others.
O: We've received word that a combined fleet with his and Katsura's people has left Earth.
O: They were probably the ones who rescued the remnants of the Kiheitai.
U: I see.
U: Former comrades have come together again to save their friend, huh?
U: Will you indeed be the ones to fight me until the very end?
Ban: What are you all playing at?
Ban: You cut ties with Shinsuke a long time ago.
Ban: So why are you doing this now?
Ban: Only Gintoki and Zura got into a fight with Takasugi.
Ban: That's how they've always been.
Ban: They keep quarrelin' over methods, even though their goal is the same.
Kat: You were wandering across the universe, so you don't know what he did.
Kat: Tell him about all his evil acts, Gintoki.
Gin: One bad thing about Takasugi...
Gin: Two bad things about Takasugi...
Gin: Three—
Kat: Look, there were so many that he fell asleep!
Kat: You helped out a man who's basically an incarnation of all things evil.
Kat: Why don't I count and see if he has enough good points to be worth saving?
Kat: One good thing about Takasugi...
Shin: There are tons of good things about him, too?!
Shin: You two just want to sleep, don't you?!
Sak: Once the battle begins, there will be no time to sleep.
Sak: Preserving one's energy is also part of bushido.
Shin: I don't wanna hear that from you! You're losing energy just by being on a ship!
Mut: There was a leak from the Harusame side
Mut: that said they were planning an operation to mop up the th Division and Kiheitai.
Mut: All we did was act on that information as per Sakamoto's orders.
Ban: Who leaked that information?
Mut: There's no need for you to know.
Mut: But Takasugi's not dead yet.
Mut: That much is for sure.
Sak: You guys have turned an absolute monster against you.
Sak: If we all don't work together, we'll all die.
Sak: We're willin' to help you out.
Sak: So you help us out, too.
Ban: As if we could do that—
Sak: You can.
Sak: I don't know why Takasugi and these guys had a fight.
Sak: There must've been some extraordinary circumstances involved.
Sak: But things are the same as back then, if you ask me.
Sak: They're just partners in crime who fight the moment they run into each other.
Sak: It's always been my job to put an end to their fights.
Sak: And I don't mind if it's only for a moment...
Sak: I'm gonna turn him back to nothin' but a punk!
Shin: Sakamoto-san...
G: Captain!
Shin: Th-That's...
Nb: I'm sorry, gentlemen, but your fun space trip ends now.
Nb: You will be reduced to space debris here.
Ban: Tokugawa Nobunobu!
Ban: The shogun himself? Impossible!
Gin: Jeez...
Gin: He's here, huh?
Nb: Sakata Gintoki, you cast a stone at my new government.
Nb: Did you think I,
Nb: or heaven, would forgive you?
Nb: You'll never escape, no matter where in this universe you run—
Nb: What's going on?
G: A-a*tillery fire!
Nb: a*tillery? They haven't lifted a finger.
G: Not from the front!
G: From the rear!
G: That's not a*tillery!
G: It's a raid ship fitted with optical camouflage!
G: The fleet in front is a decoy!
Nb: What?
G: Run away, shogun!
G: The enemy is already—
Sak: Oh? Is this what your new government is made of?
Sak: The old one we went to w*r against had a bit more backbone.
Sak: But we can take your country down in thirteen seconds.
G: You fiends!
Nb: Don't move!
Nb: If you do, my entire armada will fire at your fleet!
Gin: Just try it.
Gin: Will you destroy our fleet first,
Gin: or will we take the shogun's head first?
G: P-Protect the shogun!
Ban: They turned that hopeless situation around in a flash?
Ban: These are the men that fought with Shinsuke.
Sak: All ships, cease fire!
Sak: This fight is over, guys.
Sak: We've kissed and made up.
Gin: We found out there were a bunch of misunderstandings.
Gin: Like how we laughed at his sperm-like eyebrows or something.
Kat: But we cleared that up.
Kat: We didn't laugh at his eyebrows, but his cropped hair.
Kat: Isn't it funny that a man as old as him has that hairstyle?
Kat: In that case, your long hair is funny, too, Zura.
Kat: It's not long hair. It's Katsura.
Gin: Anyway, we resolved the whole thing by saying Zura would crop his hair, too.
Kat: Why must I get such a messed-up hairstyle?!
Gin: Also, as a sign of reconciliation, the shogun invited us to a "Hawk-Crop Party."
Gin: It's a meetup where we go around cropping the heads of every hawk in the universe.
Gin: As such, the operation is canceled.
Gin: He wants you retainers to return to Earth before him.
Nb: No need for that.
Nb: You won't be able to escape.
Nb: Not you or the retainers.
Nb: If you can't slaughter the traitors, then you retainers should disembowel yourselves.
Nb: k*ll the enemy or k*ll yourself. Make your choice.
Nb: What's wrong? Stand up already.
Nb: Are you aware of who I am?!
Nb: I'm Shogun Tokugawa Nobunob—
Ban: There's no need for retainers to protect the shogun or give their lives for him.
Ban: Leave.
Ban: This country no longer has a deserving leader.
Gin: Oh, man.
Gin: The shogun's lost his teeth again.
Gin: How does it feel,
Gin: now that your long-standing wish of taking down the bakufu has come true here?
Ban: Nothing's come true.
Ban: The Shinsengumi, Mimawarigumi, and the retainers have all abandoned this castle.
Ban: Felling it just makes me feel empty inside.
Ban: How ironic.
Ban: This man was left all alone because he stood at the summit of the country.
Ban: And that man had his wings ripped off and fell to the ground,
Ban: but there were those that joined him there.
Ban: Shinsuke had you guys.
Ban: There is something I must tell you.
Ban: We have a secret base where we promised to meet in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Ban: Forgive me, Shinsuke.
Ban: You might yell at me for this,
Ban: but we need these men to fight the Harusame.
Ban: No...
Ban: Before all that, I've ended up wanting to see with my own eyes
Ban: how you looked back when you lived with these guys.
Ban: Shinsuke...
Ab: What a graceful sleeping face.
Ab: No matter how many people get b*rned by the flames of w*r outside his eyelids,
Ab: he coolly spends his time in his dreamland.
Ab: I see generals everywhere are messed up.
Ab: I swear...
Ab: At a time when the th Division is on the verge of destruction,
Ab: just where is our general dreaming?
Ab: I didn't expect him to pick this as the gathering spot, though.
Ab: The abandoned planet, Rakuyo.
Ab: The ruins of a world ravaged by a great w*r.
Ab: Rogues driven away from various planets gather here,
Ab: so it's the perfect place to hide.
Ab: But I thought he'd never want to come back here again.
Ab: So even people like you
Ab: can get homesick, huh,
Ab: you family of monsters?

Gin: Thanks for bringing us here.
Nob: You should hurry up and get going.
Nob: Nobunobu has caught wind of our movements.
Nob: I'll take care of things here.
Nob: Figure the rest out on your own.
Shin: Nobume-san...
Nob: Can I ask you one thing?
Nob: Are you here as a student of Shoyo's,
Nob: or as a friend of Takasugi's?
Gin: Odd Jobs does whatever's asked of us.
Gin: Can I ask you something?
Gin: Did you help us out as a student of Shoyo's,
Gin: or as a friend of Takasugi's?
Nob: Because your foolish face
Nob: looked just like his.
Nob: So stupid.
Gin: Yeah, both you and me.
Kat: Gintoki...
Sak: Everyone's here now.
Sak: Set sail!
U: The Kaientai?
O: Sakamoto Tatsuma.
O: He fought in the Joi w*r with Takasugi and the others.
O: We've received word that a combined fleet with his and Katsura's people has left Earth.
O: They were probably the ones who rescued the remnants of the Kiheitai.
U: I see.
U: Former comrades have come together again to save their friend, huh?
U: Will you indeed be the ones to fight me until the very end?
Ban: What are you all playing at?
Ban: You cut ties with Shinsuke a long time ago.
Ban: So why are you doing this now?
Ban: Only Gintoki and Zura got into a fight with Takasugi.
Ban: That's how they've always been.
Ban: They keep quarrelin' over methods, even though their goal is the same.
Kat: You were wandering across the universe, so you don't know what he did.
Kat: Tell him about all his evil acts, Gintoki.
Gin: One bad thing about Takasugi...
Gin: Two bad things about Takasugi...
Gin: Three—
Kat: Look, there were so many that he fell asleep!
Kat: You helped out a man who's basically an incarnation of all things evil.
Kat: Why don't I count and see if he has enough good points to be worth saving?
Kat: One good thing about Takasugi...
Shin: There are tons of good things about him, too?!
Shin: You two just want to sleep, don't you?!
Sak: Once the battle begins, there will be no time to sleep.
Sak: Preserving one's energy is also part of bushido.
Shin: I don't wanna hear that from you! You're losing energy just by being on a ship!
Mut: There was a leak from the Harusame side
Mut: that said they were planning an operation to mop up the th Division and Kiheitai.
Mut: All we did was act on that information as per Sakamoto's orders.
Ban: Who leaked that information?
Mut: There's no need for you to know.
Mut: But Takasugi's not dead yet.
Mut: That much is for sure.
Sak: You guys have turned an absolute monster against you.
Sak: If we all don't work together, we'll all die.
Sak: We're willin' to help you out.
Sak: So you help us out, too.
Ban: As if we could do that—
Sak: You can.
Sak: I don't know why Takasugi and these guys had a fight.
Sak: There must've been some extraordinary circumstances involved.
Sak: But things are the same as back then, if you ask me.
Sak: They're just partners in crime who fight the moment they run into each other.
Sak: It's always been my job to put an end to their fights.
Sak: And I don't mind if it's only for a moment...
Sak: I'm gonna turn him back to nothin' but a punk!
Shin: Sakamoto-san...
G: Captain!
Shin: Th-That's...
Nb: I'm sorry, gentlemen, but your fun space trip ends now.
Nb: You will be reduced to space debris here.
Ban: Tokugawa Nobunobu!
Ban: The shogun himself? Impossible!
Gin: Jeez...
Gin: He's here, huh?
Nb: Sakata Gintoki, you cast a stone at my new government.
Nb: Did you think I,
Nb: or heaven, would forgive you?
Nb: You'll never escape, no matter where in this universe you run—
Nb: What's going on?
G: A-a*tillery fire!
Nb: a*tillery? They haven't lifted a finger.
G: Not from the front!
G: From the rear!
G: That's not a*tillery!
G: It's a raid ship fitted with optical camouflage!
G: The fleet in front is a decoy!
Nb: What?
G: Run away, shogun!
G: The enemy is already—
Sak: Oh? Is this what your new government is made of?
Sak: The old one we went to w*r against had a bit more backbone.
Sak: But we can take your country down in thirteen seconds.
G: You fiends!
Nb: Don't move!
Nb: If you do, my entire armada will fire at your fleet!
Gin: Just try it.
Gin: Will you destroy our fleet first,
Gin: or will we take the shogun's head first?
G: P-Protect the shogun!
Ban: They turned that hopeless situation around in a flash?
Ban: These are the men that fought with Shinsuke.
Sak: All ships, cease fire!
Sak: This fight is over, guys.
Sak: We've kissed and made up.
Gin: We found out there were a bunch of misunderstandings.
Gin: Like how we laughed at his sperm-like eyebrows or something.
Kat: But we cleared that up.
Kat: We didn't laugh at his eyebrows, but his cropped hair.
Kat: Isn't it funny that a man as old as him has that hairstyle?
Kat: In that case, your long hair is funny, too, Zura.
Kat: It's not long hair. It's Katsura.
Gin: Anyway, we resolved the whole thing by saying Zura would crop his hair, too.
Kat: Why must I get such a messed-up hairstyle?!
Gin: Also, as a sign of reconciliation, the shogun invited us to a "Hawk-Crop Party."
Gin: It's a meetup where we go around cropping the heads of every hawk in the universe.
Gin: As such, the operation is canceled.
Gin: He wants you retainers to return to Earth before him.
Nb: No need for that.
Nb: You won't be able to escape.
Nb: Not you or the retainers.
Nb: If you can't slaughter the traitors, then you retainers should disembowel yourselves.
Nb: k*ll the enemy or k*ll yourself. Make your choice.
Nb: What's wrong? Stand up already.
Nb: Are you aware of who I am?!
Nb: I'm Shogun Tokugawa Nobunob—
Ban: There's no need for retainers to protect the shogun or give their lives for him.
Ban: Leave.
Ban: This country no longer has a deserving leader.
Gin: Oh, man.
Gin: The shogun's lost his teeth again.
Gin: How does it feel,
Gin: now that your long-standing wish of taking down the bakufu has come true here?
Ban: Nothing's come true.
Ban: The Shinsengumi, Mimawarigumi, and the retainers have all abandoned this castle.
Ban: Felling it just makes me feel empty inside.
Ban: How ironic.
Ban: This man was left all alone because he stood at the summit of the country.
Ban: And that man had his wings ripped off and fell to the ground,
Ban: but there were those that joined him there.
Ban: Shinsuke had you guys.
Ban: There is something I must tell you.
Ban: We have a secret base where we promised to meet in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Ban: Forgive me, Shinsuke.
Ban: You might yell at me for this,
Ban: but we need these men to fight the Harusame.
Ban: No...
Ban: Before all that, I've ended up wanting to see with my own eyes
Ban: how you looked back when you lived with these guys.
Ban: Shinsuke...
Ab: What a graceful sleeping face.
Ab: No matter how many people get b*rned by the flames of w*r outside his eyelids,
Ab: he coolly spends his time in his dreamland.
Ab: I see generals everywhere are messed up.
Ab: I swear...
Ab: At a time when the th Division is on the verge of destruction,
Ab: just where is our general dreaming?
Ab: I didn't expect him to pick this as the gathering spot, though.
Ab: The abandoned planet, Rakuyo.
Ab: The ruins of a world ravaged by a great w*r.
Ab: Rogues driven away from various planets gather here,
Ab: so it's the perfect place to hide.
Ab: But I thought he'd never want to come back here again.
Ab: So even people like you
Ab: can get homesick, huh,
Ab: you family of monsters?
