Title: Silver Soul Arc
Title: Flavoring Is Best in Small Quantities
Kat: Utsuro made the Altana reserves of seven planets go berserk, destroying them.
Kat: His true goal was to use the Altana Liberation Army and turn Earth...
Kat: into space dust.
Kat: So our job is to...
Kat: Pass the soy sauce, please.
Sak: I see. Soy sauce, eh?
Warning,Warning: Watch the Silver Soul Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Sak: And what do we do once we control the soy sauce?
Kat: Fire it all at once toward the croquette, obviously.
Sak: Zura, trickery only works when you also use traditional tactics.
Sak: Croquettes are better with Worcestershire sauce.
Kat: A samurai can eat anything as long as he has salt and soy sauce.
Kat: It's because you get influenced by foreign culture and use katakana seasoning
Kat: that you get called "idiot" and "moron" in katakana.
Sak: Zura, croquettes themselves are written in katakana.
Sak: Ain't it common sense to use katakana seasoning on katakana foods?
Kat: It's not that simple.
Kat: The katakana Yu Darvish and his wife Saeko didn't work out,
Kat: but things worked out great for Nishikawa Kiyoshi and Helen.
Kat: The world works in strange ways.
Sak: As lovey-dovey as Kiyoshi and his wife seem, they must've had tons of difficulties.
Kat: No way. It's obvious from Helen's smile.
Sak: Have you seen Saeko's smile, then?
Kat: What the hell do you know about Helen?
Sak: What do you know about Saeko's suffering?!
Kat: Say what?
Shin: That shtick is particularly irritating when you consider that Earth is in peril.
Gin: Right? Makes you wanna destroy Earth, right?
Gin: Long story short, both Helen and Saeko did their best.
Gin: And to save Earth, defeating Utsuro ain't enough.
Gin: We also have to stop the w*r that he started.
Gin: Let's say...
Gin: Earth is this croquette, and the maple syrup on top is the Liberation Army.
Gin: The pocky stuck in the middle is Utsuro...
Shin: Uh, the syrup packs too much punch. I can't follow at all.
Kag: How confusing. Basically, it's like this.
Kag: The croquette here is Earth.
Kag: All the gastric acid attacking it is the Liberation Army.
Shin: Pretty sure Earth's done for here. It's been eaten.
Shin: Could you stop likening it to a croquette?
Sign: It's like this, right?
Shin: What the hell did you eat?!
Shin: That's Korokke the actor, not croquette!
Mut: That's just how it is.
Mut: We can't even agree on how to eat croquettes.
Mut: So we should just eat it however we like, with whatever seasoning we like.
Mut: In other words,
Mut: no different from how it's always been.
Shin: Even as you say that, your belly's swollen with croquettes!
Shin: You really are a Yato, huh?
Sak: Even if Earth is in peril, a trader's gotta do business.
Shin: Business?
Sak: We're gonna negotiate with the Liberation Army.
Sak: For that, we need ta take the Tendoshu and Utsuro's heads first.
Sak: We'll sell those heads to the Liberation Army.
Sak: In return, we'll buy Earth's future.
Kat: Will that really stop the w*r?
Kat: They're fixated on Earth itself, you know.
Gin: That's exactly why we have to do it.
Gin: We have to show the entire universe that Earthlings have the power to defend Earth from
Gin: the Tendoshu and the Liberation Army.
Gin: Or else, Earth doesn't have a future.
Kat: Even so,
Kat: is it even possible to bring them to the negotiating table?
Kat: Do you really think they'll listen to nobodies like us?
Nb: Oh, they will.
Nb: If they hear that you're not rebels who turned against the bakufu,
Nb: but Shogun Tokugawa Nobunobu's official army.
Shin: Lord Nobunobu?!
Sak: What's this, Shogun-sama?
Sak: You're finally willin' to touch the space food that Gran cooked?
Nb: Give me another croquette.
G: Sir!
Nb: As pathetic as the food may be,
Nb: one can't fight on an empty stomach. You're the one who told me that.
Nb: Take me with you.
Nb: If you do, the Liberation Army will treat you as Earth's envoys.
Kag: You're telling us to become your retainers?!
Kag: Keep the jokes to your crew cut, okay?!
Shin: Kagura-chan!
Nb: A man who became shogun by being a puppet has no retainers.
Nb: But even if I'm an empty figurehead, I can still use the title of shogun.
Nb: Let me at least choose for myself my final act as a puppet.
Kat: After being a puppet all your life, now you'll willingly choose to act as one?
Kat: Are you trying to atone for your sins?
Kat: No matter how hard you try, we'll never forget what you've done.
Nb: I won't forget, either.
Nb: All an empty shogun can do is take in all of his subjects' sorrow, hatred, and hopes,
Nb: and watch how things play out until the end.
Nb: Hey.
Nb: This is how one is supposed to eat croquettes, I take it?
G: Thank you for coming, Shogun-dono.
G: So, what can we do for you?
Nb: As representative of Earth's people, there is something I must discuss with you.
Nb: Can I use your toilet?
Kat: And that was how the first contact between us and the Liberation Army went.
Kat: They really cannot be taken lightly.
Kat: You don't even have to wipe your ass
Kat: with this terrifying technology called "washlet" that they've developed.
Shin: What the hell are you guys negotiating?!
Kat: Because you guys put all sorts of stuff on his croquettes,
Kat: it seems he's had an upset stomach for the past three days.
Shin: That doesn't mean that after barging into the enemy's base,
Shin: you borrow their toilet and call it a done deal!
Kat: Relax. It wasn't just their toilet that we borrowed.
Sign: Abarenbo Shogun
Kat: We also borrowed sweats and underwear.
Shin: So he pooped his pants after all?
Kat: We also borrowed In**pendence Day and S*** Wars.
Shin: Why were you at Zudaya? Why were you guys in sweats, too?!
Kat: We really can't take the Liberation Army lightly.
Kat: They even have lodging facilities and Zudaya on their mother ship.
Kat: But we're preparing for tomorrow by watching S*** Wars.
Kat: We shan't lose.
Shin: You've already lost!
Shin: The moment you decided to prepare using a video you borrowed from the enemy,
Shin: the Earth was doomed!
Kat: The real negotiations start tomorrow.
Kat: Our battle has only just begun.
Kat: How are things on your end?
Shin: While you guys were watching S*** Wars, actual s*** wars broke out over here.
Shin: In the name of saving Earth,
Shin: the Liberation Army was looting and pillaging everything.
Shin: Citizens all over Edo are revolting to put an end to this.
Is this all the Liberation Army's got?
I thought they'd entertain us, but they ran away as soon as we poked 'em a little.
Yuki-chan of the Iai YankWank Pub I frequent is much more liberatin'.
Sai: You don't understand a thing.
Sai: Did you learn nothing from watching Jirocho?
Boss is a master of iai yanking too, y'know?
Sai: Shut up.
Kyo: The Liberation Army must've quickly retreated because it was their plan all along.
Tet: Now they can say they're suppressing a riot and go all-out to take control of Edo.
HB: Can't wait.
Sign: Can't wait. The real fun starts now, huh?
HB: The real fun starts now, huh?
Sai: In unarmed combat, I don't think even gods or devils could b*at me.
Sai: But we're up against people who can wipe out an entire town if they feel like it.
Sai: They've pummeled me—the Saigo—and Jirocho once already.
Sai: How are we supposed to b*at them?
Gen: I'll handle the fighting with machines part.
Gen: You morons can fight your own moronic battles.
Oto: This makes me happy.
Oto: I never thought I'd live long enough to see another massive fight like this.
Oto: I'm looking forward to you guys avenging my husband.
Sai: The geezers and hags of this town are scarier than gods or devils!
W: Everyone,
W: thanks for keeping watch.
Tae: We've brought refreshments!
Tae: Help yourselves—
Shin: Under the Four Devas' leadership,
Shin: the Kabuki District is preparing for the Liberation Army's next move.
Shin: Come, now, don't be shy. Eat up.
Shin: As for Kyubei-san and the rest of the Yagyu...
Kyu: It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.
Kyu: Those who're capable of fighting and those who aren't
Kyu: should both just do everything they can.
Kyu: If we all come together as one, I'm sure we can overcome any adversity!
Kyu: We, the Yagyu Family, will protect you to the last!
Kyu: So would you all protect our country with us?
Bin: How you've grown, Kyubei.
Toj: Young Master! I'm sure your mother is watching your heroics in heaven!
G: We can help! Use us!
W: Me, too!
W: And us!
G: And me!
Kyu: Thank you. Thank you.
Kyu: Tha...
Shin: While calling for the people to rise up,
Shin: they seem to be trying to solidify the various groups.
Shin: And then there's...
Sac: How's the Liberation Army looking?
G: Unable to handle the public's resistance, they've retreated for now.
Sac: So they're preparing to crush Edo once and for all.
Sac: Let all of Edo know and guide the people to the shelters.
G: Understood.
Sac: What about the other thing?
G: Haven't found him yet.
Sac: I see.
Sac: Very well. Dismissed.
Sac: What is he doing?
Shin: Sacchan-san and the Oniwaban
Shin: are keeping an eye on the Liberation Army.
Shin: Tsukuyo-san and g*ng are...
G: No!
G: I don't wanna be sold to Yoshiwara!
G: You people are monsters!
G: Even if you take my body, you won't have my heart!
Hya: You don't have to work here. Just take refuge.
G: Shut it, fugly!
Hya: Who're you calling fugly, you hag?!
G: What's wrong with calling a fugly a fugly?!
Hin: How ironic.
Hin: That thick ceiling, which once kept us Yoshiwara women locked up underground,
Hin: is now acting as a truly reliable shield.
Hin: I thought I'd never see this metallic sky again.
Hin: It looks completely different now, doesn't it?
Hin: Is it because we know we're connected, even if it's shut?
Hin: Connected to the skies over Edo, where everyone is.
Tsu: Yeah.
Tsu: So we should fight, too,
Tsu: along with the ones who live under the same skies as us.
Shin: Katsura-san.
Shin: Make sure the Liberation Army knows
Shin: that we will never lose.
Shin: Katsura-san.
Shin: Make sure the Liberation Army knows
Shin: that we will never lose.
Shin: There you have it.
Shin: These people aren't rioters.
Shin: Earthlings rose up to stop the Liberation Army's looting and savagery.
Shin: If your soldiers back off, so will they.
G: We were trying to liberate you from the Tendoshu's rule, you know.
G: You call that savagery?
Sak: It was savagery.
Sak: We samurai prefer ta wipe our own asses and clean up our own messes.
Sak: And you stole our prey from us.
G: You mean to say you'll deal with the Tendoshu without our help?
G: Like you can—
Nb: They can.
Nb: They put me through hell, so I know it better than anyone.
Nb: A word of advice:
Nb: do not get on their bad side.
Nb: Also...
Nb: Can I use your toil—
Sak: Just clench your butt.
Kat: This is do-or-die for both Earth and you.
Shu: Oh?
Shu: You seem to have a very favorable opinion of your subjects.
Shu: But we can't back down, either.
Kat: Admiral Shijaku.
Kat: A primary player in the Liberation Army's formation,
Kat: and a master of fleet warfare.
Kat: A big sh*t has shown up.
Nb: A big one's going to show up here, too!
Shi: The Tendoshu aren't your country's problem alone.
Shi: Many planets that were home to my comrades here were destroyed.
Shi: Ending the Agency's long rule
Shi: and taking back our freedom in this battle
Shi: is the greatest wish of people all across the universe, and our biggest challenge.
Shi: Shouldn't we take one another's hand and deal with this together?
Shi: The Tokugawa Bakufu is a puppet regime that the Tendoshu controlled for ages.
Shi: I thought they'd been rendered spineless.
Shi: I never expected them to come this far.
Shi: But his fear is clear for all to see.
Shi: He can't assert his country's will if it turns the entire universe against them.
Shi: Nobody can.
Shi: Can we take your lack of response as a sign that you accept us?
Nb: What do you think freedom is?
Nb: Does the freedom you people seek
Nb: mean benefiting even if you have to take away the freedom of other planets?
Nb: The freedom we samurai seek is a much higher standard.
Nb: True freedom is
Nb: being able to go to the toilet whenever you want!
Sak: Poop whenever you want.
Kat: I have a change of Pampers ready for you.
Shi: He's still keeping up his headstrong attitude?
G: Does that mean you consider the Liberation Army your enemie—
Nb: Enough!
Nb: Don't make me repeat myself over and over!
Nb: We'll take down the Tendoshu ourselves.
Nb: If you want to help, feel free.
Nb: But if you want to mess with our country in the name of helping,
Nb: we'll take you down as well!
Nb: Okay! That's it! We're done here!
Shi: Forget asking for help. He ended the negotiations himself.
Shi: Is it not fear he's showing, then? No, it most definitely is fear.
Shi: But that's...
Sak: Not yet.
Kat: Spew everything here, and not just from your butt.
Shi: That's a fear directed at something else.
Shi: Wait, Shogun-dono!
Nb: Knock it off already!
Nb: If you keep me here any longer,
Nb: I just might end up launching it.
G: L-Launching?!
G: You!
G: Y-You couldn't have!
G: Freeze!
G: This is all futile. It's too late.
G: Nobody can stop it anymore. Not even me.
G: What are you packing?
G: What are you planning to launch?
G: Time-based missiles? Interplanetary ballistic missiles?
G: Answer!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
Nb: The ones who forced me to do this
Nb: were none other than you lot!
Shi: Calm down, everyone.
G: Admiral.
Shi: So that's what you were so afraid of.
Shi: You planned on using it as your Tr*mp card all along?
Nb: I sent you several warning signs.
Nb: Not my fault you lot didn't notice them.
Shi: So it was an ace in the hole you would've preferred not to use?
Shi: What will happen if it's launched?
Shi: Is the target this S.S. Heavenly Bird?
Nb: Isn't that obvious? It's simple.
Nb: No amount of asswiping will ever clear the disgrace it'll bring my name.
Nb: And future generations won't ever forget it.
G: A w*apon that'll even affect future generations?
G: It must be...
Bo: A nuke!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
G: I-Impossible!
G: We thoroughly investigated the ships they arrived in! They're still under watch!
G: The Army should have control of Earth's main weapons, too.
G: Where did you keep something like that hidden?
Nb: Three minutes until launch.
Nb: One, two, three...
Nb: Run away from here immediately!
G: Is it inside his stomach?
Shi: I've heard that Earth samurai have weapons in their bellies.
Nb: Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
Shi: Apparently, that w*apon they're prepared to die to use is as powerful as a nuke.
Shi: I see.
Shi: So this is the samurai's lethal w*apon,
Shi: disembowelment!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's a bowel movement.
G: Disembowelment? Wh-What is that?
Shi: I don't know exactly, but guessing from his stance,
Shi: it's a w*apon that converts whatever's in his stomach into energy
Shi: and fires it out of his butt.
Kat: Uh, that's pretty much...
Sak: It's poop.
G: How can we stop it?
Shi: I don't know how exactly,
Shi: but taking in fiber and the like to clear the bowels
Shi: should mitigate its impact.
Kat: Uh, that's exactly...
Sak: It's poop.
G: I-It's a bluff!
G: No way can he launch something as powerful as a nuke from this stupid pose.
G: Seize him!
Nb: No!
Nb: Not there!
G: J-Just getting close made them...
G: It's the real deal!
G: It's a real disembowelment!
Shi: Evacuate at once!
Shi: Issue a level one alarm!
Shi: Get away from S.S. Heavenly Bird at full speed!
G: A-Admiral?
G: What are you doing?
Shi: Hurry up and go.
Shi: I cannot abandon my ship.
G: Admiral!
Shi: It seems I underestimated you earthlings.
Shi: I never expected you to be prepared to k*ll yourself for these negotiations.
Shi: Your resolve was splendid.
Shi: I was lacking in proper etiquette.
Shi: When someone risks their life to challenge you,
Shi: my planet's etiquette dictates that you must respond by risking your own life.
Shi: I too shall risk my life
Shi: to put an end to this pointless conflict.
Shi: The real negotiations start now!
G: Is that a counter-disembowelment?
G: What the heck is a counter-disembowelment?
G: I don't know exactly, but when the enemy fires his,
G: he'll probably fire his own disembowelment to neutralize it.
G: Can the admiral really use disembowelment?
G: I don't know, but...
Shi: Whoa!
Shi: I feel like I can release something right now!
Shi: Is this... Is this...
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
G: Admiral?
G: What's the matter, Admiral?
G: What happened?
Shi: Uh, can I ask you something?
Shi: What exactly is disembowelment?
Nb: Dunno.
Shi: Of course you don't!
Shi: I knew all along! There's no way it could've been true!
Shi: Well, the guys don't seem to have realized yet,
Shi: so please don't tell them, okay?
Nb: Very well. But in return...
Shi: I know. I'll talk to the others and make the negotiations easier.
Nb: No, before that...
KatSak: Could you let him use your toilet?
KatSak: Go dump as much as you want.
Kat: These negotiations temporarily softened the Liberation Army's stance.
Sign: Well done.
Kat: A peaceful resolution to the riots
Kat: and greater discipline from the army were among the promises made,
Kat: but we couldn't get them to withdraw their troops stationed on Earth.
Kat: But our biggest gain this time
Kat: might be the reliable friend we made in the Liberation Army.
Shi: Don't tell anyone.
Sign: Abarenbo Admiral
Nb: Right back at you.
Sign: Abarenbo Shogun
Shi: It's a promise, okay?
Nb: You keep your promise too, okay?
Kat: That's about it.
Kat: We couldn't stop the w*r, but it wasn't bad for a first meeting.
Kat: Well? How'd you like our negotiation skills?
Shin: Uh, it was poop.
Sign: To Be Continued
Sign: Preview
Shi: That's a real disembowelment, huh?
Gin: If we don't defeat them, this will never end.

Bin: How you've grown, Kyubei.
Toj: Young Master! I'm sure your mother is watching your heroics in heaven!
G: We can help! Use us!
W: Me, too!
W: And us!
G: And me!
Kyu: Thank you. Thank you.
Kyu: Tha...
Shin: While calling for the people to rise up,
Shin: they seem to be trying to solidify the various groups.
Shin: And then there's...
Sac: How's the Liberation Army looking?
G: Unable to handle the public's resistance, they've retreated for now.
Sac: So they're preparing to crush Edo once and for all.
Sac: Let all of Edo know and guide the people to the shelters.
G: Understood.
Sac: What about the other thing?
G: Haven't found him yet.
Sac: I see.
Sac: Very well. Dismissed.
Sac: What is he doing?
Shin: Sacchan-san and the Oniwaban
Shin: are keeping an eye on the Liberation Army.
Shin: Tsukuyo-san and g*ng are...
G: No!
G: I don't wanna be sold to Yoshiwara!
G: You people are monsters!
G: Even if you take my body, you won't have my heart!
Hya: You don't have to work here. Just take refuge.
G: Shut it, fugly!
Hya: Who're you calling fugly, you hag?!
G: What's wrong with calling a fugly a fugly?!
Hin: How ironic.
Hin: That thick ceiling, which once kept us Yoshiwara women locked up underground,
Hin: is now acting as a truly reliable shield.
Hin: I thought I'd never see this metallic sky again.
Hin: It looks completely different now, doesn't it?
Hin: Is it because we know we're connected, even if it's shut?
Hin: Connected to the skies over Edo, where everyone is.
Tsu: Yeah.
Tsu: So we should fight, too,
Tsu: along with the ones who live under the same skies as us.
Shin: Katsura-san.
Shin: Make sure the Liberation Army knows
Shin: that we will never lose.
Shin: Katsura-san.
Shin: Make sure the Liberation Army knows
Shin: that we will never lose.
Shin: There you have it.
Shin: These people aren't rioters.
Shin: Earthlings rose up to stop the Liberation Army's looting and savagery.
Shin: If your soldiers back off, so will they.
G: We were trying to liberate you from the Tendoshu's rule, you know.
G: You call that savagery?
Sak: It was savagery.
Sak: We samurai prefer ta wipe our own asses and clean up our own messes.
Sak: And you stole our prey from us.
G: You mean to say you'll deal with the Tendoshu without our help?
G: Like you can—
Nb: They can.
Nb: They put me through hell, so I know it better than anyone.
Nb: A word of advice:
Nb: do not get on their bad side.
Nb: Also...
Nb: Can I use your toil—
Sak: Just clench your butt.
Kat: This is do-or-die for both Earth and you.
Shu: Oh?
Shu: You seem to have a very favorable opinion of your subjects.
Shu: But we can't back down, either.
Kat: Admiral Shijaku.
Kat: A primary player in the Liberation Army's formation,
Kat: and a master of fleet warfare.
Kat: A big sh*t has shown up.
Nb: A big one's going to show up here, too!
Shi: The Tendoshu aren't your country's problem alone.
Shi: Many planets that were home to my comrades here were destroyed.
Shi: Ending the Agency's long rule
Shi: and taking back our freedom in this battle
Shi: is the greatest wish of people all across the universe, and our biggest challenge.
Shi: Shouldn't we take one another's hand and deal with this together?
Shi: The Tokugawa Bakufu is a puppet regime that the Tendoshu controlled for ages.
Shi: I thought they'd been rendered spineless.
Shi: I never expected them to come this far.
Shi: But his fear is clear for all to see.
Shi: He can't assert his country's will if it turns the entire universe against them.
Shi: Nobody can.
Shi: Can we take your lack of response as a sign that you accept us?
Nb: What do you think freedom is?
Nb: Does the freedom you people seek
Nb: mean benefiting even if you have to take away the freedom of other planets?
Nb: The freedom we samurai seek is a much higher standard.
Nb: True freedom is
Nb: being able to go to the toilet whenever you want!
Sak: Poop whenever you want.
Kat: I have a change of Pampers ready for you.
Shi: He's still keeping up his headstrong attitude?
G: Does that mean you consider the Liberation Army your enemie—
Nb: Enough!
Nb: Don't make me repeat myself over and over!
Nb: We'll take down the Tendoshu ourselves.
Nb: If you want to help, feel free.
Nb: But if you want to mess with our country in the name of helping,
Nb: we'll take you down as well!
Nb: Okay! That's it! We're done here!
Shi: Forget asking for help. He ended the negotiations himself.
Shi: Is it not fear he's showing, then? No, it most definitely is fear.
Shi: But that's...
Sak: Not yet.
Kat: Spew everything here, and not just from your butt.
Shi: That's a fear directed at something else.
Shi: Wait, Shogun-dono!
Nb: Knock it off already!
Nb: If you keep me here any longer,
Nb: I just might end up launching it.
G: L-Launching?!
G: You!
G: Y-You couldn't have!
G: Freeze!
G: This is all futile. It's too late.
G: Nobody can stop it anymore. Not even me.
G: What are you packing?
G: What are you planning to launch?
G: Time-based missiles? Interplanetary ballistic missiles?
G: Answer!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
Nb: The ones who forced me to do this
Nb: were none other than you lot!
Shi: Calm down, everyone.
G: Admiral.
Shi: So that's what you were so afraid of.
Shi: You planned on using it as your Tr*mp card all along?
Nb: I sent you several warning signs.
Nb: Not my fault you lot didn't notice them.
Shi: So it was an ace in the hole you would've preferred not to use?
Shi: What will happen if it's launched?
Shi: Is the target this S.S. Heavenly Bird?
Nb: Isn't that obvious? It's simple.
Nb: No amount of asswiping will ever clear the disgrace it'll bring my name.
Nb: And future generations won't ever forget it.
G: A w*apon that'll even affect future generations?
G: It must be...
Bo: A nuke!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
G: I-Impossible!
G: We thoroughly investigated the ships they arrived in! They're still under watch!
G: The Army should have control of Earth's main weapons, too.
G: Where did you keep something like that hidden?
Nb: Three minutes until launch.
Nb: One, two, three...
Nb: Run away from here immediately!
G: Is it inside his stomach?
Shi: I've heard that Earth samurai have weapons in their bellies.
Nb: Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
Shi: Apparently, that w*apon they're prepared to die to use is as powerful as a nuke.
Shi: I see.
Shi: So this is the samurai's lethal w*apon,
Shi: disembowelment!
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's a bowel movement.
G: Disembowelment? Wh-What is that?
Shi: I don't know exactly, but guessing from his stance,
Shi: it's a w*apon that converts whatever's in his stomach into energy
Shi: and fires it out of his butt.
Kat: Uh, that's pretty much...
Sak: It's poop.
G: How can we stop it?
Shi: I don't know how exactly,
Shi: but taking in fiber and the like to clear the bowels
Shi: should mitigate its impact.
Kat: Uh, that's exactly...
Sak: It's poop.
G: I-It's a bluff!
G: No way can he launch something as powerful as a nuke from this stupid pose.
G: Seize him!
Nb: No!
Nb: Not there!
G: J-Just getting close made them...
G: It's the real deal!
G: It's a real disembowelment!
Shi: Evacuate at once!
Shi: Issue a level one alarm!
Shi: Get away from S.S. Heavenly Bird at full speed!
G: A-Admiral?
G: What are you doing?
Shi: Hurry up and go.
Shi: I cannot abandon my ship.
G: Admiral!
Shi: It seems I underestimated you earthlings.
Shi: I never expected you to be prepared to k*ll yourself for these negotiations.
Shi: Your resolve was splendid.
Shi: I was lacking in proper etiquette.
Shi: When someone risks their life to challenge you,
Shi: my planet's etiquette dictates that you must respond by risking your own life.
Shi: I too shall risk my life
Shi: to put an end to this pointless conflict.
Shi: The real negotiations start now!
G: Is that a counter-disembowelment?
G: What the heck is a counter-disembowelment?
G: I don't know exactly, but when the enemy fires his,
G: he'll probably fire his own disembowelment to neutralize it.
G: Can the admiral really use disembowelment?
G: I don't know, but...
Shi: Whoa!
Shi: I feel like I can release something right now!
Shi: Is this... Is this...
Kat: Nope.
Sak: It's poop.
G: Admiral?
G: What's the matter, Admiral?
G: What happened?
Shi: Uh, can I ask you something?
Shi: What exactly is disembowelment?
Nb: Dunno.
Shi: Of course you don't!
Shi: I knew all along! There's no way it could've been true!
Shi: Well, the guys don't seem to have realized yet,
Shi: so please don't tell them, okay?
Nb: Very well. But in return...
Shi: I know. I'll talk to the others and make the negotiations easier.
Nb: No, before that...
KatSak: Could you let him use your toilet?
KatSak: Go dump as much as you want.
Kat: These negotiations temporarily softened the Liberation Army's stance.
Sign: Well done.
Kat: A peaceful resolution to the riots
Kat: and greater discipline from the army were among the promises made,
Kat: but we couldn't get them to withdraw their troops stationed on Earth.
Kat: But our biggest gain this time
Kat: might be the reliable friend we made in the Liberation Army.
Shi: Don't tell anyone.
Sign: Abarenbo Admiral
Nb: Right back at you.
Sign: Abarenbo Shogun
Shi: It's a promise, okay?
Nb: You keep your promise too, okay?
Kat: That's about it.
Kat: We couldn't stop the w*r, but it wasn't bad for a first meeting.
Kat: Well? How'd you like our negotiation skills?
Shin: Uh, it was poop.
Sign: To Be Continued
Sign: Preview
Shi: That's a real disembowelment, huh?
Gin: If we don't defeat them, this will never end.
