Shi: I know you must be homesick this time.
Shi: I hear your wife back home is close to giving birth.
Shi: If you have the time to engage in particle cannon fire with neighboring countries,
Shi: why don't you stay by your wife and do Lamaze with her?
Shi: Or is the mighty hero of w*r afraid of becoming a father?
Shi: How about it, Gunpowder Prince Ensho?
En: Shijaku, in Military Empire Burei,
En: custom says a man who returns empty-handed from w*r cannot be a father.
En: His wife will kick his ass and send him back to the b*ttlefield.
En: My wife is fighting, too.
En: I was told that we're competing to see which of us can claim victory sooner.
Shi: Then, as your archrival, I must fight in a manner befitting your resolve.
En: Archrival? As if.
En: Your head will be nothing more than a nice toy for my child to play with.
G: Prince!
G: We've received word from Burei.
Shi: It seems your wife emerged victorious.
Shi: What's the matter, Ensho?
G: The Empire's Altana Gate went out of control.
G: The cause was likely man-made.
G: The Imperial Capital has been destroyed.
G: Nobody survived.
En: For the first time, I fled from w*r and came back empty-handed.
En: But the one who would chastise me for that was nowhere to be found.
En: Why did you sit back and let me escape?
En: Why didn't you take this chance to attack my empire?
Shi: Like I said,
Shi: I must fight in a manner befitting the Gunpowder Prince's archrival.
Shi: And I realized that the enemy isn't in the neighboring countries, but elsewhere.
En: The Gunpowder Prince?
En: You still call me that after I've lost my empire?
Shi: Ensho...
Shi: You didn't come back empty-handed.
Shi: You've gained a comrade to fight the Tendoshu's unjust rule with.
En: Even after losing my empire,
En: I still belong on the b*ttlefield?
En: Then from that b*ttlefield,
En: from within the gunpowder smoke, let us seize it all!
En: Seize our freedom!
En: We, the Altana Liberation Army, shall liberate the universe from the Tendoshu!

Sign: Shimura Ken
Shin: I knew it.
Shin: You were here, Sis.
Shin: It isn't safe to walk around alone right now.
Tae: But that's exactly why.
Shin: Are you going to tell Father that Earth will be destroyed?
Sign: Shimura Ken
Tae: Yeah.
Tae: "Earth could be destroyed."
Tae: "But your crybaby son, my unreliable kid brother,
Tae: hasn't shed a single tear and is fighting along with everyone."
Tae: "Shimura Shinpachi has grown into a fine samurai."
Shin: Sis, I haven't changed at all.
Shin: I just blindly chased after the back of the strange samurai I saw back then.
Shin: I kept chasing after it,
Shin: and I was here before I knew it.
Shin: All that stuff about saving Earth or protecting Edo is really beyond me.
Shin: It's not that I changed.
Shin: I didn't want to change.
Shin: I just wanted to stay by the strange samurai and his friends forever.
Shin: Do you think Father will forgive me for wielding my sword for such a reason?
Tae: Shin-chan, you don't have to ask for forgiveness.
Tae: You're now capable of finding all the answers for yourself.
Tae: You now stand side-by-side with the back you blindly chased all this time.
Tae: And if you want to protect that,
Tae: I'm sure Father feels the same way.
Tae: He's watching over you
Tae: from right beside you.
G: Get a load of them.
G: They're still walking around here.
G: Damn Amanto. Get off this planet already.
Cat: Say what? You were pissing your pants in front of the Liberation Army!
Cat: But you grow balls when you're up against women and children, huh?
G: That was a woman? I thought it was an old man.
Kag: You heard 'em.
Tam: Please don't lump Kagura-sama in with the Liberation Army!
Tam: She has the power to destroy Earth before them if she so wishes!
Kag: Uh, you're not helping, 'kay?
Cat: What's going on?
Tam: Even though there are Amanto who side with earthlings,
Tam: the discrimination only grows worse by the day.
Cat: Maybe it'd be best to abandon this stupid planet and bail.
Cat: Even if Earth does survive, there may not be a place for us here.
Kag: I never had a place here anyway.
Kag: I was just an unwanted guest squatting in a tiny space that I pried open for myself.
Kag: But before I knew it, those guys were squatting in my space.
Kag: They shamelessly made themselves at home without even paying any rent.
Kag: Turns out I was the one with unwanted guests.
Tam: Maybe that's what you call a real home.
Sign: Snack Oto
Tam: Even if you lose your house or your planet,
Tam: that place alone will remain strong and await your return.
Tam: It exists within us as well...
Tam: A place for you and everyone else to return.
Cat: Just know that my rent's higher than Otose-san's, though.
Tam: Same here.
Kag: That so?
Kag: Then I guess we'll all have to go out and earn that rent money.
Tam: Indeed.
Kag: But thanks to that, I can go wild until Edo is flattened.
Shin: The crucial battle was upon us.
Shin: While the Liberation Army isn't making any moves...
Kag: ...we must find the Tendoshu...
Shin: ...and defeat Utsuro.
Kag: Or else this planet has no future.
Shin: Gin-san suddenly went missing, and I'm worried about what he's up to.
Shin: I hope he's hit upon some kind of idea.
Gin: What? They're making a second live-action Gintama movie?
Gin: I had no idea this was decided while I was out in space.
Gin: "Oguri Shun returns in the role of Sakata Gintoki"?
Gin: Well, he barely passed with his long legs,
Gin: but they could've gone for a cute Johnny's idol for Gin-san, too—
Gin: Ow... What do you guys think you're doing to Oguri Shun's jaw?
Sign: Ueda Bookstore
Gin: Do you realize how many billions this jaw's gonna bring in again?
Shin: You're not Oguri Shun!
Shin: We thought you were looking for the Tendoshu! What are you doing?
Gin: Oh, shut it.
Gin: Even you ignored Earth last week and were Granbluing on a rooftop!
Shin: Granblue...
Shin: I wasn't Granbluing!
Shin: Even Granblue Masaki isn't making those ads anymore!
Shin: Sadaharu!
Gin: Oh, you're back? I've been waiting.
Shin: Gin-san, don't tell me...
Gin: To find the Tendoshu, we gotta investigate the bakufu.
Gin: They may hide, but they can't fool a dog's nose.
Shin: Look, he has something in his mouth.
Shin: Er, this is...
Gin: Jean-Claude...
Sad: Wan!
Gin: ...Damme, huh?
Shin: He's just requesting an actor!
Shin: You weren't satisfied with the CG?
Shin: You want Van Damme to play you? You want him to be Wan Damme?
Shin: Don't give me that!
Shin: Do you realize how many billions that "wan" is gonna cost us?!
Sign: Ueda Bookstore
Shin: Knock it off! Earth really will be destroyed!
Gin: What's this? You guys wanna request actors, too?
Gin: Sorry, but these days, they can add as many extras as they want with just CG—
Shin: Wait, Gin-san!
Shin: These people...
Shin: What's going on?
Kag: After the Liberation Army, we're fighting the public?
Gin: Nah, these guys aren't ordinary folk.
Gin: Ack! They're coming from the front, too!
Nob: Took you long enough.
Nob: I'd grown sick of waiting.
Shin: Nobume-san!
Nob: No. I'll take someone like Kuriyama Chiaki, please.
Shin: You too?!
Nob: By the way, those masses
Nob: aren't who you think.
Gin: Naraku?
Gin: Why are they disguised as townsfolk?
G: How long do we gotta twiddle our thumbs here?
G: Admiral Shijaku's orders.
G: He told us not to act unless the earthlings attack.
G: The brass wanna take over this planet too, right?
G: Then why wait around...
G: Hey, what's wrong?
G: Did a fish bite your d*ck?
G: H-Hey!
Nob: It's time
Nob: for the beginning of the end.
Nob: Utsuro's planet busting is about to start.
G: Have you lost your minds?
G: You're picking a fight with us?
G: Did you come here to die?
Uts: Precisely.
Uts: I am here to die...
Uts: Along with you all
Uts: and this planet.
Zen: Not exactly a great view.
Zen: Watching a country crumble from atop an empty castle doesn't feel good.
G: What's going on?
G: Just when the Liberation Army finally calms down, now the masses are rioting?
G: That is why I said to keep watch on them so they don't do anything stupid!
G: And who was going to do that?
G: Everyone ignored this national crisis and ran off somewhere!
G: Nobody even shows up to the meetings!
G: Even if everyone showed up, would anyone here be of use?
G: What was that? I shall cut you down!
G: Take responsibility and cut yourself first!
G: The earthlings did what?
G: An unidentified unit has att*cked our base on Earth.
G: We're fighting back, but they've already sunk two of our battleships.
G: We've lost many men, too.
G: This is bad.
G: You're the one who oversaw the riots and withdrew our troops,
G: Admiral Shijaku.
Nb: I'm sorry to ask so much of you.
Nb: But if you will stop your men, I promise to bring you the Tendoshu's heads.
Nb: If I can't keep that promise, I'm prepared to offer you my head as shogun.
Shi: Is that what "disembowelment" truly means?
Shi: Do you have a chance of winning, though?
Sak: If we don't take back our freedom with our own hands, it's pointless.
Sak: Besides, that's when our battle will truly begin.
Sak: Now that the Tendoshu's rule has weakened,
Sak: Altana has become a symbol of freedom that can destroy an entire planet.
Sak: And we'll all end up attainin' it.
Sak: If we succumb under the pressure of that "freedom,"
Sak: only destruction will await us in the future.
Sak: You and we both must fight...
Sak: Fight freedom and ourselves.
Shi: As they spoke those words, the look in their eyes wasn't that of puppets.
Shi: This incident couldn't have been caused by earthlings.
Shi: It's a trap laid by one who wishes to use the tensions between us to expand the w*r.
G: You're the one who fell for a trap! How could you let those apes talk you into...
En: You don't get it.
En: This universal w*r itself may be a trap laid by the Tendoshu.
En: That's what that man is saying.
En: If you want someone to blame, blame me for starting this w*r.
G: Prince Ensho...
Shi: I didn't say that.
Shi: Both your appearance and your words lack subtlety.
En: Look who's talking. You're former royalty who is acting as a mercenary.
Shi: Don't lump me in with you.
Shi: I cast away my homeland and my royalty and gave all I had to the b*ttlefield.
Shi: I rose up with you all because I felt this w*r had just cause.
Shi: But those earthlings said that
Shi: freedom without responsibility would only lead to destruction.
Shi: Ensho, it may be our responsibility to stop this w*r.
G: What? Stop this w*r?!
En: Is the situation that grave, Shijaku?
En: Are you saying the Tendoshu destroyed those planets in a bid to start this w*r?
En: Do you mean they're trying to make the world self-destruct?
Shi: Ensho, I've arranged a secret meeting.
Shi: At this point, we cannot resolve this situation without their cooperation.
Shi: You can hear the details straight from their mouths.
En: Is that so?
En: Actually, there's someone I wish to introduce to you in secret, too.
Shi: Introduce to me? Who is it?
En: Do you remember the day when I first turned tail from the b*ttlefield?
En: That day, I swore to take down the Tendoshu, who took everything from me,
En: and take their heads to my wife and child no matter what.
En: Everyone gathered here is like me.
En: They had their countries or families taken from them,
En: swore revenge, and started this w*r.
En: If it were to end here, what do you think is to become of their smoldering hatred?
En: Where will all our sorrow go?
Shi: Ensho...
En: A recon team sent to Earth found a shipwreck one month ago.
En: The investigation revealed it to belong to a certain group of people.
En: Shijaku, this w*r cannot end.
En: Because...
En: It's already over.
En: Let me introduce you.
En: They are our archenemies, the Tendoshu.
Shi: I-Impossible! What happened to them?
En: They're alive.
En: Or, well, perhaps it'd be better to say that they cannot die.
Shi: If the Tendoshu are in this state, who is attacking our base?
En: It doesn't matter who,
En: as long as they're enemies who are willing to be targets for our hate.
Shi: Ensho, you...
En: Shijaku,
En: the Liberation Army needs an enemy.
En: If everything is already over, there won't be an end for us.
En: In that case, the w*r simply need not end.
En: That way...
En: We can keep fighting.
En: We can keep hating.
En: I can stay on the b*ttlefield.
En: Throw him in a cell.
En: And tell our troops
En: that we will crush the rioters and take over Earth.
Gin: That's Utsuro's plan?
Gin: He wants to use the Liberation Army to engulf Edo in the flames of w*r?
Nob: And also to eliminate you people who stand in his way.
Shin: Does that mean Katsura-san and the others' negotiations were all in vain?
Nob: We knew things would come to this eventually.
Nob: Utsuro isn't the only one who wants a w*r.
Nob: And they aren't the only ones who must fight to obtain an ending.
Gin: Please don't tell me that includes you.
Nob: Who knows? At the very least, I'm thankful for this situation.
Nob: I finally caught a glimpse of the elusive Utsuro's tail.
Nob: If he was to show up anywhere,
Nob: it'd be here, the most dangerous and hard-to-crack spot.
Shin: The Liberation Army's troops have been wiped out!
Kag: Not just them. The Naraku, too.
Shin: They fought to the death to take down the enemy?
Nob: To Utsuro, there are no allies or enemies. Only tools.
Gin: Looks like I'm just like you, too.
Gin: If I don't fight...
Gin: If I don't defeat him,
Gin: there's no ending for me.
Gin: Not unless I take you out!
Nb: What is the meaning of this?
En: If you're the kind of foolish leader who can't understand that,
En: it is understandable that your country would fall.
En: You earthlings are the ones who ignored our ceasefire and took aim at us first.
En: Die, together with the Tendoshu.
Sak: I see.
Sak: If you're the kind of foolish leader who can't understand the Tendoshu set that up,
Sak: your army will die, too.
Sak: But if you're doin' this while fully aware of that, there's still hope for you.
Sak: Surrender before the samurai unsheathe their swords.
En: I see Shijaku was right. You have guts and a way with words, if nothing else.
En: But rest assured.
En: There won't be a w*r.
En: It'll all be over before you can look up at the sky and blink.
En: This is but a ritual sacrifice.
En: Those sticks you call swords
En: won't reach anywhere.
Gin: Th-These guys... Could they be...
Shin: Immortal?
Gin: Utsuro, you bastard. You gave them your blood?
Uts: Yes, although they are fakes made using a few drops.
Uts: Is it painful?
Uts: But that too will end soon.
Uts: It's all too late. For everything.
Uts: Will you withdraw your sword and wait to die with the planet,
Uts: or will you use it to fight me and die right here?
Uts: You're free to choose.
Gin: Then...
Gin: I'll use this sword to crush both you and the Liberation Army!

Shi: Ensho, I've arranged a secret meeting.
Shi: At this point, we cannot resolve this situation without their cooperation.
Shi: You can hear the details straight from their mouths.
En: Is that so?
En: Actually, there's someone I wish to introduce to you in secret, too.
Shi: Introduce to me? Who is it?
En: Do you remember the day when I first turned tail from the b*ttlefield?
En: That day, I swore to take down the Tendoshu, who took everything from me,
En: and take their heads to my wife and child no matter what.
En: Everyone gathered here is like me.
En: They had their countries or families taken from them,
En: swore revenge, and started this w*r.
En: If it were to end here, what do you think is to become of their smoldering hatred?
En: Where will all our sorrow go?
Shi: Ensho...
En: A recon team sent to Earth found a shipwreck one month ago.
En: The investigation revealed it to belong to a certain group of people.
En: Shijaku, this w*r cannot end.
En: Because...
En: It's already over.
En: Let me introduce you.
En: They are our archenemies, the Tendoshu.
Shi: I-Impossible! What happened to them?
En: They're alive.
En: Or, well, perhaps it'd be better to say that they cannot die.
Shi: If the Tendoshu are in this state, who is attacking our base?
En: It doesn't matter who,
En: as long as they're enemies who are willing to be targets for our hate.
Shi: Ensho, you...
En: Shijaku,
En: the Liberation Army needs an enemy.
En: If everything is already over, there won't be an end for us.
En: In that case, the w*r simply need not end.
En: That way...
En: We can keep fighting.
En: We can keep hating.
En: I can stay on the b*ttlefield.
En: Throw him in a cell.
En: And tell our troops
En: that we will crush the rioters and take over Earth.
Gin: That's Utsuro's plan?
Gin: He wants to use the Liberation Army to engulf Edo in the flames of w*r?
Nob: And also to eliminate you people who stand in his way.
Shin: Does that mean Katsura-san and the others' negotiations were all in vain?
Nob: We knew things would come to this eventually.
Nob: Utsuro isn't the only one who wants a w*r.
Nob: And they aren't the only ones who must fight to obtain an ending.
Gin: Please don't tell me that includes you.
Nob: Who knows? At the very least, I'm thankful for this situation.
Nob: I finally caught a glimpse of the elusive Utsuro's tail.
Nob: If he was to show up anywhere,
Nob: it'd be here, the most dangerous and hard-to-crack spot.
Shin: The Liberation Army's troops have been wiped out!
Kag: Not just them. The Naraku, too.
Shin: They fought to the death to take down the enemy?
Nob: To Utsuro, there are no allies or enemies. Only tools.
Gin: Looks like I'm just like you, too.
Gin: If I don't fight...
Gin: If I don't defeat him,
Gin: there's no ending for me.
Gin: Not unless I take you out!
Nb: What is the meaning of this?
En: If you're the kind of foolish leader who can't understand that,
En: it is understandable that your country would fall.
En: You earthlings are the ones who ignored our ceasefire and took aim at us first.
En: Die, together with the Tendoshu.
Sak: I see.
Sak: If you're the kind of foolish leader who can't understand the Tendoshu set that up,
Sak: your army will die, too.
Sak: But if you're doin' this while fully aware of that, there's still hope for you.
Sak: Surrender before the samurai unsheathe their swords.
En: I see Shijaku was right. You have guts and a way with words, if nothing else.
En: But rest assured.
En: There won't be a w*r.
En: It'll all be over before you can look up at the sky and blink.
En: This is but a ritual sacrifice.
En: Those sticks you call swords
En: won't reach anywhere.
Gin: Th-These guys... Could they be...
Shin: Immortal?
Gin: Utsuro, you bastard. You gave them your blood?
Uts: Yes, although they are fakes made using a few drops.
Uts: Is it painful?
Uts: But that too will end soon.
Uts: It's all too late. For everything.
Uts: Will you withdraw your sword and wait to die with the planet,
Uts: or will you use it to fight me and die right here?
Uts: You're free to choose.
Gin: Then...
Gin: I'll use this sword to crush both you and the Liberation Army!

Nob: I'll secure an escape route. Run away.
Zen: This country's done for.
Zen: You only have one job now.
Gin: The guy in front of me is nothing but a villain.
