Posted: 12/05/23 11:30
Warning: Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!!!!!
Shin: He's alive?
Shin: What are you talking about, Okita-san?
Shin: Don't tell me...
Shin: You mean...
Oki: Utsuro.
Oki: Yoshida Shoyo.
Oki: Nah.
Oki: He might've taken a completely different form that's neither of them now,
Oki: but he's still alive.

Shin: When did you know that he wasn't dead yet?
Gin: I knew all along.
Gin: Back then, he willingly threw himself into the ley line.
Gin: But he was born from Altana anyway.
Gin: So it'd be no surprise if he came back reborn from some part of it.
Gin: To top it off, I heard what he said.
Uts: Humans.
Uts: This isn't the end.
Uts: You have gone and chosen...
Uts: An endless w*r,
Uts: and a life dyed in sorrow and suffering.
Uts: Nobody can save your teacher anymore.
Gin: He tried to end the world.
Gin: We managed to stop that,
Gin: but we couldn't manage to save our teacher.
Gin: So I went back to being alone.
Gin: Not a member of Odd Jobs, but just a student again.
Gin: I found something I needed to do as Shoka Sonjuku's Sakata Gintoki.
Ane: Investigate all the gates?
Ane: But why?
Mone: Gates are spiritual points where energy from the ley lines gushes out to the surface.
Mone: They differ in size and are scattered all across the world.
Mone: Not even we, the priestesses of the Golden Dragon, know about all of them.
Mone: And you want to go around checking every single one?
Mone: We've worshiped that gate for generations.
Mone: As such, we've witnessed strange happenings in these lands every now and then.
Mone: But that one stood out among them all.
Mone: At first, we thought it was an animal corpse.
Mone: But within a few days,
Mone: it began taking a different form.
Mone: But that, um... What do I even call it?
Mone: I'm not the least bit certain.
Mone: Is this child human?
Gin: I couldn't put an end to it.
Gin: I don't know if he knew how I felt or not.
Gin: He just grew rapidly in the blink of an eye.
Gin: Not only did he never talk to me, but he never even expressed any will or desire.
Gin: He just quietly followed me,
Gin: no matter where I went.
Gin: Sheesh.
Gin: Can't you at least ask for help?
Gin: Actually, I guess I'm the one being unfathomable here.
Gin: I feel like I'm raising a final boss.
Sho: You have to grow stronger than me using your own sword.
Gin: Is this how you used to feel, Shoyo?
Sho: No, I don't think so.
Sho: Compared to how you were as a kid,
Sho: I was a much cuter, much better boy, wasn't I?
Gin: Shoyo?
Gin: Are you... Shoyo?
Sho: Shoyo? That sounds so nostalgic.
Sho: I've been called many, many names and have lived just as many lives.
Sho: But of those countless old names, I remembered just this one.
Sho: That's who I am.
Sho: You're the one who made me remember, Gintoki.
Sho: So I want to tell you while I still can...
Sho: Entrust you with this while I'm still myself.
Sho: Gintoki, I...
Sho: Good grief.
Sho: It seems we have some unwanted visitors.
Sho: I'm sorry,
Sho: but I won't let you have him.
Sho: This is my heart right now.
Sho: Utsuro... We must not be left to roam free in this world.
Sho: I entrust it to you.
Sho: I'm sorry I caused you trouble to the very end.
Sho: And I'm truly happy to have met you again...
Gin: Utsuro lost his body in the battle two years ago.
Gin: But the massive amount of Altana within him
Gin: combined with the Altana he fell into and regenerated his body.
Gin: So now that I have this, Utsuro will never come back to life again.
Gin: Looks like the remnants of the Naraku were working behind the scenes to bring him back,
Gin: but he stopped them by gouging out his own heart and giving it to me.
Gin: I spent these past two years wandering everywhere, trying to save him.
Gin: But in the end, he had to go and save me yet again.
Tak: What exactly is the salvation you speak of?
Tak: Putting an end to Sensei and Utsuro as he wished?
Tak: If so, why carry that around like it's some precious treasure?
Tak: Maybe it's your resolve that's wavering and wandering.
Tak: Then why not just give it back to Utsuro?
Gin: Takasugi, you...
Tak: Not a bad idea if it means we can see Sensei again, right?
Tak: Though it'll be a gamble on whether he or Utsuro shows up.
Gin: What's wrong with you?!
Tak: Don't get so worked up.
Tak: I don't intend to take that gamble. There's no need.
Gin: Huh? What do you mean?
Tak: Why bring him back to life?
Tak: His body's still alive.
Tak: After you received his heart, the Naraku took Utsuro's body back.
Tak: It's in an inanimate state, but that's probably more convenient for them.
Gin: Convenient?
Gin: Weren't they coming for the heart so they could bring Utsuro back?
Tak: Nope.
Tak: I don't know about the Naraku,
Tak: but the people controlling them...
Gin: Wait, you mean...
Gin: Takasugi, you...
Gin: How'd your body end up like that?
Gin: What did you see, and where?
Gin: What did you learn?
Gin: Takasugi, you...
Gin: How'd your body end up like that?
Gin: What did you see, and where?
Gin: What did you learn?
Tak: I'm sorry.
Tak: I don't think I can take your ashes back to the Shoka Sonjuku.
Tak: Before I drop dead, there's something else I need to do.
Tak: I must destroy them, if nobody else!
Ten: To think there'd still be someone who'd point such eyes at us.
Ten: Right now, we have no power.
Ten: We can't even die.
Tak: So what?
Tak: My left eye knows...
Tak: What you did,
Tak: and what it is I must do.
Tak: If you don't know how to die, I'll teach you.
U: How cruel is that?
U: They were no more than pawns.
U: The one who really cursed you students and your teacher to this fate
U: was me, was it not?
U: If you must k*ll someone, k*ll me.
U: But the seeds I have sown are already spreading across the country.
U: You're going to die soon.
U: Do you really have the time to weed out all of them?
U: This is the path you humans chose.
U: The suffering won't end.
U: The sorrow won't end.
U: You have made another terrible mistake.
U: Your enemy
U: is yourselves!
G: All right! Carry them out!
G: Hurry up! The ship's gonna crash!
G: Get a move on!
Tak: Stop it.
Tak: That power can't be allowed to survive.
Tak: It's too much for people to handle.
Tak: Are you trying to start the cycle again?
Tak: Are you going to make Sensei suffer even more?
Tak: Am I going to fail
Tak: to save him once again?
Tak: Move...
Tak: Move!
Tak: Please, give me just a bit more time!
Tak: Lend me your strength, senior student,
Tak: so that we may save our teacher!
Tak: I had no proof.
Tak: But I felt no panic or hesitation, either.
Tak: Our senior, and our teacher's blood, helped me stand there once more,
Tak: and I knew the reason all too well.
Tak: The fact that I stayed alive by taking in the ashes was practically a miracle.
Tak: But this body's regenerative abilities have already weakened,
Tak: and it's starting to fall apart.
Tak: I don't have much time left.
Tak: But thanks to that,
Tak: I've now become able to do what I really want to.

Shi: My earthling friends...
Shi: We must never make the same mistake again.
Shi: These past two years, I've done all I can to make sure we don't.
Shi: But perhaps we had already overlooked something crucial back then...
Shi: The seeds of calamity that are sprouting today.
Kat: It happened again?
Shi: Yeah.
Shi: They've all been major t*rror1st incidents.
Shi: And a huge amount of Altana was stolen in each one.
Shi: Each was caused by residents of the planet on which it occurred.
Shi: People with no links to one another
Shi: suddenly teamed up one day, committed terrorism, and k*lled themselves.
Shi: But there's one thing we've learned while investigating their backgrounds.
Kat: Are you talking about this?
Shi: Katsura, you...
Kat: One need only look at history to know.
Kat: Any time chaos engulfs the world, people always turn to religion.
Kat: The idol they worship is the phoenix...
Kat: In other words, immortality.
Kat: It's spreading across Edo, too.
Shi: That w*r was a major reason the spread was so wide and so quick.
Shi: People wanted to get back the family and friends they had lost.
Shi: And the religion worshiping immortality sucked them all in.
Shi: It was all started by some Liberation Army members taking immortal blood with them.
Tak: I spent these past two years pursuing them.
Tak: Utsuro's blood had scattered across the world,
Tak: and I wanted to destroy it all.
Tak: But the seeds had already begun sprouting.
Tak: They've started to understand how to use the immortal blood.
Shi: The remnants of the Tendoshu used that power as bait to rapidly gain massive power.
Shi: They said, "Believe in us, and you will gain immortality."
Shi: And they need one last key to open that door...
Kat: The reborn Utsuro, huh?
Tak: They're trying to find the recipe for all-encompassing immortality,
Tak: and that heart you have is the crux of their research.
Tak: So you and I were both working toward the same goal in different places, huh?
Tak: We worried, hesitated,
Tak: and in the end,
Tak: we couldn't change a thing.
Tak: But isn't that enough?
Tak: Sensei and you have suffered more than enough.
Tak: If you wanna save him, go ahead.
Tak: You can do that now.
Tak: Let's just go save what we couldn't back then.
Tak: Let's save Sensei from them and his cursed fate.
Tak: This time for sure!
Gin: Where is Shoyo's body now?
Gin: Where is this boat headed?
Tak: Edo.
Tak: Their next target is Edo.
Shi: What's going on?
Kat: Run, Shijaku!
Kat: I didn't expect them to attack me first!
Kat: Immortality technology will require massive amounts of Altana,
Kat: so surely they want Earth's Altana for themselves.
Shi: You've figured out that much?
Kat: Part of the reason I took this crazy position
Kat: was to control the cabinet, spread a net to every corner of the country,
Kat: pick up any movements related to Utsuro, and to prepare for it all.
Kat: That was my own way of doing the right thing.
Kat: Shijaku, take a different route to escape!
Kat: And if I don't return,
Kat: take care of Princess Soyo and the new government!
Shi: Katsura?!
Shi: Wait, Katsura!
Kat: Fret not, Nobunobu.
Kat: I know that when I die, the country dies with me.
Kat: Do you really think I succeeded you shoguns without being ready for that?
Kat: Behold from up there in heaven...
Kat: what this country and its prime minister are capable of!
Kat: Let's roll!
Oki: Katsura!
Shi: Wait, who are you?!
Shi: The enemy's not who I expected at all!
Shi: What's worse, most of them are coming my way!
Shi: Is this how you do things?!
Kag: What are you gonna do, Pachi-boy?
Kag: He said Utsuro's still alive,
Kag: and that he needs to find Gin-chan, so he wants our help.
Kag: It's not like we know where he is now, either.
Shi: If Utsuro's alive, Gin-san must've already made his move.
Shi: Actually, that's probably why he left Edo in the first place.
Kag: To k*ll him again?
Shin: I don't know.
Shin: But maybe Gin-san didn't know, either.
Shin: What would I do?
Shin: If someone dear to me from the very bottom of my heart
Shin: became an enemy of the world,
Shin: would I fight them to protect the world?
Shin: Or would I believe in them, even if it turned the whole world against me?
Shin: I don't know.
Shin: But there's one thing I do know I'd want...
Shin: I'd want to see them again.
