Kada: Odds or evens...?
Kamui: I'll go with evens.
Kada: Odds...
Kamui: Oops.
Kamui: I lost.
Abuto: Tragic.
Abuto: The captain of the Harusame's th Squad
Abuto: was once considered a lone flower in the darkness,
Abuto: but after losing out in a grab for power,
Abuto: she stole money from the group and disappeared.
Abuto: I never expected her to come back like this.
Kamui: No kidding.
Kamui: I never expected you to be a sucker for a vixen like her.
Abuto: Kids wouldn't understand.
Abuto: We live in an age where everything
fits in the palm of your hand.
Abuto: But you want a woman who isn't so easy to hold on to.
Kamui: Like a DS?
Abuto: She's more like a Genesis.
Kamui: I see.
Kamui: No wonder it was so hard to find her.
Kamui: We're talking about your beloved Genesis here.
Kamui: But it looks like she couldn't fit in down there either.
Kamui: She gambled and lost.
Kamui: And so did you.
Abuto: Hey!
Abuto: Don't jump to conclusions.
Abuto: I'm not like a certain stupid captain.
Abuto: I don't let my emotions get in the way of my work.
Kamui: Yeah, yeah.
Abuto: Besides, she changed her face
and name when she escaped to Earth.
Abuto: How was I supposed to recognize her?
Kamui: Yeah, yeah.
Abuto: And I'm a Nintendo fan, not a Sega fan!
Abuto: You listening?!
Kamui: Oh well.
Kamui: I was interested in seeing the
exalted team work of the Shinra,
Kamui: but they were just a bunch of grunts
who stood no chance one-on-one against a Yato.
Kamui: Wouldn't be much of a fight.
Kamui: Anyway, they stole my glory again.
Kamui: We should go show our gratitude.
Kamui: To the samurai.
Odds or Evens
Kamui: Shinsuke Takasugi?
Aho: You haven't heard of him?
Aho: He signed a pact with us.
Aho: He's the leader of the mercenary group known as the Kiheitai.
Kamui: Are they from Earth?
Aho: They're samurai, I think.
Aho: The remnants of those savages
who resisted until the very end
Aho: when we opened up their land.
Kamui: Admiral Assho--
Kamui: I mean, Admiral Abo.
He must be very special for you to remember his name.
Aho: He only cooperates with us
when our interests happen to coincide,
Aho: but he can be very useful.
Aho: You could consider them the Harusame's enforcers on Earth.
Aho: They were responsible for hunting down that vixen.
Kamui: Oh, really?
Aho: However, there is one issue that concerns me.
Aho: I've heard that they are actually
Aho: a t*rror1st group which seeks to
unseat the government of Edo.
Aho: But when we struck a deal
with the central ward which
allowed us to sneak into Edo,
Aho: they offered to draw the government's trained dogs
away from us.
Aho: Do you know why?
Kamui: That's easy.
Kamui: Each side is using the other,
Kamui: so they're using the Harusame
Kamui: to get close to the Bakufu and
take down the central ward.
Aho: What?! Really?!
Aho: I mean, you're absolutely right!
Aho: They're plotting terrible things!
Aho: Yes, I knew all along!
Aho: S-So that's how it was...
Aho: Damn!
Kamui: We finally obtained the right to
strip Earth of its valuable resources.
Kamui: If they succeed, we'll lose all our business there.
Kamui: Well, I doubt that Takasugi person
stands a chance against the Tendo or the elders,
Kamui: but he can probably crush our forces.
Aho: I-If that happens, the elders will have my hide!
Kamui: That's true.
Kamui: Well, do the best you can.
Kamui: Thanks for the food!
Aho: W-Wait, Kamui!
Aho: Why do you think I summoned you here?!
Kamui: For a free meal?
Aho: No!
Aho: The th Squad is responsible for cleaning up our messes!
Kamui: So what do you want me to do?
Aho: Dispose of the tools that we no longer need.
Koro: Good grief.
Koro: Strong words, coming from a tool that never had any use but as a decoration.
Koro: This place would be much more
comfortable if we disposed of that pig.
Kamui: Aren't you both four-legged creatures?
Kamui: Can't you get along, Captain Koro?
Koro: Kamui...
Koro: You have the backing of
the captains of the twelve squads.
Koro: We're ready to throw our support
behind you at a moment's notice.
Koro: Admiral assh*le is just a puppet for the elders.
Koro: All he cares about is his own safety.
Koro: I wanna work for someone who will let me run wild.
Abuto: Then why don't you take control, Koro?
Koro: I can't lead.
Koro: I just want to go crazy and not have to think.
Abuto: You sound just like our boss.
Koro: Besides, I have an eyepatch over one eye
Koro: and a hook instead of a hand.
Koro: I'm not captain material.
Abuto: No, you're the spitting image of a captain.
Abuto: You're clearly gunning to be the captain.
Koro: Anyway, I'm willing to lend you a hand.
Koro: If you're gonna take down that Takasugi fool, count me in.
Kamui: Don't interfere.
Kamui: I finally found myself another samurai.
Kamui: Abuto, isolate Takasugi from his minions.
Kamui: Take the fleet and wipe out his men.
Kamui: Captain Koro, you're free to help out there.
Abuto: Here we go again...
Kamui: Sorry, but I won't let anyone ruin my fun.
Matako: I can't stand space.
Matako: It's so dark everywhere.
Matako: Can't tell if we're moving forward or backward.
Matako: Lord Shinsuke, are we moving forward right now?
Matako: Sorry about sounding so whiny.
Matako: I've been getting worried.
Takasugi: Doesn't matter which way we're going.
Takasugi: If you get lost,
Takasugi: just follow my lead.
Takasugi: Whether you're deep underground or far above the clouds,
Takasugi: I promise to take you to our goal.
Takasugi: There's no need to worry
Takasugi: as long as you believe in me.
Matako: L-Lord Shinsuke!
Matako: I... I'll follow you to hell and back!
Takasugi: We share the same goal.
Takasugi: Let us march on.
Takasugi: Now sign this petition.
Takasugi: We oppose the
Greater Edo Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths!
Takasugi: Before you try to regulate free speech,
you should learn to regulate your own heart!
Takasugi: Pedophilia predates manga and anime!
Takasugi: Is it not our goal to foster a culture of acceptance?!
Takasugi: Incidentally, I'm not a pedophile. I'm a feminist.
Matako: Bansai-senpai.
Matako: Where's Lord Shinsuke?
Bansai: He stayed behind on the mothership
Bansai: because the admiral needed him for something.
Bansai: We're supposed to return to Edo without him.
Matako: Needed him for what?
Bansai: Well, I haven't the slightest idea.
Matako: I have a bad feeling about this.
Matako: Was it a mistake to join forces with the Harusame?
Bansai: Why are you saying this now?
Bansai: We will defeat the Bakufu and rebuild the world.
Bansai: Didn't you agree to the plan?
Matako: But we're out of our league...
Matako: The Kiheitai aren't on the same level as a
galactic crime syndicate.
Matako: Soon enough, we'll become their pawns.
Matako: The way things stand,
we've sunken to the level of the
Amanto-ass-kissing Bakufu.
Matako: Besides, now that the Bakufu and Harusame
are working together,
Matako: we've become a liability.
Matako: What if Lord Shinsuke is...
Bansai: So in other words, you're worried about Shinsuke?
Bansai: Don't worry.
Bansai: That man won't fall before the Bakufu does.
Bansai: Did you forget the promise he made?
Takasugi: I'll simply destroy...
Takasugi: ...the Greater Edo Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths!
Matako: Don't mess up my memories!
Matako: Die!
Matako: We'll destroy you first!
A: Master Bansai!
A: There's a Harusame fleet ahead of us!
Bansai: What? Do they truly intend to eliminate us?!
Matako: L-Lord Shinsuke!
Kamui: Hey.
Kamui: So we meet again.
Kamui: Sorry about cutting straight to the chase,
Kamui: but either way, you're going to be surprised when I say this.
Kamui: Please die.
Takasugi: That's not much of a surprise.
Takasugi: It was obvious from the moment I first saw you.
Kamui: You're sharp.
Kamui: You see, I've been dying to fight a samurai
from the moment I first saw one.
Kamui: And you kind of smell the same
as that other samurai.
Takasugi: What a coincidence.
Takasugi: I've been dying to k*ll that stupid samurai
with the silver hair.
Kamui: You must have super powers or something.
Kamui: Is there a secret behind that left eye of yours?
Koro: Kamui!
Kamui: I told you not to interfere.
Koro: I won't interfere.
Kamui: Huh?
Koro: Kamui, we're here to k*ll you.
Abuto: Did I miss a message or something?
Abuto: Nobody ever mentioned that
we were up against such a big family.
Aho: You Yato are too dangerous.
Aho: A blade that's too sharp will attract many foes, Kamui.
Kamui: You got me good.
Kamui: Never expected Admiral assh*le to pull a fast one on me.
Takasugi: I'll k*ll that idiot for you.
Takasugi: So feel free to rest in peace.
A: Vice-captain!
A: There's a Harusame fleet behind the Kiheitai!
A: It's Captain Koro's th Squad,
A: along with the admiral's personal fleet!
Abuto: Looks like we were tricked.
Bansai: Wh-What's going on?
Matako: The Harusame are fighting each other?
Takechi: There's no need to worry, folks.
Takechi: Everything is going according to plan.
Matako: Takechi-senpai...
Takechi: That is the Harusame's th Squad.
Takechi: The strongest Harusame force, drawn from
the elite ranks of the Yato, the warrior tribe.
Takechi: Their leader, the brilliant Lord Kamui,
is more highly regarded than the admiral now.
Takechi: The squad captains are looking to overthrow the admiral
Takechi: and name Lord Kamui as their leader.
Bansai: So by that reasoning,
Bansai: that fool of an admiral
intends to eliminate the th Squad,
which threatens his position?
Takechi: Exactly.
Takechi: We were used as bait to isolate and crush the th Squad,
the strongest of them all.
Matako: So we're being used by the Harusame again?
Takechi: It's easier for us to take advantage
of that useless admiral.
Bansai: But still...
Bansai: Destroying your own fangs to hold onto your position...
Bansai: There are always more fools
when an organization begins to grow.
Aho: Friend Takasugi, that was an excellent job!
Aho: There are no longer any rogue elements to oppose me!
Aho: You also performed admirably, Koro.
Koro: No, Admiral Assho...
Admiral Abo.
Koro: I was simply performing my duty as one of
the squad captains.
Koro: Now that Kamui has been made an example of,
Koro: the captains who supported Kamui will come
to their senses and swear fealty to you.
Takasugi: It was kind of a waste.
Aho: Hm?
Takasugi: That kid took enough poison to
instantly leave an elephant incapacitated,
Takasugi: but he was able to fend off my blade
Takasugi: while smiling the entire time.
Takasugi: And he managed to k*ll off
twenty or so of your men, despite his injuries.
Takasugi: I have a feeling that his absence
will be far more damaging
Takasugi: than what he did to your men.
Aho: It doesn't matter.
Aho: Your Kiheitai can fill the void he's left behind.
Takasugi: Sorry, but I'll pass.
Takasugi: It's better to be the head of a cat than the tail of a lion.
Takasugi: I'd rather be a bandit chief than a pirate or bigwig.
Takasugi: Besides, I'm not giving up the Kiheitai name.
Aho: Allow me to compensate you...
Takasugi: I don't need anything.
Takasugi: Let's keep it simple, just like before.
Koro: Be careful.
Koro: He's harder to read than Kamui was.
Aho: I know.
Aho: No more fooling around.
Kada: Odds or evens, odds or evens...?
Takasugi: Odds.
Kada: Too bad...
Kada: Evens...
Kamui: Oops, now it's your turn to die.
Kamui: That gambler's cursed.
Kamui: If you lose, you run out of luck.
Kamui: I lost, so I know what I'm talking about.
Takasugi: Coming from a monster who doesn't die when k*lled...
Kamui: They patched me up and spared my life
Kamui: so I could be ex*cuted in front of the others, right?
Kamui: When's the big day?
Takasugi: In three days.
Kamui: Three days...
Kamui: I wonder which one of us will die first.
Kamui: I'm sure you've figured it out already.
Kamui: The people here only care about themselves.
Kamui: Doesn't matter how hard you work.
Kamui: They'll just abuse you as much as they can
Kamui: before they get rid of you.
Takasugi: True.
Takasugi: I would prefer to be used by someone
who isn't so pathetic.
Takasugi: Those sharp fangs of yours will only rot in this place.
Kamui: Why did you come here?
Takasugi: I'm the same as you.
Takasugi: Searching for a place to use my sharpened fangs.
Takasugi: But this leaky boat won't take me anywhere.
Takasugi: I'd rather hitch a ride on your ship.
Takasugi: See ya, space fighter.
B: I don't see how the admiral took out the th Squad...
B: Did he have help from the elders?
A: No, I heard that the idea came from Takasugi of the Kiheitai.
B: It's a sad story.
B: Those guys worked their asses off for the Harusame.
A: Nobody's doing jack for the sake of the Harusame.
A: If someone is in the way, you eliminate them.
A: That's how it goes in the Harusame.
Aho: Men, take a long, hard look!
Aho: This is what happens to those who defy my authority!
Aho: When you cross me, you cross the elders!
Aho: When you cross the elders, you cross the Harusame!
Aho: When there is no order,
a battle-hardened army will be reduced to a headless mob!
C: How can he say that crap with a straight face?
Aho: Kamui, do you have any last words?
Kamui: Can I say something real quick?
Aho: Yes.
Kamui: Admiral assh*le!
Aho: k*ll him! k*ll him now!
Takasugi: Hold on, Admiral Assho--
Takasugi: Admiral Abo.
Takasugi: Will you allow me to k*ll him?
Aho: Huh?
Takasugi: Unfortunately, I never had the chance to fight him one-on-one,
Takasugi: but I can at least serve as the executioner.
Koro: On my signal, jump Takasugi.
Takasugi: Our luck ran out when I got on this leaky boat.
Kamui: You're saying that we share the same fight, Earth fighter?
Takasugi: Who knows?
Takasugi: All I know is that neither of us will be doing any sightseeing.
Kamui: Sure we will.
Kamui: Down in hell.
Takasugi: You bet.
Takasugi: Have a nice nap in hell,
Takasugi: leaky boat crew.
Aho: Wh-What?!
Kamui: I told you so.
Kamui: That gambler's cursed.
Kamui: I wanted to see which one of us would die first,
Kamui: but you're trying to get us k*lled together?
Takasugi: It's more fun to dance
with a batshit crazy idiot than a plain old idiot.
Kamui: Samurai are a blast.
Aho: Takasugi!
Aho: You're nothing more than tools that are no longer needed!
Aho: I'll turn you into spacedust!
Takasugi: You're the one who's no longer needed.
Takasugi: Didn't you hear me?
Takasugi: I'm the executioner here,
Takasugi: the only executioner needed in this place.
Takasugi: Off with your heads.
Matako: Lord Shinsuke!
Matako: This is how the Joi do it!
Matako: I'll follow you to hell and back!
Takechi: Are you insane?!
Takechi: You believe that we stand a chance against the Harusame?
Takechi: We should be focusing our resources
Takechi: on the Greater Edo Ordinance Reg...
Bansai: You'd have to be insane...
Bansai: ...to pick a fight with the rest of the world!
Aho: Accursed monkeys!
Aho: What are you doing?!
Aho: Crush them!
Koro: What?!
Abuto: Oh?
Abuto: I rowed out here because I was worried,
Abuto: but you're looking better than usual.
Abuto: Blockhead.
Aho: The th Squad!
Aho: Impossible!
Aho: Why are they alive?!
Koro: Admiral!
Koro: Bad news!
Koro: Now that the th Squad is back,
Koro: the other squads are beginning to side with them!
Koro: Th-The tables have been reversed.
Koro: Huh?
Koro: Admiral!
Aho: C-Curse you, Kamui, Takasugi!
Aho: You won't get away with this!
Koro: A-Admiral!
Koro: Why are you running away by yourself?!
Koro: Take me with you, Admiral assh*le!
Aho: Ah! You finally said it!
Aho: I kept pretending that I didn't hear you, but you finally said it to my face!
Aho: You're a dead man!
Aho: Get this ship moving!
Aho: What are you doing?!
Koro: Shut up!
Koro: My men always do the work, so I have no idea what to do!
Aho: Don't you have a hook on your hand?!
Aho: You're supposed to be a captain!
Koro: You're supposed to be an admiral!
Koro: Huh?
Koro: H-Hey!
Koro: What's that?!
Aho: Ka-Kamui!
Kamui: It's not Kamui, Admiral assh*le.
Kamui: Starting today,
Kamui: I'm Admiral Nincompoop.
Kamui: I owe you big now.
Kamui: Oh well.
Kamui: Guess I'll have to put off our fight for a while.
Kamui: Besides, I'm looking forward to touring hell with you.
Kamui: Now, where do we start?
Kamui: I'm guessing the planet of samurai?
Kada: Odds or evens, odds or evens...?
Takasugi: Evens.
Kada: Too bad...
Kada: Odds...
