HB : They say this planet is % water.
HB : That makes us all inmates, locked up in the floating confinements we call islands.
HB : Moreover, we're also held c*ptive by country, society, family, friends, and lovers—
HB : all manner of prisons...
HB : Sometimes of our own choosing.
HB : Deep down, we wish to be prisoners.
HB : We know that we cannot survive being free,
HB : because it is an incredibly empty and miserable feeling.
HB : And for that very reason, we yearn for freedom,
HB : as we would a treasure in an adventure tale, one no man can obtain in reality.
HB : To live is to continually be shackled by something.
HB : So the only way to grant Kondo Isao true freedom
HB : is to let him be ex*cuted—
Hij: So what, you're here to get in our way?
Hij: You want to be set free, hard-boiled style?
HB : Vice Chief!
HB : Enough with the dumb and dumber routine.
HB : Change into this already.
Title: Farewell Shinsengumi Arc Part Four
Title: Prison Break
HB : Only the most heinous of criminals enter,
Warning,Sign: Watch the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
HB : and only corpses leave.
HB : Like Gokumon Island, it's a prison known as a living hell...
HB : Kokujo Island.
HB : This is the only way to infiltrate the place.
Sign R,Sign: Basically, we'll sneak in by blending in with the prisoners.
Hij: You're not blending in with anyone!
Hij: Never mind prisoners, could you try to blend in with humans first?
Sign M,Sign: This is why I told you to switch to a notebook. A placard is too conspicuous.
Hij: That's not the issue here!
Sign R,Sign: This is why I told you to switch to a notebook. A placard is too conspicuous.
Sign L,: Why should I?! You match me and my placard!
Hij: There's other stuff you should be copying!
Sign R,: I refuse.
Signs: Your disguises and your hearts are in total disagreement!
HB : We got this ship's crew on our side.
HB : They wanted to put one over on the new government,
HB : so they gladly agreed to help us out.
HB : The real problem is the handover.
HB : Prisoners on their way to Kokujo Island undergo a thorough check at sea.
HB : We forged the documents, but in case they realize who you are...
Hij: It'd be quicker to capture them, ship and all, huh?
Hij: No need to worry.
Hij: Everything's ready.
Hij: Once we give the signal, the other units will move in.
Hij: The Shinsengumi and Katsura faction are working together.
Hij: It'll be over in an instant.
Hij: If we can just get that ship, we've won.
Sign M,Sign: Then the only thing we'll need to do is pick up Katsura-san and the others from the designated spot.
Hij: You guys need to sort out your relationship first, though.
HB : Oh, there's the ship.
HB : Are you all ready?
Hij: Hang on a minute.
Hij: Let me smoke one last cigarette.
Hij: It's time to say goodbye to you guys, too, huh?
Hij: Thanks for everything.
Hij: I'm glad I was sent packing to your place,
Hij: because I got to find out that this country still has cops like you guys.
Hij: While I'm gone, take care of Edo.
Hij: And them.
Hij: They got dragged into this due to my incompetence.
Hij: Besides, in spite of what they're like,
Hij: Kondo-san would be sad if they were gone.
HB : Vice Chief...
HB : Neither they nor any of my men are as weak as you think.
HB : Go raise some hell, hard-boiled style.
HB : Even if you go too wild and have nowhere left to go,
HB : you've got another boss right here.
HB : The more a bad boy you once were, the better a sleuth you make.
HB : Isn't that right, Haji?
HB : That's mean, boss!
HB : You didn't have to put it that way!
G: V-Vice Chief.
G: Something's off about that ship.
G: It's approaching us,
G: but I don't see anyone on it.
Hij: Hard rudder, port side!
Hij: Get away from that ship!
G: I-It's an enemy attack!
G: Hurry and provide backup!
Ymz: C-Captain Okita!
Hij: Naraku?
Hij: Why are they here?
Hij: Kozenigata!
Hij: Hang in there!
Hij: Hey!
HB: Guess I finally got to act like a boss for once.
HB: If this keeps up, this ship will sink.
HB: We'll handle things here.
HB: You go subdue that ship.
Hij: B-But...
Hij: Are you gonna tell me the demonic vice chief can't leave an injured man behind?
Hij: Don't let me down, now.
Hij: I told you...
Hij: My friends aren't that weak!
Hij: The friends of a hard-boiled man
Hij: will all be hard-boiled.
HB: Now get going already!
N: The cannons!
N: You fiends...
Gin: Looks like we made it in time for the party!
Gin: I couldn't go to the funeral!
Gin: So I should at least take part in the battle for revenge!
Gin: Or else the shogun could come back to haunt me!
Gin: And nobody wants that.
Hij: Do you guys realize what coming here means?!
Hij: If you come with us, you can never return to this country!
Gin: It's too late to go back, either way.
Gin: Looks like we've come too far, unawares,
Gin: to be the only ones turning tail.
Gin: If we do have anywhere to go home to,
Gin: it'd be a place where you guys are, too.
Gin: If we're going back,
Gin: then that hack policeman,
Gin: that hack t*rror1st,
Gin: that sadist,
Gin: and that monster are coming with us.
Gin: That's the kind of place Odd Jobs started calling home at some point.
Gin: Sheesh.
Gin: People aren't supposed to sit in one place for too long, huh?
Gin: Before I knew it, I was covered in moss.
Hij: Yeah.
Hij: True that.
Hij: Kondo-san, I'll be honest.
Hij: Until now, I saw protecting Edo as my job, and nothing more.
Hij: I just swung my sword because we were who we were: Shinsengumi and samurai.
Hij: But now, from the very bottom of my heart,
Hij: I want to protect Edo.
Hij: I want to protect our home!
Hij: Kondo-san, I've finally become
Hij: a proper member of the Shinsengumi.
Sas: Prepare for battle, men.
Sas: Once we arrive at Kokujo Island,
Sas: immediately begin hunting for the escaped inmates and their accomplices.
G: Sir!
Nob: That's it? That's our mission?
Sas: Complaining again?
Sas: You'd better give it a rest, or I'll start to sulk.
Nob: Don't we have other targets to cut down?
Nob: Do you really think Kondo and his g*ng k*lled the guards and escaped?
Sas: Who can say?
Sas: I imprisoned Katsura in the same prison on purpose.
Sas: I would find it rather troubling if they weren't capable of that much.
Nob: Was exposing Lord Nobunobu's tyrannical nature to the public
Nob: and sending Katsura to where Kondo was
Nob: all part of a plan to incite a rebellion and gain an excuse to purge them?
Nob: If I only wanted to wipe them all out, I would've had them ex*cuted with Kondo.
Nob: What I really want to clean up is
Nob: something far larger in scale that they happen to be a part of.
Nob: But before I could finish all the preparations,
Nob: your old friend seems to have caught on to me.
Nob: Oh, well.
Nob: This is a bit earlier than I'd planned,
Nob: but they were always fated to die out either way.
Nob: Let us as cops witness the demise of the police.
Kat: Hey, it's time to switch.
G: Oh, okay.
Kat: How's it look? Have the escapees...
G: Nah. It doesn't look like they've made it out of these walls yet.
Kon: Well, obviously.
Kon: Because we were thinking of getting out now.
Kat: I'm sorry, but continue to keep watch in your dreams.
Kat: That went well.
Kat: How are things looking on the outside, Matsudaira?
Kat: Wait, where's Matsudaira?
Kon: Uh, that's Pops!
Kat: Matsudaira! What are you doing wearing such confusing clothing?!
Kon: You're wearing the same thing!
G: Wh-What do you guys think you're doing?!
Kat: Hang in there, Kondo!
Kat: Let go of Kondo!
Kon: Uh, this is Kondo you're grabbing!
Mat: Just hang on, Kondo!
Mat: We'll combine our strength!
Kon: What are you combining?!
Kon: Combining stupidity with stupidity will only give birth to more stupidity!
Kon: What's wrong with you idiots?!
Kon: We nearly gave ourselves away!
Mat: Shh! Keep it down, Kondo.
Kon: That's not Kondo, damn it!
Kon: Crap.
Kon: Looks like the Mimawarigumi are here, too.
Kon: Toshi and the rest won't be able to approach the island now.
Kon: More than anything,
Kon: who knows if we can hold out until help arrives?
Kat: They will come for sure.
Kat: No need to worry.
Kat: They've got him on their side.
Kat: Just as you left your hopes outside these walls,
Kat: I left a trump card of my own back there.
Kat: Let us meet at dawn.
Kat: That man.
Gin: It's as we thought.
Gin: Something's going down over there, as well.
Gin: With the island on high alert, there's no way we can force our way through head-on.
Gin: We were right to abandon the big ship in favor of life boats.
Hij: Quit acting like you guys didn't go too wild and sink the ship!
Hij: Why do we gotta row all the way to the island?!
Kag: The situation's changing by the moment.
Kag: If you louts don't keep up, your general will lose his head.
Hij: You guys sure have it good, with your weird Chinese motor!
Hij: Put yourself in our shoes!
Gin: Don't tell me you guys are worn out from that little skirmish.
Gin: Come on. The w*r hasn't even begun for real yet.
Gin: I guess even the Shinsengumi and the Katsura faction together
Gin: are still no match for one measly little Odd Jobs, huh?
Hij: Row, people!
Hij: Forget about Shinsengumi and Joi Rebels for now!
Hij: Just work together and beat them to the island!
Sign M,: Time for the placards to shine, since they're shaped like oars. Use one like this.
Sign M,: I'll use my notebook to cheer you on, then. Fight!
G: Later, Vice Chief. We're going ahead.
G: Excuse us.
Hij: Wait a minute, you bastards—
HB : Good grief.
HB : Who would've thought we'd ever see something like that?
HB : Right, Boss?
HB : The Shinsengumi, Joi Rebels, and Odd Jobs
HB : are all working together toward a common goal.
HB : Just goes to show that life should be lived good and long.
HB : So please don't think it'd be hard-boiled to die here, okay?
HB : Let's live and see what those guys do with our own eyes.
HB : Yeah. Guess I should hold off on drinking with dinner for once
HB : and keep the champagne on ice.
HB : I'll be waiting at the bar,
HB : you perms.
Preview Blue,: Preview
Kon: No education, no status.
Kon: The only thing they can trust is their own swords.

N: And then it was creatures like these, or these.
M: What? We really will be eaten alive!

M: Wow. They look scary, but they're actually quite nice, huh?
N: Actually, they're quite naughty.
M: True, when we landed on Earth,
M: we found a whole bunch of EXILES.
M: Hello there, beautiful young lady.
M: Are you an EXILE?
Tae: I'm a B'z fan, damn it!
Snack Sign,Sign: Snack Otose
Oto: She may have looked similar, but she wasn't an EXILE.

M: but the legendary species, Samurai, restored peace to it!
N: But why'd they go extinct?
Oto: Due to the Unemployment Ice Age.

M: This is the legendary species, Samurai (poo)!
Gin: Huh? Interview?
Gin: Will I be paid?
Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan
M: Today, the Samurai (poo) is called a "handyman."
M: Instead of hunting, he takes advantage of others' weaknesses...
Gin: You took your mischief too far, lady.
W: Please don't tell my husband.
W: I'll pay as much as you want.
M: He's a lot like a hyena.
M: He primarily consumes nothing but sweets and alcohol.
M: He staggers on two legs during the day,
M: and turns four-legged at night.
Blech,Sign: Blech
M: His movements are sluggish, and there are days when he doesn't move at all.
N: That's a form of hibernation!
N: That's why he survived the Ice Age!
M: It's an unbelievable evolution!
M: In the past, samurai used to form rather unique herds,
M: with a hierarchical structure called "lordship."
Lord,Sign: Lordship
M: You'd have the leader of the pack, the "lord,"
M: and the lord's servants, the "retainers."
M: We'd given up on ever seeing that in its natural form, but...
Q: That's "Queen" to you!
Ha,: Haa haa
N: Queen!
Gin: So how'd it go? Are you an S or M?
M: Yes, the system of lordship was still in place!
Gin: I could hear your voice all the way outside.
Kag: You rotten pig!
Kag: Where were you goofing off?!
Kag: "Retainers" became "pigs"...
Gin: Look, they wanted to know where to have fun...
Kag: If you've got money to waste on that crap,
Kag: then pay tribute to the Queen of Kabuki District in the form of salary!
M: And "lords" became "queens."
M: The Samurai (poo) herd hierarchy is as follows:
M: On top is the queen.
M: Next up is her pet.
M: Then the fleas on the pet.
M: Then the roaches that eat the fleas.
M: Then the magazine for k*lling the roaches,
M: with which the Samurai (poo) comes as an accessory.
M: Further below is the hallucination he talks to every now and then.
Gin: Oh, Pachi-boy. Did you change your glasses?
Shin: You could tell?
M: It is said that Samurai trained diligently every day.
M: But our Samurai (poo) just loiters around gambling dens,
M: showing no signs of training at all.
M: Could it be that the Samurai (poo) species has declined massively in strength?
N: Hey, attack him and see what happens.
M: Wh-When?
N: Once he finishes eating that squid tentacle.
M: Squid tentacle?
Gin: Damn, this is tough.
M: It was an octopus arm!
N: Don't tell me, he noticed our presence and made the first move?!
: Odd Jobs Gin-chan
N: Let's give it another shot.
N: We could try something like poisoning...
M: That's too dangerous!
N: You won't lose your arms with an indirect method.
Gin: All right. We're having takoyaki for dinner.
M: They showed up for dinner!
Kag: Not octopus again.
M: What do you mean, "again"?
Shin: I don't even want to look at octopus anymore.
M: Even the hallucination was digging in?!
Gin: Don't be selfish!
N: What a terrifying species.
N: They've evolved to a higher plane of existence than us!
M: Uh, weren't they just hungry?
Gin: Huh? You're not eating?
Gin: What happened to your arms?
M: Th-They were gone before I knew it.
Gin: Oh, is that so?
Gin: But they'll grow back, right?
M: W-Well, yes.
Gin: Nice.
Gin: Then if we keep you alive and just eat your arms,
Gin: we'll never run out of food, huh?
M: I need to go buy some nibs!
M: That species is definitely super-dangerous!
M: I must let the entire galaxy know, with my essay!
N: Your pen's flowing a lot more freely than usual.
N: We had to pack up our research midway through, but I've got no complaints.
N: I was just about to get tired of Earth's crappy cuisine, too.
N: I miss Planet Osaka's takoyaki.

Gin: With the island on high alert, there's no way we can force our way through head-on.
Gin: We were right to abandon the big ship in favor of life boats.
Hij: Quit acting like you guys didn't go too wild and sink the ship!
Hij: Why do we gotta row all the way to the island?!
Kag: The situation's changing by the moment.
Kag: If you louts don't keep up, your general will lose his head.
Hij: You guys sure have it good, with your weird Chinese motor!
Hij: Put yourself in our shoes!
Gin: Don't tell me you guys are worn out from that little skirmish.
Gin: Come on. The w*r hasn't even begun for real yet.
Gin: I guess even the Shinsengumi and the Katsura faction together
Gin: are still no match for one measly little Odd Jobs, huh?
Hij: Row, people!
Hij: Forget about Shinsengumi and Joi Rebels for now!
Hij: Just work together and beat them to the island!
Sign M,: Time for the placards to shine, since they're shaped like oars. Use one like this.
Sign M,: I'll use my notebook to cheer you on, then. Fight!
G: Later, Vice Chief. We're going ahead.
G: Excuse us.
Hij: Wait a minute, you bastards—
HB : Good grief.
HB : Who would've thought we'd ever see something like that?
HB : Right, Boss?
HB : The Shinsengumi, Joi Rebels, and Odd Jobs
HB : are all working together toward a common goal.
HB : Just goes to show that life should be lived good and long.
HB : So please don't think it'd be hard-boiled to die here, okay?
HB : Let's live and see what those guys do with our own eyes.
HB : Yeah. Guess I should hold off on drinking with dinner for once
HB : and keep the champagne on ice.
HB : I'll be waiting at the bar,
HB : you perms.

Ian,Sign: Joining the Coverage Again {\fs }Mr. N, Editor
N: A quite scary species.
N: Until sixty million years ago or so, it was creatures like these.
M: What? They'll eat us alive!
N: And then it was creatures like these, or these.
M: What? We really will be eaten alive!
N: And right now,
N: it's ruled by EXILE.
M: What? They'll eat us alive!

N: They're a species that's beyond beautiful, and never eats more than it needs.
M: Wow. They look scary, but they're actually quite nice, huh?
N: Actually, they're quite naughty.
M: True, when we landed on Earth,
M: we found a whole bunch of EXILES.
M: Hello there, beautiful young lady.
M: Are you an EXILE?
Tae: I'm a B'z fan, damn it!
Snack Sign,Sign: Snack Otose
Oto: She may have looked similar, but she wasn't an EXILE.

M: Earth used to be full of terrifying monsters and rife with death,
M: but the legendary species, Samurai, restored peace to it!
N: But why'd they go extinct?
Oto: Due to the Unemployment Ice Age.

Oto: There's a fossil you can interview...

M: This is the legendary species, Samurai (poo)!
Gin: Huh? Interview?
Gin: Will I be paid?
Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan
M: Today, the Samurai (poo) is called a "handyman."
M: Instead of hunting, he takes advantage of others' weaknesses...
Gin: You took your mischief too far, lady.
W: Please don't tell my husband.
W: I'll pay as much as you want.
M: He's a lot like a hyena.
M: He primarily consumes nothing but sweets and alcohol.
M: He staggers on two legs during the day,
M: and turns four-legged at night.
Blech,Sign: Blech
M: His movements are sluggish, and there are days when he doesn't move at all.
N: That's a form of hibernation!
N: That's why he survived the Ice Age!
M: It's an unbelievable evolution!
M: In the past, samurai used to form rather unique herds,
M: with a hierarchical structure called "lordship."
Lord,Sign: Lordship
M: You'd have the leader of the pack, the "lord,"
M: and the lord's servants, the "retainers."
M: We'd given up on ever seeing that in its natural form, but...
Q: That's "Queen" to you!
Ha,: Haa haa
N: Queen!
Gin: So how'd it go? Are you an S or M?
M: Yes, the system of lordship was still in place!
Gin: I could hear your voice all the way outside.
Kag: You rotten pig!
Kag: Where were you goofing off?!
Kag: "Retainers" became "pigs"...
Gin: Look, they wanted to know where to have fun...
Kag: If you've got money to waste on that crap,
Kag: then pay tribute to the Queen of Kabuki District in the form of salary!
M: And "lords" became "queens."
M: The Samurai (poo) herd hierarchy is as follows:
M: On top is the queen.
M: Next up is her pet.
M: Then the fleas on the pet.
M: Then the roaches that eat the fleas.
M: Then the magazine for k*lling the roaches,
M: with which the Samurai (poo) comes as an accessory.
M: Further below is the hallucination he talks to every now and then.
Gin: Oh, Pachi-boy. Did you change your glasses?
Shin: You could tell?
M: It is said that Samurai trained diligently every day.
M: But our Samurai (poo) just loiters around gambling dens,
M: showing no signs of training at all.
M: Could it be that the Samurai (poo) species has declined massively in strength?
N: Hey, attack him and see what happens.
M: Wh-When?
N: Once he finishes eating that squid tentacle.
M: Squid tentacle?
Gin: Damn, this is tough.
M: It was an octopus arm!
N: Don't tell me, he noticed our presence and made the first move?!
: Odd Jobs Gin-chan
N: Let's give it another shot.
N: We could try something like poisoning...
M: That's too dangerous!
N: You won't lose your arms with an indirect method.
Gin: All right. We're having takoyaki for dinner.
M: They showed up for dinner!
Kag: Not octopus again.
M: What do you mean, "again"?
Shin: I don't even want to look at octopus anymore.
M: Even the hallucination was digging in?!
Gin: Don't be selfish!
N: What a terrifying species.
N: They've evolved to a higher plane of existence than us!
M: Uh, weren't they just hungry?
Gin: Huh? You're not eating?
Gin: What happened to your arms?
M: Th-They were gone before I knew it.
Gin: Oh, is that so?
Gin: But they'll grow back, right?
M: W-Well, yes.
Gin: Nice.
Gin: Then if we keep you alive and just eat your arms,
Gin: we'll never run out of food, huh?
M: I need to go buy some nibs!
M: That species is definitely super-dangerous!
M: I must let the entire galaxy know, with my essay!
N: Your pen's flowing a lot more freely than usual.
N: We had to pack up our research midway through, but I've got no complaints.
N: I was just about to get tired of Earth's crappy cuisine, too.
N: I miss Planet Osaka's takoyaki.

TV: a self-proclaimed editor was arrested.
Kag: Huh? Gin-chan, isn't this...
