K: Men,

 K:  I called you here for one reason:

Warning,Warning:  Watch the Silver Soul Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!

 K:  there is an issue causing  unrest in the court,

 K:  and I felt the need to  discuss it immediately.

 K: I have heard all about it.

 K: Ever since I fell sick,

 K: the struggle for the right to succeed  me as king of Planet Okoku

 K: has split you all into two factions

 K: that are locked in an ugly  conflict over succession.

 K: This is all my fault for being weak.

 K: I don't have long left.

 K: So I must resolve this problem before I go.

 Jii: Your Highness, you needn't  trouble yourself with this.

 Jii: Our utmost desire is to see you remain  on the throne for as long as possible.

 Jii: Please leave the administration  to us and focus on recovering.

 Jii: Prince Hata is leading us  retainers in your stead.

 Jii: His kind heart, filled with  love for every living being,

 Jii: is propping us all up.

 Jii: He will surely be a wonderful king.

 Dan: Kindness?

 Dan: Nes, are you saying that  qualifies him to be king?

 Dan: Can a "kind" prince who ignores  national affairs to dote on animals

 Dan: really protect the subjects?

 Jii: Dan! You dare to insult the  prince in front of the king?!

 Dan: I'm prepared to sacrifice  my life to say this.

 Dan: Your Highness!

 Dan: Only Prince Barkas can lead  this country and its people!

 Dan: His acumen in military  strategy, his political savvy,

 Dan: and above all, his status as the eldest son make him truly fit to be king!

 Dan: So why hasn't he been appointed successor?

 Jii: Dan, don't cause any more political  unrest than you already have.

 Dan: Shut up!

 Dan: You're just a hyena who wants  to leech off of Prince Hata!

 Jii: Hmph. You know very well why  he hasn't been made successor.

 Jii: Prince Barkas certainly is brilliant  and has a personality fit to be king.

 Jii: But there is one kingly quality that  he crucially loses out to Prince Hata on.

 Jii: That's right. He is tiny!

 Jii: Oh, pardon me. I forgot that  you're pretty small yourself.

 Jii: I mean the symbol of our  race's males and our pride:

Sign:  Peerinitis

 Jii: Peerinitis.

 Jii: Or, for short, Penis!

Sign: Penis

 Jii: Since ancient times, a male's worth has  been decided by his forehead Penis's size,

 Jii: and we've placed utmost importance on it.

 Jii: Regardless of everything else,  the one with the bigger Penis is better.

 Jii: The one with the bigger  Penis is more popular.

 Jii: The one with the bigger Penis  has an easier time hailing taxis.

 Jii: The one with the bigger Penis  is a superior creature!

 Jii: The royal family is no exception.

 Jii: Even if he was born first,  even if he's hugely talented,

 Jii: one with a tiny Penis  has no right to be king!

 Jii: Because while hard work can  make up for a lack of talent,

 Jii: nothing can be done about Penis size!

 Jii: You want to ignore that tradition  and make a tiny man king?!

 Jii: Have some shame!

 Dan: H-He's not tiny! Even the prince  is average when erect...

 G: Dan, don't go there.  Don't bring up erections.

 Jii: If you bring that up, Prince Hata is  much bigger when he has a chub, too!

 G: Nes, don't go there. Don't bring up chubs.

 Dan: I'm saying that the tradition  is a blight on our race!

 Dan: Can one rule the country with one's Penis?

 Dan: Even if he has a small Penis, a talented  man will build a better country!

 Dan: Who cares about a Penis?  What is a Penis, anyway?!

 Jii: Are you insulting His Highness?

 Jii: He became king solely through  the size of his Penis!

 Jii: If you took his Penis away,  what would he have left?

 Jii: Just water, that's what!

 Dan: You're the one insulting him!

 Dan: His Highness has plenty of  virtues aside from his Penis.

 Jii: What are they? Enlighten us!

 Dan: U-Uh, you know, he has an  easier time hailing taxis!

 Jii: That's because he has a big Penis!

 Jii: His Highness has nothing but his Penis!  He has to stake it all on his Penis!

 Jii: Turn it around, and it means even a blockhead  can be competent if he has a big Penis.

 Jii: As long as he has a big Penis,  everything else will work itself out!

 Jii: Right, Your Highness?

 Jii: Your Highness!

 Jii: Hang in there, Peni— Your Highness!

 Dan: Call a doctor!

 Jii: Your Highness, please tell us before you go!

 Dan: Who will be the next king?

 Jii: The one with the big Penis?

 Dan: The one who has a smaller  Penis but is capable?

 Jii: Big Penis?

 Dan: Smaller Penis but capable?

 Bo: Your Highness!

 K: Th-The one... who has a big  Penis... and is capable...

 Bark: I suppose Father could  never forget about Brother.

 Bark: Our elder brother,

 Bark: First Prince of Planet Okoku, Dragonia.

 Bark: A hero who was hailed as  the Nine-Dragon Prince.

 Bark: At the young age of five, his Penis  was as long as a dragon's whisker,

Sign:  years old

 Bark: and his talents thr*at to pierce  the heavens, like a dragon's horns.

 Bark: They said that the country was  sure to prosper if he became king.

 Bark: But the massive size of his  Penis led to tragedy,

 Bark: and he left us all behind.

 Bark: That's what you call a king.

 Hata: Th-That's not true, Brother!

 Hata: You're just as good! It's just, your Penis...

 Hata: Sorry.

 Bark: Don't say that, Hata.

 Bark: In these peaceful times, a kind man  like you is better suited to be king.

 Bark: But if I remain here, that  peace won't last long.

 Bark: Fighting will surely break  out over the throne.

 Bark: Become a kind king who loves  all living beings, Hata.

 Hata: Brother...

Hata: Brother...

Hata: Close shave! I died for a moment just now!

Hata: What's this? What's going  on right now, again?

G: Unhand the prince, you knave!

Kat: Prince Half-Wit... I'd heard  that you love animals,

Kat: but to think you'd build an ark  to keep Earth's species alive...

Kat: I see you in a new light now.

Kat: But there's something  you should keep in mind.

Kat: Earth also has savage beasts  that you can't handle.

Kat: Send word to your country at once!

Kat: "The prince's life is in danger!

Kat: Gather up all the troops in the  country and rush to his aid!

Kat: The entire army of Planet Okoku must  make the prince's wish come true.

Kat: We must rise up to protect Earth  and stop the Liberation Army!"

Sak: Zura! You...

Sak: In this desperate situation,

 Sak: are you trying to find Earth an ally?

Hat: Are you out of your mind?!

Hat: You want us to fight the  entire universe for you lot?!

Kat: I'm not telling you to fight.

Kat: The Liberation Army is  currently rooted to Earth.

Kat: They think it has no allies  across the universe.

Kat: What do you think will happen if  an allied army suddenly shows up?

Sign: Liberation Army

Kat: All you need to do is draw  the enemy's attention.

Sign: Okoku Army

Kat: After that, you're free to flee if you want.

Sign: Not Zura,  Katsura

Kat: We'll take that opportunity to take over  the Liberation Army's HQ and stop the w*r.

Kat: This way, you can protect  all of Earth's species.

Hata: Screw you! Our own species  could die out from this!

Hata: Besides, why should I care  about Earth's survival?

Hata: I was just building a collection!  Who the hell brought this stray dog in?!

Jii: Your orders were to take in species  from Earth at random, Prince.

Hata: Can't you tell the difference

Hata: between species that are better off d*ad and ones that need protection, geezer?!

Jii: Understood, Prince.

Jii: Hey, get rid of the Joi Rebills  along with that white pig.

Hata: Sorry about that. Protect the pig, okay?

Hata: The pig can live, don't you think?

Jii: Don't you get it?

Jii: Right now, your life isn't in the hands  of the Joi Rebills or the Liberation Army,

Jii: but this old man here!

Jii: Where's your reply, pig?

Hata: O-Oink!

Jii: Hear that, men?

Jii: To protect our country,  the prince is acting like a pig

Jii: and telling you to sh**t him and the enemy.

Jii: Pull the trigger.

Hata: Nothing's changed!

Mad: That stray dog

Mad: ain't the only one in here.

Mad: Why not get rid of it along  with the baa-ing white goat?

Hata: You!

Kat: You sure took your time,  Chief of Immigration.

Mad: Yeah. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Mad: I had to get up from clinging to  the ground and drag myself here.

Mad: Cut me some slack.

Mad: A loser underdog has his own way of flying.

Mad: I munched on dog food and did the  dog paddle to get all the way here.

Mad: Now, shall we be on our way, Master?

Kat: It's time for a walk.

Jii: No! I don't want to die, but I don't want  to fight the Liberation Army, either!

Hata: Serves you right! This is what  you get for getting carried away!

Jii: It's all your fault for bringing this guy  in to get your revenge, Prince Hog!

Hata: Hasegawa-san! k*ll that geezer already!

Jii: Hey, Joi Rebills! I'll work with  you, so k*ll that pig prince!

Hata: Somebody shut that geezer up! f*re!

Jii: Go ahead and f*re! But make  sure to k*ll that pig after me!

Hata: f*re, now!

Jii: Open f*re!

Dan: I opened f*re,

Dan: just as you ordered.

Hata: Dan, you!

Kat: g*n?

Kat: Zura, what's going on?!

Kat: Zura!

Dan: I have waited a long time for this.

Dan: I've waited ever since you  people exiled Prince Barkas

Dan: for this moment when I could wipe out  the morons with nothing but big Penises

Dan: and establish a country of tiny ones.

Dan: If we joined forces with Earth,

Dan: not only would our country get wiped  out, but also our entire planet.

Dan: At least be of use to the  country with your dying breath,

Dan: by disappearing from this world  along with your incompetent Penises.

Kat:  Elizabeth... Hey, Elizabeth!

Dan: But before you go, I have  something to ask you.

Dan: Why did you stay a prince even  after you took over the country?

Dan: Why'd you leave the throne empty  instead of becoming king?!

 Shi: But you do have a king.

 Shi: A capable man with a huge Penis,

 Shi: the Nine-Dragon Prince, Dragonia.

 Shi: Back then, you said this...

 Hata: Brother, he's right here.

 Hata: With his big Penis and vast  talents... He's right here.

 Hata: I have a big Penis,

 Hata: and you're overflowing with talent.

 Hata: If we work together, we can be Dragonia.

 Hata: So I'll remain a prince and wait.

Shi: "Wait for the other half of me and Dragonia."

 Shi: Dan, stand down!

 Shi: Who do you think that man is?

 Shi: Who do you think we are?

 Shi: It's the return of the king.

Gintama,OP Card: Gintama

Silver Soul,OP Card: Silver Soul

 Shi: Leaving my kid brother alone,

 Shi: I left the country

 Shi: so that the peaceful country would  have a kind king befitting it,

 Shi: believing that there'd be a country  out there that suited me more.

 En: Oh? I didn't know our lukewarm  neighbors had a fiery man like you.

 En: Who are you?

 Shi: On a b*ttlefield, both princes and laymen  fall to the ground equally as corpses.

 Shi: Isn't that right, Prince Ensho?

Shi: I cast aside my name,  my status, and my Penis,

Shi: and kept fighting in search  of a country of my own.

Shi: But the place at the end of my journey

 Shi: was here after all.

 Shi: My little brother, Hata.

 Shi: Seeing you still waiting for me  to return made me realize

 Shi: that I was merely running away.

 Shi: The b*ttlefield I belonged on was  in front of my eyes all along.

Shi: Hata, forgive me. I made you fight  all by yourself for so long.

Shi: But I will not run away anymore.

Shi: Even if standing beside my kid brother  with a big Penis covers me in disgrace,

Shi: even if the responsibility of being a  great prince's kid brother crushes me,

Shi: I will fight alongside you!

Shi: Exposing this tiny Penis for all to see!

Shi: Men, we are the great Okoku Kingdom's king,

Shi: Dragonia!

Jii: P-Prince?

Dan: No way... He was alive?

 Shi: Dan, you people once tried to make me king.

Shi: Could you lower your g*n  out of respect for me?

 Shi: This is no time to be  fighting over Penis sizes.

 Shi: Both tiny and big must join  Penises and fight together.

 Shi: To that end, the big Hata and  the tiny me will become king!

 Shi: Let's work together and take  down the Liberation—

Dan: Don't be fooled!

Dan: He died a long time ago!

Dan: Exorcise the specter that thr*at  to lead our tiny Penis faction astray!

 Shi: You can't believe, Dan?

 Shi: Then come see me! I'll show you my  Penis that's just as tiny as yours!

Dan: Wh-What are you doing? Hurry up and f*re.

G: B-But Minister, that huge Penis is definitely...

 Shi: Huge penis?

 Shi: Huh? Who are you talking about?

Kat: E-Elizabeth...

G: The hell is that?

G: Something outrageous came out of  Elizabeth-san after he got knocked out!

Jii: Prince, you might not remember  because you were so young,

Jii: but I have never once forgotten the sight.

Jii: That giant Penis that looks  like a dragon's whisker

Jii: definitely belongs to the eldest of  the three princes of Planet Okoku,

Jii: the one who was considered  to have died in an accident,

Jii: the legendary Nine-Dragon Prince, Dragonia!

 That's what you meant?!

 Shi: There was another prince there, too?

 Shi: Was nobody listening to me at all?

 Shi: Hey, Hata? Dan?

 Shi: Are you listening to me?

Dan: f*re! Hurry up and f*re!

Jii: A technique most worthy of Nine-Dragon,  said to possess nine Penis heads.

Hata: Gramps, forget a worthy Nine-Dragon  technique, isn't that just a rip-off?

Hata: Isn't it just Nine-Headed Dragon Trash?

Jii: You're alive, Prince Dragonia?

Hata: You're letting them out?

Jii: You look different now, but I've never  forgotten how your Penis looked.

Hata: Hey, Gramps! You call it a Penis,  but it might actually be one!

Hata: It might be the one that  hangs from the crotch!

Kat: Elizabeth, you...

Penis: Katsura-san, I've always lived through  life not knowing anything about myself.

Hata: Uh, Gramps? The Penis is talking!

Penis: Who was I, and where was I born?

Penis: I've lived my life never thinking  about that or questioning it.

Hata: Hey, Gramps! Which one's Brother here?

Hata: Which one's the actual body?  Is this what he was like?

Penis: But when I h*t my head hard just  now, I feel like I caught a glimpse.

Penis: I think I once had an accident  so bad that I forgot who I was.

Penis: And while I was on the brink of death...

Sign: From now on,  you're one of us.

Penis: I don't recall the details.

Penis: But there is just one thing  I've clearly remembered.

Penis: My name is Dragonia.

Hata: Dragonia, my foot!

Hata: What was that flashback?

Hata: The one that showed up midway  looked more like you!

Hata: Which one was you, and how did Brother  end up like this from that situation?

Jii: I don't really understand all of it,

Jii: but since his Penis is big,  does it really matter?

Hata: Are you looking at nothing but  the Penis, you shitty geezer?

Jii: Prince Dragonia!

Jii: We have eagerly awaited your  return, the return of our king!

G: Prince Hata! Are you all right?

G: What happened here?

G: Wait! That Penis...

Hata: Hey, you guys try talking  some sense into him, too.

Hata: Gramps is saying this monster  Penis is Prince Dragonia.

G: Our King, please give us the order  to sh**t that insolent pig to death.

Hata: A big Penis is enough to get you to  switch sides? You guys are way too easy!

Jii: Could you please return home

Jii: and rebuild the country that  the stupid prince ruined?

Hata: Who're you calling the stupid prince?

Penis: Dragonia doesn't exist within me anymore.

Sign: That's just an empty name.

Penis: I'm not Dragonia from Planet Okoku anymore.

Sign: I've become Elizabeth  from Earth.

Penis: So I have no right to be king.

Penis: But even if I can't be king,

Penis: I can fight with you and help  you take back your king.

Penis: They may be lacking as kings by themselves,

Penis: but together...

Penis: No, if they have your support,

Penis: I'm sure they'll be splendid kings.

Penis: So would you please fight alongside us?

Penis: Earth is all alone in the universe,  and I want you to be its friend!
