Hed: Odd Jobs...

Hed: What are you doing there?  I was worried sick, you know.

Hed: I couldn't believe what happened to Edo.

Hed: But I believed, because you all...

Hed: ...will be massacred by my hand!

Hed: You're about to experience true fear now.

Hed: Let me tell you about my terrifying plan.

Hed: It involves...

Hed: not just flowers or plants.

Hed: I want to watch over the flower called  mankind that I found on this planet, too.

Hed: Basically, this planet was a flower  bed built to be trampled by me.

Hed: I want to bloom with you all as  one of this planet's flowers.

 Gin: M-My hand's stuck!

Hed: And when the flowers reach full bloom,  this planet will be a garden of peace—

Hed: D-Did you break that seal?!

Hed: It's all over! You humans  are done for, and so am I!

Hed: And so is this universe!

Hed: It's all ove—

Sign: New Half Pub Grand Opening Chris Matsunosuke

Hed: That was close.

Hed: I'll be sure to repay this favor, humanity!

Hed: Not on my watch.

Hed: As long as I'm here, I won't let  you do as you please, Hedora!

Hed: It's futile, Hedoro.

Hed: This body and this universe will be  enveloped in total darkness soon!

Gin: H-He split into halves?

Hed: I'll protect both Earth and humanity.

Hed: I'll destroy both Earth and humanity.

Hed:  I won't let you do as you please, Hedora!

Shin: What is even going on there?

Kag: I don't get it either,

Hed:  It's futile, Hedoro.

Kag: but they look like they're having fun.

Kag: It's been a while since I've seen that  kind of look on these people's faces.

Kag: I guess nothing beats peace after all.

Shin: Yeah, you're right.

Y: Now, it's our time to shine.

 TextR: The joy is short-lived.

 TextL: The Yato move out at twilight.

 TextR: Even if it's for just one night,

 TextL: enjoy the peace while it lasts.

 Title:  Silver Soul Arc

 Title:  Peace and Destruction Are Two Sides of the Same Coin

Oto: Never thought I'd see the  day when the Kabuki District

Oto: would be lit up not by neon lights,  but by moonlight and bonfires.

Jir: This town is noisy all year round. Nights  like these ain't so bad once in a while.

Jir: If we can see the town bathed in the  light of dawn next, it'll be perfect.

Jir: We did force them to retreat,  but it ain't like we won.

Jir: If the enemy force regroups and att*cks  again, we'll be defeated in a flash.

Oto: I didn't think I'd ever hear  such meek words from you.

Oto: Living a long life has its benefits.

Jir: Did that sound meek to you?

Jir: I guess you've grown hard of hearing.

Oto: It's not such a bad thing.

Oto: The only ones who can complain and whine  are those who have people they can rely on.

Oto: You've finally grown up, Jirocho.

Jir: Pah! I'd much rather be called  a senile geezer than that!

Sai: What's this? You two used to  constantly be at odds,

Sai: but you seem to be enjoying  each other's company tonight.

Sai: Oh, am I interrupting?

Oto: Not at all, Saigo. I was just thinking  I'd like to share a drink with you, too.

Oto: I'm actually a bit thankful we're  in this situation, you know.

Oto: I feel like it has helped me  like people a little more.

Oto: If it's a night like this, maybe it wouldn't  be so bad if it turned out to be my last.

Jir: Nah. We haven't drank enough yet.

Kag: Everyone's so b*at-up.

Shin: That's no surprise.

Shin: It's a miracle that we even  drove that huge army back.

Shin: It's not just the people  of the Kabuki District.

Shin: Everyone in Edo did everything they could,

Shin: as best they could.

Shin: That's probably why this miracle came about.

Shin: All you've been doing is getting in the way!

Ged: Pandemoniums are snacks that help  with injuries and illnesses.

Ged: Would you like one?

Shin: Seriously, who would eat  something so grotesque?!

Pan: Sorry. Am I being a nuisance after all?

Pan: I was so worried, I ended up coming along.

Pan: I guess I've become a  really troublesome woman.

Pan: Sorry. I'll go away now.

Shin: Yeah, you're a nuisance.

Shin: If you're going to disturb my heart  any further, just be with me forever!

Kag: You're the biggest nuisance here.

Tae: Shin-chan, Kagura-chan.

Tae: Forget about the straight man  routine and get some rest.

Kag: Boss lady.

Tae: Gedomaru-san and friends volunteered for  various tasks so that we could all rest.

Tae: They said they're not that tired yet,

Tae: and that they want more screen time since  they only showed up in the latter stages.

Shin: Don't leak out your real motive at the end!

Tae: Gedomaru-san and g*ng are tending  to the wounded and serving food.

Shin: They're going to turn us into food!

Tae: Seimei-san and Doman-san are guarding  and keeping watch on the town.

Sei: My watchmen are scarier!

Dom: What? My watchmen are scarier!

Shin: These watchmen need watchmen of their own!

Tae: Ketsuno Ana is providing assistance  via prayers and exorcism.

Ket: Tomorrow's weather will be nice and clear.

Ket: The perfect day for w*r.

Shin: Don't try to start a w*r!

Tae: If this is the time for everyone  to do what they're supposed to,

Tae: then what you guys must do right now is rest.

Tae: Forget about everything and get some sleep.

G: B-But I'm worried the enemy  might return at any time.

Tae: Relax. We're here for you,  so eat lots and sleep well.

Shin: Sis, they're not sleeping!  You finished them off!

Ged: Let's put them to sleep with that and  then stuff Pandemoniums in their mouths.

Tae: That sounds good, too.

Shin: Hey! Why are these hazards to  humanity feeding everyone?!

Shin: Can anybody bring food  that's actually edible?!

Pan: You finally spilled the beans.

Pan: In truth, I knew all along  how you felt about me.

Pan: So I'll confess, too.

Pan: I really wanted you to eat me.

Pan: Bye-bye. I love you.

Shin: Bring me every single Pandemonium  you've got, right this instant!

Kag: Shinpachi, you seriously  need to get some rest.

Kon: Really? I'll take you up on  that offer and rest, then.

Kon: I'm worn out from all the fighting.

Kon: I finally made it back...

Kon: Back to you.

Kon: I'm back, Otae-san.

Tae: W-Welcome back, Kondo-san.

Kon: Otae-san!

Tae: Kondo-san!

Tae: Who're you calling Otae?!

Kon: O-Otae-san? Y-You're being too intense!

Kon: N-No! We can't do this!

Shin: Let go of Pandemonium-san!

Tae: What's with that scene right out of hell?

Ged: It seems the Pandemonium's illusion  ability worked a bit too well on them.

Hij: What's all this?

Hij: He was saying he had a real chance,  with the world about to end and all,

Hij: but all of this is no different  than it has always been.

Oki: What are you saying, Hijikata-san?

Oki: This is what Kondo-san wanted.

Oki: The same old routine.

Tae: Just when the world is about to end,  you finally return home?

Tae: I see that cops will always be cops.

Hij: Unfortunately, saving the world isn't  in the police's job description.

Hij: But we have tons of other work to do.

Sac: Pretty much.

Sac: Don't know or care about the world,

Sac: but it looks like we did  at least protect our home.

Tae: Guys...

Tae: You did well.

Kag: Boss lady, you're talking to the wrong thing.

Oto: So basically,

Oto: the Liberation Army won't be  back for revenge immediately?

Sign:  Kabuki District Four Devas

Oto: You mean we'll be safe for a while?

Kon: They're isolated from  their main force in space.

Kon: They've lost both their comms  and their chain of command.

Kon: In this situation, it'll be difficult to  regroup a force that already crumbled once.

Shinsengumi,Sign:  Shinsengumi

Hij: They were att*cked by the bakufu army while  on the run, and now they're scattered.

Hij: They don't have it in them  to switch to att*ck.

Oki: If anything, this might  be our chance to att*ck.

Oki: If we can rob them of their provisions,

Oki: we can watch the enemy crumble  without having to fight.

Zen: You want us to make the first move?

Oniwaban,Sign:  Oniwaban

Zen: If we corner that huge force any more,  who knows how they'll respond?

Zen: Besides...

Zen: Those unconfirmed reports about another mercenary squad worry me, too.

Bim: This victory was practically a miracle,

Sign:  Yagyuu Chinkage  School

Bim: and we had to pay a heavy price for it.

Bim: If we want more, we'll have to be  prepared to sacrifice a lot more, too.

Tsu: We didn't fight to win the w*r.

Tsu: We fought to stop it.

Sign:  Yoshiwara Defense Force Hyakka

Tsu: If we willingly cause more casualties,

Tsu: wouldn't it be the same as siding  with the Liberation Army?

Sei: Seizing an opportunity is akin to  grasping a log floating down a river.

Onmyoji,Sign:  Onmyoji Ketsuno Clan & Shirino Clan

Sei: Being cautious is all well and good,

Sei: but this might be our last sh*t at victory.

Ket: Brother, are you saying we must fight?

Sei: I'm saying that stopping a w*r needs  more resolve than starting one.

Kon: Exactly. Let's fight.

Tsu: But you know...

Ged: How do you feel, Odd Jobs?

Ged: Which option do you think we should choose?

Odd,Sign:  Odd Jobs

Kag: I say go with curry.

Shin: Nobody's asking about dinner, Kagura-chan.

Shin: Well, uh...

Shin: I don't understand the complicated stuff,

Shin: but I feel like if we're all together,  we can work something out either way.

Shin: I'm not afraid of anything.

Shin: I'm just so overwhelmed that all  of you are fighting alongside us.

Shin: I'm glad I was born in Edo, on Earth...

Shin: Oh, that's not what you  were asking about, was it?

Shin: Sorry.

Gin: That's not true.

Gin: Compared to the fact that so many people  have come together for one cause,

Gin: which method we choose  is but a trivial matter.

Gin: Then we could just

Gin: try launching HEVA.

Sign: All-Purpose Demonoid Final Battle w*apon

Sign: Hevandorogon

Gin: What do you think, everyone?

Gin: We're ready.

Gin: We squeezed out a high synchro  rate and are good to go whenever,

Gin: but we'd like Odd Jobs' opinion.

Shin: You're Odd Jobs, too.

Gin: Should we launch HEVA,  or should it be on standby?

Gin: How do you feel about HEVA? Do you like it?

Shin: Why have our options been  whittled down to HEVA alone?

Gin: What do you think, HEVA?

Gin: Hey, HEVA.

Gin: Um, Hedoro-san?

Hed: Who, me? Uh, I think it could work.

Shin: Um, it looks like even he  doesn't know about HEVA.

Hij: I think it's too early.  What about you, Kondo-san?

Kon: Well, yeah. I agree with you.

Sac: If he wants to go, just let him.

Tsu: Yes, I agree.

Hij: We'll leave it to you young'uns.

Oto: Do as you please, EVA.

G: Wasn't it HEVA, not EVA?

G: No, wasn't it NOVA?

G: What's HEVA, anyway?

Shin: Nobody knows?!

Gin: Oh, you didn't know?

Gin: I thought everyone knew.

Shin: Like hell they would!  You haven't explained a thing!

Gin: Can't you tell at a glance?

Gin: Aside from the Liberation Army thing,

Gin: the world was nearly ended seven times  by the Hedora inside Hedoro-san.

Gin: Isn't it obvious that it was all resolved  by them turning into HEVA in the end?

Shin: Not even an ESPer could get that!

Gin: Long story short, I realized that we have  no choice but to use this demon's power.

Gin: We turn humanity's greatest  thr*at into its greatest savior

Gin: and h*t the Liberation Army with it.

Gin: That's the All-Purpose Demonoid  Final Battle w*apon, Hevandorogon.

Shin: What kind of preposterous  monster have you created?!

Gin: Don't worry. Through trial and error,

Gin: I found the perfect way to use both  the angel's and the demon's powers.

Gin: It can even play the straight man now.

Gin: Try playing the fool.

Shin: U-Uh, this is sudden.  I'm the straight man, anyway.

Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!

Gin: If I use the right lever, like so,

Gin: the demon of destruction Hedora's  personality will come to the forefront.

Gin: He's mainly in charge of jabs and  opening stuck lids on jars of jam.

Shin: What are you using that demonic power for?!

Shin: He was aiming his jabs at humanity!  He hasn't given up on destroying humanity!

Shin: Meanwhile, the left lever  is for cleaning up the mess.

Hed: Shinpachi-kun, I'm sorry  Hedora was violent with you.

Shin: H-Hedoro-san, thank you so...

Hed: Watch out! There's a ladybug!

Shin: Almost nothing's changed!

Shin: Looks like it was safe. Thank goodness.

Gin: I'll use the angel or demon, depending  on the situation, and protect humanity.

Gin: That's the gist of the Human  Instrumentality Project.

Shin: But I saw nothing but demon!

Shin: You sure this isn't the Ladybug  Instrumentality Project?!

Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!

Shin: He returned my jab with a jab!

Gin: You spewed sorely mistaken nonsense.  In other words, you played the fool.

Gin: Better watch your mouth, or I'll  deem it a comedy act and jab at it.

Shin: This is bad! The demon's got  another demon riding on top!

Kon: Stop it, Odd Jobs! It's too dangerous!

Kon: That thing's throwing jabs not  at fools, but at humanity itself!

Kon: Eventually, its jabs will even h*t you!

Gin: Even so, I have to keep throwing jabs

Gin: until the world drops this  unfunny joke about ending.

Kon: In that case, knock me out before you go!

Gin: You're in the way. Move.

Kon: What's wrong? Come on, give me a jab!

Gin: I can't.

Gin: Because you're not a human.

Gin: You're an ape.

Kon: Knock me out.

Kon: Come on, knock me out.

Kon: Please knock me out!

Hed: Watch out! There's a cockroach!

Shin: How do you even respond to this?!

Tae: Demon? More like a god.

Tae: And that god is telling you to get  some rest, for tonight at least.

Tae: So don't worry about it, Hedoro-san.

Tae: It's this moron's fault for toying  with someone like they were a robot.

Hed: I'm terribly sorry.

Hed: In my eyes, both Sakata-san and cockroaches  are equally my friends on Earth.

Tae: Jeez, cheer up!

Tae: This guy deserves to be treated  worse than a cockroach!

Hed: What the heck? Want me to destroy humanity?!

Gin: He cheered up too much!

Gin: Quit messing with that branch under the  pretext of offering an olive branch!

Shin: But you really should get some rest.

Shin: The w*r will continue tomorrow  and thereafter, too.

Gin: Tell your sister that!

Shin: Thinking back, you've been  fighting constantly for ages.

Shin: You always fight until you're a mess.

Shin: In truth, you must be really worn out, right?

Gin: I could say the same about you guys.

Gin: I ran you two into the ground, after all.

Gin: For unpaid interns, you did great work.

Gin: You did well to keep up with such a lowlife.

Gin: But, maybe because you were  with such an unreliable adult,

Gin: you've both grown much stronger.

Tae: Looks like they've taken over the futon.

Tae: If they'd stayed up a little longer, they  could've heard some rare words of praise.

Gin: I guess they still have a ways to go.

Gin: And so do I.

Oki: Hijikata-san, just when will  we be able to rest?

Hij: If the world ends, we'll get  more sleep than we'd ever want.

Hij: Enjoy the street life while you still can.

Oki: The only things you can enjoy  in this pitch-dark world

Oki: are sleep and sex.

Oki: Did you know?

Oki: Every city that experiences a huge blackout  has higher birthrates the next year.

Hij: That's what I'm looking for.

Oki: Huh? Someone to sleep with?

Hij: Hell no!

Hij: The man who went beyond blackout and broke  every machine in Edo, Hiraga Gengai.

Hij: Without that virus cannon that stopped  the enemy fleet and severed their comms,

Hij: we wouldn't be here right now.

Hij: But as things stand, we can't link  up with the guys in space, either.

Sign: Sleep well and  build up energy.

Hij: We'll have to get him to help  us communicate in some way.

G: Old man Gengai? Haven't seen him in a while.

G: I think he was nearly caught by a mercenary  squad, but managed to get away.

G: Dunno after that, though.

G: Gengai-san? Yeah, I ran away with him.

G: But partway, he said he had  to answer nature's call,

G: and then he didn't come back...

G: Huh? Gengai?

G: He was hiding in the shadows over  there and yelling for toilet paper.

Hij: Hear us out while you wipe.

Hij: We need a favor from you, Gengai.

Hij: Gengai?

Y: Gengai, was it?

Y: Surely you know why you're here.

Gen: Yeah. You want me to clean  up the mess I caused, right?

Gen: Even as your allies were taken out,

Gen: you sat back and watched, so where  is all this coming from now?

Y: We never intended on fighting  alongside complete idiots.

Y: Gengai, stop that nanomachine virus.

G: Bad news! Old man Gengai!

Hij: Gengai has fallen into enemy hands!

Tsu: Huh? You say something?

Hij: No. Nothing at all.

Mat: This is one unpleasant night.

Mat: It's so quiet, it's almost creepy.

Mat: I guess bonus stages never  last very long, huh?

Mat: I hope they're getting some  rest while they still can.

Soyo: You can't sleep either,

Soyo: Nobume-san?

Nob: I can't sleep well after getting  injured and being a burden.

Soyo: Sorry I caused you unnecessary concern.

Soyo: But don't worry about keeping watch.

Soyo: I have the bodyguard the  Odd Jobs left with me.

Soyo: Oh, it's fine. Let him sleep.

Soyo: Sorry, I don't know how to play  the straight man very well.

Soyo: Come to think of it, something  similar happened before, didn't it?

Soyo: I threw a tantrum, saying  I was too lonely to sleep,

Soyo: but I hadn't experienced truly  lonely nights back then.

Nob: We, the Hitotsubashi Faction, are the ones  who put you siblings through all this.

Nob: I really have no right to  be by your side like this.

Soyo: Just as you know my pain,

Soyo: I know your pain, too.

Soyo: Isn't that enough, Nobume-san?

Soyo: Let's get through this night,  the two of us togeth—

Nob: Princess, I don't really know how  to play the straight man, either.

Nob: What?

 NbNb: Come...

 NbNb: Co... in.

 NbNb: Come in.

Soyo: Were the comms restored?

 NbNb: Somebody... Is anybody there?

 NbNb: Respond.

Soyo: Hello. I'm Tokugawa Shigeshige's  younger sister,

Soyo: Soyo.

Soyo: Nobunobu-sama...

Soyo: It's you, isn't it?
