Gin: I took him out!

Gin: I took out the g*n!

Tsu: C-Calm down, Gintoki!

Tsu: He's just unconscious!

Tsu: We need to get him help, quick!

Nobu: Found Whitey and Blondie.

Gin: That's not a can!

Nobu: It'll be faster to cut him up.

Gin: Your way of moving faster is too fast!

A: Excuse me, g*n-sama.

A: The former g*n, Sadasada-sama is here.

A: Are you available?

Gin: Is he available?

Gin: That's what I want to know!

Gin: This is a disaster! What the hell do we do about this?!

Gin: We finally found the former g*n,

 but the current g*n is flying away!

Gin: Butterflying away in the River Styx.

Gin: At this rate, we'll be butterflying away with him,

Tsu: Calm down!

Gin: so before that, let's start running away!

Tsu: Hey, where are you going?

Tsu: Get back here.

Tsu: Are you gonna give up on this perfect chance?

Sada: Is something wrong?

Sada: Shigeshige-san is my nephew.

Sada: I don't need his permission to visit.

Sada: I'm coming in, Shigeshige-san.

Gin: H-Hold on!

Shige: What is the meaning of this?

Tsu: O-Oh no!

Tsu: We said to wait!

Tsu: g*n-sama is busy right now.

Nobu: Hello, we're Delivery Yoshiwara's Nobume...

Tsu: ...and Tsu-ki. It's a pleasure.

 Inside the Palace!!

Sasa: Found the princess.

Sasa: sh*t Grampy.

Sasa: Sorry, but I already found everyone.

Sasa: Forgive me for being an elite.

Grampy: My apologies, Sasaki-dono!

Grampy: We were just...

Sasa: It's fine.

Sasa: But watch where you hide.

Sasa: I almost mistook you for a villain and sh*t you.

Shin: Almost? You nearly sh*t me to death!

Sasa: Rotten-dono, if you agree to take responsibility when

 I accidentally k*ll the princess,

Sasa: we can play another round.

Grampy: We'll stop! We're going to stop!

Grampy: I'm so very sorry!

Sasa: A wise decision.

Sasa: I would expect as much

 from Rotten Maizo-dono, advisor to the former g*n.

Sasa: I've heard that you gave up your left arm to show your loyalty.

Shin: Grampy, you served Sadasada-sama?

Grampy: I-It was a long time ago.

Sasa: It was a tempestuous age of political purges within the palace,

Sasa: and Rotten-dono played a pivotal role in keeping his master safe.

Sasa: Sadasada-sama's elevation to g*n

 was thanks to Rotten-dono's hard work

Sasa: since the other candidates were all sent to heaven.

Sasa: Yes, by "heaven," I mean Yoshiwara.

Shin: What do you...

Grampy: Sasaki-dono, could you escort these visitors outside?

Grampy: Come with me, Your Highness.

Soyo: Wait, Grampy!

Soyo: Kagura-chan!

Kag: Soyo-chan!

Tsu: Here you are, g*n-sama.

Tsu: Come on, g*n-sama.

Tsu: You're spilling everything.

Tsu: You're so hopeless.

Gin: There's no way!

Gin: Not a chance in hell!

Gin: There's no way we can fool him!

Gin: Why are we bothering with this act?

Gin: His eyes are rolled back!

Gin: The former g*n's eyes are also rolled back!

Tsu: Say something! Say something, now!

Gin: I'm not a ventriloquist!

Tsu: Still beats staying quiet! Hurry up!

Gin: Y-Yeah, you gave me a scare

Gin: since you walked in without any warning, Uncle!

Gin: Give me a break!

Gin: I look like a fool now!

Tsu: Why are you being so casual?!

Tsu: Act more serious, like the g*n would!

Gin: Bring Genda Tessho-san here, then!

Gin: I don't know how to play a serious g*n!

Nobu: My apologies, Dearest Uncle.

Gin: She can mimic voices?

Nobu: I have humiliated myself g*n.

Gin: Huh, g*n?

Nobu: I'm so embarrassed g*n.

Gin: Hey! Why do you end every sentence with g*n?!

Nobu: Please forget what you saw g*n.

Gin: You're sounding like Korosuke now!

Gin: Who are you trying to imitate?!

Nobu: Oh, that's odd.

Nobu: The g*n is talking faster than his mouth can move g*n.

Gin: Nobody asked for an Ikkoku-dou impression!

Sada: No, I should be the one apologizing.

Sada: You seemed to frown upon such behavior.

Sada: I did some crazy things when I was young, though nothing as bold as this.

Gin: What does he think was going on here?!

Sada: But I'm shocked that the Mimawarigumi would allow visitors inside.

Sada: It seems that they aren't here to protect us.

Sada: Look at that.

Gin: Huh? Er, can I sit here?

Gin: Can I just stare at his receding hairline from here?

Tsu: Of course not!

Tsu: Stand up! Get over there!

Sada: They claim to be training, but that's no more than an excuse.

Sada: They're monitoring us.

Sada: You know that the current Bakufu

Tsu: Hey, be careful!

 is split between our faction, which backs you,

Sada: and the faction that wants to make one of

 the young Hitotsubashis g*n, yes?

Sada: The recent assassination victims

 have all been members of the Hitotsubashi faction.

Sada: That is why they suspect us.

Sada: The Mimawarigumi have strong ties to the Hitotsubashi faction.

Sada: They may attempt to make false accusations.

Sada: Try not to do anything that would attract their attention.

Tsu: g*n-sama, give me back my underwear!

Nobu: This doesn't seem right.

Gin: Any naughty underwear around g*n?

Gin: Ugh, this stinks!

Sada: Shigeshige-san...

Sada: Was your hair always so bushy?

Gin: Oh, this hair was on her underwear.

Sada: I don't remember that bushy object being in this room before.

Nobu: Oh, this hair was always here g*n.

Sada: Honestly, I can't tell if you're being resilient or foolish.

Gin: Wait, it worked?

Sada: But try to control yourself.

Sada: I've seen many people ruin their lives because of women.

Sada: Yes, beware of courtesans.

Tsu: My Lord.

Tsu: Please forgive my interruption.

Tsu: But there is something I must ask.

Tsu: Do you remember the courtesan Suzuran?

Tsu: No, it doesn't matter if you don't remember her.

Tsu: I just... I just...

Sasa: I see.

 So you want to know the connection between

 that courtesan and Sadasada-sama.

Shin: It sounded like you knew something.

Sasa: Let me offer you some advice.

Sasa: Give me your e-mail addresses and leave.

Shin: We don't have any!

Sasa: Become my e-mail buddies and leave.

Kag: We'd rather stay strangers!

Sasa: The courtesan who bewitched and toppled our very country...

Sasa: Stay out of this, unless you want to get yourself destroyed.

Sada: I see...

Sada: So Suzuran is still alive.

Sasa: You're right.

Sasa: Lady Suzuran was Sadasada-sama's companion when he was young.

Sasa: However, he wasn't the one who fell for her charms.

Sasa: At the time, Yoshiwara was a place for

 high-ranking officials to meet and socialize,

Sasa: and every man who visited was entranced by her.

Sada: Suzuran...

Sada: How could I forget her?

Sada: I could never forget.

Sada: Those eyes shining with kindness...

Sada: The graceful way she moved...

Sada: Her silky hair...

Sada: Glossy lips...

Sada: Supple skin...

Sada: And...

Sada: ...those blood-stained hands.

Sada: I'd love to suck them off again.

Sasa: He was using her.

Sasa: Using her as a tool to topple this country.

Sasa: And after becoming g*n,

Sasa: he prepared a puppet to succeed him,

Sasa: so his influence in the palace would not wane.

Kag: What about that promise?!

Sasa: Do you really think that man

 would grant freedom to a tool who knew his secrets?

Sasa: If he ever made such a promise, he was lying.

Sasa: It was nothing more than a curse to maintain control

Sasa: over his tool.

Sasa: That cunning old man is not someone you can handle.

Sasa: You should go home and let the elites deal with this.

Sasa: Yoshiwara was only the beginning.

Sasa: This place has become his hunting ground.

Sasa: Who knows what might happen to you...

Sasa: I just got a curry udon stain out the other day.

Sasa: See? I told you that you were asking for trouble...

Shin: Sa-Sasaki-san!

Sada: Yes, I've found some more tools to use.

Sada: Apprehend them.

Sada: These criminals are guilty of m*rder Bakufu officials

 as well as the leader of those snooping dogs.

Hiji: Sasaki was taken down.

Hiji: Well, his life was forfeit once he let m*rder inside the palace.

Hiji: The Mimawarigumi have been removed from palace security.

Hiji: It won't be long before they disband.

Hiji: And we've been selected to take their place.

Hiji: But something about this stinks.

Kondo: Stinks?! What does?!

Hiji: I hear the alleged criminals in the serial Bakufu m*rder were apprehended,

Hiji: and they'll be ex*cuted tomorrow morning

 without conducting any investigation.

Hiji: It sounds like they're trying to cover something up.

Kondo: Oh, whew.

Kondo: I thought he could smell my gas.

Hiji: Kondo-san?

Kondo: R-Right!

Kondo: Something's not right.

Kondo: Let's clean up these m*rder.

Gin: Oh! Kondo-kun! Hijikata-kun!

Gin: Fancy meeting you here!

Gin: Perfect timing!

Gin: I need to talk to you.

Gin: I'm gonna k*ll you, you rotten cops!

Gin: Don't ignore me! Hear me out!

Hiji: It's hopeless. That's some stubborn filth they're covered in.

Kondo: That won't ever clean off.

Gin: Everyone! That gorilla pooped a little when he farted earlier!

Kondo: How do you know that?!

Oki: It's no use, boss.

Oki: You picked the wrong enemy this time.

Oki: Nobody's going to lend an ear to your pleas.

Kag: Then rip off your ear and lend it to us!

Oki: Sorry, my ears have a prior engagement.

Kag: Then give me an ear of corn!

Oki: Oh? I see a familiar face in there.

Oki: That's odd. Why is there an elite locked up with the scum?

Oki: What will happen to the Mimawarigumi if I tell the g*n?

Oki: Oh, yeah.

Oki: Sorry, you guys are already finished, regardless.

Nobu: Hand over a Pon De Ring!

Oki: That's what you want?! You're ripping me apart!

Kag: Give me my dinner!

Shin: We really picked the wrong opponent this time.

Shin: Sasaki-san said that the palace was Sadasada's hunting ground now.

Shin: And Sasaki-san was also...

Nobu: He's alive.

Nobu: Isaburo is alive.

Tsu: So it turns out you were right, Gintoki.

Tsu: I was the one blinded by a false dream.

Tsu: Suzuran was waiting for a man that doesn't exist.

Tsu: She must have known

Tsu: that refusing Sadasada would mean her death.

Tsu: That the promise was meant to chain her to Yoshiwara.

Tsu: Suzuran wasn't waiting for anyone.

Tsu: She had no choice but to cling to her dreams.

Gramp: Shigeshige-sama!

Gramp: Please reconsider!

Gramp: Those people are Princess Soyo's friends!

Gramp: If you must punish someone,

Gramp: please slice off my ass instead!

g*n: Calm down, Grampy.

g*n: My uncle was the one who saw what happened.

g*n: I know nothing.

Gramp: But you're the only one who can stop him!

Sada: There's no need to worry.

Sada: They are m*rder.

Sada: Or are you saying that I'm lying?

Gramp: B-By no means...

Sada: Get some rest, Shigeshige-san.

Sada: This old man will take care of everything for you.

Kon: Lord Sadasada?!

Kon: Is that true?!

Oki: I don't know if it's true, but that's their story.

Kon: Toshi!

Hiji: So what?

Hiji: Our job is to defend Edo.

Hiji: It's not our problem if those pigs want to feed on one another.

Kon: But if we ignore what's happening,

 we'll be no better than them!

Hiji: Don't forget that those pigs are the only reason

Hiji: we country boys get to play samurai.

Kon: I'm not interested in being a bogus samurai that doesn't follow a code!

Hiji: We have to play bogus samurai if we want to defend anything!

Kon: Don't you realize that this is what we're supposed to be defending!

Yama: Hey! Hold on!

Yama: What are you two doing?!

Gin: Shut up!

Gin: I can't get any sleep, you bastards!

Kag: Soyo-chan!

Gin: Is she going to save us while those fools are fighting?

Soyo: Um, I was having trouble falling asleep all by myself.

Soyo: Can I sleep out here?

Soyo: I'd gotten used to Nobume-san sleeping with me,

 so I was too scared to fall asleep.

Shin: Uh, we're the ones who should be too scared to fall asleep.

Soyo: I'm a little nervous since this is almost like a sleepover.

Shin: Uh, we're the ones who should be nervous.

Shin: We're going to be ex*cuted tomorrow.

Soyo: Don't worry.

Soyo: Grampy will prove your innocence.

Soyo: If you still can't fall asleep...

Soyo: I know!

Soyo: I can tell you some bedtime stories

 that Grampy told me when I was little.

Soyo: They're so boring that you'll fall asleep in no time.

Soyo: Um...

Soyo: Long, long ago...

Shin: How boring do you expect it to be?!

Shin: That's rude!

Soyo: Long, long ago, there was a lord and his retainer.

Soyo: The lord's wife was the most beautiful princess in the land,

Soyo: and she cared about him very much.

Soyo: But the lord used the princess's feelings,

Soyo: threw her in prison, and forced her to do terrible things.

Soyo: The princess could only cry in her prison every night.

Soyo: The retainer felt sorry for the princess and often came to wipe her tears.

Soyo: Yes, for he had fallen in love with the princess.

Soyo: However...

Sada: Dispose of Suzuran.

Soyo: The retainer would be k*lled if he didn't obey.

Soyo: But he couldn't bring himself to k*ll the woman he loved.

Soyo: Instead, they made a promise.

Soyo: They would escape together.

Soyo: "I will take you with me on the night of the next full moon."

Soyo: And then they exchanged a pinky swear.

Soyo: But he never returned,

Soyo: for the lord already knew about them.

Sada: How long will Suzuran wait for you,

Sada: a man who's long forgotten his promise?

Sada: The woman will wait for the rest of her life

 for a man who will never come,

Sada: while the man will live the rest of his life

 with the pain of breaking his promise.

Sada: A beautiful story, yes?

Soyo: If the retainer were to go see the princess, she would be k*lled.

Soyo: Their promise was transformed into a chain heavier than death.

Soyo: So he swore to himself.

Soyo: It didn't matter how many full moons came and went.

Soyo: It didn't matter if they were covered in wrinkles.

Soyo: It didn't matter if the princess forgot about him.

Soyo: He would live until the day he met her.

Soyo: And so, he continues to live by crawling on his three limbs.

Sada: Maizo, I heard something fascinating that

 I wanted to pass on to you.

Sada: Suzuran is still living in Yoshiwara.

Sada: But she won't survive much longer.

Sada: Do you wish to see her?

Sada: How many full moons have come and gone?

Sada: I suppose it's time to forgive you.

Sada: I'll let you go see her.

Sada: Take responsibility for inviting those criminals into the palace.

Sada: Disembowel yourself.

Sada: Suzuran will be waiting for you in hell.

Soyo: And the princess and retainer were...

Tsu: Stop.

Tsu: We've heard enough, Your Highness.

Soyo: You weren't able to fall asleep?

Gin: No.

Gin: We already know the rest of the story.

Shin: Can you open the door now, Your Highness?

Soyo: Huh? How?

Kag: Over there.

Kag: They were tossed in when you entered.

Kon: What are you waiting for?

Kon: Come out here. It's time for your execution.

Kon: Put on your execution clothes.

Oki: Boss, don't forget you have an appointment

 with the executioner's block.

Oki: Make sure you come back with your head attached

Oki: since we'll need to chop it off.

Hiji: Try to commit a crime that's worthy of this punishment.

Hiji: What crime will you be guilty of?

Gin: The crime of

Gin: ripping off a lord's topknot down there.

Kon: This may be the last time we send him off.

Nobu: The same goes for you.

Nobu: Now that you've sided with us, there's no turning back.

Hiji: Don't worry about that.

Hiji: If you cause an uproar, that old man will start to show his true colors.

Hiji: Once there's no one left to interfere, we'll grill him good.

Oki: So you can go die in peace.

Oki: Or do you want me to dispatch you now,

Oki: m*rder?

Nobu: Remember this.

Nobu: You have no allies in this palace.

Nobu: If you aren't prepared to take over this country, you'll all die.

Nobu: The only difference is that

 you'll be eliminated by that old man instead of me.

Nobu: If you want to join in the battle for this nation,

Nobu: forget about anything being black or white.

Sada: What's going on?

Sada: Are there more bandits about?

Gin: Zura would love to see this.

Gin: Who would have thought we'd be trying

 to seize this country for the sake of an old woman?

Shin: This makes us wanted criminals.

Shin: Sis won't be happy.

Kag: Don't worry, sister lover.

Kag: If there's no place for us on Earth, we'll go to space.

Gin: Odd Jobs in space?

Gin: That doesn't sound too bad.

Tsu: The independent city Yoshiwara will keep you safe.

Gin: Odd Jobs in Yoshiwara?

Tsu: No, there's a gay bar that's understaffed.

Soyo: That means we'll be seizing your balls after you seize this country.

Kag: Ow!

Kag: Why did you h*t me?!

Gin: Were you the one who brought her with us?

Gin: Were you the one who taught her those dirty jokes?

Kag: It's your fault for telling dirty jokes to innocent little girls!

Kag: Girls our age absorb everything like sponges!

Gin: A sponge?! You're more like a dirty rag soaked in milk!

Kag: Shut up, toilet paper!

Gin: I at least deserve to be called a rag! A rag used to wipe asses!

Tsu: Are you sure about this?

Tsu: You'll be sacrificing everything for Yoshiwara.

Gin: It's too late.

Gin: I already made a promise.

Tsu: I see.

Tsu: In that case...

Tsu: Promise me this.

Tsu: We will all return alive.

Gin: It's a promise.

Tsuzuku,Caption: To be continued...

Gin: I'm starting to feel the pressure.

Gin: There was the One Piece film at the end of the year.

Gin: Then you've got Hunter x Hunter and Dragon Ball films in spring, and us in summer.

Kag: We should ask TV Tokyo to show our movie with the Pokemon movie.

Gin: That's it!

Shin: That's it, my ass!
