Gintama.: Shirogane no Tamashii hen 2

Gintama

Silver Soul

Shinsuke-sama!

Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!!!

That'll be enough.

We didn't come here for a clash of hatred.

So please, men.

Could you hold it in?

No need for that.

Finish me off.

My hatred, and my sorrow with it,

will stay with me as long as I'm alive.

The object of her vengeance... was me.

I kept running away from her and to the battlefield,

so I must be fated to die here.

Are you scared of the war ending?

Once it's over, even a hero will go back to being an ordinary man.

But that's his real battlefield.

Now that your body is no longer capable of running,

face your suffering and struggle for the rest of your life,

as an ordinary man.

You...

I'm not all that different from you.

I'm drowning in the countless sins I've committed.

However...

If the man wrought by my sins...

If that man over there tells me to stop, I have no choice but to stop.

Takasugi...

Good grief. Can't defy the shogun's orders, can we?

I don't intend to look up at that man as a shogun.

But...

If the real shogun were here,

perhaps I would have.

This is our battlefield no longer.

Burdened with hatred and sorrow you may be,

but you must still live on, my people.

The same eyes.

I could never match up to people with that look in their eyes.

The land of the samurai, eh?

It is a wonderful country with wonderful people and a wonderful king.

I shall stop this ship from crashing.

Would you help me?

Prince.

You fool.

With those men,

you could have walked down a path to a different future.

Why didn't you realize sooner, you fool?

Forgive me, Shijaku.

Ensho!

S-Screw that!

We kept fighting all this time under your orders!

If you stop now, what did our comrades die for?!

Why, you!

Seize him!

Ensho! Ensho!

Nobunobu!

Would you stop?!

Hold it in...

Did you not hear me the first time?

Nobunobu...

Forgive that man.

He has said nothing wrong.

If you still have ammunition,

shoot me until you're satisfied.

As the ones who started this war,

we are obligated to take those shots.

Fire every last shot you have.

Even so,

my people will suppress their hatred and end this war!

Hurry! Hurry up and treat him!

Th-The medics are...

They're all treating Mutsu-sama and Elizabeth-san on Nobunobu-sama's orders.

Nobunobu, you...

It's fine. I knew this was coming.

From the moment I killed the shogun to take his place.

I don't think I could ever fill Shigeshige's shoes,

but if a shogun in name alone

can stop a war by simply laying down his life,

what more could you ask for?

Our war ain't over yet.

"Once a man bears the burden of leadin' a country, he can't expect ta die so easily."

Did you forget I told you that?

Are you tryin' to make us foolish people who let their king die twice?!

King?

You're willing to call me that?

You were one of the stupidest rulers in history.

But back then, when you fought with us to protect our country,

our king certainly was there.

Of all the silly things to say.

Don't your hearts have them already?

You were the ones who each fought for the kings within your hearts.

Our country no longer needs a shogun.

I think I finally understand why he said that.

Even then, even if it was only for a moment,

if I could become your shogun,

then perhaps there was meaning to Tokugawa Nobunobu's life.

Thank you.

And...

I'm sorry.

It seems the time has come.

As the last shogun, I must go with them.

A kingless era is coming.

But...

I know all of you will be fine.

I leave the rest to you,

the countless kings inheriting this country.

Let's put an end to this era that gave birth to so much sorrow.

And let's begin,

by chopping off the shackles

of the past,

our new era.

Silver Soul Arc

Countless Kings

The dragon is calming down.

Someone is quelling the surge in the ley lines.

Only they could be capable of such a feat.

They're still alive?

The Priestesses of the Golden Dragon and the Dog Deity...

From the clan who have watched over the Gate since ancient times.

The ones who subdue the dragon's rage and quell its surges.

They are...

Hello! Ane-chan, the cabaret priestess, right?

Long time no talk!

Sorry. You went to the trouble of calling me,

but I can't come to the club tonight.

The world's about to be destroyed, you see.

I can't get off work! I don't know what to do!

Oh, it's fine. I just wanted to hear your voice.

Okay, later!

As if!

Who'd make cabaret club sales calls at this time?!

Were you listening to a word I said?

I am listening.

Basically, you have two jobs: cabaret girl and protector of the world.

You just want me to keep it a secret from the club, right?

Get your head out of the cabaret club already!

Listen up, and listen well.

We'll go around subduing the ley line outbursts.

You shut down whoever it is that's controlling the gate below the terminal!

That way, things will go back to normal.

Ane-chan...

Please.

All of this is happening to our country

because our clan couldn't protect the gate from the Amanto in the first place.

We want to take back what we lost back then.

But I don't know if you still have the manpower to pull it off...

Yeah, we might not have enough.

But if I'm ordering Dom Perignon for everyone at the victory party,

this will make it easier on my bank account.

You look like death. What's wrong?

Looking for something?

Is it this silver big bro over here,

or the bloodied big bro over here?

Just kidding.

Gin-chan! Kamui!

Thank goodness! We believed you'd make it!

Did you do this to Gin-chan?!

Please don't insult me.

That monster stole my prey before,

so I repaid the favor.

You just tried to kill him before Utsuro could!

I get the feeling I would've been better off eating the Altana explosion.

You would've died if I'd gone all-out, y'know.

I would've died if I hadn't gone all-out, too.

Well, learn your lesson from this and be more careful.
