Gintama.: Shirogane no Tamashii hen

W-Wait...

After breaking the code and abandoning your crew,

where are you going to live out your life now?

You're the Dakini's greatest warrior, the one hailed as the "Divine Horn."

Are you really going to leave the battlefield forever?

I'd give away these horns if I could.

How many planets do you think we've turned into wastelands?

How many lives blooming on those planets have we plucked right out of the ground?

Just as we Dakini were born to fight,

the lives we plucked out must've been trying to bloom for a purpose of their own.

I now want to see how they live, and what kind of flowers they will make bloom.

I hear you were being treated for a parasite you contracted on Planet Kohaku.

They said it was a parasitic plant that takes root in its host's brain,

and that you changed completely as a person ever since.

I didn't change.

I bloomed.

I grew a flower of my own.

Silver Soul Arc

Jump and Power Creep Go Hand-in-Hand

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

Your friends are takin' a nap outside.

You should be careful. This town is a bit dangerous.

If you're caught sleepin', you'll have everythin' stolen in a flash!

You fiends!

We operate under the policy of one for all.

We would gladly lay down our lives for the greater good.

That's the way of the Shinra.

I told you...

We remember how you people kill.

You're not alone?

Well, neither are we.

I guess fighting as a group isn't so bad once in a while.

I dunno. I was this close to skewering the annoying ganguro geezer, too.

Well, too bad about that.

Sotatsu-sama!

See that?

This is the power of the universe's greatest gangsters,

the Sewer Rats led by Jirocho!

And I'm the Sewer Rats' right-hand man,

the greatest seven-three part in the universe, Kurogoma Katsu—

The universe's greatest gangsters, my ass!

Our young'uns were the ones who took down the enemy's boss!

We're the universe's greatest gangsters, the Odd Jobs Family!

When did we become gangsters?!

Besides, you ain't the right hand man of the Sewer Rats, Kacchan.

Jirochon said he'd leave the family's future in my hands.

What?!

Why haven't I heard of this? What's this about, Jirochon?!

Who're you calling Jirochon?

Do you have any idea how much I did to keep the gang going while you were gone?

Ever since that time, I've always thought of you as...

Yes. Back then, I was as sharp as a knife, hurting anyone who dared touch me.

Whoops. Sorry about that.

Hey, hold it right there!

You bump into someone and that's all you got to say?

Wh-Who are you?

Kid, snapping at everyone around you in a youthful frenzy is all well and good,

but let me say just one thing...

Do we really need a flashback for you?

He rejected my flashback within the flashback!

I think it went something like that.

Could you not alter my flashback, old man?!

You can't do this after multiple flashbacks about your youth!

Anyway, I fell for you back then and followed you all this while!

And you're tellin' me to quit right after I got the gang back on its feet?!

I don't remember ever saying that in the first place.

What kind of father would want his daughter to be a gangster?

What? But you said, "I'm sure you could handle being the young leader."

It was a hypothetical statement. I didn't tell you to actually take that spot.

You did, too.

No, I didn't.

You did, too!

No, I didn't.

But you really did say it...

Pirako, I can't back down on this.

If I let you take such halfway measures,

I'd never hear the end of it from your mother, who left you in my care.

If you're gonna do it, take the throne, Boss Pirarin.

Jirochon will be yakuza association chairman.

Hooray!

That's what you meant by halfway?!

Aren't you glad, Katsuo?

Now you'll forever be the right-hand man—halfway to the top.

I never said I wanted to be the right-hand man of the Pirarin Family!

There's a limit to bein' a doting father!

Young Miss, when will the Jirocho we know and love return to us?

Not Young Miss, Kacchan. That's "Boss" to you.

What will I do with you?

I'll let you off with five chopped fingers this time.

It'll be ten each from next time.

How many fingers do you think I have?!

Good grief. I really should've skewered him.

If this keeps up, even if we chase off the Liberation Army,

this town still won't ever be peaceful.

Do you think this town will calm down once I die?

You'll still be here after I'm gone.

And those guys will still be here after you're gone.

Those brash kids who only feel

truly alive within the hustle and bustle.

Tatsugoro...

This ain't your place to die.

Let's go back together, Tatsugoro,

to our town.

But if we walk this slowly, she'll become a gran by the time we get back.

But I guess that ain't too bad.

That's the one thing I want to see most right now.

Jirocho...

What kind of town do you think our home will become?

What kind of geezers and grans will you become,

and what kind of youngsters will gather there?

Knowing us, we'll be stubborn geezers lecturing youngsters who can't stand us.

That sounds amazing.

I want to hurry up and lecture some kids.

Yeah, I can't wait, either.

The first was that man.

And I used my broken horn as motivation to grow much stronger.

So why have I had a horn broken once again?

Why are we once again...

running in fear from these apes like so?

And it isn't just us.

The head?!

Retreat!

Don't let them escape!

What are these people?

How are they driving back proud warrior races one after the other?

The lives we plucked out must've been trying to bloom for a purpose of their own.

What were they born for, and what are they living for?

What is the name of the flower these Earthlings are growing?

They're finally falling apart.

But unless we do something about their main force,

we'll still be in a desperate situation.

If they regroup with the main force, that's it for us.

What we did would amount to nothing more than sticking a needle into an elephant.

Sure, one needle isn't enough to defeat an elephant.

But if it were tipped with poison, it'd soon spread throughout that huge body

and render the elephant immobile.

Fear is contagious, you know?

Kabuki District First

If they wanna get out of this town, let them.

But...

Only after we've laced them with the poison known as fear!

Pako?

Our visitors will be leaving, Mama.

They had their fair share of fun in our town.

Right down to their butt hair, we'll...

...fleece them for everything they've got!

N-No way!

The last mercenary group came back with their tails between their legs!
