Gintama. (銀魂)

What's goin' on aboard their ships?

The enemy's got some kind of monster-level hacker, if they can do this.

Your fleet is in my hands.

You don't have long before you must make your decision.

Gintama

The Battle on Rakuyo

Please watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!!!!!

The one best suited to sit on that throne is not Shigeshige.

It is you.

You are the only one who can save this country.

Nobunobu-sama...

Young Master...

Nobunobu-sama...

Sheesh, what a bunch of jerks.

They're even attackin' our guest?

I'm sorry my crew was so rude, Shogun-sama.

Battle on Rakuyo Part Five

The Two Fools

Harusame Forces

Takasugi and Umibozu

Gintoki vs. Bato

Katsura vs. Shokaku

Sakamoto vs. Hankai

Just like I thought.

Everyone who wasn't on the bridge is bein' controlled by the enemy virus.

I can see bite marks.

Looks like it's spread via direct infection.

It's just like Resident Evil.

In the game, we'd just blow their heads off with a Magnum,

but since they're our allies, all we can do is run.

We've also got a Spelunker-level weak-ass to take care of.

Reality is such a bullshit game.

I don't recall asking for help.

I'm sure. And I don't recall helping you.

I only followed the captain's orders.

What are you planning?

I'm the one who killed Shogun Shigeshige

and put your comrades in such dire straits.

If I intended to kill you, I wouldn't have brought you on this ship.

You're the one who said I was no longer worth using.

Even if you don't have a single soldier to protect you,

and you're forced to let the enemy spare your pathetic life,

you don't have the right to die.

You have a duty to witness the fate of the country,

along with the effects your deeds had on it.

No matter how much you have to disgrace yourself.

It doesn't matter if you're a wise ruler or a foolish one.

Once a man bears the burden of leadin' a country,

he can't expect dying to be that simple.

Hey. We've got a call from the bridge.

I tried to track the enemy's location through their communications,

but as I thought, they're carefully hidden.

So we have to track down the Zaku by fumblin' in the dark, huh?

Who knows how long that'll take?

Do you mean the mechanical man?

D-Don't tell me...

I guess the hardest thing to see is what's right under your nose.

The enemy's been aboard this ship from the start,

releasing the nanomachine virus and watching us panic?

So why hack the other ships and have them attack us?

You're absolutely sure you saw him head this way, right?

It's up to you whether or not you believe me.

That won't change the truth in what I saw.

Most likely, the attack and the virus were both just smokescreens.

His real goal is the Kairinmaru.

The central system on the Kairinmaru is equipped with the latest in firewalls.

It ain't gonna be easy to infiltrate.

In other words, what's goin' on right now

is an attempt to buy time until the enemy can take over the Kairinmaru.

Mutsu, the enemy's in the control room.

Let's hurry.

Not only did he save me, his enemy,

but he believed me.

Is he a big man, or just a big fool?

Sakamoto Tatsuma...

He's a strange man.

What's wrong, Shogun-sama?

You're starin' at Mutsu's ass and not sayin' a thing.

What are you—

Oh, no. It looks like the Kairinmaru is rusting in places.

It needs maintenance.

You little...

Hey, captain. Switch places.

I would never be interested in the ass of a low-born girl!

Wait, that's dangerous!

Okay then, Shogun-sama, you can stare at my ass.

And I can stare at Mutsu's ass...

You can go get your ass chewed on by the infected.

I'll hurry on to the control room in the meantime.

W-Wait!

You bastard!

You let your crew treat you that way, and you call yourself a captain?

I don't wanna hear it from a shogun who was abandoned by his retainers!

I wasn't abandoned.

I abandoned them!

Just draw your gun!

Hell no!

Even if my men abandon me, I won't abandon them!

I'm a space trader!

I have all kinds of space-stuff to deal with a situation like this!

The HikikomoRevolver!

A gun that fires a net that entangles the enemy,

symbolizing the way that the net traps modern kids and turns them into hikikomori.

So he's trying to immobilize the enemy?

Here goes.

Okay, now they can't touch us.

And we can't touch them, either.

I didn't expect him to use it like that.

Sakamoto Tatsuma...

Is he a big man, or just a big fool?

I just don't understand him!

But we're stuck now, too!

No need to worry.

I thought this might happen, so...

NEETly Rice Cakes!

Scattering these and getting your enemy to eat them

symbolizes the way NEET society causes a NEET to waste their potential by

devouring their parents' income.

Is he trying to delay the enemy?

We can hang out here for a while now.

I didn't expect him to use it like that.

Sakamoto Tatsuma...

Is he a big man, or just a big fool?

I don't understand him at all!

He's just a big fool, obviously!

Are you so useless, you make your retainers play the straight man?!

You fools!

My steamed buns!

Hey, I didn't say you could have those!

When you get back to normal, you'll pay for this.

He's definitely just a fool.

Both he and I are fools who can't even get a single one of our men

to do what we want.

So why doesn't he give up?

Why does he look as if he knows he's not alone?

What's the difference between him and me?

I don't like it!

I don't—

Close the door!

Where's the enemy?

Were we wrong?

No, I'm here.

Mutsu!

The enemy's here.

Right inside this man.

Nobunobu, you...

M-My body isn't doing what I want it to!

I see!

By that time, my body was already...

Yes.

It's not yours anymore.

The 3rd Division Commander, Hankai,

has no body of his own.

If he did have a body, it would only be a container.

What's inside you now is me.

So you invaded Nobunobu's body to get at me?

Your guess was wrong.

I can take over the systems on this ship with my virus.

As you saw, I took over your crew.

And...

Your last remaining companion, too.

You're all that's left, Sakamoto Tatsuma.

An army without soldiers.

That's what they call the 3rd Division.

But it appears that name is better suited to you.

The Kaientai you once commanded will become my 3rd Division.

Don't worry as you die.

Nobody will cry over your death.

Even if my men abandon me, I won't abandon them!

You want my crew and my ship?

Then let me give you a warning as a merchant.

If you want to buy a company,

you should investigate it thoroughly first.

Unfortunately, my company's been responsible for a death,

so we're hellbound anyway.

A serious problem has occurred with the control system.

The system will now move to emergency mode.

All crew, please evacuate immediately.

Have you gone mad?

Did you decide to destroy the Kaientai and this ship rather than lose everything?

A man who's not willing to go down with his ship

doesn't have the right to fly with it.

Are you willing to do that?

Don't tell me he...

The damage to the system is minimal.

If I compensate for the lost functionality myself,

it can be restored easily.

You will be the only one to sink,

Sakamoto Tatsuma!

That's what Sakamoto Tatsuma wanted!

He shot the control device to try to

rip out the enemy that's inside me...

He still won't abandon me, after all this?

Even when I...

Sorry, Shogun,

but you should save your thinking for when you're alone.

I can hear every detail of your plan.

Shogun, I can tell exactly what you're thinking.

Is this feeling anger, or sadness?

The only person who tried to protect you died for your sake.
