Gintama.: Shirogane no Tamashii hen

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

While an "ending" is a conclusion, it is also a release.

Through an ending, we will be freed of all that shackles us.

Such as the endless cycle of foolish wars,

or the sorrow and suffering they cause.

And still, Sakata Gintoki, you stand your ground there?

You reject an ending and choose to continue suffering...

You choose the suffering of striking your teacher down?

Then I must make my own choice.

To choose the suffering of striking my disciple down.

That's...

The third and last of the Three Wings of Naraku, Hitsugi!

Teacher? Disciple?

That crap doesn't exist here.

The guy in front of me is nothing but a villain.

And the guy in front of you

is nothing but Odd Jobs!

You took his blood, too?

There's no end to them!

Time's up, huh?

I'll secure an escape route. Run away.

We can't fight both Utsuro and the Liberation Army at the same time.

I'm sorry. I didn't think things through.

That immortal man and his immortal army

can't be defeated by us alone right now.

It won't reach.

It can't reach.

Your sword...

can't reach me.

Utsuro!

Utsuro...

Hurry!

Your glasses broke.

I hope what I'm seeing right now is a mistake caused by my glasses, too.

But unfortunately, it looks like my glasses weren't the only thing that broke.

Gin-san!

Nobutas!

Hurry up and stop Utsuro and the Liberation Army.

Forget about me.

We both did stuff we normally wouldn't.

I just didn't want to watch our prospects get any worse.

Then keep this in mind:

In our eyes, you're a valuable part of our prospects, too,

Mimawarigumi Vice Chief Imai Nobume.

We need you to put in your chief's share of the work.

Don't you dare drop dead here.

He'll laugh in your face.

I'm sure he already is.

Isaburo, even in a world without you, it seems I still have a purpose.

But I don't know...

You entrusted your hopes to them,

but I don't know how to protect them from that huge evil.

I don't know how to protect Edo, which has lost both its elite and hooligan cops.

Target has been silenced by concentrated fire.

No signs of any enemies remaining.

What are you saying?

The enemy's still there.

Burn everything to the ground.

We're done for!

This is why I said we should surrender at once!

But to surrender while Nobunobu-sama was in the midst of negotiating with them?

We can't believe in a figurehead shogun!

I'm sure he has long abandoned this country and fled!

If we waste time here, we'll end up dying with the country, too!

Go ahead and flee.

No need to worry about the country.

I'll watch over the castle while everybody's gone.

P-Princess Soyo.

Princess Soyo did what?

Why didn't you keep a closer eye on her? I repeatedly told you to take utmost care.

We're terribly sorry.

We couldn't really follow her into the bathroom, and she took that chance.

Find her at once.

Ma'am!

This country's done for.

You only have one job now.

Run away, Princess Soyo.

Edo'll be engulfed in the flames of war soon.

Arrange a ship that'll get you off of Earth immediately.

Zenzo-san, I want to fight alongside you all.

After all, I am his...

Shogun Tokugawa Shigeshige's sister.

You're not the shogun's sister anymore.

Watch your mouth, Zenzo-dono!

You're just a sister, and it's your duty to live your brother's share of life.

And as the one who failed to protect your brother,

it's my duty to protect you to the end.

What happened to Brother wasn't your fault.

Forget it.

If you're going to throw a tantrum, I'll drag you away even if I have to spank you.

Dumplings

Oh? And then what?

Will you live in a land with no familiar faces, counting all the friends you've lost?

Zenzo, using your life to make up for failing your friend is all well and good.

But don't forget that you have other friends here who are doing their best to live.

Jump is the only friend I have.

And Bessatsu Margaret is my only friend.

Bessatsu Margaret

But here's how I feel.

Living a lost friend's share of life

and fighting and dying with your friends who are still alive

are both fine displays of friendship.

Zenzo-san, he's fighting, isn't he?

Then I... We must fight, too.

We must struggle and crawl out of the depths of sorrow and hatred.

We can't be outdone!

Not by him!

That so? Got it.

Where are you going?

If the princess is staying back, then I won't be of any use by her side.

Take care of her, Momochi.

Zenzo-san!

I'm gonna do what I want, so you do as you please, too.

Not as a princess, but as his kid sister.

Princess...

What are you thinking?

You all should evacuate at once.

I'll take care of this castle myself.

Of all the preposterous ideas!

We cannot leave this castle empty.

When its people are fighting to defend the country, how can the country abandon them?

But what obligation do you have to go to such lengths?

This country took your brother's life!

And you are...

Not a princess.

I am Tokugawa Shigeshige's sister.

And I will remain that forever.

Then Utsuro is...

Sorry. I let him get away.

Or maybe he was the one who let me get away.

But he must have been caught in that explosion.

If he was the type to die from that, we wouldn't be having such a hard time.

So in the end, we couldn't do anything?

We couldn't protect anything?

Is everything going just as Utsuro wants?

Can the war no longer be stopped?

Don't give up!

It's not too late! We can still stop it!

Fire.

I told you so.

If they go crazy up in the skies, we ground troops won't get any shots at glory.

We're fighting over four dirty apes?
