Gintama. (銀魂)

Here we are.

It's the late night slot.

Late Night

Goodbye, Red-Haired Esper

The Goddess of the Night

"No Airing the Nitty-Gritties of Ketsuno Ana!" After predicting heavy rain once again for tonight, Ketsuno Ana does a surprise raid on Snack Bar Smile"

This place is kinda dusty.

Deal with it.

What's this?

Probably something the previous occupant left behind.

To the Late Night Slot

Now, then...

Shinpachi.

Yes?

This is a late night slot.

We'll need to greet the viewers appropriately.

Right.

Hello to all you night owls watching the television.

The Gintama anime will now resume in its late night incarnation.

One, two...

Gilgamesh!

You just wanted to do that, didn't you?!

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

Ow...

Damn, not yet.

My sword ain't broken yet.

One more time,

Shoyo!

You nearly had me there, Gintoki.

Where, exactly?

There.

Could you be more specific?

Right around there.

How can I be as strong as you, Shoyo?

I'd never lost until I met you, not even to grown-ups.

But you're far less simple than a grown-up.

You're a giant.

You're wrong, Gintoki. I am...

a Hanshin fan.

Would you listen to me?

I'm saying I've never seen a monster like you.

What the hell were you up to before we met?

Who the hell are you?

You were called the "Corpse-Eating Devil," so you should understand.

There's no difference between a monster and the child of a monster.

They are both inhuman beings that are only born within a bloody pool of sin.

And a monster's sword cannot cut another monster.

So, Gintoki,

stop trying to grow stronger by imitating me.

I'm not going to teach you how to wield the sword like me, either.

You have to grow stronger than me using your own sword,

the sword of a human.

I expect great things from you.

Someday, hopefully...

You'll come cut down the monster that I am.

It's too bad.

Like I said, a monster's sword...

Your sword can't reach me.

Just a dream, huh?

Gintama

The Battle on Rakuyo

Elizabeth! An enemy attack?

That's right.

A seriously lethal weapon was about to pierce my skull.

What?

The evil arm of the bakufu extends all the way to this underground town of Akiba?

But rest assured, Gintoki.

We will protect your life in hiding.

Don't let a single rat get close to the hideout!

Don't you dare let anyone find out Gintoki is here!

Even from space, you could tell this is a hideout!

Go look up the word "hiding" in the dictionary!

Like I need all your nasty b*lls lined up in that tiny-ass room!

I never asked you morons to be my bodyguards.

Even if you didn't, nobody would leave their group's ace to die.

I don't recall becoming any group's ace.

It's too late to play that card now, Gintoki.

You charged into Edo Castle,

got into a huge fight with the bakufu army, and threw Lord Sadasada out of power.

You insulted and harassed the former shogun, Shigeshige, many a time,

and even punched his successor, Nobunobu, injuring him gravely.

You took part in the Shinsengumi's mutiny

and helped them rescue their commander, Kondo Isao, from the bakufu.

Even among the Joi Rebels, nobody else has pulled off so many acts of terror!

You're a terrorist, and a far more radical one than Takasugi and me, at that!

There's no going back for you at this point.

You will never have a peaceful life again.

You won't even be able to hold your loved ones with your bloodstained hands!

The only thing left in those hands is a bloody, metallic revolution!

Uh, you practically sound like a bad guy.

I never committed any acts of terror.

I punched a guy who pissed me off, and he just happened to represent the country.

And, since it turned into a big deal,

I just tried to cut it into pieces and bury it.

Don't lump me in with you lot.

Forget terrorist, you're just a homicidal maniac!

Do you think you can go back to the Kabuki District once things calm down?

I hate to break it to you, but that's impossible.

Ack!

A wanted poster?!

If this face triggers your memory, call

For real? They're circulating these?

And that photo just screams violence.

Who took this? And when?

Isn't this just some violent impostor in a wig?

I'm not an impostor. I'm Katsura.

It was you?!

The previous photo made you look way too evil,

so I took your guise, showed off your sweet tooth, and had a fancier one taken.

It's supposed to be me eating cake?

Just having the cake cut off made me look so violent?

And then I circulated the new one.

Recall it!

If this face triggers your memory, call

Don't worry. I altered it.

Odd Jobs Gin-chan Akiba Branch

We're Odd Jobs Gin-chan, and we've expanded into Akiba!

Need to collect Love Live! bonus items or sell off your Love Live! Sunshine!! goods?

You name it, we'll do it!

If this face triggers your memory, come see us!

Can I do this if I get triggered instead?

Reusing wanted posters as store flyers? Could you make this any more violent?!

Now is the time for positive thinking, Gin-san.

What you're doing is more like primitive thinking!

Even when we fall, we don't get back up for free. That's the Odd Jobs motto.

I'll give you money, so stay down! Never get back up again, please!

Don't worry.

Akiba folk are just walking corpses who ironically call themselves Love Livers.

Nobody cares about you.

You'd better knock it off, or you'll be wanted by Love Livers, too!

Don't look down on Love Livers!

Those guys are insane!

Not even love survivor ninja robots would be a match for them!

Oh, hello? Uh...

There's a guy here who looks a lot like someone on a wanted poster.

Uh, hello?

My phone!

Are you stupid?

Excuse me. I'm here because I saw the flyer.

Odd Jobs Gin-chan Akiba Branch...

Mind if I make a request?

Looks like you'll need to relocate again,

Odd Jobs.

Right back at you.

I would've thought you'd left Edo long ago.

What happened to the Mimawarigumi?

I don't have the ability or right to lead them anymore.

A lot of them wanted to repay Kondo Isao for saving them on the battlefield,

so they went with the Shinsengumi.

They'll be much better off with a man like him.

I've got my own job to do...

As Sasaki Isaburo's comrade,

and...

as one of Shoyo's pupils.

I can't let this country and that man do what they want.

I didn't know I had a junior here.

But you know a side of Yoshida Shoyo that we don't know...

You know Utsuro, don't you?

Tell us, what did Shoyo—

My.

Freeze!

You betrayed us, Imai Nobume?

Why is the White Yaksha here?

Y-You're...

One of Takasugi's Kiheitai,

Kijima ****ko!

Why the hell did you bleep that out?!

That's misleading! Just say Matako!

No, we can't talk about that in a late night anime.

Let's keep the **** under wraps, okay—

Put your gun away, D***ko.

What did you say?!

Did you just use a totally different four-letter word?!

You're the one who should put her weapon away.

The Mimawarigumi was supposed to be on our side.

Why are you with the White Yaksha's gang?

Oh, right.

Before Nobunobu sold you out,

you were working together as the Hitotsubashi Faction to take over the country.

It was Sasaki Isaburo, the individual, who formed an alliance with you.

The Mimawarigumi were only being used.

And Isaburo and the Mimawarigumi are both gone now.

So the rumors were true.

Good grief.
