003

Takasugi: GINTOKIIIIIIIIII!!!
(Sfx- Bushihhh blsssh)
(Sfx- Karararan clattter)
???: Do not waste...
the lives that your teacher picked up.

011
Tendoushuu: You really intend to let them leave here with their lives?
Is it that you pity that man...Shouyou...?
Oboro.
Oboro: They no longer have anyone to protect.
To a Samurai that is the same as death.
It is more likely than anything that...
They will break themselves now that they know their weakness.
There's absolutely no value in killing them.
After all they lack the ability to ever pick up a sword again.

012
Takasugi: The last thing that was reflected...
in this left eye was...

013
Takasugi: Your face.
The enemy seared into this eye...
If it had been the Bakfu alone that would have made things simple....
(Sfx- Geho cough)
(Sfx-Gofuuh fuuhh)

014
(Sfx- Hyu hyuh huff huff)
Takasugi: But our true enemies....
are none other than ourselves.
In spite of....
all the fighting we did to save that person...
Because of our weakness that man's life became a foothold..
for us to continue living.
And you...
bore the brunt of that sin.
When this eye remembers your face that has been seared into it...
All of my injuries clamor out in pain...

015
Takasugi: Why was I unable to get revenge for my teacher?
If I could just pierce that heart with a sword everything would be over...
But that's just it...
We're survivors of that incident right?
...Why...
Did you save us?
Why...
Did you abandon our teacher and not save him instead?
I know you of all people could do it....
You even promised me you would...
You of all people...
Should have wanted to..
save that man more than any of us.

016
(Sfx- Pota pota drip drip)
Takasugi: Why...
Why....
(Sfx- Zuzuhhh ssshhht)
Takasugi: Why did you choose to save us Gintoki?
Gintoki: ...What if...
Back then you were in my place? What would have happened..?
It's because of this you...
Can point a sword at me right?
(Sfx- Zakuhh sshfft)
Gintoki: That's why...
You aren't able to point a sword at yourself, but the other you right?
More than wanting to stab yourself with your blade you've found a pain and an enemy...
that you want to take down more than anything.

017
Gintoki: But too bad...
You can't defeat me.
Until you fall...
Until you are stopped...
I'll keep right on standing.
Takasugi, I don't remember choosing you over anyone.
It's just more than what you think is important...
{Please protect everyone for me..}
Gintoki: I know what was important to him more than anything...
If I...have to step upon our teacher's corpse to overcome...
Hell, if I have to step upon your corpse to overcome this then...

018
Gintoki: I'll protect the soul of his student...
Takasugi Shinsuke of the Shouka shonjyuku.
I am...Yoshida Shouyou's student...
Sakata Gintoki.
Takasugi: Heh....
Even after this you still call me that....
I see....
I had no idea...I still...
haven't been excommunicated huh...
(Sfx- Dohhh thoook)
