The wanton disparities between the current anime arc airing and the manga arc being serialized are a part of this series's particular charm.
Hi wa mata noboru only.

Shit, this is bad...
(Sfx- Dododoooh baboooom)

Lesson 546: The last address.
Sasaki: Kondo-san...
004
Sasaki: What is...
The meaning of this?
Kondo: Oh, don't worry.
I'm not here to save you or anything.
I actually came to ask you for a hand.
Sasaki: What on earth are you saying...
Kondo: Seems we've retreated too late.
We've got a lot of hindrances dragging us back...
On the other side of that mountain.
Especially those guys in white. They bitch SO much and it's getting to be a problem.
For pete's sake. I'd really like to speak to their superior face to face, and ask him what kind of things he's been teaching them.
005
Sasaki: Don't tell me...
You've stayed behind here to pick up the fallen soldiers of the enemy....
Kondo: Those who can no longer fight are neither friend or foe.
This place has already been surrounded by the enemy.
So there's no way we can escape from here at this point.
(Sfx- Jyakii clang)
Sasaki: I may no longer be able to fight, but...
I still have more than enough remaining strength to take your head; the head of my enemy.
The one who intended to crush this country, you and your underlings was me.
Saving me has neither meaning or merit.
Your men risked their lives to come to this place and save you.
Knowing their feelings, do you really intend to render their efforts moot by saving the enemy and those who are already dead?
006
Kondo: It's not like that.
Even if I could abandon them and get out of this alive....
Kondo Isao would have died.
Is there meaning or merit in abandoning those men of yours who got injured for your sake...?
They risked their lives for my sake so then I too..
Have to protect the life of Kondo Isao...
The man who they believe in.
007
Kondo: What's on one's head isn't the crown of leadership...
But something loftier....everyone's ideals.
Sasaki: Those eyes...
Those samurai eyes and their charm...
Still retain much of the samurai in them.
I who lost out o being a father and a samurai...
Have long since died. The Sasaki Isaburo before you is a corpse that cannot protect himself nor can be protected.
Kondo: If that's true then,
Where on earth are you going?
If you have nothing to lose, and don't aim to crush anything....
Where are you desperately trying to go?
008
Kondo: There's still a fragment...
A small piece within you...
Something that you must protect no matter what it takes still remains.
Have you not noticed it Sasaki?
Right now you...
009
Kondo: Have the fierce gaze of a Samurai...
No, eyes befitting a father.
You are...
Sasaki: There's no need for you to say anything else.
I refuse to acknowledge it.
That girl who killed my wife and child...
The girl I raised and kept by my side purely for the sake of revenge....
010
Sasaki: The final entry in my completely empty address book..
Is a single name..
I had fully intended to erase everything...
Yet in the very end....
That name...
Is one that I could never erase.
(Phone- I'm coming there....to be with you and Nobume.)
Sasaki: It's a great name that I put a lot of thought into.
011
Sasaki: However I noticed...
Far too late.
That even if I send a text now it'll never get there..
Kondo: It's not too late....
Because that text of yours...
Has already reached her.
012
Kondo: Just as you fight to protect...
I'm sure she too...
Is fighting to protect you.
So don't go giving up.
Cut a path through here...
Step on whatever foothold you have to...
013
Kondo: And you'll surely meet them again.
