Frame3
Katsura Supporters(KS): Elizabeth, we’ve reached our limit!
KS: We’re losing control!

Frame4
KS: But Katsura still hasn’t…
KS:!!

Frame5
KS: Where did that huge ship come from!?
KS: Could they be our reinforcements?

Frame6
KS: no…
KS: that’s the flag of …

Frame7
KS: No…it’s impossible
KS: Why are they here?

PAGE6
Frame1
-HARUSAME!
-SPACE PIRATES HARUSAME ARE HERE!

Frame2
TS: Katsura-san

Frame3
TS: Whether you picked up a sword for your country or for your comrade
TS: To me, its all the same

Frame4
TS: Think about it, the sword that we hold in our hand
TS: Who was the one who taught us how to use it?

Frame5
TS: The path of Bushido
TS: Who taught us its meaning?

Frame6
TS: The one who brought us a world that we could live in
TS: Without a doubt

PAGE7
Frame1
K: All this is due to the teaching of Shouyou-sensei

Frame2
TS: Yet this world
TS: Has torn him from our side

Frame3
TS: If that’s how its going to be, then I can only pick a fight with this world
TS: I can only smash this corrupted world that has torn him away from us

Frame5
TS: Well, Katsura-san, what do you live for in this world?
TS: Facing the world that has taken our sensei from us, how can you act so carefree, with no sense of humiliation?

Frame6
TS: As for me
TS: I cannot withhold my burning rage

PAGE8
Frame1
K: Takasugi…do you know how many times I have also wanted to reduce this world to smoldering ashes?
K: However, that man…has always endured it

Frame2
K: Gintoki…
K: He who has the most reason to hate this world has always endured it
K: And what can we do about it?

Frame3
K: I have no more desire left to destroy this country
K: While I was a terrorist…

Frame4
K: While I was in Edo, I gained too many valuable things

Frame5
K: Look at you now, you have lost the chance to sheathe your sword
K: and become a beast lost in destruction

Frame6
K: If you hate this country, then destroy it
K: But if you hurt the people living in Edo, then I cannot allow you to indulge yourself

Frame7
K: There has to be another way
K: That can transform this whole country without sacrifice of lives
K: And this must also be the way that Shouyou-sensei would have wished.
