Y-Yo.
O-Otae...
Pardon the intrusion.
Gin-san? What's the matter?
Nothing. Just dropping by on the way home from pachinko.
Hey! Why are you drooling?
My, that's unusual.
Wait, it is?
What?
Huh?
W-Well, uh...
I got this sudden urge to see you.
Gin-san wouldn't say that!
Uh, Gin-san, what are you saying?
Did you eat something bad?
Shoot. I don't know how close these two are.
Are they more distant?
D-Don't get the wrong idea.
I might've wanted to see you, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in you.
I just wanted to get a look at your moronic mug.
Seriously, don't get the wrong idea.
What are you, a tsundere?!
What the hell do you take me for?!
Listen, why did you come here, Gin-san?
I heard it through the grapevine, you see.
Apparently you brought something home?
I'll cut right to the chase.
Dump that loser
and go out with me.
I'm Odd Jobs, and He's Shinsengumi
Dump that loser
Sakata Gintoki's (Hijikata Toshiro's) request: Watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV.
and go out with me.
What do you think you're saying in my body?
This is the easiest way to split those two up.
Easy, my ass!
Think of all the problems I'd face after I go back to normal!
Um, Hijikata-san, what brings you here?
Sorry about that.
Forget everything he said.
Anyway, I heard all about it. That's harsh, you know.
You already have the Gori—
I mean, Kondo-san.
Why are your eyes rolled back? And what's with the crooked chin?
As the Shinsengumi vice chief, I can't let this slide.
I'll cut right to the chase.
Forget about the rotten cat and the rotten gorilla
and party all night with this demon right here.
You're doing the exact same thing!
An eye for an eye! No, two eyes for an eye!
Not even kowtowing will get you off the hook for this!
How dare you try to steal the chief's woman?!
Atone for your lack of discipline by committing suicide!
Stop it, you two.
Don't fight over me.
Things have gotten really messy now!
I had no idea you two felt that way.
Very well.
I'll choose between you two
by taking your yearly incomes and the like into account.
Give me a week to think it over.
That's not the point! We're telling you to dump that monster!
I can't do that.
If you want me, you'll have to be ready to accept Dozaemon-san as well.
I'm docking you a point for that, Gin-san.
You can take a hike, then. Just let me have Dozaemon-san.
You're cheating on me before we even start dating?
I'm docking you a point for that, Hijikata-san.
Come on. Are you two really up for this?
You'll never capture Otae-san's heart acting like that.
Th-This bitch!
Knock it off!
How could you bring all these men home while I wasn't around?!
I'm not going to let Gin-san, Hijikata-san, or Dozaemon-san have you!
Sis, you belong to me!
Sh-Shinpachi? You're back to normal...
You don't have to worry anymore, Toshi.
We heard the whole story.
Leave the rest to us.
K-Kondo-san!
Otae-san,
hurry up and escape with Shinpachi-kun!
This is a dangerous monster!
It's a living embodiment of evil, born from a certain man's ill intent!
We'll handle things here!
What are you planning to do to Dozaemon-san?
Just come with me! Hurry!
Let go!
Toshi! Odd Jobs!
Quick, get the cart from out front!
Before this thing wakes up,
we must take it to the Fully Automatic Egg-on-Rice Maker!
Get going!
I always believed you guys had it in you, even without a leader!
Huh?
There's nothing here.
What are you two doing?!
They got you hook, line, and sinker.
Shinpachi? Where are you?
I only hear his voice.
Those two...
Sis, this country is no longer safe!
Let's flee somewhere far away!
Yes, Otae-san, you and me... to an island for just the two of us!
Forgive me, Gin-san.
I didn't realize that you were the real Gin-san!
But I won't get it wrong anymore.
Just me and my pet...
No, it'll be a world for just you and your pet!
Those two
are Gorilla
and Sacchan inside!
We ended up swapping bodies, too.
This is no time to be standing around, Vice Chief!
It's me, Yamazaki!
At this rate, we won't be able
to go back to normal—
We need to go after them immediately!
Put us on!
Let me go, Shin-chan!
Are you really Shin-chan?
Wh-What are you talking about, Otae-san?
I mean, Sis.
I'm your kid brother, Shimura Shinpachi!
Now I can see Otae-san up close and personal
in all sorts of different ways, and nobody can criticize me for it!
Let me go!
No.
You really aren't Shin-chan.
What are you saying, Otae-san?!
Looks like that Gorilla messed up.
Not surprising, considering he's an ape with 80% bananas for brains.
I won't screw up.
Gin-san's other half belongs to me.
After all, my brain is 90% filled with Gin-san's banana—
I hear it.
I hear milady screaming.
Gin-san!
You useless numbskulls!
Why did your egos end up inside glasses?
And what's with Hasegawa-san's body?!
He turned into a corpse the moment he lost his shades!
If you've got a problem, complain to Gengai-san instead!
Hey, look...
Th-That's my body!
Who is it? Who's in it?!
Hey! Where are you going?
Is he taking us to that monster?
Who is that?
He's not saying a word, but he's a pretty useful Yamazaki now.
I-I'm plenty useful myself, Vice Chief!
What's the matter?
Is something there, Yamazaki?
No, that's not Yamazaki.
Please clean up after me.
It's Sadaharu?!
I thought he was guiding us, but he was just looking for a place to poop!
And what the hell is he doing with my body?!
Don't look!
Do you guys really want to go back to normal?!
Isn't that obvious?!
Who on this planet would be happier as glasses or a dog?!
Hello, it's me.
Honey? What's this, all of a sudden?
I need to tell you something.
Is that really you, honey?
Your voice sounds different...
Nothing escapes you, does it?
Stay calm and hear me out, Hatsu.
Finally, finally...
I found a
new job.
We found a guy who was happy!
Why are you trying to take advantage of the switch by
getting a new career as my pet?!
Wait, Master. Hear me out.
Right now, my sense of smell is 100 million times better than a human's.
With my nose, we could locate that monster!
Really?
Hang on a sec.
I'll lead you there once I'm done marking.
Hey, he's more useful now than he was as a human.
Maybe he'd be better off staying a dog.
All right, let's go.
Huh? My body won't move.
Wait, what?
Congrats on...
...your new job.
This is what I was?!
Wait a second!
Don't leave me behind!
Are you going to abandon me here, too?!
What the hell's going on?
Most of them have switched to careers in shady businesses dealing with poop.
How are we supposed to go back to normal like this?
Th-That's...
Guys!
I won't let anyone hurt milady!
Sis!
Damn it!
Those morons made the monster reawaken!
Who's that?
Got him!
Let us show him our combo move, Sou-kun!
You got it, Kagura-chan.
Here we go—
Who are you calling Sou-kun?!
She's not Kagura. She's Thickagura-chan.
They took it out!
Kagura!
Sogo!
Sou-kun! Hang in there!
This is awful! How could you do this?!
I'm telling you, quit clinging to him in my body!
Want me to kill you, Zura?!
Huh? That's Zura?
I'm not Zura. I'm Leader.
I'm Elizabeth.
I'm Sou-kun.
Accept your fates already, former Leader and former Sou-kun.
Now that it's come to this,
we must each play the roles we've been given to perfection.
The two of us as law-abiding citizens,
and the two of you as heinous terrorists.
You're the terrorist! Quit passing the buck for your crimes!
Shut up, Elizaretch. You're being unsightly.
You shut up, Trashura!
I'm not Trashura. I'm Sou-kun.
Can't you two get along?
Katsura and Elizabeth are supposed to be bosom buddies.
You won't be able to defeat us, the buddy duo,
or crush the bakufu like that.
I'm telling you, quit touching him!
It makes me sick!
Why do I have to team up with him?
Edo will seriously be destroyed!
That's the spirit, Elizaretch.
That's what makes a Joi Rebel.
I'm neither Elizaretch nor a Joi Rebel!
What are you, a Zura copycat?!
Cop or Joi Rebel...
It doesn't matter if our roles are reversed. Taking your head is still my goal.
Isn't that right, Katsura?
Now that's more like Katsura.
I'm not Katsura. I'm Sou-kun!
You're not Sou-kun. You're Katsura!
Hey! Quit complicating things!
What are you idiots even fighting about?!
Don't you know that this isn't the time for it?
Everyone...
Sis!
Please stop driving Dozaemon-san into a corner.
Why are you doing this? We just want to live in peace.
Also, you're all acting strange.
What happened to you?
Sis, this is—
Keep your mouth shut, Glasses. You'll only make things worse.
Otae, Dozaemon-san is actually someone's pet cat.
He may not remember it, but we need to return him to his owner.
Could you persuade him for us?
I won't hand Dozaemon-san over to you.
I would've believed you any other time, but you're all acting weird tonight.
Wh-What's so weird?
Yeah!
Stop making baseless accusations, Otae-san.
I don't know about the others, but Gin-san—
My Toshi's the same as ever!
Right, Toshi?
Shut it, biatch!
See? This is weird.
Wh-What do you mean?
You know Kondo-san and I are tight.
We're basically joined at the hip.
More like joined at the nip.
You might not have been aware, but this is how we are most of the time.
Honestly, the Shinsengumi is full of homos.
That's exactly why he fell for you—
Who are you calling a homo?!
C-Calm down, Otae.
Them being weird is nothing new, right?
They're weird with a capital W now!
Cut it out, Sis!
What's so wrong with siblings taking baths or sleeping together?!
Right, Toshi—
Gin-san?
Th-That's right.
Shinpachi lusting over you is nothing new.
All that brother and sister stuff doesn't matter.
He's in heat all year round.
Besides, what's the problem with two men taking a bath together—
Who are you calling a man?!
You filthy knaves.
Get away from milady.
She is my owner.
I'm not going anywhere!
Just how much has that dumbass taken to her?
We don't have a choice anymore.
We're gonna have to drag your ego out of him by force.
Can we?
Yes, we can.
Although our bodies and minds are all over the place,
we have a common goal this time.
We are one organization,
whose two leaders taught us all about freedom and discipline.
That so?
Then he can pay your wages.
Let's do this, you louts!
Take back our real bodies!
Stop!
Shinpachi!
Go!
Sis, open your eyes wide and take a good look!
Our bodies and minds are all over the place now,
but that's exactly why we weren't fixated on appearances alone
and managed to find our true leaders,
our true colors!
Wh-What's this?
I won't be led astray anymore!
Even if I were to turn into an incestuous pervert!
You were always a pervert!
Even if I were
to turn into a disgraceful stalker!
You two were always disgraceful stalkers!
We are
us!
We won't let you flirt with Otae-san any further!
We won't let you flirt with Gin-san any further!
Precisely!
No matter what happens, we won't be dyed in anybody else's colors now.
It's our turn to dye you in our colors and bring you back.
So...
Come back to us, Gin-chan!
Let's be Joi Rebels again and overthrow the bakufu!
Come back.
Are you kidding me?!
Don't go getting my hands dirty!
Exactly.
The ones who'll destroy the Shinsengumi (mainly the Vice Chief)
and overthrow the bakufu will be us!
I'll hold the fort here.
Go, Elizaretch!
This guy's gotten totally dyed in terrorist colors!
I'm not a terrorist. I'm Sou-kun.
Whatever!
To hell with it!
Give Gin-chan's gonads back!
Ego, not gonads, Elizaretch!
Oh, no!
He still had this much strength left?!
Gin-san! Hijikata-san!
Th-That's...
Who is that?!
Actually, what is that?!
What are you guys doing?
No, what are you guys doing?!
How did a fusion of shit and shades give birth
to an unprecedented supernatural creature?!
Don't break formation!
Use your own brains to figure out what you can do within the organization!
And it's super strong!
Remember what our leaders taught us!
Our other leaders taught us a way of life that was completely the opposite of our style!
And now, we understand how important both freedom and discipline are!
Discipline your weak selves for the organization's sake and take a stand!
But instead of adhering to someone else's rules,
adhere to your own convictions
and take back what's important to us!
Come back,
leaders!
You guys...
Milady!
Dozaemon-san,
it looks like this is not where you belong.
Dozaemon-san...
No, Leader.
Go home, to where your friends are waiting.
Goodbye,
our other leader.
And
welcome back,
our leader!
There! Something came out of his mouth!
That's it! That's my ego's other half!
Huh?
That's where it comes out from?!
He spewed out something outrageous!
I know the ego went in through his asshole,
but it comes out of there, too?!
Hey! Is my ego mixed in here?
Where? Where is it?
I can't tell due to all these mosaics!
Hasegawa-san, you were poop to begin with.
Dive in there and find it for me!
The poop threw up upon seeing poop!
Now there's mosaics on top of mosaics!
How have things been on your end since then?
Nothing's changed, really.
So you've gone back to living life bound by those stifling ironclad rules?
But when I was around, they were doing just fine even without those.
Shackle them all you want, but morons will always be morons.
Letting them cut loose every now and then won't change that.
It's none of your business now, is it?
What, are you worried about them?
As if.
I'm just giving you some advice as a superior leader.
How are things at your place, anyway?
You'd better be paying those guys.
Given the right rules and incentives,
even morons can serve a purpose.
So just pay their wages, at least.
What's with you? You looking out for them?
Did you grow attached to them?
Are you stupid?
I just want you to return the money I had to pay those guys.
Well, whatever.
It's your organization. Run it however you want.
But keep this piece of advice in mind.
Thank them properly.
Without them, their idiotic vice chief couldn't have gone back to normal.
Leader or not, a man's gotta say what he's gotta say.
That's part of the vice chief's duties, too.
Right back at you, President.
Bow that worthless head of yours, open your mouth, and thank those brats.
A president ought to show that much tact, at least.
I'll thank them if you do.
I'm a capable leader. I don't need you to tell me what to do.
I'm capable of saying it myself, you V-shaped baldy.
That so?
Then I'll make sure to pass your message along,
Vice Chief.
Why'd you have to leave me such an annoying task?
Stupid President.
Gin-san!
What took you so long?
Over here, Toshi!
So...
Have you figured out a way for us to go back to normal...
...Leader?
Well, about that...
Don't you think it's about time we changed leaders?
Screw you!
Take responsibility and make this right, Leader!
You guys were the only ones to go back to normal!
Who the hell put poop in the transfer device?!
More like everyone was covered in poop!
Preview
At long last, an episode with me in the lead role!
I bet there'll be a special opening next week, with everything switched to me.
I can't wait!
Always Leave Enough Room for Fifty Million in Your Bag
Next Episode: "Always Leave Enough Room for Fifty Million in Your Bag."
The opening won't change. It'll be the same as usual.
You're a trader, so you should know all about budgetary constraints.
If only fifty million fell from the sky...
We're waiting with our bags wide open.
