What's the point of goin' after me? Still want a feather for your cap after all this?!
I want you... because you killed Yu.
Yu...?
I'm gonna have my revenge here!
Are you stupid? I'm part of the exact same being that that woman was.
Any multiplicities in our psyche are expressed directly in the form of multiple bodies.
That's why our bodies split off from each other, but it doesn't change our identity.
And in this case, a part of my body's from the man who used to be your own subordina--
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
I'll do what I... I'm gonna...
...do what I came here to do.
That's all there is to it!
It's not fair. I've been waitin' for this day to come, and now that it's finally here...
I've managed to work my way in good with all the indigenous people...
...and gotten them to build me an escape vessel capable of reaching escape velocity...
...and now...!
I wanna go home. All I wanna do is go home...!
I just wanna go home. Back to my planet.
Back to the sky!
You're finished too, buddy.
The potion... from the old man...!
The rocket's redesign is as I've just explained.
I'm sorry to drop this on you guys on the day of the launch, but I really need your help!
You can count on us! C'mon, let's go!
Okay, mechanical team this way!
Let's do the calculations once more just to make sure.
So, um... " Genzo," was it?
Right. If we're gonna do this, then let's do it for maximum effect.
As for us, we'll be in charge of the " asbestos" cloth!
That's a Gennai Hiraga specialty.
Although in legends it's a garment made from the hide of the fire rat, of course.
I guess that makes you the real Princess Kaguya, then.
Groan...
Sniff sniff. Mm, what a nice smell!
Now I'm sure everything's gonna work out perfectly...!
All right! But let's not just sit around!
We've gotta hurry and get Sora's spacesuit ready.
Okay!
"San"
Sorry to keep you waitin', Seikichi. I'm almost done.
It's fine.
Just keep at it till you're happy with it.
I wonder if it's gonna be all right, rebuildin' it in such a hurry like this.
Here's hoping.
For you.
"Traffic Safety Good Luck Charm" For you.
"Traffic Safety Good Luck Charm" For someone who comes from the sky it might seem superstitious, but...
No no, I'm glad to have it! Thank you so much for everything.
And if you happen to see him, please tell Ginjiro the same for me.
She says thanks for everything. Just passing the message.
Uh... I'm jes' a worka here on Ishikawa Islan'.
Who do you think you're foolin'
All right, so I'm guessing
those guys decided to cancel the launch after all?
Why would they?
I just heard something about modifying it so they could work the controls from the inside.
And this time, instead of having electric ignition from the outside,
Seikichi's gonna be doing it himself from the inside.
From the inside...?!
But won't that mean Seikichi taking off right along with it...?
He's gonna wear a fireproof cloth and dive out after ignition.
Aha, I see.
If you used the same electric ignition as last time, you'd still have doubts about reliability.
You really wanna light the fuse yourself on the final go.
I guess you remembered your fireworks maker roots, eh?
And apparently they decided on some really huge fireworks tubes for the launch.
Whatever... but what the hell are you still doin' here?
Wait a sec. Seikichi's ...?
Oh, I get it!
So that's it! That's what this was about!
This way, Torii and Toyama won't be able to lay a finger on him!
What is it now? You keep acting all weird on me.
But hey, I wanted to ask-- You guys seen that thing? You know, that...
it's like, pink and all woobly-woobly like and... you know...
What does " pink" mean...?
I wanna go home... I wanna go home... I wanna go home... I wanna go home...
Akai...
Yu.
Hey guys... what the heck happened?
We're not sure, but it looks like the work of the blue beast.
He looks happy, doesn't he?
He sure was a mysterious guy, right up to the end.
But... I guess I didn't dislike him.
O-Ise!
Ah... I felt bad about your launch.
My firework isn't important right now.
Except... it's the reason why Seikichi and the others are--
Hm?
There's no need to keep it hidden. Everyone already knows there's somethin' up.
We know what's up...?
Look at the faces of everyone you see standing here.
Not a one of 'em is the least bit excited.
It's 'cuz they've all heard rumors of the cannon at Shimoda.
They think the rocket's some terrifyin' device of the authorities'.
They think if they go against the authorities, then that's what's comin' for 'em.
They think today's the unveiling of it.
But they're wrong! Tamaya fireworks aren't about that!
They're not about that...
Diving out as soon as it ignites. That's the plan.
Not a thing to worry about. Acrobatics are a cinch for us.
So's sleight of hand.
Wait wait wait wait!
Hold the launch right there!
What's the big idea?! I was told you changed the rocket design today!
That's not--!
Hurry and get on with it, Seikichi!
Huh...?!
It's Gin!
Oh crap! Get goin'
Whoa... but Tenho!
"Tamaya" Whoa... but Tenho!
Here goes!
What're you so flustered about all of a sudden? This is what you ordered, ain't it?
Investigator Toyama!
You must think I was born yesterday.
They changed the plans so they can pilot it from the inside.
And plus, Seikichi's doing the ignition himself, so now's he's in there with her, of all things.
So what's your point?
The fact is that Seikichi won't jump out after ignition.
Those two are planning to flee Edo.
Or rather, they're planning to flee Japan, aren't they?!
That'd be my guess.
But what difference does it make?
Even without Seikichi, I'm sure you're still planning to have the cannon built.
Of course! But if Seikichi's not here the project'll be delayed!
Now don't try to interfere!
Wait wait wait wait!
Right now we have bigger fish to fry!
Take a look over there!
I wanna go home... I wanna go home... I wanna go home... I wanna go home...
What's that?!
Blue... beasts...?!
Those beasts are coming after the rocket...!
What the hell's going on?! After everything, there's still that many left alive...?!
Ginjiro!
I ain't gonna let a single goddamn one of 'em near the rocket!
Captain Bellybutton!
Don't get the wrong idea.
I am only doing this because I want that pesky sky girl off to the moon and out of here.
Hey! What're you standin' around for?!
Get it in gear! We're gonna cut down every last one of those damn sky beasts!
Sir!
Yo! Go, Kin!
Yeah... he can't very well let himself get shown up by the likes of Torii here.
Not if he wants people to call him a "legendary city commissioner" in the future.
Gulp!
--Bellybutton! --Captain Bellybutton!
I wanna go home!
Seikichi!
Launch now, Seikichi!
Sora...
Get going now.
To the moon or wherever... just get going!
Big brother!
Launch now, Seikichi!
Go nowwwwww!
Ignition.
"Somehow or Other, Liftoff"
He did it...!
I'll be goddamned, Seikichi, you did it!
Whoa...!
It's a perfect line straight up!
The first stage is gonna be separating off soon!
All right! Keep flyin' up just like that!
Shoot up to the goddamn heavens!
It just exploded!
Impossible...!
Seikichi! Sora!
Sora...!
It can't be...
Tamaya!
Of course! That thing was fireworks!
--Fireworks...?! --Fireworks!
So it was a firework after all!
Awesome!
I never seen fireworks like this before!
Tamaya...!
Mm-hmm.
Ta... maya...
Guess that does it.
In the end, a whole lotta trouble for nothing.
Ginjiro...
...that thing is as far as you and the others go.
Or... as far as we go, maybe.
Whatever.
Man in Black Ginjiro...
...you are hereby dismissed from your post.
You are no longer captain of the Men in Black covert operations squad, effective immediately.
From this moment on,
your connection to both the shogunate and the city commissioner's office
is utterly and irrevocably severed, so consider yourself warned.
Stupid asshole.
Who even cares? None of that shit matters now.
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow...
"Roku"
Whisper whisper whisper whisper... Mutter mutter mutter...
Tenho!
Tenten!
Ta-dah!
Huh...?
Did ya see it, Gin? Wasn't that a huge firework?
Eh...?
Don't look so worried. We're both still alive!
Huh...?!
They were never in the rocket to begin with.
All thanks to our sleight of hand.
Yay!
Huhhhhhhhhhhhh?!
We had to make the launch a failure. Our rocket had to go down.
By doin' that, we stopped Kin and Torii in their tracks
and made sure they wouldn't never think about makin' artillery fireworks again.
Especially if the two of us died in the process.
But are you really okay with that?
Wasn't the rocket your dream? Along with everyone else at the row house?
"Fireworks ain't just some game"...
"They're about helpin' everyone, with somethin' gran--"
Fireworks are just for fun.
They don't serve no useful purpose at all.
I'm fine with that now... it's what I've realized.
I'm a fireworks maker, and I ain't never makin' nothin' but fireworks again.
You saw it, didn'tcha?
Seikichi Tamaya here put his heart and soul into makin' some huge fireworks bloom in Edo!
And I ain't gonna let you say you missed seein' 'em!
Yeah, I saw 'em.
I sure saw 'em, all right.
But...
...now it looks like you're all outta tricks as far as goin' back to the moon's concerned.
Yeah.
But that's not such a problem, is it?
That's right! Now she can stay with you forever!
How long are they gonna keep holding hands? I swear, those two...!
Good grief.
Yeah, this planet really isn't half bad, you know.
What the hell does that mean?
What's that...?
Wha...? What the hell's this?
I'm sorry, Seikichi.
Huh?
Looks like my ride's here.
Eh?!
This light...?
I'm guessing that huge explosion from the Shoryu a little bit ago acted like a signal.
They must've figured that given the planet's current technology,
an explosion like that at such a high altitude shouldn't have been possible.
So apparently they interpreted it as some kind of signal from me.
S-S-So then...?
I'm done as far as my mission on this planet is concerned.
So I have to go now.
Oh... oh, okay.
I guess you're right.
So you're going... back to the moon?
Yeah.
We're gonna be sad to see you go.
Seikichi?
Yeah?
No, I guess that's not an option.
C-C'mon, just go.
All your friends are waitin', right?
Right.
What's that? You didn't see me goin' for the body blow just now?
Wh-What the hell're you doin' !
You friggin' idiot!
What do you think I just put my life on the line to protect?!
It sure as hell wasn't to watch you pussyfoot around!
Gin...
He's right, big brother! You should go!
We aren't really able to go ourselves, but you definitely can.
If it means being together with Sora, I think you'll really like it!
Or is that it, Seikichi?
Well? You tryin' to get Sora to commit the same crime as that other woman?
The one where her consciousness splits in two! You remember.
Oh yeah...
Listen, Sora.
Yeah?
Is it okay if I go with you?
You don't mind... leaving this place behind?
Course not! I ain't stoppin' at best in Japan, or even best in the world!
I wanna be the best fireworks maker in the universe!
I want others to see them, too!
I want the whole galaxy to see your fireworks!
Who cares about them? You're the one I wanna show 'em to.
I wanna show you the best fireworks in the universe...
...fireworks that don't serve no useful purpose at all.
"That night"
"Residence of Tadakuni Mizuno" "Tenpo Year 14 Leap Month 9 Day 13"
Hey, calm down! Calm yourselves down!
Do you have any idea who lives here?!
--We already know it's Council Elder Mizuno's place! --C'mon, c'mon! Show me whatcha got!
--He ain't Council Elder no more! --Show me whatcha got!
--They said the shogun removed him from office today! --Hey you! Show me whatcha got! Hey you!
--Serves him right! Good riddance! --Don't mess with us! Now show me whatcha got!
Now shove it up your ass! Tamaya!
Kagiya!
Hey!
Stop that!
Barrier in Black!
Hey! Step aside!
Step aside now!
Commissioner Torii, please stand down.
What has gotten into them?! Why did the people of Edo pick today to go rioting...?!
I think you know the reason, don't you, Commissioner?
Tamaya!
Here.
Thanks a bunch. I ended up losin' the stupid key somewhere.
That's me-- just your basic key and that's all.
What do you mean by that?
My job seems to be opening doors for people.
Opening them so someone else can go through to the other side, right?
That's just idiotic!
Hey.
Key or no damn key, you're free to go wherever the hell you want.
But I don't ...
You've locked away your own desires, and now you're just pretendin' like you don't notice.
Tell me... can't you open the shackles to your own desires?
You do this for Sora. You do that for Seikichi.
But what the hell do you wanna do...?
Well, I'd like to try goin' somewhere myself...!
Get the hell outta Japan... go to the moon, even.
Seikichi's rocket has taught me a lesson-- that we can do literally anything.
Just look at the angry mob that went and stormed Lord Mizuno's house.
They got the courage to do it after seein' that rocket.
If they could do it...
...then how come you hafta lie there and shrivel away?!
So what am I supposed to do?!
Beats me.
Wow... so this is what your guys's base looks like?
Yeah. I'll introduce you to everyone.
Shall we go?
Sure.
Oh hi, Seikichi! Hi, Sora!
You're late!
Whoa, everyone! How the hell'd you get here?!
Well...
...once I told the old man that I'd really like to try goin' to the moon myself sometime...
You shoulda said somethin' to me sooner!
If that's all you want, just take the spaceship I used when I came to Earth myself.
Huh...?
Once we got in, it was just a hop, skip and a jump.
Looks like we even passed you two on the way up here, huh?
What the hell?! If we had a spaceship the whole time--!
But then the show couldn't have gone the whole two seasons.
Ginjiro, I had no idea you wanted to come to the moon that bad.
It wasn't the moon. I just wanted to see you again.
Gin...!
Just kiddin', man.
Course these guys all came along for the ride, too.
Isn't that great, Seikichi?
Come take me far away
