Gintoki and the gang have followed the missing Elizabeth into the Renho mothership.
The evil lord Dark Vader prepares to invade Earth. Can he be stopped?!
What are you doing, you three stooges?!
Look out!
It can't be!
He was promoted for his work on Earth...
You punks got spirit.
Interested in becoming my men?
E-
Elizabeth!
It appears that you Earthlings are the ones who will lose their seeds.
You're the one who faces destruction.
I commend you for having the courage to come alone into enemy territory. I will grant you an up-close view of the destruction of Earth.
You have no right to be a leader when you call your comrades tools.
Don't underestimate the planet of the samurai.
I don't need soldiers or citizens.
As long as I have those, I can conquer the galaxy.
The samurai will soon learn
why the Renho Army soldiers
are feared as the white devils.
Renho Army?
Don't you mean the Renho Federation?!
Piggy Banks and Trash Cans
Quiet down.
We managed to sneak all the way in here.
Don't waste that for the sake of a joke.
Uh, wait, Fumiko-san!
This is why you're known as the white devils?!
These are the new white outfits that were developed for the invasion of Earth.
The anti-samurai weapon, Gunsam!
They've made incredible progress while I was gone.
Uh, in the end, this is just a blatant rip-off!
Those look very familiar!
Dark Vader intends to have the Gunsams
attack Earth once the rain has left the planet in chaos.
Earth won't last long against such an onslaught!
Uh, we won't last long against a copyright infringement lawsuit.
Both were animated by Sunrise, so a lawsuit would go nowhere.
They planned ahead.
That's plain evil!
In any case, we have plenty of incentive to destroy those.
How do we do that?
We'll have to think of something.
Before he...
Before General Eren leads his strike force of Gunsams to attack Earth.
I never imagined that he would become a general in such a short time.
And I never imagined that we would become Elizabeth's subordinates.
Maybe Eli recognized us?
He may do his job well, but he's always been rather dense.
He couldn't even recognize his own girlfriend
when I changed to a different color ribbon.
Uh, how is anyone supposed to pick you out?!
This is harder than trying to find Waldo!
I see.
So he won't recognize Shinpachi since he's a different color.
He'll recognize me!
He should recognize me when I'm sticking out of your head!
Anyway, now that we're here, this is the perfect chance.
I'll try to find a way to destroy the Gunsams.
You do what you can to disable the three stooges
and other pilots who are part of the strike force.
Be careful, Cool Lady Fumi.
Okay...
Gin-san, did you hear all that?
Loyal soldiers of the Renho Army!
Thanks to our Elizabeth Rain,
over half of the Earthlings are now trapped behind signs.
The clouds surrounding Earth are a symbol of our justice.
The Earth's military is but a shell of its former self.
Verily, I declare them to be trash!
Earthlings treasure their three M's above all.
Their money, their mothers, and their manhood.
We start by hitting them in their manhood
and immobilizing them.
Then we take their mothers hostage
and seize their money!
We can render them helpless!
On the battlefield, you have to rely on the voices of your allies.
Remember to ditch your signs and provide your comrades with vocal support.
And you're only allowed to bring 300 yen worth of snacks.
Don't forget your Gelgoog bag for when you get mobile suit sickness...
Why are you people teaching them how to defeat Earthlings?!
Why are you even here?!
You're clearly helping the wrong side!
You hit me!
Bright-san never hit me!
Most people haven't been hit by Bright!
Sorry.
I fell into my old habits after getting all fired up about about the upcoming battle.
What the hell were the wars like back when you were fighting?!
That last part was more or less instructions for a picnic!
Teacher! Can we take our PSPs onto the battlefield?
Okay, this is a battlefield, right?
So you should be playing battlefield games, if you get my drift.
What?!
Why is this turning into a lecture?!
Who's the teacher?!
Fine, fine.
That concludes today's court-martial.
Everyone go outside for some Uno!
Why would you play Uno outside?!
Do you really want to play Uno?!
Don't worry, Alzabeth.
I'll move three times faster than usual.
That's not gonna help, you stupid Red Comet!
It's the job of a general to play some Uno
and help put the men in that zone between composure and passion.
You people are between dumb and dumber!
What is this?!
Why are you playing Uno with the invaders?!
I can see! I can see the enemy's hand!
Why are you bonding with them?!
They're winning over the enemy.
Tsk, how can this be...
They may have fallen, but they were stars during the Joi era.
What a strange bunch.
Eli-
General Eren!
You were able to sap away the tension before a battle.
You have the odd ability to draw people in while doing stupid things.
Or maybe they were drawn in by your Earth smell.
You were also working as spies on Earth, right?
The same goes for everyone in my squad.
We were all ordered to infiltrate Earth and make contact with Earthlings.
Uno!
And now we're trying to destroy the people of Earth.
So everyone here loves Earth.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know the rules.
Uno
Katsura-san...
I also played a lot of Uno.
No!
He would challenge me to a game whenever we had time.
C-Can you let me redo that...
But he sucked... I had to let him win a few times.
I guess I was already lying to him back then.
Do you regret it?
Then why...?
Everyone here found something important to them on Earth.
Everyone here has grown to care for Earth.
I-I am the same way.
So why are we invading Earth?
...I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
The Renho purge all who express dissent.
And keep your mouth shut. You won't get another warning.
If the general were to show a sign, everyone would revolt together.
Nobody would have to worry about a purge then.
Is that what you're saying?
I learned many things on Earth.
Things that I wouldn't have learned on this planet of cold steel.
Defeat
Many things that were warm to the touch.
I learned many things from the person
whom with I fought back-to-back.
That's why I have no regrets.
There is something I must protect.
Even if it means destroying Earth.
Even if it means fighting against him.
A true friend will always protect a friend's back.
That is what I learned from my friend on Earth.
Elizabeth...
Attack Order In one hour, the entire armada will advance on Earth. All squadrons should immediately prepare for battle.
W-We've been given the order to attack.
Already?!
What happened to Mutsu-san's negotiations?!
Mutsu, I see that you screwed up.
I bought you plenty of time.
You were able to come up with a plan, right?
You bet! The guy before me used a Draw 2,
so I tossed out a Draw 4,
but then he said that going by Earth rules, I could only use a Draw 2,
so I tore my Draw 4 in half.
The hell are you doing?!
I'm out here risking my life to buy you time!
What are we going to do?!
The Kaientai have been locked up!
We can't do anything!
You don't need to worry.
We're ready to go.
Katsura-san.
Relax...
Elizabeth is still Elizabeth.
The Elizabeth I believe in.
We've been separated due to our positions as Earthling and Renho,
How do you write out Renho?
but we still believe in the same things.
Don't look.
In that case, I can't let him down.
Not when my friend says that he believes in me.
I'll stop the Renho.
Even if it means cutting down Elizabeth.
Zura...
What are you doing, Teacher? The general is already on his way to the front lines.
Yes, I'm coming.
I'm going to stop Elizabeth's strike force.
Wait, Zura!
You're going to fight Eli?!
Yeah, knock yourself out, Zura.
While you're running cover,
we'll take out the big boss.
Gin-chan! Moldie!
Doesn't matter how big the serpent is. Cut off its head and it'll stop.
Then we might not have to cut off its tail, Kintoki.
Well, that's only if we don't get choked to death first.
What are you babbling about?
Your brain was already choked to death.
Don't look back.
I won't.
You got my back.
I guess we don't need to worry about the three stooges.
In that case, we should help delay the soldiers.
And how is Katsura-san going to stop the strike force?
Is he going to use that thing?
Can he even pilot it?
Alzabeth!
Fumiko-san!
What's going on?
Why did the attack start so soon?
Well...
I don't believe it!
Just a little longer and I could have disabled all of the Gunsams!
Huh? You were able to do something in such a short time?
You helped divert the attention of the guards,
so while I wasn't able to do anything to the mothership,
I managed to sabotage the Gunsams.
What did you do?!
A-Amazing...
No wonder Vader is so taken by these.
Okay! Just you wait, Elizabeth!
Gunsam, ready to launch!
Katsura, heading out!
What did I do?
I placed bombs in them.
Ka-Katsura...
...blew up!
What is it?
W-Well...
The Gunsam that launched suddenly blew up...
What?!
Could it be that...
they have other allies...?
Spies!
There are Earth spies on this ship!
The attack is off!!
Capture any suspicious rats and make it run blood!!
Don't let any of them escape!!
In any case, we were able to delay them.
Uh, we lost one of our friends.
But it's strange...
The bomb I placed wasn't that strong, was it?
It was only supposed to blow off a leg...
Hm?
Hey, look over there!
Wh-What is that?!
Hey, Tatsuma, don't tell me that you've lost your edge
after becoming a merchant.
Can't really say.
I was always more of a peace lover compared to you boys.
My mind's sharp as a razor, but I can't be so confident about my ability with a blade.
I see.
So your mind and sword are both rusty.
Hey, fools.
What's going on?
That's Dark Vader's office.
What business do you have there?
We have a message for him.
What?! Did you find the spies?
No.
The samurai...
...have invaded your planet.
You're the ones from earlier!!
I knew there was something suspicious about you.
To think that you were samurai...!!
Why are you out here in space?!
You people didn't do enough research.
The samurai weren't wiped off Earth.
Have you forgotten the names of the Amanto's most dreaded enemies?
With our swords, we kept...
...our country...
...our friends...
...our souls safe from the aliens.
The Joi patriot, Sakamoto Tatsuma.
Sakata Gintoki.
We'll take you on!
This is a one night ceremony!
Tatsuma, show them that you haven't lost your edge!
Yeah, got it!
Time to go wild!
Sakamoto Tatsuma
Excuse me, I'm Sakamoto Tatsuma, chief logistics officer for the Joi.
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I believe that you're one of the Double Dragons who lead this jolly group.
Are you on the right or left?
I'm the right Dragon.
Oh, that must be rough.
You have to deal with the random gusts in right field at Koshien Stadium.
Well, I'm sure you have a story or two to tell.
What are you doing?!
Don't mind me. Carry on with your fun.
I have my own way of going wild.
Prepare yourself!
Your own way of going wild?
I'm the only one fighting here!
What are you trying to pull?
Well, just between you and me,
I was only pretending to want to protect Earth.
Truth is that I came all the way here to do business.
Business?
Yes, I consider space to be home.
So I feel no attachment to Earth.
You're going to sell Earth? That's what your subordinate said when you first snuck on board.
Please, she's a fledgling who knows nothing about business.
She always snaps when a deal doesn't go her way.
However, now I know what you people want.
What?
You want a weapon that will be more useful
than those white devils for the invasion of Earth.
Isn't that right?
I have the perfect thing!
Yes!
To counter your white devils, I offer a white demon.
The White Yaksha.
I've colored him completely white to satisfy your needs.
What the hell are you talking about?!
And I'll even include the weapon of self destruction, Zura,
and the adult toy, Sakamoldie.
It's an amazing deal!
Is this some kind of joke?
I would never joke about selling my friends.
Why not have the White Yaksha and White Devil fight it out?
That man doesn't give a damn about Earth.
Now to finish him!
He's a demon who's capable of
crushing an Earth or two for the sake of his friends.
If you don't buy him, he'll crush your planet.
But if we join forces, we can take over Earth or any planet of your choice.
Nonsense! After invading our planet, you now offer to help us take Earth?
Sure thing.
If we keep fighting, we'll just weaken our forces for nothing.
If you provide another place for the Earthlings to live,
we'll give you Earth in a split second.
Planets are just a place for people to stand on.
A planet is just a rock.
Takes people to make it a world.
You can have all the piggy banks you want.
I'm only interested in what's inside.
Well, there definitely isn't gold inside.
Just a bunch of old scarred steel.
But I consider that steel the greatest treasure there could ever be.
Joi patriots?
They weren't in the data provided by the advance scouts.
Reinforce our troops.
Grind the Earthlings into space dust.
M-My lord!!
B-Behind you!!
Th-That's...
What...?
...is that?
E-Earth is...
Smiling.
Huh? Your face is...
And you're talking.
Y-You're right! My voice!
My face is back to normal!
This is a rain from the heavens!
The gods haven't abandoned us yet!
Are you watching this?
The people who lost their voices are recovering!
It's wonderful! So wonderful!
Th-This is!!
M-My Lord!!
Wonderful for me!
Wonderful for you!
Wonderful for everyone!
Th-The clouds...
The clouds that were covering Earth have dissipated...
To my home planet.
To my friend.
From Space,
with love.
It appears that those rats weren't the only ones with a trick up their sleeves.
That's...
You fooled me.
I fooled no one.
The words written on that planet aren't
the words of a spy, a general, or a Renho.
They're Elizabeth's first and last words of truth!
Elizabeth!
To Be Continued
Next Episode
Dark Vader finally reveals his true power and attacks the Gunsam.
The battles that ensue inspires terror
that Katsura and Eren have never experienced before!
Next time: Empty planet.
Empty Planet
Will you survive?
Speaking of which, will this anime be able to survive?
When we first started Gintama, we figured there would never be any mecha.
