"Good evening." "I'm Gintoki Sakata." "I'm Shinpachi Shimura." "I'm Kagura." "I realize we just announced that the Gin Tama anime has been extended for a fourth year on this program last month... and just a few days ago... the company has decided that it is no longer feasible to produce this show." "today will be the abrupt final episode of the Gin Tama anime." "[Gin Tama" " Finale] and we will be showing an emergency special program entitled "Looking Back at the Gin Tama Anime." "We deeply apologize for changing the program from the original listing in the TV guide." "Now that we suddenly find ourselves on the final episode..." "Kagura-san?" "When you look back at three years of the Gin Tama anime?" "I feel pretty empty right now." "Everything seems so stupid." "we were all excited about a having fourth year and how to buy time. look at us now." "Like a bunch of idiots." "I never expected it to end this way..." "Kagura-san..." "You're right." "We got carried away because of decent DVD sales. there was a flood of phone calls and letters." "It was a circus at TV Tokyo and Sunrise. but their eyes weren't smiling." "it's too late to do anything." "I never expected Sunrise to end up like this." "Nobody could have predicted this. but this is how it goes when it's finally over." "That's right." "Famous series like "Space Ba*******" and "Mobile S***" were also cut short." "[Note:" "Space Battleship Yamato and Mobile Suit Gundam]" "Yes." "And now we join those great works." "Let's be positive." "So here's the final episode." "We can't change what's already been settled." "There's no point in whining about it." "We will now show the original final episode that would have been shown at the end of the fourth year." "Please enjoy yourself." "And now we present the final episode of the Gin Tama anime." "["All's Well That Ends Well."]" "Gintoki..." "Our long relationship ends here." "you bastard..." "Allow me to end the long nightmare you've been having." "Gintoki?" "I simply destroy." "...Everything!" "Gin-san!" "all kinds of things happened and everything was finally settled." "things were settled." "And today is the day Shinpachi is leaving on his journey." "Shinpachi!" "Kagura-chan." "she's finally here." "Kagura-chan." "Sorry about that." "I had to go buy this." "What is this?" "Pickled seaweed." "They won't sell this where you're going." "Pickled seaweed..." "Kagura-chan!" "Huh?" "Where's Gin-chan?" "He's nowhere to be found." "Who knows what he's doing?" "It's almost departure time." "That stupid Odd Jobs man picked a great day to go missing..." "It's fine." "Gin-san already told me everything he has to say." "not using words..." "But with his broad shoulders." "Gin-san..." "I understood every single word you were trying to say." "Which is why I'll be able to move forward on my own." "I'm going now." "With the spirit of a samurai in my heart..." "Gin-chan never showed up." "that's not true." "he never changes... that guy..." "Gin-san!" "G-Gin-san..." "Shinpachi!" "These are the last words I have for you!" "Shinpachi..." "You're... a XXX." "Okay?" "Gin-san..." "I have no idea what you said." "0)}[Fin] wait!" "What is this?" "!" "What is this mess?" "!" "Who's going to accept a final episode like this?" "!" "Feels like they just glossed over the important stuff and dragged out the pointless stuff." "It can't be helped!" "so the anime can't make stuff up." "Grown-ups have their own circumstances to deal with." "this is what you're going to get from the final episode of a show based on something that's still running!" "Don't be so blunt about it!" "Hey! so do a proper job of it!" "Seriously." "Shinpachi had so much screen time it was pissing me off." "there wasn't anything wrong with that." "I get it." "right?" "Then we'll start over from the top." "big guy."

"It can't be..." "Why...?" "Why did this happen...?" "This wasn't the end I wanted." "I just wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and restart his dojo." "I just wanted to become a strong samurai." "Shin-chan." "one must seek death." "You're regretting it now because you weren't ready to die." "You should just give up on that half-assed dream." "so pass." "Shinpachi-kun." "you're a strong samurai in my eyes." "A DORK like me has managed to survive this long." "Things will work out." "Don't worry."
