Gintama 254

Wow, I'm very impressed with where things are going. Tsukuyo's got a pretty good audience on 2ch too...so maybe that's why she's back so soon? And Although I don't ship in any series I translate or follow she and Gin make a good combination.


And now another PSA! People have been asking me for Traumiester raws, and while I do have the tanks I don't have a scanner to scan them in. However my bestest friend in the world MBG has access to SS and a scanner! Unfortunately she is running low on cash and will lose her subscription to SS in a little while. So if you guys ask nicely (and throw in a little tiny donation) Perhaps you'll turn on your computers, log into MH and notice that Traumiester scans have started appearing.

Don't take my word for it though. Just head over to www.conan-magic.com and do what's in your heart. I'll be posting this on Translations through mid-April, so no one can say they didn't know.

???: I would have never thought it....

That the moon would rise over Yoshiwara....

Woman: Oh my~ What are you saying sir?

It's because of someone like you coming that Yoshiwara has become free....

(Side text- Even now this city is dreaming...)

???: Nah, that's an old and tired story....

GINTAMA

???: The ceiling's been opened....

And now a moon shines down....

It's small....

But very brave and elegant...this moon.

Woman: Thank you for coming sir.

002

(Sfx- Don bump)

???: Sorry about that.

Tsukuyo: Naw, It's my fault.

???: You've become quite stunning....

Tsukuyo.

(Sfx- Fuuuu)

GINTAMA
Lesson 254: Spiders at night are a bad omen.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

(Sfx- Pota pota drip drip)

{You were abandoned as a young girl...}

{Tsukuyo.}

{No one protected you, and you had no one that you desired to protect.}

{You were no more than an abandoned girl...}

{They say that the Sun will shine above anyone....}

{However, you are like the moon, shining unknown to anyone; but you are radiant all the same.}

{Only I understand you....}

{Only I gaze upon you...}

005

{As Such....Only I will...}

{Protect you.}

Tsukuyo: Ah!

(Sfx- Chun chun chun Tweet tweet tweet)

006

(Sfx- Don don don Bam bam bam)

Seita: Whatcha doin' Sis-Tsukuyo?!

Get a move on! Gin-san and tha' others are 'ere!

I'm gonna meet them first!!

Tsukuyo: Ungh...Don't matta to me...do as ya'll please.

(Sfx- Goshi pat)

Seita: Get dressed up and c'mon!!

(Sfx- Noso noso shif shif)

(Sfx- Mossari Droop)

(Sfx- Goshuu pat)
Tsukuyo: Fancy up...?

007

Tsukuyo: Yo.

Been a minute ain't it.

Gintoki: Geez. You still have the same depressing face you did when I was here the first time...

Tsukuyo: Ya'll ain't much betta...lookin' like a burnt warzone.

Gintoki: Waaaait a minute. When you say 'warzone' are you talking about my hair?!

Shinpachi: Hey you two, It's been a while since we saw each other, so let's keep fighting to a minimum.

Seita: Aiight! Now that ya' came, how 'bout we have some fun...

Hinowa: I'm sorry Seita, but you must go wait outside for a moment.

Seita: Whaaaaaat?

Why I gotta wait outside fer?! I've grown up a bit yanno!

Kagura: It is good that you are still energetic.

Seita: This sucks~!

Gintoki: Come on now. I didn't come here to work today.

Hinowa: Pretty please?

A favor for us, Messiah of Yoshiwara?

008

Tsukuyo: I ain't complainin' since Housen died we've been havin' it pretty good bein' free an' all.

But one thing we didn' consider is that Housen's strength kept da crime rate in check.

Now that he's gone, a bunch of loser samurai have been showin up, causin' all kinds of harship.

Even tha' patriots are showin up, makin this their new home. Tha hundred blooms can't handle all them boys at once eitha.

But that ain't even the worst part. Naw, this is giving way to a bigga problem.

Now illegal drugs have started comin' down 'ere.

Dem drugs started small at first, but then they spread like wildfire 'round the city.

Ain't gonna be long 'fore we have a full scale drug war down here if we don' act quickly.

We think that da guy that started all this trouble is a customer of Yoshiwara.

His name is Hashiba Fujinosuke. But ain't no point in callin' him dat; cause he got anotha' name.

009

Tsukuyo: 'Fact is that many people have seen this guy...

But ain't nobody that know anything about him.

We don't even got 'nuff proof to take him down' since he be everywhere drinkin' our booze and courtin' our women.

Dat man could even break down Yoshiwara, and crack a smile while doin' it.

Gintoki: So, on my day off, I've got to deal with a drug lord?

Listen you guys might think of me as some type of savior, but I'm not the better business bureau. I can't do anything about illegal trade.

Tsukuyo: Well ya'll betta with dealin wit the upper world.

Don't worry 'bout 'nothin though...I know how to find 'im.

Gintoki: And how is that?

Tsukuyo: Look fer da Spider.

010

Tsukuyo: I ran into some guy last night.

On dat man's neck...

Dere was a spida tattoo.

Gintoki: A spider....

Damn. Since you're so confident I guess I can't back out...

Looks like we're gonna have to rush straight in...

Right into the Spider's web.

(Sfx- GAHAHAHAHAH)
011

Tsukuyo: Dey all got spida tattoos?!

Gintoki: The Crimson spider party....This gambling pub is one of their many meeting places.

They may look like they're just messing around and doing some gambling..

But they're actually the patriot's go to guys, when they need blackmail, terrorism or straight up murder, this is where they head to.

Well I guess it can't be helped....after all if Yoshiwara doesn't have a supervillian ominously hanging in the background it's nowhere near as fun.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be long until some other group took over.

Let me handle things here. They don't trust women.

So If I bring you along they're gonna get suspicious.

Tsukuyo: I ain't goin' nowhere. As the leada of the Hundred blooms I got my responsibility.

And beside that, I told ya'll...I don't think of myself as a woman no more.

Gintoki: Puh-leez. You're still as female as they come. I'm sure you'd freak out if a guy accidentally rubbed against your boobs in a crowded train as he tries to find a place to stand.

Tsukuyo: Go 'head then. Feel 'em. I ain't bothaed by it.

Gintoki: Huh?

Tsukuyo: Ya'll don't believe that I can handl' myself right? Feel 'em, and ya'll get it.

Gintoki: No way. Feeling your boobs now would be asking for unnecessary trouble.

Tsukuyo: Dis ain't To-Love-ru. I ain't gonna make a fuss. Feel 'em.

Gintoki: Knock it off already! There's a time and a place for feeling and not feeling! What you don't think I can't tell when a lady's being serious about touching boobs and she isn't? Well I'm not....

Huh?

(Sfx- Mozo mozo skitter skitter)

012

Gintoki: NGHAHHHHH A Spider!!!

(Sfx- Mnuu squish)
Gintoki: …...Huh?

(Sfx- Moni rub rub)

Gintoki: What's this....?

(Sfx- Momi momi rub rub)

(Sfx- Dogagoooo THOWK)

Tsukuyo: 'The hell ya DOIN?!

013

Gintoki: Weren't you just going on and on about how this is no big deal?

(Sfx- Parapara clatter clatter)

Tsukuyo: Shut it. I ain't tryin' to hear that from you.

???: 'Scuze me....

Who might....

You people be?

(Sfx- GOGOGOGOGO RMMMMBLE)

Leader: What group are you fools with?

You've got balls to sneak into a place like this....so start talking.

014

Gintoki: Just chillin'.

Leader: THATS A FRIGGIN' LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!

Gintoki: No, I'm serious! We weren't gonna do anything. Just hanging out here and that's all.

Tsukuyo: Quit yer lyin....

Gintoki: Nope, Nothing suspicious about us, just chillin.

Leader: EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR EXSISTANCE IS SUSPCIOUS!!!

Gintoki: Fine...the truth is...

We're part time thugs hoping to make it big by joining the Crimson Spider party.
Leader: Part timers huh?

Interesting. You're pretty gutsy there bro, bringing a woman here...maybe I oughtta take you to go meat Unkai-sama himself.

Gintoki: No! That won't be necessary! We don't need to meet Unkodekai-sama.

(TN- Unkai Is sea of clouds....and Unko dekai is....well taking a big dump.)

Leader: Who the hell is Unko Dekai?! Have you been constipated or something lately idiot?!

Gintoki: Ya see, we just got married into the mob.

So we were thinking that, yanno....you could let us both in...we need each other's moral support.

It's hard raising kids when you're only hustling half time, so we decided to make this our main source of income, and hit it big.

015

Tsukuyo: Y—Yeah...I was running a female mob when Gintoki here swept me off my feet. Sure we were only 17 but love was in the air, so we got a shotgun marriage.

(TN- No I haven't forgotten her accent, she's just speaking more formally here.)

It wasn't long that we were happily married that I had twins.

Just having our territory and financial goods wasn't gonna get us anywhere. So I'm gonna help him hustle to the big time.

Thugs: Shot gun marriage? Territory? Financial?! Holy crap!

These guys are real thugs after all!

Go ahead and let 'em join us!

She's a damn fine woman too. For him to have her all to himself is a bigger crime than what we pull off! Hahahah!!

Gintoki: Dude, she's my wife.

Thugs: That don't mean nuttin! When you join up with us, what's yours is ours!

So go on honey, kick that guy to the curb and chill with us!

(Sfx- Dododododo thwok twok twok twok)

Tsukuyo: Why don't yall taste that?

If ya'll don't shut ya traps for a little bit....

I'll split ya brains in one go.

016

Tsukuyo: Besides, ya'll ain't good 'nuff for me.

My man's 100 times stronger than any of ya.

Thug?: Your husband's looking pretty torn up though...

Gintoki: How about next time you throw those....you throw me a heads up?

Tsukuyo: ...My bad.

(Sfx- Zupu zupu pluck pluck)

Leader: Ahaahah! The husband and wife are both really ballsy!

Aiight. If you wanna join, you gotta do some work for us first.

Gehahahahah....

Tsukuyo: Gintoki....Yanno...

Have ya given any thought to what'll happen if dey find out we here to bust 'em?

(Sfx- Burooooooo vrrrrrrrrrrm)

017

Gintoki: Well, I guess we'd be seen as accomplishes....

and they'd smash our balls in. The end.

Tsukuyo: The end? What you talkin' bout? That's a different type of end right?

Gintoki: Wha? Well....Do you think we can out run them to Hawaii or something?

Tsukuyo: Boy....They probably gonna kill us.....Where we goin' anyway?

Gintoki: I'm pretty sure we're headed to the place where the drugs are manufactured....right?

Yo buddy, where are we headed to?

Guy: Fish paste factory.

Gintoki: A fish paste factory? Sweet! I'm starving.
Tsukuyo: Are ya stupid?! Why you so happy for?! And why are we headin' to a Fish paste factory?!

Gintoki: Listen, I'm sure that it's a code phrase for making illegal drugs.

Big dude: All right everyone! We're approaching the battle field!

Just remember what we're here for! And of all else, don't be afraid to run if it gets tough!

Tsukuyo: A battle field?! 'tha hell is that?! Ain't dis no different from just stealin' stuff?

018

Other guy: All right! We're disembarking! Get your asses out here and be sure to watch out around the 'Fishcake factory'!

(Sfx- Ban bam)

Other guy: Or if you go to the 'drug shipment', don't drink or breath in any of our product this time please!

Tsukuyo: How are the two of dem related?! I don' think of drugs when I have fish paste!

Other guy: Hey you! Get moving! Once you get the product make sure you load it fast!!

Tsukuyo: My bad, but I ain't too good with fish paste, so let me help with tha shipment.

I get all sick when I'm around dat stuff too long.

Gintoki: I'm fine with the fish paste part of things, so I'll go on ahead.

(Sfx- Guhii grab)

Tsukuyo: An' where the hell do ya think YA goin?!

Somehow I convinced them ta let us stay with the drugs...

Gintoki: Is it just me, or are the really scary looking guys heading to the Fish paste factory?

It looks like they're off to risk life and limb over there...

Ah...well how about the Drug guard?

{Drug guard.}

019

Tsukuyo: Gintoki....are we gonna be okay?

Gintoki: Yeah we should be.
Tsukuyo: I ain't feelin too safe 'bout now...

Gintoki: It'll be fine okay?

(Sfx- Burooooo vrmmmmmm)
