Gintama 255

Hurry hurry hurry, get your serious Gintama here file one by one in line and pick up your serious Gintama. Limited time only!! Hurry hurry hurry!

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.

Guy: Damn. Lately there hasn't been anthing for us to do...

(Sfx- Pukaaa aaaaaaaaah)

Guy: Leavin' us hangin' out down here...takin' all the work above...

This 'Yoshiwara' place isn't worth crap no more.

All the good money is being made up on the surface now.

(Top text- The newest Jump comics volume 28 and 'Ginpachi Sensei 4' are now in stores. The 2nd Gintama character book 'Gintama Five years alive' will be released on Friday May first.)

GINTAMA

Guy: We might look like we're the top brass with the organization, but we're no more than middle management. All the tough guys are up on the surface pushin' the goods.

Seems like the higher ups want to focus more on the surface.

Naw, I should say it's cause the management has changed.

Long time ago, we were no more than a bunch of punks mixed together and killin' each other over turf wars.

But it all changed when that guy came in and arranged it so that instead of killin' we'd be rakin in the dough.

002

Guy: All of us...

Work for one guy.

Tsukuyo: I din' thin there would be so many of them Crimson spider thugs here....

Gintoki: Looks like the patriots are planning something big, with this much manpower here.

If you ask me, we're biting off a little bit more than we can chew trying to take on a whole factory of these guys at once.

Tsukuyo: Ain't no point in backin' down now. I wonder what they up to though? Robbin a fishcake factory like this?

Anyways' all we gotta do is cut one thread.

(Sfx- Zucha wiff)
(Handwritten- What is that?)

Tsukuyo: If we exterminate tha big spider...

The rest of tha web will come down.

003

Shinpachi: This guy you're talking about....who is he?

Guy: Beats the hell out of me. Although he's controlling the whole organization, no 'body knows nuttin about him.

He pulls the strings from the dark and we just do as he says.

But ya know, we ain't just following some patsy...if that guy wanted to he could destroy the organization himself.

He's THAT strong.

(Handwritten- Hey! Let me see that!)

Guy: He uses some pretty strange techniques, and fights like a demon.

It's because of his immense power that we all got some work to do now.

You could be detectives or the cops, but investigating that guy is a lifetime of work.

The mysteries around that man are THAT deep.

Better watch how you tread on his web.

Or you might end up losing an arm or leg.

004

Guy: Because in a blink of an eye,

He can reduce your body into a dismembered heap.

(Side text- A piercing killing intent...!!)

GINTAMA
Lesson 255: Get caught up in the spider's web, and you'll be hard pressed to escape.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

(Sfx- Dotsu twhok)

(Sfx- Gashaaa craaash)
Tsukuyo: We've been caught!!

Gintoki: Are you serious?! How the hell could he see us with all those people around?!

{Juss like I thought, that man ain't juss some thug.}

{That powah of observation, his keen eyes, and his kunai handlin'}

{Is tha man a Shinobi?!}

{Naw he ain't just a shinobi eitha....}

(Sfx- Kuaaaaaaaah roooooar)

(Sfx- Dokaaaatsu Thuuuud)

Gintoki: Damn.!

Now they're ALL after us!!

(Sfx- Dooooouuu thuuuuud)

006

Gintoki: All these spiders are creepy crawling all over us!!

This is EXACTLY why I hate to deal with bugs!!

Tsukuyo: Gintoki! I'll get us some time!

Ya'll gotta go back to Yoshiwara and tell Hinowa and tha Hundred blooms what we saw!!

Gintoki: Are you kidding?! How the heck am I gonna get out of here? Besides, are you trying to make me look bad?! Leaving a woman here while I run away?!

Tsukuyo: It was 'cause of me that ya'll got involved in dis business. Now git! I'll deal with them!

Gintoki: Sorry, but I don't listen to the demands of CRAZY WOMEN!

Tsukuyo: I already told ya, quit treatin' me like a woman. With my face scarred up like dis, ain't no body that think of me as ladylike no more anyway.

Gintoki: Then slap on some makeup and squeal over cute clothes, that'll do right?

Tsukuyo: Please...you have to go.

007

Tsukuyo: As long as ya'll are stadin' here wit me...
I can't sum up the resolve ta fight properly....

{Abandon your womanhood...}

{Tsukuyo.}

Tsukuyo: I gotta do 'least that....

Or my heart will nevah find peace...

Thug: URAAAHHHHH!!!

(Sfx- Dooon THWOK)

Gintoki: Don't look awayyyyy!!!

Boss: You're the one...

Who lacks focus.

(Sfx- Shan shiff)

(Sfx- Dodododdodo thwoktwoktwoktwok)

009

Tsukuyo: Gi---

Gintokiiii!!

Tsukuyo: You bastard!!

Boss: You should be seen....

Not heard.

(Sfx- Hyuuu wiff)

(Sfx- Karan clatter)

(Sfx- Bushiiiiii spllllluuuurt)

010

Tsukuyo: Guh!!

Gintoki: Tsukuyo!!

Boss: I had a feeling you'd show up...
Tsukuyo.

Boss: Truly your beauty is beyond words....

But...

Your soul...

Is extremely twisted and repulsive.

Tsukuyo: B---Bastard....

Who tha hell do you think---

(Sfx- Buoooo fwiiiiish)

011

(Sfx- Dogo THUD)

Gintoki: Guahhh!!!

Tsukuyo: Gintokiiii!!

Boss: It's your fault isn't it....

That my elegant moon now has become chipped.

The beautiful moon that at one time put me at ease has become tainted...

(Sfx- Meki meki Throb throb)

(Sfx- Shaaa wiffff)

Boss: Because of you right?

012

(Sfx- Buooooo fwiffff)

(Sfx- Chiiiiin claaaaang)

(Sfx- Gaaaa fwiiiish)

(Sfx- Dogooo thwoook)

(Sfx- Shagaaaaa Shhhhhffff)

(Sfx- Dododododo twoktwoktwoktwok)
(Sfx- Gaaa fwiif)

(TN- It's like Yoshiwara all over again....(Sighs happily) So this is what Bleach translators get to do each week....I could get used to this...)

013

(Sfx- Gakyaaaaa CLLAAANG)

Boss: I see...

Even though I've injured you...your speed hasn't been affected...

I'd expect no less from the man who defeated Housen.

(Sfx- Shuuu hahhh)

Gintoki: Just WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

(Sfx- Buoooo Wifff)

Boss: Interesting. You're in a frenzy while trying to protect this man, even though he's already taxing himself in trying to protect you...This is the first time I've seen you act this way....

You claim that you threw away your womanhood, but I can see clearly that it's being reborn within you..

Or is it....

That you have fallen in love...

With this man?

(TN- DUN DUN DUN.)

014

Seita: Gin-san's really late ain't he?

I was thinkin' he'd be back by now.

Hinowa: I sure hope that the two of them didn't get caught up in something dangerous...

Kagura: It will be fine. After all. Gin-chan is there.

Shinpachi: I think it's BECAUSE Gin-san is there that we should worry.

More importantly, sorry for being out all day Hinowa-san.

We were investigating a few things, and lost track of time.

Hinowa: It's fine. Thank you for your hard work.

I'm growing worried about her, with this talk of illegal drug trade and such

I sure hope she won't do anything reckless.

Kagura: You speak of Tsukki?

Hinowa: Hee hee, yes Tsukki. What a cute nick name. You'd be the first to call her that.

Kagura: Is it good?

Hinowa: Yes...I think I'll start calling her that for now on too. Tee hee...

She's always burdening herself with other's responsibilities and walking alone...all of her friends worry about her...

She is a woman after all, and while I can't thank her enough for protecting me in the past, I feel she should have the chance to do as she wishes, and perhaps have someone that she can turn to when things get tough.

015

Hinowa: She's always there protecting all of us, but yet no one protects her.

This time there are a multitude of problems, and she shouldn't have to think about them all alone.

I'm afraid she's always overworking herself with thoughts of others but never for herself.

I know when I'm in trouble I can rely on her...

But it's because I do that she can't seem to bring herself to rely on me.

But you are different...all of you.

When she's with you I can see that she becomes relaxed, and can rest easy.

That's why in this case I asked you to help out, as I know you can become her allies best.

Because besides the Hundred Blooms...

She's still just one woman.

You're all so amazing really.

No matter what you're faced with you rise to the occasion, no matter how problematic things become you always see them through to the end; like crazy fools you never give up.
Shinpachi: Hinowa-san, are you praising us? Or mocking us?

Hinowa: I'm overjoyed to see Tsukuyo's face light up...

And that's why I ask when you're not too busy that you frequent this place, and see her often.

She needs people like you in her life.

Especially since that person is no longer around...

016

Shinpachi: That person?

Who are you talking about?

Hinowa: A long time ago..

She had one person that he could rely on....

No matter what happened to him...

He would always place her first.

Boss: Tsukuyo...

I told you didn't I?

You need to throw away that which makes you woman...and let me protect you.

Have you forgotten how painful it was when you were scarred?

(Sfx- Pota drip)

{Throw away your womanhood...}

017

{Tsukuyo...}

{You can protect nothing. If you want to gain the strength to protect you must throw away your womanhood.}

Boss: You can't protect anything if you are too busy looking after yourself...

(Sfx- Biri rip)

Boss: That is why you can't protect anything.

(Sfx- Biri biri rip rip)

Boss: That's why the officials have fallen into a state of disrepair.

Who are the officials anyway?

(Sfx- Biri biri biri rip rip rip)

Boss: They are not the Bakfu, the Shogunate or even the lords.

They are all just things to be protected.

(Sfx- biri biri rip rip)

018

Hinowa: That's right...

That man put his all into protecting Tsukuyo..

She yearned for him.

However...

What he really was protecting wasn't Tsukuyo at all...

But I'm sure she didn't know that...

perhaps...

Shinpachi: Who is he...

What is this person to her?

Boss: The sun shines above any person....

But what people fail to understand is that there is an equally beautiful moon in the sky too. However I know...

Only I know your beauty.

Therefore only I can protect you.

019

Boss: Yes just as before...

I will keep you safe elegant moon...

Hinowa: The strongest man within the Oniwabanshu...who was exiled and tossed away into Yoshiwara..the runaway shinobi...

I'm sure that no one knows his true name...so they simply refer to him as...

Jiraia

Founder and chief of the Hundred blooms....

Tsukuyo's

Tsukuyo: T--

Teacher?!
