Gintama 273

Seriously, Sorachi does NOT belong in Shounen Jump. I'd hate to say it, but he needs to be in a magazine where these kinds of stories will have the proper label of 'moving' or 'touching' rather than 'boring' or 'not filled with bankai.'

GINTAMA
Lesson 273: Radio physical fitness shows are how boys and girls build stable social relationships.
SORACHI HIDEAKI.

Guy: And that's it for today.

Line up and I'll give you your seals for coming~.

You're amazing Kagura-chan~ You haven't missed one class.

But you always just barely make it on time. Be careful that you don't lose your seal because of tardiness.

003

Kagura: Lack of sleep is beauty's enemy.

A woman must get her sleep. It is not good if she does not.

Guy: I don't think someone with a wicked witch do should talk that way.


Though I am surprised that you come so religiously, as kids are a rare sight here.

Only health nuts and the elderly even bother to show up.

In fact, the only two kids are you Kagura-chan,

and one other boy.

That's Hongou Hiashi-kun. He's got perfect attendance too.

He's a bit weaker than most, so he's got to be even more health conscious to make up for it.

He's so punctual~ Always here 15 minutes before the class starts.

Kagura: Hmm?

Well He is fine for today I suppose.

The Friday night movie this week is 'The Wicked witch house.'

After all it is impossible to sleep after seeing it.

I am okay, because I won't let delusions of her taking me away keep me up.

Muhahahahahah!!

{Kabuki Chou's Radio physical fitness show first lesson....}

{Begins!}

(Sfx- Dogooooo Thooooom)

(Sfx- Cha cha cha chara la la la lahaaaaa)

Kagura: I am awakeee~!!

004

{Stretch you arms out and hold your back up straight.}

(Handwritten- Ichi ni san shii)

(Handwritten- Go roku shichi hachi.)

Guy: Is that all everyone?

Looks like everyone has used the bon holiday to let themselves go.


Guy: Kagura-chan, did you stay up for the bon festival?

Kagura-chan?

There are bags under your eyes....

Kagura: No there are not. I am simply amazed with the baker house's wares is all.

Guy: The baker? What do you mean? Or are you talking about that Witches House thing again? Did you stay up and watch it?

(Sfx- Chan chan chan chara chan chan chaaan)

{Stretch you arms out and hold your back up straight.}

(Handwritten- Ichi ni san)

{Bend your knees and hold your arms like a kabaret girl serving booze!}

(Handwritten- Ichi ni san shi)

{Now bend to the ground like a soap girl}

(Handwritten- Weeelcome Weeelcome.)

005

{Spread your legs wide like a stripper.}

(Sfx- Chun chun tweet tweet.)

{You're all pumped today aren't you? Keep it up!!}

(Note- I went home early today. Please give yourself a stamp.)

{See you tomorrow!!}

Hiashi: U—Um...

The S-seal...

Since that man didn't show up today, I have the stamp with me...

Would you like me to...

Give you one?

006

(Card: Radio Physical fitness card.)

Kagura: You do not seem to be on summer vacation.

Could it be that you are broke like we are?

Hiashi: It's not that I don't have money, its more that I have a weak body, and therefore have to stay in the hospital all of the time. I can't stray too far, so I come here.

Kagura: I see. So you have money, but your body is not very good. It is difficult to live in this world is it not?

I am in good shape, but I have no money.

Hiashi: I think that's what's important. If you can keep your body in shape, you can live a long time...that is unlike me.

Because of my illness,

I think that this will be my last summer.

I wasn't asked to be born into this world,

And now I'm going to die when I don't want to either....

I started thinking , 'If only I could do one good thing with myself...'

Kagura: You say some unlucky things. As if you want to die right now.

Hiashi: But Kagura-chan, you have it really good.

I'm always so lonely... Kagura-chan, will you be here tomorrow too?

Kagura: It is certain. Even if it should rain I will come here without fail.

You are a boy. You should come whether it rains or shines too. Do no talk of unlucky things.

I will come and see you, but not if you talk badly of yourself.

007

Hiashi: O—Okay. Thank you Kagura-chan.

Let's do our best together.

Kagura: It is so!

{Kabuki Chou's Radio physical fitness show second lesson....}

(Sxf- Den den dere dere den den den dee ddee deee)

{Rock back and forth using your legs.}

(Handwritten- Ichi ni san shi)

(Handwritten- C'mon, give me a break...)

(Handwritten- I had like two bottles of that stuff. Do you understand my pain...?}

(Handwritten- Go roku shiki)

{Now hold your hand in the air like someone who's hungover.}

(Sfx- Geboooshaaa Gloorsppphh)

Kagura: I would expect no less from Gin-chan! He's an expert at this already!

008

{Now put your arms out and pump them up like a powerful Gorilla!}

(Sfx- Guu guu Grrrind grrind)

Kagura: As expected from boss lady! She knows her gorillas!

{Now pump those legs fast, like a patriot dodging the po-po!!}

Kagura: As I expected from Zura. Now be caught quickly you fool.

(Sfx- Uoooooooooh!)

(Handwritten- WAAAIT!!)

Katsura: Besides, it's not Zura but Katsura!!

(Sfx- Dazu poit)

{Now get on all fours like a sadist waiting to be punished!}

{How rude! I like to give as much as a receive!}

(Sfx-Danzu poit)

{Now put your hands out as you lie down, like a guy who's sold the last of his pride.}

Hasegawa: I'M NOT DOING THIS AS SOME KIND OF ROUTINE!!

(Sfx- Tazu poit)

009

Hiashi: Kagura-chan.

Although no one is doing this with us,

I think I've had the most fun with you by far.

Kagura: What is this you are saying so suddenly?

Hiashi: I haven't been able to do much of anything my whole life because I was in the hospital sick.

I've always longed for a normal healthy body so I could go play with others.

But No matter how much I need something like that, I know that I can't get it.

That's why I love Kabucki Chou's Radio physical fitness show.

Even when things are tough, I can always come here and unwind.

Kagura-chan, you're such a good friend to me...I'm so glad I met you.

010

Kagura: What nonsense. It bothers me none.

(Sfx- Pui fwip)

Kagura: We still have much more work to do on that card, so let us hurry before it is too late!!

Hiashi: Okay!!

(Sfx- Zaaaaah Shaaaa)

Kagura: To stop!!

What are you saying? I must go and do this despite the weather.

Gintoki: Whether you want to listen to me or not, the point remains that it's raining out there.

Kagura: I cannot give up at a time like this!


Gintoki: You're in good health. There's no reason for you to get upset over this Kabuki Chou's Radio physical fitness show.

You can't possibly think someone will come out to the class when it's raining today can you?

Kagura: B-But what of my seal...

Gintoki: If you want one so badly, I'll give you one later. But there is no reason to go out in the rain.

Kagura: I don't want that! The two of us have worked hard on our own.

Gintoki: Do what you want then.

But remember that the two of you aren't the same. He's In the hospital for a reason.

Don't do anything reckless.

{Kabuki Chou's Radio physical fitness show first lesson....}

(Handwritten- Ichi ni san shi)

(Handwritten- Go roku shichi hachi)

??: He's too sick...

Kagura: Why is he in bed?! He was so full of life...

We promised to exercise together...!!

??: That poor boy,

The doctors have already said he doesn't have much time left...

We've tried hard to keep this from him,

But I think he found out somehow, as he's been running off with nary a word lately.

012

???: The Doctors have asked him to sit in bed...

But he still strains his body.


But I had no idea,

That he had even gone out in the rain....

To go out in the rain despite his condition,

Must mean that he has made a promise with his very first friend...

Kagura: I broke the promise....

I did not go out in the rain...

Even though I promised...

I am sorry...

Because of me....

013

Hiashi: It's fine..

The promise doesn't mean anything...

I went out because sitting inside and letting our hard work go in vain was too painful to even think about.

But I guess...

There are things I can and can't do...

I'm so sorry Kagura,

You'll have to go on without me.

I'm sure you can have fun,

Even if I'm not there.

I can't help it, I know you told me not to say this,

But this looks like the end of the line for me...

(Sfx- Kasatsu shft)

Kagura: You must not give up. It is too soon.

Until you are well and can return,

I will do twice as much exercise and get twice as many seals.

Did you know that on rainy days,

You can get seals although you didn't actually exercise?

That's why...

014

Kagura: That's why....

You should get better and come back..

Because I want to exercise with you.

Until you have come back,

The rain will not cease....

No matter how long it takes,

I will wait.
