Gintama 279

Huh...the title of this isn't really a lesson title so much as it is a song title. And considering the fact that there's already a 'Yorozuya blues' I wonder when (or if) the anime gets to this....will we get an updated version of an old classic? Here's one translator that's hoping we do. *nod*

Cats: Wh...

WHITEYYYYY!!!

(Side text- Protect your comrades, and their golden balls!!)

GINTAMA

(Sfx- Gaaaaaa roaaaar)

(Sfx- Dopaaaan twhoook)

(Sfx- Zuzazazazaaa dssssssh)

(Bottom text- Volume 31 will be hitting stores November 4th!!)

(TN- Pretty quick there O_O)

(Sfx- Yurari wibb)

Whitey: ….'Tain't happening.

002

Whitey: I ain't letting you get past me.

Because the territory past this point,

Is the property of Kabuki cho's Alleycat king.

The supreme Whitey.

(Sfx- DOOON)

(Side text- A king's pride!!)

GINTAMA
Lesson 279: Kabuki cho Alleycat blues.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

King?: Wha—what!?

That cat...he's standing on two legssss?!

003

King: How is this possible....

He's...

Katsuo: Dere King.

That's the Top cat in Kabuki cho.

Tha king that sits above all of 'em,

Reigin' supreme and tha like.

(Sfx- Goooshaaaaa doooooffff)

King: A...Amazing....

His vigor and stamina are overwhelming!!

I would only need his strength to revive the Matatabi omega!!

Pursue him! Instill fear into him, and most of all get me his golden balls!!

Cats: Wh...

Whitey!

Why...

Why are you...

(Sfx- Gooooooo ROOAAAAR)

004

Cats: Why would you do this....

After we betrayed you....?

Why?

(TN- The cut off parts are probably from the panel that says 'Why are you looking at me?! Get out of here!! Dunno how the scantlators want to handle it, but it's in your hands.)

(Sfx- Shururuu winnnd)

(Sfx- Shitsuuu grnnd)

(Cut off bubble: WHITEYYYY!!)

Cats: WHY ARE YOU HELPING US?!

005

(Sfx- Min min crack crack)

(Sfx- Meki meki grnnd grnnd)

{C'mon...}

{Just a little bit more..}

{All I need is just a bit more time...}

(Sfx- Zgakoooo ddssssh)

{Don't break down on me now...}

(Sfx- Gigigogogogo grracckkkkle)

{This last one is for him!}

{Let me borrow your body...}

{Just one last time!!!}

006

Otose: You've finally come to eh?

You've been leading Kabuki-cho astray lately haven't you?

But picking fights with bigger dogs is only asking for trouble.

You're lucky that all you lost were your ears.

You're still looking sharp there though.

No need to fret,

Cat: Mew

Otose: The one you were trying to protect is fine.

(Sfx- Funyaa meoww)

Otose: Oh my.

Well well, he ran away.

I guess he doesn't like you much does he?


007

Otose: In any case, I thought that this was the first time I met a man like you,

But in actuality you're just like someone else I know.

You see, a while back I picked up another stray.

He was a lot like you, no more than a mere corpse I found on the roadside.

Although I don't think you're nearly as pathetic as he is.

It appeared that he was looking for something,

It felt as if he had been searching for eternity.

He had been protecting others for so long, that his body was in tatters.

It's as if he was trying to forge bonds by force.

But who can you protect if you don't look after what you already have?

He always seemed to be alone,

Kind of like you.

Afraid of losing something, and not realizing it's there are very similar feelings to humans aren't they?

Or maybe you're trying to punish yourself out of some kind of penance.

But you know that fool...

He managed to gather a bunch of strays like himself,

And now he's no longer alone.

Well to be honest, I'm not sure who found who.

008

Otose: But there isn't a person alive who's satisfied looking at another's back day in and day out.

To be protected by, and protect others...

That's probably what makes him the most happy.

To protect and lose someone, or for him to be protected by and lose another is a never ending cycle.

There's no way around it, as this is just how life is.

But you know, as I watch the three of them...

It doesn't seem like a bad way to live.

Look at me, preaching on and on to a cat.

I guess watching you struggle to live the way you wish just reminds me of old times.

I suggest you live facing forward.

{Certainly if you do that...}

{Friends will gather around you.}

{I'm sure that the person you treasured...}

{Would have wished for you to live the same way.}

009

Whitey: I never wanted to see you,

Now or then old bat....

So why am I getting flashbacks at a time like this?

I'm just one cat. I have no right to lead,

Or protect anyone.

Something like that is a fairy tale that I forgot long ago.

Still I've made some good friends...

And tried to protect them....

They're not being taken from me...

Since it was this paw that couldn't protect them in the first place.

Since it's not like I was qualified to be a Top cat anyway.

{Bro, looks like I can't keep this promise either....}

{I'm sorry...}

010

(Sfx- Biki biki biki biki crackle crackle crackle)

(Sfx- Dogoooooo THOOOK)

(Sfx- Zuzuuuuunnn DSOOOOM)

Whitey: GIIIIIINNN?!?

011

King: What the hell is that cat doing?!!?

When did he get there?!?

Gintoki: Hey bastaaaaaaards!!!

Listen real close to what I'm going to say!!

I'm snatching Whitey's top cat position!!

Starting now, Kabuki cho is changing into a free republic!!

What does this mean?! That Whitey's not the top anything anymore!!

From here on in, you're free to do whatever the hell you want!!

Live by your rules!!

Now you bastards can show me just how happy you are to be freed!

Rack your brains, and come up with an answer to this!

(Sfx- Pii beep)

Gintoki: Now that you don't have a Top cat to tell you what to do...

What do you consider this dried up fur ball to be?!

012

Cats: HE'S

OUR BUDDY!!!

(Sfx- Kuaaaaa ROAAAAR)

013

King: Wha...

(Sfx- Kuwaaaaa Roaaaar)

King: The alleycats have all grouped together...but that's....that's...

A---Amazing!!

Look at them! It's like the clouds and fog have lifted and their energy has been restored!! This is...This is the true Matabiin Omega!!!!

Aide: This isn't the time to talk like that your highness!! We have to get out of here quickly!! The situation has become dangerous!

King: No!! The Matabiiin is about to go ping for sure!!

Katsura: Did you know,

(Sfx- Mnsuuu griiiip)

Kondo: That if you neuter a naughty cat, that he becomes a saint?

Aid: Oh my~ I've never heard THAT before....

King: But you know, that's only a superstition! See there's no reason to ruin my super hot pathios....

Katsura: Shall we give this a go then?

Both: GYAHHHHHH!!!

(Sfx- Dooon)

Thug: Bro, you sure it's okay to just ditch the king like that?

We ain't gonna have the chance to meet someone that is as high up as him again...

Katsuo: Ya touched or somethin' fool? We ain't see no king today.

Today's work ain't too bad though.

Got some spendin' money, and saw some nice prey.

Plus a genuine,

King came out as well.

Whitey: You sure think you're something, huh Gin?

Gintoki: Whether there's a boss cat or not, Kabuki cho's a warzone.

They're just doing what they want now.

Besides, I think it's fine if there's no Top cat.

Now that these guys have got a good friend, that's all that matters you know?

015

Gintoki: And now you don't have to put up with crap any more either.

You can relax and live as you'd like to.

Whitey: I'm not...

Happy simply looking at someone else's back.

Gintoki: By now, don't you think the looking for penance angle is played out?

Sure you lived a bit longer because you're in his body...

But wouldn't you feel better with the chains cut,

and living freely, as an alley cat should?

Whitey: Are you suggesting that I live the way you and the rest of them live?

Gintoki: Sounds like the way things roll down in Kabuki-cho.

Whitey: Gin...

There's just one thing I want to ask you..

Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to be the Top cat any more,

It's just...

016

Whitey: How about we....

(Sfx- Kaaa kaaa kawww kawww)

Gintoki: And when I realized it, I was back in this cat grave again....


Katsura: Perhaps we may have satisfied the curse, and returned to where we started.

Gintoki: so....

Why did we return like this?

Katsura: I suppose saving Whitey-dono may have been just what we needed to redeem ourselves.

Gintoki: ….Do you smell something?

017

Katsura: Do you think that the curse knew of Whitey-don's struggle?

Gintoki: Smells like a crap....but is it your crap?

Katsura: Do you think I should kick you in your chin?

Gintoki: IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK, IT'S WHAT'S THE TRUTH!!

(Sfx- gazaza rustleee)

Shinsengumi: Look! It's Katsura!! It's really him!!

(Sfx- Zugooooo dooooosh)

Katsura: Hahahahaha!! I bid you farewell Gintoki!!

(Sfx- Poto donk)

Gintoki: The hell?! Something came out of your ass!! Is this Shi--

Katsura: I leave Whitey-dono to you!!

Yamazaki(?): Get him!!!!

(Sfx- Bata bata Tmp tmp)

Yamazaki(?): Kondo-san was right on!! That's our leader for you!!

Okita: More like, where has he been this whole time anyway?

Anyway, don't worry about a thing Kondo-san.

Kondo: Uhoho (Take care of Whitey-dono for me!)

Hijikata: Kondo-san, there's something different about you...

Did you get a hair cut?

(Sfx- Suta suta tap tap)

Gintoki: Take care of Whitey-dono?

As if we'll ever meet again.

And if we do, I doubt he'll know it's me.

It stinks!!

018

019

Someone: Hey!

Do you think this is a urinal you damned cat?!

What the hell is this...?

That's some detailed pissing right there!!

(On wall- Thanks bro.)

(Side text- It reeks!!)

GINTAMA LESSON 279...........END.
