Gintama 298

Just realized something....Chin Pirako our new killer loli (or is she?) Has a very...interesting name. Chinpira means 'Thug' and Ko is a common ending for girls names. So If one wanted to, they could translate her name as 'Gangsta chick'. :-P

I luv you Sorachi.

I don't love people who use this without my permission though.

(Side text- Gin-san’s done it now!!)

Gintoki: Umm…what had happened was…uh…I wanted to flick him in the forehead, but I don’t know my own strength.
Yeah…that’s it….
Shinpachi: YOU FLICKED HIM AND HE WENT FLYING?!

(Sfx- Gatsu *grab*)
Gintoki: DAMN YOOOOOU!!!
(Sfx- Boooon boon boon *fwiiiish fwiiish fwiiish.)
Gintoki: Dragging me into a revenge pity party by acting like a poor thug!!!
(Handwritten- It’s gonnna snaaap)
Gintoki: Quit screwing around dammit! Who’s going to pick a fight with Jirochou?! Who’s going to be the boss?! Who’s….
Guy2: Bastard!! Don’t think you’re getting away with this!! This ain’t no simple matter, it’s a war!!
Gintoki: WHO WANTS A WAR DAMMIT!?
(Handwritten- Shut your noise hole!!)
(Sfx- Dogooooo *twhooook*)
Shinpachi: Gin-saaaaan!!! QUIT ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE!!!!

003
Gintoki: I’m totally calm! You guys need to simmer okay?! Just help me find Doraemon….
Shinpachi: YOU CALM DOWN!!
(Sfx- Gata gata *shiver shiver.*)
(Handwritten- Sir, what are you doing?!)
Gintoki: We’ll be okay, all the proof that we had anything to do with this is gone! There’s no way JIrocho will find out anything!!
Kagura: It’s all right Ginta-kun~! (Hoarse voice.)
And what’s this~?
It’s fresh concrete!! (Hoarse voice.)
(Sfx- Tarirararatataaaa-)
Shinpachi: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Kagura: Quiet! If we can throw Jaianosuke and Suneorochmaru into this can, the chances of us getting away clean improve! You’ll be the emperor yet!(Hoarse voice.)
Shinpachi: WHO WANTS THAT!!? AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE EMPEROR?!
Gintoki: I knew I could count on you Doraemon!! We’ll need another for Sugizou though…
Shinpachi: WAAAIT!! YOU’RE REALLY GOING TO DO THIS?! WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM ACTUAL GANSGTAS THEN?!

Guy: Umm…the agenda for this meeting is increasing the garbage collection control in the neighborhood this month…
(Board- Kabuki-cho Cleanup project.)
Guy: Ah…everyone, if you have any ideas, please feel free to share them…
Everyone: DISAPEAR, TRASH.
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *rmmmmmmmble*)
(Side text- Truly dreadful!!)
Guy: RIGHT AWAY!! I’M SORRY!!!
(Sfx- Gararabishaa *clump clump slam!*

SORACHI HIDEAKI
Lesson 298: Trash that is mixed together will stink.
(Outside panel text- Gintama: Benizakura arc New translation has started the second wave of presale tickets this week!! For the latest movie news, check out page 8!!)

005
Otose: Now why would you call me out to a place like this?
(Background KABUKI CHO EMPERESS OTOSE.)
Otose: I don’t recall there being any problems with trash disposal…
Saigou: Not a problem you say? It’s a problem when two visions of loveliness like ourselves are forced to be in the same room with a trashy old bat…
Why not just read the atmosphere already? What’s calling you is an incinerator.
(Background- FIERCE GOD MADEMOISELLE SAIGOU)
Otose: I’d rather not hear that from an industrial waste heap like yourself.
Kada: Fufu…It never changes…
(Background: KUJAKU HIME KADA.)
Kada: I apologize for calling you to a place like this….
It’ll only be a moment….we’re waiting for one more person..
Otose: Jirochou? Forget it. He’s stayed out of the public eye for 23 years now…
Kada: Hmm, I suppose. I thought we should all talk after all four of us have gathered…
But then again, things do happen….if he doesn’t chose to appear, we should just start without him.
There’s no choice then…
We need to talk about Kabuki-cho’s current situation.

006
Kada: With this passing year, the town has been under a noticeable strain because of their presence…
When did our balance of power shift like this…?
If we should let those pathetic fools continue to fight in their petty skirmishes, It won’t be long until Kabuki-cho’s downfall.
We can choose to look the other way if we want, but war is brewing…
That is the current state of affairs here, and I’m sure no one wants a war.
Saigou: You’re one to talk….
After all, you and Jirochou are the most flamboyant around here right?
For a while now, you’ve been making deals with Jirochou and his gang…
And that’s the reason why you were able to build that Casino thing without raising suspicions….
Aren’t the two of you really good buddies?
Kada: Isn’t this the pot calling the kettle black, Saigou?
A little birdie told me that you’re gathering patriots and fallen warriors at your place…
Almost as if you’ve been trying to gather power to oppose Jirochou…
Saigou: Huh?!

007
Kada: It’s a bit strange really, what would you need with a muscular force like that?
Are you going to take over Jirochou’s territory and gang, and gain independence for yourself?
Is your goal to create a Okama empire?
Saigou: Don’t go making things up about me!!
I only offer a place for them to go when they have nowhere else, and that’s it…!!
Kada: But you’ve already made several advances on Jirochou’s gang…so it’s obvious what you’re trying to do…
And you Otose…
Otose: I don’t have any interest in a war, nor do I want to participate in your little games.
Kada: You may not be interested but your influence is rock steady…
This is the reason why the city folk trust you and come to you for consultation.
And to that end, you’ve had those suspicious Yorozuya characters running around…
Try to deny it, but you can’t ignore that they’ve had plenty of scrapes with Jirochou’s gang.
You’re letting them run wild as they please.
Otose: That bunch? Useful? I’m not too sure about that.
I also wouldn’t say that they’re ‘doing as they please’ either. Try not to make up facts, please.

008
Otose: Everyone has to do outrageous things in this city to get by…
That includes me and them….we’re just trying to live.
That’s all.
Kada: As usual, you’re simple to a fault.
However, they are eating away at us.
Should we let this keep up, we won’t be able to claim the title ‘Shitenou’ any more.
Our balance of power is slipping…
And something is beginning to happen…
The thugs are taking over our town…and hoisting up a single king.
And the time of our tripod of power is beginning to fade.
If the new king should have his way, our belongings will become his, and war will have us in it’s grip.
And it won’t be just any war….we will suspect and fear each other, and fights will break out everywhere. The whole city will drown in violence.
Can anyone truly say that they want something like this to happen?
Rather than making enemies out of each other, shouldn’t we come together against our true foe…
Jirochou?

009
???: I see…
Is this a ‘Let’s get rid of that nuisance Jirochou’ meeting?
Otose: You…
Thugs: HOLD ON A FRIGGIN MINUTE!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THAT TO OUR GANG AND GET AWAY WITH IT?!?!
(Sfx- Dododododododo *rmmmmmmmm*)
Shinpachi: GYAHHHHHH!!!
It’s all over!! It’s a war! We’re in a war!!!
Gin-saaannnnn!!! Why’d you have to do something so outrageous!!
Kagura: We’ll have to meet with master Ginta-kun later! (Hoarse Voice.)
Shinpachi: SO WE’RE DECOYS!? THAT ROTTEN BASTARD! I’LL REMEMBER THIS!

010
Shinpachi: I’LL REMEMBER THIIIIISS!!
(Sfx- Uraaaaaah!!!)
Pirako: Looks like dey’re gone Bro…
(Sfx- Kapaatsu *clatter*)
Pirako: It’s gettin’ interestin’ ain’t it?
Gintoki: ‘The hell is interesting?
This happens like..every month here.
Listen, there’s nothing cool about revenge okay?
If you die, your buddies will get pissed, and we end up with more guys here. Just live like a normal girl….I’m sure that’s all everyone wants.
Pirako: Bro…
I’ve been meanin’ to ask ya…whats yous mean about this revenge stuff?
Gintoki: Well… That IS why you came here right? ‘Cause you want to slaughter Jirochou and his gang as a part of a revenge plot?
Pirako: What are yous talkin’ bout bro? I did come to break apart Jirochou and his group…
But I ain’t gonna hurt no ones.

011
Pirako: Everyone’s plantin’ flowers and stuff…
I came to put up a sign board…advertisin’ the ‘Safflower gardens’….
Dey’re really pretty yanno.
But dey’re borin’, so I came out here to have some fun~
Gintoki: WHAAAAAT?!
SO THIS HAS BEEN ONE HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING THEN?! YOU SURE WAITED A LONG ASS TIME TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!!
Quit screwing with me….!! Here I was thinking you had a dark past or something….and I wasted SO much time trying to dissuade you from taking revenge too!!
More like why the hell would you come here of all places?!
Pirako: But I to’ ya already. I came to decorate Jirochou’s place with flowers. How’d ya miss that?
Gintoki: WHATEVER THEN! YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID IT STRAIGHT!!
Pirako: I don’ get what you mean…
I wanna see the greatest boss unda the heavens!
Jirouchou’s like a flower, and I’d give anythin’ to see ‘im bloom again.
But if I’m gonna do that, I’d have to deal with his enemies, ‘capiche?
That’s why I came lookin’ for you bro, cause you’re the strongest.
Gintoki: ….I get it….well good luck…
I suppose since your head has flowers where brains should be, you should do okay and all.
But this is the part where I exit stage left.
Plant flowers whenever, wherever. Sayounara.

012
(Sfx- Dosun *thud*)
(Sfx- Guu guu *grnnd grnnd*)
(Sfx- Piki pike *crackle crackle*)
Pirako: Bro, I don’ think we’re gonna get away from dem guys that easy though…
Gintoki: I’M NOT GETTING AWAY FROM THIS BUCKET THAT EASY EITHER!!
GREAT!! NOW I’M STUCK IN THIS BUCKET!! THE CONCRETE HARDENED BECAUSE YOU WOULDN’T SHUT UP!!
(Sfx-Gyah gyah)
Gintoki: What’ll we do?! More like, how did we end up like this?!
(Sfx- Zatsu *Swiff*)
???: Well lookie here….
Yo buddy, ya want that we take care of ya…
Nice and cleanly?

013
Saigou: Y…you’re…
Jirochou: Sorry to keep you guys waiting…
The trouble maker has arrived.
???: Ji…
Jirochou….

014
Jirochou: Don’t mind me, just keep right on talking…
You left off at the part where you were planning to do away with me…
Kada: You’ll have to excuse us….these are mere words.
We just don’t want to see this city be torn apart by war.
And so, we’re going to stop the one who’s running about causing trouble.
Jirochou: So you’re going to kill me without hesitation?
Ridiculous. I’m not so big that killing me will solve all of your problems.
You’ve made a big mistake though, gathering here to talk…
It’s the same as placing your necks in a row. You’re all now in the range of my sword….
(Sfx- Shiiin *zzzzssssh*)

015
Jirochou: One of Kujaku-hime’s pets huh?
Kada: Fall back. That was a mere joke.
Jirochou: No no, he’s actually dead on….
Reading my killing intent like that….that takes some balls.
However with my age now, my killing intent and even my pee stream are out of whack.
You need to work on your sword skills a little bit more though…you’ve got too many openings..
Even now, my body is on the clock, twenty four seven.
So even with that display….
Did you really believe that I wouldn’t notice someone trying to kill me?
(Sfx- Bushiiiiii *bloooooorsh*)
(Sfx- Baaan *clatter*)
Kada: I’m telling the lot of you to stop this at once!!
(Sfx- Dogagagagaa *claaaaater*)

016
Thugs: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR BOSS?!
WE’VE GOT YOU NOW, SHITENOU!!!
(Sfx- Dododododododo *Tmtmpmtpmtpmp*)
(Sfx- Gonnn *Thud*)
Okama: FINALLY SHOWED YOUR DIRTY TAILS HUH THUGS!!
WE WON’T LET YOU LAY A FINGER ON MAMA!!!
(Sfx- Waaaaaah)
(Sfx- Kutsuuu *dssssh*)
???: Stop it!!
I’m telling you bastards to stop!!
(Sfx- Dododooooo *THOOOM*)
Everyone: BUGHAHHHH!!!

017
Saigou: Listening in on a lady’s conversation are we….?
YOU BASTARDS BETTER BE READY….
TO LOSE THOSE BXLLS!
(Sfx- Baki baki *crackle crackle*)
Okama: Hiiiiii!!
S---Sorry Mama!!
We don’t have those though…
(Handwritten- BOOOOSSS!!)
(Sfx- Pikiki *crackle…)
Jirochou: Listen up scum..
(Sfx- Gobaaaaa *THOOOM*)
Jirochou: You don’t come out from behind the curtain….understand….?
(Sfx- Chinnn *clack*)

018
Otose: My oh my…
How are we going to stop monsters like these?
I certainly hope that someone has a decent plan cooked up.
Kada: You’ve seen it yourself now…
The seal that is our power is beginning to unfurl…
And this is the result.
The power that we once held is no longer suffient for the four of us.
As much as we’d like to avoid it, a death match is immanent.
Moreover, once one of us has more power…
They will take it to use against the other three,
And crush them underfoot.

019
Jirochou: Heheh…
So in the end, nothing has changed between you three huh?
Do you conspirators….
Think that you can take the life of I, Jirochou?
Kada: Try not to misunderstand…this is war….and new rules apply….
Rules born of warfare…
Otose: The number one rule in warfare is strike first.
To think we’re betting everything on this one fight….I had no idea that our city is this predictable.
Saigou: And here I was thinking we could avoid war…
I guess it can’t be helped.
Jirochou: Heh…
Are you fools crazy?
In any case, this works out fine…
Let’s see who has the most endurance…
But I expect to be the one to emerge from the rubble….
So be careful.
(Side text- They’re already emerged!! And they’re looking like rubble!)
