Gintama 227

This chapter, needs an award dammit. I've never had such a roller coaster of emotions translating a single chapter of anything in my whole life. Although the end is a little bit lacking, Sorachi more than amply makes up with it with everything else, and even the color page was really good.

BTW I won't be doing Neuro this week because the raw quality is abominable. If someone can get me a better raw I'll give it a stab. Otherwise you'll have to wait for 173 next week....sorry!

(Top purple text- To take back the bonds of light!! Yoshiwara’s destruction arc gets a grand finale center color page!)

(Different colored text- Strong, Eternal, Deep, and branching out. To each their own form.)

Kamui: People are pretty sad aren’t they?

You wanted this, and to death it seems.

There are things you can’t reach for…

And grip within your outstretched hands.

Even the Night King has things he can’t have.

Such as light.

Boss…

Isn’t your ‘sun’ to blame for your poor condition now?

You…

Couldn’t stand the absence of heat huh?

004

Kamui: You acted like you were the most disinterested, and had the most hatred for it. more than anyone.

You acted like you were the one who cursed it the most.

The sun that us Yato could never ever lay our hands on.

We had become used to the cold battlefield.
Building our nests where the soft and warm light couldn’t find us.

You can’t put it out or erase it…

The light in their eyes.

And for that reason you tried to steal their light above.

And bring the women into the darkness you inhabited.

Even going as far as draping this city of Hades in the darkness.

Even then…

It wouldn’t disappear…..

You hate it…

And fell in love with it.

005

Housen: Heheh…

(Sfx- pakitsu *crackle*)

Housen: Love?

Where did you learn a word like that Kamui?

You can come and lecture me all you want, I know you more than anyone has no idea what that word means.

You and I….are walking down the same path.

Kamui, I see myself in you.

Knowing nothing other than battle…

You will with your own two hands destroy everything that it is you desire

And before long you will stand, more powerful but with nothing to show for it.

With no real knowledge…

Of what it is to love or to hate.
006

Housen: Kamui, you’d best realize it soon…

Before you become old and it’s too late to turn back.

The path we walk upon….

Ends in nothingness.

Having what you desire right in front of you…

That is, wanting to embrace it, but your arms being unable to.

I had forgotten what it was to hold without baring my claws.

I tried to pull what I desired towards me with my full strength.

But even though my arms were outstretched…

What I desired still remained in the distance.

007

(Sfx- Pakitsu paratsu *crackle crack*)

{Mister? Don’t you know? No matter who it is, the sun will watch over them.}

{The sun doesn’t care, it just wants to share its light.}

Housen: Why…

Why do you hate me to this extent?

{I’m sure that above you…..}

{Even though it’s cold and lonely, that light can find your heart.}

Housen: Why…

Do you decline me so?

{That’s why Mister…}

{You can’t hate the sun anymore…}

(Sfx- Piki pikitsu *Crackle crackle…*)

Housen: Why…

Do you burn me so badly?

008

(Sfx- Pakitsu *Crackle*)

Housen: I’m…

So thirsty…

{I can’t….}

{See anything….}

009

{Not even the unreachable light…}

{Just a pitch black night…}

(Sfx- zatsu *swif*)

{Death is it?}

{It must be fate for the night king…}

{To fade into the darkness…}

(Sfx- Paatsu *sheen*)

010

{This is…}

{This light….}

011

Housen: Hi….

Hinowa…

012

Hinowa: At last….

You’ve found what you’ve been seeking..

Take a look…

I said I’d give it to you didn’t I?

This sky….

Is for you.

013

Hinowa: Just as I promised…

You and the sun can now let bygones be bygones.

I’ve always known

No matter the horrible things that you’d do…

That your persona as the Night King was nothing more than an exaggeration.

You were…

Just filled with regret.

You regretted…

Dozing off while the sun was in the air..

Just like a normal older man.

014

Hinowa: That’s all it was…

However to create such a ridiculous city…

To turn everyone into your enemy…

(Sfx- Potatsu *drip*)

Hinowa: You are a truly….

Foolish man.

015

Hinowa: Just a foolish man.

016

(Sfx- Pachi pachi pachi *Clap clap clap.*)

Kamui: How splendid!

An excellent performance.

017

Kamui: Is what I’d like to say…

But you all seem a bit upset.

Your little flames converged…

And finally cut the chains that the Night King led you around on, and got the sun back as well.

I seriously didn’t think you could defeat the Night King…

I’m really glad I made the effort to come all the way out here, because I haven’t been THIS entertained in a long time.

But let me ask you something. Do you really believe that Yoshiwara will change now?

The darkness that engulfs this place isn’t limited to the Night King.

We the Harusame pirates, are at the very center of the Bakfu, operating in the darkness.

You may have dethroned one Night king, but it won’t be long until another is born.

Gintoki: It has changed.

The people have changed, and so has the city.

From here on in..

The sun won’t have a problem flashing it’s big mug past the clouds and watching over this city.

And their light can…

Never be put out again.

Kamui: Heh, Is that so? That’s some self confidence you’ve got there.

All right then…

I the second Night King

Declare war….

(Sfx- Gagagagagaga *blamblamblamblam*)

(Sfx- Zatsu *Swif*)

(Sfx- Doooon! *Dooooosh!*)

Kagura: KAMUIIIIIIIII!!!

You’re going up against ME next!

I’m ready!!

(Sfx- Buatsu *Blam!*)

020

(Sfx- Baaaaaa)

(Sfx- Gashitsu *grriiiip*)

Kagura: I’ll rip your spine out and straighten it out for you!!

Shinpachi: Stop it Kagura-chan! You can’t beat him with your body in this shape!!

(Sfx- Gya gya)

Kamui: Well she gave me quite a shock! Still alive huh?

And she still seems to be quite energetic.
I hate to chat and run, but I’ll need you to watch over my dear baby sister.

I’m going to need to become a bit stronger…

And I’d recommend that you do a bit of training yourself.

Gintoki: You!

Kamui: Listen, I’m the sort of guy who will get his side dish first, but prefers to eat it last.

To cut to the chase, I find you interesting.

021

Kamui: Go clean yourself up a bit, and let your wounds heal.

Well I know lots of things may happen….

But don’t die.

Not until….

I’ve killed you.

(Sfx- Sutsu *Swish*)

Kamui: Later!

Samurai-san!

Kagura: Hold it!!

Kamui!!

KAMUIIIIIIII!!!
