GINTAMA
{I’ve pretty much just fallen and rolled through my life until now.}
{At least in the end, I’d like to go to that faraway land…}
{To fly high into that…}
{Azure sky…}
{Is what I thought.}
???: Allrighty.

002
???: If you fall from this height you’re road kill.
There’s a certain yakiniku place down there , and if you happen to drop in both you and pops will end up in places no one will be able to pursue you to.
(Sfx- Zatshh *Sfft*)
Hasegawa: Don’t misunderstand me…
It’s not like I’m trying to die or anything.
The wings that will allow me to fly…
Are still there…they’ll grow just when I need them….I’m sure of it.
???: I dunno what’s going on with you…
(Sfx- Gotohh *tunk*)
???: But don’t you have any family or friends who’d be sad to see you go?
More importantly…
(Sfx- gatcha gatcha *clack clack*)
???: If you were to kick the bucket here, it’d be kind of a pain for me.
Life is…
Not meant to be rough.
(Sfx- Jakkii *clack*)

Lesson 444: The sunglasses of life and death.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
(Side text- This week’s Gintama chapter is the ominous number 444…)
???: Can you hear me…?
There’s a job I gotta do here at all costs.
I’ve spent countless months going over every detail and planning every step for this job that has to be done.
I won’t get a better shot at my prey than today at this time.
(Banner- Welcome to Earth!)
???: If this building is caught up in a uproar, then all of my efforts will go down the drain…so..
So don’t make life out to be some sorta pity party. Knock it off already.
Hasegawa: I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!!

004
Hasegawa: You’re looking pretty prepared to end a life real rough like there arentcha buddy?
You totally look like one of those assassin guys!
Dude: Don’t misunderstand me. I’m just here hunting boars.
Hasegawa: WHAT FARAWAY PLANET IS THIS BOAR ON?!
You’re the one who should stop trying to play mobster!! What do you think life is?!
Dude: Classic. The guy who was trying to commit suicide is asking me about the value of life.
Hasegawa: YOU DON’T GET TO TALK THAT WAY ASSASIN!
Dude: Shut yer pie-hole shit stain sunglasses.
Hasegawa: I don’t wanna be told that by someone who’s sunglasses are equally crappy!
Dude: Your sunglasses are crappy.
Hasegawa: Noooo, your sunglasses are crappy!
Dude: I didn’t really want to get into particulars but like you I’m a sunglasses wearing guy who’s also an assassin.
Hasegawa: Uh, your observational skills sort of suck!
Dude: The only real difference between us is you wanna bury yourself while I wanna bury someone else.
For real, we’re not here to talk about being suited to one sort of life or another….
So how about we just avoid getting in the way of each other’s ‘work’?
If I’m to put it straight, I don’t really care what kind of lameass sunglasses you’re wearing.
Hasegawa: THIS IS ABOUT THE SUNGLASSES?!
Dude: It’s just this is the worst place and worst time for problem to start.
I can’t possibly let the pray I’ve hunted here escape from this place…not after searching for so long.

005
Dude: And so buddy…what’s the deal?
I mean do you really need to do this today? And on this building?
Moreover do you really intend to literally throw yourself into the act? Is what I’m trying to ask.
See, I’ve been scoping this place out for the last month, and I’ve noticed you standing there..
Hasegawa: Yeah…I guess what you saw is the truth.
I’ve come here with thoughts of dying, but thinking of my sunglasses being no more than a smear on the ground makes me waiver…
I figure there might be easier ways to off myself…
Hey…you’re an assassin right? You’re not afraid of pain or sadness, so…do you know of a way for me to die without busting my sunglasses?
Dude: …That’s basically saying you don’t want to die then right?
Hasegawa: I’d like it best if my sunglasses could go on living.
Dude: ….Ok, remove the sunglasses and THEN die.
I’m an assassin, brah. I don’t have any feelings about killin’ or dying. My life is my work, and my work is ending lives.
I have nothing in my head other than how to nail my prey right in the middle of the eyes…so why don’ t you..
Hasegawa: I KNOW!!
Why don’t you make me your next job?! That would be awesome!!
If you’re an assassin, you aren’t scared of pain and don’t feel fear so you can send me to heaven in one blissful shot!!

006
Dude: ….Quit screwing around man. I’m a real assassin.
I doubt you could even fathom how much each one of my bullets is actually worth.
If I start blasting idiots down out of some misguided sense of duty, ill end up in the poor house before long. Each bullet is a blessing.
Whether it’s time to kill my prey, or time to get it on with the ladies, I do it all in one shot.
(Handwritten- Eh? Over already Sacho-san?)
Dude: That’s how I was banish—That’s how I got my name ‘One shot Ishin’.
Hasegawa: That’s a pretty elaborate and stupid way of saying you ‘come too fast’.
Oh well. Guess I gotta do this death thing myself.
Ishin: Wait up!
Fine, how about this then?
You go over to the roof of that multistory tower and wait.
My target is there….he’s the space merchant Chokyuukai, and he’s throwing a ‘welcome to Japan’ party.
Hasegawa: Wow…he really is a boar huh?
Dude: When you see the signal from me in the mirror, you jump from the roof.
When you jump down from the roof there will be a moment where you and my target’s locations will overlap which makes it possible to shoot through you both.
Easy peasy right?
(Bubbles: Me//Hase//Boar.)
Hasegawa: UM THAT SOUNDS SORT OF REALLY DIFFICULT AND IMPOSSIBLE!
Dude: Difficult maneuvers that ensure that I clean up using only a single bullet is sort of my aesthetic.
Hasegawa: But wouldn’t jumping from that place end up leaving my sunglasses in little pieces in the end?

007
Dude: No need to worry. Even if I lose sight of you, I’ll make sure I find those. Believe in me.
Hasegawa: Who’d believe you?
So it should be around here….
Now all I gotta do is wait for his signal…
Man. It feels like I’m right back to where I started.
Well…I hope at least with this I might be able to get to heaven with relative ea---
???: Alrighty.
If you fall from this height you’re road kill.
There’s a minced cutlet place below run by a little old lady…
And once I’m done here I won’t be able to see her or you again…..but before that…
Life is…
Not meant to be rough.
(Sfx- Jyakkiii *clack*)
{THERE’S ONE HERE TOOOOO?!}
{WHY IS THERE AN ASSASSIN HERE TOOOOO?!}
{WHAT’S WITH THE ROOFS IN EDO?! THERE’S A SNIPER INFESTATION GOING ON!!}

008
???: Sorry but it would be a problem if you were to raise a fuss here.
If I miss my enemy then it’s all over.
{Oh crap…what will I do? My plan is screwed…}
???: If you don’t want to die, then get lost immediately.
{Well…I actually DO want to die so…}
???: Cause it seems ‘One shot Ishin’ is aiming for this building….
{Wait…you’ve gotta be kidding me.}
???: To think I’d be able to compete with that legendary sniper…my arm is singing in delight.
I’m so grateful to the boss…
{This person wants to kill Isshin because he’s an enemy assassin?!}
{This is one hell of an oversight in his plan!!}
{If I don’t do something about this person then he won’t be able to seal the deal for me….?}
{Wait…this is…}
{An assassin too!!}
???: I get it…
Isshin is on that building…
Thanks for telling me that. I’m grateful.
Hasegawa: Nononono! Don’t be grateful to me! But if you insist how about blasting me once in the noggin?! Ahahaahah!

009
???: Sorry but no can do.
I may be an assassin but using my skills on anyone other than Isshin or his ilk is a sin I can’t commit to.
I don’t go against the ladies or my pray with thoughts of revenge.
(Handwritten- Eh? Is it over already Sacho-san?)
???: That’s where I get my name Pre-jackulate Yi-ron’.
(TN- …..It gets worse. (Or better?))
{Um, gotta say your names really don’t sound very assassin like! Is this some sorta fad with you guys?}
???: Though I am not someone who is so rude that I won’t thank you for your assistance.
How about this?
You may want to return to that other building.
Hasegawa: Eh?
???: I can’t allow for any slip ups against an opponent like Ishin…nor will I let this chance get away.
Until I am ready to snipe him, you’ll need to lure him to this place.
Think of any underhanded means you can to lead him.
If you are to do that, then I’ll have no choice but to sink a bullet into both of your rotten heads.
{THIS HAS BECOME UNCESSARILY COMPLICATED!!}
{ISN’T THIS A LITTLE WEIRD?! I JUST WANNA DIE!}
{WHY AM I HELPING OUT TWO ASSASSINS THEN?!}

010
{A—anyway I just have to lead him around for a bit to grant myself the sweet release of death.}
Hasegawa: I-ishin…
Ishin: What the hell are you doing? I told you to wait for the signal…
Hasegawa: T---
They got me…
Ishin: What happened?
Hasegawa: R—run…they’ve already taken over the entire town.
Ishin: You sayin’ my plan’s been discovered?
Hasegawa: Yeah….
I might be finally able to die as I wanted but…
Danger is creeping towards you….I just wanted to tell you that.
Ishin: Y—you…
Hasegawa: If I’m gonna die anyway, I wanted it to be in your hands…
Ishin: Hey! Hang on!!
Hasegawa; B—before I die…could you take me to that high place up there?
For someone like me who’s only fallen…I’d like my last minutes to be as close to the azure skies as possible…
Ishin: Hold on.
{Here we go!! He’s falling for it!!}
Ishin: I’ll take you to the hospital right now.
{………..EH?}
(Sfx- Gatsuhh *graaab*)

011
Hasegawa: N—no wait…I just want to be as high up as possible before I die..
Ishin: Asshead!! Don’t talk about death so lightly!!!
{Um…you’re the one who seems overly hot about this..}
Ishin: You can’t die…I won’t let you.
I said I’d be the one to kill you so you have to stay alive until then.
{….He’s actually a nicer guy than I thought.}
{But this is a problem!! Unless I fool this guy with some sorta underhanded method I can’t get the other sniper to kill me!!}
Hasegawa: W—wait. You’re a pro assassin right? Don’t you think it’s kind of an occupational no-no to leave in the middle of a job?
Ishin: Which would you THINK is more important?! My job or someone’s life?!
Hasegawa: WEREN’T YOU THE GUY WHO SAID YOUR JOB IS TAKING LIVES EARLIER?!
Ishin: Dammit. Those lowdown bastards….
{Um, let us not forget that you too are one of those lowdown bastards!!}
Ishin: Are you not happy with taking my little sister that you have to take my friend too?!
{Um…when exactly did we become friends?!}
(Sfx- Dochuun docuhhun *ptwiing! Ptwaaang*)
Ishin: What the hell…?!
There’s a sniper on the adjacent roof!!
{Sorry Yi-ron-san!! I’m at my limit here!! This guy’s unexpectantly decent!!}

012
Ishin: Dammit. At this rate they’re gonna send us both to our maker. I’ll act as a decoy.
(Sfx- Jakkii *sfft*)
Ishin: In that time you have to draw their sniper in so I can take care of ‘em here.
{WHAT KIND OF REQUEST ARE YOU MAKING TO A GUY WHO WANTS TO DIE?!}
{I’M NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF HE’S A GOOD GUY OR AN ASSHOLE ANYMORE!!}
Ishin: Don’t die man.
{No, seriously I want to die! How can I make this any clearer to you?}
{What the hell is this?!}
{I’ve said it over and over again that I came here to die!}
(Sfx- Zeh zeh)
{Yet I’m running back and forth settling a feud here!! Moreover I’ve gone and taken a request to kill from a killer! Does that make me an assassin?!}
{I mean if I’m out here to die anyway, should it matter what assassin does it?!}
{If I’m serious about dying, then Yi-ron should be serious about killing me!}
{This time…}
{I won’t back down till I’m deaaaad!!}
{…Already dead}
Hasegawa: HEEEEEEY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
If you go and die, then who’s going to kill me!? Wake up!! Open your eyes!!

013
Yi-ron: S—sorry…
I was too clumsy.
Hasegawa: Hang on!! What happened?!
Yi-ron: I intended to finish Ishin, so I rushed into a volley without realizing that I didn’t have the BULLETS to do such a thing.
(Sfx- UOOOOH!!)
Hasegawa: And Ishin got you?
Yi-Ron: No…As I said..
I lost my BULLETS for it.
Hasegawa: YOU REALLY ARE FRIGGIN CLUMSY!!
(TN- Tama can mean balls…or bullets. Guess which one Yi-ron means.)
(Sfx- Gohh *Thuud*)
Yi-ron: S—sorry. At this rate I won’t be able to kill you after all.
Hasegawa: THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!
Yi-ron: I can no longer use a Sniper’s tools…
(Handwritten- Eh? Is it already over?)
Hasegawa: WAIT, THAT AGAIN?! YOU’RE BACK IN THAT ROLE?!
Yi-Ron: But…
That’s fine. Even with balls I wouldn’t have been able to shoot him.
One shot Ishin…
Truly is low-down…
Cause in the middle of an assassination attempt he still allowed his enemy to see that side of him.
Do you want to know why Ishin is after our boss?
It’s because the space merchant Choukyuukai is a merchant he does trades throughout the universe on a national level.
That kind of absolute power comes with the shadows of contempt….the reason?
It’s because he deals with the slave trade…

014
Yi-ron: That’s right, he doesn’t sell things, but actual humans.
And within his human cargo…
Was the newly-orphaned-at-the-time Ishin and his little sister.
He took a reprehensible path to get where he is…
But he didn’t become an assassin by choice…nor does he consider himself one…the path he took is one not to kill people…
But to save his little sister…
He’s come here as an older brother.
Can you tell him something?
Even us assassins have our duty…our way of doing things.
???: Have you used up all the bullets you intended to fire?
(Sfx- Gachaaa *clack*)
Yi-ron: If it’s a bullet to blow the brains out of a low down bastard..
Then I have plenty right here!!

015
(Sfx- Don don pan pan *blaaam blam blaam*)
{Forget about low down bastards…}
{You guys are blowing my brains out dammittt!!}
{Just when….when…}
{WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO DIE?!}
{I’ve friggin had enough of this!! I can’t take it anymore!!}
{At this rate, I’m better off just jumping off the damn building myself!!}
{This time….This time…}
{I’ll die….}
(Sfx- Bayaaan *slam*)
Ishin: ….We were bought by those bastards…
I was 8 years old and my little sister was three.
I was sold before her…I abandoned her.
But despite that I knew my sister was alive somewhere as a slave on some planet.
As her brother I intended to buy her back…
But then I ended up riding along with the same bastards I wanted a piece of and doing this kind of dirty work.
It’s messed up ain’t it? It’s been 20 long years.
I’ve changed the way I look, and even thrown away my name…

016
Ishin: In order to restore our bond as siblings…
To reunite with each other…
No more bullets to use on me?
Ichiko, you’ve never had a thing like bullets in the first place.
(TN- Full CIRCLE bitches. Also, Sorachi gave us lesibian scenes. :3)
Piggywho’snameistoolong.: Yi-ron, I thought I smelled the stank of your big brother around here…
And from the start I figured he’d betray me.
I figured I’d get me a nice front row seat to you siblings shooting holes in each other.
But if you guys really can’t do THAT much, then I guess I’ll help out.
Ishin…will you die?
Or will your baby sister die?
Go on, choose one.
Ishin: Ichiko…
You were like that in the old days too.
You’d try dressing like a guy and playing with the rest of us boys.
(Sfx- Bishhhaaah *blisssh*)
Ichiko: Waaah! That’s mean Ichirou-nii!
Mine won’t squirt any water!

017
Ishin: Hahahah! I’ve already said it…
You always squirted too soon….
And lost all your ammo ahead of time.
Ichiko: Brother you’re so mean! You always get to win!
How am I supposed to beat you!?
Ishin: That’s…
Obvious ain’t it?
You have to do it…
In one shot.
???: No way…that guy’s…
Gonna shoot his sister to get to me?!
Ishin: Too bad buddy…
My one shot is….

018
Ishin: Already been discharged.
Piggy: B—
Bastaaaard….
Hasegawa: It…
DO IT!!
IF YOU’RE GONNA KILL ME…
FRIGGIN KILL ME DEAD!!
(Sfx- Dogooohhh *THUUUUD*)

019
(Sfx- Doooon *THOOOM*)
(Sfx- GOoohh *Thuuuud*)
(Sfx- Gagaaaahh *SHEEEN*)
(Sfx- Para para *clatter clatter*)
(Sfx- Haaaah….)
Hasegawa: I knew it…
(Handwritten- I CAN’T FRIGGIN DIEEEEEE!//CAN’T FRIGGIN DIEEEE//FRIGGIN DIEEEE//DIIIIIEEE)
Ishin: Hmph…
I guess those wings….
Really did sprout huh?
(Handwritten- Madao reborn!!)
