As far as I can tell, it's a little more censored compared to the Japanese. ;) <br /><br /><br />P1<br />Side Text:The shinsengumi's Horrible Toilet Incident<br />Middle Text:The Shinsengumi's cleaning roster!<br /><br />Alright, men ---<br />Now for your duties of the week.The third unit is responsible for the dojo.The second unit,the kitchen.<br /><br />The fifth unit will wash the the patrol cars.<br /><br />And the first unit,<br />the toilet.<br /><br />P2<br />UWAAH!<br />Oh my God -- this shit is disgusting!<br /><br />Dammit, am I supposed to be staring at this freaking urinal the whole week?<br />I can't handle it!<br /><br />Oh Shit! It sprayed on my face,<br />God Help me!<br /><br />We're almost done, let's just finish this and piss off!<br />That's not allowed!<br /><br />We have to fully appreciate the meaning of cleaniness.<br />...have you heard this fact?<br /><br />In a corrupted and crime-ridden city, after the people cleaned up the graffiti from their subway trains,<br />The vandals disappeared and the crime rate dropped.<br /><br />DO you understand? A dirty environment can even stain the soul of a person.<br />A healthy soul can only be nurtured in a healthy spcae!<br /><br />P3<br />To maintain the cleaniness of our enviroment<br />is also the noble duty of the Shinsengumi!<br /><br />wow, Seizou-san<br /><br />Kumanaku Seizou, you transferred here after the reshuffling, <br /><br />But your reputation has already spread:For both your character and passion for cleaniness!<br /><br />Listen everyone! We want to clean it til its good enough to eat off the floor! That's our attitude!<br />EVeryone put your backs into cleaning the urinal assigned to you!<br /><br />Yes! 1,2!<br />1,2!<br /><br />Well guys?, do you feel the darkness in your soul being scrubbed away together with the grime in the urinal?<br />Truly, cleaning our environment is really cleaning our hearts and minds.<br /><br />True indeed!<br />I feel my soul becoming lighter!<br /><br />P4<br />1,2<br />1,2<br />Heh--cleaning can be amusing too.<br /><br />Leader...where are you scrubbing?<br />No, I noticed something dirty stuck on your forehead!<br />No, that's my mole.<br /><br />But look, it already came off.<br />Gaaah! What did you do?<br /><br />Was it a mole? Then I'm really sorry.<br />Why the heck did you scrub my face for no reason?!<br /><br />Oh my MOOOLLLEE!!<br />lets take off while they're distracted! <br /><br />P5<br />Stop right there!<br />We're not done yet!!<br /><br />Hey, Stop it!!<br /><br />My, my...they all took off.<br />These losers are incorrigible.<br />So? Shall we leave, too?<br /><br />Leader...<br />Even for a male-only barracks, our situation is atrocious!<br />No one cares about using a clean toilet,<br />No one cares about cleaning the toilet,<br /><br />Splashing out of the urinal while pissing is an everyday occurence!<br />They don't even wash their hands!<br /><br />Germs get carried all over from their boots, they go contaminating everything with filthy fingers.<br />The virus spreads explosively!<br /><br />P6<br />These barracks have already become...<br />Ground Zero for germs!<br /><br />It won't be long until the the SOUL of the shinsengumi will also be... <br />CONTAMINATED by the germs growing in this very toilet!<br /><br />We have to change all this<br />Starting from here.<br /><br />Yes,starting from this small detail,we will transform the shinsengumi!<br />This is the revolution of the toilet!<br /><br />Side-text:<br />The 108 Reading <br />Cleaning the urinal is cleaning the soul<br />Hideaki Sorachi<br /><br />Center text:<br />The riot begins:<br />My revolution!<br /><br />P7<br />What?<br />You want to renovate the toilets?<br /><br />Yes,it's a proposal by Kumaku Seizou from unit one.<br />He insists that at the very least we change the taps from manual to sensor.<br /><br />We don't have the time nor the money to waste on such trivaltry<br />If you have the time to do this, why don't you clean clean out all the joui rebels in Edo instead?<br /><br />....<br />Allow me to ask you something, vice-captain<br />Do you wash your hands after using the toilet?<br /><br />Huh?<br />Wash my hands?<br />Why should I wash my hands? How did I dirty my hands by going to the toilet?<br /><br />What's the big deal? If I don't do it, I'd just feel a little nasty,that's all.<br />We can speak bluntly here... you have definately touched something dirty.<br />And what is that? What have I touched? WHat's so dirty?<br /><br /><br />P8<br />...WHat.... <br />Do you mean my dick?<br /><br />EXACTLY!!<br />No matter how we use the toilet, we have to touch the dirty thing that grows between our legs,the dick!!<br /><br />In other words, washing our hands is the all important ritual <br />that keeps our dicks healthy and allows it to live another day!<br />Yet--!! Have you noyiced that in the shinsengumi this important ritual does not happen?!<br /><br />Lsten up! We shall call the germs that stick on our hands when we touch our dicks staphylococci bacteria!<br />When you go to the toilet, you vice-captain, are touching your dick.<br />Hey don't make it sound like I'm pickihg up a girl.<br />(TN: Staphylococci = sphere-shaped)<br /><br />You should wash off the stapyloccoccus on your hands so You, vice captain, reach for the tap<br />and wash away all the staphylococci.<br /><br />Yes, at that moment your hadns are clean!! But...<br /><br />P9<br />However!! <br />Please think again, try to remember!<br />In order to wash away the staphylococci, what have you just done?<br />Hey, you sound like you're ordering me around.<br /><br />Exactly!! When you reached to turn on the tap, you've contaminated the handle with bacteria!<br />There's a mountain of bacteria on the tap!!<br /><br />Next, what are you doing with your newly washed hands?<br />In order to turn off the tap, you have to touch the bacteria infested handle.<br /><br />Vice-captain--!! In the end,<br />you will be consumed by the staphylococci bacteria!!<br /><br />Don't talk like that! Why just me?<br />According to your theory, shouldn't you two bastards be overcome as well?<br /><br />Sorry, Hijikata, I never wash my hands before leaving.<br />Then shouldn't you be instantly killed by the staph?<br /><br />P10<br />Do you understand now, vice-captain? The shinsengumi is a breeding ground for staphylococci bacteria.<br />The only way to change this is to switch from manual taps to sensor taps.<br /><br />You think too much.<br />If we had to worry about every little thing, we won't be able to live.<br /><br />What a waste of my time-<br />Vice-captain!<br /><br />!<br />We're having some roasted yams!<br />Care to join us?<br /><br />P11<br />GAAAAAHHH!!<br />OW!<br /><br />What the hell was that?<br />So you can see it now...the staphylococci.<br /><br />Are the staphylococci for real?<br />!!<br /><br />No kidding! They're everywhere...<br />This...this is<br /><br />Hey, Toshi, what're you waiting for?<br /><br />C'mon and try some.<br />Hey Sougo, Seizou, would you like some, too?<br /><br /><br />P12<br />Hey Kondo's....kondo's staphylococci...the amount is unreal!<br />That's because he keeps touching his dick, even the eggs have mutated.<br />That's no longer Kondo, but a giant coccus.<br /><br />Dammit...the only way to heal thse guys<br />is the toilet revolution.<br /><br />even though we've decided to change over to a sensor type washbasin,<br />We still have problems.<br /><br />Look at this floor,<br />We just washed it earlier, and now its like this...Forget about spray, the design of this urinal causes everything to splash out!<br /><br />P13<br />It looks serious.<br />I think it's caused by a bunch of guys using the toilet at the same time.<br />Once they start chatting, they don't pay attention and the piss ends up everywhere.<br /><br />First, we have to prevent too many people from visiting the toilet together.<br />Leave it to me, I'll add it to the regulations.<br />But even for one person alone, we can't be sure...<br /><br />Hey I've got an idea, why not leave some grime on the urinals first?<br />Think about it, when you use the commode,<br /><br />Sometimes when you see some spots in there, don't you try to aim for it?<br />WE can make use of this psychology to get the guys to aim properly.<br /><br />Hijiakata has just exposed a weird facet of his personality without feeling any embarrassment.<br />Has he been doing that all along?<br /><br />.....no, I've never done it,just heard about it<br />Actually, I think its a good idea.<br /><br />Okay, how about his spot.<br />Huh? what's that, sougo?<br /><br />P14<br />That's the mole from my head!<br />Eh, sorry about that, I've kept it handy after I cleaned it off your face.I knew it'd come in useful.<br />What?! Useful?! Do you intend to let one person aim at another's mole?<br />Oh,Sorry.<br />And why did you even scrub my face win the first place, how can you treat my body like that?!<br /><br />hurry up, will ya? Just use anything,<br />anything dirty will do.<br /><br />Alright, alright.Let's use this,then...<br />What do you mean by this?!<br /><br />This is the dirt of the shinsengumi<br />What's dirty is your mind, you bastard!! Take it off right now!<br />Oi, someone's coming. everyone hide!<br /><br />...lets see what the result is.<br />Are you kidding? As if we'd get a result?!<br />ah, he left.<br /><br /><br />P15<br />Aww, it failed.<br />I say.<br /><br />Piss is everywhere-<br />WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!<br /><br />The result was too successful.Or maybe they hated the photo too much.<br />His piss drilled a hole into the photo.<br />What kind of piss was that?!How could anyone hate me so much?!<br /><br />we wanted to make <br />this place cleaner but instead it got even worse.<br />And that guy didn’t even notice the dirt. HOw about we <br />reverse the way we look <br />at this.<br /><br />instead of thinking: only aim within the urinal,<br />we want to think: you can’t aim anywhere outside the urinal.<br /><br />we want to create the scene in which the man cannot allow anything to splash onto <br />the floor.<br />And what kind of scenario is that?<br />gah,someone’s already here!<br /><br />P16<br />AAAh, that felt good...<br /><br />Ha...haha.<br />You...you're awesome, you know that?<br />Aww thanks...you rock.<br /><br />How many years has it been since the last time I lay down and wached the sky?<br />The sky...looks so vast..oh yeah...<br />Ossu, it worked!<br /><br />How can anyone go to the toilet like this?<br />UWaAH<br /><br />P17<br />No one's going to interrupt a moment of bonding between two friends.<br />It's not going to work! This will only drive people nuts!<br />Anyway, don't tell me you're going to re-enact this highly unfinished sketch everytime someone enters the toilet?!<br /><br />Well how about this?<br />We can put plastic bags behind these holes in the wood, so when we stick our dicks in...<br />WHAT THE FUCK?!<br /><br />How many people do you think will stick their dicks into those holes, that's the most unhygenic thing I can imagine!<br />Don't get so worked up now, I'll just draw some female faces here so that people don't get annoyed.<br /><br />Oh...My...Gosh!! You're turning it into something different!<br /><br />You're sick in both the mind and heart! Kumanaku, you tell him...<br />The hole has to be bigger.<br />What are you thinking?!Dammit, knock it off right now!<br /><br />Whoa, someone's coming- Quick, let's hide!<br /><br />P18<br />Its too quiet,<br />What's going on?<br />You think the guy left already?<br />Yeah, let's take a look.<br /><br />P19<br />I can't...<br />pull it out.<br /><br />Text:<br />The revolution <br />...failed...<br /><br />Thanks for reading!:amuse <br />I've already finished the scanlation, it should be released sometime tomorrow. :D Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:59:53 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/silver_sea/releases/2409 http://mangahelpers.com/t/silver_sea/releases/2408 A couple of days ago, I realized that between UraKaiScans, MangaSearcher and Yorozuya, we have the whole of Vol 11 complete - except for this chapter. So that's why it's here. :D <br /><br /><strong><span style="color:Navy">UraKaiScans will release the full volume on Halloween's Day, so watch for it. </span></strong>:nuts<br />It will contain 3 unreleased chapters: Chp 86, 87( by Bomber D Rufi) and chp 88.<br /><br /><strong>Page 1</strong><br />A greeting card aimed at my colleagues, the editors of Japanese Shonen Jump.<br />(Thank you for continued guidance and support in the new year!)<br /><strong><br />Page 2</strong><br />You don’t need a guidebook for romance.<br /><br /><strong>Page 3</strong><br />Be sure to choose the appropriate subject matter for comedy.<br /><br /><strong>Page 4</strong><br />Prologue<br /><br />After saving a cat-eared girl from being hassled by a drunken man on the tram, Shinpachi went through certain events before meeting up with her.<br /><br />…. … Okay, will that do?<br /><br />What do you mean by “certain events”. Could be more specific and tell the audience why we're following him?<br /><br />Well…Shinpachi never told me the reason, so I’m not too clear.<br /><br />I’ve never heard a prologue as vague as that.<br /><br />I’m already tired, if you couldn’t tell.<br /><br />Don’t say that you’re tired<br /><br />Sister, a wuss like him isn’t up to the job. Let me take over.<br /><br />The cake was delicious.<br /><br />That’s your personal opinion.<br /><br />Food, that’s all that you lot care about!<br /><br />But the cake was really delicious.<br /><br />That’s enough, I’m taking it from here.<br /><br /><strong>Page 5</strong><br />Samurai country.<br /><br />That’s what our nation used to be called.<br /><br />Hey, which page are you at? Do you know how many tankobons we’ve already released?<br /><br />I’m just refreshing according to sequence.<br /><br />Just be quiet!<br /><br />No, you’re the one who should be quiet.<br /><br />What are those people doing?<br /><br />Huh?<br /><br />Shinpachi-san.<br /><br />That’s your eye…Shinpachi-san.<br /><br />Oh God it’s hot!<br /><br />Oh no! I’m so sorry, could I have a napkin?!<br /><br />Are you okay? What came over you?<br /><br />You didn’t get scalded, did you?<br /><br />No, it doesn’t matter.<br /><strong><br />Page 6</strong><br />Your sincere gaze, <br /><br />has ignited a fire in my heart!<br /><br />Dammit, its not fair! Why does such a cute girl like her have to ornament herself with kawaii things?!<br /><br />In a sense, those things are weapons.<br /><br />In another sense… I am also a weapon.<br /><br />(Harlequin books)<br /><br />Bro, I can finally understand why you went crazy over those cat ears! Cat ears are Awesome! BANZAI to cat ears !!<br /><br />I’m such an ignorant bastard, I’m the one who deserved to be thrashed.<br /><br />A scumbag like me isn’t even worthy of sitting here…<br /><br />Hey, Shinpachi-san<br /><br />I’m really grateful to you for earlier.<br /><br />I never expected you to agree to this meeting.<br /><br />I just had to thank you in person.<br />“ Dribble dribble”<br /><br />But I didn’t really mean to just say it, I meant to…<br /><br /><strong>Page 7</strong><br />Hey, that’s your eye…<br /><br />What? Oh snap! What on earth was I thinking?<br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />I don’t know what came over me!<br /><br />Weird, I’m feeling so awkward and my heart’s racing.<br /><br />Hehe<br /><br />(female psychology)<br /><br />Stop it! Stop making such adorable gestures!<br /><br />(What’s gotten into both of you?)<br /><br />Like a chiropractor, you’ve pressed all the right spots!<br /><br />I’m so glad you wore those cat ears I gave you.<br /><br />I chose them specially for you.<br /><br />It’s been my dream to stroll down the streets with my boyfriend wearing matching outfits.<br /><br />Ooops! I’ve let it slip out…<br /><br />(What the-? Control yourselves, ladies.)<br /><br /><strong>Page 8</strong><br />What the heck was that about…that girl is getting on my nerves!<br />What am I supposed to do now? What should I do?!<br /><br />I feel something black clogging my heart!<br />Get that black stuff outta me now!<br />(Ow you’re killing me!)<br /><br />No worries. We’re just walking together, right? No big deal…<br /><br />So… shall we go now?<br /><br />Really? Do you mean you agree?<br /><br />Oh my god, I finally found the courage to do it.<br /><br />Why is my vision clouding up?<br /><br />You should just stay blind for the rest of your life!<br />Ow Ow Ow!<br />What’s that gotta do with me! You should take it out on her!<br /><br />That hurts!<br />Wah<br />Wah<br /><br />Can I hold your hand?<br />EHH?<br /><br />Er…em…yeah sure!<br /><br /><strong>Page 9</strong><br />What’s this?<br /><br />Your wife figured she didn’t need a satyr for a husband.<br /><br />She said: that pansy is too weak to commit seppuku, so just allow him to end it with a bullet.<br /><br />That woman doesn’t understand me at all.<br /><br />Since I’m such a weakling who’d tremble at the slightest sound, <br /><br />How could I have the guts to do such a thing?<br /><br />I can’t stand your wriggling any longer, sir. Rather than live on in shame,<br /><br />Why don’t you just die honorably like a samurai?<br /><br />I know a lot of kids like you who yell seppuku over every silly little thing.<br /><br />But face the facts, life is not honorable. Real honor means having the strength to live on even after a shameful thing has happened.<br /><br /><strong>Page 10</strong><br />…did you have to be so dramatic?<br /><br />I just can’t watch that man…grovel any longer.<br /><br />Why?! Hijikata-san…<br /><br />Why are humans so…<br /><br />…did you have to be so dramatic?<br /><br />Why are you trying to make it look like I fired the gun? Why are you sweating? You make me feel sick!<br /><br />Help me, everyone! Hijikata…Hijikata’s gone crazy! I can’t stop him any more!<br /><br />That’s a lie! Stop this nonsense! I’m not the one who did it, don’t push the blame on me!<br /><br />My guidebook…<br /><br />I can’t find it anywhere<br /><br />Since the day I got framed for sexual harassment,<br /><br />My police guidebook went missing along with my wallet.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br /><strong>Page 11</strong><br />We look like we’re going out.<br /><br />I’m not only holding hands with her, my hearts beating wildly.<br /><br />Without realizing it,<br /><br />Have we wandered somewhere inappropriate?<br /><br />Now everyone’s going to think that I’m up to no good.<br /><br />Um Aitorishi-chan, this alleyway is kinda boring<br /><br />Shall we head in a different direction? The main road’s much better…<br /><br />Shinpachi-san. I’ve been so nervous that I feel drained now. <br /><br />Can we stop and rest up for a bit?<br /><br />That hotel doesn’t look expensive. Can we go there?<br /><br /><strong>Page 12</strong><br />Is she for real?<br /><br />Im-impossible?! How can I suddenly feel this way?<br />(Oops…I’m let it slip out!)<br /><br />But we’ve only just met each other…is this the kind of feeling I’m supposed to have?<br /><br />Just seconds after opening the door – and we’re there?<br /><br />I’ve heard a lot about the slack morality of the youth nowadays.<br /><br />This is as bad as the chaotic times of war!<br /><br />No! I can’t do this! Even though doing it with such a cute girl would be awesome…<br /><br />But I’m still underage! And this is a shonen manga! If I start doing stuff like this from the first chapter, what are the chances of Gintama being adapted into anime?! All my hard work would’ve been for nothing!<br /><br />Huh?<br /><br />But I just said that! Where am I now?<br /><br />This is bad, this can’t happen! I’ve gotta stop…<br /><br />Em…your it’s your turn.<br /><br />I’ll…be waiting for you in bed…<br /><br />until forever.<br /><br /><strong>Page 13</strong><br />Who cares if Gintama will be adapted into an anime!!<br /><br />I’ve reached the point of no return! If I let a chance like this get away, I’d be humiliated for life!<br /><br />So what if this is a shonen manga. They’ve got techniques of drawing that can hide everything !<br /><br />Relax. Everything is under control.<br /><br />I, Shimura Shinpachi, a boy.<br /><br />Shall now be transformed into a MAN.<br /><br />Give me the cheapest room.<br /><br />No! I want that one with the rotating bed!<br /><br />That expensive room? You’ve gotta be joking. Just spin around yourself.<br /><br />What’s that supposed to mean?<br /><br />Er, sir, we provide accessories too. Would you like some candles or perhaps a whip?<br /><br /><strong>Page 14</strong><br />I’d like a missile please. <br />I’d like to blow up the girl pretending to be cute.<br />Oh sorry, you don’t provide missiles here.<br /><br />Hey, stop talking nonsense!<br /><br />I’m sorry, the missile she’s referring to is mine, although I would describe it as a vibration canon!<br /><br />By any chance, did you notice a pair of teenagers wearing cat ears check in here?<br /><br />Sorry, I’m not at liberty to disclose such details.<br /><br />But uh, could you please make arrangements for that first?<br /><br />I suppose you’re the ones who brought her here?<br /><br />This place is adults-only, you know<br /><br />That’s why I hate adults!<br /><br />Dirty minded! Shameless! Fornicators!<br /><br />I hate daddy the most!<br /><br />So what’s going on here?<br /><br />Eh?<br /><br />Hey that’s -<br /><br /><strong>Page 15</strong><br />Eh?<br />Aitorishi-chan? <br /><br />Hey, where’d she go?<br /><br />Huh?<br /><br />This card….<br /><br />How the heck did you end up with this card!<br /><br />What’s so funny?! The whole thing was set up to make me look like a sex offender!<br /><br />At the start, I was drinking alone in the bar. Then a girl walked up and started flirting with me. <br /><br />She was a good conversationalist, almost like a mind-reader, and soon I was telling her my life story.<br /><br />She told me about this amazing place that I just had to check out,<br /><br />So I eagerly got on the tram with her.<br /><strong><br />Page 16</strong><br />When I regained consciousness, I had been branded as a pervert.<br /><br />My police guidebook and wallet had disappeared, replaced by this card.<br /><br />Your heart and your wallet have been stolen by me.<br />Catseye the demon thief<br />Smooch!<br /><br />Imagine that! I had gotten conned - at my age!<br />But let me make a disclaimer: my heart was not stolen.<br />My heart had already been stolen by my wife thirty years ago.<br /><br />AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!<br /><br />Stop right there ----! <br /><br />You dirty brat ---!<br /><strong><br />Page 17</strong><br />Didn’t I tell you…<br />To stop right there?!<br />(thonk)<br />HAHAHHAHAHAHAH<br /><br />Are you related to that boy? Are you his big brother?<br /><br />Did you follow us because you were worried about him? You should see how retarded you look right now! <br /><br />Don’t worry. I didn’t lay a finger on him<br /><br />His purity is still intact.<br />( Lady, your underwear is showing)<br /><br />I’m only after love, I’m the stealer of hearts. I’m Catseye the demon thief <br /><br /><strong>Page 18</strong><br />The most beautiful thing in this world is love. I have no interest in money or jewels.<br /><br />But love is invisible, so I have to take the wallets of men, as proof that I have robbed their hearts.<br /><br />shinpachi’s wallet?<br /><br />What kind of excuses are those? Aren’t you just a thief?<br /><br />Your brother’s classic. How can naïve kids like that still exist?<br /><br />He was so gullible that he actually put on those cats ears after a bit of teasing.That just killed me!<br /><br />I inadvertently felt the sweetness of puppy love!<br /><br />Because of that, I could not resist robbing from him.<br /><br />Hey, do you mind not pretending to be cute?<br /><br />Even though I personally enjoy it .<br /><br />Guys are so stupid. They judge everything by appearance.<br /><br />“ooops… I let that slip out “ Silly me!<br /><br />Yaddayaddayadda<br /><br />You’re too noisy<br /><br /><strong>Page 19</strong><br />Have you lost control of your anal sphincter?!<br />Quit your verbal diarrhea!<br /><br />Hehe… a woman who talks behind a mask is always hiding something bad.<br />Hehe!<br /><br />Take that ---<br /><br />Wow…, how true.<br />Uwah!<br /><br /><strong>Page 20</strong><br />Shinpachi<br /><br />Stop picking on her!<br /><br />…. Don’t people say that your beloved will steal your heart?<br /><br />Just let it go guys, I’m not mad at her.<br /><br />…in fact, I’m very grateful to her<br /><br />Because even if for a brief moment, she allowed me to feel the bliss of having a girlfriend.<br /><br />So please let me take this chance to say to her…<br /><br /><strong>Page 21</strong><br />That was fake, you retard!<br />( awesome, cool!)<br /><br />Romance….<br /><br />Even a tragic romance can allow a person to grow.<br /><br />I will be stronger in the future.<br /><br />Small things don’t have the power to affect me anymore.<br /><br />My heart has developed an inner strength.<br /><br />A woman is not attractive because of superficial things like acting cute and wearing cat’s ears.<br /><br />But because of what lies deep inside.<br /><br />Hey, turn down the volume,guys!

Everywhere's covered in snow. <br /><br />Frame2, Otose<br />- People huddle in the streets with miserable faces…<br />- For shame! <br /><br />Frame3, Otose<br />Right<br />-If rain falls from the sky we shall play in the water,<br />-if guns fall from the sky we shall have a bamboo dance!<br /><br />Left<br />-In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we never forget to enjoy the simple pleasures! That’s the style of the children of Edo… <br />-That’s why…<br /><strong>In the hustle and bustle of daily live, we never forget to enjoy the simple pleasures. That's the nature of the children in Edo...<br /><br /><br />PAGE3<br />Frame1, Otose<br />I have organized the very first Big and Shiny Kabuki-cho Grand Snow Festival!!<br /><br />Frame2, Otose<br />-It's just a snowstorm, so what’s the big deal?<br />-It’s not that easy to cover Edo in the color of white! We shall use our neon lights to stain Edo in all the colors of the rainbow!<br /><br />TN: Kabuki-cho is the entertainment district of Edo, also a red-light district…<br /><br />Frame3, Otose<br />-In this pleasure-loving city, another festival is born!!<br /><br />Frame4, Shinpachi<br />-Gin-san,<br /><br />PAGE4<br />Frame1<br />Shinpachi: I’ve brought the snow.<br />Gintoki: Eh, put it there.<br />-Wow, everyone’s putting out impressive pieces, just look at those ones… <br />-And we can even engrave our shop name in the snow, pretty good for advertising. <br /><br />Frame2, Gintoki<br />-However this is indeed a street in the pleasure district...<br />-The subjects are all seductive …Although this shows the true character of Kabuki-cho.<br /><br />Frame3<br />Shinpachi: So, what are we making for Yorozuya?<br />Gintoki: Well, it's this baby right here.<br />-The next thing we need to do is fix a pole down the middle of this...<br /><br />Frame4, Shinpachi<br />-Do you intend our anime to get taken off the air!!<br /><br />PAGE5<br />Frame1<br />Hey, hey! What'd you do that for, you little bastard? Do you know how much time I spent making that ball?<br />-Shinpachi: I can't help but wonder what's going on in that mind of yours. You don't HAVE to cater to the disgusting tastes of the people around here, you know...<br />Kagura: Gin-san, I’ve finished making the pole.<br />Shinpachi: Gahhh!! What are you carrying, Miss Kagura?!<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: What's the matter, Shinipachi? You mistaking this thing for something else? <br />-This happens to be the &quot;Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon&quot;, y'know. <br />Shinpachi: Whatever! You repeated the word &quot;Armstrong&quot;! How could a canon possibly look as wrong as that? <br /><br />Frame3<br />Gintoki: All you care about is anime! It's always &quot;anime this, anime that&quot;. You're too sensitive. You're over-reacting.<br />-Tch, just because you're going through puberty, you get your brain flooded with hormones, and once you see a pole and two balls, you immediately start associating it with THAT.<br />-I'm hard at work here, if you couldn't tell. So can you not talk to me?<br /><br />Shinpachi: I was just pointing out how suspicious it looks. If it's not THAT, then what IS it?<br /><br />Frame4, Madao<br />Hello there! Look who’s here! You guys came for the festival, too?<br /><strong>Well look at who's here! You guys came for the festival, too?<br /><br />Shinpachi: Ah, Uncle Hasegawa, help me stop these two from messing around, would you?<br /><br />Frame5<br />Madao: Let me see... Isn’t this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon? It’s very well detailed.<br />(Bottom right)Shipachi: Whhhhhhat? How did you know about this thing?! Is there really such a canon in existence? Am I the only one who doesn't know about it? <br /><br />Gintoki: This is the ultimate weapon that was used by the Inuit tribe to smash Edo’s Tenshou Tower and forced Japan to open our country.<br /><br />TN: Obvious phonetic equivalent of the Inuit people, the Eskimos indigenous to the far north of Canada and Alaska. <br /><br />P13<br /><br />(bottom left) Shinpachi: What? Our country was defeated by such an ugly canon?<br /><br />PAGE6<br />Frame1<br />Gintoki: Well, how about you? Why are you in a place like this?<br />Madao: Ah, well, I came here with a sculpture to enter in the festival. If I'm not wrong, there's a reward for the best sculpture on display. <br /><br />Frame2, Shinpachi<br />-WOAAAH!<br />-What is that thing?! I have no idea how you created it, but it's simply amazing! <br /><br />Frame3, Madao<br />You're too kind. it's but a modest work of art. <br />-I love art, so once I got into it, I just kept going until it was done.<br />-The title is “Flight”.<br /><br />Shinpachi: YA HA, it’s amazing! Isn’t this going to win the prize for best sculpture?<br /><strong>Shinpachi: Haha, it's amazing! You think this is going to win the prize for best sculpture? Or: Don't you think this is going to win the prize for best sculpture?<br /><br />Frame4<br />Gintoki: Yeah, It’s amazing. But this subject... Were you the model?<br />Madao: Eh? Oh, I must have poured too much passion into it. That's why it bears such a close resemblance to me. <br /><br />Frame5<br />Gintoki: But compared to you, aren't the muscles here too developed?<br />-I think it needs to have a little bit taken off about here. <br />Madao: Hey!! What do you think you're doing?! <br /><br />Frame6<br />Madao: Wait, just spare me will you? This pose is maintained by a very delicate balance, you know. Hey!<br />Gintoki: Ah, well this part does look a lot like yours.<br />(bottom right)Kagura: Hey, Uncle Madao, that part looks a lot like Uncle Madao’s thing!<br />(bottom left)Madao: Hey! No! You can’t point over there!! <br /><br /><br />PAGE7<br />Frame1<br />Gintoki: Dammit! How can you let our little sister Kagura see such a disgusting thing?!<br />Madao: Wait, wait, wait, its got artistic meaning. Think about it. You see a lot of nude paintings in art, right?<br /><br /><strong>Gintoki: Dammit! How could you let our little sister see such a disgusting thing?! OR: Dammit! How could you let Kagura see such a disgusting thing?!<br /><br />Gintoki: This is nothing but a criminal display of an offensive object.<br />Madao: Really? I believe the truly offensive object is what you were making. <br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: Dammit! How can you sabotage my road into the world of anime!<br /><br />Madao: Hey! Watch where you’re aiming that snowball! AHHHH!!<br /><br />Frame3<br />AHAHAHAH! My Lil’ Madao's broken off…<br /><br />Frame5<br />-Stuck…It's stuck on top!!<br /><br />PAGE8<br />Frame1, Yakuza<br />Do you wanna die?! Look at what you just stuck into our sculpture! <br /><br />Madao: UWAHH! They’re coming! Think of something!<br /><br />Frame2, Madao<br />-AHAHAHAH!!<br /><br />Frame3<br />-UWAHAHOOWAHHH!!<br /><br />Frame5<br />Text: &gt;Flight&lt; ( text is crossed out)<br />Hey, lady, ha ha!<br />There, this should do it…<br />Hey, lady, ha ha!<br /><br />Frame6<br />Otose: This piece is pretty good.<br />Madao: Ah, is it?<br /><br />PAGE9<br />Frame1<br />Shinpachi: You two are just too much... You did this on purpose, didn't you?<br />Gintoki: Of course not. If we let that kind of disgusting thing appear, our anime will be cancelled.<br />Shinpachi: But what you two are making is exactly the same.<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: Well, no matter how hard they work, the final victory will be ours.<br />Kagura: This is a great way to generate publicity for us! After this, we won't have to worry about running out of jobs. <br /><br />Frame3<br />Gintoki: Hey I just had a really great idea. Shall we stick on a pair of wings on him?<br />Kagura: Gin-san, you’re a genius. How did you come up with such a great idea?<br />Gintoki: Ahh... I don't know I came up with it either. It's just inspiration, y'know, inspiration. <br /><br />Katsura: Eh? You guys are here too?<br /><br />Frame4<br />Katsura: Let me guess, you're after the prize money, aren't you?<br />Shinpachi: Katsura-sensei<br /><br />Frame5<br />Katsura: Eh? Isn’t this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon? And it's pretty well detailed.<br />Shinpachi: How on earth did you know that?<br /><br />Left<br />Gintoki: Nicknamed “Shooting thunder”, it is hellish weapon that ignited the tragedy of the “7 days of Flame” in the Baergan Campaign.<br />Shinpachi: That's not what you said before. <br /><br />Frame6<br />Kagura: Zura, what are you doing here?<br />Katsura: I came here for my health, I have to relax too, sometimes.<br />-How 'bout it, Captain? Why don’t you come and play too?<br /><br />TN: Check out the 69th Reading to find out why she is the captain.<br /><br />PAGE10<br />Frame1, Shinpachi<br />-UWOWOWOWO!!<br />-Awesome!! You can even play in it!!<br /><br />Frame2, Katsura<br />-This sculpture was not born to satisfy my creative urge …<br />-Don’t you agree that it exists to bring joy to children?<br /><br />Frame3<br />Katsura: This is not just a sculpture: it is a gift to society, for the children who hold tomorrow in their hands. In order to link them to the future we have to straighten out the world.<br />Gintoki: Isn’t this just a slide? How did you drag in the Joi into it?<br />Katsura: I now am full of hope for the children who holds the keys of tomorrow. Feel free to use it how you please. <br /><br />Frame5<br />-Hey, Captain, that’s not the way you’re supposed…<br /><br />Frame6<br />-Is it like rock-climbing?<br /><br />Katsura: No, this is a slide.<br />-Don’t slide like that!!<br /><br />Frame7<br />Gintoki: Hey, Zura, where’re the stairs on this thing?<br />Katsura: You bastards, how much longer do you intend to climb? I can still see your footprints on the steps. <br /><br />PAGE11<br />Frame1, Katsura<br />-Ah, the slide is full of scars now.<br />-Here I come to smooth out your scars. If I don’t hurry…Eh?!<br /><br />Frame2<br />-OWOWOWOW!!<br /><br />Frame3, Katsura<br />-You bastards!<br />-Are you trying to get me to quit so you'll win? Don't think it's as easy as that! <br />AHAHAHAHAH!!<br /><br />PAGE12<br />Frame1<br />- AHAHAHAHAH!!<br /><br />Frame3<br />( Bubbles from left to right)<br />It's a bungee tower?<br />-It's not. I didn't hear anything about it having a bungee tower. <br />-Well, it's not exactly usual to make a tower like this, is it?<br />-That's why its got to be a bungee tower.<br />-Yeah, it looks dangerous. If kids were to fall off from there... That's why<br />-It can only be a bungee tower. <br /><br />Frame4<br />-…Eh, isn’t this brilliant?<br /><br />Frame5<br />-Are you a genius, or what? Would an ordinary person have thought about adding a slide up there?<br />- I dunno... The idea just struck me out of the blue.<br />Shinpachi: A sudden flash of inspiration? The anime's going to be scrapped for sure. <br />Sa-chan: Oh my…<br /><br /><br />Frame6<br />-Gin-san, You’re here, too... What a coincidence.<br />-I really didn't know Gin-san would be here too! ...Of course I didn't come here especially to see Gin-san... though I've done that before.<br />Shinpachi: No one’s listening to you, Miss Sa-chan.<br /><br />PAGE13<br />Frame1<br />Sa-chan: Oh my, isn’t this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon? It so detailed.<br />Shinpachi: This has got to be its original form! How did you know about it?!<br />Gintoki: In the galactic battle between the Tsezarn planet and Kashan planet, this weapon was the complete opposite of the Misseltor canon that led the Tsezarns to victory, it was the legendary weapon that remain stored in the warehouse.<br />Shinpachi: Whatever, man. You’re too long-winded!! // Thks pecology<br /><br />Frame2<br />-……does this mean that Miss Sa-chan has also made something?<br />- Eh, it's nothing special.<br /><br />Frame3<br />Shinpachi: ... Don't you think it's a little too obvious? You're the only one who would create such a thing... though I have to say, it's pretty good. <br />Sa-chan: No, of course it isn't Gin-san. This sculpture has no relationship to Shueisha and its author.<br /><br />Frame4<br />Kagura: I think there’s something wrong with it. Its leg is really long. Gin-san’s leg is much shorter.<br />Shipachi: Ahh, well, you've put a lot of imagination into it, even a bit of Fantasy.... But I guess it was too much of a bother to make the long legs? <br /><br />Frame5<br />Gintoki: I think this is excellent, it’s the spitting image.<br />-Heh, you think this'll win the grand prize? Even I can't bring myself to destroy it.<br />Sa-chan: Oh, Gin-san, are you lying? Are you actually complimenting me?<br />Gintoki: It doesn't matter if it's a compliment or not, I'm speaking from the heart. <br /><br />PAGE14<br />Frame1<br />Sa-chan: Originally I wanted the legs to be 15cm longer.<br />Gintoki: Oh my, no, leaving it like this instead, it's more realistic instead.<br />Shinpachi: You’ve said “instead” twice. Means you haven’t said anything.<br /><br />Frame2<br />How come the position the hands are in is so unnatural? <br />-Ah this?<br /><br /><br />Frame3<br />-It's because of this.<br />-This is the only way it could be complete. <br /><br />Frame4<br />SFX: tumble<br />-GYAAHHH!! What are you doing?<br /><br />Frame5<br />Sa-chan: Gin-san’s hand! I’ve got to glue it back on, quickly! Glue it back, quick!<br />-I’m so sorry, my glasses--<br /><br />Frame6<br />- I have to stick it back on, and fast! <br />Small Text: Hey, where are you going?<br /><br /><br />Frame7<br />SFX: Rub rub<br /><br />PAGE15<br />Frame2, Otae<br />-What are you<br /><br />Frame3<br />Otae: TRYING TO DO, YOU BIG PERVERT!!<br />Gin-san: Why IS IT ALWAYS ME?! <br /><br />Frame4<br />Otae: How strange…I don’t know why I felt molested by Gin-san, I’m so sorry.<br />Shinpachi: Big sister? Why are you here?<br />Otae: Ah, our shop has also put out a piece. I just came here to help out.<br /><strong>Otae: How strange... I don't know why I felt that I was being molested by Gin-san. I'm so sorry.<br /><br /><br />Frame5<br />Otae: Oh my my, isn’t this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon? It's very detailed.<br />Shinpachi: Wrong! It’s obviously NOT this one!<br />Otae: Its so silly and so crude, it’s the definitive Armstrong Canon.<br />Shinpachi”: What? What the heck is an Armstrong Canon? Seriously. <br /><br />Frame6<br />Otae: Forget about it, this is a rare opportunity. Come over here, Shinpachi-kun.<br />-Our entry took a lot of effort…<br /><br />PAGE16<br />Frame1<br />-What do you think?<br />-Impressive, isn’t it?<br /><br />Frame2<br />-We may have only girls in our shop, but we started making this early in the morning, once we got off from work.<br />-We have a slide and sculptures too--all the works. Of course, it's not as good as the others... <br /><br />Frame3, Otae<br />-But it’s too far-fetched to get the grand prize. Everyone’s work is so remarkable. How in the world did they create it?<br />-Right, how about Yorozuya? Did you guys come up with something?<br /><br />Frame4<br />Right Text: It’s too…<br />Left Text: It’s too embarrassing, I can’t say it<br />Gintoki: Er, That, it’s...y'know~<br />Kagura: Some…something like a mascot, y'know. <br />Otae: Oh, that means it's Sadaharu…<br />Shinpachi: Far from it. It's the epitome of a certain obscene object.<br />Otae: Huh? What? “The room, the shirt and me?” <br /><br /><br />PAGE17<br />Frame1<br />Right text: So what have we been doing up to now?<br />Left text: What “Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon” Isn’t just some obscene object?<br />Shinpachi: Ooops. You two have accidentally revealed the truth.<br /><br /><br />Frame2<br />Right text: That kind of thing, how can we even think about the grand prize, even the participation prize…<br /><br />Left text:……let's leave, before we totally look like idiots, let’s get out…<br />Otae: Hey where are you two going?<br />-C’mon, look over there, everyone’s spent a lot of effort.<br /><br />Frame3<br />-GYAHH!!<br />- What is that! Something weird on the sculpture.<br /><br />Frame5<br />Right text: That…<br />Left text: Isn’t that…<br /><br />Frame6<br />-HOHAHAHAHA! What grand prize?<br />-Once I destroy all the snow sculptures, there won't be anything to give the grand prize to! <br /><br />PAGE18<br />Frame1<br />It's made of snow, so they'll all melt eventually! <br />-So, disappear now!! All of you disappear now!<br /><br />Frame2<br />-GYAHHH! What are you trying to do, you perverts!!<br /><br />Frame3<br />Everyone, protect the sculptures! We must protect our hard work, sweat, and tears! <br /><br />Frame4<br />-Look at you! Stop wasting your time! You’ve even built a slide!<br />-Who wants to play on that kind of thing!!<br /><br />Frame5<br />-The only people living down these streets are dirty-minded old farts, and the little perverts that they've educated.<br />-What slide… it looks better like this, I prefer all the slides in the world to break now!!<br /><br />Frame6<br />-Ohh, everyone’s fighting. It's such a mess.<br />-Otae, what should we do? Looks like we have to give up on the grand prize now.<br /><br />Frame7<br />-Otae?<br />-Hang on, what are you doing?<br /><br />PAGE19<br />Frame1<br />- This isn't some kind of joke.

This is the last Kekkaishi for Urakai's &quot;latest arc&quot; scanlations. Our efforts will now all concentrate on vol7 and vol8. Goodbye &quot;Sen&quot;, hello &quot;Shishio&quot;! <br /><br /><br />PAGE1<br />Masamori: These are the legitimate successors of Karasumori of our time.<br />-I believe that you’ve already met them before arriving here.<br /><br />Masamori: The method that a legitimate successor is chosen,<br />-still seems completely random at the moment.<br /><br />Masamori: There have been no official records, but according to my investigation…<br />-A few generations may pass without a legitimate successor…<br /><br />Masamori: Or among brothers, there could be two legitimate successors<br />Sen: Really?<br /><br />PAGE2<br />Masamori: In other words, it is totally unaffected by quantity, necessity and time.<br />-The only fixed rule is that a “square birthmark” will appear on the chosen ones.<br /><br />Masamori: For the Sumimura, we have it on our right palm.<br />-For the Yukimura, they have it on their left breast…<br />-like this.<br /><br />Masamori: Another legend is that legitimate successors rarely ever die outside of Karasumori<br />- We feel our deep co-existence with the land from the past and the future.<br />- What I’ve just mentioned are all the key points.<br /><br />Masamori: When multiple successors appear at the same time…<br /><br />Masamori: There will be a clear difference between their abilities.<br /><br />Sen: And these abilities all came from Karasumori?<br />Masamori: Yes,<br />- but not every successor is born equal.<br /><br />PAGE3<br />Masamori: Back in my grandfather’s day, the Yukimuras had greater power.<br /><br />Masamori: In the following generation---<br />- I think there exists a power even greater than any from the past, in---<br /><br />Masamori: my younger brother…Yoshimori.<br /><br />Masamori: Your first goal is to find out how a legitimate successor is chosen.<br />-as well as how their lives are affected by the changes in the land.<br /><br />Sen: My first goal…<br />-does that mean I still have other goals in my mission…?<br /><br />Masamori: ……<br />- About the other goals…<br />- we can talk about them later…<br /><br />PAGE 4<br /><br />EVEN IF HE LOSES HIMSELF IN THE EXPECTIONS OF HIS LEADERS,<br />HE MUST COMPLETE HIS MISSION-----<br /><br />CHAPTER169 KAGEMIYA SEN<br />TANABE YELLOW<br /><br />PAGE5<br />Glasses: I still can’t believe he actually skipped the first day of school.<br />Small text: That transfer student.<br />Curly: You mean Kagemiya Sen<br />-Yoshimori, do you know him?<br /><br />PAGE6<br />Yoshimori: Yeah, you could say so…<br />- er?<br />- No, I guess I don’t really know him.<br />Curly: So which one is it?<br />- I was hoping I could get some news from you here.<br /><br />Curly: Forget it, I only collect information that can help my social life,<br />Small text: Favourite food: Squid<br />-But the most important things about him have been passed over.<br />-This guy seems to have some kind of back-story!<br /><br />Yoshimori: Back-story…?<br />Curly: Like how he stayed in various households,<br />-and was once sent to live with a relative.<br />Bubble: Isn’t that your own speculation…?<br /><br />Curly: Our group teacher * actually gave me a direct hit on my head. ( I’m not sure what they call the homeroom teacher / form teacher in Japan, so I put “group teacher” ^^;;; )<br />-Without even a single word, he hit my head with the attendance book.<br />-Therefore, that guy’s got to have some kind of back-story for sure.<br /><br />Curly: Just like Shishio back in the day, a transfer student with a back-story.<br />-Although their personalities ARE completely different… (CAPS=italics)<br />Yoshimori: Completely?<br /><br />Yoshimori: Ah…You think so…<br />-But I still think that there’s something similar about both of them…<br />Curly: Huh?<br />-Is it because they’re both wearing the school uniform?<br /><br />PAGE7<br />Fangirls: Be serious, stop teasing us---<br />Small text, L to R:<br />WAH, EEW!, really, really, we’re from the next class!

But remember never to use your power in the vicinity of the Kekkaishi.<br />-Keep your sessions short and sweet, don’t overload yourself.<br />-Stop immediately once you feel tired.<br />-And never do it if your own soul is disturbed.<br /><br />PAGE 12<br />Sensei: Another thing…<br />-When you use your power, you get “that look”.<br /><br />Sensei: You’ve got to correct this problem ASAP.<br /><br />Sen: Eh…But I’m half…<br />- I can’t help it if my body changes a bit when I use my power…<br />Sensei: It doesn’t work even when you reduce your power, huh?<br />-Still, no matter what, you’ve got to correct it.<br /><br />Sensei: It’s fine if you can read from afar.<br />-But you don’t have full psychic power, so there are limits…<br /><br />Sensei: Basically, you are only a receiver.<br />- What’s more, you can only read what your subject projects.<br />- So if they choose to project their dinner, you’re stuck.<br />Bubble: I guess he wants a flame grilled steak…?<br />Boxes L to R: Address? Name? Age? Family?<br /><br />Sensei: Those are the times<br />-when you need---<br /><br />PAGE 13<br />Sensei: Conversation<br /><br />Sensei: You start by asking questions---<br />- And, based on the information your subject projects,<br />- you probe.<br /><br />Sensei: You need eye contact in conversation, “that look” would be an obstacle.<br />- Understood?<br /><br />Sensei: In this mission you’d be in a school with lots of normal people, so take every chance to practice.<br />-ah<br />-You watch out for the Kekkaishi, alright?<br /><br />PAGE 14<br />Sensei: Sen<br /><br />Sensei: You’re lucky…<br />-because you were born with wonderful features.<br />-Make good use of them.<br /><br />Sensei: Subjects who are interested in you,<br />-Are very easy to read.<br /><br />Sen: Ah, I hate mathematics class<br />Girl: Ah, me too!<br />Girl2: Yes---<br />-That’s why you skipped out on your very first class?<br /><br />Sen: Hey, by any chance, do you girls know where Sumimura is?

And he hasn’t even mastered his 9 times table <br />-The girls in class don’t know he exists, the image I drew from their souls was all wrong!!<br /><br />Sen: I’m always hanging around him, observing him,<br />-But does that guy live in his own world!? He doesn’t seem the least bit concerned!!<br /><br />Sen: I can’t go on like this, I’m losing my motivation…<br />Sensei: Sen<br /><br />Sensei: You’re not allowed to make such a rash and superficial report to your Taicho, you know.<br /><br />Sen: ……!<br />-I understand…<br />Sensei: One more thing. Overcome your strange feeling of guilt.<br /><br />Sensei: Never give up on the mission.<br /><br />Sensei: Don’t get over-excited, this is only the beginning.<br /><br />PAGE 18<br />Sen: …<br />-**-sensei<br />-I also think that this is a good opportunity<br /><br />Sensei: Even though, I just took the chance to recommend you,<br />-I also hope to groom you into an elite.<br /><br />Sen: I UNDERSTAND.<br />-I will try my best to abandon all feelings of guilt.<br />-And I appreciate your guidance in the future.<br /><br />Sensei: Yes<br />-You have potential.<br /><br />Side text: It might not have been his intention to come here.

I’m a vegetarian, VEGETARIAN!!<br /><br />PAGE7<br />Frame 1<br />Gintoki: I’m not eating, I’m not eating, what freakin’ nabe<br />Kagura: Nobody wanted to eat it from the start, you animal<br />Text: THEY TOOK THE BAIT!!<br /><br />Frame2, Shinpachi<br />R: However, could have been too much of a good thing<br />L: If I don’t do something we might have to split and go home…<br /><br />Frame3, Shinpachi<br />Uh-oh…But I just said those words, how can I propose the re-opening of the nabe? It’s too unnatural. For starters, it’s too embarrassing<br /><br />Frame4, Gintoki<br />R------this is troublesome, I actually wanted to cool things down so I went along with Shinpachi’s suggestion.<br />L: But who knew that Kagura would refuse to eat as well…<br /><br />Frame 5, Gintoki<br />R: In this atmosphere, it’s too difficult to propose the re-opening of the nabe. That would make me feel so embarrassed I could crawl into a hole.<br />L: However, if I let this drag on, I can forget about eating today. Dammit, I haven’t tasted anything yet, if I don’t stop this situation…<br /><br />Frame6, Gintoki<br />R: “I want to eat meat” Say it, someone, anyone! I want to eat so badly I can’t take it anymore! Please sense this, Shinpachi! Sense it quickly and say something, I will give you 300 yen!<br />L: Who will say it! Please detect this quickly. I really want to eat meat. I’ve not known the taste of meat for over half a year! I think the case is the same for everyone. We are all calculating the same thing right now!! <br /><br />PAGE8<br />Frame1<br />SFX: GOOO~~~<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: Ah…Hey? Hey…Kagura What’s wrong? Are you hungry?<br />Shinpachi: Of course not, it’s a fart.<br />-No, no, that was a growl from the stomach. I wouldn’t have mistaken that. What’s wrong? Do you feel that hungry already?<br /><br />Frame3<br />Gintoki: If…if you are really that hungry, shall we eat then? I’m good at the moment, how about you guys?<br /><br />Shinpachi: Kagura-chan, its better not to force yourself. I’m also good for now.<br /><br />Frame4, Kagura<br />-…I AM hungry but that’s not a problem<br />-I can eat Sukonbu<br /><br />Frame5<br />Gintoki: YOU IDIOT---!!<br />Shinpachi: You’re still growing! Do you know what will happen to you if you eat that stuff all day instead of proper food!!<br /><br />Frame6<br />Shinpachi: C’mon, I’ll get rice for you<br />Kagura: Can I?<br />Gintoki: Yes, of course, of course, I bought it for you from the start. Now hurry up and eat up. Don’t space out or I’m going to kill someone<br /><br />Frame8<br />Gintoki: Iyaa, this is nice~ How about we join in as well? But I’m not really that keen to eat, what a pain.<br />Shinpachi: Isn’t it? Even though I’m not that attracted to the meat, it would be a shame to waste it.<br /><br />PAGE9<br />Frame 1, Shinpachi<br />-Phew<br />Text: …we have finally escaped from the stalemate<br /><br />Frame2, Shinpachi<br />R: However, it remains as difficult as before to get the meat<br />L: Because I said I didn’t want to eat sukiyaki, it would be impossible for me to reach out and put my chopsticks into the pot.<br /><br />Frame3<br />R: Whether it’s Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu or Genghis Khan Barbeque, whenever people gather around a pot to eat…<br />L: The first one…well, the first person to reach into the pot will definitely feel embarrassed.<br /><br />Frame4<br />R: That’s why, if I can scatter these feelings of shame, to play it smooth and naturally dip in my chopsticks<br />L: Then I can control the nabemono!<br /><br />Frame6<br />R: In one word, become the Nabe Shogun!!<br />L: In this battle, the one who controls the first hand is the winner!!<br /><br />Frame 7, Shinpachi<br />R: Right now, its actually Kagura-chan who is closest to the Nabe Shogun<br />L: Although she still hasn’t put her chopsticks into the pot, she has the very natural right to do so once she’s finished her noodles.<br /><br />Frame8, Gintoki<br />R: Even so…I don’t think that little girl will pose a threat. Just look at her face indulging in the texture of the noodles. A lot of silly girls her age would rather eat noodles than high fat food like meat anyway.<br />L: The problem is Shinpachi. He immediately saw through Kagura’s ploy and pretended to very naturally fill her bowl with rice…Not too shabby, Shinpachi<br /><br />PAGE10<br />Frame1:<br />TV: Ole~<br /><br />Frame2:<br />Kagura: Ah~ Kato-Ken is on Kōhaku again<br />Shinpachi: I thought his popularity dropped, but now he’s red-hot again after he made his HG image change.<br /><br />TN: Kōhaku ( lit. trans Red-White) is A special New Years Eve show aired by NHK TV station featuring a song battle between the &quot;Red&quot; for female vocals and &quot;White&quot; for male vocals.

Check out Gintama episode 30 to see Otsu admit to having a crush on Hard Gay.<br /><br />Frame4<br />Shinpachi: However, you know, <br />- For singers to appear on that show isn’t such a status symbol anymore, because…<br /><br />Frame5<br />Shinpachi: The first hand is mine!!<br /><br />PAGE11<br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: Oops<br />-How come the flame suddenly got smaller?<br /><br />Frame3 Shinpachi<br />-What the…<br /><br />Frame4, Gintoki<br />R: Shinpachi…<br />L: I’m the one to be…<br /><br />Frame5<br />R: NABE SHOGUN!<br /><br />Frame6, Gintoki<br />Eh, chopsticks…?<br /><br />Frame7, Gintoki<br />R: I didn’t expect<br />L: that in that split second…<br /><br />Frame8, shinpachi<br />ATTACK!!!!<br /><br />PAGE12<br />Frame 1, Kagura<br />ATCHOO<br /><br />Frame2<br />SFX: clatter<br /><br />Frame3, Kagura<br />-Ah, sorry<br />-I might have caught a chill~<br /><br />Frame 4, Shinpachi<br />R: What…<br />L: What did you say!?<br /><br />Frame5<br />R: Without using hands or chopsticks, just by sneezing…<br />L: Has the first hand been won?<br /><br />Frame6<br />R: Is there actually this ridiculous way… <br />L: to control the first hand!!<br /><br />PAGE13<br />Frame1<br />R: NO…<br />L: In truth, no one can eat a pot like that, SHE’s the only one who can touch it now<br /><br />Frame2<br />R: Such innocence…<br />L: Her pure and wholesome spirit guided her ….towards victory<br /><br />Frame3<br />R: NO…<br />L: THIS LITTLE WENCH…<br />Kagura: Ho ho ho<br /><br />Frame 4<br />R: Ho ho ho<br />L: The Nabe Shogun is, mademoiselle!<br /><br />Frame5<br />R: This little wench… is not F innocent!<br />L: Noodles are dangling from her nose!<br /><br />Frame6, Kagura<br />Ho ho ho ho. A new discovery, gentlemen? From the time my stomach growled to my chance to eat noodles, it had all been my acting…so I could trick you innocent babes to let down your guard and enable me to attain the title of Nabe Shogun…<br /><br />Frame7<br />R: Bite your fingers as you stare! Stare at how your precious beef is guzzled down by this little girl<br />Shinpachi: GYAHH<br /><br />PAGE14<br />Frame1<br />Otose: Hey guys, how come <br />-You started your meal without us?<br /><br />Frame2<br />Otose: That’s cold of you guys<br />-I told you to wait for us to finish work first<br />Catherine: I think it would be a miracle if they actually waited.<br /><br />Frame3, Kagura<br />-Ho ho. Sorry aunties, your plot to get the beef is foiled …<br /><br />Frame4, Otose<br />-Wait a minute you guys, how could you, this meat…<br />-Why are you still using pork for the nabemono?<br />- For goodness sake it’s New Years Eve. You’ll make people cry<br /><br />Frame 5, Kagura<br />PORK…<br /><br />Frame6, Kagura<br />PORK…PORK PORK PORK PORK<br />HOW CAN IT BE PORK!!!<br /><br />PAGE15, Kagura<br />Frame1<br />R: How…I don’t get it…How can it be pork…<br />Small text, Otose: Move it, this is my seat<br />L: Im… impossible…That definitely…definitely tasted like beef…Just like the beef in the beef bowl that we had before…<br /><br />Frame2<br />Don’t tell me…<br /><br />Frame4<br />R: Your suspicions are correct! Up til now what you have eaten at this table, what you thought was beef was entirely…<br />L: Cheap PORK!!<br /><br />Frame5<br />R: Did you think that a high quality meat like beef would end up on our table, little girl?<br />L: Even I don’t get to eat it!!<br /><br />Frame6<br />R: No…this is too much! My deeply held belief was a lie…<br />L: My life has been a work of fiction, holding no relationship with all real life characters and organizations. How can this be?<br /><br />Frame7<br />R: ------ At that moment, I felt an indescribable insecurity, as if the ground beneath my feet collapsed<br />L: I no longer believed anyone, No one can be trusted.

THANKS TO YOU!!<br /><br />PAGE3<br />Frame1,Reindeer: <br />-Write yourself off, you sick old man! Didn’t you agree to get off while we were going down the hill!!<br />- Its more like the sleigh was chasing me than me pulling the sleigh. My calf got hit and it’s bleeding a lot! It hurts! I’ve had enough of your attitude!<br /><br />Frame2, Santa Claus:<br />- Well all you had to do was to run faster than the sleigh! Aren’t you a goddam reindeer!! Huh!?<br />- Your dad was a pro at this! He could pull the sleigh going downhill at top speed! That’s what I call a reindeer!<br /><br />Frame3, <br />Reindeer: You seem to really admire my old man but let me tell you he was full of complaints when he came home!<br />Santa Claus: You can’t trick me! Carl and I are battle comrades, we’re beyond all that!<br />Reindeer: Yeah he did! His last words were “That guy’s beard is really brown.”<br /><br />Frame4, Santa Claus: <br />-You bastard! Why did you have to shout it out! I only dye it white during Christmas!! What’s the big deal!!<br />- BECAUSE OF YOU THE SECRET IS OUT!!<br /><br />Frame5, Gintoki: <br />-Hey hey, listen to me, listen to me.<br /><br />Frame6, Gintoki: <br />-Cool down you guys.<br />- OUCH!!<br />-You bastard, what are you doing!!<br /><br />PAGE4<br />The 99th Reading<br />THE PERSON WHO INSISTS ON SAYING “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SANTA CLAUS” IS REALLY THE ONE WHO WISHES THE MOST FOR SANTA CLAUS TO COME.<br /><br />PAGE5<br />Frame1, Gintoki:<br />- …That’s enough guys, settle down.<br />- Its already midnight, think about the neighbors.<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: Anyway, I’m still not very clear about your story.<br />Santa Claus: Although you have already given me a beating<br />Gintoki: But, who cares. First, let’s drink sake!<br />Reindeer: Huh, what’s that?<br />Gintoki: Sake is the so-called oil that lubricates all relationships in life. I remember Tokugawa Ieyasu said that too. But I could have remembered wrongly.<br /><br />TN: Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first shogun of Japan. He founded the Tokugawa Shogunate which ruled from the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.<br /><br />Frame3<br />Gintoki: Hey Pops, heat up three bottles of sake and give us some Kanto snacks. The old beard will pay for it.<br />Stall owner: Yes---Sir<br />Santa Claus: Beard? Who? You mean me?<br />Stall owner: Yes---Sir<br />Santa Claus: Should I shave it off, this beard?<br /><br />Frame4, Gintoki<br />- Where were we? Ah, you were both fighting over something?<br />-And who might you two be?<br /><br />Frame5<br />Santa Claus: What?<br />Gintoki: Do you work at some sort of transport company?<br />Santa Claus: No...huh? Shouldn’t this be self-explanatory?<br /><br />PAGE6<br />Frame1<br />Santa Claus: That…well according to the rules I’m not supposed to say it clearly...<br />-But practically speaking, I’m the one who rides around on a sleigh dispensing dreams to children. <br />Gintoki: Something like Robin Hood?<br />Santa Claus: Right – right – right ---, exactly that feeling, now add in the first two letters &quot;SA&quot;<br />Gintoki: SATAN?<br />Reindeer: Close—a pity! But judging from the meaning it’s just too far apart!<br /><br />Frame2, <br />Stall Owner: Hoho, sorry to interrupt, mister, but I’ve already guessed it.<br />- Think about it, it’s that thing, the hint is that it hangs between your legs…<br />Santa Claus: No, of course not! What kind of hint is that! What kind of answer are you thinking about!?<br /><br />Frame3<br />Gintoki: Forget about it, who cares if it is SANKON or SANTA <br />Reindeer: Hey, he just said it. Just now he said the correct answer.<br />Gintoki: Okay, so basically he is the uncle who rides around in a sleigh at midnight to do something for kids, right?<br />Santa Claus: You’re not wrong, but the way you put it makes me uncomfortable.<br /><br />TN: “Sankon”=“three offerings” in Japanese, a style of saluting with sake<br /><br />Frame4, <br />Stall Owner: Sir, I seem to be interrupting again but didn’t I guess it already?<br />-You know, they are the infamous guys who ride about in a sleigh at midnight, flashing at passers-by.<br />Santa Claus: Didn’t I tell you already that’s wrong! Who ARE you!? Just take a look at your ugly mug, your mind is full of perverted thoughts!!<br /><br />Frame5, Santa Claus<br />- Presents! I give presents!<br />-Riding in a sleigh, giving all the good children presents, that’s my job.<br />-However, the sleigh’s a wreck now so it’s game over for me!<br /><br />PAGE7<br />Frame1<br />Gintoki: It’s only your sleigh that’s broken, can’t you still do your job?<br />Santa Claus: No way! A sleigh, reindeer and red jacket, these are my three sacred symbols! I don’t want to spoil my image! I want to become a legend!<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: So you call this thing a reindeer? Isn’t he just some kind of monster?<br />Reindeer: WHAT!?<br /><br />Frame3, Gintoki<br />Well, I’m still not very clear about what you do, but if you’re having such a hard time, how about I give you a hand?<br /><br />Frame4, Gintoki<br />- Me, I specialize in this.<br />- Call me Yorozuya, I take on any assignment that shows up at my door.<br />-If you pay me, I’m at your service.<br /><br />Frame5<br />Reindeer: Huh!? You can do anything?<br />Santa Claus: How about you get me a sleigh right now huh!?<br /><br />Frame6, Gintoki<br />No sweat.<br /><br />Frame7, Santa Claus<br />What’s he got up his sleeve?<br /><br />PAGE8<br />Frame2<br />- Here ya go...<br />- Hop on!<br /><br />Frame4<br />Santa Claus: Hop onto what! You bastard, can’t you see there’s a man living in there!!<br />Gintoki: Ah? You can see him? That man is Mr. Cardbox. He’s a “kami” that only those who are pure hearted can see.<br />Reindeer: Then how come you can see him too! You’re being ridiculous!<br /><br />TN: Kami= A deity that dwells within objects in the Shinto faith.<br /><br />Frame5<br />Santa Claus: Besides, what we wanted was a sleigh! Isn’t this a cart …?<br />Mr Cardbox: This is not a cart! This is “MY HOME”!!<br />Reindeer: Ah, sorry.<br /><br />Frame6<br />Gintoki: Details, details stop fussing over details. A sleigh or a cart? Aren’t they both used to carry people?<br /><br />Mr CardBox: This is not a freaking cart! This is “MY HOME”!!<br /><br />Gintoki: Ah, excuse me.<br />- What’s your priority? Isn’t it to bring dreams to children? Let’s get back to basics here.<br />- Didn’t you two once possess a pair of sparkling eyes?<br /><br />Santa Claus: What the heck do you know about my past!!<br /><br />PAGE9<br />Frame1<br />Gintoki: Forget about your image, it’s your belly that’s the problem.<br />Small text: C’mon, lookit...<br />Santa Claus: It’s not a problem. I need this to create that feeling. I’m the forerunner of fat actors.<br />Gintoki: The only feeling you will get from the children are disappointed sighs of “Ah, just like dad.”<br /><br />Frame2, Gintoki<br />-Red color tends to expand and it’ll make your belly seem flabbier.<br />- Anyway, the reason you want to take it off is...<br />- to hang on something with a trendier color .<br /><br />Frame3 Santa Claus: <br />-No, I don’t want to! Wait…didn’t I tell you that I need those three sacred symbols! I told you no!<br />- Wait wait…If I take it off I’d just be an ordinary uncle…AHH!!<br /><br />Frame7, Santa Claus<br />- I think that something…<br />-Is just not right.<br /><br />PAGE10<br />Frame1, Gintoki<br />- What gave you that idea? It suits you! You look trendy and a lot slimmer.<br />- Black is supposed give a cool and calm effect, but how come everyone is rushing anxiously around shouting “lock your door and windows!” Why is that?<br /><br />Santa Claus: Don’t you think that I look like a thief from any angle!<br /><br />Frame2<br />Gintoki: How can that be? You know it’s the pimp daddy look that’s in fashion right now.<br />-You know, like a “bad boy”, with one foot on the “black path”, it’s the era of the P.diddy.<br /><br />Santa Claus: You call this “bad boy”? You call this one foot on “black path”? My whole body is covered in pitch black! I look like a criminal from head to toe!!<br /><br />TN: “Black path” in Japan refers to criminal underworld.<br /><br />Frame3, Santa Claus<br />-Hey, that’s my jacket, how can you just wear it without asking me!<br />- Hey hey, I’m serious. Give it back! Please!<br />Mr Cardbox: The theme this winter is DEFINITELY RED!<br />Santa Claus: What’s so definite about that! What’s definite is that if you wear that your books are still in the RED you poor fuck! I said give it back now~~!! <br /><br />- Frame4, Gintoki<br />Anyway, let’s start with this neighbourhood. A lot of poor people live here, we’ve got to help them.<br /><br />Frame5<br />Santa Claus: This is a sticky situation. If people here spot us, one phone call is all it takes.<br />- THEY’LL CALL THE COPS!<br />Reindeer: Why do I feel so nervous, even though I’m not doing anything bad?<br /><br />Frame6, Gintoki<br />- Hey.<br />- Which kid do we start with?<br /><br />PAGE11<br />Frame1, Santa Claus<br />- Well, children who lack humility and ask for things like an XBOX are disqualified.<br />- I only give toys like a kendama and the like to kids who understand how hard adults work to make a living.<br /><br />TN: Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy often seen in samurai manga because it requires great dexterity and can also double as a weapon. It consists of a spiked hammer (ken) carved from wood with a ball (tama) connected to it by a string. The object is to toss up the ball and continue hitting it with both sides of the hammer, the hilt and the spike. <br /><br />Gintoki: Are you two really qualified to dispense dreams?<br /><br />Frame2, Gintoki<br />Where can we find such frugal kids in this affluent day and age?<br /><br />Frame3, Gintoki<br />- Ah!<br />- There is one, Yuri-chan.<br /><br />Text: <br />WHAT I WANT:<br />KENDAMA<br /><br />Frame4, Gintoki <br />-How rare, in this day and age…<br />Text<br />WHAT I WANT:<br />KENDAMA AND MY ONCE GENTLE MOMMY.<br /><br />Frame6<br />Reindeer: …Ahem… Mommy…that’s not possible for us<br />Gintoki: Yuri-chan's mommy, did she pass away?<br />Santa Claus: Stop! Don’t say anymore, this topic is too deep…<br />Gintoki: Hmph…making two wishes at once is against the rules. This kid is disqualified!<br /><br />Frame7<br />Santa Claus: And the rest of them? Related to Kendama?<br />Gintoki: Why do you keep asking about the Kendama?<br />(bottom right)Santa Claus: Well, I expected there to be a fad for Kendama so I’ve brought more of them. Although this time I’ve miscalculated.

They have approximately 50 people dead or MIA.<br />- The infamous “Man-chopper” Nizo has also vanished…I don’t think both sides will be able to move in the short-term.<br /><br />Frame4 Yamazaki<br />- What I don’t understand is, that compared to Takasugi who commands the fiercest knights on this side of the Okada river, Katsura should barely have decent pawns.<br />-What strategy enabled him to end up evenly matched with Takasugi?<br /><br />Frame5 Yamazaki<br />- I have some startling news related to this<br />- Katsura’s side had a strange supporter who arrived with reinforcements…that guy…<br /><br /><br />PAGE2<br />Frame1, Yamazaki<br />- brought two mysterious brats with him<br />- He was white haired, wild and carried himself like a <em>bushi</em><br /><br />Frame2, Yamazaki<br />-…Vice-Captain<br />- Do you think that man could be—<br /><br />Frame3, Hijikata Toshiro<br />-……That bastard?<br />- It figures. The last time Katsura caused a ruckus with the Ikedaya Affair, he was also involved, although he managed to slip through our fingers.<br /><br />TN: In the Ikedaya Affair of 1864, the Shinsengumi prevented the burning of Kyoto by the Joi faction and delayed their eventual victory by a couple of years.<br /><br />Frame4, Yamazaki<br />- Shall I probe into him?<br />- Vice-Captain<br /><br />Frame5, Hijikata<br />- Well, that guy was already suspicious to begin with. I think you can tell that he’s the type who would just show up with a record the moment we probe into him.<br /><br />- He hasn’t done anything major, so it’s probably fine to leave him alone…However, in the worst case scenario, he could be lying in wait for his chance.<br /><br />Frame6, Hijikata<br />- Suppose that we actually discover that the boss of Yorozuya is also involved in Joi activities…<br />- Then doesn’t that settle everything?<br /><br />PAGE3<br />Frame1<br />Bottom right text:<br />THE 98th READING<br />TO DECEIVE ANOTHER IS TO DECEIVE ONESELF<br />HIDEAKI SORACHI<br /><br />Hijikata: Whether he is a moderate or an extremist, without a doubt he is our enemy<br /><br />- Execute him<br /><br />Frame4, Yamazaki<br />…Is this the place?<br /><br />Frame5, Yamazaki<br />-…the compound is bigger than I expected<br /><br />Frame6, Ms. Otose<br />- Eh? Gintoki?<br />- That bastard got cut up so he’s over Shinpachi’s house to nurse his wounds.<br /><br />PAGE4<br />Frame1 text<br />R: More and more suspicious<br />L: He’s probably cut up because of his clash with Takasugi’s faction<br /><br />Frame2, text<br />R: But for me to execute him…<br /><br />L: Doesn’t the Vice-Captain know how ridiculous he sounds?<br /><br />Frame3, text<br />R: He even lost to the boss himself. So what chance do I have against him? What was he thinking about…?<br />L: “Do it matter what”. He actually ordered me to do it. Do what? How can I accomplish this mission?<br />Kagura: WHO IS IT!!<br /><br />Frame4, text<br />Am I discovered!?<br /><br />Frame5, Kagura<br />- My, my, my. So you’ve really come<br />-KU KU KU. I just knew you would come<br /><br />Frame6, text<br />R: How can it be? Is he really that powerful?<br />L: Has he seen through everything?<br /><br />Frame7, Kagura<br />- Are you here to avenge your fallen comrades?<br />- MASCOTTA<br />Text: What the—Mascotta?<br /><br />PAGE5<br />Frame1, Kagura<br />- Are you talking about Maririn!!<br />-FRIEZA!!!<br /><br />(TN: Kagura is reading from Dragon Ball)<br /><br />Frame2, Kagura<br />-Uwaaahh, owowow, guuuu, Gyaaahhh!!<br />- Ah ~Ah, oh~oh, ah~oh ah~oh<br /><br />Frame3, <br />Kagura: Ah~oh, ah~oh UGYAAAA rumble rumble &lt;Ah it’s BLEEDING again&gt;<br />Gintoki: Hey--- you’ve totally lost me there. C’mon, pass the book over, I can read it myself.<br /><br />Text: Ah, she was reading JUMP…Y’know that by doing this you can easily create misunderstanding!<br /><br />Frame4<br />Kagura: You’re not allowed! It’s too much excitement for an injured person to read JUMP. I’LL read it for you.<br />Gintoki: That’s why I said that if you want to read it then read it in a way I can understand.<br /><br />Text: Whatever, I’m better off hiding under the floorboards first.<br /><br />Frame5<br />Kagura: “Ah-ha~, Manako-dono, please turn off the lights”<br />- Nishin ignored Manako’s request and started to approach her slowly, savagely…<br />Gintoki: AH AH AH AH AH! Stop! Stop it right there! It’s too early! You’ve not reached that age…<br /><br />TN: Kagura starts to read Ichigo 100%<br /><br />PAGE6<br />Frame1, Shimura Tae, Otae<br />- WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO MOVE!!<br /><br />Frame 2+3, Gintoki + Yamazaki<br />- GYAHHHH!!<br /><br />Frame4, Otae<br />- Oh dear, Gintoki, how many times do I have to tell you?<br /><br />Frame5, Otae<br />- Your injuries are so serious that the next time you move you will definitely<br />-…DIE. I will kill you~<br /><br />Frame6<br />Gintoki: I’m sorry but could you let me stay at the hospital? I think I’m hearing things.<br />- I heard Otae with two voices and she even said “I will kill you”. Ah, no no no, it’s not your fault, my bad my bad.<br />Otae: No, that’s not allowed. If we let you stay at a hospital you will run away. But if you even think about running away from here you will be executed.<br />Gintoki: Listen! I heard it again! Like execute me! How can anyone talk like that to a patient?<br />Shinpachi: Gin-san, you are not hallucinating.<br /><br /><br />PAGE7<br />Frame1, Yamazaki<br />R: DAN…DANGER!!<br />L: I almost got myself killed<br /><br />Frame2, Otae<br />- You must be hungry now<br />- I’ve been cooking<br />Text<br />R: But thanks to the cut, now there’s a hole <br />L: for me to spy at what’s happening inside.<br /><br />Frame3<br />Otae: I made egg porridge<br />- But Gin-san you are not allowed to move, I’ll feed you.<br />Gintoki: Is this an interrogation?<br /><br />Frame4<br />Kagura: Let me do it, big sister<br />Otae: Oh Kagura-chan, you’re a good mommy<br />Text: Are they having dinner?<br /><br />Frame5<br />Kagura: Ah<br />Yamazaki: Eh?<br /><br />Frame6<br />Kagura: Ah ah, it fell over!

That’s got to be it! Think positively, Isao, think positively <br />- Under these circumstances, if I have a single negative thought then I shall melt away like the poor Haagan Dazs.<br /><br />Yamazaki: YOU ARE REALLY HERE!!<br /><br />Frame6<br />Kondo: This voice! Yamazaki-kun! Is that you, Yamazaki!!<br />- Dammit, of all the people to come to my rescue why does it have to be that “curse of death”?<br />Bottom right, Yamazaki: I’m going now. I’ll call for Zaoriku-kun to help you out.<br />Bottom left, Kondo: No! I was just joking!! Luckily its not Zariki-kun! Luckily its not Kenpachi-kun! Isao-kun!<br /><br />PAGE11<br />Frame1<br />Kondo: Hurry up and pull me up! This is serious! I’m shaking like mad…ah, just like a new born gorilla…<br />Yamazaki: You mean a new born baka, Captain<br />Left top, Kondo: No! No! It’s not a mistake, I mean spiritually! Anyone would feel insecure when they are newly born!!<br />Left bottom, Yamazaki: How are you insecure when you are already 30 years old?<br /><br />Frame2, Sarutobi &quot;Sa-chan&quot; Ayame<br />-Ho ho<br />-You’re so naive<br /><br />Frame3, Sa-chan<br />- Miss Otae, do you think that just by setting these traps you can sever my feelings for Gin-san?<br />- Conversely does this mean you are afraid of me? That I have a chance with Gin-san?<br /><br />Frame4, Sa-chan<br />- Yes! That’s got to be it! Think positively, Sa-chan, think positively <br />- Under these circumstances, if I have a single negative thought then I shall be smashed like those poor glasses, Sa-chan.<br /><br />Yamazaki: IS THERE ANOTHER BAKA HERE!!<br /><br />Frame5<br />Sa-chan: Isn’t this Gin-san’s voice! I’m so sorry to make you rescue me. What I wanted to do was to take care of you that’s why I came here. But instead this happened…<br /><br />Yamazaki: You’re mistaken, baka! Did losing your glasses affect your hearing as well?<br /><br />Top left, Sa-chan: Oh ho ho, of course it is you, Gin-san. Only you know how I like to be teased like this, you can’t trick me.<br /><br />Bottom left, Yamazaki: Why is it that only annoying people have fallen into the holes!?<br /><br />Frame6<br />Kondo: Yamazaki-san! What’s keeping you! If you don’t hurry up the baby gorilla will die!<br />Sa-chan: You must be Gin-san, you know it feels delicious to be anxious. Alright then, I will play along.<br />Middle, Yamazaki: SHADDUP!!<br /><br />PAGE12<br />Frame2<br />Kondo: What did you say!? The Yorozuya bastard and Miss Otae are actually living under the same roof!?<br />Yamazaki: This is not the main point! It’s the investigation! We are here to investigate the boss of Yorozuya!<br /><br />Frame3<br />Kondo: You are playing with my feelings! How can this be true! You devious woman! I’ve come here so many times and each time I’ve only slept with bamboo poles!<br />Yamazaki: This is no good. Hey, did you hear what I just said?<br />Sa-chan: What’s wrong with you, discouraged by this little thing? A perverted stalker has to have a hard shell.<br />Top left, Kondo: What did you say, you sick woman!!<br />Bottom left, Yamazaki: Hey, hey, when did this place turn into a forum for perverted stalkers?<br /><br />Frame4, Sa-chan<br />- In this world, the only thing I live for is him. I don’t think you have taken enough punishment to appreciate this.<br />- For example, even when I heard that Gin-san had a kid, not only did I did not mind, I was even glad for him.<br /><br />Frame5, Kondo<br />- Hey, stop calling me perverted stalker this, perverted stalker that! Stop comparing me with you!<br />-I’m a normal guy, just a little bit dumber at dating, much more clinging and likes secrecy!<br />Yamazaki: That IS a perverted stalker.<br /><br />Frame6<br />Sa-chan: This is classic ---- you mean you never realized that you were a perverted stalker?<br />Kondo: I am definitely not a perverted stalker! If you have to, then call me a seeker --- a seeker of love<br />Yamazaki: Captain…enough is enough. This is not the time for this kind of discussion<br /><br />Frame7, Yamazaki<br />-“According to the situation, carry out the execution”<br />- That was the order, now what should I do?<br /><br />PAGE13<br />Frame1, Kondo<br />- Isn’t it obvious that cutting him is the solution!!<br />- I’ll be more than happy to carry it out personally!<br /><br />Frame2, Sa-chan<br />- Just you try it<br />- I’ll let you know the consequences of touching Gin-san<br /><br />Frame3, Yamazaki<br />- Hey, hey, listen to me<br />- Stop it you two…<br /><br />Frame4, Kondo + Sa-chan<br />-!!<br /><br />Frame5, Gin-san<br />- Dammit, I have the worst luck<br />- Why do I have to suffer like this?<br /><br />Frame7, Yamazaki<br />-Ah!<br /><br />PAGE14<br />Frame1<br />Kondo: Gintoki!!!<br />Sa-chan: Never!!!<br /><br />Frame3, Kagura + Otae<br />- FOUND---YOU~!!<br />- Surrender to your fate!!<br /><br />Frame5<br />Sa-chan: WAHHHHH!!<br />Kondo: UGWAHHH!!<br /><br />PAGE 15: No words<br />PAGE 16: No words<br /><br />PAGE17<br />Frame1, text<br />-Vice-Captain<br /><br />Frame2, text<br />R: I think that the boss of Yorozuya<br />L: Is not someone to be understood by the likes of me<br /><br />Frame3, text<br />R: No matter how I try, I still don’t get it.<br />L: There are those who love him and those who hate him<br /><br />Frame4, text<br />R: Even though he drags those around him into chaos<br />L: They still continue to gather at his side<br /><br />Frame5, text<br />R: Ah, will you say that this is ridiculous?

That type of thing would be too complicated for him to understand.<br />L: He is just that kind of guy<br /><br />Frame2, text<br />I think it would be so nice to see her smile.<br /><br />Frame3, text<br />REPORT<br />Your subordinate reckons that the boss of Yorozuya is not involved in the Joi movement.
