Gintama 209

I just hope when people are done reading about Shinigami, Pirates, Mafioso, and Exorcists that their hearts aren't impartial to a chapter and end of chapter like this one....a bit rushed Sorachi, but still...you really continue to outdo what my expectations for a Shounen manga are.





Top Text- A tearful reunion…?

GINTAMA

Lesson 209: Need energy? Leave it to booze.

Old man: Ki----Kintarou…

I won’t lose to you….I can still go at it.

Kintarou: G---Gramps…!

(Sfx- *Yota yota* wobble wobble.)

{Why….Why would he come here?}

Bottom text- The Shinsengumi’s discord arc has started!!

Check out the Anime on TV Tokyo Thursday nights at 6’o clock!!

{You still want to meet me so we can have this match?}

{Just knock it off already! I don’t want to do this! I---I’m sick of it!}

(Sfx-*Yoro Yoro* wobble wobble.)

{I don’t get you! You blasted old man!}

{I don’t want to see that face of yours….}

(Sfx-*Yoro yoro* Wobble wobble…)

Kintarou: G---Gramps!!

Kagura: Wait!! Its danger----

(Bottom text: SORACHI HIDEAKI.)

Giant cat: I found you…

I’ve got you now….

Star Eater!!

(Sfx- *Oaaaooooo*)

Giant cat: You can’t run…

Sorry, but there isn’t a place in this universe left that you can run to now!

003

(Sfx-*toon!* Leap!)

(Sfx-*shaaaaaa* Hissssss!)

Giant cat: Now…DIE!!

(Sfx-*Dogogogogo* Trample trample.)

(Sfx-*Koro koro* Roll roll)

004

(Sfx-*gogogogo* Ruuuumble.)

Kagura: Gwah…

Nngggggghhh!!!

Kintarou: You!!

(Sfx-*Gan Gon* Smack smack!)

(Sfx-*Gagishiiii* Screeeeeee)

(Sfx-*Pakin* Ching shing!)

(Sfx-*meri meri* Creeeeeek.)

005

Kagura: Quickly!

Go Quickly!!

(Sfx- *bashan* crack!)

(Sfx-*giiin* shiing!)

Walk!

Go and walk with him on more time!

You don’t need to cry or talk,

To say good bye to someone!

Stuff like that is pointless!

Just being close to each other, and doing the best you can..

That closeness is good enough!

006

Kagura: That’s fine for the two of you!

In fact that’s what makes the two of you!

Cats: Don’t you dare even think you can interfere with us brat! We’ll just increase our numbers!

(Sfx-*dodododododo* rumbleeeeee)

Cats: As long as that mongrel exists, our planet will never be able to return to its former glory!

(Sfx-*Kura kura* Clamor clamor)

You don’t get it because he hasn’t yet come to your planet to destroy it!

Kagura: Get lost cats!

I’m not fighting to save the earth or anything like that right now anyway!

If I can help one doggy spend his last moments with his happy owner however, I’ll do whatever it takes!

(Sfx-*yota* wobble.)

(Sfx-*don* slam.)

007
(Sfx-*dogogon!* smaaaaack!)

Kagura: Don’t interrupt their walking time!!

(Sfx-*Nyaaaaah!*)

Cats: Colonel! This brat managed to fight off all of our attacks!

What the hell?! Could this brat actually be a secret weapon of the star eaters?!

008

{The Parasitic Comet Omega.}

{This is the ‘Star barfers’ true strength which is a sweeper comet that they call upon when the moment is right.}

{The Star eaters and Star Barfers rely on this comet to cross breed and create new life, somewhat like beer does for earth.}

{This powerful comet comes and can usually bring peace to the rivalry of both planets, however it causes the star eaters to become extremely cantankerous and therefore raise their brutality.}

Cat: Colonel! That star falling there! It’s the one we’ve been waiting for!

Now you all are done for!

It’s Omega! Now it’ll bring destruction to you all!!

(Sfx-*Gatsu!* Smash!!)

009

(Sfx-*Pesu Pesu pesu* Quiver quiver quiver…..)

Katsura: Hello, I’m Omemi

Nice to meet you.

(Katsura’s fake voice.)

(Sfx-*Gyaaaaahhhhh!!*)

Old man: It seems things have changed since my day…

Now there are cats flying around in the sky…

(Sfx-*Gotsu!* Smack!)

Old man: Fugoooh!

010

(Sfx-*Zazaza* shhhsssssh!)

{Aaaarrrggghhhh!!}

{The candles representing my lifespan!! There were two of them…and now I’m only left with one!!}

{What does that wench think she’s doing?!}

Kagura: Go!!! Quickly!

{Does she fully understand the situation?! This isn’t the time to worry about taking a walk!!}

{I can’t even stand up!}

{It’s got to be the same for Gramps too! He’s got to be on his final---}

(Sfx-*Buru buru buru* Shiver shiver shiver.)

{Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamps!!}

011

{Wh…Why?! Why is he still able to stand up although he’s only got one candle left?!}

{He shouldn’t even be able to move!!}

Old man.: Fuahahahah….

Kintaro you’re pathetic! You telling me you can’t even stand up?

I’m still feeling great!

(Sfx-*Buruburu* shiver shiver.)

I guess it was pointless to think that an old dog could ever keep up with the likes of a guy like me.

(Sfx-*Biin!* Twang!)

{Don---}

{Don’t you dare even think I’ll back down you damned geezer!}

(Sfx-*Gaku gaku* Shake shake.)

012

{I can still move!}

{And as long as I can move I’m not losing to you!}

Old man: Heh, Don’t push yourself there.

If you do, you might just kick the bucket.

{Same to you old geezer!}

Old man: You sure are a stubborn little fellow aren’t you?

(Sfx-*Zatsu* turn.)

{You damned Geezer!}

{This whole thing is pointless!!}

{I’ll leave it to you though…}

013

Old man: How pointless.

Granny: Dear, don’t be rough.

That little dog was just born you know.

I heard that he’s pretty resilient, He managed to live although his brothers and mother died recently.

Old man: Of course this little guy wouldn’t die then.

That would be the most horrible thing.

Of course it’s not too great for him, seeing that quite unfortunately he’s the last one here after they all died.

It’s always the worse to be left alone after everyone else dies off. I hope that never happens to me.

That’s why I’m gonna make sure I kick the bucket first so I’m not left all alone when the time comes.

I’ve got a one up at least with this guy around, because as long as I can head off before he does, I should be fine.

Granny: Um…I’m here too you know.

Old man: I ain’t gonna die before you. No way in hell.

Granny: I’m also 10 years younger than you.

014

Old man: Ladies have got it easier.

The two of us have to have a different type of resolve.

Hey you,

Don’t you think it sucks that you outlived your mom and your brothers?

That’s why you’ve got to take charge.

You take charge of ever aspect of your life, even when you will die. In that way there will be no problems with you.

Even if your friends and lovers all kick the bucket before you, as long as you take charge and find someone you trust it’ll all work out somehow.

Although I have to ask you for one request however…

And that’s for you not to die before me.

I know I don’t have many friends who aren’t buried,

And I really hate having to shed tears over all of my losses.

I also don’t want to end up in your situation where I have no one to cry over me when I’m gone.

That’s why I’m asking you not to let me die on my own.

You see without that essential thing,

Taking charge of things will only lead to more tears.

That’s why even though I’m taking charge of my self I ask you this.

015

Old man: Live a good long time without any worries about me or anyone else.

And if it turns out you can’t quite do it, I’ll wet my eyes one more time for you and only you.

So you’ve got no need for pointless worries.

Leader.

(Sfx-*Gaku gaku* Shiver shiver.)

{Old geezer.}

{That’s enough.}

(Sfx-*Gaku gaku* Shiver shiver.)

{Old Geezer}

{This is as far as it goes.}

(Sfx-*Buru buru* Wobble wobble.)

{Lets just stop it.}

{I’m leaving it to you…so let’s knock this off.}

(Sfx-*Gakun* Poit!)

{I can’t even see anymore.}

(Sfx- *Dosasa* Thud!)

{You can go on in pain all you like then you accursed old man, I can’t even see anymore.}

016

{I never thought I’d meet you and spend my whole life, from the good times to the end with you.}

{Why did you have to show up now when I’d hurt the most?}

{I wasn’t planning…}

{On turning my death into some kind of amusement.}

{If I pass on first…}

{You can still go on with no regrets.}

{Because you know…}

{I don’t think I can do this anymore Gramps..}

(Sfx-*Gushi* grip)

{What am I saying?! I don’t want to pass on before you at all!}

{I’m gonna go on till the very end!}

(Sfx-*Gaku gaku gaku* Shiver shiver shiver.)

{Gramps, When…}

{When did I….}

{When did I go from the King of Terror…}

{To being the leader in your sick little race?}

(Sfx-*Buru buru* shake shake…)

017

{Maybe because…}

{I actually don’t want to see you cry…}

{But in that case…why don’t you croak Gramps?}

{I’m telling you to pass on dammit!}

{I’m leaving it to you!}

{So pass on already!}

{Gramps!}

{Pass on!!}

{I’m telling you to pass on!!}

{Pass on after me!!!}

{Damn old geezer!!!}

018

Old man: Ki---Kinatarou…

Looks like you win…

(Sfx-*Piku* twitch.)

(Sfx-*Pota pota* Drip drip.)

019

Old man: Looks like…

You’re the one who’s gonna have to cry like a baby.

Tha—n—k—you…

Lea—

(Handwritten- Let’s go Sadaharu.)

(Side text- The race between a dog and his owner, can continue….always.)

GINTAMA LESSON 209……END.
