Gintama 174

Well here it is, Gintama's summer vacation arc. Fitting time frame wouldn't you say? If you want to scantlate, get in touch with me for the raws.


(Sfx- Katsu *Sheen*)

(Bottom text- Lesson 174)

(Sfx- Kyai Kyai *Yay! Yay!)

Shinpachi: Gin-san

Gintoki: What’s up?

Shinpachi: You see anyone suspicious?

Gintoki: Nope.

Shinpachi: Well I think that people who watch girls in Bikini’s with a camera in their hands shivering with excitement is suspicious.

Especially if said person is hiding with his camera from the girls in bikini’s.

002

Gintoki: Yeah you’re right.

Shinpachi: Although there’s absolutely nothing wrong with people who watch over the calm ocean like we are.

So we’ve return to Ryuguu Castle again this year…

Gintoki: Not that I wanted to bring you guys along.

Shinpachi: You say that but I’m sure you don’t mean it. Huh? Where’s Kagura-chan?

Gintoki: Didn’t she say she was going to look for turtles?

Shinpachi: Huh? What’s that person there up to?

Gintoki: That’s Kagura isn’t it?

Shinpachi: Look’s like she’s given up. Huh…wait…

003

(Sfx- Pan *Smack*)

Kagura: You lookin’ down on me?

Turtle: Ow! Ow!

I’m just a simple turtle though…..

(Sfx- Doshaaaaa *Thudsliiiide.*)

Kagura: Stand up! That was for Krillin! Next is…

Shinpachi: Kagura-chaaan!! What are you doing!!

Are you okay?!

Turtle: Urgh…

Shinpachi: Hey! Hold on! Wait! You’re a turtle!!

004

Shinpachi: What were you doing bullying this poor sea turtle Kagura-chan?! Stop the violence!!

Gintoki: Moreover….why a Turtle?

Kagura: He isn’t just a turtle! He was trying to take pictures of us with his camera there…

Gintoki: Moreover….why a Turtle?

Are you an otaku or something?

Turtle: I wasn’t taking any pictures or nothing, I was just here enjoying the ocean kelp is all.

Kagura: Don’t lie! You’re here to satisfy your sick desire for women!

Turtle: I said I wasn’t taking any pictures, and I wasn’t! Stop accusing me, you’re making me look bad!

Gintoki: We get it already ok? If you’re really innocent, then you wouldn’t mind if we had a look at your camera right?

Turtle: No way! It’s my camera! And I demand my right to privacy when it comes to my stuff!

(Handwritten- Hand it over.)

Gintoki: Well, it’s not helping your case unless you hand it over and prove your innocence is it?

005

(Sfx- Gatcha *Click*)

Turtle: I’m telling you there’s nothing there but pictures of kelp.

I mean maybe there’s the chance I might have seen one or two girls while I’ve been looking at kelp, and I may have saved their pictures….

(Sfx- Kyai Kyai *Yay yay!*)

Turtle: No no, that’s not right I’m telling you…

Um…the truth is, I’m making my own jokes up, and filming the reactions on camera. It’ll be called Kanidid Kamera---

(TN- Kanidid from ‘Kame’ for Turtle…it’s a lame joke that won’t translate well.)

(Sfx- Gotsu *Kick*)

Gintoki: What’s your address?

Turtle: I’m sorry, The truth is I don’t really have a family or anything that can be called that.

Soon my wife will start laying eggs though, and this could be a problem…so can you delete those pictures?

My eggs will cry if Daddy gets kicked out of the house.

I’m really really sorry! Please help me and get rid of those!

I really was trying to take pictures of kelp! Really!

Shinpachi(?): Why do you continue to tell that lie? Is it popular in Turtle country?

006

Turtle: I was trying to find out which one would look the best after mine was swept away by the river.

Gintoki: So you really want us to believe that you were really only after some kelp.

Turtle: I really wanted to eat some kelp!

Shinpachi: It’s what’s coming out of your mouth that’s the problem here though.

So you have a Boating license?

Gintoki: Uh..don’t turtles swim?

Shinpachi: His address is Ryuuguu Castle second block of the fifth road of the third from of Mezon konbu, 305 place.

Ryuuguu castle?

Shinpachi: By Ryuuguu you don’t mean THAT Ryuuguu castle?!

Turtle: Yes, To be honest my job is that of guiding people around that place.

Gintoki: Seriously? What you can guide us around that Ryuuguu?!

Turtle: Well…yeah, it’s not strange to do so…

007


LESSON 175
It’s before summer begins that’s the most fun.

008

???: Looong looong ago on an island under the sea…

We found a perverted turtle taking pictures of girls, and after beating him up he took us to Ryuuguu castle~

(Sfx- Giko giko *Creeek *)

Turtle: Do you think you could stop singing that? I mean if someone hears you my reputation is pretty much finished….

Kagura: Yay!!! A summer vacation at Ryuuguu Castle!

Shinpachi: Wow! To think that Ryuuguu Castle actually existed out there!

Does that mean Urashima Tarou exists too?

(TN- Urashima Tarou is a Japanese fairytale. Go do some research on your own here: http://www.worldfriend.net/i/urashima.html, and learn more about him yourself. Just because school’s out doesn’t mean you can’t learn some things ;) )

Turtle: Yeah he does, although I haven’t actually met him. I know that the first customer we ever had was Urashima himself though.

Ever since then, everyone’s just started calling him ‘Urashima-san.’

Shinpachi: This is so awesome! Gin-san, to think that we’d have a chance to see Urashima himself!

We’ll be able to carve our names into history!

Gintoki: While I could care less about that guy, I do suddenly find myself worried about that ‘customers’ part. Does this mean you plan on charging us for this little vacation?

Turtle: Don’t be absurd!

009

Turtle: Yes Ryuuguu Castle is a very extravagant place, and ordinarily you have to be chosen to even be able to travel there….

And even when a lucky person does get permitted entry, it looks like holy ground….but.

A turtle has a strict moral code to adhere to.

Anyone we bring we have to treat as a high and mighty guest, giving them all the comfort they could ask for. This is the ocean law.

Gintoki: Though if you ask me, you don’t look like a turtle in the least.

Turtle: I get it then! Well we can make this one time special after I give you a stamp card, after which if you decide to return you can pay two fold.

(Sfx- Gotsu *Kick*)

Gintoki&Kagura: That’s enough!!

Turtle: Fine, how about taking some lotion on sale?

(Sfx-Gotsu *Kick*)

Gintoki&Kagura: What kind of store is this?

Turtle: Can I then interest everyone in a special service where you can drink as much as you….

Gintoki&Kagura: That’s enough!!

(Sfx- Gotsu *Kick*)

Gintoki: Anyway, are we even moving towards Ryuuguu? I mean we’ve been at sea for two hours now.

Were they handing out Boat licenses the day that you got yours or something? You don’t seem to know how to handle your ship.

Turtle: To be honest, I’m on probation since I had an accident with a Dolphin. Don’t worry about it though, it’s being investigated in court as we speak.

???: You’re still being investigated!?!

010

Gintoki: Come on now, give me a break. An old man would have passed us already with the speed we’re going.

(Sfx- Zazazazazaza *Shhhhssssssssss*)

Gintoki: Hey, what the heck is that cruiser?

Shinpachi: T---That’s…

(Sfx- Ooooooooooonnn *Vhssssssssss*)

Sister and Kyuubee-san!

Tae: Oh my! Shin-chan! Why are you in the center of the ocean like this?

Shinpachi: What about you sister? I thought you and Kyuubee were going shopping today?

(TN- I know most people spell it Kyuubei, but according to the Furigana its’ spelled Kyuubee. I guess the scantlator taking on this arc can change it to whatever they want, but I’m spelling it the way Sorachi did.)

???: Otae-chan….Kyuu-chan.

011

(TN- Damn he looks awesome O_o Almost like he’s not supposed to be in this manga.)

Shades: I managed to snag a delicious looking mackerel.

(Sfx- Don *Bam*)

Shades: Shall we partake in it on our way to Ryuuguu?

???: Wha…

WHY DOES THAT TURTLE LOOK SO AWESOME?!

Kagura: He’s so cool looking!

It’s like there’s a black light coming from here!

But, why’s he a turtle?

Shinpachi: He’s got that awesome fish, and even his chest hair flows with a radiance of being alive!

S….Sister!! Could it be that you two….

Kyuubee: Honestly we were getting bothered by the men on the beach trying to pick up girls, so he saved us by saying he knows a place where we won’t be bothered.

(Handwritten- I’m sorry for the foils of men.)

Kyuubee: So after listening to what he had to say, we decided to accompany him to Ryuuguu castle.

Shades: We need to keep moving, or else Ryuuguu will become filled with other guests, and there will be no room.

Girls: Oh okay.

Tae: Well Shin-chan, I don’t want you doing goodness knows what out here in this dangerous ocean. So go back home immediately.

Shinpachi: Bu---But wait!

012

Shinpachi: Sister!!! I want to ride with you!!!

(Sfx- Shugooooooo *Vrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm*)

Kagura: Boss lady!!

Gintoki: Hey! What the hell is up with this?! Why does a guide like that exist?! Moreover wouldn’t it be easier to get to Ryuuguu if we had something like that?

Start talking! Where did that Turtle come from?!

Shinpachi: This isn’t the time to argue with him Gin-san! We have to get there quickly!

(Sfx- Zazazazaza *shshshshshshsh*)

Gintoki: Dammit! This is our vacation and we have to paddle ourselves?!

(Sfx- Dooooooooooo *whooooooooo*)

(Sfx- Zazaaaaaaaaaaaaa *Splishhhhhhhh*)

Yorozuya: Gyaaaaaaaaah!!

013

(Sfx- Gogogogogo *Doooom*)

Shinpachi: Wha…

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

Tha..That’s….

Kagura: Madao!!

Gintoki: What the hell?! Who’s that turtle there with him?! Doesn’t he look cooler than the last one even?

Hasegawa: Yo, Gin-san. I happened to run into this Turtle on the beach, and we got to talking. Now I’m gonna go hang out at Ryuuguu with him and his buddies.

Gintoki: Save us too then! You can save us with that huge ass boat right?!

Turtle: Hasegawa-san’s face has a good quality to it. I have judged him and feel that he can cross to Ryuuguu with me.

Gintoki: A good quality in his face?! What the hell is that?! What basis did you judge him?!

014

Turtle: Captain! There’s an unknown anomaly flying over us in a fortress of some kind!

Captain: WHAT?!

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *Ruuuumble.*)

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *ruuuuumble.*)

???: It’s huge!!

A Turt----

(Sfx- supo-n *poke.*)

???: ….What….

It poked huh?

Yeah it poked…

Shinpachi: That right there is really unusual isn’t it, even for this situation.

Gintoki: Think about it though. All of the other rides we’ve seen have been boats right? This one is an airship…so it can’t be…

(Sfx- Gogogogogo *ruuuuumble.*)

Shinpachi: I think it CAN be.

But that story was long long ago wasn’t it?

(TN- I think this one is ‘Journey to the West, a story that we should at least know the lead character for….’Son Goku.’ Ring any bells? Check it all out here at the wiki article I found on the subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_West)

Katsura: Gintoki. To think that we’d meet in a place like this.

If you really want to have the best Dango, I have found that you must go to India!

Where is this country of this olden story?!

015

Captain: Shoot!

We must get Hasegawa-san to Ryuuguu!

When the brilliance of life has begun to fade, one can only embrace the beauty that is Madao!!

(Sfx- Doon! Doon! *Boom! Boom!*)

Katsura: Who gives two figs about your Ryuuguu?! My aim is the one and only India!

(Sfx- Goooooooooo *Fooooom!*)

Gintoki: It isn’t that moron!!

Shades: You’d actually attack the fearsome ‘Empire of the Sea’ without any conviction in front of me? You’ve got balls!

Then I too will prepare for battle against you fools!!

(Sfx- Ooooooooo)

(Handwritten: Wait a second!)

Yorozuya: AAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Shinpachi: Why?!

All we wanted to do was check out Ryuuguu so why….

(Sfx- Doooon *BOOOM*)

Gintoki: As if I’d know the answer to that!!!!

016

(Sfx- Piktusu *Blink.*)

Shinpachi: Ugh…

Is this…

Ryuuguu?

{This is…}

{What we had been looking for…Ryuuguu.}

Shinpachi: Everyone!

Gin-san! Kagura-chan! Kamenashi-san!

(TN- Kamenashi seems to mean Turtle pear…)

{This is…}

{The place of extravagant food and beautiful princesses who would dance for us.}

{But Otomehime-sama}

{Wasn’t here.}

(Written in sand- Justice Justice Justice Justice Justice Justice Justice Justice….Sa---Save meeee---)

{My}

{Worst Summer vacation in my life…}

{Was only beginning.}

(Sfx- AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!)
