Gintama 223

Man it's been a long week. So sit back, pop open a drink and enjoy some epic win.

(Side text- In front of the night king, there’s nothing that can be done….)

(Sfx- Pota pota- *Crack crack*)

(Sfx- Bicha- *Drip*)

(Bottom- GINTAMA)

Housen: He was a pitiful man.

He lost his masters, his and his country….un able to protect either one.

In the end he just dies, right in front of those he swore to protect.

That sword of yours…is this the meaning you sought for unsheathing it?

With a sword like that, it’s only natural that you wouldn’t be able to protect anything.

Not even your own life…

(Bottom text- The Anime airs every Thursday evening at six!)

Seita: Gi----

Gin-san..

002

(Side text- The light…destroyed?!)

(Sfx- Gogogogogo *Ruuuuuumble.*)

Seita: GIN-SAAAAAAAAN!!!

GINTAMA
Lesson 223: Don’t draw confidence from bedtime stories.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

Seita: Uwaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!

Uuh…

Waaah….

(Sfx- Potatsu *driiip*)

Kamui: Do you really think that you have the luxury to stand around and cry?

003

Kamui: A man like that who was able to risk his life until the very end…

Don’t you think you should do as he said at this point?

{Hurry up and get out of here.}

{Take your mother and run away from Yoshiwara.}

{I don’t…}

{Want to be a loser anymore.}

(Sfx- Gutsu *Grip*)

(Sfx- Datsu *Dash*)

Housen: How very futile.

004

Seita: Ma!

Let’s get outta here!

Hurry up, come wit’ me and let’s go!

Ma!

Quit sittin’ there and come on ma!

(Sfx- Guitsu *Grab.*)

Seita: Ma?

Why…

Are ya sittin’ there…

Why aren’tcha gettin’ up and follwin me?

Hinowa: ….I….

I can’t run.

005

Hinowa: I can’t run from this place….

It’s impossible for me.

Seita: Whatcha talkin’ about?

What are you tryin’ to get at ma?

Hinowa: I’m so sorry Seita..

You must run away on your own.

Seita: MA!

(Sfx- Zazatsu *S-swif*)

Hinowa: St—Stop that!

Seita!

006

Seita: Wha---

What’s this?

Housen: I hate repeating myself.

Yoshiwara and the women that reside within it are my property.

No matter where they go..

They cannot escape this fact.

Even if they stand firm and try to fly to the upper world…

Yoshiwara is the only sky they’ll meet.

Their wings that would have aided them in escape…

Have been cut off long ago.

007

Seita: M---

Ma---

Housen: There’s no way that she can…

Reasonably walk on her own.

Standing is the limit of her strength.

I won’t allow her to go anywhere.

And to ensure this I have made sure that there is no way for her to stand and take flight.

Kamui: You’re quite the villain, stopping a poor woman by stealing her ability to walk.

(Sfx- Pota *Drip*)

Seita: …awful…

This is awful…

I can’t do nothin’ for my ma can I?

Why does ma have to suffer all alone?

While all I can do is look at her?

008

Hinowa: You’ve done enough.

Please don’t over do things…

It was good enough that you came here for me Seita.

To have a chance to meet you once…

That to me is more than enough.

To hear you call me ‘mother’

That to me is all that I need….to continue living through any suffering.

That’s why you must avert your eyes and escape.

Live for both of our sakes….Seita.

009

Hinowa: You’re my…and Yoshiwara’s

Hope.

All of us are women here, but yet not a single of us can claim the title of ‘mother.’

All of the women in Yoshiwara…

Took you in as their own child.

As long as you were alive and among us…

We felt like the chains of hell had lightened enough for us to live under.

Our hardships seemed like nothing.

That’s why we did everything in our power….

To ensure that you could go and live freely.

Now quickly…

Run away.

Housen: Heheheh..

It’s like watching 8 years ago all over again.

010

Housen: That woman tried her hardest to run to the world above with that ‘hope’ of yours…

It’s exactly the same as that.

Maybe the person is different…

But it doesn’t change the fact that you women are just dying to get out of here with the little man.

(Sfx- Gatsu *Grip*)

Housen: You’d think you would have learned from his mom dying Hinowa…

You escorts should just stay down here and stay quiet…rather than playing mommy.

You don’t need motherhood.

I will grant you the proof of this.

(Sfx- Jakiitsu *Swiing*)

Housen: By killing the little man.

Kamui: Oh dear, to think you’d get this burned up over a little issue.

This isn’t like the teacher that I used to know.

011

Kamui: It seems like you haven’t progressed a bit from 8 years ago have you?

Scarring escorts, toting them around as your property, and then stealing what little they have so they can’t leave your side.

It seems to me boss, that this woman…

Isn’t just some diversion of yours, but a thing necessary for you to function.

Housen: Heheheh…

A necessary thing? What is going on in that head of yours?

It’s the opposite.

I’ve got everything a man could dream of. Power, women and money.

However there’s one thing that even I haven’t been able to get in my possession.

I the Night king, don’t even have an opponent that I can call worthy.

In this world’s underbelly, I can get what I pursue and run to where I want to.

However the existence of this everlasting darkness never changes.

Us yato, have to dwell in an abdominal way in the darkness.
A matchless race of monsters who has no natural enemy except…

012

Housen: That’s right…

The sun.

The yato aren’t the only one who suffer with this fate…there are people who lose the light in their eyes…

And struggle against the light until they finally descend into the darkness…their soul unredeemable.

This is the most sublime face.

One that provokes even the sun.

I thirst for this.

I can drink as much booze as I want, and hold on to how many ever women I want…

And when the time comes bathe in the blood of others…

But as for my thirst for the sun…

There’s nothing I’ve found that can quench it.

013

Housen: I cannot bring the sun down here…

Which is why I have no reason to kill her.

I saved her splendid face from becoming dirty, and turned it into something that won’t even yield to the sun.

To have something like this in my possession is worth chasing after.

If I can’t have the sun in my possession..

Then I will use this as a replacement to quench my thirsty soul. There can be no other.

Hinowa…

I will destroy everything that you hold dear, so that you have no choice but to stay in the palm of my hand.

So sink deep into my palm

Because you are my property!

Seita: If ya wanna sink, go do it on ya own!

(Sfx- Zatsu *Swif*)

014

(Sfx- Yota yoro *wobble wriggle.*)

Seita: Someone like you ain’t gonna catch the sun by tryin’ to sink it

As long as it’s sunny out, the sun’ll keep comin’ up!

If you’re the clouds that cover up tha’ sun in the sky..

Then I’m gonna be the sun that blasts ‘em away!

(Sfx- Zatsu!! *Shwiiing!*)

Seita: If you’re the clouds that are blockin’ ma’s face from bein’ seen…

Then I’m gonna be tha’ hero that brings her smile back!

Housen: Little man….you…

Hinowa: Seita! Put me down!

You can’t possibly lift an adult and hope to escape from Yoshiwara!!

Seita: Quit bein’ so noisy!

(Sfx- yoro yoro *wobble wobble*)

Seita: I know that it wasn’t easy to give birth to me either was it?

015

(Sfx- Yoro *Wobble*)

Seita: When a kid’s little, they haveta get rides on their folks’s backs. This time I’m going to change around things and carry ya.

That’s what it is to be parent and child.

So let me lend ya my back.

I ain’t gonna let it end simply ‘cause you can’t lend me yours.

I have quite a few ma’s

If I’m gonna suddenly be their son…

I gotta be able to do this much at least.

No matter what weight comes, I’ll lend ya my back.

I can do this much easy!

And I’ll lift ya with a smile dammit!

Hinowa: Seita…

???: This seems like such a nice story we got ‘ere.

(Sfx-Dokakakakakak *twoktwoktwoktwok*)

Housen: This is…

016

(Sfx- Zatsu zatsu zatsu zatsu *Tap tap swif swif swif*)

Tsukuyo: If ya talkin’ about need’n a hand or a back…

All of us are here.

All 49 of us.

(Sfx- DON *BAAM*)

017

Tsukuyo: I’d be happy to oblige helpin’ out a son like him.

Hinowa: Tsukuyo!!
Housen: You fools…

What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to betray me, the Night King? You know what this means right?

Tsukuyo: Yeah, I know.

Sorry but we ain’t takin’ orders no more.

Yoshiwara’s sun has been somethin’ that we’ve only heard in bedtime stories.

We’ve been takin’ what ya’ll men been tellin’ us too long.

Look at that man over there…

Ta’ think I said I’d leave it to him….pathetic.

018

Tsukuyo: Don’t even joke around like that.

You said some pretty high ‘n’ mighty stuff before…

Sayin’ you gonna bring back the sun.

But when I see ya’ll again you’re on ya back like a fool.

How ‘bout a pick me up?

(Sfx- shigaaaaaaaaaa *swiiiiiiiiish*)

(Sfx- oooooooooooooo)

(Sfx- Bishiiiiii *Swiiiish*)

019

Gintoki: Come on now…

For a pick me up, this is pretty bad.

If you want the sun…

Can’t you get it on your own?

You seem to have…

Plenty of help.

(Side text- The light shines on…..Gin-san is back!!)
