Gintama 309

Weird chapter title aside....I'd say that our Gorilla has grown up a little bit, hasn't he?

GINTAMA

SORACHI HIDEAKI
Lesson 309: How do you do!!
(TN- お控えなすって!! Is apparently a Yakuza greeting. I guess the best translation is 'How do you do?' I wanted to gangsterize this, but since it pops up again later in a less than gangsteriffic place, I decided to leave it alone.)
Otose: My my, looks like the nosiest of them all has opened his eyes…
Any hope I had for getting some rest is gone now…
They really should have taken more care when selecting our hospital rooms..
Or is it normal for them to put the victim and her attacker next to each other?

002
Jirouchou: This isn’t a hospital…
But a freak show…
(Sfx-Bishaaaaa *fwssssssh*)
(Sfx- Guu guuu *snrre snerrr*)
Otose: YOU SAY SOMETHING BEECHWOOD BREATH?!
Jirouchou: Looks like in one way or another,
we managed to survive…
Otose: Not ‘survive’ but continued living.
You know, your daughter has been here three days and nights…
Without resting.
Moreover, when you collapsed from all of your wounds, she took care of you despite the fact that it would be better for her to run.
I swear. You two have to be the most annoying father and daughter pair I have ever seen.

003
Jirochou: I’ve got nothing to say to that.
Seeing that you even managed to live through me stabbing you, old bat.
Otose: I don’t want to hear that from you,
Stubborn old man.
Jirouchou: So you think I’m a stubborn fool too huh?
But in comparison to you guys, I’m no more than a doddering old man.
I’ve met a lot of guys, but not a single one of them could even begin to compare to him.
Though, I guess that’s because he was the most stubborn and inflexible bastard I’ve ever met.
We’d fight ourselves half to death because no one wanted to lose.
Otose: For someone who got beaten,
You sure look pleased.
Jirochou: Yeah…
It’s been a while since I’ve had a brawl like that.

004
Jirochou: A man to man duel.
I got my ass handed to me pretty bad…
Yet I’m grinning from ear to ear.
I had to abandon my path plenty of times to keep my promise…
But that guy…
In order to keep his promise, he took on everything….
Even me.
My chains…
When did they rust away to this extent…?
My head was dangling over, ripe for the picking….all because of this promise…
And he shattered it.

005
Jirouchou: With you guys here, My….
No, our city will be protected..
Twenty years. Twenty long years of slaving away, trying my best to keep my word,
And in the end, all I have to show for it is a bitter sense of unhappiness…
And the knowledge that I couldn’t keep one promise.
Otose…
I’ve…
You’ve been through plenty because of me,
And it was all for nothing.
In the end,
I can’t even repay what you’ve done for me.

006
Jirouchou: I’m sorry….
For taking your happiness.
Otose: Jirouchou…
You know, I….
(Sfx- Dotusuuu *thooood*)
(Sfx- Para para *clatter clatter.*)
Hasegawa: Owww…

007
Saigou: What are you fools doing?! It was just getting good too!!
(Sfx- Gabaaaa *fwisssh*)
Katsuo: I tol’ you fools to keep it quiet dint’ I?! What in tarnation were ya doin’ huh?!
Thug: Bro, it’s because this camera is too big…
Katsuo: Don’t give me yer excuses dammit! How are we gonna commemorate pops’s love scene now huuuuh?! Stuff like this almost never happens, ya hear?!
Tae: Leave it to the men to ruin a sentimental moment. Rather than barging in like that, how about you try having some delicacy?
Katsuo: I’ll try it when ya put yer phone down!!
Tama: Stop this at once everyone. Otose’s been embarrassed enough already, so we should withdraw and come back later.
Recording mode ‘Off’.
(Sfx- Pitsu *piin*)
Catherine: You talk big, but I’m sure I heard you turn something off just now!! You were recording everything weren’t you?!
Nurse: HEYYY!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE SO LATE?!
(Sfx- Gyah gyah*)
Gengai: Just visiting.
Nurse: DO YOU ALWAYS VISIT SICK PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL WHILE CARRYING BOOZE?!
Katsuo: Ain’t no need to be so stiff ya’ll! That war’s ovah, so lets party on yeah?!
Hasegawa: The hell are you talking about?! This is our booze dammit! You guys are dirty rats right? So go get some mud and have a blast!!
Katsuo: What’cha talkin bout there huh?! Who do ya think brought tha ol’ bat to the roof and waited on standby huh?!
Catherine: Shut your dirty trap! Who’s fault was all of this from the beginning huh?!
(Sfx- Gyah gyah *rabble rabble*)
(Sfx- Dota *thud*)
(Sfx- Dota *thud*)
(Sfx- Dokashaaa *crssssh*)
Otose: Jirouchou,
Have a look.

008
Otose: Kabuki-chou,
The city that you and Tatsugorou protected,
Has inherited your wills.
And it’s because your souls dwell here…
That everyone can act this ridiculous.
The next generation has already taken the protection of this town upon their shoulders…
And the promises they have created are endless, Jirouchou.
Jirochou: Otose…
Otose: So now,
You have to put aside that promise.
You have plenty of your own,
That you have to see through to the end.

009
Otose: I’m really happy now,
Jirouchou.
That here in Kabuki-chou,
I was able to meet Tatsugorou,
Everyone,
And most especially you Jirochou,
The one I treasure the most.
(Sfx- Ton *pat*)

010
Both: Thank you for everything,
Jirochou.
(Sfx- Goshitsu *pat*)
Jirochou: Crap..
I think my eyes are going bad…
I thought my pee stream was the only thing out of whack…
But now it’s moved further up….
It sucks,
To get old…
(Sfx- Zazatsu *swifff*)

011
Kada: Listen well. The Shitenou are weak now…
Don’t bother with the rest of those fools, your target is them.
If they are to fall, the rest of those roaches will be easy enough to exterminate.
I’ll take good care of you all…
Be sure of that, Shitenou.
(Sfx- Doshaauuuu *bllooorosh*)
Pirako: I’ve been waiting for you Kada-sama~~
Kada: Yo…
You!!
(Sfx- Doshaaaaa *bllssssh*)
Pirako: You might fool men,
But women don’t fall for the same trick twice.
Sorry, but I’m gonna need you guys to leave~
Pops has no need,
To see your faces any more.
So please find your way outta here or else~

012
Kada: Out of the way, you brat!!!
(Sfx- Datsu *dash*)
Kada: The one who needs to get out of the way is you!! You’re the biggest hindrance here!!
Pirako: I know that much already.
But annoyances have to be dealt with.
(Sfx- Dotsuuu *bllooorsh*)
Pirako: I guess that means,
That we’ll be bowing out together.
Kada: You’re the only one who will be dealt with here and now!!
(Sfx- Shakiii *shfff*)
(Sfx- Dotsu *thok*)
(Sfx- Doshaaa *thuuud*)

013
Pirako: Bro!
Shinpachi: We’re not here to demand money for services rendered.
Kagura: Even if you were to defeat them, you are mistaken to think your sins are forgiven!!
Gintoki: Yeah, something like that, Pirako-chan.
Pirako: My role in this is over now.
(Sfx- Zatsu *swiff*)
(Sfx- karan *clatter*)
Pirako: I guess you guys can slice, dice and cook me if you want.
Gintoki: You sure? Are you really gonna let things end like this between you and daddy dearest?
Pirako: I understand everything~
If pops isn’t here, this city is in trouble…
Pops, no Jirouchou has had only one flower this whole time, and it’s name is Kabuki-chou.
I don’t have the confidence to take that away from him.
It hurts but…
I just don’t have the confidence to take on an entire city.

014
Pirako: It’s fine, really…
The pops I met here, isn’t the same person that mom and I waited for…
So I should,
Go home now.
Bro,
And all of you with the Yorozuya..
I know this apology doesn’t even begin to cover what I’ve done to you guys, but please accept it…
(Sfx- Zaza *sffft*)
Pirako: Thank you for,
Allowing me to meet with my pops.
After all this,
I wasn’t able to be a good daughter to him,
Or student to you, bro.
But I’m happy that I was able to meet..
Everyone in this town.
Please take this as your payment for services…

015
Gintoki: Sorry but,
I’m not a sadist that enjoys bullying crying girls. Besides, I’m already tired as hell.
Just go to the place written on that note.
Clean your cuts and scrapes up.
Once you get there, you can cry a river if you like.
(Sfx- Kiiiii *reeeee*)
(Sfx- Batan *slam*)
Glasses guy: Huh?
You want to know who’s the toughest guy in Kabuki-chou?
From out of town, are ya?
I’ll admit you’ve got some balls, but punks like you are killed around here for less than that.
When I was younger, there were plenty of guys like you around…
But this city’s become much more dangerous since then.
The Shitenou’s there, but only kind of. Kada’s been ousted, and Jirochou’s in retirement.
The delicate balance of power that’s been holding up since now is beginning to fall apart,
Since this year, the town’s been underneath a tension that’s far above average.

016
(No text- Just happy townsfolk.)

017
Pirako: Bro, is…that you?
???: How do you do?
(Sfx- Zatsu *swiff*)
???: I was born and raised in Edo’s Kabuki-chou.
I lead a rough life in a rough city, and became a hoodlum. I abandoned myself in order to learn the ways of the blade,
But when I did that, I turned deaf ears to the brothers who tried to save me from such a path.
I have many names, ranging from ‘The big boss’ to ‘Mr. Grand chivalry.’
But today, I toss aside those titles.
(Sfx- Basatsu *swfff*)

018
Jirochou: And become Chin Pirako’s father.
A pleasure to meet you. My name is Jirochou.
If I may be so rude,
May I ask for your name?
Pirako: I---I’m…
Edo…from Kabuki-chou….
The newest member of the Yorozuya clan…
Traveling to find my missing father….
And it’s because of my siblings’s passionate chivalry,
That I found myself here.
I am, Jirochou’s daughter…
Chin Pirako.

019
Jirochou: To meet in a place like this must be the workings of fate.
If it pleases you, shall we continue our journey together?
(Side text- To where we belong….)
Jirouchou: I’m home.
