Gintama 313
We are all soldiers in the war against fate...
Poor poor Kondo. If I drank or watched porn, I'd offer you both man.
Checked. Hi wa mata noboru only.
Tae: Okay.
I'm actually quite a fan of baseball, so I suppose going with you to a game would be fun.
(Side text- Seriously?)
GINTAMA
(Bottom text- Gintama character book Volume 1 is out in stores!! Volume two will be released in July!)
Kondo: I see, I figured you’d say no.
Well, I guess I'll go see if Shinpachi-kun wants to use these tickets that I worked so hard to get.
Tae: ......Um, were you listening to me?
I just said I’d go with you…
Kondo: I get it…
Together, eh? That's too bad......
Go with me?
Huh? I could swear you just said the opposite of no….
Tae: I said that I would like to go with you to the baseball game….
(Sfx- Buru buru *shake shake*)
Kondo: Ho---hoo…
002
Kondo: HOMERUUUUUUN!!!!
(Sfx- Biaaaaaaah *sssssssssssssht*)

Tae: You just ripped the tickets up…
Lesson 313: We are all soldiers in the war against fate…
SORACHI HIDEAKI.
Hijikata: Just as I thought, men value high degree, high income and high height.
(TN- All three words start with 'kou' hense the three 'k's.)
Kondo: You shouldn’t underestimate the three K’s Toshi, Sougo.
{As far as K's go, one Ketsuge is good enough for me.}
{You stick one ketsuge out and hone it well, never giving up. And if you keep striking, you can make it break through even a giant wall.}
(TN- The ‘K’ is for ‘ketsuge’ or ‘ass hair.’)
Kondo: Well I don't expect you trendy weak, non-competitive, vegetarian-type boys would understand.
(Sfx- Nyururururu *sploooort*)
Okita: Are you going to let a guy whos a dog food type talk smack?
Hijikata: Shut up, barbarian type.
Though, I wonder what her deal is all of a sudden?
No matter how much of a baseball fan she is, she's always been pretty severe in rejecting you. But now she's suddenly changed her tune?
Okita: Kondo-san, I think it’s pretty obvious that this is a trap.
As a fellow S-type, I can imagine what she may be thinking.
003
Kondo: Shaddup!!
(TN- He says that in English even!)
Kondo: Jealousy doesn’t fit you two, like beni-ke!!
Hijikata: Bennie K? I didn’t just hear that. I didn’t.
(TN- The Beni-ke that Kondo talks about seems to be a brand of loose fitting jeans. The BennieK that Hijikata talks about is a hip hop duo. So…they sort of work out….I think.)
Kondo: Even rain dripping from a roof can bore a hole in a roof if it remains steady and vigilant!
My persistent rain of love has wrenched open Otae-san's hard-shut thighs.
Hijikata: You know, all of those things you said can be taken to mean something completely obscene..
Anyway, it’s fine to be happy and all..but what’s the catch? There IS a catch right?
Kondo: NO! We’re just going to meet each other in front of the stadium on Sunday!
Sure, I’m not allowed to go anywhere near her shop after our little rendezvous,
Well, with this, we're starting to go out, so I don't need to follow her around and stuff like that anymore.
Okita: ......That doesn't sound like "not going anywhere near her afterwards".
It sounds more like she's finally going out with you once for fun, and would like to very neatly forget the whole thing the moment it's over!!
Kondo: Shut up, Hayashi family!!
(Sfx- Don *thunk*)
Okita: We’re not a family, dude.
Kondo: Nothing ventured nothing gained! So even if this is the last time, I won't be getting this big a chance again!!
I'll do everything I can to seize this first and last chance!!
I'll hit a turnabout miracle so-long home run and go back to the bench with Otae-san's hand in mine! You guys just watch!
I’m not going to mess this one up!!
The battle’s on Sunday, and I’m ready for it!!
004
(Sfx- Zzaaaaaah *sssssssssh*)
(Sfx- Byouooooo *fwoooooosh*)
Hijikata: There's a full-force typhoon.
Okita: Looks like the game is over, Kondo-san.
Kondo: 9 o’clock….
Man, I’d better get going, it’s unbecoming of a man to keep a woman waiting.
Hijikata: Kondo-san…
(Sfx- Basaaa *fwipp*)
Kondo: Gahahahah, Don’t worry about me! The weather is no big deal!
Whether it's raining water or raining spears, it'll never stop my rain of love.
So here I go!!
005
Hijikata: Kondo-san, there seems to be something sticking out of your arm.
(Sfx- Bushiii *bloooorsh*)
Kondo: …………
Eh?
(Sfx- Oooooooo *fwoooooosh*)
Shinsengumi guy: Vice captain!! There’s trouble sir!!
I have a report from an airplane flying over Edo!! It seems there was fire damage on part of their hull and some of their cargo is headed towards Edo!
Hijikata: I see….well that’s no problem.
They’re all falling right here.
(Sfx- Dododododododo *tmptmptmtmtmptmp*)
Kondo: GYAHHHHHHH!!!
It’s seriously raining speaaaaaaaaaaaaars!!!
How many bad omens are there gonna beeeee!?
I haven't even started on the "d" in "date" yet!!
(Sfx- Dododododdodo *Tmtmptmptmptmp*)
(Sfx- Meki *tap*)
(Sfx- Bakaaan *THOOOM*)
Kondo: WHAAAAAAAAAT?!
006
(Sfx- Dokashaaaaan *Craaaaaaaash*)
(Sfx- Para para *clatter clatter*)
(Sfx- Gatsu *grip*)
Kondo: Uggh…
What am I, a sponge for bad luck?
How did thing start going like this!? Even for bad luck, this is...
(Sfx- Hah hah)
(Sfx- Guiii *Squeeze*)
(Sfx- Biraa *fwipp*)
(Sfx- Basaaaa *fwiffff*)
Kondo: Gah!! The tickets!!
Wait! Please!!
(Sfx- Kiiiii *screeeeee*)
(Sfx- Dodoon *thump*)
Kondo: Guboroooooo
(Sfx- Dodoshaaa *craaaaaaaaash*)
Guy: Hey buddy! Didn’t your mama tell you to look both ways before crossing?!
Kondo: Guh---s-sorry…I’m—f—fine…
Guy: You’re bleeding…a lot.
Kondo: No..I’m good, haaaaack
007
{I…I can’t fall here…}
{I haven't even walked 50 meters yet, but I've already had 50 years' worth of bad luck coming at me one after another like rain. I'm already half dead.}
(Sfx- Yoro *wobble*)
(Sfx- Ze hah zeh)
{What's going on? And on the day of my date with Otae-san of all days.}
{Dammitall, I don’t have time to hang out here.}
{I WILL have this date with Otae-san.}
{First thing is first though, I have to get those tickets back, or I won’t be able to even get in!}
Kid: Hey look!
Aren’t those the tickets to today’s game?
Yocchan: Awesome. We wouldn't have enough people to play during the typhoon, so we've got time.
Other kid: Let's go see the game, Yocchan! Luck like this doesn't come every day.
Yocchan: Hmm, but everyone's waiting at the athletics center.
Kondo: Um~ Excuse me kids…
I hate to rain on your parade, but I kind of need those tickets…
Yocchan: What do YOU want old man?
Whoa, you look terrible dude.
Kondo: Yeah, I’ve been through some…things. But I’m not a bad person….
See, those tickets belong to me –I had dropped them earlier.
I know you guys might have picked them up, so I’d like to ask you to give them back.
C-cough.
Yocchan: Well if you just show up and say that all of a sudden...
Other kid: Show us some proof! If you can, we’ll think about it!
Kondo: Okay, fine- GEHOH!
What do you have in mind? How do you want me to prove that they’re mine? Or are you just after something in return?
Yocchan: ......Hmmmm, well we've got free time since there's a typhoon.
Let's go play some baseball at the gym. I was worried there wouldn't be enough people.
(Sfx- Hyooooooo *fwooooosh*)
Kondo: Yeah…that’s fine…
{Looks like somehow I've got some luck coming my way. I have the time, too. And with little kids as opponents it'll be fine.}
008
Nightmare Kagura: ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
(Sfx- DOGOOOOOOOO *THOOOOOOOM*)
(Sfx- Goooshaaaa *CRAAAAASH*)
Kid: Holy crap! That’s Kagura for ya! Her pitches are lethal!!
What are you doing over there pops?! The object is to catch the ball and then throw it back! And do ya think you could get less blood on it?!
(Sfx- Geohhh *cooooogh*)
Kondo: K…kay….
Kid: I knew it, even the old guy can't catch Kagura's pitch. Let's change teams and adjust the boundaries again.
Kondo: Waiiiit a minute-GEHO! Pops has things to do kids -GEHO!
Yocchan: Pops also doesn’t want the tickets anymore? Hmm?
Kondou: Okay!! Got it. But this time let me throw. I'm done being the catcher with China Girl as the pitcher. Different teams!!
009
Kondo: Okay, let’s do thi---
(Sfx- Bunn *fwip*)
Nightmare Kagura: ORAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
(Sfx- Dooouu *thoooomp*)
Kid: A straight pitch!!
You're awesome old guy! You put your body on the line to stop that one!! Awesome!!
Kondo: Yeah...
(Sfx- Zuzuuuuuu *DTHOOOM*)
Kids: Thanks pops!! Let’s play again!!
(Sfx- Zeh zheh zeh)
(On ticket- Beetle king battle! Decisive throw away match to determine runner-ups!! [Top]
Now see the forest king enter what will be an accordingly heated battle!!
This battle will be appropriately serious!! [Bottom left]
Kids: Let us know which battle was the best throwaway match!
{T…}
{TTHIS AIN'T LUCKY AT AAAAAAALL!!!!}
{I went through hell and back, and I only lost more time!!}
{I sense evil. Some invisible evil force is lurking around here! I know something out there is trying to cock block me!!}
{The tickets!! Where are MY tickets?!}
Kagura: What a nice thing to find on the ground!
010
Kagura: You should go with your brother to see them.
You like baseball, yes?
Girl: B-but I don’t think he can go…
He hasn’t left his room since then…
Kondo: THOSE!!
Where did you find those, China Giiiirl!!?
Kagura: I did not. Sachiko-chan did.
Kondo: Sachiko-chan! To be honest, those are my tickets!!
I really really need them! Please, could you give them back?
Sachiko: ……..
Is that so?
I thought it might have been a gift from God.
Teehee, but It’s too bad after all.
Okay... This time be careful so you don't drop them, okay mister?
Kondo: Th---Thanks.
Kagura: Are you sure? This might be your chance to get your hikikomori older brother to go outside.
(Sfx- Pikun *poit*)
Sachiko: It's fine. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't come out anyway.... And doing something like watching a baseball game would probably just open that old wound.
A long time ago, my brother loved baseball.
Every Sunday he would go out with daddy, and they’d play catch for hours by the river.
Sachiko: I would sit and watch them….it was so much fun.
But one day,
A ball my brother threw a ball that went unexpectedly high.
And when my Dad chased after it….
He never came back.
Heh…Daddy was a stubborn person…
I wonder how far he’d go to catch that ball?
011
Sachiko: You have to hurry and come back... the game of catch isn't over yet... Daddy.
(Sfx- Potan *drip*)
Sachiko: Big brother has been waiting since that time…
Brother has been waiting... for Daddy to bring the ball back......
Kagura: Sachiko-chan…
It will be okay...
...Are you sure?
I promise.
Really?
It will be.....okay.
Are you... all right with this?
(Sign- Yamada.)
Brother: HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS?!?
(Sfx- Dogooooooooo *THOOOOM*)
012
Kondo: UGHOOOH!
(Sfx- Dogo *thok*)
Sachiko: Brother!!
(Sfx- Geogahaaa)
Kondo: Yes…that’s how it should be.
You need to stop tossing balls to a past that won't come back. Cough...
A white ball is something... that should be thrown... toward the future.
Your baseball reached right into my heart kid…
I’m sure your father feels the same.
Sachiko: Thanks so much!
It’s because of you that my brother finally came back outside sir!
Kagura: You have done well, Gorilla!
Kondo: I’m glad to see that he’s recovered.
Now…If I could just have those tickets back....ugh….
Brother: Wait a moment!!
Before you go... could you catch one more ball?
Kondo: What?
Brother: This time I'm gonna throw it serious to you... and I'd like you to catch it seriously.
Kondo: Uh... I think that's plenty. I really got it the first time. Th... There's nothing left for me to teach you.
Kagura: You should try throwing it as hard as you can!!
Now you can really get back into playing catch again!
Kondou: Don't go saying unnecessary stuff like that. He may not look it, but Big Brother's actually got an incredibly hard throw
I can't even believe he's a hikikomori. Big Brother's throw's a super-fast ball!
Brother: Here goes!
Kondo: Wait! I don---
(Sfx- Zugoooooon *THOOOOM*)
Kondo: GAHHHHHH!!!
013
Kids: Thanks so much!!
(Sfx- Zehah zehah)
{Why does this happen to me…}
{Why does everyone take such delight in stopping me from getting to this date?}
{It’s like the heavens…}
{Are trying their damned hardest to keep Otae-san and me from hooking up.}
{No, that can't be... or at least I can't be sure. I'm not giving up!}
{I've got the tickets back and though I've lost some time, but there's still some left.}
{I still have a chance to hit a home run…}
Brother: What!?
They found dad?!
But I thought he had died…!
What?! He has amnesia?! So he's forgotten about...
There’s got to be something I can do!
Something to call back his memories...?
But How can I….
Ah…
014
Dad: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE HOTBLOODED FEELINGS IN THIS SWELLING CHEST OF MINE?!
(Sfx- DOGOOOOOO *THOOOOOD*)
Kondo: Guah…
(Sfx- Zushaaaaa *dsssssssh*)
Brother: Dad!!
Your memories came back!!
Dad: Yeah…amazing stuff catch is! Now I remember everything about our family and you two, my precious kids!
Sachiko: Daddy! I missed you so much!
I thought that I’d never see you again! Now we can keep playing catch!
Dad: Damn straight!
Sachiko: I don't know who you are, but thanks for everything.
It's thanks to playing catch with you that we got everything we lost back.
Dad: Do you need anything buddy?
Kondou: N... No.
The important thing is you guys were able to see each other again after so long.
Take these tickets…
and have a good time, together as a family.
Sachiko: Are you sure sir!?
Kondou: Yeah. I've already had plenty of fun for myself.
Sachiko: Thank you so much! I’ll never forget this!!
015
Kagura: Are you sure?
(Sfx- Yorooo *wobble*)
Kondo: Yeah.
It’s over.
I’ll never make it on time now…
{Otae-san and I were obviously not ment for each other, not in this world anyway…}
{That bastard called fate has stood firmly in my way, and made it clear that there’s not a damn thing I can do it about it.}
{Oddly enough, I’m almost positive that when I gave those kids the tickets…}
{The sky cleared up…}
Kondo: Heh..
I wonder if Otae-san…
Is still waiting for me?
Of course….
She isn’t.
(Sfx- Bururu *vzzzzt*)
016
Hijikata: Kondo-san.
Kondo: It’s you Toshi.
Hijikata: Sorry, it’s not your woman calling.
Kondo: Eh, I’m fine without her…
Maybe I should be like you and concentrate on my sword.
Hijikata: I see..
We have a situation here, and although I hate to bother you, I think you should know.
Kondo: Huh?
Hijikata: There's a meteorite that fell out of orbit and is headed to Edo.
Kondo: Wha?
HIjikata: It's not a big deal though, about the size of a baseball. It took a while to discover because it's so small. But our equipment has calculated that much.
It's due to fall in about 15 minutes..
Right at your date spot.
Kondo: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Hijikata: To be perfectly honest, at this stage all we can do is give out warning to take refuge. Well, it's not gonna cause too much damage anyhow, though.
But it looks like your date's screwed no matter what.
Well, I figured I should just give you a call.
I'm glad you're not close by. So you got it? Make sure you don't go near the dome, either...
Huh? Kondo-san?
(Sfx- tsu tsu *huff puff*)
Hijikata: Kondo-san?!
017
{I know for sure…}
{That Otae-san is there!}
{And the meteorite...}
{Is going to try to fall on Otae-san's head!!}
{From all my trying to alter fate...}
{Because I've gone against fate and have been planning to hook up with Otae-san...}
{It's turned from me...}
{and changed its target to Otae-san!}
{Please don't shove. Please stay calm and find shelter!!}
(Sfx- Kuwaaaaaa *roaaaar*)
Someone: Move outta my way!!
(Sfx- Dosaaa *thuddd*)
Tae: Kyah!
Dude: Look up there! It's the meteorite!!
Whaat? It's earlier than the predictions said!! We're still not even close to having all found shelter!
(Sfx- Oooooo *fwooooosh*)
People: It's coming straight this way!!
Hey, look! It's pinpointing a target!
Tae: Huh…?
Wait…am I…
It’s target?
Kondo: No.People: It's coming straight this way!!
018
(Sfx- Doooon)
Kondo: This one is for…
The pinch hitter, Kondo.
Tae: Ko…
Kondo-san!
Sachiko: Mister!!
We’re all ready here!
Dad: If you give it a good hit, we'll be here to stop it for ya!!
(Sfx- Kyuuu *sfft*)
Kondo: Hey fate!
I have no intention of walking the path of heaven.
(Sfx- Hyuiiiiii *weeeeeeeeeeee*)
Where I'll go is this path of romance. And...
to protect the people I love.
019
Kondo: This is…
MY SAMURAI PATH!!!

Yocchan: Pops also doesn’t want the tickets anymore? Hmm?
Kondou: Okay!! Got it. But this time let me throw. I'm done being the catcher with China Girl as the pitcher. Different teams!!
009
Kondo: Okay, let’s do thi---
(Sfx- Bunn *fwip*)
Nightmare Kagura: ORAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
(Sfx- Dooouu *thoooomp*)
Kid: A straight pitch!!
You're awesome old guy! You put your body on the line to stop that one!! Awesome!!
Kondo: Yeah...
(Sfx- Zuzuuuuuu *DTHOOOM*)
Kids: Thanks pops!! Let’s play again!!
(Sfx- Zeh zheh zeh)
(On ticket- Beetle king battle! Decisive throw away match to determine runner-ups!! [Top]
Now see the forest king enter what will be an accordingly heated battle!!
This battle will be appropriately serious!! [Bottom left]
Kids: Let us know which battle was the best throwaway match!
{T…}
{TTHIS AIN'T LUCKY AT AAAAAAALL!!!!}
{I went through hell and back, and I only lost more time!!}
{I sense evil. Some invisible evil force is lurking around here! I know something out there is trying to cock block me!!}
{The tickets!! Where are MY tickets?!}
Kagura: What a nice thing to find on the ground!
010
Kagura: You should go with your brother to see them.
You like baseball, yes?
Girl: B-but I don’t think he can go…
He hasn’t left his room since then…
Kondo: THOSE!!
Where did you find those, China Giiiirl!!?
Kagura: I did not. Sachiko-chan did.
Kondo: Sachiko-chan! To be honest, those are my tickets!!
I really really need them! Please, could you give them back?
Sachiko: ……..
Is that so?
I thought it might have been a gift from God.
Teehee, but It’s too bad after all.
Okay... This time be careful so you don't drop them, okay mister?
Kondo: Th---Thanks.
Kagura: Are you sure? This might be your chance to get your hikikomori older brother to go outside.
(Sfx- Pikun *poit*)
Sachiko: It's fine. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't come out anyway.... And doing something like watching a baseball game would probably just open that old wound.
A long time ago, my brother loved baseball.
Every Sunday he would go out with daddy, and they’d play catch for hours by the river.
Sachiko: I would sit and watch them….it was so much fun.
But one day,
A ball my brother threw a ball that went unexpectedly high.
And when my Dad chased after it….
He never came back.
Heh…Daddy was a stubborn person…
I wonder how far he’d go to catch that ball?
011
Sachiko: You have to hurry and come back... the game of catch isn't over yet... Daddy.
(Sfx- Potan *drip*)
Sachiko: Big brother has been waiting since that time…
Brother has been waiting... for Daddy to bring the ball back......
Kagura: Sachiko-chan…
It will be okay...
...Are you sure?
I promise.
Really?
It will be.....okay.
Are you... all right with this?
(Sign- Yamada.)
Brother: HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS?!?
(Sfx- Dogooooooooo *THOOOOM*)
012
Kondo: UGHOOOH!
(Sfx- Dogo *thok*)
Sachiko: Brother!!
(Sfx- Geogahaaa)
Kondo: Yes…that’s how it should be.
You need to stop tossing balls to a past that won't come back. Cough...
A white ball is something... that should be thrown... toward the future.
Your baseball reached right into my heart kid…
I’m sure your father feels the same.
Sachiko: Thanks so much!
It’s because of you that my brother finally came back outside sir!
Kagura: You have done well, Gorilla!
Kondo: I’m glad to see that he’s recovered.
Now…If I could just have those tickets back....ugh….
Brother: Wait a moment!!
Before you go... could you catch one more ball?
Kondo: What?
Brother: This time I'm gonna throw it serious to you... and I'd like you to catch it seriously.
Kondo: Uh... I think that's plenty. I really got it the first time. Th... There's nothing left for me to teach you.
Kagura: You should try throwing it as hard as you can!!
Now you can really get back into playing catch again!
Kondou: Don't go saying unnecessary stuff like that. He may not look it, but Big Brother's actually got an incredibly hard throw
I can't even believe he's a hikikomori. Big Brother's throw's a super-fast ball!
Brother: Here goes!
Kondo: Wait! I don---
(Sfx- Zugoooooon *THOOOOM*)
Kondo: GAHHHHHH!!!
013
Kids: Thanks so much!!
(Sfx- Zehah zehah)
{Why does this happen to me…}
{Why does everyone take such delight in stopping me from getting to this date?}
{It’s like the heavens…}
{Are trying their damned hardest to keep Otae-san and me from hooking up.}
{No, that can't be... or at least I can't be sure. I'm not giving up!}
{I've got the tickets back and though I've lost some time, but there's still some left.}
{I still have a chance to hit a home run…}
Brother: What!?
They found dad?!
But I thought he had died…!
What?! He has amnesia?! So he's forgotten about...
There’s got to be something I can do!
Something to call back his memories...?
But How can I….
Ah…
014
Dad: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE HOTBLOODED FEELINGS IN THIS SWELLING CHEST OF MINE?!
(Sfx- DOGOOOOOO *THOOOOOD*)
Kondo: Guah…
(Sfx- Zushaaaaa *dsssssssh*)
Brother: Dad!!
Your memories came back!!
Dad: Yeah…amazing stuff catch is! Now I remember everything about our family and you two, my precious kids!
Sachiko: Daddy! I missed you so much!
I thought that I’d never see you again! Now we can keep playing catch!
Dad: Damn straight!
Sachiko: I don't know who you are, but thanks for everything.
It's thanks to playing catch with you that we got everything we lost back.
Dad: Do you need anything buddy?
Kondou: N... No.
The important thing is you guys were able to see each other again after so long.
Take these tickets…
and have a good time, together as a family.
Sachiko: Are you sure sir!?
Kondou: Yeah. I've already had plenty of fun for myself.
Sachiko: Thank you so much! I’ll never forget this!!
015
Kagura: Are you sure?
(Sfx- Yorooo *wobble*)
Kondo: Yeah.
It’s over.
I’ll never make it on time now…
{Otae-san and I were obviously not ment for each other, not in this world anyway…}
{That bastard called fate has stood firmly in my way, and made it clear that there’s not a damn thing I can do it about it.}
{Oddly enough, I’m almost positive that when I gave those kids the tickets…}
{The sky cleared up…}
Kondo: Heh..
I wonder if Otae-san…
Is still waiting for me?
Of course….
She isn’t.
(Sfx- Bururu *vzzzzt*)
016
Hijikata: Kondo-san.
Kondo: It’s you Toshi.
Hijikata: Sorry, it’s not your woman calling.
Kondo: Eh, I’m fine without her…
Maybe I should be like you and concentrate on my sword.
Hijikata: I see..
We have a situation here, and although I hate to bother you, I think you should know.
Kondo: Huh?
Hijikata: There's a meteorite that fell out of orbit and is headed to Edo.
Kondo: Wha?
HIjikata: It's not a big deal though, about the size of a baseball. It took a while to discover because it's so small. But our equipment has calculated that much.
It's due to fall in about 15 minutes..
Right at your date spot.
Kondo: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Hijikata: To be perfectly honest, at this stage all we can do is give out warning to take refuge. Well, it's not gonna cause too much damage anyhow, though.
But it looks like your date's screwed no matter what.
Well, I figured I should just give you a call.
I'm glad you're not close by. So you got it? Make sure you don't go near the dome, either...
Huh? Kondo-san?
(Sfx- tsu tsu *huff puff*)
Hijikata: Kondo-san?!
017
{I know for sure…}
{That Otae-san is there!}
{And the meteorite...}
{Is going to try to fall on Otae-san's head!!}
{From all my trying to alter fate...}
{Because I've gone against fate and have been planning to hook up with Otae-san...}
{It's turned from me...}
{and changed its target to Otae-san!}
{Please don't shove. Please stay calm and find shelter!!}
(Sfx- Kuwaaaaaa *roaaaar*)
Someone: Move outta my way!!
(Sfx- Dosaaa *thuddd*)
Tae: Kyah!
Dude: Look up there! It's the meteorite!!
Whaat? It's earlier than the predictions said!! We're still not even close to having all found shelter!
(Sfx- Oooooo *fwooooosh*)
People: It's coming straight this way!!
Hey, look! It's pinpointing a target!
Tae: Huh…?
Wait…am I…
It’s target?
Kondo: No.People: It's coming straight this way!!
018
(Sfx- Doooon)
Kondo: This one is for…
The pinch hitter, Kondo.
Tae: Ko…
Kondo-san!
Sachiko: Mister!!
We’re all ready here!
Dad: If you give it a good hit, we'll be here to stop it for ya!!
(Sfx- Kyuuu *sfft*)
Kondo: Hey fate!
I have no intention of walking the path of heaven.
(Sfx- Hyuiiiiii *weeeeeeeeeeee*)
Where I'll go is this path of romance. And...
to protect the people I love.
019
Kondo: This is…
MY SAMURAI PATH!!!
(Sfx- Kakatsuuu *THSEEEEEN*)
Kondo: HERE’S MY…
FAREWELL HOME RUN!!!
(Sfx- Gyuraaaaa *whrirrrrrrrr*)
(Sfx- Syagagagaa *shruruuuu*)
(Sfx- Gosu *thok*)
(Sfx- Hyoiii *wifff*)
(Sfx- Kororo *spnnnn*)
Tae: Farewell.
(Sfx- Sudodooon *THOOOM*)
Kondo: GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
(Side text- Home run!!)
