Gintama 336

So I'm in the hospital as I write this. Turns out the flu was a nasty case of bronchitis and strep, yet I'm still translating. I can't breathe out of my nose at all, and I still got a Gintama done. Hahah, with a work ethic like this, I should be like emperor of the world or something. Hahahhahah *cries.*

Hi wa mata noboru scans only.



GINTAMA

(Side text- The last 'Gintama' of the year!)

Lesson 336: Even a new years party has things you should never forget.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

(Sfx- Kaaan claaang)

(Middling text- The anime returns April 2011!!//On January 8th, Jump next goes on sale with a special commemorative anime cover!!//Don't forget that the latest volume #37 is in stores everywhere!!)

???: Here's to a year of great work!!

Shinpachi: Wow~ I can't believe another year has ended.

It was like a blur! I remember we were just doing a Christmas chapter around this time last year.

Kagura: It is not strange, many things have happened to us this year.

The anime ended, and we were fighting on our own for a while. We also managed to get a movie, and have a one shot serialized at the same time as a normal chapter.

It was fierce fighting, even though we only had nine pages at that time.

Shinpachi: Those...don't seem like things that we should remember though..

How about we try to take this time out to reminisce over the good times?

After all, the anime restarts next year, and that just means more work for us.

So we need to change our attitude and start with our best foot forward, Right Gin-san?

002

Gintoki: THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE FESTIVE!!

(Sfx- Paaan slaap)

Kagura: Gin-chan! Why would you do that?

Gintoki: What crap are you spouting? Talking about 'the year is already over'....?

Shinpachi: This is the new years party, right?

Gintoki: You know the saying 'Going to a hundred villages means slacking off on ninety of them.' right?
If not, let me break it down for you. The closer a guy gets to completing his goal, the easier it is for things to get all screwed up.

Not having vigilance invites failure!

Yeah, it's out that the anime is going to resume.

So now we're in a tight spot. The worst thing that could happen to us is some scandal pulling us off the air before we even hit the screens.

What we need to do now is ever so carefully -step by step- make our way to the starting date WITHOUT anything screwing us up.

Doing things halfassed is gonna put us in a situation that we can't repair if we're not careful.

Shinpachi: ...Yeah, I'm sorry...I guess I was taking things too lightly..

Kagura: It is to be expected of Gin-chan, he is cool headed even during the new years party.

Gintoki: I've got a cassette tape here that explains just how being 'cool' works. If we want to have a cool new years party, first we have to listen to this.

Listen, I'm sorry for popping you like that Shinpachi...

But this is our new years party, and we have to watch what we're doing. No hard liquor, just stick to water. Okay?

Shinpachi: Sure.

003

Gintoki: Allrighty, let me pour the drinks.

Shinpachi: THAT'S KIND OF DANGEROUS!!

(Sfx- Toku toku glub glub.)

Gintoki: Dude, what's YOUR problem? This is just oolong tea.

Everyone knows I love the stuff, I'm Kabuki-chou's prince.

(Sfx- Gan gan thump thump)

Shinpachi: You're the one who's acting like this is no big deal!! In the very end, you're the most dangerous element here!!

Kagura: Now now Pattan, there's no need to go overboard. We must be cool.

Shinpachi: B-But, he's so annoying!!
Kagura: It will be fine. Should things end up that way...

In certain circumstances we probably won't be able to answer,

However, law is grounded by evidence, and as long as we are professional,

And keep those two magic words in mind, we will be fine.

(Handwritten- Keep the anime off the air!!)

(Handwritten- Resign!!)

Shinpachi: THIS ISN'T A SATIRE MANGA!! Or..is it?

Gintoki: One year has passed man, we should totally take this chance to look back on what we've accomplished.

Shinpachi: BUT YOU GUYS ARE RECALLING THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED!!

004

Shinpachi: Wait...are you already drunk?

C'mon, can you try to enter the new year somewhat sober? Today's the last day you know...

All I'm asking is that you watch how much you drink, okay?

Gintoki: Dude, simmer. I can hold my liquor, and this little eensy-weensy drink is not going to end up with me committing some deplorable act.

So just drink your ashtray oolong tea.

Shinpachi: But...

(Sfx- Zatsu swfff)

Otose: What's this, having some drinks? You people sure are cold.

Gintoki: And the gang's here.

Hey! Bring more booze!

You can put it on Otose's tab!

Otose: Who the hell do you think you are, permhead?

Kyuubee: I guess the Yagyuu family could fund this...

Tae: No need for that, Kyuu-chan! Mr. Glasses here is going to handle the drinks with his paycheck!
Hasegawa: I got a job y'all!!

Shinpachi: Will Gin-san be okay?

Kagura: It is only once a year. Let him drink as much as he wants.

Shinpachi: Yeah...

I just hope nothing happens....

005

(Sfx- Pichku pachiku)

(Sfx- Chuun chuun tweet tweet)

Gintoki: Urrg...

Oww...

My head...

I had one drink too many...

What the hell happened yesterday....

Crap, I can't remember.

006

Gintoki: More like...

Where the hell am I?

Why am I...

Naked?

This is...

(Sfx- Biku poit)

007

{H—Hold on...}

{T—Thi--This can't be for real...}

{W—Wait...s—seriously?}
{Could I have....}

{Over estimated my K point...}

{When I made that juuuuuuuuuump?}

(TN- There isn't an English wiki for this, but according to the Japanese and German one, it's the point of landing after making a jump in Ski events. The K-point.)

{What the freak am I doing in a Shounen mangaaaaa?! This is the definition of a scandal!!}

{I drank enough booze for THIS to happen?!}

{H—Holy crap...when the PTA gets a hold of this, not only will the anime be canned...}

{But the manga serialization is doomed too!!}

{I gotta keep my shirt on....er...I mean calm down. I just have to remember what I did last night....maybe nothing happened....}

{Dammit! I can't remember anything! That's a shame though, I'm sure it was awesome...WAIT what am I thinking about right now?! I have to get my mind straight!}

{Moreover, who is this anyway? I don't even know that much!}

{A one night stand....but I pray to god it's someone I know...!!}

008

Otose: Mmm..

(Sfx- Pori pori scrtch sctrcth)

(TN- And there it is. The infamous page 8. Icons, childbirth, and maybe even legends of yesteryear will begin on this page.)

009

{I miscalculated the K point so bad,}

{That I friggin punctured the ozone layer!!!}

(Sfx- Oeeeeeeeeeeeeee blooooooooooorsh)

(Sfx- Bicha bicha plorp plorp)

(Sfx- Uboroororo *unghhhhhhh)

(Sfx- Zeha zeha)
(Sfx- Chira glance)

(Sfx- Zeha zehah)

(Sfx- Chira glance)

(Sfx- Oeeeeeeeeeeeeee bloooooooorsh)

(Sfx- Zeha zeah)

Gintoki: Um...I....

Really don't remember anything.....sorry...

{Why would I do something so terrible?! Why didn't I stop myself sooner? This is so freaking naaaaaasty!!}

010

Otose: I---is that so...?

I don't remember either.

{Heeeey!! Look at me when you say that!! Don't act all ladylike on me now fossssil!! LOOK AT MEEE!}

Otose: But isn't this just peachy?

Since none of us remember anything....

Maybe absolutely nothing happened...

So lets do each other a favor and forget this little incident.

{HOW COULD I EVER FORGET THIS DAAAAAAY?! THIS ISN'T AN EVENT I CAN JUST TURN MY BACK ON!!}

Gintoki: Y...yeah...

Lets do that.

{Let's do what? Lets never do ANYTHING again!! Let's not even talk! This is so creepy!!}

Otose: All right, this is creepy.

Besides I doubt anything really happened anyway.

Gintoki: R—right.

Nothing happened, we got drunk and passed out in the same bed. That's it.

Otose: Time to go back home,

Before everyone begins to worry...

but let's go in different directions...

No need for any misunderstandings to start....

{HOW COME THIS SEEMS LIKE A COHABITATION GONE WROOOONG?!}

Otose: S—see you.

Gintoki: Y—yeah.

{It's like a bar waitress waking up beside one of her customers damittt!!}

011

{GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!}

{UWAH AH AH AH AH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!}

{THIS IS SO WROOOOOOONG!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO BLAME MORE!! THE BOOZE OR ME?!}

(Sfx- Oeeeeeee huuuuuuuuurk)

{Goddamit, I think I just hurled up some gastric juices...}

(Sfx- Zehhh)

{What the hell do I do now?! I can't ever talk to the old bat again!! Why of all people did I have to do her?!}

{How the freak did things end up this way?!}

{Didn't Shinpachi say something about this...?}

{It's only been a day, but I feel like i've flown far away from those guys..}

{It feels like the Yorozuya was only a distant memory of years past! How can I go back to living normally after this?!}

{What kind of face should I put on once I go back in there?}

{More like, where the hell did everyone go? What happened after we parted from each other?}

{If I really did the nasty....}

{What do I do?}

{C—crap...}

{I can't go back...}

(Sfx- Uro uro wiff wiff)

Tama: Welcome back.

(Sfx- Bikuh Poit)

012

Tama: Returning home this morning, Gintoki-sama?

Gintoki: I---I'm NOT coming back this morning!!

Tama: It is the morning though.

Gintoki: Stop saying 'morning'!!

I...I...woke up early and went to throw out some garbage! It's not like I drank too much! H—hahaha!

Tama: I don't necessarily mind, it's just that Otose-sama also returned this morning.

Did the two of you go to take out the garbage together...?

Gintoki: WE DIDN'T!! WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TRASH DISPOSAL PLACES!! IT'S NOT LIKE WE SLEPT TOGETHER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! QUIT MAKING CRAP UP!!

Tama: I'm not sure what you're talking about...

What is it that I've made up or misunderstood?

Gintoki: Huh? Well um... hurk! Crap, I still feel pretty terrible!!

Tama: Are you going to be okay?

Just what happened to you after the party?

Gintoki: To be honest, I really don't have any idea of what happened...

Tama: Well, Kagura-sama fell asleep, and Shinpachi-sama took her home.

Catherine was the third one to fall asleep, due to over drinking, and I ended up carring her home. The others there continued drinking well into the night.
Gintoki: O—okay. Who does that leave?

Tama: Otose-sama, Otae-sama, Kyuubee-sama, and Hasegawa-sama.

Though, I believe the ninja and a lady from Yoshiwara also joined in later on that night.

013

{Cool, so Shinpachi and Kagura don't know of my embarrassing little stunt.}

{The problem her is the adults...}

{Although they were all probably too drunk to remember anything either...}

Tama: Gintoki-sama?

{But what if they DO know something? If this gets out, I'll be labeled a pervert for sure...}

{I'm still too far in the grey to go back home. I have to put things in black and white...}

{But as long as I don't remember much, I guess I can't return...}

Gintoki: 'Scuse me...?

Tae: Yees?

(Handwritten- Ow, my head...)

Tae: G—Gin-san...

Gintoki: Yeah, uh...about yesterday...

I just wanted to make sure that Shinpachi-chan got back okay...

Oh and of course I was worried about you...you did drink quite a bit..

{….Why is she not looking at me...?}

Tae: I'm f—fine. Where I work, I have to have a high tolerance for alcohol.

{Hey! I'm over here! Look at me!!}

{Hey, she's totally hiding something!!}

{Does she know what the hag and I did...?!}

(Sfx- Dokun throb)

014

{She DOES know something! I have to find out what she remembers!!}

Tae: D—Don't worry about me...

It was a temporary lapse of judgment because of the sake...

We should both just forget that night ever happened.

{Don't lie to meeeee!! You know everything don't you! Craaaaaaap, she totally thinks I'm a pervert!!}

Tae: I'll keep it a secret from Shin-chan...

Gintoki: W-w-w-wait! To be honest, I don't remember last night...

So please, if you know something tell me...

Tae: You don't remember....

(Sfx- Futsuh swff)

(Sfx-Dogooooooo BAAAM)

Gintoki: UGH!!

015

Gintoki: Cough~!

Tae: You....

You take a girl's purity, and then come back and claim you DON'T REMEMBER?!

You're a dog! The worst kind of man! You're completely enslaved to your liquor!!

I never thought you were this bad!!

Never show your face in this place again!!

(Sfx- Gararara claaaaaaaater)

(Sfx- Pishaaa shut)

{My....}

{Pur...i.ty...?}

{Wait she's talking about her self, and not the old crone...}

{I mean, granny can't have any purity left, whether it be on the inside or outside...}

{….....}

{What...?}

{WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!}

(Sfx- Don don don don don thump thump thump thump)

Gintoki: KYUBEE-KUUUUUUUUUUN!!

PLEASE OPEN THE DOOOR!!!

{No...no way..... I couldn't have?!}

Gintoki: PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN!!

Open the doooor!!

{I didn't just defile the old lady...but Otae too?!}

{That's ridiculous! I refuse to believe that steaming pile of crap!}

Gintoki: It's opening!

(Sfx- Giii grnnnd)

Gintoki: Kyuubee-kun! I need to talk to you about something! What happened at our little shindig yesterday.....?!

016

Toujou: At long last you're here!! Welcome!

(Sfx- Zatsu swiff)

Toujou: A hearty welcome to...

The next head of the Yagyuu clan, Gintoki-sama!

I'm so grateful...!!

That at long last, the lingering manhood within the young master, was felled last night by you!

To be honest, the young master had sequestered herself in her room crying endleslly...

(Sfx- Bun bun fwif wfff)

Toujou: But she's now got confidence and has made the decision...

The young master..

(Sfx- Zatsu swff)

Toujou: Is determined to be your princess!!

(TN- Why is she making that cute pouty face? Ffffffff)

017

Binbokusai: Hmm...well if he's the leader of the Yagyuu clan, I’m sure we'll prosper...

But are you sure this is what you want, Kyuubee?

Kyuubee: It cannot be helpled...

We did...that after all..

So I can't be just a woman any more...

Toujou: Gintoki, you'll have to take responsibility....

(Sfx- Datsu getthehelloutofthere)

Toujou: Ah! Gintoki-sama!! Where are you going?!

Don't let him escape!!

(Sfx- Kuwaaaaaaaa roaaaaaaaar)

Toujou: He is the one who will open the doors to the Yagyuu clan, and the young master's future!!

(Sfx- Dodododododo tmpmptmptmtpm)

(Sfx- oooooo fwooooosh)

(Handwritten- T-that's..!)

Sacchan: Too bad Yagyuu-san!!

I the phantom thief love shadow will be taking your groom!!

I've had the pleasure of meeting him long before you! When we were a pair of phantom thieves!!

He's already stolen something precious from me...

And that's my Virgi---
(Sfx- Paaan Splat)

018

???: Bichigusomaru scores a direct hit!!

Hurry, hurry to where they fell and get Gintoki-sama before he escapes!!

(Sfx- Kusaaaaaaaa weeoooo)

(Sfx- Bagasaaa thump)

(Sfx- Kuwaaaaaaaaaa roaaaaaaaar)

(Sfx- Basasasaa tftfffff)

{Just what the hell...}

{DID I DO?!}

Dude: Hey look! The escorts are walking by!

Hot damn, they're smokin'!

But I think I remember seeing that escort there..

I remember hanging out in a shop near Yoshiwara, last time I saw her...

Oh, she's a diamond in the rough....

(Sfx- Shariii jangle)

Dude: I'll bet you'd have to withdraw your life savings to get a night with her...

(Sfx- Shariiii jangle)

019

Tsukuyo: Two hundred million.

Good luck, earnin' all that money and payin' me back.

Dude: Two hundred million?

Damn, that guy's got one huge wallet.

{H...}

{How many atrocities could I commit...}

{IN ONE NIGHHHHHHT!?}

{This is stupid!!}

{How can I not remember doing anything....anything at all?!}

(Sfx- Zatsu sfff)

Gintoki: Hasegawa-san...

What did I do yesterday...

Hasegawa: I drank a lot...

And forgot most of what happened last night...

{Y---}

{YOU TOOOO?!}
