Gintama 368

Thornes, roses, and the men who have hip-hop mogul names despite living in the Samurai period of Japan. Why is Sorachi not the household name he deserves to be?



(Handwritten- Do it! Do it! Do it!)

(Side text- Shinsengumi VS Mimawarigumi?!)

GINTAMA

Sasaki: Hijikata-san, do you think we're here to gamble against each other?

(Handwritten- Do it! Do it!)

Hijikata: Well, if I let you guys get by us, you'll kill your brother and erase us, won'tcha?

Sasaki: If it were my intention to erase both your forces and that insipid little brother of mine,

I would have simply contacted another unrelated unit to take care of this matter.

In that way, the head of the hostage,

And your heads would be a simple matter to detach and let drop.

Considering that everyone has let themselves become so riled up over this matter...

It's no wonder that these barbarians have managed to get two police factions together to preform a real life death match. This is the zenith of stupidity...and something the Miawarigumi will have to take responsibility for.

That is of course if you take one step against us.

I'm sorry to say Hijikata-san...

That my objective isn't to take the head of my insipid little brother or you Shinsengumi.

It is to solve this case with the utmost speed.

I have no desire, leisure or personnel to continue to perpetuate this farce with the likes of you.

Sasaki: In short...

(Sfx- Zabaaaaah fwisssssh)

Sasaki: I need only to pluck the thorns of one Baragaki...

To end this mockery of justice.

(Sfx- Hirari flutter)

Hijikata: I thought as much..
Having a sheltered upbringing like yours has...

Caused you to forget just how to be a wild beast, hasn't it?

Baragaki?

(TN- Hijikata's 'Baragaki' is 'Thorny brat' while here he refers to Sasaki as a 'Rose brat' which is pronounced the same. I made a mistake with an earlier chapter, and it should be like this.)

003

Sasaki: Don't think you'll get off lightly for obstruction of justice brat...

I'll teach you here and now how to respect the law.

(TN- Apparently Sorachi is using an antiquated term for police officer here...which is written as 'Omawari-san'. You'll take good care to notice that this has the same pronunciation and kanji as the Mimawarigumi.)

Yamazaki: Is this the time to admire her?!

She's flashily running wild!! Though at least as long as she's paying attention to the bad guys and not us, we may be able to save Tetsu....

Kondo: It's not that easy.

(Sfx- Byuun hop)

Kondo: She's headed right into enemy territory now. Before long she's gonna find Tetsu and slice his head clean off!!

Your eyes are like mine...

Shinsengumi: V----

(Sfx- Hyurururu spnnnnn)

Sasaki: The farce has ended.

012

Shinsengumi: V—Vice captain...

Dudes: S—seriously?

Eminem: Fuahahahah! They did it homies! Sasaki really dropped that guy!

Dudes: H—hey...why are those guys gathering there?

Heeeey! What are you idiots doing?! Don't you care what happens to him?!

(Sfx- Zazaaah dffff)

Dudes: W—what? W-wait...!!

Hold up dudes!! Wait up!!

Eminem: Damn! This dude's really gonna kill his own little brother?!

Then you ain't worth SHIT as a hostage, bitch!!

Ho—HOSHIT!!

W—wait!! What're we gonna do over here then?!

013

Eminem: Hey! This is a confidential document ain't it?! Even we know that much...!!

(On envelope: To Hijikata Tamegorou)

Eminem: So then, why'd you give something so important to this asshat?

{That's the Vice captain's.....!!}

Tetsu: Stoooooop!! Give me back that letter you guys..!!

Eminem: Going as far as using a fake name....

Oh and the delivery address is the Mimawarigumi's HQ.

And Hijikata was trying to have it delivered to you Sasaki!!

{No way, Vice captain wanted it delivered to brother..?!}

Eminem: I ain't tryin' to fool with you when I say I'll hand this to you!

You don't want it to get messed up along with this guy do you?

Sasaki: ….oh?

That was from Hijikata-san to me? Now you've got my interest.

Eminem: You guys gonna say somethin or what?! If you don't get yer asses in gear, I'm gonna read this thing on tha mic in the middle of the hood, ya hear?!

Sasaki: Please do, thanks.

Eminem: Wh...you've got guts!!

Fine then, we're gonna read this!

Al right...De---De---Dear...

Dude: It says “Dear' boss!

Eminem: Shut the fuck up! I know that!

014

{Sasaki Isaburo-dono, please forgive me for suddenly writing this letter.}

{Rumors of me sending a letter to the Mimawarigumi would be problematic....}

{So please forgive me for being impertinent and writing under a false name.}

{I surmise that if you read the name 'Hijikata' you would more than likely give this a thorough reading.}

{I've taken charge of your little brother Tetsunosuke.}

{And I have to admit that my feelings towards his training have changed somewhat. Before our days were filled with training til we dropped...}

{After some time though, he begain to understand the importance of training oneself, and not letting onself become idle.}

{To keep walking upon the path in front of him without stopping. To struggle with us, and grow a strong backbone, becoming a true man at long last.}

{Seeing his advancement every day is incredible.}

{I'm embarrassed to admit it, but even I have things I can lean from him.}

{If it's him...}

{I know he'll become a strong warrior for sure.}

{If it's him..}

{He'll become a warrior that we all can be proud of.}

015

{After all, it is he who will recognize his own coming of age.}

{And only he can do this.}

{More than his family, more than his brother...}

{He will only get this kind of chance once.}

Sasaki: I'm jealous...
Of you Vice captain.

{I'm sure this is what he wishes.}

{I know myself...I know what it's like to be the victim of endless abusive language.}

016

(Gravemarker- Hijikata Tamegorou)

(Sfx- Pota pota drip drip)

{I know...}

{Because for me,}

{It's still a dream unrealized.}

Sasaki: Vi---ce---captain...

(Sfx- Paaan baaang)

Eminem: E—hiiii!

(Sfx- Hira hira flutter flutter.)

Sasaki: We've no time for this.

017

Sasaki: Force your way in, men.

Sasaki: I...

ISABUROOOOOOOOOO!!!

???: Vi---

Vice Captain.

018

Sasaki: Stop it! Please!

I'm begging you to stop!!

You don't have to worry about me...

So stop!! Stop please Vice Captain!!
(Sfx- Don don thoom thoom)

Sasaki: So you're one of those types, are you?

The type that doesn't die until every bit of life is drained out of them?

(Sfx- Chun chun)

Sasaki: Get out of my way.

Baragaki.

(Sfx- Doooon thoooom)

{Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

{You can decide whether the sword or blade...}

{Will end your life.}
