Gintama 390

What? The Gorilla won't be around next week? B-b-b-b-b-but what will I do with myself then? Someone with a manga that isn't wordy and gives the artist and translator a chance to rest tell me what I should do with my week!!

Also translation 550~ How many more do I have to translate before that means something? I have no clue!



(Side text- The silence before the storm...)

GINTAMA

Kondo: This time they're going up against the Shogun...

For pete's sake. With those guys, they've always gotta do it real big.

Hijikata: I've got a bad feeling. There's a group of guys near here that are more dangerous than the patriots could ever hope to be.

Kondo: Though this time...

The view of his back almost seems to be resigned to stay in this bout till the end...

Nobume: It should be the same for you all.

Joining our side means....

You've forsaken any hopes of a safe return.

002

Nobume: Making a mistake against Sadasada means...

The end. For both us at the Mimawarigumi and you the Shinsengumi.

Hijikata: Don't worry about us.

I don't recall saying we're in the same boat as you guys.

With you guys running around and making a lot of noise in the palace, even that old tanuki will end up losing his cool at least a little.

You can be sure when that happens and all the obstacles are out of the way, we'll open a nice little Tanuki hot pot and broil him alive.

Okita: Hey, there's no need to worry cause we aint' gonna die.

Though if you really want it that bad...

I can carry out your death sentence right now.

Lil' miss criminal.

(Sfx- Douuhhh Fwoooosssh)

003

Kondo: Sougo!!

(Sfx- Doh doh fwip fwip)

(Sfx- Bushiii blissssh)

(Sfx- Doshaaaaah blooorsh)

Kondo: Th—that's...?!

(Sfx- Pih fweee)

(Sfx- Bushhhhaagh bloooosh)

(Sfx- Piiiiihhh fweeeee)

Okita: Seems like one of them managed to worm away.

Looks like that tanuki geezer is going to be harder to demask than we thought.

Nobume: You'd do best to remember...

That within the palace's walls it's everyone for themselves.

004

Nobume: If you don't act as if you're here to steal a country...

Everyone will die.

(Sfx- Gahh fwapp)

Nobume: If it is your intention to cut me down...

You'd do best in first eradicating that tankuki geezer...

If you have hopes to win this struggle to steal the country....

Forget black or white, Shinsengumi or Mimawarigumi.

(Sfx- Piiiiih Piiiiih)

005

Sadasada: What is going on?

Guard: I---it's them Sadasada-sama...

Sadasada: The culprits is it?
Gintoki(?): If only he could see us now...

I'm sure he'd grin ear to ear seeing this.

006

Gintoki: Who woulda thought...for one old bat...

We're actually going to steal a whole damn country?

GINTAMA
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Lesson 390: 'Taking' a country is a lot more exciting to write than 'stealing' a country.

(Side text- The Yorozuya get the tough jobs....)

Shinpachi: When this is said and done, we're going to be the number one public enemies, huh?

Geez...how will I tell Sister about this?

Kagura: It is fine. If you are not accepted as a siscon on earth, then we can find a place for it out in space. That will make a good story, yes?

Gintoki: Yorozuya in space?

That's not too bad.

(Handwritten- There's no such thing as rent in space.)

Tsukuyo: If ya'll need a place to hide that ain't a part of this here govt' then we'll take care of ya in Yoshiwara.

Gintoki: What, and become Yorozuya in Yoshwara?

Tsukuyo: Nah, you'll just be helpin' in the Okama bar.

Soyo: Then if we must steal the country...

We'd need to fight a battle to steal balls right?

(Sfx- Pishtsh smack)

Kagura: Ow! Why did you hit me?

007

Gintoki: You brought her here didn't you? Not only that you gave her your shitty sense of humor too, huuh?

Kagura: It is because you are filled with nothing but toilet humor, yes? Despite the fact that you are around a young lady it does not stop you, yes?

You should know at this age young ladies are like sponges that absorb everything!

Gintoki: Who's a sponge?!

You're more like a dirty dust rag used to clean spoiled milk!

(Sfx- Kusu kusu hee hee)

Kagura: Be quiet toilet paperrrr!!!

Gintoki: At least I'm useful enough to clean shit off of the ass when the time comes for it!

(Sfx- Gera gera haahahah)

(Sfx- Kusukusu tee hee)

Tsukuyo: You sure ya wanna do this?

Ya ain't gotta go this far for Yoshiwara, and make this yer problem too.

If you wanna back out best do it now.

Gintoki: Too late for that.

I already made a promise after all.

Tsukuyo: I see.

Then...

008

Tsukuyo: Let's promise then...

No matter what..

we'll come back alive.

It's a promise.

009

Tsukuyo: We'll...

Bring that old guy back with us to meet Suzuran.

Nobume: Finished saying your farewells to this world?

(Sfx- Hyuuuuuh wooooooo)

Shinpachi: Nobume-san...

No way you aren't coming too--

Nobume: As I'm the last left of the Mimawarigumi, I have a duty to see this mission out to the end.

Moreover...

I'll get to...

Cut people....

(Sfx- Gachaah clack)

Shinpachi: Eh?

010

Kagura: HEEEEEEEY!!

Nobume: Get moving extras.

(Sfx- Zah zah zah sfft sfft sfft)

Kagura: We're gonna kill hime-samaaaaaaa!

Guards: Hi---hime-samaaaaaa!!

You monsters!! To be so cruel to the princess...!

Even a hundred death sentences wouldn't absolve you of this crime!!

Kagura: Shut your noise holes! You will let nothing ooze out of your nasty mouths, yes?

Nobume: Next person who talks will owe hime-sama a new finger.

Shinpachi: Gin-san...At this rate even if we do miraculously come back alive, I think we're going to have to relocate outside of Edo.

Soyo: S—save bmeee~

Wh—why dobes this have to habben to me~

(Sfx- Higgu uggu Snffle sniffle)

Shinpachi: And hime-sama is really quite the actress...so much so that I don't think anything we say after this will get us out of trouble....

Nobume: It smells, so I'll ask you not to say anything either.

(Handwritten- What? Me too?)

Nobume: Did you just say something?

Soyo: I—I didn't understand...

Nobume: This is annoying, so I’ll just lob off an arm.

(Sfx- Bushaaah blooorsh)

(Sfx- Doshuuu blissh)

Shinpachi: EEEEEEEEEH?!

Guards: Hime-sama!!

Nobume: Okaay~ If you say anything else she loses the other arm.

Guards: W—we understand! We'll open a path.

Nobume: All right, if someone talks again, she loses a leg...

Guards: We get it! Okay?!

011

Soyo: Looks like it worked!

(Sfx- Ehe~ Teehee)

(Sfx- Hyoko hyoko wff wff)

Shinpachi: I'm not sure what exactly worked so well Hime-sama.

It's probably impossible for us to return to society now...

Soyo: Although I was ever so worried that they'd see through the blood..

To see everyone's surprised face was most amusing!

Girls: Totally~

Shinpachi: 'Totally' my ass!! Sisterhood sadist three!!

Tsukuyo: Hime-sama, it's bound 'ta be dangerous goin' forward from here...ya best go hide for yer own good.

Soyo: Please let me help you until the bitter end.

I knew almost nothing...poor Jiiya has been trapped in this castle for so long...

To think he wanted to leave the castle even more than I...

Despite everything he still was there...

protecting me...

(Handwritten- Hime-sama, that's improper!)

Soyo: That's why this time around I want to help Jiiya in any way I can.

Even if I get scolded I won't turn back.

Kagura: Soyo-chan...

(Sfx- Tatata tmptmtmp)

Soyo: We must make haste, uncle is this way!

(Sfx- Zurihh sfft)

(Sfx- Gagoooo thooood)

012

Shinpachi: Hime-samaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

(Sfx- Pusu pusu bloop bloop)

(Sfx- Toooon huuush)

(Death message: Yorozuya)

Shinpachi: Heeeeeey!! She was just about to help us out and then she goes and faints?!

More like this looks like a perfect place for a murderrrrrr!!

If someone sees her there we're in big----

(Sfx- Gacha clack)

Nobume: Better do this before we're seen...

Tsukuyo: Aren't you movin' a little too damn quick?!

Gintoki: Oh my, we're all so improper!

But it's too late to be thinking of what's improper isn't it?

Tsukuyo: No more Ikkokudou!!

Guards: Hime-samaaa!!

You bastards!! What have you done to hime-sama?!

(Sfx- kuwaaaah roaaaar)

Shinpachi: The troops are pushing their way throuuuugh!!

(Sfx- Gasasaaah ssshsst)

Kagura: Soyo-chan, you will wait here, yes?

Guards: Don't allow a single one of those traitors to live!! Ataaaaaack!!!

(Sfx- Dodododododo Tmtmtmtmtmp)

Guards: Spare not even the women and children!!!

013

(Sfx- Gogogogohh rmmmmmble)

Guards: Wha?

Kagura: You said something about children and women, yes?

(Sfx- Hyagaaaan thump)

Nobume: That lord, the retainer...

And this country that completely underestimates women..

(Sfx- Pishihhh cracckle)

(Sfx- Dododoodo Thoooom)

(Sfx- Gogogogo rmmmmble)

(Sfx- Dodododdodo Thokthokthok)

014
Tsukuyo: If ya think you can stop us..

Then go ahead and try.

(Sfx- Fuhh fwfff)

Tsukuyo: So you won't be scorned..

The woman..

protects you.

To dry a woman's tears...

It takes a showy castle.

It's name...?

If you've already forgotten, allow us to remind you.

Guards: KILL THEEEEEEEEM!!!

015

(Sfx- Kuwaaaah roaaaar)

(Sfx- Hyuuuu woooooo)

(Sfx- Gurari whuump)

(Sfx- Dododdo doooom)

???: The keisei...

Or the one who topples countries is here.

(TN- Keisei: Mentioned before, it's literally a woman who's looks can bring down an entire country.)

Shinpachi: Well geez...

Gintoki: Those simple bastards are up against 3 keisei huh...

Shinpachi: The shogun doesn't stand a chance against them...he'll be reduced to bones.

Gintoki: Bad news, appears...

The cavalry has arrived.

Gintoki: I don't know much about the next follower of the shogun or anything..
(Sfx- Shakkii clack)

Gintoki: For you asshats who have had their skills rotted away by piece, we're more than able opponents.

017

(Sfx- Datsuuu dasssh)

Gintoki: With those wenches....

Everyday is a warring states kind of daaaaaaaaaay!!!

018

(Sfx- Gashaii clank(

(Sfx- Kuwaaaah roooooar)

Kagura: Gin-chan...

Can you guess how many people are here?

Kagura: 100 people, 200 people...

Gintoki: Knock it off before you put yourself to sleep.

Listen up, under no circumstances should you take a step without a buddy with you.

Think of nothing else but having their back, and cut the enemy down before you.

Before you fall in defeat..

Make sure you take one of them with you.

019

Gintoki: Our swords should be one,

and penetrate the wall before us.

We're gonna crush the shogun and his crappy ass castle.

The battle to steal the country...

IS ONLY GETTING STARTED!!
