Gintama 394

I honestly think Sunrise and Sorachi conspire to have the anime end just when the manga is at it's most awesome. One year is coincidence, two years is just unnecessary torture.



(Side text- To the last inning...!!)

GINTAMA

Oboro: Sir, we must make haste.

Sadasada: Has something happened? Oboro.

I was most looking forward to seeing the final moments of those insurgents.

Oboro: The crows have begun to stir.

It seems the winds are changing.

Sadasada: ?

What are you saying Oboro...? Those insurgents are no longer...

(Sfx- Doooon thooom)

002

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

(Sfx- Zashh sfft)

(Sfx- Zaahh sfft)

Sasaki: Good evening...

Your friendly neighborhood law enforcement is on the scene.

003

Sasaki: What on earth are you people doing?

If you're all going to act like this...

It'll be our necks on the line.

Gintoki: Yo---

You bastards....

Someone: Shinsengumi!!

Mimawarigumi!!!

GINTAMA
Lesson 394: Enemies that fate brought together.

SORACHI HIDEAKI

(Side text- A united front!)

004

Guards: Wh—why the hell is the Mimawarigumi here?!

(TN- That's what it says. Not sure if Sorachi made a mistake.)

Guards: What is the meaning of this?

It is your job to serve the Bakfu as officers of the law!

But by joining the insurgents....do you intend to commit treason?!

Kondo: Joining the insurgents?

Hey there buddy, you shouldn't slander people like that.

These criminals are to be executed at dawn.

As you can see the morning sun has not yet risen, so we can't lay a finger on them.

It's a bit too soon to call this treason don't you think?

As it's our duty to watch over those who are to be executed until the time their sentence is carried out

This means..

Until dawn our orders as the Shinsengumi are to protect their heads.

005

Shinpachi: K—Kondo-san..

Guards: What do you country samurai know about anything?

To bite the hand that feeds you makes you worse than insurgents....it makes you no more than animals!

Just whom do you think it was who brought you from the country in the first place?

Okita: Animals? Sounds fitting.

(Sfx- Niji niji niji gnnd grnd grnd)

Okita: I'm sorta tired of being a lap dog that wags his tail obediently for a bunch of pigs anyway.

When I see a bunch of piggies standing in front of me..

Kagura: Gugh!

Okita: It just makes me want to eat 'em.

Like a wolf.

Kagura: Who is a pig? Gangster chiwawa!!

(Sfx- Gah kick)

Okita: Ow! I call 'em like I see 'em PIIIIG!!

(Sfx- Gasuuh thoook)

Kagura: You are talking about me?!

Guards: Then it was you people who let the Mimawarigumi slip into the castle?!

So then you people and the Mimawarigumi were planning a coup the whole time huh?!

Did Sasaki lose his standing and his mind?!

(Sfx- Doooon boooom)

006

Hijikata: Who...

Is going to...

Coup with who, huuuuh?

I dare you to say it again, c'mon.

Guard: We're talking about yo---

(Sfx- Dooon FOOOM)

Hijikata: HUUUH?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU ASSHAT!!

Guard: You guys and the Mimawarigu---

(Sfx- Doooon fwooooom)

Hjikata: I said I can't HEAR you!! Loud voices! From your gut!!

Guard: Yo--
(Sfx- Dooooon fwoooom)

Hijikata: I CAN'T HEAAAAAAR YOU!! MORE LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU!!

Wipe the shit out of your ears and listen!! LIKE HELL WE'D TEAM UP WITH THEM!!

(Handwritten- Calm down Toshi!)

Hijikata: Awwright Kondo-san, we're gonna march into the castle find Sadasada and those bastards and then set the whole place on fire!!

Kondo: What the hell?! This is the first time I'm hearing of this plan! More like, are you a patriot now?!

Guards: Their true colors have come out!!

No matter, just attack them and the insurgents!!

(Sfx- Kuwaaah roaaaar)

Sasaki: Oh dear. Seems they've gotten started without us.

007

Sasaki: If you'll have a look around gentlemen, we've elitely surrounded you.

I'd like to say something like 'if you drop your weapons we'll let you go free' but I do rather dislike lying.

But I suppose it does merit repetition.

If you should decide to drop your weapons I can keep from having everyone here killed since we are police officers, and it's a bit of a no-no to off those who are not resisting.

Gintoki: Y--

You..

Nobume: You're late.

Sasaki: I'm deeply sorry Nobume-san.

Hey how about a doughnut for being such a good girl and continuing the mission while the chief was away---

(Sfx- Garihh glmp)

Sasaki: How very elite of you. You managed to keep the needles from piercing your vitals...

(Sfx- Bun fwhff)

(Sfx- Bun bun fwfff fwff)

Sasaki: But now the poison is keeping you from moving huh?

Well, dealing with something like that is about as much fun as having to remove a curry udon stain.

(Sfx- Fun wffft)

(Sfx- Gan slam)

(Sfx- Bokiih pop)

008

Sasaki: Though I suppose I do have to thank you for taking such good care of Nobume for me, Sakata-san.

(Sfx- Puran wfft)

Sasaki: Though it appears things have gotten rather serious around here.

Nobume: They were hindrances.

Sasaki: Now now. We are elite, and they are...hmph normal. There's really no comparison.

But it does appear that you won't be useful any longer.

Gintoki: Heh, ain't this something...

You guys who are in debt to the Shinsengumi still want to parade around, and talk about how elite you are.

Sasaki: It's not as if I enjoy this turn of events, we've just ended up having to depend on each other.

(Sfx- Goki crack)

Sasaki: Moreover, this is just the two of our groups teaming up to do what's necessary to live through this. In essence, we're using each other.

We're enemies, but fate has a funny way of forcing us to make up.

(Sfx- zuh sfft)

Sasaki: Oh my. Pardon me, this sort of talk may be too much for a normal to comprehend.

Let me utilize a metaphor. It's like a DoraOmon movie with Nobita and Jaian.

Although they normally are on opposite sides, there comes a time where their interests align and they are forced to put aside differences and use each other as tools for a greater good.

Gintoki: Gotta say, I don't remember DoraOmon movies being so dark.

Sasaki: In summary....

009

(Sfx- Doooon thooom)

Sasaki: Sakata-san..

You are useless trash.

All right, now that one piece of trash has been taken care of..

how about a big clean up for the rest?

(Sfx- Kuwaaaaaaah ROAAAAAR)

Tsukuyo: Yo---

You baaaaaaastard!!

010

Tsukuyo: Gintoki!!

Get a grip of yerself!

Gint--

(Sfx- Dobushaaaah bloooorsh)

Tsukuyo: Gintoki?!

011

Tsukuyo: You...

That's...!

Sasaki: That should reactive your acupressure points. For now it will stave off the paralysis, so you should be able to move around a bit.

(Sfx- Doh doh thoom thoom)

Sasaki: There's no need to worry, since the needle also acts as an antidote serum. I have to ensure that you are elitely taken care of.

With this I believe we should be squarsies.

Now run along and return to the other normals.

If you stay here much longer, that body of yours really will become useless trash.

Gintoki: Hmph.

That's not even funny.

Do you think making a late repayment like this...

Will make up for the fact that your payment is past due?!

(Sfx- Fungaaaaah oraaaaah!)

Sasaki: That's not good enough?

Then as you wish.

012

(Sfx Gah dssh)

(Sfx- Zatuh sshfft)

Gintoki: I'll need the Shogun; Sadasada's head.

013

Sasaki: My oh my.

You are a person with expensive tastes. That's one mighty high overpayment.

Gintoki: Nah...

It's no biggie.

(Sfx- Shikaaaah Sffft)

(Sfx- Doh doh thok thok)

(Sfx- Doshaaah thuuud)

Sasaki: Inform the Mimawarigumi...

014

Sasaki: We will be using all of our eliteness to assist the normals....

And with an elite amount of pride and dignity escort them to the higher ups.
(Sfx- Shakiii claaaang)

Tsukuyo: I know if a tell ya not to go nowheres with yer body like that you'd go.

That's why I'll go wit ya.

I ain't breakin' no promises...

Not to you or Maizou.

Nobume: So this is how it ends.

015

Nobume: I won't let you hog all of the fun.

After all, Doughnuts are most tasty when you eat them in one gulp.

(Sfx- bakuh chomp)

(Sfx- Kuwaaah roaaaaaaar)

Sadasada: And just what in the world...

Is going on here?

Oboro: It seems the Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi...

The two armored corps of Edo have joined hands.

I've heard that they get along as well as dogs and monkeys do.

Perhaps they have a middleman working behind the scenes to keep them together..

016

Oboro: Both groups are stalwart men able to cut through bullets and even the elements.

This isn't the place for a politician who simply stares at his checkbook day in and day to be.

The ship will be here momentarily.

You should find shelter and relocate there.

(Sfx- Hohohoho)

Oboro: Sir.

Sadasada: So they think they can snatch this country from me?

I think it is prudent to provide them with my response....

Inform the guards to gather both of those police groups here within the castle.

Then have them mow all of the insurgents over.

017

Guard: What the hell is that?

It looks like trouble!

The guards at the north and south gate are....

Wh-what?!

(Sfx- Ooooooh roooooar)

Guards: Ridiculous!! There's another coup going on here?! What on earth is...

Th—that's...

???: Listen up. On three you'd better open a path,

Or else I’ll blow a hole right through the castle walls.

One...

(Sfx- Doooon booom)

Guard: What about two and three?!

Matsudaira: You really didn't know?

A man only needs to understand number one to live.

018

Guard: The entire...

Police force is here?!

(Sfx- Doooon thooom)

Guard: No—no way...

Every single member of the police force is knocking at our door!!

That's just impossible!!

There's no way to mobilize this staggering amount of units...!!

Kondo: You're all alone now.

Whether it's the police or anyone else, no one is your pawn any more....

Do you get it yet?

Lord Sadasada...

GINTAMA LESSON 394.............END.

(Sfx- Katsh sfft)

Kondo: The traitor to this country...

Is you.
