Gintama 516

So a flashback wrapped in a flashback within an arc about the Shogun's flashback that lead to present events.

Just Shounen manga as usual. Nothing to see here.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

GINTAMA
(Side text- Before on the subjugation front...)
???: This might be the end for us.
So then, I wanted to ask you something
Gintoki.
For what reason did you...
Participate in this war?
Did you come to protect this country from those bastard Amanto?
Or is it that you wanted to make a name for yourself as a warrior?

002
Gintoki: Dunno.
At least I know I'm not some sorta good guy who'd die for something like that.
Neither you or I for that matter.
Takasugi: That sounds about right. At least compared to Zura and Tatsuma we're failures.
Forget bushido, we're just a pair of good for nothing warriors.
Though...
Really it's only the good for nothing stories that we understand the best.
Gintoki.
If I should die here...

003
Takasugi: I leave Sensei to you.
Consider it a request...
from a good for nothing just like you.
Gintoki: Then, as a good for nothing I'll ask a favor too.

004
Gintoki: Don't die.

005
(TN- No text just dammit guys.)

006
GINTAMA
(Middling text- That day where they parted ways....)
Lesson 516: The good for nothing duo.

011
Katsura: As I thought...
You were here huh?
You went buck wild at the cram school...
Including this incident how many times would that be?
Gathering together the prestigious who will shoulder the country's future as well as noted military housing...
And still it isn't enough to manage a vessel such as yourself...

012
Katsura: Takasugi.
Takasugi: Gathering the prestigious?
Don't make me laugh Katsura.
The only things there are little brats that got dragged in cause of their parents's money.
Going buck wild you say? The only thing I did was take practice seriously and give it my all.

013
Takasugi: Dying for the sake of your home or your country...
Is that what makes a great Samurai?
Well my bad, but I have no interest in being something as pointless as that.
Katsura: Then...
What kind of warrior do you aim to be?
Takasugi...
Just where on earth do you intend on going?
Takasugi: Beats me.
If I understood myself...
Then probably I wouldn't have any problems.

014
Guy: Takasugi...
Seems like you gave my kid brother a bit of trouble.
Little low class shit stain warriors like you need to be taught right from wrong.
Seems like a special lesson is required from Senpai.
Takasugi: Looks like this time i'll get some real practice in...
Katsura; Wait! You're creating enmity and picking personal fights just for practice, and yet you still claim you want to become a warrior?
Moreover we're completely outnumbered....!!
Dude: If it isn't Katsura. That's cool, I heard you're an honor student or whatever...
But there's a limit to how much you can control the poor at your desk with your money and you're about to learn it here.
Lets settle everything!!
Takasugi: Have a look...
Katsura.
There are...
No Samurai here.

015
(Sfx- Hyaaan fwsssh)
(Sfx- Dotsh thok)
Gintoki: Blahblahblah.
Shut the hell up you idiots.
Are you in heat or something?

016
Gintoki: If you guys wanna practice so bad, go to a temple school.
Geez. Did you not even learn how to skip class properly?
If you don't know how to skip lemmie teach you.
Dude: Wh—who the hell are you?
Gintoki: Just go to sleep.
(Sfx- Dohh Thod)

017
Gintoki: Samurai don't know the meaning of halfassed. When it's time to do something they go all out. When they skip class, they also go all out.
Here, we can even do it together if you want. Let's all just chillax and take a nap.
Dude: Who the hell's going to take a nap dammit?!
Don't think we're gonna let you get away asshole!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo thokokthoktkok)
(Sfx- Dosshaaaah thooood)
Shoyou: Ah Gintoki...
You're right on.
A samurai really doesn't dabble in half measures.
Whether it be when overwhelmed by bullies in great numbers or otherwise.
However Gintoki..

018
Shoyou: Considering you all are half measures, you're about one hundred years too early to even think of skipping.
(Sfx- Kotsunn thok)
Gintoki: Buehra.
(Sfx- Dofaaaan Booom)
Shoyou: Now both sides have been punished for fighting. You should take those boys with you and go back to school.
(Sfx- Zaahh shfft)
Shoyou: Little samurai.
Katsura: Th—that's...
(Sfx- Zuru zuru sssshhhh)
Katsura: That's right...I've heard rumors..
Recently a samurai brought a silver haired child in and opened a private school in his home..
And he's been teaching impoverished children without requesting payment...
That's Yoshida Shouyou
Of the Shouka Sonjyuku.
(TN- Shouka Sonjyuku is a private school run by the actual Yoshida Shoin in the Yamaguchi prefecture from 1830-1859. I guess I'll keep the name like this.)
(Side text- Memories of school...)
