Gintama 522

I just started buying Japanese language manga on Kindle...I was gonna start at the beginning of Gintama, but man I might just have to start with this arc. So awesome..



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

Tendoushuu: He is the next Great Shogun who quells even those who revolt...
Hitotsubashi Nobunobu.
Who will be known for now on as Tokugawa Nobunobu.
(Side text- Eyes of madness!!)
GINTAMA
Lesson 522: Shoyou's students.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

002
Shinpachi: N—no way....it can't be...
Why him of all people...?
The Hitotsubashi group pushed him into leadership...
So that they would be in position to seize the Bakfu....
Why would the Tendoushuu back the Hitotsubashi?
Why...
Would they be here?
Nobunobu: ilence.....
I am...
The greatest ruler under the heavens, the Shogun.

003
Nobunobu: Those who...
Ridiculed me...
And the ones who got in my way....
Slaughter them aaaaaaaaallllll!!!
I am the Great Shogun who quells rebellion, Tokugawa Nobunobu!
Oboro: The shrine you utilized..
Housed quite the clever man.

004
Oboro: You went as far as elevating him to a point where he became a candidate who could rival the Tendoushuu in status,
But as soon as we offered him the Shogun's throne he hastily discarded everything you did for him and now has abandoned you as mere 'insurgents'.
How utterly insipid. You labored so hard to use this fool of a ruler you created, but he in turn used you.
This is what results when one tries to oppose the heavens.
The Shogun that you placed your ambitions on...
and the one you hoped and believed in...
both no longer exists.
(Sfx- Hihihihihihi)
Oboro: What's left now is merely a puppet who acts in accordance to the Tendoshuu on above.
Your swords will no longer pierce the heavens.
Shigeshige(?): So you've offered a shrine of refuge to the Hitotsubashis in order to change an enemy into your puppet?

005
Nobunobu: Kill theeeeeem!
You dare defy orders from the rebellion supressing Shogun?
Shigeshige: I have my doubts that a broken man like him would even have use as a puppet.
Tendoushuu: Calm yourself Lord Nobunobu...
The crows will soon clean up the remaining insurgents.
And...
Then there will be no one anywhere to hinder you.
Be it even...
A former shogun.
Now allow us custody of Lord Shigeshige.
By now it should be clear that there is no reason to believe anything will happen to him.
Hattori: You think we can hand him over just like that?
Even if you take the Shogun's seat out of the equation, the fact that Shigeshige is still a problem that Nobunobu has to deal with doesn't change one damn bit.
Tendoushuu: Are you saying you will not surrender him to us?
I believe you are aware that these are the tacit orders...
Of the new shogun, Lord Nobunobu.
You are aware of what would happen if you choose to ignore them....?

006
Tendoushuu: We would rather not....
Treat the brave vassals...
Who protected Lord Shigeshige...
As lowly insurgents.
Shinpachi: Ngh....!!!
(Sfx- Zahhh shifft)
Shhinpachi: Shogun-sama!!

007
Tendoushuu: Hmph..
Secure Lord Shigeshige.
Shigeshige: Stand down.
Did I not make myself clear?
Stand down I said. Cease your insolence.
You are aware of who I am are you not?
I am the Great Shogun who quells rebellions....
Tokugawa Shigeshige.
Shinpachi: Shogun-sama...
Tendoushuu: Lord Shigeshige, did you not hear what I said? You are no longer...
Shigeshige: Did you not hear what I said?
I am Shogun.

008
Shigeshige: There is no one who can issue orders to the Shogun.
You will stand down when in my presence.
Hattori: Sh-Shogun you....
Shigeshige: I apologize Zenzou.
You placed your life in danger to protect me...
And even when I was no longer Shogun...
Still...
You protected me as your friend, Tokugawa Shigeshige.
Thus I...
Must continue to be the Shogun.
So that the lives sacrificed for the country and myself were not in vain.
I cannot flee from my battle....as Shogun.

009
Shigeshige: I am the Shogun Tokugawa Shigeshige.
And I will protect this country....the land where my friends live.
Nobunobu: Hihihi...
So then am I to assume you'll bear with the death of your friends too?
Who am I to deny what you seek Shigeshige?
The vassals too will die an insurgents death!! Kill them!!
Shigeshige: Lord Nobunobu...
Vassals act voicelessly to enforce their master's will.
The Shogun's true comrades...
Are not as feeble as you think.

010
Nobunobu: And those comrades of yours no longer have any use!
They are exhausted utterly and completely after fighting with the insurgents...! They no longer have any life within them!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo Rmmmmmmble)
Oboro: Students of Shoyou....
Your swords...
will no longer reach heaven.
No...those swords...
have been broken since long ago.
Yet....
Why Shiroyasha...?
(Sfx- Hyuh Hyuh...)

011
Oboro: Why do you continue to...
Grip that broken sword?
You cut down your teacher...
And even fought against a former friend.
What is it...
that you struggle for now?
Gintoki: If you're in short supply of enemies...then there are plenty right here.
We haven't changed, be it now or long before.
For the sake of becoming the Samurai that our heart desires....
We've been fighting....
against ourselves.
The Samurai that he is....the way he does things doesn't sit well with me.
So if I have to be the one to slice him down to stop him, so be it.

012
Gintoki: However there's no one on this world who understand him better....
than Me.
The thing we loathe most about this world....
is the same.
So you bastards...
Don't have the right to slice himd own.
I'll do it...
I'm the only one who can slice him and protect him.

013
Gintoki: That's...
The sort of Samurai I've decided to be.
Oboro: It figures. It seems you really should have died back then.
Shouyo probably laments this in the next world as well.
The students that he sacrificed his life to save...
Are so blinded by hatred that they too will be killed.
Goodbye, you students of Shouyou.
Return to the side of your master and friends.
(Sfx- Dooohhh fwoooom)

014
(Sfx- Gaoooon thooom)
(Sfx- Doohh dooom)
(Sfx- Goohhh bammm)
???: Bastard....
Don't you ever...

015
Takasugi: Speak of Shouyou.
(Sfx- Dooohhh thooom)

016
(Sfx- Dokaokaaaah hdddddhhh)
(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)
(Sfx- Gehoooeehh orragghh)
Takasugi: You'd...
better be sure to sear it into your eye...
As it's the very last thing it'll see.
Will it be my face?
Or his...?

017
Takasugi: If one of us dies....
The other will be the one to send you to hell.
Oboro: He still lives?!
Fate decrees...
that you both will meet your end here!!

018
(Sfx- Doooon thoooom)
(Sfx- Zaaaan dooom)

019
Kamui: Aww, whatta shame.
No one's gonna die.
Why you ask?
Cause I'm gonna kill you both.
Shinsuke it'd be a bummer for me if you died here.
If you remember, I've got a debt to settle with you....and you owe me a brawl.
Kagura: I will not let anyone take Gin-chan.
That includes you Kamui.
Kamui: Then you'll....
just have to live through this.
Show me...
Just how strong you are.
(Sfx- GOGOGOGO Rmmmmmmmble)
