Gintama 528

Suddenly I'm reminded of older times where chapters took me several hours to complete. Why is it I can't get anything but pain from you Gorilla? Can't you go write more Dandelion instead?



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

(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)
GINTAMA
Lesson 528: The hero arrives late.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
(Side text- Gintoki pops the tyrannical shogun one in the kisser!!)
(Sfx- Gacha clack)
(Sfx- Gacha clack)

002
Mimawarigumi: BASTAAAAAAARD!!
What the hell did you do to the Shogun?!
Sasaki: Hellooo~ Earth to Nobunobu-sama~
Are you still alive there? Is it okay if I send this to my phone~?
Oh dear.
{On Phone- To Nobutasu// The Shogun lost another tooth, lol).
Sasaki: Just when he managed to get over his old injuries this kind of thing happens...
Sakata-san, I never thought you'd make a move this audacious before Hijikata-san.
Doing something so pointless....you know even if you were to cut your belly a hundred times it won't be enough to make up for this crime.
Gintoki: Don't screw with me.
The stupid lord's number one disciples are Kuwaman and myself.
(TN- Kuwaman is the nickname of Nobuyoshi Kuwano who is a Japanese TV performer and a former member of Rats and Star.)

003
Gintoki: I wanna just forget work and get hammered.
You remember who said that? It's the guy decked out there.
Since he's just “Nobunobu-san' I just figured we'd chat it up.
He mentioned wanting to know how the lower class gets by right?
This is a dog eat dog kinda place. You don't bite first you get bitten.
That's just common sense.
Guys who aren't ready to get slugged in the face shouldn't race a fist in the first place.
And guys who aren't ready to be stripped to a single pair of briefs and still get hammered shouldn't think they can get chummy and drink shoulder to shoulder with us.
So tell that to your little prince there when he wakes up, ya mutts.

004
Okita: What the hell are you doing.
Are you not seeing this situation?
What are you even doing here?
Kagura: You are a cop.
Then you will do your job and maintain traffic.
With the situation like this I cannot write my job.
Okita: Yeah, there are no cops or anything like that here.
You didn't know? We...the shinsengumi is..
Kagura: If you have disbanded...
Why are you still wearing that thing?
You have not removed that uniform, yes? Why is that?

005
Kagura: I heard...
Back then,
It seems you protected Soyo-chan, yes?
From an annoying idiot.
There's no meaning if I couldn't protect what was most important...the shogun.
I'm pretty sure the Princess hates me, the manslayer who was unable to protect her older brother.
Kagura: Then I will only complain to you.
It is because of you that she is unable to eat hormones and liver...
But she still can't help wanting to get a store together for your liking so think of something you want to eat before she invites you she says.
The shinsengumi may not be around...
But thanks to you the fact that there are lives to protect has not changed.

006
Kagura: That you...
Have protected the lives of two girls has not changed.
You do not have to worry, yes? Even you do not wear that....
I know it well.
You...and the rest of them are still the police---the shinsengumi.
Even if after this you don't know what it is you will do...
We will still know that it is you.
So do not loiter in a place like this.
Once you have freed the Gorilla from his cage...
Do your job and control the trafic.
Okita: Wait, were you just encouraging me? Do you think I've become depressed or something...?
Kagura: I do not.
Just take off dust cloth because you stink so badly.

007
Okita: I've come to a conclusion..
That I will never remove this uniform for the rest of my life, and I will definitely not do what you say.
Hear that halfwits?
As long as I never remove this thing...
THE SHINSENGUMI WILL NEVER DIIIE.
(Sfx- Gooooooh fwooooom)
Okita: Which means you guys all get slaughtered anywaaaaay!!
Dude: What changed from before then!?
Hoooold iiiiit!!
Just knock this crap off and listen to us for a minute!! We're on your...
It's too late to beg for your lives now, boys!!
Kagura: You're in the way of my walk, dammmit!!
???: Hold on!
Please just wait Commander Okita!!
(Sfx- Koso koso tmp tmp)
Sasaki: I see.

008
Sasaki: Are you telling me that even if the times change, and the Shogun changes...
that stupidity will never change then?
Let her go...
And attend to the injured.
Certainly tonight was a case of Nobunobu-sama's overindulgence.
If we cut any other civilians then the new government will gain a reputation for infamy.
(Sfx- Gacharii clack)
Sasaki: It's much faster to pin the responsibility on the shoulders of one idiot.
Tae: Gin-san!

009
Sasaki: What is the meaning of this Hijikata-san?
Haiji: Sorry but we can't allow ya to take that guy.
(Sfx- Zatshh shfft)
Haiji: If we just back down and stay quiet here, we won't be cops...
Or hardboiled anymore, right bro?
???: Even if it means becoming your opponents...
If we can no longer understand who it is we protect or judge then it's all over for us cops.
Heiji: You official guys are what's wrong here.
At this rate you're gonna destroy this country Chief.
{I drank those words up with a swig of Camus.}
{There are times where the best words a man has in his arsenal are none at all.}
Haiji: Don't get scared and retreat into hardboiledness!!

010
Sasaki: Humans have been on this planet for 50 billion years and have managed to constantly evolve within their environment.
Do you know why we've been able to survive this long?
It's because we “grow accustomed” to certain things.
Hmm...how should I simplify this for you lacking in eliteness...
For example when a new super sentai series begins, one refuses to acknowlege it, saying they prefer Bioman.
How many times has one thought this? Yet in the end when it's come to a close one can't help but find it difficult to say farewell to Changeman.
And it is through getting accustomed to situations like this that humans continue to live.
The hero this time isn't one who protects the weak...
It is one who does away with the old and ushers in protecting the new, a hero for the new ages.
You will eventually get used to this....or well, more like you have to.
You can lament and struggle...
But the ages and your heroes will never return.
Otherwise you all will face...
A road of annihilation like this gentleman before me.
Hijikata: Chief....
Not a single one of us has died yet.

011
Sasaki: Hijikata-san...
If you make a move right now...
Even a single step...
You and your comrades will be treated as traitors and erased from the annals of history.
I think you just just come to an understanding....
You people....
Are no longer heroes.
Tae: Gin-san!!
???: Kind sirs..

012
???: Your order has arrived...
It's just coming out now however...
Sasaki: I don't remember requesting anything like this.
No...
Earlier in that seat where you all were sitting...
There was a gentleman in undies...
With everyone...
Sasaki: Undies?
???: He apparently took care of the bill so there's no need for you to pay.
The Bakfu and all of you police....
Won't need anything else.
Why you ask?
(Sfx- Fusaaah Ssssffft)

013
Katsura: The hero...
Is right here.

014
Okita: You guys....what is the meaning of this?
(Sfx- Zazaahh Sshffft)
Okita: Why the heck are you guys...
With the patriots?
Hey Yamazaki, why the hell are you doing this what are you up to?
Yamazaki: Eh?! Why just me? You usually treat me as background most of the time so why only me now?!
Okita: What I do to you depends on your answer. What I do to you and you alone.
Yamazaki: Ee-eeeek!!
(Sfx- Datsuh dassh)
Yamazaki: It's not like that Commander Okita!!
(Sfx- Gabaah faaaf)
Yamazaki: Heeey! Say something to him!!

015
{Something you say....}
(Sfx-Zuuun doooom)
???: Um we don't need that classic kind of idiocy though!!
Kagura: Elly!!
Okita: You guys are the Katsura faction?!
(Sfx- Gabaaah Fwaap)
Okita: Shimaru nii-san.
Shimaru: Calm down Sougo-kun.
(Sfx- Gabaah fwaaap)
Elizabeth: There's a reason for...
???: Um...wait...
Sign: The trut--
(Sfx- Gatsu fwap)
Sign: Listen to...
Sign: What I'm about to say..
(Sfx- Gotsuhh thok)
Sign: The trut--
???: Um...your characters and the signs are kind of ramming together so it's hard to follow...
(Sfx- Gan gotsuh Thok thok)
Elizabeth: In any case we have no intention of starting a fight here.
???: See the thing is you're not convincing at all.
Elizabeth: Today we're neither Shinsengumi or patriots.
We've come here as Samurai.

016
(Sfx- Kuraaa roaaah)
(Sfx- Geho gohooh cough)
Mimiwarigumi: A smokescreeeeeen!!
Katsura: Hurry up.
Gintoki....
We'll meet at “dawn”.
Gintoki: That bastard....
What the hell is he thinking?!

017
(Sfx- Gashaaan slaaam)
Kondo: A new guy huh?
To end up in a place like this...
You must have committed one hell of a crime. What are you in for?
Katsura: I wonder....
I don't remember actually ever doing anything wrong honestly.
Though if I had to take a guess, it might have something to do with me picking a fight with the entire country.
Kondo: Is that so? I'm the opposite.
I was supposed to protect this country and ended up like this in the end.

018
Kondo: Interestingly enough if we were to meet outside of this cell we'd be enemies.
Katsura: A strange coincidence indeed.
Right now though in this cell we'd might as well get along as were just prisoners.
Kondo: Can't really be helped that the corruptness of the world ends up in this place.
Might as well socialize a bit...not like I've got much time left. So let's just let the past go and be buddies.
Katsura: You're absolutely right.
Right now outside is just another prison.
Everyone out there has become a prisoner in the jail known as this country.
Both enemies and allies have forgotten where evil has come from.
All have merged into one and if we don't take this fight for the country's sake up...
The country itself will face execution.
This is a situation that the patriots alone can't handle.
So then I have a request for you.

019
Katsura: Chief of the Shinsengumi...
Kondou Isao...
To protect this country...
Lend me your strength.
