GINTAMA
Lesson 555: Requesting vacation time.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Katsura: Words fail me...
(Sfx- Zahh sfft)
Katsura: Should Takasugi be alive...

002
Katsura: The Bakfu took our master,
Our friends, and in response we became patriots,
Who desired to change this cruel world.
However...
If the one who created this world...
Is the same master we revered...
Well, I won't lie and say I'm not surprised.
However, deep down I think I understand even if only slightly...
That the more radiant light is...
The more pervasive shadows become.

003
Katsura: If nothing else,
Yoshida Shouyou was a ray of brilliance that shone upon our lives.
From time to time I wondered to myself,
How can someone so magnificent exist?
Now however, I find myself thinking in retrospect..
That from time to time when he had eyes of vacant and endless nothingness...
Were perhaps entranced with a shadow,
Spread over his past eternally.
We may never know why he was in league with the Naraku for such a long time dying his hands in blood.
Nor do we know why he fled from them –The Naraku,
and opened the Shouka Sonjyuku.

004
Katsura: There is one thing I am sure of, however.
Irrespective of how he may have lived through the eras....
The man who smiled upon us back then in that place...
Was without a doubt our master and sensei...
And I have no doubt in what I must do now...
As his disciple.
Gintoki: Zura...
{A monster's sword....}
{Cannot slay me.}
{You must use a “human's sword”}
{And become stronger than me.}

005
Gintoki: That thing...
Isn't Shouyou.
It's something even he couldn't,
defeat.
Shouyou died back then.
That's what Takasugi said, yeah?
Katsura: Really....
Even is that is the case...
Gintoki, now it is my turn.
I shan't allow you...
To cut down master for a second time.

006
???: And so, due to an unfortunate accident, all members of the senate have died.
There is now nothing binding you to this place –Divisions of twelve.
From now on you may act as you see fit.
Dude: Utsuro-sama,
We don't seek freedom now....
Until now, we've been puppets at the whims of the Elder senate and Admiral Kamui.
A twin headed snake will eventually rip itself asunder. However, you my lord have saved us from the brink of collapse.

007
Lion guy: What the Harusame desires now isn't freedom, but governance.
A leader to guide us forth.
When we decided to form a union to attack the Senate and Kamui..
We had already prepared ourselves to throw away the name “Harusame”.
My liege, allow us to humbly align ourselves –the Division of Twelve with the Tendoushuu.
???: Gimmie a break...
Aren't you guys supposed to be pirates? If so, where'd you learn words like governance and leadership?
Gettin' hyped to join the Strawhats and have Luffy as your captain?
Do you guys....
Honestly still think of yourselves as pirates?

008
Dudes: U...
Umibozu!!
(Sfx- Gararaaa clatter)

009
Gintoki: Put some pep in your step and get your ass out here already! Why the hell do chicks have to drag their asses when it counts?
Shinpachi: C'mon, there are preparations that women have to make that men wouldn't get.
Kagura: Sorry to keep you waiting.
I could not decide on an outfit, yes?
(Sfx- Gefuuh buurp)
Gintoki: Whadya mean “outfit”?! You clearly had no trouble deciding on a meal, dammit!
In what way is THIS a woman?!
(Sfx- gari gari scrtch scrtch)
Sadaharu: Woof woof!!
Otose: Oh? What's the matter, Sadaharu?
Tama: Perhaps Gintoki-sama and the others have come back?
Catherine: He probably wants to take a leak. I sure wouldn't want those criminals back here.

010
Catherine: Go on and do your business!
(Sfx-Gararara clatter)
(Sfx- Hyuun wfft)
Sadaharu: Whiiine...

011
Some bloke: Well, well...
If it isn't the hero that we paid to wreck the seventh division.
Umibozu: Those Senate guys got no respect.
They made sure to keep their distance while keeping a balance with you guys to protect the organization.
Never woulda thought that their underlings would go and pitch the entire organization.
You don't actually think that joining the Tendoushuu is beneficial to you in any way do you?
They're ticks who devour entire planets.
Screw around with 'em too long, and it'll be your bleached bones that they're sucking on.
Utsuro: You needen't worry. Your reward at least hasn't been sucked away.
From what I hear, you had old acquaintances in the senate, so they asked you to clean up the seventh division.
I realize that your employers no longer exist, but I most certainly wouldn't mind picking up your tab.

012
Umibozu: It wasn't a job worth even being paid for, honestly.
By the time I engaged the Seventh division, they were already mostly annihilated along with their base, just waiting at death's door.
I ain't the type to get involved in messy fights like that.
That's what you ordered right?
Utsuro: I was under the impression that even the Universe's top hunter...
Might find it a mite difficult to hunt his own son.
Perhaps I was meddling in affairs I shouldn't have?
Umibozu: Man...
you really know what's up, huh?
Strictly speaking I've never stuck my nose into interal politics between organizations with bonding issues.
Rather than picking sides, it's easier to just pull the whole thing up by it's roots and destroy it that way.
But even I've gotta repay debts to old acquaintances.
Do you pirates understand why I got involved and helped you out?

013
Umibozu: It's cause I wanna kill that shitstain of a son first.
That monster was born out of my testicles.
So then the one who's job it is to put him out of his misery...
Is the dude who's got the balls that put him out in the first place.
So let me make this crystal clear....
This is my responsibility.

014
Kagura: I am...
going with you.
Both: No one else is allowed to kill him---to kill Kamui.

015
(Signs- Forbidden entry.)
(Paper- Requesting leave of absence.)
Gintoki: That dumbass...
Requesting time off?
Even if she goes out of her way to write this crap...
The Yorozuya's already...

016
Shinpachi: The Yorozuya..
Hasn't gone anywhere yet.
We're definitely going to come back to resume our job...
Right?
Gin-san?
Gintoki: Don't say anything else.
Even I don't know what the hell is going on.
What am I supposed to do as his disciple...
Or as their classmate?
In the end, the one thing...
I do get...

017
(Papers- Leave of Absence.)
Gintoki: And that's my job as the Yorozuya.
Listen up guys, this time off is special.
Go tour the universe or whatever you wanna do, but...
We're all definitely going to come back here.
Three people and one mutt.
(Side text- The Yorozuya head to space!!!)
