{The Dragon of Katsurahama...}
{Sakamoto Tatsuma...}
{The Noble youth of fury...}
{Katsura Kotaro..}

002
{Shiroyasha...}
{Sakata Gintoki.}
{There was a time...}
{Where they fought alongside Shinsuke in the patriot wars.}
{Why are such legendary men...}
{In a place like this?}

003
Gintoki: Thanks for leading us here.
Nobume: I'd advise you hurry.
Nobunobu has long since discovered our movements.
There's nothing more he desires than revenge.
I'll take care of things here on Earth...
So you all should find a way to deal with the rest.
Shinpachi: Nobume-san...
(Sfx- Zahh sffft)

004
Nobume: May I ask just one thing?
Are you here as Shoyou's disciple? Or as Takasugi's comrade?
Gintoki: We came as the Yorozuya who do jobs as requested.
Let me ask you something...
Are you giving us a hand as Shoyou's disciple? Or as Takasugi's comrade?
Nobume: It's because you're all so similar..

005
Nobume: You have the same dopey looking face...
as him.
It's so foolish really...
Gintoki: We sure are.
Both You and I...

006
Katsura: Gintoki...
Sakamoto: Looks like....
The leads have all assembled.
Let's ship out boys!!

GINTAMA
Lesson 557: The bad brats from back then.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Some dude: The Kaientai?
Sakamoto Tatsuma....in the past he once was a member of the Shitennou who fought alongside Takasugi in the patriot wars.
Intel states that his fleet has mingled with that of Katsura's faction and both groups have gathered on a ship leaving Earth.
It's likely that the ones who infiltrated the Harusame during the battle with the seventh division...
And saved the remains of the Kihetai is his group.
Utsuro: I see.
So they gathered their old forces together to save an old friend?

008
Utsuro: It's as I figured....It will be Shouyou's students,
Who will struggle against me until the very end.
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmble)
Bansai: What are the lot of you,
planning?
Why did you assist us, assist the Kiheitai?
You and Shinsuke have long since parted ways have you not?
So why have you all gathered again,
and in space no less?

009
Sakamoto: Dude, it's really only Zura and Gintoki who have a bone to pick with Takasugi!
(Sfx- Gahahahaah)
Sakamoto: Even since the good ol' days that's how they've operated. When they finally stop fightin' long enough to agree on something, they end up fighting over how to achieve it and stuff.
Katsura: As if someone who believes the entire universe comes with a price tag would understand what it is he's done!
Gintoki, you tell him about all of the scandalous things he's done up until now!!
Gintoki: Takasugi did one terrible thing, Takasugi did two bad things....
Katsura: Look at him! There are so many horrible things that he can barely stay awake to list them all!
You went and helped that man who's no more than evil's visage didn't you Sakamoto?
Let's hear it then, what about Takasugi's conduct merits saving?!
There's one merit to saving Takasugi....
(Sfx- Dosaaah thuuud)
Shinpachi: SO THERE ARE TOO MANY GOOD THINGS TO COUNT?!

010
Shinpachi: Quit messing around already! You guys are clearly just tired!!
Sakamoto: Cut 'em some slack. Once we start fightin' tha war, we ain't gonna have the luxury of sleep. Samurai know how to preserve their energy before fightin'.
Shinpachi: Big talk from a guy who barely has the energy to keep from hurling whenever he's on a ship!!
(Sfx- Oboroshaaa hoooooorhhhg)
Mutsu: Some intel leaked from the Harusame...
(Sfx- Zaahhh sfft)
Mutsu: That soon they'd embark on a operation ---one to seek and destroy the Seventh division and the Kiheitai.
I got this from a pretty reliable info source.
So we set out based on this information....
and Sakamoto's orders.
Bansai: Who gave you such information?
Mutsu: That's need to know info only.
I can say for sure though, that Takasugi is still alive.
That much is certain.

011
Mutsu: You guys have an incredible power as an enemy.
If we don't join forces, only death awaits us.
Sakamoto: Seein' as we lent you guys a hand...
I'd say it's fair pickin's for you guys to pitch in too.
Bansai: We can't possibly...
Sakamoto: Sure ya can.
I haven't tha foggest idea as to why these guys and Takasugi are on the outs...
But I'll betcha anything that it ain't some trivial, run of the mill reason.
Though when compared to the scope of the Universe it's small beans.
From my point of view, these guys haven't changed one damn bit...
From the rotten friends they were back then,
Who'd pick a fight as soon as they caught a glimpse of each other.

012
Sakamoto: It's been tha same way since the good ol' days...
They'd start fightin...
And I'd be the bigger guy, and play the role of mediator.
It don't have to be long, but...
I'd really like to see that guy Takasugi...
Go back to bein that...
Worthless brat he used ta be.
Shinpachi: Sakamoto-san...
Ship dudes: Captaaaaaain!!

013
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmmmble)
Guys: Wh—what's that?!
???: Esteemed Gentlemen...
I regret to inform you of this, but your space adventure isn't going to happen.
Because I will crush you all...
Into space dust.

014
Bansai: Tokugawa Nobunobu!!
This is ridiculous...!!
That the Shogun himself would personally come here....
(Sfx- Zaaah sffft)
Sakamoto: Cut me some slack, man...
This dude's up to this again?
Nobunobu: Sakata Gintoki...
Did you really believe you could escape the palm of my hand if you fled to space?
Did you for a second believe that the stone you cast at my administration...
Would...
EVER BE OVERLOOKED BY THE HEAVENS THEMSELVES?!
(Sfx- Goouun Gouuun vooooom)
Nobunobu: No matter where in the universe you run....
You will never escape my grasp!! Your death is a divine edict penned by the Heavens!!
(Sfx- Dodooooon boooom)

015
Nobunobu: What is the meaning of this?!
A bombardment?!
(Sfx- Gogogogo rmmmmble)
Someone else: B—Bombardment? How can that be when they haven't move?!
Moreover the gulf of military strength they have when compared to us is despair worthy!
It didn't come from the front...
But from behind!!
We've got an enemy on our backs?
Ridiculous!! The radar didn't pick up anything...
(Sfx- Zoooooohhh fwoooom)
Someone else: N—No way...
Could it be...this isn't cannon fire...
But a ship with optical camouflage?!

016
Someone else: The fleet before us is a decoy!!
It's separate from the main fleet...
{Kaientai main fleet.}
{Bakfu fleet.}
{Assault ship.}
Someone else: Stealth technology that trumps our radar technology?! Moreover it's behind our fleet
Nobunobu: What....is this....
T—Then you're saying...
Someone else: Shogun-sama! You must make haste and flee!!
The enemy has already....
(Sfx- Dooooon baboooom)

017
???: Ohh?
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
???: So this is your new administration, eh?
Back when we were on the field fightin',
I remember the opponent being much tougher.
Your country...
Is one we could take out in five pages.
