Gintama 558

So uh, this is a thing. Yes it's Wednesday, and yes I'm up at 1am. All other questions can be directed to the bad decision monster who lives in my home, and apparently dictates my life.



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

GINTAMA
(Side text- The Anime airs on TV Tokyo and it's affiliates every Wednesday night at 6pm!!//The Climax of the “Farewell Shinsengumi arc” is contained in Volume 60 which is out in stores!!)
Some dude: You...
You bastards!!
D—Don't you dare move!
If you do...
My fleet will open fire...
And bathe your fleet in a maelstrom of simultaneous gunfire!

002
Gintoki: I'm game. Go ahead and try it.
Lessee if you guys will annihilate our fleet first,
Or if we'll...
Bag the head of a shogun first.
Dudes: P--
Protect the Shogunnnnnn!!!

GINTAMA
Lesson 558: Hometown.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

006
{This situation...}
{That was once on the brink of despair...}

007
{In the blink of an eye they've overturned it...}
{These are...}
{The men that fought alongside Shinsuke.}
Someone: ALL SHIPS CEASE FIREEEEE!!!

008
(Sfx- Pihh beep)
Gintoki: Hey guys! Lets stop the fighting, yeah?
We're already bosom buddies!
Dude, it's like totally awesome we were able to talk for a little while and clear up that huuuge misunderstanding.
Considering that the shogun's thin eyebrows, we weren't sure if he was laughing or upset.
Katsura: In any case we have also solved that misunderstanding as well.
What should be laughed at is not his eyebrows but that close haircut of his.
It's rather strange you'd have a haircut befitting an old man.
Sakamoto(?): Wahahaah! If that's the case, I'd say an old dude with long hair is even weirder, Zura!
Katsura: Not long hair, but Katsura!!
Gintoki(?): So essentially we came to an agreement that Zura would shave his head.
Katsura: Why the hell would I agree to having hair like that?!

009
Gintoki: Moreover, our pal the Shogun has stated that he will extend a sign of peace and invite more to our “Eagle cut” hair association.
However, while we would love to meet those from around the universe with an eagle cut...
We're just gonna have to cut the current operations short and ask you guys to head home to Earth like good vassals.
Nobunobu: There's no need for that.
I assume you mean to take me as a hostage and escape,
But there's no escape for you fools or those vassals.
If you cannot kill these rebels,
Then you slash your bellies, pure and simple.
You so called vassals were useless enough that you weren't able to protect a single man –the Shogun...
To associate myself with failures like you lot is a disgrace I cannot stomach.
In my new era, vassals who cannot perform their duties are the same as rebels.
So choose your fate. Will you cut down the enemy? Or yourselves?
Well? Don't waste time, stand up.
Do you not hear my orders? Do you not know who I am?

010
Nobunobu: The Shogun who subjugates barbarians, Tokugawa Nobuno--
BUGH
(Sfx- Dodoohhh Thoooom)

011
Bansai: Vassals who protect the shogun...
Needn't be prepared to offer up their lives.
Leave.
I daresay...
That this country no longer has a lord worth such efforts.
(Sfx- Punnn zzt)
Gintoki: Aww man, he's gone and busted another tooth, this Shogun..
Bansai: How is he?
Gintoki: The Bakfu's been taken down....Never thought that something I've wished to happen for so many years would actually go down so easily in a place like this.

012
Bansai: It's not as if that wish has come true.
No matter what doll it is and where it's done, taking the head of a doll won't change this country one bit.
He cast aside the Shinsengumi, the Mimawarigumi and his own vassals..
The ones who could stop this, and the ones who could protect him are gone. Bringing down an empty castle like his is...
Simply a waste.
How ironic it is...
This man who is the benefactor of an entire country is now alone...
While that man..
Who's wings are broken and has fallen to the ground has gathered so much.

013
Bansai: Shinsuke...
Has you all.
{If it's these men then...}
{Possibly Shinsuke could once again..}
Bansai: There was something I was never meant to tell you...
Should there an unforeseen accident, and our forces should be scattered..
We appointed a secret place where we would rendezvous.
{I'm sorry Shinsuke.}
{You'll rebuke me for this I'm sure, but...}

014
{To fight the Harusame, we will need their strength.}
{No, more than even that, as I myself have seen.}
{I just wonder now...}
{What kind of expression you had when you lived with these men.}
{Shinsuke.}

015
???: Whatta refined sleeping face this guy's got.
I wonder how many war fires people have set right outside his eyelids?
Sleepin' there with his refreshed face as he's snoozing in dream country.
Seems like our leaders are all good for-nothing losers.
Geez. I wonder what kind of dreams our commander was having..
While the seventh division was being annihilated?
The guy who said that we should gather here if something happens was him after all.

016
???: But geez...
I can't believe he'd really choose here..
The abandoned planet Rakuyou...
A planet completely drained by wars and violence to the point that it's been rendered a vacant lot.
Those from every star who don't want to be pursued hol themselves here...
So I figured this might be the sort of place to come to when hiding from the Harusame,
But to me...
It's a hometown where...
All I can think of things I don't want to be bothered with.
(TN- Rakuyou means “setting sun.”)

017
Abuto: I do wonder if the monster family...
Feels a thing like
Nostalgia?
(Side text- And it's here where that parent and child reside...)
