Gintama 579

Have the readers of this translation found the one they'd like to travel the stars and slay some orochi with?



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


(Sfx- Dododooohhh Thoooom)
GINTAMA
{A long time ago on the ruined...}
{Yato mother planet...}
{On this star of death...}
{Where not a single person should have been...}
{Was where a woman made her stand.}
(Side text- The one Umibozu met there was...)

002
(Sfx- Basaaah fwap)
{I too made a stand.}
Umibozu: You're...
To think there really was...
Someone here...
On this planet of death.

003
Umibozu: Hey! Wait!
???: This planet...
Isn't dead.
While it is true that the soil is withered, the water is rotten..
thus making it impossible for people to live here..
Those things that eat the withered soil..
are still here and live.
Those things that drink the rotted water
Are still here and live.
I am here, and live.
The planet is alive, and many organisms still live on it's surface. It is just “people” that ruined it.
You people just judge it using your own standards.
You should leave.
I'd rather not
They—the orochi still have to be subjugated

004
{At that moment...}
{I understood.}
{This planet's master was...}
{None other than this woman.}

Lesson 579: Kouan's master.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

005
Umibozu: H—hey!
W-wai...
(Sfx- Dododoooonnn thoooom)
(Sfx- Zuzuzhhh dssshhh)
(Sfx- Dooooon booooom)
Umibozu: Do you not hear me telling you to wait?!

006
(Sfx- Gaoooon thooom)
(Sfx- Dooooon booom)
Umibozu: Outta the way!!
Hey!!
Listen to me, will ya?!
{This woman is dangerous.}
{Getting involved with her probably means death.}
{That's what my instincts were yelling at me.}
{However at the same time my instincts said...|}

007
Umibozu: U—um, miss?
If you've got a minute, rather than subjugating this orochi, how about exterminating the orochi in my pants?
(Sfx- gachaa click)
(Sfx- Dokaaaaaah booooom)
{There was none other than this woman...}
{For three days and three nights she...}
{Fought hard to suppress the orochi.}
{And I too for three days and three nights..}
{Kept trying to holler at her to help with suppressing my orochi.}

008
{More than being love at first sight, rather it was the awaking of savage primal instincts.}
Umibozu: How about some tea?!
{It was like I had been dragged back to the time I was a brat, flustered and completely at odds with my instincts.}
{However she didn't even give me a glance over her shoulder.}
{She had defeated her fifty ninth orochi...}
{And the orochi had just started to draw back...}
(Sfx- buchiiii glmp)

009
{When I...}
{Had managed to supress my final orochi too.}
{It wasn't about instincts anymore...}
{I wanted to talk to her using my words.}
Umibozu: My name is Kankou.
I'd like to hear your name...
The next time I come around.
That is if the master of Kouan has a minute to talk, though.
(Sfx- Zath sfft)
???: You hung around for three days to say this?

010
Umibozu: When one comes knocking at someone else's door, they have an obligation of giving their name.
Sorry for making a big fuss.
Oh, and sorry about what I was doing to your folks... the Orochi.
Master-dono.
???: This isn't someone else's house...
This the home planet of you guys....the yato.
If you feel up to returning then you can do so.
Moreover, as far as I know...
You're the only one who's bothered to try knocking on the door of their old home like this...
Umibozu: Well, it's not exactly like I came here to say hi to the Orochi or you, I was just horny is all.
Everyone else has forgotten this planet.
???: Maybe we're all just happy that...
Someone remembered us.

011
???: Moreover...
I am not the master of Kouan...
I'm Kouka.
{So from then on, when I would make brief trips to my hometown...}
{Eventually the Orochi stopped attacking me.}
Kouka: So has this planet recognized you as it's ally?
Or perhaps maybe as it's new master?
If you're in charge, I'm sure you'll work quite hard.
Umibozu: Not when there's nothing to eat here.
Kouka: But there is. Rotten soil and water aplenty.
Umibozu: If it were me, ten days here is too much.
How the hell do you manage to live in a place like this, Kouka?

012
Kouka: Same as you guys...
If I didn't live on this planet, then it really would have been abandoned.
I can only live here, however...
So I stay here.
The survivors of the great war were few in number. The Yato spread themselves thin, scattering to other planets and living there.
However there were those who couldn't abandon their homeland, and made the choice to travel the road of death and remain here.
A planet buried in poison will give birth to poisonous life.
While many live short lives and then die here, there are a few hardy ones who adapt to the environment and live.
I am the last descendant of that praiseworthy clan.
Should I feel like it, I could probably eat those smelly rubber boots of yours and live..
But I think i'd rather die.
Umibozu: However, if your family or friends aren't here, there's no point in eating my shoes is there?
Kouka: But there's no reason for me to leave either.
Umibozu: Any place would be heaven when compared to this.
More like...aren't you lonely?

013
Kouka: Lonely?
You think if I felt something like that,
I'd have a reason to leave this planet?
If that's the case, such an emotion...
Even if I had it at one point was something I forgot a long time ago.
I was born on this planet.
I'm not a child who needs someone to swing my crib for me to sleep at night. I can get by on my own.
I'm not at all sure what you see when you look out upon this planet, but...
For me, I see a place where I am not confined and can live whatever way I want.
Don't you think that's great?
I can read wherever I want on the planet, and sing as loudly as I want without bothering others.
And once in a while....
I can have witty banter with guests.

014
{I eventually decided to stop by and talk to Kouka about other planets.}
{Figuring that with baby steps, she'd hear about far away places and eventually want to leave the planet.}
{However she just smoked her pipe and looked into the distance with a bored expression.}
{While I talked at her about faraway places.}
{One time when I was talking, she interrupted me and said...}
Kouka: Kankou, that's enough talk.
I'm...
tired of...
just talking.
I want to see them...
These other planets myself.
Umibozu: But you...
Kouka: From afar is fine.
Would you take me along?

015
{She stared at the planet silently with the same expression...}
{Like she was bored, but at least she had finally left there.}
Umibozu: Ain't it pretty?
Generally speaking, people live on those planets too.
However it's a wide universe, and there are more and more places out there. Ever heard of Earth?
Kouka: Earth?
Umibozu: It's far off, and they've only recently opened up, but the water is blue, the soil fertile and the seasons beautiful.
Kouka, would you like to go there together?
To earth, I mean.
No, not just Earth y'know, all kinds of planets...anywhere you wanna go.
I, Umibozu could take you to whatever planet you desire to go to.
After all you're...
You're my...

016
Umibozu: My...
L—Partner!! Yeah!
You're my Business partner!!
If the two of us team up we'd be the most badass alien hunters in the universe! D—Don't you think so?
Kouka: Partners, huh?
That doesn't sound too bad...
If we can do something like that, that is.
It would certainly...
Be fun.
{She gazed at my ship for a longer time than usual...}
{When I left that day.}

017
{The next time I stopped off at Kouan...}
{Her living place was like was like an empty shell.}
{It was then I realized...}
{She had always been there to see me off...}
{And that day too...}
{I searched for her for twelve days without eating or drinking..}
{And couldn't find her anywhere.}
{It was there that an Orochi quietly stood...}

018
Kouka: My, my. This is quite the problem.
At some point I managed to get this far in taming the orochi...
And I really thought we wouldn't meet again.
So why did..
You come all the way here?
I told you before, didn't I?
That this is is the planet where my clan died.
I've lived here by myself this whole time...
I've always thought it was best that I live on my own...
yet...
(Sfx- Zuzuhhh sffft)

019
Kouka: Why am I feeling such emotions now?
Umibozu: I'm sorry Kouka..
But I'm the same as you.
No matter how exciting a planet is,
or how many people walk it's surfaces..
If you're not there,
I'm just lonely.
