Gintama 580

You know what they say about life altering substances. --Location, location, location.



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

Kouka: Didn't I tell you before?
I am part of a clan that will die with this planet.
(Side text- At one time before, that couple was....)
Kouka: I've always lived by myself.
I have to live by myself...
Yet...why..
Am I feeling such emotions...
Remembering them 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...

002
Umibozu: If you're not there...
I'm just lonely.
I don't...
Want you to die alone.
If you're going to stay here...
Then so will I.
If you say there's somewhere you want to go...
I will go with you there.
So...

003
Umibozu: Die with me, Kouka.
Kouka: I...have betrayed my clan.
So you too will abandon this place? This planet...?
It feels like that's what the planet is saying to me.
(Sfx- Dodoooon Thooom)
Umibozu: You think so?

004
(Sfx- Ooooooohhhh roooooarrr)
Umibozu: To me...
It seems like they're thanking you.
They're saying something like “Thanks for everything up until now.”

005
{The orochi of that planet..}
{Had always been watching over her.}

GINTAMA
Lesson 580: Withered Flower.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

006
Mutsu: I see.
The legend ---Umibozu,
Who was the hero who liberated the yato home planet from the monstrous “Master of Kouan...”
Had actually in truth...
Gone to a annihilated planet, sweet talked the “Master of Kouan” and brought her with him.
In short, you're no more than a master pick up artist huh?
Umibozu: To hell with legends and that crap.
What I, Umibozu encountered there was the most powerful creature in the entire universe.
A “wife”.
Even I fell prey to her...I was no exception from any other male beast in the universe.
It's just a thing where I got my ass handed to me too.

007
Mutsu: Was that a blunder on your part?
The universe's strongest man became weakened by his family?
Umibozu: Don't knock it. A family is just another universe, y'know?
Mutsu: Still, it's quite a fine legend..
I think I prefer a mundane legend...
Blessed with a wife,
And children
Becoming a family...
Than one where a lonely beast is fated to die alone.
Umibozu: You ain't lying.
Rather than building up a legend of being the strongest,
A happiness made of such mundane things is much more valuable.

008
Umibozu: Back then...
I didn't know anything..
{I can't live anywhere but this planet...}
{Which is why I'm here.}
{I told you...}
{I am a member of a clan that will die with this planet.}
Umibozu: Of the truth...
In her words.

009
Umibozu: I was neither...
A father or a hero.
Kamui: He's a murderer.
That man...
He killed our father.

010
Dude: Uugh...
Kamui: Don't mess with me again.
Next time I won't be so nice.
Dude: We'll say it a million times if we hafta....
Take your germ infested family and get the hell out of town!!
Umibozu: What the hell are you dooooooiing?!!
Dudes: Oh shit, it's Umibozu!! Let's get outta here!
(Sfx- Dodoohhh thooom)
Kamui: Dad!

011
Umibozu: Quit picking on those weaker than you!!!
(Sfx- Gooohhh Thooom)
Kamui: For pete's sake! What fight were you looking at?!
They brought eight guys, EIGHT! No matter how you size it up, I was the victim, not the bully!
Umibozu: That's like comparing eight ants to an elephant. Don't go recklessly using yato strength.
Kamui: They're the ones who started it!
More like, you told me to get stronger, Dad!
Umibozu: I meant strong enough to protect your mother and Kagura.
As if there's an older brother who'd get his little sister involved in fights, right Kagura-chan?
(Sfx- Gohhh Thok)
Kagura: Dah~
Umibozu: My bad, I guess I've got two elephants on my hands.
Kamui: But those guys were talking about how Mom is spreading her sickness, and how she's virus infected.
They don't understand a damn thing!
Well....It's not like I understand anything either, to be honest.
Dad, what kind of sickness does Mom have? Can she really be cured?

012
Kamui: Is there nothing I can do for Mom?
Or anything I can do to hel you, Dad?
Umibozu: No...
What you've been doing up until now is more than enough. Just having you there at Mom's side is plenty helpful.
Just leave Mom's sickness to Dad. I'll find a way to cure her for sure.
So you too have to stop being reckless and doing things that'll make Mommy sad.
{I felt like I was being treated like a kid.}
{Mom's sickness couldn't be cured, and that man stopped coming back.}
{And I didn't have the strength to do anything about it.}
Umibozu: Become stronger.
{So I made myself become stronger.}

013
{If it were him, what would he do?}
{I thought about this endlessly...}
{Wondering if I had...}
{The same definition of becoming stronger as him.}
Kouka: Kamui, you've been fighting again haven't you?
Kamui: N—No I wasn't!
Kouka: You're just like your father...terrible at lying.
If you keep that up, you'll go bald.
(Handwritten- I've heard of that happening recently.)
Kamui: As if I would!
Kouka: Come here.
Kamui: I—I don't want to.
Kouka: Oh? Now there's one way you're different, That baldy's a softy when the time comes for it.
Kagura: Kagura want too! Kagura want too!
Kouka: It's big brother's turn today.

014
Kouka: Goodness, you're just like him...hanging out in foolish places...
I'm sorry.
You've had to bear quite the burden on your little back, haven't you...
But please, don't overdo it..
Just go on being yourself.
I prepared myself for something like this when I left that planet...
But to know I'd be with him...
I wanted to be at his side,
and the side of the family that we gave birth to.
So Kamui...
All of you just stay the way you are.
{And so I never understood too much about those who were strong.}
Dude: Who are those dudes in black?
Those are the Harusame. It seems they've come to do some business.
Damn...acting like they're big shots...

015
Dude: Perfect timing...I'm pissed and need to work off some steam,
And looky here, the sandbag shows up!
Kamui: You guys never learn.
Just leave me alone, will ya?
{Don't over do it.}
{Kamui, just go on being yourself.}
???: Stop.
(Sfx- Zaatshhh sffft)
Kamui: Kagura!
Kagura: Don't bully Kamui anymore.
Kamui promised Mammy...
That he wouldn't worry her anymore.
That he'd stay with us forever.
He promised!
Dude: Shut your face, brat.
(Sfx- Doohhh Thooom)
(Sfx- Gashaaaan craaaash)
Kamui: Kagura!!
Dude: I guess I can do a guy like you a favor...
And let you play with your little sister forever.

016
(Sfx- Dosasaaa thuuud)
???: Gimmie a break.
Seems like you kiddos have never been educated huh?
Protip, try taking the little enemy's little sister captive.
And then you, little rabbit...
If you don't wanna become a bad guy, you should at least be able to protect your little sister.
Dude: Hey Abuto, what are you doing?
Abuto: Nothing, just dealin' with some brats that happened to be in my way.

017
Umibozu: I thought I told you to stop getting into pointless fights.
If you brandish your strength thoughtlessly you only suppress your own power.
Kamui, you're mistaken if you want to be like others who are strong.
Why aren't you saying anything in response?
Kamui: I don't get it.
Just what is strength?
Is it not hurting others and getting beaten up in silence?
Or is it protecting family and yourself while hurting others...
Or is it...
Ignoring the family that wishes for you to stay by it's side?
And fighting alone?
I...
Just don't get it.

018
Umibozu: I don't...
get it either.
Kouka: Even with that, you're still going?
Umibozu: Yeah...
Kouka.
You're risking your life...
So that you can be by our side as we asked, so...
Then even if i'm away from all of you...
Your life connects us.
Even without the father...
Our family is protected.

019
Umibozu: The lone flower that bloomed on that planet..
Has wilted, and karma demands that I take responsibility.
Kamui: That flower is our mother.
Mom was born and altered by the altana on that planet of death.
As long as she absorbed the altana on that planet, she was immortal.
However without that altana she would die.
That man plucked that flower from that planet.
And killed her.
