Gintama 585

Listening to Monster's first ED: For the love of life while translating this really fit for some reason.



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

GINTAMA
Umibozu: I think...
Kagura has it in mind that she can save him.
She might say hateful things about him,
But she still wants him to go back to being the older brother he used to be.
If the two of you –that is, you and Kamui...
Ever have to fight each other...
I'm sure she'll still feel the same way.
Your Earthlings are strange.
You erect graves for the ones you hate...
Though behind hatred is an equal amount of love.
Maybe you Earthlings...
Can find an answer I couldn't...one different than the one I settled on.

002
{He's trying to...}
{Take Kamui's hostility...}
{his fists.}
{and...}
{Shoulder them himself, then?}

003
Gintoki: That exaggerated sounding title you've been seeking, pales in comparison..
To the perfect title you already have....
“Stupid big brother!!”

GINTAMA
Lesson 585: Title.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
{To protect this family...}
{And Kagura's feelings...}

004
Kamui: Stupid big brother...
Let's say there was even a remnant of something like that within me...

005
Kamui: It would have died today.
(Sfx- Doooon thooom)
Kamui: And it's taking you...
Her stupid big brother from earth to the grave with it.
(Sfx- Dogyaaahhh thuuuud)

006
(Sfx- Dooooh boooom)
(Sfx- Goohh thuuoom)
{However...}
{You're crazy.}
{Do you actually think an Earthling..}
{Can beat Kamui –a yato?}
{Right now, his strength...}
{Far surpasses even Housen.}

007
(Sfx- Goshaaah thhooom)
Kamui: I...
Myself wanted to become empty...
(Sfx- Doohh thuuud)
Kamui: For only one who is empty..
Has enough room within them to become the vessel for the title known as “strongest”.
(Sfx- karaaan clatter)
Kamui: You were satisfied living on your tiny little planet...
Protecting an even more insignificant family.
If you weren't prepared to become empty to begin with, and weren't seeking emptiness why did you dare to stand before me?
In the end, you'll die meaninglessly, unable to protect anything.`
It was us....her stupid big brothers...
Who took,
Everything from her.
Kagura: Gin-chaaaaaaaaan!!!

008
(Sfx- Dooooooon boooooom)
(Sfx- Mishshhh grinnnd)
(Sfx- Goshaaa thooood)
(Sfx- Bushiiii bllllorsh)

009
(Sfx- Gogaaahhhh thooooom)
(Sfx- Basaaaaahhh thoooom)
Gintoki: What the hell are you even talking about...
Prepared to be empty? Are you hearing yourself?
Kamui...
You're right, I'm a dude who's as far from the strongest as one can get.
Meanwhile, there's a chance you're closer....
However...
(Sfx- Birihhh shttt)
(Sfx- Karaaa caltter)
Gintoki: Losing here ain't part of the plan.

010
Gintoki: A strength that's got nothing to lose...
And nothing to protect, is on the same level of weakness.
You can't take shit from me...
If you've lost the resolve to protect or the resolve to lose something.
(Sfx- Hyaaaannn wfffft)
(Sfx- Dokaaaahh thoook)

011
Kamui: If you can't protect yourself....
What can you protect from me?
And if there's nothing you can protect,
then you didn't have those things from the start!
(Sfx- Dodooooohhh thooooom)

012
{Hesitation?}
{There's no way...}
{Not Kamui...}
{He shouldn't even know what that is...}
{Much less be capable of feeling it. With all of his superior strength, he can't possibly be subjugated..}
{No...}
{It's because he's superior that he's beginning to feel it...}
{It's not hesitation...}

013
{But unease.}
{He can sense it...within the eyes...}
{Of the man who won't stay down...}
{Even though he's in an inferior position that won't change.}
(Sfx- Dokaaah thudddd)
{He can tell that much...}
{Whenever he approaches him...}

014
{What is in that man's blade...}
(Sfx- Dosahaaa dsssh)
(Sfx- Dodooohh thuuud)
Umibozu: Just what...
Is he?
Shinpachi: He's the same....
As Kamui-san.

015
Kamui: What is it....
that you're seeing in those eyes of yours?
You're not looking at me, the enemy...
And your eyes glaze right over the title of “strongest”...
When you fought Housen...
And Shinsuke...
You were fighting in a place far beyond where you were standing.
Who is your enemy?
What enemy are you trying to defeat...
And what do you gain upon victory?
Gintoki: I was the same as you...
empty.

016
Shinpachi: As Kamui-san...
Sought out strong opponents to fight...
For the title of “strongest”...
He was...
Fighting too.
But for a different title...
separate from strongest..

017
Gintoki: I lost everything.
And because I knew loss I lived, afraid...
and empty.
Meaninglessly without a name.
What finally gave this empty vessel...
Meaning once again...
Were the ones who filled a place within me before I knew it.
Both your little sister and Shinpachi.

018
Gintoki: They all just oozed their way into me –my life before I realized it.
And once again I had a name.
When I realized it at long last...
I figured out I hadn't lost a damn thing.
I was just running away because I was afraid.
If one doesn't acknowledge the weakness within them,
Then they'll never find strength outside of themselves no matter where they look.
My enemy...
Is myself, right here.
I don't need a shitty title like “strongest”.
Or some garbage like “That stupid Earthling older brother”.

019
Gintoki: I am...
Gin-chan of the Yorozuya.
(Side text- A title worth fighting for....!)
