Gintama 590

Truly there is no relationship more integral to itself than teaching and being taught.



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

(Side text- In the darkness...)
(Sfx- Hah...hah....)
{It had only been a moment earlier..}
{That I recognized these things...}
{That had now become...}
{Unrecognizable.}

002
Naraku: Is that...
everything?
Yeah...

003
Naraku: Everything....
Is finished.
???: Will I be...
a “thing” like that?

004
Oboro: Is this...
Death?
Shinigami?

GINTAMA
Lesson 590: Number one disciple.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
(Side text- At the end of despair...)

005
(Sfx- Dooohhh Thoooom)
Matako: Damn they're persistent! Just how long are they going to tail us?!
Henpeita: Shinsuke-dono.
We have been separated from Katsura and the Kaientai. At this rate...
Takasugi: Divided?
I don't remember ever being in line with them from the start.
I don't intend to owe them more than I do.
And what I do owe, I plan to repay –interest and all.

006
Takasugi: Of course...
that includes you.
Oboro.

007
Oboro: So they're here?
Good work leading them.
The Harusame has begun their retreat.
So you all should do the same.
(Sfx- Gogogogo rmmmmmble)
Oboro: Get moving.
Act as Utsuro-sama's limbs.
Matako: What the hell are you playin' at?
Harusame is retreating?
You're out here to crush rebel forces like us ain't ya?
Oboro: We hadn't expected you to actually survive this death trap.
However undertaking this war was not for this purpose, in fact he has already accomplished what he set out to to.
When compared to the significance of him achieving his long sought after desire...
The struggle of a few insects before him on the ground isn't even worth mentioning.

008
Takasugi: If that's the case...
Why did you come here?
To offer excuses..
As to why those insects waged war against you and won?
Oboro: I know well..
Insects can go from crawling on the ground...
to growing wings and taking flight.
And sometimes those wings when flapped enough can reach heaven.
Those insects, no matter how many times their wings are plucked, and they are thrown back to the ground,
Continue to struggle and resist.
As someone who received wings from the same man..
I know all too well.

009
Takasugi: The same man?
Do you mean that ridiculous monster crow and Sensei?
Yoshida Shoyou is dead.
And now the chance for revenge stands before me.
Oboro: It matters not.
Whether it is Yoshida Shouyou or Utsuro..
My role is...
To eliminate any obstacles in his path.
I will use the embers left in my life's flame..
To burn your wings off!!

010
Utsuro: An existence that is simultaneously...
By death side, yet furthest from it.
That is what a shinigami.
Humans like you are meant to be born, age, grow old and then die.
But I neither age nor will I die.
I just continue to live without changing or end.
So the emotions that one like you who is on death's doorstop is experiencing are foreign to me.
For me, who cannot change....
This is all I can do for you.
(Sfx- Dohh fwissh)

011
Utsuro: Despite it all...
I will still try to understand people..
Despite it all,
I will struggle...and become human.
Utsuro: Why are...
you...
(Sfx- dokuuun Thump)
Utsuro: I'm sorry...
I can't even die for you as an enemy.
My sins aren't ones that death can cleanse.
The most I can do for you..

012
Utsuro: Is hope you'll live...
And resent me.
(Sfx- Gakkiiiiiinnn claaaaaaang)
{I died...}
{Back then.}
{I became a mere “thing”}
{Like the others there.}
{As such, I decided I would become that man's thing.}

013
{In any case, I was a slave who got caught up in a bid for power and sold.}
{It was my fate to die as a insect that no one would remember.}
{So until the life I was given burnt out...}
{I told myself I would serve him.}
Utsuro: Dear me. You've grown to be quite problematic.
I told you to go once your injuries were healed, did I not?
It was us who stole your place to live...the Naraku.
Staying here is tantamount as accepting assassination as your career.
Oboro: I want you to teach me, Sensei. If there's any way I can be useful to you then consider it done.
Utsuro: I am no sensei.
To me, you are what a sensei ought to be...someone I respect and admire.
It isn't the type of word an assassin should use. I cannot give anything to anyone.
In fact, I would like to join children and learn from them.
Perhaps I may even learn of a means to cleanse my bloodstained hands.
Oboro: Then why not do it yourself?
Become a sensei, and work hard alongside students at a school?
I am positive that this suits you much more, Sensei.

014
Utsuro: A school for assassination can only teach dangerous techniques to whomever comes to it's doors.
(Sfx- boki boki crack crack)
Oboro: Yet you have taught me nothing of the sort, right?
If you were truly an evil person, I would already be one of the best assassins.
So let's give up on assassination techniques.
Please allow me...
To become the number one disciple of your school.
(Sfx- Hyaaan hyaaan Fwffff fwfff)
(Sfx- Ga ga ga ga thok thok thok)
(Sfx- Fuhh fwppp)
(Sfx- Gaoooon thooom)
(Sfx- Dogooohhh boooom)

015
(Sfx- Gara gara clatter)
Dude: Our leader has fled.
We have long since suspected that he has been derelict in his assassination duties, and even aiding targets in escape.
And then disappearing when an investigation into his actions was launched.
It is common knowledge that leaving our group is forbidden.
Keep these particulars in mind, and search for him.
(Sfx- Hah hah...)
Utsuro: Oho, and here I thought I had finally gotten away from that place, --the Naraku.
Oboro: Sensei!

016
Oboro: How can you be so carefree?! Do you know what's happening to the organization?
Utsuro: If I didn't do this much, It'd be difficult to lure you outside, no?
The most prudent way to separate you from the Naraku was to leave myself.
Oboro: Sensei, you're not saying...
Utsuro: No, I have had this evil scheme in mind even before you came.
However it may have been because of you that I finally had the resolve to do it.
I have committed crimes that even death cannot absolve me for, it's true. Which is why I must continue to live and make up for what I have done.
I will fight the good fight against the shinigami within me.
Oboro: H—However it's because of me the organization is in pursuit of you.
Utsuro: And you are one of them...if you still consider yourself a member of the Naraku.
But I will gladly accept you as one of my own.
We made a promise, no?
That you would be my number one disciple.
(Sfx- Giiiin gan gan claaang, crasssh)
(Sfx- Dofuuuh thoooom)

017

018
Oboro: Shouka Sonjyuku? What is that?
Utsuro: That is what I will name my school.
Oboro: What does it mean?
Utsuro: Fitting for a school which was just born...
Under a pine tree.
(TN- Shouka means “Underneath pine trees.)
Utsuro: For now, it's just you and I,
But it is my hope we will have many comrades and disciples gathered here under this pine tree with us.

019
Oboro: Disciples, hm?
I'm looking forward to it.
