Gintama 591

Listening to Alabama Shakes' "Gimme all your love" while translating this really fit for some reason. It also gave me some hope that American music circa 2003 isn't all trash.



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

GINTAMA
(Side text- The school's name is...)
Utsuro: Shouka Sonjyuku.
Right now it's only the two of us,
But someday underneath this pine tree...
Many friends, and many students will gather.
Oboro: Students?
Utsuro: Indeed. Right now you might be the weakest of the Naraku, but from here on in you will be the eldest student of this school.
So you and I...
Have our work cut out for us.
Oboro: Y...
Yes..
Underclassmen huh...

002
Oboro: I look forward to it.
GINTAMA
Lesson 591: Blood and soul.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
(Side text- The pursued duo...)
{We can't escape...}
{No matter how great Sensei is...}
{If he's got to take me along...}
{Then if anything else...}
Oboro: Sensei, this is...

003
Utsuro: Traps to delay our pursuers.
They aren't meant to kill of course.
I did not make you my student so that you'd learn such things.
No need to worry, I will protect you.
{We will run away...}
{Without killing anyone.}
(Sfx- Pota pota drip drip)

004
Naraku: You were the child with the leader...~
(Sfx- Dosaaah Thuuud)
Naraku: Hey!
What happened?
Get a hold of yourself.
(Sfx-Hah hah hah)
Oboro: I helped the leader escape.

005
Oboro: However...
Because of the number of pursuers...
He deemed me a hindrance and abandoned me.
Naraku: Where is he?
Wait.
I can confirm that this is the leader's sword.
However...
Why are you still alive?
(Sfx- Zobooohhh blooosh)
Naraku: Our boss...
A man who can kill in a single blow,
Would fail to kill...
A single brat like you?

006
(Sfx- Dodooohh Thoook)
Oboro: It's not that he failed to kill me...
It's that he won't.
Sensei won't...
ever kill anyone again.
I won't let him kill anyone ever again.

007
{Sensei...}
{I'm so sorry.}
{But I'll have to break our promise.}
{From the time where Sensei gave me life...}
{Life to this dead body...}
{I had already decided that I'd have to leave him.}

008
{If I can't even protect his will...}
{And the students that I have yet to meet...}
{Then I can't call myself his first student, right?}
{Certainly, sensei...}
{Our school...}
{The Shouka sonjyku...}
(Sfx- Dodooooon thoooom)

009
Naraku: What the hell was that?
The ninth battalion has been taken out by a landslide..!!
Oboro: Sensei...
Thought I had died after that but,
his immortal blood flowing through my body,
kept me alive
And I continued to work loyally for him as I pledged.

010
Oboro: The Naraku expunged my betrayal and took me in.
It was there that I took root..
And strove to keep their claws...
from reaching Sensei.
In order for me to easily move up the ranks of that ridgid organization...
I had to act against Sensei's teachings and dye my hands in blood.
Even if I could never stand by his side again...
I thought that...
If I could just protect,
The will that he carried...
That would be,
Enough.

011

012
Oboro: I thought....
That would be enough..
But I was the same as all of you.

013
Oboro: I killed my master...
in order to bring him back.
The one who captured that man was me.
Even then...
I thought I had taken him back.

014
Oboro: Even then.
I believed he would return.
You and I are the same.
Because of our weakness we lost our master.
There's only,
One difference.
One of us made a vow...
Even if it's completely different thing that came back upon our master's corpse...
(Sfx- Zuhhshh dsshhh)
Oboro: To never again betray that person.

015
Oboro: The other one,
vowed...
(Sfx- Zushiiih dsshhh)
Even if they have to kill their master once again...
Even if they lose their place with their master forever...
(Sfx- Zaatsuhhh dssssh)
Oboro: That they'd take him back...

016
Oboro: Our fates were sealed from the moment,
we both possessed the same master.
I will...
Until this blood that my master gave me dries up continue to stand before you.
So you too should...
Keep fighting.
Until that soul that he gave you,
rots away,
{Keep fighting.}

017
{That's what it is to be...}
{Us ---The students of Yoshida Shouyou.}
(Sfx- Gashaaan clatter)
Naraku: Come out.
It's time.
Do you have any...
Last wills?

018
Utsuro: To my student...
It was thanks to you,
I was able to meet those children.
It's thanks to you that I was able to be Yoshida Shouyou.
Thank you,
And I'm sorry.
If it was at all possible, I would have liked you to meet them.
Those children and my proud...
first student.
(Sfx- Zaatshhahhh dssssh)

019
{I've been watching them for quite some time now...}
{Sensei.}
{Those proud...}
{Underclassmen.}
(Sfx- Dooohhh thoooom)
(Side text- Perhaps they are on the same path together...)
