Gintama 592

I did miss the gags, but not the pages filled with text that often accompany them.



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

(Side text- What he sees in the distance is…)
GINTAMA
Umibozu: Kou…Ka…
So that’s how it is..
Guess I screwed up pretty bad huh?
But…
Now I’m here with you at las—

002
(Sfx- Gara gara *clatter*)
Umibozu: But I can’t…
Go with you can I?
I don’t have an arm to catch you with..
Or an arm to reach the other side.
If a father can’t even pop his no-good brats one, or hold them…
What is he good for?
Kouka, please…
Tell me.

003
Mutsu: And here I thought you’d finally come to stay with us.
But I suppose that’s how you’ve always been.
Though I don’t think you’ll come back alive next time.
(Sfx- Zatshhh *Sffft*)
Mutsu: You regaled me with tales of adventure and bravado,
And then excused yourself to a place of death.

004
Mutsu: I eagerly anticipate what kind of story you’ll tell me now.
Umibozu: Is bellyaching like I’m suffering from heartburn good then?
GINTAMA
Lesson 592: Complaints
SORACHI HIDEAKI
(Side text- A story of a domestic fight…)

005
Abuto: Whatta pain in the ass those siblings are.
They run around wrecking shit to their heart’s content..
And then they just conk out like it’s not their problem.
It’s as if they’re saying “who’s next”?
Dude, I’m not as sturdy as you guys.
Gintoki: You ain’t lyin’.
If I had a pretty girl to rest my head on, I’d take the plunge head first.
Unfortunately…
It looks like these guys are the ones who showed up first.
We’ve got us a bunch of filthy assholes with their crotches exposed.
(Sfx- Zaaaah *sfft*)
(Sfx- Zaaaah *sfft*)
Gintoki: Not exactly the best dream.
Even now I feel like I’m in the grips of on hell of a nightmare.
If that’s the case, then I’d might as well look forward to waking up and getting to work.

006
Someone: Hold up!
Don’t jump to conclusions.
For one thing, I ain’t…
About picking dumbass fights against weak prey.
(Sfx- zaaah *sffft*)
Abuto: Shoukaku of the Sankyousei!
Someone: Let’s pick up that previous conversation.
We lost to the likes of you samurai…
And were tossed aside by our master, so we’re on the same sinking ship as you guys.
Abuto: Tossed aside? You’re a bit off there, bud.
That implies that you guys don’t just ignore rules or laws you don’t like.

007
Shoukaku: At the very least…
We aren’t gonna feign loyalty to a guy who..
Doesn’t have even the slightest notion of what a pirate’s dignity is.
Don’t get it twisted, a pirate isn’t the sorta guy who fights as a tool for a conqueror.
Being a pirate has much more freedom than that.
That’s what I was thinkin’ when I saw you go toe to toe with that conqueror.
Compared to us, you guys looked like you were having more fun.
Batou: Pirates fight against the status quo. That’s just who we are.
The fight that we sought wasn’t on that side.
While we’re on the subject…
Let me ask you, seventh division…
The spear of the Harusame hasn’t been broken has it?

008
Abuto: Dunno.
I can’t tell either.
I have no idea whether the dude lying there is…
The leader of the Seventh squad or just someone’s older brother.
Though let me just say this straight out…
This doesn’t suit him.
Whether he’s on the battlefield, or his little sister’s lap…
Lying down just doesn’t suit you.

009
Abuto: Hell, being collapsed from defeat,
Isn’t a good look for you.
Kamui: Then…
I won’t anymore, not to anyone.

010
Kamui: Be defeated, that is.
I’ve lived longest not as someone’s son, or someone’s older brother…
But as a pirate.

011
Kamui: And I will not…
Turn away from that now.
I can only advance.
(Sfx- Zawaa zaaa *sffftt*)
Kamui: Enough ahead,
That my sister won’t be able to catch up.
Kamui: High enough that,
I will be the one looking down upon my father.

012
Kamui: Far away enough,
That I can reach her.
Unless I have my goals set that high up,
I’ll never be able to catch up to them…
Or return.
Back there –to my family.

013
Umibozu: I see.
So like the rotten brat he is,
He went back with the pirates, huh?
Mutsu: It would appear that even now your son..
Is going to continue to fight seeking to be the strongest.
Umibozu: With the strongest fighter pitched from his throne and looking like this?
What in God’s name is he going to fight against now?
Mutsu: Perhaps he saw something during your fight.
A weakness borne from him that made a greater strength attainable.
Umibozu: I came to stop the monster that I gave birth to…
And I thought I was prepared to kill him if I couldn’t stop him –to take responsibility as a father for what I had done.
However,
I couldn’t do it.
And it was…
Probably the same for him.

014
Umibozu: No matter where we go, we’re family.
The one thing we can never bring ourselves to do,
Is to snap that familial bond.
No matter what happens that thread around us never snaps.
Even if sometimes we get tangled within it and it causes us pain..
We keep trying to wind it in.
Perhaps the desire to stay closest to family is what causes this.
The one who taught me that was…
The one who finds themselves choked by the thread, and us…
Yet never gives up on it…
My daughter.

015
Umibozu: What kept me connected to her,
Was a bizarre threatd…
What protected him –Kamui,
And our family was,
The Yorozuya.
(Sfx- Kuun kuun *whiiine*)
Gintoki: Yo, have a fun filled vacation?

016
Kagura: I am sorry.
I was selfish.
I did not want to involve you in all of this, but…
Gintoki: To be honest, I have wondered what kind of place you’d have to grow up in to turn you into the shitty brat you are,
But now I more or less understand.
This city is filthy.
But it looks just like our place.
I got to see the hometown where you grew up.
And your family.
So I suppose it wasn’t a terrible vacation.
So toss that thing, the letter of resignation you’ve got there.
Shinpachi: We can’t return without Umibozu, right?
And we can’t accept it even you resign either.
A request for time off is fine.

017
Shinpachi: After all, we’re going to return for sure…
To your other hometown.
Kagura: No..
That is not it.
I would like to request for my time off to be changed to time with pay, yes?
(Envelope- Request for paid leave.)
(Sfx- doooooon *bloooosh*)
(TN- Etu, Sadaharu?)
Kagura: What are you doing to an injured person, you jerks!?
Gintoki: Don’t worry, we understand the intent! After all asking for paid leave is like writing up an obituary to us!
Kagura: It is because you do not pay me, that I never have money to use on vacation! You can assist me with that much, yes?!
Gintoki: What would you even use it for?
Kagura: Hotel charges, beauty products, and Chinese clothes for calligraphy! These are all essential!
Gintoki: Are you some kind of government official?!

018
Kagura: And now that baldy will have medical fees too! Try to understand what it looks like to others!!
Gintoki: And what of it? Be a good government official and use some of that calligraphy ink on him.
Shinpachi: Wait, we’re not talking about any officials.
In any case we’re trying to cure balding, but the balding man’s injuries!
Gintoki: Don’t worry about getting to the hair root of the problem. Just get a comb and tell him to live with that, gov’ner.
Shinpachi: Enough with the government commentary! The news coverage on it has bored me to tears as is!
Gintoki: ‘sides, Umibozu will be fine if he loses an arm or two,, yah?
Just massage some aloe in the roots and bam! Back to black in no time.
Shinpachi: I’m telling you we’re not talking about his hair!
Gintoki: Dude, let’s just call it quits on his hair.
Shinpachi: So his hair has a worse chance of recovery than his arms?!
(Sfx- Doooooon *booooom*)
Umibozu: It’s really true…
(Sfx- Gogogo *rmmmmble*)
Umibozu: My arms grew back.
(Sfx- Gashaaan *clank*)
Mutsu: Mhm. I figured you’d find these arms suited for combat suitable.
Umibozu: Could you amp up the firepower? At their expense of course.
(Sfx- Doooon doooon *booom booom*)
Mutsu: It’s a pleasure doing business with you.

019
Gintoki: Quit screwing around dammit! He’s clearly just fine!!
Shinpachi: Someone please pay our medical bills!!
(Sfx- Dooooon *boooom*)
Sakamoto: Gahahahah! Sweet! So you guys are taking care of the ship repairs too, huh?
???: Now that financial discussions are over…
Let us finish our conversation quickly as well.
Those gents of the Kiheitai…
They ain’t got any manners, leaving without saying goodbye.
Takechi: I have a message from Shinsuke-dno,
In regard to Yoshida Shouyou…no..
In regard to Utsuro.
