Gintama 601

This was hands down one of the funniest chapters that has come out of this series during the last year. I'm down with toilet gags, but Sorachi's at his best when he doesn't use them, imo.



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

GINTAMA
(Side text- What does she feel when before her father's grave...?)
(Grave marker- Shimura Ken)
Shinpachi: I figured...
You'd be here,
Sister.
With the times the way they are now, walking around on your own isn't a good idea....
Tae: It's exactly because the times are like this that I should be here.
Shinpachi: Did you come to tell Father that....the world may be coming to an end?
Tae: Yup.
002
Tae: Perhaps the world may be coming to an end....
But now the son who used to be a crybaby...
The little brother who was less than reliable,
Hasn't shed a single tear at a time like this...
And now you're fighting together with everyone.
Shimura Shinpachi,
Has become a fine Samurai.
Shinpachi: Sister, I haven't changed in the least.

003
Shinpachi: Back then I met that weird Samurai,
And fervently pursued him without really knowing why.
Until –without realizing it,
I ended up here.
I never gave a thought to protecting Edo or the world for that matter...
To be honest I didn't change,
And I never wanted to.
I just,
Wanted to stay by that odd samurai's side.

004
Shinpachi: Knowing this, do you think father will forgive me?
For taking up the sword for a reason like that?
Tae: Shin-chan,
There's no reason for you to seek forgiveness.
After all, you've found your answer all on your own.
The person you've chased without really knowing why...
Is now right here with you.
And if that is what you deem worthy of protecting...
Then I'm sure father would agree.
He's at your side,
Watching over you.

Lesson 601: Be sure to read jump with extra care if you miss a week.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

006
Dude: Hey, look over there.
They're still hanging around a place like this?
Friggin' Amanto,
Get the hell off our planet already!
Katherine: You gotta proooobleeem?!
You bastards were sure scared when it was the liberation front, but yer balls get huge when it's women and children, huuuuh?
Dude: Huh? That's a woman? Damn, thought it was an old dude.
Kagura: Y'see?
Tama: Please do not compare Kagura-sama with the liberation front.
Should she feel like it, she could destroy the planet with relative ease before they could even mobilize.
Kagura: That is not the best thing to follow up with.
Katherine: What the hell is with those people.

007
Tama: There are Amanto who are on the side of Earthlings, but discrimination has only gotten worse because of the Liberation front.
Katherine: We should just abandon this backwater planet and go somewhere else.
'Ssposing the Earth is saved, us Amanto might find ourselves without a place in the end.
Kagura: We did not have a place here from the start, yes?
We just came in forced open a place,
And then stayed there doing whatever we wanted.
It is rather strange.
All sorts of things have happened in the days and months we've been here...
And at some point, the spot that we forced open ourselves...
was invaded by those guys.

008
Kagura: It was shameless and forceful of them...
But they moved in and spread their legs like they own the place without paying rent.
I feel like it was me who was...
imposed upon.
Tama: Perhaps that truly is where one belongs...
A place to return to even if your home, and planet no longer exist.
Kagura-sama, something like that exists within us too.
A place that you and the others can return to, Kagura-sama.
Katherine: The rent in my place makes Otose-san's rent look like peanuts tho.
Tama: Mine as well.
Kagura: Is that so?
Then we should be sure to earn our keep.
Tama: Yes.
Kagura: Because of that, we can run wild all we want until Edo is destroyed.

009
{The time of our decisive battle draws near.}
{We've got to find the Tendoushuuu....}
{While the Liberation front has ceased operation.}
{Unless we can do that...}
{And defeat Utsuro...}
{This planet...}
{Has no future.}
{What's got me concerned is Gin-san who disappeared without us knowing.}
{It's my hope he has some kind of lead, but...}

010
Gintoki: Wha...
Gintama's getting a live action movie?!
Shit, what the hell's been going on while I was in space?
And who's playing Sakata Gintoki? Oguri Shun? I guess dude's tall enough to fill the role, but...
I feel like one of those cute Johnny's type is more accurate for Gin-san.
(Sfx- Dogaaahhh thoooom)
Gintoki: Owww!! What the hell do you think you're doing to Oguri Shun's chin?! Do you know how many hundreds of millions this chin's gonna make?
Shinpachi: Who the freak is Oguri Shun?!
Here we thought you were looking for the Tendoushuu but you're wasting time doing only God knows what!

011
Gintoki: Dude, putting Earth aside, Jump's having a crisis of it's own. We take our eyes off the magazine for just a bit, and the major pillars of the magazine –Bleach and Nisekoi have fallen, and I became Oguri Shun. Is jump really gonna be okay?
Shinpachi: The fact that you're still in Jump is the biggest crisis of them all!
Gintoki: Shut your noise hole. I saw you playing Grandblue up on the roof up until last week, while conveniently ignoring earth.
Shinpachi: I was not!
(Handwritten- Grandblue~)
(TN- This is an abbreviation for the cellphone RPG Grandblue Fantasy. Apparently Masaki Suda who will play Shinpachi in the movie starred in a commercial for the game.)
Gintoki: I can't approve of this. Why the hell are you Grandblue Masaki?
The only thing you two have in common is walking upright.
Shinpachi: Who the hell could possibly be a monster like that?!
Gintoki: More like Shun and Masaki are 184 and 176 cm tall. The live action Yorozuya's gonna stand out too much. How many cigarettes is that gonna be, anyway?
Just what kind of movie are these guys trying to film?
Shinpachi: You're the one who's exaggerating! More like, Kagura-chan's become a huge box of cigarettes!!
Kagura: Quiet if you please! While you have you been yammering on about nothing, the net has gotten fired up!
Clerk: Hey, um...don't use that without permission...
(Sfx- Gata kata clatter clatter)
Kagura: You have got it good, yes? People are simply arguing about whether the actors they got for you people are fitting or not....

012
Kagura: For me, perhaps because she is a beauty who only comes once every thousand years....
There are plenty of people who are expressing concern for her!
{Nameless Samurai: She's too cute and doesn't fit the role.// Nameless Samurai: I don't want her to vomit or pick her nose.// Nameless Samurai: I'm worried about Kana-chan's future after this movie.}
Kagura: If this is how it will be, then why not let there be a scandal where photo booth stickers get spread around, and her angel wings are ripped from her. She will fall down to hell where I am!!
Shinpachi: Um, perhaps you should do something about your attitude before dragging her down.
Kagura: Fuahahahaah!! I do not care if she is an idol who only comes once in a thousand years!
(Sfx- Kata kata kata taptaptap)
Kagura: Can you do this, Hashimoto Kana? Can you really become me?!
Hah...this feeling....what is it?
It feels like throwing up in a new house...
Shinpachi: Perhaps a guilty conscience? I'd say you need to reflect on your actions.
Kagura: Ecstasy...~
Gintoki: Oh that's fucking vile. Someone seal that thing over there in a casket or something, and then put a stone weight on top of THAT, and toss it away for a thousand years.
Kagura: I will revive over and over again! Where there is light, there is shadow!
(Sfx- Zazaaah sffft)
Shinpachi: Sadaharu?
Gintoki: You're back? That's a good boy, you kept me waiting.
Shinpachi: Wait, Gin-san, did you...
Gintoki: Didja think I was just kicking back and reading jump this whole time?
If we wanna find the Tendoushuu is to get hold of the Bakfu.
Most of the leaders have disappeared, but they can't fool a Dog's nose.
Shinpachi: He's got a piece of paper in his mouth.

013
Shinpachi: Um...what is this?
Gintoki: Jean-Claude..
Van Damme.
Sadaharu: Woof!
Shinpachi: This is just a request to be in the movie!! What the hell were you doing out there anyway?! Did you go find Van Damme and ask if he wanted to be a part of this?! Is he supposed to be Wan Damme huuuuh?!
Sadaharu: Woof!
Shinpachi: Don't woof me, dammit! Do you know how many hundreds of millions that wan could cost us?!
Gintoki: Wait a minute Shinpachi. Shun and Masaki are huge, so we'd need someone rivaling in size to a Wandam, or they won't be able to play Sadaharu at all!
Shinpachi: Mobile Suit Wandam?! The original concept isn't even there anymore!! We're basically going to be a Wandam movie!!
Kagura: Hashimoto was taken away by a Wandam....and...
(Sfx- Kata kata kata tp tp top)
Shinpachi: KANA-CHAN ISN'T GOING TO BE DEVOURED BY A WANDAM!!

014
Shinpachi: Knock it off guys!
The word is on the brink of annihilation, and you're losing it over a live action adaption?!
(Sfx- Zaah zaaah zaah sff sff)
Shinpachi: At this point we really be destroyed!
(Sfx- Zaaahhh dsssf)
Gintoki: Whoa boys, got movie starlets in your eyes?
Sorry but there's a wonderful thing called CG that they use to make mob scenes like this.
Shinpachi: H—Hold on a moment!
Gin-san, these people are...

015
(Sfx- Doooo dooohh thoooom)
(Sfx- Zazaaahnn dsssshhhh)
Gintoki: Thiiiis might be more than CG can handle.
(Sfx- Kuaaaaahhh rooooor)
Shinpachi: This isn't the time for that!!
Th—this is...
Kagura: With all the rebellions, are they unable to tell friend from foe?
Their next target after the Liberation Front are the people of town?
Gintoki: No, these guys aren't regular folk...
(Sfx- Kuaaaahhh roaaaar)

016
(Sfx- Pikihhh crakle)
Shinpachi: Ngh, they're coming from ahead too!!
(Sfx- Dogooohhh thoooom)
(Sfx- Zashiiih dsssshhh)
Nobume: You're late.
(Sfx- Chiiin click)

017
Nobume: I was tired of waiting.
Shinpachi: Nobume-saaan!
Nobume: No...
I'd like Kuriyama Chiaki, please.
Shinpachi: ET TUUUU?!
Nobume: Those people are...
different from the others.
(Sfx- Ga shaaaaan sshiiiin)
(Sfx- Dododoooon thoooom)

018
Gintoki: Naraku?
Why are they masquerading as civilians?
Amanto: Maan, how long are they gonna have us Liberation front guys on standby like this?
If we really wanted to we could take over this country in a flash.
Amanto 2: Commodore Shijaku ordered that we stay our hand as long as the Earthlings don't start anything.
(Sfx- Jorororo bllshhh)
Amanto: The top brass is probably intending to take over the planet at some point anyway right?
So why should we just kick around here?
Amanto 2: Well, ya gotta have just cause before you do anything bro.
Hey, what's with you?
Did a fish bite your junk?
H—Hey!!

019
(Sfx- Dodooooohhh blooosh)
Nobume: The beginning,
of the end has come.
Utsuro's...
Destruction of this planet has started.
