Gintama 607

¯\_(ツ)_/¯



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

(Sfx- Doggaaan *Boooom*)
GINTAMA
(Side text- Enemy unit downed!!)
???: It’s like you said Boss….
We haven’t changed one bit…
Nor has or spirit and our will to protect Edo.

002
Zakiyama: And it’s like this that we’ve returned…
As the Shinsengumi.
Gintoki: But the thing is you’re the only one who’s a completely different guy!!
(Side text- As usual.)
GINTAMA
Lesson 607: The “T” in “T-Shirts” is for “Tamashii” (Soul).
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Shinpachi: What on earth happened to you Yamazaki-Saaannnn?!
Why are you the only one who looks like a Vietnam war veteran?!
Zakiyama: Huh? Have I really changed that much?
Shinpachi: There’s nothing left of you now..!!
Shinsengumi: As expected of Zakiyama-san!!
(Sfx- Waaah!!)
Shinsengumi: You made short work of the enemy that the Vice Chief and Commander Okita were having a tough time with in a single shot!
The Liberation Front’s days are numbered with you on our side!

003
Gintoki: The power balance between you guys has shifted a weensy bit, though?!
(Handwritten- Zakiyamaaaa!!)
Gintoki: Jimmy’s basically become MVP!
What the hell is going on here? These guys haven’t matured in the slightest….
(Under Kondo: Quit using Mosaics//Under Hijikata: Quit Smoking.//Under Okita: Quit Quitting Bullying Hijikata//Under Zakiyama: Quit being Yamazaki.)
Gintoki: So why’d this guy go and basically evolve then?!
Zakiyama: To be honest I don’t quite get the particulars either.
But if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say I unlocked myself.
I’ve known about my weakness since way back when, and focused on how to become stronger.
I tried to mimic the Chief and shackled myself as a part of a special training regimen,
But I was too weak…
And couldn’t bear the weight of that shackle.
I couldn’t sustain the special training for long periods of time…
Until at a certain point I realized…
Despite not carrying anything –having no weight upon me that my body felt heavy.
Like something was already weighing me down.

004
Zakiyama: So I boldly threw off those shackles…
And became what I am today.
Gintoki: What’dya mean shackles?! Don’t you mean your entire self-essence?!
What the hell am I seeing?! A Yamazaki coming out of Zakiyama’s ass?! Or is it the other way around and Zakiyama is coming out of Yamazaki?!
Just what the hell are you two supposed to be?!
Zakiyama: Think of him as the weighted T-shirts Goku takes off.
It would appear that since the day I was born I was wearing a heavy T-shirt….the one known as Yamazaki Sagaru.
Gintoki: That’s a really fucked up way of saying it, Jimmy!
Zakiyama: By discarding that, I’ve finally released myself.
My body is so light…it’s as if everything up until was a fantasy….though sometimes I feel like I could just ascend to heaven like this.
Gintoki: That’s probably because it’s your soul you’ve tossed aside! You’d probably do better not throwing it away!
???: You’re really something, Yamazaki…
But you’re absolutely right. The motive behind wearing shackles as you train is to find the strength to cast off the biggest shackle of them all…the one of oneself.
In short a state of mind where you can even abandon yourself for a “pure awareness.”
To think you actually managed to achieve that state of mind….
Zakiyama: Chief, then you too have…

005
Kondo: Yo, not there….
Chief’s over here.
Gintoki: Pure awareness?! I’m aware that there’s essentially nothing left of the chief!!
Why did he suddenly become a Gorilla when he removed his shirt?!
Kondo: It would appear I was born as a gorilla wearing another gorilla as a shirt. Now my true gorillaness has been unleashed.
Gintoki: You haven’t been released! You’re just pure Gorilla extract now!
Kondo: Backup huh?!
(Sfx- Doooon *boooom*)
(Sfx- Dokaaaahhh *thoooom*)
Kondo: Let’s do this Yamazaki!! We’ll show them the power we’ve obtained from taking off our shirts!!
Yamazaki: Got it sir!
Shinpachi: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Your shirts are getting tangled!!
(Sfx- Zurururuhhh *ddraaaaghhh*)
Shinpachi: The T-Shirts got caught!!!
The shirt is crying!!
(Sfx- Mishimishii *Grrnd grrnd*)

006
Shinpachi: Hold oooon! Time out, Time out!!
If you’re going to take off your shirts then do it properly!! You’re going to rip them up at this rate!
Both: Untie uuuuusss!! The enemy is coming!!
(Sfx- Mishi mishi *grrnnnd*)
Okita: Like this?
Shinpachi: NO?! Not like that at all!!
Hijikata: How’s this?
Shinpachi: Not like that either!! You aren’t trying to untangle them at all are you?
They pissed you off didn’t they?!
Heeey!! The Gorilla and Rambo just collapsed!
Shinpachi: They shouldn’t have thrown those away after all!!
Hurry up and put your shirts back on!!
(Sfx- Dokaaannn *Boooom*)
(Sfx- Hira hira *flutter*)
Shinpachi: The Gorilla’s shirt was blown away by the explosion!!!
Someone’d better grab it!! If not the Gorilla’s really gonna ascend into heaven!!

007
Hijikata: No need to worry, we’ll just put a Ahodas shirt on him in the meantime.
(TN- Aho means “idiot”. This is a play on “Adidas”.)
Gorilla: Let’s do this! The match isn’t over yet!!
Face forward and shoot towards tomorrow!!
Shinpachi: He’s been completely possessed by the Ahodas!!
Why is his personality dictated by what kind of shirt he wears?!
Just what the hell is he made of?!
Gorilla: Keep it straight, better than you did before!! Aim for the goal!!
Shinpachi: Where’s the goal?!
Gintoki: Why did you tax thieves even bother coming back?!
Hijikata: Shut your noisehole!!
You try saving the world without getting a regular salary!!
Gintoki: With the way you guys are going, Edo’s basically done for as is!!
Okita: Simmer down there Hijikata-san. You’re just not yourself without one of these. Here.
Hijikata: Ah, thanks.
Hold on dammit, why are you trying to impede my smoking ban?!
Kagura: With the world on the verge of ending, do not try to live a longer life on your own, dammit!
Okita: Well I figure if the world’s done for anyway, then Hijikata’s lungs should be the first to go.
Hijikata: Why the fuck do my lungs have to take responsibility?!
Shinpachi: You guuuuuys!! Yamazaki-san’s already got one foot in the grave ahead of all of us!!

008
Gintoki: If you assholes hadn’t virtually left Edo without any protection we wouldn’t have to deal with this!
Hijikata: You guys are the ones who left Edo to end up like this! It’s your fault the world’s going to hell!
Gintoki: Shut the hell up! Half of this is your fault dammit, and the other half of the blame goes to your lungs!
Hijikata: So you’re basically saying this is my fault then!?
What’s so funny?!
Do you not see the situation we’re in!?
Shinsengumi: Yessir, Vice-Captain!
Assessment complete!
There are no…
Abnormalities to report in Edo!!
The terminal is broken…
And there is wreckage abound…
But the city itself…
Is completely unharmed!

009
Shinsengumi: The Edo we love…
Is still right here!

010
Someone: The army of the former Bakfu?
So what, they came back to die alongside their country?
Who are we to refuse?!
All units prepare to fire!!
Even if they’ve got retaliatory weapons on their side, they can’t hope to match our numbers!!

011
Someone: Fiiiiiiiiiiireeee!!!

012
(Sfx- Dodododoooo *ththtooooom*)
(Sfx- Goaaaaahhh *roaaar*)
Amanto: Wh…
What the heck…
Our canons….at the moment we fired they…
(Sfx-Gogogogo *rmmmmble*)
Amanto: What is this black fog?!

013
Matsudaira: Fire mis…
It reacts to extreme heat and explodes.
It’s a smoke screen that puts the kibosh on firearms.
I get it…
You guys are saying this isn’t just Samurai country…
But yours too?
Ayame: I have lead the people to safety before the explosion.
The city is empty…
Our preparations are complete,

014
Ayame: Boss.
Hattori: Nice.
So we can run buck wild, huh?
As Shinobi, our fate is to live in the shadows.
But now that we have lost the light of our lord, there’s no need to hide anymore.
Go and brandish your polished techinques in the sun’s rays.
Ensure that they of the liberation front have a firm memory of we…the samurai of this country by carving it into them yourselves.

015
Hattori: No longer bound by darkness and shadow…
But under a sun lit by your own volition.
Live…
And die.
Ayame: That…
Is your answer, then?
Hattori: There ain’t no answer here.
But even if I were going to protect the princess as a friend of Shigeshige…
If the princess is going to fight as his little sister…
I can’t stop her.
If that’s how it is…

016
Hattori: Then I’ve just gotta protect everything.
Shigeshige’s little sister…
And the country.
The feelings of my fallen friends…
And the ones who are still alive…
Are the only…
Light I need now.

017
Hattori: Time to move out…
Oniwaban.
(Side text- With their pride on the line…!!)
