I've had some misgivings about this arc so far, but this chapter was good enough to make me forgive most of them. I didn't expect this, and it was so good. Gengai for best character.
Hi wa mata noboru only.
Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.GINTAMA
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Lesson 609: Things that old farts can't forget are carved into their wrinkle creases.
{We've got a report from the liberation front's second camp.}
{A path has been opened due to “Takemikadzuchi”.}
(Side text- A looming weapon of mass destruction!!)
{The 'black mist' has been blown away.}
{It has completely disappeared from the skies of Edo.}
{The ground platoon is giving them cover...}
{And has restrained the Bakfu's army.}
{The Takemikadzuchi has been restrained, however.}
002
{The Mercinary units are now on standby...}
{For your decision and orders.}
{Tell the commando unit to move as they please.}
{Show them the strength of the three biggest mercinary units.}
Enshou: You have but one objective...
And that's to bring earth...
To an end.
003
{If you're feelin' up to it we can challenge 'em all together.}
{Ginnoji.}
{This planet belongs to us.}
{As such this fight...}
{Is one that every single person...}
{Living on this planet should take up.}
{Let's show them...}
{The latent power of Earth.}
004
Gintoki: Old man...
Kintoki: Seems like it's time for us to step up, huh?
Not that there's anything else you can do..
I mean look at how silver's gone and ended up.
(Sfx- Gashin gashin gashin tromp tromp tromp)
Kintoki: Looks like there's no other way but for gold to stand out.
(Sfx- Kashiiiin trooomp)
Kintoki: From wiping the asses of idiots to saving the world...
Yorozuya Kin-san can do anything.
005
Shinpachi: Kin-san?!
Kintoki: How's it hangin' ya imperfect protagonist.
Isn't this just sad? The man I was modeled after can't even save one dinky planet.
How about I take half of this world from you?
And the other half can go to a imperfect silver like you.
Tama: As usual you haven't matured in the least.
Whether it's gold or silver, a single screw does nothing.
However your gather screws together...
Then the machinery known as the world begins to move.
Gengai: From here on in we're the ones playing the critical role of protecting huamnity.
And after that...
Otose: Yeah...
Leave it to us.
006
Gengai: This here is our fight.
So you guys should let the machines fight the way they want.
Gintoki: Old man, Tama...
What the hell are you planning on doing?
{What are you doing making machines that will kill people?}
{Pops...}
{You're the one who says that machines should be useful to people.}
{Y'know, I....}
{Like it more when you're smeared in oil and playing with the machines you love.}
{It's as if...}
{You're a kid playing in the mud.}
007
{And so, you –my son..}
{Went off to war in my stead.}
{And left an old man alone.}
{I've met all kinds of people...}
{And thought various things.}
{For what reason am I still alive?}
{Why do I make machines?}
{The answer...}
008
(Sfx- gafuuuahhhhh thoooom)
{You and...}
{The guys I was fortunate to meet have taught me...}
(Sfx- Zooohhhh fwoooooh)
{My machines are...}
009
{For...}
{This moment right now.}
Amanto: Wha...
What he helllll!!?
What's that gigantic cannon?
010
Gengai: A useful machine...
that can save people.
This is my answer.
The Neil Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Gengai Cannon!!
Shinpachi: IT'S A DIRTY JOOOOOOKE?!
Earth sprouted....
A p*nis!?!?
Enshou: No...
That's...
{Tell the fleet to clear that black fog immediately and destroy that gigantic cannon!!}
{Tell the ground squad to suspend their current mission –their new priority is to destroy that cannon!}
011
Gengai: It's already too late.
Because we've...
Up until now since we lost that war to you guys....
The machines have been buried underground...
slowly, but surely building this thing.
It was created because of that war...
to stop war.
Though it's shape has changed...and gotten a little bigger.
Tama, Kinnoji...
Are you ready to do this?
There's no other way to activate this thing's high fidelity system without your power.
You and Tama will enter the two seigyoudama connected to the cannon known as “Kintama” so that the center cannon discharge something.
(In circles: Kin/Tama)
Shinpachi: IT'S A DIRTY JOKE, DAMMMIT!!
Tama: I am well prepared for this, Gengai-sama.
Please use me as a screw.
(Sfx- Viiiin Veeeen)
Kintoki: Don't waste this..
Golden colored screw gramps.
Gengai: I'm sorry you two...
012
Gengai: We didn't lose to you guys back then...
We lost to your science and technology....
we lost to your machinery.
However we've taken on your machinery and evovled.
So that we won't lose to you guys for a second time.
So that you won't take anything precious from us again.
We've continued...
Turning the screws.
And now foreigners...
We're gonna give back,
what we borrowed.
013
Gengai: And I'll do it...
With my beloved pieces of junk.
OOORAAAHHHHH!!!
(Sfx- Gakaaahhh sheeeen)
014
(Sfx- Bachi bachi zzzzttth)
(Sfx- Dofuuhh Fwooom)
(Sfx- Gashaanan crasssh)
Gengai: Machines of Edo!!!
I'M BORROWING A SCREEEEEWWW!!!
015
Gengai: Show them....
Your poweeeeeeeeerrr!!!
Tama: LETS GOOOOOOO!!!
(Sfx- Gakaaaahhhh fwooooom)
016
(Sfx- Fuhhh fwoooh)
Guys: What the...? Nothing happened...
A misfire?
Sakamoto: No...
That's not it.
It fired all right...
That is...
The machines made to destroy the enemy...
And the ones used to protect oneself...
017
Amanto: Wh...
What the hell is this?!
Captain?!
Our operating system is...
Th—This can't be...
What's happening?!
Gengai: That's right.
This is a machine created to stop war.
Whether it's the enemy's...
or the ally's...
It's a machine that will destroy all other machines.
(Side text- Gengai's great determination!! Next issue a center color page!!)
