GINTAMA
(Side text- As the night wears on..)
(Side text- Volume 68 of the manga will be released Tuesday April 4th!)
Lesson 628: When the lid to the Jelly Jar is stuck, put on some grubber gloves and grab tightly.
SORACHI HIDEAKI
Shinpachi(?): When I look at it again…
It’s just incredible…
That this many people were able to fight together…

002
Otose: So in short, what?
{Kabuki-cho Shitenou}
Otose: Since the Liberation army could retaliate any day now…
That this city is only safe for the time being?
Kondo: Those guys have been cut off from their HQ in space…
And they lost their leadership and means of communication.
In a situation like this, a broken down army…
And even the bigger part of it would find it hard to reorganize.
{Shinsengumi.}

003
Hijikata: The guys who ran are currently being pursued by the Bakufu’s forces and have been split apart.
Though we can’t overturn this situation since we can’t contact our guys either.
Okita: On the other hand you could say this is our chance to attack. That force separated from the larger army will find it hard to get backup or supplies from the larger forces.
If we break into their supplies and provisions the enemy will no longer be able to fight and it’d be a cinch to defeat them.
???: You plannin’ on getting everyone killed by those guys?
I don’t think that’s the kinda job we should take on ourselves.
{Shogunate Government Oniwaban Group}
Zenzou: Our goal was to do our best to manage until a ceasefire.
If we keep pursuing enemies with numbers like theirs, who know what we’ll run into.
Moreover we haven’t been able to confirm that they don’t have mercenary soldiers in their ranks.
{Yagyuu style clan}
Binbokusai: Don’t forget…
This victory was nothing short of a miracle.

004
Binbokusai: However we paid a major price for that..
And if we want more than that…
We’ll have to abandon more of the same.
???: We’re not trying to win this war…
We’re fighting to stop it.
{Yoshiwara vigilante corps, Hyakka.}
Tsukuyo: If we take any more damage…
Won’t it be the same as helping them –the liberation front?
{Onmyouji Ketsuno clan/ Shirino Clan.}
Seimei: In order to have an opportunity to cross a flowing river, one must make use of any driftwood they can find.
It isn’t like we have an endless amount of trees to grasp if we let this one float by without doing anything.
It’s good we got them to withdraw, but this may be the only time a chance for victory appears before us.

005
Cristel: Then we should fight Brother?
Seimei: No, but if I was to speculate over this, I do think it would be a shame to allow the sacrifices made this time to go to waste.
If we want to stop this fight, then we must bear the responsibility and risk of starting one of our own.
Shinsengumi(?): That’s right! Let’s fight!
Onomyouji: Wait, that’s not…
Gedoumaru: What about you all from the Yorozuya?
Do you believe we should chase down and corner the enemy? Or stay behind and repair and recuperate? What’s your opinion on this?
Kagura: I think Curry would be fine, yes?
Shinpachi: Um, no. We’re not talking about what to eat here, Kagura-chan.
{Yorozuya}
Shinpachi: Er..well I can’t say I understand too much about complicated matters like this…
Honestly speaking I feel like as long as everyone is here…
No matter how we might fall or whatever happens…
There’s nothing to fear.
In any case I just feel deeply moved…
That this many people would fight together like this…
It makes me happy to be born on Earth in Edo…
S-Sorry, I’m sure that’s not really what you wanted to hear…I’m really sorry.
???: It’s not like that.

006
???: That so many people could gather together in the same place with the same ambition…
In comparison being worried about how we’ll fall and stuff like that seems trivial.
If you guys are so bored that you can argue over internal crap like this, then just settle it with rock paper scissors.
All of your points are decent ones,
And we really need to rally. Though on the other hand, just leaving the enemy aside isn’t something we have the luxury for either….we’re in the middle of that decision, yeah?
Then why not send the heva out for a sortie?
{All purpose oni model decisive battle weapon Hevandorogon}
(TN- Pretty sure this is a Evangalion reference.)
Gintoki: Well then everyone?
I’m ready to go –our synch percentage is even pretty high…so let’s go mix it up.
I can go at any time you want.

007
Shinpachi: It seems to me that the factions that I’ve never seen before are growing.
What the heck is that? Heva you said? What is it? Does everyone here know?
Gintoki: I have to say I question the yorozuya’s point of view.
Shinpachi: You’re part of the yorozuya.
Gintoki: Can I really ship out in this heva unit? Is it okay for the heva unit to be on standby? What do you think of the heva unit? Do you like it?
Shinpachi: When did this become a questionnaire? More like there’s only one heva unit.
Gintoki: What do you think heva?
Hey, heva.
(Sfx- Koso *whisper*)
Gintoki: Um, Hedoro-san?
Hedoro: Ah, me? Well I think we should go ahead….
Shinpachi: Um, it would seem that the heva unit itself isn’t aware it’s a heva unit….
Hijikata: I’d say it’s too soon myself…what about you Kondo-san?
Kondo: Yeah, I’m of the same opinion.
Ayame: I mean, if he’s saying he wants to go I say why not let him?
Right Tsukky?
Tsukuyo: Yeah, I feel the same way.
Jirochou: Heh, I guess we should leave it to the kids.
Otose: Go ahead and do as you want, Eva.
Dude: But that’s not an Eva, but a heva…
Wait no, didn’t someone call it a Nova?
More like..
What the heck is a heva?
Shinpachi: SO NO ONE KNOOOOOWS?

008
Shinpachi: This is because you were too overly casual about hopping in!
I thought everyone other than me knew what was going on!!
Hijiikata: Same here.
Gintoki: What really? You didn’t know? Here I was thinking all of you already had the full deets…
Shinpachi: HOW CAN WE HAVE THE DETAILS OF SOMETHING YOU’VE YET TO EXPLAIN?!
Gintoki: Dude, you can more or less tell what the heva is without me explaining shit.
In a separate matter from the Liberation front thing, the world had already been destroyed by Hedero-san, so in the end we settled things peacefully by allowing him to become a heva.
Shinpachi: EVEN A PSYCHIC WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT!! IT SEEMS LIKE WHILE WE WEREN’T LOOKING THINGS GOT REALLY COMPLEX?!
Gintoki: In short, within Hedoro-san is a demon who wants nothing more than to destroy the world named Hedara.
Hedoro-san wants to stop him from doing this and protect the world, but…
I who have seen seven hells including one where the world was saved and destroyed figured I’d have to use this power.
In short I’d control Hedoro’s power, crush the liberation front and save the world.
I’d take the greatest enemy to mankind and change it into its savior.
And that is all purpose oni model decisive battle weapon Hevandorogon.
Shinpachi: Heeeey!! You gave birth to an incredibly savage monster!!
Gintoki: It’s fine. After a bit of trial and error, I discovered the means to get the angel Hedoro and the demon hedora working properly.
With these two flower shaped levers I’m able to freely control heva.
Gintoki: It can even give straight man responses. Here, you be the dummy and ask it something.
Shinpachi: Wait, no! Even if you tell me to do that, I can’t! I’m the straight man after all…

009
Heva: WHATZZ WIT YOU? TRYIN’ IZ YOUS TRYIN’ TO WRECK ALL OF HUMANITY?
(Sfx- DOooooon *Boooom*)
Shinpachi: AUUUUUGHHHH
Gintoki: So if I pull down the right lever, the demon of destruction Hedora’s personality comes out.
He’s mostly used for making straight man comments and opening stuck jelly jars.
Shinpachi: WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU USING THE DEMON’S POWER FOR?! HE’S GOING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT ALL OF MANKIND! HE’S CLEARLY TOO DANGEROUS AS HE HASN’T GIVEN UP ON ANNHILATING US!!
Gintoki: On the contrary, if I follow up with the right lever…
(Sfx- Gshiinn *clank*)
Hedoro: Shinpachi-kun, were you hurt in any way? I’m deeply sorry for allowing that scoundrel Hedora to run amok…
Shinpachi: H—Hedoro-san…
(Sfx- Teku teku *tp tp*)
Hedoro: WATCH OUT THERE’S A LADYBUG THEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!
(Sfx- DOOOOON *Booooom*)
Shinpachi: THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING AS BEFOREEEEE?!

010
Gintoki: And it’s like this that I can properly use the angel and devil to protect mankind.
And that is the entire story behind the mankind completion project.
(Handwritten- Thank goodness, it appears to be fine…)
Shinpachi: HE SEEMS TO BE THOROUGHLY A DEVIL NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT!! ARE YOU SURE THIS ISN’T THE LADYBUG COMPLETION PROJECT?!
Heva: WHATZZ WIT YOU? TRYIN’ IZ YOUS TRYIN’ TO WRECK ALL OF HUMANITY?
(Sfx- Gofuhhhh *thoooom*)
Shinpachi: THE RETORT HAS BEEN RETORTED?!
Gintoki: It’s because you said something insipid that he considered you the idiot here.
Best watch what you said. Dumb remarks will be treated as such.
Shinpachi: Holy crap! There’s a demon sitting upon another demon!
Kondo: Stop this Yorozuya, he’s too dangerous!
That’s not a straight man retort at all! He’s going to treat all of humanity like the idiot!
Eventually that straight man retort…
Won’t just be for the Liberation front, but an attack leveled at you!
Gintoki: Even with that…
Even knowing that there’s no hope but to keep being the straight man.
He won’t laugh at something like annihilation…not until this entire world stops with the idiocy.
Kondo: If that’s the case, hit me with your best retort!
(Sfx- Baahh *fwaaap*)
Kondo: If you want to keep going then you’ll have to retort straight past me!
Gintoki: You’re in the way, move.
Kondo: Go ahead and try it!
Gintoki: Move.
Kondo: I dare yoooou!

011
Hedoro(?): I will not retort you…
You are not humanity…
But a troglodyte.
Kondo: --me…
RETORT MEEEEEEEE!!!
(Sfx- DOgaaaahhh *thooooom*)
(Sfx- Zazaaaah *dssssh*)
Hedoro: WATCH OUT, IT’S A COCKROAAAAAAAAACH!!

012
(Sfx- Gogogogogo *rmmmmmble*)
Someone: HE GOT RETORTEEEEED?!
Tae: You’re neither a devil nor god…
If this hadn’t happened, you probably wouldn’t have taken a rest would you, Gin-san?
At the very least you need to rest for today….even God had times where he took a break, right?
So there’s no need for you to worry Hedoro-san.
A fool like this who toys around with others like they’re robots is the bad guy here.
Hedoro: I am SO sorry…Sakata-san is my dearest friend who’s life is on the same level as a roach in my eyes.
Gintoki: Otae-chan, isn’t God a great guy that he’d equate my life with a roach’s?

013
Tae: Aww don’t be down in the dumps! You’re fine even if you’re below a roach in value!
(Sfx- Guii *grnd*)
Heva: WHATZZ WIT YOU? TRYIN’ IZ YOUS TRYIN’ TO WRECK ALL OF HUMANITY?
(Sfx- Gooohhh *thuuuud*)
Gintoki: THIS ISN’T MAKING ME FEEL ANY BETTER!! QUIT WITH THIS “HE’S NO BETTER THAN A LEAF” TREATMENT!!
Shinpachi: Though she’s got a point, it might be best if you rested, Gin-san.
Gintoki: COULD YOU PLEASE TALK TO YOUR SISTER?!
Shinpachi: The fight continues tomorrow too, you know.
Think about it Gin-san, ever since you returned to Edo, you’ve been doing nothing but fighting.
(Sfx- Kokun kokun *nod nod*)
Shinpachi: Well, even before that on Rakyou and Kokujou Island too…
You’ve been getting beaten up and fighting..
And running straight forward on pure guts and emotion.
You’ve gotta be a wreck by now right?
Gintoki: You’re in the same boat, if I recall.
You’ve been put through a bit of use yourself.
Despite not being paid, you’ve been working hard.

014
Gintoki: And come quite far.
All for the sake of a president who’s a no good guy like me.
But for the sake of that unreliable adult…
Both of you…
Have become so strong.

015
(Sfx- Zuuh suhh *snrrrr*)
Tae: It would seem your futon….
Has been stolen.
If they had been awake a little longer they would have heard a word you rarely ever use.

016
Gintoki: There’s still plenty of time…
For them, And I.
(Sfx- Fuwaaaah *yawwwn*)
Okita: Hijikata-san when do we get to take five?
We should take a break and plan our countermeasures against the Liberation front and then work on that plan tomorrow, yeah?
Hijikata: If the world’s destroyed you’ll be able to sleep forever.
So why not enjoy this corrupt planet while you can?
Okita: I can enjoy this jet black planet…
And still rest a little bit,
Yeah?
I mean I’m sure with a city in the midst of a huge power outage like this, that the birth rate’s gonna rise when compared to last year.

017
Hijikata: I’m looking for that.
Okita: What, you found someone to do that with?
HIjikata: No!
(Sfx- DOoohhh *thooom*)
(Sfx- Auuughhnn)
Hijikata: The guy who caused the machines and the power to cease to function,
Hiraga Gengai.
If it weren’t for that virus cannon stopping the enemy’s fleets and ability to communicate,
We wouldn’t be here right now.
However it’s thanks to that we can’t contact and coordinate with our guys in space either.
(Sign- Take your time resting and enjoy this nourishment.)
Hijikata: So we can’t let anything happen to Gengai.
Dude: Old man Gengai?
I haven’t seen him in a bit.
Someone else: I know he got caught by the mercenaries, but he managed to get away right?
After that I don’t know what happened to him.

018
Someone: Huh? Gengai-san?
Yeah, he ran away with me..
But partway through he said he needed to do something..
And then separated from everyone else and returned.
Someone else: Huh? Gengai?
I think I heard something by the shelter hollerin’ about there being no more paper or something like that..
I couldn’t tell who it was…
But it was a thin voice from the other side of a wall..
“God save me!!”
I was scared and didn’t try to investigate…
(Sfx- Hyoooi *fffwt*)
Hijikata: It’s a bit awkward, but listen up…
We have a favor to ask of you Gengai.
GINTAMA LESSON 628……………..END.

019
Hijikata: Gengai?!
Yato: Oh? SO this is the old geezer who got the Liberation front?
Well found…
(Sfx- zaah zaaah *sfft sfft*)
Yato: If you are Gengai then you must already know…
Why you’re here.
Gengai: Yeah, I figured as much…
It’s to wipe my ass huh?
(Side text- But before that, take care of this…-)
