Gintama 648

The real battlefield is the human mind and forgetting to work on this as soon as I got it.



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

Matako: Shinsuke-samaaaaa!!!

004
Nobunobu: That's enough.
This has...
Gone on long enough.
We did not come to this place...
For our hatred to collide against one another...
We came here for the express purpose...
of stopping this.
So then we must...
Stop ourselves too.

005
Nobunobu: Answering revenge with revenge....
Is akin to falling into a endless spiral of hatred.
So....
I apologize for this but...
Everyone please...
Hold yourselves back.

006
Enshou: There's no need for that.
Finish me off.
Whether you stop me or not...
This hatred will not disappear.
The sadness...
and the pain...
as long as we're alive it will continue ceaselessly.

007
Lady: But that's how it should be...
I want to live with that pain.
After all it's the proof that that person lived...
The proof that within me that person still lives.
The reason why I was able to feel this way...
Is because I was able to be with you and this child.
So Enshou....
You can't die on the battlefield and leave me alone.
You must outlive me...
So that when I'm gone you can experience more pain...
Enshou: Those were the last words I had with my wife...
She said that I should live with the pain...

008
{All without knowing....}
{From whence this pain had been born...}
???: Welcome back Gunsmoke Prince!!
Or would it be better to say my proud little brother,
The guardian god of Burei?
{I had never...}
{Known exactly how I felt about her.}
Oniisan: Don't worry about it.
This is a peaceful alliance journeying to avoid the outbreak of war.
There won't be anything dangerous going on.
Besides....
Our hero the Gunsmoke prince will be with me.

009
(Sfx- Dododooooh thoooom)
Oniisan: A—a sneak attack?!
You mean all that talk of an alliance was a trap?!
Enshou, respond!!
I've been surrounded by the enemy, and I need immediate backup...
Enshou...?!
ENSHOU?!
{From the very start...}
{I had no right to hate someone because of her.}

010
{Her enemy was...}
{Me.}
{The Gunsmoke Prince...}
{Rather than heading into battle...}
{Turned away from the warzone...}
{And has been running away....}
{Ever since that time.}
{It was only when I was on the battle field...}
{That I could forget the pain....}
{Of watching her valiantly fight against her own suffering.}
{It was when I was staring into the gulf of life and death...}
{That I could forget...}
{My own weakness that made me continue to run from her.}
{It was only then that I could forget the pain that plagued me...}
{When I lost her and could do nothing about it.}

011
Enshou: So I kept on running....
And came here to another battlefield.
I don't even have the right to suffer over losing her...
It's fitting....
For my fate to be to die on the battle field after doing nothing but running my whole life.
Takasugi: Does this fighting coming to an end frighten you?
If that happens –if it ends then a hero becomes nothing more than a regular person.
However...
That is where the real battlefield lies.
(Sfx- Zaatsuhhh shffft)
Takasugi: This body will probably never stand on a battlefield again.
This body that can no longer run away...
Will continue to struggle and suffer....
As an ordinary human would.

012
Takasugi: We even fail at....
dying properly.
Enshou: You....
Takasugi: I'm similar to you, really...
I've committed more sins than I could ever care to recall....
But...
It's because of that I've continued to live in a state like this...
And...
If the guy born of those sins...
If that man is asking me to stop...
Then I have no choice but to do just that.
Nobunobu: Takasugi....
(Sfx- Gachaa clack)
Sakamoto: Gimmie a break....
You're not gonna even refuse the orders of the Shogun? I wouldn't be able to stop even if my head were literally on the line.
Katsura: Hmph...
I do not intend to acknowledge that man's authority as Shogun...
But if the real deal were here,
I might reconsider.

013
(Sfx- Gacha gacha gacha gacha click click click)
Enshou: Y—you bastards!!
Nobunobu: If you'd like to continue, then by all means..
This place is no longer our battlefield.
People, I ask that you bear your sadness and anger...
While continuing to live.
???: We have to stop the ship from crashing!!
Anyone who is still able, give us a hand here!

014
Enshou: Your eyes are the same...
It seems someone like me who knows nothing but fleeing...
stood no chance against those who have eyes like yours.
The land of Samurai...
Has good people...
And a great ruler.
It's a fine land.
Could you lend us a hand?
We may still be able to make it in time...
I cannot allow any more of my men to be killed.

015
Guy: P--
Prince!!
Shijaku: You fool.
Why did you not say something sooner?
Why did we not do something sooner--
Someone: Hurry! We've got to give them a hand!!
Shijaku: With them...
We may have found ourselves embarking upon a different future...
Why....
Were you such a fool....
Enshou: Shijaku...
I'm sorry.

016
(Sfx- Panpann bang bang)
Someone: ENSHOOOU!!
Amanto: Q—quit screwing with me, dammit!
We followed all of your orders, sacrificed or comrades...
And now you hoist up the white flag?!
Then what the fuck did our comrades die for?!
Shijaku: YOU BASTAAAAAAARD!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Grab him!!!

017
Shijaku: Enshoou!!!
Enshoooou!!
(Sfx- Gopuhh blorp)

018
Katsura: No...
Sakamoto: Nobunobuuuuu!!!
(Sfx- Gacha gacha click click)
Someone: YOU BASTAAARDS!!
Nobunobu: STOP!
GINTAMA LESSON 648.....END

019
Nobunobu: I did tell you before...
To hold yourselves back.
Sakamoto: Nobunobu...
Nobunobu: Forgive that man....
For he has said nothing wrong.
We came here and started a war of our own accord, and made them the targets of our line of fire.
And then we just decided on our own to end things.
If you still have bullets left unfired then it is our duty...
To accept them.
We are the ones who started this war...
So then it is our obligation as the two generals to end it with our lives.
