GINTAMA
(Side text- What has Mutsu the underground merchant given Shinpachi….?!)
(Sfx- Shuuuuhhhh *fwhooooooom*)
Shinpachi: M—Mutsu-san..
Just what….
Is this?!
Mutsu: It’s a weapon as I said.
I dunno what you’re going to use it for, be it stopping the war or assassinating the prime minister, but…
As far as I know this is the ultimate weapon.

002
???: Yawwwn~! I rested well, yes?
Shinpachi: There’s no way…
The universe’s deadliest fighting clan…
As well as the daughter of the universe’s number one Alien hunter…
And the sister of the universe’s number one pirate…
You can’t be seriouuuuuus?!
???: Oooh…

003
???: This is…
Mami’s other homeland Earth, yes?
Mutsu(?): Kagura….
‘s daughter Kanna.

004
(Sfx- Gagaaahhhh *shzhooooom*)
{THE FINAL FANTASY….}
{HAS YET TO ENDDDDD?!}
GINTAMA
(Side text- Meanwhile, Gintoki is…)
Lesson 674: Two years for a girl is ten for a man.
SORACHI HIDEAKI

005
Hijikata: So back then
Takasugi most likely..
Freed the Tendoushuu from their captivity on the Amenotorifune…

And used the immortal Utsuro’s blood within them.
The one that sustains life.
Hijikata: So in short he’s using terrorism to…
Once again target various altana the Tendoushuu possess.
I can't say I'm absolutely certain,
However we know for sure that he’s alive, yeah?

006
Gintoki: That guy…Takasugi..
In order to overturn the world the Tendoushuu…no, Utsuro created dyed his hands in blood.
In the war two years ago, that’s exactly why he helped us out.
So what exactly is he trying to prove now that he’s supporting the Tendoushuu with terrorism?
HIjikata: However…
He’s the sort that will do whatever it takes and use what he has to for his goals.
Even with all of that…
There’s still something else he wants, and if he's like you who
went as far as abandoning the Yorozuya and Edo…
To go on a journey.
Maybe like him, there’s something that you have to do, even if it means overturning your entire being.

007
Gintoki: It’s nothing that major in my case.
It’s not even worth talking about.
Robot: If you won’t tell us anything then there’s no way we can release you as a person of interest.
Is that okay with you?
Gintoki: Hey, you’re helping me out by giving me a place to crash for free.
Robot: Hijikata-san, it appears any further interrogation would be a waste of time.
HIjikata: Yeah.
Though while we’re on the subject of questions, I have one for you.
Who the hell are you?
You just sorta...casually included yourself in the conversation, but I don't know who you are.
Gintoki: What, you saying you don't know him?
Hijikata: I don't. For a minute there I thought maybe I missed a week since this guy casually was doing things as if he's always been here.
Robot: Ah, well I did appear in last week’s chapter…
You don’t have to worry about me –in fact please just consider me a background character that an assistant drew.
Hijikata: Um no, at this point you’re way more than a background character….are you actually Roboco—
Robot: No, I’m Mobcop.
Hijikata: Uh…what’s a Mobcop?
(TN- “Mob” is short for “Mob character” which is a character who’s in the background and doesn’t stand out.)

008
Mobcop: Actually I’m a new mechanical police officer introduced into the force by the New Government administration and this is my first day.
(Side text- Sorry for the late introduction.)
Hijikata: Uhhh, you give off one hell of an impression to be a background character. Actually, could you zip it for a bit? We’re in the middle of a conversation…
Mobcop: Ah, sorry about that, it was my first appearance so maybe I was a little too blunt…
(Sfx- Gohooon *cough*)
HIjikata: Listen Yorozuya, it’s up to you if you wanna talk or not, but…
but you're not helping his case. If he takes this too far then we may not be able to stop things that we could possibly prevent.
And we can’t abandon the possibly of his actions damaging Edo.
Are you…
Saying you’re okay with that?
(Sfx- Veeeeen *vrrrrrn*)
Hijikata: Or is Edo already…
That kind of city to you?
(Sfx- Funngh *huurngh*)
HIjikata: Or is it…
Or is it do you..
(Sfx- Fuuuungooogaaaaaaah *Nragggaaaaaaaaahhh*)
Hijikata: Believe in him –Takasugi…
(Sfx- buri buri buru bushaaa *plipliplpip blooorsh*)

009
Hijikata: STOP DISTRACTING MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
JUST WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IN THE CORNER THERE?
Mobcop: Um…well you said to make some Katsudon earlier, so I was doing just that.
Hijikata: AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT KATSU COMING FROM?! DO ROBOCOPS REALLY HAVE THAT KINDA FUNCTION!?
Mobcop: I’m sorry, I’ll add the Mayonnaise now.
(Sfx- Buchuu buchuuuh *bloorp blrop*)
HIjikata: I DON’T WANT IT?!! MORE LIKE WHY DOES HALF OF YOUR BODY SEEM TO BE MADE UP OF COOKING TOOLS?!
I SAID YOU’RE STANDING OUT TOO MUCH, DAMMIT! EVER SINCE YOUR UGLY MUG SHOWED UP THE STORY’S GOTTEN DERAILED! CAN’T YOU BE A GOOD BACKGROUND CHARACTER AND READ THE DAMN MOOD?!
Mobcop: Then would you like to leave the interrogation to me?
Hijikata: What?!
Mobcop: I’ve been cultivated with all kinds of police knowhow and prepared for several situations. It should be easy to get through to this man.
HIjikata: Uh, wow, you’re talking really big now.
Mobcop: Hey, bastard!! It’s fine and dandy if you wanna keep your mouth shut…
But even a scumbag you’ve got a momma back home don’tcha?!
Hijikata: Wow, talk about clichéd, geez. Do you think trying a humanistic approach with a bad guy like this will work?
Mobcop: You sure you wanna make yer momma cry?
If I use my built in weapons, I can turn yer momma’s house and the surrounding 3 kilos into scorched earth.
Hijikata: You’re threatening him?!
Gintoki: Hate to break it to you champ, but I don’t know where my mom is or who she is for that matter.
What about you though? Your parents gave you a body and now you’re all metal and shit…
Wouldn’t that be more likely to make ‘em cry?

010
Mobcop: TH—that can’t be…
I—I’m just the scribbling of an assistant! There’s no way I, Mobcop could be such a sad being—
{But they aren’t there…}
{My memories of myself before I was modified aren’t there…}
Hijikata: WHY DOES A BACKGROUND CHARCTER GET A FLASHBAAACK!?
{However the more I talk about it, the more the more the memories of before when I served as a police officer dedicated to his country before an accident caused my body to end up in a critical state and to then be experimented on and offered to science to become Mobcop…}
Hijikata: WE’VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM YOU!! HURRY UP AND GET BACK TO THE INTERROGATION!!
{I wonder…back then was there no one to mourn for me?}
{No one to stop me…?}
HIjikata: WILL SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THIS FLASHBACK NO ONE CARES ABOUT??!
{Well….even now not a single person has come looking for me…}
{So perhaps I’ll never get any answers.}
Mobcop: I….
Don’t remember anything.
(Sfx- Pota pota *drip drip*)
Mobcop: I’m sure everyone has forgotten about me…
And because I didn’t want to remember that reality I in turn forgot everything!!
Hijikata: BUT YOU JUST REGURGITATED YOUR ENTIRE BACKSTORY YOURSELF?!
???: Would someone who’s got no one to be sad over them…
Cry like this?

011
Gintoki: Even if you’ve lost your memories, your body still remembers.
How there must be someone precious enough to shed tears over.
Hijikata: And you, don’t you dare start lecturing like some failed teacher having some kinda afterschool moment, dammit!
Gintoki: It’s just your body has changed so your buddies don’t recognize you is all.
If you can remember everything and introduce yourself I’m sure they’ll come running.
Mobcop: D—do you really think so?
Do you really think I haven’t been forgotten?
Hijikata: WHO THE HELL IS BEING INTERROGATED HERE?!
Gintoki: Yeah, sure. So try to remember –who are you, and what were you plotting with Takasugi?
Hijikata: Hey, quit trying to modify his memories to include crimes, dammit!
(Sfx- Bishiiihhh *sheeeeen*)
Mobcop: Wait! I can remember something! Something’s commmiiiing!!!
(Sfx- Bishiiii bishiiii *veeen veeeeen*)
Hijikata: Just stop it! How many pages are we going to dedicate to a background character?!
(Sfx- Bata bata *shifftsffht*)
Mobcop: Where’s my notebook! I need my notebook!
Gintoki: Notebook?
Mobcop: I just remembered that before I was modified that I had one thing in my possession…it might just be a photo, but If I could see it I think I might remember something!!
(Sfx- Baribaribari *zzzzzzzzt*)
Mobcop: AUUUGHHHH!!!
(Sfx- Dosaaaaaah *thud*)

012
{Ah….}
{We totally forgot him.}
???: YOU SURE FRIGGIN' DID!!
(Sfx- Gaoooooon *fooooom*)
(Sfx- Gogogogogo *rmmmmmble*)
Mobcop: I remember everything now!!

013
Yamazaki: My existence totally slipped your minds didn’t it?! And then my body got tossed around to different people…
Until it became something incredible!!
(Sfx- Dodododdododo *thoohtohohthooom*)
Yamazaki: It was all some lie that they’d give me reputable treatment, in the end I was just in a tank for two years in my shit stained underwear!!
Hijikata: WAAAAAIT! WE DIDN’T FORGET, I PROMISE!!
(Sfx- Gooaaaahhh dogaakakakahhh *thooooom boooom*)
Gintoki: It’s just a lot of stuff has happened, so we were kinda busy but we didn’t forget!
We just had to put you on the back burner for a bit….
Hijikata: But we TOTALLY remembered right!
Gintoki: Totally, dude! Totally!
Man it’s great to see you’re doing so well,
Um…uh…..
Shibasaki-kun?!
Yamazaki: SO YOU DID FORGET!!
(Sfx- Dokagaaaahhh *babooooom*)
(Sfx- Doshaashh *thuuuud*)
Hijikata: Ungh!
Mobcop has gone rouge guys, someone stop him!!
Ah! You bastaard!!

014
Someone: Hold it right there!!
Capture him! Don’t let him escape!!
Gintoki: Heh…
Seems like it’s you guys who haven’t changed.
Are they….
Are the yorozuya doing okay?
Hijikata: Why don’t you go find out yourself?
(Sfx- Piiiiiiihh *wheeeeeeh*)
(Handwritten- After him!!)
Hijikata: Damn…

015
Hijikata: That idiot….
(Sfx- Zaaaaahhh *whsssssht*)
Mutsu: As ordered I’ve given you the goods.
It’s up to you to decide how to use it.
She’s on lease from her holder.
If she gets injured then you’ll incur extra costs.
Tamako: Shinpachi-sama?
Shinpachi-sama?

016
Kanna: Hey, what are you doing there?
I want to hurry and see Edo, yes? Do you mind if I go on ahead?
Tamako: I apologize Kanna-sama, but as you can see Shinpachi-sama’s expression is strange…
Hello? Shinpachi-sama?
Kanna: That’s probably no good, yes?
You dropped this earlier.
Mommy told me….
That this is the true form of the creatures known as earthlings.
Shinpachi: BUT WHO THE HELL IS YOUR MOMMYYYYYY?!
Kanna: See?

017
Shinpachi: Holy crap that was close…my heart and retorts stopped for three minutes.
(Sfx- Zeh zeh hyuh *huff puff*)
Shinpachi: H…how is this happening…you’re Kagura-chan’s…daughter?
There’s no way this can be! I won’t be fooled by the final fantasy!!
Kanna: You’re mommy’s underling Pattan are you not?
Shinpachi: Who the hell is her underling?!
Kanna: She told me all about Earth and how it’s filled with low grade creatures like you.
Shinpachi: It was all badmouthing?!
Kanna: I wanted to see mommy’s other homeland…
So I came looking here for work, yes?
I did not believe I’d find a job that involves you, Pattsan.
Shinpachi: Th---
That’s enough!!
You can’t be Kagura-chan’s daughter so who are you?!
In the two years since we separated, there’s no way she could have a child who’s your age!
Moreover back then Kagura-chan was 14 years old, so she’d be 16 now!! Th—there’s no way that she’d do something so slutty!
JUMP AND MY VIRGINITY WON’T ACCEPT THIS!!
Kanna: Slutty? What’s that? Is having children slutty? What part of it is slutty?
Shinpachi: Uh, no, and please stop looking at me with those marble like eyes.
Th—then okay tell me who the dad is! There’s no way Kagura-chan would…

018
Kanna: It’s a banana.
Shinpachi: ….Not what I meant.
Er, who’s banana then?
Kanna: She ate too many bananas and threw me up.
Shinpachi: WHAT’S WITH THAT VERY “DEMON KING PICCOLO” WAY OF GIVING BIRTH?!
Do the yato clan give birth to children like that?! Is that the setup we’re going for here?!
Kanna: No, she went traveling around the stars and found a planet where they taught her this secret technique that is sort of like childbirth I think.
Shinpachi: THAT’S NOT THE SORTA TECHINIQUE A HEROINE SHOULD LEARN!! MORE LIKE I FEEL LIKE I’VE SEEN THOSE FEELERS SOMEWHERE BEFORE!!
(Sfx- Gobuurorooohh *blooooorssssh*)
Shinpachi: Then, you’re….
H…how is Kagura-chan?
Is she doing okay?
And what about Sadaharu—

019
???: What’s this…
You're supposed to prepare the prey we need to kill the prime minister...
But that's not quite the right one.
However…
This seems like it’ll be much more interesting.
