Gintama 197

Its been a month XD Everyone else got their favorite manga last week, but Sorachi had to take an EXTRA week off after that. That Jump SQ oneshot better be awesome Sorachi! You owe me!

Extra note...There is a lot of historical context in this chapter. I'm still in the process of looking it up, so anyone who finds stuff out before me should post it in this thread so that others will be less confused. :) Thanks!

Otae: I was a bit concerned when we came to this hot springs at first, but it turns out after actually being in it that its old appearance has a nice air to it after all.

Kagura: And there isn’t a single other guest here…We’ve got the whole place to ourselves don’t we?

Like if I wanted to, I could pee in this bath and no one would have a problem with it would they?

Otae: I would.

Besides its not at all true that we’re the only guests here you know.

Kagura: ?

Uwaaah!

Well lookie here! Kondou you came too?

Otae: No, that’s not Kondou Kagura-chan.

Monkeys from the mountains seem to like coming to the Bi hada kou ka baths as well! I wonder if they’re female?

Kagura: They’ve got hair all over their bodies so its hard to tell. Its like the only thing that’s free on their body is the ass.

Otae: Well its fine to share the hot spring.

I wonder how the men are doing in their bath?

003

Otae: Hmm Is anything wrong there?

Kagura: Hey! Gin-ch----an! Shinpachi! Having hot flashes over there?!

Gintoki: Its…kind….

Of full….

Otae: Really? Do you have some monkeys over there too?

Gintoki: No…

Its something stranger than that.

GINTAMA

Lesson 197: Silver and the good for nothing of his highness.

Sorachi Hideaki

004

Kagura: What’s up? You guys feeling a bit confined over there? Hya hya hya hya hya!

Otae: Kagura-chan! What am I going to do with you?

Kagura: Sorry you two! Didn’t mean to intrude on your mood over there! I know how close you men like to be to each other! Hya hya hya hya!

Shinpachi: …..

Sure go ahead and make fun of us! I’m glad you’re having fun.

But right now all we want is to get out of here!

Gintoki: I want to faaaaint!!! I’m going to faiiint!!

Shinpachi: Gin-sannnnnnnnnn!!

Gintoki: WHY!!! Why won’t I faint?! I wanna die! Die!

Shinpachi: Calm down please Gin-san! Don’t do that to yourself please!

Gintoki: NO! I have to faint! I can’t take it any more! The modern times are getting to me! Let me faint!!

Shinpachi: What the hell is up with this Hot spring anyway?

It’s like all the spirits around this area have gathered in this one place!

Gintoki: They’re not spirits! They’re STANDS! STANDS!

005

Gintoki: Hmm? Wait a minute here, we can totally see these guys.

Is it steam or something?

Shinpachi: I don’t think that’s right.

Gintoki: No it HAS to be steam. I mean let’s be for real here, sure we can see people’s shapes but that’s about it! they’re transparent for goodness sake!

Shinpachi take a big deep breath like ‘uuuuh’ and inhale it.

Shinpachi: Do I look like a pregnant mom to you?!

Gintoki: Shut up and inhale already.

Shinpachi: GYAHH!!

SFX: jiii! (Shove)

SFX: suuuuutsu (inhaling.)

Shinpachi: *Cough! Cough!*

What the hell was that for?!

Gintoki: Hey hey! See! Nothing happened! I knew it! It was just steam after al!

Shinpachi: Yeah. Nothing happened at all.

(On forehead: Curse)

Gintoki: …..

006

Gintoki: Uh yeah, about that…my bad.

Shinpachi: Huh? What? What’s up? Something happen?

Gintoki: Um nothing. It just looks like its 10 thousand 18 years old is all.

Shinpachi: Well Gin-san, you guessed right.

This seems to just be steam after all.

Gintoki: No it’s not just steam, it was just my assertion.

Shinpachi: I guess I’d better get out of here, or I’ll really have some hot flashes.

Gintoki: “I”? “I”? What did you just say?

(TN: Normally Shinpachi uses ‘Boku’ for his I pronoun, which is normal albeit a bit formal for guys to use. However in this case he uses “Wagahai” Which is really old and somewhat haughty sounding. The Millennium Earl in D-Gray man and Neuro in Majin tantei nougami Neuro use this form of “I”.)

Shinpachi: For some reason, my body feels sort of heavy…

Gintoki: Wait! You’re actually 10 million sixteen years old!! Much too young to be using that form of “I” anyway!!

What will I do?! Otae’ll friggin kill me!!

Shinpachi: Huh? What did you say?

Gintoki: For now I’ll apologize one more time to you Shinpachi-kun!!

Otae: Ah, that hot spring was delightful!

Shinpachi: Ah sister, Kagura-chan.

007

Kagura: How is it?! Doesn’t my skin look so smooth and sexy?! FUHAHAHAhAH!!

Gintoki: WHO ARE YOU!?!

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

I’M ASKING WHO ARE YOU!?!

Kagura: What are you saying? It is I!

Otae: And I.

Shinpachi: And I.

Gintoki: ALL OF YOU ARE USING THAT “I”!!

Otae: How about we all go to my room and have a game of Uno?

Kagura: Sounds like fun! FUAHAHAHAHA!

Gintoki: They’ve all totally accepted this! What the hell?!

HEY! Wait up! Don’t leave me here all alone!!

SFX: Kusu kusu…(snicker snicker)

(LAND LADY!!!)

SFX: kusu kusu kusu kusu kusu (more snickering)

008

Gintoki: YOU OLD BAT!!

SFX: Datsu!! (Dash!!)

Gintoki: Where are you hiding?!

Get out here!!

What are you planning to do to us?!

What the hell is this inn?!

Change all of my friends back to normal!!

SFX: kusu kusu kusu kusu kusu (Aaand more snickering)

(Let’s capture this guy.)

(This guy should be just fine.)

009

Gintoki: U…

UOWAAAAAHHHH!

SFX: Pachi pachi pachi pachi (Applause)

Gintoki: Huh?

Oiwa: O—kay. Congratulations.

You managed to pass the interview.

010

Oiwa: I’m giving you forty seconds to prepare!

I don’t want Band-Aids! Hurry up because he’s busy too you know!

Gintoki: Uh…what….what is this?

Oiwa: That Otose, all high and mighty sending you out here, isn’t that just awful?

The girls you came with and that useless glasses brat all managed to get possessed. I’m sure you want them back to normal which will mean you’ll have to work.

Gintoki: Uh…what? What are you talking about…work?

Girl: Landlady, The head master has arrived.

Gintoki: GYAHHHH!!

SFX: Nu (Going through something)

Oiwa: Rei, I’ve got a brand new worker. He’s the silver guy sitting there. He’ll be accompanying you.

Gintoki: Silver?! You do know that I have a name right? Besides that you don’t plan on dragging me body, soul and flesh into this world that you guys inhabit do you?!

Wait! You really think I’m going to end up getting dragged into your strange world right?! What the hell is this?! Aren’t you guys supposed to be in a different manga then?!

011

Oiwa: Oh by the way you should probably take this.

Without it the spirits won’t even bother talking to you ordinarily.

SFX: Basatsu!! (Toss)

Bag: (Can’t read first kanji *Blank* peanuts)

Gintoki: So this is how it’s going to go down huh?! Fine! Lets go thern! But I’ll have you know I hate goods too!

Rei: Let’s go silver. Over here.

Gintoki: THIS ISN’T HOW YOU NORMALLY START A CONVERSATION!

Rei: I’m Rei, try not to be a hindrance got it?

Gintoki: You’re not Rei! You’re just a stand I’m telling you!

Rei: Do you really think that’s ok?

You do know that the spirits are actually the Stand’s natural enemy right?

Gintoki: THE STAND’S NATURAL ENEMY?!

Rei: The landlady actually took us in and became our friends, even giving us this Inn to live in. She’s a great person.

Gintoki: Wait you mean our old bat…

Rei: That’s right, she actually sent you here to work. You see a special power is needed to work here, and that’s why Oiwa-san decided to test you.

The Stand and the spirits come to this hot spring.

And it is here that these stands must be taken care of.

Silver…

You have been chosen to do this.

012

Gintoki: Sssss

Stand Hot spring?!

Rei: That’s right, this is the place where the dark energy is the strongest.

The Stand will gather here, where the spirit world spot is located.

Gintoki: That…that…FOSSIL! She’d actually send us to this strange hot spring to do work!! What in the hell was she thinking?!

To sell me into this place!! A freaking Stand hot spring!!!

013

Rei: And if you try to run away…

Shinpachi: I’ve got an UNO!

Kagura: FUHAHAH!

Rei: Your friends will spend eternity playing UNO here under her highness.

Gintoki: You….BASTARDS!

Ghost: Hey Rei! Come here and help me out for a minute!

Gintoki: AUGH!! A new one!!

Rei: Knock it off. You’ve experienced this before.

Ghost: Hurry up Rei this guest is still…

Rei: Silver, it’s your debut.

Gintoki: Huh?!

SFX: DON DON DON! (Thud thud thud)

SFX: Su….(Slide)

014

Gintoki: What the..

It looks like that stand there is just punching away at the wall. Is this some kind of Poltergeist occurrence or something?

SFX: DON DON DON DON (Thudding)

Ghost: Man I’m really pissed at Mitsuhide…

Like how could he do that? Only that Mitsuhide..

Gintoki: Who the heck is Mitsuhide? This guy just seems to be a drunk.

Rei: Its’ Nobunaga.

Gintoki: Nobunaga?! You mean ODA NOBUNAGA?!

Why the hell is Nobunaga in his tighty whities?! He seems totally out of character!

Rei: Because he's obsessed with western stuff.

(Nobunaga was the first to equip his forces with imported guns when katana and other cold weapons still prevailed in Japan. He also had a taste for western costume and artifacts)

Gintoki: Why does it have to be undies?! Of all the western stuff he can fetishise, he went for undies?! Why couldn't he pick up something better?!

Nobunaga: That brat totally caught me unawares - it's not even proper timing for a rebellion!

Not when I was THAT close to conquering the whole Japan! He should at least have spared my feelings!

Gintoki: Hey, it seems like he’s not going to get over the Honnouji Incident easily..

015

Rei: Well we did come all the way here. Silver you go in there and do something about it.

Gintoki: What do you want me to do?! He’s just a drunk!

Rei: That’s fine. It’ll probably do him some good to talk to someone who’s a bit younger than he is.

Gintoki: THEN YOU GO!

Hey…looks like someone is banging on the door in the neighboring room too.

Rei: What’s that?

SFX: DON DON DON (Thudding)

Gintoki: Hey it’s another guy in here banging away at the wall. Who the hell is it this time? Can’t we get him to knock it off?

Ghost: Dammit, I've finished off that demon king Nobunaga, can't I get credit for that? Just let me be the top dog already!

Why did they have to mess it up for me? Its freaking pissing me off...

Hideyoshi.

Gintoki: IT’S MITSUHIDE!!! THAT’S DEFINATLY AKECHI MITSUHIDE!!!

016

Gintoki: This is bad! We defiantly can’t have the two of them meet! Although it’s weird they haven’t seen each other but have rooms nearby! What were you thinking?! MOREOVER WHY THE HELL IS HE ONLY WEARING UNDERWEAR?!

Rei: He is Nobunaga’s subordinate after all. That's why we put them in neighboring rooms. The undies totally fit...as expected of Mitsuhide.

Gintoki: THIS ISN’T THE TIME TO SAY THAT! If they meet there will be nothing but problems!

Huh?! What’s that next door?

SFX: DON DON DON DON DON (Enough with the thudding!!)

Gintoki: Again?!

Oh man! This is the worst! It has to be him! That’s Hide---

Ghost: KILL you hair salon

Gintoki: WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!

Gintoki: KILL YOU HAIR SALOON?! I THOUGHT HIDEYOSHI WOULD BE HERE?! THE LAST TWO ROOMS HAD NOBUNAGA AND HIS MEN SO LOGICALLY IT SHOULD BE HIDEYOSHI IN THIS ROOM CURSING NOBUNAGA'S GUTS RIGHT!?

Rei: That’s Xavier. He brought Christianity to China, but due to his failure of a hairstyle Christianity never gained much popularity.

Gintoki: How could that have been popular?! What stupid reason is that for leaving an imprint of his soul upon this earth?! And he's blaming hair saloons for all that?!!

017
Ghost: Um Excuse me, I’m from the room across the hall.

I’m kind of getting fed up with all that banging and I can’t sleep unless it’s quiet so do you think you could keep it down?

Gintoki: Wait a minute! Could it be Hideyoshi?

Ghost: Dang that Nobunaga pisses me off!

Calling ME a monkey...with that catfish face himself!

Rei: Yeah it is! I knew it!

Gintoki: His undies are dirty! Did he really take a dump in them?! Hideyoshi is totally messed up now!!

More like we have to stop them from meeting in a place like this!!

If the tighty whitey three meets like this it’ll…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

018

Tighty Whities Three's part

???: Ahh man its been a while hasn’t it? Whats up you guys?

???: Nothing much, nice to see you.

???: It’s been way too long!

Rei: Huh…things seem totally normal between them.

Gintoki: Huh.

Nobunaga: Mitsuhide, about that. When we last met…it was in Honnouji wasn't it?

Mitsuhide: Um…is it? I totally don’t remember that.

Gintoki: Oh man Nobunaga's totally bringing it up!

Nobunaga: You don’t remember? Huh? It's that...You seriously don't remember? …

Mitsuhide: Dead serious. After that I was killed too by Hideyoshi-dono anyway so...

Hideyoshi: Oh so THAT was how it was...sounds like I killed you but I don't exactly recall. Speaking of that Mitsuhide - you said "after THAT" so you actually do remember Honnouji right?

Mitsuhide: No no, by "that" I meant the...the time when Nobunaga-dono was assaulted by Mouri. Really, things are a blur to me after that.

Gintoki: What the heck? This is one screwed up conversation.

Hideyoshi: Wait Mitsuhide-san, you said that you were killed "too" so you do know that Nobunaga was killed too, don't you?

Well frankly I KNOW you killed him, I do.

Nobunaga: Wait a minute, monkey.

Did you call me Nobunaga just now?

(Note: Hideyoshi wasn't supposed to refer to Nobunaga by his name alone because he was subordinate to Nobunaga.)

Gintoki: He did, he must have called Nobunaga by name a little too often when no one was looking.

Hideyoshi: Yeah. yeah I did. You have a problem with that?

Gintoki: Hey, after things were getting better you’re making them worse you moron!


019

Hideyoshi: [to Nobunaga] Your Highness may not know because you were dead, but I lived to rule the whole Japan afterwards.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate to call me monkey after that?

Nobunaga: You, ruling the whole Japan? That's quite amazing for a mere monkey.

Mitsuhide: Even if you did get the whole Japan, you stole it from me!

Nobunaga: No, YOU stole it from me first...so everything boils down to this: none of you would have been without me!

Hideyoshi: Wait, do I hear a crackle? Hum, I won't mind giving it a fight...

???: You want a fight?

???: Feel free to give it a shot. I can finish you off with a finger.

???: Speaking of that, I DID kill you before...

???: No, I killed you.

Gintoki: Wait!!!! Listen everyone! Just calm down!!

SFX: PAN PAN PAN (Gunshots)

SFX: DOSASA (slump.)

SFX: Pan (shut).
