Gin: Hey, Darking!
SFX: AAAAA
Tsuku: 'Kay, I can understand Yoshiwara's courtesans,
but why're these guys heeeere?!!
Insert: The red-light district is still dyed in disorder---!!
Title: "Gintama"
Tsuku: How unprincipled can you be that ya used the love drug ta even get yer hands on yer friends?!!
Gin: C-Calm down, honey!!
SFX: DODOH
Gin: I... I just wanted to ****... er, save as many honeys as possible.
I still haven't put a hand or a ***** on them. Right, honeys?

Page 2:
Taw: Don't touch meeee!!
Who're you calling honey, dammiiiiit!!
SFX: DODOO
Tsuku: !!
Y-You guys fell in love with this idiot because of the love potion...?
Kyuu: Please stop joking, Tsukuyo-dono.
Tae: I would rather be eaten by a beast of the savanna than be devoured by this beast.
Kyuu: B-But... you just had hearts for eyes.
Tae: No we didn't. That must've just been your imagination.
Handwritten: Right, Kyuu-chan?
Kyuu: Ah, maybe it was because I was just thinking I wanted to eat Heart Chipples...
T/N: Heart Chipples are a kind of heart-shaped snack food.
Tsuku: That's not really the problem here.
Tae: And anyhow, hearts in our eyes in this day and age? This isn't some Joumon Period romantic comedy.
T/N: The Jomon Period was from 12,000 BC to around 300 BC.
Tsukuyo: No, they're new-type hearts!! They're even 3D!! And Kyuubee, yer eye patch just turned into a Heart Chiple, didn't it?!!
Don't try ta act tough. You guys smelled the love drug, too, didn' ya?
Tae: N-No, we didn't!! We didn't!!
And even if we had, we would never fall for this idiot!! We don't have one hair of interest in him!
Kyuu: W... We just came because we thought it would be a bad idea to let a beast like him roam free...!!

Page 3:
Someone: A... Anyhow, we'll need to at least do something like this or all of the women of Yoshiwara will be in danger!!
Tsuku: Yer the dangerous ones!! Just how worried are ya that other women'll get their hands on 'im?!!
SFX: GACHARI
Kyuu: I... I told you, it's not that!!
And anyhow, what about you?!! Weren't you eyes hearts last week?! I'm sure they were!
SFX: GIKU
Tsuku: Th-Th-Those were because I was thinki8ng I wanted to eat some Genji Pies...
T/N: Genji Pies are heart-shaped biscuits.
Kyuu: Those are no different from the Heart Chipples, then!
Tsuku: M... My hearts are way bigger than any Heart Chipples.
Tae: So what? You're saying your love is bigger?
Handwritten: Uh, I think I'd better not stay here...
Yeaaah...
Tsuku: N-N-No!
Kyuu: What're you saying? My heart Chipples are cheap and delicious!
Tae: Kyuu-chan, that's enough about the Heart Chipples now.
SFX: GAN
SFX: GASHIIIIN GORIH
Someone: Where are you going,Kin-san?
Gin: Ah, sorry, Kin-san went someplace. I'm Pin-san now.
SFX: PIKU PIKU
Tae: A... Anyhow, we cannot let this beast just run free.
We will bring him back above ground so you can rest easy and find the person behind all this, Tsukuyo-san.
SFX: GAH
Tsuku: N... No.
It would be dangerous to bring a beast like this above ground.
W... We'll confine him here underground. Leave the rest to me. You guys should hurry and take shelter away from here.

Page 4:
Kyuu: Tsukuyo-dono, is this really the time for that?!! Do you really want to stay with this beast that badly?!
Tsuku: Of course not! It's just that everythin' that happens in Yoshiwara's my responsibility. Why the hell're you guys so obsessed with this man...?
Tae: W-We're not obsessed! We told you we just wanna work together with everybody!
SFX: GUI GUI
Tae: Just let me handle him for now!
Tsuku: No, let me do it.
Kyuu: No, I'll do it.
SFX: GIIYAAAAA MEKI MEKI MEKI
SFX: GAH
Kon: No need to worry.
You'll get used to it soon.
Now you guys are our comrades as well.
Gin: Go... Gorilla, you...!!
SFX: BUOO
Tsuku: !!
SFX: HYAGAGAGA

Page 5:
Tsuku: Y... You guys?!
Kon: To all of the lost beasts scattering their lust about indiscriminately,
SFX: ZURU ZURU ZURU ZURU (Dragging)
Kon: remedy that dishonorable lust
and devote that love
to our god
Aizen Myouou-sama.
T/N: This is the literal name of the Buddhist god of love that the incense is named after. Also known as Ragaraja.
Floating Text: Long live Aizen Myouou-sama!
Long live Aizen Myouou-sama!
Kon: If you do, this land
will be enveloped in eternal, everlasting love and utterly equal love.
Tsuku: T... That's crazy. Yer tellin' me that Otae and Kyuubee...
were already... taken in...
to a band of puppets
that have caused Yoshiwara to descend into chaos.

Page 6:
Tsuku: Th... These guys?!
The guys that got turned into beasts by the love drug are bound with chastity belts to get more followers?!
Are they tryin' ta take control of Yoshiwara?!
Gin: Aizen Myouou?!
Do you think the god they worship is the one behind this?
Tsuku: It's no god.
They're here in Yoshiwara, ain't they?
Here, there are those that have wiles on par with those of gods which manipulate the hearts of people to their wills.
They... are women that are called both gods and demons.
Insert: Elsewhere at around the same time...
Title: Lesson 494
Beast Trash
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Shin: Hey, hold on!!
......Kagura,
why... are you running?

Page 7:
Kagura: I... I'm sorry, I......
I just suddenly... couldn't see your face properly anymore, Shinpachi-kun...
Shin: Wh... Why? What do you mean?
I won't be able to understand unless you look this way and we talk about it.
Kagura: L... Like I said, I...
Sh... Shinpachi-kun, I...
Shin: Look this way!
Kagura: .........
Shin: Please,
look me in the eye.
Kagura: I... I can't.
He's... just too cool. When I look at him, I can't say anything.
Shin: Aah......
I can't take my eyes off you... It's like I'm a slave to your eyes.

Page 8:
Shin: Ka... Kagura.
If you won't say anything, then... I, the man, will...
I want... those eyes to stare at me forevermore.
No one else... I only want you to look at me.
SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI
Kagura: Wh... What...?
Th-Then I want... you to always only look at me, Shinpachi-kun.
SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI
Shin: E... Ever since I first met you... I've been glued to those eyes.
Kagura: Will you promise me something? I want your eyes, Shinpachi-kun... to always be only mine.
Shin: Sure. These aren't eyes for other women. I can see... only you.
Kagura: I... I'm so glad.
Shin: Ka... Kagura, I won't... give them to anyone else.
Kagura: Shinpachi-kun... I won't leave either.
THOSE GLASSEEEEEEES!!
Shin: That me reflected in your eeeeeeeeyes!!
SFX: UGAAAAAA BARIN DOSU

Page 9:
SFX: BARIIN GYAAAAAA
Shin: MY EYEEEES! MY EYEEEES!!
Kagura: GUOOOO! What the hell did you do?!!
Shin: ......Huh? What... are we doing in a place... like this?
Kagura: What the hell're you staring at?! It is creepyyyyy!!
SFX: PAAN
Handwritten: What're you doing, dammiiit!!
Someone: Huhuh. When you were young, did you ever find out
Guys: !
Someone: what love is?
SFX: SHARAN SHARAN SHARAN
Someone: Yes, love is
just like the trick those glasses showed you.
With time, soon the colors fade and it withers.
Just like a flower.
SFX: GOGO

Page 10:
Person: There is no such thing as eternal love in this world.
SFX: SHARAN SHARAN
Woman: It is all
nothing but a butterfly dancing in a blooming flower for a brief time.
SFX: SHARAN SHARAN
Woman: A sad story, isn't it?
So...
SFX: SHARAN SHARAN
WOman: I will change you.
Guys: !! Ko... Kondou-san?!
!!
Sister!! Kyuubee-san!!
Woman: I will bring everyone with me.

Page 11:
Woman: To a flower of illusions
which, no matter how much time passes,
will not fade or wilt.
if you devote your love to me, Aizen Myouou Hotaru,
I will love you all for all eternity.

Page 12:
SFX: WAAAAA
Papers: Aizen Myouou Hotaru
Shin: ...Why.
Why?
Ho-Hotaru-san?
Why would
you do something like this...?
Kagura: You sure fooled us, yes?
You said you had the Aizen Kou used on you by a man trying to trick you, but...
you were the one using the love potion to control men, yes?
Just what I would expect from a popular courtesan from Yoshiwara... Or I would like to say that.
But with the way you are acting, I do not know how you even got that level of status.
Hotaru: ......Do you know
what kind of place Yoshiwara is?

Page 13:
Hotaru: It is a place where you have to like men you may not like at all.
I... really left someone I liked back in my hometown.
And as I fell in lots of different men here
I began to lose track... of who I really liked.
And at some point I even forgot... those desire to meet that man again.
...What's so bad about this love drug?
Don't you think that it's a much more beautiful form of love
than the kind in people's hearts that just switches to someone else with the passage of time?
With this drug, they will be able to forever love one person.
Love is an illusion.
But if one is seeing an illusion,
then would they not like to see a beautiful illusion?
You two are all that is left.
So please, do not fear, come join everyone else.
Come to the love you will never awaken from,
to true love.

Page 14:
SFX: DODOGOO
SFX: GAGAGAGA
Gin: ...Sorry, but I have a policy about never going back to bed with someone.
Even if you're a woman,
SFX: OOOOOOO
Gin: if you want to dream, do it on your own,
Honey.

Page 15:
Tsuku: I'm tired of smelling that sickly sweet smell.
It's about time fer a wake-up whiff,
Hotaru.
Shin: Gin-san!
Kagura: Tsukky!!
Hotaru: ...Tsukuyo-chan,
how...? I was sure you had been captured by my followers and made to smell the incense...
Tsuku: Followers?
Ooh, sure is a lot of confidence ya've got. Do ya really think there's nobody left in Yoshiwara that hasn't fallen for ya?
Men: AIzen Myouou-sama~~~~ [Heart]
Protect Myouou-sama from the traito~~~~rs! [Heart]
Handwritten: Hotaru-samaaaa!!
SFX: MERIH

Page 16:
Tae: What are you acting so goofy for?!!
Aizen Myouou-sama this, Aizen Myouou-sama that,
I... I thought you used to be my stalker? You idiot!!
SFX: PUIH
Kon: !!
Tae: Ah, I feel queasy. Why do I feel so queasy?
This feeling in my stomach... could it be?
Guys: ......It can't be.
She's fallen for.......
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM?!

Page 17:
Tae: Oh~~~~ I'm getting nervouuus!!
Tsukuyo-san, hurry!! I fooled the sex maniacs and brought them here, so do something about that Aizen Myouou or whatever, pleaaase!!
SFX: DAH GYAAA
Someone: Now the positions are totally reversed from normal!! The gorilla's become the gorilla's stalkeeeeer!!
Kagura: Well, then really not all that much has changed, yes?
Tsuku: Why tha hell're you joining in now, Gintokiiii?!!
SFX: GYAAAAA DOSU
Hotaru: Could it be... There are still outsiders.......
here, as well?
SFX: CHAH
Kyuu: Sorry, but in there are some people in this world that even your wiles will not reach.
However, thanks to you, I was able to escape the bonds of my unrequited love for Otae-chan.
I give you my thanks.
Now I can move forward looking only at this one sword.
Gin: Oh, is that right? So you finally feel like facing men now, huh?
Okay, now's the time. Whether it's one long sword or two or three spurts, I'll show you the ropes...
Kyuu: No, one is fine. A... As long as I can have that.
Gin: That's the one sword you wanteeeed?!! You're in love with my thiiing?!! So in the end you're still stuck with friggin' unrequited love, aren't yooou?!!
SFX: CHAKI
Someone: HEEEEY! What the hell kind of situation were you guys in when you smelled the love drug?!!
And why the hell is Tsukuyo-san joining in tooooo?!!
