Gintama 520

These scripts are short, but they're still really hard to translate. Partly because of the emotion that has to be conveyed, but also because of the metaphors and such that are really hard to pick up on. It's hard to know exactly what these guys mean a lot of the time. I think I got it all.

SFX: BIH
SFX: KARARAN
Oboro: Do not waste
the lives that were picked up by your master.

Page 11:
Tendoushuu: Do you really intend to let these people leave alive?
Are you perhaps taking pity on that Shouyou man?
Oboro?
Oboro: ..........
These people no longer have anything to protect.
For a samurai, that is the same as death.
And beyond all else, these people have
destroyed it themselves a result of their own weakness.
They are not worth killing.
I doubt they will ever be able to hold a sword again.

Page 12:
Taka: ......The last thing
this left eye saw

Page 13:
Taka: was your face.
.....Do you know how much easier it would be
if the enemy that is burned into this eye was a Bakufu?
SFX: GEHO
SFX: GOHUH

Page 14:
Taka: Our enemy
SFX: HYUUU HYUU
Taka: is ourselves.
SFX: ZEE ZEE
Taka: Despite that we
fought to save that man
because of our weakness... we ended up surviving
by using that man's life as a stepping stone.
You
bore that sin.
And every time I remember your face burned into his eye
the wound aches and screams.

Page 15:
Taka: Why don't you avenge sensei?
If you stick a blade in that chest, everything would end, it says.
...That's exactly it.
We shouldn't have survived.
...Why
did you come to save us?
Why
didn't you abandon us to save Sensei?
I know you could've done it.
Even though you had promised me... back then...
And even though you
more than anyone else
should have wanted to save him.

Page 16:
Taka: Why?
SFX: POTA POTA (Drip drip)
Taka: Why...?
Why the hell would you choose us, Gintoki?
SFX: ZUZU...
Gin: .........
Back then,
if you were me, that's what you would've done.
That's why you
point your blade at me, right?
SFX: ZAU
Gin: That's why you
don't point your sword at yourself, you point it at another you.
That's why you're trying to cut down
an enemy that hurts far more than cutting down yourself, right?

Page 17:
Gin: It's too bad, then.
I won't fall.
Until you fall,
until you stop,
I'll keep standing back up.
Takasugi, I sure as hell don't remember choosing you.
All that happened was, far more than the things you held dear,
Shouyou: Everyone, protect them for me, okay?
Gin: I knew about what he held dear.
Even if I...... have to use my master's corpse as a stepping stone,
Takasugi, even if I have to use your corpse as a stepping stone,

Page 18:
Gin: I will protect the soul of his disciple, our comrade,
Takasugi Shinsuke of Shouka Sonjuku.
I am the disciple of Yoshida Shouyou,
Sakata Gintoki.
Taka: ......Kuku.
Even now...... you... still...
...I see.
I didn't know. I still...
haven't been expelled from the school, huh?
SFX: DOH
