Gintama 522

Ok, we got this. Uh... man it took a while to figure out who was being talked about in the beginning but I got it. Sorachi and his metaphors and vague "Who's talking who's being talked about" lines... Geez. I love this manga.

Tendoushuu: He is the next great shogun that subdues barbarians,
Hitotsubashi Nobunobu.
Henceforth known as Tokugawa Nobunobu.
Insert: An eye of madness...!!
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Lesson 522
The Disciples of Shouyou

Page 2:
Shin: Th... That can't be.
Why him......?
Him? The one that the Hitotsubashi Faction
pushed as their leader in order to take over the Bakufu?
Why would the Tendoushuu partner with the Hitotsubashi Group...?
Why
here?
Nobu: ....ut up.
I am......
The great ruler, the shogun.

Page 3:
Nobu: The ones that
insulted me,
the ones that get in my way,
kill them aaaaalll!!
I am the great shogun that subdues barbarians, Tokugawa Nobunobu!!
Oboro: He is an unexpectedly shrewd man, it would seem.
That palanquin you prepared...

Page 4:
Oboro: while you raised him up so high and gave him such status as the rival candidate of the Tendoushuu,
when we told him we would give him the seat of Shogun he forgot all you had done for him and is now discarding you as 'insurgents'.
How foolish you are. You intended to use your foolish ruler, yet you were used by him instead.
I suppose this is the end result of defying the heavens.
The Shogun you placed your aspirations on,
as well as the Shogun you placed your hopes on,
no longer exist.
Now all that exists is a puppet to act as a proxy for the Heavens (Tendoushuu).
Your swords can no longer reach the heavens.
SFX: HIHIHIHIHI
Hattori: ...........
Shogun: With taking in the enemy (Hitotsubashi Group) palanquin, he's become your puppet, has he?

Page 5:
Shogun: Though it is dubious whether that broken thing can even serve as a puppet or not.
Nobu: Kill theeeem!!
Are you ignoring orders from your Barbarian Subduing Shogun?!!
Tendou: Do please calm yourself, Lord Nobunobu.
The crows will soon do away with the remaining insurgents.
And
there is no longer anyone left that can hinder you.
Not even
a former Shogun. ["former" in italics.]
Tendoushuu: Now, allow us to take custody over Lord Shigeshige.
You should be aware now that nothing you should be anxious about will occur.
Hattori: All the more reason not to hand him over.
Even without the seat of Shogun, the fact that Shigeshige is the biggest hindrance to Nobunobu hasn't changed.
Tendou: ......What, you will not hand him over?
I think you are aware already, but this is Lord Nobunobu's,
the new Shogun's orders.
Do you know what would happen if you were to disobey them......?

Page 6:
Tendou: Please do not force us to do such a thing
as treat you loyal retainers
that protected Lord Shigeshige's life
the same way as those insurgents (the Hitotsubashi Faction).
Shin: ......Guh!!
SFX: ZAH
Shin: Shogun-sama!

Page 7:
Tendou: Hmph.
Secure Lord Shigeshige.
Shige: Step back.
Guys: ?
Shogun: Did you not hear me?
How rude of you. Step back, I said.
Are you aware of who I am?
I am the great shogun that subdues barbarians,
Tokugawa Shigeshige.
Shin: Shogun-sama.
Tendou: .........
Lord Shigeshige, did you not hear me? You are no longer.
Shige: Did you not hear me?
I said that I am the Shogun.

Page 8:
Shige: There is no one that gives orders to the Shogun.
Step back from before me.
Hattori: Sh-Shogun, you...
Shige: Sorry, Zezou.
You risked your life to protect me,
and even without me being shogun,
you still
strove to protect me simply as your friend, Tokugawa Shigeshige.
That is why
I must continue to be Shogun.
So that the lives lost for me and for the country do not go to waste,
I cannot run from my battle, the position of Shogun.

Page 9:
Shige: I am Shogun Tokugawa Shigeshige.
The one that protects this country... this country where my friends live.
Nobu: IHIHIHI
So for that end you're going to endure your friends' deaths here, too?
Very well, Shigeshige! As you wish!
Strike down those retainers as insurgeeents!!
Shige: ...Lord Nobunobu,
Retainers are those that act according to their masters will without raising their voices.
The true comrades of a Shogun
are not as weak as you think they are.

Page 10:
Nobu: Your comrades no longer serve any purpose!
After being utterly exhausted with their battle against the insurgents, not a spark of life is left in them...
SFX: GOGOGO GOGOGOGO GOGO
Oboro: Disciples of Shouyou.
Your swords
can no longer reach the heavens.
No, those swords
were already broken long, long ago.
...Yet,
why, Shiroyasha?
SFX: HYUU HYUU

Page 11:
Oboro: Why do you hold your grasp
on that broken sword?
You cut down your master
and even did battle with your former friend.
Just what
are you still attempting to fight for?
Gin: .........
If it's an enemy you need... there's one right here.
We're no different now from how we were back then.
In order to become the samurai each of us holds in our heart,
each of us has been fighting
with ourselves.
This guy's samurai... the way he does things, I can't accept it.
So even if I have to cut him down, I'll stop him.

Page 12:
Gin: But the one who understand how he feels better than anyone else in this world
is me.
What we hated most in this world
is the same.
So you guys
aren't qualified to cut him down.
The one that'll both cut down and protect this guy
is me.

Page 13:
Gin: That's
the Samurai I decided on.
Obobo: As I thought... you really should have died back then.
Shouyou is probably lamenting it in the next world as well.
The disciples he gave his own life to protect
are so consumed with hatred for his sake that they are going to lose their lives.
Farewell, disciples of Shouyou.
Go return to your master and your friends.

The last face that eye saw.
Me
or him?

Taka: Even if one drops dead here,
one will definitely send you to hell.
Oboro: He's still alive?
The two of you
are fated to die here!!

Kamui: Too~~ bad.
Neither one of you's gonna die.
And that's because
I'm gonna kill the both of you.
Shinsuke, I really can't have you dying at a place like this.
You promised to fight me as soon as I pay back the debt I owe you, remember?
Kagura: I will not let anyone have Gin-chan.
That includes you, Kamui.
Kamui: Then try to
get out of here alive.
Prove to me
how strong you are.
