Insert: Tensions fly in this back alley!!
Title: 'Gintama'
Somebody: The one that was with Takasugi!
Kiheitai
Kijima
Ma*ko!!
T/N: The idea is the censored out letter is "n" so it becomes "manko" (vagina).
Mata: What the hell are you censoriiiiing?!!
It's Matako! Say it right, dangit!!
Handwritten: You're gonna mislead folks!!
Gin: Hey now, we can't be saying 'mata' in a Shounen magazine. Let's just censor it and go with Ma*ko.
SFX: DOOON
T/N: "Mata" can mean "crotch".

SFX: KARAN
Nobume: Holster your gun,
chi***
Mata: What'd you just say?! That sounded like a totally different obscenity!!
T/N: I'm gonna guess "chinpo" (penis).
Mata: Yer the one that outta be putting her shit away, Imai Nobume.
You Mimawarigumi were supposed ta be on our side.
Why're you guys with Shiroyasha and Katsura?!!

Page 3:
Zura: I see. So until you were betrayed by Nobunobu,
you were working to seize political control with the Hitotsubashi Faction.
Nobume: You formed an alliance solely with Sasaki Isaubro.
The Mimawarigumi was just being used by him.
But now Isaburou and the Mimawarigumi
are no longer here.
Mata: .........
Takeshi: It would seem the rumors were true.
Good grief.
We knew we were grasping at straws by coming here,
but it would seem we no longer have any allies anywhere.

Page 4:
Nobume: That is why I brought you here.
SFX: CHIN
Nobume: Even if we are not your allies,
the disciples of Shouyou are here.
Here, there are the ones that will do whatever you ask of them,
the Yorozuya Akiba Branch.
Gin: Hey... Don't tell me you
have a job request...?
Nobume: Please tell me.

Nobume: What happened to the one other
disciple of Shouyou?

Title: Lesson 553
The Kiheitai's Final Day
Author: Sorachi Hideaki

Page 6:
SFX: DODOOO
Matako: Betrayed by Nobunobu and the Harusame Senate,
we Kiheitai were separated from the organization and ended up a lone force wandering space.
But despite their dangerous position, the 7th Division led by Kamui-dono,
with the strength of Harusame's Lightening Spear still as strong as ever,
destroyed their pursuers one after another. Not only did they drive their attackers away, they went on the offensive against them.
With lightening speed and force, they successfully captured one of the organization's strongholds, Nanten Tower.

Page 7:
Mata: But that was in fact a trap setup by Harusame.
The thing we had fought so hard to obtain
was just a heap of scrap iron.
Along with Nanten Tower, half the armada was turned to space dust.
Kamui-dono and ourselves just managed to escape those jaws of death, but...

Page 8:
SFX: GOGOGOGO
Abuto: Geez.
Are they trying to hunt down ever last one of us rabbits (Yatou)?
SFX: DOH
Kamui: We're an endangered species, ya know!
If they'd just shown us a teensy bit of kindness we wouldn't have to punish them, too.
SFX: DODOON GOGOON
Kamui: No, they really know how to handle us.
Abuto, when rabbits get lonely they die.
I'd better send my thanks to the enemy for providing us with such a bustling playground.

Page 9:
SFX: DOON
SFX: WAH
Kamui: Cut through theeeem!!
SFX: PURURU
Takeshi: Abuto-dono!!
Attacking a flagship on your own? Are you mad?!!
Abuto: Hey, I'm not the one to be complaining to!
He told me he wanted to get a look at the enemy general's face!

Page 10:
Abuto: While the enemy's attention is focused on us, you guys take Takasugi and go.
If we live long enough to meet again, give that idiot captain of ours a lecture for me.
Takeshi: Abuto-dono, what are you...?
Abuto: I've got a bad feeling.
The Harusame I know wouldn't scrap one of their strongholds as a battle strategy.
They disregarded their own interests to try to crush us.
You can't beat us Yato unless you're ready to throw everything away.
Somebody that knew that,
somebody that knows how to kill Yato is working with Harusame.
Yeah, I thought so.
SFX: ZAH
Abuto: I knew somebody had joined hands with Harusame.
Kamui: .........

Page 11:
Kamui: There are only two people in all the universe
that can pull shit like this against Yato opponents.

Page 12:
Kamui: This idiot father and son.

Page 13:
Guys: It was Umibouzu-san.........?!!
Wh... Why...?!!
Takeshi: That is what we would like to know.
Why would the universe's most famous hunter take part in the factional dispute of a criminal syndicate?
But what I can say for sure is that that man and Harusame
made the Kiheitai and the 7th Division disappear into the darkness of space.
We do not know
Kamui-dono's whereabouts, either.

Page 14:
Takeshi:Nor do we know
Shinsuke-dono's.

Page 15:
Bansai: Takechi is preparing an evacuation ship.
Run, Matako.
I swear I shall bring Shinsuke.
So
survive.
SFX: ZAH

Page 16:
Bansai: Do not let
the Kiheitai end.
Matako: ...Shinsuke-sama is alive!
The Kiheitai ain't over with yet!
I'm darn sure he's out there waiting for us ta help him.
So... So!!
Gin: I see.
Then I guess I'd better go finish him off again.
Nobume-san, sorry, but that's all I can do for these guys.
Or are you asking me to go get revenge for a bunch of dead idiots that got their just desserts?
Shin: Gin-san!!
Nobume: ........
Unless Harusame is defeated, this country will not change.

Page 17:
Nobume: The space pirate group, Harusame, is connected with the Tendoushuu.
They are an enormous power strong enough shake a planet-wide country.
If Naraku is one,
then Harusmae is
Utsuro's other wing.
Nobume: If we break them off
then those crows that look down on humanity from above will be dragged to earth.
For that end, I need your,
the disciples of Shouyou's power.
The time to gather again has come...!!
