Umi: ----I'm not
letting anyone else kill him.
Insert: ☆The anime is airing with great fanfare every Wednesday at 6PM on Fuji TV!!
☆The newest, Jump Comics Volume 60 is now on sale with great fanfare!!
Utsuro: So by that, Umibouzu-dono,
do you mean to say that your son is still alive?
Umi: Don't play dumb.
I know you're well aware.
Insert: The Strongest VS the most Fiendish---!!

[Lots of stuff exploding there]

Page 3:
Umi: He wouldn't bit the big one from something like that.
The hunt
is still at the stage where the prey is nibbling at the bait.
But if any more unnecessary intrusions were to occur, I won't be able to predict the prey's moves.
So if you still intend to try to interrupt my hunt,
you all had better be come prepared
to become Umibouzu's prey, too.

Page 4:
Umi: Though
it seems the young man behind you has been prepared for that for quite some time.
Utsuro: Oboro, please step back.
Do you want the organization to be erased from the universe due to your rash thinking?
He is not my ally,
but he is not an enemy, either.
He is merely a hunter
who will nock his arrow unwaveringly even with his son right in front of him.

Title: Chapter 556
Worthless Thing
Insert: The Kiheitai heads to space---
Mata: What the heck do ya think yer doin'
Takechi-senpai?!
I don' care how badly we need help, we decided we ain't askin' that lot for it!
Kagura: Another helping.
Takechi: Yes, yes. There is no need to be in such a panic. No one is going to take it away from you. Chew it a bit more thoroughly. And be sure to eat the boiled vegetables.
SFX: MUGA MOGO
Mata: He hell're you talkin' about?! Who the hell are you feeding, Easter Island Head Mom?!!
And of all of 'em ya let this brat on the ship?! Control that lolita complex a yers, would ya?!!

Page 6:
Takechi: I am not a pedophile, I am a feminist.
I do not lay my hands on innocent young girls, but rather extend a helping hand to them.
Kata: That still just makes ya sound like a pedo, dude! Yer givin' me the creeps, Senpai!
How the hell is this an innocent young girl?!
Enough already, you!! WHat do you think yer doin', eatin' all that in the enemy's home?!!
You wouldn' happen ta be tryin' ta sneak in here ta exhaust all our supplies, would ya?!
SFX: ZUGOGO
Kagura: I do not care the least about you all. You will fall apart even if I do not do anything, yes?
But you want to make a sudden comeback, then bring me all you have got and bet on my stomach.
SFX: GEFUS
Kagu: If you leave it to me, you can be sure
I will destroy it all.
Harusame,
my idiot dad and my idiot brother.

Page 7:
Take: .........
That is not something to say without meaining it.
The reason you came here
was to prevent a fight between Umibouzu-dono and Kamui-dono, is it not?
That is why you came here alone.
As a daughter, as a little sister,
as family,
you want to protect them.
SFX: GEHO GOHO (Coughing)
Utsuro: It would appear you are fast approaching your limit.

Page 8:
Utsuro: Regardless of how much immortal blood you have obtained,
a mere human body will not be able to bear its burden for long.
The deaths your body has suffered
are undoubtedly carved into it.
Oboro: Nevertheless,
it is thanks to your blood in this body that has extended this life that perished long ago.
Until this body of mine rots away, I shall serve you.
That is the blood vow I made to you long ago.
Utsuro: .........
Even if that promise was made not with me, but with a different me?
Utsuro: ...........
Someone: Utsuro-sama... the enemy has still not died.
I believe we could consider the operation to search and destroy the Seventh Division was a success,
but we cannot confirm the deaths of Takasugi, Kamui and his men, or the top brass.

Page 9:
Somebody: During the operation, we confirmed the presence of a small ally ship acting suspiciously.
Also
units whose affiliation is unknown slipped into the battle.
They infiltrated the enemy ship and were seen behaving in a way that aroused suspicion.
But with astounding military might, they made their way through our encircling net and disappeared beyond the dust kicked up in the battle.
Most likely, one of them is a Yato with a long military service.
The leading unit was disguised as a Harusame unit, but there are reports that they were most likely earthlings.
Utsuro: ---In other words, due to the intervention of a third party,
Takasugi and his men were secretly rescued?

Page 10:
Utsuro: It is quite likely.
If that is the case, then someone was lurking here, in Harusame, that guided them.
And that most likely
is exactly the person you are imagining.
Bansai: This place...

Page 11:
Bansai: What happened to Shinsuke...?!!
What of the Kiheitai...?
WHere in the world am I?!!

Page 12:
Tatsu: Yo, you awake?
Bansai: Y... You're members of the Kiheitai!!
Tatsu: I gotta apologize.
I did everything I could, but these were the only guys I could save.
But you ain't gotta worry,
your general, Takasugi...

Page 13:
Tatsuma: Our friend...
is one person we're definitely gonna save.

Page 14:
Bansai: Sa...
Sakamoto Tatsuma!!
Impossible! Why has this man...?!!
Zura: Friend?
You are the only one that still calls Takasugi that, Sakamoto.
You should be thankful. Right there is a man that came from the far reaches of the galaxy to rescue you.
And you should lament,
because right here is a man that came from the far reaches of the galaxy to cut you down.

Page 15:
Bansai: !!
Katsura Kotarou!!
Saka: What's up, Zura? You saying you're still picking fights with Takasugi over some worthless thing?
Zura: It's not Zura, it's Katsura. And a money-hungry merchant like you would not understand.
It is for the samurai's bushido, your 'worthless thing', that each of us is fighting at the risk of our lives.
Saka: I see.
Then I wonder what worthless thing that devil-may-care bastard is fighting for.

Page 16:
Takechi: Do you know
why I let you on this ship?
Because if we take you as a hostage,
then we can use your comrades however we wish.
Mata: Takechi-senpai!!
You may have tried not to get your comrades mixed up in your family dispute,
but I am a staff officer of the Kiheitai. I must use any means I can, any fighting force that I can, in order to change the tide of this war.
Kagura: ........
Do not worry, yes?
Even if you had not done such a dumb thing,
and whether I had not acted so selfishly or not,
they
Bottom: Gintama

Kagura: would still have come.
Surely
in order to protect my family.
So I must act as well.
In order
to save my other family.
