Title: Lesson 568 Sky Ship
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Guys: The enemy's viruses couldn't move without their general.
They were just pawns.
But our soldiers can move on their own no matter how much of a moron their captain is being.
It's because they are people you couldn't call soldiers or pawns that we were able to survive.
Nobu: A fool captain and soldiers you couldn't call soldiers, huh?
But that man did not abandon them.
And neither did you all abandon him.
Do you understand?
Compared to having any sort of great ruler or any sort of loyal retainers,
how rare that is?

Page 5:
Nobu: Having stood at the peak of a country and having had hundreds of thousands of retainers,
I both abandoned my retainers and was abandoned by them, so I have no doubt in my mind.
Mutsu: .........
A ruler is like a sky ship.
Alone, it ain't even gonna move.
But with people on it, it can move and go to the place everyone wishes to go.
So the crew can't abandon the ship, and the ship's gotta protect the crew from the stormy seas.
Yer ship couldn't hold up against that weight.
So you made people inta ships and rode alone on top 'a them.
No matter how huge yer ship is, an empty ship with just one guy on it ain't gonna go anywhere.
Nobu: ..........
In that case,
where exactly is this broken down ship of yours heading for?
And the enemy's ships are hot on your trail.
What even is the place you wish to go?

Page 6:
Mutsu: If ya know that, ya won't have a hard time.
Being lost and searching,
it's the same for you on this ship right now, ain't it?
In a vast ocean with no landmarks, the only thing you've got to go on is the wake behind your boat.
So this broken down ship will pick you up, too.
Mistakes, glory, good, evil, dreams, deeds,
we bring on everything left in our wakes.
This ship is searching for a future
where we can still all laugh together.

Page 7:
Nobu: A sky ship.
No wonder it didn't sink.
To you,
everything at your back, even me,
isn't baggage,
SFX: DODOO
Nobu: it's a sail.
Text: Tatsuma [Cut off. This is from the previous chapter. I think we can just leave that out honestly.]
Saka: Maybe this
is for the best.

Page 8:
Saka: 'Cause this is
the only way I can fight.
Guys: Sakamoto-san!!
Please hold on, Sakamoto-san!
Saka: Don' panic!
The commander's gonna yell at you.
Guys: !!

Page 9:
Taka: You're the one I'm going to yell at.
You may be the Dragon of Katsurahama, but you got beaten badly back there.
What happened?
Guys: ............
The enemy's injured soldiers,
the ones that weren't able to make it off the battlefield... We were trying to carry them.
And then along with the injured soldiers...

Page 10:
Taka: ...It looks like you really do need a lecture.
Saka: Spare me, would ya? I just managed to survive, are you trying to finish me off?
Taka: As a samurai,
you're already dead.
Saka: I thought so.
It's gonna be inconvenient if I can't even use a sword to peel an apple anymore.
You were a disgrace to samurai everywhere to begin with.
What kind of samurai takes pity on his enemy on the battlefield and ends up losing his good hand over it?
That's a fitting end for someone as stupid as you.
Gin: He ain't dead.
A samurai's more than a guy that swings a sword around.
Cutting down enemies ain't the only part of a war.

Page 11:
Gin: Sakamoto Tatsuma's war
ain't some petty war you can clean up with a broken pole.
Taka: ......
Do you remember the enemy's face?
Saka: You guys...
Someone: Unfortunately...
we like petty wars.
SFX: ZAH
Gin: So you can fight your war,
and we'll fight our war.

Page 12:
Gin: It looks like
I drew a winner.
So, we finally meet.

Page 13:
Guy: Yes.
That's what you said back then, wasn't it?
This time
I'll be the one saying those words.
So, we finally meet,
samurai, Shiroyasha.
Insert: These fated two face off----!!
