Kouka: I told you, didn't I?
I'm part of a clan that dies with the planet.
Insert: Long ago, that husband and wife were----
Title: 'Gintama'
Kouka: I've always lived alone.
I need to live alone.
So why did you
make me remember these emotions?
Umi: Sorry, Kouka.
But you and I are the same.
No matter how busy a planet I'm on,
no matter how surrounded by people I am,

Page 2:
Umi: without you,
I'm lonely.
I
don't want to let you die alone.
So if you're gonna stay here,
I'll stay here, too.
And if there's anywhere you want to go,
I'll go wherever that is.
So...

Page 4
Umi: Die with me, Kouka.
Kouka: I'm... a traitor to my family.
Even you are going to abandon me?
That's what this planet is saying.
Umi: ..........
I see.
SFX: DODOON

Page 5:
SFX: OOOOOOO
Umi: If you ask me,
I'd say they're paying their respects.
They're saying thanks for everything.

Title: Lesson 580 Wilted Flower
Author: Sorachi Hideaki

Page 6:
Mutsu: I see.
In the legends, Umibouzu
is a hero that released the Yato's home planet from the monstrous 'Master of Kouan'.
...But then in reality
he sweet talked the 'Master of Kouan' and brought her away from a dying planet.
He's really just a skirt chaser.
Umi: To hell with the legends.
I, Umibouzu-sama, have met the strongest creature in the universe and it's one you can find just about anywhere.
A 'wife'.
I am no exception to all of the pitiful males in the universe
in that I've gotten my ass whipped by one.

Page 7:
Mutsu: Quite a masterpiece, that is.
The strongest man in the universe becomes the weakest when he's at home.
Umi: Don't laugh. The home is another universe.
Mutsu: But it's a nice legend.
Compared to a legend where a lone monster dies alone,
a legend where it gains a mate,
gains children,
and forms a family,
a common story like that is much better in my book.
Umi: ..........
You've got that right.
Do you know how priceless
constructing a common happiness like that is compared to constructing some legend of being the strongest?

Page 8:
Umi: Back then,
I didn't understand a thing.
Kouka: I can't live anywhere but here.
That is why I'm here.
I told you, didn't I?
I'm part of a clan that dies with the planet.
Umi: Including what
those words she said meant.

Page 9:
Umi: I'm no hero.
And definitely no father.
I'm a murderer.
Kamui: That man
killed our mother.

Page 10:
Guys: Uu.
Kamui: Don't talk down to me again.
You won't get off so easy next time.
Guys: We ain't gonna stop saying it!!
You and the rest of your diseased family should get out of this...
Umi: KURAAAAA! What the hell are you guys doing?!!!
Guys: Aw maaan! It's Umibouzu! Ruuuun!!
SFX: DOH
Kamui: Dad!

Page 11:
Umi: Do not pick on the weak!
SFX: GOH
Kamui: Owww! Where the hell were you looking?
It was 8 against 1. How can you see that and thing anything but I'm the one being picked on?
Umi: Like 1 elephant VS 8 ants? Don't use the Yato's power recklessly.
Kamui: They're the ones that started it.
And you're always telling me to get stronger, aren't you?
Umi: I said I should get strong enough to protect Mom and Kagura.
What sort of brother lets his cute little sister get caught up in a fight? Right, Kagura-chan?
I was wrong, there were two elephants!
SFX: GOH DA~
Kamui: But they said that mom is a virus that spreads disease.
And they don't even know a thing about her!
No... Maybe I'm the one that doesn't know anything.
Dad, what is the illness mom has exactly? Will she really get better?

Page 12:
Kamui: There's nothing I can do for mom.
And there's nothing I can do to help you out, Dad.
Umi: Hey,
you're doing just fine as you are. Do you know how much of a help you are just being by her side?
Just leave Mom's illness to be. I promise I'll find a way to cure her.
So please, don't do anything reckless that'll make your mom worry.
Kamui: I felt like I was being treated like a child.
It felt like the reason Mom wasn't recovering from her illness and the reason that man never came back
was because I wasn't strong enough.
Umi: Get stronger.
Kamui: So I decided to become stronger.

Page 13:
Kamui: What would that man do?
That's what I constantly had on my mind.
To me, becoming stronger
meant becoming that man.
Kouka: Kamui, did you get into another fight?
Kami: N-No!
Kou: You sure are getting to be like your father... You're terrible at lying.
Now you just need to go bald.
Handwritten: It's a popular look these days, apparently.
Kamui: Like hell!
Kou: Come here.
Kamui: N-No thanks.
Kou: Oh, now that's not similar to him. That baldy always loves to be coddled whenever he has the chance.
Kamui: ..........
Kagu: That looks fun! Kagura wants to do it, too~~!
Kou: Today is Big Brother's turn.

Page 14:
Kou: Honestly, you resemble him in all the most idiotic ways.
I'm sorry.
I made you carry such heavy burdens on such a small back.
But please, don't force yourself anymore.
It's okay for you to live the way you want.
I've been prepared for this ever since I left that planet.
But the reason I stayed with your father anyhow
was because I wanted to be by his side.
And because I wanted to be by the side of a family I would give birth to.
So Kamui, you both can stay the way you are.
Kamui: I understood what being strong was even less.
Guys: Who are those guys wearing all black?
That's Harusame. It looks like they came here to do some business.
Goddamn, look how stuck up those guys are.

Page 15:
Guys: When I get pissed off
I like to hit the old punching bag.
Kamui: Man, you guys really don't give up.
Would you just lay off already?
I...
Umi: Don't be reckless.
Kouka: It's okay for you to live the way you want.
Kamui: am not gonna take this...
SFX: ZAH
Kamui: Kagura!
Kagu: Do not bully Kamui!
You promised Mommy, right, Kamui?
You said you would not make her worry anymore!
You promised you would
always be with her, right?
Guy: Shut up, brat!
SFX: DOH
Kamui: KAGURAAA!!
SFX: GASHAAN
Guy: You think that's enough for us to call it even?
We're gonna play with you and your little sister for a good long time.

Page 16:
SFX: DOSASA
Abuto: Geez.
They really don't teach the juvenile delinquents here anything.
You either pawn the enemy's little sister off for money or you use her as a hostage. There, I taught you something.
Little rabbit,
if you don't wanna end up a villain, you should really learn to take care of your sister.
Guys: Hey, Abuto, what're you doing?
Abu: Nothing. I was gonna take a dump in the ally but there was already shit all over the place there.

Page 17:
Umi: I thought I told you to quit those absurd fights of yours.
If you wield your power recklessly, your power will be your undoing.
Kamui, you're mistaken about what strength is.
..........
Why aren't you saying anything back?
Kamu: ..........
I don't know.
What is strength exactly?
Is it to keep quiet and get hit so other people don't get hurt?
Is it to hurt other people to protect you and your family?
Or
is it to not even turn to face your family that's saying they want to be by your side
and going off to fight on your own?
I...
don't...... know anymore.

Page 18:
Umi: I don't
know, either.
Kouka: But you're still going, then?
SFX: ZAH
Umi: Yes,
Kouka.
If you asked to risk your life
to stay by our side,
then even if I had to leave your side,
I will keep you alive.
Even if I'm not a father anymore,
I will protect my family.

Page 19:
Umi: That is the karma I have to take up
for causing the lone flower on that planet to wilt.
Kamui: That flower was our mother.
Mom was a mutant that was born under the effects of the Altana.
As long as she was eating that planet's Altana, she was immortal.
But without that planet's Altana, she couldn't stay alive.
That man tore that flower out of that planet
and killed it.
Insert: At some point, those pure feelings became an enormous power---
