Guy: What is happening on Earth?
Insert: At the Liberation Army base...
Guy: Explain the current state of the war.
Title: Lesson 608
Jump Comes Out on Monday, Magazine and Sunday Come Out on Wednesday
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Guy: It's... The former... Bakufu... Army.... sir.
SFX: ZA ZA
Guy: They suddenly... appeared... at Edo Castle... And because of... the Former Bakufu Army's... resistance...
SFX: ZA ZA
Guy: Liberation Army's 1st Encampment has suffered... devastating... damage... sir.
T/N: The title refers to the 3 most popular shonen manga magazines. Shounen Jump, Shounen Magazine, and Shounen Sunday.

Page 2:
Guy: They've put up some kind of special smokescreen around Edo castle.
It blew up our armada's firearms, rendering them completely useless
and forcing us into a land war. But also...
SFX: DODOON
SFX: GOGOGOGOGOGO

Page 3:
Guy: Our ground troops that were already shorthanded have already been crushed by them.
They've also captured our weaponry and they are now adding them to their pursuit of us.
Their soldiers
are composed and powerful

Page 4:
Guy: swift and decisive,
and push forward unflinchingly
even against a huge army.
To the point where they look like a warrior race.

Page 5:
Guy: Are these
what they call Samurai...?
SFX: DOGAAN ZAZAZA
SFX: ZAAAA
Guy: I see.
Just as you said, the sacrifices for this war
won't just quietly allow themselves to die on the cross.
But the more all of you struggle,
The further the stakes in your hands will dig in. The more the flames at your feet will sway and flare.

Page 6:
SFX: DODOO
SFX: WAAAA
Hiji: That's...
the Oniwanabshuu?!
Kagura: Sacchan!!
Gin: Keh...
Looks like they finally decided to quit sneaking around right before the world gets destroyed.
They're on more of a flashy rampage than we are.
Sa: Playtime is over!! Let's show them the power of the Shinobi!
Let's goooooooooo!!
SFX: DODODODO

Page 7:
Sa: Gin-sa......BUBERA
Gin: What's that supposed to beeee?!!
Who just jumps out with a face like that?!! Your face looked scarier than the enemy's!
Sa: How could you...? We haven't seen each other in forever and you treat me like this?
Your punishment really is a cut above the rest! I'll be your pig bitch for my whole life long, master!
Gin: And it's the pervert fox I haven't heard from in forever! Did you forget how to guard?! The fact I got a body-blow on you like that makes me wanna puke!
Sa: But... I knew
you'd come back.
I've worked hard to protect Edo until you came home.
I knew if I could just hold out until you got back, we'd be okay, Gin-san.
GIn: .........I guess we really kept you waiting.
Sa: No, not at all! You came back so sturdy, after all... But my gosh, I don't know if my body will be able to take this.
Someone: That's not Gin-san! Gin-san isn't that much of a show off!

Page 8:
SFX: DOH
Hattori: I didn't think I'd get the chance
SFX: DODOOON
Hattori: to see that ridiculous back and forth again before the world was destroyed.
Gin: I didn't think your butt hole would get destroyed before the world was destroyed.
Hattori: AAAAAAHHH
SFX: DOS
Sa: KYAAAA! Gin-san's chastity!!
Gin: That's not Gin-san. That's Zen-san's chastity.
SFX: BUSHAAAA
Zen: Uu...
I wasn't so optimistic that I thought something'd change just because you came back.
But I can at least say that seeing your dumb face
got me to soften up a bit.
Gin: I'm the one who should be saying that.
Seeing you reminded me
SFX: DOGAA

Page 9:
Gin: that even if our world of tomorrow is destroyed,
we're still idiots that'll go running to buy Jump.
I dunno if the world will be destroyed or not,
I don't know if my hand will reach or not,
but that doesn't matter.
Because I was still the one running.
I almost got myself ended before the world ended.
But with you guys as a landmark,
I was able to make it back here again.

Page 10:
Gin: Thanks
for staying idiots while you waited for me.
SFX: WAAA
Okita: Well, that's not what I expected. He's saying that you're still an idiot Hijikata-san. Even though you slobbered all of those artificial cigarettes that're supposed to help you stop smoking for so long.
Hiji: Shut up! He doesn't mean me. And anyhow, I prefer magazine.
Zen: I think both Jump and Magazine might have to suspend publication soon at this rate.
Are you still gonna keep running?
Gin: Well, then we've just gotta save the world by Monday!!

Page 11:
SFX: DOON
Kon: Talking pretty big, ain'cha?!
You're gonna fix the world's end by the weekend, huh?!
Interestin'! How about we go for that?!!
Let's make that unfunny joke into a reality with our own hands,
and then we'll all
double over with laughter!!
Hey,
Mimawarigfumi Vice Chief-san,
I'm looking forward to seeing what your gloomy face looks like when that happens.
Nobume: I'll laugh
as much as you want.

Page 12:
Nobume: But that smile
won't be cheap.
SFX: GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
Guys: Wh-
What is that?!
That freakin' huge gun?!
The city may be protected by the black mist,
but something like that will not extinguish the flames of our Liberation Army.

Page 13:
Guy: The more you struggle,
the more our flames of revenge
will flare up your anger and sadness.
SFX: KOOOOO
Guy: Mobile Weapon Takemikazuchi.
SFX: OOOOOO
T/N: Takemikazuchi (Literally "Brave-Awful-Possessing" or "Thunder-God") is the god of thunder and the god of swords in Japanese mythology.
Guy: Fire.
SFX: DON

Page 14:
Shin: UWAaaa
Zen: Well, well, well.
This ain't good.
Looks like they're planning to keep firing
until they burn away all the Fire Mist in the sky.
Guys: Chiiiief! We've got trouble!
Kon: !!
It's not just from above!!
We've received intel that reinforcements are coming for the land units one after another...

Page 15:
Guy: No,
that's not all.
N... No way, that's...!!
The Dakini?!
T/N: Dakini = Weed-Fortune-Bhikkhuni. A slight warping of the Vajrayana Buddhism demon that feeds on human flesh.

Page 16:
Somebody: The Shinra!!
T/N: Shinra = The Dragon (of the Chinese Zodiac) Silk.
Somebody: The Yato!!

Page 17:
Kon: All three of the Great Warrior Tribes?!
No way... They've even got guys like them...?!!
Hiji: Hmph. So it's pretty much been just a skirmish up till now, huh?
Oki: Geez. Forget finishing by the weekend, I dunno if we'll last the day like this.
Gen: Finally, eh?
Shin: ?
Gengai-san!!
Gen: Looks like it's our time to shine.
If you feel like it,
we can just go all-out against them, Ginnoji.
How about we show you
the hidden strength of the earth?
Insert: To a further counterattack!!
Bottom: Gintama
