Title: 'Gintama'
Insert: The virus eats its way into the machines...!
Guys: Our communication link with Earth has been completely severed.
The welfare of the units currently engaged in battle with the former Bakufu Army is unknown.
We lost communications from reconnaissance units not long ago as well.
Furthermore, we are seeing strange disturbances in the ships on standby in our fleet headquarters.
We are currently investigating the cause, but...
There's a high probability that the enemy possesses something akin to a powerful jamming weapon...
It's possible the side effects from it may have gone outside their atmosphere and reached all the way here.
Regardless, as it stands, dropping soldiers onto this planet
would be dangerous.

Enshou: ......What is happening
on that planet...?
Saka: It's too bad.
I was plannin' on gettin' the shogun a box seat to see the fireworks show,
but now it looks like we're gettin' rained out.
I'm so tired of standin' up ta watch.
Would ya bring us back ta where our comrades are in prison?
En: Wait.
Nobu: It's fine.
I know what will happen even if I don't watch.
I believe I told you.

Nobu: We earthlings will not lose.
Insert: Showing them their hidden strength...!!
Title: Lesson 611
There's Nothing as Depressing as a Bossy Person that Likes Festivals
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Someone: ......Th-
The enemy machines...!!
Woah!! All of the Liberation Army battleships fell!!
SFX: WAH

Page 4:
Guys: You machines really did it!!
I dunno what that old man did, but I've gotta hand it to the best machine inventor in all of Edo!!
Tae: ...Tama-san.
Cath: Otose-san... You don't think they're...!!
Gen: They'll be back.
I'm sure of it.

Page 5:
Gen: ...........
You were in a fight against all the machines of the universe.
So for now
it's okay to rest for a bit.
But I swear that someday
I'll work hard to repair ya.
I swear.
I swear I will.

Page 6:
Gen: So as fer the rest,
it's up ta you humans.
This world you guys gave us a chance to save,
this place you machines call home,

Page 7:
Guys: we will protect it.

Page 8:
SFX: WAAAA
Guys: Even all their heavy weaponry that have machines inside were made powerless!!
They really did it!! That old man and the others actually saved half the world!!
So now the guys looking down on us have been dragged down to our arena?!!
Yama: Though we can't use a lot of our weapons anymore, either.
Sacchan: Tama-san...
Hattori: A~~h, that's not good.
Even if we've finally resolved ourselves, I'd prefer ya not embrace any weird expectations.
Do ya think that's the only thing they had the advantage over us with?

Page 9:
Hattori: They've got numbers.
Guys: Get in formation, move iiiit!!
If you can't use guns, pick up axes!!
If your axes break, swing our fists!!
If your fists break...
SFX: GOH

Page 10:
Guy: You've got us Dakini!!
The war is only just beginning!!
SFX: OOO
Daki: These humans have some interesting tricks up their sleeves.
Ever since the main difference-maker in war became who has the better weapons, it's gotten real boring.
Thanks to you all, we get to go back to the good old days of war!
Or did ya really think that if you took our weapons and forced it into hand-to-hand combat, you'd have a chance to win? ...We've still got plenty of weapons here.
We are the Dakini!! THe warriors feared as the 'Demolishing Tanks'!!
Guy: Sheesh.
Ougai acts like it's a good thing we've been cut off from the headquarters and now he's acting like a general.
Your people are relics from when war was still a festival. You're moss-covered ancient weapons. ["ancient weapons" in italics.]

Page 11:
Guy: What do you think, Soutatsu-sama?
Now that communications have been cut, it will be difficult to regroup and move that massive army.
Let's have them carry that heavy burden.
At best, they'll just put on a flashy festival that'll draw the enemy together for us.
While their legs are being tied down by the enemy and their own men, we'll take finish the job off.
I'm not interested in honor.
We Shinra will be taking the reward money.
Yato: The sun has started to go down.
Boss...
Now is the time of us Yato.

Page 12:
Daki: We're not the only ones that lost use of our weapons.
The earthlings are the same way.
Not only that, we have far and away the greater numbers!!
Let's crush our enemy with our overwhelming advantage in resources!!
We'll destroy that huge cannon, regain contact with the rear,
and exterminate those monkeys from this planet!!
We'll cut open a path!!
Forwaaaaard!!
Kagura: No way, are all of them...
planning to come here to Kabuki-chou?!
Oh no...!!
If a huge army like that advances on us...!!
Gin: They're aware of that.
Guys: !

Page 13:
Hiji: If your enemy is cut off from its headquarters and has established a path of retreat, it's easy to predict how they'll move next.
That old man knew that, so he made Kabuki-chou bait.
Hattori: In a war, the most important thing is to read your opponent's moves.
What counter-strategies and traps you come up with then, especially when you're done in numbers, is the key to war.
Kondou: Up till this point, the movements of the Liberation Army have been totally unpredictable. They've been targeting all of Edo and just destroying things indiscriminately.
But as they are now,
it's clear where they'll move, what their goal is, and what they have in-hand.
Now we might be able to pull off a miracle.
Gin: The town in Edo that's full of hooligans that've caused more problems than any other
gave Edo its last hope.

Tae: Now then,
how long can we hold out?
This is humanity's last fortress.

Page 16:
Guys: By becoming the enemy's target,
everyone on the outside
is free to attack the enemy in the rear.
So for that end,
until our comrades in the rest of Edo get here,
we have to hold out at any cost.
Cath: Everyone across the rest of Edo....? But without any way to contact them
there is no one that will come here knowing what we are trying to do, right?
Tae: They'll come.
Even without having a way to contact them, they know.

Page 17:
Tae: Everyone
loves this town, after all.
Insert: Running at full speed-----!!
