Insert: Having accepted an order to assassinate Katsura, now appearing before Shinpachi is...
Title: 'Gintama'
Guys: Wait...
No way, is that...?
Matsudai: Meet my comrades at the pier and take the weapons they give you.
Katsura won't go down easy.
So I got some first-class
assassins.

Page 2:
Shin: Assassins...?
Could it be...?
Okita: Hey.
I'll leave you guys to inspecting the contents of those boxes.
These guys,
leave to me.
SFX: FUH

SFX: ZU GA GA GA GA GA
Okita: Ya won't know if the goods are good or bad until ya use 'em!
SFX: GASHAN
Okita: So, let's see!

Okita: Yorozuya,
Insert: The S is back and ready to rock!!
Title: Lesson 675
Final Fantasy Happens in Live Action, Too
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
Okita: what've you been up to
these past two years?!

Page 5:
Person: Hoh.
A one-eyed ronin...
Sorry, doesn't ring any bells.
But given how much of an impact that face has, I'm sure there's somebody around who remembers him.
SFX: GYAAAAAA
People: I think I... might've seen that face somewhere...
Just don't say it was me who told you...
Huh? So scary~~! Who is this person, anyways? Did he do something bad?
With that face he definitely did something. A murderer? Drugs? Etc.? It's etc., isn't it? That's such an etc. face!
Hey, you all! Have you seen this ronin?
He did etc.! Scary!
People: Na~~w! Never seen that face anywhere!

Page 6:
Guy: Oh, a ronin? Yeah I saw one a bit ago.
I think he went down that a-way.
SFX: GAYA GAYA (Chatter)
Guys: Hey you bastard! Whadda ya think yer doin', bumpin' into us and not even givin' us a greeting!!
All right! If it's a fight you want, I'm always ready ta go!!
I can't stand lookin' at that conceited look on yer face! You got a sword, right? Let's see ya use it!!
Or is that just a decoration, oh mighty samurai?!
Guy: Exactly. The only things this could cut is the world and this nation.
For an opponent like you, one of those sticks on the ground over there would suffice.
Guy: You bloody coward!! Is the sword between yer legs just a decoration, too?! I'll bet the ladies ain't too happy with it!!
SFX: GEHAHAHA
Guy: ............
Heh. Sorry to tell you, but I'm not carrying this sword in order to bring happiness to just one woman.

Page 7:
Takechi: Wielding one's sword in order to guide all women from young children to old ladies to happiness
is what a feminist does.
SFX: GASU GAH GOH GESHI DOSU GOSHI
Guy: ...H-Hey, bro,
that's... my opponent...
Hey uh... You're kinda over doin' it, ain'cha?
SFX: GAH GOH GAH GASU
SFX: JAKI
Guys: Uoh!!
Th-This one's packin' heat!
Gin: .........
Someone: I finally
got my hands on a clue.

Page 8:
Matako: Shiroyasha,
is Shinsuke-sama
alive?
What're you doin' out here?
Gin: .........
That's what I'd like to ask.
Matako-san, I thought you only had eyes for Takasugi... but in the live action movie you were doing a little something-something with Shinpachi, weren't you?
Why is that? Who mastered Matako's mata? Who made Masaki's masakari go full-mast? I'd like any details about that you could give me.
Handwritten: I'm selling this article to Bungei.
T/N: Masaki is the actor that played Shinpachi. "Mata" here is "crotch" and "masakari" is "broadaxe", and it's an innuendo.
Matako: ..........
What're you talkin' aboooout?!!
SFX: DOON DOON

Page 9:
Shin: O-
Okita-sa-
SFX: DOH
SFX: GOGAGA
Shin: UoH!!
SFX: HYAN
Shin: Hey, wai-
Time out! Time out!!

Page 10:
Okita: Heh.
You got a little better, haven't ya?!
Shin: No, I'm not!
SFX: GYAN GYAN GAAN
Shin: Okita-san, I thought you...
were ordered to commit seppuku!
SFX: DOO
Okiya: Yeah,
I died.
SFX: GAPAA
Oki: Both me and the Shinsengumi.
Apparently we're not needed in this peaceful era.
SFX: DODOON
Guys: Hey, hey, Okita-san!
If you're gonna fight, do it someplace else!

Page 11:
Shin: Saitou-san!! And all of you!!
Okita: But that peace turns out to be nothing but an illusion created by the new government.
SFX: ZAH
Okita: This country still has swarms of interlopers threatening the peace both inside it and out.
Even if the government keeps this clean image, they've still got dirty roles in order to keep it spic and span.
So, basically some stuff'd be pretty hard to do if we kept carrying the banner of police.
But through some intervention by Tottsan and his political strife with Katsura, we were able to disappear from center stage temporarily.
So now we can swing out swords unbound by the country or the law.
We've been reborn as a dark organization that inters all those that threaten this country.
We are the 'Great Nation of Japan Office of Homeland Security Environmental Affairs and Construction Coordination Enforcement...
Never mind that's too long. Let's just go with 'the Mafia'.
Shin: After that whole pretentious name you're just calling it the mafia?!
Okita: Just as you'd expect, Kondou-san and Hijikata-san aren't cut out for dirty work like this. So I ended up in charge.
But given how you Yorozuya are acquainted with Katsura, you should be perfect to use in our plan to assassinate him.
Shin: Uh, I think you might be the biggest threat to peace around here!! ["peace" in italics.]

Page 12:
Shin: Okita-san, please wait!!
I'll pull that idiot off the throne no matter what I have to do, so there's no reason for us to be fighting like-
Okita: So, you choose to be our enemy?!
SFX: DOU
Okita: Honestly I don't mind either way.
As long as it's entertaining, I'm fine with it.
Shin: ...He hasn't changed at all!!
But---
He's gotten
even stronger since then...
Kanna: Hey!
How long are you going to keep up this charade?
To be honest, as long as I can study Mommy's home planet, I do not mind who I walk around with.
Do you want me to lend a hand?

Page 13:
Shin: This is dangerous, Kanna-chan!! Get back!!
I can't let you get hurt!
Kanna: What is?
I do not see anything dangerous.
He has no bloodlust.
Because of that, his sword speed is quite slow and each attack is soft, yes?
What is
dangerous about that?
SFX: HYAGOOO
Okita: That was...
Kanna: real bloodlust, yes?
SFX: TON
Okita: ...Interesting.
I dunno if you're her kid or you split off from her or what,

Page 14:
Okita: but you sure as hell
are a copy of her!!
Shin: Kanna-chaaaan!!
Kanna: I heard that Earth
had lots of strong people besides Yato, but...
I am disappointed.
SFX: DOGYA
SFX: DODOO

Page 15:
Kanna: That should finish it, yes?
Shin: W-Woah...
Okita: I see.
So that's how it is, huh?
But
even if you can kill Katsura with this level of power,
what about the other?
Kanna: The other?
Okita: Even if you all gathering here
is a coincidence,
SFX: GAKIIIN

Page 16:
Mata: Then what about Shinsuke-sama?
Gin: ........
He ain't dead.
Though... I don't know if you could call that living honestly. ["that" in italic]
Mata: ...I don't care... what he's doin'.
As long as I know he's alive... I don't care in what form.
Takechi: ...Ever since he disappeared two years ago, we have not stopped looking for him.
Knowing him, we were sure he survived. And we thought we might be able to find him here where Shouka Sonjuku once stood.
Gin: ...So, what're you gonna do if you find him?
Ya gonna reform the Kiheitai and do s'more evil?
Takechi: Not reform... The Kiheitai was never dissolved.
We would only aid him in what he is trying to accomplish.
Gin: Give it up.
...That guy is probably
acting in nobody's interest but his own now.

Page 17:
Guys: It might not mean anything to anyone else.
It might have no great cause or principal he's fighting for.
If you set foot there,
he might be compelled to stop.
Guys: !
Gin: .........
The reason he went off on his own... was probably something like that.
Otherwise,
he'd never have... left you behind at all.
Mata: ........!!
Shiroyasha, you don't mean...
Gin: If you don't care about that,
if you wanna stop him,
go ahead, I won't stop you.
...Maybe
that's really the right choice.

Page 18:
Gin: See ya!
Mata: Shiroya-
!!
SFX: GAH GOH
SFX: DO DOO
Bottom: Gintama

Guy: H-Hii!!!
Gin: Hey, old man.

SFX: JARI
Guy: H-HEIIIH
SFX: DOON
Mata: Just...

Insert: Gintoki holds the key...?!
