Inside Back Cover: Top: Gindaichi Kyousukebe Paragraph: Born October 10th. Height, 177 centimeters. Weight, 65 kilograms. A linguist and sexual entertainment industry scholar. Cosplayed by Sakata Gintoki. In order to successfully stitch together this great encyclopedia of "Gintama", he undertook the task of supervising the production as a leading authority on the subject. However, I've heard that for the production of this book, he only lent us his name and he wasn't really involved at all in the actual editing process, but whether that is true or not is unknown. There are also rumors that he shamelessly billed us for an exorbitant fee, for which he is currently in litigation with Shueisha's legal department. 'We just want you for the cover, I don't think it's asking too much.' In response to that order, he put on a suit, something he's very unused to, donned some linguist-looking round glasses, got into a good old-style sepia mood, sparing no expense to get just the right atmosphere. T/N: This is a parody of the real-life linguist, Kindaichi Kyousuke.
Page 1: Top Big: Sorachi Hideaki's apology emails revealed in full!! Black text: A report of the truth regarding the final lesson manuscript and its delay Starburst: Exclusive scoop Black Box Right: Sorachi Hideaki. Why did this infamous mangaka blow his deadlines and break his promises? The true reason is beyond imagining. Now, two editors from the group of the historical editors that shouldn't even have been able to come in the first place and waited for the final manuscript lay bare in what happened on the 'day Gintama ended'!! First Screenshot: Good job. Sorachi-san June 29th 2018 1:09 PM Sorry about yesterday. I went and tied up someone I don't know that well for 13 hours. Even a rotten bastard like me felt some guilt after that, so I'll try to hurry up the manuscript. In line with that, could we start our meetings next week? I have additional work piling up, so I'd like to keep going with work, finish it up early, and then send in the manuscript on Monday. Is that okay? Also I totally forgot Below box: Sent to Mr. I after picking up the first manuscript. An email for the ages. Second Screenshot: Sorry Sorachi-san May 8th 2019 12:28 AM I'm not done. I've got something like 30 to go. From what I'm seeing online, it looks like they pushed the volume release date to July, huh? lol. Sorry. Is it okay if I keep going to the end of May? Caption: The '30' is believed to be the number of name (storyboard) pages. The final chapter was a total of 59 pages. Article: Everyone believed that day would never come. But with every beginning, there must be an end. Even the legendary endless manga "Kochikami" had ended with a "Sounds good!". But still, when it comes to Gintama, the reason was different than with those legends. 'I'm not doing fake endings. That's the anime, they were doing that,' Mr. Sorachi had said. The 9th editor, Mr. I recounted this deception with a bitter laugh. 'Even a rotten bastard like me...' [Big/bold] 'Originally, about 3 years ago when the previous editor was in place, there was already a procedure set up for the end of Gintama's serialization shared in the editorial department,' Mr. I recounted. Sorachi and his then-editor Mr. M were told by the editorial department to 'wrap the story up soon.' It was in June of 2018 when the change of editors occurred. When Mr. I took over, there were 10 chapters left in the weekly serialization and extra chapters in addition to that. 'First he made me wait 13 hours for the manuscript, and he'd even written things like "A rotten bastard like me..." in his emails, so it looked like he was self-aware and trying to change, and I believed it. But then for the next manuscript I waited 14 hours. He's immediately set a new personal best. I guess a bastard's a bastard no matter how he tries to fight it. That's when I learned not to trust Sorachi Bastard Hideaki. Even this schedule for the end of the series is suspect, I thought. Like right now, he's drawing an episode about a gorilla wedding. 'I'm sorry.' [Big/bold] 'That Sorachi Bastard Gorilla Hideaki didn't have single a nanoscopic-sized indication he was ending it,' Mr. I told us. He has supplied us with with his emails with Mr. Sorachi in order to convey the truth of this affair of the final chapter delay to future generations of editors. To begin with, one cannot hope but notice that nearly all of the email subject lines were 'I'm sorry'. It's hard to believe these were written by the same person who wrote the volume extra corner that described his negative feelings over having 'RE: I'm sorry' in every email subject line. If one looks closely, while the titles say 'I'm sorry', the main text will always also contain 'I'm sorries'. When you start apologizing all the time, it really loses the sincerity. The truth has come to light that the issue regarding the time of the volume release was a frequent topic in the body of the emails. It is well known that the volume's release date was moved from July to August, but in Mr. Sorachi's email he mentions a 'delay to July'. 'The truth is, there was already a delay from June to July. This was before the release date was first publicly announced, so it's not something known to the general populace. But it had to be delayed even further after that. But both times, we'd had it planned to not tell Sorachi-san and just let him draw, but both times he found out,' Mr. I explained to us.
Page 2: First Screenshot: Sorry Sorachi-san May 31st 3:03 PM Did I cause the release date of the volume to get postponed again? I'm seeing some things about that online. Caption: He saw through it both times when the editors tried to hide the delay from him with his clever internet searching. Second Screenshot (Middle Right): Sorry Sorachi-san June 5th 2019 6:11 AM This is pretty embarrassing after how enthusiastic I was before, but getting the manuscript done on the 6th is looking difficult. There's still a lot left. I'm just gonna keep going and draw when the staff comes in, so do you think there's any way you could give me until Monday? I'm pretty sure I can do it this time. I'm very sorry about this. Caption: I'm not sure how many delays we're at at this point. As one might expect, he's gotten embarrassed about it. Third Screenshot (Top Left): Sorry Sorachi-san June 13th 2019 12:31 PM I wasn't able to finish yet. Just a little more. Around 7 or 8 o'clock should be good. Caption: So, no matter how you look at it, the text here makes it looks like he's about done. And the result...? Fourth Screenshot (Middle Left): Sorry Sorachi-san June 13th 2019 10:42 PM Please give me just one more hour. I can probably make that. Caption: The message sent to the editors when they'd gone out for a drink. And of course, it took 4 hours after this. Article: After this, in the emails he provided to us, it mostly recounts the back and forth regarding the final chapter. From these we can get a good look at Mr. Sorachi as he felt under pressure. About 1 month after the deadline that Mr. I had set, he received an email from Sorachi saying 'Did I cause the release date of the volume to get postponed again?' Talking about the delay of the volume to August. The 'Oh, did I go and do it again?' declared like the strongest protagonist from a wish-fulfillment novel. Though realizing the actual seriousness of the situation, Mr. Sorachi finally gave a concrete manuscript finish date to to Mr. I. Those words were a relief to Mr. I, but right at this point, due to an internal change, the company had decided n a change in editors. His successor was the 7th editor Gintama had had, Mr. N. Mr. I and Mr. N went to Mr. Sorachi's studio at an appointed time and day to discuss picking up manuscripts and inform him of the hand-over. But the day before, Mr. Sorachi sent an email saying 'I think it's going to take a bit longer after all.' 'That's Sorachi-san's never-compromising attitude,' muttered Mr. I looking into the distance with a no emotion in his eyes. It was like this person's heart was dead. 'No, I-san's eyes never have emotion in them. He's a wicked rotten bastard, you see,' said Mr. N as if reading my mind. 'Well, it depends on who I'm talking to (laughs).' [Big Bold] 'So I went to Sorachi-san's place with I-san. And when we finally met, Sorachi-san was pretty surprised. All of a sudden, one of his previous editors was there and his editor was changing,' Mr. N tells us. Describing words that came out of Mr. Sorachi's mouth that made chills run down his spine. 'Well, I know both of your are capable of telling the company that the manuscript is going to be late, and you can just blame the other one for it (laughs).' It was a bastard line that surpassed all bastard-dom. And as if on cue, all they saw on Mr. Sorachi's desk were manuscripts with only the under-sketches done. 'That was when we'd decided to do the delay the last chapter going out on the application and to publish a message of apology,' Mr. N told us. And then 3 days later, this time knowing in his heart it would be the last time, he headed to Mr. Sorachi's studio. I'm writing this article some days later, but this day would come be 'Gintama's Final Day'. Mr. Sorachi had specified it would be 3 days later in the afternoon, and Mr. N arrived at Mr. Sorachi's studio at 11 AM. The first thing out of Mr. Sorachi's mouth was the rather odd logic of 'Aren't you a little early?! When I said afternoon, I was imagining more like 5PM.' A logic that exists only in the world of Mr. Sorachi, I suppose. Still, when he looked at the manuscripts, they were mostly all filled in at that point. It would finally be finished. Mr. N told him he planned to return at 7PM, and contacted all of the series' previous editors. With recent long-running Jump manga, it had become a custom for all of the series editors from across its history would come to pick up the final chapter manuscript and offer flowers to the author. If he'd finished the manuscript on that day at 11AM as originally planned, then the editors wouldn't have been able to make it due to their work schedules. And Mr. Sorachi had said 'Uh, honestly I think I'd be too embarrassed if all the editors came. You don't need to do that,' Mr. I told us. But ironically, due to the delays he himself caused, it became possible. One by one, the editors gathered at the train station coffee shop. In order to convey that they were sick of waiting, they'd bought dry flowers to give to Mr. Sorachi. By the way, the other candidate was yellow carnations. In the Western traditional language of flower, that meant 'I'm disappointed in you.' 'Around 7 or 8 o'clock should be good.' like clockwork, they received the email asking for a delay. Once that time came, first editor, Mr. O, led the pack of Gintama editors to Mr. Sorachi's studio. Finally, the finale to these 15 years of history, this historical, emotional moment would---- 'I wasn't trying to lie.' [Big/bold] ...did not come. In response to what should have been an emotional moment, the Psycho Gorilla yelled 'Huh?! You seriously all came?! I'm not done yet! Go have a drink somewhere, please!' These middle-aged men that had squeezed into the studio just stood there. 'Ya know, when Kishimoto-sensei finished his series, he ended it right when he said he would and we all went out to drink afterwards!' shouted the first editor, Mr. O. 'What? I can't do things like Kishimoto-sensei can! I think that's pretty obvious!' retorted Mr. Sorachi. It was a back-and-forth that hadn't changed in 15 years. The only thing that had changes was the age of the characters was now a lot older. Though maybe in their hearts, they were still kids. They still had those straightforward eyes. 'I wasn't trying to lie. When I say I can do something, I think in that moment that I can.' When Mr. Sorachi said that, his eyes really were straightforward. So then the editors went out for a drink on their own, and then a few hours later when they came back, Mr. Sorachi said this to them with his straightforward eyes: 'Just 2 more hours.'

Small text: On a day in July, to show appreciation (?) for Sorachi Hideaki after having successfully brought his series "Gintama" to its conclusion, we called the 8 editors from over the course of its serialization for a round table discussion. It took place at the Weekly Jump Editorial Department, in a great person's room. The current time is already 10PM. Around this swarm of booze and delivery pizza are a bunch of age 30-40 old dudes. Sorachi is a given, but even the other editors had a difficult time getting thee due to their status and the schedules associated with them. Or so it seemed anyhow. Honestly they all just pretend to be bust and in times like they always just says 'When is it? I'll be there for sure!' and they all show up with bells on. Maybe because he's been freed from the burden of manuscripts, but even Sorachi seems to be in a good mood. 'Okay, how about a toast?!' he said, with the super-high-class wine brought by Editor-in-Chief Nakano. Honda had looked up the price online and was shocked at the price. After a hard-fought battle, Manabe finally got the cork out, but because his hands were shaking from the struggle, he didn't do the best job pouring it into the wine glass and sure enough, spilled it. '...That was probably around a ** yen spill.' someone said as they stared at the wine stain on the great person's desk. And so began an over six-hour long hellish discussion... Big Text: What's everyone's feelings now that "Gintama" has reached the final chapter?! Interview: Nakasaki: How've you been feeling lately? Sorachi: Not much different, but probably feeling a bit more healthy. Isaka: 77 volumes in all... Now that I think about it, that's even more volumes than "Sangokushi" isn't it? Sorachi: The one Yokoyama Mitsuteru-sensei did? ... Oh yeah, I guess it is. Naitou: Ohnishi-san and Mitsuo-san aren't here yet, but I guess we can get started. Sorachi: Is it really okay that we're drinking at work? Naitou: Yeah 'course it's okay. We're celebrating. Saitou: So, Sorachi-san. Did you do anything any a present to yourself? Like get some expensive champagne or eat some sushi or anything? Like at 'Jirou's'? Sorachi: Those all sound like something sorta cheap that somebody who became rich all of a sudden would do. It's a very happy vision of me you've got, but I don't think it really fits me. I think a more fitting image is me still living in a house made of cardboard boxes. Honda: So like, an image of someone who has money, but it doesn't make them happy. Isaka: But we were talking about your royalties from Remix before (*Jump Remix is cheap edition reissue of volumes sold in convenience stores and such) and I checked up on a bunch of details. Sorachi: And now I'm gonna make another killing on a 'CR Gintama' pachinko machine! Naitou: Uh, no there's no plans for a pachinko machine. Honda: Definitely feels like there could be one though. Saitou: Well the games didn't really take off, so maybe that'd work. Manabe: Hey, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?! That "Gintama Ranbu" whatever game did great! Sorachi: Ok but before any of that, am I not just gonna be kicked out of Jump forever? Passing By Editor-in-Chief Nakano: Oh hey, job well done!... Don't worry, we're not kicking you out of Weekly Jump! We'll be happy to have you back any time! Saitou: But I'm not so sure it's possible for you to have three complete storyboards ready for the serialization meeting. Honda: How can you be so negative?! Naitou: Well, at any rate, how about we start by talking about the final chapter? ...There isn't anyone here that hasn't read it, right? Honda: Of course there isn't! Sorachi: That's true, right? Isaka: Well we all went to pick up the manuscript, so of course we all read it. Saitou: But it was a situation where it got passed in bits at a time with us counting the pages at the end to make sure we had them all. It wasn't exactly a 'Hey can I read that?' kinda mood. Naitou: Ok, well, what did everyone think of the final chapter? Sorachi: It's going in not the most pleasant direction all of a sudden... I'm not sure I want to hear people giving their impressions right in front of me... Saitou: Well, for you, Sorachi-san, how was it? Did you think it was the best ending you could've written? Sorachi: I'm not sure, but... I guess I did what I could. Nakasaki: Is it okay to take that baby that appears at the end as Takasugi reborn? Sorachi: Please don't ask about the details. Everyone: (Laughs). Sorachi: Once you've read the manga, that's it! That's what I've put out. If you want every little thing explained, then it's just awkward! Isaka: The fans seem to really wanna know the answer so they can feel at ease. Nakasaki: But I wonder if presenting something as someone being 'saved' is a kindness to the fans. Sorachi: To be honest, I thought maybe it gave off more of an image of 'saving' the Kiheitai, rather than whether it was Takasugi... man things got serious fast. Nakasaki: Yeah we turned the topic to Takasugi, someone someone it's really hard to make jokes about. But I think leaving the interpretation to the readers is a good directorial choice. Personally I'm not a big fan of reincarnation and things like that, so I like the idea that it's a different person more. Sorachi: Like if Matako raised him, and he grows into just some old dude nobody'd ever met (laughs). Isaka: Like 'Who the hell are you?!' (laughs). Honda: Up to this point, you drew a lot of final-chapter-like stories, right? Like the 'Farewell Shinsengumi' arc. But when I read the actual final chapter, it gave me the most 'There're more to come' feeling than any of them. Like even with the series over, it feels like the world of "Gintama" is still going and Gin-san is still living there. I really liked that. Sorachi: It's in the comment at the end of the fanbook, too, but I purposefully tried not to give a 'feeling like it's ending'. Nakasaki: Like so "Gintama 2" can start any time, right?! Sorachi: I felt like giving "Gintama" a lonely final scene didn't suit it. Manabe: Kinda like the end of "Laputa". You didn't want the end to feel like an end?
Page 4: Sorachi: Like if it weren't the real final chapter, then I'd be fine with doing that any time. But if I'm talking about my own tastes, I kind of prefer the lonely 'being left behind' kind of final chapters. But I figured that wasn't the thing to do for Gintama. Saitou: Are there final chapters in any other manga you really liked? Sorachi: I actually prefer the part just a little bit before the end, rather than the final chapters themselves. They just always give you that lonely feeling. But I guess in "Slam Dunk" when Sakuragi and Rukawa high-fived each other was one I really liked. But I wanted to see a match with Hiroshi, too. Saitou: Oh, Fujimaki (Tadatoshi, auhtor of Kuroko no Basuke)-sensei asked about Hiroshi in a conversation with Inoue (Nobuyuki, author of Slam Dunk)-sensei and he said 'I wanted to draw it in a way that conveyed that there were lots of good players at nationals,' apparently. Sorachi: Speaking of which, Fujimaki-san is incredible. I'll listen to what that guy has to say any day of the week. Saitou: Sorachi-san, you've always been the type of person that can read a room and work a room. But whenever anyone asks for the character of 'Sorachi Hideaki', there's always an 'We've got to do something unprecedented!' aspect. Sorachi: Well I guess because I feel some sense of responsibility for making the project interesting. Naitou: What did you think when you read the final chapter, Manabe? Manabe: Well I was his editor until just a bit before then, so I had discussed a lot regarding the final chapter in meetings with Sorachi-san. At any rate, there were just too many things foreshadowed that we had to tie up... Like the conclusion with Takasugi that you were talking about before, we talked a whole lot about the direction that the character of Takasugi was going in. Personally speaking, I thought that type of 'salvation' ending was good. Sorachi: I did a whole lot of googling to see how people reacted to the ending... I kind of google myself and my work a lot. I search things like 'Sorachi genius' and 'Sorachi incredible', stuff like that. Everyone: (Big laugh). Sorachi: So, I'm aware that people that liked Takasugi more weren't as happy. And it's true it's not clear if that's Takasugi or not. But I felt like after all this, Takasugi didn't need to be 'saved'. Like, I felt like he'd already been saved. I think the impression people get differs depending on how they took the final battle with Utsuro, but in my mind, that wasn't written with the intention for it to be a tragedy. Though I was crying as I drew it (laughs) but they were a different kind of tears, I guess. Takasugi had originally sort of died during the incident where he lost Shouyou, but he was just out there searching for a way to die. So in that 'life and-or death' state, measuring him was a bit different I- Oh, it's Matsuo-san! Matsu: Sorry I'm late! Isaka: Is your leg feeling better? Nakasaki: Did he break it again? Sorachi: You sure seem to break your leg every time you see me, don't you? Isaka: Well, you always break your leg as soon as you become the editor of "Gintama". Matsu: Sorry... Isaka: The other day when we were meeting to pick up the final manuscript and you showed up with crutches, I just thought 'Again?!'. Honda: It's gotta be some kind of karmic thing that comes with "Gintama". Matsuo's leg must be carrying the whole burden! Nakasaki: He was only able to get the final chapter manuscript in because he broke his leg. Naitou: So since you got in late, why don't you tell us your impressions of the final chapter, Matsuo-san? Soachi: You did read it, right? Matsuo: Yes, I did! Ok, impressions... Uh... Oh, well done on finishing your serialization. Sorachi: Ok, I'm getting suspicious now. Matsuo: My candid impression was '...Man, it's really over.' But, well I'm glad it ended without incident. Everyone: That's it?! Sorachi: You haven't read the series at all since you stopped being the editor, didn't you? Honda: Since he's a shoujo manga editor now, maybe that's a past he wanted to leave behind. Nakasaki: Hey, I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure he thinks 'This is all thanks to "Gintama"' all the time, right? Matsu: Sometimes I was used for story material, too. ...Sometimes I get asked questions I have trouble answering, but at times like that I just say 'Oh, that was actually my twin brother,' and that lets me sort of get out of jail free (laughs). Sorachi: Did... I really write private things or bad-mouth my editors that much? Matsu: Yes, you did (laughs). Big Text: Did you see the small sketches of the fake final chapter when you came to pick up the manuscript?! Naitou: How about we talk about when we all went to pick up the final chapter manuscript? Sorachi: Mind if I see the LINE messenger screen about it (See figure 1)? Naitou: Yeah, the picking up of the final manuscript was something we did behind the scenes. Saitou: Can we just show something like that to the person it's about? Sorachi: I see... This is pretty funny (Laughs). ...Oh this, I remember writing this email. Can you put this in?

It looked like he would be done in the morning. We'll probably need to delay the release from the 17th to the 20th. Read (6) Honda Roger. Thanks for all the effort you've put into this.
Article: Naitou: Sure we can. Sorachi: Sure you're not gonna delete the less-jokey trash talking? Honda: No, we're leaving it all in. Isaka: Originally you were supposed to get the manuscript for the final chapter in while I was still your editor. But I got moved all of a sudden, so somebody else had to take over. So we decided Naitou would work since he had experience being your editor already. Sorachi: I hadn't even heard about the editor change, so when you came to greet me at my studio, I was scared out of my wits! I saw this huge silhouette of a person standing behind Isaka-san and I thought 'Oh shit, I'm finally gonna be killed!' I was sure you'd hired a bouncer or something. Everyone: (Big laugh). Isaka: Naitou was actually trying to hide his face as he came into the studio, I think (laughs). So when I said 'You're changing editors' and introduced him you said 'What, now?!' all surprised. But right after that you said 'Well whatever happens, you can blame the other one, so I guess it works out.' which was a pretty shocking line... Everyone: (Big laugh). Sorachi: Yeah, but that's true! And this isn't the first time I've experienced being pushed into a really harsh job because of the timing of an editor change. Like with the movie or when I had to draw that huge calendar. And then when they got asked about it, they usually blamed the previous editor or they play innocent saying things got chaotic during the hand-over. Saitou: Why would they give the job of drawing a calendar to an author known for writing slowly? In my time I would've made sure to turn that down. Sorachi: Yeah but that was an impetus for me changing how I go about things a bit. 'Turn down jobs you know you should turn down!' Up until that point, I thought it was cool to just do whatever job you were handed, no matter how difficult it was. But when that happened, I realized 'Oh, these guys aren't thinking about this at all.' Everyone: (Big laugh). Isaka: ...So, when we were getting close to the point where the final chapter would be getting done, Honda-san and Saitou-san started talking about 'Wanna do that tradition for long series where we all go to pick up the manuscript?' Saitou: I know "Naruto" and "Bleach" did it. Nakasaki: I do remember thinking 'Won't Sorachi-san not like that?' (laughs). Isaka: That's why I mentioned to Sorachi-san 'You know there's this tradition...' And when I did, he said 'Uh, no thanks. I'd be too embarrassed... and it sounds like a hassle...' (laughs). So it did seem like it wasn't going to happen for a bit, but then when Naitou took over, he started setting up the plan again. But actually, if he had finished the last chapter on schedule, then most of the editors wouldn't have been able to participate. Originally when Naitou and I went to pick it up, you told us '...Uh, you're too early.' And when I said 'Okay, but I said I'd come in the afternoon.' And you said '...Uh, afternoon... I meant that in kind of a looser sense of the word,' (Laughs). Sorachi: I meant in 'mangaka time', you know? When a mangaka says 'afternoon', that means anywhere from noon to midnight... Isaka: I don't think I've heard that from anybody but you (laughs). We went and bought flowers and killed time at a coffee shop... Manabe was off in Los Angeles for work, but he ended up being able to make it back in time it took so long. Naitou: From seeing how Ohnishi-san acted, I remembering thinking 'Yup, that's his first editor.' So come night time we all gathered at the studio, but you still didn't seem like you were done with the manuscript at all... We were astonished at that, and then he started counting up the scattered manuscript pages in a matter-of-fact way. Honda: That was kind of cool. 'Whoa, how first-editor-like,' I thought. Isaka: And then we went to get a drink to kill more time... Then we came back when we felt like enough time had gone by that he'd surely be done, and Sorachi-san said 'You're still to early!' (Laughs). Saitou: After that, not completely fed up from waiting around at the studio, I got a volume of "Shiguri" off the bookshelf and started reading it. Even though I had my own copy at home. Matsuo: I remember being really amazed when I saw that (Laughs). That was your first time at Sorachi-san's new studio, wasn't it? And all of a sudden you took a manga book off a shelf and sat down on the stairs to start reading it! Like 'Is he at his friend's house?' (Laughs). Manabe: He was at a house he'd never been to before and he immediately made himself at home. Saitou: I sensed with my editor senses 'This is going to be a battle of attrition, isn't it?' Sorachi: I'd done the fake-out final chapter thing a bunch of times at that point, but I guess that final day was a mini-version of it. A whole 'It's because he's like this that this whole mess happened...' But let me say this at least. I'm telling you, I really thought I was gonna get it done! I always believed a miracle was gonna happen! I'd been doing a weekly series for 15 years, but every week I believed a miracle would happen... So I was sure for this final week, I'd somehow get it done by the deadline. Saitou: So... did a miracle ever happen?
Page 6: Sorachi: Well... No, almost never. But if I hadn't believed it would, I couldn't have done that every week! Honda: I do recall conversations in our meetings where at that point you thought 'I can get it done early this week!' Nakasaki: Yeah, but nobody ever believed that... Sorachi: I did! Saitou: So, okay, you weren't 'lying.' But because because of that we believed you, and we ended up being mislead as a result. Sorachi: Well, maybe I did lie sometimes... Everyone: (Bitter laugh). Nakasaki: You mean you didn't have any malice behind it, you were saying what you really thought. Isaka: Yup, that's the most dangerous type out there (laugh). Big Text: The repeated "it's ending", "it's ending" grift. Naitou: So, what're your candid thoughts on the series ending? Sorachi: Well, nothing's really changed. I'm still doing work on a bunch of different things. Only I have this anxiety about what's gonna happen to me after all these little tasks are all gone. So to be honest I'm not all that happy about it. Everyone: Oooh! Sorachi: I'm sort of anxious about becoming a gear of society. Saitou: Like a feeling 'People won't need you anymore?' Sorachi: Well if I'm not drawing manga, I'm pretty much just trash, right? I have a sense that because I draw manga, I can just manage to establish myself as a human, sort of. Nakasaki: Hm, maybe you should get a part-time job or something? Everyone: (Big laugh). Isaka: That could make for a good article (Laugh). Maybe you could be a 'one-day operator' at Kyodo Printing Co.? Matsuo: Maybe go to the bread factory and make cheesy steamed bread? Saitou: Or make a Gin-zania amusement park?! Sorachi: ...Yes, these are all great suggestions. Naitou: Your assistants aren't coming to your studio anymore, right? Sorachi: Yeah that's probably the biggest change. I feel kinda lonely, not having people I can complain about manga with anymore. Nakasaki: Then why not leave the nest of your studio and go be an assistant to some other pro mangaka? Isaka: You mean Sorachi-san drawing backgrounds and stuff? That's hilarious (laughs). Sorachi: No way they'd hire me! Isaka: Maybe somewhere like Akimoto-sensei's studio. Someplace that's well regulated. Sorachi: Like a rehab clinic? Isaka: But you know, Akimoto-sensei was worried about you every time I met with him. He'd say things like 'Is Sorachi-kun okay? He did really end the series, right?' (laughs). Saitou: Why did the ending get so prolonged anyhow? Isaka: The root cause was something Manabe and Sorachi made, right? Honda: When was it you first started saying the story was 'ending'? Isaka: That would be when he said the 'Silver Soul Arc' began. Manabe: I took over as editor in the middle of the 'Shogun Assassination Arc', and I think that's the point where the 'We should think about wrapping up' talk first started, I believe. Isaka: So like 2015. At that point the newest volume was around 55. Nakasaki: So at that point, you put out 20 more volumes (laughs). Saitou: That's enough for "Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho" to have gone from chapter 1 all the way to the end! Manabe: It was at that point when Sorachi-san saw the path to the ending. Sorachi: Yeah, there was a real change at that point. There were way fewer gags after, weren't there? Isaka: So Manabe wasn't editor for basically any gag chapters, huh? Sorachi: In my mind, we firmly entered the final arc when the shogun died. Though I hadn't said anything publicly at that point. Isaka: Manabe was editor for around 3 years, right? So from 2015 to 2018. Mnabe: In those days, I would get calls from the anime's producer asking, 'How's it going'? to verify what was going on, since the anime was also trying to plan out their end as they got to the end of the source material. Isaka: When I became editor, the first meeting I had with the anime staff was 'What should we do for the final episode of the anime...?' I was fine with taking the baton from Manabe, but at the point where Sorachi was doing the gorilla wedding in Weekly Jump, everyone got that 'Oh, it's not really ending yet, is it?' The questionnaires from that chapter were really good, though! Honda: I remember Isaka-san showing me the finished manuscript and saying 'Hey, check it out! He's doing a gorilla wedding! Now guess how many chapters he's got left in the main magazine after this?' (laughs).
Circle: Reference Figure (2) Sorachi Hideaki's 'apology message' for the Gintama app Middle Text: Weekly Jump, Jump Giga, and then the Gintama App... Again and again, he did fake endings. Even a gorilla couldn't help but feel some remorse after that. And the color of that remorse from right after penning the apology was... 'Sekiro'? Wait, was he playing that when he was supposed to be writing the chapter?!! T/N: Sekiro sounds sort of like a color because it ends in 'iro' (color). Black Bar: He's the actual hand-written manuscript [Left the handwritten part as-is, don't redraw it.] Heading: 'Apology Message' Full Text [This is the exact same text from when he posted it originally so I'll just copy and paste my translation here I guess.] I'm writing this late at night on Thursday, June 13th, and I have finally finished Gintama's final chapter. But, having gone past the point where we could get this out for the planned time on Monday, all of my editors over the years that had been ready with bundles of flowers to celebrate me finishing the final manuscript immediately tuned those bundles of flowers into weapons and pelted me with them one after another. Just know, I whittled down my 3rd editor's posture gauge and stabbed my g-pen into his temple to get a shinobi execution when my 4th editor sprouted from his back. Good grief. It seems like no matter what I do, there's no happy end for me. ...Nah just kidding. I'm really sorry about the repeated delays to all the readers out there that've been anticipating this. But the release date has only been delayed 3 days to Thursday. After all my crimes of repeatedly having fake-out endings and delaying the final volume character book release date, I have no hope of recovery as a weekly manga author. I've probably lost my chance of ever being in Jump again and I'll have to draw manga while fighting with death-row prisoners in an underground fighting arena, but even if that's the case, I have nothing for gratitude to all the readers and the motionless corpses of my editors laying at my feet for allowing me to reach the final chapter I wanted to draw. Thank you all so much. ...Huh? This is kinda sounding less and less like an apology. I'm really sorry about that!! So, yeah, the 20th! Please wait just until the 20th! This time it's seriously ending! Let's meet again in the final chapter. See ya! T/N: This is made up of a bunch of Sekiro (Shodows Die etc.) references.
Page 7: Sorachi: But I really believed I could finish it in 5 more chapters! Saitou: Weren't you at least nervous? You'd already announced 'Just 5 more' and there you were still drawing a gorilla wedding... Sorachi: ...Well let me just say, we'd decided to move it to 'Jump GIGA' before that point... Isaka: But we were discussing staying in Jump at least until Utsuro was beaten. We felt that it would be inexcusable to the readers if we didn't. The idea being the main story would be done in the main magazine, then 'Jump GIGA' would only have sort of an epilogue. But once the gorilla wedding started, that was kind of out the window. Like, what was Utsuro gonna do if he showed up here? The only way to do that final battle would be if he went down in one punch (laughs). Saitou: Why did you put that gorilla story right in the middle of the ending there...? It was pretty entertaining, though. Sorachi: When I was first writing the 2-years-later epilogue I showed them leaving and so I wanted to draw everyone coming home. But to be honest, I went a little crazy at that point and just figured it would be fine to just not end it and lose the place I was serialized at. As long as we could announce it in the volumes, then it would be fine. Isaka: And then finally going to the 'Gintama App' for serialization was decided in pretty short order. We figured it would be nice to give a boost to the app side of things... But I think allowing an app serialization with no deadlines or page number limitations was a real error in judgement. Naitou: Well the pattern of drawing new stuff just for the volume would've gone the same way. Isaka: Well, I guess the volume and the fanbook's release date got postponed anyhow... Sorachi: Well I found out about that from looking on the internet. I was just like, 'Oh, it got postponed'. Isaka: I hid the fact that the deadline was extended, though. And then I got an email from Sorachi saying 'Hey, um, did they happen to postpone the release date? lol.' That was no lol-ing matter! Sorachi: My ego-searching was pretty effective, I think! Saitou: If you had all that time to ego-search, then shouldn't you be working on your manuscripts?! Sorachi: I'm not ego-searching all the time! Just when I'm having a hard time and I want to be praised by someone! It's a reward! Honestly I've searched every word you can think of at this point! 'Sorachi Hideaki stylish', or 'Sorachi punk', stuff like that. Isai: Well I can understand stuff like 'genius', but why 'punk'? Is that a compliment? Sorachi: I'm at the point where being called a 'genius' isn't enough to make me feel anything! I wanna be called 'punk' and 'rock'! Saitou: So you're not satisfied with just 'rock' but you want 'punk', too?! Naitou: A real door-to-door search operation! (Laughs). Saitou: So, what would you say is the biggest reason you kept going for 2, 3 more years? Isaka: It's fundamentally the editor's responsibility. Sorachi: But I told you before, I personally believed I could get it finished... That even fooled the editors. Manabe: Just in the time I was your editor, you actually postponed the timing for the ending 3 times, didn't you? I can understand you realized 'This can't be the ending...' those times, but you kept saying you could so all we could do was believe you. Saitou: I guess somewhere along the way it didn't feel painful anymore, huh, Manabe? Isaka: Wasn't there a big problem with the final chapter in Weekly Jump because of the lyrics you put in it? We got permission from Konomi Takeshi-sensei before putting it in, but in addition to that there were lots of complicated rights issues... We got permission from the person who actually wrote the lyrics but apparently that wasn't enough. Nakasaki: ...Have you ever thought about writing a song, Sorachi-san? You could offer it to an idol to sing and things like that. Sorachi: And what would that get me? Nakasaki: Uh, royalties, I suppose? You know, "Gintama" never had any character songs. Sorachi: I don't really think about earning money on things like that. But if the author 'Sorachi Hideaki' thinks it's necessary, he'll do it even for free. Honda: Ooh! That's so cool! Manabe: Actually we came to Sorachi-san with questions like 'How about writing an essay?' and he said 'I'm a mangaka' and turned it all down. Big Text: Joy and sorrow regarding the manuscript... Naitou: So in the fanbook, we're going to put these rejected manuscript pages (*See figure 3). Sorachi: The truth is I actually wanted to use more 'space' to tell the story. It was decided that the final chapter would have 59 pages, but when I actually did it it came out to around... 63 pages. So then I had to cut and paste parts of the manuscript and find a way to cut down 4 pages. And 4 pages is a lot you know. It was like cutting off my own arm. Isaka: Yeah that's one of the drawbacks of the style where you set out on the manuscript without finishing the storyboard. ...When did you start doing that, do you think? Saitou: Oh, he was doing that back when he was still working with Ohnishi-san. Though I can't imagine him allowing something like that. Actually this round table is a good opportunity to set the record straight on things like that. Honda: A good time to proclaim, 'In my era, the manuscripts got done faster.' Sorachi: That's a 100% lie. Nakasaki: I remeber when "Gintama" had first started serialization... It must've been around chapter 5 or 6. And the manuscripts were getting done too late so Ohnishi-san got mad and said something like 'I'm not going to get the manuscripts anymore! You come and bring them to me!' And then Sorachi-san brought them all the way to the editorial department all while being steaming mad, too. Sorachi: Yeah I really went at it with Ohnishi-san at first. Nakasaki: When you first started the series you were sort of still a fresh newbie mangaka, but in those first few weeks you aged a whole ton at once, I remember. Isaka: At first, the questionnaire results weren't good, too. You think Ohnishi-san thought the series wasn't gonna last long anyhow so he could be a bit more negligent? (Laughs). Sorachi: It was only after the the series started getting on track that we were finally able to do preparatory meetings. Everyone: (Big laugh). Sorachi: Until that point we only had these sorta flighty meeting-like-things. Isaka: By the way, just how much did "Gintama" actually stick to what you discussed in those preparatory meetings? Sorachi: Well it went like that a few times... but usually when I was actually drawing it, that wouldn't feel right. Like when I was in the actual meetings, I would get excited and think 'It'll turn out great if I write it this way,' but that would be the sort of peak... Like then it would already be all done at the meeting. But after that when you're making it into the manuscript... it's like, it doesn't feel fresh anymore so it doesn't seem good. But sometimes I would just give it some time, let the joke sit for a while, and then use it. Isaka: There's another reason why "Gintama" manuscripts were late so often. Normally when you're at the storyboard stage, before the manuscript is sent to press, you can give the text to the printing company and have them make progress on it while you do the manuscript, right? Somewhere along the line you couldn't do that anymore. I think Matsuo was the one who quit doing it. Matuso: Was it me? Isaka: At the time, I was doing the whole progress control of the manuscripts, and I got a sense of discomfort. After we submitted the manuscripts to the printer, for some reason "Gintama" would always take longer to get printed off than everything else. So when I asked about it, I found out that Matsuo had stopped sending the text in beforehand. Matsuo: Well the text would change so much between the storyboard and the actual manuscript, so there wasn't much else I could do. Sorachi: Speaking of which, I remember Manabe-san saying to me that I changed lines to much from storyboard to manuscript. But I couldn't help but always want to linger on the lines. Like it might be possible to make them funnier. Honda: Though if I recall, changing lines at the last minute almost caused some accidents. Like some dangerous expressions... Nakasaki: Like I'd told him intently 'You can't use this word'! And then he'd use it in the text later again. Saitou: One time, when I was at shirayaki (*The final check before beginning the print) and I saw Katsura being run over by "a brand name product of a certain automobile maker", and yelling, 'Why would you think we could leave this in?!' (Laughs). Sorachi: Well, you see, that's why I'm punk (laughs). ...But seriously speaking, I feel like I can't hit the breaks. Even if I'd been warned about something, it temporarily just exits my headspace. Honda: I can understand that, but that's why you really should submit storyboards beforehand! Saitou: When I took over as editor, as you might expect, I thought it wasn't the best situation. I know I asked if you could at least submit a storyboard on Wednesdays. And then I got a reluctant 15-page one. You gave it to me with an invigorated face saying, 'This can kind of work like a first deadline! It feels pretty refreshing!' But then the next week, you didn't give me a storyboard at all. Everyone: (Big laugh). Big Text: How about we talk about "Gintama"?! Naitou: How long do you think you were planning for it to go at first? Sorachi: Hm... I guess I thought I could probably keep it up for around 30 volumes. I was frantic getting through each week, I couldn't think about how long before I would end it. Though as a reader, I don't think I'd buy a manga that went for 77 volumes! Everyone: (Big laugh).
Page 8: Reference Figure (3) The salvaged phantasmal panels cut from the final chapter! Middle text: Based on the number of pages in the volume, the final chapter had an upper limit of 59 pages. But if you count up all the partially-drawn manuscript pages, it comes to 63 pages. Sorachi-sensei cried and cried over having to cut out 4 pages. Those cut pages were something like this! [None of the handwritten text is legible]
Page 9: Saitou: When you stop and think about it, it's really amazing that it's longer than Mitsuteru Sangogkushi. Longer than that magnificent saga... Sorachi: But if you look at the manga world as a whole, series are getting longer, aren't they? The stories take up more space than older manga, too. Nakasaki: Hm, is shoujo manga as a whole getting longer? Saitou: "The Rose of Versailles" was just 9 volumes, right? But that's largely due to how much was packed into each page. Nakasaki: But some things change as time moves forward. In order manga there were more monologues and parts that were harder to read. Naitou: In one sentence, what would you say is the theme of "Gintama" as a series. Sorachi: Theme...? Hmm... Manabe: I've asked that before, and I believe you said you were wanting to draw a story where 'Even if your path has twists and turns, even if you go to all different places, in the end you come back to the same place.' Honda: Sorachi-san is making a real puzzled look right now (laughs). Sorachi: Did I say that? Nakasaki: Ok, let's try this. How about each of the editors say what they think the theme of "Gintama" is? Sorachi: Oh, that sounds good! I'm not really all that interested so is it okay if I go to the bathroom for that? Everyone: (Laughs). Saitou: This doesn't have to do with themes, but was it ever a challenge to have "Gintama" never use special techniques? Sorachi: I was pretty on-edge right from when my series started. But like, I could tell that Gin-san wasn't the type of characters to shout out special attack names. Though now I really wanna shout stuff out (laughs). It's just so cool! After 15 years, I think I finally figured it out. I get it, I really should've had everybody shouting this stuff out. Those special techniques create a sense of rules within battles, don't they? There was a time when I thought instead of using special techniques in "Gintama", I'd have a kind of 'voice of heaven' narration to direct everything and make things exciting. Kinda like in "Baki". But somewhere along the line the style of performance changed so much it just didn't fit. Naitou: Is there anything you'd say that's changed a lot since the series started? Like something you think you improved in? Sorachi: After finishing the final chapter, the first think I thought was, 'In the end, I didn't get any better at drawing manga, did I...?' And really just felt as sense of defeat in that regard. Isaka: Sorachi-san, you've been relatively less rigid when it comes to giving your assistants instructions, haven't you? Sorachi: Really? Anyone have an example? Honda: You give instructions like 'Make this pare a bit more HWAAH!'. That kind of thing. Sorachi: That just goes to show how good my assistants are. Manabe: I get the impression all of the assistants get their own reference materials and study as they draw. Sorachi: Well you can look stuff up on a smart phone super easily, can't you? So you can kind of give them autonomy. That's why I see them all as invincible. They've got the skill to make it through any scene. Isaka: Date (Tsunehiro)-sensei was your assistant for a long time. After that he went to work at "One Piece" and I know Oda-sensei took a liking to him right away. Sorachi: He was easy to talk to. And he knew how to create a mood in the workplace. Honda: He was good, fast, and persistent... A real triple-threat. Saitou: I remember a couple times when Sorachi-san raised his voice to say 'Whose awful handwriting is this on this handrawn text?!' while he was working. And it was me that wrote it. And then Sorachi-san would say something like 'Saitou-san wrote it? Ah, well nothing I can do, then.' Everyone: (Big laugh). Nakasaki: When I took over as editor from Saitou-san, I thought there'd be no way I'd help out on stuff like that, but but a few weeks in he said, 'Would you mind grabbing this drawing pen for a sec?' (laughs). Sorachi: Hey, I didn't like that either! Having a total beginner at manga touch a manuscript like that. But now's really not the time to be saying that, is it?! Nakasaki: Well you were making me wait around 4 hours from the beginning. Isaka: I remember I waited 13 hours on my first day. Then in the table of contents comment he wrote, 'I'll have it done in 12 hours next time!' And the following week he kept me waiting for 14 hours (laughs). I remember when I asked, 'What was it like with Manabe?' he said, 'Mamanbe-san was kind of like a zashikiwarashi, a protective household deity, so I didn't really notice much of a difference if he was here or not,' (laughs). Manabe: But even you couldn't be that indifferent, Sorachi-san. I know there was a chair you recommended me to wait in. Though it was seriously uncomfortable so I gave it back to you pretty quickly. Nakasaki: In my time, I sat on the floor. Isaka: Do yout think Sorachi-san got better with dealing with editors? Saitou: I feel like he basically thought of us as a 'manuscript delivery machine', no? Sorachi: Hey, no I didn't! Isaka: But he's surprisingly good at talking about manga. Saitou: Yeah, that's true. I was pretty new, just into my 2nd or 3rd year as an editor at the time, when I became editor for "Gintama". And I learned sooo much about manga from talking with Sorachi-san. Talking with him was always such pure fun. Isaka: I was only his editor for a little while, but but I heard a lot of stuff that's been beneficial. Like when I asked him about how to create characters, he said 'Well, you gotta start by thinking about limitations, right?' And that felt like it really made sense to me. Sorachi: Yeah, it shouldn't start with 'What can the character do, what can you make them do?' Thinking about 'What can't they do' is the most important. Saitou: You're incredibly logical when it comes to manga, aren't you, Sorachi-san? Honda: Even if it wasn't manga, if I talked with him about movies or just talked about nonsense at a bar, the way he looked at things was so precise and insightful that I always felt like I was learning something. Sorachi: I had fun with that, too. Because honestly I never wanted to be talking about "Gintama"! Everyone: (Laughs). Isaka: I remember a while back, I talked with Sorachi-san about 'what would be good' for Fujimaki (Tadatoshi)-sensei's next work. We talked for two hours and our imaginations ran wild, and I ended up going home without talking about "Gintama" at all (laughs). Sorachi: Oh yeah, that was fun. I think we ended on 'a period drama from him would be great, wouldn't it?' Kinda like Inoue-sensei going from "Slam Dunk" to "Vagabond". Isaka: 'Yes, you've got it! Well, goodnight!' (laughs). After that, when I talked to Fujimaki-sensei about it, we got into a pretty intense conversation where he basically said he 'wasn't all that interested in period pieces.' (laughs). Big Text: Sorachi-sensei is really good! Saitou: You know, Sorachi-san, you're insanely good at drawing sword fights. Sorachi: ...You noticed?! Ya know, I don't think anyone's ever complimented me on that before! I set them up fairly often. And when they happen, the manga won't have any lines, and usually there's nothing to explain, so you can sorta read right through them without thinking, I suppose. Saitou: Honestly the camera work and switching perspectives and all that is really good. Sorachi: Well, a big reason I need to be so detailed with them is because I don't do any special techniques. So I need to pick up a lot of skills or they just wouldn't be that good. In the people that are serialized in the magazine right now, "Hinomaru Zumou" is really good in that area. Sumo moves are kinda dull and if you just watch matches normally, you don't really get a sense of awe, do you? So in "Hinomaru" he has to get each monologue and bit of narration right so you know what every thrust means, like what sort of emotions are packed into them. I had to do thinkgs like that, too, but when I realized it was too late. Isaka: I checked some of the old questionnaire results from the early days of "Gintama", and in that episode in Lesson 9 where Gin-san and Hijikata fought on the roof, that got first in the rankings. So things were picking up. It was the first chapter where you'd done a proper depiction of a fight. Sorachi: Uh, wasn't that just because it had the Shinsengumi in it? Saitou: When you're setting up a swordfight, I guess you move through it spinning around the scene with the camera in your head, right? Sorachi: Yeah, definitely. It really takes a lot of time and effort. I don't think anybody really realizes that. I get comments from readers saying stuff like, 'The serious parts are boring.' (laughs). Matsuo: I guess you don't get much bang for your buck with those, huh...? Saitou: Turning a video into a manga, that's a really incredible skill. A lot of pros really can't do that. Like even if they can do the camera in their head thing, they can't get it on paper without having some level of awkwardness. Sorachi: Like you'll have a story you think is really good, say you take 20 pages to tell it, and then nobody understands what's going on! ...Though, I guess my manga's really the worst when something's not conveyed properly. Isaka: I think the reality and entertainment value get through to the readers on a subconscious level. Saitou: Like in the battle with Housen in the 'Yoshiwara in Flames Arc', you really did some incredible stuff there. Housen had this gigantic umbrella and he was up against someone with a regular-sized wooden sword. You had to make the swordfight work despite that big difference in weapons, but it worked. Sorachi: If I'd had special techniques there, I wouldn't have had to go through all that strenuous effort...
Page 10: Saitou: When newer authors try to do that, you get a sense that a bunch of time got skipped between panels. The movements don't connect into a series. Big Text: What Created "Gintama" Sorachi: I don't think I've really talked about this, but when I was in elementary school, I really loved Tajima Shouu-sensei's manga 'MADARA'. Having only ever seen the typical oblong eyes in shounen manga up to that point, the long and narrow eyes in that manga really made an impact on me. I copied that style a lot in my own drawings. And the girls' uniforms were cute, too. I really wanted to capture those qualities, but I couldn't do it completely. Saitou: Now that you mention it, the way both of you draw eyes is kind of similar. Isaka: I don't think there are many artists out there that've copied your style, though, Sorachi-san. Saitou: I think the way you deliver lines has really affected people, though. I've even seen regular people mimicking it online. Like a 'Sorachi sentence structure'. Sorachi: There's definitely some warmer reactions, but generally I see things like 'Gintama-talking isn't funny', so it's a bit complicated. Isaka: I think 'total sadist characters' have become more prominent since Okita first appeared. Sorachi: Yeah, but those existed on variety TV shows and stuff before then. I always have the TV on when I'm working, so I think TV and radio have had more of an effect on me than manga. I got hooked on the comedy team Downtown, to the point I'm listening to them on late-night radio all the time. And at the same time I got hooked on Shiba Ryoutarou-sensei's novels and some stuff like that. I think the mix of those opposing ideas is maybe what gave birth to Gintama. Honda: People that are good at taking input from things outside manga often result in drawing better manga, don't they? Like people with a wealth of real-world experience. Saitou: Is there any particular story in Gintama where you were able to use something you'd experienced in real life? Sorachi: Uh, not really, not for "Gintama"... Though I did use one for a one-shot. The story about the girl who vomited (*Gorugo Izayo from the one-shot manga "13"). I don't think I can go too into detail on that though. I'll just say it was this pretty, cute young lady, and she would vomit just randomly sometimes. And one time she vomited up a whole grape... It was like, 'Woah, a Kyoho grape!' But at the time, I wasn't capable of being kind to that girl. So the idea of what would've happened if I'd been kind to her back then... that is what '13' came about from. Now that I think about it, the sense of helplessness from not being able to do anything when I was little just piling up over time may be why I ended up being a mangaka! Honda: You know, our image is 'Sorachi Hideaki = Sakata Gintoki'. Sorachi: Well, Gin-san is a character I made as a projection of 'objects of men's admiration' like in the TV show "Tantei Monogatari" (Detective Story) and things like that, so he's not me. Just to make the character expand a bit, I added some elements of me into him. Like the part about being more of a "Dragon Quest" guy than a "Final Fantasy" guy (laughs). I'm a really timid, doing-dumb-stuff-all-the-time type, so rough-types that don't sweat the details are people I admire and consider strong. Like the comedian Chihara Seiji-san. I bought his book, "Rough Power" (laugh). Big Text: 4 Hours in, Ohnishi-san Joins the Party Isaka: We were just on a really interesting topic. The common features between Sorachi-san and Gin-san. Ohnishi: ...Common features ? Isaka: As his first editor from when his serialization started, you've probably watched Sorachi-san more than anyone, right, Ohnishi-san? I was hoping you could tell us what similarities you've seen between Sorachi-san and Gin-san! Ohnishi: Hmm, similarities... Uh, but isn't Gintoki more or less the personification of what Sorachi-kun 'admires'? Everyone: Oooh! Sorachi: We were actually just saying that exact thing. About how I want to become a human with zero delicacy. Ohnishi: You already have zero delicacy. Sorachi: ....Huh? (*After this is about 20 minutes of completely unusable everyday chatter) Saitou: Okay, so how about we bring the topic back to "Gintama". Sorachi-san, is there any character whose design you particularly like? Isaka: I think "Gintama" has really excellent character design. Sorachi: Really? That really makes me feel good to hear! Isaka: Well if it didn't then you wouldn't sell any character merchandise. Sorachi: Well, uh... Let me... put it this way. I kind of alllways had this sense that I wasn't good at character design. Ohnishi: I remember the manuscript where Takasugi first appeared was incredibly late. And we couldn't wait any more so I tried to forcibly rip the manuscript away from you and you said 'Wait just one... last thing' and you hid one of his eyes. Isaka: And that ended up being foreshadowing that paid off right before the final chapter, didn't it? Sorachi: I remember with Takasugi, when I first showed his design to Ohnishi-san, you made a comment like, 'This guy looks like a college student!' At first he had this black cloak-like haori. He had an appearance similar to a college student in the Meiji era. He made fun of it so much I changed it to his current look. Isaka: Ah, so that's why Ohnishi-san was boasting that he's Takasugi's birth father. Manabe: Were you conscious of him being shorter than Gintoki at first? Sorachi: Uh, well... to be honest, I just sorta drew him shorter for no reason in the first panel they were standing next to each other. But I figured, what the hell, so I left it. I don't think I thought about it all that much. But I do remember that I'd ego-search myself even back then, and I saw everyone's comments saying, 'Heh, so he's short.' So then I was like, 'Yes, that's right. He's short.' (laughs). Saitou: But character height differences are really important! Ohnishi: More passionate fans will do things like make images where all the characters stand against a wall with tape showing how tall they are in comparison to each other, won't they? Saitou: What about Gin-san and the others' desigsn? Sorachi: Well, uh, for Gin-san... I ripped off elements from a whole bunch of places, so I'm not really sure myself. The kimono and boots and stuff are like Sakamoto Ryouma's. I'm pretty sure having one arm outside the kimono was because I saw the package illustration of "Nobunaga's Ambition" and he only had one arm in the sleeve, and thought that was cool, so I ripped that off. But I think I was conscious from the beginning that it was a sort of Japanese and Western style clothing jumbled together. I feel like in manga, one look at a character has to be enough to tell stuff like what era it's set in, what kind of world is being built. Saitou: The design for the Shinsengumi's uniforms came from "Castlevania", didn't it? Sorachi: Yeah, that's right. "Symphony of the Night"! I'm into video games, so I got a lot from them. Nakasaki: Honestly I'm impressed you're able to be so precise about how you designed every little thing like that. Ohnishi: Gin-san's design was 'Ginko', wasn't it? Sorachi: Ginko? Like, the female Gin? Ohnishi: Ginko from "Mushishi". Nakasaki: I do remember you having the volumes of "Mushishi" around since way back. Isaka: They are similar, aren't they? Well, they certainly have those sleepy eyes, at least. Sorachi: If I had to pick someone, I'd say Gin-san is most like Reinhard from "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Reinhard has naturally wavy hair, too, right? I messed it up even more. Matsuo: I figured that Gin-san had the naturally perm hair because you have a natural perm, Sorachi-san. No? In fact... I've got a natural perm, too. Sorachi: I really don't think I was projecting myself with the design, honestly... Gin-san's prototype was Sanmoto Gorouzaemon in "Shirokuro". He was the protagonist of a shounen manga, so I figured I'd make his hair would be all fluffed up and aloof, but then I stuck the Reinhard in, and it became a lot limper hair style. Big Text: This is what I like about "Gintama"! Sorachi: One color illustration I really like is one where the Yorozuya are in sort of old Edo punisher-type outfits (*Page 284 of this book). I drew it for a center color page. Also the one where Kagura has a different hair style from usual and has her umbrella up, looking melancholy in the rain (*Page 305 of this book). I really liked Naitou-san's insert text for that one. 'There are days like those... yes?'
Page 11: Ohnishi: Whenever you had to draw color double-page spreads, you always took a long time racking your brains over the composition, didn't you? Sorachi: Well, yeah! 'Course I rack my brains over the composition! Once you get how to compose everything down, it's easy! With Jump cover illustrations, there's lots of restrictions so it's actually easier to decide on something. But for opening color pages, you can do whatever you want. So for that, you need to think about how you're advertising the current developments of the story. Nakasaki: I remember when the first anime movie was greenlit, you had Gin wear these clothes like Charlie Chaplin (*Page 12 of this book). I remember being kinda moved by that one. Honda: I really loved the illustration of Hijikata for the 'Baragaki Arc' color page (*Page 19 of this book). That image really pulled me in and the story really moved me. Matsuo: This one is the first color manuscript page that was done after I'd become editor (*Page 21 of this book). ...Here is when those hellish days began. With the movie... Ohnishi: Whenever the manuscript was late, he'd just not think at all and do a big group shot (laugh). Honda: I remember Sorachi-san once told me 'I have zero confidence in my color pages, so I at least want to make the readers happy by putting lots of characters on them...' Saitou: Sorachi-san is pretty quick to downplay his own drawings, but I actually think he has excellent color sensibilities. Honda: You can always tell he went for a theme in each one. Isaka: By the way, which characters would you say you have the most attachment to? Sorachi: Well that'd be the Yorozuya, obviously! Saitou: Seems like could make a pretty immediate decision for that one, huh? But I get the impression you have an interest in Hasegawa, too. Sorachi: I like Hasegawa, too. Manabe: When I was reading the final chapter, I actually forgot he existed for a minute until he showed up in it... that was a really funny scene! Sorachi: I have a kind of warped attachment to Hasegawa, but since the basis of the series "Gintama" is the three members of the Yorozuya. Ohnishi: But chapter 2 was about Hasegawa, right? He appeared before Kagura did. Sorachi: To be 100% honest, that's because I originally had a plan for Hasegawa to join the Yorozuya. Basically when I was thinking about the composition of the Yorozuya with Gintoki at the top, I felt like they needed someone to sort of lower their degree of freedom, so, I felt there needed to be an adult character in the mix. So I felt like that if Hasegawa were at the top of the organization, then Gin-san wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted. In the end it just felt like he 'didn't fit' so I scrapped the idea (laughs). Saitou: The questionnaires for chapter 2 had you in *th place. So maybe that choice was the right one. By the way, chapter 3 was *th place. Ohnishi: Chapter 1 was *th place. That was a pretty harsh number for a new series. But maybe because he had expectations for it, the then editor-in-chief Sasaki-san let it stick around. I remember after the new-series meeting ended, Sasaki-san tapped me on the shoulder and said 'Ohnishi, about "Gintama"... it JUST made it!' (Laughs). Isaka: I heard this from Sorachi-san at the time, but you weren't really in a rush, right? Sorachi: It's odd. I just sort of had confidence. Like, 'Well, I don't think it's gonna end.' Honestly, I don't think I understood the situation I was in all that well. Ohnishi-san didn't really go into it that much with me. Ohnishi: Yeah, I did? I talked to you about all sorts of things! ...Like, with the 'flower viewing' story (*Lesson 17). Sorachi: Oh yeah, I remember the 'flower viewing story'. I had a lot setup for it, and all the characters that had been introduced so far appeared all at once. It was the first center color pages I got. Isaka: In that chapter you lept up the rankings all at once and the first printing of volume 1 sold out. Ohnishi: Well, yeah it sold out, but we only printed like 30,000 of them, right? "Death Note" printed around 200,000. Sorachi: Well that was Shueshia's responsibility! But still, I was really happy. Getting the expanded printing right away like that felt good. Saitou: Speaking of which, Ohnishi-san, your claim that it's my fault that "Gintama's" manuscripts started getting late, right? Sorachi: It was right around the chapter that Hamuko appeared in (*Lesson 12). After that my progress really fell apart. Saitou: See! That's totally still during the era Ohnishi-san was editor! Why you gotta lie so much?! Ohnishi: ...Yeah, but the root cause behind the evil deed of destroying the schedule is this guy! Sorachi: Huh?! I haven't seen you in so long and I'm 'this guy' now?! What the hell?! Isaka: But Ohnishi-san, don't you always say 'The one responsible if an author's manuscript is late is the editor'?! I know you really emphasized that to Manabe, right?! Honda: So you were just doing that to look superior and put your kouhai in their place, huh?! (Laughs) Big Text: On what Sorachi-sensei is doing 'from here' Sorachi: Well what am I gonna do next...? I don't really have anything but manga, so... Yesh. I think if I'm writing my next work, this time I'll draw a 'growth type' protagonist. Gin-san was already grown from the start, he's not really the type to grow bigger. ...So, yeah, the kinds of protagonists in manga that sell like crazy are all 'growth types'! Saitou: Do you want to draw a shounen manga for your next series, too? Sorachi: Yeah, I think so. If I went to a seinen magazine, I don't think it'd be that well received there. Once you get into seinen manga, dirty jokes become the norm. Nakasaki: So you think there's value in having done "Gintama" in a shounen manga, huh? Sorachi: Well, I thought it might be a good to be thrown into a place where I'm not comfortable. It might actually be best for me to go to a place like "Corocoro Comic". But I think I've more than proven that even changing to a monthly schedule won't make me stop breaking deadlines any less, so I guess weekly. It's more flashy. Ohsaka: So you're not into the idea of doing some sorta 'extreme erotic' thing, then. Maybe 'clothed erotic' would be more up your alley. Strategically, anyhow. Sorachi: ...Wow. I work my ass off drawing manga for 15 years and then I get told 'try some clothed eroticism'. Everyone: (Big laugh). Saitou: If I were to pick something I'd like to see Sorachi-san tackle just once, it'd be a manga without any gag elements. Isaka: What?! You'd just clip his wings like that?! Saitou: Yagi Norihiro-sensei did "Angel Densetsu" and followed it up with the serious manga "Claymore", didn't he? Honda: "Claymore" was good. Saitou: I have no idea if Sorachi-san can make a serious manga good or not, I just kind of want to know if he can. Sorachi: But uh, what would be in it for me exactly? And I don't think the readers really want that either? Saitou: Well because of the anything-goes nature of Gintama's world, you always had lots and lots of choices, right? Like whether you wanted to do a comedic story or a serious story. So if you then limit yourself to serious, then it might create more consistency. Sorachi: I mentioned this before, but for my next work, I want to make use of a "voice of heaven narration". Also I might have some special techniques and screaming. I'll keep screaming dirty jokes until I die. Nakasaki: So the more extreme version of that is to just do kamishibai, picture story shows, right? Saitou: I can see the rumors spreading now. 'These this incredible kamishibai, you've gotta go see it!' Honda: Even if it's not a kamishibai, any story Sorachi-san can broadcast to kids, I'd want to see. Imagine like a slightly grown kid reading it. Like an elementary schooler admiring a 2nd year middle schooler and wanting to read what they wrote. Manabe: Personally, I'd like to read a picture book written by Sorachi-san. Sorachi: A picture book, huh...? I actually feel like I might over-do that. It'd be like a guy who acts mean drawing something for kids. Isaka: Then there's dipping your hand into writing prose... Sorachi-san, do you think you're the type who'd be okay with just writing the story but not doing the art yourself?
Page 12: Sorachi: I'd be totally fine with that! I don't have all that much love for my own drawings... Matsuo: I think original writer is probably the worst pattern for you. The artist will end up dead by the time you finish the 'conclusion arc'. And nobody wants to have to deal with that disaster. Sorachi: But I don't think 100% of the nuance will get across that way, so I think it's gonna need to be my art, too. I'd be saying stuff like 'Giving it this deformed look isn't right...' Isaka: Are you thinking of heading straight into serialization again? Or are you thinking of maybe doing something else, like a one-shot or a mini-series? Naitou: I've said to Sorachi-san he should just rest for a bit. Meanwhile I've been thinking of all the work I'd like to see him do and I'm planning out all these projects in my head. Sorachi: The idea of trying to tackle something I've never done is interesting. ...Naitou-san, that plan you brought with you, that was pretty interesting. Such, like, bright new ideas! Naitou: I felt it might be a good idea for him to get himself out there in some way besides with manga. Sorachi-san is the type that'll die if he doesn't keep moving. That includes the time spent idling when he's doing a weekly series. Sorachi: I personally don't really feel like taking a break either. I like being busy. Matsuo: I know you hate essay projects, but maybe for example, an interview with someone, and then you record those words in a new book... You could make a book like that. You could make it about your responses to frustrations in the world or something like that. We could call it 'Sorachi Hideaki's Manga Philosophy' or something like that, I think that would turn out great. You writing pure text would probably take you a similar amount of time to drawing manga, so maybe we could do it with someone else doing the actual writing for you. It would be kind of like this round-table discussion we're doing here. If we had you talk in this kind of format, we could pull out all kinds of interesting conversations. If we just turned that into book form, I figured it might sell. I think just one hour of data-gathering could fill enough for a series in a weekly publication. Saitou: But, whatever form it ends up in, making your next work is going to be really difficult. Even if you draw the same kind of comedy manga, you can't wipe away the image of the 77 volumes of "Gintama" all that easily. Sorachi: That's true, this would be my '2nd work', wouldn't it...? My first work being "Gintama" is gonna really loom large. Isaka: What's the first editor think? Sorachi: Oh yes, please, first editor-sama. Ohnishi: I'm on the other side of the fence. I think it's fine for you to just do the same thing. It would be pretty misleading to say you were doing the same thing. But I think something like what 'Adachi Mitsuru-sensei' did would be good. As in, having a style that changes as time goes by, but the foundation of your work always staying the same. Sorachi: I kinda get the feeling that no matter what I write, it'll always have a 'Gintama smell' to it. I think that comes with "Gintama" being a kind of 'has everything' series. Big Text: And lastly, any final words! (*Ohnishi has taken his socks off and started sitting on the sofa grasping he knees like you'd do in gym class.) Isaka: You sure like to get barefoot in a hurry, huh, Ohnishi-san? You're the only one I know who'll take their socks and shoes off first thing once you get to an author's work place. Sorachi: He'll also open the fridge the first chance he gets. 'Is it okay if I eat this? Can I drink this?' All that. Ohnishi: Well we've been doing this for hours now and I'm tired! How about we start wrapping up with any last words we want to give to the fans. Have any? Sorachi: Huh...? Well that should go without saying. When I was drawing "Gintama", I'd intended to draw will full strength, but looking back on it now, I think I only brought out about 20% of it. I had this heavy iron ball in my G-pen. And I spend all my time ego-searching. In all that time I can't forget, I powered up. Now I think I can make a new work for everyone that's more punk, rock, classcial, and jazz. I'm gonna sell more than eveeeer!! (Laughs) Isaka: Okay, then how about each of us give a few words to Sorachi-san? While I want to say beforehand that I'm certainly looking forward to Sorachi-san's next work no matter what it ends up being, I'm not personally interested in seeing a growth-type protagonist drawn by Sorachi-san, actually... Sorachi: Huh, really?! Isaka: If you have a character like Gin-san next to you, I think it just about works. If they're in a team like Sena and Hiruma or Ippo and Takamura... Sorachi: C'mon, it'll be fine. I know about all that kinda stuff! All that's all stuff you figure out beforehand! Isaka: Okay, then I'll be looking forward to it! Also, my position is moving around, and if I end up in charge of "Gintama" remix, then I'm hoping you could draw 5 new pages for us! Sorachi: ...Uh, 5 pages, that's gonna be tough (laughs). Isaka: I know I was only your editor for a fairly short period of only 1 year, but I'd really like to work with you again, so here's hoping for the future! Manabe: I think of all your editors over the course of the series, I was your editor longest after Ohnishi-san. I know I probably annoyed you in a number of ways, but honestly I learned a lot from you. Since then I started as an editor in 'V Jump', and if Sorachi-san wants to do some work with a video game with me, I'd be delighted. Naitou: For me, my relationship with Sorachi-san is still 'from here'. My tenure as his editor was the shortest. If the start of his new series is 1 year from now, then I'll set my goal on one year from now and do my best as we head towards it. I'd like to drop in on the studio every once in a while and talk about things with Sorachi-san. Meeting where it's okay if there's no storyboard, we just have some fun... And after a little of that, we can go back to those hellish days. Matsuo: I was a newcomer at the Weekly Jump Editorial Department and the first editor job I got was with "Gintama". Right from the start I suddenly broke a bone and caused you a lot of problems. I think I'd rather... forget those more difficult parts. I'm a shoujo manga editor now, but while I wouldn't call it a romantic comedy manga, I'd like to read another one-shot like "13" where you draw some of the subtleties of humanity sometime. And I'm not giving up on that new book plan, so I'd love it if we ended up doing that together. Honda: I don't think the saying 'once on shore, we pray no more' quite applies, but now that we've reached this point, I look back on my time as editor of "Gintama" with only fun memories. It's been 5 years since then, but if I can work with Sorachi-san again, then I have a feeling we can make a work that's even better than what we were making back then. And if Naitou-san dies in action or something, then I'd like to go back to being his editor again, so I hope he'll have me. (*Nakasaki-san is totally drunk and has fallen asleep.) Isaka: Look at this old dude, he's out like a light (laughs)! Saitou: Please just write 'ZZZZZZZ...' for his part. Okay, I'm next then I guess. I've stepped away from the manga department, so while not quite what Manabe was saying, I think I could come up with a game project plan that fits the type of author Sorachi-san is really well. And this is somewhat just for my personal tastes, but I'd love to product a sort of 'Philosophy of Creative Writing' from him. I think a book that brought together the thoughts of three great authors with the best language skills of the ones I've worked with, Togashi (Yoshihiro)-sensei, Asahira (Daisuke)-sensei, and Sorachi-sensei, would be a great thing to leave for future generations. Okay then, Ohnishi-san. Please leave us with a nice image to go out on. Ohnishi: Nice? Sorachi: You sure about that? I kinda think we've given an image of a bunch of kids from the boondocks. Ohnishi: What's that supposed to mean?! ...Ok, well, let's see. Sorachi-kun has been drawing manga for 15 years now, but I don't get the sense 'his talent have been exhausted' at all. I think there's tons more entertaining stuff he can come up with. So I'd like to say this: I want you to hurry up and draw your next work! But without getting too worked up about it, I think if you just draw something you think is good, then that should be plenty. Sorachi: Heh. I see. Well, I'll do the best I can. Everyone: Well done! Side Text: (Total recording time, 6 hours and 30 minutes)
Page 13: Title: Year 3 Class Z Ginpachi Sensei Author: Sorachi Hideaki Guys: Staaand! Bow! Sign: Sugar Content Gin: Okay everybody, listen up. The story finally made it to the final chapter. So that means you idiots that've been repeating grades over and over again are finally graduating. And on that note, here is our new transfer student, Sorachi Hideaki-kun. If anyone has any questions for Sorachi, now's the time to ask. SFX: NOSSHI Kon: Sensei!! What do you mean, questions?! How can we hold a conversation with a gorilla?!! Gin: Huh? What? What's he saying? All I hear is UHO UHO. I don't get it. Kon: Huh? With me, too?! Tae: Sensei, I feel that a school with two gorillas is no longer a school, but more of a zoo at that point. Can I go home? Gin: Okay, I got it. Kondou, Sorachi, Otae, all of you go back to your cages. Shou: Sorry. SFX: GAH GAH GOH Shouyou: I can interpret if you'd like, Sensei. Gin: Uh, you're the sensei, Shouyou! Shou: Having repeated school years for an eternity, I've learned his language. Gin: Someone whose repeated school years for an eternity is just an idiot, Shouyou. Someone: This is Kondou-kun's question: Why did this rare disaster for all of Jump history, two fake-out final chapters and numerous delays happen? Gin: Good question, Kondou-kun. Kondou: I don't remember asking a dangerous question like that, Sensei! I think this guy really is an idiot! Handwritten: UHO UHO Gin: Mhm. Mhm. I see... Is that right...? Someone: Sensei, do we not really need an interpreter then?! Gin: Okay, well it's a rather delicate topic, so he says he'll say why while wrapped in a banana peel. Kondou: Sensei, please wrap it in a sugar coating! Gin: Something like this. Bubble: I was playing SEKIRO Someone: Sensei, that banana peel isn't doing shit! I can see SEKIRO bursting out of it! Gin: It's not a banana, it's Isshin sticking out of Genichiro's back. That sure looks tough to deal with. Someone: Please stop talking about SEKIRO or you're gonna get flamed online. Gin: Are there any other questions? Someone: Sensei, I'm scared, so I can't! SFX: ZUH Kagura: Yes, Sensei. So as of the end of the story, Sakata Gintoki's birth is still a mystery. What happened with regards to that? SFX: GATA Kagura: Among readers, there's a theory that since he has silver hair, that he might be half Amanto. Gin: Okay, then is purple-haired Sacchan half old Osaka lady? Sacchan: How rude!! What does half old Osaka lady even mean?! Kyuu: Calm down, Sarutobi. You're not an old Osaka lady. You're only half. So you're more like an old Nagoya lady. Sa: So I'm still an old lady?! Hiji: Oh, I know. Silver haired men... Sougo: are half old Sugamo men, right?
Page 14: Gin: Unfortunately, that's not correct either. Handwritten: UHO UHO Gin: He says he wants to keep the reason as to why Sakata Gintoki's hair is silver a secret to all of us, and he'll only talk about it wrapped in the banana peel. Like this. Text: Because it's a manga. Someone: Sensei, that was just a totally blunt answer! C'mon banana peel, do your job! Someone: Okay, does anyone else have a question? Sensei, please just give it up! You're just making yourself look bad! 15 years of hard work is going up in smoke... Handwritten: Yes! Utsuro: Then I will turn everything to the void with this question of destruction. Someone: Sensei, this doesn't look good! Shouyou-kun's other personality, Hensachi Utsuro-kun has activated! He sounds like he's gonna ask a question that's no joke! T/N: Hensachi = Standardized test scores. Utsuro: Sorachi-kun, I ask you this question... are bananas considered snacks? Someone: Aah, Shoyou-kun took back over!! Utsu: Don't get in my way, Shouyou!! What I want to ask is... are bananas considered royalties? No, bananas are snacks. Someone: It kinda looks like both of these two have garbage questions. Utsu: Bananas are royalties! Shou: Bananas are snacks. Gin: Someone stop these two... or maybe stop this "one" idiot would be more accurate. Anyhow, any more questions? SFX: GAH GOH GAH Zura: Sensei, what even is Oba-Z anyhow...? Gin: Man, you don't give up! Someone: Sensei! SFX: GARARA T/N: The question about bananas is a cliche question asked in elementary schools. Taka: So, at the end, did I die? Or am I alive? Which is it? Someone: Takasugi-kun! It's Takasugi-kun, the one who was in that vague life-or-death state at the end of the manga! Gin: ...That obviously avoided giving a clear depiction to give people hope. Or are you prepared to accept the truth, no matter how cruel it may be? Taka: ...Yes. Sorachi: Then I'll be completely upfront. I just sorta didn't want to spare the pages for it. Er... Rather than sticking in stuff about Takasugi, I decided I'd rather put as many gags in as I could. So I figured that was enough... Someone: You can taaaalk?! Go wrap yourself in a banana peel!! Gin: Okay then, so, either way works, really. But if you really wanna know, how about we have a vote to determine if Takasugi is alive or not? Someone: Don't decide someone's life or death by voting! Gin: So that kid's exposed ass in the final chapter. Was it a revived Takasugi's ass? Or was it some abandoned kid we don't know's ass? Vote on whichever ya want. Text: Takasugi's Ass Unknown's Ass Forget that, let's play SEKIRO II [Two talleys] Someone: Sensei already put two votes in! Gin: Okay, let's go with Sekiro then. Handwritten: Me, too! I wanna play, too! Shin: ...Sensei. One vote for everyone being dead. Text: The end
Page 15: Box: Sorachi Hideaki's Handwritten Comment Right Page Text: Thank you so much for purchasing the Gintama Final Fanbook Koujien. This is a spoiler for the volume, so I kept this hidden at the end, but I'm gonna talk here about the end of Gintama on the pretense that everyone reading this read the final chapter. Originally, my plan for the last page was the 'backs' of the Yorozuya as they were running away. The idea being that a hero was someone who did what they had to do, and then left like the wind. I like characters that can talk with their backs, and I figured there are a lot of protagonists in shounen manga who have have grown up with the readers, so the story ends with the hero's now-grown backs burned into their memories as the leave. And even with the sadness that entails, I don't think it would be exaggerating to say I started drawing manga wanting to do that, too. But after I thought about it for a while, Sakata Gintoki just didn't seem like the kind of person who would do that. Like even if his back were there facing you, he would run out of things to say with his back and then start flapping away with his lips. Also, Gin-san isn't really a growing protagonist. He's an adult character standing just a bit past where the readers are, so seeing his 'back' is something common and fundamental for readers. So to just doggedly show that back again and leave the readers behind just didn't sit right with me. That's not how he is, he's gotta go back to where the readers are, I thought. So it's not a back that's breaking through the final chapter and leaving, it's him running back home towards the readers. Left Page Text: And when I made that last scene, I realized that I had broken through lots of deadlines and done two fake final chapters. I'm very sorry for making everyone wait so long. And thank you all for waiting around for the very end. Thanks to you, I was able to say goodbye to the Yorozuya in a way that didn't feel lonely. If I were to ask for something, it would be for everyone to leave just a little space in their hearts for them to always be there, being the same idiots as ever. Nothing would make me happier than that. Okay, then. See ya!

Page 26: Thank you so much for purchasing Gintama volume 77. And I'm so very sorry about making you wait such a long time for it. It's only thanks to everyone's warm comments cheering me on that with this volume, Gintama has finally reached its conclusion. I've finally broken through the goal tape and collapsed on the ground covered in blood. Thank you all so much. So, while I did reach the end, the path to getting there was a horror that I have trouble describing. I broke every last deadline like I was breaking through all the sliding paper doors of the houses of everyone in my big family. Like the one hoodlum kid that's in every big family, I caused tons of problems for all the readers and industry people. But nevertheless, because of the kind of person I am, like the daddy of a big family, I turned defiant and churned out this massive thick volume unlike anyone's ever seen. I really am so very sorry!! To all those alive right now, I'm so very sorry!!!!! To the whole of creation across the entire universe I'm so very sorry!!!!! To Big Daddy I'm so very sorry!!!!!! To very sorries, I'm so very sorry!!!!!! [The I'm so sorries get bigger as it goes along] Bottom: (Continues on Page 46) T/N: The Big Daddy here refers to Hayashiya Kiyoshi, a businessman who's nicknamed Big Daddy and was on a documentary series featuring his big family.
Page 46: So now that I'm giving an out-and-out I'm so very sorry... Huh? What even is "I'm so very sorry" I've repeated it so many times the words feel like they've lost all meaning. I'm so very sorry about this, but that's going to have to be it for the I'm-so-very-sorries. I'll use fantasy imagery to try to convey to you this utterly disastrous state of affairs. The hero Sorachi that was not able to defeat the Demon King after fighting for 14 long years in Jump had learned the extension-magic spell (Giga)dein and vowed that this time he was really going to beat the Demon King and made his way into the Demon King's castle. You all know that part, right? Okay, so, the hero's partner this time was Editor Isaka Level 33, and he was a pretty tough guy, somebody who'd fought on the legendary Grand Line. The type that'd be out there smoking a cigar with a calm look on his face even if he only had 3 HP left. So as the hero was asking stuff like 'Hey, so, this is all ok? For real?' as he was getting more and more brazen and rapid-fire casting Gigadein until he reached the save point right before the fight with the Demon King, which is when he realized his MP was at zero. 'Well, Tough Guy Ikasa Level 33 must've brought some items with him, right?' thought the hero as he turned to look over his shoulder. And there he saw Iksaka Level 33 smoking a cigar in a coffin. Er, actually the whole screen was kinda filled with coffins. There was just a long-ass line of coffins leading all the way back to the hero's far-off hometown of Aliahan. It was at this point where Hero Sorachi realized. 'I see... So the Demon King... was me, all along.' That's the story of February when it didn't end in Giga. Bottom: (Continued on page 68) T/N: Gigadein is the Kazap spell in the English Dragon Quest games. In Dragon Quest when your allies die they follow behind you in coffins. There's a hometown called Aliahan. But you don't need me to explain the Dragon Quest games, right? If you've read up to this point then you've had the equivalent of playing the entire 11 game series.
Page 68: So there you have it. Not Hero, but Demon King Sorachi was actually somewhat aware of what had transpired. When Tough Guy Isaka Level 33 had said 'Sir, just leave your back to me... HEEE!' he had let out what sounded very much like a scream at the last moment. And before that, when Editor Manabe Level 3 had said 'Sorachi-san, we will be by your side to the very end... HEEDEHBU,' he'd clearly said HEEDEHBU. And even before that, when Editor Naitou Level 31 had said '..................', he didn't actually say anything at all, all he did was be a corpse on the ground. Sorachi had pretended not to hear their screams and pressed forward. And when he'd finally turned to look behind him, the weight of all the coffins was so massive that he couldn't move forward anymore. But that's all with regard to Sorachi when he was a hero. Once he'd become a demon king, there was no stopping him. Since he wasn't a hero anymore, he couldn't equip Erdrick's armor or Erdrick's sword anymore. So he was now buck naked with nothing but a cypress stick at his crotch and the coffin with Isaka Level 33 in it as a shield as he ventured on to the final battle all alone. 'I may no longer be able to go back to being a hero that fights in Jump, but such things no longer matter. As long as I have at least one reader left, even if I have to use toilet paper as a manuscript, I must fight to the very end. Bwahahahahaha!' he said. And then a rotted Isaka Level 33 jumped out of the coffin and said, 'Kishishi! Oh great Demon King, I have the perfect item for one as evil as you!' After which he coughed a stinking, bloody, vomit-soaked item from his mouth. It was the forbidden demon tool, App Serialization. Bottom: (Continued on page 120)
Page 120: After having done so many evil deeds and no longer even being able to form a party anymore, Sorachi had become a demon king. But when his old comrade had still stuck with him despite become stinking Isaka Level 33 and then used this app to keep him alive, Demon King Sorachi could not let his efforts go to waste. I fought hard and postponed the final chapter twice. Even postponing the volume and fanbook in the process. I'd become an exemplary Great Demon King. A Great Demon King, also known as 'scum'. An app, by its nature of being serialized online, meant that if I wanted, I could break deadlines like crazy. For scum like me, it was truly a forbidden demon tool. With magazines, it has a physical product that has to be shipped and physically sold all over the country, so there was no way a deadline could be moved. But with an app, you're free to decide the day it goes out on your own, and the deadlines are flimsy at best. And sure enough, if you put scum in a situation like that, he'll take full advantage and stretch everything to the nth degree. Even the cypress stick at my crotch was soft and limp. But while I fought and fought, my attacks just weren't getting past his defenses, and rotted Isaka Level 33 was constantly casting Thwack at me. Darn it! Just one more! If I can just get one more attack in, I can win! What do I do...?!! Just as he was mired in a desperate situation that seemed to have no way out, from behind the scum came a huge cloud of Sweet Breath!! As the Demon King (enemy) cried out in agony and was halted in place, the Demon King (scum) turned around to look at what was behind him. There, he saw crawling out of the army of caskets, rotted Oonishi, rotted Saitou, rotted Jellybeans, rotted Babakonga, rotted Naitou, and rotted Manabe. The editors that had made Gintama with me during its many years had stood up. Bottom: *The 3rd editor, Nakasaki, was rotting off in Hokkaidou for work. (Continued on Page 122)
Page 122: There's an urban legend that says when a series in jump ends, all the editors that had had a hand in it over its run come to get the final manuscript, congratulate the author on a job well done, and present the author with flowers. But whoever would've expected they'd come to the studio of a mangaka that had been chased out of Jump? 'Quick, while our Sweet Breath has the enemy restrained! Gooo, scum!!' 'Those fools, poking their noses in where they don't belong... Blast it, my eyesight is getting foggy...' So then I roused by cypress stick and in a bright flash of spirit... 'Take thiiiis! My finaly attaaaaaack!!' I launched an attack with all my might right at the demon king's forehead! DODOOOOOON! With an eart-shaking thud, the demon king's massive body fell to the ground, I received 360,000 experience points, and I picked up seven or eight blank manuscript papers. Er, well I forget if I picked them up or not, but there were seven or eight blank pages left. If the rotted editors from the whole run of your series showed up and they seemed like they were ready to pick up the final manuscript right at that moment, even having bundles of flowers behind their backs and surrounding you, what course of action would you take if you still had 7~8 totally blank pages? Well, I decided to break my right leg. Bottom: (Continued on page 174)
Page 174: Now, in this situation, an amateur scum would break the bone in their right hand and say 'I can't draw manga anymore!' But of course nothing that convenient would just happen like that. They'd catch on to the lie in a heartbeat. But if you broke your *leg* and then couldn't draw because of the *pain* it was causing, it would come off as way more real. So I said just hold on for one hour for now, and said things like 'Aahh, dammit!' to look like I was trying to put up with the pain in my leg as I was drawing. And then an hour later, you say 'Ah, darn. Sorry, looks like it's gonna take a little longer. Would you mind leaving for a bit? I need to concentrate for this. Why don't you go get something to eat?' So you give off this feeling like you're annoyed at yourself and chase the editors off, and that's when you chain the door. Then you just turn your phone off and viola, confinement complete. It depends on how fortified your house is, but in my case I'd bought 6 or 7 hours. Then you call and say 'Oh, sorry, I forgot the battery in my phone ran out. But I'm all ready now.' and it'll take them two hours to get everybody together there again. At this point, the already rotting editors would now be totally rotted down to liquid form. Down to unrefined sake. Yeah, that's the mature thing to do. Then I was able to hand over the completed manuscript with total peace of mind. 'Sorry I kept you waiting so long. Tehh.' 'BLUB BLUB BLUB (You made us wait too long and now all the flowers are wilted!)' and so I was hit with a with the dried-up flowers you can see on the cover flap. Oookay, moving on... Bottom: (Continued on page 220)
Page 220: So, how did you like my depiction of that disaster that was really brutal even despite my fantasy spin on it? It's a pretty embarrassing story so I thought about just running away without touching on it, but I figured after causing problems for so many people, I just couldn't do that, so I went on for quite a while about it. I'm so very sorry to anyone who was made uncomfortable by that. So as you read, I committed a few acts for which it wouldn't be unusual for me to be disqualified from being a pro and get kicked out of the industry. I might be scolded for writing something like this, but it's been nearly a year since I left Jump, and while this past year of being allowed to keep going until I had an ending I was happy with was difficult at times, it reignited a feeling I'd lost track of in the hectic days of weekly serialization. It reminded me of how I'd felt back when I was a no-name, newbie author, drawing manga just because I liked doing it. And for that, it's time I'll always treasure. So to the editors and everyone involved who risked life and limb to set that up, to my staff who cut years off their lives to make Gintama with me, and most of all the readers who waited so long for me, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's thanks to all of you that I was able to go back to being just a gorilla that likes manga. I feel like starting it all again from being buck naked with nothing but a cypress G-pen. But the series royalties, those I'm never letting go of.
Bottom: (Continued on page 294)
Page 294: Okay then, thus concludes the final volume of Gintama, uh, and in fact all of Gintama itself. I didn't talk about the actual story at all, but I've already thrown all my emotions into this manga. I'll leave the rest to the Yorozuya. And last but not least, I want to say these words packed with love, gratitude, and penitence to everyone that supported Gintama these past 15 years. Thank you-corn poooop!! Signature: Sorachi Bottom: May we meet again someday.

Hey, now's not the time for playing games! Call Ou-chan and tell him to come here! Jou: Okay, listen closely... 'Heat' always flows from where the temperature is higher to where it's lower. Even if it's just a few degrees warmer than the temperature of the body, that 'heat' will always flow from higher to lower.
Page 40: Jou: But my 'Speed King' can 'store up' heat and its temperature in one place. Like 'the surface of paper money', or 'inside a battery'... or a 'finger tip', or the 'semicircular canals' in the inner-ear. Not a large amount of heat, but it can store it up in a place like that and keep it from dispersing. Mako: ? Jou: "And when that place is touched, it starts flowing again". Do you understand what I've said? Mako: What are you talking about? Why do you have Ou-chan's phone? No... are you... Higashikata... Jou: Ooh... so you know 'who' I am, but you don't understand what I'm talking about? Then I suppose you're not a 'Stand user'.

Page 14: Tsuru: just gonna die like this...? HAA HAA HAA HAA SFX: WBBL WBBL BBL Tsuru: Maybe the time's finally come... "The arrival of the illness"... I blacked out at the school gate with Mina-chan, too. But I didn't do that... I didn't have a grudge against Mina or like her or anything like that. But I can't tell anyone that... Not even Mommy or Grandpa...
Page 15: Tsurugi: I can't tell them that the 'time of the illness' is arriving. If I told my family, then Grandpa Norisuke might start talking about doing an 'equivalent exchange' himself. SFX: WBBL WBBL Kids: WAAAAHH! I'm hungryyy! Let's go get some food! SFX: KICK FLAP FLG BSTL BSTLE WBBl... Tsuru: 11 years old... When I'm that age will I be 'happier' or 'less happy' than other kids...?
Page 16: Tsuru: Or maybe about the same amount? 'What' do you need to be 'happy'? SFX: WBBL Ou: Hey, it's dangerous to go over there on your own, kid. Pretty sure that's a cliff over there. Like a freakin' high one. And steep as hell!
Page 17: Ou: Hey, sorry to bother you about this, but if you live around here maybe you'd know... I kinda need directions, ya see... Is there a 'dry cleaners' around? SFX: LICK LICK Tsuru: ? Ou: Ya know, a 'dry cleaners'. Know 'a one? SFX: TOSS Ou: I've been lookin' all over the place. There's definitely supposed ta be one around here... but I can't find it.
Page 18: Tsuru: What 'dry cleaners'? Ou: A 'dry cleaner' that made '200 million yen' in profits last year all from cleaning the worker's uniforms of a certain fruit processing company. I've got proof. They reported '200 million yen' at the tax office. But here's the kicker, they never actually did a job like that. ["did" in italics] Cleaning uniforms I mean. I did some searching and they were nowhere ta be found. That 'fruit processing company' and that 'dry cleaners' are running an operation together. They pretended to do a job to launder '200 million yen' of illegal 'cash' in a year's time.
Page 19: Ou: That's some messed up stuff, right?! If word gets out about this, they'll all be headed to the slammer. Tsu: ?! Um... Mister... Who are you...?! Ou: Like I sai~~d, just a guy lookin' for 'Damokan Dry Cleaning'. I've got the address but when I went ta the building all I found were a bunch 'a spider webs all over the place. Maybe I should check the 'Higashikata Fruit Parlor' instead... I'll check out the proprietor of the 'Higashikata Fruit Parlo~~r'...
Page 20-21: Ou: Hey, 'Tsurugi'-chan... I toldja, don't go over there. It's dangerous! You don't wanna fall off the cliff and die, do ya?! Tsuru: HAA HAA HAA SFX: CRMBL CRMBL Ou: He didn't fall off a cliff, but there's I guy I know who died right around there, ya kno~~w! He was a "ship's doctor". Tsuru: You know my name?! Who are you?!! Ou: I'm a surfer. The waves over there are some nice ones. I've always loved catching them.
Page 22: Ou: I'm fresh outta business cards, but the name's 'Oujirou', nice ta meetcha. So, they say that on an island so the South there's a fruit that lets your do an exchange ta cure an illness. A few days ago I remembered that that dead 'ship's doctor friend' of mine mentioned it a while back. I think he said something about equivalent exchanges? Supposedly there's somebody ["somebody" in italics] that's been smuggling those fruit on a cargo ship. Somethin' like that. Tsuru: HAA HAA .............. Ou: I'll bet you could get one or two hundred mil for one 'a those. Don'cha think? Ever seen a fruit like that, kid? ...Where da ya think I might find one? Tsuru: HAA HAA HAA
Page 23: Ou: Hey, you don't look so good. You feelin' okaaay? You're lookin' a bit shaky! Tsuru: HAA HAA HAA HAA S-Stay away from me! What do you want from me?! HAA HAA HAA Ou: Hey! Fer real, watch it! Kukuku Anywhere near that pine tree's not safe, kid! SFX: GARA GARA

Page 28: Tsu: Daddy, I was... just resting. I'm fine. If you're worried about my health, it's fine... But, about 'that thing'... The thing you said never to talk about in this house... I know... you said that, but... But 'something bad' is going on. Just now... a man I don't know started talking to me outside the house fences. He said his name was 'Oujirou'. And he said you're 'going to jail', Daddy. Jou: Jail...? Tsurugi: He said you were smuggling fruits and working with a dry cleaner to launder money.
Page 29: Jou: ........... Tsuru: HAA HAA HAA Joubin: Are you all right, Tsurugi? Did he 'do anything' to you? Tsu: I didn't tell him 'anything'... And he didn't do 'anything' to me, but... But... He was looking for the fruit...!! HAA HAA HAA Jou: I'm not going to make excuses about the things you just talked about... But tell me his name one more time... Tsu: 'Oujirou'.
Page 30: Jou: 'Oujirou'... Tsu: Do you know him? Jou: No, I've never heard that name before. How is it that somebody that knows all that showed up all of a sudden? Where in the world did he come from...? It's like he just came out of nowhere... ......

Not here in the rhinoceros beetle room either... There's no sign of anyone taking anything or coming in here at all... The only thing out of place is the footprints on the living room window sill.
Page 35: Jou: So even if someone did break in... it doesn't look like they knew anything. No one knows about it at all. So what were they 'after'. Why did they open the living room window a little? Tsurugi? What is that...? Tsuru: ... Jou: What's that on your 'hand'? Tsuru: My hand?
Page 36: Jou: There, on the back... Is it just dirty? Is that some kind of pattern? ...Where'd you get that from? Tsuru: Where...? Um... Hm... I don't know... I have no idea...

Is he really 89 years old?!! We've gotta expose that doctor's 'real identity'!! Yasu: He's got to be just pretending to run away but actually attacking 'somehow'!!
Page 4-5: SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO Rai: All my attention was on tracking him. The 'stretcher with the boy' in the ICU! The 'chair in the waiting room'! Then the 'umbrella stand' in front of the automatic door, when I was chasing after the head doctor, I touched those things and fell! SFX: DO DO
Page 6: Rai: At the time, I thought tripping over those things had all just been accidents. I thought they were "nothing worth thinking about"... I thought... I'd just slammed into some umbrella stand. SFX: GO GO GO Rai: But 'some' power is knocking into me in some abnormal way. ["knocking into me" in italics] SFX: GO GO GO GO Rai: This is a 'Stand ability'! It just might be possible that the 'head doctor' is causing himself to be "pursued"!

If you 'follow' him you'll knock into something! Jou: Mamezuku-san, 'what' is going to knock into us exactly? Rai: I told you, just 'something'!
Page 10: Rai: Jousuke! You said you 'saw' a Stand on the staircase. I got a glimpse of it, too! I 'saw' it above the umbrella stand! He's inviting us the "pursue" him again!

Maybe they'll believe you. ...But if we stick around here, the police will come investigate and arrest Jousuke. And given how draw-out him getting arrested would be, I can't say I'm a fan. It's 6 days until the harvest of the New Rokakaka. The fruit will be ripe before he gets out. SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO

Page 36: Tooru: No, I understand. I was a ways off, but I could see what happened. That guy with the cigarette approached Jousuke then he went and fell over on his own. Then most unfortunately his already injured neck that was undergoing treatment, broke. Jousuke-kun didn't do anything. I can testify to that. SFX: UUUU UUUU Yasu: ...Really?!

Okay, then Makori~~n, at least stick around for a dri~~~nk! Woman: Oh you~~ You can be such a glutton for attention someti~~~mes.
Page 39: SFX: SAH! Woman: But seriously, though! She pisses me off... SFX: BLUB BLUB BLUB Woman: Honestly... I just wanna kill that friggin' 'Mitsuba'. "Higashikata Mitsuba"... That shitty woman...
Page 40: Woman: 'Forepaw'. She said that. 'Move your forepaw'. At the school... in front of everybody... She dared insult me like that! Guy: Forepaw? Woman: My hand! She was talking about my cute little 'hand'! Guy: Oh, I get it. Forepaw. Woman: That property... right around there... By the harbor. That hilly area that gradually rises up from the coast. That land's really valuable. It's got great geographical features.
Page 41: Woman: That's the 'Higashikata Family's' land. SFX: HYOKO Woman: If you wanna know why I got on good terms with that 'Norisuke' fellow of the Higashikata family, it's because of that wonderful land. And... RRRRrrrrr! That woman! All she is is a wife!! And she said that to me?! It makes me so, so mad! SFX: GAN GANN Guy: You're cute when you're mad thoooough, Makoriiin!
Page 42: Woman: ...If someone built a 'casino' over here, you could be sure it would be a massive success! It's quality villa land! The harbor! The train station! With an adjacent shopping mall! It could be sooooo much more economically effective that way compared to using it for something like a fruit orchard! The "Higashikata Family"... That family that's been going for so many generations must have 'some kind of problem'. They might be weakened after that orchard fire. I'm sociable, aren't I?! Everything was going so well... But then that 'incident with Tsurugi' that happened at the school! Not that I really care 'who' it was that crushed Mina-chan between the iron gates.
Page 43: Woman: I just through if I 'got in close' with Norisuke then 'good things might happen'! But that stupid bitch, "Mitsuba"!! Guy: Hey, don't cry~~~ Woman: She insulted me and she got in the way of my plans! Well, I will say that the rumors about how, as a child, the eldest son 'Joubin' killed a classmate in order to cure his incurable disease is pretty interesting, though... Guy: Say, Makoriiin... Isn't the view from this terrace great? And you've got a condo and a baseball team... What more can the owner of the Seiten Birdies ask for...?
Page 44: Woman: Like I said, I want that hilly land. The land this condo and the stadium are on is honestly not good. The foundation is weak. We had to bend the law a little and we only just barely managed to get a building permit. Everything past the Wall Eyes was totally fine even with the earthquake. Even the tsunami stopped before it reached there. And the 'Higashikata family' has that spot.
Page 45: Guy: Uhhh, did you say something about an 'incurable disease'? What was that about a, uh... person killing a classmate because of an incurable disease? Woman: Like I said, it's juuust a 'rumor'. In the world of children's legends, somewhere on that 'Wall Eyes' land there's supposed to be ground that cures diseases... If you're buried in that ground, you can do an exchange and you'll be cured. According to the rumor, 'Joubin' transferred his disease to his classmate... and got better. Supposedly they killed the classmate and transferred the disease to him. Oh darn... look at the time! I've got to get to the school to pick my daughter up! I'll come relax with you in the bath next time! SFX: GYUUUU BEGIH
Page 46: Woman: Aaah, Ohjirou-chan! I'm sorry... Your fingers! I'll make sure to buy you a whole bunch of new ones later... I'm so sorry. I'll get you wa~~~y better ones! Ou: Nah, it's fiiiiine... This ain't a big deal, Makori~~n... You're always saying how being natural makes one 'happy' right? By the way, Makorin... About that incurable illness 'rumor'... Mako: Rumor...?
Page 47: Ouji: You think that was 'equivalent exchange'? I had a surfing buddy a long time ago... though he's dead now. He was a "ship's doctor" and he told me a story about that. But if I remember right, it wasn't about ground, it was about a 'fruit'. Insert: Is he a man of the jacuzzi or a man of the land...?

SFX: CREEP CREEP SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH Jou: "Tsurugi"... SFX: RSTL Mitsu: That's right. ..."Tsurugi"... That boy! You know... he's been acting strange ever since then. I'm certain he's hiding 'something' from me...!! It's like something is chasing after him...
Page 7: Jou: ............ Tsurugi is... 'hiding something'? Mitsu: Regarding what happened at school yesterday... That boy is definitely hiding something. SFX: SHF Jou: Oh... that, huh? Mitsu: That?! Jou: No... it's nothing. Is this about that bullshit someone was saying about 'Tsurugi' being responsible for Mina-chan getting crushed between an iron gate? What do you think about that? Mitsu: ...What do I think...?
Page 8: Mitsu: Isn't it obvious?! I'm going to defend Tsurugi. All those people at the school get on my nerves... They'll make decisions based purely on mood because they're so desperate to make someone a villain to sacrifice. They're contemptible people. But... Jou: But? But what? Mitsu: I was... quiet about it yesterday, but... On the field trip they all went on, Mina-chan had insulted 'Tsurugi'. She said something to 'Tsurugi' that she shouldn't have in an insult. Jou: ............ Mitsu: It was about grandma Kaato being a 'child killer' and so 'Tsurugi' is the grandson of one... They were teasing him about that, apparently.
Page 9: Jou: ............ Mitsu: ....So to be honest... 'Tsurugi' had a motive.
Page 10: Jou: There is 'good' and 'bad' luck in this world. ....That's... something I've been told.
Page 11: Jou: There are situations where if you'd gotten somewhere one second sooner... you might have 'been in an accident' or 'avoided an accident'... Or you 'meet' or 'don't meet' someone important to you there... Where the result is 'good' or 'bad'. And the cause is 'good' or 'evil'. There are situations like that... I've been told. But that is a misapprehension. A 'misunderstanding' formed by this society made up of people living together. Once you clear away everything extraneous and view each individual in individual situations... what we find existing around us is...
Page 12: Jou: simply... 'strength' and 'weakness'. Good and bad luck... Good and evil, legal and illegal... you can forget all that. All there is are the strong that 'survive' and the weak which are 'destroyed'. Those two, and nothing more. And you see... 'Tsurugi' understands that. As the eldest son of the Higashikata family, he understands what it means to 'become strong'. And 'now' the Higashikata family is in the process of becoming even 'stronger'. Mitsu: Becoming 'even stronger'...? ? .......... Jou: Whether the climate or the era we're in changes,
Page 13: Jou: ...or how the rules and laws of society change, whatever cruel enemy has set foot on the Higashikata family's land, we are without mercy. Because we always get our hands on 'strength'. Tsurugi understands that. I can tell. So rest assured... Because of the 'strength' he has, 'Tsurugi' wouldn't do something like crush Mina-chan between those iron gates. Tsurugi doesn't have time to develop any motive from being teased or insulted. Mitsu: Doesn't have time?

Still, that 'lab' in the hospital where they were cultivating those Rokakaka.... SFX: GO GO GO GO Mitsu: Yasuho-san said there was a 'new branch' of the Rokakaka somewhere and she and the others were looking it. And that 'head doctor'... was in the 'lab's' access history. But why would he come to the school gate or the Higashikata family grounds? What was he doing? SFX: GO GO GO GO

But you can be this TG University Hospital's Head Doctor is the one directing the dark side of this hospital. SX: DO DO DO DO Rai: That head doctor is the mastermind who 'Woo Tomoki', "Urban Guerilla", and "Poor Tom", those 'three' Rock Humans, were being managed by. That includes being the sole cultivators of Rokakaka fruit, and maybe even 'Damo Tamaki' and 'Yotsuyu' were subordinates that were part of his organization. Jou: He's heading for the courtyard escalator... Let's go! Yasu: Mm! SFX: DO DO SFX: DRIP
Page 28: Rai: That 'head doctor' is a Stand user. No doubt about it... He's trying to do 'something' right now... but we've nearly cornered him.... FInally.

You'd said he was 'interfering with our pursuit of the head doctor' before, but it doesn't look like he was involved at all. Jou: Yeah... Yasu: And... If there was anything going through your head to make you say something like that, then let me just say... there's nothing going on between me and him. Yasu: We dat ed a long time ago, and I really liked him at the time, but now I don't have any feelings for him at all. Right now I just want to find the 'Rokakaka branch'. I want to be of help to Holly-san and everyone... And I want to do it for me, too. Jou: I'm not suspecting you of anything, Yasuho-chan... Let's find that 'branch'. Yasu: Okay!
Page 32: Rai: Huh?!! SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO Rai: JOusuke? Rai: Makezuku-san, the other way! Behind you!

Here we go again... which way? Which way did he go? Yasu: There're cameras pointed at the entrance. Up here and in the part of the lobby that leads here. I'll infiltrate the video data and take a look. SFX: UH UU BASHHU Yasu: Jousuke, take a look at my phone! SFX: BUONN Box: Camera 1

I can't see his face. So I can't identify him.
Page 37: Guys: Here's a camera from another angle. He's walking pretty slow... The speed you'd expect from an 89 year-old. Box: Camera 3 Guys: This camera's no good either. I still can't make out his face. Yasu: Then after that, there's us... Which way did the head doctor go? Box: Camera 1 SFX: BZZZZ BZZZZZ BZZZZZ Screen: Incoming Call Tooru-kun Reject Accept SFX: BZZZZ

Anyhow, he's not on the camera located on the other side. But that head doctor was going right when he went out the entrance. Let's check the camera on the right side of that pole. SFX: SAH Jou: ......
Page 40: Tooru: Yasuho-chan! When we met up before and I touched your hand, I knew. You... You felt the same way I do. I'm sure of it. I feel it even more than in the old days when we first met... I love you. Yasuho-chan, what you said back there, it sounded like you'd really made up your mind about what you want to happen between us and what you want me to do now.
Page 41: Tooru: I decided. I'm making a vow, I want to go back to how we were when we first met. I... have no idea why I split up with you a year ago like that... I regret that every day. Phone: Picture Tooru: Once I get off work, I'm going to go see you... Let's meet at that place where we have all those memories together. I sent you a photo of it. Let's meet there.
Page 42: Jou: ............ Yasu: This is just so strange. He's not on the camera over here either. I'm sure that head doctor went outside... But he didn't go this way either. SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO GO Rai: Just a minute ago.... I knocked into an 'umbrella stand'... and got my leg caught in it...
Page 43: Yasu: ............ Jou: ? Rai: And right before that When I was transfixed on catching that guy, my body got caught in a chair in the waiting lobby. I'd only... bumped into it. That's all...

Page 3-4: SFX: DO DO DO DOD DO Someone: No matter what it takes, we'll track it down. We're going to find that 'New Rokakakaka'. SFX: DON Guys: There were only four people here in TG University Hospital that entered the "Rokakaka lab" in the "back of the 3rd floor gynecology department". Three of them have already turned to dust; they're gone from this world. There's only one left!
Page 5: Guys: And that is this hospital's "head doctor". Name: Ake [cut off] toru [cut off on left] Jou: Yasuho-chan... Yasu: ...It's okay, I'm fine. I'll do it... He's in this 'hospital' somewhere... I'll look for that 'head doctor' with you. But...
Page 6: Yasu: I haven't changed my mind about how... I think the new Rokakaka 'branch' is 'at' the Higashikata estate. Guy: Excuse me, but if you don't have a prior appointment, I'm afraid I cannot let you meet with this hospital's head doctor. Hmm, let me see~~~~ I'm afraid the head doctor is booked full for today~~~~ Does next Wednesday work for you? Rai: What? So you're saying... the head doctor is here? Right now...? Don't tell me he's... in one of these rooms? Down this way?
Page 7: Guy: Um, sir! Excuse me... Please wait. You cannot go barging in there. Just what business do you have with him? SFX: GUIIH SFX: GLANCE Guys: ......
Page 8: Rai: Well you see... it's my left hand. Take a look. I've lose four fingers, I'm afraid. So, I thought maybe he could grow my fingers back. So really must have the head doctor examine me. Guy: P-Please wait! You're welcome to go to the reception of our outpatient department! SFX: GIKURI Guy: The honorary position... The head doctor is not currently involved in any actual medical practice. Rai: Well, what about this...? The head doctor's name is "Akefu Satoru". On the hospital's website, it lists a long, impressive career history. He's even received medical awards. This part about him being 89 years old, is that correct? Guy: ...Yes... That's true, but... Rai: I see. I really would like to see the head doctor, if just for a moment. Hey... take a look at this website, would you?
Page 9: Rai: There's not a single image of the head doctor on the site. Not anywhere. We've been trying really hard to find him... But we don't know what he looks like. Look... You can look all over this site and you'll never find a photo of the head doctor's face. Why is that? Have you... met with the 'head doctor' today? Guy: Of course. He's here working. Rai: Has the head doctor met with any of the other staff here? Does he seem in good health? Guy: What an odd line of questioning... Who are you exactly?
Page 10: Guy: And I believe there is a photo of his face on the site. Somewhere... Rai: No! Not a single one! Guy: Huh? SFX: SU... Guy: Head doctor... Rai: !?
Page 11: Guy: I don't believe he was scheduled to go out anywhere today... Rai: What?! Who are you talking about?! Which person who's going out? Guy: The head doctor. He's stepping out somewhere. He's taken his white coat off.
Page 12: Jou: Head doctor. Yasu: That elderly man that just passed us? Rai: That's "Akefu Satoru". SFX: GO SFX: GO GO GO GO Rai: Hey, wait!!
Page 13: Rai: Head Doctor! Wait!! Guy: He's at quite an advanced age. He's quite hard of hearing... And please don't yell in here! SFX: KASHA KASHA KASHA
Page 14: Rai: Jousuke... Yasuho, It looks like the head doctor has appeared. But, as I'm sure you know, be on guard. Jou: The Rokakaka lab got wrecked. ...I never expected he'd be here in the hospital right now, but... what if he's not an enemy, he's just an old head doctor? What if maybe we find a 'trap' waiting for us? Yasu: I can't see his face... I couldn't get it in the shot. Guys: Okay, let's follow him. But the first things we need to do are ascertain 'who he is', if he's really a 'young person', and where the 'new Rokakaka branch' is.

Page 32: Jou: When we opened the door and came in here, you looked like you were cleaning but then you bumped the stretcher into us on purpose.
Page 33: Yasu: Jousuke? What in the world...? Too: Well this kinda came out of nowhere. Jou: You're the one that came out of nowhere. You're always showing up out of the blue. That's what I'm talking about here. You've been "interfering" with us. Too: Out of the blue? ? That's odd. Uh, I work part time at this hospital, you know. Yasu: Jousuke?

Page 40: Screen: Camera 1 Camera 1 Woman: Just after this image taken by the cameras installed at the school gate the heavy iron gates moved causing the major accident where Mina-chan's body was pressed between them.
Page 41: Woman: Luckily, Mina-chan's injuries were minor... Just some light scratches. She's recovering quite well at the hospital. But, most regrettably, ---Mina-chan's mother saw her child bleeding. She collapsed from the shock and was brought into the same hospital. Higashikata-san, do you have 'any opinions' to give regarding this image? Mitsu: Opinions...?
Page 42: Mitsu: By asking my 'opinions'... What are you implying exactly? Also, it was a 'major accident' but also it was 'light scratches'? Isn't that a bit contradictory? Woman: The situation is very serious!! Everyone who was near Mina-chan at the time has said that the one that pushed the 'iron gates', Higashikata-san, was 'Tsurugi-chan'. Mitsu: Not quite 'everyone'. While everyone was scared to death out there, this idiot forcibly coaxed "just one girl" into saying that. Woman: Tsurugi-chan is shown in the cameras as being close to the iron gates! Mitsu: Your child is in it, too.
Page 43: Mitsu: All that's shown here is Tsurugi simply passing by the iron gate. I'm saying Mina-chan got herself caught in between the gates on her own and Tsurugi is completely uninvolved! People: Those heavy gates did not move on their own! Someone: Everyone, please calm down. Let's talk this over calmly like adults. Mitsuba-san, don't worry. You've always been kind to our whole family. How is Norisuke-san doing? Mitsuba-san, you know how I'm upbeat and a good mixer right? I'm good friends with Mina-chan's mother, too.
Page 44: Woman: It really is a blessing Mina-chan was only lightly scathed like that. I'll be an in-between for you and Mina-chan's mom and get this whole thing smoothed out. 'Kay? It would be my pleasure... you can just relax, Mitsuba-san, don't worry. Mitsu: Move it. This. Please don't put your hand on my shoulder all familiar like that. Oh, not hand, your forepaw, move it. Woman: Forepaw...? Mitsu: Listen...
Page 45: Mitsu: The only thing my Tsurugi did yesterday was participate in some outdoor activities. She didn't do anything or say anything! You want to mediate and 'smooth things over'...? Don't spout that nonsense to me! You, or you, or you! Or any of your children! If you ever... lay a single finger on my Tsurugi without justifiable grounds again, I'll break those fingers without a second thought. Goodbye!
Page 46: Woman: She's a real overly-demanding mother, isn't she...? Woman: Oh, it's going to be a whole big thing now, isn't i~t? I mean, the evidence and the motive all point to her child 'Tsurugi', don't they...? BUBAH!! SFX: BASHAA BASHAAAH Woman: WooAAAAAAAH!! HOTOTOTOTOTOT!!

Page 2: Narr: Located in the lush green Northeastern section of S City, Morioh, it is adorned with an emblem symbolizing the wisdom of medical science---- 'The snake and the sword'. The total site area is 65,000 square meters. Insert: A suspicious backdrop... Narr: TG University University Hospital was established in 1911 and later reborn in 2009 with a new building. It currently handles an average of 1,521 outpatients and 444 sickbed patients per day. With a foundation of ideals in humanity and benevolence, it has 39 medical departments. Background: Medical Departments ■Internal Medicine Initial Examinations ■Hematology ■Mental Health ■Gastroenterological Medicine Narr: The 220 doctors and 1425 nurses on staff
Page 3: Narr: are giving their full support towards the well-being of the area and to allow everyone to enjoy good health as they go about their daily lives. Rai: They've also got 3 restaurant and cafes, two convenience stores, and a post office, a library, and a rehab gym. Yasu: And in a separate building, there's a hot spring and a massage parlor. I wouldn't mind living in this place. Someone: Where's Mitsuba-san? Hm? We're gonna get going soon...
Page 4: Rai: That Rokakaka room in the back of obstetrics examination room, there were only "4 names" recorded as having unlocked its door. Woo Tomoki (34), orthopedic surgery. Specializing in neurosurgery. Shimosato Ryou (38), internal medicine. Specializing gastrointestinal diseases. Text: Shimosato Ryou [Cut off on the left] Rai: Poor Tom (57), obstetrics. Specializing in infertility treatment. And the mysterious head doctor of the hospital (89). Those are the only people who went into that lab.
Page 5: Text: Woo Tomoki Shimosato Ryou Poor Tom Rai: Shimosato Ryou... you can read those kanji as ge-ri-ra. So 'Urban Guerrilla' was... this guy?! And Poor Tom is 'Poor Tom' of course. The only people researching the Rokakaka... were these four people in the room's access history. Besides the patients, these were the only four people that went into that room. And 'Urban', 'Poor Tom', and 'Woo Tomoki' are no longer of this world. Yasu: But this 'head doctor'... There's no photo of him... What kind of person is he? I'm doing searches on him but... for some reason I'm not finding any photos of the head doctor anywhere. Jou: 89 years old?! Rai: His age doesn't matter. His name doesn't either. He's a Rock Human after all.
Page 6： Rai: The 'other person' in the ambulance during the fire was him. Let's look for this head doctor person. He's got to be the one who has the new Rokakaka 'branch'. Yasu: Mamezuku-san, you've got the wrong idea about the location of the 'branch'. I'm telling you, it's got to be on the Higashikata Estate somewhere!
Page 7: Yasu: Woo Tomoki attacked Mitsuba-san and me in order to find the 'branch'. They don't have it! Rai: Hey, uh... I'll say this one more time just to be clear... Don't do anything uncalled-for, Hirose Yasuho. Yasu: ... Rai: I believe Jousuke told you this back in the hospital lobby, don't do 'anything'! 'Wait' for us! Because of how you disrupted the situation, finding the location of the 'branch' has become even more of a pain. Yasu: You're wrong! The 'branch' is on the Higashikata estate!! Rai: Do you have a suspect or anything? 'Joubin' is certainly pretty suspicious. He very well may be the one who lit the 'fire' in the orchard.
Page 8: Rai: But... he's not the one who took the 'branch'... it's someone 'else'! It's not on the Higashikata estate! Thanks to the fire we all ended up safe, but the new Rokakaka 'branch' was unmistakably taken right in front of the eyes of Jousuke and I! I'm the only one that can discern that 'branch'! Yasu: It's on the estate! Jousuke, back me up here! Jousuke? Jou: ...........
Page 9: Rai: The "hair ornament". You told us that when you were a girl, you were attacked by a rock creature. But was that 'hair ornament' even real? Yasu: ? Where'd this come from all of a sudden? Rai: That could've just been the result of stress between you and your parents, don't you think? We don't need outside issues like that mixing us up. Yasu: I don't get... what you're trying to say here. Are you saying I hallucinated the whole thing?! Rai: Maybe... Listen, we "don't have time" here. That 'branch' is going to grow a fruit in just over 10 days! We don't need you butting in with stuff like this! ...That's what I'm saying!
Page 10: Jou: Yasuho-chan.. I'm really glad that you and Mitsuba-san got out of this hospital safe and sound. But I'm not sure about how likely it is that 'Joubin' having the 'branch'. When that fire was going on, the whole family was locked in the house in a 'near death' state. It's just not realistic. Right now... I feel like the one we should be following is the 'mysterious head doctor'. Even if 'Joubin' is the culprit, ...He's connected to these Rock Humans. Given that, we'll reach Joubin sooner or later!
Page 11: Jou: Yasuho-chan. Let's look for a photo of this head doctor's face. SFX:BAAA A A Guy: Oh... Huh?! Yasuho-chan... SFX: GACHAH
Page 12: Guy: So... looks like you guys found each other. That's good to hear. You said your phone broke, right? Are you okay? Yasu: ...Tooru-kun. Oh... right. Thanks for your help back there. So... you work here part time? Too: Yeah, bringing stuff in and out... But I'm also a med student. Yasu: Huh?! So you got into the med school? That's great! Is the campus in S City? I'm on the Morioh campus... in the school of humanities and social sciences. Guy: Say, uh... what sort of relationship do you have with that guy?
Page 13: Too: Are you two going out? Yasu: Huh?! No... we're not. But I don't want to talk about that sort of thing right now. To: O~~h? These hands of yours... They're really always from 'above'... Yasuho-chan. ...Whenever I reach my hand out to you, you always instinctively put your hand on top of mine without saying a thing... Did you notice your were grabbing my hand?
Page 14: To: It's from 'above'. Even your thumb is 'above' mine. You really haven't changed at all from back then. Our fingers are interlocking! Yasu: ...... SFX: SAH
Page 15: Guy: Make sure you get your cell phone fixed, Yasuho-chan. I hope I see you again later! Yasu: ...... Rai: Hm? Jousuke, SFX: BUUU Rai: Wasn't he... the guy from before? It was thanks to him that we were able to get to the lab. Jou: ...... Rai: Is he an old acquaintance of Yasuho's? Jou: He's her 'ex-boyfriend'. That's what she told me.
Page 16: Rai: So~~~ You could says you've had the same score? Jou: ......!! Rai: ...This is important! ...This guy just showed up all of a sudden... Maybe we should check up on who he is. Though it was thanks to his message... ["was" in italics] that we were able to save Yasuho and Mitsuba-san from 'Woo Tomoki's' attack.
Page 18: Ha: GYAAAAAAAAAA! GROOOOOOSS!! SFX: GABAAA Ha: That was you, Joushuu!! Jou: Hm? Ha: You just did something to me, didn't you?! Jou: The heck you talkin' abou~t?
Page 19: Ha: I know it was you! I'm gonna get the DNA analyzed! Jou: Hwaah? Ha: I swear, one of these days, you're gonna screw up, get sued, get arrested, get in debt, and your whole world's gonna come tumbling down!

Page 20: Jou: GIiIIYAAAA SFX: DERO DERO DERO Jou: AAH! AAA! AAAH! Narr: "Stand abilities." They are a reflection of the shape and state of one's heart.
Page 21: Narr: The power of the heart that controls it. And they are normally kept deep within the heart. Like hiding the underwear you have on, even if you know about them, their existence never appears on the surface. They are implicit and are never brought up in conversation. Even among families that live together. Even in front of those you love.
Page 22: Narr: But sometimes, there are changes in the heart. The heart, along with a Stand ability, feels things like fatigue and age as time goes on... Sometimes, when one accidentally steps in the wrong place... something that one had meant to keep shut deep inside them will boil over like lava from a volcano. A Stand is a form of energy. When that happens, no matter how desperately you try to stop it, you won't be able to.
Page 23: Narr: You won't be able to control it until it stops at its destination...

Page 31: Mitsu: It's me! Let's get going! Tsurugi! Over here! SFX: DRG DRG Mitsu: When you heard the name 'Mount Interesting', everyone thinks like 'particularly' is in its name when they come here. Mitsu: So... was it interesting? Tsuru: Particularly interesting. Today they taught us flag signaling and how to catch a fish using a plastic bottle trap. Woman: Um... Are you Tsurugi-chan's mother?
Page 32: Woman: If you have a bit of time... I'd like to talk to you about... Handwritten: Ah! Mitsu: If it's about my nose, don't worry. The former Miss Cherry is in the past now. Woman: ...... What I wanted to talk about... is Tsurugi-chan. There was some trouble during today's outdoor activities.
Page 33: Woman: He wasn't being violent or anything like that, but... Apparently a number of our members were teasing Trusugi-chan. Kids: He~y! Tsurugi-chan, doesn't your grandma, li~~~ke... know a lot about that... ["that" in italics] That thing... We'd really like if she could teach us about iiit. "How to bury a child's corpse." SFX: ZAAA ZAAA ZAAA ZAAAA ZAAA
Page 34: Kids: They never found the kid she killed, did they? Hey, is it true that the kid didn't rot and didn't have any smell? Tsurugi-chan, how do you bury somebody so that happens?! You can ask your grandma that, right?
Page 35: Kids: Oh~~~~ For you, that's a pretty scary face! What gross eyes! Are you gonna go ape-shit on us? What?! You gonna say something to me? Go on, go crazy, dumbass! SFX: BISHIH! Girl: I heard a rumor that what really happened was your dad was the one that did the killing, back when he was a kid. And your grandma just took the blame in his place. SFX: HOP
Page 36: Girl: KYAAAAA AA~~~~~HN! Kids: Ahahahahahaha Mina-chan!! You okaaay? Ahahahahahahahaha! SFX: DOH BOOON Mitsu: What you just said... Miss Leader, just what exactly are you trying to say...? I honestly haven't the slightest idea.
Page 37: Mitsu: My 'Tsurugi' didn't say a single word in that whole story. And he didn't do anything, either. It sounds like some kids just made a ruckus and then fell in a river on their own. Nothing more. Woman: .......... Yes... That's right, m'am. ...I'm just letting you know that there was an incident like that that happened today. Mitsu: If it's about the incident of 'child murder' that have happened in Morioh some 20 years ago you're talking about, let me assure you that my 'Higashikata Family' was not involved. Tsurugi has no grandmother. We've long since cut ties. Before any of that came to light. And I won't tolerate you coming to me about this subject again. Understand...? I won't tolerate it...
Page 38: Woman: I'm simply speaking as the leader, that there 'was trouble' between Tsurugi-chan and the others. I cannot overlook that. Mitsu: The trouble no longer exists. And, Leader? I'm going to have you fired. Woman: Huh...? Mitsu: Tsurugi! Come, we're going home! Hm? Tsurugi, where are you?
Page 39: Kids: S-Sensei! There's big trouble! ...At the school gate...! A-An ambulance! Please call an ambulance!! Someone: Someone, call an ambulance! A-At the iron gate! People: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO Yasu: There's billions of yen's worth of these things here... Well, it'd definitely make us some pretty major thieves, but... let's take all of these and go! Not just the fruits, but the trees along with them!
Page 6: Yasu: What's all the stuff on that wall...? ? ? ? Is this place like a laboratory...? And where is that 'branch' that was supposedly stolen during the fire...? The 'New Roakaka branch'....? It doesn't look like it's here... I don't think we'll know for sure until we Mamezuku-san gives a look around for it, but... I really don't think they have it here. SFX: GLANCE GLANCE Mitsu: I... have to eat one of these. Right now!
Page 7: Yasu: Okay. But just to repeat... I want to make sure you understand... There's an incalculable risk... Nobody can control what parts get exchanged. Mitsu: It's okay. If I just run away from this with the excuse 'I didn't know'... I'll never live it down. I already... have feelings of love welling up in me.

He went through the water out those irrigation sprinklers... into the stems of the Rokakakas! Mitsuba-san, Woo Tomoki is inside your body! Mitsu: Yes, Yasuho-san. I know.

If it's the flu, then your throat will turn red and swell up and you'll have a high temperature... and gets aggravated, it can turn into pneumonia. The Rokakaka's equivalent exchange is certain to heal any inflammation or lesion, no matter how bad, but... Yasu: The one talking is 'Wu'! SFX: SHUH SHUH SHUH
Page 22: Woo: it will not eliminate the virus itself. ["itself" in italics.] SFX: SHUH Woo: A 'Rokakaka' cannot cure one of viruses or germs. A virus is a living thing, after all... One with many types, and one which grows. If one could use a Rokakaka to eliminate a virus itself, it would be even more incredible.

All this, just for the Rokakaka fruit. And for the 'Rock Humans.' Yasu: There's all sorts of viruses contaminating this room!! And 'he' might still be around in fragment form in the dirt or the water! 'He' can make himself into pieces as small as he wants so he can escape! Jou: Those soap bubbles I shot out before, Yasuho-chan, they had 'medicinal cement' mixed into them! It's a type of reinforced "cement" they use for filling chipped bones in joints or holes from cavities. Just capturing his head in that should be plenty. Once the cement hardens, it's semipermanent. It'd been left out in the other room. Woo: Uh Vuh UUH! SFX: DROOOP
Page 38: Wuy: U- UGAAH!! SFX: DROOP DROOP DROOP SFX: GACHIIIN Mame: Jousuke... The new Rokakaka 'branch' is here somewhere. We need to find it... Yasu: His name is Woo Tomoki! But the stolen 'branch'... I don't think it's anywhere in this hospital! He doesn't have the 'branch'!!
Page 39: Yasu: Forget this room! We've got to get out now or we're going to get infected!!! Mame: You're right... It's not here. All of the 'Rokakaka' being grown here are the old type. SFX: PAAA SU AH
Page 40: SFX: BEBAH ZUBAH DOBAH DOBAH SFX: GACHIH SFX: ZUN... Mame: Now all of the Rokakaka here are no longer usable. They can be destroyed... But how are you so sure... that the 'branch' is not anywhere in this hospital? How is it someone like you can differentiate that 'branch' with other 'branches'?
Page 41: Jou: Yasuho-chan, the 'branch' has to be here somewhere. I'm certain I saw an ambulance worker take the 'branch' during the orchard fire! Yasu: Yeah, but... Woo Tomoki was also looking for the 'branch'. ["also" in italics.] He still hadn't found the new Rokakaka 'branch'. He was trying to use 'Mitsuba-san's' body. Even Woo didn't know where the 'branch' is! His plan was to manipulate Mitsuba-san from inside her body in order to investigate the 'Higashikata estate'. Jou: ............. The Higashikata estate? Why would he be investigating there? The ambulance person has the 'branch'! Yasu: Woo was one of the men in that ambulance... And Woo didn't take it!
Page 42: Yasu: Is it possible that someone switched the 'branches'...? ["switched" in italics.] During the fire... 'Woo Tomoki' who came in the ambulance and the fleeing 'Poor Tom' and you, 'Jousuke', chasing after him, maybe all of you wrongly assumed that that 'branch' was the new Rokakaka 'branch' and some other party had switched it with a totally different 'branch'?! Jou: ...... Some other party...? Mame: Somebody switched the 'branches'?! No, there's no way! The 'branch' never left my sight back then! Jou: Yasuho-chan, who do you think that might be? Yasu: .........
Page 43: Yasu: It looks like Woo Tomoki at least... had a 'suspect'... Mitsu: Yasuho-san, my... 'equivalent exchange'... It's still happening but... thank goodness... it exchanged with my nose.

Page 7: Woo: You all are the 'evil' ones. I want to state clearly... that the incorrect ones are you and 'Higashikata Jousuke'. I, 'Woo Tomoki'... do not fail. SFX: DO DO DO Woo: A high school girl with a pimple on her nose might come to this hospital sincerely wanting to be treated. So will a victim of a hit-and-run car collision. Everyone from a patriotic olympic athlete who twisted their ankles the day before a match to patients with late-stage cancer have a "desire" to be healed. That desire is powerful for each of them in their own way. SFX: BU WA A A A Woo: And I always grant that 'desire'. I never fail to. I grant the 'wishes' to everyone's satisfaction.
Page 8: Woo: This "equivalent exchange" is in the public interest. But it is simply an absolute 'secret'. SFX: A AA A A A A A A Woo: The Rokakaka's 'secret' is nothing but a boon for society. And a public good is not 'evil'. So even if something is 'secret', or whatever vulgar actions must be done to allow for it, if it is a public good, then it is forgiven. A fetus in its 14th weeeek... Mitsuba-saaan... You need not worry over it... Everything is fiiiine... The 14th week is legal. And as your powerful 'desirrre'...

Page 24: Mitsu: Deep into an examination room in the gynecology department, I saw them being grown. Those 'fruits' were being grown in that room. The 'Rokakaka'. Yasu: Mitsuba-san... If that room exists, then I'm sure we'll be able to make it in time. I honestly believe that. But first there's one decision that needs to be made. And it's by you, Mitsuba-san. If we find the 'Rokakaka', will you "eat one"?
Page 25: Yasu: If you... do an 'equivalent exchange'... 'one more time'... I'm sure the Rokakaka will heal it. Mitsu: But... But there's a huge risk with eating the 'Rokakaka'. What part of my body is it going to 'trade' with? I haven't the slightest idea! Yasu: ... Yes, I've heard about that. Mitsu: I have the option 'not to eat' any. There's no problem area anywhere in my body. Yasu: Yes, that's true.

I do stuff like wash sheets and carry stuff around... What about you, Yasuho-chan? Oh~~, right this floor is the gynecology department, isn't it...? I guess... In that case asking how you're doing is kind of inappropriate, isn't it? ...So uh, did you change your email address?
Page 29: Tooru: I'll shoot you a message. Yasu: You've got incredible timing! ...I have a favor to ask... My cell phone is broken, and there's a guy in a sailor hat and suit down in the lobby, his name is 'Jousuke', would you mind... finding him and telling him 'I'm on the 3rd floor'? Tooru: Jousuke...? Who is this guy to you exactly? Yasy: None of your business. Will you go find him for me? ...Please...? Tooru: When you say the elevator's dirty, you pee yourself in there or something? Ya know you used to get pretty soaking wet from my fingers back in the day. Yasu: ...... Huuh??! Tooru: Heheh. ...The lobby level, right? I'll look for your sailor hat guy. Over and out!
Page 30: Mitsu: Who was that...? Yasu: An acquaintance. I went out with him in high school. SFX: SAAAH Mitsu: Here it is. This is where I had my exam. Sign: Examination Room
Page 31: Yasu: Is anyone in there? Mitsu: There shouldn't be. 'Woo Tomoki' chased the nurse out before. Yasu: It looks like... there's something past this room. There are marks on the floor left by people walking there.
Page 32: Yasu: This 'wall'. It's also a 'door'. Mitsu: It's here. I'm sure of it, Yasuho-san. Yasu: It's locked cryptographically and its electricity and information about it are all completely isolated from the outside. Okay... I'll use Paisley Park to go inside and find information from the other side of the door to try to get it unlocked. SFX: ZU ZU
Page 33: SFX: DOGYUU U U U Yasu: A video came up... But it's not unlocked, it's some kind of recording. It's giving voice instructions. Sign: Regarding the equivalent exchange of a Japanese person of average weight. Voice: For an equivalent exchange to take place... 125 grams or more of 'Rokakaka' fruit is required. Approximately 2/3rds of one fruit! SFX: OO O O O
Page 34: Voice: First, the fruit is bitten with the teeth of the upper and lower jaw. Flesh and juice of the 'Rokakaka' fruit will immediately be absorbed for nutrients through the skin of the upper and lower labial frenum to the capillaries. The remaining fruit flesh will continue on and reach the digestive tract to reach the digestive organs where it goes from the small intestine into the blood vessels and passes through the liver. The components of the 'Rokakaka' then immediately circulate all around the body with the blood. SFX: O O O O O Mitsu: This voice, it's Woo Tomoki's. He's explaining how the 'Rokakaka' works...! Voice: When it reaches the lesion, the 'Rokakaka' will automatically start reacting and the 'equivalent exchange' will begin.
Page 35: Woo: From the point where the teeth bite into it, the 'equivalent exchange' takes an average of "3 minutes and 21 seconds" to completely run its course. 125 grams of 'Rokakaka' can only perform 'one' equivalent exchange and affect "one" lesion. In the case where the patient has 2 or more lesions or inflammations which need to be healed, there is an order of priority. Whichever lesion is more severe or where the pain is 'larger' is the one which takes priority to be healed. In a case where a female patient with no lesions or any problems whatsoever on her upper and lower 'lips' who whished to do an exchange for cosmetic reasons, by holding the specified area together with two needles pierced simultaneously, the exchange resulted in youthful, shiny, high-volume 'upper and lower lips'.
Page 36: Woo: The moment of the actual exchange will have no intense pain, so there is no need for any sort of anaesthetic. Yasu: It really is Woo Tomoki in this video. Look, you can see a 'Rokakaka', too! Mitsu: This video... Who do you think it's supposed to be for? Video: That 'female' patient that desired 'upper and lower lips' for cosmetic reasons did an exchange with her lips and her own posterior, the fat of her 'butt', which became hardened like a rock. Why were the 'lips; and the 'fat of the buttocks' chosen? Why did it have to be the 'buttocks"? There is a lack of data on cause... it is a mystery.
Page 37: Woo: The 'Rokakaka' chooses the 'parts' that are exchanged! Only the 'Rokakaka' knows! To heal merely a pinky finger that lost a few milliliters of blood from a knife cut, a 'Rokakaka' may choose to exchange that with part of the brain. A part of the 'brain' which could put one's life in danger if lost... SFX: BAKOOH
Page 38: Woo: Why would the Rokakaka... choose something as vital for life as the 'brain' for a 'tiny wound'...? The answer to that question is a mystery. And one that is imperative we solve. But everyone, please rest easy. At the current moment, I, Woo Tomoki, have a technique. A technique for preventing dangerous exchanges. The Rokakaka components will circulate all around the body through the blood vessels, but I can temporarily prevent the 'Rokakaka' from entering the brain region.
Page 39: Woo: The 'Rokakaka' will not reach the 'brain'. I cannot allow any 'equivalent exchanges' to be done with the 'brain region'... I, 'Woo Tomoki' will cure that treatment. I will not fail. There is a risk with this equivalent exchange technique. But it's not just medical science and medicine, but the systems of society and humanity itself are subordinate to the Rokakaka. It is a situation that no one in all of mankind desires. Also, the Rokakaka's treatment is developing. With its completion before our eyes, it should be prioritized over all else.
Page 40: Yasu: This video, it looks like it's meant... to be an explanation for a patient or a sponsor of some kind. Mitsu: I don't remember having seen it before. Yasu: But the Rokakaka's equivalent exchange is still definitely something dangerous, even to these people! Woo is just using his Stand ability to slip inside his patients' bodies to prevent the risk! This video explains the original Rokakakas, but the new Rokakaka 'branch', the 'branch' from after the fire... Who has that 'branch' now? SFX: ZAH

Santa: Er, don' get the wrong idea, there's no tougher Santas above me 'er anythin'. Ya could call 'em like, King Santas. Like bosses. Eiji: Hmmm. Takeshi: What's so bad? These are fiiine...

Santa: Hm...? Married? Aahh... Marriage... Well, ya see, a lot's happened ta this old dude... Mitsuru: So you're not, huh?
Page 7: Santa: Hey, hey, don't get the wrong idea here! There were two times a while back where I had a chance ta get married, but I didn't. Kids: Hmmm Santa: It's all that goddang Yoshiharu's fault!! If that guy just would'a minded his own business back then.... I'd have a wife 'n kids 'n... Take: Ah, I see. So it's all Yoshiharu's fault. Kids: Who? Santa: Yep. Despite how I may look, this old dude used to be quite the ladies man back in the day. Take: Even more than me?! Santa: Yeah, 'a course. I used to get so~~~~ many Valentines 'n such. I used ta be pretty slim in my younger days, ya know. Used ta play soccer, too. Take: Heh, I didn't know that. Mitsuru: Heeeeeeh. Take: But uhhhh, old dude... How'd you become a Santa? Santa: Ahhhhh, well that... is a looong story. Take: Ah, ok, skip it then. Handwritten: Don't bother. Santa: Hey, hey, c'mon! Lemme tell it! So, the whole thing started when I was scouted. Take: Scouted?! By who?! Santa: By a King Santa.
Page 8: Santa: Yep... I think I was just in my 2nd year of high school at the time... I'd been reading a porno mag at the convenience store... when all 'a the sudden he was right there behind me. Santa: You can be Santa. Kid: Huh? Santa: ----And that's how it went. Kids: That sounds phoney as heeeell! Santa: Yeah, 2nd year 'a high school, I'd say that was this old dude's prime. Those were the days when I was the most popular. And maaaaan, did I struggle over it. My family owned a tofu shop. And I didn' know if I was gonna take it over er not... I'm the oldest son in my family, ya see. Eiji: Heh, really? Santa: But once I saved up enough, I decided I'd give it a try just ta see how it went... Like a part time job sorta deal... So yeah... the first house I went to back then was the house 'a somebody named Nogami-san. It was a real shack. Sign: Nogami
Page 9: Santa: They had it real rough. It was cold in there and the whole family had to sleep in the kitchen without any futons ta sleep in. Ha~~~~~ Darn, thinkin' 'bout that really takes me back ta my days as a kid... Take: Uh, isn't your house kind of a shack, old dude...? Santa: Yeah, this old dude's house is at a real megaton level... If Nogami-san's house was shack level 10, then this old dude's house's around level 125. But when this old dude was a kid, his parents never bought anythin' fer him... I was suuuuper jealous 'a Yoshiharu and all his toys. Kids: Again with Yoshiharu?! Santa: But just once a year... There was a day when toys would fer sure get left next ta yer pillow... Christmas. Takeshi... Eiji... Mitsuru... Everybody equally deserves ta be happy... No matter what family or what kids ya got, he comes ta yer house ta bring happiness all the same... This old dude's always loved Santas like that...
Page 10: Santa: Whenever I see Yogami-san's house, the memories 'a those days hit me light a freight train... Those feelings I had as a kid, lookin' up ta Santa... Back then, this old dude brought lots of futons 'n stuff ta the Nogami-san household! Haha!! Handwritten: HA HA HA HA Take: Old dude, is that when you decide you were gonna be a Santa...? Santa: Ah, yeah. But this old dude's leavin' it all behind after this year. Take: Huh? Why?! Handwritten: HWAH?! Santa: I mean, last year you spotted me, didn't ya, Takeshi? Take: Oh yeah, I remember. I thought you were a burger or somethin'. I just feel like... That wasn' good... Kids just ain't supposed ta know Santa's real identity. Take: Heh?! What, really?! Santa: Yeah, see, I can't say I didn' know anythin' about this before, but... If anybody sees our faces fer more'n 10 seconds, we get fired. Take: Fired?!! Santa: Yeah. Ya kno~~~w Takeshi... You really did wake up fast... Handwritten: And well, that was it fer me. Take: I'm... I'm sorry. Santa: This old dude's been out there doin' the best job he can since waaaay before all you were born. I've been in charge a Poppo Town for 25 years.
Page 11: Santa: And that was the first time I ever got found by a kid. Take: But just 10 seconds, old dude? Back then... Santa: Yeaaaah, it's fine... Don' worry about it. You couldn't help seein' me. And anyhow, I'm gettin' on in years... I was gettin' ta the point where this was too much fer me, so really it's all fine... Mitsuru: Oh... I'd better get going soon or my grandma's gonna get worried. Take: Oh, right. Well old dude, I'll make sure to sleep like a baby this year! So I'll be waiting for you! But asleep! Santa: Hm? Wha, you goin' already? Hey, you can stick around a little... Uh... Takeshi! Take: ! Hm?
Page 12: Kids: See ya, Mister Santa! Santa: S-So long! Watch out fer cars on yer way home... Be carefuuul... ...... Kids: So there really is a Santa, huh? Yeah. Crazy how he knew our names even though we didn't tell him. Yeah, that was amazing! Take: ......... Mitsu: ......? Eiji: What's wrong, Takeshi? Take: Hm...? Nothin'...
Page 13: Take: The old dude... just seemed kinda lonely... Kids: Huh? Take: I mean, he told us how if anybody sees him for more than 10 seconds, he gets fired, right...? So that means that as long as he ran or hid within 10 seconds then he'd be okay... But last year when I saw the old dude, he sure didn't act like that. Eiji: How'd he act? Take: I talked with him until morning. Kids: Huh? Take: He was real happy to talk with me all about memories he had from back before he was Santa all the way to now... He had all these wrinkles on his face when he was laughing all through the night... Maybe old dude... just wanted to make sure... By talking with us... he wanted to see if he was loved the same way he loved that santa clause that inspired him all those years ago...

No way you can pull off stuff like that, Shimabuu. Shima: Sheddeeeep!! You girls are never showing up in my series again!! SFX: KIIIH Guy: Shimabvuu Shima: Hm? Handwritten: Booo! Booo! Go to hell, Shimabuu!
Page 16: Guys: Could we have some more screen time soon? Please? Handwritten: Gon-chan Cup Shima: .......... Uh... well... Ya see... You guys were sorta meant to be one-off joke characters... So I don't really have much use for you anymore... maybe. Haha... Handwritten: UWAAAN Eiji: Aaah! How could you say that, Shimabuu! You brute! ["aaah" in a weird font] Shima: ......!! SFX: DAAAH Shima: W... Was I too mean? Whadda you say, Takeshi? Take: Uh, well, how do I say this... it was kind of... Handwritten: Hahaha... Haha... Hahahaha Take: incredibly mean. Shima: Whadda you expect, dammit?!! I've got problems too, ya know?! Eiji: Ah, Shimabuu's broken. Handwritten: KHHHH SFX: BECHO Shima: AH! Handwritten: Aaaah! Shimabuu stepped in poooo! Ewwww
Page 17: Shima: Ya know, I think poop's getting too much screen time in this manga!! Sheesh! Eiji: You're the one drawing it. Girls: Shimabuu sure like writing himself into his own manga a lot, doesn't he? Yeah, can you believe that? Ugh. SFX: *WHSPR* *WHSPR* TWITCH Shima: Okay, that's it... I'm done. 'Takeshi' is over. SFX: BAH Shima: Honestly I wanted to do a sports manga anyhow. Somethin' like Slam Dunk. Handwritten: Huhu... Gon: Nah, man. You couldn't handle it. Handwritten: One Piece and Slam Dunk are way out of your league. Shima: Out of my league, huh? Ok, I see. Handwritten: I must've been dreaming... Take: So then, let's make 'Takeshi' go for 10 years! We hope you'll stick with us! Shima: 10 years?! T/N: It didn't go for 10 years.

[Gintama 704 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 1: Title: Lesson 704 Nobody with a Natural Perm is a Decent Guy Author: Sorachi Hideaki SFX: GO GO GO GO Zura: Gintokiii!! Takasugiii!! Can you hear me?!! Where are you right now? Are you all right?!! We've seized the ship. And the remaining enemy is starting to flee. They've been completely devastated. But the terminal is still out of control. It's only a matter of time before the terminal collapses, taking this ship with it. We have to escape right now!
Page 2: Saka: Zura, we can't just run! If the Terminal blows, then the Altana is just going to go even further out of control! I dunno if even the whole planet will be able ta hold!! If we wanna survive, we have ta do somethin' about that! Zura: But... is there even anything we can do? Someone: There... is. Zura: ! Someone: Would you mind... leaving this... to me? SFX: ZAZAZAZA ZAZAZA Zura: Who's that? You... SFX: ZA ZA Shou: I'll use the enemy's weapons. This mess is happening because they extracted too much Altana from the Terminal.
Page 3: Shou: So if we hit that with equal energy from this side, the two forces should cancel each other out. And as for this massive amount of Altana that's been sucked out of the Earth, I'll destroy the weapons and make it flow back into the Terminal by using the Altana inside me as a detonator. But even if that stops the Altana from running out of control, I doubt the Terminal will make it through in one piece. SFX: ZA ZA ZA ZA Shouyou: Can I entrust getting everyone to safety to you, the brightest prodigy of my school? I do not want there to be... any more victims. SFX: ZA ZA Shou: I know I can count on you. I want all of you to live.
Page 4: SFX: ZAZAZAZA Shou: ---As you heard, you all must hurry out of here as well. I will isolate this area in order to keep the damage to a minimum. Shin: Shouyou-sensei, you... Handwritten: GEHO HO GO Shin: Sensei!! Handwritten: GEHOH Shou: .......... Ironic, isn't it? That I, someone with eternal life that they didn't even want, would end up pressed for time. But in this little life I have left, I have thanks to him. And I know what meaning that has.
Page 5: Shou: I am a feckless man who could not even protect his disciples. SFX: GO GO GO GO Shou: But that is why all of you must protect the future that they spun. SFX: DOON SFX: GO GO GO GO SFX: GO GA GA Shou: Perhaps the thousand years of my life was all for this moment? It's the first time I've thought that I'd like to keep living... SFX: GOHU Shou: Please, let me have even one second more...
Page 6: Shin: One second isn't nearly enough. Shou: ! Shin: Even if that's all you have on your own, Kagu: if everyone joins their life spans together, you should at least have enough to see the faces of your idiot disciples. SFX: ZA N Shou: Y-You! Shin: We're sorry, Shouyou-sensei. But we just can't leave you like this. If we did that, we just wouldn't be the Yorozuya anymore.
Page 7: Shin: We told you, didn't we? Kagu: The Yorozuya does its job until we take our exorbitant reward money. So if there's a future for us, it's not one that someone gave to us. Taking our future with our own hands is what the Yorozuya is.
Page 8: Shou: You two... SFX: ZA ZA Guys: ---Then we'll stick around, too. SFX: ZA ZA Guy: Those religious folks were scrounging up Altana from all over the place trying to find a way to make themselves immortal or whatever, right? If we throw all that in, not only will you be able to see their faces, you'll even be able to bop your idiot disciples on the head. Shin: You guys!! Han: Uh, how are we gonna throw it all at him? Ta be honest with you, even my cell phone is a pretty old model. Zaki: Yeah, I just can't keep up with new technology anymore. Han: This coming from the guy whose whole body is a machine?! Nobume: If it's about cell phones, leave it to me. Sa: Machines are like people. When they don't listen to you...
Page 9: Sa: this is what you do! SFX: DO DO SFX: GOGAAA Han: Uh, hey! You bunch of unruly girls! If you're gonna be that rough, forget fixing blocked signals, even Siri would snap and start showering us with abuse!! Tsukuyo: It'll reach. With all of these feelings united together, even without any sorta cell phone, I'm sure they'll reach. SFX: GOGAA DODOO
Page 10: SFX: DO DOOO Guys: Wh-What is this?! A large amount of Altana is flowing in here!! Shin: Shouyou-sensei, if you're going to destroy it, now may be your only chance! Kagu: Sadaharu, we protect Shouyou, yes?! Shou: ..........!! All of you... Why...? Why...? SFX: DO O N
Page 11: Guys: Yo. You sure took your time. You took so long we were thinkin' 'a just leaving you here. Gin: You guys... Hiji: Getting citizens to safety is part of the police's job. Kon: Seriously, with guys like you that never know when to give up around, it really makes our job tough. Okita: We'd rather not all drop dead with you so I guess we're gonna have to all go home together. Hiji: Now get the hell up. Let's go.
Page 12: Zura: ----Gintoki, It's up ahead. Most likely, that man and the rest of the Yorozuya are up ahead from where you are. So if there's anything you have left undone, you'd better hurry up with it. ----Got that? Zura: Because the brightest prodigy of Shouka Sonjuku has been entrusted with getting everyone home safely. Everyone's already taken shelter at this point besides you no-good brats that is. Gin: .......... Zura, Takasugi is... Zura: Sensei may not have known, but back then, there was another no-good brat who would cover up for for you two and wipe your asses for you whenever you made mischief. Isn't that right, Gintoki? His... Both of your final work of mischief... Until your asses have been wiped, I cannot move from this spot.
Page 13: Gin: Zura. Zura: So whether we live or die, we'll do it together. So whatever it takes, we've got to get you home alive, Gintoki. Saka: Relax. Even if I gotta go all the way ta the depths of hell, I'll make sure ta rescue you guys. So go ahead, go hog wild. Enough for his part, too.

Page 26: Computer: Data transfer complete. Good morning. Fuyou No.0.
Page 27: Tama: Where am I? Girl: Gengai-sama's machine storage vault. You suffered damage in the war, resulting in a long time asleep. I have been accumulating data in your place during that time. I am a replica of you, Tamako. Tama: My apologies... My circuits are still in a state of confusion... How long have I been asleep? This is Edo? Tama: No, it is now called Tokyo. After overcoming the war, Edo made major expansions and was reborn.
Page 28: Tama: If it were not for everyone's strenuous efforts, Tokyo would not exist as it does today. I see... So the world regained its peace, did it? ...Though it seems that the world which I know is not here. Just what happened to everyone since then...? You already have the answer. Someone: -----san Tama-san. Tama: ! Someone: When did you awaken from this sleep? and obtain that data? Tama: Is that Shinpachi's voice? From the old Edo? Shin: Even now, I do not know what we fought against, what we won against, or what we lost to, but...
Page 29: Shin: we came home. To Edo. Do our daily lives. But after I saw that somewhat-lonely smile on Gin-san's face, I finally felt it. The scale of what we'd taken back and the scale of what we'd lost. I guess he's not home.
Page 30: SFX: NURU Shin: NGYAAAAAA Where the hell are you sleeping, Gin-saaaaan?!! Eww! I stepped in vomit!! I was just thinking I hadn't seen you in a while and you were out drinking, weren't you?! Gin: Sheddehp. This's my house. I decide when I come home 'n where I throw ubruhbruhbruhbruh Shin: HEYYYY!! Don't get this place any dirtiurbrubrubru Gin: What're you doin' bein' all high-and-mighty sitting in my seat of honor anyhow? Shin: What're you talking about? I've been propping up the Yorozuya as its leader while everybody was away. Handwritten: I couldn't hold it in. Shin: You said yourself that you were going to redo everything from a bottom-rung employee, didn't you? Gin: I did not! I said you should redo those dumbass glasses frames! Shin: No you did not! Why don't you go redo everything starting from your father's ball sack! Gin: Why don't you go redo everything starting from your father's glasses case?! Shin: You're making me out to be just some dad's glasses at this point!! And anyhow, if you're gonna sleep, don't do it in the office, do it on a futon, please.
Page 31: Kagu: Do not intrude in a lady's roooom!! SFX: DOU Kagu: How many times do I have to say it before you understand?! This is not Gin-chan's room anymore, yes?! This is the room of the vice president of the company, the one who came back here second! SFX: DOGASHAAA Shin: Uh, well the vice president just kicked the president's lights out. Kagu: Yes well a company president is really nothing but a decoration like a tiny mustache, yes? Most of the real power is held by the Gouriki-san. In every world it is the physically strong ones who rule. Someone: Uh, Gouriki-san isn't actually physically strong. And isn't a company vice president. T/N: "Gouriki" can mean a strong person but Gouriki-san is a nickname for actress Gouriki Ayame. Kagu: We can shove a good-for-nothing like that into a closet. Shin: Um, miss super-strong, it looks like the closet was occupied, too. SFX: GARARA Gin: Enough already you guys! Where the hell am I supposed to go?! At this rate I'm gonna have to start marking this whole place! RRRRR! Someone: I'll kill you, bottom-rung!! Shin: ---But the reason we're able to keep going like nothing's changed at all SFX: DOGAAA Shin: is because us three humans and one dog are here together.
Page 32: Otose: Sheesh. After two years I thought you might've earned a lot of rent money, but from what I'm seeing now, it looks like you spent those two years doing nothing but picking your nose. Gin: Any inquires about rent should be directed to our new company president. Shin: Please don't just push stuff onto me when it's inconvenient for you. Kagu: Okay, let's leave it to leader! I will take the right nostril, Gin-chan will take the left nostril, and we will leave the rest to Shinpach. Gin: The only thing you guys are digging up is snot! Otose: Honestly, I had just been thinking that Shinpachi and Kagura had grown up so much, but with you back, everything looks just like it did before. Cath: I guess it's true what they say, one rotten apple spoils the barrel. Gin: I'm a fan of the sugary type that comes in cans rather than in barrels. Gengai: I see. If they're in a can, then even if they rot, it's pretty hard fer it ta spread anywhere. Gin: Could you not start with the assumption that I'm rotten? Kagu: Everybody makes fun of each other, but I didn't ask why. Umi: You don't need to ask stuff like that!
Page 33: Umi: Okay, then let me ask you something. Why do you think I crossed the universe to see you? Kagu: Because you are going bald. Umi: No, nothing to do with going bald! Kagu: Are you perhaps going bald down there? ["down there" in italics] Umi: I said it's not about baldness! There's no reason. You don't need a reason to see your family's face. It's just like that. You don't need a reason to stick around here on Earth and work at the Yorozuya again, right? So, for no reason, that trouble-causing idiot older brother of yours might come back, too. Shin: When Umibouzu-san said that, the view of his back seemed just a bit lonely and it also seemed to be balding. Otose: ---Well, whatever the case, as long as you pay me the rent, I've got no issues. The world seems to be in a new era or whatever. But there doesn't seem to be any talk of it being more prosperous, is there? Guy: As you can see behind me, the reconstruction of the Terminal has progressed quite a bit. No matter how many hardships come our way, as long as we have the spirit to never give up, we'll be able to rise from the ashes again and again.
Page 34: Soyo: So I truly hope that all of you will come alongside me... Someone: Soyo-sama, my apologies, but we would very much like to ask about the assassination of former Prime Minister Donald Zurump. There are rumors floating among the populace that it was orchestrated by you in order to remove Mr. Zurump and gain his position. SFX: PIKI SFX: GARA GARA GASHAN Nobu: If you think that the princess is the type of person who assassinates those that hinder her agenda, then I hope you're prepared to disappear hear and now. SFX: GYAAAAA Guys: HEEEEEEEH! M-Murderer!! Handwritten: Yyyup. Reporter: I knew those rumors were true! Shin: It was those two that restored Edo after it had been met with chaos and disorder again. Handwritten: Grrrr Shin: After Princess Soyo took over Zurump (Katsura)-san's job, she restored Edo through some brilliant political finessing. And Nobume-san could always be seen by her side. Actually, not only her, I'm sure those two were also always by her side, too...
Page 35: Shin: And one other person that nobody could ever forget... Handwritten: HU HA HA HA Zura: Fools! The one known as Zurump could not be done in by little girls such as these! That man is alive! Even with his soul wandering as a spirit, he still watches over this country! Do not forget, Zurump is always watching you! And if you forget yourselves and stray from the righteous path, he is sure to come to hand down divine punishment! The Departed Spirit Patriot, Oba-Z... SFX: HYUUU DORO DORO DORO T/N: This is a joke on Oba-Q, short for Obake no Q-Tarou. A 70's manga about a ghost. SFX: BUCHIN Gin: ---And after that, Katsura-san died. Shin: Don't just take over the narration and kill the guy off!! And anyhow, it hasn't been established that that's Katsura-saN! Even though it obviously is! Gin: Yeah but that idiot's as good as dead. Just let me kill him off. And anyhow, what've you been mumbling about? You almost done? Shin: You could hear that?! That's actually really embarrassing!!
Page 36: Shin: Uh, I thought I'd just make a record for Tama-san... Gin: What, are you trying to forcibly tie everything together through narration because it's the final chapter? That's way too long-winded and dull! You're seriously devoting pages to that idiot? Both the readers' and Tama's minds are gonna start drifting when they see that. Ya gotta be more concise with this stuff. Lemme take over for a bit. ---Tama, a lot's happened since then... I'm not sure how to convey it all to you... But there's one thing I'm sure I want you to know, everyone died. Shin: Don't try to tie it all up with thaaaat!! Gin: What's the problem? Everybody dies eventually. Shin: That's way too broad!! I'm sure Tama-san wants to know what happened directly after the war! Kagu: Gin-chan, Shinpachi is right! I would feel bad if Tama was the only one who did not know what happened. I want to tell her about every last thing that happened to me and what I felt about them when she was gone. The rolled omelettes were delicious. Shin: Where'd you get that from?!! That's the most who-cares thing I've ever heard!! If you're gonna go over all your impressions of breakfasts you've had, this final chapter alone is gonna be longer that every volume of Kochikame combined!! Gin: After Kochikame ended, Jump always felt kind of lonely. T/N: Kochikame is a long-running Jump manga that ran for 200 volumes and ended in 2016. Shin: We don't need your impressions of what Jump was like without Kochikame!! Gin: Jump died, too. Shin: Don't put another one of those here!! You're gonna get people confused!!
Page 37: Narr: Did you see that? Someone: ? Narr: If people do not have others observing them, they will degenerate to the point they're so depraved that they'll even fake a final chapter. Someone: Hey, who's that? That wasn't me! Narr: The world needs 'eyes' that spans across different eras and always watches a country and its people. The only one that can do such a thing is a God, a divine spirit... No, only the Departed Spirit Patriot, Oba-Z can- SFX: GA N SFX: GA KAH Gin: Because we ignored him like that, he managed to sneak his way all the way to this thing!! Kagu: That is true, but now we have taken care of one person at least. Who is next? Shin: Don't use force just to get to an ending where everyone's dead!! Narr: ---And that would be his final straight-man bit. Shin: No it's not, I'm not dead!! Narr: It's okay, I won't off over the narration. As you saw before, Zurump's political power has been inherited by the next generation. And along with that, the once-defunct Shinsengumi has had their status restored. Matsudai: I'd like ta say welcome back, but the world you've come back to isn't such a welcoming place. It's a battlefield. If you've got any feelings of excitement or nostalgia, throw 'em away right here. The one thing I ask is are you prepared to die?
Page 38: Matsu: Then drink until ya drop deaaad!! Narr: They never take a break from their fight. So that the taxes on the citizens do not go to waste, they keep on fighting all day and night. There are times in those days where it feels like they may face defeat, but it's all right. Because they have her with them. With having her own shop now in addition to managing the dojo, she's been very successful as a businesswoman. Sister has become quite a person of influence in Kabuki-chou. In the past, she would be non-commital to Kondou-san's advances, but now... she seems to be both a public and private source of strength to him. It makes me feel a bit lonesome, but if it's for my sister's happiness, I suppose it's all right. Maybe after the numerous battles I've been through, I've become an adult as well? HEEY! How 'bout you have a taste of an adult straight-man bit!! SFX: GOH
Page 39: Shin: So it was you that started impersonating me and started narrating up a storm of things that didn't happen. What the hell are you people thinking?! That you can just spout a bunch of blatant lies and get away with it because it's the last chapter?! Narr: Ha, ju~~~st kidding. I just can't help but butt heads with my brother-in-law whenever I run into him. Shin: Hey, I'm standing right in front of you! Are you psychotic? And Sister, why are you participating in this final chapter fraud?! Tae: Huh? I'm not doing anything. I just... Hey, Gorilla. Didn't I tell you that the next time you showed your face in this shop you'd be charged triple? Shin: Wait so under the narration there was some outrageous statements being made?! Kon: Yes, you've been very clear about that, Otae-sama. My wallet... no, the national treasury is yours if you so desire. Oh, and please accept this. Tickets to the B'Z live show. Tae: Oh, Gorilla dealer, you are evil indeed. Kon: No, no. Not as much as you, Otae-sama. Shin: This is just a scene of massive corruption! T/N: These are cliche lines of the "evil magistrate" character archetype. Someone: I'm sorry... I guess I sort of hid that with the narration, huh? The tears wouldn't stop flowing down my face. He really is the only one out there I could ever entrust my sister to... Shin: Yeah, I don't think so! Gin: Geez, what the hell? You just used three pages being the same idiots as ever. Okita: Sorry, Boss. But I think it's for the best. I don't need to do any sorta final chapter shams, as long as I have an everyday life like this. Gin: Ooh, looks like you're really getting into a conclusion. Okay, end it in the next panel. Just commit seppukue, that'd really tie things up.
Page 40: Narr: We were back to our normal everyday life. But for the Shinsengumi, that was just the beginning of a new battle. Check out this quick preview of the, the new series 'Shinsengumi Sword-Wind Notebook' starting next issue. Shin: Forget ending, that sounds like they're starting a whole new series!! What the hell do you mean next issue?! After that whole fake-out ending catastrophe this manga got kicked out of Jump! Narr: With the start of their new adventures, just who is their enemy in this new battle they are facing?! Shin: This isn't new at all!! We've seen this tons of times!! Don't just come butting in again!! Narr: And just what is the Shinsengumi's new weapon? Someone: Yamazaki-kun, in the process of your revival, your personality was split into 108 parts... Shin: Hey, what the hell happened, Jimmy?! Did he get into another convoluted mess?! Narr: Will the Shinsengumi be able to protect Edo from creepy idiots? Grave: Hijikata Toushirou Okita: There's a lot of difficulty that comes with being Vice Chief. I'm really getting a sense of what sorta hardships you went through. But... I swear I'll support the Shinsengumi for your part as well, Hijikata-san. SFX: GO PAA
Page 41: Gin: So in the end you did a sham ending, too, dammit!! SFX: GARA GARA Hiji: Quit slacking off on the job, you assholes!! Or I'll have you commit seppuku for failing in your bushido!! Okita: Hijikata-san, today's the last chapter. Even if we do do our jobs, we won't get paid for it. Look at Yamazaki. Him and the mecha-zakis are playing me-kabaddi. Handwritten: Me-kabaddi! Me-kabaddi! Me-kabaddi! Hiji: Ok, what the hell even is me-kabaddi?! And who the hell is mecha-zaki?!! Gin: Hey, hey, Vice Chief! SFX: GAH GOH GAH Gin: We get it! It's clear as hell that you guys don't have any ability to wrap things up. So for now, just take this. Okay, now strike a pose! All right, now just hold that! Handwritten: WHSPR WHSPR Hiji: WRAP IT UUUUP!! Why the hell do I have to strike a pose!? And what was that look you just gave me?! Narr: The Shinsengumi was... like that. Hiji: Like what?! What the hell kind of wrap up was that?!
Page 42: Tae: No need to be so grumpy, Hijikata-san. We've got everyone together in the same building like this, so why don't you take it easy just for this final chapter? Hiji: A policeman's job doesn't have a final chapter!! Even at times like this... Kyuu: I see... So it's a policeman's job to yell and cause a commotion in people's shops, is it? Then perhaps I will do my job as well. Hiji: !! SFX: JAKI Hiji: Oh yeah. Something like this's happened before, hasn't it, Kyuubei? All right then. I held back before, thinking of you as a woman. But now I know there's no need for that. Kyuu: I'll show you what my job is! Serving fruit! Now say ah! Handwritten: AAH Someone: Wait, you're a cabaret girllllll?! Tae: I asked her to come over and hang out, but she felt bad for us having to do all the work, so she volunteered to help out. Kyuu: I came up with a way to serve customers without getting close to men! Now my becoming the No. 1 cabaret club girl isn't just a dream! Hiji: Don't let her serve customers with a personal-space sharp sword!! Tae: This is a legitimate battle strategy! In cabaret clubs, it's pretty common to serve customers from really close distances, but I heard that in Yoshiwara, they have a trick where if you act cold and distant to customers it actually makes them crazy about you! SFX: DO DO DO DO
Page 43: Tsuku: I cleaned the place up fer ya, Otae. Shin: Forget cold and distant, she's coming in with long-range strikes!! Sa: MUHMFF SFX: GOBOO Sae: Gin-hya...n. Sto... Someone: And I have no clue what this one is even trying to do here!! Tsuku: Kagura, you look like yer doin' well. Kagu: Everyone came, yes?! Guys: Yeah, everyone.
Page 44: Hanzo: Sheh sheh!! Well, ya said ta come hang out, so I came! But looks like there's not a single ugly girl here! What's the deal?! Here you are, si~~~r! SFX: GASHAN Someone: Sheesh, what a calculating bunch. Everybody swarms together just for the final chapter. Tae; But now we can all wrap things up through narration, right? Shin: Uh, what kind of wrap-up would that be? A wrap up where everybody has fun with each other and gets dead drunk? Gin: ........ That doesn't sound too bad, really. I think that'd suit us just fine.
Page 45: Narr: ----Yup, same as always. That might be the best phrase you could use to describe us. Shin: Hey, pull a yourself together Gin: What makes you think I don't got myself together? I'll show you. Want me ta recite all the Dragonball enemy characters? Shin: Uh, I think saying that is proof enough you don't have yourself together! GIn: Doctor Gerororororo Handwritten GYAAAAA Someone: Hey, miss! Ten more servings just like this one. Hey, hey. Maybe you aught ta leave off there. Abuto: We don't have any huge groups backing us up or any financial muscle to fall back on now. Our organization's dirt poor. Think about the ones managing our finances, won'cha? Kamui: But this planet's food is so good! And anyhow, you said to get a good meal before a war, right? Abuto: War? We ain't got the money for that.
Page 46: Kamui: Okay, we'll save the fun for later, Miss. I promise next time I'll come for the Earth. Abuto: Geez, another huge goal, huh? You may not have money, but you've sure got dreams. What about your little sister? Kamui: I'm gonna beat her, of course. Abuto: Again with that? Two years ago you were talkin' about going to train, but I know you were just hovering around your little sister. Kamui: I think that's a certain old man that just looks like me that you're talkin' about. Abuto: Don't talk shit, you dumbass. Sign: Noodles Zura: Y-You did well to spot me, huhahahaha!

Page 47: SFX: PINPOOHN Sakamoto: I know it's been a long time since I we've been in contact, but how are you doing, Chintoki-kun? Paper: Sakamoto Tatsuma Saka: I'm flying around outer space, same as usual. Space really is a great place. When I look out at the vastness of space, I forget all my troubles. Why don't you come out with me for a space trip next time, Mantoki-kun? Now then, the reason I'm writing to you right now is that there's something I want to tell you. On that day, I promised I would save you, but the moment I saw that collapsed Termina, I honestly thought you were dead, lololol. I'm not just saying this or anything, but back then, it wasn't me that saved you. I think it was that person. I believe that after pouring everything into the Altana and disappearing, he became a part of the Altana and protected his disciples through it all.
Page 48: Saka: So there's no reason to feel lonely. Your master is surely here and there all over this Earth and he will always be watching over you. To my dear friend, Chinmanbuku-kun. P.S. This is something I heard when I met up with Zura the other day. The remnants of the Kiheitai were making some odd movements. Someone: Dragon Holes? Takechi: Yes, I heard she was traveling around to each of the Dragon Holes across different lands. Zura: Just who is she pretending to be? That's exactly like... Takechi: I suppose she couldn't forgive him. That man... making Sakata Gintoki carry everything. Or herself for not being able to do anything.
Page 49: Takechi: She was thankful to once again be able to see the smiling face of that man, imprisoned by death. And she said that now, it was her turn. Zura: ......... Take: Takasugi's corpse was swallowed by the Altana. But there isn't the slightest chance for him being resurrected like Utsuro was. That was something like a miracle that occurred because Utsuro had been born from the Altana. Still, I don't mind. This is our, the Kiheitai's, atonement. Zura: Takechi, don't tell me that you're also going to... Take: .......... Zura: Would you stick around with me a bit? SFX: RIP RIP RIP Saka: It is my belief that there is no such thing as miracles in this world.
Page 50: Saka: And that all things that happen in this world have causes, and happen for logical reasons. So I do not think my saving you was a miracle. People: Why did someone abandon it in such a place? This must be the divine wrath of Ryuujin-sama! Saka: And I do not think that a master protecting his disciples is a miracle. I believe that is something only natural.
Page 51: Grave: Shimura Ken Otae: Oh, you came, huh? It's been a long time since the two of us came to see father. Is there something you wanted to tell him? Shin: No. Back then, Father looked up at the sky of Edo and sighed, but I was just thinking that this sky that always looks the same looks different right now, doesn't it?
Page 52: Shin: After all, we know that everyone is under this sky.
Page 53: Shin: Even if it's covered in clouds, in our hearts and under that sky, everyone is always there. Page 54: Shin: So, Tama-san, even if where you are now is beneath a sky you don't recognize, even if where you are now is below a sky without us, please don't cry. Because we are always with you beneath your sky.
Page 55: Shin: Yes, if you believe, we SFX: GARARA Shin: will break through worlds, eras, and panels to be there to wipe away your tears.
Page 56: Tama: Let's go. Shin: After that, those girls lived in this era. The world was, at that time, the golden age of machines. Humans' jobs and places in the world were taken by machines and the leading role of the world was changing. They found happiness and humans became unemployed. Every last one.
Page 57: Hase: And when everyone is unemployed together, no one is. Joblessness became colorless. And so even the jobless could find happine- Tama: Hasegawa-san? SFX: BUWAH Guys: You're doing a sham final chapter, tooooo?!! SFX: DOH DOH DOH Gin: You asshole! What kind of final chapter did you feed Tamako?!

SFX: GAH GOH GAH Hase: And then I just happened to mumble something to Tamako-chan about how nice it'd be to live in a world where everybody was unemployed! Tama: My apologies.

[Gintama 703 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 1: Utsuro: Two years ago, Title: Lesson 703 The Right Eye Utsu: when all of you denied me, I said to you... as long as you continue to live, tragedy will only recur. This is the result of the path you chose. Here, you have no friends nor masters.
Page 2: Utsu: All that is here is the void: Utsuro. T/N: The word Utsuro means void/hollow. I must thank you. You did well to make it all the way here working with that one who had taken in some of my blood. Not knowing that I was within it. Not just in him. In all of those that received my blood, I sprouted in them and my ivy coiled around them as I waited for the moment where we could become one and I could take myself back. And, through gaining Yoshida Shouyou's blood, it finally happened. The world now once again faces the blooming of the flower of despair. SFX: MEKI MEKI
Page 3: Utsu: It will not be long now before the world is swallowed by the dragon and ends. And the one person that can stop it, Shouyou, is no longer here. But as you are now, can you accept that fate? You, the man that once cut down his master to save his friends, the man whose master was once cut down by a friend, even after having experienced each other's pain, your struggle has been futile and your tragedies have only repeated. In the end, you could not change a thing. You could not accomplish anything at all. ...I can hear his, Takasugi's, voice quite well. He said we have to quickly put an end to everything.
Page 4: Utsu: You feel the same way, do you not? Gin: ........... Yeah. I feel the exact same way. SFX: GAH Gin: Let's end it with this... Utsuro, even without these nice little lectures of yours, we've known about our own powerlessness for a long time now. So we made a vow.
Page 5: Gin: Even if it meant combining the strengths of these powerless swords that clashed together so many times, we would take back what we lost on that day. And we're not going back on our word.
Page 6: Utsu: You still unsheathe that sword? Even with no reason left to fight with the world ending as it is? That vow has long since been broken by the hand of none other than your friend. Or do you perhaps want to at least avenge your master at the very end? So after your master, you'll cut down your friend next? Gin: ...Utsuro, unfortunately that's not the kinda friends we are. But there's one thing he knows better than anyone. No matter what kind of tragedy that guy goes though, he would never say something as admirable as 'I just want it all to end'. In times like that, he says things like this...
Page 7: Taka: I simply destroy, Utsuro. I'll destroy the rotten world where you're still swaggering around carefree.
Page 8: Utsu: What is this...?
Page 9: Utsu: Why am... I here...? What... What is this...? SFX: BUSHII
Page 10: [No Text]
Page 11: SFX: MISHIH MISHIH Oboro: Utsuro, You're not the only one in this blood.
Page 12: Utsu: Sh-Shouyou... Where did... his corpse go? Gin: Utsuro... What did you see exactly? There hasn't been anything like that here the whole time. The only thing laying there
Page 13: Gin: was you, Utsuro.
Page 14: SFX: DOH
Page 15: Utsu: ---Back then, he pushed me back and stabbed himself with that blade...?!!
Page 16: Utsu: So the corpse I saw was myself...? Taka: Sensei... I'm sorry. Please, go. It looks like this flunkee has some homework left undone. It looks like the one I'm going to have to accompany is this you, Sensei. ["this" in italics]
Page 17: Taka: But don't worry. We are the only disciples of Yoshida Shouyou. There are already those here... that have inherited our will. I leave you, I leave the future, to them.
Page 18: SFX: ZAZAZA Utsu: Kuh... Even if it was only temporary, to drive me away and to allow Shouyou to escape... But with those wounds, an imperfect Shouyou will not hold out long. No, even before that happens, I will put an end to him along with these disciples. Gin: You're not going anywhere. No matter how much of the incomplete Shouyou's blood you bathe in, regrowing one arm is the best you can do. You're no longer an immortal monster. Getting into his body was where your luck ended. Both he and I aren't letting you get away again. SFX: ZASHIH
Page 19: Gin: So I'll end it just like you want, Utsuro. Both you and this absurd tragedy. Utsu: ......... Me, cut down by you? Didn't you want to save him? Didn't you want to protect him? I know very well that you came this far with him.
Page 20: Utsu: If you cut down your master for your friend and you cut down your friend for your master, what exactly do you have left? Emptiness. All that's left is an empty void, an empty Utsuro. Do you have the resolve to keep that Utsuro alive?!!

Page 31: Utsu: ............. I... see... Humans are... utsuro, hollow. But... because they know that, they can bring other people in... to live on... inside them. So even in death... they are not destroyed...
Page 32: Utsu: they can remain there... in the... soul...
Page 33: Shouyou: ...Why do you help me...? Utsuro came from me... I was the source of all this calamity... but you still... Shin: If there's somebody in trouble, then we lend a hand and then charge them an arm and a leg for it. That's what Sakata Gintoki hammered into us. That's how your disciple has been living. That is our Yorozuya. And you didn't only create Utsuro. You also created him, Sakata Gintoki. I really... wanted to talk with the person that did that if I got the chance.
Page 34: Utsu: Honestly, I'm the one who was on the receiving end. If I hadn't met them, I would have stayed empty as Utsuro. They gave me my humanity, Yoshida Shouyou. But my existence was nothing but a shackles to them. If they hadn't met me, they would not have met with such a harsh fate. In the end, I could not save or protect them. I was only ever saved by them. ["by" in italics] I don't deserve to be called their master... Shin: Still, even if that's true, it's because of you that we were able to meet Sakata Gintoki.
Page 35: Shin: Your meeting Gin-san led to a ton of other meetings. So even if this had ended up being the end of the world, I'd want to offer my thanks. I've wanted to say it to you for so long. Thank you. I'm sure Gin-san and the others feel the same.
Page 36: Taka: 246 wins and 247 losses. Looks like I... lost my touch. I left the last fight to someone else and they walked off with the win... Gin: Takasugi!! SFX: GEHO GOHOH Taka: Someone like Utsuro really is too much for you. Looks like the only one that can beat you is me. Gin: ........... What took him down in the end was your sword, Takasugi.
Page 37: Gin: The one that protected Shouyou and protected me, that was all you. This time... you got the win on me. Taka: ...Heh. There's nothing more miserable than getting a win out of pity. But at least I'll be going to the other side without having anything to pay you back for. I can't let you cut down Sensei anymore. Compared to Sensei, I was far easier to cut down, wasn't I? Gin: .......... Yeah. Taka: Probably because this face you hate that you're so used to bashing in wasn't there.
Page 38: Taka: It's been like that ever since we were kids. We go at it every time we see each other. I thought once I got a bit taller and became an adult, it would get better, but in the end... I stayed being a brat the whole way through. And I never got as tall as you. Gin: No, you got taller. We might've just been born under that kind of star. But that's... not too bad, is it? But Takasugi... I... really would've liked to exchange drinks with you... even if it was half the number of times we crossed swords. Taka: ......... Heh. That ain't like you. If you had that much free time, I'd like to have gotten as many more wins on you as I could. But... Let's leave it off here. You'd better get going. You're not empty. You've got things you need to protect with that sword, don't you?
Page 39: SFX: GEHO GOHO Gin: Takasugi!! Taka: ...Gintoki, this... destroyed left eye of mine... it closed that day... with the last thing it saw burned into it. It was... your damp face. I've lived staring at it with this left eye... an excruciating amount. So when... by the time my right eye closes, you'd better not be showing me... your disheartened face.
Page 40: Taka: The man that stood in my way that day... The man that... I always wanted to defeat... the man I chased... for so long... That face isn't him.
Page 41: Gin: Go wait for me in hell, Takasugi. I'm not letting you walk off the victor... I swear I'll win next time. Taka: Fine... by... me...

[Gintama 702 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 1: Author: Sorachi Hideaki Title: Lesson 702 Fate SFX: GOGAGA Saka: Darnit. We've taken care of the majority of the enemy, but... we can't stop the Terminal from spinning out of control. SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO GO Saka: They've already drawn up too much Altana for their plan to revive Utsuro. Now the faucet's out 'a control! We're still holdin' on for now, but it's only a matter 'a time before it blows along with the pipes! All the effort and hope that the people 'a Edo put inta restorin' everything is gonna... disappear in an instant.
Page 2: Mutsu: ----How many times is this planet going to need to be saved before it's actually safe? It almost feels like the end is fate or something. Saka: Yeah, maybe the destruction this planet faced two years ago at the hands of Utsuro was fate. But we humans chose to reject that fate. Fighting fate with fate.
Page 3: Saka: Why is it ya think it is that while humans and planets are all fated to fall to ruin one day, even knowing that, humans will reject the end, reject even immortality, and fight. I wonder if at the end of this fight... we find the answer ta that question. The answer to why we've been fightin' all this time...
Page 4: Taka: Sensei, why? I can tell just looking at your face, you sure as hell aren't Utsuro. Your our sensei, Yoshida Shouyou, aren't you?
Page 5: Taka: The ambitions of the Seibouists are in tatters. There's no one left to torment you. I... We came to protect you from whoever was a threat to you. So, Sensei, let's go home. Together back to Shouka Sonjuku. We've got tons of things we want to talk to you about. So much as happened since you've been gone.
Page 6: Taka: Since then, we took different paths again and again, and clashed with each other again and again, but we came back here.
Page 7: Taka: To where everything began, you. But it looks like I ended up getting here before them. Their... His sword isn't something that is swung for the past anymore.
Page 8: Taka: Now, he swings it for those that are by his side, and for the future. And my role is being his companion.
Page 9: Taka: So, sen...sei, come back with... SFX: DOSHAAA Handwritten: GEHO GOHO Taka: Just a little more... I just had a little more to go... this is pathetic. My sword that's clinged to the past is now completely rusted.
Page 10: Shou: ...I I am... no longer a being that can be called your Sensei. No... maybe even long before that... I... remember. Why was a being like me born? Why was Utsuro born? And
Page 11: Shou: why Shouka Sonjuku was born. With the memories of Utsuro of trying to end himself along with the entire world inside me, there also exists the memories of Yoshida Shouyou who tried to prevent that. And then there's the innumerable wars and massive amount of bloodshed that happened which I was connected with. I could never forget the sight of all of you trying to stop that. I... can no longer to back to being Yoshida Shouyou.
Page 12: Shou: I will bring both Yoshida Shouyou and Utsuro with me as I return to nothing. That is the one place we can return home to. And now, that wish can be granted. Guy: Utsuro's heart has disappeared. Previously, Utsuro possessed even the power to regenerate that heart, but now that is not the case.
Page 13: Guy: As Utsuro is now, using the crystal as a temporary heart and vessel for his spirit, he was just able to regenerate his body. Without that crystal, he will not even be able to maintain his body. Even with enough Altana gathered up to awaken him, it is only temporary. Utsuro is no longer immortal. He is an ordinary human. ...That man can finally... end. SFX: GOHUNG Zura: ......... You're... Guy: Only after getting this body that will not die even if its rotted way did I finally understand. The pain of not being able to end. A taste of the loneliness that man who tried to end himself and the whole world felt.
Page 14: Guy: Even ordered to do so by this blood, I could not bring that man back here again. I cannot put an end to the world either, but I am able to free that man from the cycle of that curse. I'm not sure if you all could do that. To put an end to the master that you had finally reunited with.
Page 15: Guy: And now my duty has been... fulfilled. Not just mine... but also all the others who received Utsuro's blood. Their blood... should be rotting away right now as well. Along... with Utsuro... Though I do not know... what they will choose to do... with that remaining life, I pray that for their final hours at least, that they can meet their end... with humanity.
Page 16: Utsuro: I cannot go with you. I have a duty to eradicate all remaining elements of Utsuro in here, and quell all of the wars that started because of me. If I collide the massive amount of Altana within me with that rampaging dragon, they may cancel each other out, leaving everything at peace. Using this life of mine to protect Edo, that is how I want to use the last of this life that gave birth to so much strife. So I cannot save you. To save you, someone in whom Utsuro's blood dwells is... ...I'm sorry. That blood... is seeds that I scattered in this world.
Page 17: Utsu: I thought... I could save someone as well. Utterly unaware of how dangerous it was. It was sheer arrogance. Even now, in my attempt to save the countless people of Edo, SFX: DRIP Utsu: I could not save a single one of you... the disciples I truly wanted to save. I'm sorry. I... I...
Page 18: SFX: DOH Taka: There is no need to apologize. SFX: DRIP...
Page 19: Taka: Shouyou, I've long known that you could not protect anything. Shou: Y-You... Taka: I've been waiting for this moment. Like what you did back then. Shouyou, I've been waiting for this instant where you left an opening in your heart.
Page 20: Taka: in your precious disciples. SFX: DOBUSHAAA Taka: Shouyou,

And yet he went so far as to reduce himself to this state in order to cling to life... Is it to continue to fulfill his duty as an inugami? I find it hard to imagine that he has no other reason...
Page 9: Guy: Fulfilling his duty may not have been the only reason this child risked his life the way he did. ...Just seeing you here made me feel that way.

Did you swallow him whole?! SFX: DAKI (SQUEEZE) Kagu: You cannot blame him, yes? Sadaharu is still recuperating. He needs lots of nutrients. Shin: Forget saving him, he just grabbed him out of the air because he was hungry! Oh man, what're we gonna do?!! Kagu: Do not worry, yes? Scum like that has no nutrients in it at all, so he will come exactly the same out the other end. Shin: Gin-saaaaan!! SFX: BURIH Shin: What the hell kind of tearful reunion is thiiis?!!

SFX: OROROROROO DOSHAAA Guys: Gin-chan! Gin-saaaan! SFX: GEHO GOHOH Gin: I guess all that about dogs having a homing instinct where they can get back home no matter how far away they are is true. Sorry, Sadaharu. Your idiot owner took your home to home in on away for a long-ass time.
Page 22: Shin: Gin-san... Gin: ...I told you before, didn't I? We had nothing to do, so we just did whatever. So if you have something you wanna do, then some half-assed thing like a place where you do odd jobs should be closed down. I guess the fact that we're all here means we're back to doin' that half-assed thing. Shin: ...No, it just means that what we want to do is right here. Kagu: ...Gin-chan, we didn't become odd-jobbers because we had nothing to do. We just... were okay with whatever. If it meant we could go on walks with Sadaharu again, we didn't mind flying to the ends of the universe. If it meant we could fool around with the people we feel at home with, then we would be alone if it meant protecting our home.
Page 23: Kagu: It didn't matter as long as we could be here with you and everyone. So that is why I'm I am ["I'm" and "I am" next to each other] a Yorozuya. It was so obvious, but it took us such a long time to tell you. So Gin-san, please, if there's anything we can do to help... Gin: ......... Don't say that.
Page 24: Gin: It's the Yorozuya's job to do the job once they've been asked it. There's nothing for you two Yorozuya to say beyond that. Maybe the reason I came back here, even if it meant being half-assed or being a fool, was to say that to you. You sure have gotten a whole lot bigger since I've been gone. ...My back hurts. Would you mind giving me a hand?

I'm counting on you to give me a company discount. Shin: It's starting to look like we didn't get bigger, you got smaller, Gin-chan. Kagu: Sure does, yes? Handwritten: Ahhahhahhahhah Hahhhahhahhah Someone: Uh, no, seriously, did you get smaller?

What's in the world happened to you...?!! Gin: Uh... I might've gotten a little digested inside Sadaharu. Shin: Digested?! Gin: Did anything come out before I did? I feel like I dropped something important... Shin: Ah!!! Well, what looks like two old men that just got out of a bath came out. Gin: Hey, hey, what do you think you're doing, Gin-san Sepia? Gin-san Severe? Shin: Sepia?! Severe?! Gin: You know you're not supposed to just split off on your own like that. Together we're the Gin-Three (San), aren't we? Shin: Split off?! You're originally all one?! So wait, is that what Gin-san means?! T/N: "San" as a polite suffix can also mean "Three". Gin: Hurry and come bacK! I need my long legs back! Guys: I don't wanna!!

Page 31: Kon: I dunno what happened, but it looks like you're back to being just a Joui patriot again. How the mighty have fallen. Zura: What about you? You're still chasing after Joui Patriots around same as ever, and you ended up here? That's pretty pathetic after we've finally reached this new era. Kon: Say what you want, we didn't fall here. We came home.
Page 32: Kon: With them. Guys: Guh. SFX: DODOO Someone: We'd finally gotten all the way up there, and now we gotta do it all over again?! Gin-san! Where's Takasugi-san?! I dunno! But for now, we gotta hurry!! Someone: Oh, are you in a hurry?! SFX: OOOO SFX: DOH

One minute you say you need to borrow the official car, and the next minute you... Hase: Prince. SFX: BIH Hase: It's thanks to you that I went from being unemployed to being a hero, but the title of hero doesn't come with a salary on its own, so I realized, I'm actually still unemployed.
Page 34: Hase: So I'm dropping the hero thing. I'm the same as you guys, I'm doing things over again from here. What a coincidence, right? Guys: You sure? Someone: I said it before, didn' I? Anybody that throws themselves into temporary excitement ends up ruined. SFX: WAAAA Someone: No need to worry.

White Text: ...So, you see, it didn't end with this issue. It's definitely still going. So here are the future plans and an apology. Editor: I want to express my honest thanks for you buying these three consecutive issues of Jump Giga. The editor of this series is borrowing Gin-san's appearance to apologize about the 'not ending' situation. I realized when on standby for the first manuscript 'Ah, this can't be finished in three issues, can it?' It was right when I saw the six-page Dragonball parody. I laughed at the gag, but 'As long as I didn't have to take responsibility for this, I wouldn't mind somebody blowing me away with a Galick Gun.' Right around when the first issue was going on sale, with it being a done deal that 'This text on the covers is clearly meant to connect to spell out 'owari' (the end)' I felt a kind of an 'inescapable despair'. But fortunately, I got a chance to spend 15 hours in the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber' that is Sorachi-sensei's work studio while waiting for 2nd manuscript, in which time I had a chat with Sensei. The result was, in order to make allowing him to draw a proper conclusion to the story of 'Gintama' the top priority, we landed on 'distributing it through the app'. I hope you'll all stick with us to the very, very, very end. SFX: GABAH Right Box: The continuation of this story will be... Big: in the Gintama app!! Little Text: All further chapters will be distributed on this exhaustive app of 'Gintama'. White Text: Planned to be completely free!! Left: Be sure to download it!!

Check the next page!!
Page 3: Insert: After traveling around the universe, Kagura reached a certain place... Guy: He's certainly not dead, this one. But nor is he alive. He exists in between the two. Over the course of a fierce battle, this fellow was unable to maintain his existence in this world. It seems to me that he sealed himself in here in order to keep his body connected to this world. Though I cannot say I know when those wounds will heal. It's honestly my first time ever seeing an inugami in this state. But an inugami is a keeper of the Dragon Veins that act as the source of a planet's life.
Page 4: Guy: As long as a planet's life has not run dry, this fellow may very well return as that keeper. So perhaps it would be best to simply let him rest quietly for now. Your friend fought hard. Maybe the best thing you can do is defend the planet he fought so hard to protect in his place? It would be quite the pity if this fellow's home is gone when he wakes up, wouldn't you say? Somoene: .....-n ...chan!!!
Page 5: Shin: Kagura-chan! What're you waiting for?! C'mon, this way! SFX: GOSO Somone: Dammit... Did Gintoki and the other already make their way to the enemy mother ship?! We keep cutting these enemies down, but there's no end to them! SFX: WAAAA Guys: They keep seeping up out of the cracks one after another! And in the meantime, they're still constantly sucking up the Earth's Altana!
Page 6: Kon: Keep pressing forward! Don't stop for anything! Put all your focus on moving forward! Kagu: ----Sadaharu, even without you, I promise we will protect this place. Nobume: What're you doing? Did you not hear the orders from your chief? SFX: ZA ZAH
Page 7: Nobume: Keep moving. I'll take take care of things here. I do not plan on allowing the police force that I took over form Isaburou to end here. Guys: Geez. If the director of police is going to personally hold off the enemy, then I don't think this director of police is going to last too long either. So you'll have to excuse me, Chief. SFX: KACHIH (CLICK) SFX: DOKAAA Zaki: We'll be ignoring both the chief and director's orders.
Page 8: Zaki: It looks like we've got this whole business in front of us now. You all, go right ahead. We'll be behind you later. That's a promise. And she'll be with us. This time, both the Chief and the Director are going to stay live. Someone: Just outright disregarding a superior's orders? I can't believe this organization... All right, we're all going back together. And when we do, I'm slashing your salaries. Guys: ---We promise we'll protect the home for you to return to. So...

Page 22: Taka: It's the steel teachings of Shouka Sonjuku
Page 23: left behind by our master and senior disciple to keep getting up no matter how many times we fall. We've clashed with and duked it out with all sorts of people and ended up pretty bent and twisted along the way,
Page 24: Taka: but that steel is unmistakably still here, never rusting, never bending. That blade is here in our souls. SFX: DOH
Page 25: SFX: DO DOOON SFX: ZAZAZA Katsu: We're taking this back. And our master, too. Someone: Is this destiny as well?
Page 26: SFX: WAAAA Guys: ZURAAAA!! Looks like this is as far as we're gonna be able to escort ya! SFX: GAKIIIN GIIIN Hiji: Leave Katsura to us. Catching idiot Patriots like him is our job. Kon: Your guy is close... get goin'. Get too careless and he's gonna slip away from you again! Oki: You get it, right? This is the last time in this life that we're gonna help you guys. The next time we meet... Guys: ...Yeah. We'll make sure to hurl abuse at you along with that guy. So please let me say this for the last time in this life,
Page 27: Guys: thank you. SFX: GAKII Gin: This guy... Utsuro's swordsmanship... These guys are really... SFX: GIIIN SFX: GIGI Guy: So you've accepted Utsuro's blood, yet you resist it as well? Actually it seems that that blood, too, is starting to wilt. Just how long will that half-connected neck hold out?
Page 29: SFX: DO N SFX: BUSHIII SFX: DOKAKAK SFX: DOSHAAAA Gin: ...Hey. These guys... Taka: Yeah. Just how the hell many Senseis do we need to cut down?
Page 30: Guys: We are immortals that have undertaken an ample amount of Utsuro's blood. What's more, we are able to draw power from Utsuro's blood. Killing us is no simple task. Taka: Can you see it? We'll use the core that's on the verge of going berserk thanks to them. They may regenerate no matter how much damage they take, but the high energy levels in there can even make that immortal blood go up in smoke. Meaning if we use that Altana, we can wipe them out along with that blood. What we need to go for is a level where we can get close to the core. We'll have to bring them there with us, but... we have immortals on our side, too.
Page 31: Taka: Use me. I dunno how long I'll be able to hold out, but I can at least act as a shield. Gin: You... Taka: Looks like it might've been worth it, getting this screwed up body. Ready? SFX: DOH SFX: GASHAN
Page 32: Guys: Have they gone mad?! Or do they actually think they can escape...? SFX: DO DOH

Page 35: SFX: GO GO GO GO GO SFX: DON SFX: GOFAAA Guy: It's useless. The Utsuro within us cannot be extinguished with such things.
Page 36: SFX: ZAZA Guy: With that dried up blood of yours, you cannot keep up with our regeneration. SFX: DO DO Guy: We'll drain all of that blood and see that you rot away completely.
Page 37: Taka: I see. Then I guess that means... it's a race to see whose blood runs dry first. Your Utsuro blood, or my Shouyou blood? SFX: GAH Guys: ............!!

Page 42: Taka: Just a little more should do it. Sensei, senior disciple. Lend me your strength.
Page 43: Guy: You bastard. You intend to wipe yourself out along with us?! SFX: MEKI MEKI SFX: ZUH Guy: Death-dodging bastard! I'll gouge out your heart and spill out the rest of that blood first!! SFX: BUKUH SFX: ZUH Guy: !! SFX: DO SHI Taka: Take it. But your heart will get skewered, too. SFX: GOFUH Taka: I didn't plan on using all the rest of this blood at a place like this, but...
Page 44: Taka: if this will get us there, then it's not so bad. I wonder if the thing that made me start thinking in this way that's so unlike me was your blood? Or maybe... ...No. That's not so bad, either.

[Gintama 699 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 1: Right: For real this time we're heading to the end! Gin: Oh! Smasll red: With the opening color pages, and it's 53 pages long! MIddle: Running 3 issues in a row
Page 2-3: Big Red Text: It's back!! Just barely making in under the deadline!! The off-the-charts crazy manga!! Purple Right: ☆Thanks for the great fanfare for the Silver Soul Arc!! And now, we head for the end...! For the return, here's some opening color pages and a special expanded 53-page chapter!! Bottom Blue: Sorachi Hideaki Red: Lesson 699 Sakata Gintoki and his Comrades Bottom Left Blue: Hurry to the next page for the manga!!
Page 4: Insert: What the hell is going on...?! Narration: Summary up to this point A universe-scale war intended to bring an end to everything was created by the immortal majin Utsuro. But by the power of the Yorozuya and their comrades, he disappeared into the swirling Dragon Veins. But as Utsuro was a being born from those Dragon Veins, an element of him lived on deep underground inside the Dragon Veins. Two years later, his body was successfully reconstructed and he revived out of a remote Dragon Hole.
Page 5: Narr: Having predicted that Utsuro would be revived, Gintoki had set out on a journey. And along the way he encountered it... But as he still did not know just what this baby was, he could not bring himself to lay a hand on it. Though also searching for Utsuro was a group lead by the remnants of the Tendoushuu, a religious group called the 'Seibouists', who took Utsuro from him. They needed Utsuro himself in order to manipulate Utsuro's blood in order to create a perfect form of 'immortality'. But just before he fell into their clutches, a personality that seemed very much like that of 'Yoshida Shouyou' was discovered to be dwelling within Utsuro's body. He entrusted his own heart to Gintoki in order to prevent the Seibouists from obtaining 'perfect immortality'. The master entrusted his disciple with his wish that his 'immortality' would no longer be misused and that no further monsters like him would be created. But that wish nearly started another meaningless, foolish war. Having obtained Utsuro's incomplete body, the Seibouists started targeting the Earth's Altana in order to fully revive him.
Page 6: Narr: Takasugi and Katsura, who were acting undercover to track the movements of the Seibouists, met up with Gintoki and in order to grant their master's wish, and in order to save their master, decided to take Utsuro back. They made their way into the the Seibouists as they advanced, seeking the Earth's Altana to the location of the final battle, the Terminal. Will Gintoki and the others be able to save their master? Will the Z Fighters be able to grasp the future?
Page 7: Zura: How about I just pound the sumamry into your heaaaad?!! Handwritten: Wolf Fang Fist! Zura: The art style's changed too much! This looks like a summary for an entirely different manga!! Honestly, this looks like a Dragonball fan comic!! What in the world happened when we moved from Jump to Giga?!! Gin: Dregen Bale? What're you talking about, Ketsura? Zura: It's not Ketsura, it's Katsura!! 'Ol Sorachi's finally gotten serious. After he was released from the weekly publication, he finally managed to put some real power into his drawings. This is his true artistry power. Zura: All he's doing is drawing with a Dragonball in his left hand!! And anyhow, why am I Yamcha while this guy is Vegeta?! Why do I get saddled with the loser role?! Taka: This is ridiculous. I'm not sticking around with you. Zura: Mugh! I hate to admit it, but you're the spitting image of him, aren't you? When did you master the widow's peak?
Page 8: Gin: You guys just don't get it. We've gone beyond the final chapter. We've gone beyond jump. And now we've finally made it here. To a place with none of those eyesore pirate senpais and no more cheeky kouhais either, this new holy land of Jump Giga! And now, the world is within our grasp. Here, we can become legends! SFX: BIRI BIRI (SPARK SPARK) Gin: Whadda ya say we show those newbies with their shit sales just what power we've got?! With this GIGA's SFX: DOH Gin: Akira Toriyama power!
Page 9: Gin: Well, Shouyou, looks like somehow or another it worked out. Shou: Yeah!! Gin: No matter what anybody says, somehow or another it worked out. Didn' iiiiiiiit?!! Narr: And this is as far as we can show you of the grand adventure of Gintoki and his comrades. They'll probably get into all sorts of trouble from here, but I'm sure they'll be able to overcome it all as well. It'll be okay. They have the Silver Balls after all...!! Taka: What the hell are the Silver Balls? Handwritten: Galick Gun Taka: Are they balls that grant wishes? Or is it that empty ball that sits on top of your neck? Well if there are some handy balls like that around, then there's no reason for you or me to thrash around a place like this. But... Let me show my thanks. SFX: ZAH
Page 10: Taka: Thanks to that, we were able to make it here on our own power. We took quite the detour, but without anyone else's help, with purely our own hands, we'll be able to take that person back...
Page 11: Taka: With the very same hands he was taken from, we will take him back. That's how we, the disciples of Shouyou, do business. GUys: Fi- SFX: KORO KORO (ROLL)
Page 13: SFX: DO DO SFX: GAGAGA WAA Guys: Eliminate them!!
Page 14: Guys: Any heretic that interferes in our god-channeling ceremony... shall feel our wrath!! SFX: WAAAA Zura: God-channeling? Sounds like something a bunch of folks swarming to an immortality bargain sale would say. Look, their ship has fallen, but it's still sucking up the Earths Altana through the Terminal's core. It's a vile sight not unlike that of a blood-sucking leech. With that massive amount of energy, you could even revive an incomplete god without a heart. If you could gain control over such a power, the idea of a world where everyone lives for all eternity would not be a dream. ...Or at least that's what they seem to be saying.
Page 15: Zura: Honestly, I'm surprised that there are so many people that would go through such lengths to extend their lives. SFX: GA GA GA GA Guys: Do only those that live lives of little consequence try to extend them? I've had plenty. Sadness, happiness, I'm satisfied with this life. If I can overcome this final trial with you two, SFX: DOU
Page 16: Taka: If these lives end here, I'll have no regrets! Heh. Even now, I'm not sure if those meetings brought more sadness or joy, But if there's one thing we can say for sure...
Page 17: Taka: no matter how long I live from here, there's no chance I'll ever meet guys like that again. SFX: DOOO SFX: DOON DOON DOOO GUys: We may hate each other and try to kill each other, SFX: GOPAA SFX: GOGOO Someone: but still,
Page 18: Someone: they're bonds we can't sever. Being swung around by such rotten bonds... by such a bunch of idiots...
Page 19: Guys: is something I wanna limit to this life!! SFX: DO DOH SFX: WAAAA Guys: Owww... Gin: Is that so? Too bad for you though, you two can't die yet.
Page 20: Gin: 'Cause I won't let you. I understand how they feel. I don't want to die yet. I want to keep living a lot longer. Cause both the idiot master that put his disciples through all this, and the idiot fellow disciples that tossed me around, I still have to beat the crap out of a whole lot more.
Page 21: Someone: You know, I have things I want to say to Sensei, too. Taka: I've got a ton, myself. I wonder how much beating I'd need to do before I'd feel satisfied? ........... I think... even an eternity wouldn't be enough.
Page 22: Someone: ----Sensei, if you were here right now, what would you say? You entrusted us, your disciples, with all sorts of your wishes, but the thing you really wished for has already long since been...
Page 23: SFX: GOU SFX: GAH Someone: JUUUUUMP!! SFX: DOGAAA SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO Someone: Zura!! !! SFX: DO DO DO DO DO
Page 24: SFX: WAAAAA Zura: Geez, I never knew how popular Sensei was. From this side, too. Even if we had a whole slew of lives, would that not be enough to make it though? Taka: No, three should be plenty. Though if one of them exits here, I can't be so sure. Zura: Is that supposed to be encouragement? Taka: If that's what it sounded like, then maybe making an exit would be a good idea.
Page 25: SFX: DOON SFX: GOON Guys: !! That was... No way...
Page 26: Someone: This is an message to the group that is occupying the Terminal. SFX: OOOOOO Matsu: You are surrounded. Stop resisting and abandon your weapons immediately. If you do not comply... Guys: Shoot them out of the skyyyyy!!! SFX: WAAAA
Page 27: SFX: GOPAA DODOOO Matsu: If you do not comply we will thank you.
Page 28: Matsu: Thanks to all of you, we, this country, has become so strong.
Page 29: SFX: WAH Guys: It's them...!! SFX: DOU Kon: It's been decades since you Amanto first came to Earth. You shook our sense of values to its core, did away with the old, and brought in the new. And all through that chaotic era we lived out lives in a stat of confusion and worry, but now, we can say those days were not a waste.
Page 30: Kon: During that changing era, we found some precious things we'll never forget. During an era when things were disappearing, we found some precious things that we had to protect. Tsuku: The shadows on the ground of us worrying, struggling, and down on our hands and knees... taught us the location of the sun. So we will no longer be afraid. No matter what arrives at this country beyond this point, no matter what difficulties are awaiting it, we'll face them all head-on.
Page 31: Someone: We can finally say them, huh? Those words we couldn't say to you Amanto on that day 20 years ago.
Page 32: Someone: Welcome to the Country of Samurai!
Page 33: Guys: This is the country... of those with steel hearts. The country of people... with silver souls. Let us welcome you!!
Page 34: SFX: WAAAA SFX: DOOON Guys: Nooooow!! We can cut our way through!! Tottsan, back us up!! Scatter the enemy's guard! Matsu: Forget slow tactics like that. We should just hit that mother ship sitting up there head on! That thing is drawing all the Altana it's sucking up from the Terminal to one place. Kon: We dunno what'll happen if we shoot up that thing, but leave that to us!!
Page 35: Matsu: A raid where we try to go straight for the enemy general's head. Geez, what era of aamurai are we? Kon: Heh. For that, there's no past or present. The same old idiots are called samurai. Someone: Yo! You sure took your time! You took so long we thought you might've turned tail and ran. SFX: ZAN Someone: And if there's no palanquin to carry, it's not a real festival! SFX: DOH
Page 36: Kagu: Hohoh. So you finally admit that we Yorozuya are the superior ones, yes? Someone: Heh. Where'd you get that from? If we're gonna have a wild time anyhow, it's way more interesting if you're lifting a total idiot on your shoulders while you do! Shin: Well then, I don't think we're worthy of that position. How about we go to where the real palanquin is? For one last wild time? Tendou: It appears that a prolonged battle is unavoidable.
Page 37: Tendou: We should regroup. Our goal is not a war nor to commit terrorism. Those are purely means to the end of obtaining Utsuro's complete body and invent a means of manufacturing immortality. Even if we revived Utsuro, if we lost the religion in the process, we would be right back where we started. We would lose the means of manufacturing immortality as well as the power to restore our positions. Ten: There is no need for concern. Everything is progressing nicely. Look closely. As expected, Utsuro is taking in the Earth's Altana splendidly. Look, our god is pleased. His chest... The Earth's Altana he's absorbed is forming into a crystal...
Page 38: Tendou: Do you mean to say it's creating a new heart...?! Soon... Just a bit longer and our god... Utsuro will awaken. That's plenty, is it not?! Have we not gained enough? Any longer and it will become too difficult to withdraw from this front! If that happens, everything will be for naught. We should proceed with preparations to retreat! SFX: DOH DOH Ten: How do you feel? Guys: Guu.... GH. Ten: Are your bodies not doing what you tell them to? Fear not. It was the same for me. But I was mistaken. I had thought I was acting on my own will.
Page 39: Ten: Think back. We stole Utsuro's blood which destroyed our bodies, but it was through the use of that same blood that we were revived. Though that was by no means because we found some method of controlling this immortal blood. The ones being controlled were us. We were allowed to live so we could be used. Used to revive Utsuro. By the elements of Utsuro that now run through our veins. We have long since lost any wills of our own. Creating the religion as well as coming to this planet were all none other than Utsuro's will.
Page 40: Ten: We are already a part of Utsuro. We are his arms and legs. ---Now stand. By the command of that internal will. What you should use those hands to grasp, where you should use those legs to move, if you surrender yourself to that great will, then the elements of Utsuro will give you strength. We will carry out our, Utsuro's, will. Someone: Looks like we couldn't escape them.
Page 41: Zura: We knew they were the kind of people that would come if they knew. That's why we split up from them and took a separate paths in the first place. The ones to bear the burden of saving or killing master is us, his disciples. It seems the idea of not getting the people we were entrusting the world to roped into that was too much of a luxury. Perhaps we took up that burden as well long ago. They really have gotten strong.
Page 42: Binboku: Ready yourselves. This is where we die. SFX: JAKI Tae: Kyuu-chan! Kyuu: We'll hold them off here! Shinpachi-kun, Kagura-chan, you take care of Tae-chan! If you meet them, tell them this for me. I've decided I'd like to keep on being idiots with you guys a little longer. So if I live to see you again... then why don't you come destroy the plans I had for a marriage interview? Someone: ...Gintoki, hand over the 'heart'. I told you, didn't I? I'm not entrusting this task to someone playing games of pretend. Go.
Page 43: Taka: There's something way more fitting for you to be carrying with you than that heart, right? I have what I have to take back, and you have what you need to take back... SFX: GOUN SFX: ZUGAGAGAGA SFX: DODODODODODo
Page 44: SFX: GO GO GO GO SFX: OOO OOOO SFX: GA PA SFX: DO DOO OO SFX: GAPO
Page 45: SFX: DOGOOO SFX: OOOOO Gin: We should hurry. Taka: ..... SFX: DO DO DO DO DO SFX: WAAAA Tsuku: Get movin', Shinpachi!! Kagura!!
Page 46: Sa: Tsukky!! SFX: DO DO DO SFX: ZAZAU Sa: You weren't planning to die at a place liek this, were you? You finally got out of Yoshiwara, right? When you die, it should be between the legs of the man you love. Hattori: Sarutobi, I wish you'd come to grips with the idea that in both living and dying, shinobi should be hidden, unseen in the shadows. Saru: At the very least, I have no plans of dying anywhere near your blood-covered crotch. Tsuku: I do not intend to die with anyone. SFX: Hm
Page 47: Tsuku: I'm gonna live on and see him again. Kagu: Sacchaan!! Tsukyy!! Tsu: So until them, you guys'd better take care of him! Sa: You Yorozuya are the only ones taht can protect that man! Hatto: And tell him this. If he doesn't come back, I'm throwing out all the old issues of Jump that you missed reading. Gin: ----Takasugi, there's no longer anything that I gotta take back.
Page 48: Gin: The things I lost, I got back a long time ago. I've got them all right here with me. The reason I'm here is so I don't lose a single one of them. SFX: DOPAA
Page 52: Gin: Now we're even. You're one guy I'd rather not owe a favor to. Taka: What a coincidence, I'd say the same about you.
Page 53: Someone: Hurry up, already. You don't plan on just letting Zura die, do you? .......... Right.

Page 1: Insert: The right path to take is---- Title: #080 Equivalent Exchange and The University Hospital Part 4
Page 2-3: Mitsu: An 'equivalent exchange'...?! What does that mean, Yasuho-san?!! Insert: What did she trade away?! Mitsu: Just 'what things' are you saying I traded?! SFX: CRNCH CRNCH CRNCHH CRNCH CRNCH Doc: Just another minute. SFX: CRNCH CRNCH CRNCH AHMPH SFX: CRNCHH CRNCH SFX: GLUG GLUG Paper: Nori Doc: Now then... shall we get down to business? Mitsu: Uu-sensei... Where are you taking me for today's examination? SFX: SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK Uu: Where...? To the gynecology department, of course. Mitsu: The gynecology department?
Page 4: Doc: You there. Everything should be fine alone in this examination room... so would you mind waiting outside...? Nurse: ...... Doc: I'll call you when I need you... Do please close the door, won't you? Higashikata Mitsuba-san... Please lay down on the examination table.
Page 5: Mitsu: So, um, what I'd like you to heal for me is the 'allergic reaction' I've had... on the skin under my hair. You made my breasts so beautifully-shaped, and you fixed the shape of my teeth and chin before, Uu-sensei. But do you double as both an orthapedic surgeon... and a gynecologist, Uu-sensei? Uu: ...When you were a child, did adults ever tell you not to expect to do things well on your first try? They would say how people fail in order to learn... no?
Page 6: Uu: But speaking personally... I have never experienced a failure. I have not failed. Not a single time... in my life. In school exams... the national doctor exam... my driving test to get a license... I passed them all on the first try. I've never failed when it comes to love, either. Because if I sense anything wrong with a woman to begin with, I do not approach her. Now then... Please take off your dress... and lay down, if you wouldn't mind. Mitsu: .......
Page 7: Doc: The nurse that was on duty there until a moment ago had some capillaries burst recently, it would seem. Her eyes... they were red. Also her wrists and fingertips were purple from blood congestion. She's... tying her body up with a rope... On a daily basis. Mitsu: ............ A-A rope...? What do you mean? Uu: At her own behest, I expect. I respect that nurse's personal night-time interests. But for me, such pleasure-seeking is nothing but trouble. So I drove her out of the room. It would be only a minus for me were she to invite me out somewhere. I must steer clear of any predictable failures.
Page 8: Uu: 100% of patients I accept are healed. All patents want to be 100% haled. And I make those desires come true. Higashikata Mitsuba-san, your head skin, beautiful chest, and lower-jaw are all connected to your body. ["connected" in italics.] Other doctors have only their own specializations and rely on others, which can cause reporting omissions. So I take care of the whole gynecology field as well. This is your "13th week", isn't it... Higashikata-san? Mitsu: ...... What did you say...?
Page 9: Uu: You're pregnant. Do you want to hear... if it's a boy or a girl? Mitsu: ........... What Uu-sensei... said after that... I can't remember... I was brought into a room further into the gynecology department... SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO
Page 10: Mitsu: 'What' did he do...?! That's all I can remember... Just the moment when I saw those 'fruits'... SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO Mitsu: I don't have any memory past there... SFX: GO GO Mitsu: Then I ran into you in the hallway, Yasuho-san. I definitely went to a gynecology department room... I came here... to Uu-sensei so he would cure the dry skin on my head... And it was indeed fully healed.
Page 11: Mitsu: But what kind of treatment was it...? Why can't I remember? The first procedure I had was a breast enlargement. After that was treatment to even my teeth. Sign: Orthopedic Surgery Outpatient Doctor Uu Tomoki Both of them made me very pretty, and left me both very satisfied and happy. I've been to see Uu-sensei many times now, but I can't remember what the actual treatment was like. I've spent... "200 million yen" in money I've kept secret from my family here.
Page 12-13: Mitsu: Yasuho-san... what is "equivalent exchange"...?! Is that rule absolute? And then 'what' was it? "What" in the world did I trade away?! SFX: DO DO DO Yasu: It's... coming at us from behind?! It's flying at us through the air!! SFX: DO DO DO SFX: BUWAA SFX: GEBOH SFX: DO DO DO DO Yasu: Don't breathe in! SFX: BANN BAH

So we're sure to be seen by 'someone' in this hospital. Whereas it's just our prognostication that 'someone' in this hospital has the 'Rokakaka branch'. All we know really is that Holly-san is hospitalized here. Jou: We have to search deeper inside.

Page 12: Mitsu: I'm sorry but, you must be mistaken. That isn't the case. I simply came here to the hospital to get treatment for the allergic reaction I had with the skin on my head.

Did you drink it?!!
Page 14: Mitsu: Administer? Drink...? Yasuho: Remember!! Also there should've been an 'equivalent exchange'!! Mitsu: 'Equivalent exchange'...? Yasu: The trade that happens with a 'Rokakaka' is that some 'part' of your body is always traded with 'another part'. So when it cured 'the skin on your head' with the allergy, there was a definitely a trade off somewhere 'else'... So that means, Mitsuba-san, SFX: ZUZUZU GUGU Yasu: You're not perfect!! ...'Something' is missing!!

I'm certain that's what I saw on the ambulance back then. But there's no record of the 3-11 ambulance going anywhere during the time the Higashikata orchard was on fire. There are no records of ambulance workers here, either. In fact, there's no ambulance with a license plate number 3-11 here at all.
Page 7: Jou: It's just some "ambulance" that showed up from somewhere. ["somewhere" in italics] And they took the 'Rokakaka branch'.

I saw Mitsuba-san being pushed in a wheelchair just now. Jou: A wheelchair? Yasu: Um... I just saw it for a quick second from far away through the gap in an open door, but... Mitsuba-san's knees were covered in a blanket when she was in that wheelchair... And it might've just been because of the lighting, but... something seemed "odd" about Mitsuba-san's legs under that blanket... Jou: ? What're you trying to say?

Not that there was any surgery... Amazing, aren't they? I'd say they're no worse than when I was in my teens. You're 19 right now, aren't you Yasuho-san?
Page 27: SFX: SAH Mitsu: ...... You know, back in my school days, I was Miss Cherry. Lelo [Heart] As the winner of a contest, I got to travel to China and Europe for the fruit of Japan. That's how I got to know my husband Joubin and ended up marrying into the Higashikata family. I was even a model for Higashikata Fruit Parlor ads. From when I was young to even after I had Tsurugi. I had support from the whole family and it helped sales, too.

After becoming the wife of the Higashikata family, even if I'm a mom, I have to keep turning heads or it's all over for me. Yasu: Mitsuba-san, I'm asking you something very simple. If you came here for an exam... then where is attending physician, Uu-sensei, that you came to see? He's not anywhere in here! Mitsu: Oh...? Hm? You know... Now that you mention it... you're right. There are no other doors or windows the doctor could have gone out through.

Shuu: Hey, Plant Appraiser! What the hell kinda plant starts baring fruit in just 10 days?! You really expect us to buy that, asshole?!
Page 12: Rai: If you do a 'graft' of the branch to a "cactus", then it's possible. Grafting makes branches prone to getting diseased... Taking that risk into account, putting it in a potted plant is a logical course of action. It's likely hidden somewhere, grafted to a potted 'cactus'. That's what we need to find! Nori: A potted cactus. SFX: GULP Bin: ...... Hato: Hey, Daddy~~~ The two weeks for the 'Rokakaka' fruit is important and all, but what about our ancestral orchard? It burned down! What're we gonna do now?! It's gonna take years and years to get back to how it was! I'll be an old granny by then! Shuu: Big Sis Hato... On that subject... Heh
Page 13: Shuu: Listen to me~~! I've got an idea that'll put everybody's minds at ease! I'm the Higashikata family second son that everybody counts on, ya know! Until new fruit trees grow... we can do a new business with the burnt land. ...So then there won't be any changes with the job of the Higashikata family orchard. Hato: New business? Daiya: Huuh? Whadda you mean? Shuu: We start a "matsutake mushroom hunting tour" in the orchard! Morioh's full 'a vacation home families, so I'm sure they'll be plenty who'll drop their money on that! Daiya: Mushroom hunting? Hato: Where the hell are there 'matsutake mushrooms' growing on our land? Shuu: It's a tour where you search out a target! We just gotta stick four or five under some leaves somewhere. Like maybe some from China.
Page 14: Shuu: The mystery and romance of villa land! For spring we'll do a 'bamboo shoot hunting tour'. Daiya: Big Bro Joushuu! Jou: Let's adopt some red pandas and make a go-kart track! Daiya: Bro! Hey, Big Bro Joushuu, listen! Shuu: What is it... Daiya? Daiya: Everybody left. Shuu: Huh?! Wh-Where'd they go? Daiya: But I like your ideas! I'll be cheering you on, Big Bro! [Heart after the fist sentence] It's a tradition in the Higashikata family not to get much recognition when you're still pretty young after all! Shuu: Da~~~d! Hato-cha~~n! C'mon, ya gotta hear me out! Rai: Wait, Jousuke...
Page 15: Rai: About the one who lit the orchard on fire, it wasn't Poor Tom. Jou: ...... Rai: And it wasn't 'The ones in the ambulance'. Poor Tom only came to the orchard because it was on fire. ["because" in italics] Poor Tom came in order to prevent the 'branch' from being destroyed in the fire or recovered by us.
Page 16: Jou: It wasn't Poor Tom...? Then, Mamezuku-san, who're you saying lit the fire? Rai: After seeing the whole family together just now, I figured it out. The culprit is "Joubin". "Joubin" lit the orchard on fire. Jou: What...? "Joubin"... The eldest son? Well, he definitely has some views that differ from Norisuke-san's. But be that as it may, he wouldn't try to burn the 'Rokakaka' branch. He wants it, too. Also... Poor Tom's attack was against the entire Higashikata family! If he'd gone outside, he would've died. And the branch was taken! If he'd ventured outside at all though a window or a door, Joubin would've died immediately! Rai: I can't prove it, but I know something was going on... We can't trust that eldest son. I could tell by his attitude and how he talked. Joubin 'lit the fire'.
Page 16: Rai: One way to look at it is we were able to defeat 'Poor Tom' won because the fire was lit. ["because" in italics] It's because of the fire that we were able to avoid everyone being killed. Poor Tom's Stand... We were just on the brink of losing to that pressure attack. Jou: The 'fire' was Joubin... ...... Rai: Something's going on with Joubin. We need to keep an eye on him. I'll start a stealth investigation. Jou: The threat right now is the people that were in the 'ambulance'. We've got to get that 'branch' back.
Page 17: Rai: Let's go. The number on the ambulance's license plate was '3-11', right? Plate: Mori SFX: BAaAAaA
Page 21: Woman: Go right on in to examination room D. Doc: Please have a seat, Higashikata Mitsuba-san. How are you feeling today? Mitsu: My ears can't hear at all, my allergies are really acting up, and I keep having trouble breathing, it really hurts.
Page 22: Doc: It seems as though your ears are working fine... Mitsu: It's just my right ear that can't hear anything! My left one can hear fine. I think it's got to be allergies and anaphylaxis. This morning I stopped breathing and fell unconscious. Doc: Well, let's have a look. Please lay back in the seat. SFX: W I I I I I SFX: CRNCH CRNCH SFX: CRNCH Doc: Ah... My apologies. I didn't get a chance to eat lunch yet. I'll be done in a just moment. Do you mind? SFX: CRNCH CRNCH CRNCH
Page 26: Doc: Okay..! All done. I don't see anything at all unusual. We didn't see any issues in the results from your blood test a few days ago. You're in perfect health.
Page 27: Mitsuba: Hmm?!! SFX: GABAAH Mitsu: I can't hear out of my right ear at all! And this morning I had these awful convulsions and collapsed unconscious! Doc: Higashikata-san, your ear can hear perfectly well. You've just convinced yourself that you can't. Just to be sure, I'll be giving you the usual atopy medicine. I still haven't had lunch... so if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to continue eating... is that all right? SFX: CRNCH CRNCH SFX: CRNCH CRNCH CRNCH CRNCH Mitsu: The first time I came to this hospital... it was because my chest... was sagging...
Page 28: Mitsuba: And then I got treatment to lift them. Yes... Of course, I'm very appreciative of that. I love how they are now. They're in a wonderful shape like they were in my teens. But in exchange, the my teeth got worse! 24 of them! My teeth became like rocks, I started drooling, and nothing I ate tasted good anymore! Whenever I was in front of people, I always had to cover my mouth like this. Doc: Higashikata-san. I don't think there's any causal relation to this matter. The shape of your breasts and your teeth are completely unrelated. What's more, both of them have been fully treated. Mitsu: First you did my breasts... and then treated my teeth, and now... my right ear is like this! It's like a rock, I can't hear anything!!
Page 29: Doc: Sh~~~~~~ Please, relax, m'am... Take deep, slow, breaths... You're perfectly fiiine... It's all okay. There are no problems to speak of.
Page 30: Doc: Water. Would you mind if I drank some? It's a supplement with a high concentration of silicon. Do you mind if I indulge? Mitsu: ...No. Go right ahead. SFX: GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG SFX: GLUP Mitsu: ...... Doc: So, as I explained earlier, there's nothing wrong with you. The hardening of the skin on your head and such... isn't anything life-threatening. I'll issue you medicine, but even I sometimes get hard skin on my head at times. Would you like to see? My hair is a bit crunchy. Mitsu: That's okay.
Page 31: Mitsu: I've kept it a secret from my husband that this hospital gave me such pretty-shaped breasts. I do let my husband touch them, but he hasn't noticed them in that way. He didn't notice when my teeth were like rocks either... Though recently he's been doting on our 10 year-old son quite a bit, keeping him close. So when he goes to kiss me, he'll bring his arm behind my ear and my child will notice the skin under my hair! When a child notices something, they always ask 'why'! Please, doctor... You're always so good at treating me. It doesn't have to be perfect, but please, you've got to help me!
Page 32: SFX: WHSPR WHSPR Mitsu: ....... SFX: GACHARI Guy: "One time" only. Higashikata-san. If this is a "one-time" situation, then I'm able. I have a... "perfect" treatment method.
Page 33: Doc: I haven't recommended this to any other patients thus far. It's a very special treatment that's not legally recognized or known. Medically speaking, it's the newest of the new. Because of that, it's extraordinarily high-priced. SFX: GO GO GO GO Mitsu: I have money. Money has been no object from the start. Doc: 200 million yen. That's a "one-time" only price.
Page 34-35: Mitsu: ..................... ..."200 million yen". And... you're sure you can "perfectly" cure this rock-like skin? Doc: Just... to make things perfectly clear, Higashikata-san, you are perfectly healthy. This is your decision to make.

Page 41: Jou: Look at this 'branch'. Pop's 'plant appraiser'... he got done in by 'Poor Tom's' pressure, but he really was something... These are 'bugs'. There are special 'bugs' planted inside this 'branch'. By 'grafting' it on to this cactus plant, it'll grow faster. The 'Rokakaka branch' and this farrow cactus have already fused... But just to be sure, let's apply some adhesive. With this method, it shouldn't be too long before we can harvest the 'fruit'. For example, the record for flowers is the gigantea, which will grow 'flowers' 14 days after being grafted.
Page 42: Tsurugi: Will the fruit grow? ...Wh... Where do we put it? Jou: I'm thinking about that. Listen closely, Tsurugi. By father... Norisuke, your Grandpa, cares a whole lot about you. Grandpa is your ally... and we're all a family. That being said... this 'branch' is a different case. You must not talk about this 'branch'. It's a secret to everyone. If you talk to Grandpa Norisuke about this 'branch', then Grandpa Norisuke will lose to the 'enemy'. ...That's because his way of thinking is weak.
Page 43: Joubin: Right now... our enemies, family, everyone, thinks that the 'branch' was lost in this orchard fire. And Jousuke is in despair over it being taken.

Page 2-3: The 'pears' that the boy's parents grew were judged to have magnificent sweetness, and won awards at competitions for it. The money they made from their orchard at the end of fall rose to 80 million yen. Still, where the boy's parents failed in operating their orchard was not due to typhoons, droughts, or anything to do with the weather, ["weather" in italics] nor was it because of the increase of wild Japanese monkeys which were a major pest towards pears, it was because their cultivation techniques leaked to other people in the industry. They came in the night. It was an early morning after summer had ended--- they went to check the trees they'd been looking after since the previous winter, and not a single pear was left remaining on the trees. Even the trees themselves where cut down. The usurpers were with some local moneylenders. SFX: GOOOO Narr: The father and mother were backed into a corner--- and forced to part with the orchard. [It says "The father and man" which doesn't make sense I'm kinda guessing it's a typo here.] SFX: OOOO

They should counteract the poison for me. But the windows 'a those vehicles---
Page 38: The people in that ambulance... Are they comin' here with their windows open...? If the vehicles' doors 'n windows and shit are all closed, that'll be a 'barrier'. and if they get within the 100 meter range, the inside of the ambulance will 'pressurize', too... Well, not like they know what's goin' on here. Those ambulance windows... I get the feeling they're headed this way with them closed. SFX: UUUU UUUU UUUU Tom: Because they're comrades...

Uh..?! Wha...? Guys: CLOSE THE DOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! SFX: DRIP DRIP DRIP SFX: BADAM Tsuru: H-Hato-chan!! Daiya-chaaaaaan!! SFX: DOSAAH SFX: DODO DO SFX: DO

If the house's doors and windows are closed... then Joushuu and my Dad in the dining room are facing the same thing!! U... Uuh! Tsurugi: Do you know the 'user' of thing thing that's attacking us, Dad?! Were you friends with this 'enemy'?! Jou: Tsurugi... SFX: DO DO DO DO
Page 7: Jou: I'm sorry you got roped into all this. And I don't mind if you doubt my actions... or think I'm a bad person, but I'm doing what I'm doing with your well being in mind. Do you believe that? Tsuru: ... ...Yes. SFX: NOD Jou: Then we can kill that Poor Tom man. We'll need quite a bit of resolve to do so, though. Tsuru: HAA HAA HAA Jou: P-'Pressure'. What's 'happening to the pressure' here? And if we stay here, what's gonna happen to Hato-chan and Daiya-chan? And Grandpa! And Joushuu! SFX: HAA HAA GAHAH
Page 8: Jou: If I were to use 'water pressure' as an example, a sperm whale can apparently dive to a maximum depth of 2,000 meters. But the world record for a human 'skin diving' is only 214 meters. A trained human can withstand '21 atmospheres' of pressure. While bare in mind it's only going to go up a little at a time, but that's where we're headed. We'll probably be at that level in a few minutes. But rest assured, we're not gonna get to 21 atmospheres. That's because we're going to beat Poor Tom and his Stand before that happens... Tsuru: B... But then... what'll happen to us... after 21 atmospheres? SFX: HAA HAA Tsuru: And if we just open a window, we'll die, right? The air in our guts and stuff will expand inside our blood vessels and explode! We can't go out of here at all!! Beat him? We can't even fight, right...?! Jou: So we won't go outside... We'll take down Poor Tom right from here. SFX: HAA HAA
Page 9: Tsu: Dad, even I can tell that this ability is a 'long-range automatic attack'! So I really doubt the user... That Poor Tom guy is anywhere near this house! Jou: Yes... Exactly. He's hidden far away... He's at a safe place where we definitely can't reach him... Just waiting... without a care in the world. SFX: ROLL ROLL ROLL SFX: ROLL ROLL SFX: BZZZZ ROLL ROLL ROLL
Page 10: SFX: BZZZZ ROLL ROLL Woman: ............ At the place near the parking lot! ......Yea~~~h. I remember... My business card... did you write it down? How long are you gonna keep licking? They say they wanna talk to you. Here.
Page 11: Tom: A phone call...? ? For me? Someone: Listen, you... You told me that finding the 'Rokakaka Fruit' was impossible, that there was no way you could get it now, so you'd given up... ["given up" in italics] That's what you told me before, right...? Is that what you really think? I think the only way I'll find out is if I put it to the test... Look! ["Look" big] SFX: CRCKL CRCKL

And that's my cell phone, ya know... SFX: DAN Tsu: 'Paper Moon! Frog...' Dad, y-you lit our orchard on fire? SFX: GUO NN
Page 14: Tsuru: So, no one knows where the 'Rokakaka Branch' is exactly... but if it's somebody in the orchard, it'll burn!! Jou: Of course it will... SFX: GO O O O O H Jou: I don't think any different. But when everyone sees these flames... They'll be very concerned about the fate of the 'branch'! SFX: O O O Jou: Here's where we need resolve. We have to win this. Jou: Tsurugi... Your 'Paper Moon'. I had you fold up my cell phone an take it outside just now, but I need you to do more...Turning this paper into origami, what can you make? SFX: OO HAA HAA HAA Tsuru: A fire truck.
Page 15: Jou: A fire truck. I like the idea... Ok, go ahead. SFX: KASAH SFX: SFFT Jou: Wait! ...I think we can soak some more kerosene into it. There! Okay, send it out! SFX: GLUG GLUG SFX: SPLISH SFX: PUKUH SFX: BOING SPLISH SPLISH
Page 17: Jou: The 'branch' will burn... But if nothing happens and the 'Rokakaka Fruit' is destroyed by the fire, then everyone loses! SFX: O O O O O O O Jou: But he should be here... ["he" in italics] He must be nearby! 'Jousuke' must be somewhere around this orchard. And the plant appraiser, too! Now, how course of action will he take? SFX: OOO Jou: "Jousuke" should make a move... I'm confident we're walking the 'path of righteousness'. So I'm certain we'll win this in the end! SFX: HAA HAA
Page 18-19: Rai: It's that door!! Jousuke, close the door!! Keep it closed! We can't go outside right now!! SFX: DRIP DRIP DRIP GABAH DO DO DO DO Jou: This is... an enemy attack... SFX: ZUN DROP DROP DO DO SFX: BONN SFX: DRUBB
Page 20: Jou: Mamzuku-san! SFX: DO DO Jou: Th... This is a 'pressure' attack! At some point, the 'pressure increased' in this passageway without us noticing! SFX: DO DO Jou: The enemy knows we're here! The 'enemy' must be outside! They've already found us!! SFX: DO DO DO Rai: Wait! SFX: DAH! Rai: Jousuke, hold on! That can't be right!
Page 21: Rai: Maybe if we were sitting under the arbor, but Norisuke-san hasn't even told his eldest son Joubin about this underground passageway! There's no way anyone knows about it! There's no way anyone's found out that we've come here!! Jou: Look at the proof! This passageway is under attack! Rai: The Rokakaka's location hasn't been found out! This is probably a long-range automatic trap! Probably just in case we got close to the orchard! It's an attack to keep us from getting away once we came here! Jou: I guess that could be... I don't know... Then, Mamezuku-san, tell me this. I can see what's going on outside through the window in this hatch. How do you explain what's going on outside?
Page 22-23: Jou: The entire orchard is on fire! What in the world is this person thinking?! They must be trying to burn the 'Rokakaka branch'!!
Page 24: Rai: What...? SFX: GO O O O O O O O Guys: Where are they? Where's the enemy that lit the fire? [Top left] The 'branch' is still all right. [Bottom right] SFX: O O O O Someone: But the fire's approaching it. SFX: O O Rai: Because the enemy's lost track of me... and lost track of the Rokakaka... rather than let the 'Rokakaka branch' fall into our hands... they're going to burn down the whole orchard. They're intending to slaughter us along with the Higashikata family. Jou: Slaughter? MUH
Page 25: SFX: FLOAAT SFX: FOON Jou: This enemy... They're trying to get us out in the open and slaughter us... There's no doubt about that... But... SFX: OOO
Page 26: Jou: it seems like they have some other goal in lighting the orchard on fire. Right now, at this point where it's possible the 'branch' might burn... and disappear forever. Rai: 'Goal'? Jou: They lit this orchard on fire with a 'goal in mind'! SFX: GO O O O O O O O O O Someone: D- Dad... ...U. Uuuh.... SFX: BEGOOOO SFX: GO O O O
Page 27: Tsu: Th-The 'pressure' in here... H-how much... is it at now? Jou: I-I think it's just past 15 atmospheres... SFX: HAA HAA HAAA HAA O O O O SFX: BEKON SFX: GUSHA GUSHAH Jou: Tsurugi... Don't think about that... All we can do is wait... There's no time, but... we have to wait. Tsurugi: 'Iwasuke'... SFX: HAA HAA Tsuru: D-Do you think he's okay...? SFX: GAHAH Jou: Before, across the parking lot... I saw Iwasuke going into his doghouse.
Page 28: Jou: Iwasuke most likely turned his body to stone inside the doghouse. If he's 'stone', I'd think he'll be able to withstand this. Tsu: If he's stone... he'll be able to withstand the pressure, huh...? Yeah, I'm sure he'll make it through. Jou: Tsurugi... Your Paper Moon origami. Next... is there anything you can make... that can fly? Tsuru: A crane. SFX: O O O O O O Jou: A crane... I like it. Make it.
Page 29: Rai: Jousuke... what on earth is going through your head? Get your hands off that wheel. SFX: O O O O Rai: Jousuke! Get away from that hatch right now! Jou: I'm thinking about the 'Rokakaka branch' out there. The flames are almost right under the 'branch! The roots of the tree are starting to burn! Rai: Are you saying you're going to go out that door? Jou: Well, 'going outside', at least... is something I can do.
Page 30-31: Jou: It should be possible. "Soft & Wet". SFX: SUUUUUH Jou: I'm going to go out this door... and collect the 'Rokakaka Branch' to get it out of harm from the flames! SFX: SHUH! Jou: With this enemy Stand, the between the inside and outside of a wall is 'boundary line'. If you're inside that boundary line, the air pressure goes up. So then if I wrap up the air with the walls of a soap bubble... the same rules should apply! The air will keep pressurizing, but I should be able to go out of the hatch like this! Rai: If you go out to get it, then the location of the 'branch' will be leaked to the enemy.
Page 32: Jou: And that... is what the 'enemy's' goal is. I'll be telling them where it is, giving them a chance to take it! ["chance" in italics.] SFX: GO GO GO GO GO Jou: But I can't just sit here and let the 'branch' disappear! Rai: ...... SFX: SUH Rai: If you go down that hall, and go through the door at the end of it... then keep going... and you'll reach the coast. It continues to a hidden passageway beneath the lone pine. If you go out the door at the end of it...
Page 33: Rai: we may be able to get out of the enemy's attack range. Have you thought of that? Jou: I have a woman waiting for this Rokakaka! I'm going to take back the past I lost! If Norisuke-san gets that Rokakaka, it should open the righteous path that brings everyone happiness. And if we lose this Rokakaka branch, all that will be left is despair! No matter what it takes, I cannot let the enemy get the Rokakaka or let it burn! ["or" in italics.]
Page 34: Rai: I like your style! ...So you're gonna open the door ...and go outside? ...This is an ability that kills you if you venture outside. So if that 'soap bubble' pops, you'll die. SFX: DOSHOOOMM
Page 35: Jou: I'm going to pen the door, go outside, walk over to the 'branch', collect it, and come back. The pressurization won't change. And then I'll go back into the passage and we'll go escape. Rai: Jousuke... I don't like this, but that speech of yours just now... I liked it. Parts of it, at least. I didn't care about the other parts, but the line about Norisuke-san struck a chord. Knowing Norisuke-san... with that 'new Rokakakak' branch, everyone should open up the righteous path and bring everyone happiness. That 'branch' is a demon plant! There's no human that can tame it! So I'll go collect it! SFX: GAPAH Jou: !
Page 36: Jou: M-Mamezuku-san! SFX: GOOO OO
Page 37: Rai: The 'branch'... has 4 "bugs" that have entered inside it. The 'branch' has to be broken off in a way that does not kill the bugs. If the 'bugs' die, the 'branch' will immediately wilt. Jousuke, that's a lot to take on your shoulders. SFX: OO O O Rai: If I shoot my wires out of this bubble, I should be able to break the 'branch' off without it dropping into the flames. SFX: GO O
Page 38-39: SFX: MUH GOOOO Jou: Tsurugi... Look. Walking out there! SFX: OOO HAA HAA Rai: Someone's appeared... inside a bubble! Who is that...? SFX: O O O Jou: The 'plant appraiser'... That must be the plant appraiser! He's finally arrived!
Page 40: Jou: He came out... I knew he was here! So that must mean Jousuke's here, too! The decided to go out to collect the "branch"! This is what we've been waiting for! SFX: DO DO DO DO DO SFX: DO DO DO DO SFX: CRCKL CRCKL CRCKL

Packages: Sausage [Black] 6-Pack [White] Fish [Small under 6-pack] Shuu: It's a value pack I bought at the super market. It's got 2 extra sausages for just 286 yen. So... What do you think, Dad?
Page 5: Nori: ...What do I think about... what? Shuu: The size. I'm measuring them. Do these sausages look like they're smaller than they used to be to you? Nori: Hmm. I'm thinkin' it's more the how neat they look from the recent change in design. Shuu: No! I don't buy it! They want it to look like their value packs are nothing but an increased number of sausages, ["look" in italics] but if you ask me, I think each individual sausage has less meat in them than they used to. It might be a trick. So recently I've been recording the precise 'weight' and 'length' of each sausage before eating them. There's no legal regulation for stuff like thi~~~s!

Page 7: Jou: Man, the Seiten Birdies... What do you think about sitting in these seats, Dad? I was hoping to get "two seats" behind the backstop... but I wasn't able to get the stadium people to help us out. SFX: WAAA WAA WAA WAA
Page 8: Jou: Same with the Trussardi Italian Restaurant, we sell our fruits there but when I called this afternoon, they said they were all booked and wouldn't give us a table! That chef is so damn conceited! Nori: If they're full, they're full. If you want a "seat", Joubin... you need to make a reservation and wait your turn. SFX: WAAA WAAA Jou: I don't want any of that...!! Our "Higashikata Fruit Parlor" has long been number 1 nationwide in the fruits industry. Do they know how much we've been contributing to this town since the damn Meiji era?! But as far as this town goes, we're not number 1 anymore. Our 'Fruit Parlor' is losing power! Dad, even the flow of people around the main shop in front of the train station has changed. All 'cause those T-University people put up a mall at the West exit! Despite the fact that they're supposed to be doctors! SFX: WAAA WAAA WAAA WAAA
Page 9: Jou: We've got to up our game. SFX: WAAA WAAA Nori: What are you getting at, Joubin? Jou: I've got an 'importation route'! We to shore up the business. Desserts, olive oil, supplements, processed fruit goods. We need to import cheap and tasty fruit and manufacture those! Nori: No. Jou: ...Uh............ Nori: The only thing people give as gifts in good times and bad are 'flowers' and 'fruits'. They're special things nothing else can compare to, and because we sell good products, our customers have faith in us. ...Unless that fruit is nearby and eye-catching, it all falls apart. Jou: Dad... Times are changing. Even traditions change sometimes!
Page 10: Nori: That's the end of the discussion. A fruit shop doesn't need to be 'powerful'. SFX: WAAA WAAA WAAA WAAA SFX: WAAA WAAA WAAA Jou: Dad... I've got to disagree with you on that. Wait your turn by reserving a "seat"? What do we have all these traditions and contributions to society, then?! Like hell I'm getting in line behind people like these! How is that fun? That's no 'summer vacation'... SFX: WAAA WAAA WAAA
Page 11: Yagi: Was that Higashikata Norisuke-san? And must be his eldest son... Joubin: ........... SFX: WAAA WAAA Yagi: I'm sorry, I should start by introducing myself. I am 'Yagiyama Yotsuyu', architect. I've recently accepted a request to design the new Higashikata estate. Jou: Oh... I remember you. How is the designing coming along? SFX: WAAA WAAA Yagi: Speaking of which, would you mind coming over here and have a drink with me while we watch the game...?

Page 18: SFX: SHIIIIN Jou: Yasuho-chan isn't following behind us... Where is she? Rai: She went back to her house. Jou: She left? Rai: The "hairpin". She claimed that a 'hairpin' she has was a 'rock animal'. Apparently there was a rock animal out there that count transform into a hairpin.
Page 19: Rai: She said that it was broken 5 or 6 years ago, and since then she's kept it in a box on her bookcase. It's an event from when she was a girl. ...It seems that the attack on Hanarero Mountain reminded her of it.
Page 20: Rai: If that 'hairpin' is a 'rock animal', then in that box is its 'corpse'. She said that by analyzing the components of that 'corpse', that she's find out what kind of creature it is, and more about how it exists in the natural world. SFX: GAPAA Jou: ............ Rai: It may even be a lead towards the 'identity' of the 'rock humans'.

Page 24: Jou: 2nd from the right...? I can't tell them apart at all. I... I don't even know which tree I was looking at a second ago. They all look totally the same to me. Rai: That's why now I'm going to teach you. SFX: ZUNN

Page 27-28: SFX: NYUN NYUN NYUN NYUN Rai: Those bugs will enter the 'branches' and stimulate the growth of the Rokakaka. So 2 days from now a bulge shape will form on top of the 'branch'... That's the 'Rokakaka'. It'll be small, but at that point we'll harvest it. Jou: So is this... all there is for today, then? Rai: Two nights... A full 2 days from now, we'll come back and harvest it! Jou: !! Rai: We haven't been seen so far... so I don't think anyone will find the branch until then. We won't report to Norisuke-san until we harvest it either. For the next two days, we'll hide ourselves and wait... SFX: SHUTAH Rai: Let's go back the way we came. SFX: ZAWA ZWAW ZAWA ZAWA Jou: I wonder where that 'Poor Tom' guy... SFX: GO GOGO GOGO GO

SFX: GO GO GO GO GO Joubin: I have no idea what abilities 'that thing' I buried has, but... if "Jousuke" or the"plant appraiser" Jousuke brought here get within its range, they'll 'die'. Plant Appraiser Jousuke SFX: GO GO GO GO GO Joubin: ...Speaking of which, how does 'Poor Tom' intend to get his hands on the 'Rokakaka' fruit? If he ends up killing the 'plant appraiser', then... winter will come with him still not knowing which branch it is and it'll wilt... What's his plan? SFX: GO GO GO Joubin: If he's going to 'kill' 'Jousuke' and the 'plant appraiser'... then it's not going to be until 'after' we've procured the 'Rokakaka' fruit... right...? ["right" in italics] 'Poor Tom' must have some plan. But how exactly does he intend for the 'Rokakaka' to be harvested?
Page 31: Tsurugi: Daddy, what're you doing over there? Uh, I wanted to ask you something...
Page 32: Narration: Time until the harvest of the Rokakaka Fruit 2 days, 2 hours, and 02 minutes Tsurugi: Daddy. Jou: .................. Are you alone? Why're you in the garage? Tsurugi: Because I had something I needed to ask you, Daddy.
Page 33: Tsuru: You buried 'something' in the ground in the back of the orchard, right? What waaaas that? I only saw from pretty far away... It looked like something kinda shaped like a 'house'. And you were being all sneaky, burying it in the dirt. Jou: ...... What...? How long have you been watching me? Tsurugi? ...Have you been following me? Did you get near me in the orchard? Dad just asked you a question!! Did you go into the orchard? Tsurugi: I... I wasn't following you... I was just watching from the house fence.
Page 34: Joubin: Tsurugi, you didn't go into the orchard or anything like that, did you? Absolutely sure? Tsurugi: N-No, I didn't go near it. But what was that thing? What did you bury? Joubin: Tsurugi... Shut that door. SFX: GARA GARA Joubin: Listen closely. When Daddy was just a bit older than you are now, he got 'sick'. And the one who set me on the road to getting better was my mother... Your 'Grandma Kaato'. Tsurugi: ......
Page 35: Joubin: And... if someday... you get 'sick', too... If that time comes, then Daddy will be the one to 'cure' you. I promise I will. That is why I buried that thing. ["that thing" in italics.] I did it for the Higashikata family. So be absolutely sure not to go near it. ["absolutely" in italics] Tsurugi: Are you doing something bad, Daddy? Jou: ...........

An enemy like... just 'what are these things'? ---These rock-like 'enemies' will be lying in wait to ambush Jousuke and Mamezuku Rai at the Higashikata estate.
Page 4: Rai: You there... I won't call you a hindrance anymore. You were able to figure out how to guide 'Jousuke' in the 'right direction'. But it's time for you to be quiet and go home. Okay...? Leave us. You'll no longer have a priority ranking. At least for the harvesting of the fruit we're about to undertake, Norisuke-san's 'orders' will be number 1... Unless Jousuke uphold those orders, the battle is lost.

Page 36: Yasu: Back then... I had no idea what was going on. It was a person I had never met before that I knew nothing about. And it was a collapsed naked man. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything reach out to grab his wrists and pull him up... SFX: DO DO DO Rai: ...... SFX: DO Yasu: But for some reason... I grabbed onto 'Jousuke's' wrists straightaway. I felt like it would be okay to grab on, and I frantically pulled 'Jousuke' out from the spring water. Even I don't know why I acted the way I did back then. But, I remembered... Something very important, and self-evident... That there isn't a single thing that is good to overlook... ["isn't a single thing" in italics] SFX: DO DO DO
Page 37: Holly: It's okay... The scar will disappear... You won't see a thing before too long... Just to be safe, we did a scan on the wound on your head, but it shouldn't be a problem. We'll need to keep you here for about 3 days. Yasu: ......
Page 38: Holly: ...... SFX: ROLL Handwritten: Nuh ! Holly: It's self-evident that there's not a single thing that is good to overlook. That means... something important... If you only look at yourself, you won't be able to see it. I hope what's important to you eventually comes into view. SFX: !?
Page 39: Kira: Knock-knock. Excuse me. Did that doctor woman that was just here... say anything... weird to you? If she did, allow me to apologize in her place. She's my mom... I can vouch for her skill as a doctor. In both the hospital and the rest of society, people say she's wonderful. But for certain reasons, from today on, she won't be a doctor anymore. She won't be your attending physician, either. Yasu: ............ Kira: Oh, and... SFX: GOSOH Kira: Is this your 'hair clip'? Sorry 'bout that, too...

SFX: DO DO DO DO Yasu: The thing coming to this mountain reminded me of... SFX: DO DO Page 42-43: Yasu: was what I'd been wondering ever since that incident. That was 'Kira Yoshikage'... I'm certain of it. It was just for a brief moment, but we met. And that doctor, I didn't see her face, but she must have been 'Holly-san'... 'I hope that what's important... eventually comes into view.' ...The "important things" she talked about... Ever since then... I've been wanting to find them. SFX: DO DO DO Yasu: So... So...

Page 44: SFX: DO DO DO DO Yasu: Back then, I grabbed onto his wrists... but... The one that was pulled up was me. It's self-evident that there's not a single thing that should be overlooked. And I saw that. I have the same motive as 'Jousuke' does. SFX: DO DO DO Jou: ? Yasu: I want to get my hands... on the Rokakaka, too! Jou: Are you talking about meee?
Page 45: Yasu: I understand the rank of priorities! Norisuke-san's "orders" are number 1! Rai: Okay... I understand... No need to yell... I don't really care about your whole story. Anyhow, are you saying that hair clip was one of those 'rock animals' like the one we saw before? Box: Doremifasolati Do Rai: If you're saying that since long ago, there was a creature possessing people's heads... and taking 'something' from them without them noticing...

Page 16: Urban: ...Oh, right. I dragged 'Jousuke' underground... Dammit... These soap bubbles... Rai: Jousuke, defend yourself. Don't get caught up in... the soap bubbles 'filled with fuel'. SFX: KACHI
Page 17: SFX: BOH SFX: BO BO BO BO BO BO BO SFX: DOBAH Urban: UOOOOOOH Rai: Take that! Yes... we won! Now let's head for the Higashikata estate!
Page 18-19: SFX: DON SFX: FOBAH SFX: DOGUOON SFX: DOGOH SFX: OOO Jou: Don't kill him, Mamezuku-san! I want to find out more about his identity!! Rai: No can do. My job is purely appraising and harvesting the "new Rokakaka"! And I'd much prefer not to be tailed and have my life targeted anymore, thank you very much.

Page 22: Yasu: This thing is an 'animal'... A 'rock' one... I can't believe something like this is real... SFX: BUAAAAAAAAA Jou: And a 'doctor'... That was his 'public face'... SFX: BOROH BORO Jou: Kira Yoshikage was a ship doctor... Holly-san is a doctor, too... And she's fighting against illness right now. Is there... something "connecting" all this somewhere...? SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO DO SFX: FLOAT FLOAT
Page 23: Rai: ! SFX: POP Rai: Hmm. Now that I get a good look at it... These are... like mine. A "line" is vibrating at a super-high speed, making it appear as a 'sphere', huh...? His ability is a 'cord'... Not that it matters at this point...
Page 24: Rai: I know you guys are exhausted, but I'm gonna walk over to the number 8 pole. I've got a closet with a change of clothes at number 2 down the mountain, but first I've gotta visit number 8. For when we go to the Higashikata estate. And Jousuke, bout these photos you took of the "Higashikata estate grounds",
Page 25: Rai: From the photos you took, I can already tell which 'branch' is the new Rokakaka's 'branch'. ...I'm certain of it. And using the contents of pole number 8, I'm going to harvest it. SFX: PI PIH SFX: GAA AAA
Page 26: Rai: I'm taking these from number 8 to the Higashikata estate. ["these" in italics] SFX: AAAA SFX: A A Jou: !?
Page 27: Rai: I won't bore you with the details of crop cultivation theory right now, but these guys have triangular poop. They're "moth larvae" I raise in this orchard for fruit harvesting which cost 100,000 yen yeah. If I just bring these to the "new Rokakaka" branch... they'll burrow into the vascular bundles under the "branch" bark. That's just the type of insects they are.
Page 28: Rai: Then a "new Rokakaka fruit' will grow on that branch before winter passes. Jou: Hey you, where're your parents?! Get away! A parking not is no place to play!
Page 29: SFX: COH COH COH COH
Page 30: SFX: TOURURURURURURU Jou: !? SFX: TOURURURURURU Jou: !? SFX: TOURURURURU Jou: If you're going to be late for a meeting... you should call and let me know.

Page 32: SFX: ZUPAAH
Page 33: SFX: GOGOGO Jou: Mu... Sorry about saying not to play in the parking lot before... But do you get people saying 'Look at this weirdo that showed up' to you a lot? You're the one that called me, right...? 'Poor Tom', is that you? SFFX: GO GOGOGO GO Tom: It might be, bud.
Page 34: Jou: If you're 'Poor Tom', then what business do you have with me? Tom: Well bud, I tell ya, it's about Hanarero Mountain.... Hey, check out that broad over there... Is she checkin' me out? Jou: What? Tom: Goddammi~~t That was plain as day... She just purposely looked straight my way. Jou: ............ What the hell are you talking about?
Page 35: Tom: I'm talkin' about the babe over by the Benz C-Class. She opened the door, but she sure don't look like she's about ta sit in the driver's seat. She's pointin' her as right at me. I can see right between her thighs. Jou: ... ...Hold on! You... came here on your own, right? Don't go peeking from a low angle like that. Tom: You sayin' the Benz girl's somebody I know? If ya gotta know, I got a date with my girlfriend at 7 tonight! That woman's showin' off for me on purpose, look! Her skirt's wide open! She's sure as hell comin' on ta me! Jou: How old are you? Cut it out already!!
Page 36: Joubin: Tell me what you want already!! Just so there's no confusion, regarding the "money laundering" Damo Tamaki used my fruit parlor for... there's been some trouble so I can't work with you on that. I can't let you use the smuggling route either. Tom: Don't get the wrong idea, bud. SFX: FUUH Tom: I got this acquaintance by the name 'a "Urban Guerrilla"... Just a little while ago he headed off ta the Hanarero Mountain Ski area... and I lost contact with 'im.
Page 37: Tom: His pet, 'Solati Do' didn' come back, neither... N' they were together... Jou: ...... Tom: So... The fact that they ain't come back means... we sure as hell ain't gonna be able ta find the "branch" 'a the 'new Rokakaka'. Ain't no way we'll be able ta tell which is the "branch" now. It might just end up wiltin' and go ta waste. He failed his task ta capture the plant appraiser. SFX: GURI GURI SFX: PIN
Page 38: SFX: ZUZUZUZU SFX: ZUZU SFX: ZUZU...
Page 39: Tom: ...Although... even if we can't find the 'branch', we can't let somebody else swipe the 'new Rokakaka' "branch" either. 'Jousuke' is comin' back! Whether it's your Dad Norisuke or the plant appraiser... we can't let 'em get the "branch". So... we're gonna close off the entire Higashikata estate's orchard. That's what I decided. Jou: "Close off"...?
Page 40: Tom: This Stand can cordon off the are around the "branch". Nobody'll even be able ta get close. My Stand is called "Ozone Baby". SFX: GO GO GO GO Tom: It don't matter who it is, nobody'll be able ta get to any "branch" in that orchard. Jou: It doesn't matter who it is? Hey... hold on. Are you showing off your own Stand's secret in front of me? Why would you go out of your way to show me your ability?
Page 41: Tom: Higashikata Joubin, you wanna get yer hands on the new Rokakaka, too, right? Take this... Anywhere on the Higashikata estate'll do fine. You just gotta bury it in the ground. Then my Ozone Baby will "activate". SFX: GO GO Jou: Me...?! You want me to bury your Stand in the ground? Tom: There's security cameras 'n shit around the Higashikata estate, right...? You should do it so we don't get found out... We think of you as somebody very important. That's why I came out here ta talk to ya in the first place. 'Cause you don't want one of yer precious family members ta accidentally happen across this 'Ozone Baby'. That's what I mean by close off.
Page 42: Tom: If I went ta bury it in the orchard myself, your family would get roped inta the whole thing. We're keepin' the target down to "Jousuke" when he gets back there. Him and the "plant appraiser"! We can't let those guys harvest the "new Rokakaka" fruit! SFX: DO DO DO Jou: So you can "activate" it... You want me... to go bury it...?

Page 8: Urban: It's gonna be a pretty shitty world up ahead SFX: DO DO DO DO Ur: for all of you! ["you" in italics] On the other hand, for us, it's gonna be lots of fun! That 'New Rokakaka'! To you, those fruits might mean some nice hopeful things like 'healing diseases' or 'long life' or 'earning money'. And all that's true, but... the 'Rokakaka' is something we've known about since waaay back. It's a plant we've been finding and cultivating since a reaaaal long time ago. SFX: DO DO DO DO
Page 9: Guys: In other words, that plant exists for us. The 'equivalent exchange' exists for us. I ain't gonna explain the whole thing, but 'humans' and 'Rokakaka' don't have very good compatibility. It's got somethin' ta do with the the carbon and stuff in your body's cells and its differences with the qualities of silicon-compound organisms. The illness the eldest sons of the Higashikata family carry may be able to be cured with the 'Rokakaka', but we can become even happier. While you guys are in a daze over 'making money' and 'health', the 'New Rokakaka' will bring a whole new world to us! An exciting world where you guys constantly sink downward... and we rise to the top will come! SFX: DO DO
