Date: ◯ the △th
Today, my dad hit me for the first time

[2]
Text:
It was a strong fist
He had the hands of a man who'd carried the burden of me, my family and other responsibilities, all by himself

[3]
Text:
Mine looked small in comparison
I had the hands of a loser who'd quit his job and spent 2 years and 3 months playing only computer games

[4]
Banzou:
I'm not asking you to be the best
So what if you're humiliated or end up sweating like a pig?
Those are what make the job worth doing, you idiot

[5]
Text:
With that, my dad left for work
He looked larger than life

[6]
Text:
Then I suddenly wondered if I could be like him if I started trying; I wanted to know more about him
I went out for the first time in 2 years and found myself running after my dad

Text:
"Banzou the Viper" -- That's what they call my dad
The criminals were terrified of him... I wanted to see the Viper, to learn what it means to work

[3]
Text:
And then I saw the Viper
With a cup of sake, bumming around in the park

Lesson 52 -- Parks belong to kids

Text:
The Viper had been sacked a month ago

Banzou:
Nwoooooo

Book:
Daisuke's Diary

[2]
Banzou:
Do you know how that feels?!
You wouldn't understand
What it's like having your son write about you like that in his diary!!

[3]
Banzou:
And I was this close!! This close to getting him back to society, and then, sacked?!
Thanks to that, my son went from a loafer to a yakuza! It's like moving from the North Pole to the South Pole

[4]
Hijikata:
Well it's something to drink to

Banzou:
Drink?! If I drink to it, I'll have to drown myself in sake

[5]
Banzou:
I put everything aside and devoted myself for 30 years to the government
and then I was cast away by them and my family!!
It isn't fair! There's something wrong with this world!

[6]
Banzou:
So I'm gonna change it!!
With this "Viper Z" that I spent 10 years making,
I'll destroy this rotten country and start a revolution!


Page 04

[1]
Hijikata:
Whether it be a rotten country, I can't have you forget the people living in it
If you wanna start a revolution, change yourself, not the country. It'll be cheaper that way too

[2]
Banzou:
Shut up!! What'd you know?!!

[3]
Hijikata:
Prepare the canons

[4]
Hijikata:
Wrong target
Why d'ya look so surprised?! I'm the one that's surprised!!

[5]
Skinhead:
Vice-chief!!
L- look!!


Page 05

[1]
Hijikata:
Chief!! Yamazaki!!
Huh?! And what's he doin' here?!

[2]
Banzou:
Hehe, I know they're part of your gang
If you wanna stop us, go ahead, fire. But if you do these guys'll die, kukuku

[4]
Hijikata:
Sougooooo!!!

[5]
Sougo:
Kondou-san once told me that if he were to get caught by the enemy, he'd want me to shoot him
I think... Wait, didn't he?

Hijikata:
You don't even know and you shot him?!


Page 06

[2]
Yamazaki:
They fired! Those bastards fired!!

Gintoki:
Who are they?! Are you sure they're your comrades?!

Yamazaki:
To hell with comrades! Chief, I'm quitting this shit ass job... Huh? Where'd he go?

[3]
Kondou:
Yo, I'm here. You guys ok?

Yamazaki:
Chiieeef!! Are you ok?!

[4]
Kondou:
I feel like I was in a long dream
It's like the fog in my head's clearing. God it feels good. Yamazaki, sorry for your troubles

Yamazaki:
Chief, your memory...? Wait, your head...
No... wait, Chief... your head...

[5]
Kondou:
Anyway, it's important that we get out of here now. Let's go

Yamazaki:
Chief, wait! Mr Sakata's still...!

[6]
Gintoki:
It's ok, leave me Boar, Gori-san
Hurry, they'll be here in no time

[7]
*chi*


Page 07

[1]
Kondou:
Damn you!!
If it were the real you, I'd leave you behind, but this Sakata-san's innocent!

[2]
Kondou:
When your memory's back, you owe me a meal

[3]
Gintoki:
Gori-san

Worker:
Hey! What're you doing?!

Kondou:

[1]
Banzou:
Did you see the power of our Viper Z?!
With this, we can easily burn the whole Edo down

[2]
Banzou:
Think you can stop us?! Well think again!!
You samurai gave in to the government and became weak; There's no way you can stop me!!

[3]
Banzou:
C'mon, if you don't hurry, I'll fire again! Then everyone's Edo would be burnt to the ground!
Fuhahaha, what's wrong? You too scared to move? Heh, what an embarrassment...

[4]
Banzou:
What?

[6]
Shinpachi:
Go ahead; Fire if you want


Page 12

[1]
Kagura:
Cook or boil Edo, whatever you want

Shinpachi:
But you're not shooting this man

[2]
Banzou:
Wh- who are you?!
This isn't a place for kids; Go back!! You wanna get killed?!

[3]
Gintoki:
Why...

[4]
Gintoki:
Why're you here...?
I told you to forget me... To live your lives as you want
So what're you doing here?

[5]
Gintoki:
Bff


Page 13

[1]
Kagura:
We don't need you telling us that; We've always lived as we wanted -aru

Shinpachi:
We're here cuz we wanted to be

[2]
Shinpachi:
We're with you cuz that's what we want

[3]
Gintoki:
...Why?
I don't understand

[4]
Gintoki:
Everyone tells me I was a bum

Tae:
But there's nothing worthwhile about him back when his brows were further away from his eyes
He was a loafer back then and now he seems more responsible... and ch- charming...

[5]
Gintoki:
And yet why?

Yamazaki:
I see. But I must say it's a bit of a pity
It's true, you seemed to be just a slacker
But I could tell our chief and Captain Okita respected you

[6]
Gintoki:
Why do they...


Page 14

[1]
Gintoki:
Why

[2]
Sougo:
Stay back kid

Kagura:
Then how 'bout you, kid

Shinpachi:
What're you doing?

Hijikata:
If I had a choice I wouldn't, but my job requires me to protect innocent citizens

[3]
Hijikata:
So there
If you wanna fire, take us down
Vibe Canon, Ripe Canon, whatever; It won't work against us

[4]
Shinsengumi:
Yeah, shoot us
you sacked sucker
Baldy! Sucker! Baldy!

Banzou:

Fine, since you asked for it, I'll turn you all to ashes first, and then Edo!

[2]
Kagura:
Before you get us, we'll take you down -ne!
Chaaarge!!
