TWO SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
WHAT IS THEIR MOTIVE!?

Sa-chan: Who is the target?
Boss: Doctor Kuroda Heihachirou of Edo Hospital

Frame2, Boss:
-It is a rapidly expanding hospital
-Rumored to be funded by an underground trade in human organs
-Once they find a suitable patient they will cut them open and take out the organs. It’s the very path of evil

Frame3, Sa-chan:
- The path of evil
- Shouldn’t the real path of evil refer to people like us who kill for money

Boss: You’re not wrong about that

Frame4, Boss:
-Although the people we kill are evil, in the end murder is still murder
-We both belong to the same species, destined for a violent end

Frame5, Boss
-In order to be an instrument of justice
-Can I request you to step once more onto the path of evil?

ASSASSIN SA-CHAN’S
SECRET ASSIGNMENT ?!

Bottom right text
CHAPTER 88
MY IDEAL GIRLFRIEND IS TRULY MINAMI-CHAN
HIDEAKI SORACHI

Sa-chan:
- The path of evil can only be eliminated by another one on the path of evil
-If by soiling my hands I can save the people, I will happily let these hands be stained by fresh blood

Frame2, Boss
-Good, then I’m counting on you
-Actually, there’s something I’d like to ask
-Sa-chan, recently…

Frame3, Boss
-Did you like someone?

Sa-chan:!!

Frame4, Sa-chan
-Huh? What?
Boss: Eh, recently you give out a special fragrance that only females have

Frame5, Sa-chan
-You’re mistaken, there’s no such person. Is this sexual harassment?
-Uh, if you don’t, then good
-I was just concerned if you had any personal issues

PAGE3
Frame1, Boss
-I have dealt with people like you for some time now
-Each one of you wants to get married and have children, without realizing this is digging your own grave

Frame2, Boss
-Emotions are a funny thing, they must be held in check, but not everyone can handle it well
- Be careful not to be hindered by a momentary impulse.

Frame4, text
R: …Gin-san
L: I don’t have a problem, because my feelings are not a momentary impulse

Frame5, text
R: Recently I’ve been thinking about Gin-san 26/7 to the point of neglecting my career, hence this can’t be a momentary impulse. So I’m alright, yeah? Am I really alright? Like this……

L: No, it won’t be a problem. I just need to make the mental switch. When I’m working then I’ll be dead serious about working and when I am dating I’ll be dead serious about dating. This should be the proper attitude to life.

Frame6, head nurse
-Hey, retarded newcomer! It’s common knowledge that all cell phones must be switched off in the hospital!
- Are you a moron! Are you waiting for me to teach you how!!

Sa-chan: I’m sorry, head nurse.

Frame7, text
R: Yes, Now <Sow> Sa-chan mode has been switched off
L: < Killer> Sa-chan mode has been turned on

PAGE4
Frame1, Doctor
-Sakataaaa, my man
- Just how many times do you intend to visit the hospital … …
- Ah? Memory loss again or food poisoning again? What else is new?

Frame2, Doctor
-After your scooter exploded you fell from a height of 30 meters into the river
-A retard is still a retard even if I cure him to death, so how come you’re not dead yet……

Gintoki: Doctor, isn’t it a physician’s job to heal the patient both body and soul? Now not only my body, but my soul has been broken beyond repair

Frame3, Doctor
-Because humans know balance is important. If your body is sick, then it’s even better if your mind is sick too

Frame4, text
<SOW> MODE ON!

Frame5, Sa-chan
-Gin-san----
-GWOOAH

PAGE5
Frame1, Gintoki
WAAAAA-----myfootmyfootmyfoot!

Sa-chan: Gin-san, what happened? It’s so serious! What happened to you? Are you alright?

Frame2, Sa-chan
-Doctor, is Gin-san okay! Is he really okay! Can he be cured?
- This head

Gintoki: What do you mean my head!

Frame3, Doctor
-This, well, this is the side-effect of the explosion, called “Bomb Head”. But it’ll return to normal in 2-3 frames, so rest assured

Sa-chan: Nooo, I want it now, please cure him by next frame

Headnurse: Whatever! Move your butt, newcomer! Your responsibilities are over here.

Frame4, Headnurse
-Hey, time for your medicine
-Hurry up. Miss Sarutobi will apply it for you.

Frame5, Hattori Zenzo
-Ah, sorry for the inconvenience
-These piles have been killing me since yesterday, I’m at wit’s end

Frame6, Hattori Zenzo
-Eh?

Frame 7 text
<KILLER> MODE ON!

PAGE6
Frame1, Gin-san
-I say
-What are you doing here? What’s the story?

Frame2
Are you interested in getting to know me, little boy? If you want to understand a woman then you have to ask things slowly, gently. One by one…
Gintoki: Really, then forget it

Left top, Sa-chan: No more questions? We should go on
Left bottom, Gintoki: No, really I’ve had enough annoyance today

Frame3,text
R: What am I doing? Although I promised myself to switch, who knew that once I saw Gin-san I immediately become <sow> sa-chan
L: I don’t have time for flirting, I’ve got to switch back to killer mode at once

Frame4 text
R: Come think about it, what’s so good about him? I should be attracted to a stylish and intense “S” man, not a weak guy like this…
L: Weak guy… that reminds me of what Li-chan said. When a guy is feeling weak, be gentle to him to capture his heart. The Minami-chan inside “Baseball Champions” said that too.

Frame5
<SOW> MODE ON!

Frame6, Sa-chan
-Really, Gi-chan
-You’re always so cold

Frame7,Gintoki
-Ah?
Small text: Gi-chan?

PAGE7
Frame1, Sa-chan
-If you keep on like that, then I might just decide
- to dump you and run away with another guy……

Frame2, Gintoki
-Run away anywhere you want. Ah, if you’re going out then could you grab me a copy of JUMP?

Sa-chan: I want to go to Moscow, although I am called Minami-chan, but I can also go north

TN: Minami means “south” in Japanese

Gintoki: Would they have JUMP in Moscow?

Frame3, Sa-chan
Well, I’ve always thought that hospital food was bland, Hence I, Minami-chan……...sorry, Sa-chan have personally prepared some food

- You really want to eat, don’t you? But I can’t decide if I should let you eat

Gintoki: What is she on? I really want to swat her away

Frame4, Sa-chan
-C’mon
-Hot and Spicy Kanto cooking

Frame5, Gintoki
-Hot! It’s scalding me! Scalding me!
-Why do you have to pick this time when I can’t move to eat this kind of scalding hot Kanto cooking! And you have fried tofu too!

Frame6,Sa-chan
-I want to let you have a taste of home
Gintoki: Don’t you think what you do is very strange!
Sa-chan: That’s why you have to keep this a secret from the other patients

Frame 7, Zenzo
-Ah……Ah
-I saw that, Do you want me to tell the head nurse?

PAGE8
Frame 1, Sa-chan
-Next, can Gi-chan please lie down

Frame 2, Sa-chan
-I would like to help you change your bandages.
Gintoki: Don’t bother, the head nurse has just changed it for me

Frame 3, Sa-chan
-Don’t be shy
Gintoki: I said DON’T bother! OWOWOWOW
Sa-chan: Ah~Ah. Don’t trash about Lil’ Gin-chan

Frame 4
Sa-chan: Oh no, lil’ Gin-chan, now look what happened, it’s all your fault for moving
Gintoki: How the heck did I move to get you tied up! Didn’t you tie yourself up!

Frame 5 Sa-chan
-What I love about you is you don’t let anything tie you up
-But I’m still really worried about your injury

Frame 6, Sa-chan
-So I still have to tie you up!
-Owow! Its killing me! What are you doing! Murder! Head nurse! Save me!

Frame7, Zenzo
-Ugh
-Hang in there, I’ll get the head nurse

PAGE9
Frame1, Sa-chan
-Next, I will drop by the convenience store
-What was it? A sundae? If I buy one you’ll be happy right? Wait for me.

Frame2, Gintoki
-……
-Do you know< Carrie>, the movie?

Frame3, Gintoki
-That one with the author who was injured and couldn’t move being looked after by that ooba-san and ended up being tortured horribly?
-Yes exactly that one, it was really horrible
-That ooba-san’s acting skill was really something

Frame5
Top right, Zenzo: Wait, wait a minute, pull this thing out for me!
Bottom right, Gintoki: You bastard, just do it yourself, why are you asking me?

Top left: Zenzo: I can’t, it’s too painful! And I’m worried that if I pull this out I might pull out something important as well

Bottom left: You bastard, don’t tell me you’ve stashed your hopes and dreams inside your anus!

Frame6, everyone
R: Gin-san! Are you feeling better!
L: We’re here to visit you!

PAGE10
Frame2 Kagura
-Stupid Gin-san!
SFX: Patter, patter

Frame3, Madao
-Oh dear…we apologize for disturbing you
-Sorry Gin-san, because I told Kagura about “that world” before

Frame4 Gintoki
-Hey! Stop it right there! You’ve made a mistake! You’ve mistaken me!
-What kind of “world” do you mean! What kind of damn world!

Frame5
Gintoki: Look what you’ve done to me! Even if I go back and explain that nasty feeling won’t go away!
Zenzo: Sorry, how about I go back with you to explain?
Gintoki: That will cause even more misunderstanding! Don’t come near me, next time don’t even stand in the same frame as me!

Frame6, Gintoki
Anyway, best to slip away now!

Frame7, Evil Doctor
-My, my, my, my, Mr Sakata. Mr Hattori
-This can’t be allowed. Patients are forbidden to wander around

PAGE11
Frame2, text
R: I’m so happy, I don’t care what happens to my career
L: Rather than work, a woman is truly born for love

Frame3, text
R: What’s the big deal about being an assassin, I’m better off quitting this blood- drenched line of work anyway. Why don’t I be a real nurse instead
L: A professional nurse dedicated to taking care of Gin-san

Frame4
Nurse1: Have you heard?
-About Dr Kuroda
Sa-chan: !

Frame5
Nurse1: Is that true, the rumor about him plying the organ trade
-Why hasn’t the director discovered it?
Nurse2: The director can’t even look Dr Kuroda in the eye, it’s like he’s got something on him
Nurse3: But it’s still a crime

Frame6
Nurse1: Right aren’t there two very noisy patients in the hospital?
Nurse2: Ah, Its Mr Sakata and Mr Hattori!
Nurse3: I think they are his target this time

Frame7
Nurse1: Ha, then this place will be much quieter
Sa-chan: Ah, you!

PAGE12
Frame1, text
How can this be, now Gin-san is in danger

Frame2, text
It’s all my fault for neglecting my work

Frame3 text
Be careful not to be hindered by a momentary impulse.

Frame4 text
R: What have I been doing all along…
L: Talking nonsense about love and romance

Frame5, Evil Doctor
-Since you’re in the hospital, I might as well carry out a full body check
-Your body is already badly worn out

Frame6, text
And ended up not being able to protect anything

Frame7, Evil doctor
-To start with Mr Sakata, didn’t we warn you about diabetes
-but instead of changing, you continue eating sweet stuff

Gintoki: Ah, I’ve heard enough of your talk, whatever you are talking about, all that talk about if I eat what I like I will end up fat and live a short life

PAGE13
Frame1
Evil doctor: Please take a look at this
Gintoki: Forget it, doctor, whatever you say, it’s not going to frighten me. I’ve heard too much of that kind of stuff before so I am numb to it.

Frame2, evil doctor
-if you carry on like this,
-sugar and urine will mix to create a chemical reaction, and your family jewels will burst and you die

Frame3 text
L: Could it be that I can’t even protect
R: what is most important to me?

Frame4 Evil doctor:
Next, Mr Hattori, even though you have only arrived today for the official treatment of your hemorrhoids

Zenzo: Yes, although it is very shameful, but I will try my best
-Ah, you can say so

Frame5,Evil doctor:
-However, if you carry on like this
-Anyway….there will be something that will burst

Frame6, small text
What exactly is wrong with my body!?

Frame7, text
-Zenzo
-Who cares about him

PAGE14
Frame2 Sa-chan
AHH!

Frame3 Sa-chan
-My glasses
-glasses, glasses
Text: Now I really can’t get anything done

Frame4 text
R: Not a sow
L: This kind of helpless sow

Frame5
R: Wrong, what sow
L: I, I am nothing like a sow

Frame6
R: I ……
L: I am!!

<KILLER> MODE ON!

PAGE15
Frame1, Evil Doctor
Hehehehe, these two are so retarded

Frame2, Evil Doctor
They actually got conned by that explanation, they are such retards.

Frame3, Evil Doctor
-looks like the brain is not functioning
-however the other parts are really something, such tight bodies are not easy to find
- For retarded brains like that to enjoy excellent bodies is a waste

Frame4 Evil Doctor
-Scalpel
Sa-chan: Yes

PAGE16
Frame1, Evil Doctor
-GYAHHHHHH!!
-what are you doing!

Assistant: Doctor!
-You bastard! What the heck are you doing!

Frame2, Sa-chan
-I’m sorry
-Because I dropped my glasses

Frame3, Sa-chan
-That’s why, a female, a male or a scalpel
-I can’t tell the difference

TN: Female and scalpel share the same sound in Japanese

Frame4, evil doctor
-AH! Who the hell are you!
-What are you?

Frame5, Sa-chan
-The knell of the bells at the Gion temple
-Echoes the impermanence of all things.
-The colour of the flowers on its double-trunked tree

Frame6, evil doctor
-Ah, what are these things?
-Bandages?

PAGE17
Frame1
-Reveals the truth…
-that demons on the path of evil must fall.

TN: Sachan is quoting the opening lines of the Heike monogatari, a war tale from the 13th century. The English translation is by P. G. O’Neill
-“Gion Temple” or Jetavana Grove was a temple complex dedicated to the Buddha in India, now a famous pilgrimage destination.
- "the double trunked sala tree" is a legendary tree with two trunks growing out in each of the four directions, under which Buddha was lying at the moment of his death, when he entered Nirvana.

Frame2
Please take care.
Assasin Sa-chan at your service!

PAGE18
Frame2 Sa-chan
-Gin-san!
-Gin-san!
-Gin-san!
-Where are you! Are you okay?

Frame4, Sa-chan
-Thank goodness you are okay!
-I lost my glasses, even though I can’t see anything, but I know that you are okay!

Frame5, Sa-chan
-Thank goodness
-Sorry, everything’s my fault
-I’ve made you suffer

Frame6, Sa-chan
-Sorry, I …
-Although I’ve been told me that I won’t be able to do my job if I think about guys

Frame7
-But I still cannot forget Gin-san
-No matter how I try…

PAGE19
Frame1 Sa-chan
-But I’ve thought it through

Frame2 Sa-chan
-Rather than not having anyone at all, I’d rather have someone important
- and give my all to protect him

Frame3
- So I will be like before
- and ever after always do it for Gin-san……

Frame4
-Rustle
-Ah~

Frame5
SFX: Puu

HUNG UP BY YOU JUST NOW……


Thank you Teqq, Nami and Bombaa-chan for your kind suggestions.
If there are no more suggestions, this is the final version. :D

this is the the context of the question I had
CHAPTER 88 PAGE6 FRAME2

Frame2
Are you interested in getting to know me? ****(?) If you want to understand a woman then you have to ask things slowly, gently. One by one…
Gintoki: Really, then forget it


And just to get a second opinion on what I have translated as "Lil' Gin-chan" Suggestions would be appreciated :D
