Gintama chapter 704 translation

Chapter 704: “There’s no such thing as a good guy with perm head”

Under the cut

Page 1

Katsura: Gintoki! Takasugi! Can you hear my transmission!! Where are you right now? Are you alright? We have taken over this ship and in the process of eliminating the rest of the enemy; they are at the state of complete annihilation. But the terminal’s berserk won’t stop! It’s just a matter of time until it blew itself up along with this plane, you have to escape quickly!

Page 2

Sakamoto: Zura! We can’t run either! If the terminal goes down, the Altana’s berserk will only get worse! That would spell the end for this planet as well! Those who are still alive have to deal with that thing somehow!

Katsura: But do we have any way of doing that?

?: There… is…

?: Can you please… allow me… handle the things here…

Katsura: Who is…

Katsura: You are….

Shouyou: This berserk happened because the sucking up far too great a quantity of Altana using the enemy’s weapon.

Page 3

Shouyou: Which means, if we can reverse its flow we can let the Altana collide with an equally strong force. Turn this great quanityty of Altana back to the Terminal by destroying the weaponry. Using the Altana inside of me as the trigger.

Shouyou: But even if we stop the berserk that way, this terminal won’t come out unscratched. Can I trust you with the evacuation, my prodigious student? I do not want to allow for more victims than there already are. If it’s you, then I can entrust this task.

Shouyou: All of you.... please… go and live.

Page 4

Shouyou: Just as you heard, please leave this place…

Shinpachi: Shouyou-sensei… you

Shouyou: //coughs blood

Shinpachi: …! Sensei!

Shouyou: …….

Shouyou: How very ironic. That I, who bear eternity, am now trying to stretch what time I have left. And I understand very well, the meaning of why he gave what remained of that fragile life.

Page 5:

Shouyou: I am a failure of a teacher, one who cannot even protect his students. That’s why I must protect the future that they weaved… I have to protect all of you.

Shouyou: My one thousand years of life might exist solely for this moment. This is the first time that I honestly think… I want to live a bit longer. Please give me more time, even if just one second.

Page 6:

Shinpachi: one second will not be enough. If one person can only bear that one second

Kagura: then if we combine the life of every one

Shinpachi: Then you will have enough time to at least see your student’s stupid face.

Shouyou: …! You all--!

Shinpachi: I’m sorry, Shouyou-sensei. As I thought we cannot leave just like that. Because if we do, we will no longer be Yorozuya.

Page 7

Shinpachi: Haven’t we said?

Kagura: That the Yorozuya will work until the payment is received?

Shinpachi: If there is a future, then we will not want someone to give it to us. We Yorozuya will doggedly take it by our own hands.

Page 8

Shouyou: All of you…

Kyuubei: Then we will accompany you.

Sacchan: It seems like in order to create an immortal, the cult has collected Altana from various planets.

Kyuubei: If we destroy all this, you can even hit your idiot student and not just look at him,

Shinpachi: Everyone!

Zenzo: Saying we’ll destroy it is fine and all but how are we supposed to do that? Let me tell you, the only type of cellphones I can use is the ancient ones.

Mobcop: We can no longer follow the current pace of modern technology

Zenzo: Is that something a person completely made of tech should say???

Nobume: If it’s cellphones then just leave it to me.

Sacchan: People and pieces of techs are the same. When they just don’t want to listen…

Page 9

Girls: You do this to them!

Zenzou: Ooooooiiiii you tomboy bitches!! This is no longer at the level of communication jamming! It’s now at the level where Siri would give it her all to shower you in boos and jeers!!

Tsukuyo: It will reach. If we gather this many feelings, it will certainly reach even without a phone.

Page 10

Shinpachi: This—this is--! A huge amount of Altana is flowing in!

Shinpachi: Shouyou-sensei, if you want to destroy it then this is the chance!

Kagura: Sadaharu! Protect Shouyou!

Shouyou: All of you… why… why…

Page 11

Hijikata: yo. You’re late, we almost left without you.

Gintoki: You guys…

Hijikata: Evacuating citizens is also the work of police force.

Kondo: My god, if there are unreasonably stubborn guys like you around, our work will get way harder.

Okita: Sorry but I’m not interested in kicking the bucket together. The only choice left is to go home, side-by-side.

Hijikata: Get up and let’s go.

Page 12

Katsura: Gintoki. Just a bit more. Ahead of that, sensei… and the Yorozuya will be there. If you have anything else to do, wrap it up quick.

Gintoki: Is that okay with you? Isn’t the prodigy of Shouka Sonjuku entrusted to make sure everyone come home safe?

Katsura: The evacuation is over, the only ones remaining is you troublemaker lot.

Gintoki: Zura… Takasugi is…

Katsura: Maybe sensei just doesn’t understand. Every time you troublemakers make a mess back then, there’s one more troublemaker who stepped up and wiped your asses. Isn’t that right Gintoki? So when it comes to Takasugi’s… to the final trouble the two of you stir up, the one who gotta wipe your asses later can’t move from this place.

Page 13

Gintoki: Zura…

Sakamoto: Dying or living, we’ll go together I guess… if it’s like this then there’s no choice but to come back alive. But don’t worry. I will come and save you, even from the deepest bowels of hell.

Sakamoto: That’s why go and make as great a fuss as you wish. Make a big one for his part too.

Page 14

Shouyou: Gintoki…

Page 15

Shouyou: The people here… for you they are what you are to me, aren’t they?

Page 17

Shouyou: That day… the eternal demon met you… met all of you and was able to become Yoshida Shouyou.

Page 18

Shouyou: Since that day… the small demon with such sorrowful eyes gained many meetings

Page 19

Shouyou: And was able to become Sakata Gintoki

Page 20

Shinpachi: Shouyou-sensei!!!

Page 22

Gintoki: Shouyou. I always wanted to show you. A lot of things happened since then. And I…

Page 23

Gintoki: I worked as Yorozuya with these guy.

Shouyou: Yes… I see it.

Page 24

Shouyou: Yorozuya. Sakata Gintoki. You have become… such a good man…

Page 26

Small Tama: Data transfer is completed. Good morning, Fuyou Iizerogou.

Page 27

Tama: This place is…

Small Tama: This is Gengai-sama’s workshop. Ever since the war, you have been asleep for a very long time. I am your clone, Tamako, whose job is to gather data in your place during that time.

Tama: I’m sorry… I still… my circuits is still out of order. How long have I been asleep for?

Tama: Is this… Edo…?

Tama: No, right now this place is called Tokyo. After the last battle, Edo has seen many great changes and was reborn.

Page 28

Small Tama: Without everyone’s hard work, this Tokyo wouldn’t have come into existence. Yes… the world has regained peace.

Tama: And yet… it seems like the world that I know no longer exist. After that, what happened to everyone…?

Small Tama: The answer to that question is already inside of you.

?: -san… Tama-san…

?: I wonder when you will wake up and receive this data.

Tama: This voice... Shinpachi-sama? And is this the old Edo?

Shinpachi: Since that day, we still don’t know what we fought, with whom we fought. Or just what we lost and what we won.

Page 29

Shinpachi: But we returned home. To Edo. To the everyday life. And yet from the lonely smile I saw on Gin-san’s face that day, I feel that the amount of what we regained and what we lost…

Shinpachi: It seems… they won’t come back after all.

Page 30

Shinpachi: Aaaaaaaa!!! Where the hell are you sleeping Gin-saaaan! It stinks—I stepped on puke!! Just when I thought I’m not gonna be seeing your face for a while you went off and had a drink, didn’t you!!

Gintoki: Agh so noisy. This is my home. I can come back whenever I like and throw up wherever I like—gogogogoo

Shinpachi: Wait!! Don’t make more of a mes—gogogogo

Gintoki: And why are you sitting nonchalantly on the president’s seat

Shinpachi: The hell you’re talking about! The one who supported the Yorozuya while everyone’s gone is the leader! Didn’t you say you will start from the very bottom of the rungs?!

Gintoki: I didn’t say it. And didn’t you say you will start over, beginning from your glasses frame?

Shinpachi: I didn’t!! Why don’t you start over from your dad’s ballsacks?!

Gintoki: You start over from you dad’s glasses case

Shinpachi: That’s just dad’s glasses then!! And if you’re gonna sleep, sleep properly on the futon!!

Page 31:

Kagura: Don’t come into a lady’s room! How many times should I tell you this is no longer Gin-chan’s room! This is the room of the vice-president, who returned second after the president!

Shinpachi: Yeah… but vice-president, your president flew because of that kick as well...

Kagura: In all companies, presidents are nothing but decoration where short beards can grow. The real power usually belong to the strong ones, in the end the people with the most physical strengths hold the world in their palms.

Shinpachi: No… the super strong is not even super strong and not even the vice-president.

Kagura: Well, just he just won’t be responsible then just beat the responsibility into him as hard as you can.

Shinpachi: Even if the one doing it is a super-powered hercules it still can’t be done!!

Gintoki: Cut it out you two!! Just where is my place to belong now? Since it came to this, let’s just begin everything back from the markingssss----rruururururuu

Shinpachi: We’ll kill you, you bastard!!!

Shinpachi: …even so, I think the reason we can still be ourselves with nary a change like this is because there is three people and one dog here.

Page 32:

Otose: My, my… since it’s been two years I thought you all would have piled up enough money to pay the rent. But looking at those faces, seems like all you did these past two years are digging your noses.

Gintoki: I’m thinking about leaving the rent in the new president’s care.

Shinpachi: Don’t just push off that role when it benefits you…

Kagura: Alright, leave it to Leader! I’ll handle the right hole, Gin-chan handle the left. And then there’s Shinpachi.

Shinpachi: You bastards aren’t doing anything but picking noses, are you?!

Otose: I thought both Shinpachi and Kagura have grown up, but it seems like they all just went back to how they were when you returned.

Catherine: One spoiled apple would spoil the entire barrel, after all.

Gintoki: I’m more of the sweetness of canned fruits person than barrel person.

Gengai: I see. When it comes to canned stuff, the rot don’t spread out easily after all.

Gintoki: Can the person one step away from rotting just stop talking?

Shinpachi: Even though she verbally abused everyone as usual, she doesn’t tell us the reason…

Umibozu: There’s no need to ask about such a thing, is there?

Page 33:

Umibozu: Then I’ll ask in return. What is the reason for me to come from across the universe and see you?

Kagura: Because you’re balding?

Umibozu: It doesn’t have anything to do with baldness.

Kagura: Or maybe that thing is balding.

Umibozu: I said it doesn’t have anything to do with baldness.

Umibozu: There’s no reason. There’s no reason for a family member to come and see the member of their family. Just as you need no reason to remain here and rebuild the Yorozuya. Same goes for your hell-raising big brother, he might come without no reason at all.

Shinpachi: And just like that… It is said that Umibozu-san’s back as he walked away looked a bit lonely and bald.

Otose: Well, whatever happened, I’m not going to complain as long as you pay the rent. With the world changing, is there no good stories to be heard?

Reporter: Behold, the rebuilding of the terminal has reached this stage.

Soyo: No matter how many disasters come knocking, as long as we have a heart that won’t give in we will be able to stand back up no matter how many times we’re knocked down.

Page 34

Soyo: That’s why, everyone, with me…

Reporter: With all due respect, Soyo-sama, but what we really want to hear is about the assassination of the previous leader Donald Zuramp. There have been some rumors that it was ordered by you to remove Donald Zuramp and gain power

Nobume: If the princess truly is someone who will assassinate people who stood in her way, does that mean you came here ready to die?

Reporter: Then, that rumor truly is real!

Shinpachi: They are the ones who rebuilt Edo that once again was filled with conflicts. Taking over what Zuramp (Katsura) –san has started, Soyo-hime marvelously rallied the masses and rebuilt Edo. And loyally staying by her side is Nobume-san. No… not just her. Surely by their side, those people are also…

Page 35

Shinpachi: And then one more person that must not be forgotten about.

?: You fools! There is no way the great Donald Zuramp was done in by the likes of those girls! That man is alive! His soul has become a Heroic Spirit that protects this land! Do not forget that Donald Zuramp is always watching you. Must you stray from the righteous path and forgot your heart, he will come and strike you down with heavenly vengeance!

Katsura (?): Yes, this patriotic Heroic Spirit , ObaZ!!

Gintoki: And that’s the end. Katsura-san is dead.

Shinpachi: Don’t kill him off on top of taking over the narration!! And it’s not like he’s definitely Katsura-san even if it’s 100% Katsura-san!

Gintoki: That idiot’s as good as dead anyway. I’ll put an end to him. And what’s with the continuous grumbling, when will you stop?

Shinpachi: Did you hear that!! I’m so embarassed!

Page 36:

Shinpachi: I thought it would be nice to leave a recording for Tama-san.

Gintoki: Just because it’s the final chapter do you think you can wrap it up high-handedly with a narration? It’s long and boring, and there’s no need to give that idiot Katsura any pages. Tama’s and the reader’s eyes will fall off if this goes on. Here, let me take over for a bit.

Gintoki: Tama, there has been so many things that happened since then, I don’t even know where to begin. But there is one thing I want you to know…

Gintoki: that everyone is dead.

Shinpachi: Don’t just wrap it all up like that!!!

Gintoki: Whatever, it’s fine isn’t it. Everyone will someday die anyway.

Shinpachi: That’s too rough a stroke to draw! Surely Tama-san would want to know what happened after that!

Kagura: Gin-chan, it’s just as Shinpachi said. It’s sad if only Tama doesn’t know anything. I will tell everything that happened and everything I feel while she’s gone.

Kagura: The tamagoyaki is delicious.

Shinpachi: What did you decide to tell her? Goddamit! If we also include commentaries about breakfast, our final chapter is going to be even longer all the volumes of KochiKame!!

Kagura: After KochiKome ended, for some reason Jump felt a little lonely.

Shinpachi: We also don’t need to know your feelings after KochiKome ended!!

Kagura: Jump, too, dies.

Shinpachi: Don’t say here that it will die!! That will just create misunderstandings!

Page 37

?: Now have you beheld the truth? Without another peron’s eyes to look at them, human will fall into corruption and decay to the very final chapter.

Shinpachi: Hey, who’s saying that? It’s not me, you know.

?: This world needs an ‘eye’ that will cross through time and watch over the nation for eternity. The only one who can do it is this Supreme Heroic Spirit… no, this Patriotic Heroic Spirit, Obaz--

Gintoki: He’s coming this far just because we didn’t pay attention to him, oi.

Kagura: Even so, with this we wrapped up one person. Who will be next?

Shinpachi: Don’t work your hardest to make this an ‘everybody dies’ ending!!

Gintoki: And those are his final words.

Shinpachi: I am not dead yet!!!

Shinpachi: it’s okay, I’m not going to let them take over the narration. As you have seen above, the torch lit by the Zuramp administration passed down, and with it comes too the revival of the Shinsengumi.

Matsudaira: I want to say welcome home, but the place we returned to is not so soft as to allow those words. This is a battlefield. All your overflowing feelings and nostalgia better be thrown out right here.

Page 38

Matsudaira: And drink until you’re dead!!!

Shinpachi: there’s not even a second to breathe in their job. So that the tax money from the people doesn’t get wasted, they fought without rest day and night. And that is alright because they have their girlfriends by their sides. Beside successfully reviving the dojo and gaining her own shop, my sister who has become the face of Kabuki-cho, the one who used to fight Kondo-san’s advances to the bitter end… they are now…

Shinpachi: They now support each other both publicly and privately. Though I feel quite lonely, for the sake of my sister’s happiness I shall pass through myriads of battles to become a proper adult. I wonder if I can manage to do so someday…

Shinpachi: OO! Eat this adult tsukkomi!!!

Page 39

Shinpachi: So it’s you! The one who’s been stealing my identity and went on and on as you please about things that didn’t happen!! Just what are you lot thinking? Don’t deceive yourself into thinking you can run off to imaginary land just because this is the final chapter, goddamit!!

Shinpachi: Just like that, the moment I set eyes on my brother in law, I just wanted to tease him.

Shinpachi: Oi! Are you a psycho or something, you bastard? That’s not what you normally say to people’s faces!

Shinpachi: Big sis too, why are you supporting this fabricated final chapter??

Tae: Eh? But I’m not doing anything, you know? I’m just…

Tae: Ou, Gorilla. If you ever show your face in this shop ever again, I’ll make it so that you’d have to pay triple.

Shinpachi: Something super scary just came out as the narration!!

Kondo: I understand, Otae-sama. My wallet… no, this government’s treasure vault belongs to you. Oh yeah, and here’s the live ticket to Bz’s as forward payment.

Tae: Ah, Gorilla you are such a bad boy.

Kondo: Ah, no, no, I’m nowhere near Otae-sama’s level.

Shinpachi: It’s just a scene of corruption!!

Tae: I’m sorry… you must have been trying to hide it using narration.

Shinpachi: My tears flows free, unable to stop. As I thought, the only person I can entrust big sister to is—

Shinpachi: Like that’s true at all!!

Gintoki: Oi, you’ve used up three pages on that bullshit. What’re you going to do now, you morons really never changed.

Okita: I’m sorry danna, but isn’t that for the best? I don’t need such a thing as a fabricated ending, as long as I have this peaceful everyday life.

Gintoki: oooh, you said a noble thing, didn’t you. Now wrap it up in the next panel. Wrap it up by committing hara-kiri.

Page 40

Okita: The peaceful everyday life they regained. But for Shinsengumi it is only the beginning of a new battle. From here onward, the Memoirs of Shinsengumi will begin serialization! This is but a small preview.

Gintoki: Rather than ending, a new serial is being greenlit over there!!

Gintoki: Where’s the heck’s the next issue gonna be?! Because of our repeated ending scam offense this manga’s been kicked off Jump!

Okita: With new costume and a new beginning, Shinsengumi’s new fight is freshly beginning. And what is the identity of their mysterious new enemy?

Gintoki: It’s not new at all! I’ve just seen that face just now!! Don’t try to be sneaky and come out here as well!!

Okita: And what exactly is Shinsengumi’s new weapon…?

Okita: Yamazaki-kun, during the process of your rebirth, your personality has been split into 108 individuals…

Gintoki: Oiii!! What happened there Jimmy? He’s still in a situation that looks wholly troublesome!!

Okita: Now, will the Shinsengumi succed in protecting Edo from the disgusting idiot?

Okita: Being a vice-chief is quite troublesome, after all… Now I’m painfully aware of how hard it was for you. But… I will support Shinsengumi for your sake as well, Hijikata-san.

Page 41

Hijikata: In the end you’re fabricating stuff as well!!

Hijkata: What are you people doing, slacking off on your jobs?! Pay for your shame by committing hara-kiri simultaneously!!

Okita: Hijikata-san, this is the final chapter, y’know? We’re not going to get paid even if we work anyway. Look at Yamazaki over there. He’s doing mecha poses with the mecha Yamazakis.

Hijikata: But why??

Gintoki: Vice-chief, vice-chief. I get it, I get it. None of you have the talent to wrap things up, I understand that now. For now, here, just put this on. Alright, now strike a pose. Good. Now stay just like that.

Hijikata: Please wrap this up, will you?! Just why did you tell me to strike a pose? What were those eyes??

Gintoki: Shinsengumi is that.

Hijikata: Is what?? What kind of wrapping up is that?!

Page 42

Tae: Hijikata-san, don’t be so tense. Since it’s a rare thing for everyone to gather under one roof, why don’t you relax as well? Considering this is the final chapter…

Hijikata: There’s no such thing as a final chapter on a policeman’s job!! During the time we’re being stupid like this—

Kyuubei: I see… so throwing up a huge fuss and going berserk inside a shop is a policeman’s job, is it? Then, I, too, shall do my job.

Hijikata: Oh yeah, I remember this kind of thing happening back then, Kyuubei. Fine, bring it on. I held back because you’re a woman but now I know you’re much more than that. Now show me the dedication to your job!!

Kyuubei: A serving of fruits coming up, now open wide~

Hijikata: You’re a cabaret girl?????????

Tae: When I invited her to just come and play, she said she feel bad about it and decided to help out as well.

Kyuubei: I thought up of a way to serve the costumers without coming into contact with men. Like this, being the number one cabaret girl is not a mere dream for me.

Hijikata: Don’t put someone who appreciates their personal space far too much on customer service!

Tae: This, right here, is a fight as well. There’s a lot of cabaret clubs where people try to please the costumers by eliminating distances, but I hear in Yoshiwara it’s customary to first reject the costumer with a swipe of your graceful, flowing sleeves and make them more interested that way!

Page 43

Tsukuyo: Otae, the mission is complete.

Hijikata: Forget graceful flowing sleeves, this girl has no sleeve!!

Sacchan: Mugu—Ginsyaan staaaph

Hijikata: With her being here as well, I don’t know what you’re trying to pull anymore!!

Tsukuyo: Kagura, how have you been?

Kagura: Everyone came here after all.

Tsukuyo: Yes, everyone does

Page 44

Zenzo: Shoo, shoo! Hey, I came here because I was invited to visit but there’s no fuglies around! What’s the meaning of this?!

Gintoki: Here’s your order, please enjoy your stay.

Gintoki: Dang it, what a troublesome bunch. Coming around and gathering just because it’s the final chapter.

Tae: But with this we can wrap the whole thing up with everyone’s narration, right?

Shinpachi: uh, why are you trying to wrap things up. Everyone getting drunk and having fun together, that fits us just well doesn’t it.

Page 45

Shinpachi: Yes. Truly, nothing has changed. That might be the best words we can offer you.

Shinpachi: Come on, please hold it together.

Gintoki: Which part of me is not holding it together? If you want proof I can list al Dragon Ball’s villains for you right now.

Shinpachi: Uh, that offer is already proof you’re no longer holding it together. Doctor—gororororororo

?: Hei, lady. I want ten more portions of this meal.

Abuto: Oi oi, just take it slow and stop right there, will ya? We’re a poor-as-dirt organization with no money and no financial backing, you know? Be a bit mindful about your spending habits.

Kamui: I can’t help it, this place just have the best food. Plus, it’s better to fill up your belly before a war.

Abuto: A war? Like we have the money to do that.

Page 46

Kamui: Then delay the excitement for a bit, lady. Next time, we will come to consume this planet.

Abuto: my, my. We spent so much again.

Kamui: Even if we are broke when it comes to money, we have to be rich in dreams.

Abuto: What about your little sister?

Kamui: Is that even a question? Of course, I will defeat her.

Abuto: Ah you’re saying such a thing again. Even though when your little sister went out to look for knowledge during the last two years, you followed her around for quite a while.

Kamui: Another old man also did the same as me, didn’t he? Don’t play dumb, you idiot.

Katsura: Y-you have very good eyes to notice me, ahahaha! That’s right, the Heroic Spirit ObaZ will always be watching y--

Page 47

Sakamoto: It has been some times since I contacted you, how are you faring? Chintoki-kun, as always I’m still running around in space. As I thought, space is just the best. When I look out to the infinity stretched before me, petty stuff like all my bad feelings just packed their bags and left. Mantoki-kun should come and look around space with me next time.

Sakamoto: Now, the reason why I took up the brush this time is that there is something I must tell you. I promised that come hell or high water I will come and save you, but when I saw the broken terminal I had honestly thought “Oh, well, they’re dead lol”.

Sakamoto: I don’t mean to say this as mere consolation, but I believe the one who saved you was, without question, that man. After sacrificing his all to the Altana and was erased, he became a part of it and protected his students.

Page 48

Sakamoto: That’s why I don’t think there’s any reason for you to feel lonely. Without doubt your teacher is there, inside that planet, and always watching over you.

Sakamoto: To my dearest friend, Chinmanbuku-kun.

Sakamoto: P.S. I met Zura recently and heard that the remnant of Kiheitai is showing strange movements.

Katsura: Dragon’s veins?

Henpeita: Yes. I heard she continued her journey to visit every Dragon’s Veins opening in the land.

Katsura: Just who is she imitating by doing that….

Henpeita: I believe she must have been unable to forgive her own self who allowed Sakata Gintoki to bear the burden of Takasugi’s... of everything.

Page 49

Henpeita: Of course we are grateful, to be able to see his smile once more—the man who was trapped by death. And this time, this is her turn.

Katsura: ….

Katsura: Takasugi’s body was certainly swallowed by altana, but the possibility of him being reborn is not even one in a million. That miracle only happened because Utsuro was born from the Altana.

Henpeita: And that does not matter. Because this is Kiheitai’s atonement. Our cross to bear.

Katsura: Takechi, could it be you too….

Katsura: won’t give me any attention?

Sakamoto: I believe that something like a miracle doesn’t exist in this world.

Page 50

Sakamoto: the things that happen in this world have a reason to be, and only happen because they must. That’s why I don’t think you being saved was a miracle, no.

Villager1: Why is in this kind of place…

Villager2: Did someone abandon it?

Villager3: It’s the work of the Dragon Vein God, the divine punishment of the Dragon Vein God!

Sakamoto: A teacher protecting his students can’t be called a miracle. It’s just how things are.

Page 51

Tae: Oh, so you came after all.

Tae: It’s been some time since we meet our father together. We should report something to him.

Shinpachi: No…

Shinpachi: Back then, father looked up to the skies of Edo and lamented. And yet… even though this is that very same sky, it seems so different now.

Page 52

Shinpachi: That’s because I know now that everyone is also under this very sky.

Page 53

Shinpachi: It doesn’t matter if a cloud comes rolling in. I know that, inside our hearts, everyone is still here underneath my sky.

Page 54

Shinpachi: That’s why, Tama-san… Even if now you’re standing underneath an unknown sky, even if now you’re standing underneath a sky under which we no longer exist. Please don’t cry. Beneath your sky, by your side, we are always there.

Page 55

Shinpachi: That’s right. If you would kindly believe us, then it doesn’t matter what comes. Without fail we will break through the world, the era, and the panels to come and wipe your tears.

Page 56

Tama: Let’s go.

?: After that, those girls continue to live in this era. A world of technology where robots are at its peak prosperity. Humanity had their homes and jobs robbed from them by the robots, and in this new world a new main character appear.

?: Those girls lived happily, and humans became jobless. Everyone. Every last one.

Page 57

Madao: If everyone is jobless then joblessness is no longer joblessness. Joblessness will become colorlessness. And then colorlessness will become happiness…

Tama: Hasegawa-san…?

Yorozuya: You’re trying to fabricate an ending too aren’t you??!!

Gintoki: You bastard! What kind of final chapter you’re trying to make Tamako believe?!

Kagura: Don’t just make up a story about the future as you please!!

Madao: No, you’re wrong! You’re wrong! It’s just I stopped being a hero and tried looking for jobs but no one would hire me!! That’s why I was just telling Matako-chan that it’s good thing the world has become one where everyone is jobless!!

Tamako: I’m sorry. It seems like there is an error in my data.

Gintoki: Yoo, what’s with that half-asleep face you’re making there, Tama? Well whatever, we’re going out on an emergency job so you keep your eyes open until we’re back, got it? There’s no need for us to wipe those tears, eh?

Kagura: Gin-chan! What’s the emergency job again?

Gintoki: Eh…? What is it…

Shinpachi: Why are you forgetting it even if the work is an emergency??

Kagura: What was it…

Gintoki: What was it…

Gintoki: Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. Because we are--

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 674

MY 20 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 674:

I LOVE THIS CHAPTER TOO!!! SO MUCH TO REJOICE OVER!!! BEWARE: LOTS OF YELLING AHEAD BECAUSE I WAS FREAKING THE FUCK OUT THROUGH MOST OF THIS CHAPTER!

1) OMFGSHESSOCUTEITSUNREAL!!!!! I LOVED HER IMMEDIATELY AND WANTED TO PROTECT HER FOREVER!!!!

2) I don’t even think I cared that the math didn’t add up, I just loved her to bits and wanted her to be absolutely for real.

3) THEY WERE STILL TALKING!! I was so worried that after the last chapter it would jumpcut to a different scene and Gintoki would already be ushered off to somewhere else or something like that (I’m paranoid). The fact that they were still continuing their conversation was enough to make me so happy already.

4) I WANTED GINTOKI TO LODGE THERE FOR FREE, FOREVER!!!! It’s almost CRUEL how Sorachi-sama teased me with that idea!

5) That was unexpected. When I first read the last chapter, I thought he was just some random Shinsengumi member, don’t even think I spared him a glance, so when Hijikata addressed him here, I think I was surprised too.

6) Love the metaness. I thought he was an insignificant mobcop too.

7) In fact, I think I was a little annoyed that this mobcop was now disrupting the conversation between my Gintoki and Hijikata.

8) I was actually happy when Hijikata smacked him. I had NO IDEA WHO HE WAS AT THE TIME.

9) And then I thought, oh, he’s like a Tama-type robot, but more disgusting. Wtf.

10) Still no idea who he was, just thought his backstory was kinda sad. But I was still slightly annoyed we were taking precious GinHiji time to focus on this Mobcop. I can’t believe how stupid I was; should’ve guessed he was important based on the time spent on him!

11) Gintoki being such an understanding counselor.

12) Yep, I flipped out. Never expected this AT ALL.

13) But then I was instantly glad that not only did our precious Yamazaki survive, he was now better equipped to be with Tama. They’re totally perfect for each other! And they even have an offspring in Tamako. My dream of Yamazaki being Tama’s special screw was that much closer to becoming true. I was happiness.

14) They kinda deserved this for forgetting poor Jimmy. Obviously no one even picked up Yamazaki from where they left him once the battle was over. I don’t blame Gin-chan as much cuz he had a lot of things going on, but I definitely blame his Shinsengumi brothers.

15) NOOOOO!!!! I DIDN’T WANT HIM TO LEAAAVE!!!!! Dammit Gintoki!!!!

16) These two precious babies!!! They really are so adorable it was almost unbearable!

17) ACK! SO CUTE! I DIED. She really IS the ultimate weapon. No one can survive her cuteness!

18) That made absolutely no sense but I didn’t even CARE what banana or whose banana, I was just grateful to the banana for producing this little angel with Kagura.

19) Complete nonsense, but I STILL DIDN’T CARE. If Kanna-chan says she’s Kagura’s daughter, then by the gods she IS Kagura’s daughter. I mean, yeah, eventually I did wonder (before the reveal) if maybe she was a clone or like a long lost sister or something crazy like that, but at THAT moment I really didn’t care.

20) AND ALL WAS RIGHT WITH THE TIMESKIP WORLD AGAIN!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!! THE PRINCE RETURNS!!!!! I wept from joy and relief.

SHIPS TALLY:

Gintoki x Hijikata: omg Gintoki’s expression...my heart melted from how soft it was!! Like, that was just for Hijikata and Hijikata alone. No one else has ever seen him with such a tender look. And now, knowing what we know, Hijikata’s reaction just makes me tear up. He must’ve been sooooooo disappointed!!! Ugh, my heart aches for him.

Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just so freaking amazing. It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s generosity that I can enjoy Gintama on yet another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.

"We are just so annoyed that you are acting like you grew up in those two years and parted your hair like that despite being a cherry" But he looks really good. And I'm still waiting for the mobcop to be on a cover.

Gintama Chapter 683 Review

youtube

The past chapters have been nothing but emotional and somewhat dreary. While that is not a bad thing, it was concerning to believe the end for Joui 3 won’t be delightful, especially one with a potential death. Gintoki and Takasugi are back in Edo, so begin the buildup for a reunion. This chapter continues the trend of ominous tone, but once more goes back to the fun and humorous side that it was needed.

Takasugi has been really impressive in this arc so far. Rather than him showing you why, this time it lets others speak. It’s reassuring that Kiheitai is heading to Edo as well, so the reunion in one setting is definitely going to be very pleasant. That said Matako shows an act of maturity. Rather following him like a typical fan girl, she is conflicted on what to do.

Sorachi inserted the captain who took Gintoki and Takasugi to Edo on his ship to exploit the reason for Matako’s pondering. It’s writing technique to have one character’s line indirectly share with another from afar. Basically, Takasugi is more of a genuine good person this time. Despite the dark history that the captain knew about, he can’t help but felt the need to help him from his determination. It’s no wonder they were portrayed like good comrades.

The chapter wants to point out that with Takasugi being on good term, he and Gintoki never look so alive like best friends finally going on a journey that they have dreamt since school days. Plenty of series tends to showcase the friendship of two rivals. Some are good to believe and some are bad with its hammering. This one is fortunately good because of the past developments and interactions that you can buy in easily. It’s not out of nowhere, it’s organic as it can get.

It’s a warm feeling since we know Takasugi’s death clock is ticking rapidly. It’s sadder with Matako noting that he has never looked so happy in her time with him. After the captain’s speech, she backs up his claim about the two being best friends and not in for a duty. She doesn’t know if she doesn’t want to interfere or she wants to continue to watch him enjoying his remaining life. I don’t think she knows he’s dying, but regardless, it’s mature of her to think this way, yet sad to know all of this should have happened a long time ago.

I really like the sightseeing from Gintoki, clearly missed his home. The foundation between him and everyone is so incredible, any reunion will put a smile on my face. Well, besides one, we will get to that soon. The town isn’t done fixing, but it looks like certain areas are going to be more city-like than before. It’s a bit charming comparison to him and a brat of returning home. Everyone will eventually forgive.

Before going forward with the exploration, the chapter shifts to where Tendoshu are discussing with Hitsugi. I knew it was him under that casted mask and missing limbs. That said the information that the Tendoshu spout isn’t new, but the point is how manipulative and control they have against him; practically made him into their slave. They even go far as insulting him while he was still there, yet they know and proceed to do so. What a bunch of assholes.

I don’t know the plan is to have Naraku backstab them one day, but that would be some hell of an enemy of my enemy is my friend scenario. Hitsugi is doing it for his beloved master. He too seek for immortality, but that is more down the line of contribution than selfish reason. The stare is probably foreshadow, but we have to wait and see where the road lies ahead.

As for Tendoshu, they’re the worst since they have things in control as they love to have. There’s an elaborated reason for them seeking to take Altana from Edo. It’s basically Plan B in which they would take it and somehow create a replicated heart. They’re pretty much power hungry. The best part is they are getting their revenge against Utsuro after last time, so the table has turned. Remarkable to make me feel bad for him; well, the Shoyo part of him at least.

Another new info is the location of the Tengenism’s temple. It’s not even on Earth, rather floating in space since it’s a moving temple Kuyou. It’s practically a giant ship, but it’s worth noting because it’s where they keep Utsuro’s body. I don’t know if that would be the final battle setting, but it’s the only way to get the job done. That or somehow it will go down on Earth. Why is it in space? Because they have huge ego when they designed the ship with the mindset of looking down on Earth. Is it wrong to hope for crash and burn?

Takasugi has been a swell guy. He even offer Gintoki a time alone to catch up with his friends. Gintoki tries to avoid the opportunity with a reasonable argument that would cause a stir. Could you imagine if your hero decide to save a killer? Naruto could work, but in this series, no. Takasugi got him good with a response that exposed him. Gintoki is afraid of being conflicted on his decision because if he reunites with Yorozuya, he will start thinking as a guy who must cleanse evil. It’s challenging and I’m loving it. I seriously hope Sorachi can deliver the message profoundly.

After that, the chapter or series in general decides to go back to the humorous side and it’s worth it. As usual, it’s hilarious with the shenanigans with Hijikata and Yamazaki; oh sorry, Mobcop. It’s a great timing to reference Devilman since Gintoki is on the verge to lose his sanity. The image with him holding the glasses kills me. Even Sorachi is aware of the potential dark ending. Oddly enough, if Devilman Crybaby is the audience’s first introduction to the franchise, consider it a major spoiler.

I also got a good laugh at the explanation of how they followed Gintoki. Mobcop was supposed to be flying, which is why Hijikata looked hype when boarding on him. Too bad his gas apparently ran out, so they only latch on the boat underwater. I’m here thinking, “Wouldn’t Hijikata drown by that point?” Well, he was close to death at least five times. Mobcop’s fuel is anpan, which is a funny and clever reference to Robocop in which uses baby food. Although, he needs a specific type alas fine-grained bean paste, so apparently, he’s pretty picky.

After a good comedy, the chapter revert back to a serious tone, this time with Hijikata. He isn’t sure if Gintoki is doing something evil, which technically he is for now, but if he can confirm, then he will kill him. I thought it was touching for he reacted like he doesn’t want to say it but if it comes to it, then it must be done. You can tell how much he does care about him as a friend.

To make it more emotional, he reminds Mobcop the code of Shinseigumi, but also reflect that it’s the same group that Gintoki has saved. It would be a damn sad ending if it all goes to that route. Mobcop gives him a reality check of what’s no longer there, but Hijikata subtly tell him to shut up. I so can’t wait for a reunion. With those two back in Edo, it’s only matter of time.

We are back with more comedy and it’s so funny. After the heartfelt moment, the follow-up breaks away from the dreary mood and embark whacky plan in motion. Gintoki and Takasugi go their separate way, so normally, two against two would mean one take on one. Not for Mobcop; he literally split up to chase both respectively. Yes, it’s very normal for citizens to split from the waist down. Unless it’s Tokyo Ghoul.

I really like how Sorachi managed to freshen up the dynamic between him and Hijikata; this is why the comedy doesn’t get old. I like how Hijikata talks about what anpan he’s going to get for him but of course, each time he says it, it’s only a trolling remark. It’s only because Mobcop keeps screwing up. After being told to blend in, the most logic thing to do is disguise with the identity of another. Apparently, Hijikata has a twin brother now.

The dumb part about it is how Mobcop is pretty much saying that Hijikata’s job is only to get the anpan for him. Even when disguised as him, he was going to grab one, completely disregard the main target. I couldn’t stop laughing at the stupidity. It only breaks the trend once Mobcop acts natural and by his definition, it means no clothes, all free. That’s when Hijikata finally stop trolling and actually got the anpan for him, so he can stop humiliating him. Fan girls must be stoked.

The last couple of pages are hilarious. Gintoki almost caught them but they somehow blend in with the store ads, acting like mannequin. Mobcop exposes more than enough if you get what I mean. Somehow, it works unless Gintoki is lying, which I can definitely believe. Otherwise, he’s easily fooled. What got me laughing so much is after he left, it appears things are secured, but shortly after, he returns with a panic look. He buys an underwear, wears it over his head, and all the sudden, he’s tagging along with others in disguising. Why? Because Otae appears. Need I say more? Hijikata’s reaction cracks me up.

This was a pretty amusing chapter with a nice change of pace with its humor. The buildup to the next and most likely the last mission has been engaging with conflicting personal issue. The driving theme of making a choice appeals me and it has me very curious. The artwork is clean and the humorous tone delivered with laughable sequences. The cliffhanger was amusing. I don’t know if I want him to get caught, but if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed, it’s the fear of a gorilla. I mean Otae…

This presentation contained many more visual elements, research design ideas and APA references (Yay!). Also, by exploring the definitions of the three terms (Interactive, Technology and System) individually I was able to come up with my definition of ITS as a whole.

“An engaging and intuitive interaction between people, technology and design”

Even though this presentation contained more elements, it still was lacking the quality I’d want in my final pitch. It was very simplistic and wasn’t very convincing I was trying to sell someone on my idea. Next time I definitely want to include stronger visuals and my own design rather than just speculating about what it could look like. I also want to include a deeper meaning behind the ITS installation.

Gintama Chapter 674 Review

youtube

There’s no other way to say it. Sorachi is absolutely a mad man. If there’s someone worthy of a title, “Best Troll of all time,” he will be the best candidate. The best part is that his tactic comes off with a hilarious payoff that makes the moment all the more brilliant. This chapter continues off with this new or second half of an arc in a hilarious and charming way.

There are plenty of times that I often predict the outcome before it happens. While there are some that I hope to get it wrong, I wouldn’t mind it; so long it comes out with a greater payoff. It’s my way to say, “Surprise me!” Sorachi has been a rare creature that never fails to do so. I have laughed so much throughout the chapter with its hilarious buildup, including the one that we left waiting for the long-waited reunion. So I thought…

Kagura punches Shinpachi through the glass two chapters ago, so we had to wait for a bit in order to see her new design. This chapter resumes that scene and the hype is phenomenal. When Shinpachi couldn’t believe that it’s her but knows that accent, you can already feel the anticipation. Mutsu even fills in the introduction to her reveal. Part of me thought that Kagura would end up looking strange like unexpectedly designed for the sake of comedy delivery. Comedy or not, I was excited to see the reunion with Kagura.

The more panels it shows her design from a different angle, the more it was taunting my patience. At that point, I thought maybe she would end up looking like the same as two years ago, which I wouldn’t mind as well. So finally, the big reveal is here and…the girl is really short. In fact, she’s a kid. I skipped the text bubble because I was frozen to think Kagura has gone backward in aging. Then, I finally read the text bubble and…

It’s Kanna…Kagura’s daughter…

My mind was absolutely blown away to the center of the Sun. It would have been fine if Kagura somehow went younger, but an idea of a daughter has never, ever, ever, came to my mind. It was so unbelievable, Shinpachi literally thunderstruck to space with this revelation, which even got him paralyzed. Can you honestly blame him? This is madness; absolutely madness! This is comedy gold.

Sorachi is no doubt having a time of his life making fun of the concept of a time-skip that it’s making other series look baffling in compare. It’s incredible that he is able to execute the running gag for so long that it continues to deliver the punch line time after time. Final Fantasy running gag should have ran its course already, but Sorachi not only sticks around but utilizes in an unexpected way, especially to a character that I wouldn’t guess at all. He brings in a new level of the concept “milk for all its worth.” He certainly did…

Shinpachi was so struck by the revelation, the scene shifts back to Gintoki and Hijikata continuing to discuss. This questionable situation with Takasugi does remain a mystery as it intended to be. We do know that he has taken Utsuro’s blood from Tendoushuu to obtain semi-immortal ability, but there are still plenty of unsolved questions. It was said that he has planned this since two years ago, which is why he was helping Earth in the space battle. It is possible though I don’t think that’s the only reason.

Gintoki and Hijikata still feel uncertain on his agenda to commit these acts like we have gone back to the beginning. If that is the case, we can’t draw the conclusion just yet if no one has a concrete answer. We shouldn’t jump to it until everything is on the table. We only know that he has a new ability and assumingly searches for Utsuro to finish the job. Other than that, we don’t know why is he like this, what happened to Kiheitai, and so on. It’s wise to wait and see how the story connects completely.

One thing I noticed about Hijikata is how he rubs Gintoki’s face by emphasizing his abandonment on Yorozuya; as if he is no innocent to talk negatively on anyone else since he more or less did the same. Memory is an amazing feature for mankind to have and he is exploiting that to the core. After all, it is questionable on why Gintoki disbanded them in the first place; for two years no less. The question is if the family can be forever lasting. Even that robotic looking guy questions him further, but Gintoki is good at hiding it. As good it was to get us discussing, there’s just one problem: who is that robotic guy?

I didn’t mention him in my last chapter review because he appeared for a short moment to take orders from Gintoki. This kicks off with another hilarious segment that has a great buildup for the reveal. Up close, he looks like Robocop, only he is called Mobcop; good save from copyright lawsuit there. I was laughing throughout this moment because of how dumbfounded Hijikata was feeling since he thought he came out of nowhere, but even Mobcop tells him he was in the last chapter. So we got another new character in this late part of the series. Right?

Mobcop is treated like a rookie, first day at the job and all. It’s hysterical that while he was preparing the order in an awkward pose, Hijikata continues to discuss in a very serious manner, but I couldn’t take it. It focuses too much on Mobcop doing “something” and ruins the flow of tension, which got Hijikata pissed off. He was making cutlet bowl, which is nice, but why on God’s name in a taking a dump position. If that wasn’t enough, his mayonnaise squirting has him position like taking a piss. Sorachi has no boundary.

Mobcop was going all over the place that even Hijikata can’t comprehend his action anymore. First, he was making food in unspeakable manner, then he starts threating Gintoki to confess with the intent to kill, and lastly, somehow he becomes all sincere and has a sad flashback to boot. What’s hilarious is how Sorachi cleverly use this opportunity to make fun of series that quickly introduced a new character and already shoving in people’s throat to care about him immediately. Hijikata wasn’t having any of it because it’s only this chapter that we got to know him yet he’s treated like a real relevant character. Oddly enough, I already like Mobcop by this point.

His backstory is pretty much the same as Robocop; fights crime, only to be nearly killed, revived as a cyborg, and the rest is history. It was actually touching in a funny way that he ended up like this, including keeping his emotions, hence the tears. I don’t know if I should be impressed or not, but Gintoki somehow knows how to turn the table to his favor and start investigating Mobcop. The investigator becomes investigated; that’s hysterical. Sorachi knows how to make new characters in the last minute charming and fun. And then, a book was thrown out…

Mobcop is not a new character. It’s a forgotten one: Yamazaki.

I rolled out of my seat with this big reveal. The punch line is so incredible; no man can say Sorachi has lost his touch. I still remember Yamazaki, but the series did a brilliant job to ignore him after that last scene from the War. It’s sadistically sad to even ignore his possible death, but hey, he’s a Mobcop equipped with food and firepower. I died from this scene as well as with Kanna’s reveal. Basically, Yamazaki is a cyborg; an awesome one as he stated it. On the bright side, one day, if Tama ever wakes up, they can spend together for a long time. That’s actually clever of Sorachi if you ask me.

The charming spot moment from this outcry is when Gintoki makes his escape, but not without asking one question to Hijikata: is Yorozuya doing okay? He replies, “Go see for yourself.” He honestly wants them back and that brings me to tear. In fact, that smile from Gintoki got to me. Now that I know that this series isn’t ending just yet, I am very curious on how the reunion would play out and what to expect for their actual future. In other words, don’t think this is finalized for everyone. It’s only a new path to work out and seek for the greater future.

I have to say, I am still in favor for a sequel with this new trio. Those two little girls are so charming that it could make a new line of comedy hijinks. I love how Kanna was taught that glasses is an actual being and needs a human body to wake up; she’s really the daughter of Kagura. I also love Shinpachi finally got react to the revelation and how unbelievable to believe Kagura is a mother at a very young age. He reacted nearly the same way I did, including Jump having the major Kintama to even green light this idea. I could imagine an angry mob already in this PC country. It is hilarious Shinpachi also include himself because he’s a virgin and losing to someone else is sad.

To top everything, Kanna’s origin is revealed and good God, I need air. Kagura ate too many bananas in one planet and ta-da, Kanna is born, Piccolo style. I won’t even think about the implications. So basically, it’s more of fission than a child birth I guess, but it’s so mind-numbingly strange, so I will just wait for Kagura to give me a clear understanding. It’s so bizarre, even for this series; that’s an amazing accomplishment.

Right before Kanna was about to answer Shinpachi’s questions, a stranger that is rocking the gangster design really well comes by. This must be the guy that will help them to assassinate Zurump. The chapter ends with a close-up shot that does scream Sougo. If true, and God it better be true before I think he’s the son, it will completely debunk his seppuku story.

This chapter was amazing in a bizarre way. It’s one that no man has gone before and Sorachi has done it. While it may cause fans to lose their mind, it is filled with hysterical moments with great buildup to the reveal of new and old characters. The art is spot on with the comedy delivery, which got me rolling. The ending has to be Sougo, unless we are about to get mind blown once again. We have two weeks to recover…
