It seems like he's still got some of his human mental faculties left.These orders are even more crude than usual. But I guess that's how the Shinsengumi's gotta be.Page 11:Hiji: We might be reviving a monster that could destroy the world,but it sure looks like fun.Kon: Ya know, it sure...brings back memories.Being in a rain of bullets sure feels more nostalgicthat living in a peaceful world where war's ended. We sure have lived some crazy lives.What the hell were we fighting for these past two years?Okit: Finally figured it out, huh?WeSFX: KACHAOki: are the people absolutely least suited to being peace-protecting police.SFX: DOONOki: But it's still a little early to be nostalgic.If ya like fighting,the strongest fighter still hasn't come home.SFX: DOHSFX: WAAAHaji: ---No, they're back now.Page 12:Hiji: Looks like we butted in where we weren't needed.They're the type to silently spur you on.But... those are definitelysome nostalgic backs.Guy: THis is an image from a security camera.The form of ronin fighting with the army in black clothes...!!Just who in the world could they be?With Madao deceased, are they perhaps new saviors that will carry on his will?...No.SFX: ZAZAPage 13:Hase: I'm not deaaaaaaaad!!SFX: DO DO DO DOAna: How could you cut off the relay like that, we're still alive!!We're currently under attack from the mysterious group that came out of the ship!Someone: Oh, I see. Then it sounds like you'll be dying pretty soon, huh? Thank you so much for your reporti~ng.Ana: Don't cut me ooooff!! Do you want us to die that badly?!!I have the hero, Madao, here with me! I'm sure he'll easily get us out of this pinch!!Hase: How the hell long are you gonna keep following me?! With you around it's so much harder for me to get awa- Er...Ana: We've come this far, so we're going to go with you!! We need to capture the hero's bravery on camera!!Hase: Uh, that might be a problem. With you guys here, I... Uh....Can't fight all-out!! You guys could get caught up in the fight!!Once I get into go-mode, I become a mindless killing machine!!If you're next to me, you'll die for sure!! And I definitely won't be able to help you! In fact you might even be safer next to the enemy!!Ana: Uh, what kind of hero are you exactly?Page 14:Hase: Anyhow, I'm not gonna stop till every last one of them is on the ground, so you'd better hurry and get out of-SFX: FUHGuys: !!Oh dammit, from the front, too?!Ana: Madao-san!!SFX: WAAAAAna: Aah!

Yeah, er, uh, that may look like begging for my life at first glance, but...It's... It's a technique where I sent the burning flames of my mouth ulcers through the ground and explode at the feet of my enemies.Ana: Mouth ulcers can do something that terrifying?! It honestly looked like you were just apologizing!Hase: Th-That wasn't me saying I was sorry, that was an incantation, "Aym sah ri"...Guys: !!SFX: GACHA GACHASomoene: AAAAAHHH!!There's enemies all over the place around here!!Ana: Heeeeey! Who do you think you're using as a shield?!Hase: 'Aym sah ri'! 'Aym sah ri'!Ana: Oh come on, you were totally just blurting out apologies!!KYaaaa! Stay awaaay!Hase: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't-SFX: BUNPage 17:SFX: KAHAna: I used aym sah ri, toooooo!!!Hase: Uh, no, I think that was my aym sah ri. My mouth ulcers must've spread splashed onto you, infecting you with them, so now they're in your mouth, too...Ana: Could you please don't say super gross stuff like that?!! I think I'm okay without being able to do aym sah ri, then.Hase: I'm sorry!!SFX: DOOHase: I'm sorry!!SFX: DOKAAHase: I... I've really awakened...Ana: Th-This is amazing. So this is what a hero can do.I'm sorry I doubted you.I'd thought that, despite everyone calling you a hero, you maybe weren't really anything that impressive.But you really are...Hase: ...No, you were right the first time.I didn't do anything great in that war.The ones that pulled off the really incredible stuff didn't even think about trying to get any personal glory from them, and just started off on their own person wars right after.I claimed all their achievements for myself. I'm total fraud of a hero.Page 18:Hase: But even after getting so pampered over being a hero,with all these great women surrounding and getting all the booze I could drinkand gorging myself on food,I wasn't enjoying myselfeven a little more than I had been before.I wonder why.All I'd lost was just one drinking buddy.That's why I came here.Even if I couldn't do anything useful, even if I threw away the title of hero,I wantedto drink cheap sake with that guy again.Maybe the reason I got a power like thisis because those feelings reached the heavens...But... Since I lied, I gotta make sure I say this to you.I'm sorry.Page 19:SFX: DONSFX: BUSHAANHata: Old man, stop getting in my way. You made me miss my shot!Old: What do you mean? There's enemies all over the place, just shoot wherever and you'll hit somebody!Hata: Did I hit a human? Was somebody down there?Ah, then should I? Should I say it just in case?I'm sorry!Insert: One idiot leaves and another one enters.Bottom: Gintama...Lesson 696/ End
