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 HideakiRed: Lesson 699 Sakata Gintoki and his ComradesBottom Left Blue: Hurry to the next page for the manga!!Page 4:Insert: What the hell is going on...?!Narration: Summary up to this pointA universe-scale war intended to bring an end to everythingwas created by the immortal majinUtsuro.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 ondeep underground inside the Dragon Veins.Two years later, his body was successfully reconstructedand 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 Utsurowas 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 wishthat 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 Gintokiand 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 Altanato 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 senpaisand 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 salesjust what power we've got?!With this GIGA'sSFX: DOHGin: 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 GunTaka: 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: ZAHPage 10:Taka: Thanks to that, we were ableto make it hereon 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 12:SFX: DOOOONGuys: Y-You fieeends!!SFX: ZUGAGAGAPage 13:SFX: DO DOSFX: GAGAGA WAAGuys: Eliminate them!!Page 14:Guys: Any heretic that interferes in our god-channeling ceremony...shall feel our wrath!!SFX: WAAAAZura: 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 lengthsto extend their lives.SFX: GA GA GA GAGuys: 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 overcomethis final trial with you two,SFX: DOUPage 16:Taka: If these lives end here,I'll have no regrets!Heh.Even now, I'm not sureif those meetings brought more sadnessor 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: DOOOSFX: DOON DOON DOOOGUys: We may hate each otherand try to kill each other,SFX: GOPAASFX: GOGOOSomeone: 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 DOHSFX: WAAAAGuys: 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 stillhave 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,butthe thing you really wished forhas already long since been...Page 23:SFX: GOUSFX: GAHSomeone: JUUUUUMP!!SFX: DOGAAASFX: GO GO GO GO GO GOSomeone: Zura!!!!SFX: DO DO DO DO DOPage 24:SFX: WAAAAAZura: 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 beencouragement?Taka: If that's what it sounded like, then maybe making an exit would be a good idea.Page 25:SFX: DOONSFX: GOONGuys: !!That was...No way...Page 26:Someone: This is an message to the group that is occupying the Terminal.SFX: OOOOOOMatsu: You are surrounded.Stop resisting and abandon your weapons immediately.If you do not comply...Guys: Shoot them out of the skyyyyy!!!SFX: WAAAAPage 27:SFX: GOPAA DODOOOMatsu: If you do not complywe will thank you.Page 28:Matsu: Thanks to all of you,we,this country,has become so strong.Page 29:SFX: WAHGuys: It's them...!!SFX: DOUKon: 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 erawe lived out lives in a stat of confusion and worry,but now, we can saythose 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 thingsthat 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 longerbe 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: WAAAASFX: DOOONGuys: 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 idiotsare called samurai.Someone: Yo!You sure took your time!You took so long we thought you might've turned tail and ran.SFX: ZANSomeone: And if there's no palanquin to carry, it's not a real festival!SFX: DOHPage 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 lastwild 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 DOHTen: 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 bloodthat 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 Utsurothat 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 thatwas too much of a luxury.Perhaps we took up that burden as welllong ago.They really havegotten strong.Page 42:Binboku: Ready yourselves.This is where we die.SFX: JAKITae: 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 fittingfor you to be carrying with you than that heart, right?I have what I have to take back,and you havewhat you need to take back...SFX: GOUNSFX: ZUGAGAGAGASFX: DODODODODODoPage 44:SFX: GO GO GO GOSFX: OOO OOOOSFX: GA PASFX: DO DOO OOSFX: GAPOPage 45:SFX: DOGOOOSFX: OOOOOGin: We should hurry.Taka: .....SFX: DO DO DO DO DOSFX: WAAAATsuku: Get movin', Shinpachi!!

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: HmPage 47:Tsuku: I'm gonna live onand 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 anythingthat I gotta take back.Page 48:Gin: The things I lost,I got back a long time ago.I've got them allright here with me.The reason I'm hereis so I don't lose a single one of them.SFX: DOPAAPage 49:SFX: DOKAAZura: Gintoki!!
