Lesson 675: Final Fantasy Happens in real life too.

-Not surprisingly the assassin Matsudaira hired is indeed Okita.

-First thing he does is to attack Shinpachi to see what he’s made of.

-Gintoki’s looking for Takasugi using a badly drawn picture (of which he find someone who looks like the portrait, lol.)

-When he thinks he finds Taka about to get into a brawl with punks it’s actually Henpeita.

-Gintoki attacks him but stops when Matako points a gun to his head and tearfully asks if Takasugi is alive.

-Okita says the Shinsengumi “died” since they’re no longer needed in a peaceful era.

-Shimaru is with this new group too.

-They basically work in the shadows now due to the Govt restructuring.

-They have an official name, which is really friggin long, so Okita says “Call us the Mafia”, lol. (It’s something like “Japan’s great safety enforcement investigation bureau”.)

-Okita’s kinda happy with this since without Hijikata and Kondo to stop him he can do whatever he wants.

-To be fair Shinpachi isn’t able to land a hit, but he’s not getting hit either. Guess he’s improved!

-Kanna offers to help tho, lol, and does proceed to hit Okita hard enough that he goes flying.

-The Kiheitai has been looking for Taka for the last two years so that they can help Takasugi in whatever he wants to do.

-Gintoki tells them to stop as he’s probably not acting for their sake but his own.

-He thinks of the Yorozuya and says Taka probably went without them because if he hadn’t he wouldn’t be able to do what he needs to. Though he does encourage them to go if they really want to “It’d be the right thing to do –to stop him.”
