It pains me to disagree,but what we did was nothing short of atonement.As the ones that started that war, as the ones that could not stop those mistakes, we spent these past two years thinking of nothing but what was in our power to repair.Page 12:Kujaku: We will not repeat that mistake again.It is for that end that we have poured all we have into these two years.But my earth friend...somewhere among that huge mistake, we may have alreadyoverlooked them.The seeds of a mistakethat connect to today.Someone: It happened again?Yes.On both planets Hourai and Tenkai, there have been large-scale acts of terrorism targeting the gates.Page 13:Kujaku: And without exception,a large amount of Altana was stolen from the planets.These make 13 countries in total.We still haven't the slightest idea how they did it,or what the organization is that is carrying out these acts of terrorism spanning across multiple planets.The people of those planets that committed the crimeshad no connection to each other at all. They just suddenly formed a cabal one day, carried out the terrorism, and committed suicide.Or, that's what we thought.But while searching for their true identity and for the missing Altana, we found something.Zura: Would thatbe this?Kujaku: !!Katsura, is that...?Zura: If you know you'll history, you should know.Page 14:Zura: In times of war, disaster, famine, and chaos in the world, the thing humans always depend onis religion.But religion misleads people as well.Tengenism.T/N: Tengen = Heaven Source/OriginKu: All of the ones that carried out those acts of terror were follows of that religion.I'd heard the original organization was a religion of remote planets that worships the power of planets, 'Altana'.But spanning many planets, it absorbed several other religions, and transformed into something completely different. Though that's not important right now.What's important is that idol they worship.That thing that appears to be a bird clad in flames.Zura: It is known as, a divine beast which, oddly enough,holds the holds the same meaning in our country.Page 15:Zura: A phoenix.In other words, 'undying'....Shijaku, the reason these Tengenists that are committing these acts of terror all overand gathering Altana is because what they worship isUtsuro,isn't it?Page 16:Shijaku: So you already put together that much...? But then, as I'm sure you're aware...Zura: Yes. Tengenism is spreading to Edo as well.Ku: The reason propagation of Tengenism has been so explosive is all the war that's occurred.All of the universe-scale battles that have happened over the past few years due to Utsuro took people from many.They want to take back their lost families, friends, and loved ones.If there's anyone that can make those hopes come true, they'll embrace anyone.What drew them in was a belief in 'immortality'. The being called Utsuro.The impetus for it was that event two years ago.The incident where part of the Liberation Army rebelled under the veil of secrecy,and walked off with the captured Tendoushuu,the immortal blood of Utsuro.Page 17:Someone: That powercannot be allowed to remain.That bloodis not something that humans can handle.Do they intendfor it to repeat again?Do they intendto make Sensei keep suffering?Page 18:Taka: Am I not ableto save Sensei again?----Move.Move.Please, just give mea little time.I... can'tdrop dead just yet...SFX: DONPage 19:Taka: It's allor nothing.Lend me your strength,senior disciple.SFX: BADUMPTaka: For ourmaster.Insert: Even throwing away his humanity---!!Bottom: Gintama...Lesson 681/ End
