"Don't you know how pissed off the producer will be if you do something like that?" "!" "I made the column." "Kagura-chan?" "!" "Shinpachi?" "!" "but..." "This is the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon." "You said Armstrong twice!" "There's no way such an obscene cannon exists!" "You're in early adolescence and you always have dirty thoughts." "you immediately imagine something nasty." "You're really disgusting." "Don't talk to me for a while." "huh?" "too?" "Hasegawa-san." "Please stop them." "Those two are making something really... isn't that a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon?" "It's got a very high-quality finish." "What?" "!" "How do you know?" "!" "Does it really exist?" "Seriously?" "Am I the only one who doesn't know anything about it?" "!" "It was the Dog Star clan's ultimate weapon." "They used it to blow up Edo Castle Tower and force Japan to open up the country." "What?" "Our country was beaten with this ugly cannon?" "what are you doing here?" "I've created my own sculpture for the contest." "I heard the winner gets a big cash prize." "Wow!" "What's this?" "!" "but it looks great!" "it's nothing really." "so I couldn't stop..." "I call it "Flight." "Hasegawa-san?" "so it ended up looking like me." "This is too buff to be you." "Let me scrape some off around here." "what are you doing?" "!" "Give me a break!" "That's the only thing holding it up." "Is this bit true to life too?" "too." "No!" "You're not supposed to point out that part!" "what dirty things are you showing to our Kagura-chan?" "!" "Just a minute!" "It's art!" "You see things like this in art textbooks all the time!" "Bastard!" "Are you trying to get Gin Tama canceled?" "!" "Hey!" "Watch where you throw that snowball!" "Take that!" "DORK!" "It's stuck!" "Hey!" "How could you stick that dirty thing onto our masterpiece?" "!" "They're coming!" "Do something!" "[Flight (crossed out)]" "Lady."

"I'm sure the PTA would've complained." "Yours is a hundred times worse." "I just came up with a great idea." "Let's add some wings." "Wings." "that sounds great!" "How did you come up with such a great idea?" "but it just came to me." "too?" "Katsura-san..." "Oh?" "This is the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon." "It has a very high-quality finish." "how do you know?" "Another name for it is "Running Thunder." "It caused "The Seven Days of Fire" during the Balkans Campaign." "That's not the story I heard." "What are you doing here?" "I'm participating just for fun." "Wow!" "Great!" "It's like an amusement park!" "Something like this should be fun for children." "I hope you guys like it." "that's not the right way to play with it." "You mean this isn't for rock climbing?" "this is a slide." "Don't slide with those on!" "where're the stairs?" "fool!" "the slide is all scratched up." "I'll smooth it out." "You bastards!" "I know!" "You're trying to ruin my work so that you can win the grand prize!" "I won't let you win that easily!" "isn't it amazing?" "You must be a genius." "What made you think of attaching a slide to this?" "uh-huh." "inspiration." "Gin-san." "What a surprise to see you here." "I swear I had no idea you were here." "It's not like I was following you or anything." "It's just..." "Nobody asked you..." "Huh?" "This is a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon." "It's got a very high-quality finish." "How do you even know that?" "You can't even see it's original shape anymore. and has been long since abandoned in a storehouse." "I don't care!" "That story's crap!" "too?" "it's nothing really... really?" "I see something that has your name all over it." "Don't get me wrong." "Th-That's not Gin-san." "Um..." "I'm not violating Shueisha's or any publisher's copyrights or anything." "Its legs are far too long." "Gin-chan's are shorter." "It's a glorification of him." "that's about right." "Great." "It looks exactly like me." "I bet this will win the grand prize." "I can't possibly destroy it." "Eh?" "Really?" "Are you giving me a compliment?" "I just said what I thought." "Why are his arms positioned out like that?" "that is..." "For this...and now it's complete." "What are you doing?" "Gin-san's arms!" "Fix them quickly!" "Hurry!" "my glasses..." "I'll put them right back on!" "What... you dirty old geezer!" "Why me?" "!" "Gin-san." "Sorry." "what are you doing here?" "the store I work at is entered in the competition." "Oh?" "This is a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon." "too." "No!" "It looks nothing like it did before!" "It looks so stupid." "And there's nothing we can do with this Armstrong." "What?" "What the heck is an Armstrong Cannon?" "!" "Shin-chan?" "We worked really hard on it." "See?" "Isn't it great?" "What kind of work did the Odd Jobs do?" "Huh?" "Well..." "Um..." "I'm too embarrassed to say." "What did we do?" "!" "anyway?" "That's just porn." "Ah." "The truth at last." "or even a prize for participating." "before we publicly humiliate ourselves." "Huh?" "Where are you going?" "Don't you want to stay just a little longer to enjoy our snow statue?" "What's that?" "!" "There's something weird on the snow statue!" "Who cares about the grand prize!" "no one can!" "anyway." "Into oblivion!" "There's the pervert!" "they'd just destroy it again!" "I don't want the slide anymore!" "I wish all the slides in the world would collapse!" "my!" "Everybody is fighting!" "What a mess!" "Otae?" "We'd better give up on winning." "Otae?" "what are you doing?" "Give me a break!" "No way will I give up!" "I'll win!" "We promised to share the 100 cups of Bäagen-Dash!" "Bäagen-Dash?" "The winner gets 100 cups of ice cream?" "you've got to be kidding." "I worked so hard on a cold day because I thought we would get a cash prize." "granny!" "You tricked me!" "How dare you treat us like fools!" "what's everybody doing?" "Is this a snowball fight competition?" "Nope..." "It's a festival." "You see that?" "!" "You see that?" "!" "I made those fireworks!" "It's a tiny bit lopsided..." "Quit nitpicking!" "Fireworks sparkling in the summer sky..." "Like a flower that blooms and disappears in an instant." "too?" "["Eating Ice Cream in Winter Is Awesome"]" "hey!" "What's this?" "!" "This looks like snails." "Is this some kind of punishment?" "This may be...escargot or whatever you call it." "It's a delicacy..." "I think." "And very expensive." "Really?" "Hey!" "That means this job's gonna be great!" "if they start feeding us all this fancy food..." "Idiot!" "Don't flip out too much." "They're testing us." "To see if we're classy enough." "isn't he?" "You're right." "What?" "But... what are we supposed to do with this snail thing?" "It's a plate!" "I think we put food on top like this then eat it." "Plate..." "But it's already on the plate." "right?" "It's classy." "You guys are real hicks." "Watch how I use it." "Excuse me." "please." "I see." "We use it to call the butler." "That's why it's disk-shaped." "please?" "I don't think that's right." "it is." "Because he stopped smirking." "Wait?" "Is he crying?" "Who's that guy?" "What?" "Some mollusk demon?" "He's got a snail on his head." "Huh?" "Is that what we're supposed to do with it?" "Wear it?" "Mr. Odd Jobs." "My mother is feeling ill and I..." "What are you guys doing?" "!" "I'm sorry." "We're not used to this kind of thing..." "I'm glad to see you're getting along so well with my father." "Huh?" "Father?" "he's my father." "The reason I called you over here is to take care of him." "You escargot old fart!" "Quit poaching my... eh?" "!" "my father hasn't been himself for some time now... he was the greatest pyrotechnist in Edo." "A master of fireworks! something strange came over him." "Junk Board Wandam." "You're hairy today." "[Note: word play on Gundam robots]" "[Note:" "Kuso means crap]" "Hmm..." "He's Janno Kuso Gundam." "It's a pretty name." "so JUMP covered in crap.]" "no." "JUMP Kuso Mamire." "He sometimes wanders around at night and leaves home for a couple of days." "He's getting to be a handful..." "Hmm..." "Kuso mamire." "It's a pretty name." "Right." "It's Michael J. Dogs." "They seem to be getting along well." "y'know?" "Old ladies do fine after their husbands die." "he usually just comes apart." "But his wife isn't dead yet." "so she's been bedridden. now he's behaving like that." "I bet he loved fireworks." "I feel really sorry for the old man." "Old fart!" "What are you doing?" "!" "He said he's going to meet his lover." "No way!" "He's already got one!" "Get him down before he escapes!" "Get out of the way!" "There!" "You've gotta be more careful." "wasn't that a bit much?" "I thought we were supposed to take care of him... not kill him." "Ah!" "He hasn't given up yet!" "What?" "!" "Why the heck is he so energetic?" "I thought this guy was old!" "Hey!" "You're destroying the house!" "There!" "please stop this." "Mom is really sick!" "Can't you tell the good from the bad in these situations?" "!" "too." "Don't worry about it." "You fought well." "old fart!" "Mom is going to the hospital." "She's gotten a lot worse." "We can't take care of her at home anymore." "Then he won't be with his wife at all." "Father..." "Don't you have anything to say?" "I'm going out to see my lover." "Good grief..." "I wonder if he even remembers mother at all." "Excuse me." "Please let him be." "I'm the one who made him this way." "I took away his fireworks..." "So please..." "Let him make his own choices." "He's done enough for me." "He gave up the fireworks career he loved and worked very hard to take care of me." "But I can't stand to see him miserable because he can't do what he loves anymore." "I don't mind if he forgets about me..." "His mind was filled with fireworks from the start anyways." "There is no place for me in his life now." "And that's the man I fell in love with." "Mom... so this is the place he hides his lover." "That's right." "Sakata-san." "Butler..." "So how do you come to be here?" "hey!" "Isn't the old man just a bit too energetic?" "What kind of position is he trying?" "that was a failure!" "There..." "Fireworks..." "Just as I thought..." "Butler?" "Quite a long time... huh?" "but not his fireworks." "Fireworks are his life." "They are part of his soul." "his great skills do not." "but Master is an artisan." "And it's always made him less of a family man..." "Please..." "leave him alone." "Let him die as an artist." "but the great skills he learned still burn strong?" "That's a sad story." "I think humans are better than that." "you still retain it in your heart." "they are still deeply entrenched in your heart." "That's what I believe." "Hey!" "Did you see that?" "Did you?" "Shut up!" "Of course I saw it!" "Why do I have to watch fireworks on such a cold day?" "!" "Fireworks in winter are special and so dazzling!" "all right?" "I don't care about your new fireworks... why do I have to come and watch your test fireworks? but he misspelled a word and it said "Come be my mound." "My goodness!" "Father hasn't changed a bit." "So true..." "Mom?" "I'm all right." "Right... that was 58 years ago today..." "I wonder if he still remembers..." "I don't suppose he could..." "I'll light up the sky for you!" "Such a liar." "That was the only time he ever did it." "you said that people and fireworks bloom like beautiful flowers for an instant and then fade away." "That may be true." "I want you to bloom by my side." "And when you fade away...do so at my side." "I will make beautiful flowers bloom by your side again and again." "look over there!" "Fireworks!" "At this time of the year!" "It's so beautiful..." "Someone set off fireworks in winter." "There's a person who knows the very best." "Yes indeed." "but... it's so beautiful." "Gin-chan!" "Look!" "Look!" "Wow!" "So beautiful!" "Are there any fireworks festivals scheduled today?" "are you watching?" "12)}[Preview]" "My name is Katsura." "who travels to all the ramen shops in Japan." "I've fallen in love with your ramen."
