Gintoki quotes from Gin Tama

Gintoki

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi! You’re not here to challenge me, are you? That’s not just stupid, but arrogant too. I burp at your insolence. [burps]

Kagura

If you’re gonna do it, give it your all. Burp so hard that you may never be able to burp again! [burps]

Shinpachi

I’m not so soft as to be defeated by such a pitiful enemy. This contest isn’t about burping as much as the will to burp. [burps]

Quit your burping and get on with it!

Shinpachi

[voiceover] Hello everyone. I’m Shimura Shinpachi. The leaves have come in since we last met, haven’t they? By the way, there’s actually a long story behind our glaring at each other like this.

Kagura

[voiceover] All right, I’m next. Well everyone, the battle to decide the fate of the universe is finally underway! I don’t know the details, but it really comes as a surprise!

Gintoki

What the heck is this? I can hear what you’re thinking! Do you hope to get sympathy by feigning insanity?

Shinpachi

[voiceover] Leave me alone. This is a part of my plan.

Kagura

[voiceover] Feigning insanity? How rude. I’m not feigning anything!

Gintoki

[voiceover] This anime is already hard enough for kids to understand. If you keep this up, we’ll lose our time slot! So Gintoki screamed in his mind…

Shinpachi

[voiceover] Screamed? Hey, don’t copy me, Gin-san.

Gintoki

[voiceover] Cretin. Do you think such tomfoolery will affect me?

Shinpachi

What are you doing, Kagura-chan? This is rock, paper, scissors! You don’t hit anyone!

Kagura

The first blow decides the match!

Shinpachi

But it’s rock, paper, scissors!

Gintoki

[getting up] Fine then. If you’re willing to go at it, then so am I! [draws his bokuto]

Shinpachi

I’m telling you, it’s rock, paper, scissors!!

Gintoki

Rock, paper, scissors!

Shinpachi

[to Kagura] You’re doing shadow puppets? What the hell is that?

Kagura

Can’t you see? It’s a crab. A crab.

Gintoki

[has finger puppets] Well, this is better than last time…Your rock can’t stand up to my family here.

Shinpachi

What family is that?!

Gintoki

[moving the dad puppet] You should just admit defeat!

Shinpachi

Goddamn it, it’s rock, paper, scissors!

Kagura

You lose, Shinpachi. Work hard now.

Shinpachi

Why do I lose?

All right, he wins.

Gintoki

[in English] Victory.

Shinpachi

Eeeeeh??

Kagura

See you, loser. Work hard, now.

Gintoki

That’s right, Shinpachi. The client is God. Do whatever he says…Hey, what’s going on?

What do you mean? The winner gets the privilege of working for me.

Gintoki

[feebly] Oh, that’s not right…

Gintoki

Come on, don’t you know that you have to treat your workers with respect?

Yeah, all right, I respect you. Now then, get to work.

You lump, you have to put your heart and soul into every swing!

Gintoki

Sure, I’ll put my heart and soul into bashing your head in, baldy!

What was that, ingrate? Get off your high horse, perm boy!

Gintoki

Hey, watch out, man.

Hijikata

You could’ve killed me!

Gintoki

Well, I told you to look out…

Hijikata

You practically mumbled it!

Gintoki

Keep it down. I don’t need any more tension on this job, especially from the likes of you.

Gintoki

Hey, you’re that gorilla’s friend? [looks at the sword Hijikata has given him] But hey, what’s up with this thing? [Hijikata sends him flying over the roof] What are you doing?

Hijikata

He may be a gorilla, but to us he’s our precious commander!

Hey, Gin-san, if you just play around, I won’t pay you a dime!

Gintoki

[cut in the shoulder] Shut up, baldy, and call the police! The police!!

Hijikata

I am the police.

Gintoki

Well then, help me, will you?

Hijikata

I suppose I should. [thinking] He’s an odd one indeed…

Gintoki

That’s all then. Hey baldy, I’m going to the hospital!

Hijikata

Wait! Do you pity me?

Gintoki

Pity? If I had enough of that to give to you, then I’d put it over rice for dinner.

Gintoki

One fights to protect something, like you fought me to protect the Shinsengumi.

Hijikata

Protect? So what are you protecting?

Gintoki

My honor. See ya.

Teach us, Ginpachi sensei!

Gintoki

Um, this is a question from a Mr. Oonishi, from the second floor. ‘I noticed something strange the other day. Shinpachi-kun said that the “purge” was a movement that happened twenty years ago to drive amanto off earth. So, no matter how you cut it, Gin-san and Katsura-san have to be more than thirty years old. Is that true?’ Uh, ok now. Pay attention now, cuz this is gonna be on the test. The war of expulsion didn’t end in just a year or two, you see. When the war started twenty years ago, Gin-san was still just a hairless baby. The shogunate, afraid of the aliens, surrendered right away, but the samurai still resisted. It was around this time that Gin-san got a different kind of hair. When the amanto had infiltrated the entire government and were running roughshod over the whole nation, Gin-san finally entered the fight! Well, in a manner of speaking…So, that’s how the war of expulsion, lasting ten full years, happened. Gin-san and his friends only really participated in the very end of it. Oh, and Oonishi, go stand in the hall!

Shinpachi

Gin-san, Gin-san, it’s an emergency!

Gintoki

What’s up, four-eyes?

Shinpachi

That stalker who was following my sister around was actually Shinsengumi Commander Kondo Isao!

Gintoki

Yeah, I heard.

Shinpachi

You did? From whom?

Gintoki

Oogushi-kun.

Shinpachi

Oogushi-kun?

Gintoki

Yep, Oogushi-kun.
