Sakurai-san had been busy lately, with a new game, re-watching Persona 4 the Animation and...ASSIGNMENTS! Bear-y Dreadful Assignments!
Apologies for the little updates these days; it's been a bear-y bear-y busy period...please bear with it.
KUMA!
Gintoki and the Leukocyte King stops arguing when a single missile is being fired at their direction which almost blew them off their feet. A pair of strawberry blondes came into sight and one of them is wearing a pair of sunglasses; also, she has a white rocket launcher in her hands and she looks visibly disappointed. The other one looked pretty bored by the sight.
"Wasn't your data corrupted?"
"What is Lady doing her and what the heck happened to my Kasuga-chan?!" Gintoki snaps when he saw the white version of Lady Phagocyte. Well, half of her ample bosom is still out for the public to see so Gintoki stopped when he took note of it.
The original Takizawa Tsubasa pales in comparison to her copy with that washboard chest. He is sure that she might have washboard abs but that chest is making things real bad. It is also making things worse for Gintoki who is starting to suspect that he is attracted to the washboard abs and chest Tsubasa.
"Her name is Lady*; Phagocyte is her family name which Tama-sama had given her." Leukocyte King told him.
"WHAT?! I thought she is supposed to be a parody version of Lady Lora?!"
"I'm sorry to burst you bubble, I have different program settings from them because my main component was downloaded online. My programmer happens to like the Devil May Cry franchise. Tama-sama had modified my program to model me after her." She points at Tsubasa.
"This is why Lady Phagocyte's clan was wiped out; Tama-sama was searching online for a way to re-write the DMC* version into Dragon Quest to make it less obnoxious but there was a latent viral code in the file. In the process of getting rid of the obnoxious DMC parts, Tama-sama had activated the Baku virus and the entire file was corrupted save for Lady Phagocyte who has Tsu-level immunity to the Baku." The Leukocyte King explains.
Gintoki turns to Tsubasa when he hears this and pokes the side of her head hard.
"You are a viral Tsu." That comment earned him a kick in his shins.
"By the way, what the hell is going on? We had ramen and cake before coming over and I was expecting the problem to be rectified by the time we reach."
"Tsubasa-san that was the sloppiest way any fanfiction author had ever attempted to skip one chunk of the manga chapter. Is it bad writing or Sakurai-san's really bad characterization?" Shinpachi tells her.
"My previous statement was a reflection of how sloppy society has become to have lazy and sloppy main characters to expect everything to be resolved or by other people while I claim credit for others' hard work. That was not bad writing or characterization, which was some deep shit, megane." She says while digging her left eat with her pinky.
"Sasa, I don't understand what you said-aru." Kagura frowns. "I don't think the audience got what you said too-aru."
"What deep shit? You sound more like a dipshit to me." Gintoki tells her.
"Ok, fine, fine. It was bad characterization." She rolls her eyes while shrugging; oh the desperate attempts by Sakurai-san to be deep. "Let's go settle the problem now, Kagura-chan."
"I was waiting for that-aru. We'll create a distraction while you guys sneak in."
"Adios!" Lady Phagocyte smiles to them while following Kagura and Tsubasa.
With that statement, Kagura, Lady Phagocyte and Tsubasa leaps off the platform and down to the Baku army.
"The girl and women have hearts of heroes compared to us. That makes us look real bad." Shinpachi tells the men off while watching the trio kick ass from far.
Gintoki and the Leukocyte King had yet to break off from their argument; in fact, the arrival of Lady Leukocyte and her change of outfit had sparked off another argument between the men. The argument between Gintoki and his clone escalated into a fight between them eventually.
While they had their light and dark attacks colliding against each other, it almost hits Tsubasa and her clone when they were working to clear off the Baku. The women chose to ignore them until one of the attacks almost hits Kagura in her head. Shinpachi watches in gloom as it became a three-way brawl in the middle of the Baku Army. It was odd though, Tsubasa and her clone got along relatively well in comparison to Gintoki and the Leukocyte King.
Gintoki was about to tell the Leukocyte King off when a blue sphere was hurled at his direction.
It took him several minutes to register what had happened.
"OI! WAS THAT A RASENGAN?!" Gintoki bellows at the pair of blonde women.
"Huh?" Lady Phagocyte completely ignored the Leukocyte King and fires another rasengan using Akai Akane at him. The move was dodged by him narrowly and he almost lost his footing while doing so.
"WOMAN! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!"
"Not woman, it's Lady."*
"Don't pull another Zura on me!" Gintoki wonders what in the world went wrong with his romantic interest's clone.
No, he means what in the world went wrong with that blonde's clone.
"That's not the point, Lady-san; is rasengan even a move in the Devil May Cry?" Shinpachi tells her off.
"Shinpachi, you haven't saw what Sasa is doing-aru." Kagura tells the teen who turns to look at Tsubasa.
She is holding what it seems to be a gun at her temple* and pulls the trigger. Gintoki and Shinpachi thought she was going to die when she pulled that move off but they heard the sound of something shattering*. On top of the gun, Gintoki notices that she is wearing a pair of glasses*.
He was expecting a card to be floating around somewhere in front of her.*
The lady glows blue and a figure appears behind her.
Gintoki and Shinpachi gulps in anticipation when it gets clearer.
Both of their jaws drop when they saw the fully-materialized figure behind Tsubasa. There are so many things that Shinpachi wanted to tell her off for this stupid act but he had kind of decided to stop. He will run out of breath before he tells her off.
"This represents my social link with Kagura-chan, let's go now, SUSANOO!"
"Gin-san, whatever happened to the part whereby it is completely impossible for Tsubasa-san to get her hands on the Totsuka Sword*?"
"I was expecting a dude in a jumper and a pair goggles.*" Gintoki tells Shinpachi when they saw Susanoo.
The Susanoo which Gintoki recognizes it as Uchiha Itachi's starts slicing off the Baku viruses at such speed that he is starting to think that he needs to cut down the amount of Naruto this woman reads. This is getting too Tsu but he could not help to wonder about this: if Kagura and Tsubasa's bond is summoning a Susanoo as her persona, what about his bond with her?
The Susanoo fades off and Tsubasa looks rather energetic. In fact, she looks pretty pumped-up to kill off so much of the Baku's Army. Then, she raises the gun once more and the pair held their breath. It must be something awesome coming up.
"And this is my social link with that tenpaa." She sighs a little. A Chibi Gintoki starts skipping in his mind when he heard that.
"Patsusan, you heard that? It's mine! If Kagura is Susanoo, I can pretty much get a Juubi or a Kyuubi neh?"
"Gin-san, don't get your hopes too high." It is a fact that Takizawa Tsubasa does not like Sakata Gintoki in the way Sakata Gintoki likes her.
It is just too obvious at the moment that she is not intending to hook up with a certain tenpaa.
"Gin-chan, you are not that close with Sasa-aru."
Then the 'persona' appears.
"MARA!"*
The Leukocyte King and Gintoki turns green when they saw that phallic abomination; just how the hell had Tsubasa been looking at him?! Some kind of disgusting jerk?!
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
*Parody of a Devil May Cry character who is known as lady; her debut was in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and she appears in Devil May Cry 4. The costume Lady Phagocyte is wearing at the moment is Lady's costume in Devil May Cry 4.
*Is Sakurai-san the only person around here who dislikes the latest release of the Devil May Cry? DMC? With the black-haired Dante? Dante shall be a Ginpatsu forever! Pure Ginpatsu! Sakurai-san wants that flippant Dante back!
*Follows the same pattern as 'Not Zura, it's Katsura.'.
*Cue to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Persona 3 Portable players. The characters in this installment actually uses 'Evokers' which looks like guns to summon their Persona.
*Characters in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 wears glasses to help them see through the fog in the Midnight Channel.
*Inside of shooting themselves with a 'gun', the characters in Persona 4 summons their personas by crushing/kicking/punching their tarot cards which hovers in front of them.
*Refer to the previous chapter.
*Gintoki is talking about Hanamura Yousuke's persona in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4; Susanoo.
*Just Google Persona, Mara. You will know what Sakurai-san is saying. XD
