[VIDEO/ACTION] Fourth Walls Are Only Fun When You Get to Break Them Down
VIDEO
[ A caption, at the very top of the screen: When watching Gintama, keep the room lit and sit away from the screen yoooooooooooooo.
The camera zooms out and focuses on this particular cover of Weekly Shounen JUMP, which is being held by a manly hand. It is not clear who the owner of that hand is until the journal is turned and set down, to reveal that its owner in fact possesses the same face as the man on the cover(s).
Gintoki looks a quite smug, with some sort of strange grin on his face. ]
Ha! I knew I’d find it!
[ He holds up the copy of JUMP, right next to his head, and then slowly the smile that had been on his face turns into a flat line as he pauses for a moment to clear his throat.]
Oi, you JUMP bastards. [ He points at the screen. ] You better not continue pretending that Gin-san isn’t an important character! See? [ Waves the cover around. ] I’m on the front cover! The front cover, oi! You know who goes on the front cover of JUMP? THE MAIN CHARACTER!
[ Nevermind the fact that Zoro and Reborn and other side characters are on the cover, too. They’re not as important, clearly, because Gintoki’s face gets to be on the cover THREE TIMES. He makes sure to point his finger at the tiny Naruto. ]
See!?!? SEE?! I’m not makin’ this shit up. It’s time you guys stop treating us like a second-class manga and show some respect!
[ Until an admonishing “tsk" comes from off to the side. Kagura leans in, squeezing herself into the line of the camera, holding her own copy of Jump. ]
Gin-chan, no one cares anymore who is on the cover aru. What is important is the action or feeling in the manga itself. You have captured the essence of a main character here aru.
[ At which point, she’ll shove this page in front of the camera, trying to hide a smirk. ]
OI!
[ KAGURAAA YOU STINKIN’ BRAAAAAAAAT. Gin-san isn’t gonna let you live this down! Almost immediately a hand comes out and snatches the entire book out of the camera’s reach, knocking the video off in the process when a sword in the ass slams into the journal, and everything goes dark. ]
ACTION
[ It comes as no small surprise that when a sudden mass influx of people begin arriving in Luceti, Yorozuya Gin-chan is prepared. They have prepared a booth in the middle of town square, right next to the fountain, with a couple of tables and a big banner above that reads:
Another sign reads: BATTLE THE GREAT MONSTER GURA AND WIN A PRIZE
On the table next to the one Kagura is sitting behind is an array of different prizes, all lovingly labeled:
1 Magical Egg - Will Give You Wings! (Another Pair) Also Bankai
1 Magical Pudding - Cures Future Hemorrhoids & Bestows the Power of Rasengan
1 Magical Alien Shoe - Grants the Power of Super Saiyan & Another Bankai
12 Random Shounen JUMP Issues - Grants the Power of the Future if You Are From An Earlier Timepoint
1 Set of Gintama DVDS, All 6 Seasons, With Covers Lovingly Hand-Drawn By the Main Characters (There is a Poop-Shaped Drawing With Stink Lines on the Front)
1 Cursed Video Tape - Curses Your Enemy for All Eternity. Or Seven Days.
Gintoki struts about in front of the table, wearing a circus ringleader’s costume, complete with a top hat, waving a magician’s baton, because clearly that’s the way things should be. ]
Come one, come all! Challenge the Great Monster Gura and win a prize!! Place your bets now, ladies and gents!
[ He’s trying his best to sound like one of those announcer-types.
Your character has the option of entering the following competitions: arm wrestling; food eating; high striker; or kick the can. ]

Was that a sword in your...
[She doesn't even want to say it. It's just too awful for her to imagine. Why would someone do that to a sword (and why was the sword talking for that matter but details).]
...
[Video]
N-no, you must be mistaken, Ojou-chan! Why would there be a sword there, huh? That's not somewhere you put a sword...
[ Wait, how does he know what she's talking about. ]
[Video]
[Is she quivering a bit? Of course she is, the thought that it would be stuck somewhere so... So... It's just sickening! Even in the middle of combat who would do that!?]
[Video]
[Video]
[And there it is. One can almost hear the SNAP of Adela's temper as she draws a sword of her own.]
Who in their mind would DO such a thing to such a beautiful sword! 'tis a crime against the maker and the ore used in it! I will find the person responsible and slice them to ribbons if I must, then use their remains as chumming for the sharks!

So you get off more on those kind of swords, huh.
no subject
What do you mean?
['Get off'? Was this more slang that she had not heard before?]
no subject
no subject
[Yeah he's completely losing her. She doesn't understand at all. Blasting off? Earthlings? Just what in the world is he talking about?]
no subject
You know, the things guys always want to do before you can get 'em to the alter and lock them down aru.
no subject
... I do not understand your meaning.

I-I... What... What does... that have to do with swords!?

When a man and a woman fall in love aru, they decide to make a baby. When the woman is ready, the man gets his sword and stabs it straight into the woman's belly. The woman dies a tragic death, but her blood runs down the sword and drips on the ground. A plant blooms there, and the baby comes from this plant aru.

[Oh Nehra why is she having this conversation she's starting to feel faint.]
no subject
Ne, Kagura, it looks like we've found a cherry girl that doesn't know how babies are made.
That moment when I regret this being 4th wall
I DO KNOW! And it does not involve stabbing of any kind! And I am not a cherry girl!
