Draw characters that you can tell apart just by looking at their silhouettes.

What the hell is happening to "Ble*ch" these days?

I can understand wanting to follow-through with character development; that's one of the strongest tools in a manga author's arsenal. But when you start feeling like these aren't the same characters that we met a few years back, then I ask you, what is the point? Manga is manga. Jump is Jump. When you give characters' their power-ups, don't blow your whole wad and leave the readers confused and feeling cheated, ya bastard.

Also, didn't this story have a main character? Suspense is important, but pretty soon it'll get to be so bad that when he shows up again, everyone's reaction will be "Eh? New character?" How sad is he gonna be when that happens, eh?! Shit. Not only that, but we're running out of bad guys for him to beat up, aren't we? I know that A*zen is strong and everything, but if it takes an entire arc for that fight, I'm quitting Jump, I'm dead serious. I can't put up with that kind of shit! Who would?! It's disgraceful!

That said, I hope that the prize for stealing the Delong Star Ruby is good. I'm chaffing in this all-black spy outfit, and The Boys are going to be a different color once I check them in the toilet, I just know it, I am not even joking around here.

Okay, calm down. Nothing's getting stolen as long as you keep getting upset like this. Slow and steady...

*infiltrates the museum, and is ninja-ing his way to steal the ruby*

Seriously, though. What the hell, Ble*ch.

Something was definitely wrong. The night was cool and quiet, and my delinquent senses were tingling like a tongue on a 9-Volt Battery. I wasn't sure How or when, But I knew that somewhere, somehow, in some way, something bad was going down, and I was supposed to stop it.

I decided to check out the Museum. In every detective movie it was the museum being infiltrated by some mysterious mastermind, so chances are, someone was trying to steal something fancy. I looked around, but the place was as empty as a hobo's pocket.... A specific Hobo in fact.

One Gintoki Sakata came to mind as I walked, thinking up new analogies to use in my monologues, and upon discovering a Weekly Jump magazine on the ground, I knew exactly what was going down.

Someone as poor and out of work as him would stoop to anything to get some easy cash, But today, the cash wasn't going to be very easy at all.... it would be... hard...

Damn, I need more analogies!

Of all the low-down, low-lives to come through that dark museum hallway, it had to be HER.

SHI-- WHA-- OY. GET OUT OF HERE, I'M BREAKING THE LAW. said Ninja Gin-san in a husky, manly voice.

Where there is Raspberyl, Asuka is not always far

Don't you think breaking the law is a tad rude and honor-student-ish?

Just as I had suspected, where there is jump, there is Gintoki, and as usual, he tried to use his man voice to try and frighten away the law. Though it was intimidating to a certain extent, it wouldn't be enough to deter me from my goal of taking him down.

Yeah! This is a top of the line honor student activity! We can't let you steal whatever it is you may be here to steal!!

Little did any perpetrators know, but me, in my great ninja wisdom (and the fact Elizabeth made her announcement completely publicly), determined someone would take the...whatever it was. A ruby? Some fancy ruby.

...Aaaactually, I thought about taking it, but changed my mind. I was supposed to be the LAW. So, after playing with the ruby a bit and checking it out, I laid a bunch of traps out around the treasure. Smoke traps, fire traps, slip traps--if you can think of a type of trap, I laid it out.

It was actually a big pain for me to get out afterwards.
