  Chapter 123. Where is the Time Mae?

  ---

  "You're back, and quite quickly too."

  Seeing that Caesar followed closely behind Gintoki as they returo the set, Akiyuki Shinbo was surprised. He discreetly approached Caesar and whispered, "So, did you mao sort it out?"

  As he spoke, Shinbo poio Gintoki, who had already put on the full-dive helmet and was ready to ehe script world for filming.

  Yes, just as Gintoki realized at the st moment why Caesar had fought with him, the one whed for Caesar to do so was her than the director, Akiyuki Shinbo.

  After all, Shinbo had been keeping an eye on the forum discussions about "Battle Tendency." While he didn't dwell too mu them, it was clear that he wasn't pletely ignorant of the audience's opinions.

  But e on... it was hardly a reason to despair, right?

  Because Joseph had exhausted much of his energy in his one-on-one fight with Wamuu, leaving him barely able to summon any Hamon?

  Because Kars held the Super Aja Red Stone, making Joseph's pn to dey until m to use the sun's power to wipe out the vampires and Pilr Men pletely unfeasible?

  Because Kars, who had never po fight alone, immediately sent out hundreds of vampires after obtaining the Super Aja Red Stone, aiming to wear Joseph dorevent any possible terattack?

  Because Kars, having deliberately left Lisa Lisa alive, had Joseph in check, making it impossible for him to act freely?

  If these reasons alone led someoo despair, then that person clearly hadn't seen the full script of "Battle Tendency!"

  For someone like Shinbo, who had read the full script of "Battle Tendency" in advahinking of surre the first sign of trouble would make the entire produ pointless.

  Moreover, Kars had his army of vampires doing his bidding, yes. But Joseph wasn't aloher.

  Both the SPW Foundation, represented by Speedwagon, and the German military, represented by Stroheim, were fully aware of the Pilr Men's threat and their strength. Whether it was because of Speedwagon's fateful e to the Stone Masks from decades ago, or simply out of admiration for Jonathan's noble spirit, which led him to i Jonathan's destiny...

  Or whether it was the Germans' racial ideology, normally obnoxious, but in this case, resolutely opposed to anyone being more powerful than the Aryans, fueling their determination to elimihe Pilr Men.

  All of this ehat Joseph wasn't fighting alone. He had the support of aire unit, equipped with powerful UV lights desigo kill vampires and weaken the Pilr Men.

  This was how Joseph mao escape from the vampire army and face Kars one-on-one again.

  One unfavorable dition had been resolved. Naturally, the others would be dealt with too.

  Though Joseph might be exhausted, uo even summon Hamon to defeat a single vampire, pared to Jonathan in the finale of "Phantom Blood," who couldn't evehe and had to burn through his life formon Hamon, Joseph was still in a much better position.

  As long as he stored up his Hamon through steady breathing and focused it all into one powerful strike, even Kars, a Pilr Man, would be in serious trouble.

  As for how to attack a Kars holding a hostage...

  Given that Kars cked Wamuu's warrior's code and wasn't as sharp as Esidisi, who couldn't evehrough Lisa Lisa's bluff before the duel began, it's clear that Kars was more of a stist with little to no sense of human ing.

  So if anyone was doomed to lose, it was never Joseph with his ericks but the ignorant Kars.

  A simple distra teique that might not even fool Wamuu would be enough for Joseph to easily take down Kars and rescue Lisa Lisa.

  However, this also marked the most critical moment. The Super Aja Red Stone hadn't been recovered by Joseph and was getting further and further away from him as Kars fell from the temple...

  This was why Shinbo, who had remained calm earlier, was now more anxious than ever, even more so than when filming Joseph's duel with Wamuu.

  He had even sought out Caesar specifically to sel Gintoki, who clearly had lost fideer learning about the Ultimate Lifeform.

  The description of the Ultimate Lifeform boiled down to just two words—invincible! The Ultimate Lifeform iruest sense.

  "Well, it should be sorted out."

  After a moment's thought, Caesar replied to Shinbo's s.

  "What do you mean, 'should be'?!"

  But clearly, Shinbo wasn't satisfied with this answer.

  "Caesar, this is no joke! You've read the description of the Ultimate Lifeform too, haven't you?"

  Shinbo spoke early, "Even though Director Pucci wrote a way to defeat the Ultimate Lifeform into the script, ohe actors ehe script world, their performance depeirely on their subscious!"

  "Otherwise, even if we help Gintoki cheat from the outside and create ditions to defeat Kars, it's all useless if he doesn't have the ce to face Kars!"

  It's just like how in exams, sometimes students fet how to solve a problem during the test but remember right after handing in their papers.

  Full-dive filming isn't just about memorizing the script perfectly before filming begins. It offers the most authentisory experience for the audiend the actors alike, leading to the most genuine choices.

  "That's exactly why I said 'should be,' Director Shinbo."

  Caesar responded, "After all, as someone who's not even a full member of the crew, I 't guarahat there won't be any ued occurrences during filming, I?"

  "Uh...?"

  "But if you're asking about Gintoki's current state, I'd say he's 1000% fident!"

  Caesar gave a thumbs up with a smile.

  "Ahhhhh! Why did I try to act cool just now?!"

  "Why didn't I just admit I 't do it?!"

  "I don't even know how to perform a Kamehameha, how I possibly deal with an Ultimate Lifeform like Cell?!"

  "This is bad, really bad..."

  These were Gintoki's st thoughts as he dohe full-dive helmet, his sciousness slowly diving in the script world.

  "I o find the time mae, and fast!!"
