Wait! Stop!
Stop, I said!
Himeko! It went outside!
Over to you!
On it!
Tch! Where'd that perverted monkey go?!
Got him!
Thank you. I'm sorry to always be a bother...
Don't worry about it. It was a piece of cake.
If you're ever in a pinch again, come back and see us.
I will! Yabye-bye!
In the few short months since we formed Sket-dan,
we've taken root as the academy's odd jobbers... er, that is, helpers.
Yeah.
But when it's peaceful like this,
I wish we'd have a little more excitement around here once in a while.
What the hell is this smoke?!
G-Gin-san?! And...
Pa-tsuan and Kagura-chan too?!
What are the members of Gintama doing here?!
Who are these little dicks?
Oh! I've seen them before!
It's the Sket-dan!
Scatman? What's that?
Haven't you heard of them before, Gin-chan?
They go around picking up girls in Harajuku and end up living off of them.
That's called a "scoutman"! It has nothing to do with us!
You've got it wrong, Gin-san.
It's Sket Dance.
Oh, Sket Dance.
I know what you're talking about.
That's the show they call a poor man's Gintama.
Excuse me?!
Oh, I've always wanted to come and see the poor man's Odd Jobs.
Wait a second! What'd you just say?!
Sure, Shinohara-sensei, the original manga author,
used to be an assistant on Gintama, but...
In fact, hey! Why'd you suddenly show up here in a puff of smoke?!
What's this about?!
Shouldn't that be obvious?
It's a crossover.
A crossover?!
Please.
We're both 6 PM Jump shows.
We should work together to make this fun.
Hell!
Why are you complaining now?!
You're the ones ran roughshod over our turf!
Wham, bam, thank you, Gintama?!
Oh, come off of it! Unlike you jerks, we handle things tastefully here!
Stop griping about the details.
Let's see...
A trio of odd jobbers?
I see. That's why they say you're Gintama in a school setting.
Talk about lack of motivation...
I-I understand the situation. But how did you end up in our world?
This. This here.
Old Gengai made a dimensional transporter and needed some guinea pigs, and look at us now.
I get it. Next thing you know, you were sent flying over here.
I don't like this rabbit pen.
Smells like piss.
Now, don't complain.
You'll get used to it.
Oof.
Odd Jobs Gin-chan
What the hell are you doing?!
These terrorists think they've got the run of the place!
Th-This is bad... At this rate, Gintama will take over our show!
Uh, shouldn't we cut to the opening?
It's already been three minutes and thirty seconds.
I know!
This is our turf! And I'd thank you to not try and control it.
Let's do the title call! This anime is...
All together! Sket Dan
su!
What'd I just say?!
Episode 26: Spirit Dance
Now that we're settled in, this is kind of weird.
Something feels off.
Oh, well. Why not have some tea while Switch tries to fix your machine?
Huh?
So you're Bossun?
W-What's wrong, Bossun?
Are you moved at Gin-san saying your name?
He got the intonation of "Bossun" wrong...
"Bossun" is pronounced "Bossun", not "Bossun"!
Er, I believe that gag's from the manga, but...
Gin-san, did you do that on purpose?
On our side of the crossover, you pronounced his name right.
Hey, Shinpachi. Get with the program.
You too! You don't throw out retorts willy-nilly!
Huh?
Don't you understand the concept of staying true to the original?
Gin-chan was helping you guys by playing along.
Since we aired first and stole your thunder.
I was trying to make amends.
Thankyakindly!
G-Got it. Beg your pardon.
Let's try this again then.
Y-You're doing it wrong, Gin-san!
Gin-san, you don't watch our show, do you?!
N-No, I've seen it. I have.
Hey, Sket has an anime already?
It's been running for half a year.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that episode 25 aired last week at...
I was watching Kiki on tape during that time.
How many times have you watched Kiki?!
Whoa. A lot of care's been taken to give them the same lines from the manga...
Jump anime vets get lots of respect!
Well, we know everything about Sket, too.
This is...
Himeko-chan!
Yay! I'm so happy that you remember me.
And this Shinpachi-looking guy is Switch.
Please. Don't add any commentary.
He's more handsome than Shin!
I said to drop the commentary!
You're most gracious, thank you.
It's my voice!
It's Gin-chan's voice!
You really don't watch us, do you?!
It's true!
Their Shinpachi has Gin-chan's voice!
What are you so surprised about?!
It's been like this ever since the drama CD!
Oh, there was a drama CD?
Don't throw that!
What, you disregard everything?!
It's because we can't think of each other as "other people" for some reason.
I know. I wonder why.
What's going on here?
It's like Cell meeting Chiyo's Dad!
Bossun! I brought that book you wanted!
Oh, Teppei!
Huh? Wasn't Teppei-san the transfer student in the first episode?
The same voice!
Enough of this!
Hey, doesn't this room have a fridge?
I need some strawberry milk.
Go buy me some.
This sukonbu flavored Peloncan is really good.
But the other flavors taste like barf.
Hey! Why are you throwing up, Kagura-chan?!
I don't like this... At first glance, it looks like an ordinary scene here,
but the Gintama vibe is definitely starting to worm its way in...
Aid Compassion Exhortation Problem Solving
If this keeps up, Gintama will get this Thursday 6:00 p.m. timeslot back!
They've already got Monday.
With Thursday sewn up, they'd have an elite double-slot!
This room is pretty comfortable.
I don't want to go home now.
Yeah, that's nice.
I'm not sure why, but you managed to get yourself an anime.
Don't feel bad when your show is canceled.
You've had your glory. You're a legend.
Enough! Just go home!
We can't do anything.
Not until that gizmo's fixed.
Well, how does it look?
It didn't suffer much damage, and I think I've just about got it repaired.
It's not working yet, though, so cool your jets for a while.
There you have it, Bro.
We'll be crashing here for a while.
This guys acts like a two-bit hood...
Yeah, so...
Is this really okay?
We're just sitting around and talking.
Can this be considered anime?
Oh, don't worry about it.
Sitting on the sofa or tatami and gabbing is a standard Sket Dance scene.
What's with the onslaught of lame scenes?
It's true. They're always sitting in this room.
Can you even call this an anime?
It's boring.
Hey! You calling us boring?!
We can fire things up by playing badminton outside.
Now you're talkin'!
Let's do it!
No, in here is fine.
This is Sket Dance. This is the stance I'm taking.
Hah?!
Hey, Borsalino!
It's "Bossun"!
You expect people to watch this crap?!
It's not that easy out here!
Who cares?
They have their own way of doing things.
Gin-san...
There's nothing wrong with staying indoors.
Let's play a classic game.
Sure!
Let's!
He is Gin-san, after all.
I, on the other hand, thought he was gonna hijack the show.
What a dope I am...
Okay, the theme is...
Classic porn titles.
Hold it! What'd you just say?!
Right, we're going to make Jump titles sound like porn titles.
You can't do that! I told you, this is Sket Dance!
You check your methodology at the door when you visit here!
You're no fun!
Then let's try switching letters around.
Like how Matsudaira Ken becomes Ketsudaira Man?
I don't know if that'll work...
Let's try that with Jump titles then.
Heman Ritborn.
Clura: Rise of the Nokai Yan.
Bodaka Mex.
What's with the "Mex"?!
Would you just get out of here?!
I wanted us to do it like One Piece and Toriko!
He's right! When you're in somebody else's territory,
you don't act like you're the cock of the walk, Gintama!
Gin-san, we should tone it down.
Hey, she said "cock of the walk"!
A woman said "cock"!
Shut your damn mouth!
Shut the hell up!
Uh, sorry about that.
I didn't mean to step on your toes.
Oh, no. It's part of the job for both of us.
Don't worry about it.
Yes.
Shinpachi's blushing!
Watch out.
I heard that girl's like a female gorilla!
Shinpachi's gross!
He's thinking dirty thoughts!
Who are you calling "Boys Be Invidious"?!
Who you callin' a female gorilla?!
Um... On second thought, would you keep your mouth zipped?
What?!
Yeah, you were right the first time. It's my place to say,
and it's annoying to have an echo.
Uh, wait. Why?
You shouldn't be making that decision.
We both have our own jobs to do.
I mean, sorry, really. But it's hard for me to do my job here.
And that thing you said, "Boys Be Invidious"?
Totally a Gintama-style wedged-in joke that falls flat!
What are you saying?!
That "Aaaaah" too!
It's just another desperate attempt to wave the Gintama flag!
Th-That's not true!
No, I'm gonna be honest. You're annoying!
What?!
So I'm not allowed to talk?!
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying!
They're fighting tooth and claw over their position.
This looks familiar.
Don't back down, Himeko.
Yeah, now that we've sat down and chatted, it feels quite different.
They're pretending that I don't exist.
They left my glasses there.
Do they represent me?
What the hell?
We have a lot of dialogue scenes too, but...
Yeah, by the end, it's outright chaos.
Cut it out, Bossun. You're being rude.
Yeah, even your jokes feel too commonplace.
This is anime. You need more pizazz. For example...
Huh. Like what?
Hey, Volcano! I'm still talking!
That's rude!
No!! Bossun!
What the hell'd you do that for?! This isn't some battle anime!
Quit acting like this is Gintama!
That shock just kick-started the dimensional transporter.
Huh?!
What is that, some kind of deus ex machina development?!
Hey, is it really fixed?
Indeed. It's functioning normally now, so hop aboard.
And you put a handle on it, too.
What is it, a consumer device now?!
Did I go too far?
Let's not split hairs! Just get on the damn thing!
Uh, can I talk now?
No, you cannot!
Don't miss the ride!
We're blowing this joint!
Okay!
Even though I'm the main character...
Well, we'll stop bothering you guys.
It was pretty fun.
Yeah, whatever. Just go and I'll be happy.
Goodbyes are only one side of the coin.
You can't say goodbye until you've said hello.
You know it's over when Gin-san says something good.
That's Gintama!
We should be glad that we were able to meet here.
I don't mean to lecture you or anything.
But I have one thing to say.
Since we're both running in Jump at the same time,
we aren't strangers.
We're comrades.
Gin-san...
See ya.
Gin-san! I've always looked up to you!
We tend to do the same old same old here.
So tear the door off the hinges on Monday night! Rip it right off!
Let's do another crossover next year.
Although who knows if either of us will still be around then.
Hmph. Don't talk like that.
Cheers, Sext-dan.
I-It's Sket-dan, idiot!
Huh?
Huh?!
There's more to come, believe it!
Tryin' to be Naruto now?
The anime of Sket Dance! After this, we'll re-start!
Episode 1: The Academy SKETs
All right...
What's this? What's going on?
Um... This is the opening of our first episode...
What's going on, Switch?
Along with making the device consumer-friendly,
I added a time travel function as a joke.
And it seems like they activated it...
You're incredible!
So, what? While we were traveling back in time here, Shinpachi and Kagura...
...were thrown off along the way?!
Hm, the machine doesn't have much energy left.
We'll have to go slowly through to the present...
Yeah! And look for them on the way!
Roger. It'll just take the flip of a Switch...
I'm getting nostalgic! This is the first time we met Shinzou!
Yeah, now that you mention it...
Incidentally, check this out.
Shinzou broke his opponent's wooden sword, but look,
when they stand up again, it's back in one piece for some reason.
Hey!
You don't have to bring that up!
And thus, we, the Sket-dan, solved the problems of various people up to today!
Hey, are you trying to eat up time with recap footage?
No, not at all!
We always make full new episodes.
But look at you guys.
26 episodes under your belt and already padding it out!
No, that's not what this is at all!
Well, you can't deny that this is padding the episode.
Don't call it "padding the episode"!
I'll flick on fast-forward, er, that is, the accelerator button!
One's as bad as the other!
Even though there are so many can't-miss memorable scenes...
Hey, wait. Stop!
This was when we were in the Bibage Battle.
That doesn't matter.
Look right here!
That's right! Bossun! You've got no other choice!
Huh? What're you talking about?
Search for the Pixie! If he can only find the Pixie,
he can draw victory from the clutches of defeat!
Uh, I don't really get it... Can you explain it to me more simply?
There! Kill' em dead!
Bossa nova.
The only part you got right is "Boss"!
Two Bosses?
It's just like they say.
Find one red maggot, find a hundred!
Who you callin' a red maggot?!
Still, I'm impressed that you actually found me, Gin-chan.
Please, it was nothing.
I was simply doing what any leader would do.
I think I know where this is going...
There's no reason to take the bait, Bossun.
I'm not taking any bait.
It's just, they came all this way for a crossover,
so I feel a responsibility to get them back to their world safely.
You're taking the bait...
I'll find Pa-tsuan! It's what any leader would do.
They're on!
Episode 14... Not there. Episode 15... Nope, not there either.
16... 17...
I found him! He's over here!
I want to listen to one of Otsuu-chan's songs.
Guys! Hey!
Hey! Over here! Hey!
I don't see him. Did you make a mistake?
Hey, you dissin' my concentration mode?
Uh, guys? I'm right here.
Shinpachi! Where'd you go?!
I'm right here!
Stop ignoring me!
Oh, there he is.
I didn't recognize you since you're missing your primary feature.
My glasses aren't my primary feature.
But seriously, doesn't he look literally like a pale shadow of his former self?
Huh?
What the hell?!
Perhaps separation from his primary feature is making him fade from existence.
But that's ridiculous...
Shinpachi, where are you your glasses?
W-Well, they were gone when I got here.
So you dropped them in a different time?
Oh, no! We've gotta find 'em and quick!
Back to traveling through time!
Episode 18! 19, 20, 21...
No good, they aren't anywhere!
Well, I know he had them on at the beginning of the crossover!
Wait! Stop!
Today's practice was tough...
Got him!
Was that my imagination? I thought I heard Himeko-san's voice.
Oh, that's right! I'll change clothes, then deliver that book to Bossun.
Bossun, you mean...
I'm sure of it! When Teppei came to the club room earlier,
he was wearing Pa-tsuan's time traveling glasses!
Seriously?! I totally didn't notice!
The same voice?!
That's all I got...
I didn't realize it then either!
Bet you anything they have the same prescription!
Enough of this!
Well, I'll be going...
Wow. Some people's voices really do sound alike...
Teppei!
Huh? But you were just...
The glasses! The glasses are more important!
Put on these glasses that Yabasawa-san recovered!
Yabai-ble! I'm sorry again!
I don't really know what happened, but I think I caused trouble somehow!
O-Okay...
Shinpachi! Get a hold of yourself!
Is this the end?
Gin-san!!
Sorry for the wait!
Here, catch!
Universe!
Huh? What was I doing?
Stupid! Don't make us worry!
Runny glasses!
Gin-san! I think all of us in the club room just...
Yeah, we were just sent back to the first episode with the cherry blossoms in bloom.
Thank you very much for your help.
We'll never call you a poor man's Gintama again!
You're no poor man's Gintama.
You're still saying it!
Well, this is goodbye, again.
See ya!
And so, the 3 odd-jobbers returned safely to their Monday evenings at 6 world.
Thanks for the memories...
...Gin-san!
Odd Jobs
Best Regards
Open for business
Yeah, there you have it.
Starting next week at this time, The Very Best of...
Wrong!
I'll be back again next week, same time...
This is our territory! It's not over yet!
It's not over yet, I say!
Then, next week on Sket Dance...
Hey!
A-one, a-two... Good morning, everyone!
Who's that?! We're getting hijacked again?!
I've seen her somewhere before!
She's Remi-oneesan,
one of the hosts of that educational show, "Together with Mommy?"
Actually, I'm a teacher now! Call me "Oneesan", okay?
What the hell?! Who the hell would-
Oneesan!
Morons!
Next time, "With Oneesan and Bad Scientist"!
I'm up for it! We're still gonna be here next week!
We are...
Sket Dance!
