Summary box：あらすじ　武芸者たちが集う“鬼の巣”海原藩で三十一流派が天下無双を競う海原大仕合が始まる。天幻流（長刀）を撃破した大亀流・黒鉄我間は続く中泉流（弓）にも勝利。残る鏡千流（体術）の最強の使い手・大丸左近と激突！
Summary: Martial artists gather in the Fiefdom of Unabara, nicknamed “The Demons’ Lair”. There, the Grand Tournament of Unabara, a tournament where 31 schools will compete for the title of “unrivaled”, is underway. Kurogane Gama of the Ogame School masterfully defeated the Tengen school (Naginata). He went on to score another victory versus the Nakaizumi School (bow). Now he clashes with the strongest warrior of the remaining Kyousen School (classic martial arts), Daimaru Sakon!

Shimon：・・・・・・！
......!
Shimon：信じられん！
I can’t believe it!

Gorou：左近・・・・
Sakon.....

Gama：・・・・・・・・
........
Gama：（バ・・バカな・・）
(N-No way..)
Gama：（コ・・コイツ俺の刀を・・・・）
(He..He broke my sword...)

Page 04
Gama：（素手で刀を砕きやがった！）
(He broke my sword with his bare hands!)

Gama：（刀の鍔元は折れやすいとはいえ）
(A sword may be easy to break at the base of its guard)
Gama：（左近（コイツ）の攻撃は―――）
(But the power and precision of his attacks-----)

Gama：（キレや威力が普通じゃない！）
(Aren’t normal!)

Gama：（“抑え”が効いてない！）
(“Controlling” them isn’t working!)
Sakon：敵・・・・
Enemy....
Sakon：・・・・敵
....Enemy

Page 05
Sakon：あああああああ
Aaaaahhhhh

Gama：（コイツの攻撃・・・・）
(His attacks....)
Gama：（武芸者（ひと）じゃない）
(He’s not a person)

Gama：（ケモノ――――）
(He’s a beast------)

Gama：（こいつはケモノだ！！）
(This guy is a beast!!)

Ryuugo：クク・・・・見ろ五郎
Heheh....behold, Gorou
Ryuugo：これが俺の造り上げた
This is the monster that I have created

Page 06
Ryuugo：武芸者の技とケモノの闘争本能を・・
A monster that combines the techniques of a martial artist..
Ryuugo：同時に併せもった最強の怪物だ
And the fighting instincts of a beast

Gorou：・・・・・・・・
........
Gorou：（違う！）
(No!)

Gorou：（兄上　あなたはあの左近を造ったんじゃない）
(Brother, you didn’t create Sakon....)

Gorou：（あなたはあの左近を・・・・）
(You...)

Gorou：（壊したんだ――――）
(Broke him------)

Page 07
Text：七年前――――
Seven years ago------

Sakon：ホラ！五郎兄見てた！？
Hey! Did you see that, Gorou-nii!?
Sakon：今の絶対キマってたよ！！
That one will definitely do it!!

Gorou：ス・・スゲェ
W-Wow
Gorou：左近・・・・お前　今の蹴り・・・・
Sakon....that kick....

Sakon：鏡千の技は角度や足先の使い方次第で
I thought that, depending on your angle and your skill with your feet
Sakon：拳以外でもできるんじゃないかと思ってさ
Couldn’t you use the Kyousen techniques with something other than your fists?
Gorou：・・・・・・
......

Sakon：今のは肝臓狙いだけど
That one was aimed at the liver
Sakon：他の場所への攻撃だって出来るはずだよ
But you should be able to attack other places, too

Father：左近すごいじゃないか・・・・
You’re really something, Sakon....
Gorou：！
!
Sakon：父上！兄上！
Father! Brother!

Page 08
Father：どうやら左近には私と同じ
It seems that Sakon possesses the same natural talent that I do
Father：天稟があるらしいの龍吾・・・・
Doesn’t it, Ryuugo....?

Ryuugo：・・・・・・ハイ
......Indeed

Sakon：父上！兄上！見ててくれたんですか！？
Father! Brother! Were you watching me!?
Father；ム？
Hm?
Ryuugo：・・もちろんだ左近
..Of course we were, Sakon
Ryuugo：お前は俺の教えの上を行く
You’ve surpassed my teachings

Ryuugo：さっきの蹴り技もう一度やってみなさい
Do that kicking technique one more time
Gorou：幼い頃から兄上は左近を特別扱いしていた
From the time he was young, Ryuugo treated Sakon differently

Gorou：父上以上にその素晴らしき才能を溺愛していたのだ
Sakon’s incredible talent surpassed our father’s and Ryuugo heaped attention on him
Gorou：兄上はすでにあのころ左近を当主にするべきと考えていたんだろう
At that time he was probably already thinking that he should make Sakon the leader

Page 09
Gorou：しかし左近は鏡千流の当主としては大きな問題があった
However, there was one big issue with having Sakon as leader of the Kyousen school
Opponent：ひっ！
Hee!
Gorou：実戦において人を殺すことを嫌ったのだ・・・・
He hated killing people in a real fight....

Sakon：あなたの負けです終わりにしましょう
You have lost. Let’s be done with this
Gorou：そのせいで傷を負うこともあった
He also received some injuries on account of that

Gorou：必殺の武術鏡千流にそんな当主はありえない――――
The Kyousen school uses certain death techniques. To have a leader like that was unthinkable------

Ryuugo：左近・・・・
Sakon....

Gorou：そこで兄上はある策を弄することにした
So, brother decided to enact a certain plan on Sakon
Sakon：・・・・兄上ここは・・？
....What’s this place, brother..?

Page 10
Ryuugo：当主(父上)以外の者が入ってはいけないのでは・・
It’s a place only the leader, our father, is permitted to enter..
Sakon：・・・・・・・・・・
..........

Ryuugo：あの父では鏡千は“闇の武術”から抜けられん
With our father as leader, Kyousen won’t be able to get away from being a “Shadow Martial Art”
Ryuugo：明日からはお前が当主だ・・
Starting tomorrow, you shall be our leader..
Sakon：え？
Huh?

Sakon：！！
!!

Sakon：何ここ！？・・・・それにこの臭い・・・・
What is this place!?....And what’s this smell....?

Ryuugo：すぐわかるさ
You’ll understand soon enough

Sakon：！！
!!

Page 11
Sakon：わああああああああああ
Waaaaaahhhhhh

Sakon：！
!

Sakon：・・・・な！？
....What!?
Sakon：兄上・・？
Brother..?

Sakon：兄上！な　何するの！？ここは一体！！
Brother! Wh-What are you doing!? What is this place!?

Ryuugo：・・・・左近よ鏡千流にはその技の性質上
....Sakon, given the nature of the Kyousen school’s techniques
Ryuugo：常に“実験体”が必要でな・・
“Test subjects” are always needed..

Ryuugo：そいつらには今から入ってくる者を殺せば
They’ve been told that if they kill the person that just entered
Ryuugo：この穴蔵からの“自由”をくれてやると言ってある・・・・
Then they will be given their “freedom” from this hole.....

Page 12 + Page 13
Sakon：実験体・・・・？
Test subjects....?

Ryuugo：（左近よ優しき心を捨てよ・・・・）
(Sakon, cast aside your kindness....)

Ryuugo：（そいつらを皆殺しにするのだ）
(Slaughter them all)

Ryuugo：（生きてそこから）
(And emerge from there)
Ryuugo：（出たくばな――――――）
(Alive--------)

Page 14
Sakon：うわああああああああああああああ
Uwaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Ryuugo：（さすればお前は鏡千流当主にふさわしい者となる―――――）
(If you do so, then you will be a suitable leader for the Kyousen school-------)

Page 15
Gorou：その日の早朝のことだった
It was on the morning of that day
Sakon’s bubbles are unintelligible
Gorou：左近が父を殺したのは
That Sakon killed our father

Sakon：・・・・さむい
....Cold
Sakon：さむいよ兄上・・・・
I’m cold, brother....

Page 16
Gama：くっ！
Kuh!

Gama：なんて迅さだ！！
What speed!!

Gama：！
!
Gama：（折れた刃を投げ――――）
(He threw the broken bla------)

Gama：ちっ！
Tch!

Page 17
Gama：！！
!!
Gama：（くっ・・まずい！！）
(Kuh..no good!!)

Gama：（急所二点同時攻撃！！！）
(A simultaneous dual critical spot strike!!!)

Gama：（狙いは“目”――――）
(My eyes------)

Gama：（そして“心臓”か！）
(And my heart, huh!?)

Page 18
Gorou：（入ったか！？）
(They landed!?)

Shimon：（いや・・・・）
(No....)
Shimon：（これは――――）
(That’s------)

Page 19
Shimon：（刀の柄と――――）
(He diverted his fists away from the critical spots------)

Gama：ゲフッ
Koff
Shimon：（峰で拳を急所からずらした！？）
(By using the hilt and the back of the blade!?)

Ryuugo：！
!
Ryuugo：（何だと！？）
(What!?)

Gama：・・・・・・
......

Gama：・・・・あんた・・・・やっぱり“ケモノ”だな・・・・
....You....really are a beast....
Gama：攻めに迷いもためらいも一切ない・・・・
There’s not a shred of hesitation or reluctance in your attacks....
Sakon：ララララ・・
Rarararah..

Page 20
Gama：半端な駆け引きじゃ押しつぶされそうになるわけだ・・・・
I’m probably going to end up getting crushed using these half-formed strategies....

Gama：・・・・けど
....But now
Gama：今のでわかった・・
I understand..

Gama：守りに入ってちゃあんたにゃ勝てないわ・・・・
I can’t win against you by playing defense....
Sakon：ぐララ・・
Gurarah..

Gama：こっちも・・・・命を捨ててこそ勝負になる！！
I too....am going to have to fight without regard for my life!!
