Ranmaru：久夛良木定長・・・・
Kutaragi Sadanaga….
Naoyoshi：善丸・・・・

Sasuke：なんか心吾さんに似てるね・・
Kind of remind me of Shingo-san..
Sasuke：・・・・でも
….Except

Page 02
Sasuke：及ばないなぁアンタからは心吾さんほどの迫力も速さも感じない
You’re not at his level. I don’t feel the same sense of speed or intensity that I did from him

Sasuke：構えを見れば分かるよ　アンタ大したことない・・・・！
I can tell by your stance. You’re nothing special….!

Sasuke：楽勝だ！
This’ll be a cinch!

Sasuke：（真正面から――――！？）
(Right from the front------!?)

Sasuke：（ダメだよ！そんな工夫のない攻めじゃボクには・・）
(Nope! A straightforward attack like that will never work against..)

Sasuke：（！！？）
(!!?)

Sasuke：ぬぁ！！！
Nwah!!!

Banri：ホウ
Ho
Banri：（凄まじい検速に検圧だ）
(What terrifying speed and force)

Sasuke：（何でそんな速さで振れる！？）
(Why can he swing this huge sword)

Sasuke：（この大剣を――）

Th-that damn Zenmaru, he got better all of the sudden!?

Naoyoshi：し・・しかし
Y-yeah, but
Naoyoshi：善丸のもう一つの剣っていうのは一体・・・・
What in the world is this other style of his….?

Ranmaru：・・・・・・
……
Ranmaru：知らぬのですか？直善様・・
You don’t know, Naoyoshi-sama..?

Ranmaru：善丸という男・・あの一ノ瀬家の者ですよ・・・・
This man Zenmaru..is of the Ichinose family….
Naoyoshi：えっ！？
Huh!?

Naoyoshi：一ノ瀬・・一ノ瀬って・・
Ichinose..Ichinose..
Naoyoshi：まさかあの！？
You don’t mean that Ichinose!?

Page 09
Ranmaru：間違いありません　奴の持つ刀こそその“証”だ
There can be no mistake. The sword he carries is proof of it

Naoyoshi：！！
!!

Naoyoshi：あの・・・・久夛良木定長が・・・・・・！？
That….Kutaragi Sadanaga……!?

Gama：ねぇねぇさっきから何なのさ一ノ瀬家って・・
Hey hey, what’s this Ichinose family you guys’ve been talking about..?
Naoyoshi：！

Naoyoshi：我間　お前・・・・
Gama, you….
Naoyoshi：一ノ瀬家を知らんのか！？
Don’t know of the Ichinose family!?
Naoyoshi side of bubble：善丸の弟弟子なのに
And you’re Zenmaru’s junior?

Naoyoshi：（大実賀藩の剣術指南役を務め）
(They’re a distinguished martial arts family from the fiefdom of Omika)
Naoyoshi：（大実賀藩主より一千石もの知行を受ける武門の大家）
(Who serve as swordsmanship instructors for the daimyo and receive 1000 koku* of land from him)
MARGIN NOTE: *A koku is a traditional unit of Japanese measurement for volume. 1 koku of rice was defined as the amount needed to feed 1 person for 1 year, or about 330 pounds of rice, so Zenmaru’s family owns enough land to produce enough rice to feed 1000 people for one year.

Gama：！！
!!
Gama：剣術指南
Swordsmanship instructors
Gama：一千石！？
1000 koku!?
Gama：そ・・・・それって――――
That….that means------

Naoyoshi：そう・・乱丸の話が本当ならあの善丸は・・
Yes..if what Ranmaru is saying is true, then Zenmaru..

Gama：（んな――――）
(No------)

Gama：お・・おぼっ・・
S-Son..

Page 11
Gama：んなアホなぁ！！あの“山猿”が名家のボンボンだってぇ~~~~！！？
That’s ridiculous!! You’re telling me that mountain ape is the son of a noble familyyyy!?
Gama：ウソだぁ！！あのオツムポンポン丸がボンボンなわけねぇ――！！
Lies!! There’s no way fatheadmaru is the son of a noble family----!!

Ranmaru：間違いない・・・・
There’s no mistake….
Ranmaru：あの特殊な上段構えがその証
That special high stance is proof of it

Ranmaru：あの構えは一ノ瀬に伝わる特殊な戦闘理論によって創られたもの
That stance was created according to the special theory of combat that is passed down through the Ichinose family
Ran – past：善丸の――――もう一つの剣術が始まる！！
And now begins------his other sword technique!!
Ranmaru：一ノ瀬家初代はその剣術で生涯不敗を誇ったと言われている――
It is said that the first head of the Ichinose family went his whole life undefeated using those sword techniques----

Gama：生涯不敗！？
Undefeated!?
Gama：特殊な・・って何が？
Special..what do you mean special?
Ranmaru：久夛良木定長を見ればわかる・・
If look at Kutaragi Sadanaga you’ll understand..

Ranmaru：あの刀・・長大で重く鍔すら無い
That sword..is long, huge, heavy, and doesn’t even have a guard

Ranmaru：守備にはむかない・・・・いや・・
It’s not suited for defense….no..
Ranmaru：まるで守備を考えていない形状だ！
It’s as if it were designed without giving any thought to defense!

Page 12 + Page 13
Ranmaru：（だが　その久夛良木定長こそまさに）
(However, that very design)
Ranmaru：（一ノ瀬の戦闘理論を象徴する姿――――）
(Is truly symbolic of the Ichinose combat theory------)

Ranmaru：（強力無比圧倒的な攻めのみで）
(It is the embodiment of the belief that you can overcome everything your opponent has)
Ranmaru：（相手の全てを凌駕するという信念の具現化――――――）
(By using only overpowering attacks of unequaled strength--------)

Sasuke：（このボクが逃げきれない！？）
(Even I can’t get away!?)

Sasuke：（こいつ何であんな巨大な刀を）
(How is he able)
Sasuke：（こんな速さで振り続けられる！？）
(To keep on swinging that sword so quickly!?)

Zen：（言っとくが筋力じゃねーぞ！！）
(Just to let you know, this has nothing to do with muscle!!)

Zen：（俺はガキの頃からこいつを振る鍛錬をひたすら積んできた）
(I’ve been practicing swinging this sword ever since I was a kid)

Page 15
Zen：（俺も名門の出の男だからよ）
(Because I’m from a prestigious family)
Zen：（どうしても勝って名を上げなきゃなんねーんだわ）
(I have to win and raise our reputation, no matter what)

Naoyoshi：（そして何故・・・・大亀流に・・！？）
(And why….would he be in the Ogame school..!?)

You only lost an ear from that? You’re pretty good, Shrimpsuke
Zen：・・それとも斬られた俺の左腕の調子がわりーのか！？
..Or is it just because my left arm is in bad shape from getting cut!?
