Hyde and Closer 32

One more to go!

Thug: That guy just took three shots, and he's still standing...?!

A normal person would have been half past dead by now!!

Kanna: Holy father!!

Abumiya: Are you serious?!

For a bunch of brats he has no relation to....

He's willing to go this far....

Why can he still move...?!

Kazan: As long as I'm here.....

ACT 32
Tinplate (Iron Power) (4)

Kazan: I won't let you lay a finger on them....

Neither the church or the brats...!!

002

{Kazan was born amidst trash in the slums...and then abandoned.}

{Since his birth, Kazan has only known solitude.}

{Kazan would have to steal from others in order to survive on the mean streets..}

{This resulted in daily life or death struggles for the youth.}

{Breaking the jaws of his opponents,}

{And then taking what they had to feed upon...}

{It was a life of complete and utter despair....}

{However it was the only way a youth as himself could manage to pull himself through life in the slums.}

{He had no choice but to live as such.}

003

{And as word of Kazan's long string of fights and lack of defeats spread,}

{He soon became the kingpin of the slums.....no one was feared or hated more than him.}
{He himself....}

{Had nothing in this world to fear.}

{That is until that day....}

Kazan: 'sup!

That apple looks pretty tasty man....

{Kazan took something irreplaceable.}

Kazan: Hand it over.

{He used his own two hands to take a young man's life.}

004

{The only reason he could offer for his actions...}

{Was 'I was hungry.'}

{It was as simple as that....}

{Kazan soon found the cuffs of justice wrapped around his arms...and the charge of murder hanging over him.}

Officer: You've done a lot of crap over the years kid....

But this time you've really gone and messed up.

It's one thing to be a punk....

But to kill someone....

And right in front of their mom!!

The next place you're going is the courtroom you little snot!!

If you have any damn sense left, you'd better start praying that they don't decide to kill you!!

{In the case of the young man's assalent....we have decided...}

{You are guilty as charged Kazan.}

{The punishment for this crime....}

{A DEATH SENTENCE.}

005

Kazan: Fine by me.

I'm damn fed up with this world!

If you've got the guts to kill me, make it quick!

'Cause there's nothin....

In this world that I'm scared of!!

{However as Kazan's days alive started to wane...}

{His heart slowly began to reflect on his situation...and change.}

{His attitude towards his punishment changed too...}

(Paper- Days till execution.)

Kazan: What.....

(7 days left)

(8 days left)

Kazan: I'm scared!!

'The hell am I scared of...?!

Don't screw with me!!

It's like my heart's trying to friggin escape without me!!

What the hell!!
What is this pressure I'm feeling...?!

This is....

(3 days left)

(2 days left)

007

Kazan: This is....

What death truly is...?!?

I'm scared...!!

I can't take this fear....!!

{I DON'T WANT TO DIE....!!}

008

Kazan: Heh...

That guy probably....

This is what he was thinking....

When I went and killed him....

Why....

Why did I have to go and do something so horrible....!!

{For the first time in his life,}

{Kazan truly regretted something he had done....and his heart ached.}

(No more days)

009

{Kazan decided to take atonement for his sins the one way he could,}

{And faced his death sentence that morning.}

Police: Get out Kazan.

You're being released.
Kazan: Wha..?

What do you mean?!

Police officer: Listen to me you idiot!!

The mother of the guy you killed came to court and requested we drop the charges!!

I've never seen a stupid guy like you get such a big break before in my life!!

I don't get anything!!

You were supposed to die today!

Yet you're getting up and walking out of jail like you're innocent!

Do you think I'll ever understand or like this?!

010

{They had enough evidence to put Kazan on death row...and he was scheduled to die,}

{Yet the young man found himself released, and fee to join society.}

Kazan: What the hell....

What just happened?!

Why....?!

I don't get it...!!

{The mother of the youth who had been killed, was leaving the courtroom that day...}

{But had become lost.}

Kazan: Man I don't get anything...

I know she knows that her son's dead because of what I did...but yet...

011

Kazan: I never....

Want to see her again...!!

Truck driver: Where the hell are you walking?!

Look both ways wench!!
Woman: Kyahh!!

I'm so very sorry to bother you...

My eyes aren't very good in this bright sunlight...

But I thank you so much...

Please accept my humble gratitude.

Kazan: N—nah...

It was nothin'....

Where do you want to go...?

I—If you want....

I'll take you there....

012

Woman: You know...

I had a son that was like you...

He's gone now...to a place far away from here.....

{The young man's mother told Kazan everything about her life and her sons up until this moment.}

{From how this son of hers was violent...and finally how he lost his life....}

{And of course the criminal that had been behind the death of her child....and got away without being punished.}

Kazan: Why...?!

Don't you hate that guy's guts?!?

He did something horrible to you, and yet nothing happened to him!! At least he should have gotten the death sentence....

But why?!

How come you can be at peace with what happened?!?

013

Woman: Yes you're right...I disagreed with the verdict...
And felt something more should be done....

But...

The court wouldn't give a chance to my son..since he was no better than the man that had killed him....

so they closed the case...

However if that criminal regretted his actions...

I feel that there would be more merit in having him alive more than dead.

Besides, there's no point....

In losing the lives of two people when it can be avoided right?

Kazan: ….Wha...

014

Kazan: What can I do to make up for this.....?

015

Mother: Forget about what you have done in the past...and live.

016

Kanna: Holy father....

Abumiya: Wh--

What the hell..?!

How long are you going to keep this up?! Why aren't you crying and begging for your life?

Are people that you love, and things that are important really worth throwing your life away for?

To go this far for a bunch of brats living in a garbage dump...!!

You're the type of bastard I can't stand the most....

017

Abumiya: The type that doesn't know when to quit...!!!

That's why my buisness has to flounder the way it does...!!

What the hell do you want?!
Tell me you pissant!!

Kazan: You don't know yet...!

Even if I had a million years to explain it...

an asshat like you wouldn't get it!

Abumiya: Heheheheheh

You really are a stubborn guy.....

If that's the case....let me give you a taste of true despair!!

Hey you guys....

Thugs: Y—Yessir!

018

Abumiya: Kill those brats.....

and make sure this guy gets a front row seat!

Don't worry! I'll be sending you to hell with 'em.

That is of course...

After you've burned this tragedy into your dirty eyesockets!!

Kazan: STOP IT!!

COME ON I'M BEGGING YOU!!!

Abumiya: Heheh..

Now then...

019

Abumiya: Cry out again...

In that sad, pathetic voice of yours.

The main attraction...

Starts from here...!!

020
021

022

Shunpei: Attacking children....

Laughing at people's important hopes and dreams...

And you still consider yourself human...!!

BRING IT ON DOUCHEBAG!!

I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!!
