Title: The Westerners
Text: Instinct runs like a machine.　　From the pit of one's womb, the senses throb and ache.

Text: The battle has brought East and West together.

Old lady: That kid's from Tokyo, ain't he?
Old dude: Huh...Yeah, I guess so.

Who was he again...Somebody....Raizou
from Nemurikyoushirou?

Old lady: Raizou!!

Old dude: Eh, not Raizou.
Sada Keiji, yeah?

Old lady: That ain't Sada Keiji, either.
Old dude: Yeah but if ya had ta pick, he looks more like Raizou, yeah?

Anzu: Why?
Katou: Hmm?

Anzu: Why're ya so obsessed with doin' the "right thing"?

Katou: What're you talking about?

Anzu: I'm just wonderin'...
how I'd have to raise a kid to get 'em to be like you.

How 'bout
your parents? Whatta they do?

Katou: Eh...
My parents...

My dad was a firefighter.
He and my mom died in a car accident when I was in 8th grade.

Page 3:
Anzu: Ah...any siblings?
You an only child?

Katou: One little brother...
He's in third grade.

Anzu: They got him in an orphanage or anythin'?

Katou: We live together in an apartment...
he's probably there alone right now.

Anzu: Make sure ya don't die, then.
Yer lil' brother'll be all alone.

Katou: Yeah.

Anzu: I...have a son, he's three, and we live together...
Same as you.
He's alone in the apartment now, too...
I understand just how you're feelin' right now.

Page 4:
Anzu: I can't be dyin' on him.
No matter what.

Katou: Yeah.
Same here. No matter what.

Anzu: So did your dad bein' a fireman inspire ya or somethin'?
Katou: Heh...maybe, I never really thought about it.

Anzu: Seriously, I was pretty shocked.
I ain't ever met a guy like you before ANYWHERE in Japan.

Katou: Maybe I'm just weird like that, eh?
Anzu: I'm COMPLIMENTIN' ya, doofus!

Black guy: This one's tough!
It's too damn big, and fast!
Rapist: Whoa!

Page 6:
top bubble: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Other osakans: Smash it from above!
The fuck's up with this thing!

Katou: Those guys...
something's different about them...

Anzu: They're all different races.
But
They'll definitely survive.

Old lady: What's with them kids?
Old dude: They're just shootin' the breeze,
and totally ignorin' us.

Page 7:
anzu: The black dude over there.
His nickname in the hunt is "George."

His real name's Shimaki or somethin'.
He's gotten 100 points 3 times.
He's probably the lowest one in the bunch...fights like a retard.

Page 8:
anzu: The tall dude with the shaved head
is Muroya Nobuo.
His nickname's "Knob".

Cleared the game 4 times.
Thinks he's invincible, fights like a maniac, and acts like the leader.

Page 9:
Anzu: The scum with his suit half-off
is Kuwabara Kazuo, or just Kuwabara...

He's cleared it 3 times, too.
Sexaholic
and a serious perv. Dude rapes women, aliens, anythin' with a wet hole. He's disgustin'.

Page 10:
Anzu: The guys we saved earlier are the Sadist Trio,
Taira Sanpei, Hara Tetsuo,
and Kimura Susumi. All cleared the hunt once.

Next is those two chicks over there:
The blond one's Knob's girl, Yamanaka Miho.
The other one's Yamada Sumiko.

Page 11:
anzu: The one on the bike's
nicknamed "Kyou".

Full name's Hanaki Kyou, gotten 100 points twice.
He shoots up every time there's a battle. He's nuts.

Page 12:
Anzu: Then
the last one...

Katou: How many of you are there?

Anzu: He's gotten 100 points 7 times... Oka...Hachirou...

He's definitely here somewhere、stayin' invisible and lurkin' in the shadows...

V-chick: Hey,
what the hell's up with all of 'em?
They don't even understand Japanese.

Vamp: They don't know who we are.
And since we're broadcasting the same "enemy" signal as the hunters, they have no problem with killing us.

V-chick: God damnit...
What're we gonna do about this?
