3)
1: I'm sick of this shit.

4)
yellow: Young shamans in
white: a huge new serialization!!!!

5)
Chapter 1 - Tsubomi
yellow right: a young and fresh story!!!!
yellow left: The curtain rises on

6)
1: You call me all the way out here, of all places...
2: are you really serious about fighting me?
3: Of course we are!
4: Asakura Hana, Class 2-A at Shinra Academy...

7)
1: We're gonna crush you once and for all today

8)
1: and become the strongest gang in West Tokyo!

9)
1: I got no idea how a little pipsqueak like you can act so tough, but...
2: I'm gonna put an end to that.
3: Ichibara Ryuuji, Class 3-2 at Bansho High...
4: The second in a line of legendary thugs...Bokuto Ryuu!

10)
1: Are you guys retarded?
2(2b): I've never once acted tough! Who cares who wins stupid kid fights like this? If you really wanna be the "strongest"
3: then you've gotta up your game. Enough to become the god of the earth, at least.
4: Fuck you!
5: You little runt!!!

11)
1: They've left us no choice, Amidamaru.

12)
1: Go on, show 'em your power.
2-3: (Two lines of letters are cut off here. I can't figure out what he's trying to say. I could guess, though, if you don't have a better raw.)

13)
1: Gih...

14)
1: Owwww!
2: What are you doing, Tamao?!
3: Don't give me that. What are you doing home so late?
4: You broke the rules again
5: and used a spirit as a weapon in a fight, didn't you?
6: Uuuu

15)
1: Really, I didn't!
sign: Funbari Onsen
2: You lie.
3(3b): Have you forgotten how transparent you are to me? I was specifically told to take care of you, you know?
4(2b): You are the next in line of the distinguished Asakura shaman clan. You have a duty to protect this house for 500 years until the next Shaman Fight. Why are you wasting time with things like that?

16)
1: Using your spirit is "forbidden."
2(2b): If your power was revealed, we would be in big trouble...so if you do that again, I'll have to give you another taste of my extreme training. Understand?
3: Yes ma'am.

17)
1: I'm so sick of this shit!
sign: MY ROOM IS OFF LIMITS
2: 500 years is forever!
3: Why should I care about something that far away in the future?
4: And how coming using my spirit is forbidden?
5: Then why the hell am I a shaman, Amidamaru?
6: It's all for your own good, Master Hana.

18)
1: Mistress Tamao is just worried about you, Master Hana.
2: She did a number on you too, Amidamaru! What are you trying to act so cool for?
3(2b): ...heh. I'm your spirit, Master Hana, so our responsibilities are connected. Therefore, I follow your orders...even though I have no interest in those kind of fights.
4: Brandishing power like that breeds useless wars, and useless wars only become the seeds for more useless wars.

19)
1: Bite something and it'll bite you back.
2: Those were the words of your great father.
3: That's
4: exactly what I'm sick of.

20)
1: Must be nice to have all that experience you do.
2: With the Shaman Fight and stuff.
3: Oh no...!!
4: Same thing with my dad.
5: But that's why it doesn't matter what kind of philosophic shit you say to me, it doesn't matter.
6: I have nothing.

21)
1: Master Hana...
2: That day--
3: on that hill was the beginning of everything.
4: After waiting 600 years for a friend, a boy called a shaman, capable of tying this world with the next, appeared before me.
5: He asked for my help in the fight to decide the Shaman King, the god of this world.

22)
1: The friends we met...the days of battle when we merged our souls...the countless trials we faced...
2: As cruel and harsh as our journey was, I think our souls felt fuller than they ever had before.

23)
1: But Master Hana is--
2: It's your fault for bringing up his dad, Amidamaru.
3: He has a complex toward his dad.
4: He just happened to be born in the wrong age, that's all. There's no hope or dreams to be had in this time.
5: Saying things like that won't solve anything!

24)
1(3b): Oh, come on. Tamao isn't serious about forbidding him from fighting. You're his bodyguard in case anything happens, but that whole thing is just an act she's putting on. The most important thing for a Shaman is how well they can use their spirit, after all.
2: She's just telling him that when he fights, he needs to do it in secret.
3: Tamao understands full well the pain that Hana's in.
4(2b): And so do you, right? He's such a wild one that he's become a legend among all the thugs in West Tokyo.
5(2b): Although, it seems like he's only made more and more punks come out from the woodwork as a result. Gahaha!
6: I haven't gotten a single customer tonight...
7: This is no laughing matter, Tokagerou!

25)
1: Who are you badmouthing tonight?
2: Geh?! Tamao!
3: Welcome, Tamao! You look as beautiful as always! Is the inn closed for tnight?
4: Thank you, Yasu. Now, if only it helped me gather more customers.
5: This economic slump's wrecked the world, you know.
6: That god of ours has got one helluva mean streak.

26)
1: What are you doing here, Ryuu?! Did you finish preparing for tomorrow?!
2: Hey! I'm an important customer here too, aren't I, Yasu?!
3: Ufufu! Now, now, you too.
4(2b): I'll have a beer and devil's tongue, Yasu. And give me three beef fiber sticks.
5: OK!
6: I'll have a beer too, Yasu.
7: Who said I'm serving YOU?
8: Huh?
9: You wanna go, old man?! Let's go outside!
10: Bring it on!!
11: Ufufu. Those two are always so energetic.
12: Thank you very much for all your hard work today, Mistress Tamao. It's really tough for me to break old habits--
13: Forget about that, Amidamaru.

27)
1: More importantly...lately, I've been feeling a strange presence in this town.
2: I had Ponchi and Konchi check it out just to be sure, but Amidamaru, Tokagerou, you need to be careful too.
3: ...a strange...
4: presence...?

28)
1: The land of genesis,
2: Funbari Hill.

29)
1: Taking out this many thugs alone, in West Tokyo, of all places...
2: ...uuu
3: Guh...
4: I believe it's wise to assume that he's utilizing the power of that samurai.
5: Asakura Hana.
6(2b): The descendant of a hateful clan of legendary shaman and legendary spirits...but since our ancestor has become King now, we'll finally be able to close the curtain on a fake history fabricated from fiction.

30)
1: We are direct descendants of god...the royalty in our blood is thicker than any other.
2: It is we
3: who should be called the main Asakura line.

31)
1: Over Soul

32)
1: Tsukiyomi

33)
1: Time to cut the line
2: of the main Asakura clan.

34)
1: Ahhhhhh!
2: What the?! Who would do something like this?!
3: This was my favorite chair!
4: That's my gravestone, Master Hana.
5: Who cares about that?!
6: Dammit! It must have been one of those guys from yesterday! They broke my favorite chair to get revenge on me! I'm gonna kill 'em!!

35)
1: ...although, now that I take a closer look at that cut,
2: it was truly a masterful slash.
3: The cut face itself looks like a mirror.
4: Do you think there could have been a stonecutter in their midst?
5: That settles it! We're going to go interrogate every son of a stonecutter in this town, Amidamaru!
6(2b): ...forget about stonecutters, Master Hana, what about school? Mistress Tamao will really get angry at you if you disobey her two days in a row.
7(2b): Shut up! That's exactly why I have to skip!!! If I get serious and go to school I'll have lost!!!
8: Hey.

36)
1: Judging by your uniform, you're a student from Shinra Academy, aren't you?
2: I'm heading there as well, would you mind showing me the way?
3: Huh?
4: Who are you?
5: I'm busy right now, go away, for eyes.
6: ...four eyes...

37)
1(2b): ...fine then. Let me ask you something else instead.
2: Who are you talking to?
3: Oh no.
4: "Using your spirit is forbidden."

38)
1: If he finds out that I'm a Shaman, Tamao will kill me. What should I do? Say I was talking to myself? Then he'll think I'm a total weirdo!
2: But I don't know him, so who cares?
3: Shut up.
4: I was just talking to myself, four eyes.
5: Oh man, that sounded just like a Salaryman Senryu!
6: Huh?
7: My, what an interesting thing you're holding.

39)
1: What a coincidence.
2: I happen to have one quite similar to it.

40)
1: His name is Oboro Daikyou.
2: He's a wandering swordsman, a harbinger of misfortune.
3: Now, I wonder...between my swordsman and your samurai--

41)
1: Who's stronger?

42)
1: Master Hana!
2: Don't you dare stop me, Amidamaru!
3: ...awesome.
4: I don't know what's going on here, but he sure looks like a shaman to me.
5: And he was even nice enough to bring a samurai spirit with him.
6: ...in other words, HE'S the guy who broke my chair.
7: I can't possibly let him get away now.

43-44)
1: Now, finally
2: my days of boredom can end.
3: Hey...
4: Tell me your name.
5: Of course.
6: My name is--

45)
1: Hey, we've got trouble, Tamao!
2: What are you two so excited about?
3: Now isn't the time to be quiet!!!
4: We finally found out where that strange presence was coming from!
5: Their names are Asakura Ruka and Asakura Yohane!!!

46)
1: They're from the other Asakura clan that broke off in the Heian Period!
2: Direct descendants of Hao! From the hidden Asakura clan!!!
3: It can't be...
4: I mean, he died so long ago...!
5: And one of them's got in contact with Hana!!!
6: We have to hurry up and stop him!!!

47)
1: Otherwise, they
2: really might kill him!!!
white: Next issue, the hidden Asakura clan's evil hands spread out to many other places!! Their overwhelming power...may surprise even you!!

6: OK, OK, that's enough.
7(2b): U...umm, Ikki...I uh, I don't think that's such a good...
8(2b): Technologically...I don't think there are any problems...and since Ringo's "Thorn" Regalia is a replica, there won't be any interference...
9: That's not the problem here! What do you think the Regalia are for?!

6)
1: The Storm Regalia...is our "trump card."
2(2b): But bro already knows all about that...so when I use the "Storm Barrier"...
3: That's not what I want to hear about!!
4: I don't know much...about battling.
5: But if I do this...it'll make me win, right?
6: Nah.
7: We just have to believe it will.

7)
1: Guh...
2: Hah...

Chapter 665 - "CANDY"
From the Decks of the World Vol. 45 - "Impel Down: The most trusted man in Hell, the new Vice-Warden, Magellan"

2)
white: Another mix-up, while everyone's all mixed-up!!
1: Woahh!! I'm all fluffy now!!
2: That's Guard Point. Six different image transformations are possible.
3: What an unstable body!!
4: Get used to it!
5(2b): What?! The samurai guy went outside!!?
6: Yes.
7(2b): When I said that I saw a lone torso a while back, he asked in detail where I saw it,
8: and then went outside...!!
9: Oh no! I thought it was too quiet around here...!!! I let my guard down!!
10: Was he not supposed to go outside...?
11(2b): I'm the one who took him out of the cell when he was just an immobile head! Even meddling in affairs like that comes with responsibility! If he gets killed out there, it'll be my fault...!!

3)
1(2b): ...I see. He is a a samurai, but without a powerful torso to brandish his blade...the only thing he'll be able to do against an enemy is run.
2: --so will you be going out...to take responsibility?
3: That son of a bitch...
4: Luffy!! We're going out, do you mind?!
5: Sure, go ahead!!
6: Alright, I'll guide you there, so can I please see your panties?
7: Sure!! Oh yeah! I should have brought a camera...
8: Wait a minuuuuuuuute!!!
9: Zoro!! You go too.
10: If you're with them then Sanji will stay in his fighting mode...
11: I can't believe I have to go out here searching for that stupid farting samurai simply because you're an idiot! You perverted kappa!!
12: Hey, I didn't ask you to come!!! You think I want to be with some loser who doesn't know how to share happiness?!
13(2b): Only I was hit...what? Did I break a bone? ...no.
14: What was broken was my panty-loving heart...

4)
1: Alright, let's think about what to do from here on out.
2(2b): You need to turn us back to normal ASAP!! I'm sick of being a pervert!!
3: Hey now! What are you trying to do, compliment me to death?!
4: Stop making that face on Chopper!! Never again.
5: The problem...is those kids. Taking care of them is gonna be a pain in the ass.
6: Franky, can you just stop talking in that body?
7: Never again.
8: Here it is...!!
9(2b): But this is...!!!
10: Hey, where we really sick, tanuki-chan?!
11: ...!!! Uuuu...
12: Shindo!! What's wrong?!
13: Are you still cold!!?

5)
1: My body hurts....oehhhh
2: Are you alright?! Shindo!!
3: Hey, Chopper! He looks like he's in pain!! Fix him!
4: Hey, what the?
5: Mocha...!!
6: Uuuu...!!
7: Ahhhh...!!
8: Doran too!!?
9: What's wrong with everyone?!
10: The big ones keep falling down...?!
11: What's going on?
12: You just checked them out, didn't you, Chopper?! Were they really sick!!?
13: ...no.

6)
1(2b): Is there anything you want right now? What are you usually doing at this time?
2: Haa
3(2b): ...usually...? Getting our check-ups...then after that...we get candy...
4: Candy?
5(2b): They fizz and make smoke. They're fun...and taste good!
6(3b): Yeah...maybe if I eat one...oehhhh!! Haa...haa...
7: Eating it always makes me feel so happy...!! It may make me feel better...!!!

7)
1(2b): Brownbeard, was it?! Tell us what you know!! These children aren't sick!!
2(2b): What are you saying? I was on outside duty and don't really know much about inside the laboratory...but those kids have some incurable disease!!
3(2b): Our merciful Master went out of his way to collect them from other islands and is healing them with his medicinal technology!! He's a scientist of love!!!
4: Oehhh, cough...!!
5: Allie, too?! Are you alright?!
6: See?! Since they're away from the lab,
7: they couldn't get their daily treatment and are starting to feel bad!!!

8)
1: No!!!
2: Chopper, what's wrong?! What did you find out?!
3(2b): NHC10. This was found in their bodies.
4: It's only a little bit, but--
5: it's a stimulant drug!!!
6(2b): Only chosen doctors in chosen countries are allowed to use this! I know about it because the Doctrine also used it.
7(2b): Even if it's used for treatment, like it's meant to be, it is NEVER used in extreme doses where it can become addictive!!

9)
1(2b): These children have been absorbing into their bodies little by little each day, and now they're experiencing chronic addiction!! They want more of it to escape from the pain they're currently experiencing!!!
2: Why would someone do such a thing to these children?!
3: To keep them from escaping from the lab?!
4(2b): What does your "savior" want with these children?!
5: How dare you insult our master!!!
6(2b): Chopper! What should we do?! More and more keep falling over!!
7: If they want candy, there's some over in that building!! Should I go get some!!?
8: No!!! They must never eat another piece of that candy!!! That's how they kept ingesting the drug without knowing it!!!

10)
1: Are you going to bring us candy, Straw Hat?
2(2b): Hm? ...no!! I can't! Chopper's the doctor of my crew, so if he says I can't, I believe him!!
3: Why...?
4: Hm?
5(2b): Wahh!! Shindo, what's wrong!!? You look scary!!
6: You just said you'd bring me some!!!
7-8: haa
9: Huh?

11)
1: Didn't you?!
2: Uwahhh!!!
3: Luffy!!!
4: He's really strong!!
5: Guehh
6: Waaaaahh!!
7: Stop it, Shindo!!
8: We don't want to see you so violent like this!!
9: That's average strength for a giant child!!
10: They're THIS strong?!

12)
1: Shindo isn't a giant child!!
2: Huh?!
3(2b): None of the big kids are!! When they first came to this island, they were all normal sized!!
4: Wait, are you saying our disease isn't one that makes us grow big?! There's nothing else wrong with us!!
5: The children who've been here the longest are the biggest...!!
6(3b): What?! There's no such thing as a disease that makes children grow into giants!! Giant children are always giant from the beginning!! ...then
7: Hey, the other kids look weird too!!
8(2b): If their pituitary gland hormones weren't originally advanced to begin with...it means these children...have been experimented on...!!!
9: What is that master guy trying to do...?!
10: How could he stifle them with drugs like this...?!
11: Can I fight him?!
12: No, Luffy! Out of the way!!!
13: Don't hurt them, Luffy!!
14(2b): I know that, you idiot!!! "Hissatsu!!"

13)
1: "Bakusuiboshi!!!" (Fast Asleep Bomb)
2: Waah
3: Kyaaah
4: Haa...haa...
5: Haa...
6: --so they really were kidnapped...
7: Luffy.
8: Hm?

14)
1(2b): These poor, poor children...!! They want to go home...they want to see their parents! ...let's save them!!!
2: Hmmm...we'll just take each and every one of them back to their parents, then...!!
3: Easier said than done, stupid!! There are a ton of problems preventing us from doing that.
4(2b): --Yes. And this is all just a hypothesis...we won't be certain of anything unless we check on the "source!!"
5: That Master guy...?
6(3b): But right now, Zoro, Sanji, and Brook went to go look for the samurai. Ah well. We'll just have to go to the lab without them!! Let's go see that Master guy!!
7(2b): ...I'll wait here...!! There's no way I can forgive that master guy! I really want to kick his ass,

15)
1: but I'm worried about the children...I have to tend to them!
2: Yeah! Y...yeah! I'll stay here too, then!!
3: Nami, that's not fair! You're just scared!!!
4(2b): They'll be trouble if they start to go crazy again!!
5: We'll have to at least
6: tie up the big ones!!
7: You don't think this is a bit much...?
8: We have no choice! They're heavyweights.
9(3b): What about the body switch problem? All 4 of us have to go at the same time and see Trafalgar or else we won't get back to normal.
10: What's the big deal? Just stay how you are.
11(small): Ahaha
12: What's the big deal?!?! Make us a priority, dammit!!!

16)
1: On the rear mountain trail to the laboratory --
2: Zoro's group --
3: At Caesar Clown's laboratory --
4(2b): The heart of the Vice-Admiral of G-5,
5: Smoker.

17)
1(3b): You really knew the perfect souvenir to bring me! I've already sent out troops to the Marines, but...shurororo! With this, victory is ours!
2: What about the Straw Hats?
3(2b): We don't need to do anything, the brats will all want to come back here out of their own volition...but Mone advised me to be very careful, after all...!!
4: I thought it may have been a bit much,
5: but I sent those two out...
6: "The Snow Mountain Assassins,"
7: the "Yeti Cool Brothers!"
slanted: A mysterious duo!! Just how strong are they...?

10: It shouldn't be.

6: Who is this "majesty" guy you keep talking about?
7(2b): There is no need for me to answer that question. Why do you want to know?

11)
1: His majesty ordered me to "defeat you with all my strength"

1: You're...from...
2: zabah...
slanted: A dangerous meeting...!!
3(2b): I had people keep an eye on you ever since that time. You and Nonou...yes...the Mother.
4: zah
5(2b): Follow me. I'll teach you everything you want to know...
6: ...what I want to know...? Like what?!
7(2b): Why the Mother targeted you...and why she didn't remember you...
8: Don't you want to know...?

2)
1(2b): glance glance
2: This is my hideout...
3: No one knows about it...meaning you're my first guest.

3)
1: Why would you bring me here?! What are you planning to do?
2: slide
3(2b): You're thinking of more and more questions...that's good. Humans can't escape from the desire to "want to know"...that's why you followed me.
4: Then just tell me already!
5: slip
6: You know what I want to know, right?!
7: ...to put it plainly
8: you and the Mother were to be disposed of.
9: What?!
10: You were just too skilled as spies...

4)
1: You knew too much.
2(2b): ...but! I spent such a long time risking my life to gather information for Konoha...why all of a sudden...?!
3: Sometimes, information can be more powerful than the strongest weapons and jutsu...
4: You're seen as a dangerous person now.
5(2b): Although, it was decided from the beginning that you'd both end up like this.
6: It was even within the plan to aim for a mutual kill...
7: Right after you left the monastery...
8: Danzou told the Mother your true reason for leaving.
9: You sacrificed yourself to our group so that money would be sent to the monastery.

5)
1: ...the Mother begged for you to be freed.
2(2b): Danzou agreed a few years ago, with one condition: that she would assassinate a certain man.
3(2b): ...Funny as it may be...you were the assassination target.
4: I thought it was a condition so that I could be freed?!
5(2b): What are you talking about?! Why didn't she notice it was me?!
6: I told you...because they were aiming for a mutual kill,
7: so they used a little trick...
8: ...a trick?!
9: flip

6)
1: They kept you two in different infiltration points so that you wouldn't meet...
2: And sent the Mother photos of you growing up to prove to her that you were safe.
3(2b): She didn't even notice that halfway through, they switched in someone else...for a long time, she began to see someone else as you.
4: It was long-term brainwashing...
5: One of the organization's well-worn devices.
6: That boy is the other Kabuto.
7: And so, Nonou attempted to kill you, never thinking that you were the true Kabuto...
8: as a double agent, a betrayer of Konoha...
9: And you were the shinobi sent out to finish off the one that survived...
10: ...am I right...?
11: flinch...

7)
1: So clueless about yourself...yet you hit it right on the mark with this.
2-3: buuuuun
4: guh

8)
1-2: haa
3: I...always wanted a way to explain myself!
4: I thought I finally found it!
5: But now, because of you, I have no idea who I am again!!

9)
1: --those glasses were what connected Mother and I!
2: That name was only meant for me!
3: Mother was the only parent I had who would never forget who I was!
4: But now none of that is true!!
5: What, then...what
6: am I!!?
7-9: haa
10-11: spark
12: Uwahh!

10)
1: You just lack the information you need to explain yourself.
2: Those glasses and names, and your status as a child were not the true you.
3: But that's fine.
4(2b): If you can't accept what's happened up until now...then just find something new, filling yourself up with what you need.
5: If you want to kill me...then why are you saying these things to me?!
6(2b): ...I wanted to know what kind of person I was as well. So I collected all I could.
7: step
8: plop

11)
1: I repeated experiments and inspections on much of what I gathered little by little...
2: amassing intelligence and ability within myself.
3: plop
4: step...
5(2b): And so I was reborn...always heading toward a new, perfect self.
6: And now, I've once again found something new.
7: This time...
8: plop
9: It's you.
10(2b): If you want to know who you are, then just collect things and information. If you collect all there is to collect, then you'll certainly come to understand it.
11: why...am I one of those things to you?

12)
1: Because I understand your talent more than anyone else...it'd be a waste to kill you.
2: And because this is a special medical laboratory I prepared for you.
3: What are you planning?
4(2b): Unlike that organization, which snuffs out the self, I want to create an organization and a clan that brings out the self. The clan of Otogakure, which belongs to no country.
5(2b): You and I will now leave Konoha. I will become your superior, your brother, your parent.
6: I will protect you from Danzou...
7(2b): Your new background is as follows...when you were an infant, you were picked up and raised by the captain of a medical squad during the "Battle of Kikyou Ridge."
8(2b): You grew up as the child of Yakushi Nonou, who became the captain of the medical squad after returning to Danzou's side...
9: Today, you will be reborn as Kabuto Yakushi.
10: I am Orochimaru.
11: If you want to know who you are...then come to my side...

14)
1: There's another organization I want to investigate next...
2(2b): Please leave it to me...which organization?
3: Akatsuki.
4: Bring me data on Orochimaru's human experiments and Edo Tensei.
5: Understood, Sasori-sama.
6: You're useful.
7(2b): You erase sound, smell, and your self...you're like my puppet.

15)
1: plop

16)

17)
1: If you can't accept what's happened up until now...
2: glug
3-4: plop

slanted: Memories drift to the past...
1: Kabuto, can you still work?
2: Yes, Mother!
3: I know it's for the sake of the orphanage, but why do all of us have to heal these shinobi?
4(2b): Because doing nothing won't bring us any money...can you go get me some bandages, Urushi?
5: Sure...
6: You're pretty good for not being a shinobi...your medical ninjutsu, that is...
7: Mother taught me all I know.
8: Kabuto...was it...?
9: Why don't you become a shinobi? ...you'd be a great one...

2)
1: I'm sure of it...
583: Who is this?
2: I'm not interested in that.
3(2b): I want to keep working like this and earning money for the orphanage and helping mother, that's all. She did so much for me...and all I've been able to give her back so far is a pair of glasses.
4: ...? Oh really...what wasted potential.
5: To think the "Walking Medium" would be here babysitting children.

3)
1: It's been a while since I've seen you...
2: You look a bit worn-out, Nonou.
3: I abandoned that name long ago.
4: The discussion about Konoha's aid has already been finished...what is this all of a sudden...?!
5: You were our most elite intelligence agent...you expect me to believe you lost track of everything as soon as you flew the coop...?
6: We didn't come here to speak just about the aid.
7: We received information that in these war times, Iwagakure is working on a large-scale plan.

4)
1(2b): We want you to speak into Iwagakure to check whether or not that information is correct.
2(2b): And if it is...we want you to find out the details and when it will be put into action, then report back to us.
3: It may become a long-term mission.
4: ...you've come to the wrong place, then...
5: I'm no longer...
6(2b): Don't you people get it?! Do you realize how important the role of a Mother is to the children and this orphanage?!
7: She's worked for us and protected this place with all her might!
8(2b): Why don't YOU people handle your own dangerous missions! Why would you come all the way here to ask her...
9: Because we can't trust anyone else to complete this mission.
10: We don't have a single agent who's more capable than you.
11: Most get broken at some point, or defect to the enemy.
12: I know that she would never sell us out.

5)
1(2b): Your face tells me you've already realized it too...Nonou. That's right...if you refuse, then we won't pay another coin to your orphanage.
2: What?! But we had a deal with the 3rd Hokage!
3: You think you'll get away with this?!
4: Seems like a thief would have no trouble getting in here...
5(2b): I recommend you hire a bodyguard to protect your money. If you have enough money to do so, that is.
6: And you'd better be careful that none of your children get kidnapped, either.
7: Children without any ties can be useful, you know...
8(2b): You rotten scumbags!! You call yourselves shinobi?!
9: You need to wake up already.

6)
1: That's a small price to pay in order
2: to protect Konoha!
3: I...understand.
4: Wait, Mother!!
5: It's because you could never fully kill your heart that you turned out this way.
6: You really aren't suited to this, at your core.
7: How dare you...?!

7)
1(2b): ...also, in order to get our information this time around, one of my subordinates died...so I'm taking one of your children with me to replace him.
2: How far must you go...?!
3: I just told you I would accept the mission!!
4: This and that are separate.
5(2b): We'll be sure to give you your money next time...in exchange for this time and one child.
6: Besides, how do you know none of the children don't want to become shinobi themselves...
7: What could it hurt to ask? There may be at least one.

8)
1: Why, Kabuto?
2: I have what it takes to be a good ninja...
3: And I want to master medical ninjutsu.
4: Kabuto! What happened to the 3 years we spent together?!
5: Get back over here!
6: Did you all forget the rules of the orphanage?
7: It's already bedtime.

2: Kuh!
3-6: hah

12)
1: Mother?!
2: What?! What are you doing here?!
3: It can't be...she's still on that mission...?!
4: Uuu...
5(2b): Why...my...wound...who...are you...?

2: slip
3: It's Kabuto!!

6: Who's...
7: ...there...?

14)
1: This way!
2: Dammit! They got Nanigashi!

15)
1-4: hah
5: Mother didn't recognize me...
6: Why?
7: Why didn't she remember me...?
8: Why...
9: Does it mean I was someone else up until now?!
10: What did she give me?!
11: ...my name, a place as one of her children...
12: even these glasses...

1: click
2: Who...
3: is this...?

17)

Chapter 664 - "Master Caesar Clown"

3)
1: If my memory is correct, then...
slanted: Inside Smoker...is Tashigi!!
2: there were some child kidnapping cases that happened recently around these seas.
3: Kidnapping cases?!
4: How can we concentrate on something like that? We can't get used to you like this, Captain-chan!!
5: What choice do you have?! Just get used to it for the moment!!
6: Hey, Tashigi, what's the big idea? I didn't hear about any little runts getting kidnapped.
7: Button your shirt, Smoker-san!!
8(2b): I like the way this "open" Captain-chan looks, but it's her inner part that's scary!!!

4)
1(2b): All we we ever get from this area are shipwreck reports once in a while...but now that you mention it...I do remember it as being an area that sees a lot of child deaths.
2: Ohh, yeah, that's right! Kids die a lot here.
3(2b): During my visits to the intelligence department, I noticed that there were many reports of child kidnappings in G-5...
4: squeak
5(3b): Ahh...that's right, I have no glasses. --But by the time they got to the papers, they all became shipwrecks, pirate incidents, and missing person reports...
6(2b): But of course...!! The people who reported them were probably just jumping to conclusions...although...I guess it isn't completely impossible...
7: Seems like you're having trouble speaking, Tashigi!!

5)
1: If this your hunch, then tell it to me straight!!!
2(2b): Let's see here -- so you saw all those kids back there...and started to wonder whether all those kidnapping reports were actually the truth?
3(2b): And that maybe the criminal's on this island...? If that turns out to be the truth...!!
4(2b): It means the articles that've spread around the world were all lies...and that someone inside G-5 erased all traces of the child kidnappings...!!
5: You mean to say...one of the kidnapper's men is in G-5?!
6: Hey, come on, Smo-san!! You gotta have at least a LITTLE respect for us!! We may be the runovers of the service,
7: but we still have a minimum level of pride as marines, you know!!!

6)
1: Shuddap!!!
2(2b): Gyaaaahh!!! Damn you're scary!!
3: jerk!!
4: Why the hell would I waste my time suspecting idiots like you?!
5: Whaaaat?!
6: But hey! Don't start getting any weird ideas about the marines.
7: Know this -- as long as humans are the ones running things, a perfect organization will never exist in this world...!!!
8: Getting carried away by your imaginations will let the enemy escape!! Don't let appearances deceive you!!!
9: ...eh...?!
10: Yes ma'am, Captain-chan!!!
11: Just shut up, you guys.
12: I'm the Captain.
13: Oh yeah!! We let appearances deceive us!!

7)
1: But Smoker-san...I don't have that much confidence in it...
2: That's fine! It's still worth leaving it in the corner of your mind.
3(2b): Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Law's pinned down my "heart" and "body." I can't leave this island yet.
4: A third of you need to go to the ship and make a report on what happened here.
5: What are you saying, Vice-Admiral?! The ship was busted to smithereens...
6: You said you saw one of their ships docked, right? ...go steal it.
7: Oh yeah!! I forgot about that!! Damn!! You're evil!!!
8: We need to be careful...and I need to steal back my own heart and body before things get too out of control...
9: Then we can pull the plug on this island's conspiracy!!!

8)
1: Meanwhile, in Vegapunk's old Lab...
2: Finally, we connected.
3(2b): Permission to kill has been granted for the Straw Hat Pirates, G-5, and Kinemon the Will o' Wisp...
4(2b): Seems like whoever we kill on this island, JOKER will be able to work it into being an "accident" in a nearby ocean! This is great...!!
5(2b): Capture as many as you can...the more specimens the better...!!
6: Yes master!!
7: --but they won't go easily. You can poison them to death, I don't care...where's Law?
8: He just left this room...
9: Fine, whatever. Apparently, our enemy has a 400 million bounty...don't overdo it.

9)
1(2b): --After that, we have bounty targets from 120 million down to 50. Their total bounty is 800 million and 50 B.
2(2b): But it looks like they were quiet for 2 years, and didn't make any incidents, so their bounties have been the same for that long. They're probably even stronger than the numbers make them seem.
3: You're always so industrious, Mone.
4(2b): Master!!! Haa...a...
5: Haa
6: Oh, what are you people doing? You were outside without a coat in that freezing cold!!?
7(2b): The pirates stole our coats...but more importantly!! They took Boss Brownbeard with them...!!
8: Please...save him...!!
9(2b): Oh, the poor thing...!! But you don't need to worry about Brownbeard. We'll get him back for sure...!!! Now hurry, go into the back room!!
10(2b): You're a lucky one, you know. I just finished a new serum...it warms the body AND heals wounds...!!
11: Really?! What a relief...please, give the others some too...
12: But of course. First, however, I'll start with you...

10)
1: Meanwhile, at the Straw Hats' area--
2: Hey, what's the big idea, Usopp?!
3: This is ruining Nami-san's beautiful face!!
4: Pretty super!!
5: I don't even care anymore...
6: Thanks, Usopp!!
7: We have to do this, otherwise we'll keep getting confused!!
8: Brownbeard?
9: Yeah! You've heard of me, haven't you? That's my old nickname!!!
10: Never heard of it.
11: What? Goddammit!!

11)
1: What happened? You wouldn't tell us anything before...
2(2b): Yeah, but you're all gonna die soon, so who cares? Law's gonna come save me! Woahhoh!! I hate the generation of pirates you're from, but Law's a special exception.
3: What? Our generation?
4(4b): Don't you know, you idiot?! I'm talking about the 11 rookies with bounties over 100 million that met up at Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, along with Blackbeard...people these days refer to you as the "worst generation!!"
5: You're all just a bunch of problem children fated to war because you were born in this period between the end of an age and the beginning of a new one!!!
6(2b): They all jumped in to the New World after Whitebeard passed away and ripped the place up...!! Whenever some big problem happens, the people at the center are always the pirates from this generation!!!
7(2b): Blackbeard!! Kid, Law, Drake, Hawkins!! It was Basil Hawkins who tore asunder my Brownbeard Pirates!!

12)
1(2b): Thanks to him I lost both my legs, and the ability to keep going on as a pirate...!! My allies were all devastated and barely escaped with their lives,
2: only to arrive here! At Punk Hazard!!
3: Do you know what this place is?!
4: It used to be a treasure trove of life, brimming with greenery...
5: This place?!
6: Hard to believe that one...
7(2b): This used to be an experiment facility for the government scientist Vegapunk. In this place, he did experiment upon experiment, developing drugs and weapons.
8(2b): Some criminals were even taken here instead of to a prison in order to undergo human experiments, like guinea pigs...!!

13)
1: But then, four years ago, one of Vegapunk's chemical weapon experiments failed
2: and two of the three labs that were here were blown sky high...!!
3: These are the ruins
4: of that facility!!!
5: That's why everything's all beaten up...!!
6: The explosion spread toxic substances and high heat, stealing away the very life of the island.
7(2b): --and despite it all, those government bastards left the guinea pig prisoners here to die. Every last one of them escaped and then closed off the island.
8(2b): The prisoners who had been left here holed up in the only lab that still had its shape, as it protected them from the poison gas that filled the air.
9(2b): The powerful nerve gas got to those who didn't die and paralyzed them from the legs down. They had absolutely no hope left...!!

14)
1(2b): --but then, after a year passed...our merciful master arrived to the island...!! He possessed a special ability
2: that allowed him to purify the poison gas on the island and give scientifically-powered legs to the paralyzed prisoners...he even accepted them as his own men!!
3: Woahhhh!! Master!!
4: Masterrrr!!!
5(2b): I disembarked here one year after that, two years from present day. Toxic substances still lingered on the island, and even breathing could make you nauseous.
6(2b): I didn't have any will left to live. I figured this would be the place where I'd die. But then, the prisoners, legless like me, appeared along with Master...!!!
7: Master's kindness saved my life as well!
8(2b): If Vegapunk's a devil for taking away my comrades' legs, then our master's a benevolent god of salvation...!!!

15)
1(2b): Then, a few months ago...the second god of salvation appeared...
2: Trafalgar Law, a newly-made Shichibukai, came to the island...
3(2b): He used his ability to give all us cripples new legs!!
4(2b): He gave us the legs of living animals!! We thought we'd never be able to walk again! Tears of joy spilled from our eyes!!!
5: What a great story!!!
6: See, Traffy's a good guy after all. He saved me, too.
7: I didn't know Vegapunk was such an evil man...!!!
8: So he used his ability on those people with sheep legs that we saw in the lab...
9(2b): The centaurs and the bird-woman...now I get it...but wait a second. What about the dragon?

16)
1(5b): --oh, so you saw the dragon? That's a man-made creature that Vegapunk originally created to guard this island. It could adapt to any environment. I think...the Celestial Dragons liked it and gave it some kind of name...but I forgot what it was. If you see it, just uh, run. It's pretty violent.
2: OK.
3: Although, we ate it...
4(2b): Anyway, do you know who the important people of this island are now? The deserted Punk Hazard belongs to our master now!
5(2b): Woahohohoh...!! Rejoice!!
6(2b): Master is doing research for the sake of the human race even now...!! And you all get to become the few specimens he needs!
7: He won't let you get away!! Woahohohoh!!

17)
1: In the lab--
2(2b): Master!! Master, it hurts!! Cough, cough
3(2b): What kind of medicine is this...?! Please, let me out...
4: Just bear it for a little!!
5: How do you feel now?!
6: Oehhhhhh!! Cough, cough
7(2b): Nausea, coughing...good!! Does your head hurt?!
8: It...it...it hurts!
9(2b): Good!! What about your eyes? Are you hallucinating?!
10: There's a giant snake...in this room!!!
11: Shuroro! No there isn't. Good, you may rest in piece now.
12: Oh well...
13: --another failure?
14(2b): Failure?! Watch your tongue! None of my experiments ever fail! Not even what happened 4 years ago!
15: Everyone just kept spewing such foolish things!!

18)
1: A failed experiment?! My weapon killed an entire island...!!!
2: You call that a failure, world government?! I can kill more of your enemies than anyone else!!!
3: Ex-government scientist
300,000,000 B bounty
Master Caesar Clown
(Gas-Gas no Mi Ability User)
4: Shurorororo...!! And I've even done surveillance on what happened to the victims of the attack afterwards...!!!
5: Just watch me...I'll prove to you who the greatest scientist in the world is!!!

19)
1: Back with the marines--
2: Huh?! Really, Smo-san?!
3: The one who really caused that big accident...!!!
4: The one who created the weapon AND set it off was Caesar Clown!
5(2b): He was the No. 2 of the science division at the time, but he had a horrible imagination, and was always at ends with Vegapunk -- Vegapunk only took the blame for that accident, and nothing more.
6(2b): Of course, developing a simple weapon of murder that creates toxic gas is illegal. Caesar was arrested once, but he's got a hell of an ability...
7: He escaped from the prison ship -- and has been in hiding ever since. If Caesar's really continuing his research on this island,
8(2b): then we've got to stop him fast...before we face another one of his horrors...!!!
white: He's a dangerous man!!

1(2b): Calm down. Jittering around like that isn't going to make the captain's meeting end any sooner.
2(2b): I-I know...
3: Right?
4: ...I know that...
5(2b): But...this is a grave matter...the very idea that I'd be calm is ridiculous...!
6: Sorry.

2)
1(2b): There's something I need to know about before the meeting ends...
2: Do you mind?
3: ...Vice-Captain Kira.
4(3b): These incidents -- the invasion, the mass Hollow disappearance, and the Rukongai citizen disappearance...
5: I thought they were all connected.
6(6b): But the truth is, according to the 12th division's report -- the first two incidents are connected, but the Rukongai incident was blamed on a dispute between the people themselves. All investigations were quickly canceled, even though the disappearances are still continuing.
7: I can't accept this.
8: So I want to talk about this with the Vice-Captains while all the Captains are in the meeting.

3)
1: Among us
2: is there anyone who investigated anywhere beyond District 50?
3: ...what does that have to--
4: Yes!
5: Shiney and Yumichee from my division went to 64!
6: And their report?
7: Same as the others, I think?
8(2b): All footprints disappeared at a certain point. But there were no Hollow footprints so they thought it was just a fight between the villagers.
9(2b): No, what I want to know about is the type of footprints they saw.
10: Barefoot footprints and sandal footprints...
11: ...I knew it...!

4)
1: Knew what?
2(2b): There were facts presented in Rukongai research that stated that the standard of living of Rukongai citizens had suddenly plummeted at the border of the 50th district. Clothes had become rags, and people walking around barefoot had increased...
3: Additionally,
4(2b): Statistics from the past 550 years stated that no citizen beyond the 50th district had ever been found wearing sandals.
5(2b): In other words, if there were sandal footprints in the 64th district,
6: those footprints all belong to Shinigami.
7: ...I thought it was strange.
8(2b): Normally, the spirit particle investigation squad from the technology development department would accompany us on an investigation of this manner. But we didn't even see that...

5)
1: ...just what
2: is Captain Kurotsuchi hiding?
3: Vice-Captain Kurotsuchi.
4: ...I do not know.
5: Mayuri-sama has not given me a single piece of information regarding that matter.
6: ...I'm reporting this to all the Captains.
7: ...do as you like.
8: Mayuri-sama would never ever do something wrong.

6)
white: They clash...!!
1: ...it...
2(2b): It...can't be...
3: The Tres Bestias were beaten...?!
4: A Shinigami with an Arrancar on his shoulder? What a rare sight.
5: However...

7)
1: I already know about you,
2: Kurosaki Ichigo.
3(2b): ...oh. Well, I guess if he could come after me,
4: then it's no surprise that you all know about me too.
5: There was information about you in the daten (*tl note: "Data" in german) we received from our leader.
6: You must be taken care of at high priority -- as a special weapon!!!

8)
1: What?!
2: That wasn't Shunpo.
3: It wasn't Sonido or Fullbring...
4: It was--

10)
1: Are you...
2: Are you really Quincies...?!
3(2b): Oh my. Don't tell me you were challenging us without even knowing who we were?!
4: No, hearing your words right now, it seems like you merely had a "hypothesis," but no "confirmation."
5: Fine then,
6: Allow me to answer.

11)
1(2b): You are correct. We are the Quincies
2: you know well.

5: Soul Society.
6(2b): I don't know why he entered Hueco Mundo, but if he's fighting with Kirge then he won't be able to move again for a while.
7: We will have no better chance

1(2b): I mobilized the 12th division troops and exterminated 28,000 Rukongai citizens without permission in order to level the soul balance.
2(2b): Why didn't you ask for permission? If it was an urgent matter then you would have received it.
3(2b): Because if it had become more than an urgent matter by the time I received permission, I wouldn't have been able to take responsibility.
4: If the speed of your technology development department's work and reports was faster...
5: then we may have been able to avoid this entire situation.
6: That is not true.

2: the Quincy ryoka Ishida Uryuu invaded the Seireitei,

5: The one who invited all of this
6: was you, Commander,
7: 1000 years ago.

U: This samurai slashing up all the centaurs was what started everything.
S(2b): But I just wanted to save my missing son, Momo! I was just cutting down those who stood in my way!!

S(2b): It was that man we saw! The people around him were panicking and calling him a "Shichibukai"...
Z: Whaaat?! Traffy?! He became a Shichibukai?!
R: Yes...over the two years.
S(2b): He sliced my body into three before I knew what happened...left my torso, sent my head to the facility, and then threw my legs to some place where they'd become food for the wild beasts...
S: I ran around trying to sense them, but then it felt like I had gotten stuck in something...
U: --yeah, you got stuck in the back of the dragon's head!!

18)
L: Oh yeah, his legs did say "Damn Shichibukai!"
N: Huh? His legs? How could they speak?
Z: Hm? Good queston.
S: Ahh! That was just me farting!
S: It's always been a talent of mine-poo.
L: That was a fart?!?! You're terrible!!!
S: I know-poo.
L: Hey!! These stink inside!!
B(2b): Yohoho! Funny that you only have your head and legs. You see, I just ran into someone who only had his torso.
Z: That must have been his.
B: You're right!!!
S: You saw it?!
Box: --Meanwhile, at the Marine GI-5 Evacuation Point--
M: ...are you really alright without your heart, Tashigi-chan?
T: Strangely enough, yes...
M: I don't know how to treat you, Miss Captain!
S: There was a "CC" mark on a boat that was hidden off to the side of the lab.
M: Huh?! When did you spot that, Vice-Admiral...?!
S(2b): If it was a boat that was once used here, it should read "PH"...it should read "Punk Hazard."

19)
S: If someone's hiding behind Law...if "CC" stands for someone's initials,
S: then there's only one person who comes to mind...!!
S(2b): And there's a few things that check out if it means he's hiding on this island!! Dr. Vegapunk's ex-colleague, a mad scientist with a bounty on his head...!!!
S: The leading expert in weapons of mass destruction...!!!

7)
I: No.
I(2b): You need to be able to forgive yourself for what you can't do.
I: No one can do everything, that's why you need friends to make up for it.
I: Also, so that you don't belittle yourself for what you thought you could have done.
I(2b): If you want to know who you are, then you need to re-examine the true you and acknowledge yourself.

O(2b): ...Kurosaki-kun...if he keeps making so much noise they're going to find him...
A: Buekkshoeeeehh!!!

6)
A: Hey, are you spreading rumors about me?! Mila Rose!
F: Huh?!
F(2b): Are you retarded?! I didn't say a single thing!
F: What, are your ears rotting?
S: Hey!
S(2b): How long are you two going to keep fighting?! If you're just going to keep getting in the way, then could you please leave?!
N: Wha...
N: What are they...

7)
N: C...Captain!
N: They're incredibly strong!!
N: P...please, send a temporary order of retreat!!
N: Obh
C: ...let me give you
C: one word of advice.
C: Give up.

8)
A: ...huh?
C(2b): You're strong. Amazingly strong!
C: You would become fine pawns for our leader.
C(2b): Therefore, I do not want to kill you. I strongly encourage you to turn yourselves in!
C(2b): Now. Come and join our ranks!
C(2b): Do so, and you can fight for our leader along with Tia Halibel, the woman you so respect!
C(2b): For now, and for your futures,
C: There is no option that could bring more happiness!!!

9)
A: Who do you think you're fucking with, four-eyes?!
S: Can you at least take us seriously?
C(2b): Hm. Is this to say my negotiations failed?
C: Truly regretful.

10)
A: --that concludes
A: the detailed report about the foreign army invasion.
M(2b): Good job, Akon.
M: You may step down.
M: ...now then.

11)
M(2b): The invaders this time -- we've been calling them the "foreign army"...
M: They call themselves Vandenreich. We believe their invasion is connected to the recent hollow disappearance.
M: I think the wise Captains among us have already determined the truth here--
M: That army is an army
M: of Quincies.

12)
M(3b): How they survived, or how they increased their numbers is beyond me. What we need to concern ourselves with is the fact that they can somehow pass through the Soul Shield membrane.
M: And according to Vice Captain Sasakibe's last words, they can seal Bankai...or perhaps possess technology capable of nullifying them.
Y: That's enough.
Y: We've shared enough information.
Y: What I want from you is beyond that.

13)
Y: I want to know
Y: where their stronghold lies.
M: ...unfortunately,
M: we still haven't...
Y(2b): ...I see. Then we have no way to attack them from here.
Y: ...I hereby order all Captains
Y: to prepare for war.

14)
Y: The vanguard of the army said that the "war will begin in five days."
Y: But we have no reason to believe the words of cunning and wily miscreants who would launch such a sudden attack.
Y: Dedicate 100% of your energy to war preparations.
Y: Do not let them ever take the initiative again!

15)
I(2b): Woah?! That explosion was a big one!
N(2b): I told you, remember?! The Tres Bestia are as strong as ogres!
N: You'll just drag them down if you go there!
N: It's alright, I won't make fun of you! Let's just turn back!
I: ...
I: !!

1: ...wha
2: Are you two hurt?!
3(2b): If you can stand, then run!
4: Oh no...

10)
1: Did she bite her tongue?
2: How...how was she hurt?!
3: There was a blade in that ring.
4: Annie cut her finger with it.
5: But
6: that's so simple...dammit...
7: As I thought...she knew I was lying from the beginning...
8: She even knew about the people hiding out below!!
9: I should have thought...
10: of a better plan.
11: You can reflect later.
12: ...just tell me.

11)
1: What should we do?
2: From here...
3: For now...let's meet up with group 3 and go to the surface.
4: Then we'll follow plan B...
5(2b): Fight Annie...the female giant!
6: Eren...
7: you'll turn into a giant, as we planned
8: and help us detain the target...OK?
9: Yeah!
10: Heeey!
11: Group 3!
12: What happened?!
13: Did Plan A fail?!
14: It failed!
15: Please start Plan B!

13)
1: Wha...?!
2: It stomped through?!
3: We have to save him!
4: Eren, get back!
5: But what about him?!
6: You wanna die?!

14)
1: It was a gamble.
2: She gambled whether or not you would die by her opening that hole.
3: It's crazy, but now we're in serious danger.
4: Annie is absolutely desperate
5: to capture Eren.
6: Wh...what should we do?
7: She blocked our path...
8: Even if we tried to quickly get to the 3DMG through that hole or the entrance...
9: she'd aim straight for us...
10: But on the other hand...
11: We could be stomped at any minute if we stay here...
12: I'll...

15)
1: take care of this somehow!
2: Just like how...I blocked that cannon that one time...
3: Come here!
4: Hey!!
5: Here I go!!

16)
1: ...huh?
2: Not again...
3: Come on...
4: At a time like this?!
5: Dammmiiiiiit! This huuuuurts!
6: You can't become a giant if your goal isn't concrete, right?
7: Try imagining your goal harder...one more time!
8: I am...!
9: But...why?!
10: Really?

17)
1: Are you sure you aren't...
2: hesitating to fight Annie again?
3: Eren?
4: Don't tell me at a time like this...
5(2b): you're thinking that maybe it was just your imagination that Annie was the female giant? You just saw her with your very own eyes, didn't you?

18)
1: She's the one who killed
2(2b): your team members, remember? You really still don't think it's her?
3: S...
4: Shut up!
5: I'm...
6: doing the best I can!!

19)
1: It's been a while...
2: Elvin, that bastard...making us wait like this.
3: At this rate the military police will be here first...

20)
1: Maybe...he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out.
2: Hahaha...
3: Captain...
4: You're...
5: quite the chatterbox today.

21)
1: Yeah right.
2: I've never known when to shut my mouth...
3: ...sorry.
4: If I...
5: hadn't...
6: made the wrong choice back then,
7: things would have never gone that way...
8: You wouldn't have gotten injured...
9: Didn't I already tell you?
10: No one could have predicted those results.

22)
1: Sorry to keep you waiting.
2: It's fine...
3: Armin?
4: And Mikasa...?
5: We discovered an entity whom we think is
6: the female giant.

23)
1: Normally, we belong to the military police in the Stohes District.
2: This time, however...we've devised a plan to capture the female giant.
3: The day after tomorrow, we will put it into action.
4: On that day, Eren and I will be summoned to the royal capital.
5: In the current conditions, we can't avoid handing Eren over.
6(2b): Otherwise it will be difficult to draw out the ones who are planning to destroy the walls. It could also potentially lead to the destruction of the human race.

24)
1: This plan was devised in order to break through all the difficulties we're experiencing.
2: We will gamble everything on this.
3: We have...no other chance left.
4: Basically, when the military police begins to escort us, Eren will escape in Stohes.
5: Our goal is to draw out and capture the target, avoiding giant transformation underground if possible.
6: If we can use Eren as bait to capture the servants of the giants who are trying to destroy the walls,
7: then of course, we won't need to be summoned.
8: The royal capital should focus more on protecting the walls.

25)
1: Wow...
2: Honestly...I thought we had no hope left.
3: But if this succeeds, the entire situation will turn around.
4: Plus, if they already know who the female giant is, then they should have a higher rate of success.
5: Nice.
6: About the female giant...
7: Armin's the one who inferred it.
8: He's also the one who proposed this plan. I decided to go with it.

26)
1: According to Armin's hypothesis, which he got from making contact with the female giant,
2: there is a possibility that the female giant is among your 104th trainee squad.
3: She is thought to be the one who killed the two giants we had caught alive.
4: Her name is

28)
1: Annie...?
2: is the female giant?
3: How...could you think that...
4: Armin.

29)
1: The female giant
2: not only knows Eren's face,
3: but she reacted after hearing his nickname, "Death-Seeker," which only his peers know.
4: But the biggest clue is that we already suspected that it was Annie...
5: who killed the two giants...
6: Advanced skills were necessary in murdering them, so she used her own 3DMG...
7: then, during the inspection, she presented Marco's gear and got away without suspicion.
8: What...?
9: Why...is Marco...connected to this?
10: I don't know...
11: Maybe I was just seeing things...

30)
1: ...huh?
2: Hey kid.
3: You said this was someone whom you "thought" was the female giant.
4: Don't you have any other proof?
5: Yes...
6: Annie's...
7: face resembles the female giant's.
8: Huh?! What the fuck are you people saying?!
9: In other words...
10: They have no proof, but they're still going along with the plan...

31)
1: No proof...?
2: Are you kidding me...?
3: Then why do it?
4: What are you going to do...
5: if it turns out it isn't Annie?
6: If it isn't Annie...
7: Then she'll be in the clear.
8: If that happens, I'll feel sorry for Annie...
9: But...still.
10: If we do nothing
11: then Eren will just become a sacrifice for people in the center.

32)
1: How...
2: could you suspect Annie...
3: You're crazy...
4: Eren.
5: Doesn't anything come to mind when you think of Annie and the giant?
6(2b): You fought in hand-to-hand combat with the female giant. Didn't you see Annie's special fighting style?

33)
1: You already know, don't you?

34)
1: The female giant
2: is Annie...
3: So...
4: you have to fight her, right?

35)
1: Or...
2: Maybe...some special sort of feelings are preventing you from doing so?
3: Huh?!
4: I got a plan.
5: Mikasa and I will each go out of the hole and the entrance at the same time.
6: That way Annie will have to pick one of us.

36)
1(2b): At that time, Eren, you need to run away from her! You can't find naked like this.
2: The soldiers will take care of her somehow.
3: Let's go!
4: Huh?
5: Wait, Armin!
6: If we do this then
7: one of you might die!
8: At least all 3 of us won't die.
9: Get in position, Mikasa.
10: Alright.
11: Mikasa!!

37)
1: H...
2: How
3: can you two...
4: fight like this?

38)
1: We have no choice, do we?
2: The world
3: is a cruel place.

41)
1: It really is.

45)
1: Eren vs. Annie! Their final exchange!!

Scene 17: Romantic Ghost Killer
1: --a diet member became a victim of a terrorist attack during a public speech.
2(2b): The SDF has been deployed to important governmental posts and are on guard now. The city is gradually displaying more and more caution towards the ESPers.
3(2b): Master...do you know how Ayumu-kun's been?
4: He's alright, for now.
5: He's just been shut up in his room, studying.
6(2b): Even at times like this, he doesn't show any signs of stress. What a guy...
7(small): remote view

162)
1: --we are uncertain of the true faces of the enemy, and they can appear and disappear at any time.
2: It's been nothing but bad news lately.
3: Each day brings new gloom.
4: --Rika-san...
5: I know this isn't the time, but...

163)
1: Wanna go on a date with me this weekend?
2: Whaaaaat?!
3: Sorry...

164)
1: --lately, at the beach by the aquarium,
2: there have been reports of couples getting attacked by ghosts...
3: ...it may have something to do with an ESPer.
4: I was so surprised...
5(2b): In other words, he wants us to disguise ourselves as a couple and investigate the place...
6: Things have been pretty bad lately.
7: I guess it's best to help the people out as much as we can.
8: But
9: my heart is still beating.

165)
1(2b): --I mean, I know what my own feelings are, but...
2: why did he have to purposefully call it a "date?"
3: That'll just make me think about it even more!
4: Uhooooohhhh!

166)
1: --Do you even have clothes for a date, Rinka-san?
2(2b): Nooo! Everything but my school uniform burned up in the fire.
3(2b): Ahh...ok then, I know a cheap place.
4(2b): Good thing it's still warm out! You can just go in a one piece. It's cool AND economic!
5: I'll let you borrow one of my bags.
6: Ohh...
7(2b): But I...I've never bought one of these before...

167)
1: Well, if I have to buy something, I'd rather buy a T-shirt, or something I can wear normally too...
2: You can wear a one piece, no problem!
3: Besides, you may be going there to investigate, but it doesn't mean you AREN'T on a date!
4: This is your chance to show him your cute side, which he usually doesn't get to see!!
5: If he goes to the aquarium with you while you look gorgeous...
6: I'm sure that even Azuma-san will be starstruck!
7: Really?!
8: --this may be my chance...I still wonder about Minami, though...
9: That reminds me, I saw on TV once that in countries with lots of terrorism, people bring guns when they go on dates...

168)
1(2b): Now is finally time to use the money I've been saving up for years...that I rescued from the charred remains!
2-3: haa
4: A piggy bank?!
5: This is all for a just reason!
6: To fight terrorism!!

169)
1(2b): --I really am sorry...about keeping my ability secret...
2: But
3: I'm not with the terrorists.
4: I'm just me.
5: Hardly different from normal people.
6: That's not the problem here...

170)
1(2b): If people find out about you...it'll be like I've betrayed the trust of the people!!
2(2b): Next week is the national assembly...losing my job won't be half the trouble!!
3: But...if it wasn't for my ESP,
4: I wouldn't have been able to save you.
5(2b): What should I...have done?

171)
1: --finally, the day of the date came.
2: Do I really look alright..?
3: One piece - 1000 yen
4: Bag - rented from Murasaki
5: Light make-up - borrowed from Master
6: Sandals - 500 yen
7: Azuma-san...? I just left my house now.
8: OK, just wait there.
9: Break a leg!
10(2b): Alright. Shall we be off?

172)
1: Teleportation makes meeting up so easy!
2: We can go anywhere, and it's absolutely free!
3: What an economic guy!
4: He's the best!
5: Want to eat something?
6: Sure. We can split it.
7(2b): --I checked up on the urban legends. Apparently, three couples were attacked by the ghost.
8: But no one's been actually hurt, so the police haven't gotten involved.

173)
1: Do you think the ESPer had something against those couples...?
2: I dunno. Either way, it isn't any serious terrorism.
3: Maybe the ghost itself is some kind of illusion...
4: An illusion?
5: But...
6: Why...?
7(2b): Maybe someone has something to hide...and they don't want anyone coming near it.

174)
1: --Like,
2: a secret hideout or something...
3: Now that he mentions it...this place is pretty dead for a weekend.
4: But it might actually be a real ghost, too.
5: But that's fine with me.
6: It might be easier than fighting an instructor.

175)
1(2b): I can't believe we haven't found anything yet...sorry for calling you all the way out here.
2(2b): No! This is so fun!! Besides, I didn't even get to go to the beach over summer.
3: And...

176-7)
1: Someday,
2: I wanted to look out on a view like this
3: with someone I like...
4(2b): Only ESP can beat ESP...
5: --I know I'm still weak...
6: I know there are things...
7: only I can do.
8: And I want to do them as best I can.
9: That's how I've come to feel.

178)
1: And it's all because
2: of spending time with you, Azuma-san.
3(2b): It's funny...at first
4: I thought he was just a weirdo.
5: What an eyesore...
6: Getting hot and bothered, are you?

179)
1: If you want to get that hot,
2: then I'll send you both down into an inferno!
3: It's heeeeeere!!!
4: It came through the window...

180)
1(2b): Hyahyahya!! I did it...
2: I finally...killed someone!
3: Scream!
4: Scream until your voices reach "the one"...
5: Then I too will become...
6: an ESP terrorist!!
7: --you can use ESP?

181)
1(2b): She's a hit-and-runner...a reserve terrorist?
2: These aren't my fighting clothes!!
3: What...how did you get over there?!
4: This is my only dress...
5: How dare you?!

182)
1: It passed through her?!
2: Rinka-san!!
3: She can turn transparent just like you!!
4: Wha...
5: Die...

183)
1: She's just...
2: like me?
3: Not only is she attacking people...
4: for a stupid reason...
5: She's an ESPer...
6: Buh
7: just like me...

184)
1: Enough with the terrorism!!
2: Gehih
3: ...ggh

185)
1: Urushiba...
2: Rinka?
3: The wannabe hero's
4: gotten in my way again, it seems.

186)
1: We'll take her now, on suspicion of assault...
2: But we won't be able to keep for long.
3: Is her ESP really gone?
4: Kweh!
5: How dare you?!
6: I was so close to meeting "the one!!"
7: "The one?" Who's this person you keep talking about...?
8: Heh...isn't it obvious?
9: The god of the new human race.

187)
1: He heard about my ghost attacks...
2(2b): and sent a servant to come test me...
3: They told me that if I wanted to join them...
4: I had to prove my power as an ESPer to them.
5: If only had I known that sooner...
6: I would have killed more people...
7: A murder test...
8: by the terrorists?

188)
1: The ESP district
2: I wish to create
3: is one that fears no persecution, regulations
4: or idiotic censorship from the government...

189)
1: One where people can evolve their own abilities and techniques.
2: A free paradise.
3(2b): --We'll use the sky tree to complete our plan.
4: Then, this city will have no choice but to meet our demands.

190)
1(2b): --you plan to take over Shinjuku? Then control the humans?
2: It's our right as a superior race.
3: Now, how about joining me...
4: in order to perfect this new world?
5: Kuroi Kozuki.

191)
1: I didn't raise you so that you could turn out like this!
2: At this rate you won't get into high school, or even get a good job!
3(2b): knock knock
4: Gwehhhh
5: Zwaaaaah!

192)
1: Pehhh!
2(2b): To Ayumu-kun - I found your glasses by the station after they were blown off you, so I snuck off and grabbed them.
3: Also, I made some cookies, so give them a try.
4: That girl...
letter: PS.
I owe my life to you. You were so cool, like a true hero of justice.
5(2b): --I'm sorry! Please forgive us!!

193)
1: ...what about me
2: was heroic...?
3: --Good morning, Rinka-san.
4: Your clothes were so cute yesterday, by the way.
5: NOW
6: you tell me?!

194)
1: Let's hang out again,
2: on a REAL date.
3: --my life as I know it ends here...
4: I hope...we'll be able to.
5: Judging from what happened yesterday, our enemies have grown over the summer.
6: Even if I have no idea about what's yet to come.
7(2b): --true. I don't know how long we'll be able to relax like this...

195)
1: But...
2: That's exactly why,
3: As long as he's here...
4: I want to be with you...

--I feel like I can overcome
2: ...anything.
3: --This world will never revert

2: Did you get into a fight?
SCENE 16 - Two-Second Limit Precognition
3(2b): Apparently he was sparring. I can't believe he did it with no protection...
4: You're not allowed to meet that panda anymore.
5(2b): The new semester has already begun, and midterms will be coming up soon.
6: Don't think you can get relaxed because you're still only in 8th grade.
7: Just imagine that the exams have already begun.

118)
1(2b): You haven't told your parents about your ESP yet?
2: Lately there's been all this talk about ESP...
3(2b): How are things on your end, mom? Aren't the lower Diet elections coming up soon?
4: I have no intention of letting those terrorists...
5: run around as they please...
6: I will protect your future!
7: You don't need to worry, just focus on studying!

1: --summer vacation ended,
2: but the heat still lingered in September...
3: Hmph...
4: Nuu...
5(small): Rehabilitation
6: This is bad, I've lost almost all of my abilities.
7: What have you been staring at?
8: We have confirmed their existence.
9: They are a threat to national security.
10: A talk show.
11: Ah...I've seen that person on TV a lot recently.

121)
1(2b): Accounts of ESP have appeared in mythology and the bible.
2: The study of ESP, parapsychology, was even accredited as a academic study in the 19th century.
3: However, we cannot prosecute these people through our current laws.
4(small): I'm getting interference...
5(2b): She's one of the officials trying to get the ESP Regulations passed...
6: regulations?
7: Yeah. They've been deliberating over this all summer.

122)
1: --for example, under current laws, someone with pyrokinesis
2: He just caught on fire for some reason!
3: I tried to help him!
4(2b): It wasn't me! I don't have a lighter or gasoline!
5: can't be tried as a criminal.
6: What, did you use ESP?
7(2b): --however, suspicious people have been registered and are under surveillance.
8: You're not allowed to go outside alone!
9: Hey! Where are you going?!
10: This regulation will allow them to be arrested and even imprisoned depending on the circumstances.
11: Hieee!
12(2b): Y...you mean they don't have human rights?
13: I guess not. It's all because of the terrorism that happened over the break.

123)
1: They don't see us ESPers as humans.
2: The fear of the people is winning out.
3: But not all of us are terrorists.
4: Is that law going to pass soon...?
5: Certain people already know about me.
6: Although, these two stand out the most.
7: I and your father will handle the police.
8(2b): If things get bad, we can even use Peggy to erase ESP.
9: Kweh!

124)
1: --but as long as those instructors are out there...
2: we won't be able to fundamentally stop them.
3: Master...what about with my teleportation?
4: I think CPC will work on them.
5: But not yet.
6: Your "Thousand-Hand Counter" still hasn't been completed.
7(2b): Techniques are things you spend your whole life perfecting.
8: It all depends on you.

125)
1(small): Blindfold?
2(2b): This is a space beneath my house. I built it over the summer.
3: Here, we can carry out ESP training without holding back.
4(2b): Um...is this training
5(small): I can't see!
6: in order to open my mind's eye?

126)
1(2b): Hohoh! Nothing that dramatic...
2: The sounds of objects, and the quiet flow of the wind...
3: Scents and the presence of breath...
4: You must use your five senses to detect all things and people around you.
5: Nuuuu...you think I can do that all of a sudden, in a new place like this?
6: I'm not even sure I could walk straight.
7: Feel it with your skin, not with your heart.

127)
1: Fighters like teleporters who jump around your blind spots
2: can't be followed with your eyes, anyway.
3(3b): I see. So I need to sense their presence and predict where they're attacking from.
4: Then I'll be able to use the Thousand-Hand Counter.
5: That's what this training's for...
6: He may be a pervert,
7(2b): but he really is teaching me how to fight against a teleporter.

128)
1: Panda Boob Fist!!
2(panel two sfx): ANGER
3: You stupid pandaaa!
4(2b): Wahh! Wait, Rinka-san!!
5(2b): Hohoh! The sparring begins!

129)
1: Wahh! Azuma-san!
2(2b): Sorry!! Are you alright?
3: Of course, I'm fine.
4: Awww, you kids.
5(2b): Wahhh!! This is training too, I swear!!

130)
1: ESPers are capable of completely destroying
2: our society, straight down to the core.
3: Kita-ku - Ouji
4: We must capture them as fast as possible and investigate them...
5(2b): That tanker accident almost killed me!
6: It was like an alien attack!!

131)
1: I know people who have died because of them!
2: I can't just be sitting here in the hospital!
3: She'd probably be really shocked to find out
4: that her own son is one of the aliens...
5: Huh?
6: Ayumu-kun?
7(2b): Uwahh! The nunchuks girl?! What are you doing here?!

132)
1: We must prepare ourselves now...
2: --that government official who was on TV...
3(2b): Because of their economic policies...I even lost my job!
4: And now I'm going to be persecuted
5: because of my special abilities?!

133)
1(2b): --sorry about that...I wanted to apologize with this.
2(small): Juice
3(2b): Don't worry about it...do you live around here?
4(2b): Yeah, I was just about to go return the nunchuks.
5: You walk around with those?!
6(2b): But you need those to be strong, right? Are you going to stop pretending to be a hero?
7(3b): No way! It's just too hard to mimic the movements of a master. I can only keep up stamina-wise for 20 seconds...
8-9: haa
10: My whole body was sore afterwards.

134)
1: So I thought I'd try and search for another weapon.
2(2b): --what reason do you have to want to fight this much?
3(2b): I can't understand it...in this age...
4: no matter how we struggle...
5: we won't be able to change the world.
6: --I know that the town is in trouble right now.
7(2b): But there's no way I can just go fight terrorists without any sort of backup plan.

135)
1(2b): And if my parents find out about my ESP, all the work and studying I've done up until now will have been for naught...
2: Hohoh.
3: So even you have a future you want to protect.
4: I won't force you to fight.
5: The decision is up to you.

136)
1: Wha
2: An explosion?!
3: No,
4: this is

137)
1: Precognition!!
2: Something's going to happen!!
3: To this crowd of people!
4: screeeech
5: There's no time!!
6: Get down, Murasaki!!

138)
1: Divine Punishment!!

139)
1: Kyaaa

140)
1: Uwahhhh
2: Kuh
3: What happened?!
4(2b): Lightning?! On a sunny day like this?!

141)
1: Hoo...
2: I saw light...coming out from him.
3: Is he an ESPer?!
4: Uu...my ears...
5: It can't be...
6: Is this terrorism?!

142)
1: Guh...
2: It all happened in an instant...
3-4: haa
5: Upuh
6: Stand...you racist pig!
7: Uuu...
8: Boehh
9: People of status like you who prey on the weak
10: Awa...
11: are who gave birth to this suffocating world!!

143)
1: Mom!!
2: Kibiiiiiihhh
3: I'll make sure your death is long and excruciating!!
4: Stop...
5: My leg fell asleep...

144)
1: Nuahhh
2: Uhih
3-4: haa
5: Wha...hey...
6: What's she doing? She's just a kid...
7-8: haa
9: Did you throw that...?
10: He's looking this way!! We're gonna die!!

145)
1: Get away from her!!
2: I'm...
3: tired of just...
4: standing and watching...

146)
1: Oh...
2(2b): Well...I hate when kids
3: make fun of me.
4: Wah
5: Murasaki?!
6: Wait...
7: Wait!!

147)
1: This is precognition too!!
2: Uwaaaahhh
3: Wait a minute!!
4(2b): We're sorry!! You're exactly right.
5: I'm really sorry! Please forgive us!!
6: Ayumu-kun!

148)
1: I won't let her do any more stupid stuff!
2: Wah
3: C'mon, apologize!
4: Hmph.
5: Stupid! He can create electric charges...
6: Eh...
7(2b): Electricity moves faster than bullets! If you're shot, you'll be fried in an instant.
8: But...we have to save that woman!
9: Uuu...
10: Uwah...
11: I can't let that happen either...

149)
1: Dammit!
2(2b): Uhh...wait, please don't do that either...
3: Huh?
4: Why did it have to be my mother...
5: Uohhh, this is scary...
6: I can see what's going to happen, so I can't just walk away...
7: Ummm...
8: Shut up, you stupid kid.
9: What, you trying to be a hero?
10: An elementary school girl is being more brave than me!

150)
1: Time for you to turn into ash,
2: Afro.
3: Afro?
4: Calm down...
5: I'm an ESPer too.

151)
1: I have no choice...
2: What?
3: I have no choice but to fight him.
4: All the futures I can see here
5: involve me changing the trajectory of his electricity with my belt or some metal.
6: But...according to my precognition,
7: In 90% of those, I miss!!

152)
1: What should I do?
2: I need to search for something! Within two seconds...
3: Otherwise everyone will die.
4-5: haa
6: The tiniest detail can change everything...
7: Something...
8: So you're a chosen one, too?
9: There should be something.
10: Something that can change the future...

153)
1: The water pipe?!
2: Nu?!

154)
1: Nowahhh
2: Victories happen in an instant!!

155)
1: Kuh...
2: Gunuh...!!
3: He's tough!! Guess I didn't hit hard enough.
4: That means...
5: You...
6: We'll knock each other out!!
7: Damn!

156)
1: Dragon Remember!!!
2: Oaajaaaahh!

158)
1: Oahhh
2(2b): Shit...I got shocked...
3(2b): me too. I can't move.

159)
1: You overdid it...
2: You're still just an elementary schooler...
3: But...
4: You did save me...
5-6: haa
7: It felt a little...
8: like a miracle.
9: Uu...
10: Ayumu...?

160)
1: You're...
2: an ESPer...?
3: Gotcha.
4: Ahh!

SCENE 15 - Special Training: The Way of the Dragon

1)
1: Hey, stop being a jackass and get over here!
2: Is he gonna kill himself? Why did he pick our building?!
3: Shut up!
4(2b): No one in this company needs me! You're shit! This whole world is shit!
5: That's Sakamoto-kun...we fired him last month!
6: He used to work here?!
7: Look...I'm one of the chosen ones...!

68)
1: Long live the ESP district!!

69)
1(2b): Electromagnetic interference cut off the video feed, but it seems that the falling lightning injured many people.
2: We are not sure where the man is right now.
3(3b): If this turns out to be another case of ESP terrorism, then it may have some effect on the government's deliberations over the "ESP Regulations."
4: This is scary!
5: Yeah.

70)
1: August...
2(2b): Seventy...nine...
3: Summer vacation's already half over.
4: Hoo!
5: Eighty...
6: Mornings are nothing but roadwork and workouts, as usual...
7-8: Haa
9: It's so hot!
10: In the afternoons
11: Oww!
12: we do individual training.

71)
1: Peh!
2: Guh...16!!
3: Peh!
4(2b): Repeated teleportation...is really h-hard...
5: Pepehhhhh!!
6(small on left and right): Stand up! Don't go to sleep!
7: Umm...
8: Ohh...I got a match!
9(small): concentration game
10(2b): You're out of time. Keep doing it until you can find them all within 5 minutes!
11: Uehhh!!

72)
1(2b): --Let me repeat: this isn't to train clairvoyance or memory.
2: You need to focus on "the thoughts of the person who played with these cards before."
3: Use psychometry to discern the numbers.
4: Absorb those memories...
5(2b): quicker, deeper, more accurately.
6(small): She's great, isn't she? That's why I bought the DVD!
7: Mmm...you really do have great taste.
8: I hate how I have to see all this excess stuff.
9: Concentrate,
10: concentrate!!

73)
1(2b): Summer vacation will be over so soon.
2: Hah
3: Ahh!
4: Waaaahh!
5(2b): Hey...why am I the only one who isn't doing ESP training?!
6: What's with all this sparring?!
7: This isn't normal sparring. You're not allowed to leave the circle.

74)
1(2b): The circle? You mean this rope?! I feel so cramped in here!
2: Really? Maybe it's because you keep trying to kick.
3: What I'm going to teach you now
4: is something I taught your father and numerous policemen.
5: It's a suppression-style of martial arts.
6: It's called CPC: Cross Panda Combat.
7(3b): Imagine yourself fighting numerous opponents in a small room. This is Panda-style close combat, which combines Kali and Aiki, designed for those types of situations!!

75)
1(2b): Resist using punches, kicks, and thrusts, attacks that only agitate the opponent.
2(2b): Instead, watch his movements, and push, pull, and twist!
3: You will knock them off their center of gravity and down them by using minimal strength!
4: Higih!
5: Then, you must immobilize them immediately.
6: Owww.
7: Th...that last part is so plain!!

76)
1: I'm...getting dizzy from being thrown so much.
2: You sure complain a lot.
3: I have my part-time job now, master, so I must leave.
4: --ever since that day,
5(2b): the world's been in emergency mode. I know I can't be selfish now, but...
6: At this rate, I'll just keep getting beat up, and summer will end...
7: I just...wanted to go to the beach, at least once...
8: I AM a high school student...
9: Hmm...
10: Guess I have no choice...

77)
1(2b): "Oozora Ayumu." He's one of my disciples, an 8th-grader.
2: You'll be sparring with him from today.

78)
1(2b): Hey...hold on a minute, master. I have to start taking high school exams next year.
2: I have summer classes too, you know!
3(2b): Huh? Who cares about that? Stop being so selfish.
4: Uwahhh, he's arguing.
5: Is this really OK?
6: This isn't about selfishness...
7: I have tests every day at cram school!
8: Is he a really serious student?
9: Pehhh.
10: It really feels like he was forced to come here...
11: He's got an afro...
12: It's a natural perm...
13: Who just said I had an afro?
14: He's mad?!

79)
1: Bugih!!
2: Gehah!
3: Kali?!
4: Hohoh! That's what you get for letting your guard down.

80)
1: Weak.
2: I don't have time for this. Next!
3: Azuma-san!!
4: Alright.
5: So master taught this guy and my father Kali...
6: I won't go easy on you because you're a girl!
7: Wait a minute...
8: He's really agile!!
9: Fight as if this is a real battle.
10: Incidentally, if you can beat him, you get to have a vacation on the beach.

81)
1: Beach?!
2: But I don't have a swimsuit!!
3: Guhah!
4: Concentrate, dammit!
5(2b): Are you underestimating me? I came all the way here for you...
6: This is why I hate girls!
7: I've got to fight seriously.
8: My beach vacation depends on it...

82)
1: --come at me, "white girl."
2(2b): I heard about you from master.
3: AND I saw you on TV.

83)
1: Huh? His reactions are so quick.
2: He dodged her easily!
3: Hm...?
4: I can't believe you call yourself a hero at this level...
5: Owww!
6: Please don't think you're ready to fight terrorists.
7: It seems like he's dodging me...
8: before I even attack!

84)
1: Guahh!
2: If all you care about is beach vacations,
3(2b): and shit like that, then you should just quit training.
4: You're a child.
5: Self-centered!
6: Gahah!
7: Rinka-san!!

85)
1: Guh...
2: Alright.
3: What'll it be, elementary school kid?
4: You're up next.
5: Ah...
6(2b): --Just kidding. I'm going home.
7: It's plain to see you aren't a "combat type."

86)
1: I have cram school now, so I gotta go.
2(2b): I don't have time to mess around with self-satisfied girls.
3: Uuu...I couldn't even more.
4: You alright?
5: It's strange...
6: He isn't as fast as master.
7: It was like he was...
8: predicting which way I'd attack.

87)
1: Pathetic! All three of you couldn't last more than 5 minutes!!
2: What have you been doing over this past month?!
3: You need to push yourselves to the limit more!!
4: Master...I have a question.
5: Does he have ESP too?
6: No comment!
7: Think about it on your own.
8: OK then...
9: I guess I'll give it a try...

88)
1: H...he grabbed it!!
2: From behind!
3: So cool.
4: It's almost like he knew it was coming...

89)
1: But...
2: Stop! We're done fighting!
3: Give it up already!
4: Now, now.
5: I know you may think it's rude
6: that I'm being this persistent, but...

90)
1(2b): Dammit! He's teleporting!
2: There!
3: Gotcha.
4: He got him?!
5: That wasn't fair!! You didn't get me!
6: No one could dodge that!
7(2b): Hahaha! But you were using ESP too, right?

91)
1(2b): I mean, if we lose track of this town...
2: then you won't even have a place to take all your exams.
3: So, I'm sorry, but...
4: Please spar with us a bit longer.
5: Wait...
6: Don't tell me his ESP ability is...

92)
1(2b): P...prognostication?!
2: I knew it.
3(2b): Yeah...but.
4: He can't only predict things that happen two seconds ahead.
5: Guehh?!

93)
1: Two seconds? That's all?
2(3b): Probably. If he could do it longer, then we probably wouldn't have met him on his way home,
3: and he would have been able to think up a counterattack to my teleporting.
4: He's probably
5(2b): constantly seeing the world two seconds ahead from how it actually is.
6(2b): Of course, even with his ability,
7: there still must be a limit on how fast his brain processes things.

94)
1(2b): Which means...if you found a way to perfect the 100-hit punch to a speed that exceeds his reaction time...
2: Wahh!!
3: Impossible!!
4: But
5: honestly, Ayumu-kun
6: seems strong enough already without his ESP.
7: Asuma-san's attack back there...
8-9: hah
10: reminded me of Minami's teleport attack.

95)
1: --which means that not even Ayumu-kun
2: Gyahah
3: could beat Minami?
4: And then I...
5-6: hah
7: can't even beat Ayumu-kun...
8: If all you care about is beach vacations
9: and shit like that, then you should just quit training.
10: I won't be able to beat her as long as I live.
11: Maybe I have been
12: slacking off a bit too much...

96)
1: I need to get stronger.
2-3: hah
4: This is something I decided on.
5: I need to think...
6(2b): about how to push myself to my utmost limit.

97)
1: Am I really doing
2: all that I can?
3: Am I really a non-combatant...?
4(2b): Isn't there any way I can use my ESP for battle?
5: Pehhh!
6(2b): No, Peggy! Don't play in my bag!
7: Kweh?
8: Rinka-san's batons?

98)
1: You know what...I've never read a weapon...
2: It's spilling into my head.
3(2b): Rinka-san's fighting style...her physical movements...
4: I wonder if I...
5: could imitate them?

99)
1: Eh?
2: My body...just moved on its own...
3: I-I'm sorry!
4: Are you alright?!

100)
1: Huh?
2: Good morning, master!
3-4: hah
5: We already finished our roadwork and workouts!
6: You sure finished up early today.
7: You must have started at the break of dawn...
8: Where's Murasaki-chan?
9(2b): She's doing solo training at her house.
10: I guess she discovered something.
11: Master...

101)
1: Please teach me about CPC
2: from the beginning again.
3: Hmm...
4(2b): I've once again realized just how small I am...
5: It sure looks like it.
6: In that case, you need to put out some real effort this time...

102)
1: The true secret of CPC lies in countering.
2: Every opponent makes an opening for themselves when they attack.
3: If you get attacked, then you must attack.

103)
1: Use the enemy's power and lock them.
2: Continue this thousands,
3: no, tens of thousands of times.
4: Make your body memorize that split-second timing,
5: and those specialized movements
6: until you develop conditioned reactions.

104)
1: At last,
2: the final day of summer vacation came...
3: I can't believe he actually came.
4: He does have a strong sense of duty, you know.
5(2b): She isn't attacking me. She doesn't want to go first?
6: Last time,
7: I thought it'd just be normal fighting, but it did seem like she caught my stick.

105)
1: Progno-View
2: No matter how many times I simulate it now,
3: Physical transparency will render my attack useless.
4: And no matter what kind of pattern I attack with,
5: she'll counter me.
6: But I can't just stand here forever.
7(2b): And as long as I know a counter is coming...

106)
1: I can just counter it myself.
2: He's so agile!!
3: You haven't seen nothing yet.
4: Progno-View
5: She's re-countering me!

107)
1: No more kicks!
2: The more he thinks, the slower he gets.
3: No matter how many moves he reads ahead,
4: he more he thinks,
5: the slower his body gets in catching up.

108)
1: Guahh
2: Gehh
3: Damit!
4: Relying on prognostication
5: makes him overflow and fall into a frenzy.
6: These attacks can easily be countered
7: with minimal power.
8: Gohoh!

109)
1: Rinka has conditioned reactions now.
2(2b): Even if she's pre-empted by 1000 moves, she'll still continue to counter.
3: Nugah

110)
1: This is the Secret CPC Technique -- the Thousand-Armed Counter!!!
2: Owwwww!

111)
1: That's enough.
2: Wha...
3: How could this happen?!
4: Excellent progression in such a short period.
5: In your situation...
6-7: haa
8: Those moves already had taken root in your body thanks to your father...

112)
1: In Ayumu's situation
2: his physical abilities can't keep up with his ESP.
3(2b): Enough out of you! I just let my guard down, that's all!!
4: let me fight her once more!
5: There's no way I could really lose to someone like her!!
6: --in that case
7: Try me next.
8: Wha...
9: We haven't even fought yet...

113)
1: Kweh!
2: I'll fight you seriously.
3: So take a stance unless you want to get hurt.
4: Murasaki-chan...
5: Nunchuks?
6(2b): --This weapon was bought in an auction from a karate master, by my kung-fu movie loving father...

114)
1: Dragon Remember!!
2: Owaachaaaaa!

115)
1: Buohh?!
2: He couldn't keep up...
3: It was too high-speed!!

116)
1: I...
2: Impossible...
3: Hah
4: M-my arm hurts.
5: Hah
6: It's a miracle!!

SCENE 14.5 - PENGUIN LIFE

54)
1: Peggy is a penguin with a flight ESP ability.
2(2b): A penguin?!
3(2b): He lives in this town with Rinka-san and I, even though he hasn't gotten totally used to it yet.
4: Usually, while we're studying,
5: he rolls around on the roof of the school.
6(2b): It's summer vacation now, so once noon rolls around he goes to see his friend.

55)
1: Kwehhhh!!
2: Nyahh
3: Pegaaaaah!!

56)
1: Nyahh
2: Pehhhh!!?
3: Uwahh!
4: What's wrong, Peggy?! You're all beat up!
5: It looks like...he lost in a fight with a stray cat...
6(no bubble): Used psychometry
7: I'm surprised he wasn't eaten.
8: I'm a bit worried.
9: Was it a cat with ESP...?
10: Maybe it fought using teleportation...

57)
1: Or maybe...
2: it had the ability to push time forward...
3: Mabe that cat could "Control time"...
4: Time?!
5: A cat that could stop time...
6: If so, then it'd be in possession of the strongest ability there is...
7: Good thing it's a cat.
8: But it's not totally unbeatable.
9: Do you hurt, Peggy?
10: Pegahh!
11: You have someone
12: you want to protect, don't you?
13: Pegahh!!

58)
1: --then allow me...
2: to teach you the secrets of CPC.
3: You may not have noticed it yourself,
4: but your basic skills are extremely powerful.
5: First, you must draw the enemy into a place where you have the advantage...
6: Stay above them, in their blind spot.
7: Then, before the enemy notices you,
8: launch the most powerful attack you can!

59)
1: CPC Secret Technique: "Surprise Invincible Punch!!"
2: So cowardly!!
3: Pegaahhhh!!
4: Nyagyahh
5: --but that was the moment
6: when Peggy realized.
7: The cat was female,
8: and pregnant as well.
9: You made a new friend...

60)
1: --Peggy mainly eats raw fish.
2(nb): Wow, you're hungry!
3: Therefore, it costs a bit of money to feed him.
4(2b): So Rinka-san's dad works in the fresh fish corner of the supermarket...
5: Welcome!
6(2b): and buys all the leftover fish for cheap.
7(2b): When Peggy gets hungry, he goes off to welcome dad home.
8: But...
9: You people...you're bothering the customers.
10: Huh? Shuddap.
11: You wanna die, grandpa?!

61)
1(2b): Ahh...I can't believe this! We're already losing money...with them loitering, we'll lose even more customers...
2(small): Manager
3: We'll be bankrupt before we know it...
4: Gwehh?!
5(small): Bankrupt
6(small): Dad gets fired
7(small): No fish
8: Pegaaaaahhh!!
9: Gwahh
10: Peggy!!
11: Wh-what was that bird?!
12: Go gather all the boys!
13: Ah well...

62)
1: Thugs annihilated!!
2: Peh!
3: S...so strong...
4: But this was
5: only the beginning of an endless war...
6: The next day...
7(2b): Hey! Looks like you had some fun with our underlings.
8: We're gonna fuck up your store.
9: Hiiieeeee!
10: Pegahhh!!
11: Gehah!
12: Peggy!
13: Incidentally, penguin punches are apparently strong enough to break noses.
14(small): Muscle

63)
1: Ah well...
2: Uwahh!
3: Then, the next day,
4: Hey, bring out the fishman!
5: and the day after that brought only more of them.
6: The two continued fighting.
7: We're sorry
8: Give up already...
9: Kwehhh!
10: Is our store going to be OK?
11: They soon became legends of the town.
12: You get a bonus, Urushiba-kun!!
background text: The evil army was finally defeated!!

64)
1: --even now,
2: Uwahh!
3: passers-by are surprised to see Peggy.
4: I guess the flying makes him stick out.
5: And he IS a penguin...
6: Be careful, or people will come and try to take him away again...
7: The media's scary.
8: I know it's a bit late, but I decided to camouflage him...
9: I have to let him out, or he'll build up stress...
10(small): plastic bag
11: Kweh!
12: A...a ghost?!
13: That just made him stick out more, I think.

65)
1(2b): Huh? Pen-chan has a bag on today?
2: Eh?
3(2b): Too bad, I wanted to pet him! I even brought some fish!
4: Can I give him some?
5: Peh!
6(2b): You're such a good boy! You took out all those mean boys, didn't you?!
7: Thank you!
8: He's cute AND strong!
9: He's friends with the stray cats too.
10(2b): The fat cat doesn't bully people anymore, and he's really helping out the fish shop.
11: Is he your penguin?
12: Umm...

66)
1: Well, he's not really mine...
2: Just a friend of mine...
3(2b): All of a sudden, Peggy was really popular.
4: Thanks to that,
5: I was able to become better friends with the townspeople too.
6: I hope
7: these days will continue forever.

Tokyo ESP #14

tl by molokidan

9)
SCENE 14 // The Melancholy of Black Fist

1: --the mysterious ESPer terrorist organization that invites chaos to the earth...
2(2b): Up until a few weeks ago, no one would have even believed that people like them
3: existed in this world.
4: People were paralyzed with fear of that which they do not understand,
5: and unrest enveloped the town...

10)
1: --Midst all that, I was running
2: with a panda on my shoulder.
3-4: hah
5(2b): Umm...I've been running for two weeks now...
6(2b): Hmm. And, what's your point?
7(2b): Well, this IS training, isn't it? I was wondering if I could finally learn some moves now...
8: It's so hot I could die!
9(2b): Hoho! How naive. You still haven't hit the necessary time. I told you the kind of training we do is up to you, didn't I?

11)
1: Hey, have you heard of that glowing fish?
2: That thing that people keep talking about on twitter?
3: Yeah. If you see it you become an ESPer.
4-5: hah
6: Panda Boob Fist!!
7: Gyaaaaaa!
8(2b): Stop it, you perverted panda!! That's sexual harassment!
9: Hoho!
10(2b): That's my 15th successful touch! You leave yourself open too much.
11: Master...
12: Fuoh...
13(2b): Where did you come from, Urushiba-kun? You're misunderstanding things, really!
14(small): Am I really OK with this panda?

12)
1: --stand tall, newly-awakened ESPers!!
2(2b): It's time to demonstrate your powers, and assist us in the construction of the "Special ESP Ward!!"
3(2b): Crime and accidents that are believed to be connected to ESPers have been increasing since this video was released.
4: They're trying to induce people into terrorism...
5(2b): Press restraints have been put into action...but the opinions of the guys on top haven't come together yet.

13)
1(2b): There's even been talk of arresting every ESPer there is on suspicion of terrorism.
2: The world's really been moving while I've been busy training.
3: Is it really OK for me to be relaxing like this?
4: Rinka-san, try this on.
5(2b): Ooooh, these are cool! These shoes look expensive.
6(small): She changed in the bathroom
7(2b): Good, it looks like it fits you. I bought it for you.
8: Eh?

14)
1: Nooo, nooo!! I have no money to pay you back!
2: It's a gift.
3: Heroes need costumes, right?
2: --this is all I can do for you now.
3(2b): If you hadn't been around, I'd have died multiple times.
4: And besides, your house burned down, so you're probably hurting for clothes...
5(2b): Of course, if you don't like them, I can take them back..
6: I'll pay you back someday...
7: Maybe I should hang them up in my room...
8: Just wear 'em, OK?

15)
1: Huh?
2: There's a letter here for you, Kobushi-chan.
letter: To Kokui Kobushi
from Black Fist
3: There's no address...
4: Someone must have brought this here.
5(2b): Huh? It's to me?
6(2b): Isn't Black Fist your thief name, Kobushi-chan? Why would you send a letter to yourself?
7: You're not allowed to look at this!!

16)
1: Where's uncle?
2: He went to work.
3: I'm leaving for a bit.
4: This place stinks of your sweat.
5: Wha
6: That's so rude!
7: I'm the one letting you stay here, you shouldn't speak to me that way!!

17)
1: It's because of that letter.
2: I don't know what's going on...but whatever!
3: That person is violent, AND selfish!
4 I was sick of living with a thief anyway!!
5(2b): You know, I saw a woman from that letter...
6: She had the same sort of aura...
7: Maybe it was a sister...?
8: I did hear that she was from a family of thieves.

18)
1: I did a little research
2-3: hah
4: since you called me yesterday.
5: The Black Fist name Kobushi-chan used to use
6(2b): is the name of a famous thief who worked in London over 100 years ago.
7(2b): 100 years?! How old is she?!
8: Uh...I think she's the same age as us.
9: I think Kobushi-chan just inherited that woman's name?
10(2b): Hmm...all this talk of thieves reminds me of some recent news I heard.
11(small): A penguin and a panda?!

19)
1: Panda Boob Punch!!
2: Uwahh
3: E...excellent.
4: Are you curious about her?
5: My <Remote Viewing> allows me to see everything within a 10km radius...and with someone I know, I can generally grasp their location.
6: What is that girl
7: to you?

20)
1: That reminds me...
2(2b): If I get married to Uncle, that'd make you my sister-in-law.
3: ...are you being serious?
4: You like older men?
5: No, you idiot.
6: I've lived as a stray
7: ever since I was a kid...
8: I guess I feel
9: kind of relaxed...
10: This is a first
11: for me.

21)
1(2b): Sheesh...this is a dreary room, even for me...
2: This is stupid...
3: Thinking won't help anything.

22)
1: Daito Ward - Ueno
2: This is by my work...
3(2b): Are you sure about Kobushi-chan tonight?
4: Mmm...
5: It's dim, so I can't see too well...
6: --but apparently
7: she's fighting with someone.

23)
1: Guh
2: Buohh
3: Dammit, those punches have gotten faster...

24)
1: But...
2: I can still...
3: Ooh!
4: How shameless! That's against the rules, you know!
5: A shield?!
6: --where did it come from...

25)
1: Gohah
2: As usual...
3: You're an animal.

26)
1: Cough
2: Damn...
3: Are you an ESPer now?!
4: Since when...
5(2b): Fufuh! Since I came to Tokyo a week ago.
6(2b): That video was the trigger. I came looking for the glowing fish.
7: Now I can steal whatever I want.
8: You're weaker than me...

27)
1: Uglier than me...
2: And a worse thief than me...
3: Gahh
4: For someone like you
5: to leave behind me, the legitimate successor...

28)
1: and even call yourself Black Fist, to boot!
2: Don't you think you're being a bit too cheeky?
3: Big sister.

29)
1: Bitch...
2: Big sister my ass...
3: I've never thought of you as my sister!
4(2b): And don't tell me you forgot the deal with grandma, about the next successor!
5(2b): Ah, true. The condition was to bring home a treasure that could please grandma.
6(small): Grandma
7(2b): But this isn't a quest for the holy grail, you know. How many years has it taken you so far?

30)
1: --so you're fighting to become the next successor?
2: --where did this cage come from, anyway...
3: Wahh!! What are you doing here?!
4: It was probably teleported in...
5: But not the type where you teleport yourself, like Azuma...
6: The abilities to teleport objects in from far away and make them disappear are apport and asport, respectively...
7: Sai Baba-style teleportation.
8: Go away!! What did you come here for?!

31)
1(3b): Huh? But if we leave you in here, you'll get arrested again...
2: --then I'll just escape again, stupid!!
3(2b): Why do you always have to be so mean?! I came here because I was worried about you!
4: I never asked you to!!
5: Kyaaaa! These two are sooo cute!!
6: Kuehh
7: Uhoh
8: Are these your friends?!

32)
1(2b): You've really changed, sister! You used to be such a lone wolf.
2(2b): It's probably because of these two that you lost your fangs, hmm?
3: Ho?!
4: Ho...

33)
1: Hoooo
2: Pegiiiii
3: They disappeared?!
4(2b): Wait, you!! I'm the fiend known as Crow Head!!

34)
1(2b): A very serious event for us ESPers is happening in this city right now!
2: Please, listen to what I have to say before you fight!!
3: Gyaaaah!!
4: Azuma-san!!
5: He lost way too fast!!
6(2b): Be careful! If she touches you, she can send you off somewhere!!
7: What does she mean by
8: "somewhere?!"

35)
1: Kyaaaa! There's another one!
2(2b): Another man?! You pervert!!
3: We won't let you leave here alive!
4: Guehh
5: Th...
6: This is hell!

36)
1: --What's going on here? I don't enjoy being mocked.
2: Either disappear or die, OK?
3: Just go, Rinka...
4(2b): You can't beat her! Besides, this has nothing to do with you!
5: Well...you're right, I might not be able to win...
6: And you may not have asked for this...

37)
1: But it pisses me off...
2: Even if it was just for a second...
3: You were like family to me.
4: Family...?

38)
1: Wah!
2: She dodged?!

39)
1: Hm...?
2(2b): It feel sort of like...my body is moving on its own.
3: I...I can't believe it...
4: but it must be because of the training...
5: Panda Boob Punch!!
6(small): Caution up
7: 15 successes!
8: Enough already!!
9: Reaction time up
10: 40 blocks!
11(small): Body movement up
12(small): Leg movement up
13: Wha
14(2b): Wait, this girl's attacks...are more direct than Minami's, and easier to dodge.

40)
1: I might be able
2: to grab her...

41)
1: --wh...what's with you...?
2: Uwahh
3: Please die!!
4: --er...
5: watch out...
6: Uehh?!

42)
1: Special Technique: Moai Drop!!!

44)
1-2: haa
3: What was that...
4: Hieee!!
5: Wh...why won't she die?!
6: This is the one that was in Shibuya...
7: Where did she bring the guns from, then...?

45)
1: She might be more dangerous than Kobushi-chan...
2: D...don't come any closer!
3: I'll have to knock her out and search for Peggy...
4: You monster...!!
5: Wait, Rinka...

46)
1: --she's my enemy.
2: Don't embarrass me any further.
3: You were able to get out...?
4: Ahh
5: Fufufu...someone butted in and spoiled our fun, sister!!

47)
1(2b): Shut up. Save me the B-movie lines and come back when you can take me.
2(2b): Wha?! You're the one who was in trouble here!!
3: Next time...
4: I'll punch you until you piss blood!!
5: She has a license...?
6: No, she isn't old enough.

48)
1(2b): So, Kobushi-chan...you were after the fish's stone in order to inherit the Black Fist name?
2(2b): Yeah, pretty much...
3: Why didn't you use your ESP?
4: Because that isn't fair.
5: I didn't know she could use ESP in the beginning.
6: I have my preferences when it comes to fighting.

49)
1(2b): You know, my punches are just so strong, that I have to be careful or else I'd kill her.
2: I was even holding back when we fought, you know.
3: But I still have to hit you, or it'd be pointless.
4: I'm not trying to make excuses for my loss.
5: Just as my little sister said,
6(2b): Right now...I've lost my fangs.
7: You don't like yourself this way?

50)
1: I'm no good.
2(2b): I'll have to go solo for a while...and sharpen my fangs.
3: Thievery aside...
4: Watching that battle
5: made me want to fight you again.

51)
1: Get a little stronger.
2: Then I'll get even stronger than that.
3: Next time we meet,
4: I'll break you in half. So get ready.
5: Heey, Rinka-saan!
6: Azuma-san.

52)
1: Huh?
2: Hmmm...
3: Gotta keep
4: training.
5: Shibuya
6: The moai head's gone.

Chapter 12 - Nobunaga's Souvenir

1: Dewa no Kuni - Yonezawa
2: Doumori Mountain, Tsukimidaira
3: Hey, moon...
4: I'm not supposed to tell anyone about what happens next...

118)
1: But...
2: You may have already seen it yourself...
Chapter 12 - Nobunaga's Souvenir

119)
1: The blood and tears of many were spilled because of this...
2: Hoo.
3: Because of the souvenir
4: Nobunaga gave to Yoroku...!

120)
1: It was a trap
2: meant to seal the Uesugi clan within Echigo, and steal their dreams of unification!
3: Because of it,
4: Yoroku abandoned himself...

121)
1: The young Yoroku,
2: chose "duty!!"
3: The japanese kanji symbol for "duty" combines the two symbols for "Self" and "Sheep." In this case, the "sheep" symbol is synonymous with the symbol for "beauty." Therefore, "duty" in Japanese means to "beautify oneself." I repeat: To follow one's duty means to life beautifully.

123)
1: Hoh...
2: Shindou Nagaharu
3: He was a special steward to Konoe Makihisa who dealt with regents, advisors, and domestic politics. At this time, Makihisa had been ordered by Nobunaga to travel to Kyushu in order to make peace with the leaders of the Tsushima and Sagara clans. Shindou dealt with all matters during his absence.
4: So this
5: is the cypress fan!
6: Yes, my lord.
7: Lord Makihisa's younger sister, Tae-hime, owned it.
8: It's a memento to her.

124)
1: I heard that she was very beautiful...
2: Yes, my lord.
3: She was an ephemeral being...
4: It's been 16 years since she passed away...
5: My lord.
6: Master Hashiba and Master Higuchi Yoroku have arrived.
7: Wha?!

125)
1(2b): Mmm. Send them in.
2: Wahaha!
3: Eheheh!
4: I heard that today's present
5: is one that Lord Nobunaga hand-picked himself!
6: You're quite the lucky fellow, you know!

126)
1: You make it sound like YOU'RE the one who's really getting the present.
2: What's wrong?
3: Is there something on my face?
4: N...no, sir.
5: Sorry, but I just saw someone who looks very similar to you...
6(2b): So...I was just...s-surpirsed...please excuse me.
7: Hoh.

127)
1: And who would that be?
2: I'm sure you're familiar with him, Master Hashiba...
3(2b): It was just..umm, an accidental resemblance...
4: Like I said, who is it?
5: Ehee?!
6: The truth is, I was also thinking about how Master Yoroku resembles a certain someone...
7: But I just couldn't remember the person's name!
8: Weeeeell?
9: Th...then
10: I shall name him!

128)
1: It's
2: Lord Konoe Makihisa!
3: Eh?
4: I look like him?
5: Well, well!
6: You think I look like such a regal person, huh?!
7: Tahahaha!

129)
1: Hiiee!

130)
1: Yoroku.

131)
1: Why
2: is Shindou, one of Lord Makihisa's stewards here...?

133)
1: I, Higuchi Yoroku,,
2: have arrived.
3: Ohh...

134)
1: Well, Shindou?!
2: Yes.
3: W...without a doubt...
4: He looks just like...
5: Tae-hime...

135)
1: That noble child
2: has grown to become such a beautiful young man...
3: Hm?!
4: Wh...what is he crying for?!

136)
1(2b): D...d...
2: Don't tell me?!
3: This was the real reason why
4: Lord Nobunaga allowed Yoroku to meet him?!

197)
1: For how many weeks did we walk...? My body felt as heavy as lead.
2: I couldn't even turn back to look at my friends, screaming "Take me with you..."
3: I knew that tomorrow, I might be in their shoes.
4: This was "land's end." Everyone knew it.

198-199)
1: 1945, in Northern Manchuria.

200)
1: In 1936, Japan planned to send 5 million people to the puppet state of Manchuria in order to push forward the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. In 1937, they decided to migrate young men as agricultural laborers over to Manchuria in order to create the new nation they hoped for. They were known as the "Emigration Youth Troops to Manchuria." However, in 1945, Japan's situation worsened. When defeat became imminent, the Kwantung Army abandoned 3/4 of Manchuria and fled to the south...instantly changing the goal of the youth left behind from cultivation to war.
2: This is the gate of grudges.
2: I'm the gatekeeper, Izuko.

201)
1: Wada Yoshifumi-kun.
2: You were killed 65 years ago and became a spirit.
3: 65 years ago...

202)
1: What are you saying?!
2: More importantly, do you know the status of the war?
3: The war has ended...
4: The place were you died has been excavated, and your body was recovered.
5: You must pick one out of the following three paths...
6: The first is to accept your death, ascend into heaven, and watch to be reincarnated.
7: The second is to become a spirit in limbo and wander the material world.

203)
1: And the third
2: is to curse a single human to death.
3: However, those who kill humans will go to hell and suffer without any hope of reincarnation.
4: Those are your rights.
5: You have 12 days to make your decision.
6: Umm...
7: Can I ask a question?
8: Yes.

204)
1: I can't believe that I'm dead.
2: Alright then.
3: Allow me to show you
4: what happened that day.

206)
1: Wada.
2: Listen closely.
3: There's no one left who can carry you.
4: You'll have to stand on your own legs now.

207)
1: I'm sorry...commander.
2: I...can't stand anymore.
3: My body...feels so heavy. I can't walk.
4: Stop being a weakling!!
5: You can walk, Wada.
6: Don't you want to go back home?!
7: I can't.
8: Not when I'm this hungry.
9: Although,
10: I am afraid of being left in this vast land all alone.

208)
1: Please, commander.
2: Put me out of my misery.

210)
sfx: bang

211)
1-3: hah

212)
1: Sanpei...you look really tired.
2: Wear this.
3(2b): No, sir. I cannot steal your jacket, sir.
4: Just wear it!
5: No, sir!

213)
1: This isn't stealing.
2: I'm giving this to you.
3: Now wear it,
4: and return home.

214)
1: Did you remember now?
2: A man named Shigemune Morio killed you.
3: What happened to the commander?
4: Since he killed another human, he will go to hell.
5: To hell?

215)
1: But...
2: He's still alive,
3: in the material world.
4: The commander's alive?!

217)
1: Japan has changed so much.
2: It looks like 65 years really have passed.
3: Everyone's walking so fast.
4: These people
5: have probably never experienced hunger.
6: Fizz, boil, steam...
7: The town's full of full-stomach sounds.

218)
grave: Wada Family Grave
1: Father, mother...
grave 2: Feb. 14 1960
Feb. 14 1960
May 20 1948
2: Fumiko died too.

219)
1: The Wada family is no more.
2: It's all my fault.
3: I thought I could help my poor family,
4: so I took Commander Shigemune's offer.
5: Go to Manchura, become a landowner, and make your parents proud.

221)
1: I'm sorry.
2: I couldn't even feed my family a single rice ball.

222)
1: I'm moved.
2: You're quite a man, even though you're only 15.

223)
1: No I'm not...
2: I just listened to what the adults told me.
3: And look what happened.
4: There were no dreams to be had in Manchuria.
5: The country abandoned us,
6: and we were sent to the battlefield.
7: Hey, Izuko-san.
8: Tell me something.

224)
1: What should people like me have believed?
2: The only answer is inside yourself.
3: You have to decide what to believe in.

225)
1: Want to go see
2: what happened to the adult you believed in?
3: Yes.

226)
1: The Commander's here...?!
2: Yes.
3: Shigemune Morio returned to Nagano after he was picked up, and worked as a teacher.
4: He raised two sons and a daughter without trouble, and lived a happy life.
5: A happy...
6: life...
7: But since he killed me, he's going to hell.

227)
1: He only has 3 days left to live...
2: Then he'll go to hell.
3: ...3 days...

228)
1: Commander...

229)
1: Who's there?

230)
1: I don't care who you are.
2: But if you're there, then can I ask a favor of you...?
3: I can't stand, speak, or see anymore.
4: My body feels so heavy I can't move.
5: You may not be able to understand,
6: but this is a living hell.
7: So, please.
8: Can you push that switch for me?

231)
1: Put me out of my misery...

232)
1: How can you say something like that in such an abundant world?
2: You can't take your own life.

233)
1: Saying things like that will anger all your dead comrades.
2: You must live on until the end.
3: For us.

234)
1: Commander Shigemune!
2: Stand!!

235)
1: Izuko-san.

236)
1: If I say that I wasn't killed, can you keep the commander from going to hell?
2: That wasn't murder.
3: He was helping me.
4: It was during wartime.
5: The adults had it bad, too.
6: So please, save him.
7: To erase a grudge.

237)
1: Choice
2: confirmed.
3-6: hah

238)
1-5: hah
6: I won't give up.
7: I'll stand...for them.
8: Sh...
9: Shigemune-san!

239)
1: Walk! Back to the motherland!

240)
1(2b): If the commander hadn't given me his jacket then, I wouldn't have returned alive.
2: I, Sanpei Goro,
3: owe my life to my commander.

242-3)
1: ...Wa
2: Wada...?

244)
1: Commander!
2: I've been waiting.
3: Why
4: did you wait for me?
5: Because you took care of me when I was alive.
6: ...but...

245)
1: Commander!
2: Can you still walk?
3: We've got a long road ahead of us.

246)
1: Roger.
2: March on.
3: Yes sir!

248)
1: Go on, and live.

1: Welcome to the gate of grudges.
2: I'm the gatekeeper, Izuko.
#4 - Bell of Time

154-55)
1: Yakune Masakazu-san...
2: You died in the material world and are now a spirit.

156)
1: You'll have to pick one out of the following three paths.
2: The gate of grudges--
3: Souls who have been murdered or killed in unforeseen accidents come here.
4: The first...is to accept your death, ascend into heaven, and watch to be reincarnated.
5: The second...is to become a spirit in limbo and wander the material world.
6: The third...is to curse a single human to death.

157)
1: However,
2: those who choose to kill will fall straight into hell and suffer without any hope of reincarnation.
3: You have 12 days to decide.

158)
1: Miss.
2: Are you saying I'm dead?
3: Yes.
4: You died in an accident at work.

159)
1: I can't believe it...
2: If I'm dead, then my physical clock should stop.
3: But, you know,
4: I can still feel it.
5(2b): Right now, it's 11:04 AM on the 27th.
6: Yes, it is.
7: I knew it.
8: Alright, I'll be leaving now.
9: Gotta get back before 12.

161)
1: I used to make clocks.
2: I think I was good at it.
3: Everyone who held one called it a "work of art."

162)
1: In my busiest times, I received orders from all over the world...
2: I gave them all my best work.
3: However,
4: all that hard work eventually robbed me of my eyesight.
5: I lost pretty much all of it.

163)
1: My health hadn't been too good, and I had a wife, so I decided to close up shop at 72 years and 98 days, at 4:36.
2: I had only ever focused on my work, and didn't do anything for my wife, so I told her to go on and live her "second life."
3: I left the city,
4: and move to an island
5: where the nature was beautiful and the air was clean.
6: The nature...how would I describe it?

164)
1: Luckily, I found a job...
2: ringing a bell in a church once per hour.
3: No matter where I went, I couldn't escape time.
4: No.

165)
1: I myself had become a clock.
2: I became
3: time itself.

166)
1: boong

167)
1: Oh no.
2: I'll be...late.
3: Hurry.
4: Time mustn't
5: fall behind.

171)
1: Izuko.
2: Seems like that man's soul was being controlled by time.
3: Yes.
4: Humans can only change so much in one lifetime.
5: Through working with clocks and dealing with time, he let time completely possess him, until he became a man that does not even forgive the slightest error in counting.
6: What will you do, Izuko?
7: At this rate he'll just keep counting.

172)
1: Time runs equally for all.
2: But people are free to feel time as they wish...
3: Let's try an experiment.
4: See if he can "use" time.
5: Yakune-san.
6: You are blind, correct?

173)
1: You should be able to see me clearly now with your spirit's eyes.
2: You're right.
3: Well?
4: Want to go see the world you left?
5: It's alright.
6: The people in the material world can't see you the way you are now.
7: They can't see me...

175)
1: Toko...
2: How is she, Father?
3: Mmm.
4: Father Sawai.

176)
1: She doesn't have any relatives?
2: No.
3: Father!
4: ...h-he really can't see me...?
5: We can't do anything more for her.
6: We'll just have to put her in a facility.
7: Facility...?
8: Understood. I'll make preparations.
9: Sorry. Thank you.

177)
1: Honey,
2: can I come over now?

178)
1: I out
2: of time...

179)
1: ...out of
2: time...?
3: Toko...
4: What are you saying?
5: Time is always accurate. It never misses a beat.
6: Are you sure?

180)
1: Maybe you only believe that time works that way.
2: Don't be ridiculous!
3: If time wasn't accurate, then how would people live their lives?!
4: You simply don't want to accept the errors...
5: of time...and of people...

181)
1: Yakune-san. Do you remember the watch you presented to your wife when you married her?
2: Of course.
3: That was the best watch I ever made. I put all my heart into it.
4: Is it still accurately keeping time now?
5: Go and see for yourself.

182)
1-3: tick
4: Well?
5: ...it's six seconds...
6: off...

183)
1: Errors will always eventually appear in man-made things.
2: But it's also man who can fix them.
3: Toko...
4: You and I...
5: were six whole seconds off?

184)
1: Want to fix it?
2: What do you mean?
3: I'll stop the material world for six seconds and send you down.

185)
1: Six seconds...
2: How you use that time is up to you.

186)
1: Oh, dear...
2: this morning...
3: Our watch stopped moving.
4: I guess
5: I really am out of time.

187)
1: Izuko-san.
2: If I can prevent my wife from committing suicide in those six seconds, can you have her wait here?
3: Yes.
4: Choice confirmed.
5: kweh

188)
1: Could it be?
2: Is that you, honey?

189)
1: I was wrong.
2: It's OK for time to be off now and then.
3: Even if it isn't accurate,
4: our time together is still precious.
5: Therefore,
6: I want you to keep your time going.
7: Live it all out.
8: Promise me.

190)
1-6: I will come for you.

191)

107)
1: Umm...
2: I'm sorry, sensei.
3: I wasn't...being bullied at all.
4: Student of Class 6-1: Oishi Chiemi
5: I'm really alright now.
6: Don't come near me anymore, OK?
7: You creep me out.

108)
1: Don't come near me.
2: You creep me out.

4-5: kin-kon
6: Is this some kind of joke?

111)
1: How long are you going to keep sleeping for?
2: You only have 12 days to make your decision.
3: Cockroach...
4: bacteria...that's what they called her.

112)
1: It was all written in the letter.
2: My student was being bullied.
3: I had to do something.
4: I thought I was doing the right thing.
5: "That was just a joke. Don't come near me anymore. You're creepy."
6: I don't get it.
7: What happened?!

113)
1: Nakamura-san.
2: Do you understand that you're dead?

4: I'm dead now...?

8: I guess funerals are tiring if you aren't used to them.

117)
1: That idiot.
2: Hooo.
3: Hey, dad.
4: I heard some other teachers talking today.
5: Apparently Toshio's class
6: had a lot of disruptions.
7: He received proper training.
8: That can't be true.

118)
1: Just because a teacher is trained doesn't mean he can stop every single disruption...
2: No.
3: I even taught him everything I knew about teaching.
4: Kids are scary these days.
5: They aren't the same as when you were teaching.
6: Hearing the teachers talk made me think of something.
7: Stop it.
8: Maybe Toshio
9: was broken up over what was happening

119)
1: and jumped on to the tracks on purpose.
2: beep beep

120)
1-2: shiver
3: You were attacked by your student.

121)
1: But you don't want to admit it, do you?
2: I never thought
3: he'd get hit by a train.
4: Yeah.

122)
1: I heard
2: a squishing sound.
3: I just thought if I wrote that fake letter
4: and had Oishi pretend to stalk me, we could get him to quit.
5: But instead he exploded.
6: Well, there's nothing we could do about it. Forget about it, Oishi.
7(2b): O...okay.
8: Either way,
9: Nakamura's been broken.

123)
1: Right now,
2: you're just like those children.
3: It's your turn to be bullied now, but you can bear it.
4: You're just waiting for it to pass.
5: That's all
6: I can do.
7: How incompetent.

124)
1: You're a teacher.
2: At the very least, you have influence over children's lives.

125)
1: The fact that you died doesn't even seem realistic to you.
2: Can you face the children now, knowing that they're focused on your death?
3: Nakamura Toshio-sensei...
4: What did you want to teach your children?

126)
1: I didn't
2: want to teach them anything.

127)
1: I realize it myself.
2: I've never once decided anything in my life.
3: My father was a teacher, so he made me become one.
4: Then I finally got my own class.
5: They disobeyed me
6: and caused lots of trouble.
7: I was afraid of my students.

128)
1: I was afraid of those forty, cold glares, from the bottom of my heart.
2: Then
3: Oishi showed me the bullying letter.
4: I was so happy.
5: She was counting on me.
6: Despite how I was.

129)
1: Despite how pathetic I am.
2: sniff
3: eee...
4: gulp...

130)
1: I'll be filling in for Nakamura-sensei from today.
2: My name is Nishimoto Katsuo.
3: I've experienced a lot in the 26 years I've been a teacher.
blackboard: Nishimoto Katsuo
4: I've heard that this class has been making trouble.

131)
1: And I can guess that you all drove Nakamura-sensei into a dead end.
2: Let me be frank.
3: You all simply decided to bully Nakamura-sensei, since he was the weakest one in the class.

132)
1: Now, I'm not stupid enough to play along with your little games of pain.
2: Neither am I that weak.
3(2b): As far as I could research, this class's leader is
4: Fujishiro.
5: You.

133)
1: Search for someone to bully amongst yourselves.
2: No matter what happens, you all deserve to receive compulsory education.
4: Do not
5: forget that.
6-7: ding dong

134)
board: Oishi - this is all your fault. MURDERER
1: What's with that Nishimoto guy?
2: You can't say that to those kids!

135)
1: How could he be so inconsiderate?!
2: That's horrible.
3: So horrible!
4: Is there anything I can do?
5: Anything I can teach them?

136)
1: Ahh.
2: What?!
3: Yes, there is a way.
4: Can you let me stand
5: in front of them one more time?

137)
1: Just once more.
2: Please.
3: I want to teach them something.
4: Fine.
5: I can make you appear in their dreams all at once.
6: Really?!
7: However,
8: only for five minutes.
9: It's alright.
10: Five minutes should be enough.

139)
1: Thanks for coming
2: everyone.

140-141)
1: Today's my last class for you all.
2: Listen carefully.
3: As you already know, I died in an accident.
4: It wasn't Oishi's fault.
5: It was a complete accident.
6: But I learned something important from it.

142)
1: Death is NOT the end of people!
2: And
3: I can be reborn and try again!

143)
1: Well? Amazing, isn't it?
2: I'm dead, but I'm totally fine.
3: Here's my point, everyone.
4: You don't need to be afraid of living.

144)
1: I'm gonna become
2: A J Leaguer.
3: C'mon, let's go home.
4: We have school again tomorrow.
5: Wh...what?
6: C'mon, guys! This is important!
7: HEY!

145)
1: We ARE living.
2: And there's no way we'd
3: die so easily.

147)
1: It may hurt, but that's that.

148)
1: Your time's up. Your soul will ascend to heaven.
2: You cannot make a choice now.

149)
1: ...I'm
2: afraid of being reborn...
3: Next time, those children will teach you.
4: I wonder...
5: what you'll learn?

150)
1: Come.

151)
1: Go on and live.

6: Some people even threaten me...

68)
1: You should just die...
2: Useless
3: bitch.
4: Stop it!
5: Just forgive me!

69)
1: It's now 4 AM.
2: We filled up the gas and sealed all the gaps in the windows.
3: She mixed sleeping pills in with some alcohol and drank it.
4: Now's the time, Dowser. We'll all follow right after you.

70)
1: Wait for us.
2: Hm?
3(2b): What is this?
4: Hey!
5: Stop it!

71)
1: beep
2: No way.
3: fzzzzz
4: W...wow...

74)
1: He died three months after he found out about his disease last year.
2: It was so sudden that he couldn't accept his own death.
3: mumble

75)
1: What is
2: that woman carrying?
3: Her child already went through the gate and ascended to heaven.
4: Because her child's soul is pure.
5: mumble
6: She wanted to live, but she couldn't.
7: Because she forgave someone who wasted human life.

76)
1: They're going back to from where they came.

77)
1: She wanted to live,
2: but she couldn't.

78)
1: Souls in limbo can only ascend to heaven once someone has a memorial for their souls.

79)
1: I've been thinking, man.
2: If that video was real, then that means Kitazawa-san was being attacked by vengeful spirits.
3: I did hear about that spot being a famous place for suicides.
4: That the spirits often latched on to people there...
5(2b): That mus be it. There's no other way that could be done, without CG.
6: Especially that one woman.
7: She was a total evil spirit.

80)
1: What if we've already got some latched on to us from talking about suicide all the time?
2: Maybe if they weren't here, we wouldn't even want to die.
3: I knew it...
4: click
5(2b): Heh, it's just...I shot it, but I still can't even believe it.
6: I didn't see it with my naked eye, after all...

81)
1: The truth is,
2: I uploaded it to a members-only site to see how many people would believe it's true.
3: And things turned out just how I expected...look.
keita: Silly.
Taiyosu: fail shop is fail
4: I figured as much.
5: In a way, it's the natural response.
Shingo: The lack of shadows makes it look so fake
6(2b): But then it started to piss me off a little.
7: This isn't a fake, yet no one believes me...
8: But I thought of something.

82)
1: What if I tried to film it again...?
2: If one of us
3: committed suicide in the same location, at the same time, and in the same way as Kitazawa-san...
4: We'd probably be able to record it again.
5: What's he talking about...?

83)
1: I'll do it, of course.

84)
1: None of them have ESP.
2: Committing suicide won't allow them to see it again.
3: If they just wanted to be saved, then I shouldn't have been so scared.
4: I should have listened to them.

85)
1: No soul is born wanting to die.
2: No one can be at fault if the situation is beyond their control...
3: But the karma borne from taking one's own life by one's own hand will send anyone straight to hell.

86)
1: You're right.
2: No one's born wanting to die.
3: So they can't do that.
4: They're wrong!
5: Please.
6: Make them stop it.

87)
1: Erika-san.
2: Can you...make a repose for those souls?
3: Yes.
4: I'll do it.
5: Good.
6: Then I'll let you return to the material world for a moment.

88)
1: I'm counting on you.
2: Prove I'm right.
3: Leave it to us...we'll be the talk of the internet.

89)
1: crack
2: H-hey! That's...
3-4: crackle
5: Uwahhh
6: What the?!

90)
1: Oh shiiiiiit!

91)
1: Do not toy with death.
2: It's rude to the people who want to live, but can't.
3: If you want to die that badly,

92-93)
1: then just go to hell.

95)
1: Hahaha...

96)
1: I did all I could.
2: If he still wants to die now, then he's beyond help...
3: There's nothing else I can do.

97)
1: Everyone already went through the gate.
2: I'm grateful to you.
3: Can I ascend to heaven too?

98)
1: Choice confirmed.

99)
1: Bye bye.

100)
1: Everyone...
2: You waited for me?

101)
1: See ya.

102)
1: Go on, and live.

2: See ya.

4)
1-2: drip
3: Fujimura-san looks really serious.
4(2b): You've bee here a lot this month, though. Have there been some new movements...?
5: No.
6: I'm running out of time,
7: so I'm just getting desperate.

5)
1: Interrogation Room
2: creaaak

6)
1: Uematsu.
2: Don't think you can escape.
3: The world isn't naive enough to let guys like you come out on top.
4: Now.
5: How about you tell us one more time what happened that day?
6: Two more weeks until the statute of limitations
7: runs out on his brother.
8: I heard the victim's daughter is getting married.
9: Oooh.
10(2b): It's been 15 years, so...she must be 29...

7)
1(2b): She lost her mother in that accident, but she's grown up to be quite the woman.
2: It's really like a miracle.
3: That's
4: nice to hear.
5(2b): Fujimura-san and I were even invited to the wedding. So I want to give them some good news,
6: by nabbing the criminal...
7: bam
8: W...
9: We've got trouble!

9)
1: Hee, hee hee hee.
2: It took me 15 years to get that little guy.
3: I figured what the fuck? I don't have much longer.
4: But I'm sure as hell not letting you bastards get my brother!

11)
1: Welcome
2: to the gate of grudges.
3: I'm the gatekeeper, Izuko.

12)
1: Souls who have been murdered or killed in unforeseen accidents come here.
2: You'll have to pick one out of the following three paths.
3: The first is to accept your death, ascend into heaven, and watch to be reincarnated.
4: The second is to become a spirit in limbo and wander the material world.
5: Finally, the third
6: is to curse a single human to death.

13)
1: However
2: those who kill humans will go to hell and suffer without any hope of reincarnation.
3: I'm...
4: dead?!
5: Yes.
6: You have 12 days to make your decision.

15)
1: Hey, Uematsu.
2: You really fucked me over, you know that?
3: Can't...you see me?!

16)
sign: Assistant Inspector Fujimura Tsunemitsu
1: This is my funeral.

17)
1: I lost my family and my life without looking back to them.
2: But if I hadn't done it, who would? If I let him go, he would have been scot free for the rest of his life.
3: I did the right thing.

18)
1: We will not let Fujimura-san's hard work go to vain, and continue our pursuit of the criminal with all our power.
2: That's right.
3: I can't give up, can I?

19)
1: Honestly, sometimes I think it's useless at this stage.
2: But that would be too cruel to Fujimura-san and Haraguchi-san.
3: Yuuko-san.
4: ...rub
5: I'm sorry. We were unequal to the task.

21)
1: You sacrificed yourself to catch the criminal.
2: You can't catch every criminal.
3: But I don't ever want to let a single one go.
4: I don't want to let unlawful people win.
5: I can't stand to watch the victims cry on and on like that.
6: You did your best.

22)
1: But I missed one.
2: These two brothers executed their plan perfectly.
3: They killed a man's wife and stole 20 million yen.
4: It's the first time one of my cases has neared the statute.
5: I chased him for so long, but I could never find him.
6: Maybe he's already dead.

23)
1: He's still alive.
2: Where is he?
3: Why do you want to know?
4: I can't forgive him.

24)
1: If you kill him, you'll go to hell.
2: I'm a cop.
3: Fine,
4: I'll show you.

25)
1: Here?
2: Yes.

27)
1: He's been here for several years.
2: Because of the money, the other people here protect him.
3: Uematsu...so this is where you've been.
4: Dammit.
5: Now I don't have a body to nab you with.

28)
1: Did you
2: beat me?

29)
1: Are you angry?
2: Of course I am!
3: Then just
4: make this man acknowledge his crime.
5: I can do that?
6: Yes.

30)
1: I'll make him turn himself in.
2: Hey!
3: Wake up!
4: Uematsu!!
5: Hiee

31)
1: You killed Anzai Noriyo, didn't you?!
2-3: Aagggh
4: Guruhh...aaagggh, aaaaggh

32)
1: Have you
2: gone senile...?!
3(2b): Who are you? A policeman?
4: That old guy's lost his marbles.
5: He'd be helpless if it weren't for us.
6: A long time ago, though, he came here and gave us all a ton of money.
7: We're indebted to him.
8: So we keep him alive.
9: That's all.

33)
1: Unaah...
2: Aaaaagggghh

34)
1: Even if you do nothing, his body will one day perish, and he will go to hell.
2: As a cop, I want to apologize to the victim and his daughter.

35)
1: He was alive, and so close by, yet I couldn't nab him.
2(2b): Hey. Mr. Cop.
3: Why do you think both of the criminals are still alive?
4: Oh yeah, what happened to the victim, Noriyo-san?
5: She came to this gate too, didn't she?

36)
1: Yes.
2: But she knew the criminals would be going to hell, so she forgave them...
3: She forgave them?
4: Impossible.
5: How could she forgive them?!
6: She chose to wander the material world to be close to her daughter.

37)
1: She's still protecting Yuuko-san to this day.
2: She chose to wander, to protect her daughter...?
3: She chose love over hatred.

2: I'm Fujimura, a policeman.
3: I don't know how
4: to apologize...
5: No, no.
6: I'm a cop.
7: I was prepared for this.
8: I'm so sorry.
9: But now I've solved one of the mysteries I had.

43)
1: We always talked about how Yuuko-san
2: had grown up into such an amazing young woman.
3: Now I know why -- she had her mother beside her.
4: No...I didn't do anything.

44)
1: Noriyo-san.
2: Don't you think it's about time you went to heaven and get reincarnated?
3: Yes.
4: You're right.
5: How about we go together?
6: It'd be my pleasure.

45)
1: Choices confirmed.

46)
1: Go on, and live.
