I’m sure you wanna know~ I’ll tell you if you come back 10 years later.<br /><br />Izayoi: I DON’T WANNA KNOW!!<br /><br />Izayoi: Hmph, what a pain in the ass.<br /><br />Izayoi: If you wanna see that badly…<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Izayoi: I’ll just show you!<br /><br />Izayoi: It’s hard to move when they rub against the armor, and I’ve already thrown away my femininity when I became an assassin.<br /><br />Izayoi: The only things I desire are the pleasures of death!<br /><br />Page 11: <br /><br />Ma: Ma Clan Hagai Kyaku!!<br />TL Note: Armor Breaking Kick<br /><br />Izayoi: Kuh-…<br /><br />Izayoi: Clothes?<br /><br />Izayoi: Didn’t you want to take them off old man?<br /><br />Page 12: <br /><br />Ma: I didn’t want to strip you of your clothes…<br /><br />Ma: I wanted to release the armour binding your heart.<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />Izayoi: Kuh-!!<br /><br />Izayoi: Why am I getting flustered over this old man?<br /><br />Ma: The lights…no, the building’s lost power!?<br /><br />Izayoi: Someone’s trying to access this base’s database right?<br /><br />Izayoi: It’s set up to kill the power for protection.<br /><br />Ma: Huh?

No matter how much of a master you are you can’t see in the dark…<br /><br />Izayoi: Master of All Chinese Martial Arts, Ma Kensei!!<br /><br />Izayoi: I won’t let your useless views get to me! I challenge you to a normal match as a swordswoman!!<br /><br />Ma: Ok, if that’s what you want…<br /><br />Ma: I shall face you as a martial artist!!<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Izayoi: I hope the darkness will allow me to not have to see the sight of his dead body…<br /><br />Izayoi: I hope!?

That is the Koetsuji way.<br /><br />Page 03:<br /><br />East Knight: Kahaaah!<br /><br />East Knight: I, one of the Three Lances of the Black Imperial Guard, ‘The Lance of the East’ shall face you!!<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Left top box: Ahahahaha<br /><br />Ma: W-Wait Mad Sword-chan!! Please be gentle!!<br /><br />Izayoi: Ahahaha!!<br /><br />Ma: Heeey, Akisame-don!! Could you give my right arm a little first aid?<br /><br />Akisame: Don’t die, Kensei!<br /><br />Page 05: <br /><br />Ma: You cheap bastard!! Uhyaa!<br /><br />Akisame: My hands are also a little full at the moment.<br /><br />East: Nuaghhhh!!!<br /><br />Page 06: <br /><br />Akisame: You’re quite destructive.<br /><br />Akisame: With the world as it is, you must have been given a name on the battlefield right?<br /><br />East: Ryouzanpaku, you who keep your power hidden while living in seclusion.<br /><br />East: Be happy, the world that can release that power,<br /><br />East: Shall soon be here!!<br /><br />Akisame: What!? …<br /><br />Akisame: I have a few questions I’d like to ask about the ‘Setting Sun of Eternity’…<br /><br />East: That’s unfortunate, since you have attacked this base you won’t be able to wait till that day comes…<br /><br />East AS YOU SHALL DIE HERE!<br /><br />Page 07: <br /><br />East: Rasen Nagibaki Guruma!!<br /><br />East: Even if you are Ryouzanpaku, being in front of my fearsome lance handling is not a wall that someone unarmed can overcome.<br /><br />Page 08: <br /><br />East: Your wonderful skills you have obtained throughout history shall simply go rotten during this world of tranquillity. <br /><br />East: That is the pinnacle of stupidity!!<br /><br />Akisame: …What a mad ideology.<br /><br />East: No, the thing that has gone mad is this very world!!<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />East: What a fool, you plan to jump in towards me from the very tip of my lance?<br /><br />East: I told you…<br /><br />East: He disappeared!!<br /><br />Akisame: You’ve got significant horsepower.<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Akisame: I almost had to let go.<br /><br />East: Ngghh!!<br /><br />East: H-He grabbed on to my lance so easily!?<br /><br />East: I-I can’t move it!?<br /><br />East: Ngghhhh!!<br /><br />Akisame: Mnng!!<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />East: OHHHHHHHHH!!<br /><br />Akisame: Got you.<br /><br />East: Guoooghhhhh…<br /><br />Page 12:<br /><br />Akisame: Woah, it’s dangerous to stab opponents with a lance when they’re this close…<br /><br />East: It is true that the Jujitsu you wield was designed for unarmed hand to hand combat against opponents that are armed with weapons like swords and lances.<br /><br />East: So for us whose main weapon is our lances, it would be expected that in our Soujutsu we would have grappling technique…<br />TL Note: Soujutsu, lance techniques.<br /><br />East: COUNTER ATTACKS!!<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />East: Soujutsu – Kawazu hagashi!!<br /><br />East: Come!!<br /><br />Page 14: <br /><br />Akisame: That’s unfortunate, in my style, we have counter attacks,<br /><br />Akisame: For your anti-grappling technique counter attacks~<br /><br />East: What…<br /><br />East: Nggaahhh!!<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />East: You- W-What did you do!?<br /><br />Akisame: Try and hit me.<br /><br />Akisame: Even if you hit me or miss me, we’re still giving you an invitation to Big Lock.<br /><br />East: Uoooghhhh!!<br /><br />Akisame: It’s true that Jujutsu’s joint and strangulation attacks are inferior in speed to those who are armed.<br /><br />Akisame: However, it’s also quite difficult to throw someone who is wearing armor!<br /><br />Akisame: So for times like that, Old Styles of Jujitsu thought out countless strikes!!<br /><br />East: Strikes…things like punches?<br /><br />East: You fool! My armour is a special make of a master armour maker in ‘Yami’!! How will punches pass through something bullets can’t even…<br /><br />Page 16:<br /><br />Akisame: Even if bullets won’t pass through it…<br /><br />Akisame: The ‘vibrations’ will.<br /><br />Akisame: Kouetsuji, Kodama Awase!!!!<br /><br />Page 17: <br /><br />Akisame: The vibrations from my right hand were immediately opposed with the vibrations from my left hand.<br /><br />Akisame: Right now, your head should have been knocked against the walls of that tough helmet of yours.<br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />Akisame: This ‘tranquility’ was gained from the tears and blood poured by our ancestors.<br /><br />Akisame: No matter what kind of reasoning you put behind your cause, I won’t let you take it away easily!<br /> Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:13:15 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/23422 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/23271 Kenichi 388<br /><br />Page 01:<br />This is a fight that cannot be lost.<br /><br />Battle 388 – Ma vs. Akisame<br /><br />Page 02:<br />Ma: Alright, Akisame-don, you take the left, and I'll take the rough one on the right.<br /><br /><br />Akisame: Yes, the one on the left kills more elegantly.<br /><br />Page 03:<br />Ma: Ku-…<br /><br />Ma: What’s the matter Kensei?<br /><br />Page 04:<br />Girl: So my opponent is the tall one with the moustache…?<br /><br />Ma: The one on the left is a woman!! In these sorts of situations I have to activate my Bakusatsui!<br /><br />Very Important TL Note: Bakusatsui is one of Ma’s ultimate techniques. It is a Katsujin Ken technique designed to prevent a woman from fighting by destroying her clothes without causing any harm to her body. Essentially he wants to strip her.<br /><br />Ma: Wait, it really looks like I have to fight the one on the left.<br /><br /><br />Akisame: Why?<br /><br />Page 05:<br />Moustache: Nnn!<br /><br />Ma: Aiya, just wait a little bit!!<br /><br />Ma: Akisame-don.<br /><br />Ma: Since ancient times, in China we say, ‘The Spear is the King of all Weaponry’.<br /><br />Ma: As Akisame-don is still young, I want you to fight people like that!<br /><br />Akisame: Or maybe you’re just planning something wicked!<br /><br />Ma: What are you talking about! As much of a pervert as I am, in such serious life-threatening times even I seal the ‘Eros’ inside my heart and act appropriately!!<br /><br />Ma: This is just pure concern!!<br /><br />Akisame: But the one on the left looks interesting…<br /><br />Ma: The one on the right is really interesting! That spear! That armour!! You can’t guess what attacks he’ll use; he’s definitely a strong enemy!!<br /><br />Ma: Enough already, let’s switch! The dreams and hopes of me, your great friend, are hanging on the line here!! Anyway we only chose our opponents based on what we thought of their spirits!?<br /><br />Ma: So, will you switch with me?<br /><br />Page 06:<br />Akisame: Ehhhh-<br /><br />Akisame: No waaaaay~<br /><br />Ma: Gggh…<br /><br />Ma: That’s bad, Akisame-don said, ‘’Ehhhh, No waaaaay’’!!<br /><br />Ma Box: It was a few years ago…<br /><br />Ma Box: A certain ruler of a country paid a visit to Ryouzanpaku…<br /><br /><br />Ma Box: He happened to see a statue that Akisame-don was in the middle of making. He instantly fell in love with it and said, ‘Please let me have that’.<br /><br />Page 07:<br />Ma Box: At that time…<br /><br />Akisame: Ehhhh<br /><br />Akisame: No waaaaay~<br /><br />Ma Box: Was Akisame-don’s reply.<br /><br />Ma Box: Once he said that, it was over. Even when he was offered such a dizzyingly large amount of money, he didn’t even flinch.<br />- Show quoted text -<br /><br /><br />Akisame: Ehhhh~ No waaaaay~<br /><br />Ma Box: Under the orders of that ruler, professional thieves were sent twice and assassins were sent once…<br /><br />Paper on men: Ehhhh~ No waaaaay~<br /><br />Ma Box: They were completely crushed by Akisame-don.<br /><br />Ma Box: Ultimately, that statue is still at Ryouzanpaku…<br /><br />Ma Box: where it’s used to make pickles.<br /><br />HW Apachai: Apa<br /><br />HW Miu: Please make more-<br /><br />HW Right side Akisame Head: Yes, it presses…<br /><br />HW Left side Akisame Head: Quite well indeed…<br /><br />Page 08:<br />Ma: When Akisame-don says ‘Ehhhh No waaaaay’, his stubbornness<br /><br />Ma: is peerless.<br /><br />Boobs and butt: What are you doing?<br /><br />Ma: Could you please wait a bit~<br /><br />Ma: Since it’s come to this, I have no choice…<br /><br />Ma: Let’s battle, Akisame-don!!<br /><br />Page 09:<br />Akisame: Ok.<br /><br />Ma: Nwaaa!!<br /><br />Akisame: Hah-!!<br /><br />Girl: Hmm, is that…<br /><br />Page 10:<br />Girl: Rock Paper Scissors!?<br /><br />Girl: Furthermore they’re looking at each other and rapidly changing their hands?<br /><br />Page 11:<br />Ma: Since Akisame-don has remodelled all the muscles in his body into pink muscles, which have both power and endurance, in one swing he can change his chosen hand roughly 36-38 times…<br /><br />Ma: On the other hand, as I have acquired the 12 Muscle Techniques of the Ma Clan that was developed from Yijing Jing, my muscles have been trained to maximise speed; I can change my choice roughly 36-39 times!!<br /><br />Ma: However, as Akisame-don is very sharp…he probably has already discovered my usual patterns!<br /><br />Ma: Ha!!<br /><br />Ma: How naïve, Akisame-don!! Honestly, for times like these, I have usually taken part in battles that aren’t so dear to me, to have you memorise a fake pattern!!<br /><br /><br />HW Ma: Aiya- I lost the Taiyaki-<br /><br />HW Apachai: Apaa-<br /><br />HW Sakaki: I don’t need sweet things.<br /><br />Page 12:<br />Ma: This match is mine, just you wait, Swordswoman!!<br /><br />Akisame: As I thought, you weaken when beautiful women are involved.<br /><br />Ma: What? Just now…a fe-…FEINT!?<br /><br />Ma: What strength!! He used the feint to change the flow with only 3 hands left!!<br /><br />Ma: O-oh no!! Even though I know as much, I can’t stop my hand!!<br /><br /><br />Page 13:<br />Ma: Ero…<br /><br />Ma: CAN OVERCOME ALL LIMITATIONS!!!<br /><br />Page 14:<br />Akisame: Sigh…<br /><br />Akisame: Who would’ve thought you would manage to change your hand in that situation. I lose. / Fight who you want to, Kensei!<br /><br />Page 15:<br />Ma: I-I won!! / However now I won’t be able to use my right hand for a month…<br /><br />Girl: I want to fight you too, mister.<br /><br /><br />Ma: It’s mutual love &lt;3<br /><br />Ma: Though, due to the circumstances I’m going to fight you one armed!!<br /><br />Ma: You’re throwing away the scabbard!?<br /><br />Page 16:<br />Girl: Ahahaha &lt;3 A scabbard just gets in the way doesn’t it? I like to go all out and cut people up!!<br /><br />Page 17:<br />Akisame: Kensei…when you see beautiful women you misread them in various ways…<br /><br />Moustache: That man plans on fighting Izayoi with only one arm?<br /><br />Page 18:<br />Moustache: ‘’The Mad Sword Izayoi’’ is a very well-known assassin even for ‘Yami’.<br /><br />Ma: Aiyaaaah- Could this be a big problem for me!!

Thou dares to take on the ‘Lance of the West’ of the 3 Lances of the Black Imperial Guard,<br /><br />Knight: Using a lance…<br /><br />Page 02 - 03<br /><br />Knight: And you’re challenging me to a joust!!<br /><br />Side text: A unique mounted battle begins!!!<br /><br />Knight: Albeit thou be a maiden, I shall not hold back!!<br /><br />Shigure: You’re quite…the gentleman.<br /><br />Knight: I am no gentleman!!<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Knight: I am a Knight!!<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Knight: To cross blades with me using such a shoddy lance…how pitiful! This shall be the end of thee, Child Prodigy of all Weaponry <br /><br />Page 06: <br /><br />Knight: What exactly is that bizarre bending lance?<br /><br />Knight: Hyaa!<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Knight: However, this joust is completely in my favour.<br /><br />Knight: After all, she is riding a bike giving her the lower position. In a joust the one whom has the higher ground has an overwhelming advantage when thrusting downwards. <br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Page 09: <br /><br />Knight: Ohhh!!?<br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />Knight: That vest thou depends on has been burst open.<br /><br />Knight: The next thrust shall be the end…<br /><br />Knight: However, though this maiden was aiming at the slits in my armor…<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Knight: If she used that thin lance, even the slightest blow would’ve have resulted in a a fatal wound.<br /><br />Knight: They’re coating it…?<br /><br />Shigure: Al…right.<br /><br />Shigure: Let’s finish…<br /><br />Shigure: …this.<br /><br />Page 12:<br /><br />Knight: How interesting! Let’s see if thine thin lance can reach me!!<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Shigure: Senmai Yoroidooshi!!!<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Knight: Ohhh!!<br /><br />Knight: A bamboo branch!? T-Thou managed to transform such a fragile thing into something of such destructive power!?<br /><br />Shigure: I immediately threw away my lance…<br /><br />Shigure: …but for you to manage to catch my…Yoroidooshi…<br /><br />Page 16:<br /><br />Knight: …Can I ask thee something?<br /><br />Knight: Even though thou were always at an advantage in our fight, why didn’t you aim for my horse?<br /><br />Knight: If thou had aimed for my horse it wouldn’t have been a tough battle.<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Shigure: Because you too,<br /><br />Shigure: Never attacked my…mouse…?<br /><br />Knight: Sigh<br /><br />Knight: The rules of a joust state in these situations… / It must be settled with swords.<br /><br />Knight: But, for some reason I have no desire to try to match thee in swordplay.<br /><br />Knight: As a knight, let me accept my defeat.<br /> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:24:58 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/23149 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/23032 Kenichi 386 <br /><br />Page 01:<br /><br />The decisive battle…is upon us.<br /><br />Battles on All Fronts<br /><br />Page 03:<br /><br />Kenichi: W-We’re the only ones that made it to the top floor…<br /><br />Kenichi: The four other enemies we’ve encountered started fighting my other masters…<br /><br />Kenichi: Is it a good thing that we’ve managed to enter the depths of the enemy’s base so easily?<br /><br />Akisame: You’ll go with Apachai-kun…<br /><br />Ma: That’s right, it’s better if one fights one’s old enemy.<br /><br />Kenichi: Yeah, Narasimha. Tirawit Koukin…<br /><br />Kenichi: The only thing I should focus on now is my fight with him…<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Miu: Huh? Now that I think about why have you followed us all this way Niijima-san?<br /><br />Niijima: Well I…what I did was…<br /><br />Niijima: Well I thought that I should intelligently withdraw to the safest location I found, however there hadn’t been a safe location thus far, so before I realized it I had already arrived at the most dangerous place.<br /><br />Kenichi: That’s nothing to be proud about!!<br /><br />Apachai: …it’s close.<br /><br />Niijima: Eeek!<br /><br />Apachai: I can feel an extremely evil presence.<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Apachai: Let’s go.<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Agaard: Yo-.<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Apachai: Agaard Jum Sai…are you still using Muay Thai for evil?<br /><br />Tirawit: It seems dying once just isn’t enough for you.<br /><br />Tirawit: Shirahama Kenichi. / Kenichi: Don’t think that I’m the same as last time we fought. I’ll place my title as the Number One Disciple of Ryouzanpaku on the line…<br /><br />Tirawit: And defeat you Koukin!!<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />American Soldier: It seems that some Kijimunaa monster is going wild… / American: Fucking idiots, it’s just practice right?<br /><br />American soldier: Oy, it might just be me, but I’m hearing something weird, and it’s getting louder.<br /><br />Soldier: WHAT!?<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Shigure: A fine blade!?<br /><br />Shigure: Has this spear been forged by a Yami swordsmith after my father’s demise?<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />Knight: I’ve caught a glimpse of the prodigy of swords and weaponry, Kousaka Shigure.<br /><br />Knight: What fortune this is, to be able to cross blades with the one who is sung as the strongest in the Orient.<br /><br />Knight: The others will meet their ends. To be unarmed against the 3 Lances of the Black Imperial Guard, …<br /><br />Knight: Is the same as knight being naked on the battlefield.<br /><br />Knight: However, Miss Kousaka, thou art quite lightly equipped for this battle.<br /><br />Knight: EYAAA!!<br /><br />Page 16:<br /><br />Shigure: I believe…I’m not as…<br /><br />Shigure: …lightly equipped…<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Shigure: As you…say.<br /><br />Page 18:<br /><br />Knight: How very interesting...<br /><br />Knight: Thou dares to challenge me to a joust?<br /><br /><br /> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:46:20 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/23032 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/22829 Kenichi 385 –<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Page 01:<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Battle 385 – Base Invasion.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Captain: Oy!

Sometimes they appear as children, and sometimes they appear as large men.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> Captain: Is that so?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Captain: Ha-!!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Captain: That’s impossible!!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Captain: Hey!

There should be even more enemies than this. / We have to keep move forward as fast as possible.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Page 12:<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Akisame: Besides, there’s bound to be data here on people from the financial and political world who support Yami.

About which Yomi gets to fight Ryouzanpaku disciple, what’s his name? Shirahama Kenichi?<br /><br />Chikage: Yeah…but, my turn was skipped by my master.<br /><br />Rachel: Oh~!!<br /><br />Rachel: I haven’t had my turn yet!! Fufufu, my turn has finally arrived!<br /><br />Kajima: Well… you’re different, <br /><br />Kajima: Because your master fell to them, you’re still being treated as under house arrest. It’s unfortunate by you turn was passed.<br /><br />Rachel: Snaaaaaap!!<br /><br />Rachel: So, does that mean that it’s the new recruits turn?<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Kajima: …no, his master, Ma Sougetsu hasn’t expressed any sort of interest in Ryouzanpaku’s disciple…so he was passed. / That man’s more moody than what I’ve heard.<br /><br />Kajima: Hey, newbie-kun. Why don’t you come over here and play a game?<br /><br />Rachel: Hmm, it’s useless Kajima. Even when I observed him at high school he’s completely an unsocial guy.<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Tanimoto: I’m good at…<br /><br />Tanimoto: Othello.<br /><br />Honoka HW: Take me to the amusement part~<br /><br />Honoka HW: Let’s play Othello for it<br /><br />Kajima: Hahaha!<br /><br />Kajima: I’m also good at Othello. Alright, let’s get this battle underway!<br /><br />Chikage: Kajima Satomi…this man probably doesn’t have a higher IQ than I do…<br /><br />Chikage: But why haven’t I been able to land a single hit on him…<br /><br />Kajima: That’s because your heart isn’t strong enough Chikage.<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Chikage: Wawah-!!<br /><br />Kajima: Heheh, the most important thing in a match of any kind is the strength of your heart. Hasn’t your master always been worried about that?<br /><br />Tanimoto: First guts, second power, third Kung Fu.<br /><br />Star text:<br />*That means, ‘Courage, power and then techniques’, is the order of what’s important for a fight<br /><br />Kajima: Exactly.<br /><br />Kajima: Although the speciality of your Kushinada Style is that it aims to use no power…<br /><br />Kajima: The turn to fight Ryouzanpaku’s disciple has been returned to the person whose has a stronger heart than I do…<br /><br />Rachel: …You can’t mean Tirawit Koukin!!<br /><br />Rachel: Him again!? I haven’t even fought him once! That’s unfair!!<br /><br />Chikage: …Now that I think about it, Koukin has won against Kajima countless times…however what a simplistic…<br /><br />Kajima: Well, it is actually quite simplistic,<br /><br />Kajima: This world we live in.<br /><br />Chikage: On top of that, this man’s IQ isn’t high, but instead it’s some other kind of ability!!<br /><br />HW Rachel: Damn you Koukin-<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Kajima: However, Koukin’s currently gone to Okinawa with his master Agaard-dono. So they won’t be able to fight again for a while.<br /><br />Takeda: Why don’t you come with us to Okinawa!!<br /><br />Niijima: Come with me! For my sake!!<br /><br />Kajima: …is there something…<br /><br />Kajima: You know? Newbie-kun?<br /><br />Tanimoto: No.<br /><br />Rachel: Let me join in too! Let’s play chess&lt;3<br /><br />Kajim: …hmm…<br /><br />Kajima: It seems that you’re quite skilled at concealing your heart,<br /><br />Kajima: Hermit-kun.<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Agaard:Hmm?<br /><br />Agaard: Koukin, did tell me you felt that too?<br /><br />Page 09: <br /><br />Koukin: Yes, I can feel a powerful ki.<br /><br />Koukin: And it’s not even trying to conceal itself a tiny bit…<br /><br />Agaard: So, what does that show us? You have permission to speak freely about your opinion.<br /><br />Koukin: …This reason this powerful being is moving around like it’s showing off the strength of its Ki…I think it’s…<br /><br />Koukin: A diversion.<br /><br />Agaard: Heh, a good assumption. Koukin, they’re coming here!! Even if we’re deep within the American Military base, it won’t bother them at all.<br /><br />Agaard: Get ready for battle!!<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />American: Shit!!<br /><br />American: Enemy!?<br /><br />Akisame: It’s ok, come here.<br /><br />Niijima: Why am I here too~<br /><br />Kenichi: It would be dangerous if we got separated-<br /><br />Akisame: Hmm, we’ve gotten inside quite well.<br /><br />Kenichi: T-This is insane, Shishou!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Even though it’s the Elder, taking on the American Military alone…<br /><br />Akisame: The Elder? Ah, Garyuu X.<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Akisame: Don’t worry, he won’t hurt them.<br /><br />Kenichi: THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT!!?<br /><br />Niijima: Shhh Shhh<br /><br />American: How many intruders are there?<br /><br />Akisame: Woah-<br /><br />American: I don’t know…but they’ve gotten into the base very easily!!<br /><br />Kenichi: How does the Elder expect to fight…<br /><br />Kenichi: Against such a large number of armed soldiers without hurting any!!?<br /><br />Akisame: Ahhh, Garyuu X.<br /><br />Akisame: Instead of using his special techniques…will probably use his special non-killing techniques…<br /><br />Kenichi: S-Special … Non Killing Techniques!?<br /><br />American: It’s useless!

I’m a young martial artist!!<br /><br />Honoka: Oh, morning Kouhai-kun.<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Box: For generations, our family has carried on the tradition of the Yamamoto Jujitsu style. As we are not allowed to leave the mountain unless we become strong enough, there is a certain custom.<br /><br />Naoki: Even if I die…<br /><br />Naoki: I’m going to get one hit on you, then leave this mountain!<br /><br />Text near Tengu: *This is actually his father in disguise<br /><br />Box: I barely managed to get one hit on a certain Tengu that is sealed in a cave, so I got permission from my father to attend a trial Middle School admission.<br /><br />Naoki: I thought that in ‘the city’ there were flying cars and cat-robots that could suddenly bring out anything.<br /><br />Honoka: Ahahaha!

It’s a good school!!<br /><br />Box: But, some weird things have happened…<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Box: I wonder if this could be ‘the city’s ‘bullying’ I’ve heard about…<br /><br />Box: When I was in the mountains, I studied the little information I could get about ‘the city’. From what I know…<br /><br />Last box: A radio that only connects sometimes.<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Naoki: Bullying should be a tactic, where people in unstable positions group together,<br /><br />Naoki: Find the weakest of the group and attack them.<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Naoki thought: 2 seconds!!<br /><br />Naoki: It’s no use…I don’t think I’d lose at all.<br /><br />Naoki thought: It wouldn’t even take 3 seconds!!<br /><br />Naoki thought: Why am I being picked on even though I’m stronger than them?!<br /><br />Kid: Tch-<br /><br />Box: But I have to do what my father told me!!<br /><br />Father: Listen, when you leave the mountain, you are forbidden to use martial arts.<br /><br />Kids: You scared!<br /><br />Naoki thought: If I break the promise I won’t be able to come to ‘the city’ again.<br /><br />Honoka: M-M-My Kouhai’s being bullied?!<br /><br />Naoki: Haa-…<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Naoki: I originally planned on…<br /><br />Naoki: Making 100 friends~<br /><br />Naoki: Oh yeah, if I’m useful maybe people will like me!<br /><br />Kid: Today’s lunch is Tori Karaage!!<br />TL Note: Fried Chicken<br /><br />HW Naoki: Forgive me pigeon, but it seems that everyone's eating bird today…<br /><br />Girl: Sensei!!

Maybe he’s getting picked on because he’s a weakling?<br /><br />Honoka: He’s pretty short, but he’s good at sport.<br /><br />Honoka: All the clubs want him!<br /><br />Shigure: If that’s the case… maybe he’s….<br /><br />Shigure: Floating.<br /><br />Honoka: Floating?<br /><br />Akisame: Yes. Bullying isn’t something that only humans do.<br /><br />Akisame: For example, often white crows are bullied by their brethren and killed. Just because they stand out.<br /><br />Akisame: When a certain amount of creatures gather, there is inferiority and superiority, and the phenomenon of trying to secure social standing is known as bullying.<br /><br />Akisame: It can be said that it is impossible for bullying to cease to exist…<br /><br />Honoka: Ehhhh!!!<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />Honoka: I thought you Shishous would be able to tell me an incredible secret plan or something~<br /><br />Honoka: You helped Onii-chan out, didn’t you!<br /><br />Kenichi: Oh Honoka, you’ve come to visit, huh?<br /><br />Akisame: I was also picked on in the past so I understand the pain of being bullied. But it can also be a ‘trial’ that helps one better oneself.<br /><br />Kenichi: What are you talking about?<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Akisame: That’s why you should tell that child something. Something that will help turn bullying into something that can better oneself, what you should tell that child is…<br /><br />Akisame: Do not die!!<br /><br />Honoka: Die?<br /><br />Kenichi: Yes! Not mentally, socially or as a living being!!<br /><br />Akisame: …Eventually the state or situation will definitely change, / You will notice that the world that surrounds you now is not the entire world. However, if you die you cannot achieve anything.<br /><br />Ma: You shouldn’t get killed either!!<br /><br />Akisame: Yes, I’m grateful to those who bullied me in the past. As it was something that helped me develop into the person I am today.<br /><br />Akisame: But if you die, you can’t develop…<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Akisame: So ‘don’t die!’<br /><br />Akisame: And ‘don’t get killed!!’<br /><br />Akisame: If you can abide by those two rules, in the end that child will attain victory.<br /><br />Honoka: Hmm.<br /><br />Honoka: I don’t quite understand,<br /><br />Honoka: But I’ll tell him that.<br /><br />Page 18:<br /><br />Honoka: Ok? Don’t die!!<br /><br />Honoka: And you can’t get killed either!!<br /><br />Honoka: See ya.<br /><br />Naoki: I-I don’t really get it, but she’s cheering for me?!<br /><br />Naoki: I-I’ll do my best!!<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Naoki: Even though I got bullied, today was a good day…<br /><br />Naoki: Hmm?<br /><br />Naoki: Ah, they’re the guys who bully me, Hayashiba-kun, Suzuki-kun and Yanazamoto-kun?!<br /><br />Page 18:<br /><br />Naoki: They’re paying a high school student?!

Even though you took the blade of a Master Class fighter, it’s healing pretty well.<br /><br />Ma: It’s healed pretty well because we’ve strengthened his core, it’s reached the first stage of our plans.<br /><br />Ma: Even though you wore that vest, if it wasn’t for your core you would’ve already died.<br /><br />Kenichi: Ow! <br /><br />Kenichi: Stop it!...<br />TL Note: I think there’s a joke here, but since it’s half censored probably due to copyrights I have no idea what it is. <br /><br />Page 03:<br /><br />Akisame: Now, Kenichi-kun.

You can always hear agonizing cries of pain originating from this doujou.<br /><br />Kenichi: Haa…<br /><br />Kenichi: They haven’t gotten that angry at me since I came to Ryouzanpaku.<br /><br />Box pointing at rope: As the original staircase was destroyed during one of Sakaki and Ma’s drunken rages, there are no stairs in the separate dwelling.<br /><br />Someone: You’re looking surprisingly down today.<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Kenichi: Freya-san!!<br /><br />Freya: I heard you got told off by your Masters for being reckless<br /><br />Miu: She’s come out all this way to say thanks for that time.<br /><br />Kenichi: Wah! W-Wait a sec! I-I need a little time to clean up a bit!!<br /><br />Freya: There are more books than the rumors say.<br /><br />Kenichi: Sit wherever you want.<br /><br />Page 09: <br /><br />Freya: For risking your own life for the sake of my grandfather and myself, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.<br /><br />Kenichi: There’s no need to be so formal…<br /><br />Freya: I originally planned to bring my grandfather with me to say thanks…<br /><br />Danki: Ryouzanpaku? That group of masters that they call 'The History’s Strongest'? I don’t like those prissies!!<br /><br />Danki: Is dinner ready yet?<br /><br />Freya: But his sense of rivalry was a little bit strong…<br /><br />Kenichi: Hahah…<br /><br />Freya: Ah, however…<br /><br />Freya: He did praise you.<br /><br />Freya: He said ‘It’s rare to see a boy with such straightforward eyes these days’.<br /><br />HW Kenichi: Thanks<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Freya: Here’s a get well gift. I’m going to visit Ukita after this, / Here you are.<br /><br />Kenichi: Thanks.<br /><br />Miu: Huh, how come there’s a ribbon on Ukita’s gift!!<br /><br />Miu: Eheheh…well this is unexpected!!<br /><br />Miu Box: Woman’s intuition.<br /><br />Freya Box: Due to her woman’s intuition, she knows she’s been found out.<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Freya: W-W-W-Well I should go! Look after yourself Shirahama~<br /><br />Miu: Say hello to Ukita-san for us ♡<br /><br />Miu: However…Ukita-san likes Kisara-san…<br /><br />HW Ukita: Oy~ Kisara-<br /><br />HW Kisara: Don’t talk to me at school!<br /><br />Triangle text in her hand: Love Triangle<br /><br />Kenichi: What were you just doing then, Miu-san?<br /><br />Miu: Nothing at all.<br /><br />Miu: Also, about the House Arrest,<br /><br />Miu: You shouldn’t worry about it too much!<br /><br />Kenichi: Ok.<br /><br />Page 12:<br /><br />Kenichi: Haaa…<br /><br />Kenichi: Since I unexpectedly got a day off, I thought I’d spend the time reading some the books that have piled up…<br /><br />Kenichi: But I just don’t feel like it-.<br /><br />Kenichi: That day, I could’ve ran away, used Niijima’s phone to track Freya-san, and then met up with Shigure-san… <br /><br />Kenichi: But I promised myself I wouldn’t run away..and more importantly…<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Kenichi: I can’t even think of choosing…<br /><br />Kenichi: To run away and abandon my friends.<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Kenichi: So,<br /><br />Kenichi: Is there any reason you’re been there the whole time, Touchuumaru? <br /><br />Kenichi: Gfff-!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh?<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Kenichi: What, you’re going to go now? If you stayed a little longer...<br /><br />Touchuumaru: Wave wave.<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh, follow me? Through the ceiling?<br /><br />Kenichi: I’m under house arrest you know? Where do you plan on taking me?<br /><br />Kenichi: Uwah! Is this the ceiling of the hallway that connects the main dwelling to the separate dwelling? / I can’t believe that there was this sort of place in the walls…<br /><br />Kenichi: Ah, why thank you.<br /><br />Kenichi: Since I’m not allowed in the sparrow's nest, you’ve brought me along to the mouse’s nest have you?<br /><br />Kenichi: A transceiver?<br /><br />Page 16:<br /><br />Sakaki: Gahahaha!! But Kenichi really gave it his all didn’t he! To put his life on the line and fight like that, it looks like my training really has worked out!!<br /><br />Ma: Not at all! It was due to my guidance every day!!<br /><br />Akisame: Hey, we must make sure we don’t say these sorts of things around him.<br /><br />Akisame: Everyone here has gone done this path, praise can only be given at the time a disciple dies.<br /><br />Sakaki: Uwahahahah! My disciple won’t die!<br /><br />Sakaki: Oy, Miu! Is the celebratory red rice done yet?<br /><br />Miu: It’s ready!!<br /><br />Ma: I always knew Kenichi could do it!<br /><br />Akisame: Though his wounds may have already healed, / He still needs time to sort out his feelings.<br /><br />Apachai: So it’s a reward holiday.<br /><br />Sakaki: Though we can’t tell him that! Gahahah!!<br /><br />Page 17: 16 and 17 are a one page spread, make sure to join them.<br /><br />Apachai: It’s because Apachai has always given him those near experiences!! (Of death)<br />TL Note: Perhaps I should mention this, but Apachai's spoken Japanese is intentionally bad, due to him not being Japanese of course. So every now and then he'll say something a little grammatically incorrect, or that sounds funny. Naturally I try to incorporate this in my translations, so generally if Apachai sounds a little bit weird, try to understand that's what the author intended. <br /><br />Akisame: Anyway, let’s drink tonight to the growth of our disciple!<br /><br />Elder: Oh~ Thanks.<br /><br />Elder: Betting his life to protect someone. Those are truly the actions fit for one of Ryouzanpaku!!<br /><br />Sakaki: Heheh…when the hell did he get so manly…<br /><br />Ma: What! Are those tears of joy Sakaki-don?<br /><br />Apachai: Apapapa!!<br /><br />Kenichi: This is connected to the main dwelling isn’t it…<br /><br />Kenichi: Geez…<br /><br />Page 18:<br /><br />HW Text: But I really want to praise him!<br /><br />HW Text: You can’t! It’s for his own sake…<br /><br />Kenichi: Those masters of mine…<br /><br />Text down the bottom: Next week is a break week.

And also out before the raw is...but I translated it directly from a Shounen Sunday as I'm currently living in a ski resort in Japan and my friend picked me up a copy for me in the morning. Unfortunately, I cannot scan it, and I chose to board all day rather than translating it when I got my hands on it. So it could've possibly been released earlier...but then again the dorm's internet doesn't switch on until 5pm (2 hours ago as I'm writing this) so it really wouldn't have changed much.<br />Also one more thing, unless I say so this translation is free to be used for scanlations/international translations/criticism or whatever. <br />Enjoy<br /><br />Kenichi – Battle 376<br /><br />Page 01:<br /><br />Battle 376 – The unexpected obstacle<br /><br />Sometimes a crucial moment comes…and that time is NOW!<br /><br />History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi<br /><br />Matsuena Shun<br /><br />Page 02:<br /><br />Woman: Kyaa!<br /><br />Woman: That was dangerous…<br /><br />Woman: What’s with that truck!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Please use this!!<br /><br />Woman: Eh!?<br /><br />Woman: A band aid!?<br /><br />TL Note: Just what we’d expect from Kenichi, he always carries band aids.<br /><br />Page 03:<br /><br />Woman: Wha!!?<br /><br />Woman: H-He’s fast…<br /><br />Woman: Is he … in a race against that truck?<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Kenichi: Don’t look down on Ryouzanpaku’s training Diesel Engine!!<br /><br />Kenichi: No way, wait up Diesel-kun!!<br /><br />Niijima: Here<br /><br />Kenichi: Bfff!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Niijima!!<br /><br />Kenichi: When did you get up there!<br /><br />Niijima: Right now, there’s only Freya, her grandfather and a driver from Yami on this truck.<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Niijima: Also when the alliance’s members were fighting, I thought that one bottle of pepper spray could save us.<br /><br />Kenichi: Your ability for these sorts of actions is really the only skill you have…<br /><br />Kenichi: Hey wait, you even had a rope? There isn’t a portal to another dimension underneath your clothes is there?<br /><br />Niijima: It’s only natural a general would have this sort of appearance.<br /><br />Kenichi: Hmm!?<br /><br />Kenichi: What’s this feeling…<br /><br />Page 06:<br /><br />Kenichi: Tirawit Kokin!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Ku-!!<br /><br />Page 07: <br /><br />Fang necklace: Aww geez, I slept through the delivery.<br /><br />Fang necklace: Agaard of the Unarmed Sect is definitely pissed.<br /><br />Kenichi: There’s no doubt about it..a master class opponent has appeared!!<br /><br />Niijima: Craaap<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Takeda: Wa-!!<br /><br />Agaard: Nice timing.<br /><br />Tirawit: I gave that bantou user of the armed sect a lift.<br /><br />Agaard: What!?

Up till now he hasn’t been using them at all...<br />TL Note: Tekou = Hand and wrist guards<br /><br />Kenichi: Since the beginning he probably has also been trained to fight against the weaponed sect...<br /><br />Niijima: But it’s insane to try to fight against this sort of opponent ...<br /><br />Page 13: <br /><br />Bantou User: For the time being, how about I cut you up!?<br /><br />Niijima: Gyaaa!!

Without a computer, and internet. While I've improved my Japanese and learnt how to snowboard, my English may have suffered, since I don't really use it that much anymore. But since I finally bought myself a notebook, I thought I might as well post this...Plus I had nothing to do between 2pm-3pm today.<br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />Battle 375 – All out War<br /><br />There are things we want to protect.

I blame heaps of overtime going towards paying for a certain trip-...<br /><br />Watch this space however. There may be a significant, perhaps unfortunate, change for Kenichi translations in the next couple of months. <br /><br />Kenichi Chapter 359<br /><br />Page 01:<br /><br />Side text: Have the preparations been made to attack the evil?<br /><br />Battle 359 – Akabanetou<br /><br />Page 02:<br /><br />The Unarmed Division and Weapons Users, an enormous “Yami” has moved. “Ryouzanpaku”, move to the front lines, ready to guard the Akabanetou till the end!!!<br /><br />Kenichi: This is Kenichi.<br /><br />Page 03: <br /><br />Shigure: Ohhh~<br /><br />Shigure: Katana, Katana, Katana! Spears!!<br /><br />Kenichi: They have entered the display hall in the castle.<br /><br />Kenichi: By the way Koetsuji-shishou, why do you think Yami’s weapon group will come here?<br /><br />Akisame: To be accurate, there’s a 65% change they’ll attack this point, Kenichi-kun.<br /><br />Box: A certain location in a certain province-<br /><br />Kenichi: 65%? What do you mean?<br /><br />Akisame: Well, after the GHQ returned the Akabanetou to the Japanese Government, the 4576 that had unknown owners were entrusted to the national museum.<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Then shouldn’t we be guarding the national museum?<br /><br />Akisame: Hmm, well that location has only a 62% chance. Apachai-kun is already heading over there.<br /><br />Akisame: Honestly the country gave away Akabanetou for free to any municipalities that wanted them. So they’re currently scattered around Japan.<br /><br />Kenichi: What! Then shouldn’t we be guarding museums and art-museums all around Japan?<br /><br />Akisame: Hah, no way…<br /><br />Akisame: They don’t want aesthetically pleasing weapons, but rather ones that have been forged for actual combat.<br /><br />Akisame: So far whether they’re famous or unknown, they’ve managed to find 2 that fit their criteria which they stole.<br /><br />Akisame: So, the other day I looked through the Akabanetou Database and brought up all the locations where knives designed for assassination are kept… / So I’ve spread everyone out to the different places where there’s a high probability of an attack.<br /><br />Page 06:<br /><br />Kenichi: I see…<br /><br />Kenichi: Huh,<br /><br />Kenichi: But why is this location the only place where two masters are stationed?<br /><br />Sakaki: I wonder if “Yami” is going to come<br /><br />Shigure: Lately they’ve been attacking places every…night.<br /><br />Akisame: But that freaking Kenichi, since he wants to strengthen his spirit he was brought along,<br /><br />Akisame: But I really didn’t want to bring him along this time.<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Shigure: Hm…mm. But even though Akisame said we didn’t have enough people, he still placed two of us with Kenichi which was according to your…opinion.<br /><br />Shigure: And he’s hidden outside…and he’s also…distanced?<br /><br />Sakaki: But what if by some chance something happens!<br /><br />Shigure: Fuss…pot!!<br /><br />Sakaki: I’m not!!<br /><br />Sakaki: I have a bad feeling about tonight…<br /><br />Sakaki: That’s all.<br /><br />Shigure: It’s a …<br /><br />Shigure: Fusspot!<br /><br />Sakaki: I SAID I’M NOT!!<br /><br />Sakaki: Hm?<br /><br />Text: Ring<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Sakaki: Oy, how do you answer this phone we borrowed?<br /><br />Text above them: Both don’t have one<br /><br />Shigure: No idea.<br /><br />Sakaki: It’s ringing, hey I said it’s ringing!!<br /><br />Sakaki: Ah, this is a pain!!<br /><br />Sakaki: WHAT IS IT KENICHI!!!<br /><br />Sakaki: Also are you alright?<br /><br />Kenichi: Bu-!!<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Kenichi: Even though they I was a hidden lookout…<br /><br />Kenichi: There’s a suspicious shadow on the castle…<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Sakaki: Shigure!! They’re here!!<br /><br />Shigure: Oooooh Kay.<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Shigure: I’m already fighting…them.<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Sakaki: You Villains came out!<br /><br />Suit of Armour: That way you hold yourselves, it looks like you’re the Ryouzanpaku we’ve heard about.<br /><br />Suit of Armour: But you shouldn’t get involved in things that don’t involve you.<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Kenichi: Woah it started!<br /><br />Kenichi: W-W-W-What do I do!! I was told to stay still…<br /><br />Kenichi: But I can’t see anything from here!!<br /><br />Kenichi: That’s it.

Tsubanari!! Are you here!?<br /><br />Page 06:<br /><br />Mikumo: It’s been a while.<br /><br />Kagerou: …who are you?<br /><br />Mikumo: You can’t remember women’s faces like normal I see.<br /><br />Mikumo: It is I. Kushinada Mikumo of the unarmed division.<br /><br />Kagerou: Mmmmm…Micchan?<br /><br />Mikumo: It is true I was once referred to as Micchan…<br /><br />Mikumo: But what is this, you’ve fallen into ruin?<br /><br />Mikumo: I heard you were defeated by one of Ryouzanpaku…but why have you kept yourself indoors?<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Kagerou: Setsumaru-Setsumaru isn’t here so I have no confidence~<br /><br />HW Kagerou: I could use Setsumaru the best…<br /><br />Mikumo: Setsunamaru…ah, that was a sword from that swordsmith who was apparently closest to the true iron.<br /><br />Mikumo: I see, it seems normal Katana can’t stand your techniques.<br /><br />Mikumo: It’s said finding an excellent sword is a hard time as well…<br /><br />Mikumo: …I happen to know a method of searching for one that has a high chance of success.<br /><br />Kagerou: What?<br /><br />Mikumo: Do you know about the “Akabanetou”?<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Miu: Ufufu, Kenichi-saaan!<br /><br />Sakaki: How long are you going to stay in the festival mood!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Miu-san is so pretty in a Yukata~<br /><br />Sakaki: It seems you didn’t quite understand that you were hit!!<br /><br />Box: He was hit again.<br /><br />Chikage: Ginsuke.<br /><br />Kenichi: Ohh, you gave it a name!<br /><br />Box: Child Mode.<br /><br />Kenichi: However, Chikage-chan left halfway through the night…and when she came to school on the next day…she had those cold eyes again.<br /><br />Kenichi: How’s Ginsuke?<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Kenichi: Let’s leave that aside…more importantly why do you have that many fluorescent lights?<br /><br />Apachai: Aaaapa! I brought a large amount of ones that don’t work anymore!<br /><br />Kenichi: No, that’s not it, I’m more worried about what they’ll be used for.<br /><br />Sakaki: This is a method that I frequently did to practice for weapon fights when I was a brat!<br /><br />Sakaki: Fluorescent Lights' brittle nature acts as a replacement for the dangers of a blade!!<br /><br />Page 10: <br /><br />Kenichi: Baaa-!! You’re going to slash at me with those? What? Why!!?<br /><br />Akisame: Basically, when you can’t avoid the attack and the fluorescent light breaks, it means that if that were a real sword you would have been cut.<br /><br />Box: (Note) This is done under the guidance of masters. It’s dangerous.

Afterwards, they returned the excellent ones to their owners,<br /><br />Sakaki: Katana?<br /><br />Akisame: But around 4500 swords are still kept by the country as their owners are unknown.<br /><br />Honmaki: You’re very well informed like normal.<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Honmaki: Lately, there have been robberies at every place where the Akabanetou are kept.<br /><br />Sakaki: So just sneaky thieves! / That’s not a job for us.<br /><br />Honmaki: No, that’s not necessarily the case.<br /><br />Honmaki: It hasn’t been revealed to the public,<br /><br />Honmaki: But, there have been two people cutting down policemen<br /><br />Sakaki: What!?<br /><br />HonmakI: Judging from the brilliant swordsmanship that was observed, it’s guessed that the criminal group is probably “Yami”.<br /><br />Honmaki: As the rumours go, though we’re not sure if this is a lie or the truth, they're a force that are fully armoured with just one katana each, and that this one unit can deal with large number of opponents.<br /><br />Honmaki: We want to stop these people from getting these excellent Katana at all costs.<br /><br />Page 16:<br /><br />Akisame: There is an extremely low supply of excellent weaponry…<br /><br />Akisame: This would’ve been a long running problem for those in “Yami’s” weapon users…<br /><br />Honmaki: Basically, we can’t allow them to take any more famous swords.<br /><br />Honmaki: Could you please assist us with this.<br /><br />Sakaki: Heheh, this is pretty good timing, I think it’s time for another “Underground Society Field Trip”, / And this one smells pretty dangerous. Kenichi should stay here.<br /><br />Kenichi: I’m going too!<br /><br />Kenichi: Even Tanimoto-kun is delving deeper into the world of “Yami”,<br /><br />Shigure: 0…points.<br /><br />Kenichi: I can’t be the only one that avoids this!!<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Sakaki: Ohhh, pretty gutsy!!<br /><br />Honmaki: He’s pretty determined…<br /><br />Kenichi: Actually I quit!!<br /><br />Kenichi: I-I’ll go! I’ll go!! Though my heart is determined, my body acted on its own…<br /><br />Other police dude: Inspector.<br /><br />Honmaki: Yes.<br /><br />Honmaki: There also is another thing that’s worrying me.<br /><br />Honmaki: From the testimonies of those who survived, amongst the number of criminals who held weapons there was,<br /><br />Honmaki: One person fighting unarmed.<br /><br />Ma: …but the Weapon Users and the Unarmed Division have been hostile since ancient times.<br /><br />Elder: There’s been a change…<br /><br />Page 18:<br /><br />Elder: It seems some large wave has stirred up amongst them.<br /><br />Elder: Everyone make sure you’re 120% prepared for this!!

I know that one too.<br />TL Note: In Chinese, Ba Ji = Hakkyoku.<br /><br />Both of them: SEI SHIN KOU!!!<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Tanimoto: He even knows Hakkyoku Ken!!<br />TL Note: In Chinese, Ba Ji Quan = Hakkyoku Ken!!<br /><br />Tanimoto: Kuaah!!<br /><br />Tanimoto: Hey, no good master!!

Oh, whenever my brain's doing maximum revs this always happens.<br /><br />Kenichi: So, what have you been planning since the morning on maximum revs?<br /><br />Niijima: Do I have to be planning something every time I’m using my brain!?<br /><br />Miu: Ahhh!! Could it be love troubles?<br /><br />Miu: If that’s the case, I may not be much help but I could listen to your worries!!<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Kenichi: No no. With this guy that’s the one thing that’s impossible. His favourite type is an interplanetary life form.<br /><br />Miu: Ehh, really~<br /><br />Niijima: More like, you wouldn’t be much use at all, but you just want to know, she’s a complete sticky beak…<br /><br />Niijima: All right,<br /><br />Niijima: I’ve noticed something incredibly worrying with the information my spies got when they infiltrated Yomi.<br /><br />Kenichi: The information from Loki’s group, who you managed to make your underlings?<br /><br />Niijima: Yeah, from their last information they risked their life for…<br /><br />Number 20: LOKI-SAMA! I CAN’T LAST MUCH LONGERRRR~<br /><br />Loki: RUN NUMBER 20! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Oy, what sort of unreasonable things did you make them do?<br /><br />Niijima: We found out who the 10th Master of Yomi is…<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh!?<br /><br />Niijima: His name is Ma Sougetsu!! The Chinese Kung Fu Master who’s praised as the “Fierce Fist God”!!<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />Kenichi: Ma Sougetsu!? C-Could that be…<br /><br />Kenichi: Ma Sifu’s older brother!!?<br /><br />Niijima: Yeah, out of all the masters employed on Despair Island, he was the strongest…<br /><br />Niijima: He was the man that took out all the other masters just by himself!!<br /><br />Niijima: And…<br /><br />Page 06-07:<br /><br />Niijima: Hermits, Tanimoto’s…<br /><br />Niijima: Only master!!<br /><br />Miu: B-But that means that the last Yomi would…<br /><br />Niijima: Yeah… the result I’ve gathered from calmly processing the data…<br /><br />Niijima: Tanimoto Natsu, codenamed Hermit… the probability that he’s the 10th Yomi is…<br /><br />Kenichi: N-No way!!<br /><br />Niijima: Extremely high!<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Tanimoto: …so,<br /><br />Tanimoto: What did you need to ask me directly?<br /><br />Kenichi: Yeah! I managed to shake off Niijima who was trying to stop me, and there’s something I have to ask!! Though I don’t think it’s possible at all…<br /><br />Box: It seems he was shaken off around here.<br /><br />Kenichi: Well, right now I think we should be clear about this!<br /><br />Kenichi: Would there be any chance that you’re Yomi? Just say Loki… I mean Niijima’s Spy’s information made us think that you might be!<br /><br />Girl: Good morning, Prince Tanimoto!!<br /><br />Tanimoto: Ahh, morning!<br /><br />Kenichi: Ahh, hello?<br /><br />Tanimoto: Ahh, morning Kenichi. You’re annoying in the morning like normal!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Can’t you answer me seriously?<br /><br />Kenichi: This is really bugging me!!<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Tanimoto: Which one do you want?<br /><br />Tanimoto: I’ll answer in the way you want me to!<br /><br />Kenichi: Guh-…<br /><br />Tanimoto: Ah, I have to go to the staffroom now! See you later!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Hey… Tanimoto!!<br /><br />Kenichi: …could it… no… but…<br /><br />Kenichi: …could it be…<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Rachel: Hey!

And before we knew it~<br /><br />Flag: That girl pissed me off in the beginning, but now I’m a fan!!<br /><br />Other guy: You idiot! Don’t say that!!<br /><br />Kenichi: They’re pretty carefree since they don’t know anything…<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Sieg: That lady’s musical technique is a little raw…<br /><br />Sieg: But there’s strength to live facing against one’s own fate in it.<br /><br />Kenichi: Uwah!

I thought you had gone back, but what are you doing being so clingy to people’s Kenichi!?<br /><br />Renka: And it seems like you’ve strangely gathered a few fans, you’re showing off again!<br /><br />Kenichi: What does she mean by “People’s Kenichi”…?<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />Renka: I’ll show you that you’ll be lower to me your entire life, have a look at this!!

Something like Ro Jisei.<br /><br />Rachel: The disciple is unsociable, but either way he’s a completely different type to your friend Tanimoto.<br /><br />Rachel: No, could you finally tell me something?<br /><br />Rachel: Where is my Maestro the “Laughing Fist”!?<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh, I don’t know anything about that…<br /><br />Renka: Hey, what are you doing!?<br /><br />Rachel: Ouch!<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Miu: What, it’s different?<br /><br />Kenichi: Yeah, I found out.<br /><br />Niijima: Thank goodness~<br /><br />Niijima: YOUR BRAIN IS TOO CAREFREE!!<br /><br />Kenichi: What are you trying to say!?<br /><br />Niijima: What sort of idiot would be relieved after getting information from the enemy ABOUT the enemy!?<br /><br />Kenichi: No, she didn’t lie, if you saw her eyes you’d know!!<br /><br />Niijima: As if you could know!! There are heaps of people in this world who could easily deceive your eyes!!<br /><br />Miu: Ohh, that’s not a nice wind.<br /><br />Kenichi: Anyway, how could Tanimoto-kun betray us after fighting with us so many times!!<br /><br />Niijima: You’re naïve! You’re too naïve Kenichi!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Either way, this case is closed!!<br /><br />Page 16 – 17:<br /><br />Man: There’s someone here for you.<br /><br />Man: An old friend of yours.<br /><br />Yomi: He’s finally come huh…<br /><br />Man: No matter what, you have to fight him?<br /><br />Man: Of course.

Waitress!!<br /><br />Kenichi: You’re going to India tomorrow!?<br /><br />Kenichi: …even so,<br /><br />Kenichi: You shouldn’t leave without saying goodbye to everyone at school!<br /><br />Ethan: For some reason everyone seemed to like you, so you had heaps of friends!!<br /><br />HW Girl: Ethan-kun<br /><br />HW Guy: Oy Ethan<br /><br />Page 06:<br /><br />Ethan: Ultimately, it was a fake life…with fake friends…<br /><br />Ethan: When the rain falls it will was it all away…and eventually it shall rain.<br /><br />Kenichi: This guy…<br /><br />Kenichi: Is the same age as me…or maybe even just close to my age…<br /><br />Kenichi: But he must have lived in a world that I can’t even begin to imagine…<br /><br />Page 07:<br /><br />Kenichi: No, you really should properly say farewell to everyone.<br /><br />Kenichi: It’s not fake!<br /><br />Kenichi: Who cares about the reason, they’re your real classmates!!<br /><br />Ethan: That’s just training…to blend into normal society…there wasn’t any ill intentions behind it.<br /><br />Kenichi: Wait Ethan!!<br /><br />Kenichi: …I thought he was the most honest of Yomi…<br /><br />Page 08:<br /><br />Sakaki: Ahhhh…<br /><br />Sakaki: In the end, our surprise attack result in anything…<br /><br />Akisame: Don’t worry<br /><br /> Akisame: It’s good we crushed one of Yami’s facilities.<br /><br />Ma: But is it really alright if we don’t look after that girl from Yomi?<br /><br />Kenichi: I-It seems that the Kalarippayattu Master is going to look after her…<br /><br />Kenichi: She’s probably going to India togeth-…. Kiiiii it’s heavy!!<br /><br />Elder: The main thing is that Ken-chan is alright.<br /><br />Elder: That girl’s position should improve, everything is OK!<br /><br />Elder: What’s with those eyes? <br /><br />Kenichi: “Korui Nuki” is a really dangerous skill!!<br /><br />Kenichi: I’m glad it luckily broke through his guard, but was that really what the Elder was planning with that training…<br /><br />Page 09:<br /><br />Kenichi: What’s so funny!! Ottotto!<br /><br />Sakaki: Kenichi, if you were against someone’s guard, and you found where the thin place known as the “Korui” was located like the old man said,<br /><br />Sakaki: If you kicked with all the power you had…well I don’t think there’s anyone in the disciple class that would be able to defend against that.<br /><br />Kenichi: Eh? No way!?<br /><br />Kenichi: But I’m not good with forceful techniques. I won’t be able to use it well…<br /><br />Elder: Ken-chan.<br /><br />Kenichi: Gyaa!!<br /><br />Akisame: It fell, another 10 minutes.<br /><br />Elder: Oh, sorry.<br /><br />Elder: When there are times that you know there will be some damage,<br /><br />Elder: They are also times when you should try to face them head on.<br /><br />Kenichi: Face them head on…<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Box: Airport<br /><br />Rachel: What, your Guru’s personal craft hasn’t left?<br /><br />Rachel: There’s something that bothers me,<br /><br />Rachel: Is seems like Ryouzanpaku did something. Though consequently I’m glad I’m not going to be the disciple of the Demon Fist God.<br /><br />Ethan: You shouldn’t step on that, Nee-san.<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Rachel: You were defeated by that boy?<br /><br />Ethan: Yeah.<br /><br />Rachel: What was he like?<br /><br />Ethan: Roughly…he’s a man who isn’t suited for fighting…but,<br /><br />Ethan: How can I say this…he is a man who also has an enormous “Heart”.<br /><br />Rachel: Hmm, he really is a weird guy…I really want to fight him properly sometime.<br /><br />Rachel: It’s almost time Ethan.<br /><br />Kenichi: Oyyyy!!<br /><br />Page 12:<br /><br />HW Girl: Rachel~<br /><br />Kenichi: Do it properly, / Say your goodbyes.<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />HW Girl: Ethan<br /><br />Someone: You’re being too distant!!<br /><br />Someone else: That’s right!!<br /><br />Someone else else: You’re all beaten up! Did you get into a fight?<br /><br />Someone else else else: Ethan’s a good guy, he probably got attacked!<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />HW Big text: Yay<br /><br />HW text, on each side: Rachel<br /><br />Kenichi: Last night, though I’m not in their class, I called everyone up to explain what was happening, and everyone came to see you.<br /><br />Kenichi: Now we can say farewell properly.<br /><br />Ethan: Heh…<br /><br />Miu: You can’t really hate those two.<br /><br />Kenichi: Yeah, especially Ethan…<br /><br />Kenichi: Ugh…I’m tearing up…<br /><br />Miu: No one from the Shinpaku Alliance came?<br /><br />Kenichi: Niijima told them not to. Though it was mainly because everyone would have wanted to test their skills and challenge him<br /><br />Kenichi: Sigh…<br /><br />Kenichi: We could’ve been friends much better than I’m friendly with Niijima, Ethan-kun.<br /><br />Page 17:<br /><br />Kenichi: Well, I’m also teary since his sister will leave me alone since she won’t be able to do anything to me anymore.<br /><br />Rachel: He’s the demon that took everything away from me!!<br /><br />Rachel: Don’t misunderstand me ♡<br /><br />HW People: Let’s go guys<br /><br />Miu: Watch out!<br /><br />Kenichi: Miu-san!!?<br /><br />Kenichi: Deya!!<br /><br />Rachel: Ufu ♡<br /><br />Kenichi: Huh!? What’s this!? Paper? An envelope?<br /><br />Miu: C-Castor!?<br /><br />Rachel: Hiii~ ♡<br /><br />Kenichi: Wait, why are you still here Rachel!? / Weren’t you going to India together!?<br /><br />Rachel: Huh~ You got confused? The only one who’s going to India is my little brother. Until I find out the specifics about the location of my Maestro, I’m not leaving the Japanese facilities!<br /><br />Rachel: Ah,<br /><br />Rachel: My little brother gave me that letter, I’ve handed it over. ♡ See ya!!<br /><br />Letter: Please look after my sister.<br /><br />Star Text: Next Issue, a new chapter begins<br /><br />Box: Continued in issue 41<br /> Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:29:21 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/15703 http://mangahelpers.com/t/rogue_sapphire/releases/15448 TL Foreward: Personally, I believe the way Sakaki speaks is best translated as someone who curses/swears a lot. Unfortunately, since I'm an Australian translator that means I've been a bit more liberal with it. Tell me what you think of it, should Sakaki talk like that or not?<br /><br />Kenichi 350<br /><br />Page 01: <br /><br />Side Text: One Master! Two Masters!! Three Masters!!! One Man! Two Men!!

It’s like they’re all over Japan!<br /><br />Akisame: It’s proof that “Yami” is popular with members in the upper echelons of the government. / If we are going to make sure we give them no openings and send the members of Yami we catch to Big Lock, we’re going to have to place importance on haste and use blitzkrieg tactics.<br /><br />Man: Wait wait wait!! Are you Ryouzanpaku?<br /><br />Man: These people will be caught by us, the Japanese Police. You shall not deviate from your position as advisors.<br /><br />Page 06:<br /><br />Sakaki: Oy, that’s different to what we talked about!!<br /><br />Commanding Officer: As the commanding officer on site, the authority has been entrusted to me. / Anyone that won’t obey can leave right now.<br /><br />Akisame: Calm down.<br /><br />Sakaki: But Akisame, won’t the blitzkrieg you’ve planned go to waste this way!?<br /><br />Commanding Officer: I don’t care if you’re some extreme martial art group or whatever,<br /><br />Commanding Officer: I don’t trust amateurs. <br /><br />Akisame: Calm down.<br /><br />Man: Kuh-<br /><br />Commanding Officer: Either way, the people in there don’t have a lot of weapons!<br /><br />Commanding Officer: This will be over quick.

These are flash grenades; they’ll temporarily stun the targets with sound and light. We won’t kill them.<br /><br />Akisame: …that’s not it.<br /><br />Akisame: I’m worried about your team’s formation.<br /><br />Akisame: It’s obviously too confined. It’ll be dangerous unless it’s spread out a little more.<br /><br />Officer: What sort of crap…<br /><br />Page 11:<br /><br />Police: Go in!! Restrain everyone!!<br /><br />Police: There’s only one man!!<br /><br />Police: He’s just sitting down not moving!!

That’s a jolting vocalisation!!<br /><br />Akisame: Anyone that heard it directly is going to fall into a state of confusion!! / At this rate they’ll all be wiped out!!<br /><br />Officer: What!? Oy, wait!!<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Akisame: The enemy is probably the Kalarippayattu user…<br /><br />Akisame: The man with the fists of Brahman<br /><br />Akisame: Sehrul Rahmann<br /><br />Ma: If that’s true this will be difficult.<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Sakaki: What the fuck, is everyone dead!?<br /><br />Akisame: No.<br /><br />Akisame: Everyone has had their Marmam hit, their organs are stopping!!<br /><br />Ma: If we don’t open up the holes, they’ll all go to the other side!!<br /><br />Ma: Fmmm!!<br /><br />Police: Ugh!!<br /><br />Akisame: It’s a race against time, let’s hurry Kensei!!

Can't bend it, so looks like Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Translating today...<br />Chapter is pretty good, enjoy. Also remember the Kenichi Thread in the forums, it should get a bit more love than it does.<br />Also, people that used to talk at jcafe, the url has changed to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcafe24.net/">http://www.jcafe24.net/</a> , the Kenichi thread is still there, and still the biggest topic in the Winny Club. <br /><br />Chapter 348 <br />Page 01:<br /><br />History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi<br /><br />Believing in his feelings through the correct use of his fists<br /><br />Page 02:<br /><br />Kenichi: I’ve got no choice but to use the new technique the Elder taught me…<br /><br />Kenichi: “Korui Nuki”<br /><br />Kenichi: Eeeek!!<br /><br />Page 03:<br /><br />Elder: Listen up, when you keep on attacking and defending, the state in which your defense has been isolated rather than subconscious…<br /><br />Elder: That’s called “Korui”<br /><br />Elder: Over the last few days we’ve trained your ability to see through that power!!<br /><br />Kenichi: B-But that training was too fast, and I couldn’t really completely obtain it right!?<br /><br />Elder: You idiot!! This isn’t something you can’t complete through training!!<br /><br />Page 04:<br /><br />Elder: However, the results of what has already been done through training is about to come out!!<br /><br />Elder: Especially since you already have such giant foundations built within!!<br /><br />Elder: Ever since you first came to Ryouzanpaku, everyone discussed this at great length…<br /><br />Elder: Basically we focused on thoroughly raising your foundations. The foundations of the martial artist Shirahama Kenichi lays within your lower half…<br /><br />Elder: Your legs and hips!!<br /><br />Page 05:<br /><br />HW Girl: Haha, what is that kid doing<br /><br />HW Kenichi: Why am I the only one that’s noticeable?!<br /><br />Kenichi: Where’s the Korui!?<br /><br />Kenichi: There is it…gwah!!<br /><br />Chikage: His hand was knocked away!!<br /><br />Miu: Ahhh! Oh no!!<br /><br />Page 06 - 07:<br /><br />Elder: It’s a technique where you directly use the power of your legs and hips…that is basically a kick!!<br /><br />Chikage: That’s unfortunate…the guard is above!<br /><br />Page 08 – 09<br /><br />Kenichi: Korui Nuki!!<br /><br />Page 10:<br /><br />Chikage: P-Pollux’s guard was broken!!<br /><br />Miu: W-What power!!?<br /><br />Miu: That was like he used the leg power he uses to jump from building to building, and the control of his centre of gravity…<br /><br />Miu: He seemed to pour all that power into one point of impact!!<br /><br />Chikage: Ahhh!!<br /><br />Chikage: W-Why didn’t I notice that just now…his centre of gravity…<br /><br />Page 11: <br /><br />Chikage: Was like he had roots planted in the ground…<br /><br />Kenichi: W-When you’re guarding, it requires a small part of your consciousness… / I practiced pouring all of my power into that place…<br /><br />Page 12:<br /><br />Kenichi: So the technique I just used…<br /><br />Kenichi: Was all of my power!!<br /><br />Ethan: Muuuuu…<br /><br />Page 13:<br /><br />Ethan: Sister…<br /><br />Page 14:<br /><br />Ethan: I’m sorry…<br /><br />Chikage: That’s enough!<br /><br />Chikage: It was dangerous, but this man defeated that Pollux…<br /><br />Chikage: This has finished with an unexpected result.<br /><br />Chikage: As the overseer to this fight, I announce the victor is Ryouzanpaku’s…<br /><br />Kenichi: Stop!!<br /><br />Kenichi: It’s not over yet!!<br /><br />Page 15:<br /><br />Kenichi: Now we have to go rescue Yomi’s Castor, his sister Rachel Stanley!!<br /><br />Page 16: <br /><br />Kenichi: If we can do that then it will be, Ryouzanpaku’s…no a victory for the Katsujin Ken!!<br /><br />Kenichi: Right, Miu-san?<br /><br />Miu: Yeah!<br /><br />Chikage: Are you two sane?<br /><br />Kenichi: Miu-san, can you perform the first aid please.<br /><br />Kenichi: There was no room for me to hold myself back.<br /><br />Miu: Ok.<br /><br />Chikage: Do you understand? If you’re going to save Castor, <br /><br />Chikage: That means fighting a battle at one of Yami’s bases right?<br /><br />Kenichi: Ahh!!
