Psyren 18

I'm still hoping to finalize the monster hunter script this weekend, stay posted.

01
-Mochizuki!!
sfx - do... (falling sfx)

-He's starting to awaken...
-The gateway to his PSI has begun to open!
bold left: The situation worsens!

-These symptoms...he's gotten the nosebleed and fever far sooner than we did...!
-Huh? What? Awaken?? I don't get it!

-This is bad!
-And now, of all times!?

sfx - su

02
-Warm...~
-haa
-haa

-UWAAAAAH!! M-m-m-my neck!! Get off my neck!!
-Please, don't go...I can't make it on my own when I get sick...
-LET GOOOOOO!

-It's time to come up with a plan
-With this, it's going to be even harder to move everyone from here
-QUIT BREATHING ON ME!!!

-I refuse to accept
-that guy is Tatsuo!!

03
bold: Leap, and soar for the heavens! / Such is the way of the Dragon
white: The first volume of Psyren goes on sale 5/2 (fri)!
bottom right: Iwashiro Toshiaki
CALL.18 - "My turn"

04
-Geez! Just leave him! He's sick, and obviously not going anywhere.
-All we need is a plan to reach the gate for the people who can move

-What the hell are you talking about!? We can't leave him!
-The name's Kirisaki Kabuto! Call me Kirisaki-san! (t/n - he's demanding they "talk up" to him. san is polite because it acknowledges you're lower than the other person)
-The longer we sit here the more likely we'll be hit by that blast!
-And even if you tried running out there carrying some invalid, you'll just become an easy snack for that monster!
-If I'm going to die, I want anything but that!

-And like I keep saying, I refuse to leave someone who can't fend for themselves!
-It goes against what I believe in!

SUMMARY
Ageha and co. were summoned back to Psyren. There they encountered a gigantic "worm" that eats people, and a man who looks exactly like Ageha's junior, Tatsuo. He attacks the group using a gun powered by his PSI. Everyone tries to come up with a plan after he runs out of bullets, but at that moment, Mochizuki Oboro falls ill all of a sudden...!?

05
-Let's brainstorm for a way to save us all
-Because I, too, agree with Ageha

-How long do you think it'll take Mochizuki to recover?
-Hmm...it varies person to person, but maybe 2-3 hours. It'd be nice if he could recover before we're attacked...

-Since we can't move from here,
-That leaves us with no choice but to somehow handle that troublesome long-range Burst of his...

06
-The problem is how long it takes him to reload
-We don't know exactly how much time we have left...

-I bet he can only fire that thing four times! Every time he fired a shot, one of the lights disappeared
-So likely, he has to recharge after they're all spent

-...but wait...even if that gun carries four charges,

-There's nothing forcing him to charge it fully
-He could right now be storing up for one shot!
-If that's true, then he could fire at any moment!!

-...you're right

-No...
-He can't fire until it's fully reloaded

07
-What?

-Look...the light in those circles is divided among all four!
-...well, this angle's pretty bad...
-But you can see, right?
-If he was just charging up individual shots I don't think it would look like that...

-He's right...good catch
-Right?? Right???

-If you're ever in trouble, sweetie, you can always come to me (t/n - he actually calls were "little bunny")
-Despite my looks, I'm a very dependable guy (you see?)
-Do I know you?

08
-Hm?

-NYAAAAAAAHH

-DON'T GET COCKY!
-DON'T GET COCKY!!
-W-w-what the heck!?
-Why'd you guys turn so intimidating all of a sudden!?

-So...
-What exactly IS the plan?

-Feh! Serves you right! You guys can't even come up with a decent plan cuz you're too busy taking care of this invalid!
-We're all dead meat!

-That's ENOUGH! Go ahead and get out of here by yourself!
-We won't waste any more time on you!

09
-KEH!! I GET IT, LOUD AND CLEAR!
-bupaash
-Whether I gotta crawl or creep to the exit, I'll do it myself! You'll regret this!

-And know this!! When it comes to running, hiding, or begging for my life, I'm...
-second...to...none...

-HEY!

-Don't tell me...
-haah?
-This guy's caught it too!?

-Now we definitely can't move from here!

10
-Hou~ (so nice!)

-Just stay put...you'll feel better in a while

-Thank you...
-What an angel!

-What a selfish jerk!

-Um...everyone? I owe you an apology for earlier...
-So...I've mended my ways...let's think of a plan...so we can all get out alive...
-Oh and feel free to call me Kabuto-kun...or just Kabuto is fine too
-Let's be friends!
(t/n - so the joke here is now he's lowering himself to ordinary level by removing the suffix on his name)
-you REALLY only care about yourself!!

11
-Giri...! (grit teeth)

-DAMNIT!
-Who are you!?

-The more I refuse to believe it, the more I'm becoming convinced...
-...those eyes...that profile...
-There's no mistake!

-Asaga-kun...

-Mana Tatsuo!
-Why are you...!?

-The only reason you're pissed is 'cuz you refuse to accept the situation!

12
-Stop thinking about it!
-Worrying won't get you anywhere! Right, "Dragon"?

-Then what are you saying I should do?
-Well I'm giving my brain all the essential vitamins and minerals!

-We don't know how this will all play out, but we do know we're against a PSI user
-So we best be prepared to go all out!

-It must be nice to be as naive as you
-ho ho
-I'm fine with naive
-A sensitive guy like me is too busy looking out for others
(t/n - more literally, he describes himself as delicate and not looking for gain)

-LIKE HELL YOU ARE!! YOU'RE EATING MY MILK AND CROQUETTES!!
-BOO-HOO! THEY'RE ALL MINE! THERE'S NOT A PINT OF MILK LEFT FOR YOU IN THIS WORLD!!
-shut up...

-Oh no!!

13
-He finished reloading!

-And far faster
-than anticipated!

-Say what!?

-Yoshina, Ageha--you stay here and guard those two!
-I'll try to do something about his Burst bullets! Maybe I can dodge them somehow...

14
-Amamiya! What are you doing!?

-The minute they both fell ill, I knew it would come to this

-Don't worry
-I'm already used to this

-I have an idea
-Since you two can't use "Rise", you'll just get in the way

-If I get into trouble,
-Then make sure to look after those guys

-You're crazy!!

15
-It was you two
-who saved my life

-...saved me

-Rise...
bold: Reflexes..."Rise!" (T/N - the kanji, joushou, is without a doubt where the very idea of rise came from. there's tons of ways to render it, like elevate, ascend, raise, rise, release...it's really hard to name these more mundane things in english well, like this line. it's definitely not a special move...she's just saying in general that all her reflexes go up)

-...ever since then, I stopped crying at home

16-17
Kyaku-ryoku-gen-kai-to-ppa
lit. leg power limit breakthrough, so..."leg muscles full power"??
(this stuff is REALLY hard to translate and sound good)

-Now it's my turn to protect you...

18
-Two shots!!

19
-Trance! (kanji is lit. thought wave)

-Who really are you, to cause Asaga so much pain?

-Sit still while I take a look inside your mind
-WMJ (wired mind jack)
white: Amamiya is about to demonstrate her power!

-END-
