Naoyoshi：（一体どれほどの剣なのか――――）
(Just how powerful is this art of the sword------?)

Naoyoshi：・・・・
....
Hyugas?：でも千人ってのは
That whole one thousand men thing
Naoyoshi：うん
Yeah
Hyugas?：ウソだよなきっと・・・・

Naoyoshi：（見極めてやる――――）
(We’ll see about that------)
Naoyoshi：行くぞ・・・・
Let’s go....

They’ve got an impressive front gate
Kosaburo：兄上
Big brother
Masato：ハッ

If you’re not then we’re just going to accumulate more swords out here
Naoyoshi：！？

Naoyoshi：・・・・まさか

Sorry, but....

Gama：俺が認めた武芸者以外
Only the martial artists I approve of
Gama：その門の中へは入れないから・・
Can pass through that gate..

Everyone：！！
!!

Gama：・・おっと
..Woah
Gama：安心してよ
Relax

Page 13
Gama：武器無しで相手してあげるから・・・・
I’m going to fight you without a weapon....

Naoyoshi：――――！
------!
Naoyoshi：（このガキ・・・・）
(This kid....)
Naoyoshi：（何ちゅーこと―――！）
(What the hell is this-----!?)

Naoyoshi：！
!
Masato：クク・・
Heheh..
Masato：バカにしてんのかガキ・・・・
You making fun of us, kid....?

Masato：俺達ゃ“鬼の巣”でも名を売れた日向兄弟だぜ？
We’re the Hyuga Brothers, y’know? We’ve earned quite a reputation in “The Demons’ Lair”

Masato：贓物をそこら中にぶちまけたくねぇなら
If you don’t want your guts to end up all over the place
Masato：俺の機嫌を損ねねぇよう言動には十分気をつけなクソガキ・・・・
Then you better make damn sure you don’t piss me off, you shitty little brat....

Page 14
Kosaburo：フ！
Hm!
Kosaburo：まあまあ兄上相手は童
Now, now, brother, he’s a kid
Kosaburo：ここは俺が・・・・
I’ll take care of him....

Masato：――――ちっ
------Tch
Masato：しゃーねえな・・・・
Guess I got no choice, then....

Naoyoshi：小三郎・・・・
Kosaburo....
Kosaburo：ねえ・・・・
Hey....

Kosaburo：君・・
Judging by your looks...
Kosaburo：見たとこまだ１２・３才ってとこだろ？
You’re only around 12 or 13, right?
Gama：ム
Mm
Gama in panel：１４才だよ
I’m 14!

Kosaburo：我々は名のある剣客
We’re famous swordsmen
Kosaburo：童相手に剣を抜くなど下衆な振る舞い・・・・
We would never risk our honor by doing something as barbaric....

Kosaburo：己の誇りにかけ
As drawing our swords
Kosaburo：断じてせぬ！
On a child!

Gama：え？
Huh?
Gama：そーなの？
Is that so?

Page 15
Kosaburo：な~~~~んてね
Juuuussst kidding
Kosaburo：ウソ♥
I lied ♥
Gama：！
!

Naoyoshi：（ダメだ！！）
(No good!!)
Naoyoshi：（やられる！）
(He’s going to get himself killed!)

Naoyoshi：（油断しすぎだ！）
(You’ve let your guard down too much!)
Naoyoshi：（バカなガキめ！！）
(You stupid kid!!)

Page 16
Kosaburo：・・ウフ
...Oohoo
Kosaburo：ウフフ・・
Oohoohoo..

Naoyoshi：（何！）
(What!?)

Page 17
Kosaburo：つ・・つ
Ow..ow

Gama：あぶね~~剣は抜かないって言ったのに
That was daaangerous! You said you weren’t going to draw your sword
Gama：一瞬油断しちゃったよ
I was caught off guard for a second there
Gama：卑怯だな~~
That was soooo unfair

Gama：ありゃっ！白目むいてる！！
Oh no! His eyes are rolling back in his head!!
Gama：肘が水月に入っちゃったか！
My elbow must’ve hit him in a vital area!*
MARGIN NOTE: *Refers to the mouth of the stomach. Hitting this area will leave your opponent without air and may knock them unconscious. Thanks to Serizawa for this info.

Page 18
Gama：しょうがない・・・・よっと！
No choice now....and up!
Gama：あと・・・・
Also....
Gama：今の“抜き打ち”だけど「パッ」じゃなくて「シュパッ」じゃないと！まあ理想は「ピッ」だけど
About that “nuki-uchi”* just now, it shouldn’t go “pah”, it should go “shoopah”! Although, ideally it would go “pee”
MARGIN NOTE: *Drawing your sword and cutting someone at the same time. Gama is talking about the noise the action should make, as opposed to the noise it did.

Naoyoshi：（小三郎が・・）
(He..)
Naoyoshi：（やられた！？）
(Took out Kosaburo!?)

Naoyoshi：（今の抜き打ち）
(At that distance)
Naoyoshi：（回避不能な距離だったはず！）
(He shouldn’t have been able dodge that nuki-uchi!)

Naoyoshi：（それが刀まで奪われて・・・・）
(But he did, and he even stole his sword....)
Naoyoshi：（どんな技を使ったんだ！？）
(What kind of technique was that!?)

Naoyoshi：なんてガキだ・・・・！！
What a kid....!!
Masato：・・・・ホォ・・
....Ho..

Page 19 + Page 20
Masato：（大亀流―――思ったより楽しめそうだ・・・・）
(The Ogame style----this looks like it’s going to be more fun that I thought....)
Naoyoshi：・・・・おおい・・
....Heeey..

Gama：じゃあついてきて・・
Okay, follow me..
Naoyoshi：！？
!?

Naoyoshi：は？
Huh?

Gama：続きは中でやろう
We’ll continue inside

Gama：卑怯なところが気に入った
I liked that whole unfair thing
Gama：合格
You pass

Naoyoshi：――――！

Senka：ウチのガマがとんだ御無礼を・・・・
My apologies, Gama was quite rude....

Senka：私は先代当主の娘
I am Senka
Senka：千花と申します
Daughter of the former head of the school

Senka：今　ケガをなされた方は奥の間で寝ていただいてますわ
Right now we’re having your injured friend sleep in the back room
Senka：まずはお寛ぎになってお客様
Please relax for the time being, honored guests

Naoyoshi：い　いや俺達は客じゃ・・・・
Err, we’re not really....
Masato：ガキの次は女かよ・・・・
First a kid and now a girl....?

Gama：千花さん
Senka-san
Gama：今日はやけに化粧が濃いね
You really slathered on the makeup today
Senka：黙りなさい
Quiet
Senka：フフ・・中々身分が高そうな殿方♥
Hehe..these two seem rather upper-class ♥

Page 22
Senka：客人でなければ今日はどのようなご用で？
So, if you’re not guests, then what brings you here today?
Gama：・・・・

Kosaburo：ウフ
Oohoo
Kosaburo：ウフ
Oohoo
Kosaburo：ウフフフフフ
Oohoohoohoohoohoo
Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......
Naoyoshi：な・・なぁに簡単なことです
I-It’s..quite simple

Naoyoshi：当主・黒鉄陣介と
I would like to have a fight
Naoyoshi：戦わせてもらいたい！
With the head of the school, Kurogane Jinsuke!

Senka：え！？
Huh!?

Gama：――――！
------!

Gama：陣介と・・
You want to fight...
Gama：やる・・？
With Jinsuke..?
Senka：・・・・
....
Naoyoshi：何だどうした・・・？
What? What’s wrong...?

Page 23
Gama：ここにはいないよ陣介は・・・・
Jinsuke isn’t here....
Naoyoshi：！！？
!!?

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......
Naoyoshi：な・・・・
Wha....

Naoyoshi：バ　バカな・・・！
A-Absurd....!
Naoyoshi：いないって・・
He’s not here..?
Gama：・・・・
....
Gama：本当だよ
I’m serious

Gama：もう何年も前から
No one’s known his whereabouts
Gama：行方知れずさ
For a few years now

Senka：・・・・残念ながら
....It’s unfortunate
Senka：今ウチは道場にいる弟子もガマ一人でして・・
But Gama is currently the only student at our school..

Page 24
Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......
Naoyoshi：（そ・・そんな・・・・）
(N-No way....)

Masato：クク・・・・
Heheh....

Masato：くっくっくっ
Heh! Heh! Heh!
Masato：こいつは傑作だぜ！
What a blunder!

Masato：とんだ無駄足ってわけだ！
This was one hell of a wasted trip!
Naoyoshi：！
!
Masato：こんな山奥まで来て
To think, we come all the way up here in the mountains

Masato：伝説の男どころか
And not only is there no legendary man
Masato：こんなガキ一人とは・・・・
There’s just this one kid....

Page 25
Masato：下らねえ・・・・
How worthless....
Masato：実に下らねえクズ流派だぜ！
This is truly a worthless waste of a school!

Masato：直善さんよ金はきっちりくれよ・・クク・・
Pay up, Naoyoshi-san..heheh..

Masato：もう用は済んだ
We’re done here
Masato：さっさと帰るぜ
Let’s hurry up and get the hell home

Naoyoshi：・・・・
....

Gama：ニャハハハ
Nyahahaha

Page 26
Gama：いいね・・・・アナタみたいな奴キライじゃないよ
Nice....I like guys like you
Nao & Masa：！？
!?

Masato：あ？
Huh?

Naoyoshi：？
?

Gama：姿勢を見ればわかる
Hyuga-san, was it!?
Gama：日向さんだっけ！？
I can tell by looking at your posture
Gama：アンタさっき俺が倒した奴より数段強いでしょ？
You’re a good deal stronger than that guy I beat earlier, right?

Gama：・・・・・・戦ろうよ
......Let’s fight
SFX：コキ
*Gulp*
Gama：さっきの続き
We’ll continue where we left off

Page 27
Gama：もし俺に勝てたら
If you can beat me
Gama：大亀流の看板やるよ
I’ll give you the school’s sign*
MARGIN NOTE: *Giving up the sign would mean the permanent closing of the school.

Gama：まあ勝てたらだけど
If you can beat me, that is
Masato：・・・・小僧
....Boy

Naoyoshi：（このガキ・・こりずにまた挑発を・・・・）
(This kid..he’s provoking Masato despite what happened earlier....)
Naoyoshi：（止めるべきか・・・・？）
(Should I stop him....?)

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......

Naoyoshi：（このガキの力量）
(Although)
Naoyoshi：（計り知れないところが・・・・）
(His strength is unfathomable....)

Page 28
Masato：木剣とれやガキ
Take a wooden sword, kid
Masato：息の根止めてやる！
I’m gonna beat the life outta you!
Naoyoshi：！
!

Gama：・・・・
....

Gama：千花さんはじ行ってなよ
Get back against the wall, Senka-san
Senka：んもう！
Aw, come on!

Masato：クク・・ガマよ
Heheh...Gama
Masato：俺は　あのカスとはわけが違うぜ？
Y’know I’m not the same as my piece-of-shit brother, right?

Gama：！
!

Page 29
Senka：―――――！
-------!

Gama：な！
Wha!?

Gama：木刀を指でくだいた！
He crushed a wooden sword with his finger!

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
(........)
Naoyoshi：（これが雅人の力！）
(That’s Masato’s power!)

Naoyoshi：（日向兄弟が仕合うとき強敵を相手にするのは必ず兄　雅人）
(When the Hyuga brothers fight, it’s always the older brother, Masato, that takes on the strong opponents)
Naoyoshi：（日向流の名は雅人が世に響かせたんだ）
(He’s made the reputation of the Hyuga school known throughout the world)

Naoyoshi：（はたしてこいつがどこまでやれるのか・・）
(Just how much can this kid really do..?)
Gama：・・・・
....
Gama：フーン・・・・ところでさ
Hmmm....so

Page 30
Gama：このバカ力って
How is this silly power of yours
Gama：剣の勝負にどう役立つの？
Useful in a swordfight?
Masato：！！

Masato：クソガキ
You shitty little brat
Masato：テメエは血ヘドでぐちゃぐちゃにしてブチ殺す！！
I’m gonna kill you by making you choke on your own bloody vomit!!

Page 32
Gama：・・・・・・
......
Gama：面白い構えだね・・・・
That’s an interesting stance....

Masato：・・・・いつでもいいぜ？
....Whenever you’re ready

Senka：まったく仕方ないわね~~ガマったら
That Gama, he’s completely incorrigible
Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......

Page 33
Masato：・・・・・・
......

Gama：・・・・！
....!
Gama：ありゃ！？
Huh!?

Page 34
Gama：なっ・・・・はずれない！
Wha....I can’t get away!
Masato：クク・・・・
Heheh....

Masato：どうだガマよ？
What now, Gama?
Masato：（俺は油断はしねぇ）
(I ain’t gonna let my guard down)

Masato：（あの時すでに刀を抜きかかった小三郎に対し）
(Back there Kosaburo already had his sword drawn)
Masato：（ガマは刀も持たず腰までおろした状態だった）
(And Gama was sitting on his ass and didn’t even have a sword)

Masato：（だが勝った！！）
(But he won!!)

Masato：（この大亀流に）
(Sneak attacks are a dangerous tactic)
Masato：（不用意な攻めは危険！！）
(Versus the Ogame style!!)

Gama：ぐ・・・
Guh....
Masato：（まずは自由を奪う）
(First I’ll deprive him of his freedom)

Page 35
Masato：（動きを止めれば）
(And once I’ve halted his movement)
Gama：はなせ・・
Let go..
Masato：（俺の勝ちだ―――――――！！）
(I’ll be victorious---------!!)

Masato：（これこそが）
(This is)
Gama：！？

Gama：！！

Masato：らぁ！！
Rah!!

Gama：あぐ
Ahguh

Masato：・・まだだ
..I ain’t done yet

Page 37
Masato：左腕を犠牲に致命傷を防いでる！！
You sacrificed your left arm to avoid a lethal injury!!

Gama：！
!

Gama：（――――なっ・・）
(------Wha..)

Gama：（蹴り―――――！！）
(A kick-------!!)

Page 38
Gama：カハ・・
Kahah..

Naoyoshi：・・・・くっ
....Kuh
Naoyoshi：やはり
I guess
Naoyoshi：無謀だったか
It really was foolhardy

Naoyoshi：殺しちまった・・・・・・・・
He killed him........

Page 39
Masato：クックック
Heh! Heh! Heh!
Masato：確かに技はすげぇ・・・・
Your techniques are certainly amazing....

Masato：だが　しょせん道場剣術なのさ
But in the end, they’re just sword techniques you learn in a dojo
Masato：素直でキレイな道場剣術じゃ実戦は勝ちぬけねぇ！
You can’t win in a real fight with pretty, direct dojo sword techniques

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・・・
............
Naoyoshi：！？
!?

Masato：これでこのクズ流派もしまいだな
I guess that’s the end of this worthless school

Gama：今のが実戦？
That was a real fight?
Gama：フフ・・ならとどめは？
Heheh..in that case, where’s the final blow?
Masato：！
!

Masato：！？
!?
Gama：いやぁ・・・・すごかったよ今のケリ・・・・
Well....that kick was really something....

Page 40
Gama：けど軽い！
But your blows are so weak!
Gama：こんな棒キレで俺を潰す気なら
If you’re gonna crush me with a stick like that
Gama：脳天叩き割らないと
Then you gotta split my skull

Masato：！
!
Masato：（バカな・・・・！）
(Ridiculous....!)
Masato：（今の蹴りがきいてねーのか！？）
(My kick had no effect!?)

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・
..........
Naoyoshi：（急所ハズした！？）
(He missed the critical spot!?)

Gama：でも
But
Gama：力をちらすように受けたのに
It was quite effective
Gama：結構キイた
Even though I took it in a way that dispersed its power
Gama：・・・・久々に燃えてきたよ
....It’s been a while since I’ve gotten this fired up

Page 41
Senka：我間のことなら心配いりませんよ
You don’t need to worry about Gama
Naoyoshi：！？
!?

Senka：ここは
Unabara
Senka：あらゆる武芸の集う海原藩の入口のような場所
Is home to all kinds of different martial arts. This school is kind of like its entranceway

Senka：数日に一度は他藩から海原に挑みに来る武芸者達が
Every few days, martial arts masters from other fiefdoms come to fight in Unabara
Senka：この大亀流に道場破りをしかけてくるんです
And to challenge the Ogame school

Naoyoshi：何！？
What!?

Senka：まああの子は
Well, it would seem that Gama
Gama：くっ
Kuh
Senka：調度いい実戦修業くらいに思ってるようですけど
Thinks this will be the perfect training for real battles

Page 42
Senka：あの子は九歳の時から五年間
He’s continued to defeat every challenger
Senka：全ての道場破りに勝ち続けています
In the five years that have passed since he turned nine

Naoyoshi：な！
Wha!?
Naoyoshi：（九歳――――！？）
(Nine------!?)

Senka：大の武芸者達が子供にやられたなんて恥ずかしくて　誰も周りに言いませんよね・・
Most of the martial arts masters are ashamed that they’ve been beaten by a child so they don’t tell anybody..
Senka：だからこの流派の名はすたれたけど・・・・いいんじゃないかしら
That’s why our school’s reputation has fallen by the wayside...but I suppose that’s okay

Senka：だってあの子は最強の父親に勝つために生きてるんだから・・・・
Since Gama lives to defeat the strongest warrior of all: his father....
Gama：よし決めた
Alright, I’ve made up my mind

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
........
Naoyoshi：！？
!?

Page 43 + Page 44
Gama：今から三発でアンタの命をもらう！！
I’m gonna take your life in three blows, starting now!!

Senka：あの子の名は黒鉄我間
That child is Kurogane Gama

Senka：千人斬り――――
The son of the Thousand-Man Slayer------
Senka：黒鉄陣介の子
Kurogane Jinsuke

Page 45
Naoyoshi：黒鉄陣介の子！？
Kurogane Jinsuke’s son!?

Masato：お　俺を三撃で殺すだと・・・・！？
Y-You’re gonna kill me in three attacks....!?
Gama：ああ・・・・
Yeah....

Gama：大亀流
I’ll show you
Gama：見せてやるよ
The Ogame style

Gama：まあ・・・・
Well....
Gama：見えればだけどね・・・・
If you’re able to see it, that is....

Masato：（な・・何だ・・・・この構えは！？）
(Wha...what the...? What is this stance!?)
