Eima：（刀の間合外から上中下段同時攻撃！）
(An attack where we simultaneously strike high, middle, and low from outside of sword range!)

Page 04
Eima：（右は頭）
(The right side goes for the head)
Eima：（左は足）
(The left side goes for the legs)
Eima：（下がっても腹を貫く！）
(And even if he retreats, we’ll run him through!)

Eima：（この同時攻撃は絶対にかわせない！）
(This simultaneous attack absolutely cannot be evaded!)
Eima：（刀では反撃不可能な遠距離から　確実に仕留めてやる！！）
(We’ll take him down from a range where he can’t counterattack with a sword!!)

Baian：ホォ・・・・楽な方法じゃダメか・・・・
Ho....I guess simple methods aren’t going to work....
Baian：（・・・・思った以上だ・・・・）
(....You’re better than I thought....)

Baian：（我間――――）
(Gama------)
Gama：イチチチ・・中段がかすった
Owowow..the middle attack grazed me
Gama：思い通りにはいかないもんだな・・
I guess this isn’t gonna go like I thought..

Hiyoshi：（下段斬りを上に跳んでかわし）
(He dodged the low attack by jumping up)

Eima：（俺の上段斬りを受け止め　その力を利用して・・・・）
(He blocked my high attack and, using its force....)

Baian：・・・・くく
....Heheh
Baian：（中段をも避け間合いの外へ逃げるとはな）
(Dodged the middle attack and escaped outside of our range)

Baian：・・・・ここは「連華」でいく！
....Let’s do “Renge”*!
MARGIN NOTE: Chain of Flowers.
Hiyoshi：！

Eima：！

Eima：な・・・・
Wha....
Eima：（バカな・・・・）
(How absurd....)
Eima：（“刀”相手に「連華」だと！？）
(Using Renge against an opponent with a sword!?)

Eima：（“長刀”や“槍”相手ならともかく）
(It’s one thing to use it against an opponent with a spear or a naginata)
Gama：ん？
Huh?
Gama in panel：れんげ？
Renge?
Eima：（間合いも短くろくな防御術ももたぬ刀相手にそこまで！？）
(But going that far against an opponent with a sword who has short range and poor defensive techniques?)

Baian：奴（ガマ）は強いよ薬師寺
Gama is strong, Yakushiji
Eima：！
!

Baian：だからこそ・・・・
That is why....

Gama：（梅庵が体重を身体の一点に集中させてる）
(Baian is focusing all of his body weight into one spot)

Gama：（捨て身に近い攻めが来る）
(It’s going to be something like a desperation attack)

Gama：（だけど初太刀さえかわして懐に入れば）
(But if I dodge the first swing and get in close)
Gama：（長刀優位が消え俺が勝つ！）
(The naginata’s advantage will disappear and I’ll win!)

Gama：（来た！）
(There it is!)
Gama：（下段――――）
(Low------)

Gama：（・・よし！）
(..Alright!)

Gama：（殺った！！）
(I’ve got him!!)

Page 10
Eima：（よし！）
(Alright!)
Eima：（殺った！！）
(He’s got him!!)

Eima：（梅庵が長刀を極めたとされる所以――――）
(The reason Baian is said to have mastered the naginata------)
Eima：（奴は長刀不利の近間戦も極めているんだ！）
(Is because he’s also mastered it at close range, where it’s at a disadvantage!)

Eima：（―――何！？）

Baian：（バカな―――！！）

Gama：あ　あぶなかったぁ~~~~
Th-That was soooooo close
Gama：これが眉尖刀の威力か！
So that’s the power of Bisentou!

Baian：（そんなことが・・・・！）
(There’s no way....!)

Baian：（あの迅さの刃を鍔元で受けきるとは！）
(To think that he blocked a blade moving that fast with just the sword guard!)

Baian：（なんたる集中力と技量）
(What amazing concentration and skill)
