Shin：忘れたか　二階堂―――――
Nikaidou, have you forgotten-------
Shin：貴様の顔に一太刀入れた男を！！
The man who landed a blow on your face!?

Page 03
Narration：十年前――――
Ten years ago-----
Narration：海原藩城下一天流道場
Dojo of the Itten School, in the town of Jouka, Unabara

Satake：ぁんがぁ！！
Ahngah!!

Satake：ぐぅ・・いてえな真ノ丞
Guh...That hurt, Shinnojou
Satake：ちったあ手加減をしろよ・・
Lighten up a little bit..
Shin：フー
Hmph

Shin：はは　ダメですよ佐竹さん
Haha, I can’t do that, Satake-san
Satake：む
Hm

Shin：そんなこと言ってたらいつまでたっても強くなりませんよ！
You’ll never get any stronger if you keep saying things like that!
Shin narration：それは　まだオレが大亀流の門を叩く前のことだ
That was before I had knocked on the gates of the Ogame School

Page 04
Master：見たか　幸　真ノ丞の剣を
Did you see his swordsmanship, Sachi?
Master：十四にして目録いずれは相当の剣客となるぞ
He’s only 14, but he’s already learned all of my teachings. He’ll be a formidable swordsman someday

Master side of bubble：ついでに顔も良い
And he’s handsome

Master：ワシには息子もおらぬ　いずれは奴にこの一天流を譲ろうと考えておる
I have no son, so I think that I will one day entrust the Itten School to him
Master：お前のムコじゃ！未来の！！
He’ll be your husband! In the future!!
Sachi：！
!

Sachi：ち・・父上ったら
F-Fatherrr

Sachi：・・・・私の・・
....My..

Sachi：（目があった！！）
(He looked at me!!)
Shin：あ！
Ah!
Shin：幸さん！
Sachi-san!

Shin narration：当時の俺は神童などともてはやされていた
At that time I was being lauded as a child prodigy
Shin narration：何事もなければ俺はそのまま幸と結ばれ一天流の当主となっていただろう
If nothing had happened, then I probably would’ve married Sachi and became head of the Itten School

Page 05
Sachi：・・ねぇ真ノ丞さんあのウワサ聞きました？
..Hey, Shinnojou-san, have you heard the rumors?
Shin：ウワサ？
Rumors?
Sachi：ある男にいくつもの流派が潰されているというウワサです・・
Supposedly, some man has smashed several schools..

Shin：・・・・ホォ
....Ho
Shin：流派潰しですか・・
Dojo smashing, huh..?
Sachi：私なんだか怖くて・・・・
I’m kind of scared....
Sachi side of bubble：ウチもねらわれるんじゃないかと・・
That we might be targeted..

Shin：ハハ・・心配いりませんよ
Haha..there’s no need to be concerned
Sachi：え？
Huh?

Shin：そんなことなら大丈夫！一天流とアナタは私が守ってみせる
Don’t worry about something like that! I’ll protect you and the Itten School
Shin：そしていずれこの一天流を五竜にも並ぶ流派にしてみせます
And someday I’ll make Itten a school on par with the Five Dragons

Shin：ハハハ
Hahaha

Sachi：真ノ丞さん・・・・
Shinnojou-san....

Shin narration：俺の自分の人生に不満はなかった
My life lacked nothing
Shin：ム？
Hm?
Shin narration：全てが順風だった
Everything was going my way

Page 06
Shin narration：あの日――――
Until the day------
Shin narration：それが唐突に終わるまでは
When that all ended abruptly

Shin：な・・・・何だ・・？
Wha....what the..?

Sachi：し・・真さん・・
Sh-Shin-san..
Sachi：逃げ・・・・
Run....
Shin：！
!

Page 07
Misaku：・・・・まさかアナタが真ノ丞？
....You’re Shinnojou?
Misaku：強いとの評判だけどまだ子供じゃない
I’ve heard tell of your strength, but you’re still a child

Sachi：・・し・・真・・さん・・・・
..Sh-Shin..san....

Shin：・・・・さ・・
....Sa..
Shin：・・・・幸
....Sachi

Shin：幸・・・・
Sachi....

Shin：おおおおおおおおおおおおお
Oooooooooaaaaaaaaa

SFX：ニィ
*Grin*

Page 09
Shin narration：そいつこそ噂の流派潰し双燕流“凶刃”二階堂美作
Nikadou Misaku, the “murderous blade” of the Souen School. He was the rumored dojo smasher
Shin narration：ついにヤツが我が一天流を狙ってきたのだった――――
And he had finally set his sights on my Itten School------

Misaku：フフフ・・いいじゃないの・・・・・
Heheheh..very good.....

Misaku：流派はクズでもアナタだけは違ったわね
This school may have been trash, but you’re different
Misaku：ホメてあげますよ
I, Misaku, praise you

Misaku：この美作の顔に
For landing a blow
Misaku：一太刀を入れたことを・・・・
On my face....

Page 10
Misaku：でも
But
Misaku：あなたの剣には“狂”がない
Your sword lacks “madness”
Shin：う・・うぐ・・
Uh..uguh..

Shin：・・・・殺せ・・・・よ・・
....Kill....me..

Misaku：アナタみたいな子供殺したって何の価値もないわ
There is nothing to be gained by killing a child like you
Misaku：でもその目・・・・素質はありそうね・・いいわ　今は生かしておいてあげる
But those eyes....I can see the potential in them..very well, I will let you live

Misaku：・・あんまり殺りすぎたせいか外野がうるさくて・・しばらく“鬼の巣”を離れることにしたわ
..Things are starting to get troublesome around here, perhaps because I’ve killed too many..I’m going to leave “The Demons’ Lair” for a while

Misaku：でも私は必ず帰ってくる・・
But I will return..

Misaku：それまでに最強の剣士になりなさい真ノ丞・・・・
Become the ultimate swordsman by the time I do, Shinnojou....
Misaku：そうしたら望み通り殺してあげるわ私の名を上げる踏み台としてね
Then I will use you as a stepping stone to increase my reputation and grant you the death you so desire

Page 11
Misaku：その時がきたらまた
When that time comes

Misaku：遊びましょう
We’ll play again

Page 12
Misaku：・・・・思い出した・・
....I remember..

Misaku：アナタ　あのときのボーヤね・・・・
You were the boy from back then....
Misaku：真ノ丞・・
Shinnojou..
Misaku：一天流の桜　真ノ丞！
Sakura Shinnjou of the Itten School

Shin：一天流は貴様によって潰された
The Itten School was smashed by you
Shin：俺は大亀流に入った・・・・
I joined the Ogame School....
Shin：貴様のいう“狂”を得るためにな
In order to gain the “madness” that you spoke of

Misaku：・・・・ウフ・・
....Heheh..
Misaku：いい目になったねえ・・・・
A nice look has come into your eyes....

Misaku：真ノ丞・・・・逢えて嬉しいわ
Shinnojou....I’m glad we got to meet again

Page 13
Amane：・・・・おい
....Hey
Amane：黙って聞いていれば美作様の知り合いだが知らんが・・・・
It sounds like you’re an acquaintance of Misaku-sama, but I don’t care....
Amane：真ノ丞などという剣客・・・・
I’ve never heard of any swordsman....
Amane：俺は知らんな
Named Shinnojou

Shin & Misaku：！
!
Misaku：雨音さん
Amane-san

Amane：一人で我々三人を相手する？
You’re going to take on all three of us by yourself?
Amane：無名の剣士がナメたことを言う・・・・
A nameless swordsman mocks us....

Amane：・・・・ムカツクよ
....That pisses me off

Amane：お前・・・・
I’m gonna....

Zen：真さん危な――――
Watch out, Shin-sa-------

Page 14
Amane：殺し――――
Kill y------

Page 15
Misaku：（――――！！）
(------!!)


Ranmaru：（い・・）
(A..)

Gama：（居合・・・・）
(A quick draw....)

Zen：（は・・迅ぇえ―――――！！）
(S-So fast-------!!)

Zen：（い・・一瞬で斬り伏せた！！）
(H-He slew him in a heartbeat!!)

Shin：ん？今何か言ったか？
Hm? You were saying something just now?
Shin：ノロマ
Fool

Shin：さあ　早く行け我間
Now, go quickly, Gama
Gama：わ・・わかった・・
A-Alright..

Ukyou：何だ？今の抜きは・・
What the hell was that draw just now..?
Misaku：・・・・フフ・・・・
....Heheh....

Page 16
Misaku：やるわね真ノ丞
You’ve got skill, Shinnojou
Misaku：やはり私の目に間違いなかったわ
My eyes did not deceive me

Shin：お前に再び出会えて嬉しいよ　二階堂
I’m glad we were able to meet again, Nikaidou

Shin：この十年で身につけた技全て貴様に見せてやろう・・・・
I’m going to show you all the techniques I’ve learned in these ten years....
Shin：貴様の断末魔以外この心のざわめきを静める方法はない！！
For nothing other than you dying in agony will quiet my heart!!

Page 17
Gama：直善さん大丈夫か？
You okay, Naoyoshi-san?

Naoyoshi：俺は大丈夫だ
I’m fine
Naoyoshi：それより真さん一人に任せてよかったのか？
More importantly, was it a good idea to leave Shin-san by himself?

Zen：・・・・見たろ？あの居合・・・・
....You saw that quick draw, right...?
Naoyoshi：！
!

Gama：・・・・ああ何年も見てなかったけど・・・・
....Yeah, I haven’t seen that in a long time....
Gama：やっぱりあの人の技のキレ・・ありゃすげぇわ
But the precision of his techniques..is really amazing

Zen：真さんの目――――・・ありゃ完全に殺る気になった時の目だった
That look in his eyes-----..That’s the look he gets when he’s gotten completely serious about killing
Zen：あーゆー時の真さんはハンパな強さじゃねぇ
His strength is no joke when he’s like that

Page 18
Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・・・・・そうか
..............I see
Naoyoshi：ならあとは俺達が勝つだけだな・・・・
In that case, all that’s left is for us to win....

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......

Naoyoshi：（・・・・勝つぞ　俺は・・・・）
(....I will win....)
Naoyoshi：（たとえ兄弟を殺すことになっても・・・・）
(Even if I have to slay one of my brothers.....)

Ranmaru：人の心配をしている余裕はないぞ　黒鉄我間
You don’t have any leeway to be worrying about others, Kurogane gama
Gama：！
!

Ranmaru：お前らの相手は強い
Your opponents are strong
Ranmaru：一人減ったこの状態で果たして勝てるかどうか・・・・
I’m not sure if you all will actually be able to win being down a man....

Ranmaru：・・それに相手は多分　我間を狙ってくる――――
..Plus, they’ll most likely target Gama------

Page 19
Shingo：まったく何でぇこいつらは十人で来てこの程度かよ・・・・
I swear, ten of them show up and this all they’re capable of....?
Shingo：魂隠も弱くなったもんだぜ・・・・同じ五竜とか呼ばれんの恥ずかしいわ
The Tamagakushi have gotten weak....it’s embarrassing that we’re both called one of the Five Dragons

？：うるさいぞ　心悟少し黙れ
You’re getting on my nerves, Shingo. Shut up for a while
Shingo：あ？何だと？
Yeah? Care to repeat that?

？：・・それより乱丸のヤツ本当に大亀流を連れてこれるかな
..More importantly, I wonder if that Ranmaru guy will really be able to bring the Ogame School here
？：やっぱり俺達もどっかの流派攻めたほうがいいんじゃない？
Maybe it would be better if we attacked another school after all?

Leader：まぁもう少し待とう
Hm, let’s wait a little while longer
Leader：何でも今大亀流には
Since it seems
Leader：あの黒鉄陣介の息子がいるらしいからな・・
That the son of Kurogane Jinsuke is in the Ogame School..

Page 20 + Page 21
Leader：この戦いは俺達　明神流にとって――――
For us, the Myoujin School, this battle------
Leader：“千人斬り”を倒す前哨戦になる！！
Will serve as a precursor to defeating the Thousand-Man Slayer!!

Naokatsu：戦う準備は出来ているようですね
It seems that you’re all ready for battle
Shingo：フン　もちろんスよ直勝様
Hmph, of course we are, Naokatsu-sama

Naokatsu：そうですか　では　よろしくお願いしますよ
I see, then I leave this in your hands
Naokatsu：私はこの戦い必ず勝ちたいのですから
Because I want to be sure to win this battle
