Text at side：四神槍“鬼断”
“Onidachi*” one of the Four Divine Spears
MARGIN NOTE: *Demon Splitter.
Narration：重量20kg　全長十尺（約3km）　穂先3尺3寸（約1m）の規格外の大身槍
A long-bladed lance with a weight of 20kg, an overall length of 10 shaku (About 3m) and a blade of length 3 shaku 3 sun (About 1m), all non-standard
Narration：まさに鬼の命を断つために生まれたかの如き異形の槍であった
Its unusual shape makes it appear as though it was created to literally split demons in twain

Box：海原大仕合二回戦は藩主候補の首を懸けた戦いに。三回戦に進める流派は残り二つ！無宝流・伊藤乱丸の案内で我間は明神流・御堂心吾と対戦することに！
The Grand Tournament of Unabara progresses to the 2nd round where the heads of the daimyo candidates are on the line. Only two more schools can progress to the 3rd round! Itou Ranmaru, of the Muhou School, leads Gama to a confrontation with Midou Shingo of the Myoujin School!

Zen：なっ
Wha

Zen：なんでぇ　あのドデカイ槍は！！
What the hell is with that huge spear!?
Zen side of bubble：オレの定長よりナゲェ！！
It’s longer than my Sadanaga!!

Page 04
Banri：フフフ・・・・奴等　相当驚いているようだな
Heheheh....they seem rather taken aback, don’t they?
Ichiou：フ・・・・
Heh....

Ichiou：まぁ　ムリもあるまい
Well, you can’t blame them
Ichiou：あれほどの槍にはなかなかお目にかかれんからな
One doesn’t encounter a spear of that size very often

Ichiou：あの“鬼断”は並の槍にくらべ全身も穂先も桁違いの長さ・・
Both Onidachi’s overall length and the length of its blade are far greater than those of a normal spear..
Ichiou：その上　重量にいたっては約10倍というデタラメさだ――――
On top of that, there’s also the fact that it’s almost an absurd ten times heavier------

Ichiou：（あの槍の生み出す威力――――）
(A normal spear can’t even compare------)
Ichiou：（そして　あの槍が敵に与える精神的圧力も並の槍の比ではない！）
(To the force that it produces and the mental pressure it puts on its opponents!)

Page 05
Ranmaru：・・・・フム間合いで大きく劣る刀で　あの槍に勝つには・・・・
....Hmm, given its vastly inferior range, winning with a sword....
Ranmaru：まず槍の攻撃をかいくぐり刀の間合いに敵を入れることだ
Would first require evading the spear’s attack and putting your enemy within range

Ranmaru：（・・・・そう）
(....Yes)
Ranmaru：（相当の重量があるであろうあの大身槍――――）
(That long-bladed spear is probably quite heavy------)

Ranmaru：（裏をかえせばいかに達人であろうと速度は必ず落ちるはずだ）
(Looking at it from another angle, no matter how good you are you’re definitely going to be slow)

Zen：あのモジャモジャが突きを放ったその引き際
The instant that scruffy bastard lets loose his thrust
Zen：そこが勝負だな・・・・
That’s when this fight will be decided....

Naoyoshi：（だが　あの槍）
(But, that spear)
Naoyoshi：（決まれば即死は間違いない）
(If it hits him, it’ll be instant death for sure)

Naoyoshi：（勝機があるとすれば我間の“速さ”だけか・・・・・・）
(So the only chance for victory, assuming there is one, is Gama’s speed......)

Page 06
Shingo：オイ　我間よぅ　一つ聞きてぇんだが・・・・
Hey Gama, I wanna ask you something....
Shingo：オメェ　千人斬りの親父と仲悪ぃのか？実の親父なんだろ？
Do you and your old man not get along? He is your real dad, right?

Gama：は？何だそれ？
Huh? What the hell?
Gama：どーだっていいだろ
What’s that got to do with anything?

Shingo：四神槍（オレたち）と大亀流（オメーら）勝った方にだけ会うってんだろ？
He said he’d meet with either you or us, whoever wins the match, right?
Shingo：どうゆう関係なのかちと気になってな
That’s got me a little curious about what kind of relationship you guys have

Gama：・・・・フンオメェに関係ねーだろ
....Meh, it’s none of your business

Shingo：クク・・・・
Heheh....
Shingo：まぁいいや
Whatever
Shingo：何にせよ俺はオメェを殺す
At any rate, I’m gonna kill you

Shingo：俺はこの十二年・・・・師匠が手に入られなかった“最強”を手に入れるために・・
For twelve years now....I have lived only to obtain the “ultimate power” that my master could not..
Shingo：師匠が負けた“千人斬り”をぶっ倒すために生きていた――――――
And to crush the Thousand-Man Slayer that defeated him--------

Page 07
Gama：・・・・・・！
......!

Gama：・・・・そうか
....So that’s it

Gama：アンタらも奴を恨んでるってわけか・・・・
You guys have a grudge against him, too....

Shingo：いくぜ　我間
Let’s do this, Gama

Gama：・・・・でもさ
....But you know
Gama：奴を恨んでるのは　アンタらだけじゃない・・
You guys aren’t the only ones who’ve got a bone to pick with him..

Gama：（親父とやれるのはどっちか一人ってことか・・・・）
(So only one of us will be able to fight with dad....)

Gama：悪ぃけど
Sorry
Gama：親父を倒すのは俺だ・・・・
But I’m going to be the one to defeat my dad....

Page 08
Shingo：ほざけ
Shaddup

Zen：ぼけっとすんな我間ァ！！
Don’t just stand there, Gama!!
Zen：来てんぞ
Here he comes

Page 09
Shingo：（見ろ！これが我が槍“鬼断”だ！！）
(Behold! This is my spear, Onidachi!!)

Page 10 + Page 11
Naoyoshi：（ゆ・・床を割った！？何て威力！！！）
(H-He smashed the floor!? What incredible force!!!)

Zen：（――――だが）
(------But)

Zen：（かわしてる――――――！！）
(Gama dodged it--------!!)

Page 12
Ranmaru：（しかも　全体重を乗せた突きだ）
(What’s more is he put all of his weight into that thrust)
Ranmaru：（すぐには立て直せない）
(He won’t be able to recover his stance right away)

Ranmaru：（ここが勝負――――――！！）
(That’s the fight--------!!)

Page 13
Naoyoshi：（バ・・バカな！！）
(N-No way!!)

Naoyoshi：（そんな体勢から）
(A leg sweep!?)
Naoyoshi：（足払いだと！？）
(From that position!?)

Naoyoshi：（しかも速い――――）
(And it’s fast-----)
Naoyoshi：（食えば骨までいかれるぞ！！）
(If that hits it’ll go straight through to the bone!!)

Shingo：！！
!!

Zen：跳んだ！！
He jumped!!

Ranmaru：（さらに我間が上を行ったか）
(So Gama went even higher up?)
Ranmaru：（槍は床へ踏み落としたもはや防御は間に合いはしない）
(His spear has been pushed down into the floor. He won’t be able to defend in time)

Gama：うむ　左足良好
Oh yeah, my left leg is just fine
Gama：（今度こそ――――）
(This time for sure------)

Page 16
Gama：（キマる――――――！！）
(I’ve got you--------!!)

Page 17
Gama and Ran：（！？）
(!?)

Shingo：フ・・・・やるな
Heh....you’re good

Gama：（な！？）
(Wha!?)

Page 18
Gama：（止められた！？）
(My attack was blocked!?)
Gama：（守備が間に合ったのか！？）
(He got his guard up in time!?)

Shingo：フン！
Umph!

Gama：（ウソだろ！？）
(You gotta be kidding!)

Gama：！！
!!

Page 19
Gama：（・・・・・・・・）
(........)
Gama：（まさか　あの状態から俺が斬りつけるより速く槍を手元にまで戻したっていうのか！？）
(Are you telling me that from that position he was able to get his spear back into his hands faster than I could slash him!?)

Gama：（コイツ強い――――）
(This guy is strong-------)

Ichiou：・・・・フム・・
....Hmm..

Sasuke：あの子
That boy
Sasuke：やるね・・
Is quite good..

Shingo：ククク・・・・あんな一瞬であそこまで間合いを詰めやがるとはな・・・・
Heheheh....to think that you’d be able to close that much distance in such a small amount of time....
Shingo：思った以上にすばしっこい
You’re more nimble than I thought

Shingo：（しかも　足払いを狙った槍をかわすどころか）
(And not only did he dodge my leg sweep)
Shingo：（踏み台に利用しやがった・・・・）
(He used my spear as a damn platform....)

Shingo：（並の集中力や胆力で出来る芸当じゃねぇ）
(A stunt like that isn’t possible with ordinary focus and nerve)

Page 20
Shingo：（このガキ――――この若さで）
(This kid------at this young age)
Shingo：（相当な数修羅場くぐり抜けてきてやがるぞ）
(Has managed to find his way off of more than just a few battlefields)
Gama：フ―――ンなるほどね
Hmmmm, now I get it

Shingo：・・・・クク　単に千人斬りの子ってだけじゃねーな
....Heheh, you’re more than just the son of the Thousand-Man Slayer
Shingo：テメェは間違いねーや・・
No doubt about that..

Gama：フン・・
Heh..
Gama：アンタも普通じゃないね・・
You’re not just run-of-the-mill, either..

Both：（コイツはまぎれもなく本物だ！！）
(He’s without a doubt the real deal!!)
