Sidetext：崩れ落ちゆく
Falling to pieces

Askin：お・・・・・・
Ooo……
Askin：おおお~~~~~~~・・・・・・
Ooo Ooo Oooooo……

Sidetext：王の治めしかつての都城――――
The king’s former seat of power-------

Page 02
Askin：ついにジェラルドさんも聖文字を使ったかァ・・・・・・
So Gerard-san finally used his Schrift*, huh……
*TN: German for “Script”. Kanji mean “Sacred Letter”

Askin：まァ
Well
Askin：リジェさんまでやられたんじゃそりゃそうなるよな
I guess that makes sense now that Lille-san’s been taken out

Askin：・・・・・・とは言え
……Although

Askin：あの人はリジェさんがやられた事なんか
I highly doubt
Askin：気付いてもいねえだろうけどね・・・・・・
Gerard-san’s aware of that……

Askin：少し
I s’pose
Askin：親衛隊の事を話してやろうか
I’ll tell you a little about the Schutzstaffel*
*TN: Protection Squad. Japanese means “Elite Guards”

Page 03
Askin：親衛隊のリーダーはリジェさんだ
The leader of the Schutzstaffel is Lille-san
Askin：リジェさんは陛下が初めて聖文字を与えた滅却師
He’s the first Quincy given a Schrift by His Majesty*
*TN: This is in direct contradiction to chapter 646 where Lille claims he is the last Quincy that Yhwach gave a letter to. Not sure if retcon, mistake, or simply that Askin doesn’t know the whole truth…
Askin：その立場は揺るぎない
So there’s no questioning his place

Askin：ただ
But

Askin：親衛隊の残りの２人
The other two members
Askin：ペルニダさんとジェラルドさんは
Pernida-san and Gerard-san
Askin：陛下に与えられる前に既に力を持っていた
Are Quincy whose powers didn’t come from His Majesty
Askin：陛下に力を与えられていない滅却師なんだ
They already had them before he gave them anything

Askin：全星十字騎士団の中であの２人だけは
Out of all the Stern Ritter
Askin：既に持っていた力になぞらえて陛下が聖文字をお決めになったに過ぎない
Only those two already had powers comparable to a Quincy’s. All His Majesty did was give them a letter

Askin：だから２人の正体については妙なウワサが絶えなくて
So there was never a shortage of strange rumors about who or what they really were
Askin：曰く
Stuff like
Askin：ペルニダさんの正体は“霊王の左腕”
Pernida-san is really “The Left Arm of the Spirit King”

Page 04
Askin：ジェラルドさんは“霊王の心臓”だ
And Gerard-san is really “The Heart of the Spirit King”

Askin：滅却師なのになんで霊王云々なんてウワサが出るのか知らねェが
I dunno why all the Spirit King rumors since they’re supposed to be Quincy
Askin：あんなとんでもねェ力見せられちゃ得体の知らねェモンに例えなくなるのも仕方無え
But when you see really crazy-ass powers like theirs, you just can’t help but explain them as something really mysterious

Askin：そう思うだろ？
Don’t you think so?
Askin：一護
Ichigo

Askin：―――――――って
---------Hm?

Page 05
Askin：もう聞こえちゃいねェか
Can’t hear me anymore?

Sidetext：一護でさえ―――――！！
Even Ichigo-------!!

Inoue：黒崎くん！
Kurosaki-kun!

Ichigo：・・・・・・く・・・・・・
……St……
Ichigo：来るな・・・・・・
Stay back……

Chad：「巨人の右腕」！
Brazo Derecha de la Gigante!*

Inoue：うう・・・・・・っ
Ulk……!
Chad：何だ・・・
What…
Chad：これは・・・！？
is this…!?
Chad：立って・・・・・・
I can’t……

Askin：立っていられない
Can’t stay on your feet
Askin：だろ？
Right?

Askin：“毒入りプール”
“Gift Bad”*
*TN: German for “Poison Pool”. Japanese also means poison pool. Interestingly, “Gift” in German means poison.

Askin：このプールの中に踏み込むと“致死”とまではいかないが
Stepping inside this pool isn’t “fatal”
Askin：俺の指定したものの耐性を下げる事ができる
But it can lower your tolerance for a substance of my choosing

Page 09
Askin：今回指定したものは“霊子”
And this time, that something is “spirit particles”

Askin：つまりあんたらは今
To put it another way
Askin：この真世界城の濃すぎる霊子にアテられて
Wahrwelt here is oversaturated with spirit particles
Askin：“霊子中毒”になっちまってるのさ
And you guys are OD’ing them

Chad：霊子中毒・・・・・・
OD’ing……
Chad：だと・・・・・・？
On spirit particles……?

Askin：そ
Yep
Askin：俺の能力“致死量”っていってさ
My ability is “lethal dosages”
Askin：本当なら指定したものの致死量を操って敵を死なせるんだけど
And in its true form, it kills my enemies by manipulating the lethal dosage of a certain substance

Askin：その為には指定したものを大量に体内に取り込まなきゃいけないんだよね
But to do that, I gotta take a huge amount of the substance into my body
Askin：血の場合は血をたくさん飲んだりとかさ
If I want to control blood, I have to drink a bunch of blood, for instance

Askin：でも今カフェオレ飲みすぎてハラいっぱいなんだ
But I just drank too much Café Au Lait and now I’m full
Askin：だから俺のハラが減るまで
So you’re just gonna have to wait right there
Askin：そのまま待っててほしいんだよ
Until my stomach empties out

Yoruichi：ほう
Huh

Page 10
Yoruichi：これはまた異な事を言う奴じゃ
Such a strange thing to say
Yoruichi：相手が動けんならそのまま首でも絞めれば良かろう
If your enemy can’t move, then you oughta just choke the life out of them right there

Askin：それマジで言ってんの？
Did you really just say that?
Askin：昔バンビにも同じこ言われたけど
Bambi said the same thing a while back
Askin：当時もヒイたし今聞いても改めてヒイてるわ
I cringed when I heard it then, and I’m cringin’ again now

Askin：全くデリカシーが無いったら・・・・・・
You two don’t have any sense of subtlety……

Askin：無えよッ！
At all!

Page 11
Yoruichi：何じゃ
Oh yeah?
Yoruichi：“デリカシー”とは
So this “sense of subtlety”
Yoruichi：相手を嘗めてかかる事か？
Means taking your opponent lightly?

Askin：違うね
Not at all
Askin：自分のスタイルで敵を倒す事さ
It means taking your enemy out your way

Askin：あくまで致死量を操作するのが俺のスタイル
And controlling the lethal dosage is my style, through and through
Askin：首を絞めるなんてのは
Choking the life outta someone

Askin：あんたやバンビみたいな女に
Is more suitable
Askin：似合いのスタイルさ
For ladies like you or Bambi

Yoruichi：―――――――――成程
-----------I see

Page 12
Yoruichi：そのバンビと言うのが誰だかは知らんが
I don’t know who this “Bambi” is
Yoruichi：つまりは“美女のやり方”じゃと言いたい訳じゃな
But I assume you’re saying that’s how beautiful women do things

Page 13
Askin：あんたもバンビも確かに美人だが・・・・・・
You and Bambi are definitely knockouts, no doubt……
Askin：女の価値は顔じゃねェよ・・・・・・
But it isn’t a woman’s face that determines her worth……

Askin：オシャレかどうかだ！！！
It’s whether or not she’s got style!!!

Yoruichi：すまんの
Sorry
Yoruichi：おぬしは面白そうな男じゃが
You seem like a funny guy
Yoruichi：生憎わし等は先を急ぐ
But we need to hurry on ahead

Yoruichi：通して貰うぞ
So you’re gonna have to let us go
