Lesson 536: Two Generals
SORACHI HIDEAKI

008
Sasaki: Well...
(On phone- We found us a Gorilla in the foresst~ To Nobutatsu)
Sasaki: She hasn't responded.
Is this per the usual where she reads my messages and doesn't respond?
Or did something happen on Nobume-san's end...?
In any case Kondo-san, there you have it.
We, the Mimwarigumi, have already preyed upon,
The unit your men sent as decoys.
I regret to inform you that I've already stationed my men around the entire island.
So front or back, there is no path for you to escape.

009
Sasaki: I really would advise for you to stop sneaking around...
Because if you don't hurry up and save your friends...
They....and everyone...
Will end up dying for your sake.
We don't wish for that to happen.
They came here to save you, and the means of saving them is rather simple.
All you have to do..
Is die.
Then everything will be kosher.
Why not cooperate with us to end this ridiculous farce?
Now then...
Come out from there.

010
Kondo: Dang...
Katsura: Kondo.
I'll draw their attention for a bit.
In that time you should run.
You should be able to escape if you're alone.
After all I came to save you..
It just wouldn't do for both us to die because I was a hindrance.
Kondo: Is that so?
(Sfx- Zaah ssfft)
Kondo: Then we're square.
The way I see it, you took a bullet because a certain someone else was a hinderance.
So it only makes sense that you get a chance to hold me back.

011
Katsura: Kondo...
Kondo: I was about to be executed...
And I figured if it was for my friends I could take one for the team.
But because you came and helped me live through that..
I ended up desiring something even more outrageous..
To see them...
Once again.
And after that...
I made another pal who I'd like to share a drink with.
Katsura, I ain't ready to die yet.
And I'm not ready to let you die either.
So let me ask this of you once more..

012
Kondo: Lend me your strength Katsura.
So that I can survive and meet them again.
As long as you don't die...
And as long as I don't die...
(Sfx- Dohh doohh bloorsh bloorsh)
Kondo: Ni ether of us will die.

013
Both: So hang in there.

014
{He hasn't changed...}
{That man..}
{Hasn't changed one bit.}
Matsudaira: So? Any thoughts on...
Having those stray mutts tame other stray dogs....the patriots?
(Sign- Roushigumi headquarters.)
Matsudaira: The Bakfu really pinned their hopes on this little scheme thought up by the genius of the illustrious Sasaki family, Sasaki Isaburo but...

015
Matsudaira: Is there anyone we can use?
Sasaki: Seems that this plan is no more than mere sophistry on a page.
I handed down an order to give structure to the Roushigumi, but days have passed with no result.
Who will be the leader? Who will take the reigns at the top?
They've been all in a hurry to grab some glory for themselves that they're beginning to turn on one another.
This is even resulting in some bloodshed.
Calling this lot the special peace-keeping unit that will strive for Edo's peace isn't even a funny joke.
(Sfx- Kuhhh dsssh)
Sasaki: They can't even maintain order amongst themselves, put aside the Patriots.
Matsudaira: Then we just need to collar these mutts.
I'd think that the “Beast of three heavens” would make short work outta thugs like these.
Sasaki: Surely you jest Lord Matsudaira.
We of the Sasaki clan already have Golden retrievers with pedigrees. We'd much rather not associate with mongrels such as these.
Matsudaira: Figures.

016
Matsudaira: Well, no need to fret over it.
Even when they've gotta choose a top dog...
Mongrels have their...
Ways to decide on things don't they?
Thug: Thaaats 7 groups..
Someone else wanna try their luck on me, huh?
I'm done with talkin' shit out.
The baddest and strongest dude here gets to be leader, and the weakasses follow what he says. Makes sense, no?
If someone's got a complaint I Mountain-Zaki will take ya on.
(TN- The kanji for “Zaki” here is “Killer demon”.)
Killah: Welp, if you guys don't got nothin' to say then I'll be lea..
Kondo: Yo.
(Sfx- Zaah sfft)
Kondo: You're pretty decent.

017
Killah: Huuh? You say somethin' to me asshead?
(Sfx- Zuhh shfft)
Kondo: Most guys couldn't get beat up like that
Without at least taking one swing back.
You hung in there well...
General!
Hey, someone give this guy some treatment.
He might have what it takes to lead us as general sometime!
Killah: Hold the fuck up!!
You' tryin to start somethin with me, bitch?
You guys are just hicks who stand off in the corner practicing your swings!
I dunno what group you're a part of, but if you're tryin' to snatch my position of genral then I'll take you and your disciples on whenever you want!
Come and get some!
Kondo: Nah, I'm good.
If we've got time to be picking fights with one another, then why not use it to practice our swings?

018
Killah: SWORD OUT FOOOL!
Let's just see if swingin' that sword around did ya any good!
Kondo: No means no, Machine Eiyuu den Wataru.
Killah: Mountain-Zaki!!
(TN- Apparently this is a robot anime from the 80's.)
Kondo: I'm sorta the leader of these hicks, and we've got our own pride to think of.
See, a general isn't all about being strong enough to make others bow before him..
If he can protect one of his comrades, that's good enough.
I'd even go as far as saying a guy who's never actually fought anyone is better suited to lead than someone who beats up his buddies, Tokoroten Wataru.
(TN- Tokoroten is a jelly like dish made from seaweed. The way the kanji is written here could translate out as “Give me some Tokoroten”. Rather than a name.)
Killah: It's Mountain-Zaki!!
Kondo: All right, back to practice!!
Killah: Izzat so General?
If that's it then...
(Sfx- Zazaaah sffft)
Killah: We'll beat the crap out of you...
While you swing away!!
Kondo: Stop it.
(Sfx- Kuwaaaah roaaar)

019
(Sfx- Doooooon Thoooom)
Kondo: The swing of us hicks....
(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)
Kondo: Can kill too.
(Sfx- Kotsuhhn tok)
Kondo: Now if it's practice you want, I can accommodate you.
Wanna give it a swing, Mountain-Zaki?
(Sfx- Picha picha dribbble)
Yamazaki: N—no--actually it's not Moutain-zaki...
But Yamazaki Sagaru. Pleasure to meet you.
(Side text- After this incident, he'd really learn to turn over a new leaf..)
(TN- The “Mountain” in his name comes from the “Yama” in “Yamazaki”.)
