Saike Once Again 20

Really it's the end of this series's run that has one of the best moments I've seen in a shounen. I'll keep making my way there, and I'll say again that I'm aiming to have this finished this month.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

(Top Text- Volume 1 & 2 are boldly in sale in stores!!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
Saike: It'll be dusk soon Hizu-kun.
(Sfx- Zath sfft)
Eiji: Yup, so lets get moving quickly Saike.
(Side text- The duo chase after the ability user but....?)
Take 20: Slime A
FUKUCHI TSUBASA

002
(Side text- Saike and Hizu have come in search of an evil ability user. What they don't know is that this ability user has already had their power taken by a mystery man...)
Saike: The injuries to people in this city are without the doubt the doing of an ability user.
(Paper- The mysterious injuries of people in A city.)
Saike: We'll find this person and reform their wrongdoing!
Eiji: But how are we gonna find 'em?
Do you intend to search each and every person by the “strength fumes” the expell?
Saike: We wouldn't have enough days in the week to look that way.
For now we should head to the hospital and investigate the injured who were brought in.
(Paper- Sendai hospital center is where the injured were taken...)

003
Eiji: Seems like it's no good...
Not a single one of the injured have know anything about the background of the ability user we're looking for.
Saike: What we've found out so far is that he's a glasses wearing middle school student...
(Sfx- Piipoo piipooo weeooo weooo)
???: Aaaaaaghhh!!
Dammitaaaaall!!
Aaaaaaah!!
Guy: Calm down! We've reached the hospital!!
???: Dammmiiittt!!!
Give 'em baaaaaaack!!
Give 'em back to meeeeeeeeee!!!
Dammitaaaaaalll!!

004
Tatani: That power was mine!!
That power was my only chance to change my life!!
What the hell man?! An “Ability that erases other abilities”!?!
That's unfair dammmmittt!!
I want my power baaaaaaack!!

005
Saike: Isn't that the aforementioned “Middle schooler with glasses” ability user?
Eiji: You say aforementioned, but...
He's got no strength fumes coming out of him.
Tatani: What the hell man?! An “Ability that erases other abilities”!?!
{An ability...}
{That erases abilities.}
Eiji: Let's say that he is that ability user from earlier....
That means that a different person “erased” those abilities then?

006
Saike: I don't know.
We really don't know anything about our own powers.
So there may just be an “ability user who can erase other abilities” out there...
{Throb}
{An ability to...}
{Erase abilities...}
(Handwritten- What's up Saike?)
{That's right....}
{It's a possibility I hadn't even considered up until now.}

007
Saike: An ability that erases abilities...
There's no way it actually exists right?!
{That power was my only chance to change my life!!}
(Sfx- Zokuhh throoob)
(Sfx- Bukuhhh crackle)
(Sfx- Garaaahh craasssh)
Saike: Let's head back Hizu-kun.
He definitely had to be the power user that the papers were talking about.
And if that's the case then this case has been solved.

008
Eiji: No way.
Nothing's been solved at all here man.
If there really is a guy out there with the ability to erase abilities, we can't just ignore him.
What'll happen if he ends up being an “evil” ability user?
Saike: We should do our homework on this guy a little more and come back...
After all we don't know anything about our enemy yet...
Eiji: ? That's why we came out here to search for 'em?
We've already spent two hours out here.
In any case we should start trying to find this ability user, yeah?
Right? First we should try to find the ability---
Saike: I know that plenty well Hizu-kun!!

009
Saike: An ability user with the ability to erase abilities might be nearby you know?!
If we loiter around here then we too will....
Eiji: What's your deal Saike?
This isn't like you.
You're the kinda guy who shoots first and asks questions later, yeah?
If it means saving others, you're the type of idiot who'll keep throwing himself into the lake and drowning for it..at least you were up until now...
Saike: Yeah...
I'm scared...

010
Saike: Up until now I had nothing...I was nothing.
I had no dreams or talent....I was just a piece of trash.
And then God granted me this ability...
This ability gave me a “reason to exist”....so that I may help others!!
I'm scared...
That I'll go back to being someone that no one needs....!!!

011
Eiji: ...I get it.
Let's head back.
{A reason for one to exist....}
{I guess even someone who's reckless needs something like that.}
Saike: Sorry....
{So he always wants to be able to help others huh...}
Eiji: It sure got foggy...
It'd be impossible to find any ability users like this anyway....

012
{Saike?!}
{Where are you?!}
{What the, my voice!!}
{It's as if this fog has erased all sound!!}
{Pain...?!}

013
{What the hell is this..?!}
(Sfx- Dododdododododo thumthumthump)
{A seed...}
{A Sunflower seed...?!}

014
{What the?!?}
???: Silent Mist unlock.

015
???: The hero recited the “Chain weaving” spell.
And Slime A's movements have been sealed!
Dadadadadadaaaaah~

016
Eiji: Saike!!
Where'd you go?!
???: Slime A called for help!
But no one came!
Eiji: Who the hell are you people,
and where is Saike.
???: He's currently with our “boss”.
Eiji: Boss? Who's that?
Where is he?
???: Okaaaay~ That's enough questions.
You'll obediently stay there...
and afterward we'll make sure..

017
???: To properly erase it...
Your “magic” that is.
Eiji: I get it.
You guys are the ones with the “ability to erase other abilities” huh?
???: I said there'd be no more questions.
Eiji: I'll ask you one more time.
Where is Saike?
???: How about you shut your mouth for a while?

018
(Sfx- Paaann Crack)
Eiji: Nah, I'm good.
The power of styrofoamification!
Slime A once again regained movement.
(Sfx- Dooon boom)
(Above panel text- Of course he'd never run!! Hizu's attack will be....in the next issue!!)
