Saike Once Again 71

One more to go. Normally I'm a creature who lives on spoilers, but I actually kind of regret spoiling the next one for myself just a little bit.



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

(Side text- He turns over a bad situation with a single full forced punch!!)
(Sfx- Bakiiiii *craaack*)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Sfx- Zatshhh *Shfffh*)
Eiji: Sa…

002
Eiji: Saike!!!
(Sfx- Dooooon *thooom*)
(Side text- There’s no longer any time to lose!! At long last the fated direct confrontation with Johann!!)
(Side text- The “searching” seventh series will be decided here on the final stage!!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Bottom text- The newest volume #7 is now out in stores everywhere!!)
FUKUCHI TSUBASA
Take 71: Checkmate.
(Sfx- DOOOON)

003
Saike: It looks like
Hah…
Hah…
I’ve made it just in time…
Hah..
(Sfx- Buraaah *wibble*)
Eiji: Saike!!
Hold on!
(Sfx- Gaahh *grab*)
Saike: Sorry I’m late, Hizu-kun…
It took me a while to find Depes….
Ana: Depes?

004
Depes: That would be me.
Ana: Uwaaah!!
(Handwritten- You scared me!)
Ana: Ah! You’re the guy who was at the bridge to the village…!!
Depes: I thank you for that occasion.
Eiji: I get it…
Wasn’t his oracle…!!
Saike: Yeah.

005
Depes: Now, if you could hand the Healing God to me…
(Sfx- Sohh *sfft*)
Saike: Ana.
(Sfx- Bosohh *sfft*)
Saike: Depes…
I’m leaving the healing God to you.
Take him somewhere as far as you can.
(Sfx- Kokuhh *nod*)

006
Depes: Space teleportation!!!
(Sfx- Fuuhh *Sffft*)
Johann: Wa…
(Sfx- Shutsuhhh *Sffft*)
Saike: Johann…

007
Saike: With this, your plans have failed.
(Sfx- Dodododododo *doooom*)
Saike: Even I don’t know where the Healing God has been taken.
The partners you brought have been defeated…
And your objective –the Healing God has disappeared.
Now it’s time for you to tell me…
Johann.

008
Saike: Just what is this “World for the next”…
That you’re always talking about?
Johann: This world is unfair, don’t you think?
Those with oracles…
And those without…
As long as they are split down the middle like this, strife will eventually occur.

009
Johann: Then, it’d be better for “those without” to disappear.
Once that happens then…
Only the ones “with abilities” will remain and the world will become equal.
Mankind itself will become equal!
That is the ideal world that I strive for!!

010
Saike: Why…
Does strife have to be a perquisite…
There’s got to be a way we can all live together…
Yet…
Why can’t you understand that….?
Johann: You’re the one who doesn’t understand.
Human beings are creatures who live to discriminate.

011
(Sfx- Fuhhh *sffft*)
(Sfx- Bihhh *fwiiip*)
(Sfx- Zubaaahh *slissh*)

012
Johann: It really is a shame Saike…
To think that two Oracle holders like ourselves wouldn’t be able to come to an understanding…
(Sfx- Gashiihhh *grab*)
Saike: I’m wearing steel plating under my clothes.

013
Johann: What?!
Saike: I’ve been wondering about it this whole time…
(Sfx- Zatshh *dsh*)
Saike: Just what is the “weakness” of your oracle…
(Sfx- Bahh *fwap*)
(Sfx- Pah *fwip*)
(Sfx- Gashiii *grab*)

014
Saike: I’ve got you now.
(Sfx- Guuh guuhh *grnnnd*)
Saike: My first hint was…
Our fight with Depes.
Depes’s oracle is “space movement”.
The weakness to this is anything that catches him is also teleported should he use his move.
And then there’s you Johann….
Your Oracle has the same weakness.
Before when I hit you…
I had grabbed your shoulders.

015
Saike: Anything that catches you is moved when you move.
That’s why you can’t use instantaneous movement to escape.
Your oracle still has many mysteries to it, but…
At the very least if I can catch you…
There’s no way for you to escape from me!
Johann: Ugh…
Saike: Don’t even bother.
Earlier I asked Anna to packing tape-ify both of my hands.
There’s no way you’re getting away from me.

016
(Sfx- Gunnn *winnnd*)
Saike: And with that…
The checkmate!!!

017

018
Saike: Reflect on your actions…
Johann.
Ana: Whew…
With that, Johann should be fine.
There’s no way to get my packing tape off.
We’ll take him back to Japan and have Yumewo erase his ability and that’ll be the end of that.
(Sfx- Furaaa *wifft*)
Eiji: Saike!!

019
Eiji: Saike doesn’t have much time left!!
We have to hurry to where the elder is…
Saike: We can’t.
If the elder heals one more person, then he’ll become a fetus and die.
I can’t ask him to use that last bit of his ability for me.
Eiji: Who cares about that?
No matter what I have to do, I’ll have the elder heal you!
That’s why we came out here!!
Saike: Hizu-kun…
Ana..
Raj..
Thank you…
It’s because of everyone that we were able to protect the Healing God…

020
Saike: It’s thanks to everyone…
That I was able to be a “hero” until the very end.
Eiji: You dumbass!
Don’t talk like this is all over!
The world still needs a guy like you!!

021
Saike: Thank you…
Hizu-kun..
For being there in my final moments…
(Sfx- Dosaah *thud*)
Ana: Sa…

022
(Sfx- Bara bara bara bara *flutter flutter flutter*)
Ana: Sai…
(Sfx- Baaan *thooom*)
Ana: Johann!!

023
Ana: That’s ridiculous!!
How could he possibly…
{No way he actually ripped his own skin…!!!}
(Sfx- zoohh *shiver*)
Johann: You all win.
I’ll give up on the Healing God.

024
Johann: It pains me to say good bye to you like this…
It really does.
You really worked hard,
Saike.
(Side text- Johann turns things over all at once. However, the price for that is far too much….)
