RYOKO 21

Ah, so the titles tangenially do correspond with what happens in the chapters. It's just not quite as clear (or unclear in the case of Bleach --another series with English titles) on first glance.



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

(Side text -The VS Abalone arc’s huge revelations and climax!! Now, let’s have a shell party!!)
RYOKO
Vol 21: DEAD MAN RUNNING
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Sfx- Dooooooohh *fwoooooom*)
Ryoko: Let’s go!
Shell man: Saaaaaaaaaaaaan
(Sfx- Ooooooooooooh *roaaaaaaaaaar*)
(Side text- Now the Abalone is up for order! First up take a shell down!!)

003
Zen: Ryoko, you sure you’re okay this time?
Ryoko: Yeah, I’m fine..
After all..
Everyone wants to eat abalone.
So I’m absolutely going to hunt it down.
(Sfx- Gooohhh *fwhooom*)

004
Zen: Oh? So you just weren’t that into it before then?
Ryoko: T—That doesn’t matter! I’m going to hunt it now!
(Sfx- zuzuuuh *ssffft*)
Zen: Wha?! Is that debris?!

005
(Sfx- Buhububuhhh *sfffsfsfsfssfs*)
Zen: Geez guy! Cut us some slack here!!
(Sfx- Parapara *clatter clatter*)
Ryoko: I’ll take care of that annoyance.
(Sfx- Tobihhhh *fwooom*)
Zen: Ah! Hey!

{First I’ll crush its defense!}
(Sfx- Zudooooh *thooom*)
Shell man: SAAAAAAAAAAN
Zen: Awesome! Though I got left behind!

009
Zen: Awwright, then I’ll head on up there right away!
Hey! Why not fight with us one more time!
Rere: Count me out.
No matter how much you challenge the abalone it’s useless. …but you all can do whatever you want.
Zen: Gotcha! Then we’re leaving you to look after the house and that grave!
This place is already super important to us.
Make sure you protect the dinner table, ‘kay?
(Sfx- Chariiiiin *dingle*)
{Quit screwing around…}

010
{Just what the hell is your goal?}
{Is it really just to have something to eat?}
{Are you seriously going to protect the house of a prisoner you just met today by charging into a fight with a monster?}
{If so you’re huge dumbasses!}
{In these times where the world has ended and even survival is difficult…}
{How come you haven’t rotted away yet? How come your eyes…}
{Are still fixed straight forward?}

011
Zen: Oriyaaaaaaaaah!!!
(Sfx- Gakiyo *clak*)
Zen: OW!
Why you…!
Awwright, somehow I managed to rot it…
(Sfx- Doshooonn *thud*)

012
(Sfx- Gasssuhh *thooook*)
Ryoko: Zen-kun!!
They run so quickly!!
(Sfx-Bagahhh *dtshh*)
(Sfx- Baahh *thok*)
(Sfx- Zuunnmu *doook*)

013
(Sfx- Goooohhh *thoooom*)
Ryoko: Gah….
(Sfx- Dowann *thud*)
{Ahh dammit…}
{I can’t stop…}
(Sfx- Doku doku doku *thud thud thud*)
{I can’t stop, I can’t stop…}
{I can’t stop…!!}

014
Nana: This time you can make it for sure…
Oneechan.
Rere: Yeah…
I already know that.
(Sfx- Gagaaann)
Rere: Back away from those kids.

015

(Sfx- Gyagyaygaygayaya *sssshhhiii*)
Rere: Die.

017
(Sfx- Booonn *thooom*)
Ryoko: Rere-san, but why…
Rere: It’d be a pain in the ass if someone else died on my death anniversary.
(Sfx- mozomozo *sffft*)
(Sfx- Bakuuunn *chewww*)
Ryoko: Wha…the abalone ate it?!
(Sfx- Zururruuu *slllrp*)

018
Rere: That abalone is what you’d call a nursery for the shell race.
So does it intend to take the other shells into it’s body?!
(Sfx- Gapooohh *fwhooom*)
Rere: It’s taking ‘em in one by one and getting bigger!
(Side text- Now it’s on!! Time for the final battle and abalone is on the menu!!)
(Sfx- Oooooooooooooh *fwhooooom*)
