Target 246: Yamamoto's Vongola Box
[Insert text: Yamamoto opens his Vongola Box!! This rematch with Genkishi is on!!]

2
Genkishi: ...So that sword-wielding dog is your Vongola Box?
Yamamoto: Yeah, pretty much. // He's an Akita Inu. Name of Jirou. // He's looking after my three short-blades for me. / [aside]hahaha[/aside]
Kyouko: Ahhh! What a cute dog~!
Haru: Just look at the two of them together!
Squalo: (That stupid brat...... // Quit screwing around and get to the point!!)
Yamamoto: But the truth is, I'm just like you... // I actually use four swords.
Reborn: A four-sword style...
Yamamoto: So would you mind if I just go get my fourth one?

3
Yamamoto: I kinda dropped it in the confusion back there.
Genkishi: It would certainly appear that you have grown somewhat... // But if you think you've won this fight because you survived a single attack... // ...then think again.
Reborn: (He's firing invisible illusionary-sea-slug missiles!)

4
[no text just battle]

5
[no text just attack]

6
Genkishi: !! // (This man...!!)

7
Basil: !! // Genkishi vanished!!
Reborn: Looks like not only has Yamamoto gained proficiency in airborne combat... // ...he's also gained the ability to use his Ring's flames to sense exactly where the illusionary sea-slugs are.
Bianchi: Still, he can't possibly attack an opponent he can't see!!

8
Yamamoto: There.
Genkishi: !! // (Impossible!!!)

9
Fuuta: Incredible!!
Hibari: !
Genkishi: ......This cannot be! // It should not be possible to penetrate my illusions when I am fully synchronised with the illusionary sea-slugs!
Yamamoto: Heheh... looks like my strategy worked. // You were so distracted by Jirou... / ...that you didn't think to try looking up.
Genkishi: (Up?!)

10
Genkishi: The Rondine Pioggia!!
[TN: "Rain Swallow"]
Yamamoto: He's been covering that giant tree your illusionary sea-slugs created with Rain-element flames. // And of course, the speciality of the Rain element is "calm". // Thanks to the calming effects of the Rain element, your sea-slugs' movements have been getting duller and slower... // ...but since your own speed hasn't changed, you're failing to synchronise with them properly.
Reborn: So you spot where the illusions' movements are slightly off... // ...and that's where Genkishi is.
Yamamoto: Oh, and by the way...

11
Yamamoto: This little guy's Kojirou.
Kyouko: Jirou and Kojirou! That's so cute~!!
Haru: He certainly has an interesting sense for naming...
Yamamoto: Now, then... // Just to warn you, you haven't seen anything yet. // This is where we get serious.
Genkishi: !! // (...What on Earth... is going on with this man......?! // This is not the Yamamoto I fought before!!)

12
Dino: The Box weapons themselves are certainly impressive, but Yamamoto's growth that's allowing him to use them to this level is outrageous.
Reborn: Yeah. There's a vigour about him that I've never seen before, and it's driving his swordplay to a completely different level of strength. / What on Earth brought this on...?
Squalo: Devotion to the blade. // That piece of trash has always had what it takes to become a master swordman... // ...but there was just one thing holding him back. // He was never fully embracing the sword.
Flashback!Yamamoto: Never fully embracing the sword?
Flashback!Squalo: The you I knew in this era was the same way. // It always pissed me off... // ...but I accepted it as part of who you were.
Flashback!Yamamoto: Wh... What are you talking about?
Flashback!Squalo: If you really want to become strong, there's just one thing you have to do!!

13
Flashback!Squalo: Baseball or the blade. // You have to choose one.
Flashback!Yamamoto: ......... // ...What are you, my careers counsellor......?
Flashback!Squalo: I know you have the talent to handle both at once!! // But the blade isn't something you "handle"... it's something you stake everything on!!
Flashback!Yamamoto: ...... // Well then, the answer's obvious. // I'll devote myself to the blade.

14
Flashback!Yamamoto: You know, when I fought Genkishi... // I felt confident that I could win... / That I'd take him down, and we'd all be going back home to the past... // But the difference in power was just crazy... and he slaughtered me. // As my consciousness faded away... I found myself overcome with regret... // That I hadn't taken the blade seriously enough... that I'd brought shame upon the name of my old man's Shigure Souenryuu... / ......And most of all... // That I hadn't done the best I possibly could for the sake of my pals... // I don't ever want to feel that way again. // But you know what, it's strange... / Now that I've decided to focus on the blade alone, suddenly it's like a huge weight's fallen off my shoulders...
Flashback!Squalo: So you were letting that get to you, huh...

15
Flashback!Yamamoto: Still, it is kind of sad... // Forgetting all about baseball, even if it is just for a while...
Flashback!Squalo: ?! // Just for a while?!
Flashback!Yamamoto: Yeah. Until I get back to the past.
Flashback!Squalo: Ooo~~iii!! / That ain't what I'm talkin' about, dammit!!
Squalo: I don't know about his motivations and screwed-up time restrictions... // But that decision to devote himself utterly to the blade has made him a true swordsman.
Reborn: Being faced with two paths and choosing the sword... // That's just like the first-generation Rain Guardian.
Basil: ! // You mean from the original Vongola Family?
Reborn: Yeah. It was said that there were none who could match his skills with the blade, and nobody doubted his talent... // ...but he himself loved music above all else, and didn't even possess a single sword of his own. // But when he heard that his friend from overseas, the Vongola Primo, was in trouble... // ...without any hesitation, he sold his precious instruments that he valued more than his life, used the money to pay for weapons and travel fees, and went straight to his friend's aid. // He was ready to throw away everything for the sake of his friend. // And the weapons he had made in exchange for his instruments... were three short swords and a single long katana.

16-17
Yamamoto: Kojirou! // Cambio Forma!
Genkishi: !
Basil: The Shigure Kintoki and the swallow fused together!!
Reborn: There's the long katana. I suspected as much... Yamamoto's Vongola Box is... // That legendary combination said to wash everything clean like a blessed passing shower... // ...the Irregular Quadruple Blade, Asari Ugetsu!!!
[TN: Not sure what's up with "Asari", but the kanji mean "morning" and "benefit" respectively. "Ugetsu" is a term for the moon obscured by rain.]
