Creepy guy: Are you going to bully me?

Yamato: …. / Huh?

p5:
Creepy guy: You are their friend, aren’t you? / You’re their boss, right? / That makes you a thug too! / The kind of guy they used to call the head of a gang!

Yamato: …I’m not really their boss. / <aside: And besides, I’m not a thug. >

Creepy guy: Hm? / Is that so?

Creepy guy: My goodness! / I’ve made such a big mistake! / But that’s great!

Shouta: I’m very sorry! / The name’s Oruha Shouta. / Nice to meet you!
SFX: step step

SFX: Kch

Fukakyon: Yamato-san, look out!
SFX: STEP

SFX: Slash

Yamato: Fukakyon!
SFX: Th-thump

Fukakyon: Please, be careful… / This guy—he’s like a stage magician who hides things up his sleeves, only he hides stupidly large swords!

p7:
Shouta: You’re all lying in the street like garbage! / You guys are literally garbage!
SFX: Ha ha ha ha ha

Gang: Ugh… / Yamato-san…

p9:
[sign]: Karaoke Gian
SFX: Wahhhhh (bad singing voice)

Musashi: Yamato’s probably drawing his manga right about now.

Musashi: He should have just taken a break and come here with us!
Hyuuga: And if he did, he’d never make the deadline!
Shinano: Heh. Don’t you get it?

Shinano: Remember when he was eight, and he skipped out on watching the final episode of that anime he loved / so that he could fight some middle school kids that were picking on his friends?

p10:
Shinano: Right now, maybe he’s just making us think he’s drawing a manga, while he’s really out there fighting for someone else.

Shouta: Shah!

Shouta: Shah! / Shah!

Yamato: He might have a type of sword I’ve never seen before, but he doesn’t even know how to fight.

p11:
Yamato: You’ve left yourself wide open!

p12:
Yamato: The hell?!

Yamato: The blades…!

SFX: Kch

SFX: Kch
Shouta: Not bad, not bad at all. / You’ve done well against my heavenly Power!

p13:
Yamato: What is with this guy…!! / Is he even human…?!

Yamato: Is my Power the same sort of thing as his…?

Shouta: Aren’t you curious how I can form a blade bigger than my body? / You wanna know? / Hey, you wanna know?

p14:
Shouta: Within my body are layered countless blades. / I can combine them, and thus form a sword longer than my body itself!

Shouta: If I were to give it a name, it would be The Blade of the Unchained!
(TL/N: Japanese is Blade (Bureido), written with kanji meaning “Not a slave”)
Aside: Cool, right?!
SFX: Kch

Yamato: I get it… / So that’s how you cut my fist when I punched you…

Yamato: But then / I don’t even know where to start…

Shouta: Oh! / Maybe what you really wanted to know was how I got this power!

p15:
Shouta: It was only yesterday, / when I was being picked on by a Yankee like you. / I was trying to protect myself when suddenly blades sprung out from every inch of my body. / By the way, the Yankee is now unconscious and seriously hurt.

SFX: Kch.
Shouta: Do you know what I am now? / Do you fucking know what I am now? / With this power, I’m the guy who wants nothing more than to track down all those who tore my spirit to shreds / and tear their bodies and hearts to shreds!

Yamato: I’m still faster than him. If I can just find a blind spot…

Shouta: Hm? / I bet you’re thinking, “I gotta find a blind spot”! / That means you’re thinking of bullying me, right?
SFX: Kch

p16:
SFX: Bam

Shouta: Look at this! This is every single blade in my body! / Now there’s no way you can attack me!

p17:
Yamato: You’ve brought out every blade?

Shouta: Huh?

Yamato: Sh!
SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Snap

SFX: Clunk
