Narration: Youth is an odd thing. On the outside it shines bright red, while on the inside, nothing can be felt.
-Jean-Paul Sartre
Mobuta: Public morals committee activity journal. Secretary Mobu Mobuta.
October 12th, three late students were punished by the public morals committee chairman immediately.
Our daily activities always orient around the meaningless corruption of school public morals.
I have no idea how to stop the repeated violations of the same school rules day after day.
SFX: Kata kata (typing)
Mobuta: As a result of the cyber revolution, the lives of humans has undergone a complete change.
The new technology of "Cyberization", the insertion of a machine onto a part of the human body, has made human activities more efficient which has made civilization evolve even further.
But below the surface of that glory, a darkness has begun to manifest itself on acadamies at the same time.
The rise of the Cyber Yankiis.
TL Note: A Yankii is a Japanese term for a delinquent youth.
They conduct illegal remodeling on their bodies breaking far worse school rules than normal delinquent students.
Now delinquent students don't just remodel their school uniforms, they remodel machine guns onto their arms.
They don't just drive motorcycles recklessly through the city,
they combine themselves with their motorcycles and destroy the city.
SFX: PARARIRA PARARIRA
Page 5:
Mobuta: To protect the acadamy from such fiendish delinquents, we have our committee chairman.
Chairman: Hey, you two over there.
The girl with the nickname "School Lethal Weapon", Miyamoto Shizuka.
Her family has done duty in the Ministry of Education for generations and have long protected the public morals schools. She is the daughter of a public morals committee chairmen family.
Shizuka: Surprise uniform inspection.
What? Do you have something to say?
Mobuta: She values the school rules above all else and conducts herself in a spirit of austerity. Also...
Shizuka: Your boosters are 2 millimeters longer than the regulation length.
Mobuta: And in contrast to that oppressive appearance, she has a steel right hand that could slice right through a heavy tank.
She's the one who saved me once soon after I had transferred schools and someone hid my underwear during swim class.
Shizuka: Your boosters are 5 centimeters short of the regulation length.
(On Page): They seem to be too short.
Person: No, uh, those aren't boosters.
Mobuta: She's the lone flower blooming in this acadamy of machines. I was drawn by her divine appearance so I chose a path where I can go along side her, but...
Girl 1: Hey, hey! Did you hear that rumor about the public morals committee chairman?
They're saying she got a man recently.
(On Page): Eh? Seriously?!
Girl 1: Supposedly people see her rendezvousing with him every night at the old school building.
Girl 2: That's terrible~~ She's someone who's supposed to uphold the school rules and hoe she's always saying how having an illicit sexual relationship is a violation and all!
Girl 1: Well, it's something she's choosing herself to do.
Page 6:
Mobuta: The committee chairman is having an illicit sexual relationship?!
That solemn girl who holds the rules in higher esteem than anyone...
That ladylike girl who mistook my baby star for boosters when she was measuring...
TL Note: Baby Star is a brand of ramen. The joke is that they sound similar.
Mobuta: is coming here night after night having surprise inspections where she measures boosters and has her boosters measured?!
I cannot accept thiiiiis!!
I absolutely cannot!! She... The committee chairman would never do something so slovenly!!
I'll just take a look. I, public morale committee secretary Mobu Mobuta will
find proof exonerating the committee chairman...
!!
Committee chairman!! Sh... She's really here!!
Shizuka: How are you feeling today?
Mobuta: Who's there?! Who's she speaking with?! Could it really be true?!
Takeru: How'm I...? Just look at me, I'm obviously rock hard!
Mobuta: R... Rock hard?! Wh... Wha... What does he mean?! Where?!
Takeru: Quit messing around and get me comfortable. I'm tired of being up like this all the time.
Mobuta: Up all the tiiiime?! WHAT IIIS?! WHERE?! IN WHAT WAY?!
Shizuka: You've got to stay up there and think about the crimes you've done. That is your fate.
Mobuta: S... Stay up?!! C... Committee chairman... Don't tell me this is some sort of neglect play......
Takeru: You utter wise-ass bitch, I'm not gonna forget this! I'm definitely gonna get you back for this!
Mobuta: Get baaaack?! He's going to get her to her back over and over again?! Wha... What on earth kind of play is...
I... I cannot allow thiiiiis!
I don't know who he is or where he's from, but I cannot allow the committee chairman to be seduced by such bawdy actioooons!!
Page 7:
Mobuta: You bastaaaaard!! Under my authority as a student...
What do you mean by you'll "get to her back"?!!
Shizuka: !!
Mobu!!
Mobuta: I will not allow you to dirty our committee chairman any longer!!
What year and class! Tell me your name!! I'll have you suspended immediately!!
.............
Takeru: I'm from Bankara High School year 152 class G.
TL Note: Bankara means scruffy or unconcerned about one's appearance.
Gouda Takeru.
Sorry, but
I've already been in suspension for a good 150 years now.
SFX: GIRORI
Page 8:
Mobuta: He... He... he's
Hard as a roooock!!
C... Committe chairmaaaaan!!
Th... This... This guy's... frozen soliiiiid!!
SFX: BUZAA
Mobuta: One of our school's students has been frozen solid in ice...?
Wh... What on earth is going on heeere?!!
Shizuka: Honestly... Trespassing into an off-limits area......
...Well, whatever. I'd have to explain it to you, too, eventually.
Mobu, do you know what a "banchou" is?
TL Note: A Banchou is a Japanese term for a leader of a gang of juvenile delinquents.
Mobu: H... Huh?!
Shizuka: In the distant past, before the cyber revolution, they were phantasmal creatures that lived on school campuses.
They are said to be devilish creatures that exist on acadamies that hold the entire schools under their thumbs.
And though they have normal flesh and blood bodies, their mighty fists are said to even be able to crush iron.
And among those "banchou" there was one said to be the most dangerous, the most fiendish...
One that drove banchou all over Japan to extinction and pushed academies all over Japan to the deepest depth of terror imaginable.
The most fiendish and evil of all the banchou.
Page 9:
Shizuka: He was so fiendish in fact, that the Ministry of Education labeled him as a problem child at the level of a level 10 natural disaster.
Threatened by this School Armageddon, by the hands of a special public morals committee member,
he was sentenced to the punishment of "eternal hallway".
Since then, that banchou has been forced to continuously stand in the hallway for 150 years.
Yes, that person is Ministry of Education Management Case No. B-983.
A demon left over from a previous age, the world's most evil brat...
The "banchou" of Bankara High School
Kouda Takeru.
The special public morals committee member chief that sealed him was a member of the Miyamoto family, my ancestor.
The reason my family has been protecting the public morals of this campus for generations is
to make sure a school "banchou" never appears again...
And to make sure this "banchou" stays sealed.
Page 10:
Mobu: Th... This stiff is a legendary banchou that once ensnared the acadamy in darkness?!
And the committee chairman is the descendant of the legendary public morals committee chairman that sealed him?!
I... I never knew the committee chairman was in such an RPG-esque situation...
Takeru: Gimme a fuckin' break, moron!
If you'd shut up for a second and stop making me out to be Demon King Baramos,
TL Note: Demon King Baramos is a main villain in Dragon Quest III. Zoma is the real main boss of DQIII, and secret master of Baramos.
Takeru: you'd know that it was those guys that were the real Baramoses, trying to confine our freedoms when we wouldn't be silent......
I'm nothing but a freedom-seeking Zoma!! ["Zoma" is big.]
Mobu: Er, that's not really any different. Actually he's an even greater Demon King.
Takeru: And just because I was exercising my freedom, I get pushed around by that smart-mouthed woman? Bullshit!
Shizuka: Don't listen to him. Let's go.
Takeru: Would you rather be an underling of Baramos or Zoma? Think about it!
Shizuka: Regardless, according to the orders we've been given are that you're more devastating than we'd expect.
Takeru: No point in ignoring me! What's Baramos' is Zoma's and what's Zoma's is just Zoma's, ya know?!
Shizuka: We wish for your continued efforts here.
Takeru: Um... W... Wait a sec'! It was all a bluff! If that's what you're gonna do then I don't even mind being your henchman... [Italics on "your".]
(On Page): Shizuka-chaaan, Mobu-kuuun please waaait!!
Hey! Are you listenin' to me! Shizuka, you bitch!
Shizuka: Just leave all future direct contact with him to me.
He'll utilize every manner of deception to lure us into breaking his seal.
Well, with a creature of that sort of inferior intelligence I doubt there's a being alive that would be fooled.
Takeru: Hey, Mobu-kun, listeeeen!! That woman's trying to act all cool like a public morals committee member, but
Page 11:
Takeru: After school, she puts on a loose fitting jersey and reads issues of Margaret she confiscated from other students!!
TL Note: Margret is a shoujo magazine published by Shuueisha.
She had a bag with a three week old mold-covered yakisoba bread sandwich in it, ya know!!
SFX: GACHAH
Shizuka: Shut uuuuup you hoodleeeeeem!!
SFX: DON
SFX: PISHIH
Mobu: C..........
Committed chairmaaaaaan!!
Shizuka: D... Dammit!!
Takeru: Fuhahahahaha! You've fallen for my trap, Shizuka!!
Mobu: What did you dooooo?!! The banchou's seal iiiis!!
SFX: PAAN
Shizuka: Y... You're wrong. This...
isn't Yakisoba sandwich, it's a croquette sandwich!!
Mobu: That's what you're concerned about?! That's just some Sea of Decay sandwich, isn't iiiit?!
SFX: PUUN
TL Note: Sea of Decay is a reference to Miyazaki's Nausica筐of the Valley of the Wind .
Page 12:
Takeru: Kukuku, the time has finally come!
The time when I have awakened from repeating grades over and over again has finally come!
SFX: GAH
Takeru: How dare you force me to stand in this dirty-ass hallway for 150 whole damn years, Shizuka.
First thing I'm gonna do is call all you detestable public morals committee members to the bathroom and turn that place into a bloodbath. And then......
SFX: GOGOGOGO
Takeru: I will once again conquer the entire country...
and this time I will be Japan's greatest leader!!
Muhahahaha
SFX: CHONMARI
Both: ......
Takeru: I'll start by cutting you apart, Shizukaaaa!!
Just come to the bathroom for a secooooond!!

Mobu: Morals Committee activities log.
October 13th.
A student remodeled his hair into a decapitation wire, and was shaved bald as a reprimand.
SFX: KIIIN KOOHN KAAHN KOOHN (school bell)
Mobu: Yesterday I had a bad dream.
It was a horrible nightmare where a great demon king called a "banchou" was sealed in the old school building, and the committee chairman was the descendant of the heroes who sealed him,
but then his seal was broken with a rotten sandwich.
But due to his long sleep, the banchou's body was reduced to the level of a mere little brat, and then it had an absurd ending when he was killed instantly by the committee chairman.
SFX: UIIIN
Mobu: Maybe I'm a bit tired.
Perhaps the daily life-or-death struggle with the cyber yankiis is biting into my soul.
Page 14:
Mobu: Anyhow, I'm glad it was just a dre...
SFX: KAH KAH
Board: Gouda Takeru
TL Note: The way his name is written on the board uses kanjis that aren't how his name is normally written but is phonetically the same. They read as nirvana-starve-steep-much-blood-flow.
Takeru: I'm Gouda Takeru, 167 years old.
My interests are procrastination, the type of girls I like are yankii girls with droopy eyes and perms like Kudou Shizuka from Onyanko Club.
TL Note: Onyanko Club was was a large all-girl Japanese pop idol group in the 1980s.
People: Nice to meet you.
TL Note: Here, and for the next bunch of lines, they do the same thing writing what they're saying using kanjis for odd or unpleasant words like "night", "tears", "pain" and "death".
Mobu: .............It wasn't a dream.
Shizuka: Huh? Where's my text book...? Oh, another sandwich.
Mobu: I wish it were a dream.
Committee Chairman......
Shizuka: You're wrong!! This is a hand-crafted clay sandwich, so...
TL Note: After Shizuka's line the kanjis go back to normal.
Mobu: No... Not about that.
But wait, you even have rotten sandwiches in your desk? Can you just never clean anything out?
SFX: GATA GATA
Page 15:
Mobu: Anyhow, why is he here?!
Shizuka: It is my family's duty to keep him under surveillance, so I had no choice but to bring him with me.
Mobu: No, you can't do that, riiiiight?! Brining a guy like that around who was sealed until yesterday?
(On Page): You've been staring at me pretty hard for a while now, haven't you?
Huh? Stare?
You've been staring, haven't ya? Aren't your eyeballs coming out of your head?
Shizuka: Right now this guy couldn't even beat up a grade schooler.
I doubt he'll be of any harm.
SFX: PAAAN
Shizuka: By the way, I've decided to tie you up in the room next to your dorm after school.
Takeru: Wha?!!
Shizuka: You don't seem to have had any family around since you were sealed wither, so there won't be any problems.
Takeru: I think then there's gonna be nothing BUT problems!!
SFX: ZURUZURU (dragging)
Shizuka: There will be no problems.
Even if I give you one final chance,
with that body, you no longer can do anything bad, Gouda Takeru.
Why don't you just obediently rehabilitate and try to graduate from this school?
Takeru: Listen, mold sandwich girl, I ain't graduating until I become a great banchou.
Like a phoenix, I will repeat grades again and again.
Mobu: That's not a phoenix! You're more like just a mold sandwich!!
Shizuka: If you rehabilitate, you'll get real freedom. Won't that be enough?
Takeru: Huh? Then if I rehabilitate, it'll be okay if I call you guys to the bathroom and beat you up?!
Mobu: No, do you even know what rehabilitation means?!
Page 16:
Shizuka: I wouldn't mind.
Mobu: !! Committee Chairman!!
Shizuka: If you graduate, be it the bathroom or wherever, we'll go with you.
Mobu: Committee Chairman, did you just casually include me in that deal, too?!
Takeru: You guys the ones who're in the wrong.
I missed 150 Springs.
Shizuka: But even if you repeating the same grade hundreds of times or getting hundreds of years older
as long as those eyes never close, Spring will always keep coming.
Go and take them back,
the Springs of your youth.
If you say you'll put everything you have into taking those back,
we, the public morals committee, will put everything we have into supporting you.
But if you say you're going to break school rules,
we'll give all we have to tear your youth to scraps.
Takeru: Uuuh... You bitch.
Even though you're the same person, the you with droopy eyes is totally different from the you with those slanted eyes.
Students: Namekawa-san. Look, there. Next to that rotten committee chairman.
Hey, hey, that guy doesn't have any cyberizaion! That' so uncool in this day and age.
Page 17:
Students: What backwater did you spring out of, little gu~~~~y?
Both: !!
Teacher: Y... You there, what do you think you're doing in the middle of a class...
SFX: FOOON
SFX: DOON
Guy: ...Sensei, if you could just give us a moment of the class's time...
See, I'd like to give the transfer student a little greeting, too.
As the ruler
of this school.
SFX: HAKIHAKI
Page 18:
Shizuka: Namekawa...!!
Takeru: Whozzat?
Shizuka: He suddenly appeared on campus 2 months ago.
And in the blink of an eye he rose to the top of the Cyber Yankiis. Right now, he has the power to get 90% of the students of the school to buy him a yakisoba sandwich.
With a 90% machine body, he's the strongest of all Cyber Yankiis.
The super-alloy noble youth, Namekawa Tsuneo!!
Namekawa: I'd like to welcome the transfer student to Bankara High School.
There are just a couple things I think you should know relating to coming to this school.
That come lunch recess time, you should go buy a yakisoba sandwich and bring it to me within 30 seconds.
Got that? What you obey on this campus isn't the school rules,
it's the rules I lay out.
Takeru: Hey, 90% of his body is machine, right...? What's the other 10%? Kindness?
Mobu: Huh? ...Er, I don't know, but...
Takeru: Ya'd think if he got up to 90% he'd just go the whole nine yards and make all of himself machine. He's just got a little left, right? He can see the goal tape from where he's standin'.
Namekawa: ...Hey, are you listening?
Mobu: Say, what about down there? If 90% of him's machine, that part's gotta really be something.
Takeru: No, like you said, 90% of him is machine and he controls 90% of the school, right? So that's his thing, he always goes to 90%. He always stops just before the end.
He's always just got a little more to go, why doesn't he just buckle down and get to the end? Why's he always break down right in front of the finish?
Page 19:
Namekawa: Oi...
Takeru: Somebody give this guy some encouragement! Tell him not to give up till the very end! He's waiting for the Sarai song!
TL Note: The Sarai song is the theme song for a Japanese charity show played every year famous for inspiring people to work hard and have courage.
Mobu: No, I don't think it's effort that's the problem. There were probably reasons to leave some parts behind, don't you think?
Namekawa: Oi, enough already!
Take: Oh, you mean like his testicles?
Mobu: Ah, right!! So he's the super-alloy ball noble you...
TL Note: This is a pun, the word for alloy is "Goukin" and ball is "tama". The kanjis form "Kintama" meaning testicles.
Namekawa: Who the hell's a super-alloy ball noble youthhhhh?!!
SFX: DON
SFX: DOOOON
Namekawa: !!
Takeru: That was a pretty lousy kick.
SFX: PARA PARA
Takeru: Do you still actually call yourself
a banchou?
SFX: PIRI
Page 20:
Shizuka: He dodged that kick going at the speed of sound...?!!
It can't be... As he is now, he has that kind of power...?
Namekawa: Was something screwed up with my alignment?!
There's no way my electronic cranial nerves coulda been messed up......
Are you seriously a flesh-and-blood human?
Mobu: Kouhai, if you remodeled your body down to being 90% testicles, do you think then I'd be able to beat you?
Namekawa: Then basically all I would be is a massive pair of balls, wouldn't I?!!
Takeru: You shouldn't underestimate me too much, ya know...
70% of my body is water, and the remaining 30% is all remodeled into Kudou Shizuka!!
TL Note: Kudou Shizuka is a famous Japanese pop idol. His tattoo reads "Shizuka Life".
Somebody: That'd just make you the normal Kudou Shizuka!! [Kudou Shizuka is big/black.]
Namekawa: !!
You!! That wound...!!
No way, you're...
!
Shizuka: Stop, Takeru. Or have you already forgotten your promise to rehabilitate?
I will put an end to all breakers of school rules.
Page 21:
Namekawa: Hmph... Do you plan to have us both to shoot each other for the sake of order in the school, chairman?
Committing double suicide with a beautiful girl doesn't sound too bad, but
by the time those dated model cyber artificial hand get close enough to slit my throat,
with these new model cyber artificial legs, I'd be able to get to the store and buy a yakisoba sandwich.
Let us end this pointless battle, chairman.
Soon, those precious rules you defend will no longer have any meaning.
And we will be switching to my rules.
So make up your mind. Do you want to be blown so full of holes that you look like a beehive, or are you gonna go buy a yakisoba sandwich?
Mobu (On Page): Chairman...
Shizuka: ...Namekawa
Sorry, but I prefer croquette sandwicheeees!!
Namekawa: Then go to Hell!!

Somebody: Hey, I can't hear you!
That's another 5 sprints!
Mobu: Sorryy! Faio!! Faio!!
Shizuka: Sorryy! Faio!!
SFX: ZEEHAA ZEEHAA
Mobu: Committe chairmaaan, why did we have to have this kind of punishment?!!
(On Page): Hey, do you think a "sorry" like that you can make it to nationals?!!
Shizuka: We have some blame as well for not being able to prevent the disturbance.
Mobu: Just because of that we've ended up having to go to the national "sorry" tournament?!!
Shirauma: I can't believe you guys fell behind somebody like Namekawa.
I told you, didn' I? You committee guys are my last stronghold.
Takeru: Gu~ys, drop your sorrys off there. It's break time.
I made honey-covered mold sandwiches!
(On Page): Good job guys!
Page 24:
SFX: GOH
Shizuka: This is all because you had to provoke those guys, you know. You should go to the national sorry tournament, too.
Takeru: No way! You should go to the world sorry tournament for doing that to my honey sandwiches!
If you wanna run so bad, then why don't you make that horse run, too, and open a derby, Mobu-kun.
Mobu: Didn't you see that tragedy before?! That man is even feared by the cyber yankiis. He's the slaughter gym teacher!!
Are you not satisfied with just Namekawa?! Do you want the White Base to have his eyes on you?!!
Takeru: If picking fights were a job, the one to buy them all up would be banchous.
Shizuka: You're weak, even though you looked like an intimidating monster back they're.
If you took on Namekawa now, you'd be killed instantly.
Shirauma: Well then...
isn't this situation convenient for you committee members?
Namekawa and the banchou.
One of the two bumps will be flattened.
Shizuka: !!
Sh... Shirauma-sensei...
You know about him... the banchou?
Shirauma: Try letting them fight each other, Miyamoto.
The worst yankii of ancient times and the strongst yankii of the modern day.
Figuring out which one of them is strongest sounds pretty good.
Page 25:
Shizuka: Wh... What are you saying, sensei?!!
Please don't do things to encourage him!
Just how much do you know, exactly...?
You want me to let him commit the same indiscretions he did 150 years ago?!
As public morals committee chairman, I cannot allow that.
Shirauma: Even if we don't make that choice ourselves, that Namekawa guy will come himself.
You know the phrase "blood for oil"? That would end up as flesh for iron.
The thinking of idiots is the same no matter what the era.
The boiling of Bankara can't be stopped.
Shizuka: ...................
I can stop it.
He... Taker is reforming, and has promised to graduate with us.
(On Page): Huh? I never heard about any of that.
Shizuka: He has already given up on fighting. I will stop Namekawa on my own.
He's been frozen in ice for 150 whole years.
We should be able to say he's been forgiven now. We should be able to say he'll see Spring.

Shizuka: I will protect
his youth.
Narration: I can sum up my recommendations to the youth in three phrases. Those are work, work, and more work.

Mobu: Public Morals Committee activity journal.
October 15th, for launching an attack while attending school, three supporters of Namekawa were punished with suspension
October 16th, for launching an attack after school six supporters of Namekawa were punished with suspension.
October 17th,
For sneaking into the girls' dorm and taking powerful photos of the committee chairman's room, a student has been punished with a mold sandwich.
October 18th,
For sneaking into the girls' dorm and trying to clean up the committee chairman's room, a student has also been swallowed by the Sea of Decay.
Page 27:
Mobu: October 18th, at the scheduled morning inspection, all illegal weapons were confiscated.
Since the banchou was revived, it seems the committee chairman has been worked even harder than before.
The reason her room got so dirty is because she can't clean it up. It's not because of her girlishness, it's because of that fervent work ethic that I can believe in her.
On the other hand, she's not shirking her duties of keeping guard over the banchou one bit, either.
Shizuka: Hurry up.
Takeru: I can't get a moment's peace here!! I'm having to cover my ears!! Please, stop making noise!!
Sign: No Smoking
Mobu: She doesn't leave his side for an instant.
Because of this, the banchou has been grumbling about being made to stand in the hall and her never changing.
Just how many times has it been now that she's come and gone from that cold, dark, hallway?
Sign: Banchou
Mobu
Ple~~~ase don't take off that sailo~~~r uniform,
I can't right now. Please try~~ to bear i~~t.
Takeru: Like hell I can bear this, moron!!
I told you to sing that in a lullaby version, didn' I?!
Sound more like a high school girl!! Ferget your embarrassment!!
Mobu: I'm doing my very best here!!
But I don't freaking know a song this old! It's a 150 year old song!
Taker: Quit whinin'!! I can't sleep unless I hear that song!!
Page 28:
Mobu: If you wanna hear it that bad, then go get a CD of it!
Takeru: They stopped producing those a long time ago!!
I'd rather install a high-performance music player in my body and play a high-quality singing voice than...
Takeru: I'm being pulled like a torture victim, and that's just a home electronic appliance!!
Mobu: How about as a test, we try putting on a AKB 5008 song!?
Takeru: I don't wanna hear somethin' like......
!!
(On Page): Please don't take off that sailo~~r uniform,
TL Note: This is a joke on AKB48, a female idol group started in 2005.

I can't right now. Please try~~ to bear i~~t.

Shizuka: It's because I kept singing it every day for 10 years... I have it totally memorized.
Mobu: .............
You went to that place every day for 10 years?
Shizuka: ...............
It's nothing to be proud of.
Page 29:
Shizuka: The first time I was brought there... I was a little afraid, but...
Takeru: Whadda we got here? The next in line to keep watch?
Hey, little girl, I've got somethin' I gotta ask ya!
Have you heard of "Don't take off that sailor uniform"?
Shizuka: I realized right away that he was just an idiot.
.........My family is a family of public morals committee members who have guarded both the school public morals and the seal on the Banchou for generations.
My mission has been to protect the academy's public morals ever since I was a small child.
But as I'm sure you know, public morals committee members are... east to dislike.
Living my life trying to be an example for other students by obeying the rules, people kept a distance from me, and I never had anyone I could call a friend.
And as ironic as it sounds, the only one I could conversations with me was
the devil that my family had imprisoned, the public morals committee's greatest enemy.
him, the banchou.
He was a person who would only say horrible provoking things, but
for me who had no friends, he was important to me as someone I could talk to.
At first, he made be cry a lot,
but gradually, I even got used to the treatment.
And I could fight, something I usually couldn't do.
And other things that were bad behavior.
Somewhere down the line, that place..........
became the one place I could by my natural self.
Page 30:
Shizuka: It may have only seemed like a dark, cold, frozen hallways to you.
But...
for me, that place...
was a place I always wanted to stand.
A simple academy hallway where I could talk with a friend.
Hi, Banchou. I have this sandwich left over from lunch.
Takeru: I can't friggin' eat a mold sandwich like this!!
Shizuka: Hey, when are you going to be able to get out of there, Banchou?
Takeru: How the hell would I know?!! Just let me out right now you shitty brat!!
Shizuka: Have you really done those sorts of bad things?
Takeru: Get me the fuck out of here and I will! I'll kill your entire goddamn family!!
Shizuka: I know that a Banchou isn't really that bad a person.
But I can't let you out yet.
I'm gonna wait until I'm the same age as you, okay Banchou?
Then we'll go to school together, and ever graduate together. Okay, Banchou?
So until then, I'll keep bringing sandwiches for you every day.
..........
I did something unacceptable as a member of the morals committee family.
Page 31:
Shizuka: Because of my personal feelings
I broke the seal my family had always protected.
Mobu: I don't care if people scorn me for it.
Shizuka: ..............
Mobu: I...
believe in you, committee chairman.
And if I trust in you, chairman,
I believe in your friend, too.
Shizuka: Then please take a little bit better care of your body.
Leave him to me, take the night off.
Mobu: It's all right.
Because for me he's already... a friend.
Shizuka: .............
Thank you, Mobu......

October 19th. Today was a rare exception where the day passed without any incidents.
I'm glad nothing happened on a day when the committee chairman was absent.
(On Page): Please wait! We still haven't cleaned up!
Mobu: Even the committee chairman has stored up some fatigue as well, so I hope she takes it easy.
Banchou-san, would you like to go check on the committee chairman? I mean, if you're worried.
Takeru: Yeah, right. I finally got my freedom, why would I want to voluntarily go into that sea of decay?
If you inhale too many spores, you might end up with a mushroom growing on my crotch, you know.
Uh-oh, I've gotta hurry or I won't make it in time for Sunset Nyan Nyan!!

The blunders of youth make the victories of manhood and successes of old age more enjoyable.

TL Note: Ya know, I can't find any real English translation for most of these. I think a lotta these quotes are misattributed. Disraeli is famous for saying "Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret."

Namekawa: But that's just what makes me interested.
At first, you were no more than side entertainment to us.
But thanks to you, we got to meat a really interesting guy.
I heard he erased the Minister of Education, but
I can't believe he's still alive.
Shizuka: Namekawa...
You... know about the Banchou, too?
Namekawa: I've stood among thousands of campuses.
Made thousands of cyber yankiis surrender to me and go get me yakisoba sandwiches.
And why did I do that?
Do you know, chairman?
Because long ago... I was forced to go buy yakisoba sandwiches, too.
Such an agonizing youth planted an inferiority complex in me.
Having no self-confidence and always being nervous, I new that even if I went out into society, nothing would change.
It was an endless yakisoba sandwich.
Shizuka: Society?!
It can't be! You're...
Page 35:
Namekawa: But in order to go buy yakisoba sandwiches faster and with greater speed, I kept getting more and more cyberfications on my body.
And before I knew it, I changed from the side of the manipulated to the side of the manipulator.
SFX: KACHA
Yes, I'm the same as that Banchou.
I keep came back here in order to retake my lost youth.

At least, someone who relies on machines can't win against Namekawa's newest cyberization.
...But
you guys have him, don't you?
That's what our age was like.
If there were any trouble, before going to the teacher
we relied on the Banchou.
Scar: Nitta Eri Life

Page 37:
Mobu: Th... That's!!
Shirauma: Yes... It was true back then, too.
The Great Banchou War.
Long ago, in a trance over the Onyanko Club, the delinquents fought it out in a war over the seat of being their bodyguards.
The academies in those days were truly in ruin.
The banchous from all over Japan brought their soldiers and battled where blood was washed with more blood would unfold.
There was no green Spring
anywhere to be found.
But those Banchous were beaten and that meaningless war was stopped
by one "Bankara".
TL Note: A Bankara means a person with rough and wild speech and appearance. It was a popular word in the 70's.
Yes.
That was our Banchou.
Gouda Takeru.
Page 38:
Namekawa: But at that point, it was already too late.
The Minister of Education had gotten wind of the Yankiis' stupid ruckus.
Shirauma: He dispatched a group of special morals committee members into an army and brought them to the campus.
Yes... the goal was to exterminate us Yankiis.
And him, he went up against them all on his own.
Bearing on his back all the sins of the delinquents
in order to protect our youth.
Shizuka: M... Madness... Then that means that he, Takeru... his legend is the complete opposite...
Far from driving the Banchous to extinction...
Mobu: They... for the sake of protecting the campus...
And for 150 years he stood there... frozen in that hallway!?
Shizuka: Wh...y...
Why... would... he......
Namekawa: Hmph. That's...
a stupid question.

Namekawa: Because
he's a Banchou.

I've been waiting for you.
Shizuka: UGUH
Namekawa: No matter how much I stood at the top, no matter how many yakisoba sandwiches I bit into,
I could never quench the thirst of this soul of mine.
Banchou...
It may be that I just always wanted to make you and you alone buy my a yakisoba sandwich.
By putting you, the legendary Banchou, under my control
I could finally end my long high school life.
Shizuka: R...un... Takeru.
Takeru: ......Namekawa, just as I thought, you stopped at the level right below Banchou.
I never once did some cheap-ass thing like use underlings to do stuff for me.
But still, she brought it every day.
A sandwich I didn't ask for.
(On Page): Here, Banchou. It's today's leftover sandwich.
Page 41:
Takeru: Get those dirty feet out of the way.
That's my mold sandwich.
SFX: ZAH
Namekawa: ......Try and take it back.
Your Spring.
Let's settle this, and find and which is the last one standing here. You or me.
Takeru: ...Namekawa.
Do you know why a Banchou doesn't protect school rules or anything?
SFX: SUH
Page 42:
Takeru: That's because
we've got something we need to protect more.
Take back my youth? I don't ever remember it being taken.

Mobu: Public morals committee activity journal.
November 1st, a student has been punished for putting cyber-pet oil (pee) in their urine analysis.
Our daily activities always orient around the meaningless corruption of school public morals.
I have no idea how to stop the repeated violations of the same school rules day after day.
Since Namekawa's graduation, the threats in the academy temporarily stopped. But the next week, Silver Yankiis and Golden Yankiis and such came into the school in succession.
In preparation for these strong enemies, we the public morals committee have also been recruiting. And we're also planning some internal fortifying.

Shizuka: There is no such post as Banchou in this academy.
Your post is public morals committee member in charge of croquette sandwiches.

Sorachi: This is the one shot for the one-shot project I wrote about last volume. Anyhow, when I decided I wanted to do a Banchou story, I thought how Banchous really don't sit well with young people. It's the same kind of feeling people get from monsters out of fairy tales for some. But that made me all the more in a hurry to get immersed in giving Banchous, Yankiis and Onyanko a fantasy-style treatment, so I made this kind of totally exposed idiot manga.
The schedule was hell, but when I was drawing it I was having fun and in high spirits, so the plan expanded and ended up with an incredible amount of information in it. I thought I would die before I got it all put together. With the whole amount of information, the one-shot would've been around 100 pates and really hard to read. Please try reading it 3 times, though I'm late in writing the afterward, too.
Page 59:
Sorachi: Yes, so, now the Volume 38 Yamcha special ends. I felt like I got an enormous amount of Yamcha-related postcards, but I wanted to do that for the 3rd one. "Send them to somebody related to Dragonball!!" That sorta thing. You see, I wrote that postcard. I wanted to stop at three, so I wrote the postcard myself, and also did the punch line myself. I hope you guys don't mind. From now on, when you're going to send that kind of stupid postcards, pay attention to others' needs and write in patterns of 3, please. No matter how much I looked I could only find 2 Yamcha-related ones, so I had no choice but to do it myself. Read into the feeling here, and don't make Sorachi-sensei do another embarrassing thing like this, please. If everyone just does that. I know there are kids out there that can, so I have faith in you.
