Insert: Physique, power, fighting spirit... they are all of course important.
But in this match, that alone will not decide the outcome.
Title: #037 Heated Battle

Page 2-3:
Insert: Rosenbergi VS. Palawanicus!!
Jou: "I can't see it"!
I still "can't see it, but......"
Higashikata Joubin is definitely............
manipulating 'something' and that he's trying to keep hidden!
That kick-like movements its hind legs are doing!!
They're almost mechanical!!
Like it's imbibed with Joubin's "will",
it's going after the joints on the Palawanicus's front legs!

Page 4-5:
Shuu: The Rosenbergi broke off another one 'a the Palawanicus's leeeegs!
Jou: ....................
SFX: BUCHU
Jou: !?
SFX: DROOOP
SFX: DROOP DROOP
BUCHUH
DRIP

Page 6:
Jou: Oh no... It could play dead with its leg joints being attacked,
but like Joushuu said, its legs are gonna be gone before that can happen!
I have to defend or...

Page 7:
Shuu: The Palawanicus's been lifted uuuup!
Another one of its hind legs is gonna be snapped oooooff!
Ah! It's slipping!!

Page 8:
Shuu: The Palawanicus fell!
It fell! We have a winner!
The Rosenbergi pushed it out of the riiiiiiing!
waaAAA HAHAHAAAAAH! [The letter's in Waaa get bigger as it goes along.]
Bin: Joushuu, take a look at the clock.
There's no winner yet.
It's a tie.
Time ran out... already.

Page 9:
SFX: TICK TICK TICK
Bin: That round went over the '45 second' time limit.
Stag beetles' intelligence and memory can't last any longer than that.
We're gonna 'square off again'......
Another '45 seconds'. We should be able to decide things here, right? In round 2.
Jou: ......................
Shuu: Kheh!! Jousuke!! Looks like you were juuuuust saved by the bell!
That Palawanicus of yours is already out mat....
Hah!

Page 10:
M...... atch............
Match is sure to be a good one, hu~~~h?
That Palawanicus sure had the win when it came to great moves and decisions!
Go get 'em Palawanicu~~~s!
Woo!
Bin: Jousuke!
Watch it there. That's my brush.
Your brush is this one, remember?
Calm down...... Jousuke.
Huhu? The pressure getting to you?

Page 11:
Jou: .....................
Bin: Or
do you have some concern?
Jou: No......
My Palawanicus......
had a tick on it here, so...
Bin: A tick......?

Page 12:
Bin: That seems sorta suspicious.
Jou: Well, actually... there is something I'm really concerned about.
You're the suspicious one, Joubin-san.
That Rosenbergi...
I just saw... something oozing out of its back.
Bin: ..............................
Jou: There's a 'hole' on its back...
'Something' was dripping out of it like it's melting.

Page 13:
Bin: ....................
Jou: I'm sure I saw it just a minute ago.
There was a 'liquid' oozing out of it.
What is that? That 'hole'?
SHuu: Hey, Jousuke! Now you're coming up with shitty false accusations?!!
Quit askin' my bro those weird que......
Bin: I'll answer you, Jousuke...
It's 'wax'!
The kind you use to polish shows or a baseball glove.
I opened a 'hole' here at the nerves behind the brain center with a narrow screwdriver and packed the wax inside.

Page 14:
Bin: Everything is 'normal' while the wax is solid,
but when the wax melts
it affects the nerves causing convulsive movements.
There are parasites that can control ladybugs bodies like zombies, but they can make them go wherever they want.
It's the same idea...... The thing you saw oozing out was 'wax'.
That's the sort of 'hole' on it.
You saw some of the wax melting out of the 'hole'.
Is that a satisfactory explanation?
Jou: You put...... wax..........
in a 'hole' you opened......
And now you just... put it back in, right?
Bin: If you want......... I can do it for your Palawanicus, too.
After the pheromones and after we repair the broken mandibles and a few legs with adhesive, that is.

Page 15:
Shuu: B...
Bro,
opening a 'hole' in the Rosenbergi won't... kill it or anything, will it?
Bin: Yeah, it'll die......
In around 20 minutes...
But it'll be totally fine for the 'next 45 seconds'.
Do you have any problem with that?
You don't, right?
Jou: .......................................
Bin: Jousuke, put it back in the ring!

Page 16:
Bin: In the next '45 seconds', we'll have our winner!

Page 17:
Shuu: It's round 2! This time, the Rosenbergi is approaching the Palawanicus!

Page 18:
Shuu: And right off the baaaat!
The Rosenbergi is moving quick!
SFX: DRIP
SFX: DROOP

Page 19:
Shuu: The Palawanicus is running!
The Palawanicus has turned to the side and it's running!!

Page 20:
Jou: Is this some mistake?
That's...!!
It was 'temperature' that was inside the 'soap bubbles' I sent over.
What's going on? Why was the air that was inside them at '60 degrees' Celsius?

Page 21:
Jou: I tried taking the temperature from the end of that brush with my 'soap bubbles'.
It felt hot when I touched it with my fingers so I took some.
It was just a little of it, but I also took some of the temperature from Joubin's Rosenbergi.
It was the temperature from when bit my Palawanicus and pushed it outside the ring...
This isn't simple.
He may have packed a 'hole' full of wax on the Rosenbergi's back
that would have an effect on the Rosenbergi's nerve system,
and it's true that wax melts at high temperatures like that, but...

Page 22:
Jou: Where did those '60 degrees' of 'heat' come from?
He never touched it with his brush, but...
Joubin is 'controlling' his Rosenbergi through temperature!
There's 'energy'.
There must be a 'heat source' somewhere.
Shuu: It's speeding uuuuup!

Page 23:
Shuu: AAH, AH!!

Page 24:
Shuu: UWAAAAH!
The repaired mandible! And a wing! Ahahahah!
Awesome!
Ahahahaha!
This is incredible!
The Rosenbergi's on an even bigger rampage than it was before!
It looked like its nerves were goin' nuts when it bit it, it practically destroyed that thing in an instant!
Jou: ....................

Page 25:
Jou: It looks like the temperature of the arena is normal.
The wax keeps melting and melting...
The only place where the temperature is going up is on the Rosenbergi! Just that one spot!
SFX: DRIP DRIP
SFX: DROOP
Shuu: It's lunging agaaaaaain!
And that huge Palawanicus finally managed to defeeeend!

Page 26:
Shuu: Another claaash!
It's a battle of power!
It dove!!

Page 27:
Shuu: A front leg went flying, too!
It's playing dead!!
It's feigning being dead!!
The Palawanicus has been flipped onto its baaack!
And the Rosenbergi...
SFX: GORON
Shuu: is biting its neck!!

Page 28-29:
Jousuke: ............

Page 30:
S... So that's what's going on......
The 'temperature manipulation'...
He finally show it for just an second...
His Stand Ability...!! The 'heat' that took the temperature to 60 degrees, Higashikata Joubin's 'Stand Ability'.
He's a 'Stand User'. He's controlling it by melting the wax.
Behind the scenes, this stag beetle fight has been a Stand battle.
The ability to manipulate 'temperature'.
I'll pretend I "didn't see it" for now, though.
I expected him to be some sort of 'Stand User' from the start...... So that's what it was?
Shuu: Upupupu!
Uhahahaha!
Big broo!
I can't! I can't take it anymore! I've gotta yell it out!

Page 31:
Shuu: The Rosenbergi has wooon! Awesooome! What a rampage!
Warning, gore! Warning, gore!
At this rate the Palawanicus is gonna be demoliiiished!
Big Bro woooooooon! Wahahahahaha!
Bin: ?

Page 32:
Bin: Oh you've gotta be kidding me, Joushuu.
It's not a big deal because it's dead,
but don't leave the hornet tank near our feet like this.
Shuu: Me?
Jou: ....................
Shuu: Huh...? But I...
didn't leave... it there...
?......
How?
Bin: Hey......

Page 33:
Bin: I don't see the lower half. ["don't" in italics.]
Where's the bottom half of the hornet? It cut in half before...
Shuu: Th... The bottom half...?
You mean the part with the poison stinger?
Huh?
It's over here!
H... How'd it get there?
Jou: ............
Bin: !!
......

Page 34:
Shuu: Something looks wrong.
The Rosenbergi is starting to spin around and around... That's a weird way to be moving even if it's on a rampage.
It bit the Palawanicus's throaaaat!
No... Wait!

Page 35:
Shuu: It missed the Palawanicus! What it bit was
the soft rush plant forming the ring!!
What's it doing?
It's attacking the ring! That's not normal! The Rosenbergi's movements are all crazy!
It's convulsing!

Page 36:
Shuu: What the hell?!! This is crazy!
What powerful convulsions!
SFX: AGAGAH
SFX: PARA PARA
Bin: HAH!
Jou: Now that you mention it, I saw wrong before when I said there was a 'tick' on the Palawanicus.
I tried to wipe it off with my brush,
but there weren't actually ant 'ticks' there. At least on mine... ["ticks" in italics.]

Page 37:
Bin: ...........
No way...
Shuu: Big Bro, this Rosenbergi
is going bonkers! There's 'some' sorta liquid oozing from all over its body!!
Is that the wax you had in that hooooole?!
Or was it filled with poison or something?!!
The Palawanicus got back up!
It's launching a counterattaaaaack!!

Page 38-39:
Shuu: UGEEEEEeeeeeeeh!!
It's dead!!
Jou: ....................
Bin: The hole I made to store the 'wax'.
...Out of that came...........
Shuu: B... Big Bro!
..........It wasn't me! I didn't leave
the hornet tank under the tabllllle!

Page 40:
Jou: I had no intention of losing from the beginning......
Looks like I won...
The "Lamborghini... Gallardo".

Page 41:
Jou: Thanks for that!!
Shuu: UAAAAAA
Bin: Wait, Jousuke!
Who are you?
We're not done here. I'm not letting you out of this room! You're not leaving!

Page 42:
Bin: Get back in here......
Hey... Come here, Jousuke.
This isn't over yet.
Close the door.
Come back inside...

Page 43:
Tsuguri: All right!
There it is!
We finally got the 'key'!
SFX: BODON

Page 44:
Tsurugi: Big Sis Yasugo, not that way!
There are cameras in the entranceway and the garage.
This way.
Over here.
Climb.
We've gotta hurry.
Because he's only got stag beetles on his mind right now......
We've gotta check the Lamborghini's event data recorder.
My Dad's definitely going to "wherever" the fruit tree is!
If he realizes we're onto him, he'll hide the proof!
Jousuke's real 'objective' might've already been exposed!

Page 45:
Bin: What did you come here for?
This battle... you planned it from the beginning, didn't you?
Insert: They've gotta hurry...!
Bottom: To be continued
