Bokurano 65

If you want to use this let me know.
Sort of did it on a whim since it's the final chapter ( TДT)

It's Youko's brother! After acting a bad ass all this time, it's funny to actually see what he looks like. Ushiro's Dung Beetle form is hilarious too. Looking forward to seeing the commemorative issue.

Chapter 65: Dung Beetle 1

It begins with, "Kokopelli,"
It ends with "Dung Beetle."

Kito Mohiro
"Bokurano" new 10th volume on sale now.

It they win once more, it will decide the survival of this earth...

Page 3
Page 4

What,
You've gotten pretty damn cute, haven't you.

Page 5
So that's what you really look like?
Yeah,

It feels sorta weird,
My feet being able to reach the floor.
It's been a whole year since I've felt this sensation.

Page 6 [Note: Soryuushi Cell was translated as "particle cell" by M-S so I'll just keep it here]
The particle cell arrangement of your body should have been recorded into that stuffed animal too, so don't sweat it.

Though, the stuffed animal and your present body itself are also just arrangements of particle cells.

Naturally, with those shriveled up little arms you won't be able to hurt anythin'. [Lit: Monkey's paw]
'Things are they are, you're immortal. So relax.

Well then,

When we transfer to the next Earth, It looks like it's impossible to bring anything new with you, so ask for it now.

I don't have anything I need as I am. I've come to terms with inheriting this duty too.

Page 7

There's one thing that's bothering me,

If the last pilot loses the tutorial... the succession battle, what would happen?

The contracted pilots on the next earth ain't gonna die.
Even if the cockpit gets crushed they ain't gonna die.

Their particle cells will get rewritten and they'll be revived.
As far as the stuffed animal is concerned, there ain't no significance to any physical destruction.

Well, as a tutorial it ain't too great but,
As a bad example you'd fool 'em.

And my earth would be...
Obviously it'd go, BOOM, right?

And in that case, what would happen to me?

Page 8

Ah- My bad, I don't really know.

Anyways, even if the Earth that you're supposed to return to disappears, you ain't gonna be relieved of your role as the dung beetle. But,

As for what happens when the battle is over and you're done with your role as the dung beetle,
nobody told me nothin'.

Don't worry 'bout it,

As usual,
I came to see a fight,
I ain't losing.

Page 9

Well, wanna go ahead and,
sign the contract?

When we sign the contract we'll be transfered to the next Earth so, you ready?

Is this really all right? Captain Shouji's name is on the list a candidate to pilot as well.
Who the hell is that?

Ain't nobody else who can atone for Youko or shoulder her debt, right? It ain't like I'm not scared too, just stop fussin' 'bout it already.

Page 10

I wonder,

what kind of being it is,
that's arranging all this.

I thought I'd be able to understand if I took on this role.

It's just a natural phenomena, there ain't no human aspect to it.

Page 11
A God that's like a human, a higher existence, there are a lot of people that say things like that but,

God's just a numerical formula,
A set of physical laws that hasn't been solved.

Isn't it easier if you just think of it like that?

Well then,
come on,

Page 12

Page 15

It's about time.

I sort of wanted this to be a little more dramatic. [Lit: have a lingering memory] Even though it's somethin' this retarded/ridiculous, I ain't even got any strong feelin' toward it or nothin'.

We've arrived.
I was thinkin' it might be good to put on a bit of a more flashy show,
but this is reality, huh?

Page 16
11 people...

I was told 11 people.
Then these guys over here are just a bit lucky.

We've got to look for pilots again.
I guess we shouldn't be in high spirits about it this time

You ought to find a suitable group as soon as you can, with the dung beetle's powers it shouldn't be too hard.
Don't put any emotion into it,
that is, if you want this Earth to win.

What should I call you?

Page 17
Our real names ain't gonna matter now, so, Dung Beetle 'll be fine.
Then that'll cause trouble for me.

I guess there ain't no helpin' it,
Then I'll be Kokopelli, you're Dung Beetle.

That okay?
Dung Beetle?

Dung Beetle-Sama.
It'd be nice if you'd add a, "Sama," after it.

Hey,
Welcome to the cock pit.

Page 22
Oh... Oh... Oh...?
The chair... Is floating?
Could this place be...
I forgot to tell you guys the most important part so I'll say it now,

This ain't a game or anythin'.

This is an undertaking of murder using a robot with a span of 500 meters.
Cities will be destroyed and people will die, that's for sure.

Page 23

You'll be following an order and each be piloting it for one fight.
Sorry but, the people who have piloted it once will definitely die after the battle is over.

There ain't no raise spells or churches. But the only ones who can defeat the enemy are you guys, so get fired up.

First of all, I'll be the one to fight this battle coming up.
This'll be your only prep course, so watch closely.
Ho... Hold on... What did you just say?

What part's botherin' you?
That part about, definitely dying...

Ahh, didn't I apologize at the start? I said, "Sorry," right?

All of you,
are going to die [soon.] [Sounds more dramatic w/o the soon...]

Page 24

"Hey, don't make those faces,"
is what I'd like to say, but it'd be impossible, huh.

In place of the driving force [fuel?] necessary for one battle on this robot very you're riding on,
the life of the operator will be forfeited/taken.

In exchange for your lives, you'll have free reign over an immense power,
and you'll be able to save your friends.

Page 25
Aren't you happy?
Wha...

Page 26
Well, it's not like you'd understand the severity/reality of it right away anyways,
But you better not think it's got to be a joke or something that you're in this situation.

Th... Then,
What about you?

Ahh,
I'm gonna die,
when this fight is over.

Page 27
Well, watch me.

I'm able to fight.

And you guys will get/understand it soon.

Page 28
Page 29
Page 30

Ain't I just like Ushiro like this?
That bitch Youko's triumphant face was so dazzlin'.
Shit.

Did something happen?
Ah, sorry, it's nothin'.

I was just remembering, about the things that have happened.

You better not be thinkin' it doesn't suit me or nothin'.
Nope.

All right,
Here they come.

Page 31
Is it all right if I do one more thing that isn't befitting of me?
What could it be? There's no need for you to seek approval from me, is there?

Cause it's what you could call,
A boy's dream.

I'm feeling a little shy.

Page 32

Zearth,
Move out! [Deploy, Take off, etc whatever sounds the most mecha anime / boy hood dream-ish]

This is the life that's taken in exchange for an immense power. This is the dream of a boy. This is Ours [Bokurano] Thank you for reading.

Next time, a special commemorative conclusion issue (?)
It's publication has already been decided!! Look forward to it!!
