In order to protect my holyland, I will use power. My own power...!!!

10)
act.61 Kendo ~Kendo~

11)
T: Gathering up this many people to come lynch me...that's pretty harsh!
T: Does Yoshii-san know about this?
P: I told you, didn't I? This is personal...
P: What are you gonna do, Taka? If you keep quiet, I might forgive you after only one or two bones...
P: There's no way you can take this many...
T: Seems like the appropriate number to me, though?
T: I'm too strong, after all.

12)
P: Are you nuts?! You aren't the only one with bait here.
P: There's no way you can beat us.
T: What you all have...are just sticks.
T: Unless long things...
T: are held by swordsmen, they will never become swords.
B: What are the true kendo capabilities of the man Yoshii called the strongest?!

13)
T: The first thing one notices is the subtly moving tip...no matter how hard one tries, the existence of the sword cannot be freed from their mind, and the distance between seems to become wider!!
P: Bastard...he's just showing off, but it's messing up my concentration...
P: I'm gonna break that dumb stick in two!
P: Uorrah!
T: Following that,
P: Opening!!
T: The snap of the strike is extremely fast, and powerful!!!

14)
B: Guaaahhh!!
B: I...it...broke...guhhh
B: You broke it!!!
T: Sorry~ It's been a while, so I guess I put a little too much power into it.
T: But you guys came here with the intent to beat me to a pulp, right?
N: Not only can wooden blades easily crush opponents' bones,
T(3b): Then I don't wanna hear any complaints! You guys are full of openings--tighten it up a little!
N: but people who have never been struck on the wrists before (unlike punches) don't even have the slightest clue how to protect themselves!!
N: Another dangerous point
B: Bastard!
B: D-dammit!
B: is the idea of "bait." What exactly does it mean?

15)
N: When both parties are swinging something, it becomes a battle of swords!!
B: He's all alone!! Let's gang up on him!
B: Yeah!
N: But there isn't anything more dangerous than going up against a swordsman with one's bare hands.
B: Urahhh!!
B: Ohhhhhhh!
N: Alright, they're serious now!

16)
B: Uuuh!
sfx: koteh
N: Head!
N: Here I come!
N: Heaaaaaaa
B: Uwahhh!

17)
N: A sliding strike is when one pretends like they're going to strike the head and then slides down and hits the torso from the side. Regardless of it being a single move, the fact that a feint this large is possible
N: means that the attacks of a sword are that versatile.
N: They key to those subtle movements is the way the sword is held!!
N: There is a secret in the distance between both hands.
N: Normally, people put their fists together when they grip a bat, but this only allows the bat to move through force. Its movements will also be easy to read, at that.
N: What about this kendou grip, then?!
N: With this lever-like grip, after only moving the sword a dozen cm or so, the tip will move a whole meter!!

18)
N: Add in arms and torso movements, and one will be able to move the blade around freely, as if it was a part of their own body. Within seconds, the tip of the blade can travel meters--
N: But what does all this mean?
N: The answer is simple -- the movements are impossible for any amateur to read!!!

19)
B: Uuu..
B: Gu...
T: Looks like I'm a bit rusty...
T: I started losing my breath toward the second half. (How shameful...)
T: "Do not forget danger in times of peace," they say...I guess I need more...
Y: Great work as usual...!
sfx: clap clap clap
T: Yoshii!
Y: Sorry about this little misunderstanding.

20)
T: It's fine, but would you mind cleaning them up for me? There are some guys with broken bones, you know.
Y: Fine, fine, don't worry.
T: So, what's it gonna be?
T: When? Where?
Y: Now, now, no need to rush things. Let's just take this step by step. (Just clal me Mr. Step by Step)
Y: We won't be able to use the ordinary method this time around--it's Izawa we're dealing with, after all.
T: Hmmm...
T: He's that much of a scumbag?
T: I owe you, Yoshii-san, so you have my services...
T: But I don't like getting involved in meaningless fights.

21)
Y: If you're doubting whether he's really a bad guy or not, just let me tell you this: all of the problems around here lately have been the result of him secretly controlling the Thug Hunter from the shadows!
G: Yeah, yeah!
Y(2b): My men have been targeted one after another...it's like terrorism, man! Violence terrorism!
N: I see...
Y(2b): He uses boxing, and is pretty strong...and he apparently has ties with Yaks...I wonder what they are.
N: Seriously...? That's no laughing matter... (the yakuza...)
N: Alright, fine.
N: Leave it to me!
G: That was quick, Yoshii-san...
Y: Yeah, there isn't a simpler guy alive than this one...

22)
Y: There's one more guy who will be helping us out.
Y: Listen to what he has to say, alright...
Y: C'mon out.
Y: He's a guy who got fed up with the bastard's evil ways and escaped...the name's Noboru.
N: 'sup?
sfx: hmmm
Y: Now all that's left to do is set the stage...
Y: We're counting on you, Taka. Help us clean up this town...

23)
S: What's the meaning...of power lies in the fist!??
S: There's no meaning, it's just self defense!!!
S: It just means you have to put out all the fires that drop down on you, like this! Bam, bam!
Y: S...Shin-chan...
S: It's just because Izawa-san is so strong that he has the luxury of pondering philosophy like that. (luxury, man, luxury!)
small: Only people with luxury have the time to think about philosophy!
S: It's because fists come at you that you have to get stronger! There's no real meaning behind it all!
S: It's cold-hearted if you ask me. He's the one at fault for your slump, Yuu.
S: You just need to hurry up and fix your form.
Y: But...
Y: I feel like...it's connected with that...somehow.

24)
Y: The reason I have no power right now...and the meaning of power.
Y: I feel like I won't be able to step forward unless I solve that riddle.
S: Buuut the guy himself doesn't even know the answer, right?
Y: It's probably...different for each person...I think.
Y: He's not the kind of guy to say meaningless things...there's something there.
Y: I think the original reason my form broke was because the problem in my heart grew too large.

25)
S: You really are a complicated guy...well, anyway,
S(3b): It's so like you to sit and brood like that, I guess it can't hurt. The way you were when you were up against Izawa-san wasn't Yuu-esque at all. It was more like--
Y(2b): That's right!! I lost myself ever since Katou-san...and when I found myself again, my form was broken...
Y: Shin-chan...I...think I...
S: Ohh?! Figured something out?!
Y: I don't know...but...
S: Ohhh, you really hit on something big, huh?!

26)
B: Thug Hunter! Hey, it's the Thug Hunter!! C'mere!
2: Oh, seriously?
3: No way, for reals?
Y: S-Shin-chan!!
S: Ohhh...
B: Oh, look, he already wants ta ice us!
2: You wanna go, bitch!!

27)
B: You can glare at us all you want, Thug Hunter, it ain't gonna change shit...we all heard about how you got your wolf skin tore off...
2: Yeah, yeah! and that you're actually pretty weak!
Y: Three...I can't take them all the way I am now...
Y: Sh-Shin...chan...
Y: Your legs...can you make it? We're gonna have to run somehow...!!
Y: Biding time is...the only way we'll be able to survive this....
S: Ehhh?!
S: B-but....
S: Let's try and...stay here for a little longer...
Y: Ehhh!!? What are you talking about?? We have to run!

28)
B: What are you two blabbering about?! Just give up!
B: There's three of us!
S: Three might not be enough, you know?
Y: Shin-chan!!?
B: What was that, motherfucker?!
S: Hey, you're late!

29)
S: Shut up. Why are you two always in trouble when I come to meet you, anyway?
S: Are you emitting some weird signals or something?
sfx: heh-heh!
Y: Sho...
Y: Shougo-kun!!!
