tl by molokidan

1)
small right: Shaman King returns!!! Here's the shocking second chapter of this
short serialization!!!

left: Be lost. Wander.

3)
1: War is so stupid.
2: 1944
3: Why do I have to go and kill people I don't even know?
4: The guys on the other side probably feel the same way.
side: Huh? Huh? Huh? A guitar in war time...? Wait, don't tell me the "new
character" from last time is the main character this time!

4)
1: In that case, everyone should just listen to my music and become friends!
2: Shimane Joe, a.k.a. Shimamura Joutarou (19)
3: I'm finally in America after all this time! It's time to start making some
friends!!!
4(2b): Are you retarded, Shimamura? This isn't America, it's Manchuria.
5(2b): I have no idea how you got that guitar over here, but you need to exchange it
for a gun. An officer will shot you before the enemy can.

5)
1: Hahaha! Why would one of my own allies kill me?
2: What an idiot.
3: W-wait a minute, did you just say this isn't America?!
4: Get involved and we'll get killed too.
5: ...I don't believe it...
6: I thought this would be a free ticket to America!
7: I can't believe they threw me somewhere else...
8: Oh well!
9: I'll just have to make friends with the people here instead.

6)
1(2b): Have you lost your mind? Wishing for friends on the battlefield is sheer
folly.
2: This is the field upon which two countries will battle each other for capital
and power.
3: No matter how positive your thoughts may be, the fact remains that you are
nothing but a pawn, and you cannot change their rules.

7)
1: You're pretty cold-hearted for a kid!
2: Wanna hear a song?
3: No.
4: I'd rather hear the sound of your head falling from your neck.
5: Wha?

8)
1: I am the mage that commands the government's corpse infantry--
2: 41st Heir to the Tao family, Tao Ching.

9)
1: Rejoice. I'm going to draft you into my army,
2: so you can go ahead and die submerged in your oblivious fantasies.
3: Wha?
4: Whaaaaaaa!!?

10)
1: --that happened a long time ago.
2: 1995 - Guizhou
3: I've never seen another idiot like that man who went on and on about ending the
war with song.
4: ...the Shaman Fight is imminent.
5: As the next heir to the Tao family, you must seize this chance to restore our
family's glory, and be careful of such men who may try and deceive you.

11)
1: Ren.
2: I present this man to you for your 9th birthday.
3: Private Shimamura Joutarou of the Imperial Japanese Army.

12)

16)
1: I already got rid of my foolish emotions long ago.
2: But if I were to put it more accurately,
3: it was more like I felt my heart slowly dying as I sliced through each body.

17)
1: Those who die singing,
2: those who die stealing,
3: those who die laughing, despite how foolish they may look,
4: and those who live by killing their heart and hardening their expressions.
5: If I am to live by killing my heart--

18)
1: then I'm already dead.
2: ...Kukuku.
3: 999 corpses, twained by a single slash...
4: Those who die singing,
5(2b): That's my grandson! The Shaman Fight is as good as ours!

2: ...stop stating the obvious, old man.

2: searching for this answer.
side: Toward the light...
