Riki-Oh 1

**You might want to place this t/l note in the credits or something.

T/L Note: Riki-Oh contains a lot of prison vocabulary, that is, words used by inmates that require special explanation between the frames by the author. Just know that these words were already there, and we are not adding special 'prison terms' to make it more clunky, we're just following the script and its nuances.

P: Anyone who gets parole is bound to get some from him.
P: In the real world, he was close to some gang leaders over in Kansai (*tl note: Western side of Honshu, Japan's main island) who have some ties with the leader of this hell hole, so as a result, he's friends with the guards.
P: And now he just takes advantage of the fact that no one will lay a finger on him.

I: WHAAT?!
P: Yeah, plus, he's a pro boxer...they say he beat Hiramatsu to the brink of death on top of the poor guy's own bed..
P: Even the guards give Riki-Oh deferential treatment out of fear...seriously, let's stay away. That guy's strength is like no other...he's like an Angel of Death!
P: We may want to get back out to the real world, but he's different!
P: That guy is a man who's anxiously waiting to go to Hell...

W: U...ugh...
W: Mr. Guard, please believe me...I really haven't done a thing...
G: Hmph!
W: I..I have a wife and child awaiting me back home...
W: The whole time I've been in here I've been struggling to stay alive, just for the hope of parole...

?: Hey, didja hear? That Wakamatsu guy hung himself!
?: Yeah, and it seems like it was because Iwata somehow got the poor sap's parole retracted.
?: That guy seriously had the worst luck I've ever seen....
?: He was just a hardworking company man, but when he was hurrying to get his wife to the hospital, he accidentally ran over a patient they were bringing to the hospital.
?(bottom right): If it had been normal, they'd've sent him to Ichihara (traffic prison).The guy he hit happened to be a cop, though, so they bumped him up to B-Class.
?(bottom left box): And just think, he was only a few days away from getting back to the real world and seeing his family again.....
* Line on left side: B-Class = Usually reserved for repeat offenders or serial criminals.
