Text on Oniyama's back: BOSS
O: So you're that Saiga Riki-Oh guy?
O: I won't forget you....beheheheheh.
O: My name's Oniyama! This is a meeting for the council we have in order to govern theA-ZONE in a democratic fashion.

orange: GATE OF BEASTS

10)
O: Around here they call me Corpse Oniyama.
O: Mainly because I'm famous for making corpses.
O: Mmmm...this gasoline is high-octane!
J: He's been gradually going crazy due to lead poisoning from gasoline.
J: Don't even think about taking him on.
O: By the way, how did you end up making a corpse of Hachisuka anyway?
O: Some kinda blade...?
O(small): strangle
O: Or did you catch him off-guard when he was sleeping...hmmm!?
P: That's...!!

11)
P: He took on Hachisuka with his bare hands...!!
P: It's true! There aren't any cuts or stab wounds!
P: What an amazing kill this is...hehehe...
O: Behehehe! So you even managed to put in some aesthetic value when you killed your superior...
O: I like it! Behehehe!!
J: (small) What aesthetic?
P: Hey, cut open Hachisuka's belly with some glass!

13)
P: Woah!
P: G...gold bars!!
O: Solid gold ingots he stole from a bank after destroying it.
O: His greed was so intense he decided to hide them within his stomach.
O: Strip him clean!

14)
O: I'll take the gold, but you can have his boots.
O: I have bad athlete's foot....behehehe!
P: Sh...shoes!!
P: Hey, dumbass! I had 'em firt!!
J: How miserable...
SFX bubble: Buchu
O: Now then, let's get down to the real business.

15)
O: There was only one reason the alarm was sounded -- one of you bastards went against the rules!!
O: Someone went and threw this into the ocean!!
P: Wh..who was it?!
P: It wasn't me!!
O: Hah! It'll be easy to figure otu who it was.
O: It looks like there's a letter stuck inside it.

16)
O: Ehhh? What the hell is this?! "Your brother's fine, don't worry. Please become happy enough for the both of us..."
O: To sister...Akiho...from...Fuyuki...
O: ...Joe!!
P: You're not getting away!!

17)
J: Uggghhh!!
J: Sh..shit...
O: Did you really think that by throwing this in the ocean, it would reach your sister by some stroke of luck?
O: What an idiot! Behehehehe!!
O: You're going to be heavily punished for breaking our rules.
O: Well, Boss #13...

18)
O: It's time for your first job:
O: Beat Joe to death!!
P: Here, we'll even help ya out!!
P: Gihehehe! What's with that "be happy enough for the both of us" shit? Don't make me laugh!!
P: What's wrong, Riki-Oh!? If you're truly #13, then go on and do 'im good!!

19)
P: Riki-Oh...
P: Guhehehe!! Just rest assured and die already!! That sister of yours has probably forgotten all about her no-good brother, moaning like a slut under some man's body right now!!
J: Akiho isn't that kind of girl!!
R: You two have any family?
P: Heh....I sent my wife and kid into a lake in my car so I could get the insurance!
P: I stuck my old lady into a chimney and burned her alive! Gihehehehh!!
R: I see...

20)
O: What?!

21)
P: Hey, fuckass! Where are you aiming?!
P: The one you wanna hit is this guy!!
R: No...it's you!!
P: Eh?!
J: Riki-Oh...

22)
O: Hey!! What are you, crazy?!
R: The only crazy ones here are you!! Those without love for their families...are no longer human!!
R: Joe, torn from his sister...and I, separated from my younger brother since birth...there's no way you could understand our feelings!!
J: Older brother...?
R: In my infancy, I threw away my younger brother.
R: My twin brother...my last true remaining family member!!

23)
N: Brother Riki, are you ready yet...? I'm gonna find you!
N: Ready yet!?
N: Ready yet!?
R: Nachi...
N: Ready yet!?
R: From that day, my conscience became painted in blood.
R: The entire reason I came to this cape, was to beg Nachi...my brother...for forgiveness!
J: Nachi...?
O: You came here out of your own will?! Fuck that!!
O: Begging your brother for forgiveness...
O: No one in their right mind would come all the way to Hell just for that!!

24)
O: Family!? Love?!
O: What a joke!! If you don't throw away your humanity and become a beast, there's no way to survive here in Lageri!!
O: All who live here are just monsters dressed up like humans!!
P: He....he lit his hand on fire...

25)
R: Before you slice anyone with that glass, I'm going to blow your stomach apart.
R: With all the gasoline in your stomach, it should be no problem at all.
O: Uuuu...
R: After thinking about the pain of one who threw away his younger brother...these flames don't feel hot at all.

26)
R: Until I meet my brother and atone for my sins, I shall not die!!
O: Hiieee!!

27)
O: He..hehe! You're really a funny guy.
O: I may be an idiot, but someone like you who comes willfully to Hell with a big smile on their face like that...is an even bigger idiot beyond salvation!!
O: I admit it, I lose to you...heheheheh!!
O: I'll entrust Joe's life to you...gahahaha!
O: But Riki-Oh...I know your feelings may be real, but you should give up.
O: That brother you're searching for may have died a long time ago.
R: No. He's alive.

28)
R: I can hear...his heart beating.
R: He isn't far from me.
J: Riki-Oh, your brother...you said his name was Nachi, right?
J: He wouldn't happen to have a swastika tattooed on his right hand, would he?
R: You know him?!

29)
J: Unfortunately, I only know him through rumors.
J: They say that one time in the underground temple, some man named Nachi came along and, with one wave of his hand over their heads, brought two dead fighters back from the dead.
R: Underground temple?
O: Looks like you don't know about that either...
O: Underneath this cape is a huge hall everyone calls the "temple."
O: Every day, they hold a tournament called the "Pankration."
?: That ancient Roman...
O: Yeah. A live fighting show devoid of any rules that forces two people to fight to the death.
O: For the inhabitants of this cape, having lost their future and dreams...a savage, brutal spectacle such as this is their one and only joy.

30)
O: That Nachi guy supposedly always shows up to watch a match around 1:00 am.
R: 1:00 am?
R: What time is it right now?!
O: 12:13.
O: Hey, hey, hold on a second!! You aren't thinking of escaping from here and going to meet your brother just like that, are you?
R: Of course I am.
O: There's a much smoother way to get to the underground temple than that.
R: You can volunteer to become a participant.

31)
O: If a representative like me recommends you, you could be in the ring by tonight.
J: Don't do it, Riki-Oh!!
J: Oniyama just wants to gain the leftovers for himself by becoming your second!!
J: There isn't a single fighter who has gone to the ring and returned aboveground!!
R: I'm more afraid of never meeting my brother than dying a painful death.
J: Riki-Oh...
O: Beheheheh...well, that settles it. The fighter "Riki-Oh" is born!!
O: Come on, I'll lead you to the temple.

33)
O: Alright, we're here.
O: A representative from Lageri, Oniyama, has arrived!!

37)
P: That's it, Bison!! Hurry and kill him!
P: What are you doing, Big Bear?! I placed all my fucking money on you!!
B: UGGHH!!

38)
P: Yeah, yeah!! Cut his head off!!

39)
P: Ugahhh!!

40)
J: So this is the Pankration...
J: Are you really going through with this, Riki-Oh?

41)
R: I'll do anything...if it will allow me to see my brother again!!
