R: Uuu...

R: What?!



42)

R: A...whale!



44)

R: Th...this place!

R: This is an underground lake...!



45)

A: Heeeey, Riki-Ohhh!

R: Akutaaa!

R: Bill!!

R: Are you two alright?

A: We suddenly fell asleep in the flower field, and next thing we knew, we were down here.



46)

B: More importantly, where have you been!?

B: We were worried about you! Not like it matters, but...

A(small): Ahh, he seriously hit him.

B: Wh...what are you staring at me like that for?

B(small top): I...I'm not into weird stuff like that!

B(small bottom): But if you just want a little, then...

R: Bill, what happened to your left eye?!

B: Hm?

B: My eye?

B: Oh yeah, gramps over there healed my eye for me! Aha, aha!



47)

Y: Just hold on. I'll fish you all some too.



48)

B(2b): He's a weird old guy. Somehow, just with his hands, we was able to fix my eye.

R: Just with his hands?!

B: He says his name's Yona.

B: Apparently he's been living here ever since the crown prince of Africa was assassinated by a Serb.

R: 1914! That's the year the first World War started, over 80 years ago...!?

Y: It's not that surprising. That thing's been living here even a hundred years before I came.



49)

Y: That scar on his back is a relic from a huge whale hunt around the turn of the century.

Y: Hey there, young one. Would you mind taking over for me while I go gather some more firewood?

A: Sure, grandpa, I'll take over for you!



50)

A: Wah!

Y: Hohoho! If you think of it as a small stick, you'll sink. But if you think of it as a boat, you won't.

R: Eh?

Y(2b): Yup. The same reason why your special technique didn't work on Mukai.

Y: You weren't blown away from the "ki" Mukai released, but rather from yourself.



51)

Y: "Ki" isn't a power that can blow others away without touching them, except for those who have sharpened their senses through training toward the "ki" itself.

R: Sharpened their senses?!

R: That's right. Master Chou Zenki told me that I should never use the Soushousen (Kantsuu Reppa) if my heart isn't absolutely clear.

R: At that moment, I had felt fear towards Mukai, but still forced myself to use the Soushousen. Mukai simply released enough "ki" to bounce it back toward me and blow me away with my own power.



52)

Y: You didn't lose to Mukai. You lost to the "Mukai in your heart."

R: The Mukai in my heart?!

Y: You truly hate Mukai, and have built him up as a terribly powerful, frightening Mukai within your heart.

Y: On top of that, from the moment you started fighting with him, you were bound by that image you created, effectively halvening the total power you had waiting to unleash upon him.

Y: Hm? I got a bite.

Y(2b): Hohoho, look, I got something. Seems like this is a big one.

A: Gramps, there's no fish on there. It must've run away!



53)

Y: Hohoho...can you see this fish?

Y: Hohoho. If you can't, then you'll never be able to beat Mukai.

B(2b): He's a good guy, but the stuff he says doesn't make any sense. I'd just ignore him if I were you.

Y: Shall I let it go free, then?



54)

Y: Hohoho, seems like you finally saw it.

Y: Then it looks like you may have a small chance of beating Mukai after all.

R: Yona....just who are you?

R: Why have you been here in Antarctica for 80 years...?

Y: Hohoho...me, huh? I am a human that was hurt by God.

R: By God....!?

M: I am God...

R: Wait, did you and Mukai...?

Y: Mukai and I...



55)

Y: Mukai and I are the descendants from the 2700-year old "Bloodline of God's Chosen Ones." I fought with Mukai for the "Throne of God," lost, and fell down here.

R: Bloodline of God's Chosen Ones....



56)

B: What are you doing, Riki-Oh?

B: You trying out Zen meditation, all of a sudden? What an idiot!



57)

B: Haah, alright, alright, I admit it, you've done well! You haven't eaten or drank for three days already!



58)

M: I am God.

M: No one can defeat me.

R: Mukaiiii...



59)

R:: An illusion...?

Y: You just won against the Mukai in your heart.

Y: There is nothing more for you to be afraid of. Use all that power you have waiting inside to defeat Mukai.



60)

R: Yona...

Y: Come out, big fish!

Y: And take this young one to Mukai!!



61)

Y: Go, Riki-Oh....

Y: To Mukai!!
