p.1
[1] It's dark...... / An all-consuming darkness...

p.2-3
[1] There's no right nor left... A unity that exceeds symmetry... / So this is "nothingness"... / "Nothingness," the pinnacle of order---... / Order imposed upon all living things... / In other words, "Death"---... / Was this what I was seeking?
** T/N: "I" is written "Shinigami" here, imposing a double entendre - Kidd seeking order, a Death God seeking death

p.4
[1] Kill...
[2] Eliminate everything in this world----... / That's the "Order" a Shinigami should protect.
[Title] Chapter 73: Salvage Part 2

p.5

Note to TS: Leave the kanji, replace the furi with the above
[2] That's the insanity within you... / What do you think, little fragment...!?

[2] PUNI*
* squish
[3] Black * Star......!! / Your chest is rubbing up against me...
[4] So Maka is a solemn young man... Soul is a bossy little princess... Black * Star is a naive girl... and Tsubaki's getting pushed around by Black * Star, same as ever, huh?
** T/N: The phrase translated as 'pushed around' is lit. 'swung around' in the original, which is another double entendre since Tsubaki's a weapon
[5] Surprisingly, the two of us ain't any different, huh...

p.9
[1] But somehow... I feel like I got way dumber than when I was a girl / I realized that after becoming a guy... I'm only thinkin' about dumb shit, forreal.

[4] So after appetite for sex, it's appetite for food... / So Eibon must be the type to like things like those "no-panty shabu-shabu" joints...
** T/N: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-pan_kissa
[5] Outdeed / Indeed** / DON*
** T/N: A play on words; ikanimo means 'indeed' and 'takonimoikanimo' takes ika (=squid) and replaces it with tako (=octopus). Takonimo itself is a nonsense word.
* boom

p.20
[1] More importantly, we've passed Chapter 1, "Lust"... but our bodies haven't returned to normal... / though our personalities and speech patterns have
[2] Of course... Sins must by needs be burdensome... There's no way they'd simply vanish because you've progressed to the next chapter
[3] You should return to normal shortly, but... / The greater your desire, sexual desire, in this case, the more slowly you'll change back...
