* stab
[6] What've they been thinking this whole time, voluntarily going over there to be taken out!! / C'mooo~on, if we're going to get stabbed, it's only natural to want to be sent to heaven on the tip of Kyoushiro-sama's pole, isn't it? / But they're getting stabbed for real!! They're really going to heaven!!
** T/N: One big double entendre. If you don't get it you're too young to be reading this manga.

p.6
[1] And what the hell is up with that host!!? / Seeing our delicate situation, we okama have been refraining from engaging the enemy wherever possible / He's the only one who's going all out!

There've been hosts and okama since that long ago!!? / To think we'd face such a man of legend, the natural enemy of the okama, in a place like this
** T/N: Lit. 'Assfield'
[5] How long have we awaited this moment? / KOOOOO*
* rumble
[6] That stance couldn't be... / Heh... You've miscalculated. That's right... I am your natural enemy, host
[7] Possessing the counterpart of the Divine Sword of the Hosts, Host-Destroyer Kenpou, passed down from father to son / OOOOOOOOOOO* / Kamasen-style** successor... King of Fists Agou!!

* slice / spray
[2] Heh... I... In the end... my curse... To think... you'd cut this accursed chin down... I've been completely defeated / F... For once in my life I haven't a single piece of chin / Haa / No, you've definitely got one!! It's just one piece but it's a super long chin!!
** T/N: Ago, the first part of Agomi, means 'chin'. Complex punnery ensues.
[3] ...Huh? He's right, I'm not cut / How strange, given this blood... / GABA* / Um... Could you please keep playing dead?

p.16
[1] It's a bit rough, but those are the broad strokes, right? / Hmph. I see the conflict between us that's spanned all these years hasn't been just for show, after all / But if you've come for my head you're too late / Those pathetic monkeys are already being crushed, down to the last man. Of course, that includes your daughter, Jirochou.
[2] While I saw through your plan, it's not as though I'm unprepared against any such scheming / Oh, but you are unprepared / Though you knew I was using your daughter, you let her swim free / Even you yourself are dancing to my tune / In order to have me split my forces
[3] under our agreement, I was to lend Pirako some of my men, and you'd take advantage of that moment of unpreparedness, / invade this castle while it was shorthanded, and take my head. That was your intent, was it not?
[4] But I mobilized my men late / It was a good idea to take advantage of that moment, but you used your own men, and your daughter, as fodder
[5] I don't think they're the kind to just meekly allow themselves to be used as fodder / They've come through a lot of conflicts with me over many years
[6] and it's because of them I can have this little rendezvous alone with this beauty, ain't it?
[7] Jirochou / Have you forgotten that I, too, have been in conflict with you over these many years?

p.17
[1] I'll pass on that rendezvous, / but I've gone ahead and prepared a party
[2] Shinra**
** T/N: Lit. 'Dragon Gauze'
[3] You even went so far as to hire a mercenary clan that can stand toe to toe with the Yato Dakini / So you ain't just another gambler after all, sister
[4] ...Jirochou, our long-running feud ends here / This town is mine now...
[5] Or perhaps it'd be more accurate to say that it belongs / to the Harusame Space Pirates' Fourth Division Commander, Kada

p.18
[1] NYARI* / So you finally show your true colors, you demon fox
* grin
[2] What nonsense. You realized it long ago / If you hadn't been here, a town like this would've fallen into my hands as easily as Yoshiwara fell into Housen's
[3] You certainly proved to be quite an obstacle, ground-crawling monkey-thing though you may be / I realize what you've been doing, disguising yourself as some demon, not caring how you appear, all in order to put down deep roots in this town
[4] You did it to protect this town / from us Amanto
[5] Even now more than half the towns in Edo are under Amanto control / However, because you've been expanding your power base and making shows of force, Amanto influence here has been brushed aside
[6] There're two things I learned in the war
[7] The first is that if things keep going the way they've been, you Amanto'll consume this country whole / The second is that I'm totally powerless

p.19
[1] Jirochou... Take care... / ...of her... and of that town
[2] But if there's something you wanna protect / you've gotta change
[3] To win against you all / I shed my humanity
[4] Kada / I dunno about any other town / but don't think you'll take this one so easily
[5] Kukuku... Once you, the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, are dead / what can they possibly do?
[6] Kada... Just where the hell've you been looking the whole time you've been in this town?
[7] Don't underestimate / Kabukichou
