Panel 1
A ship is steaming away from the docks
ＢＡＴＴＬＥ７６
無拍子の一撃！
Battle 76
The zero beat attack!

Panel 2
Kenichi is stand less than arms length from Siegfried, arms extended, elbows slightly bent, fingertips touching Siegfried's chest
白浜兼一　小さく前にならえ‼
Kenichi: Line - Up!

Panel 3
ジークフリート　……なんのつもりか知りませんが、
ジークフリート　小細工なら私には通用しませんよ！
Siegfried: I don't know what you're planning,
Siegfried: but I'm not well informed about tricks!

Panel 4
Kenichi remembers how Siegfried rolls with the punches
白浜兼一　ゴク…
白浜兼一（思い）　すべての攻撃の軸をずらし、かわしてしまう相手…
白浜兼一（思い）　こうなったら練習の時に一度だけ成功した、あの突きしかない！
Kenichi: Very... Ah...
Kenichi (thought): An opponent who shifts his axis and dodges every attack...
Kenichi (thought): If it's that's the way it is, there's nothing to do but that attack which I succeeded with, one time in practice!

Page 2
Panel 1
Flashback to training at Ryouzampaku - Kenichi is practicing some sort of slashing jujitsu move as Kouetsuji looks on
白浜兼一（思い）　偶然出せたあの突きしか‼
Kenichi (thought) Nothing but that strike I made by chance!!
岬越寺秋雨　うむ、それを１０００本やったら次は馬の中国拳法の時間だ‼
Kouetsuji: Hm, after you do that 1000 times, it's time for Ba's Chinese Kempo!!
白浜兼一　エイ！
Kenichi: Aye!

Panel 2
白浜兼一　岬越寺師匠〰〰ボク思うんですけど！
Kenichi: Master Kouetsuji... I was thinking!
岬越寺秋雨　何かね？
Kouetsuji: About what?

Panel 3
白浜兼一　空手に中国拳法、ムエタイ、柔術……こんなにたくさんの武術…
白浜兼一　一度にやってちゃんと身になるものでしょうか？
Kenichi: Karate, Chinese Kempo, Muay Thai, Jujitsu... so many martial arts...
Kenichi: If I do them all at once, will it become something of my own?

Panel 4
岬越寺秋雨　してみせる‼
Kouetsuji: Show me!! See for yourself!!

Page 3
Panel 1
There's a little cartoon of someone falling off a cliff labeled Ryouzampaku toward the waiting masters, horned versions of Ba, Sakaki and Apachai
白浜兼一　し、しかしですねえ…一つの武術を修得するだけでも大変なのに…
Kenichi: Bu...but... just learning one martial art is so difficult...
岬越寺秋雨　きみは勇気ともって梁山泊というガケに一歩を踏み出した。その時点でもう道は一つ…
Kouetsuji: You bravely stepped over the cliff called Ryouzampaku. At that time you only had one path...
梁山泊
Ryouzampaku
達人
Masters
岬越寺秋雨　達人の世界へむかってどこまでも落ちるのみ‼
Kouetsuji: You couldn't help but fall into the world of masters!!

Panel 2
白浜兼一　落ちるんですか？登るんじゃなく？
Kenichi: Falling? Not climbing?
岬越寺秋雨　登るとは途中でやめられる時に用いる言葉。
Kenichi: Climbing is the word you use when you stop halfway.

Panel 3
岬越寺秋雨　我々にまかせた以上、
岬越寺秋雨　中途半端は存在しない！
岬越寺秋雨　たとえ途中で死ぬことはあっても修得しないことはない‼
Kouetsuji: When things are left to us,
Kouetsuji: there will be no half measures!
Kouetsuji: Even if you die along the way, there is nothing you won't learn!!

Panel 4
白浜兼一　うっぴ〰〰
Kenichi: Uh-oh...

Panel 5
Ba is trying to get an upskirt shot of Shigure, dodging her sword stabs
馬剣星　いいかね兼ちゃん、
馬剣星　中国人はなんでも混ぜるね。
Ba: That's good, Ken-chan,
Ba: The Chinese blend everything.


Panel 6
The sword goes through Ba's hat, but he's ducked low enough to avoid the blow
馬剣星　そして新たな漢方や武術を生んできたね！
Ba: That's the way new medicines and martial arts are born!

Page 4
Panel 1
長老　うむ、そういえば……
長老　昔、修験者もケガをして薬のない時は、なんでもよいから毒のない葉を７枚選んでキズにあてたと聞く。
Eldest: Mm-hm, speaking of that...
Eldest: I heard that a long time ago, when a mountain hermit had no medicine for his wounds, since there was nothing better, he chose 7 leaves without poison and applied them to his wounds.
白浜兼一　あっ長老…
Kenichi: Oh, Eldest...
馬剣星（手書き）　おいちゃんの番はまた？
Ba (handwritten): Is it my turn again?

Panel 2
長老　効能があるものもあれば無いものもあったじゃろう。
長老　じゃが混ぜるということには………
Eldest: There were probably things that were effective, and things that weren't.
Eldest: But since he mixed them...

Panel 3
長老　今まで存在しなかったものを作り出すという可能性があるのじゃよ‼
Eldest: It's likely that he made something that had never existed before!!

Panel 4
Kenichi is standing next to a rope-wrapped post, which Sakaki uses for punching practice
白浜兼一（思い）　なるへそ………
Kenichi: I see...
馬剣星（手書き）　ゆえおいちゃんの番は？
Ba (handwritten): So is it my turn?

Panel 5
白浜兼一（思い）　待てよ…もし今まで教わってきたそれぞれの武術の特徴を、
白浜兼一（思い）　すべて合わせて打ったらどんな突きになるんだろう！？
Kenichi (thought): Wait... if I take the feature of the martial arts I've learned up to now,
Kenichi (thought): and join them all together, what kind of an attack will it be!?
馬剣星（手書き）　お〰いね
Ba (handwritten): Hey!

Page 5
Panel 1
Back to the present
白浜兼一（思い）　やってみよう‼
Kenichi (thought): I'll try it!!

Panel 2
ジークフリート　どうしました？突いてごらんなさい。
Siegfried: What happened? Try hitting me.

Panel 3
白浜兼一　ゴク…
Kenichi: Very... Ah...

Panel 4
ジークフリート　フッ…超近距離から突きを打てば軸をずらせないと考えましたね？
ジークフリート　面白いですが甘いです！コン・ブラヴーラ（巧妙に熟練をもって）にずらし、しかるのちカウンターであなたは沈むことでしょう‼
Siegfried: Hm... are you thinking that if you strike from very close range, I won't be able to shift my axis?
Siegfried: That's interesting but naive! I'll move con bravura (with ingenious skill), and then knock you down with a counter!!

Panel 5
Miu rounds the corner
風林寺美羽　兼一さん大丈夫ですか？
Miu: Kenichi-san, are you OK?

Panel 5
風林寺美羽　‼
Miu: !!

Page 6
Panel 1
白浜兼一（思い）　やるしかない‼
白浜兼一（思い）　勝負‼
Kenichi (thought): There's nothing left but doing it!!
Kenichi (thought): Win or lose!!

Panel 2
Memories of Sakaki
逆鬼至緒　もっと引き手を意識しろ‼
逆鬼至緒　空手の突きってのは突き手と引き手が背中ごしに滑車でつながってるみてーに同時に打つんだ‼
Sakaki: Pay more attention to your off hand!!
Sakaki: In a karate punch, the punching hand and the off hand move at the same time as if connected behind the back through a pulley!!

Panel 3
Memories of Ba
馬剣星　もっと力を抜くね。のびやかに遠くへ！力は突き出す方向だけね！あとはゼロ‼
Ba: Draw out your power further. Send it off into the distance! Power is only in the direction of the strike! Behind that is nothing!
白浜兼一　うわっ‼
Kenichi: Wah!!
馬剣星　手が抜けて飛んで行ってしまう気持ちで脳のリミッターを外すね‼
Ba: Surpass the limits of your mind with the feeling of sending your hand flying out!!!

Page 7
Kenichi begins his blow
Panel 2
Memories of Kouetsuji - there is a weight depicted atop a stick-figure cube, which collapses against a barrier
岬越寺秋雨　柔術の手刀はもともと剣術の重心移動からきている！そう、平行四辺形をつぶす動きだ！
Kouetsuji: Jujitsu's knife-hand was originally came from kendo's shifting of the center of gravity! Like this, the movement of a collapsing cube diamond!
重
weight
白浜兼一（手書き）　お〰
Kenichi: Oh...
岬越寺秋雨　刀で人を斬る時、腕の力だけでは着物一つ断つことはできない。体重を相手に乗せる必要があるのだ！
Kouetsuji: When a sword cuts a person, the arms' power alone is not enough to cut even one kimono. It is necessary to throw your body weight into your opponent!

Kenichi hits Siegfried in the midsection

Panel 4
Memories of Apachai
アパチャイ・ホパチャイ　アパ！ムエタイはスポーツじゃないよ。戦場で兵隊さんがホクホク生きのびるためのものよ。
アパチャイ・ホパチャイ　だからアパチャイのお師匠さん、いつも言ってたよ…
Apachai: Apa! Muay Thai isn't a sport. It's for helping a soldier survive on the battlefield.
Apachai: Therefore, like Apachai's master always said...

Page 8-9
アパチャイ・ホパチャイ　敵は打ち抜く気で打つよおお‼
Apachai: Hit the enemy as if you were punching through him!!
白浜兼一　破っ‼‼
Kenichi: Explosive!!!! Ha!!!!

Page 10
Panel 1
Siegfried tries to analyze the move
ジークフリート　軸をずらさねば‼
Siegfried: I have to shift my axis!!

Panel 2
ジークフリート　速い…！いったいこの突きのリズムは何拍子だ？
Siegfried: Fast...!!! How many beats could this rhythm be?

Panel 3
ジークフリート　２拍子？１拍子？いや、これは………
Siegfried: 2 beats? 1 beat? No, this is...

Panel 4
ジークフリート　無拍子？‼
Siegfried: No beats?!!

He's forced back 3 or 4 yards/meters, but is still standing

Panel 7
ジークフリート　………ニヤリ。
Siegfried: ...Nice.

Panel 8
to Kenichi's amazement
白浜兼一　何！？
Kenichi: What!?

Page 11
Back at Ryouzampaku

Panel 2
逆鬼至緒　オレ達の技が、兼一の中で結晶になる頃…か。
逆鬼至緒　そういやぁ、一度だけいい突きを打ち出したことがあったっけ。
Sakaki: So it's coming to the time when our techniques will crystallize in Kenichi?
Sakaki: Speaking of that, wasn't there one time when he struck with a good punch?

Panel 3
Sakaki is remembering the blow Kenichi used, that one time. Memories of the rope-wrapped post being broken
逆鬼至緒　へへっ、あのヤローえらい喜んでみんなを呼んでたなーー
Sakaki: He heh, that rascal called out to everyone with great joy...
岬越寺秋雨　巻きワラが折れたのが嬉しくてしょうがなかったのだろう。
Kouetsuji: There was nothing for it but to show off that he had broken the striking post.
白浜兼一　折れたーっ！見てくださいカンペキっしょーー！
Kenichi: It broke! Look, look, isn't it perfect!
逆鬼至緒　あーーその巻きワラだいぶ使いこんでたからなーー
Sakaki: Oh, it's probably because I've been using that striking post a lot...
馬剣星（手書き）　おいちゃんの時間ね
Ba (handwritten): It's my turn, right?
香坂しぐれ（手書き）　そんな…ことが…
Shigure (handwritten): That kind of... thing...

Panel 4
逆鬼至緒　あんときゃーーもうちょっとほめときゃよかったかな〰〰
Sakaki: Back then... should we have praised him a little more?
長老　べつに死んだわけじゃないんじゃから、帰ってきたらほめてやりなさい。
Eldest: Not at all, since it's not a matter of him dying, praise him after he comes back.

Panel 5
岬越寺秋雨　諸君、もう少し落ち着きたまえ。
岬越寺秋雨　みっともない！
Kouetsuji: Gentlemen, calm down.
Kouetsuji: This is shameful!
馬剣星　あれ！？秋雨、漢字間違ってるね。
Ba: Hey!? Akisame, you got a kanji wrong.

Panel 6
岬越寺秋雨　なに！？本当？
Kouetsuji: What!? Really?
馬剣星　ウソね。
Ba: I lied.
岬越寺秋雨　謀ったな剣星‼
Kouetsuji: You took me in, Kensei!!

Page 12
Panel 2
風林寺美羽　あ、あの突きは…
Miu: Oh, that blow...

Panel 3
ジークフリート　素晴らしく速い突きでした。しかも重心の移動で威力を増すとは…
Siegfried: That was a wonderful fast blow. Moreover, adding to the power by shifting your weight...

Siegfried's eyes open wide

Panel 5
and he starts to collapse, spitting out blood, as Miu races to catch him
風林寺美羽　い、いけないですわ！
Miu: It's hopeless!
ジークフリート　完敗です……ぶぐぁあああ‼‼
Siegfried: is my complete defeat... Boogwah!!!!
白浜兼一　ぎゃあああ‼？
Kenichi: Gyah!!?

Page 13
Panel 1
ジークフリート　ああ、メロディーが聞こえます。
ジークフリート　美しいメロディーが………
Siegfried: Oh, I can hear a melody.
Siegfried: A beautiful melody...

Panel 2
風林寺美羽　はっ…兼一さん！一般人になんて突きを‼
風林寺美羽　……
Miu: Huh... Kenichi-san! Using that blow on an ordinary person!!
Miu: ...

Panel 3
風林寺美羽　ホッ…大丈夫、命に別条ありませんわ。
Miu: Ho... it's fine, there's nothing odd in his life signs.
風林寺美羽　かなりギリギリですけど。
Miu: It was very close, though.
白浜兼一　手加減できる相手じゃなかったんです！
Kenichi: He wasn't someone I could go easy on!

Panel 4
風林寺美羽　そうですわ！この方はまかせて兼一さんは早く新島さんを‼
Miu: That's it! Leave him to me, and you quickly find Niijima-san!!
風林寺美羽　乗せた船を聞きだす前にこの方をのしてしまった以上、しらみつぶしに捜しませんと…
Miu: Since you knocked him out before asking which ship he was put on, if you search thoroughly...
白浜兼一　ぎゃーっ！そうだった、本来の目的を忘れていた‼
Kenichi: Gyah! That's right, I lost sight of our original goal!!

Panel 5
Kenichi runs off as Miu kneels next to Siegfried
白浜兼一　すいません、ボク、捜してみます‼
Kenichi: Sorry, I'll go look!!
風林寺美羽　事情を話して出航を待ってもらうんです‼
Miu: Tell the situation and ask them to delay their departure!!

Panel 6
白浜兼一　新島…‼くさっても悪友だ！待っていろ‼
Kenichi: Niijima!! Even though you are rotten, you're my bad friend! Wait!!

Page 14
Panel 1
Kenichi gets to the dock, but there's nothing there
‼
!!

Panel 2
白浜兼一　い…一隻もいない…
白浜兼一　は…ははは…すまん悪友…
Kenichi: Th... there isn't even one ship...
Kenichi: Ha... ha ha ha... sorry, bad friend...

Panel 3
白浜兼一　新島春男〰〰
白浜兼一　さよ〰なら〰〰っ‼
Kenichi: Niijima Haruo...
Kenichi: Good bye!!

Panel 4
The ship at sea...

Inside the hold...

Niijima is laughing

Panel 3
He is clothed in a print leotard, with white gloves and boots, holding a ham in one hand, and a bottle of wine in the other, with open - and empty - tins of caviar, crab meat, and oysters(?) in front of him, sitting on sacks - one labelled chocolate, another raisins, with a slab of cheese, grapes, apples, and bags of potato chips nearby. There are also a couple of rats by his feet

新島春男（手書き）　高級品だらけだ！
新島春男　いやもうこうなったらどっかに着くまで密航ライフをエンジョイしまくってやろう‼
Niijima: There's nothing to be done about the departure... there is food, drink, and even clothes that feel nice on this freighter...
Niijima (handwritten): It's full of high-class goods!
Niijima: No, if it's already like this, wherever I end up, I'll enjoy the life of a smuggler!!

Page 16
Panel 1
Niijima gives the cheese to the rats, remembering how they chewed through the ropes
新島春男　よう兄弟、縄を噛み切ってくれた礼だぜ、どんどんやってくれ‼
新島春男（手書き）　おお〰
新島春男（手書き）　そうだかみきれ礼をする！
Hey, brother, this is for gnawing through the ropes!
Niijima: Oh...
Niijima, that's right, thanks for gnawing!

Panel 2
He starts rummaging through a crate
新島春男　さーーて、この箱の中身はなんじゃらほい。
新島春男　うっひょ〰〰オレ様好みのおもちゃ発見！
Niijima, Well, let's take a look at the contents of this crate.
Niijima: Wow... I found a toy to my liking!

Panel 3
Outside the hold, a pair of sailors - one black, one white - are talking
黒人船員　どうしたジョニー？
Black sailor: What's up, Johnny?
ジョニー　いや、さっきから貨物室の中で怪しげな声が…
Johnny: Well, I heard a strange voice in the hold a while ago...

Panel 4
The black sailor grabs the hatch handle...
黒人船員　薄気味悪いこと言うなよ。誰もここにはいないはずだぜ。
Black sailor: Don't say weird stuff. No one should be in there.
ジョニー（手書き）　いいから開けろよ！
Johnny (handwritten): Just open it up!

Panel 5
and opens it. The sailors peer in...
ジョニー　……
Johnny: ...

The light from the hatch strikes Niijima...

who is holding a toy ray gun in one hand...

Page 17
Panel 1
and a large toy flying saucer above his head with the other
ジョニー　ＯＨ　ＭＹ　ＧＯＤ！
Johnny: OH MY GOD!

Panel 2
The sailors race out of the hold...
黒人船員　宇宙人だ‼大変だ！きっとこの船の乗り組員をアブダクトする気だあー‼
Black sailor: An alien!! It's terrible! I'm certain that he's going to abduct everyone aboard!!

Panel 3
with Niijima right behind them
新島春男　アバビビピピ〰〰
Niijima: Ababibipipi...

Panel 2
Loki is leaning against a pole supporting the shelter, while Number 20 runs up to report. Another man in a white suit is standing in front of the shelter
２０号　ロキ様〰〰っ大変ですぅ‼
Number 20: Loki-sama... it's terrible!!

Panel 3
Number 20 doesn't look so good
ロキ　バカな‼ジークフリートがやられただと‼？
Loki: Shoot!! Siegfried was defeated!!?
２０号　あたいもやられた〰〰胸のでっかい娘にぃ〰〰
Number 20: I was beaten, too... by some big-chested girl girl with big bosoms...

Panel 4
The man in white cleans his glasses
第一拳豪　へえ…
First Fist: Huh...

Panel 5
and puts them back on. We see he is wearing the gloves of the Eight Fists, with the roman numeral I on the back - he's the hitherto unseen First Fist
第一拳豪　どうしたんだいロキ？キミらしくもない。
第一拳豪　敵の実力を見誤るなんて……何て名前だい、その斬り込み隊長？
First Fist: What happened, Loki? This isn't like you.
First Fist: Misreading an enemy's strength, or whatever... What's his name, this assault commander?

Panel 6
ロキ　白浜兼一さ！くそ…とんでもない奴だ。
ロキ　オレの読みをことごとくくつがえすとは。
Loki: Shirahama Kenichi! Shit... he's an unbelievable guy.

Back at Ryouzampaku...

Panel 2
Kouetsuji is reading the newspaper - the picture on the front page, under the headline, shows a ship run aground
岬越寺秋雨　う〰〰ん新聞に密航の記事はないな〰〰（手書き）変な記事ばかりだ
Kouetsuji: Hm... There isn't any article in the newspaper about stowaways... (handwritten) Just strange articles
新聞の大見出し　宇宙人に貨物船乗っ取られ座礁
Newspaper headline: Freighter Hijacked by Alien, Runs Aground

Panel 3
岬越寺秋雨　敵は倒したが友人は救えなかったというのはつらかろう。
Kouetsuji: Defeating your enemy, but not being able to save your friend is rough.
逆鬼至緒　ほらみろ、オレも行くべきだったんだよ！じきに船員から通報が来るだろーけどよ！
Sakaki: Hey, look, I should have gone, too! I would have been able to find out from the sailors what was going on!
白浜兼一　早めに警察に連絡したほうがいいでしょうか？
Kenichi: Shouldn't we hurry up and report it to the police?
馬剣星　なになに？宇宙人が三時間にわたって船を操縦、港へ逆走……おいちゃん、こういうの大好きね♡
Ba: What, what? An alien controlled a ship for three hours, and ran it back into the harbor... that's the kind of thing I like!

Panel 4
Apachai is holding a seagull
カモメ
Seagull
アパチャイ・ホパチャイ　このジョナサンが朝、海岸で新島っぽい物を見たって言ってるよ！
Apachai: This Jonathan says he saw something that looked like Niijima on the beach this morning!
白浜兼一　本当ですか！？
Kenichi: Really!?

Panel 5
Niijima is on a beach, holding his head and looking around in confusion
新島春男　こ…ここはどこだ？
新島春男　いてて…頭が割れそうだ…竜宮城へ行った夢を見てたぜ……
Niijima: Wh... where am I?
Niijima: Ow, ow... my head is splitting... I dreamed that I went to the Dragon's Palace...
新島、自力で帰還。
Niijima, through his own deeds, came back.
