Examurai 6

You know what? I have been losing some of my motivation for translating Examurai as of the past few chapters. It's not been anything awesome, chapters are so long, and my love for EXILE may not suffice to keep me going. When school starts for me again, I *might* consider dropping it. Just advanced notice :|



01
x1: They were the "predators" that floated through space, searching out important stars and sucking them dry of their life energy before moving on to the next
x2: Repeating this endlessly, they lived for time eternal, the most evil race in space

03
x1: My name is "Kaguya"
x2: The former King's daughter...
x3: The former King was unable to bear the guilt he felt because of the unpleasant customs of our race
x4: He did not move on to the next star, choosing instead the "path of destruction" for our entire race
x5a: That... May have been a decision made because of how weak the former King's heart was
x5b: But I approved of that decision
x6: Everyone else, too... There was no-one who opposed that decision
x7: ... However

04
x1: My older brother Byakuya
b1: Hyugoooo
b2a: *gohoh*
b2b: Hyuu
b2c: Your ideology is dangerous, Byakuya...
b2d: Forgive me
b2e: Hyugoo....
b3a: *gohoh*
b3b: Hyuu...
b3c: I will execute you
b4: ...
b5a: My son... Have you any last words?
b5b: Hyuu
b5c: Goo

05
b1a: I've always wanted to try sitting here
b1b: On the "throne"
x1: Brother led just four trusted friends... Into a successful coup d'état
b2a: We are the strongest race, one without rival, and the ones who ought to rule the universe
b2b: All creation exists for us, to become our nutrition!!
b3: Kaguya

06
b1: It's been 800 years since then...!!
b2: Our brethren have all acknowledged me as their king. It is about time for you to do likewise
b3: ...
b4: *glare*
b5: ... I see
b6: In that case, rot and die in that cell
b7: Oh... Almost forgot
b8: I've found my first star, the first of my spoils since becoming king, Kaguya
b9a: It's called "earth"
b9b: A beautiful blue star...!

07
x1: 2718 by the Imperial Calendar
b1a: Gee, Pinotaaa
b1b: You're still collecting junk from the ruins!?
x2: ZIPANG, the country from whence the sun rises
b2: No... No I'm not! This is for my dream...
b3: Dreeeaaam!? (small text: All that junk?)
b4a: Gyahahaha you're as disgusting as ever!
b4b: More importantly, how 'bout ya make our dream come true today, hmm? Just ¥2000'd do
s1: *dokah*
b5: Pl... Please stop it!
b6: Oi, brats! Don't you guys be pullin' such uncool tricks on these streets!
b7: !?
b8a: What didja say, you basta...
b8b: !!!
b9a: Geh
b9b: You guys are...

08
b1: The LDH Vigilante Corps!!!

09
b1: That's right! We're the Ero the Ecchi... (TN: This pun comes from how "L" is pronounced "Eru" in Japanese, which is one letter away from "ero", and "H" is "Eichi", close to "Ecchi")
b2: That ain't right! You tryin' to make us into some sick joke group!!!?
b3: Damn you, Hiro! How many times do I haveta teach ya the right pronunciation before ya remember it!!?
b4: Buuuut...
b5: Shut up!!!
b6a: Listen up!! L-D-H
b6b: Say it!
b7: L... L... D... Ecchi
b8: No!!! L-D-H!!!
b9: ... Umm, those two have gotten away...
b10: What!!?
b11: What the hell? That ain't no reason ta run away~
below b11: Boo... Boo...
b12: Guess that story about how you couldn't even count the number of gangs the LDH Vigilante Corps had crushed with two hands was just a rumour, huh? (small text: Can't help it if they just run away)
below b12: Owowow...
b13: That rumour's sooo exaggerated (small text: You only need one hand!)
b14: Thank you for saving me
b15: Oh, that's nothing!
b16: ... I'm so ashamed... All of you are orphans who put aside the fact that you have no families to patrol the streets daily for everyone's sake...
b17: Not just that, but you're all really strong, and you're all allies of justice, so unlike me...
b18: No, silly, we're no different at all!!
b19: Eh?

10
b1: Every one of us considers everyone in this town in which we were born and raised something akin to family
b2: Thinking "I want to protect them" is normal, no?
b3: The only thing that's different is that our "family" looks kinda big from the outside
b4: Pinota, you wanted to become a "esternaut", didn't you?
b5: It's "astronaut"!
b6: When I was young... I randomly found a board with things about space written on it among the ruins!!
b7a: It said that there's an area called "space" waaaaay up above the sky
b7b: Humans were already commuting to space long ago, and the people who went to space were called "astronauts"

11
b1a: And not only that!! According to this board
b1b: In space, there are creatures called aliens and one of them came to earth, and then
b1c: He joined fingers with an earthling boy, and there was this bright light and then they became friends and he brought that boy on a trip, cycling through the sky
b1d: And so I...! I've been searching the ruins for a way to get to space!!!
b2: Ohh, you sure are passionate
below b1: *kurun*
b3: Hey, Pinota! Did you know that the "L" in "LDH" stands for dream!!?
b4a: It's the "D", the "D"!!!
b4b: "Dream"!!!
b5a: "Love", "Dream", "Happiness"!!!
b6a: In other words, Pinota's dream is also something that the LDH Vigilante Corps wants to protect
b6b: So you gotta pull yourself together and proudly chase that dream!
b6c: See ya~
a1: ... That's right. I ought to look only towards space. No matter how much anyone laughs at me, I...
b7: Hm?
b8: Somehow... The sky looks weird

14
b1: NNGAHHH!!?

15
b1: ... A meteorite...? (small text: First time I'm seeing one)
b2: ... Too weird to be one
b3: It... It's a spaceship!!
b4a: There are aliens in that thing!!
b4b: They've gotta be a friendly bunch, right!? If you join fingers with them, a light will flash and you'll be able to understand each other's hearts
b4c: Ah
b5: It's coming out
s1: *bushuuuuuu...!!*
s2: *pika*
b6: I... I told you! It's finger is flashing!

16
b1: And it-
b2: You... Bastard...
s1: *mooo*
s2: *mooo*

17
s1: *MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
b1: UOOOOOOOOOOH
b2a: Hiro!!!
b2b: ... Kuh
b3: Do it!
b4: Yeah!!
black text running across panel3: UWAAAAAAAAH
b5: Mm. This is indeed the right form the supreme ruler of the universe should take
b6: But... At the rate it's going, it'll drain the star of its energy before we can suck it dry ourselves...
b7: It's been hibernating in "sleep mode" for a really long time, so cut it some slack. Besides...

18
b1: This is practically my royal accession ceremony. All the better if it's flashy
b2a: Hurry, put out the "roots"
b2b: We're gonna wring this star dry of its life energy till not a drop remains
b3: Roger!! Put out the "roots"!!!
s1: Uiiiiii
b4a: We have grown weaker due to the foolish choice made by my predecessor. A single planet like this should cause us little trouble, but...
b4b: How long do those four plan to sleep?
b5: Byakuya-sama!!!

19
b1: Shitenmajin-sama's sleep capsule is being operated by an unknown person (TN: Shitenmajin [四天魔神] Demons of the Four Skies)
b2: They most probably can't wake up for another hundred years...
b3: Bya- Byakuya-sama will be in trouble!!!
b4: The prison...
b5: Kaguya-sama is missing!
b6: In addition, the treasure room has been broken into!
b7: That "secret treasure" of ours...
b8a: ...
b8b: Ku... Kukukuku
b9: Kuhahahahahaha
b10: Byakuya-sama!?
b11: You've gone and done it, hmm?
b12: Kaguya!!
s1: Moo
b13: Guaah
b14: Ugh...
b15: Guh

20
s1a~s1b: Geh
b1a: You earthlings are way too weak!
b1b: You're boring! Struggle more!!!
b2a: You monsters...
b2b: Zeh...
b3a: hah
b3b: Dam... Mit... Our town is... Everyone is... And yet
b3c: We're no match for him...!!
b3d: Hah
b4: DAAAAAMMMIIIIIITTTTT
b5: Time to die yet!?
text around Hiro: Ooooooohhhh
b6: Huh?
b7: "Fuu" (TN: 封 seal)

21
s1a~s1b: Mooo
b1: !!?
s2: ooooooo
b2: Wha- What's going on!!?
b3: !
b4: That's...

23
s1: *step*
b1a: A...
b1b: A girl!?
b2: It's just an impromptu kekkai
b3: So it probably won't hold out for very long
b4: You... Were the one who did that...? That power...
b5: Just who the hell are you...!?
b6a: Your ally
b6b: I don't need to give you my name, do I?
b7: You need only to answer a single question of mine

24
b1: Do you want "power"
b2: To be able to fight those things?
b3: "Power"?
b4: I've come to save you, hime-sama!!
b5: Ogre
b6a: I've been waiting for this moment for so long!
b6b: If we're going to run away, the only chance we'll have is now, while the ship is preparing to land!!! Come, we have to hurry...
b7: We will request for help from the humans of that star
b8: We will search them out, those who have within them the power to stand against Byakuya

25
b1: The seven warriors of the "XILE Tribe"!!!
a1: I... Feel some sort of power from these seven people...
s1: su...
b2: Listen up, alright?
s2: *open*...
b3: "XILE Ring"
b4: Seven rings that will bestow the wearer with a mysterious power
b5: The ring of "flames"
b6: The ring of "thunder"
b7: The ring of "water"
b8: The ring of "wood"
b9: The ring of "steel"
b10: The ring of "wind"
b11: The ring of "beasts"
b12a: However, once you put the ring on, you cannot take it off until you die
b12b: You will become the cursed warriors, the "XILE Tribe"...!!
b13: And you will bear upon your shoulders... The fate of continually fighting to protect the people of this planet... Don these rings only if you are prepared for this

26
b1: Nothing happened
b2: Supopopon
b3: EHHHHH!!?
b4: ...? I don't feel any different
b5: We- Were you even listening to me!!?
b6: If you're not prepared for it, then give it back to me this instant!!!
b7: But we can't take it off anymore, right?
b8a: ...
b8b: AHHHHHH!!!
b9: Oh my god...!!! I totally chose the wrong person... Even the ring isn't activating
b10: The- Then, prepare yourself right now!!
b11: Don't spout nonsense...
above b11: Ehhhh!?
b12: We ain't wanting to fight for anyone else
b13: We're fighting for ourselves!! (TN: Strangely, while the kanji is for "ourselves", the reading is "you")

27
b1: Sorry, lady, but we're first and foremost a band of thugs
b2: We ain't the "Christ", ya know?
b3: !!!
s1: MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
b4: The kekkai!
b5a: That hasn't changed up till now, and it ain't gonna change anytime soon, and we certainly don't have no plans to change it
b5b: We

28-29
b1: We fight for ourselves (TN: again, reading is "you")
b2: For the sake of protecting the things we wanna protect!!! (TN: again, reading is "you" instead of "we")
b3: So things like being prepared to save this planet... We don't have no outrageous ambitions like that...
b4: ...
b5: It's just that

30
b1: It looks like the thing we wanna protect
b2a: Just got a helluva lot bigger!!
b2b: We're gonna protect it just like we always have!! Our "family"!!! (TN: reading is "family" but kanji is "earth")
b3: And so, please do take care of us, Sora!
b4: ?
b5: ... Sora?
b6a: You didn't wanna say it, right? ... Your name
b6b: So I ain't gonna ask
b7: But it's way troublesome if you don't got a name... So I just gave you one

31
b1: You fell from the "sky" like an angel (TN: Sora = sky)
b2: "Sora"
b3: Sound good?
b4: And I'm... Hiro!
b5: Pleased to meet you
b6: Hiro
a1: And that was how... I met everyone---

32
sign in panel 2: Roppongi
b1: JESUS
sign: Roppongi
b2: Why didn't we realize?
b3: Now that I think about it, the reason why Roppongi over here was able to develop into such a metropolis
b4a: Was because the damage it received from stray majinki over these 500 years was extremely little...
b4b: A blind spot

33
b1: "The best place to hide a leaf is in a forest", so "The best place to hide a majinki is in a bunch of people"?
b2: But
b3: How long more you gonna make us wait, huh, Hiro!? (small text: It's already been 5 days!)
b4a: Now, now, Makidai, they do say, "slow and steady wins the race", no?
b4b: Want us to end up with an anion?
s1: mugu mugu
b5: Kakaka well, yeah
b6: But it's also said, "Speak of the devil, and he doth appear"
b7a: He-
b7b: He-
b7c: HEAVY! (small text: I... Can't take this anymore)
b8: !
b9: Uwaaaaaah
b10: Toldja

34
b1a~b1b: Zeh
b2: Sorry to keep you waiting!
b3a: Yeah we waited alright!
b3b: We waited so damn long, you owe us some sake now!!
b4: You still wanna drink?
b5a: Akira, Takahiro
b5b: Long time no see~~!!!

35
b1: Long time no see!!
b2: Yahaaaa!!! Have you been well!!?
b3a: Who are you again?
b3b: ... Ah... The damned fox, damned racoon and damned fhewoifhewkfh, correct? (TN: yep, it was censored)
b4: OI! (small text: He hasn't changed at all!!)
b5: Atsushi, damn you! I'm gonna kill you!!! (small text: whaddaya mean fhewoifhewkfh!)
b6: By the way, Hiro, if Atsushi is here, that means...
b7: You defeated "Raigou", right?
b8: THAT "Raigou"!!?
b9: I knew you could do it, Hiro-san! You're amazing!!!
b10: ...
b11a: ... Well, if you wanna talk about defeating, then yeah I did do that...
b11b: His armor, I mean...!
b12: ... Eh!?
b13: It appears that Raigou was originally modified into a weapon by Byakuya in the first place
s1: *poripori*
b14a: Th... Then its real body is still alive somewh...
b14b: Hm?
s2: Goaaaaaahh

36
s1, s2: Goah
b1: !!!
b2: "BABY RAIGOU"!!!
b3: Cu... Cute
s3, s4: Goah
b4: Everyone, please step aside
b5: !!?
b6: O- Oi, Atsushi!
b7a: Wahahaha he's gotten so close to Atsushi over these 500 years!
b7b: Though Atsushi himself kinda hates it
s5: Pariparipari
next to b8: Please let go
b8: ... He looks soooo happy
b9: Well, he is a thunder-class majinki after all

37
b1: More importantly, Makidai, did you find out the location of Jigokujou?
b2a: That's a stupid question, Hiro-san
b2b: Since he'd been waiting there for so long just now, it must mean he'd found it long ago!
b3: I didn't even search!!
b4: EHHHHHH!?
above makidai's head: Ah... Ah...
b5: yussa yussa
b6a: WHY!? WHYYYY!!?
b7: You had so much time to do so!!!
b8: Hahaha well, I did try
b9: LIAR!
b10: Have I ever lied before?
b11: You just restarted your count, didn't you!!?
b12: ...
b13: What do you mean, Makidai?
b14a: ... The sun is about to set
b14b: Look at the sky over there, Hiro
b15: The sky?
b16: !

38
b1: ... Oh... Oh... This is...!
b2: Happens every night
b3: ... That's right, I didn't even have to search for it
b4: It's already saying, "Welcome"!

39
b1: Well gee, Byakuya's pretty considerate!
b2: It's gotta be a trap!!!
b3: Indeed... However
b4: We don't care! We gonna just bash our way in there!!!
b5: ...
b6: ... I suppose. Still, be careful
b7: Brother... Byakuya has those guys with him...!!
b8: A band of four majinki that possess the power to defeat a whole army, the creme de la creme of majinki
b9: The "Shitenmajin"...!!
b10a: ... Well done for coming this far with the "hints" I dropped
b10b: With this, it appears that

40-41
b1: The ultimate stage has been set

42
b1a: We were sleeping 500 years ago, so this time!
b1b: This time we can go all out to our hearts' contents, right, Boss!!?
b1c: Right!?
b1d: RIGHT!!?
b2: But~~ Why did you purposely give the enemy hints!?
b3: I don't get it at all~
b4a: You're such a kid
b4b: Byakuya-sama has a plan <3
b5: Right, Byakuya-samaaa~n? <3
b6: It's just an act. "The fated rival", "The ultimate decider"
b7: A show has got to be dramatic
b8: Wouldn't you agree, Andrei?
b9: Certainly!
b10a: Now...
b10b: The preparations are complete

43
b1: Come quickly!
b2: XILE Tribe!
b3: Pheeeeew...

44-45
b1: Here we go intoooo
a1: Now, towards the final battle!!
b2: JIGOKUJOU!!!
