02
-You took out 3 of my boys
-It's about time I stop taking you lightly...and handle you myself!

bold: The destined clash has finally begun!

03
-That's it! Give me all you got!

04
-Eat this!

05
sfx bub: Grab

06
-Good, good!...I can tell you're serious!

-But if you can't do better than that, you'll never defeat me

07
can: Fwoooo

-Huh!? Something's off...it's not like when he normally absorbs "Greed"...
-But--!

08
-You're too slow!
sfx bubs: paki (not sure, maybe like the sound a balloon makes)

09
-Kuh!

-As long as you insist on fighting to protect this town,
-You'll never have what it takes to stand up to me!

10-11 pwn'd

12
-You were no big deal after all...

-Oh...your weakness is sunlight, huh
-...that's why...

13
-Way to go, Ace-sama!
-Hurry and finish him off!

-No thanks
-If he isn't in top form, it's meaningless to me
-Huh?

-Heh!

-Let's roll!
-Y-yessir!

14
-whimper x2

-whimper x2

-WOOF x4

15
-A few days later

16
-Man! Why hasn't Spray King shown himself recently?
-Um, Miu-chan? About that...
-I heard a rumor that King was found around here beaten up pretty badly
-Hmm...well, that's what you get for fighting
-Well yes, but the thing is...

-What!?
-Spray King...lost!?

17
-H-hey, you kids!
-Watch out! People are getting riled up for no reason around here!
-You'd better go home before you get mixed up with them!

-Can it, ya moron!
-shuuuu
-Uwa!! What are you--

sfx bubs - Gawa x2

-U-UWAAAAAA
-FIND SPRAY KING!
-He's wounded!
-He has to be around here! After him!
-Where are you hiding, friggin' vandal!

-Ehehe! What a pack of morons!
-Letting us set them berserk...!
-You said it!
-If we turn this ward upside-down, Ace-sama is sure to praise us!

18
-But if we really want Ace-sama's recognition,
-we'll need to take King's head!

-With those wounds, he couldn't have gone far...

19
-W-what's going on here!?
-Since when was this section of the city so violent?
-If only we had a guy with us, like Tora-kun...
-He, uh, wouldn't be any help...

-Whimper x2

-Hey, little guy! Why are you here?
-Weren't you with Tora?
---Hey, Miu-chan, that's--!!

-King's spray can!?

-Where did you find it!?
-Hey, wait up!!

20
-Are you awake, child?

-You must be
-the rumored Spray King, right?

-This entire ward is in an uproar trying to find the injured Spray King, so I guessed you must be him
-...
-Why...did you rescue me...

-As long as you insist on fighting to protect this town,
-You'll never have what it takes to stand up to me!
-You don't want to get involved with me

21
-I sense that you feel lost, my child
-And that feeling probably led to the wounds you bear right now...

-I have been blind from birth
-But I was blessed to be able to see into people's hearts

-When people are lost, they come to this church to rediscover their way
-Until you do, I'll protect you. So please, rest up.

22
-Eh?!
-Spray King isn't here??

-I'm sorry...but I have heard the rumors
-Oh...I see...
dog: BIKU (fear? shock? dunno...)

-W-well, if you do learn anything, could you please contact us?
-We're worried about him, hearing he was wounded and all...
-Huh?

-If he's not here, he's not here!
-We're leaving! (<-this is one bubble)
-W-wait...

-You people aren't searching for Spray King
-to harm him, are you?

23
-Well, sure we're searching for him, but...
-We don't see him as a petty vandalist

-There's something he's fighting for that none of us know about
-Not to mention we owe our lives to him!

-Is that right? I, too, got that sense of him
-My "eyes" saw no corruption in him...

-Hmm? And what does that mean??
-Sounds like you might know something!!
-Ah...n-not at all...

24
-Yeah, hurry up an' tell us!
-Or die!

-W-Where did you two come from!?
-Ehehe...us? We're...

-Ace-sama's personal servants, The Rat Brothers--!!

25
-What--!?
-YO, KING! GET OUT HERE!

-Got your arse handed to you by Ace, and now you're a pathetic coward!?
-Ehehe...Who else is going to stop the citizens we drove berserk?

-So King actually did lose...?
-...but what do they mean by driving citizens berserk?

-Stop it! You are in the House of God! Watch your tongue!
-Haa?

26
-Shut your trap, sister!

-We don't care if you're a nun or not,
-we'll kill you and find King ourselves if you don't cooperate!
-This is your last chance!

-Okay. Please follow me...
-That's what you should've done in the first place!
-'Zactly!

-N-no---!

27
sfx bub - Creeak

-Please get out.

-Haah!?! You screwing with us!?
-We said, bring us King!

-I refuse! I'll never yield to those given to violence!
-NEVER!

--That's IT! We're gonna use you guys to teach King a lesson!
-Eeek! Stop it!

-So, what kinda lesson we gonna teach, bro?
-Kuh...
-Heh! Ain't it obvious?

28
-Ehehe!
-Burn King and his buddies to a crisp!

-Those guys are insane!!
-What do we do!? We're completely surrounded by flames!

-I have to do something, fast!
-But I'm losing consciousness...

29
-At the very least, please save those two!
-I want to help them...

-...even if that costs me my life

-Oh, Lord
-Please...hear my prayer

30

31
-Ehehe...about time,
-brother!

-I'm no brother to you!
-Don't you guys have any shame!?

-Hah! We only care about becoming the next "Brothers"
---Thanks to you opening up those empty spots!!

-Kuh!!

32
-Did you think you could beat us with those wounds!?

-Don't underestimate us, King

-Sure, we're no match for Ace-sama alone...
-BUT! Together, we're just as strong as him!
-No...even stronger!!

33
-You're as good as dead!

-koooo x2

-paki x2

-Ehehe! See this, King? It's Ace-sama's trademark technique!
-haa x3
-paki x2
-The other brothers are too weak to use it! Only we can!!

-FWOOOOO

-That sound...a new move he was trying to pull when he fought Ace...!?
-But with Ace's very own technique, there's no way we can lose!

34
-You, stronger than Ace? Peh! Don't make me laugh!

-What!? He can use it too!?
-Wait...it's...different!?

-Shit! Don't chicken out, he's bluffing!
-Yeah, I know!

35
-What IS that!? His graffiti is circling him, deflecting all attacks!?

-But it's only good for defense!
-That's not enough to beat u--

36-37
-YOUR "COLOR" IS ALL WASHED OUT!
-Gu--GUWAAAAAA

-Ggh...haa...
sfx bub - kuru (shaking?)

38-39 pure pwnage

40
-When you see Ace, tell him for me:
-Look forward to the real showdown!

-Kuh...since when...were you...this st...-rong...
-haa x2
-S-s-...shit!!

-Huh....?

41
-Thank you for rescuing me
-...But I'm very sorry.
-Because you got involved with me, the church was destroyed...

-Not at all...To me, my eyes, this event...
-Everything are but trials the Lord has given me to overcome

-That crystal-clear faith of yours
-is what's enabled you to help countless lives...
-Oh, no...it's nothing compared to what you've done

42
-And speaking of which,
-That Graffiti you painted...I don't sense any ounce of hesitation from it
-Y-you can see it?!

-...yes!
-With my mind's eye, I can see your unwavering conviction!

-I have you to thank for that

-...Teaching me all over again what it means to have confidence for what I believe in

43
-The next day...
-"Kaso"
-"Engulfed in a flame that never dies, a rat with the ability to endure even the fiercest of infernos"
----is what it says.
(t/n - a fire rat of chinese legend. i can't find any english references on it, but here's the japanese wiki for anyone who wants it: click here.)

-Oh, so that's what it stood for
---Hey, wait!! I missed yet another chance to film him!

-Well even if I did, he'd have probably said--
-"Don't allow yourself to be scorched by the fiery flames of adversity!"
---or something like that
-haha...I, uh...guess so...
below sfx is "hand towel"

-Anyway, it looks like peace and order have returned to that part of town...
-And the church is receiving donations, so maybe it'll be fixed soon?
-But we lost all our leads on Spray King!
-Yeah well, at least he was okay...

-But even more questions have cropped up! Some guy called "Ace" seems to be King's arch-enemy...

44
-And then those attackers mentioned something about driving people berserk...?
-I don't have answers to anything! I have to try researching every little clue, no matter small...!

-H-hey guys! Long time no see!
-Sorry that I wasn't there to help out with your last Spray King hunt...

-Where in the world have you been, Tora-kun?
-I wasn't able to connect to your cell at all!
-Sorry~ I had some family stuff to deal with, so I returned to the countryside for a bit
-The reception's terrible out there...

-Come to think of it, Tora's never around when Spray King shows up...

-Maybe I should do a background check on him...?
bold: Miu's "vision" kicks in!
