Psyren 53

Just in time for new year's, after the first script i typed was wiped by a sudden restart. first time in like a year. grr.

Naruto, pein, kekkaishi...oh my.

the english words used in character moves lately have been ultra-lame. pardon the translation (it's not my fault)

01
white: Volume 4 hits stores 1/5 (mon)! / Look for a special chapter coming out in the Akamaru winter '09 issue! Hits stores 1/10 (sat)!!
(t/n - if it's anything like it was before, I wouldn't get worked up over this. it was just a joke strip and had little to do with the story)

CALL.53 - "Pain"
Iwashiro Toshiaki
white: Inui's "shadow" takes physical form!!

-Leave the shadow guy to me!
-Kyle!!

-I'll keep it pinned down...
-While you take the mummy, Ageha!

SUMMARY (left) - The battles with Inui and his partners-in-crime finally come to a climax! Using his "Shinrabanshou", Shao is able to predict all of Lan's movements and claims victory.* Meanwhile, Ageha faces Inui. Inui creates a shadow clone that copies Ageha's strength and speed, called "Angry Goalie." It corners Ageha...just then, Kyle joins the fight!!

*(t/n - was it lan? wasn't it haruhiko? could this be a legitimate misprint? scanlators, fix it as you see fit)

02
-What the?!

-My Angry Goalie is you, yoshina. A copy of your Rise abilities...
-Well, not quite...

-I added a touch of my pure anger and hate as well...

03
-Cooooooooool!

-KYLE!! GET BACK!!

04

05
-KYLE---!!

-NGAH!!
-What's so interesting? I'm your opponent!

-Angry Goalie is an autonomous program. I can move freely when it is in play...

-And that's not all--its senses, like touch and pain, are all directly linked to mine

06
-The sensation of breaking its opponent's bones...or pummeling soft flesh...
-All of it comes right back to me!

-GAH--!!

07
-What's wrong there, pal?
-Your arms ain't lookin' too good!

-What...is that?

-Transparent...blades??

08
-That's the PSI power Kyle was talking about earlier!

-Kuwa-hah...Kahahaha!
-The pain was so intense I didn't even notice both arms were cut off!!

-This Bastard!! He isn't simply taking the hits...
-He's using Rise right as I hit him to reduce the damage!!

09
-Not only has he read all my attacks, but now he can even land hits on me...
-He's...strong!
bubble: What a lovely evening...

-I have to forget about trying to knock him unconscious...

-I have to go
-all-out!!

10
-ya-hoo!

-Even if you strain your eyes, most people still won't see it
-Can you? See my ability, I mean?

11 Where's yoshimori when you need him?
-By super-compressing the air in the atmosphere, I can create my own special PSI-blocks
-That's my zone-type PSI..."Material High" (t/n - zone is a furigana reading. the kanji is "air-space control" for zone-type. material high is...either another really stupid english sounding name, or I don't know what the author was referring to)

-Granny is always nagging me..."use your head when you use your powers!!"
-But it ain't my style to set a trap and wait around

-I like it up-close and personal, y'know? No matter how much I try to think, my body's moving before I know it...sorry granny

12
-Well, whatever!
-I do things my way...

-"Fall Down" (t/n - kanji "fixed/stationary release")

13
-Heavy, ain't it?! This my super-duper-ultra x3 high-density Material High!!!

14
-Gah...

-I did it, Ageha!!
-I pinned the shadow down!

15
-KYLE, "SHUT UP"!!

-That's Ageha's signal to turn off my PSI!

-What's happening?

-A teeny, tiny...
-black...marble-looking thing...?

16
-What is that for?

-Ammunition

17
-Ooh!!

-You said you feel everything your shadow clone does...

18
-This is the stuff you live for, right?
-How's it feel having your body torn to pieces?

-If you still think this feels like supreme bliss,
-Do explain to me how next time

19
-Pain is how we learn? Cut the crap.
-It's because we fear pain that hard-learned lessons stick

-After being lectured by trash like you, who takes agony for pleasure,

-I didn't learn a damn thing
-Do us all a favor and keep it to yourself!
white: Rejected!
