Cyborg Grampa-G 30

The unthinkable has finally happened: Sharekoube has returned, younger, smarter and with 50 years of angst and anger ready to be released towards G-chan! Be prepared for the truth on the relations between them, Q, and how it affects today!

Chapter 30: 50 Years Ago was Really Serious!

89.
Flashback 1: We’re in danger of a youth-restored Sharekoube from 50 years ago…
Flashback 2: That’s…Sharekoube~~!?
Flashback 3: Tokijirou…the accursed man who stole everything from me…

90.
Kei: Wh…what’s—wrong, G-chan!
G: Mu…
G: As expected, I’ve endured with Young Version for over 30 seconds.
G: Sharekoube you! You’ve become mean by laying a hand on grandma!!
Sharekoube: Have you forgotten! This woman is mine! She was going to be my fiancée 50 years ago…no, much further ago!
Eiichi: What on earth has happened, G-chan!
Ai: I have no inkling that Sharekoube was so cool and that grandma was his fiancée—
Sharekoube: That day 50 years ago…I’ll never forget the day you stole everything from me, Tokijirou.
Sharekoube: 50 years ago—the year World War II began…at the time, you were an engineer for the army and became my subordinate…
(TN: While WWII believed to have started in 1939, it actually may have started 2 years earlier for Japan with their sparking of the Marco Polo Bridge incident which began their war with China)

91.
Sharekoube: What~~
Sharekoube: How can you not marry me now!! Where do you say you’re unhappy with me!!
Q: I’ve already decided where my heart is.
(TN: Though it’s actually Tokijirou and Kiyu in the flashback, I’m keeping it G and Q just for easier reference)
Sharekoube: Tokijirou…Tokijirou Kaizou.
Sharekoube: Actually his technological power is a genius near my own. That youth is active as a technological development engineer. But in all truth, he’s a hick whose only ability is plowing fields!!

92.
Sharekoube: We’re already fiancées and are destined to be married. And that you~~Think about this hard. If you become my wife, then the world will shift as you please.
Sharekoube: Currently, the army is my responsibility and I’m moving forwards with new weapons developments. If I can do this, then Japan will become a powerful empire to which no other country will be close to in military might.
Sharekoube: MODIFIED HUMANS!! This will power up all human functions, allowing them to perform perfect destructive actions in all battles!! They’re new weapons that can endure tank bombardments on the ground, fly faster than an aircraft at a speed of 1000 km/hr and furnished with firepower that can even sink the lead battleships!
Sharekoube: An entirely modified Japanese army will become murder weapons with an unknown terror; we’ll take over the world and create one large nation---!!
Sharekoube: How’s—that, will that fix your love for me—gufufu, become my wife and together we’ll rule the world----!!

93.
Q: Do you think that you’re human? You’re not human!! You’re a monster!!
Sharekoube: A monster…is that how I hear myself as your husband…
Q: ……
Q: !!
Q: Uh.
Sharekoube: If you say that, then you risk the illness in your legs…not to mention your body is weak and you have to endure your bad legs! If you’re together with that man, then you’ll be covered in the mud of farming and spending your life working hard will be a joke!
Q: Uuh…
Sharekoube: If you make me, the ruler of the world, as your husband, then you’ll live a life of luxury. Be my wife----!!

94.
Q: I…I will be together with Tokijirou-san………
Sharekoube: You say its better with that man who will be farming, spending every day covered in manure! A fool who says agriculture is more important than winning the war for our country!!
Sharekoube: Fufu…But you’re already too late. I have to tell just you a nice thing. In secret from the army, I’ve chosen a man to be a lab experiment for my modification surgery……
Sharekoube: That man’s name is………The Army Techological Research Engineer—Tokijirou Kaizou!
Sharekoube: Right now, he’s already undertaken modification surgery and should be reborn into a murder weapon----!!
Doctors: Banza—I, Banza—i
G: Uuh…
Sharekoube: If you want to be a spouse with him, then you’ll be a nice human-weapon wife--!
Q: That’s cruel…

95.
Sharekoube: !
G: Sharekoube--!!
Sharekoube: Kaizou…!? You were in the middle of modification surgery…
Q: To…Tokijirou-san…!
G: Sharekoube, you…Wasn’t the research support to be for farming-type modified humans!!
Sharekoube: Gehahaha!! You’re a blu—nder. You’ve been caught deceived by that girl—Did you think that we were making those for the Japanese army—You are just a lab experiment---!! You’re a fool whose mind is only on agriculture----!!

96.
Q: Tokijirou-san!
Q: Blood…!
G: Haa haa…If I was a bit later…It would have been dangerous.
Sharekoube: Kiyu-dono, break up with this man. This man will be captured directly by the army…Now, be my wife!
Q: Let’s run away, Tokijirou-san. We’ll live on agriculture together in somewhere rural.
Sharekoube: You—I’ll forget my gratitude in being promoted to engineer anticipating your natural talent. To have my woman on your side is--! Unforgivable---!!

97.
G: Technology isn’t for making murder weapons! Technology is only to be helpful for humans! Disabled legs can be legs that move freely with modification surgery!
Q: TOKIJIROU-SAN…
Sharekoube: You won’t use your talents for our country…you’re a fool!!
G: Sharekoube! I must end this with you!! You’re a dangerous man who will drive Japan…no, the world to its destruction!! I can’t forgive humans being weapons!
Sharekoube: DIE!

98.
G: Only my arm wasn’t in time…
Q: To…Tokijirou-san…
Sharekoube: Tokijirou! How could you have that unused treasure with just your genius scientific ability!? If you joined me, Japan would be the strongest military nation!!
Sharekoube: This isn’t just your power…are you fine with losing the war---!! Aren’t you also a citizen of Japan---! Don’t you love your country----!!

99.
G: I love my country!!
Sharekoube: !?
Sharekoube: Oyoyo—
G: But greater than that………
G: I love humans.

100.
G: I vowed that at that time! Someday, I would become a farming modified human and Japan would be a nation of plenty, and this farming power will defeat you!!
Eiichi: Whwhwhwhat is with that serious past!
Yuu: Is that right!?
Kei: And yet where is that left arm from then…
G: I earnestly hid this for the day I took it out when I became a farming cyborg, determined to never use this left arm.
G: Who could use a left arm made for killing people!! I only used my just my right arm, even when I ate, even when I used a hoe!
Sharekoube: Fu…That matter would just be snot if you had my humiliation. Since that day, many misfortunes have visited me…!
Sharekoube: From the unpleasant wound in my heart, my body became loosly fat from eating fried foods……I became nearsighted from embracing my studies to forget Kiyu……my hair quickly fell out, and furthermore, the lump from when I was hit transformed, making my head pointed—

101.
Sharekoube: Further, even my clear mind rapidly aged from that day and I couldn’t make a decent modified human—(flashback) ? !? ? !?
Crowd: …
G: Hyo—hoho, that’s your plight, that’s your plight.
Kei: I don’t think that gramps was young even now—
Sharekoube: Shut up, gramps—But now I’ve returned to Sharekoube from that day. Thanks to the Powerful Youth G you made—
Sharekoube: And now you’re going to taste the humiliation that I tasted the last fifty years. Until your head become pointed from stealing your woman--!!

SCHEMATIC: SHAREKOUBE YOUNG VERSION
“This is the hardest”

Sharekoube: Something’s happening…

102.
Sharekoube: Go, Block-Leader, my faithful servant!!
Mayor: Nishishi!
Sharekoube: Splendidly defeat G-chan and you’ll be leader of this block when I rule the world---!!
Mayor: Please take my Cigar Drill---!!
G: Idiot! That Block Leader is a fool for doing again a technique that failed once---!
Mayor: You’re an idiot—please look closely!
G: Hyo—
Mayor: Nishishi—I’m smoking cigars from everywhere---!! I now have no blind-spot.
Ai: What a vulgar technique--!!
G: Muuu
Mayor: This will make me the ruler of this block!

103.
Kei & Ai: Watch out, G-chan!!
Mayor: Huh!?
G: Mumu!! That pot saucer…!?
G: Z!!
Mayor: What exactly are you getting in my way!!
Z: Taa—
Z: I’m a professional who hunts cyborgs!
Z: If it’s a cyborg, then leave him to me!

104.
Kei & Ai: Ooh—an equipping scene from long ago!!
Z: My name too is Cyborg Hunter Z.
Z: Huh!? It’s suddenly night!? Where are you—everyone--!!
Kei: He’s failed cause he’s not used to it……
Mayor: You’re really just weirdoes! You’re a problem being on this block! Please go away!
Z: Wha—save me—
G: Idi—ot! You sho—uldn’t smoke imported things like cigars! You should smoke Echo, you should--!!
Mayor: Huh!?
Mayor: Yo…you! If it’s come to that, then….
Mayor: I’ll ride this cigar-type UFO and retreat for the moment—
G: Hyo!?

105.
Mayor: Phew—I’ll be fine if I’m in this area!
G: You can’t run, Block Leader!
Mayor: You persistant gramps---!!
G: If that’s how it’s come, then I’ll have to use up a large amount of energy!
G: I’ll concentrate my methane energy at the tip of my Echo, raising it’s heat to 100,000 degrees!!
Mayor: Please stop! It’s dangerous to put cigarette fire into methane gas……
G: NEW CERTAIN-KILL: ECHO MEGATON!
Mayor: HUH!?

106.
Mayor: Ah—
Mayor: Oya!?
Mayor: I’m not scrap iron—
G: Phew—Block Leader, you were a stubborn opponent.
Gantetsu: Shi~
Sharekoube: Magnificent, G-chan.
G: Wh…what!?
Gantetsu: Shi!?
G: Sharekoube!! You’re here unexpectedly…

107.
Sharekoube: I didn’t think that you would defeat that Block Leader. Accurately, the Block Leader was modified to give you a level of trouble. And I would have been unable to have fun in defeating you.
G: Sharekoube, you couldn’t…your own body already has…
Sharekoube: Of course! I’ll show you now.
Sharekoube: I have become the newest and strongest modified human in the world!
Sharekoube: I HAVE RECOVERED MY YOUTH IN ORDER TO REALIZE ONCE AGAIN MY MODIFIED HUMAN ARMY PLAN FROM 50 YEARS AGO AND HAVE MODIFIED MYSELF INTO AN INVINCIBLE SUPERMAN! AND NOW, I HAVE SURPASSED YOU----!!

TN: Well...I sort of have weird mixed feelings about this chapter, in both good and bad ways. First of all, the flashback story between G, Q and Sharekoube was just a really sad and dramatic tale on that part. Maybe a bit too melodramatic...but it's supposed to be in some way or another. You finally get a good idea not just on why Tokijirou was more interested in making farming cyborgs instead of war machines...but why he and Kiyu fell in love in the first place. Not to mention that Sharekoube back then was just really psycho...to the point that you sort of feel happy he went senile after Kiyu and Tokijirou left his life the first time. But once we get explanations regarding the past, including G-chan's old left arm and Sharekoube's "breakdown", the story seems to start entering rush mode as it tried to cover all the bases before the end of the series (which BTW is next chapter). As great as it was to see everything from Z's silly return to G-chan's sudden cigarette move and Sharekoube's "cyborg revelation" at the end, it just felt like it was throwing in everything but the kitchen sink...and it's only going to get crazier before it finally ends next time, so just watch out! The end of the G-chan era is finally upon us...
