p01----- Text in box: A Creature made by combining dead body parts... - “Frankenstein’s Monster”
- These Creatures are no mere fantasy. - Mania, researchers devoted to the art of Creature making, are turning out monsters of all kinds day after day, all over the world.
- These Maniacs enter their best creations in the Creature Championship… - And the one with the glory of being its champion for three consecutive years is—
p02 - 03----- - of Tachibana Laboratory - Raiden-18!!
- Frankenstein’s noble birthplace, the reliable and excellent Tachibana laboratory!!
Tachibana: Right. Lately there’s been a lot of fakes on the body part auction site. - Imitation celebrity body parts, domestic goods that are actually from overseas, limited time pieces and so on…
Raiden: Limited time…? - See, Stalin’s heart is being auctioned again.
- You’re not doing anything about this? - First off, us experts won’t fall for it. Linked bubble: Amateurs and dabblers who get fooled are no concern of mine.
Laptop: clang clang - Yay [heart] I did it [heart] Linked bubble: I managed to snag that dead body for a song [heart] - Wow~~~ Isn’t that great~~~
- … NOT!! - Don’t buy and sell people’s bodies!!!
p05----- - There’s no killing involved! Dead bodies are being reused is all! Linked bubble: Reusing corpses is eco friendly!! - Why is the criminal making herself seem so righteous…
- Jingle - Ah.
- There’s a new fake Raiden-18 video. SFX: clack clack - Again!?
- Recently it’s not only parts, the entire body and body parts of the famous Frankenstein is popping up too. - Professor Tachibana’s creation Raiden-18!
- See this incredible ability! Linked bubble: Three bricks are rendered into dust by a karate chop! - Nooo—!! Do something about this—!! - Isn’t it a vulgar pirate imitation? Linked bubble: Pay it no heed. - The bad guys shall be annihilated!
- Those fakes can’t hope to match up to your specs. - Arm of the Grand Sumo League Champion “Raiden”! Teeth from the winner of Japan’s Strongest Teeth Contest 10 years running!
p06----- - And in that titanium reinforced skull, the brain of a specialist in all fields! That’s what you possess! - There is no need to go after small fry, as the original you need only stay alert.
- Have confidence in yourself, Raiden-18.
SFX: sip
- … You have a point.
- I am the original after all—! SFX: hahahaha - Today we present to you the creator of Raiden-18, Professor Tachibana!
p07----- - I am Tachibana.
Text on cloak: clap clap Text on cloak: phweet phweet - … The imitation has better specs don’t you think?
- Be it imitation or petty piracy,
p08---- - It won’t do for things to continue like this!!
- As the representative of Japan’s Creature researchers, I must bring the hammer of justice down upon these people—!! - Exactly!!
- That’s precisely why I fell for you, Ms Tachibana!! - I knew you’d be moved to action after seeing that video on the web!!
- Oh my, the guy who, if he’s not failing the championship entry requirements, breaks before the contest even begins, or is beaten by Raiden in one hit… - Hahaha, I’m flattered you remember every one of my battle records. Text on face: Pretty embarrassing
p09----- - I, Dokudami University Frankenstein research section’s section chief (nameless), - have been waiting in this airport for the sole purpose of placing this modified body at your service!
- Please no, Dokudami… your body, at the recent championship… - That was plenty enough for me… Text in box: Translation [bullet point] I don’t need such trash [bullet point] You’ll only be a hindrance… etc.
- No need to fear!!!
- Solar panels are utilised reducing CO2 production by 25%!! Linked bubble: It can operate at peak function for 24 hours, even better than energy efficient batteries!! Text beside face: eco friendly~~ - And with these eco marks in my hands [no idea what he means here], I have no blind spots!!
p10----- Uniform guy: O—kay, let’s just take a look at your internal makeup. - Uh… Just a, Ms Tachibana! [linked bubble] Sto… - Um…
Text in box: Cargo hold
p11----- - Why did we have to go in the cargo hold!! - You two run on electricity, so you were checked in as home appliances. Linked bubble: Besides, I only paid for one person’s seat.
- And? It’s nice to come to the mainland, but do you even know where those guys are? - Never fear!
- It’s a little bothersome, - but I won’t rest until I annihilate that fake Tachibana’s hideout!
- My—
p12----- - Ahahahahahaha!! - I can’t stop laughing!
- Ever since that video came out on the internet, so many orders have come in it’s hard to keep up with the demand! - Ms Tachibana, here’s your drink! - Well, I’m only listening to the desires of the masses.
- Goodness, doesn’t this place seem like Santa’s toy factory. - Eh? But we only had to buy them from that market. Text on boxes: Raiden-18
- Oh dear, you’ve been scamming them? - Even the money we paid were counterfeit—
p13----- - Ah well, we can afford to pay them in real money now. - As long as we have the duck that lays the golden egg, the money will keep flowing in…
- Really, it’s hard to stop laughing~~
- Found you, you fakes!
- Abandon all hope, Pachibana!! [mix of Tachibana and Pachi, meaning fake, she’s essentially saying faker Tachibana]
p14----- - Ah… The originals? Text beside teeth: You’re kidding me. Text behind head: He’s pretty big up close. - How do you know of this place!?
- Your direct mailing address!! Text above Dokudami: Home address too! Bold text: Oh!! - Dammit—!! I kept such a close eye on the internet I overlooked the direct mailing address!!
- Raiden-18!! If you defeat them, we’ll become the real deal! - Yeah. Gotcha.
- Well— - You see— I don’t really wanna fight you know, too much trouble you know.
Bold text: open palm strike - Grugh!!!
p15----- - Wow! - Man this guy’s insides are put together really sloppily.
- Back to the main topic… - Seems like all the spiel about being made in Japan and stuff were lies.
- Made in Japan… indicates that it’s a good quality, sturdy product… Linked bubble: Countless people are willing to buy them… - I tell them it’s made in Japan and sell them peace of mind… Linked bubble: I’m selling them dreams!
- I became rich through selling fake Raidens! - And I happened to get my hands on this particular corpse!
- Still… I really didn’t want to have to resort to this…
- But you’ve forced my hand!!
p17----- Sign on face: Where is the toilet [no honestly that’s what it says ^_^] Dokudami: That’s… - a zombie…!!
p18----- - Isn’t a zombie some kind of demon? - It is commonly referred to as such.
- That thing has existed in this country since the days of yore, and it too is called Frankenstein’s monster. Linked bubble: The only difference is that unlike you, that thing has no awareness of it’s own.
p19----- - That’s Mao… - He’s Mr Kezawa Higashi, a true blue Japanese—!!! - She’ll say it’s Japanese no matter what pops up!
- Raiden, I want it I want it!! - Huh?
- I re—ally want that!! - See, when I went to rob the grave someone had already switched the corpse…
p20---- - Capture him in one piece!! - Uh— well, since he’s just an old man, I guess I can capture him with minimal fuss…
- Mr Kezawa Higashi has been combined with a Mongol sumo champion!
p21----- - … The sumo world’s been tending toward a formidable direction lately, I’m not that confident this authentically Japanese arm can defeat him. - Oh my. I thought the zombie was posing, but it’s actually a Mongol sumo wrestler Dance of the Hawk. - Believe in yourself, Raiden-18!!
- As the world’s best you must make him regret having sullied the made in Japan brand!! - You kidding me!? The world’s best what!?
- … Guts?
- What a bogus philosophy!!
p22----- - Anyway, just what part of this thing is made in Japan!! That’s just misleading!!
- Mussels…. - Mussels!?
- When overseas imported mussels are nurtured on local mussel farms for 2 to 3 months, they are allowed to be labelled as local produce… - Is that right!?
- Mao… or rather Mr Kezawa has been fitted with the proper local elements; moreover the Mongol sumo champion was an initiate at a Japanese sumo for 3 years before dropping out and returning home!! - No guts at all!!
- Being steeped in the Japanese sumo environment for 3 months has qualified him as authentic Japanese produce—!!!
- I get it!! - Don’t “get” it!!
p23----- - Never mind trying to capture him in one piece, there’s no way I can go easy on this thing! Here he’s got no awareness of his own, yet you’re telling me I can’t go all out!! - That’s just… [linked bubble] unfair!!
- Hohohohoho - Having no awareness nor conscience to limit him, his true ability is revealed! A terrifying warrior!!
- A masterpiece of the art of corpse transformation!!
- A lack of awareness means he can’t distinguish between friend and foe you know. - That’s why I didn’t want to use him~~
p24----- Big text: Calve scoop Text in box: Soraeho [this is another name for calve scoop]
Big text: Kawazu back twist Text in box: Full oroho [another name for it]
Big text: Caster Text in box: Achiho [another name for it]
Big text: Mill drop Text in box: Umusuku [you probably realised these are all proper sumo terms]
- What the heck—!!! He’s incredibly strong—!!! - Don’t say such pathetic things!!
p25----- - Japanese soul!! Let’s see your guts!! Text beside bubble: flap flap flap Text below bubble: Dance of victory - Why’re you saying that kinda stuff, weren’t you watching what happened just now!!
- Hohohoho!! You finally realise that I’m to be feared!! - No one can stop Mr Kezawa now!! [linked bubble] Not even I!! - Don’t be proud of it!!!
- Mrgh…
- You can’t give up, Professor Tachibana. [linked bubble] The pride of our country… Our arts! Our guts! - But not only that!
- Our country is a democracy!!
- Basic human rights, - right to freedom, - right to equality… and—
p26----- - Majority vote!!
- !! My products… - How!?
- Equipped with solar energy conversion panels and batteries, I…
- have no blind spots!!
p27----- - Authentic stress free product of Japan!!
- Nu… [linked bubble] U… Hunh!!
- Yo sup big bro. - Thanks for starting me up yo— - Damn, I don’t understand what they’re saying!
p28----- - You little scammer!! - How dare you!! Pachibana: iyaaaaa
- Whoa— - Just as I planned!
- Judging from that fake Tachibana’s attitude, I was almost sure that they weren’t in those boxes by choice….. - My suspicions were confirmed when I started them up.
- Hey, you guys!! - A little help here would be nice!!
p29----- Small text above crowd: jerk swindler hag - A posse of weaklings!!
- Big bro big bro, [linked bubble] There’s something you’ll be wanting ta see.
- A container?
p30----- - Ah…
- Could it be…
- You - You’re here to save us!?
- Call the police!! - Help us! - That woman was trying to kill us!!
- Pachibanaaa…
p31----- - You did something you should not have done…
- Us Creature researchers have one golden rule, and that is “use corpses only”!! - The law may allow you to kill for creation, but we forbid it!! Text below bubble: Um doesn’t the law normally forbid that as well?
- I… I only did this for the sake of the world…
- The human population is increasing rapidly!! [linked bubble] Things like food shortages and global warming are occurring because of that, and the earth is screaming!! - But Creatures don’t need food!! They don’t expel CO2 either!!
- If we thin out the population by making them into Creatures, the environmental problem can be solved!! - I’m thinking of the greater good for the eco-system - If you’re that dedicated then just don’t eat dolphins!!
p32----- - Raiden!!
- I’m removing your power limiter!! - What’s that!? It’s news to me!! Text below bubble: An auxiliary setting!?
- Grand Sumo League Champion Raiden-18… [linked bubble] Destroy these criminals!!
p33----- White text: Eye gouge - Gurgh
White text: Finger crush White text: Palm clap
p34 – 35----- White text: Mage [pronounced muh-ge, not the magical kind of mage] grab
p36----- - Not the haiiiirrrrrr
- Hmph…
- A meaningless triumph… - Hair…
- No really, thank you so much.
- With the Olympics and the expo going on, we moved from the countryside to the city in search of work. - But we didn’t find more work… Text in box: Interpreter
p37----- - While we were in that quandary she offered us good money… - So we came along and were captured.
- A little later and we might have been killed and boxed up to be sold as Creatures. - Thank you so much for saving us.
- I’ve had enough of the big city. - We’ll be returning to our village.
- to… village…?
p38----- - Yes. Our families are waiting for us back at the village. - So we’re going back.
- V…i… - Village…
- Shall we go back together?
- Mao… [linked bubble] go back… - village…
- Agricultural produce tripled… Middle top ballon: Big leap forward… Mao: Mao… work hard… Leftmost bubble: You get moving! Bottom bubble: Thank ya—! See ya—! Text on trouser leg: noooooo
p39----- - Phew— goodness… - Somehow a big crowd has gathered…
- …anyhow, what to do about these guys. [linked bubble] It seems wrong to leave them behind. - They’ve gotten attached. - Let’s keep them in Japan for 2, 3 months, then sell them off?
- Ah, that thing earlier became a news story.
- Oh—! That’s kinda amazing! [linked bubble] It’s become a pretty big news item! Video’s text: Mama— [linked bubble] I nearly got killed in the city—! - My son—!! - It’s become a pretty big deal.
p40----- - You were pretty awesome. [linked bubble] I was moved.
- I wasn’t being righteous.
- Is she embarrassed? - Those guys were really happy you know—.
- Half a day later and they’d all have been lying six feet under. Text above people: Thank you— Thank you— - You are their savior.
- Yeah… [linked bubble] It’s forbidden to kill to get a corpse. Text beside head: sigh— - However, it’s fine if they’re already dead.
- If we had arrived half a day later, I would’ve had access to unlimited corpses.
