Sorry. First, I still don't know who to send this script to for proofreading, as I actually prefer my translation to be proofreaded by a proofreader and double-checked by me before release. So, if you want to use this translation, PLEASE! Please proofread it, send the proofreaded script to me and wait for me to say OK to it first. >_<"
Second, for being late. Lack of Yukimura certainly makes me very depressed for the chapter (since he's my favorite of all of Basara, next are Sasuke and Oyagatasama...glimpse of Hanbei is what cheers me up the most in this chapter, yet it hardly helps since he only appears on the last page...T_T )
Please proofread before any use, and if possible, send the proofreaded script to me and wait for me to answer back first (since I'll check to make sure that the proofreading doesn't change the context...-_-")
Looking for proofreader for this series, Sengoku Basara 3, who I can send PM or email to for proofreading before release. Also need one for Blazer Drive, God Eater, and just in case Ala Atra decides to stop BK since they said that those are just random scanlations, Buster Keel. Since I don't want to storm Gal with all my scripts for proofreading.
Sengoku Basara 3 ~Roar of Dragon~
Chapter 1 "The One-Eyed Dragon"
Pg. 1
** The long-awaited comics of the popular game, "Sengoku BASARA"!!! **
The time is Sengoku.
The epoch faces yet another barrier.
The demon king who attempted to spread fear across the land, Oda Nobunaga, ceased in the rebellion of his liege, Akechi Mitsuhide. The one who defeated Mitsuhide and conquered Japan was the warlord who holds the will of Fukokukyouhei at heart, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
== Fukokukyouhei = fertile country, powerful army
And among warriors who resisted the great flow of time
stood one dragon.
Masamune - HA!
** NEW SERIES **
Pg. 2-3
** The tumultuous time, the period of Sengoku mounted on rivalry between landlords. The roar of the azure dragon echoes about!! **
** New Series **
Pg. 4
-- Oushuu --
-- The Northern Region --
Soldier - One must not stand
against us, the Toyotomi troop.
Hey, can you hear something?
It's coming close.
** The galloping resounds from afar...!! **
Pg. 5
Masamune - Let's show time.
Soldiers - Wha-What's that...!?
Pg. 6
U...WAA
AAAAAH
DEATH FANG!
Soldier - Cou-
Co-Co-Co-Could you-
Could you be...!?
Masamune - HA!
Why so panicking?
This is the Dragon's den, alright?
Pg. 7
The lord of Oushuu,
Date Masamune,
-- Lord of Oushuu: Date Masamune --
is now here.
Pg. 8
Soldier - Da-Da-Da-Date Masamune!!?
The-The-The...!!
The One-Eyed Dragon!!
Do-Don't be afraid. Go!
Charge in!!
Itsuki - The azure samurai.
Pg. 9
Masamune - HA!
Yet another easy win.
People - A perfect victory for the Date Troop~!!!
YEAH!!!
Koujuurou - Masamune-sama,
the Toyotomi Troop has retreated. Shall we send soldiers out after them?
-- Date Troop: Katakura Kojuurou --
Masamune - Yeah, but don't follow them too far off. Just scout them a bit...
Kojuurou - We must not show any mercy to those who claim the title of Fukokukyouhei, yet points their sword at unarmed civilians.
Pg. 10
Masamune - Toyotomi Hideyoshi...
This is the world he intends to make.
Hey, Koujuurou.
Kojuurou - 'Sir.
Pg. 11
Pg. 12
Masamune - Huh?
Pg. 13
What's with the noise?
Soldier - Hey, capture them!!
Those peasants stole
weapons from our stock!!!
Stop!
I said stop, dammit!
Masamune - Those guys are hopeless.
Soldier - If you don't,
we'll sla-...
Itsuki - I won't let you!!!
HEEYAH!
Soldier - Whoa!
Pg. 14
Wha-...What was that...?
A giant hammer...!?
Itsuki - Everyone, get away quick!!
People - I-TSU-KI-CHA~~~~N!!!
Evil samurais
will be punished by me!!!
-- Itsuki --
Soldier - A-A kid!?
Hey you!
It's dangerous to swing that big hammer. Kids should just go home.
Itsuki - You'll get hurt if you underestimate me because of my size.
Here I go!
Soldier - Whoa, wait...
Dammit, I don't want to do this, but!!
Pg. 15
Masamune - Geez, make it a bit cooler, will ya?
A bit cooler.
Soldier - UWA!
Masamune - Kid, just leave this to me. You go away.
Itsuki - Heh?
Are you helping me?
Soldier - BO-
HEEEKS!
Itsuki - Who are you?
Masamune - No need to care about that. Just go.
Pg. 16
Itsuki - You are strong, but you seem dissatisfied,
and you even side with us, peasants.
Are you a bandit?
Soldier - WAIT!
Masamune - ...Why cares about that?
You should go right now.
Itsuki - Certainly, nothing else matters if you'll lend me power.
If that's what you decided,
swirly brother!
Masamune - S-...
Swirly?
Itsuki - I can't leave you alone as well.
I'll fight alongside with you.
Masamune - [This is really]
[getting off-handed...]
Masamune - Maybe I should tell her my name...
Soldier - You idiot,
just who do you think this great man is!?
I'll tell you one thing. This man is the one that governs all of Oushuu.
He's our-
Pg. 17
Masamune - You're...Itsuki, right?
All right.
Let's fight together.
Soldier - Eh!? WHAT!! BO-
Masamune - Now then, shall we beat these guys up?
Itsuki - Right on.
Soldier - NO!!!
Masamune – Withdraw yourself.
Itsuki - Heh?
Soldier - Ah...
Bos-...
WITHDRAW!
Soldier - HEEEEKS.
Pg. 18
Masamune - Whoops, I missed.
Fine. Let's retreat.
Soldier - Bo-...
Boss...
Kojuurou - Good that you're not injured.
Pg. 19
Soldier - Ko-
Koujuurou-sama.
Koujuurou - I understand that you have a plan behind your move,
but...Masamune-sama,
please don't be so reckless.
[...And you pointed your sword at Masamune-sama just now, didn't you?]
Soldier - [That was an accident!! Just an accident!! HEEK, forgive us~~]
Itsuki - Swirly brother,
what you said just now about fighting together;
you really mean it?
Masamune - Huh?
Pg. 20
Will you
join us then?
Masamune - Before that,
I want to ask you what you are first.
Itsuki - "What am I?"...I'm just a normal girl.
Masamune - You call a girl swinging a giant hammer around normal?
Itsuki - This is a treasure I received
from the Rice God.
It's a precious strength given to me
to stop the battle that's burning down the field.
Masamune - Heh,
so that's the reason behind the riot?
Pg. 21
Itsuki - Everyone, what's wrong?
People - Itsuki-chan, we really can't take this.
We can't let some unknown guy enter our village.
Itsuki - It's fine, everyone.
He helped us fight with the samurais just now, didn't he?
Masamune - That's good.
Itsuki - So put back your sword.
Masamune - It really has to be like this.
Pg. 22
Itsuki - Whoa, that goes to you too, swirly brother!
Masamune - A riot means you’ll have to fight with thousands and even millions of samurais.
If so, then fighting with me alone
should be a piece of cake.
People - Ngh...
UWOOOH.
Heeks,
THAT HURTS!
Masamune - I don't like a tepid battle.
Be more serious with it, will ya?
Pg. 23
Itsuki.
Itsuki - ...Everyone...we're all friends...
Masamune - Then you guys can all die together as friends.
Tch...
WAAAAAAH!
DAI-KAN-PA!!
== Great Freezing Wave
Pg. 24
People - As expected from Itsuki-chan's attack that took down countless samurais.
Itsuki - I have to protect everyone, even if that means to attack with all I have.
[WAAAAAH, swirly brother is gone!]
People - Thanks, Itsuki-chan.
It's fine, Itsuki-chan.
He only got flung by the impact and is lying over there.
Itsuki - Really!?
Pg. 25
Pretending to be unconscious is no fun.
It's too buoyant that I can barely keep my cool.
Pg. 26
Masamune – Well, this is...
not even half as noisy as the preaching, huh?
People - He's out cold, so he shouldn't know where this place is.
You sure this really is alright?
He might be an ally of Toyotomi.
If the thing about us preparing our riot is leaked to Toyotomi-
We'll just attack them before they attack us. That's why we went to steal some weapons today.
It was so easy to sneak into Date troop's camp.
But even that can be the trap of those samurais.
Itsuki - Everyone...
becomes so unease...
It's alright, guys.
Pg. 27
I, Itsuki,
will protect all of you.
That's my duty as a leader.
So, everyone,
I want you all to lend me your power.
If we fight as one,
our riot will be succeed for sure.
Just waiting for those samurais won't bring peace to this country.
We'll bring down Toyotomi with our own hands.
Pg. 28
People - [YAAAAY, ITSUKI-CHA~~N]
I'll be the one to protect you, Itsuki-chan.
Itsuki - Ehehe, thanks, you all.
People - No, I will.
I will.
Itsuki - That's right...we'll make it with our own selves...!!
People - [Itsuki! Itsuki! She's so cute~]
Be careful though.
Itsuki – I’ll be fine.
Swirly brother, are you doing good?
Masamune - Well, as you see.
Itsuki - It's your fault for trying to hurt everyone, swirly brother?
Masamune - You people started it first though.
Itsuki - [I can't argue with him on that...]
So you can eat these and we can make up.
These are rice balls I made from the rice we harvested here. They'll make you feel better.
Pg. 29
Everyone is being dense,
but actually they're kind, strong and so good at their rice dance,
to the point that we can even can run our riot.
I really
love this village
and everyone here.
The great sky and the gaudy rice,
we all harvest, eat and smile together.
But horrible samurais came about,
and destroyed everything.
Actually, there was a battle at the village below last night...
The whole village...was burned down...gone.
It won't be long till our village's turn...
That thought gets all of us furious.
Pg. 30
Even in this second, there are villages being burned down,
and lots of people are weeping. That's why we-
Masamune - That's why you fight...huh?
Masamune - To defeat those samurais, you wage war, kill people,
and burn down villages.
You might pretend to be heroes of justice with your riot,
but what you do is no difference from those samurais you hated.
Like they said, "Ask the farmers how to farm"...so, well,
why not send the statement to Date Masamune, the lord of this land or something?
Itsuki - That azure samurai is the one I hated the most!!
All samurais are just the same. Especially those samurais who're good at battle,
All they're thinking is about who is the strongest in the world,
rather than of the current well-being of us, peasants and our lands.
No one’s going to protect us at all.
Pg. 31
I dream of
the world where everyone can laugh together without thinking of status.
And I'll fight
for that dream.
Masamune - You have a very good dream.
Itsuki - Eh?
Masamune - Let's go then, Itsuki.
People – Is Itsuki-chan still alright?
Pg. 32
BWAH!!!
Masamune - YA!!
Itsuki - KYAA!!
People - Hey, he's getting away!
Itsuki - Wah, where are you going, swirly brother!?
Masamune - Playing chase, huh? Makes me think of my childhood.
People - [WAIT~!]
[HEY~]
[WHA~]
Itsuki - Where are we going, swirly brother?
Masamune – From the landscape, it must be this way, huh?
Itsuki – But you were unconscious back then. How did you know the direction!?
Masamune - Where are we now?
Itsuki - This is a hill where you can see the village below.
[The village that was burned down last night...]
Pg. 33
The village...
is being rebuilt.
Kojuurou - It's Masamune-sama.
Itsuki - Uwaaa, a samurai!!!
I forgot to bring my hammer!!
Masamune - Relax. He won't attack you as long as you don't threaten him (I think).
Pg. 34
After last night's battle,
our leader, Date Masamune, has
Masamune - Kojuurou.
Kojuurou - 'Sir.
Masamune - Gather the whole Date troop.
We'll fix up this village right now.
Itsuki - Date
Masamune.
[That azure samurai I saw back then]
Kojuurou - And because of that, there are no soldier left at the camp,
letting someone to slip in and steal our weapons this morning.
Masamune - Look carefully.
This is the peaceful world
Masamune-sama creates
Even without your riot,
your dream
is already granted by Masamune-sama.
Itsuki - ...Eh?
But how did you-
Huh?
Pg. 35
Kojuurou - I cannot believe that tiny girl is the leader of the riot.
But, she should probably give up after seeing this.
Masamune - I do hope so.
Tch, but
leading her here to show what I did myself makes me look pathetic.
Kojuurou - What are you saying, sir? Your action is what will change that girl's mind.
You did not make that extremely reckless action because you have that already in mind?
Masamune - Ah, well...guess you're right...
Want some of these?
Kojuurou - Rice balls?
Masamune - Hmm.
I can't let the hands that make such delicious rice
to be tainted with blood, I guess.
Pg. 36
Itsuki - Everyone believes samurais are evil, but
that kind of samurais really exists then...
The one that laughs
with everyone.
[Can I really believe that...?]
Masamune - Why not send the statement to Date Masamune, the lord of this land or something?
Itsuki - Maybe I should try writing him a letter...
I'm back, everyone~
Listen to this, guys!
The village below is already-
Pg. 37-38
My...
village...
People - Hah,
heeeks...
Soldier - One must not stand
against us, the Toyotomi troop.
We've received reports that this village is rebelling against us.
There are weapons in the warehouse.
They can’t make any excuse now.
Pg. 39
Masamune - You lost sight of them?
Kojuurou - We managed to follow the Toyotomi troop from last night until before they crossed over the mountain, but our men are not used to that landscape...
I, Kojuurou, will take the responsibility for this.
Masamune - Stop that. I was the one who told you not to go too far.
Soldier - Boss!
There's a message from the patrol team!!
Itsuki - DAI-KAN-PA
Pg. 40
WAH!
People - Itsuki-chan!!
Itsuki-chan's attack won't work on them at all.
These samurais are strong!
Is this the Toyotomi troop?
But how did they know about our riot?
Then that guy really is-
Itsuki - That can't be true.
People - Samurai-sama, what are you doing?
Didn't you promised that there won't
be any harsh punishment, just a small warning on the riot?
You told me that if I tell you, you'll protect Itsuki and everyone, so I do as you asked. Yet...!!
Pg. 41
Soldier - Shut up!!!
People - Wah!
Damn them! I can't stand them anymore!!
Itsuki - Everyone.
Soldier - Fire!!
Itsuki - Our...village...
Pg. 42
No one is
going to protect us.
I seriously
hate
SAMURAIS!!
Masamune - Sheesh.
Itsuki - Swirly bro-
[No...it's the azure...]
Pg. 43-44
[It's the azure samurai...!!]
Masamune - Let's make it cool, alright?
Make it cool.
Pg. 45
Soldier - The One-Eyed Dragon,
Date
Masamune!!!
Itsuki - Swirly brother is the azure samurai!?
Masamune - Ah? Well, something like that.
Itsuki,
Itsuki - Wah-What's it?
You protected it well.
Pg. 46
Soldier - You really came.
Masamune - Huh?
Soldier - From what happened yesterday,
I recruited more soldiers and was waiting for you.
Masamune - Ha!
Call out all you want,
and I'll fight with them all.
Itsuki - Thi-...This is our village, so we'll-
Masamune - You stand back.
From now will be the time
for your loathed samurais.
Pg. 47-48
LET'S PARTY!!
MAGNUM STEP!
DEATH
Soldier - Don't be scared. Charge!!
Masamune - FANG!
Pg. 49-50
WOOOW, the azure samurai is seriously strong!
Al
though...
the enemies...
really outnumbered him.
Itsuki - That's enough.
That's enough already.
Why? You, the azure samurai, is still a samurai, yet
why do you have to
fight for us like that?
Masamune - "Why", you asked?
Didn't you say it yourself?
Pg. 51
That we will
fight together as comrades?
Hm? Ah...but you did say
that you hate the azure samurai the most...didn't you?
Itsuki - [Yes...that's right...]
Pg. 52
the azure samurai always points that swirly back at us
and protects us.
I...
I
I really
like the azure samurai!
Masamune - All right,
you heard that, guys?
Pg. 53-54
Soldier - Our Toyotomi troop
got completely surrounded by the Date troop!
Kojuurou - Sheesh, such person as you...
Masamune - [I'll hold those guys up.]
[During that time, you gather all our soldiers and surround them.]
[This time, don't let any of them escape.]
No need to worry,
Itsuki.
Pg. 55
I, the One-Eyed Dragon, Date Masamune,
vow to create the world where all can enjoy lives together.
Pg. 56
Soldier - Kuh, don't care about those fries. All we need is the One-Eyed Dragon's head...!!
Someone get that One-Eyed Dragon...
UWO!
Masamune - That tiny kid of famers has to grab her weapon and fight.
The one who made her like that is none other than samurais.
You might be different from me,
but from the surface, we are samurais alike.
So why don't we make a fair death match between samurais?
I don't like a tepid battle, after all.
Pg. 57-58
You're dead if you don't take this seriously, get it?
JET-X.
Pg. 59
Kojuurou,
what you said was right. Heading north is really the correct decision.
You expect some kind of rewards?
Kojuurou - For you not to do anything reckless would be the greatest reward of all for me.
Masamune - Ah-hah. That'll an expensive one.
Kojuurou - I thought the only one who'll come to attack us would be the Ushuus, but
I didn't expect the Toyotomis at all.
Their invasion is faster than we've imagined.
Masamune – The Toyotomis may be able to conquer the whole land,
but they can never create the world of harmony.
Kojuurou - If so, then please use your power to bring all land under your rule.
Pg. 60
Masamune - Sure thing.
HA!
Pg. 61-62
-- Settsu --
-- The Osaka Palace --
Hanbei - Nevertheless, the dragon has made
a very clever move.
Toyotomi - What's wrong, Hanbei?
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Hanbei - Fufu, so you noticed?
There's no need for you to be beleaguered.
Just for your entertainment,
-- Toyotomi Troop's strategist --
-- Takenaka Hanbei --
I shall let the one-eyed dragon of Oushuu
crawls down on the ground.
** The sidling hands of the demon...!! **
