Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Hana to Yume
2000 vol. 16, episode no. 84
Translation by Yuki-chan
The episode title page features Tsukasa, Ryuji, Kamo-san and Bun-san. All except for Ryuji are doing Munch's "The Scream". Actually, Ryuji does have his hands raised halfway to his face but is sweat dropping. I suppose he's too cool to do such a thing.
Text: And what these 4 saw was? (The answer's in the episode.)
At the Megafloat Airport, Kuryugumi members are busy at work while Shiki is being treated for his injuries.
Azuma: "---I'm sorry for the trouble... Not only did you treat us but this one as well... Thank you."
Meiko: "That's quite all right. I heard that this kid is Hogou's son!" {That makes him a victim to Garyukai's evil ways.}
Azuma: "...Ha..."
Meiko: "Now if he was a true Garyukai member or something then I won't help---"
Azuma: "......" {A true... Garyukai------...} An image of Misumi flashes through his mind. [Until I know better, I'll keep calling the long haired Garyukai guy as Misumi.]
Shiki is now asleep and is bandaged up. He was being treated inside a mobile treatment room [Maybe kinda like an ambulance?].
Tsukasa: "...Well well~~~ Ryuji-kun!! I thought that back then you were going to stab Souryou Misumi!" She's referring to the last fight scene between Misumi and Ryuji. {You scared me for a moment! You stopped though!} "That was good of you!"
But Ryuji has his back to her.
Tsukasa: "......" She tries to start conversation. "...What's so good you ask? The fact that you prepared such a weapon for yourself since the fingers of your left hand don't move properly due to injury." {That's pretty smart of you!! Ryuji-kun!! You king of tricks!!}
A close up on Ryuji's new weapon looks very much like Tsukasa's knife. And it does look like it comes out from his watch (assuming he has one...). Tsukasa holds Ryuji's left hand to take a good look at the weapon.
Ryuji is still facing the other way, puposely avoiding her.
Tsukasa: "..." A vein pops on her head. "YOU BASTARD......!" She kicks him on the back of the head. Ryuji goes down. "The least you can do is look me in the eye when I'm being so humble!!" {Who the hell do you think you are anyways!!?}
Ryuji's bodyguards are watching on as usual.
Bun-san: {...And who... are you to say that.} "I don't understand what part of that is humble."
Kamo-san has huge eyes. "...I just love it..." {It's just like the very picture of a husband being picked on by his wife... ©} [I think this is the type of relationship he expects if Tsukasa and Ryuji were to get married.] He has his hands together, visibly pleased.
Ryuji, with a lump on the back of his head. "......" He turns slightly to view Tsukasa from the corner of his eye. He doesn't look happy.
Tsukasa, royally pissed now: "What!?" {What's with the eyes!?}
Ryuji, to Tsukasa accusingly: "...... ...You... broke your promise......"
Tsukasa: "...A...?"
Ryuji: "...With a hickey from some other guy you traitor...!!"
The last part is accented with thorns, which are piercing Tsukasa's head.
Tsukasa, trying to make Ryuji understand: "I'm saying!! That was an event much like being bitten by a mosquito and nothing more than that------!! I didn't do anything that makes me a traitor!!"
There's a picture of an SD Misumi with a mosquito's mouth parts... [Gyahaha!!]
Ryuji: "Humph! How can I trust that!? You've lowered your guard in front of that ronge-yaro before."
Tsukasa: "I have not!!"
Ryuji: "You have too! You were staring at the guy at Niko-Niko Tower!!"
Tsukasa: {That's enough!!} "That wasn't staring at the guy, I was surprised!!"
Bun-san: "Kamojima-san, what should we do? They're starting a chiwagenka......" [chiwagenka = a lovers quarrel... so the dictionary says...]
Kamo-san still has his hands together from happiness. "It's just like an argument between husband and wife..."
Ryuji: "...So you say, but haven't you been moved by that guy at least once---!!?"
Tsukasa recalls the moment when Misumi had straddled her, the way he smiled softly...
Tsukasa: "......" She looks really manuke...
Kamo-san and Bun-san are shocked: {A...!! She clammed up!!}
Bun-san: {How honest to the point of stupidity...!!}
Ryuji: "...Y... Y...O...U~~~~~~~~~~~~" His eyes flash an angry white and his hair stands on end as he reaches out towards Tsukasa accusingly. A huge popped vein decorates the side of his face and power seems to arc from his hand. His presence overwhelms Tsukasa. [Another must see picture...]
Tsukasa: "AaA~~~! Iyaaaaaa. That's not it! It's not that---!! It's not that I saw Gonzaemon as a man, but I did kinda felt this twinge not from the atmosphere but his eyes......"
Ryuji: "A TWINGE...!?" This time he's lit from the side, the rest of him in deep shadow. His eyes look evil.
Tsukasa: "...A..." A shadow passes over her face. Her hand is to her mouth.
Bun-san: {...Tsu-bo.....}
Kamo-san: {Is not the type who can cheat and have an affair......}
Misumi butts in all of the sudden. "...The reason your heart skipped is because---..." He uses two fingers to tilt her head up to look at him. "My presence alone awakened the sleeping woman inside."
Tsukasa: "NO IT DIDN'T!!" [Actually, you can't tell from the grammar but she actually finished his sentence to say that "My presence alone did not awaken the sleeping woman inside of you".] She yells at the guy with her fangs bared.
Behind her, a very dark looking Ryuji pulls his gun out again.
Tsukasa, turning to Ryuji: "Don't pull out your gun like that every time------!!"
Misumi, chuckling: "...Did you feel my love for you in my eyes...?"
Tsukasa, suddenly looking serious: "...... ...You're not looking at me...... ...You're looking at the 'Wakasa' in me..."
Misumi startles.
Tsukasa: "The one you love isn't me but Wakasa."
Azuma: "---...I wonder about that---..."
Tsukasa: "!" She turns around. "...A... mister!"
Azuma: "...It's true... that he may have loved Wakasa-san in the past... But, if he's the man that was killed by Wakasa-san."
Misumi starts again.
Azuma: "Then... he undoubtedly hates... I wouldn't think that he still loves her."
Tsukasa, her hand to her chin: "...Really---...?"
Behind her, Taku and Toshi start.
Misumi: "...I'm surprised... ...The fact that I was killed by Wakasa... There were people outside that knew that Garyukai top secret..."
Tsukasa: "!!"
Tsukasa and her brothers shake their heads.
Azuma: "...I didn't exactly hear that it was you. Just that the only person from Garyukai... the only one who Wakasa-san felt deserved to fall into ruin with her was you --- Mikaido Shiva..."
Misumi: "......"
Azuma: "...Though---... For some reason, she grieved over you, you who betrayed Hogou and joined Garyukai while you were of pure blood------"
Misumi: "...Don't you mean that Wakasa despised that...? Since she was in love with Sou---..." He looks away bitterly.
Taku starts and looks thoughtful: "...Really---...? ...It was more like anohito," [anohito = "that person", another way that the Japanese language can be vague about the sex of the person you're talking about...]
Toshi starts: "Taku-nii!"
Tsukasa looks at her eldest brother suspiciously: "...Anohito...?" {...Who are you talking about Taku-nii......?"
Taku freaks: "! ...E...? No...! Um...! It's...! It's nothing...!" He tries to shake off Tsukasa's suspicion.
Some distance away, Asago arms herself with a hip [waist?] holster and jams another magazine into her gun. "......" She watches Tsukasa argue with Taku. "---..."
Tsukasa: "Are you sure it's nothing? How suspicious~~~"
Asago: "......" Her face becomes distorted as she stares. "---Your face looks busaiku." Munakata's words echo in her mind.
Asago starts and whips out a compact and glances at her reflection in the mirror. "...Hi...!!! Who's this...!!? Dammit---!! It's all Baka-zuki's fault---!! When I think about Baka-zuki, I get angry and my face becomes like this---!! Why does my face have to look like this because of her? How annoying.... Kyaaa! My face is looking even worse!! Somebody stop it!"
Her father watches her for a moment. "... ...Asago."
Asago turns in surprise.
Sumon: "---..."
Asago: "...Father..." {...No way---...}
Sumon: "---..."
Asago: {It's been awhile since---... father has spoken to me---...}
Sumon: "...Are you going to participate in the war---...?"
Asago looks stunned at first, then smiles softly. "...Yes... I plan to---..."
Behind Sumon, it looks like something is digging underneath the pavement and is slowly approaching the two of them.
Back to Tsukasa and co.
Tsukasa: "...U~~~m." {Gonzaemon being killed by the woman he fell in love with the poor guy...}"Why did you betray Hogou?" {If you didn't, you wouldn't have been killed.}
Misumi, avoiding her eyes: "...For an adult reason."
Tsukasa: "You who's supposedly dead is in Misumi's body. How?"
Misumi: "That's an industrial secret." {To reveal that will cost me my life.}
Text: Are you a magician or what?
Tsukasa: "E------!!?" {I want to know---!} "Don't be such a grouch Gonzaemon---!!"
Tsubaki and Tsukasa's brothers watch sweatdropping.
Tsubaki: "...Kozuki... Isn't he kinda becoming friendly with him?" [He still hasn't shown any indication that he knows that Tsukasa is a girl...]
Taku, Sho and Toshi: "... ... ..."
Tsukasa: "Aren't you wondering too Ryuji---?"
Tsubaki: "A! And he asks Shirogami too!!"
Ryuji looks down at her with eyes of disbelief.
Tsukasa: "AAAAAAA!!" {Those eyes------!! What nasty looking eyes!!} "You bastard, you still doubt me!" {How persistent you are---!!}
Kamo-san: "...Well... I'm sure he can't help but doubt."
Bun-san: "...It's all Tsu-bo's fault."
Tsukasa starts as she notices a man in a business suit and shades standing behind Ryuji. His right arm looks kinda strange, as if he has a really long black glove that covers most of his arm. {---...A...?}
Misumi starts, as if he recognizes the man.
The man in shades pulls off the glove on his right arm to reveal... an android arm. [Actually, the arm seems to end just below the elbow.]
Tsukasa startles. {E...!?}
Ryuji notices Tsukasa's look of shock and glances behind him. The man's arm seems to transform into some kind of gun or the other... [Half man, half mecha?]
Ryuji and Tsukasa: "!!?"
The man starts firing. Everyone screams and runs for cover. Actually, it looks his whole right arm is mechanical, including his shoulder.
Tsukasa's brothers: "...Wha..." They are hiding in the cover of boxed plants.
Tsubaki: "...Wha..." He's protected by Azuma naturally.
Somebody: "What was that...!!?"
Misumi: "...!" He had jumped back and landed gracefully. He stares at the man. {...The ultimate weapon---...}
Tsukasa: "Was that... a human...!? Or.........?" She had pushed Ryuji back on to the ground. Ryuji's bodyguards had leapt back.
The man steps closer.
Tsukasa: "!!"
Man: "...Target ...confirmed"
Tsukasa freaks again. Both she and Ryuji run like mad when the man starts firing again.
Tsukasa: "WAAAAAAAA"
Kamo-san: "S... Sandaime---!!"
Azuma: "!!"
Tsubaki: "Kozuki---!"
Tsukasa's brothers: "Tsukasaaaa!"
Kamo-san: {...It has no interest in the rest of us what so ever. It's only targeting Sandaime and Tsukasa-san...!!}
Tsukasa and Ryuji run into one of the buildings. Ryuji rounds a corner. "!!" He sees that the room has no exit. "...!" He turns to face the gunman, drawing his gun.
The man aims, when Tsukasa comes flying out of the air to kick at the man's head.
Tsukasa: "Think I'll let you do that---!!?" She kicks, but makes no contact with the man.
Instead the man had somehow gotten above Tsukasa and now had the barrel of the gun pointed at Tsukasa's head while still in mid-air.
Tsukasa feels fear creep over her.
Ryuji starts firing in rapid succession. "...!"
The man's left had is behind his back, moving quickly. Tsukasa's eyes go wide with shock. Even Ryuji looks surprised. Both Tsukasa and the man land.
The man unclenches his left fist, which seems to be metallic. Four bullets clink to the floor.
Tsukasa: {...Wha...... WHAT'S THIS---------!!? Who the hell are you!!?} She has her hands to her face, her hair's doing the sea urchin thing and she has tears in the corners of her eyes.
Kamo-san and Bun-san arrive on the scene.
Kamo-san: {...Guns don't work...!?}
Ryuji: {What the hell is that---!!?} "Baka! Tsukasa, this isn't the time to be panicking!!"
Tsukasa has little circles for eyes, with tears streaming down her face... and the gun is practically touching her head. {...Ha... That's right.}
The noise from the gun seems to quiet all of the sudden though. Tsukasa looks up in surprise to see what the man's looking at. "!" Misumi is standing there holding his sheathed sword, the other hand in his pocket.
Man: "...Shiva-sama..."
Misumi: "...What's wrong... ...Rai." [I'm assuming that Rai is a first name... It's in katakana so it may not be a real name... Rui, now Rai... What's next, Rei?] "Weren't you ordered to assassinate me as well---...?"
Rai: "......"
Misumi: "If you don't kill me then you won't get your hands on new drugs."
Tsukasa: "...Drugs... ...Could that be someone transformed by that drug...!? That would explain the monster-class movements."
Ryuji: "...Probably... And that's likely the final form. Those that were superior in defence, offence over the civilians at Tokonome Island. An ultimate weapon that is both human and un-human at the same time. That was Garyukai's real goal..."
Tsukasa: {...Wh...... What---...!!?}
Large text: We can't win against that!! [Sounds like Tsukasa...]
Back to Asago and her father.
Asago's eyes go wide in surprise as she sees 5 coiled objects come out of the ground behind her father. [Could it be the female like ultimate weapon?]
Sumon: "...?"
Large text (Tsukasa's narration): We can't win against these monstrous ultimate weapons------!!
Asago: "------!!" The 5 coiled things burst out of the pavement and appear to be attached at the base... like a huge hand.
Sumon whirls his head back to see the oncoming danger.
Asago: "KYAAAAAA" Her speech bubble is decorated with blood spatter.
