Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Hana to Yume
2001 vol. 8, episode no. 96
Translation by Yuki-chan

The episode title page is in colour... Tsukasa wearing what appears to be a pink and purple kimono... Well, she's only wearing half of it. It's still tied at the waist but she's sitting with her knees spread out (so that the kimono isn't covering much of her legs) and she has the top half off. She also has a wide white cloth that she had probably used to bind her breasts back... which is on the verge of falling off. Her purple eyes are in Wakasa mode.

Text: Male - Kozuki Tsukasa (?), I will now tighten one...!! [Ummm.... the translation is probably wrong... don't ask... I have no idea what it says. I don't think it's saying "I will kill one of you/them"... I don't have a Japanese slang dictionary...]

Text: ---The myth was passed down from one generation to the next. Over time, it was repeated. ---The girl stood up, holding the sword stained flame red, roaring like a lioness she turned and at that moment------... we became witnesses to the new 'legend of the seisai'--------- The text is written around frames showing Tsukasa rise to her feet despite her injuries.

Another frame shows one of the kumiin and kanbu behind Ryuji. Usui is pointing and staring with his mouth agape. Ryuji even looks a bit surprised. But Freya seems to be the most surprised.

Freya, her eyes wide: "......! ...You...!! You're really a girl---!!"

Tsukasa: {Wha?} The last bits of her jacket, tank top and cloths binding her breasts back fall to her waist exposing her chest. "......" {---...E...?} Goose pimples break out and her mouth falls off her face. [For real. Her mouth is that thing by her chin.] {Wha... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!? It's ooru oopen!!} [ooru oopen = Tsukasa's pronunciation of "all open".] Her hair standing on end, she hurriedly tries to cover herself up, tying the remnants of cloth into a make shift bikini top. [Man, can you imagine if Muko and Shigaraki were there at the time...?]

Freya is standing there stunned beyond belief. "......!"

Tsukasa: {Th...! They saw......!! They saw......!? ...Right...? They (Kuryugumi) did too right...?}

She glances nervously towards the kanbu and kumiin with bulging eyes and sagging jaws.

Tsukasa: {AA!! They've all stopped with their mouths open......!!}

Text pointing to Usui: There's even one who's still pointing.

Tsukasa, sweat dropping: {......... ...Oh...! Oh no...!! They all saw------!!} She does a silent scream with her hair standing on end and an open mouth showing fangs.

Ryuji is standing there stunned, his mouth open slightly. Half of his face is in a dark shadow. "---..."

Usui: "...Th... They're breasts...... Those... are really breasts... are they not......?" The man is still pointing. {The full curves,}

Mooka: {That shape and form.}"...Aa... They're not just swellings...! Those are undoubtedly..."

All the kumiin and kanbu present: {Women's breasts.........!! How can this be!!? Up until now we thought the gaki was a boy...!! But in reality---...!!} A shadow hangs over each of their faces and their mouths are all hanging open.

Ryuji suddenly pulls out a huge mallet labelled 'memory loss device'.

CRUSHER!!

Ryuji swings the huge mallet.

Usui and those near him. "AA---!!" They get knocked to the ground.

The remaining kanbu and kumiin all have expressions of total confusion. "!? !? !? !? !?"

A kanbu: "......!? ......!? ...Sa...! ...Sandaime......!?"

Ryuji turns slowly, glaring harshly.

The kumiin and kanbu all freak and try to back up. "HI--!"

Ryuji, slowly closing in on them: "...... ...FORGET IT......"

All around, the Kuryugumi members slowly edge away from their kumicho.

The clan head: "...E ......!?"

Ryuji: "ALL OF YOU EREASE EVERYTHING YOU'VE JUST SEEN--!!"

The sound of the memory loss device is heard in the cloud of dust obscuring Ryuji.

Kumiin and kanbu: "AA~~~!!"

Tsukasa: "......" She sweatdrops as she watches.

Freya: "...How could this be......? ...How disgusting... ...That I...... was fighting a GIRL all this time---..." She's quivering with rage, looking downwards.

Tsukasa looking cute and wide-eyed: "E...? That's all right. You don't really have to think of me as a girl..."

Freya: "...How... ...dare... you trick me like that---..." She raises her head and flashes eyes of hatred towards Tsukasa.

Tsukasa freaks. "...E?"

Behind Ryuji a huge explosion seems to occur.

Ryuji whirls, letting go of the memory loss device. One of the kanbu manages to catch the device in his hands.

Kanbu: "A!!"

Tsukasa: "WAA!" All around her Freya's needle like hairs are thrusting up from the ground. She manages to avoid the attack by jumping and flipping. {...Th... That bitch (bakemono onna) ------!! As soon as she found out that I'm female her attacks have become quicker------!! Even her expression is different!!} She recalls Freya's cold eyes just moments earlier. {That onna!! She really was enjoying the kill......!!}

Freya then unleashes the pincers with a whip of her left hand.

Tsukasa's mouth opens in a silent scream as the head straight towards her.

Ryuji whips out his gun and aims......

Two omamoris fall to the floor. [In case you've forgotten, omamori = good luck charm]

Toshi, Sho and Tsubaki stare at them.

Tsubaki: "...... ...Hey... ...Both of them ripped at the same time." [I guess I wasn't too clear... the string that went around the neck like a necklace suddenly detached as if cut.]

Toshi and Sho with shadows over their faces: "...... ......"

Text pointing to the omamoris on the floor: The Taku-nii special made omamoris they were wearing around their necks.

Large text around Tsubaki: And....! In the middle of us praying for the well being of Kozuki!!

Tsubaki panicking and doing the scream: "Is... Is that okay~~~ That omamori~~! I'm sure Kozuki had the same one but he lost it on the graduation trip!!" {I'm sorry Taku-niisan but......! That's bad luck!! That omamori~~~!!}

Toshi and Sho both holding their omamoris: {...Tsukasa...?} They're shaking in fear.

Voice: "Hey you guys."

The black cloud hanging over them grows in size as they turn to see Taku.

Toshi, Sho and Tsubaki: "...!!"

Taku: "I think we took a wrong turn somewhere."

Taku is looking at one of those flat digital map thingies. Azuma is nearby as well, wearing an unbuttoned jacket over his bandaged abdomen.

Taku: "If we detour a bit through there we should be able to get near the building Tsukasa went through~~~~~~~------!!"

Taku's words are cut off as each of his younger brothers grab one of his arms and start dragging him at a dead run.

Taku: "Hey what's with you guys------!!"

Azuma looks confused as well as Tsubaki starts dragging the man along. "E!? E!?"

Tsubaki: "Hurry Azuma!!"

Toshi: "Hurry Taku-nii!! I have a bad feeling!!"

Taku: "E!?" {What!?}

Sho, in panic: "When we were praying for the omamori's well being Tsukasa ripped and the string fell--!!" In his hurry he's mixing up his words. (^_^')

Taku, seriously confused: "HA!?" {What!?} "Shooo, you're not making any sense what-so-ever!!"

They head for an arched doorway.

CRASH!

Sho: "AU!!" Sho's thrown to the floor. "!!"

Taku: "...Sho!"

Sho: "Ow~~~"

Taku: "Are you all right!?"

Something clinks as it bounces by Sho's feet.

Toshi: "!!" He glances behind him as a huge jewel still bounces a few more times.

Sho: "I just bumped into someone...!"

Close up of Ouguro. [Eew.]

Sho and Taku go bug-eyed as they're face to face with the man.

Sho and Taku: "...... ...... ......"

A dark aura seems to surround Ouguro who's on his bottom like Sho.

Text pointing to Ouguro: A face that seems to personify the words 'villain' and 'evil/black-hearted'. And with an evil looking aura.

Toshi looks down at the huge jewel in his palm. "......" {...Wow~~~... ...It's pretty~~~...}

Azuma and Tsubaki catch up with them.

Tsubaki: "! He--y. Did something happen---!?"

Toshi: "A. Actually, I just..." He holds up the kagi.

Behind Tsubaki, Azuma freaks and his jaw drops. "------!!!"

Ouguro gets up suddenly as he recognizes the kagi. "------!!!"

Tsubaki: "What's that?"

Toshi: "...Probably something that man......"

Ouguro rises, wielding his gun: "Gaki!! That's mine!! Give it back------!!"

Sho, who's right beneath the guy: "WAAA!"

Azuma: "Toshiyuki-san!!"

Ouguro fires two shots towards Toshi and Tsubaki.

Toshi and Tsubaki: "WAA!"

Azuma manages to shield both of them, taking both shots in the back.

Tsubaki: "!! Azuma!" [For those who can read the furigana, you'll see that where Tsubaki says "Azuma", it actually reads as "Higashi", which is usual way of pronouncing the kanji.]

Azuma, gritting his teeth in pain: "...You...... can't give that to anyone!"

Toshi [I think]: "E!?"

Azuma: "That's... the kagi that came out of Tsukasa-san's protector...!"

The Kozuki boys and Tsubaki freak. "E!? E!? E!? EEEE~~~!!?" {This...!? The rumoured...!?}

Ouguro: "---...But...... right now...... it belongs to the one who has the right to rule the world as he pleases, and that would be me..." It looks like they're all outside now as a car pulls up nearby and blares its horn.

Everyone else starts. "!!"

Ouguro steps forward. "...So...... I'll have you return it---..." He raises his gun. "...Right now---..."

Suddenly the ground heaves and rumbling is heard. Cracks form in walls and building structures sway as if an earthquake has struck.

"WAAAAA!!"

Usui jabs his finger at the ground. "The ground just heaved---!!"

Another kanbu, in panic: "Megafloat will be destroyed!"

Freya, looking upwards: "---..." She has her hands on her hips. Her hair is thrust down into the ground behind her and her pincer-like fingers are extended towards the ground in front. "...That was pretty big..." She turns evil looking eyes to the sight before her. Blood stains the pavement. "...But," {There's still time------...} "...Just think...... ---... I won't let you die an easy death---..."

Tsukasa pants heavily, just barely conscious. Each of Freya's pincers had pierced her flesh, pinning her down to the ground by her right hand, both shoulders and two in her left leg.

Freya snickers. "You look very splendid right now."

Tsukasa: "......!" {---...Da... ...mmit......!}

Freya laughs again as she raises her right hand to her lips. "Since you're in the position that suits you best." Behind her seems to be a cage of pillars made from her hair. None of the members of Kuryugumi are seen.

Tsukasa: {...Losing... my... strength---...} She's about to close her eyes.

Voice: "TSUKASA!!"

Tsukasa starts.

Ryuji: "Tsukasa!! Don't close your eyes!! Don't turn your eyes away from the enemy!!"

Tsukasa: "......" {---...Ryu...ji...} Her vision starts to waver and all she can see is a faint outline of Freya. {...Where...?}

Freya turns to glance at the Kuryugumi members in the cage behind her. "Too bad. Your attempts to rescue the girl is in vain." [I'm guessing on the translation for the phrase here...]

Ryuji: "!!"

Freya holds up the bullet Ryuji had fired. "Of course you know that this is useless against me right......?" She flicks the bullet away.

Ryuji: "...... Why do you make such a barricade?"

Tsukasa: {...His voice... ...Is he close...?}

Ryuji: "I'm sure that you could have easily handled both Tsukasa and I!!"

Tsukasa: {--...Why---...? ...Why aren't you by my side.........? You promised... that when we died that we would be together------...} Her memory recalls how they had kissed.

Freyak matter-of-factly: "...You're what's going to get that nasty taste out of my mouth after I deal with that girl. ...If I let you loose, you'll move to protect the girl like that cop right...?"

She glances at Akira who still lies unmoving by the wall.

Tsukasa: {...Am I... going to die alone in a place without Ryuji---...?}

Freya: "I just don't want you do die a boring death by protecting a girl." {Why do you think I said you're my type?}

Ryuji: "...!!"

One of the kanbu [I think]: {...She's the type to save the best for last...}

Tsukasa: "......" {...If I die------..., ...I wonder if I can see Mom and Dad---...} She closes her eyes. {...If so---... maybe... ...it's all right if I do---...}

"Tsukasa-san...... ...care of Sandaime---..."

Tsukasa's eyes flutter open as she seems to hear Kamo-san's last words. "...!"

Freya: "---That's right. There's a kumiin that died shielding you." {I heard from commander Sakaki.} "He and one of my buddies stabbed each other."

Ryuji: "......"

Mooka: {...Kamojima...}

Meanwhile, Tsukasa is remembering her promise to Kamo-san.

"...Hang in there... Kamo-san... ...I'll protect Ryuji---... I promise to come back alive with Ryuji------..."

Freya: "In short, that kumiin is a good example. In the category of boring/useless deaths, according to my art, the cop near death from protecting that girl is baka, the kumiin who died protecting you is beneath baka." {It's proof there's no brains up there. Doesn't that also mean they're also useless as animals?} "They have no value in living. Like they deserve death."

Dark aura surround the Kuryugumi members as their faces turn from those of shock to those of anger. Ryuji looks the angriest of all.

Ryuji: ".........! ......You..." He glares.

The kumiin start as they notice something. "!! !!" They start murmuring among themselves.

Usui points again. "...Sandaime.........!" {There...!}

Ryuji: "!!" He turns his head in that direction and is surprised. "!!" Tsukasa had stood despite her injuries and was now walking towards Freya. Her eyes have the cold eyes of the kage no seisai and she seems to be radiating strength, even though each of Freya's pincers had actually penetrated their targets.

Ryuji: {---...TSUKASA...!!}
