Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Hana to Yume
2001 vol. 4, episode no. 93
Translation by Yuki-chan
The episode title page features Tsukasa in profile. She's wearing army pants and a rather tattered black tank top... she's not wearing her protector. Her hands are clasped in prayer and she has a serious look on her face. Anyways, the colour pic looks like a chalk pastel & pencil drawing... Looks pretty cool...
Text: ...For whom is the prayer......
Misumi glances left and right. His sight is filled with the bullet ridden bodies of the dead. He comes to stand several paces away from Sakaki who's still clutching his gun. Kali follows obediently.
Sakaki stares up from his position against the wall with eyes burning hatred. He too is covered with blood.
Sakaki: "...! ...Shiva.........!"
Misumi: "...You have the devil's own luck, Sakaki......"
Sakaki: "...Damn you......! How could you......! The Ultimate Weapons......! On me......!"
Misumi snickers. "...So you say...... But didn't you send others (the Ultimate Weapons) out after me and watched from a distance---...? I just returned the favour." He looks down at Sakaki, his sheathed sword in his left hand. [I might have mentioned this before but Misumi is wearing a jacket... but no shirt underneath... Why, and what did he do with it!!?]
Sakaki, ignoring the blood dripping down the side of his face: "......In the past, if there was someone you wanted to kill, no matter what, you only relied on your sword......!"
Misumi, calmly: "...... ...You too. In the past, though you would have followed me, you would never have thought to surpass me......"
Sakaki: "......... ...To me... 'Shiva the god of destruction' was that sort of being to me......" {I fell in love with your cold-heartedness... I thought at that time that this was a man I could not let die.}
There's an image of Wakasa plunging her sword into the body of a man who's likely Mikaidou Shiva with flames dancing in the background.
Sakaki tightens his grip on his gun. {...That's why} "...But..." {I had you resurrected} "...You who's obsessed with Wakasa......" {14 years ago------...} "...You're... just a man------..." {That's------ ...what I couldn't tolerate---------!!} "SHIVA------!!" He raises his gun in a blur.
Misumi whips out his sword at the same time... and it looks like his blade makes contact with Sakaki's head [yeah, that sound gross but that's what it looks like...]. Misumi in turn takes a bullet wound to his left shoulder (complete penetration).
Kali's ears twitch and suddenly the cyborg cat rises. Close up of bindi-man. [Eew...]
Ouguro starts firing, and Kali leaps to take the first blow.
Kali/Misumi: "!?"
Misumi: "Kali! !!!" He notices the man half hidden by a pillar. {Ouguro------!!!}
Ouguro too is covered with blood, but judging from the condition of his clothing, it doesn't look like his blood... He continues to fire another two shots, which Misumi takes in his chest.
In the last frame, Misumi falls back, still clutching his sword in his right hand, the sheath flying through the air......
In another part of Megafloat Airport.
Tsukasa: "---... ...Was that just...... a gun fight......?"
Behind her, Akira seems to be trying to edge closer.
Akira: "..."
Ryuji: "...No... there was only the sound of one [type of?] gun... Sounds like someone's firing randomly."
Akira, in the background trying to get closer: "..."
Tsukasa: "The group's breaking up again......!?" {Man,} "Those guys (Garyukai) really don't get along with each other."
Akira, in the background trying to get closer: "..." He glances back and forth trying to look for an opening.
Tsukasa starts suddenly. "...Maybe..." She puts a hand to her chin and thinks. {...That guy Gonzaemon went in by himself and...}
Akira: "... ... ..." He's still trying to edge closer.
Text: To the left, centre and right.
A little antenna pops out of Ryuji's head.
Ryuji: "......" He looks pissed. "...Hey..." He closes in on Tsukasa, accusingly. "You... you were just thinking about that ronge yaro right?" [ronge yaro = long haired guy = Misumi] The antenna on his head (2 thick strands of hair which are sticking out) twitch and he has a popped vein on his cheek.
Text pointing to the antenna: Uwaki sensor. [ uwaki = disloyalty, an affair; unfaithful]
Tsukasa starts: "...E...!?" She looks nervous.
Akira: "..." He starts running towards the pair.
Ryuji, with the uwaki sensor still up: "What comes after '...Maybe...'!?" {Go on, say it!} "You're not thinking about that yaro are you!!?"
Tsukasa, now with fangs and a popped vein: "Wh What!!? How rude of you!!"
Akira jumps, arms outstretched towards Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: "Why would I, the very motto of the seigi worry about the evil Gonzaemon!!?" [seigi = good, as in opposite of evil]
Akira cringes as he makes contact with a dome shaped barrier. He slowly slides down its surface.
Tsukasa: "You have a nerve to mock me that far!! Come now!! I'll handmake you!!" [When I say 'handmake', I'm talking about in cases like 'handmade noodles']
Akira: "......... ---......" {...I... can't get between them------...!! Not like before when I could...!!} He sweatdrops.
Within the barrier, Tsukasa is 'handmaking' Ryuji. She's wearing a T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, loose pants and a bandanna wrapped around her forehead. She's on her knees rolling Ryuji flat with a huge rolling pin [actually, it's just a long bar]. Showing fangs and a popped vein, she's taking her anger out on making the 'noodles'.
Ryuji: "..."
Tsukasa: "Fun! Fun! This is the important part of hand made noodles!!" [Not a direct translation.]
Note plastered to the barrier: Hand made soba, maximum 120 servings. RYU. [RYU is the kanji for dragon. soba = Japanese buckwheat noodles]
Text pointing to the flat Ryuji: Currently being hand made.
Akira: "What's this shield around the 2 of them......!!?" {Something's different about them!! What could have happened while I was buried under the rubble...!?} He pauses a moment. {...What... ...What happened to cause those 2 to create such an atmosphere......!?} He's referring to when he casually mentioned that Tsukasa looked like a gokudo out for vengeance. {...At that time... it was as if Tsukasa had the same kind of aura as Shirogami Ryuji... and it made me feel like she had become like one of them {gokudo}---... and I felt... distanced from her------...} [Crappy translation... sorry.]
Meanwhile, the barrier had been taken down and Tsukasa is seen hurrying.
Tsukasa: "...This isn't the time to be doing something baka like this! We gotta move in!"
Ryuji: "You're the one who started the handmaking process." If you look closely, looks like Ryuji has a hand gun in each back pocket of his tattered pants. [Get a new pair, Ryuji...]
Somebody clicks away on a portable computer.
Ouguro: "Hey. ...Freya. Can you hear me!? It's me! Answer me if you can hear me!!" He's leaning against the wall holding the laptop. His face is smeared with blood [don't know who's it is.]
Voice from computer: "... ..EE? What?"
Looks like Freya's still on the hunt.
Freya: "Did somebody say something!?"
Ouguro, pissed: "It's me!!"
Freya, sounding confused: "E? Huh? Is that voice Ouguro kanbu!?" [kanbu = a title meaning management level/executive. Just as a note, in Japanese, titles such as president/VP/principal etc often come after the surname.]
Ouguro: "That's right."
Freya: "Oh, so you are alive. What about commander Sakaki?"
Ouguro, bluntly: "He's dead. Along with the leader." [Remember, he addressed Misumi as sousui or leader.]
Text pointing to Ouguro: Liar.
Freya: "E...?" {Rea~~~lly?}
Ouguro: "So, due to these unfortunate circumstances, I possess the 'kagi' and from here on I will be leading Garyukai."
Text: A really big lie.
The scene moves to Freya who's seen freaking out.
Freya: "EEEEE!?"
Ouguro, though her ear piece: "...What's that 'EEEEE!?' for?"
Freya, in tears: {...Ya~~~nn The boss is becoming more and more busaiku~~~~~~...} [busaiku = poorly made, aka ugly]
Ouguro: "And so where are you and what are you doing?" He starts walking down the hallway.
Freya: "...Now...? I'm heading your way."
Ouguro: "I see." He pauses behind a corner and peers out into the distance. "...Then hurry up and come back for your mouse hunt... Around here there's a lot of mice (Kuryugumi members) hanging around."
Freya, excitedly: "Really? Are there any good looking guys?"
Ouguro: "Don't worry. About 80% are handsome." {The quality of Tokyo's gokudo is much better.} [Not a great translation...]
Text pointing to Ouguro's comment: Super liar.
In the background, Kyuragi and Kawazoe are seen standing around. [Which means that Ouguro has spotted Ryuji and co.]
Freya: {Kya © Yess!} "I'll be back in a minute!!"
Ouguro: "When you come back, finish up within 5 minutes."
Freya: "Five minutes? Why?"
There's the sound of something ticking. A close-up of the computer monitor shows the word Megafloat with a background of something exploding.
Ouguro: "...Because Megafloat's blast net is operating---..." [I know it's grammatically incorrect, don't shoot me for it!]
In another part of the airport, back in the room where there's a mass grave of GRAVE cops.
Asago is seen kneeling on the floor in front of someone. Around her is blood, bits of rubble and unmoving men. She looks down at Munakata. He doesn't look good with blood all over him.
Asago: "......... ...Hey..."
Munakata doesn't respond and his eyes remain closed.
Asago: "...Hey... ...That bakemono onna is gone... ...Stop playing dead already......... ...Hey...!" Munakata still doesn't move and her eyes go wide in fear. "Hey!!" She shakes him. "Hey!! Hey!! Stop it!! What good is it for you to be dying before I do!!? You promised!! You said that you'd protect me------!! Take more responsibility for what you say!!"
Words echo in her mind. "...Didn't I tell you......? That I live to protect women? ...Let me protect you."
"Open your eyes, and stand and protect me!!" {---Just like before with that face full of confidence.}
Flashbacks from her first encounter with the cop fill her mind. "...From here on, I'll protect you." She remembers how he had grinned at her.
"Say 'I'll protect you'!! ......!" {------PLEASE------...}
She had managed to roll him over but Munakata still remains silent and unmoving. Tears fill her eyes. "......!"
Asago: "SAY IT---------!!" Her words ring loudly in the huge room and soon give way to sobs. "......!" Hiccuping, she tried to scrub the tears away.
Scenes flash in her mind. Seeing Ryuji fall in front of her eyes.
Asago: {...I couldn't------... do anything then either...} She recalls how Tsukasa and Bun-san had tried to treat Ryuji's gunshot wounds, and how she had stayed quivering in the corner unable to speak or do anything.
Asago: {And while I couldn't do anything, ...Ryuji had---...} "...In front of my eyes------..." {And yet now.......} "...even you---..." {...I---... I can't take this a second time------...} She rests her head on Munakata's chest and weeps. Her ear catches a faint sound. Her eyes open wide. An SD Asago gets up suddenly and places both hands on the side of his neck.
Text: Checking for his pulse at the artery in the neck. [Carotid artery?]
Three frames pass with her checking his pulse. Her eyes open even wider.
Back outside.
Tsukasa: "------...E......!?" She gulps. "...What...!?" She and Ryuji are in the lead of the Kuryugumi group. Akira is behind Tsukasa and Kyuragi and Kawazoe are behind Ryuji, with the remainder of the kumiin a little distance away. "What's with that queen-style oneechan who seems to be in the wrong place......!!?" {How suspicious looking......!} [Not a direct translation.]
Ryuji: "Did someone in Garyukai call out a queen?" He's showing several popped veins.
Text pointing to Ryuji's comment: Instead of going out, the idea of having a queen come to one's house for some SM play to amuse oneself. [Sorry if I totally screwed up the translation but I think that's what it says...]
Tsukasa: "...What I'm wondering about more is why she looks so depressed..." {It looks like she may commit suicide.........} She sweat drops.
Freya, with her face half in shadow: "------" She's standing there with her hands on her looking at the Kuryugumi group sadly. {...What's this~~~... that Ouguro kanbu is such a liar~~~...}
Murmurs erupt from the Kuryugumi members.
"Suspicious......"
"Strange..."
Ryuji: "......"
"Suspicious..."
"Strange......"
Tsukasa: "..."
Freya: {Where are the good looking men~~~~~~? They're not that different from Garyukai's men.}
Text under the 2 clan heads present: Oyajis. [oyaji = older man]
Text around the kumiin: A parade of mean looking guys (kumiin) who seem to be in it for blood.
Freya: {The only ones who make it to my strike (interest) zone are ...that one." ['strike zone' are her exact words] She glances at Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: "?"
Text pointing to Tsukasa: Freya neesan's interest ranking number 3.
Freya: {That one.} She glances at the GRAVE officer.
Akira: "---..."
Text pointing to Akira: Interest ranking number 2.
Freya: {That...} She glances at Kuryugumi's kumicho.
Ryuji: "......"
Text pointing to Ryuji: Interest ranking number 1.
Akira: "... ...Tsukasa......"
Tsukasa: "...N?"
Akira: "...Be careful... that..."
Freya: "Oh well. It's not like there aren't any good looking men."
Akira: "She's..."
Freya's hair hardens and suddenly pierces the ground. Everyone startles in surprise.
Akira: "One of the 7 bakemonos!!"
Tsukasa: "...!!"
Freya smiles her evil smile and snickers. "...My next target." {Chosen.........}
