Merci les gars!

Kibo était un lionceau qui est devenu un lion maintenant, d'où les cheveux longs qui symbolisent une crinière.

Il y avait un énorme écart de niveau entre lui et Seiko dans la 1ère saison, ainsi qu'avec Kiryu au tout début de la 2ème...donc l'écart actuel avec Ryuusei ne me dérange vraiment pas. Au contraire, ça annonce une probable aussi longue saison.

Chapitre 40: https://1fichier.com/?zyrinn98ib

O_____O;
It seems the new Kiichi is worse than Kiryuu ever was.
Need to hit the bed - but I think I'll finish the translation first....

It's done! Translation of chapter 40! Me off to bed now! -_____-.....zzzZZZZ

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pg.01:

Announcer: The winner of the fourth 'Dark Fight' tournament, held according
along blindfolded MMA rules, is....

MR. CHIN!!!

Battle.40: A single blow

Ryuusei: Oh... my feet hurt. Don't think I can't even walk a single step.


Pg.02:

Yuuki: That was perfect!

You knocked out the famous Galhad!

The one who once brought down the legendary Miyazawa Kiichi!

And with your right shoulder not being dislocated, you came
out of this fight with only minor injuries. Ain't that great!?

Ryuusei: It was a really weird experience.

I was able to read Galhads movements even though I was wearing
that blindfold.

Yuuki: Seems an idiot like you actually got the power of the
eleventh hour! *)

*) Translators note: It seems Yuuki is a fan of "Kinnikuman".
The so called "Kajiba no baka-chikara" (which are the exact words
she uses) is the ultimate 'technique' (or power-up) that Kinnikuman
relies on.

When your life was at stake, you were able to go beyond your limit!


Pg.03:

Ryuusei: Nope... don't think I did it *that* way.

In the end my head was completely clear.

When the alarm, warning me of the enemy approaching, took off

I immediately knew how to respond.

Seiko: That 'skill' might come from your DNA...


Pg.04:

Seiko: Kiryuu often used to practice striking and grappling techniques
while being blindfolded.

Sharpening all his senses, he could respond to any kind of his enemies reactions,
even without being able to see.


Pg.05:

Seiko: Kiryuu always was egoistic and arrogant.

But he also was utterly earnest in his pursuit of his perfection of
martial arts.

Ryuusei: Mr. Seiko... what has happened?

Seiko: Ki... Kiichi happened.

Why has Kiichi shown up here...

He got me with a perfect hit to the diaphragm-

Ryuusei: Kiichi is here...


Pg.06:

Seiko: Argh... even breathing feels painful.

Ryuusei: You were brought down by Miyazawa Kiichi, right!

Yuuki: Ryuusei!

Where are you going!

Ryuusei: Finding Miyazawa Kiichi!

Yuuki: But you just said that you couldn't even walk a single step!!


Pg.07:

Kiichi: Galhad...

You're a friend of mine...


Pg.08:

Kiichi: When you lost your eyesight you should have stopped fighting,
returned to your wife and children and lived a peaceful life.


Pg.09:

Galhad: You dirty bastard.

You've been waiting for me to come here all the time!

I know this because...


Pg.10:

Galhad: You are the major promoter behing this "Dark Fight" thing!


Pg.11:

Kiichi: You're right!

Robbed of your vision, the only tournament you could possibly
enter was "Dark Fight".

And I patiently waited for you to show up here.

So that I can finally finish you off once and for all!


Pg.12:

Galhad: Ki... Kibou


Pg.13:

Voice: UUUAAAHHH!

Ryuusei: Ba... back then, that really was Miyazawa Kiichi!

Miyazawa Kiichi was here!


Pg.14:

Ryuusei: The very moment I realized that Miyazawa Kiichi was around,
all my senses got sharpened.

I wasn't able to 'see' him at that time, but it actually felt like
he appeared right in front of my eyes.

I want to meet him.

Or.. rather...

I want to fight against Miyazawa Kiichi!


Pg.16:

Ryuusei: Wh... what the heck happened right now.

What the...

Caption: An encounter between those two strong ones...


Closing line: Tough Guyden. The man who succeeds the dragon. BATTLE.40 END
Next Episode: Will Ryuusei and Kiichi fight...!?

Bon chapitre, mais toujours aussi déstabilisé par l'attitude de Kiichi.

Il devient de pire en pire Kiichi

Il achève même les aveugles blessés et incapable de se défendre

Il est pire que Yujiro. Mais lui au moins il a toujours été comme ça

En ce qui me concerne "déstabilisé"est un euphémisme! De ce qu'il nous a montré depuis quelques chapitres Kiichi est de loin le personnage le plus impitoyable et le plus" pourri " de l'ensemble de la série. Même Kiryû, Kiba ou Genshu Ibara n'étaient pas aussi pervers...Là Kiichi agit en vrai sociopathe, en tueur de sang froid.
J'ai vraiment du mal à trouver du sens dans ce que je vois

A mon avis kibo a rendu la vue à galhad

Ma main dans ta Gueule !! Drole de technique pour lui rendre la vue

Merci les mecs.

Galhad est peut-être à la tête d'un réseau de massage thaïlandais avec finition dont a profité Kibo, sans lui avoir prévenu que c'était des ladies boys....

Wow on a vraiment l'impression que la série va redemarrer pour longtemps...

Pas certain que Kiichi ait "achevé" Galhad...finalement nous n'avons pas vu ce dernier ensanglanté ou que sais je et on sait que Saruwatari est habitué à nous montrer des corps tabassés ....

De plus les différents regards de Kiichi ne sont pas tous effrayants. ON retrouve même des fois le Kiichi que nous connaissions.
Je pensais à une chose: Kiryu orchestrerait cela avec Kiichi afin de retrouver un successeur digne de ce nom à Kiichi.
Je m'explique: se créer le personnage de Nemesis motiverait un combattant à potentiel...et parmi ceux ci les enfants de Kiryu par exemple. Garcia a été très proche de Kiichi fut un temps....
De même Kiichi cherche peut etre à progresser lui même mais pour cela il doit trouver un challenger et paradoxalement l'entraîner, le motiver.
Il sait que Seiko débuterait son entrainement tandis que lui jouerait le rôle de Kiryu/sonO pour ce dernier.

Kibo a bien dit il y a quelques chapitres qu'il a fait revivre Kiryu après l'avoir tué...Il n'a pas encore basculé dans le côté obscure de la force d'après moi.

Il ne faut pas oublier que Kibô prononce ces mots au moment où il tourne le dos à Seiko, affichant son nouvel emblème (Un lion).
Pour moi la symbolique de cette scène est là: Il n'a pas ressuscité Kiryû, il est "devenu" Kiryû.
Il perpétue l'esprit indomptable du roi des bêtes sauvages (Dragon) mais à sa propre manière, d'où le lion.
Il est devenu une version améliorée de Kiryu après l'avoir vaincu

A mon avis, kibo est toujours le kibo qu'on a connu mais des événements extérieurs l'obligent à agir de la sorte.
Je pense qu'il a rendu la vue à Galhad et qu'il a ressuscité Kiryu et qu'à un moment donné les raisons de ses agissements nous seront dévoilées.

C'est bien possible, mais en voyant Kiichi sur son "trône", il me fait plus penser aux 2 mafieux de la précédente série : Don Gambino et son frère " Ice heart Josephino " et sincèrement, c'est plutôt triste de le voir ainsi, alors qu'il ne s'est pas écrasé face à eux, ni face à Mikogami, le yakusa amputé du " Monster War".

A moins de prendre ces révélations du chapitre 39 pour des mensonges, c'est un Néo-Miyazawa que l'on voit. Saruwatari a sans doute voulu rompre avec l'ancien Kiichi et pour une rupture, c'est une sacrée rupture.

En même temps ce statut le rapproche des Miyazawa des précédentes saisons: Kiryû était un mafieux machiavélique impliqué dans la création de Garcia et dans toutes sortes d'organisations obscures. Son'o était champion et partie prenante du non moins obscur Dark Fight...Les Miyazawa n'ont jamais été des anges au final
Dans l'histoire des arts martiaux japonais de nombreuses écoles ou organisations ont été mêlées à la Mafia ( Karaté Kyokushin, Mumonkai, PRIDE etc...). Que l'on retrouve cela dans TOUGH n'est pas surprenant mais le fait de voir Kiichi en mécène/ stratège de l'ombre c'est carrément aux antipodes de tout ce qu'il a été auparavant.

Chapitre 41: https://1fichier.com/?k716u10pg4

Merci nevrose.

Bon chapitre. Cohérent par rapport à l'écart qui sépare Kiichi de Ryusei.

Effectivement on est au stade de la fessée déculottée là

Merci Nevrose.

Ca me rappelle Son'o qui avait mis KO Kibo d'un coup de beau sur le front la saison dernière. Une très grosse différence de niveau entre le héros et le plus fort acutel.

Autant de différences qu'il y a entre un chaton et un lion enragé...J'ai hâte de voir qui pourrait aider Ryûsei à combler ce vide... Par contre je sais pas si vous avez remarqué mais plus ça va et plus le combats sont courts et simplistes. On ne retrouve plus ses phases de grappling inextricables des premières saisons
Le seul bémol de cette saison par rapport aux précédentes c'est qu'avant on avait aucune idée du niveau que Kibô devait atteindre.. On avait donc aucune idée de la marge de progression du héros et de ce qui l'eloignait du top.Aujourd'hui à la lumière du duel entre Kakugo et Kibô on sait ce que représente le firmament des arts martiaux

Je doute que Ryusei réussisse un jour à rattraper Kibo. L'histoire se focalisera peut-être sur autre chose que la progression sans fin de Ryusei.

Tough est et a toujours été semi-réaliste seulement. Dès lors que y'a une pars de n'importe quoi (je frappe les mains dans le dos, j'esquive les balles, etc), comment peut-on entrevoir des limites?
Saru inventera de nouvelles techniques surhumaines pour que Ryuusai batte Kibo dans un bon gros paquet de tomes

Je ne dis pas qu'on ne puisse pas voir plus fort que Kakugo mais celui-ci constituant l'Elite de l'élite, on a une idée clair de ce que représente le top de la chaine alimentaire...
Ce que Kibo et Kakugo sont incapables de faire, peu de personnes ne pourront ne serait-ce que s'en approcher, que ce soit dans cette saison ou dans une autre.

Donc oui Ryusei peut potentiellement vaincre Kiichi un jour mais je vois mal TOUGH partir dans des Hadoken, techniques de lévitation etc...

And here's the translation for the new chapter 41:

----------------------------------------------------

Pg.01:

Ryuusei: It's not that I refused to become an adult but

I never saw any real purpose in life.

Be it money...

or women - I wasn't attracted by any of those.


Pg.02:

Ryuusei: At that time I was introduced to the martial art of
Nadashinkageryuu.

And I finally found my own way that I must follow.

I was surprised myself how much I was craving "to become strong".


Pg.03:

Kiichi: If you get cocky just because you beat Galhad, then you'll surely
receive grave injuries,

Mister Chin.

Tough Guyden
The man who succeeds the dragon

Ryuusei: And the one who reigns at the top of the strongest is this man.

Kiichi: Moreover...

Battle 41: Overwhelming


Pg.04:

Kiichi: Today is a bad day anyway.

Since I'm really in a shitty mood.

Ryuusei: Miyazawa Kiichi

W... wait.

Kiichi: Huh? So you're a tough one,

Chin-scum?


Pg.05:

Ryuusei: I... I am a 'dragon'.

A son of Kiryuu. I am Ryuusei!

Kiichi: Well, so what. And?

Did'ya think I'd be surprised to hear that you one of Kiryuus sons?


Pg.06:

Ryuusei: I... I came here fight against you...

Kiichi: Fight...?

Against ME?

That's as if a child in little league suddenly want's to play
in the major league.

Ryuusei: Huh...

Kiichi: Don't be so conceited, Chin-scum!


Pg.07:

Ryuusei: Argh


Pg.08:

Kiichi: They're often called 'tender spots' and many of them are
concentrated in the face.

Among those, this particular 'pressure point' lies at the the tip of
the sensory nerve which is one of the most vulnerable spots.

Pressing it strongly will squeeze the nerve and cause pain that brings
tears to your eyes.

Ryuusei: M... my body cannot move.

Kiichi: Oh... and pressing it even stronger...


Pg.09:

Kiichi: You're quite the good looking boy. Girls probably are crazy
for you.

Guess y' never experienced something like an inferiority complex
before, right?

Ryuusei: I... it's going to split...

AAH!


Pg.10:

Ryuusei: M... my head is splitting apart!


Pg.11:

Ryuusei: It will explode!

UAAAAHHHH!

Pg.12:

Ryuusei: Huh?

Kiichi: What ya need is a good dose of 'fear' and 'humiliation'.

Show a bit of humbleness and that might help with your growth.

Ryuusei: Don't...

Don't make fun of me


Pg.13:

Ryuusei: DON'T YA MAKE FUN OF ME!!


Pg.14:

Ryuusei: GUAAH!


Pg.15:

Kiichi: Insertion complete!

Ryuusei: Argh! Argh!

Kiichi: Overcoming the fear and humiliation one encounters is the only
way for people to get strong.


Pg.16:

Kiichi: If you really wanna be Kiryuus son then you must always head
for the kill by any means possible.

And if you don't have the resolve and guts for that then don't you ever
dare to take the name of Kiryuu into your mouth again.

Caption: A vivid memory carved into him...

Ryuusei: Aah

I... I will kill you

M... Miyazawa Kiichi!


Closing line: Tough Guyden. The man who succeeds the dragon. BATTLE.41 END
Next Episode: Ryuusei seeking retribution...!?

Ce n'est pas un duel, juste une prise de contact. Avec, l'artifice d'un Ryuusei très affaibli et une attaque surprise, on évite l'humiliation, c'est juste un avant gout.

Sinon, je ne vois pas non plus Kibo perdre à la toute fin. Déjà que Ryuusei lui donne du fil à retordre serait beaucoup, avec quelques mois (années?) d’entraînement.
Tel que je l'imagine le final serait plutôt un affrontement difficile qui tourne à la leçon et qui rappel à Kibo la philosophie de Seiko. Un combat qui n'a pas pour finalité la mort mais la vie.

Si défaite de Kibo il doit y avoir, je ne la vois pas avant ces vieux jours.

Chapitre 42: https://1fichier.com/?5g03wb7msq

Chapitre de transition cette semaine avec une petite retrouvailles d'un personnage déjà rencontré dans la seconde série.

Voici la traduction du chapitre 42!

---------------------------------------------

Pg.01:

Tough Guyden
The man who succeeds the dragon

Battle 42: Going through thick and thin

Caption: Ruminating all night about the overwhelming power Kiichi showed him...

Yuuki: What's up Ryuusei? Are you feeling down?

Are you still worrying about how Kiichi beat you with a single finger

While you could do nothing but let your tears and pee running?

Ryuusei: Th... that's not it


Pg.02:

Yuuki: No need to worry about.

That guy's just an evil monster, so it's no big deal.

Ryuusei: Thinking that at my current age... I... I still wet myself.

That's so embarrassing.

Yuuki: Listen: the great Tokugawa Ieyasu once wet himself when
he got the jitters on the battlefield.

A famous picture of that scene was later created as an admonishment.

So perhaps you should put your soiled underpants on your head and
wear them as an adornment to bolster your spirit and get stronger...

Ryuusei: M... my pants... on my head...?


Pg.03:

Seiko: At times of experiencing real terror and fear for ones life it
is not unusual for the body to urinate.

And Ieyasu was not stopped dead in his tracks by the fear he felt -
instead he peed to rid himself of the fear.

This is just similar to shaking with excitement.

It is nothing to feel ashamed of.

Ryuusei: Huh... is that really so?

Seiko: If you let the fear continue to grow, it will slowly but
steadily lower the performance of your mind and body.

But you Ryuusei shouldn't let that kind of negative feelings
gnaw on you.


Pg.04:

Ryuusei: Yes! I surely got humiliated - but there is no fear withing
my heart.

But Mr. Seiko.

Miyazawa Kiichi disappeared afterwards. Do you have any idea
where he went?

Yuuki: Talking 'bout that - Galhad apparently dropped completely
off the radar too.

Seiko: There's no doubt about it that Kiichi is deeply involved in this
'Dark Fight' tournament.

When the next one is held I'll make sure to get him!

Ryuusei: Get him...? What are you planning to do?


Pg.06:

Seiko: If somebody strays off the righteous path there shall be a
time for penance. And at that time remedy must be applied, even
if this means resorting to violence.

And that holds true even more when it's between father and son.


Pg.07:

Ryuusei: My feet... they still hurt. Makes running painful.

Voice: Help! Somebody help, please!

Voice: Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet?

Voice: Somebody please!

Ryuusei: An accident?


Pg.09:

Woman: Please help us! My baby is still there in the car.

My baby's going to die!

Ryuusei: The truck has smashed everything, I can't get him out.

That's bad. If I don't help him quickly the weight of the truck will
completely crush the car.


Pg.10:

Ryuusei: Uuungh.

Uaaargh! Useless. It doesn't move an inch.

Man: Get away. I'll do it!

Ryuusei: Huh?


Pg.11:

Man: Huaaah!


Pg.12:

Man: Huuunh!

Ryuusei: J... Just a little further.

The gasoline is leaking out!


Pg.13:

Ryuusei: Hurry up. Just a little bit.

Man: Nguuu!

Ryuusei: Yes! I got him!

Women: T... thank you so much.

Man: Ah!


Pg.14:

Man: Ouch ouch.


Pg.15:

Man: Wow. That was unexpected.

Is the child alright?

Woman: Thank you. Thank you so much.

You're really a life-saver!

Man: Ah... that's good.

By the way, say...


Pg.16:

Man: Could ya lend me some money?

10000 Yen *) should be enough.

*) Translators note: about US$ 95,- or Euro 85,-

Closing line: Tough Guyden. The man who succeeds the dragon. BATTLE.42 END
Next Episode: What about this new character...!?

Chapitre 43: https://1fichier.com/?c55g7immtu

And here's the translation of episode 43. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------

Pg.01:

Tough Guyden
The man who succeeds the dragon

Battle 43: Towards a rematch

Matsuki: I'm a pro-wrestler. Name's 'Dump Matsuki'.

Currently spending some free time. Not much work recently y'see.

Narration: Who is this man that suddenly appeared in front of him...!?

Ryuusei: As expected, you've got a huge appetite.


Pg.02:

Ryuusei: Oh - my name is Ryuusei.

Matsuki: Little Ryuu, right!?

Ryuusei: O... Ok!

Matsuki: You're a student? Or already working?

Ryuusei: I'm training to become a martial artist.

Matuski: Oh I see. The you're also a fighter, Little Ryuu?

Ryuusei: Uhm... well, a martial artist is somewhat different.

Although fighting is included there too.


Pg.03:

Matsuki: Obviously a martial artist has a more pure and refined
image than guys like me.

Ryuusei: A martial artists should be a role model.

And this is what I want to become too.

Matsuki: Oh me bad! I ended up eating through the whole reward we got.

Ryuusei: Don't worry 'bout that!

Matsuki: If it's a tank or a cruiser - the bigger it is, the more
fuel it needs. Sorry for that.

Ryuusei: But then again your superhuman strength, toughness
and courage also left a huge impression on me.

I was really amazed when you began lifting the tray of that truck.


Pg. 04:

Matsuki: I see it like that Spiderman guy from the movies: "With
big power comes big responsibility."

If we hadn't come to rescue the baby would have died.

His mother would have continued living her life full of
sadness and grief.

And the driver of that truck would have the death he caused
on his conscience for the rest of his life.


Pg.05:

Matsuki: In the end we just did what we had to do.
Helping as many people as possible.

Ryuusei: I really think that you're a great guy Matsuki. You acted without
hesitation and don't make a big fuss of it.

Matsuki: Tehehehe.

Seiko: That was a very long run, Ryuusei:

Ryuusei: I am sorry. But there was an accident.

But it in the end it all helped me to recharge my batteries.


Pg.06:

Ryuusei: So today it's grappling practice?

In fact I'm quite good at pinning techniques.

And I also mastered the general joint-locking techniques.

Seiko: Interesting. The come and show me all you got!


Pg.07:

Ryuusei: Hah...


Pg.08:

Ryuusei: Guah. That's a triangle lock.

But I know to get out of that one.


Pg.09:

Seiko: Not bad, Ryuusei.

Ryuusei: Th... thank you.

Seiko: But too naive!

This technique is more extreme!


Pg.11:

Ryuusei: Wh... what the heck is this...?

I... I can't breathe.

U...unable to move.

L... let me go.

W... why? Let me go already.


Pg.12:

Ryuusei: Mr.... Seiko

Se... sei...


Pg.13:

Ryuusei: Ah!

Hey! I tapped out countless times. Did you plan to kill me?

Seiko: As you see, you're not dead!

When you think that I'll stop when you tap out, then you'll
only get more naive.

You should take this serious.


Pg.14:

Ryuusei: That was a locking technique that looked like a very
irregular foot choke.

What the heck was that technique, Mr. Seiko.

Seiko: Nadashinkageryuus 'Kubikiri Hotoke'. *)

*) Translators note i.e.: 'Throat-cutting Buddha'

You should be able to master it once you've memorized some
basic points.
So concentrate!

Ryuusei: YES!


Pg.15:

Ryuusei: Mr. Seiko!

It seems they want to hold another 'Dark Fight'.

Message on cellphone:
From: Dark Fight headquarters
To: Mr. Mister Chin
Decision for holding the Dark Fight tournament.


Man: We received a reply from Ryuusei. He'll take part!


Pg.16:

Kiichi: So the 'Son of the dragon' who's trained by Oton will come?

That's as if he were to jump right into a fire after he doused
himself with gasoline.

Narration: The curtain to a new fight will...!?

Closing line: Tough Guyden. The man who succeeds the dragon. BATTLE.43 END
Next Episode: Ryuusei will meet...!?

Thx guys!

At list we see good ol' grappling tricks! This "throat cutting Buddha" remind me of a special submission from BJJ champion Nino Schembri...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzl8g3KHHh0

PS: Par contre la position de Kibo en tant que Big boss sur son siège en cuir, ça fait quand même caricature...On se croirait dans le "Bad Ending" street of rage pour ceux qui se rappellent...

Merci encore pour les scans et la traduction!!

J'adore ce manga mais j'ai un peu peur que le scénario ne soit bien simpliste. Chichi est trop "noir" en apparence, il n'y a aucun rapporta avec celui que nous avons suivi jusqu'à ses plus de 20 ans. Ce n'est pas crédible du tout.
Par contre, je prédis un décès de Seiko dans cette saison, lui aussi tué par Kiichi. Là je trouverais ça intéressant.
Autre point, avec la différence de niveau entre Seiko et chichi, je ne vois pas comment Ryussei pourra atteindre ne serait-ce que la cheville de Kiichi.

Pourquoi n'a t-on pas vu Galhad depuis que Kiichi s'est occupé de lui? Parce que Kiichi l'a guéri et comme Saruwatari veut conserver le suspense sur le comportement de Kiichi, il ne nous a rien dévoilé. Je persiste et signe, Kiichi n'est pas le méchant que l'on imagine et il se cache quelque chose derrière ses agissements

Bon je suis cette nouvelle série de loin mais j'ai beaucoup de mal avec le nouveau look de Kibo.
A chaque page j'ai l'impression de tomber sur une affiche Brice de Nice

Kiichi vs Seiko : " Je t'ai cassé"

Chapitre 44 : https://1fichier.com/?awuvigc8mm

Merci Shinta!

Décidément cette série est axée sur les combats aux règles tordues. à après le combat les yeux fermés on en est au combat attaché à la mode al capone!
Il manque que la boxe au verre pilé et on aura fait le tour

Sorry for this belated delivery of my translation, but I spent the last 9 days in Tokyo and only had
internet access via my smartphone there.
Gomen nasai! m(_ _)m
Anyway I'm now back (even though I wish I could have stayed in Tokyo) and here's the translation
of the latest chapter of Tough!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pg.01:

Tough Guyden
The man who succeeds the dragon

Narration: Once entering the 'Dark Fight' tournament...!?

Seiko: They say that the crows gather here because they can feast
on the flesh of the dead.

Battle 44: Indian Strap Deathmatch

Seiko: These crows know the taste of human flesh.


Pg.02:

Seiko: See ya...

Ryuusei: Huh? Won't you be coming with me Mr. Seiko?

Seiko: No. I've got other business to attend to.

Ryuusei: Oh my... and that after he told me how much he wanted to
stop Miyazawa Kichi.

Kei: Ah, the new star of the the Dark Fight is visiting again.

A hearty welcome to you Mister Chin!

Ryuusei: Is Galhad around?

Kei: You mean Legend M?

Well... the losers here have the tendency to just disappear, y'see.


Pg.03:

Kei: They're probably just dropped off by the roadside to die...

And become fodder for the crows... Hahaha.

Ryuusei: What's with this door?

Kei: Ah! That's the 'Owners room'.

Even participants and authorized people like us ain't allow
to pass beyond that door.


Pg.04:

Ryuusei: And "Owner" means...?

Kei: Some scary folks who got money and power like shit.

Everyone here calls them "The invincible Supermen" *)

Translators note: The original read is "Gaiseifubatsu no Choujin". Choujin
plainly translates into Superman/Uebermensch/Superhuman being, but I
had some troubles to figure out the exact meaning of Gaiseifubatsu **) which
is either a very obscure 4-Kanji idiom or a made-up one).

Translators note to translators note: And yes: I did do a wide check
both on the internet and through some special dictionaries sitting here in my
bookshelf


Pg.05:

Kei: So let's just stay away from the Owners room.

Because nobody who dared to enter there ever came out alive.

Ryuusei: .....

Kei: But stop thinking about such stuff and rather concentrate on
your match.

You're opponent today is a strong one after all.

Ryuusei: WHAT STENCH!!!


Pg.06:

Ryuusei: Why the hell does this place reek like a rotten cadaver?

Kei: Oh... this is the dressing room of your opponent.

Ryuusei: My opponent?

Kei: That guy got a separate room because all other fighters were
too disgusted by him.

Ryuusei: Today I won't need a blindfold?

Kei: Nope. It's a special rule match. Though some bandage is still
required.

Ryuusei: A special rule?


Pg.07:

Kei: You're done with your preparations?

Rysuusei: Ready if you are!

Kei: The let's go!


Pg.09:

Ryuusei: Ma... Mr. Matsuki

Mr. Dump Matsuki

Matsuki: Wow! If that ain't Little Ryuu!

Kei: Oh - so you two are acquaintance?

That's going to be interesting.

Ok. Please hold out your hand.

Ryuusei: Uhm. Wh... what?

Announcer: Let's get a bit more into detail on todays rules...


Pg.10&11:

Announcer: The next event in tonights Dark Fight will be a special
'Indian Strap Deathmatch"!

Man in the crowd: You can do it, Mister Chin!

Announcer: The opponents will fight while being connected by a leather
strap. And of course they may use the strap to beat or strangle
each other.

Man in the crowd: Your foe's huge, but he's also a blockhead!

Man in the crowd: I've bet all my money on you!

Man in the crowd: Dump, do it again tonight!

Announcer: Usual winning conditions for this fight would be downing
the opponent and touching one the four ring-posts - but in tonight's
special match victory only can be achieved by KO or by giving up.

Man in the crowd: The crowds outside are hungry! Hurry up and feed that
dwarf to them!


Pg.12:

Matsuki: The Dark Fight tournament ain't a place for a refined martial
artist.

There are a lot of nasty people among the fighters here, ya know!

Ryuusei: I knows but that's ok.

So you're a kinda regular here...?

Matsuki: Yup! But it seems that you've also been round here, Little Ryuu.

Anyway, this is business.

Me's a pro and that means it'll be no-holds-barred from now on.

So please Little Ryuu, don't do anything funny like holding back.
