- General Kazan.
- Zaki:
- Tatara has escaped safely.
- Zaki:

- Kazan:

[150]
- Hijiri:
- What a troublesome leader!
- Hijiri:
- That guy doesn't have...
- a bit of leadership sense.
- Hijiri:
- Still...
- I understand you a little better now,
- Tatara.
- Hijiri:
- People...
- worship you like a Savior.
- Hijiri:
- You've been able to gather all these allies.
- It's quite certain...

- Normally, I have my cutter in my pen stand like this.
- Picture 2:
- Therefore,

[151]
- Hijiri:
- Everyone...
- refuses to abandon you,
- Hijiri:
- not even someone as tearful—
- and weak as you.
- Soldiers:
- Who?
- Soldiers:
- Who is that?
- Hijiri:
- Listen up.
- Hijiri:
- We must guard Tatara.
- Hijiri:
- Until he calms down,
- we have to keep going—
[152]
- Sarasa:
- My eyes hurt...
- It's all blurry...
- Sarasa:
- The Nagi tree...
- is red...
- Sarasa:
- The Nagi tree is...
- burning...
- Sarasa:
- The Red King...
- Sarasa:
- He governs a desert land,
- and wants to make it greener.
- Sarasa:
- But he can burn this mountain...
- like it's nothing!
- Sarasa:
- He really is
- ...a demon.
[153]
- Sarasa:
- A demon of destruction...!
- Sarasa:
- I won't let you...
- kill any more people!
- Sarasa:
- Nagi Tree.
- Sarasa:
- Give me...
- your last bit of strength!
- Sarasa:
- To protect two people...!!
[154]
(Zaki is fighting Kazan.)
- Zaki:
- Chacha!
- Zaki:
- Get up!
- Zaki:
- Hurry and escape!
- This building won't last long!
- Zaki:
- Chacha!!
- Kazan:
- It's no use.
- She's already on her way to hell.
[155]
- Zaki:
- Shut up!
- Kazan:
- Guh
- Zaki:
- Guh
[156]
{sfx: thump thump thump thump}
{sfx: drip drip drip}
- Voice:
- The child is born.
- Our late leader's child.
- Man:
- It's a girl.
- {sfx: waah waah}
- Man:
- Too bad... Just a girl, huh?
- Woman:
- Zaki-chan...
- Woman:
- Take care of that child, okay.
- Woman:
- Do it for me, please...
- Young Zaki:
- Ma'am.
- Young Zaki:
- Ma'am.
[157]
- Pirate:
- We can't help it if it's a girl.
- Pirate:
- It's the rule.
- Whoever marries this girl will be the next leader.
Chacha and them were pirates.
- Pirate:
- Zaki,
- as the son of our associate leader,
- you will marry her someday.
- Young Zaki:
- Chacha...
- Young Chacha:
- I'm the leader's child.
- How come I can't be the leader?!
- Young Zaki:
- 'Cause you're a girl.
- Young Chacha:
- Who decided that?
- Young Zaki:
- Our ancestors.
- Young Chacha:
- Those old goonies aren't here!
- I don't know them!
- {sfx: pout}
[158]
- Young Chacha:
- It'll be okay if I'm strong, right?!
- Young Chacha:
- Then they'll have to accept me, right?!
- Young Chacha:
- I'll do men's work.
- Young Chacha:
- I'll become stronger than a man.
- Young Chacha:
- The strongest one should be the leader.
- No one can argue against that.
- Pirate:
- Chacha beat them all!
- That's 30 guys in a row!
[159]
- Pirate:
- What weaklings.
- Pirate:
- Zaki! You're the only one left.
- Voice:
- If you win, you'll be the leader!
- Young Zaki:
- Chacha...
- should be our leader.
- Young Chacha:
- Ain't too ambitious, are you?
- Zaki:
- I do have an ambition.
- I do have a wish.
- Only one.
[160]
- Zaki:
- That is to be with you.
- Zaki:
- In these times...
- Zaki:
- In these hard times...
- Zaki:
- How difficult it must be...
- to live as an independent woman.
- Zaki:
- But,
- if you want to,
- Zaki:
- if you choose...
- to suffer through it,
- Zaki:
- then I...
- will become your shadow.
- Zaki:
- My heart has already decided...
- on the morning you were born.
(Zaki takes off his armor.)
[161]
- Zaki:
- I'll be with you...
- to the very end.
- Zaki:
- OOOOOH
[162]
- Zaki:
- {sfx: pant pant pant}
[163]
- Zaki:
- Chacha...
- Zaki:
- Chacha.
- Zaki:
- Let's go.
(Zaki notices that the building has burned through all around them, and they're trapped.)
[164]
(Meanwhile, Chigusa is being escorted by two Red soldiers.)
- Red Soldier:
- Aaaahh
- {sfx: kyah—}
(A nearby blast kills them, freeing Chigusa. She takes one of their swords, and heads back to the compound.)
- Kakujî:
- Chigusa?!
[165]
(Sarasa arrives at the burning compound with Yato.)
- Sarasa:
- Zaki!
- Sarasa:
- Chacha!
- Sarasa:
- Answer me—
- Sarasa:
- Zaki!
- Chacha!
- Zaki:
- Tatara!
[166]
- Zaki:
- Tatara.
- Zaki:
- Please.
- Zaki:
- Catch her.
(Zaki throws Chacha towards Tatara.)
[167]
- Chacha:
- Ugh...
- Sarasa:
- Zaki!
(Zaki falls into the fires below.)
[168]
- Nagi:
- A flame...went out.
- Nagi:
- Whose... flame of life...
- Nagi:
- Amen...
[169]
- Sarasa's men:
- Nagi-sama?!
- Nagi-sama.
- Sarasa:
- Zaki...
- Chacha:
- Za...ki...
- Chacha:
- No...
- Chacha:
- It can't be.
- Sarasa:
- Chacha...
- Chacha:
- No.
- Chacha:
- NOOO!!!
[170]
- Sarasa:
- Chacha...
- Chacha:
- Waaaaah
- Sarasa:
- {sfx: pant pant pant pant}
- I know...
- no prayers.
- Sarasa:
- {sfx: pant pant pant pant}
- Nagi, Kakujî,
- Hayato, everybody...
- Sarasa:
- {sfx: pant pant pant pant}
- Shuri...
- Dear God, please protect them.
- Hijiri:
- Tatara!!
[171]
- Sarasa:
- Yato!
- Let's go!!
- Hijiri:
- TATARAAAA—
[172]
- Shuri:
- {sfx: chomp}
-> bean-jam bun
- Shuri:
- Yo, Sakaki.
munch munch
Can't fight on an empty stomach.
- Sakaki:
- Water, Sir?
- Shuri:
- Bring me...
- Kazan.
- {sfx: lick lick}
- Shuri:
- He was probably using Tatara's mother...
- as a lure to capture Tatara.
- Shuri:
- {sfx: gulp gulp}
- Don't you think so?
- Sakaki:
- Red King!
- Sakaki:
- Do you mean to pardon the General?!
- Shuri:
- {sfx: slurp}
- Even if he's nothing but flesh and bones,
- just bring him here.
- Sakaki:
- Ye...yes Sir!
- Shuri:
- Hurry!
[173]
(A bloody Kazan struggles along a wall, and sees Chigusa.)
[174]
- Kazan:
- Use that sword...
- and get your revenge.
- Kazan:
- Tatara has...
- Kazan:
- It's such a shame.
- He got away.
- Kazan:
- {sfx: cough}
- {sfx: drip drip drip}
- Kazan:
- Come on.
- Kazan:
- Please.
- Kazan:
- Make it quick.
[175]
- Chigusa:
- Can't you...
- join forces...
- with Tatara?
- Kazan:
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Kazan:
- No matter what,
- I will always be known as Kazan,
- great general of the Red Army.
- Sakaki:
- General!
- Sakaki:
- General Kazan!
[176]
- Sakaki:
- General...
- Sakaki:
- General.
- Sakaki:
- The Red King has pardoned you!
- Please come back with me!
- Kazan:
- I...have betrayed the Red King...
- Sakaki:
- No!
- Sakaki:
- You...
- used Tatara's mother...
- in order to capture Tatara, right?
- Sakaki:
- The Red King understands!
- Kazan:
- That's not true!!
[177]
- Kazan:
- I knew...
- about Tatara's mother.
- Kazan:
- Miss Chigusa has captured my heart.
- Kazan:
- It was my decision.
- Kazan:
- That is no lie.
- Kazan:
- I absolutely,
- absolutely,
- did not use Miss Chigusa!!
- Sakaki:
- General,
- please accept the King's mercy.
[178]
- Kazan:
- Miss Chigusa.
- Kazan:
- I wish to
- commit harakiri.
(Note: Harakiri, or seppuku, is a ritual suicide.
Many warriors consider this the only way to redeem their honor after shameful conduct.
The person committing suicide first recites a death-poem, then he makes 3 cuts in his own stomach.
The person standing behind him (called kaishaku or his "second") will then chop off his head.)
- Young Shuri:
- Kazan,
- you must be so tactless.
- Young Shuri:
- That's why you're sent to serve a kid like me,
- in this middle-of-nowhere desert.
- Young Shuri:
- But,
- if you follow me,
- you'll have fun.
[179]
- Young Shuri:
- I'll definitely...
- show you the world.
[180]
- Kazan:
- With a red flag...
- and a body...
- on fire...
[181]
- Kazan:
- I charge up...
- the hills of Adashino.
(I think Adashino refers to Adashino Nembutsuji,
once a common burial ground. It literally means "field of sorrow.")
- Kazan:
- And keep charging.
- Kazan:
- Into the other world.
- Sakaki:
- General!
- Sakaki:
- General—
- Kazan:
- For the Red King!
- Kazan:
- Guh.
(Kazan stabs into his gut.)
[182]
- Sakaki:
- Kazan!
- General—!!
- Kazan:
- Miss...Chi...gusa...
[183]
- Chigusa:
- Ah...
[184]
(The image of Buddha appears.)
- Chigusa:
- Amida Nyorai-sama...
(Amida Nyorai is another name for Buddha.)
[185]
- Hayato:
- How is Tatara?
- Hayato:
- Where is he?
- Hijiri:
- I don't know!
- Hijiri:
- God knows where that fool is.
- Hijiri:
- That fool has...
- Tengu member:
- By the time we got here...
- the building had collapsed!
- He already had his hands full carrying Chacha out.
- Hayato:
- Tatara. Damn it!
- Hayato:
- If only I'd been there!
[187]
(Sarasa comes out of the burning building with Yato, carrying Zaki.)
- Sarasa:
- Is everybody...
- okay?
- Sarasa:
- {sfx: stagger}
- That's...good.
- Voice:
- Tatara!
- Hijiri:
- Tatara!
Shinbashi has fainted.
- Sarasa:
- I'm...
- fine.
Ou-ouch.
- Sarasa:
- Look after...
- Zaki...
- and Yato...
- Voices:
- He's badly burned.
- Voices:
- But still alive.
- Voices:
- Get the doctor!
- Voices:
- Tatara!
- You too.
- Your eyes need to be treated!
- Let's head back.
- Chacha:
- Tatara. Tatara. Tatara...
- Sarasa:
- Chacha...
[188]
- Hayato:
- Wait!
- Hayato:
- It's the Red Army!
- Rebel:
- Get down.
- Rebel:
- Should we fire some arrows?
- Rebel:
- Don't! We've got injured people with us.
- Rebel:
- At the front, could that be...
- Rebel:
- Ah.
- It's the Red King.
- Sarasa:
- The Red King?!
[189]
- Sarasa:
- The Red King...
- Sarasa:
- That's the Red King.
- Sarasa:
- The Red...
[190]
- Sarasa:
- The Red...
- Sarasa:
- I can't see.
- Sarasa:
- I can't see...anything.
- End of Chapter -
