SDK Chapter 227 - A Chance Meeting... For the Fourth Time 1 Yuya: N... no, that's not possible... Yuya: N... Nozomu-niisama... Sasuke: The... the sixth demon lord is him...? No way... Akari: But... but why would he be in Nozomu's body...!? Hishigi: .... Kyo: Come out, you monster... Nobunaga: I have been resurrected again... Nobunaga: Yes... 2 Nobunaga: [The Sixth Lord of Hell can never die!!] Nobunaga: It is I, the true Lord of Demons, Oda Nobunaga!! 3 Sasuke: What the... how the hell did this happen!? Sasuke: I thought Nobunaga's soul was in Onime no Kyo's body!! Sasuke: Now he's in the body of Yuya-neechan's older brother!? What happened to Onime no Kyo's body!? Kyo: .... Akari: I... I don't know how it's possible, but I can see it with my own eyes, so it must be true... Yuya: No... no... Yuya: What... what did you do with Nozomu-niisama!? Yuya: N... Nozomu-niisama!! Nozomu-niisama!! Speak to me!! Nozomu-niisama!! Yuya: Nozomu-niisama!! Nobunaga: Gah... Nobunaga: Shut the hell up, woman... Nobunaga: His body is reacting to your goddamned voice... damn it... 4 Nobunaga: I won't allow it!! Sasuke: Ah!! Akari: Kyaa!! Ah!! Akari: It's no use... his soul is too strong... Nobunaga has taken over... Akari: At this rate, if Nobunaga goes out of control, Nozomu's soul will be destroyed... Yuya: No... that's... Akari: [How... how could this happen!? A shaman like him, being treated like a doll...] Akari: [And I know *he's* involved somehow... how long is he going to hide himself...? Hishigi: .... Akari: [...Hishigi!!] 5 Nobunaga: Hehehe... This body is even better than I thought... almost too good... Nobunaga But even now, he denies any knowledge of the secret... Nobunaga: But it's just a matter of time before I consume his soul... Nobunaga: I'll consume him entirely!! Nobunaga: He knew the truth...and soon his memories, along with the secret of the Mibu, will be mine!! Nobunaga: With the secret that even the Taishirou don't know as my advantage, the Mibu will bow to me!! The world will be mine!! 6 Sasuke: [...Even the Taishiurou don't know!?] Sasuke: [Whose memories is he talking about!?] Nobunaga: He wanted one thing... hehehe... Nobunga: And that was... Nobunaga: His hatred for the Mibu Clan and Mibu Kyoushirou was such that... Nobunaga: He gave up his own soul and called me forth from the depths of hell, so that I may lend my power to his goals! Yuya: Nii-sama... hated Kyoushirou...? Nobunaga: But there's someone he hated above all others. Do you know who that is? It's you, Kyo... Nobunaga: You, the man who ruined his life... Kyo: .... 7 Nobunga: [Tenma Mukurode!!!] (Or "Demon Corpse Hand, if you prefer) Sasuke: What the hell is that!? Kyo: [Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Ougi - Suzaku!!] 8 Nobunaga: I see you've grown... Nobunaga: But that was only a test... 9 Sasuke: He... he... Sasuke: He withstood Onime no Kyo's Suzaku!? And that was just a test...!! Sasuke: He's way stronger than he was in the Sea of Trees!! Nobunaga: Hehehe... Nobunaga: This is fun... so very fun, Kyo... Nobunaga: HAHAHA!! You've improved, Kyo... so much stronger!! Nobunaga: But you're stronger... because you have to be!! Otherwise, I'll crush you!! Akari: Ah!! Sasuke: He's even crazier!! Kyo: ...This is the fourth time we've been through this, Nobunaga... Nobunaga: Ah, that's right... 10 Nobunaga: You've given me a reason to continue living... so it's four times, now... Nobunaga: ... But this is the last!! Sasuke: ...What is he saying!? Akari: .... Akari: There has always been a grudge between them... they both want to rule the world. Sasuke: Huh!? They want to do *what*!? Sasuke: Rule the world!? 11 Akira: I mean, it's just logical, right? The strongest man in the world has to stand at the top - he has to unite everything under him. Akira: And of course, if Kyo rules the country, then as the second strongest person in the world, I'll fight anybody who opposes him! Hotaru: But I'm the second strongest. And eventually I'll be number one. Akira: What are you talking about, Hotaru!? Obviously I'm the second strongest!! Hotaru: Okay, then I'm the strongest. Akira: But Hotaru!! Akari: .... Akari: Ruling the world? I didn't expect that. Akari: I didn't think you were the type to worry about social status, Kyo. Kyo: ...I don't really care about that. Akari: Always so evasive!! Don't be like that... let's plan our future together~!! (I just want to be your wife~!) Bon: It's stupid to wait around. Bon: If you want to rule the world, you've got to get your act together... You live to fight... Bon: A loser like that who just sits around waiting for the battle to start... how's he gonna rule the world? (And that Akira doesn't know what he's talking about.) 12 Kyo: You talk a lot for a dumb animal... I'll kill you. Bon: Ooh, I hit a nerve! You've got muscles for brains!! Akari: Uh oh, Kyo is exactly that kind of guy... Akari: Hey!! Who are you calling a loser!? Kyo: Who? Let's see... Kyo: "Fight for your own sake"... yeah. That's what the man who taught me the true meaning of battle said. Kyo: And... I never could beat him. Bon: Hey, quit acting all cool!! Come over here and I'll beat the shit out of you!! Akari: .... Akari: And soon after that, we Shiseiten and Kyo faced the resurrected Nobunaga at Sekigahara. Sasuke: What!? So Onime no Kyo wants to fight his sword enemy, Nobunaga, so he can take over the world!? 13 Akari: ...When Kyo fought Nobunaga at Sekigahara, his expression was indescribably overjoyed... Akari: He was so happy... Sasuke: [It was the same in the Sea of Trees.] Sasuke: [Those two are...] Sasuke: [Grinning...!?] Sasuke: [But... is that really Onime no Kyo's true reason for fighting?] Sasuke: [They say Kyo was just a kid when he fought Nobunaga at Honnouji Temple...] Sasuke: [...I wonder what the story to their relationship is...] Kyo: Come on, Nobunaga... show me what you can really do... Nobunaga: There's no rush... but very well... Nobunaga: I shall show you my new power... 14 Nobunaga: It's been so long, but finally it is in my hand once more... my beloved sword, Samonji... Nobunaga: I hear the cry of its soul!! Sasuke: Whoa... that light...!! Sasuke: Nobunaga.... Sasuke: Can communicate with his sword!? Nobunaga: Take this, Kyo!! 15 Nobunaga: Tenma Ryouga Kouran!!! (Best to leave this in Japanese - translates as "Zombie Riot", hahaha) 16 Kyo: Gah!! Yuya: Kyo!! Sasuke: This is bad!! Sasuke: [THat Nobunaga can talk to his sword...] Sasuke: [Kyo can't hear Tenrou speak... he's at a big disadvantage here!!] Nobunaga: Hehe... Nobunaga: Hehehehehe.... 17 Nobunaga: HAHAHAHAHA!! Thanks to that Nozomu and his body, I can do things that were once impossible!! Nobunaga: I will grow even stronger... incredibly strong! There is no limit!! Yuya: N... Nii-sama... Kyo: Heh... Kyo: Stronger, huh? You won't be on my level for a billion years... Nobunaga: Hehehe... then how about a little fun~? 18 Nobunaga: Ha!! Sasuke: What the...!? Akari: It can't be... he's using a shaman's spells!? Akari: But... that's not possible! Nobunaga is just a samurai... Akari: No... 19 Hishigi: Yes, #13... you have guessed correctly. Hishigi: Nobunaga is now #7... with his power, he can raise demon soldiers... Hishigi: #7, whose body Nobunaga currently inhabits, is the strongest of all shamans... One of his many abilities is to read minds... he can see the memories of anyone he touches. Hishigi: He can even call the dead... perhaps you will remember them from your forgotten past... Sasuke: Th... they're... Hishigi: And you see... Hishigi: He can restore the mortal bodies of these lost souls... 20 Hishigi: And he can even bring back those who have fallen into the land of the dead, making them into his own immortal army... 21 no text
