1 Hotaru: [Now that he's got the flame markings, Shinrei's ability to control water exceeds even Fubuki's...] Shinrei: *manly scream UOOOOOO!!* Text: Does the bond of brothers surpass even the gods!? ("gods" is surtitled with "Taishirou") 2 Shinrei: UOOOOOO!! 3 Hotaru: They're... equal!? Shinrei: *more UOOOOOO!!* (kind of sounds like a cow...) 4 Shinrei: UOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Fubuki: *Something really tiny that's basically along the lines of squishing Taihaku and Saisei in the palm of his hand like insects.* Shinrei: Taihaku... Saisei... 5 Shinrei: Please, watch my fight...!! Shinrei: *more UOOOOO-ing* Hotaru: Shinrei is pushing him back...!? Fubuki: ...Are you quite sure you want to do that? Fubuki: Very well... watch and see... Fubuki: My full power!! 6 Hotaru: Shinrei...!! 7 no text 8 no text, but doesn't it look like Fubuki is going "Talk to the hand, girl!"? 9 Hotaru: ...Shinrei Fubuki: I've crushed your internal organs... you shouldn't be able to move after such a shock... Shinrei: Gah... Fubuki: I have shown you the true power of the Taishirou... I suppose I ought to be merciful. Shinrei: Gah... I won't... forgive you... Fubuki: ...You're so childish, Shinrei... Shinrei: Nothing in the world can be brought to life by anger alone... Fubuki: Not the beautiful dance of battle, not victory, not the future... Shinrei: Gaah... Shinrei: [What do I do now...?! What can I do to win against that monster...!?] 10 Ashura: (Whoa... this is hard to see, but it's something about all the dark energy around his left hand) Ashura: (And how he's going to use to to send Kyo to hell) Julian: Kyo... Julian: [He's willing to use the Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Ougi "Genbu"... That Kyo... has he turned his back on Nee-chan? It feels like he's really ready to kill her...] Julian: "Genbu"... Muramasa: Ah, swordsmith-sama, "Genbu" is a sacred beast symbolised by both the tortise and the entwining snakes... Muramasa: I suppose you could say that the Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Ougi "Genbu" is the embodiment of that beast. Julian: Huh? Enbodiment of a beast...? That all sounds kinda hokey, don't you have a real explanation? Muramasa: It's a secret! 11 Julian: Yeah, yeah, I get it. That Jinpuu Ryuu stuff is practically sacred, so I know you can't tell me. Julian: But don't you know that to use the best techniques, you've got to have the best sword to go with them?! So, what kind of attack is this "Genbu" thing? Muramasa: Ah, but if I tell you, you'll just go spilling the secret to your wife so she'll think better of you! Julian: what...? Julian: Muramasa, you bastard!! You used your Satori and read my mind!! Muramasa: Do you think I need Satori to see something like that? Muramasa: ...It's painfully obvious... Muramasa: But swordsmith-san, you always forget important things as soon as you've heard them... Muramasa: Won't you be coming to me later saying "I forgot, tell me again?" Muramasa: In short, the "Genbu" technique is... Julian: ...I forgot!! (And at the worst possible time...) Julian: Damn you, Muramasa!! Tell me again!! 12 Ashura: I, Ashura... Ashura: Will kill you... Julian: Nee-chan...!! Julian: No way... has that "Medusa Eye" already eaten her soul...!? Ashura: Core High Crusher!! (dumbest...attack name... ever...) 13 Julian: Wh... what!? Julian: What amazing speed! Kyo must be planning to dodge that... (bad trans, but that's the gist) Julian WHAT?! KYO, YOU IDIOT! MOVE...!! Kyo: Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Ougi "Genbu"... 14 Julian: He... he stopped her attack with the wind!? Ashura: Shit... Ashura: Gah... 15 Julian: Oh no! She's breaking through!! Ashura: AHHHHHHHHHH!! Ashura: DIE!!!!!!!!! 16 Ashura: !? Ashura: He lowered the wall of wind!? But why...!? 17 Ashura: What...!? Ashura: Snakes...!? I can't move - I'm bound and tangled by demon whirlwind snakes!? (sorry for the clunky sentence) Ashura: No... Let me go...!! Ashura: It feels like this wind is going to tear me to pieces... Ashura: What happened to the sky...!? (Notice that it looks like a tortise shell, hence the "Genbu" name - Genbu [turtle], Suzaku [phoenix], Byakko [tiger] and Seiryuu [dragon] are the 4 sacred beasts) Julian: The sky, too!? What was it he said...!? Julian: This isn't "Genbu"... that's supposed to be a sacred tortise or snake... Julian: I remember... Muramasa: Swordsmith-san... "Genbu" is... Muramasa: A technique that returns the universe to nothingness... 18 Muramasa: [The guardian deity of the heavens, Genbu, is reflected in the illusory universe... the sky becomes a tortise shell, the air turns to snakes...] Muramasa: [Heaven and Earth are enveloped by a wall of atmosphere, in which the wind tears madly... Nothing has ever escaped that technique. A totally impenetrable prison... it is certain death. Kyo: You are trapped... Kyo: Between heaven and earth... Ashura: Shit... Ashura: I can't move...!! 19 Text: With the annihilation of Akari, is this the end of the Shiseiten!? Hotaru: ...Akari-chan? Text: Next chapter - The importance of friendship!!
