Tora: What the...
Tora: This tension is insane...!!  Their souls are speaking... Have I ever felt anything like this before...?!
Tora: A... Akira!?
Akira: *grunt*
Tora: Bon-han, you too...!?
Bon: *grunt*

9
Bon: Now this... was worth coming for... It's even better than I thought it would be... the battle between those two...
Bon handwritten: But he's got that wounded body...
Bon: Whoa... what's up with me... I'm breaking out in a cold sweat...
Tora: Huh...?
Akari: ...My head hurts...
Akari: It's that weird noise...
SFX: *heartbeat noises*
Akari: It's coming from them...
Akari: Yes... that's right...
Akari: It's the sound of the deep loneliness of their hearts...!!

10
Kyo: Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Ougi:
Kyo: "Suzaku!!"
SFX: *fire*

11
Tora: What the!?
Tora: Suzaku... disappeared!?

12
Kyo: Che!!
SFX: *assorted battle noises*

13
Kyo: "Byakko!!"
Tora: Byakko disappeared too!?  (What the hell is going on here...!?)
Tora: [Kyoushirou-han just deflects all of Kyo-han's attaks with his sword!!
Akira: ...They're cancelling eachother out.
Akira: Let me put this match in terms everyone can understand...
Akira: Basically, this is a contest of power, not necessarily skill. They have to attack with full strength, but also defend with full strength.
Akira: You could call it a battle of "yin" and "yang"....

14
Akira: Kyo's style isn't Mibu Kyoushirou's style.
Akira: Kyoushirou can nullify Kyo's "yin" attacks.
Akira: An offensive style that can be blocked is worth nothing...
Kanji behind Kyoushirou: "yin"
Akira: His attacks are useless against his "Sword of Yin!!"
Tora: Sword of yin...?
Akira: I wonder if he beat Kyo like this four years ago... no wonder... I suppose I made a serious misjudgement...
Tora: Huh!?
Akira: They are both masters of the same art of wind manipulation, Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu... but...

15
Akira: It's the very nature of those swords to oppose eachother like yin and yang!!
Akira: This is the worst kind of opponent for Kyo, whose "yang" sword style is based on power!
Kanji in background: "yang"
Tora: This sounds bad...
Akira: And that's not the worst of it...
Tora: WHAT!?
Akira: Kyo has to block his opponent perfectly... one tiny imperfection and he'll take the blow without one to stop it...
Akira: Yes...
Akira: This man...
Kyoushirou: Hey, Kyo...

16-17
Akira: [Without a doubt... this man is stronger!!]
Kyoushirou: You don't have time to play around...
Akira: [He's beyond Kyo...!!]
Kyoushirou: With all my power... I will tear you to pieces...!!

18
Aka-chan: ....
Yuya: Kyoushirou...
Yuya: Is that Kyoushirou's real body!?
Kyoushirou: This battle has been four years in the making...
Kyoushirou: There can be no compromise - I will carve my victory in history!
Kyoushirou: This time, you will die!!
Flashback Kyoushirou: I can't... I can't do it!!
Kyoushirou: I will not hesitate like I did four years ago!!

19
Yuya: Four years ago...
Yuya: [What happened...?]
Yuya: [What could have happened between those two....!?]
Kyoushirou: ....You, Kyo.  You broke our promise.
Kyoushirou: We had a promise....
Kyoushirou: We promised to protect Sakuya...
Flashback Kyo: [I will... kill Sakuya...] (YAY.)
Kyoushirou: But...

20
Kyoushirou: I will not let you kill Sakuya!!
Yuya: !!
Kyoushirou: You brushed off her feelings for you... you intended to kill her...
Kyoushirou: But I will kill you here!!
