Saike Once Again 108

That's two for tonight. Maybe another two this week? Hmmm.



Take 108: Last action hero (1)

002
(Sfx- Bokohhh ploop)
(Sfx- Pukuhhh pppoit)
Silva: We've arrived.
(Sfx- Basaaaah fwap)

003
Silva: This is as much as I can do.
Kuzushiro Saike...
I leave the rest to you.
You have to stop him...
Stop Johann...!
Saike: Why me?

004
Silva: It might be a poor choice of words but....
you and Johann are similar in a way.
To be exact...
You're like “Two sides of the same coin.”
Both of you...
For the sake of someone else abandoned everything to seek out strength.
If I had to say what the major difference is between you two....is while one strives for everyone...
The other only acts for oracle holders.

005
Silva: I can do nothing to save him.
That's why perhaps I've been waiting...
Waiting all this time for someone like you to appear.
Johann truly believes what he's doing is right.
And the only one who can set his twisted sense of justice right is a person like you.

006
Saike: You've overestimated me, Silva.
Everything I've done was for my own self interests....
Perhaps...all I really wanted was for my existence to have some meaning.
It's because of what's happening now that I've come to realize it.
I mean, it makes sense right?
(Sfx- Zath zatsh sfft)
Saike: It's because of the things I've done over and over again...
That my most precious friend ended up in this situation.
(Sfx- Gyuuh guyyh grrnd grrind)

007
(Sfx- Bunnn fwisssh)
Saike: I'm the worst.
(Sfx- Doshaah thudd)
Saike: If I want to save Johann....
I'll need to abandon my oracle.

008
(Sfx- Oooooooohhh whooooom)
Saike: Now...
For my final performance.
(TN- He says “Last Action” in Japanese as a reference to the movie, but that doesn't jive well with the sentence before it. So while I am aware this is totally different, it makes more grammatical sense in English.)
(Sfx- Babababababab fwoopfwoopfwoop)

009
(Sfx- DON booom)
Johann: Saike.
Leave the Lesser Panda there.
Once Calim has used his chains to collect it, I will release your friend as promised.

010
Johann: It's a trade for your precious friend.
Mikan: Saike!!
Saike!!
(Sfx- Bishii wfft)
Saike: Johann....

011
Saike: Negotiations have failed.
I will stop you.
For Sumire-san's sake.

012
Calim: You fool!!
Then it's curtains for your friend!!
Chains “Unlocked”!!!!
(Sfx- Zuruhhh Sfft)

013
Mikan: Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Calim: Ahahahahahaahah!!!!
Calim: Saike! You've gone and killed that poor girl!!
All because you had to go and play hero!!!
Ahahaahahahahaahah

014
Saike: Heroes don't act alone.
Calim: Hah?
What are you talking about?
We've checked for Yumewo and your friends Ana and Hizu...!!
None of them are going to come running to your rescue and there are no other oracle holders here!!
Knock off the calm and collected act, Saike!!!

015
Saike: No, being calm is what makes a Hero.
???: Calm you say?
I think that works out.
Dealin' with situations with a cool head!
Bro, it's admirable how you make bread!!
(Sfx- Dododododo)
???: So!!

016
Kotarou: Comin' up behind the hero in need, is the strongest back-up, ya'll better take heed!!

017
(Sfx- DOONN Booom)
Calim: Who....
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?
(Handwritten- Is that a balloon?)

018
Koutarou: You did good calling on me!!
Otsujirou's savior –Saike!!
I'll protect your friend even if it costs me my life!!
Saike: You made a mistake thinking that the only people you had to fear was the ones you marked.
Heroes can exist anywhere.
I'm right, aren't I?
Johann.
