RYOKO 37

Almost forgot that I had a second one of these done today. I should focus on this until I'm done all of them since there isn't much left, really.

MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuzzu dooooom)
Kogarashi: So what are you gonna do, missy?
Everything before your eyes is your enemy.
(Bottom text- Kogarashi, Parsley, Broccoli. Despair looks down upon Ryoko....)
Kogarashi: Better not wimp out on me now...
Or do you want to drink up your friends deaths for a third time?
Ryoko: I won't let that happen....

003
Kogarashi: Heheh....Missy, maybe I'll have to show you that you've been dreaming a little too long.

004
Ryoko: There's no way you can show me anything.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuzu doooooom)
Kogarashi: Ah...
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on a minute...
I'll go kill one of 'em right now,
just listen out for the scream!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
(Sfx- Bagooohh fwhooom)

005
(Sfx- Dooouhh THOK)
Ryoko: Uughhhh
Kogarashi: Hah!

006
Ryousuke: Sis!!
Kogarashi: The world that you cling so desperately to is tiny!!
(Sfx- Zazazaaaa ssshshhhhh)
(Sfx- Gagagagagaga tmptmpmtmp)
(Sfx- Gokaah crack)
Ryoko: Kughhh!
(Sfx- Bitsuhh spitt)
Kogarashi: C'mon, the chin again?

007
Kogarashi: You've learned nothing!!
(Sfx- Booooh fwhoooom)
(Sfx- Guuhh grnnd)
(Sfx- Bitaaaannn thk)
Ryoko: Ngh.
My arm....
(Sfx- Futushhh shffft)

008
Parsley: You didn't forget about me, did you?
(Sfx- Gogonnn chewww)
Kogarashi: Hey, you've left your head wide open.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuhhh)
Kogarashi: You've been spouting childish crap this whole time,
Stuff like “fight me” and so on...
Stuff that even your mother wouldn't be able to stop laughing at.

009
(Sfx- Zudoooh thooom)
(Sfx- Gorogorogoro spinnnn)
(Sfx- Dooooooo whooooom)
Kogarashi: And now look at you.
You can't even protect yourself.
Have you come to your senses yet?
{I knew it....it's like he's....}
Ryoko: A northern wind.
Kogarashi: Huh?

010
Ryoko: See...
As much as you injure me, you can't break my will.
You're no more than a passing wind.
Kogarashi: ….Am I that easy to figure out?
HUH?!
(Sfx- Gooohh thokk)
(Sfx- Dogaaaah Thuuud)

011
Kogarashi: I was thinking you'd wise up, missy...
But forget it.
(Sfx- Zubooh plook)
{I haven't been able to protect them yet?}
(Sfx- Dooon thooom)
Kogarashi: Just die here without being able to protect anything...
including the friends you're watching over.
{Everyone...}

012
Rere: Why don't you rely on your big sis a little?
Ryousuke: Sis!!
Teacher: Be careful and carry on.
(Sxf- Zattshhh Sffft)

013
(Sfx- Gunnn grinnnd)
(Sfx- Dakaaahhh crack)
(Sfx- Doshaaah thooom)
Kogarashi: Whew...
(Sfx- Gooooooo whooooom)

014
Kogarashi: Hahahahah!
This is a scream!!
You actually came here with your halfassed attitude hoping you won't have to cut anyone!
You're nothing more than trash who weighs each person and considers them equal!
What I hate the most are people who don't have a firm grip on reality and only eat and sleep.
Ryoko: My reality is...
one which I protect everyone.
To be scolded by my older sister, to look after a boy,
and be cheered on by my family who's always looking out for me...
I am not someone who can live on my own.

015
Ryoko: I want to be someone who can rise above despair and sadness....
a wise and rational person who is both strong in body and heart,
however...
(Sfx- Boro boro drip drip)
Ryoko: But you who has everything....
is just extremely cold.
You have ice in your veins...
that you can't accept.

016
(Sfx- Jyakaaah clack)
Kogarashi: Stop it.
Don't look at me like that.
I have everything?!
Don't screw with me.
Why are you crying?
If you have time to feel sorry for me...
(Sfx- Dooohh whoooom)
Kogarashi: Then you can lose everything with a smile!!

017
{Listen Ryoko.}
{I've taught you how to hunt.}
{Not to kill.}
{I'm truly sorry master.}
Ryoko: Sympathy? No, that's not it.
Teacher: Don't become mistaken and cut down people.
There's too much of that karma for us as is.
{If I want to protect everyone...}
{Then I have no choice but to ready my weapon.}

018
(Sfx- Zooooon tslaaash)
Ryoko: This is self hatred and nothing else.
