Translations of this chapter, but with different styling/content are also available - a plain text version and also a text version with all the original Japanese for the speech and sound effects. Translation notes and style Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly recommend buying the tankoubon (collected version, each about 180 pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available (typically 3-4 months after the weekly Shonen Sunday release), and the first 15 volumes are now on sale. Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, and violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version. ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 1 1 [Ryuukossei, still mostly in the cliff, and Inuyasha face off.] Ryuukossei Brat...

Toutousai That's the only thing I can think of. ... In which case, 2 [Closeup side view of Toutousai, making a point.] Toutousai there is only one way to defeat the revived Ryuukossei, hit it with the Bakuryuuha... 3 [View of Kagome and Toutousai.] Kagome Bakuryuu-... what's that? Toutousai It's Tetsusaiga's Ougi, as it were. 4 [Kagome and Toutousai look back at Miroku.] Miroku You say Ougi, so... you mean it's greater than the "Cutting Wind" then? Toutousai The Cutting Wind is like a beginner's attack. -------- [COMMENTS] For such a short word, 'Ougi' is rather hard to explain. Imagine a school of martial arts - the 'Ougi' would only be know to the master of the entire school, and maybe some others. It basically indicates the ultimate grade, typically for things like martial art attacks, or spells and so on. Bakuryuuha is a bit weird/vague (like most 'special attack' names), but translates something like "explosive-style-attack". The '-ha' at the end is often used as a suffix in special attack names and the kanji basically means 'destory'. ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 13 1 [Closeup of Kagome and Toutousai.] Kagome But that's... Inuyasha can barely swing Tetsusaiga, let alone do the Cutting Wind. To say nothing of doing the Ougi... Toutousai I guess it's impossible. 2 [Something small bounces off Sango's shoulder pads and onto Miroku's shoulder.] fx thing *boing* Miroku Hn? 3 [Miroku slaps his shoulder.] fx Miroku {comically} slap fx Myouga {comically} *squish* 4 [Miroku holds out Myouga.] Miroku Myouga-sama, abandoned Inuyasha again? fx Myouga {comically} *flutter...* Myouga Gwhaa. 5 [Closuep of Kagome looking worried.] Kagome Inuyasha... fx Kagome (heart) *thump thump thump* 6 [White frame.] Kagome please be safe! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 14 1 [Scene change to Ryuukossei sending off another blast.] fx blast *flash* 2 [Inuyasha doesn't quite avoid this one.] fx blast gush Inuyasha ! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 15 1 [Inuyasha is thrown into the ground.] fx ground wham fx rocks clatter clatter 2 [Closeup of Ryuukossei.] Ryuukossei Kukuku, how feeble...
