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 [Closeup side view of Inuyasha gritting his teeth overlaid over a long-distance shot of him jumping into the blast from Ryuukossei.] Title Bakuryuuha Inuyasha Can't avoid it completely... in which case, I gotta cut it! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 2 1 [View (from Inuyasha's point of view) of a spiraling 'cut' within the blast coming towards him.] fx blast whoosh... Inuyasha That stream! If I cut it down with the Cutting Wind... 2 [Inuyasha makes a powerful swing with Tetsusaiga, which seems to release a lot of energy.] Inuyasha {straining} Daaaah!! fx Tetsusaiga *slice* ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 3 1 [A torrent of energy arcs out from the circular path of Tetsusaiga's blade.] fx Tetsusaiga whizz fx blast flash 2 [A closeup of the blast of wind/energy, which seems to have a sharp edge.] fx blast wham-am-am-am ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 4 1 [Closeup of Ryuukossei looking a bit surprised and annoyed.] Ryuukossei What!? The energy from the whelp's sword is engulfing my Youki!? 2 [Double page view of the blast-front rushing towards Ryuukossei, which also seems to be pulling Ryuukossei's blast along with it. It seems to be made of many overlapping blades of wind.] fx blast wham-am-am-am Ryuukossei ! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 5 1 [Closeup of the others in the air.] Miroku Tetsusaiga's swirl of energy, is pushing back Ryuukossei's Youki!! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 6-7 1 [What appear to be blades at the front of the blast are in fact a massive volley of tornados, and they smash into Ryuukossei's body, cutting right through it.] fx blast wham-am-am ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 8 1 [Closeup of Ryuukossei's detached head falling to the ground.] Ryuukossei Impossible... My body... has been... [broken] 2 [The furiously spinning tornado's demolish the rest of Ryuukossei's body.] fx tornados hshhht... fx body parts thump... ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 9 1 [View of Inuyasha standing on the ground, with smallish tornados kicking up dust in front of him. Some parts of Ryuukossei's body turn to dust as well.] fx tornado whirrr... fx wind whoosh... fx Ryuukossei's body *decompose...* 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking rather stunned.] Inuyasha Wha... what was that just now...!? This is a different Cutting Wind from before...!? ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 10 1 [Kagome and Shippou (with Toutousai still on his ox) come rushing towards Inuyasha happily.] Kagome Inuyasha-a! Inuyasha Kagome... 2 [Kagome is standing in front of Inuyasha, hands clasped, looking impressed. Shippou is clinging to Inuyasha.] Kagome Amazing! How were you able to do that!? Inuyasha Well... 3 [Toutousai approaches Inuyasha.] Toutousai Inuyasha, you... 4 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha That's right, Toutousai, you're... 5 [Inuyasha happily shoves Toutousai to the side, knocking him down.] Inuyasha sometimes you're pretty smart you know! fx Inuyasha {comically} *knock* ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 11 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha holding up Tetsusaiga (in it's scabbard), smiling widely.] Inuyasha You setup some kinda trick in Tetsusaiga didn't you!? It's far more amazing than earlier, isn't it. 2 [Inuyasha talks to Toutousai, who is upside-down, balanced on his head, but has his arms calmly folded. (I remember Ranma doing this quite often, after getting knocked flying...)] Toutousai Hey, you mean... you did that without knowing anything then? fx Toutousai clunk... Inuyasha Hn~n? 3 [Closeup of Toutousai, after righting himself.] Toutousai That just now was Tetsusaiga's Ougi... the Bakuryuuha. 4 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking a bit confused, but serious.] Inuyasha Bakuryuuha...? ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 12 1 [Drawing of when the Bakuryuuha was rushing along, carrying Ryuukossei's blast too.] Toutousai {off} Indeed, the Bakuryuuha is... a deadly sword-form that envelops the opponent's Youki in the Cutting Wind, reverses the flow of the Youki... 2 [Drawing of then Ryuukossei's body was smashed up by the tornados.] Toutousai {off} The coiled Cutting Wind and the Youki, becomes a swirl and pushes back... consequently, the enemy is bathed in it's own Youki blast and Tetsusaiga's explosive power. 3 [Back to Toutousai explaining to Inuyasha.] Inuyasha Hmm. Toutousai ...well, that's the theory at least... ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 13 1 [Closeup of Toutousai.] Toutousai At any rate, you have to be able to read where to cut the Youki, and more than anything, without a strong enough energy to overwhelm the enemy's Youki, you can't do it. 2 [Inuyasha replies matter of factly.] Inuyasha Hmm, I only tried to cut the place where it smelt incendiary. Toutousai He what...? -------- [COMMENTS] Inuyasha says he cut the place where it smelt 'kinakusee' (properly written 'kinakusai'), which I translated as 'incendiary'. Kinakusai is sort of like 'inflamable' but applies to explosions instead of fires. So Inuyasha basically said "I only tried to cut the place where it smelt like it'd cause an explosion". 3 [Closeup side view of Toutousai, looking surprised.] Toutousai He fucking surpassed the theory... and... he even exceeded Ryuukossei's Youki very easily... 4 [View of Inuyasha looking rather confident, from Toutousai's point of view.] Toutousai Why that Inuyasha.... he might be greater than I thought... ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 14 1 [Miroku and Sango approach, and Inuyasha happily puts his hand to Tetsusaiga's handle.] Miroku Anyway Inuyasha, this means you can now control Tetsusaiga freely. Inuyasha That's not all - watch this! 2 [Inuyasha makes a powerful swing with Tetsusaiga, unleashing a load of energy.] fx Tetsusaiga whoosh ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 15 1 [A bunch of rocks in front of Inuyasha are smashed apart, though it doesn't appear to be as strong as the full Cutting Wind.] fx rocks wham-am-am 2 [Sango and Miroku look on in surprise.] Sango Ah... Miroku The Cutting Wind... 3 [Closeup of Inuyasha slinging Tetsusaiga over his shoulder, looking happy.] Inuyasha What do you think, I can do the Cutting Wind any time. fx Tetsusaiga hshht... 4 [Miroku has whacked Inuyasha on the head with his staff.] Miroku So you're the type to recklessly show off a dangerous sword eh. fx Inuyasha {comically} clunk... Toutousai Umm, still a hoodlum I guess. ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 16 1 [Scene change to someone's view moving through some air with dark swirls.] fx air whoosh 2 [Kagura is on one of her large feathers, and she has a passange - an old woman, with long white hair and black clothes.] old woman It's still going on... This is an elaborate barrier, isn't it. Kagura Hang on tight okay, baa-san. 3 [View of a castle below, also covered with dark wavey lines. There is only blackness around the castle.] fx air whoosh 4 [View of Naraku near a window inside the castle. Near him are three tall pots, glowing at the top.] ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 17 1 [Kagura is now standing in the doorway, pointing to the old woman, who only comes up to her waist. The old woman has quite an aged face, is quite hunched, and is wearing a dark kimono.] Kagura Naraku, I've brought her. 2 [Closeup of Naraku.] Naraku So you came... Dark Miko Tsubaki. -------- [COMMENTS] 'Tsubaki' means 'camellia' - a type of flower. ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 18 1 [View of Naraku and Tsubaki.] Naraku Tsubaki, you... remember that you fought a Miko called Kikyou about 50 years ago, don't you. Tsubaki Humph, it certainly was... a long time ago... 2 [View of Tsubaki.] Naraku {off} You were defeated by Kikyou, bear her a grudge, and erased your form, I heard, but... 3 [Closeup of Naraku with a smile.] Naraku I heard you were actually still alive... disguising your form like that... 4 [Closeup of Tsubaki with a smile.] Tsubaki Ohh... you know about my real form, huh.
