PRINCESS ARMY - Tankouban 2 English translation c. 1996 Combined effort of KD and Yamazaki Masatomo Page 6 BIG LETTERS: INTRODUCING THE JUDO CLUB MEMBERS Senior Class 5 - Iwayama Gentaro. Reason for joining the club - To win over Nishi High School. Junior Class 1 - Kumada Yoshimi Reason for joining the club - Because he fell in love with Nonoka at first sight. Sophomore Class 2 - Tokugawa Tsuyoshi Reason for joining the club - He yearns for Yuya. Sophomore Class 6 - Hashiba Yuya Reason for establishing the Judo Club - To test himself. Sophomore Class 5 - Aida Nonoka Reason for joining the club - .................................... (unknown) Nonoka: Well, we have 5. Now it's do or die. ____________________________________ Page 7 Nonoka: What I mean is, now that we're a club, we don't have a place to practice because our club isn't sanctioned. So after Akira-nichan's classes are over, can we use the dojo? She thinks, I have a baaaad feeling about this. _________________________________ Page 8 Brothers as they cry: NONOKA, YOU'VE DECIDED TO DO JUDO SERIOUSLY?! Nonoka: NO! Yuya and I are not teaching others. If my oniichan's would teach us, that'll be nice. Akira: YES! USE THE DOJO OR WHATEVER YOU WANT! I'LL COACH YOU GUYS BECAUSE YOU'VE GOTTEN SERIOUS! I'D TAKE THE SHIRT OFF MY BACK FOR THIS! ( Or "I'd do anything!" The is the American saying that matches the emotion. The Japanese saying is "I'll peel off my skin".) ________________________ Page 9 Koji: Yes! Let's party tonight! Satoru, SAKE! BRING THE SAKE! Satoru: Yes sir! The 3 brothers are drinking: Our parents must be thrilled. Keep her going. Go to the Olympics. Beat Yawara! Nonoka: Papa, Mama in heaven...why'd you leave me with stupid brothers? (Instead of heaven, it's actually what Masatomo calls Nirvana, a state of being after death) I will bring everyone here tomorrow. Nonoka thinks, Well, now we have a dojo. I hope Yuya will be pleased. _______________________ Page 10 Hashiba: Huh? Dojo? Iwayama: Can I really? Can I really go? To tell the truth, I LOVE your brothers! I'm so happy! Can I get their signatures on my clothes or my bag? Nonoka: Yuya? Hashiba: We don't have any other place to practice. Tokugawa: Uh, are Aida's brothers famous? Iwayama: They're stars among people who do judo. ______________________ Page 11 Nonoka: I'm home with everyone! Everyone: Good afternoon! Akira: Huh? Satoru: Just five?! Hashiba: Iwayama-senpai, don't bleed on my arm! Akira: We have to coach THEM?! Satoru: Oh my! Hashiba: Coach us?! Nonoka: Yup! I asked them to teach us so we could be good. Satoru: Now, crawl on the floor. _____________________ Page 12 Hashiba: P-p-please wait! Nonoka thinks, Yuya? Hashiba: Excuse me, I'm delighted really, but this is our business. We'd like to use the dojo but... _____________________________ Page 13 Iwayama: Hashiba-kun? Hashiba: ...but I don't want to rely on anyone. We want to do this on our own. Nonoka: Al....right. Hashiba: Sorry for being impudent. Nonoka thinks, Hashiba wants to do judo to test himself. I thought I understood him, but I didn't really. Sorry Yuya. _____________________________ Page 14 Akira: You're Hashiba, right? You're not just your average judo freak. I like you. But allow us to watch you. Hashiba: Fine by me! Yes, Guys! Intensive training time! 100 pushups, 100 situps, crawling the floor for 100 laps. __________________________________ Page 15 Tokugawa: No more...I pass! I only joined because I yearned for Hashiba. Why'd I do something so stupid? Hashiba: You passed MY ATHLETIC TEST! YOU shouldn't have a bit of trouble doing it! If you don't do as I say, I'll dump you! Tokugawa: But it's too much! Iwayama: Kumada-kun, ya can't do judo this way! Akira: Is this some secret talent they use at parties? (KD: They're talking about the silly things people might do at partiest to entertain others) Satoru: Who knows? ___________________________ Page 16 Hashiba: It's not a judo skill, it's pre-training. Kumada-senpai, you have have to remember the rules. Please read the rule books. Tokugawa: Aw, I don't wanna. I've injured my arms. Hashiba: Tokugawa, you need more fighting spirit and concentration. You have no guts! Tokugawa: Who needs it?! Nonoka: Kumada-senpai, don't eat it! _________________________ Page 17 Tokugawa: 2 more laps. Nonoka: Iwayama-senpai, why don't you take a break? Hashiba: Look at him. Tokugawa: Boooooo! Iwayama: I'm the weakest so I need to make more effort than you, too much to give you a rough time about all this work. ______________________ Page 18 Hashiba: You hear that, Tokugawa? Tokugawa: I don't hear things on Sundays. (He means it's his day off) Iwayama: My glasses are failing me. He thinks, Ishizawa-san, I'll do my best. Please wait for me. ___________________________ Page 19 Nonoka thinks, Tokugawa-kun doesn't want to work at anything. Kumada-senpai is nothing more than a goat (because he ate the rulebook), now if only Iwayama does well... Hashiba: Nonoka! Nonoka! Nonoka: What is it?! Hashiba: Iwayama-senpai! __________________________ Page 20 Hashiba: Iwayama-senpai! Tokugawa: You're way late. Nonoka: Tokugawa-kun and Kumada-senpai. Hashiba: What happened?! He fainted during the lecture? Nurse: I'm not sure. Seems to be anemia from over-exhaustion. Studying for college exams, no sleep, and judo practice. He was lacking for exercise and then suddenly over-worked his body. It's just like begging for this to happen. ____________________________ Page 21 Nurse: Iwayama-kun will go to a well-known college, won't he? Sports is fine, but he's got to watch his health. I'll going to the Teacher's Office, so would you watch Iwayama-kun? Nonoka: Sure. That's right, that amount of practice was normal for us, but he has study too. Hashiba: I apologize, I didn't think of that. _____________________ Page22 Iwayama: It's okay, I was really doing it because I wanted to. Before I always let things slide. Whenever I'd think about Ishizawa-san, I could just see her laughing at me. About the former judo club, I should have gotten other judo members the way Hashiba-kun did. I never realized before that driving yourself to do something difficult can give you such an exhilarating feeling. _____________________ Page 23 Iwayama: It's almost the end of my High School life, but it's really good to finally realize that. Now I can feel that I didn't waste my entire High School life. _______________________ Page 24 Tokugawa: I understand. I'll be serious too. Hashiba: Tokugawa. Tokugawa: If I keep going like this, I'll be playing the bad guy. Besides, I don't particularily want to be a skinhead. And it's not a bad way to do adolescence (using his energy doing judo) Kumada-senpai: I'll remember the rules. Tokugawa: I'll tell you something...if you eat the books, it won't help you remember the rules. ______________________ Page 25 Hashiba: Here we go! Let's the five of us go bum around! Mr. Suzuki: Good afternoon. I'm Mr. Suzuki of the Phys. Ed. Department. If you enjoy your adolescence, that's fine. But, I told you before, the next time you make trouble, I won't forgive it. Being sick because of judo is worse than not studying. Are you prepared? (as in, Ready for your punishment?) Hashiba thinks, He still can't forget that I threw him. ___________________________ Page 26 Mr. Suzuki: You two, (Nonoka and Yuya) come to the teachers' office after all the lectures are over. I'm going to scold you. Nonoka: Scold us? Hashiba: That's all? Iwayama: Sorry, for being the cause of this. Nonoka: We had a promise that you wouldn't say that. (Typical Japanese saying. It doesn't mean that they actually made a promise before, but she is telling him that he doesn't need to say another word about it. After the lectures... Mr. Suzuki: What's with the low score on your test? (Hashiba got 35.) Hashiba: Scolding means this? Nonoka: I didn't do as badly as you did. ________________ Page 27 Nonoka: It's so late! Hashiba: When I'm ready to leave, I'll come by Class 5. See you then. In Nonoka's classroom... Nonoka thinks, Shinobu-kun. Outloud: I was scolded by a teacher that's why I'm still here. How about you, Shinobu-kun? Shinobu: Had to put the track and field equipment away. ____________________________ Page 28 Nonoka thinks, I just wanna to stare at him for a while, but he'll say mean things again. So maybe I should go to Yuya's class. Shinobu laughed under his breath, "No, you weren't alone. Hashiba was with you. Being scolded together, dying together (means they're always together). You two really get along. Are you really only fake lovers? _______________ Page 29 Shinobu: It's inappropriate to show out your relationship that much in public. I'm ashamed to be your partner as Class President. Nonoka thinks, Stop it. Shinobu: You two better be careful about failing schoolwork. Nonoka: I don't want to hear anymore. Outloud: NOOO! ________________ Page 30 Nonoka: Why? Why do you say such mean things. If you hate judo so much, just leave us alone. You hate me so much you wish I'd die? Then leave me alone. Just forget I exist?! __________________________________ Page 31 Nonoka: Shinobu-kun, what're you thinking of? Shinobu: Only you. _______________________ Page 32 Nonoka: Shi..no... Shinobu: I don't wanna to hate you...I don't want to dislike you! These feelings are making me crazy. (How long do I have to pretend?) __________________________ Page 33 Shinobu kisses Nonoka with a great deal of passion. Nonoka: Shino... _________________ Page 35 Nonoka noticed that Hashiba was coming in. ______________________ Page 36 Hashiba: No..No..Nonoka. Nonoka thinks, He saw what happened. ____________ Page 37 Nonoka thinks, Yuya. Hashiba: Oda you bastard! What the HELL are you doing?! Shinobu: "What?" That's a stupid question. ____________________ Page 38 Hashiba: Get outta here! Shinobu: I know your relationship is a fake. You're not in a position to give me orders. Nonoka thinks, No, I can't look Yuya in the face. Why? Hashiba: I'll say it again, get outta here! Get away from Nonoka. Shinobu: And what if I don't? Hashiba: Then I'll be forced to make you. _____________________ Page 40 Hashiba tried to throw Shinobu, but Shinobu back-flipped out of the way. __________________ Page 41 Hashiba: Hey Oda, you...! Shinobu: Hashiba, you're not good enough. Hashiba: What?! An amateur could never avoid my throw! Yo-you can't be... _________________________ Page 42 Shinobu slapped Hashiba's hand away. "What do you mean "I can't be..." It's disgusting to be under a microscope. Nonoka: I had my first kiss! She remembers "I don't want to hate you, I don't want to dislike you." Shinobu-kun doesn't hate me. ________________ Page 43 Nonoka thinks, Such a crazy feeling. How long am I going to feel this way? Outloud: Thanks for taking me home. Hashiba: We couldn't have practice, anyway. Nonoka: See you tomorrow. _______________________ Page 44 Hashiba held Nonoka's hand. Nonoka: Yuya? Hashiba: Nonoka, do you love Oda? Nonoka: Why do you ask suddenly? You're hurting me. Let go! No! It's none of your business. Hashiba: It IS my business, that's why I'm asking! ____________________ Page 45 Hashiba holds Nonoka. Nonoka: Yu-Yu-Yu... Hashiba: I think that for a long time....I've been holding back my feelings. But I realized how I felt when I saw you two together. __________________ Page 46 Hashiba: ...love you. Nonoka: What did you say?! Hashiba: Definitely, I won't let that fucking Oda have you! My... _____________________ Page 47 Hashiba: I don't want anyone to touch you besides me. Nonoka: Ah! I'm frozen. I can't take Yuya's hands away as usual. _______________________________ Page 48 Nonoka: No Yuya! Hashiba: Nonoka! __________________________ Page 49 Hashiba: Her eyes showed her feelings. It was so scary. I'm the worst! _____________________ Page 50 Koji: Is that you, Nonoka? Hey Nonoka! The other members already left. It's a bad example for you to miss practice. You're being cold (because she's ignoring him) Satoru: Okay, okay. Nonoka thinks, What a complicated day. I'm confused. Shinobu knew every move that Yuya would make. That didn't come from Track and Field. No, why am I thinking about that? He gave me my first kiss! I can't forgive him, and I'd say "I hate you", but I can't when I see his eyes. On the other hand, I feel sorry for Yuya. "...love you" I thought he was just a friend, but he doesn't feel that way. What can I do? I'm going to be nervous around him. How can I face either one tomorrow? ________________________ Page 52 Kumada: AIDA! Yumi: He's just like clockwork. Kumada: Yesterday, the teachers' scolding was all THAT long? Nonoka: Yes! So I couldn't make it to practice! ___________________________ Page 53 Nonoka: How's he going to behave? (referring to Yuya) Tokugawa: Why the hell would you be scolded for so long? Nonoka thinks, This time it's Yuya, and also Tokugawa and Iwayama. Tokugawa to Hashiba: I don't trust you. (He's implying that he and Nonoka were together instead of being scolded that long) Hashiba: Why do you say that? Iwayama: Calm down, calm down. ________________________________________ Page 54 Hashiba: Good heavens! Oh Nonoka, will you say something to this stupid guy?! Let go, Tokugawa! You're so disgusting! Tokugawa: HASHIBA! Nonoka thinks, Everyone, everything that happened yesterday was a dream or an illusion. I'm pissed but I'll keep it under control. I'm the only one being stupid about it. Hashiba: Listen to me... _______________________ Page 55 Hashiba: I want to apologize about yesterday. After that incident, I didn't know what I should do. After seeing Oda do that, I lost it. I don't know what I can do except be the same as usual. If you don't wanna talk to me, fine but... ________________ Page 56 Hashiba: ...don't forget what I said. Nonoka thinks, Oh...love you. What kind of expression should I have on my face? I'm embarrassed so I'll lean my head on his back. __________________________ Page 57 Hashiba joking: What a bitch. (He means the opposite) Tokugawa: Don't play around, you two. Nonoka remembers what Yuya said, "I didn't know what I should do." I hope that was why Shinobu-kun was out of control. (meaning that he couldn't help it) ________________________ Page 58 Akira: Hey Satoru. Satoru: What Akira-ni? Your pupils are gone. Why are you here? Akira: For you to come home directly after school, is unusual for you. Satoru: Oniichans are very thoughtful of their litter sisters. Hashiba: Work hard. If you don't, it means skinheads. Signs: Oniichans' ears are like Dumbo's. (Their ears are big) ______________________ Page 59 Akira: W-what's this skinhead business?! Nonoka: You DUMMY! Hashiba: Whoops. Akira: EXPLAIN this business! Hashiba: Ouch. Nonoka: It's like this..... _________________________ Page 60 Akira: How come you, who is so talented, have to shave your head? Why do you have to have a stupid bout? Satoru: You dumb shit! Don't get so serious over something as idiotic as that! Nonoka: It's NOT stupid! I know you think so, but... You're among the elite in judo so you think it's worthless! ______________________________________ Page 61 Nonoka: It wasn't my ability that caused me to do that. I just wanted to do my best for everyone. You have a problem with that? Hashiba: Akira-san, Satoru-san...It may be stupid and dumb but we're serious about it. Satoru: For any good reason? Akira: Anything that gets her serious about her judo is fine. ______________________ Page 62 Both brothers: Anyhow, we're just your silly brothers, aren't we? One of the brothers: But, I won't forgive you if you lose. You're the pride of Aida. You HAVE TO win. Nonoka: YES! ________________________ Page 63 Sign: Only one week to go. ___________________________ Page 64 Nonoka: Yuya's says he loves me. Shinobu-kun said I don't want to hate you. Will I live with this crazy feeling forever? I behave as usual to them, but actually I screwed up. ________________________________ Page 66 Hashiba: Shit! Nonoka: The bout's this Saturday, work hard. Let's go. Hashiba: Oh shoot, I was chosen for the Kontou Area Match but I can't even win over someone I love. I'm ashamed. _______________________________ Page 67 Akira: Oh, you love Nonoka? Hashiba: Oh Akira-san, Satoru-san too! Akira: She's going to be trouble for you. Hashiba: Huh? What do you mean? Akira: Her ability is infinite. It grows without limit. ____________________ Page 68 Akira: But she's still immature as a person. Until Nonoka becomes an adult, we will protect her in place of our parents. You can laugh at us, we're just her stupid brothers. She is a very precious thing left to us by our parents. Hashiba: Is that love of brother and sister or the love of a father and daughter? Akira: But that includes Koji-ni. (oldest brother) Satoru: We have a rough time thinking straight about her. ________________________ Page 69 Nonoka: Hey, next! Satoru: You'll see what we mean sooner or later. Akira: Loving Nonoka will be much more difficult than you expect it to be. Can you protect her if you are shown real ability and you yourself have none? Do you have that kinda strength of mind? _______________________ Page 70 Hashiba remembers, Do you have that kinda strength of mind? At Nishi High School... Girl: Captain Ishizawa, captain! ____________________________ Page 71 Ishizawa: What's the matter? Girl: It's awful, the two from Asamizo High... I thought I recognized her face. She's Aida Nonoka! She's the National Jr. High champion! Your favorite guy's name is Hashiba Yuya. He was the nominee from the Kontou Area. Girls: Aaaaa! Oooooh! Aaaccck! Ishizawa: Oh, is that soooo. If they weren't good, it wouldn't be any fun. Oh ha ha ha. Oh, that boy's not just ordinary. I picked well. _________________________ Page 72 Ishizawa: Hey guys, there's a big difference between Jr. High and High School. We've gotta teach that girlie that. Everyone: We're leaving! Ishizawa: Oh fuck! They're all just cowards! Tomorrow's the bout! What the heeeell! Eh heh heh...I've got an idea. _________________________- Page 73 Ishizawa: To get something I want, I can fix it. Now the guy is mine. Wait for me boy. Hashiba: What the hell was that chilly feeling suddenly? Tokugawa: Did you catch cold? Tomorrow is the bout! Iwayama: Or is it a quiver of anticipation and excitement of an adverture? __________________________________ Page 74 Hashiba: Let's ask.... As representative of the unofficial Judo Club, Sophomore, Class 6, Hashiba Yuya, I've come make an official request for a Judo Club. The other members pretend they don't know him. Hashiba: If we win tomorrow's bout over Nishi High School, will you approve.... Hashiba thinks, Shit, it's Suzuki! Suzuki pushes away the other teachers saying "Get back, get outta the way". WHAT THIS ABOUT JUDO CLUB! GO HOME! GO HOME! GO HOME! Hashiba: What's your problem with Judo Club? Do you still hate me because I threw you in volume 1? Suzuki: I... I.... ...was the defunct Judo Club's Advisor. Iwayama: Oh, didn't you know that? Hashiba: Then WHY would he be against the Judo Club?! ______________________ Page 76 Suzuki: Judo Club's advisor... Those days were full of humiliation and frustration for me. Over and over we took part in tournaments and lost. We fought and lost, we fought and lost, we fought and lost. Then our budget was reduced and we were kicked out of the gym where we used to do our practices. Everyone was talking behind our backs. Members... 1 left us, 2 left, then 3.... 8 left, 9 left... Iwayama: Sensei, we never had that many in the first place. There were only 5 of us. Suzuki-sensei: Then I realized I was being laughed at by everyone in the Teacher's Office. Then the Judo Club was a goner. I've tried to forget my miserable past. But you...! _________________________________ Page 77 Hashiba: I didn't know about that. Such a stupid reason to be against us. Nonoka clobbers Hashiba with a Kaora-type hammer. Outloud: Don't be so honest! Suzuku-sensei: What did you say?! No matter what, I'll NEVER approve the Judo Club. Iwayama: Sensei, just a second please! __________________________________ Page 78 Suzuki-sensei notices that Nonoka's wrist and arm and fingers and bandaged from training. He grabs Nonoka's hand. Nonoka: Aaaaaa! Suzuku-sensei: This is obviously from crawling. Hashiba: What're you doing? Let her GO! SIGN: Regain. (Because Yuya regained Nonoka from Suzuki-sensei.) Suzuki-sensei: And how about you guys? _________________________ Page 79 Tokugawa: You mean like this? Of course! We've been practicing until nightfall too. It used to be very beautiful (meaning his skin) (To Hashiba) - It's your fault. Hashiba: So who doesn't have one or two scars on their arms? Suzuki-sensei: You guys. Hashiba: Why don't you look forward (as apposed to "quit looking at the past" as we might say) _______________________________ Page 80 Hashiba: Please believe in us. From now on, the 5 of us will be strong. We WILL win. So I want you to approve us as a club. Suzuki-sensei: No more sick members. And...no "F's" ___________________________ Page 81 Suzuki-sensei: I will make a request at the next Teachers' Meeting. Don't make me regret this in tomorrow's bout. Everyone: Yes sir! Nonoka: Suzuki-sensei, you're the best! Suzuki-sensei: Am I? Hashiba: Su-chan (he just nicknamed Suzuki-sensei), you're wonderful. Suzuki-sensei: Who the hell is Su-chan?! Everyone: Thank you very much. _________________________ Page 82 Hashiba: I hope it'll be approved. Iwayama: I hope so too. Girl: Oh, it's about that Judo athletic test. Girl 2: They're so noisy. I hate that. Girl 3: Right and that bitch pretends to be cute. And... Girl 4: I like them, I envy them. They look so happy. __________________________________ Page 83 Girl 4: They're really serious about it. Hashiba's classmate: Hey Hashiba! Your bout's tomorrow, right? Where's it gonna be?! We'll come and support you! ______________________________ Page 84 Classmate 2: Since we don't have a dojo...so will it be a Nishi High? Nonoka's classmate: Nonoka, we'll come to cheer you on. Fight! Iwayama's classmate: Iwayama, do better this time. Guy: Beats me...but you guys are interesting. Guy 2: Anyway, we like making noise. (meaning, yelling from the crowds) I'm really looking forward to it. ___________________________ Page 85 Nonoka thinks, Everyone is counting on us, so we've got to do well. Nonoka sees Shinobu-kun. Shinobu-kun. Since then, we aren't able to function with each other. I just want us to understand each other and go into this fight without that hanging over me. Outloud: Shinobu-kun, I need to talk to you. ____________________________ Page 86 On the schoolgrounds... Shinobu: What do wanna talk about? ________________________ Page 87 Nonoka thinks, His hair's light brown in the sun. It's so shiny. __________________________ Page 88 Nonoka: I... ...understand that you hate judo and the everyone associated with it. But at least have the courtesy of listening to why I do judo. Eleven years ago, I was saved by a little boy who does judo. I was attacked by a drunk. He got... _________________________ Page 89 Nonoka: ...an injury to his back. I don't know his name or what he looks like. We never saw each other again. Since then, I began practicing a lot. I used to skip out on it. I figured if I continued practicing judo, I would meet him again for sure. It's no exaggeration. If he hadn't shown up, I.... I... ____________________________ Page 90 Nonoka: I wouldn't be alive now. _______________________ Page 91 Shinobu runs away from her. Nonoka: SHINOBU-KUN! She thinks, Whatever his reasons, he hates people who do judo. He dislikes it so much he can't forgive anyone who does it. _________________________ Page 92 Koji: It can't be! Why? What's even worse, she's in the same school with that guy? Oh my God! ________________________ Page 93 Those two should NEVER MEET! Pop, Mom...I... What can we do? As a result of that nightmare, something could end up happening to Nonoka. How can we prevent that from happening? It's impossible to stop it. We have our limits. ________________________ Page 94 Koji: I'll leave Nonoka in your hands. Protect her. Protect her. ________________________ Page 95 Nonoka: Shinobu-kun. Akira: The bout is at the Nishi High School dojo, isn't it? Are you going by bus? Don't be late. Satoru: Don't get separated from the rest of the members. We'll show up later. Akira: Snacks are limited to 300 yen. Are bananas considered snacks? Satoru: Now, now...do elementary and Jr. High kids understand a thing like that? Nonoka thinks, They're not going on the field trip. __________________________ Page 97 Koji: Nonoka. Nonoka: What, Koji-nichan? Koji: Uh, nothing...Good luck! Nonoka: He's acting weird. I'm leaving now. __________________________ Page 98 Hashiba: What an incredible dojo! And what a huge audience. Iwayama: There's so many people that it's putting me under pressure. I'm nervous. ________________________ Page 99 Hashiba: Don't sweat it. We'll get revenge for the past. Iwayama: But those girls are very strong. Hashiba: Ah hah hah...no matter HOW strong they are, just get in there and throw 'em. Let's have bouts like being on a big ship (KD: This means relax and be ready. Masatomo tells me because I asked that it's because when someone is on a ship they relax and there's no going back once out to sea.) To Nonoka: What? Nonoka: That's strange, I heard that Nishi High's Girls' Judo Club... ______________________ Page 100 Nonoka: ...except for Ishizawa-san, only the boys wear Judo uniforms. Ishizawa: Eh heh heh heh heh. Iwayama: Revenge for the past? Nonoka: GIRLS' Judo Club? Takugawa: Get in there and throw 'em, get in there and THROW 'EM? Kumada: Being on a big ship? Hashiba: FUCK! THAT'S CHEATING! Ishizawa: What're you talking about? What? I never said you'd be fighting with the Girl's Judo Club. ____________________________ Page 101 (Ishizawa's probably kissing and hugging Hashiba off the view of the readers.) Ishizawa: Boy, it's been a whole month. I've missed you! Hashiba: Quit it! Let me go, you stupid thing! SIGN: It's not interesting. Ishizawa: That's alright, you'll be mine soon. You'll become "Lokulokubi" waiting for me. (KD: Lokulokubi is a monster with a long neck. When someone waits it's like having your neck stuck out...this is the corrolation. Ishizawa is joking.) Hashiba: What a bitch! Nonoka: Yuya you may want to wash your face. Referee: Now we begin Asamizo High vs. Sagami Nishi High test match. The bout will be point style. ____________________________ Page 102 Nonoka thinks, They're all so BIG. Hashiba thinks, We won't lose to them. Iwayama: Oh man, they look strong. Nishi member 1: Oh lucky! There's two girls on their team. Member 2: Shit! I wanted to go first or third. Member 3: Oh, that's Aida. She's so tiny and cute. Member 4: I can't believe that piece of garbage Iwayama is Taiisho (the last member of a team which is usually 1st or 2nd best on the team) Ishizawa: Maybe that Aida girl is chicken of me. She's trying to keep away from me. Suzuki-sensei: You guys, if you lose, you won't have a judo club. Everyone knows it too. Akira: Nonoka, do your best. Satoru: The snacks are under 300 yen. Hashiba: Oh Suzuki! Nonoka: Oniichans! Shoot! ___________________________ Page 103 Nonoka's friend: Oh, they're handsome. Friend 2: Hey! Hey! Friend 3: Who ARE they? Who ARE they? Friend 4: Nonoka's brothers? Friend 5: Good afternoon, we're Nonoka's friends. Friend 6: Can I touch you? Friend 7: Do you have a girlfriend? Nishi Judo Members: Oh there's Aida's 3 brothers! Members: Let's get their signatures! Ishizawa: Come on you guys. She thinks, But they sure are handsome. __________________________________ Page 104 Referee: Sempo (First man) come forward. Hashiba: Go for it, Tokugawa. Give 'em hell. Nishi member: Sano! Don't do anythink perverted just 'cause she's a girl. Referee: Bow. Sano thinks: [Oh her name's Tokugawa-san. She's so beautiful. I'm lucky. Referee: Begin. Sano thinks, I should take my time with this. (Masatomo says so he can touch her body) Sano laughs under his breath: Eh heh heh. Nishi High: Wow, I envy you! _________________________ Page 105 Tokugawa: Haaaaa! (and he threw him) __________________________ Page 106 Referee: Ippon! The Tokugawa shows his chest to the guy which of course isn't female and says "You dumb shit". Sano: Aw hell, I touched a MAN's chest?! Hashiba: It was just a tad mean but winning is winning. Nonoka: Tokugawa-kun, you're great. Tokugawa-kun: I did it! ___________________________________ Page 107 Ishizawa: What the HELL?! Your performance was shameful! I won't even waste my tears on you! Sano: So-sorry. Ishizawa: Araya, you're not having the same problem as him, right? Araya: Leave this to me. Hashiba: Is Kumada-senpai ok? I wonder if he learned the rules. Nonoka: Kumada-senpai, good luck. Referee: Jiho (second in line) come forward. Araya thinks, Ah, this guy may be really strong. Referee: Bow. __________________________ Page 108 Referre: Begin. Araya thinks, That's alright, he may just be a big oaf. I'll just take care of it. I can't move him! Hashiba to Nonoka: You've always been able to throw guys like that. Araya as Kumada picks him up: What?! ___________________________ Page 109: Gashan (just a sound) Referree: Jogai! (Out of bounds) Hashiba: That much he HAS been taught from the rulebooks. Iwayama: We knew he wouldn't remember it. Referree: Because of his inability to continue, he's been pulled from the bout (meaning the Nishi member). Asamizo wins a bout by default. _____________________________________ Page 110 Hashiba: What a shame. The students from Asamizo: We won again. Nishi High kids: A. You gotta be kidding. We've already lost twice! B. It's gotta be a nightmare. Something's wrong. Asami Students: AIDA! NONOKA, DO YOUR BEST! _______________________ Page 111 Student: Even if Aida's strong, Nishi High are tough. Nonoka's brothers beat the guy up. All 3 brothers: Nonoka relax, we're heeeeere! Ishizawa: Here's that girlie. I really wanted to be the one to beat her. _______________________________ Page 112 Hashiba: Good luck, Nonoka! Referee: Bow! Opponent: I can't go easy on her just because she's a girl. I'll just stretch things out until she's exhausted. Referree: Begin! __________________________ Page 114 Hashiba: F...... Ishizawa: 5? Brothers: Just 5 seconds. Opponent: Huh? Referree: Oh, oh...Ippon. _______________________ Page 115 Ishizawa: She cheated! It was too quick! She attack him before you said to begin. She cheated! Nonoka: I didn't! Opponent to Ishizawa: If you say so, maybe it was. Girl 1: That was just a second. Girl 2: Must be something wrong. Hashiba: Let's stop kidding ourselves. You're giving us worthless trumped up charges! What're you trying to pull? You're just trying to camouflage your own lack of talent. Akira: Sure is. A weak dog barks more than others do. Satoru: If you're not satisfied, do it over again. __________________________ Referees and audience are buzzing. Iwayama: This is bad for Nonoka. The judge and sub-judges are all from Nishi High School. Hashiba: Everyone's blaming her. Referree: You will do it over. Any problem with that? Nonoka: I understand. __________________________ Page 117 Opponent: I thought of her as just a girl and went into it too easy. Akira: Just a waste of time. Referree: Begin! ___________________ Page 118 Hashiba: Referree! Referree: Huh? It's for sure, Ippon! Audience: WAaaaaaah! Ishizawa: T.....three seconds! You've got to be kidding! Koji: Nonoka'll never lose to a mere high school student. Akira: Same as usual. Cracker. (Masatomo thinks this may have to do with a Japanese commercial or comedy show....uh, the part about cracker) Satoru: Akira-ni. How old are you anyway? I think elementary and Jr. High kids wouldn't know about that. (Referring to the cracker joke) _______________________ Page 119 Koji: You're Oda Shinobu-kun aren't you? Excuse me, I'm Aida Koji, Nonoka's big brother. _________________________________ Page 120 All the Azamizo team except Hashiba: We did it! We have 3 points. We won, we won! No skiin heads! Hashiba: I wanted to fight, I wanted to fight. Oh shit! Nishi High student: You gotta be kidding! We lost 3 straight. Student 2: No way! Ishizawa: We're not done yet! I wanna continue! Even though we've lost, let's keep going! We'll win the rest of them. _____________________________________ Page 121 Hashiba: Just what I wanted to hear. Audience: Hey Hashiba! Give 'em hell! Referree: Bow! Begin! Koji: When I heard your name from Nonoka, I couldn't believe it. _______________________________________ Page 122 Ishizawa: Oh geez! That's shameful! You're never going to be able to show your face around here again! _____________________________________ Page 123 Ishizawa: Oh crap! Now, I'm going beat that shithead Iwayama up for my revenge! The sign says that the Nishi High members can't say a word about anything because they lost. Iwayama: Ishizawa-san is glaring at me. I can't do taishou. Nonoka: Senpai, don't give up before you even start. Hashiba: Iwayama-senpai, if you don't hold your position, this will all be meaningless. For what purpose did you practice so hard? Is was for Ishizawa-san, wasn't it? To fight with her without shame. ______________________ Page 124 Nonoka: Show us what you can do. Iwayama: Y-yes. Hashiba: But you can afford to lose. Koji: You and Nonoka...it won't work. This was a 1 in 10,000 chance. (That they would meet) You were never meant to meet. And you two are not supposed to know each other. _________________________ Page 125 Referree: Taishou, come forward. Koji: Please, please stay away from Nonoka. Stay outta her life. _________________________________ Page 126 Nonoka: Iwayama-senpai, give it everything. Shinobu thinks, Please, please stay away from Nonoka. Stay outta her life. --------------------------------------- Page 127 Koji: I guess it's not right for me to say this to you. You can consider me poking my nose into your business. Asamizo student: Iwayama, you can lose. Nishi student: Ishizawa, beat the hell out of him! _____________________________ Page 128 Ishizawa thinks, I won't let your team win 5 straight, Iwayama. Today's the anniversary of your death. Iwayama: I'll do what I have to, to catch up with Ishizawa-san's skills. Koji: I can only think about how stupid this is. I've been upset ever since I heard your name from Nonoka. ___________________________ Page 129 Referree: Bow! Begin! Nonoka thinks, Iwayama don't hold anything back. Koji: For her, for yourself...please! ________________________________ Page 130 Hashiba: Ah! ____________________________ Page 131 Asamizo Student: Don't scare us! I thought for a moment we lost! Guy 1: He can afford to lose now, he doesn't have to put up with that. Referree: Begin! Hashiba: He's getting clobbered! Ishizawa: I've got it! ______________________________ Page 132 Asamizo Student: Oh, he out-manuevered her! Nishi team: What's taking you so long?! Nishi member 2: Wipe him out NOW! Ishizawa thinks, How unusual. He's totally different that how I remember the little bastard. Iwayama thinks, I know I can't win over Ishizawa-san but I won't lose this bout easily. ______________________ Page 133 Iwayama: Waaaaah! Referree: Wait! Girl 1: Eeeu! __________________________________ Page 134 Shinobu: I didn't want to see her doing judo. I wanted to see her just as a girl. I will do whatever you want, Aida-san. __________________________________ Page 135 Shinobu: She's important to me too. Koji: You... Thank you. ________________________________ Page 136 Asamizo Student: How come Iwayama's still hanging in there? Just lose and let yourself relax. Tokugawa: To tell you the truth, I didn't think he'd make it this far. Nonoka: You underestimate him. Iwayama-senpai worked harder than any of us. ______________________________ Page 137 Nonoka: For today, he made all that effort for Ishizawa-san. Iwayama thinks, Nothing will get anywhere if I keep avoiding her moves. I want this to be a good fight. Gotta do something. Nishi members: AH! ______________________________ Page 138 Referree: Yuko! (He got 1 point) __________________________ Page 139 Asamizo: Oh Iwayama got a yuko! Audience: Good job! Iwayama: Uh..uh...I...I.. Ishizawa: FUCK YOU! Iwayama: Waaaaah! _____________________________ Page 140 Iwayama: Just as I figured. I couldn't win. Referree: IPPON! _____________________________ Page 141 Asamizo: Even if you lost Iwayama, you did well! Asamizo 2: Now I like you! Suzuki-sensei: We did it! We WON! We've GOT to have a teachers' meeting tomorrow! Tokugawa: Iwayama-senpai, you were great! Nonoka: Good job! Here's your glasses. __________________________________ Page 142 Ishizawa: Lost is lost. Shit! I'll apologize to you as promised. Iwayama: You can bring up your head (in other words don't lower yourself before me) It was a good bout. Why don't you forget about the bet? __________________________________ Page 143 Ishizawa: Bullshit, I don't need your sympathy. Iwayama: I love you. I decided to tell you that if I was satisfied with the bout. Not out of shame but for Ishizawa-san. I was able to come this far because of you, Ishizawa-san. Ishizawa: Iwayama, you...you...you...you... __________________________________ Page 144 Ishizawa: ...are a nice guy. Iwayama: Ishizawa-san. Tokugawa and Kumada think, The world is revolving for those two. Ishizawa to Nonoka: Someday we've got to fight. Nonoka: Oh, okay. Ishizawa: Iwayama! Iwayama: Ishizawa-san! Hashiba: Let's leave them alone. Suzuki-sensei: I'm excited about tomorrow's meeting. Nonoka: Sensei is so thrilled it's making him crazy. Hashiba: Let's leave him to himself too. _________________________ Page 145 Nonoka: It went very well. See ya. Tokugawa: Nice job. Hashiba: See you tomorrow. Nonoka: Anyway, it was a great feeling to win. And Ishizawa turned out to be a nice person. Hashiba: She's just simple. (Uncomplicated.) _____________________________________j Page 146 Nishi High Judo team that lost. Guy1: Thank you for the funny bout. That's why our pride is destroyed. Hashiba: What could I do about it. You're so weak. You know what it's called, doncha? "We went easy on you". Nonoka: He's rubbing them the wrong way. Guy: Shut the hell up! Hashiba: Get behind me! Nonoka: But... I'm all right. I'm all right! _______________________ Page 147 Hashiba: I'm good enough to take you on myself. Nonoka thinks, Yuya can you handle this? _____________________ Page 148 Shinobu: Watch out, Nonoka! ______________________ Page 149 Hashiba: YOU! ______________________ Page 150 Nonoka thinks, Just like what happened before. What's going on? Guy: Shit, don't you forget this! ___________________________ Page 151 Nonoka thinks, Just the same. The same. Shinobu: I can never be close to you. I can't be involved with you. ____________________________ Page 152 Shinobu: I just promised your brother, but I broke it. Hashiba: I thought that was you, Oda Shinobu. __________________________________ Page 153 Hashiba: I threw the guy and you shielded Nonoka. Nonoka thinks, Huh? Wait Yuya! ______________________ Page 154 Nonoka: That means...11 yrs. ago... It can't be! He got injured instead of me and threw the drunk. The one I'm looking for... _______________________ Page 155 Nonoka thinking: Can't be that... Hashiba: Right, that was both of us. __________________________ Page 156 Nonoka thinks, Yuya and Shinobu-kun both. They're my saviors. ---------------------------------- Page 157 Nonoka: You both? I'm so happy to find you. It's so unbelievable. Like I said, I'm so happy. But how? How did you both? You KNEW I've been looking for my savior. Why didn't you tell me? _____________________ Page 158 Hashiba: I... The reason I began to practice judo... When I was little, I saw a boy, my age, on TV. He was called a genius. But one day he suddenly disappeared from the judo world. He was... ______________________ Page 159 Hashiba: Oda, that was you. Nonoka thinks: Shinobu-kun...judo....genius? What?! Outloud: What're you talking about Yuya? __________________________ Page 160 Hashiba: At school, Oda avoided my throw. When I saw that I got curious and began investigating. Now I've got it figured it and recalled it all. Nonoka: Investigated? Recalled? What? Hashiba: Oda, do you mind? ___________________________ Page 161 Hashiba: It was... I began practicing judo. A half year passed. Then Oda came to my dojo for an exhibition. Yuya flashes back to his childhood. Judo master: I guess some of you already know him. He's Oda Shinobu-kun. He's only 5 years old but because of his unusual talent, he's called a genius. Whoever wants to practice with him, he can help you. Little Hashiba thinks, He's the one! I saw him on TV! __________________________ Page 162 Hashiba: YES! YES! MASTER, I WANT TO! Friend: Don't be such a baby! Master: Oh, Hashiba, I see, I see. Little Hashiba: [It's not TV, this is the real one. But he doesn't look that strong. He's like me, just 5 years old. I'll give it everything. I won't lose to him that easily. Master: Bow! Begin! ________________________ Page 163 Shinobu threw Hashiba. Boy 1: Wow! It took just a MOMENT! Boy 2: What'll he be like in the future. It's scary! ___________________________ Page 164 Little Hashiba: Awesome! He's so strong. He's real enough! ____________________________ Page 165 Little Hashiba: I...I... ...because I saw you on TV, I began practicing judo. You were so good. Little Shinobu: Well...can we become friends? Little Hashiba: Huh? What're you saying, we're already friends! Little Shinobu: Yup! Little Hashiba: Well, what's your name again? _______________________________ Page 166 +167 Drunk: What? A fucking brat? ___________________________ Page 168 Little Hashiba to Shinobu, who began to run to protect Nonoka: You! It's dangero... _____________ Page 169 Just a picture. ______________ Page 170 Drunk: Two fucking brats....I'll get you both! ___________________ Page 172 Hashiba: Then I was upset. I just threw him. Nonoka thinks, Because I was confused I thought it was one boy. I still remember the warmth of his hands. I can recall how brave he was when he threw the drunk. ________________________ Page 173 Nonoka: That was...Yuya and Shinobu-kun. Both of them. Hashiba: Someone called an ambulance. Both of us were taken to a hospital. We were asked how we got injured, but... ________________________ Page 174 Shinobu's mother: Shinobu, why did you take on a drunk?! How come?! Yuya's mother: Yu-chan, Yu-chan...if you don't tell us, we can't do anything about it. Shinobu's mother: We shouldn't have let him practice judo. Shinobu's father: Calm down. Little Hashiba: There was something wrong, Obasan. It was... Little Shinobu grabs Hashiba's hand. ______________________ Page 175 Little Shinobu glares at Hashiba. Hashiba: I couldn't tell them. _____________________ Page 176 Hashiba: Though he was seriously injured, he didn't show any tears. And kept concealing the girl who was helped by us, so I couldn't tell them. At the hospital, we were forced to separate by our parents. I haven't seen Oda since then. ________________________ Page 177 Nonoka: Why? _________________________ Page 178 Nonoka: Shinobu-kun, why'd you quit judo? I thought that the one that saved me would still be doing judo. That's why I have done judo. I figured if I was in judo, I'd be able to remeet the him. But why do you hate it? _______________________________ Page 179 Hashiba: Me too. Because of you, Nonoka and I both got started into judo. That day was our beginning. But WHY did you... __________________________ Page 180 Shinobu: Eh heh heh heh heh.... ________________________ Page 181 Nonoka: Shinobu-kun. Shinobu: Hmph! That day was the beginning? That's right it was... It may have been for you, but for me... _______________________ Page 182 Shinobu: ...that day was my end? (doom) Nonoka: End? Shinobu: Because of the scar from that day, I can never do judo again. ____________________________________________________
