Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Hana to Yume
2001 vol. 6, episode no. 95
Translation by Yuki-chan
The episode title page is in black and white and features... Tsukasa......? [I'm not sure] It's a woman with a short dark dress (or a halter top and short skirt), heels, and dark gloves. She has long bangs that must cover half of her face and long hair that goes to her waist. There are roses on the left and thorny vines snaking across the page. The woman has her back to the reader but her face is turned to the left to glance over her shoulder.
Text: What does a woman's back say...? [I don't think there's another way of translating this phrase... but it sounds weird... Maybe it's "What does a woman's back to you mean...?"]
The force from Freya's attack throws Tsukasa back but she manages to stop herself from being blown away completely. Her clothes though are taking quite a beating.
Tsukasa: "......!"
Freya: "See, just with the swing* of this hand of mine, I can put you on your knees." [*She's referring to her wind/air attack that causes damage when she whips her clawed hand (without the pincers extended)... A literal translation is 'air pressure' but that sounds weird...] She brandishes her retracted claws.
Tsukasa: "...... ...I'm not on my knees......!"
Text pointing to Tsukasa: Her hand is on the ground but her knee isn't.
Freya looks evil as she replies. "...... ...There's something about you......... ...that really PISSES ME OFF!!!" She swings her left hand again. An explosion occurs in Tsukasa's general direction and she's is no longer visible.
Akira: "!!!"
Ryuji: "Tsuka...!"
Kumiin 1: "UWA!!"
Ryuji: "!?"
Kumiin 2: "Sandaime! Another one!!" He's pointing in horror.
Ryuji turns to see a very damaged Rai dragging another Ultimate Weapon by his jacket. The downed one is the one Misumi tamed and he appears to be dead.
Ryuji: {---!!! Him---...!!}
Rai has several tears in his clothing and blood is trickling down his face.
As the dust settles, someone is being thrown backwards. Tsukasa manages to skid backwards, landing on her feet again [gee... she must have really good treads on her boots...]
Akira: "!! Tsukasa!! Behind you!!"
A tower of needles suddenly thrust up from the ground behind Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: "...U...!"
Some distance away, Ryuji and his men are dealing with Rai.
Bullets shower over Kuryugumi's members as Rai fires his Gatling gun.
Kumiin/Kanbu: "WAAAAAAAA"
The kumiin and kanbu alike are doing the scream and are trying their best not to be hit in the shower of bullets.
Ryuji: "How many times do I have to repeat myself!!?" {Don't follow me!} "Get out of Megafloat!!"
Mooka: "!! But..." His heart is racing and his suit is looking tattered. He doesn't seem to be injured yet though.
Usui, panting heavily: "We can't just tuck our tails in and run away!"
Another kanbu: "We'll fight with..." This clan head appears younger than the former 2.
The hail of bullets shower around them again.
Clan heads: "DAAAAA!" They look truly terrified as they duck out of the way.
Ryuji retaliates with his gun. "You're in the way! Stay away!!"
Usui, with his hand outstretched to Ryuji who's no longer at the site. "...Sa! Sandaime------!!" {Wait... Aa---!}
Another explosion rips through the area.
Clan heads: "!!!" "...... ......" They have shadows over their faces.
Usui: "...Oh no......... The tremors are getting bigger...!!" {I think...!?}
Some distance away from where Freya and Tsukasa are fighting.
Ouguro is walking while speaking to Freya via his laptop.
Ouguro: "---...Well... ...15-20 minutes is sufficient for complete destruction. ...But... if the runway is destroyed then it's useless..."
Freya, responding: "...OK... Go on ahead. Get aboard the passenger plane so we can take off immediately. I'll be right there."
Ouguro: "...Aa." {Okay then.} He looks off in the distance to see the tower of needles.
Back to Tsukasa and Freya.
Tsukasa: "......"
Instead of being pierced from beneath by Freya's hair, Tsukasa had managed to grab hold of a 'lock of hair' and is hanging on tight, several metres above the ground.
Text pointing to Tsukasa: Hayanie. How birds pierce their insect prey on tree branches. [Ummm... I don't know if the meaning given here is for real... I don't know what a hayanie is (,it's not in my dictionary) but haya = speed/swiftness, and nie = offering/sacrifice...]
Freya, looking up at her prey: "...... ...Aren't you stubborn..."
Tsukasa, panting: "...Lately things have been going well." {...Just now... she said 'So we can take off immediately'......} "God watches over good kids."
Freya: "...Fun... What can a god in the other world who only watches over people possibly do...? The only ones who can affect people are the humans in the world..."
Tsukasa: {...Dammit...... If the 'kagi' leaves Japan then---...}
Freya: "...Like how killing you or letting you live... is decided by a single swing of my hand!!" Freya whips her left hand and extends her fingers at the same time, destroying the pillar of needles [does that mean her hair is shorter now?].
Tsukasa is flung towards a wall.
Tsukasa: {...It's no use...!! I can't... reposition myself------...!!} She grits her teeth and closes her eyes shut.
There's a huge crash and several of the 'needles' pierce and destroy a wall. [Actually, they kinda look like huge broken chopsticks or lances...]
Ryuji starts and looks up for a moment.
Ryuji: "---..." He seems to be alone in a warehouse-like area where boxes and crates are lined up against the walls. {...Tsukasa---...? ...Dammit... I can't stay calm...... If I knew it was going to be like this then I would have done tried to remain there and fight---... There's nobody there to assist her...... ...I have to get back...... ...but... I'm running low on bullets... How do I stop that bakemono......}
He pauses and reads the label on the crates stacked up beside him. "---..." Ryuji taps on a crate. {Odourless... ...ethyl alcohol.} [Is there really such thing as odourless ethyl alcohol? It's C2H5OH]
Nearby, Rai seen to be walking calmly.
Rai: "......" He stands at the doorway and glances in the room only to see crates stacked high and a forklift. He slowly raises his head.
Ryuji: "---..." He seems to be perched on a low wall [maybe on top of a huge shelf.] {...What's this... ---...Why won't he come in---...? ...Does he know......!?}
Suddenly there's a blur of movement above Ryuji's head by the ceiling. [Now that I look at it, I think Ryuji was on the overhang over the doorway... Though how he climbed up there is a mystery......]
Ryuji dives out of the way and fires at Rai.
Meanwhile, the clan heads and some of the kumiin had managed to catch up with Ryuji.
Clan head: "A!"
Usui: "!!"
Ryuji is down on his back, fending off an attack by Rai. Ryuji had managed to trap Rai's arm between the knife in his wrist watch and his gun. Rai's lower left arm seems to have sprouted numerous blades.
Rai leans downwards suddenly, putting his weight on his left arm.
Ryuji: {......Not good......!! I can't overpower him---!!}
Clan head in the white suit: "Taaaa!!" He opens fire.
Ryuji: "!!"
Rai dodges the spray of bullets easily.
Mooka: "He got away!!"
Usui: "You suck!!"
The clan head in a white suit: "It's better than hitting Sandaime!!" {If you're going to complain then why don't you try shooting!!}
Another clan head in a pin stripe suit: "Sandaime---!"
They suddenly hear a splash. Ryuji gets up suddenly.
Ryuji: "!!"
Rai: "......?" His shoes and his pants seem to dripping with liquid.
Ryuji: "All of you, escape!!"
The clan head in the pinstripe suit: "...... E?"
Ryuji fires into the puddle and suddenly the liquid (the alcohol) ignites.
Rai: "!!!" His pants aflame, he tries to jump up onto the crates.
Ryuji: "Hey now... It's dangerous over there."
Usui: "Hi...!"
Pinstripe guy: "...! Fire......!"
Ryuji grabs a machine gun from the clan head's numb hands and fires into the containers.
Rai's eyes are wide as an explosion rips through the room.
Clan heads: "HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!" [It's a scream BTW...]
Ryuji: "......"
There's a funny picture of the clan heads in panic running for their lives from the burning room.
Ryuji: {...Tsukasa------...!!}
Back outside.
Some of the 'needles' shift as the wall crumbles a bit more. Bits of rubble fall to the ground, and a small pebble size chunk bounces off of Tsukasa's face.
Tsukasa opens her eyes. "......" She focuses on the building in the distance. {...Wh...... ...at......... I'm ...alive...? ...Why...?} The building in the distance gets fuzzy as she focuses on something nearby... a hand.
Tsukasa: "............" {...A hand...?} "!?" She suddenly lifts her head. Slowly, she crawls up and out and turns around.
Akira is lying motionless just behind her. Several of the 'needles' are pierced in his jacket.
Tsukasa: {Akira-san------...!! No way...!!} "A Akira-san......!?" She shakes his shoulder. {Why...!?}
Freya, her eyes wide: "...No way...! He's still alive...!!" Her SD form is rather scary looking with her bared fangs. [Her hair doesn't look any shorter...]
Large text: ARE YOU A COCKROACH!?
Tsukasa doesn't react to Freya at all. {Akira-san, Akira-san, are you all right?} She's crying as she tries to wake him up. {Why are you in a place like this...?}
Freya: {Ignoring...!? He's ignoring me!?} She watches as the words 'Are you a cockroach' bounce off Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: "That's right! Hold on, I'll patch you up the best I can..."
Freya: {That gaki...!!}
Tsukasa: "I think I have some of that special bandage left! The one that stops bleeding!"
Freya: {I thought from that moment that I didn't like him, but now I hate him even more...!!} She's referring to the time when Tsukasa challenged Freya with her eyes. The female Ultimate Weapon starts talking to herself. "It's strange that I'm getting so angry with a guy..." {Even if he's the enemy, even if he's busaiku, as long as he's a guy... I'm friendly up to the last blow......} "...You... Are you lacking something as a man or something!?"
Tsukasa twitches.
Freya: "...!" {He reacted to that.} "...I get it... You're... not really a man."
Tsukasa's jaw drops in shock.
Freya, pointing angrily: "You're gay!!" {You are gay!! You don't have something that makes you a man and you have the heart of a woman right!! That must be it!!}
Tsukasa transforms into a dog [?]
Freya, still pointing: "And on top of that! You love Kuryugumi's kumicho right!!?" {As proof, you always tried to protect him from my attacks.}
The Tsukasa dog blushes.
Freya, now with her arms crossed. "And that cop likes you!!"
The Tsukasa dog raises her head.
Freya, explaining: "...That cop caught you as you were flying through the air and crashed into the wall himself."
There's an image of Akira catching Tsukasa in mid-air and then slamming into the wall while protecting Tsukasa.
Freya: "Actually, seeing how fine you are, it seems like he completely cushioned the blow for you."
Akira is motionless.
Tsukasa: "---..." {...Akira-san---...}
Freya holds her head and sighs. "...To think he went that far. I don't really care who falls in love with who but~~~ to sacrifice himself to protect someone else, that cop is so... baka."
Tsukasa lifts her head angrily. "...What did you say......? Damn you!! I dare you to say it again---!!"
Ryuji: "!" He and his gang had just arrived on the scene.
Freya: "...What's this, getting angry all of the sudden?"
Mooka, in the background: "What's this? What are they arguing about?"
Freya: "You're pissed because I just called your saviour baka?" {You didn't even glance this way earlier.} "Or is it 'sympathy' or obligation or human nature which is disappearing from this earth?" She chuckles. "...No way...... ...You guys are disgusting." Her eyes look cold as she smiles.
Tsukasa snaps and turns around to stand and face Freya. ".......! You bastard------!!"
Freya: "!!?" Her face loses its coolness as she stares at Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: "How 'bout I make it so that you can never open that mouth again---!!?"
The kumiin and kanbu stare in disbelief at the sight before them. Usui points as everyone else stares with their jaws hanging loose.
Ryuji: "......!"
Freya: "..Wha... ...Y...! You......!" {...Re......} "......! You're really a girl----------!!" She stares in horror.
Tsukasa had stood up but unfortunately for her, the army gear jacket she was wearing had ripped open. The cloth she had used to bind her breasts back also seems to be torn. Tsukasa hasn't noticed anything yet though... [To be honest, she has very little clothing intact on her...]
