[Image][Image] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECCA NO HONOU [FLAME OF RECCA] By Anzai Nobuyuki Volume 11 Chapter 10: The Opening Translated by Kamiya Shuusai [ Chapter Index | Previous Chapter | Next Volume ] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- nemi : from the south gate!!! HOKAGE!! audience (cheer) : hokageeee!! kick their ass!!! (the lights shine on the southern entrance and recca-tachi enters... now the next page is going to really give you a headache... I get dizzy after staring at it for 2 seconds... basically it has all the recaps of what happened in all the previous rounds, all their wins and losses are listed, and I'm not going to bother with that... if you've been reading the translation up till now, you should know what's going on...) Volume 11 Chapter 10 : The Opening KOGANEI KAORU kaoru : [I'm going-- saicho!] ISHIJIMA DOMON domon : [that old man... he said this was a madougu... (holding that marble) but how do I use it......] MIKAGAMI TOKIYA KIRISAWA FUUKO fuuko : [it's starting, I'm so nervous!] HANABISHI RECCA (on the other side...) KAI NOROI MIKOTO JOKER audience 1 : go kill them all, uruha--!! audience 2 : koganei kun, over here--- (heart) audience 3 : hey!! turn on the lights now!! audience 4 : aaahhhh!? my wallet got stolen!! audience 5 : hurry up!!! tatsuko (sweatdrop) : [what a bunch of dumbass.] then--- lights on please! (lights turn on, and everyone's shocked at the sight of the final ring, it's a piece of circular rock which is surrounded by a bottomless pit on all sides, which basically means you fall out, you die... it's supported by one colume/poll on the bottom center... think of those circus tricks with a plate flat on a chopstick... ^^;;) text : the ultimate ring fuuko : w... what...!? it's a bottomless pit under there. kaoru : and it's only supported by one colume... domon (scratch head) : if we fall we die-- text : cute little domon chan recca : yo, uruha kurenai!! where's your captain!? (apparently kurei's not there...) fuuko : they are ignoring you. recca (fuming, literally) : damn...! those~~~ guys~~~!! tokiya : [among them... my sister's murderer...] (kaoru gives joker a thumbs down, joker smiles back evilly...) audience : it's... about to begin... nemi : hi!! this is the live recording! I'm jyuunishi's nemi. and today, we have three guests with us! (sitting with her are...) here they are. kukai : this is kukai. aki : I'm aki... tsukishiro (chewing on a rose ^.^) : is beauty a crime? tsukishio. nemi : kukai san fought the hokage in the first round as the captain of the ku, then-- what do you think about this match? kukai : hmm, actually, I don't know anything about uruha kurenai. as for the hokage... that team still has unknown hidden powers! I expect an exciting round. aki : how naïve... kukai : what? aki : I said you were too naïve. you're... kukai the monk? you should be called the stupid monk! tsukishiro : that was a very shallow view. you need to study more. (suddenly) don't ignore what I say...... aki (cat face) : ya!!? i... I'm listening!! tsukishiro : in the uruha, there exists kurei sama's ten people who are his personal death squad. they are the jyushinshuu!! you can gather up all the normal soldiers up till now and they wouldn't be a match for those ten. they're strong like gods and demons! (diagram, of the jyushinshuu, genjuro and jisho's dead, two of them are unknown... and the rest include my favorite raiha-kun and joker-san, along with mikoto, kai, noroi, and neon...) tsukishiro : the hokage has faced three uruha teams including us! but they all consisted of one jyushinshuu and a few soldiers... but uruha kurenai is different!! kurei sama acts as the center, with four other jyushin!! even I don't know how strong they really are... I predict...... the hokage will be in hell!! kukai : huhuh... tsukishiro : what's so funny!!? kukai : we're all too naïve. tsukishiro : ? (out on the ring, one of the people on kurei's side, mikoto, steps out) audience : one person came forward. is that uruha kurenai's senpou *first fighter* !? don't know, they didn't publish a list for the order of the members for this round! look at the pamphlet, who's that? uh... here! some woman named mikoto. mikoto : hanabishi recca---- kurei sama won't be coming today. what a pity... hohohoho....... fuuko & recca : WHAAAAATT!!? recca : what's he up to!! answer me!!! mikoto : hohohoho... because kurei-sama doesn't have the need to show up. uruha kurenai senpou noroi!! (introduces a new buff looking guy in a mask) this man alone will send all of you to hell. text : noroi --record in this tournament-- 5 out of 5 perfect, all opponents terminated, except the drop out raiha. (^.^ raiha-kun is stronger of course...) audience (shock) : noroi...!!! I know him!! that's the guy who defeated all the opponents last time and won! then... that saakasu the hokage met in round four...... oh... he's the one who killed that female member of saakasu! how cruel...... recca (very, very pissed off) : ...so that bastard kurei's saying that we're not good enough for him... you bitch... (shaking with rage) I'll k--- (gets pushed aside by domon) domon (even more pissed off) : WHAT DID YOU SAY. don't underestimate us!!! we also got here with a lot of difficulties!! we're not here to get screwed!!! why's that!? we've got a pile of reasons!! we won't lose!! we'll have wasted all of our time if we don't win!!! (swing kuchibashi) no need to appear!? (jump into the ring) hokage : domon!! domon : get down here, noroi!! I'll show you the hokage's true power!!! (noroi jump down) recca : amazing... fuuko : unforgivable... we risk our lives just to be treated like idiots... just let him take care these kurei's underlings! he's also one of the hokage ninja force!! (domon shall face noroi in the first match of the final round) aki : ---I don't get it, kukai! why are we naïve!! kukai : ...from the beginning we only thought recca stands out from the rest of the team... because he can control his eight dragons...... but, now I think we're wrong. ensui no mikagami tokiya--- fuujin's master kirisawa fuuko--- kougon anki no koganei kaoru--- all of them matured in front of our eyes after each battle! even though they're just one man in the team, they can definitely rival a jyushin. didn't your master lose to mikagami-kun? aki : ......!!! kukai : each against one of the jyushin!! it's not impossible for the hokage. now they've become as strong as the level of the jyushinshuu!! (only some of them... don't forget raiha-kun ^.^;; I'm so biased...) ishijima domon...!! actually, he improved the most out of the five! domon use to be the burden of the hokage... now he's become a man who carries their name with pride!! tsukishiro : that's right, aki lost to domon. aki (about to beat him up) : shut up you narcissist!!! kukai : as for the results--- we really can't tell...... (the final round is about to start, menou sitting with her father, raiha stands somewhere unnoticeable on the side, gashakura, and kashamaru mixed in among the rest of the audience, neon and kagero also on the side, the old man's there too...) old man : [th~~at stupid recca! he never came back for me... seems like I gotta do this by force......] (the spirits of the saakasu team is with them, and saicho lies unconscious somewhere) yanagi (determined look, for once...) : [everyone... don't lose...!!] mikoto : did you think kurei sama will come if you beat noroi...? maybe you're right, but you forgot one thing. if kurei-sama really trust this noroi... it won't be very easy... domon : [I WILL---- DRAW OUT KUREI!!] nemi : FINALS!! hokage vs. uruha kurenai senpou fight!! DOMON vs. NOROI!!! end of volume 11 chapter 10 translator's note : damn... I thought this chapter is MAD LONG!!! or am I just getting more and more impatient... I guess this is the beginning of the end of the tournament... but don't worry, the finals will be taking up 5 volumes altogether, from vol 12 to 16... and knowing that the most recent story is up to vol 22, isn't not even close to the end... and for all of you who thinks flame of recca is ending anytime soon because you saw images from the final battle or something... there's still a long way to go... the story just took a whole new development in plot... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
