Rurouni Kenshin Chapter #189 "Fighting Among Three" (Part One of Volume One) Cover Page. (Gein) The new utilization of a traditional technique. The one who is going to conquer is going to be me. Page 1. Kenshin: Enishi!! --The cruel revengers-- (Kenshin looking up. Enishi in a hot air balloon.) Kenshin, Kaoru, and Megumi: .......... Page 2. Enishi: (crossed his arms) Don't yell. It's impolite to the people around here. You're telling me.... to come down? You don't seem to understand. You're in no position to order me around. You, who is looking up... and me, who is looking down... This exact position is how it is going to be. --You who killed my sister, and myself who was killed-- Page 3. Enishi: (still in the air balloon) You who sinned as a killer, and it is in my position for me to punish you...! The person who is conquering this time is me... Before you spit towards heaven you should consider the opponent in front of your face. After you run out of opponents, that's when I will come down myself. Page 4. Sanosuke: (yelling) Those words! You're not going to back out on them are you!! --Sanosuke....!---- Enishi: Don't say those old-fashioned words. If I said I'm going to come down I'm going to come down. (thinking) It is me to punish you. From the beginning I never planned to give anyone else the priviledge. Page 5. Sanosuke: You heard that Yahiko! For now it's one on one!! I'll leave that transexual to you!! Yahiko: oh!! Hyouko: brat.... Inui: ha... Page 6. Gein: You finish talking? Twist and cut.... by twisting it you enchance the damage... isn't it? For those people who use our brains to fight, people like us, we start to think alike. Page 7. (Iwanbo's left arms twists) Gein: The skills to escape freely are necessary for defense!! The skills of felxibility are necessary for offense!! (manipulating the puppet) Page 8. --Senwangeki!!-- (Hit Kenshin by the chest) Page 9. (Iwanbo's right arm rolls on the ground. Kenshin on the ground beside it.) Page 10. (spitting blood) Kaoru: Kenshin! Megumi: That amount of blood he spits... he must have internal bleeding...!! Gein: With one hit... very serious damage... Page 11. (Kenshin stands. Iwanbo's right arm behind him.) Gein: Even if you cut off my right arm, just like the word says, no pain at all. I just have to move my fingers, I don't get tired at all. By using the least amount of work, producing the greatest amount of damage. (left arm twsiting again) Definitely safe.... Page 12. Gein: This is the beauty of the functions!!! Kenshin: So this is what puppet play is?! Kaoru: Kenshin!! Page 13. (Iwanbo turning around very fast. Kenshin amaze.) Kaoru: (thinking) Damn! It was not just his arm that can be spinned around easily, his whole body can.... (Kenshin looking back.) --He's behind me...-- Gein: childish.... (fingers moves) Page 14. (Iwanbo's left arm twisting into the ground.) Kaoru: Ken...!! Gein: (looking above to the air balloon) I'm sorry Enishi, I got carried away. I usually don't get carried away like this. I killed him. Page 15. Enishi: (adjusting his eyeglasses) No apologies needed. Looks like the one who is going to punish him is going to be me anyway. (Kaoru in tears.) Megumi: What are you crying for! Watch carefully... What can you do besides looking anyway! (Kenshin holds Iwanbo's right arm to shield the attack of the left arm.) Page 16. Gein: You use Iwanbo's right arm... (thinking) as a shield against the shock of my attack...!!! --ex-hitokiri's heavy words-- Kenshin: It's just puppet playing... No matter how sophisticated the puppet you create or use, as long as you don't bleed or feel pain. All you're doing ends in puppet play. --End of Chapter 189--- Translated by: Tomoe & ShinomoriX
