Sazan Eyes (3x3 Eyes) Volume 1 Chapter 9: Fujii Yakumo part 4 Translation by Dan Su Anime Berkeley Tatchan: What the hell happened to Natsuko?! Yakumo! Yakumo: I don't know! Don't just stand there, we've got to catch them! If we don't, God only knows what's going to happen! I need your help, Takuhi! (to himself) Shit! He did something to Natsuko. Yakumo frees Takuhi from Pai's walking stick. Natsuko: ? Yakumo: If you hurt Natsuko...I won't forgive you! Takuhi grabs Natsuko and Pai. Nearby, the one-eyed monster is watching. Monster: So...they've caught...them... Soon...the San Ji Yan...will be...mine... Soon...I want to...suck...the San Ji Yan's blood... That Wu...could...mean trouble... A security guard spots the monster standing at the edge of the building. Guard: Hey you! Over there! Get down from there! Isn't it dangerous to be standing there like tha- ?! The monster bites the guard. Guard: Waaa! Monster: ... The guard is down for a moment but then he rises, with an eye-blob attached to his neck. He seems to be under the control of the monster. Monster: Bring me the San Ji Yan. Guard: Yes sir... Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Yakumo is talking to Takuhi, trying to coax it back into Pai's walking stick. Yakumo: "Thank you" She's saved. Thanks to you, Pai is also safe. Now, could you go back into the stick? See, I'm Pai's friend. Yakumo shows Takuhi his "Wu" mark. Takuhi goes back into the stick. Yakumo: Whew... Tatchan, how's Natsuko doing? Tatchan: I dunno... Tatchan: Shit...it's all that monster's fault... The monster that looked like Dracula... Will Natsuko also be leaving our company [Dachinko]? Yakumo: ... Tatchan: Natsuko...is it too late for you? You were so cute...how could this happen to you... Natsuko...Natsuko...Natsuko... Yakumo: Dammit...Just when I decided to leave... Dammit...it's all my fault... Shit! I'm going to get you for this!!! Yakumo and company are riding in a taxi. Yakumo: Don't worry, Tatchan. I will find a way to turn myself back into a human. Rest assured, Natsuko can return to her normal self. I'll return Natsuko to normal even if I have to kill that monster. Tatchan: Yakumo... Yakumo: Anyways, can you take this charm off Pai's forehead? I can't touch it... Tatchan: OK...? The taxi approaches a roadblock. Taxi driver: What's up? Is something wrong? Policeman: N-Nope... It's...nothing...serious... The policeman shoots the taxi driver. There's an eye-blob monster on the policeman's face. Policeman: Ge...ge...ge... Yakumo: Awww shit!!! Tatchan, get the hell outta here! Tatchan: No way...It's too late, Yakumo... The taxi is completely surrounded by eye-blob-possessed people. The crowd moves in on Yakumo and company. Yakumo: What the hell?! I can't return Natsuko to normal this way... She'll be killed before I can meet the leader (monster). (thinking) I'd better do something... Yakumo notices Pai being carried off. Yakumo: Pai!!! Pai: Ya...Yakumo... Yakumo: PAI!!!!! Natsuko: Ge...ge...ge... You made a...big mistake... Yakumo: You! What do you plan to do with Pai? Natsuko: I'm going...to bite her...She will be mine... The...the secret of...eternal youth...and immortality... will be mine... Yakumo: No... Natsuko: Ge...ge...ge...How simple... Hmmm...this woman...seems to...like you... She dreams...of being raped...by you... Ge...ge...ge...How amusing... Tears are coming from Natsuko's eyes... Yakumo: !! Natsuko: So...Why don't...you rape her... Yakumo: Natsuko!!! Stop it! You coward! Yakumo is being held back by the crowd. Yakumo: Even though you've taken Pai away from me, you still can't face me alone? What...Are you that scared of me? Natsuko: Co-coward? You think I'm scared? On a giant clock platform next to a building, the monster has Natsuko keep Pai immobilized while it prepares to fight Yakumo. Monster (thinking): This punk...thinks...I'm a coward... He thinks I'm scared... Monster: I will not be laughed at! You're...just a little...brat...who's immortal...but... Ge...ge...ge... As you wished...we are now...face to face. Yakumo: Heheh...I'm waiting for you. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Here I come! Yakumo: Come on! The monster jumps down from the platform to attack Yakumo. Tatchan: Ya...Yakumo... Yakumo barely avoids the monster's attack. Yakumo (thinking): This guy's pretty good. There's no way I'm going to beat him. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Already running away? Now...who's the coward? Yakumo: Shit. I can't say anything... This is different from the Hong Kong monster extermination. You think you can win without any kind of preparation? Just as Yakumo reaches the platform Pai's on, the monster jumps in front of him. Monster: So are you going to beg the San Ji Yan for help? Yakumo: Dammit. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... I'm going to...keep your head in a bottle forever... The monster raises its hand, ready to blast Yakumo. Yakumo: W-Wait! I have a last request! Whatever you do, return Natsuko and everybody else back to normal. Promise me! The monster ignores Yakumo's words and blasts Yakumo's head off. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... That will only happen...when I die... Ge...ge...ge... What a weakling... The beheaded Yakumo charges at the monster. Monster: !! What...the...?! Yakumo runs past the monster and towards Pai. He manages to remove the charm from Pai's forehead. San Ji Yan: I'll see you in hell, scum bag. Yakumo slaps the charm on the monster's eye, removes the cap from Pai's walking stick, and shoves the open end into the monster's mouth. San Ji Yan: Takuhi? The monster expands and blows up like a balloon. San Ji Yan: Using Takuhi to blow up your opponent from the stomach... Not bad... Yakumo's body is wandering around, searching for Yakumo's head. Pai is carrying Yakumo's head some distance away. San Ji Yan: This is what you get for not taking that charm off earlier. Yakumo's body: My head... Yakumo's head: I want to be human again... ---End of Chapter 9
