Tokageroh: NO!!!!! You really destroy the sword !? This precious sword, worth dying for… This must be a nightmare!
Yoh: That's enough, Tokageroh. That's why you lose to Amidamaru.

Tokageroh: What?
Yoh: Taking is only temporary, giving lasts forever. Amidamaru is strong because he always lives for friend. A person who holds his friendship for 600 years is different from you, who holds vengeance for 600 years. Now it's time to quit… and reincarnate

< Title Chapter 22: Our Ryu-san >

Tokageroh: Reincarnate?
Yoh: Your revenge plan fails, and you cannot beat Amidamaru anyway.
Tokageroh: Hmph…
< Amidamaru comes out from Yoh >
Yoh: So just let it go and be happy. You must be tired, carrying anger for 600 years.

Tokageroh: Be < thinking > …happy?
Manta: Yoh uncombines from Amidamaru? < thinking > or he wants to teach Tokageroh something?
Yoh: Everyone should live happily. If you forget this stupid vengeance and go to heaven, you will not suffer anymore. You staying here also makes Amidamaru suffer. Or you need me to send you?
Tokageroh: Shut up! There is no way I will go away. I have waited for 600 years just for today. Let me tell you something.

< Ryu points knife to Manta >
Tokageroh: I will reborn only after I see Amidamaru in despair. I will cut this kid's throat, and let see where can you put your big mouth.
Manta < thinking >: Knife?
Amidamaru: He still carries weapon! Lord Yoh we have to act quick!

Tokageroh: Too late! Don't preach me about your friendship nonsense anymore!
Manta: No!
Yoh: You still don't get it. That's why you can never defeat Amidamaru, or even Ryu.

< Ryu hencemen punch Ryu and save Amidamaru >
Tokageroh: These people.

Henchmen: Ah! Apache (nickname). Blue Chateau (nickname). Space Shot (nickname). The people who are most loyal to Ryu-san attacks him.
< Muscle Punch comes >
Muscle Punch: That's enough. Our Ryu-san is not this kind of scum.

Henchmen: Muscle Punch (nickname)
Muscle Punch: Yo. You all right, kind?
Manta: Ah.. yeah.. < thinking > These people help me? But… "Our Ryu-san is not this kind of scum"? So… Ryu is not a scum? Isn't that why Tokageroh choose him?
< henchmen holds Ryu >
Ryu: Release me now! If you don't listen to me, I will kill you all.

Blue Chateau: Stop talking about killing, Ryu-San.
Space Shot: Even everyone accuses you of being bullies, but you are always kind to us.
Blue Chateau: Do you remember what you said to us when we first attended school?
Space Shot: Do you remember when we were beat up by Yakuza*(1) at summer festival?
Henchmen: Yes! Ryu-san used to make mochi*(2) for an outcast like us. Or treat us Manju*(3) during winter!
Muscle Punch: I… I cannot forget your word. Your word that you will find best place for an outcast like us…

Muscle Punch: "Because we are friends"

Manta: Friend? Ryu can be possessed because he is a good guy?
Yoh: So, Tokageroh, will you give up? This is why you lose. Ryu has friends who he can trust with his life. If you have a friend like that, you will not lose to just one person 600 years ago.
Tokageroh: Friend…

Tokageroh: Friendship? You all make me sick! Listen, in this world, you can only rely on yourself! I don't believe in those nonsenses you say!
Amidamaru: He gets even more and more depressed…
Yoh: If we don't do something… We can't exorcise him out… Ryu's body almost reaches his limit. Isn't there anything we can do to help him?
Ryu: Heh heh heh. I won't go away easily. I still have ace up my sleeve.

Tokageroh: Amiamaru, combine yourself now! Or I will kill this body!
Henchmen: Ryu-san, What are you doing?
Amidamaru: You bastard, this is cheating…
Tokageroh: Do it quick! You want to see your friend dies?

Anna: Quit yapping, will ya? If you want to do it, just do it!
Everyone: What!
Manta: You will abandon Ryu?
Anna: Coming to other people's house in the middle of the night like this… Do you know what time it is? It's 8 p.m. already.
Ryu: 8 p.m You don't care about this guy?
Anna: Duh. So you don't dare to do it.

Ryu: What?
Anna: If you kill that body, you will not have anyone to possess and will be just spirit. By that time, I will send you straight to hell. I am not as sensitive as Yoh, OK? If you want it that way, go ahead.
Ryu: H.. Hell.

Ryu: SO what?
Tokageroh: You don't know anything, sister. I live in hell since I was born. A world of decay because of war, everyone has to struggle to live. Stealing, killing, even eating the dead, I have to do all of these just to survive.

Tokageroh: I won't lose to those people who dream about friendship. If there is anyplace that is worse than the world I live in, I want to see it. Don't you think, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru: Don't do something stupid, Tokageroh!
Ryu: Ha ha ha. I am not afraid of hell!

Translation Note:

*(1) Yakuza : Japanese mafia.
*(2) Mochi: A kind of Japanese desert, usually stuffed with Red Bean. Tasty. :)
*(3) Manju: Actually it looks exactly like Mochi, but it is food, not desert. Made from flour (sort of oriental bread, so to speak). Usually stuffed with pork. Also tasty :)
