This translation is © to me and is done expressly for non profit purposes.
(I desparately wanted to know exactly what was happening and since no one else was going to do it for me...)
So no selling, renting or anything else...

[Right... This is a very literal translation, and I have put in some scene descriptions but you are missing out on a lot if you don't have the manga. It looks wonderful. ^_^ No I'm not sick, you just miss out on a lot when you are reading a translation of something which is essentially a visual work.]

WARNING: (Again) - This will have strong language and viiolence in it. I can't help it, the manga's got it. So if you are going to be offended, click 'Back' on your browser now.

Picture of Amon with the title

Title: Four Horns of the Living (Could be Four Aspects of the Living - Something to indicate four sides.)


Page 82.

1.
[Picture of a half gouped Efle (? spelling) Tower - The thing in Paris that looks like an upside down icecream cone. There is goup all around it as well. (Go Amon! I hate that bloody structure!)]

2.
[Picture of a still standing but almost completely gouped Arc de Truimph (? spelling again) (Why does Paris get two pictures, it's not like its a memorable city or anything. The worst part is they speak french! Eek! Yes, my predujices are showing.) Again there is goup around it although there is an intact car infront of it.]

3.
[Picture of a gouped Leaning tower of Pisa.]


Page 83.

1.
[Picture of the Vatican. While it has been gouped it is still standing - sort of.]

2.
[Picture of someone standing in the midst of the goup facing the Vatican. In the fore ground there are what remains of people in the goup although this person doesn't seem to be affected by the goup. There is a bit of smoke around him too.]

3.
[Closer picture of the person. It's Fanatic, he's standing in smoke and you can't see him too clearly so it's possible he's been affected by the goup.]

4.
[Close up of Fanatics face. The goup hasn't effected him. Rather he looks horrified by what has happened to the Vatican. Oh he's still got his gun but he's in no condition to use it. (Note: You can't trust goup to do anything right these days. I was hoping he died earlier!)]


Page 84.

1.
[Side view of Fanatic. The other buildings around the Vatican have also been gouped. Looks like there are some of the marble statues of saints falling down into the goup.

Fanatic: This place... That's not to say...

2.
[Close up of Fanatics head.]

Fanatic: The Vatican and so forth has said to be just in the way... (The Vatican and so forth was not meant to be just in the way...)

(Try taking this to mean something like the Vatican was meant to win. It makes more sense then.)

3.
[Close up of Fanatics machine gun.]

4.
[Close up of Fanatic's rather aggitated eye.]

Fanatic:  Demons (Devils)....

5.
[Fanatic fires his gun in a semi circle into the ground in front of him.]

Fanatic: Stop playing around!!

(I think this has to something to do with the earlier comment. The Vatican was meant to win but the demons have and they have done it easily but they haven't finished him off yet.)


Page 85.

1.
[Picture of the goup with lots of body parts being hit by Fanatics bullets. He is in the back ground still firing the gun. There is a small panel drawn over this one of Fanatics mouth. Presumably he is screaming.]

Fanatic: You're no longer human!! (You've lost your humanity.)

Fanatic: I am God!!

2.
[Panel of the end of Fanatics smoking gun.]

3.
[Panel showing Fanatic breathing and sweating heavily.]

4.
[Panel of Fanatics eye. He is sweating really heavily in this shot.]

Something: Why...

5.
[Panel of the goup. There is voices coming from it or it could be Fanatic thinking to himself. Take your pick and alter the translation slightly to suit. I prefer the voices.]

Voice: Why do I continue to exist (in this world)...

Voice: It's not possible!?

Voice: I didn't have much choice in the matter to be a devil...

Voice: What's happened to me..!?

Voice: Before one is aware (of it), one is taking part on the devil's side....

Voice: You idiot...


Page 86.

1.
[Something appears to be standing in the goup. It has shoes and a head at the top but there are multiple heads and body parts in it as well as computer components. The screen of one of them is showing the number 6:66 (Why am I not surprised?)]

2.
[Close up shot of the top head that's in the goup thing that's standing. It appears to be Nerd.]

Nerd:  An... order...

3.
[Shot of Fanatics eyes, turning around in surprise.]

Nerd: Wha...

(I really really don't know what Nerd is saying here. I could not find the kanji anywhere so I'm adlibing.]

4.
[Panel of Fanatic turning around to face what Nerd has become.]

Fanatic: You... You bastard!?


Page 87.

1.
[Panel of Nerd and Fanatic facing each other. There is goup all around them. Fanatic drops his gun. I think it's out of ammo.]

Nerd: That's right, it's me...

Fanatic: You bastards needed a strong branch (hand) to guide you...

2.
[Panel of Fanatic reaching into his jacket.]

3.
[Panel of Fanatic screaming and aiming a hand gun.]

Fanatic: You're a fine one to talk, devil!!

4.
[Panel of Nerd's gouped head, now adorned with a bullet hole through his forehead.]

5.
[Panel of smoke and the top dome of the Vatican.]

Fanatic: You rotten devil!! Devil!!

Fanatic: Die!!

Fanatic: Die!!

Fanatic: Dieeee!!


Page 88.

1.
[Panel showing the Pyramids in Egypt. They are half gouped.]

Text Box: Egypt

2.
[Panel of the base of a gouped sphinx.]

3.
[Panel of Amon standing on the head of the sphinx.]


Page 89.

1.
[Close up of Amon. Some clouds or smoke in the background.]

2.
[Panel close up of Amon's face. He looks pissed about something.]

Amon: The humiliation!!

Amon: I can't wait any longer. The humiliation I'll give to you...


Page 90.

1.
[Close up of Amon's eye, with Akira's head and torso drawn over it.]

Amon: You put me inside that dog of a human. You contained me...

2.
[Picture of Amon's foot, leaving the Sphinx.]

3.
[Panel of Amon. He has taken flight over the Sphinx. Lots of smoke or clouds in the background.]

Amon: It's a debt I'll surely give back!! SATAN!!

(Basically Amon is pissed at Satan and plans to return all the humiliation he has felt at being trapped within Akira.)


Page 91.

1.
[Picture of that cave in India, but just the top of it.]

Someone:.... A debt to pay back?

2.
[Picture of Dosu 6 and the others looking up at one of the India guys. I'd say it was Big Head.]

Big Head: What do you mean, Dosu 6...

3.
[Picture of Dosu 6. He is standing like he is explaining something and gesturing.]

Dosu 6: I have... No... All humans owe a debt to my brother Fudou!

Dosu 6: Inadequate though my power may be, I Dosu 6 will act!! I will act (represent) on behalf of the greater humanity now to pay back the debt owed to my brother!!

4.
[Close up profile of Dosu 6 with the speech halo.]

Dosu 6: After all... Amon's just the bastard who's locked up my brother's consciousness...

Dosu 6: I will recover it! I swear.

5.
[Profile of one of the Indian guys. I think it's Brow Bones, but it doesn't really matter.]

Brow Bones: But... you should be afraid of Amon. He is a god of killing... As it is you are just a mortal, just one person so what do you think you can do?

Brow Bones: This is self complacent recklessness when caution is called for!!


Page 92.

1.
[Close up of Dosu 6's eyes.]

Dosu 6: He... Recklessness? You're wrong...

Dosu 6: This is merely the assignment of work...

2.
[Panel with Dosu 6 in the foreground. Behind him there are three demons. One looks like a humaniod lion. He has a face in the centre of his stomach. The next one looks like a bull. He has the torso of a human and a bulls head, to go with the body of the bull and has two long horns protruding from the junction between man and bull. The other looks like a bird man. (look at the scan)]


Page 93.

1.
[Close up of the Lion.]

2.
[Close up of the Bull.]

3.
[Close up of the Bird.]

4.
[Panel of some of the India guys they look quite worried at the fierce expressions shown by their visitors.]

Brow Bones: You... You child...!?

5.
[Panel of the three demons standing behind Dosu 6. He is indicating towards them with one hand.]

Dosu 6: The Devilman Army Corps is inside here but... The three strongest and worthy have gathered here.

Dosu 6: These three agree with me that something must be done (before nightfall).

(I think that last bit, before nightfall, is in there but I am not sure.)


Page 94.

1.
[Panel of the head in the Lion's midrift.]

Lion: It is certainly a difficult task...

Lion: But before anything else, it is entirely possible that this isn't a longshot... (Compared to anything else, this isn't a long shot.)

2.
[Panel of a profile of the Bull's face. It's actually very human close up.]

Bull: Fudou has... This death has caused him madness and he has lost his reasoning power and gone out of his mind... Amon has taken his place (usurped his place), taking advantage of his open heart....

3.
[Close up of the Bird.]

Bird/Eagle: That's how things stand. We have to make out move... The time to act is now.

Bird: We'll bring Fudou Akira's consciousness to the surface!

4.
[Panel of Dosu 6 and the Bird. Dosu 6 is in the foreground.]

Bird: This is the very task (solution) Dosu 6 has placed before us... We consider it to be the most fitting way!

5.
[Profile of the Lion's head. The one in his stomach.]

Lion: Anyway the chances of winning are slim without a companion...

Lion: Dosu 6 thought it best to wager on strenght. It is not wrong to consider that.

6.
[Close up of Big Head. (He's got a real high opinion of Dosu 6.)]

Big Head: Thought...?


Page 95.

1.
[Close up of Dosu 6. He appears to be smirking as he reveals his plan.]

Dosu 6: The four of us will unite into one...

Dosu 6: We'll save my brother Fudou!!

2.
[Close up of Brow Bones. He doesn't look thrilled.]

Brow Bones: Wh... What...!?

3.
[Picture from behind Dosu 6. He is looking up to the Indian Guys. Miiko is looking at him with a horrified expression. She has turned to face Dosu 6.]

Miiko: Dosu 6-san, you!!

Big Head:.... You Dosu 6 will....

4.
[Profile of Big Head. Speech time.]

Big Head: For what reason would you merge with these Demons? You do not understand....

Big Head: Do not merge... It is possible for a person to die, or lose their consciousness....

Big Head: For some this can be sweet and pleasurable. However....

5.
[Panel of Dosu 6 and Miiko. They both look quite somber as they listen to Big Head.]

Big Head: Merging... The condition will negate your own will, your existence...

(I think this is something along the lines of what he is saying. There was a bit in that sentence I didn't understand.)

Big Head: Most of all, it is violently painful. It is not something to enjoy...


Page 96.

1.
[Panel of Miiko and Dosu 6. Miiko looks worried but Dosu 6 is undeterred.]

Miiko: Listen, Dosu 6-sa...

Dosu 6 (cutting Miiko off): For that reason, it's very just that I do this. Anything at all!!

2.
[Close up of Dosu 6's eye. It's got the lightning of determination in it.]

Dosu 6: My brother Fudou has bourne that(this) pain!! Surmounted problems!! The same waste of a single existence but I'll give it back to him!! (I'll give my brother his life back.)

Dosu 6: My life is a small price for me to pay!!

3.
[Panel of Miiko slapping Dosu 6.]

Miiko: Listen, Dosu 6!!

(She's so aggitated she forgets the usual -san, on his name!)

4.
[Panel of a surprised Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: Mi... Miiko...?

5.
[Panel of an earnest Miiko. She has tears beginning to form in her eyes.]

Miiko: You haven't understood at all!!

Miiko: Don't become a devilman...


Page 97.

1.
[There is a full picture of Miiko drawn over all the panels on this page. The first panel is a close up of Miiko's face. She's definitely about to cry and is very aggitated about Dosu 6's plan.]

Miiko: Do you want to become like this body? (Do you want to be like me?)

(Remember Miiko is a human demon hybrid, so instead of breasts, belly button and vagina, she has a demon grafted there. IF you have seen the Third OAV, then you know something of what I mean.)

Miiko: This ugly body!!

Miiko: In time you would become disgusted with such a body!!

2.
[Panel of Dosu 6. He looks considering and has a sweat drop.]

3.
[Profile of Miiko's eye. She is crying now.]

Miiko: After so long it generally becomes sort of sad...

Miiko: But.... You must not do this....

4.
[Panel of Dosu 6's clenched jaw.]

Dosu 6: Gu....


Page 98.

1.
[Panel of Miiko's crying face. There are blurry lines behind her. I think it's meant to represent how Dosu 6 sees her.]

Dosu 6: Beautiful.

2.
[Close up of Miiko's crying eyes. It's still a bit blurry, still the way Dosu 6 sees her.]

Dosu 6: Miiko, you are.

Dosu 6: Beautiful....

3.
[Panel of the Devilman Army Corps. Miiko and Dosu 6 are turned away from each other. Merican-jou is looking towards Dosu 6 with a crying expression. (I presume it's 'Oh, what a touching scene'.)]

Dosu 6: I think that.

Dosu 6: Really.

4.
[Close up of Merican-jou. He looks on the verge of tears.]

Merican-jou: Do... Dosu 6....


Page 99.

1.
[Panel of Dosu 6 and Merican-jou. Dosu 6 has his arms on Merican-jou's shoulders. Sort of like the big brother explaining things.]

Dosu 6: Merican-jou, words...

Dosu 6: I can't express myself....

2.
[Close up of Merican-jou. Despite the tears he is grinning and looks almost happy.]

Merican-jou: I know (understand) what you are saying...

Merican-jou: ... It's my turn next!

3.
[Close up of a still sweating but happy Dosu 6. He is smiling.]

4.
[Dosu 6 has turned towards the waiting demons.]

Dosu 6: Well!

Dosu 6: You guys!!


Page 100.

1.
[Picture of the Lion's head (the top one) with open mouth, obviously attacking something.]

Someone: Let's go!!

2.
[Panel of the Lion biting into the Bird's neck. He's also holding the Bird close.]

Someone: guo!!

3.
[Full picture of the Bird and the Lion attacking each other. The Bull is approaching from behind with a demonic aura.]

Someone: Oooooo!!


Page 101.

1.
[Panel of the Bull's chest. The Bird has gotten his claw into it. The Bull looks to be in quite some pain.]

Someone: Gunu!!

2.
[Panel of the Birds talon in the Bull's chest. It's beginning to melt like the goup earlier.]

3.
[Panel of the grip the Lion got on the Bird earlier. Both their heads are nearly unrecognisable due to the gouping process that has got them.]

4.
[Panel of the Bird's talon again. It's almost completely unrecognisable and merged into the Bull's chest. The Bull still appears almost whole.]

5.
[Picture of goup. It's the Bird and Lion's heads, and a wing in the background.]


Page 102.

1.
[Picture of the three demons. They are almost completely gouped into each other. Dosu 6 is watching the proceedings.]

Bull: Come, Dosu 6!!

2.
[Panel of some of the Indian Guys.]

Big Head (thought): The valour (courage) of a lion, the manlike (stout hearted) bird (eagle) (King of the Birds), the strength of an ox....

Big Head (thought): As well as the pinical of the apes...

3.
[Close up of Dosu 6's face. He is sweating really badly and almost looks like he is melthing himself.]

Big Head (thought): Human!!

Dosu 6: Dammit. I'm scared!!

Dosu 6: I'm really scared!!

(I think he says that. If you don't like him saying it then have him think it.)


Page 103.

1.
[Close up of Big Head, still lost in thought.]

Big Head (thought): Th... The dark side of....

Big Head (thought): The strongest, most powerful of the physical world...

Big Head (thought): The Four Heads of the Beast...?!

2.
[Panel of a sneaker.]

3.
[Dosu 6 has begun running.]

Dosu 6: I'm coming!!

4.
[Panel of Merican-jou and Miiko. Miiko still looks anxious.]

Merican-jou: Dosu 6!!

5.
[Profile of Dosu 6.]

Dosu 6: Uoooooo!!


Page 104.

1.
[Picture of Dosu 6's legs and feet, leaping through the air.]

2.
[Picture of one of the really large horns of the Bull. There is goup all around it but it is intact.]

3.
[Panel of Dosu 6 impaled on the horn.]


Page 105.

1.
[Picture of Dosu 6 spitting blood.]

2.
[Panel of the Indian Guys Brow Bones and another.]

3.
[Panel of Merican-jou. He looks worried.]

4.
[Panel of Big Head. Like his counterparts, he is just looking on.]

5.
[Panel of Miiko's eyes. There are still tears there.]

6.
[A full shot of Miiko, shouting at Dosu 6.]

Miiko: Don't die!!

Miiko: Dosu 6-san!!


Page 106.

1.
[Panel of goup reaching up in several tentrils.]

2.
[Panel of Dosu 6's torso. His clothes have vanished and his skin has turned dark. There is goup merging with him all over.]

Dosu 6: Ugyaaaa!!

3.
[Close up of Dosu 6's face. There appears to be goup all over it but it is running almost like blood vessels.]

Dosu 6: I... understand!! I know, Brother!!

Dosu 6:  You... You suffered like this...!!

4.
[Close up of one of the Indian Guy's eyes. It could be Brow Bones or Big Head.]

Brow Bones: The possibility is 10000 to one. (It's a fleeting chance.)

Brow Bones: Dosu 6, you....

(The you used here is not very polite but doesn't rate a curse word. At least, not from me.)


Page 107.

1.
[There is a picture of water with some islands in the back ground.]

Text Box: The Atlantic Ocean.

2.
[Amon appears over the water.]


Page 108.

1.
[Full picture of Amon. He has one wing sort of wrapped around himself and is hovering over the water. The water is swirling up around his feet like a human DNA helix.]

2.
[Close up of Amon's slitted eyes.]

Amon: ....What... Coming....

(Basically he senses something coming.)


Page 109.

1.
[Picture of Amon's feet. The water is no longer calm and is churning around them.]

Amon: A fellow demon...?

Amon: No....

(The word Fellow here is way to nice but it's the best I could do.)

2.
[Picture of Amon. There is lots of water now churning completely around him. Almost forming walls.]

3.
[Distance shot of Amon. The water has risen up in two walls leading to him. (Think Moses parts the Red sea but still with a watery base.)]


Pages 110 - 111.

1.
[This is a double spread. Amon is looking down at the wall of water to what is approaching him.]

2.
[Something that has wings, horns, a bird's head with a lions mane, human arms with three fingered hands, the bull's body and a very thick tail is approaching.]

3.
[Close up of the things head. It's got the Bird's head but there is a part of a human head above that.]

(Look at the scan)


Page 112.

1.
[Close up of that human head that could be seen earlier. It has slitted eyes and the blood vessels are pronounced.]

Dosu 6: Now... I'll pull you out.

Dosu 6: Brother!!

2.
[A panel of a considering Amon.]

Amon: Strange...

Amon: Who is this person who understands me...

Amon: And be this well aware of me!?

(Take the last bit to mean something like Who is this who knows me? Remember neither Amon or Akira have seen this demon before.)
