I am Yumenoukouji Satoru, the new hero replacing Taikoubou. 
Nice to meet you!!

[084]
Satoru: Oh no, I'm going to be late!!

It was on purpose! A tardy transfer student!!

Satoru: How am I going to explain this!
On the first day of transferring, even...!!

I'm Yumenoukouji Satoru, age 15.
I'm a mixed blood of Japanese and French origins!!

Because of my father's job, I begin my days at the National 
Ennui Campus today...
Today is my first day, the first of many days to come!!

Yumiko: Wait, Satoru!!

[085]
Yumiko: I am your rival, and also your childhood sweetheart 
and friend, Aigawa Yumiko!
Today, I must beat you and become the first in Japan!!

Satoru: Yu...Yumiko! You came after me all the way from 
Hokkaido!?
Yumiko: Hah!! Hah!!

Jun: So! You are Satoru!
Satoru: Who's there?!

Jun: I am Yumiko's fiance, Souma Jun!
I am 15 years old, a world class boxing champion!!

Jun: How dare you do that to Yumiko...!!
Yumiko: Wait... Jun, this is a misunderstanding!!

[086]
Jun: Take that~~ Go to hell~~~

Yumiko: Satoru!

Satoru: Ah.....

Satoru: Pun...
Punchira! *heart*

  (* Translation note: How do I translate "punchira"? @_@;
     It means peeping at someone's underwear. T_T;)

Youzen: .......................

102. Middle Boss Battle 4
     -Interlude, National Ennui Campus!-

Youzen: Wha..what is this.....

(On screen)
Satoru: Pun....punchira!

Youzen: Chou Koumei intends to use such a thing as the new 
series...!?

[088]
Youzen: Even if the hero is dead, I won't let you continue the 
series with this sort of manga!!
(The editor's going to kill us!!)
Genshi: You definitely have to put a stop to this, Youzen!

Youzen: In that case, looks like I'll have to be the one to 
fight Chou Koumei!!

Youzen: Watch me!!

Youzen: -------------eh?

Bukichi: I don't believe it! I won't believe it!
Master, he---!

[089]
ChouKoumei: Oh?

ChouKoumei: He can actually run on water...?
I see, before the right foot sinks, he steps with the left 
foot... natural born doushi are truly frightening...

Bukichi: Master---!!
Sipuxiang---!!

Bukichi: Come on out!!
I don't believe it! Don't believe it!!

[090]
Bukichi: Ah....
Ah.....

Bukichi: Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh---!!!

[091]
Bukichi: Aaahhh.....

Youzen: What a great sonic wave...
Bukichi...

Hakutsuru: A frightening sound...!!

[092]
Bukichi: Uwaaahh~~~!!

ChouKoumei: Uh....!!

[094]
Youzen: To think that he could...!!
Do that to Chou Koumei...

Queen: They're off the ship!!

Bukichi: You...
It's you----

[095]
Bukichi: !!!

ChouKoumei: I didn't expect this...
It's not possible that I would be defeated by you...

[096]
ChouKoumei: If I use this Kinkousen to kill you, it will definitely 
be very interesting...
But to fight like this against a person like you who has no 
paopei, that goes against my principles!

ChouKoumei: Unshou!!
Venus: I understand, Brother!!

Bukichi: Gyah!!

ChouKoumei: Excuse me, Natural Born Doushi!
It'll be best to suck you into the Kongenkinto!!

[097]
Bukichi: I'm not going!!
Chou Koumei! I will never forgive you!!

ChouKoumei: .................
You are a child unsuited for fighting...

Venus: You....Are you sick of living!
Power up!!

Bukichi: Uhhh.....

Bukichi: Uhhhhh....

[098]
Bukichi: MASTER---------....

[099]
Youzen, etc.: !!?

ChouKoumei: What is that...

[101]
ChouKoumei: This...
Could it be... that's...

Youzen: Master Genshi Tenson, what is that...

Genshi: Haha...
