[123]
Youzen: That's...
Chou Koumei's true form...!!

Youzen: Aiyah---!!

[124]
Bukichi: Master!!

Bukichi: What's wrong with you, Master!!

Bukichi: Please answer me!!

Bukichi: ........he's burning...!!

[125]
Bukichi: Ahhhh!!

Bukichi: Master---!!

104. Middle Boss Battle 6
     -Flower-

[127]
Venus: Ah....
Brother has finally showed his form...!!

Venus: The legendary giant flower... that's Brother's true 
form.

Venus: Nobody can stop him now...
He'll absorb all of this great Earth's nutrition, and turn 
this place into a desert.

Youzen: This flower is incredibly huge...
But, only this is worthy of Chou Koumei...

[128]
Youzen: Uh....

Youzen: .........

Youzen: Transform!!

[129]
Youzen (Kou Tenka): This time, it's a man-eating flower!?

[130]
Youzen (Raishinshi): Heh!

Youzen (Ouma): Looks like we're going to have to defeat you 
once and for all, Chou Koumei!!

Youzen (Nataku): Not so fast!

[131]
Genshi: Youzen can really think on his feet...
Hakutsuru: If he continues like this, he should be able to 
defeat Chou Koumei...

Sipuxiang: Well done, Youzen...
Youzen: Hm. Sipuxiang, good timing, I need a transport!

Youzen: Since our opponent is a giant plant, all we have to do 
is destroy its roots!
I'll have Koutenken attack its weakest point!!

Bukichi: No, you can't do that, Youzen!!

[132]
Bukichi: Master is still in there!!

Sipuxiang: What!?

Youzen: Did he fall in when this flower was growing?!
Or was this planned by Chou Koumei...
(perhaps so...)

Bukichi: Eh?

[133]
Youzen: --------!?
What is this!?

Youzen: SEEDS!?

Genshi: Oh no!? The areas where Youzen destroyed earlier are 
growing more flowers!!
There's going to be more and more of them!!

[134]
Hakutsuru: What do we do!?

Youzen: At this rate, this is going to be never-ending!!

Genshi: Taikoubou...
What is he doing!?

[135]
I'm already dead.

There's no sound... no light... only.... awareness...

Everlasting time.... this is death....

[136]
Risei: ..................
Taiitsu: What is that?

Youzen: This is bad, this is bad! There's more and more of 
them!!
It's going to become a Chou Koumei World!!

Youzen: *thinking* If it were Shishu, what would he do...!?
I don't know.... I don't know...!!

Youzen: Taikoubou-shishu!!

Am I just going to give up and die here, just like that...

[137]
My dream of building a peaceful Human World might never be 
realised...

I wanted to defeat Dakki and Bunchuu, but got beaten by Chou 
Koumei instead...
Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to count on me, after all...

Voice: Is it okay to die just like that?

Voice: Didn't you want to defeat me?

[138]
Dakki: Then, at the very least, you have to get to me!
To give up for such a small thing, that won't do!

Taikoubou: Dakki!!

Dakki: Come on...
Come quickly...

Dakki: Take my hand!

[139]
Is this reality?
Or...

Illusion...

[140]
Youzen: What...what is this...
It's become a Chou Koumei jungle...

Youzen: I...I can't take much more of this...
Sipuxiang, let's leave here first...

Sipuxiang: .....eh?

Sipuxiang: Danger!!
Youzen: Argh!!

Youzen: Aahhhh--- we're going to get eaten, Sipuxiang!!
Sipuxiang: Youzen, think of something!!

Sipuxiang: Youzen!?

[141]
Sipuxiang: Damn it, it's all Taikoubou's fault!!
Moron, it's all your fault!!

Sipuxiang: !!!

Sipuxiang: What is that...!!

Taikoubou: ..............
