Where's Yakumo? Bakinpa: He went to find Connelly! Bakinpa: He snuck out through thw window to avoid the bodyguards. Pai: Eh? Bakinpa: !? Maria: I have to take care of something. You wait here until I call you. Bodyguard: Yes, ma'am! Bakinpa: Is something wrong? Maria: Shhh!! Maria: Quick, get out of here through the window!! Bakinpa: !? Pg 160: Bakinpa: What's going on... Maria: Fujii is challenging my old man!! Maria: If he gets angry, you're all dead!! Pai: Challenging? Maria: He wants to fight a match!! Connelly: If you want to die in the ring, that's fine. Connelly: What's the point if I already know the results? Connelly: I refuse! Unless you are a tall fighter, I will not bargain with the Japanese. Yakumo: I understand what you're saying, but then there isn't much else I can do for you... Yakumo: And I can't leave without knowing how to defeat Benares! Connelly: That's enough!! Gonzales!! Get him out of here!! Pg 161: Gonzales: Yes, sir!! Yakumo: !? Connelly: !! Gonzales: You bastard!! Yakumo: !? Yakumo: !! Pg 162: Yakumo: By the name of Yakumo Fujii!! Connelly: !? Yakumo[thinking]: With the smallest power possible... Yakumo: Come out!! Kuan-Yaa!! Pg 163: Connelly: What did you...? Yakumo: It's the secret Asian art called "ki"!! (Bullshit!) Connelly: Umm... uhh... Yakumo: Well? Will you gamble me? Yakumo: I'd also like to check... Yakumo: If you really aren't Madurai's descendant, then I'd like to find out who was it in your clan that defeated Benares... Connelly: I don't understand this "ki" of yours! Go home!! Connelly: I wouldn't bet on you, and neither would anyone else! This bet cannot be sanctioned!! Yakumo: How could this be!! Pg 164: Connelly: Are you planning on using this black magic to kill your opponent? Connelly: The guests will be startled and label it a cheap trick!! Yakumo: Umm... Bakinpa: Then you don't have to bet... Bakinpa: I will bet my entire stock of 60,000 pounds on Fujii to win. Bakinpa: Now the gamble is on!! Connelly-san. Yakumo: !? Connelly: H-how did you get in here? Yakumo: I-Information Trader-san... Bakinpa: If Mr. Fujii loses, then you can have my car or my money!! Bakinpa: But if he wins, I don't want money. You only have to tell us how to defeat "Benares"!! Pg 165: Connelly: Alright then! Connelly: I accept this bet. Connelly: But I'm telling you this beforehand, I don't know who this "Benares" person is. Is that alright? Bakinpa: That's fine. As long as we win, you agree to help us on our research! Bakinpa: This way, at least we might find something. Connelly: I understand our agreement. Connelly: However... Connelly: I will choose your opponent!! Connelly: The match will begin in three days! Agreed! Pg 166: **Book 13, Story 23 - Yakumo Knocked Out** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 167: Chachai: Haahh!! Pg 168: Maria: That's terrible! He made Chachai your opponent...... Yakumo: It's okay, it doesn't matter who it is! Maria: But... can you win? Maria: Your opponent is a dangerous Thai boxing fighter who's forbidden to use other fighting styles except to attack the face using their elbows!! Yakumo: Hmm... you might not like your father's business, but you sure know a lot about it. Maria: This is not time for jokes! Maria: How can you be so calm and relaxed? You could be killed! Pg 169: Yakumo: It's fine!! Yakumo: I survived through your shotgun, didn't I? Yakumo: No matter who I'm fighting, I have enough confidence that I will not lose. Yakumo: The only problem is... Yakumo: I'm not confidence enough to win without killing my opponent... Maria: You're worried over that? Maria: Can't you just do what you did to fight that demon? Just hit him and it's over? Yakumo: Never mind that now. Where's the Information Trader? Maria: He's doing research on my father's bloodline, but it's no use... Maria: My history is on my mother's side. Maria: There's nothing on my old man. Maria: "Connelly" might even be a fake name! Yakumo: But that doesn't mean it's not worth researching for! Pg 170: Maria: That's completely pointless! Yakumo: Huh? Maria: My father's first name is "Sean"! Sidebar: Sean Connelly Yakumo: A-Are you kidding me...? Yakumo: T-that old dirtbag... Yakumo: Well, I guess there's no other option than to beat Chachai and get the information stright from the old guy. Man: Urgh!! Chachai: You're useless!! Get out, Bonchai!! Bonchai: Waahh!! Pg 171: Chachai: Somebody as useless as you do not deserve to be my training partner!! Chachai: You're fired!! Go back to the mainland!! Bonchai: Chachai! Don't do this!! Bonchai: If you cut me off, brother, then I won't have any money to send back to the village! My family can't survive... Chachai: Then why don't you beg the kid to let you be in the ring!! Chachai: No one has died in the ring recently, it's not as rowdy as it once was!! Chachai: But if you were to die in his place, then the money earned can be sent to your village. Pg 172: Chachai: But before that can happen, someone needs to die. Chachai: Heh... Chachai: Fighting a kid is so boring.. I wonder if he'll even last two seconds after the bell rings? Chachai: But on the other hand, earning 60,000 pounds just like that isn't a bad thing. Maria: Wow!! How cool!! I really like that!! Yakumo: Hey, hey!! Yakumo: Someone who judges his opponent just from appearance can't be much, anyway! Chachai: What'd you say!? Pg 173: Chachai: Do you really want to die that badly, kid? Yakumo: That's exactly what I'm thinking. Yakumo[thinking]: Great!! This will give me a chance to see what this guy is about before the fight. Yakumo[thinking]: Let's see how my immortality fares against Thai Boxing. Yakumo: I hope you don't mind a fight before the match. Chachai: Now you've pissed me off. Gonzales: Stop, Chachai!! Fighting before the match is prohibited. Chachai: Shut up! Thisisn't a fight!! Chachai: What's the point of a match ending before it even begins? I'm just teaching him the art of Thai Boxing. Pg 174: Bonchai: Brother!! Stop this!! If the boss finds out about this... Chachai: You wanna teach me something? Wait 10 years! Chachai: Get lost, you piece of trash!! Bonchai: Waahh!! Yakumo: Hey! Are you alright!! Chachai: Hmph! Chachai: Here I come!! Kid!! Yakumo: !! Pg 175: Chachai: Haaahh!! Yakumo: So fast... Yakumo: !! Yakumo: Ugg... Yakumo[thinking]: Uggghh...... Yakumo[thinking]: That hit just broke my arm!! Chachai: Now you die!! Pg 176: Chachai: What? Bonchai: You can't do this! Brother... Bonchai: Don't disobey the boss... Chachai: How dare you... Yakumo: I'm saved... Bonchai: Brother! If you really want a fight... Pg 177: Yakumo: !! Yakumo: Ugh... Bonchai: I'll fight him for you!! Yakumo[thinking]: It's... it's over... Pg 178: Bonchai: How's that? Chachai, I'm still useful, right!! Chachai: You get to keep your life, kid!! Chachai: But I'll definitely kill you during the match!! Chachai: That is, if you don't run away...... Chachai: Hahahahaha!! Pg 181: **Book 13, Story 24 - Gong** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 184: Yakumo: WAAHH!! Yakumo: Pai... Yakumo: Where am I... Pai: You're okay... Pai: Someone said you were beaten, I was really worried. Yakumo: !? Yakumo: That's right! Chachai and I had a fight... Pg 185: Yakumo: Where are the others? Pai: I heard the match is on tonight, so they are all in the basement floor. Yakumo: And the Information Trader? Pai: Eh? He was here with me taking care of you in the morning... Pai: What? Yakumo... Yakumo: No... it's nothing!! Yakumo[thinking]: I had no chance to counter... Yakumo[thinking]: Just trying to dodge look all my strength!! Yakumo[thinking]: Even if I'm immortal, it seems there's no way to break a Thai Boxing hit... Yakumo[thinking]: Is there no way to beat Chachai? Pg 186: Voice 1: Hi!! You!! Voice 2: Even if you have the Miss's permission... Voice 3: Outsiders are prohibited from entering! Get out!! Voice 3: The selected fighters cannot have any contact with outsiders... Voice 1: I'm not an outsider!! Voice 4: Stop this!! We've already had enough trouble as it is!! Don't add anymore for us!! Voice 1: I understand that... but it was them that put their dirty hands on me!! Voice 4: I'll take care of the cleaning bills!! Voice 1: Oh! That's so great!! I never even thought about that, but... hohoho... Yakumo: That person can't be... Pai: Umm... Pg 187: Voice 1/Ling-Ling: Hi!! Ling-Ling: I came to root for you! Ling-Ling: It really is... Pai: Eh... Ling-Ling: What kind of expressions are these!! Ling-Ling: Are you not happy that I came here? Yakumo: That's not the problem... Yakumo: Ling-Ling-san! Do you know Thai Boxing? Ling-Ling: Huh? Pg 188: Yakumo: Quick, teach me about Thai Boxing!! Ling-Ling: Sure, but why do you...... Gonzales: Are you all done greeting each other!? Gonzales: Prepare for the match now!! Japanese Boy!! Yakumo: Wait!! Isn't the match supposed to be on the day after? Yakumo: I know it was wrong for her to barge in like that! But she has nothing to do with the bet!! Gonzales: Hurry up!! Yakumo: Wait a minute!! If you shoot me with the gun, I have a right to call off the bet! Yakumo: You guys would loose 60,000 pounds from that! Pai: Aah!! Pg 189: Yakumo: ! Pai: Yakumo!! Yakumo: What are you doing? Gonzales: Master Connelly! We have secured the Miss's safety. Yakumo: !? Gonzales: The kid looks to be ready for the match! Gonzales: Yeah! I'll send him over immediately. Yakumo: Hey! Wait a minute!! What's going on around here!? Maria: It's no use! Fujii, you should do what they say! Pg 190: Voice: Oh!! Long time, no see! Voice: What have you been up to these days, Bakinpa? Bakinpa: Eh... no... Bartender: You don't look too bright! Is something the matter? Bakinpa: Nothing... haha... Man: Bakinpa!! Bakinpa: How's it been? Old brother!! Man: I heard you came back to teach Connelly a lesson. Is that true? Man: Just say it, and I can prepare you some guns and fireworks. Man: It's only 2000 pounds, what do you say? Bakinpa: Don't joke around, brother!! Bakinpa: That's... just a rumor! Bakinpa: ...just rumors... Bakinpa: Nothing to do with Connelly!! Pg 191: Yakumo: Really? Yakumo: Bakinpa took the 60,000 pounds and ran off? Maria: Yeah! He thought you were going to loose! Maria: Father has already told all of his guest that there was going to be a "Thai Boxing vs. Asian Mystery Style" match. Maria: When the face money that he'd gambled for was gone, so he became really angry! Maria: He even said to kill you all before anyone else could escape. Maria: But I managed to convince him to replace Pai-san for the missing money, so that's why you can still compete. Maria: You may have lost your two training days, but we should find something. Yakumo: I...... thank you. Yakumo: This is the problem now. Please, Ling-Ling-san, tell me! Pg 192: Ling-Ling: ........ Yakumo: Is there some way to dodge those quick kicks? Ling-Ling: If that's all you're worried about, then judging from your strength, you won't ever beat Thai Boxing! Ling-Ling: If all you're looking for is information regarding Madurai, why not just abandon the match and kidnap Connelly? Yakumo: I can't do that! I'm trying to get him to tell me how to defeat Benares! Ling-Ling: ........ Ling-Ling: So then, you're going to fight the match under any circumstances? Ling-Ling: Do you know what those boxing gloves are for? Yakumo: Ehh? Yakumo: I guess it's to protect the fists from harm during the fight! Ling-Ling: But if this fight prohibits the use of gloves, then your opponent's fists can be damaged! Ling-Ling: And as long as we have enough time, then your wounds will heal...... Yakumo: Ah! Pg 193: Gonzales: Let's go, kid! Time's up!! Ling-Ling: Umm... Mister, I'd like to ask you about something. Ling-Ling: This... is for those last few days under your care. Gonzales: ........ Yakumo: ........ Gonzales: If you have something to say, go ahead! Ling-Ling: I really hope you can change the match to no using gloves, and that the winner won't be decided from KO or the lost of consciousness. Gonzales: Hmph! Other than the gloves, the other rules are no problem... Gonzales: But it really has been boring to not see fights without gloves, so I'll transfer the word to Master Connelly. Ling-Ling: thank you very much. Gonzales: Ha! You're an odd one. Pg 195: Referee: Coming up next is tonight's main event!! This was originally scheduled two days before today... Referee: However, the "Killer Game" event will be held today!! Referee:: Will both opponents please enter the ring!! Referee:: On the red side, the Thai Boxing Champion!! Referee:: Chachai Chanebonchai!! Pg 196: Referee:: On the blue side, the Japanese Martial Artist!! Referee:: SONY Bumada!! Yakumo: What kind of name is that!! Maria: It sounds Japanese!! Maria: Forget about it, just go! Yakumo: Thank you! Pai: Yakumo!! Yakumo: What are you doing dressed up like that! Are you alright! Pai: Yakumo looks strange, too...... Yakumo: Really? Don't I look really cool? Pai: Then don't I look more beautiful? Pg 197: Pai: Hiiii! Yakumo: What! I won't lose to you! Yakumo: Hm! Ling-Ling: We're gonna throw you both out into a dam!! Connelly: Exactly. Yakumo: No need to be that angry...... Pai: Yakumo!! Do your best!! Yakumo: Right! Don't worry, I'll win the match right away, then we can get you changed. Chachai: How much longer are you going to stall? Chachai: Are you really sure you wanna do this? Punk! Pg 198: Referee: And now it is time to declare the stripulations. Referee: Both men will not be wearing gloves, and it is no holds bar and anything goes. However, the use of weapons will be strictly prohibited!! Referee: The outcome of the match and gamble will not be decided on the winner, Referee: But the number of minutes it will take for the blue side's Japanese boy to die in the ring. Referee: One minute into the match, and the amount will be increased by each round. Referee: If the young man can survive and win, the prize will be 1000 pounds. Referee: Now, let's enjoy this spectular competition! Pg 199: Ling-Ling: Listen! Yakumo! Ling-Ling: You mustn't think of blocking your opponent's offense only. Ling-Ling: You can use your head, elbow, or knees to attack! Ling-Ling: You'll probably get hurt, but so will your opponent, Yakumo: I understand! I'll use my immortality to my advantage. Ling-Ling: It's the best option you have right now. Yakumo: Eh! Yakumo: What's wrong, Ling-Ling? Ling-Ling: Eh? No, nothing... Ling-Ling: That's Connelly, right! Yakumo: Yeah! Yakumo: What's up? Ling-Ling: Nothing, do your best! Pg 200: Yakumo: Right! Pg 201: **Book 13, Story 25 - Battle** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 202: Yakumo: ! Ling-Ling: Go! Yakumo!! Ling-Ling: Get close to him, use your body to fight! Yakumo: Waahh!! Ph 203: Ling-Ling: Eh! Yakumo: ! Yakumo: Waahh!! Yakumo: Urgghh!! Yakumo: Waahh!! Pg 204: Yakumo: Waaahhh!! Pai: Yakumo!! Ling-Ling: Yakumo!! Yakumo: Argh!! Chachai: ! Pg 205: Yakumo: Waahh!! Pai: Yakumo!! Chachai: Hmph! You certainly run fast!! Ling-Ling: Are you alright!? Yakumo!! Yakumo: Umm... Ling-Ling: You can't keep running!! Ling-Ling: Running will only allow your opponent to easily refine his strategy! Ling-Ling: You gotta get close to him, you've got to damage his fists! Yakumo: I know! But my body... Pg 206: Chachai: Staying out of the ring is fine, but don't delay everybody's time!! Ling-Ling: Wait!! What are you planning to do!? Yakumo: I'm going to take his attacks head on! Yakumo: It's useless to keep trying to find a way to fight. Ling-Ling: That sounds reasonable, but...... Yakumo[thinking]: There's no time limit, so I should be able to come up with something... Yakumo: ? Pg 207: Chachai: Hey! The bell just rang, so that means a minute has passed! Chachai: Now all the people that've taken bets on you are losing money! Chachai: You've angered a lot of people now! Chachai: The boss should be satisfied now! Chachai: It's time for me to get serious!! Yakumo: Urrghhh!! Pg 208: Yakumo: Waahh!! Yakumo: You bastard!! Yakumo: ! Pg 209: Yakumo: WAAHH!! Chachai: Hmph! That's the end of it! Pg 210: Connelly: He's dead from a crushed wind pipe... Connelly: Sigh! I didn't wanted to see it end like this. Connelly: Come on!! From now on, you belong to me! Pai: No!! Ling-Ling: Hey! Ling-Ling: Wait a minute, Connelly-san. Connelly: Eh? Who are... Ling-Ling: I'm a friend of that kid, and I'll offer to pay for the 60,000 pounds, but... Connelly: ? Ling-Ling: The fun has just begun! Ling-Ling: Take a look... Connelly: What are you talking about! That kid is dead... Pg 211: Yakumo: Haahh!! Chachai: !! Pai: Yakumo!! Chachai: Hahh!! Chachai[thinking]: This... this is... impossible...... Chachai[thinking]: I hit him right on the spot...... Chachai[thinking]: How is that possible!! Pg 213: Chachai: !! Connelly[thinking]: That's... that's impossible!! Connelly[thinking]: How is he still alive after taking a hit like that!? Connelly[thinking]: How... Connelly: What... what do you want... Ling-Ling: Be quiet! Pg 214: Ling-Ling: All you have to do is make a sound, and I'll kill you. Ling-Ling: You guards and everybody else are so into the match that... Ling-Ling: ...if I were to kill you now, no one would notice. Connelly: What... what do you want, really... Pg 215: Connelly: What exactly do you want? Connelly: Money? That kid's life? Connelly: !? Pg 216: **Book 13, Story 26 - Opportunity For Victory** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 217: Yakumo: Waah!! Yakumo[thinking]: I'm trying to see his punches and kicks clearly, but... Yakumo[thinking]: My body is starting to disobey...... Yakumo[thinking]: No matter what I do, I can't seem to see... Pg 218: Chachai: Why... why...... Chachai: Why won't he die...... Yakumo[thinking]: He's shaken! Yakumo[thinking]: Now is a good time!! Chachai: Ugh! Yakumo[thinking]: Damn it!! My attacks still aren't effective... Chachai: You bastard!! Pg 219: Yakumo: Waahhh!! Chachai: Ugg... Pai: Alright!! That connected! Chachai: Fuck! Yakumo: Ugh... Yakumo: It... connected......!?

Pai: Yakumo!! Maria: Looks like this match has been decided. Pai: Huh? Maria: Fujii seems to have discovered Chachai's movements. Pai: How can you tell? Maria: Right now, Fujii knows exactly how to defeat his opponent! Maria: He's seen Chachai's fierce punches and fast kicks! Maria: But if he can't match his opponent's measure of assaults, he won't win. Maria: Yet, just waiting to see his oppenent's attacks would be too late... Maria: Once he understood that, it scared him. Maria: So in order to advance in attacks... Pg 225: Maria: He has to be faster in absorbing his opponent's hits. Maria: Right before his opponent's punch can hit him, he needs to make a clear decision during that tiny amount of time. Maria: Be that as it may be... Maria: I don't think he knows that just yet. Maria: But... Yakumo: Ack!! Sidebar: Raising Dragon Punch!! Pg 226: Yakumo: I... I've won! Maria: It's too bad! Chachai couldn't come up with the right moves because he was too shaken. Pai: So then Yakumo will win? Maria: Of course, now it's just a matter of time. Pai: Alright! It's all thanks to Ling-Ling-san's help!! Pai: Hey! Ling-Ling-san!! Pg 227: Pai: !? Ling-Ling: Im... impossible!! Why can't I read your conscious memory? Ling-Ling: I won't be able to find out whether Madurai's descendant exists without it! Ling-Ling: Why!? Pg 228: Yakumo: Fuck! You still wanna fight... **END OF TRANSLATION 13 - 2/2** 3x3 Eyes story, art, and characters Copyright © 1987-2002 Yuzo Takada / Kodansha.
