My Name is Zushio Volume 2 Chapter 13 - Page 131 - Kid: WAAAAAAAAAHHN! Don't gooo, big brother!! Brother: Well, I got the announcement that "all men from ages 15-20 must join the army", so... I have to go be a soldier... Don't worry, I'll be back!! Kid: Dad said the same thing 6 months ago, and where is HE now?! You have to beat me up before you can be a soldier!! (pow!) Brother: Um, listen... Kid: CAN YOU DEFLECT MY MIGHTY BLOW OF BROTHERLY LOVE?! CAN YOU???! Brother: Where did you hear THAT one?! -00013- -Zushio Hits the Jackpot- - Page 132 - Zushio: Now now, foolish serfs... Let's not have any fights between brot-BRG?! Kid: HUH...?! -000013- -Zushio Hits the Jackpot- - Page 133 - [The forehead is one of the most vital spots in the human body!] Arrow: Vital spot Kid: OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY! Zushio: Tell my friends... That Zushio was Zushio until the bitter end... blah. Zushio's Head: (fshhhh) Kid: (so short!) THAT WAS JUST A STRAY PUNCH! DON'T DIE!! Brother: ...it's true, his pulse is gone! Kid: WHOA, WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS GUY?! Ruriie: Oh, THERE you are, Zushio! - Page 134 - Ruriie: We thought you went into the city on your own! [Metropolis - VARTALIPTRA] Kid: I killed him... I've killed a man at this young age! Ruriie: Huh?! Lying around dead AGAIN, Zushio?! Kid: I'm sorry! He was just trying to stop us from fighting...!! Ruriie: C'mon, quit scaring people, you little turd! (STOMP!) Zushio: (fwip...) No fights between brothers, eh?! - Page 135 - Anju: A draft, then... Ruriie: Are they going to start ANOTHER war?! Zushio: I will not allow this! Ruriie: Zushio! Zushio: I, Prince "Perfect" Zushio, will go see this lord face-to-face in his residence!! Brothers: Prince Zushio...? You mean the last living descendant of the old royal dynasty?!! Zushio: Are you amazed? Kid: IT'S YOUR FAULT OUR DAD IS DEAD! [Vital Spot] Ruriie: Princess Anju! Use your Evil Eye to see the best possible plan for the future!! - Page 136 - Bakuto: WELCOME, PRINCE ZUSHIO!! [Lord Bakuto] Bakuto: I can't believe the missing prince would come and surrender himself to me...! Zushio + Fuurai: Just two Zushio: Call off the draft. That's all I came to say! - Page 137 - Zushio: My sister told me to come talk to you. So I'm not here to fight. Bakuto: As I have heard you are on the verge of collapse! Retainers: (a fool) Let's ask where Princess Anju is! (a fool!) Bakuto: Prince without a country. Do you know what your position is now? Zushio: Uhhh, do YOU know what my position is now?! Lately every single shot has been hitting me in the forehead! Every single one! Fuurai: Are you really trying to converse with him? - Page 138 - Bakuto: ...the worse you are off, the more fun this could be for me. Pipe: (POOF!) Retainers: (...not that again!) [Two animals who do not appear in this chapter] Poyo's Writing: A B C D A Silver's Sign: E Bakuto: Okay, I've forced those annoying guys out for now! (flop!) Zushio: Why? Bakuto: I'm interested in you now. I may let you go, depending on circumstances! ...as long as WE PLAY A GAME! I simply LOOOOVE gambling. I've gotten most of the things in my life through gambling! - Page 139 - Bakuto: ...normal gambling just doesn't get me ON, you know? Zushio: ...yeah! Fuurai: (on?) Bakuto: If you beat me in a game, I'll grant your desire!! Zushio: However, I'm not too familiar with your gambling games. Let's play a board game! Fuurai: ...kid. Bakuto: Ahh, where you roll the dice and move that number of spaces forward! Zushio: And then wherever you land, you MUST do what that square says! Bakuto: I see... (scribble scribble) LIKE THIS, YOU MEAN?! Paper: (Top line) If you land here (middle) Bakuto | Zushio (Bottom) Cancel the draft | Say where Princess Anju is [Write equally significant things for both left and right.] Zushio: Okay, so let's both make up 10 sets of squares, and write in both sides! Bakuto: Hey, chamberlain!! - Page 140 - [Chamberlain] Chamberlain: I understand. I will take the responsibility to carry out the actions written in the game. Bakuto: Remember, you HAVE to do what it says on the space!! Zushio: Of course!! (scribble scribble) Bakuto: {Hmph... he takes this quite simply. A board game is nothing but child's play... Let's see, what is he writing in his spaces down there?} (EEEEK!) Zushio: (scribble) Papers: (Bakuto is on the top left side and Zushio on the top right side of ALL the spaces. Everywhere you can fit their names, remember that Bakuto is on the left, Zushio on the right. This saves me the trouble of writing it out every time.) DIE DIE DIE (Note: the word "DIE" extends across the entire paper, i.e. it is not written twice, for each name.) - Page 141 - Bakuto: HAVE YOU GONE INSANE?! Zushio: But you're "ON", right? Isn't this what that "ON" you mention means? Or would you prefer to play it safe? Bakuto: Uh... DAMN... HE'S FORMIDABLE!! Zushio: You're ON, right? Bakuto: Yes... I'm ON! - Page 142 - Bakuto: I've placed our squares alternately along the board. 20 spaces to the goal! NOW, LET US BEGIN!! Board: (The center says "GOAL" The arrow at the beginning says "Start" You can see Zushio's three "DIE" spots, make sure to get those.) Bakuto: Okay, I'll go first! Chamberlain: Wait, Lord Bakuto! Do you really want to throw that die? Are you sure you want to start this game?!! I have taken a look at the conditions you created. And if you should land on them... - Page 143 - Chamberlain: Right to control your armies, rule over 2 cities and 31 villages, the right to your citadel and wealth... Any one of those would be fatal to you, Lord!! Bakuto: If Zushio lands in those same spaces, his arms and legs get cut off. Space: Zushio Limbs cut off Bakuto: WOULDN'T YOU CALL THAT FATAL? I risk my way of life, Zushio risks his life itself! That's fine with me! Zushio: YOU'RE ON, DUDE! Fuurai: ...fool of a lord. He'll be thrashed by a stray prince! Zushio: Hey, Bakuto! - Page 144 - Zushio: I LIKE YOU TOO. LET'S BE FRIENDS. Zushio's Leg: Leg Bakuto: ...Mad lost prince who enters enemy territory in order to play a board game, you have... MY GREATEST, INFINITE RESPECT!! - Page 145 - Bakuto: 6! Space: DIE Bakuto: {The blood is rushing to my head... My sight is growing cloudy...!!} Fuurai: That's one of Zushio's spots!! Pawn: Bakuto Spaces: (remember, Bakuto on the left and Zushio on the right in the place for their names) for Bakuto: Change name to "Piyo Piyo" forever for Zushio: Change name to "Sube Sube" forever (Note: make sure to block out part of Zushio's like the pawn is doing. So more like "Change name to "Sube --- for ---") - Page 146 - Messenger: HARK, PEOPLE OF THE LAND!! LORD BAKUTO'S NAME IS HENCEFORTH CHANGED TO PIYO PIYO!! Banner: Piyo Piyo People: WHAAAT?! Zushio: What's wrong, Piyo Piyo? Bakuto: ...how long did it take you to come up with that name? Zushio: ...about 2 seconds... Fuurai: (what a cruel fate) Bakuto: Okay... Fuurai: Zushio's turn! Chamberlain: Please... Let the spot Prince Zushio lands on be "Die"!! Zushio: 1! Pawn: Zushio Space: Zushio Tell where Princess Anju is - Page 147 - Chamberlain: SEND SOLDIERS TO THE BROTHERS' HOUSE OUTSIDE OF TOWN!! Elephant: (Paoooo) Ruriie: Anju used her foresight to predict that Zushio will rat us out to the lord!! Let's kill him when he comes back!! Kid: (what are those things under the tree?!) Brother: (Monsters!) [Currently on the Move] Guard: The brothers say that Princess Anju has run off! Zushio: (HA HA HA HA!) You guys could never catch my pals! Fuurai: Your pals are going to kill you after this. Bakuto: (palm) Let's go! 5!! Chamberlain: That's the way, Lord Piyo Piyo!! Fuurai: Stop using that silly name! Zushio: ...that square is one you made, Piyo Piyo! - Page 148 - Pawn: Bakuto Space: Bakuto | Zushio Give Prince Zushio the citadel and all my riches Chamberlain: Lord Piyo Piyo. We will follow your orders, my liege... even if it means we lose our place to sleep! Bakuto: MEN... - Page 149 - Bakuto: I can't pay your salary anymore! (Waah!) Chamberlain: THIS IS WHY I WAS AGAINST THAT STUPID GAME!! (WAAH!) Guards: (Waah!)(Waah!) Men: I picked the wrong lord to serve! (Moron!) (Lord Moron!!) Fuurai: (mercenary servants, hmm) Zushio: My turn, right? 2! This one! Pawn: Zushio Space: Bakuto | Zushio Lucky Space, nothing happens! (the space ahead says "DIE") Chamberlain: WHAT'S THAT?! Bakuto: ...I made that one. (whew...) I just couldn't go without creating one like that... Chamberlain: GUTLESS COWARD! (Another chance to kill the prince, gone...!) (Lord Moron!!) (Hey everybody, come here!) (Come look at the moron!!) Bakuto: My turn. Aha, a 3! Fuurai: {...he reminds me of Zushio...} Space: Bakuto Call off the draft. Proceed to "Goal". (Zushio's space right next to that is hard to read, but it should say "Give Fuurai to Bakuto") Bakuto: HUH?! GOAL?! - Page 150 - Bakuto: There are 6 of the same square!! Center: GOAL Space before Goal: Bakuto | Zushio Call off the draft. Proceed to "Goal". Fuurai donates all of his blood to charity. Space closest to viewer at the bottom: DIE Zushio: Well, I guess that's the objective! (...crap, three "die"s and not one got landed on) Bakuto: ...but that was a life-risking game!! Are you sure that's ALL the collateral you want? Give in to your greed! Zushio: ...BUT I'M ON, AREN'T I? - Page 151 - Bakuto: ...YOU'RE TOTALLY ON! Chamberlain: Wahoo! Lord Piyo Piyo won!! Huh?! Wait, what's the reward for reaching the goal...?! Bakuto: THE END RESULT MEANS NOTHING! (HA HA HA!) THE JOURNEY IS EVERYTHING! THAT IS WHAT "LIFE" IS ALL ABOUT!! - Page 152 - Bakuto: Live here, Zushio! Life with you will be more fun than poker, even!! (besides, it's your castle!) Zushio: What a predicament, Fuurai! [Vital Spot] Fuurai: SILENCE, YOU ABNORMAL FREAK!! Kid: Y... you stopped the draft...?! Zushio: Am I awesome or what? Kid: LIAR!! (Bakowww!) Zushio's Head: [Once again] Ruriie: (kick!) Zushio: (Ah!) Where did you guys go?! (tadah!) - Page 153 - Ruriie: SHUT UP, TRAITOR! Zushio: (Fuurai! Back me up here!!) Ruriie: (Go die!) Bakuro: Zushio... The game isn't over yet. I'll make you king! We'll live the highest life together!! Chamberlain: Lord Piyo Piyo... Bakuto: ...don't say my name. Ruriie: Well, all's well that end's well. Zushio: (Silver!) Silver: (poot) Anju: YEP!
