Hell's Paradise (地獄楽)

Thanks.

I've made up my mind.

He's all I need.

I don't need anything but him!

B-Brother!

...ing...

Break...ing...

I'm... breaking...

Hell's Paradise

Reality and Fantasy

...ing...

Break...ing...

Ninpo: Pyro Bridge!

Ninpo: Ascetic Blaze!

What is this?

Gabimaru!

Brother!

Huh?

What is this place?

What's this vortex? It's too dark to see.

Where's that ninja?

So he's inside the vortex.

I thought we were fighting.

I don't get it.

Looking at this vortex makes me inexplicably angry.

It's an eyesore.

You're an eyesore!

You're in the damn way!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

I don't know what you are, but I'll kill you!

He's practically cinders.

Why isn't he using that tao stuff?

Gabimaru can't use tao.

Forgot how.

Enemy's tao big.

Gabimaru can't win.

At this rate, I can't win.

But if I use Ascetic Blaze again...

Even if I die, another villager will replace me.

I should remove as many obstacles as possible.

Killing this guy now is more important than my life.

He's actually going to die.

What's he thinking?

Receiving a pardon should be his goal, but there's no point if he dies.

The same is true for his opponent.

They've both lost sight of themselves.

No... Brother, why are you doing this?

For what purpose?

Could it be?

I bet you let your brother do all the real fighting.

I can tell by looking at your pretty face.

Is it for me?

That can't be true, Brother.

After all, I... I'm just...

Brother!

Kill! Kill!

You're in the way!

Everyone besides us is an enemy!

Us...

I...

Who am I?

Brother.

Brother...

Brother, I'm sorry.

I thought we were fighting together,

but you've always been fighting by yourself because I'm weak.

You ended up like this because you can't count on me.

Wake up, Brother.

I'm only a part of you,

but you're my everything.

A chance.

I'll burn them both to death!

Gabimaru! No!

Miss, watch out!

No more tao! He'll die!

Ninpo...

What is this?

Did that girl do this?

Brother!

Wait for me, Toma.

Wait for me.

Miss! I don't know what you're doing, but stop!

Miss!

What in the world is going on?

Is this that tao stuff, too?

What?!

Sh-She grew! In more ways than one!

What the hell is this?

Damn, she's friggin' cute!

Oh, shut up.

We'll know once I dissect her.

You're a real idiot.

Honestly.

This place is full of mysteries.

Someone explain this shit to me.

Looking at this with fresh eyes,

something's definitely not right.

I've never heard these sounds before.

Something's out there.

There's no telling what we might encounter.

If this island's mystique is all a sham,

then who the hell made this, and how?

Let's go.

An experimental site for life.

An artificial island.

I would be lying if I said I have no idea

what the sense of wrongness hanging over this island is.

But...

The humans trying to kill the Tensen

will undoubtedly change the island.

Will I still be myself by then?

Oh?

Sagi, Shion-san.

Fuchi-dono.

And...

Gabimaru! Your wounds...

Huh? And Tom... what?

Where are the others? Ten-kun and Sen-chan?

And what are those clothes you're wearing?

Um...

What's going on?

Mei, did you use your powers?

Whoa, it spoke! What is that creature?

I must thank you.

I never thought I'd see her again while I lived.

Did you come from down in the valley?

It must've been teeming with Soshin.

You mean those monsters? We killed 'em all.

Is that a doshi? You defeated it?

Well, yes. Two others as well.

How can you speak when you're just a head?

In one thousand years,

I've never met anyone like these people.

They've killed Soshin and doshi.

They even kill gods.

They may bring more than just change to the island.

The heart is cute.

The brain is aggravating but cool.

But nothing beats the liver.

I hated the idea at first...

I thought it was odd at first...

but after listening...

but after listening to you, I get it.

Sagi, would you like to observe the dissection as well?

No, it's been odd the whole time.

It's just so cute.

Let's hurry up and eat these dumplings.

I see.

Only eight expeditioners survived. That's less than half.

Lady with the great ass, you're alive!

Yeah. Awesome, right?

We should get away from the castle as soon as possible, but...

Gabimaru's in no condition to walk, and...

neither is... Mei-san.

Anyway, I can't believe how many died in just three days.

I know it was the shogun's will, but it's horrifying.

Don't be so sentimental.

We've been killing each other since the start.

Were you the only ones who thought we could all make it back alive as friends?

That was absolutely my intention.

Is he your friend, too?

He's what you'd call a snake in the grass.

We let him live, but he hasn't said a word,

and he's just holding us back.

If it's too hard for you guys, want me to kill him for you?

Don't.

Huh?

We don't know what he's dealing with.

Most importantly, I won't watch anyone else die.

Not unless they're trying to kill us.

Oh, yeah? Looks like there's more to you than just your massive tits.

Sorry to interrupt,

but should we be ignoring Gabimaru?

He's practically on the brink of death.

Oh, right. We need to get him treated soon.

He's so badly injured, he lost consciousness.

Nah, that's not because of his injuries.

I hit him because he wouldn't stop fighting.
