08x08 - Master of Kouan
Posted: 09/24/22 05:59
Ub: "The strongest man in the universe."
Ub: The people who call me that are but frogs in the well.
Ub: The universe is a big place.
Ub: A planet is no more than one of innumerable specks of sand within it,
Ub: and the world one can see in a lifetime is no more than a tiny part of the whole.
M: You mean to say there are many more stronger than you?
M: But you must've been the strongest man in the world my father saw.
M: Otherwise, he...
M: The captain of the Chidori Space Pirates wouldn't entrust his dear daughter to you,
M: Umibozu.
M: Or should I say, my father's old friend, Kanko?
M: You needn't say a thing.
M: I, Mutsu, shall withdraw our request myself.
M: You are far too great a man to be teaching someone like me.
M: But, whenever you feel like it,
M: would you come chat with this ignorant, sheltered bird in a cage?
M: And tell me about the innumerable specks of sand you have seen with your eyes?

Title: Master of Kouan
Warning,Sign: Watch the Battle on Rakuyo arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
U: I sensed from the start that things between you and me
U: would eventually come to this point.
U: And, having met you, I think I have found my answer...
U: As to why, despite building an advanced interstellar civilization,
U: we still don't stop fighting.
U: It has nothing to do with standpoints, views, or creeds.
U: It comes from our fundamental nature as creatures.
U: No matter how far we evolve,
U: our psyche may always force us to determine
U: which of us are predators, and which of us are prey.
U: And when it comes to two creatures at the top of the food chain...
Ub: The strongest man in the universe?
Ub: Are you one of those fools who keep talking about that crap, too?
Ub: Well, I'm sorry, but I have no interest in that title.
Ub: Begone!
Ub: I don't care what happens to the world.
Ub: Even if I am a frog,
Ub: I will protect the well I live in, even if it kills me.
Ub: I'm fine with being just a frog.
U: You are no frog in the well.
U: As someone who has seen the rise and fall of many a species, I guarantee it.
U: But that's exactly why I know that,
U: even if you are a once-in-a-millennium warrior,
U: you cannot escape the principles of life.
U: Indeed, you will inevitably fall someday.
U: Because I have escaped the principles of life,
U: and you ended up standing in my way.
Sak: Mutsu! Hurry!
UB: Someone stronger than me?
M: Yes.
M: If you say that even you can't be called the strongest,
M: have you met anyone worthy of the title?
UB: Hosen, whom I fought when I was younger, was pretty strong.
UB: But that's only if we're talking about creatures like us.
UB: The things I've fought in my life as a hunter
UB: were all beyond comparable concepts such as strength.
UB: Could you compare anyone's strength to that of a typhoon or tsunami?
M: There's no need to.
M: Nobody else could stop a natural disaster by themselves.
M: I've heard of it, you know.
M: How you earned the title of "strongest."
M: The reason Yato hail you as a hero.
M: About the battle in which Umibozu took back our home.
M: The Yato's home planet, Kouan,
M: suffered an all-out att*ck by the Allied Planets during the Great w*r
M: and was destroyed along with many Yato.
M: Altana began to gush out of the ground,
M: and the ruined planet became a nest for mutant creatures.
M: Among them was something that made people call Kouan the planet of death...
M: The planetary parasite Orochi, considered the Master of Kouan.
M: It fed on the Altana reserves, grew heads,
M: and eliminated anyone who dared approach its nest.
M: Everyone abandoned the place
M: and didn't approach it for centuries, but one man charged into its nest alone
M: and took back the Yato's home...
M: That was you, Umibozu, was it not?
UB: Took back our home?
UB: I just lost a bet with a friend.
UB: I said I'd go to our deserted home and hit on a woman if I lost a drinking battle.
UB: I'd never experienced anything like it before.
UB: The moment I saw them,
UB: it stood up.
M: Stood up?
M: What did?
UB: I guess it was too early for you, kid.
UB: Well, you could call it my instinct.
UB: The moment I laid eyes on them,
UB: my genes immediately came to a conclusion.
UB: "You're going to die."
UB: "Hurry up and make some babies," they said.
UB: I went after them again and again, but I just couldn't break through.
UB: It felt like I was fighting the earth I stood on.
UB: Like I was a mere insect going up against a planet.
M: Your genes admitted defeat before you did?
UB: Simply put, I felt fear for the first time in my life.
UB: But, as much as his genes may cry out in terror,
UB: a man cannot cry until his battle is over.
UB: So I told my right ball...
UB: Quit rattling.
UB: Lefty, you shut up and watch, too.
UB: I planted my seeds a long time ago.
UB: My best ones, in fact.
UB: So let me fight! Let me protect my family!
M: I don't believe it.
M: You suppressed your instincts by force?
UB: Thanks to that, my worldly desires d*ed down,
UB: and I could hit on the woman with a clear mind.
M: The woman?
M: Was the Orochi female?
UB: What are you talking about?
UB: Why would I crush one of my balls to fight a scrub like that?
UB: Is that arm regenerating?
UB: Like I said,
UB: I was on that planet to hit on a woman.
UB: I see.
UB: I knew it...
UB: You really are just like her. A being of Altana...
M: Who are you talking about?
U: Who are you talking about?
UB: I'm talking about the woman I risked my life to court.
UB: On the Yato's home planet, which had fallen to ruin a long time ago,
UB: on the planet of death...
UB: There stood a woman.
UB: And I, too, stood tall.
UB: I can't believe there really was someone here.
UB: Hey, wait!
Ko: This planet isn't dead or anything.
Ko: It may have become uninhabitable for people,
Ko: but these guys still live here, eating the rotten earth,
Ko: those guys still live here, drinking the rotten water,
Ko: and I still live here.
Ko: All that happened was that one species among many on this planet d*ed out.
Ko: You shouldn't judge an entire planet by your standards alone.
Ko: Leave.
Ko: I don't want to erase another life from this planet to save an intruder.
Ko: I must put them to sleep.
UB: That's when I learned
UB: that "Master of Kouan"
UB: referred to that woman.
UB: Hey, wai—
UB: I said wait!
UB: Out of my way!
UB: Listen to me!
UB: "That woman is dangerous."
UB: That's what my instincts told me.
UB: But, at the same time, they were also telling me this...
UB: H-Hey, lady.
UB: If you don't mind, why don't we forget about this Orochi
UB: and go take out the Orochi in my pants?
UB: "She is the one."
UB: For three days and three nights, she kept fighting to put the Orochi to sleep.
UB: And I kept trying to woo her in order to put the Orochi in my pants to sleep.
UB: Why don't we go get some coffee?
UB: But she paid no heed to me at all.
UB: Just as she took out the th head and the Orochi began to retreat,
UB: I suppressed my last Orochi, too.
UB: There was something I wanted to tell her not out of instinct, but with my own words.
UB: My name is Kanko.
UB: I'll ask your name next time I'm here or something.
UB: If the Master of Kouan will let me come here, that is.
Ko: Did you tag along all this while just to say that?
UB: When you visit someone else's home,
UB: it's common courtesy to first knock on their door and introduce yourself.
UB: Sorry for causing a fuss.
UB: Tell your family I apologize, Master.
Ko: This isn't someone else's home.
Ko: It's your homeland.
Ko: If you want to come back, feel free.
Ko: Though, as far as I know,
Ko: you're the only weirdo who's ever come back here, let alone knocked on the door.
Ko: The Orochi wasn't trying to get rid of you.
Ko: It just got excited and wanted to play.
Ko: We thought everyone had forgotten this planet,
Ko: but there was someone out there who remembered us.
Ko: Maybe that made it happy.
Ko: Also, I'm not the Master of Kouan.
Ko: I'm Kouka.
UB: After that, I began going home regularly.
UB: At some point, the Orochi stopped attacking me.
Ko: Maybe it accepted you as part of this planet,
Ko: or maybe it accepted you as its new master.
Ko: You might actually be suited to the role.
UB: There's nothing good to eat.
UB: All you can find here is rotten earth and water.
UB: I wouldn't even last ten days here.
UB: Kouka, why do you stay here?
Ko: I'm the same as you all.
Ko: You abandoned the planet because you couldn't live here anymore.
Ko: I can't live anywhere but here.
Ko: That's why I remain.
Ko: The few Yato who survived the Great w*r scattered to other planets.
Ko: But there were some who chose to die with their home.
Ko: Most of them d*ed sooner than they normally would have.
Ko: However, some among them could adapt to this harsh environment.
Ko: I am a descendant of that admirable clan,
Ko: its sole survivor.
Ko: If it came down to it, I could even eat your stinky boots to survive.
Ko: I'd rather die, though.
UB: If you don't have any family or friends here,
UB: you don't have a reason to live alone here, eating boots to survive.
Ko: But I don't have a reason to leave, either, do I?
UB: Any other place would be heaven compared to this.
UB: Besides,
UB: aren't you lonely?
Ko: Lonely?
Ko: The thought never crossed my mind.
Ko: Could something like that be a reason to leave?
Ko: Even if it could,
Ko: I forgot a long time ago when you're supposed to feel that emotion.
Ko: I was born and raised on this planet.
Ko: No baby hates the cradle it slept in, right?
Ko: I don't know how you see it,
Ko: but I quite enjoy this life, where I get to hog an entire planet and do as I please.
Ko: Also, it's not like I can't have fun here.
Ko: I can read all the books on the planet,
Ko: sing at the top of my lungs without worrying about anyone,
Ko: and toy with the occasional invader that shows up.
UB: I always told her stories about all the planets I'd visited.
UB: I thought she'd find them interesting because she'd never set foot off of Kouan.
UB: And she always listened to me with a bored look on her face.
UB: But then, one day...
Ko: Kanko.
Ko: Enough.
Ko: I've grown sick of listening.
Ko: I want to see another planet with my own eyes.
UB: B-But you...
Ko: I don't mind if it's from afar.
Ko: Would you take me?
UB: She gazed at it without saying a word,
UB: wearing the same bored expression as always.
UB: But she gazed at it intently, without budging an inch.
UB: Is it pretty?
UB: That's what most planets people live on look like.
UB: Have you heard of Earth?
Ko: Earth?
UB: Apparently, it's a remote planet that's still developing,
UB: but it's blessed with clear water and fertile land,
UB: and is said to be very beautiful.
UB: Would you like to go see Earth with me?
UB: No, not just Earth.
UB: If there's anywhere you want to go,
UB: the great Umibozu will bring you away from that rotten planet and take you.
UB: So, be my... m-my...
UB: Be my, uh, partner!
UB: Y-Yeah! My business partner!
UB: If we teamed up, we could be the strongest alien hunters ever!
UB: Don't you agree?
Ko: Partner, huh?
Ko: That doesn't sound bad.
Ko: If that were possible,
Ko: I bet it'd be really fun.
UB: That day...
UB: Even though she never used to see me off,
UB: she didn't take her eyes off my ship as it flew off.
UB: It didn't hit me until then.
UB: The reason she never used to see me off.
UB: The reason she saw me off that day.
UB: I spent twelve whole days looking everywhere,
UB: but I couldn't find her.
UB: That's when I saw the Orochi standing silently.
Ko: This is a problem.
Ko: When did you tame the Orochi to this extent?
Ko: I wasn't going to see you anymore.
Ko: Why'd you come here?
Ko: Didn't I tell you that I belong to the clan that would die with this planet?
Ko: I've lived all my life by myself.
Ko: I have to live by myself.
Ko: So why?
Ko: Why do you remind me of these feelings?
UB: I'm sorry, Kouka.
UB: But I'm the same as you.
UB: Even if I'm on a planet bustling with life,
UB: even if I have thousands of people around me,
UB: I still feel lonely without you by my side.
UB: I don't want to let you die alone.
UB: If you want to stay here, then so will I.
UB: If you want to go somewhere else,
UB: I'll go anywhere with you.
UB: So...
UB: Die with me, Kouka.
Ko: I'm betraying my clan.
Ko: I feel like the planet's asking me if I'm going to abandon it, too.
UB: Really?
UB: If you ask me,
UB: it looks like it's thanking you.
UB: Like it's saying, "thanks for everything."
M: I see.
M: Legend calls you a hero who took the Yato home from the monstrous "Master of Kouan,"
M: but you were actually a Casanova who wooed her and took her from the dying planet?
UB: Legend, my foot.
UB: The strongest creature the great Umibozu ever encountered
UB: can be found all over the universe...
UB: A wife.
UB: And I, just like every other pitiful man in the universe,
UB: ended up under my wife's thumb, basically.
M: That's hilarious.
M: The strongest man in the universe was the weakest in his household?
UB: Don't laugh.
UB: A household is a whole other universe.
M: But it's a fine legend.
M: Rather than stories about lonesome monsters dying all alone,
M: I prefer ordinary stories about finding companionship, parenthood, and a family.
UB: You can say that again.
UB: Building a legend of being the strongest means nothing.
UB: Building such ordinary happiness is far more valuable.
UB: I knew nothing back then.
UB: I can't live anywhere but this planet.
UB: Not even what her words truly meant.
UB: I'm neither a hero nor a father.
Kam: He's a m*rder*r.
Kam: That man k*lled our mother.

Ko: I wasn't going to see you anymore.
Ko: Why'd you come here?
Ko: Didn't I tell you that I belong to the clan that would die with this planet?
Ko: I've lived all my life by myself.
Ko: I have to live by myself.
Ko: So why?
Ko: Why do you remind me of these feelings?
UB: I'm sorry, Kouka.
UB: But I'm the same as you.
UB: Even if I'm on a planet bustling with life,
UB: even if I have thousands of people around me,
UB: I still feel lonely without you by my side.
UB: I don't want to let you die alone.
UB: If you want to stay here, then so will I.
UB: If you want to go somewhere else,
UB: I'll go anywhere with you.
UB: So...
UB: Die with me, Kouka.
Ko: I'm betraying my clan.
Ko: I feel like the planet's asking me if I'm going to abandon it, too.
UB: Really?
UB: If you ask me,
UB: it looks like it's thanking you.
UB: Like it's saying, "thanks for everything."
M: I see.
M: Legend calls you a hero who took the Yato home from the monstrous "Master of Kouan,"
M: but you were actually a Casanova who wooed her and took her from the dying planet?
UB: Legend, my foot.
UB: The strongest creature the great Umibozu ever encountered
UB: can be found all over the universe...
UB: A wife.
UB: And I, just like every other pitiful man in the universe,
UB: ended up under my wife's thumb, basically.
M: That's hilarious.
M: The strongest man in the universe was the weakest in his household?
UB: Don't laugh.
UB: A household is a whole other universe.
M: But it's a fine legend.
M: Rather than stories about lonesome monsters dying all alone,
M: I prefer ordinary stories about finding companionship, parenthood, and a family.
UB: You can say that again.
UB: Building a legend of being the strongest means nothing.
UB: Building such ordinary happiness is far more valuable.
UB: I knew nothing back then.
UB: I can't live anywhere but this planet.
UB: Not even what her words truly meant.
UB: I'm neither a hero nor a father.
Kam: He's a m*rder*r.
Kam: That man k*lled our mother.
