Tenjō Tenge - The Past Chapter (天上天下 - The Past Chapter)

I see... you're that rumored Gaokishi-souke I've heard about?

I'm disappointed.

I had been anticipating someone more notable,

but if you're just the leader of these punks you must be pretty weak too.

There's no need for two of the "strongest" to exist in this city.

Fight me.

Takayanagi Mitsuomi.

You're weak.

You were saying something about the "strongest" earlier.

Sorry, but I don't fit that title.

I know someone stronger than myself.

W-What did you say?

I'm talking about your brother...

Natsume Maya.

You knew who I was?

Yo!

What's this Maya? You've lost magnificently again, haven't you?

Why... are you here?

Well, I got a call from Mitsuomi yesterday.

He said he might have to fight you, and asked what to do about it.

I said that I didn't care, just beat her up good.

Brother...

Team Katana.

Mitsuomi is the candidate for the next leader after me.

Remember that, you silly girl!

I fought her without holding back like you said, but...

I don't think I want to hit a girl like that anymore.

Oh, is that so? And you call yourself a martial artist!

You little kid!

I'll take you home.

You can't walk, can you?

I can...

I'll go home alone!

She was crying... her face was all crumpled up.

Maybe I should have gone a bit easier on her?

It's fine, you idiot! Leave her be.

Once she eats, she'll be fine.

Shin, that sibling love between you is really twisted.

Maya-chan probably cried because you showed up.

Huh? What do you mean?

If you don't get it, I suppose that's fine.

What's up with you? You're giving me the creeps!

But she was really cute.

Huh?

I feel like I might... really fall for her.

Tenjou Tenge

And then... Spring.

I pledge that all two hundred and eighty seven of us gathered here today,

Toudou Academy Entrance Ceremony

at Toudou Academy Entrance Ceremony in both suffering and happiness,

will strive to better ourselves in the fields of academics and martial arts.

Freshman class representative, Takayanagi Mitsuomi.

This school is a paradise.

I have no doubt that it will reward you with both thrilling and exciting days to come.

This is a nice place...

We don't even have cherry blossom trees this big at my place.

If I didn't have to do the opening address, I wouldn't have attended the entrance ceremony either.

Don't talk to me like we're friends.

You'll ruin the melancholic mood I'm in.

My brother says that during springtime you can hear these trees singing with joy.

All I can see is life being scattered away.

I'll say this now, I didn't lose to you then.

I could have continued fighting if my brother hadn't showed up.

Our fight's on hold.

Don't get beaten by anyone else.

Until then, I'll get a little stronger myself.

Lost him...

"Katana Hunting", was it? Don't fuck with me!

Yo! Everyone here?

Kii-bou got his ass beat yesterday.

Katana Hunting, eh?

That's the third this month.

I feel sorry for the guys we lost, but Shin was happy.

If we don't show the sharpness of Katana, the amateurs won't understand.

Natsume Maya-san, I presume?

Mind giving this to your brother for me?

And tell him this too...

This is ain't no paradise... it's hell!

Because I'm here now.

I'm not some kind of message board.

Don't throw a fit!

I heard about you in middle school.

You must have realized by now, everyone was only holding back...

because of your brother, right?

Do you have the courage to say that again?

What? Oh, oh! Are you mad now?

You're angry, aren't you?

If that's the case, then go run off to your brother right away.

"He made me cry! Get him for me!"

Brother-complex-

I don't discriminate between men and women, at least when I'm fighting.

Heaven's Flow Reformation Evil Mahjong Fist

Amano Ryuukai Mahjong Ken!

Heaven's Cannon

Ten-ho!

He's fast!

Green Intimidation Claws

Ryuu Iisou!

Nine-stranded Wave Cannon

Chuuren Poutou!

That...

Shin-san!

S-Strong!

If we go in and help her, her body will be uninjured but

a scar that will never heal will remain in her heart.

As a martial artist, that's a fate worse than death.

You understand, right?

B-But...

Bear it! If you really do love her.

I'm bearing it too.

Bastard...!

Hey, Maya! This is damned boring! Land at least one hit on him!

Don't bore us to death back here!

Sh-Shin-san!

Oh? My thanks. I'm glad you showed up so quickly.

Who are you? Name yourself!

Fine. You're nothing compared to me, the Red Mahjong Demon of the 5th school, Sanada Masahiro.

My business is with this guy right here.

I'll ask you one thing.

Are you behind the attacks on Katana members?

What if I am?

Come back in the next life.

Bastard...!

Which way are you looking, Red Mahjong Demon or whatever you're called.

Our fight isn't over yet! If you won't attack, then I will!

W-Wait!

Maybe I overdid it on the fanservice...

What's with those slutty moves?

Just looking makes me embarrassed!

Shut up! Why do you come to watch me every time I fight?

Leave me alone!

If you want me to leave you alone then beat the guy!

Let me go!

Listen...

This guy's going to die!

Someone call an ambulance! Hurry!

We may still be able to save him!

There's no need.

Skeletal Circulative Living Thought

Kuzunoha Acupuncture Kokkan Seisou.

After we bind up the wound to his stomach, there shouldn't be any problems.

If everyone panicked at something like this,

this school would be done for Mitsuomi-kun.

Th-Thanks... Kuzunoha Mana-san.

You're Shin-san's girlfriend, right?

You've gotten pretty strong, but your moves are tasteless.

You gotta remember that truth and untruth thing.

Just drop it, brother.

Hey, it's important stuff!

I'm telling you to drop it!

Stop treating me like a child all the time!

Why did you step in?

Brother, do you think I don't notice it?

I won't stand for it again.

Maya, to tell you the truth...

I don't want you to become strong.

Just stay by my side.

Stay with me, forever...

Did you say something, brother?

No! Nothing at all!

Kuzunoha-san! Where are you?

Kuzunoha-san?

K-Kuzunoha-san! Please don't scare me like that.

Kuzunoha-san?! What are you doing?

You understand, don't you?

How could a man like yourself be afraid of Shin-kun?

Earlier, you said that it was a technique meant to kill.

It's always been like that.

When it comes to Maya-chan, he loses control.

If I hadn't been by his side, who knows how many people he would've killed.

Such strange siblings those two...

They seem more like lovers rather than brother and sister.

Do you hate me?

No...

Hey, why don't we stop this right here?

How long you gonna follow me around Katana Hunter-san?

You know, I've pretty much found out the identity of the Katana Hunter.

It's a guess I've made after putting together the info from Ishimatsu and the rest.

I'm 80 to 90 percent sure I'm right.

You don't look that surprised. Even though the woman you love is the culprit.

Don't tell me...

No, I am.

But somehow, I knew it.

I see.

Also, I hear you've been meeting with Kuzunoha a lot lately.

Who told you that?

That woman is telling everyone.

Eh?

You should stop seeing her. It'll eventually reach Shin.

In any case, you should keep both the Katana Hunter and Kuzunoha a secret from Shin.

About the heat-resistant metal...

It's in Los Angeles in America...

Some guy named Ishida said he likes me.

This ramen kicks ass!

Shut the fuck up, you bastards!

I can hear your every word, dammit!

Geez... I'm gonna lose it.

3rd Treatment Room

Geez!

You guys all here?
