Juni Taisen: Zodiac War (十二大戦)

Isn't it nice to have people to watch your back?

It's the best, isn't it? Isn't it just the best?

Hey, it's okay. Don't worry.

All I'm taking is your life.

In exchange, I hope you'll be my friend, too.

I've wanted that so badly since the first moment I saw you...

It looks like the friend I sent after Rat has found something.

Well, let's get going.

Juni Taisen

Episode 7: In Like a Dragon, Out Like a Snake (Part 1)

Looks like the others haven't arrived yet.

Sounds great.

We can set up an ambush and take out anyone who lets their guard down.

Idiot. Keep your pants on.

Gotta wonder which idiot will end up dead first, big brother.

A trap?

Possibly.

I wonder who the others will be.

Well, Boar, Monkey, and Ox will probably be the usual crew.

Familiar faces... Boring.

Boring? Really?

You wouldn't last a second without me.

What? Sure I would.

Well, with our teamwork, there's no way we'll lose.

What?

Hey, hurry it up.

I'm trying!

Now, then...

That way!

Yeah.

Hey, you. Show us your face.

He doesn't have it.

Yeah...

Where the hell is it?

How am I supposed to know what the really valuable stuff is?

You weren't supposed to get caught, moron.

Shut up.

I still stole it, so what does it matter?

So, which is more valuable?

I have no idea how much this is worth.

Well, whatever.

We'll call it a draw this time.

I'll get you next time.

When did this become a competition, anyway?

Now! Now, now, now!

Now, now, now, now, now!

What? What's with you?

We of the Dragon choose the older brother.

His skill, Heaven's Holding, is worthy of House Tatsu.

Then we of the Snake choose the younger brother, with his Earth's Guidance.

Ladies and gentlemen...

These twins are hereby officially declared the next

Warriors of the Dragon and Snake.

For generations, the Warriors of the Dragon and Snake have always been a pair.

And you brothers

possess the greatest compatibility in the history of the Tatsumi.

In the next Juni Taisen,

as representatives of the Dragon and Snake, you must kill until only one remains.

This time around, bring glory to our Tsumita family!

Takeyasu, Nagayuki, we pray for your success.

Which means only one of us can survive in the end...

Sure wish they'd mentioned that.

The hell is that?

They're not amateurs...

Contraband, maybe?

Nothing good here.

Hey, we know you're in here! Show yourself!

Fool! What hole did you crawl out of?

Oops!

Okay with you if I light this up, then?

You'd better not. You'll burn yourself, too.

Come on, just let me have it.

It's just one little guy. No big loss to you.

Come on, okay?

You brat...

Quit bluffing!

Are you nuts or something?

I see... Die, then.

What?! Hey!

Stop firing! Find the breaker!

Came to bail you out.

What the hell? I could've handled it myself.

It's a big brother's job to play the hero for his little brother.

Talk big all you want. I know that's not why you're really here.

Well, I'll be happy for the help. Until the Juni Taisen, at least.

Though that all ends today, too.

Wait a minute.

We forgot in all the chaos, but didn't I win that last one?

Hey, big brother, that last time...

We're here.

On your guard.

I guess no one's here yet.

Hey.

What should we do? Kill him?

Wait.

He might be Taisen staff.

Yeah, right!

Are you taking part in the Juni Taisen?

Usagi: Warrior of the Rabbit, killing psychotically.

Elder Tatsumi Brother: Warrior of the Dragon, killing for money.

Younger Tatsumi Brother: Warrior of the Snake, killing for money.

You two seem close.
