Chapter Three - Kodoku no ou (The King of Loneliness)


Sumire's full translation is here.

Page 67. Rem explains everything to both the kids. How she and Conrad had opposed the experiments on Tessla, and been over-ruled. How she hid them from the other crew to protect them.


Page 69. Knives, crying, hugs Rem and says, "There's so much we have to do so it never happens again."


Page 72. Vash follows Knives through the ship. Knives is all shadowed and sinister....


Page 74. Everything goes on as before, with Rem teaching the kids, who seem happy. I love that chess scene with Knives all smug and Vash looking so humphy :-)


Page 75. Don't they look so incredibly sweet at the top there? But Knives wakes up and goes creeping off in the night.


Page 77. Knives sits tapping away at the main computer terminal, and chews his thumb until it bleeds.


Pages 80-1. And then we switch to Knives standing on the planet, arms outstretched as the ships crash all around him.


Page 82. Vash rages at Knives, knowing exactly what he's done, and Knives kicks him in the teeth.


Page 85. Back to the present, and Knives kneeling before a row of Plant bulbs, telling them he's sorry so many Plants died in the Fall.


Pages 90-1. Knives reaches out to one of the Plant Angels, and she breaks through the glass of the bulb and begins to merge with him. Damn, this is such a beautifully drawn spread, with Knives' outline and his wings, and his face down there at the bottom left.


Pages 92-3. Legato and Elendira watch in shock as Knives forms a giant Angel Arm that incorporates the other Plant, and a beam of light shoots straight up into the sky....


So Knives discovers how to use his power without risking more black hair - he simply borrows it from someone else. The planet's in trouble again....
