Shulato #33
translation by Arcadia

[OP]

{Narrator} "The Destruction Goddess Shiva and  the Asura gods threaten to 
destroy Tenkuukai. They need the awesome power of the Brahma shakti to 
defeat the Asura gods, so Shulato, as Brahma's successor, travels to 
Shumisen to find it. However, Gai finds the Shakti first. Akaranarta 
invaded Tenkuuden with the intention of destroying it. Meanwhile, Gai 
used the power of the Brahma Shakti to destroy Shumisen."

{Title} "Good or Evil!? The Creation God Brahma's Choice"

{Gai} "You pathetic little fools. I have more power than you ever 
dreamed!"

{Gai} "How do you like it? See how powerful I've become!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato and Gai are both Brahma's successors. Why should they 
have to fight?"

{Ryouma} "I can't move!"

{Reiga} "He's holding us here!"

{Shulato} "If we could use our Shaktis-"

{Ryouma} "It's no use. The Sohma hasn't regenerated."

{Lakshu} "Please! Stop fighting! Why do you have to fight? Why?"

{Lakshu} "Why should friends have to fight? It's awful! I don't want the 
people I love to fight any more! Who caused all this? Who? Who wanted 
this to happen? Stop it! Stop it!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu?"

{Gai} "Girl..."

{Reiga} "My veda!"

{Ryouma} "Mine, too!"

{Hyuga} "Look at Shulato's!"

{Hyuga} "The power of our vedas is going into Shulato's. With the four of 
us together, Shulato should be able to use his Shakti."

{Gai} "What?"

{Shulato} "ShuraOh Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "ShuraOh Shulato, YashaOh Gai, you two are Brahma's successor, 
destined to save Tenkuukai. You must stop fighting and work together to 
bring peace to this world."

{Gai} "Girl, your only mission here was to to awaken the Shakti. You're 
no longer needed."

{Gai} "Impossible!"

{Shulato} "Gai! Wait!"

{Shulato} "Come on! Wait!"

{Gai} "Are you okay, Shulato?"

{Gai} "Did you think showing me that would change my mind? The person I 
was is no more. This memory means nothing."

{Lakshu} "Gai, didn't you hate conflict? Didn't you always try to find a 
way to win without fighting?"

{Gai} "A way to win without fighting..."

{Gai} "I don't care! Not when I have found the ultimate power!"

{Lakshu} "No, you still don't know what true power is. Truth and power 
dwell in the heart. Strength in battle has limits, but true strength is 
infinite."

{Gai} "Be quiet! Be quiet, girl! That changes nothing!"

{Lakshu} "Gai..."

{Gai} "You won't change my mind. This Brahma Shakti holds perfect power. 
Before it, nothing else matters. Look!"

{Gai} "See for yourself, girl!"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Gai} "What?"

{Gai} "The Shakti..."

{Shulato} "The Shakti came to me?"

{Gai} "But why..."

{Lakshu} "Isn't it obvious? There was a final test. One without inner 
strength cannot wear that Shakti.Brahma has chosen Shulato as the true 
successor."

{Gai} "Damn you... Damn you, Brahma!"

{Hyuga} "Shumisen is disappearing!"

{Ryouma} "We have to get out of here!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato! Help!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Gai} "Damn you, Shulato."

[eyecatch]

{Shiva} "Brahma's Shakti chose ShuraOh?"

{Bikara} "What should we do about Gai?"

{Shiva} "We still have use for him."

{Kuuya} "Now!"

"Hachibushu Sanrenkou!"

{Renge} "We did it!"

{Akaranarta} "Fools! I won't fall for the same trick twice!"

{Akaranarta} "Take that!"

{Akaranarta} "It's crumbling!"

{Shulato} "Akaranarta! I didn't think I'd see you again."

{Akaranarta} "Shulato! The Shakti... It can't be..."

{Shulato} "That's right! It's Brahma's Shakti!"

{Shulato} "You were Brahma's successor? No! I don't believe it!"

{Akaranarta} "Juuga Rekkoudan!"

{Shulato} "See the power of the Brahma Shakti!"

{Akaranarta} "You little brat! Die!"

{Akaranarta} "Impossible! I'm the invincible Akaranarta!"

{Ryouma} "The Brahma Shakti is really something."

{Shiva} "Shulato will soon come here. I want you to stop them, Bikara."

{Shulato} "We have to defeat Shiva and rid Tenkuukai of the Asura gods. 
Let's go to the Idoukyuu!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato..."

{Shulato} "Don't worry, okay?"

{Shulato} "Let's go!"

{Vishnu} "Hachibushu, be careful. The black Sohma is a powerful enemy. 
Shiva is the living incarnation of black Sohma. Beware of her. You must 
deeat Shiva for the sake of this entire world! The Brahma Shakti will 
give you the power to do it."

{Lakshu} "Lady Vishnu..."

{Vishnu} "Lakshu, I want you to help me raise Sohma."

{Lakshu} "Me? But..."

{Vishnu} "You're the only one who can."

{Vishnu} "It is your destiny."

{Lakshu} "What? Lady Vishnu, you don't mean... I'm... I'm..."

{Shulato} "Shiva! Shiva, where are you? Show yourself!"

{Bikara} "ShuraOh Shulato."

{Shulato} "Who are you?"

{Bikara} "I am the leader of the Juuniratei, Meitei Bikara. I will not 
allow you rabble to near Shiva. I will destroy you first."

{Shulato} "What is this? It's like a beating heart."

{Ryouma} "It's terrible!"

{Hyuga} "It's like Bikara merged with the Idoukyuu."

{Reiga} "What good is that supposed to do?"

{Renge} "Only the Asura would do something like this."

{Ryouma} "Everyone be careful! We don't know where he'll attack from."

{Bikara} "The Idoukyuu has become a part of me. You are nothing but 
vermin. You will not get out alive."

{Hyuga} "Renge!"

{Shulato} "Hey!"

{Reiga} "Karula Hanefubuki!"

{Shulato} "Nice work, Reiga!"

{Reiga} "Don't thank me yet. Look!"

{Shulato} "No way!"

{Kuuya} "There must be a way to attack the real Bikara. Let's find him 
and crush him!"

{Ryouma} "Right! Hyuga, leave this to us. You and Renge go on ahead with 
Shulato."

{Ryouma} "Kuuya, Dan, Reiga! Let's do it!"

{Reiga} "Got it."

{Hyuga} "Now! Let's go, Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Alright!"

{Lakshu} "Lady Vishnu, Shulato's alright, isn't he? HeE can use the 
Brahma Shakti, so he'll be alright, right?"

{Vishnu} "Shulato won't be able to fully use the Brahma Shakti yet."

{Lakshu} "Oh no!"

{Vishnu} "Shulato still has to prove himself."

{Lakshu} "Prove himself? Shulato..."

{Renge} "Nahra Musouka!"

{Renge} "No!"

{Shulato} "What?"

{Hyuga} "Sohma won't work!"

{Renge} "Now what?"

{Shulato} "But we have to get through!"

{Hyuga} "TenOh Goumakou!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato, leave this to me and keep going!"

{Shulato} "Hyuga!"

{Hyuga} "Go! You have to defeat Shiva!"

{Shulato} "But-"

{Hyuga} "This is no time for indecision."

{Renge} "Shulato!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato, if you don't defeat Shiva, both Tenkuukai and Earth 
will be engulfed in darkness forever! If I can't help you do that, my 
life means nothing!"

{Shulato} "Hyuga... Okay. Let's go, Renge!"

{Hyuga} "Good luck, Shulato."

{Ryouma} "Reiga!"

{Hyuga} "Dammit..."

{Hyuga} "Shulato! I know you can win!"

{Shulato} "Hyuga!"

{Renge} "Shulato!"

{Renge} "Are you going to let not only Hyuga's efforts, but Ryouma's, 
Dan's, Reiga's and Kuuya's , too, go to waste?"

{Shulato} "Everyone's..."

{Shulato} "Okay, let's go!"

{Narrator} "At last that Hachibushu have invaded the Idoukyuu. But giant 
traps inside the Idoukyuu block their way. Can Shulato reach Shiva in 
time? The final battle has begun!"

[ED]

{Shulato} "We've finally made it to the Idoukyuu. Just you wait, Shiva! 
The war that began 10,000 years ago will end today! But before I can get 
to Shiva, I have to get through Gai. Gai, don't try to stop me! I'll kill 
you, too, if I have to! Next on Shulato: 'The Last Battle! The Fist of 
Hatred'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
