“Kaos”...of that famous “Radio K.A.O.S.!?
Is he in the Scrapyard...?
[fx] woof!
[K] This way!!

Page 06

[T] Vector Company Building
[T] After avoiding collapsing due to its solid built, its premises were open and became a refugee camp for the victims.

[x] D-doc!?
[x] Aren't you Doctor Ido!?
[x] You're alive!!

[W] It's me, Walsh! Back then...I was running the Bar Kansas!
[K] Old man...you're indecent, don't come out!!

[F] Ya shouldn't treat yer father like that!
[K] humph!

[Ka] Nice to meet you.
[Ka] I'm Kaos.

Page 08

[Ka] Uhhhm...

[Ka] It seems that we're all related to Alita by a bizarre connection.
[F] Do you know Alita too?

[Ka] Coming right to the point...Alita is not in the Scrapyard.
[Ka] She's in space!!

W-what!?
[F] Space!?

[F] M-my God...
[F] How can we go to something like space...

[Ka] Well, I'd like you to listen to the entire story.

Page 09

[Ka] As you can see, at present, this city is in a catastrophic state.
[Ka] With the fall of Tiphares, large parts of buildings collapsed due to the downburst*...

[Ka] In all the land riots outbroke due to the factories destruction...

[Ka] Tiphares shaking is giving unrest to lots of the citizens.
[flag] Great God

[T] *Downburst: an extremely strong local downward air current following the happening of a great calamity.

Page 10

[Ka] Before long, I'm going to Tiphares to settle their problems.
[Ka] And then...to the space city above it, Ketheres!!

To Tiphares!?
However, how will ya...

[Ka] We'll use a temporarily cable car on the slope of waste material.
[Ka] The construction works have already begun.

[K] Amazing!! Going to Tiphares!?
[fx] woof!
[K] I'll come too!!

[F] Naturally, we'll come too!!
[F] Got it!?

Page 11

[x] It's falling!!

[x] Take shelter!!

[x] Iiih!
[F] Shit! And I thought it was gonna be an easy construction work...!

[F] To think that landfalls were so easy to happen...
[F] Is it even possible to have a cable car running in such a place...!?

Page 12

What a rough treatment...

[W] Those were funny times!
[W] There were you, and Alita...Gon and the hunters bunch...

The junction system is causing necrosis...
as things are, your sacral nerves are oppressed and even disfunctional disorders for your intestine will arise.

It'll hurt a little, but hang in there.
[W] Ouch...ouchouchouch!!
[W] It hurts goddammit!!!

Page 13

[W] Pant, pant...don't bother with me.
[W] More importantly, Doctor ido...when you meet Alita, will you tell her something in my place?

[W] When we parted ways, I said to her a cruel thing...
[W] You're a plague, Alita!!

[W] It's the only regret...I've got in my life...

Please, apologize to her with your own mouth.

[W] That's impossible...

[I] Let me tell you something.

Page 14

[V] About the riots at Oilless city, order to the Chainsaws* corps to suppress it!
[V] Yes, I don't care.
[V] I'll talk personally to the Aosabi*.
[V] About the fire fighting at Rotten Pit, use the Colossus* squad!
[V] As for the transport of the relief supplies, mobilize the Motorballers!

[V] By the way, Kaos.
[V] Are you going to bring along those two with you to Tiphares?
[Ka] Yes, I am.

[Ka] Those two will be useful to persuade Alita.
[Ka] Because I can't absolutely fail to secure Alita for negotiating with the major powers of the space.

[V] It seems that even “up there” they're having some troubles...I expect a fine “present” from you!

[T] Chainsaws corps: a vigilante corps organized by Armblessed, the Motorball Second League former champion.
[T] Aosabi: the Aosabi Clan, a Scrapyard gang.
[T] Colossus: the nomenclature of players of the underground arena that Vector finances. Since they're cyborgs height 4-20m, they're called “Colossus”.

Page 15

[K] Haah...

[K] What should I do...Chavez?
[C] uuuh

[W] You're up so early, Koyomi.

Page 16

[K] What's with those legs, old man!?
[W] Eh he...I've got to thank Doctor Ido...

[W] Cool, ain't 'em!? A caterpillar is every men's dream!!

[K] Uhm...he doesn't reek of alcohol...
[K] That's rare...

[W] Are you feeling down?
[K] Yes...The truth is...

[x] Well done, Koyomi!! As a correspondent of the Screw Head Times*,
[x] go and take a ton of photos of the unknown Tiphares!!

[T] Nejiyama Taimuzu (Screw Head Times): a Scrapyard newspaper, SHT for short. After the “New Barjack Incident”, Koyomi was used as an exclusive cameraman and works for them. (refer to Gunnm: Another Stories, “Barjack Rhapsody”)

Page 17

[W] What, isn't that a big chance to gain fame?
[K] However...

[Ka] I approve that you come to collect data...but!
[Ka] You mustn't take the dog with you!!
[Ka] I hate dogs.

[K] What can I do? I can't leave Chavez alone...
[W] Indeed...

[W] Alright.

[W] Your father will take care of him for you!
[K] Eh...

Page 18

[K] B-but...
[W] You can go to see the world up there without worrying.

[K] Can I really trust this old man...?
[fx] staaare

[W] Doctor Ido said to me that
[W] my job shouldn't be to be soaked into memories...but to build a place for everyone to refresh...

[W] Bah! I think I'll try to rebuild the Kansas.

Page 19

[W] The dead don't return, but
[W] when you, Doctor Ido and Alita come back...there will be once again a place where to take it slowly.

[K] I see...

Page 20

[T] And then, the cable car was completed and the day to go to Tiphares came.

[K] Chaveeez...be a good boooy...
[C] uuuh

[W] Koyomiiii, don't drink unboiled water!!
[K] I'm not a brat, jeez!!

Page 21

[F] What about saying at least goodbye to your father?
[K] That's ok. If I did a kind face I'll be spoiling him!

[K] …...

[K] I'm off!
[T] To space!!
[T] Next Last Order will be in the 09/24 issue since Kishiro is collecting materials for the story.



Things to check:

- Koyomi's father name;
- He calls Ido "Doc", so I switched from to Professor Ido to Doctor Ido. Tell me what you prefer.
- The scene where he screams to Alita that she's a plague, pest, jinx...
Someone should check the exact scene in the English official edition.
- Vector is financing the undergroung arena? Or is he financing the Colossus? If it's a squad,
shouldn't be "Colossi", it's latin plural? It's "colossus" even in the original footnote...
- Gunnm: Another Stories, “Barjack Rhapsody”. Is it ok like this?

Thanks for the translations, Guren. To answer your questions:

1) The Walsh name is new. In the timeline in Another Stories and the PSX game the Bar Kansas owner is called Master (マスター). There is a misconception that his name is Joh because one of the tracks on the Another Stories OST is Joh's Bar, but this is more likely a reference to Joe's Bar, where Esdoc mentions that he found Gally after Hugo's death. (Battle 13, Vol. 3) Walsh isn't even in the OVA.

2) In the English translation Ido is commonly called Doc, Nova is commonly called Professor.

3) Walsh telling Gally to bugger off was after Zapan destroyed the second Bar Kansas with the Berserker Body while searching for her. (Battle 26, Vol. 5) He has a point because the first Bar Kansas was destroyed by Makaku going after her.

4) There are 2 spectator sports in the Scarpyard, Motorball and the Colosseum. The Colosseum mainly shows up in Vol. 1 when Makaku steals Kinabu'a's body to fight Gally. Later Vector hires the champion Zahriki as a bodyguard and Gally defeats him after she and Hugo show up to confront him about being able to get to Tiphares. Vector financing the gladiators is more explicit in the OVA.

5) The side story is called Barjack Ondo (馬借音頭 Bashaku Ondo) but in the notes at the end of Another Stories the phrase Barjack Rhapsody appears in English so I assumed that this is the English title.

I think I did not catch or remember what/who is Gon? (except the little dinosaur manga!)

Spoiler:

I am more and more thinking that the original ending (first 9 volumes) was just a condensed version of what is happening now...

[othergrunty]

Wait, so Figure Four is only 23?

So since Koyomi should be around... 16? now this means Figure was around 7 to 8 years old when Gally was found in the junk heap. This also means that he is younger than Hugo should be if he didn't died.

Wow.

Well at least he is 21 years older than Sechs. That's something to throw in her face if they meet again.

[HumanRage]

shit is so epic.

[AR-99]

From what I can tell the timeline in Another Stories puts Gally found by Ido and the birth of Koyomi in the same year, ES 577, so she is 14 in LO. Hugo's birth year is ES 562 which would make Figure's ES 568, but that year is not in the timeline.

[Eriorguez]

Oh god, the nostalgia hit me quite hard on this one...

[Vinchester]

Thank you very much for the translation!

Also regarding Gon, he's a fat guy who was Ido's neighbour/helper way back in the first volumes. He and most of the Hunter-Warriors died when Zapan trashed Kansas with his new Berserker body.

[AR-99]

^ Didn't catch on to the reference to Gonzu, good one.

[Sam]

Thanks! Indeed Gonzu reminds me more of him than Gon actually.
