## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter 38** of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.

## Summary

After noticing that Senta was prepared to fight, she wonders if he had any attachments to Yuzuriha. Mu Dan rushes towards Sagiri and strikes her from a distance. He then directs his attention to Yuzuriha and asked if she observed his demonstration of Tao. Before going any further, Senta cuts Mu Dan's hands and his right leg, saying that he will have to get past him first. Yuzuriha tells Senta to not interfere and uses her ninjutsu to kill Mu Dan. However, Mu Dan survives through his regeneration and comments on Yuzuriha's poor usage of Tao. Senta cuts the top part of Mu Dan's head, thinking that blinding him will give them the advantage. After hearing this statement, Mu Dan ceases the regeneration of his eyes and dodges every one of their attacks. He grabs Yuzuriha by her leg, swings her towards Senta and knocks him back. He then explains that Tao allows him to feel out the movements of his opponents and tells them they are no match for him. Sagiri tries to recover from Mu Dan's attack earlier and asks Hōko if Mu Dan possessed any weakness. Hōko says that he can't be stopped since he has the powers of a god. Sagiri encourages him to try to give her any hints after reminding him of the fact that he will not be able to return to Mei. Mu Dan takes note of Yuzuriha's Ninpō: Body Replacement and comments how she had the same attribute as him and how close she was to achieving hōjutsu, though this left her confused as to what he was talking about. He then thought about moving on to killing Senta but avoids a sneak attack from Sagiri. After being warned by Senta about his ability to predict a person's movements, Sagiri throws her sword at Mu Dan's abdomen as way to counteract this. Using the advice Hōko gave about cutting his tanden to disrupt his Tao, Sagiri cleaves throw his stomach. However, Mu Dan tells her that attacks without Tao do no harm to him and regenerates his injury. After confirming her suspicion up close, Sagiri takes a breath and releases a burst of Tao. Shocked by this phenomenon, Mu Dan jumps back to avoid the next attack but receives a slight cut on his face by Sagiri. Mu Dan concludes that Sagiri can control Tao and gleefully smiles. Yuzuriha and Senta then noticed that Mu Dan's wound wasn't healing.

## Summary

After arriving at the Banko's Earth tanden, Shion tells Nurugai to stay back as he defends against the monsters approaching them but sees that he is well past his limits. They then hear the sound of the conch from Yuzuriha, signaling that everyone has reached their respective tandens and can begin to destroy them. Seeing as how the tanden is too high up for his sword to reach, Shion imbues Nurugai's sword with his strengthen Tao and throws it towards the tanden but unfortunately leaves a shallow cut. Zhu Jin feels that she is harmed from their attempt and controls the monsters to extract their Tao. Shion yells out to Nurugai to stay behind him until the next sound of the horn since her inability to use Tao puts her in danger. Nurugai then remembers the times Shion told her to stay back as he fights alone and how he relinquished his status as a Yamada Asaemon in front of Kiyomaru in order to become her guardian. Nurugai asks Shion if he meant what he said during the time, which he answers yes. After saying that she was happy to hear him state that, Nurugai rushes in to attack the monsters. At the same time, Nurugai remembers the reason as to why she cannot perceive Tao but manages to awaken this ability after correcting herself. She then tells Shion that she needs to use her own strength to survive and asks that he become her partner instead of a guardian. Shion agrees to this and asks that she take the lead until the next sound of the horn from Yuzuriha. Having been harmed once again by the two, Zhu Jin becomes furious and causes the Earth tanden to sprout multiple bodies of Mu Dan, much to Shion and Nurugai's shock.

## Summary

Rien attacks Chōbei with Tao and causes him to sense that he is dangerous. Rien claps his hands in fascination, seeing as how Chōbei achieved hybridization from being infected by the Waitanhua flower in the pit. He then decides to examine him further and sends a destructive Tao ball his way. Chōbei dodges and enters his transformation in full control by suppressing the vines inside him. He manages to overwhelm Rien but is finding it difficult to keep the vines from taking over his body. After piercing Rien's tanden, Chōbei destroys his body and prepares to end his transformed state. However, Rien suddenly appears behind Chōbei, revealing that he has destroyed one of his many clones he brought along. After seeing Chōbei unleash the Tao of the Waidan flower, Rien expresses his satisfaction and decides to take him back to the palace. Chōbei tries to attack but is unable to resist the effects of the vines. Rien then uses a Tao palm strike to knock Chōbei unconscious. He then dreams of his desire of not making the same mistake as his father by abandoning his brother. Later, Chōbei wakes up tied to a bed and sees Rien as a female.

Silent Seven Stars

Silent fue el NPC victima del primer caso (Capitulo 1: Se le ha caido la tuerca) del rol "Atracciones de la Desesperación".

## Silent Seven Stars

### Roler

Koma

 Carácter

Porque realmente su personalidad tambien es bastante simple. Un poco gracias a su pasado y otro gracias a ser ciborg, es capaz de esconder sus emociones, teniendo casi siempre una falsa expresion en su cara para adaptarse a la situacion. Aunque es capaz de sentir, rara vez lo muestra pues eso es uno de los aspectos que mas odia de los humanos y por tanto no quiere bajar a ese nivel.

## Backstory

Sencillo, quiere ese mundo debido a su odio de humanos el cual surgio por la vida que vivio como humano, la gente se burlaba de el, le abusaba y para su familia era simplemente alguien en el que descargar su furia pues "No era como lo esperaban" Y el conseguir su talento... Podria ser algo en plan que como casi siempre preferia estar solo pues trato de crearse compañia, al principio empezando por los tipicos amigos imaginarios pero sintiendo que no eran suficiente pues no estaban de verdad ahi. No viendo otra opcion, pues sus interacciones con personas eran malas, decidio usar cualquier material que pudiese obtener para crearse compañia, al principio ni eran seres de metal pero con el tiempo y conforme los robots fueron apareciendo el vio una oportunidad para darle vida a la compañia que tanto queria, una compañia que si le aceptaria. Y pues asi fue.

Secretos:

-El mismo se ha convertido en un cyborg, perdiendo toda la humanidad. Aunque este hecho lo va a ocultar hasta su muerte (literalmente).

-La mano derecha tiene una espada incrustada (en plan, que con un botón sale del brazo como en Assassins creed). Esto lo puedes usar alguna vez si quieres.

-Eres el verdadero creador de los robots del parque, tanto de Monokuma como los otros.

## Desarrollo

LO QUE TIENES QUE HACER EN ROL

-Cuando un robot de Monokuma este roto, debes quedartelo y decir que vas a arreglar y descubrir cómo funciona. Llévatelo todo el rato y cuando puedas déjalo en el hotel en tu habitación.

-Haz cosas buenas e intenta calmar a todos, debes aparentar amistoso. Aunque a veces puedes enfadarte o sentirte molesto por lo que sea

-Intenta ser el líder y liderar el grupo diciendo que los vas a sacar de ahí, que tienes la forma de escapar pero necesitas un poco más de tiempo.

-Di que conoces a Monokuma y otros hechos relacionados con el, si quieres te puedo ir diciendo información

-Odias a la humanidad por el hecho de ser tan sentimentales y emocionales.

-Conoces Jinx Neviltis de antes, pero no recuerdas de que. Debes mostrarte interesado en descubrir de que la conoces. ESTE ES TU TRABAJO EN ESTE ROL, DESCUBRIR QUIÉN ES JINX NEVILTIS Y PORQUE LA CONOCES, ALGO DE TI HACE QUE NO TE FIES NADA DE ELLA Y QUE ESCONDE ALGO BASTANTE GORDO. Pero esto último te atreves a decirlo a nadie, por miedo de que piensen mal de ella y de ti.

-Por las noches (las que dures) di que te gustaría hacer patrullas solo y que nadie te acompañe.

## Curiosidades

-Lust hizo una muñeca de el tras su muerte.

## Summary

Gabimaru turns and notices someone watching. The spy runs off but Gabimaru manages to catch the spy and discovers that its a little girl. He is then attacked by a tree monster. Thinking the girl might know something about the island, Gabimaru decides to run after her and leave the tree monster to the three. Since she was in charge of Gabimaru, Sagiri runs after him and leaves the rest to Yuzuriha and Senta. Yuzuriha knocks over Senta's glasses so he can't see her abilities and decides to take on the tree monster with her ninjutsu. Gabimaru catches up to the girl but is shocked by her strength after she throws him aside. Sagiri yells to her that they don't intend to harm her, however, the girl throws a punch towards Sagiri. Gabimaru blocks the punch but notices that she is using a mysterious power behind her attack, causing him to cough blood. Gabimaru starts to act serious and captures her using vines. Intimated by his serious demeanor, the girl starts crying, prompting Sagiri to tell Gabimaru to bring her down and calm her down. Seeing her in a helpless state, Gabimaru figures that she was just an ordinary girl. Yuzuriha arrives after finishing her business with the tree monster and asked how things were going on their end. Gabimaru wanted to ask her about the elixir but Sagiri says that it wouldn't be possible with her crying. Suddenly, the tree monster started talking, pleading them to let go of the child and that it would tell them about the elixir and guide them to the village.

## Summary

Mei asks Ran how he knew of their arrival. He reveals that Chōbei has informed them that the humans would be coming to invade the palace and agreed to keep track of their arrival by sensing their Tao on one condition. Gabimaru finds himself in trouble due to Ran possessing the Water-attribute which hinders his Fire-attribute. Ran becomes delighted to see Mei once again and begs her to return back to their side, explaining that they no longer need to follow the Outer Way of Tao since they have completed their research in creating the Elixir of Life. Hearing this, Gabimaru becomes shock. Despite his plea, Mei refuses and says that she wishes to say goodbye to Lord Tensen before leaving. Ran becomes disappointed and stated that the Rite of Just Consumption would have to continue. After Sagiri asks what he meant, Ran explains that it was ritual to capture and offer the humans as sacrifices to the grandmaster. During their advancement, the Gantetsusai, Fuchi, and Tōma get separated from Shion and Nurugai. The three then encounter Tao Fa and Ju Fa while Shion and Nurugai are approached by Zhu Jin once again. Knowing that their plan to avoid Lord Tensen has failed, the group decide to move on to their second plan, which is to fight against the Tensens. Gabimaru announces to Ran that they won't give up without a fight and that they will all leave the island. Seeing as how the ritual has already begun, Ran prepares to engage in battle with the team.

## Summary

Chōbei, while suffering from Zhu Jin's effects on his body, explains to everyone that according to Mei the Banko has spread all over the palace and that the fragments in the air are Tan particles from the flowers, which will cause anyone to undergo Arborification if inhaled. Mei also warns them that they have until morning to destroy it or everyone's Tao will be disrupted and turn into flowers. Chōbei senses that the Banko has five tandens of each of the Five Elements scattered around the area. After remembering his fight with Ju Fa and Tao Fa, Gantetsusai sees that they have to destroy all of the Banko's tanden at the same time. Shion becomes concern with everyone's condition since their battles with the Tensens has left them in bad shape to fight another monster. The group then fights back against the approaching monsters. After hearing Sagiri and Nurugai make excellent points about needing enough Tao to kill the Banko and stopping the monsters from intruding, Jikka, while lazily lying down, tells them that they need Gabimaru to handle this problem. Sagiri ducks after sensing a fire torrent coming from behind her, which incinerates the monsters, and sees that Gabimaru has arrived but in the same worst condition as Chōbei. With Gabimaru in a bad state, Jikka sees that he has to change his plans and turns his attentions to the Iwagakure shinobi beside him. Gabimaru becomes glad to see that Sagiri is okay since he reminds her that he is required to return with her to receive the pardon, much to Sagiri's disappointment. Despite everyone feeling exhausted, Chōbei says that they have to fight back no matter what happens. He then walks up to Gabimaru and asks if he had anything to lose, to which he answers saying that he does after remembering Yui and that he has no other option. Chōbei becomes satisfied after hearing this from him. Shion then looks at Nurugai and sees that he also has something to lose. Jikka walks up to Isuzu, who wonders if Gabimaru has charmed Sagiri after seeing her wanting to help him, and says that she must cooperate to catch up with Shugen. Although she swore not to work with the criminals, Isuzu says that she will force herself to help as well. With everyone onboard, Jikka prepares to discuss the plan but wishes for Shion to explain instead, much to his annoyance since the Asaemon has not been contributing. While Gabimaru is distracted, the Iwagakure shinobi take the opportunity to attack him with thrown kunai. Gabimaru and Sagiri then turn around to see that they are in trouble.

## Summary

Mei rushes in to stop Gabimaru from using his last remaining energy to defeat Chōbei. She releases her Tao to create a massive crater and causes Gabimaru and the two siblings to fall. Gabimaru manages to get himself to safety and throws stones at Chōbei as his last attempt to attack. Chōbei pushes Tōma out of the way and tells him to wait for his return as he falls down the valley. Gantetsusai and Fuchi wonders how Mei was able to cause this to happen and turn around shock to see her fully grown. The two then wish they had an explanation for all the mysterious they had witnessed. Meanwhile inside Hōrai, Sagiri suggests that they go outside and reunite with Gabimaru and the others. However, Yuzuriha does not wish to cooperate and says that their focus should be trying to escape from the island. Sagiri sees throw her intentions and reveals her plan to return home safely with the remaining Asaemon as alibies to the shogun that the elixir does not exist. Sagiri reassures her that she plans to have everyone including her to return home. She then wonders if Gabimaru managed to arrive at the gate from the very beginning. Yuzuriha tells her that she found evidence that he was there before they came and agrees to go follow Sagiri to the gate. After seeing Hōrai clearly during the day, the group becomes captivated by its mystic setting. Hōko remembers Mu Dan's words about Lord Tensen experimenting with human life's and the humans on the island acting as test subjects. He wonders if the current humans on the island will bring a change after seeing that they managed to kill a Tensen and wonders if he will still be alive before the Arborification kills him. Once they reached the gate, the group encounter Fuchi, Gantetsusai, an unconscious Gabimaru, Mei, and Tōma. Both Sagiri and Fuchi ask what has happened to them during their time apart. Hōko sees that Mei has matured after using her power and expresses his gratitude that her allies kept her safe. He then asked if they traveled from the Sōshin nest. Gantetsusai answers that they did and killed the Sōshin. Hōko becomes shock to see that they have a Dōshi hostage and asked if they defeated him.

## Chapter Chronology

## Summary

Shion and Nurugai fight Zhu Jin in their partial Kishikai form. While fighting, Shion remembers his past of becoming a street performer with his mother and how it led him into the Tōdōza and the Yamada clan. To not sully his mother's honor, Shion went along with the false backstory his mother gave him and kept his real past life a secret from the Yamada clan. After hearing Tenza speak his mind to Shugen about how he should see him for what he is now, along with watching him gradually gain acceptance despite his past, Shion becomes inspired to be like his student. Back in the present, Shion dodges Zhu Jin's lightning Tao attack and hears them gloating about how he does not stand a chance against their power. Shion angrily silences Zhu Jin, declares that he will defeat them, and tells Nurugai to stay back as he rushes in to cut Zhu Jin's left hand and tanden. Remembering the survivors strategy meeting about how they should go about directly targeting Lord Tensen's plant ovules, Shion disembodies Zhu Jin's body with their stomach cut opened and presses his sword down on the Tensen's ovule to end the battle. While doing so, Shion is assaulted by the ovule with vines entering his body, which Mei warned the survivors about. However, Shion continues to press down on his sword knowing that if they both die then he will still be victorious in the end.

そっと重ねてみた

だけどもはみ出した

端の方だけ破った

だけどあなたはそのままでいいと

散らかった欠片をもう一度繋いで

直してくれた

心は紙一重

その心を感じてたい

いつの日も

明ける明日を持って　儚い夢に焦がれて

あなたは誰かを　今日も想いながら

胸に抱いた願い　遣い続けるのでしょう

いつかその声が　届きますように

何度傷ついても　守り続けた愛が

いつかあなたを　包みますように

Sotto kasanete mita

Dakedo mo hamidashita

Hashi no hou dake yabutta

Dakedo anata wa sono mama de ii to

Chirakatta kakera wo mou ichido tsunaide

Naoshite kureta

Kokoro wa kami hitoe

Sono kokoro wo kanjitetai

Itsu no hi mo

Akeru ashita wo motte hakanai yume ni kogarete

Anata wa dareka wo kyou mo omoi nagara

Mune ni idaita negai tsukai tsuzukeru no deshou

Itsuka sono koe ga todokimasu you ni

Nando kizutsuitemo mamori tsuzuketa ai ga

Itsuka anata wo tsutsumimasu you ni

## Summary

Knowing that his Fire Tao has no effect on Ran's Water Tao, Gabimaru tells Yuzuriha that they need to rely on her Earth Tao to defeat him. He starts off by throwing a burst of fire at Ran and uses Ninpō: Hi no Hashi. Ran extinguishes the flames but is pulled down by Yuzuriha's mucus string. Gabimaru attacks and dodges an attack Ran makes to his tanden. He then uses Ninpō: Hibōshi but has no effect and is thrown towards Yuzuriha. Ran becomes impressed with their display of ninjutsu and challenges them to fight him once again. The two shinobi then unleash their various ninjutsu techniques. Ran bushes them off but suddenly notices that his body started to crack. Gabimaru reveals that his earlier attack was meant to overstimulate Ran in order to make him lose his sense of judgement and timing, stalling enough time to have the Kishikai end after consuming too much Tao for half an hour. Ran's Kishikai then falls apart and gives Gabimaru and Yuzuriha an opening to attack.

## Summary

As Gabimaru fights Sagiri, he remembers the Iwagakure Chief's words as an infant about how sentimentality is weakness and how if he is not strong he won't be capable of protecting anyone. After what Kishō said about Iwagakure getting involve in the mission, Gabimaru knew that it would all be over for him in terms of finding the Elixir of Life and had no choice but to kill Sagiri. As they fought, Sagiri and Gabimaru were holding back in confusion. Gabimaru then remembers his wife's words on how sentimentality is not a form of weakness but a form strength as a warrior but how it also taught him hatred. He then goes back to remembering the chief's believes again and cuts Sagiri's sword in half. Gabimaru then proceeds to attack, telling her that resisting is useless and that he apologizes. However, Sagiri provokes him by saying that he wasn't capable of feeling sentiment given his reputation. Gabimaru agrees to her statement and pins her down in a murderous state. Before he could kill Sagiri, he is once again reminded of his wife's influence and stops himself from killing her. Because he couldn't bring himself to kill Sagiri, Gabimaru sheds tears as he believes that with the way he is he won't be able to survive on the island or see his wife. Sagiri tells Gabimaru the fact that he can feel emotions is a sign of strength and not weakness and promises him that if he faces his emotions while reclaiming his life then she will support him throughout the journey. Finally, Sagiri tells Gabimaru that he is no longer the man he was before and sheathes his sword.

Gabimaru wonders himself as to why he has changed ever since he landed on the island but comes to accept this new behavior, stating that he was repaying a debt. He then asked why they wanted to capture Mei. The Centipede Dōshi tells him that Mei is a key component to their training in the ways of Tao. He explains to them the five training methods and one of them called Bōchū Jutsu involves sexual intercourse with a partner to join the two chi's, Yin and Yang, together. He then goes on to tell them that Lord Tensen possess the two energies and are training in Bōchū Jutsu to create the ultimate Tao.

Henge no Jutsu

## Users

Ginkakubō
Kinkakubō
Shija

**Henge no Jutsu** (変化の術, *Literal meaning*: Transformation Technique) is a ninjutsu that allows a shinobi to change their facial structure to resemble the person they are trying to impersonate, making it very useful in deceiving people. Though this ninja art may work on normal people it has been proven to be ineffective against experienced shinobi since they are able to sense the user's killing intent.

As with the case of Kinkakubō and Ginkakubō, the transformation can be pushed even further by also imitating the person's musculature and voice.

## Trivia

* This technique is based on a real-life ninja art, Hensōjutsu, where a ninja would assume a false identity in order to blend in with a population and spy.

Ninpō: Ikari Tsubute

## Users

Gabimaru
Kumokiri

**Ninpō: Ikari Tsubute** (忍法 雷 (いかり) 礫 (つぶて) , *Literal meaning*: Ninja Art: Thunder Stones) is a ninjutsu where the shinobi uses the stones around them to bombard their opponent by unleashing a swift kick that launches the stones as projectiles. Because of the strong launching power from the kick, the stones are capable of puncturing through the human body. Gabimaru uses this technique to attack from a distance in case he cannot allow himself to get too close to his opponent.

## Variations

### Hibōshi Version

Gabimaru can use a Ninpō: Hibōshi version known as **Ninpō: Ikari Tsubute — Hibōshi Bājon** (忍法 雷 (いかり) 礫 (つぶて)  火 (ひ) 法 (ぼう) 師 (し) 拵え (バージョン) , *Literal meaning*: Ninja Art: Thunder Stones — Fire Monk Version). After using Ninpō: Hibōshi, Gabimaru grabs and sets a few rocks on fire and launches them in the same manner as Ikari Tsubute. This is called **Ninpo: Stone Storm, Ascetic Blaze Mode** in the Viz Manga.

### Centipede Version

An improvised version in his battle with a Dōshi where Gabimaru redirects the trajectory of the Paradise Centipede's launched at him towards another target. This version is known as **Ninpō: Ikari Tsubute — Mukade Bājon** (忍法 雷礫 虫 (ムカデ) 拵え (バージョン) , *Literal meaning*: Ninja Art: Thunder Stones — Centipede Version).

## Trivia

* To a certain degree, Ran performed this technique after he deflected the stones Gabimaru initially launched towards him.
* In an omake included in *Jigokuraku Kaitai Shinsho*, Kumokiri demonstrated to be a confirmed user of this technique.

## Summary

Shion prepares to strike the monsters tandens but halts his blade after not sensing any strong waves. This leaves Shion open for the monster to regenerate its stingers and attempt to attack him. Senta yells out to Shion that the monsters weakness is its ovule since its body is plant-based. Shion dodges the monsters attacks and strikes its ovule, opening multiple heads of Mu Dan. One of the heads becomes captivated by Shion being able to face death and wishes that he could tell Rien of this scene. Shion drops his blade and successfully kills Mu Dan. As a result, the surrounding area becomes covered in flowers. After finally ending the battle, Sagiri rushes to Senta who is still succumbing to his wounds. Sagiri begs Yuzuriha to apply more of her medicine. However, she refuses seeing as how Senta is close to death and decides to give the medicine to Shion. Yuzuriha comforts Senta as she tells him to let go of his duties as an executioner and think about something he desires as his last memories. During his last moments, Senta thinks about Yuzuriha next to him and dies with a smile. The group buries his body and decides to rest before continuing on their journey. Sagiri thanks Yuzuriha and Nurugai in gratitude for their help and states her resolve to have everyone on the island survive and return home safely.

## Summary

Earlier before arriving at the floodgates, Shugen senses a strange energy emitting from the gourd containing the Elixir of Life and becomes suspicious of its contents, prompting him to taste test it for any underlying poisons before the time had come to hand it over to his superiors, much to the shock of the shinobi accompany him. He then declares it to be safe for consumption. By the time he faces Gantetsusai, the full effects of the elixir is shown to have run its course as Shugen's eyes start to change, along with his heart beating fast. Shugen then starts to fight Gantetsusai. Gantetsusai notices that Shugen is able to fight properly again and that the way he moves his body is similar to Fuchi's, which complicated matters for the swordsman. After his robe is cut, Gantetsusai sees the bandages Fuchi used to heal him with before his death and decides to stop fighting, which made Shugen question if he was ready to surrender. Gantetsusai tells Shugen that he remembered the reason as to why he boarded the ship but that it was not to fight him. He then lets him in on how he came to be known as the "Blade Dragon", explaining that in the past he used to go around the provinces searching for monsters to defeat and that the first one he came across and cut down was a ship's "keel" (竜骨, *ryūkotsu*?). With that said, Gantetsusai smiles as he brings his sword down and slashes the ship, which resulted in his wounds opening up. He laughs that he was unable to completely cut the ship in half but figures that another attempt would be able to. An angry Rien then steps out and tells Gantetsusai that he could not stop the ship since it is made out of Tao. Gantetsusai says that he has done all he could to slow her down, as the survivors ship pulls up next to Rien's, and readies himself to get off the ship instead of continuing to fight, stating that his life was a gift given to him and that he will not throw it away. However, Gantetsusai tells Rien and Shugen that someone else stronger than him will arrive shortly and that he hopes their ready to face him. He then becomes happy to see that Gabimaru has made it just in time. Gabimaru jumps onboard the ship, compliments Gantetsusai for the work he has done, and tells him that he will handle the task of taking down the ship as he faces both Rien and Shugen.
