Warning: Spoilers and tearjerkers.
And one more time, a huge thanks to kanoe81 for all her hard work on translations, so we all can know what is really going on.
</a>(This one is from the English vol. 16 but it fit so well, how could I resist.)
Ban and Akabane's fight has come to its brutal end. Ban falls first, severally wounded. Akabane stands in reverence only to shortly later reveal in a grand splatter of blood the damage Ban has also made to him. As Akabane's hat flies to the ground he makes his silent exit leaving the others to the continued mystery that is Dr. Jackal.
Ban knows now that his time has come and turns to ask for a last smoke from Paul, who though noticibly sad, willingly fufills the favor. Ban has started to dissapear from this wolrd.
</a>He tries to comfot Himiko once again and says his goodbyes and thanks in his own ways stateing that he has nothing to regret.
</a>Mid speech he is delivered what seems to be a fininshing blow from Akabane. Somewehre form the shadows the jackal has thrown a singl scaple to Bans chest. Ban falls in Himikos arms as Ginji, about to enter the gate to "heaven" feels Bans preasence begien to slip. He is stunned but resolved that he mucst finish his mission as a getbacker for Ban.
</a>Ginji enters "heaven" only to be transposed (no pun intended) to another world where he is met by Dr. Jackal, or perhaps an alternate Dr. Jackal dressed in white.
</a>(Its a jackal! Jackal? Jackal. Jackal!...)
Oh so sad!!! I am so glad I have read past this point or I probably would not have slept well for weeks...
Also, if I went to heaven and was met by Dr. Jackal I'd be having my doubts... wouldn't you?!?!
Well, I had fun posting all these. I am glad so many others were able to enjoy the story, contribute, and have some fun discussions. I guess its on to fan fics and waiting for the English volumes to come out for me now. But, I'll still be here on the comm keeping in touch!

As for Jackal its still a toss up of my heart pumping for fear of flutters for me...

It`ll be great that you scan some more volumes cause I just can`t get enough of them ^___^!!!
March 5 2007, 21:12:05 UTC 5 years ago
Somewhere a while back on the comm I scanned in how Ginji first called Ban Ban-chan.
Amazon.com will probably have the books or ebay.
I have a few volumes that are written in Japanese I can send you, if shipping isn't a problem. Can't really read them but the pictures tell a good story. I bought a lot of the volumes in Japanese because I HAD to know what happened next, and now slowly the ones I bought are being printed in English. So its almost like I have 2 copies of some now. I am happy to send them on to someone who would like them. You can e-mail me if your interested, ugbun@hotmail.com

Thaaaaaaanks
First of all... Ugbun, thanks so much for posting these!! I don't know how much we really need to post of 89/90 since they're pretty self explanatory, but hopefully i'll have time to finish those soon. Sorry, just been so busy lately.The only GB update I have:
GB #38 comes out 3/16
GB #39 in April
GETBACKERS: THE LAST PIECE Guidebook comes out in April, probably around the same time as #39
I've been trying to read Ayamine's blog and he said that there should still be a special edition for vol. 38 as well with 5 postcards again, this time with GB, Akabane, Hevn + Masaki, Makubex and Sakura + Kaoru (I don't get that one, but okay). He also said he gave an interview for the guidebook the other day and they ended up chatting so it was 4 hours long.

Re: Thaaaaaaanks
No problem, take your time on translations. I am just glad to be getting them. I was thrilled to see that you still planned on translating them. One could probably make a guess at what the characters are saying but its still great to know how it all really happened. (or I will have added my own sad little interpretations in my head like... oh and there Ban is finally telling Ginji he loves him... hee hee hee).Thanks for the updates! I really hope I can find the last piece somewhere when it comes out. The store I know of here only has the magazines and it is hard to find the volumes even till much later. Ohwell, still exciting.

Re: Thaaaaaaanks
Heee, I'd love that but I like how his actions speak much louder than words. I'm pleased to see that you are still giving us scans and it's true we still have the english volumes to look forward too:)
