     はっはははは！銃(じゅう)は彼(かれ)に向(む)けておけ　奴(やつ)が部(へ)屋(や)から出(で)るそぶりを見(み)せたら　撃(う)つんだ　ああ　バットシンボルだけは撃(う)つなよ　あれには…秘(ひ)密(みつ)がある　奴(やつ)の一(いち)番(ばん)強(つよ)い場(ば)所(しょ)だ　まず弱(じゃく)点(てん)である肩(かた)　そしてスーツの継(つ)ぎ目(め)を撃(う)て

     Hahhahahaha! Jū wa kare ni mukete oke Yatsu ga heya kara deru soburi o misetara utsu n da Ā Batto Shinboru dake wa utsu na yo Are ni wa… himitsu ga aru Yatsu no ichiban tsuyoi basho da Mazu jakuten de aru kata soshite sūtsu no tsugime o ute

     Ha ha ha ha ha! Keep your guns trained on him. If he even looks like he’s planning to leave that room, open fire. Oh, and avoid the Bat Symbol. That’s a… a little trick. That’s where the armor’s the strongest. Aim for the weak spots at the shoulders first, then coordinate fire at the points where the plates meet.
