Shura-Iro no Senshi (“Battle-Colored Warriors”) Insert Song from DBZ Japanese Episode 20: the apocryphal “History of the Saiya-jin”
作詞：岩室先子 作曲・編曲：山本健司 歌：茅　弘二	Lyrics: Music & Arrangement: Vocals:	Sakiko Iwamuro Kenji Yamamoto Kôji Kaya
	English Translation: Julian Grybowski
Translator’s Note: This song was used during the flashback sequence in DBZ episode 20, when Kaiô-sama tells Goku about the Saiya and Planet Vegeta. The Toei-created attempt at a “history” for the warrior race is undermined by the revelation that Freeza, and not the planet’s own God, destroyed it; however, having the Tsufuru as another race wiped out by the Saiya was first suggested by Toriyama himself, and subsequently resurrected as a plot element for both the “Gaiden” videogame and DBGT. The song itself is from the perspective of Raditz, speaking to his brother.

I’ll make you disappear Hurry up and show yourself, Son Goku With anyone but you, it just won’t be a fight Battle is the storm of life, and power is its own reward If the sun only rises as much as you’ve killed, Gouge them to the marrow of their bones!! We are, we are, battle-colored warriors I’ll make you be serious, so show your fighting spirit Set your rage on fire, and bare your fangs If you don’t get stronger, it won’t be any fun Are you prepared, Son Goku? Your future is in my hands Battle is proof you’re alive, and power is existence If you’re going to laugh, you’d better do it now Beat it, to a world of darkness!! We are, we are, battle-colored warriors Battle is the storm of life, and power is its own reward Battle is proof you’re alive, and power is existence
Hey everybody, Julian here. This invisible text doesn’t have anything to do with the song itself, so as long as you’re just casually reading the lyrics on Daizenshuu EX, this doesn’t concern you. However, if you’re reading this on another site, please contact me, at jgjedi@aol.com. I put a lot of hard work into this transcription/translation, and I don’t appreciate those who would try and take my work, claiming it as their own. The internet is a big place, and lyrics like these get traded and re-posted all the time, but lest you be tempted to over-reach, be aware...I’m watching.
