technically any angel that falls belongs to whichever local governing body has jurisdiction over the area it crashes in, but the potential fines and jail times for being caught trying to shift angelic ichor are nothing compared to the fortune you can make off them if you're smart about it. entire families have been set for life by a single haul. besides, rumour has it that it finds its way back into the hands of the national authorities through black market buybacks anyway, so you might as well take advantage of the system.

Raws: here by @kodzekun on twitter
(Many thanks to angel for providing them, this translation would not be here otherwise. I don’t normally translate BSD but seeing as the regular JP translators are stuck on Chinese raws this month, I thought I’d be able to type this up quickly. No injury meant to any scanlation teams!)
[Note: each dash ( — ) separates one panel.]
(P1)
F: “Is this so.”
—
F: “The acting in the waiting room with the signal transmitter in my hand right now, are these all based off of intelligence from the mafia boss?”
—
F: “As expected of him.”
—
T: “That thing is a voice recorder at the same time.”
T: “At this very moment, the military police are listening in on this conversation.”
T: “Which means,”
—
T: “This will be the end, Captain Fukuchi.”
—
F: “Is that so.”
—
T: “….”
—
(P2)
T: “I will admire with great pleasure how your reputation will lie in tatters in the news.”
—
F: “My destruction? Why would such a thing happen?”
—
F: “The military police secret service follows the principles of secrecy, and they are the minority.”
F: “Let Bram bite them all and turn them all into his familiars.”
—
F: “If that comes to be, then my plan will not fall through. Wake up, Bram.”
—
(P3)
B: “Mmhm… How many years has it been since the last time I hath opened my eyes?”
F: “No, you’ve just woken up once not long ago……”
T: “Do you think,”
—
T: “I’ll let you do that?”
F: “You cannot win against me.”
—
T: “That’s not for certain. You must protect that man with only his severed head left. The situation lies in my favour.”
T: “Moreover, with regards to your Ability, I had already thought up a counter-strategy for it.”
—
M: “Tachihara, go destroy the enemies of the world.”
Orders make me, become myself.
—
(P4)
F: “Laughable.”
—
(P5)
He’s coming!
The sword of time and dimension, “Amegozen”!
F: “The tip of the sword will piece the you who existed in the past, and then everything will be over!”
—
(P6)
The tip of the sword… can’t move!
___
(P7)
T: “You forgot an important premise, Mr Captain.”
T: “No matter what kind of famous sword it is, it is but metal.”
—
(P8)
T: “Which means, that’s right down my alley!”
Metal manipulation!
—
Amegozen, can’t pierce the “past”……
—
T: “Then let’s have a sumo wrestling match.”
—
(P9)
….. very good! With my strength I can win this.
—
(P10)
… I was careless.
—
(P11)
Amegozen has been seized from me……
T: “‘To cut the past’, you certainly have the strongest Ability. And the Ability certainly has no faults.”
T: “The only way to counter your Ability, is to seize the sword from your hands before being cut by you.”
F: “…… the number of Ability users in the world who would do this, I could count on one hand.”
As expected, Tachihara’s Ability is very strong……!
But, moreover,
___
(P12)
T: “To be praised like so is my honour, Captain.”
This Ability is my greatest enemy……
T: “But our boss has said this.”
—
T: “Whether it is to skin you alive, or to beat you to your last dying breath, I must never let down my guard.”
—
(P13)
He was able to stave off a blow from a sword travelling at the speed of a bullet!
—
T: “But,”
—
T: “It is all according to plan.”
—
F: “What?!”
The sword broke into pieces. Did he make cracks in it from the beginning?
—
(P14)
F: “Ugh!”
I could not fully evade it. I got pierced by the shards on all over my body.
—
(P15)
T: “I’ve said it before, we’ve got a countermeasure for you here.”
—
The shards of the sword, is travelling up my blood vessels!
___
T: “This is the plan of attack of the boss. Even if it is a god-slaying hero, if his brain or heart is run through with shards of metal, he will, too, die.”
—
(P16)
T: “It looks like the sequel to the movie can’t be completed.”
—
F: “Ugh!” I must take it out quickly……
—
(P17)
“…!”
—
T: “I do have enough shrapnel over here to open an outlet store, though?”
—
F: “Tsk!”
—
He wants to escape the area of attack of my Ability.
T: “It’s useless.”
—
(P18)
(No dialogue)
—
T: “Even though you clutch at your body, it is futile. The shards will follow the path of the blood vessels deep inside of you and go up without fail.”
—
What is this? A “T” shaped marking? Had this been here in these ruins originally?
—
F: “Well done……. Tachihara.”
F: “Amongst the Hunting Dogs… those who could have forced me to such a perilous position, are few in number.”
—
(P19)
T: “I am not a Hunting Dog. I am Tachihara Michizou from the mafia. However,”
—
T: “I had thought it was not so bad in the Hunting Dogs, if you hadn’t done this kind of thing.”

Just How Rare Are Ability Users, Anyway? (I did the math.)
*whips out calculator* Well, with @scalpel-mom-mori‘s help, I may have an answer to the question that has been plaguing me since I looked into Asagiri’s worldbuilding. God help me.
Yokohama Data
So, I looked at confirmed ability users who work in Yokohama, and counting the Hunting Dogs, there are 31. If I place BSD as occurring around 2010 off of how widespread flip phones are with a few smartphones, Yokohama’s population is 3.689 million. Going off of these numbers, 0.000840336% of people are Gifted. In easier terms, 1 in every 119,000 people.
Ah, but I have a feeling this number is still a bit high. Due to the Book and the fact that the Port Mafia and the ADA both operate out of Yokohama, there seems to be a higher than normal concentration of ability users in the city. After all, Atsushi wasn’t born there, and neither was Kenji. So, accounting for a slight skew in favor of ability users, let’s say about 1 in 120,000 people are Gifted. Plus it makes the math easier.
Now, worldwide, there’s about 7.8 billion people. This would mean the worldwide Gifted population is about 65,000 people, which is about the population of the Cayman Islands.
A city like NYC, with about 8.4 million people, would have around 70 Gifted.
However, this number accounts for people with artificial abilities (Chuuya) and those who weren’t born with abilities but inherited them (Tsujimura and Kyouka). Subtracting them from the Yokohama total means Yokohama only has 28 naturally-born Gifted.
28 Gifted out of 3.689 million means about 1 in every 131,750 people is naturally Gifted, which is still skewed in favor of ability users.
Using these new numbers, the worldwide naturally Gifted population is somewhere around 59,203. Because of the skew, this puts the number of actual natural-Gifted closer to 59,000 or lower.
NYC would therefore have around 64 Gifted or slightly less, depending on how unusual a city like Yokohama is (and, consequentially, how much the Yokohama data is skewed).
Now, this is a good enough for most purposes, but I watched Dead Apple today, so let’s take a look at Shibusawa and see if his data matches up with my calculations above.
Dead Apple Data
According to Kunikida in the briefing at the beginning of the movie, 128 fog-related incidents were confirmed. The map shown basically puts these incidents at population hotspots around the world–big cities. Now, we get several shots of Shibusawa’s collection room, which shows all his ability crystals arranged in a grid.
I had to use some rough guestimation because many of the shots are at inconvenient angles and the goddamn room is circular. From what I could tell, abilities are stacked 2 deep in sections of 8 visible rows with 7 columns. There are 20 sections divided by pillars, each of which conceal a single column of 8 abilities, also stacked 2 deep. However, one section is a door, so there are only 19 sections of abilities on the first floor.
Given what is visible, it seems that there are 2,448 abilities on Shibusawa’s first floor. There’s a second floor, but there aren’t enough clear shots of it in either the movie or manga adaptation for me to guestimate with any degree of accuracy. So he really has even more than that.
To use a technical term, that’s a shit ton of abilities. If the Yokohama data is correct, that’s 4% of the world’s ability users. Again, this doesn’t even account for Shibusawa’s second floor.
For the sake of argument, let’s just say that his smaller second floor contains half of what was on the first floor. Total, that’s 3,672 abilities, or 6% of the world’s Gifted. That’s how many people Shibusawa killed for their abilities.
Now, he hit 128 cities according to the Special Operations Division. On average, he picked up about 28 ability users in each city (rounded down). If my math for Shibusawa is at all accurate, it actually props up my first calculation of the approximate Gifted population worldwide. Why?
That’s how many natural-born Gifteds live in Yokohama.
*snaps calculator shut* Thank you for reading, and do please feel free to correct my math or add on. I find it highly suspicious that my math worked out so well.
