Hajime no Ippo 839

A big thanks to I-O's translations, I fixed some lines that were confusing at best in my earlier translation.

This is a Franky House Translation.

Hajime no Ippo 839
By fierywind

01
Shocked and stunned! While the fight is on hold, Miyata is clearly DOWN!!
Is the impossible really possible?! Here comes the count!
Bottom left: Rapidly losing speed, stamina and everything…
Title: Round 839, The chosen path

02
1…
2…

3…

Hah…
Hah…
Hah…

Is this for real? Wasn’t that just a scratch?
He was barely struck…

Didn’t you know about the incident backstage?

The action back in the gym was…
Twice as powerful as that kid…

03
It’s like during the time…
Yes…

He has surpassed his father in all the aspects that he inherited… the hope and the worry too…
The hope was in the form of his offensive strength, while the worry was his weak strike…

Furthermore, his body is weak…
He was even weaker before…

If he continues this fight, he’ll accumulate much more damage…

There’s an opening on his fractured fist…
He ought to rest…

For example...

Like forging a sword which is only sharp but without strength…
With just a touch from the exquisitely sharp, polished blade, everything will fall apart…

04
The prized blade that was outstandingly sharp is…
Extremely easy to break…

Loss by weight…?

Speed and blows also increase the effect but…
The body weight is important… The burden is undoubtedly heavy…

Although impossible, the attacking strength must be boosted.

Insufficient weight…
Ichiro-kun is noosed from every angle…

By increasing the class, there are many athletes that could became strong instantly.
Of course, the lightness of his punch also has to be eliminated…
If you remain in the feather weight class, very soon you’ll only have a negative.

05
This is MY chosen path!

Ah… He’s standing up!
A fighting pose!! An appeal for continuation!

What is the referee’s decision?!

Resume!!

06
Randi’s in a forward position… Gong!

This is the end of the 5th round!

Sa…
Saved…!

How’s the damage?
I can see that his legs are twisted…but…
He should be alright! Didn’t he just stand up by himself?

However… even with that…
The situation took a turn for the worse…

07
Is your fighting strength something you inherited genetically?
Father and son both, such fragile jaws…

But it’s nothing to celebrate. The brain was shaken, and the signals sent to his body were temporarily broken. The “down” is not over yet…

Just deliver the decisive blow…
There’s no way he can possibly stand up again a second time.

Who is the one having fun now?

I wish that his suffering body would be in pain after such a long hour
No mistake about it.
Please finish the match in one shot…

Alright, I will deal him the final blow…
But not for your sake, the victory is for myself!

I’ll definitely win!

What’s the problem?
Understand?
Can you hear me?

08
Please don’t panic. I am fine…
I am alright…

Bu…but…

You…
How much more can your right hand take?

It’s true…
I can’t hide it from you…

If I strike with all my strength,
Honestly… maybe another 2 to 3 attacks…

Eh…?
What was that?

Please take extra care of your precious weapon!
Also, when that time comes…

Do it just like you intend to finish it by killing each other

09
Second out!

“When that time comes…” means…
He has to rely on his left hand until then…?!
That’s impossible!

Until…

That time comes…

Round 6!!

10
Miyata is on…

Guard!!

Miyata-kun?!

When getting up from the chair, my legs felt the heaviness of my body
What’s precious is not only the shot…

What should I do…?
If I take the shot now, my energy will become less…

This stance does not suit you…
Is that so…

11
You can’t move, can you?
Miyata…!!

Uwah… he’s coming, he’s coming!
He’s coming!!!
He’s coming to claim his victory!!

His feathers were practically pulled off…
The god of thunder has fallen to earth…

Now then, the fist of…
Victory!!

What’s coming? Where are you coming from?
Is it “southpaw”? Or is it “orthodox”!?

12
The left hand from the right side!
Without stopping, here comes the next!

You’re putting those two together!

This time is the left! Shift the orthodox…
A violently switching “natural trick”!

Shit… not able to read…
Can’t connect…

Speaking of “that time”
No mistake, that was a big chance to “counter”.
When did you come over to support!?

The fighting demon, Asura’s six arms!!
After this, what type of strike are you going to launch? It’s impossible to predict!

13
It’s impossible to “counter” if you can’t read!
Speed, body strength, attacking power, all of these are being robbed from you!

Randi is violently attacking!
Are you able to get pass that!?

Randi’s method is getting fast…
He’s suddenly picking up speed…
Miyata, that’s not it…

I am cornered!

He has risen… he’s showing that “guard” stance!
Together with speed, your body’s flexibility was also lost!

14
Damn…
If only I could predict the next punch…
Urghhh…

F4
Shocking!!
His “guard” was broken down…!

F5
I was being twisted…
Look… It’s only half done…throwing back your body is useless… Take this!!

15
Ah…

How did he manage to “counter” with an unpredicted punch?!
That’s impossible, Miyata-san!

16
A….ah…

Please change the operation… quick, are there any other plans?
If it goes on like this, you’ll just let him die…

17
Why aren’t you saying anything?!
Or don’t you have any other ideas?
Call for support…

18
Please call for support…
No matter how long you wait, “that time” just won’t come!!

Ah… It’s a strike!
Miyata is still standing upright!

Background: Miyata will win!! I really want to believe!! But there’s nothing to support that belief anymore…!!
