168)
1(2b): It feels like in the end, Izawa took everything from us! Even the deal with the Thug Hunter...
1: The city's going to go more and more toward the Izawa party at this rate!
2: What the hell's an Izawa party?
1: Maybe you're secretly one too?
2: How could you tell?
sfx: heheheh
3: Shut the fuck up!!
3: If we let some small-time punk like that guy get full of himself, we'll just end up even more of a laughingstock.
3: People have been saying that the only thing frightening about Setashou is the way they look!!

169)
4(2b): That reminds me, recently...it seems like Panpii's really been looking down on us more than usual...right?
2: Well, they've been around longer than us...(they were gakuran thugs)
4: Hey! You think this is something to be laughing about, shithead?!
2: Aw, shut up. If it bothers you so much,
2: then why don't you take out Izawa yourself, huh?!
Y: Forget about those old-timers...they can do as they please.
2(2b): Yoshii-san!! But...
Y: Don't worry...the ones who have the last laugh in this whole fiasco will be us.
Y: We're the "first ones," after all.

170)
Y: Before anything else, though...we're gonna smash Izawa's rep.
2: Let's go!!
3: I've been waiting!!
1: Yeah!
Y: Idiots...I said smash his REP, didn't I?
Y: You think that's gonna happen if we all go marching over to his house? It'll just end up ruining ours.
2: Th-then what...should we do...
1: I'll do it!
3: Yeah right, there's no way...
Y: I'm gonna leave this one to Taka.

171)
1: Taka...does he mean...?
3: Y-yeah...
1: But that guy's...
2: Senpai!
2: That guy's a weirdo, he's famous for always working solo...
2: He doesn't have the balls to carry out a request to fight someone!
Y: He won't refuse...nah, he won't...
sfx: ku ku ku
Y: He owes me a little something...and he's weak against stuff like that.
2(small): Again...?
2: B-but you really think he can win against IZAWA?!
3: Is Taka really that strong?
1: I dunno...
Y(2b): You idiots really don't know anything, do you...? He's never lost in a one-on-one battle. That guy--

172)
Y: has a dan rank in kendo...
2: Ken...do...? Kendo...is that...strong?
1: Hell, even I did kendo a little when I was a kid!
3: Dumbass.
Y: You assholes really crack me up. I guess you won't understand it until you see him yourselves, huh?
sfx: kukukuku
sfx: idiots

173)
Y: You wanna know what happens when a kendo student sharpens up his moves in street fights?
Y: Just watch this guy and you'll understand everything...your eyeballs will fall right outta your thick skulls.
Y: Now trust me when I say there's no one who can beat that guy in a one-on-one match! He's the strongest!!
Y: If there was someone, it'd have to be another kendo user who's experienced on the street.
2: S...seriously...?
1: That guy...? He sure doesn't look like it, though...
2: Yeah...he doesn't look that buff, either.
3: He's pretty skinny.

174)
4: Yoshii...I...I don't like that guy!
4: Instead of counting on Taka for something like this, we might as well all go finish the job ourselves!
Y: You saying you're unsatisfied with my plans?
4: N-no! But he acts like a lone wolf and makes fun of us, it's plain to see! Letting that second-year get any more...
Y: Then all the more reason to let Taka fight Izawa, so that we can take him out when he's wounded afterwards.
2: That's...crazy...
Y(2b): What's wrong with crazy...? It's time to let everyone know just what kind of a gang we really are.
Y: They're lookin' down on us, right?

175)
Y: A lone wolf...yeah, in that respect, he isn't much different from Izawa...it's perfect.
Y(2b): But...wolves only hunt other wolves.
Y: We're going to make them eat each other up.
Y: And after that, a rain of blood'll fall!
4: Yo-Yoshii...
Y(2b): Didn't you hear me? The ones who'll have the last laugh here...will be us.

176)
1: You're really amazing!
1: I can't believe you were able calm things down this easily...
2: What?! Didn't you get angry and tell him not to stick his nose into this?!
1: Did I?
I: It was nothing...
I: It's not like I was trying to calm things down...I just stuck my nose into someone else's business, like Yosuke said.
I: Sorry.
1: How mature!

177)
Y: The Setashou guys have been keeping quiet lately...you pulled another perfect one off as usual, Izawa.
2: Yosuke, you're complimenting him too much! (Enough already!)
I: I wonder about that.
I: What's wrong? You're sure quiet today.
I(Small): Unusually so...
3: Eh?
3: no...nothing...
3: I-it's just that people have been saying Kamishiro's become completely worthless ever since he was beaten by you.
3: It's like the Thug Hunter got declawed.
2: I dunno...
2: I think he'll come back eventually.
2: What, Masaki, have you lost interest with him already?!
Y: Eat 'em and spit 'em out! You're really horrible, you know!
sfx: gyahahahah
Y(small): Same goes for women too!
I: It's not like that.

178)
I: From here on out, it's up him alone what happens.
I: That's right, Kamishiro--
I: Will he have a future, or is this it for him?
I: I can't even tell which would be better.
I: It's up to you and you alone.
sfx: fuh

179)
sfx: hah
sfx: fuh x4
sfx: shuh x3
sfx: hah
sfx: fuh
sfx: hah x2
I: --your form's slipping--
I: Amateur punches come from the outside in.
I: the ones who really know how to punch thrust straight forward.

180)
N: Yuu's punches had been hitting in predetermined patterns up until now, but--
Y: Straight and accurate...
Y: Put your weight into the punch...
sfx: bih
Y: with experience, though, his opponents see through this pattern....meaning he has to change his punches up to match his opponent.
Y: That's when his form slips.
Y: My fists...
Y: are shaking...
Y: One could call this the first shedding.
Y: It doesn't feel like power is coming out...
I: That long-haired guy...

181)
Y: The top of the punch...
Y: straight forward...
sfx: hah x2
sfx: fuh
I: Yoshii...
I: is one tenacious guy.
sfx: hah x2
I: Yoshii is...
Y: fists...

182)
sfx: dan
Y: Guhhh...
sfx: hah x5
Y: I've got to meet...
Y: with Izawa-san...

183)
Y: But...
Y: what--
Y: face should I make
Y: when I do?

184)
Y: The reason I want to meet with Izawa-san
Y: is because I want him to save me...
Y: or could it be
Y: because I want to save him?
Y: I don't know.
Y: I feel like I'm really depending on him.
Y: On Shin-chan...
Y: and Shougo-kun, too...
S: Don't get conceited.

185)
S: I'm not hanging out with you for your sake.
S: Don't get conceited.
Y: That's right...Shin-chan.
Y: Exactly...
Y: That's it!

186)
Y: I'm still only thinking of my own feelings.
Y: This is wrong!
Y: I'm going to meet up
Y; with Izawa-san.
Y: If I don't, I won't ever understand how he feels.
Y: That's the first step.
