tl by molokidan

1)
BATTLE #469: Front Kick

2)
1: It's begun.
2: You mean...
3: it hadn't already begun!!?
4: The Pencak Silat master, Silkwat Junazard, who even the old man had a rough time against...
5(small): My ship's gonna leave soon, so we'll have to finish this later...

3)
1: Don't die up there, Hongou!!

4)
1: Jatouhan Punchak Pohon! (Treetop Drop) (*Tl note: I guess this is supposed to be Indonesian? I have no clue.)

5)
1: Toundanan Grintana!! (Ground Spin Kick)

6)
1: Funhanchul Pungun!! (Rear Crush)
2: Wh-what's with those attacks?! He can move up, down, left, right, wherever he wants!!
3(small): Did he just go around the entire tower?
4: Silat fighting originated from fighting in the jungle, so there are a lot of moves that utilize geography and high places.
5: Watch out, Mr. Hongou!

7)
1: Tch! Good point...all karate moves were basically created with the idea that two people would be fighting on flat ground!!
2: Does that mean karate's weak vs. Silat's all-over-the-place attacks?
3: I wouldn't say "weak!!" Just, not exactly strong vs it, that's all!!
4(small): Maybe this much...
5: Hongou!!
6: Then why is he fighting on the opponent's field?! He won't be able to use any kicks at this rate!!

8)
1: Front Kick!!
2(2b): N-nevermind...

9)
1: I see, he let the opponent fight on his own turf, let him use all his best moves, and then "put his heart off guard"...
2: Heheheh! That guy doesn't have an ounce of mercy.
3: Nice job, Hongou!!
4: Kaka, not bad!!
5: You may be young, but you're still one of the nine fists...
6: Front Kick!!

10)
1: Tei!
2: Hmph! Don't you know how to enjoy a conversation? You young'uns are always in such a hurry.
3: Front Kick!!

12)
1: Since the opponent's not only strong, but using a bunch of crazy moves to boot, he must have decided to respond with the most basic of the basics!
2: Watch closely! This is how a real karate master (other than me) fights!!
3: Yes sir!!
4: Front Kick!!

13)
1: Or maybe he just decided that "I'm going to defeat my opponent with Front Kicks" today...he's a strangely stubborn guy, you know.
2: Uuu.
3: So he's single-minded <3
4: Front Kick!!
5: Tch! Yeah, that's a strong kick...
6: but it's so simple it makes me yawn!!
7: Busaran Haririntal!! (Whirling Thunder)

14)
1: Shinchi Nengen Style Chouryou Kankuu Shuurin!! (Rampant Sky Gazing Outrage)

15)
1: Ohhh!!
2: Woahhh! His attack hit for the first time!!

16)
1: He kept dishing out a simple attack to throw off the enemy's focus on the fighting style, and then suddenly threw out a really complicated move!!
2: Ohhhhh!!
3: Wow!! So all those Front Kicks were there to connect to that great move!!
4: It's an incredibly simple trick! But under these conditions, it's highly admirable that he had the nerves to do such a thing so simply!
5: However...
6: Even a move like that...
7: Ka...kakakaka.
8: looks pathetic before the maddening martial prowess of Lord Junazard!!

17)
1: That's how you need to be.
2: You're fighting to the death with one of the nine fists...you
3: NEED to be using tricks like that!!

18)
1: What was that?!
2: I-it's the first time that man with the scar moved back!!
3: Ohh!
4: What the hell...
5: What kind of weird pose is that?!!

side: Kenichi is going on break until Issue #20 (April 18)
