Date: Why, Momo!? He’s a badger of the same hole as his father, Toudou Hyoue!!

13.
Momotarou: Fu: I don’t well understand it either. But there was a sadness that can’t be compared looking in the center of the eyes of a man burning with ambition and fighting spirit…………!!

Momotarou: The time has finally come!!
Date: Yes, it’s been a long road.
Date: OUR TRUE OBJECTIVE IS TO ATTACK TOUDOU HYOUE, WHO SOLD TO THE ENEMY THE LIVES OF 2,800 FELLOW COUNTRYMEN OF THE JAPANESE FORCES ON SAMAN ISLAND DURING WORLD WAR II AND ROSE UP TO BE CALLED THE DON OF JAPAN WITH HIS NUMEROUS EVIL DEEDS AFTER THE WAR…………!!

18.
Toudou: Well, take this!! You have held faith and had magnificent fights!!
Toudou: And you should have what you desire!! I shall grant whatever all of you wish for as your prize.
Momotarou: Fu, we’ve received an undeserved honor……!! What we wish for is one thing!!

19.
Momotarou: THAT IS YOUR LIFE---!!
Toudou: You fool!!

20.
Momotarou: HUH!!

21.
Toramaru: M…Momo~~~!!
Togashi: Wh…what was that now---!! Momo’s sword was repelled and broke----!
Momotarou: ………!!
Toudou: Fufu, you fool!! You can’t lay a finger on me!!
Toudou: You should see this!! This device is called the Barrier Jacket System (B – J – S), which was developed by the American National Military Establishment as the bodyguard of important people. Its unique electromagnetic wave, which can’t be seen by the eyes, wrap me up within a meter radius and guards me as it repels even a bazooka shell!!
Momotarou: Ku!!

22.
Togashi: Th…that a**hole!!
Date: It seems he’s seen through our objective!!
Toudou: Fufu: I was surprised as well. How could it be that Edajima Heihachi was the sole survivor on Saman Island!!
Toudou: All of you shall be sent to Hell cordially!! There is no means to escape from just these machine guns at point-blank range!!

23.
Toudou: FIRE!!
Momotarou: Nuu!!
Toramaru: Mo…Momo~~!!
Momotarou: Huh!!

24.-25.
Manjimaru: We…We’re the Otokojuku Shitennou……!! Th…there isn’t a reason to lend out the deaths for what we Senpai care about for show……! Ki…kill him…………!! Wi…with our corpses as shields, ce…certainly ta…take that Toudou………!
(TN: “Kazefukasu” here sounds like “blowing wind”, but is actually “to lend death for someone they care about”)
Momotarou: SENPAI---!!

TN: It must really be hard to be a Third-Year around now. The Chinju Corridor trio are dead, Jaki just blew himself up...and now the Shitennou are being shot at by Toudou's private militia! Though...while I do mourn what is happening (even if I question Manjimaru being in charge of telling them to go forth when Eikei should be their leader), this and the next few chapters actually feel way different and more interesting due to...well, this is the first time in forever that real, actual character interaction outside fighting bad guys in a tournament is occurring! It just feels like the old part of the series instead of most of what we got in the Daibukai...nothing against the Daibukai but the fact that we have the characters acting like characters and not fighters in a tournament just feels better in some ways. Oh and...yeah, Toudou is just a sicko considering the whole thing was set-up so he could make Momo and the others try to attack him, making them fail and thus take them out. It is weird he took so long to find out that they were connected to Edajima...makes me think that he hasn't heard of Edajima in years, but now that he does know (and the Principal is on a one-way trip back again to Meiou Island)...heads are going to roll! (well hopefully the Shitennou survive long enough before that happens)
