Eyeshield 21 322

Due to a big fatigue and a global disappointment in this chapter, I've been unmotivated while translating it, so I can't guarantee the quality of the translation is on par with the usual ones (I haven't even bothered proofreading it). I haven't been that disappointed by an ES21 chapter in quite some time... -_-

Eyeshield 21 chapter 322

Page 01

322nd Down : Sena VS Panther

Mamori : Sena!!
Ikkyuu : It's oni coming!
Ikkyuu : The exploding run!!
Text : Faster...!!

Mizumachi : With that, Sena will definitely score points for the MVP!
Mizumachi : Give him 100 points, judges!!
Suzuna : Are you alright with giving him such a lead?
Mizumachi : Ah, no, wait, give them to me instead, judges!

Sena : We can't go through the American all-star if I'm just running alone.
Sena : But if everyone
Sena : become my shields...

Page 02

Sena : My
Sena : shields...

Page 03

Yukimitsu : Alright!
Yukimitsu : The strongest shields of the Japanese all-star!!

Sena : W-w-way
Sena : way too reliable...!!

Chuubou : What's with those awesome shields!
Chuubou : To think someone like me is in there too
Chuubou : Damn, it's scary, I'm getting nervous...!

Chuubou : D... Delta Dynamite!!

Chuubou : Gyaa!
Chuubou : I rushed too much and messed up the timing!

Chuubou : Hogyaaa!!
TogaKuro : If he messes up the timing just a little bit, he's so weak...

Yamato : It's alright, Chuubou!
Yamato : Don't mind even if you're taken down!
Yamato : Our roles as shield is to be sacrifices
Yamato : So that we can stop the opponent even for an instant!!

Page 04

Someone : As long as the one carrying the ball
Someone : the General Sena
Someone : can advance
Someone : even one millimeter forward...!!

Someone : He's going through!
Someone : Sena
Someone : went through!!

Shin : He can go!
Shin : to the red zone... No, even to the goal line
Shin : As long
Shin : as he defeats this guy...!

Sena : That's right
Sena : of course
Sena : the last one...

Page 05

Narration : Is it fate or just a mere coincidence
Narration : that led them to this single duel.

Narration : The battle between those two
Narration : for the title of the world's number one runner,
Narration : The decisive battle between the strongest of Japan and America.

Narration : Everyone understood,
Narration : fell silent,
Narration : and watched holding their breath

Narration : As the two warriors crossed their spears
Narration : in that instant...

Panther : We'll settle everything from one year ago
Panther : right now.

Panther : Let's fight
Panther : Sena...!!!

Page 08

Sena : I'll strike
Sena : Panther-kun down
Sena : With all the run techniques I've learned in the year since I've begun
Sena : playing American football...!

Kakei : He's accelerating again!!
Riku : Here it comes!
Riku : Panther's...

Sena : 40yards dash 4.1 seconds
Sena : Surpassing the speed of light...!!

Shin : Panther and Kobayakawa Sena
Shin : Will cross paths just an instant.
Shin : but in that time that will last just the blink of an eye
Shin : How many offensive and defensive moves will they play...

Page 09

Panther : … Sena
Panther : is this close and still hasn't decelerated at all .
Panther : It can't be...

Clifford : Seeing he can't win against Panther with speed,
Clifford : he's bringing it down to a power contest...!?

Someone : Wooh, none of them are wielding and stopping at all!
Someone : Damn, at this rate
Someone : If they collide head-on
Someone : at the speed of light
Someone : Both of them could end up injured...

Page 10

Riku : A backstep just before he collided with Panther.
Riku : The Devil 4th Dimension!

Panther : I've already seen that technique once.
Panther : And I should be just a little bit faster
Panther : Than Sena is running away...!

Sena : That's right... Since I'm losing in speed
Sena : He'll chase after me directly extending his arm.
Sena : That's how I lure him in.

Sena : Since I'm running back at the speed of light too
Sena : The relative speed of his arm is close to 0.
Sena : I can aim at him easily...!!

Page 11

Agon : He got used to battles.
Agon : He repelled him with a chop of the hand.

Yamato : now dodge him!

Panther : He seemed to go to the right after the chop
Panther : But with that step, he's going to the opposite side...

Apollo : The center of gravity of the body is around the navel.
Apollo : You can't make it move even with feints.
Apollo : If you want to know where a runner is really going to,
Apollo : Chase his navel...!

Panther : I can see it
Panther : Sena...!

Panther : And that
Panther : spin too...!

Nothing

Page 13

Panther : Wha...!!

Clifford : He's pushing down Panther
Clifford : By his helmet...

Hiruma : He won...!

Panther : Sena...
Panther : To think at the time of the Deimon-NASA match
Panther : you weren't using your arms at all...

Taka : With this it's alright.
Taka : Even Yamato
Taka : During that little exchange,
Taka : Managed to come as reinforcement.

Yamato : Sena-kun.
Yamato : There's only
Yamato : crossing the goal line left...!!

Page 14-15 (spread)

Someone : With the smallest cuts possible on the shortest course possible,
Someone : It's Panther's
Someone : Weightless Run...

Page 16

Sena : Kah...
Sena : Damn
Sena : Right from the back...

Shin : Kobayakawa Sena was
Shin : The fastest man on the field.

Shin : For the first time since he was born
Shin : Someone caught up with him from behind.
Shin : It's the first time
Shin : He's tackled from the back.
(Xophien's random note : Go reread chapters 217-218, my dear Shin “I have no memory” Seijuurou >.>)

Announcer : Ball for
Announcer : America!!

Panther : Nishishishi! As expected
Panther : It was a close one!
Panther : But still, the first round

Panther : is my win
Panther : Sena...!!

Don : The number of hands he's played in such a short time...
Don : I wonder how many persons in this stadium could see them...
Panther (small text) : See? Sena is awesome, see?
Don : Impressive raw material
Don : That Kobayakawa Sena.

Page 19

Don : but in the end, everything was trampled down
Don : By the absolute difference in ability.
Don : Those physical limits
Don : It's so sad...

Shin : It's the same wall that anyone who has faced
Shin : Kobayakawa Sena so far have run into.
Shin : In the end
Shin : Sena has no other choice but challenging it himself.

Sena : No matter what kind of feint,
Sena : No matter what kind of hand or leg technique I use,
Sena : No matter how I pass him,

Sena : He'll definitely chase from behind.
Sena : Together with a cruel reality
Sena : The difference of speed.

Sena : It could be
Sena : that I definitely can't win
Sena : Against Panther-kun...
Text : An even bigger “speed” standing on his way...! Is it the end for the man who was loved by this very same “speed”...!?
