Rival 15

Sub Character Shijimi Minakami
1. Ha!
2. This is ‘big’. (The pun here is that the character that she is standing in is the shape of 大, or big)

Profile: Minakami Shijimi (12 years)
Minakami Umi’s younger sister, right now she’s in 6th grade at elementary school. She is a naïve and lively little girl. She is not shy at all.
But because she’s a person who gets lonely very easily, so she treats Kuwata Heisuke like her real brother. You can tell by looking at all those bow-ties on her that she likes those girly accessories; although she looks like she’s filled with energy on the outside, this is actually due to her fear of being alone.

Pg.97
Round.15 Heisuke’s Revival!

Pg.98
1. He stood up! Kuwata is incredible!
2. Great – Now for a counterattack!
3. Such admirable willpower!
4. This isn’t willpower!
5. Then it must be… Ecchi power?
6. No, it’s not that either…
7. Then it’s an even more pure power…
8. I’ve never seen that kind of look in his eyes before!
9. That look in Heisuke’s eyes…
Pg.99
1. But it’s different from that rush where it was as if he had forgotten himself……
2. Of course, it’s different from those ecchi eyes he had at the start of the match.
3. Unless, this battle with Himeno has changed Heisuke in some way?
4. Start!
5. ......
Pg.100-101
1. Anyways, do your best, Heisuke!
2. If you can’t endure for the rest of this round, there will be no next round!
3. Haah……
4. Haah……
Pg.102
1. It looks like Himeno is still a little stronger, right?
2. But Kuwata still got back up!
3. But he’s still in a defending position!
4. He’s been hit again! He’s been hit again!
5. Himeno’s amazing! We definitely can enter the inter-highs!
6. Heisuke better not lose just like this!
Pg.103
1. Hah…
2. Hah…
3. You’ve nowhere to escape to, Kuwata!
4. For inboxers like you, speed and accuracy are everything…
5. You’ve lost your speed, you have no more weapons!
6. You are already dead, Kuwata! (omae wa mou shindeiru XD)
7. Himeno, there’s still 20 seconds left in the round, finish him off in one go!
8. This is your chance, Himeno!
Pg.104
1. I’m going to knock you down, Kuwata!
2. What?
Pg.105
1. Uwah!
2. How is this possible!
3. Someone who was just knocked down, countered?
4. Why?
Pg.106
1. Uu!
2. Dammit!
3. Is this guy immortal? [Tl: this sounds stupid, so alternatively, invincible?]
Pg.107
1. Wooo------- He’s counterattacking!
2. It’s still pretty hard to tell who’s going to win or lose!
3. Again!
4. He countered, again!
5. I thought Kuwata reached his limits a long time ago…
6. What’s going on?
7. Are Kuwata’s fists still alive?
8. Is he still alive?
Pg.108
1. Himeno, what’s wrong with you? Hurry up and hit back!
2. Hit his left side!
3. So…so strong!
4. I never thought he would be this strong after he recovered…
5. How much time left?
6. There’s…there’s still 10 seconds left!
7. Get around him! Get around him!
8. Get away from him!
9. Get out of there, Himeno!
10. Kuwata!
11. Seal him off! Seal him off!
Pg.109
1. Himeno!
2. Don’t lose to him!
3. Keep hitting him!
4. Make him retreat!
5. Hold on a little longer, Heisuke!
6. Time’s almost up!
7. STOP!
8. The second round is over!
9. ……
10. Hah……
11. Hah……Hah……
Pg.110
1. Right before the gong, you took some punches, why was that?
2. Is it because you were tiring?
3. That guy didn’t die.
4. Even though it’s unbelievable, but he actually came back to life after I knocked him down!
5. He revived after a down?
6. What are you talking about? How is that possible?
7. I don’t believe it either!
8. But no matter how I think about it, that’s the only possibility!
Pg.111
1. Even though you got knocked down, your counterattack afterwards was pretty good!
2. Keep counterattacking!
3. Are you listening? Heisuke!
4. !
5. Ah------------
6. Wah!
7. What’s wrong. Heisuke?
8. Hey, Umi, why am I here?
9. Huh?

I missed a few bubbles in the prev one...
Pg.111
1. Even though you got knocked down, your counterattack afterwards was pretty good!
2. Keep counterattacking!
3. Are you listening? Heisuke!
4. !
5. Ah------------
6. Wah!
7. What’s wrong. Heisuke?
8. What’s going on?
9. Hey, Umi,
10. Why am I here?
11. Huh?

Pg.112
1. What are you talking about? Right now, the second round has already ended!
2. Did the second round end already? Small text: (When…?)
3. Wait a sec, I just remember being knocked down, and then after I got up…eh?
4. What happened after?
5. ………..Heisuke…
6. Hmm~
7. He actually forgot about it?
8. That means, he was counterattacking unconsciously?
9. Ah, I remember now.
10. I…
11. Remember my dad’s special training?
Pg.113
[From here on, I wish to indicate that I do not support the child abuse that follows XD]
1. You dad’s special training?
2. Yeah!
3. Left of Heisuke’s head: I’m terrified just thinking back on those memories…
4. Wah—
5. Aah—
6. Go die!
7. Text in box: Heisuke (At the time aged 6)
8. Hah—
9. Hah—
10. So painful!
11. I’m so hungry. (This is the upper bubble of the frame)
12. I’m so tired… (The lower bubble)
13. I can’t move anymore.
14. Let me eat something, dad.
15. It’s been two days~
16. Ah!
17. It’s the smell of food!
Pg.114
1. Hey dad, where’s my food?
2. Where’s my food?
3. What?
4. You want to eat?
5. If you want to eat, the come over and eat, Heisuke.
6. It’s very tasty.
7. Eh?
8. Can I really?
9. Then…then I’m not holding back!
Pg.115
1. Bam! (Smashing sound, whatever.)
2. Uu…
3. Listen up, Heisuke! From today onwards, if you want to eat, you have to fight for it as well.
4. If you really want to eat, then come!
5. Do you understand?
6. Uu…
Pg.116
1. What’s wrong, Heisuke?
2. You don’t want to eat?
3. Look!
4. Yes, that’s right, come and knock me down!
5. Dammit…
6. You lied to me…
7. Lied to you? Don’t say it like that. (Text between bubbles: Look!)
8. Son of a bitch ------
Pg.117
1. Uu—
2. You can’t it that easily!
3. Dammit!
4. Look carefull—
5. It’s escaping over here!
6. Ah!
7. Didn’t you say you couldn’t move your body anymore?
8. As long as people are forced to their limits, they can produce unimaginable power.
9. Uuu… Uuu…
10. To overcome you’re frailty at being hit, then you need that kind of power.
11. The power to keep advancing even if you are being hit!
12. I don’t want to hear any of that…
13. I’m begging you…
14. Gimme
15. Give it to me…
Pg.118
1. Stop blabbering! If you want to win, then this is the kind of training you need!
2. Every action we do is important special training!
3. Unless you think this is stupid?
4. That’s right!
5. I’m just hungry.
6. Give me food to eat…
7. Listen well, Heisuke. When you can’t use your feet, you can only plant them and fight.
8. But at that time, you will need a strong and powerful combination punch.
9. Then how do you throw those combination punches?
10. Making you remember with your body is the best way.
11. All the body has to do is to repeat the same action over and over, and it will remember.
Pg.119
1. This way, even if you don’t realise, the body will react on its own.
2. This is the so-called reflexive movement.
3. Just like how you will drool when you see food;
4. Just like how you are right now…
5. How are you going to eat with your gloves one?
6. I’ve said it before,
7. If you want to eat, you’ll have to fight for it.
8. Wah—
9. Aahh


Pg.120
1. What reflexive movement? That heartless bastartd.
2. Why did I remember this now?
Panels 3/4 – Sfx: Haah—Haah—Haah—Haah—2 for each panel.
3. There’s only the final round left!
4. Whether you win or you lose, it all ends in this round.
5. Himeno really is very strong,
6. So he’ll probably have more points than you.
7. You look like you’re already exhausted…
Pg.121
1. Honestly, in the second round I already thought you were a goner,
2. Which is why I borrowed a towel from the captain, and was about to throw it…
3. But I still didn’t throw the towel and instead let you survive to the final round.
4. Right now…I won’t throw in the towel.
5. At the end of it all, you will definitely be the winner!
6. I believe in you.
7. ……
Pg.122
1. Seconds out!
2. It’s the final round!
3. You guys have to fight properly!
4. KO him, Himeno!
5. Fight back, Kuwata!
Pg.123
1. Uwah!
Pg.124
1. This punch was definitely effective!
2. No matter how tough Kuwata is he can’t stand this anymore……
Pg.125
1. Here it is again!
2. Uwah!
Pg.126
1. Wow, he hit back again!
2. He’s revived!
3. Hey, what’s going on?
4. He was clearly hit…
5. Just like this, Heisuke!
6. Knock him down!
7. Uu!
8. Uu!
9. Huh? When…
10. Did Heisuke start to plant his feet and fight……
11. I always thought that Heisuke was a typical out-boxer…
12. Does that guy have weapons other than his feet?
Pg.127
1. Very good, just like this!
2. Tighten up your chest area, and never make any large movements!
3. Take this chance and make your body memorise these actions!
4. Look closely at how your hands are moving!
5. In the boxing ring, the final action that needs your whole body is a reflective action!
6. Reflective action my ass, give me my food ------
TL: I think he’s talking about a parry…

Anyways, the Author hates me. Also, because this was in Chinese, it took a load of research to find out what the hell the author was even going on about, because I know very little Japanese trivia. And I almost died from the crappy Romanisation…

LHS of page:

A variety of “Riddles”

Among my assistants, one of them is a fan of Chibi Maruko-chan, and the other is a supporter of Chuunichi’s Ochiai, and they’re always arguing all day long. Every time A sees the published viewership ratings for Chibi Maruko-chan he would be happy or worried for it; Every time B sees Ochiai knock the ball out he would throw a victory pose, celebrating continuously. But inside my studio, they each seem to look down on the other’s idol. Whether it’s Chibi Maruko-chan, or Ochiai, they are both fortunate people who have a large amount of fans, as for me, it’s because I look up to too many people that I don’t idolise anyone specifically. Actors that I like include: Billy Joel, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas, Jane Hagemann (?), Peter Falk, Ootaki Shuuji; and a sports player: (????Xiu – Jia Li) Leonard, they’re all great!

Top: We can’t (discuss) at all…
Left Guy: Chibi Maruko-Chan! Chibi Maruko-Chan!
Middle Guy: Ochiai Ochiai Ochiai Ochiai
Right Guy: [I can’t see, and I’ve given up. They’re just names. ~This page took 2 hours, the rest of the chapter took less~][Maybe someone with HQ Jap raws can do this.]

Pg.131
1. He’s so fast, Kuwata can’t get close at all!
2. This way, Himeno’s going to win 100%, right, coach?
3. No, it’s hard to say…

2. Kuwata is pounding away continuously with body blows!
3. That’s it!
4. Heisuke said, that his father gave him special training!

Pg.137
1. Before his brain can even think, his body will punch out first…
