Saike Once Again 39

As we speak the first issue of season six is out in Japan. Not that any of us will get it now, so I'm not late. \o/

Also translation 1,150. It's taken a long time to get here, and no one is here to thank me or celebrate so I'll keep going...



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Side text- The new awareness time leap battle's 5th series! The hard fought battle reaches it's climax!!)
(Side text- Saike has at long last found out the conditions for the ability user who can seal away others; Sakagami, but does his worn body have enough strength to continue...?)
(Sfx- Garaahh clatter)
Kuroda: It appears you have awakened, Kuzushiro Saike...
(On paper- To Kuroda. Come to Naritayama Park at 2:30pm. --Kuzushiro Saike.)

002
(Side text- Hizu is Saike's right hand, and he's up against the sleeve manipulator Wang Chiu!! What will the result of this battle be...?)
(Side text- The manga that got 7th place in the “Up and coming Manga award” competition has four volumes out, and is receiving huuuuuuge rave reviews!!)
(Bottom text- Will “toughness” or “softness” reign supreme?!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
Take 39: Weakness.
FUKUCHI TSUBASA

003
(Sfx- Gan gan gakiii clang clang craaaash)
(Sfx- Gakiii clanng)
(Sfx- Dah dassh)
(Sfx- Gaaan thoom)
Chiu: Hiya hiya hiyaaaah!!
Hahahaha
What is wrong?
“I'll take the minimum amount of time needed to friggin' kill you.” Isn't that what you said?!
Yet all you are doing is running, yes?

004
Eiji: Damn.
Quit with all yer “yesing” long sleeved bastard.
(Sfx- Baaan thooom)
(Sfx- Gyuubaaah fwifff)
Chiu: You look hungry, have some metal plated sleeve to eat!
Eiji: Styrofoamfication...

005
Eiji: Of his sleeve!!!
(Sfx- Bogyaaah clip)
Chiu: Hahahaah! That is all you've got, huh?
If it is then...
(Sfx- Zushihh Sffft)

006
Chiu: What will you do about this?!
(Sfx- Zuuunn whooom)
Eiji: That's nothing!
I'll Styrofoam the drum...
(Sfx- Baahhh fwaaah)
(Sfx- Dogaaahh dhoooom)
Eiji: Guh..
Chiu: Hahahahaahah!!!

007
Chiu: You noticed in the nick of time, yes?
Not breaking these drums was the correct answer.
(Sfx- Zushiih Zushiiih sfwwft wffts)
Chiu: Inside of this is a combustible liquid!
If you had broken it you would have been covered in “gasoline”.
Add a little fire and it's off to the afterlife with you~
(Sfx- Dodododododdo tmtmtmtmtm)
(Sfx- Giiinn giiin clang clang)
Chiu: Hahahahaahah!!!
Saike: Listen up Hizu-kun.
Your opponent, Wang Chiu is a “sleeve user”.
Eiji: Sleeve user?

008
Saike: On my last go around, It was Ana who was fighting him,
But this time I think you should be the one to do it, Hizu-kun.
(Handwritten- Got it.)
Ana: Why!?
Is this your way of saying I'm not suited for fighting?!
Saike: It's a problem with your opponents.
It's because your ability and Wang Chiu's are a bad match that you lost, Ana.
(Handwritten- I-I lost?)
Saike: Conversely, your abilities would be much more effective against Igor and his other selves.
Hizu-kun's Styrofoam-ification abilities can render the sleeves mostly harmless.
(Handwritten- Since it’s easy for you to run even if you get caught.)
Saike: It’s the stuff that he sends flying that you need to worry about.
Eiji: Why? I could just Styrofoam that stuff and it’d be over with..
Saike: Even if inside the stuff he throws there’s coltar or kerosene?

009
Saike: You can’t turn people or liquids into Styrofoam.
The day after the Ana incident, I investigated your oracle.
Those are the weaknesses of your oracle.
(Text on person- Living thing.)
(Text on cup- Water)
(Sfx- Bubuu Bzzzzt)
Saike: That’s all you have to watch out for.
I know you can win, Hizu-kun!!
Eiji: It’s become the worst case scenario, Saike.
But I ain’t gonna lose.
{Because I have to see his last moments!!!}
Chiu: Hahahahahah!!
Here I come, yes!!

010
Chiu: Shiaaaah!!
(Sfx- Dogoooohhh thooooom)
Eiji: Damn!
(Sfx- Buuunnn fwooop)
Eiji: Ngh…

011
Chiu: Hahahaha!! That is a good look on you, monkey!!
Why not use your oracle to break it, yes?
Make a choice! Either be smashed to death or grilled!!
Either way, my ability has no “weakness”!!
Eiji: Weakness…?
Weakness…
Saike: Those are the weaknesses of your oracle.
But you know…
There are times where you can turn a weakness into an opportunity.
Eiji: Opportunity?
Saike: When people have spotted a weakness over their opponent they lower their guard.
If you can find that moment and act upon it you’ll see victory for sure.

012
{Turn a weakness…}
Eiji: Into an opportunity for victory….!!!
(Sfx- Zuzaaaahahh *sshhhhtttt*)
(Sfx- Dooonnn *thooom*)

013
Chiu: Huh?!
This guy is a fool.
He’s on a direct course for a drum can assault, yes?
No way, does he actually think he can run straight forward and jump to avoid these?
Shiiaaah!!!
If you think you can dodge them…
Then I would like to see you try, yes!!!

014
Eiji: I ain’t dodgin’ nothin’.
(Sfx- Dogoohhh *thooom*)

015
(Sfx- Bichaaahh *dsshhh*)
Chiu: N---No way…
He purposely got covered in gasoline?!
Th—that is it…
A light…
I have to light…
(Sfx- wata wata *wibble wibble*)
Eiji: ‘Sup?
(Sfx- Doooon *tupp*)
Eiji: Wouldn’t recommend lighting up here.
You do that and we’re gonna be a pair of fireballs together.
{D—Dammit! I didn’t think he’d actually break the can himself….}
{And I let him get too close!!}

016
Eiji: Styrofoam-fication to…
His clothes!!
(Sfx- Bogooohhh *riiip*)
Chiu: Ahh!!
Eiji: You can’t use sleeves you don’t have,
Yeah?
(Sfx- Bura bura *wiff wiff*)
Chiu: Waaah! S, Stooooo

017
Eiji: Hizu punch.

018
Chiu: Gubuuaaaaah!!!
N…
No way…
(Sfx- Gakuuhh *thud*)
Eiji: I won, Saike.
(Side text- Hizu gains the mark of victory!! Saike’s team goes wild next issue too!!)
