Title: Fight 26 See Ya!!!

28

Crowd: Wh-wh's that middle-aged gentleman!!?
Crowd: He just yelled something about a hustler...!?

Natsumi: U-Uncle Tatsuhiko!!! You came to watch!?

Mika: Wh-who's that!? Isn't this off limits to outsiders!?
Asahina: W-wait, Mika!! He's...

29

Asahina: Kimura Tatsuhiko, a pro!! He's a former winner of the world championship...
Kimura: I'm honored that you recognize me, Asahina.
Kimura: I'm the uncle of Kimura Natsumi, a first year student.

Kimura: I apologize for intruding, but this man is an notorious hustler.
Kimura: He came to my shop 10 days ago, threatened me, and picked a fight with me.
Kimura: I couldn't just stand by and watch.

Asahina: A hustler!!?
Asahina: He didn't just come to switch out the felt...!?

Kimura: Gokijima!! What are you planning that required you to even lie about your identity!?
Gokijima: That's enough...

30

Gokijima: Let go of me!!!
Kimura: Gah!!
Mizuhara: Wah!!

Kimura: Ugh...
Mizuhara: Kimura!!

Crowd: Kyaaah!!
Mika: Calm down, everyone!!

Gokijima: Tch... I was just a step away from a bunch of money.
Gokijima: But since I've been found out, I've got no choice.

31

Gokijima: Yes, I'm the genius hustler, Gokijima-sama.
Gokijima: I'm also this cheatin' kid's coach!!

Mika: W...
Mika: Whaaaat!!?

32

Gokijima: Since he was a beginner and was stuck havin' to take on the word champ, he was willin' to do anythin' to win.
Gokijima: He bowed to me and begged with tears in his eyes!!

Crowd: Th-that fat guy's Shirasagi's coach?
Crowd: Come to think of it, he's been in Shirasagi's corner this whole time...

Mika: Ho ho...
Mika: Oh ho ho ho!!!
Mika: So that's what's going on, huh, Shirasagi Tomu!?

Asahina: A hustler!! Now I get it.
Asahina: It's just like a swindler to get the help of an underground pro!

Gokijima: Now that I've said that.
Gokijima: You should give up and confess too, kid.

33

Tomu: Heh heh heh...
Tomu: Ha ha ha ha.

Tomu: Oh?
Tomu: I have no idea what you're talking about.

34

Gokijima: H-hey!! Wait a second!!
Gokijima: Are you plannin' on continuin' on and hittin' 'em all in on your own!?
Tomu: It's true I met him at Kimura's shop.
Tomu: But I don't remember asking him to be my coach.

Gokijima: This is the 2 million you paid me to be your coach!!
Gokijima: Check it for his fingerprints or somethin'!

Kimura: Isn't that a lot of money for coaching someone?
Kimura: And did you really get it from him?
Gokijima: If I'm lyin' I'll swallow a porcupinefish!!

Kimura: Criminal Code Article 248 "Quasi Fraud"

35

Kimura: "A person who, by taking advantage of the insufficiency of consideration of a minor or the mental deficiency of another, causes another to deliver another's property,
Kimura: or obtains or causes a third person to obtain an illegal profit, shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 10 years."

Gokijima: Wait...10 years in jail!!?
Gokijima: You're jokin'!!

Kimura: I'll hold on to this as evidence!!
Kimura: Now you're going to be living in a cell!!
Gokijima: Ah!!

Mika: We need to capture him in order to prove that Shirasagi was cheating!!
Mika: Bodyguards!!!

36

Group: Don't move, fatty!! We've got our orders from Mika-san!!
Gokijima: Uh!!
Crowd: Capture him!!

Gokijima: Yeah, right!!
Gokijima: Like I'm gonna let a buncha kids get me!!

Guys: Ugh!!
Guys: Wah!!
Gokijima: Take that!!

37

Gokijima: Mh!!

Tomu: Wonderful job, Gokijima...
Tomu: but I'll be fighting alone from here on.

Gokijima: Keh!!! Do you really think you can win alone!!?
Gokijima: The best you can do is lose horribly!!!

38

Gokijima: See ya!!!

Tomu: Gh!!!

Mizuhara: Tomu!!!
Natsumi: Senpai!!!

39

Gokijima: Shit!! Not only don't I get the money for if he had won, but now the 2 million from before's gone.
Gokijima: Thanks to that damn kid, I've been workin' for free!!
Text above Gokijima: Haa haa

Gokijima: He just swindled me into bein' his coach...
Gokijima: And he's just a step away from beatin' the world champ...

Gokijima: I hate to say it, but you're a hell of a gambler...
Gokijima: Shirasagi Tomu!!!

40

Gokijima: Taxiii!

Driver: Is something wrong, sir? You're really out of breath...
Text around Gokijima: Haa haa *gasp *gasp*
Gokijima: Sh-shut up... Just get me outta here!!

Gokijima: Tch...That idiot Kimura might've called the cops.
Gokijima: I'm gonna have to stop hustling till the heat dies down...

Driver: Um...Where would you like to go?
Gokijima: Huh? Oh, right...

41

Gokijima: Oh, driver... Do you like billiards?
Driver: Oh, yes!! I've been driving people around here for a few years.

Driver: I'm still a novice...
Driver: but, at the billiards hall I take people to sometimes, there's a bunch of semi pros who take pride in their skill.
Driver: Just between you and me, I hear they play for money. And do so for quite a lot, too. Ha ha ha...

Gokijima: Oh...Playing for money, huh?

Text on the right: Hustler Gokijima
Gokijima: That sounds like fun.
Gokijima: Take me there.
Text on the left: He's a man who makes the best of a bad situation.

42

Mika: Silence!! Everyone please get back to your seats!!
Mika: The intruder has been driven out of the school.

Mika: You need not worry.

42

Mizuhara: Are you okay, Tomu!?
Tomu: Yeah...I'm fine.
Natsumi: There's blood coming from your arm, senpai!!

Asahina: That's the son of a swindler for you.

Asahina: You had even tricked me into thinking that your skill was real.
Asahina: What dirty tricks did you and that unseemly hustler use!?

43

Tomu: That's a false accusation...And since Gokijima ran, you couldn't prove anything even if it was true.
Tomu: And aren't I the one most inconvenienced by this interruption in play?

Asahina: Heh... Then I definitely want to see you continue.
Asahina: How you plan on "Running Out" without that hustler's help will be something worth seeing. Heh heh heh...

Mizuhara: Tomu...
Tomu: Don't worry.. I'll get the seven remaining balls in somehow...

44

Natsumi: Wh-what is it, senpai...!?
Tomu: ...It can't be.

Asahina: ...What!?

Asahina: Before, the 2-ball was almost perfectly lined up with the corner pocket...
Asahina: When did it get there!?

45

Asahina: I know!! It moved from the shock of Shirasagi being hit into the table by the hustler!
Asahina: Now it won't be so easy to hit it into the pocket!!

Asahina: Heh heh heh...!!
Asahina: Looks like you have some bad luck, gambler!!!
