Fukumoto: No way...
Now he's using high steps to earn range!!!

Page 182:
Manager: He...
He's right, again...
Doing that difficult move sequence without any hesitation...
It looks completely like he's rehersed this a hundred times, doesn't it!!?
Oonishi: R... Rehearsed!?
M-Manager, might that wall possibly be based on "Takatori Mountain" or...
Manager: How do you...!?
I see, it's like I thought...!
Oonishi: He's done image climbing of "Takatori" over and over in his head...
The entire correct process has been etched into his skull!!!

Page 183:
Oonishi: I'll bet what's in front of his eyes right now...
looks just like Takatori rock to him!!!
Mori: ---Grab this protrusion
shove my leg into this hole--!!!
Absolutely everything is just how I thought...
SFX: Suuuuuu...

Page 184-185:

Page 186:
Mori: I know...
If it's you, I understand everything--

Page 187:
SFX: WAAAAA
Fukumoto: Amazing, he's just keeps climbing!!
Mako: Oh man, Yumi, Mori-kun's totally awesome!!!
Manager: Oonishi-sensei... I've been climbing Takatori for 40 years.
あそこは昔 石切場だったところで
That mountain, a long time ago, was a stone quarry,
垂直に切り立った岩は岩登りをする格好の場所だったんだ
and because of the vertically rising rock made, it made for a good place to rock climb.
あの あばたのような無数に空いた穴は長年にわたってハーケンを打ち込んできた跡...
Those pockmark-like many open holes are the traces of long years of being driven with pitons.
That rock's a special rock, one dyed with blood and sweat from the time of climbing's creation in Japan---

Page 188:
Manager: That an amazing kid like this was born from Takatori...
I'm sure the predecessor climbers would be glad, too...
Miyamoto: It's been so long...
SFX: WAAAA
SFX: TAH TAH TAH TAH
The cheers aren't stopping...

Mori: I can get there...
SFX: HAH HAH
Mori: A little more...
Just a little more to the peak.
SFX: HAH
Mori: I'll grab the peak with this hand...

Mori: Why is this...?
The rope's heavy...!?
Girl: Huh? Mori-kun suddenly stopped!?
Is he okay...!?
SFX: WAAA

Page 192:
Fukumoto: Aaa, I knew this would happen...
Zooming all the way up there like that, his arms've totally run out of oxygen.
力んで上げっぱなしだと腕に血が回んなくなって力が入んねーんだよな
Exerting his strength so much going up, blood's not getting around his arms and there's no energy getting into them.
With it having gotten like that, it's the end...
All that's left is for him to fall.
Mori: Ku..
Kuku...
Mori: ......!!!
SFX: Guh Gugu
Mori: Goddammit...
And it was just a little more...

Mori: So in the end,
you're pushing me away, too...!!?

Person: If it---...
If it only weren't for you...
