And so everyone dies, the end.

That's the 8th wall climbed... The final peak is getting closer. 4 volumes left until I'm caught up with the published volumes...

[Kokou no Hito 82 Translation by Kewl0210]
Page 183:
Niimi: Ignoring the dizzying brightness,
Nighthawk flew like an arrow towards it.
Title: 82nd Climb Nighthawk

Page 184-185:
Niimi: But no matter how far he flew, he never got any closer to the sun.
Title: 82nd Climb Nighthawk
[So yeah, I'm just translating this myself and using that site as reference. Also it helps that I read the whole story so I know the context of these sentences.]

Page 186:
Niimi: But Nighthawk was not a brother nor kin of the true hawk.
"You still haven't changed your name?"
"You really have no shame."
I shouldn't have...
climbed mountains...

Page 187:
Niimi: Nighthawk had lost all hope,
and closing his wings, began to fall to the ground.
And just when those weak legs
were only 30 centimeters from the ground,

Page 188:
Niimi: Nighthawk suddenly
flew back up into the sky like a rocket.

Page 189:
And like when an eagle attacks a bear,
ぶるっとからだをゆすって毛をさかだてました。
Nighthawk suddenly swung his body and ruffled his feathers.

Page 190:
[So does he regret it or not?]

Page 191:
[Niimi Taku's last moments...]

Page 192:
Niimi: His voice
was just like a hawk's.

Page 193:
[And then snow.]

Page 194:
[And then more dreams about fences.]

Page 195:
[Soccer sucks.]

Page 196:
[You should've built fences, Niimi.]

Page 197:
Niimi: I...

Page 198:
いーれーて
Niimi: I want to go in...

Page 199:
[By the way, at the end of the poem the Nighthawk dies. Or turns into a starchild. I'm not sure really.]

Page 200:
[And so Niimi played soccer in the afterlife and was fine with that I guess.]

Page 201:
[And Mori made a scary face.]
Bottom: (8) Memento Mori (End)

Page 202-203:
[Reinhold Messner, the only man to climb all the 8000ers.]

Climbing Glossary
There are technical terms that appear in "Kokou no Hito". Here, the terms appearing in volume 8 are explained!!
Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range (P6) .....................(1)
The Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range. In the North Alps that continue from the Sea of Japan, a group of mountains extending the East side of Toyama Prefecture's Kurobe River. It contains mountains such as Mount Shirouma, Mount Goryuu, and Mount Kashimayari. Across the river is the Tateyama Mountain Range where mountains (such as Mount Tsurugi) face it. There are many climbers who call it by the abbreviation "Gotate". Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range's North extremity is the Niigata Prefecture's 0-meter above sea level cliff, and it falls into Oyashirazu. Along that mountain ridge is Toyama Prefecture and Niigata Prefecture's prefecture boundary, and it crosses Toyama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture's boundary as well.
Mount Eboshi (P23) .....................(2)
Located in the central region of the Northern Alps, a mountain possessing an obelisk (an oblong pillar shaped rock) shape at its peak. Elevation 2628m. There are many similar shaped mountains called "Eboshi-dake" and "Eboshi Yama" all over Japan.
TL Note: Yama. -San and -Dake are all suffixes that just mean "Mountain" and have no meaning in definition.
Bunatate Ridge (P46) .....................(3)
A ridge working as a mountain path from the Shinshu side (East side) Takase Dam to Mount Eboshi. With an elevation difference from the mountain entrance of over 1500m, counted as one of Japan's Three Great Steep Climbs.
Mount Noguchigorou (P68) .....................(4)
A mountain on the ridge traversal path between Mount Goryuu and Mount Harinoki.
Mount Harinoki (P71) .....................(5)
Extending into the Toyama Prefecture and the Nagano Prefecture, a mountain on the southern point of the Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range. Elevation 2821m. The Harinoki Great Snowy Valley one of Japan's Three Great Snowy Valleys.
Ougisawa Station (P72)
横断 立山黒部アルペンルートの長野県側の起点となる
The starting point station of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route which crosses the Northern Alps. A trolleybus that runs through tunnels, it is linked to the Kurobe dam.
Shinkoshi Ridge (P72)
A ridge going along the Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range ridge line starting from Ougisawa going towards Shikoshinokkoshi. It is generally not attached to mountain climbing.

Mount Funakubo~Mount Fudou (P111) .....................(8)
The mountains on the ridge traversal path between Mount Harinoki and Mount Eboshi. In this segment, the climbing and descending differences in altitudes are big, the slopes are also intense. In winter, important places where you can use stairs or chains in the summer are below the snow, continuing with the nerve wracking rising and descending.

Page 206:
Summer Path (P117) .....................(9)
A general climbing path. In winter, because the mountain is covered in snow, routes besides the climbing paths can be climbed, but because climbers are limited to these routes when there is no snow, they are talked about in this way.
Mount Tanigawa (P129) .....................(10)
On the border of the Gunma and Niigata Prefectures, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. The Peaks are called "Toma no Mimi" (Elevation 1977m) and "Oki no Mimi" (Elevation 1963m). The surrounding mountains in general are called the Tanigawa Mountain Range.
Takizawa Dome (P129)
A dome shaped rock wall on the upper part of Mount Tanigawa Ichi no Kura valley.
Knife Ridge (P129)
A ridge where both sides have a sheer rising slope like the shape of a knife blade.
Beacon (P157) .....................(11)
雪崩 遭遇 危険のある
For when mountain climbing on snowy mountains or mountain skiing, a small handheld mechanical tool that transmits and receives electronic wave signals for when there is danger of encountering an avalanche. When operating it is usually set to "transmit", when buried in an avalanche, the person searching "receives" the beacon and is able to find the source of the signal.
[Was it REAAAAAAALLY necessary to tell us the backstory EEEEEEEVERY goddamn mountain mentioned in the whole volume?]
