Title: Chapter 154 Invisible Enemy

Page 118-119:
American: Looks like we meet again
at a rather exciting location.
Soyo: So if you're sitting in front of me
that means you're...
Amer: YES.
Soyo: You're good, huh?
SFX: BARA
Amer: Yes.
Maybe.
Himu: If he were bad at shogi, he'd just be some American phoney.
Amer: Sheddep!

Page 120:
Himu: I'm counting on you,
Ace.
Amer: Yes, sir!
SFX: BACHIH
SFX: DAN
Amer: Onegaishimasu.
Soyo: You give the 'greeting' before you start playing.
Onegaishimasu.
SFX: BACHI DAN
Narration: The 3rd turn.
SFX: BACHIDAN
Narration: On just the 3rd turn

Page 121:
Narration: Including Soyo
all 5,000 people
froze.
The move he played, "7-5 Fu" was clearly a "Hayashida-Style" move...
but
in order to establish the "Hayashida-Style"
the opponent must also open up the path to their kaku.
Someone who uses the "Hayashida-Style" when his opponent has not opened up their kaku path

Page 122:
Narration: is a player that does not know much about shogi.
Guys: H... He's a total beginner, ain't he...!
Soyo: Soyo already started a superior expansion with
8-5 Fu
SFX: BACHIDAN
Narration: And against that
he defended.
SFX: BACHIDAN
Guys: HUUH?
So he's... going to defend there?!! ["there" in italics.]
Narration: That 7-7 Kaku

Page 123:
Narration: was a very passive move avoiding any confrontation that was directly counter
to the "7-5 Fu" that would have him a burst of momentum.
It was extremely
irregular.
The 5,000 people...
were unamused.
Soyo: So it looks like in the end...
it's just ending up as a regular ranging hisha game.
SFX: SUH
Narration: And
on the next move
once again
SFX: BACHIN

Page 124-125:
Narration: The 5,000 people
were stunned.
Narration: There
in just a few moves
they had created a formation
that the 5,000 shogi players
had never seen before.
Ukaku: You ever seen this before?
Suga: Dunno... It's a bit different from "Ishida-Style" or "Saishin-Style".
But, this is, ya know, probably
not a board that won't get over with easily.
Amer: What's wrong?

Page 126:
Soyo: From how it looks
I've never...
gone up against this strategy before...
Amer: Your hands stopped, haven't they?
Soyo: If we exchange kakus
it'll end up like this...
The opponent will be defenseless and covered with openings.
Just doing the kaku exchange should put me in a superior position...
and once I attack through one of those openings...

Page 127:
Soyo: I have 4 lines I can do down.
And they all look good.
Boards: 4-5 Kaku
5-4 Kaku
8-6 Fu
2-2 Kaku
Soyo: But this move 2 moves ahead...
the hisha and kei next to each other
reminds me of something...
...............
That's...
Amer: You sure are thinking a lot, aren't you?
Soyo: Okay.
The... true form
of this strategy

Page 128:
Soyo: is 'Oni Goroshi'.
T/N: Oni Goroshi = Demon Killer
Amer: .........
You really are......... a good player.
So you were able to figure that out from all this...?
You're the only one who's done it.
Narration: The 'Oni Goroshi Strategy' is a type of trick move that has existed from time immemorial.
As its name suggests, if you do not properly defend against it, it gains an explosive power that could even kill a demon.
The decisive move of this 'Oni Goroshi' is
this "kei" and "hisha" alignment.
However, for every trick move, there always exists a sure-fire defense.
The more selfish the attack, the more thoroughly you know the secret to unraveling it
the simpler it is to defend against.

Page 129:
Narration: "6-2 Kin".
One simple move.
This single move
makes the 'Oni Goroshi' end as a misfire.
Soyo: In this situation
"6-2 Kin" would work, too.
Or maybe...
in one of those 4 lines
we could attack each other...
Amer: I've one quite a bit with this strategy.
This strategy

Page 130-131:
Amer: is one Tanio-san taught me.
Soyo: Tani-
Amer: It's the "New Oni Goroshi".
Soyo: This is Tanio's...
strategy......?
Amer: You should be thinking about how to attack from among "4 lines".
And
you're going to defend with "6-2 Kin".
Soyo: He-
He read every one of my moves.
Amer: Go ahead, exchange the kakus and try any one you like.
Narration: Soyo

Page 132:
Narration: ran.
She used "3-2 Kin" to avoid the 'New Oni Goroshi'.
SFX: PACHI...
Narration: And
with experience
and ability
she brought the game into a war of attrition.
And on the 178th move of a fierce battle
Amer: I have lost...

Page 133:
Narration: She won.
Sign: Vanguard
Monji Unit
4th Win
Victory
Amer: You really are something.
It's a pity.
Narration: No one about those fearsome tactics...
Suga: 4 wins!!!!
Narration: used in the opening.

Page 134:
Narration: It was a victory no one doubted.
But
Soyo: I..
I......
ran
from Tanio.
