Title: Chapter 223
Cream Puff!!

Page 4-5:
Suzuki: Energy....
SFX: TOROO...
Suzuki: HAHM
Restored.
Mato: A cream puff, huh?
And...
What the hell...
is this...
1-4 Kaku?

Page 6:
Mato: Until he pulled that out...
I had an utterly winning board, my opponent was defenseless...
With just that one move...
With the addition of that 1-4 Kaku...
Narrr: Even the other
Shinkenshi
could not immediately grasp
this 1-4 Kaku...

Page 7:
Mato: What? What? Whaaat?
The more I read ahead,
this
kaku seems more and more troublesome!
No, I had a perfect attack going.
There's no way this one piece blew the whole thing.
All the pro players
simultaneously
started reading..
This move.
This...
This is...
This...
This move...
This is...
an incredible move!!!!
Mato: This damn 1-4 Kaku!

Page 8:
Suzuki: Ooyama-sensei's famous line...
'Even...
Mato: .............
Suzuki: 'Even...
Mato: 'Even'?....
Suzuki: 'Even...
Mato: 'Even....
..........
'Even if you think there's no saving it,
there is.'

Page 9:
Narr: The famous quote left behind by Ooyama Yasuharu, the 15th Meijin...
'Even if you think there's no saving it, there is.'
Is his most famous.
It means that even against a board that at first glance seems hopeless,
when you take a breath
and then look over
the board again...
then you'll mysteriously
find
a defense.
No matter how desperate the board, there's always a hole you can push through... And it only manifests itself if you're determined to never give up.
Just like life, as he put it.

Page 10-11:
Suzuki: With that cream puff
and that 1-4 Kaku,
I've turned this game around.
Mato: ...........
Club: 1-4 Kaku
Mato: No, there's no way!
SFX: BACHI
Suzuki: there is!
SFX: BACHIIH

Page 12:
Suzuki: With you already thinking you'd won,
your reading ahead fell apart.
And for you, anything beyond my 1-4 Kaku...
is invisible.
Mato: ......
I've got no time.
I had to use it all!
Suzuki: And I figured out what to do past my 1-4 Kaku during your time...

Page 13:
Suzuki: I've read
it all.
Mato: Hmph...
I've still got 3 minutes.
Before I take a bath and go to sleep tonight, I'll reflect on how... optimistic I was.
It may
be late,
but

Page 14:
I'll catch up to you!
I'll read until I've got just 1 minute left!!!

Page 15:
Mato: Okay!
Here goes!

Page 16-17:

Mato: I've got one of my favorites ready!
Take this!

Page 18:
Suga; UH!
Monji: UH!
Chi: UH!
Uka: Uheh.
Suzuki: I won't make the same mistake again.

Page 19:
Suzuki: This is what you call being rock-solid.
SFX: KUSHA
Mato: A-
Another one...?
SFX: BAGUH
SFX: BACHIH

Suzuki: I fully read
that move, too.
