1:
1 A kick? You're saying he got in a kick?

2:
1 Dude, yes! How many times I gotta say it? (I told you already!)

3:
1 Really...

[168
1:
1 That's an interesting story... I'd like you to tell me more
2 U... uhm (my bad?)

2:
1 So like... the second after he took a punch, BABAM, right to the head outta nowhere!
2 (Hate to admit it, but...) I wasn't getting up for a damn sight.

[169
1:
1 No way--! (eee)
2 A high kick!!
3 ... and what's more, you finished him off in one blow...

2:
1 So I guess the Thug Hunter boxer's the Thug Hunter kickboxer now!
sfx Wooot

3:
1 I dunno if it's kicks or whatever but it's not just me
2 Like Tsuchiya and stuff...
3 Tsuchiya!!!

4:
1 Yeah, that's right (you're always so loud)
2 That guy got knocked out after one kick too

5:
1 It would seem...

[170
1:
1 ... you've gotten the hang of it quickly, haven't you...
2 How come he's so fast? It's not something you can do that easy, right?

2:
1 Of course, it's not ordinary... a kick is a high-risk move

3:
1 If your kicking leg is caught you can be pushed over
2 Worse, if you're made to whiff, you can be caught from behind

4:
1 Going so far as risking danger
2 Why are you trying to learn new moves? .... Why?

5:
1 What's with you? Isn'e he one of you guys? The Thug Hunter...
2 I am absolutely--

[171
1:
1 NOT with him!!

2:
1 Don't put us in the same boat with Kamishiro!
2 There's no connection at all between us and what he's doing
3 Y... Yousuke...

3:
1 Geez, I get it! (don't have to get so pissed all of a sudden)
2 We're going.
3 Yeah...

4:
1 Masaki...
2 What's up, Yousuke? Take a seat

5:
1! I told you this already, I won't go along with you if you stick your head in any further
2 Us or Kamishiro, you choose!

[172
1:
1 What are you saying, calm down! (Yousuke...)
2 I can't calm down!!!

2:
1 He's even going after the pushers that were with the Sawa High guys
2 If he messes up the fronts and gets noticed, the Yakuza will step in!!
* Kids selling 'medicine' to their friends... are basically all connected to this

3:
1 Tha...t's, then, I'm sorry too, Masaki~~
2 We're way out of our ballpark here!
3 I don't give a fuck who's stronger than who!!

4:
1 It's way more fun picking up hos
2 Let's put and end to this, Masaki! Okay!?
3 ........

5:
1 I understand.
2 Masaki!
sfx su-- {standing up motion}

[173
1:
1 If it looks like there's gonna be trouble... I'm... I'm out.
2 My bad.

2:
1 Ma... Masaki...
2 It's fine, let him go

3:
1 He's not a kid...
2 You can't keep up the strength contest forever

4:
1 I'm sure even Masaki understands that much

5:
1 So hos are way better... I see...

[174
1:
1 "I don't give a shit who's stronger"...
2 That's right... that's exactly right.
3 Now I get it.

2:
1 Now I get why Kamishiro is trying to learn new moves

3:
1 Only 'our' kind of people would go out of their way to do that
2 Those who are curious about their own abilities

4:
1 How far can you change?
2 It's begun, hasn't it, Kamishiro

[175
1:
1 We're the same now, you and I
2 We're the same race

2:
1 After a certain age, even men lose interest in who is stronger and weaker. It's inevitable while violence is a crime.
2 However, there are those who cannot change that value system

[176
1:
1 They are the ones who cannot ignore their own _weakness_
2 To Masaki his pride, which will not forgive his own weakness
3 To Yuu, his wish to become stronger from his past as a weakling
4 This value on "strength" was putting down deep roots

[177
1:
1 You might laugh it off as a simple complex, but to Yuu...
2 It was his prayer to become stronger. One might call it a religion
3 That was what was sustaining his uncanny daily study

2:
1 Masaki was now separated from his gang, but he did not feel solitude
2 He was wrapped in a strange satisfaction, as though he had found a member of the family

[178
1:
1 Alright! Alright already!
2 You don't give up either, do you
3 I just have to say it, right? I'll tell you!

2:
1 Boss Katou is in a stockroom in the XX Building in Karasuyama {censored!}
2 He's always there with 5 or 6 guys getting high

3:
1 Go ahead and go if you want, you'll just get thrashed like all the rest
2 Like Shougo thinking he could bust on up there by himself...

[179
1:
1 !!?
2 You said he did what!?

2:
1 What now? You don't know? And I thought he was your mate!
2 I said he came in alone so we messed him up

3:
1 What? What did you do!!?
2 A... fuck, ow!!
3 A bout, a bout!

4:
1 Its not like we all beat him up from the beginning, I said they had a bout!!
2 But after that I dunno-- (guess they all roughed him up? that's what happens...)

[180
1:
1 Your going around and raging wherever you like is over now, you don't have any friends left!!
2 Wh... Sh... Shougo was
3 Even Shougo.... wa...s...
4 Even if you don't go, you'll get fucked either way

2:
1 No matter how hard you try you can't beat Katou! It was an easy win against Shougo
2 In the end you'll be running around crying "waah waah" just like him!!

4:
1 I can see it now-- (BAF)

5:
1 So Shougo went after Katou because of Shin too
2 By himself.....
* He got put to sleep again

[181
1:
1 But...
2 But I...
3 Why... did it come to this...
4 No!! Kamishiro, listen to--
sfx pip

2:
1 No, Kamishiro
2 Kamishiro--

3:
sfx grip

4:
1 Stupid!! I'm...
2 So stupid!!
sfx GAN GAN

[182
1:
1 First Shin...
2 And now Shougo--

[183
2:
1 I'm pretty sure...
2 Somewhere around here...

5:
1 There... (It really is a restaurant...)
s Japanese Restaurant | Midorikawa

[184
1:
1 ~~~~~~

2:
sfx gulp

3:
1 Actually I give up
2 It's too late for me to...

4:
1 Shut the hell up!! I'm going, alright? I'm going!!
sfx GATAGATAGAT {sound of rolly japanese door sliding open}

5:
1 That's right!! If you aren't going to school at least help out around here!! Don't think you can freeload off your mother just because you're injured!!
2 I ain't freeloadin'!
b Mother Shouko Midorikawa (37)

1:
1 You just eat food and don't do any work, what would you call... oh!

2:
1 Hm?

3:
1 S... sor...ry, I
2 D-didn't mean... to...

4:
1 Oh, a friend of yours? Well just take your time with the shopping...
2 Counting on you, ok?
sfx hohoho!
sfx GATAGATAG

5:
1 ...u uhm, are you....
2 ...alright?
3 .........

6:
1 I guess you're not alright, huh....
2 Sor...ry...

[186
4:
1 You're... really into it, aren't you
2 Huh!?
3 Don't fuck around, you can admit it now, yeah?

5:
1 You didn't get those on Shin's behalf...
2 You wanted to test yourself, you're _one of us_ now
