HUNTER X HUNTER #272

tl by molokidan

01)
Black text: Knuckle suffers!!
H: Time's up.
H: The interest will now be added.
K: Wha...
K: It's only been ten seconds!?
K: Only that!? No way!
K: Even after all the unbearable, choking pain so far...
K: How much longer must I withstand this!?

02-3)
Right side: You've gotta be kidding me!!?
No. 272 : Miscalculation
Left side: This is ridiculous...!!!

04)
K: AS IF I COULD STAND THIS!!!!

05)
sfx: pon pon
Box: What stopped Knuckle's violent dash
B: Was Meleoron's first tap.

06)
K: Are you serious? There's only 10 seconds left?
K: But...could that just have saved me?!
B: This of course had nothing to do with Knuckle's thoughts,
B: but because Meleoron was also at his limit.

07)
K: Dammit....!!
K: Even though his claw just barely touched me...
P: Whoopsie!
K: It dealt enough damage to null the interest and halve my power as well...!!
B: Yupi failed to notice the fact that he had grazed something, nor Potclean's proclamation of interest,
K: Shoot's fighting with his life on the line...
K: and yet I, completely unscathed, just made an idiotic mistake!!
B: nor Knuckle's howl.
K: SHIIIIIIIT!!
K: Calm down, you fool!!
K: Or everything will be ruined!

08)
K: I suppose this is the best range I can get.
K: It's not close enough to be seen, but it isn't too far that I can't get close to him!!
K: As long as Shoot is doing his best...
K: He shouldn't have any way of noticing Potclean for an instant!!
K: Take a breather with all your might, Meleoron!!
M: God's Accomplice -
M: Rescinded!!

09)
Y: What the hell is that!?
Y: When did it...no.
Y: There's no way I couldn't have noticed it!!
Y: It just appeared all of a sudden!!
Y: Was I attacked!? No, there's no way...!!
Y(2b): Is it a delayed effect...but then that means it's from back then...!! Or could I have somehow fulfilled the conditions to make it spawn during battle!?
Y: What are these numbers!? A countdown!? A bomb!?
Y: No, the numbers aren't rising or falling!
Y: What a pain in the ass!!

10)
Y: It just means I have to get rid of the source, right!?!
sfx bubbles: buh x7
S: Something's coming!!
S: From far away!!!
B: One reason
B: as to why, Yupi, despite the pride he had in his own overwhelming power, could not hit Shoot,
B: could be explained as a difference in true ability.

11)
S: Fast!!
S: I can't get away in time...!!!
Y: One skewered piece meat...
Y: comin' right up!!!

12)
sfx: gun

13)
sfx: tch
Y: He hit himself to speed around to the rear.
Y: Whatever.
B: The response "I always win"
B: was a drawback to the plan-less Yupi, who was not the type to polish up his own battle strategy.
S: That was close!
B: Yupi's readings were more or less correct.
B: Eventually, he would come out on top -- that was indeed true.
B: But if there was any miscalculation,
B: It was the fact that Shoot thought "that's fine," and Yupi did not notice.

14-15)
S: I can still fight!!
S: I...
B: And yet quietly, certainly,
S: I can still fly...!!!!
SL Still...
B: Shoot's limit crept up on him.

16-17)
K: YUPIIIIIIII, DAMMMMIIIITTT!!!
K: I'M OVER HEEEERE, YOU DUMBAAAAAAASSSSSS!!

18)
K: The conclusion that the cooled-down Knuckle had come to,
M: Knuckle...
K: was to reveal himself.
K: Purposefully reveal to the enemy that he has another opponent!?
K: Excellent!!!

19)
K(2b): This is the only way to distract Yupi's concentration, and save Shoot!!!!
K: C'MOOOOOOOOONNN!!!
Y: ...I see.
Y: So you're the one over here.
Y: Knuckle was more or less correct.
Y: But if there was a miscalculation...
Black text: Carelessness!!!

Next Issue: Knuckle and Yupi...!! And what's waiting ahead for Gon!?
