N: Sure looks like they're getting excited over there...
B: Yeah, sounds cheery awright...
T: Now, now, no need to get worried.
B(2b): Thanks to your work, it looks like things will turn out just fine...we're very thankful...
B: Damn well better!! Don't expect us ta go chasin' him down again after what he did ta us!!
N: My chin still hurts!

172)
T: I never thought he'd be able to recover from getting hit with a metal pipe...
T: To think Izawa could take you two...he really is something!
B: Are you braindead or somethin'?! The one who told us not ta do him was you, numbnuts!!
N: We can go take him out right now if you'd like!
T: I know...I know!
N: He caught us off guard!! Izawa ain't got shit on us!!!
T: Just think of this as the end! You both did well!!
T: I didn't mean anything rude by what I said, you know...!!?
N: H...huh...?
T: Th...at's...
B: What now?
N: Who...is that guy?

N: What the?
T: The Thug Hunter....Ka...Kamishiro!!!
B: Whaaaat?!
T: That's THE Thug Hunter?! I always wanted to give it a go with that guy!
T(2b): D-don't let him inside!! S-stop him at once!!!
B: Sounds fun!

174)
N: We'll be expecting a separate payment for this!
T: Fine, anything!! Just DO NOT LET HIM IN!!!
B: We ain't gonna go easy on him dis time, either!
N: Hey, it looks like he's got bandies* wrapped on his hands!! He's ready to rock'n'roll!
B: His eyes look like he knows wassup, too...just like da rumors! (got da body of a pipsqueak, though....)
B: He's gonna come at us fo' real!!!
*Bandages
Y: Why are these people...standing in the road? It's like they're waiting to ambush someone...
Y: I...came to see Izawa-san...could you let me by?

175)
B: Hey, dat ain't very nice, man...play wit' us too!
N: Yeah, that's right, let's be friends here...
Y: They both have solid bodies...and it looks like they can fight.
Y: If I get surrounded--
B: Orahhhh!!!
sfx: ah
N: Rahhh!

176)
N: Ahhh!!
N: Wha...t..?!

177)
N(2b): Oh...? Oh...!!
Y: My fist hit first?!
Y: Even though I sent it out afterwards...?!!
B: Uu
B: Uooohhhh

178)
Y: Ah...it's happening again...
N: Guh!
Y: My hips are sending--
Y: tons of force into my upper body!!!
N(3b): aaagghhhh!!

179)
Y: Step in sharply
Y: and stop!!
Y: There
Y: again...
Y: my fist--
Y: is running!!!

180)
N: Uooohhhhh!!
Y: my legs--
Y: are running!!!

181)
Y: What is this?
Y: My legs and arms are extending...
Y: My fists and feet...
Y: are so light...
Y: What is this...feeling?
S: These aren't amateur punches that rely only on armpower.
S: To strikers everything relies on--
Y: That's it.

182)
S: This is sharpness!!!!
S: This is what it means to be sharp!!!
S(2b): I get it...I get it. Yes!
S: I get it, Shuugo-kun!!!
N: Yuu, who has started to experience a certain feeling...just what is happening within?

183)
1: There is said to be three steps when humans get stronger.
2: The first one is increasing weight, the second is learning technique. As long as someone starts training in a certain martial arts style, these two are easily accomplished.
3: What is it, then, that sets the difference between people who have the same weight and learn the same techniques?!
4: That is the third step--"understanding the theory behind techniques and understanding them, then feeling them out and utilizing them!!!"
5: For example, when throwing a straight, you twist your hips and send force up to your arms.
6: Anyone who does boxing easily understands this.

184)
1: However, there are surprisingly few people who can actually "increase the force transferred from the lower body while spinning and then punch!"
2(2b): Fighters have a bad habit of only spinning from the arms. This is where a large gap is created.
*: It's a problem of sense, and difficult to teach.
3: Clearing this third step is incredibly* tough!! This is what separates first-rate technique from second-rate technique!
4: But now, Yuu is on the verge of grasping that sensation.

185)
B: Sunuva...bitch!
N(2b): Y-you..!
Y: These two are...incredibly tough...
Y: But.
Y: You should stop.
B: Sh...ut the fuck up, bitch!
Y: I'm sure of it...the speed of my attacks
Y: are faster than any of their movements!

186)
Y: It's the first time...
Y: I've ever felt this.
Y: That I can go in
Y: from any angle at all!
B: Ohhhhhhh

188)
B: Hiiieeeee...
B: M-my shin...w-went out...
B: Heell...
B: Brooooo!!
B: Ahhh!!
N: Ahhh, bro...
B: Guahhh...
N: Y...youuuuuu!!
Y: hah x3
T: N...no way...!!
T: I can't believe this!!
T: He's this powerful!!? T-there's no way!!!
T: Something....s-something has to be...wrong here!!!

189)
T: Hiiee!
T: Guide me inside!!
T: To where Izawa-san is!!!
