1: That was some pretty serious shit...damn!
2: Yeah! That Thug Hunter is really amazing!!
3: Taka really went wild, too. He took out Izawa, after all...
4: B...but
5(2b): Now what are we gonna do...? Take him 'out?'
6: Ehh?! Really...?
7: Seriously though, he's fucking insane!! Absolutely insane!!
8: Yeah...don't see people like them too often. They're on a completely different level!!

72)
1(2b): Seems like they've stopped trying to figure out how to lynch you guys. Probably better if you leave now.
2: I wonder if things will go that easily...
3: Yuuuuuuu!!
4: Shin-cha...Shougo-kun!!!
5: Why did you come?!
6: Why...? Because it looked...fun?
7: What?!
8: You're such an idiot...(haven't you learned anything?)
9: Finally, all of you right where I want you...sure took a hell of a long time for this to happen!

73)
1: Playing by your rules ends here...and from this point on,
2: I'm gonna show you the main event using my own!
3: W-wait!
4: You never told me...about this...
5: Taka! You better be prepared to pay up for what you broke.
6: Right after this.
7: Yoshii...you bastaaaard!
8: Sorry to make you wait so long, everyone! Go all out, to your hearts' content!
9: Let's show them why people are really frightened of us.

74)
1: W-what are you gonna do...?
2(2b): What do you mean...? He told us to go, right? We have to!
3: I'm not really feelin' it...
4: What are you saying?!
5: Let's kick their asses!
6: C'mon! Didn't you assholes say you wanted to be a part of this?
7: Y-yes sir!
8: Hey, let's do it!!
9: You're really slow, Yoshii.
10: Tsuchiya!!

75)
1: Can't you read what the crowd's feeling?
2: They don't wanna!
3(2b): You think you can just saunter out here whenever you feel like it act like hot shit? Don't think I'm gonna let you get outta here with just a few bruises.
4: Fine, then, how about telling me WHY they don't want to?
5: Or are you gonna make them work without even understanding that?
small: not listening...
6: Fuck you...
7: There ain't no beauty in the way you do things.

76)
1: If only threatening people and committing crimes was what being a thug was about,
2(2b): it'd be too stupid to even look at--right, Yoshii? I'm talking about you.
3: Bad-ass! You're so bad-ass, Tsuchiya-saaan!
4: That sounds just like you!!
5: Ohhh...look, they're getting excited again.
6: Die!
7: I'm gonna kill you!!
8: Step down, dammit!!

77)
1: Uwaaaahhhh! That guy really did it this time!
small: He just wants to stand out...
2: Fine...you're saying just do it, aren't you?!
3: You won't leave here alive.
4: If you think you can, then by all means, let's see it! How many will stick by you?
5: It looks like we got a lot on our side too, you know.
6: S...seriously!! They have Midorikawa too!!
7: It's Shougo!!
8: The Karate man, Midorikawa!
9: Tch.

78)
1: This is dangerous, let's quit here!
2: Daisawa really has a lot of guys with them...!
3: L-like Midorikawa!!
4: Gyahh!!
5: Guahhhh...!!
6: Anyone else who wants to get sliced, step on up.
7: Who's the leader here?
8: If I say we're doing it, then we're doing it.

79)
1: We...we know! W-we'll do it!
2: We'll do it!!
3: C'mon, Daisawaaa!!
4: Bring it on, dammit!
5: Idiot!! (That's exactly what you shouldn't do...)
6: You haven't understood a word I said!
7: This is stupid!

80)
1: Izawa!!!
2: Fighting with everyone is out of the question...
3: This was originally a problem between Yoshii and I.
4: We're the only ones who should be needed to finish this.
5(2b): Am I wrong, Yoshii...? Or,
6: are you just afraid you can't take me out on your own, even with a weapon like that?

81)
1: Where are you looking, Yoshii?
2: I'm right here, in front of your eyes.
3: It's about time we finished this.

82)
1: Izawaaaa!
2: Fine by me, I'll carve you up just like you want me to!
3: Stop this, Izawa-san!! You're still bleeding, your face is all blue!
4: Watch me, Kamishiro.
5: Your kicks are all "big." If they're used on the street, at least. You need to learn minute moves, too.
6: Izawa...san?

83)
1: The fact that he's sweating that much means he's taking damage from somewhere else too.
2: It doesn't look like he's only bleeding from his head...
3: B-but...
4: As detailed earlier, one should not fight against opponents with weapons!!!
5: The following should only be utilized as a last-ditch strategy when avoiding battle is absolutely impossible.
6: First, one should try and seek out the enemy's plans and psychology. (*You should also watch your enemy in order to keep yourself from panicking at seeing a weapon.)
7: One of the following three things will most likely happen:
8: [1] The enemy charges forward and slices out toward your head or neck.
9: In this situation, he's excited due to anger or a killing intent.
10: This is extremely dangerous, but it also makes the enemy more wide open.
11: [2] The enemy steps in deep and tries to stab at your body.
12: He intends to kill you, but is not used to it.
13: Also very likely to create openings.

84)
1: In the event of Patterns 1 and 2, the enemy's behavior will become very widespread, and if one looks at the situation with a calm mind, both dodging the knife and attacking the enemy's collapsed form will both be possible. However, there is also Pattern 3.
2: [3] The enemy slashes at the hand or leg closest to the knife.
3: This means the enemy has no killing intent, but is used to injuring people with knives, and plans to attack without collapsing his own form. This is the most dangerous pattern!
4: Although it should go without saying, Yoshii uses pattern 3!!!
5: Even for martial artists, suddenly going up against this type is extremely dangerous.
6: So even with a knife, he's not going to come charging at me...I should have expected this.
7: Now then, what should you do?!

85)
1: Although it may seem a bit week, attacks to the legs work well!
2: Uuu
3: Connecting a feint to a low kick would be best.
4: In this situation, you shouldn't use a low kick that takes on your weight and pushes your body forward,
5: A traditional low kick that stresses weight with each kick
6: A snapping kick that builds on the damage gradually
7: but a kick that slides your upper body a little bit backwards, retaining the distance, while putting the tips of your toes to "flight."

86)
1: Oww!!
2: This kind of kick won't down your opponent in blow--
3: but if you can hit the same point two or three times, it will deal great damage.
4: For those who aren't used to taking kicks, the effect will be massive.
5: And what's more--

87)
1: If you go down with your feint, it means you can also attack above!!! Countering such versatile attacks with a single knife is close to impossible.
2: You little bitch!
3: By relying too much on the advantage of having a knife, it's wielder's attacks become monotonous.
4: And if the attacks don't reach their targets, the wielder will have to step in farther, usually aiming for the chest.

88)
1: While dangerous, this is a chance for a powerful strike!!
2: It beats out the length of an arm and knife in reach,
3: and also pushes away the enemy in the process,
4: while still possessing ample destructive power...

89)
1: A forward kick!!!
2(2b): Guaaaaohhh!!
