1: I'm losing...consciousness--
2: No, not yet!! Hold on...
3-5: hoo
6: Keep your eyes on your opponent and think!!!
7: When he grabbed me with both hands, he threw me instantly.
8: He must be practicing judo.

10: I need to think harder, harder, harder!!

act.9 Conclusion ~Conclusion~
1: If I get thrown again I won't be able to stand up!! This is it!!!
2: I need to think harder!!!

170)
1: He's came in with his right hand and grabbed my collar.
2: Then he twisted it so that he could lift me up with his hands.
3: Then he grabbed my right sleeve with his left hand and pulled me up!!
4: If my right sleeve gets grabbed, I won't be able to throw any rights.
5: He's got fast hands.
6: He'll grab me the minute he gets in close.
7: Then it'll have to be a left!! That's all I've got!!
8: B-but...

171)
1: He's gonna go for a left!
2: Huh?
3: But he's been hitting with his lefts.
4: He doesn't have the footwork to jump in and slam a right down.
5: Which means he's gonna have to throw a left when his opponent gets in close.
6: Jabs will just give him the same result as earlier. He needs something more powerful...
7: Does he really only know straight punches? What about a left hook...?
8: You really want this guy to win, Masaki!
9: Nah, I don't really care...
10: It's just, if he has no chance of winning, then why did he...
11: Dammit!

172)
1: Why did he stand?!
2: Why!!?
3: He'll catch me again like this!
4: I need to finish this!!
5: A left! A left punch! I need to keep throwing strong lefts
6: until he grabs me and throws me!!!

173)
1: --But that's not all--
2: Ohh, he's going in!!
3: He moved forward!
4: Lefts! Strong! Multiple!
5: Multiple!!

174)
1: Left!
2: Ohhh!!
3: One more!
4: Buh

175)
1: And one more!!!
2: Kuh!
3: Osssh!
4: ONE MORE!!!
5: Uuuuu!!

176)
1: One more!!!
2: Waaaa
3: aaaaahhhh!!

180)
1: H-he did it...!
2: Damn!!!
3: Y...Yuu...

181)
1: Wh--what the...what
2: what was that huge sound...?
3: It was a switch!!
4: He...switched up and then threw a counter!!!
5: Switched?
6: Counter?
7: What are you talking about...?

182)
1: He tried to get in as many left punches as he could.
2: But his first missed, and his second was weak.
3: When he moved in forward to keep punching,
4: Iwado grabbed his right sleeve, and he was pulled in like before.
5: But as he lost his balance, and he moved his right leg in, he switched up his stance!!!
6: His right leg was forward, and then his left was forward!

183)
1: Iwado's critical error was to go for his collar at this point! He didn't just invite a hit,
2: he left his face completely open!!
3: The Thug Hunter used the force from getting pulled in along with twisting his hips to throw in a powerful left straight.
4: Iwado was moving forward at this point too, so he got caught right in a counter.
5: You're really getting excited about this...
6: I can't imagine that the Thug Hunter planned this...it was probably a coincidence. But!

184)
1: This means he has some "ability" that gives him these coincidences!!
2-3: hah
4(2b): I...did it...but...
5-7: hah
8: Otherwise there's no way he would have been able to do this!!!

185)
1: Uwaaaaahhhh!!
2: M...my hand!!!
3: Uuuu...
4: Wh-what?!
5: I-it hurts.
6: It's swelling up!!
7: D-did I break it!!?

186)
1: Uuuuu...
2: Yuuuuuuu!!
3: It isn't easy to create fists capable of knocking out other people!
4: Even karate masters who've trained their fists with sandbags and fist push-ups sometimes hit their opponents' skulls and break their own hands!
5: I thought...as much.
6: That's how tough human bone is.
7: Let alone the shock it can send to a fist that hits it with extreme force.

187)
1: The destruction of his hand was inevitable.
2(2b): Ah...ahhhhhhhh!!
