Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 15

Howdy! Great news: guess who's caught up with Weekly Shounen JUMP's chapters with his scripts!? :D Damn right, yours truly!
Scanlations will continue soon, but let Cuhw catch a little breath. That guy is doing all the cleaning, redrawing and typesetting by his own and I made him do like 5 chapters or so in 10 days which is damn tiring as you can imagine.

Fun trivia: This week's JUMP features chapter 18 of Oumagadoki, making it the longest series I've been translating up to this point. lol

Chapter 15 – Willpower of the Underdog
Horikoshi Kouhei
Insert text: Two guys not fit for battle facing the worst possible situation: combat!!

Chita: Let go of me! Ouch! It hurts, y’know!!
Maki: No I won’t~ It’s an order, you see. “Catch them!” was what he said!

Page 2
Maki: I’m Tekka Maki the Tuna. // Hey, hey, you’re a fatty, huh? / I really hate fishy guys, you know! // I think I’m going to capture you // by dragging you in-... side thi-… // urgh…
Chita: She drowned!! What’s up with her!?
Dholak: Tekka Maki, don’t tell me you can’t breathe if you don’t move!? Will you just pull him inside already!?
Maki: Sh… shut up, Dholak! I can’t just… eat him like… a crab or something.
Oogami: Chitaa!! Now’s your chance!! // If you run down these stairs you will get to Igarashi!! // GOO!!!

Page 3
Chita: You don’t have to tell me that!!

Page 4
Chita: She’s…!
Chita (in picture): She managed to keep up with my speed!!
Maki: Feeww~~… I went a bit too far~……
Oogami: You gotta be kidding!!? Didn’t Hana-chan say your initial velocity was at 70 km/h, Chita!?
Maki: Hey, hey, you are…

Page 5
Maki: Quite fast, aren’t you!?
Chita: You’re // real fast yourself, bitch!
Maki: I really like guys who are not up to anything fishy! // But I won’t let you get past here! // I am going to capture you!
Chita: Sounds fun!!! You just try that, y’know!!
Maki: It’s fun, ri~~ght!!?

Page 6
Oogami: Chitaaaa!! Where the hell are you going!? // Don’t tell me your wild side awakened at a time like thiiis!!?
Oogami (in picture, handwritten): Where has your cool side from before gone!?
Dholak: Do you know what the highest rushing speed of the tuna is?
※It’s the fastest among all fish
Dholak: 160 km/h!
Hana (flashback): Surpassing 100 km/h!!!
Oogami (in picture): Faster than Chita!!
Dholak: The fish tank on this floor is connected continuously! // Tekka Maki has a way of going to anywhere whenever she wants to!
Graphic: “Big Sea Corridor” Floor [TN for Scanlator: Please also change the names in circles as follows!]
大 = O |ド = D | 知 = C | マ = M [TN: You guessed it, they stand for the characters’ names]

Page 7
Dholak: Looks like it’s checkmate for you, zoo… but I won’t kill you because you’re going to become our commodity. / So why don’t you let yourself get arrested obediently, hmm…?
Oogami: D-… don’t want tooo!! // Hiyah!! // Ha ha ha! I knew that one! Crabs are only able to move laterally! // Have fun running towards that wall for the rest of your life~~!! // I’m going to retrieve Igarashi now!!

Page 8
Dholak: Are you an idiot?
Oogami: Ack!!
Dholak: Spider crabs can move freely in all directions! / Plus, right now I’m in my human form so it doesn’t even have anything to do with that, gishigishi! // Do you have any brains?
Oogami (in picture): He cut me!? // …no, that’s not it!! He skewered me!!! In one sweep!! What kind of friggin power is that!?
Dholak: Once I’ve caught you, I’ll rise in the ranks! // So you’re gonna be my stepping stone!
Oogani: What the hell is this guy…!! Compared to this crab even the orca doesn’t seem as scary!! He may be just a crab… // But he’s SCARY!!!

Page 9
Dholak: Now surrender obediently! // Mr. Underdog who was destined to lose from the very beginning. [TN: This is quite a nice wordplay. In Japanese there’s the word 負け犬 (makeinu) which literally means “losing dog” but is used figuratively for “loser” or “underdog”. I chose the latter one in order to get this implicated meaning across.]
Oogami (in picture): I already said, I don’t want to!! // He’s so scary…!!
Dholak: Answer me, dammit! You can speak after all. So, are you gonna cooperate?
Oogami: Yeow!
Oogami (in picture): Ouch!! / Don’t wanna!! // I don’t want to… // He’s so scary… and it hurts!!
Oogami: Ackk!
Oogami (in picture): Seeing all this…

Page 10
Oogami: I just can’t keep up with all of thiii~s, dammit!!!
Dholak: Sti~ll running away? // I forgot to tell you this, // we were told it’s okay to kill you if you resist! // It might lower my evaluations from the boss… I really tried my hardest here to cooperate, but you / prefer to resist!
Oogami: Aaahhhh!! And you’re telling me this NO~~~W!!?

Page 11
Oogami: Owww!!! // hah // hah
Dholak: A dead end, too bad for you.
<sfx: *huff* *huff*>
Oogami: It’s enough… / hah… my body hurts and I’m too damn scared… I can’t keep up with this anymore. // If being caputred is an option, I’ll take it!

Page 12
Chita: What the hell’s up with you… still not at your limit!?
Maki: Nope~
Chita: I can only go at my top speed for 20 seconds!! I only got about 5 seconds left, not a single one more than that…
Chita (in picture): Is she trying to fool me? // Or is she really just playing with me!?
Maki: Hey, hey, looks like you really can’t raise your speed any further, huh!?
Chita: Wha-!?
Maki: So you weren’t fast after all, hmm!?

Page 13
Maki: I hate such fishy guys!
Chita (in picture): It’s no use, I can’t keep up // I’m getting caugh--…
Dholak: Gishishishishishi, lame! So lame!! But you understood your situation! // Thanks for helping me with my promotion! Gishishishi // Well, you agreed to help me by becoming the stepping stone leadings to my goals, // I appreciate your effort!

Page 14
Oogami: CHITAAA!! DON’T GET CAUUGHT!!
Dholak: Huh?
Oogami: RUUN!
Chita (in picture): Oogami--!!
Oogami: RUUUN!!!
Dholak: What is this? What’s that yapping? The barking of a losing dog?
Oogami: Ugh!!
Dholak: Gishishishi

Page 15
Oogami: You fool! Don’t you know that wolves are masters of calculation!? // Sorry to tell you this just now.
Dholak: That’s why I’m asking what this is all about! // I already told you that Tekka Maki will capture that fatty, didn’t I!? Didn’t you hear what I said about her speed!?
Chita: Hhhnnggghhh!!! [TN for Scanlators: See how the letters get bigger in the raw. Maybe you can adapt this in some nice way :)]
Maki: Oh~ // So you ARE fast // in the end, huh!?
Oogami: It’s exactly that tuna’s speed… / that’s going to backfire at you!! // CHITA, NOW!! // STOP RIGHT THERE!!!

Page 16
Chita: Hm?
Maki: Wha-!?
Dholak: Ugh!

Page 17
Oogami: Hell yeaaah!!! // Hahaha!! A collision at over 100 km/h! / Just as planned… haha
Chita: Huh? Wha-? / hah / hah hah [TN for Scanlators: every ゼー equals on “hah”]
Oogami: I lured the crab into that corner so the tuna would crash in him. / hah / hah // I came up with this when I noticed the tuna’s overflowing energy and vigor.
Chita: I could have never thought this up from just that… // hah / hah
Oogami: You’re just way too absorbed in running!
Chita: But you know what! Just before I exceeded my limits, y’know! // I ran for 25 seconds straight, y’know, I definitely broke the 200 km/h mark!!
Oogami: No, you didn’t! Geez… // Ah well, at any rate…
Chita: We managed the unexpected, yeah!!!

Page 18
Oogami: It may hurt and be scary to the point I can’t keep up with it. // But the thought of not returning with everybody is even more unendurable! // Let’s go, off to Igarashi!
Chita: Let’s not lose any time and head there!
Shiina: Shit…!! Fucking shit…!! // I have to get Igarashi back quickly! // Rapid Rabbit…
Fuka: Hey! // Wait… rabbit… man…

Uwabami: Kasai!!
Devilfish: J-j just m-my f-f- favorite k- kind… of w- woman…a s-s- snake woman… wriggle, wriggle!
Ikkaku: You are // quite reticent, I see!
