Bamboo Blade 102

~NOTE ahoy~
I suggest we should add the note either at the beginning or at the end of the book or just make a text note for it.

Num 1:
Gyokuryuuki (玉竜旗) is apparently an all Japan high school kendo tournament

Num 2:
shinai --> bamboo sword/ BAMBOO BLADE / bamboo stick/ fencing stick

Num 3:
jodan -> overhead stance/position.
migi-morote-jodan literally translates to --> right - both hands - overhead stance
hidari-morote-jodan literally translates to --> left - both hands - overhead stance

Goodness, anyone familiar with kendo terms should just go ahead and correct me.

Num 4:
chudan --> middle stance/position

Num 5:
Dunno if it's true, but it seems to me that kendoka around the world(?) generally use the
Japanese terms for the team positions, so I left them as they are. I'm not a kendoka here, so
I won't be too surprised if I'm wrong.

AND SO, here they are:

senpou (previously "leadoff / vanguard")
jihou (previously "2nd / 2nd vanguard")
chuuken (previously "3rd / center")
fukushou (previously "4th / second in command")
taishou (previously "anchor / general")

Num 6:
Kendoka --> Kendo practitioner

And for those who are interested in more kendo terms:

380 yen and-

560 yen.


>Panel 2
The total would be 1230 yen.


>Panel 3
Thank you very much.

Please come again.


>Panel 4
Thanks for your hard work, Toraji.

Mom can take care of the rest, so you can go and take a break.

It's fine, I'm not tired at all.


>Panel 5
The school will start tomorrow, right?

Here. (Text)

You should sleep early today.

Okaaay.

BB pg 008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
In other words,

they will change themselves even if we leave them be.


>Panel 2
Change into an adult...

by themselves.


>Panel 3
Until that time comes,

I...to these kids...


>Panel 4
What do I want to convey to these kids?


>Panel 5
I have never been in charge of something until now.

These kids... are the only ones I could call as my students.


>Panel 6
For an immature adult like me...

just what kind of things I could convey to them...?


BB pg 009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Many days have passed since the Banish Academy recording.
Narration (Azuma's Paper)

Okay,

form a line.


>Panel 2
The eventful days were over, and the club returned to its usual activity.


>Panel 3
We are spending our enjoyable summer break.

Gahaha (Text)

Kuwa (Shirt Text)

We look forward to the broadcast of the Banish Academy next month.


>Panel 4
A little about the aftermath of the match between Erina-chan and Sakaki-san----


>Panel 5
In the end, the training camp schedule had to be changed drastically.


>Panel 6
The two who passed out had to keep their health in mind, so they had to hold back in the 2nd day match.

We can no longer follow the schedule.


>Last Panel
As for the TV staffs, they are already used to schedule changes.

So, they started the recording without delay.


BB pg 010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
And then, this part is on schedule, but-

Sueno Shouko-san went home without participating on the 2nd day of the training camp.


>Panel 2
As the Gyokuryuuki tournament is drawing near, she can't afford to neglect the club anymore than this.

I see,

Sakaki-san and Yamada-san can't participate in the tournament.


>Panel 3
...What a pity.

I wanted to fight both of you here.


>Panel 4
I'm truly sorry, I kept messing up the schedule...

No, it was a good match.


>Panel 5
I'm already in the 3rd year.

I can't fight in the high school level anymore.


>Panel 6
Next time,

let us meet in the All Japan Championship.


BB pg 011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
The one thing that I regretted-

was that Sueno-san went home without knowing Tama-chan.


>Panel 4
I suppose it was still too early for Tama-chan to fight those girls.

Oryo~

...Nah.


>Panel 5
It's just a matter of time...

right...?


>Panel 6
By the way, in today's recording---


>Last Panel (RANT: Fabulous Max~)
Miyazaki-san had a big role.

From my point of view, I could see she had something like an aura which is comparable to Erina-chan's and Ryoko-chan's.


BB pg 012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Hohohohohoho (Black Text above)

You wouldn't think that she's actually a novice by looking at her facial expression, the way she read the situation, and her skill with words. Even the TV staffs were deeply impressed by her.

Somehow, it seemed to me that Ryoko-chan was a little mad and became competitive because of that.


>Panel 2 (RANT: I'm tempted to change "greatness" to "fabulousness". Well, this is just a rant, so you can ignore it.)
I expect no less from her...

Haaaa~

Even to us, it was truly a day where we found Miyazaki-san's greatness anew.


>Panel 3
But as expected, the one who stood out the most was-

Tama-chan.


>Last Panel
In the equal practice with the Kendo Beauties, equal matches between them were unfolding quite literally.

Her matches drew everyone's attention, just like her match against Erina-chan the day before.

Tama-chan (me) ko O - X ko Miruka-san (Text)
Tama-chan ko X - O (me) me Touko-san (Text)

But I... had a feeling that Tama-chan could go even further,

since I somehow felt that Tama-chan didn't really put herself into it, even less so than usual...


BB pg 013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
After the match she had with Erina-chan... no,

after the match between Erina-chan and Sakaki-san... it appeared to me that Tama-chan was different than her usual self.


>Panel 2
Now that I think about it...


>Panel 3
Sakaki-san's father had this strange look on him when he saw Tama-chan...

...I wonder if something happened.


>Panel 4
....Um, // Azuma-san.


>Panel 5
There's something I'd like to ask...


>Panel 6
...What is it, Tama-chan?

Exit (text on the door)

We'll be going first~~


>Last Panel
Azuma-san...

why are you practising kendo?


BB pg 014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
To think that Tama-chan-


>Panel 4
would ask this question...


>Panel 5
As I thought, she's worried about something-

after witnessing that match...


>Panel 8
At first, I started practising kendo because Grandpa recommended me.

I did my best because I wanted to make Grandpa happy. After all, Grandpa was the one who really enjoys watching me getting better in Kendo.


>Panel 9
I thought of stopping practising kendo after middle school, but... I thought it was for the best that I followed everyone's persuasion and restarted practising kendo.

"Kendo will polish the human we call Azuma Satori"... I understood that it was for the best.


>Last Panel
As for right now...


BB pg 015 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
My goals are to get even stronger and to participate in the national tournament.

I'm putting all my effort in order to achieve those.


>Panel 3
However...


>Panel 6
My number one goal is---


>Panel 8
The first thing we need to do today is the Banish Academy recording.

Make sure you apologize for what you did the other day.

...Yes.


>Last Panel
...I gave hard time to Kamesaki-san as well...

I'm really sorry...


BB pg 016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Huh?


>Panel 3
Why are you stopping, Kamesaki-san?

........Erina-chan.


>Panel 4
At that time, it must have been because you had something you really need to do. Looking from the result, the recording came out interesting, so we can't blame you for that.

...But,


>Panel 5
Why did you not tell me?


>Panel 7
It's fine not telling the others.

It's fine not telling your family, friends, boyfriend,

the other staffs, and even costars.

But, I am your manager, Erina-chan.


>Panel 8
I am-

your partner.


>Panel 9
You're not supposed to do that to me!!


>Last Panel
I-

I'm sorry...


BB pg 017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Never ever do that to me again!!

You got that!!!


>Last Panel
Yes...


BB pg 018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Go away

Drop dead


>Panel 6
Don't get cocky. (Cut off text)

Idiot. (Huge Text)

Performer (lol)


>Panel 7
Giggle // Giggle


>Panel 9
What happened, Toda-san?

Did someone do something to you?


>Almost Last Panel
Oh my, there are actually people who would do such terrible things.

Who could have done this, I wonder?


BB pg 019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
What?

What are you going to do, Toda-san?

The hell are you doing?


>Panel 4
Trying to say I'm the one who have done it?

Ha?

Where's the proof?


>Panel 5
Lemme go!


>Panel 6
So annoying.

Giggle giggle (text)

All this happened because you're like th-


>Last Panel
Kya!

Uwaaah!


BB pg 020 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
Kyaaaah!

Waah!

Every single one of them is worthless. (Text)


>Panel 4
No talent,

unwilling to work hard,

they're all idiots who always hinder other people.


>Panel 5
All idiots can just disappear-

from my world.


BB pg 021 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
If it isn't Kamesaki, // are you still Erina-chan's manager?

Well yeah.


>Panel 5
Looks like I'll become her manager officially.

Well, I look forward to working with you, Kuroiwa.


>Panel 6
By the way,

Ryoko-chan seems to get along with our Erina-chan recently.


>Panel 7
Where did you buy that hat?

It's from fashion center Shimomura.

It's cute~


>Panel 8
Do you wanna go shopping with me next time?

I found a good store just recently.

Waaai~ I'll go!


BB pg 022 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I believe Ryoko-chan used to be hostile towards Erina-chan...?

Do I really have to explain, Kame?


>Panel 2
Before, Ryoko-chan thought of Erina-chan as just a kid who never works hard.

But after the shooting for the Banish Academy, she saw Erina-chan in a new light.


>Panel 3
Ryoko always respects anyone who works hard to improve themselves, no matter in what field they are.


>panel 4
Ryoko now acknowledges Erina-chan, // and sees her as an arch-rival.

She finally achieved to become one I wanted her to be.


>Panel 5
If you look down on someone, you won't be able to see their good points. // You won't learn anything from them in the end.

As Ryoko have realized how Sawamiya Erina has been living her life until now, she came to respect her.


>Last Panel
She was charmed by Erina basically.


BB pg 023 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>panel 1
I'm grateful.

From now on, Ryoko will use Sawamiya Erina as a stepping stone to grow even further.


>Panel 4
See you, sensei!

See you!


>panel 5
Ah, // Kirino.

Oryo (text)


>last panel
Do you have time?

What is it? Izzit a date?


BB pg 024 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Whoa!! What happened!?

What is Kojiro-sensei doing with all that money!?


>Panel 3 (NOTE: boke-tsukkomi in manzai comedy thingy, go google it!)
Don't tell me, you finally... the school's money.

I don't need a boke here.


>Panel 4
Please excuse me.

Hoop(text)

So, why do sensei have this much money?


>Panel 5
I'm thinking of using this money to take you guys to Kyushu.

To observe the Gyokuryuuki... or something.


>Panel 6
Waaah! Gyokuryuuki!! That sounds good, sensei!!

Let's go! Let's go! With everyone!

Hmmm, but you know...


>Panel 7
Just this amount of money won't be able to cover for travelling and lodging expenses.

Gotta be responsible for everyone of you..., right?


>Last Panel
I will say this only to you.

This is for Tama-chan.


BB pg 025 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Even if I use more money to bring you guys to the Gyokuryuuki---

...Well, I'm sure everyone could learn something from it, but- // it is still too early for you guys after all.


>Panel 3
All I could think about-

is Tama-chan.


>Panel 4
Can you go along with me for Tama-chan's sake?


>Panel 5
There's no need to ask me-

or everybody else.


>Panel 6
...Thank you.

I knew you would say that...

Sensei is being too reserved.


>Panel 7
I just wanted to make sure.


>Last Panel
Anyway, it's not exactly meaningless if we go there.


BB pg 026 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Because eventually,

we will come out in the tournament ourselves!!


>Last Panel
Marinemesse Fukuoka / Fukuoka Convention Center (building name)


BB pg 027 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
It may be still too early right now, but...


>Last Panel
Let us watch for the sake of next year.


BB pg 028-029 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because next year,

we will stand there together with everyone as participants.


BB pg 030 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
Yesterday,

One~, two~, three~, four~ (text)

Tama asked me this.


>Panel 4
Sensei,

why are you practicing kendo?


>Panel 5
Me, too.

She also asked Saya the same thing.

Here. (Text)


>panel 6
Yeah. (Text)

What was your answer?


>Panel 7
Miyazaki-san,


>Last Panel
why-

are you practicing kendo?


BB pg 031 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Hmmm...


>Panel 2
I started just to accompany Dan-kun, so...

it's not like I had any interest in it.


>Panel 3
When I started doing it,

I understood why I'm doing Kendo.


>Panel 4
I have an offensive personality after all, so I enjoy hitting my opponent.

So, I thought to myself, "Kendo sure is fun."


>Panel 6
But, you know.

When I realized that Kendo doesn't stop there, I enjoyed doing it even more.


>Panel 7
I-

can't help but wanting myself to become stronger.


>Last Panel
Just how strong I can get?

I'm doing my best in order to know that.


BB pg 032 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Miyazaki-san... wants to get stronger... through kendo...

Yep.

Women have to be strong.


>Panel 2
...But actually,

my main goal is-----


>Panel 5
Then, I'll pass the message to everyone by mail.

Yeah, I'm counting on you.

I'll tell them the detail tomorrow.


>Panel 6
The day after tomorrow,

the Muroe kendo club will go to Kyushu!


>Last Panel
The school will start tomorrow, right?

You should sleep early today.

Okaaay.


BB pg 033 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Toraji, wait for a bit.


>Panel 2
Here, take this.

What's that?


>Panel 3
What's with this amount of money?


>Panel 4
Is that so? // So you can't take so much money out of the blue for no reason, huh?

Theeen---

No, I AM taking this, but-

What's this for?


>Panel 5
Your New Year's gift deposit has matured so I withdrew it.

Then, this IS my money!

Munny~~ (on the envelope)


>panel 6
Even if I gave it to you, you'll just spend it away on something useless after all!

Hahhahhah! (Text)

So I'm untrustworthy, huh...

It's spot on, though.


>Panel 7
Well, you're already an adult now.

And you'll turn 26 soon, right?


>last Panel
I'm sure you know how to spend money now.

Take it.

Yeah.


BB pg 034 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
I guess this is a first for me.


>Panel 3
Spending money for something really useful.


>Last Panel
Excuse me...

Could you be----...


BB pg 035 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
Yes?


>panel 4
Ah...


>panel 5
Could you be...

Yamazaki Tsubaki's...


>Panel 6
Do you know mother!?


>Panel 8
......I thought so...

I thought you just had to be when I saw your kendo----


>Last Panel
I am Ura's father, I came from Kyushu.

I was in the same school as Tsubaki-san!

Really, what a coincidence!

Hahaha (Leftmost Text)


BB pg 036 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Right, right! Tsubaki-san was married at Kanagawa.

I knew that because I saw her on TV by chance.


>Panel 2
Is Tsubaki-san doing well?

She doesn't seem to be here though.....


>Panel 3
Mother...

passed away when I was a kid.


BB pg 037 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
I see...

So, that's how it is...


>Panel 3
Tsubaki-san... is no longer...

She was doing really well when I saw her on TV... so full of aspiration...


>Panel 4
What was mother talking about on TV?


>Panel 6
I'm really sorry.

I don't really remember the detail...

...I see.


>Panel 7
Excuse me.

That TV program, I may have took part in it.


>Panel 8
Ooe-san.

I overheard your story, so...


>Last Panel
Do you when it was broadcasted?

Sometime before I was born.

What channel?

Is it an evening broadcast?


BB pg 038 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Hmm...

That must be my TV program.

I see... the daughter of that person back then participated in my program now...


>Panel 2
Today was such an emotionally eventful day...


>Panel 3
Now that I think about it, there was a person who was talking about her child being born soon...


>Panel 4
Ah! That is Tsubaki-san!

I think she was talking about something like that---


>Panel 5
I- // is there any clip of that show?

Yes,

there is.


>Panel 6
When it's done...

May I see it?


>panel 7
Sure, I'll search for it.

Can I have your address?

Yes! Thank you very much!


>Last Panel
Mother...

was talking----...


BB pg 039 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
About me----...


BB pg 040 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Huh?


>Panel 2
Where...

am I?


>Panel 3
Looks like you had a lot on your mind.


>Panel 4
Yuuji-kun...


>Last Panel
Were you right behind me all this time...?


BB pg 041 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
It's been while since we played in the park.


>Panel 2
----Yes...


>Panel 3
Yoh.


>Panel 4
Yuuji-kun...

why are you practising kendo?


>Panel 5
Hah!


>Panel 8
Oopsies.


>Panel 9
Yoh.


>Panel 10
Hop.


BB pg 042 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I've always been close to Tama-chan since forever after all.

It's only natural that we start doing kendo together.


>Panel 2
Also, practising kendo is fun, that's why I'm still doing it until now.

They're so simple, huh? Men.


>Panel 3
I see.


>Panel 4
Urya!


>Panel 6
I was the closest.


>Panel 7
Even closer than everybody in the club.

Even closer than Kojiro-sensei.


>Last Panel
That's why,

I know what are you thinking and hesitating about.


BB pg 043 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
I'm sorry,

I'm afraid I'm unable give you the answer you're looking for, Tama-chan.


>Panel 3
Besides, // that answer,

you just might be able to find it far in the future.


>Panel 4
You don't need to rush it.


>Panel 5
That's the reason why there are the club,

everyone,

and sensei.


>Panel 6
That's the reason why-

you have time.

>Panel 1
OOOOOOHH!!!


>Panel 2
Awesome, Saya!

Kyaa!! (Text)

What a quick dribble!!


>Panel 3
Damn it, Saya!

Fast break!


>Panel 4
Uooooh!!


>panel 5
That girl's gooood!

Hooooo....! (Text)

She's got great physical ability and height.

The Coach (thin text)

Right, sensei?


>Panel 6
You were Kuwahara-san from the 2nd year, right!?

You're on fire, oy!

Were you in a basketball club member in your middle school?

No, I was in the softball club.


>last Panel
Eeh, how come you're so good at this?

Well, that's because my bro always made me accompany him when I was in the elementary school...

You should join the basketball club.

Nah, join nao, you!


BB pg 048 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Even if you don't join us, can I ask you at least be a backup during competition?

We just have barely enough team members, and they're all lacking in height, you see? // You'll be a great help if you join us.

>Panel 3
Ummm...

I'll think about it.


>Panel 4
Sayaaa!

Oh! (Thin text)

The club's starting.


>Panel 5
Well then, please excuse me! // I'm sorry for bothering you!

That's too bad! (text)

Come by again anytime!


>panel 6
That Saya, she got invitation from various sports club like the softball club and the ballet club, but...

it looks like she turned down everything in the end.

Earnestly choosing the kendo club.


>panel 7
I see... she must be a girl who focuses on one thing without looking at anything else.

Bravo! (Text)

Mmmm, not exactly.


>Last Panel
I wonder why she chose the kendo club.


BB pg 049 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Ah, Tama-chaaan!

Good morniiiiing!


>Panel 2
A good morning to you.

As polite as ever~, huh~♥ (Text)

Hey, hey, did you hear? Kojiro-sensei, you see,---


>Panel 3
Eh?

Why am I practising kendo....?


>panel 7
I can't say it...

I can't possibly tell her my true feelings when she asked me with such serious eyes...


>Last Panel
I joined the club by mistake. Just like that, I couldn't say anything about it so I just keep on doing it...

X Volume 8 extra chapter (Text)

Hmmm, that's because kendo is my calling!

Let's just deceive her with a vague answer.


BB pg 050 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
In jodan, there are hidari-morote-jodan where your left foot comes forward and migi-morote-jodan where you take stance with your right foot forward.

People generally use hidari-morote-jodan.


>Panel 2
The most important thing is readiness.

You focus on the opponent with "come at me whenever wherever" feeling.

Readiness......


>Panel 3
Jodan is an offensive stance that ignores defending.

It's useless if you're not confident about it.

There won't be distance for offense and defense, so the only thing you can do is to focus.


>panel 4
You can assume that you'll lose if you move even just one step.


>panel 5
So... you need a lot of courage.....


>Panel 6
I think you can do it, Saya.

The point of jodan is to intimidate your opponent with your height. // This is perfect for you because you are tall enough.


>Last Panel
Above all, a full offense style such as this-

perfectly suits reckless people like you.


BB pg 051 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
Jodan's moves are generally single-handed moves!

Grip the shinai tightly!


>Panel 4
Awesome, that was a powerful swing!

Oyo? She's become good at it already?


>Almost Last panel
What's wrong, Saya?

Are you tired?


>Last Panel
Sensei... I...


BB pg 052 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I'll stop-

doing joudan.


>Panel 4
Why?


>panel 5
Jodan is something for someone who has a strong foundation, right...?

So, I just thought it's still kinda too early for me...

Too early or not, you're already in your 2nd years. You don't have much time left.


>Panel 6
I want to continue practising kendo... even after I graduate...

Not just during this 3 years...


>Panel 7
I want to take it more slowly... and learn it properly...

Right now... I have got to practice the basics.


>Panel 8
Not to enjoy it just on impulse...


>Last Panel
I want to train my inner self properly.


BB pg 053 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Hm,

okay then.


>Panel 2
Then, let's do the same practice with everyone.

We'll slowly start from the basic with chudan.


>Panel 3
Tama-chan,

this is my real answer.


>Panel 4
It isn't just-

about liking or enjoying it.

I need kendo so I can become an adult.

I suppose that's the gist of it?


>Panel 5
But you know, Tama-chan.


>panel 6
As I thought, my number one aim is----


>Last Panel
Everyone, assemble!


BB pg 054 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
You've been told through mail yesterday, but we're going to Kyushu tomorrow.

To watch the Gyokuryuuki tournament.


>Panel 2
And so... we have a problem with the budget...

We can't possibly get any from the school, so the school is out of question.

And there's also a limit as to what I can help with the budget...


>Panel 3
I can cover the expenses for departing flight and lodging, but I'd like you guys to pay the returning flight by yourselves.

We understand that.

Don't be so reserved, Sensei! We'll pay ourselves if it's just that much.


>Panel 4
I'm sorry.

Let's together with everyone then.


>Panel 5
Let's scout the battlefield for the sake of next year!!

OOOOH!!


BB pg 055 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first time getting on an airplane...

Is it alright...? It won't fall?

Don't worry, I'm here with you.


>Panel 2
Have you gone to Kyushu, Tama-chan?

Nod Nod (thin text)

Yes, since both father and mother are originally from Kyushu.


BB pg 056 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Almost last panel (In case someone feel like editing that out ;p)
Waaaaah!

>Last Panel
Men, hit!


BB pg 057 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Sueno-san, she's amazing!

She's hecka strong!!


>Panel 2
I wonder which one is stronger, Erina-chan or Sakaki-san?

Hmmm, they're on the whole different level than us, so it's hard to tell.


>Panel 4
Men, hit!


>Panel 5
The Kokujou High will decide the match with Sueno as the chuuken.


>Panel 6
Both the fukushou and the taishou won't get any turn.


BB pg 058 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4 (Same as pg 56)
Oooooh!


BB pg 059 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
The atmospshere-

is really tense.


>Panel 2
This tournament is different.


>Panel 3
Compared to my matches I've fought until now,

it is completely different.


>Panel 4
The thing that those people standing there have...

The thing that I don't have...


>Panel 5
is to fight with [conviction].


>Panel 6
Tama.


>panel 7
You need to know this. I brought you here to this Gyokuryuuki-

not to make you work hard so that you can stand on that stage.


>Last Panel
In any case, I want you to feel these many things.

Your dojo at home,

the school club,

the national tournament------...


BB pg 060 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I won't tell you what to do or what to be.


>Panel 3
You have to decide everything for yourself,

Tama.


>Panel 4
Kote, hit!

On that day, Sueno-san brought the team to victory without losing a single point.


>Last Panel
The next day, however...


BB pg 061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Dooou!

Dou, hit!


>Panel 2
Sueno-san lost a point!

What happened to Sueno-san!?


>Panel 3
You know...


>Panel 4
Don't you think she's looking out of it?


>Panel 6
Haah

Haah


>Last Panel
Eeei!

Aaaah!!


BB pg 062 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Men!

Men, hit!


>Panel 2
Hyuuu!!

Awesome....!!


>Panel 3
So, this is the real jodan...

So cool.

I wanna do that too someday...


>Panel 4
Sueno-san is doing totally fine! She doesn't look out of it!


>Panel 5
I sure hope so....

Hm~ (Text)


>Last Panel
Final Match!!

Kokujou High vs Sanyou High (Text)


BB pg 063 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Haah

Haah


>panel 2
Don't push yourself too hard, Sueno-san!

You have a terrible fever....


>Panel 3
....No need to worry.

What are you talking about!?


>Panel 6
She beat two Sanyou High members in a row!

Aah...


>Panel 7
Sueno-san!


>Panel 8
Sueno-san, you don't have to come out there!

Just leave the rest to us!


>Panel 9
No,

please let me.


>Last Panel
Why!? Why can't you have faith in us!?

We're teammates, right!!? Sueno-san!


BB pg 064 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Of course I do have faith in you.

But, this is a problem of my own personal feeling.


>Panel 2
Please, let me do this...

I won't cause you trouble....


>Last Panel
Sueno Shouko.

Her movement is clearly dull!!


BB pg 065 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
She looked even more worn out than when I fought two matches.

She looks like she already past her physical limit.


>Panel 3
I should be able to close in with this speed!!

I got y-


>Panel 4
Meeeen!!!


BB pg 066 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
S-

So fast...!


>Panel 2
Huuf!

Huuf!


>Panel 3
Right,

I've already decided-


>Panel 4 (NOTE: this line here could mean a few things, they are "to make someone realize", "to take revenge on someone", "to teach someone a lesson" or "to get even with")
to get even with them.


>Panel 5
With the ones who are watching from over there,


>Last panel
Sakaki Ura.


BB pg 067 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
----And then,


>panel 2
Yamada Umeko.


>Last Panel
I will make you both regret-

for not standing here on this stage.


BB pg 068 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No trans needed.


BB pg 069 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Last Panel
Kokujou High-

won the Gyokuryuuki for two consecutive years!!!


BB pg 070 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
If you were to fight her... will you be able to win, Ura?


>panel 3
No...

Right now,

I am not qualified to fight against Sueno-san.


>Panel 4
But,

soon...

without fail...


>Panel 5
It's regrettable that Sueno is graduating from high school.


>Panel 6
Yamada who quits the club also can't fight in the tournament.

Just when Ura finally returned to the kendo world, but whom could she call a rival now...?


BB pg 071 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4+5
Clap clap clap clap


BB pg 072 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
Sueno-san, she's...

standing in a different position than us, isn't she...?


>Panel 5
That's a position she gained through devoting her entire youth as a girl.

But I don't think you girls will follow her footstep.


>Panel 6
Because I'm sure that girl and you,

each one of you has your own way on how to live your life fully.


>Panel 7
But-----


BB pg 073 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
How about you,

Tama?


>Panel 3
Tama-chan-

is different from us.


>Panel 4
Is it okay for you to keep on like this?


>Panel 5
Are you okay with going along with us?


>Panel 6
You have a great potential.


>Panel 7
Defeated for the first time by a girl from the same generation.


>Last Panel
Watched the national tournament with your own eyes.


BB pg 074 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you desire,

Kawazoe Tamaki?


BB pg 075 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Tama-chaaan

Oooi (Text)


>Panel 2
Ah.


>Panel 3
Who?

They're Tama-chan's grandpa and grandma.


>Panel 4
From her mother's side, that is.

They live here. Since they heard that Tama-chan was coming, they're here to meet her.


>Panel 5
We'll wait at the store over there then.


>Panel 6 (NOTE/TRIVIA: Tama's grandparents speak with dialect. Not sure what dialect though, maybe Kyushu dialect?)
I see... so you're going home today, huh?


>Panel 7
You can just take your time and stay here.

Hahaha (Text)

I came here with everyone, so...


>Panel 8
I will come here with father next time.

...Is that so?

That's too bad~ (Text)


>Last Panel
In that case, why don't we eat some delicious foods for today?

Okay.


BB pg 076 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Go ahead, help yourself!


>panel 3
Th-

thank you for the foods.


>Panel 4
Oh, this cream anmitsu looks really good.

Miss, we'd like to order this one!!


>Panel 5
Here, aaaah.


>Panel 6
Aaaaah.


>Panel 7
Is it delicious?

Y...yes, very.


>Panel 8
Here, try this one too.


>Panel 9
Eat this one too.


>Last Panel
This one too.

This too.

This too.


BB pg 077 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Mugumuni!! Mugamoka (SFX)

Tamaki thought to herself-

Id wasd delijious. (Text, typo on purpose)

that something terrible would happen had she been living here.


>Panel 2
Oh, yes,

we brought this for you.


>Last Panel
The shinai... that mother used.


BB pg 078 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
It's all worn out...


>Panel 2
Every single day, she swung that shinai from morning till evening, you see?

The shinai became so worn out in just one month.


>Panel 3
This is the only one left.

She used this one when she was still a student. It was left in the storeroom.


>Panel 6
Mother participated in the Gyokuryuuki, didn't she?

Yep.

She went pretty far too.


>Panel 7
Mother is also different from me...

She devoted her time as a student to kendo.


>Panel 8
Mother is...


>Last panel
I wonder what-

my mother wished me to be.


BB pg 079 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
If she was alive,

I----


>panel 3
Would you like to try to swing it?


>panel 4
Eh?


>panel 5
Tsubaki's shinai...


>Last Panel
Kyaaa♥ (grandma text)

KYAAAAH! (waitress text)

Miss customer! Please refrain from practice-swinging in the store!


BB pg 080 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
If Tama-chan were to live here in Kyushu,


>Panel 5
I wonder what will happen.


>Panel 6
Kyushu is the land of kendo after all!

Nyoho~on (text)

There are dojos all over the town and there are many kendoka here.

The environment is much better than getting into Muroe High club, so I'm sure she'll become unbelievably stronger.


>Panel 7
Naah...

I heard recently that there many kids who are losing interest in kendo, so yeah...


>Last Panel
And I also heard there many dojo closing down.

Furthermore, the school is having trouble with the lack of members.


BB pg 081 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Probably-

to Tama-chan,


>Panel 2
being together in this club with you guys-

is the best environment for her.


>Panel 3
If only-

I wasn't the club's coach.


>Panel 5
Byebye Kyushu.

We'll come again.


>Last Panels
Next year,

for sure-----...


BB pg 082 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
I'm home.

Ooh, welcome back, Tamaki.


>Panel 7
There's a guest for you, Tamaki.


>Last Panel
A guest for me....

at this time?


BB pg 083 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Who is it?

Mmm, if I'm not wrong.....


>Panel 6 (RANT: short hair FTW!)
Good evening.

Hair extension for TV use (text)


>Last Panel
Sawamiya-san!!?

That's right, Sawamiya-san.


BB pg 084 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Heee...

So, you watched the Gyokuryuuki.


>panel 2
I also watched it today.

Sueno-san... she sure was amazing.


>panel 3
Yes,

I was glad I could watch her directly.


>Panel 4
I also wanted to stand on that stage...

Sakaki-san was probably thinking the same thing.


>Panel 5
Next year, I'm sure Sakaki-san will come to that place. // ...But,

I won't be there. // Sueno-san who is graduating also won't be there.


>Panel 7
I'm worried about Sakaki-san.


>Panel 8
Worried-----...


>Last Panel
I'm worried-

if she would ended up getting isolated again...


BB pg 085 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
I'll say this bluntly.

Sakaki Ura, // that girl is-


>Panel 3
an idiot.


>Panel 4
(NOTE: sfx for shining/glittering "paaa" is the same as "my head went paaa/blank" thus unable to think like an IDIOT)
(RANT: Took me a while to understand like Tama-chan. Sorry, I can't invent a joke so I can only explain what's going on.
Well, I was looking at Ura's expression when I realized the joke, so I chuckled, kinda.)

Always brilliantly shining.

Paaaaaaaa (SFX)


>Last Panel
"Ah, she must meant about being a kendo idiot",

so Tamaki understood.


BB pg 086 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Ummm, Sawamiya-san.

About why you came here today...


>Panel 2
Yes, // Tama-chan

I came here to ask you a favor.


>Panel 3
It's about that idiot!

"Kendo idiot"..., yes?


>Panel 4
I understood this from the event the other day. If we took kendo from her, then she'll be left with nothing.

That's why, we have to take care of it so that that thing won't happen again.


>Panel 5
"That thing"...


>panel 6
So...

how does that relate to me...?


>Last Panel
As far as I know,

you are the only one.


BB pg 087 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
You have to keep her tied in to the world of kendo,

Tama-chan.


>Last Panel
Become her rival!


BB pg 088 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Umm...

But,

Uh... (Text)

How could someone like me be Sakaki-san's rival....?


>Panel 3
Nuh-uh,

I can't think any other person than you.


>panel 4
It's not only about strength.

This is about the power that only you have it.

The power that fired me up.

Your kendo has that power.


>panel 6
Just being strong won't do.

Sakaki-san needs someone like you who possesses that kind of power.


>panel 7
Why...


>Last Panel
Why...

do Sawamiya-san worry about Sakaki-san so much....?


BB pg 089 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 3
That girl...


>panel 4
She is-

my...


>Panel 5
No.


>panel 6
Sakaki-san is someone who will shoulder the kendo world from now on.

A treasure.


>Panel 7
I'd like-

to let her devote herself.

For my part as well--- (Text)


BB pg 090 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Sawamiya-san, you.....


>Panel 3
You really love kendo.

Just as much as Sakaki-san.


>Panel 4
Practising with utmost effort, to the point of risking their life,

both of them have been devoting themselves so that they won't lose to each other, so that they can surpass each other.


>Panel 5
I am....


>Panel 6
Compared to Sawamiya-san,

and Sakaki-san, I........


BB pg 091 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
See you, Tama-chan.

Thank you for today.

Don't be....


>Panel 2
So, your house was a dojo.

How nice... I'm jealous.


>Panel 3
If it's fine with you...


>Panel 4
May I come here again?


>panel 6
Next time,

I'll come with my shinai and armor...


>Panel 7
......Yes...


>Panel 8
Oh?


>Almost Last Panel (NOTE: tsukemono --> Japanese pickled vegetables)
She went home already?

I just wrapped up some tsukemono for her.


BB pg 092 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Is she a friend from school?


>Panel 2
Nuh-uh.

Oh, she's not?


>Panel 3
I felt like I saw her somewhere...

Uuuuumu (text)


>Panel 5
Father.

Hm.


>Panel 6
The dojo......

Will I inherit it someday?


>Panel 7
Haha, unlike in the past, I'm now practising kendo as my hobby.

The dojo is pretty much just in name only.


>Panel 8
You don't need to worry about it, do whatever you wish to do.


>Panel 9
But, I would like you to help me just for a little bit more.

This must be hard for you but I'm sorry.

Nuh-uh.


>Last Panel
Father-

has always been reserved towards me.


BB pg 093 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>panel 1
He's not strict towards me.

He never told me to become strong.


>Panel 2
That's why,

I never thought about getting stronger.


>Panel 3
When you win a match,

you feel happy.


>Panel 4
When you lose,

you feel mortified.


>Panel 5
--------But,


>Last Panel
I have-

no such feelings.

>Bottom Panel
Sensei,

why are you practising kendo?


BB pg 103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Just so you know, even if you ask me, I doubt you can use my answer as a reference.


>Panel 3
Men are such a simple creature.


>Panel 4
They're practising because it's cool, or because they want to get stronger. It's something like that.


>Panel 6
Then... Sensei.


>Panel 7
Sensei,

what do you want me to be?


>Last Panel
.....I want you to grow up.


BB pg 104 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I couldn't-

give any answer.


>Panel 2
I am still immature myself after all.

I couldn't give her a clear suggestion, I only made things harder.


>Panel 3
You have to find the answer yourself.

All I did was running away.


>Panel 5
Whoops.


>Panel 8
Tama...


>panel 9
You see...

the problem it's not what I want you to be...


>Last Panel
I...


BB pg 105 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Oh, you also have a club activity today?

I'm going.


>Panel 4
Tamaki.

Recently, you are...


>Panel 5
Yes.


>panel 9
...Never mind.


>Panel 10
Do your best in the club,

Tamaki.


>Panel 11
Okay.


>panel 12
Ah, // that's right.


>Last Panel
Earlier, there's a package for you.

Umm, the sender is.....

>Panel 1
This time, we will have a chat with a kendoka housewife.


>Panel 2
Kawazoe Tsubaki-san (22)


>Panel 3
What is your goal, Kawazoe-san?


>Panel 5
Why are you-

practising kendo?


>Panel 6
As I am just a novice, people may think that what I'm about to say is too conceited, but......

I am doing my utmost right now in order to convey the ideal to the young ones.


>Panel 7
It is the feeling of gratitude towards kendo.

Fuwah~, what a fine goal.


>Last Panel
Up until now, I have kept on swinging shinai from morning to evening, but-

the more I practice, the more I feel that I just started walking down this unimaginably long path.


BB pg 110 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I don't tell people to the point that kendo will make them successful or healthy.

However, I do believe that conviction towards kendo is the one thing that draws people to kendo.


>Panel 2
I watched people who walked down this path.

If the children who are currently growing up obtained the same conviction as me, I think I could say that my belief holds true.


>Panel 3
The children will then grow up further.

And if they pass that down to the next generation,


>Panel 4
that would mean my kendo will go on ceaselessly.


>Panel 5
That is-

my dream right now.


>Panel 6
Fuwah~ what a magnificent goal---

Now that I said it out loud, it really sounded exaggerated.

But to sum it up, I'd like everyone to enjoy practising kendo.


>Panel 7
I will teach my students about how enjoyable kendo is,

and then my students will teach the students of the next generation how enjoyable kendo is.


>Last Panel
If everyone could be happy that way, then I'm happy myself.


BB pg 111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
Why am I practising kendo?

Fuo? (Text)


>panel 6
That is, of course.....

because I've always loved kendo!


>Panel 7
I wonder about it myself....

And I'm really weak at it.

Strange, isn't it?


>last Panel
I like the kendo's ideal,

I also like looking at people doing practices and matches because they look cool.

I also like to just swing the shinai.


BB pg 112 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I even like sweating from practising kendo,

and the shriek that sounds like a weird bird.

I love everything of kendo, // absolutely everything.


>Panel 2
I guess...

I can't explain it clearly.


>panel 3
Is that so...


>Panel 4
But, it's different now, Tama-chan.


>Panel 6
Right now, I have a crystal clear goal!

I've found it!


>Last Panel
And that is-

to become like you, Tama-chan!


BB pg 113 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
To be just like you, Tama-chan.

I want to become a strong, dignified,

and cool girl!!


>Panel 4
That is-

my dream right now.


>Panel 6+Last
Mother.... (Bubble)

My-

number one goal is------


BB pg 114 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
to become someone like Tama-chan.


>panel 2
to become like Tama-chan.


>Panel 3
to become like Tama-chan--------


>Last Panel

Mother.

Mother...

BB pg 117 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1+2+3
Sensei,

I have found it.


>Panel 4
I have met many people.

I have experienced many things.

I have known many feelings towards kendo.


>Panel 5
And,

I have known what mother had-

entrusted to me.


>Panel 6
I took my time... thinking about it.

I have thought about my first time practising kendo.

About what kendo truly means to me.


>Last Panel
And then,

I have found it.


BB pg 118-119 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to become a teacher.


BB pg 120 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No trans needed


BB pg 121 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Is that-


>Panel 2
as in kendo teacher....?

Or school teacher?


>Panel 3
Um.....

I haven't thought that far yet.


>Panel 4
I....

When I'm practising kendo, what I myself found as the most enjoyable-

was that I could spread the joy to everyone.


>Panel 5
That everyone could enjoy practising kendo by doing it together with me-

was my greatest happiness.


>Panel 6
I am still immature right now.

That's why, I thought I have to improve myself even more, so that I could properly teach kendo to people.


>Last Panel
From now on,

I want to swing the shinai for the sake of that.


BB pg 122 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
I love this kendo club.

I love practising kendo with everyone in the club.


>Panel 2
I admire sensei who is supporting this kendo club.


>Panel 4
I want to become a teacher like Kojiro-sensei.


BB pg 123 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is my goal!


BB pg 124 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Yuuji-kun!


>Panel 3
Let's do it!


>Panel 4
Yep!


>Last Panel
Nobu-chan.

You can drink as much as you want today.

It's my treat.


>Panel 2
Yeah...

Did something good happen today?


>Panel 3
Since I became a teacher.....

No..... it's the happiest time in my entire life.


>Panel 4
Kyaaaaah!


>Last Panel
Meeen!


BB pg 126 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I.....

became a teacher...

and practiced kendo... I'm so happy that I did.....


BB pg 127 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The meaning of your single swing.

All I did may have been just giving her a little chance-----

and everything began because of my own selfishness, but.......


>Panel 4
I managed to guide the path of this one girl.

Tama is the soul of this club.

When Tama changes, the change will naturally and entirely spread to everyone, improving them all.

can go on by themselves.

I'm begging you, Ushimatsu-san.


>Panel 3
You're a genius, aren't you? You can write any kind of script, right?

I refuse!


>Panel 4
An all-female superhero story? You want me to write that kind of story?

Spare me your sleeptalk.


>Panel 5
Please, Ushimatsu-sa~an

You wrote writing Black Duran in the end, didn't you?


>Panel 6
That's just a worthless story wrote by a man.

I don't wanna write anything else besides the man's way of live.


>Panel 7
Sorry, but try someone else.

Go home.

Sensei,

it's starting.


>Panel 3
Uh-huh.


>Panel 4
Come on, leave that for later.

Come're, come're (Text)

Uh, no, my students took the trouble of coming here, so I thought I should make something good...

Eeeh, but it's cool. (Saya text)


>Panel 5
Come, come, have a seat.

Yeah, yeah.

>Panel 1+2
But really, I'm so looking forward to the response of today's broadcast.

It'd be a waste to do this just for one time only.

Let's do a kendo program once again with Erina-chan as the main from the beginning.


>Panel 3
We're planning for it, of course.


>Panel 4
Next time, I'd like to include not just the active kendoka, but also those who still have something left to do back in their school days.

I'm sure there are many people who are thinking that if only they didn't stop, or that if only they tried harder.


>Panel 5
Just like Sawamiya Erina-----


>Panel 6
Aim for all Japan championship...!?


>Panel 7
Even the office wants you to come out there as a kendoka.

Seems like it's earlier than the office's plan, but- // this is the occasion.


>Panel 9
If you wish to deal with it seriously,

I think that's good.


BB pg 135 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 4
Please...

give me some time to think.


>Panel 5
Waaaah!


>Panel 9
Hmph.


>Last Panel
You guys are still young.

No, rather a child.


BB pg 136 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Go and keep on challenging your new self.

Uwaaaah~~~!


>Panel 2
