Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 21

He is known as J, the true leader of the American students and possessor of a fist that can destroy anything! If Otokojuku intends to win their boxing matchups against this destructive boss, all they can do is leave it to Momotarou...

Chp. 21: Mach Fist

70.
J: Traditional Punishment of Annapolis…”Ring of Crime”…!!
Keith: ……………………
Student 1: What is this guy? They’ve taken a strange formation.
Student 2: They’re extremely frightened.
Student 3: Are they standing in a circle for a folk dance?

71.
Keith: Ho…hold on, J………!!
Brian: Can…you be a bit nicer, we’re just unprepared.
J: Your crimes are many for disgracing the glorious and honorable name of Annapolis. I won’t hear your excuses. Your bodies will atone for this.

72.
Americans: Gue!!
First-Year: Wh…what is this guy……!!
J: ………………idiots………!!

73.
J: Are you my opponent for this competition?
Momotarou: Yes.
J: Do you intend to be sprawled out forever? Prepare the sample.
Americans: Un…derstood, J………

74.
J: Let me show you something interesting.
J: This is my training machine.
Student: Wh…what’s that………!?
Onihige: What’s he doing with that monstrous electric fan?
J: I’ll show you. These blades were made into sharp blades, one by one. Turn on the switch.

75.
J: Now in this state, it can smash huge rocks from behind. If it weren’t for the speed of my wonderful fist or see all of the rotating blades, my wrists will fly off.
J: This is my consideration. If you really wanted to fight me, then when I deliver this, you’ll be begging for your life from when you watch close—ly.

76.
Student 1: Hehhehehe, what is this guy? I’d quickly be intimidated if I were in there myself.
Student 2: Well, this is great, this is great. Generally there isn’t a reason that you can do this!!

77.
J: HAAAU!!
Students: !!

78.
J: Well? What are you thinking? You wouldn’t want to throw away your life with your bored spirit.
Momotarou: I applaud you.
Momotarou: As expected, Americans are entertaining. That was a fun circus act.
Momotarou: Our entertainment shouldn’t begin so randomly.
J: …………………!! Hand me my gloves!!

79.
Onihige: So now, we will hold Otokojuku’s famous “Japan-US Friendship Boxing”!!
Student 1: Show him the weight of the head of the Otokojuku first-years---!!
Student 2: Hey Momo, kill that bluffing guy---!!
Edajima: Fufufu, this will be worth it……
Hidemarou: Wi…will Momo be alright…………!!
Student: You idiot, that’s boring worry. Momo doesn’t have reason to lose.
Keith: That idiot will kill the headband guy.
Brian: They really don’t know the anger of J.

80.
Momotarou: Well then, we’ll do this in a bit.
J: It isn’t impossible that Keith and the others lost.
J: But my level is different from them.

81.
Momotarou: !!

82.
Student: Th…there it is: Momo’s favorite: “Seiken Kobushiwari”---!!
(TN: “Seiken Kobushiwari” = “Rule of the Fist – Fist-Splitter”, AKA, the attack that ended up destroying Mick Kong’s hand a couple chapters ago)
Hidemaro: He won’t be able to use his fist anymore!!
J: That’s a really good punch…but you can’t use that on me. I won’t be joining with Kong.
Momotarou: …………………!!

83.
Momotarou: !!
Students: Wh…what--!!
Keith: Fufufu, J’s punch smashes everything in the world.

84.
J: My punches until now were for warming up……I’m become quite warm.
J: How about this?
Momotarou: It disappeared……!!

85.
Momotarou: !!
Otokojuku Audience: MO…MOMO--!!

86.
Momotarou: Well, I expected that you would avoid the vitals.
J: My punch is the “Mach Punch”, which breaks the speed of sound. Even if you see it all, you don’t see it all.
Momotarou: Fufufu, it’s an amazing punch as you said.
Students: ……………!!
Momotarou: How about if I didn’t see it……

87.
Students: MO…MOMO--!!
Edajima: Fufufu, he revived from a fatal situation; and has a chance with his mind’s eye…………
Hikouboshi: What’s that…!?
Edajima: In the early days of the Edo period, Fujii Ittousai Munesada, an uncommon swordsman, was said to have mastered “Shinganken”, a secret within the secrets of swordsmanship which can perfectly see all movements within an opponent’s heart, by stabbing out both of his own eyes…
(TN: “Shinganken” literally stands for “mind’s eye sword”, whereas “Shingan” is the “mind’s eye” as stated in the previous area. Meanwhile, I still think somehow that “Fujii Ittousai Munesada” is something akin to “Munesada of the Fujii One-Blade Temple”, but “Ittousai” is a name so I keep it as is for this time)
Helmet: What an idiot.
J: Fufufu, this guy is funny with his mystery of the Orient………
Momotarou: Head of the first-years of Otokojuku, Tsurugi Momotarou…let’s go.

TN: Though the chapter is essentially the beginning of the main matchup between J and Momo, this felt more like set-up than it actually did feel like the fight itself. It was fun though seeing J knocking down his entire team and destroying the fan machine as well as Momotarou begin his set-up for the Shinganken...but most of the really cool stuff isn't until next time.
