Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 60

With his back against a virtual wall and blood raining on the battlefield, J has little options left to take down Manjimaru's considerable advantage! But as his fists continue to fly, the First-Year may still have a trump card left...

Chp. 60: The Legendary Flash Piston Punch

69.
Togashi: It…stopped…………
Toramaru: The…rain of blood stopped………
Toramaru: Uh……!! What exactly is happening above us---!!
Togashi: J--!!

70.-71.
(Yep…that’s what’s happening above)

72.
Manjimaru: It was simultaneous…………If either of our fists went one centimeter deeper, that would have been match!

73.
J: !!
Manjimaru: So then, I’ve underrated your power.
Manjimaru: In that case, it could come to not being able to fight when my desperation runs out too. The seriousness I’ve done until now has is starting in you………………
(TN: Really confused by this line but it sounds like that Manjimaru’s “serious effort and power” is being done by J now)

74.-75.
Manjimaru: MOURYOUKEN: GENMYOU JUUSHINHAKU!!
(TN: “Genmyou Juushinhaku” = “Dark Illusion: Ten Dispatched Bodies”)
J: !!
J: HUH……!!

76.
J: ……………………!!
J: WHAT IS THIS………!!

77.
J: Uh!?
J: !!
J: They’re all illusions……!!
J: Chi!!

78.
Manjimaru: Fu, they’re not just illusions.
J: Guo!!
J: Right……!! With his nimble movements, he can create afterimages that confuse the eyes. Among the ten, one is real and the others are virtual…How can I find the real one……!!

79.
Manjimaru: This match is already over. You can struggle, but you can’t win.
Manjimaru: !?

80.
Manjimaru: ………………………………What is he planning!? He’s personally thrown away his bear knuckles, his only weapon…Is he abandoning the match……!?
Toramaru: Uh!?
Toramaru: Wh…what~~…………!? J’s knuckle has fallen down.
Togashi: He doesn’t have any remaining and this one is perfect. What exactly is going on----!!

81.
Momotarou: ………………
Date: What’s wrong, Momo!?
Momotarou: It can’t be: J is using that punch…………
Date: That punch…………!?
Momotarou: It was around a month after the “Kyoura Daiyon Kyousatsu” ended……

82.
Momotarou: Fufufu, you’re showing your skill every morning, J. What reason is this training?
J: Momo…you’ve come at a perfect time.
J: This is a device where five eggs on top of that rack will fall simultaneously when I pull the string. Do you mind pulling this?
Momotarou: ……………………
Momotarou: Here we go.

83.
Momotarou: Fufufu, as expected. He sent out five punches in an instant……………!!
J: The Flash Piston Punch………in the 1950s, Ronnie Panpusher, called a legendary champion prided for being invincible and lossless, used this same device in a challenge to break ten eggs. But at the time, he tore up his arm muscles in an instant, cutting his life as a boxer.

(TN: Don’t look him up, he’s a fictional boxer created for this series)
J: To send out ten punches in 0.7 seconds…that would surpass the limit of the body possessed by humans.
Momotarou: If you could, could you do ten eggs, J………!?
J: Could I…...but whether I could break them or not, I’m certain that I couldn’t use my fist ever again.
Momotarou: Fufufu, I could only wish that day doesn’t come.

84.
Toramaru: So…so then, if he attacks with that punch, J won’t ever again…………
Togashi: Boxing is his life. To not be able to box would be the same as his death.
Momotarou: However, he certainly would use it on a person who can’t be stopped by anyone. Even if he threw his life away, he won’t throw away his pride……………
Momotarou: HE’S THAT SORT OF MAN! HE IS………!!
Manjimaru: Well then, you’re using the legendary F.P.P….even by throwing away your knuckles, it’s so you can quicken the speed of your fist even a bit…
(TN: F.P.P. = Flash Piston Punch, obviously)

85.
Manjimaru: Interesting…instead of looking for the true form, you’ll defeat it along with my virtual selves together with one blow! However, a legend to the end is a legend. That punch doesn’t exist in this world.
Toramaru: St…stop~~J----!! If you fire that punch, you won’t be able to box again--!!
Manjimaru: LET’S GO

86.-87.
Manjimaru: Uh, it can’t be………!!
J: FLASH PISTON MACH PUNCH---!!

TN: Considering how much fiction existed in Otokojuku, I actually thought when translating that the inventor of the Flash Piston Punch actually existed...but of course, it's just another imaginary character invented by Miyashita for the explanation of the series' absurdities. Didn't stop it from being incredibly cool, but it is something that made me think for a moment. Though the way that J was forced to use it while Manjimaru unleashed his doppelganger attack was just ideal...maybe the whining of "he'll never be able to box again" got on my nerves, but that's mostly typical shonen risks...which always get broken in this series.
