Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 71

Though Senkuu may respect his first opponent Hien, the same such respect isn't being given towards his second opponent Togashi! But can the fast-thinking First-Year find a way to win without any style and with his guts alone!?

Chp. 71: Rikuke Ougi Has No Blind Spot
(TN: Considering it’s the name of the style and not just “Secret of Rikuke”, I made the title as such)

81.
Togashi: I….I, well……do…don’t know these tactful things that are kenpou, but in a murderous brawl, I’m not licking salt once.
(TN: Not really sure what Togashi is saying, but I assume he’s commenting that “once he’s brawling, he’s not going to be the one going down, even if he doesn’t know kenpou)
Togashi: Nuoo---!!

82.
Togashi: Uorya---!!
Toramaru: Th…that’s great, Togashi!! That Senkuu can’t get away easily from that stance. Like that, you can throw him into the sulfur nitric-acid tray---!!
Togashi: I knew that even if you hadn’t said it!

83.
Togashi: Hien, this is settlement for you---!!

84.
Togashi: !!
Senkuu: Haiya---!!

85.
Senkuu: So this is Togashi? Somehow I’ve been seeing you naively. You’ve taken a leg away from me…………!!
Senkuu: But here’s where I bring the true essence of the murderous first of Rikuke.
Toramaru: Heh, wh…what is he bluffing about? Having a leg hurt meants he won’t be able to move like he had until now, regardless of being a kenpou master.
Wan Taaren: That Senkuu is a terrible man. Will he finally show his many secrets…………

86.
Togashi: Huh!?
Senkuu: RIKUKE OUGI: YOUCHOU SHOUJIN!!
(TN: “Youchou Shoujin” = “Dancing Leaping Heel Blade”)
Toramaru: Wh…what? Blades are emerging from Senkuu’s legs----!!

87.
Togashi: Uh!!
Togashi: Uo!!

88.
Togashi: Gufu!!
Senkuu: You can’t escape!!

89.
Togashi: Wh…what a terrible attack. By his circular movement as if he’s flowing, he can send out his blades without even a momentary opening!! The only means for a person to knock it down is to attack from above.
Togashi: Keee---!!
Senkuu: Fu, so you’ve seemed to come to that too…………However, Rikuke Ougi has no blind spots…………!! Everyone dies thinking the same thing.
Togashi: Huh……!!

90.
Togashi: Guga!!
Togashi: HUH!?
Senkuu: RIKUKE OUGI: RETSUJOU KOUSHI!!
(TN: “Retsujou Koushi” = “Violent Surrounding Descent to Death”)

91.
Togashi: !!
Togashi: Uoo---!!
Toramaru: Wh…what is that technique---!!

92.
Senkuu: You have good luck, falling onto a Kaiun Rock………But, this match will be quickly over.

93.
Toramaru: He’s collapsed----!! To…Togashi, wake up---!!
Senkuu: ……………………Stubborn man…………as you’ve said, you’re truly a great one with merely your brawling guts.

94.
Senkuu: A dosu he’s prepared to extend at will……but he doesn’t understand yet that he can’t win against me even with a longer dosu.
Senkuu: !?
Toramaru: Wh…what, Togashi has started to climb the rope……………!?

95.
Togashi: …………………………Can’t you show me that Retsujou Koushi once more?
Senkuu: Fu, that seems to be quite suitable. I don’t know what sort of stomach you have, but I’ll take your challenge.
Toramaru: Wh…what is he intending? That Togashi, is he planning to attack him from above again………..
Date: No attack will get through to that Senkuu. Taking the Retsujou Koushi again will throw him into the sulfur-nitric acid tray this time!!
Momotarou: Togashi, you can’t be………!!

96.
Togashi: LET’S GO---!!
Senkuu: You fool…………
Senkuu: Ha!!

97.
Senkuu: I’ve got you: Retsujou Koushi!!
Momotarou: St…stop, stop this Togashi----!!

98.-99.
Togashi: I’ve got you, Senkuu…………!!
Senkuu: !?
Togashi: I don’t lose in my brawls. You’ve joining me in hell, too!!
Togashi: Goodbye, everyone!
Togashi: DO YOU SEE—THIS IS THE TRUE WORTH OF KENKA SAPPOU-----!!

TN:......He fell for it. Only Togashi would think of something so silly yet so simple and powerful that could take out Senkuu, using his own attack against him in a classic suicide maneuver! Though one wonders where exactly he suddenly got an "extending dosu", it did it's job perfectly in breaking through the both of them sending them both to their deaths...but then again that's what Togashi does best: sacrificing himself for the win regardless of his own health and regardless of just figuring things out on the fly! He's no J or Momo but that's what makes him who he is. Regardless, the chapter prior to Togashi's brilliant ender was great, considering that Senkuu just showed his ruthlessness amidst his own interests and concerns and showed that his "Rikuke Ougi" is almost impenetrable. (the key being almost) But of course...technique means nothing when you fight Togashi, pure and simple! (I'd say he's a much better version of Yamcha...but considering Yamcha had his own style and studied the same bland techniques as Goku to no avail, then you can't really say that...besides, Togashi's way cooler)
