Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 91

Ki: the lifeforce of all living creatures, vital to survive, yet deadly if learned how to manipulate in battle. And as the climactic Paaren Seiha fight heats up, Momotarou may show just how deadly directly towards Jaki!

Chp. 91: Attack with Spirit!
(TN: The title refers to “kihaku”, which is Japanese for “spirit”, but uses the “ki” that is connected to the kanji to the energy force Momo is using at this point as opposed to the typical “ki” in Japanese)

110.
Tazawa: I…don’t believe this………!!
Matsuo: That cloth bandana has sliced Jaki’s fist…
Wan Taaren: There…it is, it’s truly Kikou Touhou. He instantly sent ki into his bandana.

111.
Jaki: I was unprepared…There has never been anyone that has made blood flow out of my body…you’re the first.
Momotarou: We don’t have the time to enjoy a conversation. The lives of fifty of my classmates are depending on me.
Jaki: Nuu!!

112.
Momotarou: HA--!!

113.
Jaki: GU!!
Tazawa: You’re…amazing, Momo—you’re…beating him by putting ki to your bandana again---!!
Matsuo: G…go---! In that way---!!

114.
Jaki: SHINKUU SENPUUSHOU!!

115.
Tazawa: Mo…Momo---!!
Matsuo: He…got him---! He directly took Jaki’s special Senpuushou technique right in the chest---!!

116.
First-Years: Huh!?
Momotarou: KIKOU TOUHOU: KENSAI TAIKOU!! Now you can’t use your Senpuushou!!
(TN: “Kensai Taikou” = “Tough Stronghold Body Achievement”)

117.
First-Year 1: Wh…what—he didn’t even leave a bruise on Momo’s chest---!!
First-Year 2: Wh…what exactly is going on---!!
Edajima: He defended by concentrating the ki in his body to a point of his chest. His chest was turned into an iron plate for a moment.
Wan Taaren: But to command his ki to that place…!! What exactly is he…!?

118.
Momotarou: HA--!!
Jaki: !!

119.
Momotarou: You were saved by your protector………………come! Let’s end this match at once.
Jaki: Fu, why should we hurry our match!? The great scale hasn’t fallen yet. So then, do you have some other reason!?
First-Year 1: Wh…what destructive power! He put ki into his fist and smashed Jaki’s arm protector to pieces----!!
First-Year 2: With that, he can take down Jaki with one blow---!!
First-Year 3: Good, Momo---! You’ve already taken this match!!
Edajima: Fu, are they idiots……They don’t understand anything.
Edajima: Do they really think this thing called “ki” is such a convenient thing that it can inexhaustibly be used forever? I can’t even guess the strength he’s consumed if he’s used that much ki.
Edajima: Though on the other hand, Jaki’s ki is rapidly being polished.
Akashi: Jaki’s ki………!!

120.
(Looks like a stalemate so far)

121.
Momotarou: You’re cornered, there’s nothing left! The next strike will be the match.
Jaki: I’m cornered………….!? This is match………who are you saying this to?
Jaki: Come! Daigouin Jaki, the head of the Otokojuku Third-Years, won’t be defeated by your fist.
Edajima: …………
Tazawa: Heh, why is he being a sore loser!!
Matsuo: Take him down at once, Momo---!!

122.
Momotarou: NUUU---!!

123.
Momotarou: !!
Tazawa: He…did it---!!
Matsuo: Momo’s bare hand has squarely gone through Jaki---!!

124.
First-Year 1: He’s won, Momo’s won---!! L…look! At all that blood that’s flowing down to the ground!!
First-Year 2: The Daiishin Paaren Seiha is a perfect victory for us 1sts---!!
Tazawa: Ho…hold on.
Hidemaro: !?
Tazawa: So…something seems strange.
Hidemaro: Hu~~h!?
Matsuo: Wh….what’s so strange………!?

125.
Matsuo: WH…WHAT---!! N…no! Mo…Momo’s fist didn’t go through Jaki! Momo’s fist is smashed!!
Momotarou: Th…this is………!! Kikou Touhou: Kensai Taikou!!
Jaki: Correct: the technique that protected you from my Senpuushou earlier. And that’s not all: look closer at your body……!!

126.
Voice: Huh!! He…head hair has stabbed Momo’s body---!!
Momotarou: Uuh.

127.
Jaki: Fu, you won’t move: you can get up all you want, but you won’t be able to get up from your immobile paralysis at all. With my ki in those four hairs from my head, I instantly turned them into wires and have paralyzed your motion ganglia of your limbs.
Momotarou: Jaki……You know Kikou Touhou too…………!!
Jaki: You’ve realized it too late. You’re not the only one who has mastered ki!
Jaki: DIE---!!

TN: There's always a dangerous factor when fighting in a match like such: just because you know how to do something that makes you skilled...doesn't mean your enemy doesn't know how to use it too! Remember back to Rasetsu's darkness maneuver: he knew how to do it, but Date knew how to do it better. (though I rather suppress that later part of that fight if I could) Though the fact that Jaki knows about Kikou Touhou isn't that surprising being the ultimate martial artist of Otokojuku, the way that he used it so easily on Momo after being blasted by it and being deceived by it by his opponent is what made it even more of the surprise. (and he still has a few tricks regarding that) But the weird thing is we probably could have been warned of this in the previous chapter: when the "commentary" explained about a martial artist turning his own hair into wires, we probably could have suspected this would happen...but I guess we were so enamored by Momo's bandanna maneuver that it couldn't come across in our minds...
