Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 129

Raiden has finally dealt with the three monkeys, but now there is a new problem: the monkey-master Enpou! And with him angry over the loss of his servants, Enpou is not going down without a fight!

Chp. 129: Tenacity for Revenge!!

107.
Toramaru: He…did it--!! As expected, Sanmenken Raiden destroyed those monster monkeys---!
Togashi: At this rate, he’ll defeat their monkey-training boss too---!!
Enpou: Do you understand…....!! My feelings of losing those three, which I raised just like my children…………! The way to cure my boiling anger and sorrow is only through your blood.
Raiden: Battles are always heartless things…………you should come; you can’t run and hide from Raiden!!

108.
(Title Page…yeah, I do feel sorry for Enpou but this is a battle…and the monkeys did have killer intent)

109.
Gandhara Priests: Haha---!!
Gandhara High Priest: Fu………that Enpou, is it alright that he’s become greatly heated!?
Ryuuhou: This naturally seemed inevitable for Enpou with his monkey-using Sanen Yousoujutsu……when he uses his own body; he will come to show his true terror!!

110.
Raiden: …………!!
Toramaru: N~~~!? What’s that~~~!! Those underlings came out holding two stupidly-long poles at Enpou’s signal---!!
Enpou: Right!! That’s fine…………! Step away.

111.
Toramaru: Wh…what---!! What is he planning---! The poles are suddenly set-up in the center of the battleground--!!
Togashi: Even so, they’ve extremely carefully set them in underground---!!
Enpou: Originally, this unusual technique can show it’s true worth when in mountain forests or bamboo thickets…………………This shall be enough for this level plain!!

112.
Enpou: This will be a good traveling tale when you head to the other side!!
(TN: While usually “meido” can be used as “Hades”, the kanji as presented here is presented as the Buddhist representation of “the other world” or “the other side”, thus this context)
Enpou: HERE WE GO: GANDHARA HIOUGI: CHUUBAKUKA!!
(TN: “Chuubakuka” = “Air-Binding Mount”)
Raiden: !!

113.
Raiden: Nu!!
Enpou: Ha!!

114.
Toramaru: Uo---!! Wh…what is th…that---!
Togashi: Th…that monkey priest is using the top of the pole as a fulcrum, moving back and forth like the pendulum of a clock and attacking with tremendous speed---!!

115.
Enpou: Kukkukku, even if you escape, it’s useless: making use of gyration, this Chuubakuka has no blind spot!!
Toramaru: A…mazing!! He did a round-trip attack without losing a breath---!
Togashi: He’s moving so agilely; by just him attacking, there is no opening to attack!!
Date: No, don’t worry: Raiden is the possessor of the greatest first-class taijutsu of the Sanmenken……!!
Senkuu: Right: he’s not even perturbed by that attack, dealing with it calm, cool and collectively.
Momotarou: However, my worry is the other pole standing in the ground that he isn’t using…………!! What exactly is it for…………!?

116.
Enpou: Kukkukku, it will be fine soon. Let me show you: the true meaning of Gandhara Hiougi: Chuubakuka!!
Enpou: What………!! The true meaning…………!?

117.
Enpou: Kukkukku, haven’t you realized it yet? Why I’ve been persistent until now in repeating my attack from high in the sky…!! This was so I could help you move to the center of the two poles.
Raiden: Huh!?
Raiden: Nu!!

118.
Raiden: NUO!!

119.
Raiden Ugu!!
Toramaru: Wh…what---!!
Togashi: Ra…Raiden is being strangled by the rope from the poles on both sides of him, becoming suspended mid-air---!!

120.
Enpou: Kukkukku, I’ve caught you. This is the final aim of Gandhara Hiougi: Chuubakuka…!! Already you cannot escape from that stance; it won’t come off even if you move about!!
Enpou: The rope that’s twined around your neck has weaken the strength of your supporting arms; if you let go with even one hand, the rope will strangle you with the elasticity of the bent pole, making you strangle to death within an instant. This pain……its origin is as a method of torture towards criminals in ancient China.
Raiden: Guku!!
Enpou: Just that won’t kill you. Even while using that technique, you will be teasingly killed bit by bit so I can clear away my anger and sorrow for my killed monkeys.

121.
Enpou: How far can you endure this!! First I curse you for Kikazaru!
Raiden: Gunu!!

122.
Toramaru: RA…RAIDEN--!!
Togashi: Wh…what is this guy: that monkey priest plans to teasingly kill the unmoving Raiden as he said---!!
Enpou: Otto!!
Enpou: Next is the curse of Iwazaru…!!

123.
Raiden: GUWA!!
Enpou: You’re quite stubborn. But then, to die so easily won’t clear away my feelings.
Enpou: Next is Mizaru’s turn………!! I shall gorge out your eyes so I can clear his regrets.
Toramaru: N…no--!! He really can’t avoid his fist from that stance---!
Togashi: At this rate, Ra…Raiden’s eyes will certainly be destroyed---!!

124.
Enpou: This is my revenge---!!
Raiden: DAIOUJOU-RYUU OUGI: SHIKOUSHIN!! The essence of my Daioujou-ryuu is to well train every inch of my body, from my hair to my toenails, making them into weapons at my own will!!
(TN: “Shikoushin” = “Insinuated Mustache Needle”)
Enpou: Huh!?

125.
Enpou: Th…that’s……!! He trained the tips of his mustaches into needles……!
Raiden: Why couldn’t you end this instantly!! You’re a fool who has dishonored a match where we bet our honor and lives as men.
Raiden: I shall give a peaceful death to you!!

TN: It's sort of weird: just when I thought that Hanage Shinken in Bo-bobo had one of it's origin back with Chidou Taishi of Rouroukan...Raiden decides to use his mustache in combat. Yeah, it's just his mustache being used like "needles", but it feels just like a Hanage Shinken maneuver...and a mustache is sort of close to being nosehair anyway, being between the nose and the lip in it's position. But hey, once again we see another reason why you can't just throw any of the Otokojuku opponents away so easily: Enpou's usage of the poles to force Raiden into that position to have the most tortured death imaginable is sick but somewhat appropriate for someone who is grieving over the loss of loyal followers...yeah they were monkeys but they still were loyal and you can sort of understand Enpou's grief amidst his horrific ways of showing it. Of course, this is all just set-up for the big finish next time...
