Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 131

With two of the Sanpousei down, Gandhara is on the verge of collapse with their Otokojuku showdown! But as they try to figure out where to go next, someone on Otokojuku's side is preparing to re-enter the ring to take them down!

Chp. 131: Kyosou Zanbakufu!!

147.
Gandhara High Priest: Fu, continuing from Gyuuhou, they’ve killed even that Enpou…as general of the Gandhara Sanpousei, how do you intend to deal with this?
Ryuuhou: Ittou Hyahhou……!! Attack a hundred enemies for the defeat of one, repaying for their death: that is the law of Gandhara……!! I, Ryuuhou, will show you by setting up for your Excellency the heads of all of Otokojuku.
(TN: Considering Ryuuhou does translate the meaning of “Ittou Hyahhou”, I kept it as is for the expression to be followed by the meaning)

148.
(Title page…yeah, it’s Date, people will die)

149.
Togashi: Ooh—Raiden, that was a magnificent victory. As expected for just managing the Otokojuku Sanmenken!!
Toramaru: There’s still quite the bleeding on his fist. Hien, please quickly get him treated!!
Toramaru: However, it was great that he saved those monkeys---!!
Togashi: Well, it’s because they say monkeys are vengeful. They may forget their gratitude someday and come back as enemies. Should we bring an end to them---!!
Raiden: There’s no need to. It’s as it was said long ago: I will not chase those who are monkeys…!!
(TN: This is actually a strange pun that Raiden comes up with that’s based off an old Japanese expression. The expression fully in Japanese is “Kuru mono wa kobamazu; saru mono wa owazu”, which fully translates as “I will not reject those who come, I will not chase those who leave”. Raiden speaks the last part, but the “saru” he is speaking, which originally stood for the “leaving” part, can also be translated as “monkey”. Thus, by fully translating it like that, it leads to the little joke Raiden is making, going from “I will not chase those who are leaving” to “I will not chase those who are monkeys”)
Toramaru: Wh…what was that n…now………!! It…can’t be……
Togashi: Th…that Raiden th…threw out a gag……!!
Toramaru: Th…that makes it all fine!! It’s our turn---!
Togashi: Right: as is, we’ve done a position of just being surprised; we really won’t come to have our turn!!
Voice: Correct: you two won’t have a turn!!

150.
Togashi & Toramaru: WH…WHAT---!! DA…DATE---!
Date: My body has become dulled as well: I will face off against the remaining Sanpousei.
Momotarou: Don’t be unprepared, Date…This is the Gandhara fist, said to be legendary…as is, it’s slender that I can’t help thinking they’re opponents you can win against.
Date: Right……!!

151.
Toramaru: Ho…hold on, Date---!! We…we won’t have a turn---!
Togashi: Do…don’t joke with us: have we already gone around the battle order yet!! Are…we players filling vacancies---!!
Hien: Please hold on you two.
Togashi: Wh…what, Hien, you too---!!
Hien: How about this: the fights that are occurring on this battleground are still the preliminary leagues of the Daibukai. You two are trump cards being reserved for the final tournament……!! In short, you’re secret weapons.
Toramaru: Uh……!! W…we’re tr…trump-cards………!
Togashi: And…we’re secret weapons…………!!
Hien: If there’s a chance for our trump cards, will you take it?
Togashi & Toramaru: O…oh, of…of course.
Toramaru: Yosshaa: leave the Finals League of Tenchou Gorin Daibukai to us---!!
Togashi: Date, this match is being given to you---!!
Gekkou: ………………

152.
Gandhara Priest: Please hold on, Ryuuhou-dono!!
Gandhara Priest: All of us know that your strength is enough; that with the power you have, you certainly will kill off everyone at Otokojuku!! However with that, we can’t oppose our honor as warriors of Gandhara!!
Gandhara Priest: Please present to us a place in this battle!!
Ryuuhou: ………………………

153.
Ryuuhou: Fine then, do as you want.
Gandhara Priest: Right, we are graciously happy!! We shall fully show him the terror of the Gandhara Shuugou Kassatsujutsu!!
(TN: “Shuugou Kassatsujutsu” = “Gathering Life-or-Death Technique”)
Gandhara High Priest: Fu, I understand…………!! They’re going to fight ahead so you can measure your opponent’s true power.
Ryuuhou: In the methods of battle, knowing the power of the enemy is a rudimentary problem…………!! Those Enpou and Gyuuhou were off their guard with them……!!

154.-155.
Date: !!
Toramaru: Wh…what is th…that---!!
Togashi: A crowd of Gandhara guys are coming out carrying a terribly long spear-like item---!!

156.
Date: ……………My opponent isn’t one of the Sanpousei?
Gandhara Priest: We don’t need to trouble the skills of Ryuuhou for someone like you. With this Kongousou, your body will be split in two!!
(TN: “Kongousou” = “Gold Sturdy Spear” or “Kongou/Vajra Spear”; the “Kongou” in the name is also in reference to the term of “kongou”, which can be translated into “Vajra” (a type of indestructible substance) or a concept of Buddhism of the “indestructible truth”)
Baron Dino: The Kongousou……!? How are they going to fight with that long, heavy spear?
Momotarou: Hmm, with that, they’ll just be slow in attacking without making a move!!

157.
Gandhara Priests: HAIYA---!!

158.
Gandhara Priests: THIS IS GANDHARA HIOUGI: KYOSOU ZANBAKUFU!!
(TN: “Kyosou Zanbakufu” = “Giant-Spear Murdering-Waterfall Ax”)

159.
Togashi: Wh…what--!! Lo…look, th…that’s---!!
Toramaru: On…top of putting together a horse to ride, they’ve created a human scaffold so they could life that huge spear---!!
Gandhara Priest: LET’S GO---!!

160.
Gandhara Preists: Nuu---!!

161.
Gandhara Priest: Wh…what…………!! He…matched the Kongousou with the tip of a spear…………!
Date: This technique is just a bluff similar to child’s play. Do you think you can defeat Date Omito with this!!
Gandhara Priest: Y…you………!! Th…this Kyosou Zanbakufu is ch…child’s play……………!!

162.
Gandhara Priests: Ooh!?
Gandhara Priest: !!
Gandhara Priest: GE!!

163.
Gandhara Priest: Ugagagagaga!! He’s….breaking my neck bo…bone……!!
Date: All of you aren’t a match for me. As is, that Ryuuhou guy is using all of you as sacrificial stones, futily appearing to measure my skill……!!
Gandhara Priest 1: Uoo--!! We’ll…defeat you---! Wh…what are you doing up…there---!!
Gandhara Priest: Nugaa---!!

164.
Date: HAKYOKU-RYUU: CHIHOUJIN!!
(TN: Reminder: “Chihoujin” = “Thousand-Peak Dust”)
Gandhara Priests: !!

165.
Gandhara Priest 1: Na!!
Gandhara Priest 2: Hi!!
Gandhara Priest 3: Gu!!
Gandhara Priest 4 & 5: Guha!!
Gandhara Priests: Hiee---!!
Date: Come out here, Sanpousei Ryuuhou………..!! Let me tell you this: my true power is best to fully ascertain with your own eyes.

TN: Well I have to leave it to this series: considering that the destruction of the rest of Gandhara's forces was in some ways similar to the destruction of the rest of Olympus, at least it shows they were under different circumstances. When Olympus blew apart, Zeus just wanted to get rid of them knowing Jaki was going to destroy them all. But with Gandhara getting destroyed, it's mostly for Ryuuhou's sick research seeing how Otokojuku took out the rest of the team. But hey, it's Date so it's not like they were going to last long anyway. On the other hand, Togashi and Toramaru stole the chapter for what they didn't do: by finally thinking they are the trump cards being saved for the finals brackets (yeah I know it was Hien who said it and probably had to do with his popularity but he probably was the most normal one to really say it), it shut them up about taking part in the preliminaries. Yeah, it was a fun running gag and probably won't end even when the finals begins, but at least Togashi and Toramaru have a chance to keep calm and not worry regardless of what Date, Ryuuhou...and the leader of Gandhara pulls!
