The Dreadful Scorpion Match!!
-> RTS Page for Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 166
Momo has accepted a showdown with Anubis in a sand pit where deadly scorpions lurk to seal death for either of them! But who is going to get stung by this deadly showdown method first?
Chp. 166: The Dreadful Scorpion Match!!
127.
Anubis: Nuu!!
128.
(Title Page…yeah, a scorpion is coming between Momo and Anubis)
129.
Toramaru: Pa…pay attention, Mo…Momo---!! Un…underfoot---!
Togashi: The…they’re fighting on…top of sand hidden with poisonous scorpions; this really is such a terrible match---!!
Anubis: If you want to run, you should run. But if your foot steps even a step outside the sand-zone, that means your defeat.
Momotarou: Fu, you’re saying that thing looking at an opponent. With that, I return to you your speech.
130.
Momotarou: !!
Momotarou: Ku!!
Togashi: Aah!! Mo…Momo has stabbed a scorpion---!!
Anubis: Fufu: I say that’s one demerit. But you should be relieved: as I spoke of earlier, the scorpions bring death to a person the first time they’re stabbed three times.
131.
Anubis: This is the terror of the Gloom of Luxor and it brings me enjoyment.
Anubis: !!
Anubis: Uh!!
132.
Anubis: Guku!!
Momotarou: Fu: with that, it’s a tie, 1 to 1.
Anubis: Chii!!
133.
Toramaru: He…did it---!! Anubis has been stabbed by a scorpion too---!
Anubis: Kuu!!
134.
Anubis: Nuaa!!
Anubis: Ha!!
Anubis: Uoo!!
Anubis: Y…you………!!
Momotarou: That’s two demerits. You’re reaching your death already.
Toramaru: A…amazing, Momo~~~!! That Anubis guy is cornered at once~~~!
Togashi: Wahhahaha: you shouldn’t be at that state while setting up that big challenge---!! Hey you, do you know who you’re fighting---!! The general of Otokojuku---!
135.
Anubis: ………………It seems I’ve underrated your power.
Anubis: Your swordsmanship is just dreadful, quickly seizing the intuition of a battle in the sand. You’re handling this easily, moving with minimal foot-judgment that doesn’t irritate the scorpions……That’s surely a skill that isn’t ordinary.
Anubis: In that case, I’ll win by dispatching this.
136.-137.
Anubis: P – S OUGI: IRON-HORSE STEP-STORM OF NEBKHAT
(TN: Three matters:
“Nebkhat no Tetsuba Juuran” = “Iron-Horse Step-Storm of Nebkhat”
“Nebkhat” is also known as Nephthys, a goddess known as the “useful goddess” and the nursemaid of the Pharaoh, just like she was nursemaid to god Horus.
Yeah...I know it doesn't work unless it's in Japanese but I'm trying to keep consistant for the Pharaoh Sphinx fighters at this point)
Momotarou: !!
Toramaru: Wh…what: th…those are st…stilts!!
Togashi: Th…that Anubis: he’s on large stilts with blades attached---!!
138.
Anubis: Fufu, stilts…………………!? I don’t know that word; in my land they’re called “Belem”.
Anubis: Originally they’re things used to protect the body from carnivorous fish and blood-sucking leeches hidden in the water when crossing a river.
Anubis: We’ve improved them over time, perfecting them as the ultimate battleground weapon for we sand people.
Momotarou: Fu, understood. With those, you may be able to protect from the scorpions underfoot. But in my country, they’re children’s toys.
139.
Anubis: You fool……………your scorn will be atoned with your blood.
Momotarou: !!
140.
(Yeah…he’s fighting with his stilts…that’s Otokojuku for you)
141.
Anubis: Wahahaha: what’s wrong, you’re just running here and there!!
Anubis: Realize the terror of this Iron-Horse Step-Storm!!
Toramaru: Lo…look---!! Th…those stilts have a…tremendous consecutive attack; th…that’s the movement of the stilts---!
Raiden: It’s a terrible technique; it’s self-evident truth that there is victory by attacking from the upper-level in a competition; adding this in, though it’s even Tsurugi, he can’t get to turn for defense.
142.
Anubis: Fu, if you’re cornered as such, then in time you’ll be prey for the scorpions.
Anubis: Even so, I want to erase the dew on these Belem’s leg-blades.
Momotarou: KU!!
143.
Momotarou: Gufu!!
Toramaru: Mo…Momo~~!!
144.
Anubis: Fufu: that makes us 2-2 in scorpion poison!!
Anubis: But as long as I have these Belem, your victory is an idle thing; there isn’t even a chance of victory for you!!
Momotarou: Fu…that’s not it. Stilts are stilts after all; I’ll teach you now that they don’t surpass children’s toys.
Anubis: Huh…!?
Anubis: !!
145.
Momotarou: Let me show you Hishou Kakusuiken!! You should make this a traveling tale as you go to Hell!
(TN: “Hishou Kakusuiken” = “Informed-Secret Crane-Sinker Sword”)
TN: Yeah...they're just stilts. Stilts with blades on them that can slash at you and drive you into a corner...but still just stilts. But of course...this being Otokojuku, stilts are a deadly weapon. (then again everything can be a deadly weapon in this insane universe). This actually was a really exciting chapter with the fluid battle between Momo and Anubis considering they are fighting in a pit of deadly scorpions...but with it two-vs.-two and Momo on one sword compared to Anubis' stilts, this probably may or may not end well.
BTW: am I the only one who just likes Raiden's increased role as of late as sort of the third, serious commentator to Togashi and Toramaru's outrage and excitement?

Back on topic. I can't say i was impressed by Anubis. I mean that's Momo, he knows almost every type of fighting style including the rouroukan manipulating pebbles :D. Other than that yes, stilts were interesting...
Laiden was always there to make a witty remark. He seems the most knowledgable, especially in Chinese Ken/m/po (is there any other style at all?). I never liked the fact that Raiden was considered the weakest of Date's group, or maybe he was just first to fight J and i misunderstood.
And i don't entirely agree with the fact that Togashi and Toramaru are depicted as idiots, but oh well i guess it's typical... In order to have someone smarter you have to have someone who's less smart...
I always had a heart for Raiden due to feeling like a more traditional martial artist compared to the rest of the Gogakuren fighters. Meanwhile, the fact that he becomes the knowledgeable one of all these weird kenpou gives him an extra role instead of merely just being "the statues" that always seem to be in the background. That...and he fought monkeys.
And...yeah, you may think Anubis isn't much but it's just funny that he's fighting...on stilts.
Wow you can't forget the fight between Raiden "monkey man" and the monkeys, can you :D? One of the major problems of the series is that characters aren't well developed. I don't mean only regarding their origins and stories... I mean that every fight (excet Togashi and probably Toramaru, but Togashi is VERY unique) ends in the same way - the good guy manages to outwit or outsmart the enemy. So we basically have one character fighting diff opponents, and the only way one can tell the diff is by looking at charactes' appearance and fighting style. I hope you get what i mean, but for me Raiden is just another Senkuu or Gekkou, just diff appearance... Togashi is totally different cause he uses his guts to fight and doesn't need a style. Maybe J has to be included in the list of unique characters as well (not counting Edajima). I meant to say that Miyashita should have created some way to distinguish chars - for example Date could of been the MUSCLE character, Raiden - the fast character, Momo - the smart, who addapts to every situation. As it is now, like i said, all fights (or 99 percent of them) end in the same way...
And Baron Dino...remember how he was introduced: he looked like a baron, complete with the cape, top hat and even the buggy whip. That explains everything.
-Date: the man who just is too strong and wants a challenge but acknowledges and is mournful for those whom he loves and trusts the most.
-Raiden: the wise old warrior with tricky moves
-Hien: the bishonen who has flair and skill with his feminine style
-Gekkou: the silent stoic who isn't held back by his disabilities. (his blindness)
I should reread the previous chapters, but for Eekei to be killed that easily... Henshouki turn out to be an idiot...
Btw i don't know if you have Emule, but i managed to dig some "treasures" from it before. I did manage to find the Otokojuku movie (which wasn't available anywhere, i've downloaded the Cobra manga RAW that's not even uploaded on raw-manga, etc). But i don't have emule installed now... If you have it can you please look for Akatsuki Otokojuku? Or you can try something else - copy the whole name of Akatsuki in japanese from wikipedia and then paste it on Google and then you can write megaupload or rapidshare (or whatever site japanese people are using for uploading files, you might even know that). I did this and i found dozens of Akatsuki pictures and stuff, but never the manga. But i think you might be able to find the manga becuase you can read kanji.
And yeah, I can figure that could find Akatsuki but won't know if I should TL it after I'm done. (though...it is over, the final volume just came out this month in Japan)
I'm not asking of you to translate Akatsuki (of course i'd like that) but if you can find Akatsuki raws...
Hehe, so Eekei is about to return :P. About Hien it wasn't a spoiler, since it was obvious someone saved him just like Edogawa?/Toudou noted.
Won't reveal if/whether/when Eikei comes back but it is rather neat.
