Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 196

In a drawn ring with a hard opponent, J has been knocked down and around by little Hakuhou and his powerful skills. But is there a way for the boxer to get in a move that's powerful enough...and can't be instantly read by his opponent!?

J: NUU!!
Hakuhou: Kakka: you don’t understand yet!! No matter how many punches you throw, it’s futile! Big brother’s movements are understood like they’re all in my hands by the Law of Taidousatsu!!

8.
(Title page…this really could end up a stalemate for J…Hakuhou is that good!)

9.
J: Gaha!!
Hakuhou: Knockdown---!! One, two, three
Toramaru: J---!!
Togashi: J…J’s been hurt again---!!

10.
J: Kuu!!
J: !!
J: BUHA!!

11.
Hakuhou: RYOUZANPAKU OUGI: CHOUREN SHOUTEIHA!!
(TN: “Chouren Shouteiha” = “Hanging-Connecting Breaking Ram-Palm”)
J: Nuo!!
Toramaru: Uoo---!! Wh…what is this: J’s being showered in blows----!

12.
Hakuhou: Now we don’t even have to take count. The game’s complete.
Hakuhou: Fu, you’re a tough guy. You’re still breathing…………!! I broke all of your ribs and yet……!!
J: A…as expected from one of the Three Heads of Ryouzanpaku……!! Yo…you’re not an ordinary person after all.
J: I…if I could, I wouldn’t want to use this. Bu…but, it…it seems I can’t do as such.
Hakuhou: Huh--!?

13.
J: L…let me show you: my new blow………!!
Toramaru: Wh…what---!! J’s new blow---!
Togashi: Wh…what exactly is this~~~!?
Momotarou: ………!!
Momotarou: It…can’t be…………
Toramaru: Wh…what’s wrong, Momo---!! Do…do you know something---!
Momotarou: HAS…HAS HE PERFECTED THAT PUNCH…………!!

14.
Tazawa: He’s zealously training as ever, that J.
Matsuo: Yeah but what sort of training is that!? He’s been nothing but entirely attacking falling leaves like that since earlier.
J: Mun!!

15.
Matsuo: Wh…what was that n…now…………!?
Tazawa: The falling leaves rotated in a spiral pattern for a moment by the force of J’s punch.
Momotarou: J, what exactly was that now…………!?
J: S – H – P (SPIRAL HURRICANE PUNCH)!!
Momotarou: S – H – P…………!?

16.
J: As by the letters, it’s a thing that will have a tornado occur in the atmosphere by the force of a tremendous punch. This can’t be done by me yet.
Tazawa: Cr…creating a to…tornado~~~!!
Matsuo: Is…is this for real…………!?
J: This is the story. Long ago, there was a champ called K. (King) Butler, admired as invincible and the strongest in the history of boxing, said to have 157 KO victories in 157 matches.
(TN: The last name of this boxer is a tad confusing and can actually go one of two ways based on its reading. In Japanese, it is “batoraa”, which can be read as one of two ways: “battler” or “butler”. Since “butler” seems to be more proper as a last name, I have called him (unless proven otherwise) “King Butler”)
J: At this time, there came to be a great fire at a hotel he was lodging at during a stay in New York with his beloved only son.

17.
J: This champ, who was staying on the top floor, failed to escape; by the time he left his room, the hall had already become a sea of fire.
J: The door to the emergency stairs was ten meters ahead in the corridor, but the flames were strong and it was impossible to arrive with struggle to there…!! As it was, the duo was certain to burn to death…!!
J: It was there that he………!!
King: Fine, son? Listen well to what your father says. When I give the signal, run at once down the corridor to the doors of the emergency stairs.
King: Don’t be afraid. Believe in your dad. It’ll be fine.

18.
King: GO----!!
King: Farewell, son…………!!
King: Ta…take this: this is the last punch of mine in this world--!!

19.
J: A MIRACLE OCCURRED: THE CHAMP’S PUNCH TORE APART THE SEA OF FIRE, GIVING RISE TO A TORNADO LIKE A SQUALL, THE BOY RAN THROUGH WITHIN IT AND HIS LIFE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP.
J: The champ had died.
J: But this became legend and its fame was left behind. That is S – H – P…………!!
Momotarou: …………!!

20.
Togashi: Th…that’s a dreadful story……!!
Momotarou: S – H – P………!! J has this punch, even if he has to strike for the first time at this moment where it’s become an extreme situation for both his body and willpower……………!!
Togashi: J……
Hakuhou: Fuffuffu: a legendary punch~~~!! I heard the story of your allies. At any rate, I have good hearing.

21.
Hakuhou: Kakkakak: but isn’t that funny!! What is this S – H – P----! Anyhow, that legend I’ve decided is a myth----!!
Hakuhou: Now, you should come!! After all, the winner and loser have already been decided.
J: L…let me show you. The inheritance handed over from the great champ……!!
Hakuhou: That’s pathetic. It seems that impact earlier struck your head.
Hakuhou: I don’t have the time to keep company any further with you!! DIE!!

22.-23.
J: MY NAME IS J! K. BUTLER JR!!
J: TAKE THIS: S – H – P~~~~!!
Hakuhou: HUH!!

24.
Hakuhou: Oooh~~~!!
Hakuhou: Wh…what exactly is this----!!

25.
Hakuhou: Gyawa!!
J: Thanks, daddy…!!

TN: Yeah...I had to bold that part. The big finale where J reveals his heritage (and that he's the son of a 157-0, 157 K.O. boxer in his dad King Butler) was just that epic that it had to be translated as such. But of course, "J" is a synonym for "epic" in this series so not doing so would pretty much equate to a crime. The whole chapter was just build-up to that moment, from J being knocked around to the whole flashback involving why his dad had the ability and what happened to him...though strangely it seems more like they lived in the 40s or 50s than more recently. (but age is a strange thing considering some Otokojuku students have been there for years) There really isn't too much more to say...but when finishing a J fight, that usually happens.
