Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 210

With a burst of thunder, Momo has eliminated the dirtied-pride Red Thunder and taken Otokojuku's first finals victory! But Gouki's side isn't going to take things lightly and may be sending one of it's best next...while Otokojuku sends...

Chp. 210: Enter Meiou Island’s First Player!!

109.
Toramaru: Wahhaha, y…you’ve done it, Momo! Now I’m certain that you’ve ended the life of Red Thunder---!!
Togashi: Well it’s a good sign for the start of the Tenchou Gorin Daibukai finals---!!

110.
(Title page…about time Togashi fights again on his own…though…yeah, he has bad luck to have “those types” as his opponents)

111.
“Fighter”: He was unprepared, that Red Thunder, but he was caught at the last minute in that last resort of guiding thunder with two swords.
Gouki: A last resort……………!! Are your eyes knotholes?
“Fighter”: Huh!?
Gouki: The Nitouryuu of that man Tsurugi: he can easily defeat Red Thunder with those blades. But he didn’t do as such…………………!! He was constantly sensing our eyes and did that so we wouldn’t perceive all of his power.
“Fighter”: ………!!

112.
Gouki: He’s a dreadful man.
Gouki: I feel a fated something with him.
Gouki: Now, who will be the next to go!! Don’t put them down: they should understand plenty the power of those Otokojuku men.
“Opponent”: That duty will be left to me.
“Fighters”: Y…you’re…………!!
Gouki: Fu: no matter how you say you won’t put them down, I think a man of your extent doesn’t need to fight so soon……!! Well, you should do what you like.

113.
“Bishonen”: Know I am grateful, commander.
Togashi: Ooh, that was an amazing match, Momo~~~!!
Toramaru: I was completely struck with terror with what would happen for a moment!! S…so, you should treat your wounds quickly~~~!!
Akashi: But for Momo to be tormented to this far by an opponent…the Meiou Island 16-Warriors…they’re status is different from our enemies until now.
Toramaru: N~~~!!
Toramaru: L…look---!! Someonly has emerged from within the tower already---! After that Indian guy, I’m certain he’s a much more rugged guy---!!

114.
Togashi & Toramaru: Wh…what~~~~!! H…he’s our next competition opponent~~~!

115.
Michele: My name is Michele the Black Rose of the Meiou Island 16-Warriors. Who is going to be my opponent, gentlemen of Otokojuku……………!!
(TN: The latest opponent’s Japanese name is “Kurobara no Missheru, which translates as such into “Michele the Black Rose”. Meanwhile, Michele makes mention here of calling the Otokojuku fighters “katagata”, which can translate into “people” but also “gentlemen”; considering the nobility Michele holds, the latter felt more appropriate)
Togashi: Wahhaha: l…look a…at that. It’s…it’s a guy who looks like he was stolen from a shoujo manga-----!!
(TN: In a weird way, Togashi is sort of right with this: a lot of the style and similarity of Michele is very similar to Lady Oscar, the “female” [though she looks male] lead character of Riyoko Ikeda’s popular and influential shoujo series “Versailles no Bara”/ “The Rose of Versailles”, which was published in Shueisha’s shoujo magazine “Margaret”)
Toramaru: Kakkakaka: that opponent doesn’t have a care to me----!!
Togashi: Yosshaa, leave this here to me!!
Toramaru: Heh, take him Togashi!! You won’t be able to have even any pride in winning against that frail okama-chan!!

116.
Togashi: Sh…shut up!! As long as it’s my turn, I don’t care what he is!!
Toramaru: Ooh!! You can do it---!
Togashi: Watch this!! Five minutes; I’ll settle this in five minutes----!
Date: Is this fine, Momo……!! I feel an alarming unearthly thing in that man Michele. Clearly he’s too heavy a burden for Togashi.
Momotarou: Fu, I don’t think as such.
Momotarou: If you’ve come this far, then there isn’t a match that is just techniques and skills. Togashi hides a power that exceeds in that.
Momotarou: He is the face of Otokojuku!!
Togashi: Uo!!

117.
Togashi: Gue!!
Togashi: I’M TOGASHI GENJI, OTOKOJUKU FIRST-YEAR~~~!!
Michele: Vulgar and rude……I do not like people like that. To you, I will offer an appropriate ugly death for this.
Togashi: Huh…!?

118.
“Fighter”: A high-prided man descended from a lineage of French nobles: Michele the Black Rose.
“Fighter”: It is a well-known thing that there are thorns on a beautiful rose……he has unusually come to send to oblivion warriors of an unknown number until now with that face………!!
“Scientist”: Turn your eyes to this interesting thing, commander.
Gouki: !?
“Scientist”: I have inputted the battle ability that has been the based on the battles until now for the man called Togashi into this computer.
“Scientist”: And then I compare it to the battle ability of Michele and analyze, bringing out the result of the battle!!

119.
“Scientist”: 99.999%! This is the probability that Michele wins. In other words, the chance of victory is only 1/100,000 for the man called Togashi.
(TN: The scientist is at least correct: considering that percentages are based on the 10th and 100th decimal point, the additional 9s push Togashi’s chance past the 1000th and 10,000th point into the 100,000th point)
Gouki: I’m not pleased……………why isn’t there a 100% probability; what is the uncertain element of the remaining 1/100,000!?
“Scientist”: Well, that up to here was expected of the computer…it was, but you don’t have to have any worry!! Michele’s victory won’t have a thing to tremble with due to this!!
Gouki: ………………!!

120.
Togashi: He’s fussy! This snobby man---!! A match isn’t a thing that is done with a face or mouth----!!
Togashi: Uryaa!!

121.
Togashi: Toryaa!!
Michele: I have one more additional word other than vulgar and rude for you.
Michele: That is: novice!!
Togashi: What’s that!?
Togashi: Uoo!!

122.
Togashi: ………!!
Togashi: Wh…what---!!
Toramaru: To…Togashi--!! Wh…what: th…that snob guy is standing with unreasonable skill----!!
Michele: Any further is a thing of useless time. Besides, I don’t want to see with my eyes a person in his underwear; this extreme of filth.
Togashi: Y…you: what does that mean---!!

123.
Michele: Essentially, there isn’t a technique there is used by someone like you, but I challenge it by giving this to show you!!
Michele: MEIOUTOU OUGI: KILLING ROSE FRAGRANCE!!
(TN: “Killing Rose Fragrance” = “Satsubara Kyokukun” = “Killing-Rose Thorn-Scent”)
Togashi: !!

124.
Togashi: Heh, if I’m thinking something, it’s that these things are quite dumb things!!
(TN: Togashi makes an expression of “nan bo no mon ja”, with “bo” as “dull” or “dumb”, thus the expression)
Toramaru: Great!! A…aren’t you doing this, Togashi---! You’re knocking down all of the flowers released from Michele’s cape---!!

125.
Togashi: Ke, those things are an Ougi; I haven’t taken one scratch, of course. Perhaps it’s a thing of preparing even blades on the roses.
Michele: Fufu: you don’t know the true meaning of the roses. The purple rose…………that is the scent of death……………!!
Togashi: Wh…what………!?

126.
Togashi: UH!!
Togashi: Wh…what…………!! Th…the scent of the roses…………!? Wh…what: I’m getting dizzy…………!!

127.
Michele: This is the original purpose of Black Rose Fragrance. This scent will lure you to the country of Hades.
Togashi: Guoo---!!
Togashi: Gya!!
Michele: One minute! Your life has one minute left……!!
Toramaru: Wh…what---! Hold on, Togashi---!!
Togashi: Ho…how exactly could it have come to this…………!?

TN: Let me just breathe this out first: ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME TOGASHI GETS A FIGHT ON HIS OWN AGAIN!! Does anyone even realize that we've waited since his fight with Senkuu for another solo performance by perhaps the most manly of Otokojuku's men? (yeah, Togashi is one of my favorite characters, so sue me) Though it is a tad weird/ironic/ridiculous that he's fighting yet another "girly-man" (considering Hien and Senkuu were just like Michele once upon a time), at this point I'll take anything for him to get a regular fight that isn't a double team. (nothing wrong with double-teams but sharing time just feels like it isn't a pure fight for Togashi, even if it is...Toramaru) Of course, it's not like Michele is going to be easy considering he's a Meiou Island elite...but Togashi's been through these types before and somehow I know he'll pull through...because he's Togashi.
