Sakigake!! Otoko Juku 243

For Jaki to defeat Spartacus' unstoppable Scorpion, it was a simple measure of not attacking the weapon...but the horses carrying it. But with his tank now useless, the Roman-inspired warrior must now go down to handle things personally...

Chp. 243: Struggle to the Death! Jaki vs. Spartacus

49.
Toramaru: He…he did it---!! It’s amazing, the power of Ougi Shinkuu Senpuushou----!
Togashi: The…the horses of Spartacus’ Horse-Drawn Battle Tank ended up just bone~~~!!

50.
(Title page…from one Otokojuku leader to the next…)

51.
Spartacus: There has never been a person who has brought me down from Scorpion to the ground………! You are the first………………!! The compensation for this disgrace will be reached highly!!
Spartacus: I will not compete together with Shiran, who has exposed his unsightly corpse over there.
Jaki: There are no words for spitting that to your dead ally without even tidying up his dead body……!! I cannot forgive you!!

52.
Jaki: DAIGOUIN-RYUU OUGI: SHINKUU SENPUUSHOU!!
Spartacus: I WILL TEACH YOU: THIS RED WHIP GENOCIDE ISN’T MERELY A WHIP!!

53.
Jaki: !!
Jaki: Nu!!

54.
Spartacus: I’VE CAUGHT YOU: THIS IS MEIOU-TOU OUGI: RED WHIP MESH!!
(TN: Direct translation = “Red Whip Restraining-Net”)
Spartacus: YOU GET UP MANY TIMES, BUT IT’S USELESS. That net twined around your body was knit with Kyokutekkou!! It’s impossible to escape from!
(TN: “Kyokutekkou” = “Ultimate Iron-and-Steel”)
Jaki: YOU……!!

55.
Toramaru: Uoo! Wh…what has this come to---!!
Togashi: Th…that condition is, naturally, next to what was anticipated: he can’t avoid the whip attacks from the other side anymore---!!
Spartacus: HA!!
Jaki: GU!!

56.
Jaki: NUN!!
Spartacus: Fu, somehow you can free up one of your arms.
Spartacus: But how can you do that---!!

57.
Jaki: GAHA!!
Spartacus: Fufu: wherever you run to, it’ll be the same.
Spartacus: This match is already done!!

58.
Toramaru: Uoo! Is…isn’t there a…a method to escape from that net somehow---!! It’s…it’s as he said: by just running around with a body that satisfactory hasn’t returned to moving around like that, he’ll be killed in a matter of time---!!
Togashi: Mo…Momo~~~!!
Momotarou: Wr…wrong………!! Jaki-senpai is moving. To “a certain place” that seems to be not perceived by Spartacus……………!!
Toramaru: Wha!? A…a certain place………!!
Togashi: Wh…what exactly is that…..!!

59.
Spartacus: Fufu: you’re truly a stubborn man. How about if you moderately decide to resign?
Jaki: Th…the one who will decide to resign is you……!! Spartacus………!!
Spartacus: !? What’s that………!?
Jaki: SHINKUU SENPUUSHOU!!

60.
Spartacus: Fu: dummy!!
Spartacus: No matter how long you have that special Ougi, you lack the power to attack from that appearance and it’s easy to avoid it!!
Jaki: It…it’s fine you avoided it. You should look to your behind.
Spartacus: !?
Spartacus: WHA!!

61.
Spartacus: Y…you, it…can’t be!!

62.
Jaki: HA----!!
Spartacus: …………!!

63.
Jaki: Ultimately the death will be yours, Spartacus!!
Toramaru: He…he did it---!! Ja…Jaki reflected towards himself his Shinkuu Senpuushou with the shield of the horse-drawn battle tank and broke off the chain----!
Togashi: Ri…right: as Momo said, that certain place was a place lined up on top of a straight line of Jaki, Spartacus and the shield----!!
Toramaru: Yo…Yosshaa, with that, it’s already done---!!
Spartacus: Fu: Do you already have this victory by from defeating one of my numerous Ougi!?
Jaki: !?

64.
Spartacus: OUGI: RED WHIP SANDSTORM!!
(TN: Direct Translation = “Red Whip Sandcloud”)
Toramaru: Wh…what---!! He…he disappeared---!
Togashi: Th…that Spartacus, he raised up a cloud of sand with the ground by his whip and hid his own form---!!
Jaki: Do you think you can run away from my Shinkuu Senpuushou with that child’s play---!!

65.
(And there goes Spartacus’ body…eww…)

66.
Jaki: ……………!!
Spartacus: FU, YOU’VE REALIZED IT: THE HAIR-LENGTH IS DIFFERENT………!! RIGHT, THAT IS SHIRAN’S CORPSE……!! WHEN I HAD THAT, I DIDN’T HAVE TO TIDY UP. I’VE CAUGHT YOU, JAKI!!

67.
Jaki: KU!!
Spartacus: I’VE GOT YOU~~~!!

TN: I'm not really going to spoil the cliffhanger...but I do want to say that there was a lot of interesting strategy going on in this chapter among things. I really don't know which of the two main ones, though, was smarter: Jaki using Spartacus' shield to break free from the net...or Spartacus using Shiran's corpse to protect himself from the Senpuushou attack. (which now sometimes seems more like a laser than a massive gust of air) Either way, they both have proven that they can take down the other with their massive force as well as are tough in figuring out ways to avoid the other while setting up the next attack. But...with this cliffhanger, one wonders if Spartacus is going to have the last laugh...
