Banner: TURNABOUT VICTORY
(TN: "Victory" here is actually the term "Shousou", which is a victory in a lawsuit)

TN: I can't believe how insane this chapter was to translate. I thought for the most part I wasn't going to have another one of these chapters with the tons of tiny panels and a million things going on at once. But low and behold, something like this will always seem to pop right back up and bite you in the butt when you least expect it. Pokomi is a valuable character, but even I had a hard time believing she switched out with a soap clone moments before she was attacked by Gura-san. I get it was all part of her plan but somehow I just wish we had a means of knowing when that was a clone or how she did the switch without Gura-san realizing it, especially with all the ghouls running amuck. Somehow Don Patch and Tennosuke's "attempt" at being magical girl just seems rather confusing with each bit that they did, but I did like some of the insane moments in this chapter, like the return of Tennosuke's "poetry collection" (he just can't write from the heart when his heart is made of tokoroten) and Tennosuke's "attempt" at Poison Fist. (which just made me imagine he was Eikei from Otokojuku for some reason...) The final explanation of Gura-san's power is...weird. I don't really get how stomach acid has anything to do with being a judge...but then again Bo-bobo's powers mostly have nothing to do with nosehairs anymore. (well outside the flash to the past we get occasionally now and again) Although...next time will have one Shinken fully show off it's true potential...get your headphones ready until then!
