TN: Well I think from the moment we saw the word "Shigeki" in the tower's name, we should have figured that Shigeki X was going to manipulate it to his own advantage. Heck, putting Koshigeki as the "men behind the curtain" is a cruel but useful trick...but heck, Don Patch doesn't use his own Kopatch for anything like that. (sure there is his stuff as Don Patch but that's just a means for special techniques and not literally manipulative cheating). But outside that goofball, this chapter does seem to show off the other two members of the squad: yeah, we know of Wandering Tofu (though the whole "spider-like tofu...with a guitar" bit was probably one of the funniest visual gags in a while), but at least Goisu finally has background as...Gunkan's little brother!? Yeah, it was sort of surprising and finally did clear up things but the sad thing is that...well, as amazing as the Gunkan arc was, he really hasn't been that relevant to the story after his defeat outside being slashed up by OVER and not being one of Hydrate's sacrifices. (and using his ducktail to help everyone get up to the Yamiking) I guess it's a typical shonen thing (what with the relative of someone important or crucial reappearing out of nowhere to fight the main characters) and it is surprising that he's supposedly was the leader of a country (as opposed to Gunkan who at least shows off leadership abilities while he has done little compared to Shigeki X and Wandering Tofu) but...well, unfortunately, you'll see one of my big problems with Goisu later but for the moment at least he has a little bit of noteriety. The tower fight continues next time...until then, hone up on your shougi cause you won't know when it will be needed!
