Eyeshield 21 chapter 268

Page 01

Someone : Marco fell down !
Someone : Bring on a stretcher !!

Gaou : Fff
Gaou : You don’t need that.

Gaou : That guy will immediately
Gaou : Stand up by himself

Left : Collapsed Marco...

Gaou : You should know that better than anyone else
Gaou : What kind of man is
Gaou : that Marco...!

Page 02

Middle : All his thoughts, all his devotion, for the sake of getting to that faraway summit...
268th : That man who is only looking at the top

Page 03

Someone : Yeah, you know, that first year
Sign : Hakushuu middle school

Someone : Marco!!
Someone : He’s the super big one right now

Someone : Yeah, yeah, he doesn’t really have a knack for American football
Someone : Well, he’s decently skilled, but..

Someone : Yeah, he really trains a lot!
Someone : But more than that...

Page 04-05 (spread)

Mitsui : Here it is, the scariest thing!
Tengu : He’s already trying to win over our empress!!

Marco : I’m not looking at anything else than the top
Marco : The top... My most important person is
Marco : Himuro-senpai, I’d say.

Himuro : Such a bold thing to say
Himuro : I value your guts for saying that to an upperclassman, but...
Himuro : Isn’t your most important thing American football?
Marco : Of course.

Marco : No matter what the battle is
Marco : It has no point if you don’t aim for the top, I’d say.

Marco : I’ll definitely be winning the Christmas Bowl
Marco : So that I can show to Himuro-senpai
Marco : The morning sun after the victory...!

Himuro : I like it.
Himuro : That part
Himuro : of you.

Himuro : If possible...
Himuro : Never lose that spirit
Himuro : No matter what you might
Himuro : learn in the future...

Page 06

Tengu : Hyahoiii, Hakushuu’s the best!
Tengu : We crushed the SIC area tournament!!
Marco : So that’s the Kantou tournament’s teams
Marco : We can expect to be defeated by Oujou or Shinryuuji if we meet them, I’d say.

Marco : Yeah... It’s not good if we don’t have a high probability of winning
Marco : I wouldn’t want to play against only strong teams
Marco : When I’ll be in first year of high school, Maria will be in her last year.
Marco : I will only get one chance, I’d say.

Marco : Last problem would be the Christmas Bowl
Marco : Kansai’s representative school
Marco : Hm...

Page 07

Tengu : No
Tengu : No, no, Marco
Tengu : That’s a bit, you know...
Mitsui : yeah
Mitsui : Aim for the third place in life!

Tengu : Either way, you should watch it once
Tengu : With your own eyes.

Tengu : Teikoku Gakuen...

Announcer : The representatives of Kantou are
Announcer : The Shinryuuji Nagas

Announcer : And the representative of Kansai are...

Page 08

Announcer : The beginning of everything
Announcer : The top of everything
Announcer : Teikoku Gakuen!!

Marco : I’ve heard about it
Marco : How American football was dominated by the west
(note : note that when Marco is speaking about the west, he’s always speaking about the west of Japan :amuse)
Marco : How West Japan was overwhelmingly stronger than East Japan.

Marco : When the Christmas Bowl was created in 1980
Marco : The first team to be champion was Teikoku Gakuen

Marco : And ever since then, to this day
Marco : All of the championships
Marco : Teikoku Gakuen

Marco : That’s why
Marco : The beginning of everything
Marco : The top of everything...

Marco : I now know I was a frog in a well
(note : japanese saying, a frog in a well would think it’s the strongest of the world, since its world is basically just the inside of the well)
Marco : Standing in near despair
Marco : in front of the strength of the “west”...

Page 10

Marco : Kansai’s strongest players are all
Marco : joining Teikoku Gakuen.

Himuro : Not only that
Himuro : They’re aggressively recruiting from other schools too
Marco : In other words
Marco : an all-stars team, I’d say.

Marco : ...... I’d laugh at myself
Marco : What was that with showing the morning sun after the victory?

Marco : For the frogs of Kantou we are
Marco : There was no chance of winning ever since the beginning, I’d say.

Marco : No matter how much we practice
Marco : For the average guys we are
Marco : There are only two paths

Marco : Taking a straight look at reality
Marco : And thinking only about dominating Kantou would be the way of the pessimist
Marco : Continuing to hope for an impossible win over Teikoku,
Marco : Far above the level of Kantou, would be the path of the dreamer.

Page 11

Himuro : It’s alright even if it’s an impossible dream
Himuro : You’ll always be...
Marco : I will become

Marco : neither of them!

Marco : I’ll make it a reality
Marco : We’ll definitely defeat them for the championship
Marco : No matter
Marco : What it’ll take...!

Marco : Strength for the sake
Marco : of defeating Teikoku

Word : Destruction

Marco : Strength

Page 12

Marco : I need strength......!!

Marco : Would you want to try it?
Marco : The strength
Marco : of the top.

Marco : To see how strong Teikoku is
Marco : It’s alright if you
Marco : crush all the players.

Page 13

Himuro : So this is your path
Himuro : for victory?

Marco : Yeah
Marco : That’s right.

Page 14

Tengu : He
Tengu : stood up...

Taki : Ahaha
Taki : Lending a hand to an opponent that fell down
Taki : Monsieur Hiruma is a gentleman!

IshiSenaMamo : It
IshiSenaMamo : can’t
IshiSenaMamo : be...

Page 15

Marco : I see
Marco : By moving there yourself
Marco : You make it seem you’re in good health
Marco : Deliberately generating appeal

Marco : you too... You’re a mujina from the same burrow
(note : a mujina is a Japanese badger, in Japanese folklore it is thought to have shapeshifting powers and likes to deceive humans)
Marco : You’ll do anything that can get you even a little closer to victory
Marco : A frog from Kantou

Marco : I had no other choice
Marco : Doing everything I could to destroy the opponent
Marco : I had no other choice

Marco : The very best plan with the pieces I had
Marco : If you had been in my shoes
Marco : You would have done the same, right.......?

Page 16

Hiruma : Of course, fucking eyelashes!

Hiruma : That’s why I got you crushed too
Hiruma : That is
Hiruma : American football!!

Page 17

Marco : I’m glad
Marco : that I could fight a man like you in the finals.
Marco : I’ll be able to crush a man like you
Marco : Without reserve......!

Marco : Gaou
Marco : Just before
Marco : it was my stupid mistake, I’d say.

Marco : There was no point in hurrying up to aim for Hiruma
Marco : It doesn’t matter if the opponent bluffs or not
Marco : Hakushuu’s basis
Marco : It’s alright if we go with our strongest play.

Kisaragi : Hakushuu’s
Kisaragi : strongest play...

Marco : The north-south game.

Marco : I’ll do just like before
Marco : Doing nothing but
Marco : Running through, following your back.

Marco : I’ll believe
Marco : Only in your strength......!!

Page 18-19

Gaou : I’ve been waiting
Gaou : for those words.....!!

Shin : Only 5 minutes left in the last quarter
Shin : 35 to 35
Shin : The real battle
Shin : begins here....!!

Left : the five remaining minutes of offence and defense that’ll decide who will challenge the top...!!
