Eyeshield 21 275

AWESOME CHAPTER.

More specifically, I wasn't expecting much from this chapter, but I've been blown away like never before. I mean, What kind of twist is that! Inagaki is seriously a god. Damn, I barely could sleep after reading the spoilers already, but I guess I'm far too excited to get any sleep tonight as well. Seriously, waht kind of twist is that? It's awesome. Amazing. Awesome. More like awesome. I love this manga more than anything else.

I don't even have the will to complain it was and by far the longest chapter I've ever translated (one and a half Word pages more than the longest one I remember), and I had to add a whole bunch of translation notes. Damn, chapters like that make me proud I'm a translator :shakefist

Enjoy~

Doburoku : Gahahaha, I was sure you’d win the championship!

Sena : Ooooh
Sena : So adult-like, Suzuna!

Suzuna : .. Something like that, you know
Suzuna : React like in those love comedies, go on.
Sena : No, well, I was surprised, but...
Monta : No way!
Monta : No way!

Monta : Oooooh!
Monta : So adult-like, Mamori-san!

Monta : Ooooooooh!?
Sena : Why me too?

Page 03

Senamon : Ooooooh!!

Mihae : Isn’t it amazing already, Sena!
Mihae : The championship, really, the championship!!
Sena : Huh, why are my parents here!?

Monta : Wooooh, I’m grateful but it’s embarrassing!

Akari : Manabu-chan...!?

Akari (small text) : Club activities are useless
Akari (small text) : Think about your studies first and foremost...

Page 04

Akari : Really, Manabu-chan, keeping your American football club activities a secret from Mama...
Akari : But it’s incredible, being champion
Akari : Help a lot as well in the Christmas Bowl!

Hiruma : The homeroom teacher speaking, madam
Hiruma : Adding a participation to a championship with a sports club on a CV
Hiruma : It’s quite profitable when looking for a job, don’t you think?

Hiruma : Kekeke, with that you’ll be able to give all your strength in the hellish morning trainings, fucking baldy!
Yuki : Ahahahaha!
Yuki : The problem was settled just like that...

Sign : Taki & Suzuna’s father
Taki Yukiji
Toganou : He’s similar to his father, that idiot...

Sign : Creampuff eating tournament

Juumonki : Haaa, you bastard, you’re eating all the tuna sushi!

Page 05

Suzuna : Silence over here!
Suzuna : The game tournament is beginning!

Mamori : The prize given by the principal for the championship is
Mamori : 100 video games!
Everyone : Whaaaat!?

Mamori : “Hell’s Devil Ballon”
Mamori : It’s a shiritori game using players’ names!
Mamori : It’ll keep inflating
Mamori : Say a name and give it to your neighbor before it explodes!
(Note : Shiritori is a chain-word game, in which you must say a word starting with the last syllable of the word said before, until one player runs out of ideas, or says a name that ends with a “n”, since “n” isn’t a syllable and thus can’t be used at the beginning of a name)

Mamori : Eh?
Mamori : The one to make the balloon explode will get a penalty...
Hiruma : The power of the explosion will throw him in the sea.
3bros : Whaaaat!?

Hiruma : Kekeke, should we proceed?
Hiruma : here’s the muscular black clothed trio!

Page 06

Someone : Some muscular guys came!

Juumonji : But wait, what is Gaou doing here! At the opponent’s victory party!
Gaou : Ffn
Gaou : I still have some excess strength left tonight
Gaou : I’ve been told there was a nice place for me to take care of that

Gaou : Gyyyyyaaaaah!

Suzuna : Yaaa, it’s expanding quickly!

Hiruma : Kekeke, I’ll run away by myself
Juumonji : Cheater!!

Page 07

Musashi : Sena
Musashi : I think you have just muscle pain and will be alright, but...
Musashi : If possible,
Musashi : I’d like you to go with Hiruma

Musashi : He won’t tell it to the others not to get anyone worry, but
Boat : Symphony Moterna - Tokyo
Musashi : He’s been going to an oxygen capsule

Monta : Ah, I know about those!
Monta : Baseball’s Handkerchief Prince was using that too...
(note : the Handkerchief Prince is the nickname of pro-baseball player Yuki Saito)

Musashi : Highly pressurized oxygen increases the regeneration
Musashi : when you recover from illness of injuries
Left explanation : Since the soccer player Beckham used it to cure a fracture with quick results, it’s also known as the Beckham Capsule

Musashi : there’s only three weeks before the Christmas Bowl.
Musashi : It will be barely enough to heal a fracture
Musashi : but there’s no choice but doing it
Musashi : In order to fight against Teikoku.

Suzuna : We’ll start with
Suzuna : Eyeshield ni juu i...
Suzuna : “chi”!
(note : Ni juu ichi = 21)

Sena : That’s right
Sena : Marco said it
Sena : The real Eyeshield 21
Sena : is at Teikoku...

Yuki : Ni juu i
Yuki : “chi”?
Yuki : “chi” !?

Yuki : Err... Kyoshin’s runningback
Yuki : Chinen Kamehito!

Someone : how can you remember that guy...
Someone : hey, didn’t you just look on internet, cheater!
Yuki : Th-this is not an infringement of the rules
Yuki : In order to avoid being thrown in the sea, everything goes!
Someone : Darth Yukimitsu!
Toganou : So it’s “to”
Toganou : Then, well, me... Toganou Shouzou

Page 08

Sena : Yuki-san is smart
Sena : Alright then, I’ll look on internet
Sena : for info about
Sena : Teikoku Gakuen...

Sena : Heee, the Teikoku Alexanders
Sena : They have 6 strings!!
Monta : That’s amazing...
Monta : The club has more than 200 members

Sena : With that many people
Sena : I can’t tell at all who’s the real Eyeshield 21

Monta : Wouldn’t it be easier to look for the ace of the team?
Monta : That incredible MAX guy
Monta : must be the ace for sure, right?

Page 10

Koutarou : The ace,
Koutarou : It’s definitely Ibarada!

Sena : Koutarou-
Sena : san...??
Koutarou : Yo!
Koutarou : The championship
Koutarou : it was smart!

Koutarou : Well!
Koutarou : I didn’t come to this celebration just to say that

Koutarou : For the sake of Deimon’s victory in the Christmas bowl
Koutarou : I’ll help in any way I can!
Koutarou : Crush him!
Koutarou : That traitor Ibarada...!!

Someone : Habashira Rui!
Koutarou : Hm??
Sena : That timing just ruined the mood!

Page 11

Koutarou : uh? Ah!?
Koutarou : Err...
Koutarou : Ibarada Kirio!
Sena : Eeeeh
Sena : Omosadake Futoshi!
Monta : Shin Seijuurou!

Koutarou : .. Well
Koutarou : What was I saying?

Koutarou : Ibarada-senpai was
Koutarou : a super offensive scrambling quarterback
Koutarou : The pride of the Bando Spiders
Koutarou : And by far the best quarterback of Tokyo.

Koutarou : With Akaba, my kicks and Ibarada-senpai
Koutarou : Bandou is invincible!
Koutarou : We used to think that.

Koutarou : Those guys from Teikoku
Koutarou : had Ibarada-senpai transfer over there...!!

Koutarou : Gaou Rikiya
Sena : Yamamoto Onihei!
Monta : Ikari Daigo!

Page 12

Koutarou : Be careful of Ibarada’s secret skill
Koutarou : the sideways running throw, the “Rose Whip”!!
Koutarou : Remember that...!

Sena : I understand
Sena : I did the same in the Hakushuu match, throwing while running
Sena : If he can control the throw well while moving
Sena : It can become an incredible problem...!

Monta : Then, that Ibarada guy
Monta : Is he the real Eyeshield 21!?
Sena : We should take a video of him
Sena : Maybe if we show it to Kakei-kun he’ll know...?

Sena : Anyway, what precaution should we take
Sena : Against that Ibarada-san...
Koutarou : “Kaitani Riku”!

Page 13

Sena : Hieeeeeee!

Balloon : I’m at
Balloon : my
Balloon : limits

Sena : Riku
Sena : “ku”...

Sena : Kurita Ryoukan!

Sena : “n”??

That’s what happen to people who don’t read my translation notes! :shakefist

Page 15

Ootawara : Bahaha!
Ootawara : So we’re the only ones not down
Gaou : Ffn
Gaou : Boring.

Sena : Hee~

Monta : Here, Sena, change your clothes
Sena : Aah, thank you, Monta
Sena : But why do you have a suitcase...?

Monta : Well
Monta : Didn’t we decide to go to Osaka?

Page 16

Sena : Whaaaaaaaat!?

Suzuna : Yaaaa, so fun!
Suzuna : We’re going to scout Teikoku Gakuen!!
Monta : The sooner the better MAX!
Monta : Sena wanted to take a video to show to Kakei, right?
Monta : And yay, here comes a Wild draw four!
Sena : but, well, why are we going in the middle of the night?
Sena : You’re sure overflowing with energy...
(note : I’m pretty sure most of you know that game already, but just for the record, they’re playing Uno)

Sena : And by the way, tomorrow is Monday, so what will we do about school?
Monta : Hm?
Monta : Well, we’ll manage somehow.
Sena : No, well, I don’t believe that...

Teikoku Gakuen

Ibarada : Damn it, Karin
Ibarada : you’re slow!
Karin : S-s-s-sorry!

Yamato : Wait
Yamato : Iba... What was it?
Yamato : Ah, yeah, Ibarada-san!
Yamato : Why are you using Karin as a luggage carrier?

Karin : Ya-ya-Yamato-kun!
Karin : It’s alright
Karin : I don’t really mind...

Page 18

Yamato : underclassmen aren’t slaves for their senpai
Yamato : Instead, you should have that fourth string player to carry them, you know?

Ibarada : Why the hell, after bothering transferring from Kantou...
Ibarada : This great me...
Ibarada : I was the ace of the Tokyo district!!

Ibarada : And, all that just for the fourth string??
Ibarada : Why is a girl a regular...
Ibarada : hey, wait
Ibarada : Where...

Yamato : There’s a simple and fair reason for that.

Page 19

Yamato : It’s just that Karin
Yamato : is definitely stronger than you.

Left : Their doctrine is ultimate efficiency!!

Karin : Aaah, it’s alright already, really
Karin : Is it really good to go that far...
Karin : I said I was sorry already...
