Eyeshield 21 278

I have to agree with Hoshi there, but even being dead tired won't prevent me from translating. Slowly, sure, but translating nonetheless. For the record, the only things that keep me going is that video and the unyielding love of you guys~

So enjoy~

PS : Random trivia : Taka means "Hawk"

Akaba : the dearest wish of the whole Kantou.
Unsui : Whether there had been that contract or not
Unsui : If you want strength, we would have helped.

Mizumachi : hmm... You’re all saying cool things, but the truth is
