Eyeshield 21 294

Might as well start by saying that having a huge headache right now, I beg your pardon if the english is a bit weird at times, I've tried my best to proofread it, but I might have forgotten something.

Hello everyone, Xophien here, for the translation of yet another awesome chapter of ES21. 6 years... That's quite an impressive feat, really, there aren't that many mangas that managed to have been published for so long, and especially not that many that managed to stay good for that long :amuse So let's all congratulate Inagaki and Murata for their 6 years of success! :confetti

Speaking of celebration, next week will have two more personal ones for me, since the next ES21 chapter should be my 100th translation on MH, and my 100th ES21 chapter translation counting those I've retranslated for Fucking-Manga/Whatever! :nuts Bring your own bottle! :dance

Enjoy~

Page 04

Guys : Wooooh!!

Someone : Kurita sent
Someone : Teikoku’s receiver flying with his huge ass!!

Announcer : At... At this rate, if Kurita-kun catches the ball before it touches the ground
Announcer : The Deimon Devilbats
Announcer : will hijack the ball at once...!

Suzuna : Kuritan!

Hiruma : Catch it even if it kills you!
Hiruma : Fucking fatty!!

Page 05

Receivers : The basis of catching isn’t
Receivers : to try and grab the ball
Receivers : but to create a pocket with your hands
Receivers : and wait for the ball to come.

Monta : Calmly and gently!
Monta : Kurita-senpai!

Kurita : Funnuraba!!

Page 06

Doburoku : What kind of idiot goes for a catch using all his muscles at full power!!

Agon : Kukuku
Agon : He was really just a power idiot, huh?

Takami : What a lack of catching sense...
Receivers : That’s right... Deimon
Receivers : was a gathering of top-class idiots...

Hera : No problem, no problem.
Hera : Since we have three chances to attack
Hera : Failing a single pass doesn’t really matter.

Hiruma : Tch!
Kuroki : Kaaa
Kuroki : Such a shame, damn!

Yamato’s face = O_O

Page 09

Yamato : The ball still hasn’t
Yamato : touched the ground
Yamato : that means

Yamato : It’s still alive!
Yamato : The ball
Yamato : is still living!!!

Teikoku : Woooooh!!

Juumonji : Yamato, you bastard
Juumonji : it sure helped that you came in the crowd as if you were going to pierce through the center.
Juumonji : Because
Juumonji : If we’re all there to stop you even a single instant...

Page 10

Juumonji : there is no one on this field
Juumonji : That can catch Sena and his speed...!!

Page 11-12 (spread)

Akaba : Fuu... Sena-kun might indeed have
Akaba : Speed as his only talent

Akaba : On the other hand, Yamato has everything.
Akaba : Speed.
Akaba : Power.
Akaba : Technique.
Akaba : Body balance.
Akaba : Height.
Akaba : Kinda good-looking.
Unsui : What has the last one got to do with the rest?

Shin : But
Shin : if he is a single step behind
Shin : There is no one
Shin : who can stop Kobayakawa Sena anymore...!

Someone : Touch
Someone : down!!

Page 13

Announcer : And then, Deimon’s
Announcer : TFP after the touchdown is of course...

Announcer : He’s invincible in a crowded area! The great demon god Kurita
Announcer : pushes through!!

Monta : 19 points left!
Sena : Well, we’re still far away, but well
Sena : Anyway, 19 points left!

Page 14

Aki : What the hell
Aki : What the hell is this...!

Editor : They’re catching up against that Teikoku
Editor : in the last quarter...!?

Hera : That’s
Hera : The first time it ever happened in the 30 years of history of Teikoku Gakuen...

Mizumachi : nhaa! Go, Deimon, turn the tables with that!
Kobanzame : This is still a bit too optimistic, right?
Kobanzame : there’s still a big point difference, and not much time...

Kakei : No... We don’t know anymore.
Kakei : Teikoku didn’t let anyone score a single point before
Kakei : Not mentioning touchdowns, they didn’t even let score a single field goal, but

Kakei : If it’s actually possible
Kakei : then maybe...
Kobanzame : Hm?
Kobanzame : Ah, yeah, that! I was just about to say the same thing!

Page 15

Hera : Hiruma Youichi making
Hera : all his teammates come to stop the run was an extreme strategy.

Hera : it’s like
Hera : if we had been playing rock-paper-scissors
Hera : he’d go all “Kekeke, I’m gonna play rock, I’m gonna play rock!”
Hera : By making us think about unnecessary things he’s able to read us.
Karin : Eeeh, when you mention that
Karin : it’s true that kind of things isn’t my strong point...

Hera : No, it’s alright already, Karin
Hera : What happened back then doesn’t matter

Hera : We’ve made a mistake on how much Hiruma was strong at reading the game.
Hera : But if you can say that Deimon learns after piling up mistakes
Hera : It’s the same for Teikoku too.

Yamato : Using my run
Yamato : We’ll mow them down.

Aki : Nice said, Yamato!
Aki : It doesn’t matter if Deimon focuses completely on protecting against runs.
Aki : Yamato’s run is 100% reliable.
Aki : If we can progress while wasting time then it’s alright.

Page 16

Hera : We’ll just push through
Hera : With the strongest Teikoku’s
Hera : overwhelming difference of ability...!!

Taka : ...
Taka : No.

Taka : If there was 2 minutes left
Taka : I would agree as well.
Taka : but there’s still 8 minutes and 45 seconds left.
Taka : This isn’t a time we can be expected to waste.

Taka : Rather than holding on this 19 points gap,
Taka : Let’s score another touchdown
Taka : And completely take them down.

Page 17

Taka : Karin
Taka : Throw a long pass to me.

Taka : if Deimon is focusing on protecting against runs
Taka : It’s completely empty behind.
Taka : It’ll just be a one-on-one match against Raimon.

Hera : ... I can’t agree to that
Hera : after all...
Aki : Since we’re leading by so much
Aki : Why would we take a risk with a long pass!

Taka : Risk?
Taka : There’s no such thing.

Taka : Since I will definitely
Taka : Definitely catch it.
Taka : I’ll defeat
Taka : Raimon Tarou...!!

Page 18

Hera : Karin
Hera : It’s your choice.
Hera : The control tower of Teikoku
Hera : is you.

Page 19

Someone : Wooooh!!

Page 20

Unsui : Impossible!
Unsui : While they’re leading, so close to the end of the game
Unsui : They’re going for aggressive long passes in a row like that...

Announcer : An emperor that won’t move back a single step!
Announcer : Such confidence!
Announcer : Such dignity...!!

Someone : Woooh, they’re already just in front of the goal line!
Someone : 4 yards left!!

Taka : I’ll leave the last one
Taka : To Yamato’s run.

Taka : If that’s a short distance like that
Taka : Rather than a pass to me
Taka : Yamato’s power run is more reliable.

Yamato : ... yeah
Yamato : That’s right...!

Honjou : The passion of battling against a strong enemy
Honjou : While at the same time keeping your composure
Honjou : That is why you are
Honjou : the “top”...!

Page 21

Kuroki : Stop him!
Kuroki : Stop Yamato!!

Juumonji : If we let Teikoku score here...

Monta : What would have been the point of catching up!
Monta : What would have been the point of grabbing that chance!

Kurita : I’ll definitely protect
Kurita : The last small chance
Kurita: we have left...

Yamato : Wooooooh

Sena : It...
Sena : It can’t be...
Sena : Even Kurita-san
Sena : is pushed away...

Page 22

Text : When they finally found an opportunity to catch up... At that time, a cruel touchdown struck Deimon!!

Announcer : Teikoku Alexanders
Announcer : Touchdown!!!
