Eyeshield 21 272

I usually waste this space of my translation threads to rant about the most various and useless things, but today... I'll do the same :shakefist Why are my figures getting postponed one after the other? Is this beginning of the year a bad time for figure makers? Where's my volume 28 of ES21, it's been shipped two weeks ago, already! Speaking of which, I need to get a new shelf, since I have no free space left to store my mangas. But I'm still glad the euro's so strong right now, it makes importing a pleasure~

Alright, enough randomness, as my bed is calling, so please enjoy this chapter like an otaku would enjoy going to Akihabara :nod


Eyeshield 21 chapter 272

Page 01

Senamon : 1
Senamon : point
Senamon : difference !!!
272nd Down : Winning
Left : Here it is, here it is, here it is!! Only a bit more until the summit, until their dream!!

Page 02

Announcer : With no remaining time on the clock

Announcer : It’s Deimon’s try for point!
Yukimitsu : Do we go with a kick for 1 point, getting a tie and overtime?
Yukimitsu : Or with a touchdown for 2 points, aiming for the victory?
Sena : It’s the same as that time of the Shinryuuji match...

Hiruma : Kekeke, it’s not the same at all, fucking brats.

Marco : We’re not idiots over there either.
Marco : I know, I’d say
Marco : You guys will never choose the kick at this point.
Hiruma : Obviously
Hiruma : An octopus going in overtime with a dead arm, there’s no way it’d win, right?
(Note : yes, an octopus. Don’t ask me.)

Monta : We’ll grab these 2 points
Monta : Andwin the championship!!
Juumonji : Ha!
Juumonji : We never had another choice ever since the beginning, huh?

Hiruma : Since it’s obvious there’s no point in hiding it
Hiruma : No time for a feint or a shit like that

Page 03

Right : A fair and square
Left : Frontal breakthrough...!

Gaou : To adorn the last of our struggles to the death
Gaou : There is nothing more appropriate than that
Gaou : Kurita

Gaou : Strength
Gaou : versus strength...!!

Page 04

Kurita : :... Hiruma
Kurita : Can I?
Kurita : Only
Kurita : for that last play, I...

Kurita : I’d like not to be snapping the ball
Kurita : I want to focus all the power of my arms and legs
Kurita : in order to stop Gaou-kun’s charge.

Mamori : ... but then
Mamori : who will do it?
Mamori : Snapping the ball to Hiruma-kun
Mamori : in order to begin the offense...

Kurita : That
Kurita : err...

Page 05

Kurita : Amazing......!
Kurita : The summit
Kurita : of strength...

Kurita : I want to
Kurita : become it too.

Kurita : Like Sena-kun and Monta-kun
Kurita : who revealed themselves as the number ones in running and catches

Kurita : I want to become
Kurita : the number one
Kurita : in power...!!

Page 06

Doburoku : ... That’s the first time
Doburoku : I see Kurita like this...

Sign : Onihei
Doburoku : Born after witnessing the strength of Gaou
Doburoku : What’s definitely necessary to become a first-class player

Doburoku : The boiling ambition of
Doburoku : becoming the number one...!

Juumonji : Go for it, Kurita
Juumonji : I’ll take care of the snap.

Page 07

Juumonji : Instead, even if you die
Juumonji : Make that Gaou
Juumonji : eat a Blue Sky...!
(Note : for those who forgot, a Blue Sky is when the lineman sends the opponent flying parallel to the ground, so that all they can see is the blue sky. Not sure if it’ll work well in this case since there’s a roof, but it’s the thought that counts.)

Hiruma : We

Hiruma : will

Page 08

Deimon : Kill them!
Deimon : YEAH!!

Yamabushi : Ooooh!?
Yamabushi : Juumonji is the center!!

Yamabushi : Kurita is
Yamabushi : standing on his fists
Yamabushi : in order to take on Gaou’s charge
Yamabushi : It’s a four points stance...!!

Page 09

Doburoku : You can only do that without holding the ball
Doburoku : By putting all the weight toward the front, it’s an expert’s stance for crushing the opponent.
Doburoku : It’s a style that makes obvious we’re going for a central breakthrough run, but
Doburoku : This doesn’t matter anymore...!

Gaou : Nice, Kurita.
Gaou : With this, it’ll really be
Gaou : an even match...!!

Kuroki : Why are you spacing out, Sena!
Monta : hurry up and get in place!
Sena : Ye
Sena : Yes!

Hiruma : Kekeke, no tricks anymore
Hiruma : With our strongest card, the Devilbat Dive
Hiruma : We’ll break through the front door...!!

Page 10-11 (spread)

Announcer : After coming this far in this long battle
Announcer : It’s time to decide who will win the Kantou tournament...

Announcer : The Deimon Devilbats
Announcer : Or the Hakushuu Dinosaurs

Announcer : In these finals!
Announcer : Both of them
Announcer : With the glory of the championship at stake

Announcer : And also!
Announcer : With the right to take part in the Christmas Bowl at stake!!

Announcer : The destined last play
Announcer : The power showdown that will settle this match at once!
Announcer : The top decisive battle!!

Page 12

Sena : My
Sena : arms
Sena : are
Sena : numb...

Page 13

Sena : That strike I took from Gaou-kun

Sena : Because of the adrenalin of wanting to win
Sena : Then while the pain was numbed
Sena : I went to collide with Marco-kun

Sena : But it wasn’t a small damage
Sena : ever since
Sena : the beginning

Narration : At that moment, Hiruma
Narration : Who practiced handing off the ball to Sena who knows how many thousands of times

Narration : had that instant intuition

Hiruma : There’s a slight gap in the alignment that’s unforgiving
Hiruma : This light-speed Devilbat Dive
Hiruma : will fail.

Sena : Why
Sena : Why now

Sena : Why now...!

Page 14

Sena : We tried our best

Sena : We lost because of the injury
Sena : It couldn’t be helped

Sena : We did really well...

Page 15

Sena : No!!

Chairman : There is no award for fighting spirit in American football.
Chairman : You have only one mission
Chairman : “Winning!”

Sena : I know
Sena : Even in such despairing circumstances
Sena : There is no excuse

Sena : We both know
Sena : Hiruma-san and me
Sena : There is no way we’ll give up

Hiruma : You understand what you have to do, fucking shrimp
Hiruma : You too, you’re already
Hiruma : an American football player

Hiruma : If the strength of the card we’re playing
Hiruma : isn’t at 100% then

Page 16-17 (spread)

Hiruma : By getting rid of it
Hiruma : We’ll make it 120%...!

Marco : In the sky...

Marco : Why
Marco : That movement during the handing off
Marco : It wasn’t supposed to be a feint, I’d say...

Hiruma : Kekeke, obviously
Hiruma : Since we changed our plan midway to avoid inevitable defeat

Hiruma : Counting Sena and mine, that makes four arms
Hiruma : If you break three of them
Hiruma : There’s still one
Hiruma : There’s still my left arm left...!

Page 18

Chairman : Hakushuu that believes strength is everything
Chairman : Or Deimon that uses freely speed, tactics and power
Chairman : Both are the reality of American football

Chairman : Speed
Someone : Hakushuu’s defense was

Someone : lured in by Sena’s speed...
Chairman : Tactics

Chairman : And then
Chairman : Power

Someone : Gaou vs Kurita, the last battle
Someone : one on one...!

Page 19

Hiruma : Become the number one in power, fucking fatty!
Hiruma : Kill that
Hiruma : Gaou!!

Kurita : Fun-
Kurita : nurabaaaa!!!
Left : Mustering their strengths, a great clash!!
