Hello, Ishizuka-san.
>Panel 2 I watched it.
Congratulation on becoming the best 8 at the interhigh individual.
>Panel 3 Thanks.
I did my best in my last tournament.
>Panel 4 The match between Sakaki-san and Yamada-san became a great motivation for me, and I believe this outcome has something to do with it.

That's my line~~ (Text)
Let's do our best, okay?
We're teammates today!
This is the first time---[flower]
I would have liked to fight you, if possible.
BB pg 157 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 Erina-chan sure is getting even more popular recently.
Yeah, still not as popular as your Ryoko-chan though.
>Panel 3 Did she take time to train during busy time?
>Panel 5 Our Erina-chan-
is a monster.
>Panel 6 Since her identity as a kendoka has already became public, she's no longer afraid about what other people think and proceeds with her training.
No matter how tired she is, she would swing shinai without fail, so I heard.
In her time-off, all she does is kendo, kendo, kendo, and kendo.
>Last Panel -----Despite all that, she became more cheerful and full of spirit.
BB pg 158 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I'll revise what I said before, Kame.

Really, all kinds of people have gathered here.
Many people who still had something to do in their youth took the application.
>panel 2 I'm so glad I have a place such as this.
We used the power of television so we can create this place.

Banish Academy's Kendo Beauties Team!!!
BB pg 168 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Now, what do we have here...
>Panel 3 (NOTE/RANT: suriage-men, a deflection that's followed by men. The way I, who know NO kendo, understand, it's basically street fighter 3's parry => counter with Shoryuken.)
>Panel 2 (NOTE: De-gote or Debana Kote, intercept and then kote. In our(?) term, it's like a newtype went "kyupiiin!" and then "Soko kaaa!" *slash with a beam saber*) Kote, hit!
De-gote!!
Splendid!!!
>Last Panel I'm sorry, now we can't afford to lose a match.
That bitch, you better remember this!
You were so close...
BB pg 184 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 It's two consecutive defeats for the Kendo Beauties Team!
Good going, Muroe High!
Uoooooo (Small Text)
Mirukaaaa!
>Panel 2 A good team, don't you think?
>Panel 4 Indeed.
They look like they're really having fun.
>Panel 5 At first...
I just wanted to let Tama-chan fight you.
>panel 6 To train Tama-chan,
I thought that's one thing I could do for Tama-chan, you... and the world of high school kendo.
>Panel 7 I thought-
that is the one way I could thank Tama-chan who have opened my eyes.
>Last Panel But,
I was wrong.
BB pg 185 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 The kendo that Tama-chan seeks is different from us.

Today is the day I will defeat you!!

>Panel 4 Hah (bubble x3)
>Panel 5 Sensei.
Hmmmm?
>Panel 6 It's good to hear that you'll still be teaching in the school next year.
Aaah.
I totally have no idea what happened, but it looks like everything went well.
>Panel 7 But you know.
Hm?
>Last Panel you're going to leave, right?
Leaving this school.
BB pg 203 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2+3 ....That's Kirino for you.
I can-
see through anything.
>Panel 4 I have no more reason-
to stay in this school, in the club.
>Panel 5 There's no more things a shallow guy like me can teach you, the things to teach have been long since exhausted.
Heck, from the beginning, all I did was being helped by you guys.
>Panel 6 For the sake of you all,
and for me,
I think it'd be better if I'm not here next year.
>Panel 7 Hmmmm...
>Panel 8 There are so many things I want to say, but...
you won't hear aaaanything from me.
Is that so? Thanks.
>Last Panel Anyway,
so many things happened this year-
that it felt like it's been years.
From here, I'd like to take a short rest... and then slowly start over from zero to find myself.
By finding their own kendo, the girls take their first step towards adulthood. And this is the end to the story of Kojiro who guided and watched over them. The epilogue is just, the span between spring and summer, 4 months away from the main story. To make Tamaki and the others to stand at the starting line----- that is the goal of this work. I think everything landed without a hitch as scheduled. It was quite a long first step forward, but I really thank you everyone for watching over their growth until the end.
About how this work would turn out at first, I heard that the readers of Square Enix don't receive sports manga well. So, I tried to meet their expectation and have been contemplating about it for some time. When I said to the Editor about making the manga about girls kendo, the Editor went, "Seriously?" But then, the editor was the one who said that whatever works and gave it a go, so I just went with the idea.
To begin with, the readers have no interest in sports genre. We can even assume that they hate it. So, I've been thinking on how to make such readers to read the manga. Actually, when I asked the people who hate sports genre, I got, "It's just a club, it's just sports, why would you give all your youth to it? Getting injured, getting so frustrated that you cry, I don't understand why you would want to work so hard for it." That kind of answer. And that is where I realized that the [kendo] theme fits them perfectly. While kendo is about getting stronger and that sort of thing, the main objective of kendo is to polish oneself, to train one's mind. In other words, even without winning and advancing in the hot-blooded matches like in typical sports genre, I thought I can make stories about characters' growth no matter how many.
This work with girls as the protagonists was decided from the so-called scheme that says that hakama figures are attractive and that the smell of sweat is quite relaxing. It's not like they will aim for the national tournament. If they lost, they will, of course, feel frustrated and cry. But ultimately, it won't always be refreshing, it's just a typically easy-going high school girl club activity. Even when I draw from an adult male reader's point of view, the high school boys are completely ostracized. And the last is a fabulous story about stepping into the fabulous TV world, and fabulously fighting against fabulous performers. I tried not to fill the pages with description about practices and matches too much. The description about the tournament that is standard to the sports genre was made so that it can be read as easily as possible. Also, instead of the main characters, the serious and hot-blooded matches are carried out by the third party. The main characters became bystanders instead. Anyway, I tried my best so the readers can relax and enjoy the reading. Even if it's not something that will make you laugh out loud, I have included a generous amount of comedy elements that will make you smile. Without trying to display the story's originality, I vowed to draw a standard youth sports story that can be found in everyday life.
When I just started, I was so totally into it that I threw in so much random story development that wasn't in the original plan. It has always been like that from volume 3 up to volume 9 or so. When doing the story for the TV, the story came to a close, so I had to postpone things. I also did the fifth girl Azuma that wasn't included in the submitted plan. During the Seimei High arc, there wasn't any development whatsoever. Just how did I summarize things by moving the characters as I please? I was also experimenting with a dangerous thing that is called "to enjoy myself". And about Hayashi-sensei, that was totally just my preference. I have grown way too attached to the Muroe High's charas that I stretched out the story. However, the landing point has been decided, so I was able to feel at ease and do whatever I want.
And then, the last battle of Ura-Ume. Just for this match, I have been talking right from the beginning with the editor to draw the match for a whole book, and I got the permission to do whatever I want. The mood of the work is different from how it was originally. There might be many readers who aren't quite satisfied with it, but this is the last one, so please let it pass. By the way, Bamboo B that is currently serialized in Shonen Gangan is "Aim for the National Tournament" sports story. Bamboo B is to complement things like fierce fight between boys or the death match of national level that couldn't be included here in Bamboo Blade, so please check it out. Right now, there are only 4 full volumes out though.
And thus the temporary end of the story, but the springtime of life has just begun for Tamaki and the others.
Now, to talk about what will happen to Kojiro from here on, he'll be in charge to be an advisor in another high school's kendo club starting next year. There was an invitation for him from nearby school that has a problem with its girls kendo club, you see? So, there was someone related to the school who saw Kojiro in TV, and Kojiro accepted the offer. And then, Kojiro will surely face various problem in that club and grow even further. Kojiro and his new club might compete against the Muroe High in practice match or tournament. This time, there might even be a story about his love life, please look forward to it. --------------------I won't draw it though. I shall leave the rest to your imagination.
Lastly, without a doubt, this one whole year will influence these people's life from now on. And the one who started all this, somehow or the other, was Kojiro. And then, to every reader who read until the end, I'll be happy if you can somehow get a bit of good influence from it.

For CXC Scans only
~NOTE ahoy~ I suggest we should add the note either at the beginning or at the end of the book or just make a text note for it.
Num 1: Gyokuryuuki (玉竜旗) is apparently an all Japan high school kendo tournament
Num 3: jodan -> overhead stance/position. migi-morote-jodan literally translates to --> right - both hands - overhead stance hidari-morote-jodan literally translates to --> left - both hands - overhead stance
Goodness, anyone familiar with kendo terms should just go ahead and correct me.
Num 4: chudan --> middle stance/position
Num 5: Dunno if it's true, but it seems to me that kendoka around the world(?) generally use the Japanese terms for the team positions, so I left them as they are. I'm not a kendoka here, so I won't be too surprised if I'm wrong.

Kuwa (Shirt Text)
We look forward to the broadcast of the Banish Academy next month.
>Panel 4 A little about the aftermath of the match between Erina-chan and Sakaki-san----
>Panel 5 In the end, the training camp schedule had to be changed drastically.
>Panel 6 The two who passed out had to keep their health in mind, so they had to hold back in the 2nd day match.
We can no longer follow the schedule.
>Last Panel As for the TV staffs, they are already used to schedule changes.
So, they started the recording without delay.
BB pg 010 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 And then, this part is on schedule, but-
Sueno Shouko-san went home without participating on the 2nd day of the training camp.
>Panel 2 As the Gyokuryuuki tournament is drawing near, she can't afford to neglect the club anymore than this.
I see,
Sakaki-san and Yamada-san can't participate in the tournament.
>Panel 3 ...What a pity.
I wanted to fight both of you here.
>Panel 4 I'm truly sorry, I kept messing up the schedule...
No, it was a good match.
>Panel 5 I'm already in the 3rd year.
I can't fight in the high school level anymore.
>Panel 6 Next time,
let us meet in the All Japan Championship.
BB pg 011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 3 The one thing that I regretted-
was that Sueno-san went home without knowing Tama-chan.
>Panel 4 I suppose it was still too early for Tama-chan to fight those girls.
Oryo~
...Nah.
>Panel 5 It's just a matter of time...
right...?
>Panel 6 By the way, in today's recording---
>Last Panel (RANT: Fabulous Max~) Miyazaki-san had a big role.
From my point of view, I could see she had something like an aura which is comparable to Erina-chan's and Ryoko-chan's.
BB pg 012 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Hohohohohoho (Black Text above)
You wouldn't think that she's actually a novice by looking at her facial expression, the way she read the situation, and her skill with words. Even the TV staffs were deeply impressed by her.
Somehow, it seemed to me that Ryoko-chan was a little mad and became competitive because of that.
>Panel 2 (RANT: I'm tempted to change "greatness" to "fabulousness". Well, this is just a rant, so you can ignore it.) I expect no less from her...
Haaaa~
Even to us, it was truly a day where we found Miyazaki-san's greatness anew.
>Panel 3 But as expected, the one who stood out the most was-
Tama-chan.
>Last Panel In the equal practice with the Kendo Beauties, equal matches between them were unfolding quite literally.
Her matches drew everyone's attention, just like her match against Erina-chan the day before.
Tama-chan (me) ko O - X ko Miruka-san (Text) Tama-chan ko X - O (me) me Touko-san (Text)
But I... had a feeling that Tama-chan could go even further,
since I somehow felt that Tama-chan didn't really put herself into it, even less so than usual...
BB pg 013 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 After the match she had with Erina-chan... no,
after the match between Erina-chan and Sakaki-san... it appeared to me that Tama-chan was different than her usual self.
>Panel 2 Now that I think about it...
>Panel 3 Sakaki-san's father had this strange look on him when he saw Tama-chan...
...I wonder if something happened.
>Panel 4 ....Um, // Azuma-san.
>Panel 5 There's something I'd like to ask...
>Panel 6 ...What is it, Tama-chan?
Exit (text on the door)
We'll be going first~~
>Last Panel Azuma-san...
why are you practising kendo?
BB pg 014 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 3 To think that Tama-chan-
>Panel 4 would ask this question...
>Panel 5 As I thought, she's worried about something-
after witnessing that match...
>Panel 8 At first, I started practising kendo because Grandpa recommended me.
I did my best because I wanted to make Grandpa happy. After all, Grandpa was the one who really enjoys watching me getting better in Kendo.
>Panel 9 I thought of stopping practising kendo after middle school, but... I thought it was for the best that I followed everyone's persuasion and restarted practising kendo.
"Kendo will polish the human we call Azuma Satori"... I understood that it was for the best.
>Last Panel As for right now...
BB pg 015 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 My goals are to get even stronger and to participate in the national tournament.
I'm putting all my effort in order to achieve those.
>Panel 3 However...
>Panel 6 My number one goal is---
>Panel 8 The first thing we need to do today is the Banish Academy recording.
Make sure you apologize for what you did the other day.
...Yes.
>Last Panel ...I gave hard time to Kamesaki-san as well...
>Panel 4 At that time, it must have been because you had something you really need to do. Looking from the result, the recording came out interesting, so we can't blame you for that.
...But,
>Panel 5 Why did you not tell me?
>Panel 7 It's fine not telling the others.
It's fine not telling your family, friends, boyfriend,
the other staffs, and even costars.
But, I am your manager, Erina-chan.
>Panel 8 I am-
your partner.
>Panel 9 You're not supposed to do that to me!!
>Last Panel I-
I'm sorry...
BB pg 017 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Never ever do that to me again!!
You got that!!!
>Last Panel Yes...
BB pg 018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 Go away

>Panel 6 Don't get cocky. (Cut off text)
Idiot. (Huge Text)

>Panel 7 Giggle // Giggle
>Panel 9 What happened, Toda-san?
Did someone do something to you?
>Almost Last Panel Oh my, there are actually people who would do such terrible things.
they're all idiots who always hinder other people.
>Panel 5 All idiots can just disappear-
from my world.
BB pg 021 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 4 If it isn't Kamesaki, // are you still Erina-chan's manager?
Well yeah.
>Panel 5 Looks like I'll become her manager officially.
Well, I look forward to working with you, Kuroiwa.
>Panel 6 By the way,
Ryoko-chan seems to get along with our Erina-chan recently.
>Panel 7 Where did you buy that hat?
It's from fashion center Shimomura.
It's cute~
>Panel 8 Do you wanna go shopping with me next time?
I found a good store just recently.
Waaai~ I'll go!
BB pg 022 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I believe Ryoko-chan used to be hostile towards Erina-chan...?
Do I really have to explain, Kame?
>Panel 2 Before, Ryoko-chan thought of Erina-chan as just a kid who never works hard.
But after the shooting for the Banish Academy, she saw Erina-chan in a new light.
>Panel 3 Ryoko always respects anyone who works hard to improve themselves, no matter in what field they are.
>panel 4 Ryoko now acknowledges Erina-chan, // and sees her as an arch-rival.
She finally achieved to become one I wanted her to be.
>Panel 5 If you look down on someone, you won't be able to see their good points. // You won't learn anything from them in the end.
As Ryoko have realized how Sawamiya Erina has been living her life until now, she came to respect her.
From now on, Ryoko will use Sawamiya Erina as a stepping stone to grow even further.
>Panel 4 See you, sensei!
See you!

I don't need a boke here.
>Panel 4 Please excuse me.
Hoop(text)
So, why do sensei have this much money?
>Panel 5 I'm thinking of using this money to take you guys to Kyushu.
To observe the Gyokuryuuki... or something.
>Panel 6 Waaah! Gyokuryuuki!! That sounds good, sensei!!
Let's go! Let's go! With everyone!
Hmmm, but you know...
>Panel 7 Just this amount of money won't be able to cover for travelling and lodging expenses.
Gotta be responsible for everyone of you..., right?
>Last Panel I will say this only to you.
This is for Tama-chan.
BB pg 025 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 Even if I use more money to bring you guys to the Gyokuryuuki---
...Well, I'm sure everyone could learn something from it, but- // it is still too early for you guys after all.
>Panel 3 All I could think about-
is Tama-chan.
>Panel 4 Can you go along with me for Tama-chan's sake?
>Panel 5 There's no need to ask me-
or everybody else.
>Panel 6 ...Thank you.
I knew you would say that...
Sensei is being too reserved.
>Panel 7 I just wanted to make sure.
>Last Panel Anyway, it's not exactly meaningless if we go there.
BB pg 026 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Because eventually,
we will come out in the tournament ourselves!!
>Last Panel Marinemesse Fukuoka / Fukuoka Convention Center (building name)
BB pg 027 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 It may be still too early right now, but...
>Last Panel Let us watch for the sake of next year.
BB pg 028-029 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because next year,
we will stand there together with everyone as participants.
>Panel 2 I started just to accompany Dan-kun, so...
it's not like I had any interest in it.
>Panel 3 When I started doing it,
I understood why I'm doing Kendo.
>Panel 4 I have an offensive personality after all, so I enjoy hitting my opponent.
So, I thought to myself, "Kendo sure is fun."
>Panel 6 But, you know.
When I realized that Kendo doesn't stop there, I enjoyed doing it even more.
>Panel 7 I-
can't help but wanting myself to become stronger.
>Last Panel Just how strong I can get?
I'm doing my best in order to know that.
BB pg 032 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Miyazaki-san... wants to get stronger... through kendo...
Yep.
Women have to be strong.
>Panel 2 ...But actually,
my main goal is-----
>Panel 5 Then, I'll pass the message to everyone by mail.
Yeah, I'm counting on you.
I'll tell them the detail tomorrow.
>Panel 6 The day after tomorrow,
the Muroe kendo club will go to Kyushu!
>Last Panel The school will start tomorrow, right?
You should sleep early today.
Okaaay.
BB pg 033 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Toraji, wait for a bit.
>Panel 2 Here, take this.
What's that?
>Panel 3 What's with this amount of money?
>Panel 4 Is that so? // So you can't take so much money out of the blue for no reason, huh?
Theeen---
No, I AM taking this, but-
What's this for?
>Panel 5 Your New Year's gift deposit has matured so I withdrew it.
Then, this IS my money!
Munny~~ (on the envelope)
>panel 6 Even if I gave it to you, you'll just spend it away on something useless after all!
Hahhahhah! (Text)
So I'm untrustworthy, huh...
It's spot on, though.
>Panel 7 Well, you're already an adult now.
And you'll turn 26 soon, right?
>last Panel I'm sure you know how to spend money now.
Take it.
Yeah.
BB pg 034 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 I guess this is a first for me.
>Panel 3 Spending money for something really useful.
>Last Panel Were you right behind me all this time...?
BB pg 041 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 It's been while since we played in the park.
>Panel 2 ----Yes...
>Panel 3 Yoh.
>Panel 4 Yuuji-kun...
why are you practising kendo?
>Panel 5 Hah!
>Panel 8 Oopsies.
>Panel 9 Yoh.
>Panel 10 Hop.
BB pg 042 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I've always been close to Tama-chan since forever after all.
It's only natural that we start doing kendo together.
>Panel 2 Also, practising kendo is fun, that's why I'm still doing it until now.
They're so simple, huh? Men.
>Panel 3 I see.
>Panel 4 Urya!
>Panel 6 I was the closest.
>Panel 7 Even closer than everybody in the club.
Even closer than Kojiro-sensei.
>Last Panel That's why,
I know what are you thinking and hesitating about.
>Panel 6 You were Kuwahara-san from the 2nd year, right!?
You're on fire, oy!
Were you in a basketball club member in your middle school?
No, I was in the softball club.
>last Panel Eeh, how come you're so good at this?
Well, that's because my bro always made me accompany him when I was in the elementary school...
You should join the basketball club.
Nah, join nao, you!
BB pg 048 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Even if you don't join us, can I ask you at least be a backup during competition?
We just have barely enough team members, and they're all lacking in height, you see? // You'll be a great help if you join us.
>Panel 3 Ummm...
I'll think about it.
>Panel 4 Sayaaa!
Oh! (Thin text)
The club's starting.
>Panel 5 Well then, please excuse me! // I'm sorry for bothering you!
That's too bad! (text)
Come by again anytime!
>panel 6 That Saya, she got invitation from various sports club like the softball club and the ballet club, but...
it looks like she turned down everything in the end.
Earnestly choosing the kendo club.
>panel 7 I see... she must be a girl who focuses on one thing without looking at anything else.
Bravo! (Text)
Mmmm, not exactly.
>Last Panel I wonder why she chose the kendo club.
Hey, hey, did you hear? Kojiro-sensei, you see,---
>Panel 3 Eh?
Why am I practising kendo....?
>panel 7 I can't say it...
I can't possibly tell her my true feelings when she asked me with such serious eyes...
>Last Panel I joined the club by mistake. Just like that, I couldn't say anything about it so I just keep on doing it...
X Volume 8 extra chapter (Text)
Hmmm, that's because kendo is my calling!
Let's just deceive her with a vague answer.
BB pg 050 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 In jodan, there are hidari-morote-jodan where your left foot comes forward and migi-morote-jodan where you take stance with your right foot forward.
People generally use hidari-morote-jodan.
>Panel 2 The most important thing is readiness.
You focus on the opponent with "come at me whenever wherever" feeling.
Readiness......
>Panel 3 Jodan is an offensive stance that ignores defending.
It's useless if you're not confident about it.
There won't be distance for offense and defense, so the only thing you can do is to focus.
>panel 4 You can assume that you'll lose if you move even just one step.
>panel 5 So... you need a lot of courage.....
>Panel 6 I think you can do it, Saya.
The point of jodan is to intimidate your opponent with your height. // This is perfect for you because you are tall enough.
>Last Panel Above all, a full offense style such as this-
perfectly suits reckless people like you.
BB pg 051 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 3 Jodan's moves are generally single-handed moves!
>Panel 2 Then, let's do the same practice with everyone.
We'll slowly start from the basic with chudan.
>Panel 3 Tama-chan,
this is my real answer.
>Panel 4 It isn't just-
about liking or enjoying it.
I need kendo so I can become an adult.
I suppose that's the gist of it?
>Panel 5 But you know, Tama-chan.
>panel 6 As I thought, my number one aim is----
>Last Panel Everyone, assemble!
BB pg 054 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 You've been told through mail yesterday, but we're going to Kyushu tomorrow.
To watch the Gyokuryuuki tournament.
>Panel 2 And so... we have a problem with the budget...
We can't possibly get any from the school, so the school is out of question.
And there's also a limit as to what I can help with the budget...
>Panel 3 I can cover the expenses for departing flight and lodging, but I'd like you guys to pay the returning flight by yourselves.
We understand that.
Don't be so reserved, Sensei! We'll pay ourselves if it's just that much.
>Panel 4 I'm sorry.
Let's together with everyone then.
>Panel 5 Let's scout the battlefield for the sake of next year!!
OOOOH!!
BB pg 055 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 This is my first time getting on an airplane...
Is it alright...? It won't fall?
Don't worry, I'm here with you.
>Panel 2 Have you gone to Kyushu, Tama-chan?
Nod Nod (thin text)
Yes, since both father and mother are originally from Kyushu.
BB pg 056 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Almost last panel (In case someone feel like editing that out ;p) Waaaaah!
>Panel 6 She beat two Sanyou High members in a row!
Aah...
>Panel 7 Sueno-san!
>Panel 8 Sueno-san, you don't have to come out there!
Just leave the rest to us!
>Panel 9 No,
please let me.
>Last Panel Why!? Why can't you have faith in us!?
We're teammates, right!!? Sueno-san!
BB pg 064 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Of course I do have faith in you.
But, this is a problem of my own personal feeling.
>Panel 2 Please, let me do this...
I won't cause you trouble....
>Last Panel Sueno Shouko.
Her movement is clearly dull!!
BB pg 065 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 She looked even more worn out than when I fought two matches.
She looks like she already past her physical limit.
>Panel 3 I should be able to close in with this speed!!
>Panel 4 (NOTE: this line here could mean a few things, they are "to make someone realize", "to take revenge on someone", "to teach someone a lesson" or "to get even with") to get even with them.
>Panel 5 With the ones who are watching from over there,
BB pg 070 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 If you were to fight her... will you be able to win, Ura?
>panel 3 No...
Right now,
I am not qualified to fight against Sueno-san.
>Panel 4 But,
soon...
without fail...
>Panel 5 It's regrettable that Sueno is graduating from high school.
>Panel 6 Yamada who quits the club also can't fight in the tournament.
Just when Ura finally returned to the kendo world, but whom could she call a rival now...?
They live here. Since they heard that Tama-chan was coming, they're here to meet her.
>Panel 5 We'll wait at the store over there then.
>Panel 6 (NOTE/TRIVIA: Tama's grandparents speak with dialect. Not sure what dialect though, maybe Kyushu dialect?) I see... so you're going home today, huh?
>Panel 7 You can just take your time and stay here.
Hahaha (Text)
I came here with everyone, so...
>Panel 8 I will come here with father next time.
...Is that so?
That's too bad~ (Text)
>Last Panel In that case, why don't we eat some delicious foods for today?
Okay.
BB pg 076 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 Go ahead, help yourself!
>panel 3 Th-
thank you for the foods.
>Panel 4 Oh, this cream anmitsu looks really good.
>Panel 5 Next year, I'm sure Sakaki-san will come to that place. // ...But,
I won't be there. // Sueno-san who is graduating also won't be there.
>Panel 7 I'm worried about Sakaki-san.
>Panel 8 Worried-----...
>Last Panel I'm worried-
if she would ended up getting isolated again...
BB pg 085 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 I'll say this bluntly.
Sakaki Ura, // that girl is-
>Panel 3 an idiot.
>Panel 4 (NOTE: sfx for shining/glittering "paaa" is the same as "my head went paaa/blank" thus unable to think like an IDIOT) (RANT: Took me a while to understand like Tama-chan. Sorry, I can't invent a joke so I can only explain what's going on. Well, I was looking at Ura's expression when I realized the joke, so I chuckled, kinda.)
Always brilliantly shining.
Paaaaaaaa (SFX)
>Last Panel "Ah, she must meant about being a kendo idiot",
>Panel 4 Practising with utmost effort, to the point of risking their life,
both of them have been devoting themselves so that they won't lose to each other, so that they can surpass each other.
>Panel 5 I am....
>Panel 6 Compared to Sawamiya-san,
and Sakaki-san, I........
BB pg 091 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 See you, Tama-chan.
Thank you for today.
Don't be....
>Panel 2 So, your house was a dojo.
How nice... I'm jealous.
>Panel 3 If it's fine with you...
>Panel 4 May I come here again?
>panel 6 Next time,
I'll come with my shinai and armor...
>Panel 7 ......Yes...
>Panel 8 Oh?
>Almost Last Panel (NOTE: tsukemono --> Japanese pickled vegetables) She went home already?
I just wrapped up some tsukemono for her.
BB pg 092 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Is she a friend from school?
>Panel 2 Nuh-uh.
Oh, she's not?
>Panel 3 I felt like I saw her somewhere...
Uuuuumu (text)
>Panel 5 Father.
Hm.
>Panel 6 The dojo......
Will I inherit it someday?
>Panel 7 Haha, unlike in the past, I'm now practising kendo as my hobby.
The dojo is pretty much just in name only.
>Panel 8 You don't need to worry about it, do whatever you wish to do.
>Panel 9 But, I would like you to help me just for a little bit more.
This must be hard for you but I'm sorry.
Nuh-uh.
>Last Panel Father-
has always been reserved towards me.
BB pg 093 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >panel 1 He's not strict towards me.
He never told me to become strong.
>Panel 2 That's why,
I never thought about getting stronger.
>Panel 3 When you win a match,
you feel happy.
>Panel 4 When you lose,
you feel mortified.
>Panel 5 --------But,
>Last Panel I have-
no such feelings.

>Bottom Panel Sensei,
why are you practising kendo?
BB pg 103 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Just so you know, even if you ask me, I doubt you can use my answer as a reference.
>Panel 3 Men are such a simple creature.
>Panel 4 They're practising because it's cool, or because they want to get stronger. It's something like that.
>Panel 6 Then... Sensei.
>Panel 7 Sensei,
what do you want me to be?
>Last Panel .....I want you to grow up.
BB pg 104 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I couldn't-
give any answer.
>Panel 2 I am still immature myself after all.
I couldn't give her a clear suggestion, I only made things harder.
>Panel 3 You have to find the answer yourself.
All I did was running away.
>Panel 5 Whoops.
>Panel 8 Tama...
>panel 9 You see...
the problem it's not what I want you to be...
>Last Panel I...
BB pg 105 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 Oh, you also have a club activity today?
BB pg 108 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- no trans needed
BB pg 109 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 This time, we will have a chat with a kendoka housewife.
>Panel 2 Kawazoe Tsubaki-san (22)
>Panel 3 What is your goal, Kawazoe-san?
>Panel 5 Why are you-
practising kendo?
>Panel 6 As I am just a novice, people may think that what I'm about to say is too conceited, but......
I am doing my utmost right now in order to convey the ideal to the young ones.
>Panel 7 It is the feeling of gratitude towards kendo.
Fuwah~, what a fine goal.
>Last Panel Up until now, I have kept on swinging shinai from morning to evening, but-
the more I practice, the more I feel that I just started walking down this unimaginably long path.
BB pg 110 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I don't tell people to the point that kendo will make them successful or healthy.
However, I do believe that conviction towards kendo is the one thing that draws people to kendo.
>Panel 2 I watched people who walked down this path.
If the children who are currently growing up obtained the same conviction as me, I think I could say that my belief holds true.
>Panel 3 The children will then grow up further.
And if they pass that down to the next generation,
>Panel 4 that would mean my kendo will go on ceaselessly.
>Panel 5 That is-
my dream right now.
>Panel 6 Fuwah~ what a magnificent goal---
Now that I said it out loud, it really sounded exaggerated.
But to sum it up, I'd like everyone to enjoy practising kendo.
>Panel 7 I will teach my students about how enjoyable kendo is,
and then my students will teach the students of the next generation how enjoyable kendo is.
>Last Panel If everyone could be happy that way, then I'm happy myself.
BB pg 111 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 4 Why am I practising kendo?
Fuo? (Text)
>panel 6 That is, of course.....
because I've always loved kendo!
>Panel 7 I wonder about it myself....
And I'm really weak at it.
Strange, isn't it?
>last Panel I like the kendo's ideal,
I also like looking at people doing practices and matches because they look cool.
I also like to just swing the shinai.
BB pg 112 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 I even like sweating from practising kendo,
and the shriek that sounds like a weird bird.
I love everything of kendo, // absolutely everything.
>Panel 2 I guess...
I can't explain it clearly.
>panel 3 Is that so...
>Panel 4 But, it's different now, Tama-chan.
>Panel 6 Right now, I have a crystal clear goal!
I've found it!
>Last Panel And that is-
to become like you, Tama-chan!
BB pg 113 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 2 To be just like you, Tama-chan.
I want to become a strong, dignified,
and cool girl!!
>Panel 4 That is-
my dream right now.
>Panel 6+Last Mother.... (Bubble)
My-
number one goal is------
BB pg 114 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 to become someone like Tama-chan.
>Panel 3 You're a genius, aren't you? You can write any kind of script, right?
I refuse!
>Panel 4 An all-female superhero story? You want me to write that kind of story?
Spare me your sleeptalk.
>Panel 5 Please, Ushimatsu-sa~an
You wrote writing Black Duran in the end, didn't you?
>Panel 6 That's just a worthless story wrote by a man.
I don't wanna write anything else besides the man's way of live.
>Panel 7 Sorry, but try someone else.
Go home.
...Uuh...
>Panel 8 Um... please contact us if you had a change of mind.
Keh! (Text)
Goodbye!!
>Panel 10 Hmph.
BB pg 133 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1 Hot-blooded!! Banish Academy Summer Break Special (on TV)
>panel 2 Sensei,
it's starting.
>Panel 3 Uh-huh.
>Panel 4 Come on, leave that for later.
Come're, come're (Text)
Uh, no, my students took the trouble of coming here, so I thought I should make something good...
Eeeh, but it's cool. (Saya text)
>Panel 5 Come, come, have a seat.
Yeah, yeah.
BB pg 134 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Panel 1+2 But really, I'm so looking forward to the response of today's broadcast.
It'd be a waste to do this just for one time only.
Let's do a kendo program once again with Erina-chan as the main from the beginning.
>Panel 3 We're planning for it, of course.
>Panel 4 Next time, I'd like to include not just the active kendoka, but also those who still have something left to do back in their school days.
I'm sure there are many people who are thinking that if only they didn't stop, or that if only they tried harder.
>Panel 5 Just like Sawamiya Erina-----
>Panel 6 Aim for all Japan championship...!?
>Panel 7 Even the office wants you to come out there as a kendoka.
Seems like it's earlier than the office's plan, but- // this is the occasion.

Frame3: 友達中学ん時吹奏楽部の部長でさ When I was with my friends in middle school I was the leader of the brass band 全国の大会にも行く憂愁な部だったんだけど We went to all the competitions, and were considered the Best of the Best 高校入ったらもうやんなくなっちゃった But when I entered high school I stopped doing it ２００万もするフルート買ったのに And I already bought a $20,000 Flute

Frame6: そりや 女子高生 だもん And that is a high school girl for you SFX: ぱあああああ TAAAADAAAAA
Page88:
Frame1: 遊びたかったり勉強に身を入れたかったり I wanted to hang out, focus on studying… バイトをしてお金を貯めたかったり And have a part time job to save money
Frame2: 年頃なんだ気持ちはわかる I understand the feelings of a teenager all to well でもささきはそんなレベルじゃない But Sakaki is not the same （Literally...Not at the same level but this sounds more natural）
Frame3: 中学の全国大会で優勝しているだぞ日本一強かったんだぞ At the Junior High School National Championships She took the championship as the strongest in all of Japan. おいそれと捨てられるもんじゃないと思うんだが I didn’t think she could throw that title away so easily
Frame4: 第一高校に入学して１年は剣道部に入っていたんだ When she entered high school she was a part of the kendo club for a year 中学卒業を機にやめたわけじゃない She didn’t even stop when it was her middle school graduation 何かあったとしか思えん Something must have happened
Frame5: て事はやっぱり It must be that after all だっちゃね Yeah I bet Frame6: しかないっちゃねえ She’s not the only one ねー Totally
Page89:
Frame3: 男か ABOY!!!
Frame4: 彼氏できたらやめるよね When you get a boyfriend you should quit つかさ剣道やってたら彼氏できないいっしょう Yeah, cause when you do kendo you won’t have time get boyfriend
Frame5: 男か A BOY!
Frame6: つかさ剣道やっとったらさ You know, if you do kendo, まずできないっちゃね 彼氏 Don’t you think it’d be hard to get a boyfriend?
Page90:
Frame1: 男なのか？ A BOY??
Frame2: だって臭い面かぶって胴つけて乗れつけてその上竹刀振るまくるんだよ ‘cause in kendo, you put on that stinky armor and helmet plus waving around shinai 男がよってくるわけがーー！ Like any guys want to get close to that kind of girl SFX: わあああ Whaaaaaah
Frame3: 男なんだな！！ It CANT be a BOY! 間違いないでしょう But we are probably right

Frame5: 去年の玉竜旗か Oh its last years Gyokuryuuki （Gyokuryuuki－Kendo rally in Kyushu） 桃竜学院の先鋒がそっくりだったんすよ It has Touryou’s entire advanced guard
Page94: Frame1: 九州の桃竜学院か。。 Kyushu’s Touryou Academy… キリノが言うんだったら他人の空似じゃなさそうだな I doubt it’s an accidental resemblance since Kirino said it
Frame4: どうだ タマ How about it Tamaki へ？ Eh?
Frame5: どうって What is it…?
Frame6: 運命を感じないか？ Doesn’t it feel like fate? 偶然街で会った子が Meeting that girl accidently in town
Page95: Frame1: お前と同じ匂いを待っていて It’s the person you’ve been waiting for… （Literal meaning is like “The one with the same smell as you we’ve been waiting for….but I think this is a better way of saying it in English XD）
Frame2: はあ。。Wha… えーと Um 別に Not really― On her skirt-タマ Tama
Frame3: SFX: はっ AH! （Surprised sound） つまんなーい Borrrring タマちゃんつまんなーい Tama-chan is so borrrring On cup－茶 Tea

Page96: Frame2: うーん なんか Yeah…what was that? わざとらしいすね It’s unnatural
Page97: Frame1: 自転車置場 Bike Shelter
Frame2: でもさキリノ But Kirono その榊さんは九州の人でしょう That Sakaki is from Kyushu right この前は修学旅行だから東京にきてたってだけで So before she just came to Tokyo cause of the field trip そうだよ Exactly
Frame3: じゃあどうせ全国大会にでも行かない限り試合する事はないんだよね Then we won’t be able to play in a match unless we get to the National Championships って事はもう会う事もないんだろうな With that being said we probably won’t every meet
Frame4: 会うよ We’ll meet へ？ What?
Frame5: 絶対会う We’ll definitely meet
Frame6: だって全国大会に行くもん We will even get to the National Championships
Frame7: えー Wha… 本気で言ってんのキリノ Are you serious Kirino
Page98: Frame1: 全国なんて団体戦じゃ行けるわけないし Even though it’s possible for us to make it to the team competitions 個人戦も。。いくらタマちゃんでもわかんないよ？ But the individual competitions too…I don’t even know if Tama chan is up for it. あでも But…
Frame2: そのくらいの結果をこの部が出さないと If we don’t put out our best efforts こじろ先生来年はこの学校いられないからね Kojiro sensei won’t be here next year
Frame3: 絶対行く We’re definitely going to make it そして桃竜学院と戦う And it’s going to be a fight against Touryou!!

Frame4: はい気をつけます！ Yes I’ll be careful!! それではさようなら Well then, goodbye あこら ちゃんと前見て HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!
Frame5: ひきゃあああ HYAAAA あーあほら A— H Hey

Page 31 Frame1 修学旅行生だったみたいね。 It looked like we were students on a field trip。。
Frame2 ん？ What?
Frame3 あ 街で会ったあのコ Ah...You mean about the girl we met in that district? SFX: おお！ Ohhh! SFX: ごそごそ Rustle Rustle
Frame4 そうだね Right 制服でグループで街にいて。。。。 By our uniforms, we looked like a group from the same district… 修学旅行生だね So like students on a field trip
Frame5 結局お礼言いそびれちゃったよー Eventually, I am going to be thankful to miss what you say ポカーンしちゃって We all looked blank （On the side it saysポカーンリプレイ Blank face replay） だってスタスタいっちゃうんだもんあのコ Because of that, that girl walked away really fast don’t ya think.
Frame6 何者だったんたろ。。。 I wonder who that was…
Page 33
Frame1 あのコ達のグループ That girl was from a pro group 少し会話が聞こえたけど訛りがあったよね I heard a little of their conversation and didn’t it seem like they had an accent?
Frame2 あ あたしもわかった Oh yeah I hear it too あの方言はー That dialect…
Frame3: 九州！ KYUSHU!
Frame4: 気になってるねキリノ Feeling anxious are we Kirino?
Frame5: そういうサヤも Saya is that kind of person too
Frame6: だったあのコのー Because of that girl the atmosphere…

Frame2: あのコも剣道やってないかなァ。。。 I wonder if that girl plays kendo… うーんどうなんだろ Well I’m not… SFX: むにむに Mumble Mumble Side: さすがに。。。 Indeed…
Page 35
Frame1: へー Eh! そんな事があったのか Was there such a thing?
Frame2: そいつは絶対剣道の達人だな She must be a master swordsman Side: まちがいない I am sure of it そうなの？コジローせんせい Is that so Kojiro-sensei? なんで分かるのさ先生 Wｈy do you say that Sensei?
Frame 3: ああ“剣道の達人は剣道の達人と惹かれ合う”ってのをどこかの本で読んだ事がある Ah..There was something in a book I read ”A master swordsman is attracted to other master swordsmen” きっとそのコとタマキは巡り合う運命だったんだ Surely, It was destined for that girl and Tamaki to come across each other.
Frame4: へー そうなんだ Ehhh…so that’s how it is. すごいねタマちゃん！ That’s amazing Tama-chan! SFX: なでなで Pat Pat
Frame 5: はあ。。 Oh… 運命ですか。。。 It was fate…

Frame3: 別に。。。 Not really… かな I think
Frame 5: えーなんでなんでさー Ehhhh!! Why..Why is that?? 剣道で戦ってみたいとか思わないのーー？ Are you thinking of not doing Kendo anymore? Note to scanlator - It says along the lins of "Thinking of not fighting by Kendo anymore？”But I think this represents more of the hysteria that is going on and jumping to conclusions… スポーツマンガの基本でしょうー！！ This is the basis for a sports manga!
Frame6: えっと Ummm…
Frame8: やっはり。。。 But still…
別にかな Not really…I think
