BAKI DOU 138 TRANSLATION

CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR NOTICEABLE IN THE CATALOG

Once again, the prospect of my actual scanlating of a chapter has been ruined by cancer scans. I may just start buying the digital versions. Maybe not. I don't really care. Saa na. Ikimashou!

>Chapter 138: This Is War...

>Interviewer: First, here.
>I: Then, here...
>I: Then...

>I: Up here, to finish.
>I: Huh?
>I: No...
>I: It *really* felt like I was being cut.
>I: It was something that I "understood".

>I: Through my head,
>I: My torso.
>I: The feeling of a katana having cut through... I understood it.
>I: After?
>I: I blacked out.
>I: The next thing I knew, I was in a hospital bed.

OAD FUCKING WHEN,JUST GIVE THOSE FUCKIGN 10 MINUTES ALREADY YOU GREEDY FUCKING NIPS,I SWEAR TO FUCKIGN GOD I'M LOSING MY MIND HERE

>I: .........
>I: Uh...
>I: Just the thoughts you'd expect.
>I: "Ah!", "I'm dead." and so on.

>?: He's standing.
>?: Exchanging a few sentences.

>?: Right here.

>?: His exit.
>Eiichiro: I can't see this supposed katana.

>Kenichi: Moreover, not one finger touched him.
>K: That's what makes this so difficult.
>Narrator: Criminal Investigation Department Law Enforcement Official, Taku Kenichi
>E: It's you falling on your face.
>E: Seems to be the clear reality to me.
>N: Criminal Investigation Department Law Enforcement Captain, Hikigi Eiichiro
>K: Sensei, what do you make of this case?

>Manabu: Our goal is to build a crime.
>M: Manufacture one, as it is.
>N: Tokyo High Prosecutors' Office Public Prosecutor, Uohori Manabu
>M: The reality of the case doesn't matter.

And our character of the week, Joe Fraz- uhhh uh uh
I mean, Joe Crazier.

End chapter.

Poem of the week is an excerpt of an absurdly long poem; this is Scene VI by Paul Bowles:

It is our fault we love only the skull of Beauty
Without knowing who she was, of what she died.
We have the thief's guilt, but not his booty,
The liar's spasm without ever having lied.
The sick locust scrapes his injured song,
His thorax only partially destroyed.
Retching is prohibited. It's wrong.
The murderer feels no hate he can avoid.

Now flies bite worst where the skin is broken.
Illness triumphs. Lesions. Soon tumors sprout.
The bloated plants quiver, the seeds will be shaken.
'Your head's bashed in, darling. Look out.'

-Bowles, 1940

Let me know what you think of the chapter, and of the poem!

I resent bumping my own threads but I am, by no means, above doing it.

Thanks Alot. Are Chapters 130-138 translated?

Holy crap, Musashi is HUGE. He has like 20" forearms or something, what the fuck?

In the world of Baki, the things auxiliary to the main parts will be as large or larger than the main parts themselves.

Calves larger than the thighs.
Forearms larger than the biceps.

They should be, yes. But I am uncertain as to whether or not I've actually provided them, *where* I provided them, etc, etc. Here's the desuarchive links to the ones I know of out of that list, I guess:

131: desuarchive.org/a/thread/148993211/

I *know* I did 136, I *know* I did 133; I have the text for 137, and I have no fucking idea what happened to my document or translation for 130. I could swear that I did it. Search the archives and batoto for that stuff.

Pickle is the absolute worst/best fucking example of this.

Oh, here we are.

Thanks

So he's after the gov/police? maybe after he's done with them he'll tell Tokugawa to take the reigns and reinstate the feudal system.

I don't see how this is anything but filler when there's only one person left for Musashi to fight, unless the idea is to make Baki more motivated to fight him.

It could be Musashi vs Yuujiro round 2, given that the US and Japan have whatever alliances; and that Yuujiro sort of has an equal sense of duty towards helping either.

So any news for the OAD?

I'll ask right now.

Do you think they will also include judoka?

Who wants to have the translation for 137, in the translation for 138 thread? I don't, but I'm also not going to make a second Baki thread. Iku zo.

>Chapter 137: Rescue

>Strydum: You are deciding...
>S: To give orders to me.

>S: That's that.
>S: Given your orders, I do as told.
>S: But, hypothetically...
>S: If you were a member of my family,
>S: You could pull on me, but I would never let you do this.

?
The characters in the character of the week are (well, now) minor characters that have appeared generally once or twice in the manga. They're not just made-up models of real people in the Baki universe.

>S: It goes without saying...
>S: That your life's security cannot be guaranteed.
>H: [incoherent scribble]
>S: Hm?

>H: I said shut up!
>H: Old age catching up, perhaps? You're getting hard of hearing, aren't you, Captain Strydum!

>S: Mrs. Hinary.
>S: There is so much that you don't understand.

Yes, "Hinary".

>S: This is something for which you will need to suspend your common sense. This is in a different realm altogether.
>S: Radically different.
>S: He's a monster.

>H: Noo puroburemi.
>H: The Ogre...
>H: I'm not entirely unfamiliar with him.

>H: Indeed,

>H: I haven't been defeated yet!!!
>H: From the hands of that man,
>H: I will rescue the United States!

>H: And to start it,
>H: Coming here is unavoidable!
>H: Because he is...
>H: Because his existence is...

>H: The concept of military force itself!

...

...

>Yuujiro: I do not accept your oath.
>Y: You should have expected that I would refuse.

...
Like, wtf?

>H: Your wife, Mrs. Emi,
>H: Was a friend of mine.
>H: She was a lovely woman.
>H: Don't you agree?
>H: That's why...
>H: That's why I want to make an oath...

I love how he draws Trump.

>H: To swear for myself, to you...
>H: From the bottom of my heart...
>H: Please...
>Y: You don't need to swear.

>Y: If you are a friend of Emi, I will guard you.
>Y: But,
>Y: If you try to swear to me regardless, I will rape you.
>Y: Over and over.

Last line of last post was supposed to be on this page.

>H: A monster like you...
>H: Would have no trouble raping me.
>H: So,

>H: I'll back off.

Character of the previous week was [cancer scan], AKA Andrey Valev.

End chapter.

Imagine being Yujiro in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Hillary Clinton, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your flabby body and horrific wrinkly mummy face. I would totally rape you, both as punishment and for my own pleasure." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his hotel room. Like seriously imagine having to be Yujiro and not only stand in that doorway while Hillary Clinton flaunts her disgusting face in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her epileptic eyes and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that oath. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on the floor tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to stand there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of wealthy heiresses and female soldiers and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Vietnam. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled face as she tries to suppress a seizure to gesture suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to stand there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then she calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this building before the army could arrive, but you sit there and endure, because you're the fucking Ogre. You're not going to lose your Friendship Pact with America over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

ok

every thread

My dudes, wasnt the new Baki OVA supposed to come out dec 6? Where is it?

We're waiting on a reply from the guy who said he'd do it.

Okay, thats cool, How much does the OVA cover? And is it true that there is gonna be another tv series soon?

>how much does the OVA cover?
Apparently ~10 minutes of material; the first few volumes.

>is it true that there is gonna be another tv series soon?
Yes. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) for us, the OAD ended up being little more than a trailer for that TV series. I don't think we have a date on its airing yet, though.

How many times have we gone through "character describes he has been cut without actually being cut"? This is getting really redundant.

This is like the third or fourth time it's been described. It's *happened* a million times, but I think only Sabu, Payne, Gaia and this guy actually describe the event.

You'd think one would be enough.

Feels hot reading this.

So...
Did Baki stoppew being relevant at all? What was the point of making him one of the strongest creature alive?
Damn I'm mad at this arc.

Did you forget about the second series, in which Baki was barely even a character? Just wait. It'll get better.
