fuck okay
this chapter was confusing at times, but I got it done
the phrasing for some of this is completely untranslatable, so try to bear with anything that sounds unusually bizarre
case in point: the fucking title - there's no more accurate word which I can find, despite how silly it sounds
fuck it let's just do this
>Chapter 141: Aloofness

No, I don't know why "family" and "relatives" are separate items on the list.
'Forgive' and 'allow' are the same word in Japanese, so the second line is slightly unclear.

>H: You were a war strategist, right?
>H: Then act according to that wisdom of yours.
>H: Don't make us act as policeman's rope.
Remember hojojutsu? That's the reference here. He's appealing to Musashi through reference to his era.

End of chapter. Thoughts? Concerns? Criticisms? "Stop with the Musashi shit, Itagaki" comments?
Thank you for this, great work.
Is he giving up here? what does he mean he has no problem? excited for the next chapter.
Wrote up a decently long response to you apologizing for the vagueness of the line and explaining it, then realized I mistranslated it anyway. Putting my lips back around the barrel of this gun.
The line is actually:
>But to capture me, you'll need them.
Musashi is a nigger
what are you talking about, he's not Okinawan
Bump for M-dog and the Heebs
DOPPO BEST BAKI
>Muh solitude
Fuck you Itagaki
Make him die or job fast enough and let's get to the next arc, Memesashi has been terrible.
I hope he gets an Ali Jr. tier humiliation train ran on him. He kind of deserves it at this point.
