>Chapter 152: Instant-Cut

>Narrator: When they appear...
>N: Cutting them.

>N: Storming slashes...
>N: And, suddenly, utterly disappearing.

>N: In losing their commander, they became a group preparing to run away.
>N: From this... demonic assault coming in waves.

>N: On this occasion, those who should have been the best troops...
>N: Were staying in a clump, without moving.

I have absolutely no proper idea of how to parse the second line here. Apparently, one of the words there is a rare, archaic term for "staying in a place" which has some root in old 'art of war' and 'swordsmanship' crap - like about a blade being "traveling" while in motion; you know the sort. Nontranslatable, so I'm just telling you this.

>Cⁿ: How may people have been cut!?
>Cⁿ: 10 men were taken down!
>Cⁿ: Who's next...?
>Cⁿ: The STAT...
>Cⁿ: ...Is not experienced with this kind of fight!!!

>T: GET AWAY!
>T: GET AWAY FROM THE CARS!
>N: Here, one man put on a grand display.
>N: Police Inspector, Tanuma Hikoji

>N: Tanuma, the STAT's number two...
>T: LISTEN UP!
>T: FROM NOW ON, THIS UNIT...
>T: IS COMMANDED BY INSPECTOR TANUMA!
>N: Invoked his right of command.

>T: CARS 1 THROUGH 6!
>N: The STAT...
>T: GO AROUND TO THE FRONT OF THE CARS!
>T: CARS 7 THROUGH 12!
>N: Is starting to move again.
>T: STAND YOUR GROUND AND BE ON GUARD!

>T: COVER THE GAPS BETWEEN THE CARS!
>T: CUT OFF BOTH WAYS!
>T: TWO OR MORE PER LINE!
>T: WATCH BOTH DIRECTIONS!
>T: TRAIN AT LEG-LEVEL!
>T: AIM AT BELOW YOUR KNEES!

>Musashi: Fool.
>M: Run...
>M: And hide...

>M: Those who appear...
>T: UP THERE!!!
>M: Will be cut!

He's repeating what he said to Utsumi & Friends 14 chapters ago. Totally memorable. I had to look it up to make sure he wasn't referencing something.
I guess Utsumi is the only fuckin smart cop in this world; he's the only one who seems to have taken M-Dog up on that offer.

>N: The STAT are Japanese citizens.
>N: Thus, they definitely understand:

DOPPO BEST BAKI

>N: Two-Sword Style...
>N: This is very, very bad!!!

And then, apparently Baki's getting a color page next week. Itagaki's doing some event at Yokohama with an MMA guy in a couple days. End chapter, I guess.

Here's the guy with whom Itagaki's doing whatever in Yokohama, if anyone is interested: Tenshin Nasukawa (天心那須川)

He's not particularly well-known in the global community, but Japan's Wikipedia page for him is like 40+ paragraphs long. He is, apparently, a major 'up-and-comer' in the fighting world.
