>Chapter 158: Beautiful

>Kizaki: Talking to him *now*?
>K: Boss...

>K: Yeah, it's rude and all, but...

>K: Boss...
>K: Miyamoto Musashi...
>K: Surely you know who he is, right?

...

>K: S-sorry...
>K: Of course, of course you know who he is.
>Hanayama: "Miyamoto Musashi", he's...
>H: He's from that, you know... those historical plays... Those, uh...
>H: Some samurai...

>K: Huh...?
>H: Right, right...
>H: And "Sasaki"...?
>K: You're right!
>K: That's him, Boss!

>K: He's in historical plays, and he's a samurai,
>K: For sure.
>K: But, Boss...
>K: Is that all...?
>K: Is that all that you know about Miyamoto Musashi?
>H: Why?

>K: "Why"?
>K: You're about to go out to fight that samurai!
>K: Before Musashi came along, people didn't use terms like "the strongest"!
>K: He's a swordsmaster among swordsmasters!
>K: The strongest in the all-time rankings!
>K: The greatest of all man-killing experts!!!

>H: Cool off, Kizaki.
>H: Training because you wanna win...
>H: Investigating because you wanna win...
>H: That's not pure (beautiful).

>H: He chopped down Retsu Kaiou.
>H: He terrified the Metropolitan Police Department.
>H: Gotta be strong, right?
>H: That's enough.

DOPPO BEST BAKI

>H: The stuff that you pick up by chance...
>H: That's enough.
>H: Wanting to know anything more than that...
>H: Is disgraceful.
>H: There's no beauty in it.

>K: That's right...
>K: It's because he was that kind of man...

Thanks Baki author me as a reader completely forgot who is Musashi, thanks for this. Thanks.

>K: ...That I followed him,
>K: To this day.
>K: That's why I'm coming with him,
>K: Today, too.

>K: That verbal promise...
>K: He protects it himself, in person.
>K: Whatever information he has about his opponent is fine.
>K: Whether it's a samurai or a priest, it's fine.

Anybody know what the fuck Hiro just did? I'm now getting cancer ads popping up on here, even though I've got like 3 separate ad blockers working in tandem. I swear, I'll kill him if it can't be fixed.

>K: Whether they're strong or weak,
>K: He's fine with it.
>Cops: Thank you, sir!

No idea, weird part is that it sometimes blocks them, other times not.

>H: Sure...
>H: Where is he?
>C: Approximately 70 meters behind us.
>C: He's facing this way, and is currently approaching.

AdBlock with 4chanx here, haven't seen anything odd.

>Gays: Huh... What!?
>G: A photo shoot?
>G: This a movie set?
>G: He's huge... a foreigner...?

Same set up as this guy, werks on my machine :^)

>Musashi: ...Even so,
>M: This world is entertaining!

End chapter. No extras, no news on the fucking anime. Death to Itagaki. Death to Hiro.

guys what if the musashi had a jetpack

over under on him dying?

Don't worry guys Hanayama has Oliva under that trenchcoat and they are abot to tag team Musashi

He won't die.

This screams death flag so much though.

jesus christ, those fucked anatomy

How? Pickle had more flags than this, and he's (presumably) fine.

pickle was a new challange for the already established crew, he was fine. Pickle was a hype character and so is this guy. Whats a better way to hype then to kill a jobber? Especially after he says

>Especially after he says
ment to delete that.

I mean in Pickle vs Musashi.

Musashi was a fucking mistake.

you don't say

Musashi shoudl'vee kn9mjrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt¡894t

When will Yujiro give this guy the proper beating he needs

...

Will Musashi get absolutely trashed by all of his previous challengers after second showdown with the Ogre as a revenge?

Just like Ali jr.

We hope so. That's been speculated as the intended course for like the past 60-70 chapters, but it hasn't started yet, so we're starting to grow skeptical.

What's the purpose of wrapping up the waist like that?

Sumo.

I know about the loincloth, but they wrap their waists as well?

The wrapping itself is an old samurai tradition, inherited by the yakuza (for whatever reason). It's called 晒, pronounced "sarashi", but you won't find any real results in searches unless you specifically look for something like "晒 ヤクザ". Virtually nothing comes up about it in English, so it will be a waste for you to try to do much searching on it. You're just gonna find a bunch of nonsense about uncomfortable breast-binding. Fuck that shit.

Anyway, coming back from my drifting and tangents - the purpose of wrapping the waist like that is twofold: it was worn as an undergarment in samurai times (Japan is cold in the winter), and it was intended to prevent the intestines from spilling out should a samurai be cut down, across the waist. Both utility and ceremony.

It's not a mawashi. He's wearing a fundoshi, and the sarashi is worn directly above that.

I know too much about sumo. And Japan, in general.

Thanks senpai.

So Hanayama is expecting to die?

>So Hanayama is expecting to die?
No, it's something that you might wear anywhere, depending on who you are. Like I said, samurai would wear it under their regular, day-to-day clothes. If I'm to predict why Hanayama's wearing it, I would say that he's simply wearing it to show Musashi - who is, of course, familiar with the custom - that he is willing to fight to the death. He's made a preparation that nobody else in the era has yet.

nice to know, thanks friend

s'what I'm here for, friend

>a Hanayama fight
i've been waiting ages for this

One more thing,Sarashi amplify the body strength too by help to sustain the core muscles, atual power lifters use especial belts or ataduras in similar fashion

You are talking about 2 different things.

Power lifter belts are meant to act as extra core muscles to prevent injury. They can enable you to lift heavier by taking the place of your core muscles if you're weak in that, but they don't give you a direct benefit if you already have adequate core for the lift, just a safety measure. This is why they're allowed in power lift competitions.

Power lifter suits do provide direct benefit on lifts because the elastic fabric stores energy on the negative part of the lift and releases it on the other part. They can increase lifts by a pretty big amount and they are not allowed in competitions.
