Baki Dou 172 unwilling translation

chapters like this are why most of us don't buy volumes, aren't they?
on that subject: volume 18 should be out and uploaded by now (it came out 2-3 days ago), so I'll update the mega whenever. Though, I doubt that many of you use it, even now.

Chapter 172: Amusement

>Musashi: Boy.
>M: You say that you...
>M: Will kill me?

>Baki: Well..
>B: It's embarrassing to hear when you say it like that.
>B: Musashi-san.
>B: You don't belong in this world.
>M: Boy.

>M: Even I realize that.
>M: This is not a place where I can climb by cutting.
>B: So, you knew.

>B: Still, you cut way too much.
>M: Hmm. And you wish to take revenge.
>B: Well...
>B: That was the plan...

>M: Alright!
>M: Then, wreak it upon me here!

>M: I cannot climb, yet, I still cut.
>M: I know of nothing else.
>B: Isn't gonna happen.
>B: Even if I were to beat an exhausted version of you...

...

>B: See?
>B: Just look at this.

>B: Normally, I'd have been cut clean in half.
>B: You're not really "Miyamoto Musashi" anymore.
>M: Little boy...

>B: Exactly.
>B: Right now, you can't even cut this little boy.

>M: Mm...
>M: Sometimes, I talk to no end, even with boys.
>M: I wonder if it will still be amusing.

I am somewhat uncertain about the second line. Musashi's speech is often a bit obscure, but this line is particularly strange. Chances are that I'm right, but be aware that I might not be.

...

>B: Thanks,
>B: For being soft there.

>M: I shall repeat myself.
>M: In this place, come, take your revenge.
>M: Now. Right here.

>Tokugawa: Don't harass him like that.
>M: Ohh...
>B: Old man...
>M: We were able to meet again, Tokugawa!
>T: Your bath's all ready.
>T: You're coming home tonight.

>M: Very well!
>Utsumi: ESCORT THEM!!!

>M: Heh-heh...
>M: What a great rise I've made.
>M: Is this not...
>M: Climbing well by cutting?

Forgot to say "End chapter". So, end chapter.

Anyway, here's a recent photograph of Itagaki (right) and some Hawaiian fighter (left). There's an actual date for their open chat thing at UFC Fight Night Japan, now: it's on September 23, at the Saitama Super Arena. So, if you are going to be in Japan around then, and would like to see/meet Itagaki, there's your chance!

There's also a brief interview/chat with the two of them in the magazine. I haven't the energy to translate it, as it seems to be just meaningless back-and-forth, in a manner similar to all Japanese talk shows. Though, there is a neat take-away:

Fun fact: apparently, when Itagaki was 19, he spent a month living in the wilderness in the mountains. He spent that time thinking about means by which he could take down a bear in a fair fight. Abe Daichi, the 19(?) year-old Hawaiian, calls Itagaki a dumbass for that.
I stopped reading after that.

So, anyway, I guess that Itagaki used and/or uses experiences from his own life as a source of inspiration in making bits of Baki. He's an interesting fellow, Itagaki.

Itagaki sez:

I solemnly swear this: I shall read a new book every week! And I won't cheat at it!

True end chapter.

Dou will end by ch 300 right?

there is no end to Musashi's Wild Ride

Strong is Beautiful.

>when Itagaki was 19, he spent a month living in the wilderness in the mountains. He spent that time thinking about means by which he could take down a bear in a fair fight
What the hell.

Oh, wait, I just looked at it again. I was wrong. Mistook a particle. He was just asking Daichi if that was what *he* spent his time thinking about. Serves me right for skimming. Daichi still calls him retarded, though.

DOPPO BEST BAKI

Thanks OP, stay strong.

I actually enjoyed the chapter

I like the whole "climb through the world by cutting" concept mentioned throughout and ended on, and even if it riles people up I think the sudden bath time is a well overdue funny moment

>222
>september 23
if we aren't hit by an asteroid or die in an eq, sure

Memetobe save us

So he knows he won't be able to climb up in modern society yet still he seed climbing up by cutting.

I'm glad they didn't Punk Ali. His son however.

He's probably referencing all the natural disasters happening recently.
