Baki Dou 186 translation

oh look, the raws
not like we've been waiting or anything

>Chapter 186: Close Distance

>Gaia: It's become a reading match.
>G: This is really high-level.
>G: They're reading for the moment before the thought, the decision to act, is made.

>Motobe: He isn't even aware of it, himself.
>M: It's a struggle before the origin of the mindset.
>M: It's a bit much when put into words, but...

Here we go (next next chapter)

>M: What's going to happen isn't gonna change like that.
>G: What...?
>M: There,
>M: Look.

>G: He's gonna casually...!?

...

>Audience: What - what just happened!?

>Baki: You weren't lying.
>B: You really can see it.
>M: That speed makes three hits sound like one,
>M: And four sound like two.
>M: He saw the whole deal.
>M: Well, you can't pull off what you can't pull off.
>G: Cer... certainly.

>G: Even though an amateur...
>G: Will completely see the pitching form,
>G: They can't possibly be expected to hit a pro pitch.
>G: Against a volleyball player's...
>G: Attack,
>G: Against a pro boxer's...
>G: Simple straight -

>G: No matter what you know beforehand,
>G: You can't respond with ease.
>Musashi: Now, then.
>M2: Time to get warmed up...

>M2: ['hmph' in kanji]
>M2: HMPH!!!
>M2: Hmph!!!

>M2: Hmm.
>M2: Good.
>M2: The weight is there.

>B: Eek...
>B: They're even clearer than before...
>B: The hamon,
>B: And even the glint, is so clear...
>A: He's holding something...
>A: Those are katanas that he's holding!

>M2: Cut.
>M2: Pierce.
>M2: Stab.
>M2: Strike.
>M2: Cross.
>M2: Freely, may I do these things.

>M2: I...
>M2: In this modern world, truly, am free...
>?: "Crossing..."
>B: Whose words were these...

TN: Musashi changes to archaic Japanese for the first panel. No idea why.

>?: "Crossing blades...
>?: "Beneath the sword, surely, must be hell...

TN: This is a quote of unclear origin that is apparently frequently attributed to Musashi.

>?: "In advancing a step...
>?: "Thereafter lies Paradise."

>M2: I, also, like close distance.


End chapter.

Itagaki sez:

>Bank transfer scam laws need to be made more severe, now. Show the faces of these people to the whole country, or have them publicly executed, or something...!


End transmission.

More evidence for Musashi having not even started getting serious
Also, the imaginary swords, how strong are they really? And what's the advantage over real swords? There's a distinction between these instant "mental cuts" that don't actually cut but trick you into believing so (works on Baki, didn't on Yujiro) and an actual imaginary sword strike (which damaged Motobe's aramid jacket, a technique which Motobe claimed would have killed Yujiro)

Itagaki got longnosed it seems. Watch out for the final Baki anatagonist to be a Krav Maga expert from Israel with extensive financial backing and supernatural powers acquired through blood libel

The hand attack with which Musashi hits Motobe pretty explicitly does not hit his coat.

I don't know anything about this series except for this page
but it seems pretty gay

wow judgmental much you fucking homo-disabler

does champion have any sort of haremy rom com? a la bokuben/5touben

Thanks for the translation user.

Thanks. Im getting too much deja vu from this match

bump

were never going to get away from musashi are we.

Best Husbando is here!
Apparently so, damn shame since this arc is a broken record since more than a year, nothing interesting happened outside of Memetobe becoming the Ultimate Warrior and the gayest scenes in the entire manga with Memesashi sucking Pickle's finger.

I don't dislike him. Most Baki arc antagonists are really less interesting than Musashi
Pickle, the Convicts, Muhammad Ali Jr....All lame
Oliva and Yujiro are just about the only major opponents for Baki I liked better

DOPPO BEST BAKI

Based Dopposter

>the Convicts
>less interesting than fucking Musashi

We need a gag manga of Musashi in current times freaking out over modern technology
These moments were maximum CUTE

Dorian Kaioh was the only one I kinda liked. I don't even remember the names of the others save Sikorsky (which was a jobber with a lame ability)

The delinquent harem.

I’d give Dou about 90 more chapters then part 5 of Baki will happen.
Aliens or demons arrive, maybe trump builds a robot fighter.

>I don't even remember the names of the others
I could understand Doyle but how can you forget Speck's fight with Hanayama munching on bullets or Yanagi getting Memetobe'd out of the blue?

Sikorsky's ability was cool, don't lie
It was just underutilized/used wrong in the narrative, since Baki needed another conflict with Yuujiro

>Aliens or demons arrive
Nah. The author needs to drum up Baki X Yujiro again. It's obvious their "final battle" didn't settle matters

Also, I wish Baki would fight Shibukawa or Doppo. I think they're the only major fights that haven't happened on any capacity

I wonder if group shots are embarassing to draw when you have same face syndrome
