Fun fact: Ryuukongou and Kuzumi Kouhei are the two guys we see fight when Katou first visits the underground arena.
I want to cough just looking at these pages
End chapter.
And this.
End transmission.
So Sumo is going to beat Baki and we're going to get another conga line of jobbing until Baki fights him again just like what happened with musashi, right?
>I don't trust you yet
Has there ever been a vetting process to these battles? It seems like he always let anyone come in no matter their status before.
There's always been a process. That said, he's not saying that he doesn't trust Sukune's strength. I think Tokugawa's expecting Baki to force out whatever bad habits/intentions he's hiding. For example, if he habitually tries to cripple people instead of just beating them, that would be good to know. I don't think Tokugawa is willing to allow the fighters get permanently hurt anymore.
thanks for this you're a godsend translator-kun
Always welcome. But, it's not just me. Stew deserves your praise, too, nowadays.
damn that reference to the yokozuna/wrestler bout is a deep cut
bingo
He better be more careful, we lost one of the best cause of his terrible choices.
I think they'll fight to a stand still, and Baku will do something that confirms tokugawa can trust the sumo. Bakis always been a decent judge of character.
thanks to stew as well. you guys' efforts are much-appreciated.
Well, it's not as if we're going to lose Baki. Which I imagine is/was the point of picking him for this trust fight; it doesn't put the readers on edge.
Sorry, can someone explain what's a Tsuyuharai is?
Oh I just noticed the final image with the explanation, rip.
It looks like Baki has facial hair in this panel
If I'm understanding correctly, its like his corner man in boxing right?
yep pretty much a second or attendant.
I wasn't really joking; the tsuyuharai does nothing. Watch the man who moves from the front of the line to the back and then to the front again.

That's the extent of a rikishi's role as tsuyuharai. In their own right they are makuuchi-ranked wrestlers of the same stable as their respectively attended yokozuna but, in the context of the role of tsuyuharai, they do next to nothing beyond that.
Historically/religiously, the purpose of the tsuyuharai is to ensure that the yokozuna is not touched by dewdrops on plants. To this end, they walk in front of the yokozuna so that they may 'clear away the dew' before he steps wherever there's dew.
Panels like this are why I love Baki
Theyve only met twice and already this man wants to be his friend. Maybe the real strength was the friends we made along the way.
Hey Translator do you have a place where I can read the rest of the "Baki Dou" series? Or do I have to search the archives?
The answer to your question depends on what you're looking for. If you want my super rough drafts, they're in the archive. If you just need the raws, they're in the mega, along with everything else. Unfortunately, we're still finishing the scanlations. The redraws are apparently hellish to slog through.
I hope Sukune kills Jack, I could never stand him and his roids
I hope Sukune gets BTFO.
SHUT UP YOU JOBBER
no u
>that fucking stroll
People who dislike this art are such fucking plebs, holy shit.
Same. His entire character is pointless, since he literally HAS to job. Otherwise, it would show that cheating beats hard training, which goes against everything this manga stands for.
Extremely well put
it really is great.
baki is gonna get thrashed huh
