No chapter next week.
This chapter won't take too long to scanlate. If I fall asleep before it's cleaned and redrawn, it should be out tomorrow morning.
After I'm done dumping this, I'm going to read this week's King of Gladiators/Shabaou and, if it's as good as I'm expecting, I'll make a dump thread for that.

Every time they show this scene i think.
What a disgusing sand, will they ever clean that shit ?
So, yeah, that's Hakuhou.
End chapter.
who's this guy?
He's Iwanami Chaos, a mixed martial artist who has never been defeated in Japan.
So he's a jobber in the proper sense of the word, for once.
thanks for the dump
new guy looks like clean Motobe lol
Yeah especially here , pretty sure the meme master got an almost identical panel during Musashi Dou.
Jobmobe will show us how powerful this sumofighters are...we totally gonna get impressed by how effortlessly they fuck him up. 10/10 writing.
so itagaki is doing this because he's sympathetic to whatever real life sumo politics is going on right? so the western equivalent would be him doing a story about taking a knee?
This series was announced well before those things happened, if memory serves.
counting the musashi part, yes. sukune's at most a year old right?
What are you talking about?
At any rate, Sukune was shown at the end of Musashi Dou in April(?) 2018.
if you count baki dou from the beginning (musashi) then it definitely preceeds whatever IRL sumo stuff is happening now. though from what i can recall from previous discussions, the IRL sumo stuff has been going on for quite a while.
>the IRL sumo stuff
That means nothing. Refer to something specific or your point is unclear.
The Takanohana stuff did start happening a few months before the first appearance of Sukune, but it didn't hit its apex until almost exactly that time - by which point Itagaki had surely already at least drafted the chapters.
>mma fighter
>doing some kind of meme punch instead of actually keeping his distance
Who's the tiny guy based off of?
Enhou.
The rest, excluding Hakuhou, are much harder to tell. I am of the opinion that the tall one is Dewagatake.
Not him but I could have sworn I heard a long time ago that sumo was losing respect in Japan. I think it was when that Go Nagi looking sumo series about that moral-less dick MC started and that it was doomed to fail because nobody cared about Sumo.
I might be misremebering or manufacturing events in my head so I dunno
>MMA Fighter
>The bell isn't being rung already because a hit landed.
No, you're right, but those are various issues spread across decades. Though, in large-part, those affairs were just the products of doomsayers. It's only this most recent one which actually had any percent of the general Japanese public pissed off.
Where does one can find full Maximum tournament and first Jack arc?
On all scanlations sites i have trued they are for some reason absent
they aren't scanlated
you have to take the raws
On that matter, I now have to reupload some 1,000 pages because fireden shut down and fucking desuarchive lost the image data for 5 volumes of my threads
How many IRL Rikishi actually have cauliflower ears?
That tall as fuck guy is probably at best 6 foot because of Japan and their weird sense of scale
He's 7.6 feet
i mean a backfist is not really a good choice for an opener but meh. I expected worse
What an absolute and complete unit.
>He's the one who will face Shibukawa
DOPPO BEST BAKI
> Not Hanayama
So i don't get it, was Scarface drawn by Itagaki or the guy which he works with? And who writes it?
Itagaki is given the always nebulously defined 'production' credit; Yamauchi is listed as the artist. With the way the industry works, the fashion in which Itagaki contributes is essentially unknowable. They might mean that he created Baki and is therefore technically responsible; or, they might mean that he storyboards each page of the series; or, anything in between.
The art looks really good for it to not be done by Itagaki himself.
Miyatani Kengo is just that good
El Pacquiao blanco.
i wonder who this guy is gonna face.
>six sumos
>Baki, Katsumi, Haneyama, Doppo, Shibusawa, ???
Is Jack going to show up or maybe someone else or what?
i hope jack but wouldn't be surprised if motobe jumped into the mix
>motobe jobs to sumo again
humbled ali jr. replaces him and becomes a baki bro.
sounds good to me
Never gonna happen.
Real life Ali Jr is a shitter so Itagaki dropped him
I know Nippon Banzai and all that jazz, but Itagaki knows Sumo has a horrible record with actual MMA fighting right?
It's probably the 2nd least winning style after Akido.
that's why i'm curious as to who from baki's side loses
and che guevarra was a real life ninja.
at this point, any sense of realism has long been thrown out of the window so that's kinda moot. what matters is do we enjoy the ride or not?
just watched the netflix anime and I really liked it ignoring the cgi fights, should I watch the 2001 series?
>Baki
>Not just telling you a few key points and making shit up along the way.
This is a series with a dude who can pull down a helicopter or close to it and man who beat up elephants well getting struck by lightning. The fighting realism only needs to detail actions the people take and be smart it doesn't matter how retarded it is in real life. In most real fights with no bars held people die very quickly anyways.
I've only just started reading, and I'm on "son of ogre", but I LOVE this guy's art style.
I mean that guy who's supporting Sukune said earlier that the current world of sumo is sort of shit, maybe it'll be like the Raitai tournament where most of/all the sumo get stomped?
that's what i'm expecting but which baki boy is gonna lose?
>and che guevarra was a real life ninja.
I mean you can excuse it because he's a legend.
Meanwhile Ali Jr is literally a nobody with a legendary name attached
The fuck? That's it? Itagaki you fucking hack.
Jack is a safe bet.
i knew that was coming
Katsumi with Retsu's arm jobbing is a guaranteed shit storm so that leaves Jack in the unenviable spot of making the competition look good. Is Jyaku Kaioh available? He'd job but it'll be amusing at least.
This chapter giving anyone else Garouden vibes?
i'd love to see jyaku make a comeback
He outright talks about it in the end of Musashi Dou.
I'm guessing shibukawa since he alluded to wanting to test the limits of aiki. might find that it can't beat some sumo or something
son of ogre is great, have you got the pickle the caveman yet?
>if motobe jumped into the mix
It's never good when this happen.
shibukawa
I think that we all assumed that his comment was about Sukune, because of the bone-grabbing. That's the only thing I can think of which could be *logically* considered to be beyond the limits of aiki, because you can't manipulate your skeletal structure.
Translator-kun, what are your thoughts on Kengan Asura?
bros... all I want is for jack to get another cool fight. I was so happy when he kicked ali jr's ass but he's been all downhill since then
Why do they all have cauliflower ear unlike other characters in the series? Sumo isn’t even a strike sport.
doesn't mean they don't fight other people who aren't sumo
It's Sukune II
cauliflower ear comes from grappling... doppo has it too.
I think it's an interesting and altogether different (read: not comparable) manga. I read it weekly. Though, I confess that I am much more interested in its story than I am in its characters; for this reason, I think Kengan Omega is, presently, too slow. Who worries about how we get there? I just want to see the hood lifted, the face of the man in the iron mask, the name of the sled. Codger and Rookie buying shirts doesn't quite grab my attention.
Where can I read the one shots about the 4 prisoners ? What's even the name of these one shots ?
Revenge Tokyo:
mega.nz
Dorian and Yanagi don't have an English translation as far as I'm aware
You didn't think Jack vs Pickle was cool? He lost, but it was still pretty cool.
?
you're right, he's a fairly obvious candidate to lose.
>Itagaki remembers that Jack knows aiki too so that he can lose here for this reason
>but he's been all downhill since then
It could be worse. He could have fight against Musashi and fucking died.
Not him but I liked that fight though, not ending I wanted but I didn't find it hard to believe (compared to Jack getting Memetobe'd). Pickle should've died instead though.
Pickle always felt like a non-character to me, killing him off instead of Retsu would have been much better. Would have made Musashi seem even more impressive, even if he did beat Pickle later on
Why is Jack such an endearing character? He's my absolute favourite of the series and seems to be in most people's top 3, but I really can't pinpoint what exactly makes him so popular
Had the best fights in the Max Tournament arc + Sad backstory that will never be resolved because Yujiro's character role has changed
I think he's lame now though to be honest, his fighting style used to be pretty varied but now he's just Haneyama except with muh biting instead of muh grip. He's going further and further off the deep end with the drugs too which no other character seems to be bothered by.
>Mom raped and and became mentally scarred because of it
>Wants to avenge her by beating Yujiro and is willing to go through literally anything to be stronger than him
>Has a hype way of fighting
>which no other character seems to be bothered by
Maybe because he seems to be able to survive it. Anyone else would have died from what he took in the tournament.
Honestly we could do with a decent length Jack Gaiden
Shame he was put aside, it would've been nice if he and Baki actually developed a brotherly relationship, albeit an estranged one
I hope Jack actually manages to surpass Yujiro someday, just mention it in an epilogue or something
Speaking of characters completely shoved aside, Kaku Kaioh fight when?
Kaku is just too strong I think, who would he even fight?
A lot of the other Kaiohs coming back might be fun but I feel like if that was going to happen it would've happened by now
>Jack Gaiden
That would be something which I would insist Itagaki draw himself. There's no way one of the assistants could pull it off just right.
I get why he can't (I mean him not being Jap is the main stated reason why, I feel like Itagaki didn't used to care about this sort of thing as much early on though...), he's fucking up his body.
>Anyone surpassing Yujiro
>Jack surpassing Baki
The best we'll ever get is Long!Jack fighting Yujiro and doing a decent amount of damage, ending in Jack either getting killed by Yujiro or having a heart attack
>him not being Jap is the main stated reason why
when was that ever stated
That's always what people here say whenever someone asks why Jack's a loser
>Anyone surpassing Yujiro
Baki is definitely going to surpass Yujiro someday
>Jack surpassing Baki
This is why I said to mention it in an epiloge, Baki has already beaten Yujiro at that point and then Jack accomplishes the same at some point in the future
>Kaku is just too strong I think
This seems to be implying that Pickle is stronger
Sure, but nothing like that has ever been written in the manga.
Jack needs a teacher figure or something to sort his shit out, dunno who could fit that role though.
I'd like Jyaku and also the Muay Thai dude to come back.
>Jack needs a teacher figure or something to sort his shit out, dunno who could fit that role though.
Shibukawa would make sense since he already knows some Aiki
i fucking love jack man
i like kengan too but you summed my feelings up perfectly. it irks me when i see people try to shit on grappler to prop it up.
YFW Jack improves physically, mentally and emotionally by no longer wanting to avenge his mom.
That's just screwed up but scarily plausible.
Shibukawa teaching Jack perfect Aiki would be kino
I could settle with Memetobe acting as a mentor
Alright, done. I don't think we really need a new thread, so, whatever.
Chapter 37: The Yokozuna's Cross-Discipline Match
>This happens when his mom does, her last words telling Jack to let go of his revenge
Fuck, I want it right now
God damn it, it's giving me duplicate file errors.
I hope Jack gets the demon back even if just once
End chapter.
And this.
wait, did this guy call it?
thanks for the read!
nice. thanks translator-kun.
Itagaki sez:
>The fruit called ume has boundless potential. CHOYA is making a fool of ume.
End transmission.
Let me guess, Gacha pull?
thanks for the dump
So how hard will NotMemetobe job?
>bottom right
Looks like a father and his children
Big guy seems pretty chill
Not exactly, but that's what I tried to make it into. He uses a gambler's idiom which refers to having good luck and which uses the word 'pull'. In sumo, 'pulling' is considered something a rikishi shouldn't ever do; you should push. We could follow this a little further, but let's not.
he's the one i wanna see fight the most
I have a feeling he might fight Hanayama
he's a perfect matchup for hanayama
They're both cool, honourable guys. They'll probably become good friends
Where do I get this legendary Ume fruit?
Will I get as strong as Yuujiro if I eat those!
A statement from a blog I've found might help to answer the former of your questions.
>... the North American ume crop is small and the season short: The fruits are only available in stores for two to three weeks around late May/early June.
So, if you're American, at least you know *when* to look.
>baki-dou thread has become a jojolion thread
I don't know what that is or means.
main villain's goal is to expand his family's fruit company.
