Foreword - to the raw source: if you pull this shit again with the volumes later, I will find you.
Alright, let's, ah, let's fuck this duck, shall we?
>Chapter 109: Tameshigiri
Tameshigiri is the process of trying out a new blade on persons or targets to determine its sharpness and/or value/merit. This technically isn't a new blade, but whatever.
>M: What's all this?
>T: It's what warriors use to practice.
>T: This is a clay model of a person, wearing...
>T: what we call a Western "suit".
>T: This is a policeman, wearing a bulletproof vest.
>T: A riot police member with a shield.
>T: A Self-Defense Force member.
>T: And a straw training post.
>M: Straw training post...?
>T: We can't afford to cut people anymore,
>T: So this invention was a necessary measure.
>M: This thing?
>T: You have a bit of personal experience with killing people, Musashi-dono. Perhaps this object is not worthy of your cut.
>T: My heart's throbbing.
>T: Musashi-dono in the flesh, and that great treasure at his side.
>M: Turn my hips. Draw the blade from my waist.
>M: Hmm...
This is a pretty clear callback to Pocket-Hand Man.
>T: What kind of sharpness test was that?
>T: It was like he cut through tofu...
>M: Get well out of the way, Tokugawa.
>M: MUN
>T: Th- The shield was cut in half!
>M: MUN
>T: He went through both arms in one swing!
>T: Vertically!?
>T: He's going to cut something apart while holding the sword vertically!
>M: MUN
>T: The orientation of his sword keeps changing.
>T: Will he cut up everything in here from top to bottom?
>M: MUN
>T: What... what an amazing sensation. (not fucking with you, he says "kimochiii")
>T: Let's...
>T: Let's end this, please. Since things are like this.
End of chapter! Sucks.
And then we get yet another character profile that I'm not going to do. If you guys care enough to beg arstavial or something, he might be up for it.
Please don't let another Baki thread die, guys. I miss legitimately discussing the series here with a bunch of different people. Stap lurking and start posting.
Really, what was the point of this chapter? Just more masturbation to Musashi?
>>141713733
Yeah, pretty much. I mean, especially with the kimochiiiiii thing.
>>141713806
Where does he go from here? Will Baki ever leave the basement? Is Ali Jr. The next to fall to the madman?
>>141713852
>Will Baki ever leave the basement?
He left last chapter, slowpoke.
>Is Ali Jr. The next to fall to the madman?
Hopefully, I'd love to see him try his evasion tactics on Musashi, have them work against his sword, and then have Musashi just throw his wakizashi at Jr and kill him. It'd be the perfect blend of ebic, historically appropriate, and funny.
>>141713852
>Ali Jr kills Musashi in a chapter
>>141714348
It would honestly be better overall if Ali Jr. just never came back. He's like the Woli of Baki - there was no real reason for him to be there/exist in the first place.
Ali Sr., on the other hand...
>it's another "Tokugawa jizzes over how awesome Musashi is" episode
>Retsu died for this.
>>141714724
Kimochiiiiiio
Musashi was a mistake.
FUCKING STEEL FOLDED TEN THOUSAND TIMES
HOW THE FUCK THEY FUCKING WORKS? STEEL DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT
>>141713019
thank you a lot mate, also here's a bump
>>141713381
>mun
wasn't it 'nun' on other chapters?
>>141713852
next on the line is memetobe jobbing
Does anyone here have the jack hammer pany punch panels?
I lost it when my old HDD broke down.
>>141713585
What a dick move. Musashi still rocks, though.
>>141715680
A strong gun used by a normal man could maybe hit 1 vital organ in 6 shots, a gun used by a professional, 3. This is the equivalent of Musashi not only hitting 6 vital organs, but absorbing the recoil so he turns the non-automatic into an automatic
>>141716190
musashi being a dick is his main personality trait so far.
And of 90% of the baki cast.
>>141713019
This made my breakfast break. Thanks OP. It is amazing after how many volumes Baki still manages to remain interesting.
>>141716494
Agree with you.
Discovered recently because of Garouden, still it's always a pleasure to read.
Btw this is my favourite arc so far, Musashi is a really compelling antagonist. The thing with him it's that he's completely straightforward with everything he does, yet his expression is always ambiguous or unreadable.
Fucking love Musashi.
So, was this foreshadow?
>>141716190
Actually it's called self-promotion, something Musashi learnt well centuries ago!
>>141716902
yes.
also, that yujiro v baki fight was the best in the series so far by far.
DON'T YOU DIE ON ME!
>>141713670
Baki threads are slow burners, sadly.
What the fuck happened to Pickle, did he lose or what?
>>141718479
is that a fucking alien?
>>141718652
Musashi lost his interest in him because he saw that he could defeat him easily.
>>141718697
LMAO. the author is almost masterubating over this guy.
>>141718907
he's been masturbating o him since before the arc >>141716902
Now imagine if Musashi got BOTH of his old swords back
>>141718968
He was masturbating to him even before THAT
>>141718968
Think it's common with manga author to venerate glorious Nippon. Musashi is a historical figure comparative to king Arthur so of course he's gonna be strong as all hell.
>>141719093
Like where?
>>141713337
Why'd he drop the honorific here? I thought he was always formal and shit.
t. doesn't know japanese
This chapter is pure masturbation from the author.
Was wat the pint of showing musahsi just cutting things.
>>141719459
I know right. We've already seen him combat more firece enemies that this dolls. What's the point.
dont die please.
>>141719165
>>141720673
what chapter was that? it's from, son of ogre I get.
>>141719505
>>141720638
>>141719459
The point is to see musashi using his very own sword from back then, how sharp it is and the fun he gets with it.
It's also retarded because we've been already told that he has finally developed the technique that allows him to fight with any real sword so...
>>141720759
It's from the Baki Olivia fight. I dunno what chapter, though.
>>141720926
I'll look for it, want to see how it's referenced.
To make this thread more lively post baki reaction images as I lost them with my HDD >>141715929
Retsu will be back right? right?; ;
>>141723380
he'll come backin flashbacks
>>141723380
The series can go anywhere at this point. I half expect him to come back a cyborg.
>>141718990
I wonder why Tokugawa didn't get it, actually. I didn't really think about that before.
>>141719416
Because he's in the middle of pretend combat, I guess. Musashi isn't particularly formal with Tokugawa anymore. As I recall, he went from using -dono to -san, and the last two times he's said "Tokugawa", he hasn't used any honorific at all.
>>141720673
>that TL
why
>>141720926
>>141720759
how about this, this is easier
>>141723040
I refuse to save the skirt ones, so here's a different Jack.
Everything on the left makes for a fine reaction image, as does Yuujiro's face on the right.
>>141725128
but anon, the skit ones are amusing
>>141725222
for you
>>141725402
am I a big guy?
>>141725750
No, because I haven't read Tough either
hahahahaha you'll never be able to make me
I've never read Baki but why is Musashi so fucking moe
>>141726044
cus he's the most neutral character in the series, in all senses
except for maybe Kuriyagawa
>>141713019
>Baki Dou 109 translation
Was there 108 and below?
>>141727527
I didn't do them all, but there's quite a few I've done
Realistically, these are just tideovers until we start getting Dou chaps out again, which should be pretty soon, but idk our publishing schedule. We're like 1 chapter up though, so it's not like we're withholding stuff
Mushashi vs Oliva when
I need that
>>141729350
Oliva has nothing on Musashi, even if he has been training his arse off.
>>141729650
I know that Mushi will beat his ass. But the interaction is what i want to see
>>141729650
>Muh slabs of steel abs
>Musashi cuts up slabs of steel and police shields this chapter
I guess that's that. I dont think oliver will ever win a fight where he doesnt stand around like a retard, grin and do his typical thing. (And I love him for it)
>>141723380
Retsu will get back when musashi dies and he meets his soul and inherits the japanese swordmanship on top of his 4 million years of chinese martial arts.
>>141730089
Oh fuck, could Tokugawa's sis put two souls in the same body?
>>141730815
If a man can fight a T-rex, win and then eat it, I guess two souls in one body is possible too.
