I think it was just a Shoudo player on drugs. He was dressed like a shoudo player, plus he was saying some nonsense. And she wasn't defeated through the game since she wasn't wearing a vest, so it's not like the king was actually defeated. But Azura attacking soon to exploit the...
@Heap @sweet-potato
Yeah, the yakuza situation is very strange and complicated.
As I understand it, yakuza groups register themselves to the NPA (National Police Agency), and send them lists containing information on their members (addresses/names).
It's not outright illegal to be Yakuza, but...
@Sinful_egg
Batuque batch just ended at 47! Also, Usogui will go to 402.
We'll catch up to Batuque raws (relatively) soon.
@Lithe
Yeah, I think you nailed it. At first I thought it was because he was actually sick from being in the water a few chapters ago.
@Veshv
Yeah, that line definitely sounds like it could mean either. If Hal did something to train her up to 100, I suppose we'll see. We've no idea what he's been up to with Nobuko after all, besides making her a king.
Also that scene is pretty suspicious. I thought there were more outlaws for...
@Veshv
I think Nobuko was already level 100, or close to it. The devs mentioned she was the most senior player, and she was already high class during the fortress incident.
But yeah, Hal finding her is way too coincidental. The outlaws that ambushed her were supposed to be under Jonglyo's...
@the9813
Yeah, you're right.
@belkrax
It's the other way around, BK is using up more time to make his moves and will time out first, so he's the one who 'fell' for it. (Though we all know he's got a trick up his sleeve)
@299792458
It'll be somewhere in the 400s! 😁
@299792458
It'll go to 49!
@Zhou
Yeah I agree, it was really sudden and disorienting. It felt like it could've used some panels of Ichiri doing something normal before getting ambushed.
@Veshv 😄
No, I don't believe there's a version without any text bubbles. You'll probably have to settle with erasing the text. It's also possible for someone to redraw it if they have the skills. There's a lot of great panels in this manga that have text bubbles in them unfortunately.
@BossCrab...
@299792458 @Ghetsis
Oh man, I couldn't quite put my finger on it until you mentioned it, but that Yukiide connection feels critical here. I definitely agree with all the hints about BK having a health problem. I've always suspected the kariume doubling as some sort of medication. Actually, now...
😢
That Baku realization scene was done so well. It affected him so much that he's back to his older hairstyle.
It was also bit odd to see how groggy he was after waking up, it's rare we see him like that.
The author went out of his way to remind us about Lalo and the Fortress incident...
😢

This batch will end at 390. We'll have another super batch shortly after; our translators have been working very hard!

@Ghetsis
Just to add to the Bandai thing (I was confused too), I believe him going for the pill would've costed him getting hit by Mitaka...
Mitaka having a ranking battle seems odd/unfair considering her hand is still busted.
Had to do a double take on that jojo pose. The glasses adjustment is so good, I swear the author gave him glasses just so he could give him a reason to make that pose.
@299792458
At least 386. But there's a good chance it'll be even longer!
@RapidLord
That's an interesting theory about the concealers. I'm curious as to why the island needs to do all this shady stuff in the first place, is it because the island doesn't make enough from the players to sustain...
@Sinful_egg
No, we'll start again soon! 😁
@Jonui
That theory reminds me, way back at the Mt. Fuji arc, Lalo somehow got the leader's cell number to talk to him. Maybe he indeed had a double agent within Kakerou that allowed him to get it, that should definitely come into play this arc. Would...
@299792458
About Floyd being there with outlaws, I have one guess: Lalo was probably thinking the exact same thing as Hal and Baku: trying to ignite his faction's citizens via taking a fortress. But his method was going to be this: let the outlaws in his control from Shoudo/Tipa take the Azura...
The batch'll stop at 376!

@rennov
Yeah, he hasn't had a really big play in awhile, not in this match or in the battleship arc. His KY declaration and bull game were pretty crazy in comparison.
Maybe his final step of becoming Baku's equal will come from a match against Fukurou. I'm...
@Veshv
No idea for certain, but I'm guessing that the minimum is 1 bios, since they have been betting it as their "lowest bet to get the shield". This sort of thing happened way back in the Labyrinth game too, coincidentally. The author seems to have an implicit rule of making 1 the minimum bet...
