1. The hand will never surpass the eye.
Copy !req
2. If you don't have an eye that can judge quality,
Copy !req
3. you can't hope to create
something of value with your hand.
Copy !req
4. This is a commonly used phrase among creators,
Copy !req
5. but it applies to all kinds of fields.
Copy !req
6. Someone who has a good eye,
Copy !req
7. will improve far more rapidly than those without!
Copy !req
8. When I throw my right hook,
Copy !req
9. he immediately sends a left uppercut!
Copy !req
10. He's totally different from a moment ago!
Copy !req
11. He's improving!
Copy !req
12. By devouring me!
Copy !req
13. He's knocking me down with such grace!
Copy !req
14. His face is wide open!
Copy !req
15. I can hit it!
Copy !req
16. Even with Divergent Fist!
Copy !req
17. However!
Copy !req
18. He stopped my fist with his forehead before it could reach full speed?
Copy !req
19. That's not what I want you to devour right now.
Copy !req
20. Your Divergent Fist stems from the lagging cursed energy
Copy !req
21. which can't keep up with your superhuman speed, right?
Copy !req
22. That's quite the technique.
Copy !req
23. Your average sorcerer wouldn't know what's going on.
Copy !req
24. It carries plenty of force too.
Copy !req
25. For opponents on that level, at least!
Copy !req
26. But it won't work against special-grades.
Copy !req
27. What will you do now, my friend?
Copy !req
28. I'll apply cursed energy at the exact moment my strike hits at full strength.
Copy !req
29. Good!
Copy !req
30. Then why is your cursed energy lagging?
Copy !req
31. It's because of how you're channeling it!
Copy !req
32. What?
Copy !req
33. Wait, weren't we talking about channeling it faster?
Copy !req
34. We all channel cursed energy.
Copy !req
35. Many sorcerers have to do this consciously.
Copy !req
36. "My stomach's full of rage."
Copy !req
37. "The blood's boiling in my gut."
Copy !req
38. Theory is that cursed energy nurtured on negativity
Copy !req
39. starts from the navel and flows throughout the body.
Copy !req
40. Starting from the navel to the chest,
Copy !req
41. then the shoulders, arms, and finally the fists.
Copy !req
42. Thinking of your own body as individual parts
Copy !req
43. is what delays cursed energy.
Copy !req
44. The idea of channeling cursed energy like that isn't wrong.
Copy !req
45. But that's just the first step!
Copy !req
46. There's no need to limit yourself by that concept.
Copy !req
47. The flow of energy for an elite sorcerer is difficult to read.
Copy !req
48. But for different reasons than yours.
Copy !req
49. Do we think with our guts?
Copy !req
50. Do we use our minds to express anger?
Copy !req
51. Listen up, Itadori.
Copy !req
52. We exist in this world with our entire mind, body, and soul.
Copy !req
53. It's so obvious that everyone has taken it for granted.
Copy !req
54. Thanks, Todo.
Copy !req
55. I think I get it now.
Copy !req
56. Looks like we're done talking.
Copy !req
57. I won't hold back.
Copy !req
58. I'll guide you with my full strength!
Copy !req
59. Don't die on me, Itadori!
Copy !req
60. Rise up to greater heights!
Copy !req
61. Hey, you there.
Copy !req
62. Your old fart told you to kill Itadori, didn't he?
Copy !req
63. This girl has good intuition.
Copy !req
64. No, that was probably Panda-chan.
Copy !req
65. Huh? What are you talking about?
Copy !req
66. You really don't need to hide it.
Copy !req
67. I'm out to kill someone too.
Copy !req
68. Especially that bitch Mai,
the watered-down version of Maki.
Copy !req
69. What?
Copy !req
70. Don't "What?" me.
Copy !req
71. Even Pepper-kun would give a better response.
Copy !req
72. So you do get angry.
Copy !req
73. I'm crazy mad too, you know!
Copy !req
74. Oh, come to think of it,
you guys have your own Pepper-kun, don't you?
Copy !req
75. Maybe I'll scrap it and dump it off somewhere.
Copy !req
76. Scary.
Copy !req
77. Panda-senpai!
Copy !req
78. It's a cursed corpse. It won't die.
Copy !req
79. He won't be moving for a while, though.
Copy !req
80. Now, who were you calling Pepper-kun?
Copy !req
81. Hold on, Mechamaru.
Copy !req
82. I'll personally beat this rookie into cute shape.
Copy !req
83. I'll teach her about Mai-chan's hardships
and what it means for a woman to be a sorcerer.
Copy !req
84. Got 'em.
Copy !req
85. Wanna take the spotlight?
Copy !req
86. You should've stayed in the shadows as support.
Copy !req
87. Well, let's just get along,
Copy !req
88. since we're so similar.
Copy !req
89. Damn puppet.
Copy !req
90. What do you know?
Copy !req
91. Good grief. What happened to hunting curses?
Copy !req
92. Sword Option:
Copy !req
93. Boost On!
Copy !req
94. Ultra Spin!
Copy !req
95. Can't you keep still?
Copy !req
96. I need to finish this quickly.
Copy !req
97. I'd rather leave him be and go help Nobara,
Copy !req
98. but this guy can attack long range.
Copy !req
99. It's not like I know much about
Mechamaru, Nishimiya, or Miwa, anyway.
Copy !req
100. You're strong.
Copy !req
101. What grade are you?
Copy !req
102. I'm guessing this is where everyone stands.
Copy !req
103. It's a little too much for Nobara to handle.
Copy !req
104. I doubt my rating against curses is needed right now,
Copy !req
105. but since you asked,
Copy !req
106. I'm a Semi first-grade.
Copy !req
107. Yikes!
Copy !req
108. Yikes!
Copy !req
109. Yikes!
Copy !req
110. Ultra Cannon!
Copy !req
111. His attack range is huge!
Copy !req
112. Heat emission!
Copy !req
113. It's a technique with big build-up and cool-down.
Copy !req
114. This level of power is pointless
unless I hit his core dead-on.
Copy !req
115. Cursed corpses.
Copy !req
116. An inanimate object that is
endowed with a curse and gains autonomy.
Copy !req
117. Man-made cursed corpses always have a core that serves as their heart.
Copy !req
118. Panda is the ultimate masterpiece created by me, Yaga Masamichi,
Copy !req
119. the leading expert on puppet cursed techniques.
Copy !req
120. He's a cursed corpse born with emotions.
Copy !req
121. A cursed corpse mutation!
Copy !req
122. Panda... is not a panda!
Copy !req
123. I can't keep up with his movements!
Copy !req
124. I guess if there was another like me, I would've at least heard rumors.
Copy !req
125. The fact that I haven't means you're not a cursed corpse.
Copy !req
126. You're a sorcerer who's remote-controlling this thing from somewhere else.
Copy !req
127. Still, that's no reason to snap over being treated like a cursed corpse.
Copy !req
128. You don't like being similar to me?
Copy !req
129. That hurts.
Copy !req
130. I might actually start crying!
Copy !req
131. Judging from your cursed energy output, your main body shouldn't be that far away.
Copy !req
132. I bet you're just outside the arena.
Copy !req
133. Guess there's no point in hunting you down, then.
Copy !req
134. You'd just be free to act in the meantime.
Copy !req
135. So I guess I'll just bust you up right here.
Copy !req
136. You won't be doing either.
Copy !req
137. Heavenly pact.
Copy !req
138. Have you heard of it?
Copy !req
139. It's not a pact you forge according to your own will.
Copy !req
140. It's something that's forced upon your body since birth.
Copy !req
141. I was born without a right arm or anything below my knees,
Copy !req
142. and I had no sensation from the waist down.
Copy !req
143. My skin is so fragile that even moonlight burns it.
Copy !req
144. Every pore of my body feels like it's constantly being poked with needles.
Copy !req
145. But in exchange, I can use my technique over
wide ranges, and produce immense cursed energy.
Copy !req
146. I didn't ask for this power.
Copy !req
147. If I could trade this technique
for a normal body, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Copy !req
148. The fact that a doll like you,
instead of a human like me,
Copy !req
149. gets to walk around in
broad daylight without a care,
Copy !req
150. really pisses me off!
Copy !req
151. Ultimate Mechamaru.
Copy !req
152. Albatross!
Copy !req
153. That's an incredible amount of cursed energy!
Copy !req
154. And at this angle,
Copy !req
155. Nobara is in his line of fire!
Copy !req
156. I have to take it head-on!
Copy !req
157. Ultimate Cannon!
Copy !req
158. It's dead?
Copy !req
159. No, the very concept of death doesn't apply to you.
Copy !req
160. Revealing your technique
while moaning about your sob stories,
Copy !req
161. was quite the sorcerer thing to do.
Copy !req
162. He took on my Ultimate Cannon and survived?
Copy !req
163. Okay, now I'm kinda pissed.
Copy !req
164. What is that form?
Copy !req
165. Panda... is not a panda!
Copy !req
166. Panda.
Copy !req
167. You have an older brother and sister.
Copy !req
168. No, I do not.
Copy !req
169. Yes, you do.
Copy !req
170. They're inside you.
Copy !req
171. Why the formal tone?
Copy !req
172. Inside me?
Copy !req
173. Yeah.
Copy !req
174. You'll get to know them both someday.
Copy !req
175. Those two will always,
Copy !req
176. always lend you their power.
Copy !req
177. Sword Option: Ultra Shield!
Copy !req
178. Normally, a cursed corpse
has a single core for its heart.
Copy !req
179. However, there are three cores inside me.
Copy !req
180. By switching them as my main core,
I can transform my body.
Copy !req
181. There's the balanced type, Panda core.
Copy !req
182. My brother is the power type,
suited for short and decisive battles, Gorilla Core.
Copy !req
183. As for my bashful sister,
Copy !req
184. His first attack got my sister's core,
Copy !req
185. and that last one exhausted the Panda core.
Copy !req
186. I have no choice left but to beat him with Gorilla Mode!
Copy !req
187. He may not pack as much power as Todo,
Copy !req
188. but that strike just now resonated with my internals.
Copy !req
189. I took damage even while guarding against it.
Copy !req
190. You realized it?
Copy !req
191. This is Gorilla Mode's special move,
Copy !req
192. The Unstoppable Drumming Beat!
Copy !req
193. If I take that Drumming Beat to my head or chest,
Copy !req
194. I won't be able to move Mechamaru anymore.
Copy !req
195. My right arm, Sword Option, is no longer functioning.
Copy !req
196. I can't fire Ultimate Cannon anymore either.
Copy !req
197. Gorilla Mode goes wild with the cursed energy.
Copy !req
198. No pun intended.
Copy !req
199. I need to hurry.
Copy !req
200. I crushed his right arm.
Copy !req
201. He can't fire off his ultimate attack anymore.
Copy !req
202. No swords in his left arm or mouth.
Copy !req
203. Only ranged blasts left?
Copy !req
204. Either way, he'll be cautious while attacking.
Copy !req
205. Mechamaru believes he failed
to finish me with those two blasts,
Copy !req
206. but he actually put two of my cores close to death.
Copy !req
207. This time he'll either try to blast my core at point-blank range or finish me with a slash.
Copy !req
208. However...
Copy !req
209. I have the advantage at close range!
Copy !req
210. A tile?
Copy !req
211. Did he pick it off the roof just now?
Copy !req
212. A distraction, then jet acceleration!
Copy !req
213. He's got skills!
Copy !req
214. This time, I won't miss!
Copy !req
215. The core is where cursed energy is densest!
Copy !req
216. Right here!
Copy !req
217. You did well, for a puppet.
Copy !req
218. Don't put me on the same level as other cursed corpses.
Copy !req
219. I can fake my core's position with energy manipulation.
Copy !req
220. I'm already concealing the number of cores, anyway.
Copy !req
221. You lost because you underestimated puppets.
Copy !req
222. I've never had a single thing in common with the people around me from the moment I was born.
Copy !req
223. I thought we could relate to each other in that sense.
Copy !req
224. Though I've never once been jealous of humans.
Copy !req
225. What?
Copy !req
226. I mean, humans are creepy, you know?
Copy !req
227. They'll risk their lives and fight hard toward their goals,
Copy !req
228. then they'll be laid-back or wishy-washy. I just don't get it.
Copy !req
229. Still, I do love those aspects that I don't have,
Copy !req
230. creepy as they are.
Copy !req
231. I bet you've been through a lot too.
Copy !req
232. But going through more hardships doesn't make you right.
Copy !req
233. And it's not like we're enemies in the first place.
Copy !req
234. Why did you become a sorcerer anyway?
Copy !req
235. Because that's the only thing you could do?
Copy !req
236. I mean, not that it really matters.
Copy !req
237. But if you have a wish you want fulfilled,
Copy !req
238. I'll help you out.
Copy !req
239. Mechamaru.
Copy !req
240. Don't be reckless with powerful moves.
Copy !req
241. You never know how many enemies you could be facing next.
Copy !req
242. Listen up, Mechamaru.
Copy !req
243. If you can't instantly state your type,
you'll never become an elite sorcerer.
Copy !req
244. Mechamaru, this is just obligatory,
but I got you these instead of chocolates.
Copy !req
245. I heard you liked AA Evoltas.
Copy !req
246. What exactly do you think I am?
Copy !req
247. Huh?
Copy !req
248. But Mai said—
Copy !req
249. One day...
Copy !req
250. together with everyone...
Copy !req
251. Hm? Come again?
Copy !req
252. I doubt you'll still want to help me
after seeing what I look like.
Copy !req
253. You think I'm gonna fuss over someone's looks?
Copy !req
254. I'm a panda, dude.
Copy !req
255. Later.
Copy !req
256. Let me pay you a visit sometime.
Copy !req
257. Shut up, you damn puppet.
Copy !req
258. I almost forgot!
Copy !req
259. Lend me your phone.
Copy !req
260. No way!
Copy !req
261. This girl...
Copy !req
262. She's crazy strong!
Copy !req
263. Mechamaru, let Noritoshi know
Utahime-sensei is calling for him.
Copy !req
264. Mechamaru, please give this to Todo-kun.
Copy !req
265. Mechamaru! Perfect timing.
Copy !req
266. This is for Todo-senpai and Kamo-senpai.
Copy !req
267. Hold up, you three.
Copy !req
268. Why does this always have to go through me?
Copy !req
269. Grk!
Copy !req
270. Don't distract me right now.
Copy !req
271. Takada-chan is live-streaming.
Copy !req
272. Ibaragi?
Copy !req
273. It's Ibaraki.
Copy !req
274. You don't even know that?
Copy !req
275. Because they're a pain to deal with, obviously.
Copy !req
276. I'm honestly kinda scared of them...
Copy !req
277. But if I said that,
Copy !req
278. I won't be able to ask for his help anymore.
Copy !req
279. Mechamaru!
Copy !req
280. We're counting on you!
Copy !req
281. Time for our missions!
Copy !req
282. Wait...
Copy !req
283. I don't get it.
Copy !req
284. Well, I guess it's good that they can rely on me.
Copy !req
285. Once again I woke up with warm tears in my eyes
Copy !req
286. Where are all those dreams I longed for?
Copy !req
287. Where are you?
Copy !req
288. I'm all alone
Copy !req
289. Give it back
Copy !req
290. Tell me when will it get easier?
Copy !req
291. I will wait here
Copy !req
292. I'll keep enduring
Copy !req
293. all the waves
Copy !req
294. that come and go
Copy !req
295. I'm not alone
Copy !req
296. That's what I want to believe
Copy !req
297. Take my hand so we don't get separated
Copy !req
298. Tomorrow, let's move forward on the path we've chosen for ourselves
Copy !req
299. Once again I woke up with warm tears in my eyes
Copy !req
300. Where are all those dreams I longed for?
Copy !req
301. Where are you?
Copy !req
302. I'm all alone
Copy !req
303. Please
Copy !req
304. Give it back
Copy !req
305. Tell me when will it get easier?
Copy !req
306. I will wait here
Copy !req
307. I'll keep enduring
Copy !req
308. all the waves
Copy !req
309. that come and go
Copy !req
310. I'm not alone
Copy !req
311. That's what I want to believe
Copy !req
312. Take my hand so we don't get separated
Copy !req
313. Tomorrow, let's move forward on the path we've chosen for ourselves
Copy !req
