Death Pie Chapter 6

Not too terribly long between chapters this time. Thanks as always go to our friends at HappyScans! for helping translate another great chapter. In this chapter, Tobioka works his way up the tournament ladder to face the menacing God Facer at the summit!

So it would appear that there is an organized Yakuza tournament taking place on this island, much like the life-and-death gambles that have been taking place throughout the whole series. 4 people go into the match, one comes out alive. Did I ever mention that this series needs more attention? Because it does. I just wish it was longer. But yeah, God Facer discusses how believing unwaveringly that you will win makes winning happen naturally, because it's really that easy. But in the Death Pie universe, apparently it is. A new character is introduced, Jakku Juuyou, who will apparently be facing God Facer with Tobioka in the final round. Well, probably not WITH him, but against him. Juuyou and Tobioka take out their guide, and then go off to find out if the rumors are true that Opium is being produced on the island. The rumors are in fact true, so perhaps this is what Tobioka infiltrated the Yakuza meeting groups in order to stop? I imagine there's more to it, but he did seem to have prior knowledge about it.

I think one of the most awesome things in this chapter is how Juuyou stopped his opponent's Tsubame Gaeshi; it's usually an all-or-nothing technique that can only be stopped by someone grabbing your hand or the tiles in the middle of the trick to prove that you were cheating. Once the trick has been carried out, the match is usually over then and there. But that's too cheap for Juuyou, so he does something of a reverse Tsubame Gaeshi, changing out his 13 tiles with the tiles on the bottom row of his opponent's wall, making his Tsubame useless. Which is absolutely badass. So yeah, looking forward to the God Facer battle, it's looking to be a showdown of epic proportions.
