Warning: Not safe for work.
Masataka, you lucky bastard!
My pathetic attempt at a summary:
The day after the big battle, Masataka, Maya, Aya, and most of the Juuken Club crew wake up back in their clubhouse. Meanwhile, Bunshichi is rushed to the ER while still smoking a cigarette. Elsewhere in the hospital, a bandaged-up Mitsuomi sits in bed while a doctor is flabbergasted that Mitsuomi's heart condition has disappeared. Mitsuomi explains that his brother has knocked the evil energy out of his heart and asks to be released from hospital. Emi and the rest of Executive Council officers are standing near the door to Mitsuomi's room, and Mitusomi tells them to follow their own paths.
At another corer of the hospital Madoka is feeling sick, and some of the nurses are barfing all over the place because a bunch of dead people including the Kabane siblings and Mitsuiro have come back to life. Mrs. Hotaru realizes that someone is using the Fire Dragon's Gate to revive these dead people, and there is only one person left in the world who has this ability...
How I wish this was a real fight between Souichirou and Masataka...
Behind the Juuken Club clubhouse, Masataka confronts the long-haired Souichirou. Souichirou explains that he has used Sohaku's power (which he absorbed) to revive all the people who were killed in the big battle, but the spell will only last as long as Souichirou himself is still alive. Souichirou asks if Masataka wants to fight him even knowing that it would mean the permanent death of the others. Masataka answers that he is not fighting to kill Souichirou, but Souichirou thinks that Masataka is not ready, so he arranges for the two of them to fight the next time the cherry trees bloom. Souichirou then dashes off, and Masataka practices his moves by stabbing his toothbrush into a nearby cherry tree.

Uh... *Looks back at chapter 129*... uh... I'm at a loss for words. What in the universe happened here?! I was expecting two big battles: Masataka vs. Souichirou in the real world, and Souichirou and co. vs. Sohaku in the imaginary world. But now suddenly the battles are over and the good guys won?! WTF?! I feel robbed. Did I miss a couple of chapters in between? Seems like a large chunk of the story is missing here...
Usually series tend to do a time skip after the climatic battle, but it looks like Tenjou Tenge went one step further that and chose to time-skip over the climatic battle entirely. I'm not sure what the point of this was, other than to make the series even more hopelessly confusing. If you are not confused after chapter 129, you should be after reading this chapter. I think Oh! great might have given up and decided to end this series with as little effort as possible. Well, at least you can say that he did in style. That was some epic trollage.
Anyways, this is not the last chapter, so perhaps there will be a final Masataka vs. Souichirou fight, but at this point does it matter anymore? I've followed this series this far, so it's too late for me to stop reading.
