A typical Tenjou Tenge chapter with flashbacks and random stuff.
My pathetic attempt at a summary:
Back in the times of feudal Japan, Ichiyo Nagi and his companion Crab Girl beat down some freakish bandits. Ichiyo is trying absorb all the other supernatural powers with his Dragon Fist, but the more powers he absorbs the closer he is to losing control and becoming Susanoo. Jumping to the presents, Souichirou is continuing his ancestor's work and absorbs the power of some street thug.
Meanwhile, Masataka, representing the Juuken Club, is fighting with a bunch of Tekken cosplayers (no, I'm not kidding) as warm-up for the upcoming tournament. Back at the Juuken clubhouse, Maya (in child form) and Aya are hanging out together. Maya states that Souichirou will probably return after absorbing many supernatural powers and would have trouble controlling himself, and therefore she plans to use her Amateratsu Dragon Gate to alleviate his pain. Maya adds that she has received help from many people over the years, and it's time that she helped someone else. Aya comments that Maya had grown up and also surprisingly states that she wants to quit the club. In response, Maya starts biting on Aya's head.
At this time, Bob returns to the clubhouse after completing a 20km run. Maya and Aya tell Bob to take a break, but Bob states that he cannot rest or he'll be left behind by Souichirou. Bob adds that since Souichirou is his old buddy, he can't just let Maya and the other club members do all the work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looks like Tenjou Tenge has completely moved beyond the fight on top of the Takanyagi buildings. Maybe Sohaku really died when everyone stabbed imaginary Reiki through him within Souchirou's mindscape. It doesn't look like we'll get any more answers about what really happened at the end of that battle, so there is no point dwelling on it.
The story seems to be focused on the upcoming school tournament to determine which club runs the school. Souichirou is slated to return, and chances are it's going to be Souichirou vs. Masataka in the final fight. I'm not sure what will happen with everyone else, especially Aya who said she was quitting Juuken Club. It's way too late to hope for a coherent story at this point, but hopefully we'll at least get a few decent fights. Also, I'm hoping the story won't drag on for too long now, since one of the main reasons why I'm still reading this manga is because I'm under the impression that the story is almost over.
