Prediction!
Okuu and Tenshi have absolutely no idea how to fight, have not trained are about to get utterly curb stomped.

No training, no knowledge of how to fight, but I'm betting they're *very* durable.

Well, Tenshi would at least know some sword style, regardless of how proficient in it she was. Both would be adept in "blast opponent with massive barrage."

But unarmed HTH? Yeah, looks like they'll mainly have durability (and in Okuu's case, maneuverability) to fall back on.

Hm. 3rd panel before translation, is Okuu fake-crying? Or doing something that confuses Shou?

I want to believe that when Shou covers Okuu's eyes with the headbutt and everything goes dark, she thinks it's nighttime and thus time for sleep. ...and thus immediately fell asleep. You know, like a parakeet in a cage.

Oh god I can only hope that's the case. Would be way too funny.

Once Byakuren steps in it's all over

Well I hope not, I was hoping for Tenshi to show off here.
A bit to early to say who is going to win and who is not, but it at least seems like one team is clearly stronger.

Okuu is clearly enjoying the moment there...

Honestly my money's on Utsuho and Tenshi, I at least suspect they're not going to go down easily. I just hope, I really HOPE that we manage to get a fight that isn't interrupted by 50 frames of soul-searching drama and/or everyone recovering from their KO's 20 times.

The last fight was so damn terrible because of that.

shou attacks the head - it is not very effective!
but i'm really interested in how byaku will fight
she can crush peanuts with her eyelids after all.. XD

After reading, looking at the characters, and then warping it in my head, I'm now hearing "OH GOD! THAT SMELL!" and such whimperings from Okuu.

That's right, cover a birds eyes and fall asleep.

I never really got the whole bird brained thing with Okuu. crows and ravens are very smart birds. I guess its a case of did not do the research at its finest.
