Before translation: I'm sure there's going to be some trumped up lesson on being too genre savvy by the end of this match. I'm far more disappointed than the last time this happened, mostly because this has happened so many times at this point that its lost all it's appeal. If it continues on as it is, I'll only be able to follow halfheartedly.
I assume this is the same reason that no one has bothered translating?

Looks like it. That, and all the whining in the comments are a big turn-off.
Look on the bright side: whatever happens, it is absolutely impossible for it to be worse than what just happened at Wrestlemania tonight.
Also, is it just me or are Kaguya and Mokou going for a heel-end in the process of trying to win? (artist's handwriting is truly too difficult for me to read well, so it's sort of fragmented)
I am trying to figure out how kaguya and moko got... well that strong (physically).

When team Lost servants came out of their match without losing after that 10 page choke lock that was it for me.
So, as a person who likes both teams (although i admit i am rooting for mokoua little bit more and for Kaguya a little bit less, so in the end itevens out, i guess) i have to ask: what's so bad in this match so everyone's whining? If it was complete stomp from the beginning and if Judgement could carry out that humiliating finisher, would it be better? Sure, they would become Big Bad Evil Team, kick around opponent or two and then lose in the finals to designated winner (and there was much rejoicing.) Alternatively, Friendly Fire team's win through POWER OF FRIENDSHIP (HUGS AND PUPPIES) would have been equally half-assed. Instead we get an interesting match, in which the weaker team wins through clever strategy and exploitation of their opponent's fatal flaw. There's also a subtext that in the end Friendly Fire BECAME the team worthy of defeating Higan Judgement.
and taken out of context, first panel looks kind of naughty

A few things. For one, I don't think I'm alone in the feeling that we haven't had a good heel win, yet. And no proper squash match either, if memory serves. Unless Kaguya and Mokou do an amazing heelward turn here (which would be sort of acceptable), it's just a lacklustre and boring way of carrying on. Personally, I feel like this team, even working together, shouldn't carry on; the judge's lesson would be better if they lost. Add to it that they're clearly outclassed by the actions in the beginning and I think the consternation is understandable.
If we want real heel, I think we should have other character than touhou for it. Like original characters, from puro, wrestling and lucha libre to play it.
Why not have wrestler like La Sombra, Chris Benoit, Jericho, The Miz, Samoa Joe... Well, wrestler created from this man and else, you know, I don't want to hear wrestling preferences but man, how awesome would it be to see a touhou pairing be beating up by a imaginery team inspired (for example) of Miz and Claudio Castagnoli, of Mistico and Great Sasuke, of Cena and Davey Richards.
This will stop showing them as invincible or ultra powerful, this will be cool to see REAL heel (Like a wrestler who really hurt people, a real vilain) versus tweener (yuuka, etc) and face.
Personally, my disappointment for this was the sudden "Eiki's a method actor" and then her superior technical game fell to shit. Then Komachi, the freshest fighter out of the four, god schoolyard owned by those two in the span of two panels after her Big Damn Hero moment. And now the out of nowhere super Chojin teamwork and uncharacteristic strength boost they both got to handle an artifact like the Rod of Remorse like it weights nothing added to the fact the way Kagyua landed shouldn't do a damn thing.
^ I'm with you on that. I hate to complain, but I'm not a Mokou fan, and it did strike me as odd how easy Komachi went down. But looking at what happened to Yuyuko, or Patchu and Alice, I guess it makes sense. It's an athletic contest, because of the barrier, and sleepy Komachi doesn't seem like the most athletic of characters. Plus, Mokou trains hard, and Kaguya is well versed in psych warfare and the moves of the series, so I can see how they could win this matchup.
That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing the heavenly sky combo peach butt smack them both to the nether~ a fitting place for immortals, hehe.
As a recent reader... I guess it's time to move on. This match's end reeks of cliche so bad.
And agree with DschingisKhan, the lesson for script writer would've been better if they lost.
And wtf? I thought at first Shikieiki was actually gonna deliver punishment by throwing them around like ragdolls, but they revealed her to be a Kinnikuman otaku or something? Wtf man...
