This manga pretty much just starts off with the big fuckoff tournament and there's a surprising amount of not obvious jobbers. Even the jobbers don't look like total jobbers like in every other manga. also fang of mustard is a dead ringer for toffee from star vs the forces of evil. It's uncanny Macksy fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Mar 17, 2017 |

The Kure power-activation technique thing obviously has some sort of drawback to it that is likely going to be what causes him to lose since he's the dude who can release at 100%.

a superior physique doesn't guarantee victory. unless you count narrative weight, there aren't any power levels involved.

with there being like another 10 volumes already made i wonder where the story is going after this tournament

I hope Karla's the one to beat Raian, somehow. She'd sworn to kill Raian at the end of this chapter and it'd be fitting for her to be the one to destroy Raian and give vengeance / closure to her friend Elena. It should be possible for 85% release + sanity to be a superior combo to 100% release + nutso.

Our boy Toma (remember him?) is fighting him in the second round, and since it is exceptionally unlikely he'll lose, Raian won't leave uninjured. He might be the strongest member of the Kure clan at peak condition but if he's been through the wringer beforehand, Karla can just rip out his heart or something. Which she'll pretty keen to do if Raian tries to kill the future father of her children as well.Macksy posted:also fang of mustard is a dead ringer for toffee from star vs the forces of evil.

i'm curious about what Fang of Metsudo's gimmick will be. He actually doesn't have much of a "final boss" look to him.

I looked ahead through the next 4 or 5 fights in the raws, and there are a couple that actually weren't that predictable (to me at least). One I just wasn't sure from the beginning and the other I thought I knew who would win and was wrong. The others were fairly predictable but still badass.

# ? Mar 18, 2017 01:41 |

Yeah, there are some unexpected wins/losses. I'll say that no one in this thread has correctly predicted every fight.

Ah, I just came across the first genuinely surprising match result. I'm curious to read the translated text for some of these later fights. edit: Haha, Dudley rooting for Cosmo in his second match. Also he says "Yo! Fuckin' ZASHIKI WARASHI" edit2: Okay, make that 2 unexpected results, with the second one being *really* unexpected. edit3: Hahahaha Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Jedah posted:This is amazing. He looks too much like that crazy animal dude with the Gene Simmons tongue. edit - Just got to that fight and yeah I was hoping for something better than dude tanks damage and then goes all crazy face "powered up" mode. Hopefully the man is more than that when he fight someone who isn't an obvious jobber. Macksy fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Also girl who ships all the boys is the best. While others analyze fighting technique or auras or killing intents she focuses on the real important questions like who is top and who is bottom.

Skimmed ahead through the raws against my better judgement mostly to see if the doctor vs prisoner doctor fight would be cool because those were the two that seemed pretty fun and it certainly didn't disappoint. I finally managed to stop reading ahead and I look forward to the next few decades of waiting for the translation to catch up. Luckily the characters are just as entertaining as the fights so it should still be fun to read the translation.

Same. Jesus this gets brutal. I mean, the brutality is mostly extended to characters who are made out to be unrepentant psycho murderers but still.

I'm rereading the translated 'ga now and it's making me laugh how the businessman guy's character is he's super perceptive & in chapter 2 he's floored by the revelation that you have to kill things in order to eat them.

It is kind of a recurring point that his extreme perceptiveness is subconscious. He just kind of picks stuff on gut feeling and it ends up being exactly right without him knowing why it's right.

I realize this tournament will probably take another 60 weeks just to get through the first round, but I really want to see more of Yamashita being a doofy everyman. "Did I get the right size?"

"Did I get the right size?" I love Yamashita so much. I feel like the "has absolutely perfect instincts for this but doesn't realize it" angle should feel cliché, but somehow it never does. Maybe it's just that he's otherwise such an atypical character, or his complete spinelessness, but I'm never not rooting for him. I want him to wind up as head of the Kengan Association and still be as panicked by everything as before.
