Koga was great when the story felt a bit more like early Kenichi and he was bouncing from one crazy teacher to the next all while having appropriate "exam" fights to demonstrate how much he'd learned from the previous session.

New chapter is up and it still delivers. as a practictioner of BJJ I agree with Liu's assessment, you don't get out of a rear naked choke on the mat

Koga’s going to use the Advance to get out of the choke and I’m going to be very upset when it happens

Can I just say how much I like the fact the dude who's got Koga on the ropes is not any sort of genetic freak or user of esoteric bullshit special martial art, but "just" top-class heavy-weight (or medium-heavy?) BJJ specialist? And that his winning It's going to be sad when Koga busts out something from Niko style and gets out of this.

Gensai is an impregnable fortress, saw paing has so much durability he can tank as much as he deals out, Seki has mastered attacking while defending. Even Akoya is a formidable fighter because his reflexes and shield stance allow him to counter and subdue opponents with brutal efficiency.

I mean we all anticipated this, because, wishful thinking aside, the point of this whole tournament is to serve as a proper stage for Koga vs. Ryuki, there is no way either of them loses before their duel. Still that was some bullshit.

I'm ashamed I forgot both because Julius arguably has the highest physical defense of the entire cast to the point the only people that are a threat to him are people with a comparable build or Wakatsuki with his blast core. Waka himself has only been defeated by Niko-style bullshit and Aiki magic. Plus whatever ankle break Agito used on him. Warden posted:Chapter 177. I'll give Koga this, This is bullshit but not utter bullshit. Really strong grip has been used before to break holds so I'm not as upset about this as I was braced for.

Yeah, to give credit where credit is due, it's still 100 times better than Koga using Advance, Demonsbane or that one Ultimate Water Kata technique.

Well on one hand Koga vs Ryuki can be super boring. But even if they won't fight in the end it wouldn't hit the same as in Asura. Tbh I'd rather watch them fight since their relationship is a lot more engaging and realised than Ohma and Setsunas so I have some faith. Just no more stupid worm bullshit please, I'd like to see the emotional resolution without distractions

I don't understand the importance of ryuki and koga fighting each other, they already respect one another. Just to make it clear the ppl who commit to other styles are a bunch of idiots?

The idea of this moveis fine, but it really should be something only Rihito could pull off. It's stupid if basically anybody can just learn the Niko style and get to crush bones.

I don't know if "just anyone" can. We just recently had an example of someone using one part of the Niko style poorly, so I don't think literally anyone who learns Ironbreaker can suddenly snap bones in their hands. Ohma even comments that that's a really weird way to use that technique. The thing they seem to be going with for Koga is that he's basically Martial Arts Megaman and can pick up and intuitively understand how to use various techniques in novel ways as long as he has someone to teach him how they work beforehand, rather than him being devoted to a specific school of martial arts like most of the other characters.

This reminds me that fighters were making GBS threads all over Yumi for being a collector who went and took the best bits of a lot of styles.

Given how he handled working under Metsuda it's obvious he would then cut and run after getting what he wanted.

"Monke sucks and I bet he stole those moves somehow." I'm not sure he's even been on page since he lost his match so we may never know if it's actually true.

While it was kinda bullshit, I do like the idea of non-conventional use of powers/techniques. Reminds me a bit of Spider Man's Kaine (sp?).
