...didn't Hatsumi get hit by the Dragon Shot, keep fighting, and then get hit by another Dragon Shot?

He got hit but the best he could do was cling to Agito, bleeding from his face, and while Agito allowed him to regain his composure he used the fangs hips to try and do something before eating the 2nd dragon shot.

The difference for me though, is that Sen didn't eat an unguarded knee to the face after he got Dragon Shotted. I think the head trauma in the most recent fight is my biggest complaint because both Agito and Jurota shrug off blows that would have ended a fight in Asura.

Yes. He apparently managed to subconsciously divert some of the force from blow, but he was still hosed up and left clutching at Kanoh while coughing up blood.

No idea how Hatsumi tanked two dragon shots even if he did divert some of the damage. Just look at the difference in size and frame: Hatsumi is 5'10 and 80 kg, and Agito is 6'7 and 128 kg. Jurota is also 6'7 and even heavier than Agito at 134 kg, so it's slightly more plausible he could tank it. The man is beefy.

but this is the realm of magic hair & muscles so just roll with it

Jurota didn't take the flying knee though? That was where the agito hosed up

No, he took it. And that should have finished the job, but it didn't.

I think it's a combination of Jurota being very beefy and tough and Agito, unlike the Sen fight where he took like no damage, being really hurt at that point.

One of the latest volumes does have a bonus page where they show exactly that. Metsudo’s bodyguards basically zip him up in it head to toe, presumably they see his dick and balls

Having just reread the jurota fight I think he fact he's taller/heavier than agito is why he was tanking stuff that torr through Sen as an explanation

Because the nose is made of cartilage, it can be trained to absorb any impact, like a spring

In this way, he prevented any damage from his head by using the cartilage in his nose to absorb the impact

This is basic anatomy...

Jurota also tanked a kick to the face followed by a flying knee to face, followed by a punch to face, when he fought Meguro. And Meguro is only slightly smaller than Jurota or Kanoh.

Dude's face can take a hit.

This is a proper dumb kengan fight. Nothing arcane or super out there, two guys that we know about already and know the themes of their fighting style, and it works.

It's pretty similar to what Gaolong did in his fight with Agito to force him into a boxing matchup.

Agreed, the resolution was pretty meh. It was basically just Hatsumi saying "no" to Kaneda's overwhelming advantage and the story going "ok, you win then."

There have been updates but Comikey decided to make it so you have to pay to read every chapter after 1.5 with no free periods like Kengan so there probably won't be much discussion.
