Haha, is Karla wearing a Koyo academy uniform here? Seems like it.



Does she attend school there? Pretty cool, I see what you mean by all the little references.

In my headcanon she does, but it's not confirmed in any way.

Interesting. Would Ohma vs. Kiryu happen at the end of the manga, then? Going by your predictions, it would be pretty cool to see Julius get seriously injured in his fight against Ohma, then turn around and enter a match with Kiryu with a handicap.

Also, I think Lt. Lizard has a point, none of us seem to be taking Wakatsuki Takeshi too seriously, despite his excellent Kengan record and ridiculous strength:

Wakatsuki literally went all one-punch-man on that poor bastard. Maybe we'll eat our words when he ends up being a real contender. If Sarcophallus's predictions are correct, Wakatsuki Takeshi vs. Julius Reinhold could end up becoming one of the best matches yet. Two extremely hard-hitting characters duking it out. :yeah:

Wakatsuki Takeshi has the best Kengan match record for a reason, he's really strong.

:rip: Intelligent Barbarian. At least his legacy as a bestselling author of bodybuilding manuals lives on.

TBH the fights I'm most interested in seeing play out are the ones where the fighters have a similar body-type. Not necessarily the fighters I'm most interested in, mind. It's just.... Slim, fast dude vs. slow, bulky dude is a dichotomy you see so often in this type of series, I'd honestly appreciate the change of pace. Helps a lot that the artist has a knack for incredibly visceral brawls.

Pretty much everyone in the tournament is really meaty except for two people and other than Haruo there aren't even any comically huge guys left. Even Julius is just like one head taller than the rest of them.




I hope everyone's excited for what's coming up: After the next fight it's time for the bathing chapter. :henget:

That's someone else. You'll know him when you see him, IIRC he's still wearing prison stripes.

He's wearing normal clothes and is sitting with the other spectators now. He's the one who explained Haruo getting thinner last fight.

I'm torn on who I'm rooting for in this fight. Kaneda is being set up as such an underdog, but Gaolang is one of the few foreigners left and he's a pretty great straight man. I guess he'll stick around as long as Kaneda doesn't turn out to be a secret murderer or whatever.

Also, Jerry Tyson actually got to use his boxing expertise!

Jerry Tyson doesn't box!!!

Yeah it's my favorite fight of the series so far by far.

You got the old versus the new, the theme of conviction and belief in your style, conflicting views on tradition, etc. etc.

It's so good.

A vigilante isn't someone who kills criminals, a vigilante is someone who takes the law into his own hands without any sort of legal justification.

...of course being related to a criminal isn't a crime under the penal code of the state of Japan. But Akoya is killing as a vigilante and not as a state persecutor or a judge and he follows his own set of laws.

Also the only fighter to hold an actual grudge instead of a desire for a rematch is probably Sawada against Julius, given how Julius was complicit in the blackmail of his employer.

Sawada is just tsundere.
