Nilbop posted:The only thing I missed so far is the intense superposition of sexual-nationalism Morikawa is layering on top of this fight. So... none of what you predicted was correct, beyond the fact it's gone like 5 chapters?

Is Keith not a dude relying on being blessed by the Goddess of Luck and is Takamura not just punching his face in because of his mighty Yamato spirit?

No, Takamura's beating his face in because... he's finally in the weight class where he isn't destroying himself, and Keith isn't dominating at all and hasn't exactly been rattling on about the goddess of luck.

It's not like this thread is gunshy about pointing out when Morikawa is being weird as gently caress about nationalism. This fight ain't it.

The luck thing will definitely come into play, we've just got a hint of it with him being saved by the bell (even though that happens in every fight)

Flesnolk posted:That's because Takamura is boring i will disagree vehemently with this. its because his opponent has no real personality and the build up to this fight felt more like a formality. takamura vs hawk, eagle and bison are three of the best fights in the series with the first one probably being the best overall

Sooooo....what's the catch gonna be here? So far this is has been little more than a glorified Takamura vs jobber fight. I'm getting more and more Ippo vs Guevara vibes from this, as weird as that sounds.

If there's a twist I think the #1 candidate is the return of the retina issue via a lucky punch.

Whoops, looks like I dropped my good luck Magnum CondomTM... Hopefully we're building up to something substantial, I guess all the fights get like this but it feels like the chapters have been on the light side and there's a break every other week

Any bets on Takamura reacting late to left swings being because of his retina issue?

tbp posted:yes, purposefully so I'm not even talking about the wide swings that he can't see, I'm saying it's almost a beat for beat recreation of that fight. It even started with everyone holding their breath as Takamura and the opponent had a very intense exchange just like the one with Bison did. But I actually will laugh if this is where Morikawa finally pays off the detached retina subplot.

Keith got pranked by aokimura somehow and that was such an unlucky event it’s propelled his career this far, Takamura is actually at risk here you see; because Keith is actually a gag character.

If nothing unexpected happens here, i'm not really sure what the point of this fight is. Why at this point waste half a year of real time on yet another Takamura chump match? What does it possibly serve the manga this far in?
