Mind games and deception. Heh, cheap escape but for a person who doesn't care about rules in a fight, an escape is an escape.

There is still the massive hurdle of trying to beat the MMA champ. I guess Rikudou will try to provoke/taunt him to make lose his focus? Her outlasting the timer is a win for her in my eyes.

This is just dumb lol. Might as well just bring a gun or knife into a fistfight at this point. Like, of course you can beat a Pro if you deploy all manner of dirty tactics. What next, threaten someone to lose or you kill their family?
Buddy I think that's the point, she's not fighting to prove a point she's fighting just to fight, who cares how she wins?

Of course there's a pile of nerds in the comments who are faced with their eternal manga enemy: actually fucking reading the manga.

Her initial point is that all of this is "sports", his argument is that his weight class is the biggest so he's "serious".

All of this is just a belated way of making a point: he's still playing a sport because it's a ritual, there's rules he has to follow. She can bite his balls off or pull a knife and stab him in the kidney. She's not trying to show him she can win in an MMA match, she's showing that none of this is a real fight.
Maybe you learn to read, she is not trying to show him shit, she is just a fight-hunger lunatic. But is also ready to close lines except weapons for some fucking reason. Like, using blackmail will sure show him lol.

The viewers lol. The fight is already entering the realms of fantasy with the blows she has been taking. I expect viewership to continue to drop before the author tries to explain the manner of abuse she faced in her childhood that makes her able to take hit for an heavy weight.

Yeah, my very real sources tell me that the manga is STRUGGLING right now, people are too put off by this woman not being pulverized into mush like viewers expect and want, why read it if it's not showing me reality, and by reality I mean a woman losing and being relegated to the sideliness.

It's like Author forgot this is a manga about Fuwa.

And you base that on what? Pretty sure this has always been a fantasy, since when did action manga have to adhere to reality? Does seeing a woman beat up a dude bigger than her trigger you that much?

I doubt anyone on the thread thought the series was realistic. The puzzling part is what the author is going for.

Girl isn't even beating him up, let alone winning... yet ;)

She has so far just survived and rattled the guy with her personality and views, truly a bridge too far for Da Viewers around the world.

The author is going for cool fights and establishing the FemMC's mentality more clearly and showing that her goal is not 'being the strongest', it's a lot more personal and 'whimsical' than that. She just wants to fight and preferably win in and of itself, like a more brutal Goku.

He's also going for a sexy chick having brutal fights because that's clearly what the readers have latched onto since the male MC wasn't really compelling and she was clearly the selling point from the start.

That's what he's making. The question is whether he thinks there's more to it, whether there is internal consistency to the world he's depicting, and whether FemMC is a character or just a plot contrivance. It's also entirely possible for the author to be flat delusional; in Eeichiro Oda's mind the Wano Arc and Hamlet are masterpieces of tragedy. My guess is this guy views his manga as a call to realize that the world isn't as predictable as people think.

What he actually states is that "only in heavyweight are fighters truly battling to be the strongest", which is an even stupider argument, and that is assuming this is a 1:1 translation that lost none of its original meaning.

Good try though, you'd probably be getting flipped by a high school girl at this point.
It's translated as 'martial arts' several times in chapter 9. Even when FemMC is quoting him to criticize the statement.

That's the thing, he only believe in raw brute strength and doesn't take into account wit and smart for a fight to prove strongest person. I mean he throw away social life and textbooks/ education, it's easy to see he's one track minded with 0 education or street smart.
If you're including smarts as a way to prove who is strongest, politicians of various sorts and rich dudes with armed guards are OP.

Lol, I have watch Black Lagoon and Rezy is absolutely destroys most people except that killer maid. The difference is that even without a backstory you could believe she was a monster and well trained. Nonsense we have been shown through out this fight and series show that this high schooler is good enough to take on the MMA guy.

Also, the plot of this series basically just fighting lol, with it trying to show real fighting techniques and shit. If you fuck that up, then what is the strength, besides crazy FMC that feel like a budget FMC for Kakegurui.

Such a waste of this artist's skill, really unlucky man... But anyway, now I'm even curious what kind of bullshit author will pull out to make her a winner
Tbh not even author’s fault they had a really good story planned but were forced to change it to something more generic.

Correction he fights with conventionality.

He sees fighting as a sport with honor but Rindou just wants to beat people up.

Its why he’s so admant against fighting her intially and why he’s so caught up on her not fighting “properly”
