Convict Colosseum - Ch. 78.5

If Convict Colosseum hasn't yet, it has most definitely reached Baki mode with El Cucaracho's backstory. It's so good. Truly peak.

I also just wanna take this time to say that I'm enjoying the art too. Roach has never looked smoother.

Now it's time to see what Pete has more to give. This fight is truly something else.

Pete backstory finally???
HELL YEAH

 

[dustbird]

I'll lose my mind if Pete doesn't even have as insane a backstory as EC and instead he's just what we've seen so far: a REALLY good kickboxer who doesn't use his hands.

Honestly I don't think (or want) an insane backstory, cause what makes Pete insane is that he's an absolute monster of a human who came from a very normal background (New Jersey).

Even then we can infer the journey that he took from stuff from the previous chapters:

• He choose to start kicking only to make things more challenging during his youth at a national, he still was able to win easily. Presumably he continued to win nationals later on until he became an adult or got bored & stop attending such tournaments.
• He stated in an earlier chapter (forgot exactly which) that the last time he was this excited was when he first entered MMA fighting. Presumably he breezed his way through the competition, found it lacking, and went onto the following.
• We saw him whooping the ass of an underground fighting champion, presumably he traversed the underground fighting scene of North America in search of a satisfying fight (probably using his winnings to fund his travels), found no worthy opponent.
• Then went on to live a normal life until he grew too much poppies & got arrested.

Edit: Also Tomahawk's mob boss sponsor stated literally at the end that he never wanted to fight Pete again, implying that he fought Pete at some point (presumably at some underground tournament) and got his shit rocked.

Don't forget that Pete's reaction time is half that of the previously established human record. Dude may not have an epic manga backstory, but he's still a monster all the same.

OH MY GOSH
That has to be the BIGGEST blue ball chapter ending on the entire planet! Bro, I love this story! I cannot WAIT for us to see just how far these insane bastards can go!

Yeah, me losing my mind in athat scenario is a positive one. I want this fella to be Pistol Foot Peak purely because he's just a normal guy who's just THAT good.

God this is so good. Thank you as always. Keep up the great work. Very excited for Pete backstory, I just know he’s going to be Him.
