Don't know how to feel about this. Glad our boy won, but feels like he shouldn't have. Training or not, he's new to violence in general, old guy was a professional (I'm going to assume his skills have deteriorated from the injury and beating up unskilled hoodlums). Just feels like our boy should've lost here, and come back stronger later, or faced the old guy much later.

I don't remember the stakes for these fights, i.e. if it's a knockout tournament.

It feels weird that the guy tried to end it with a punch when he knew his opponent was actively going for triangular chokes. The art and action are great but it feels like sometimes the characters get off a bit too easily.

The old man underestimated the boy. Yeah, just like you. So he lost.

That's my boy

That kick panel goes hard

I get the old hardheaded guy losing to the new kid who's creative and is willing to take risks and all that.
But a spinning roundhouse kick is not something you pull out of your ass.
Some chapters ago it was established that our guy is good at copying other's moves, so It made sense he copied the old man's block, but the spinning roundhouse came out of nowhere.
Tibetan monk / Heian era level asspull.

Peak writing

I'd recommend checking out Fight Class 3, Red Blue and Holyland if you haven't read them already. Also good fighting manga.

 

[Marborday]

Fun chapter, roundhouse was an ass pull, winning with the Triangle after baiting out that counterattack was fantastic

 

[DeOneChester]

Why didn't he just kick him when he was on the ground?

[rabidfish]

i agree this isn't the most realistic battle manga, but it is pretty funny and not that serious so i let it slide

It feels weird that the guy tried to end it with a punch when he knew his opponent was actively going for triangular chokes. The art and action are great but it feels like sometimes the characters get off a bit too easily.

It's a 3-move sequence of a former pro getting hotheaded and underestimating a young amateur, happening all in the span of a few seconds.

He gets the correct read that he's got him beat in strength and technique, plus Akita is already nearly spent from the blows he's taken, so his only winning move is a hold. So far so good.

Akita closes the distance surprises him by improv. deflecting the straight to the face, but Full Contact Ojiisan still reflexively gets a knee blow in, with the reasonable immediate assessment that it's a match decider given how Akita nearly passed from the first one, but this time the lad grits his teeth and pulls through with a surprise roundhouse. Ojiisan himself is like "that was my mistake" about opening himself up for that one.

And while Akita managed to get him good, he still didn't get to knock him out, so still with a hot head, and now with real desperation thinking he could actually lose this thing if he lets Akita catch his breath and get back up, he goes for a finishing blow straight because despite knowing kicking techniques Ojiisan heavily favors his punches to the point they cost him a world championship, seriously this is like his defining character trait and the trap is sprung.

lol, isn't that kick minoru kohinata's signature move from Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru?

 

[Quroh_JG]

I've gotta say, this fight was better than I expected

 

[NeverAnother]

Karate Prince KOHINATA MINORU?!?!

I would recommend this a lot more if it didn’t that arc with the yakuza and actual trafficked woman laugh at MC for not being okay with grape
