Yajin Tensei: Karate Survivor in Another World - Vol. 10 Ch. 67 - Testing the New Equipment

[vedrit]

article? or maybe it is supposed to say it is a genuine fight or stance

"the genuine article" = "the real thing" = "no capping"
In other words, the brother knows what he's doing.

Why is everyone just thinking about Yajin fighting, isn't this armor the best for the way he lives? He usually avoids fighting humans and tries to take the advantage by climbing trees, wading through mud and crossing waters, like he just tested here. And if he ever needed to fight people, he can just put armor over it no?

 

[Eukene]

I'm so conditioned for bad things to happen that when Alphonse promised to personally deliver it that I was thinking, "Yeah, that thing is gone now." Yajin already got paid for it seemed. There are a lot stronger people than Alphonse in the city, so it could still get stolen even if Yajin isn't betrayed. Maybe Yajin will get drafted to recover it.

The suit is weird, but possibly the enchantment will help with impacts somehow.

Also, the hide is made out of this very weird thing:

https://mangadex.org/chapter/31e235a0-a308-43d8-a723-f0cb7e01f817/6

It says it's "as durable as steel on the outside", so it's possible it blocks blunt damage as well as steel plate, regardless of if that makes sense. They're also treating it with "alchemical agents," but don't say what properties they are adding to it. Hopefully to allow feces to pass through it as well urine or more seriously it could help compensate for the weaknesses in some way.

What benefit is there for making a fox armor? The hide is small, it's like you're suggesting he makes a fur coat instead of armor, which does not offer protection at all.

+10 Aura points
-50 Protection

fox armor makes it sound like a fursuit...

 

[x_renon_x]

but the foxhide here was said to have self-reparing properties, which I imagine would extend to the entire armor piece. So yeah, it would be worthwhile to have something that you don't need to maintain, provided it was made sensibly and used with proper padding, rather than a gimpsuit like shown here.

For the last time, the fox doesn't have regen ability it can only do illusions. The fox is just a high price aesthetic material to be displayed. The regen ability that they've been talking about is the enchancement they will put in the armor they're making him.
•Mirage Fox
- high price cosmetic item
- rarely seen/caught hence high price
- no passive ability as material

•Sirenia Hide (his current gimpsuit)
- rare item to find in market
- double layered skin
- durable as steel outside, flexible and tough inside
- allows moisture inside to pass through outside, not vice versa btw

So if Yaijn only risked going to get the corpse of the young Mirage Fox cause with it they could imbue self repair enhancement to his Sirenia Hide armor then was it a money thing or a material thing? Like he got paid for the fox so can he still add the enhancement? He mentions how hard to repaid special gear is so....

Yes, he need the money for making his armor and also enchanting it. The only issue left now is the place where he'll get the Mirage Fox be turned into a tippet. (refer to ch. 66)

Oh, I thought when Alphonse took him to the captain and then confirmed receipt that would be it and Yajin would no longer need tk worry about that part. Like it was handed off in totality.

I'd rather seem him go all frogger and then have to skip town again with the power struggle between the physicians guild, adventurers guild and the underground organization group and the suit somehow comes in handy cause he, once again, lures them out to the forest and kills them all off

Yeah, the hide does not self repair in it's natural form, but what does that matter, if it's a required material to make a self repairing item, which is said in a panel you yourself showed? Everything I said about the potential armor piece holds.

 

[Eukene]

The mirage fox content is ambiguous (confused even the translator), but...

""It's a material that presents all sorts of risks, but the rewards from it would be huge! With it, it would be possible to imbue your armour with an enchantment of self healing.""

Rewards doesn't necessarily mean financial rewards, but this makes it sound like "With it" means "With the material." As in, "With the material, it would be possible to imbue your armor."

However this is relying on grammar cues in a translation from a language with different grammar. If "it" can refer to "rewards" despite "rewards" being plural and rewards means financial rewards, we could interpret their whole conversation as being about selling it. Not knowing any Japanese myself, I still find it more likely they are using some fox component.

I believe various enchantments and alchemical enhancements are going to be included, not just self repair, so that could explain using the additional money on it.

fox armor makes it sound like a fursuit...

If we have to pick one, I'd rather see someone in a fur suit than a gimp suit.

As consolation, I assume he is going to be wearing this under his clothes.

Look, i'm only saying based on what I read that it doesn't have regen ability even in the back story the smith told the MC.

It's required for financial use so he can pay for his armor and its enchanment

but the foxhide here was said to have self-reparing properties

You said it so yourself, hence I said "nope it doesnt" still based on what I read.

In the previous chapters, there's a backstory about the Mirage Fox being a tippet of a lord and a symbol of their wealth, and it was used as collateral. None in the blacksmith's story about it having echanment powers. I'm not implying it doesn't have a power, but a regen ability isn't one of them. It's called a Mirage Fox because it has illusion and Camouflage/Invisibility, not regen or healing, otherwise it wouldn't be called that.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[Eukene]

I think the only thing we can say with certainty is that the fox hide itself does not have armor regen, because they got rid of it and are still doing the enchantment.

An ingredient doesn't have to have the end product's properties. For example, neither iron ore, coke, nor limestone have the properties of steel armor, but can be used to produce it. They could be using a different part of the fox.

Your money raising interpretation is still valid and complete, especially if Yajin is getting a good deal due to being friends with the producers. Despite that, you have not disproved the possibility that they will use a fox component.

 

[ShikenAegis]

The reading comprehension ability of most the people in this thread is startlingly low lol...

But also
"Cor Blimey!!"
Was really out of nowhere lol

Because the fox hide will be given to the noble who wants it, as a tippet. They will turn that material as a tippet like thing.

idk where you guys are getting the idea that it's needed for the armor when the armor itself is in prototype stage now.

Yajin is just waiting for the mirage fox to be processed and be turned into a tippet so he can give it to the noble and get his money. The money that will be used so he can enchant his armor.

If they ever were to use some parts of the fox as material for the armor, then I guess we'll see it in future chapters.

 

[Eukene]

Based on how this went so far, I am sort of expecting it will never be clarified. Instead, after an interlude, we'll get something like "It's done! We used it with the components to create it using alchemy and enchanting. Now that it's here, the armour has the following properties."

Then we never find out what the process was, but people rereading these threads will wonder why we bothered to talk about it this much since the only relevant detail going forward is "Yajin has magic gimp suit armor."

 

[Wizardrone]

i hope not an accidental killing

 

[HelioCesar]

please author, give him some bandages and gaiters

 

[Seraphus]

So... in chapter SIX SEVEN, we learn that he now has.... check notes... a semi-invulnerable body sock?

I get the body sock with sick ninja fetish thing; totes based Nihon; no probs.
Buuutttt... it's gonna be clean, cleanable, durable, and... stop cuts? Cool story, but a thrust is way more worrisome, and animal teeth are not slashing weapons, so... is the artist going to invent more slashing animals?
(Since he already invented the slash-attack deer and rabbit, even though getting stabbed by a deer will kill you, while slashes heal comparatively easily... meaning the deer can be lunch much more easily...)

Anyway
Just seems like he's inventing armour that you would only need if you were facing a group of samurai, and literally nothing else.
Which really isn't as much of a problem as one might think, even in Japan.
Not usually, anyway.
