How did Akita beat the karate guy? Unless the dude got a massive zenkai boost he shoulda offed our turbo nerd MC in the first few panels. I know it's plot, but geez.. old guy is a one man army.
I think the point of the One Shot One Kill stuff is that it's a counter to trash mobs. So he's able to wipe out randoms but Akita was at the point that they fought too skilled to just get blown away immediately, plus mobs fight very aggressively whereas Akita was very defensive in that fight so he wasn't just sitting there waiting to get battered.

Not every punch will ko you, everyone’s durability is different, even more so with a mc

Yeah, I think you're on the money. Karate guy just seems like so much more of a badass right now, and the mobs are only making him look better.

I'll be surprised if there's no Street Fighter or Tekken Collab with the kind of fighting rules in this series. That Miu flying drop kick was so clean. I also want an anime :thumbsup:

I thought Bartleby's M.O. was that he was not a fighter, but a strategist. Maybe was holding his capabilities in his back pocket as a strategy.

I mean if you look a few chapters back where he was Dodge tanking both Miu and Akita simultaneously he flat out says he's been trained in multiple martial arts since he was a child. He just doesn't like fighting himself because his goal is to make Mitsuhara look bad.

Shouldn't say "high school BOY" and "FEMALE wrestler" in the same sentence. It should be consistent—boy–girl/male–female—when speaking about people (gender equality).
No? Because 'male high schooler' is not natural English in this situation. Miu isn't a girl either she's a woman, but "woman wrestler" or "lady wrestler" would sound a bit clumsy from someone with Bartleby's pretty articulate speech patterns, leaving only "wrestler woman" which still sounds off versus "female wrestler".
