Bouryoku Banzai - Ch. 75 - The Mighty

[NotLazy]

yeah but since mc is supposed to defeat this prodigy, he's going to lose in such manner that it'll provoke mc's wrath.

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

Last panel hit? No way it landed.

 

[Galder]

remind me again how Akita beat Karate Dad if Karate Dad was this OP

or why he always gets downed by straight punches

It cracked his sunglasses, I think he tried to block it though so it isn't going to be the end of the fight.

 

[Homuranagi]

nah old man is primed for the worf effect

 

[Nutfiend]

We all know he's gonna job, but at least he didn't job that hard. Very cool stuff old man

 

[allod]

would've been too much if isao didn't at least break the sunglasses after they went through all that

Because the dad sensed a real fighter standing in front of him, not a shrimp Akita, he let his guard down and went easy on Akita, which Akita took advantage of. Remember, the dad was low in spirit, lacking the fire he used to have when fighting Akita, but currently, that fire is burning bright, so we can see him at full potential (not at his prime)

 

[Marborday]

Good showing, Karate Dad.

 

[Sigilbreaker26]

That's just logical, because straight punches to the head are something he shouldn't have much experience with and have a slightly longer range than he's used to.

I think it's plausible to argue that losing to Akita reignited his fighting spirit, but at the same time it still is a huge stretch that Akita was able to beat him, I think Watanabe's subsequent appearances have been largely driven by popularity. That's twice now that he's shown up unexpectedly, and unless he gets killed or crippled here I don't think he'll drop out of the story entirely.

No. 2 on the planet, former or not, is not a lightweight rank. That's actually absurdly highly ranked. How did Isao even lose before?

 

[goodhunter]

I'm glad he managed to land a hit (or at least crack his glasses) but I can already tell that it will lead to Sojo being more pissed & probably beating him close to death. I hope I'm wrong & Isao leaves without permanent injuries. Thanks for the translations.

I agree. I'm glad it wasn't a complete one sided beat down and he got some licks in, but this is definitely going to end with him losing after t his.

 

[PallasToyo]

Please it would be so funny if karate dad defeats the new big bad before mc even meets him

 

[Sigilbreaker26]

Because he's massively out of practice at a guess. He had that rank years before.

 

[Erasmus303]

YEAH OLD MAN, BEAT HIS ASS!!

 

[allod]

25 years ago, half his entire life. also was forced into retirement by a debilitating injury. probably only starting picking fights with delinquents recently, and didn't face any real opponents who could fight back until no rules started. it's definitely safe to assume he didn't start shaking off a lot of the rust until after akita beat him.

I think the dad was suffering from depression and low motivation, which, to be honest, anyone would perform half under that condition.

 

[Ukiyokun]

The thing that keeps on worrying me is that we haven't seen Sojo use Zenith yet but he's got to have it, right?

He might just be talented enough to beat the master without it. The guy is getting old, and it doesnt seem like something that can be simply gained through talent.

Definitely won’t end the fight, but considering how hard the old man hits, I wouldn’t be surprised if it still did damage. Karate Sakamoto hits arguably just as hard if not harder than the MMA guy.
