There are tons of finishes off of eyepokes or head clashes where fighters just get away with it if the ref doesn't intervene, in this case Aoba immediately pushing for action just after it happened meant that the ref may not have been able to pick up an eyepoke had happened. Kureishi probably...

This manga is about presenting the sport not showing what ideally would happen. Just a couple chapters ago the audience basically dozed off because it stopped being a slugfest and became a grappling match (which is actually a little unfair because it was quite high paced grappling which doesn't...

Aoba could have still gotten a decision win potentially anyway, won the first round a lot clearer than Kureishi won the second. I think his performance in the first round set the tone, Kureishi wouldn't have bothered with the ground fight but Aoba was actually outperforming him on the feet...

I can't wait to see Kenshin's reaction lol

I think the difference is she's got her arms behind her back in both those shots whereas for the school scenes she has her hands on her hips. Depending on your shoulders that can make a big difference

Well the MC is still weak so he's an appropriate level opponent, plus he was already badly injured when the N3 oneshot him. Though the karate old man was definitely a more difficult fight overall.

You don't need to be some ninja to have the advantage with a knife. Even if you don't hit the femoral artery a good stab will still badly compromise the leg and reduce the chance of further kicks.

Part of that is her trying to stab him. I think you could also say it's his mixed feelings about running away that contributed to fighting this guy head on instead

In fairness after Setsuna comes at you with a knife a random goon coming at you with a knife is much less intimidating

Knife guy was a glass cannon, he was dangerous because of his weapon but not experienced with it and wasn't physically strong like the karate guy who was hard to submit. An experienced knife user would have countered the kick by trying to stab the leg; one of the blood vessels in the thigh...

That didn't happen, it was a hallucination

A martial artist who encountered knives enough would simply be dead An amateur with a knife can still kill a martial artist, the MC is so inexperienced that this current enemy is extremely dangerous. A trained expert with weapons would annihilate him and is more of a late game enemy tbh

I've done proofreading before, do you want me to give it a shot?

MC is basically a pure cheater, it's genuinely ridiculous. He wanted to test his skills in boxing and broke a guy's arm with what is basically a standing arm crank.

No, if you're stuck in a rear naked choke you can't bite your way out. But if someone has taken your back they can bite your neck easily Or if someone gets top position they'd look to try and bite the other guy while controlling them with their weight Biting is just another weapon for...

Could be that Reality Scans is making mistakes, wouldn't be the first time. He's not actually in it for the translation, he's a known scammer who rushes, doesn't care about quality, and who explicitly targets series that were already being worked on. I wish people would have higher expectations...

This guy does not have better all around skills, he should have gotten stood up for inactivity. He was a bad matchup for Aoba though but benefitted from a horrendous ref. Aoba does have bad fundamentals* but they weren't really what cost him this fight. *(In that his game is not really...

Kenshin isn't based on Kai Asakura, he's based on Tenshin Nasukawa, the kickboxer. And Kai Asakura isn't mainly a knee guy, he's always been very boxing heavy. Knees are a double edged sword against takedowns because if you time them wrong you can give up a takedown easily. Hachiya's issue was...

I'm pretty sure this has to be a violation of rule 1.8 right? 30 chapters held behind an external paywall? That's like three volumes worth. I'm not a mod, is there a mod here who can clarify why this doesn't break site rules?
