The thing is in any fight we see where Pickle loses he'd look like a jobber because his whole thing is soaking up damage until he wins; look back to his previous fights and his key advantage is almost always his ability to take punishment That being said it would have been nice if he'd busted...

Tsuyoshi is a complete prick lol, those are his guys and they got run over by a car, that's attempted murder but he doesn't care because it's his girlfriend's brother who did it. This is why I never fully sympathise with him in any of the arcs so far, he's just so selfish and self-pitying...

Karate Bro was also a true friend.

I think one of the big difference makers is that Jack can actually hurt Pickle now

Thanks for the chapters. I'm less happy with the conclusion of this arc than I was for the middle of it, I think the issue is that I don't find Tsuyoshi rampaging around as fun as the pure martial arts stuff and to have the whole tournament basically deemed a waste of time was - well, you're...

Incidentally this makes it clear why earlier he was telling Tsuyoshi (in the bar) he could just lose a fight on purpose. He was undermining the OC from within; with the defeat of Tamagahane Kagiyan was the only available fighter and he was in the pocket of Gouda the whole time.

What sort of martial arts do you practice that you think the two guys in a row with robot hearts were grounded?

They introduced ki in like volume 2 and nothing has been less grounded than that since.

Lol don't mistake a shitty haircut and some flashy clothes for confidence, Tsuyoshi is in a guilded cage being used by that evil old man and is fighting his friends who are risking their health to get him out of that situation. His real dream is to become an artist, he isn't making any progress...

This volume may be the best in the manga yet, after like 200 chapters of Tsuyoshi being invincible Teru locking in and giving him a really good fight is amazing. They could have written it so his brother was the one to do this but it is so much more satisfying with Teru because he's the one...

No, I think that was an arm triangle choke

I like how Andrew who previously professed to be a seeker of knowledge is so fiercely rejecting something that goes against his view of the world that he literally cannot comprehend what is happening in front of him. It's also telling that he was basically able to understand Jadis - a 7ft tall...

I love that she calls him out as sounding like his uncle, he really is making the same argument that he has the right to do what he wants out of curiosity

I love that this is actually already set up by the guy who helped fix karate bro's spine

They should have kept the decathlete in reserve so he could keep copying people. He would have lost the last fight probably if he hadn't seen Kagiyan's defensive abilities.

The bullies he cripped for life just made fun of his brother in elementary school. His brother killed himself long after that. Yes they were bratty little kids but his revenge was deeply, deeply disproportionate. He was a very depraved individual.

Thanks for the chapters... The worst part is waiting all this time for Emden to potentially lose to this jackass.

The kneeling before using the sand is an actual bunkai (analysis) of a move from a karate kata (form) - there are kneeling sections in some kata and it's believed by some that this is so you can pick something up to throw or swing. The author has done his research.

Kagiyan's style reminds me of Sekibayashi from Kengan

Good ending, I'm glad they didn't find a stupid way for him to win over Ron but still respected his fighting ability.
