This is clearly not a realistic manga and I knew that from the second Akita survived a fall out of a third floor window basically totally uninjured followed by someone jumping that distance unharmed like it was nothing. You're annoyed because Setsuna might have picked up a borderline-magic super...

I don't want to run too much defence for BB because it's got as many bad chapters as good ones but: 1. Setsuna is clearly established as talented. 2. Setsuna is a perfect fit for Zenith which is more about mindset than being a complex technique or whatever. 3. Setsuna has been fighting basically...

I mean the very previous arc she tossed him off a cliff and left him trapped in a valley with no food or water except tiny amounts he had to fight her psycho brother for and wouldn't let him go even when he begged on his knees, then after all of that she still knocked him out.

She was probably just overly aggressive all the time, not that she didn't learn anything ever. Note that after a decade she's still familiar enough with it to recover from Kirara's throw - and she also knows Zenith which seems to be a signiature technique of the style. I don't think it's a...

Thanks for the chapter. The typesetting is really good. These chapters are pretty beefy, 36 pages per - I wonder how many per volume? Her style is very good for beating a lot of weak people easily but I wonder how it'll stack up against individually strong opponents

Tbh even Bartleby wasn't a joke and he only got rank 11 from ganking people, Sojo is also going to be stronger than Watanabe. I think the top 10 are probably pretty close together power wise

Reiji is a whole different animal, also we've seen him fight twice and he didn't use weapons. That being said if this guy was able to beat Setsuna's master in a fight he's probably very strong.

He's only fighting for a few more minutes he's not going to pass out from blood loss

There's no need to be snide, I think the biggest obstacle to Kenichi's english community is that big chunks of the original series had terrible scans. On the subject of the chapter: I think Kenichi should honestly be beyond running away at this point. Also a bit annoying that his actions...

Orima is doing fine, he's defending all of this Aoba just has like 50 billion triangle setups and this burst of energy has put Orima off. The rest of the fight Orima was winning like 90% of it

Dangit, good catch

I have no idea why that would ruin immersion since it's in keeping with Akita's established register, but it just means "made a mess of it" (especially with connotations of screwing up something that should have been easy). I think it's actually fairly easy to understand what that means via context.

That's specifically Okinawan Kobudo. Which does fall under the kobujutsu umbrella but Kobujutsu in general means "ancient/classical/historical martial arts", and refers to any pre-Meiji Restoration martial arts. Since Kido-style (which is probably a jujutsu style) is from the Edo period, it's...

Sorry man, was in a bit of a hurry today. As recompense check out this illustration from the Dandadan mangaka: https://x.com/cityluffytaro/status/2096836164749799490 It does seem to be related. There was some ambiguity about whether we should have gone for "kobujutsu" or "classical martial...

If it wasn't up to snuff they would have axed it long before, and moving to a different magazine is actually extremely rare for a series. Especially given they were axing so many at once. Series that declined far more precipitously than Kenichi were given far longer grace periods - Kengan Omega...

Kenichi didn't get axed because of quality it got axed because the magazine axed literally every series they had at the same time for some stupid stunt

I actually disagree. The Data Retrieval arc is post Agaard and that whole arc is really strong, and I like most of the Amusement Park Arc (even if it kind of trips over itself a bit by having too many different fights going on). Even the final arc is still pretty good. I think the only really...

Thanks for translating Fighting Prime chapter 1.

BB, can you DM me on here? We need to talk.

I actually assumed that Setsuna's mother was Bartleby's mother/Mitsuhara's former lover, who raised Bartleby in an attempt to create someone violent enough to get Mitsuhara's attention, and that Setsuna was a second attempt
