Undefeatable with Cynthia Rothrock is pretty much a martial arts slasher movie. But because it had very low-budget sometimes some moments are kind of funny, especially the final fight scene.

Thanks for the translation! The famous Aoba Death Stare is back! That probably means we’re going to see a comeback in the next chapter. By the way, I’ve noticed that many of Aoba’s opponents are either impressed by or even afraid of his skills and antics. I’d love to see him go up against...

Thanks for the translation! Tbh I don't like the pushing of the "This guy never loses if the fight goes beyond one round" narrative. Good to see Aoba and Amachi being skeptical about it. I hope the coaches have some kind of a plan in mind (like catch Yamamoto during his shifting to the right).

Amachi gives life-saving instructions and validates his status as the best coach in the manga IMHO. Aoba's opponents do not receive the same quality advice from their corner most of the time.

Sheesh, give Yamamoto a break. The guy has over 50 fights and is still in the game being 44, in a weight class where people after 35 are considered OLD. That deserves some respect. And of course, he is looking past Aoba because it's literally his last chance to get to the title. We won't see...

Thanks! I think the author likely takes a lot of inspiration from the Japanese MMA scene, which I don't follow. So my parallels with UFC fighters might be not super precise, but sometimes there are definitely similarities. Kenshin is definitely based on Tenshin Nasukawa, who had some MMA fights...

Ironically, Hooper is scheduled to fight Jim Miller, who is 41 and has almost 60 fights (record holder for most fights and wins in UFC). The parallel with Aoba vs. Shogo is crazy.

Agree, so satisfying to see these lightning-fast translations. Amachi is like a manga protagonist who then ultimately failed and became frustrated. Now it makes sense why he didn't like Aoba in the beginning. Would argue with the Ortega and Hooper comparison though, both are not bad strikers...

Sheesh, Dagestani people here are written the same way as Russians in early Baki. Sooo many stereotypes (dunno if the translation made it worse). BTW, Dagestan is not a country, just one of the many republics within Russia. Realistically, nobody will pick a street fight with a star MMA fighter...

I just think from the storytelling perspective that fight and the outcome did not lead anywhere. Had the coach quickly lost it would have been super realistic but at the same time a bummer for the Shark gym since Aoba had just lost before. But since the coach won, the main question for me is...

I still think All Rounder Meguru is slightly more grounded when it comes to stuff like injuries, training, and fighter progress. This manga still has some plot armor moments. Some are slight, like Aoba's lightning fast progress in the first ~85 chapters (after that it's all good). But the...

LIghtning-fast translation, thank you! Finally, the hidden genius trope is mentioned. Aslo, after this chapter I am more confident that Aoba might win by KO/TKO.

Plot armor, let's goooo! I’m okay with Aoba winning, but I can’t shake the feeling that the writing was less consistent during the final part of the tournament. Two months ago, during the preliminaries, Aoba couldn’t submit Hazuru due to physical exhaustion. Here, it’s emphasized multiple times...

I actually think he may win the next fight with the veteran guy by KO/TKO (we haven't seen these kicks for a while). He will def win coz every time the coach says Aoba's chances are slim, he pulls a miracle. I also speculate that in the anticipated fight with Kenshin (if it happens), they might...

I am more surprised Aoba did not get another title shot given his 8 (now 9) fight win streak. His recent Banryu opponents seem to have much worse records. It might be coz the crowd does not like him, but I don't get it. Aoba's fights are prertty enetrtatining, he is a finisher not a "crotch...

I essentially said the same thing you are implying (belivable combat sports athelete and not a super human) by stating his strong and weak traits. So, we are on the same page here. In fact, I like that the author made Hachiya this way and not a terminator with an iron chin. His loss to Aoba...

What I am saying is that Hachiya got knocked down by an injured Aoba, knocked down twice (knee to the body and a left-hand counter) in this fight. And the fight with Aoba happened ~70 chapters ago, so the author is actually consistent here. I get it, Hachiya seems to be the fan favorite, but...

There is no convincing proof that flash knockdowns do zero damage. After all, even a small loss of coordination means the brain is affected. And the fact that he got hit by that flying knee (although not super clearly) might have exacerbated the damage, and it will show later. But his opponent...

He was knocked down right in the beginning of their fight by a headkick. It was a flash knockdown, but still concerning given it was early Aoba. Something similar happened here. It's just I expected Hachiya to follow this iron chin/body trope due to his physique initially, but it seems not the case

Brutal finish, but I feel like Hachiya has shown signs of being a glass cannon. Even Aoba knocked him down. I think he will eventually get clipped by Kenshin or somebody else with a good counter
