I agree. Yumigahama was hyped up for incredibly long as this villain with arrogance and the power to justify it. They even said "on par with Agito" earlier on.
Now Yumi feels like nothing but disposable waste.
Even when just looking at this fight solely, I find it stupid. "Stealing martial arts and weapon styles" is kinda fuckin stupid. It may be similar to how Agito evolves (like when he used Okubo's forte against Gaolang), but there was an actual threat there. Misasa has Silat, but Yumi doesn't feel like he has a defined style. He feels like a literal monkey, just throwing hands until something works. It would've been a better fight if Yumi actually dealt some damage, but all he did was give Misasa slight cuts.
Unpopular opinion, but this is why Rihito vs Falcon was the top fight for me so far. That fight radiated intensity and violence from both sides, and both were battered at the end. I felt nothing from Misasa vs Yumi.
If I want to justify Misasa vs Yumi, it'd have to be that Yumi was actually strong, its just that everything was against his favor and for Misasa's favor in this match. Yumi was very limited in this stage while Misasa thrived in it. We also have to take into account that Misasa is an actual Fang. People keep staring at the idea that Yumi was a former Fang and that he sullied the title (which he did), but he was fighting a Fang as well. Misasa was just underestimated by everybody.
