I'm quite surprised Beard-sensei rushed in, I was expecting the inversed after the display of his last match. Please authors-san continue to suprise us !
@Kathartes I don't think he let it happen, he looks surprised when he is first hit. And judging by the fact that he was first to rush in, I would guess that the Fang is better at predicting but Gensai plays into it and counters it.
@BrightSideoLife
He's probably making the right choice here. Old man knows that the Fang has him beat in several stats. Taking initiative is the best move
