Pickle got insanely nerfed, like Oliva.
Oliva made sense, on paper at least, it just looked really really bad on practice because of how much of a stomp it was.
We've always been shown and told that Oliva's biggest weakness is that he fucks around and tries to play along the other person's rules at first, but when he actually fights as himself, when he plays to his own strengths, he does great.
That's why he lost to Sukune and first, and then why he won afterwards, because he actually fought as Oliva.

Here there's no excuse, they don't even say that Pickle has malnutrition from eating sewer animals only or something. No. He just stands there taking all the hits not doing anything like a retard, scratching Jack like a little girl, and then letting Jack get even more hits for free, and even despite Pickle's ridiculous durability being his thing now somehow all of Jack attacks do affect him because ??? when before in the past Pickle tanked everything no fucks given and only indirect things like benda or the chin blow could make him feel it.

The announcer is either tweaking something fierce or he and narrator have melded into one...
Pickle didnt even go animal mode
This is another job fight for jack to show off nothing more
Maybe Pickle didn't bother going animal mode since he knew it wouldn't make a difference.

Jack dealt with Pickle with less difficulty than Musashi, and had thoroughly prepared for a rematch against him.

People talking about Pickle being nerfed don't really understand his arc in this fight. Bro isn't an animal anymore, he is learning to speak, he is learning what modern fighting entails. He has learned Jack is his boyfriend. When you get knocked out on your ass in Baki, you lose, that's how it's been.

The talking would have been a lot more impactful if he hadn't just done it with Baki a few chapters ago.

Page 16 is maybe one of the worst Baki pages ever drawn.
I have to say I kinda agree on this one, in spite of Jack & Pickle having become something outside of natural human proportions how they are standing is really off even by Itagaki's standards.
