The round house kinda felt like an ass pull, but at least to me it felt more like an ass pull from how they drew it. I'm not saying I could draw it better but I feel the choreography looks a little disjointed enough for it to look like a nonsensical attack.

I agree, but even if he drew it better it's still weak that the kid would land a low-percentage acrobatic kick that, unless I'm forgetting, he never practiced before.
Also, those kinds of spinning ticks are really easy to see coming for an experienced fighter if you just do them from a crouched over stance . the only way those kicks land is if you disguise them with another attack

He got arrogant and missed the finishing blow.

He tried to regain the advantage and end it there, but he forgot about Akita's ace in the hole; grappling.

Oji-san lost.
But it was a damn beautiful fight.
Let's go

It feels weird that the guy tried to end it with a punch when he knew his opponent was actively going for triangular chokes. The art and action are great but it feels like sometimes the characters get off a bit too easily.
It makes sense that it slipped his mind because he was thinking more about how he had just stopped the attack that ended his career, leading to him doing the best thing in his arsenal, which was his heavy punches, ending in a loss. But I will say the round house was out of the blue.

It's a 3-move sequence of a former pro getting hotheaded and underestimating a young amateur, happening all in the span of a few seconds.

He gets the correct read that he's got him beat in strength and technique, plus Akita is already nearly spent from the blows he's taken, so his only winning move is a hold. So far so good.

Akita closes the distance surprises him by improv. deflecting the straight to the face, but Full Contact Ojiisan still reflexively gets a knee blow in, with the reasonable immediate assessment that it's a match decider given how Akita nearly passed from the first one, but this time the lad grits his teeth and pulls through with a surprise roundhouse. Ojiisan himself is like "that was my mistake" about opening himself up for that one.

And while Akita managed to get him good, he still didn't get to knock him out, so still with a hot head, and now with real desperation thinking he could actually lose this thing if he lets Akita catch his breath and get back up, he goes for a finishing blow straight because despite knowing kicking techniques Ojiisan heavily favors his punches to the point they cost him a world championship, seriously this is like his defining character trait and the trap is sprung.
You explained it better. :haa:

Don't know how to feel about this. Glad our boy won, but feels like he shouldn't have. Training or not, he's new to violence in general, old guy was a professional (I'm going to assume his skills have deteriorated from the injury and beating up unskilled hoodlums). Just feels like our boy should've lost here, and come back stronger later, or faced the old guy much later.

I don't remember the stakes for these fights, i.e. if it's a knockout tournament.
you seem to forget just how fast he masters techniques he's only seen once or twice. he literally turned the guys techniques against him.

I would recommend this a lot more if it didn’t that arc with the yakuza and actual trafficked woman laugh at MC for not being okay with grape
And I would take your comment more seriously if you actually typed out raped instead of graped. What are you scared of? The algorithm of Tiktok here?
