Damn hips from Rikudou. Those will bring all the boys from the yard.

I’m expecting the reward to be a sparring with her again but with a new moveset (i’m secretly hoping it’ll be bath time with her in a bikini while she’s tending to his wounds).

Rikudou is just too tight and thicc at the same time, and those hips OML, I can't believe such a perfect figure exists, even for manga standards lol. It's clear she was given some special attention this chapter, her art looks totally gorgeous and stunning!

Just like I  fantasized ahem predicted last chapter, time for Rikudou Reward!! Hopefully it will be like a lap pillow or something affectionate/wholesome, or maybe even naughty/erotic lol

Even though we know she's not that kind of character

Still though, it wouldn't surprise me if Rikudou actually has a pretty casual and indifferent attitude about sex, in that she actually might not mind sleeping with him and doesn't really care for love. She seems to only care about violence, so it wouldn't really strike me that odd if she was a bit more nonchalant about having sex herself, so as long as it's something that happens on her own terms/consent, since from what we've seen from when the scumbag contest director/boss stole a kiss from Rikudou, she didn't hesitate to raise hell to punch his face in retaliation (eventually).

There is an interesting yet rather taboo direction a certain question can go regarding her ideology, which is pretty downstream of violence AND it's also something that happens to be one of MC's fantasies he had at the beginning of the story. If she believes in violence totally to the point of "might makes right," then surely she must know that were she to bested in a contest of violence (aka a fight with no rules like we've just seen), according to her own worldview of the weak being entirely at the mercy of the strong, with the latter being free to do as they please with the former, then it is only natural that the man who defeats her will be allowed to have his way with her body, with or without her consent.

If wonder if she'd be a hypocrite here and disagree with this logical conclusion of her philosophy, or simply agree with this implication (as grave and horrendous of a fate though she may consider it to be), in full hardcore Rikudou-style like what we've seen from her as far as her ideology goes (more likely imo). I keep thinking about how maladjusted she is, and keep wondering if MC can somehow, with his own desire to stand against injustice and showing pure intentions, somehow manage of pull her back into the light of proper morals/virtue, but then again, I suppose this series would lose its charm and selling point of lawlessness/absence of moralization/emphasis of violence.

Didn't mean for this to turn into a wall of text, but I really think Rikudou's philosophy is one of the most underexplored aspects of this manga, in the sense that if she was the MC instead, we'd get to see a lot more scenarios/situations where we'd get to see the fullest extent of her lawless ideology take shape and influence events. I do like current MC though, but he's just not as interesting of a character as Rikudou, because she's more broken than him, in a particularly interesting, "can't look away from the trainwreck" kinda way.

Was a bit salty at how last chapter went, but to be quite honest I really like this chapter. Made me think back to the fight with the world champion and how both fights teach us to never think of defeat as the end, but simply as something that happens along the way. Really liked it, thank you for the TL.

Rikudou looking extra thicc on pg13
She didn't show up for a while, gotta give the audience their due.
I really hope this is not the last we see from Watanabe, I would love to see him turning into an ally to the main cast.
You gotta love the balding middle aged guy who can kick ass and crush metal barehanded.
