Hagure Idol Jigokuhen - Vol. 7 Ch. 44 - A Moment's Chance

[Marcellx]

Wasn't Karate girl suppose to be the big bad? she lost her first match.

@SuperOniichan

Yeah, key word "right now". I'm referring to one that's like this from beginning to end. No gravure idol story, just a full on lewd female Kengan Asura or Baki.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Marcellx She's not a big bad, rather one of his minions. The real Big Bad (at least for now) is capable

Spoiler

of throwing Misora ​​to the ground with one hand

. One way or another, in a couple of chapters, you yourself will find out.

UPD.

@CuJoJo Well, we don't just call this arc "Yuri Baki". But overall, I agree with you. Many of my complaints and salt would have been lifted if this title had been a combat lewd manga from the very beginning, and not created one weird subplot after another. But on the other hand, didn't that make this work in its own way unique before? Even though this arc (4 or 5 volumes) and the rest of the manga are like two different titles

 

[CuJoJo]

@SuperOniichan well, can't argue with that lol

 

[SuperOniichan]

@CuJoJo A couple of years ago, this manga even had a place of honor among the list of "weirdest titles with the lowest rating" from the subreddit "manga", lol. A very dubious achievement, but impressive, isn't it?

@SuperOniichan that's the thing about Hagure manga, we see all the necessary built-up happening in between fights. We learn of who they are, their perspective on the fight and then we get the fight itself which is short but sweet. In most of the sports or martial arts mangas we get these same scenes while the fight itself is going on. Interrupting the flow, setting up the flow, showing us the stakes and so much more. Most of which could have been handled better.

So it's quite refreshing not to see it here!

I've got a few errors to point out again:

-The founder of Shotokan is called Funakoshi, not Fukanoshi.

-Mas Ooyama didn't found Kyokushinkai, but the Kyokushin Kaikan, the original organization for Kyokushin Karate. There was also a school calling itself Kyokushinkai (No clue what Kanji they used) in the US some years ago, who basically took Kyokushin and added groundfighting to it. But they seem to no longer exist under that name, as I can't find them online.

-Ooyama didn't beat up angry bulls. He broke of a leashed, calm bull's horn with his forearm. The bull never showed aggression. There's a video of it that can be found on Youtube every now and then before it's taken down for animal cruelty.

Also, this is the first manga I've seen that depicted Silat anywhere close to how it actually looks. Though it's still a bit of from the White Crane Style I learned.

@Saon A good action manga is more than just fights with minimal settings. I understand why this annoys you, but the fact that many titles spend too much time chatting doesn't mean this title should be as simplistic as possible. Moreover, Hagure already gives a lot of information during fights, I don't see how it differs much from the inspired Rui titles like Baki or Hajime no Ippo.

@Ulfhednar But what about that American dude's fight with the bear? Tekken's Harada literally created two memetic characters with inspiration from this.

 

[Mort1997]

The effort in the post-chapters is insane and can not be praised enough. Kuddos to you TL!!

 

[Renan_Walheim]

I wasnt expecting Mika to job that hard.

I love the credits section!

 

[Ironclad]

This is turning into my favorite fighting manga.

 

[Ulfhednar]

@SuperOniichan

But what about that American dude's fight with the bear?

Never heard of that before, and the only similiar thing I can find online is a video of some Kyokushin practitioner called Willie Williams fighting a "Grizzly" that looks suspiciously like a black bear, seems to be muzzled, moves as if sedated and seems to have it's claws either removed or covered. I won't put a link here, as I'm pretty sure that posting such animal cruelty would get me banned, but it's easy to find on google.

 

[Odoritomaki]

@Ulfhednar Thanks, I made some edits. I'm embarrassed that I messed up Funakoshi's name like that. I did most of this writing at 4 in the morning and the letters blurred together for me. The "kai" in Kyokushinkai means "organization," and it's also the first character of the similar-meaning Kaikan. I changed the name to "Kyokushin," to simplify it.

 

[Yotomoe]

I can't believe Mika is out. I was really looking forward to seeing her brutal Karate more. Oh well. There's enough strong fight choreography to sate me either way.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Ulfhednar Well, Oyama had a famous American student (I don't remember his name already), about whom there was a legend that he was able to defeat a bear in a "pure fight". Perhaps this is it. At one time, Harada parodied this extremely strongly in Tekken, introducing a rivaling between Kuma and karateka Paul, who generally embodies a whole bunch of Japanese stereotypes about American karateka. Tekken as a whole is generally very strongly based on parodying various memes from the martial arts world (for example, femme fatale killers with Rambo's martial skills or whole characters for jokes about the careers of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee), so it stuck in my memory pretty much.

By the way, it sounds pretty funny in context, considering that Rui was the author of the official Tekken Manga. It's a grotesque non-canon, but thanks to that we now have an Asuka x Lili ship that, if you think about it, is quite similar to the early vibes of Misora ​​x Akira.

 

[zanonyn]

Hilarious all the people thinking Mika is actually out. Come on.

 

[leonkevlar]

Come on Michelle! You got this girl!

 

[KochengOren]

1) Actually the term "silat" is similar to th term "wushu/kung fu". It's a general term, because there are myriad of styles derived from them.
2) While " wrestling" maybe was the oldest type of Western martial arts, I don't think that's sounds true to the Eastern martial arts. The reason is simple, just take a glance at the average size of European vs Asian body stature. That means most of the time, the Asian martial arts focused on "technique" to overcome stronger/bigger opponent/beast; while Western martial arts tend to glorify physical prowess.

There's couple of sports Kazakhs are pretty successful: boxing comes to mind right away. Also, Cycling. They are successful at winter sports as well (NO suprise there. It gets -40c during winter there.).

 

[BatNova]

Damn what a knockout! Lmao!
