Why is it so touching to watch two assholes beat each other to death?

 

[NotSomeone]

Damn Mashiba almost hit him with the Sonic Spin

 

[Graywing]

Wasn't there a whole thing about Rosario being super lucky? The frame where Mashiba slipped looked really dangerous, like he had gotten hit at the top of his head and compressed his neck due to falling on it, but he got up and there didn't seem to be any damage from it. There can't be all that much left in the fight considering their condition though so I can't imagine many more events like these.

Moreover, Rosario appears to be accepting that he'll lose since he's saying he'll return to Japan, which I assume to mean that he intends to come to take back the belt he'll have lost, while Mashiba is still determined to take the belt - they have different mentality going into this round.

Just a take, but I believe it's a bit more than that. With Rosario believing that there's nowhere else but the ring he can experience "fairness", at the start he also thought that getting a upper hand on him even fairly wasn't right so he turned to scumbag tactics.

Over the course of this fight I do believe his mentality has been influenced by mashiba boxing straightforward and his strength made it click that what mashiba was doing was fair, which made him think the best way to get a fair match is over here in Japan.

It's kinda like Ricardo with date, he found that the strongest warrior he's encountered was a samurai on a small island to the east. I feel it's the same here in different words.

Now watch him foul him in the next match and prove me wrong

He did hit top of his head, and you see that his vision is watery, I hope Morikawa won't rob Mashiba of win.

As always, thanks translators for chapter!

I just recently reread joe and man this is making me scared

 

[raidensnakeezio]

It's so simple yet so masterful, the way Morikawa uses and shows the crowd to really make it feel like you're in the building with all of them, trying to cheer Mashiba on, even if the crowd is ultimately just ink on a page.
