Guess I'm too much of an old man now because all I can think about while watching him get punched in the face multiple times hard enough to be knocked off his feet is how much brain damage he's accumulating through those concussions.

If this is his main strategy to outlast the other gang leaders in a fight, then his body will be regretting his decisions in the future.

Thanks for the chapter, NGS.

lol MC-kun here can take so much abuse--he'll make for the perfect salaryman! Such a heroic trait (and you know it is, because he can make scaaary faces at the end).

Just don't give him any sealed jars to open.

That said, it went as I thought it would: the author fed MC-kun the victory. This guy Arai was hyped up to have been someone that even Karin couldn't reliably beat, never mind Touka and the girl with the weapons--and all three are possessed of combat experience. If MC-kun here could beat Arai at all, then there's no way there should be the distance between MC-kun and Karin that the story's been establishing--that is to say, Karin isn't anywhere near as good as the story's established her to be, because she's hardly better than someone with little to no fighting experience.

Speaking of fighting experience, which Arai has to have--and enough of it, paired with masculine strength, to give Karin serious trouble: MC-kun is clearly displaying he's a one-trick pony in terms of offense; for the most part, he kept low-kicking Arai in one place. If logic doesn't tell you to avoid having one spot on your body tenderized, you should at least get used to the extremely simple attack pattern you're facing. If not that, at least pay attention to the increasing pain in the spot that keeps taking hits. To reiterate: if this is how Arai fights--if he's this simple-minded--then Karin (who obviously has to rely on technique more than a male would) should have laid him flat with ease, in the past; Arai was/is not strong enough to negate technical superiority, either. All of this was just the author giving Can-can Boy the win by railroading Arai into eating every instance of the former's singular offensive tactic.

Well--at least MC-kun didn't wax emotional over Arai in the end. I could easily see it happening.

If you watch any MMA at all you will find a lot of fighters spamming the shit out of low kicks, it's just a very effective but simple move

The dude-that-gets-beaten-up-but-stand-up-again archetype have been done to death, get with the times

Sure--the source of power is actually in the lower body; naturally, because your upper body rests on it. Once your legs as that foundation go, forget everything else if you mean to use strength on your feet--that's indisputable.

The problem is ONLY doing low kicks, which is what Can-can Boy did in this fight. What you said is hyperbolic: fighters may execute low kicks frequently, but it's not the only thing they'll do--at least I hope it isn't. MC-kun was just begging to be read, baited, and countered--and should have been if Arai was formidable enough to make Karin sweat when she was at 100%, as I said before.

 

[Viny117]

She almost got raped, and said "nothing bad happened"

WTF???!!!!

 

[rluka]

Arai did dodge the kick.
But he’s caught in situation that he need to safe face.

Arai’s faction is more... “traditional” or maybe stereotypical delinquent. As their boss, he has the image of being the strong guy who will not back down.
Shiki challenges him to a man-to-man macho fight, exchanging blow and taking your opponent’s attack full on. Shiki, who is still nobody, shows his guts and takes Arai’s punch with his face. Arai can’t lose face in front of his underlings by showing he can’t take on the challenge from an opponent who is a lot more disadvantaged.

The other two factions... Aguri is more like organized crime, depending on their large numbers, information network and dealing. While Ikaruga faction is just a loose group of battle junkies, but their boss is a lovable idiot

this was some kids in on the playground level fighting. The bad guy does like 3 or 4 moves, the good guy only has 2, somehow this turd can slip punches like a super power.

Big boobs girl shoulda killed that guy, honestly they shoulda killed all the gang members.

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

MC must have really gone to town on that leg during training, if it didn't fell off from all that kicking.

She almost got raped, and said "nothing bad happened"

WTF???!!!!

Momozono got kidnapped and could've gotten raped too, yet was very distraught about being the cause of all the commotion. Least they could do over the phone is to dispel her worries.

 

[shadowtempestdemon]

Just call the fucking cops. They've definitely got group-chats discussing their plans, that and the messages they sent, even the fucking jap police wouldn't ignore that.

 

[Graywing]

This is unrealistic. First of all cops in Japan are not like the ones from the showa era. Nor are the delinquents. Weird that we keep seeing these authors write 70s and 80s delinquents in current times. Even in Shonan Junai Gumi (Early GTO) which takes place in the early 90s states that those types of delinquents were on the outs as laws started to change and in the 00s kids were starting to be tried as adults for crimes like assault, rape and murder.
No more kids gloves (unlike S.Korea). So yeah they should have called the cops and those guys would have ended up in jail. Hell, guys like them hardly even exist in Japan today. College roommate taught in Japan for 3 years and it's not the same as it was in the 80s and 90s. They still have a problem with sexual assault but it's done much differently from back then.
