What a cop out

DAMN

Now toraichi gonna say: beat my disciple, MC before you can beat me!

 

[kyrex]

I get that they wanted to establish this guy as a threat, but that was just a lame fight that ended in the worst way possible. Tora is three times the size of the kid and somehow he's going thrown around and pinned instantly.

 

[griddu23]

thx for the chapter.

 

[Davy0]

It wasn't a lame fight, he learned how to grapple and that's not Tora's strength, it's obvious he's a stand up brawler, this shit happens in real life all the time, if you become too complacent with your skills you lose the hunger to grow, it was obvious Tora lost that hunger because he was "too strong". Now he's not, he knows his weakness and the MC learns that even his master has limits.

@Davy0
I have trouble believing that Tora became so strong and so unbeatable after an entire lifetime of being a brawler, and still never encountered a grappler or someone who uses holds and pins, leaving him woefully unable to react to having his ankle grabbed, or having someone obviously weaker than him put a hand on his arm to stop him from slugging them while they sit on his chest.

 

[Davy0]

@kyrex He knocked them out before they knew it. Do you see how big that guy is compared to his competition? The person he's fighting against is tall as hell at that. He knows what grapplers are, doesn't mean he practices or does things of that nature. That guy practiced grappling because he knew he couldn't fight him with striking.

So... Tora barges into the festival 'cause he's the strongest guy around; the karate guy fights Tora and drops out satisfied; Tora drops out too because this fight's his only motivation; MC beats other guys, wins but learns that the mightiest of men don't need all this festival hullabaloo, and the most valuable treasure is respect we've earned along the way. The end.
