finally got to see her compete. she's so goated...

 

[useless]

Wah, she's really good!

 

[eugenekli]

Thanks for the new chapter! RIP leg grabs

 

[Manko-sensei]

Woha, that was really intense, and I also felt that on my chin!
I must admit that Anna going for the legs is so on character, but I thought she was going to slip through her legs and grab her from behind.

Michi handing off her role in Nagumo's good luck spank to their teacher and then Nagumo being launched a meter or so from it got a chuckle out of me.

Is an accidental headbutt like that not being called normal though? Seems like something that would at least get a warning and have them told to reset to starting position...

 

[Suben]

I really like how the scenes always feel full in that there's always stuff going on in the background and around the characters.

Is there a known reason why this technique was banned? It doesn't seem too traumatic or dishonest.

Used to be allowed but things changed. Just going off the top of my head here but iirc
What happened often times is that judo competitors would grab the legs, get a minor score, and then be defensive once they achieved that score. A lot of the matches were bow, fight for grip, dive for the legs, hope for a low score, and then be defensive for the rest of the match doing just enough to not get called for a shido. It was rare to see a single leg or a double leg score for ippon but back then it didn't matter. The players were coached to fight a certain way because the ippon doesn't matter. Winning does. So they cut that shit out like a cancer

So it was mainly intended to stop abuse by athletes in general, and not because it was some kind of killer technique?
