Yeah Aoba kind of perfectly captures the downside of having that kind of world class power. Yeah, you end fights pretty quickly with your touch of death but are you really learning or digesting much from the experience? 🤔

Never thought about it that way but makes sense with fighters like Francis Ngannou never really mastered striking technique or ground work mostly because he could end most fights with pure power but you saw how easily AJ was able to dismantle him .

Yeah and as much as people hate to admit it, objectively speaking Fury out boxed him. I guess that’s the double edged nature of having that kind of power.

There’s almost 0 incentive to actually master all of the basics. Especially if you start combat sports late and you get addicted to the high of ending it all with 1 Punch Saitama style. Same goes for the Downfall of Wilder


At first I thought Aoba was just being his usual petty self but in a way? Not getting to truly absorb the quality experience that comes with fighting a veteran IS sort of a waste. Can you imagine if Ippo ended his fight with Dante in one punch and learned nothing?

Now that I think about it, Kenshin kinda reminds me of Sage.

All he has to do now is animorph into a golden retriever and the expy will be perfect.

It looked easy because it was boxing not MMA. Ngannou has become a pretty well-rounded fighter in the recent years. And most of this progress comes from changing the camp to Xtreme Couture in 2018. I think people generally underestimate the importance of a good team (coaches and sparring parthers), management (matchmaking), and infrastructure (recovery and medicine) for the success of a fighter. And these aspects are rarely covered in mangas.
It's not just who had the hardest fights and most time in the ring, its the whole environment that surrounds the fighter.

Good god some guy wanted to say head gym guy had plot armor against Dogestani guy? Kenshin literally pisses me off and this just adds a whole new level.

One hit KO against a veteran my ass.
