Kudos to the cameraman, he really captured the essence of our home boy on that promo vid 😭👌

They did him so fucking dirty lol (No lies detected tho)

Not gonna lie, when Orima tried to pitch his final fight with Aoba instead of Kenshin, I thought Aoba might get to fight Kenshin as a selector for Orima's last fight, so I was quite surprised when Orima suggested Kureishi instead who happened to be the one Aoba wanted to have a match against next. Though if Aoba wins against Kureishi, that means Orima will likely push for his final fight to be against Aoba instead of Kenshin. The only option to prevent that is a selector between Aoba and Kenshin, but it also means Orima will idle without any match while waiting for the winner of that matchup. Well, let's first see if Aoba can defeat Kureishi as that guy is really good too.

Promo was hilarious. XD

Amachi crying from laughter in the last panel is just great.

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it" - Aoba

 

[pdot1123]

I love how much the story emphasises that Aoba is like a total weirdo whose entire career is built on being mad about the one time a guy tried to help him when he was getting bullied in high school. what a toxic king we love aoba "devil's triangle" suzuki

Insane slander. Totally accurate, but insane slander.

Love this chapter, thought it does nothing to help our protagonist's image as a gloomy heel. We love him for it nonetheless.

Tbf there were no lie told here, that's like 95% true on how all this started.

I love how the author never misses an opportunity to remind us that our protagonist is a disturbed and obsessive individual with nothing but bad intentions for a person who technically hasn’t done anything wrong😂

Orima is clearly a true lover of the sport and wants the promoter to stop favoring strikers over grapplers. So he sees a chance to prove they can still get fans & money by having two highly skilled grapplers duke it out in the ring. Pretty clever honestly, I really like this Orima character. Partially motivated by him scarring Kenshin I suspect but hey! lol

Kenshin TECHNICALLY did no wrong! Kenshin is also a very pretentious individual though with a superiority complex and probably a hero complex as well.
