Rikudou - Vol. 10 Ch. 93 - Tsubaki's OPBF

*Starts by hyping how the opponent is strong and famous "in America", so readers think it will be difficult*
*Opponent gets crushed by the Japanese "challenger"*
*Japanese readers feel good*
*???*
*Profit!*

That cut art looked really kool. But the story failed to hype me up tbh, going back and forth to the surgery and the match.

Hold up, did I miss something? America isn't part of the OPBF. It could still be his homeland, but (a) what country is he representing *now*, because it sure as fuck can't be America, (b) why would OPBF fights get streamed to America even if they feature Americans? That's not how ESPN or any network works over here.

Seems like the author just decided to throw out an "AMERICA" for no fucking reason.

@codetaku: It only says "His shows in america" so I think they mean his previous fights in other orgs not OPBF.

 

[Doomroar]

That was a nice effect, so that's why he is called the knife.

OH SHIT! HE "MIYATA'D" HIM!!

 

[FlintlockHS]

@codetaku Pedro Garcia is based on Pacquiao, the Filipino featherweight/middleweight boxer and the original Japanese for it explicitly said that his home country (unlike the real Pacquiao) and subsequentially where he's known for is America. The Philippine flags behind him say he's representing the country instead of the US in the OPBF match

So now we are going to have a weekly update of chapters ?

 

[sheep1]

@tasos We are trying to gear towards that but that can only happen once we've got redrawers on board to help out.

 

[tasos]

@sheep1 so see you in 3 months ?

 

[sheep1]

@tasos Nope, now it's 4 months lool. Why don't you learn how to redraw and give us a hand?

 

[tasos]

@sheep1 why don't you just take the raws an translate them ?

 

[sheep1]

@tasos I'm a bit taken back that's what we are doing loool but there are various processes involved whilst scanlating.

 

[tasos]

@sheep1 man I'm sorry if I seemed disrespectful, I have no clue how you do what you do , in my mind it was like you download the photos and then you just change the dialogues XD

 

[sheep1]

@tasos Nah it's totally fine lool. This is a rough process of scanlating. https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/4e5ob2/what_are_the_processes_for_translating_a_new/

@Kirin-kun
To be fair that’s just how Most Japanese sports manga works. They view explosive, titanium chinned, and large foreigners as the Goliaths to their David’s
