Sekai ni Hitori, Zenzokusei Mahou no Tsukaite - Ch. 42

[Luoir]

I looked at the raws before this and it was good and the translations are even better lmao

The tf was out of left field but it still kinda fit the story(tl liberty)

Thanks, I have a very lovely PR

"Let's give it our all!"
"Right, we agreed to that. I'll show you the power of my spirit."
"Oh, well instead of going all out against it I'm gonna purposefully nerf myself against you rather than showing you my full strength."

I guess you could make a point that he's still using his "full strength" to fight her with a weak element here, but that feels kinda like calling it "full strength" when a master swordsman defeats someone with a stick or something. Not really full power, just showing off.

Kyle finally showing all his cards. Nice

So he's just gone totally mask off now.

So he's just gone totally mask off now.

He was told to do so. (Chapter 34, pages 22-23)

Kyle is unfair.
He's pushing his opponent to go all out while he's still holding back by purposefully using a disadvantageous element.

Edit: Also, how is fire "disadvantageous" to begin with?
They work on the same concept (temperature) in reverse direction (hot/cold) like light and dark in the previous match.
Shouldn't they be balanced, where the one with more raw power wins in a direct confrontation?

Cold alone does not make ice, you need water as well, which is why fire loses to it. Pokemon logic places ice at a disadvantage because fire melts ice, but ice magic can only really exist as a variant of water magic and can easily just refreeze the melted ice.

Everyone: 5 attributes?!?!

Kyle finally showing all his cards.

time to flex

"Finally! Someone that's able to put up a little bit of resistance at least!" - Kyle probably
Time to flex and dab on all of them 😎

It's weird that fire is weak against ice.

Wdym the peak of swordmanship is defeating your enemy with no sword. Dugu Qiubai taught so /s

It's weird that fire is weak against ice.

It takes more energy (read: fire) to melt ice, especially that many, than you think. Thermodynamics and all :/

Behold, strongest student in history vs strongest student of today :3

But in Pokemon fire is strong against ice.
