Me last chapter: oh, strong jaw, man bun, focused on the sword, dude is probably a 'genius of hard work' type
Me now: fucking christ dude is crazy

Bro could have been a revolutionary anatomist but became a psychopath instead 💀

Man was betrayed by the gods and now wants to surpass them.

And the opponent he's facing is a literal monk.

Religious Themes are probably gonna play a part in this fight.

While jinsuke's skills are not as over the top as some others I'm really liking the more choreography focused nature of this fight compared to the more high concept focused previous fight.

 

[Dramsss]

Yes, it makes sense for the anatomist to have a minimalist fight where each movement is shown in great detail (or hinted at when it's weird like that deflection)

The idea is to show efficiency, though there seems to be more than that in this last strike.

Also there have been religious themes in every round since the Kami-Choko fight (sligthly less in round 5 but still there). I think this manga is turning what first appeared as a random powerup in a reflexion on humans and gods.

Everyone was sure the Celestial Gates or other divine buff would be necessary for fighters to win moving forward, but Kojiro and Togo lost against very human characters. This current fight will inform us more on what the author plans to do with the gods.

For now we know they exist and have agency
