Storywise, I don't see the point of this battle yet.
Sure, the developers sending their own brute at this timing is completely logical. But after the big setup with the korean bodyguard, it feels obvious that Kyara won't lose to anyone before encountering him again. There's no real suspense, here. (and seriously, if Kyara loses before finishing his business with the korean glasses-guy, I'll be salty)

I'd say there's still suspense, because Kyara could win while being rendered unable to fight for a week or two, at which point Baku and Lalo could in fact be considered to be on an even playing field again within the Ban match.

Far as the story goes, it does seem a bit weird that the developers are going after Baku instead of Lalo, since Lalo won even more than Baku. Though I suppose Baku made himself a more obvious target with the "rigged" Untouchable lines two days in a row.

Yeah, true. Overall though, I think it's less about the actual fight and more about emphasizing what the developers' mindsets are, and what they're capable of doing (or what they have in their arsenal).

Not to mention, Kyara's fight with Robert was a pretty short, so giving him more panel time/action is always welcome in my opinion.

I think the developers are after Baku because Lalo manage to take his bios and escape before the developer were notified of his & Baku's winnings. Baku weren't so lucky since the developers know about his winnings before he can escape with his bios. So they decided to deal with Baku first as they know that Baku is definitely still in the colosseum and they try to find Lalo next time.

I wonder if Baku plan for this to happen? After all, Lalo realised that Baku's plan was to take care of the strong hunters and bet on the weak ones, it safe to assume that Baku would also figure out that Lalo are doing the same. Baku might have bet that Lalo will get all the bios from the colosseum and there won't be any left for himself. Then like someone comment in the previous chapter, he can blackmail the owner into getting the colosseum since Baku's strength is literally in the negatives.

Maybe that's also why he stay in the colosseum for so long after rigging it? To get the developers attention?

The hips, the hair, the flashy dress.

I admit he reminded me of some stock JoJo character.

Plus Baku set himself up to be in a position where he has to go through with this match due to his existing slaves, whereas Robert K. has lost and been exiled so Lalo isn't tied down by his being a slave. I think it's a good guess to say that Baku expected something like this to occur in the Colosseum. It was probably the point of him wanting to at least come out of this round with +300k Bios.

I commented on it before, but since Baku's goal appears to be maxing out everyone in his group to High Class, he definitely needs that 900k Bios overall, and I imagine developers can ultimately create that Bios if needed. I do think the fact that Perpes embezzled the 1M Bios means that Baku can basically get his Bios back, as well as blackmail Perpes to abuse the Colosseum standard fights.

@Veshv Well, I think you're right. The whole point of this fight might be to weaken Kyara, in order to create more tension at a later stage.

As long as it doesn't end up as Kyara struggling against Jonglyo JUST because he's injured and exhausted - implying that Jonglyo would have been a piece of cake if the prior battles hadn't take place - it's fine by me.

I hope their fight is on equal footing too, it's basically been in the works ever since the Labyrinth, for it to be downplayed for anything would be tragic.

My boy Kyatto ain't gonna lose or get maimed by some no name JoJo character. No way!
Although these flashbacks are getting really ominous going by shonen standards.

Matadors are so damn lame, Kyara deserves better than a glorified man on a spandex.
