Kinda feeling sorry for the girl who got destroyed by Sanae, that's probably not going to heal for a while.

zerosix posted:oh god that face on the last pannel. Yeah, it also kinda makes Natsuo more sympathetic in a weird twisted way. When she goes out to ruin people's hopes and dreams she's honest about it instead of it being just a side effect of being too awesome.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:I feel the difference between Natsuo and Yuzuko is that Natsuo can tell that she is crushing peoples hopes and dreams when she beats them, granted she's a bit of a sadist because she enjoys doing so when it's someone who rubs her the wrong way, but at least she is aware of what she is doing. Yuzuko has so little regard for her opponents that she can't even see what she is doing to them and that lack of care and empathy in Yuzuko makes her feel almost inhuman. With Yuzuko saying "That was fun! Lets do it again some time! It's probably rooting for the one who feels human. Natsuo is an rear end in a top hat and probably sadistic too, but you can kinda deal with that with a small "Wow, rear end in a top hat." Everyone knows a few assholes, a lot are probably friends with them, but a preppy MMA Terminator is a lot harder to get behind because there's an almost uncanny valley effect there with the disconect between personality and straight dominance. quote:Well, it is a sport, and people enter the matches willingly, so "crushing" is a pretty strong verb to use, especially since Yuzuko finished her last fight with a submission hold and everyone remarked that the were evenly matched. It's probably easier to come back from a bad loss if the winners were outright assholes about it, in a "next time you fucker" way, getting motivation, there's nothing really you can get from losing quickly to a friendly opponent if you had your heart set on victory. It's a major setback and you can't even use anger for motivation because they were nice to you, making you feel like the rear end in a top hat for being mad at them.

" after crushing someone who thought they stood a chance against her it's no wonder that she can come off as cruel and ignorant.

RyuujinBlueZ posted:What I find kind of weird is that it seems to me like Yuzuko and Ringi are backwards. Yuzuko feels to me like she fights because it's all she really knows, and the concept of not fighting is foreign to her. It isn't even strictly about fun (though she does enjoy it) as a matter of it being her life in a way that it isn't for other fighters. That seems like it would fit what little we know about Ringi (that her father's basically raised her on MMA), but as I recall Ringi overall seems relatively more balanced as a person while Yuzuko seems to almost completely lack any theory of mind whatsoever. Maybe it's because Ringi is the daughter and not the apprentice. She probably already knows all sides of MMA as a business and a sport so she's probably got a more balanced idea of what it means to be an MMA fighter. I'm just glad there's actual discussion in between chapters...

Looks like the next chapters are going to be shorter, but after this adrenaline rollercoaster of a fight I think a bit of a cooldown is needed.

coathat posted:I don't know why y'all are so depressed that was a hilarious dream. Both hilarious and saddening. Natsuo is pretty much completely hosed in the head, and MMA is not known for helping people get through mental issues as it is using them to pummel other people.
