tweet my meat posted:I honestly think Robinson might take it, leaving the kures to take a more behind the scenes role for the tournament. The kure clan seems important to the story, but none of the important ones seem to be on the bracket. This guy doesn't seem to have much to him other than "is really crazy and obnoxious" I'm worried that his skillset of grappling and jointlocks is gonna overlap too much with the gambling tournament-crasher who stole a spot on the boat, but otherwise I am too hoping for his win. I am anxious to see the ways an insanely overprotective priest fellow is gonna let loose.

I hope the priest wins because there are already enough Kures running around and Raian seems like the most boring one. Also I really like the name Mokichi Robinson.

He's not really pinching people so much as scraping their skin/flesh off because his fingers are so strong they can be kept firmly in the same position no matter how much force he applies to them. I feel like he would be well suited to some sort of grappling martial art, like Robinson in this chapter. There's no way Rihito would lose to anyone with the "hand-wrestling" thing that happened this chapter.

Is it possible Robinson was partially inspired by Mozgus from Berserk? Both are super calm, tranquil priest characters, who suddenly have episodes of explosive rage.

The name of Mokichi's martial art style (Baritsu) is based on a fictional martial arts in Sherlock Holmes, but the description of Mokichi's fighting style and his ancestor's backstory is based on a real fighting style (Bartitsu) that Sherlock Holmes' Baritsu is also based on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baritsu posted:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartitsu posted:
Mokichi's ancestor is a Japanese samurai versed in Japanese martial arts, who went to England and picked up Western combat arts. The founder of Bartitsu is an Englishman who went to Japan for three years and picked up Japanese jujitsu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartitsu posted:

Jfc, his using bartitsu is just ...  Also, from what I know bartitsu is heavily cane-focused, since all respectable men carried canes back then. Rodenthar Drothman fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Mar 2, 2017 |

I think there's a pattern where the fighter who gets a flashback first will lose. That baritsu bit was technically a flashback, so Robinson is most likely out.

Yeah, he who shows his superpower first generally loses. Kinda wish they would mix it up a bit more than they have to make things a little more unpredictable, maybe this will be the fake out and Robinson takes it. He's a much more interesting fighter, but that never stopped buff justice cop from winning.

The assassin blood flow technique or whatever REMOVAL turns out to be is gonna be countered by the deep-seeded sis-con of Mokichi.

but really, "deranged martial arts eugenics program that lasted for centuries combined with constant research and refinement of fighting techniques" vs. "one of his ancestors was like, really badass"? that sure is a battle between bloodlines. how suspenseful!

Hypocrisy posted:Don't worry. I'm sure Kure guy will say something about his sister and give Sherlock the power to fight for another chapter. Yeah...we haven't really seen Mokichi's "come back from a point when it seems like he's losing" reveal yet, so I think he still has a chance of winning (though I still think Raian is much more likely to win).
