Nogi hiring a complete hack as the assassin makes more sense now, lol. Poor Yoshitake just can't catch a break

i just realised if you read what nogi actually says



don't look for hidden meanings, just take it completely at face value

the guy nogi hired is a literal janitor

Makes sense. Why would Nogi pay extra for an actual combat-trained mercenary when all he needs is someone to get bashed up by Yoshitake's lackeys? An actual literal janitor at a cut-rate fee would serve just as well for this. Nogi's a shrewd businessman - he's not going to pay more than what he needs for the purpose he has in mind.

This is hilarious, it fits perfectly if you also consider the guy an employee of Nogi who was hired in a lesser role similar to Rihito. Both were ex-fighters down on their luck who Nogi snapped up because he saw a use for them.

It really elevates Nogi as a contender for the seat.

The conversation they have when he is first introduced is amazing in context as well.

Yeah, I like how battles are waged not just in the arena, but in the shadows as well.

Even if your fighter loses, you're not truly out of the running.

hosed up that they sent the religious zealot to prison where he got killed by Bando when he was literally doing the government's work for them for free (and also killing unrelated people, but that's an acceptable sacrifice).

Chiba vs Jun might have been a fun fight with the Entertainer vs the Actor, but I don't see how Chiba would have been able to deal any sort of damage to Seki.

It's dope and I love how the author sets these parallels between fighters.

Bando can't win without killing his opponent, and Doctor Death can't be beaten without being killed.

It's a loving match made in heaven, and one of these dudes is going to hell.
