Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
I went back to reread some of the earlier chapters and dang the art style has evolved a bunch. Early Cosmo looks completely different.

Cosmo is terrified. He's not fighting a person anymore. He realizes he's fighting a loving wild animal.

If Cosmo gets a shonen power-up from the spirits of Michael Brown, Philando Castile, and Trayvon Martin, I’m ready to declare this the greatest manga of all-time, full stop.

Jun projects a small fraction of his power as the avatar of pro wrestling and Cosmo destroys the cop.

This is probably the first time Cosmo ever fought someone who 1) was not beaten as soon as he activated his zone and 2) is just a straight-up bloodthirsty lunatic.

It is nice that his Zone isn't the end-all-be-all when it comes to fights. Cosmo and Rei have some built in one hit "kill" moves so it's good that the first one has been blocked for now.

A lot of peeps have been incredibly beefed up from their first appearance.

Wakatsuki most prominently.

Jun also looks pretty different, the art emphasizes his age more.

Out of all the fights this one feels the most unfair. It doesn't feel right to pair this guy with a serial murderer. Dude just wants to have a good fight.

SMH at you all with your 'phyyric victory' and 'Cosmo's gonna lose' snark. Sure, it's not going to be a painless victory like Wakatsuki and Gensai did but have some faith in the boy. Once he's convinced that Akoya means to kill him he'll pull out his True secret technique.

And hopefully kill him.

Your belief in Cosmo should be equal or greater to how angry Adam is about this whole situation.

Hiyama - can't control murdercop, knows murdercop may go wild and kill spectators, has no contingency plan whatsoever

i think there is a reasonable chance of that since he was unexpectedly drawn into a fight where he might die

Cosmo is currently in shock. Once he remembers his master’s lesson and regains composure. I imagine Cosmo is going to pull some sick nasty hold

Alternatively: Real American Hero Adam Dudley pulls out a gun (Americans are legally required to concealed carry at all times) and shoots Akoya in the face until he is dead.

That's what he has been trying to doing, but the rear end in a top hat cop won't let him.

Adam Dudley is right, ACAB.

Well, we already knew that Hiyama and murdercop's relationship was deeply unhealthy and super hosed up from the getgo so it's not entirely surprising that she has absolutely no way to rein him in. As for Nishihonji, well, he lays it out. As nice as he is, he did willingly recruit a high schooler to fight in pseudo death matches for his personal gain, and sending a fighter into the Kengan matches is something you only do if you're willing to see that fighter get horribly killed.
