I want to believe that the chairman made the sub rule for this fight only. Just so Jun could pull this off.

Gandai's amazing too for going along with Jun's whims.

Yeah there's this nice moment after Jun vs Ouma where Gandai tells Jun that he'll have Jun be representing his company and Jun goes "You sure that's okay when I just lost?" and Gandai's like "You're the strongest fighter I know."

I love healthy fighter/CEO relationships.

Luckily it turns out "take attacks head on" doesn't mean "take attacks with your eyeballs."

Speaking of, wasn't the rule that you can use weapons if you can manage to sneak them past the ref? I'm expecting Muteba's new eyes to be tiny grenades or something.

It's a de facto rule that if you sneak something past the pre-match search, once the match starts the Association turns a blind eye to it because admitting you got something past them would make them lose face.

Even if he didn't, there is no way any other substitute can compare to this. I laughed out loud at the announcement

Given that Gandai has used its only official substitution on switching Jun to Seki, is there a kayfabe-preserving way to switch back to Jun in subsequent rounds?

It goes mentioning that once they made it to the island. Muteba has been balls deep in someone every waking moment with the exception of his first fight and now.

Yeah I just love all this little stuff, where you get insight into characters.

Like Ren being surprisingly personable, if somewhat of a braggart.

Or Julius being very polite in public settings when outside the ring.

It's just hilarious that they get that badass scene and none of them except Julius even won a single fight on-page (except in flashbacks).

Seki appeared to have control for most of the match. Though Muteba looks to be switching fighting styles

Actually, the stage gets repaired between rounds and not matches right? I wonder if that’ll come into play at some point

lol i forgot adam dudley rose uip from the ground by digging his toes in and lifting himself that way. wonder if he'll be cosmo's replacement because I can't really see who else it would be and he's taken hardly any damage

wonder who's going to have taught Ohma the advance. Its not Niko and seems unlikely to be the guy who killed Niko. Assuming this series is purely the tournament I guess that could be the hook for a sequel since it seems unlikely its a fighter in the tournament

It'll turn out it's Baki, setting up a crossover sequel.
