I keep forgetting that Saw and Gaolang are supposed to have had a longstanding "rivalry" and Gaolang is 28. I had Saw pegged for being 19 or so myself for some reason.

Wait he is also OLDER then Gaolang? :psyduck:

I was really expecting everyone aside from Ohma, Cosmo, Rei and Setsuna to be in at least their 28-29 late twenties or their thirties.

Rei looks completely exhausted because his style isn't supposed to be used for fights

Inaba also looks fairly young. Dunno what his actual age is, though. Same age as Cosmo's employer and his own employer is all I recall.

I want to make a translation note at the end, because while that is Muteba's hobby, it's a very culturally linked one the translators didn't get quie right. He's more specifically is a Les Sapeur, which is specfically Congo fashion movement

Implying that only does Muteba fight using his senses of smell and taste, he's also able to choose and coordinate clothes, and cultivated a taste for fashion, using smell and taste. :allears:

Mikazuchi just used Aoshi Shinomori's ryusui no ugoki, basically. In Kenshin its weakness was the moment where he switches to attack but no idea if that's gonna be a thing here. Gaolang seems to think he has some sort of weakness, though it might just be stamina or something because he usually takes everyone out in one hit.

I think it might be that Rei's not hitting with deadly force as someone already postulated in this thread, because of the implication of his new style not being a killing art and Saw Paing so far not wilting to anything besides a blow designated to decapitate one ton tuna fish (and even then he got back into the game due to brain trauma applied fast enough after the initial blow)

On a similar note, I wonder if lightning punching adamantium skeleton Saw Paing isn't causing a lot more damage to Rei than he is used to.

Captain Ahab broke a couple fingers going for an uppercut. I can imagine that just hitting Saw with any real force has a similar effect to Seki's offensive guard.

Gaolong says he has the advantage, I think he is right. Sawpaing is someone you have to do lethal force to if you want a quick end to the fight. Nonlethal blows are not going to end him fast enough and rei won't kill anymore. I bet his style like removal or advance has a limited time frame because of its stress on the body.


Admittedly Julius or Wata would probably be able to break his bones with sheer overwhelming force but otherwise you need to really kill him... Muteba could do it with his heart punch.


I think you guys might be forgetting how much Rei hosed up that one assassin guy who attacked him earlier in the series (because his most recent fight was the simple one-shot against Mockey).

The surprising thing is that Raian is one of the younger characters (I think he's a teenager, maybe even high school aged).

Raian is 21. Cosmo is the youngest at 19.

EDIT: Fishing grandpa and Bando are tied for oldest(in the tournament) at 51.
