I like how this is clearly the move he used against that fanatic in prison to win in a split second but he didn't even feel like it was necessary for Hanafusa. Basically got himself killed with that idea but still.

It's good to not show off every single move you've got in the first round, if you can help it.

i hope bando gets out of this okay, so he can go back to murdering yakuza and cops.

i didn't realise bando was a cop killer, he's now my new favourite to win

not because of the cop killing, i just think his disjointed slam attack is really cool

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
I wonder if Nogi and Hatsumi researched all the fighters that much, or if they intentionally picked Bando to fight against

Also clever of Sen to use one of his flashbacks to reveal some of Bando’s backstory, he really is a first-rate fighter

Well the deal is that if Hanafusa wasn't able to kill Bando, Sen is supposed to do it himself. But if Hanafusa succeeds, they either got a free win, or the sub rule would be invoked and they wouldn't have to deal with Bando.

Tell me more about the caveman that hunted dinosaurs, and the resurrected Japanese swordsman. Also about the power of the imagination.

I really like the idea that some fighters are scared of death/pain. We saw it with Imai, and we're seeing it again with Sen (or at least, that's what Bando is thinking). Gives the characters range and differentiates them, especially from other action manga I feel.

This fight rules. It's completely ridiculous, but it's a nice change of pace. Hatsumi's fighting style is really fun.

All the referees being actual unique characters also rules, I hope they get their own side chapter.

I think what it is; is that it feels like the manga's world is actually fleshed out. Instead characters that solely exist for the main protagonist to interact with and disappear into hammerspace when not needed

i've always been more tolerant of tournament arcs than other people, but kengan asura's is particularly good because it's not holding back on any of the fights, even when the participants aren't that relevant to the story

Katsumi imagines 10,000 joints, Bando just dislocates the arm and throws it around. The silly 'imagine liquid and slap them' technique one of the convict jobbers used is closer.

Not a fan of the 'lazy, irresponsible rascal with undeniable talent' archetype, but I gotta admit Hatsumi's growing on me.

Probably due to the faces he pulls, they are pretty quality.

There's also the fact that he has a mixed record of victories and isn't reliable on effortless winning.

No one has stopped an earthquake with their fist yet in this series so anyone claiming that it's less grounded than Baki is full of poo poo

There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
people already do weirder poo poo than baki. for example the guy who teleports and twisty his handsy

...while a doctor could theoretically fix their own optical nerve through their body somehow.

I don't think they've explained it yet, but in case they did and I missed it; what does Hatsumi mean when he realizes that Bando couldn't perform his arm whip in the first round?

I don't think they've explained it yet. My guess is maybe the same med team that cured Bando gave him a sedative or something so he could do his crazy whip moves without doubling over in severe pain

haha jesus.

So why did Bando not use crazy rear end limb extension? It probably has something to do with the massive inflammation/damage the technique causes to his shoulders. Maybe Pharma CEO gave him some drugs to help/healed him.

Also Muteba is wrong, Sen is no amateur. Bando is just insane, he moved his eye ball out of the way and Sen hit the bone resulting in the throbbing hands. Or Bando clenched his eyelids so hard he broke a few fingers :deathwink: style.

fakedit: I thought there was one piece Ivankov deathpink smilies?
