It still is annoying watching a movie with someone who counts all the rounds fired by a gun and points out how many times someone should have reloaded. Not every movie can be directed by Michael Mann.

I'm enjoying Kanoagito's character arc. Shame Sen had to be lying in the middle of the rails when this train came barreling through.

Well then

Fang Vs. Gensai will be good



Ohma is going to win over wakatsuki for sure for plot


But Fang vs Gensai is up in there air, I can't really make a guess as the winner

yeah.

gensai and agito both have history with Niko so either are possible. I think it'd be really cool for both Nogi and Metsudo to lose before the final though

:stare: wow that was traumatic.

Still wondering what the deal is with Aigto's "We/Us" gimmick. Is he actually referring to all Fangs collectively when he talks? As if they are one unit working together. Or does he really have multiple sides to his insanity.

I assumed he's referring to himself in a super prideful/noble/royal way in Japanese and the translator gave him the royal we to convey that, but I could be wrong.

He's using different forms of "I" in japanese. (Watashi, Ore, Boku) however, it's not something the translators could easily convey in english so they used "we" as the substitute.

They should've went with "THE FANG IS GONNA LAY THE SMACKDOWN ON EVERYONE'S CANDY-ASSES!"

Suppose it's fair to say that he's making a distinction between Kanoh Agito, human being, and The Fang of Metsudo, avatar of corporate violence, then?

So are we all at the point where most every other fighter is more interesting than Ohma?

I mean yeah he's going to be the new Fang under Kazzy but bleh

OR MAYBE THATS HOW FANGS ARE! REALLY GOOD FIGHTERS BUT pretty meh when it comes to characterization

I mean I'll put chill Ohma above Waka at this point but frankly yeah let's just cut to Fang vs The Best Karate.

I think that's fair? One of the forms of "I" he uses is for kids, but the other is the adult form. So there is a distinction being made, I'm just waiting for the translation to catch up to a story point so I can confirm my own assumption for why he does this.

I don't see Ohma surviving the tournament, honestly. I'm really expecting a "one last good fight and now it's time to die" thing.

The One True Oden

Wakatsuki is a little endearing for his relationship with his CEO, but otherwise he's still just a boring strong man. Just because he's less boring than Julius doesn't mean he's especially interesting.

Julius's politeness outside of combat (as shown in the Agnostic Front omake), his insistence on wearing thongs all day every day, his membership in the Foreign Fighters Association and his role as pitchman for the Danberu gym, all make him more interesting than Waka.

Julius is a million times more interesting than Wakatsuki because Julius is initially presented as the Big Strong Idiot Muscle being used as the pawn of the Super Evil Guy and it turns out he's a soft spoken polite smart guy who is genuinely interested in other cultures.

Wakatsuki is a naturally super strong guy who wants to win a fight because vengeance.

To be fair, a lot of what makes Julius interesting comes from side chapters and not in the mainline chapters.

Outside of the mainline chapters, he's just arrogant, big, smarter than he looks, and used a loving dude to smack another dude while enraged.

Granted, that last one is pretty good.

After seeing how destructive fighters like Kiozan, Julius and Wakatsuki are I'm kinda having trouble believing that getting hit once by the Fang is liable to break your arm like how they keep portraying it lately. Okubo took his lumps in stride so that didn't help either.
