Props to Hatsumi for managing to interact with Shion for a moment and not piss her off.

And I'm so glad that Mihono's been doing well in gambling so far. I hope that she keeps doing well and doesn't blow it all betting on the wrong guy at the end.

I forgot that the semifinals are happening on the same day, that's nuts.

I thought it was strange that the quarterfinal matches weren't as... bloody as the previous ones, but now it makes sense.

The final is also happening on the same day meaning ohmas last fight should really make him too tired to fight again

So...

Cosmo has "Imperfect Foresight".

Gensai has "Motionless", which is kind of like "Foresight".

Kanoh has "Pre-Initiative", which is also kind of like "Foresight".

Starting to think that Kaneda's gimmick is that everyone steals his gimmick.

Kaneda is meant to be a mostly average dude who was smart enough to figure out how to win fights against guys way more skilled and physically fit than him. It makes sense that true prodigies or masters in the field would be able to pull the same trick. It would be kind of silly to have an unbeatable master fighter like Fang or Gensai who didn't grasp the idea that predicting what your opponent is going to do before they do it is a pretty good way to win a fight.

Something I like about this comic is that it is such concentrated martial arts battle manga bullshit that it almost feels kind of academic in how it demonstrates stuff.

That being said, I have to say, I definitely prefer more out of left field abilities like Doc's body mods and Muteba's Daredevil senses to increasingly granular methods for counters. Realism was kind of thrown out from the moment we had a berserker mode for Ohma, so the more conservative special abilities feel kind of like being lazy in the name of some faulty sense of realism. Either that, or it's all just setup for one big "BUT WHAT IF THE ULTIMATE ABILITY IS BEING TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE?" bullshit, which would also be boring. That was entertaining to me approximately once, in a Deadpool comic from 1997

I'm not saying I necessarily want full bore fighting game insanity but like... okay maybe I want that, but for a slightly less crazy fighting game? Like maybe Soul Edge levels, there were no beams in that and only one 100% supernatural entity

This page was great. Just serious mode and showing him as a real person and not a dragonBallesque over-reacting emotions character was shocking and awesome.

I think the only way Niko died to setsunas master is ohma used the advance against setsuna which distracted Niko

There are a lot of bullshit techniques in this series but I think the rakshasa palm is the most ridiculous

I'm assuming that Ohma is going to loving destroy Kiryu in a very one-sided way to sell exactly how much he's improved and exactly how much Kiryu has degenerated.

As it turns out. The 'true rakshasha's palm' wasn't meant for Gensai, but the plot itself.

Because Koyo Academy's fighter caused the situation, they'll have to step up and offer a fighter as a replacement. That's right baby, it's the Wild Tiger vs. the Intelligent Barbarian in the semifinals.
