Isn't surviving a fight to the death winning a fight to the death, by definition? You either win or you die.

The way it is written it looks less like a goal, and more like an example of what it would be useful for.

Oh. Yes it is.

I should get more sleep seeing as I'm having trouble interpreting dialogue from a translated fightman comic

Looks like at least some of Koga's problems are maybe not psychological as much as they are strategic. It makes sense, given that he's from a regular rear end sports/street punk background that he wouldn't quite have a grasp on the secret sauce of nigh-superhuman level combat tactics.

It'll also make the moment when he figures out how to use his latent Kengan powers an even more dramatic a power up

I'm glad that this confirms that Jerry is to return. Also 160 days definitely is enough time for Koga to become strong enough to get a spot on the tournament.

He'll only get strong in 160 days if Adam Dudley trains him.

Okubo was one of my favorite characters in Asura so I hope he gets to do some cool stuff without getting punked by the endboss this time

I feel like Okubo was at least mid-tier for the tournament, though he's pretty clearly below Gaolong (and probably other high tier people like Wakatsuki). He probably could have beaten people like hair assassin, and I like to think he could beat police dude and early-mid tournament Cosmo.

One of the stronger fighters I think he would have actually stood a good chance against is Muteba, though that's mostly a subjective judgement on my part.

all he needs to do is beat one other guy. okubo's still probably gonna get chumped, though. some dudes on the kengan side have to be, to demonstrate how strong the other side is.

I have a feeling the big shocker is going to be some Wu clan person utterly destroying a Kure.

Raian lost to Ohma early on but he specifically avoided using Kure techniques and Ohma still came out looking like hamburger. Him or someone supposed to be even tougher getting completely one-sidedly shithoused would be a moment.

Okubo being an actual MMA fighter would probably do well against wakatsuki because he was bad against grapplers

don't need to be good against grapplers when you can just grasp an arm that's got you in an otherwise completely solid hold and squeeze it in half

I like Koga a lot as an underdog figure. He's aggressive, but in a way that doesn't quite cross the line into being a dumb rear end in a top hat and where he is able to understand his own weakness and appreciate when others are correct.
