I mean, it's only natural that such ruthless business genius as Kazzy would play both sides. That way, he can't lose no matter who wins.

ever since the phone call between toyoda and kazuo a few chapters ago the battle lines have been redrawn away from purgatory vs. kengan association and toward both associations vs. secret worm society

Their rules are actually stricter than Kengan.


No knockdown in Kengan, ref calls if you can still fight or not period. If you wanna lie on the ground? fine. spend entire fight prone and I dunno leg sweeping? Allowed. Inaba Ryu and crawling like a hair spider? Kosher.

No Ringout in Kengan. It didn't happen but nothing said the fighters couldn't go into the stands and punch each other.

Yeah, Kengan matches explicitly accept the possibility of death, whereas Purgatory actively advises against it. Deaths are frowned upon, but not much more than that.

Hell, deaths weren't even really frowned on until Nogi took over. Nogi's new order explicitly put in the rule penalizing a fighter for intentionally killing their opponent.

Raian certainly wasn't holding back to avoid killing his opponents in the previous series given that he pretty much crushed Mokichi's neck, Muteba finished a match with a heart punch(which can be super fatal if he hadn't pulled it for Jun's benefit), the crazy judo dude probably would have killed whoever he fought, and Kiryu probably would have killed Kuroki if Kuroki wasn't the Master of Fundamentals.

Kengan matches also had Metsudo and maybe his predecessors encouraging competitors and sponsors to engage in skulduggery and rule-bending in order to foster Dark Elf business Darwinism, while Purgatory is about putting on the best possible fights.

Purgatory is explicitly just for entertainment from what we've seen. A far cry from the proxy war businesses engage in for Kengan matches.

To be fair, Fang of Metsudo is also explicitly the head of Metsudo's bodyguards/private army and his right hand man, so it's far more prestigious and personal position than "just" an elite Kengan Association fighter.
