Baki has been in a constant acid trip since the Pickle arc and it's great.

Unless Sandrovich goes completely off base here. Gaolang is guaranteed to win and I'm surprised Carlos wasn't floored by that clean hit given how just a chapter ago they were making the point about the weight disparity

I think Carlos is holding a tragic backstory flashback just for this moment. He might win

Fisherman and Gaolang had the best friendship in the 4-komas, so glad it's canon

Caidin posted:Has he ever kicked? Is there a reason he holds back on it so hard? Gaolong definitely kicked (and kneed) in the fight vs Fang in Ashura! He's definitely still primarily a puncher. I remember when he revealed it he was like I'll show you something beyond boxing/muay thai, and everyone watching was like that's not muay thai, but I can't remember what it actually was. Or maybe they meant he just melded muay thai and boxing together in his own way?

Caidin posted:Has he ever kicked? Is there a reason he holds back on it so hard? Yeah, he uses it against Agito to control his opponent's movement and actions to setup his boxing. - e- it's explained in chapter 168.

Well then! Been meaning to re-read the beard fights, may as well go back over the whole Asura tournament while I'm at it.

It was hard to really appreciate some of those fights, since we were getting on chapter a day for like the whole back half of the series. The only fights I didn't really enjoy were Mikazuchi Rei's, his whole "I'm the fastest man alive" thing just felt like it kept more interesting characters from being able to show what they can do. His fight with Kuroki is great, though, especially the bit where Kuroki just holds out his fist and lets Rei run into it.

Rei beating Saw Paing is probably the only fight where I was really annoyed with the result and I'm glad Kuroki beat him down.

New chapters up. https://mangadex.org/chapter/906990/1 I guess we'll find out if it's a win or a tie or what next week but all the same... Carlos kinda sucks.

I can see why Nicolas Le Banner wants Kengan rules because this is weak stuff. I'm not really going to humor the story trying to make Gaolang out to be ill-fit for underground battles when he's already fought in a literal battle to the death with someone like Agito and god knows who else just in service of his king. If he doesn't get the win I'm out.il-landier posted:remember the time the clone of Miyamoto Musashi used Baki as a sword It was fun when he became a sword but still, Baki's already been a nunchuck.

Yeah it's more that the Kengan fighters are not acquainted with the ringout feature, although this might be their waking call. A real bullshit win/tie but a smart move from Medel which may lead to more pressure in the future fights.

Carlos most likely tied but look at his loving face. He looks like the guy Raian killed with the kusarigama back in Asura

That's ignoring both Carlos' derision for Gaolang and the fact that he is the former public champion who has now fully committed to fighting in underground matches in contrast to his current opponent. I could just be making a bad read but I have a feeling someone else will make a similar rebuff on gaolang in the next chapter not because he didn't pay attention for the ringout, but because his mindset never let him consider it being a public fighter and that kind of annoys me on top of Purgatory seriously being proud that they use ringouts like this

But the thing is he's not really wrong overall. Okubo and Gaolang are the two people whose fighting history has been predominantly legal. I'm just waiting to see how this fight is ruled and how the kengan side reacts. I can easily see the bookish Makasi and Nitoku saying this was something they saw happening down the line

Kind of weird that Gaolong didn't consider rules and technicalities such as the possibility of a ringout when he's a) a a famous public fighter and b) he won his match against Saw Paing when he was a teenager through judges ruling in his favor

Gonna call it now: Gaolang broke their fall with his arm, so he touched the outside of the ring first; Carlos wins on ring-out.

They called it a double ringout, I think it'll just get chalked up as a tie. Since it's not a tournament, they can just have ties. I don't mind this outcome too much, Gaolang was clearly dominating but Carlos got to take advantage of the rules he's more familiar with. Plus, this way we start off without either side being ahead on the score.

I do find it absolutely goddamn hilarious that the leadup to this conclusion was "This is Purgatory! Carlos will show them the true expertise of a Purgatory fighter!" *Carlos proceeds to get the entire front of his skull caved in like someone smashed him with a sledgehammer, but achieves a double ring out* "Woo, Carlos! Purgatory! Yeah!"
