Ah, so every other character in the series is actually way shorter then I thought.
Visual height is scaled with fighting power, like many fighting manga

This is gonna be a good one, no cheap bullshit, no dumb gimmicks, just two fighters who are apparently about 10 feet tall slugging the absolute poo poo out of each other as god intended. I'm glad that Koga is joining up with the main kengan association peanut gallery as well, I missed him.

Just two huge dudes punchin' it out, this is the real poo poo.

No but for real, I love the art in this chapter. Even better than the Wakatsuki/Julius fight from Asura, IMO. The use of perspective really makes those blows feel powerful.

This fight owns because so far each punch hasnt been that lame blur poo poo

you said "drop kick" fyi
Is it relevant that Julius' left hand is no longer grabbing Mudo's arm at the end? It seems to me that holding onto the guy to keep him still would be more advantageous?

Also, Koga showing up just means he's gonna sub for someone, right.

much as i would like Koga to sub in he's going to be involved in whatever comes after this tournament which isn't the focus of KO

Koga would get owned if he subbed in; he's not on the same level as the other fighters yet.

Is it a knockout tournament or best out of x? He might be able to handle an injured purgatory fighter.

nah not even close

Koga is da boy but its gonna be waaaaay later when we get to see him perform

Koga has moved from the regular seats to up with the fighters. Also notice he didn't evem blink an eye at Ohma. Went right to Ryuki and said "You better win".

That spinning backhand counter was absolutely loving sick. I still like Julius for this fight though.

I believe in the economic staying power of Juliuscoin.

Also a dude knowing to redirect momentum and how best to go limp doesn't mean they're ripping off your weird bullshit style Ohma.

I can't help but notice that the most powerful muscle on Julius is clearly his glutius maximus.

i'm okay with julius losing this mirror match. his entire schtick was roiding out so much that martial arts became irrelevant, like getting in a fist fight with a bus. so, it would stand to reason that a person with similar size and strength who actually knows how to fight would be more than julius' match.

it's fine if the kengan boys lose if their loss isn't complete bullshit.

None of Toa's attacks harmed Julius, it was only when he redirected his attack that he got hurt.

Therefore only Julius can harm Julius and once he figures this out, he can start winning.

Not only has Julius not revealed how he's gotten stronger but he's also never had a fight where he didn't come across as very smart and analytical so I'd be surprised to not see it here too. He hasn't even had a badass moment yet.

Mudo might have Karate on his side but Julius has mastered the Hit Deathblow.

I'm cheering on Julius to use his knowledge of the human body to dismantle Mudo bit by bit.

It's not a technique, it's just applying biological knowledge.

Actually Julius is going to win because ADVANCED MODERN DAY SCIENCE is going to defeat THE BLOOD OF LEGENDS

I will also accept FRIENDSHIP as the key to victory

I'm trying to think of how Julius could win without having to use techniques and the best I can think of is that he'll have to switch things up and stop trying to overpower Mudo and that will lead him to victory. He's got to find a way around Mudo's redirections and muscle softening, grappling is one option but Mudo is technically bigger than Julius so it could easily backfire. Maybe Julius can opt for using feints and follow them up with a real punches to get Mudo to miss the timing of his martial arts.

I think in true pure strength fashion, Julius will just pull a Hanayama squeeze or a bear hug.
