I also love the reaction shots of everyone watching the final moment of the fight. He's made the most friends, and they were rooting for him.

Especially his best friend, murdercop.

New Ohma is a lot more fun to watch than the old one. That was a great fight all around

I like that the ultimate water technique is just "if you can't strangle them with your limbs, use theirs instead"

The problem with relying on being able to predict all of your opponent's moves is when they do something you didn't predict.

i don't really like ohma that much compared to the other fighters. the others reach an epiphany, analyze their opponent, enact a plan, try a new move they came up with, etc. ohma just pulls out another move niko taught him.

I'd be down for that. Cosmo has been pretty cool so far

I am having a hard time seeing Ohma lose at this point. His limiter is now gone and he seems fairly serene. Classic shonen protag is about to school someone pose

I'm guessing Cosmo learns that prediction technique with him getting off zone as a cliff hanger. Then it cuts to showing what the Niko secret technique is and how Ohma is fine

I was pretty close with my guess. Though it was an ultimate technique and not the secret technique womp wom

Ohma is only capable of doing this stuff now because he reached an epiphany, he just had the good sense to do it before somebody was killing him in real time.

Ohma digging deep and focusing on his martial arts training to win matches instead of going berserker super mode at the drop of a hat is just as much of a development as Cosmo beating Akoya because he decided to start fighting dirty because he didn't want to die.

Julius was only working for Toyo in order to maximize his muscle growth potential. Now betrayed he has no animosity towards the others.

All the Niko Style Ultimate Techniques seem to be about providing an alternative solution when you are crippled in one way or another.

Water Kata Ultimate Technique - Are your arms too mangled to strangle your opponent? Use your opponent's own arms to strangle him!

Adamantine Kata Ultimate Technique - Are your bones and joints fractured or dislocated? Move them with your muscles!

Looking forward to seeing the Flame Kata and Redirection Kata Ultimate Techniques too. :allears:

Well, when you put it that way it's like this martial arts style was built for cancer patients or something.

Redirection Kata Ultimate Technique - Are you taking too many hits? Blame a bystander so your opponent redirects their attacks!

Also the only fighter to hold an actual grudge instead of a desire for a rematch is probably Sawada against Julius, given how Julius was complicit in the blackmail of his employer.

The omakes were very powerful although they sullied my boy Imaicosmo's innocence.

I forget, did the series explain what each of the 4 styles are? I think the water one is grappling and holds, but otherwise I don't really know.
