was there a time when speedwagon didn't get trolled
It's kind of funny to me that Julius's entire gimmick was being a giant man-mountain juiced up on every possible piece of human science to make himself bigger and stronger and Purgatory just happens to have a guy who is even bigger and more muscly completely naturally I guess.

I think it's a testament to how unpredictable the series is that I'm even worried about it. If this exact situation happened to Biscuit Oliva I would be 100% sure he'd win with pure power somehow.

To be fair what Oliva did to the pocket guy in the Raitai Tournament ruled.

Toa made a callback to Raoh, he's destined to lose now. On top of him joining the likes of Koizan and Raian who are figures that disrespect their lineage in favor of propping themselves up. Julius has this in the bag

I think he just punched really hard, but even if it is a blast core-like, is that really a technique?

well it looks like he moved his fists into position and then did whatever he did which is a lot more blast core-esque

Julius just figured out where you can't twist your body to minimize damage with his indepth knowledge of human anatomy. Incidentally, this is NOT a technique.

Julius played MegaMan and questioned the idea of needing a gun to charge and fire at enemies.

Why not simply charge energy into your body and pun- *lightbulb turns on over his head*

It would be bomb if it was Julius just calculating the exact point that Mudo can't twist away the damage and punching.

I see that, he got a flash and chose that exact moment to attack. But this is starting to sound suspiciously like a technique

Does strategically flexing count as technique? Because he pulled that kind of stuff against Sawada so I don't think it counts against his philosophy. Heck, I don't even think him hypothetically copying blast core counts as using a technique since Blast core itself is just contracting and explosively expanding muscles. Now if he applied torque as per a karate punch that'd be a technique and Julius would die a hypocrite.

Im gonna say countering isnt a technique, youre just applying your overwhelming force at an opportune moment. Its the opponents fault for leaving an opening in front of the Hulk



Edit: That being said, sitting around and doing NOTHING until your opportune moment comes certainly sounds like a technique, and Julius was just getting beat to hell until he attacked.

the question is whether blast core really counts as a technique when, assuming thats what julius did, its only possible because of his insane muscle power. he's just using his muscles after all and technically a punch is a technique

Julius would never do a "technique", those are for the weak that try to surpass the strong.

He just knows how to throw a punch :colbert:

Lotta people conflating strategy with technique itt.

Of course you have to be punching in a way to injure whoever you're fighting, you can't win a fight by punching in entirely the wrong direction the entire match.
