Old Man Fisher-Dude's match is Round 9 - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Kengan-Ashua/Vol-006-Ch-042?id=332964#18 We are still at Round 2, and it seems to take about 2 to 3 chapters to go through each round. It's gonna take a while to get to Fishing Grandpa's match. EDIT: And that's assuming we don't get a sudden interruption to the entire tournament ala Naruto's chunnin exam's final tournament and Orochimaru's invasion.

Yup. Her sister is the rich girl with a muscle fetish in Danberu. Also: (a) One of the main recurring characters is another girl whose family runs a boxing gym. Gao Lang (the Thai "God of War") trains in that gym - see the bottom panel on this page. (b) The Intelligent Barbarian (the buff prof whom CEO Soryuin used to conduct a battle royale to find a new fighter for the tournament) wrote a book on bodybuilding which the Danberu girls consult in one chapter.

jon joe posted:I can't wait for the inevitable "Fighter can't fight so the corporate head steps in" fight. I don't care which CEO it is, as long as they pull out some bullshit. Grandpa Kure used to be the fighter for Katahara Metsudo, and Magatani Juzo (one of the CEOs, featured on this page) is an ex-fighter too, so there's a non-remote possibility of at least one CEO or relative fighting.

Buzzsaw Roomba posted:This is correct. One of the best things about Kengan Asura is that defeated opponents usually come back instead of disappearing forever like most manga. Makes it feel like the world doesn't just revolve around the protagonist. Yeah, this series is really good about giving defeated opponents another chance to appear. Rihito - Previously beaten by Ohma, now awaiting his match in the tournament and also CEO of his own Kengan company. Medicine Man - Previously beaten by Ohma, now an infiltrator on the Kengan tournament island. Sekibayashi - Previously beaten by Ohma, now awaiting his match in the tournament. Jerry Tyson - Previously beaten by Ohma, now a play-by-play commentator in the tournament. Hassad - Previously beaten by Himuro - Previously beaten by Kaneda, now chilling out with Kaneda and Okubo while they await their matches.

Jedah posted:I was sold on Robinson being inspired by Mokichi Okada, but the backstory we got in this chapter was pretty cool, too. The name of Mokichi's martial art style (Baritsu) is based on a fictional martial arts in Sherlock Holmes, but the description of Mokichi's fighting style and his ancestor's backstory is based on a real fighting style (Bartitsu) that Sherlock Holmes' Baritsu is also based on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baritsu posted:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartitsu posted:
Mokichi's ancestor is a Japanese samurai versed in Japanese martial arts, who went to England and picked up Western combat arts. The founder of Bartitsu is an Englishman who went to Japan for three years and picked up Japanese jujitsu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartitsu posted:

Fabricated posted:The Kure power-activation technique thing obviously has some sort of drawback to it that is likely going to be what causes him to lose since he's the dude who can release at 100%. I hope Karla's the one to beat Raian, somehow. She'd sworn to kill Raian at the end of this chapter and it'd be fitting for her to be the one to destroy Raian and give vengeance / closure to her friend Elena. It should be possible for 85% release + sanity to be a superior combo to 100% release + nutso.

I'll laugh my rear end off if the shorts proved to be vital to Ohma's win in this match. Like, they blind his opponent due to the way the sun reflects off the shorts at a particular angle, or something like that.

Rangpur posted:You know on a second read, I'm curious what Hayami's goons would even need to ask Miss Murder Music CEO. If her fighter loses (he will), then it wouldn't make a difference who she supports for chairman. That's the whole point of putting his fighters in a bunch of different slots in the first place. Maybe "ask" her to throw the white towel for her fighter and force him to surrender, so Julius can get to the next round unscathed? As we've seen in the previous fights, even the winning fighters take significant damage from their opponents and it'd be an advantage if you can move to the next round without a scratch.
