We know Yuujiro's strong because he beats the poo poo out of people all the time, mostly for fun We know pretty much all the time exactly what he wants (to beat someone up) and why (because he thinks it's fun) When he wants to be sneaky, he doesn't slip through people's blind spots or use the gaps in their awareness. He just cranks his badass aura up to maximum, inflicting such existential terror on everyone in the vicinity that their survival instincts automatically block their conscious awareness of him in hopes that they'll avoid drawing his notice and ire Yuujiro works because Baki is well aware that it's ridiculous, and heavily leans into the goofy and bizarre stuff. It doesn't ever have to look serious, because there's no poo poo about global terrorist conspiracies holding the fate of the world in their hands. It's just a bunch of bored near-superhumans stirring up trouble with each other for fun.

Lt. Lizard posted:Literally the very first scene, establishing where we are and what is happening is Inaba and Fusui hanging out with Ohma and complaining about how the security is poo poo and how it's extremely unusual that this kind of mess happens with so many competent people involved. Like we even have characters reacting in confusion when Muteba reports that he has been posted completely out of the way in some random back alley. You know, the one person we know for sure would be able to detect mustache Gaoh before he got to Nogi and co. and spoil his theatrics. No one comes out and says "Worm sabotage", because Worms is supposed to be eliminated at this point, but the story is making it extremely clear that something weird and suspicious is happening and that the characters in story are aware of it. And that all happens before mustache Gaoh or Shen appear. If it's Worm sabotage, that's still loving stupid, because the bosses of the Kengan Association and their extremely trusted security chiefs are all right there. If some traitor in the middle management messed with the security arrangements, literally everyone who could possibly do anything about it was standing right there in that building, while all of their trusted bodyguards and confidants are standing around loudly talking about how hosed the security is. Besides, the characters already said that it's not sabotage, it's just simple loving incompetence. The Kengans built this giant Anti-Worm Alliance out of a fuckton of different factions who didn't get along, and now "factional politics" is the go-to excuse for why they're simply forced to run a complete loving shitshow in order to please the egos of some absolute losers who don't manage. It's like an expanded version of when they made a known traitor the Vice-Head of the Kengan Association, despite knowing that he had been in league with the Worm in the past and was almost certainly still in league with the Worm (given the presence of an obviously Worm-made clone, who later killed him and took over his position). It made sure to give us a few pages of Yamashita talking about how he just couldn't hire any of the other good fighters he knew about because it'd upset the factional power balance somehow first, but it was still loving stupid - and it's entirely possible that it contributed to the current mess, since I don't remember if we know if the obviously Worm-made clone with unclear motivations inherited Hayami's vice-head position or factional influence. Honestly Nogi seems to be completely loving incompetent at actually running the Kengan Association

can't the perfect superhuman with amazing stealth powers just leave, wait for Hanafusa to go home, and then sneak back into all the CEOs' houses and threaten them into compliance just like he tried to do today??? i mean obviously this is just an excuse for them to have a stupid fightmans tournament, but when the heck did they start thinking this manga needed an excuse to have one of those? yeah, they didn't say it was going to be a tournament, but let's be real, there's no way Moustache Ohma is here just to give dumb speeches. dude's gonna have to get his fists dirty. and at that point you might as well throw in Xia Yan too, and maybe Edward Wu 2.0, and probably a couple others

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Someone loving predicted the sword thing. also predicted Raian shrugging off the Superman Syndrome strength like it's nothing as well as Raian effortlessly dealing with a 100%-released Kure without even bothering to use Removal himself i miss when Superman Syndrome and Removal were both cool, instead of scrub poo poo that some loser will use to talk himself up before getting effortlessly dunked on. at least it was funny when Xia Ji had Superman Syndrome
