i think the message of the fight ultimately is turning out to be "these super modes are kinda stupid"

wakatsuki didnt even break out anything new and took it to a DKO against double god by nothing more than being full of piss, vinegar, and an always-on no-drawback superpower
There's not much to say, Wakatsuki was just born with a (much, much, much) better body. This is why I don't really like the character.

He's a professional fighter, of course he practices fighting. Julius is the hilarious one because refusing to learn anything is so perverse. (Those who are truly strong no techniques is my favorite line in the series because it's so stupid)

Even in a silly manga like this 422 lifetime matches is so preposterous, it makes no sense.

Oh yeah so does Hayami giving meguro Hui Sheng audiobooks actually make him the fifth Wu? Or is he a knockoff Wu?

EDIT: Wait, he was getting Hui Sheng to make him more like his crazed brother? And Hayami was surprised he turned out psycho????

I didn't really enjoy the Yumigahama outcome. I'd prefer he lose but take no damage and just be a total prick about it. Like four purgatory fighters died that tournament how much am I supposed to care about Jose's injuries?

I don't like Koga. Other characters have lives and histories with their fighting and he's just Mr talent. Baki and Ippo do a good job because even the gifted talents aren't just Good.

(I do like Ryuki ofc)

I don't understand the importance of ryuki and koga fighting each other, they already respect one another. Just to make it clear the ppl who commit to other styles are a bunch of idiots?

I mean in Baki the cord cutter went after tendons and ligaments that were close to the skin crippling limbs one by one. Rihito appears to have cut someone inches deep from their head down their entire torso. Even musashi's invisible sword didn't actually cut people.

I like Ryuki more than Koga and he has suffered so much in the past 50 chapters. Hard to imagine him not failing here it has been so long.

That said Dudley's gimmick is exceptionally stupid even by kengan standards.

As long as Rihito is unable to touch any part of Saw Paing's body besides his forehead, he is perfectly countered...

There doesnt have to be an out. In KA Cosmo was supposed to have grown into being much more savage and driven during the Akoya+Ohma fights. Then two years later he's back to losing as the nice guy who hesitates too much. Stuff just happens in this series.

Gensai's trick to beat the advance and thus win Kengan Ashura was to Devil Lance Ohma's thigh so that using advance would cause him to bleed out. Gaoh has at least been more fun than other worms but he feels a bit too strong to keep living unfortunately.

I wasnt being sarcastic for the record I legitimately liked those characters. Huisheng to make people 10x stronger and more knowledgeable than all living humans is just silly it was a funny narrative device for Masaki but this is too much.

Yuujiro has barely factored into the baki plot post maximum tournament he just kind of struts around and smiles at people, menacingly. It would be like if the connector just stayed in the stands eating popcorn forever.
