>>280398935Not impressed. Now, if it was a deck of cards...
>>280399160easy nodiff good job jackbros i knew we could do it
>>280399220and that's all
>>280399114>>280399134>Punch>KickGuess he already gave up on godou
>>280399243What a cliffhanger! How will Jack get clowned next chapter?
>>280399281Are you prepared anon
>>280398893AHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
As a Jack fan, this is the kind of fight I want. Something where it looks like he might lose. Where winning actually means something. Like with Sukune. I hated that Pickle fight. This one is great so far.
>>280399243I'm glad Jack remembered he can do stuff other than "rush in and go for a bite" but this is nonetheless ending badly for him
>>280399016>>280399451but if Jack gets fucked next chapter after this and loses he will be forever relegated to clown status despite everything and I will have to seppuku
Doesn't look like those hits did a lot of damage
>>280398893AAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>280399451he clowned Sukune though
shouldnโt that give him a 1-time jobbing pass?
>>280399243Thanks for the dump Anon'!
>>280399281He's 16 you sick fuck
>>280398935Cardbros... We are forgotten...
>>280399479He saw โclear as dayโ
Jackbros, HE GOT THIS
>>280399298Gudou is not about only ever biting, but about incorporating biting into your style
>>280399628it was way closer than that shitty pickle fight where pickle did literally nothing except claw him a bit and just got ragdolled around while drooling
Though this one Jack is doing worse so far
Jack's Goudou isn't a good match for Hanayama who counters grappling well. In terms of results they're very similar except his is more painful
>>280399220that's a cocky face. is he about to get fucked up even more?
>>280399016what did he see
I bet neither of these guys have had sex.
How come they are so strong then?
>>280399134When did Itagaki start doing this where he'd make his reader flip their book to see an image? It's interesting to do
>>280399799Jack is saving himself for marriage, which grants him increased strength from his devotion to Christ
>>280399760>Godou is not about only ever biting, but abou- YEEEEEEEEEEOOOOUUCH!!!!!
>>280399243>a cliffhanger that seemingly favors jackit's over
>>280399966he fact the subversion is so apparent is why it will work
only that hack Sandrobitch would end on such a predictable cliffhanger
Another one for the collection
I know exactly what will happen next chapter.
>>280400013did you already see it
>>280399799Hanayama just needs to find that one special lady with a cavernous pussy that can accommodate his standing man.
>>280399966This isn't Omega, anything can happen.
None of you understand. Jack is going to win this. 100%.
All the crying out in pain? The wailing? The rolling around on the ground?
It's a sign that he'll win. I'm serious.
He doesn't need to be like Hanayama. He doesn't have to look cool in every panel, good even when hit. He'll disgrace himself, ACK and AIIEEEE, but it doesn't matter. None of that matters. He would show his asshole if it meant winning. He would show his asshole, poop in his hand and throw it at you if it meant winning. In the end, victory belongs to Jack.
>Jack's already crying and he hasn't even triggered the Standing Man backstory yet
Bros...
>>280400113i'm sorry my guy, but you've seen that final page. cliffhangers never end well
the question is, where does the story go from here? hanayama vs jack was kind of set up since before jack rematched pickle, but what now. especially if jack loses (and he likely will)
>>280400155Jack humiliation arc. Next he'll fight Sukune which crushes his jaw. Then a dog. Then Pickle again.
>>280400004Norwood reaper spares NOBODY
no seriously
what did jack see
>>280400264Hanayama's CURSED TECHNIQUE
>>280400155>where does the story go from here?Jack will fight however many minibosses Itagaki has in mind, level up mentally and at the end of Rahen he will fight Yujiro. Isn't it obvious?
>>280400195>then a dogpost THAT image
>>280400155In a youtube video on the Baki official channel the current editor talked how Baki has moved on the "next stage" and Jack has not yet reached that stage, first he has to get revenge against Pickle and so on. Well it was the editor talking and not Itagaki so who knows how it really is but I'm definitely expecting a Motobe fight.
>>280400634that would be so fucking peak...
>>280399966>>280400000Am I the only one who remembers that their on a time limit of a few minutes before the Cops show up. The fights over because they interrupt it
>>280400727The cops are already there
>>280400264He had a premonition.
>>280400727>>280400766they're letting it happen
>>280399016turn him into a wojak
>>280400871japanese police... is useless!
>>280400871Props to Itagaki. This man has been around since the Convicts
>>280400871Pretty cool sonoda is back
>>280401008if YOU were a police officer and prime Mike Tyson and George Foreman were beating the fuck out of eachother in your area, would you stop them? Or just watch?
>>280398912Ah get over it jack, he didn't even take off your kneecap.
>jack jobs
>again
Fuck this manga
>>280401124Fight's not over. Believe. Believe in the Jack.
Could Jack defeat Retsu?
Could Jack defeat Oliva?
>>280400871You'd think they would be a little apprehensive about strange men do bouts in public after what happened with Musashi...
>>280401390Hanayama is not a strange man
>>280401502He's a strange standing man
Next chapter starts with "Jack later recall.."
>Jack saw "The Standing Man's presence exuding from Hanayama"
>Hanayama strips to reveal back
>Rest of the chapter is tattoo backstory retelling
YFW
>>280401346Jack vs Retsu at the Maximum Tournament would be awesome. Jack lost a lot of his original appeal to me when he turned into a 213cm giant and now a 243cm giant
>>280398884 (OP)Still so handsome
>>280401763no no no. next chapter is everyone realizing that's what he mean, then the chapter after that one explains the Standing Man, then the chapter after that one is Hanayama winding up his fist
>>280399016Is this saving face?
>>280399196What does he know?
>>280401346logically yes and most likely yes. However in Baki there are no constants.
>>280399243Jack got this!
>>280399243>breakno...I can't take this...I need to see my boy Jack destroying Hanayama...
>>280399016>>280399796I think what he means is he saw the attack coming and thought he could take it, but it turned out he couldn't. I suspect the arc might dig into some of Jack's confidence being rooted in self-deception. He says he doesn't care what people think, but then basks in their applause. He thinks he can just tank any pain, but he can't. I bet he'd probably be mortified to show his asshole too.
Jack needs to acknowledge his limits to address them, not be in denial about them.
>>280399243Alright lads, Jack confirmed destroyed in the next chapter. Subsequent humiliations incoming too
What was the point of this whole "Jack arc"?
>>280399868>Jesus is protecting Motobe who is protecting Yujiro
>>280402192So the climax is him showing his asshole would win the fight, but he can't and loses.
>>280400871>when all the kids form a circle around the fight and then police arrives and joins the circle
I know exactly what will happen next chapter.
parts 1 and 2 jack's strikes were portrayed as the hardest hits known to man, the only guy who could sustain them was baki himself, the king of all plot armour. his power seems quite a bit nerfed since then
like i know it's hanayama and he's tanky as shit but i bet if you put jack against like katsumi tomorrow, his strikes still wouldn't do much
>>280402310Jack will realize he has to throw his shit to win the fight, and can't do it. That's when Pickle, caveman monkey man that he is, comes in and does it naturally, and defeats both of them.
>>280402499Itagaki is washed
>>280402545baki is still insanely entertaining, it's just that we're in the middle of Jack's journey so who knows how it will end
>>280399016I can see it, clear as day!
>>280399796His own defeat
>>280402575But he sucks at telling Jack's story. There are so many inconsistencies and weirdness that I don't even know if he's a fully fleshed-out character or an allegoric vehicle for a cautionary tale about competing against purebred nippons and being a christcuck basedance-based fighter.
Should've ended it with Baki Dou, his magnum opus. He's nothing but a senile old mangaka now, even his art has gone crap
>>280399451>Something where it looks like he might lose. Where winning actually means something.There wasn't a single fight like this in both Baki Dou's. Every fight has to be ridiculously one sided now.
>>280399860... You mean a double page spread?
>>280403054He sometimes does horizontal single pages too, but that's not one of them. He was doing them back in Hanayama Gaiden, at least.
>>280398979this is literally the yamcha meme lol

surely itagaki is just putting jackenstein on the backfoot to make his victory more satisfying and wont ACTUALLY make him job to a mid tier fighter, surely

>>280401388HGH really destroyed her face, shame
>>280407023Maybe the author is trying to make a point across?
Jack has to lose to get the message across that winners don't use drugs. It's that simple.
>>280406610realistically, what could Goku and Kenshiro do if Motobe came prepared?
>>280404636power levels don't matter in Baki. Anyone could lose to someone else at any time
>>280407362Not Hanayama. Come at him any time. When he is shitting. When he is sleeping, When he is with a woman. He is always himself every time.

>>280407105>Baki>Yujiro>Pickle>Motobe>Hanayama (soon)Every time it's a new gimmick, new philosophy of life around it, he fucks up, he seethes, back to the drawing board.
He's basically an emotional teenager always looking for the easy hack to get stronger quickly instead of just learning how to fight.
The worst part are his wins though.
Not counting one-timer NPCs:
>Shibukawa>Sikorsky>Ali jr.>Kyouichiro Sabu( the swordmaster guy)>SukuneHe only wins when his opponent is an even bigger faggot than him, they're all one-trick ponies who make a huge deal about their gimmick of choice.

>>280407023Just to be clear, this is true but it doesn't contradict any of the things I said
>>280408958It's just not inconsistent because Jack is consistent in being a hypocrite, that's what I meant
>>280409178Ah well, fair enough.
This is what I meant by inconsistent
>>280406502
jack is winning big but i feel like some fucker like baki might jump in and somehow talk them into having fight on top of the mountain or some shit like that, peopl tend to forget we still have to see deroided hanma version, maybe all his prosthetics will pop out too and he will have final final form and somehow it will make him stronger
Waitโฆdo people seriously think Jack has a chance at beating Hanayama? Did people not read his spinoff?
>>280399243inb4 he bit him in the foot and used his super strength to rip his toes off
>>280400264The standing man
Next chapter, you will be reminded

>>280406316Paru get off this website and get back to your furshit manga or I'm gonna give you the fingernado again.
>>280399796Yujiro told him that he can't fight if he doesn't expect to get stung (ie, in a very literal way bitten back).
He saw that Hanayama is all about 'style' but isn't beneath doing dirty tricks and similar fuckery to prove a point.
Hanayama fights to look as weird as he can, but he doesn't fight 'clean' like some others might.
Hanayama's fighting style is "If it works it and it doesn't humiliate me, I'll use it", jack meanwhile is even more 'pure', if it works, you should use it.
Remember this is Hanayama is the first fucking time Jack has fought someone that doesn't give a flying shit about martial art style, just 'style'.
>>280398884 (OP)Before the thread disappears I want to ask:
Are there any Jack truthers left?
I sold all my Jackcoin like 5 chapters ago.
>>280412495if he won, then why did he lose?
>>280399793it's jack, bro. he's about to get jackbroken worse than any black slave you ever heard of.
>>280399243Realistically I canโt possibly fathom how Jack can lose this. He outclasses Hanayama in every way.
>>280412664except...for "purity"...
>>280399796I'm sure it will be something dumb like
>I saw you wince in pain when I bit your leg>That means my attacks are effective after all!
>>280412444Transient perturbations. In the long term, jackcoin will gorrilionuple in value.
>>280412664In the same way that Pickle has been getting clowned on ever since he fought Baki. Just have him written to be stupid and never do anything on the same level as his previous fights.
>>280407023>Jack gets instantly fucked upNow you're just being disingenuous for the sake of forcing a narrative. Baki had to work incredibly hard to beat Jack in the maximum tournament. It was the most grueling fight of his life up to that point that was actually put to page. Similarly, he didn't get "instantly fucked up" by Pickle. He fought so hard that Pickle got tired of fighting him and would rather walk away than have to deal with finishing him off.
This is also ignoring how much ass Jack tore through in the MT and his return in dismantling the first consistent arc rival Baki had in Ali Jr.
He wasn't just throwing random haymakers and high kicks against Baki either. He stayed methodical and consistent throughout the fight even as he was maxing out.
>>280412664So heckin true. Jack is superior to Hanayama in every single aspect save for speed, strength, mentality, pain tolerance, style, agreeableness, intelligence, wealth, being loved by his parents, having a functional non-micro penis and healthy gonads, taste, having fun, having a consistent design without his face being different every other chapter, style again, standing man, number of friends, kizaki, common sense, genetics, bitches and not being a rapechild. Jack got this is the bag.
>>280412827>HODLing the jackcoin in this jackconomyRespect
>>280412664So heckin true. Jack is superior to Hanayama in every single aspect save for speed, strength, mentality, pain tolerance, style, agreeableness, intelligence, wealth, being loved by his parents, having a functional non-micro penis and healthy gonads, taste, having fun, having a consistent design without his face being different every other chapter, style again, standing man, number of friends, kizaki, common sense, genetics, bitches and not being a rapechild. Jack's got this is the bag.
>>280412955>BakiHe just somehow survives the mother of all overdoses and then they fight and he loses because Baki is the better martial artist.
>PicklePickle is a retarded chimp and gets scared a couple times because this time Jack decides bumrushing his opponents until he dies is the winning move. As soon as the surprise element wears down he gets full combo'd, but at least he survives because of the middle finger thing, I have to give him that.
>MTYeah okay, but he's definitely overhyped to hell and back even there. He beats a lot of one-timer NPCs so he can get hyped as the main antagonist.
>Ali jrCome on now.
>>280413323>He beats a lot of one-timer NPCsThe only "one-timer NPC" was the shourinji kenpo guy on the very first match that got quickly annihilated with a single uppercut, after that he chews both Shibukawa and Garland, who are not one-timer NPCs no matter how you slice it.
I'm seriously getting tired of this gratuitous hate for Jack.
>>280404636For one, Jack is fighting like a retard
>>280413323That's because Jack, in a weird way, was strong enough to withstand it from the get-go. He was already unique in that he was able to survive the side effects of the super drug. Maxing and purging was his body trying to tell him to stop.
>but he's definitely overhyped to hell and back even thereHe wasn't "overhyped." He was set up as Baki's foil. The secret of him being his brother was foreshadowed well enough and even Yujiro acknowledged his strength and dedication. The only one-off he beat up on was Silva. Garland showed up and was being set up as a real threat by dumpstering Hanayama and the anaconda and he was made out to be the real deal. Aside from them, he wrecked Shibukawa pretty cleanly despite him having thrashed Doppo. And this is a Doppo who only recently made Yujiro get serious so he wouldn't look bad in front of a crowd and his son.
I don't know how anyone can say he was overhyped in his very first appearance when he was set up exactly as he was intended to be. If anything, he gets downplayed super hard by people in subsequent arcs for how little he appears and how he gets jobbed out against Pickle.
>>280400264Guessing
>the path to victory, what he has to do to win, something like that>something to do with his x-ray powers e.g "I saw your heart pumping slower" etc>psychological reinforcement e.g the shitty future that awaits him should he not be able to win here, hanayama is the final hurdle standing between he and the top, etc>something really really pathetic like his mother encouraging him from the afterlife (he does not know she's alive) etc I bet he tells this to someone from the hospital bed/a cafรฉ/a meeting at Tokugawa's in the aftermath of his loss
>>280413569He really does alternate between being extremely clean and methodical and then just rushing in and brawling. Sometimes he takes his opponents apart with surgical precision, like with Sukune, and sometimes he just wants to duke it out.
>>280399016someone have some good looking side view Hanayama?
>>280413691To be fair both Hanayama and Pickle are exceptions to the rule in general.
Hanayama in particular is only really relevant because of fangirls and has one of the worse records in the cast in terms of fights, his only actually notable fight was the one against Speck, everything else he either jobs real bad or is set up against literal whos, seriously
>Lost against Baki, immediately got dumpstered hard by Yujiro afterwards>Lost against fucking MT Katsumi>Got humiliated by Garland>Won fair and square against Speck>(Hanayama Gaiden happens...?)>Got wrecked hard by Musashi and the glazing doesn't really make him look better>Got a pity win against one of the least impressive fat fucks during Sumo-douNot a good showing no matter how much you like the standing man
>>280404636>he forgot that garland megajobbed to sikorsky
>>280414210>"lost" against Katsumi>the glazing doesn't make him look better>pity win against the sumoOh please
>>280414210>this entire post
Has Jack thrown one uppercut during the entirety of Rahen?
So Jack's not allowed to show pain ever according to haters here? Baki has done so before.
>>280399196>It's so jackover...
Jack will win. Him losing right now makes no narrative sense. Then again, bakidou was kind of a piece of shit unfocused mess.
Jack is going to win. Calling it now.
>>280416534>makes no narrative senseAs if that would stop Itagaki.
>>280414210A lot of this is hindsight. Yuri was Baki's first real loss and Hanayama crushed him before Baki got his rematch with him.
>>280416534>Jack is going to win>we haven't seen a complete comeback in the entirety of Itagaki's work>for some reason he will start writing comeback stories next chapterClownery
>>280416534Jack is so weak we haven't even seen the standing man in this fight
I feel like I got monkey pawed asking for a jack spinoff

>>280415592jack can do whatever he wants lil bro. but you can't expect people to not laugh when he makes silly faces
>>280428018It's "Itagaki's group", so his assistants, but named as if it was a Yakuza family kek
>>280399243There is nothing Hanayama can do from this position
This is a guaranteed win for Jack
>>280430221In a real fight, yes.
Hanayama would probably try to catch the kick and explode his leg or just stand up and tank it
>>280430221Have I ever told you about the strongest muscle in the human body?
>>280399243>Hanayama tanks the face kick>goes "Good enough. You win">calmly withdraws>crowd goes wild over Hanayama>Jack cries like a bitchComing up next: Shibukawa rematch
>>280430221He can magically close the distance and punch him a millisecond before the kick lands, obviously. Style does that.
>>280398893What's the point of having Jack as the MC of Rahen and then proceed to make him like this
>>280431322>make new baki part for your dear daughter's favorite character>she immediately writes a manga about a pitbull killing her dad then her fucking it
>>280431322There's no point in having a main character that never struggles, which is why Baki himself became a secondary character in his own series, besides you've already complained to no end about him no selling Sukune and Pickle so this little hypocrisy game of yours impresses nobody
>>280402499parts 1 and 2 are completely and utterly outdated; most fighters have moved on from that. the biggest and most obvious example in both power and character is yujiro himself
>>280431322It's just a setup so Jack will realize the value of sex powerup
>>280431322The entire point of having him as a the MC is for him to struggle and subsequently grow from that
>>280431474he didn't really no-sell sukune. he had quite a bit of trouble with him
plus he did that old " if he hit me with his ultimate move, i'd be a goner now " shtick
>>280400113This! So much this!!! It's gon be le epic subversion just like in game of thrones with the exploding head guy!!!! I'm hella hyped y'all
>>280399243>on the...>... fallen manHanajobmabros....................
>>280413470>GarlandI miss this guy so bad he was badass as fuck. Showed up naked, mogged Tokugawa and broke steel shackles, put Chiharu through the ceiling, suplexed Hanayama, made an entire stadium shake with a shoulder check, suplexed a snake, dug a quarry by himsel, used 100kg axes and pickaxes all day every day and started his fight with Jack by suplexing him 5 times in a row
>>280407023Jack is getting one these in the rematch
Maybe Giant Baba is more Jack's speed.
>>280415510Shibukawa tanked that btw
>>280429378Why is Baki always portrayed to be like 90cm? There's not even a 30cm difference between Hanayama and Baki. Itagaki is good at conveying motion, but so bad at scale.
>>280433361It's for pizzaz. Suedo looked 3 meters tall in some panels when he fought Baki
>>280433361because that's how manlets look irl
>>280433382Maybe in action shots, but while just standing still?
>>280433361It's the HnK effect
>>280433412It's because nobody stands like Hanayama
>>280433412There's this one panel just before the Grand Sumo tournament where Hanayama and Katsumi have accurate heights (probably to make Sukune look big) and it looks very odd
>>280416534What does him losing or winning change really? Either way heโd just continue to try and keep getting stronger and challenge more people.
>>280431322did you already forget about Muhammad ali jr and sukuna ? both of their stories ended with a humiliation ritual.
>ali KOs goki and the karate guy and gently lays them down>they both rape him back to back>then his dad>then baki two shots him before choking him to death
>>280433743Sukuna hahahhahahahha. he'd probably lose to Yujiro too!
>>280433361I reckon most of the time it's to make Hanayama or whomever look big rather than to make Baki look small. look at Hanayama greeting Baki after the MT or when he shows up to stall Pickle, Hanayama looks like a fuckin nephilim cause he's the "big guy" of the integral cast
>>280433089why are you so bitter, sister?
>>280433361They literally have a chapter where they go "sizes and height don't mean anything". It's like complaining that Giorno has like 5 hair colors.

>>280398893Paru lost
Hanayama WON
When was the last time Hanayama popped someone's arm anyway?
>>280431394I need a Paru wife
>>280432908He didnโt have any trouble, tf kinda manga are you reading, nigga?
what happened to that ancient sumo jobber? according to him his "fight" with yuujirou isn't over
>>280436863he's waiting to unplug his oxygen machine in 50 years
What's even the point of this fight? This whole arc is kind of just a clusterfuck. He should have had a couple OCs to fight so he could actually maim them without issue. Or he could just introduce some kind of magic healing gel or healing pods at this point so the characters can be maimed in fights without dying. He already does that a lot with his magical science stuff anyway, so just go all the way.
>>280437365the point is jack trying to work his way up the food chain to fight yujiro
>>280437365>What's even the point of this fightmost likely to teach jack a lesson about spirit. to grow from it you could say
SoO and onwards jack is kind of a big insecure guy, maybe this current arc is for him to break out of his shell a bit
>But if Jack loses his individuality of biting, he will just be a guy who wants to expose his asshole
It'll turn out that he's able to counter Jack, but Jack noticed some dog shit on the ground so he kicked through the dog shit which will let him win somehow.
>>280437409Which one is more likely
>It's character development. The kind of fight it's only been done by Itagaki like twice in benefit of the MC but FOR SURE it's happening again for the non-jap non-oriental religion, naturalistic view of the world, gigantic weirdo who bites people and has daddy issuesor
>Itagaki got bored of one of the characters he's been building up and will now proceed to humiliate them. Which happened 93595828194 times in the past
>>280437551He can do both, theyโll both be his gimmicks
>>280433577Will Garouden ever escape WildFag hell? Or are we stuck with South American schizo translation?
>>280437953>Which happened 93595828194 times in the pasthappened only with sukune, so one time
>>280399016What did he actually mean here? What did he see?
>>280438476he saw through hanayama's technique
>>280438502The technique of ripping off chunks of flesh with his bare hands
>>280438197Now let's pretend Ali Jr. was gonna beat Baki and fight Oliva but Itagaki toootally changed his mind
>>280438476We don't know yet. Even Hanayama doesn't know
>>280438197The whole boxing subplot with Retsu is probably the biggest example
>>280438082People insist the WF translation for it is fine, I dunno though
>>280440572>Reminded how Retsu made a fool of PacquiaoLole
>>280440637It certainly has WF moments along with generally bad grammar, I don't think he made anything up though?
>>280441166Hanayama's guy calling the win for him is a major jobber flag for Hanayama.
>>280441166his fatherโs love

>>280442042The Guevara (Gebaru?) fight was just plain odd. Cool dude though.
>>280416534actual speedreader lmao
>>280442084I dug it. Oliva was already a brutal stat check in his only other fights (Doyle, Ron)
>I would toss my diaper if it meant winning!!!
>>280440572Itagaki loves making a point out of how public martial arts are ass compared to free fighting
>>280399196>>280399220>>280399243Man, I fucking hate Hanayama. His whole shtick is being a retard and getting his ass kicked because of it, but then he magically doesn't take any damage because the author doesn't want him to. This fight sucks.
>>280446110jackfags taking a bite of humble pie lmao.
>>280446110>Man, I fucking hate Hanayama
>>280446110He's like if you put Mark Hunt, Brock Lesnar and Eddie Hall into one man
>>280446673Brock Lesnar won't tell you about that Shooting Star Press though.
>>280446673>do you know about the story of the shitty knife tattoo?
>>280399134FFFFFFUCK me that kick would be rough coming from a petite woman. Coming from Jack, Hanayama is truly stronger than iron
>>280438197Kehaya was hyped up for being one of the two main Sumo's who descended from/based off of irl ancient sumo wrestlers, kicked a boulder in half that supposedly contained a demon and he gets humiliated back to back before fading back into non-existence
>>280449661He beat Yujiro

Remember that jack cant even beat this jobber.
>>280450320This jobber won against Musashi
>>280446110>random side character shows up>ko's Hanayama with a single throw>but now Hanayana can just take suplexes and head kicks slamming his head into the pavement and it's loldidnthurt.
>>280433743jack's twist will be rising where they fell.
>>280399243Next chapter
>Half the chapter is an interview with a guy from the crowd>โIt was a great kick, the kind of kick that would launch a soccer ball right into a goal at the World Cupโฆโ>โImagine having a kick like that aimed right at your headโฆ.a normal person would die wouldnโt they?! Butโฆ.โ>Jack reels back his leg and holds it in pain>โYouโฆ.!โ>Cut to Hanayama having bitten his toe off because grip strength = biting strength (Itagaki magic)>โBiting huhโฆ.its not bad I guessโฆโChapter end
Jack COULD NEVER deal with pickle this way. Pickle didnt even fight jack seriously.
>>280401763Everyoneโs expecting the tattoo story to come out at any moment during this fight but youโre underestimating Itagaki. Itโs gonna happen during a later fight when Hanayama walks in to see Jack fight someone else.
>>280433743>sukunaIโll always remember that one comment on TikTok that was like โYujiro could counter Mahoraga by just spinning his wheel counter clockwiseโ
>>280450320>Memetobe with ample preparation>JobberI have to post this again, uh?
>>280451873FUCK I want to get protected
>>280452408You better do, not like Memetobe would let you choose anyway
What's up with Jack's form in this page? Are you supposed to twist your punching arm that much?
>>280452582it's called [spin] or the power of rotation
>>280407362>Anyone could lose to someone else at any timeThen why fight at all? What meaning is there to being the strongest if it's just rock paper scissors?
>>280406502>>believe in YHWH>>ackshually now I think there is nothing that soience can not explainThat's him as a kid compared to now. Even then you don't have to take it as super literal. Could easily be hyperbole.
>>I won't stop at anything to achieve victory, pain doesn't even register to me >>ackshually I'm afraid of pain nowHe can still feel it that much is obvious.
I think you're just taking things too literally here.
>>280407706>The main character who can play loldidn'thurt all day every day no matter what technique you use and overpower you with brute force unless you are Pickle or Yujiro>Yujiro>Pickle who raped Retsu, Katsumi, Jack and then KO'd Baki himself>Motobe who would go on to successfully get the better of Musashi right after thatThis isn't really a huge own. He didn't even gain a new philosophy inbetween all of this, there's only Goudou.
>>280413102>speedWhat? Hanayama is a turtle.
>>280416534>Him losing right now makes no narrative sense...Which is exactly why it should/will happen!
>>280398935Bottom left panel is so fucking funny to me.
>>280453813Okay moron. Stop reading.
