[Baki the Grappler] The Arai Jr. arc was just a story where Arai Jr. gets beaten up repeatedly by regular characters, but what exactly was it trying to convey?

Otaku Review Image

I would like to go home.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:26

Arrogance…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:27

Regular characters are quite strong.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29Yeahx13

>>2Aren’t you just rationalizing the act of visiting those who have weakened?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:48

>>7Always in the battlefield.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:15Yeahx1

>>71Well then, don’t lose from the start, you weakling.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:28Yeahx7

A former boxer who became a manga artist wanted to draw a manga about the son of the boxing god, but quickly got bored with it.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:28Yeahx25

Itagaki gets bored quickly.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:28Yeahx2

A1. No matter how strong you are, you cannot win a fight without determination.
A2. The validity of Muhammad Ali’s signature has expired.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:28Yeahx2

It’s not good to progress the conversation with a sense of live performance.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29

The story of “Arai Jr. Edition” was just about Arai Jr. getting beaten up endlessly by regular characters, but I wonder what it was trying to convey.I just gave a little lesson to a cocky young guy who got carried away.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:44

>>8Originally, I intended to depict a plot where Jack is defeated and challenges Baki, but I realized Jack is more than this… so I developed the storyline to have Arai Jr. lose, and as I continued drawing, Doppo and the Master came to pay a visit.
Having learned the no-rules fight, Arai Jr. ultimately could not escape the clean fight mentality and approached the battle with the mindset of not wanting to be defeated, which was the cause of his instant loss.
Well, that’s the result of drawing it while just using a pen.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:14Yeahx1

>>8Honestly, it’s not just really stupid, but totally ridiculous.
From here on, please disregard everything about Doppo-chan and the master except for the self-discipline-related parts.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29

I want to draw boxing but quickly lose interest.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29Yeahx3

I wanted to write about Muhammad Ali, but
Indeed, the person model is from a different era, so I introduced the son.
But I realized halfway through that it wouldn’t make sense to write about my son…
I quickly folded it after boxing it.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29

I think the bottom of Baki is the two top figures, Keshin and Sura-gan.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29

I liked him until partway through, though, Arai Jr.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29Yeahx7

Saying “I just wasn’t trying my best” is a really lame excuse, no matter how you put it.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:31

>>13I’m a strong alien, so if I think I won, then that’s all that matters.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:29

The Growth Story of Araijunior
Did you think so?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:30Yeahx2

We might have completed it…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:33

>>15It’s nice that Baki can defeat them instantly.
After that, they also try to properly stop someone’s breathing.
It’s trying to make the body understand that it’s not a sport.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:30Yeahx2

In Baki, the author draws from his own experiences, so boxing is regularly incorporated into the story, but the boxers themselves don’t seem to have a good time.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:31Yeahx1

>>16Not using your legs in a battle where anything goes…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:32

>>19I thought boxing was a sport where you don’t kick.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:32Yeahx2

>>19Huh~~~~?
Boxing is about kicking the ground, right~~~~~~?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:31

There’s no way it would end with one punch… we did that before…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:32Yeahx1

Kekkun really doesn’t understand why he came out.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:32

Thematically, it is also an extension of the death row inmate arc.
No matter how much you hurt someone, it’s not over until they acknowledge their defeat, and you cannot take down your opponent without the determination to do so yourself.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:32Yeahx15

It’s tough that Doppō-chan and Shibukawa-sensei are so uncool, of all people.
It’s better to let someone like Igari gloat over winning against the injured.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:35Yeahx2

>>22The last Jr. lifting the hole is too much of a final push…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:33

I can’t defend the scene where Dappe-chan and Shibukawa thank a battered Arai Jr.
I understand that it’s important to be prepared to fight anytime when going outside, but…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:33

In the anime, due to Arai’s voice being voiced by Hidenari Tanaka, the conversations with Yujiro were almost like Metal Gear.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:34Yeahx6

That’s amazing! I love the human body. ♥

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:34

But isn’t Baki not about taking each other’s lives? The kill score is 0, right?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:45Yeahx2

>>29I think when I kicked Shikoru out of the building’s window, I clearly intended to kill him.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:34

It’s not that Jr. is bad, but rather that the surrounding environment was just lowering the stock price.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:34

I will never forgive you♡

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:35

Draw Koie as a well-behaved character, like a proper protagonist from a traditional shonen manga.
To challenge Yujiro Hanma, that’s not enough; the aim to highlight Baki after the death row inmate arc is twofold.
The live feeling is eighty percent.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:35

Jack was the only one who looked cool throughout that chapter.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:36

>>34Alishinia was able to exit quite nicely…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:36

He’s one of the few characters who can really make Yu-chan angry.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:36

Seeing Kozue tired of the “I’m stronger than you” aliens, I didn’t find any different kind of strength in that.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:36Yeahx3

My dad is seriously like a raccoon and has a good character.
It’s not the appearance of a noble man that made Yu-chan even say she respects him.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:39Yeahx3

>>37A noble spirit that does not submit to the state and a stubborn refusal to lose, vowing to express gratitude to a defeated opponent, do not contradict each other.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:36Yeahx3

Mr. Oriba has also been downgraded from a nice uncle to a pee uncle, and when the spotlight is on, everyone becomes useless.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:39Yeahx5

>>38I understand that you tried to have Gebaru take the fall and let Baki defeat him step by step.
It’s more than I thought, the depiction of the little old man being quickly bound in the Gebaru battle starts off too large.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:37

Thinking about it again, it’s strange that Professor Itagaki has such a unique career as a manga artist…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:38

It became meaningless because Baki-chan was instantly killed.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:38

It was a total disaster when I did it in reverse with Sukkun, and there was nothing I could do about it.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:40

Baki, who easily defeats Duppo, Jatsu, and Jack, is now at the level of Yujiro.
It was probably just a pawn for the sake of the performance, but there was a part where he lost to Jack and got completely beaten up.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:40Yeahx1

It was clearly a mere opening act, but Gebaru has a kind of cool impression.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:42Yeahx8

>>46A man who left refreshingly, wished by fans to never come back again.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:43

>>46The strength to lift several humans at once is impressive, but what’s unique and great about this character is their background of having created hundreds of soldiers who can individually jack a nuclear power plant, which no other character has.
The ending is refreshing too.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:41

Is this something that actually happened?

By the way, the first victim of this type was your father. This type created by Antonio Inoki as a desperate measure… your father could only shout “Get up!” and couldn’t even cry.

Is this something that actually happened?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:42Yeahx6

>>47Many readers probably don’t know about the Inoki vs. Ali match…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:42

>>47The one that was there.
Kicking my feet around while lying down.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:45

>>47Perhaps this was too uncool, which is why the treatment of tough characters inspired by Baki and Inoki became terrible after this.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47

>>47
Actual footage
As expected of a battle referred to as a mediocre match of the century, it’s quite something.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:41

From this time on, Baki’s fights can only be depicted as instant kills.
No, it was earlier than this.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:41

Mr. Shibukawa was super cool up until the Jack fight and the hot water scene with Yanagi… and I wondered why it was like this around here.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:41

Ultimately, no matter how many years pass, the gap in strength between Baki and Ogre cannot be closed, and that’s at the core of it, so they were wandering aimlessly trying to make it convincing enough for someone to defeat the Ogre…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:42

I thought at the time that you were getting a little bored.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:43

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:44

Gebaru’s exit scene ends with him surrounded by his friends, talking about how he lost, which leaves a good aftertaste.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:45Yeahx4

>>57Loss──the moment I was about to say it, this guy immediately changed the subject to “I just had a baby~” I love that kind of mob.
What nice guys they are…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:45

Kaku Shunsei’s one-punch had an impressive feeling to it.
How many times are you going to repeat the instant kill pattern…?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47Yeahx1

>>60The Haru-nari War is
Don’t drag out the development awkwardly.
The protagonist’s resurrection after wandering between life and death due to poison.
High five with my arch-rival, dad.
Because there’s only the highlights…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47

The taekwondo person who fought Iron Michael in the major tournament said that as long as you avoid certain spaces, it’s fine, but that’s a method akin to extremism.
If you are asleep, the other party cannot do anything.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47

It was a generally boring time, but I like the kanji usage for “magical destruction.”
It’s definitely a powerful magic.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47

Baki was actually getting really upset internally because Jr. was trying to NTR his girlfriend, so I mentally stored that he treated him so badly…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47

Since around the late chapters, I thought up characters and settings and tried drawing them.
After getting bored or being unable to come up with developments, it ended up getting processed carelessly and coming to a close.
It has become full of patterns like that, hasn’t it?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:50Yeahx3

>>67I think the match between Guo Haiwang and Yujiro was a legendary fight.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:47Yeahx1

Isn’t it a bit too bland to just lie down and wait to face such a boxer?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:49Yeahx4

>>68I heard that the proposal for rule restrictions from the ant side was so strict that pro-wrestling-style fights were almost entirely blocked, leaving no other options.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:51

>>74I wonder why they tried to hold mixed martial arts fights in that era.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:53

>>81When Ari provocatively asked, “Is there no one among Asians who will challenge me?” in his usual tone, a Japanese promoter jumped at the chance to seize that opportunity, mobilizing money and media to tightly surround him so that he couldn’t escape the match-making.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:48

With this, Baki is on a different level, so it would have been better to jump straight into the father-son fight.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:49

>>70I’m sorry!
I have encountered someone I absolutely want to draw!!!

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:49Yeahx3

The ending of that Gebar chapter shows that it gained something more important than winning or losing.
It’s one answer to breaking away from the strong alien that Koie talks about, right?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:49Yeahx4

I don’t even know what Pickle wanted to draw so badly…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:52

>>75That guy is just a mysterious ape that looks like a human, so he’s in the position of a demon monkey.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:54

>>75At that time, the famous Takku of Special Attack was Champion, and he was drawing dinosaur manga.
He’s famous for his yankee manga, but he’s seriously a real deal dinosaur fan.
Maybe they had an interesting dinosaur talk when they met.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:50

We ended up with the same outcome for both people in sumo.
Isn’t it the case that, like Musashi or Pickle, you want to establish a new character tradition, Mr. Itagaki?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:50

The voice actor for Arai, Hoshi, was clearly a mismatch.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:50Yeahx1

Itagaki: “I want to make famous historical figures fight against Baki…”
Itagaki: “Che Guevara, ants, primitive humans, Musashi…”
Itagaki: “I’m kind of bored… I guess I’ll just hit it randomly and be done with it.”

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:51

It’s fine if there isn’t a specific theme, but I’ve been thinking since around the death row inmate arc that you should show us something interesting.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:51Yeahx3

If we try to seriously discuss the Inoki vs. Ali match, we have to touch on various aspects like the rules and background.
I think it’s enough to just understand that there was such a battle once.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:51

The primitive humans were on the edge, but Musashi was in a situation completely on par with the Gargoyle arc.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:53

>>83Of all things, the final battle ending with an interruption by a kiss from the old lady made me think, what were they thinking…?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:52Yeahx2

Isn’t it too much of an impact that characters like Kaki and Retsu, who I just randomly thought of and started with, are missing or dead?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:52

It’s frustrating that even after lifting Baki, from here on out with Pickle, Yu, and Musashi, it’s going to be a series of not knowing why we could win or not winning.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:53

I don’t know how much longer the teacher can draw.
For now, since the rivalry between the Hanma father and son has been settled, is it correct to assume that it can end at any time?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:54Yeahx5

Even though Pickle doesn’t feel a thing from the punches of the other characters.
I have a memory of thinking, “That’s not right,” at the hasty depiction where only Baki’s punch inflicts damage.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

>>90As a result, the appearance of the demon’s face in the brain was a foreshadowing of the psychic powers of Baki.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:01Yeahx1

>>104Dad’s demon face is a hundred times creepier, isn’t it?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:54Yeahx1

I feel that Gebal might have been able to showcase his true value in an unrestricted street fight, like a death row inmate.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:55

I don’t really understand the old ogre who respects the god of boxing.
Hoping to be a playmate for my son.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:56

>>93I think someone who directly challenges a powerful opponent with no chance of winning is right up my alley…
Arai is also a man who has won various things on top of that.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:57

>>96Speaking of which, Baki’s mom was that kind of person too…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:16

>>93It’s because it’s a way of life where I can’t be my true self.
I also respect the head office in the same way.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:55Yeahx1

But I personally don’t dislike the Musashi arc too much.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:55

The Musashi arc was originally supposed to end with the headquarters being protected, but I think it became strange after they recklessly let someone die.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:56

It was shocking that the guy being interviewed in the Musashi chapter was killed by Musashi in his recollection.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:57

I don’t really dislike the current Jack arc.
There have been quite a few hiatuses this year, but the flow of the story itself is not slow.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:57

I love the interactions between Araï and Yūjirō.
Upon closer consideration, it makes me think that Yu-chan is still passionate despite having that character in the timeline.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:57Yeahx2

Even though the attack imagined like a whip with a skeletal structure doesn’t affect me at all in the scorching time.
I thought someone must have lost their memory when they started saying that whipping works.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:00

>>100The Mach punch was working normally, and I was probably using my sleep to recover from damage.
Later, it only seems like he was just joking around and sleeping without taking any damage since it’s only portrayed from Pikuru’s perspective.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:38

>>111Pickles was unable to move for almost 10 seconds.
I wanted it to be interpreted as Koki’s victory from the top of the ring.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:40

>>181Well, if we have a rematch, it seems like Kakuki could win.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:42

>>184(Berserk Arm of the Broken Spell)

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:58

Yuu-chan’s character changes depending on the day, the place, and the situation.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:58

The sumo chapter also started a while after the author passed away.
I feel like there are quite a few things that make me think, “Is that what it is?” when I read this magazine.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

If anything, the sumo section wasn’t so boring when it came to battles with the regular rikishi.
I really want to ask Sukune and Keihatsu what they wanted to do beyond Araijr.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

Mahomed Alai Style Kenpo!

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

It’s said that the Inoki-Ali match was a mediocre fight, but I think there was something only they could understand, especially considering that Ali took the trouble to give Inoki his own theme song as a gift.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

I was trying to treat him well until I realized I couldn’t win against Jack…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

It’s pretty clear what Pickle and Musashi wanted to do.
It’s the loneliness of an overwhelming strong person with values that no one can understand.
If you include Yujiro, it’s three times.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)00:59

The Musashi arc looks like a masterpiece when you watch key points in videos posted by the Baki official account, but…
If you do it all at once in the original work…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:00

>>110I still get taken down by ogres normally, and I’m confused about why guardian characters started appearing.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:00Yeahx1

The Musashi chapter is still readable up until Musashi goes around killing police officers.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:01Yeahx1

>>112Getting in the car and freaking out like crazy, too.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:03

>>112I think it would have been better if it had blended into modern times.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:01

Pickle’s story about Kakuki was good, but…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:12

>>114The Pickle saga, in the end,
“Baki-chan, who defeated Pickle, whom no one else could beat, has no choice but to face Oga Papa!”
I think this is a conversation about doing that, but wasn’t it originally heading in that direction after winning against Oliva?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:01

I don’t get what’s so funny, it’s just crap, crap.
Even in situations like that, the allure of being drawn in to read it is quite frustratingly interesting.
If it were completely uninteresting, I wouldn’t have to be disappointed.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:06

>>115Each part definitely has its interesting moments, but often when it ends, I find myself going “hmm.”
It might also be that the past was too perfect.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:02Yeahx4

Since Musashi started killing people, it feels different, doesn’t it?
I understand the reasoning that you’re killing because it’s being demanded, but there is no heart in it.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:02Yeahx2

>>118I think all that is the fault of that old bastard Tokugawa.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:42

>>118What does it mean to protect?
What are you going to do if you can’t protect the common people…?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:02

It’s become a habit to get bored just as much as I have a habit of starting with respect for peers and certain models.
Since the start of Baki, there hasn’t been anything like that, so it’s stable.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:08

>>119I think Jack’s stock revaluation is stable.
I wish they would return the art style to that of the Baki era.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:02

There are hardly any characters that are treated as well as Hanayama.
Well, it’s just that compared to the others, I’m treated better, but it’s still worse than in my heyday…

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:05Yeahx3

>>120No matter how much damage you take, if you stand tall like a hero, it will turn into a special victory scene that feels like a great match…

Netflix’s anime has an intense fighting scene between the Arai and Baki in the opening!

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:06

>>122
Isn’t it a scam…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:03Yeahx1

Pickle is unfortunate because a twist like “Pickle is your delusion” in a fake trailer would definitely be more interesting.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:04

I feel like I was treated as a sad monster with different values, but I don’t think that in the age of Musashi, people were killing each other without any laws to such an extent.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:09

>>125At one point, Musashi was better than Yuu-chan and should have been easier to communicate with.
For some reason, it became a strange situation where the police moved after leaking information about the fierce killing…

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:04

There probably isn’t anyone who thought the police could win against Musashi; it’s really absurd.
The specs are doing the same thing in a shorter and flashier way.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:04

“Retsu Kaiou, who absolutely won’t let go of his martial arts, was great, right!”

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:07Yeahx1

I think it was a mistake to revert Jack to a doping and biting character after all.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:09

>>131Aren’t you using German a bit excessively?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:16

>>135If someone with excessively long arms and legs takes your back and German suplexes you, there’s nothing you can do.
It seems to be a rational and thorough Jack-like.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:16

>>131The “Kamadou” is just a degraded version of a pickle.
No matter how much you reinforce a dental crown, it will only become a flag that can come off.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:08Yeahx1

Everyone sought too much of an image of Musashi as a swordsman.
Although he dreams of success.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:10

It was really pointless that the old man died and came back to life only to win in martial arts.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:11Yeahx1

The style is something the person cannot control, so there’s nothing that can be done about it.
The otherworldly realm of the Gondo people is stable because there are examples from its peak period.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:12

It was disappointing at the time that it wasn’t Nomura, but just a regular Gaia who was the master at the headquarters.
It’s strange how, considering the treatment and strength shown in the childhood arc, it feels like Shikolsky was just unusually strong when he was getting beaten up.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:13

I truly don’t know what I wanted to do; that’s the fierce boxing chapter.
Isn’t that the only one where the punchline was completely skipped, even though it’s a sub-episode that isn’t about the main character?
Well, I do quite like Smoky Joe, but…

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:13Yeahx2

It was tough to see a newly introduced character with a smug smile defeating regulars.
I thought it might be a simple thank-you visit, but when considering the total, no one benefited.
Baki-chan’s girlfriend was kind of tough too, so we faded out.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:16

Boxing, as a martial art, is easily understood as an indicator of strength and is therefore often utilized next to Muay Thai.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:17

I think Musashi has a better ending than Pickle, despite everything.
There is definitely a proper story.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:18

Muay Thai is treated particularly poorly in the strongest tournament, and it’s laughable.
Even a world champion who just suddenly appears (a passerby who didn’t participate in the tournament) gets toyed with by Yujiro, which makes me skeptical about whether something happened between the author and Muay Thai.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:20

I think it’s a style where you can create fatal wounds with bites, so you can make them guard against strikes and then use arm grabs or counter grabs to the face with kicks.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:20

I used to think that characters like Garen and others with original inspirations were pretty carelessly used and discarded, but Tough was on a whole different level.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:21

>>151That said, Tuff was handling Gracie-related matters very carefully.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:21

In other words, the headquarters told Musashi and everyone that this is not an era where murder is acceptable, so they demonstrated a modern way of fighting with weapons, and Musashi agreed to it.
It’s bad that everyone around is pushing Musashi to kill like in the Warring States period!!

158: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:23

>>152After all, it’s really Reit-san’s fault, isn’t it?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:21

The basic personality is filled with worthless people, so if we lose, the follow-up won’t work and our charm will be halved…
In that sense, they have a strong backbone and a good personality.
The popularity of Hanazawa, with his unparalleled grip attack, continues to grow stronger.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:22Yeahx1

>>153It makes me think that Koki and the headquarters are all people of high character who maintain their dignity.
It feels like Kiryuu and my dad.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:22

A person of character doesn’t derive joy from beating others down, which is why they don’t appear in fighting manga.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:23

>>155First of all, it’s not that kind of era anymore, so stop acting all cool, that was addressed in the Musashi chapter…
Everyone kept being arrogant, but are those guys stupid?

166: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:25

>>155As expected, your reading choices are quite biased, aren’t they!?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:22

I remember feeling disappointed by the drop in quality from the relatively interesting Daikai-sai arc to the Arai Jr. arc.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:23

I think the concept of a battlefield being ever-present is one that can lead to injury when touched in a martial arts manga.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:23

Jack was seriously cool.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:24

The part where Arai Jr. constantly gets beaten up until reaching there wasn’t particularly interesting either…

165: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:24

>>162Well, personally, I felt that was safe.
I personally like the way of losing to Jack.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:24

Katsumi seems to have started talking about the one-armed original after the scorching moment, and it feels like he is troubled by attaching or handling Retsu’s arm.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:27

>>163I want you to listen calmly.
I’m having trouble dealing with characters other than Katsu.
There are drawbacks to long-term serialization, but it’s painful that there are frequent discrepancies in character interpretation between the author and readers…

164: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:24Yeahx7

When the attacker says “the battlefield is always there,” it suddenly sounds lame, doesn’t it?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:25Yeahx1

>>164In short, I’ll do things my own way, so please bear with it…

168: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:26

>>167“I’ll survive even if I have to lick a butthole! But having that mentality and actually doing it are two different things…”
Well, even if Ikari does that, his charm won’t disappear.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:26Yeahx1

>>167It’s cool if you use it like that, where I won’t do it like Hanayama, but it’s fine if you attack me…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:27

>>169The headquarters’ practical scenario exercise has begun.
No, no, if we go any further, it will turn into a fight to the death!
Scenario-based training? Well, I also like the kind of thing that goes like that.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:27

>>164Yuu-chan is really uncool.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:29Yeahx2

>>173Yes

170: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:27

Doppo-chan was attacked while she was feeling elated herself, but just barely safe.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:28Yeahx3

>>170This guy hasn’t grown mentally at all since then, has he?

177: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:29Yeahx1

>>170Well then, it’s okay if Shibukawa was splashed with hot water too…

174: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:28

Oliva, who was treated like Mr. Unko Jiro, is gradually becoming weaker.
I liked that he loved his fat girlfriend.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:29Yeahx2

>>174If it’s just about power, I’m stronger than Yujiro, but overall, it would be better to say Yujiro is superior.
The author cannot be satisfied unless they make Yujiro number one in everything.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:31

Well, it’s fine because Yu-chan is Yu-chan, but what is this with Baki-chan…?

180: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:36

Did Arai-kun come out after this?

182: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:39

The whip strike works well, so if you had learned from Baki and used the Mach whip strike, you could have won, Katsumi.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:40

It’s true that Duppo and the Master are lame, but I think if Arashi Jr. had awakened and had an amazing match with Baki afterwards, people wouldn’t have said that as much, so it’s Arashi Jr.’s fault.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:41

>>183Doppo and the master have somehow stuck with this character from that time and have been uncool ever since…

188: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:43

If you’re going to go straight into a parent-child fight after easily defeating Arai, I can understand that, but if it takes 30 volumes in the end…
Isn’t it good to have a good match with Arai?

189: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:46Yeahx1

What was Arai Jr. has been debated continuously from that time until now.
The prevailing theory is that Itagaki lost interest.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:52Yeahx2

>>189It’s always like that, isn’t it?

194: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:55

>>191Despite being older, there is also a lack of motivation, right, Dr. Itaigaki?

190: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:51

There is also a theory that thought of a strong portrayal in boxing was not convincing.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:53

I think it would have been a good question about strength if Kozue had ended up dating Jr.
Usually, if the heroine ends up with a rival who suddenly appears, it causes an uproar.
If it’s Kozue, then it’s fine.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:53

The fight between Arai Jr. and various opponents wraps up easily against Baki, which is quite terrible.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:58

>>193When Poison was resurrected at the Great Arena in a reversal, it was a great performance, though.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:59

The thread image shows someone just getting beaten up, but Musashi is being treated like a toy and it’s just too bleak.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)01:59

It feels like after this, fighting without power that only results in a concussion is no longer valued.
Something revived in the Pickle vs. Baki battle, but…
