Alright, come at me anytime. …What!? It’s muscle…. But listen, I don’t hold a grudge against you. So once the fight is over, this call should also be over, I appreciate it. I get it. It’s not a kill-or-be-killed situation. 181 cm, 82 kg, 170 cm, 60 kg … Is this guy a bodybuilder? Not all rumors are just exaggerations. Here we go.

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:04Yeahx1

I have the impression that there are more works where a small protagonist defeats a big enemy.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:07

There are sometimes cases of giants or those with physical talent being complete amateurs.
It’s interesting that it’s a complete set of mind, technique, and body, and on top of that, it’s a female.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:07

Rice shoulder

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:08

Yabako increased the number of original works again, huh?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:10

Isn’t Yabako way too into underground organization conflicts?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:11Yeahx6

A fight is all about weight, right…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:15

>>5There are various elements like training and techniques…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:13

I wonder if they tear off buttons every time they fight.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:17Yeahx7

Wasn’t the Air Master relatively tall?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:17

What about Iron Wind?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:18

It’s difficult to create a story without the protagonist having any weaknesses.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:18

Wasn’t Jubei Sato also on the bigger side?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:20

>>11It’s normally big and heavy, but the surroundings are even more amazing.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:19Yeahx14

Well, if the big and muscular one wins, it’s too obvious and doesn’t make for an exciting story…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:20

Kinnikuman

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:21Yeahx2

>>14Kinnikuman is smaller compared to other superhumans.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:23Yeahx1

>>18Isn’t Suguru in the category of having a good build?
Above Suguru, there are giant types like Buffalo Man.
Because it’s a non-human type like 100 tons, it’s more of a giant type or something like that.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:20Yeahx1

If men can’t compete when there’s a two-class difference, then this is impossible.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:21

Fist of the North Star

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:21

JoJo Part 1 and Part 2

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:22

The match between Tanba and Tsutsumi from Garou Densetsu.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:23

With this muscle and this height, isn’t 82 kg quite an exaggeration?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:25

Suguru is quite clearly depicted as small in the story.
It feels like an evaluation that has power for that.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:27

I feel like Suguru is quite big even among the Justice Superhuman Army.
Menya Bro Jr. has thin noodles, Warz is a bit of a slim muscular type, and Terry is small in stature.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:31

Isn’t there a concept of a standard body type, regardless of whether someone is tall or short?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:31

The noodles are over 2 meters tall, the same size as Giant Baba, and even the small Terry is 190 cm tall, while Suguru is small.
Both Bromo and Wars, as well as Robin, are over 2 meters tall.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:33

Well, if the bigger one always wins, it’s too predictable, so it really requires a lot of technique to make the story interesting.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:35

>>26When a large character on the ally side loses, they suddenly look pathetic.
It’s going to fall into a losing route…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:34

Terry should be relatively well-built, but…
The Terry family cannot use the techniques of the Muscle Tribe because they are not well-built.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:37

I feel like there are more cases where the smaller character, being the protagonist, is being excluded because they’re too common.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:37Yeahx2

To be honest, it feels like Suguru and Mantaro have much less character development considering their significance in the story.
Mantarou is 176 cm tall and weighs 83 kg.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:38Yeahx2

170cm 60kg is just about the same as me.
Even if the world were turned upside down, I can’t win against someone who looks like this…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:48

Motivation

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:51

Ryuu from the street doesn’t look like he weighs 85 kilograms at 175 cm… his build makes it so that two-dimensional characters are inevitably like that.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:53

If it’s over 180 with this mass, it must be 110 kilograms or more.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)16:59

Mass is power.
It is built on muscles that are sufficient in both speed and flexibility.
In other words, having more muscle mass makes you stronger.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:04

In Dragon Ball, there are stories where big guys become fodder or get too much muscle and end up weaker, but after Goku’s growth, I feel like Goku is tougher than most of the bosses.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:04

A thrilling action scene where a small soldier takes down a large clumsy opponent one after another.
It’s a classic since the time of Sakae Sanshirou.
However, recently, as sports coaching modernizes, the number of brutish athletes who rely on their physique has decreased.
A big guy being normally strong feels more realistic.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:04

Because I’m a girl, I’m exaggerating my weight.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:14Yeahx1

A build of 82 for a height of 181 isn’t correct, is it?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:21

>>40Is it about 100 kilograms?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:15

Is your weight the same as mine?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:28

>>41What is your height?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:33

You can tell about this muscle even before taking it off.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:44

It seems like the battle is going to be of a lower level than the girls’ delinquent manga or Kengan, and even lower than the one in “Ikkatsu Senkin.”
Deflation writer, what a dangerous person!

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:46

You’re still light as always.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/10(Tue)17:56

In reality, height and weight are definitely strong, aren’t they?
But it’s a manga…
