Maybe they should dig out Tanba from Garouden. He did beat up Terry Bogard. That’s GOT to count for something right? Ah, who am I kidding lol, he’ll probably get the Ali Jr. treatment.
Right. Techniques are tools used by the weak to overcome the strong, who simply rely on strength. To use a technique is basically admitting that your opponent is stronger, so you needed an assist. Aaaaand if I remember right…Pickle in turn used a technique when he fought Baki. Does that imply that Baki jobbed that last fight against papa?
^More like Itagaki fucked up that final fight in terms of plot consistency. Pickle was said to be outright stronger than Yuujirou during his entire arc, and by the time Baki fought Yuujirou at the end, he had forced Pickle to admit his weakness. Baki also had the Ogre Brain power up as well, yet still lost to Yuujirou. Horrible horrible writing.
Tons of stuff going on. New characters showing up, old characters showing up, relationship progress, character development, eye-candy…
Speaking of eye-candy, I’ve always felt Renka Ba was portrayed as being considerably more advanced in her martial arts studies than the other disciple class characters, but seeing her attack a master class opponent all care-free and cheerful really rams it home this chapter.
Man, every chapter of Breaker New Waves makes me look crazy like, “AWWWWW YEAH THAT NEXT CHAPTER SOME REAL SHIT ABOUT TO GO DOWN NIGGAAAAAAAA” and then it’s a chapter where they’re basically being all intense and talking to each other.
I’m just like, NAH YO. I want to see Shioon punch someone in the face!
*Edited: Going back through the chapters, he had to have learned the technique he used on Baki from somewhere else, haven’t read SoO in a long time. Still against Yuujirou he used no martial arts techniques, as he fought against Yuujirou right after he was locked up for raping that news reporter. This was immediately after his revival
I recall Pickle tan into some dude on the street upon which the two push their fast against one another and the dude did some twist where Pickle was flipped upside down. When he was sitting in the tree located within the military base, that was all he could think about. Shortly after, Yujirou appears and he uses that technique on him
