>It's a gimmick to hype up the outcome, although a bit cheap
That's part of the problem. It's cheap and if I'm invested in the fight (I was and am for the reread) I don't need to be spoiled. For the first fight it was just pointless, I didn't like Chiba and knew the first time around he would lose anyways cause obviously. The timer was a nice concept at least. For this fight it's super obvious but let me spoiler it anyways. It's Cosmo on the ground. The only mystery now is if he wins while passing out or not. Which really fucks with the shock aspect of this fight and the brutalizing he goes through. I'm able to look back on it well not remembering this but having a shitty preview pisses me off. I don't need to be hyped with the end of a match if I give a shit about at least one of the characters fighting. If I was a massive Akoya fan I would be even more sore after this match. If I was a massive Cosmo fan I'd be pissed about what's essentially a cheap subversion fake out ending premonition near the start of the match misleading me. Since I close to equally like both it's just bad.

Zone is such a dumb concept for a trump card. Not in the sense that it’s OP or anything, but in the context of a fighting manga like this it’s just one of those things that feels like a “no shit” move that any experienced fighter can do.
It’s just baiting your opponent into overcommitting to an attack and slipping through when they’re completely focused but that’s just…the basic concept of a bait and counter. It’s also something that feels like the opponent could easily counter bait because how do you know they’re completely committed to their attack? It’s not like they flash red like a video game character when throwing their punch.
As far as character gimmicks go it feels super low on the list but is hyped up as this amazing thing only a prodigy like Cosmo can do.

Inconceivable but then again most Kengan Fighters are ass and Cosmo is a cream of the crop Fighter so it was probably never a big deal until now

>>286480719
Cosmo is like a secondary main protagonist so he wins fights he has no business winning. Personally I'm bias as fuck so I would have taken even Adam beating him just as well

>>286480779
Muteba does it with a smile on his face so it's fine

Eh, he had him dead to rights, even muffled his mouth so he can't surrender. Akoya made Akoya lose.
>>
>>286480818
Yeah I think that's a safe assumption to make. The only killers he's fought have been jobbers that didn't pose much of a threat to him, and the strong guys he knows (Waka, Seki) aren't the types to go for super nasty moves

>>286480351
>>286481367
I think it's doing it in the most important tournament that's the problem. Hanafusa got around it cause it was circumventing instead of breaking and he lost anyways. While using a second mind in a way like this while being the ceo directly perpetrating it is far more of a deal to get ostracized for. Some ceos might respect it out of principal but I don't think the majority would be happy or even if fine would defend a rival.

>>286481546
This wasn't about the hiyama communication stuff, this was about running around the arena.
>>
>>286481405
It's why Seki is such a fan favorite in-universe, he knows what's up and plays into it because he's a Pro-WRASSLER
Kengan Matches have large groups of people watching not just to be witnesses or to strike up deals with others but because it's entertaining and what's worse than outright cheating to these guys is being a fucking bore, who cares if you won if it came down to an otherwise boring match because of your fighter
>>
>>286478633
So, without Inaba there Cosmo would have lost and probably Ohma too later?

>>286480641
Laughed out loud
>>
>>286481780
I think Cosmo would have survived "somehow" which would then lead to Akoya going off the rails eventually. This would either lead to the same ultimate outcome, or if we say that Akoya does win, he won't be taking instructions from Hiyama anymore. Ohma by then has unlocked full Niko bullshit, so he wins anyways.
>>
>>286481945
round 3 ohma is nearly dead so i'm not sure he can do it
>>
Ok I will say Akoya should have won and him fighting Ohma fits much more tematically for the narrative
>>
>>286482281
Ohma vs cosmo doesnt have much narrative besides "2 up and coming fighters" and to show Ohma is way stronger now and also can grapple, but what would the narrative of Ohma vs akoya be? Also to the other anons, yes Ohma would rape akoya

I don't think R3 Ohma beats Akoya. Akoya's insane reaction time is a good counter for Demon's Bane, and he doesn't have all of Waka's insane strength to turn against himself. Akoya is more durable than he is purely strong, where Waka is stronger than he is durable.

I think it depends on how mentally unstable Akoya's become by R3 in this hypothetical scenario. Issue is that it becomes a bit of a retread of the Ohma vs Raian fight where Ohma uses 'techniques' to overcome a rampaging physically superior opponent.

Thats the point.
Akoya vs Muteba is the mirror match that should have happened, but this is a tournament so it didn't. Instead its just Akoya torturing a kid because he's psychotic.
>>
>>286485669
Somehow the majority of Serial Killers in this manga managed to avoid each other like the plague

>>286485669
That's the point. Cosmo might be an underground fighter, but he's no killer. He doesn't have it in him to do that
>>
>>286483408
If I'm not mistaken it was to get him killed because of a legal loophole.
>>286483676
I think the reason Inaba was so pissed at being compared to Meguro is because Inaba is a killer by trade rather than one by passion, and thus doesn't have the sadism Meguro does.

Image the state of Cosmo's ribs if Akoya had landed that counter

Tch, Inaba is just salty and judgmental of appearances. How could he have known that Meguro was a serial killer? Was he keeping up on 20 year cold cases like Akoya was? Inaba would've been 10 years old when Meguro disappeared. He would've had to remember his name and put it to his history, which even the announcers didn't. Inaba isn't even a real assassin anyways, just a lame 30 year old.

>Serial killer moment
Let us note that Meguro Masaki's killings took place under the time frame of about 5 days. 1 kill the first, 1 kill the third, 2 kills the fifth, There wasn't really a "cooling off" period between these kills. Most defined serial killers have times active over months to years to decades, some studies put the time active to a minimum of a month length for definition. It's arguable that Meguro Masaki isn't a "serial killer" as that's too deliberate and rude of a denomination. More accurately he would be a "spree killer" and did nothing particularly wrong because he's insane.

I still don't buy it that their gimmick is giving him any advantage. Her saying these things is taking way longer than Cosmo performing these brief actions. His slightly-better-than-regular reaction time means shit if her commands take longer than his opponent's actions. In fact, he should just fight purely on his reactions to Cosmo and would, at the very least, do just as well.

>>286486253
It is poorly communicated, but technically she doesn't actually TELL him the commands, instead she sends short Morse code signals to his ears that tell him what to expect and do (The BZZZ's). The text explaining the moves is for the readers benefit.

>>286486815
Is it really morse? Or just their own sound based vocabulary? Because morse would be even more convoluted. Relaying complex information in morse takes longer than just saying it.
This whole thing makes very little sense and just seems like a shoehorned setup for the "I was holding back his killing intent" twist. Because ultimately this scheme is just "I studied my opponent really well" with a bunch of extra steps. Might aswell have justice man be good at studying opponents and ditch the "superhuman reflexes" and "internal clock" gimmick.
>>
>>286487077
Morse code is stupid, but it'd be entirely feasible to encode x amount of potential fighter actions in a binary alphabet and make the messages efficient and short
Actually employing that to any useful degree is something that could only happen in anime where despite each punch being described as barely visible every commentator can remark on it
>>
Kengan used to be pretty technical. What happened to the series bros? Why did Omega go off the rail?

Actual boxers will do 1 - jab, 2 - right straight, 3 - left hook, 4 - right hook, 5 - left uppercut, 6 - right uppercut etc. Akoya has super reflexes so she can probably go double or even triple digits and that is enough numbers for almost every situation
>>
>>286488062
Cause he's picked up his leg like it's a chicken drumstick and just took a giant bite out of him and then chewed it
>>
>>286478849
Muscle can't grow from nothing, it either gets bigger or smaller so Cosmo actually permanently lost a chunk of his leg.

Yeah, but it's bizarre how she is better at analyzing fighting styles than the experienced fighter with superhuman reflexes, and how this implies fighting styles are all easily deterministic.

Pretty sure this will just become a common power in the future, like how a boss fight in a jrpg becomes a common mob later.
>>
>>286488880
She analyzes their breathing patterns iirc, her internal clock enables her to.
>>
>>286488880
The thing is she's not helping Akoya, she's giving him instructions so he doesn't fight on his own initiative because if he does he fights like an unhinged maniac. Akoya gets basically zero direct combat ability advantages from working with her

Why does Akoya fight in Kengan matches in the first place?
You know, I'm starting to understand his schizophrenia. Fighting in Kengan matches obviously doesn't have anything to do with justice but since he's doing it for whatever reason it must be justice. So "executing justice" on poor randos who end up fighting him is one big cope.
>>

Getting Hiyama's corp more power probably helps him with his punisherism.
>>
>>286489127
>>286489243
>>286498325
Akoya was getting helped by predictive movement and his custom style and would've KWAB'D Cosmo's zone if the impulse was perfect. That's reason enough for him not to fight like a maniac off rip and get zoned by a probably more effective grab.
>Why help Hiyama at all
She's bankrolling his vigilante work, obviously. And also controlling his information network as revealed in an extra I think. She's a massive help in his work. Why wouldn't he help her with important business decisions in the Kengan matches and brutally fuck her when asked?
