Wait, Payne really didn't die, right? That was just imagination or whatever?

Memetobe: On anoher matter: Nice one ! Well, I think this pretty much confirms my suspicions. The people in the Bakiverse are a bunch of 12 years old. A being that survived for thousands if not millions of years and maybe the first and only successful human clone with the resurrected persona of a man who dies hundreds of years ago. Let's see what happens when they fight ! What the fuck, Japan. A bunch of fights that actually happened in Pride FC suddenly make total sense. I'd do the exact same if I was in Tokugawa's shoes. What worth is luck and science and technology if you can't have fun with it? |

DOSUKOI! Maybe this is why Memetobe trained up with smoke bombs and ninja weapons. He couldn't stomach his defeat to E. Honda. Perhaps Baki went home and became a family man... |

I think to remember Mememote put his own power scale once. From 1 to 100. He said Baki was 110 and he was 60 or 70 being very generous,... but that he was 140 or something like that with weapons.

I remember that. Where would Yujiro and Musashi rank on that scale? Although Motobe said it was from 1-100, it theoretically goes to 200 (or more). I guess I'd place Musashi at 175 and Yujiro at 200. Being able to stop earthquakes with your fist gets you bonus points, right? |

Yeah, I would in fact say Baki on his peak (with that I mean, when he was properly motivated to go against his father) he was probably a 180-190. The Baki nowadays has lost motivation and is not a "warrior" anymore... he enjoys fighting and gets bored without it, but is not the same as before.... hey, that just sounds like Ippo actually, haha... look at that, maybe Baki has gotten "weaker" too and once he change that he will begin his "Dou" era... |

I mean, Baki only lost one fight right? And he wasn't fully prepared to fight one of the best fighters in existence. Musashi, so far, beat people Baki was capable of beating, so we can't really say that Musashi is *that* much stronger than Baki.

In term of raw strength, the only contest of strength we saw from Musashi was when he and Yujiro were weighting on the sword and in the end the one lifting the other was Musashi but he used both hands while the Ogre used only one. Don't forget the strength contest against Pickle:  |

True, i forgot that he was overpowering Pickle in raw strength that chapter.

I wouldn't say he was overpowering him in strength. They were having a "grip strength" competition of sorts.
Pickle charges into Musashi's grip and pushes him back, then Musashi pushes Pickle back to an "even" position. Then Musashi just headbutts him to get out of dealing with it, and pretty much immediately asks if they can reschedule the match because he doesn't wanna do it without a real sword.
I mean, he 'cheated' to get out of seeing the competition through. Regardless of whether he did that out of pragmatism or disinterest, he didn't blatantly "overpower" Pickle.

Nice. So Motobe's plan was to use the ancestral martial art of drunken bar fights.

Thanks for the latest chapter! Nice. So Motobe's plan was to use the ancestral martial art of drunken bar fights. Exactly. In an upcoming chapter, we will learn that Motobe's teacher is Bas Rutten. Motobe's bottle attack reminded me of Dorian's fighting style. Dorian used bottles and broken glass when he destroyed Katou, who he criticized as naive. The poor bastard even got a bottle twisted into his face. Motobe's style also reminds of Garouden, where several characters would use their dirtiest tactics to win any kind of an advantage in a street brawl. The only thing that's unclear is how Motobe managed to beat Musashi in a one-on-one weapon draw. Maybe the translations will help clarify this? |
