Baki Bread

>Shibukawa and Doppo won
>Katsumi has his flashy new arm so he's guaranteed to win
>Baki can't lose because he's Baki
>Sukune has been hyped the entire arc so he can't lose either.

Things aren't looking so good for Hanayama.

Katsumi is going to lose because he wasn't born in Japan.

Also his arm is chinese.

Imagine how small Yujiro would look here

What, WHAT IF Baki looses?

They're all going to win. This has happened many times, the prisoners, raitai, etc.

>Stronkest on earth.
>Loses to Mini Me.

Would be pretty funny, not lying.

pretty much impossible , he clowned on Sukune aready

Moral victory for sumo though.

Taller and heavier than Katsumi

Did Katsumi literally joined this arc just to test his new arm? It's kinda weird to see 2 Karate fight in 1 arc.
Or did I missed some Katsumi level up arc where he actually did something original that Doppo can't?

I figured out the secret of aiki guys, even though its sort of explained a bit

so shibukawa can't just lift huge guys, even though it almost looks like he does here for example. what he does is makes them jump like he did to kyogi, and then manipulates them while they're in the air and not rooted.

if you pay attention to their feet their actually jumping and not being lifted up.its like a knee jerk reaction that aiki exploits. if you look at the flashback where shibukawa first meets with aiki, he also involuntarily jumps when the master grapples him

Man, I thought you guys were just meme'ing about sumo wank. But literally every chapter has some character talk about how amazing japanese high sumo is.

to be fair I guess the sumo wank is hard for us to understand since we're not nips. I wonder if its tolerable if you're actually a Japanese reader

it's just damage control since they're going to get btfo, I fully expect doppo to say some shit like "I only won because this honorable man didn't want to touch the ground"

The problem isn't that we're not Japanese.
The problem is where we are in the story.
Hanayama has fought a dude who broke the statue of liberty in half and from being cut into ribbons by the Japanese God of Martial Arts.
Baki and Katsumi fought and hurt a creature that survived the bite of the strongest creature before Hanmas to ever live and the former fought the actual strongest creature to date, who has shown feats such as STOPPING A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE
Doppo has pushed Hanma Yujiro to try, and survived a point blank explosion to the face like it was just a mild inconvenience
And Shibukawa made a joke of a man who trains by keeping military cargo choppers in place.
Tell me why NORMAL SUMO should compare without resorting to initiated memes.

The point of the arc is that current sumo, while honorable, is incomplete. This is why Sukune wants to reform it. This was made even more obvious with Doppo vs Professor where the latter passed on a win and let himself get fucked because he was too strung up on sumo rules. There's literally no point in this if anyone in Baki's side loses.

>Tell me why NORMAL SUMO should compare
Because they are-
>without resorting to initiated memes.
Fuck.

>"I only won because this honorable man didn't want to touch the ground"
I can totally see it

"I won, but sumo didn't lose, because he didn't touch the ground."
"I won, but only because he tried to kick and punch instead of using sumo."

Katsumi is way above doppo in the power level ranking. Also they don't really fight in the same way, doppo is more technical while katsumi is stronger overall

Because they are normal sumo like doppo and shibukawa are normal karateka and normal aiki master.

Doppo had a draw against roland istaz master, retsu had a hard match against smoking joe who wasn't even world champion. These "normal sumos" are way stronger than irl sumos

Doppo and Shibukawa are very obviously special masters who have grown stronger and more knowledgeable by going against a variety of opponents around the world

There are a bunch of these Sumo who just do Sumo

Next is Hanayama?

>Katsumi says sumo won because it let some fat guy tank his mach punch POWERED BY IMAGINARY JOINTS
>Hanayama says sumo won because it let some fat guy tank his GRIP STRENGTH WHICH CAN RIP AN ENTIRE PACK OF CARDS
>Baki says sumo won because it let some midget imagine that he's really big.
>Nomi will end the arc giving a speech about how ancient sumo is the best thing ever.

Hanayami > Katsumi > Baki > Sukune, in that order.

So what's next after sumo tournament? I doubt the arc is over already.

The Karuta arc

Turns out Karuta masters have the greatest reflexes in the world and a group of them are practicing martial artists

Japanese culture really is amazing.

Hopefully user's idea of Isaac's martial art that he used to wrestle with Jesus.

>POWERED BY IMAGINARY JOINTS
AND 4000 YEARS OF CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS
