It's true I did mix the two generic stories... My bad
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Hahahaha... this happens a lot this season
I watched ep3 Rakudai today and when that hooded guy showed up (you couldn't see his face and this show had them in these clothes too) I was like: "Oh... this must be that guy with the huge axe that keeps pressing the girl to fight him... wtf is he doing?"
When they revelead his face I realized that I was thinking about a totally different show. (well... different in name)
It feels as if they did this on purpose, to make fun of us and how we bother to watch the same old bullshit again and again. (which is true of course)
While One Punch Man simultaneously shits on everything else you watch.
It is probably intentional. If one came after the other, they would be accused of copying the former. At least now the viewers can clearly see that the genre just lacks originality fundamentally instead of thinking that one of the shows is a mere copycat.
Peace.
Are you accusing Kray of having terrible taste?
Peace.
HS - Episode 05
------------------------------
I didn't expect Toudou to be #1. I expected her to be somewhere lower down the line given she's "just" super-speed.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Neither of those two used their their real strength in the match. It was still, probably, a good show for the audience, but that's all it was.
I hate the MC's sister, btw, which is why it's so jolly he's not really looking for her, even if he eagerly listens to any rumours and bits of information. The little we have seen of her made her look like some know-it-all who simply decided what is best for Ayato with no regard to his own opinion. It's even worse because it's obvious he trusted her completely. Now, then, he's being massively held back the seal. You can of course imagine that he will become stronger if he has to cope with a handicap, but to be realistic it's no good if he's facing other monsters.
Super speed is usually enough to kill everything, unless they have magical defensive auras or iron skins, and rightfully so.
Peace.
You can also read their movements, either because they use rehearsed patterns or because your attacks limit their options.
If Ayato went easy on Toudou, he really shouldn't have. He saved no-one by losing that duel.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Nah. It's better he didn't display his real skills in front of that gallery (not to mention it would have guaranteed nothing since Toudou was definitely not giving it her 100% either). Some were even recording the match. He'll have much easier time in a couple of early matches when the opponents don't know what to expect. It was a pointless duel anyway. If the girl is so super powerful, nothing's forcing her to accept abuse from the geezer. She could end it any time she wanted. Ayato simply didn't know she's the number 1 fighter, and he got ahead of himself in his white knighting. If he really wanted to make a point, he should have kicked the man's ass, not Toudou's. What's the point of fighting the victim instead of the abuser?
Just watched this.
Ayato did his best, but he was obviously at a disadvantage because of his time limit, and that's what caused him to rush at the end. Not only that, Ayato is used to real combat and did not pay enough attention to his badge, like the secret agent side character said in his commentary.
Kirin too had a huge disadvantage. She managed to defeat Ayato without clashing swords with him. Do you know how ridiculously hard that is? If not, ask a kendo master to defeat someone without ever crossing swords, with both parties knowing that condition. LOL yeah, Kirin is number 1 for a reason.
Peace.
@Kraco: But now he shows everyone he's as fast as the #1, that he might have a time limit (if they watched closely enough), and the only good outcome is that Toudou thinks better of him.
@shinta: The Shadow Star guy said Ayato also dodged every attack from Toudou without going for a parry/block instead. That's putting himself on equal footing with Toudou (defense-wise), while having a time limit. Throwing away your advantage willingly is going easy.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
You got that the other way around. Kiri avoided all contact at the advise of her uncle because it would cut her sword. Ayato never had such a handicap.
Also, about the translation "Amagiri is still not going all out with Ser-Vesta," that's just plain wrong. What the sidekick said was, "Amagiri is unable to use Ser-Vesta to its maximum potential."
Peace.
Which is precisely why the princess told him to avoid extra duels serving no purpose. It's not like he could have fought without giving any hints to the audience, especially since he apparently still wanted to win and the opponent was the number 1. Actually that quite funnily shows how self-centered Ayato is: He hasn't even bothered to check out who are the strongest contestant in his own school, yet he's eagerly butting in when he sees strangers arguing. So, in fact he's not at all interested in who he's (supposedly) helping or why, he's just satisfying his own testosterone powered need to interfere.
Arguing or slapping faces (abusing one might say)... I think the distinction needs to be made.
If the one being slapped is a stronger fighter than you are and very obviously stronger than the slapper, what business could you possibly have to interfere? Well, other than in the "get a room, don't make a public spectacle" kind of way. One thing is clear: You aren't defending or saving anybody. Unless, of course, Ayato wants to claim the geezer's role and take care of Toudou for the rest of her school days (and possibly the rest of her days, being the gentleman he is). Poor Julis in that case!
There's simply no intelligent excuse for Ayato not to know after all this time. He isn't anymore a transfer student of the same day. He's simply totally disinterested unless it momentarily suits his ego.
Hmm, you're right. In that case, why did Princess conclude that Ayato could read attack/defense patterns when Yabuki said Toudou's been dodging his attacks?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
No, you got that wrong too. Princess concluded that Yabuki could read the attack/defense patterns, indicating his hidden martial prowess.
Peace.
Ah. Well that makes sense now.
