Second what?

Damn, page 13 was intense!

That said, he had him by the face just afterward, why did he let him go? Same with when he was grappled, Rihito should be able to do a lot of damage once he gets his hands on any part of his opponent.
 
This sucks. Rihitto has been dunked in the entire series. He couldn’t get one win against this dumb jobber?
 
Rihito not winning the match is the true twist here, but it is actually quite reasonable and this chapter just continues to develop Rihito’s theme of still being in development. As Gensai said, he’s not going to catch up to fighters like Rei in just 2 years, and despite some people’s biases, ninja man is a skilled fighter with years of experience and some people just can’t help but let all his theatrics distract them from this point. He even established his own practical style of ninjutsu; while being the founder of a style doesn’t necessarily mean one’s fight intelligence is superior to one who just inherits and practices a particular martial arts lineage, it sets the floor high above a relative newbie like Rihito, and perhaps even Adam in this case, since they’re both in the same category of being formerly unskilled fighters who’ve picked up the important points of proper martial arts recently.

And to hell with anyone who says that we need to sympathize with a fighter to actually like their fights. Sekibayashi’s fight against Ohma was great, same as with Julius’ fight with Wakatsuki. We only needed to know them as the wrestling guy and as the steroids guy, but their fights were awesome.

At any rate, I’m expecting a draw here, since the knockdown win rule requires that the fighter be able to get back up in 10 seconds.
 
Ngl the outcome of this match makes a lot of sense. Unfortunate that he lost but the dude gave that guy a run for his money and seriously showed his strength. He nearly beat a guy with WAAYYY more years of experience than him and it just goes to show Rhitos potential and sheer strength. I'm happy with this chapter.
 
I'm not mad he lost, I'm mad that they dragged out this fight he was pretty much scripted to lose.
6 chapters for this.
