Baki Dou (2018) - Ch. 39 - Versus Komusubi Honoo

[MangaDex]

 

[kazamakj]

So the regular scrubs first to fight the sumo team.

 

[FunZed]

This test-match is soo boring. Wanna see Katsumi with new hand, where is Baki and others?

 

[Liquidxlax]

So, is it just gonna be a chapter for each sumo to pound down a mob before we get to see the good stuff?

 

[Rathendar]

yaaaay...
each chapter is a showing of how the sumo team beats down previously unshown 'experts' to prove they're dangerous. great.

sigh. wish they'd have just crammed it all into one, really.

 

[Cloneable]

Itagaki devoted the entire Ali Jr arc to basically wanking off the idea that boxing could never beat MMA, and hes now doing an arc about how fucking sumo would beat MMA.

 

[Cyoteblack]

He dunked that man!

 

[sawr]

Old man, srsly, you shouldn't be surprise at anything at this point. You already witness much more powerful fighter in all previous arc.

I think keisuke just wants everybody to like and appreciate sumo because he probably just got into it too. I still don't see how anybody in this arc will be able to pose a serious threat to baki in the way pickle and musashi did. Weak follow up tbh so far

 

[lostallday]

keisuke probably just saw the Hinomaru Sumo OP one day and was like..."damn...sumo tho..."

 

[Blueberry_McFuckerson]

"Raging Bull is not an interesting movie"

Haha, never stop talking shit, translator.

 

[ghostkun]

I always thought stuff like this and Hinomaru was part of some kind of national push to revive sumo's fortunes, specifically to get more ethnic Japanese as champion rather than Mongolians.

 

[EminentLine]

I fucking want that Hanayama shirt.

 

[man]

i guess this is like the convicts arc but now they're sumo wrestlers

 

[Menhir]

It's a great character study, fuck you

 

[spicypeppers]

@EminentLine Me too. It looks amazing.

 

[Garnt69]

Reminds me of that Sumo Manga, where the protagonist is a small kid.

 

[quitelot88]

Fool, only Japan's martial arts can win on manga.

 

[BasilD]

Is it just me or is the way his grip changes between pages 18 and 19 strange?

 

[kokeko]

that's a hell of a shirt
