The logic is similar to a special forces platoon that is highly practiced with each other vs. a randomly thrown together special forces team (though each individual is still very skilled).Obviously, the team that practiced together, frequently, for years is going to do better in every single military scenario imaginable.
To add to that, I picture the "many times stronger" idea coming from things like, Kensei-ma being thrown by Sakaki for a punch that is many times stronger than Kensei-ma could pull off on his own.
Well this explanation makes more sense to me. Thanks, but I seriously hope that their team attacks can do some damage so that at least Apachai doesn't have a hole in his stomach or Kensei isn't wailed on by his brother.
Though I honestly thought that Master Boobies and Saiga would just clean house but I'm glad I'm wrong.
I'm sure they'll cover for each other's openings so that such things don't happen, but their opponents are elite masters so there is a chance that they could adapt quickly to how this fight will go down.
well, given that they have yet to be in-story acknowledged as being Hayato 2.0 or something like that Ganosuke guy, that is a relief I guess. still, they'll probably be the toughest out of the bunch to deal with.
dante, just wanted to let you know that I still read your posts even if I don't comment. I would like them (like on Facebook or reddit) if we had that option.
So, keep posting despite getting any feedback: I still enjoy reading your posts.
To comment, I like the direction the manga is currently going. I really like how the story seems to be coming together. Matsuena (the author) is doing well with his story writing ability, as of late. For those that think HSDK has poor writing and too much fanservice, I disagree. Sometimes, HSDK can be really good.
So about the current chapter, I think there are only 1-3 master class fighters among that group (the one Kenichi and co. just ran into on the ship). The rest are disciple class and possibly 1 expert class. I assume that Kenichi, in order to show his progress, will fight an expert class and barely win with his life.
I sure hope that Invincible Superman comes back to us. I hope it isn't in some stupid way where he is missing an arm or something silly like that. I am okay with him being hurt very badly because he IS fighting 1 super master class and 1 Invincible Master (there are only 2 or 3 known Invincible Masters: 3 if you include giant tiits big woman). So it does bode well for Hayato if he comes out alive since he is:
1. Not fighting to kill (life saving fist or Katsujinken) which is a massive handicap compared to the Satsujinken (killing fist).
2. He is against 2 high level master classes.
3. Their power is doubled because they use weapons, according to Sakaki.
For Hayato to even compete with one shows he is absurdly strong. If he fought with Satsujinken, I am sure he would have already defeated them. He doesn't. Which is sad. 🙁 Really, they should fight to kill sometimes. That's just my own personal moral standard.
Similar to the reason why Batman should have killed the Joker many times.
wow, thank you very much, dadudemon.
as for the weapons users on the ship, that actually could happen, but some of them bear a remarkable resemblance to the sihlouettes shown when the Executioner Blade group was shown and since they had to have known that Ryozanpaku wouldn't be fooled for long, they can't risk having any disciple or expert class weapons users there to defend the ship since it is clearly very important to Yami (either as a whole or simply important to the Nine Fists).
as for Hayato, I doubt he'll be too injured if/when he comes back. for one thing, during the brief time it showed him and Ganosuke fighting, both seemed uninjured despite fighting for a whole week and the whole point of that fight is simply to keep Hayato detained, not kill him. such an attempt to do so would have probably destroyed the whole island in the process since then he wouldn't be so liable to hold back to defend his own life.
Well the Yami incident was....interesting. For a second I was kind of expecting Master Boobies to wail on the Ryozanpaku team but it looks like that didn't happen.
Oh and as for the people on the ship. I hope that they're aren't any master other than the guy with the scythe because they all look kind of young based on their shadowy figures...would kind of prefer Shigure to be the youngest master at the moment but that's just me.
nah, I doubt even she could wail on Ryozanpaku that easily. maybe on Sakaki and Apachai since they are the youngest of the lot and they probably have little experience fighting anyone like her, but Akisame and Kensei would have probably been able to hold her back a bit. a shame a fight didn't happen though.
they could be though. until we actually see their faces, we won't know if they are as young as Shigure or not.
If all the masters of the weapon division are on that ship then Shigure stands no chance.

Hayato is only fighting one master. The other guy was later seen at the meeting with Yami.

I thought with his words, here, that that meant they were both fighting Hayato for a week:

Nah he was just the bait for the trap.
Which really just makes the new Master look all the cooler.
aha, makes perfect sense. Master Moobies..... gotta remember that one.
and yes, it does indeed make the Ganosuke guy look cooler. he should be cool given that he is to the weapons world what Hayato is to the unarmed martial arts world. but if he is acknowledged as being an evil, weaponized Hayato, then I wonder just where exactly Mikumo (master Boobies) and Saiga stand on the power scale in the series in comparison....
wow, so Shigure may have to fight a few of those guys after all. and if she fails to take that one guy down (already forgot his name), then Kenichi and Miu are pretty much dead. given how tough that guy in the armor is, I can only guess how strong the other people there are, especially since that Raigou guy from before is there as well.... this should be a pretty good weapons fight.
and on a completely random note, that woman with the bow is probably the only woman in the series thus far with actual visible muscles from god knows how much training.
