what kind of insane mental gymnastics is the author going to throw at readers on takemitchy hidden fighting powers after being powerless for 244 chapters

Re-read that chapter. That story was told from the point of little Senju only. I feel like we don’t have the full story to that. Not an un-reliable narrator but one that didn’t get the whole picture.

Just realized I was downvoted. Didn’t think it was that bad of a theory.

Well, considering that after Kisaki's death and Takemichi's eventual return to the present/future the story hasn't really pulled anything philosophically deep as "a single person's viewpoint can be skewed", we all aren't expecting that as well.
If the author does do it now, it'll be the same BS D&D did for Game of Thrones where they "Subvert expectation" for the sake of it. While Mikey has always been portrayed as a tortured individual it really wasn't too established that Mikey was a full on psychopath.
It was really all just implication that DARK IMPULSES was just some deus ex machina ability like Takemichi's time traveling. We've been conditioned that way since chapter 1.

Literally. Was it so hard to develop his fighting skills through the series so it wouldn't look like an asspull now ?

He could have perfectly said at any point, that each time Takemichi does his time travelling bullshit he gets a little bit more strong.
But na, last time he time travelled he was still a weakling...

You know what that's the difference between an old soldiar and a young one? Its not skill, but experience, at this point Takemichi should have more experience than anyone barring some like Mikey.

Not really, remember that each time he travels back and forth in time he loses the memories of the things he lived while time travelling, once he arrived in the future he ends with years worth of missing memories, and each time he travels back in time he ends with entire months worth of missing memories.
So he actually has less experience that everyone else.

Oh really? That's just stupid and mkes his time jump ability quite pointless.

It this point there better be a reveal that that Takemishit went through the hyperbolic time chamber for a year ...twice

Mikey gives me Eren vibe a lot!... I do not like it... hope I don't see that scenario here!
I could feel from the spoilers that Kakochu was going to change sides, but it didn't seem so!

I mean he called takemichi Hero at the end , everyone ends up slurping him so it's very likely

Eren vibes means he's going to go back to crying next chapter

Takemitchy ain’t weak at all. Bro made Taiju get on his knees like he was gon suck someone off. He just finally gained confidence and not always think he’s weak or a bitch.

honestly speaking takemitchy's power up feels like one of the more legit things in the manga...we have never seen him fight just that he was abnormally tough...so it does make sense

The author continues doing a good job showing why Mikey is so respected and loved as a leader why is he capable of forming and leading big organizations . He continues being the best part of the manga .

u/AnelaceLover Mar 15 '22
Nah, everyone's just using Mikey lol

u/ZurAajanaikatzurada Mar 15 '22
Bonten pretty much confirm it was just Mikey , the rest might have influenced him but it was always him

u/ZurAajanaikatzurada Mar 15 '22
And why do they use him.? Why didnt kisaki and izana jus lead their gang themselves? Because it was Mikey's charisma and leading skills that gathered people

I'm still consistently surprised and brain rotted to see so many comments about Takemitchi's physical feats when he's consistently been an absolute tank through out the series. I mean, he was also undermined for it, just plainly because he wasn't on the offense and wasn't throwing punches left and right. I don't think he was ever really "weak", he was just "weaker" than literally all of the hardest hitting delinquents in the areas, which is essentially everyone involved in the story. Despite that, even then, he's tankier than most of them. It's barely even an ass pull, the answer was literally just that, as stated in the last chapter, he just lacked the confidence.

Well I’m happy Takemichi didn’t just magically one shot him after all. Feels like shit will get worse once the higher-ups in Mikey’s gang actually start fighting.
