Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
Well, Sukune, who crushes coal into diamonds and stands above all other sumo wrestlers is the epitome of danger.
The other sumo dudes are getting swept right now. I mean, I unironically really enjoy Baki as a series so I'm fine with this development.
Also, if you've not seen it Sharp, you might want to look at Koukou Tekken-den Tough for a fight manga that's pretty no frills but has a surprisingly competent representation of grappling and a fairly strong focus on it that other manga do not. Might interest you?
It's considerably less silly than Baki.
Also, if people want a very silly series to read, look into Rooster Fighter. It's got strong One Punch Man energy but the main character is a buff chicken.
Like a literal chicken as in the animal.

Teppu is the one you're thinking of.
Though, I should caveat; Koukou Tekken-den Tough does have some magical realism grappling bollocks in it. Pro-Wrestlers are treated in an interesting way. It's... plausible but also a bit silly. Not Baki levels but it's nowhere near as grounded as Teppu was.
I'd say it's more realistic than Kengan Asura/Omega but less real than Teppu, if that helps ground you.
Gaaaah, yes. Must go read that one again.
Well, I've already watched the guy toss someone around by a nostril and get a cinderblock smashed over his head (doing nothing). So...I can handle some BS in the manga.Though, I should caveat; Koukou Tekken-den Tough does have some magical realism grappling bollocks in it. Pro-Wrestlers are treated in an interesting way.

It depends on how bad it is, and how much it is presented as 'reality' (I mean, Holyland was fairly realistic but had some stuff put forward by the author that was just...ugh, no).

Just to be the slightly dissenting voice (and I still watch and enjoy it), I’ve found that over the last few seasons 3-4 seasons, AoS has been scrabbling round for reasons to exist.
My main concerns are:
spoilers:end of spoilers
1. It seemed to completely lose direction after Ward died. For the nth time.
2. They can’t decide what to do with Coulson. He’s been dead and alive more times than 616 Jean Grey. It’s like they want to get rid of him but can’t.
3. In recent series they’ve ceased to be members of a spy organisation and just been Wacky-Friends-With-Ranks, bouncing around space, time, other dimensions, virtual reality etc. The title has seemed obsolete for a while, because they have nothing to do with SHIELD.
4. The sheer breathtaking inevitability and predictability of the ending of this final season is wearing a little. We’ve even now got Garrett, as they go forward in time gathering former enemies, so it can clearly all wind up with a final battle against a version of Grant Ward rescued from the timestream by the Malick kid and the Chronicoms.
Like I said, I still enjoy it, but it’s been limping for a while.

Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

I don’t hate it. In fact I still enjoy it.
And I don’t hate Titans or Legends of Tomorrow (is that still going?).
It’s just... not as good as it was.
And I’m disappointed that more interesting things like Netflix Marvel and Cloak & Dagger had to be shelved, while this has (slowly) petered out.
Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
So, going by these trademark acquisitions, Square-Enix likely intends to produce a remake of FFVII: Crisis Core, A Before Crisis remake, and a potential Sephiroth prequel game. All of which I'm completely down for. Now, all they need to do is fix Dirge of Cerberus.
